She's lost
No sooner than I'd submitted this column last Friday afternoon and was ready to enjoy the sunshine did I realize that one of my most valuable possessions was lost. My prescription sunglasses. It seemed ironic that I'd been writing about a missing object, ignorant that I was in a similar situation. My prescription sunglasses are […] [Read More]

They do not have as much support as it said on line. And the color is fading and they take a long time to dry

Light and comfortable
I teach water fitness on the deck. These shoes are light and comfortable, but when the deck is wet, they do not perform as well as the Speedo Hydro Trainer . These can be kind of slippery. Also, no drain holes in the bottom. I sometimes go into the pool to demonstrate a move and need the shoes to drain quickly.

color fades
I workout in the water for up to 12 hours each week. They are comfortable and protect my feet from the rough pool floor. I bought the gray and blue. All of the blue has faded away, so now what I have is shoes that are two shades of gray. Not what I wanted. Otherwise, it's a good shoe.

Speedo Mens Hydro Comfort Shoes
I purchased these shoes for water aerobics and running in the pool. The fit, finish, and cushioning of the sole are good. The traction of the sole on wet tile and the pool bottom however is extremely slippery making this shoe a better fit for a beach/outdoor shoe then a pool exercise shoe.

Nice smell, not moisturizing - at least in my experience
2 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Trinity on Apr 04, 2014
The sent is very nice, but I can smell some alcohol in the first few minutesThe amount is quite small for the price and I don't feel any real moisturizing effect on my skin. It stays firm and tight, but I want it soft and moisturized. It might be good for people with sagging skin, but I wasn't looking for that effect, I wanted something to soften my dry skin.
Good quality hydrating cream

This cream hydrates my skin all day long and is one of my favourites so far! I would gladly use it more often if it the price was a little more economical, especially being such a small tube.

I really like this day cream. It moisturizes well and have a pleasant scent.

Video:How to Paint Furniturewith Grace Denoncourt
Is your favorite table in need of some sprucing up? A fresh coat of paint can revive an older piece of furniture.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Paint FurnitureHi, I'm Grace Denoncourt for About.com Home. There are so many older pieces of furniture that would look great if only they weren't so beat up. Today I'm going to show you how to restore that old furniture by touching up the dings and repainting it, so it looks new again.
Tools Needed to Paint FurnitureFor this project, you will need:
- a painter's drop cloth
- a pair of vinyl gloves
- a few 1- to 2-inch foam brushes
- fine grit sandpaper
- a tack rag
- a couple of soft work towels or rags
- wood putty
- a putty knife
- water-based latex paint
- water-based satin varnish
Prepare the Work AreaTo get started, clear the area where you will be working and lay down a painter's drop cloth to avoid leaving paint marks on the floor. Also, remember to open a window or turn on a fan so there is plenty of ventilation while you work.
Repair Imperfections in the FurnitureFirst, you want to make sure that there aren't any dings, dents, or old nail holes in the furniture. If there are, using your putty knife and wood putty, apply a small amount of wood putty to the areas that need repaired. Feather out the edges of the wood putty around the surrounding areas of the repair. Allow the wood putty to dry.
Sand the FurnitureAlthough older finish can stay on the furniture, if your wood piece was previously painted, the paint needs a grittier surface to grip. We're going to give our furniture surface "teeth," so the new paint has something to grip.
To do this, take your fine grit sandpaper and lightly sand the surfaces and the edges of the area you want to paint. Pay special attention to any areas where you may have applied the wood putty.
Wipe Down the FurnitureAfter sanding, take one of your work rags and completely wipe off any sawdust particles on the furniture. Once the majority of the dust has been removed, go over every area of the furniture that needs painted with your tack rag. Make sure you remove every little particle with the tack rag before you start painting the wood.
Paint the FurnitureNext, using your foam brush and water-based latex paint, load your foam brush with paint, just about halfway up the brush.
Apply the paint in long, smooth, even strokes across the surface and edges of the furniture. Rotate brush strokes from left to right as you work your way across the furniture's surface. Allow the paint to dry.
When to Apply VarnishIf your furniture is going to remain indoors, you may not need to do this next step. However, if the furniture is going to be outside, or if you have a lot of traffic in your home, you will want to protect the new paint job with a protective varnish coat.
Use the Same Base of VarnishIt's important to note here that whenever you apply a varnish to a stained or painted surface of furniture, you'll want to use the same base of varnish as you used for staining or painting the furniture. Just remember--never mix oil and water.
Apply Varnish to the FurnitureWith a clean foam brush, load the brush about halfway up the brush with your water-based satin varnish. Apply the varnish with the same long, smooth, even stroke pattern that you used to apply the stain. Allow the varnish to dry before touching any of the surfaces. There--looks good as new.

By Army Capt. Steve AlvarezSpecial to American Forces Press Service
ORLANDO, Fla., April 27, 2009 Army Spc. Carlos Andres Espinosa and Marine Corps Pfc. Ryan Rundle are no strangers to taking oaths. Both of them previously took oaths of enlistment and agreed to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, but on April 24, the U.S. government asked them to take another oath: the oath of allegiance that made them both American citizens.
"I had hopes it would happen someday," Espinosa said. "It feels great! I finally became a U.S. citizen."
Espinosa's journey to citizenship started when he left his native Colombia. Eight years later, the voyage brought him into the ranks of the Army Reserve, where he serves with the 912th Adjutant General Company as a human resources specialist.
In December 2008, Espinosa's company commander learned that the soldier was eager to deploy and serve his country overseas, but he could not deploy in his current military occupational skill because he did not have a security clearance.
Army Capt. Michael Scahill, then the commander of the 912th, sought help from the 143rd Sustainment Command's staff judge advocate in getting Espinosa's packet reviewed via a special program that helps to expedite servicemembers' applications for citizenship. About four months later, Espinosa was granted his citizenship.
"I'm just thrilled to be able to see this in living color," Scahill said. He was the keynote speaker at the naturalization ceremony for the two men.
During his remarks, Scahill said his grandfather arrived in the United States from Ireland and processed through Ellis Island in 1923 and later raised Scahill's father in Chicago. And Scahill's connection to the naturalization process has another family connection. His wife is Iranian, and he said their children are being reared in a "bilingual culture."
For Rundle, the path to citizenship took a little longer — 12 years, to be exact. He left Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1996, and had to spend five years in the United States to earn his "green card." Citizenship and Immigration Services officials said each case is different and some take longer than others do, but Rundle did not seem bothered by the wait.
The Camp Lejeune, N.C., infantryman with less than one year of military service under his belt was granted special leave to attend his naturalization ceremony.
"I wasn't expecting all this," Rundle said. "I'm a little nervous about it, but I appreciate it."
In front of a group of CIS officials, friends, family and well-wishers, the two men raised their right hands and took the oath of allegiance.
"We wish to thank you for your service," Scahill told the two men. "Somebody has to protect life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
Terry Tierny, the CIS assistant director for adjudications, administered the oath and echoed the sentiment.
"I want to express my gratitude to you for choosing this career path," Tierney said. "You're now citizens of the greatest nation in the world."
The new citizens are looking forward to deploying now that they have cleared this milestone.
"We're on workup right now for Afghanistan," Rundle said. His unit likely will leave in August.
Espinosa, whose military job requires a security clearance, will now be able to get his clearance and do the job he joined the military to do.
"Now I'll be able to be deployed," Espinosa said. "Serving means a lot to me. This is really a great opportunity for me." He likely will deploy in the fall and head to Afghanistan.
The two men have much in common; both were born outside the United States, and both enlisted to serve in the U.S. military. But later this year when they deploy to support operations in Afghanistan, both will be living out the words of the oath of allegiance they declared as citizens.
It reads, in part, "I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by law," and "I will perform work of national importance."
CIS officials said their agency receives 6 to 7 million applications to process each year.
(Army Capt. Alvarez serves with the 143rd Sustainment Command.)

