In documents marked "Confidential and Proprietary," Frito-Lay admits that olestra caused "anal
oil leakage" in a study commissioned by the company. Olestra is the controversial non-caloric fat
substitute marketed by Procter & Gamble.
Contact: Penelope Miller 202/332-9110, ext. 358
Last April, Frito-Lay became the first company to market olestra-containing chips. It sold a line of "Max" potato chips and corn chips in three test markets. It is expected to begin a new test market in Indianapolis in several days.
The Frito-Lay report states: "The anal oil leakage symptoms were observed in this study (3 to 9% incidence range above background), as well as other changes in elimination. . . . Underwear spotting was statistically significant in one of two low level consumer groups at a 5% incidence above background." Despite those problems, the authors of the report concluded that olestra-containing snacks "should have a high potential for acceptance in the marketplace."
The Frito-Lay documents were obtained by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), a nonprofit organization that has opposed the approval and use of olestra.
In addition to the "elimination changes," Frito-Lay reported that people who consume 12 ounces or more of olestra chips a week "may experience a greater variety of gastrointestinal changes (up to a 7% incidence)." Twelve ounces is equivalent to six average 2-ounce servings of chips, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data. Those higher-level consumers experienced diarrhea, cramps, loose stools, nausea, underwear spotting, and other symptoms. All of those symptoms have been reported by numerous consumers in the four test markets for Frito-Lay's and Procter & Gamble's olestra snacks. People who ate less olestra experienced certain symptoms, but at lower rates.
A confidential Frito-Lay memo dated August 4, 1995, expressed concern that people would be particularly aware of digestive problems the first few times they ate olestra snacks. "There is a potential for this phenomena to affect general product acceptance." An August 12,
1995, confidential memo reported that the company had developed a "risk management plan. . . . to manage public perception of [olestra-]related digestion issues, and to effectively handle any real issues that might emerge through the [olestra] market introduction."
The Frito-Lay report is significant because Procter & Gamble has argued strenuously that the additive does not cause "anal leakage." The Food and Drug Administration agreed even though CSPI had provided statistical analyses indicating that anal leakage occurred in Procter & Gamble's own controlled studies.
In a letter to CSPI executive director Michael F. Jacobson earlier this year, Frito-Lay vice president Philip J. Pifer said that his company had not submitted the results of its study to the FDA because major shortcomings in it "made it impossible to reach any valid conclusions or judgments." Pifer refused to provide CSPI with any details about the research, including additional data. The Frito-Lay report does not acknowledge that the study had any shortcomings. Jacobson wrote yesterday to FDA commissioner David Kessler that, "We suspect that if the shortcomings were so serious the company would not have devoted more than a year to preparing a report and would have described the shortcomings in the report."
The Frito-Lay study was conducted in 1993 and the report written in August 1995, three months before the FDA's Food Advisory Committee debated olestra's safety. In the report, olestra was called by the code name "Broadway Oil," or BWO. The study involved 306 subjects who ate olestra chips for four weeks and conventional chips for four weeks.
CSPI urged the FDA to obtain full information about Frito-Lay's research and decide for itself whether the data shed new light on olestra's gastrointestinal effects. Jacobson said that Procter & Gamble may have violated FDA regulations by not providing the FDA with Frito-Lay's study when the agency was considering approving olestra. Jacobson added, "It's important that the FDA examine the original data, because we've been told that Frito-Lay may have used only selected data to hide the extent of gastrointestinal problems."
Aside from problems like diarrhea, olestra inhibits the body's absorption of carotenoids, such as lycopene and alpha-carotene, which appear to protect against heart disease, cancer, and macular degeneration (the major cause of blindness in the elderly). Academic experts who have opposed olestra because of that problem include Walter Willett and Meir Stampfer of the Harvard School of Public Health; Mark Hegsted, the former chief of human nutrition at the U.S. Department of Agriculture; and Johanna Seddon, co-author of a paper linking low carotenoids to macular degeneration.

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested.

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Kyle Richards may have opened a clothing store on the show because she was inspired by a clothing store she saw when she was on a trip. She opened "Kyle by Alene Too" in Beverly Hills on the previous season of the show and she has held several events at the store. And now, according to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on Jan. 15, "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Kyle Richards has revealed that she is launching her own clothing line.
The line is called Kyle by Kyle Richards and one can imagine it will include some loosely-fitted tops and some maxi dresses, since this is what Kyle often wears on the show. She hasn't revealed much about what it looks like, but one can imagine she will sell it in her store.
"You will [see my clothing line], eventually..." Kyle teases. "In this season, no, but in the upcoming season you will, because this comes out in February, and our show is wrapping around then." Apparently, she knows that the show is returning, but she has no other comments as to when they will be filming. "I'm not allowed to say — they won't let me," Kyle demurs. "I actually don't even know that right now, but once they tell me, I'm not allowed to say. We [usually] shoot over spring and summer."
Are you excited to see the clothing line?

