Reviews for Pineapple Poke Cake
"Why do people continue 2 use sugar free products and think they are better for you???? NOT!!! reduced sugar products contain toxins like aspartame that are way worse than sugar !!!!"
"After reading all the reviews, I made this cake but I used a pineapple cake mix, and I doubled the amount of pineapple and brown sugar. Next time I won't boil off as much of the pineapple juice. It is a very refreshing cake. I would make this again."
"I have made this several times for family gatherings and everyone loves it! My sister-in-law even asked for the recipe. We all thought it was perfect the way it is!"
"Boxed mixes and frozen whipped toppings, including Cool Whip Free (look at the ingredients for partially hydrogenated oils) have TRANS FATS and they are NOT healthy!"
"Wouldn't this be yummy, too, with carrot cake? mmmmmm . . ."

ZF-3683: Performance improvement: reuse token object in lowercase filter
There is a small performance improvement that could be made to the part of the code that creates indexes. In class Zend_Search_Lucene_Analysis_Analyzer_Common_Text in the nextToken() method the following line of code is executed:
$token = $this->normalize(new Zend_Search_Lucene_Analysis_Token($str, $pos, $endpos));
This calls the normalize() method of Zend_Search_Lucene_Analysis_TokenFilter_LowerCase. A Token object is created as part of the call to normalize(), inside normalize() a second Token object is created which is an exact copy of the first apart from the fact that the text is converted to lower case.
This means that two Token objects are created for every token - this has some impact on performance (about 7% on the examples that I've looked at). One very simple fix would be to change normalize() so that it doesn't create a second object but just updates the text in the object that is passed to it. This would also require a change to Token.php to allow the text field to be set. I expect that there are more architecturally pleasing ways to fix.
Re-evaluated to major since Lucene already is very memory hungry 7% is quite a bit, and this can probably be fixed very easily (as reporter suggested).
Here is a patch implementing the issue submitter's suggestion:

The Zend_Search_Lucene test suite still passes after the above modifications are made, however the area of Zend_Search_Lucene in question is not unit tested.
Are there any backwards-compatibility issues with changing this behavior now? Previously, an entirely new token would come out of {{normalize()}}, but with the above modifications the provided token is modified in-place and returned. Are there any situations where this would be inappropriate?

The Highs and Lows of Photographing an Italian Cycling Competition
Manual for Speed (MFS), a website covering professional cycling created by writer/photographer Daniel Wakefield Pasley and photographer Emiliano Granado, is currently featuring daily reports from the Giro d'Italia, a cycling race through Italy that dips into neighboring European countries.
Granado and Pasley created MFS in 2011 with sponsorship from Castelli, a cycling apparel company. Pasley's reporting on the Giro d'Italia has included access to two cycling teams that Castelli sponsors: Garmin-Sharp and Team Colombia, the Colombian national team.
MFS's coverage of the Giro d'Italia is unique not only for the quality of photography—action, landscapes, crowd portraits, and a typology of cycling team buses, among other goodies—but also for its diaristic tone. Pasley's account of the highs and lows of photographing a month-long sporting event is honest and highly entertaining.
If you've ever wondered what it's like to persevere through maddening daily logistical challenges, to "lite-stalk" professional athletes, to be heckled by spectators, to drop one's expensive camera in a puddle, or to see Italian children cursing in English at a race helicopter, the daily reports by Pasley are worth a read.

something new
At times I've had a love/hate relationship with CB2. Some seasons
their designs have been agonizingly boring or cold or too tribal
looking but the past two catalogs have impressed me quite a bit. Here
are a few of the things I liked. I must mention that the L_MP floor
lamp is my favorite but I also appreciate the hairpin
leg bedroom set!
5 comments:
i was JUST looking through their catalog today! major swooning! loving your favorites!ReplyDelete
i feel the same way about cb2. a lot of times, i find it way too boxy, sharp, and hard.ReplyDelete
ITA about the love-hate relationship.... that gorgeous yellow chair is seducing me for sure, though!ReplyDelete
same here, a little cb2 goes along way.ReplyDelete
The felted baskets are beautiful. Natural fibers are so full of warmth for the baby to touch, and would make wonderful baskets for holding toys.ReplyDelete
thank you for your comments!

