Joseph Barin, corporate chef at Kraft Foodservice, calls himself the accidental chef. He started cooking at a young age, experimenting with the bold, bright Asian flavors of his childhood. In his twenties, he abandoned a slick career track in contract review for a less glamorous and less lucrative entry-level job in foodservice—and he's never looked back. Climbing the kitchen ladder over the last 20 years, Chef Barin has reached heights because of his innate talent, creative drive and admirable work ethic. At the Kraft Culinary Centre, he both supports the culinary team with their recipe development while creating his own menu solutions for Kraft customers.
Home: Chicago, Illinois
Education: BA in English, DePaul University, Chicago
Employment: I'm a corporate chef at Kraft Foodservice. I've been with Kraft Foods since 2000, working on everything from developing new recipes to shooting photographs for foodservice.
1st job in foodservice: When I was in my twenties, I was a dishwasher/delivery driver at a small catering company in Chicago.
Greatest accomplishments: I left a secure job analyzing contracts for an automotive-warranty program. There was nothing bad about the job—it was a great position—but I was dissatisfied. I dropped that really great job to go work an entry-level job at a small Italian catering company. I spent my time washing lettuce and washing dishes, and knew that that's where I wanted to be—in foodservice.
Favorite dish to cook at home: A Filipino version of congee called lugaw or lelot manok. It's like Chinese congee, but with a lot more ginger, chicken and lots of garlic—you get crunchy fried bits of garlic on top with scallions, sriracha and soy sauce. It's my favorite comfort food.
Favorite cookbook: Right now it's Southeast Asian Flavors: Adventures in Cooking the Foods of Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia & Singapore (Mortar & Press, 2008). It's got lots of great pictures that the author, Robert Danhi, actually took himself.
Most rewarding part of my job: Making the ordinary extraordinary! The creative process behind our recipe development is also very satisfying.
The two or three people from history (living or dead) with whom I would most like to have dinner: Not sure, but what's on the menu? I think I'd want to be at the table with Elvis and Julia Child—that would be crazy.
Sound byte: Serving people great food has its own rewards—whether it's a finely developed and perfectly executed dish or just a good bagel and cup of coffee—it feels great when that person goes off with a big smile on their face.
We had a lot of fun working up mini burgers using A.1. Thick & Hearty Steak Sauce. My favorite was the Mini Bao Burgers with Spicy Steak Sauce. I grew up eating steamed buns with meat inside, so this was a natural for me. We got a nice Asian-spiked steak sauce by adding hoisin and TAPATÍO.

This ethnographic study deals with several aspects of competence within the culture of American medicine. There is emphasis on the impacts of various ways in which "competence" is interpreted not only by various branches of the profession, but also by other professions such as law. The medical malpractice crisis of the 1980s is given considerable space, as are the various ways in which medical practice has modified itself through such means of self-regulation as risk management and quality assurance. The "astonishing" increase in claims against obstetricians is noted, as is the medical feeling of a "demise of the golden era of trust."
The book's first major section describes obstetrical care in a rural setting in Northern California, with transformation from small general practitioner—owned hospitals to larger nonprofit institutions whose boards of trustees attracted young specialists to the community. Conflict with the new arrivals—young, confident, and to the established general practitioners,

(written from a Production point of view)
The Official Star Trek Fact Files was a by Paramount Pictures licensed series of part-work magazines distributed in the UK, Europe and Australia by GE Fabbri, and was designed to give information about the Star Trek universe, written from an in-universe point of view. It ran from 1997 to 2002, with 304 issues of 24 pages each, totaling a work of 7296 pages of in-universe information.
In 2003, a translated version of the Fact Files was released in Japan, which, while much the same as the English language version, rearranged some parts and added some information, mostly to do with Star Trek: Enterprise and Star Trek Nemesis, resulting in a ten issue longer run of the Japanese version. [1] Between 1999 and 2004, a German language edition was also released under the title Die Offiziellen Star Trek Fakten und Infos as well as a French one, Star Trek Les Dossiers Officiels (published by Data Base Factory). The French edition came with one-episode VHS tapes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and unlike the German edition, did not complete the whole run of 304 issues, but ceased publication after 117 issues, making room for the newly conceived Star Trek: Les Nouveaux Dossiers Officiels. Likewise an Italian language edition, Star Trek Official Files, published by De Agostini was published but not completed, ceasing publication after 120 issues.[2]
The series covered all seasons of Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager and the first season of Star Trek: Enterprise, as well as the first nine films. Although based on canon productions, and featuring graphics and information directly taken from the studio, Fact Files often introduced non-canon speculation in its reference material. It did not incorporate any information from Star Trek: The Animated Series, for at the time of publishing TAS was not considered canon. For all language editions applied that each magazine consisted of a number of articles, to be taken apart and filed under their respective sections, they in turn to be collected in several binders (one binder being supplied every 16 issues).
Much of the information used in Fact Files was duplicated during the run of Star Trek: The Magazine, published by Fabbri Publishing (US), the US arm of GE Fabbri.
The Fact Files received some criticism in fan circles for inaccuracies, notably in the starship sections. However, as Larry Nemecek, a major contributor, explains in the talk section of the Akira class: "[...] in their defense, the Brits *were* promised all this tech and source detail they were used to with [their] other techie partworks, and then left hanging when it didn't exist--no excuse, but that's what happened. I did some tech writing, but mainly I tracked source refs, imagery and art materials in both the uncharted Licensing archives (some buried, that the dept. didn't even know existed) or from chased-down personal sources." (source) For this reason Fabbri employed an art department to supplement art and graphics where official source material was lacking.
An officially licensed publication, Paramount Pictures assigned three Star Trek staff members to assist Fabbri's editorial office in researching and collecting reference material for use in the publication, Penny L. Juday (credited as Penny Smartt-Juday) as research coordinator, Larry Nemececk as photo editor and author and from issue 71 onward Guy Vardaman as art director. Other Star Trek affiliated people who at certain times contributed were Tim Gaskill as consultant editor as well as Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens as authors.
As a parts work, each (double-sided) sheet was endowed with a designation, to wit, a "file"-number with a corresponding sub-ordinated "card"-number.
Section 1: A Guide to the Star Trek Galaxy
- This section featured a timeline of canon events, and file sheets on various planets, spatial phenomena and historical artifacts encountered by the crew of each show. It also featured specialized sections on the Federation, the Vulcans, the Klingons, the Romulans, the Cardassians, the Ferengi, the Dominion, the Borg and the Q Continuum. The final "file" in this section dealt with less influential and one-time-only aliens such as the Vidiians and the Mintakans.
Section 2: Federation Starfleet
- Covered various aspects of Starfleet, with specialized files on each canon USS Enterprise, Deep Space 9, the USS Voyager, the USS Defiant, Enterprise NX-01, various runabouts and shuttle seen in each series, and one-time-only ships and space stations such as the USS Melbourne, the USS Relativity and Deep Space Station K-7.
Section 3: Non-Federation Starships
- Featured files on non-Starfleet vessels from Federation races, such as the Phoenix and the Xhosa; Klingon starships, Romulan starships, Cardassian starships, Ferengi starships, Borg starships, Dominion starships, Maquis starships, and a file on various starships and bases belonging to the various other races seen on Star Trek, from Kazon ships to the Fesarius to the Caretaker's array.
Section 4: Personnel Files
- Featured files various characters seen on Star Trek, from James T. Kirk to Weyoun to Jetrel. It had a special file for Starfleet personnel, with special attention played to the main characters of each series, non-Starfleet Human characters, and a file each for Klingons, Romulans, Cardassians, Ferengi, Borg, Changelings, Androids, omnipotent beings (primarily various Q), Vulcans and a file for "guest" characters.
Section 5: Equipment and Technology
- Dealt with transporters, weapons, communication, Starfleet uniforms and other various pieces of technology seen on the series.
Section 6: Starship Log
- Contained a file for each Star Trek series (ENT seasons 2-4 are not covered) and every film up to Star Trek: Insurrection. Within each file was a sheet for each episode with a synopsis, stills, quotes (usually the Captain's Log from that episode), and trivia.
Section 7: Database
- Served as an index for the entire magazine series.

