By Matt Zoller Seitz
NEW YORK -- Actor John Ventimiglia is best known for his work on "The Sopranos," where he plays restaurateur Artie Bucco. The character is a kind-hearted working man on a show full of violent misfits – a regular Joe who's proud of his own labor, yet tempted by the dark allure of mob life, represented by childhood pal Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini).
If you only associate Ventimiglia with Artie, his star turn in the low-budget independent picture "On the Run" might come as a bit of a shock. The film, which opened yesterday in a limited run in Manhattan, is a droll urban comedy that pairs him with longtime friend Michael Imperioli, who plays volatile young mobster Chris Moltisanti on "The Sopranos."
In typecasting terms, they're playing each other's roles. Imperioli is playing the law-abiding, responsible one, meek travel agent Albert De Santis. Ventimiglia takes the showier role as Albert's childhood buddy Louie Salazar, a sexy, dangerous charmer who re-enters Albert's life after busting out of prison.
As Louie, Ventimiglia, who is not a large man, somehow seems enormous – a charismatic, Jack Nicholson-style alpha male who has a good time at everyone else's expense.
"I'm a big fan of '70s films," said Ventimiglia, talking to a reporter over sandwiches and olives at his favorite Italian deli in Brooklyn, where he lives with his wife and two young children. "This is that kind of movie, with that kind of roles – something like you'd get from Jack Nicholson or Al Pacino or Gene Hackman back then."
Ventimiglia isn't banking on this one role to prove his versatility as a leading man, but he thinks it's a step in the right direction. But since he plays a recurring role on a hit show, it'll be an uphill battle.
In the middle of the interview, a stranger walks into the deli, ducks around the seated Ventimiglia to get a Coke from the refrigerator, and delightedly exclaims, "Hey, Artie! How's the restaurant business?"
"It's doing fine, man, just fine," says Ventimiglia, smiling.
The multi-talented Ventimiglia is also a painter and a singer-songwriter (formerly with the defunct '80s guitar rock band Zuzu's Petals). He was born in Brooklyn and grew up in Teaneck.
"On the Run" has personal as well as professional significance for him. The film marks the first time he's shared top billing with Imperioli, with whom he's been acting for 14 years, ever since they were in classes together at the Lee Strasberg Institute in Manhattan.
They've done a lot of work together – everything from "The Sopranos" to the independent films "Handgun" and "Trees Lounge." In the late '80s, they roomed together in Manhattan and discovered the films of their mutual hero John Cassavetes ("Shadows," "Faces") around the same time at a film series. The actor-director's realistic, improvisational style influenced both of them greatly.
"On the Run" is very much in the Cassavetes mode – small-scale, rough-edged, alternately amusing and sad. It's also influenced by the Alan Arkin-Peter Falk comedy "The In-Laws" and the 1962 Italian film "Il Sorpasso."
Ventimiglia persuaded Imperioli to do the movie with first-time director/co-writer Bruno de Almeida after Imperioli had already turned the project down once.
"I said, 'Michael, I want to do this movie, but I'm only gonna do it if I can do it with you.' Fortunately, he said yes."
Imperioli says it wasn't a hard decision.
"We've been looking for something to do together for a long time. I love working with John because we know each other so well, there's kind of a shorthand. If I go out on a limb with him, doing improv, I know I can throw the ball to him and he'll throw it back."
Whatever the critical response to "On the Run," Ventimiglia says he's not quitting his day job. He loves playing Artie Bucco – particularly in scenes with Gandolfini, whom he respects and admires.
"I was very happy to see him get that role," he says. "It was a triumph for all us bald guys."
Though supporting characters tend to have high mortality rates on "The Sopranos," he says he isn't worried about Artie.
"I think Tony feels a little bit protective towards the guy. They go way back. Artie's the guy who can tell Tony the truth. I tend to think that when they were little, if Tony said something that made Artie mad on the playground, Artie might have taken a swing at him. ... I think Artie's dad might have had a similar relationship with Tony's dad."
He's still delighted that "Sopranos" creator David Chase handed him such a meaty role, rather than going with somebody better known.
"The whole idea for David has always been to cast actors who are good but not well-known, or who are not known for doing what he wants them to do on the show. That creates kind of a surprise factor."
Ventimiglia wishes more filmmakers and TV producers adhered to Chase's casting strategy.
"I get offered a lot of wiseguy roles, which is predictable considering I'm on 'The Sopranos' and I'm Italian. I turn almost all of them down because they're badly written and stereotypical. They're not real people. . . . There's no thought about story. You're the bookie who has to get his money within 24 hours or the head guy is gonna kill him, and the head guy is played by one of the same 20 actors who always play the head guy.
"As an actor, you want to constantly re-invent yourself. It's tempting to always take the same types of roles, and the business is set up in a way that encourages you to take the same types of roles. If that's not what you want to do, you have to turn things down."
The role he'd most like to do is the type of role that doesn't come along anymore: the lead in an old-fashioned Hollywood musical.
"I love old musicals. I love Fred Astaire. I'd love to have somebody say, 'Okay, we're gonna have a choreographer work with you for three months, and then you're gonna play a tap dancer. That would be a hell of a lot of fun."

text: If you love pure, simple, catchy pop then Carly Rae Jepsen is your girl. Forget spectacle, pretentious lyrics and euro-dance infiltration, Carly's "Call Me Maybe" is pop the way pop should be, full of infectious hooks, adorably tongue-in-cheek video and the most innocuous of all subject matter — a crush! Carly came third in Canadian Idol back in 2007 and last month Justin Bieber announced that she was signed with his manager, Scooter Braun's label, Schoolboy Records. Even without the Bieb connection, we think Carly is the most loveable thing to happen to music so far this year, and if she keeps turning out little ditties like "Call Me Maybe," we're facing a brand new addition for summer. And we're not the only ones who have caught the bug — "Call Me Maybe" is number 10 on the iTunes charts, and Bieber and his buddies including Selena Gomez and Ashley Tisdale have recorded a fun video of themselves dancing around to Carly's track, which will definitely make you smile.

