By: Manna (Kitten Kisses)
Thanks to Samuraiter! If it wasn't for his perfect portrayal of Fiora and Sain's friendship is his 'fic, One Year, I might not have ever thought to write this.
The atmosphere was noisy, if only a bit too smoky and a touch too annoying, and she found herself watching him- the man sitting across from her- as he tossed his head and laughed gleefully at whatever it was the woman serving him had said. She didn't know what was so funny, really… she had been too busy looking around her as she sat with her hands in her lap, fisted in the white material of her dress.
"Dame Fiora!" he nearly shouted, a broad smile on his face as his sandy hair fell in his eyes. "Are you having a good time?"
She sighed, feeling a bit weary of it all- of his silly actions, of his flirting…of the war… Of everything. "Remind me again why I agreed to come here with you?" she asked dryly, taking only a sip of the drink in front of her before putting her hands back where they had previously been.
"To give a noble, good Knight of Caelin your most gracious company?" he suggested, the smile still firmly in place. When he could see that she was trying not to roll her eyes at him, he laughed lightly and tried again, "Or perhaps it was because we are stuck in Ostia for a few days to stock up on supplies, and I- the noble man that I am- offered to treat you to a night on the town?"
"That is more like it," she answered, allowing one of her hands to delicately play with the handle of her mug. "I am not much of a drinker, myself…but I suppose I did need to get away from all the usual happenings of our little army." She looked at him with her tired blue eyes and sighed for the millionth time that night. "But by all means, I cannot understand what possessed me to come here with you, of all people."
Looking slightly hurt, Sain shook his head and set his drink on the table they shared. "My good woman," he gasped as dramatically as he could manage, "why not me?"
She wasn't given time to reply before a young lady came to their table to pour him more to drink. She found herself looking down at their table, mentally tracing the pattern the knots in the wood made as she half-listened to his flirting and the woman's laughter.
"Sir Sain," she started to say, half-standing out of her seat as soon as the serving girl had gone, "I really ought to be going back now, I have…work to do."
"What?" he asked her, the expression on his face nearly unreadable. "Forget your work, it's all been taken care of! Sweet little Florina promised me that she would even feed your noble steed his evening snack." He smiled a sugary-sweet smile that she was sure would melt the heart of most girls, and held out his hand, taking hers within his grasp.
Gently, she pried her fingers from his own and looked down at him, sighing again. "Why must you compliment every woman on everything? Even my youngest sister can't escape your silly flattery…"
He wrapped his hands around his mug and looked into the distance, his face serious as he thought. "Sit down," he told her, and for once in his life, it sounded as if he were almost commanding her to do it.
And she did.
He pushed his drink to the side and leaned over the table until his face was as close to hers as he could get. "Now listen," he said, a small smile now tugging at the corner of his lips, "you want to know why I compliment everyone? I'll tell you."
She tilted her head at him, her eyes curious. If he had some sort of excuse, she would most likely laugh at him- but a reason… that, she could listen to. She nodded her head in agreement, pushing her aqua hair behind her ears with one of her hands as she leaned in to pay attention to him.
"In the two days that I've been coming here," he started to say, his normally carefree voice lowered to an almost-whisper, "I've found out many things. First, the reason I shower compliments and praise on every woman I meet is because…simply put, they might need it." He blinked hazel eyes at her and rubbed his chin with his hand. "Now, before you can laugh at me and leave like you appear to be considering doing, hear me out. Victoria over there," he pointed a finger at an older woman carrying dirty dishes into the back of the building, "is a widow, forty years old, feeling a little down on her luck… She likes it when customers make her laugh, even if it is at silly old bursts of merriment that only I can offer."
"This sounds more like an excuse than anything," she told him bluntly, tapping her nails on the tabletop. "Are you saying that you flirt for no reason except to amuse others?"
"Partly," he answered. "But then again, not always. Now, Gina over there is a lovely lass, isn't she? She's a mere fourteen years old, and—no, I'm not a dirty lecherous man, let me finish!—she's been a bit down on her luck. She came from a wealthy family, but married the wrong man at a young age…and her family has disowned her. Her husband is dying of fever, and she works to make an attempt at paying for healing for him."
She blinked at him, and sighed. "You're trying to make them feel better?" she asked, almost in disbelief.
He nodded, his bright smile reemerging. "Exactly, my lovely Fiora!" he said excitedly. "I am glad that you understand!"
"But Sir Sain," she said, looking him in the eye as she spoke. "Why do you continue showering praises on the women of our army, then, when none of them need your constant flirtatiousness?" She kept her gaze straight.
"I…ahhh…" he sighed. "Fine, I find that one a hard question to answer. Would you believe that in the last two years, you are the first woman who has agreed to come to drink with me?" He looked away, almost embarrassed. "I suppose I figured that if I was nice to all the ladies, eventually…one would eventually let me court her." He laughed lightly and rubbed the back of his neck with his hand. "It looks like it may have eventually paid off, though, because I have a beautiful woman sitting across from me right now!"
She did roll her eyes then, and made to stand. "Have you ever thought, Sain, that if you would only try to chase after one woman, she might feel special enough to think that you were serious about wanting her?"
She left then, leaving the cavalier to scramble to pay the bill so that he could chase her down. A few moments later, he found her leaning against a wall near the tavern they had previously been occupying, her boots scraping across a stone lying nearby.
"What did you mean?" he asked her, his arms crossed over his chest as he tried to keep his grin in place. "Do you mean to say that I make no one feel special with my words?"
"Forget what I said," she told him, looking up at the sky. "It wasn't really important."
"No," he insisted, pulling one arm free to set it on her slim shoulder. "I want you to explain." He bit back any silly banter that he might have used with any of the other women- women who would most likely understand that he was joking- because he wanted Fiora to take him seriously.
"I…" she paused, stepping closer to him in the dim lighting that the moon had to offer. "I mean to say that…when you compliment every woman, you make none feel particularly special, and your comments of high praise and love becomes meaningless in the long run." Looking him in the eye, she noticed the twinge of regret that appeared for only a moment before she continued, "Any woman who would… think to let you court her would think again when she realized that you say the same things to every woman."
"Meaningless, huh?" He looked hurt for only a moment before he laughed, and the sound startled her. "Well, I suppose I never thought of it quite that way, Dame Fiora, but now that you've mentioned it, I'll…keep that in mind. After all, so many of the lovely young women in our army have found a man that isn't me already! But I daresay that I shall find myself a woman before the battle is won, no?"
She gave him a timid smile and stepped away, but his hand still remained on her shoulder, and he gave it a light squeeze, saying, "Now, why don't we head back…home, I suppose it is, though home is a strange word for it…considering it's not really anybody's home but Lord Hector's…" he rambled on, and she started walking in the direction of Castle Ostia, letting Sain's hand drop uselessly to his side.
She stifled a smile as the motion broke him out of his thoughts and he took a few quick steps to catch up, wrapping his arm boldly around her shoulder. "Since I am walking you home tonight, Dame Fiora," he said lightly as he continued walking beside her. "I take full responsibility for getting you home on time and in the condition in which I left with you. The gentlemanly thing to do, of course, would be to offer you my cloak to stay warm, as it is a bit chilly tonight…but alas! I do not have a cloak…so you must suffer with only my arm as your warmth…though surely my heart is enough to keep us both warm!"
Shaking her head, she let herself smile as she leaned into him a little bit. "Well, Sir," she told him, "I suppose that will have to do for now."
"Do you mean…" she could sense the excitement in his voice, and she chose to play a short game of her own.
"Oh," she told him, her smile turning serious, though inside she was laughing. His words, while usually never very serious, had a way of making her forget many of her troubles, and for that, she was grateful. "I said no such thing." She waited only a moment, when the grip of his hand on her shoulder loosened, before she spoke, "But if you are asking me out again…I suppose I could accept…if…"
"If what?" he asked, his tone eager.
"If you would cease your flirting with the other ladies of the camp," she suggested, "then I would go out with you again. I am a one-man woman, after all, and I would expect no less from anyone else."
"Anything for a beautiful woman such as yourself!" he assured her, his grip around her tightening again. "As Kent would say, it would be the noble, knightly thing to do, right? And so loyal, too! Just like a dutiful Knight of Caelin, wouldn't you agree, lovely Fiora?"
She rolled her eyes and let him lead them home, wondering for a brief moment if she had made the right decision by agreeing to go out with Sain again, but deciding that in the long run that…perhaps it could be for the best.
Author Notes:
Whoa. Well, I was going to say that this was just a "short" piece…but it is almost four pages long…and nearly 2000 words. So it's not really that short after all.
I felt inspired to write this while I was at work today. You know, it really came at me out of almost left-field, the way the idea rushed into my mind as I was leaning against something, waiting for the next car door so that I could put it together. (Boring, boring job.)
Props to Samuraiter, because if it hadn't been for his fabulous rendition of their friendship in his 'fic, One Year, I doubt I would have thought to write this.
Comments and constructive criticism are greatly appreciated, particularly on characterization in this one, as I've only ever written Fiora once before. Thanks for reading!