The Ospreys have announced that prize asset scrum-half Mike Phillips had signed a four-year contract with the region. It is thought that the Ospreys had to fight off interest from Several French and English Clubs aswell as the Stormers in South Africa.
The news brings an end to speculation surrounding the future of a player who has been at the Ospreys since joining in the summer of 2007, making his debut in a 13-13 Magners League draw against Edinburgh at Murrayfield in October that year, following his delayed arrival at the Liberty Stadium due to his involvement in the Rugby World Cup.
Capped 38 times by Wales and three times by the Lions, 27-year old Phillips (who wears Adidas Predator X rugby boots) has recently returned from an injury lay-off after suffering ligament damage in the win over Clermont Auvergne at the Liberty Stadium last October, coming off the bench in the recent Magners League game against Connacht.
"I've really enjoyed my time as an Osprey over the last three seasons and I'm pleased that I've been able to agree a new contract," said Phillips, who will stay in Swansea until 2014.
"With my future sorted, it means that I can just concentrate now on getting myself up to speed for some of the big games that we've got coming up.
"We have ambitions to be among the best sides in Europe, we aren't there yet but we are heading in the right direction. With the set-up here, everything is in place to go all the way and I'm excited about the future for the Ospreys. There's a lot of expectations on us, but that's something that we just have to live with."
"The Ospreys have helped me to develop as a player no end over the last three years, the improvement in my game has allowed me to represent Wales and the Lions while I've been here.
"I want to further my international career with Wales over the next few years and get on the next Lions tour, and if I'm going to achieve those longer term aims, then the Ospreys and the coaches here will clearly be a big factor in that, like they have been with everything I've achieved since coming here."


text: The Nazi Occultism wiki last edited by KRITTERS on 11/07/13 12:01PM View full history OverviewNazi occultism is a popular basis for conspiracy theories, and has been used extensively in both films and games. The secrecy in which the Nazis conducted experiments acts as a superb base for the construction of conspiracy theories, even if the theories themselves are not entirely grounded in reality. Many of the theories do at least have some historic basis, and act as a method of allowing gamers to experience shooting Nazis in a whole new way. Some games have used Nazi occultism as a means to alter the flow and outcome of World War II within the scope of the narrative, with a prime example in the form of the entire Wolfenstein series.OriginsThe origin of Nazi occultism in games can easily be traced back to one of the precursors of Hitler's Nazi Party; the Thule Society. The Thule Society was formed of earlier groups in the late 1800s and early 1900s, with a focus on German nationalism. At the time, Germany was an autocratic nation under the rule of Kaiser Wilhelm II, who would later go on to lead the German Empire during World War I. The Thule Society was considered a research group for German antiquity, though was a secretive organization despite their apparently legal ethos.The Thule Society bankrolled Anton Drexler and the National Socialist German Worker's Party, which eventually became the Nazi Party, headed by Adolf Hitler, though it eventually died off and became another part of the Nazi government. Key members of the Thule Society included Alfred Rosenberg and Rudolf Hess. Rosenberg was responsible for the attempts to change Christianity within Nazi Germany to a concept he dubbed 'Positive Christianity', where Adolf Hitler was considered a god among men. Hess was one of Hitler's closest allies until he flew to Scotland during the war for unknown reasons.To trace the concept of Nazi occultism back further, it could be linked to Guido von List, who spoke of an Aryan race of supermen long before Adolf Hitler ever tried to incorporate the idea into his political ambitions and life goals. Von List spoke of the 'Ario-Germanen', who were a race of super-humans pre-dating modern humanity, and it was from his views that the precursor to the Thule Society came into existence.NazismInside the Schutzstaffel was an additional group, known as the 'Ahnenerbe'. The group was a think tank for "intellectual ancient history". The initial goal of the group was to 'prove' that the world had once been ruled by Aryans hailing from Germany and other Nordic nations. The early claim of Heinrich Himmler was that these Aryan supermen were sent from the heavens and lived on Atlantis, where they advanced separately to normal humans.The Ahnenerbe are known as the occult division of the SS, and as a result, are famed for their expeditions. Among these expeditions was the 1939 trip to New Swabia, which has been a popular topic for conspiracy theorists with an interest in the Nazis and their occult meanings. The Ahnenerbe are frequently confused with the 'Vril Society', who have not been historically verified. In fact, the concept of the Vril Society came from an 1871 science-fiction novel, entitled Vril: The Power of the Coming Race (though originally just The Coming Race). Nevertheless, both groups are connected with the Nazi occult and therefore theories relating to both have been included.Occult TheoriesThere are many theories relating to the Nazi occult, with some common examples being Nazi UFOs and the experiments known as 'Die Glocke', or 'The Bell'. Due to the sheer number of theories existing it is impossible to list and detail all of them, though many of the theories that exist are derived from the less-well documented events in the timeline of Nazi history. One has to avoid though unsubstantiated stories found on the internet with no historical background like Nazi UFOs or Hitler's brain in Antarctica (refer to the book "Nazi Secrets")Occultism in GamesOccultism in videogames is not a new concept, though Nazi occultism is often intended to confuse players or otherwise hinder their understanding of the story, until the developers choose to unveil the main focus of their story. Below are some of the best examples of occultism within games:Operation DarknessA strategy RPG set during World War II, the story begins as standard World War II fair, with the player taking control of Allied faction characters to confront Nazi soldiers in battle. However, the story very quickly takes on an overt, supernatural twist with occult elements, as members of the allies are revealed to be werewolves, while certain characters in the Nazi ranks are secretly vampires. Over the course of the story, other supernatural enemies are encountered as the Nazis perform acts such as raising the dead to do their bidding.Call of Duty: World at War / Call of Duty: Black OpsBoth Call of Duty titles are listed due to the close relationship between their events. Starting in World at War, Treyarch included an easter egg mode entitled 'Nazi Zombies'. The mode never had an official story until the third map was released, in the swamps of 'Shi No Numa'. The story was told entirely through easter eggs around the maps, and the dedicated fans of the Zombies mode found themselves trying to find out more about the undead enemy they were fighting.From the current story, it can be linked with Nazi occultism. The second map to include the specified characters was 'Der Riese', or 'The Giant'. The term has been synonymously linked with the Nazi experiments known as 'Die Glocke'. The game suggests that these experiments were real, and the Nazis sought to reanimate the dead as an actual fighting unit, theoretically making them unbeatable. Whether the Nazis ever aimed to do such a thing is unclear.

