I had not been to Sea Grill in ages- and had the great fortune to experience a tasting menu from their new chef- Yugi. On after another I savored beautifully executed and mouth watering bites of the most creative and delish fish and seafood I have had in a long time- maybe ever! The ingredients were clearly the seasonal best- and the preparations were sheer genius. If you haven't been in awhile- or haven't been ever....GO! The food, the service and the atmosphere were all top rate!

My daughter and I stopped in today to finally try your restaurant. Personally I have had crab cakes in a number of different states. No one can compare to yours. I have never tasted better crab cakes in my life! In addition your signature chocolate pudding desert is the best melt in your mouth chocolate explosion! My daughter had your scallop dinner and she is a chef herself and gave it the highest rating possible. God bless your chef!! Fabulous food, great service & atmosphere. Watching the skaters in RC is awesome.

I have no idea how this place has 4 stars... I am assuming because the reviews on here are so old that this used to be good. I have lived in NYC for 4 years and have never had a poorer meal. I went with my gf to wingman my roommate on a blind-date and it was an awful experience (for all 4 of us). Both me and my gf (who eat out about 2 times a week and hardly ever complain) thought the food was unedible. When I first was served my 'salmon' dinner, it was so raw, it was still cold on the inside. They took it back to heat it up and when I took a bite, it tasted horrid. The other 3 people has similar complaints to keep it short. I worked as a chef for 4 years so I never send food back... it was amazing. After spending $100 per person, I do not recommend this to anyone.

We had lunch at the Sea Grill before a show on Novemeber 29, 2008. Since the trip was a gift to my family for Christmas, I was thrilled that lunch turned out perfect. The food was great as was the service, I couldn't have wanted anything more. It was pricey for lunch but I knew that when I made the reservation. We sat by the window and watched the skaters during lunch. A great treat for us all!

This was my second attempt at The Sea Grill and I was truly disappointed. The service was really poor. We were seated and then asked to move twice to another table. I refused because I was comfortable where we were seated the second time. The menus and utentils were not on the table. Our food was practically thrown on the table. The iced tea did not taste good at all. The Tamarind fish was delish, but the pork chops were subpar. I love the atmosphere, it's warm and cozy. Not sure if I will return. Service plays a big part in my dining.

We had 7:15 ressies and showed up at 6:45 to grab a drink at the bar. The maitre'd instead very courteously and quickly seated us immediately. This might have been a mistake on my part because we ended up almost as far away from the window as possible. We could still see the skating rink, but our view of Prometheus was totally blocked. My wife was still happy reasoning that window-side seats might have been colder and it still was a good atmosphere. Service from both the waiter at the wine sommelier was very good. Food was good. Two weeks later as I write this I don't remember what I had, but my wife had probably the best scallops we have have ever enjoyed. The bill meet expectations - as in I knew it would be on the expensive side. I would definately send a friend, though on my next trip I am looking forward to checking out less high profile restaurants.

My friends & I had reservations for 12/1 at the Sea Grill. My one friend is from Pittsburgh and wanted to see the skaters so I made reservations. To begin with, the host first entering the restaurant was rude. We were forced to leave our coats at the coat check which we didn't wish to do. The menu from I believe 11/23 to Jan 1 or 2 is a special menu. They say it ranges from $88-98 but we only saw the $98 version. All 3 of us are not afraid to pay for a good meal in a nice place but this was not worth the money. Our total bill came to $396.00. The amount of food received for that price is a joke. I think they are taking advantage of the holiday season with all the tourists which is very unfortunate. We had the sea grill chowder, crab cakes (only came with potato chips) and dessert (poor selection). Your wine or other drinks were not included. The crab cakes were good, all crab and no filler. My one friend had 3 raw oysters at 3.50 each which additional to the $98 price. We arrived at 5pm but by 6:15 hadn't received our main meal and needed to get a bus at 6:45 out of the city. It seemed everyone else got served quicker than we did which I didn't understand. When you review the regular menu, the items we had would have totaled $64.00 so a bit of a increase for the holiday season and nothing more being given. We had to have our desserts to go, pumpkin cheesecake (thanksgiving is over) and key lime pie were our choices. The cheesecake was 2 bites, so tiny and the key lime pie was a bit larger. We were to also have ice cream with them but since we had to have them to go, no ice cream. I just felt the need to warn those for this holiday season to be prepared, make sure you have lots of time for the dinner and don't expect to receive a lot for dollar. I would never go again during the holiday season, we could have gone many other places that would have been much better in the city. At least we did get to see the skaters and one marriage proposal.