Latest news, analysis and links on UW football, basketball and other sports
UW secures oral commitment from California linebacker
Madison – Wisconsin has secured its second oral commitment for the 2013 freshman class under new coach Gary Andersen and, like the first the prospect, the player was well off the recruiting radar.
Leon Jacobs, a senior linebacker/tailback from Golden Valley High School in Santa Clarita Calif., committed to UW on Saturday.
Jacobs, listed at 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds, has played organized football for only two seasons because he had concentrated on basketball. He will play outside linebacker at UW.
The first time he played football was as a freshman at Bishop Montgomery High School in Torrance, Calif., and then last season as a senior at Golden Valley.
Andersen's first commitment at UW came on Thursday from cornerback Jakarrie Washington, from Everett High School in Massachusetts.
Jacobs, recruited by defensive coordinator Dave Aranda, chose UW over Wake Forest.

November 30, 2015
Columbus, Ohio (AP) -- The state watchdog has found that one state Department of Transportation employee ran his private business on state time while another made excessive personal phone calls.
Ohio inspector general Tom Charles found Tuesday that transportation technician Roland Ladipo ran his personal real estate business on 560 hours of state time, representing $29,993 in salary and benefits.
Charles also found that traffic engineer Albert Antoine made 110 hours of personal calls on state time, representing $6,507 in salary and benefits.
The report says Ladipo admitted to investigators he was making calls for his personal business on state time.
The report has been submitted to the state transportation department and the Franklin County prosecutor's office for further review.

Thanks so much for your review and sorry to hear you misunderstood our location. We wish you had mentioned it while you were here and we would have explained. The Holiday Lettings advertisement title reads "Holiday apartment Rental in Kineton, Bourton on the Water" and the first sentence says "tucked away in the sleepy village of Kineton". Holiday Lettings band all properties under a nearby town and that's why we mention Kineton for clarity. We specifically promote our location as being away from the hustle and bustle of Bourton and our confirmatory letter provides very detailed instructions on how to find us. Lastly, in the UK, a 5' bed is King Size. Queen size beds are only found in North America! But, we are both delighted that you enjoyed your stay and will pass on your kind comments to Tania at our fabulous village pub - the Halfway House (in Kineton!)

'No... Look away... I'm hideous!' - Cosmo Kramer
Thursday ------- "The Things That I Used to Do". Here are three different takes on that old Blues standard. (BTW, these videos show one thing that I love about YouTube. These are HISTORY. I owe a debt to everybody who posts things like this to YT, and I am very grateful to them. THE Guitar Slim? How many of us have a copy of that in our collection? Albert Collins in front of a festival crowd? Chuck Berry doing Blues? In front of a seated, formal, French television taping audience? Amazing.)