CANTON, Ohio -- In the final days of the race, with national polls indicating growing support for Barack Obama, Sarah Palin has crafted a two-prong strategy for taking on the top of the Democratic ticket: acknowledge Obama as a strong speaker and inspirational figure, but question his policy positions, especially on taxes and spending. Gone are the personal attacks about his connection to former domestic terrorist William Ayers and a community group accused of voter registration fraud.
"See, the rousing speeches of our opponent, they can fill stadiums. but they cannot keep our country safe," she has said repeatedly over the weekend. Originally, the line had been preceded by one calling Obama "admirable" but characterizing him as unready to lead; that line was dropped over the weekend.
Although she seems ready to acknowledge his rhetorical skills, Palin has accused Obama of having an "ideological commitment to higher taxes," and she couples him with the prospect of Democratic majorities in Congress, saying the "far left wing of the Democrat Party" would cut defense spending by 25 percent.
Just uttering the name of Rep. Barney Frank, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee who suggested the defense cut two weeks ago, brings a consistent chorus of boos, larger than when Palin mentions House Speaker Nancy Pelosi or Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Palin has tightened her stump speech in recent days and her voice has been, at times, strained from two months on the campaign trail. Like most candidates, she is logging many miles in these final days, hitting several markets in the swing states of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
At times, though, it has felt like Palin was not taking full advantage of the final 100 hours. Halloween day was spent with small stops at a tool manufacturer and an apple orchard, with several hours spent on the bus in between. And on Sunday morning, Palin's first event didn't start until noon, even with an hour of rest gained from daylight saving time. Perhaps Palin is less accustomed to the breakneck pace of the final days, having not campaigned in the presidential primaries like the three other presidential principles.
Her staff has certainly shown signs of rookie mistakes, putting her on at a rally in Ocala, Fla., just minutes before the highly anticipated Florida-Georgia football game on Saturday. Her speech ended almost the exact moment of the kickoff, and local officials acknowledged attendance would have been higher without the scheduling conflict.
And the campaign earned a large amount of egg on its face Saturday when Palin was prank-called by two Canadian radio hosts, pretending to be French President Nicolas Sarkozy. The duo held a six-minute conversation with Palin, using fake names for the prime minister of Canada and discussing the "prime minister of Quebec," without Palin raising an objection, a particularly egregious error for the governor of a state adjacent to Canada.
Campaign aides were loathe to explain how it happened, and while it was not a fatal mistake, it brought additional attention to a campaign operation that has been criticized for lack of organization and a candidate who has appeared as a neophyte on the international stage.

Teaching Strengths
- As a psychology major, I understand that each day my students will be different than they were the day before.
- I recognize there are so many factors involved in the art of teaching and even more involved in learning. It is important for me to learn as much as I possibly can about each student, every day, so I can meet their needs.
- I understand that learning preferences vary and I embrace those challenges.
- I value people. It is really that simple for me, regardless of where they came from, what they look like or where others think they are headed.
- Teaching students to love to learn and giving them the tools to succeed in all areas for the rest of their lives is my passion.
- Southern California College, BA 1991 (psychology)

Teacher Research Topic
I plan on researching about areas where kinesthetic learners are more involved in traditional reading classrooms. My goal is to find non-traditional ways to engage students who may have been labeled "non readers" and who typically are not interested in outside reading, while continuing to challenge readers who may feel they have already "arrived."

Magic Trackpad Review
External trackpads aren't exactly new, but Apple has managed to instill no small degree of excitement into their new Magic Trackpad by virtue of their multitouch technology. Essentially the trackpad from a MacBook Pro, sliced out and blown up, the wireless peripheral promises to bring gestures Apple's mobile users have been enjoying to their desktop compatriots. Check out the SlashGear review after the cut.

In his end-of-the-year news conference, the President claimed he would be "persistent" on those parts of his agenda which have not yet been realized. This was particularly true of immigration, as the President spoke eloquently of the DREAM Act, the plan to allow undocumented students brought to America as children to obtain a path to citizenship through higher education or military service.
But if Congress couldn't pass the DREAM Act with its strongly Democratic makeup, the prospects for next year, with a Republican House and a less Democratic Senate, are dim.
Congressional Republicans said in interviews Thursday that their concerns about the measure remain strong, and both House and Senate GOP leaders said they would fight any attempt to legalize any of the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country before the administration secured the nation's southern border with Mexico.
"It is pointless to talk about any new immigration bills that grant amnesty until we secure the border, since such bills will only encourage more illegal immigration," incoming House Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Tex.) said in a statement.
In an interview, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), the ranking Republican on the House immigration subcommittee, accused Obama of playing politics with immigration and toying with Latino voters.
"It is extraordinarily unlikely that any version of comprehensive immigration reform that includes amnesty will go through the House of Representatives," he said.
The more the President talks about this, the more he actually has a second-term agenda item that he can sell in his re-election campaign. That's the proper context for this. Because immigration reform is DOA for the next two years.
What could trip up the Administration is this continuation of large deportations. The President has clearly gotten no credit for it from Republicans, as they maintain a "secure the border" fantasy that resembles the scenario of Zeno's Paradoxof the Arrow. Politicians must secure the border by half, and then half, and then half, never actually "securing the border," which is an ineffable concept to begin with. This ensures that immigration reform can never be passed, because of the outstanding need to "secure the border." And yet the deportations anger and frustrate the Latino community, the intended audience for the continued exhortations for immigration reform.
That's not a winning situation for the White House. They can talk about a more humane approach to immigration, or they can act on it.

