Tina Fey SNL
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler don't fake that very funny chemistry — the pair's friendship goes back two decades. Good news for fans of their working together: The two "Saturday Night Live" legends will host the Golden Globes for the second time in January, and have been asked to return the following year as well. The two have a shared history: They met while taking a class at Chicago's ImprovOlympic in 1993. Even then, they stood out. "They were just instantly brilliant ... they were not the typical women who get steamrolled by men," co-founder of ImprovOlympic Charna Halpern told Vulture. "[They] were no shrinking violets. They were bold and ballsy and fearless." The fearless females eventually ended up as cast members of "Saturday Night Live," and from 2004-2006, co-anchored "Weekend Update." The buddies boldly took risks, using the word "bitch" to describe Hillary Clinton (in a good way). Fey and Poehler each left "SNL" to star in their own TV shows – Fey's "30 Rock" recently ended, and Poehler continues to star in the hilarious "Parks and Recreation." They also teamed up in the 2008 comedy "Baby Mama." Together, the two never seem to stop goofing off. "Being a tough, capable broad has never been easy — look at us. Although we did have a lot of fun on 'Baby Mama.' Boy, did we play a lot of pranks on each other," Amy Poehler said in an interview for Marie Claire magazine. "We love pranks," Tina Fey joked. "I mean, we're kind of like Cloons [Clooney] and Damon that way, doing a lot of, like, $250,000 pranks. I did a really funny prank where I got my assistant to paint all the cars in your neighborhood white so you would wake up and think it was snowing. That was a good one." That wasn't even their first movie together. In 2004, Poehler appeared in "Mean Girls," which Tina Fey wrote and starred in. Lindsay Lohan, also in the movie and a rising star at the time, had become a target of real-life "mean girl" gossip. In this clip from "Weekend Update," the teen came on the show to dispel the rumors (sort of) to Poehler and Fey, who were supposed to be her mentors, but acted more like jealous -- if caring -- older sisters. Take a look.

text: My Toyo 45A serves me well but if you might be looking for adventure I can recommend the Ilford Titan pinhole (4x5). Very light weight and great fun to use and is compatible with one of my lighter tripods. I've done pt/pd prints, silver gelatin and scans from the negatives. I just received the 150mm cone/pinhole and can't wait to try it. I know it doesn't replace a lens and movements or for that matter my Blads but it is a nice departure from lenses and focusing and with a light meter and several film holders fits in a fairly small backpack.

We need to be realistic when it comes to developing robots, in terms of what we want them to do and how we want them to do it. Even Wallace needed Gromit to clean up after his labour-saving devices.
Robot butlers? Stick to the fantasy
I always find it a little bit odd when commentators refer to robot butlers as a staple of science fiction. I've been reading and watching science fiction for over 40 years, and I can't think of a single example of a robot butler. The closest I can get are the various labour-saving devices invented by Nick Park's hapless Yorskhire tinkerer Wallace, and frankly nobody sane would actually want any of those anywhere near them.
But there's clearly a buzz around robots of all types at the moment, with James Dyson's large invetsment into a robotics lab at Imperial College and Google's spending spree among the robotics sector. Domestic robots have previously been more the preserve of the Japanese, stemming from concerns about their ageing population — there, the key application is clearly as devices to help elderly and infirm people live independently. In the US and Europe, defence and emergency response applications have led the way. Both types take industrial robots as their starting point. And as we saw in our poll last week, opinions differ about the state of research and where the end-point might be.
James Dyson thinks we might be ten years off domestic robots. This seems to be very optimistic. Although autonomous robotic vacuum cleaners have been available for some years, they aren't actually very good at vacuuming (and judging by the internet, are far more useful for taking pets for a ride around the home). The prospect of a single, multi-functional robot home-help seems as far-fetched as ever: homes are designed for humans, so human-like locomotion would be a must, with manipulators that can get into the same position as hands and perform similar functions. We're a long way away from that, even in the most advanced labs. We'd also need much more advanced machine vision to navigate around and identify things and people. And how would people and machine communicate? By speech? Add a natural language processor and voice synthesiser to the list.
"What would a robot on the battlefield actually do?"
So would we see humanoid robots on the battlefield? The question here must surely be: why would we? Is an upright, bipedal, two-armed robot really the most efficient form for a battlefield? Why devote all those resources to stabilising a top-heavy form when something closer to the ground with more points of contact can get around more easily? And anyway, what would a robot on the battlefield actually do? Interact with humans? Go up against enemy robots? The answers to these questions always seem worryingly vague.
A humanoid search-and-rescue robot makes a bit more sense, for similar reasons to domestic ones — it can access and clear spaces that humans can fit into, opening doors and so on. If something that's human-shaped and moves like a human can get into a constrained space, then a trapped human can get out.
Ultimately, the multifunctional robot is a bit of a tall order in any case. Industrial robots are successful because they can do essentially one thing very well, over and over again with no variation. Maybe that's what we should be looking at with domestic robots — lots of small, very limited units, each doing their own thing. But that doesn't really sound all that useful. In fact, it's a bit Wallace. And he needed Gromit to clean up after his devices; uncannily intelligent and dextous dogs are even more tricky than robot butlers.
There's clearly going to be a role for automation at home and in conflict and disaster; probably in hospitals and workplaces as well. But we need to be realistic about what machines can do, why we want them to do these tasks, and how they should do it; and we should also be realistic about what demands we place on technology, considering the actual state of the art. We don't live in a science-fiction world; and what with most science-fiction worlds being dystopias, we should probably all be very thankful for that.
Readers' comments (7)
I afraid to admit (as a Yorkshireman) that the brilliant Wallace and Gromit are in fact from Lancashire, as is Nick Park. Their favourite cheese is from Yorkshire though (Wensleydale)! Sorry Stuart.
Kryten, Red Dwarf, legendary .
How could I have forgotten. "It does mean changing the bulb, sir."
Robin Williams, Millenium man. Robot butler evolving into bio-mechanical 'person' through technology advances. Has to start somewhere !
A film so bad it had spontaneously erased itself from my memory.
Marvin (the paranoid android) from Hitchhiker's Guide?
There he was, brain the size of a planet, and you call him a butler.
I laughed along with the adults in the family when I was only just a kid about the landing of men on our Moon. Not only did it happen but my own Mother helped to build it. So I learned a valuable lesson from that experience. I won't laugh anymore but keep a keen eye on what is happening.
In the cartoon called "The Jetsons" they had a robot maid named 'Rosie'
In the movie "I, Robot" they had robots doing all types of human jobs. Taxi Drivers, Desk Receptionists, and even Butlers. (I agree that a humanoid robot driving a taxi is not very practicle as much as a taxi car that needs no driver would. All that would be needed is to just input your destination as if you were doing on a GPS Navagation Device, and have the vehicle automatically take you where you need to go without needing a human to control it.)
However, those are a few science fiction things that do have robotic butlers. For a guy who claims to have read and watched science fiction for 40 years - you sure have missed quite a bit of examples of robotic butlers. Which makes me wonder how much of the rest of your article was not really valid as well.
A discussion about robots needs to include the fact that there are autonomous and semi-autonomous robots (if fact, there are several other classifications). Army SWORDS Talon robots have already been fighting in Afghanistan. A robot named Pioneer wandered through the deadly quiet Chernobyl reactor analyzing irradiated structures. Kompai, a robot companion for the sick and elderly, asked its owner "Where does it hurt?" and then e-mailed the symptoms to a doctor. The Library of Congress' SOMA robot digitized priceless historical images, sounds and films. An unassisted robotic surgeon corrected a heart arrhythmia - by all accounts, its work was better than above-average (designers believe that robots can replace half of all surgeons within 15 years). To round out this discussion, check out this article (http://tinyurl.com/pdfj5sj) and these papers: http://tinyurl.com/mzo4ms6 And let's not exclude the Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) from the discussion; some of them are no larger than insects and have already been used in nuclear reactors and disaster sites. Technology is progressing exponentially; robots are standing on that curve. I'm guessing that in 20 or so years they'll be doing everything we say they can't, and many things we can't even imagine, today.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Thank you all soooo much. This is great. I wish I could bring the lf gear but I think the hassles might outweigh the reward. Perhaps if I didnt have the family with me. You see the choice is LF gear or wife in the car at the same time. I guess I could leave a kid behind. Oh and Ill have my folks as well. Hopefully I can plant them on a beach and shoot all day long.
I can see myself getting in some trouble not hanging with the fam. But I am on a mission. Do you think they will be tolerant? I hope so. Perhaps if I feed them drinks with umbrellas all day!


