Interview: 'Cabin in the Woods' star Fran Kranz talks endless delays and 3D
'Dollhouse' actor talks reuniting with Joss Whedon: Can the film be spoiled?
PHILADELPHIA -- Like anybody involved in a horror film, "Cabin in the Woods" star Fran Kranz doesn't want any of his movie's secrets spoiled before it goes wide to theaters on Friday. In a way, though, it'd be impossible to fully spoil the twists and turns of Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard's thriller, which is as much a love letter to past cinema as it is a fulfilling way to reinvent it.
At a HitFix-hosted early fan screening last night in Philly, Kranz was on hand to talk about his "Cabin" character Marty, the endless delays in release and how a film of such abundant in a post-internet, rumor-mongering era can still find success.
"I have a lot of faith that the movie can't be completely ruined. There's no one twist or one spoiler. Maybe it is important… to make a film like this so full and so dense. Even if I tried, it'd just end up sounding insane," Kranz said. "We have a lot of layers of defense."
But yeah, still,:don't do it. It's already difficult not getting carried away when it comes to Joss Whedon's projects, particularly for his biggest fans. The "Buffy" creator combined powers with director Goddard in writing the script, and reunited with Kranz, one of his "Dollhouse" actors.
"I auditioned for this movie in 2008, during first season of 'Dollhouse,'" Kranz said.
From there, getting the film out in theaters had as many plot twists as the movie itself. MGM shelved the project, filed for bankruptcy, re-slated it, spent time considering a 3D conversion and then finally sold it to Lionsgate.
"I just thought the movie was so great that I didn't lose faith in it, but I know that a lot of other people did, and so I was the crazy guy that still was holding on to 'Cabin in the Woods,'" Kranz said. "I couldn't let go of it, to the point where my parents and friends were like, 'Poor Fran, he's still talking about "Cabin in the Woods."'
"I believed it was a really great role for me and it was a great movie. It was obviously a hard journey we went on… nowadays, seeing posters and previews and talking about it with you guys, it does start to feel like it was yesterday… it was a slow period of validation, sweet revenge for people who were like 'It's not gonna happen.'"
As for the threat of 3D conversion, "I thought that was crazy. We were all pretty heartbroken about that, Drew especially," Kranz continued. He said that Whedon was already up to his ears in "The Avengers" 3D process, and that he and others were relieved the film stayed as 2D. "None of us were 3D fans. 'Cabin in the Woods' has no business being 3D, especially because it's a nostalgic piece, an ode, an homage… it got to Lionsgate and they were like, 'Yeah, 3D is insane.' That's how I know we're in the right hands, with a studio that loves the film like it is."