How can I stop worrying about money?
I'm scared my worries about money are affecting my baby. My husband just got laid off and now he's working only part-time. We're both still excited about the new baby, but I'm worried constantly about how we're going to afford everything.

I know your situation well im 2 months pregnant ,with a 3 year old , and a 2 year old all ready, i lost my job less that a week after i told them i was pregnant, and my husband got laid off the day before thanks giving, also on the same day we got an eviction notice in the mail, to be out jan 1st. Were scrambling to pull in all the resources that we can, but i just don't know. The best thing i can tell you is to just hang in there. There is always a way, It's just a matter of finding it. Good Luckposted 12/10/2004 by memonne3
Jennifer, do you remember that song, don't worry be happy?, that's what you have to convince yourself of. Your vibes (good or bad) are fed to your baby. Try to maintain a positive mindset and try to take a second look at what you really want and what you need. Anyone who runs out and spends thousands on a nursery and has every litte gadget for their baby is the "marketing bonanza"'s dream come true. The retail market for baby items by comapanies know this 'vulnerability' (mother's nesting instinct) and make, promote and sell every possible thing in the world imagineable but that doesn't mean you need everything. As an experienced mom, almost 3 times now, I can tell you exactly what you can get by with and what you need for a baby. Bottom line is there are resources, friends, other parents, consignment shops, second hand stores, thrift shops, recycling groups online, and other ways to get what you need to have instead of paying full price at stores. Diapers, some sleepers and light blankets are you child's primary needs, along with food (hopefully you'll breastfeed because it can't be beat for many health reasons and it's totally free and available all the time) and generally your baby doesn't need toys for the first 6 months, than to be honest with you kids like to play with the box and not the toy that came in the box. Please don't be a victim of advertisement and feel pressured by these marketing technics. Your baby needs you, a full belly and a safe, clean and dry place to sleep. Remember, "Be happy, don't worry!"posted 11/29/2004 by Baby_#3_due_May15
I am a 23y/o and I'm pregnant with twin boys. I know it will be difficult as my husband and I have bad financial difficulties. But worrying will just make the situation at hand (no money) even worse. Look towards friends, family, coworkers, neighbors...someone out there will be willing to help. Also, God won't give you more than you can handle. Turn to him with your struggles...it always works out the way He wants it in the end.posted 11/29/2004 by ErinYoung
Boy do i know how hard it can be to make ends meet, sometimes i think how we will manage to even put gas in the car, that is pretty embarrasing when you have to tell people you cannot go anywhere because you have no "gas". We make decent money but sometimes it seems like there are way too much expenses, we are VERY behind in medical bills, lots of collections bills coming to us, I cannot stand to even open the mail box or pick up the phone because they call too much. i have been shopping at the dollar store lately, you wouldn't believe the stuff you would find there, household cleaners, toothbrushes, shampoo, greeting cards, wrapping paper, all that piddly stuff that adds up. Plus I do not feel guilty buying my son a toy there once in a while..you would be suprised. Somehow, someway, we do manage to get through. Trust God and you will see, things somehow will always work out. Faith has definetly showed us the way.posted 10/19/2004 by MrsT'sbabies
I am new to this board, but I have been reading everyone's posts on here. I thought that I had it bad in my eyes, but I suppose after reading all your stories, I really don't, but I still have a dilemma. I am going to be 27 on Friday, my husband and I have been married for a little over 2 years now and have a nice house that we've had for a little over 3 years. I just found out about 2 weeks ago that I'm about 5 weeks pregnant. We weren't going to start "trying" until January, but we decided if it happened earlier, it happened and it was meant to be. I just started a new job in August and I'm not applicable for their insurance until November. And I do need to see a doctor obviously soon! But the new job I currently have isn't as great as I thought it would be, so I'd like to look for another job already. I am making less money, have no vacation, and I had better insurance from my last employer so I'm worried that the insurance issue will become a money problem for us. I checked out KidCare Illinois online and we make entirely too much money to apply for that (I make too much money a month alone), but then again, we can't afford a personal health insurance policy at about $400/month just for me. I was wondering what anyone else did if they were in that position. I have checked out Maternity Card online and spoken with a representative from there, but I am not sure I want to pay almost $1,000 for a year of savings that isn't pre-determined. They give you a generic savings amount (between 20-40%) which isn't enough for me since I don't really have $1,000 laying around. I was also wondering if anyone else has this program or heard any reviews, good or bad, about it. Any help in this situation with insurance would be appreciated. This just makes the thought of money problems arise in the future with the result of poor insurance coverage. And for those of you out there who are down and out...my husband lost his job over a year ago and was unemployed for 10 months and we made it. I have no clue how, but we made it. Our mortgage wasn't late, our bills weren't late, but I worried day in and day out that we were going to lose everything and have to live back at home. But somehow, we made it. I don't know if it was God looking down upon us and thought we could use some help since maybe he thought we'd been through enough or just luck (which has never been my strong suit), but something helped us. My husband got a job, lower pay, crappy insurance benefits, crappy hours, but nonetheless a job. He's looking too for a job with better insurance coverage with a larger company too. We're looking to move on up with our careers, but I realize it takes time. Any help with insurance matters would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you and good luck to you all with your financial woes. I am proof that it does work out in the end somehow, some way...posted 10/11/2004 by roxyobrien
I am 21 and 6 months pregnant with my first child, and money is really an issue. My boyfriend is having trouble finding a job, and I was just laid off. I receive WIC and was just approved for food stamps, but finding another job is hard. No one wants to hire a woman this far in her pregnancy, and one of us needs to find a job ASAP. Luckily we have this month with free rent, but what about next month? Does anyone know of places that would hire me being 6 months pregnant?posted 10/01/2004 by a BabyCenter Member

