LOS ANGELES — I have shopped all over the world: in Toronto, I shop at Rochester Big and Tall. In New York, Rochester Big and Tall. In London, Rochester; Chicago, Rochester. Being 6-foot-4 with 37-inch sleeves, my choices in clothing have been pretty limited. At most big and tall men's stores, Nehru jackets are just coming into style.
That was a bit of a problem when I was a personal manager and knew that there'd be some "Hollywood" people judging me on my "look." Though I love dressing well, most clothing stores are fashion museums to me, and stylish clothes the artifacts.
I compensated with ties. I became known for having an amazing tie collection: thin, wide, vintage and new. While designer threads were out of the question because they weren't made in my size, I got people to focus on the one fashion accessory where I could compete.
Instead of accepting my limitations, I concentrated on the positives.
Similarly, as a personal manager, my job was to change an artist's dreams into goals into realities. And I did it by concentrating on what I did best—recognize personalities that could be developed into stars—and showcasing their positives to producers and studios.
Craig Ferguson, for instance, is known to millions of television viewers as the super-confident host of CBS' The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson. But Craig wasn't so confident when it came to auditioning when he moved here in 1995; in fact, he hated it so much that I had to pay him $100 every time I wanted him to do so.
So I concentrated on getting him meetings. A set of meetings with NBC execs got them interested in doing a development deal for his own sitcom, but first they asked him to audition to play the Latin photographer in the then-casting new Brooke Shields series.
Not surprisingly, the feedback I got from the casting director was that Craig—from Glasgow, Scotland—wasn't Latin enough. But would, I was asked, Craig be interested in auditioning for the producers of The Drew Carey Show? The show was adding a "boss" character for its second season.
"No," I answered, "I've already given Craig $100 today so he'd audition for Suddenly Susan, so it'll have to be a meeting." After the casting director stopped laughing that a manager was actually paying an actor to audition, the meeting was set up, and Craig spent the next six years as Mr. Wick, Drew Carey's difficult but hilariously funny employer.
Knowing that Craig needed to raise his "celebrity quotient" so he'd avoid auditioning later, I also had him become a regular on the talk show circuit. It worked perfectly: when the Late, Late Show was searching for a new host, its first list was made from favorite guests. Not surprisingly, Craig was on that list.
Craig wasn't thrilled even with this tryout. Though we'd long stopped working together, I contacted him to wish him luck. He was talking about not wanting to do it. "Fine," I told him, "just let it be your choice. Do the job you know you can do, they'll offer you the job, and then if you don't want it, turn it down." Not surprisingly, he didn't turn it down.
This is an easily transferable concept, one I've brought up before. If you are a good marketer, concentrate on that and maybe consider an alliance with someone with terrific operational skills. But most important: instead of fretting about your shortcomings, realize that your skills are what becomes your meal ticket.
Now if anyone can convince Prada and Armani to make clothes in my size (and my price range), I'd be much obliged.

A pedestrian dies after being hit by a police vehicle in the seaside town, with one police officer said to be slightly injured.
11:34, UK, Thursday 13 March 2014
A pedestrian has been killed by a police car in East Sussex.
The victim, thought to be a man in his 40s, was hit on the A259 at White Rock, Hastings, on Wednesday evening.
Police and paramedics at the scene tried to save him but he died at the crash site.
Two police officers were travelling in the vehicle, which was responding to a report of a car being driven by a disqualified driver in the area.
One of the officers is reported to have been slightly injured in the collision.
A police spokesman said the matter is being referred to the police watchdog, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
"The full circumstances of the incident have yet to be established," he added.
Sussex Police have asked for anyone with information to call 101, quoting Operation Marshside.
The car believed to have been driven by the disqualified motorist has not been found.

WASHINGTON - Last week, pro-labor and progressive activists were warning that the Obama administration was about to propose changes in the system for calculating Social Security cost-of-living increases that amounted to serious cuts in Social Security.
Next week the President is expected to do just that in a formal budget proposal that would base future cost-of-living hikes for Social Security recipients on the "chained CPI," instead of the Consumer Price Index.
Labor and its allies in a broad array of movements are rising up against the plan.
"Chained CPI is a Social Security cut plain and simple." said AFL-CIO Director of Policy Damon Silvers. "One of the key things that makes Social Security a real provider of economic security is that it has a Cost of Living Adjustment that protects the value of benefits as time passes. Chained CPI is a Washington trick."
Members of the Progressive Caucus and African American and minority lawmakers in particular are rejecting the plan.
"Everyone has a grandparent, a friend or a neighbor who relies on the Social Security benefits they earned to pay for medical care, food and housing," said Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) "A move toward chained CPI would be a long term benefit cut for every single person who receives a Social Security check."
To that end, senior and veterans' groups in particular, are up in arms. The chained CPI approach, according to the AARP, would slash $146 billion from senior and veterans' benefits over the next 10 years.
"The COLA change would hurt seniors and vets who are already on tighter budgets stretched now by prescriptions, utility bills, mortgage and health care costs," the association said in a statement..
Roger Hickey of the Campaign for America'sFuture said that "if Obama pushes the chained CPI as part of a proposed 'grand bargain' with the GOP to reduce future federal budget deficits he'll alienate key parts of his coalition, break faith with the voters and shatter the Democratic Party."
The CAF has been inundating the White House all week with e-mails opposing the chained CPI and any cuts to Medicare and Medicaid.
Fifty five percent of voters oppose the "chained" CPI. A recent poll, Strengthening Social Security: What Do Americans Want?, from the National Academy of Social Insurance (NASI), highlights a large majority, 64 percent, thought the COLA should be increased to better protect seniors and other beneficiaries from inflation and rising prices of food, utilities and other necessities.
The chained CPI produces a smaller measure of the prior year's inflation, to calculate smaller Social Security benefit hikes than the currently used measure - the Consumer Price Index. More than 50 million people now get Social Security and tens of millions more rely on it as their prime source of retirement income.
Obama is expected, on Wednesday, to send a budget plan to Capitol Hill that is different form the usual statements of principle regarding the budget that Republicans have rejected out of hand.
The idea is to get the Republicans to agree to new taxes on the wealthy and on corporations in exchange for the Social Security cuts.
Some commentators said this morning that since Republicans don't look like they are willing to give any ground on higher taxes for corporations, that the president's proposals don't really amount to much - no one, they say, has really moved off their original positions.
Progressives are not taking any chances, however, and since they expect the president to propose some very specific cuts they are speaking out.
"Let us not balance the budget on the backs of the most vulnerable," said independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
"What the chained CPI would do to seniors on Social Security is bad," Sanders said. "Many of them are living on $13,000, $14,000 or $15,000 a year on Social Security benefits. The chained CPI would say to them, if you are 65 today, by the time you are 75, your benefits would be cut by some $650 a year. By the time you are 85, your benefits would be cut by $1,000 a year.
"What this whole debate is about is how do we go forward with deficit reduction in a way which is fair, a way which is moral, and a way which calls for good economic policy. I would argue when some of the largest corporations in America pay zero in federal income taxes, before we cut Social Security and benefits for disabled veterans, we ask those people to start paying their fair share of taxes."
"This must be stopped," Hickey warned. The "grand bargain" Obama proposes to reach with the GOP on deficits "would bargain away the pillars of the New Deal." Hickey calls the grand bargain "a grand swindle."
The proposal on budget deficit reduction coming from President Obama is supposed to replace the indiscriminate sequester cuts that went into effect several weeks ago. The administration has said that it would back things like the chained CPI and other cuts, however, only if Republicans agree to significant additional taxes on the rich.
The other spending reductions included in the 'compromise' Obama budget include $400 billion from health programs and $200 billion from farm subsidies, federal employee retirement programs and unemployment compensation. In Medicare, savings would come largely from payments to health care providers and pharmaceutical companies and by having higher income beneficiaries pay more for coverage, but also from what would amount to cuts in benefits, critics point out.
Advocates for Medicare point out that even with the sequester cuts, which were supposed to shield Medicare, there are reports now that Medicare patients are not getting needed chemotherapy treatments at clinics which themselves have been forced to make cuts due to the sequester.