text: It has been demonstrated that under extreme non-standard conditions, restriction endonucleases are capable of cleaving sequences which are similar but not identical to their defined recognition sequence. This altered or relaxed specificity has been termed ""star"" activity. It has been suggested that star activity may be a general property of restriction endonucleases and that any restriction endonuclease can be made to cleave noncanonical sites under certain extreme conditions. The manner in which an enzyme's specificity is altered depends on the enzyme and on the conditions employed to induce the star activity. The most common types of altered activity are single base substitutions, truncation of the outer bases in the recognition sequence, and single-strand nicking. Star activity is completely controllable in the vast majority of cases and is generally not a concern when performing restriction endonuclease digests. New England Biolabs' enzymes will not exhibit star activity when used under recommended conditions in their supplied NEBuffers. Listed below are reaction conditions known to induce or inhibit star activity. Conditions that Contribute to Star Activity 1. High glycerol concentration [> 5% v/v] 2. High units to µg of DNA ratio [Varies with each enzyme, usually >100 units/µg] 3. Low ionic strength [< 25 mM] 4. High pH [> pH 8.0] 5. Presence of organic solvents [DMSO, ethanol, ethylene glycol, dimethylacetamide, dimethylformamide, sulphalane] 6. Substitution of Mg++ with other divalent cations [Mn++, Cu++, Co++, Zn++] Inhibiting Star Activity If you are concerned about star activity, we recommend the following guidelines. 1. Use as few units as possible to get a complete digestion. This avoids overdigestion and reduces the final glycerol concentration in the reaction. 2. Make sure the reaction is free of any organic solvents such as alcohols which might be present in the DNA preparation. 3. Raise the ionic strength of the reaction buffer to 100-150 mM (provided the enzyme is not inhibited by high salt). 4. Lower the pH of the reaction buffer to pH 7.0. 5. Use Mg++ as the divalent cation.

I don't see the benefit of just re-mastering some of the episodes -- that might be enough to put on home video, but it wouldn't be enough to widely syndicate. If CBS is going to make the investment of getting a team together to re-scan the negatives and build CGI assets, that's an awfully big investment to make on such a limited prospect as a "Best of" DVD or Blu-Ray.
Exactly! Economics of scale.
I'm excited by the prospect of seeing the original film elements in their full glory! It's going to look utterly fantastic! And as an added bonus, there's bound to be loads of deleted scenes and goofs that we've never seen before. There must be hours and hours of footage that's never been seen anywhere else.
In terms of adding new elements, I would love it if we could see some different shots of the Enterprise, rather than recreating all the same stock shots again. I suppose if they do use CGI for this project, then creating new shots is inevitable. I look forward to it!
Also, I want them replace the Angel One matte paintings with brand new cityscapes. Please!! It's vitally important!

