I'll be having some pretty hefty expenses coming up in the next few months and I'm looking to cut back. One of my biggest problems is eating out waaaaaayyyyyy too often.
What are some good recipes which are easy and not heavily involved that could keep me budget friendly? I have a variety of beans but never really know what to do with them besides heat them up and make a soup out of them. Quiche is easy and lasts as does rice, but I can get tired of that.
You know what's weird is I think I've forgotten how to cook!!! I used to do stuff, but not anymore. :(

Re: Veggie on a Budget05/14Various bean and rice combos with lots of spices, in your rice cooker, push the button an walk away : ). You can lean toward Morrocan, Spanish, Indian, whatever. It's all in the spicesyou choose. Really keeps beans and rice from getting dull, and they are both way cheap and good for you.
BTW, I have a huge rice cooker...does about 16 cups, cooked. That's dinner, plus three more dinners to freeze. Frozen bean and rice combos re-heat very quickly, so it's almost like having pre-made frozen dinners on hand, without the extra chemicals and salt that you find in packaged foods.
I agree with Grrr... I have a large rice cooker, and freeze leftovers. Also, I have a slow cooker for various kinds of lentils, dried split peas, and whole cereal grains (like wheat berries or barley). No standing over a hot stove! I often add a variety of veggies and herbs and spices as I cook. Leftovers freeze well. I am especially fond of Asian cooking, and Mediterranean cooking.
You can also pack and freeze soups, sauces, cooked pastas that you cook in batches to reheat or microwave later to eat.
That'll save you money, time and nothing goes to waste.
Right now I seem to really be into bulgar & couscous with olive oil, chopped up cucumbers, tomatoes, celery, spinach, nuts & seeds and being lazy I use a dried herb mix I buy with leek, onions, shallots, parsley, garlic.
Good ideas.
At the moment I do not have a rice cooker, slow cooker nor do I have a microwave. I do have a 1970's era toaster oven though. :)
I figure I'll get a microwave when I move. I had a rice cooker years ago but it didn't cook my rice well. I cook brown rice mostly.
You asked for suggestions. You've received a few that are pretty solid.
Make the investment, stop making excuses and do what you came here to do. Namely, get on with saving $ - even if it means having to spend some.
My plan is to get a microwave once I've moved. Not much room here at home but at least I have access to one at work.
The rice cooker thing though...is there a way to make them not screw up brown rice?
Re: Veggie on a Budget05/16the only time brown rice would go wrong in a rice cooker for me, was when I did not use enough water. You need more water in it then white rice.
Re: Veggie on a Budget05/20Most rice cookers are fuzzy logic, now, and compensate for whatever you put into them. I can cook and kind of grain, steam veggies, you name it. They're way better now than the first one hat I had 15 years ago.
Re: Veggie on a Budget10/28So I know this feed was started months ago, but food advice is handy any time of year.
I like to substitute cous cous and quinoa for rice to change it up. Heating garlic up in some olive oil before throwing a can of beans in will make them super tasty. I like to add a few slices of avocado, some fried plantains and chopped kale to make it a meal. Put it in a bowl or on tortillas and vary the veggies to make it interesting.
Re: Veggie on a Budget10/28>"Heating garlic up in some olive oil before throwing a can of beans in will make them super tasty. "
Heating garlic up in some olive oil before doing ANYTHING makes it super tasty.
For instance, dinner this evening was curry tempeh soup.
Dirt cheap. So filling and... if you really want to go all gourmet on someone add a can of coconut milk to the mix.
Here's the basic recipe:
1 1/2 pounds small waxy potatoes no bigger than a small lime, halved
2 teaspoons fine-grain sea salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and chopped
1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 cup canned diced tomatoes
3/4 cup water or vegetable broth
splash of cream or half and half.
8 ounces tempeh, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
Bring a few inches of water to boil in a large pot. Place the potatoes in a steamer (see head notes), sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the salt and cook until tender throughout - about 20 - 30 minutes, depending on how large your potato pieces are.
In the meantime, in a large skillet, melt the butter in the olive oil, add the onion and cook over LOW heat until they are soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cumin seeds, curry powder, turmeric, and cayenne pepper, wait about thirty seconds, then stir in the tomatoes, water, and the other teaspoon of salt. Remove from heat, stir in the cream and blend with a hand blender - (or leave it unpureed if you like!). Note: you might need to transfer it to a bowl to puree, then return it to the skillet.
Once the curry is back in the pan, add the tempeh and bring barely to a simmer. Let the tempeh cook for 5 minutes or so, then add the potatoes when they are finished steaming. Transfer to a large family-style bowl, and sprinkle with cilantro before serving.
Serves 4 - 6.
Re: Veggie on a Budget11/02Easy recipe someone on FB shared for burgers.
3 ingredient Veggie Burgers
3 cups hot beans
2 cups uncooked rolled oats
1 envelope onion soup mix, check label to be sure it's vegan
mix everything together thoroughly
let mixture cool
form into patties and cook over medium heat in castiron skillet for five minutes per side
Re: Veggie on a Budget11/02@Erika: Do you mean "chili" or "mexican" style "hot beans", or do you mean "heated-up" "hot beans"? Also, does it matter if it's quick-cooking or regular rolled oats? I like this quick easy recipe, but I would also try it with the Knorr-Suiss brand of dehydrated vegetable soup.
Re: Veggie on a Budget11/09I haven't tried the recipe but my first thought is that you'd most likely want to go with rolled oats and NOT quick and easy.
I imagine the rolled oats would hold up better and end up being less...mushy.
Re: Veggie on a Budget11/14Heated up is what I meant.
Re: Veggie on a Budget03/08Buy frozen fruits and veggies, especially for smoothies, since they're so much cheaper usually.

Bay County - MDPV is the active ingredient in so-called "bath salts." When ingested, the psychoactive drug's effects can be 10 to15 times more potent than meth and cocaine.
The drug is currently legal to sell and possess in the state of Florida.
Louisiana is the only state to ban bath salts.
"The reality is the chemicals that are used to make these dangerous substances have no legitimate use other than to provide a high for their users. Make no mistake these are dangerous drugs, very dangerous drugs. We must get them off our streets," said Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal.
But there is now talk of a potential ban.
"Although it is legal, it seems as deadly as some of the harder drugs that are facing our young people. So at this point, yes I would say I would support it," said District 7 Representative Marti Coley when asked about a potential ban in Florida.
"We need to give our law enforcement officers the opportunity to arrest these idiots," said District 5 Representative Brad Drake.
"This stuff is going to be bad for the area. It's going to be bad for public safety. But as we delve into it, if it requires some type of legislative action I'll be happy to look into it," said District 6 Representative Jimmy Patronis.
On Thursday, Bay County Sheriff Frank McKeithen hand-delivered cease and desist letters, requesting area businesses immediately remove the product from their shelves.
"One of the things I'd like to do is at least put some kind of injunction on the sale and distribution of it until there are some medical studies done on it to actually see what's causing the medical issues with it," McKeithen said.
The problem is timing. Spring Break is rapidly approaching.
"A gun by itself is harmless, but a gun in the wrong hands could kill you. It's the same thing as these products," McKeithen said.
Since the Legislature doesn't meet until March, it would take an executive order from the governor's office.
Patronis said he's working with McKeithen on a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi that may provide an immediate emergency solution.