Last year at the Belgian Grand Prix Romain Grosjean grabbed headlines for all the wrong reasons as he triggered a spectacular crash which earned him notoriety and a one race ban, since then he has apparently tamed his wild streak and heads to Spa-Francorchamps itching to score his first Formula 1 win with a car that is more than capable of the feat.
What are your thoughts about Spa-Francorchamps?
What a track; it's fantastic! It's a superb rollercoaster of a circuit, then there's the added bonus that they speak French meaning it's almost another home race for me after Monaco and Canada. It's going to be good. If we have the pace we displayed in Budapest at a more normal circuit with better overtaking opportunities – and a bit wider track too – then I think good things could well be possible.
How is your feeling with the E21 now you have half a season behind you?
Certainly in the last few races I have felt very good in the car and have been able to push in qualifying and the race. It's a good place to be heading into the second half of the season where there are very good opportunities for some great results.
How do you think the E21 should suit Spa's challenges?
It should fit our car pretty well. In fact, the second half of the season looks good overall in terms of how the tracks should suit the E21. Hopefully we'll have everything we need to win races. I'm looking forward to it as it's a special track and I also won the GP2 Series title there in 2011, so it'll be good for me to be back there again.
If you could sum up these first ten races, what would you say?
That's a difficult one, but I guess I'd have to say the word 'potential' is the key. For sure we've had some difficult moments and maybe the results haven't always been what the team deserved, but the potential for top finishes has always been there.
What's been your highlight of this year so far?
A much easier question! Not many people know yet, but just after the race in Hungary my little boy Sacha arrived into the world so I am now a very proud father! On track…well, I would like to say the pass on Felipe [Massa] in Budapest – which at the time I thought may have been the best of my career so far – but of course with the penalty I suppose it's not the same. The podium in Germany would have to be my next choice; not just because it was a great result for the team, but because we were genuinely fighting for the win right to the end which was a pretty good feeling.
And on the flip side?
Monaco was not my best weekend, that's no secret. The pace was there, but for one reason or another I just didn't put everything together when really a strong result was definitely achievable. I still owe the mechanics and composites guys a drink for that; hopefully it will be some victory champagne later in the season…
How are you feeling heading into the second half of the season?
Very good. We proved in Germany and Hungary that we can compete right at the front of the grid and I think if we can continue to improve at the same rate we will be looking pretty good for the remaining nine races. I'm feeling more and more comfortable in the car every time I drive it which is certainly a good sign looking forwards. After our performance in the last few races, I honestly believe my first win is now just around the corner.

The horse-chestnut scale is considered an urban pest where its white ovisacs cause significant cosmetic deterioration to the appearance of trees.
However, Pulvinaria regalis is not generally regarded as a damaging pest. It usually feeds on trees that can easily withstand the sap loss.
There have, however, been records of this species causing the death of a host plant, where young and stressed plants seem most at risk. Plant stress is often greatest in urban environments.
Tiny parasitoid wasps can limit populations of insect pests. However, the horse-chestnut scale is not effectively controlled by parasitoid wasps - ironically the wasp pupae overwinter on fallen leaves, which are removed and destroyed in towns, thereby killing perhaps the most effective control agent.
The horse-chestnut scale has become far too widespread and abundant for effective managed control. However, the crawlers are vulnerable to insecticides and so individual plants can be treated by several insecticide applications in June and July.

Booktalking "Good Morning China" by Hu Yong Yi
In the morning in China, everyone chooses different activities. People in the park have their morning fun. One person is resting by the lotus pond. Another one cycles, some people play badminton, and some are stretching. Other people are dancing, some with swords or fans, and others in a waltz. Some people play chess and others play card games.
Harmony, peace, and simplicity are at the center of this work. What do you do in the morning?
Good Morning China by Hu Yong Yi, 2007
I love the naturalistic illustrations in this book, and the simplicity of a one-sentence idea paired with one illustration in each double-page spread. The last double-page spread opens to a pop-up display of everyone in the park engaged in their activities.

Oscillating magnetic field disrupts magnetic orientation in Zebra finches, Taeniopygia guttata

Background Zebra finches can be trained to use the geomagnetic field as a directional cue for short distance orientation. The physical mechanisms underlying the primary processes of magnetoreception are, however, largely unknown. Two hypotheses of how birds perceive magnetic information are mainly discussed, one dealing with modulation of radical pair processes in retinal structures, the other assuming that iron deposits in the upper beak of the birds are involved. Oscillating magnetic fields in the MHz range disturb radical pair mechanisms but do not affect magnetic particles. Thus, application of such oscillating fields in behavioral experiments can be used as a diagnostic tool to decide between the two alternatives. Methods In a setup that eliminates all directional cues except the geomagnetic field zebra finches were trained to search for food in the magnetic north/south axis. The birds were then tested for orientation performance in two magnetic conditions. In condition 1 the horizontal component of the geomagnetic field was shifted by 90 degrees using a helmholtz coil. In condition 2 a high frequently oscillating field (1.156 MHz) was applied in addition to the shifted field. Another group of birds was trained to solve the orientation task, but with visual landmarks as directional cue. The birds were then tested for their orientation performance in the same magnetic conditions as applied for the first experiment. Results The zebra finches could be trained successfully to orient in the geomagnetic field for food search in the north/south axis. They were also well oriented in test condition 1, with the magnetic field shifted horizontally by 90 degrees. In contrast, when the oscillating field was added the directional choices during food search were randomly distributed. Birds that were trained to visually guided orientation showed no difference of orientation performance in the two magnetic conditions.…