My problem is my car is cutting of in the middle of driving it. I replaced the battery last week (brand new) Today, I drove it again to the auto store to replace the alternator, I thought it was fixed and it died again. Charged the battery at the store and put it back in the car and it died of a third time. I'm not sure why it keeps cutting off.

Does it cut off only when accelerator is released or stopped?
If yes, the idling speed could be too low.

- Stun (Wandering Torosaurus)
- Dinosaurs that battle with this Dinosaur lose all their abilities during the battle, and any effects from those abilities after the battle are negated.

It was activated by sparks from a broken lamp after a rhino attacked Ungaro's tent, but the poacher mistook it for a large rhino itself. He fought Spiny with Ace before running off with Chomp, as the two belong to closely related species. He later fought against Terry to defend Chomp while Chomp was in his chibi mode. Paris was then summoned to fight with him against Terry and Spiny. When Terry tried to attack Paris, Torosaurus hit him, but was swung into Chomp. He was nearly beaten by Terry, until Chomp arrived to save him. He combined his Lightning Strike with Chomp's and defeated Terry. The battle took too much out of him, however, and he returned to his card. His card, along with his Move Card, was claimed by Max.

Jason Brockman currently serves as your County Commissioner representing the citizens of District 16, which includes areas of Mt. Juliet. He is seeking to serve you again and requests your support in the upcoming election on August 7th. Jason is a 14 year veteran on the City of Mt. Juliet Police Department, the 2006 Officer of the Year, and an Eagle Scout. He also belongs to, and works with, many other civic and community organizations as a volunteer for the betterment of Mt. Juliet and Wilson County. Jason is a graduate of Mt. Juliet High School and is married to the former Crystal Johnson of Mt. Juliet and has an 11 month old son, Landyn.
Since his election in 2010, Jason has devoted a good deal of his time as your Commissioner to fulfilling his campaign promises of promoting the enhancement of fire protection, additional ambulance service, finding ways to improve our schools, and providing the residents of District 16 with a representative that is attentive to their concerns. He has consistently voted against proposals to raise taxes and has attended 100% of the County Commission meetings.
Looking forward to serving you again, Jason's goal is to concentrate on the often repeated concern about the need for better infrastructure in the community. He will be vigilant and a strong defender for those who have concerns about the annexation of property into the city without regard for the wishes of the residents living in those areas. He has received an endorsement from Tennesseans Against Forced Annexation.
When Jason won the election in 2010, he upset a 40 year incumbent. Now, the daughter of that former incumbent is challenging Jason for the 16th District county commission seat. Jason believes the seat belongs to the people of District 16 not one family.
With your vote and support, Jason Brockman will continue to stand for transparency in government. He will continue the fight against conflicts of interests, self-serving politics, and nepotism. He will fight for a balanced budget and pledges to not raise property taxes. Jason will be your voice against forced annexation and will continue to focus on improving our local infrastructure.
Jason is grateful for your support and asks for the honor of allowing him to complete the work he has begun for you. Cast your vote for Jason Brockman on August 7, 2014.

Linda Armistead, a long-time educator who retired in 2012 from the Wilson County school system, is seeking the position for School Board in Zone 4, which represents Districts 4, 10, 23, 24, and 25. "My life's work has been dedicated to the education of young people in Wilson County for the past 38 years. I want to use my experiences in education and connections with youth, their families, and our community to help ensure trust and confidence for those affected by school board decisions and to support opportunities for students to expand their knowledge in as many different directions as possible. "
She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in English and Education at Middle Tennessee State University and began teaching in 1973 at Mt. Juliet High School. She has 27 years of classroom experience and 11 years in administration while implementing the Workforce Investment grant called YouthLinks in Wilson County. She has completed classes in counseling, certifications for Global Career Development Facilitator, Service Learning, and Work-Based Learning, along with attaining Career Level I and Highly Qualified teacher status.
Throughout the classroom years, she led and sponsored several school clubs and organizations such as the Drama Club, Future Teachers of America, the cheerleading squad, Students Taking a Right Stand, the Forensics and Debate teams, as well as coaching tennis. She also organized and led two independent student tours to Europe sponsored by the American Council for International Studies and a church school group to Washington, D.C.
The YouthLinks grant involves helping students train and prepare for jobs. Since it began in 2001, it has served approximately 4000 students in the Wilson County School System, receiving allocated funds of 5.3 million dollars at no cost to the school system. "It was rewarding to be part of a program that has also been successful in helping to improve the graduation rate in our county, and it gave me an opportunity to work in all four high schools, the GED program, and the Adult High School, giving me a better perspective of what works well in our communities. Students in our program also had to work when they finished school and training, so connecting with businesses in the area and being a part of the Chambers of Commerce has given me an insight of what is happening concerning the rapid growth and how vital a great education system is."
She has been involved in many community projects and organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, the Wilson County and Mt. Juliet Community Help Centers, and Empower Me Day Camp. She is current president and past treasurer of Wilson Organization for Networking and Education (Wilson ONE). She served on both the Mt. Juliet Chamber's and Lebanon/Wilson County Chamber's education committees, receiving the honor of "Educator of the Year" in 2003 from the Mt. Juliet Chamber and worked with the Teacher Grant committee and the Tennessee Scholars program with the Lebanon Chamber. She served on the Board of Directors for Prospect, Inc. and the Wilson County Community Partnership and is a 2005 graduate of Leadership Wilson.
Linda and her husband Steve Armistead have been married for 46 years and have resided in Mt. Juliet since 1979. They have two children, Stephanie McDonald and Chadwick Armistead, and six grandchildren, two enrolled in Gladeville Elementary. Stephanie graduated from MJHS and MTSU, completed her graduate studies at Cumberland University, and previously taught math at West Wilson Middle School. Stephanie has three children, and she and her husband Michael, who is District Automotive Manager for UPS, currently live in Monroe, NY. Chad graduated from MJHS and MTSU, served in the Marine Corps, and is Director of Operations at the Hutton in Nashville. He and his wife Cathryn, who is a third year law student, have three children and live in Gladeville.
"As a candidate seeking your vote and support for School Board in Zone 4, I am ready to work hard, utilizing all of life's lessons and professional training. I have fiscal experience with budgets and allocating money, having served on the Board of Directors of two non-profits and the Workforce grant program, which also required being responsible for staffing and helping to create and implement policy. I am ready to serve by actively supporting school programs, by being responsive to constituents, and by promoting positive working relationships with the Director and the County Commissioners--understanding the importance of governing through policy. And most importantly as a school board member, I will be a strong advocate for the needs of all learners as we strive for excellence in education always."
From the Wilson County Joint Economic and Community Development Board
Job growth is "near a record breaking high" in Wilson County over the past 12 months according to the county's chief recruiting arm for industrial and retail development.
G.C. Hixson, executive director of the Wilson County Joint Economic and Community Development Board said Wilson County has added more than 1,000 new industrial or related jobs since July of last year, which represents about one-fourth of the number of new jobs that have been added over the past decade.
"I don't know when we last saw these types of employment growth numbers. We've got to be near a record breaking high, Hixson related.
Hixson, reporting from his agency's end of the fiscal year analysis, said "these new employment opportunities represent new industries that have located in Wilson County as well as a number of expansion projects completed by existing industries over the past 12 months."
Hixson pointed out that the employment number does not include new retail jobs that have been created during the past fiscal year.
He said, while the employment number "speaks for itself," the impact on the local economy is "just as dramatic."
Hixson estimated that the new jobs created represent an annual payroll of more than $30 million, which he said, "obviously means more dollars to be spent locally and more local sales tax revenue to be generated to aid local schools, build roads, improve lifestyle amenities, and generally benefit Wilson County."
He said the county's transportation arteries, its central location, excellent infrastructure features, and a "spirit of cooperation among local government officials" have all contributed to the success his office has realized in creating new employment opportunities.
The three largest employers to locate operations in Wilson County during the last fiscal year and creating more than 600 new jobs were Starbucks with 400 employees; Communications Test Design, Inc., 130 employees; and Hollister Incorporated, 86.
Major expansions were reported at Amazon, Ozburn Hessey Logistics and Custom Packaging, Inc. and accounted for more than 500 new jobs.
Hixson's report was the 25th annual report to be issued by the JECDB. The agency was created in 1989 to be the principle recruiting force for new industry and retail development in Wilson County including the county's three municipalities, Lebanon, Mt. Juliet and Watertown.