Silicone in Again?
Apparently silicone breast implants are making a comeback, despite the health risks. It seems appearance is the driving reason why. Ladies, please weigh in on this one. Carey Goldberg of The Boston Globe reports:
"American women now have a choice," said Dr. Foad Nahai , president-elect of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. "Right now, in our practice, it's about 50-50" between saline and silicone, the Atlanta surgeon said. "But when I talk to my European colleagues, it's 90 percent gels."
The FDA banned most silicone implants from the United States in 1992 amid concern that the majority of implants eventually rupture, and leaking silicone could pose serious health dangers ranging from cancer to auto-immune diseases. (The implants were not banned in Europe.) Many implants also caused pain and damage to the breast. Dow Corning, an implant manufacturer, faced so many lawsuits that it went bankrupt and in 1998 offered more than $3 billion to settle them.

Nasty Grandpa Site Facts
Nasty Grandpa Review
Nasty Grandpa is a pretty straightforward old n young hardcore site but it has its twists. For starters its all amateur content, filmed by Torbe of Torbe Networks for the most part. The girls are all from Europe, and many are from Spain. The one thing I saw popping up over and over again in these scenes was group action. One or two hot girls in their twenties will often service multiple old guys, one hand cupping their balls, the other rubbing their hair beer bellies and their thick cocks down their throats. Most of the guys were in their 40s but there was one horny guy that definitely a grandpa, easily in his 60s. A few scenes starred older women instead of older men, which for me was stepping a but outside the scope of what the site promised.
So far Nasty Grandpa has 47 videos online for you to check out. These average about 25 minutes from start to finish and have some sort of loose plot, but the scenes I saw were in French and not subtitled. A few just kicked right off with the girls tits already out an din the other guy's mouth. You can stream the movies instantly online in a small Flash player that looks good. You can download them in QuickTime, Windows Media, MPEG and MP4 formats. Out of the four options, the Windows Media and QuickTime files looked best, offering a good quality playback. The other options looked pretty good too, though. All downloads were for the full-length movie, though the MPEG also comes in a series of 4 or 5 clips.
Picture sets were available for 5 of the sets. These were regular-res images of okay quality but were nothing great. To view them you have to download them in a zip file that is provided. I actually think they might have been screencaps given their poor quality and small resolutions. In any case, they really weren't much to look at. The movies are where it's at.
As mentioned, Nasty Grandpa is part of the Torbe Network. As such you get full access to all of the network. You actually start at the network homepage when you log in. All of the sites share the same members area and are easy to browse and download from. There wasn't much old n young in the mix but lots of other hardcore niches are explored. Some of the sites included were: Torbe Girls, Torbe in Argentina, Torbe in Russia, Torbe Couples, Brunette Fever, Freak Bukkake, Street Bribes and Only Euro Porn to name just a few.
Nasty Grandpa is a small site but the hardcore old n young scenes were exciting enough to join for, especially with the entire Torbe Network rolled into the deal for free. The site is still figuring out updates so until they do I wouldn't join for more than 30-days at a time and make a decision when it comes time to cancel or renew your subscription.

MONTREAL -- It's not easy to be considered an iconic hockey figure in Montreal, but Saku Koivu comes pretty close despite lacking most of the mandatory criteria.
There are 24 Stanley Cup banners that hang from the rafters of Bell Centre, and Koivu was not associated with a single one of them. There are 62 players who once donned the CH in Montreal who are honored members of the Hockey Hall of Fame, and Koivu probably won't be joining that group either.
In his 792 games with the Canadiens over 14 years in Montreal, a record-tying 10 of them as team captain, Koivu had 641 points, ranking him 10th on the all-time franchise list.
But when he takes the ice Thursday with his Anaheim Ducks to face the Canadiens for his second career game as a visitor at Bell Centre, Koivu will, in all likelihood, be received as a hero.
His relationship with the city is special and unprecedented, in a way, for a franchise so accustomed to excellence that went through perhaps its worst period in history while Koivu was captain.
But the people of Montreal watched as Koivu dazzled fans with his offensive talents early in his career, only to be derailed time and again by injuries. They watched as he always saved his best hockey for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, with 48 points in 54 postseason games with the Canadiens. They watched as he overcame a battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma to come back and not only play, but lead the Canadiens to a first-round upset of the Boston Bruins in the 2002 playoffs. They watched as he created a foundation that raised the funds necessary to purchase a PET scan at Montreal General Hospital, and which continues its philanthropic efforts in the city four years after Koivu's departure.
Canadiens coach Michel Therrien said Wednesday that being behind the bench for Koivu's return from cancer April 9, 2002 and witnessing the eight-minute standing ovation he received is one of the greatest moments of his coaching career. Koivu himself says he has only seen the video from that game two or three times, but it is now part of the montage that plays at Bell Centre during the singing of the Canadian national anthem, so Koivu will see it again prior to the game.
Because of all those different factors, the relationship between Koivu and Montreal stands alone, and it will be recognized for perhaps the last time Thursday.
"When I arrived [Wednesday] there were a lot of people at the hotel, a lot of people I've never met before, and they are thanking you for all the years," Koivu said Thursday morning. "It's a really good feeling. It's overwhelming. A lot of that goes with what happened with the cancer and giving back to the community with the foundation.
"I've always felt there was a special bond between me and Montreal and the people here. It's really, really unique. When I first got here I never expected that something like this could happen, but I'm proud of that."
Koivu will turn 39 on Nov. 23, but he's not ready to say definitively that this game will be his final one in Montreal. Coach Bruce Boudreau has turned Koivu into his top checking-line center, a new role for a player who once was one of the game's most gifted offensive players, but whose numbers were limited by a rash of injuries throughout the prime of his career.
If he looks next to him in the Ducks' dressing room, Koivu will see proof that he could continue to play long enough to have a few more visits to Montreal in his career. But he said not to expect him to follow the path of his Finnish countryman Teemu Selanne.
"I won't be playing until I'm 43," Koivu said. "That I can guarantee you."
Koivu's transformation into a checker is somewhat reflected in his numbers; he has two goals and one assist in nine games this season. However, Boudreau said not to judge his play this season based on that alone.
"He's been playing very well for us," Boudreau said. "He's out there killing penalties and that checking line has done a great job against everyone they've been playing against."
Koivu's first game as a visitor in Montreal, Jan. 22, 2011, was a big event, one he admits he had trouble dealing with. The emotions from the reception he received threw off his focus on the game and Koivu wound up taking three minor penalties, including one that allowed Montreal's Max Pacioretty to tie the game with 13 seconds left in regulation before the Ducks won in a shootout.
Koivu hopes things will be a little more normal this time around and he'll be able to fly under the radar a little bit.
"For myself, I hope it's going to be a little easier to get in the game and keep my focus on the game," Koivu said. "I'm hoping to have a great reaction from the fans; they've been behind me from Day 1. … Hopefully the game ends the way it did last time, when we got two points. That would make it that much sweeter for me."
But if Canadiens fans decide not to take a chance and give Koivu his farewell ovation Thursday, will it throw him it off his game?
"Well," he said, "it did last time."
If Canadiens fans needed another excuse to give Koivu an ovation, that may have clinched it.