Are you kidding me? Scott Hairston is not a part of this team's future. There is a reason why he has never been an everyday player. If another team wants him, go ahead and get whatever possible. At this point this season is over. They are not coming back. I'd rather see Duda struggling in RF than more of Hairston. It's not tha I don't like him. He has done well for what has been asked of him. However, I would rather start looking towards the future than making a futile attempt to hang on this year.
If he leaves it won't be because the Devils made a competitive offer but were outbid. It will be because the Devils cannot even make a competitive offer. If the Devils offer is near the others I think he will stay. He is more like Marty than Gomez or Holik, and will be the face of the franchise for many years to come.
That depends on how much I am already earning. If I am already being paid $1-2 million, then that extra $150,000 won't change much. There would have to be more to the new job than just the difference in money.
That's my point. This deal is fairer than Kovy's deal because Kovy is more likely to retire long before the contract expires.
How is this deal structured? The problem with the Kovalchuk deal is that the last few years were for VERY little money, lowering the deal's annual value to a manageable point. Whether this was fair or not is up for debate. Kovy's deal will run into his early 40s I believe, at a time when his effectiveness will no doubt be greatly diminished if he hasn't retired years earlier. Crosby's deal will run into his mid 30s. He will likely still be effective then, maybe not as much as now but still a valuable player. The only reason for him to not be playing then is if his injuries force him to retire prematurely. This deal is much more fair and likely structured that way. I would really doubt it is structured in any way like Kovy's deal, so Buttman will be ok with it.
So did she ever find her cell phone?? I'm really worried about this.
- "Next season this thing is going to be tricked out and covered in gold"
- "I'm switching this with Marty's nameplate. Next year he can be next to the Canadian with the weird French name. How the %#*}^ does he pronounce that??"
- "Next season this is going to say Zach Parise, Hockey God!"
Considering Doc's ties to the Devils, he probably feels he needs to go out of his way to praise the Kings so as to not sound like too much of a Devils homer. I had to listen to game 3 on the radio, so I don't know how the TV crew sounded for that game, but the radio crew, especially Sherry Ross, was RIPPING into the team. She sounded pissed and had no mercy. It was both sad and humorous at the same time.
Thursday was a scheduled day off, not a rainout.
This just goes to show you why Dickey is so good. It's easy to throw a shutout if you give up no hits. The real challenge is giving up hits and still throwing a shutout.
The math in the article does not quite work out. 2 runs in 4 innings would be a 4.50 ERA. This could LOWER his ERA to 4.80 but not RAISE it to that. In any case, if that is his ERA, he is not ready for the majors yet.
Let's also not forget that he was an important part of a record-setting penalty kill this season. Defensive ability is hard to measure in this league, and I have no idea how the other two are on defense, but he should get the trophy hands down if this part of the game is also considered.
I guess the solid contact of ball against bat was an unfamiliar feeling for his hand and it couldn't handle it.
Superman was from Krypton, Zenon's (actually Xenon) neighbor to the north.
Is Niese worth this contract? I don't know, and quite honestly I don't care either. His potential (there's that dirty word) says he is likely more than worth it. However this contract is relatively inexpensive over the 5 years, amounting to less per year than that joke Castillo was getting. I think the most important thing to take away from this is that maybe the Mets are willing to spend money once again. Better times are sure to come.
And I wouldn't trade Kovy or even Parise for any of them. It's not just about talent. It's also about chemistry. These guys have it.
Wow! Considering his really bad form for a lefty hitter in that picture it is no wonder he suffered a back injury. It was only a matter of time.
Also, the only way bulking up would have prevented this year's injury is if he became big enough to go through the end boards instead just stopping at them.
Didn't Henrique score on a penalty shot this year? I seem to remember him having breakaways left and right when he first started playing, and getting a penalty shot goal after being hauled down on one of them.
To add insult to injury, the Mets do not even get the Marlins 1st round draft pick. the Marlins finished below .500 so they get to keep their pick. Also, since the Padres finished below the Mets in the standings, I believe they get the Marlins 2nd round pick for losing Bell. I believe the Mets get the Marlins 3rd round pick. I may be wrong on this, but I think that is correct. So, considering what the Mets will be getting as compensation, he should have been traded at the deadline.

Jessica Simpson Is Pregnant With Surprise Second Baby: Report
So much for that weight loss!
Jessica Simpson is back on the cover of Us Weekly, this time because she's reportedly pregnant with her second child, just seven months after giving birth to daughter Maxwell Drew, and zero months after showing off her post-baby body to anyone who'll pay attention.
Neither Jessica nor her fiance, Eric Johnson, is quoted in the story, and her rep had no comment, but a source told Us Weekly, "It definitely wasn't planned. But yes, Jessica is pregnant again."
Wow! If this is true, congrats to the happy couple. At some point Jess and Eric need to find time to get married, but that's going to be tough when they're so busy makin' babies, then working hard to ditch the post-baby weight.

