Coach Mike Yeo gave the Wild a day off Wednesday, April 24, and nobody deserved it more than goaltender Niklas Backstrom.
He'll tell you he's not tired, but Backstrom has been in goal for each of Minnesota's past 13 games, and 25 of its past 26. He made several outstanding saves among his total of 22 that enabled the Wild to grab two points with a 2-1 home victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday night.
The win was Backstrom's 23rd, tied for second in the NHL.
Backstrom came up especially big after the Kings had pulled their goalie. Slave Voynov got open for a blast from inside the right faceoff circle with 12 seconds left in regulation, but Backstrom knocked it down.
"Actually, it hit my right calf," Backstrom said. "I don't know if that's from the goalie book."
The trick for a goalie, he says, is to believe that you can be in position to make the next save.
"And every now and then," he added, "you can be there."
Backstrom is having a terrific season; he has played 2,289 minutes, 30 seconds in 40 games, the sixth-highest ice time in the league.
And because regular backup Josh Harding has been out most of the season with problems related to his multiple sclerosis, Backstrom's role has been significant in the Wild closing in on their first playoff berth in five years.
Two points in their final two games will guarantee a spot, but the Wild could earn a playoff berth before they even take the ice against Edmonton in their final home game of the regular season Friday night.
Either way, Backstrom, 35, says he'll be ready to go.
"I feel pretty good," he said. "I don't think anyone has said to me that I've played too much. I don't think I feel it myself."
Backstrom, who played 71 of 82 games during the 2008-09 season, says he relishes a heavy workload.
"It's fun to play," he said. "I love the game. It's a challenge, for sure, to be ready to play every night, but as a player that's what you have to do."
Backstrom suffered losses in his previous two games but rebounded against the Kings to lower his goals-against average to 2.46 and raise his save percentage to .909. Those numbers are not far off his career highs of 2.42 and .918.
Never the acrobatic kind of goalie who lunges and dives for saves, Backstrom reads the play and puts himself in position.
That's exactly what Wild coach Mike Yeo saw from him against the Kings.
"I thought he had a sense of control and an air of confidence," Yeo said. "He was there for us."
Less than 15 minutes into the first period, Backstrom got his pads on a side-open shot by Jeff Carter to keep the the game scoreless, and barely five minutes remained in the second period when Backstrom gloved a bullet from the left circle off the stick of Jordan Nolan.
"It's for the guys," Backstrom said. "They're going to be there for me, so when they need me, I have to be there for them. That's my job."

Injured Everton defender Leighton Baines is hoping to return from a broken toe and play some part in the busy festive schedule. "The manager said early on it's quite a broad timeframe that you can be looking at," he said.
"We thought about different things, injections and stuff , but we didn't know whether that would set me back further so we are just trying to let it heal naturally at the moment.
"Obviously the schedule thickens up around Christmas and New Year so you like to think you would be back and available to help the team at that point, but it's just one of those things. You have to wait and see.
"I've not been able to do a lot to treat it because it's a break, so I've just sort of tried to see how it heals really and take it a day at a time.
"It's been pretty dull because you can't do a lot. There isn't that much treatment so it's just been a case of coming in and doing little bits of work in the gym and just hoping it recovers."
"I have found it really difficult not being involved," he told evertontv.
"You do miss it but I have been quite lucky the last few seasons with injuries. I am trying to use the time as best I can."

Warmboard is an excellent value when considered as part of a complete radiant system. Of course given the quality of the plywood we begin with, the amount of highly conductive aluminum in each panel and quality of our manufacturing process, Warmboard is not inexpensive when considered as a single element of your radiant system. But the numerous job site and system efficiencies, which are inherent to Warmboard result in the highest performance for a bottom line cost that is competitive with systems that simply do not perform as well. Click here to read more.
What our customers say:
"Clearly it would have taken me several additional weeks had I not chosen Warmboard."
We could not be happier. I cannot fathom either installing a gypsum concrete floor or putting in a staple-up all by my lonesome as I was able to do with Warmboard. Although time is not really money for me, time is something I was able to factor in on my materials selections. In essence I was not buying improved materials I was buying materials which improved my time towards a completion date. This was my end goal because clearly it would have taken me several additional weeks had I not chosen Warmboard. We had a lot of ups and downs in the process of building...you and the Warmboard folks definitely being one of the ups. - Cal T., Florence, OR

Visiting our Farmers' market 15 days ago, I bought some fresh, tender spinach to make a Spinach salad I saw my friend Val of More than Burnt Toast prepared and it was so good. I chose only the most tender leaves to prepare it and with the rest I made an extra cheesy spanakopita. After making the salad, I still had some fresh spinach leaves and what better than make a spinach pesto. Today Val posted her Broccoli Pesto and that gave me the desire to post the dish I prepared yesterday, Spaghetti with anchovies and capers.
This is my participation for the event EAT FRESH, WONDERFUL WINTER, hosted by What's for Lunch Honey.
Spinach Pesto
2 cups rough chopped fresh baby leaf spinach
3 spoonfuls of fresh parsley
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup walnuts
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 cup olive oil
1/5 cup of wine vinegar
Put parsley, parmesan, walnuts, garlic, salt to food vinegar. Mix until smooth. Add olive oil, and half spinach to mixture. Blend until smooth. Add remaining half of spinach and blend until smooth.
This recipe makes 2 cups of pesto. Refrigerate remaining pesto in a glass jar. Pour a thin layer of olive oil over the top. Pesto will keep in the refrigerator for up to four weeks. Additionally, you can freeze pesto in small freezer bags by filling 3/4 full, laying flat, squeezing out the air and sealing. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight, not in the microwave.

Ooh never heard of spinach pesto, sounds wonderful Ivy!
I think you can make pestos out of many ingredients, parsley, coriander, broccoli, basil, peppers etc.
See Ivy, nothing wrong with raw spinach…the pesto sounds lovely.
Blogging is wonderful, I am getting to learn and like so many things.
I agree with you Ivy! I'm also learning and experimenting so many new things!!! Spinach Pesto Bookmarked!!!!
Have a great day darling!
That's what I've been thinking. I've learned so many things over these few months.
I was out all afternoon, just came back from paining lesson. Thanks have a nice evening.
Ooops Thank God there are no paining lessons, maybe it's slang for painting…
Tag sweetie, afraid you're it!
This spinach pesto would be so delicious. I would not have thought to make pesto from spinach, but, then 1 week or 2 ago I would not have thought to make broccoli pesto either 😀 We learn so much from our blogging 😀 It is so nice to have a "sis" like you 😀
Today I learned the Broccoli pesto from you and you learned the spinach pesto from me. It's great how many things we learn every day.