she's got a ticket to rideMany women love being on top as they feel they maintain greater control of both their orgasms and their men. And many men have no qualms about letting their ladies express themselves with their body language. So let's get it on, or rather, get it in.
The next time she thinks it's about time that she gives you a piece of her pie, encourage her to hold onto your ankles, while she sits on your member, and let her sway her hips back and forth. And if you like, you can hold onto her ankles as well. It's like they say, an ankle for an ankle .
The Best Part: The dual control
Her Sensation: "This feels amazing."
Another great position to frolic in while she's on top is getting her to sit on your member as mentioned above, but facing the other way. That's right, you get to watch that heart-shaped butt maneuver its way up, down and around your preferred limb. [See image on right]
The Best Part: The view coupled with the sensation
Her Sensation: "Oh, yeah, that's the spot."
can you spare a spoon?You have surely gotten yourself in that intimate position in which you spoon yourself behind her, penetrate her slowly, and both your bodies move in that synchronized motion. What makes this position so great is that it allows for deep penetration. Want to go a little deeper?
That's what I thought. So what you can do is take your hand off of your favorite area (her breast, bobo), and use it to lift her leg and keep it over your hip. If you like, you can then use your hand to tease her clitoris gently while you continue your rhythm.
The Best Part: Her reaction
Her Sensation: "I'm going to come."
And if you're ready to graduate to the Spoon of Fame, then what you can do is get on your knees while she remains on her side, hold onto her shapely hips, and feel yourself going in and out at your leisure. Spread her cheeks apart somewhat for a better look at what's going in and what's to come. [See image on right]
The Best Part: The depth
Her Sensation: "I see colors."
let it all outAlthough many positions have been talked about or practiced ad nauseam, sometimes all it takes is a hand movement or leg position that can serve to alter the entire sensation involved in the arrangement of your bodies.
Don't limit yourself to the basics. Break out and don't be afraid to try new things, but steer clear of anything that might throw your back out indefinitely; this is lovemaking after all, not a marathon (at least for most).

For the third year in a row, organizers have brought hunters, anglers, and shooters to Albany, N.Y. to stress the importance of the outdoor vote in New York state.
Coming off the heels of New York state legislators trying to enact a firearms microstamping law in their budget, the rally was organized by the Assembly Minority's Sportsmen's Caucus, which included speeches from Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president and CEO of the NRA.
"Our Second Amendment is the core principle that defines our nation. There is no greater freedom than to own a firearm to protect ourselves, our families, our communities and our nation," said LaPierre. "Thus, Second Amendment freedom is, truly, the heart and soul of America. And, it is all at stake this year. This is a fight for our values and for the freedom we believe in. It's all or nothing and gun owners, everywhere, from Albany to Seattle, and from Anchorage to Miami are signing on. The fight is on and the NRA is ALL IN!"
The day included everyday hunters, anglers, and shooters meeting with legislators, talking about a variety of issues including increasing hunting rights for crossbow hunters.
Our sports contribute $1.8 billion to the economy of New York, and hopefully this day serves as an important reminder that our issues are of paramount importance not only in New York, but in all of the United States.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has had a hard time regaining his status as an action movie star as "The Last Stand" and "Escape Plan" both disappointed at the box office, but that looks to change with "Sabotage," the latest film from writer/director David Ayer who is best known for his realistic action films "End of Watch" and "Harsh Times," and for writing the screenplay to "Training Day." While we have come to expect Schwarzenegger to play the hero or "The Terminator," "Sabotage" has him playing a different kind of role than any he has played before.
In the movie Schwarzenegger plays John "Breacher" Wharton, the commander of an elite squad of DEA operatives, and at the start we see them infiltrating drug cartel safe house to steal $10 million dollars for themselves. But when they try to recover this money, they find that someone has gotten to it before them, and they soon find themselves being killed off one by one. From there it's a race to figure out who the assassin is before they all end up dead.
I was in attendance at the "Sabotage" press conference where Schwarzenegger was the biggest guest of the day, and he talked at length about how different his role of John "Breacher" Wharton is from the ones he is most famous for. John Wharton is a morally grey character in that he fights crime, but at the same time he could easily be a criminal as he has been investigated by his superiors for illegal activities. This is easily the most complex character that Schwarzenegger has ever played in his career.
"I think that from an acting point of view it was the most challenging because I've never played a character like this," Schwarzenegger said. "My characters that I usually play are black and white. I'm the good guy that wipes out the bad guys, and then there's a little bit of humor throughout the movie and that's it. But this script and the character were written quite differently, and I think that's what was appealing to me. And of course I knew of David Ayer's writing and his directing, and I thought it would really be great for me to be challenged like that."
Now for those familiar with the making of Ayer's "End of Watch," you know that Ayer put Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena through some seriously rigorous training so that they could get into the mindset of being LAPD officers. With "Sabotage," he put Schwarzenegger and his co-stars through SWAT training which was intense and designed to have them get into the mindset of their characters in a similar way. Schwarzenegger described the kind of training he endured before the cameras started rolling.
"When we got together, David had a whole list of things that he wanted me to do," Schwarzenegger said. "I loved that he pushed me because sometimes directors get intimidated when they meet someone like me and they say that I'm looking forward to working with you and let's just figure out how we are going to get ready for the movie and those kinds of things. But David came in and was very clear with the set of things that needed to be done like the weapons training and I said, 'Why do I need weapons training? I've shot more guns than anyone in movie history and I've killed more people than anyone, so I mean why do we have to go through weapons training?' And then he said we have to go down to the SWAT team and we have to figure this out. But the thing was that all of this built the character and made me perform the way I did."
"It was the rehearsals that we did and the talking about the character, learning how they think because that was one of things David wanted me to do; to hang out with those guys, learn how they think, why they are the kind of guys that they are that are willing to risk their own lives to save others," Schwarzenegger continued. "What kind of a mentality does this take and the conflicts in the training and the dedication and all of those things? It's a very complex world."
"I come from a world of reps," Schwarzenegger said in reference to his bodybuilding days. "The more reps you do, the better you get so I believed in what he (Ayer) said. The more you go down there and do this training with the SWAT team, the better you will be on the set and that's exactly what happened. What we have learned was that they don't hold the gun the same way as many in the military or when you just play an action hero, and the authenticity of this was really important. How did you hold the gun? How do you shoot? How do you aim? Do you have your head down or do you bring the gun up to your eye? They are all the time making adjustments. This is what made the movie look good because of those kinds of suggestions."
Of course, we all know that Schwarzenegger took a number of years off from acting when he was elected the Governor of California. When he got back into movies, he was not blind to the fact that a lot of things have changed. This had us wondering how he dealt with those changes and how he sees filmmaking today.
"Today it's not like in the 80's and 90's where a studio throws $100 million dollars to get a great action movie. That was the old days, now we have half of the money and you have to be very frugal and you have to really rehearse and be prepared, so to have all this stuff be second nature I think is very important," Schwarzenegger said.
"I think that the style of shooting is different, the kind of directors that are out there is much more the younger crowd that is being hired, and there are new visions and new ideas and all that," Schwarzenegger continued. "Movies are made a lot of times by committee and go through the studio route. There's a bunch of young guys now making decisions whereas in the old days there was one guy sitting there making the decisions, so there's a lot of changes like that. Budgets are half of what they used to be, the rest of the money is being used for the franchise movies and the big sequels and stuff like that, so it's a different world that you have to adjust that."
Now in the past few years the action genre has taken a bit of a hit as the superhero and comic book movies have dominated just about everything else in Hollywood. But for Schwarzenegger, he doesn't see the action genre making a comeback. From his point of view action movies have always done very well, especially those with great stories.
"There's action movies that are multilayered and have really interesting characters, and they always will be popular," Schwarzenegger said. "The key thing is to entertain people, and I think that people are fascinated about this world that we are dealing with in this movie. So we hope that this movie is going to be successful and is going to be seen by a lot of people. But I think that what this movie has to offer, unlike most action movies, is realism. It is so realistic in the way it was researched and that is why we had so many experts on the set. We had a director that was insisting on being as real as possible and he was basically a fanatic about that. It all paid off and I think people will really, really enjoy this film."
Other action stars like Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis have seen their careers go up and down on a regular basis while Jean Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal seem to be forever stuck in straight to video hell. Schwarzenegger, however, still has a strong presence in movies even if his most recent efforts were not well received. Now that he has been in show business for a few decades, we wonder what direction Schwarzenegger would like to see his acting career go from here.
"Well I think I'd like to challenge myself," Schwarzenegger said. "You think about would this movie be appealing in the United States and also all over the world because sometimes you read a script and you say, 'Well I think this will play really well in America, but it's not going to play well overseas.' I don't think I have much interest in that. I like to entertain the world and that was my mission. That was what bodybuilding was all about for me and what acting was all about."
"So it's always about what is the most entertaining project and what is the most challenging project for me, or it could be doing a sequel to 'Twins' called 'Triplets' with Eddie Murphy," Schwarzenegger continued. "That's the same type of story, but to me it's just a fun project. There is a comedic side just to me that I can play in that role really well. Or we could do a sequel to 'Conan,' 'King Conan' or something like that. 'Maggie' was the last movie I did which is a very little movie where I just play a farmer whose daughter has this zombie virus. It's all about having a good time but challenging yourself and always stretching and entertaining the world."
Now it's no secret that Schwarzenegger is not the young action star he used to be. When movie stars reach the age of 40, everyone expects that they won't have many of the same opportunities they once had. At one point in the press conference, the emcee asked Schwarzenegger if it is great to be over 40. He responded that he thinks it's great to be over 60, and his outlook on aging proved to be quite healthy.
"I don't think about when I go to the gym, 'Oh I'm now older' or something like that. I just think about how I want to get in shape, and it's the same when I do a movie," Schwarzenegger said. "I don't think about what age I'm in. I just do the movie and I do it as well as I can and go all out. I'm very fortunate that I exercise every day so that I start out already in good shape so that when someone like David Ayer comes along and says, 'I want you now to do the martial arts training and I'm going to send over some guys that are cage fighters and then this and then that,' I can also deal with that. To me, I never even think about what is my age."
Schwarzenegger's performance in "Sabotage" is one of the best he has given in his career so far. Many still seem him as not much of an actor even after such memorable turns in "The Terminator" movies and "Total Recall" (the original, not the remake), but he's always been a better film actor than we give him credit for. Here we get to see the action star play one of his most complex roles to date, showing just how much range he really has. Now he looks more than ready to graduate to the next level of being a grizzled action hero.