Pomona College Names Three to Board of Trustees
Pomona College, one of the nation's premier liberal arts colleges, has elected three new members to its Board of Trustees in 2006.

Most recently he was a co-founder of Codaware, Inc. He is also a former director of the Marshall Steel. Jr. Foundation. Both he and his wife, Lauri Montague Steel, are members of the Pomona Class of 1967. An economics major, he was senior class treasurer, treasurer of Alpha Gamma Nu fraternity, and served on the Interfraternity Council. He later earned an MBA from Stanford.
Eileen Wilson-Oyelaran became president of Kalamazoo College in July 2005, after serving in teaching and administrative positions at Salem Academy and College in Winston-Salem, N.C.

What typically triggers Anxiety in you at each of the seven stages:
- Stage One―Fears concerning such things as abandonment, physical or mental disability and extreme poverty … Being, living, and/or dying alone where you would be or even merely feel unable to survive or change a dreaded fate.
- Stage Two―The prospect of being caught, punished, or exposed for your deliberate antisocial activities … Losing your freedom or cover … Twos often have a built-in immunity to anxiety. Thus, it can take a lot for some Twos to feel any anxiety at all.
- Stage Three―Leaving your comfort zone, especially when "the rules" aren't clear … The possibility of being damned, punished, or even killed for doing or perhaps even thinking something different than whatever would be acceptable to a feared authority (real or imagined) … "Shades of gray."
- Stage Four―Being (or the prospect of being) rejected, embarrassed or seen as inadequate, "a failure" or of lesser worth by someone (or many, e.g., your peer group or even a segment of the public) whose validation is important to you … Worries about losing a love relationship through some form of rejection, are very characteristic of this stage..
- Stage Five―Becoming unglued as your roles expand; or worry that circumstances will overwhelm or render you unable to fulfill your roles … The awareness of any form of self-sabotage, where you somehow (usually by virtue of your lower-stage hooks) defeat your own purpose or inadvertently get into your own way.
- Stage Six―The prospect of failure (or being unable) to pursue or receive satisfaction from something you passionately enjoy.
- Stage Seven―When worried about or feeling powerless to combat forces that oppose you when trying to make the necessary contribution that the mission or calling to which you are committed requires … The prospect of not bringing your mission, calling, or contribution to fruition.

GREENVILLE — Jose Rosario hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the fifth inning, the first of two homers on the night, and Dante Bichette Jr. added a two-run blast as the Charleston RiverDogs defeated the Greenville Drive, 9-6, in South Atlantic League baseball Monday.
With the game tied at 2 in the top of the fifth inning with two runners on and two outs, Drive starter Justin Haley (7-10) was one strike away from escaping trouble. He threw one pitch that just missed the outside corner, and the next strike he threw was promptly clobbered to left field by Rosario to give the RiverDogs (33-31 second half, 72-60 overall) a 5-2 advantage.
The Drive (26-35, 48-82) scored a pair of runs in the fifth to cut the lead to 5-4, but Charleston rudely greeted reliever Gerardo Olivares with three runs in the top of the sixth. After a leadoff single from Ericson Leonora, Bichette drove a two-run homer to right-center. Jackson Valera smacked a double to center, and two batters later, a bloop single to left by Daniel Aldrich scored another run and made the score 8-4.
Greenville scored a pair of runs in the bottom of the inning but could get no closer.
RiverDogs reliever Kelvin Castro (1-0) picked up the win with 21/3 innings, and John Brebbia fired two scoreless innings to record his first save of the year.
Rosario added an insurance run in the seventh with his second homer of the game, a solo shot against Olivares.
The RiverDogs scratched across a run in the first against Haley, as Jake Cave doubled to begin the game, moved to third on a sacrifice bunt and came in on a passed ball. The Drive came back with a run in the bottom of the first, as they recorded three consecutive hits against starter Daniel Camarena.
The Drive took a 2-1 lead in the second before the RiverDogs tied it up at 2 in the fourth on a double-play groundout.
Rosario finished 3 for 4 with two homers and four RBIs. Aldrich, Fu-Lin Kuo and Leonora all added two hits, while Bichette drove in a pair with his homer.
The divisional rivals will meet again at Fluor Field at 7:05 p.m. Tuesday. Left-hander Eric Wooten (1-2, 1.74 ERA) will start for Charleston against fellow lefty Francisco Taveras (2-4, 6.61).

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9, 2006 The Air Force major missing in Kyrgyzstan since Sept. 5 was found alive, officials with U.S. Central Command Air Forces Forward, in Southwest Asia, announced yesterday evening.
Police in the Kyrgyzstani capital of Bishkek notified US Embassy and military officials at 1:15 a.m. that Maj. Jill Metzger had been found.
Metzger, personnel chief for the 376th Air Expeditionary Wing at Manas Air Base, went missing Sept. 5 while shopping in Bishkek with other U.S. military personnel.
U.S. Embassy officials and Kyrgyzstani government officials said she had been kidnapped.
"Her condition will be determined by a team of medical professionals," Air Force officials said in a written statement. "The investigation concerning her disappearance is ongoing."
Air Force Col Scott Reese, the 376th's wing commander, praised the cooperation between the base and local civil and police authorities during the investigation. "We are elated to have Jill back with us. I want to praise the Kyrgyzstan government, Bishkek law enforcement officials and the cooperation of the U.S. Embassy team for the rapid and thorough investigation resulting in the successful recovery of Major Metzger."
Air Force Lt. Gen. Gary North, commander of Central Command Air Forces, was visiting Manas Air Base when Metzger was recovered. He also praised cooperation between local and base officials. "The cooperation with our USAF military investigative team was outstanding," he said. "Her recovery is fantastic news for her family and our military community."