I want to ship a piece of hardware to clients that they plug in to their network via Ethernet or USB. This device contains an ASP.NET web application that they access via a web browser on any PC in their network.
This needs to be a small device that costs less than $500, meaning it can't be a full server with a Win2008 server license. This would be repeated hundreds or thousands of times - once for each new customer.
Running Mono on Linux is not an option because my app uses Entity Framework, which is not currently supported by Mono.
Are there external hard drives or NAS devices that can run as an IIS/ASP.NET web server?
Thanks, Roger

September 2015
Not as small as SeaLife Hannover/Germany but worth a trip to do. Don't forget to looks around the harbour area where the Aquarium has been built in. A good example for the new usage of old industrial waste land.
August 2014
I loved the aquarium, especially the water park. ..I wish there were more activities than the waste spots though. Maybe a slide upgrade.

Ken Lertzman
Professor and Hakai Professor
Forest Ecology
B.Sc. (Zoology, University of Manitoba)
M.Sc. (Zoology, University of British Columbia)
Ph.D. (Zoology, University of British Columbia)
Dr. Ken Lertzman is interested in a broad range of topics related to ecosystem dynamics, conservation, and management. His research has focused on how natural disturbance regimes and management interact to produce pattern and dynamics in forest stands and landscapes. Dr. Lertzman has an ongoing interest in how changing climate drives ecosystems and the landscapes and resources available to people who live in them—and how people respond to those changes. Increasingly Ken's work focuses on trying to understand the complex dynamics and resilience of coupled social-ecological systems. This is being applied in his collaborative, multi-disciplinary work as part of the Hakai Research Network. The Hakai Network works in partnership with First Nations and others to conduct and apply research about ecosystem-based management and sustainability on the British Columbia Coast. Ken's current research examines climate change impacts, adaptation, and mitigation, alternative silvicultural systems, analysis of forest light environments, ecological restoration, forest fire risk analysis, analysis of forest tenures and stewardship, and First Nations' forestry and Traditional Ecological Knowledge. Dr. Lertzman and his students work closely with researchers from other disciplines, as well as representatives of government agencies, First Nations, industries, and other non-governmental groups in applying their research to problems in ecosystem conservation, restoration, and management.

Addition: x + y = y + x. For example 1 + 3 = 3 + 1. In both cases, you get a sum of 4.
Multiplication: xy = yx. For example, 3 x 4 = 4 x 3. In both cases, you get a product of 12.
In other words, for both properties, the order in which the terms appear in the equation are irrelevant. Regardless of the order, you will always obtain the same result.
Remembering how to understand the commutative property is simple. We can simply think of a "commuter." Just as the purpose of a "commuter" is to move people and objects around, so also, the commutative property in mathematics has to do with "moving" terms around in different orders. Indeed, the word "commute" comes from the Latin word "commutare," meaning "to exchange" or "to change."
The first definition of its Latin etymology is particularly instructive, since application of the commutative property involves an 'exchange' of the places of the terms. Note that a component of the Latin word 'commutare' is 'mutare,' from which we get the English word "mutate," meaning "to change."

Do your kids like to sip drinks from pouches? If you have a few pouches on hand, you'll have to try this nifty upcycling craft created by Ginger of Gingersnap Crafts.
To make the bows, Ginger cut apart her kids saved drink pouches and washed them with soapy water. She used a couple of shapes specifically for creating bows with her die cut machine to cut the appropriate shapes out of her drink pouches. Ginger attached the two pieces together with brads to make adorable silver bows. She glued each bow onto an alligator clip. "For each clippie you will need two pouches." Ginger notes.