"The SoC market requires a high degree of application-specific customization, resulting in a constantly changing product mix. Maintaining tight process control on every wafer is critical to profitability," said Kiyoshi Watanabe, corporate vice president, Fujitsu Microelectronics Ltd. "The Applied Performance Service Program paces service and price to actual utilization rates to provide us with committed uptime performance at a low, predictable cost that tracks factory loading."
The uniquely flexible Applied Performance Service program can reduce maintenance costs by an average of 15%, making it a particularly powerful strategy for chipmakers producing SoC and other cost-sensitive logic devices, especially in times of rapidly changing demand. Using proprietary fingerprinting algorithms, the Applied E3 solution further raises cost-efficiency by optimizing and tracking the process performance of every tool in the fab. The E3 system's fault detection and classification (FDC) technology provides rapid feedback on tool, wafer and lot performance to avoid unexpected excursions that impact productivity and cycle time, while run-to-run control (R2R) adjusts processing parameters in real time to enable more consistent output and higher device yields.
"Applied's high-tech service approach is a perfect match for a sophisticated and agile fab such as Fujitsu Microelectronics' Mie plant," said Charlie Pappis, vice president and general manager of Applied Global Services. "By combining variable service with equipment and process automation, customers can reduce costs and take advantage of the unused potential of their existing assets. The growing momentum of our service business in Asia is a testament to Applied's unique ability to provide innovative support solutions."

I woke up this morning with a fever. Something I've dreaded since winter began. I could feel it all over, to my very core. I'm not sure I can handle this right now.
Is it the flu? Pneumonia? Some new virus brought on by the mosquitoes that have already started feeding on me in this balmy March weather?
No, this one is far more dangerous. Especially to our checkbook.
I have shopping fever.
Those of you who don't like to shop may not understand this, or will for sure underestimate the torture of this insidious ailment. The rest of you – you know what I'm talking about.
It feels like every store in the mall is calling me. Nordstrom says "our shoes are on sale". Ann Taylor's teasing me with her "buy any two items, get 20% off" deal. And don't get me started on what the handbag stores are saying. New styles at Vuitton, Coach, Dooney & Bourke – catch me before I faint!
I can hear them pleading with me to visit, just take a look. We haven't seen you in quite some time, they say. See all the new fashions; the "must haves" for spring that are perfect for you. It won't hurt just to look, will it?
NO! I say out loud as I try with all my might to steer my car away from that mall Mecca we in Dallas call NorthPark. MUST-RESIST-TEMPTATION. How will I ever get through this?
I divert my attention to our local Sam's, hoping to satisfy my shopping fever by taking care of the necessities, like groceries. As I bravely march up and down the food aisles, my fever rises again and I veer off to the other side of the store. How about a 55" TV? That would be nice. Surely we could use a 12-pack of reading glasses. No, wait – how about a complete set of wrenches?
What does this have to do with being laid-off, you ask? EVERYTHING.
One of the by-products of losing your job is worry – especially about money. How to pay the mortgage, expenses like the car, kids' college, any debt you might have. We – my husband and I – have been in this state for almost two years. He won the lay-off bingo first; I followed a year later.
Try as we might not to dwell on money, it seeps into almost everything we do. We were used to a very comfortable income with both of us employed, one that allowed us to rarely question the periodic need to shop. New shoes? Sure. Another suit? Why not? Besides, you need it for work.
Since the lay-offs, we question every purchase, even at the grocery store. We debate whether we really need "designer" lettuce or will iceberg do? How about colas? We shouldn't drink those anyway. Deodorant? I really don't think anyone will get close enough to smell us. And what about vegetables? They're pricey; are they really necessary?
I'm only half-kidding. For us, the decision to devise a lay-off financial plan was a no-brainer. We approached this new phase of our lives like we were going into battle. Operation "self-imposed poverty" was our strategy. No cable, no concerts, no shopping for clothes, more eating at home – all in the plan.
Before anyone starts fearing for our well-being, let me assure you we are FINE. More than fine; in fact we count our blessings daily. Thank goodness for our parents, who instilled in us the need to always save, no matter how much you make. Dad, I wish you were here to see that I listened and learned from you. We both have found ways to bring in money, enough that it's like we are living on one of our salaries. And that works.
Do I still have "shopping fever"? You betcha. Yet I know that this too shall pass. My "need" for shoes is really just a "want".
Although watch out, mall. When I get back to work, I'm coming to visit. I may even buy something.