Increase in attacks on guide dogs
There's been an increase in the number of guide dogs being attacked by other dogs here in the West. In the last year there have been 29 guide dog attacks in our region and in four cases the owner was also injured.
The charity, Guide Dogs, says every month they're having to treat and retrain dogs that have been injured while they're working.
Tillie Trotter from Uffculme near Cullompton in Devon, came into the studio with her new dog to tell us about an attack on her German Shepherd. Gwyn could not work again after she was attacked by a Staffordshire bull terrier cross.
Guide Dog charity plea to stop pavement parking
The charity Guide Dogs is calling for tougher action on motorists who park on pavements. It says towns and city centres in the region are increasingly becoming no-go areas for blind and partially sighted people.
A survey it carried out showed that 45 per cent of drivers in the south west were unaware of the hazards of pavement parking.

Seniors at Toledo Early College High School (TECHS), a KnowledgeWorks early college high school, are giving back to the community during their last year in high school. Fifty-five seniors at TECHS have pledged to donate 2,1013 hours of community service time. This equates to more than 36 hours per student, which is more than TECHS requires from its students.
Monika Perry, who is a senior at TECHS, is excited about the opportunity. "Everyone at TECHS knows what it is to accomplish academic goals," she said. "This project is about harnessing that drive and applying it to taking an active role in the community, into making Toledo a better place to live."
The types of volunteer projects are taking part in include working at a community garden, donating time to fundraising events and volunteering at locations like libraries, schools, food banks and nursing homes.
We're excited to see the community involvement occurring at TECHS. Interacting with community members and volunteering will give students exposure to career opportunities, a chance to network and a way to give back.

Disney's "Maleficent" took in an estimated $70 million this past weekend as it opened nationwide. With the success of other such films and a new craze to see classic fairy tales from other points of view, Disney tackles their own classic "Sleeping Beauty" as audiences see what "really" happened.
Robert Stromberg, best known for his visual effects work on movies such as "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End", "The Hunger Games", and "Life of Pi", makes his directorial debut. His mastery of visual effects seeps into the creation and execution of this movie. Linda Woolverton wrote the screenplay for this movie and is best known for "The Lion King" and "Alice in Wonderland" (2010). The interesting mix of both classic and modern storytelling for Woolverton shines in this reimagined new movie. She is able create the same feelings that a classic animated fairy tale gives yet presents it in a darker, live action setting. Together Woolverton and Stromberg created a modern classic fairy tale a bit dark, edgy yet still with the same "happily ever after" feeling.
(SPOILER ALERT: Discussion of plot, possible spoilers below)
Angelia Jolie stars as Maleficent, the evil, mischievous villain from "Sleeping Beauty". Jolie has her work cut out for her taking on such an iconic villain, yet all elements of this movie come together to allow her to create a completely new character unlike any audiences have seen. With a classic story, audiences already have an idea what they should expect yet the real success of such a movie as this are the surprises and twists.
The story starts in typical fairy tale fashion a story of two neighboring territories, one human with a beautiful castle and the other The Moors, which has inhabitants of all kinds of fantastical creatures and beings. Maleficent (Jolie) is the most powerful of the faeries and one day meets a young boy, Stefan, who has stolen something. She convinces him to return what he has stolen and the two become fast friends and a bit "more". Stefan grows up and gives himself to his human desires such as greed and success and the pair drifts apart.
As she ages, Maleficent becomes a protector of The Moors to keep the neighboring human territory at bay. Stefan works in the castle near the King and when the King is defeated in battle by Maleficent, he calls for her death. Stefan, using his previous relationship with her, tricks her into trusting him. He drugs her and despite not being able to kill her, he takes her wings. Maleficent is heartbroken and becomes what audiences have seen in the classic tale, yet that was just where it all began.
Stefan (Sharlto Copley) goes on to become King and when he and his queen are presenting their first born, Maleficent takes her chance to get her revenge. Despite three fairies there to offer blessing on the child, the hate that Maleficent feels for her betrayal cannot be subdued. She curses the child that on her 16th birthday she will prick her finger on a spindle wheel and go into a deathlike sleep for the rest of her life.
The King fearful of the curse decides to destroy all spindle wheels and hide her away until the day after her 16th birthday. Maleficent originally despises Aurora (Elle Fanning), or "beastie", as she often refers to her yet as the two begin to interact, she begins to regret her curse on the child. As Maleficent and Aurora grow to know and understand one another, the heart of the movie truly gets revealed. Despite the hate and "evil" character that Jolie portrays, the tenderness, even in harsh moments, is what gives the audience a warm feeling. Fanning and Jolie complement each other on screen and their openness and vulnerability is what will draw audiences into their performances.
Audiences might find it a bit odd that Disney is taking on their own fairy tale "Sleeping Beauty" with this look from a different perspective. This movie truly speaks to the phase, "Evil isn't born, it's made." Maleficent acts and reacts from the events in her life and in the end, even she realizes that life isn't about destroying those who have wronged you but it's about getting on with your life after such events. Jolie's performance will bring tears to your eyes as you watch her turn from scorned and heartbroken villain to a remorseful, tenderhearted "fairy godmother", as Aurora often refers to her before knowing the truth.
Although at times this movie does lack for originality, one of the plot "twists" seems to be taken from the TV series "Once Upon a Time" with the interruptions of "true love's kiss", yet the ability for Jolie to completely embody Maleficent is really, what makes this movie succeed. It seems that no matter what point of view Disney seems to look at life whether it be from the villain or the hero's perspective, they can truly find the good in anyone. This movie is just another reminder of how nice life would be if seen from the eyes of a Disney movie.