I recently had 2 great lunches at the Mercer Kitchen. One being on Christmas Day. Neither time we had a reservation, but were accomodated quickly. We found service efficient, and food to be tasty and well presented. The prix fixe lunch represents good value. I would return.
Posted by Hipster on 09/10/2008
First let me start the review by stating I am a good-looking 32 year old who likes to dine out and be social, going to hot spots, velvet ropes, and all that jazz. I always find it's important to know WHO is reviewing the restaurant- That being said, I will say that Mercer Kitchen has a pretty good scene, great people watching, truly a place that as you are walking through, other guests are trying to visually trash and adore you at the same time. You know the drill. So if you are looking for a be and be scene, then this is a decent place to start. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR GOOD FOOD AND SERVICE, this is NOT the place. No. no. NO! We were seating at about 9:45 or so- only ordered a few appetizers and 3 entrees. The 'large' seafood platter that came out was a HUGE bowl of ice, and 2 measly king crab legs, 8 shrimp (smallish), 8 tiny clams, 8 tiny oysters, and some mussels. So, asides from the fact I could have eaten this all myself, 5 (yes FIVE) of the muscles were unopened!!! For all you who don't know, this is a sign of a bad mussel. Shellfish, upon steaming/cooking, should naturally open up. We were served these! And no, they weren't accidentally in the mix. They way they were presented, each mussel is individually placed in the ice- so anyone would have immediately noticed. Also, we had to EXPLAIN this to our waitor. Isn't this common knowledge? Then it took an hour and 20 minutes to bring out the salads. THEN, the waiter came over and told us that TWO of the entrees on the menu were sold out. We explained this to the manager and all he could do was give excuse after excuse. How about admitting it was a terrible thing and comping a few items off the menu??? All in all, I will NOT go back, ever. Not even for the scene, it wasn't all that. There are way too many hot spots to go to in NYC.

I recently visited for a Saturday dinner. The atmosphere was very nice and so was the food. I had the duck entree and it was wonderful! Our server was great and helpful. I was so impressed that I am going there today to try their lunch menu!
Posted by Starpixel on 07/23/2008
I agree that the Mercer Kitchen has a wonderful ambiance and the service is 5 stars, if you want good food this is NOT the place to go, However, if you are on a liquid diet my suggestion is to come here just for the cocktails, then go elsewhere for dinner.
Posted by Anonymous on 07/22/2008
I expect more from a chef with a name than what I got. The atmosphere is nice and trendy. The waitress was nice enough, but we had a corner table and it seemed like we were forgotten half the time. We didn't even get bread. The appetizer I got was the Tuna Wasabi Pizza. Upon the first bite I found it delightful but after a few more I found the wasabi overpowering and made the pizza too hot to handle. The entre I got was the roast chicken. This was dry and basically overcooked. It was tough to chew and there was no juice to wash it down at all. The vegetables were also bland. They tasted boiled as if they just came out of the water and was placed on the plate. The dessert was "okay" but definately not good enough to redeem the rest of the meal. Value-wise, it was not worth it. My boyfriend ordered an 18 dollar glorified hamburger. I asked him if it was better than the southwestern burger at route 66 (est 10 dollars) and he said no. Overall I would NOT recommend if you appreciate food at all. If you just want to have fun with friends and drink, I hear the martinis are good.
Posted by midtowner on 04/06/2008
This place is so unique and beautiful - the candles and the warmth are very impressive. The food is fantastic as well. I had the baked salmon - the best meal I've had in a very long time. My friend had the chicken which was also outstanding. The appetizer pizza was unique but nothing too special. We had a great time there and I would highly recommend this place.
Posted by Anonymous on 03/12/2008
I forgot about this place after not having been in so many years. Service was very attentive and the place was jammed by 8PM on a Tuesday. Appetizers were the bass carpaccio and the hamachi. Main courses were the scallops and the salmon.. All wonderful.

The narrator is annoying

Slank can pretty much get away with anything. It is one of Indonesia's biggest bands in terms of popularity and sales, and its legions of supremely dedicated fans, known as Slankers, have created a subculture of their own.
Slankers buy, wear, love and live anything the band puts out. Like devoted sport fans whose admiration borders on the fanatical, Slankers have gone through a lot during the band's 28-year career, from the drug years, to sobriety, to the fallout that divided Slank into two camps, to the band's voyage to foreign lands to tour and record. Every moment has been noted, debated, admired and entered into the band's canon.
Which is why Slank's latest offering seems like another sure-fire best seller.
"Party" is a collection of Slank's hits, remixed into house music oblivion by some of Indonesia's most popular DJs. If Slank's pop-rock roots seem to sit uncomfortably with the glitzy lights of dance clubs, consider how often local house music enthusiasts decry the lack of artistry on the dance floor.
Certainly, Slank's elementary mix of insipid, yet catchy bar-rock and bluesy ballads is a perfect for the concept thrown out by "Party." But what could at least have been an immaculate pairing of two commercially viable musical styles never comes close to inspiring any amount of hedonistic rump-shaking.
The electronica here rids the album of anything that can remotely be considered pretentious — but not to its benefit. Beats are as paltry as can be, and run in the same mid-tempo dirge, draining the songs of the oomph even the lamest of house music tracks usually contain.
Slank's flag-waving melodies get buried inside automated thumps instead of leading the remixes' dynamics. Any prowess the original tracks demonstrated is nowhere to be felt between layers of indistinguishable synthesizer lines. The remixes feel hasty, without much consideration for how to capture the thing that made tracks such as the folksy "Orkes Sakit Hati" or the blues-infused "Pulau Biru" such monster hits.
When the melodies get buried, the lyrics — a big part of the band's mass appeal — get buried along with them. On DJ Abow Djail's remix of one of the country's biggest hits of the '90s, "Bang Bang Tut," the rockers' sense of immediacy gets bogged down in beats that never truly mesh with the original track. The beats essentially stay the same throughout, regardless of the song's arrangement. Verses get the same treatment as choruses, ultimately giving a sense of endless monotone.
DJ Telly Alvaro's take on "Ku Tak Bisa" opens with the same house beat we've heard in myriad tracks before, and dives further into an aurally foggy version of the melancholy pop song. While the electronic percussion's repetitive nature comes with the club-esque territory, it barely leaves room for the original track, which struggles to be noticed underneath the increasingly vexatious thumps.
One of Slank's biggest songs — and that's saying a lot considering the number of hits the band has churned out — is "Balikkin," a track whose melodies became ingrained in the minds of many Indonesians in the late '90s. Unfortunately, instead of standing out from the rest, the track's remix suffers under sludgy beats that hardly encapsulate the folksy track's simplicity.
DJ Lotus Nadeak's version of "Virus" at least takes that monotone and turns it into a semi-hypnotic rave track that unwinds in a less mundane manner. Stripping most of the song away and focusing on the track's signature slide guitar, the remix's minimalist approach is to its benefit, and is the classiest of the bunch, though that's not saying much.
Slank's "Party" is an album produced to move units and nothing more. But even the most committed Slanker would find digging through the pile of slapped-together tracks a far lesser experience than simply putting on an old Slank cassette.
In this era of mass appeal, trashy commercial music, the bland clanks of "Party" could have sold millions. But alas Slank will have to settle for mere hundreds of thousands.

