in http://wiki.wordpress.org/PostMeta, it is stated that "The values from this table [$tablepostmeta] are pulled into a structured multi-dimensional array called $post_meta_cache, just after the $posts array is fetched in wp-blog-header.php. This variable will only contain values for the list of posts fetched for the current page build. ".
This is all cool, unless you are doing what i'm doing: I have two sidebars generated from kitten's show_category_posts plugin, and with those, I want to have some conditional code based on the values of custom data fields -- the problem is that the $post_meta_cache doesn't have any information in it for the post ids in the sidebars unless those posts also appear in the 'main' part of the page, given the above.
So, what's the tidiest way to get seomthing like $post_meta_cache populated with ALL posts' metadata? Is there any better way than embedding a sql query in my page?

Victory Series™ Bands
Victory Series Micro-Etched Bands are made from strong, seamless material that resists buckling. Bands are available in multiple sizes and in regular and hard tempers to meet your unique treatment requirements.
Victory Series™ Micro-Etched Bands feature an inside surface uniformly etched to create a more retentive bonding surface and aim to provide significantly increased bond strength over non-etched bands. Used with either our Unitek™ Multi-Cure Glass Ionomer Band Cement or Transbond™ Plus Light Cure Band Adhesive, they should therefore provide greater band retention. Ultimately creating fewer loose bands to re-seat, which would therefore result in an overall increase in office productivity.
The Victory Series™ Narrow Contoured Molar Band has narrow occlusal/gingival dimensions for optimal application and unsurpassed band-to-tooth adaption. You can also order them with or without our prewelded buccal tubes. Available with or without micro-etching.

pm has been sent and quilt is on the way.
Hammock sold pending payment to hhs newbie
The suspension is original straps.
made of argon shell. Black on the bottom coyote on the top. It has the tubes. I just got the quilt a couple of weeks ago.
It has two covers. One mesh and one for the winter.
Going back to the ground. I have tried to get comfortable in a hammock for over a year now. Cant do it. Even bought the top of the line stuff. I must be missing something. THE GROUND. Going back to...

You are right. Big Agnes does not put insulation on the bottom, just a thin piece of material to wrap around. Usually a top quilt is not as wide as some sleeping bags so it can leave parts exposed....
It does have some plastic ring evenly spred down each side. I might try your suggestion. You say you used to do that. What do you do now?
Side to side
And what do you do with the dutch clips you suggest?
how do you keep it in that position throughout the night. I have wbb xlc and an incubator UQ. I get it in the position that is great and in five minutes the uq is sliding all over the place. It is...
How did the 20' uq do for you in those cold temps. Looks like you had a BA long ranger bag. How did that work for ya.
Nice video. Looks mighty cold. Glad a tree didnt fall on you
It is showing up now. TY but the previous replys did nt show. So maybe it is fixes
would be nice if it was on the bar. it would be much easier to navigate. TY
They do show up under ODD AND ENDS under todays post
Even after someone else has replyed to my post, or someone posts after my post the thread is disappearing from new posts
Now the whole thread I am posting on is disappearing from new posts....this one included
My new posts are not showing up when I click new posts
HHMMM that is interesting. What material do they say is lighter than the posted weight?
Just weighed my TQ. It is 2ozs heavy than advertized.
I will contact the vendor
Just checked my scale. It is almost spot on to the gram. It does show weight just a miniscule heavy. So my UQ is even lighter than what I posted earlier.
Good point. I have a decent digital scale. But I will check that. TY
Well it does seem a bit thin compared to my tq. TQ looks like what I expected my UQ to look like.
Just ordered and recieved tq and uq from two diff venders. I got my uq first 20'. I tried it out just could not get warm with it. Got my tq and the loft is great and indeed made me sweat. So I...
Not sure why anyone would sell this tarp...unless you are the maker
It helps alot from the outside. The worry is the condisation from the inside

if you are looking to lighten up. here are a few things you might want to loose. sunglasses, spare water bladder, mirror, ace bandage. marker, gerber tool,
everything else looks good
any suggestiions
You are right. I do have that concern. I saw that dutch sewed the clips on his hammock. Not sure how he did it. But that is what i got from his video
I see that there is some bling called dutch quilt clips. I will probably buy some but wanted to get some opinions as well as knowlege of other methods for securing uq to hammock. What works best for...
spend the extra 30 for the full length. it wont be too hot. All you have to do is loosen it a bit.
Thanks for all the replys and helpful suggestions. I will try out some to see they help.
Thanks for the invite but you guys are about 7-8hours away. Glad to know gunner knows what he s doing
Thanks FLH. GOod suggestion. I am set to do a hang at Merchant mill Pond in NC. I will get the experts to help check out my setup.

I have always found the folks on this forum as kind and patient and understanding. I come to this site because of the way people treat one another. On other outdoor site its like a constance argument...
Me too.........
HOw well will this hold up?
OK wind proof but water resistant,
I hear alot about UQP but I dont hear anyone talking about a cuben UQP. I was wondering is this because of cost or lack of breathablity?
I have not seen the rule you speek of either. I am a rules guy. I follow them. but if there is not a stated rule, I think you have been treated unfairly. Now what I find on other sites is you must...