After graduating with a degree in English Literature, I taught business communications in Eastern Europe and led educational teams in Thailand. My ongoing fascination with language, design and the global impacts of each led me to pursue an MAA in Design at Emily Carr University, where I focused my research on cross-cultural design process. I love words and images - and the way they help us navigate the world.

2012 is the 370th anniversary of the discovery of New Zealand for the Europeans by the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman. To mark the 300th anniversary in 1942, Austrian architect Ernst Plischke was commissioned to design a memorial to Tasman. He did this with a classic modernist stele which remains one of the most elegant and timeless memorials in New Zealand.
The story of the background, design and construction of this memorial affords a fascinating glimpse into wartime New Zealand and the politics of an era of nation building. It also provides some illuminating insights into the work of one of the most innovative architects to work in New Zealand, discussing in detail this, one of his first architectural commissions "down under" after emigrating from Austria in 1939.

This weekend will be wrapping up the last of the big state tournaments here in Des Moines, and there is going to be a ton of extra traffic anywhere you go. Do you really want to be out at Jordan Creek this Saturday? Not unless you want to play chicken for a parking spot! Instead, why not do a little home improvement--and do a little flirting while you are at it!
Normally, one might think these two don't go together. Actually, they do. How, you wonder? Try this: map out a home improvement project that you can easily complete in one weekend--either by yourself, or with the help of a few friends. Maybe you want to give your bathroom a nice faux finish, or maybe something as simple as new kitchen rugs! Make a shopping list of items you need to do this project, and head out to your nearest Menards store (or Home Depot, or Lowes! I just prefer Menards, but you can pick one.) There are several metro locations of any of these stores.
I know, I know--what does this have to do with flirting?! I'm getting to that. ANY of these stores will have a veritable crop of nice, good looking gentlemen just waiting to help you with your home improvement needs. Granted, you may be an extremely knowledgable, capable person, and able to know exactly what you need and where to find it. However, that doesn't mean you can't pretend to not know the difference between two different kinds of paint. Not only can you get in some great flirting while making a guy feel great about himself, you can also maybe get some insider advice while you are at it, and that can potentially save you time and money! Plus, you never know--if he's single, maybe he could assist!
It might sound a bit trite, but trust me--it works! Do you really want to be battling the crowds who are just dying to get their Olive Garden fix? I'm betting no. Try this instead, and not only will you have more fun, but you'll also get a fun do-it-yourself project too!

World War II: New photos discovered
It's always exciting when we find heirlooms or photos providing more detail into the lives of our ancestors, but this can also happen to historical events.
After some 70 years, 31 rolls of film taken by an American soldier during WWII were found. Last year, the photos were developed as part of a project entitled The Rescued Film Project.
This was the first time the public had access to this incredible historical material depicting the lives of soldiers during the war, as they offer a glimpse into our ancestors' past.
Watch the video below to learn more about the project and the photos.
Have you found any previously unknown photos revealing more detail about your ancestors' lives? Let us know in the comments below.
Remembrance Day: Honoring war heroes
In 1918, at the 11th hour, of the 11th day of the 11th month, an armistice was declared between the Allies and Germany, marking the end to the "Great War."
Benjamin Disraeli once said, "The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example." Remembrance Day is just one way to honor the memory of our historic ancestors who fought for their lives in service.
Also known as Veteran's Day or Armistice Day, it is a day to commemorate those war heroes, share stories and and learn about the role they played during the war. Continue reading "Remembrance Day: Honoring war heroes" »
MyHeritage featured on prime time news
This weekend, MyHeritage Founder & CEO Gilad Japhet was interviewed on Israel's leading prime time TV news show to discuss MyHeritage and some of its pro bono projects. These include discovering heirs for unclaimed assets confiscated in WWII, returning looted art to its rightful owners and our global crowdsourcing project with BillionGraves to digitally preserve the world's cemeteries.
Our technologies are helping millions of families around the world discover more about their history. We're happy to take our mission several steps further by proactively initiating and executing important projects that have the potential to make the world a better place. Watch the video clip with English subtitles below:
We're proud of our motto to not only do well, but also do good, and we will strive to continue in this direction in the years ahead.
Ghosts of War: Bringing historic legacies to the present
What's the relationship between our history and our daily reality?
Each day we walk by our local store, our neighbor's place or the park, without realizing the stories from the past that existed in those same places many years before.
While we often think of history as antique, irrelevant and something out of the past, it can just as easily be intertwined with the present.
Imagine what it would look like if the ghosts of World War II came back to the streets today. That's what Dutch historian Jo Hedwig Teeuwisse shows through her Ghosts of War photo series.