That was an interesting year. From the election of the first black president, the bombing on the moon, the death of Michael Jackson, it was an interesting one.
One thing I will always be grateful is my advancement in the next stage of life. This time last year I was in a miserable job growing more and more cynical everyday. But I had a plan to get out and chart a new course for my life, and in the very early months of 2009 everything fell into place.
Now looking back I'm happy that I took that leap of faith into the abyss and started my own company. Some would call it crazy to leave a secure job in the middle of a recession to start a business but it was just time. I had enough of taking orders from corporate executives with less knowledge than me. I felt that all of my past life experience have lead me to that moment and this new company.
Now 10 months later the company growth rate is at 200 to 800% every month with new clients and projects. I've been so busy I haven't had time to update my blog, or even the company's content. We've been in the mist of launching the 2.1 version of our new website for quite some time now.
Within the last 2 months along we brung onboard 8 new employees, making the total to 16 now, 2 of them in California. We've now got another team of 14 PHP and ASP developers in Boca Raton that should bring the grand 30 by the end of the month. The client's results have become more dramatic with the additional help. It seems like it was last month that we were working out of our kitchen and living rooms to get this company off the ground. From 2 to 30, it's mind boggling sometimes.
The one thing I love is the name, Karma Snack. Everyone always asks how we can up with it. "We needed a name people could remember… 5 months from now or 5 years from now." I really love the branding aspect of the business, not so much the administration parts but the creativity and idea brainstorming sessions are what I live for. Coming up with different ways to connect a client with their customers and maximizing that ROI.
I can understand now why some people really enjoy what they do. Next year in 2010 I hope to take Karma Snack to a national level of exposure. The plan is to hit 2010 hard with new promotions, campaigns, and take on the brand director role more.
I want to release some of the new technologies we've been working on like Dynamic SEO, and A.I. script that adjusts content and website elements according to the traffic type, keywords brung in, and historical conversion rate of that particular traffic. There is a huge host of PPC projects in the works. We've got a "clone" of Ebay's Trident technology that automatically adjusts bidding strategies on the fly, we've got it down to adjusting bidding strategies within 800 milliseconds, and with the testing campaigns are almost at a 60% conversion rate. That's child's play compared with what some of the super affiliate are doing, but we'll get there.
We also are working on dynamic adjusting PPC landing pages that adjust for conversion depending on the keyword group. Whitepapers of some of the goodies are being written up. I think a lot of this will change the way SEO and PPC is perceived in the future. We've partnered up with some of the top super affiliate and internet marketers in the world to work on several of these projects and it's been a honor to learn from some of the greatest programmers the world has never heard of.
The only one complaint about 2009 was there wasn't enough time. There doesn't seem to be enough time for a lot of the projects we are developing, but then again time is finite. We have to choose what we work on carefully. 2009, it's been fun.

|Lozano nabs WAC honor
DENVER - The Idaho women's tennis team continues to dominate the Western Athletic Conference's Player of the Week award, as sophomore Vicky Lozano became the third Vandal in three weeks to earn the honor Monday.
Lozano beat a pair of regionally ranked opponents and went 3-0 at No. 1 singles on the week, and also went 3-0 at No. 1 doubles with partner Almudena Sanz. She earned straight-sets victories against her opponents from UTEP, New Mexico and New Mexico State, while helping Idaho win the doubles point in all three matches, as the Vandals went 2-1 as a team. Lozano follows senior Molly Knox and Sanz, a sophomore, who won the award the last two weeks. After a strong month in September, Lozano was honored as the WAC Player of the Month.
"This weekend Vicky was at a whole different level than anybody she played," Idaho coach Dan Pollock said. "She played the No. 9 player in the region and the No. 17 player in the region and basically tore them to pieces. Her concentration was way better than I've ever seen it before. I really hope she keeps this up. I think she can get even better if she maintains this intensity and desire that she has for the game right now."
The Vandals opened the weekend with two wins before falling to New Mexico State, snapping the team's four-match win streak. Idaho is 11-5 on the season.
"The team obviously has a good record right now and the record is like that for a reason," Pollock said. "The last few weekends the girls have really worked for each other. They're excited to play every match. There's no complaints, there's no excuses, there's no feeling sorry for themselves. They just get out there and it's been a joy to watch them play over the last few weeks."
Idaho has this weekend off before traveling to Las Vegas to face Houston on March 16 and Kansas on March 18.

Ok i have probably ten maybe thirty authentic cards
i bought a booster pack of ten yesterday from a big chain store(farmers in nz)
it had the fancy and official packaging and i have been reading about telling real from fake btw these are black and white cards
now i know to look for detail in the backround of the back of the card(blue swirl stuff)
i am not sure about the energy symbols (In real cards are they half shaded with the shadow making a cresent on one side or only shaded around the outside to make a border)
i know to look for a bold and crisp blue border on the back with the border being straight and not one with one side being thicker
i know to look for plain yellow not relflective yellow on cards
EX cars have grey/silver but not reflective border not yellow
and the pokemon will always have an accent on the e(dont know how to add one myself) sadly the word pokemon aside from with the copywrite which is normaly with its acent even on fakes is lacking on some cards like the snivy card im looking at.
check the dex entries since not many people know the number of every pokemon
in not sure about the hp thing though since i checked the database on the pokemon website and some cards have the number followed by the letters in caps the same size while others like the snivy card i have from my pack yesterday (Strangely i got a zoura, snivy, tepig and dewott along with panpour and simipour all in the same set is this odd?) and it has hp in caps in a small font before the number which is big
i may not have listed them all but add any to the list you like
i heard holding it against a light to check transperency is one but my fakes arent see through so i dont think that works
anyway try running your finger along the back, if it grips your finger on the cards its fake, real just slide)
lastly i found this myself and its if you hold it against the light flat so you can see the surface the fakes have a rougher and more wrinkled surface while realm ones have a more smooth one (asuming the snivy i have is real)
and i think the format has changed since some cards have the info about stages on the bottom left of the pic, top left and some at the top left of the card itself i think it depends on which set or expansion its from
anyway one last thing is the pokeball on the back has four clearly defined highlights most commonly missing in the fakes is the one on the left at the white half which is supposed to be attached to the button while the red half opens
anyway im wondering mainly about the energy symbols since they are seen in every card
do they have a dark border around the whole outside or is is just half shaded, the snivy card i have here when i look at it closely the energy symbol has one of those jelly bean shaped lighter spots at the top left like a highlight, is that meant to be on real cards? and i heard that the symbols arent meant to reach the edge of the circle yet when i go to the official website and its database its symbol for grass reaches the edge
i did this research becuase i got my first set of ten black and white cards yesterday because im thinking of collecting again.
and a last question the zorua i got has a normal everything but the main colouring of the card (where the info and attacks are) is black and shiny not in any pattern just plain old shiny (like a line of different colour where it reflects the light) and if you look really close it looks like its made of dots is this real? it came from a big chain of stores and a authentic looking pack.