Cut back, cut back, cut back, on anything luxury. My DH and I had cable, cell phone, dsl, weekly restaurant dates etc. We cut those things out took our phone plan to a minimal, and also called our utilites company and they had a program where they would pay one bill for you if money ws tight. Also if you are having a hard time with food often times you can go to churches for help and during the holidays places like "good will" give out christmas baskets with food and toys for the children. You have to really keep your eyes and ears open. I always keep in my heart where there is will there is a way. Thats what my mother always told me and if you just kepp thinking everything will work out then it will. Good Luck.posted 09/01/2004 by a BabyCenter Member

LAMAR COUNTY, TX-- A Blossom mobile home went up in flames over the weekend.
Fire officials say around 5:30 Sunday morning they responded to a trailer home fire on County Road 44800.
When they arrived the home was fully engulfed. They say the homeowner tried to put out a grease fire with water--but it quickly spread. Crews battle the blaze for several hours.
Blossom, Faught, Reno and East Post Oak all responded. The home is a total loss, but no one was hurt.

One thing's certain, Marlins young left fielder Christian Yelich is definitely not allergic to ivy.
Yelich continued his resurgence Friday afternoon with a first-inning homer off Cubs starter Jason Hammel. He has now hit safely in all seven of his career games at venerable Wrigley Field, going 15 of 41 for a .365 batting average, that includes three homers.
Actually, Yelich is torching everyone of late, as he extended his hitting streak to six games (10 for 18/.555). After batting .220 in April and May, he batted .298 in June, and since May 25 has raised his average from .196 to .253.
"It sucks to get off to a start like that,'' said Yelich, 23, who had back...

I don't care how anyone tries to butter up the words, President Obama's administration negotiated indirectly or directly with terrorists for the release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. I write about double-minded Democrats (see my column regarding Democrats and photo I.D. when it comes to Somalis) and I will write about double-minded Republicans. Before this coward's release Republicans were prodding Obama to do all he could for this runaway who left his fellow platoon members alone. Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) urged the administration to "do all it can" to ensure Bergdalhl's (I'll call him coward) return, only to say today that a prisoner swap would hype up the terrorists.

The great divide of income inequality: a domestic crisis on the world's stage
By Marc H. Morial
Guest Commentator
"Income inequality" has become the political buzzword of 2014. President Obama, most recently in last week's State of the Union Address, has made it a central theme of his second term. Both progressive Democrats and conservative Republicans in Congress are making it a focus of this year's mid-term elections, and leading voices for human rights have called on government and business leaders to take immediate action to close the income gap for the sake of long-term economic and social stability. Two weeks ago, as the world's elite — leaders from government, business and NGO sectors — gathered in Davos for the World Economic Forum's (WEF) annual meeting, the issue of inequality was atop the agenda. WEF's Global Risks 2014 report recently revealed that the "chronic gap between the incomes of the richest and poorest citizens is seen as the risk that is most likely to cause serious damage globally in the coming decade."
Another voice was added to the chorus when the British-based anti-poverty organization, Oxfam International, released a report in advance of the Davos gathering, revealing that the richest 85 people in the world control as much wealth as the bottom half of the global population – about 3.5 billion people.

My New Year wishes are for good public policies
By Julianne Malveaux
NNPA Columnist
Happy New Year! January first and second are the days when most think of the "new" year, yet with the first Monday in January falling on January 6, that's probably when most people will return to their desks with focused energy and ready to go. Post-its and scrawled notebook paper will trumpet "new" resolutions. Eat less, relax more, volunteer, tithe, save, all that good stuff. Some will even compose a bucket list of things they'd like to do before the end of their lives. Continue Reading →

Cutting food assistance is not just morally wrong — it's bad economics
By William Spriggs
Guest Commentator
The U.S. Gross Domestic Product (the value of all goods and services in the economy) figures show GDP per person is $53,211. That's per person, not per family. Those figures also show we annually spend $2,797 per person on food — that's $233 per person a month. After netting out imports, we sell nearly $14 billion in food overseas. Clearly America is a wealthy nation that is fully food secure. Continue Reading →

Is President Obama a 'lame duck'?
You be the judge
In the last 20 days, discussion on both the left and the right has been about the failures of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the real name of what both sides call "Obamacare," long a term of pride for Democrats and one of derision for Republicans, and now one of confusion for both. With the elections of 2014 and 2016 looming, both parties are nervous, with the most scared trying to summarize it all in the term "lame duck." This is another way for both sides to not address the problems they fear: health care, education, housing, immigration, foreign affairs, entitlement programs, etc. "Lame duck" won't work. Obama has the courage and determination to persevere. One of two things will happen to the ACA: (1) repealed and replaced, or (2) kept but greatly modified. Continue Reading →