Award-winning authors Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid followed the river south, as it flows through the mountain gorges of southern China, to Burma and into Laos and Thailand. For a while the right bank of the river is in Thailand, but then it becomes solely Lao on its way to Cambodia. Only after three thousand miles does it finally enter Vietnam and then the South China Sea.
It was during their travels that Alford and Duguid—who ate traditional foods in villages and small towns and learned techniques and ingredients from cooks and market vendors—came to realize that the local cuisines, like those of the Mediterranean, share a distinctive culinary approach: Each cuisine balances, with grace and style, the regional flavor quartet of hot, sour, salty, and sweet. This book, aptly titled, is the result of their journeys.
Like Alford and Duguid's two previous works, Flatbreads and Flavors ("a certifiable publishing event" —Vogue) and Seductions of Rice ("simply stunning"—The New York Times), this book is a glorious combination of travel and taste, presenting enticing recipes in "an odyssey rich in travel anecdote" (National Geographic Traveler).
The book's more than 175 recipes for spicy salsas, welcoming soups, grilled meat salads, and exotic desserts are accompanied by evocative stories about places and people. The recipes and stories are gorgeously illustrated throughout with more than 150 full-color food and travel photographs.
In each chapter, from Salsas to Street Foods, Noodles to Desserts, dishes from different cuisines within the region appear side by side: A hearty Lao chicken soup is next to a Vietnamese ginger-chicken soup; a Thai vegetable stir-fry comes after spicy stir-fried potatoes from southwest China.
The book invites a flexible approach to cooking and eating, for dishes from different places can be happily served and eaten together: Thai Grilled Chicken with Hot and Sweet Dipping Sauce pairs beautifully with Vietnamese Green Papaya Salad and Lao sticky rice.
North Americans have come to love Southeast Asian food for its bright, fresh flavors. But beyond the dishes themselves, one of the most attractive aspects of Southeast Asian food is the life that surrounds it. In Southeast Asia, people eat for joy. The palate is wildly eclectic, proudly unrestrained. In Hot, Sour, Salty, Sweet, at last this great culinary region is celebrated with all the passion, color, and life that it deserves.

Barbour Shifts on Anti-Integration Groups
Mississippi Governor Criticizes Citizens' Councils Cited by Historians as Segregationist After He Praises Their Activities
Haley Barbour, the governor of Mississippi and a potential Republican presidential candidate, said Tuesday that he didn't condone the Citizens' Councils known for opposing racial integration in the Deep South decades ago, softening remarks he made in a recent magazine interview.
Mr. Barbour released a written statement augmenting remarks that he had made in The Weekly Standard published Monday. When asked why his hometown had avoided the violence that accompanied public-school integration in other locales, Mr. Barbour had spoken well of the Citizens' Council in Yazoo City.
"You heard of the Citizens' Councils?" Mr. Barbour said in the magazine interview. "Up north they think it was like the KKK. Where I come from it was an organization of town leaders. In Yazoo City they passed a resolution that said anybody who started a chapter of the Klan would get their ass run out of town."
Liberal critics, many historians and some Republicans said Mr. Barbour's characterization ignored the intent of the Citizens' Councils. First organized in Mississippi Delta communities, the councils were made up of local business leaders who opposed integration by exerting economic pressure on black workers.
Mr. Barbour, 63 years old, was a teenager and young adult during the civil-rights protests of the 1960s. He and his supporters acknowledge that Mississippi's civil rights history is sure to be an issue if he runs for president.
In his statement Tuesday, Mr. Barbour said he had meant to emphasize Yazoo City's rejection of the Ku Klux Klan. "Nobody should construe that to mean I think the town leadership were saints, either," he said. "Their vehicle, called the 'Citizens' Council,' is totally indefensible, as is segregation."
Mr. Barbour's remarks came on the heels of a successful year in politics.As chairman of the Republican Governors Association, a position he left recently, Mr. Barbour helped his party raise a record $85 million and capture Democratic governorships in important presidential-battleground states.
Mr. Barbour has said he would make a decision in the spring about whether to enter the 2012 presidential race.
McArthur Straughter, the mayor of Yazoo City, population 11,000, recalled racial tensions in the city during the period Mr. Barbour was discussing.
Mr. Straughter, a 68-year-old African-American, said he remembers being out with his brothers when they were falsely accused of waving a gun out a car window after being turned away from a soda shop. The brothers were arrested but later let go.
"Contrary to what people might think about certain parts of the South, we have come a long ways," he said.
In a recent book, Joseph Crespino, a history professor at Atlanta's Emory University, discussed a 1955 incident in Yazoo City in which the Citizens' Council published the names of 53 black parents who had petitioned the school board to adopt a policy of integration. Of those, 51 lost their jobs and businesses and many were run out of town, Mr. Crespino's book said.