Winona Forever: 10 Years Anniversary
So, today our website is turning 10 years old. It's crazy how many time has passed and yet, it doesn't seems so.
Winona Forever is my passion project, created due a wish to have a place to reunite fans and show my appreciation on this amazing actress. And here we are, 10 years later. Thanks everyone who's with us since our first post!
To celebrate, as you can see, we have a new layout featuring the gorgeous images published on Red magazine. I had other things planned, but unfortunately, it didn't work. I hope you like the layout, tho!
We have a new look!
As you can see, we have a new look up here! I really love our previous one, but I couldn't help changing it using this beautiful pictures of Interview magazine. The gallery has a matching theme as well, and I would like to thanks OhMyMorning for the theme base. The site's content are going to be updated sometime this week, so keep checking. Don't forget to follow us on Twitter and Facebook as well.
Let me know if you have any error, I have tested the layout but we never know. I hope you like it as much as I did.
Site status
This is not Winona related, but I think it will be nice to have it posted since I got a few emails/tweets regarding it. No, the site isn't abandoned. Well, a little maybe, but it's not going anywhere. I'm currently in a very busy agenda, with some family issues re: health, and I barely have time to be online. I'm sorry if I am missing some news and pictures, I promise to try keep it updated as soon I have some free time.
I usually don't post personal notes here, because you all came here to be informed about Winona, but due the amount of emails/messages I got, I believe it's an easy way to keep everyone informed. Thanks once again for your visit, and keep checking, hopefully things will be back to normal soon.
And we have a new layout!
So as you can see, we have a new layout. Since we changed to our previous one I've been receiving some emails asking to change the design colors for something easier to read. I believe we cannot go wrong with black and white, right? 😀
The gallery also has a matching theme. I hope you guys enjoy this one.
Let me know if you find any issues, I still have to check every page.
And we have a new layout!
And here we are, with our first update of 2012. How are you, my dear visitors?
We have a new layout here and in our gallery. Oh, and a new Twitter background, too! It was made by the very talented Flor using one of my favorite Winona shoots.
Please let me know what do you think, and come back later for more gallery updates.
Nigel Goodall Guest Post
Hi Everyone!
I am really thrilled to have been invited to do a guest post for Winona Forever. I had quite a few options what to write about, but most of all, I wanted to share some of the stories that didn't end up in my biography of Winona, first published some 13 years ago.
I guess if I was writing the book today it would be quite different to the original version, and would probably, in parts, paint a completely different portrait of her. When it was being considered for an update by my publisher following the shoplifting saga and trial, the main criteria for the update would have been to re-write some of the inaccuracies that appeared in the original, which have only come to light in the years since publication. For example, her place of birth, which was not in Winona as it happens, but in the nearby city of Omstead County in Minnesota. Another would be to re-discuss her screen test for Lucas, which she actually did with River Phoenix – and also to include first-time details about her influences not mentioned in the book, such as Ruth Gordon and silent movie star Louise Brooks, and to talk about River's Edge, the film she was meant to audition for in 1986, but due to a sex scene, her parents wouldn't allow her to do it. I would certainly have set out to offer some insight into what really happened inside Saks Fifth Avenue in December 2001, and also to offer a definitive explanation into the infamous fallout with Gwyneth Paltrow.
I do hope you will be fascinated by what follows! Thank you so much to Winona Forever for allowing me to share some memories of what still remains my favourite book out of all the ones I have written over the last 20 years.
Huge thanks to you all, Nigel.
From Chapter 3: The Road To Hollywood
About Winona's nightmare of moving to Petaluma…
Even the horror of stealing a comic book turned into an equal nightmare. She was immediately put under citizen's arrest, handcuffed, and hurled into the back of a police car. 'Then the police brought me home, and my parents tried to beat them up.' To journalist Hilary Johnson it sounded 'like the perfect childhood,' especially when it turns out 'that your parents beat up the cops when you get arrested for shoplifting!'
About Winona being asked to leave school after being beaten-up…
Even so the incident was enough to persuade Winona that she wasn't going back there. All she could do was fall on her knees in front of her mother and plea, 'Mom, I'm not going back another day.' Outraged by the attack, Michael and Cindy agreed. But they were equally outraged by the school itself. It seemed rather than discipline the bullies for their violent aggression, the school chose to implicate Winona in their stead. Even more strange, as far as Winona was concerned, was the fact that 'I'm this twelve year old, and Petaluma Kenilworth Junior High School, tells me to leave because I was a distraction. I'm sorry that gay bashing was such a distraction for them. I didn't want to go back anyway. I was too scared.'
Kenilworth itself however could not uncover any record of the incident, or indeed of Winona being asked to leave. That's not to suggest that it didn't occur, or that Winona's recollection of events isn't accurate. Far from it. What is questionable however is whether the principal at the time had simply overlooked recording the details. Whatever the reasons, today the school is disheartened to discover that Winona's time at Kenilworth was so traumatic, and more importantly, that no explanation can be offered for the absence of school records relating to the attack on her. During an investigation into the story Winona had told Life magazine for a December 1994 feature, Dr Kim Jamieson, the deputy superintendent for the Petaluma School District, could find no evidence, nor could he persuade Michael and Cindy to talk about it. He did however corroborate that any such abusive behaviour of students today would simply be targeted as unacceptable by Kenilworth or for that matter, any other junior high in California.
From Chapter 4: Hot Actress
About making her first movie…
Winona admits to finding her new world of cinema confusing and distracting, probably made worse by having to contend with her first period while making the movie. It was so symbolic, she recalls now. 'I just remember feeling really horrible and – not to get graphic or anything – you don't know really what's happening but you do feel this is a really weird moment. I just remember saying this line – "Did you have a good summer, Lucas?†or something – and in the middle of saying it, feeling something inside me. And I just kind of knew it. Even then I was like, I can't believe this is happening to me. It was just a drag. It's not anything I ever wanted to get. My memory of the shoot was an impression of haste,' she laughs. That said, 'I learned very fast.' It was, after all, she continues 'a great first experience,' even if it did have similar parallels to high school, 'you know, kids gossiping, kind of immature.'
And watching it for the first time….
But the first time Winona watched the film, 'I was just really scared to see my face that big. It was such a shock that people had just seen me act.' In the end though, she went to see it another two times. Once in San Francisco when it opened there at the Galaxy Theater in April 1986, and once in Santa Rosa, where Winona recalls 'a lady sitting in front of me said to the guy she was with that I looked sad on the screen. I guess she meant the part about being hopelessly in love. I wanted to ask her what she meant, but instead I started really looking at myself on the screen but it's hard to be objective about your own performance.'
About Beetlejuice…
Critical reaction, too, was delightful for both the film as a comedy classic, and the emergence of a new, fully-formed star. The New York Times critic Caryn James described Winona's character as 'the most intelligent comic portrayal' in the movie, while another New York Times writer, Janet Maslin, thought that Winona's Lydia drifting in and out throughout the movie was 'much creepier than the ghosts themselves.' An observation shared by Glen Shadix who played Otho, one of the Deetzes arty friends from New York. 'It was no secret that Winona was at the beginning of a major career,' he today recalls. 'She was the most possessed and charming 15-year-old I'd ever met. This kid had projects in development and could come up with a movie idea and pitch it from beginning to end in the time it took to eat a tossed salad during lunch in the commissary. And she didn't have a "slick child actor†bone in her body.'
From Chapter 5: Que Sera, Sera
About Winona's ill health during the filming of Great Balls of Fire…
'It was awful,' shudders Winona. 'I couldn't sleep or eat or anything. I was on these penicillin-type drugs. Finally they brought a doctor in to give me a shot, and even he was freaked out. He thought the whole film depended on me surviving. he had this horse needle and he was so nervous that he kept missing the veins on my arms. So finally he just jerked it out of my arm and without even telling me, gave me a shot in the butt!' It was, she said, 'my only vivid memory of London.'
About the real Myra Lewis praising Winona's performance in the film…
Myra, too, was full of praise for Winona's performance. The two met when Myra was invited to attend one of the screenings of the dailies. It was where Winona, dressed in a Brady Boys T-shirt and jeans, would normally sit behind Jim McBride with her hands on his shoulders, and Dennis Quaid would slip into the chair behind her, to ease her onto his lap. Even attending journalists were quick to point out the closeness. 'Whether she can't keep her hands off the guys or they can't keep theirs off her, she and her director and her co-star remain in pretty constant physical contact whenever they're in the same room.'
But the day she watched Myra watching her, she was understandably nervous. 'We were showing her some stuff where he was picking her up from school and says "I'm gonna marry you.†I looked over and she was crying, and I was so scared because I didn't know what she was crying about. I didn't know if she was crying because I was a bad actress or that it was so real. And then she turned to me, and hugged me, and said "You're a gift from God.†It was probably the most amazing feeling that I've ever had in connection with acting.' Equally astonishing, noted Premiere magazine, was 'how precisely this young actress, this girl born in 1971, conveys the way thirteen year old girls looked at the boys in the '50s – whisperingly, if you will, with their mouths, but purely.'
From Chapter 8: Adult Roles
About Winona's nude scene cut from Bram Stoker's Dracula…
Winona, however, took pains to ensure that the erotic connection was not so uncontrollable that she would completely abandon herself to passion. In one scene, for example, when Mina tears wildly at her bodice as she writhes in the vampire's embrace, her clothing remains firmly adhered to her body. But for another, seen by your narrator on a workprint video, and cut from the campfire sequence of the final movie, the script demanded she seductively pulls open her corset to induce Van Helsing (Hopkins) into caressing her bare breast and kissing her nipple. But with her face far-off camera, the moment is never more than insinuated it is Winona.
Besides 'I won't do nudity' she repeated. It was even written in her contract to prove it. But if she was breaking her own cardinal rule to appear semi-nude, she had her reasons. 'When you go through the whole process of becoming a vampire, you try to get everything off you. You become very animalistic, and an animal wouldn't want to be in a corset. That's why I was pulling on my clothing. There was a lot of footage, which they didn't use, where I wasn't doing that. It looks now as if that was all I was doing, when there were maybe two moments that I did.'
Obviously, continues Winona, 'exposing yourself, just in general, is difficult. But when you're working with people like Francis and Michael Ballhaus (the cinematographer) and our incredible camera crew, it's a lot easier than working with real strangers. Everybody was protective; there was no gawking. It wasn't an atmosphere where you felt unsafe. It was very respectful.'
Although Nigel's biography of Winona has been unavailable for some years, it is now available again as an eBook from Amazon UK and Amazon US and is soon to be made available as a Print On Demand (POD) version for those who would prefer a print book to a digital version!