'No... Look away... I'm hideous!' - Cosmo Kramer
Inspiration for this is coming from a number of places. First of all, Tom Keifer in on the cover of the current (Jan. 2013) issue of Vintage Guitar magazine. Then, there is a line in the song that goes 'It'll be awhile, before I get my peace.' That made me think of some people I'm aware of right now who are facing some difficult situations. Please hang in there folks; what you're facing will make you better and stronger once you come out the other side.
'No... Look away... I'm hideous!' - Cosmo Kramer
Friday ------- "Fool". As in "Fool for Your Stockings". Somebody comes up to me and says 'tell me about guitar tones', I say 'Get a copy of ZZ Top's Deguello'. You start there, you'll get the idea. Here are two cuts; one the studio, and the other Frank, Dusty, Billy and THE Miss Pearly live in Germany. Have a Happy Friday everybody! Don't be a Fool, and don't get Cross...
I'm Goldtop, and I'm a Fool for Stockings
'No... Look away... I'm hideous!' - Cosmo Kramer
OK - I admit it. something about Lady Gaga is a guilty pleasure.
In this song, I'm both intrigued and impressed how the third word of each verse gets a little mini vibrato. It adds a texture to the song that I just don't get tired of. In the first verse, the word is "help" at 0:21. In the second verse the word is "see" at 1:21.
There are other instances of unexpected vibrato - but those two really stand out. As the vocals begin in each verse, they ascend in pitch to a fourth word climax. The vibrato on the third word increases the 'pull' to the end of the phrase.

In sticking with my 'Friday ------- Fool' theme, I offer this. Probably my favorite Rod Stewart song, or at least one of them. Please note, and I am absolutely serious about this: I'm posting this purely because I dig the song and the title crossed my mind earlier. No hidden agenda, or statement intended; just music for the enjoyment of it. If any of the mods feel it is crossing a line please let me know, or delete it, etc. TO ME, this song is tongue in cheek, but everybody might not feel that way, so if it offends anyone it is MY fault alone. Rod Stewart "Foolish Behaviour".

'No... Look away... I'm hideous!' - Cosmo Kramer
I'm with you, man. I am not afraid to admit that at first I liked some of Gaga's music. (Now I find her tedious all the way around, but that's another subject.) "Bad Romance"? Cool. "Poker Face"? I liked it. But "Paparazzi"? SIGN ME UP!!! When I first heard it, I thought 'that's a hit'. Then I heard who it was. Of course it would be a hit. She's part of THE MACHINE. I am officially going on record here as being a Manly Man (if you know what I mean), but I dig this song! AND video! I don't know how many times I've seen this - gotta be in the several dozens - but I see something new every time I watch it. I never get tired of it, especially that yellow Mickey Mouse head bodysuit of hers at about the 5:20 mark. Let me help you with those laces, Baby...
So, here's "Paparazzi". And as a side note, maybe it's a little in the interest of fair play... sort of balances out the Rod Stewart take on things above. The difference? He only dreamt about it; she does it! Again; strictly music for music's sake.
Thanks to rugerpc for giving me the courage to speak up.
P.S. - I like to try to imagine this with REAL drums and guitars instead of all the synths... It could be a good rocker I think.

From the 'Did you know?' department: Did you know that this woman was Billy Idol's mother? Strange but true.*
* Actually, I have no idea if it's true or not. Probably not, because I just made it up. BUT, more to the point, at one time she was a "Queen of (Dance) Clubs" herself. And she had a spiffy Gold outfit in this video. She and I seem to have so much in common; she had a Gold top, and I am Goldtop. She was a Queen of Clubs, and now, thanks to Hans, I am a Queen of Clubs. Serendipity my friends...

Respond to Review of Cafe Paradiso
by ELyzab
Review: When I lived in Chichester and was vegetarian I loved to eat at cafe Paradiso as you knew everything was not only veggie, but very tasty. On visiting Chichester yesterday, and now a vegan, I thought I'd see what they could offer me although I knew my favourite (the stuffed potato skins) were off my menu. I hadn't realised they used so much cheese! The only thing I could eat was their salad, missing out the coleslaw and potato salad (the cous cous also had honey in). Don't get me wrong, the salad was yummy, but it was a salad. I guess I thought they would have caught up with the times and offered at least one vegan dish and maybe one vegan cake (they often do a gluten free one). Never mind. For a vegan the salad is good for one visit, vegetarians you are truly spoilt and make sure you visit!

text: Famed High School Hit With 5th Teacher Sex Allegation Teacher at 'Friday Night Lights' school commits suicide By Kevin Spak, Newser User Posted May 8, 2014 11:27 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (24) (Newser) – Until recently, Permian High School was known mostly for football—it's the basis for Friday Night Lights. But that might be changing thanks to a slew of scandals, including one that ended in suicide last night. Police found longtime government teacher and assistant girls golf coach Mark Lampman dead in an open field, just hours after they'd announced a criminal investigation against him, the Odessa American reports. The 47-year-old appeared to have shot himself. Lampman had resigned Tuesday amidst allegations of a sexual relationship with a student—something that's become disturbingly familiar at Permian. Lampman was the fifth teacher to resign amidst such allegations in the past year, the New York Daily News reports. The last one came just a week ago, when physical education teacher Alisha Carrasco Knighten, 25, went on paid leave over an alleged relationship. "You begin to look at it and say, 'Is there a pattern here?'" the superintendent told CBS 7 at the time. "I've talked to teachers, and I will continue to tell them, 'This is crazy folks! You can't do this!'" A sign celebrating Permian High School's football team. (Flickr/rarr.)