крутое оружие, идея очень нравится
Nice, i like the muted tones.
Looks like the Nerf Recon
Could I please have permission to model some of your wonderful creations? You will get credit of course.
Reminds me of pistol from first Unreal.
great work
Great weapon design!
Cool! So compact
Bolt pistol much
Who are these astro troopers?
Amazing pic!!
looks like the barrel length is shorter than the projectile! Powerful, chunky design, but maybe impractical, and rather reminiscent of the bolt pistols from Warhammer 40K.
Actions speak louder than words....
I see you are a man of many words.
Okay, what kind of arm muscles you need to keep that gun straight? As far as I know, its never a good idea to hold on the ammo! Other than that, very realistic and cool looking weapon art!

What is the most efficient way to calucate the dominant eigenvector of a real symmetric tridiagonal matrix, and what's the corresponding time complexity bound? Could someone give me a reference for this special structure? Thank you in advance.
The following paper proposes an $O(nk)$ algorithm called $MR^3$ (Multiple Relatively Robust Representations) to compute $k$ orthogonal eigenvectors of an $n \times n$ symmetric tridiagonal matrix. An implementation of this method is also available in LAPACK.
(The paper also includes details of an algorithm called "GetVec" for computing an eigenvector corresponding to an isolated eigenvalue).
Additionally, searching for the MRRR algorithm will turn up other relevant results for you