Do you know what Corsi is? How about Fenwick?
Analytics haven't hit the same mainstream level in hockey as they have in baseball and other sports, but NHL front offices are taking note and utilizing the metrics at greater rates than ever.
Corsi - the total number of shots attempted - is used as an indicator of puck possession. Fenwick doesn't account for shots that are blocked, but is used similarly.
Fortunately for Stars fans, general manager Jim Nill knows all about this stuff and more so you don't have to.
In an interview with SportingNews.com, Nill discussed how the Stars are using advanced metrics to build a powerhouse in Dallas.
"We do use numbers — we are like everybody trying to figure how they fit in," Nill said in the interview. "Sometimes they fit in, sometimes they don't. We are trying to find a consistency, to see what numbers match up. We have a coaching staff that's very advanced. When I hired [Stars coach] Lindy [Ruff], I didn't picture him being that kind of numbers guy. He's very advanced that way."
The biggest issue with analytic measures like Corsi is that they aren't exactly what teams need. While Corsi an adequate indicator of puck possession, it doesn't tell you everything about each player and what they did to get into that position, or what they did next, or much else for that matter.
With player-tracking technology that gives more accurate readings of individuals available for other sports, such as SportVU used in the NBA, Nill hopes the NHL can catch up soon.
"I want to see SportVU implemented league-wide. It's something we've talked about at the GM meetings and the Board of Governor meetings. They're going to start playing with a little bit — it's in a lot of the NBA arenas, and we were following it closely during the World Cup as well," Nill said. "The league's working on it and it's something that's going to come in to play down the road. You know, our sport — it's so unique from other sports. You talk about these other sports, no one else has the number of changes we have during our game. There are changes every 30 or 40-seconds. The important part is getting the technology right when we do it, we want to do it right. And I look forward to that being implemented moving forward."

Need Help With Your Window Or Patio Door?

Your Product 888-888-7020
Andersen introduces a new trim system that installs in as little as 6 minutes and comes in a wide range of styles from contemporary to traditional.
The Andersen® Exterior Trim System works with Andersen A-Series, 400 Series and 200 Series product lines. Trim is available in 11 colors and a wide range of architectural styles to meet the needs of the most discerning contractors and homeowners.
"We're very excited about this product, especially how quick and easy it is to install," said Steve Berg, marketing product manager at Andersen. "Our revolutionary snap-on feature lets you trim out an average house in about half a day, compared to two days using traditional trim."
How quick is quick? Pominville says an average window can be trimmed out in as little as 6 minutes. The design eliminates measuring, cutting, mitering, nailing and filling nail holes while providing an exceptional fit and finish. Homeowners will find that Andersen trim adds a long-lasting* decorative element to their home that never needs painting.
Water management is always a concern when building any structure. The Andersen Trim System works completely independent of the water management system of a window or patio door. "You just install the window or door per the installation instruction. There's no modification to accommodate for installation of the trim because it works completely separate from the window or door."
Andersen trim is made of Fibrex® material, a revolutionary composite combining the strength and stability of wood with the low-maintenance features of vinyl. Fibrex material has twice the stiffness of vinyl, withstands temperature changes better than vinyl and can be made in dark colors.