Godzilla 2014: Rumors, Pix and filming

Re: Godzilla 2014: Rumors, Pix and filming
IO9 interviewed Edwards recently:
You have a strong political subtext in your previous movie
. Did you deal with any of the politics from the original
Godzilla is a metaphor for Hiroshima in the original movie. We tried to keep that, and there are a lot of themes from '54 movie that we've kept. To me, if all we did was just have monsters smashing things up, then the film would be pointless. The great thing about the 1954 Godzilla is that beyond the spectacle and epic enjoyment of seeing giant monsters smashing a city, there's another layer to the movie that you could take or leave.
In our film, Godzilla represents a force of nature. The theme of man vs. nature creeps up a lot visually throughout the film.
What do you mean? Like climate change?
It's not specifically climate change or anything. We tap into nuclear themes within our film — that's at the heart of the film. But it's more about the power of nature, and how we sometimes abuse that power. Godzilla is a symbol of nature coming back to put us in our place, to restore the balance or however you want to define it. Films like this are powerful when you feel like you deserve what's coming. It's not just a fantasy. Deep inside you feel like we've been asking for this — it's been a long time coming. As crazy as all these events are, subconsciously it feels true that this could happen.
My favorite horror films are ones where characters feel guilt, and have it coming to them. Humanity has abused its position in the world and I think that Godzilla represents a force — not quite of retribution, but a force of putting things back to right.
Does an American kaiju represent something different than a Japanese one? Does it have to be set in Japan to tell this story?
It's important that part of the film took place in Japan, but it's very much a global story. The whole idea was that it would be a sort of origin story, and you can't do that without Japan.

If we were unable to get to your question during this call, please call Newell Rubbermaid Investor Relations at (770) 418-7075. Today's call will be available on the Web at newellrubbermaid.com and on digital replay at (412) 317-0088 with an access code of 452013, starting 2 hours following the conclusion of today's call and ending August 13. This concludes today's conference. You may now disconnect.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Newell Rubbermaid's Second Quarter 2011 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] Just a reminder, today's conference is being recorded. A live webcast is available at newellrubbermaid.com on the Investor Relations home page under Events and Presentations. A slide presentation is also available for download.
I would now turn the call over to Nancy O'Donnell, Vice President of Investor Relations. Ms. O'Donnell, you may begin.
Nancy O'Donnell
Great. Thank you. Welcome, everyone, and thank you for joining us for the Newell Rubbermaid second quarter conference call. On the call, in addition to myself, are Mike Polk, our President and Chief Executive Officer; and Juan Figuereo, our Chief Financial Officer.
The conference call today will include forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially. And therefore, we direct you to the cautionary statements in the earnings release and in our most recent 10-Q and other SEC filings. The company undertakes no obligation to update any such statements made today.
In addition, we will discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that these measures enable investors to better understand and analyze our ongoing results of operations. I would like to note that we have posted schedules in our press release and on the Investor Relations section of our website at www.newellrubbermaid.com that reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures.
With that, let me turn it over to Mike Polk for his comments.
Michael Polk
Thank you, Nancy. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. First, let me say that I'm very pleased to be here, and I'm excited about joining the company at this important moment in time. The team has done an outstanding job over the past few years transforming Newell Rubbermaid into a more competitive company. I want to thank Mark Ketchum for his determination to build a brand-led company and for the work he and the team did tackling the costs, capital structure and portfolio issues the company faced. We're positioned for growth. My job will be to write the next chapter, a chapter that I believe can end with Newell Rubbermaid being a bigger, faster-growing, more profitable, more global company. There's significant upside for us to unlock, and I'm confident we have the people, the brands and the resources necessary to capture it. ]
I'll talk more about our path forward at a future date. Today, I want to focus on the Q2 results and provide more clarity with respect to the guidance for the balance of the year. Of course, at the end of our prepared remarks, Juan, Nancy, and I are happy to answer any questions you might have.
I spent the first couple of weeks with the team understanding the current state of play and have a good sense of where the opportunities and the risks are in the business. Of course, I was not starting from scratch as I've been a board member since November of 2009. To be clear, there's some revisions to be made to guidance to balance the risk profile in the second half of the year and to set 2012 up for success. In my opinion, they're not major changes, but are appropriate given the challenges in 1 or 2 of our businesses and the need to continue to invest in the long-term growth of our categories.
So let's dive in. I'll focus first on our second quarter headlines and performance highlights, and then outline our expectations for the remainder of the year. As you'd expect, Juan will then go into more detail on the numbers.
Overall, our second quarter core growth was in line with the expectations we communicated in early June, although the profile of delivery was different from what we forecasted. Baby & Parenting continued to underperform, and the Tools, Hardware & Commercial Products group delivered very good results, with overall core growth of nearly 9% and double-digit core growth in Commercial Products and Industrial Products & Services. Total Q2 sales grew 5.1% on a reported basis with core sales growth of 1.9%. Gross margin was 37.5%, largely in line with expectations, but down 175 basis points versus last year's onetime benefit-driven high of 39.3%. Normalized EPS is $0.46, $0.04 above consensus but below the $0.51 delivered in Q2 2010.
We made good progress during the quarter in a number of our businesses, and our brand-led growth agenda continues to gain traction in the marketplace. Six global business units delivered core sales growth greater than 5%, with 3 of those 6 delivering core sales growth greater than 10%. In Asia-Pacific, core sales grew a strong 17.2%, and in Latin America, core sales grew 10.4%.
Our innovations, marketing programs and customer initiatives are making an impact. Paper Mate is gaining share behind new awareness programs and strong innovations like our low viscosity ink innovation introduced in Latin America. Sharpie is gaining share with innovations on pens and pencils and our new Start with Sharpie campaign. As an aside, if you have a few minutes, check out Sharpie's new website at sharpie.com and our new webisodes on Sharpie's YouTube channel.
Office Products was recognized by Walmart in the supply chain area as the 2010 Collaborative Vendor of the Year, an award given to the best provider of customer service in our peer group. Rubbermaid Consumer is growing share in Food and Beverage, with the launch of Glass Easy Find Lids, and also in cleaning, with our Reveal Spray Mop innovation. Calphalon was named 2010 Vendor of the Year at Target for the work that team has done to unlock category growth with the Target guest. Levolor has expanded the number of SmartSide in-store machines at Lowes, leading its great incremental consumer sales and improved customer productivity.
Fine Writing is growing nicely with the launch of Parker Sonnet and Waterman Pure White collections and the opening of our 400 luxury shop-in-shop in China. Our Lenox industrial saw blade business is accelerating growth, leveraging the significant infrastructure investment being made in Asia, as the trend to urbanization continues with our new Q88 band saw blade. And our Commercial Products portfolio is being deployed into high-profile, high-traffic venues. Every time you travel through Heathrow or any other airport in the world, you should increasingly see that bright yellow bucket with the red Rubbermaid logo, or our new Rubbermaid HYGEN Clean Water System, with a built-in filtration device that cleans the water, improving maintenance staff's productivity and reducing water and chemical usage.