OK, we'll keep her
Sounds like she'll fit right in, and could very well step into the starting lineup as a freshmen given our guard inventory after this year.
Excellent - If Bill likes her I'm sold. Fennely is the King!!

Bi- and tri-amplified systems always sound better than passive speakers driven by a single power amp. When those components have been hand-selected and designed to work as a complementary system, the sound quality and functionality of that system increases exponentially. Mackie Active electronics take all the guesswork out of system configuration and hookup. Just plug in the power cable and the signal line from your board or snake — we've already done the rest for you. It couldn't be easier.
There is no need for massive racks of amps and processing gear when you've got Mackie Active Loudspeakers. The built-in active crossover divides the incoming signal and sends a sonically optimized, phase-aligned, and time-corrected signal to each of the internal amplifiers, which were designed specifically for their respective transducers. This means all of our internal amplifiers are perfectly mated with their speakers, eliminating any possibility that transducers will be over or underpowered. With Mackie Active Technology, we take all the hassle out of "multi-amp" systems.
All Mackie Active Loudspeaker systems include multiple active electronic EQ stages that perform tasks no coil-and-capacitor crossover could possibly do. Since there is no transducer on earth which has "ruler-flat" response across its entire frequency bandwidth, we enlisted the gurus at Eastern Acoustic Works (EAW) to tune the SAz models' parametric equalization. The brain pool at EAW both optimized the transducer's output, and solved the inherent phasing problems. This same electronic system also makes it possible to create a smooth, precise soundstage with proper, controlled phase response.
When the signal is completely in phase, the results are detailed imaging, greater depth of field, and real definition. When the signal is not in phase, you hear inconsistent sound with lots of muddy artifacts, which spoil the listening experience throughout the room. Even typical 2- and 3-way systems, with properly connected components encounter phase anomalies that are too expensive and unwieldy to correct due to the high cost of premium passive crossover components.
The Active onboard electronics inside the SAz and SRz series allow us to refine the phase alignment characteristics to eliminate such anomalies. The result is clear, consistent sound, as well as superior dispersion characteristics. What it all means; every person in your audience will hear the same thing. In the back. In the front. On the sides. The difference will be instantly noticeable. (see Fig. A)
Each transducer has a "plane of origin" where its sound generation begins. The compression driver's plane of origin is deep inside the enclosure. The woofer's sound-producing cone is much closer to the front of the enclosure. The result is bass that arrives at listeners' ears sooner than treble. In the case of a 3-way system, you end up with three staggered time arrivals. To solve this puzzle, you need a method of correctly timing the arrival of electrical impulses at each transducer. In other words, the HF transducer needs a "head start" over the LF transducer so the differences in sound generation speed can be accounted for, and both signals can arrive at the listeners' ears simultaneously. (see Fig. B)
Clever electronics inside our 2- and 3-way systems allow precise alignment among the system components without any audio signal degradation. This is especially important as distance from the loudspeaker increases. The closer you get to the speaker, the greater effect time correction has on the quality of sound.
Mackie knows power amplifier technology inside and out. In fact, we're one of the few manufacturers of active speaker systems who actually market a very successful line of separate power amps as well.
The high-current amplifiers inside the SAz Super Actives are clean sounding, and ultra-reliable. They're designed specifically for the transducers they're coupled to. This last point is especially important because the amplification requirements of a bass transducer are enormously different from those of a midrange or high frequency driver. To properly control an LF transducer, you need an amp that can deliver specific loads of current to handle the mass of the woofer cone, and can keep it moving in a controlled manner. Moreover, you need to control the interaction between the amplifier and the transducer motor, an impossible task when the amp is at the opposite end of a long speaker cable. (see Fig. C)
Compression drivers and midranges are highly efficient and need less power to achieve extreme SPL levels. You can substantially improve their accuracy however, by providing high voltage amplification with extremely low intermodulation distortion by-products. With the correct amplification, you can properly equalize a system and still have plenty of headroom.
Since Mackie Active speaker systems integrate application-specific amplifiers, they can achieve the highest possible output from the system's components. Passive systems with standard crossovers and unknown amplifiers are less likely to achieve an ideal, seamless, high-performance system solution.
The 15-inch and 12-inch low frequency transducers in our SAz Super Actives are virtually burn-out-proof. The "motor" of our specially designed 15-inch LF transducer uses an extremely high-flux magnet structure and a unique 3-inch high-temperature voice coil. Here is why that is a good thing.
A speaker voice coil is an electromagnet consisting of copper wire wound onto a round "former." When you put lots of power through wire, it gets hot. If it gets too hot, the voice coil croaks. The wire can burn out, toast the voice coil, or melt the adhesive attaching it onto the coil. (see Fig. D)
This happens all too often to conventional subwoofer transducers because of the way their voice coils are designed. As heat builds up unevenly, the wire and former expand at different rates. This can lead to catastrophic failure as the wire separates from the former.
Our proprietary design allows for maximum cooling to take place. The wire and voice coil former expand at the same rate, relieving stress and preventing separation. Mackie LF transducers can withstand running 10 hours, flat-out at a rave, in a sweaty 100° F warehouse—or even worse.
Bottom line: the SAz and SRz 15" LF transducers can handle the full power load of their amplifiers continuously without burnout. In fact, they can theoretically handle power up to the point of glowing red-hot (700° F/380° C). In our SA1530z, SA1232z, SA1532z, and SR1530z 3-way systems, generating accurate high and midrange frequencies is only part of the story. They must be delivered to your audience... in the right amounts, in the same place, at the same time.
The entire top and bottom sections of the SAz cabinets are one-piece molded resin slabs. (see Fig. E) In terms of corner protection, this beats the tar out of the little dime store metal caps that our competition uses. It also lets us build in more carry handles, including on the bottom, so even packing them in and out is an improvement over competing products.