I have to chuckle when I read in The Star Press that there is a shortage of nurses. LPNs seem to be a thing of the past.
I graduated from The Muncie School of Practical Nursing in 1959, when LPNs were regarded as good, competent nurses. Yes, folks, the N didn't mean nerd, it meant nurse! At times, we were referred to as "glorified nurses aides." How rude!
As the years went by we continued with our educations and our titles were changed to Qualified LPNs. We were respected and we gained many skills that RNs could only perform.
Then, a few years ago, someone decided LPNs could no longer be hired at the only hospital in Muncie. The ones who were working there had to become RNs or leave.
Nursing homes and some doctor's offices still welcome LPNs. Of course, medical assistants work in these places, also.
RNs are taught to delegate, and LPNs used to be the nurses the RNs delegated the hard work to. There are hard-working RNs, but many RNs continue their educations so they can get into areas of nursing that doesn't require them to do patient care.
There is a shortage of nurses, that's true, but the shortage wouldn't be so bad if LPNs were still accepted as the good nurses they are. They have to graduate from an accredited nursing school and pass state board exams just like RNs do. I retired in 2004 from Ball Hospital and I loved my job.

Myths about mental illness
ADHS Behavioral Health Services Blog
News from ADHS/DBHS - August 15th, 2014 by Claudia Sloan
There are many myths about mental illness. Sadly, these myths (and the stigma resulting from these myths) are often the primary reason why a person doesn't seek help. A common myth is that mental illnesses are a rare thing. The fact is that a mental illness is a disorder of the brain and 1 in 5 adults every year get diagnosed with one of these illnesses. You are more likely to meet someone who has a mental health challenge than someone who has heart disease!
Another common myth is that all persons with mental illness are violent. There's research out there showing that the vast majority of people living with mental health conditions are no more violent than anyone else. People with mental illness are much more likely to be the victims of crime.
Like most diseases of the body, mental illness has many causes – genetics, biological, environmental, social, cultural, etc. And also, like most diseases of the body, some mental illnesses can be prevented and respond positively to early intervention and treatment.
The most important fact is that mental illnesses can be treated! Proper interventions and treatment help persons affected by them lead full and productive lives.

Romney's infamous remarks that 47 percent of Americans "believe they are victims" and will never "take personal responsibility and care for their lives" are drawing heat from both sides of the political spectrum.
What's drawing the heat? It's something being thought about but not yet openly discussed - it's the fact that they border on hatred.

Great Alaska IditaRoll Drive
The Wayland Baptist University (WBU) Society for Human Resource Management Student Chapter commits itself to helping the community of Anchorage, Alaska.
Our Student Chapter holds an annual event called the Great Alaska IditaRoll Drive named after the famous Alaska Dog Sled race, the Iditarod. This drive focuses on one important thing we'd miss if we ran out: toilet paper. Every winter we go all-out to collect toilet paper to donate to the local shelter Beans Cafe. For those who don't already know, Bean's Cafe's mission is to feed the hungry and shelter the homeless without discrimination during the day. The cafe uses 150 rolls of toilet paper per day which totals to about 56,000 rolls in a year. As members of the WBU SHRM Student Chapter, we help by seeking donations of toilet paper from students, staff, faculty and local businesses.
The first year our Chapter started this drive (2011) our goal was to collect a roll of toilet paper for every mile of the Iditarod - approximately 1,150 miles. Wayland met this goal within days, and by the end of the drive significantly surpassed that and donated a total of 4,657 rolls of toilet paper to Bean's Cafe on March 14, 2011. In 2012, we collected and donated over 4,580 rolls of toilet paper. Since the need for toilet paper has almost doubled since we started three years ago, our goal this year is to double the amount we need to collect - 10,000 rolls!! Wayland can't do that alone - we need your help.
I'm a firm believer in helping out the community, as I am sure you are as well. I know there are many needs in every community, and toilet paper seems marginal compared to others - but it is still a necessity that will not go away. Therefore, we are going beyond the walls of WBU and asking the community to partner with us in this event. Please join our effort and become part of the third annual Great Alaska IditaRoll Drive.
Please make donations at either the Main Campus in Anchorage or the Matsu-Valley Campus from February 1st to March 28, 2013. Whatever can be contributed will be deeply appreciated. The Student Chapter members, on behalf of the Anchorage Campus, Wayland Baptist University will deliver the toilet paper to Bean's Cafe on March 28, 2013.
Thank you,
Brittany Sogge

White-throated sparrows tend to have brighter plumage as they get older. They are a common winter visitor to the mid-Hudson Valley.

Scuttling about beneath bird feeders throughout the Hudson Valley region are dozens of what my red-winged-blackbird-loving colleague affectionately refers to as "little-brown-jobs," otherwise known as sparrows to the rest of us bird-loving folks.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) — Officials at NASA have admitted that they didn't follow their own rules and agreements when the agency spent $352 million to refurbish a test stand in Mississippi when cheaper ones were available in Huntsville, Ala. and in California.
AL.com reported Thursday that although NASA officials say they didn't follow their own rules, they made the right decision. NASA didn't follow an agreement with the Department of Defense to share rocket facilities when possible to save tax money, according to a report issued by NASA Inspector General Paul Martin.
The agency is spending the money to upgrade the B-2 test stand at the John C. Stennis Center and Martin said that will be more expensive than the two existing options.

East Union runs to win over Houlka
By Dennis Clayton
East Union had several new faces in the lineup and in the backfield, but that didn't prevent them from running over and around the visiting Houlka Wildcats on Friday night. Coach Scott Duley said "I thought our boys showed a lot of heart and it was the most disciplined that I have ever seen us for a first game. You can tell that the young men from East Union are getting better at playing football."
The first half highlights belonged mostly to Blake Spruill and Jacob Elder as they both scored two touchdowns. Elder hauled in a 43-yard strike from quarterback D.J. Armstrong with 5:52 remaining in the first quarter to help the Urchins break on top. Spruill added the PAT and East Union led 7-0.
Spruill scored with 2:08 left in the opening quarter on a 33-yard run to put the Urchins up 13-0. the PAT was missed. Houlka then scored their lone touchdown of the night on a Wyatt Esterley to Tyreque Reed pass of 65 yards. The two point conversion failed and the score stood at 13-6 after one quarter of play. East Union scored two touchdowns in the second quarter on touchdown runs of 8 yards by Spruill and 21 yards by Elder. Armstrong added a two point conversion and Spruill added the PAT after the fourth touchdown of the game. The teams went to half with East Union leading 28-6.
Spruill had issues with leg cramps in the second half and gave way to Jamie McCullough, who promptly sped through defenders on a 34-yard TD run at 10:52 left in the third quarter. East Union recovered a Houlka fumble at the Wildcat 22 and after a couple of running plays by McCullough got East Union down to the seven yard line, Armstrong scored on a scamper around the right side of the offensive line for a 7-yd touchdown.
Spuill finished the night with 13 carries for 171 yards and two TD's. Elder had one rushing TD on two carries for 57 yards and his TD reception of 43 yards. McCullough had 11 carries for 146 yards and a touchdown. Quarterback D.J. Armstrong was 5 of 7 passing for 75 yards and a touchdown. Armstrong also carried the ball five times for 50 yards and a touchdown.
East Union travels to Middleton, Tenn. for next week's game. Middleton suffered a 59-29 loss to Falkner Friday.

