Rose-Tinted Young Love Bottled in 'Blue is the Warmest Color' Trailer
Double-takes, meaningful glances, hands held, kisses stolen, glasses raised, faces slapped -- the entire cycle of youthful romance is captured here.
Blue is the Warmest Color, the gay, romantic drama with the infamous ten-minute sex scene that came seemingly out of nowhere to take the top prize at Cannes this year, is headed to U.S. shores on Oct. 25. The French film brings with it an NC-17 rating and some controversy -- the stars and director Abdellatif Kechiche had an uncomfortable exchange during the film's Los Angeles press day over working conditions -- but mostly, it brings with it a tidal wave of good buzz, much of it heaped upon the nuanced and naturalist performance of its two stars, Adele Exarchopoulos and Lea Seydoux.
Now comes the film's first American trailer, a worldess mini-film set to the longing vocals of French-born Victoria Legrand, lead singer of dream pop duo Beach House. Double-takes, meaningful glances, hands held, kisses stolen, glasses raised, faces slapped -- the entire cycle of young love is captured here. (And whatever is left out, well, it's sure to be in that ten-minute scene.)
It was all enough to earn a designation as "magnificent" from Cannes jury president Steven Spielberg, whose praise for Blue ("We were under the spell of the film and its wonderful actresses...") is quoted in the trailer.

Paly 2011 Lacrosse Player Dies of Meningitis
Original post made by Saddened, Palo Alto High School, on May 10, 2012
Washington University undergraduate Emily Benatar died Wednesday at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. She was a first-year student from California. Chancellor Mark Wrighton says her family was with her when she died.
Benatar was diagnosed last month. No other cases have been diagnosed at Washington University.
The bacteria that cause the disease are transmitted from person to person through droplets of respiratory or throat secretions, such as through kissing, sneezing and coughing, or through sharing food or drink.
The family is holding a memorial service at 7 p.m. May 19 in the Congregation Beth Am in Los Altos Hills, Calif. A campus memorial service will be in the fall semester.

So sorry about the sad news... Condolences.
Parents, don't let your kids go off to college before first getting them a meningitis vaccination.

Very sad and meningitis vaccinations are a wise idea.
There is no meningitis vaccination the viral and other forms of meningitis-but they are less fatal
Our condolences to her family

YMMV: Dark Angels
- Alternate Character Interpretation: Several:
- Astelan presents an alternate interpretation of Lion El'Jonson in Angels of Darkness, that he was not the loyal son he appeared to be, and instead deliberately delayed his approach to Terra to see who would win the Horus Heresy, the Emperor or Horus. This was pretty firmly entrenched until the Horus Heresy started, where it shows that Jonson was fanatically loyal to the Emperor, believing that it was better the Space Marine Legions destroy each other than risk overthrowing the Emperor.
- Cypher invokes this from one Segmentum to another. Is he the most vile and evil of the Fallen Angels, who is making his way to Terra in an attempt to kill the Emperor on the Golden Throne? Or is he the Fallen's only hope of redemption, instead trying to take the broken Lion Sword to the Emperor to be reforged and earn absolution in the Emperor's eyes? No one can seem to agree on it. Horus Heresy books show that he may have been the cause of Luther's fall to Chaos, while other books show him helping Imperial Guard troops defend themselves. Even Angels of Darkness is wary on the subject, indicating that he only wanted the gene-seed and didn't take part in tampering with the annihilus.

The American Library Association held its annual conference in San Francisco this year. For Little Pickle Press that meant a short trip to the convention center. For out-of-towners, it was a ticket to the one of the most jubilant #SFpride weekends ever. From the opening reception Friday night, it was clear that #ALAac15 was going to be special. The exhibits were abuzz and #lovewins was in the air. From our home base in the North Hall, we handed out advance reading copies of Craig Lew's Young Adult debut, Breath to Breath, and got to know librarians, authors, and our fellow Ingram Publisher Services booth-mates. See below for photos from the conference.
We hope you enjoyed ALA as much as we did! We can't wait until next year! See you then.