Hidden Memorial: Honoring fallen heroes – Part 2
Recently, we wrote about the discovery of a memorial board - listing the names of 11 WWII servicemen - that had been hidden for 3o years in a communal building's basement.
Laurence Harris, MyHeritage's Head of Genealogy (UK), led a small team to quickly trace the living relatives of these men who were killed in action, to invite the relatives to a ceremony on Remembrance Sunday, in which the board was rededicated and their stories retold.
Over the next few weeks, we'll demonstrate how Laurence was able to do this, while sharing some of the stories of these unsung war heroes.

Hidden Memorial: Honoring fallen heroes
Our genealogy team love challenges – so imagine the reaction of Laurence Harris, MyHeritage's Head of Genealogy (UK), when he was shown a 66-year-old Memorial Board commemorating the names of Servicemen who had died in WWII.
The board had been hidden in a rarely-used storage area for more than 30 years.
The challenge was on! Laurence volunteered to trace living family members of the men so that they could be invited to a special service to remember and honor them and to rededicate the Board.
Laurence took this as both a personal and professional challenge. He recognized the importance of learning about these forgotten heroes of the past, enabling the present generation to honor them, and ensuring that their stories are preserved for future generations.
Along the way, he discovered many interesting stories. Over the next few weeks we'll be sharing with you some of these stories and explaining how Laurence managed to trace the descendants.
Do you have stories to share about unsung war heroes in your family? Let us know in the comments below, and email relevant photos to email@example.com

Keep your jeans from fading by washing them as little as possible. But eww, right? If you don't subscribe to the idea that jeans are clean enough to wear after being frozen for a few hours, then soak them with a bit of Denim Solution ($22) from 3x1. Turned inside out and soaked with 3x1's gentle solution, your jeans will get clean and retain their saturated color.

I recently purchased a ReadyNAS NVX, a 4-drive NAS storage device. It is a nice, solidly built, small package, and generally is not too loud. Most other sounds drown it out, so I have it sitting out in the open in my living room next to a Media Center PC that drives my TV.
Every so often, too frequently for me to just ignore, the fan on the NVX jumps up a notch (to around 2200-2500 rpm) and gets much louder. Usually within 10 minutes, it jumps up another notch (to around 3200 rpm), and is really loud. Loud enough that it interferes with watching any kind of media.
I am at a loss to explain why this happens. The temperature of the room is pretty stable, on a scheduled timer and temperature. When I am at home and watching something, the temperature is always about 70-73 degrees. Given the consistency of the temperature, I can not figure out why the NVX's fans randomly spin up. The drive temperatures are consistently at 44-45 degrees Celsius, and when the fans spin up there seems to be no corresponding change in the temperatures of the NVX or the drives.

Stubbings is a Georgian house in Maidenhead Thicket, site of an ancient Celtic farmstead, that became the home of Sir Guy Carleton, first Lord Dorchester, until his death in 1808, to where he retired after a military career in North America culminating as governor of Quebec. Stubbings was then home to the Skrine family, descended from a secretary of Sir Francis Bacon. From 1941-45 it was home to Queen Wilhemina of the Netherlands. Stubbings was then bought by Sir Thomas Merton, where he lived until 1969. He was a scientist who helped devise aircraft radar screens during the Battle of Britain. He was also a collector of Italian Renaissance art who famously said, "Pictures are like women. There are quite a number of them which one can admire without wanting to live with them."

As far as I`m concerned, the biggest controversy of the event was the fact that an event sponsored by Budweiser could have no beer served at the venue! Furthermore, by the time I discovered where the complimentary beer was for sponsors, they were dry.

Every superhero movie is only as good as the supervillain it unleashes. Thankfully for Marvel, Tom Hiddleston's charming portrayal of Loki in 2011's "Thor" and 2012's "Marvel's the Avengers" has been embraced by an incredibly passionate fanbase. In addition to creating Internet memes based on Loki's hair and fanfic pairing him up with pretty much every character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Hiddleston's fans have gone so far as to create a Change.org petition with more than 25,000 signatures demanding a solo film for the character.
But however much love Loki's followers have for the guy who caused the destruction of a sizable chunk of Manhattan in "The Avengers," none of those 25,000 fans understand Loki as well as the man responsible for playing him on the big screen.
"You can't sit in judgment," Hiddleston explained to MTV News during our "Thor: The Dark World" set visit. "So in my own mind, I've unpacked his suitcase of pain. I can easily stand up and defend him even though many of his actions are indefensible… So yeah, I do like him. I was also enormously charming."
Fans got to see that charm ramped up in "The Avengers," the film that saw Loki bury all of the familial strife that defined his character arc in "Thor." Hiddleston credited "Avengers" writer and director Joss Whedon for giving Loki's ego a bit of a boost while on set.
"What I love about playing him is that there's a delight [in him] now because of the way the character was developed by Joss Whedon in 'Avengers,' " revealed Hiddleston. "He kept encouraging me to enjoy myself, enjoy myself as an actor and enjoy [scenes] like Loki's having a good time destroying Manhattan. He's having a good time teasing everybody and playing everyone else off each other like a chess master."
That approach has stuck with Hiddleston well after he parted ways with Whedon to work on the "Thor" sequel with "Game of Thrones" director Alan Taylor. "Now I really feel like I'm the god of mischief, and playing that mischievous element in all its unpredictability is really, really fun."
Taylor marks the third director Hiddleson has collaborated with to bring Loki to life, following Whedon and Kenneth Branagh, who directed the character's debut in "Thor." The character has remained consistent, however, thanks to Hiddleston's determination to solve the character's internal riddles.
"You know, he's a psychopath," admitted Hiddleston. "The fascinating thing about playing a psychopath, and like when it's a real life Category A inmate in the darkest prison that we have on earth or someone who is a mythological creature who's been around in human imagination for two or three thousand years, [is wondering] what quality of compassion or goodness is still there?"
After years sharing a headspace with the trickster god, Hiddleston reckons there's one else around that understands the character the way he does.
"I've lived through him, you know. Other people can have their opinion objectively about where Loki should go, but I've lived through every moment. And sometimes I'm the only person who knows how it feels… So other people have written him, other people have shot him, other people have framed him, but I know his inside. What's really exciting is that I have had a bit of an input into it. It's really great."
Loki returns in "Thor: The Dark World" on November 8.