Cooling of electronic components on a circuit board is accomplished by a rmally conductive element such as a heat pipe that is in spaced parallel relation to the board and in contact with the upper surfaces of the components. The ends of the conductive element are forced into contact with a heat receiving and dissipating frame by a clamp device acting through the board and a lightweight spacer between the board and the conductive element.
1. In the combination of an electronic circuit board and electronic components mounted on said board and having substantially planar upper surfaces facing away from said board and lower surfaces disposed directly against the upper surface of said board, support means for said board, and apparatus for cooling said components by transfer of heat to said support means, the improvement comprising:
thermal conductor means lying in a plane substantially parallel to and spaced above said upper surface of said board, said thermal conductor means comprising an elongated bar-shaped element spanning said board, engaging said upper surfaces of said components and having its end portions overlying the side edge portions of the board;
spacer means disposed between said upper surface of said board and said thermal conductor means, said spacer means comprising an upper skin member, a lower skin member, and a compression resistant filler member disposed between said upper and lower skin members so as to be characterized by a high resistance to compressive forces in directions normal to said upper surface of said board; and
clamp means acting through said board and said spacer means to hold said thermal conductor means in heat transfer relation to said support means;
said support means comprising a thermally conductive frame having inwardly directed flanges defining grooves receiving said clamp means, said edge portions of said board, said spacer means, and said end portions of said heat transfer means.
2. The combination as defined in claim 1, and wherein:
said filler member comprises a material of honeycomb configuration.
3. The combination defined in claim 2, and further comprising:
a film of high thermal conductivity material disposed between said end portions of said thermal conductor means and said flanges, said film being compliant under pressure.
4. The combination defined in claim 3, and wherein:
said film comprises a metal based filler of good thermal conductivity in a synthetic plastic carrier.
5. The combination as defined in claim 4, and wherein: said carrier comprises a silicone material.
This invention relates generally to the removal of heat from electronic circuit components, and more particularly an improved construction for conducting heat from components, mounted on a common panel or board, to a panel support structure.
Electronic component generated heat may be transferred from the component to its surroundings by convection, radiation, or conduction. Heat may be transferred directly from the component by convection where any of its surfaces are exposed to a surrounding fluid, either liquid or gas. However, direct contact of the cooling fluid with the component may contaminate the component and influence its electronic functions or inhibit maintenance procedures. U.S. Pat. No. 4,138,692 avoids the contamination aspect by placing a heat conducting stud in direct contact with the component, with the stud extending through a bellows into the cooling fluid. The resulting construction is cumbersome and not well suited to edge mounted circuit panels in a stacking arrangement.
Heat may be transferred directly from a component by radiation from any of its surfaces to cooler surrounding surfaces. However, the low component operating temperatures required for high reliability of electronic operation causes heat radiation to be small.
Heat may be conducted directly from a component through its electrical leads or connectors, e.g., the component can be mounted astride the heat transfer material or heat transfer device. An example of this is provided by U.S. Pat. No. 4,118,756 wherein a heat pipe device having conduction bars extending between the electronic components and the supporting circuit panel. The specific design of the conducting bars must be coordinated with the electronic design to insure that the heat conduction paths do not interfere with electrical circuits, hence each electronic module, or component becomes a unique design problem. An additional shortcoming in that arrangement has been identified as an increase in shock and vibration sensitivity because of the increased lead lengths necessary to span the heat pipe bars and subject to the mass of the component.
Still another shortcoming or disadvantage of a between panel and component location for the heat transfer or conduction means is that it cannot be adapted to use with components of the type wherein the component is designed to rest directly against the panel surface and electrical connections are made at locations around the peripheral, bottom edge of the component.
With the foregoing in mind, the present invention has as a principle object the provision of an improved construction for removal of heat from components forming part of circuit panels, which construction avoids or overcomes many of the shortcomings and disadvantages of the prior art.
Another important object of this invention is to provide a device for use in combination with circuit boards or panels having a plurality of electronic components and heat conductive means associated therewith in such a manner as to reduce vibration and increase resistance to mechanical shock, while providing effective removal of heat.
Still another object is the provision of apparatus for efficient thermal energy transfer from electronic components on an edge mounted circuit panel to the panel supporting structure.