About Jim Moore
I'm a former contract photographer with Gamma-Liaison Agency.
Got my first experiences in photography in the very late 1950s from my artist mother and photo-loving dad, who encouraged me to put my work out there. Won my first prize in photography in 1963, for a picture of a brandy snifter with Christmas lights behind it. Never looked back. Gained my professional photo legs starting as a teenager shooting for the Northern Virginia Sun, back in the mid-'60s, when Rolleis, Pentaxes, Leicas, and Nikons (and the occasional Hasse) ranged the landscape. During and after college I was the photo editor for the Longmont, Colorado, Times-Call. At the time, the most demanding piece I shot was the crash of the Wichita State football team plane in the Rockies in 1970. I moved back to Washington, DC, in the early 1970s, and began freelancing for Gamma-Liaison. My format of choice was 35mm, but I also shot with Hasselblads and larger format cameras. For many years, I enjoyed the darkroom wonders of black and white large-format work, considering anything under 16X20 to be too small to be interesting--but, came to love it all. By the late '70s and '80s I was fortunate to have been published in a wide variety of national and international publications, with the help and support of a great many wonderful editors and colleagues.
I took a break from full-time agency shooting in the mid-1980s to be a dad who actually came home at reasonable hours and spent weekends with my children. Now, with the kids grown and on their own, it's time to reenergize the shooting eyes and become immersed in the wonderful world of photography again.
I hope you like my gallery.

It's weird to think, but "The Sims" franchise used to be a game about building a tiny town. You made roads, you built schools…occasionally, an ecoterrorist would show up. Now it seems like "The Sims" is more about making virtual people and covering them with insane tattoos. Thanks to mods, hacking and the nonstop weirdness of humans in general, you can outfit a sim with everything from back tattoos to face tattoos to, uh, llamas.
Here are some of the weirdest Sims tattoo designs on the internet, some of which are possibly NSFW, if you work in an office that discourages blurred-out virtual genitalia.

GERMANTOWN HILLS - Lowell Johnson, 78, formerly of Germantown Hills, died on Wednesday, March 5, 2014, at his home of 20 years in Bozeman, Mont., of complications from multiple sclerosis.
He was born on the family farm on March 6, 1935, in Roseau, Minn., to Ernest and Edda (Berentzen) Johnson.
Following graduation in 1953 from Roseau High School and from the University of Minnesota in 1958 with a degree in mechanical engineering, he was employed by Caterpillar Tractor in Peoria, Ill., for 35 years, until his retirement in 1990. He enjoyed the work he did and the folks with whom he worked. While at the East Peoria plant, he was credited with 13 patents, dealing with torque converters, drive trains and retarders. In 1984, he transferred to another facility and worked on advanced power train systems.
He married Marcia Davidson on Dec. 27, 1959, in Silver Bay, Minn. Their sons, Brian, Craig and Keith, provided opportunity for Lowell's participation in Cub Scouts and Christ Church, as well as the boys' interests in cross country, skiing, hockey, scouting, music, motocross, hunting, photography and cars. He was a hobbyist who taught himself darkroom developing, woodworking and a lot of home shop projects. He designed the family home in Germantown Hills. The highlight of most summers was a family camping vacation to the Rocky Mountain West.
In 1978, Lowell and Marcia became foster parents through Catholic Social Services, and over a period of 10 years, were "parents" to four Vietnamese or Laotian refugee teens and one American.
Diagnosed with MS at 49, Lowell decided to retire as soon as possible to enjoy whatever years of mobility and well-being he had. Following his 1990 retirement at age 55, Lowell and Marcia moved to the Bitterroot Valley of Montana, where the previous summer they had, on impulse, bought a small log home. Lowell found myriad projects to enjoy on the 10 acres with outbuildings. In 1994, they moved to Bozeman, where son, Keith, and family had moved. They loved the neighborhood that adopted them and their view of the mountains, as well as the day trips to Yellowstone Park. As Lowell's mobility diminished, he pursued more computer-driven projects and designs. The most recent was the challenging and rewarding 3D printer. His attitude was almost always positive, speaking of his MS only when pointedly asked.
He is survived by his wife, Marcia; sons, Brian and his wife, Eileen, of Visalia, Calif., Craig of Centennial, Wyo., and Keith of Bozeman, Mont.; grandsons, Danny, Andrew and Nick; and granddaughter, Jessica.
There are no services planned. The family requests that any gifts in Lowell's memory be offered to Pilgrim Congregational Church, 2118 S. Third, Bozeman, MT 59715; or Gallatin Valley Land Trust, P.O. Box 7021, Bozeman, MT 59771; or to their local food bank.

The Dark Roots Of 'The Nutcracker' And The Man Who Wrote It
This is the time of year when one man's work is widely - if indirectly - celebrated. His name used to be hugely famous, but nowadays, it draws blank stares, even from people who know that work. E.T.A. Hoffman, who lived from 1776 to 1822 in the Kingdom of Prussia, was responsible for a work that is a staple the holiday season, the original author of The Nutcracker. You can read more about the story, which aired last Christmas, here.