TC TO SAMUEL BROWN ; 9 March 1844; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18440309-TC-SB-01; CL 17: 298-300
Chelsea, 9 March, 1844—
My dear Sir,
Thanks for the news you send of yourself; interesting as all news of you are. I had already read your Public Letter, in Aird's Newspaper; 1 and found the step you had taken praiseworthy, and the manner of it right and dignified. You are now, at any rate, free of a huge embarrassment; master of yourself again,—of whatever more. Nobody knows whether the loss, as it is called, is not a real gain to you;—nay we do know very well that it is a gain, that all things to the wise man are a gain. Hold on your way, and leave their 'Chair' standing there: it appears you you2 were not made for it, but for another thing, on this occasion.
The magnitude of your Chemical Enterprises is manifest enough to me; is but too manifest. I fear you run a risk of being torn to pieces with that business, joined to the babbling and buzzing of so many idle persons hovering round you while in death-wrestle with it. Gently, gently; do not wrestle so! At all events, study to shut your ears wholly to the babble and bustle above-said,—to be altogether deaf to it as to a thing idle, not to say mad and mad-making. What can man do for a man? Almost nothing so handsome, in these hollow days, as leave him altogether alone; shut their idle jaws, and go about their own affairs, leaving him to his. Truly of many a man at the end of his course, you will say, Kind was the world that would yield thee no promotion; that went on its way, and left thee to the rigorous and most blessed promotions and monitions of the Eternal Heavens in place of the Edinburgh Public!— Dante, could his prayers, and his tears, and bloody sweat of the soul have availed anything,—had been Mayor of Florence, with some kind of red or blue silk cloak on him; and no Divina Commedia had come to light.3 It is so with one and all of us who are any real thing whatever, and not a mere semblance got together for transitory commercial purposes.
All this does not alarm me for you; but the fire in your own heart almost does. Let it not master you, quench it down to the verge of extinction rather; at whatever cost be you master of it. Speak not of making good your discovery or of dying: Oh no! You will seek honestly for it, and that shall suffice. The Scripture says, "Seekest thou great things, seek them not";4 no truer text was ever written in any Bible. On the whole, let me wish you from my heart God's Guidance; and say, as the sum of all these advices, Festina lente [Hasten slowly]. Do but keep living and healthy, we shall hear of you time enough!
Thanks too for your Edinburgh news: it is rare that anybody presents to me a glimpse of the old City such as I can wish to lay hold of. A strange old City for me;—impressive as I think Hades itself could hardly now contrive to be! The Professor is surely wise to hold by water:5 I have loved much in him long, and heartily wish him all good. Of Jeffrey it is very certain you will never make much on the theological side;—yet he is a right melodious luminous being, whom no wigs or blue-and-yellow covers6 could altogether hide as under a bushel!
With many kind wishes and regards, and good auguries and encouragements / Yours always truly / T. Carlyle

Night shift
Posted on Mar 23, 2009 - 78 comments - Ilan Bresler, Israel, Street
As you see, no design updates yet. They were postponed to this weekend, and this time for real. Hopefully. :)
So, I'll repeat my warning about the possible downtime and the fact that you might not recognize the site next time.
Meanwhile, this is another shot from my new compact camera Ricoh GX200 - I'm having a blast with this little pixel devil!
P.S - Thanks all for your Barcelona recommendations - All marked on my map.