I've had the honor and privilege of working directly with Carson and experienced the skill and high level of standard that he engages when executing an event. He pays attention to every detail, anticipating needs, communicating on a consistent basis, providing updates as needed, and ensuring needs were met. Additionally, his skills go beyond what I have experienced, and I am looking forward to working with Carson in the future. Truly an amazing and outstanding professional, leader and visionary.

I was blessed to have been involved with Festival For Change! that Carson Tang produced. What a phenomenal event! The inspiration given and received was amazing...plus the logistical and organizational skills to pull it off by Carson Tang was phenomenal.
Stephanie Giroux, President, Global Change Management & Organizational Alignment
I want to recognize Carson's involvement in the holistic empowerment of people through experiential events, helping along the way; the business, professional, personal and spiritual aspects of their lives. I've traveled from Montreal-Canada to New York to attend his events each year since 2008 and have invited more than a dozen people. Carson makes a difference in our lives by unifying high quality like minded people and while providing us unique programs, moments & locations where we can literally breathe and experience new concepts. Thank you Carson for your great involvement in the evolution of consciousness. I can't wait to attend your next experiential event!
Larry Goodman, President, Goodman Motors
I meet Carson several years ago. A month later I received an e-mail that he was hosting a 2-3 hour boat trip around lower Manhattan. First of all this was not a boat but a ship that held several hundred. The price for the day was what a dinner for two in NYC would cost. Food was served as part of the cost and it was quite a day. I knew then that Carson produced quality results. Last summer i attended his Empowerment retreat located about an hours drive north of New York City...I plan on being there again this spring and i would suggest that you do the same. Connection and value...
Our July 4th weekend getaway is Acadia National Park (Bar Harbor), Maine!