"I was very impressed with the design and the quality of the paper. It's very sturdy for a postcard. I am getting married in November, so I was looking for an elegant Fall design. The text is clear and to the point. Very easy to read and to post for an easy reminder. Also the customer service was excellent! They were very helpful when I called the next day when I needed to edit words before printing. I highly recommend this design for a fall wedding or any wedding paper diva product."
"The color blue on top of the black stands out and the font is beautiful. I'm going to purchase these again! I love love love them!!"
"i ordered the tan version of these. they arrived exactly as pictured. i have recieved many compliments about how classy they were yet they went well with our simple and casual wedding theme. would recommend to anyone having a simple classy beach wedding"
"We have been together forever and finally decided to get married. Since this was not the first time for either of us, this was the perfect way to share our great news with our friends. The quality of this product was wonderful, and designing it and seeing the finished product before ordering - all such fun to do together. And the customer service and personal attention we received from our design assistant was great. PERFECT!"
"I got my save-the-dates 5 days early so that was a plus! I was originally concerned that it was going to be too small but, then I looked at them and they were the perfect size. Not too small and not too large either. :) I didn't know what to put on the left side on the back of the postcard. So I just wrote a little funny note so a couple of close friends then I did a rubber stamp for the other's and they looked amazing!! Again you don't have to do the little note/stamp on the side it looks great without it, just something extra that I did. :D Enjoy!!"

Carpe Punctum!
Where to start. I guess I would have to say I'm a extremely generous, genuine and caring person who is just looking for that special someone who will complete me. I come from a large family and that really means a lot to me and molded me into the person I am today. I'm first generation American. My mom was born and Latvia and immigrated to the US after WWII. My moms family struggles escaping Latvia during the war, living in internment camps and then struggling to live the American dream is a story that will bring you to tears. The strong family bond influenced the man I have become. Growing up hearing those stories instilled a huge work ethic, passion, and energy to succeed. I guess the fatal flaw is I'm extremely competitive which has served me well In life. I've hit most of my financial and business goals. On a personal nature I love to travel, experience new cultures, and live an adventuresome life. I lived in Alaska for 10 years and that really influenced my outdoor living experience. I've traveled all over Europe and South America and there are many more places And cultures I want to experience. I moved to Lake Tapps about 5 years ago and love the recreational lake life style. I do miss living in the city, but I so very much love to cook and entertain. My home has become the oasis for my entire family. I also enjoy spending time with all of my extended family and being a influence and Godfather to all of my nieces and nephews. I find it hard to talk about myself, but basically I'm looking for soulmate and find that person who I can have a wonderful life with. Thanks for checking me out!

I have a Rails 3 app and I'm using Devise and jQTouch.
I've got all of my mobile views working except for "sign in" and "register".
When I try to sign in using the mobile version, I get the following:
Missing template user_sessions/create with {:locale=>[:en, :en], :formats=>[:mobile], :handlers=>[:rxml, :erb, :rjs, :builder, :rhtml]} in view paths
For other controllers, I added format.mobile and created mobile views, but for sign in and register I am having trouble sorting them out.
Any ideas on how to get my jQTouch mobile views working with Devise for sign in and register?

The triumphant story of baseball and America after World War II
In 1945 Major League Baseball had become a ghost of itself. Parks were half empty, the balls were made with fake rubber, and mediocre replacements roamed the fields, as hundreds of players, including the game's biggest stars, were serving abroad, devoted to unconditional Allied victory in World War II.
But by the spring of 1946, the country was ready to heal. The war was finally over, and as America's fathers and brothers were coming home, so too were the sport's greats. Ted Williams, Stan Musial, and Joe DiMaggio returned with bats blazing, making the season a true classic that ended in a thrilling seven-game World Series between the Boston Red Sox and the St. Louis Cardinals. America also witnessed the beginning of a new era in baseball-it was a year of attendance records, the first year Yankee Stadium held night games, the last year the Green Monster wasn't green, and, most significant, Jackie Robinson's first year playing in the Brooklyn Dodgers' system.
The Victory Season brings to vivid life these years of baseball and war, including the littleknown "World Series" that servicemen played in a captured Hitler Youth stadium in the fall of 1945. Robert Weintraub's extensive research and vibrant storytelling enliven the legendary season that embodies what we now think of as the game's golden era.