Interesting shot. This could be anything from an artist finishing a piece to a mad scientist working on heis newest monster.
Arjan - PlasticDaisy says:
I love work places like these! You captured the mood perfectly!
daina says:
Love the color – the crazy green light in combination with his blue smock and reddish floor. I could not figure what kind of work space that was but that is what makes it a great generic one - representing workshops in general – great shot!
elaine says:
are you working as hard as the man on the photo???
rian says:
he's got a pretty big workspace there.. i like it.. nice shot! :)
Marcie says:
Love the light in this..and how you captured him so engrossed in what he's doing. He looks like an 'artist-at'work'!!!!
Mahbubur Rahman says:
I love this composition - I love it when a picture tells a story, and this is a perfect example - the title 'nightshift' is very appropriate and the tone and the color adds to that mood that maybe he is not having much fun. However, I would have liked to know more about the backstory of the picture/the subject/etc..
firstname.lastname@example.com says:
WOnderfull shot, looks like that little devil really works well.
Ronnie 2¢ says:
Ah, yes . . such an unobtrusive little camera to use in situations like this. Never makes its presence felt !
Ian says:
I like the angle, as well - it works really well with the depth of the shop.
Love the green walls mixing with the light from the fluorescents - my kind of lighting ;-)
Elaine- says:
i can't tell what's being made in this place of work, it doesn't look like it's open to the public... very nice work with your new cam :) i haven't used my Ricoh in a long time
Jonas says:
This looks like a very closed place to work, wihout window, except the kind of window that the map on the wall makes.
Benjamin Gustafsson says:
So much going on here, I wonder what kind of project he is working on. Is this from your studio Ilian?
Ivar says:
Nice shot of a man deeply engrossed in his work, oblivious to you and your camera. Nice street capture
cat says:
I love the map of the world on the wall, as a reminder that there _is_ a world out there! The fluorescent lights hurt my eyes even here - excellent atmosphere.
Hope your new site is up and running soon - looking forward to seeing it :)

Bodyshop? I like the atmosphere and the green hue. The camera appears to work well in low light, very low noise!

is there a difference between $\frac{\partial^2 }{\partial x^2}$ and $(\frac{\partial }{\partial x})^{2}$? I have to tell if a differential equation is linear, and $(\frac{\partial }{\partial x})^{2}$ concerns me. If it's the same thing as second derivative, the equation would be linear.

the notation $\frac{\partial^2 }{\partial x^2}f~~$ means $\frac{\partial }{\partial x}(\frac{\partial }{\partial x}f)$, so $\frac{\partial^2 }{\partial x^2}f~~$ and $(\frac{\partial }{\partial x})^{2}f~~$ is the same both you apply $\frac{\partial }{\partial x}$ twice.
The first expression, $\frac{\partial^2 }{\partial x^2}$ is the second (partial) derivative, while the second expression, $(\frac{\partial }{\partial x})^{2}$, is the first (partial) derivative squared.

Mango-Strawberry Jello
Tropical mango and sweet strawberries are the perfect marriage in this pretty, crowd-pleasing jello recipe. We like the subtle tang the orange juice provides in this strawberry jello recipe, but using all mango juice works well too.Yield: 10 servings
Active Time: 20
Total Time: 270
- 2 cups mango juice
- 1 cup cold water
- 3 envelopes unflavored gelatin
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 cup cold orange juice
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- 1 cup diced mango
- Bring mango juice to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat.
- Meanwhile, pour water into a large heatproof bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over the water; let stand for 3 minutes. Add the mango juice and stir to completely dissolve the gelatin, 2 to 3 minutes. Add sugar and stir for 1 minute to dissolve. Whisk in orange juice.
- Refrigerate until the mixture is the consistency of thin pudding and is just starting to set around the edges, 1 to 1 3/4 hours. The time will vary depending on the size of your bowl and how cold your refrigerator is. After 1 hour, start checking every 5 to 10 minutes because it thickens quickly after that.
- Gently but thoroughly whisk the mixture until it's uniform. Ladle just enough into a 6-cup mold to cover the bottom by about 1/2 inch. Nestle strawberries into the layer of jello, pushing it into any grooves in the mold. Gently ladle another thin layer of jello over the fruit to help hold it in place. Mix mango into the remaining jello in the bowl. Gently ladle the mixture into the mold and smooth the top. Cover the mold with its top or with plastic wrap, without touching the jello.
- Refrigerate until very firm, about 4 hours. To test if it's ready, touch it with your finger. If your finger does not stick, it's done.
- To unmold, moisten fingertips and gently pull the top edges of the jello away from the mold. Fill a bowl with warm (but not hot) water; dip the mold just until the water nears the top. Hold it under for 20 seconds. Take it out of the water. Place a large plate over the mold. Holding the mold and plate together, invert and gently shake to loosen. Then slowly and gently pull the mold off. If the jello doesn't come out, dip the mold back into the water for another 15 to 20 seconds to help loosen it from the sides.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Refrigerate for up to 3 days; unmold just before serving. | Equipment: 6-cup gelatin mold