I am so glad to have so many of my erotic romance reading friends and colleagues in town this month for RWA and Ravenous Nights. Unfortunately, our reading series will be happening at the exact same time as the banquet ceremony, which I do love, but since I am the purveyor of this reading series, I'll be at Happy Endings listening to four fabulous authors read their happy endings!
I believe this is good news for many of my romance reading peers, as some couldn't afford to attend RWA (and are just hanging out for the parties and camaraderie). So, if you're in town and not attending the banquet, come on down to 302 Broome Street at 8:00 and hear some steamy smut.
This month we are featuring Louis Bacio, author of THE VAMPIRE, THE WITCH AND THE WEREWOLF menage series, as well as our SEX ACADEMY series. We'll be raffling off FREE copies of her books.
Daisy Harris will be reading from her zombie novel in progress, although she has a hot novel from RR too, MERCURY RISING.
Also joining us are Gwen Masters, a well-known erotic romance author (http://gwenmasters.blogspot.com/) and Kathy Kulig, author of THE EMERALD DUNGEON (just love those shoes on her cover!!!!) http://www.kathykulig.com/.
So join us, have a drink (I strongly recommend The Hot Mess) and hang out to celebrate erotic romance in New York.

Alonso is real ace for Benitez
RAFA BENITEZ has told Xabi Alonso his future is at Anfield in an attempt to head off interest from Real Madrid.
He has been playing well in a lot of games and is a key player for us
The Liverpool midfielder was close to leaving last summer with Benitez ready to sacrifice the Spain midfielder to raise the funds to sign Gareth Barry.
Juventus and Arsenal both registered their interest in Alonso, 27, but would not meet the £16m asking price.
He has responded by excelling this season and Benitez admitted he is now counting on him to be a key part of the club's development.
Madrid have been linked with a summer move for a player they have regularly coveted, but Benitez hopes Alonso will want to stay on Merseyside five years after signing from Real Sociedad.
He said: "His first year was really good and this year he is also playing really well.
"You know that we had an offer from Juventus.
"They couldn't give us the price we wanted so that was it.
"In the end, Xabi has been having a very good season.
"He has been playing well in a lot of games and is a key player for us.
"We have a lot of confidence in him and he is a player we want to keep because he has the quality, and the game, that we need."
Benitez also insisted Fernando Torres has improved since last season when he grabbed 33 goals.
Torres, 25, has hit 14 this time round and the Kop chief added: "I think he is better than last year.
"He is learning and getting more experience.
"Also, he is keen to learn."

Why is it that PI & ArGl healing wave both grant power and attack dmg/amor,
while Superman's super strength only grants attack dmg, NM Supes' teleport only grants power dmg and Sinestro's PA only reduces power armor ?
Yes, those are the values that benefit the champions, that bring these powers to the game, but still, not regarding the actual usefulness of those effects, it seems odd that only certain champions can benefit from them.
(While we are at it, one could argue having GL meteor and HQ detonate scale with AD, too)
Additionally can someone please explain why Superman's super strength bonus AD lasts for 90 secs while NM Supes' teleport bonus PD lasts only for 5 ?

Mahapurana (Jainism)
|Part of a series on
Jain Prayers
Major Sects
|Jainism portal
Mahapurana (महापुराण) is a major Jain text [1] composed largely by Acharya Jinasena during the rule of Rashtrakuta ruler Amoghavarsha and completed by his pupil Gunabhadra in the 9th century CE. Mahapurana consists of two parts. The first part is Adi-Puran written by Acharya Jinasena. The second part is Uttarpurana which is the section composed by Gunabhadra. Adipuran contains about 37 chapters where as Uttarpurana contains about 65 chapters.[2] The completed and edited text was released by Lokasena, pupil of Gunabhadra in a celebration at Bankapura in the court of Vira-Bankeyarasa in 898 CE. The first 42 Parvans of this text were written by Jinasena, while remaining 34 Parvans were composed by Gunabhara.
This text gives an encyclopedic account of the Jain tradition.[3] The text is widely quoted. A widely used quote from Carl Sagan's Cosmos, page 140 is:[4]
"Some foolish men declare that Creator made the world. The doctrine that the world was created is ill-advised, and should be rejected. If god created the world, where was he before creation? If you say he was transcendent then, and needed no support, where is he now?",[5][6]
A number of Jain and non-Jain texts have been influenced by the Mahapurana. Mahapurana was the model for Saiva Siddhanta Periyapuranam which gives biographies of the 63 individuals.[7]

Amazon has faced numerous consequences of that decision, including being hunted down with a lawsuit. In an attempt to make amends, the company has apologized to users. For the affected, Amazon is offering to either replace the deleted digital books with a hard copy, or compensate in the way of a gift certificate or refund. The "buy back" is an opt-in scenario, requiring affected customers to contact Amazon and request reimbursement.
This is a clear-cut example of how companies can use DRM against the consumer. In this instance, the people who purchased books ultimately had no authority over what happened to the content. If you buy a physical copy of a book, it is yours indefinitely -- buy the same book in a digital format and someone up the chain from you could effectively deprive you of access.
Without certain protections in place, DRM systems are prone to abuse -- and it's easy to see why Amazon is taking so much criticism in this particular case. While it is good that Amazon is doing the right thing by offering compensation, you can't really give them kudos for this one. The problem originated several months ago, and they acted without permission or notification to their customers.