Oh, I'm so sorry that you've been under the weather! Hope you feel better soon.
Tess looks cozy, and I love the dish towel (cheerful red stripes)!
I just finished "The Violets of March," and "meh" is a generous description. It felt oddly disjointed, and the writing was pretty heavy-handed. I was thoroughly unimpressed. I just started "Gentlemen and Players" -- we'll see how it is!

I hope you get back to your spirited self soon, Gigi. You do look lovely in that Tess shawl and your "simple" knitting is truly beautiful.
Oh, I loved reading aloud The Scarlet Pimpernel to the kids years ago. We all loved it. There's a pretty good movie out with the same title. You're such a good granny to keep up with the Littles' homeschool reading.
Get well now, ya hear?

Oh my gosh, I have really been wanting to knit that shawl! It would be perfect if I already had it done, because we are having the chilliest shawl-wearing-weather spring mornings you ever did see, but it's too late now. I will have to keep it in mind for next year! It's lovely on you!

I had to strip for 'creepy men' as a teenage model, says Alexa Chung
Alexa Chung has spoken of the torment she suffers when recalling how she was required to strip in front of 'creepy men' as a teenage model.
The 29-year-old model and presenter, said she was routinely expected to turn up at the houses of strangers and pose semi-naked for modelling assignments in the early days of her career.
She said she never told her parents what had happened because she 'knew it was wrong'.
Speaking to The Times, Miss Chung was asked if she ever asked her parents for advice when she was trying to make her way in the modelling industry.
She said: 'I actually kept modelling very separate. I never really asked my mum or my dad's advice during that time and it actually felt like I didn't want to tell them too much about the reality of what was going on - when I was taking the train to London and being asked to do certain things.
'I already knew it was wrong. So, you know, if there was a casting where some creepy man there had gone on to his flat in Ilford, and , you know, "Take your clothes off..." and if I'd have done it, I won't tell my mum because I know that's wrong.'
Asked if she had ever been invited to go to a flat in Ilford to model, she replied: 'Well, you had lots of castings where they were like, "This is for swimwear", and in hindsight, I look back and think, "Did you really need an 18-year-old girl to strip in your front room?"
She said: 'God, did I have low self-esteem then. It had always been my mantra, at school, that as soon as I worried about putting on weight, I had to stop worrying.
'But, you know, you'd overhear an agent and then they'd call you into a room and tell you to tone up. Which, in retrospect, I probably did need to do, but it's not what you want to hear as a teenager and not loving life.'
However, the star admitted she was 'addicted' to modelling when she first started out in the business.
She said: 'I was addicted, like a gambler. Yes, I could be making a measly £200 one day but tomorrow I might make a commercial for £300,000.'
Miss Chung, who was raised in a small village in the south of England by her mother English mother Gillian and Chinese father Phil, said that her parents are unimpressed with her career as a model.