I'd have to make a trip to the basement strongbox for it; but, then again, I'll pass and grab a Miller Lite.
That hat has some interesting opportunites though...
That hurt my eyes!! Think I'll pass on that one, as much as I like my SIGs.
Gotta be Liberace's gun?
That just ain't right. I could see doing that to try to improve the looks of an ugly gun, like maybe a Glock. But I can't see doing that to a good looking real gun like a SIG.
The thing is, you can't buy cool. If I bought that gun and wore real baggy clothes, I know I still wouldn't have what it takes to be truly "cool". So....I'll pass on that one.
I want it! There's enough bling there to keep my wife happy for 5 years! She gets the covering, I keep the gun!
Snoop Dog called and wants his gun back......
Diamonds make for a great non-slip grip and they are so hard...absolutely no holster wear. :yup:
THAT'S just ....well it's...... sad, just sad......:blink:
General Patton said it best when he made an observation on the difference between ivory and pearl grips on a handgun. That pic fits perfectly with what he said about PEARL!

Jeff Beaman was named associate head tennis coach at Washington State University July 21, 2014.
"We are thrilled to welcome Coach Beaman to Washington State University," said Hart. "Jeff brings a vast amount of coaching experience and has been a proven winner throughout his coaching career. In addition to his substantial knowledge of our sport, Jeff is an excellent recruiter and possesses a tremendous work ethic."
Beaman arrived at WSU having spent the past eight seasons as Director of Tennis and both the men's and women's head coach at the University of Idaho. There he accumulated a combined record of 269-158, including a 140-69 (.670) mark leading the women. Both the men's and women's programs reached the NCAA championship in 2014 after capturing Western Athletic Conference tournament championships. It was the first conference championship in the history of the women's program and the first for the men since winning the Big Sky title in 1978.
Also in 2014 Beaman coached the WAC Men's and Women's Player of the Year, along with the Women's Freshman of the Year.
"I am looking forward to working with coach Hart and joining WSU Athletics," said Beaman. "We have had a great working relationship during my time at Idaho and I am also excited to have the chance to work with her great group of young women."
Beaman is a five-time Coach of the Year, earning the recognition from the WAC in 2014 for both the men and women, 2013 for the men, along with the ITA Mountain Region Coach of the Year honors for the men in 2011 and the women in 2014. He was also selected as the 2009-10 University of Idaho Outstanding Employee.
During his tenure the Idaho women reached a program-best 20 victories twice (2009, 2013) and have reached three-straight WAC Championship matches, culminating with the 2014 title. The women achieved a program-best No. 51 national ranking during its 11-match win streak in 2014. He has also coached the Idaho school record holders in both men's and women's career singles wins and men's career doubles victories.
On the men's side the program went 22-8 during the 2010 campaign, the most wins under Beaman, and attained a national ranking of No. 46 during the 2011 season, still the highest in school history.
Prior to Idaho, Beaman served as an assistant men's coach at Texas Christian University for one season. In his time at TCU, he helped the Horned Frogs earn a 2006 Mountain West Conference crown, a trip into the second round of the NCAA Tournament and a No. 31 national ranking. Two of the players from that team also earned All-America honors.
Beaman's first stop as a full-time head coach came at Barton County (Kan.) Community College, where he was the head men's and women's tennis coach from 2000-03. From 2001-03, he guided the men's program to three straight top-five finishes in the final NJCAA rankings. The team was second overall in both 2001 and 2002 and fourth in 2003. His women's team finished the 2003 season ranked third in NJCAA. Overall, he coached six ITA All-Americans, 10 NJCAA All-Americans including the number one singles player in the nation in 2003 at Barton County. In 2003, he was also nominated for the Barton County Community College Difference Award.
After Barton County, Beaman moved on to the College of Santa Fe, where he started as an assistant in 2004 and eventually was named head coach in 2005. In the inaugural year of the program in 2004, he helped lead the Spin to a No. 5 national ranking and a quarterfinal appearance at the NAIA national tournament. The team also featured three All-Americans and the NAIA Player of the Year, Ivan Angulo. In 2005, he led the team to a No. 1 final ranking in NAIA and helped five of his players achieve All-America status. Following the season, he was named Coach of the Year for Region 6.
He is a certified Level I and II Tennis Coach by Tennis Canada.
Beaman graduated summa cum laude from Alabama A&M in 2000 with a bachelor's degree in Physical Education. As a player for the Bulldog tennis team, Beaman was named Tennis Scholar-Athlete of the Year twice, in 1997-98 and 1998-99. At Barton County Community College he was named all-region, all-conference for singles and doubles.
Beaman is a native of Ottawa, Canada. His wife's name is Lori.

The 2014 World Cup was awarded to Brazil many years ago. Even back then, Brazil dreamed of days like July 8, 2014 as a day of celebration throughout the country. It was supposed to be the day the Brazilians got one step away from hoisting their sixth championship in front of their home fans by winning in the semifinals -- but instead, Germany turned it into the most infamous day in Brazilian soccer history, if not all of soccer history.
By the time the 30th minute was over, Germany was up by five goals. Unmercifully, soccer rules dictated that they play another 60 minutes afterwards, including another full half. In the end, Brazil was knocked out by 7-1, although it still felt even more lopsided than that.
When Thomas Muller got his fifth goal of this tournament in the 11th minute, Brazil was put in unfamiliar territory. However, with so much time left and with Brazil's storied reputation, no one thought things would get more out of hand so quickly. But once Miroslav Klose scored his World Cup record 16th career goal in the 23rd minute, Germany opened the floodgates.
Before anyone could catch their breath, Toni Kroos made it a three-goal deficit in the 24th minute. Almost seconds after play resumed, Kroos added one more goal. It took just three minutes after that for Sami Khedira to cap the onslaught. At that point, the only measure of suspense left was on just how many shots ESPN could capture of crying Brazilian fans in the stands, and how many ways the commentators could mock Brazil's lack of defense.
While Germany became slight favorites before the match due to Neymar's injury and Thiago Silva's suspension, the assumption was that it would still need to sweat out a victory. Yet without Silva's defensive leadership and Neymar's offensive sparks, the Germans had an even easier time than they did against Portugal to start the World Cup.
Brazil was always supposed to end this World Cup, of all tournaments, by playing in its final match at Rio de Janeiro on July 13. Instead, it is doomed to the third place match on July 12, while arch-rival Argentina could play for the title against Germany.
But whatever happens in the third place match, it will not hang over Brazil and the soccer world for decades like the semifinal will.