otus Vermeer downshifts into first,
After seven years navigating the island's accordion-fold topography as director of the Conservancy's work on Santa Cruz, Vermeer has earned solid four-wheel-drive credentials. But her petite frame means she often has to lean out the side of the doorless truck to see the road in front of the hood.
It's during one of these maneuvers that she spots a speckled gray-and-orange ball of fur lounging in the road. She slams on the brakes. With its short snout, squat legs and feather-duster tail, the endangered Santa Cruz Island fox looks more like a plush toy than a svelte carnivore. The fox, which is half the size of a house cat and a quarter the size of its mainland canine relatives, gazes at the truck a moment before loping off into a stand of sagebrush.
"You just saw the top predator on the island," Vermeer says with a grin. "Pretty ferocious."
In truth, the island fox spends as much time chomping on the berries from the island's manzanita trees as it does stalking field mice and endemic island fence lizards. What's remarkable about seeing one on a road in a remote part of the island is that such sightings have become typical. By the end of the day Vermeer and her crew have spotted four of the diminutive foxes, one dashing under a lemonade berry bush, others lazing back on their haunches in the rosy sunlight.
In 2004, when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service first listed the fox as an endangered species, fewer than 100 remained. Their evolutionary story likely began when a pair of errant gray foxes somehow rafted across the 20-mile ocean channel from the California mainland around 15,000 years ago. They coexisted with the Chumash Indians and the island's last remaining pygmy mammoths, whose fossils are still lodged in the soils.
Only in the past 150 years did the ecological insults begin to pile up. Ranchers brought sheep and pigs, which denuded the island of much of its native vegetation. By the 1960s, a legacy of DDT disposal in the waters south of Los Angeles wiped out resident bald eagles. The DDT accumulated in the tissues of the fish and carrion the eagles fed on, weakening their eggshells so that the eggs were easily crushed. With the territorial bald eagles out of the way, golden eagles moved into the island's cliffside perches in the 1990s, lured by a steady diet of feral pigs.
The foxes, unaccustomed to aerial threats, quickly became a favorite target for the golden eagles. If immediate action was not taken, biologists expected the fox would be extinct in a matter of years.
Vermeer's introduction to Santa Cruz, in Autumn 2003, was a face full of salt spray as one wave and then another crested over her kayak. She had just taken the job to run the Conservancy's program on the island and had joined her new boss for a three-day kayak trip around it. The highlight, when the weather finally calmed, was an excursion into a mile-long sea cave—the world's longest—that ended with the resounding roar of California sea lions deep in the pitch-black cavern.
Vermeer, who grew up on Vancouver Island in Canada, had expected her career path to take her to the calm waters of the eastern Caribbean, where she had studied vervet monkeys, sea turtles and sea grasses for her Ph.D. in biology. Instead, she found herself in rough waters—in more ways than one.
The island's native ecology was crashing. The fox and a dozen other species unique to Santa Cruz and its neighboring islands were on the verge of extinction.
The decision was made to round up 10 pairs of the remaining foxes for a captive breeding program. The Conservancy and the National Park Service, which owns the eastern quarter of the island, began a multimillion-dollar effort to restore ecological balance. The plan was to capture and relocate the golden eagles, re-establish bald eagles and set them free on the island, and eradicate the non-native feral pigs, which had nearly devoured the island's rare and endangered native plants.
Success was never a foregone conclusion. Conservationists and land managers faced not only the logistical challenges of working on an undeveloped island, but also local conflict over parts of their plan. Because the island's feral pigs were potential hosts to cholera and other diseases, they could not be captured and moved to the mainland and would have to be killed in place—a tactic that makes even the most dedicated restoration ecologist cringe. "There's nothing pleasant about having to kill animals," Vermeer says. In 2005, she had to explain to communities, courtroom judges and activists back on the mainland why killing pigs was the only option to bring the island back to life again.
Despite the difficulties, the restoration has moved ahead at a record pace. By 2006, the first bald eagle chick in more than 50 years had hatched on the island. That same year, Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert claimed a captive-born chick released on Santa Cruz as his own son, Stephen Jr., and complained furiously when it departed for Canada.
With the threat of golden eagles diminished, the foxes have bounced back. At last count, Conservancy scientists estimated that more than 1,200 foxes live on the island, and Vermeer is waiting to see whether this year the population returns to its historical size of 1,500. "I never in my wildest dreams thought I would see foxes running across the trails in such a short time," Vermeer says.
And it is not just the animals that are recovering. When Vermeer and her counterpart at the National Park Service, Kate Faulkner, hiked up the chalky slopes of Ragged Peak a couple of years ago, they were stunned by the changes. The peak was notable for having been the nesting spot of the last golden eagle, and it was a moonscape in the 1980s, when sheep still grazed its slopes. Vermeer and Faulkner had been expecting to climb bare rock but were pleased to see that some new pines had crept up the ridge. As they hiked, they could hardly fathom the proliferation of plants. Two Channel Island endemic plants, rosette-shaped succulents called Dudleya and Santa Cruz Island buckwheat, were already dotting the ground. Some of the dry mountain flanks now sported a promising new coat of native grasses. "I never imagined bunchgrass would make me so happy," Vermeer says.
The recovery of vegetation is also helping the island scrub-jay, which is found only on Santa Cruz. Many visitors are surprised to learn that the jay has not expanded its range to other Channel Islands, but Katie Langin, a graduate student from Colorado State University who is studying the birds, says that some evidence shows that even neighboring populations could be genetically distinct.
"They are just terrible fliers," says Langin. The jays mostly hop through the sage brush, feeding on acorns and pine seeds.
Because they stash thousands of acorns, only a fraction of which they later recover, the birds have been a boon to restoration.
Perhaps the only vexing change on Santa Cruz Island is that Lyndal Laughrin has to keep a close eye on his socks. Laughrin is the manager of the University of California's field station, where he has worked since 1965, when he began his doctoral research on the island fox. The mischievous pups are particularly fond of stinky hiking socks, Laughrin says.
"Usually they only take the left one," he says.
Vermeer laughs. "I think they're just messing with us," she says.
Late in the afternoon, Vermeer climbs into a truck and drives down a shady canyon with steep walls and puddles of tea-colored water. As the canyon opens up to a broad, gravelly riverbed, she stops the truck and gets out to point at another plant.
The endemic Santa Cruz Island silver lotus, a delicate plant with fuzzy leaves and yellow flowers, is finally bouncing back.
"The stakes are often very high on islands," says Vermeer. "You are faced with the potential to lose species forever—but you also have the potential to reverse decades of ecological damage."

I love Kate's Joint! I have been living in the East Village for about five years now and it is one of my favorite neighborhood Bars. I first discovered Kate's because they always had great music playing/the best DJ's. I then realized they only served vegetarian bar food. I have been a vegetarian for 19 years and good vegetarian bar food is hard to come by. I quickly became obsessed with their McKate. It is a vegetarian Big Mac and it is so delicious and satisfying when you need that bad for you (But actually not that bad because it is vegetarian) burger. I recently have moved on and become obsessed with their "turkey" club with "fakin." I consider myself to be a french fry connoisseur and at Kate's they do fries right. They are always cooked to perfection and are fresh cut. I suggest the disco fries. So to sum it up if you are looking for great vegetarian bar food or a great East Village hole in the wall bar Kate's Joint is the Joint!