1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a safety release device for a kite, and in particular to a safety release device for releasably fastening together first and second portions of a kite line.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A user controls the power and direction of a kite by manipulating a control bar connected to the kite lines. In one configuration the control bar is arranged to slide long a center control line having a harness loop for attaching the kite to a harness hook worn by a user.
It is possible to loose control of the kite and be over powered. This can be particularly dangerous during launching when the user is on or near land, solid objects, spectators, and other kites. For this reason it is known to provide a safety release device in the central control line. If the user looses control of the kite or the kite becomes over powered the user lets go of the control bar and it is pulled along the center control line by the kite until it hits the release device. The release device which operates to break the center control line portions de-powering the kite.
However, when performing certain maneuvers the user must remove his or her hands from the control bar. A problem exists because this would result in the safety release device operating to de-power the kite.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a safety release device for a kite that overcomes or ameliorates the above problem. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a safety release device for fastening together first and second portions of a kite line that can be disabled by the user during riding.
According to the invention there is provided a safety release device for releasably fastening together first and second portions of a kite line, the safety release device comprising a first fastening member having a first end and a second end, the first end having a first attachment point for attachment of a first line portion extending away from the release device in a first direction and the second end having an aperture, a second fastening member having a tongue and a second attachment point for attachment of a second line portion extending away from the release device in an opposite direction, the release device having a fastened position in which the second fastening member engages through the aperture of the first fastening member and the tongue extends in the opposite direction, a release member movably positioned on the first fastening member and movable between a secured position for securing the tongue to hold the release device in the fastened position and a released position releasing the tongue such that tension on a line attached to the release device pulls the second fastening member out of engagement through the aperture, and a releasable locking member provided on or with the release member for locking the release member in the secured position so as to prevent it being moved to the released position.
Preferably, the locking member comprises a rotational body having a recess into which the first fastening member is receivable and rotatable between a first position in which the recess and the first fastening member are aligned and a second position in which the recess and the first fastening member are misaligned.
Preferably, the first fastening member is receivable in the recess when the first fastening member moves between the secured position and released position.
Preferably, the release member is manually movable to the released position while the locking member is in the locked position
Further aspects of the invention will become apparent from the following drawings and description.
Embodiments of the invention will now be described by way of example only and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
In the drawings there is depicted a safety release device for releasably fastening together the first and second portions 3, 4 of the center kite line. The device comprises a first fastening member 11, a second fastening member 12, a release member 13 movably positioned on the first fastening member 11 and a releasable locking member 14.
The first fastening member 11 comprises a rectangular slider having a first curved end bar 15, a straight second end bar 16 and two parallel side bars 17, 18 that define an aperture for receiving the second fastening member 12. Two triangular shaped tabs 19, 20 extend laterally from the two parallel side bars 17, 18 respectively. The first line portion 3 is attached to the second end bar 16 and extends in a first direction towards the harness loop 5.
The second fastening member comprises a tongue 21 bent at its proximate end to form a shoulder 22 with an attachment eyelet 23. The second line portion 4 is attached to the eyelet 23 and extends in an opposite direction towards the kite (not shown).
The release member 12 comprises a release knob 24 having two longitudinally extending bars 25, 26 supporting a securing ring 27. The release knob 24 has an elongate aperture 28 having a shape complementary to the first fastening member 11. The release member 12 is slidably located on first fastening member 11 with release knob 24 sliding along parallel side bars 17, 18. The triangular shaped tabs 19, 20 prevent the release member 12 from sliding off the front of first fastening member 11.
The locking member 14 comprises a generally cylindrical body 10 having a passage 29 extending through its centerline. An elongate recess 30, coaxial with the passage 29, extends from a first face 32 of the locking member 14 almost entirely through its depth. The recess 30 is a complementary shape to the first fastening member 11 so that it can be slidably received in the recess 30. A second shallow recess 31 is provided coaxial with passage 29 and at right angles to first recess 30. Second recess 31 is shallow so as to only receive the second end bar 16 of first release member 11.
In a fastened position, shown in
The locking member 14 is movably attached to release knob 24 by elastic shock cords 33, 34. First line portion 3 passes through passage 29. As shown in
The knob 24 of release fitting 12 is wider than the body 10 of locking member 14. This allows the user to push the release knob 24 independently of the locking member 14. The release knob 24 can be manually moved forward by the user, stretching shock cords 33, 34, while the locking device 14 is in the locked position to de-power the kite.
In the unlock position the locking member 14 is rotationally aligned so that first fastening member 11 is slidably received within first deep recess 30. In this position the release device is ready so that a control bar striking the safety release device will cause the locking member 14 and release member 12 to slide together along first fastening member 11 moving ring 27 away from tongue 21. The pull of the kite on a second line portion 4 pulls the second fastening member 12 out of engagement through the aperture causing the safety release device to operate.
A barrel shaped piece of foam 35 is used as a spring to hold the release member 12 in the fastened position. Nylon webbing 36 is sewn onto the second line portion 4 as a stop for the foam barrel 35. The barrel 35 fits between the webbing 36 and the ring 27. The foam barrel 35 is compressed when the release member 12 is moved along first release fitting 11.
The release device overcomes the problem with known release systems because the rider can turn locking member 14 to a ready position during launch or other situations when it might be dangerous if the kite becomes overpowered. When the rider wants to perform maneuvers which required him or her to remove their hands from the control bar 1 they can set the locking member 14 to the disabled position to prevent operation of the safety release device when the control bar strikes it.