Yet another object is to accomplish the foregoing while maintaining lightness in weight, low cost, and reliability of operation.
The invention may further be said to reside in certain novel combinations, arrangements, dispositions, and cooperation of elements by which the previously stated objects and advantages are attained, as well as others which will become apparent from the following description of a presently preferred exemplary embodiment when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification.
FIG. 1 is a fragmentary plan view of a circuit board or panel in association with a support frame and heat transfer construction embodying the invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the apparatus of FIG. 1 taken substantially along line 2--2 thereof; and
FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view illustrating a portion of the apparatus of FIGS. 1 and 2.
In the presently preferred form of the invention illustrated in the drawings and described hereinafter, there is provided a circuit panel or board 10 carrying a plurality of electronic circuit components 12 which may include discrete electronic elements but are, in the more usual case, integrated circuit devices. The components 12 are conveniently arranged in rows from side to side across the board 10, and are conveniently, but not necessarily selected to be of uniform height or thickness above the board in any given row. As may best be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, the components in this exemplary embodiment are rectangular or square in plan and lie directly against the board 10. Each may have a plurality of electrical connections 14 made to conductive areas (not shown) on the board and these connections may be made at a plurality of locations around the lower peripheral edge of the component. At this point it should be noted that terms such as side, top, upper, lower, above, and the like, are used herein for convenience in understanding the description and claims with reference to the drawings, with the understanding that no particular orientation of apparatus embodying the invention is required.
The board 10 is carried or supported in a heat receiving and dissipating frame 18 having internal side flanges 20 defining parallel grooves 22 that receive the edge portions of the circuit board 10. As shown in FIG. 2, the frame may have a series of such grooves, one being illustrated in an unoccupied condition.
A plurality of receptacles 24 are mounted in the end of the frame 18 for receiving suitable connector pins of conventional type (not shown) at the edge of each board 10. Other known connection means may, of course, be utilized.
The components 12 of the circuit board 10 are adapted to have heat carried away therefrom and to the frame in an efficient manner through the association therewith of heat conductive means, here shown in the form of bar shaped elements 28. The elements 28, which may comprise metal bars or bar-shaped heat pipes, lie in a plane that is parallel to and spaced above the upper plane surface of the board and engage directly against the top surfaces of the components 12 in each row, so that heat is transmitted from each component to the corresponding element by conduction. A thermally conductive grease or paste may be advantageously used between the upper surface of each component 12 and the overlying element 28 to increase contact area in circumstances where the component surfaces are not smooth or plane enough to assure good contact.
The elements 28 span the width of the board 10 and the end portions of the elements overlie the side edge portions of the boards.
Disposed between the end portions of each element 28 and the edge portions of the respective board 10 is a light weight spacer 30. As is best illustrated in FIG. 3, the spacer 30, which may be elongated and span the ends of a plurality of elements 28, comprises an upper skin 30a, a lower skin 30b, and a central filler 30c. In this embodiment the upper and lower skins are formed of a rigid, fiber reinforced synthetic plastic resin material while the filler 30c is configured as a honeycomb formed of plastic resin impregnated paper, aluminum, or the like. The honeycomb configuration provides large resistance to crushing by compressive forces in directions normal to the planes of the board and the element 28.
Disposed between the upper surface of each bar 28 and its corresponding flange 20 is a thin layer or film 32 of a heat transmitting or conductive material that is sufficiently compliant to assure large or substantially complete contact area between the opposing surfaces of the flanges and bars. The film 32 advantageously comprises a finely divided metal or metal oxide filled silicone rubber material.
The board 10, the spacer 30, and the heat conducting bar 28 are tightly clamped together and against a corresponding flange 20 by a clamping device 40 lying between the board and an opposing flange 20. The device 40 may be any of several well known types, but is here shown as comprising first and second elongated members 40a, 40b that constitute long opposing ramps and are movable longitudinally relative to one another to produce a wedging action against the board.
In those circumstances where components 12 in a given row are of differing heights, a bar 28 of varying thickness can be employed, or appropriate, heat conductive spacer elements can be inserted between the shorter components and the bar.
Obviously, other embodiments and modifications of the subject invention will readily come to the mind of one skilled in the art having the benefit of the teachings presented in the foregoing description and the drawing. It is, therefore, to be understood that this invention is not to be limited thereto and that said modifications and embodiments are intended to be included within the scope of the appended claims.