Oh boy, it's hard to get an off soup or salad, but..... the salad leaves were fine, the dressing was not even liquiid, it was like a carrot paste that someone forgot to add the ginger and oil to. the soup was like a sugary sweet onion marmalade. Then the popcorn shrimp, oh my, i actually squeezed the lemon wedge onto these tiny balls, yes, size of a popped corn, breaded tofu, the sauce was so plain and simple mustard and katsup, with a touch of relish, and maybe a touch of miracle whip mayo...i am not feeling so great :0

If a burger could cry, this burger would be hysterical, drooling, and puffy eyed. It was not good. Neither were the mashed potatoes. I think they may have even come from a mix. So, I ordered delivery and was immediately taken aback by the weight of the bag when it was handed to me - it was so light! I love a good veggie burger - having tried Quantam Leap's and the Organic Grill's - both of which are really good, big, substantial burgers - I was totally taken aback when i opened the box and found what was the littlest burger I've ever seen. The patty was maybe... 1/4 of an inch thick? Seriously I'm not exaggerating. I requested onions and there were literally just a handful of small chopped up pieces of onion stuck to the bun, and a single piece of lettuce. I hate to say it but it paled in comparison to even a kids burger at a fast food restaurant. The kicker was that my bill came to $15. Really? Finally, I ordered mashed potatoes as a side and they gave me a mini to-go coffee cup full, half of which was filled with gravy - the menu didn't say gravy was even an option so how would I know to request no gravy? Bleh.

Weekend brunch at Kate's is excellent. My husband ordered the breakfast burrito w/tofu scramble, and I had the vegan french toast, and both were super yummy (when ordering tofu scramble, make sure it is in a burrito or on a bagel; too dry on the side). Service was super prompt, and the atmosphere is low key and Village-relaxed. On par with best vegan brunches in the city.
Posted by L Pic on 02/07/2011
low key atmosphere and good veg food. Nothing here is crazy or creative or elaborate. What you get is filling as hell mac n cheese, tofu steaks and great comfort foods, like nachos and cheese fries. Fast food veganized, how can one not be happy?
Posted by d.e. on 05/15/2010
They pretty much only deliver from 6pm-11pm, this is a small window. They also wont deliver in rain or any other sort of inclement weather. This is annoying. Who manages the place? It is kinda out of control, however the food is amazing, from the garlic fries to the nachos to the wingless buffalo burger, even the "vegan supreme" dish is fantastic. Their pastas, too! And dont get me started on the McKate! Thank goodness they finally got vegan cheese (lactose-free cheese seemed like a waste of their money for many years). Drinks are cheap and especially on weekends...
Posted by McMasterflow on 02/15/2010
At first I was like "veggie place . . . lame" Turns out this bar has sickkk drink specials. You can get a beer (PBR) and a shot (house wiskey or vodka) for only $5.00. If you've never tried tofu wings, like hadn;t till this place, give it a shot. Sause makes it taste a lot like chicken. Good stuff!!

Site maintenance - very frustrating
Again the Resume upload is not working. Probably the key feature when looking for a new position is to post your resume. The "my resume" screens are unpredictable at best, some days they work other days you thrown into an endless loop of screens.
I question the legitimacy of this site
So I signed up with Dice because I'm looking for a new career. It seemed legit. The very next day I received an email that seemed promising. I responded that I was interested in the position and requested more information. I received an email response that asked about 12 questions. A couple of the questions were "What is your full name" and "What is your email ID". Well, 1) my full name is listed on the Dice account they accessed in the first place and 2) they emailed me the questions so they already had my email ID. I wrote back asking if they were serious. I have not heard back. I just received another email about another position. I responded and have not heard back. Dice seems to be a gathering of scammers and suspicious activity. Maybe not everyone on it, but so far it's been a joke. Even the "About Dice.com" article above is ridiculous. Just beware if you decide to use their site.
IT Trainer
A Rep called 10 times every hour stating he was a representative and asked for my ssn and dob. I declined and received a call back in 30 mins with a different rep and stating I could email my ssn and dob. It is a scam
Bottom line, this site is NO DICE to me. That's all I have to say...along with one lost resume with my personal credentials on it.
Who knows what identity thief (or thieves) have it now?
Just not happy with this site, period. No more questions and no more fake job searching with them.

Thanks, Patrick. Good to know!
Yet another one I need to check out. Thanks!
I don't know about everyone else, but that trailer makes this movie look really intriguing. Just the fact that this guy, who is the world's master, says he still has not achieved perfection, makes me want to watch it.
Who's going?
Dare I ask what everyone thinks of this film being chosen to honor the event?
Talking about Moore usually leads to some heated debates on MLive comment sections, so let's play nice and hear what everyone thinks.
Nope. Matter of fact it's the first I've heard of them--I still can't believe how many places there are around here. I just keep discovering more.
Can you put your finger on what makes them the best?
Since I've been writing about coneys I've gotten a lot of emails and phone calls telling me about places I've either never heard of or that I never wrote about. It sounds like there are a lot of unknown coney gems in the area--so let's hear some more.
Let us know here in the comments where we should all go the next time we're out for a coney in the Flint area.
Thanks all, for reading and being a part of this.
Rockso, I can't imagine anyone will hold that against you. Let me know what you think of the ride if you make it out.
Thanks, Jackson, that's a tempting offer.
And just for the record, I have no idea who the winner will be. I would have peaked if I could, but I couldn't. Looks like we'll all find out together.
To be honest, I think we've got a good shot. I guess we'll see.
I'm not sure if this will count in the judging or not, but Angelo's is also known for their fries covered in gravy. I imagine that John going strictly by coneys here, but he did admit to being a sucker for mashed potatoes and gravy. I guess we'll see if that extends to fried potatoes and gravy.
Who's looking forward to dusting off their bike this summer? If I keep writing these stories I might have to break down and buy one.
When I spoke to Steven Low he talked about how hard it was to get the number of films down to five, considering all the good stuff out there.
What would you have included in the festival?
Thanks, Austin.
I think I'd heard of that name from someone in conversation and then had a hard time remembering later what it was. Thanks for letting us know.
Thanks Acrosstheoceannow,
(Nice name, too, by the way.)
What did you husband think of the coneys when he tried them?
Also, I think you're the first one to give the White Horse their due in the coney conversation, so thanks for the heads up!
Did anyone else know about these? Am I just out of the loop?
Hey, Thinkin,
Thanks for noticing that mistake. We were at the one on Davison and Franklin...don't know what I was thinking there.
I'm making the change now, but just wanted to say thanks for catching it.
Awesome, Cretin. Thanks.
I'm still blown away by how many coney stories I managed to find--actually, I should say I'm surprised how many found me.
I'm still here guys. Let me know if you have any stories. email@example.com
I love it. There's just something authentic about small venues. The more worried the place might crash through the floor, the cooler, I say.
Thanks for writing.
Who else?
Thanks, Jkb!
When was it? Any good memories to share?