What is the universal format followed when we write a date in a newspaper article (for example: 24th November)? I looked around for some examples and didn't find them to be consistent. Is there any hard format at all or is it to the author's discretion? Is it different for different countries and styles, akin to how spellings vary between British English and American English?
Newspapers are perhaps the iconic manifestation of "house style." Several publications have been in print near-continuously since before we had ample standardization of grammar and formats, and are likely the source of several "American" or "British" standards.
If you're writing for an existing publication, inquire with the submission editor for the specific rules they expect of submissions, or examine their printed issues for reference.
If, instead, you're editing a newspaper and want to form a consistent style, consider purchasing the Associated Press Stylebook, which has quoted prices between $20 and $30 for various resources.
To be more clear, there is no universal style for dates, and such varies both per-country and per-publication.

'''Airdate:''' November 7, 2010
When Chris shows up in blackface to go out Halloween as Bill Cosby, Lois insists he change outfits. When she sees Peter taking several dozen eggs from the refrigerator she finds out that Peter and Joe are teamed up to execute a series of painful and humiliating Halloween pranks on Quagmire.
When Stewie becomes alarmed at the disguises of the trick-or-treaters, Brian shows Stewie the ropes of trick-or-treating. While trick-or-treating, Stewie encounters a gang of teenagers who steal his candy.
As Meg sets out to attend her first high school Halloween party with high hopes for the evening with her friends, Quagmire tells Peter and Joe that his Grandfather was a kamakazi pilot. The guys talk Joe into letting them ride along with him on an evening patrol.
Later, after Stewie locates Brian and takes him to the boys, Brian goes to talk to them and they spray paint him pink. Brian shocks Stewie by advocating violence in order to extract revenge. At the high school Halloween party, Meg gets chosen to play "spin-the-bottle" and gets to make out in a closet with a boy in an Optimus Prime costume. When they are interrupted by the rest of the party guests, they find that the boy making out with Meg is Chris.
When Joe goes off duty, Quagmire shows them a yard full of stored vintage planes, with a Japanese Zero that was able to fly and Quagmire takes the guys for a ride. Locating the boys that stole his candy, Stewie threatens them with a rocket launcher but is knocked off the roof when one of the boys throws a rock at him, launching his first rocket. When they are able to stop him from reloading his weapon, Stewie cries for his mom. Lois takes Stewie to the boy's house where she not only recovers Stewie's candy, but threatens the mother by demanding cash as well.
While flying over Quahog in the Zero, Quagmire appears to go into a trance and starts a kamakazi run on a ship in the harbor, screaming in Japanese and scaring Joe and Peter. Quagmire then stops and reveals that the whole thing was a setup and gloats that he finally pranked Joe and Peter after years of getting pranked by them. Stewie shares his candy with Brian, while Meg and Chris only admit to hooking up with a fellow high school student at the party.
!!"Halloween on Spooner Street" contains examples of ([[YMMV/FamilyGuyS9E4HalloweenOnSpoonerStreet YMMV goes here]]):
* BrickJoke: Quagmire's prank.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Lois getting back Stewie's candy from Justin, the boy who stole it, immediately takes a turn for the dark as after she gets the candy back, she demands the mother give Justin's candy and then $40. When the mother replies she doesn't have $40, Lois says she'll be back for $80 and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking the welcome mat]]. Stewie himself quickly goes from thrilled to scared.
* FurryReminder: Brian confuses his reflection for another dog, and knocks himself out trying to get "him". Then Peter comes along and makes the same mistake.
* HypocriticalHumor: Lois is outraged that Chris wants to go trick or treating in blackface and tells him to put on the Indian headgear she made for him.
* MamaBear: Lois when she discovers that Stewie was robbed of his candy.
* PingPongNaivete: Stewie nearly shoots several kids out of the belief that they're real monsters. When Brian expresses disbelief that he doesn't know about Halloween, Stewie retaliates by calling him out for his belief that his reflection is another dog.
* {{Squick}}: In-Universe: Chris and Meg freak during an unfortunate game of "Seven Minutes in Heaven".
* UnsettlingGenderReveal: One of the pranks pulled on Quagmire is him thinking he had sex with a woman who turns out to be Joe.
* WelcomeToHell: When Brian is painted pink, he gets sympathy from ThePinkPanther.

Mike Sorrentino: Tanning Salon Arrest
Posted by Native NYker in mike sorrentino, the jersey shore, the situation on June 18, 2014
Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino was booked on assault charges after a 911 call over an "altercation" led cops to pay a visit to his "family" run tanning salon, reports state. The Jersey Shore alum was later released back out into the world on a mere $500 bail.
That's the headline. What trails it puts the story in perspective. Read the rest of this entry »
Jonathan Manfre: The Unit is Charged With Fellony K Possession
Posted by Native NYker in controlled substance charge, indictment, jonathan manfre, mike sorrentino, mtv, possessions charge, the jersey shore, the unit on January 8, 2012
DRAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If there is one thing those messy Jersey Shore children can do is party hard! But apparently its not just with bottom shelf liquor. Oh No! Those MF"ers go at it like farm animals. The gang of the famed MTV New Jersey based "reality" gig appear to have themselves a special heavy hitter style user in their midst, reports Radar Online. Jonathan "The Unit" Manfre, who touts himself as one buff -assed tight bodied trainer to cast member Mike Sorrentino – skin tight he is – has now been indicted on his Summer 2011 arrest for possession of a "powdery like substance" outside the house of debauchery.
NJ Police investigators now claim lab results indicate the substance resulted as allegedly being determined to be non-other than the horse tranquilizer club drug Ketamine, or Special K, a class third degree felony. The indictment comes with a possible 3 to 5 year sentence if found guilty.
We wonder, if convicted – not likely as "celebrity" never sees civilian results – if MTV will look to throw Manfre his own spin-off. Perhaps they could even call it Hard Bottom Unit!
Has a catchy ring to it, no?
It would certainly be an appropriate title, all components considered, we think. Cuz you know with a body like that the brothers won't even wait for him to drop the soap. Hell if they wouldn't be clambering for a first crack of that fine piece!
And damn if a scene with him on all fours, back arched, knees shoulder width apart, readied for a downward dog move, wouldn't be the hottest visual EVER! Stretch it out…
Manfre's case is scheduled for a January 10th court date – although the man of the hour is not expected to appear.
We can't help but wonder how an indictment of this severity does not require him to appear before the judge? Or how there isn't a mugshot for the supporting cast member. And this all in a state that gloated over admitting practicing racial profiling.
Doesn't seem kosher.
That's MTV pull for you!