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
This is one of the best Two-Face stories … and it's less concerned with the number two than you might expect!
Legends of the Dark Knight by Matt Wagner (writer/artist), Willie Schubert (letterer), and Steve Oliff (colorist).
DC, 3 issues (#28-30), cover dated March – May 1992.
Minor SPOILERS ahead, because I kind of have to. I apologize for it, but as you know, these comics are so good, it doesn't matter if you know what's coming!
Matt Wagner does far too little interior art these days, and it's a shame, because he's a marvelous artist. He's also a very good writer, and so this comic is a treat. Many of the Legends of the Dark Knight stories don't rise to the level of Comics You Should Own – even the God of All Comics' arc, "Gothic," falls a bit short – but "Faces" is a wonderful story. Wagner, unlike many writers, doesn't delve too much into Harvey Dent's duality and his internal struggle, but he does, like many writers, show how similar Harvey and Bruce Wayne are. There's nothing wrong with that – it's all in the execution, after all. And Wagner does it far more subtly than most.
One place that Wagner always shines is in his design work. His blocky style is remarkably graceful, and in most of his Batman work, he thickens the inks to make the world of Gotham even darker. Some of this comic's dark look can be attributed to Oliff, of course, but the first page of the arc sets the stage for what we're going to see: An exterior shot of Arkham Asylum with nothing but blacks and whites and browns. The ornate iron fence and the worked "Arkham" over the gate blend into the black house behind it and the black silhouette of the leafless branches of a tree, all of which seems to form one, demented building. The one window looks like a shadow cast into the house, while the half-moon in the sky casts a stark white onto the chimney and the gables. It's a haunting image, one that reflects the duality of the arc (which isn't surprising, as it's about Two-Face).
As the story is called "Faces" and is concerned with masks people wear, it's not surprising that the plot kicks into gear at a costume party – a masque. Wagner adds a creepy sheen to the full-page drawing of the party's establishing shot, and not just because of the devil who looms up from the bottom right or the figure of Death off to the side. Wagner's characters always have a look of desperation about them, and the rabbit and Statue of Liberty in the middle of the page, despite laughing and enjoying the party, also seem to be trying too hard. A fat Superman and a glazed-eyed unicorn complete the tableau, while Bruce Wayne, a pensive Napoleon, lurks in the middle ground. It's a strange scene that Wagner contrasts later with the double-page spread of the circus "freaks" that Two-Face has assembled. Wagner nicely sets up the difference between these privileged people wearing fake masks and the people who don't need to wear masks to look different. He does it without being too obvious about it, too.
Wagner lays out the pages beautifully, too. When Bruce and Paul D'Urberville settle their business in issue #28, Wagner shows them jogging around a track. The oval fills the entire page, and in the middle of it, Wagner does a nine-panel grid (eight panels, actually, but the final one is twice the size of the others – the grid is still a nine-panel one) that shows the two men talking to each other. He incorporates both the grid in the middle with the oval, switching from the characters talking on the track to the characters talking in the grid. It's a wonderful technique – something that can only be done in comics, and something more artists should do. In issue #29, he shows Nelson Wren, wracked with guilt over his complicity in Harvey's plot (despite not knowing he's working for Two-Face), wandering around his office, his path through the room dotted on the floor like he was in "The Family Circus." He uses that technique in issue #30 when Wren is trying to get away from Harvey but all he finds are freaks. Wagner also varies his panel size very well – when Batman checks the house of a potential victim in Harvey's scheme, Wagner fits his preparations into smaller panels to speed up the process and to show how thorough he is. This is more common among artists, but Wagner does it very well. Whenever Wagner wants to show how efficient Batman is (the checking of the house, the way he escapes Harvey's blimp in issue #30), he changes the size of the panels to give us the very minimum amount of information. We get everything we need, but it also feels like Batman is simply doing things faster than a normal person, because he knows exactly what he has to do. What's most impressive about the art and writing is how dense this book is, but how easily readable it is. Wagner never skimps on information, and he likes labyrinthine plots, so there's a lot of verbiage in these issues. But the way Wagner breaks down each page is marvelous, as he makes sure none of the words get in the way of the art and he also pulls back and lets the art tell the story when he needs to. And he doesn't shrink away from bigger spreads, either, so there's still some examples of nice set pieces (the final pages of both issues #28 and 29, for instance).
Wagner always gives us interesting characters and settings, too, and that's in abundance here. I love his Batman – he's slim and not overly muscular, much more Golden Age-ish than most artists draw him. Wagner's famous creation, Grendel, shares this characteristic – we can believe that Hunter Rose and Batman can engage in the aerial gymnastics that they do because they don't have ridiculous musculature, but we also believe they could be excellent fighters. Bruce Wayne is debonair and suave, too, and he's effortless about it – in Wagner's world, he's a true blueblood. Some artists make Bruce too uncomfortable in his own skin, which makes its point that he'd rather be smashing punks' faces, but Wagner understands that before his parents were killed, Bruce was raised as an aristocrat, and after their deaths, he didn't change. As an adult, it's necessary to remain so to throw off suspicion. It has become second nature, which means that even if it's an act, it's still part of him. This gets back to the theme of the story, which we'll get to soon. Paul D'Urberville, with his Gothic-Romantic tinged name, appears to be dying of consumption throughout the story. Nelson Wren, the real estate agent who acts as the catalyst for much of the plot, is indeed wren-like – small, meek, and easily overlooked. He's easy prey for Manon, the French girl who seduces him and gets him to betray both D'Urberville and Bruce Wayne. We feel much more pity for Nelson because of the way Wagner draws him, because we understand why he would fall for Manon and into an ethical dilemma. Wagner's depiction of Harvey's circus freaks is well done, too. He begins by simply making them speechless monsters in Harvey's festival of horror, but as the arc moves on and we begin to see where Wagner is going with the story, he begins to humanize them, until at the end when they're just people – people who look different than most people, of course, but still regular folk. He does this through their speech, of course, but it's nice how he manages it by subtly altering their body language and facial expressions.
The reason this is a great Two-Face story is because Wagner doesn't get into Harvey's duality in the traditional manner, with Batman trying to convince Harvey that he can overcome his evil side (he brings it up briefly, but it's not the focus). This is a much more interesting take on the way Harvey sees the world and the way people hide who they are. Many writers have focused on Bruce's obsession with masks (in the modern age, it's a particular pet theme of Doug Moench, but Denny O'Neil's initial arc on Legends of the Dark Knight delved into it quite a bit, too), but again, Wagner does it better than most. Even at the costume party, he doesn't wear a mask, simply dressing as Napoleon with an exposed face, but he's still playing a part. But Wagner gives much more "screen time" to Bruce Wayne than many writers, and that's always interesting to see. We get a good look at how the dual identities often dovetail in unusual ways – Bruce wants to buy a South American island from D'Urberville, the same one that Harvey wants to create a "utopia of freaks," a place where he and his circus brethren can live without the stares of the "normal." Bruce's involvement in the transaction is a MacGuffin – we never learn why he wants the island (he says "Privacy. Leisure," one of which he already has and the other of which he never partakes of) – but it allows us to see a bit of how he operates as a businessman and bon vivant. Bruce Wayne's interest in the island means Harvey must come into the open, setting the plot in motion. But the plot, as intricately as Wagner plays it out (and he always does this; it's one of the reasons why he's such a good writer), is simply a way for Wagner to delve into the idea of beauty and how that affects people. Nelson Wren is a success, but he's unattractive. When Manon shows interest in him, he loses all his inhibitions and falls into crime, mainly because he can't believe a woman as attractive as she would show an interest in him. Of course, she's not all she seems, because everyone in this comic is wearing a mask. D'Urberville is hiding something that, according to Harvey, makes him a hypocrite. Harvey's entire scheme is predicated on the fact that society ostracizes the freaks of the circus because they can't stand to face the imperfections in themselves (which leads back to D'Urberville's hypocrisy). But Wagner doesn't let Harvey off the hook – his problem is not that society ostracizes him, but that he cuts himself off from society. He encounters a circus performer with a "two-face" much like his, and he screams at him, "You're a freak!! A freak!!" and the performer responds, "But I am not a monster." Harvey's ultimate mask, if you will, is that he tries to hide his monstrosity from people by deflecting the blame onto society at large. Wagner does an excellent job showing us that Harvey is, at last, deluding himself. Nelson Wren and Paul D'Urberville might be hypocrites, but Harvey's as bad as they are. Too often writers focus on the tortured duality of Harvey's psyche, which isn't a bad tactic. Wagner shows that it's not quite as dual as Harvey would like – when he's confronted by something that doesn't fit into his world view, he's perfectly willing to allow the monster to win. Writers have gone back and shown the pre-Two Face Harvey as being a bit less sane than maybe is healthy, but Wagner doesn't need that – he's adept at showing it in the middle of an interesting plot.