Because President Obama is Black does not mean we can't disagree and challenge poor policies. Liberal news media report daily that Obama had a bad week. How in the world can the president have a bad week living in the White House, having a private jet, servants, cooks and people that walk his little black doggy? People attacking his failing Obama Care sign-up-now act, both Republicans and Democrats, including Bill Clinton, indicates he lied to the people, and liberals call that a bad week for Obama. Oh yea, it's okay for Bill Clinton to break ranks and say Obama needs to keep his promise to the American people. Continue Reading →

Forklift driver/cook says hard work — not welfare — saves families
"Black people," says Anthony Zeigler, "have always been in a recession. We just deal with it." When life got tough, you simply hitched up your britches and kept stepping. "When it gets harder to find work, well, you just have to look harder, that's all. "In our culture, as African Americans, we learn how to handle things. Make do with what we have." Zeigler says of his home life as a youngster, "It was never an issue of how much money we had. Continue Reading →

What does it take to be a State Senator?
DFL Hayden describes full-time responsibilities of part-time role
By Charles Hallman
Staff Writer
When the 2013 Minnesota Legislative Session convenes January 8, State Senator Jeff Hayden officially will assume his office as Senate Deputy Majority Leader. The Minneapolis lawmaker is believed to be the first Black in history to be named to a high leadership post. Hayden told the MSR in an interview that Senate Majority Leader-designate Tom Bakk informed him of his new role November 14, nearly a week after the DFL became the majority party in both the Minnesota House and Senate in the Nov. 6 election. Hayden, Senator-elect Bobby Champion and St. Continue Reading →

A political Ponzi scheme: The fix was in with 2012 election
Shell-shocked Republicans are asking "What happened?" as they lick their wounds and offer recriminations and finger pointing regarding who to blame for losing the election. They are the Bernie Madoff Ponzi-like schemers, losers asking what happened. Were they suckers? Can they get a refund? It was like putting money in a paper bag and passing it to campaign collectors.

Video: Inside "Love Won Out"
In this multi-part series of videos Box Turtle Bulletin editor Jim Burroway discusses attending Love Won Out.
Daniel Gonzales
October 29th, 2007
A Culture Within A Culture
Love Won Out can sometimes be somewhat mysterious to those who are outside the evangelical world. What's more, homosexuality and the ex-gay movement largely exists outside the experience of the typical evangelical church-goer. This makes Love Won Out a unique culture within a culture.
Blaming Fathers For Gay Sons
Most of the Love Won Out audience consists of mothers and fathers of gay sons and daughters. Guess who Love Won Out singles out as the main culprit behind their son's homosexuality? Don't take my word for it — you can hear it straight from Joseph Nicolosi's lips.

The Pine Island Paradox
by Kathleen Dean Moore
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Loved this book. I would say that every oil executive who has anything to do with the Gulf oil disaster should be required to read and memorize this book. I have to believe that we, humans, are 'seamlessly connected to the natural world.' and 'our individual well-being can't be disconnected from the systems that sustain us.' And, 'we ought to act in ways that preserve the web of human-biotic relationships we cherish and depend on... our moral responsibility to care for the land [ocean] grows from our love for the land [ocean] and from the intricate life-giving relationships between people and their places. ... we have to take moral responsibility for the well-being of the air, the water, the land.'
Some deep conversations of the natural world.
My favorite way to spend an evening is to settle down in one of the big, overstuffed chairs at the local coffee shop with a latte and a book of essays. I'm pretty sure essays, and nature essays in particular, are my favorite form of expression. I love to know what someone else is thinking, and how they came to think it. And I love to compare notes with my own experiences in nature. This is the third book of essays I've read by Kathleen Dean Moore, and maybe the best of the lot. She is a philosophy professor and about my age, with children my children's ages, and I am always thinking to myself when I am reading her, "Here is a person I'd like to go hiking with." I haven't spent a great deal of time in the Pacific Northwest that she writes about, but my oldest son just moved to Seattle, so I plan to visit soon. Meantime, I have to be careful talking this to the coffee shop. Several of her essays had me teary-eyed, and one, about her father, left me weeping out loud. Left-over grief from his passing last October, no doubt, but it felt wonderful to share that experience with someone who understood the way it feels.
By a philosophy prof and nature writer. Essays on stitching together the rent-asunder, mostly set in Alaska and Oregon. (She owns property on the Mary's River. She never described where it was, but I'm betting that it's between Blodget and Wren.)
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
No descriptions found.
A talented storyteller and sage philosopher, the author of Riverwalking shares personal stories about the separation of humankind from nature, challenging Western notions that such a divide is possible, even sacred. In this warm, stimulating brew of personal stories, acclaimed author Kathleen Dean Moore uses the metaphor of an island to challenge the cynicism inherent in the Western worldview. A gifted storyteller with a sly sense of humor, Moore explores three separations brought to us by Enlightenment philosophers: separation of human from nature, of things near and far away, and of the sacred from the mundane. Challenging each, such as Descartes' idea that humans have a discrete consciousness and can alter creation while remaining unaltered themselves, she reveals why such divisions don't tally with the values expressed daily in the way people live. Moore disguises her philosophical explorations in stories: about vacationing on a tiny island in Alaska, visiting her father in the hospital, watching grouse perform their mating dance in the desert. Throughout, she shows that, when properly observed, the world is full of opportunities to find hidden connections.… (more)

Deconstructing an Aquarium
I'm trying to take a side of glass out of my aquarium and replace it with another sheet. I've scraped all the silicone off around it but I'm not sure how to actually detach the piece. In the past I've heard of using a thin wire and pulling it down the crease, but I've tried that before and it ended up cracking and breaking one of the panes of glass being separated. Any suggestions?
A really sharp, long bladed, pointed exacto knife and a lot of patience. I did this to a tank I was given and it took me 2 hours to slowly cut out as much of the silicone as I could between the panes to get it apart without breaking it.
As for a wire, you might try heating it but I would be very cautious and make sure that melting silicone does not give off any toxic or noxious chemicals. I have seen instructions for using a wire but they used a wire that had some texture to it and used it as a saw lightly pulling it back and forth to physicaly remove the silicone instead of cut it. Steel fishing leader can sometimes be found in a small diameter that could be used to do this as it is actually braided. Just make sure to find the stuff that is not coated with anything or you can at least feel some sort of texture so it will remove the silicone.
What about a very thin/small blade for a coping saw? They have very tiny ones.
just realized i never responded.....
but, i tried the exacto knife and it worked perfect! thanks :)

Hendrickson scratched

"We've got enough pitching,'' Trembley said.