NewSchools Summit 2010 Session Overview and Video: Closing Achievement Gaps: The Civil Rights Issue of the Next Decade
Session Description: This intergenerational conversation highlighted connections and differences between the civil rights and education reform movements, and explored insights that the civil rights movement provides for tackling what many consider today's most important social justice issue: closing the achievement gaps that persist in public education. Entrepreneurs were inspired to redouble their actions in addressing the inequities in education that remain unresolved and to take aggressive action to push the movement toward accomplishing even more ambitious goals.

come on, vogue
Like us on Facebook
>> When Madonna said strike a pose, I don't think this cover is what she had in mind -- US Vogue really needs to get their act together. They have really started off the year with a bang -- and not in a good way. January brought us a sick-looking Sienna, and February brings us...yawn...Drew. After her poor excuse for a dress at the Golden Globes last night, I can't say that Miss Barrymore deserves to be on the cover of Vogue anyway, Missoni ads or not.
The rest of the editorial is here, but as Madonna says: "What're you looking at?" There's really nothing to be seen...

Reviews of BBQ One
The noodles are ok, the bone soup is actually really nice. The Chinese style BBQ meats are renown on this place and that's why I came, but I may have come on an off day, the sauce seasoning was pretty bland. However, I wouldn't come here ever again on the account of the customer service. If your coming for the food only, then it's a fairly good choice for the money. However be warned if you want to be at a restaurant where you feel safe.
Everyone in the area knows this place has amazing food. All your favourite chinese BBQ meats, fresh noodles and delicious dishes such as beef brisket. The servings are very generous and the food comes out pretty quickly. The down side is that the restaurant is pretty busy and there are often lines going outside the door with people waiting for a table. Onyl down side is that there aren't many tables and they know they are good, so don't expect friendly service. A great place for a satisfying meal, but definitely not the place for a long romantic dinner... This is an eat and leave joint.
If you're looking for a quick, cheap and rather chaotic meal, this is your place!
This restaurant now has two locations in Eastwood; one on the main Rowe st walkway and one inside Eastwood arcade. I usually go to the arcade location with my family because it's more spacious.
This service here is lightning fast; you'll have a complimentary bowl of soup on your table within 30 seconds of sitting down. We usually order one of the set menus, which gives you some typical Chinese dishes like garlic king prawns, sweet and sour pork PLUS your choice of roast pork, roast duck or soy sauce chicken. All of which taste great and are generously cheap.
I would also recommend the noodle soup with two BBQ choices. Delicious.
If you can take a rather frantic dinner with loud crashing noises from the kitchen every couple of minutes, do it!
The roast duck, soy sauce chicken, cha siu, fatty pork, suckling pig here are all great! Although there is usually a queue out the door for the take-away, the service is quite fast and this is a great place to take-away for those not wanting to cook dinner.
If you are looking for a quick, cheap meal, then this place is also great value. However, it is not recommended for big groups, as the space only fits around 15-20 people max.
It is definately one of the better bbq meat place in Eastwood, and I recommend paying a visit!
Anyone who lives in lower north shore and likes BBQ duck/chicken/pork should come here to try its yummy food. It is one of the best in eastwood ( I think this is the only one you can get BBQ duck here). Strongly recommended for take-away because the room is really tiny and apparently it is not designed or furnished for a function or many people to have meal together. But if you do not mind the crowd, it would be a great place to have a meal as you get a lot for what you pay. For me, it is always a take-away.

Candy Encyclopedia: The Difference Between Gummi and Jelly
The world of happy, fun and beautiful candy should be blissfully simple. Chocolate is made from cocoa beans, lemon drops from lemon juice and sugar and licorice from licorice root.
But there are some terms which have become so generic, they're losing their meaning. I want to correct that course, or at least clarify how the terms are used on Candy Blog.
There is a wonderful, and rather recent invention called the Gummi Candy. It was innovated in the 1920s in Germany and popularized by the Haribo Gold Bear. Once these unique candies became popular in the United States, they expanded into a very broad and diverse candy category.
A gummi has a base of gelatin. Gelatin is often bandied about has a horrifying ingredient in viral listicles to unsuspecting people who apparently have never read a list of what's in their food before.
Gelatin is a protein. It's most often made from pork sources, found in the connective tissues (knuckles, hooves, as well as skin), but it's also made from bovine or fish sources to create a Kosher/Halal version. Gelatin simply cannot be vegetarian. The protein of gelatin is amazing, it creates a translucent, flavorless base with an inimitable texture. I call it bouncy. Many gummi candies are fat free, or have nominal amounts of fat, so they're very low in calories per ounce.
Often jelly candies are categorized as gummis, because they are also colorful, translucent and fruit flavored. However, a jelly candy is somewhat different. Jelly candies are solidified using carbohydrates, not proteins. So, a jelly bean center is usually made with corn starch. Other jelling ingredients are pectin, tapioca, potato or arrowroot starch. Gums are also used sometimes to jell candy, which is how the original gumdrops were made, with gum arabic, mastic or gum tragacanth.
Now, I have nothing against jelly candies, but you probably already innately know the different between a Swedish Fish and a Gummi Worm. There's a substantial different to the texture.
The easiest way to tell the difference, without even putting a candy in your mouth, is to pull it apart. When you pull a Swedish Fish or Spearmint Leaf apart, it's pretty easy. What you see when you look closely at the spot where it splits is that it creates little strings at the separation. The softer the candy, the more stringy it will be. It's generally sticky, as in, it will stick to you, your fingers, the package, whatever.
When you pull a gummi apart, you'll get a lot of stretch, but eventually it will break. So the edges of a gummi will usually be flat, a full clean break. Though the broken surface will be sticky, the strength of the gummi means that it is unlikely to transfer to your fingers or pockets.
I prefer to use the original German word for the candy, gummi, instead of gummy. Since gummy already means something in English which is not necessarily descriptive of actual gummis, it's easier to just keep them as separate names. However, here on the blog I used the name of the candy if it happens to be Gummy or Gummies.
Gummis are unique enough they shouldn't be lumped in with jelly candies, no more than compressed dextrose and chocolate should be, just because they're basically solids at room temperature.
Though there have been attempts to make vegan or vegetarian gummis, there really isn't anything quite like gelatin in the plant world. So, you may find marshmallows made with agar agar, but they'll never be quite the same as gelatin marshmallows. For some candies that use gelatin, such as Mentos, they were able to swap out the gelatin in the chewy mints for gellan gum, which is made from bacteria.
Perhaps scientists will be able to synthesize a protein from plants someday, but in the interim, there's nothing wrong with omnivores making some fun confections by utilizing all parts of the animals we raise for food.