The arc relies on a bit of knowledge on the readers' part – Wagner doesn't explain how Two-Face got this way, nor does he get into the idea that Harvey himself was an attractive person before his accident, which helps appreciate his machinations a bit more. But that's a relatively minor criticism, because Wagner is able, very quickly, to get across the themes he's working with and an astute reader can pick up on Harvey's insecurities as the arc moves along. It's always nice to read a superhero story that assumes the reader can keep up. Wagner doesn't stop for us, and it makes the arc move swiftly but still feel hefty.
"Faces" has been collected in trade, and it's well worth your while. It's an essential Harvey Dent story, not because it fills in any blanks of his life, but because Wagner digs deeper into Two-Face's twisted mind than most writers do. And it has that brilliant art, too! And be sure to check out the archives, because I'm gearing up to update them much more quickly than I have been!
Two-Face is an interesting character in that there are, appropriately, two major interpretations of him over the years. Up until the original Crisis, Harvey wasn't a dual personality, just a man who gave up all moral agency to his coin, to random chance. He had a duality obsession, yes, but his gimmick was that the coin made the major moral decisions in his life.
After the Crisis, Andy Helfer and Chris Sprouse reimagined him as a long-seeded dual personality, and the coin became the mechanism by which the personalities decided between themselves. Most comics writers since have gone with the post-Crisis interpretation, and have tended to suggest that the "evil" side is really more dominant than the good for any of several reasons. (Some, like Alan Grant, explain it as the scarred side of the coin being physically lighter and more likely to land face up, others, like Doug Moench and Chguck Dixon, by simply having Harvey's personalities split less between a good half and a bad half than between what you might call Lawful Evil and Chaotic Evil.)
The Animated Series of the 1990s split the difference, no pun intended, with Two-Face going on about chance-as-morality but also having distinct, multiple personalities. The Dark Knight film seems to have gone with a version of the pre-Crisis version, a man who loses faith in moral codes and resorts to random chance instead.
LOTDK: FACES is a classic, one of my favorite Batman stories from that particular series.
GOTHIC by Morrison and Janson, and BLADES by Robinson and Sale are the other two.
I'm still hoping that Matt Wagner will begin and finish the third part of MAGE trilogy opus soon.
I enjoyed "Gothic," but something is off about it. It was so early in Morrison's career that it feels more pretentious than it might warrant, although I love the supernatural aspects to it. If Morrison had written it ten years later, I think it might be a much stronger work because he was a better writer. It's nice and creepy, though, and I do like it quite a bit.
thought lotdk faces actully showed the true dept of why two face is the way he is. that matt dug deep and finaly fiugred out what really made two face tick and how like two face batman has another face. the mask. that bruce wears when he is the dark knight and the other mask he wears when he is business man. both wearing masks.
Matt Wagner's take may be my personal favorite Batman. Great choice.
Gothic is easily my favourite Grant Morrison Batman story. I don't know why, perhaps because it doesn't try too hard to be clever. Definitely the creepiest Batman story ever, too… The first 50 or so issues of LOTDK had a bunch of fantastic stories, looking back at them now the book had an very Vertigo-like sensibility compared to regular superhero books. Too bad it ended up as just another Bat title.
great choice. LOTDK was generally a solid series with quality creators. Faces is a standout.
The first 50 issues are generally solid reads. I think around issue 75 or so, the quality returned for a few years, before it tailed off again.
Wow, this looks great. I previously disliked Matt Wagner's Batman stuff that I read, but those books were recent and heavily referencing Jeph Loeb's Batman work which automatically made it suffer because of the Loeb influence.
Good one! I'll look fo rit. Others that I'm a fan of in this run:
#54: "Sanctum" by Mike MIgnola
#65 – #68: "Goine Sane" by JM DeMatteis and Joe Staton
Look those up!
I'll just add that this story and the first Batman/Grendel series (which is to say these days, the first half of the Batman/Grendel trade) are extremely similar in style and tone, and anyone who enjoyed Faces but hasn't read B/G really out to pick it up.
(The second story is also good, but based on a completely different style of Batman story..)
I remember buying the trade in the years before nearly every story arc got a trade. For all the reasons ou pointed out, the story deserved it.
"Count DeNance" – awesome or groaner? I say awesome.
Greg – this looks great – I'm going to pick it up. Thanks for the recommend!
i love this story. Greg, you've convinced me to dig through my long boxes. This needs to be reread right now.
I know what it led to, but Venom is one of my favorite lotdk arcs simply because we get to see Batman react in a very human way to a failure…and the problems that result from it.
Two Face has always been my favorite Bat Foe.
Can anyone help me on a vaguely remembered Two Face tale? It may have a Batman cartoon, or one of the comics in that style. That's how vague my memory of it is.
Dent is cured and about to be released, thanks to the support of his girlfriend and Bruce Wayne. But the Joker, in the next cell, starts playing Iago and convinces Harvey that his girl is two-timing him with Bruce and he relapses.
I remember almost being moved to tears, but that's about all.
Man, I gotta lay off the weed.
I was looking forward to reading this article when I saw those three covers, not realising I already own this in trade. I bought it on the strength of Trinity, and I liked it more. May have to re-read soon.
It's hard to single out specific arcs; those first few years of LotDK are very good overall.
This looks very interesting…
I also remember a very nice pre-crisis JLA, issue where Harvey took center stage. Was a JLA/JSA two-parter, can't remember the numbers..
Plus, I have to agree on "Gothic". It didn't do anything for me.
Morrison just didn't know which way he wanted to go, I think, so it's stuck at style and concept crossroads.
I'm a fan of the Legends ot the Dark Knight series. A couple more stories from the series that are really worth tracking down are Doug Moench & Paul Gulacy's two stories dealing with Hugo Strange in Prey (LOTDK 11-15) and the sequel Terror (LOTDK 137-141). Bryan Talbot also did an excellent two part psychological Batman tale called Mask (LOTDK 39-40).
There are other good stories in the run and a whole lot of excellent artists on the title. All in all, I think the book was pretty good, as it is completely removed from the soap opera and extended cast story lines which have come to dominate Batman. I think Batman has been a bit of a prisoner of his own success for DC, who has turned it into an X-Men type franchise with this enormous cast and detailed back story. For me, this is why I like this series and to a lesser extent the sequel series Batman Confidential, as it is just a Batman story book– don't need to know anything but start at the first page.
Personally, I think many comic characters are better when they are written as such, as a little bit of issue to issue continuation goes a long way. I think super hero comics are a bit too self-referential and obsessed with the back story now.
I'd also say that taken in total, Matt Wagner's work with Batman is a bit under the radar. I think pretty much everything he has done, including the Grendel cross-overs have been pretty good. I would love to see him get a shot at writing the regular book, but I don't think he is at all interested in the whole "continuity games" that current comics are hung up on.
I'd also LOVE to see Matt Wagner do a Batman series similar to Sandman Mystery Theatre actually set in 1939, starting at the beginning. Wagner and Guy Davis doing a Batman series like that Sandman series would be AMAZING and it would be so cool to see it set in that time period. A mini-series is fine, but something like that that actually had the space to run for a while and develop it out would be great.
As I much as I like Faces, Gothic is better and more deserving of this list IMHO. I'm actually thinking Gothic is one of Grant's more underappreciated arcs. It's a more straightforward arc from Grant with alot of subtle genius little touches to it. Lots of great references from Grant, like to Fritz Lang's M, and Don Giovanni, etc.