DECATUR, Ga. (AP) -- Four DeKalb County firefighters are under
investigation after they were accused of showing up to work drunk
during the snowstorm.
DeKalb County Fire Chief William O'Brien said Friday that two
firefighters are on unpaid administrative leave and the other two
are under investigation.
The allegations come after a group of firefighters went to a Decatur bar after work on Tuesday night.
County Chief Operating Officer Richard Stogner said the officers
were supposed to work at 7 a.m. Wednesday but were called into work
early. He said that's when one employee called officials to report that several firefighters appeared intoxicated.
O'Brien told WGCL-TV it was an "active investigation" and he
couldn't identify the firefighters.

Most homes have at least one bedroom, if not two, that are unused most of the time. They might have the occasional guest, but they typically are empty. If you are shopping for a queen quilt set for a room that doesn't get much use, you should be first concerned with the appearance of that set. Most often, the bed will be made and the quilt sets most important job will be to look good as part of the décor of the room. You can pick from stripe, contemporary, or solid designs depending on your personal taste and the other features of the room. No matter which queen quilt set you choose, you always get free shipping on your entire order.
On the opposite side, a quilt set that is going in your master bedroom needs to excel in form and function. You still want it to look great, or course, but it also needs to be comfortable and keep you warm. The weight of the quilt and coverlet set should be perfect so that you can sleep under it most of the year in the climate where you live. Getting a nice queen quilt set for your bed is no use if you can't sleep with it because it is too warm or not warm enough. A down quilt can be a great choice because of its lightweight feel, yet warm insulation.
The great thing about shopping for a queen quilt set online with free shipping is that you will have a whole world of styles and colors to pick from. If you have a specific taste that you just know will complement the rest of your house, you shouldn't have any trouble finding a quilt set to match when shopping online. A quilt cover that has a stripe pattern, for example, could look great in a bedroom with only solid colors elsewhere. However, your preference might be a contemporary design or just a solid color – not to worry, you will have no trouble finding a queen quilt and coverlet set that meets those demands as well. Remember when shopping that the queen quilt set is just one part of the room design, so consider everything else around it when settling on a final purchase – and you get free shipping!
Many queen quilt sets come with a quilt cover over the down quilt interior so you can change the cover, and the whole style, quickly and easily. If you are wanting a quilt and coverlet set that is able to adjust to your different design themes throughout the year, getting a quilt set that has a removable quilt cover is the perfect solution. The down quilt inside can still be on your bed night after night, but you won't be stuck with the same look forever. Purchasing a queen quilt set with free shipping online is easy when you start to narrow down what you want in a quilt set and only consider choices that meet those criteria.
If you never change your décor, or only want a simple, solid color for your quilt set, it isn't necessary to get one with a removable cover. Quilt sets with fixed covers are just as nice, and just as comfortable, as those with removable covers. In fact, you might even save a few dollars on your queen quilt set order when you choose to purchase a down quilt set with a permanent cover. Regardless of the final product you settle one, most sites will have free shipping to get your queen quilt set to you quickly and affordably.

All men make faults, and even I in this, Authorizing thy trespass with compare, Myself corrupting, salving thy amiss, Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are; For to thy sensual fault I bring in sense,-- Thy adverse party is thy advocate,-- And 'gainst myself a lawful plea commence: Such civil war is in my love and hate, That I an accessary needs must be, To that sweet thief which sourly robs from me. --William Shakespeare
LXIV When I have seen by Time's fell hand defac'd The rich-proud cost of outworn buried age; When sometime lofty towers I see down-raz'd, And brass eternal slave to mortal rage; When I have seen the hungry ocean gain Advantage on the kingdom of the shore, And the firm soil win of the watery main, Increasing store with loss, and loss with store; When I have seen such interchange of state, Or state itself confounded, to decay; Ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate-- That Time will come and take my love away.