Thank you so much in advance.

Xin Tian Di: "Xin Tian Di" Top 5 Page for this destination Shanghai Nightlife Tip by imstress
Shanghai Nightlife: 135 reviews and 150 photos
Xin Tian Di will be your closest match to what Lan Kwai Fong is to Hong Kong. Indeed, this ambitious area was build by Hong Kong's Shui On Group and contains stylish and expensive shops, pubs and restaurants.
Prices for food generally start at RMB 200 but if you head into the 'mall' complex at Xin Tian Di south, you will find a McDonalds and a few medium-end restaurants where you can save your wallet from certain destruction.
Xin Tian Di Plaza is divided into the North and South Blocks. In the South Block, modern architecture is the motif while Shikumen is an accompaniment. In the north, preserved Shikumen set a nostalgic tone, forming a splendid contrast with the modernity to the south. A shopping, entertainment and leisure complex of 25,000 square meters in the South Block opened in mid 2002.

Bigfoot's Killer Tech on ASUS ROG Motherboard
ASUS is adding Bigfoot's gaming network tech to the upcoming ROG Rampage III Black Edition motherboard.
Friday during CES 2011, Bigfoot Networks said that its Killer E2100 gaming network tech has been embedded on a combined LAN/audio card called ThunderBolt. This combo card will be included on the upcoming ROG Rampage III Black Edition motherboard from ASUS.
"Our Killer E2100 embedded networking platform delivers a formidable combination of performance, intelligence and control for online gamers," said Bigfoot Networks CEO Michael Howse. "We are pleased to support ASUS and the Republic of Gamers (ROG) to offer a winning solution for the latest, most demanding generation of online PC games."
Bigfoot's Killer E2100 platform is based on the company's Killer 2100 gaming network card which uses a dedicated network processing unit. The tech also features Bigfoot's Game Networking DNA software that can classify and accelerates online game traffic. Needless to say, Bigfoot's Killer tech should help defeat the hungry lag monster during the ultimate frag-fest or a massive boss raid online.
Friday Bigfoot added that the ASUS ROG Rampage III Black Edition motherboard was designed around feedback received from the PC gaming community. "Powered by Bigfoot Networks' new Killer E2100 networking platform and a host of other gaming-centric features, the ROG Rampage III Black Edition motherboard combines innovative design and technical intelligence to make the PC gaming experience more rewarding and accessible," the company said.
Pricing and availability of the new ASUS motherboard will be provided in early 2011. For now, ASUS is previewing the motherboard at CES 2011 from 9:30am-6:00pm January 6 - 8, 2011 at The Venetian, San Polo Ballroom, booth 3501A. Go have a peek if you're nearby.

0Silmarunya , 8 January 2011 18:26The odd thing is that even with a regular network card, I hardly ever experience lag (assuming I'm not using my WiFi). Why you'd need this thingy in a time of EURODOCSIS, fiber optic cable and other high speed data transmission is beyond me.

A former bail bondsman from New Bern is behind bars after deputies say he kidnapped and extorted money from a Pitt County man.
Deputies have charged Terrence Holloway with second degree kidnapping, extortion and attempt to obtain property by false pretense.
Investigators say back in November Holloway transported the victim from Pitt County to another county, then two days later he returned the man and placed him in the Pitt County Detention Center. Deputies say this all happened when Holloway's bail bondman license had been suspended for approximately a year.
The victim told deputies that Holloway was demanding more money than the original bond or he would be placed in jail. They say that's why Holloway was charged with extortion and kidnapping.
The 55 year old Holloway was jailed on a $210,000 bond.

It seems that overlapping generation model has far more realistic assumptions than ordinary Ramsey-Prescott RBC model for use in macroeconomics. Why is Ramsey-Prescott ones, even New Keynesian variants, are more popular than overlapping generation ones? Is this just due to simplicity, or is there any fundamental problem with the consequences of overlapping generation model?
Complexity issues are always a factor in choosing model frameworks.
In addition, my feeling is that historically the impressive possibility brought to light by the OG models was that an economy could be "dynamically inefficient" (=being characterized by over-accumulation of capital). After some empirical studies provided evidence that the main western economies did not appear to over-accumulate capital, there was perhaps an impression that the model, while structurally more realistic, had not "that much to offer" to compensate for its added complexity...
Not so, according to Philipe Weil, who celebrated the model's first 50 years of existence in the paper Weil, Philippe. 2008. "Overlapping Generations: The First Jubilee." Journal of Economic Perspectives, 22(4): 115-34. (freely downloadable).
The paper is an enjoyable non-technical read, full of compacted information, knowledge and insights. A quote (bold my emphasis):
This is the rallying cry -in his paper Weil details many aspects and issues raised by the model, and the insights that it can provide.
One technical straightforward definition could be that dynamics in discrete time (except continuous time overlapping generations model) are often more difficult to deal with.