In this project I'm going to show you how to make a DIY television with the ability to display broadcast TV programs. It will also play movies with the help of a Raspberry Pi microcontroller serving as media center!
But first, a handy parts list:
The TV gets tensioned to the front panel (the one with the TV-shaped hole in the front!) Use the flat piece of wood with the two holes, then gently tighten a couple of #8 screws. I used 3-inchers, but obviously they're way too big.
Dab some glue on the teeth and stick the side panels on, keeping the flat side toward the bottom. The flat tensioner is the exact same width as the space between the two sides.
Slide the back panel on, but don't glue it in place. That's how we will access the inside.
The top and bottom should pop into place. Remember not to glue the back panel so you can get it off!
Connect the TV's wall wart to the black connector. Connect a RCA cable from one of the yellow plugs sticking out of the back (AV1 and AV2) and then to the yellow port in the back of the converter box.

AbstractCurrent production methods of tail booms for rotary-wing aircraft are expensive, inefficient, and produce hazardous byproducts. Conventional methods for production of high end composite parts are both labor intensive and expensive. Alternate methods, such as curing parts in ovens to eliminate expensive autoclave operations, still do not eliminate the high cost of the tooling that needs to withstand the high temperature cures. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the effectiveness of using 3-D weaving and innovative electron beam curing of polymer matrix composites for low-cost fabrication of low production rate, high-performance tail booms for Navy and Marine Corp rotary-wing aircraft. By using off-axis 3-D woven fabrics, the composites will have increased tolerance for torsional loads which are critical to helicopter tail booms. Furthermore, electron beam curing is less expensive, faster, safer, and produces higher performing parts then traditional curing techniques.