Kindle Fire is now the most popular Android device and also the second most popular tablet after Apple's iPad (data by ComScore for Q1,2012).
Canadians coming accross such headlines in the media are often left wondering as to why a popular device like Kindle Fire is not available for sale in Canada.
How to Buy Kindle Fire in Canada
The easiest way for Canadians to buy a Kindle Fire would be to contact anyone living within the geographic locations of the United States and ask them to buy a Kindle Fire for you.
You can either have the device shipped to your address in Canada or pick it up in person during your visit to the US.
Those who do not have friends or a relative living in the United States can make use of the following options.
- Order Kindle Fire from Amazon's international site and provide the closest UPS store in USA as your shipping address. You can then drive to the UPS store accross the border to pick up your kindle Fire.
- The second option would be to make use of companies like Vpost, Borderlinx and Comgateway that can either buy Kindle Fire on your behalf or allow you to order Kindle Fire to their (third party) address.
Does Kindle Fire Work in Canada
Now that you have landed a Fire in your hands! – you for sure would like to make use of it, especially the free month's trial of Amazon Prime that lets you stream free movies, music, videos and TV shows.
However, the bad news is that Amazon Prime does not work in Canada, and you will also be unable to download 'Apps' to Kindle Fire from Amazon's Marketplace.
While some of you may say 'What the Fish', most people are generally left wondering:-
'What else can i do with a Kindle Fire in Canada' or 'How can i use Kindle Fire in Canada'.
What Can You Do With a Kindle Fire in Canada
Regardless of whether you are in Canada, UK or anywhere outside of the US borders, you can put the Kindle Fire to good use and will be able to do the following:-
- Connect to internet using any WiFi network
- Buy/Read Books and magazines
- Watch Videos and listen to music
- Stream movies, music and TV shows to Kindle Fire from a home PC by using 'Splashtop' App, that lets you access any file on your computer via a WiFi network
- Download Apps from the Android Marketplace – As described below
- And, more in case you are determined to get the most out your $199
How to Download Apps on Kindle Fire in Canada
Amazon's Marketplace for 'Apps' is limited to US residents only, which means that you will not able to download any 'Apps' to your kindle Fire in Canada. While this may seem frustrating, there some easy ways of downloading Apps to Kindle Fire.
- The system basically requires you to have a US address and a US credit card attached to your account. If you can manage the address part, it is not difficult to find a prepaid US Visa or Mastercards that is available for non US residents.
- Buy Apps with 'Getjar', 'SlideMe' or other Android Market Place sellers – as described below
- Side load apps to Kindle Fire – as described below
Downloading Third Party Apps to Kindle Fire
Kindle Fire by its default settings is limited to Amazon's Market Place for 'Apps'. In order to download apps from third parties you will first need to configure your Kindle Fire to recieve/install third party applications.
Here is how you can do that in Six Easy steps
1. tap on=> "settings" icon on your kindle Fire
2. tap on=> 'more' =>
3. Scroll down and tap on=> 'device'
4. Scroll down to "allow installation of applications"
5. tap on =>"ON" to allow installation of applications from unknown sources.
You will see a security warning on kindle Fire, which you need to ignore (at your own risk!) in case you want to install Apps.
Your Kindle and personal data are less secure and there is a risk of unexpected behaviour when using applications from unknown sources. You agree that you are solely responsible for any damage to your kindle or loss of data that may result from using these applications. – Amazon
6. Select 'Web' on Kindle Fire and go to www.getjar.com
On this website you will be prompted to install "getjar.apk" which you should install, and you will be able to freely download any 'Apps' that you require from getjar.com.
Side Loading Apps to Kindle Fire
The term side loading is used to describe the process of transferring Apps from other devices to Kindle Fire.
The basic idea is to download 'Apps' on a 'smartphone' that has full access to Android Market Place and transfer the 'Apps' to Kindle Fire using steps listed below:-
- First, configure the Kindle Fire to allow installation of applications from outside sources by following steps 1 to 6 as described above
- Download Apps to a Smartphone that has access to Android Market Place sellers.
- Create a new folder on the SD card of smart phone, say "Goodies for fire"
- Backup or copy the apps(.Apk files) into this new folder.
- Connect the Smartphone to a PC and transfer the apps to a folder on the PC desktop
- Connect Kindle Fire to the PC using a USB cable.
- Now simply Drag and Drop the apps (.apk files) from your PC to Kindle Fire.
How About Rooting Kindle Fire
The term 'Rooting' is used to describe the process of gaining administrative access to Android devices, similar to 'Jailbreaking' associated with iPhones.
By gaining administrative rights you can potentially bypass the limitations imposed by the manufacturer and turn Kindle Fire into a full blown Android Tablet.
- Buy Apps from Android Marketplace – Not limited to those offered by Amazon
- Install the latest version of Android software – Ahead of Amazon which may hold back updates
- Improve speed, add new themes, edit Maps, calender, images and etc, etc.
The procedure for Rooting Kindle Fire is widely available on the internet and is meant for those who are tech savvy and comfortable tinkering with their devices.
A rooted Kindle will cut you out of Amazon Prime and software updates from Amazon. While this may sound scary, there is a way to unroot Kindle Fire and regain access to these services.
In case all this sounds too techy and bothersome there is Blackberry Playbook (100% Canadian) which is often available at deeply discounted prices.

Ticket-toppers: Sens. Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Tribune photos.
by James Oliphant and Mark Silva
DENVER -- Sen. Joe Biden, a Delaware Democrat with decades of experience in foreign and domestic policy, will join Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois on the Democratic Party's 2008 presidential ticket, the Obama campaign announced.early this morning.
As promised by the Obama campaign, the word arrived by text-message on cellphones just after 3 am EDT, with the two planning an early afternoon rally today in Springfield, Illinois, where Obama first launched his "adacious'' campaign for president in February 2007.
It was 3:04 am EDT, nowhere near the White House, and the telephone was ringing: with a text: "Barack has chosen Senator Joe Biden to be his VP nomineee. Watch the first Obama-Biden rally live at 3 pm ET on www.BarackObama.com. Spread the Word!'' (AP says word went up on the Web-site first, so much for exclusives.)
For Biden, 65, the choice amounts to something like a political resurrection, one that took nothing less than 20 years, and one that has seen him evolve from firebrand to party statesman.
Buried for dead as a national candidate for office after a plagiarism scandal forced his exit from the presidential race in 1988, Biden remade himself into a Washington wonk and Sunday talk-show quote machine, eschewing the Georgetown party circuit and K Street lobby shops for the worlds of constitutional law and international diplomacy.
In that vein, he should give Obama the chops of a seasoned vet, especially in the sphere of foreign policy, delivered with the assurance of someone at home in the national spotlight and--given Biden's penchant for extended and embellished oratory--delivered in manner that could have listeners glancing at their watches.
His penchant for saying his mind, regardless of the talking points, could pose a hazard down the line if and when Biden departs from the script. And with 35 years in the Senate, his presence on the ticket does nothing for Obama's contention that his presidential bid marks a new era in American politics. He's also a true centrist, with a more hawkish position on Iraq, for instance, than his running mate.
The six-term senator chairs that body's prestigious Foreign Relations Committee, providing him with expert insight into global hotspots such as Iraq and Pakistan. It was Biden, during his short-lived presidential bid last year, who repeatedly insisted Pakistan was a growing source of instability well before the assassination of its former prime minister, Benazir Bhutto, and the recent ouster of President Pervez Musharraf.
Biden and Obama hold differing views on the war in Iraq. Biden voted for the original Senate authorization to use force in Iraq, but has since been a frequent critic of the way the American military executed its occupation plan. During his campaign, Biden pushed for a plan--ultimately endorsed by a majority of the Senate--for the establishment of a new tri-partisan Iraqi governmental structure for home rule.
With his Foreign Relations chairmanship comes access to power that was not enjoyed by any other contender for the No. 2 slot on the ticket. For example, Biden last weekend [Aug. 16] traveled to Georgia to observe the conflict with Russia first-hand and perhaps boosting his vice-presidential chances in the process.
Biden is also a former chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, serving as the Democratic point man in the bruising Supreme Court confirmation hearings of Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas. He helped deny Bork's bid for the high court, earning him the emnity of conservative activists and suggesting that Biden could play a large role in future high-stakes judicial nominations.
He has proven to be a reliable moderate on crime issues--particularly where narcotics are concerned--and was a principal author of the 1994 crime bill that placed 100,000 more police officers on the streets through a federal grant program. That bill also expanded the reach of the federal death penalty.
That expertise and his years as a Senate stalwart likely provides Biden the stature to go after John McCain's record, especially on foreign policy, in a manner that Obama cannot. He also, as he proved in the Democratic debate last October in Philadelphia, is able to deliver an armor-piercing zinger with his trademark wide-angle smile. His quote about GOP candidate Rudolph Giuliani saying nothing more than "a noun and a verb and 9/11" echoed in political circles long after Biden's presidential bid came to an end. He will hold little back in the coming days.
Perhaps as important to Obama could be Biden's connection with middle-class voters. Biden was born in 1942 in Scranton, Pa, the son of a car dealer. And still has strong ties to that state by virtue of his popularity in neighboring Delaware, perhaps giving Obama a leg up in that crucial battleground. His appeal to moderate, white Catholics could help shore up a weakness exposed in Obama's battle with Hillary Clinton.
Biden's was a solidly blue-collar Irish Catholic upbringing, one that left him a lasting template by which he has built his own life. He has devoted much of that life to raising his three children, Beau, Hunter, and Ashley, famously commuting home to Wilmington, Del each evening from Washington by train while they were growing up.
He has reason to be so doting. His first wife, Neilia, and baby daughter, Naomi ("Amy"), were killed in a horrific car accident in 1972, just after Biden was first elected to the Senate. He has been married to his second wife, Jill, a teacher, for 30 years. His close-knit family circle includes his sister, Valerie Biden Owens, who serves as Biden's unofficial political adviser.
Beau Biden, 39, is now the attorney general of Delaware and a captain in that state's National Guard. Hunter, 38, is a Washington lobbyist. Ashley, 27, is a social worker. Because of his blue-collar background, the fact that he has served in the Senate for virtually all of his professional career, and his single-minded devotion to his family, Biden has often referred to himself as the poorest member of the Senate.
Twenty years ago, Biden was, in a sense, the Obama of his time, a young turk of a politician with a gift for soaring, transcendental rhetoric. But his first bid for the presidency imploded in 1988 when he was accused of plagiarizing a speech by British politician Neil Kinnock that described the candidate's working-class roots. Biden was forced from the race after the campaign of eventual nominee Michael Dukakis circulated a videotape with Biden failing to give credit to Kinnock for a speech he gave in Iowa.
Biden, however, had credited Kinnock with the remarks in his other speeches, leaving many of his supporters at the time--and long after--feeling like Biden was pushed from the stage illegitimately. Now, in yet another twist in this dramatic election year, the stage calls him again, two decades later.