1. Good Government Junta Warns of More Evictions
- On May 2, the Junta in La Realidad denounced that there were going to be more evictions from the few remaining communities in the Montes Azules. In April, the Chiapas delegate from the office of the Federal Environmental Protection Prosecutor's (Profepa, its initials in Spanish) announced that his office is negotiating with the following seven communities:
Salvador Allende, Ranchería Corozal, San Gregorio, Nuevo Limar, Agua Dulce, Ojo de Agua La Pimienta and Nuevo Villaflores. He also announced that the amount of money being offered each family to leave is more that 200,000 pesos (between 16 and 17 thousand dollars).
2. La Garrucha Junta Denounces Detentions and Disappearances
- On May 11, the Good Government Junta in La Garrucha denounced that nine Zapatista support bases were kidnapped and disappeared on the morning of May 10 and five more were detained in Pena Limonar ejido by members of an armed group. The five detainees were turned over to the state police and taken to the municipal jail in Ocosingo. They were released the next day without charges. Apparently, those classified as "disappeared" were folks who had escaped detention and their whereabouts could not be confirmed. All the Zapatista support bases are from Amaytic community.

3. A Major Discovery at Tonina Archaeological Site, Chiapas
- Archaeologists from Mexico's National Institute of History and Anthropology (INAH, its initials in Spanish) announced this month the discovery of a pyramid, larger than the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan, at the Tonina archaeological site, located several miles outside the city of Ocosingo. INAH's site director announced that the newly-discovered pyramid is one of the largest buildings in Mesoamerica, comparable to those in Tikal and El Mirador, Guatemala. The pyramid, located on Tonina's Acropolis, is 75 meters high and is around 1700 years old. In addition to discovering the pyramid, experts have also learned that the Tonina site is much larger than previously thought and now is believed to be one of the largest cities of the ancient Maya in Chiapas, comparable to Palenque and Bonampak. This discovery has major significance for the government's tourism plans in the region surrounding the planned San Cristobal-Palenque superhighway.
4. Chiapas Human Rights Center Issues Annual Report
- On May 27, the Fray Bartolome de las Casas Human Rights Center (Frayba), founded and presided over by Bishop Emeritus of San Cristobal de las Casas, Samuel Ruiz Garcia, issued its annual report on human rights in Chiapas. It concluded that: "it is documented and proven" that the counterinsurgency strategy in Chiapas continues to be applied 16 years after the Zapatista Uprising." The executive summary is available in Spanish at:
In Other Parts of Mexico...
1. Oaxaca: 6 Women and 6 Children from San Juan Copala Kidnapped and Robbed
- On May 15, a group of women left San Juan Copala with their children to go to the Juxtlahuaca market to buy food supplies. They reached the market safely but, while there, one woman and her child were detained by a member of the Ubisort paramilitary group. The two escaped and returned to the group. The women called for an escort back to San Juan Copala, but the government escort took them to a different town and told them to walk the rest of the way. When they walked past La Sabana, the Ubisort paramilitaries detained them. They were held for about 12 hours and then allowed to return to San Juan Copala. The paramilitaries stole their money and the supplies they bought in town.
2. Oaxaca: Triqui Leader and His Wife Murdered
- On May 20, unidentified men murdered Timoteo Alejandro Ramirez, Leader of the Movement of Unification and Triqui Struggle Independent (MULTI), and his wife, Cleriberta Castro, between 5:00 and 5:30 PM at his house, in Yosoyuxi, in the Triqui Region, Oaxaca.
3. Oaxaca: Another Caravan to San Juan Copala leaves June 8
- The Bety Carino and Jyri Jaakkola Civil Humanitarian Caravan will leave for San Juan Copala on June 8 in an attempt to break the paramilitary circle around the autonomous town. Named for the two human rights workers murdered by para-militaries last month, the caravan is recruiting human rights defenders from all over Mexico to make it a very large caravan with a real opportunity to break the circle and deliver food, medical supplies and water to the community in resistance. Many organizations, ranging from the PRD to the Other Campaign, will participate in the caravan.
In the USA...
1. US State Department Issues Mexico Travel Alert
- On May 6, the US State Department issued its travel alert for US citizens that wish to visit or reside in Mexico, due to the grave situation of insecurity and violence associated with drug trafficking. It recommends not visiting the states of Michoacan, Tamaulipas and some parts of Chihuahua, Sinaloa, Durango, Coahuila y Guerrero. The warning concedes that the Mexican government makes an effort to protect US tourists, that drug violence is not prevalent in tourist areas and that millions of US citizens travel to Mexico each year safely.
2. Mexican President Visits Washington, D.C.
- Mexican President Felipe Calderon visited Washington for several days in May. He attended a State dinner at the White House on May 18 and spoke to Congress on May 20. He also met privately with US President, Barack Obama. The results of that meeting are, of course, secret. However, in the days following the meeting President Obama announced that he would send 1200 national guard troops to the US/Mexico Border to help fight crime. It has also been announced that an administrative office for the Merida Initiative in Mexico City is moving full speed ahead and is almost completely functional, thus institutionalizing this deadly military plan and assuring its continued funding for some time.
3. Tens of Thousands Demonstrate Against SB 1070 in Arizona
- On May 29, up to 100,000 people demonstrated against the Arizona Law that criminalizes immigrants seeking work without the government's permission; i.e, without papers.
The main march and rally was in Phoenix, Arizona, but there were also large marches and rallies in other USt cities and in Mexico.