Jonny Manfre: Situational Substance Bust at Jersey Shore
Posted by Native NYker in jersey shore, jonny manfre, mike sorrentino, the situation on August 2, 2011
This is a tad bit old, but we are just getting around to it after giving our tongue time to regain its composure from exhausting itself on the Ryan Kwanten nude pic. That and then gagging over The Huffington Post flacks picking up our original mention of Stackhouse's alleged nude and them mis-crediting the source. Us, you dumb-asses! Ain't that some shit? Well, onward… Jonny Manfre – buds with Jersey Shore's The Situation – was recently busted attempting to enter the famed den of bottom shelf debauchery with some "white powdery substance," reports state.
Now we ain't the type to get all righteous on the matter. For all we know those pretend to be authentic Italian freaks could be carrying talcum powder around with them for hygiene purposes. A stretch? Yeah, we know.
But seriously, is it any shock that this mediocre lot dabbles in some good-ole Colombian gold?
We think not!
How the fuck else they going to get their motivational juices flowing to deliver those great performances? I would think MTV would have a supplier on standby 24/7 just for those potentially award winning moments that can manifest themselves at all hours after the bars close.
Cut the children a break.
More curious is the fact of how Manfre's bust occurred while attempting to enter the Jersey Shore house – the "white powdery substance" was found on his person. What type of tom-foolery is going on there?
Are non-regular members of the show made to undergo a strip search before entering? (Sign us up for volunteer duties ASAP!)
Manfre was placed under arrest on the spot and later released after posting $1k bond. And don't expect anything to result from the arrest – assuredly MTV will make this go away less it tarnishes their lucrative "reality" production. But just imagine this hot piece of ass doing some time…

Mike Sorrentino: Big Screen Hopeful
Posted by Native NYker in mike sorrentino, the situation on February 6, 2011
This is too rich to ignore. Mike Sorrentino, 28, aka The Situation, has dreams that reach beyond the liquor binging, incorrect grammar using, poon-hound prowling ways depicted on the MTV reality show "The Jersey Shore," hoping to cross over from reality TV to the big screen – as in Hollywood – reports Us Magazine.
The juicy part comes when Sorrentino is quoted utilizing a basketball hoop legend analogy to deliver on his aspirations.
"It's like Michael Jordan, there's only so long you can keep winning them rings. There's only so long you can rule the reality world."
There are no words to address this comparison. Not really.
It might be somewhat naive on our part – we are fully aware of such – but shouldn't talent be present for such a cross-over? Not judgeing – simply making an observation… But onward the celebutard goes with his MTV fueled, two left feet dream.
"Hopefully by the end of the year I'll be in a movie," Sorrentino tells E! News.
Wonder if we can fone Fandango and reserve that ticket now…
The Situation: Mike Sorrentino Book Signing
Posted by Native NYker in jersey shore, mike sorrentino, the situation on November 6, 2010
Jersey Shore's Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino has a book out aptly titled "Here's The Situation." Of course that comes with an additional credited writer.
Surprised? I sure hope not…
But needing something to do, I stopped by Borders Bookstore in Herald Square and patiently awaited the tardy reality star to grace us with his presence.
Of course, I also expected for him to show us 1st hand the so called situation. It's only obvious really. And when it wasn't happening on its own, I kindly requested it.
But wouldn't you know it, the talentless wonder woudln't do more than show me the cover of his book!
Surprised? Fucking yeah I am…
How the hell does it get to a point where mediocrity rises above the very thing that gave the illusion of there being something more?
You would think that someone who can't dance, can't act and is basically known for flashing his abs to every Tom, Dick, Mary, Scott and Roger would be walkin around topless or at the very least flash the goods to maintain some level of interest.
Ironically, his t-shirt read "on to the next one." Hmmmm… I wonder who wrote that cuz those are words of wisdom.

Connecticut legislators are not moving as quickly as those in New York, but they are still trying to fast-track proposals pertaining to gun violence, mental health and school safety.
Each of the three subcommittees within the state's Gun Violence and Children's Safety Task Force will hold a public hearing in January. There will also be one combined public hearing for all three subcommittees on Jan. 30 at Newtown High School.
"There will be a lot of temptation for public testimony from many special interests, and if I might ask that we can somehow focus our situation on Connecticut residents and in particular Newtown and Sandy Hook residents and their contributions so that we make sure that the voices there ... are heard, understood and respected above all," said state Rep. Mitch Bolinsky, R-Newtown.
The school safety public hearing will be held on Jan. 25, the gun safety hearing on Jan. 28 and the mental health hearing on Jan. 29.
Several legislators expressed concern about the process and asked whether residents would have time to digest the task force's proposals, to be posted on the task force's website on Tuesday, in time for the hearings. But the expectation for these hearings is that they will serve as a way to gather both reaction to those proposals and ideas for new proposals, said John McKinney, R-Fairfield.
"We don't want to limit the public testimony in anticipation to just that list of bills because we are hopeful that we will learn things from experts or people in the public that may send us in a direction that we aren't thinking about as of right now," McKinney said.
State Sen. Toni Boucher, R-Wilton, co-chairman of the school safety subcommittee, said she and state Rep. Andrew Fleischmann, D-West Hartford, also a co-chairman, plan to invite specific stakeholders to their public hearing, such as teachers' association leaders and school superintendents.
"Everything is feasible," said state Sen. Andrea Stillman, D-Waterford, who is on the school safety subcommittee.
"... This is probably the most important thing other than the budget."
Speaker of the House Brendan Sharkey, D-Hamden, said he expects the public hearings to help determine which issues will garner bipartisan consensus and be passed quickly.
Proposals that cannot be passed quickly will continue through the normal legislative process, he said.
Public hearings
• School safety: 9:30 a.m., Jan. 25, Room 2C, Legislative Office Building in Hartford
• Gun safety: 10 a.m., Jan. 28, Room 2C, Legislative Office Building in Hartford
• Mental health: 10 a.m., Jan. 29, Room 2C, Legislative Office Building in Hartford
• Public hearing for all three subcommittees: 6 p.m. on Jan. 30, Newtown High School

Roberta Willis, D-Lakeville.

The State of Social in the Enterprise
By Kathryn Perry-Oracle on Jan 03, 2013
Before Meg Bear rang in the New Year, she took a few minutes to write this post about the social phenomenon – its impact, its applicability, its users, its power, and its evolution. She does a nice job of gathering up what many of us have observed over the last year and making sense of it all. We think you'll enjoy her relevant insights and predictions.[Read More]

While animal rescue is crucial in today's society, it must also be stressed that you have to do your research when choosing a rescue from which to adopt.
Donna Lee Carswell from Grovetown, Georgia was arrested yesterday after authorities received reports of animal abuse at her supposed rescue, Nick of Time, located in Connecticut. Carswell was running an illegal pet adoption operation.
Upon seeing the dismal conditions of the animals – cats and dogs being transported in cages caked with urine and feces – the Connecticut Department of Agriculture seized the animals from her.
WFSB (Connecticut) reports that the Georgia native was charged with 12 counts of cruelty to animals and failing to have official interstate animal health certificates as well as one count of failure to register as an animal importer, failure to notify the Department of Agriculture of an animal adoption event, operating a pet shop without a license, and failure to have animals examined by a veterinarian prior to adoption.
There is a very important lesson to be learned from this. There will always be wolves in sheep's clothing. Those wanting to do the noble thing by adopting a rescue animal will be preyed upon by the same kind of people who run puppy mills – the ones who care nothing for the animals' welfare, just their own gain.
Do not let this dissuade you from adopting from a rescue; rather, let it propel you to dig in deeper and research more about your local rescues. It is an excellent learning opportunity to discover how proper rescues operate, and all that the volunteers must do to have a successful organization.