Orioles Look To Get On A Roll Versus Boston
(AP) — Rick Porcello has hardly lived up to the big contract extension he received from the Boston Red Sox this offseason, though he finally flashed some potential last time out. He'll look for a […]

Metamorphosis by Devon Ashley EARLY REVIEW+GIVEAWAY
Monday, November 14, 2011 | Posted by kara-karina@Nocturnal Book Reviews
Metamorphosis by Devon Ashley (The Immortal Archives #2)
won from Devon Ashley
Synopsis from Goodreads
Change is not always a good thing...
Some survived the battle – but not without a price. As one heart starts up again, another dies down. The pure vampires learn their immortality isn't as strong as they'd thought – the status of their hearts determines their vulnerability. And when the truth gets out, a betrayal by one of their own will cost more lives.
US release: 15/11/2011
* * *I really wanted to like this book just as much as the first one, but it didn't work out for me. It was just all over the place.
This series is very original and fresh, but I feel like it needs more focus. The plot was going from one thing to another in a blink of an eye. There was no basis, no groundwork for certain actions and it was like I was missing some bits of info to give me a fuller picture of events.
I think, up until Noel and Abby's journey everything was going really well. The training and conversations were really interesting. Then we started getting confusing behaviour from all the parties, villains out of the magician's hat, and lack of world-building...
The end of the novel was like scrambled eggs. Tasty but hell of a mess to look at :)
I do like the ideas of this series, but they are not properly developed yet. I hope the book #3 will change that.
* * *В общем то, несмотря на интересные идеи этой серии Бессмертных Архивов, идеи так и остались идеями, необработанными и недоделанными. А очень жаль, так как серия могла превратиться в конфетку.
Я читала книгу нормально до тех пор пока Ноэль и Абби не отправились в своё путешествие, и вот тогда у меня начались проблемы с повествованием. Много роялей в кустах, необъяснимого поведения и пробежки по верхам вместо прямолинейной череды событий.
Надеюсь, что третья книга всё это исправит, но особо слюни не распускаю.
My ARC of Metamorphosis needs a new home!

The best part about this technique is that you can pack in a ton of flavor without adding chunks of other ingredients to the mashed potatoes - great for finicky eaters!
Step 1: What you'll need:
- 6 russet potatoes
- 1 cup milk or cream or a mix of the two
- 4 tablespoons butter
- garlic, dried herbs, fresh herbs of choice (I used garlic and parsley)
- salt & pepper to taste
You can also add more butter and a handful of parmesan cheese for super tasty mashed potatoes.
You'll also need a small strainer - that's the only special equipment required!
Step 2: Peel and boil your potatoes
Put on the stove and bring to a boil.
Depending on the size of the potatoes, they will take 20-30 minutes to cook. You'll know they're done once they can be easily pierced or crushed by a fork.
I normally set a timer for 15 minutes, test a piece, and then add more time as necessary. It's better to over-boil than under-boil.

Conduct an orchestra
ViennaVienna on the map
Your average orchestra conductor trained decades for that coveted post. Now, a far easier route exists, thanks to Vienna's interactive sound museum and its "Virtual Conductor" technology. Set in the historical palace of Archduke Karl in the old city center, the Haus der Musik lets visitors explore Austria's musical heritage at every level - and then contribute their own musical talent in real time.
Choose your music, hoist the electronic baton and step before a video projection of the fabled Vienna Philharmonic inside Musikverein's golden concert hall. Your movements control these virtual musicians, and what might begin as an ordinary day ends with your conducting the Blue Danube waltz, the Annen Polka, Mozart's Little Night Music, the Radetzky March, Brahms' Hungarian Dance No. 5 or Strauss' Orpheus-Quadrille. An unforgettable experience that will ring in your ears for a long time.

COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö One of Whitley CountyŌĆÖs younger sheriffŌĆÖs deputies is working his way up the ranks of the department.
Cory Patrick, who has five years with the department, was promoted as the second-shift sergeant Wednesday afternoon.
Patrick was one of three candidates who put in for the position, and he is looking forward to his new role in the department.
ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs not a lot of room to move up in a smaller department like ours,ŌĆØ Patrick said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a great opportunity.ŌĆØ
Two years ago, Patrick was the youngest and newest deputy on the department
INDIANAPOLIS ŌĆö The American Red Cross issued an emergency request for platelet and blood donors of all blood types to roll up a sleeve and give because many fewer donations than expected were received in June and the first week of July.
ŌĆ£We are counting on generous volunteer blood and platelet donors to step up and give now,ŌĆØ said Sharyn Whitman, CEO, Indiana-Ohio Blood Services Region.
ŌĆ£Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. Each day donations come up short, less blood is available for these patients in need.ŌĆØ
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Salvation Army of Whitley CountyŌĆÖs ŌĆ£Celebrity Shoe OffŌĆØ is Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in front of Shoe Show in Columbia City.
The goal is for local ŌĆ£celebritiesŌĆØ to generate money for the nonprofitŌĆÖs drive to provide new school shoes for children in need.

Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for students kindergarten through 12th grade.
SOUTH WHITLEY ŌĆö ŌĆ£Who is your favorite firefighter?ŌĆØ
In an effort to raise money and increase food donations, the South Whitley Emergency Food Bank is holding a contest for residents to vote for their favorite Cleveland Township Firefighter.
Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon, votes will be gathered.
When a voter brings a nonperishable food item to the station, one vote will go toward the count for their favorite firefighter.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Columbia CityŌĆÖs Utility Rate Advisory Board took the next step in reviving from dormancy Tuesday.
After much discussion at the June 25 Columbia City Common Council meeting, changes were made to the cityŌĆÖs Utility Rate Advisory Board.
The council unanimously approved eliminating the connection between political parties and seats on the board. The Utility Rate Advisory Board will now be apolitical.
A provision was written to include a city utility user whose property or leased premises is located outside the city limits.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö In July of 2012, Cindy Baker presented her plans for the United Way of Whitley County at the nonprofitŌĆÖs Annual Celebration of Giving.
At that time, she was new to her role as executive director. Fast forward a year to the 2013 annual breakfast ŌĆö Baker celebrated a long list of accomplishments for her first year with the United Way Tuesday.
ŌĆ£It really isnŌĆÖt about me. I am just one person,ŌĆØ Baker said. ŌĆ£It really is about all of you who have helped the United Way be successful.ŌĆØ
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Whitley CountyŌĆÖs SheriffŌĆÖs department will have some personnel changes in the next week.
The department will be promoting a second-shift sergeant today and plans to choose two new deputies for hire on Monday.
The sergeant position opened up last month after former second-shift sergeant, Jason Spencer, was promoted to detective.
Three deputies put in for the position ŌĆö Tony Helfrich, Cory Patrick and Scott Schmitt.
The candidates will go through a test on policies and procedures today, followed by an interview.

The city received three bids for the project, with NiblockŌĆÖs being the lowest. It was requested of the contract company that work be completed by the end of September, 2013.

Europe leads the United States on most things when it comes to tech. Officials across the Atlantic want consumers to be able to erase all their data from a company's servers if they choose to quit a service. Pay-as-you-go cell phones there are as common as the mobile contracts that, here, prevent Americans from switching networks for two years at a time.
But there's one area in which the United States has outmaneuvered Europe, and that's net neutrality. The Federal Communications Commission ruled as early as 2011 that slowing down certain types of traffic while privileging others was illegal. Internet providers complain in court that treating all traffic the same makes it harder for them to manage load efficiently at peak hours. But for most consumers, the idea that your cable company can't slowdown your movie provider comes as a relief.
Now, new rules being hashed out in the European parliament may set up something similar. Today in Brussels, the head of the EU's digital agenda commission introduced a series of principles broadly following Washington's proscription against data throttling or blockages.
"It's clear to me that many Europeans expect protection against such commercial tactics," said Neelie Kroes, the EU's top digital officer. "And that is exactly the EU safeguards we will be providing."
Where the U.S. regulations prohibit traffic discrimination, the European proposal goes one step further: It appears to make no distinction between wireless broadband—what you get on mobile devices—and wireline broadband, or what you get in your home.
That's unlike the American approach, which carved out a big exception for cell phone carriers such as Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint. The theory, according to an industry spokesperson, is that mobile traffic is sometimes a matter of life and death—a call to police outranks a text to friends.
Yet if Europe is somehow able to implement net neutrality rules without giving wireless carriers a pass, that'll set an important precedent for more stringent regulation here in the United States. With more Americans turning to 3G and 4G data services—and some going so far as to end their home subscriptions to broadband—the United States is going to have to revisit net neutrality for wireless carriers eventually.