Fernald P. Garland
CHAPMAN - Fernald P. Garland, 93, of E. Chapman, died on Sept. 29, 2013, at home, surrounded by family.
He was predeceased by his wife, Hazel A. (Sloat) Garland, with whom he shared 71 years of marriage and a love that continues through their seven children, Pamela G. Loft of Windham, Wanda R. Garland of Waldoboro, Janice G. Wood of Waldoboro, Fernald Timothy Garland of Bangor, Cheryl A. Crabtree of Argyle, Nita Garland of Gainesville, Fla., and Francine J.G. Stark of Winterport; 15 grandchildren, Brent, Daniel, and Shane Harper, Jonathan, Benjamin, and Jeremiah Loft, Leslie, Laurie, Doug, and Timothy Wood, Adam and Tara Garland, Steven and Barbara Crabtree, and Hazel Z. Stark; 22 great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren.
Born June 29, 1920, in Presque Isle, the son of Ruth E. (Higgins) Garland and Floyd E. Garland, Fernald was predeceased by his brothers, F. Woodford "Woody" Garland and Roland Garland.
A veteran of
World War II
, in which he proudly served in the
U.S. Navy
, Fernald dedicated his life to being a good man, as husband, father, farmer, shepherd, friend, mentor, carpenter, and woodsman. He encouraged many young people through leading 4-H Dairy and Sheep Clubs in the 1950s and 60s. He was a lifelong member of the Grant Memorial United Methodist Church. Hazel and Fernald were members and leaders of the Spud Shufflers Square Dance Club and danced together beautifully for 30 years. He loved to tell stories; especially those that would make people laugh. Fernald was a mighty man with many skills. He could build a tractor from scrap parts, drop a tree in the woods exactly where he wanted it to fall, and create a finely crafted piece of art from wood. Fernald and Hazel together planted over three million trees in Aroostook County. In their many trips on the Allagash Waterway, Hazel and Fernald were unbeatable in their 21 foot White Canoe. As their children struggled to keep up, with Hazel paddling in the bow and Fernald's efficient paddle strokes and navigation from the stern, they would glide across the big lakes, filled with joy and appreciation for the woods, water, and wildlife and the opportunity each day to live and love. Fernald's memories of those trips on the Allagash were the treasured images that sustained him through the last years of his life.

College Hockey:UND Defeats Denver in Grudge Match
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — In a game of WCHA rivals that was a rematch of last season's NCAA championship, North Dakota extracted a measure of revenge with a three-goal first period to down visiting Denver University 3-1 before 11,045 fans at Ralph Engelstad Arena.
The game was expected to be emotional and physical, not only because of the way Denver has ended UND's season in the playoffs the past two years, but also because it was the Pioneers' first visit to Grand Forks since the WCHA Final Five game in which forward Geoff Paukovich broke the neck of Sioux player Robbie Bina with an illegal check from behind.
"North Dakota's notorious for being a hostile place to play," Paukovich said. "With my situation and the history we've had with them the last two years in big games, there was going to be a lot of emotion in this building tonight either way.
"I knew that they were going to be hostile and I knew they were going to be loud, but the fact of the matter is, we lost to a better team in the first period tonight," he said.
Some of the emotion was tempered when, just two minutes into the game with Denver on the power play, Sioux defenseman Matt Smaby delivered thundering check to Pioneers freshman forward Brock Trotter behind the UND goal. Trotter got to his feet, but then collapsed at the side of the net. UND goalie Jordan Parise immediately signaled for help.
Trotter was tended to on the ice for several minutes by medical personnel, then wheeled out of the rink on a stretcher. He didn't return to the game. It was a sobering reminder of the hit on Bina that will cause him to miss this season as he heals from his neck injury.
"Everybody realized that it's just another game and that we're not out to kill anybody," Parise said. "I think that really took a lot of the emotion out."
Denver coach George Gwozdecky said the team's trainer told him that Trotter suffered a four-inch cut right above the boot of his skate. He didn't believe the injury was serious or season-threatening, but on a team that started the series with two forwards out with injuries, it will be a significant loss for the second game of the series.
Just over halfway through the second period, Denver also lost star center Paul Stastny for the game when he was called for checking from behind and given a game misconduct. The loss of Trotter and Stastny, two key members of Denver's power play unit, would prove costly in the third period.
"The first period was the story of the game," said Denver freshman defenseman Chris Butler, who scored the lone Pioneer goal. "They came out with twice the energy and the jump that we did. When you play on the road in your first game in the WCHA, there's no excuse for that."
UND's first goal came at 9:35 of the first period. Forward Chris Porter outworked the Denver's defense behind the goal, stepped out front and fired a sharp-angle shot that Pioneer goalie Glenn Fisher couldn't control. The puck rebounded straight up the slot where Sioux defenseman Kyle Radke found it and fired it in.
At 12:22 with the teams skating four-on-four, Sioux forward Drew Stafford passed to center Travis Zajac from behind the net. Zajac fired in his first goal of the season from the left circle to put UND up 2-0.
Still in the first period, UND went on the power play for a Denver too many men on the ice penalty. At 16:33, freshman forward Jonathan Toews skated from behind the net and fired a wrister from the bottom of the right circle that beat Fisher short side, giving the Sioux a 3-0 lead.
"We just wanted to come out of the dressing room ready to play, and I thought we did that" said UND coach Dave Hakstol. "I give credit to the team leaders. They had the team ready to play."
Gwozdecky also noticed.
"I thought the Sioux played extremely well that first period," he said. "The emotional, intense onslaught that we saw the first period was a little too much for us."
Outplaying the Sioux for much of the second period, the Pioneers finally solved Parise at 14:28. On a 3-on-2 rush, Paukovich left a drop pass in the left circle the for Butler, the trailing defenseman.
"I came late, Geoff dropped the puck to me and I had a couple of guys in front of the net," Butler said. "I just tried to get it through, and it ended up going in."
Trailing by two goals with time running out in the third period, Denver couldn't capitalize on power-play opportunities after UND took back-to-back penalties. Gwozdecky said that not having Trotter and Stastny hurt his team during a key part of the game.
"We earned some opportunities to get back into the game, and we couldn't take advantage of it on the power play," he said. "It's those little opportunities or those advantages that you have to jump all over if you're going to try to change the tide of the game."
"It is really nice to get a win. It's been almost two years now," Parise said, referring to the fact that until this game, the Sioux had been 0-5-1 against the Pioneers since early 2004.
The Pioneers outshot the Sioux 28-25 and were 0-10 on the power play while the Sioux were 1-5. Fisher had 22 saves for the game, and Parise had 27.
The two teams meet for the second game of the series 7 p.m. Saturday at Ralph Engelstad Arena.

What are the symptoms?
Drooling and gagging are the most noted symptoms. Dogs are usually not really gagging, but rather manipulating their tongues in an attempt to remove the object. A foul breath odor will develop, if the objects remain lodged. Many of these dogs will not eat, while others go on as if nothing is wrong. Some dogs will paw at their faces or rub their faces on the ground.
What are the risks?
If the objects are not promptly removed, they may cause infections of the gums and other structures. Many patients fail to eat and lose weight.
What is the management?
Treatment involves identifying and removing the object. Once removed, healing is usually rapid. If a mouth infection has developed, antibiotics will be required to clear the bacteria.