Jelly Belly Pancakes and Maple Syrup
The newest flavor from Jelly Belly is Pancakes & Maple Syrup.
Though the name of the new flavor is a little trendy, the idea is pretty solid. Maple is a great, distinctive but mild flavor. It's an ideal addition to Jelly Belly's line because it can be combined with other flavor beans. Though I didn't have any on hand to try out, I would think that Banana and Strawberry would go well.
The packaging is fun, an aqua gingham motif on the bag gives it a homespun feel. The image on the front, though is not of Vermont maple trees with running sap and buckets, like I might have imagined, instead it's more in line with what I see any neighborhood diner, a plate of pancakes with butter and a little pitcher of syrup. (Now, I love my little diner I go to, but I highly doubt they use actual maple syrup because their menu just says syrup.)
The beans are uniform looking, a medium caramel color, kind of like Sugar Babies. The bag does smell a lot like maple syrup, which is a sweet smell with notes of bourbon and vanilla with a little molasses or pipe tobacco.
The interesting things is that these are not just maple flavor but also pancake, so there are other flavor notes to the actual beans. Though the primary flavor is definitely, and perhaps over-the-top maple syrup, I also caught sort of buttery notes. It's not the overwhelming buttered popcorn flavor, just a sort of salty and creamy flavor to it. (There are 25mg of salt per serving.)
So, there's lots of maple-y flavor and buttery notes, but no actual pancake, which is fine, because just a jelly bean that tastes like pancake topping is good enough.
The fun part for many candy fans is that Jelly Belly are gluten free and peanut free. So if you can't have actual pancakes because you're gluten intolerant, you can have these.
I think the trendiness of these makes them appealing in the short term for buzz, but maple should stand the test of time. Of course the Honey jelly beans introduced a five years ago didn't do so well and I think those did better in combination with other flavors than Maple.

Nature Addicts Fruit & Chocolate - Apple Orange
Chocolate covered dried fruit is one of the simplest confections. Raisins, candied orange peels and ginger and cranberries are the most common chocolate coated items. Every once in a while a company comes along to put a little twist on the idea.
Nature Addicts (which goes by [N.A!]) makes Fruit Sticks, which are basically pureed fruit formed into easy to eat pieces. Then they went one step further and coated them in chocolate. They just call them Fruit & Chocolate, which is a descriptive name but not particularly distinctive. The only flavor is Apple Orange.
[N.A!] nuggets made 100% from fruits coated with a fine layer of premium 70% cocoa dark chocolate for a unique experience.
The fruit filling is made from concentrated apple puree, concentrated apple juice, concentrated orange juice, pectin, citrus fiber and natural orange flavor. The chocolate coating is 70% made with reduced fat cocoa powder, in addition to cocoa liquor. It's sweetened with cane sugar. There's also a little honey in there, so it's not marked as a vegan product.
The nuggets are made in The Netherlands, and it's all non-GMO ingredients. They're not terribly attractive. There's no glaze on the panned chocolate coating, so they're a little lumpy, a little scuffed. They're mostly flat rectangles, about 1/2 an inch long and 1/3 of an inch wide.
Even though the fruit bits are really more apple than orange, they taste like orange. It's an immediately zesty flavor, but also very tangy. The texture of the filling is less of a jelly and more like a fruit paste, think a very soft fruit roll up.
It's a good combination, though the sweet and sour of the chocolate and the filling is a little jarring because both are intense.
Even though it's a dark chocolate product, they seem pretty kid-friendly. Smaller children probably won't like the intense bitterness of the chocolate along with the intense sour of the filling, but older kids may find this a nice compromise candy for families that want something with a little cleaner ingredients for snacking. The bag is just over one ounce and only 110 calories, though there are 2.5 grams of fat, there are also 2 grams of fiber and 1 gram of protein. I wouldn't call them nutritious, but they're tasty enough as a between meal snack or an addition to a trail mix.

