In the afternoon on January 13, 2014, a Wesley Chapel, Fla., Cobb theater shooting incident transpired over an irked theater patron who lashed out at another theater patron who was texting as both waited to see "Lone Survivor". The couple who were both shot are married; the husband is dead from his wounds and his wife is in the hospital, expected to survive. They have one child.
Now, a 3-year-old daughter is fatherless.
The shooter is now identified as retired Tampa Police captain Curtis Reeves, 71. Reeves is said to have retired in 1993 and, during the course of his police service with the Tampa Police Department, was instrumental in developing its Tactical Response Team (SWAT). Reeves also served as Director of Security at Busch Gardens in Tampa, Fla., a post he held after his police retirement.
Reeves also served on the board of Hernando County Crime Stoppers. Reeves and his spouse reside in Brooksville, Fla., a city in Hernando County, approximately 30 miles north of the theater shooting site.
Reeves's son is currently a Tampa police officer, serving since 2003.
The man who was allegedly killed by Reeves is identified as Chad Oulson, 43; his wife, Nicole Oulson, 33, is hospitalized at a Tampa Bay-area hospital and remains there with non-life-threatening injury.
Nicole Oulson, Pasco County sheriff's deputies believe, instinctively raised her hand to block her husband from being stricken by Reeves' gunfire. To no avail, the bullet passed through her hand and struck her husband in the chest, mortally wounding him.
An off-duty Sumter County deputy, who was in the theater to see the same movie, was able to restrain Reeves after the shooting. Another theater patron who was seated next to Reeves was able to grab the gun and secure it until Pasco County deputies arrived.
Reeves is charged with second-degree murder and is in the custody of the Pasco County Sheriff's Office detention facility located in Land O' Lakes, Fla.
Oulson's dying words, overheard by Alex Cummings, a moviegoer and witness to the incident, were to Cummings as he held Oulson's arm as he staggered before falling. Those dying words were: "I can't believe I just got shot!"
An off-duty nurse in the same theater performed CPR on Oulson until Pasco County Fire/Rescue paramedics were on scene. To no avail, Oulson was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Reeves is scheduled to appear before a Pasco County judge at 1 p/m. this afternoon. He remains in Pasco County jail with no bond.
Notices on the Grove 16 theater website announces it is "Temporarily Closed" and for prospective patrons to "check back soon". It also offers the courtesy offer of a full refund or an exchange of movie passes, once re-opened.
The signage posted at the entrance to the Cobb-owned Grove 16 movie theater profoundly and eerily states that its property is a "Gun-Free zone".
Moviegoer and witness to the entire incident, Charles Cummings, stated "Somebody threw popcorn. I'm not sure who threw the popcorn, and then Bang, he was shot!"

8 megapixel X908 cameraphone from China so good it doesn't need a brand
The Chinese have come such a long way in their practice of borrowing ideas from other inventors that they now probably consider it an art. They're so much improved, in fact, that they can now churn out similar and very competitive, albeit clunkily designed products faster than they used to.
Take the currently unbranded X908 mobile phone, for example. It features no less than a 3-inch QVGA touchscreen, built-in analog TV tuner, FM radio, dual-SIM card support, stereo Bluetooth (A2DP) and a dual microSD card slot design.
And that's not all. The dual-camera setup on the X908 beats every other phone out on the market today. It has an 2 megapixel camera… at the front for video calls! And at the back you'll find an 8 megapixel cam sitting nicely with a retractable 3x optical zoom lens. Quite tasty, if you indulge in mobile photography, no?
With all it's features, I'm surprised it doesn't support 3G and lacks a brand. It's hard to say when this will be coming out of China to other markets, though, so there's probably not too many people hurt by knowing that.

Some Accomplishments, Some Setbacks
Monday, May 13, 2013
+ let's start with the accomplishments!!
+ this morning, i rode 10K on my bike, the longest ride i've done yet this season. the wind was super strong, in my face, for most of the trip, and i chose a route that has more hills on it than usual. it also included some busy streets. when i got back home, my legs felt like jello!! but, i did it! i hope to work up to 15K over the next month or so. i need to start plotting out that route.
+ last week, i biked 6 days in a row, totalling 31.5K. some were with the kids, so slower than my usual pace, and some were solo. i've been forcing myself to bike on some busy roads, so that i can become more comfortable with them. it opens up my route options quite a bit if i can bike on busy roads, even for just a little bit. i'm very fortunate that my city has many bike lanes (though cars don't always respect your space, bike lane or not).
+ i feel like i'm almost ready to move on to w8d1 of c25k. i'm going to see if i can nail w7d3 again on wed, and if i can, i'll move on to w8 on fri... almost done the program! i feel like i *could* run the whole 30 mins, even if i dropped my pace for the last 5. but i will follow the program :D when i'm done, i've decided that i will start it again, but focus more on speed.. so i'll do w1 intervals, but much faster. i'll probably keep the once a week long run, so that i don't totally lose my mental state there
+ big accomplishment of the day... i have 2/3rds of my bday cake just sitting in the fridge, and i haven't touched it all day long (in previous years, it would have been breakfast!). i've decided that i will have a piece after supper tonight, and then i'm giving away the rest. i can't live with that much temptation!
okay, so the setbacks:
+ food, food, food. i haven't completely pulled it together since last thurs/fri. my weekend wasn't great, food wise. it was my birthday (hello, 35!!), and also mother's day, and there was cake, etc. my meals weren't stellar either. tonight, we are going out to a restaurant (for my bday).. the first time in about 6 weeks! i need to make some good choices, and get back on track for the rest of the week.
+ i didn't do a single minute of exercise over the weekend. i was planning on taking sunday off, but i wanted to get in a strength training on sat. it never happened.
+ i was going to c25k today, but after my jello legs bike ride, i couldn't do it. i did run 15 mins out of 30 though, so that's something.
... and looking forward...
+ tomorrow, i start my second week of NRFL4W. it's workout A again, and i'm increasing my weights on most exercises.
+ i have almost 2 months exactly until the Dirty Dash. i will be so proud of myself if i can run the whole thing :D