Does it happen that eating certain foods creates a fully three-dimensional feeling inside of you ? The feeling I have when I eat agretti is longing. Salsola soda, more commonly known in English as opposite-leaved saltwort, have for more than 35 years been a central part of my Roman springtime. This grassy, chive-like green, typical of Rome (I have not seen it anywhere else) is a market, restaurant and kitchen staple for weeks that span from late February into April.
I like agretti steamed, al dente, with new season olive oil and a good squirt of lemon. I also like them just-a-bit- above room temperature which is the way they are often served in restaurants. They go beautifully with mint-imbued, stewed artichokes or thin slices of boiled potatoes. Agretti have a real, green punch to them, that fills your mouth with a burst of chlorophyll and slightly acid pleasure. And a texture that is unlike anything else that I know.
Agretti fill me with longing.
Agretti come out when the days are lengthening. And every time I eat them, at just past 50, I remember again the acute feeling of adolescent longing the springtime would always draw out in me. Was it the wistful cry of the just-returned swallows that filled the sky, and that tickled my young emotions ? Was it the feeling of warm air and the promise of a summer ? The promise of windows open and breezes to tease teenage thoughts ? Was it the flirty sensation of the short sleeved shirt and the sleeveless dress after months of long sleeves and wooly sweaters ? What was it ? Whatever it was, it all happened just as the agretti arrived. And the agretti were there every day, appealing and curly on the plate, full of the promise of spring, and just as the season of longing began. And I forked them into my mouth – and longed.
Even today, as I trim off their earthy roots, rinse and pop them into the same pan that my mother used always to cook the agretti… I long. It is a wonder and a comfort to feel an emotion so familiar, a friend that has accompanied me, in certain seasons, for so much of my life. That feeling is just the same, though I am no longer 13 or 15 or 17. My lolling-tongued dog roams underfoot, and my two children noisily, cheerfully, help me take out the platter on which to put the agretti. They don't like agretti at all — but then they are not yet at the age of youthful longing.
We will see what happens when that time comes.
And when it first comes, if it begins as the agretti make their spring time arrival at the Roman table.

Gimme a Bagel with an Organic Schmear
A new generation of Jewish-style delis brings the artisanal ethos to pastrami, knishes and lox
Of all the words that come to mind while noshing on a hot pastrami on rye, "local," "organic" and "artisanal" are probably not among them. But a new breed of delicatessens is proving that the freshest thing in Jewish-style deli dining is also the oldest: traditional foods, made traditionally.
Instead of ordering their offerings in bulk from food processors, these delis are crafting them in small batches. In Portland, Ore., Kenny & Zuke's Delicatessen bakes organic rye bread, smokes and steams briskets from beef sourced from within 100 miles to make pastrami, and cures wild local salmon for lox. Mile End Delicatessen in Brooklyn, which opened last year, serves handmade Montreal bagels—smaller, sweeter and denser than the fluffy behemoths that often masquerade as bagels these days.
The idea is catching on around the world: Trend-conscious restaurateur Jeffrey Chodorow helped open Kutsher's Tribeca in New York in November (the menu includes wild halibut gefilte fish) and San Francisco's Wise Sons, which has a stand at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, will open in a restaurant space in early 2012. London's Deli West One, which opened in late October, makes its own salt beef (that's British for corned beef) and grinds chopped liver in-house. Unlike other spots, it's also certified kosher.
These deli owners are bringing radical change to an old-fashioned food scene. But don't tell them that. Said Ken Gordon of Kenny & Zuke's: "What we're doing is what delis 50 to 100 years ago used to do."
Building a Better Bagel in Brooklyn
Décor-wise, Mile End Delicatessen "is void of nostalgia," said co-owner Noah Bernamoff. "Why do I need to see a picture from the 1970s of the owner with a C-list actor? It's not my job to impose nostalgia. It's my job to put out great food." And so he does. All breads are made in-house, except for bagels, which are imported from Montreal. The pickles, smoked meats and lox are also produced by the deli, the latter from organically-farmed salmon. Signature Nosh: The Beauty, a Montreal bagel that is lightly toasted, spread with cream cheese and laden with lox. 97A Hoyt St., mileendbrooklyn.com
American-Style Eats in London
Unlike many of the new delis, the two-month-old Deli West One—which the four founders bill as an "authentic New York deli"—is kosher. All of the meat is purchased from English butchers, and brisket is brined for a week in a "secret cure." The décor is modern-industrial, with exposed pipes and old factory lighting.
Signature Nosh: The salt beef sandwich, about six-and-a-half ounces of corned beef hand-sliced onto white or rye bread, served with mustard and half a pickle. 51 Blandford St., thedelilondon.com
Perfect Pastrami in Portland, Ore.
True to local foodie culture, at Kenny & Zuke's Delicatessen all breads—rye, challah, bagels, hamburger buns—are made in-house with organic flour; each week 2,000 pounds of beef brisket is cured, smoked and steamed to make pastrami. "I resisted doing bacon and pork in a deli," said owner Ken Gordon. But eventually, he caved to popular demand. "What, am I going to go to heaven if I don't serve bacon?"
Signature Nosh: The pastrami reuben, with 7 ounces of hand-sliced pastrami, Swiss cheese, Russian dressing and sauerkraut on homemade rye, buttered and toasted in a sandwich press. 1038 S.W. Stark St., kennyandzukes.com
Smooth Salmon in San Francisco
Wise Sons Jewish Delicatessen appears every Tuesday at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. Early next year, it plans to open a fixed location in the Mission. The owners take local and seasonal seriously: no tomatoes in winter, and if salmon is not running off the California coast, steelhead trout is used instead. Another modern touch: the vegetarian reuben, with smoked king trumpet mushrooms.
Signature Nosh: For the corned beef sandwich, beef brisket is brined for a week in water, salt, sugar, garlic, coriander and other spices, then steamed and hand-sliced onto homemade rye. wisesonsdeli.com
Talking Tongue in Toronto
Caplansky's Delicatessen is all about homemade. The meats are cured and steamed in-house, French fries are hand-cut and knishes are made with puff pastry stuffed with house-smoked meat. "We make a burger with 70% ground chuck and 30% smoked meat," said owner Zane Caplansky. "It's not really how a burger should taste." But it is delicious. Signature Nosh: The pickled tongue sandwich, fresser-sized (Yiddish for "eater," which indicates a big sandwich). It's 12 ounces of pickled, boiled and sliced beef tongue on light rye, served with mustard. 356 College St., caplanskys.com