I first heard of CL from some wickedly creative guy that I thought was little nuts. ;)
I use Mozilla firefox and the great add on called stumble, you tick your preferences i.e. graphic design and painting and wammo it sends up all these new randomly picked sites that relate to your likes..............and this one was a big winner my biggest problem will be moving on to the work I need to get done now I'm hooked
A friend of mine told me about that site during a msn chat session, so I checked, and I got hooked too.
Was reading an interesting post at Boing Boing... I followed the link to the point of origin which tuned out to be a Suicide Girls blog. Scrolling down past the original topic's entry, I saw a cool post about COLOURlovers. I clicked a link provided and the rest is history.
I was swindled into it!

A post somewhere on Kirupa…
In MyYahoo appeared suggestions of cool sites. I entered right then, but I registered about four months later, although I checked frecuently the site. I think I didn't understand qhat the site was really about. Then I got a COLOURaddict, ans still I am.

'Art Affair' was a day of art, music, and fun. The showcase highlighted the level of skill, depth of knowledge and creativity each artist brought to their craft. Patrons expressed their delight at seeing the historical representations of Jamaican architecture, food and culture in the items displayed. While these great pieces of work appealed to art collectors all over the island, Stewart's Hardware sought to widen its appeal and reach to surrounding communities. Stewart's Hardware reached out to surrounding school communities such as Glenmuir High, Spanish Town High, Vere Technical, Garvey Maceo High, and Denbigh High for support. Chairman of Stewart's Hardware, Baron Stewart, explained that "the community of May Pen needs and deserves this kind of arrangement and we are especially excited to get our young people on board. We are fully dedicated to our many outreach programmes in May Pen and its environs".
For budding artists Jason Hall and Dvane Cunningham, Art Affair proved to be the ideal platform to gain exposure for their work. Hall, who utilises warm tones of orange, red and green to depict male and female forms in various dance sequences, received praise for his eye-catching tribute to the Jamaica 50 anniversary celebrations with his piece 'Jamaica Fifty'. Despite their age, the Spanish Town High alums were no strangers to showcasing their talents, both having entered the JCDC competitions and placing in top categories.
"I believe art, whether it's drama, dance, painting or music is the softer side of learning. I think it's important for the students to realise that everyone learns differently and that each talent is equally important. My students have come a long way in their appreciation for the visual and creative arts and I must commend Stewart's Hardware for taking the initiative to get the schools involved", commented Kerinth Campbell, principal of Foga Road High School in Clarendon. "Having their work displayed here at the Art Affair is a good avenue to help students build their confidence; seeing their own artwork and (the) artwork of their friends on display, makes them feel proud of their creative abilities," she continued.
Source of valuable information
Junior Atkinson, art teacher and head of the art department at Garvey Maceo High, agreed with Campbell, noting the challenges he faced in getting his students to appreciate art as a multifaceted discipline.
He lamented the students' gravitation to certain aspects of visual art because of popularity and their lack of understanding that every aspect of the field has its own importance. Atkinson expressed his delight at the opportunity to expose his students to the different works on display at Sunday's event. He believes the students' direct contact with the veteran artists was a source of valuable information that helped to solidify his teachings on the discipline and encouraged them to keep an open mind.
Patrons were also encouraged to sample wines, beers and other beverages courtesy of Select Brands, J. Wray & Nephew, Red Stripe, Lascelles Wines, Caribbean Producers, and Grace Kennedy Ltd.
Stewart thanked the artists and patrons for their continued support. He also used the opportunity to start exposing the plans for Stewart's 40th Anniversary celebrations to begin next year.
Other sponsors of the event included National Commercial Bank, Sherwin Williams, Dunn's Electrical, Maxie's Department Store, Rototech, B-H Paints, and Light It Up International.