Thousands of 'Spartans' brave grueling obstacles, aide numerous charities
Scott G Winterton, Deseret News
MIDWAY — Thousands of "Spartans" brave enough to crawl under 300 feet of barbed wire and conquer 28 other grueling obstacles Saturday not only won bragging rights, but also consequently participated in multiple humanitarian causes.
The Reebok Spartan Race series came to Utah for the third time to host another globally recognized obstacle race at Soldier Hollow in Midway: the Utah Spartan Beast. Collectively promoting human health, additional agencies joined the event with their own altruistic missions, including efforts to battle cancer and to provide developing nations with affordable clothing.
"We like to knock people down so they can pick themselves back up," said Joe De Sena, co-founder of Reebok Spartan Race. "We want to impose obstacles that are scary and make people uncomfortable, because it makes everything else in life easier."
After rinsing themselves of mud and sweat at the finish line, some drained-yet-exhilarated competitors noticed a pile of used shoes sitting next to a charity stand named Dunk Your Kicks. Some would glance at their own muddy shoes, and decide to slip them off to join the pile before walking away barefoot.
Buddy Sanchez, the Max Care Foundation representative who oversaw the Dunk Your Kicks station, said he expected to collect a couple thousand muddy sneakers by the end of the event.
Instead of being "buried alive" in landfills with perhaps "a couple hundred miles left on them," the sneakers will be refurbished by an international recycling company and sold to developing nations at an affordable cost, said David Plotkin, chairman and co-founder of the Max Cure Foundation.
"You get a warm, fuzzy feeling from doing something nice, so to these people that finish this race, congratulations to them. Then on top of that, they get to do something to help somebody else," Sanchez said. "It's wonderful."
Scott Eischstead, a runner from Lehi, nonchalantly left his white and red pair of shoes in the charity's pile, despite the fact they appeared to still be in glowing condition after being rinsed of the mud.
"I figured, 'Why not?'" Eischstead said. "Somebody else can use them more that me, and I can just buy some new ones, so it's no big deal. They're nice shoes. Somebody will enjoy them."
For each pound of sneakers collected, the Max Cure Foundation will receive $1 from the recycling company for its mission to fund pediatric cancer research and to aid local low-income families with a child battling cancer, Plotkin said. An average pair of sneakers typically weighs 1.5 pounds.
"What I love to say is, 'Your pair of sneakers could be the pair that actually saves and changes lives,'" he said.
Plotkin co-founded the Max Care Foundation when his own son, Max, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer at 4 years old. Now 10 years old, Max is a cancer survivor.
"My focus is pediatric cancer and making a difference in this fight, but the fact that so many other amazing things come from Dunk Your Kicks just makes it that much more of an amazing fundraising campaign," he said.
Reebok Spartan Race also teamed up with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team In Training by creating an online training program to prepare competitors for the race, according to De Sana. As they trained, the participants also raised funds to support cancer research.
"We involve different programs around the world based on what people are motivated by and excited about, and so if it's something that excites folks here, we get excited about it too," he said "We just want to help."

Contract construction workers attach a solar panel to a stand at the Lancaster Boulevard solar farm near Wolfe Avenue. Three solar farms are being constructed around base including one at the Air Force Research Laboratory Detachment 7. Each of the solar farms is expected to provide one megawatt of electricity to the base, and officials hope the extra supplement of power will save the base money. The solar farms are expected to be completed around the end of the year. (U.S. Air Force photo/Dawn Waldman)
A worker welds a connection to a stand that will hold solar panels for one of the three solar farms being constructed around Edwards. One solar farm is located near Wolfe Avenue and Lancaster Boulevard, one is just off Rosamond Boulevard near the north gate and one is at the Air Force Research Laboratory Detachment 7. The locations were chosen because of the electricity substations located at each site. Once completed, the lines from the solar panels will be connected to Edwards' power grid.

New solar farms could light the way to power bill savings at Edwards
by Kenji Thuloweit
95th Air Base Wing Public Affairs
10/12/2011 -
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif.
-- With today's fiscal climate, Edwards Air Force Base is always looking for good ways to save money.
One area where Edwards is looking to save is energy costs.
After three years of planning and coordination with Southern California Edison, the California Public Utilities Commission and environmental agencies, workers are now building solar farms on base.
In an agreement with Borrego Solar, a company headquartered in El Cajon, Calif., the base is constructing three solar farms that could potentially save the flight test center hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"This project was brought to the base through a federal program named Power Purchase Agreement," said Yusuf Ahmed, 95th Civil Engineering electrical engineer. "There is a third party that is chosen to build a renewable energy source on the base and they are the ones who fund all the installation. The agreement is we purchase the power from them."
Edwards will buy the electricity from Borrego, which is building the plants.
"Our utility bills for the summer actually double, but our consumption only goes up three percent," said James Judkins, 95th CE director. "What we're trying to do (with this project) is not so much conserve energy, but save money."
"We're going to build these solar plants on our side of the meter. When the sun is up, and the plants are generating power and feeding it to us, we won't have to pay Southern California Edison some of the high-demand charges from June through September," Judkins said.
One solar farm is located near Wolfe Avenue and Lancaster Boulevard, one is just off Rosamond Boulevard near the north gate and one is at the Air Force Research Laboratory Detachment 7.
The locations were chosen because of the electricity substations located at each site. Once completed, the lines from the solar panels will be connected to Edwards' power grid.
Ahmed said the base power requirement is 30 megawatts at its peak, and the three solar farms will provide one megawatt each to the grid.
The 95th Air Base Wing worked closely with the 412th Test Wing and Air Force Flight Test Center to ensure the project does not interfere with the test mission.
Judkins said another cost-saving initiative underway is an enhanced-lease agreement where Edwards will lease a portion of land to a company that will build more solar units. The money from the lease would be reinvested into the base infrastructure and into other energy-saving programs, he said.
If funding is approved another project will be solar parking, where panels will be installed on the roofs to generate electricity, he said.
"Our utility bill can range anywhere from $15 million to $18 million a year and you have to pay that bill. If you don't have the electricity, the planes don't fly."
The current solar farm construction is expected to be completed around the end of the year.
With October being Energy Awareness Month, 95th CE will be setting up displays in certain buildings throughout the month to create awareness about saving energy.
Displays are currently set up in Bldg. 2750 and will later be set up at the Base Exchange as well as Bldg. 3000.