There are some 'crimes' that cross all legal and moral boundaries----the Penn State child molestation case is one of those crimes. Yes, I think the corruption/coverup/cowardice engulfed the entire athletic department and the University hierarchy. Suspend the FB program for some number of years. Of course, that would take true leadership---something that is obviously in short supply in Happy Valley.
Hey fool, karma is cruel, isn't it? Paterno enabled a child molester. Do you want to write another self righteous article about the PSU child molester and his friends?

Your outgoing editor is a Yale Law School grad, and your incoming editor is a Harvard Law School grad. So the two schools' rivalry in the rankings is a subject of interest — and good-natured trash-talking — here in the office.
In a provocative post entitled Is the End Near for Yale's Dominance?, Professor Brian Leiter writes:
[T]he awakening of the sleeping giant Harvard Law School under Dean Kagan's tenure and its entry into the lateral market has meant that Yale now faces real competition at the very top. Add to that Yale's chronic vulnerability–namely, its location–and the eagerness of both Columbia and NYU to hire almost any Yale faculty member at the drop of a hat, and it does mean that Yale Law School will have to work harder than a generation ago to remain on top.
Yale will continue to be helped, to be sure, by the small school bias of US News, which has insured (through the per capita expenditures measure) that YLS has remained #1 in US News even in years when HLS has higher reputation scores. And until the changes in faculty quality translate into changes in clerkships and academic placement, one suspects that YLS will continue to have its pick of prospective law students for the foreseeable future.
Professor Bill Henderson agrees — and has the empirical support to back it up.
Read more, below the fold.
From his post on Empirical Legal Studies:
According to a simulation model of the 2008 U.S. News rankings, which Andy Morriss and I recently constructed, Harvard would not overtake Yale even if:
Harvard's median LSAT climbed to 180 and its median UGPA hit 4.0; Harvard's academic and lawyer-judge reputation scores were both a perfect 5.0; Harvard's acceptance rate plunged to less than 5%.
In fact, even with these changes, Yale would still have a nice leadership cushion.
You can read more, including an interesting meditation on whether any of this should even matter, over here. (Money quote: "It is so easy to get too caught up on the hamster wheel of envy and prestige without realizing that the energy expended does not necessarily produce anything of lasting social value.")

By Kim WalronU.S. Army Forces Command
FORT McPHERSON, Ga., Dec. 21, 2010 It was nearly 69 years ago that Seymour S. Lavine came here to enlist, hoping to do his part to end the second World War. He recently returned to collect the Bronze Star the Army said he was due for his heroism in the South Pacific.
Lavine, 98, was a sergeant with the Army's 37th Infantry Division on the island of Luzon in the Philippines on Jan. 9, 1945, when his unit was ambushed.
With enemy rifle fire snapping jungle branches and leaves all around them, Lavine said he knew that to stay where they were meant certain death for him and his fellow soldiers. He grabbed a Browning automatic rifle from the soldier behind him and yelled for the rest of his soldiers to run. Then, with the weapon at his hip, Lavine fired back at his attackers, covering the retreat of a dozen fleeing American soldiers who made it to safety, thanks to him.
"While this Bronze Star is being awarded for specific action on one particular day, it actually represents much more," Army Gen. James D. Thurman, commander of U.S. Army Forces Command, the Army's largest command, said during a Dec. 16 ceremony here for Lavine. "This medal is in recognition of the contribution of an ordinary man who became an extraordinary soldier because he chose to serve his nation and his fellow citizens. And, he did this during the most dangerous period of the 20th century."
The room was packed with soldiers from general to specialist. Their common thread was the enthusiastic way they gathered to pay tribute to a warrior from what has been called America's "Greatest Generation."
"Today, we have the honor to go back in history and reflect a little bit about a great solider," Thurman said. He noted that Lavine heard the news of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on his 29th birthday in 1941, and he enlisted shortly after in 1942.
After the medal presentation, Lavine shared memories of his service during World War II.
"One day I was leading a patrol," he said. "We came across a tribe of people that we found out [later] were cannibals." He paused and looked over his audience. "I'm not sure what it was they fed us for dinner, but I don't think I really wanted to!"
This brought howls of laughter and a hearty round of applause for Lavine.
"I have had a wonderful life," he said. "I've had more opportunities than many, and am so grateful to all of you."
When World War II broke out, Lavine quit his job selling clothing to department stores. He drove his 1939 Pontiac to Fort McPherson to enlist in the Army.
Lavine said he had no choice but to fight. "I knew what was happening in Europe," he said, referring to the Holocaust. "And I was Jewish."
Lavine was sent to the other side of the world after training where Japan had established a stronghold of islands across the Pacific. Fighting there was among the bloodiest, most violent of the war.