COWLEECH FORK OF THE SABINE RIVER. The Cowleech Fork of the Sabine River rises two miles northwest of Celeste in northwestern Hunt County (at 33°19' N, 96°13' W) and runs southeast for about forty miles, passing Celeste and crossing U.S. Highway 69, then running between the two municipal reservoirs just east of Greenville before reaching its mouth on the Pawnee Inlet of Lake Tawakoni, about three miles west of Lone Oak (at 33°00' N, 96°01' W). Its tributaries include Hickory and Wolf creeks. The Cowleech Fork, which is intermittent in its upper reaches, traverses generally flat land surfaced with clay loams and clayey sand loams that support grasses and water-tolerant hardwoods. For most of the county's history, the Cowleech Fork area has been used as crop and range land.

the clever object reading group 2007-8
Academic year 2007-08
facture and theory building
Thursday 29 May, 10.00 - 12.00, Research Forum South Room
Texts: Joseph Koerner, "Factura," Res 36 (1999): 5-19; Michael Baxandall, "Material" and "Period Eye," in The Limewood Sculptors of Renaissance Germany (London: Yale University Press, 1980), 27-48; 143-163.
Present: Matthew Hunter, Francesco Lucchini, Joanna Woodall, Caroline Arscott, Liz Reissner.
After reading over the synopsis of the previous meeting, we began our discussion of Joseph Koerner's "Factura" and two chapters from Michael Baxandall's Limewood Sculptors. FL explained his choice of these two pieces as proximate to his won interest in the question of how to make theory out of facture—to make meaning out of making—while also observing that he thought the Baxandall was much more successful than the Koerner. This launched a discussion of what Koerner really means by factura. JW suggested that it was close to Latour's notion of mediation. Others noted how he seems to sketch, if not really articulate, how accounts of facture might move beyond the connoisseurial and ultimately nostalgic lure of proximity to the artist's body. It was generally agreed that working from the data of making was important but insufficient to art historical interpretation broadly speaking. MH asked if the kind of contextual framework offered by Baxandall in his appeal to the kinds of mercantile skills first introduced in Painting and Experience really constituted a convincing matrix with which to forge factura into larger interpretation. While FL said that it was precisely this point (i.e. "The Period Eye") that felt most Baroque or overwrought to him, CA suggested that we see this book as actually loosening its grip. What we see here, she urged, was Baxandall emphasizing the disjunction between the complex sculptures he's analyzing and the grids or formulae set out in Painting and Experience. This led back to the question of the examples used by Koerner in his text: are they deeply generative of their theory as they seem to be in Baxandall? Or are they merely emblematic of perhaps entirely independent ideas? MH proposed an account of the metaphorics of factura in the two texts; while, as thematized around his reading of factura as "noise," Koerner's text might be seen in relation to the metaphors of the playing of a vinyl record where the pressure between image and materiality or object and beholder creates the frictional action of factura whereas in Baxandall what's interesting in factura emerges through metaphors of wood and cellular growth—from the inside out. CA offered a very compelling reading of Koerner's work—and this piece specifically, with its focus on the Ghent altarpiece—that stressed the importance of the tension between the heavenly and the embodied, fallen experience of beholding. So CA claimed, Koerner's argument is that what is interesting about painting ca. 1400-1850 is the tension or conflict between the ambition to illusion and the intractable fact of embodied vision. Factura for Koerner is a relation to the body, which changes from the premodernity of Van Eyck to the modernity of Menzel (his two key examples in this text). The strapped binocular case depicted by Menzel then became key to our discussion. Is it a fetish? Or does this whip-like arabesque and the receptacle to which it is connected signal a new kind of relation of thing to the modern body—insofar as (a la Jonathan Crary) it is a technology of vision that brings the spectator out of their internalized, camera-obscura regime of visuality and into a distanced, fragmented model of modernist embodiment? The debt of this claim to Heidegger was considered; is Koerner trying to negate Heidegger's model of the thing while celebrating things in a very Heideggerian way? JW proposed that we see a shift in factura from Van Eyck to Menzel as a movement from object to viewer. This led to a discussion of factura as manifested in painters like Titian and Cezanne with LR raising the question of exactly what differentiated the marks of making in the two painters. Recalling Koerner's discussion of Rembrandt's late canvasses and their proximity to shit along with Philip Sohm's reading of Titian's "stains," MH suggested that whereas premodern facture—with its implication of the body—always risked becoming abject, the modernist discourse of faktura positioned it as an instance of liberation, transcendence. CA revised this, saying it was less that modernist facture was transcendent than that it was purely material because somehow detached from the fragmented modernist body. However, it was collectively agreed that such arguments might or might not be entirely convincing when confronted with a Jackson Pollock. We concluded the session by trying to reconcile what we had learned about factura with the earlier discussions of technology, traps, and enchantment. Could it be said that a clever object discloses some but not all of its making? Or, that it shows itself in a way that reveals its dazzling intelligence to the viewer while nonetheless continuing to trap or overwhelm the beholder—to work as an agent—rather than allowing the viewer to escape and see it as mere despicable trickery (i.e. the BL trompe l'oeil)?