Rule Maker
A Rule Maker is a company, often a blue chip, that is the dominant company in its sector.
Expanded Definition
Rule Maker is a Foolish term that refers to companies that dictate how business is done in their sector. This can be accomplished through powerful brands ( like Coca-Cola ), patents, efficient operations, market share or sheer size (such as Microsoft ). As a result most of their competitors typically attempt to imitate their business model and are much smaller in size. Rule makers were often Rule Breakers in the past. As a result these companies tend to be mature large cap companies that pay dividends, although many can still be considered growth stocks.
Rule Maker investing is best suited to investors who prefer to trade infrequently, prefer less risk and try to have an indefinite holding period, ideally as long as possible. A Rule Maker investor has to be wary of ascendant aspiring rule breakers which could disrupt the rule maker's dominance.
Rule Maker Criteria
For a stock to be considered a Rule Maker, it must meet these ten criteria
- Have at least one sustainable competitive advantage
- Be dominant in its industry.
- Have an established history of dominance, ten years or more
- Have a strong Free Cash Flow, Cash King Margin above 10%
- Be efficient at managing capital, Foolish flow ratio below 1.25
- Sales must be above 4 billion per annum and revenues must grow 10% or better per year
- Have Top Notch Management
- Have a high Return on Invested Capital, above 11%
- Have a strong balance sheet, usually with cash in excess of 1.5 times total debt
- Stock Price must be trading a discount to intrinsic value

Popular addictive mobile game "Flappy Bird" is no longer available for download. The app's creator had the game taken down from Apple iTunes (iOS) and Google Play (Android) on Sunday (Feb. 9). "Flappy Bird" is the cause of frustration among many users and apparently no picnic for the game creator either.
As Kotaku reports, Vietnamese game creator, Dong Nguyen took to social media to announce his intentions to remove the "Flappy Bird" app from Google Play and iTunes. "I cannot take this anymore," Nguyen tweeted Saturday. The free to download indie colossal hit game was raking in a reported $50,000 daily in ad revenue. Nguyen longs for more peaceful days and claims the success of the game is overrated by the media. "I can call 'Flappy Bird' is a success of mine. But it also ruins my simple life. So now I hate it," Nguyen said.
Nguyen insists that the decision behind pulling the app has nothing to do with legal issues. He's likely referring to recent criticism of "Flappy Bird's" obvious resemblance to an existing app called "Piou Piou". According to Pocket Gamer, the creator of "Piou Piou" isn't pursuing legal action although he admits that "Flappy Bird" is noticeably similar. "The games are very similar. And even if I did not invent the gameplay concept, the graphics are very close, and, of course, the concept," French developer, Kek told Pocket Gamer.
The object of the game is to keep a clumsy little bird in flight by repeatedly tapping your screen. Navigate safely between the obstacle of green pipes and your score goes up. It's "Game Over" for you if the bird crashes into a pipe. "Flappy Bird" made its debut in the gaming app market in May 2013 and broke into mainstream popularity recently with over 10 million downloads to date, in Android alone.