From the API doc: The finalize method is never invoked more than once by a Java virtual machine for any given object.
Originally posted by Bishal P: The finalize method is invoked by the Garbage Collector when it has determined that an object is no longer used and can be garbage collected. Since one object can be garbage collected only once, the finalize method will also be invoked only once For more information check out the API
You might want to do other things in finalize() which should only be performed once - e.g. you could decrement a count of living objects, or invoke the close() method on some other resource that can only be closed once. (Though most close() methods are written so that a second close() simply has no effect.)
What is finalize( ) for? So, if you should not use finalize( ) as a general-purpose cleanup method, what good is it? Feedback A third point to remember is: 3. Garbage collection is only about memory. That is, the sole reason for the existence of the garbage collector is to recover memory that your program is no longer using. So any activity that is associated with garbage collection, most notably your finalize( ) method, must also be only about memory and its deallocation. Feedback Does this mean that if your object contains other objects, finalize( ) should explicitly release those objects? Well, no�the garbage collector takes care of the release of all object memory regardless of how the object is created. It turns out that the need for finalize( ) is limited to special cases in which your object can allocate some storage in some way other than creating an object. But, you might observe, everything in Java is an object, so how can this be? Feedback It would seem that finalize( ) is in place because of the possibility that you�ll do something C-like by allocating memory using a mechanism other than the normal one in Java. This can happen primarily through native methods, which are a way to call non-Java code from Java. (Native methods are covered in Appendix B in the electronic 2nd edition of this book, available on this book�s CD ROM and at www.BruceEckel.com.) C and C++ are the only languages currently supported by native methods, but since they can call subprograms in other languages, you can effectively call anything. Inside the non-Java code, C�s malloc( ) family of functions might be called to allocate storage, and unless you call free( ), that storage will not be released, causing a memory leak. Of course, free( ) is a C and C++ function, so you�d need to call it in a native method inside your finalize( ). Feedback After reading this, you probably get the idea that you won�t use finalize( ) much.[22] You�re correct; it is not the appropriate place for normal cleanup to occur. So where should normal cleanup be performed? Feedback You must perform cleanup To clean up an object, the user of that object must call a cleanup method at the point the cleanup is desired. This sounds pretty straightforward, but it collides a bit with the C++ concept of the destructor. In C++, all objects are destroyed. Or rather, all objects should be destroyed. If the C++ object is created as a local (i.e., on the stack�not possible in Java), then the destruction happens at the closing curly brace of the scope in which the object was created. If the object was created using new (like in Java), the destructor is called when the programmer calls the C++ operator delete (which doesn�t exist in Java). If the C++ programmer forgets to call delete, the destructor is never called, and you have a memory leak, plus the other parts of the object never get cleaned up. This kind of bug can be very difficult to track down, and is one of the compelling reasons to move from C++ to Java. Feedback

Should E-mail Still Be Free?
Page 6 of 7
'E-Mail As We Know It Is Dying'
By Barry Shein
June 16, 2003
As someone who manages an Internet service provider, my perspective on spam is a little different than many you've seen in the press. For example, in the Technology Review article, Evan Schwartz writes about dictionary attacks, wherein a spammer guesses mailbox names by sending to john1, john2, john3, and so on. Probably 99 percent or more of those millions of guesses are going to just bounce back with a user unknown error.Unfortunately, the return addresses to send those errors to are invariably phony so the mail cannot be returned. Who do you think looks up all those address guesses? Who tries to return those millions of bounces for days? Servers such as ours. Our systems get choked with this non-stop effluvia.
It is this sort of problem which makes spam like the proverbial iceberg. The junk in your mailbox is just the tip of that iceberg. Lying beneath the surface are the 99,999 guesses the spammer made to discover your mailbox. As Paul Judge points out in the article, this is likely to grow worse as spammers work harder to get around anti-spam schemes.
From this perspective I'll make two observations about the spam situation:
The first is that fraud and criminality are inherent in spam. Spam is organized crime come to the Internet. To you, it may be a come-on for a mortgage or body enhancement product you don't want. To me, it's 200 or more computers simultaneously spewing that same message at our servers. The spammer doesn't own 200 computers. These computers are often infected with viruses turning them into unwitting spam slaves. This, and exploiting misconfigured server software, is not the behavior of a new breed of businessperson just trying to make a living on the cyber-frontier. These are the machinations of sociopathic criminals.
My second observation is that, from this front-row seat on the problem, it looks like e-mail as we know it is dying. Ultimately it won't just be these criminals who killed e-mail. They're just the first wave. Next will come the real, professional, marketeers. The ones with the millions, and in some cases billions, of dollars in their ad budgets.
Even so-called "opt-in mail," where the recipient explicitly asks for the material, is doomed.
Consider the analogy of the U.S. Postal Service. Will they deliver a magazine or catalog to you for free just because you subscribed or had a bona-fide business relationship with the sender? Then how well is this going to work with e-mail? Your web of e-relationships grows as time goes on, it doesn't diminish. Marketeers never forget a contact, particularly when sending out ads is virtually free. The volume is only going to increase. Add in multi-media mail and the future doesn't look good for this free-for-all.
The current model of e-mail is doomed. It was a nice experiment but it didn't work out. What we need to do now is move to a sender-pays model, perhaps with some allowance for bona-fide personal usage.