Two recent studies report new evidence of the harms of a very old pesticide.
It's that pesky, persistent and infamous chemical, DDT. Nearly 40 years after its use in agriculture was banned in many countries around the world, it's still present in our environment, food and bodies at levels that harm human health. And children, once again, are especially vulnerable.
When I worked in Kenya many years ago, I visited a small farm where they processed chrysanthemums for use as a natural pest killer. I vividly remember the powerful, not unpleasant smell rising from the mesh shelves where the flowers were drying in the sun.
You'd think a pesticide based on flowers would be harmless, right? The promoters of synthetic pyrethroids — which mimic the natural pyrethrum extracted from chrysanthemums — certainly want us to think so. But once again, the latest batch of "safer" pesticides are not as harmless as we thought, and pose particular risks to children. Unfortunately, EPA seems to be turning a blind eye to emerging evidence, and is poised to open the floodgates to more pyrethroid products and uses.
When my daughter was in kindergarten, she would inspect her friends' strawberries at lunchtime. "No no, you don't want to eat that," she would solemnly inform them. "It's not organic. It might have yucky chemicals on it."
Yucky chemicals indeed. Studies continue to pile up showing how pesticides on food can be harmful, especially to children's health. As we head into the home stretch of the holiday feast season, I've been thinking hard about the powerful ripple effects of our food choices. Turns out, what we eat matters. A lot.
At an all-day seminar last week, I listened to university researchers discuss this startling question: Are we poisoning our children?
Quite a provocative topic — some might even say alarmist. Yet scientist after scientist got up to the podium and presented hard data linking pesticides and other chemicals to learning disabilities, asthma, early puberty, childhood cancer and more.
As of this week, it looks like our rivers, streams and lakes — and the critters who live in them — will be a little more protected from pesticides.
Unless, that is, Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS) and others representing agribusiness interests manage to undo EPA's court-ordered efforts to better protect the nation's waterways from pesticide pollution. Roberts and company are pursuing every legislative hat trick in the book. But so far, cleaner water and healthier fish are coming out ahead.

CUSA Preseason Coaches Poll
Preseason All-CUSA Team
If the computer (about the computer) forecast holds true, UCF and Tulsa will meet for the CUSA championship for the second consecutive season, and the third time in the last four years.
The title game is staged on the home field of the school with best conference winning percentage, making it the only conference championship game that isn't played at a pre-determined neutral site.
In 2005, Tulsa entertained UCF and won the championship game 44-27. The Golden Knights hosted the event last year in Orlando and defeated the Golden Hurricane 44-25. The computer says the two schools will head back to Tulsa at the end of this season where home field advantage will help the Golden Hurricane to a 2.78-point edge.
For the rematch to happen, UCF has to get off of the roller coaster ride it has been on for the past four seasons.
In 2004, the Golden Knights suffered through an 0-11 campaign in George O'Leary's first season as head coach. O'Leary's second campaign was much different as an 8-win improvement put his squad in the conference championship. But in 2006, UCF slid backwards to a 4-8 finish with losses in 5-of-7 games down the stretch. Vast improvement was expected last year, but no one foresaw the dramatic upswing to a 9-3 regular season that precipitated the CUSA crown. Alas, the glass slipper broke at the Liberty Bowl where two Cinderellas faced-off and Mississippi State (which improved from 3-9 in 2006 to 8-5 last season) prevailed 10-3.
Meanwhile, Tulsa has enjoyed three consecutive solid seasons with records of 9-4 in 2005 (conference champs), 8-5 in 2006 (3rd place, CUSA West), and 10-4 last season. Tulsa managed that consistency despite losing head coach Steve Kragthorpe to Louisville after the '06 campaign. When Kragthorpe departed, the Golden Hurricane lured Todd Graham away from Rice. Graham was Kragthorpe's defensive coordinator for three years at Tulsa before landing his first head coaching job with the Owls in 2006 where he converted the perennial losers to a 7-6 season and their first bowl bid in 45 years in his only season at the helm.
The Golden Hurricane capped last year's campaign with a 63-7 crushing of Bowling Green at the GMAC Bowl.
In the bowl romp, Tulsa QB Paul Smith set an NCAA record with his 14th consecutive 300-yard passing game and the Golden Hurricane also became the first team in NCAA history to have a 5,000-yard passer (Smith) and four other 1,000-yard gainers in the same season. The nation's leading offense had three 1,000-yard receivers (Brennan Marion, Trae Johnson and Charles Clay) and a 1,000-yard rusher (Tarrion Adams). All return except for the quarterback.
Another Smith - Kevin - was the star at UCF. The Golden Knights' running back challenged the NCAA single-season rushing record of 2,628 yards set by Barry Sanders at Oklahoma State in 1988. Smith came up just 61 yards short after being limited to 119 yards in the bowl loss to the Bulldogs.
UCF's Smith was the 64th player taken in the NFL draft (Detroit Lions), while Tulsa's Smith was signed as a free agent (Jacksonville Jaguars).
Replacing their respective Smith's won't be easy for Tulsa or UCF, but the computer indicates that each division only appears to have one team capable of challenging its defending division champ.
Central Florida's toughest challenge in the East division should be mounted by East Carolina. The Pirates actually enter the year with a higher power rating than UCF, but must travel to Orlando where home field gives the Golden Knights the projected victory in a division tie-breaker by a scant 1.04 points.
Marshall, Memphis and Southern Miss all trail UCF and Tulsa by at least 10 power points. The Herd, Tigers and Golden Eagles should stage a fierce battle for 3rd, 4th and 5th as no more than 2.25 power points separate those three teams.
In the West division, Houston is the only team within 12 points of Tulsa. The Cougars trail the Golden Hurricane by just over 5 points. Rice, Tulane and UTEP are at least 6-1/2 points behind Houston. The Owls, Green Wave and Miners will compete for 3rd through 5th-place division finishes with only 2.63 power points coming between them.
Houston's influence in the conference race will be impacted by new head coach Kevin Sumlin who served as co-offensive coordinator, passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach under Bob Stoops at Oklahoma from 2003-2007.
Southern Miss also has a new head coach in Larry Fedora. The Oklahoma State offensive coordinator replaces Jeff Bower who stepped down November 26 after guiding the Golden Eagles to their 14th consecutive winning season and 10th bowl invitation in the past 11 campaigns. Bower spent 29 years at the Hattiesburg, Mississippi school as a player, assistant coach and head coach. He was 119-83-1 after coaching Southern Miss to a 31-21 loss to Cincinnati at the Papajohns.com Bowl on Dec. 22 in Birmingham.
Fedora's first team is projected to finish 7-5 (5-3 in CUSA) which is exactly the same record that Bower produced last year.
CUSA's other new head coach is the one that everyone will be watching.
June Jones comes to SMU after surprisingly leaving Hawaii. Last season, his Warriors were the only team in the FBS to go undefeated in the regular season. Their only loss came to Georgia, 41-10, in the Sugar Bowl to cap a 12-1 campaign.
Jones' predecessor at SMU, Phil Bennett, was just 18-52 in six seasons. The Mustangs have not been to a postseason game since defeating Notre Dame 27-20 in the 1984 Aloha Bowl. SMU was given the "death penalty" by the NCAA for numerous violations and was shut down completely for two seasons from 1987-1988. The program restarted in 1989 but has enjoyed just two non-losing seasons since then, including a 6-6 campaign under Bennett in 2006. The Mustangs went 6-5 in 1996.
Jones' impact at Hawaii was monumental. After the Warriors suffered their first-ever winless season in 1998 with an 0-12 campaign, the passing offense mastermind guided the team to a 9-4 record in his first year. It was the biggest one-year turnaround in NCAA history.
The computer doesn't expect Jones to replicate similar immediate results at SMU. It has the Mustangs going 1-11 in 2008 with the only forecasted win coming in week two over FCS member Texas State. However, no one should be totally shocked if SMU moves to the middle of the pack.
No team in CUSA finished the 2007 season with the exact record predicted by the computer, but four teams came within 1 victory and three others missed by just 2 wins. Last year's forecast had Southern Miss and Houston playing for the title with the Cougars claiming the crown. Houston managed to tie Tulsa for the West division lead, but lost the tie-breaker with the 56-7 pounding it took when it visited the Golden Hurricane on November 10. Southern Miss finished 2 games out of the lead in the East division but was in the hunt until late October.
The computer excelled in forecasting games that involved CUSA East teams with a season record of 60-12 (.833) straight up, and 39-29 (.574) against the spread. The computer's 2007 GameDay predictions went 12-0 with UAB, 12-2 with UCF, 11-2 with Houston, and 10-2 with Marshall. It also went 10-3 with Memphis and Southern Miss.