Maybe you think of "Jurassic Park" as the movie that surpassed "E.T." to become the biggest Steven Spielberg film ever, as well as one of the biggest hits of all time. Or maybe you think of it as the film that, through its landmark CGI dinosaurs, helped usher in the age of digital filmmaking. Or maybe you just think of it as the movie that scared the pants off you when you saw it in theaters two decades ago (the film marks its 20th anniversary on June 11) and every time you've watched it since on TV.
However you regard it, "Jurassic Park" has seemed a ubiquitous, inescapable fixture of pop culture for 20 years. And yet there are still things about it you may not know, such has how Spielberg chose his cast, how several teams of effects artists came together to build those pioneering dinosaurs, and whether or not it would really be possible to clone dinosaurs from ancient DNA as the geneticists in the movie did. Read on to unearth these and other not-quite-fossilized secrets from "Jurassic Park."
1. Spielberg, a lifelong dinosaur enthusiast who preferred the prehistoric lizards in "King Kong" to the big gorilla, learned about Michael Crichton's dinosaur-cloning tale from the author himself a year before he published his 1990 bestseller. The pair had been developing a screenplay based on Crichton's own early medical career. That project evolved into the long-running TV drama "ER."
2. That preexisting partnership with Crichton helped Spielberg to win the bidding for the movie rights to "Jurassic Park." Several other directors were in the running, including Tim Burton, Richard Donner ("Lethal Weapon"), Joe Dante ("Gremlins"), and (according to Spielberg) James Cameron.
3. Laura Dern, who played Dr. Ellie Sattler, recalled in Entertainment Weekly's recent oral history of "Jurassic Park" how Spielberg pitched her the movie: "I know that you're doing your independent films, but I need you to be chased by dinosaurs, in awe of dinosaurs, and have the adventure of a lifetime. Will you do this with me?" Her "Wild at Heart" co-star Nicolas Cage, who said he'd always dreamed of being in a dinosaur movie, urged her to say yes.
4. Richard Attenborough, who played park impresario John Hammond, was best known as a director of biopics ("Gandhi," "Chaplin"). Before that, he'd been a celebrated actor, but he'd put acting on hold after 1979, when his directing career took off. "Jurassic Park" marked his first role in 14 years, and it resuscitated his acting career at age 69, leading to prominent roles in "Miracle on 34th Street" (as Kris Kringle) and "Elizabeth," among others.
5. To cast Hammond's granddaughter, Lex, Spielberg auditioned a number of girls and asked them to record their screams. Ariana Richards recalled that she won the role because she was the only one whose taped scream was loud enough to awaken a sleeping Kate Capshaw (a.k.a. Mrs. Spielberg) and send her scurrying down the hall to see if her children were all right.
6. Joseph Mazzello, who would play Lex's brother, Tim, had enjoyed some success as a child actor ("Presumed Innocent"), but when he screen-tested for a role in Spielberg's 1991 film "Hook," the director told him he was too young. He recalled that Spielberg told him, "Don't worry about it, Joey. I'm going to get you in a movie this summer." Looking back, Mazzello (who would go on to star in Spielberg's World War II mini-series "The Pacific" as an adult) called the "Jurassic Park" consolation prize a "pretty good trade."
7. For the animatronic dinosaurs, Spielberg hired Stan Winston on the basis of his work creating the alien queen in "Aliens." Winston built the life-size lizards, including the Tyrannosaurus rex and triceratops. Spielberg hired stop-motion puppeteer Phil Tippett to animate model dinosaurs that would be superimposed in post-production, and Dennis Muren (fresh from creating the molten-metal morphing effects in "Terminator 2: Judgment Day") to see if dinosaurs could be created using computer-generated imagery.
8. In fact, the dinosaurs Muren created on the computer were the first major flesh-and-blood CGI creatures in movie history. When he screened for the rest of the filmmakers an early test of wire-frame dinosaurs in motion, Tippett realized he was out of a job. "I think I'm extinct," he told Spielberg, who liked the quip so much that he put it in the movie. (Actually, Tippett stayed on as an adviser to the computer animators, using his knowledge of paleontology and pantomime to instruct the effects artists in how dinosaurs should move.)
9. Spielberg also showed Muren's test footage to legendary stop-motion monster animator Ray Harryhausen. "He was absolutely enthralled and very positive about the paradigm changing," Spielberg recalled. "He looked at the test and said, 'Well, that's the future.'"
10. The velociraptors, however, were done Godzilla-style, with puppeteers in lizard suits. The man-sized velociraptors were much bigger than the real species, though shortly before the movie's release, paleontologists discovered a larger related species, the Utahraptor. Winston joked, "We made it, then they discovered it."
11. Sound designer Gary Rydstrom combined a variety of animal cries to make the various dinosaur roars. The cow-like brachiosaurus' bellow was a blend of donkey and whale. Whale sounds were also used for the Tyrannosaurus rex, along with the sound of a tiger, an alligator, and a baby elephant. For the sound the T. rex made when it killed the lawyer, Rydstrom used a recording of his own Jack Russell terrier grappling with a rope toy, played at half-speed. The most complex was the velociraptor, a mix of tortoise, horse, goose, walrus, dolphin, and African crane.
12. For all the work that went into creating lifelike dinosaurs, the lizards got just 15 minutes of screen time in the 127-minute movie.
13. The iconic shot of the water rippling in a cup in the car as the stomping T. rex approaches was inspired by Spielberg watching his car interior vibrate as he listened to bass-heavy funk band Earth, Wind and Fire. To create the water effect, he placed guitar strings under the dashboard and had a crew member pluck them.
14. Sam Neill, who played Dr. Alan Grant, has a scar on his left hand from the scene where he tries to distract the T. rex with a burning flare. Some flaming phosphorus fell from the flare and got trapped under Neill's wristwatch.
15. Before the last day of shooting, Hurricane Iniki, the most powerful storm in Hawaiian history, hit the set. The cast and crew were trapped in their hotel on Kauai. Spielberg helped bide the time by telling ghost stories to the kids. Others passed the time reading the only piece of literature they could find, a Victoria's Secret catalogue.
16. When the movie went into post-production, Spielberg was already in Poland shooting "Schindler's List." He supervised the effects work on his dinosaur thrill ride while filming the horrific Holocaust drama.
17. Despite the hurricane, the shoot finished 12 days ahead of schedule and on budget. It cost $ 63 million to make and another $ 65 million to market.
18. In its initial release, "Jurassic Park" earned $ 357 million in North America and a total of $ 914 million worldwide. That was enough to surpass Spielberg's "E.T." to take the record as the biggest hit movie of all time, a record it held for nearly five years, until "Titanic."
19. The film won Oscars for Best Visual Effects (shared in part by Winston, Tippett, and Muren), Best Sound Editing, and Best Sound Mixing (Rydstrom shared both of those). At the same Academy Awards ceremony, Spielberg won Best Picture and Best Director, Michael Kahn won Best Editor, and John Williams won Best Score — all for "Schindler's List."
20. Spielberg directed a sequel "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" in 1997. Joe Johnston filmed "Jurassic Park III" in 2001. A "Jurassic Park 4" has been on the drawing board for a decade but has yet to emerge with a cast or a workable script. It has a director, Colin Trevorrow ("Safety Not Guaranteed").
21. Even before Spielberg began filming "Jurassic Park," Universal Studios engineers were at work building "Jurassic Park: The Ride," an attraction at Universal Studios in Hollywood that opened in 1996 at a cost of $ 110 million (nearly twice what the film cost to make). Universal has since added an expansive "Jurassic Park" section to its Islands of Adventure theme park in Orlando, Florida.
22. To this day, Dern says she's recognized as "the girl who put her hand in the dinosaur poo." She adds that kids have refused to shake her hand, "as though I hadn't washed."
23. The CGI dinosaurs of "Jurassic Park" have had a far-reaching legacy, having convinced some of the world's most imaginative filmmakers that the technology finally existed to put whatever they saw in their mind's eye onto the screen. They led Winston and James Cameron to form the Digital Domain effects house, and it led Stanley Kubrick to collaborate with Spielberg on "A.I. Artificial Intelligence," the robot fable he'd dreamed of making for decades (Spielberg would finish the film in 2001, two years after Kubrick's death). They inspired George Lucas to make the three "Star Wars" prequels and Peter Jackson to make "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "King Kong," and the "Hobbit" trilogy.
24. In April, Universal released a 3D version of "Jurassic Park" in theaters. The conversion from 2D cost $ 10 million, and it earned the 20-year-old film another $ 45.4 million in domestic ticket sales.
25. Could scientists really clone dinosaurs from DNA in dinosaur blood found in mosquitoes preserved in amber? Probably not. For one thing, even petrified DNA would probably have degraded too much in the 65 million years since the last dinosaurs died out. Plus, there's no contemporary equivalent to a dinosaur egg in which to incubate the embryos. Still, Jack Horner, the paleontologist who served as a consultant on the film, said he thought it might be possible to genetically modify a chicken embryo to activate dormant genes for dinosaur-like traits. Not quite the same thing, alas.