Northern Westchester's Stanley Tucci in front of his home's outdoor pizza oven. He and his parents, Joan and Stan, wrote 'The Tucci Cookbook,' a collection of family recipes, with chef Gianni Scappin. / Francesco Tonelli
A good cause
The Tucci Cookbook (Gallery Books, $35) has a new foreword by Mario Batali, who is on the board of the Food Bank for New York City with Tucci. Twenty-five percent of the cookbooks profits go to the charity. Our local food banks include Food Bank for Westchester (http://www.foodbankforwestchester.org) and, in Rockland, People to People (www.peopleto peopleinc.org).
Stanley Tucci slides into a seat at the Barn, the cozy café at the Bedford Post Inn, still smiling after running into the inns owners in the parking lot.
For him, the chance meeting was a quick catch-up with friends, but because the owners happen to be actors Richard Gere, and his wife, Carey Lowell, the encounter was also a perfect storm of celebrity sightings for everyone else.
I cant believe it, says Tucci. I havent seen Richard in forever, and we live 10 minutes away from each other.
The suggestion of lunch at Bedford Post isnt because of Tuccis A-list connections, though. Its close to the northern Westchester home that he shares with his three school-age children, and his wife, literary agent Felicity Blunt (whose younger sister is Emily Blunt, Tuccis co-star in The Devil Wears Prada). And, more importantly, hes a big fan of the inns sophisticated, farm-to-table fare.
Maybe Ill have a glass of rosé, he says, choosing a 2011 Domaine Pelaquie Tavel from Frances Rhone Valley.
These days, Tuccis infatuation with food is as powerful as his film work is successful. His career has skyrocketed in recent years with roles in The Hunger Games, Julie & Julia, and of course, The Lovely Bones, which earned him a 2010 Oscar nomination. But long before those pictures turned him into one of Hollywoods most sought-after supporting actors, he made a name for himself by co-writing, co-producing and co-starring in the 1996 independent hit, Big Night, the poignant story of two immigrant brothers trying to make it as restaurateurs in 1950s New Jersey.
The movie is a love letter to Tuccis Italian-American heritage, especially the tradition of bonding with family over food. He spent his childhood listening to relatives argue for hours about what to cook for a meal, and he can still vividly recall helping his maternal grandparents pick carrots and slaughter chickens at their Verplanck homestead.
Yet shooting Big Night was what unwittingly kick-started an obsession. As I get older I want to cook more and more. And I want to know more and more about food, he says. I thought, in a weird way, after Big Night I would have been cured of that. But in fact, what it did was open something up in me that I cant seem to close. Nor do I now want to close it.
So his latest passion project isnt a new film, but The Tucci Cookbook, a collection of nearly 200 recipes gathered from the kitchens of his parents, Katonah residents Joan and Stan Tucci, and Gianni Scappin, the head chef at Manhattans now-closed Le Madri, whom Tucci befriended while researching Big Night. (It was also written with Mimi Shanley Taft.)
The book is a broader, more polished version of 1999s Cucina & Famiglia, written by Joan and Scappin after fans kept asking about the delicious-looking meals depicted in Big Night. After the original went out of print, Tucci says people still asked where to find it. But he never liked the first books dark, heavy look, so Blunt helped him look into having it republished.
Now, the reissue features slick photographs, along with wine pairings by Tyler Colman (a medium or full white goes best with the risotto with butternut squash, lobster and sage, the first dish that Tucci recalls Scappin cooking for him). Thankfully, what havent changed are the authentic Italian recipes, or the family anecdotes that accompany each one.
Theres prosciutto with figs, with Tuccis description of his grandfathers painstaking way of caring for his backyard fig trees; eggplant antipasto, which his mother made for his wedding to Kate, his first wife and mother of his children, who died from breast cancer in 2009; and lasagna verde, a dish made with spinach noodles that the family discovered in Bologna and is still a favorite at birthday dinners.
My mothers original title was Take a Can of Tomatoes says Tucci. Are some (recipes) more complicated? Yes, but mostly, if you have a minimal understanding of how to cook, its very easy to use. Thats what I like about it. Its not rarified in any way.
Unless hes away filming, Tucci cooks every day. In fact, he apologizes for being a few minutes late because he was meeting with a contractor about renovating his already expansive kitchen. Its where he and Blunt spend most of their time and the two revel in trying new things together.
Last night, I made lamb chops, and we pickled for the first time. I got stuff from the garden lots of the Italian broad beans and we pickled those and these green tomatoes. And two days in a row, I made fried green tomatoes, he says.
Before his smoked salmon niçoise salad arrives, Tucci surveys an array of starters seasoned olives, sopresata, fresh mozzarella sent over by executive chef Jeremy McMillan. He eagerly nibbles a radish dipped in anchovy butter I like them with a ton of salt but is left gasping when a flaming-hot fish pepper slips down his throat.
You almost had to call an ambulance, he says, laughing, as McMillan stops by to say hello. Im not a big spicy, spicy person.
Stay away from this one, warns McMillan, pointing to a creamy ball of nduja, a fiery, spreadable pork sausage.
The two chat a bit about McMillans recent trip to northern Spain, where bottles of 30-year-old Rioja wine cost about 20 euros, or $25 U.S. dollars. That would set you back $200 or $300 in the city, says McMillan.
I have to go, enthuses Tucci. I have to go.
Growing up, however, it was time spent living in Italy that changed his life.
In 1973, when Tucci was 12, his father an art teacher at Chappaquas Horace Greeley High School received a sabbatical to study sculpture in Florence and moved the family there for a year. Tucci and his two sisters enrolled in local schools, became fluent in Italian and immersed themselves in the countrys culture and cuisine.
Focaccia I would have it as a snack after school every day, he says. Youd walk out and there was this guy with a little cart, and hed have pieces of focaccia in individual bags that was heavily salted and oiled. It was absolutely delicious.
Later on, Tuccis father agrees that the trip had a profound influence on his children, as well as on Joans cooking.
So does he have any favorite recipes from the cookbook?
My wife always says whenever I sit down and eat, I say, This is my favorite, says Stanley Sr. I have a lot of favorites.
But he does express fondness for the simple uova al pomodoro (poached eggs in tomato sauce) and linguine con topolini (linguine with veal rolls). And, naturally, the dramatic timpano, a drum of ziti, eggs, meat and cheese that his son made famous in Big Night and the family still serves on holidays.
Tucci is deciding what his next cookbook will be about, and preparing to shoot the second Hunger Games installment. (His next releases include the Robert Redford-directed thriller, The Company You Keep, and a remake of Gambit, scripted by Joel and Ethan Coen.)
And then theres the matter of a second wedding: He and Blunt, who is British, were quietly married by a justice of the peace at home in August. But the two recently had a formal ceremony in London with a reception at a prime Italian restaurant, naturally and their hope is to eventually move there.
A bonus, he chuckles, is that London has shed its reputation for lousy food.
Its a food mecca, he says. You get so many influences just from the remains of their empire alone. I think its really extraordinary and I cant wait to go back there.