Leaf Tart n Tinys
It's rare that I get to chronicle the demise of a candy on this blog, it's even rarer to then be able to report of its return.
Tart n Tinys was a fringe candy to begin with back in the early 1970s. They were one of the early confections introduced by Breaker Confections, which also made other compressed dextrose candies like Wacky Wafers (more history on Collecting Candy). The innovation for the candy came around 1977 when they added a re-closable top that acted as a dispenser for the maddeningly small pieces. Later they were added into the Wonka brand in the 1980s, which Breaker licensed around the time of the movie premiere. But still, they were never headliner candies, they were never the centerpiece of the Wonka brand, and rarely included in other formats for the candies sold for Trick or Treat or in large lay-down bags.
Tart n Tinys were then discontinued around 2007, and even then, they were different from the original candy. They sported candy shells, like mini Spree candies, though they came in a larger box now and with the addition of a blue raspberry flavor. There was a chewy version, which again, might have been confusing for the existing Wonka brand which also included SweeTarts, Spree and Mini Chewy SweeTarts at that time.
Devoted fans bought up the last few cases of Tart n Tinys, I even held onto a few boxes (I have two or three, still). Then Leaf Brands started to buy up the old trademarks and research the recipes in order to revive the candies. (Leaf brought back Astro Pops in 2012 and is also promising a return of Wacky Wafers this year.)
The new Tart n Tinys are similar to the original packaging for the candy; a simple cellophane bag. They were expensive when I picked them up, at Dylan's Candy Bar, for $3.49 for a 1.5 ounce package. Though they don't have the candy coating of the version that was discontinued, there are blue candies in there. They're made in America and a Kosher.
The wee little cylinders are 1/4 of an inch high. They're about 3/16 of an inch in diameter. The candies were only slightly powdery within the package, which you can kind of see in the picture of the wrapper up there.
There are six colors and flavors: blue raspberry, grape, orange, lime, lemon and cherry. There's no listing of the flavors on the package.
Blue Raspberry is sweet and tart with a pretty good floral berry flavor to it.
Grape is smooth and acidic but without much grape punch to it, though it's hard to rival the SweeTarts grape.
Lemon is mild, a little tangy but not too much lemon in there either.
Orange is probably the best, a good mix of the juice flavor and tartness.
Lime is surprising, I was certain it was going to be green apple, so that was nice. It's a good lime, not too artificial and not too much like a floor cleaner.
Cherry is pretty bold, sometimes it seemed like it was the most intense of the flavors in the mix. The black cherry flavors were well rounded, good deep notes and a puckery finish.
As a candy sold as tart, they're not as sour as some of the modern Warheads or Toxic Waste type products.
The texture is generally smoother than SweeTarts, which tend to be a little crumbly and lumpy. However, the flavor is not as intense, so there's plenty of tart but less actual defining flavor between them. This makes it easy to eat them together as a mix, but harder to chose over SweeTarts for flavor alone. However, I liked all of the flavors and didn't have to pick any of them out, the fact that there's orange, lime and raspberry in there makes this a unique mix among the sour dextrose candies.
The upshot of all of this is that, yes, they are very much like the original candy. However, the packaging is lacking the original flair with its recyclable dispenser box ... and the price (I admit that it's probably not the normal price) is ridiculous. I'll stick to SweeTarts until these come down to normal pricing. But, they really are fun to stack and arrange.

Hello everyone-
I recently bought a new (to me) road bike off of fleabay. It is a Jamis Quest w/ a lot of swapped out parts. The bike is definitely well worn but appears to be in good condition except for one thing: the wheels.
I was changing out my tires last night when I noticed something troublesome. The hubs (on both wheels but moreso on the front) aren't spinning smoothly. I picked up the wheel by the QR skewer and spun it, then I grabbed the small little bit of hollow axle that sticks out on each end. You know, the part that actually attaches to the fork where the QR goes through. So I grabbed that small bit of threaded hollow axle and it REALLY wanted to rotate with the rest of the wheel. It was really hard to hold it with my fingers and keep it from rotating with the rest of the wheel. I was able to do it, but I had to use A LOT more resistance than I usually do w/ other wheelsets.
I have already taken this bike on a few long rides, so obviously it is rolling. But my question is whether or not this is going to slow me down a lot. Is there anything I can do aside from getting new hubs/wheelset? Can I service these hubs (they are cartridge bearing, I assume)? Let me know what you guys think.
The hubs are Ritchey and the rims are Mavic CXP21
This is cross posted from the roadie forum b/c I didn't get any responses there and I figure y'all are the better people to ask about this. Thanks in advance for your help.

Scientists have discovered why how the Luzon Strait's giant internal waves rise from the deep.
The biggest ocean waves in the world sweep through the South China Sea's Luzon Strait, towering more than 550 feet (170 meters). However, these massive waves barely break the surface.
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have proved that the spacing of two submerged seafloor ridges in the northern Luzon Strait is perfect for generating gigantic internal waves.

What's the difference between a girl-kissing pop sensation and an Australian luxury loungewear designer? Well, two letters: "i" and "e" — and apparently that's too close for comfort.
On Tuesday (June 16), an Australian newspaper reported that a local fashion designer, Katie Perry, had been served a cease-and-desist order from lawyers representing singer [artist id="1962774″]Katy Perry[/artist], aimed at stopping her from trademarking her birth name for a clothing label.
According to The Australian, Katie Perry started a "luxury loungewear" fashion line more than two years ago and had been selling her designs online and through local markets. Last week, she opened her first retail outlet in a suburb of Sydney and filed paperwork to trademark her name for both the store and her line.
That's when she received a letter from a Queensland-based legal firm, Fisher Adams Kelly, who were acting on behalf of Katy Perry, asking her to stop selling her line.
"I got such a huge shock. It really felt like I was being intimidated and bullied into signing everything away," Katie Perry told the newspaper. "It asked me to give up the trademark, withdraw sales of my clothes, withdraw any advertising and any Web sites and sign that I will not in the future use a similar trademark to Katy Perry. I pretty much burst into tears."
Perry told The Australian that she was born Katie Jane Perry and, as such, she has no plans to cease and desist just because her name happens to be similar to an internationally famous pop star.
"I love my business. I'm not going to give it away without a fight, either," she said. "I'm not trying to become a singer. I'm not pretending to be her. This is my income. And it's the livelihood of my contractors as well."
Katy Perry is scheduled to play three shows in Australia in August, which should be, uh, interesting. MTV News' attempts to contact her label, Capitol Records, for comment on the situation were unsuccessful.