The album "Insatiable" is expected to be released on 8 November 2010 and will be sold exclusively in Tesco stores, although it will also be available in online muNot bad, sounds all jazzy and suits Nadine's vocal style. But the video was kinda a let down. Good job. I can't wait to hear and see the rest of the album.

Laura + Josh // The All Brevis Wedding // Mexico from StillMotion on Vimeo.
So, what's all this hype about?
With the newly released Canon 5D MK11 (a dSLR that shoots HD video) starting to get into the hands of consumers, samples of the quality of video this camera can shoot have started popping up all over the internet. In recent weeks this has sent waves of speculation throughout the industry. Some call this camera a 'game changer' with photographers now being able to shoot high quality video with the exact same camera body and lenses that they use to shoot photo. Many feel that this poses a serious threat to videographers, while some videographers are also looking at this as an opportunity to start adding on photography to remain competitive.
Our take on all of this?
The 5D MK11 is a remarkable and amazing tool, but ultimately like everything else we use, it's simply a tool. While the ability to create stunning video are in the hands of more people than ever, we think it is prudent to remember that a film, whether it be that of a wedding or otherwise, is much more than just super shallow video.
We fundamentally believe that a strong wedding film is achieved primarily via character driven storytelling. It involves the creative documentation of real moments in a manner that always drives the story forward. Creative sequencing, colour correction and grading, sound mixing and editing, composition, lighting and music also play crucial roles. Of course, StillMotion fans will be the first to also recognize that a healthy balance of well motivated camera movement further heightens story as well as emotions.
While some certainly may be able to pick up a 5D MK11 and begin creating compelling and emotional films that we would all want to watch, it is important to remember just how much goes into a single wedding film and to not lose sight of the end for the means. Much like photography, cinematography is more than just pushing a button on the back of a camera.
So, our goal for this ambitious project was to create the most filmic wedding highlights clip that we could without touching the new 5DMK11. We spoke to Dennis at Cinevate, one of our sponsors, and he was more than happy to get involved and set us up with all the gear we needed (cameras and lenses). We were already heading down to Mexico to film a TTD shoot for Laura + Josh, so I called Laura and told her we wanted to come out for her wedding and try something we had never done before. Needless to say, she was incredibly excited to have us there for her wedding as well.
Our vision was to shoot this piece entirely with 35mm adapters - something that is a first in the industry, at least to this extent. Tony, Konrad, and I flew down to Mexico with 4 complete Brevis setups, a soon to be released slider, a steadicam, as well as a couple lights and tripods. John came along to film the behind the scenes for the wedding day, as well as the photography for the TTD.
Overall it was quite the learning experience, however we believe we created a very moving piece that tells the story of Laura + Josh. Our goal was to create the most filmic wedding highlights we have done to date but we want you to notice how the piece is so much more than just the imagery. While we do not deny that the tools can enable, ultimately it is the synergy and vision that brings it all together, creating something that is so much more.
PS - The music in this piece is 'Gravel Lines', used with permission from Amy Seeley. Thank you so much Amy!!

9 creative photo ideas to try in June 2013
09 Shoot creative wide-angle views
We want to see how creatively you can be when it comes to squeezing more of the world into a picture. The wider the lens, the more you can capture in a single frame, but don't feel you need an ultra-wide optic.
Why not combine several individual shots in a panorama or 'vertorama', as photographer Roland Shainidze has done for this interior shot? You don't even need a wide-angle lens to do this, as a standard zoom works perfectly with this technique.
Shooting wider views doesn't mean simply tracking a zoom to its widest setting and capturing the full expanse of a scene; the focal point can become increasingly small in the frame and you might leave too much 'dead' space in the foreground.
Obviously this might be your intention, but wide-angle lenses give very effective results when used up close, exaggerating the size of foreground objects in relation to the background.
Get started today…
* Use leading lines to take the viewer from the foreground to the focal point.
* Get creative with the distortion caused by holding a wide lens close to a subject.
* Avoid using more than one filter with ultra-wide lenses as these can cause darkening at the corners of the frame.

Air Force WaveRider exceeds 3,000 mph
Friday was marked by extremes in experimental aviation.
An unmanned aircraft developed for the Air Force went hypersonic during a test off the Southern California coast, traveling at more than 3,000 mph.
While to the north, a solar-powered airplane left Northern California for the first leg of a planned cross-country trip that its co-pilot described as a "milestone" in aviation history.
The Solar Impulse — considered the world's most-advanced sun-powered plane — left Moffett Field in Mountain View just after dawn. Its creators said the trip is the first attempt by a solar airplane capable of flying day and night without fuel to fly across America.
Meanwhile, the X-51A WaveRider flew for more than three minutes under power from its exotic scramjet engine and hit a speed of Mach 5.1, or more than five times the speed of sound.
The test marked the fourth and final flight of an X-51A by the Air Force, which has spent $300 million studying scramjet technology that it hopes can be used to deliver strikes around the globe within minutes.
The previous three flights ended in failure or didn't reach the intended speed.
Though the WaveRider was designed to reach Mach 6, or six times the speed of sound, program officials were satisfied with its performance in the latest test.
"It was a full mission success," program manager Charlie Brink of the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base said in a statement.
The sleek, missile-shaped WaveRider was released from a B-52 bomber 50,000 feet above the Pacific and was initially accelerated by a rocket before the scramjet kicked in.
It reached Mach 4.8 in less than half a minute powered by a solid rocket booster. After separating from the booster, the scramjet engine was ignited, accelerating the aircraft to Mach 5.1 at 60,000 feet.
The flight ended with a planned plunge into the ocean.
The Solar Impulse, meanwhile, plans to land at Sky Harbor airport in Phoenix, Dallas-Fort Worth airport in Texas, Lambert-St. Louis airport, Dulles airport in the Washington area and New York's John F. Kennedy airport. Each flight leg will take about 19 to 25 hours, with 10-day stops in each city. The delicate, single-seat aircraft flies at around 40 mph.