Transferring large files
Listen to this week's Tips & Tricks segment as broadcasted on JQ99.
Computer files today are huge. Ever put a video together and try to send it to family and friends? Often these large files aren't even allowed to be sent by your email provider (most email providers don't allow attachments larger than 10MB). Or if they do go through it gets bounced back because it exceeds the recipient's mailbox size.
Trying to send these large files can be a real headache. While the recipient may have the ability for you to send your file via FTP, this is probably not very likely. Even so, using an FTP application is not always very easy for most people. Sure, you could burn the files to a DVD, but this is time consuming and may not work within the time constraints you are under.
As an alternative there are services that make it easy to transfer files up to their servers and allows your recipients to download the files. One company that offers this service that is recommend is called YouSendIt. There are a number of reasons why sending large files this way is beneficial.
The primary reason of course is file size. You can send and receive files that are up to 2GB with YouSendIt.
There is tracking capabilities. Once you have uploaded a file, you can track when the files have been downloaded.
Set expiration dates or limit how many times the files can be downloaded.
You can even password protect your files and get return receipts.
There are a number of applications and plug-ins you can use. For example, there is a desktop application that allows you to quickly drag and drop your files onto for easy sending. There are also plug-ins that allow you to send your files right from PhotoShop, Outlook, Acrobat, and more.
YouSendIt has a free service available if you don't need to send regular files. The free version has some limitations though including a 100MB file size maximum. It you plan on sending files regularly they have plans that start at $9.95 a month. If you need to send a larger than 100MB, but don't want to pay for a monthly subscription, they have a pay per use option too.