War is a compelling force to bring to the movie screen. It often uses a component of historical subject matter that translates past experiences into the present. The idea is to have themes of morality and inner self-conflict surface to an audience and propel deep-seeded discussion. Circumstances in a war film can be related to a specific battle or psychological factors correlating behind the scenes of the front lines. Production technology and cinema direction allows a way for gruesome, heartbreaking and tension-filled scenes to emerge. An audience is always drawn into a storyline when the characterization is portrayed in a vivid and relatable level. The characters represent pieces and words of humanity that draw out our fears and expectations whenever a tale of physical and societal danger emerges.
War can be outlined as a tragedy to the damage of human life just as it can elevate the human spirit composed as a strategy. History is enveloped with several different opinions and attitudes in regards to one specific event or many events mirroring that time period. The movie, streamlined with many fragments of action and suspense, allows a chance for a local audience as well as a wider audience to become familiar with what was taking place. War is also a subject for personal debate amongst the viewers. This particular moment is how people define and relay their value system, whether or not it is in favor of the details proceeding. Details in play stir the imagination as to the deepest fears and wishes people seek for themselves and the nation they are a part of. At the same time, a war-related timeline is an excellent feature to display as a backdrop in the midst of personal evolution in film comprised characters.
Gallipoli, released in 1981 to a predominantly Australian audience, is an example of how many layers of script-writing brought experiences of human nature and war in a memorable formula. Gallipoli was an important film in showing the roots of national pride. As a result, it became successful in the local arena but also recognition in a worldwide setting.
Gallipoli is the product of a small but dedicated cast. The budget, ranging just under three million, was the highest in Australia at that time. Majority of film scenes were featured in several parts of that country, but scenes of the story in Egypt were filmed directly in that area. The lead character is played by an actor named Mark Lee, who is a relatively unknown star outside his native country of Australia. His prior participation is spotty but noticeable in the 1969 film, Strange Holiday, an adaption of the Jules Verne penned novel of the same name. In 1987, he was in a television movie called Vietnam, and that was noted for being one of the first screen appearances by actress Nicole Kidman. The second lead in the film was actor Mel Gibson, who was on his seventh official film appearance. Prior to this movie, Gibson was recognized for the first and second Mad Max pictures. The director of Gallipoli was Peter Weir, and he was entering his seventh directorial release. This movie cemented a lifelong bond between Weir and Gibson and resulted in another collaboration just one year later: The Year of Living Dangerously. Weir would go on to direct several other famous films that were hits in American cinema: Witness (1985), Dead Poets Society (1989), Green Card (1990), The Truman Show (1998) along with Master and Commander (2003).
Gallipoli features a pivotal battle during the World War I era that holds significance not only for Australia but also New Zealand. The location of the city is a part of Turkey and they were considered allies of Germany at the time of the war. The conclusion was a heavy defeat of casualties on the allied side. The response was important for the formation of Turkey as the Ottoman Empire at the time was falling. Australia and New Zealand look back on this event as a form of national pride as they were able to participate with troops in the fight just as they were becoming recognized dominions of independence. The entire attack was orchestrated by the British. Weir was fascinated by the events and wanted to make a lasting tribute to what was a rarely recognized event by most Western nations.
Gallipoli takes place in the spring of 1915. The film opens with the location of Western Australia. Archy Hamilton (played with charm and passion by Lee) enters the first scene as a training runner. His uncle is his teacher and he insists he can handle many races due to speed equivalent of a leopard. Archy is eighteen and a stockman who is also driven to contribute in the armed forces as knowledge of the war activities breaks out. The uncle would prefer his nephew stay in town and pursue his talents.
Attention of the film next turns to an unemployed railroad operator named Frank Dunne (portrayed with energy, humor and realism by Gibson). Frank has run out of the money he has been living on and decides to participate in an athletics-related carnival contest due to his skills and interest in running. Here is the setting in which Archy and Frank come into contact for the first time. They race and Archy wins the prize due to his gifted speed and hyper-alert reflexes. Frank is annoyed at losing his opportunity and afterwards is cold to the friendly greeting by Archy.
Archy is being driven by two goals: to emulate the ability of a previous running champion in the country and have military experience. Frank shares a similar perspective with a love and dream for adventure. He greets his would-be rival the next day in a local café and apologizes for his impolite treatment. Archy is at first reserved but receptive to the gestures. Frank proposes the suggestion of traveling to the distant city of Perth to enlist to fight. Archy is excited and agrees to accompany him on the journey. In an abrupt but emotional scene, the young runner goes to his uncle and hands over the prize money with the grim news that he is leaving home. The uncle is disappointed and unnerved, but is understanding and accepting to these turn of events.
The film starts to take on its first format of action as the two men sneak aboard a train headed directly for Perth. As the time unfolds, Archy and Frank form a light-hearted but authentic friendship based on respect and admiration of the other. Lee and Gibson demonstrate a sense of camaraderie and chemistry as they laugh together and share personal stories. Upon arrival in the city, the Irish immigrant father of Frank greets the boys and lets them stay with him. Because of his heritage, Frank is resistant to the idea of joining the armed forces because he does not want to be helping out the British side. Archy is persistent and persuasive about encouraging his friend to consider more reasons and opportunity that a military uniform brings. Frank decides the call is too great and enters side-by-side with his friend. However, Archy is more prepared to tackle horse-back riding and as a result the two friends are separated and put into different units. As a result, Frank reunites with three former workers at the railroad: Bill, Barney and Snowy.
Gallipoli reaches a high point of cinema quality as each unit heads out for Cairo, Egypt. In several lush and awe-inspiring sequences, the troops become acquainted with the local territory of shops, brothels as the Sphinx looms in the background of many moments. Director Weir allows the activities to unfold with ease and substance with the electronic moog music of French composer Jean Michel Jarre. 'Adagio in G Minor,' by Baroque composer Tomaso Albinoni, repeats in the moments and camera shots of slow pacing.
The troops are enrolled in rigorous training along the desert landscape. Their commanders order them to take part in exercises that require hand-to-hand combat as well as gun usage. It is at this moment that Archy and Frank each notice a familiar face in each other. They rush into each other's arms in an overwhelmed embrace of appreciation as they realize the previous circumstances did not keep them away from permanent contact. Afterward, the two approach their leaders and ask for a chance to serve together. Citing their quick-paced skills as runners, Frank and Archy are seeking to participate in an infantry division known as the Light Horse. The bosses are skeptical at first but relent when they hear the reasoning and enthusiasm of their officers. The boys are overjoyed at the prospect of going directly to Gallipoli to fight. Each sees this as a chance to define, test and utilize courage in their lives. The stark difference is that Archy is devoted to the fight for the sake of Australia and ultimately Allied pride against Germany while Frank is seeking a bonding connection with a potential to remain devoid of personal danger. Before leaving, the two runners engage in a rematch of the carnival race by dashing towards the Pyramids. In the aftermath of assignment shift changes, the three ex-railway employees and friends of Frank condemn and disown their friend for abandoning their unit. He is shocked and hurt but shrugs it off.
Gallipoli nears the latter half of the storyline as the combination of Australian and New Zealand troops arrive on the same island of Gallipoli in a place called Anzac Cove. In one of the most chilling and ominous scenes of the movie, Archy and Frank are huddled close together on a boat and watch the lights of warfare unfold in the dark upon the territory. Archy smiles with a glimpse of pride and satisfaction while Frank sits silent with a hint of a somber expression. The three friends of Frank take part in a battle known as the Battle of Lone Pine and the consequences are that Barney is killed and Snowy is seriously injured. Frank has a sad but tense conversation with Bill about all that happened. Frank can already see that what transpires from war is harsh and complicated. He recognizes his relationship to others and himself will never be quite the same again.
The next armed mission to take place is at a small place of the Anzac known as Nek. Here is where the British are already engaged in taking on Turkish forces. Major Barton, the leader of the outfit, recommends that the infamous Archy become the runner to deliver messages between the trenches and the commanders, which will avoid him facing front-line combat. Archy is moved and flattered by the prospect, but his heart is calling him to be in the midst of the conflict as well as remain loyal to his friend. Instead, Archy recommends that Frank be given the role because of his fast speed. Frank is caught off guard in shock, but is appreciative of the opportunity and takes it on with focus. This moment demonstrates how the importance of sprint skills, a personal link between the two men, foreshadows how their choices define their outcomes.
Gallipoli inches into its climax with pulsating action and suspense. Turkish gunmen are positioned in their own trench directly across from where the Light Horse is working. Two waves of Allied forces advance to take on their adversaries and are killed within seconds of exiting their area. One partial culprit besides the strength of the enemy was all the watches of the Light Horse team being incorrectly set from the present time of where they actually are. Major Barton is alarmed and discouraged but his superior, Colonel Robinson, insists that the troops fight the mission until they can fight no more. The Colonel believes some elements of the surrounding Allied forces have been successful in making strides against the Turkish side. The Major is skeptical and considering holding off the next attack. After the communication line is cut from battle interference, Frank is selected to bring a message to the brigade headquarters. This sets the stage for the ultimate conclusion of the mission and the film.
Frank and the Colonel engage in a heated discussion when the runner arrives. The younger officer insists the crew is outmatched and outnumbered. The boss determines that pushing ahead will propel the tide to victory in favor of the British. Desperate to protect Archy as well as the rest of the comrades, Frank rushes over to the nearby location of General Gardner in an effort to overrule Colonel Robinson. The General is disturbed by the shocking turn of events and concludes it is best to rethink the next move. Elated, Frank dashes out of the region and heads back prepared with a true reprieve.
Meanwhile, Major Barton is stunned to find the communication line repaired and an angry Colonel Robinson facing him on the other side. Robinson insists his point man not falter and forge ahead with a new wave of attack. Barton is devastated knowing that imminent death is sure to follow for his men. As a consequence, he decides to not only order the attack but join the men firsthand. Weir creates an almost split-screen effect as one focus is on an incensed Frank running back to the trench while a terrified and somber Archy prepares to accept the fate of his life. Frank nearly makes it in time as he approaches his destination. Archy vows to utilize his leopard speed at the moment where it is most needed.
The fight begins and the gunfire follows. One by one the men go down by enemy bullets. Frank can hear the noise and is convinced he is still not too late to protect Archy and pushes himself even harder. Archy is out on the middle of the field and sprints ahead as he drops his weapon. He is aiming to just survive and cuts away from all who are around him. Suddenly, fast bullets enter and strike Archy in the back. Gallipoli ends in a frozen, silent screen shot as a fatally wounded Archy Hamilton grimaces toward the sky.
When released, Gallipoli was considered a major hit with the Australian audience. Viewers resonated with the stark storytelling and bleak content of a grueling battle that has significance for many countries. In the American market, Gallipoli achieved only a moderate success, but managed to unearth a Best Foreign Film nomination for the Golden Globes. However, the film industry in Australia generated notice and promise for the future following this movie. Mel Gibson, already gaining a respectful foothold with Mad Max and its successor, managed to gain international recognition for his portrayal of a conflicted but independent-minded young soldier. Mark Lee evoked sympathy and interest for a role of one ambitious to see war but unprepared for the dangerous risks it entails. Peter Weir guided a fast-paced picture led by vivid scenery. Gallipoli poses a challenge for modern audiences to witness a politically-charged film devoid of any direct political motivation.