"I used to live a Bohemian life in Paris," aging, down-at-heel Marcel Marx (André Wilms) tells young Gabonese refugee Idrissa (Blondin Miguel).
The entire oeuvre of Aki Kaurismaki, Finland's poker-faced champion of downbeat humanism and Fifties rockabilly cool, is deeply infused with such nostalgic sentiment - and he has been directing for so long now (over 30 years) that a line like Marcel's can evoke not just times lost, but also Kaurismaki's own past filmography. For in Kaurismaki's La Vie de Boheme (1992), Wilms had already played the younger Marcel - but now he has washed up on the shores of Normandy's Le Havre where, despite shining shoes for small change, he lives a life of hand-to-mouth contentment with his beloved foreign wife Arletty (played by long-term Kaurismaki muse Kati Outinen).
When Arletty is hospitalised with an almost certainly terminal illness, Marcel decides to harbour Idrissa and help get the boy to his mother in London. The immigration police and the ambiguous Inspector Monet (Jean-Pierre Darroussin) are circling in, but as Marcel tells Idrissa's grandfather: "I'm not alone, I've friends" - and soon his entire community of marginalised proletarians comes together to resurrect the principles of liberte, egalite and fraternite for a new, post-9/11 world ruled by insularity and xenophobia.
Ever a master at remixing established genres in his own understated, elliptical idiom, Kaurismaki opens Le Havre with the shooting of a gangster, but keeps it off-screen, leaving Marcel to deadpan of his now dead customer: "Luckily he had time to pay." Then comes romantic melodrama, noirish cloak and dagger, religious allegory (note the priests, Easter-time setting and resurrection theme) and even a low-key 'let's put on a show' subplot shoehorned into the third act, while Marcel, in his underground efforts to smuggle Idrissa out of the country, is figured as a French Resistance movie hero (and his last scene with Monet is pure Casablanca). Kaurismaki's regular DP Timo Salminen shoots everything from an ironising distance, always preferring to have characters (typically still), rather than actions, in his frame, so that the story, though full of event, always retains its human focus.
The result is a film of rare, almost Capra-esque charm, in which the spirit of the past is always returning, good deeds reap simple - yet profound - rewards, and cherry blossoms that disappear for the winter come back in the spring.
A charming feel-good fantasy of 'Marxist' solidarity resurgent against the chill of post-9/11 modernity.

If you received your U.S. residency based on marriage to a U.S. citizen, but because of the recency of the marriage you were given conditional, rather than permanent residence (with a two-year expiration date), then you will need to fill out and submit USCIS Form I-751 to convert your conditional residency to permanent residency. See "Marriage-Based Conditional Residents: When and How to Apply for a Permanent Green Card" for details on the background of who needs to file and why.
Assuming you are eligible and ready to file the I-751 -- and you are still married and your U.S. spouse is cooperating with the process -- here is how to fill out the form. (If your spouse will not or cannot sign onto the form, see "What If Your U.S. Spouse Won't Sign the Joint Petition I-751?" for your next options.)
Form I-751 is available on the I-751 page of the USCIS website (www.uscis.gov).
Part 1, "Information about you": This refers to the immigrating spouse. The rest of this Part should be self-explanatory.
Part 2: If you are still married and the U.S. spouse is cooperating with the process of applying for your permanent residency, put an "X" in Box a.
Part 3: Mostly self-explanatory. You will probably know if you are in "removal or deportation proceedings." You would be in this situation if you had been convicted of a crime, given USCIS reason to believe that your marriage is fraudulent, or done something else to make you deportable. If you are in court proceedings, you should already have a lawyer, who should help you with this petition as well.
If you check "yes" to the question about whether a fee was "paid to anyone other than an attorney in connection with this petition," you have not done anything wrong, but that person needs to enter his or her name and other information.
Part 4: This Part refers to the petitioning spouse, not the immigrant. Self-explanatory.
Part 5: Self-explanatory.
Part 6: If you are requesting an accommodation at your interview because of a disability or impairment—such as having a sign-language interpreter—explain that here.
Part 7: It is very important that both of you remember to sign. Your two signatures are an indication of the ongoing validity of your marriage.
When you and your spouse are finished preparing the joint petition, make a complete copy for your files. Then send the packet of forms and documents to a USCIS Service Center—the address is in the instructions that come with the form, or you can call the USCIS information number at 800-375-5283.
As you may have learned by now, Service Centers are different than the local USCIS offices that you can actually visit. All contact with the Service Center will have to be by mail.
Using a courier service or certified mail with return receipt requested is highly recommended. USCIS Service Centers receive a huge volume of mail, and if your application gets lost, your proof of mailing will help convince USCIS to look for the petition or not penalize you for filing late.
Checklist for Filing Joint Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence
Here are the items you will need to assemble for your joint petition to remove the conditions on your residence and become a U.S. permanent resident:
Form I-751
Required supporting documents, including:
A copy of your current green card (or I-551 in the language of USCIS); copy both the front and the back sides
Evidence of your marital relationship from the last two years (or slightly less, depending on when you're filing), such as copies of leases or mortgages in both your names, copies of joint bank, credit card, and utility statements or bills, copies of children's birth certificates, and so forth.
Application fee ($505 as of early 2015, but fees change often so double-check this at www.uscis.gov, or by calling 800-375-5283); you can mail a check or money order
Biometrics fee (for photos and fingerprints; $85 as of early 2015).