another kind of insurance you buy when you buy a house or refinance: title insurance.
It's an unusual kind of policy because it protects against something that might
have happened in the past, rather than something that might happen in the future.
defects aren't common, but when they occur, the consequences can be disastrous.
Title insurance
protects the lender or owner from disputes over ownership of property. When you
buy real estate, someone checks land ownership records to find out if the seller
has the right to sell it and collect the full payment.
the seller is divorced and needs the ex-spouse to sign a document allowing the
sale to go through. Or maybe an unpaid electrician put a mechanic's lien on the
property, ensuring payment when the property is sold. The county might have filed
a lien to satisfy unpaid taxes. And, of course, the mortgage lender has a lien
on the property, ensuring that the loan is repaid before the sales proceeds go
to anyone else.
One seller found out to his surprise
that there was a "cloud" (title defect) affecting title to his property.
The title search on his property showed that a deed had been recorded transferring
title from the previous owner to himself. But that deed was signed by only one
of the two owners.
Due to an oversight, the wife's
signature wasn't on the deed. This meant that the wife could still make a claim
to the property. In effect, she was still in title as an owner because she hadn't
transferred her interest in the property.
A good title
Your real estate purchase contract should include a clause
that requires the sellers to provide you with good or marketable title to the
property at closing. If the sellers are unable to do this, you should be able
to withdraw from the contract without penalty.
the example above, the buyer's title insurance company was able to track down
the wife's heirs and get the signatures necessary to remove the cloud on the title.
The defect in the title report was corrected and the sale went through.
Most buyers take out a mortgage when they purchase a home. But
before a lender will issue a mortgage, there will need to be evidence that the
buyers will receive good title to the property. Also, the lender will require
that a title insurance policy be purchased, usually at the buyer's expense, guaranteeing
the lender's interest in the property.
Title insurance is paid
for on a one-time-only basis. It is not transferable from one party to another.
for first-timers A lender's policy of title insurance
won't protect the buyers' interest, but buyers can get title insurance for their
own protection. Even if you're paying all cash for a property, and won't need
a mortgage, it's wise to obtain a title insurance policy to protect yourself.
Title insurance for the buyer can be paid for by either the buyer or seller. Who
pays is often determined by local custom. The cost is based on the purchase price:
the higher the price, the higher the title insurance premium.
the records Before issuing a policy of title insurance,
title examiners search the public records for records that affect the property
in question: such as liens, judgments and easements. An easement grants the right
to use another person's property for a specific purpose.
title search is designed to dig up all of these things and more. Later, if there
is a dispute and a lawsuit over ownership of the property because the title search
was faulty, the title insurer pays legal fees and any settlement amount. When
you pay for title insurance, you're paying for two things: the title search and
the insurance policy that pays the costs of future legal proceedings.
are two kinds of title policies when you buy a house. One covers the lender (you
have to pay) and the other covers you, the buyer. You'll always be required to
get the former, and it's often a good idea to buy the latter.
sure you understand the kind of title insurance you're buying, for there are several
kinds available. If you have a question about anything in your title search, ask
your title insurer or attorney for an explanation before you close.

This women's lab coat from allheart matches your need for comfort and durability with your desire for style. It features a feminine cut, four-button closure and side slits for convenient pant-pocket access. Three pockets for all your gear: two front patch pockets, one left chest pocket.
This is a good shape and style but the material is pretty thin. I had it embroidered and the embroidery pulls a little
Love this item!!
labcoats delivered timely, good quality and great price
These were supposed to be white coats. When placed against another white coat, they have a pink tinge. I am very dissatisfied.
I really like the Block letter embroidery; it stands out and looks crisp and professional. Size appears to run fairly generous. I ordered my usual size, but could have easily gone down one, if not two whole sizes. The arms are really wide. What I liked least about this jacket is that is is VERY THIN, and if you wear any pattern, etc under it, it is very see-through. I don't think it looks as professional as a thicker, crisper jacket. This one is just average for me.
I am really enjoying these labcoats! They wear very well and are durable!
This lab coat is perfect for my use. I actually needed it for a Halloween costume, but if I was in a profession in which I had to wear a lab coat - this would work very well- good quality for the price!
Super price for good quality lab coat.
The lab coats are very nice. They fit well.
This was a Christmas gift for my daughter-in-law and I had her name emboidered on it. It really looked nice and professional. She was pleased.

USA Cycling says they will crack down on Pro Mountain Bikers racing in unsanctioned races
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
From the Denver Post
The long-standing International Cycling Union — or UCI — rule that forbids licensed pros from racing in non-sanctioned races has never really been enforced in mountain biking, allowing hardly flush knobby-tire racers the chance to earn welcome paychecks at races such as Vail's Mountain Games and other local races.
"Those prize purses can be the difference for some people to have the travel funds to get to the next race," said Fort Collins mountain biker Georgia Gould, who won Olympic bronze last summer, a mere month after winning her fourth Mountain Games cross country title.
This fall she got a letter from USA Cycling fining her for racing at the Mountain Games and warning against competing in nonsanctioned races.

Peter Eerden, born 1950 in the Netherlands, emigrated with his parents and siblings to Australia in 1956. His formative years were spent in South Australia though his adult years have seen him, in the main, a resident of Melbourne Victoria. Peter's early forays in writing centered around editorials and short stories for a number of local community organisations. His first book 'Teyde - A Bichon Frise' is a historical and pictorial account of a dog breed that entered Australia from England in 1975 and written as part of his International Dog Judging career. He married Patricia Birk in 2007 and through her encouragement entered a new chapter in his life with a developing interest in wildlife photography. He has travelled extensively and maintains a photoBOOK publishing presence both here and in South Africa.