Gear Review
B Joystick
This board is legit. Compared to other rocker boards, the Joystick is stocked with tech features- putting this board at the high end of the rocker board spectrum. The edge hold is super impressive (frost bite edges at work??) at all speeds...on and off groomers. One thing to be aware of, is how stiff this board is. I was expecting a mid-stiff board (this was my powder quiver)...but it feels super stiff to me. Not necessarily a good or bad thing, just something to note.

From the Turkish movie "Kareteci Kız 1973" (Karate Girl) directed by Michael Bay.
Okay, not really directed by Michael Bay. It was a joke because he is horrible, but not the good kind of horrible like in this death scene. No offense, real director Orhan Aksoy. I'm sorry for comparing you to Michael Bay.

You guys might notice some changes to the site. We've entered into an ad network that several comics, including the amazing Sister Claire, is a part of. This might come as a relief to some, as there has been some grumbling over the Project Wonderful ads. We might integrate a small Project Wonderful slot back into the site, but for now, this is what you'll get. We're hoping this will get us a boost in readership and a little more money to work with.
We've made a few other tweaks, including taking down some things that were not being used, and I combined the blogs beneath the comic into a single blog. Isa will be designing a new banner in the near future. If there's anything you would like to see added to the site, now is a good time to toss in your two cents.

Andrew Vassell
I aim to pleasure you with
each kiss and leave you
the memories of my licks.
I'll aim to please you slowly
and surely I'll tease you
physically. With the motions
from my hip I'll tickle the
senses of your brain, move
the blood throughout your
vain and make this moment
feel insane.
Pleasure you, I'll make you
breathe breathlessly and
after you'll sleep immensely.
To see the look in your eyes
as my mysterious fingers
wonder over the details of
your skin, hoping to excite
the romance of your
imagination and if the magic
of my pleasure pleases and
leaves you renewed then the
mission in me will be complete.

Many people know how to get rid of dandruff using harsh chemicals that can be irritating but few know how to get rid of dandruff naturally. Getting information is an important step in the process and the Dandruff Overview at Web MD offers detailed information about the condition.
The scalp problem appears as white flakes that are present on the scalp. In addition, itchiness is a major symptom of the condition. While the trademark white flakes and itching are easily recognized as dandruff, the actual source of the problem may be surprising to some.
Dandruss is caused by malassezia, a fungus that is similar to yeast. Some refer to the yeast-like fungus as pityrosporum. The fungus is usually present on the scalp and it typically causes no problems. However, sometimes it can grow out of control under certain conditions. Possible causes that trigger excess growth include:
• Stress
• Hormone imbalance
• Illness
• Weakened immune system
• Increased production of oil on the scalp
• Shampooing infrequently
The overgrowth of malassezia fungus leads to inflammation that is mild but causes dead skin cells to form. The dead skin cells collect with oil on the scalp, creating white clumps that are readily recognized as dandruff flakes. Knowing that the source of the problem is a fungus that causes inflammation makes choosing natural remedies for dandruff much easier.
Different ways to get rid of dandruff include simple changes in habit as well as internal and external treatments. Choosing a shampoo that contains anti-dandruff ingredients can significantly lessen the symptoms of the condition. When this approach irritates the scalp or if it falls short of expectations, other approaches can help.
• Tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic that also has antifungal properties. Using shampoos that contain tee tree oil has been shown to reduce the presence of dandruff on the scalp for many people. Not enough clinical studies have been conducted to make an absolute conclusion about the effectiveness of tea tree oil for dandruff though many swear by this natural remedy for dandruff.
• Apple cider vinegar is an old home remedy for dandruff that many people love. Mix equal parts apple cider vinegar and water and apply to the scalp, allowing it to set for about 15 minutes. Rinse, shampoo and condition as usual.
Biotin is unique as a natural remedy for dandruff because it is taken internally. The element is a B vitamin that is water-soluble. Ingesting this vitamin can help break down proteins, fats and carbohydrates, allowing for healing to occur. Biotin is found in some foods:
• Barley
• Brewer's yeast
• Eggs
• Liver
• Milk
• Royal jelly
• Soy
Adding these foods to a balanced diet along with the topical treatment of your choice can be effective in treating dandruff naturally. In some cases, it may be necessary to discuss the condition with a physician, especially if the dandruff does not go away or if it worsens.
i have dandraf and because of that my hair looks frizzy and i am having skin problem pimples are devoloping on my skin someone plz suggest me wat 2 do plzzzzzzzzzzz
Natural dandruff treatments sometimes take a little bit longer to be effective, but once they do, they remain effective. The important thing about natural remedies is that they tend to be holistic, and that means they have permanent, whole-body effects.

Professionals from around the world give talks to groups of people (they must be less than 20 minutes long), and TED records a video of the talk and puts it online. The idea is that great ideas spread around the world and everyone has access to incredible inspiration.