Channeling Charted TV Themes
By Gary Trust
McKinley High School's most musical students began their sophomore year Tuesday (Sept. 21), as Fox's "Glee" began its second season (and drew grade-A ratings).
The "Glee" troupe performed versions of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' "Empire State of Mind," Lady Gaga and Beyonce's "Telephone," Travie McCoy's "Billionaire," "Listen," from "Dreamgirls," and "What I Did for Love," from "A Chorus Line."
"Season two begins with more budget cuts looming and the 'Glee' kids reeling from their loss at Regionals," Columbia Records, which releases and promotes the show's music, touted prior to the airing. "In episode one, 'Audition,' the club is in an 'Empire state of mind,' as there are new members to recruit in order to make it to New York for Nationals.
"This episode introduces Sunshine Corazon (Charice) and Sam (Chord Overstreet) but Rachel and Finn don't see eye to eye on them.
"Meanwhile, McKinley High has a new football coach, Shannon Beiste (Dot Marie Jones), who immediately shows herself to be a threat to both the 'Glee' club and the Cheerios," the label teased.
Upon the return of "Glee" - and a week before the "Glee" cast will likely extend its sum of Hot 100 entries past 64, the seventh-best total in the chart's history - Chart Beat looks back at 30 TV theme songs that have impacted Billboard charts in the past 30 years. (Even if "Glee" itself, a TV series that has revolutionized the way the medium has spotlighted music, features only an approximately two-second a capella vocal stab for its theme ...)
"Theme From the Dukes of Hazzard (Good Ol' Boys)," Waylon Jennings
No. 1 (one week) Country Songs, No. 21 Billboard Hot 100, 1980
"Theme From Greatest American Hero (Believe It or Not)," Joey Scarbury
No. 2 Hot 100, 1981
"Theme From Hill St. Blues," Mike Post
No. 10 Hot 100, 1981
"Theme From Magnum P.I.," Mike Post
No. 25 Hot 100, 1982
"Where Everybody Knows Your Name," Gary Portnoy (theme from "Cheers")
No. 28 Adult Contemporary, No. 83 Hot 100, 1983
"Theme From St. Elsewhere," Dave Grusin
No. 15 Adult Contemporary, 1984
"Miami Vice Theme," Jan Hammer
No. 1 (one week) Hot 100, 1985
"Peter Gunn," the Art of Noise featuring Duane Eddy
No. 2 Dance/Club Play Songs, No. 50 Hot 100, 1986 (Eddy had reached No. 27 on the Hot 100 with the theme in 1960, a year after Ray Anthony took his version to No. 8.)
"Moonlighting (Theme)," Al Jarreau
No. 1 (one week) Adult Contemporary, No. 23 Hot 100, 1987

Xtol works well replenished and if you do a search you will find detailed instructions about how to do it. It's quite easy.
Kodak documentation states that Xtol will keep for 6 months. Some people have reported keeping the stock solution longer than that, but it does not change color with age and from I understand, when it quits, it quits. If you use constant replenishment you can keep the process going for years by adding fresh developer with every roll developed. It becomes very cheap if you do that.
DD-X does get rather expensive mixing it 1:4 as the instructions suggest and using it one time. A single batch mixed 1:4 can be used for multiple rolls, but Ilford states the quality may not be quite as good or something like that. Some people use DD-X at higher dilutions e.g. 1:7 or 1:9 one-shot and that helps to reduce the price per roll. I recently picked up a bottle of DD-X to try when my current batch of Xtol reaches the 6 month time at the end of this month.

Has you Dr.Ckecked you for.....
Mine does the test at 24 weeks. With my first two pregnancies, it is one of the things I dread the very most! I don't eat a crazy amount of sugar normally, so that drink makes me incredibly sick and I am sick all day long. It's awful! With my first two, I never had to do the 3 hour, I passed the 1 hours both times. So, at my last appointment, I asked my doctor what my chances were of failing this time when I passed both times before. She asked me how big my previous babies were (both average, in the 7lbs) and told me my chances were slim. (Even though I'm overweight). Then she told me that I didn't have to take it! It was such a relief. She said she would just monitor my baby and if it started to get huge out of the blue we could test later on, but she's not worried about it. Thank goodness! What a relief. Good luck to everyone who takes it soon! I hope you all pass with flying colors. :)
I had my appointment yesterday - she said I'll do it next time at 25 wks. My next appt wouldn't be till about 29 wks, and that would be a little late I think.
Ill be getting my done tomorow. I'll be 20&4 Not looking fwd to the nasty beverage i'm going to have to chug down :P