Canadian DJ Deadmau5 transformed Lollapalooza 2011 into the dance party of the summer. Using the power of music to forge a bond between the DJ and every audience member, and between the audience and the environment, Deadmau5 seemingly harnessed a powerful rainstorm as backdrop to his aural experiments. One reviewer described watching the audience bob in time to the music during Deadmau5's set as "like watching the world's finest puppeteer at work."
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will open its latest featured exhibit, Common Ground: The Music Festival Experience on Friday, April 25, 2014.

Gardening Articles: Care :: Plant Care Techniques
Light Up Your Landscape (page 4 of 4)
by Beth Marie Renaud
Path Lights
Upright lamps that can be staked in the ground are perfect for shedding light on paths and garden beds. Line a pathway with low- or medium-height lamps -- with shaded tops to prevent blinding glare. Options include Rockscape's brass Flora and Walk-About; Nightscaping's solid copper Footliter;
BK Lighting's machined aluminum Camino Star; and Hinkley Lighting's cast aluminum #1544.
Flower Bed Lights
Taller overhanging lamps shed a broader circle of light on a flower bed or border. Consider Rockscape's brass Flora Bell and Nightscaping's copper Deliter.
Tree Strap
BK Lighting's Tree Strap, with BK's machined aluminum Micro Star II fixture, provides trouble-free tree mounting -- for you and your tree. The adjustable strap attaches easily around the tree trunk, with no need for nails or screws that may damage the tree and lead to disease. Loosen the strap as the tree grows.
Down Lights
Directional light fixtures can be mounted in trees or on walls to light a section of your garden. Three fixtures stabilized in the upper canopy of a large tree will cast diffused light much like natural moonlight. A single fixture mounted on a wall, trellis, or eave can provide just the right light to softly highlight a plant, garden sculpture, or patio. Attractive lights include Nightscaping's steel Starliter; Lumiere's Advanced Composite MR16 Accent Fixture and aluminum alloy Industry Standard model with a brass finish; and Rockscape's brass directional.
Up Lights
Nightscaping's cast aluminum Versa-liter points a broad circle of light in one direction -- perfect for lighting a background or creating a silhouette; Lumiere's aluminum alloy Simple Directional Uplight stakes into the ground and points straight up -- great for highlighting a fountain, stone
wall, or garden sculpture; Rockscape's adjustable cast bronze W515 Directional is ideal for uplighting trees or casting shadows against a wall.

Highway Patrol releases names in Friday's rollover accident
Published: Monday, May 20, 2013 at 11:22 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 20, 2013 at 11:22 a.m.
The N.C. Highway Patrol has identified the people who were involved in a two-vehicle collision on Interstate 85 late Friday morning.
The accident was reported at 11:38 a.m. at Exit 94.
A 1998 Chevrolet Blazer, driven by 20-year-old Jamarkus Walston of Charlotte, and a 2006 Pontiac G6, driven by 49-year-old William Buie of Simpsonville, S.C., collided near the Exit 94 off-ramp on Interstate 85 in the southbound lanes, said N.C. Highway Patrol Trooper Jeff Boozer.
After the collision, the Pontiac veered to the left and came to rest in the median. The Chevrolet veered to the right, crossed the off-ramp and overturned several times in the right shoulder.
The SHP identified Walston's two passengers as Gesile Walston, 40, and Mahoganee Walston, 7, both of Charlotte. The Walstons were not listed as patients Monday morning at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem.
The SHP also identified Buie's passenger as 10-month Jalen Buie. They were not injured.
Walston was charged with no operator's license and no insurance.
Pam Kearns, a spokeswoman with the Highway Patrol, said troopers were unable to determine the contributing circumstances to the accident because of conflicting statements given by the drivers.

I know this is a AR15 forum, but I though you guys might know the answer to this one too. I have 4 new Armalite AR10 waffle magazines. They do not fit my Armalite AR10 and I purchased them years ago not knowing this.
I understand that they fit the DPMS AR10 and the Knights Armament AR10. Is this true?

UNCW senior tennis standouts Kosta Blank and Chris Cooprider wrapped up their collegiate careers Thursday with a 7-6 (4), 6-3 loss to Georgia's Hernus Pieters and Ben Wagland in the doubles portion of the NCAA Men's Tennis Championships.
The 30th-ranked Blank and Cooprider became the first duo in UNCW history to compete in the national draw and wound up with a 13-6 record this spring after leading the Seahawks to their fourth NCAA team appearance.
Sharks signings continue
The Wilmington Sharks added five players from South Carolina to their roster this week for the upcoming Coastal Plain League college wood-bat baseball season. Three go to Presbyterian College and two go to Furman.
All three Presbyterian players are pitchers: Beau Dees, Chad White and Bud Jeter.
Jeter went 5-7 with seven complete games, led the Big South in innings pitched (106) and struck out 84 with an ERA of 2.89. Dees also went 5-7 on the season while starting 14 times and throwing 91.1 innings. White has not pitched this season for the Blue Hose.
Infielder Greg Harrison of Furman is batting .403 in 20 games for the Paladins this season and was a 2012 CPL All-Star with Thomasville. His teammate, pitcher Matt Solter, leads Furman in relief appearances (25) and has thrown 35 innings. He is 0-1 with an ERA of 4.89.