My Olympic Experience- Anastasia Bucsis Speedskater and guest Blogger
The Olympics were the time of my life. Truly, it was a magical experience in which was completely different from what I was expecting. It was amazing seeing all of the world's best athletes and simply eating with them in the Dining Centre. The feeling of world-wide unity that was produced from the Games was humbling, inspiring, and truly life-changing.
Gold Medal Seats for Mr. Travel Roller!
He arrived at the CDA USA Gold medal final after the first period
goodness was shared by all the countries who felt the "Thrill of winning and the Agony of defeat"!
Day 17 and what a show it has been!
Vancouver, BC will never be the same city after showing the world how great of city and province it is
Day 3 – 2010 Olympics – Stack Experience

If you are either old enough to remember the 1964 election or are a student of politics, you are familiar with Lyndon Johnson's campaign ad that was called "Daisy." It showed a little girl picking daisies. That bucolic image was replaced with footage of a nuclear explosion. The ad suggested that if Barry Goldwater became President, we would have a nuclear war. The ad worked. Goldwater never became President.
Now in 2012, we have seen the footage for what may be the "Daisy" ad of 2012.
What is it?
Appearing on MSNBC today, Foster Friess, the billionaire who is bankrolling Rick Santorum's presidential run said, "On this contraceptive thing, my gosh, it's so inexpensive. You know, back in my days, they used Baer Aspirin for contraceptives. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn't that costly."
There are times you have to ask if some people think before they speak.
This line has already shot through the blogosphere.
Rick Santorum has already come out saying that as President he would "confront the dangers of contraception." He went on to say further on contraception, "It's not OK, because it's a license to do things in the sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be."
Rick Santorum believes states have the right to outlaw contraception.
We are in the second great depression and this is a priority for Santorum? It is something he should not even be talking about.
If Santorum becomes the nominee, he has given the left so much ammunition that will split away many Americans from the conservative movement and the Republican Party that it will make not only a Republican Presidency impossible, but it could turn the tide in the battle for control of congress as well.
A majority of the members of the Tea Party movement are either baby boomers or seniors. A lot of us do not realize what this issue will do to the twenty and thirty something generation.
Each younger generation is a little more liberal than their parents. The generation that is the children and grand children of so many of those in this movement will look at Rick Santorum, not as a conservative but as the man who wants to lead a government that will peek into their bedrooms and control some of the most important decisions in their lives.
Obama cannot win reelection in 2012. Unemployment is over 8%. The real unemployment rate is really 15%. Gas is certainly going to be over $4 a gallon this summer and possibly as much as $5.
Obama cannot win.
The Republican nominee, who ever he is, can lose.
As much as Americans are unhappy with Obama, if they fear the Republican nominee, they will put Obama back in office.
Rick Santorum and Foster Friess, with their insane comments on contraception have the possibility of driving voters under forty back into the arms of Democrats and Obama.
If they fear Santorum more than they fear the economy under Obama, this is a recipe for disaster and that is exactly what will happen.
Friess' statements today and Santorum's statements yesterday and earlier this year will be incredible fodder for the Democrats and their allies in the drive by media.
Those statements will be the soundtrack for the 2012 edition of the Daisy ad for the Democrats.
And it will be just as effective.

He is the only person who can beat Ovomit, half of Romney's staff have supported the Dems in the past, why does Soros want Romney? Huh Huh?
ABC News. Really? You are falling into the MSM/DNC trap.
According to Dick Morris, this is Obama's strategy - to turn contraception into a campaign issue. It seems Santorum is falling for it. I can't believe this is even an issue. There are many more important challenges facing the nation - how about the candidates spend more time on Keystone and how Obama killed thousands of jobs and deprived the US of a secure energy source.
NEWT IN 2012! This whole contraception thing is idiotic -- except for the outrage against Obama's edict for religious institutions to violate their own doctrine - i.e. yet ANOTHER violation of First Amendment rights by President Pookie.
Santorum is not focused on contraception, but responding to the media that is focused on making such issues the focus.
Santorum is a big government conservative. He is extremely conservative socially. He is along the same line as GWB's 'compassionate conservative' which is an oxymoron if one takes compassionate to mean big government conservatism. I am having some real problems after reading Santorum's voting record. I have problems w/Newt's implosion in the past month or so when he got petty and stupid (almost Nixonian) instead of sticking to the moral high ground. I firmly believe if the low ground debates continue the convention shall be a brokered one and we could end up with a real Mexican Army formation. I don't believe Romney is a true conservative. Paul is simply a Libertarian who somehow has been able to morph into a Republican. I am amazed we couldn't find some really outstanding Republican/Conservative candidates. If this is our stable, other than establishment RINO'S, we need to form another real conservative party if the republic survives another four years of this poor excuse of a chief executive.
Your article is stupid and sounds like a liberal wrote. Oh gosh if he acts Conservative he might scare away the moderates! Please, do you want a Conservative or don't you. It's amazing how fast a Conservative can buy into the Liberal media narrative. You'r just upset that Newt has dumped.
Mr. Phillips:
I enjoy your TPN posts, yet if you are worried about destroying a significant part of the base, Mr. Romney is doing it. Romney and Gingrich are full of warts, only Santorum is fresh, Obama's greatest weapon in the 2008 race was not knowing who or what "Hope and Change" really meant. He did not even have a voting record that had a real issue on it. Now every one knows. The numbers will come around when a single candidate is finally selected. It does not matter who the candidate finally is, the media will have plenty of attacks toward them all. We might as well get behind a "conservative" rather than the "progressive lite" candidate.
G. Hawkins
Yup,....It''s a lot easier to let the Cat out of the sack than it is to "ever" get him back inside. Santorum is shallow and it's showing
It is one thing to support a conservative, clearly another to support a conservative with conservative ADD. Santorum is a turn off to women and he won't be elected and we will be stuck with Obama. Newt will come back because this race has been nothing but a roller coaster ride for them all.
The best counter ed-ad to use against Obama & Inc. is the comparison of the old USSR and what the state did for the people (just the facts) to where this country is headed. Maxine Waters own words as a socialist is the gov. to take over the corp. Again, the average voters are very uneducated and need educated. The Rep. Party is very poor in educating the voters and again the Dems (socialist) will hand the Rep's butts on the platter. It is going to take the foot soldiers to tell the real story on what is going on to the uneducated.