Taking tips, chasing leads, and solving problems
H&M accused of using medium-size model to display 'plus-size' clothing
H&M, the Swedish discount clothing giant, is being criticized for displaying plus-size clothing on a model who can fit a size medium.
Photos of the model, Sabina Karlsson, are used in the plus-size section of H&M's recent mail-order catalog, where she's wearing a jeans blouse, jeans, T-shirts and even underwear. (See some photos of her here.)
In a response to the controversy, H&M released a statement insisting that models in the plus-size section of the catalog wear at least a European size 44, which corresponds to an American size 14.
"She fits size (EU) 44 and that is also the size of the clothes she is wearing in our pictures," H&M press contact Håcan Andersson said in a statement to the Swedish publication The Local.
However, Ford Models -- Karlsson's international agency -- listed her size is size 40, according to The Local. Her Swedish agent, Mikas, initially listed her size as 42, but later changed it to 42-44 after confirming that she was photographed in a size 44 for the H&M photo shoot -- a size she "fit perfectly."
The Local pointed out that both model agencies' initial listings are below H&M's definition of plus size. The H&M spokesperson said it's open to "interpretation" whether Karlsson should be considered plus size.
Customers expressed dismay, indicating that H&M is manipulating sizes and creating unrealistic expectations of what women should look like.
"You should be shamed as a company to say that this is plus size!" one customer Tweeted, according to the Huffington Post.
Another consumer Tweeted, "She's beautiful and looks way better than the 'normal' models."
Among the critics who spoke out against H&M for the photos was swimmer and anti-bulimia advocate Emma Igelström..
"By calling this model plus size, they are strengthening the idea that super skinny is ideal," she said.
Several other clothing stores have been reminded recently that weight is a sensitive issue with consumers. First, there was Target apologizing for advertising its plus-size dresses as "manatee gray." Then there was Abercrombie & Fitch, which refused to sell plus sizes.
What do you think? Did H&M cross the line? Or is this par for the course in the industry? Share a comment below.

The perfect storm for shorts any bets we break $13 tommorrow?http://content.health.msn.com/content/article/90/100714.htm?GT1=4244
The egg yoke is what is high in cholesterol, not the egg whites. "Egg beaters" for people with high cholesterol is simply made up of egg whites, and food coloring. The egg yokes are removed.If this is the case, then people will need to eat MORE eggs. It takes more eggs to gain the egg whites for a cholesterol free omelet. High in protein, and no cholesterol.CALM is undervalued at this level.
Study paid for by drug producers!!Its all garbage!!!!!!
you don't know much about colesteral lowering, do you?i, for one, eat at least 20 eggs a week, am a heart patient(due to decades of low fat dieting and high colestoral) and now have LDL in the 60s.all you have to do is cut the sugar, potatos, and bread, and take the right meds, including either zetia or phytosterals which control the ingested colesteral. colesteral from food, btw, accounts for less than 20% of LDL in a body. the rest is produced by the liver. if you do not have heart disease, you can completely ignore the amount of colesteral from food, although saturated fat from meat should be limited.the heart health debate over eggs is over: eat eggs and live!
The connection between dietary cholesterol and blood cholesterol was debunked years ago...as has been the connection between heart disease and cholesterol.Hundreds of studies confirm this. We don't hear about them, because of the biggest scam ever perpetrated on the American public by the pharmaceutical/medical industry -- that people need to take drugs to "control" their cholesterol levels.Thousands of deaths have resulted from taking these drugs, which go unpublicized. The statin drugs have been shown to routinely cause cancer in rodents -- and will no doubt be shown to do the same in humans after a few more years have passed. A number of large studies have shown that mortality rates are HIGHER when cholesterol is artificially lowered. None of this stuff ever makes the press (you think any of the media is about to alienate their biggest advertisers?)Don't let them put you on any of the statin drugs. They're poison.http://www.ravnskov.nu/ncep_guidelines.htm
Agreed! In the restaurant business I see absolutely no shyness at the retail level about eating eggs. I see people daily eating 3, 4, maybe 5 (and sometimes 8 or more) scrambled eggs off the buffet.You know the overall diet fad is fairly idiotic for most of the population wishing to lose weight. Weight control is best attained by adequate well balanced intake and exercise. To a large degree, weight is about the amount taken in vs the amount expended through exercise/activity.Eggs have taken a bad rap in the past, but that's changing. I just wonder what Fred's going to do with the 75 million dollar war chest?

Summary: This major revision of Who Built America?, the widely acclaimed history by the American Social History Project, surveys the nation's past from the perspective of working men and women, examining the roles they have played in the making of modern America. Growing out of the effort to reinterpret American history from ''the bottom up,'' Who Built America? not only documents the country's presidents, politics, and wars along with the life and values of the nation's elite, but it also focuses on the fundamental social and economic conflicts in our history, integrating the history of community, family, gender roles, race, and ethnicity into the more familiar history of politics and economic development. This new textbook edition from Worth Publishers incorporates a stronger chronological focus, the latest scholarship, and increased coverage of several topics and areas of history, while retaining the critical edge that makes Who Built America? unique. ...show moreSummary: This major revision of Who Built America?, the widely acclaimed history by the American Social History Project, surveys the nation's past from the perspective of working men and women, examining the roles they have played in the making of modern America.