BP over a barrel as oil leak estimate hits 60k
London - The "most likely" flow rate of oil from BP's damaged Deepwater Horizon subsea well in the Gulf of Mexico is now estimated at between 35,000 and 60,000 barrels per day.
The figures, which are based on updated information and scientific assessment, represent a major hike in previous estimates – the leak was generally reckoned to be around 18,000 b/d, less than a week ago.
The latest flow rate estimate from US authorities is based on a combination of analyses of high resolution videos taken by remote operating vehicles (ROVs), acoustic technologies, and measurements of oil collected by the oil production ship together with pressure measurements inside the top hat.
In particular, the "improved" estimates are informed by newly available, detailed pressure measurements from within the Deepwater Horizon's failed blowout preventer (BOP) system taken over the past 24 hours – BP had previously signalled efforts to install pressure sensors in one of the lines being used to inject methanol to prevent the formation of hydrates in a lower marine riser package (LMRP) cap now in place on the BOP.
Scientists have also been able to draw on more than a week of data about the amount of oil being collected through the top hat, added a joint statement by US secretary of energy Steven Chu, secretary of the interior Ken Salazar, and chair of the National Incident Command's Flow Rate Technical Group (FRTG) Dr. Marcia McNutt, director of the US Geological Survey.
"As we continue to collect additional data and refine these estimates, it is important to realise that the numbers can change," said US energy secretary Steven Chu."In particular, the upper number is less certain - which is exactly why we have been planning for the worst case scenario at every stage and why we are continuing to focus on responding to the upper end of the estimate, plus additional contingencies."
The US government has demanded that BP's containment capacity reaches 40,000-53,000 b/d by the end of June and 60,000-80,000 b/d by mid-July.
BP has installed two systems to collect oil and gas flowing from the MC252 well and transport them to vessels on the surface.
The LMRP containment cap located on top of the failed blow-out preventer (BOP). This system, which was installed on 3 June, takes oil and gas to the Discoverer Enterprise.
A second system, which started on 16 June, is connected directly to the BOP and carries oil and gas through a manifold and hoses to the Q4000 vessel on the surface. The Q4000 uses a specialised clean-burning system to flare both oil and gas captured by this second system.
The total volume of oil recovered from both the LMRP containment cap system and the Q4000 since they became operational is approximately 249,500 barrels. Officials have previously estimated that the LMRP cap could capture up to 18,000 b/d, and that the Q4000 could expand total leak containment capacity to 20,000-28,000 b/d.
Work on a first relief well, which started 2 May, continues and has currently reached a measured depth of 15,936 feet. A second relief well, which started 16 May, is at a measured depth of 10,000 feet. Both wells are still estimated to take approximately three months to complete from commencement of drilling.
BP, meanwhile, continues to caution that the LMRP containment cap – an engineered containment device with a sealing grommet – and the Q4000 have never been deployed at these depths (5000ft) and conditions before, and its efficiency and ability to contain the oil and gas could not be assured. Process animation – Click 'back button to return to this page
The success of the LMRP follows a failed bid stop the leak by pumping over 30,000 barrels of heavy mud at rates of up to 80 barrels a minute, and deploying a wide range of different bridging materials, the 'top kill' operation on the failed BOP did not overcome the flow from the well.
Engineers had previously achieved partial success through the use of an RITT used at the well, which at one stage was drawing off 3000 b/d of oil. The RITT - a five foot long steel pipe with specially designed rubber baffles - was placed in the end of the leaking riser on 16 May, allowing oil and gas to flow up to the drillship Discoverer.
The recovery rate, however, subsequently dropped off due to issues relating to the flow parameters and physical characteristics within the riser in deep sea conditions.
US government investigators continue to interview witnesses regarding the incident. These have reportedly included: a worker on the Deepwater Horizon rig, who alleged that BP had taken risky shortcuts in its drilling procedures prior to the explosion; and another alleging that there were unusually pressure readings coming from the wellhead in the hours before the blast.
The investigation earlier uncovered "significant problems" with the BOP - the supposedly fail safe system installed to cut off the flow of oil and gas to the Deepwater Horizon drill rig.
The BOP has multiple rams that are supposed to slam shut to pinch off any flow around the drill pipe and stop the flow of oil from the well. There are also shear rams in the BOP that are supposed to cut and seal the pipe to
prevent oil and gas from flowing.
"We know that the blowout preventer, the BOP, did not properly engage," US congressman Bart Stupak, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, told a hearing to
examine the causes of the incident.
BP was leasing the rig to drill an exploratory well in the Gulf of Mexico.The rig was owned and operated by Transocean, the world's largest offshore drilling company, and was under contract from BP. Two days after the blast, the rig capsized and sank to the floor of the ocean. The accident resulted in 11 fatalities and oil leaks from three separate locations among the twisted wreckage.
According to Stupak, US investigators have found that the BOP appeared to have a significant leak in a key hydraulic system. This leak was found in the hydraulic system that provides emergency power to the shear rams, which are supposed to cut the drill pipe and seal the well.
A senior official at Cameron, which manufactured the BOP, told investigators that when the remote operating vehicles (ROVs) tried to operate the shear rams, they noticed a loss of pressure. They investigated this by injecting dye into the hydraulic fluid, which showed a large leak coming from a loose fitting, which was backed off several turns.
The leak did not seem to have been caused by the blowout because every other fitting in the system was tight, according to the Cameron official, who believed this was one of several possible failure modes: the leak depriving the shear rams of sufficient power, so that they could not cut through the drill pipe and seal the well.
Secondly, the investigation learnt that the BOP had been modified in potentially significant ways. The device has an underwater control panel. BP spent a day trying to use this control panel to activate a variable bore ram on the BOP, which should seal tight around any pipe in the well.
When BP investigated why their attempts to activate the bore ram failed, they learnt that the device had been modified. A useless test ram - rather then the variable bore ram - had been connected to the socket that was supposed to activate the variable bore ram.
Thirdly, the US team learnt that the BOP was not powerful enough to cut through joints in the drill pipe. They cited a Transocean document that stated: most blind shear rams (BSRs) are "designed to shear effectively only on the body of the drillpipe. Procedures for the use of BSRs must therefore ensure that there is no tool joint opposite the ram prior to shearing."
"This seemed astounding to us because the threaded joints between the sections of drillpipe make up about 10% of the length of the pipe. If the shear rams cannot cut through the joints, that would mean that this so-called failsafe device would succeed in cutting the drillpipe only 90% of the time," Stupak told the hearing.
"We asked the Cameron official about the cutting capacity of the blowout preventer on the Deepwater Horizon. He confirmed that it is not powerful enough to cut through the joints in the drillpipe. And he told us this was another possible explanation for the failure of the blowout preventer to seal the well, the congressman added.
A fourth finding was that the emergency controls on the BOP may have failed. The BOP has two emergency controls. One is called the emergency disconnect system (EDS). BP officials told investigators that that the EDS was activated on the drill rig before the rig was evacuated.
"But the Cameron official said they doubted the signals ever reached the blowout preventer on the seabed," said Stupak. "Cameron officials believed the explosion on the rig destroyed the communications link to the blowout preventer before the emergency sequence could be completed. In other words, the emergency controls may have failed because the explosion that caused the emergency also disabled communications to the blowout preventer."
Meanwhile, the BOP also has a "deadman switch" which is supposed to activate the shutoff system when all else fails. But, according to Cameron, there were multiple scenarios that could have caused the deadman switch not to activate. One was human oversight: the deadman switch may not have been enabled on the control panel prior to the BOP being installed on the ocean floor. Another is lack of maintenance: the deadman switch won't work if the batteries are dead.
The deadman switch is connected to two separate control pods on the BOP. Both rely on battery power to operate. When one of the control pods was removed and inspected after the spill began, the battery was found to be dead. The battery in the other pod has not been inspected yet.
Another issue concerns the design. The deadman switch activates only when three separate lines that connect the rig to the BOP are all severed: the communication, power, and hydraulic lines. Cameron believes the power and communication lines were severed in the explosion, but it is possible the hydraulic lines remained intact, which would have stopped the deadman switch from activating.
"These are not the only failure scenarios that could impair the function of the BOP," said Stupak. "The Cameron official we met with described many other potential problems that could have prevented the blowout preventer from functioning properly. Steel casing or casing hanger could have been ejected from the well and blocked the operation of the rams.
"The drill pipe could have been severed successfully, but then dropped from the rig, breaking the seal. Or operators on the rig could have tried to activate the shear rams by pushing the shear ram control button. This would have initiated an attempt to close the rams, but it would not have been successful. The shear rams do not have enough power to cut drill pipe unless they are activated through the emergency switch or the deadman switch."
Stupak also revealed an "astonishing document" that Transocean prepared in 2001, when it bought the BOP from Cameron. It said there were 260 separate "failure modes" that "could require pulling of the BOP." According to this report, "the predominant failures" included "ram locking mechanisms."
"How can a device that has 260 failure modes be considered failsafe?" the congressman asked.
Problems with the BOP were also found to extend to the procedures for testing the device. The CEO of Transocean, Steven Newman, said in a testimony: "we have no reason to believe that they were not operational - they were jointly tested by BP and Transocean personnel as specified on April 10 and 17 and found to be functional."
But this assertion seemed to be contradicted by a document prepared by BP on 27 April, one week after the explosion. According to this document, "BOP stack emergency systems are not typically tested once the BOP stack is on the seabed."
"What this means that while some functions on the BOP may have been tested in the weeks before the explosion, the emergency systems, including the deadman system and the leaking emergency hydraulic system, were unlikely to have been tested," Stupak concluded.
Readers' comments (12)
Same old save money by not following all procedures. Their thinking was that this peice of tech wouldn't fail. If it did, we'll get the oil to stop and fix it. Typical money grubbing logic.
This is another prime example of BP telling us in advance that they have already sabotaged the top-kill strategy, or never expected it to work at all. BP hasn't put forth a single plan aside from this (very poor) one to actually -STOP- the oil leak, but they've put into action a whole bunch of different half-cracked schemes to continue collecting the oil.
This is not about stopping the oil. The amount they're going to have to pay out at this point is likely at its legislated maximum. At this point they're just trying to pull up enough of the black sticky to help pay for the efforts before it all leaks into the ocean.
They care far less about the shrimp and fisheries than they do about a cushion for the impact their wallets are about to suffer.
For those of you who think BP is trying to get money from the oil, think again. Lets imagine that BP is lying through their teeth and really they know that the well is leaking at 10 times the estimated rate, that is at 50,000 barrels a day. Further lets imagine that their RITT system can capture 100% of the oil rather than just a fraction.
Crude is currently around 50 pounds a barrel. So in this extreme case BP would be collecting 2.5 million pounds worth of crude per day. And they are paying a lot more than that in cleanup costs per day!
Realistically they are collecting between 2 and 3 thousand barrels of crude a day worth 150,000 pounds. They spend more than that every hour on the cleanup effort.
If they could have stopped the well earlier they would have.
Good Luck on the Kill-Shot!!!!
I have a concern:
The Drill-Pipe which was in the Well-Bore at the time of accident is still in the Well-Bore. That Drill-Pipe is hollow and "empty" [unobstructed].
the other end of Said Drill-Pipe is Laying on the sea-bed and has been capped.
Two issues: 1. are we certain that said "Cap" can withstand the pressure of the mud you will be pumping. 2. is there some means of anchoring it just incase the caps comes off. If the cap comes off that lose drill-pipe could whip around like a lose water hose and take out a bunch of equipment.
The thought is like this: If we do manage to pump the heavy mud down to the end of the Drill-Pipe; That same mud might travel up that Drill-Pipe thru the BOP and Riser and to the Capped end of the Drill-Pipe laying on the Sea Bed Floor. If the Pressure is high enough, it could blow the Cap off the Drill-Pipe. this could propel the Drill-Pipe rather like a lose water hose.
We don't want that!
We need enough time to double check the Cap on the Drill-Pipe which is laying free on sea-bed floor;
Something to tie the Drill-Pipe to something, so it can't come lose and damage equipment and your efforts.
You have all the expertise required.
To better understand my point: find the BP graphic which has two(2) pictures of the BOP. the one with the Black rectangle in the upper left corner. just below that black rectangle, you can see the Drill-Pipe with the caption: Capped Drill-Pipe. that is what I'm referring too see Link - lower left corner
50 years in exploration worldwide, or as you may say 50 years of mistakes (including the cigarette lighter, Gassi-Touil Grand Erg Oriental Algeria 1961) of which 30 offshore (20 on semisubs) allow me to say that we do not have all the technical details to "juge" what BP does now. There are undeniable facts leading to believe that wrong prcedures, or Company men decisions were not appropriate, but It is sure that if anyone from BP, Exxon, CVX and others had now a solution, BP will all be glad to apply it immediatly, even non-classic one (as Coots in Gassi-Touil).
Without being associated with BP I can only pray for them to succeed because if gulf people "demand" after only one week of oil on their beaches that a solution been found NOW, be ready to see what is coming.
I do not think that BP will outspeed the oil/gas flow and will not succeed (I hope I am wrong). Even if we tailk about 3 1/16" lines, I also think that pumping for too long and as fast as they could with heavy mud, they may have more chance to cut thru the line or an elbow due to the relative abrassivemenes of the baryte (not much but very possible)... But do they have a choice any more as deviated wells are still 60 days away.
The only secure, garanty thing is that at least this will decrease the flow. .. Except if by "pure luck" they manage to close the weel before plugging (with particles ) or perforating the injection lines.
In clear it is a disaster of unknown magnitude ...
if it is not the time now to look for who is responsable, the contracts are 100% clear on that subject, the "company" is sole responsable 100%.
The unforgatable aspect is that the OIM did not follow what was going on and the day and the night pushers did not react fast enough to protect not only their own rig but mainly their own people (or his life since the night pusher died in the explosion).
To simplify, the situation is legally very simple; BP rent the semisub as you would rent a car with a driver. If you (as BP) seat on the back seat and order the driver to take a 90 degres curb at 100 miles/hr it is the responsability of the driver (OIM and tool pushers all transocean) to chalenge and refuse to execute... if they knows their jobs....
It has happen... solved by putting "town" in the loop before riching a non-return point...
This is Very, very sad and the comedy of the politiciens will not change anything because they do not know ... these ordinary braguards, will never know or comprehend what it is to lead alone by 120 knots wind 65 ft seas heaving 35 ft every 8 sec in North Sea or landing a stack at 5000ft deep in the gulf without been able to see anything while being. .. scared... silently but still facing and controling the situation.
Assuming worst case that nothing can stop the flow, how much oil does this field contain and for how long will it continue to leak into the gulf?
I have design on a dome that might help
Problematic factors/equations in confining ruptured well
1. Identify the composition of ocean floor to 100 feet of well head
2. Create a contour model of ocean floor to 100 feet of well head
3. Design dome to withstand pressure @ well head depth
4. Design factors/criteria;
a. material composition of dome
b. thickness of material of dome (weight assertion)
c. curvature of dome (ocean water pressure resistance)
d. re-enforcement of dome shell (i.e. superstructure framework, shoring)
e. contour of dome edge fitting ocean floor
f. length of "toothed edge" @ perimeter of dome to ocean floor
g. optional additiional spikes to stabilize dome to ocean floor
h. main spout design (tapered, with seal, flow capacity)
i. design accessory spouts for relief and access to existing wellhead (servo activated gates)
j. hydraulic vibrators to embed dome to ocean floor
5. Capture oil through main spout, other spouts if needed
6. Drill new "offset" well to relieve all pressure from original well
7. Cap ruptured well permanently after new well is operational
8. Monitor work performed
Teams needed for scope of work;
1. Pressure design calculations teams (ocean floor stability, composition of floor, water pressure)
2. Structural engineers for dome design and placement of dome
3. Petroleum engineers for oil flow piping/containment design
4. Rough-neck crews for install of piping
5 Tanker crews for oil retrieval
Coefficients------ X. water pressure
Y. composition of dome
Z. curvature of dome
W. weight of dome
Q. volumetric capacity of dome interior
P. pressure inside of dome @ seal time
I have a rendering of the dome with its accessories, your site will not let me install picture on this page. Please send me a site or page to which I can attach or paste drawing to.
Thank you