We always get a little irked when we see swimsuits in stores in January - it's like our need to work out is slapping us in the face. But then we remember that it's resort season and people with extra time and cash are jetting away to tropical places and those racks of bikinis seem less like a personal affront. If you happen to be one of the lucky ones heading somewhere warm, we highly recommend the Huit Lucky Underwired Bandeau Bikini Top ($53) and matching Short ($28). The top is sized like a bra to keep the twins comfortably on display and in place.

Ruined by Moonlight
Emma Wildes
September 2012, European Historical Romance (Regency England)
Signet, $7.99, 336 pages, Amazon ASIN 045123779XPart of a series
In general, I like when there is more going on in a story than just the primary couple's romance. When secondary characters are also involved in the plot, I feel like the story is more realistic. But there is such a thing as carrying that too far.
On the back cover blurb of Ruined by Moonlight, it indicates that the main couple is Ran and Elena. Ran is a notoriously scandalous bachelor who has no intention of marrying. Elena is a debutante who is from a wealthy family and that has attracted a lot of attention through her first London season. Enough so that she is engaged to a respectable aristocrat. However, one night both Elena and Ran are abducted and thrown together in a room in a secluded castle. Considering that the two have never even been introduced before this, the situation that they find themselves in, and the fact that they are barely clothed, is rather awkward.
There is another couple that is introduced immediately after Ran and Elena. Ben and Alicia have only been married a few months but already poor Alicia is disillusioned. She wanted a partnership that included intimacy while Ben felt that a considerate husband let his wife do her own thing while he did his. As a result, though the two had relations, they still had no relationship. Alicia issues her austere husband an ultimatum no sex until we get to know each other better. After that announcement, Ben is visited by Alicias uncle, who is also Elenas father, and asked to quietly investigate the disappearance of Elena and Ran before an irreparable scandal ensues. Poor Ben is now trapped between opening up to his beautiful wife, while keeping a secret from her about
a beloved cousin. Fortunately for everyone (because if that had gone on too long I might not have finished the book), Alicia is well aware of her cousins disappearance and the two soon become a team investigating the situation.
Of the two stories, Ben and Alicia were by far the more engaging and lovable couple. Often times, Alicia didnt really act like a newly married and sheltered English girl, but I was able to deal with her forthrightness and excuse it based on the fact that she had older married sisters. So despite her atypical behavior I liked their story line. Ran and Elena did far less to make me care about their predicament. A notorious bachelor, with no interest in a virginal debutante, is explaining sexual dominance and the use of bondage in a relationship and yet still believes he isnt compromising her virtue? Not to mention the orgasms that he gives her? Sure he left her a virgin, but I am pretty sure that in Regency London what he did do was undoubtedly considered ruining her. Eventually even he realizes that he put himself in a tough situation with her fiancé, but it
honestly took him too long to realize it.
As I said, I usually enjoy a secondary couple in a romance. These two really werent primary and secondary and that was the problem. There was just too much competition for the spotlight and no one really won in the end. In fact, because there were two equal stories that were really unconnected to each other, I felt more like I was reading two separate books. Until Ran and Elena are rescued by Ben in the midst of their escape attempt, there wasnt any interaction between the two stories. And even afterwards I dont think all four were ever together. It created just too much distance. The fact that the two couples were at totally different points in their relationships and had very little in common meant that there werent even parallels. In the end, it became two stories. One was a predictable story of the notorious bachelor and the virginal debutante, and the other was equally predictable story of the young married couple coming to terms with their expectations of marriage and each other. Though the kidnapping plot mystery wove the two stories together, it just didnt do a good enough job for
This book is the first in a series. It seems that Ben and his investigative skills may be the common denominator in the series, if the teaser chapter is any indication. I will admit that Ben and Alicia were the highlight of this book, but not enough of one to make me follow their story in a series. It is a shame really, because had they been the primary couple in this book I likely would have felt differently. As it stands now, they arent enough to pull me to follow this series in the future.