The Sundance Film Festival is celebrating 30 years of launching indie film careers—think Wes Anderson, Christopher Nolan and Kevin Smith. For the anniversary, they are giving you the chance to scroll through three decades of Sundance splendor to find facts and stories from past fests.
The film fest's director John Cooper has been there nearly the entire time.
Signing on 25 years ago, he has seen plenty of ups and downs, achievements and straight up fails. But if you ask him, that's ok.
Recently, he sat down for a round-table interview to cover a bunch of topics, including why failure is an essential part of the creative process and what this year's festival is doing about it.
Sundance is promoting failure this year?
"We took Monday (Jan. 20, 2014) and called it Free Fail Day. We split things up and decided all the panels we do that day—let's just make everything about failure . . . The craziest one is the Fail Safe workshops. We're going to create workshops where people are expected to fail."
Workshops include high kicks with the Radio City Rockettes and a chef cookoff with culinary wunderkind Flynn McGarry.
So, why the focus on failure?
"Really, it's just about acknowledging failure as vital. I still think in America, we're a little afraid of failure. We always talk about 'Nike—Just do it' or 'If you try it, you will succeed.' It's never just 'Don't be afraid to fail.' I think all of our filmmakers have to be not afraid to fail."
After 25 years with the fest, how have things changed?
"I think the biggest change I did was look at the categories and say 'Are they representing the films being made?' and I didn't think they were. We felt that for a couple years, so that's why we created the Next section. It seems like those Next films weren't making it into the festival because there was no place . . . and they got lost."
Cooper is also responsible for introducing the Documentary Premieres section. He says the film festival is also holding more big events for certain films, instead of just showing them as they would any other entry. Event films have included Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth (2006) and Rory Kennedy's Ethel (2012).
Please explain the Next section of films.
"We finally decided we don't know what it is. It decides of us. A good question to ask next year is how Next changes each time. This year, there are more, bigger actors in it. Last year, there were all these movies with not one major name. But now, you have Catherine Keener in a really interesting film (War Story), which could have played in Competition, but it was just called out to be in Next. Jenny Slate is a comedian in a film (Obvious Child), and Jason Schwartzman is in one of the films (Listen Up Philip), too. These films are usually just on the edge somehow. They have a very forward thinking way to make a movie, but it's almost like they're experimenting with something."
Do you think any films this year will go on to make big societal changes?
"I think Fed Up is going to make a change. It's all about childhood obesity, and it's very complete. When we look for these films, we look for very complete—here's all of the problem in a real way. That one, it changed our staff. We try not to eat as much sugar as we were in our office . . . Captivated, the story of Pamela Smart, is very comprehensive. In the '90s, a school teacher was dating one of her students and hired these young men to kill her husband, supposedly. To Die For (a film inspired by the case) came out before her trial . . . and it was the first time a [murder] trial was televised. So, it's a look at how us knowing too much about a subject changes a fair trial."
Recently, Manohla Dargis of The New York Times wrote an editorial saying too many films are flooding the theaters, and it isn't good for filmmakers or filmgoers. What's your response?
"She did a survey, actually, of all of us. It actually asked about that in the survey, and when she asked that question I said, 'I don't know, are there too many art galleries?' Don't you think in the end she was basically saying 'There's too many movies, because I have to review them all?' It's like 'Go get another job, or change the policy where you're working.' I don't know how to solve that problem."
What's going on with Native American film at Sundance?
"It's the 20th year of the Native program, and they're changing that program a lot. If Sundance is anything, we're flexible and we try to be responsive. I think what Bird Runningwater, who runs the program, was faced with is the community wasn't growing fast enough to create product . . . So, they're actually going to start producing short films with them. It needs more than just the nurturing part in making a better story; it needs a deeper dive to get the product made."

Top 10 Miami Dolphins: No. 7 Randy Starks
That, you could probably already tell from the headline of this post, changes today.
We're four players into our countdown – really your countdown, given it's comprised of your votes – and we have yet to see an offensive player. How long will the wait last?
While you ponder that, check out No. 7 on our countdown …
Player: Randy Starks
Position: Defensive end
Height/Weight: 6-4/355
Years in NFL/With Dolphins: 7/3
Mob ranking points: 200.5
2010 highlights: Starks started all 16 games for the Dolphins in 2010 – once at nose tackle and 15 times at defensive end. He finished with 30 tackles and three sacks. His sacks came against Detroit (Dec. 26), at Green Bay (Oct. 17) and at Minnesota (Sept. 19). In a victory against Tennessee on Nov. 14 he recovered a fumble that led to a Dolphins touchdown. Starks earned Pro Bowl honors for the first time in his career for his efforts in the 2010 season.
Career highlights: The Tennessee Titans selected Starks out of Maryland in the third round of the 2004 NFL Draft. He started eight games (and played in 14) during his rookie season and then became a regular starter for the Titans in 2005. His best statistical season might have come in 2005, when he amassed 78 tackles and three sacks. Starks after the 2008 season signed a five-year contract with the Dolphins.
So there you have it, folks. What are your thoughts on Starks at No. 7? Too high? Too low? Vote in the poll below and stay tuned for No. 6 on your list.