Tony Parker has spent all of his 13 NBA seasons with the San Antonio Spurs, looks like he will be there for a few more. The 32-year-old point guard signed a multi-year extension with the Spurs on Friday.
Parker may not be flashy, he doesn't always put big numbers on the stat sheet, but he may be the best post-season point guard in NBA history. Since 2003, no other active NBA point guard has won more titles than Parker, who now has a total of five rings. This honor was previously held by Derek Fisher, who retired from the Oklahoma City Thunder in June to join the New York Knicks as the head coach. There are only two active players with more playoff experience than Parker; one of which is Kobe Bryant, the other is Spurs teammate Tim Duncan.
Parker has been a prolific stat collector and award winner with the Spurs. Along with the NBA titles, he has been an All-Star six times and has been included on four All-NBA teams. He has led San Antonio in scoring the last four seasons, averaging 17.1 points per game in his career. Parker also holds the Spurs record for most assists. As the very last pick (28th) in the 2001 draft, which Kwame Brown was selected first overall, every NBA team must be pulling their hair out for not taking Parker.
The agreement between the Spurs and their star point guard is reportedly worth $43.3 million over the next three years. Parker will sit out next month's FIBA World Cup to rest up for the start of the next NBA season. With the core group of Parker, Duncan and Manu Ginobili, the Spurs keep their dynasty alive and well.

The Role of Good Environmental Governance in the Sustainable Development of South Africa
Loretta A. Feris
University of Cape Town (UCT)
May 7, 2010
Potchefstroom Electronic Law Journal, Vol. 13, No. 1, 2010
This article seeks to analyse good governance decision-making in the environmental context through an understanding and interpretation of the relationship between good environmental governance (evidenced inter alia by decision-making by public authorities) and sustainable development in South Africa. It critically assesses recent case law in an attempt to understand the way in which our courts are evaluating authorities' environmental decisions. In reaching its objectives, this article considers also how environmental decisions are made in the first place and asks the question: what are the value choices underlying government's decisions and what role does sustainable development play in informing decisions for good environmental governance.

WELLINGTON, Fla. (AP) -- Reports of a man attempting to lure two students into his car have parents and officials at dozens of western Palm Beach County schools on alert.
The Palm Beach Post reports no students were injured or abducted in the incidents reported last week. At least two principals sent letters home, asking parents to caution their children.
Osceola Creek Middle School principal Dan Frank urged parents to talk to children about stranger danger.
Last week a 14-year-old girl told police a car followed her to the bus stop and a man got out, opened his trunk and told her he wanted to show her something. He asked which school she attended. That afternoon a similar car followed another student from a different school. He offered that student a ride home.

In the controversial public debate over modern American families, the vast changes in family life--the rise of single, two-paycheck , and same-sex parents--have often been blamed for declining morality and unhappy children. Drawing upon pioneering research with the children of the gender revolution, Kathleen Gerson reveals that it is not a lack of "family values," but rigid social and economic forces that make it difficult to have a vibrant and committed family and work life. Despite the entrance of women into the workforce and the blurring of once clearly defined gender boundaries, men and women live in a world where the demands of balancing parenting and work, autonomy and commitment, time and money are left largely unresolved. Gerson finds that while an overwhelming majority of young men and women see an egalitarian balance within committed relationships as the ideal, today's social and economic realities remain based on conventional--and now obsolete--distinctions between breadwinning and caretaking. In this equity vacuum, men and women develop conflicting strategies, with women stressing self-reliance and men seeking a new traditionalism. With compassion for all perspectives, Gerson argues that whether one decides to give in to traditionally imbalanced relationships or to avoid marriage altogether, these approaches are second-best responses, not personal preferences or inherent attributes, and they will shift if new options can be created to help people achieve their egalitarian aspirations. The Unfinished Revolution offers clear recommendations for the kinds of workplace and community changes that would best bring about a more egalitarian family life--a new flexibility at work and at home that benefits families, encourages a thriving economy, and helps women and men integrate love and work.

In his first fight at 205-pounds, "DC" takes on (4-0) Patrick Cummins, an ex-trainer partner who – even on short notice – got the opportunity of his life following Rashad Evans' knee injury.

We are posting this in our entertainment section, but it raises a serious subject: the tragedy of the commons.
First, the fun:
Now, the facts:
There is a reason why public toilets are often so nasty: No one owns them. No one has an incentive to treat them well. It's the same reason why no one has an incentive to graze their cattle carefully on common land.