As the New Orleans Saints enter their final week of offseason workouts with their last organized team activity (that's open to the media) scheduled for Tuesday, Coach Sean Payton seems genuinely pleased with how the offseason has gone.
During the past two months, the Saints have gotten a lot of work in, installing much of the offense, while implementing a heavy dose of their new 3-4 defense under new coordinator Rob Ryan and some of their nickel, dime and dollar packages.
And they have done so without suffering any major injuries.
"We have one more week left (of OTAs)," Payton said last week. "We're pretty healthy, which is encouraging. The most important thing is, with so many new guys, how are they practicing? You have to learn to practice with each other when you're not in pads. It's a little more challenging than just doing it. I was encouraged with not seeing a lot of guys on the ground. Again, all of it is in preparation of training camp."
Although the Saints have had a strong showing this offseason, here are a few areas that will be watched closely at Tuesday's OTA.
1. Malcolm Jenkins
A former first-round pick of the Saints, Jenkins is widely viewed as one of the Saints' most promising defensive players. But after being slowed in the early portions of OTAs with a hamstring injury, Jenkins hasn't dazzled in practice.
He appeared to blow coverage on two big plays on back-to-back days during minicamp. It'll be interesting to see if Jenkins corrects his mistakes and shows some of his playmaking ability during practice.
2. The walking wounded
Payton noted that the Saints have been relatively healthy during offseason workouts, but several players did leave practice last week with injuries.
Cornerback Patrick Robinson (knee) and offensive tackle Terron Armstead (midsection) each was sidelined in minicamp, while strong safety Roman Harper (undisclosed) was limited throughout the sessions. And tight end Benjamin Watson and cornerback Ryan Steed both sat out of all the workouts while recovering from undisclosed ailments.
It'll be worth watching which players are able to return to practice Tuesday.
3. Young receivers
The Saints have a bevy of young receivers -- Nick Toon, Andy Tanner, Kenny Stills, Saalim Hakim, Jarred Fayson and Chris Givens -- vying for a roster spot behind Marques Colston, Lance Moore and Joe Morgan.
So far, Toon and Tanner have been good. Stills hasn't shown much. Hakim's sprinter's speed is obvious. Fayson has caught the coaches' eyes. And Givens is trying to work himself into the mix.
Before the team takes its long break before training camp, it wouldn't hurt any of them to turn in a splendid session and leave a lasting impressing on the staff.
4. Backup quarterback
The Saints likely will go into training camp with Luke McCown getting the majority of the second-team reps and Seneca Wallace serving as the No. 3 quarterback behind Drew Brees.
But on the final day that the media will see the quarterbacks work out, McCown and Wallace will be worth watching as they continue what should be one of the top battles in training camp.
Both players have had their moments. Like the battle with the young receivers, a strong showing by the quarterbacks at the end of the OTAs could give the coaching staff something to think about.
5. Left tackle
Nothing here will be decided until the preseason. But it'll still be interesting to see who lines up with the first-team offense.
Throughout the offseason, Charles Brown, Jason Smith and Armstead have been alternating on an almost practice-by practice basis. But Brown, the one holdover from last year's team, took the first-team reps during last week's minicamp.
If Brown can manage to stay healthy, it should be his job to lose.

Each year new college graduates either begin their new jobs or come to the realization they really need to find a job. Let's take a look at each of these situations and discuss a few areas that new college graduates may wish to consider as they face these new changes to their daily life.
Consider yourself to be one of the fortunate few if you have just graduated college and have been able to secure a position in the company or the field you were striving to work in. Take a look at the following facts as reported by The Center for College Affordability and Productivity:
- 48 percent of college graduates who are employed are occupying jobs that the Bureau of Labor Statistics suggests require less than a four year college education.
- 37 percent are in jobs that require no more than a high school diploma.
- Approximately five million are in various jobs which do not require a high school diploma!
The fortunate few who have the job, who have the position they wanted in a company they really wanted to work for – recognize these facts. Be appreciative of this opportunity. Understand you will not become the Vice President of the company after the first two months. Dress appropriately each day. Speak with people and look them in the eye. Become a good listener. Learn the business the way it really works.
The group of recent college graduates who are now seeking to find a job – any job – here are a few tips for you to consider. First is to focus on the type of work you would be interested in obtaining a position. Second is to create a list of the companies and where they are located where this type of position at an entry level might be part of the organization chart. What we are doing with step one and step two is to narrow your focus and clearly defining what you are seeking. This will be a tremendous help to your job search in this next step. Third is to empower your network. Are you feeling a bit lost? You will be empowering your network to help you. Most people really do want you to be successful and they do want to help you.
Let's take an example – IF your Uncle Phil sees you at your graduation party and you mention to Uncle Phil you are looking for any job and if he can help you out it would be greatly appreciated. Now Uncle Phil really does want to help you out. Is he able to help you based upon what he heard? Now what if instead he heard from you, now that graduation is passed my main focus is to get a job at x, y, or z company as an accountant. Now Uncle Phil is able to see who he might know in his network who either works for one of these companies or knows someone who does. You have empowered him to help you.

As I learned from a friend who had to spend the weekend in jail for a DUI, "bird" is jail slang for chicken.
Why be so specific and use the word "chicken"? Bird is a more convenient word to memorize for a person with only a 100 word vocabulary.

Great Dunes at Jekyll Island
Jekyll Island, GA 31527
In 1926 the "Old Man" Walter Travis, the leading golf course architect of the time, was summoned by Mr. Rockefeller and the wealthy members of the Jekyll Island Club to create the "Best course money could purchase". His vision did not disappoint and had the club members golfing along Coastal Georgia's beach, swept with oats, natural sand barrier of the coastal dune system and the unique coastal terrain. Still in its original condition, this 9-hole golf course highlights the alternating simplicity and difficulty that only the "Old Man" could accomplish and a direct descendent of all modern American Ocean Links courses. Jekyll Island, Georgia's largest public golf resort, offers 63 holes of golf on the historic Great Dunes 9-hole course, as well as on three 18-hole courses - Oleander, Pine Lakes, and Indian Mound.

I have a product that I am confident will be granted a patent. I am also confident that it is worth patenting from a commercial point of view. Whilst being very different and not obvious, the product is an improvement on a previous lapsed patent that carries out a repair in domestic homes. I would like to outline and file my patent application, then launch the product, and complete the patent process with a relevant patent lawyer, whilst the product is selling. The question I would like to ask is; what is the best and most economical way of achieving this?
My overly-simplified view. There are two broad ways to file a utility patent application (I do not know what the title "WW patent" means). Option (a): file the application through a professional (patent lawyer or agent); the "best" option but not the cheapest. Option (b): file it yourself; NOT the "best" but it will the cheapest and will also be unlikely to result in the protection you want.
There are two applications paths available, regardless of the options above. A "Provisional" application will establish your priority date (giving you a year to get things together, incorporation, funding, etc); or a "Non-Provisional" application will begin the actual patent process. If using a Provisional, be aware that your final Non-Provisional will only get the benefit of the earlier filing date of the provisional application for content that was well covered in the Provisional. Thus the effort and cost of a really solid Provisional application could be almost equal to the filing of a Non-Provisional application. I have observed that Provisional applications are often used to spawn a series of similar/related Non-Provisional applications, thereby providing a wider range of claims that may collectively provide greater protection to the inventor (or, an wider net for patent trolls to cast).