Quick App: Birdfeed Twitter Client for iPhone
Birdfeed [$4.99 - iTunes link] bills itself as "A very nice Twitter client for your iPhone". That's pretty much spot on. It doesn't try to razzle-dazzle, or focus exclusively on one element or another, but what it does do is provide a quick, clean, interface to manage your Twitter account (or accounts).
Highlighted features include the simple design, local caching of already-loaded tweets so you can keep reading when/if offline, SMS-style handling of direct messages (DMs) to help keep the conversation flow, unread @mentions (replies) and DM counters, and time stamps to indicate where you last read up to should new tweets have since been loaded.
To answer the immediate question, no support for iPhone 3.0 push notification yet. Birdfeed's Twitter account says that feature is likely, but there's no time-frame yet.
TwitPic and yfrong are available for image posting and tr.im for URL shortening. (Where's the bit.ly love, and tinyurl for retro chic?) Instapaper is supported, though you have to exit the app and go to the iPhone's Settings app to find and set it up. This makes sense given Apple's preference for keeping Settings in Settings, and also because it's unlikely you'll have to do it more than once.
Great from a user experience perspective, when you get to the end of currently loaded tweets, Birdfeed automatically starts loading older ones. That's right, no button tap required. (The default is 20 but you can change that in Settings). To get newer tweets, however, there is the perfunctory big honking -- yet tastefully rendered -- button at the top of the tweet list.
For users who put capital letters in their Twitter account names, there's currently a bug those accounts to go missing from the app, but it's known and a fix is on the way.
All in all, Birdfeed is exactly as presented -- a clear, consistent, and enjoyable general purpose Twitter client with some great new ideas in a even greater UI.
More screenshots after the break!

OMG I'm in the screenshot!!! I'm JBaby_9783!!!
Now that I've gotten over my initial shock I can comment about the topic. I tend to agree with antonioj and Josh H. I just can't see myself spending $5 when I already have Tweetie. Tweetie is a knockout! It sets the bar for me. But I do wish it had some of the Bigfeed features. Ultimately, Bigfeed has come to the party too late and at the wrong price point for me. And even if I made an impulse buy, which I have been known to do, it wouldn't work for me since I have uppercase letters in my username and I'm not willing to change it.

Abilene Baptist Church is a vibrant fellowship of believers passionately committed to connecting people to Jesus, His church, our community and the world. Take a few minutes to browse our website to see the many opportunities available through the ministry of Abilene, and then let us know how we can help you get connected.
Our Heritage: Abilene Baptist Church is one of the oldest Baptist Churches in Georgia. It was founded in 1774 by Daniel Marshal and was originally know as Red's (pronounced Reed) Creek Baptist Church. The first Pastor was Rev. Loveless Savage and he served the church from its founding in 1774 to 1791. He was also a Chaplain in the Revolutionary Army. The church stayed in its original location off Old Petersburg Road in Martinez, GA. until 1828 when it moved to a new location on Old Evans Road in Martinez. A large cemetery still can be found at the sight of the second location. Many of the people buried at this site were born in the 1700′s and lived through the revolution. Abilene remained at this location until 1952 when it moved again. This time it moved to its current location at 3917 Washington Road in Martinez.
Our Future
The future is bright for this passionate people called Abilene. We believe that God has put us in this place at this time for a great purpose. Our desire is to impact our community for Jesus, and see His name declared to the nations.

Microsoft is apparently in the process of re-branding themselves in three upcoming TV commercials. It has been over six months since Microsoft re-branded its image and debuted a new logo for the company. What could these commercials be about?
According to a new report, Microsoft has hired a content writer to create three "60 second spots" for the software giant. "Currently under NDA for project specifics. Hired to re-brand the image of Microsoft in three 60-second spots," the writer's portfolio states.
Is Microsoft going to work on creating advertisements that focus more on the mobile side of things, especially with the Surface devices or the upcoming Windows Blue update? It looks like Microsoft "rebranding" effort will take the form of three 60 second TV commercial advertisements.
Perhaps the term "rebrand" is being tossed around loosely here and the advertisements are simply going to push Microsoft's mobile product line, such as the Surface and Windows Phone platform. This push would signify that Microsoft isn't here just for Windows on the desktop or Windows Phone for smartphones, rather, the company is indeed looking to make its mark in the mobile market.