Directed by Tim Burton
PG, 87 min.
Released Oct. 5, 2010
Before director Tim Burton struck box-office gold, he toiled away in obscurity as a 22-year-old animator apprentice for Walt Disney Studios.
There at the House of Mouse in the early 1980s, he put together a little black-and-white short about a boy who brings his deceased puppy back to life, a la Dr. Frankenstein.
Burton called it �Frankenweenie.�
The Disney execs were not sold on his quirky, dark-comedy riff on the classic horror movie that had stoked his childhood imagination. It was too scary, they said, too dark and unsettling for kids. Burton�s back-from-the-dead doggie, they said, was no Snow White.
[video id=133863]
Burton didn�t last long at Disney. They sent him packing---and on to much greater things, including �Pee Wee�s Big Adventure,� �Beetlejuice,� �Edward Scissorhands,� �Batman,� �Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,� �Alice in Wonderland� and other hit movies, all signed with his colorfully off-center, darkly comedic, idiosyncratic flourish.
Now, some 25 years later, Disney has welcomed Burton---and �Frankenweenie�---back with open arms. Times may have changed, and Disney may have finally seen the gem they overlooked all those years ago.
But �Frankenweenie� is still the quirky dark comedy Burton originally intended it to be, now stretched to full movie length. This time, it�s done with meticulous stop-motion animation, instead of live action, which allows even more leeway for Burton�s trademark touches of creative weirdness.
Martin Short, Catherine O�Hara, Martin Landau and Winona Ryder are the recognizable �star� names providing voices for the delightfully imaginative black-and-white tale of young Victor (Frankenstein), in this version a misfit, science-obsessed teen growing up in a drab, prefab 1970s suburb.
When Victor�s beloved pooch, Sparky, meets an untimely end, he puts a lesson from his science class to good use, concocting a laboratory from bits and pieces of attic junk to catch a jolt from a lightning bolt and reanimate the sewn-together canine.
Victor tries to keep his successful experiment a secret from his parents, his classmates and his neighbors, but you can imagine how long that lasts�
[video id=133865]
Visual nods abound to horror movies of yesteryear, with Goth-ghoulish characters that resemble iconic scary-cinema icons, scenes that reference various �50s creature features, and a pull-out-the-stops, monster-rama finale.
Woven into the movie�s comedic parody of the familiar Frankenstein-story framework, however, is an extremely touching tale of a boy and his dog, one that makes �Frankenweenie� much more than just a dazzling exercise in pop-culture cleverness. All those years ago, when Burton made the original movie, he was inspired by the loss of his own childhood pet.
And boy, does it ever show. It�s hard for any dog lover to watch �Frankenweenie� without feeling a solid tug---or two---on the heartstrings.
Page 2 of 2 - Victor�s �experiment� freaks out the neighborhood, sparks a raid on the local pet cemetery by his classmates who hope to best him in the school science fair, and incites a riot that follows the �village mob� to the climactic windmill setting of the showdown, appropriately enough, of the original �Frankenstein.�
All because Victor couldn�t imagine life without his dog. This puppy tale has its scars and its stitches, but it�s also vibrantly, electrifyingly alive with sweetness.
But Disney may have been right about one thing: It still may be a bit too dark and unsettling, at least during some parts, for the youngest of kids. Sparky still isn�t Snow White.
And Tim Burton clearly wouldn�t have it any other way.

What is the best way to force HTTP requests to HTTPS requests on IIS 6? For example, I have both a directory and a whole site that I need to force HTTPS on for two different servers. What is the best or preferred method of accomplishing this? This will need to redirect requests that come in on HTTP to HTTPS. I was thinking of something along the lines of mod_rewrite from the Linux world.
Note that I already have a certificate installed and working.


text: If your practice has recently updated patient information or measures to track on the MAQ Dashboard, a re-extraction will be needed to have the latest data appear. The first step to complete the re-extraction is to access the MAQ Dashboard Scorecard View. Once in the Scorecard View, select the MAQ On-Demand Data Request Tool. A new window will open that allows the selection of the Stage, measure type, duration and providers. Set options to match what re-extraction is needed and then select Submit. One re-extraction can be completed in a 24 hour period.

This is the first layer of my EDC gear.
These items are carried on my person 99% of the time during the day, and stay near by my bed at night (with the only exception of the iPod, which I tend to leave at home unless I'm commuting).

This is the continuation of a photo-project that I began in the summer of 2008: a random collection of "interesting" people in a broad stretch of the Upper West Side of Manhattan — between 72nd Street and 104th Street, especially along Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue.
As I indicated when I started this project in 2008, I don't like to intrude on people's privacy, so I normally use a telephoto lens in order to photograph them while they're still 50-100 feet away from me; but that means I have to continue focusing my attention on the people and activities half a block away, rather than on what's right in front of me.
I've also learned that, in many cases, the opportunities for an interesting picture are very fleeting — literally a matter of a couple of seconds, before the person(s) in question move on, turn away, or stop doing whatever was interesting. So I've learned to keep the camera switched on (which contradicts my traditional urge to conserve battery power), and not worry so much about zooming in for a perfectly-framed picture … after all, once the digital image is uploaded to my computer, it's pretty trivial to crop out the parts unrelated to the main subject.
Thus far, I've generally avoided photographing bums, drunks, crazies, and homeless people. There are a few of them around, and they would certainly create some dramatic pictures; but they generally don't want to be photographed, and I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of them. I'm still looking for opportunities to take some "sympathetic" pictures of such people, which might inspire others to reach out and help them. We'll see how it goes …
The only other thing I've noticed, thus far, is that while there are lots of interesting people to photograph, there are far, far, far more people who are not so interesting. They're probably fine people, and they might even be more interesting than the ones I've photographed … but there was just nothing memorable about them.
Whirring fan blades

During her recent and extended visit to Utah, my wife somehow acquired a pocket-size fan, which provided very little in terms of practical value, but plenty of entertainment. The fan is battery-powered, and probably cost no more than .00, if that. (Her birthday came and went during the trip, and I think this was given to her as a gift.) The blades on the fan are equipped with small, multicolored lights, which give an interesting effect when the fan is turned on. I found it fascinating, which prompted Sheila to repeat yet again her frequent remark that "simple minds are easily entertained." (Funny, but I have never heard her say that to or about anyone other than myself.)
The other night I took the fan into our computer room, mounted it on the corner of the table, and took several pictures. Because I held the camera in my hand, it is possible that I moved during exposure, although given the nature of the photo, that is unimportant. No flash was used, and aside from cropping, this picture was not edited in any way prior to posting.