- Release Date: Dec. 19, 1974
- Director: Guy Hamilton
- Main Actors: Roger Moore, Christopher Lee, Britt Ekland
Roger Moore's second portrayal of James Bond sees the celebrated spy match wits with mysterious hit man Scaramanga (played by Christopher Lee), who uses a golden gun and bullets in his assassinations and never misses his mark. MI6 believes Scaramanga is out to kill Bond, so it pulls 007 out of service. This results in James Bond embarking on a quest to find and kill Scaramanga first. At the same time, James Bond needs to keep a scientist's solex agitator (a device that will capture the sun's power and stave off an energy crisis) out of the hands of Scaramanga.
The Man With The Golden Gun's lack of success at the box office speaks volumes about what fans felt was one of the weakest movies in the 007 catalog. The film grossed $97.6 million, the worst showing since 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service, starring George Lazenby, brought in $87.4 million. By comparison, Roger Moore's first role as James Bond, 1973's Live And Let Die, took home $161.8 million, while his third Bond movie, The Spy Who Loved Me, grossed $185.4 million. The Man With The Golden Gun was panned for relying too much on humor and innuendo rather than the tried-and-tested James Bond staples of cool gadgets and gripping action scenes. "Bond goes after [Scaramanga] with an arsenal of wit, innuendo and double entendres," reads the movie's synopsis on RottenTomatoes.com, which gives the film just a 68% rating on the Tomatometer.
Almost any fan of James Bond will sit through whatever movie comes his way, and The Man With The Golden Gun is no different. On one hand, it features the cat-and-mouse game of Bond versus Scaramanga, which stays fresh throughout most of the script. However, on the other hand, there's less of what guys really like, such as awe-inspiring gadgets. When James Bond finally squares off with his nemesis near the film's end, their rivalry becomes downright silly and, worst of all, anticlimatic. Guys will always hope for that perfect edge-of-your-seat showdown, but this film just doesn't live up to our expectations, and men will likely get up from this movie wondering where the last two hours went. The standard car chases, fight scenes and hot Bond girl (played by Britt Ekland) aren't enough to make The Man With The Golden Gun a winner for guys.

Many recipes call for wine. Has anyone authoritative written about the halachic status of cooking with wine in the nine days? Would it matter if the alcohol were cooked off?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Nit'e Gavriel, Ben Ham'tzarim volume 1, chapter 39, paragraph 6:
In a footnote, he indicates that this comes from applying Magen Avraham 551:29 — that food cooked with meat is forbidden by custom — to wine. He then notes that Mishna B'rura :63 allows such meaty food if the meat is less than (or equal to) 1/61 of the whole dish, but demurs at applying that leniency to wine kneaded into dough, since women knead dough. He also cites Or'chos Chayim (in the name of the M'ore Or) as indicating that one should not eat fish cooked in wine.
In answer to your 2nd question, if the wine is "cooked off", I think that the issue in Mishnah Brurah, mentioned above, is if something obtains the taste of wine. MB does address "chometz" or vinegar, stating that it's OK to use wine vinegar, despite the fact that it is made from wine. That's b/c vinegar does not have the taste of wine, and people don't drink vinegar. In short, the prohibition of wine is that it is pleasing.
Thus, even if the alcohol from the wine is "cooked off", the food probably has the taste of the wine. Onion soup, and wine in a fish sauce obtains the taste of the wine. I don't know, though, if there is a certain minimum volume that may apply to this "obtaining wine taste" rule. Perhaps, it depends both on the food and type of wine. (IMO, Manischewitz Malaga should be prohibited even NOT during the 9 days :-)

Secrets of Success
Making the connection to how you feel afterwards
Wednesday, January 11, 2012
I just wrote a comment over at Rainthief's blog, and thought "Hey, I should make an actual post about this!"
I like to listen to The People's Pharmacy, a radio show on NPR about health and medicine. On New Year's weekend, they did a show about willpower: how to handle it when you want to make good long-term choices, but in the moment, you want to go with the easier, less good choice. It was a great show -- they brought in an expert psychologist who talked about a number of techniques you can use to improve your willpower. I highly recommend downloading the podcast (instructions here:
), or you can just listen to the recording directly from the website, here:
. (It's show number 840, "Willpower Science.")
One of the things they talked about was making the mental connection between the choice you're making now, and how you'll feel AFTER you make that choice -- and then treating yourself with true compassion, by making the choice that will truly make you feel better.
One of the hosts gave an example. When he has to fly, he gets really stressed out. He usually ends up buying and eating a whole box of Good'n'Plenty candy while waiting for his flight. Then, of course, he feels ill and miserable for the whole flight because he just ate a whole box of candy! He said the last time he flew, he was super-stressed out, having a terrible day, and the candy was calling to him. He was about to buy it -- and then he said to himself "Joe, if you eat this candy, you'll feel sick and miserable in about an hour. Do you want to feel like that?" Once he made that connection, suddenly the candy didn't seem nearly so alluring anymore.
I'm trying to make those kinds of connections about my habits.
I have succeeded at making that connection when it comes to fast food burgers and fries. In the past, I'd crave the immediate taste of those things, eat them, and then feel really sick and miserable about an hour later, all that grease and salt and sugar just sitting in my stomach like a rock. Now, the taste is linked so strongly in my head to feeling sick and miserable that I don't crave fast food burgers anymore. In fact, I actively dislike them. Even thinking about eating one makes me feel kind of sick.
I need to work on making the mental connection that I feel physically better after I exercise. In the past I've over-exercised and felt exhausted and unhappy afterwards, which has caused me to burn out. But when I exercise at a nice moderate pace, I actually do feel happier, calmer, and more energized afterwards. I need to start doing that kind of good, moderate exercise regularly and reinforce that mental connection.
There was a lot of other interesting stuff in that People's Pharmacy episode, which I might write about later. But today, I wanted to muse about making that connection.