GSFC Sponsor Information
Establishing CRESST Tasks
Under the conventions of the CRESST cooperative agreement a task is essentially an accounting designation. It does not carry with it all the same characteristics of a task order within a NASA contract. A task has a unique task number, normally associated with a single primary GSFC civil service sponsor, generally tied to the GSFC organization code, and either for "science" or for "special programs." Science tasks are associated with CRESST scientific staff or graduate students. Special programs tasks are reserved for short term visitors, student interns, meetings, colloquia, conferences, summer schools, sabbaticals, etc. There is a different overhead structure on Special Programs vs. Science tasks -- due to the very different types and amounts of administative support requirements inherent, relative to the dollars flowing through the task.
Before a new R&D activity can commence, there must be an agreement about either creating a new task or including the activity under an existing task. To verify if an existing task can be utilized, please contact David Holdridge.
To establish a new task, the sponsor needs to provide the following information to David Holdridge – preferably in an e-mail:
Task Name:
Sponsor Name:
Sponsor Code & e-mail:
Cognizant Resource Analyst Name & E-mail Address:
Brief Statement of Work:
Budget Assumptions/Limitations:
Names and Contact Information for any Key Personnel Needed:
Desired or Preferred CRESST Partner Assignment: (UMCP, UMBC, or USRA)
Desired Start Date:
Expected Task Duration (If known):
Termination Date (if any):
Comments and/or Special Circumstances: (Be sure to include information on any conversations with and/or commitments made to the key personnel)
Following receipt of this information:
- Program Manager will assign a task number/name, and confirm/coordinate assumptions with the CRESST Management Council.
- After Management Council concurrence, the Program Manager generates a New Task Information form and sends this to the cognizant Code 600 resource analyst, requesting the analyst to confirm that there are sufficient funds available for the defined task.
- Upon receipt of this confirmation, the Program Manager then requests permission from the CATO, Frank Marshall to activate the task.
- Upon receipt of the e-mail concurrence, The CRESST Program Manager confirms the task creation with the sponsor, the RA, and "formally" delegates the necessary activity to the CRESST partner(s) involved in the implementation.
- Subsequently, an updated CRESST Task Master update is distributed to the Grants Officer, the CATO, the GSFC Resources Officer, Natasha Saunders, as well as all relevant CRESST personnel to confirm the existance of the new task.

Pierce Brosnan's Animal Artwork to Appear on Pet Lover's License Plate
Originally posted 09/27/2013 02:45PM
Animal advocacy groups need not fret over finding the right spokesman anymore because there's one who's happy to lend a hand: Bond. James Bond.
Actor Pierce Brosnan provided original artwork for a new license plate commissioned by the California Spay and Neuter License Plate Fund Inc. and California Veterinary Medical Board.
"This license plate will provide much-needed funds which will enable people who couldn't necessarily afford to spay or neuter their pets to do so," said the actor, whose drawing of his own adopted pets, dog Shilo and cat Angel Baby, graces the plate.
Known as the Pet Lover's License Plate, it's currently available for sale through the California DMV, or can be purchased at PetLoversPlate.com. Standard plates are $50, while personalized plates cost $98.

As Charlotte, 41, was becoming very ill from ovarian cancer, "Pierce was willing to pick up the phone and call anyone, go anywhere, take her anywhere, do anything for her at anytime," says Lisa Paulsen, president of the Entertainment Industry Foundation and a longtime Brosnan family friend.
Despite his best efforts to get her into the latest clinical trials, Charlotte lost her three-year battle with the disease on June 28.

Is it me or is this presidency beginning to feel like one of those preposterously beset undertakings destined to live on in popular culture as a legendary illustration of Murphy's Law? Here's the AP with the latest mishap:
President Barack Obama's health care law would let several million middle-class people get nearly free insurance meant for the poor, a twist government number crunchers say they discovered only after the complex bill was signed…. Medicare chief actuary Richard Foster says the situation keeps him up at night.. "I don't generally comment on the pros or cons of policy, but that just doesn't make sense," Foster said during a question-and-answer session at a recent professional society meeting. It's almost like allowing middle-class people to qualify for food stamps, he suggested.
Spiderman on Broadway can always cut its losses, close up shop, and leave the world no worse off. The same cannot be said of a continuously bedeviled presidential administration.