Food Trucks:Expectations Lead to Success
This blog post is not about Jackalope or any truck in general but is about my personal observations of expectations associated with the food truck culture in DFW. When I started this blog, in July, I found several trucks that had already closed down, in both Dallas and Fort Worth, Jackalope isn't the first and I am comfortable saying it will not be the last truck to close. As sad as it is to see any business close, its especially sad when it is a small business, where we feel like we know the owner and have an vested interest in the business. But, from my months of watching the food trucks, both those who were in around back in July and those that have come out since, I am seeing some patterns emerge and areas where everyone has some opportunities to make the food truck culture a success.
For those thinking of opening a truck:
Over the last two months, DFW has averaged one new truck launch every week. This is a very exciting time for all of us! What is interesting, to me, is the process of launch that each truck takes. Some trucks have been working a business plan and making contacts, both from a marketing and a distribution chain process for months; some seemingly pop-up over night. Some spend months marketing themselves and still have not rolled out on the streets, some quietly set up websites and Facebook pages, get a feel for the market and launch once they have dotted every i and crossed every t, multiple times over. I am not judging any of these styles as right or wrong; obviously what works for one person probably won't work for everyone. But there seems to be some things that need to happen before a truck rolls out, if they are going to have long-term success.
1. Have the expectations and finances to allow for rough going the first few months. I've talked to several trucks that were out early this summer, before things took off and they have all said that the first few weeks were rough and they often questioned if they had done the right thing. These are trucks that today anyone would consider a success, but it took time and a lot of hard work to get there.
2. Start working your contacts long before you hit the streets. Every truck needs multiple locations in which to set up a route. The only way to find those locations is to start making contacts with business owners. Along these same lines, you cannot rely on stops where other trucks are already setting up. There have been several situations where trucks felt like they had an exclusive agreement with a business owner and then find that the property owner was open to other trucks setting up in that location. This ends up with everyone having bad feelings and customer confusion.
3. Make the truck exterior look as professional as possible. Yes, I understand that wraps are expensive but the exterior is the first impression a truck makes. Your truck is a mobile billboard. I'm surprised at how often someone will stop me and say, "I saw a black food truck, is that one good?" or "I saw a van with cupcakes on it, where do they serve?". No one has ever said," I saw a plain truck. Can you tell me who it was so I can go there?"
4. Know the laws of the city in which you plan to operate. I'm especially talking about the laws that cover what kinds of trucks are allowed to be permitted in each city. If you plan to operate out of a trailer, in Dallas, you should know going in what Dallas will allow and what they won't. There's size limits and structure requirements. I've talked to several people who have already shelled out the money for trailers only to find out that they will not be permitted in Dallas. I wish they had known that going in.
Once the trucks roll out, some thoughts for the customers:
1. Support the food trucks. Visit them! Don't take it for granted they will be there. Especially with winter coming, if you aren't visiting them, there is a good chance that neither is the next person. Yes, it may be cold but most of the trucks are planning new menu items that will warm you back up. If the thought crosses your mind that you wish you could to to a truck, GO, don't wait for another day.
2. Tell others about your truck experience. If you enjoyed it, tell a friend, post a review on Yelp, Foodspotting and other restaurant rating sites. Word of mouth marketing is critical for any small business. In today's social media world, your comments about a food truck can be seen by hundreds, if not thousands of peoples within hours.
3. Get to know the owners. Every single one of them is open to suggestions. Whether you contact them in person or by social media, they want to hear what you want from them. They may not always be able to make it happen quickly, especially when it comes to locations but they are always listening and considering options.
4. Understand that at times its easier for you to go the truck than it is for them to come to you. I live in one of the suburbs that has said unconditionally that they will not allow trucks in the town. While I may not like it, I have to accept the limitations. And if I am considering the logistics of it all, my town is probably outside of the area that makes economical sense for the trucks. I'm a long way from any of the commissaries so to even get to my town, the cost of gas would make it expensive to drive a truck to get to my area. In the long run, its more cost efficient for me to travel to the trucks, see a part of town I wouldn't have otherwise seen and still have an inexpensive, delicious meal.
These are just my observations, I haven't talked to any of the trucks about this particular post or the ideas I'm throwing out. It is a credit to the existing trucks that they have made it all look easy. However, once you start following the trucks and seeing what they are doing, you realize there is a lot of pieces that have to fit together in order to be a success. Hopefully each new truck that comes out will have realistic expectations and every customer that visits a truck has a positive experience that they share with many, many others.

As always. A really good read. :-)ReplyDelete
Thanks for the nice article. I'm one who should travel to the trucks. I'm sorry any small business has to close.ReplyDelete
As if you were transcribing my thoughts...especially as of late. I come from the birthplace of street eats, and they do come n go...often! There needs to be a mutual desire and effort between the vendors ans the consumers to sustain a grassroots movement, especially in our current economy AND with mobile food...thats still, surprisingly, "taboo." Rock on DFW-TF! We need all Foodies to unite; actions speak waaay louder than words.ReplyDelete

You say that the last two months have averaged a truck a week. That is insane. I have been a Food Truck supporter in my past residences, LA and Austin and in the few months I have been here I have visited just about every truck in Metro DFW that I can get to. When is enough enough, from what I see and hear the Metro DFW can not sustain many more trucks. The truck owners I have had the pleasure of talking to are concerned. Your article is wonderful, and I see on twitter owners supporting, but get real owners, in LA it became a full on war of the trucks. Does Metro DFW really need that. The trucks that I have been to are serving phenom food, what a shame to lose any of them. What about the new trucks throwing their good money away because the Metro DFW can not support them. I am new here yes, but I see and I hear and I have seen this before in other cities. This may not be so happy happy joy joy. Future truck owners must really do their research, to launch a new truck now is quite simply a bad move.ReplyDelete

There is a flood of food trucks, and many have closed. I hope that those who intend to launch a truck realize their potential.ReplyDelete
There are many days and hours of work without pay, and many expenses that keep coming when you are not working. Old man Winter is about to really show who has it to stay.