Nice blog.
It's true...I didn't realize it until you stated it here, but that is the technique I use myself. I also detest fast food now, and have connected to good feelings and wellness feeling after exercise. I am hoping to apply it to other areas, but hadn't realized exactly what it was I was doing.
Not usually an NPR fan, but that podcast sounds worthy of a listen

I haven't heard it but I'll definitely check it out, thanks!
Those Ah Ha moments are hard to make habitual, but it's just something we all have to fight for. It comes down to the fact that you can be your biggest hero or worst enemy. This year, it seems like I am finally making myself more into the hero than the chunky enemy. Consistency and discipline (and flat out 'I'm sick and tired of being this way' feelings) are coming through.
You have to keep reminding yourself of the goal and how you can get there, and question if the action you're considering is going to get you there or not.

Heart Of Design Beats In Istanbul
Istanbul is getting ready for a week chock full of design.
Starting on September 29, Istanbul Design Week will run through October 3, bringing the city everything there is to do with design.
Among the week's most eagerly awaited sections is 'Istanbul Independent', which brings together the products of young designers working independently in areas such as product, graphic and fashion design.
The projects, chosen with the participation of different student groups and developed around a uniquely Istanbul theme, will ensure interaction between students in the different branches of design.
A series of seminars, panels and lectures where world-famous names in design will share their experiences will lay the groundwork for a discussion of current topics in design in all their ramifications. The lectures, featuring names like Karim Rashid, Massimilian Fuksas, Michael Young, Tom Tjaarda, Prof. Ron. A Nabarro, Mario Nanni, Sudhir Sharma, Eva Ziegler and Isao Hosoe, will be followed by workshops bringing together design students.

What is in this article?:
- Soybean growers chart policy course during Commodity Classic
- Direct payments on way out
• The policies are raised, voted on and established as ASA priorities through an entirely farmer-driven process.
• It keeps farmers involved and it keeps ASA firmly tied to the everyday concerns of soybean farmers.
Direct payments on way out
Also in the farm bill discussion, delegates noted that in order to pay for the costs of improvements to crop insurance, SCO, and a decoupled target price program and to meet part of any deficit reduction targets, direct payments may have to be reduced or eliminated.
As has been ASA's position throughout the negotiations, ASA encourages agriculture to accept its fair share of spending reductions, provided they are proportionate with cuts to other federal programs and do not weaken the federal crop insurance program.
The farm bill resolution approved by the delegates also contained language encouraging Congress to protect valuable programs streamlining conservation programs, reauthorizing and funding biodiesel and biobased education programs, agricultural research, trade development and food aid programs.
ASA's delegates formalized the association's support of a comprehensive Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) Agreement with the European Union that would provide meaningful market access for exports of U.S. soybean products and address trade barriers, including current EU biotechnology policies, and the Renewable Energy Directive (RED).
ASA continues support of funding for waterways infrastructure including additional and alternative financing measures that provide a steadier and more reliable funding stream to reduce project costs and timeframes for completion.
Biotechnology was also a key topic of discussion, as delegates voted to encourage the swift approval and deregulation of high-oleic soybeans. The delegates also established the association's opposition to state food labeling requirements that go beyond those implemented by the federal government.
On regulatory matters, ASA's delegates supported raising the quantity of on-farm fuel storage that would be subject to the EPA's new regulations requiring containment plans and practices to 10,000 gallons or greater.
Delegates also expressed support for voluntary conservation and water-quality programs that are farmer led.
Finally, delegates endorsed the work undertaken by the soybean industry to develop a "U.S. Soy Sustainability Assurance Protocol" that documents and promotes to buyers worldwide that U.S. soybeans are the world's most sustainably-produced soybeans.
The resolutions passed by the delegates will be available in full on the ASA website,www.soygrowers.com, in the coming weeks.
(ASA has been active on the crop insurance effort. An example can be found at Soybean growers meet with RMA about crop insurance cover crop rules. On another front, Soybean growers ask Congress to commit to new farm bill).