I've seen reports that it would go on for 20-30 years... that there is 25,000 square miles of oil in this "deposit" which is not a typical deposit-- rather its a transit way for oil down there like an expressway between one deposit area and another. I don't know anything about oil deposits-- that's just what I read somewhere that struck me as worth checking out.
I've also read that the Russians stopped their out of control underwater wells with small nuclear weapons designed just for that purpose beginning in 1966. Since then, they've had to nuke 7 of their wells... and it worked.... so it's not as if we don't have a possible srategy here. We can't say its off the table.
It's interesting that the reason we had to allow dangerous deepwater drilling in the first place was a shortage of power generated by nuclear in the first place... and now we'll have to use nuclear energy release with its high heat to seal this thing.
I'm pretty confident that DOE and Army Corp of Engineers have plans to shut it down this way. It's been done before. The relief wells are unlikely to work because it's hard to hit that target the way they need to and too much oil will leak over the next few months.
The problem with wellhead containment domes is that there is cracking of the seabed floor around the wellhead and somewhat distant from the wellhead. Multiple leaks are occurring--- and to put containment domes over all of them would be tricky indeed... probably impossible. The best overall solution is to use what's worked in the past-- the small nuke used as a peace time tool-- which has a long history in construction projects and -- on the Russian side-- stopping out of control wells.
This event is going to separate the men from the boys. The use of a nuclear device to save the world has been simulated in the movie Asteroid-- applied in space, rather than underwater of course. But the principle of using nuclear explosive as a tool was the key thing to note.
Peaceful use of the nuclear explosive takes maturity and reasoning in a culture. It's going to be interesting to see if we "pass the test". He he.
I think what will have to happen is that Obama is going to have to step down. I hear that Obama (Barry Sotoro) has had several social security numbers-- which means he's illegally holding office as an imposter of some kind. Biden would have to step in and take command and control of the situation under advice from DOD and order the well stopped with a nuclear device.
The thing has to be stopped... just like that asteroid in the movie. Culture, politics and everything else will have to come to terms with this fact. And we'll see who's who. This is a defining moment in US and world history.
Add a radioactive component to the massive spill, are you insane? How's about B.P. looking into the multitude of suggestions that "they asked the public for"? As an example for collecting the floating oil, Willie Nelson( not the singer ). But a entepenure from Ontario Canada has formulated, a now Canadian Government sanctioned method for collecting oil spilled on water and he's being snubbed by all the arrogant think they know it all's. The same people who told the world 60 day's ago this was son to be capped?!