The program "Journey To The Edge Of Universe" is one of best sources of knowledge and opens up human mind, makes us realize that how beautiful and strange is our universe. Man before 21st century never knew about awesome discipline and equilibrium on which our universe is standing. World Is Great.

Stunning Graphics, Bad Narration
By j2i
from Atlanta, GA
I bought this after first seeing what was apparently the UK version of this video, narrated by Sean Pertwee. His narration was perfect with the right amount of emotional intensity added to is. I decided to order the Blu-ray for myself to find that it is only narrated by Alec Baldwin. His is no where near as good of a narrator as Sean Pertwee, almost pedestrian. Doesn't even sound like he is trying! If you can get your hands on the Sean Pertwee version of this then grab it. If not then you might find the video a little disappointing despite the incredible graphics presentation.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
From National Geographic:Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry you were disappointed with this title. Unfortunately National Geographic did not produce Journey to the Edge of the Universe, but it's not uncommon for US and UK versions of a program to use different narrators. We'll update our online description to clarify that our DVD and Blu-Ray are indeed narrated by Alec Baldwin.

HINT: Using frozen or freezer chilled fruit will help your gelatin to set up more quickly; use the mixer to break up the gelatin and distribute the fruit, if necessary."

In 2004, Omar Abou-Ismail returned home to watch his father die of cancer. The experience profoundly changed him and galvanized his belief that the foods we put in our bodies can either nourish us or harm us.
"I really wanted to find a way to serve," he recalls. "I served my dad when he was sick. He was dying, and I [felt] it was because of this relationship between our diets and cancer."
A geo-physical engineer, Abou-Ismail had been working in Hawaii, helping locate unexploded bombs on on the island Kaho'olawe, which was used by the Navy as a bombing range during WWII. But after his epiphany, even life in paradise paled. He quit his post and stayed in Salt Lake to open Rawtopia, a raw food restaurant in Sugar House.
Even prior to his father's death, Abou-Ismail was a raw foodist who believed food loses important nutrients and minerals when it is cooked, and thus, nothing served at Omar's Rawtopia is heated beyond 105 degrees—the temperature at which the enzymes that hold nutrients are believed to break down.
"Fruits and vegetables grown organically are high in minerals and vitamins," he says. "They are high in water content, they hydrate our cells and cleanse our bodies… The food industry in America gives us this processed food, and I feel like a lot of the public is addicted to it. But look at our grandfathers' time. Every home had a garden, we grew our food, we traded our food. But food companies have completely bastardized our food. They strip away its integrity, and it shows in our overall health."
Eating raw is a committing lifestyle that requires creativity and careful attention to proper nutrition. The effort goes well beyond vegetarianism or veganism, although raw food is, by nature, both. (Some raw foodists will indulge in sashimi or other forms of uncooked meat and fish, but this is not a common practice).
And this follower is certainly committed.
"This is a unique type of food," he says. "It gives us a unique and healthy lifestyle. It's very beautiful to present food this way and to make it fresh every day. I really pride myself on that. It's labor intensive but worth it when I see people smile as they leave here."
Despite his former life as an engineer, Abou-Ismail is no stranger to the restaurant life. His mother is the head chef at Mazza and took up the raw food diet after her husband's death. She's also an adviser and contributor to Abou-Ismail's efforts at Rawtopia, which after seven years, is at the center of Salt Lake's raw food community. It's one part restaurant and two parts informal education center, although Abou-Ismail doesn't consider himself a teacher.
"I'm as much a teacher as I am a student," he says. "I learn a lot from people who come in here and share knowledge with me. I am a networker of knowledge. I receive it, share it and am always learning new things."

Legendary jazz musician and leader of the Euphoria ensemble Chico Hamilton has passed away.
Coming up as a rising jazz drummer alongside other heavyweights such as Charles Mingus in high school, Chico played with Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Nat King Cole, Billie Holiday, Gerry Mulligan and others, cementing himself as a force to be reckoned with early on.
In 1987, he helped found the New School University Jazz & Contemporary Music Program in NYC, a place dear to many of our hearts.
His ensembles helped develop talent like Gabor Szabo and Larry Coryell, amongst many others. Chico is also credited as an influence for many contemporary talents such as Carlos Santana, Joe Claussell, Jose James, Mark de Clive-Lowe and Thievery Corporation.
Honored as a "Living Jazz Legend" by the Kennedy Center and as an NEA Jazz Master, Chico Hamilton was seminal to the jazz community, culture, and history. Material from his October 2013 recordings with his Euphoria ensemble will be released as the The Inquiring Mind in early 2014.
We are grateful to have had Chico as part of our own history here at Giant Step as well – he will be sorely missed.
The ongoing event series, Celebrating the Life & Music of Foreststorn 'Chico' Hamilton will continue on December 15 at Drom in NYC. Come out and pay homage to one of the greats.