Bai Ling
"I had heard about how people struggle and how hard it is to get into acting. But I did not care because it's something I love." -Bai Ling
Bai Ling first riveted American audiences in Red Corner (1997), then went on to take parts in Wild Wild West (1999), Anna and the King (1999), and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004). If you missed her appearances on Touched by an Angel and The Chris Isaak Show, you can catch her in Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith (2005).
Hollywood has taken notice of Bai Ling's enigmatic allure; after all, she played the "Mysterious Woman" in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, and she was just as hard to pin down as a lesbian in Spike Lee's She Hate Me. Bai Ling's sex appeal tends to come through no matter which character she happens to be portraying.
Despite all that, Bai Ling doesn't yet have the name recognition of some other expatriate Eastern actors (such as Michelle Yeoh, Jackie Chan and her Anna and the King co-star, Chow Yun-Fat). Nevertheless, we're sure that once she lands roles that better showcase her abilities, Bai Ling will be a household name, even in America.
Bai Ling BiographyBai Ling (meaning "White Spirit") was born in Chengdu, China, on October 10, 1970, during that country's Cultural Revolution. Her father was a music teacher, and her mother was a dancer and stage actress. As a result of their creative professions, the government cruelly treated Bai Ling's parents, and so the infant Bai Ling was sent to Szechwan to be raised by her grandmother.
While Bai Ling sang in her school choir as a child, it wasn't until she turned 14 and became a "soldier" in the People's Liberation Army that she took to the stage; she was put in a performance troupe sent to entertain soldiers in Tibet for three years. Like her parents before her, Bai Ling clashed with authority, and she was accused of insubordination for using tobacco and alcohol. By the end of her army service, Bai Ling suffered from depression and was hospitalized.
bai ling arrives in america
Her breakdown notwithstanding, Bai Ling had found that she could express herself through acting. She joined the Szechwan Theater Company after her recovery, and she soon caught the eye of a number of progressive and traditional Chinese directors. She was cast in film roles ranging from a peasant girl to a pop star, including her most acclaimed early role in the contemporary Chinese drama Hu guang (a.k.a. Arc Light) in 1988, where she played a woman suffering from mental illness. The next year, Bai Ling took part in the infamous Tiananmen Square protests, which further alienated her from the Chinese government.
At age 21, Bai Ling came to America as a visiting scholar at NYU's film school and took classes at the Lee Strasberg Institute. It was supposed to be a temporary move, but Bai Ling was eager to learn English so that she could break into American films, and she was issued a special visa and allowed to stay in the United States due to her actions at Tiananmen Square. Making her American film debut, Bai Ling played a villain in 1994's dark thriller The Crow and, the following year, she played a Chinese interpreter in Oliver Stone's biopic Nixon.
bai ling in red corner
Bai Ling's English-language breakthrough came in 1997 when she played a Chinese lawyer in Red Corner, opposite Richard Gere. The film was an indictment of the Chinese judicial system and human rights abuses; although she knew she would suffer repercussions from her participation, Bai Ling felt that the evils going on in her country needed to be exposed. Sure enough, Red Corner was banned in China and North Korea. Bai Ling's contracts to appear in upcoming Chinese films were torn up and her passport was revoked. However, the National Board of Review gave Bai Ling a Breakthrough Performance award; more importantly, Uncle Sam gave her U.S. citizenship in 1999.
bai ling in anna and the king
Once her relocation was made permanent, Bai Ling appeared in a number of big Hollywood productions. 1999 saw her in Wild Wild West and Anna and the King (for which she had to cut her waist-length hair). More recently, she's been seen in The Beautiful Country (2004), My Baby's Daddy (2004), Spike Lee's She Hate Me (2004), and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004), starring Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie.
bai ling in revenge of the sith
Bai Ling has a small role as a senator in the highly anticipated Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith (2005), and will also appear in Man About Town (2005), starring Ben Affleck. Bai Ling lives in Marina del Rey, California, and is dating singer/actor Chris Isaak.

I have a very very fast SSD OCZ Revo. I want to use a lot of RAM but I'm limited to 4GB RAM for the moment. If I use my SSD OCZ Revo as swap (the whole of it, 160GB), does that mean I have effectively 164GB RAM size total?
My question is, how does linux treat swap? How can I use my SSD as RAM with the true RAM together? Anyone knows?

Earlier this month, a family in Sun Valley California reported that a mountain lion attacked and killed their pet dog. Their dog, along with another family, have lost their pets to a mountain lion. There have also been several other residents who have heard animals scream or howl at night and believe that mountain lions are the reason. To read the rest of the article, you can find it on CBS News's website, here.
If you live in an area where mountain lions are known to roam, the California Department of Fish and Game advises the following tips:
- Do not feed deer
- Trim brush to reduce the hiding places for mountain lions
- Don't let your pets out at night, dusk, and dawn. These are times mountain lions are the most active.
- Bring pet food inside to avoid attracting wild animals to your yard
- If you hike or jog think about finding a friend to accompany you
- If you come face to face with a mountain lion, do not run, try to make yourself look bigger by waving your arms
- Throw rocks and other objects if you encounter a mountain lion to scare it away
- If attacked, fight back
- If you witness an attack, immediately call 911

Who cares? No one cares. This show has no meaning. It has no purpose. What would you even classify this show as? It can't possibly be a horror, since nothing horrifying happens. It can't possibly be a suspense show, since the show doesn't even try to create suspense on a basic level. You might classify it as a comedy, if you interpret it's awfulness as a an attempt to create something so unintentionally bad, except here's the plot twist: they did it on purpose! That's the only argument I ever see that may potentially be the show's saving grace. But you know what I think? They tried too hard to make it bad... See full review
"Well, would you look at this artistic anime! My, my. Kaneki is unlucky and tragic and that makes him a deep and well developed character." This is a blister that needs to be popped. This show is a sequel to a decent production by Studio Perriot made fairly recently. Tokyo Ghoul. What a controversial show that's turned out to be. Quite unpopular with some manga fans, the first was really only decent at best. It's philosophy was done before and a bit underdeveloped, and the characters weren't very well explored. In addition, the show had a very open, "trollish" ending, and so a second... See full review
Pupa is a masterpiece in it's own right, being both a psychological anime and fitting so much frightening themes into a small time period. It says wonders about an anime that's only five minutes long to be so fantastic. It's truly a psychological journey into the monsters inside all of us, and how family can always mend breaks in your life. Not to mention act as sexy incest bait. Pupa truly is one of my favorite animes, not because it's borderline porn and a great way to get off, but because it's just so encompasses the themes it tries to shoot for so well, and I totally got that while watching Yume eat out...