This is a recipe that was shared in one of my Weight Watchers meetings. If giving nutrition information, on the point system, one cup is only 2 points with peanuts, and only 1 point without nuts.
I've taken this dish to many potlucks and everyone has asked for the recipe. It's gotten to the point that I take printed copies of it with me to these parties.
This is an excellent recipe. I made it for a work party and everyone loved it and I had so many requests for the recipe!!
This is the best Apple recipe I have tasted in a real long time. It is so different and so many people have requested it.

With a post title like that, the pic should have been a reference to the War of 1812.
Ah, yes. The war the country of Canada had nothing to do with.
Just like everything before 1776 has nothing to do with the US.
The War of 1812, or as a friend once described it "The war where we tried to keep Canadians from burning down Chicago."
If anything, Canada is getting DPed by America (Maine and Alaska).

text: 000 FXUS63 KBIS 240542 AFDBIS Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Bismarck ND 1242 AM CDT TUE MAY 24 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 1234 AM CDT Tue May 24 2016 Increased PoPS to likely across south central North Dakota per observed radar trends through 0515 UTC. Overall, convection has shown a slight increase in coverage and intensity in the last hour in the vicinity of a weak surface boundary from the Upper James River Valley into far south central North Dakota, aided by the interaction of two impulses evident on water vapor imagery. MU CAPE of around 500 j/Kg is expected to remain in place across the aforementioned areas through the night with effective deep layer shear around 25 kts. Thus, storms are expected to remain below severe limits. UPDATE Issued at 926 PM CDT Mon May 23 2016 The focus of this update was on refining the chance of showers and weak thunderstorms through the rest of the night, which is mainly focused from Bismarck and Fort Yates east to Jamestown. Convection this evening was most concentrated both 1) along a weak surface wind shift/pressure trough that extended from near Linton to just north of Jamestown, and 2) just ahead of a weak shortwave trough that`s approaching Bismarck as of 0215 UTC. Going forward, expect the chance of showers and weak storm activity to be focused along and ahead of the weak shortwave. Most rapid-refresh guidance has been a bit too slow with eastward propagation of the convection tied to that wave, but the ESRL-run experimental HRRR from 23 UTC (the most recent run available) does appear to be doing a decent job capturing current trends, so we chose to weight the forecast toward its simulation. Nonetheless, changes with this update were relatively minor in nature. UPDATE Issued at 643 PM CDT Mon May 23 2016 We expanded a low-end chance of showers and isolated thunderstorms to the remainder of central ND with this update (and maintained the mention in western ND) through mid-evening. As of 2330 UTC, steep low- and mid-level lapse rates have allowed weak convection to form as far east as the Rolla and Jamestown areas. The activity is likely being aided by a weak shortwave trough entering southwest ND per water vapor imagery. Model guidance, including recent RAP and HRRR simulations, have been keying on a bit more well-defined batch of convection ahead of that impulse, but those models could be a bit too slow with its passage based on radar trends. Finally, note that the dry boundary layer characterized by temperature- dewpoint spreads of 40-50 F is contributing to gusty winds with some of the showers and weak storms, and will continue to do so until the boundary layer begins to decouple with the approach of sunset. UPDATE Issued at 420 PM CDT Mon May 23 2016 A quick update to add in an isolated rain shower central ND with the shallow cumulus field and weak returns on radar. These should begin to diminish this evening except in the southwest and south central, where the next shortwave mentioned in the previous discussion will maintain development through the evening and overnight hours. Updates to the text products being sent out now. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday) Issued at 240 PM CDT Mon May 23 2016 Overall theme will be multiple shortwaves rotating around a nearly stationary closed upper low in southern Saskatchewan, resulting in periodic showers and thunderstorms. The best probability will be Wednesday as the upper low melds into an open wave as it merges with another stronger shortwave rotating in from eastern South Dakota. A moist southwest flow remains in tact through the long term period keeping an unsettled weather pattern for western and central North Dakota. Tonight through Tuesday, a weak shortwave in eastern Montana will shift toward the ND/MT border near Williston this evening. Current regional radar shows isolated showers in eastern Montana with weak surface based convective available potential energy or CAPE. Expect isolated to scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms with this feature into western ND late this afternoon into early evening. No severe weather anticipated with cape of 200-400 j/kg along with low to mid level lapse rates between 7.5 and 8.5 c/km and 0-6km shear around 15kt. Another shortwave seen in northern Wyoming will shift into northern South Dakota this evening, and then into the James River Valley later tonight. A surface reflection with low pressure in northern SD will move east along the border. Model data shows an area of showers and perhaps an isolated thunderstorm developing in southwest ND early this evening then moving into south central ND between 10pm Monday and 2am Tuesday before reaching the James River Valley by 12z Tuesday. On Tuesday, once the aforementioned shortwave exits the James River Valley during the morning, expect only a slight chance of afternoon showers or thunderstorms associated with cyclonic flow and daytime heating. Areal coverage will remain limited. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday) Issued at 240 PM CDT Mon May 23 2016 The next shortwave trough mentioned in the short term period rotating up from eastern South Dakota Tuesday night through Wednesday will dumbbell and meld with the Saskatchewan upper low. This will result in likely showers and thunderstorms during the day Wednesday, then decreasing a bit Thursday. For Friday through Monday, periodic shortwaves embedded within a continued southwest flow will produce showers and thunderstorms through the long term period. Timing of each wave difficult to discern at this time. High temperatures will mostly be in the 70s. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night) Issued at 1234 AM CDT Tue May 24 2016 Thunderstorms are expected to impact KJMS through 08 UTC tonight. Variable wind gusts of 25-30kts are possible with MVFR conditions in thunderstorms. Otherwise, VFR conditions are forecast for the 06 UTC TAF cycle across western and central North Dakota. && .BIS Watches/Warnings/Advisories... NONE. && $$ UPDATE...AYD SHORT TERM...KS LONG TERM...KS AVIATION...AYD