Getting to the Top; the Conquest of the Great Peaks
Meyer, E. Y., UNESCO Courier
Getting to the top
ANYONE who studies the historyof the opening up of the Alps might by forgiven for thinking that until the eighteenth century these mountains were a deserted wilderness. Writers on the subject are fond of quoting from early travellers who describe the mountains as "dreadful', "repellent', even "hideous' stretches of bare rock and ice, reactions which today seem astonishing. Such was the accepted view from Roman times until the eighteenth century. The great Italian poet and humanist Petrarch, who in 1336 wrote an enthusiastic description of a journey he had made to Mont Ventoux in Provence, was for centuries a notable exception to this general rule. Even the Zurich municipal doctor Johann Jakob Scheuchzer (1672-1733), otherwise an enlightened scientist and scholar who is regarded as one of the founders of modern paleontology, seriously maintained that the mountains harboured dragons!
This was how the mountains appearedto the occasional travellers from outside --scholars, merchants, soldiers-- who came from the lowland cities and towns. However, a history of the Alps written "from the inside' would tell a different story. Many big Alpine Valleys were already inhabited in pre-Roman times, and it is clear that this mountain population had a different, much more natural, relationship with the mountains where they lived. By the early Middle Ages, many valley farmers owned "alps', pastures high up on the sides of the valleys where they grazed their cattle during the summer. From the twelfth to the fifteenth century still higher mountain regions--up to about 1,600 metres-- were permanently settled and farmed, in many cases by the Walser, an ethnic group which migrated from the Swiss Valais and established farming communities in wide areas of the central Alpine region (see article page 14). It is also known that at a very early stage a number of Alpine passes were regularly used for trading--and also occasionally for military --purposes. Finally, the Alps were mined for salt, iron ore, and silver, an activity which brought wealth to some and provided a means of subsistence for many more.
This mountain world cannot, therefore,have been as terrible as the travellers' tales cited above would have us believe. But even if there are no dragons, life in the mountains is hard even today, full of privations and fraught with danger. It is also true that until very recently the snow-covered peaks, which are for us the most important and fascinating feature of the mountain landscape, were of no interest to anybody. Until the eighteenth century, they were shown on maps in a very summary fashion and many were unnamed. Only villages, passes and Alpine pastures were indicated. Even where the description "mountain' or its Latin equivalent mons appears, it usually signifies not a mountain but a pass or a pasture. Perhaps one or two peaks had been climbed by local people, but such ascents had not been reported and so the world took no notice.
The eighteenth century brought a bigchange, marked at the outset by a new approach to nature. People became not only more sensitive to the attractions of nature, but also, under the influence of the writings of authors such as Albrecht von Haller (1708-1777) and Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778), showed a fresh interest in the real or imaginary charms of country life. Stimulated by this romantic longing, the European elite then began to travel to the Alps, thus laying the foundations for Alpine tourism, which expanded rapidly in the nineteenth century.
Once the attractiveness of mountainsand their inhabitants was recognized, sporting feats soon began to be accomplished, the first of which was doubtless the ascent of Mont Blanc (4,807 metres) in 1786 by a doctor, Michel Paccard, and a hunter and mountain guide from Chamonix, Jacques Balmat. Thus the conquest of the highest Alpine peak took place, not at the end but right at the beginning of a long series of mountaineering exploits. …

Notice: As of Scala 2.11,
NotNull is deprecated.
As far as I understand, if you want a reference type to be non-nullable you have to mixin the magic
NotNull trait, and the compiler will automatically prevent you from putting
null-able values in it. See this mailing-list thread for instance.
What lacking is, a decent library support for non-nullable types. If I would like to write a package that don't need to interface java code directly, and I want to prevent all types in this package from using
null by default, I have no choice but to redefine all builting variables like so
//can't actually do that, but just to give the general idea
class NString extends String with NotNull
class NMap[X,Y] extends Map[X,Y] with NotNull
I expect scala to have (as a compiler plugin, or library) option for me to write
import collections.notnull._
in order to easily disallow
null usage in a specific scala file.
Is there an option to easily force many usefull types in the standard library to be not-nullable?

Sounds like you used the tail light wire in the radio's harness for the new radio's ground wire. You can prove that by unplugging the new radio and replacing the fuse. The tail light wire at the radio is to tell the display to dim when you turn on the running lights. There's another wire from the dash light circuit to tell the display how much to dim.
The dash light circuit is a sub branch of the tail light circuit, so when the tail light fuse blows, the dash lights won't work either.

Setting Overview
Source: Apathy Blogs
(…) The setting is the relatively near future. Mankind has colonized the solar system, but nothing beyond it. There is no galactic empire that spans thousands of star systems. We only have the planets of our solar system to work with. We have advanced to the point where we have stations every where from the sun's corona to Pluto and beyond.
Meanwhile, Earth is dead. Or mostly dead. 10 years ago a collection of AIs sparked World War III and wiped out most of mankind. There is a quarantine around Earth because automated war machines still roam around destroying anything that moves. Luckily the AIs mysteriously left the solar system, so things have been relatively quiet since then.
We have also perfected the technology for copying brain patterns. So a few billion people "escaped" earth by uploading their brains into the colonies. We have the ability to implant these brain patterns into bio-enhanced bodies, artificially grown bodies, or purely robot bodies. However, living space isn't unlimited. So many refugees from Earth have to live virtual lives in the computer network until they can earn a body. A large number have chosen to contract themselves to corporations as indentured workers, often mining or other tedious jobs, just for the chance to walk around again.
Another aspect of being able to copy brains is that you can now duplicate yourself. The legality of such "forks" (as they are called) varies from place to place. Most of the time it is illegal to have multiple true copies running around, but some places allow limited versions for a short period of time. You can also merge your forks back together, stitching the memories of both into a new whole. Of course, doing so after being separated for too long may lead to mental instability. For the most part, people don't fly from colony to colony when they want to visit someplace. It just takes too long. Way easier to temporarily send your mind over there and rent a body for the trip.
I said we hadn't reached other star systems earlier. That's actually not quite true. After the AIs left we discovered a number of "Pandora Gates" (named after the moon they were found on, although the mythological implications of the name are intentional.) Nobody knows how they were created. They do allow travel to distant worlds. Of course, not very many expeditions return successfully. Those that do often come back with worthwhile information or tech. Whole campaigns can be centered around the exploration of the worlds beyond the gates. (…)