Physicians have been using endoscopy and ultrasound separately to obtain images of organs and structures inside the body for many years. Thanks to a new tool previously only available in the metropolitan area at Georgetown University Hospital that combines both technologies, physicians at FMH now have access to a new array of detailed and accurate diagnostic images.
This new imaging tool, called Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS), uses a thin, flexible tube to which a small ultrasound device is attached to examine the lining and walls of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tracts, and nearby organs such as the pancreas, liver and gallbladder.
According to fellowship-trained gastroenterologist Dr. Gordon Liss, EUS can obtain information about the layers of the intestinal wall as well as adjacent areas such as lymph nodes and the blood vessels. When combined with fine needle aspiration, EUS is a minimally invasive, state-of-the-art alternative to exploratory surgery to remove tissue samples from abdominal and other organs.
Endoscopic Ultrasound images provide physicians with information about the size, shape and appearance of lesions, tumors and surrounding lymph nodes that is extremely helpful in the staging of certain cancers," says Dr. Liss, "as well as the overall diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the GI tract and surrounding organs."

La Monnaie ¦ MM Extra ¦ Michel Houellebecq ¦ Intro
Michel Houellebecq
Special event
The evening with Michel Houellebecq planned by La Monnaie two years ago was cancelled at the last minute. The French writer assured us that he would do his best to fulfil his commitment towards his Brussels readers. This October, he will be on stage at La Monnaie for a unique discussion with Flemish author Stefan Hertmans, during which he will speak about his experience as a novelist and poet. Elegant and Baudelairean, adulated by some, detested by others, translated and read throughout the world, Michel Houellebecq (1958) is an insightful analyst of the modern world, both lyrical and disenchanted. Extension du domaine de la lutte, La Carte et le Territoire, his latest book, as well as Les Particules élémentaires and Plateforme: each new work by the author is an international event.

Hey guys...New to the forums here. I am doing a project at the University of Washington involving Lego Mindstorms. I saw an article that mentioned you can program the RCX brick in Java, which is very appealing to me. I have tried to follow the "Your First Brick" guide, but have run into some problems.
- I had to create the environment variables "LEJOS_HOME" and "RCXTTY"
Is this normal? The guide makes it sound like they should already be there.
-Also, when I try to run firmdl.bat to download the firmware to the RCX brick, I get the following error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
However, I did put the classes into the CLASSPATH environment variable, so I don't know why it can't find the class definitions.
Any help would be greatly apprectiated, thanks.

August 13, 2014
MPI researchers and representatives from London and Detroit discuss the policies and strategies used—at national and local levels—to attract immigrants into local economies.
August 2014
This report analyzes the importance of human capital to the development of London's Tech City and sets this discussion in a broader framework linking cities, digital sectors, and highly skilled immigration. Skilled migrants can play critical roles in economic development in high-tech clusters, but policies sometimes make it difficult for firms to make the most of immigration.
August 2014
Immigration alone cannot save Detroit, which has become a byword for urban decline and economic decay. But if carefully managed in the context of a broader economic development strategy, immigration may be a promising tool for boosting Detroit's economic prospects, stemming population decline, and replenishing diminished city resources.
July 2014
Employer-sponsored immigration and subnational visa programs are the two major routes to channel new immigrant arrivals toward particular destinations where their labor is thought to be in high demand. This report assesses regional nomination programs in Australia and Canada, and the efficacy of employer-sponsored immigration in meeting the needs of cities and regions.
July 2014
While cities and regions experience both the positive and negative effects of immigration firsthand, they are typically at arm's length, at best, from the policy reins that enable and shape these movements. Immigration policies are rarely calibrated to regional, let alone local, needs. This Transatlantic Council on Migration Statement examines how policymakers at all levels can work together to get more out of immigration.
May 2014
International migration and development are inextricably linked. This Transatlantic Council on Migration statement distills the Council's discussions on the connection between migration and development, focusing on the most promising areas for international cooperation and offering evidence-based recommendations for improving the development outcomes of migration.
February 2014
This Transatlantic Council on Migration statement assesses the continuum of policies needed to disrupt illegal migration-related activities and addresses the conditions that make them possible. It examines the role of migration "bad actors"—human traffickers and unscrupulous employers, among them—who operate and profit in this environment, and considers how governments can deploy resources to discourage their actions.
February 2014
This report, based on an undercover exposé of Punjabi visa agencies by The Sunday Times, sketches one immigration loophole into Europe: so-called "donkey flights" by which Indian migrants obtain a tourist visa for a Schengen-zone country in order to enter the United Kingdom through the back door. Thousands of visa agencies operate in the Punjab region alone, with varying degrees of legality, some having links to criminal smuggling networks across Europe.