From Conflict to Crisis: 1959-1974
ON THE OCCASION of his retirement from the board of governors in 1953, Arthur Moxon, the last surviving member of the original faculty, complained that too many people were trying to interfere with the work of the board of governors. Moxon died in 1963. Whether or not he knew it by then, "interference" or intervention was beginning to grow far beyond the limited input of the faculty and occasional public questioning that he did not appreciate.
In the fifteen years between 1959 and 1974 a number of governmental interventions and faculty, student, and administration disagreements produced a series of conflicts that led to an extraordinarily important crisis in the history of the University of Saskatchewan. There were three crucial periods during the decade and a half. The first was from late October 1966 to late September 1968, the second was during the first half of 1971, the third ran from January 1973 to the end of June 1974. In October 1966, the federal government decided to give the provinces control over the funds it had been giving to the universities. At the same time, the University of Saskatchewan administration which had been struggling to develop a method of governing a two-campus university began to relax, both because it thought reorganization was over and because it was basically unaware of the pressure for independence building on the Regina campus. Then the government of Ross Thatcher, which now had control

Three road projects that have been on the city's to-do list for years are inching closer to construction, the Vancouver City Council heard Monday during a workshop, but it will be a few years before residents see results.
A stretch of Northeast 18th Street, from Four Seasons Lane to 136th Avenue, and a portion of Southeast First Street, from 164th Avenue to 192nd Avenue, are scheduled to be widened so they meet urban arterial standards, said Brian Carlson, the city's public works director.
Those standards include two travel lanes in each direction, plus sidewalks and bicycle lanes.
A third project involves an upgrade to Mill Plain Boulevard, between Northeast 104th Avenue and Chkalov Drive, with a goal of improving traffic flow to the onramp to Interstate 205.
It includes removing a traffic signal at 105th Avenue, Carlson said.
The city has received two grants totaling $4.2 million for design, right-of-way acquisition and construction for the Mill Plain project, with an additional $395,000 in local money.
Construction on the Mill Plain project could begin in 2015, while the work on Northeast 18th Street is slated to start in 2016. The First Street project will start the final design process in November and the environmental process will be finished next year. Once those two phases are done the city will start to apply for grants for the First Street project.
Work in segments
An environmental assessment and traffic study have been done for the 51/2-mile-long Northeast 18th Street corridor, and work will be done in segments.
The segment from Four Seasons Lane to 136th Avenue has an estimated cost of $11 million, Chris Malone, a senior engineer, told the council.
A tentative financing package includes $6 million in federal and state grants, $1.12 million from developer contributions (money paid by developers in lieu of doing mitigation), $1.6 million in transportation impact fees and $2.28 million in local funds. The project will require the city to buy right of way from Joe Beaudoin of Joe's Place Farms and compensate him for some loss of farmland, and negotiate with Bonneville Power Administration, which has a 300-foot-wide transmission line easement on the south side of 18th Street.
Malone said appraisals will be finished by December. He said if the city can buy the required land by April 2015, construction could start the following year.
The 18th Street project, which has been put on hold both because of the city's shortage of money for transportation improvements and the recession, was redesigned to lessen the impact on Beaudoin's farm, Carlson said.
Both the 18th Street and the First Street projects represent worthwhile efforts to improve east-west arterials in the city, said Mayor Tim Leavitt.
The city has received two federal grants totaling $1.6 million for design and limited right-of-way acquisitions for First Street, with $670,000 in local money. The city could start buying property for the street expansion next year.