A historic home in Pflugerville and a "moveable" jail cell in San Marcos – both potential victims of suburban growth in the Austin area – made Preservation Texas' 2012 list of the nine most endangered places in the state.
The William Pfluger House, at 1512 Pflugerville Parkway, was home to five generations of the Pfluger family. It dates back to 1875.
The "moveable" cell served as the jail in Kyle. Today, it's temporarily located at the San Marcos Academy, a Christian boarding and day school at 2801 Ranch Road 12.
"By calling attention to these sites now, we want to encourage local action while there's still time," said Jim Ray, president of Austin-based Preservation Texas, a partner of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. "It is our hope that inclusion on our list will provide those who care for these sites with the support, expertise and momentum to take their preservation efforts to the next level."
The two-story William Pfluger House, made of limestone, is surrounded by suburban development. A German immigrant, Pfluger was a rancher, banker and cotton gin owner, and a founding father of Pflugerville.
"As the Central Texas region continues to outpace the state and nation in growth, the community of Pflugerville is struggling to keep ties with its past and accommodate the future," Preservation Texas said. "Concerned citizens, the city and the school district support the concept of restoring the property; however, several attempts to provide funds and to find a solution have failed."
Preservation Texas fears that if the house isn't saved, "the story of Pflugerville's roots will be lost to more parking lots and big-box stores." The house sits northwest of a Walmart store.
According to the City of Pflugerville, the home has been vacant for about 15 years. Led by the Pfluger Haus Foundation, efforts are under way to restore and preserve the home "as a local landmark and a beautiful monument to Pflugerville's heritage."
In San Marcos, the moveable jail cell – which looks like an outhouse – also is at risk. The wooden cell remained in use until 1925 as Kyle's city jail. It later was moved to Aquarena Springs in San Marcos, but a lack of funding forced its removal. At the last minute, it was rescued and relocated to the current location in San Marcos.
Preservation Texas called the jail cell "a valuable piece of Hays County history."
"It needs a permanent home where it can be restored and appreciated," the preservation group said. "Local advocates are working to raise funds and public support to preserve the moveable jail cell in order to tell a broader story of the county's history."

Couponing…..the crazyiness I just learned of!
I love coupons!……I will say it again, I love coupons!
I have been using coupons for so many years. Way, way, way before that stupid show on TLC aired: Extreme Couponing.
I recently found out about the new Walmart coupon policy changes. They went into effect September 1, 2012. At first it really "torqued my jaw", "ticked me off" and just all around irradiated the crap out of me! I have had "issues" with Walmart a few times in the past. Once I was treated like a thief by one of the managers. She really pissed me off – and I was NEVER rude; I wanted to be – but where would that have gotten me? I was using my coupons correctly. I was not doing anything wrong. But she treated me as if I was……Anyway, on to the reason for this post.
After reading an interesting post from iheartthemart.com :
I was blown away by the information, I was completely shocked. I then went to jillactaldo.com and read more:
What a thieving witch this woman is! Thank you Jaime Kirlew! Because of thieves like you, I get treated like a thief…..thanks! Here I am trying to save my family a little money by clipping coupons, and using them in the manner I am supposed to – and you go ripping stores off so they don't trust any of us! You are giving couponers a bad name. I honestly hope they have pursued charges against you. You know what you are doing is wrong. I can't believe you had the nerve to blame it on a company you supposedly learned it from. And just because they said to do it, you did! And you actually think it's fine. Come on woman! you are a mom, haven't you ever heard or used the: "and if all of your friends jumped off a bridge, are you gunna do it too?" What the heck were you thinking woman? That is a great example to show your kids. One day your kids will Goggle your name. How embarrassing!
By now, I am guessing y'all have clicked on the links above and know where I am coming from. I had NEVER heard of this type of fraud before. Maybe y'all already have, I don't know. But I wanted to help spread the word a bit.
I kinda understand why Walmarts are such jerks to the couponing community. They have been getting ripped off. The part that still gets me is: they know that the fraud is NOT the norm, but they treat us all as the crooks. Which is really bad business. And with the new policy changes – it's going to be very difficult to use legit coupons. Because if the computer does not scan the coupon correctly ON THE FLATBED scanner….they will refuse it! They are not allowed to use the hand held scanner for the coupons. At least before all of this mess – they used to manually put the coupon in and then it would take. Now they will not do that any more. Why does that tick-me-off? Because every single time I go to Walmart….it doesn't matter if I use one or twenty coupons; there are ALWAYS some that won't scan. And they ARE legit COUPONS! But Walmart does not care!
I take great pride in the way I "get" my printed coupons. I ONLY go to the reputable sites to print from. I have never "copied" coupons to have more than the allowed amount. I have ALWAYS practiced proper couponing. I just wish everyone did the same.
So my friends – have I ticked-you-off too? ~smh~
Sorry. :0)
Blessings All, till next time.

Warmer weather draws crowds for second straight week

Pat Krause/Daily Globe
Malcolm Chartier, of Fair Haven, races to victory in the USSA Pro Star Series signature event, the TLR cup race, on Sunday at the Gogebic County Fairgrounds
IRONWOOD - Fans from far and wide gathered in the grandstands at the Gogebic County Fairgrounds for the Pro-series U.S. Snowmobile Association races Saturday and Sunday.
Among the crowd was Ron Fjerstad, father to one of the racers, Joey Fjerstad, 24, of Minneapolis.
Joey Fjerstad has been racing since 2004, working his way up from stock class to championship class. Ron enjoys following his son to the races.
Barb Reinhard, of Ironwood, came out to the races on Sunday. It wasn't her first time.
Reinhard loves going to the snowmobile races and has attended many. Her favorite part is "the adrenaline and the smell," she said.
Another fan, Ron Anderson, of Bessemer, said he sees the races as "something to do to get out of the house in the winter."
The past weekend's Pro-series USSA races was the second weekend of Ironwood Snowmobile Olympus at the fairgrounds. The pro-vintage snowmobile races were held on Jan 3-5 at the fairgrounds.

August 2012 we went to Harley Davidson rally Hog 'N' Bog in Northern Ireland - Coleraine. Four Days. Four men. Three bikes. Curvy country roads, beautiful hills, smooth Guinness and lots of laugh. We did about 740 miles from Crewe up to Coleraine and the back. Ireland and Northern Ireland offers plenty of wonderful scenery and great roads.