Outline and Text of Proposed Research and Promotion Order
Examples of definitions that will be needed to carry out the provisions of the order are: fiscal period, board, handler, producer, processor, importer, market or marketing, research, promotion, industry information, consumer information, the commodity covered, plans, projects, and programs.
Name and composition of the board:
The industry has flexibility in determining the number of members and what segment(s) of the industry they would represent. If imports are assessed, importers must have equitable representation on the board. Indicate if there would be alternates for the members or a public member and whether members would serve at-large or represent regions, districts, or states.
Term of office:
The term of office is usually 3 years, except for the initial terms of 2, 3 and 4 years to provide for staggered terms of office. Thereafter, one third of the board will be appointed each year. Each member and alternate may serve only two consecutive terms in office. The term of office may be on a calendar year or fiscal year basis or begin at anytime during the year as appropriate for the industry.
Nomination Procedures:
Nominations may be made at meetings in the production area, regionally, or state by state, or by mail ballot. Two nominees must be submitted to the Secretary of Agriculture for each position on the board. Whereas nominees to serve as industry members are usually elected by their peers, nominees for public member positions are usually nominated by the board after it has been appointed.
Procedures for reapportionment of board membership:
At least once every five years, the board must review the geographical distribution of U.S. production on the commodity and, if the program covers imports, the quantity or value of the imports of the commodity. If warranted, membership on the board must be changed to reflect changes in the geographical distribution of domestic production and the quantity or value of imports. This is accomplished by notice and comment rulemaking.
Powers and duties:
These are standard and include administering the order in accordance with its terms and conditions; collecting assessments; developing and recommending to the Secretary of Agriculture bylaws and rules; meeting, organizing, and selecting officers and committee; providing the Secretary with advance notice of meetings; employing staff; conducting generic promotion, research, and consumer and industry information activities; preparing and submitting to the Secretary rate of assessment and an annual budget and marketing plan; entering into contracts as necessary; keeping records; receiving, investigating, and reporting to the Secretary violations of the order; and recommending to the Secretary amendments to the order. In addition, each board is required to finance an independent evaluation of its programs effectiveness at least once every 5 years.
Meeting Procedures:
This includes matters such as quorum requirements and voting procedures.
Programs, Plans, Projects
Types of Research and Promotion Activities which may be conducted:
It is in this section that the industry describes the types of activities that me be conducted under the program. The authority may be broad or include specific requirements, such as requiring expenditures on domestic and export promotions to be proportionate to the amount of assessments collected on domestic and export shipments or restrictions on production research. The statute prohibits (1) any action that could be a conflict of interest; (2) using funds collected by the board for the purpose of influencing any legislation or governmental action or policy other than recommending to the Secretary amendments to the order; and (3) any advertising that may be false, misleading or disparaging to another agriculture commodity.
Requirements for Contractors:
This section requires each contractor to comply with all provisions of the statute and the order. It may also contain individual program-specific requirements.
Expenses and Assessments
Assessment Rate and Procedures:
This section sets the assessment rate or a maximum assessment rate as well as provisions for raising and lowering the rate. If imports are assessed, the assessment must be comparable to the domestic assessment. The rate may be based on a unit of the commodity or value. If the order specifies a delayed referendum, the assessment rate may not be raised between the time the program is implemented and the initial referendum. There may be no more than one assessment levied on a first handler or importer with respect to any agricultural commodity. This section also prescribes how and when covered entities are to remit their assessments.
Different Payment and Reporting Schedules (optional):
The order may authorize the board to grant different payment and reporting schedules to recognize differences in marketing practices and procedures used in different production and importing areas.
Exemptions (options):
If the order authorizes exemptions from assessments, it should also provide safeguards for ensuring that exemption provisions are not abused.
Credit for State Assessments (optional):
The order may authorize credits of assessments for those individuals who contribute to other similar generic research, promotion, and information programs at the state, regional, or local level.
Credit for Branded Activities by Cooperatives (optional):
The Secretary may permit a farmer cooperative that engages in branded activities to receive an annual credit. The cost of the branded activities could be deducted from the amount of any assessments that would otherwise be required to be paid to the national promotion board by the producer members of the cooperative.
Penalties for not Paying Assessments:
The order should provide that individuals not paying assessments on time are subject to late payment penalties and interest.
Provisions for Safeguarding Industry Funds and Establishing Reserves:
This section of the order prescribes investment policies and parameters for reserve funds.
Escrow Account and Refund Procedures if a Delayed Referendum is Proposed:
If the order contemplates a delayed referendum, the board must establish an escrow account to hold 10 percent of assessments collected between the date the order becomes effective and the date of the referendum. Assessment payers must be allowed to apply for a refund of the assessments they paid under the program. Refunds will be made from the escrow account if the industry votes to discontinue the program. If the escrow account does not contain adequate funds to pay refunds of 100 percent, the board shall refund assessments to the requestors on a prorated basis.
Reimbursement of Government Costs:
This includes costs incurred by USDA from the date the order is requested, including start-up on referendum costs, plus U.S. Customs Service costs if imports are assessed.
Limitation on Spending:
Each year beginning three years after the board is established, the boards annual administrative expenses (except for reimbursements to the government) may not exceed 15 percent of its income for the year.
Prohibited Activities:
No funds may be used for any promotion, research, and information activities that are false, misleading, or disparaging to another agricultural commodity. A board member, employee, or agent may not engage in any action that would be a conflict of interest; use funds collected for the purpose of influencing any legislation or governmental action or policy other than recommending to the Secretary amendments to the order.
Reports, Books, Records
Description of Reporting Forms and When They Should be Filed
Record Keeping Requirements:
Each covered entity must keep records as required by this section.
Confidentiality Requirements:
All information collected under the auspices of the order must be kept confidential by all officers, employees, and agents of USDA and the board, except for the issuance of general statements.
Referendum Procedures
Up-front or Delayed Referendum:
The order may provide for a referendum to be held prior to implementation or it may be delayed. If the industry requests a delayed referendum, the referendum must be held within three years after assessment collections begin under the program.
Who Will Vote:
Those who pay assessments would vote in referenda. If imports are assessed, importers must be allowed to vote in referenda.
How Referendum will be Conducted:
The industry has the options of advance registration and/or voting by mail or in-person.
Requirements for Passage:
An order may provide for its approval (1) by a majority of those voting; (2) by persons voting who represent a majority of the volume of the commodity voted in the referendum; or (3) both.
Periodic Continuance Referenda (optional):
The order may provide that USDA conduct a referendum periodically (e.g., every 5 or 6 years) to determine if the industry wants the program to continue.
Right of the Secretary:
This is a standard section, and it states that all activities of the board shall be submitted to the Secretary for approval.
Suspension and Termination Procedures:
This section describes the steps to terminate a program, including the appointment by the Secretary of trustees from among the board members and the disposition of residual funds not required to dray the necessary expenses of liquidation.
Amendment Procedures:
This is a general section stating that amendments to the order may be recommended from time to time by the board or any interested person affected by the program, including the Secretary.
Personal Liability of Board Members and Staff:
This section explains that no member or employee of the board shall be held personally responsible, either individually or jointly, to any person for errors in judgement, mistakes, or other acts or failures to act, except for acts of dishonesty or willful misconduct.
Statement on Patents, Copyrights, Inventions, Publications, and Product Formulations:
Any patents, copyrights, publications, or product formulation developed through the use of funds received by the board under the order shall be the property of the United States Government. Royalties and other income from the rental, sale, leasing, franchising, or other uses of patents, copyrights, inventions, publications, or product formulations belong to the board.

The location was pretty good if you are willing to take the bus into town. The bus stops are just down the street (2 min walk) and across the street (1 min walk) to go into Castries or to Gros Islet, respectively. There's also a grocery store close by.
It had no bed net and no window screen, and the window was propped open with a piece of wood (and wouldn't reopen after I shut it).
It was a very good place to stay. Staff friendly and accommodating.
The staff were so willing to help....they are very friendly....Amazing.
There was nothing we did not like. The place is great.

Read Poems by
The Situation
a duty is an obligation
lawfull in it's nature
a desire is an invitation
no lawfull will is required
a duty compells one to act
while desire look's for
a duty can be honorable
courageous and justified
and desire loving, kind
and modified
a husband can perform
duties for his wife
without the desire
of pleasing her life
a husband can give her
the things she needs
without consideration
of the food the soul feeds
a husband can promise
for the rest of his life
but it really does'nt matter
if it is'nt pleasing his wife
there is a duty to go home
and a desire to bring flowers
a duty to phone
and a desire to spend hours
a duty to love and love
are two different things
one could be desire
and the other just a ring
where one is earthly
the other a heavenly thing
with in giving and recieving
where would your soul be