So this year has been good so far. Ive done two 5Ks (one on my own, the other pacing with/by my 10 year old son) and I just finished a century on Sunday.
Looking ahead I have nothing scheduled, in terms of events, until September, when Im doing the Warrior Dash.
Im kind of at a loss for what to do now.
I started riding seriously in January 2010 and lost around 30 pounds, putting my weight at 270. I carry it well really, and I dont look as heavy as I am. But Ive been at this plateau for at least 6 months now. Sometimes I feel like Im sort of an imposter Clyde, because while Im a big guy, Im probably in some of the best shape of my life.
Later last year I started running to augment my cycling in the hopes that it would kick start my metabolism and Id start shedding more pounds again. Id love to be in the 220 range by the end of fall. But it hasnt.
Thats likely due in part to knowing my body, and knowing how much I can eat and get away with without gaining any weight, as long as Im riding/running.
But Im at a crossroads I feel like.
It pains me to say I enjoy running not as much as cycling, but I enjoy it. I like the compact timeframe a run can be done in compared to a similar workout on the bike. Ive done a 5K, and would love to target a 10K at some point, and maybe even beyond (a half marathon or a marathon).
But Id also like to take my cycling to the next level too, though Im not sure what that means. I can do endurance (the century) but would love to really get fit and learn to ride better, faster, longer (maybe racing?). Maybe I need to ratchet up my training a little doing some speed work, hills (though theyre hard to come by here in Illinois), intervals.
I dont know any thoughts? Anyone in a similar situation? Anyone feel like a Clyde imposter?


text: In my computer I was using EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti graphic card and recently I have changed my graphic card and with EVGA GeForce GTX 680 after installing this graphic card in my computer it has started giving me annoying problem. I have Asus motherboard, 4 GB RAM, AMD phenom II processor. Earlier whenever I play GTA 4 game at that time I was getting good frame rate around 75 but with my new graphic card am getting frame rates around 30-35 which is very irritating. I have removed graphic card from my system and connected it with different PCI-e slot and then when I tried to play the game at that time I get same problem. I have opened GTA 4 game and then changed the graphic settings of the game and after doing that when I start paying GTA 4 at that time I get same problem. I have also tried playing different game in my computer but result was same. I have removed graphic card drivers with the help of driver cleaner from and then I have restarted my computer. now after doing that I have installed graphic card drivers again and then when I start playing game at that time I get same problem. Now please let me know how to fix this problem?

Well, during my first playthrough of this game (I LOVED it by the way), I found a game breaking bug. When you get the guards key and go down into the sewers and the girl lets you in (sorry, i forgot her name
), if you die while wondering in those sewers, you can never be let through again, because she doesn't come to get you. You probably need to fix that bug, but other than that, the game looks EPIC :D

For 21 years we've been showcasing the very best in short form moving image work from around the Buckeye State at Ohio Shorts. It's one of our favorite events of the year and the opportunity to share in the celebration with Ohio-based film and video artists is always a wonderful, inspiring time. And each year we're reminded anew of the sheer amount of talent and vision located right in our own backyard.
This year's showcase was no exception.
Our jury and sold-out audience no doubt had a tough choice, but here are their picks for both the Youth and Adult Divisions:
Twin Falls, Nathan Hippenmeyer (Audience Choice Award)
Arwinn, Cole Dehlendorf, Parker Hao, Sidney Kolouche and Eli Crognale (Youth Division Juror's Choice)
Good White People, Jarrod Welling-Cann and Erick Stoll (Adult Division Juror's Choice)

The weekends are a great time for people to de-stress from the week and enjoy themselves. That is precisely Kelly's goal when it comes to viewers watching the weekend morning edition of Today in St. Louis along with her co-hort, Chester Lampkin. People often stop Kelly and ask her if she just lives at the station on the weekends. She actually wouldn't mind if there was an especially built suite for her, but no, she does get a break from anchoring all the shows on Saturday, followed by Today in St. Louis on Sunday morning.
Kelly, an Emmy nominated journalist, started at KSDK in 1998, and has a love affair with St. Louis and St. Louisans. She did take a short break from her adopted hometown and moved to California to anchor mornings at one of KSDK's sister stations in Sacramento, but St. Louis kept calling her name. When she's not working the weekends, you'll find her advocating for pets during the week. She loves hanging out with friends, volunteering, traveling and discovering all the fabulosity of St. Louis with her pooch, LaRue.
If you have a story idea, or have a creative guest idea for the weekend show, give her a shout out.

If you are ardent, you are passionate about something. A pop star's ardent admirers might go so crazy at his concert that they faint from excitement.
Ardent is most often used to modify words like supporter, fan, advocate, admirer, and defender — but also opponent. Although you can either ardently support or oppose something, support is by far the more common use. The word literally means "burning" or "glowing" — it's from Latin ardere, "to burn." In poetic use, the word is sometimes used to mean "glowing," as Alexander Pope did in his 1718 translation of Homer's Iliad: "From rank to rank she darts her ardent eyes."
Definitions of ardent
adj characterized by intense emotion
"ardent love"
"an ardent lover"
having or expressing strong emotions
adj characterized by strong enthusiasm
"ardent revolutionaries"
- Synonyms:
- warm
having or showing great excitement and interest