Fullerton Police Finally Release Records per Mental Health Advocates' Request--But Are They Holding Back?
Categories: Kelly Thomas Killing
As promised, activists with Mind(ful) Liberation Project (MLP) have posted 22 pages of documents obtained from the Fullerton Police Department online. Prompted by the Kelly Thomas killing nearly a year ago, the organization filed a records-request for materials related to entry-level training and refresher courses on mental illness that officers receive. It went without formal response from the city for seven business days after the ten-day time frame required by California law until the Weekly called them on it and, poof, like magic, in came the documents. Coincidence? I think not!
Upon review, a central question arises: Is the city holding back or is this really all they have?
Upon review, a central question arises: Is the city holding back or is this really all they have?
In total, five sets of documents were released without any redacted portions. Four of them are dated after the Kelly Thomas killing. Two include very brief sections of the department's policy manual on mental illness commitments and homeless persons had already been made available to the public and were adopted in February of this year under Acting Police Chief Dan Hughes.
Most substantive of all--which is really not saying much--is the Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) enforcement training held over three dates in October 2011. Lesson plan outlines allude to issues of schizophrenia, field contacts with the mentally ill, and deescalation tactics being addressed. One section even asks, "Is Taser your only weapon?" How in-depth these training sessions were is impossible to ascertain. Again, these are just course outlines that were provided that are not much different than a college student's syllabus on the first day of class.
"The Crisis Intervention Team training is equivalent to what a Richmond patrol cop has," says Gary Llama, an activist with the Virginia-based MLP who obtained similar records from that department last year and compared them with Fullerton. He goes on to question what use the CIT would have in a Thomas-type scenario, anyhow. It was a patrol stop and not a stand-off situation. Nowhere, either, in any of the materials released is there mention of collaborations with the Centralized Assessment Team (CAT).
Megan Osborn, who has been the main contact for the organization, is not satisfied with what has been provided and is asking for additional manuals and training materials including Power Point presentations, course notes, course outlines, course handouts and required tests.
Only one document is dated prior to the July 5, 2011 incident and deals with entry level training and testing. The July 1, 2008 outline is an even slimmer than the CIT documents and mostly deals with the question of 5150 determinations of whether or not a person poses a danger to himself or others and learning general behavior indicators. One particular section suggests training on how to 'differentiate between courses of action for peace officers when dealing with a person who appears to be affected with by a mental illness and is 1) Dangerous or gravely disabled, or 2) Not dangerous or gravely disabled."
Without knowing the particulars, one would hope that the escalating tone and threat of force by Officer Manuel Ramos when he said "See these fists? They are getting ready to fuck you up if you don't do what we tell you," to a person who displayed cognitive difficulties in following orders is not among the recommended course of action.

|Correlation of spatial differences in concentrations of prolactin and growth hormone cells with vascular pattern in the female mouse adenohypophysis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 3345729 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Adult female mice of the DDY/S strain were used to study the distribution of PRL or GH cells and the vasculature of the anterior pituitary lobe. Electron microscopy was used to quantify PRL or GH cells in horizontal sections. Most parenchymal cells were either PRL or GH cells, and both types of cells were present in all regions. The densities of PRL cells in the rostral and caudal areas were significantly greater than that of GH cells. The density of GH cells was greater in the anterolateral wings. Thus, the spatial differences in concentrations of PRL and GH cells were reversed. The vasculature was studied with scanning electron microscopy of vascular casts and with stereoscopy of pituitary glands injected with India ink. The adenohypophysis was supplied by long and short portal vessels. The long portal vessels originated from the primary capillary plexus on the median eminence and the upper portion of the pituitary stalk, and they supplied rostral regions of the adenohypophysis. Most of the short portal vessels connected caudal areas of the anterior lobe with the posterior lobe, crossing the surface of the intermediate lobe. The blood in the short portal vessels may flow from the posterior lobe toward the anterior lobe. Thus, within the rostral and caudal areas, which are supplied by long and short portal vessels, respectively, PRL cells predominated; the anterolateral wings where GH cells predominated were far from these regions. These data suggest that the anatomical pattern of the blood supply may account in part for the spatial distribution of PRL and GH cells.

Rename items in skyrim

Not sure if this is just not possible or what, because I'm surprised it hasn't already been done. I, for one, am pretty tired of being stuck with certain names on items... Sure, you can rename items if you find a unenchanted item then proceed to enchant it yourself, but for everything else? And if you don't like the name of the item so much anymore, gotta go remake it... Maybe I'm alone in this, IDK, but I think it could be fairly popular. Sorry if this has already been brought up, honestly I'm surprised it's not already made (maybe impossible?) but I personally think it would be a great tool to rename items at will.

You can easily rename items in the CK, but I know of no good way to rename them in-game. Skyrim is just not set up to handle this well.

I second the request. A mod allowing easy renaming of items (without the need for CK and enchanting altars) would be quite useful.

Give this mod a try - it seems to offer what you are looking for.

It should have a code after pressing the ~ button, but I don't know what's the code. After clicking on the item, door, NPC, or other object to rename, you should be able to anter a code like; for example "rename.av player ****" or something like that. But I have know idea what the actual code is. Someone out there out to have figured out the code by now, but no one seem to know it.

Yeah, I'd like a mod for changing the names too, as far as I know there are two already out, but for running them there are a lot of requirements: SkyUi, Skse, Skyui s*** 1, skyui s*** 2, 3, this and that, and you just cant install anything without crashing your game.
It'd be nice to have the mod in one file and without thousand requirements.
BY THE WAY: does someone know how to instal the creation kit on a mac, I know there is a video, but it is not well explained and the guys there are very selfish and dont want to help .

For instance, when Mark Zuckerberg says in an interview that he wrote Facebook in 2 weeks, what exactly (or at least approximately) did he write? I imagine "user" objects in a big database or tree with the ability to negotiate links to other user objects, but I'm wondering how the overarching manager of the tree works. When a user log in, does the "main" program look up that user's object and fork off a process with it to interact with other user object while the user is logged in? Thanks.
You're kindof dancing around a topic that I don't feel you understand. To understand how he wrote Facebook, you need to know:
Learn those three topics, and it will come into focus.
You have to specify the scope of the application, "social app" is too generic a definition to specify an architecture in detail. User relations is just a part of such a system: messaging, groups, ratings, etc. you have to define the participation aspect, the social graph and presence. You usually build an app focusing on a strategy rather than the implementation details.