All pastas are not created equal. bionaturae organic pastas from Italy are made with the artisanal techniques of long ago. The difference between a traditionally made pasta like bionaturae and an industrially made pasta is easy to detect. The pale color and porous surface of our pasta is different because we extrude the shapes through traditional bronze dies instead of Teflon dies and dry our pasta slowly at low temperatures. This process is slower and more costly, but the difference in quality is worth it. bionaturae pasta is made by a third generation of a family of pasta makers. We offer semolina, whole wheat, egg noodles and gluten free pastas. Take time out of your day to sit down and enjoy a delicious dinner made from bionaturae organic pastas from Italy. For best results use bionaturae organic canned tomatoes from Italy for your sauce.

Isn't it "real"?
Feb 12, 2010
By D. Dolan "GabbyDi"
This is one of the very few Gluten Free pastas that is so close to havng all the properties of "real" pasta that it's worth the extra expense. Most gf pastas can't be reheated without falling apart into a gluey mess. One that can be made into Mac/Cheese and not be a solid mass. At our house we even have been able to enjoy cold pasta salads again (though it needs to be eaten in a day or two). Have served this to non celiacs who have asked if it wasn't "real" and are amazed that it's not traditional wheat pastas. The texture is delicate but firm enough to hold it's shape. The taste is slightly different than traditional but with sauce (even a light one)you'd never know. Leave it to the Italians...they know their pasta...gf or not!

Awesome for gluten-free eaters!!!!!!
Jan 06, 2010
By C. Bonfiglio "emmasmom"
My daughter is gluten and dairy free, and we have tried EVERY pasta brand out there. Since I like to cook a lot at once and use the rest for left-overs, the other gluten free (brown rice and potato only brands) did not do well when re-heated, and also had a "different" consistency --according to my daughter. This brand is incredible, perfect texture, cooks easily, and my husband (who is a Sicilian) will even eat it , and once mistook it for his favorite brand! Bionature has achieved the perfect pasta for picky gluten-free eaters. If you are celiac, or gluten-sensitive, you MUST try it.

good tasting GF pasta
Oct 07, 2009
By iblum
This pasta tastes good. It's a little different because it has potato in it. The nice thing you don't have to rinse. I noticed that it's very important to follow cooking time like on directions, so that it doesn't get too soft. On the package it gives you an exact cooking time, and it's best to follow it minute by minute.

By far the best GFree pasta out there
Jun 08, 2012
By KatieG
I served this pasta to several non-Celiac friends and NO ONE had any idea they were eating gluten free pasta. The texture holds up even in a cold, dressed pasta salad and doesn't collapse if you stir it too much like some other brands... By far my favorite GFree pasta brand, far exceeds any others

Delicious! Perfect in Macaroni & Cheese! Stays Firm!
Jun 10, 2013
By Paige Turner "Film Fanatic"
I've tried many brands and types of gluten-free pasta. This is the only one that tastes like wheat/semolina pasta. And it holds up--no more mushy noodles or gritty pastas! If you taste the pasta plain, you can tell it has a slightly different taste from regular pasta. But once you put sauce on it, you can't tell at all. It is perfect for casseroles and macaroni & cheese. I cooked it for the specified time, then mixed it into my mac & cheese sauce, baked it, and it came out perfect! And when reheated the next day, it tasted great and did not turn mushy. Same for regular casseroles. I highly recommend this pasta. For me, it's a godsend.