Otero County commissioners reconsidered charging county citizens a solid waste disposal fee during a budget meeting Thursday.
While looking over finical issues, commissioner Tommie Herrell suggested the county re-examine the possibility of having a solid waste disposal fee.
"We're one of the few counties in the state that's not charging any kind of tipping fee or anything for our solid waste facility," Herrell said. "That, in my opinion, should almost be an enterprise fund."
Herrell said it was time the county seriously considered creating a fee for the waste disposal service it provides its citizens.
The commission had previously considered charging a solid waste disposal fee during a budget session in 2013. During the prior year's budget sessions the county decided against creating a disposal fee. Instead, the commission chose to trim the budget within their own administration by reducing funding to departments by five percent.
"We've always kind of put a band-aid on it and we really never have addressed it," Herrell said. "We need to raise about $1.5 million in our solid waste department to make that program work."
Herrell suggested charging county residents an annual fee to generate the money needed to maintain the solid waste program.
He said county residents currently pay a 1/8 gross recipes tax rate for their solid waste disposal but that Alamogordo city residents aren't being taxed at all for their use of the facility.
Commissioner Ronny Rardin concurred with Herrell about needing to come up with a fee.
Rardin also agreed that Alamogordo residents should have to pay a disposal fee just like residents in the rural parts of the county.
"We have to fix our problem with our solid waste," Rardin said. "It has to be taxed. I'm willing to go for it and get this moving. I just think the next step is to get all the players at the table to see what they want to do. Because if the city says, 'nah, we don't want to do that we'll do our own,' — which I know they haven't — but, until they see it on paper Maybe we should have a joint meeting with them."
Rardin suggested holding a meeting with the Alamogordo city manager to figure out a solution that would involve charging residents of the city a fee for their use of the county's solid waste facility.
Herrell said if the county was truly considering creating a fee they should hire a professional to come and assesses the area to find out what would be considered a legitimate fee.
He said the county could do a request for proposal to find someone to survey the area and assist the county with creating a proper fee.
The commission decided to consider doing a RFP during the next regular commission meeting May 8.

Write an online review and share your thoughts with others.
Great alone or as a layer, 6.14.2014 Reviewer: Teri Roy (Mountain View, CA)
This top is one of the most versatile pieces in the collection. Not only does it work with the collection but it is an ideal top to wear with a tailored suit. I have it in all three colors.
Please don't discontinue!, 5.8.2014 Reviewer: carol (, )
I have this in many, many colors. Great for hot summers and layering in cooler weather. They make sweaters hang more smoothly.
EF stretch silk cap sleeve, 1.9.2014 Reviewer: Amy Whelan (Menomonie, Wisconsin)
I have several EF silk tops. They fit, wash and wear perfectly. I do not even bother to look for any other name brand top. I have had a silk turtleneck for 9 years and it still looks like new.
Always looks good, 12.17.2013 Reviewer: May Lynn (Swarthmore, PA)
I own many of these and LOVE them. Nice fit without being too tight or too loose - just right. Hand wash & hang dry - especially great for travel. When they get old I use them for under layers. Great value when on sale.
Can't live without them, 10.1.2013 Reviewer: paula kelman (houston, texas)
These tees just SEEM frightfully expensive, But then when you consider they are the best fitting and longest lasting things in your closet, and make you look great and feel great every time you put one on, I go to them again and again. I have gone through several sizes as my weight came down, and have about 6 of them in different colors right now. They are great under a jacket or on their own. I don't wear much of anything else. ALSO, Naturals has them at a better price compared to local stores -- and in stores they generally never have all the colors and they never go on sale.
The best silk tees ever, 5.12.2013 Reviewer: Candy Carter (San Jose, CA)
Comfortable, good looking, versatile. Can be worn with everything from an evening skirt to jeans.
Silk Top, 4.13.2013 Reviewer: Sue C. (sonoma, California)
A beautiful, comfortable top! The color silver compliments the grey EF pants and the top can be casual or dressy depending on what's worn with it. This silk top is worth the expensive price.

On Dec. 8, we had a wonderful Christmas party and retirement party at our home, then walked downtown to Casa Del Sol to enjoy the downtown experience.
After dinner, some of the young ones went to patronize a bar where former officers and some off-duty officers tried to pick up on the young girls with their husbands there.
Two people were punched, one having to go to the hospital. What the heck is wrong with the police department that they think they are so high and mighty that they can beat up someone and then jump into a car and run away.
I am appalled for the actions of our police department. A few throw their badge around and ruin holidays and families, yet when they need some "numbers" for raises, they arrest us for inconsequential things. I am angry. We know a lot of awesome police but they are being ruined by the former chief and the likes of him.

This is a steampunk classic, a Victorian vision of cluttered skies. There are too many people living too densely today and ordering too many potato mashers, portable devices and toys to have them all flying through the skies together.
I published Amazon developing drones to deliver packages in 30 minutes or less to the website's Lifestyle section front earlier today after seeing Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos on "60 Minutes" (transcript) last night say of his concept drones, "The hard part here is putting in all the redundancy, all the reliability, all the systems you need to say, 'Look, this thing can't land on somebody's head while they're walking around their neighborhood'..."
Stop right there.
Wouldn't teleportation be sleeker?
There's something clunky about Amazon turning all these boxes into low-level flying space hazards, swarming like a hive, blocking sunlight (but swattable!) and all the while having no need at all to be visible to do their job.
Instead of transporting boxes over our heads, couldn't this stuff go through the wormhole and come out at the right coordinates, or have their molecular patterns reassembled onsite? Wouldn't that be what you are paying for, the 3-D printer? And wouldn't that put Amazon and its clunky pesky drones in the position of a particular annoying small bookseller today?
Jeff Bezos: "You gotta earn your keep in this world. When you invent something new, if customers come to the party, it's disruptive to the old way."
Flying Amazon boxes is already the old way, Jeff.
Still true: The toys we most wanted from "Star Trek" were the Teleporter (reassamble yourself elsewhere), the Replicator (clone that steak) and the Holodeck (experience what you imagine), but all we've got so far is the Communicator (2-year plan usually required)..