After Richards took on her most famous role as Lex Murphy in "Jurassic Park," she appeared in a few television shows — including "Boy Meets World" — and made-for-tv movies throughout the '90s. Ultimately, she decided to leave Hollywood behind, and went on to earn a B.S. in Drama and Fine Arts from Skidmore College in 2003. She now lives in Oregon and makes a living as an artist. She also recently got hitched. Congrats!
- Sam Neill (Dr. Alan Grant)

The Irish-born actor appeared in a number of films before 1993, including "The Hunt for Red October," but he earned commercial and critical recognition for "Jurassic Park." He played main character Alan Grant, one of the world's leading paleontologists. After the blockbuster, he appeared in various movies and TV series. In 2012, he landed a role in the Channing Tatum/Rachel McAdams drama "The Vow," and had a recurring role on J.J. Abrams's recently cancelled TV show, "Alcatraz."
- Laura Dern (Dr. Ellie Sattler)
- Laura Dern (Dr. Ellie Sattler)
Dern gained recognition at a young age for her role in the 1980 film "Foxes," also starring Jodie Foster. She appeared in several other movies in the '80s and in 1992, she was nominated for an Oscar for her role in "Rambling Rose." Then came "Jurassic Park." After her stint as a dinosaur-lover, she gained acclaim for her roles in movies such as 1999's "October Sky," and "I Am Sam," opposite Sean Penn, in 2001. She won a Golden Globe for her role as a self-destuctive woman who has a spiritual awakening in the HBO comedy/drama,"Enlightened," in 2012. The show, however, was recently cancelled.

Goldblum got his start in the New York theater scene at 17 years old. After a string of movies in the '80s, including "The Fly" and "Invasion of the Body Snatchers," the actor took on leading roles in some of the biggest blockbusters of the '90s, including, you guessed it, "Jurassic Park." He went on to star in a number of other hits such as "Independence Day." Since then, he has been a recurring presence in both film and TV. He most recently had guest-starring roles on "Glee," "Law and Order: Criminal Intent," and "Portlandia."

- Lord Richard Attenborough (John Hammond)
Before playing, arguably, his most famous role in "Jurassic Park," Attenborough was an accomplished director and producer. He won two Oscars for "Ghandi"(1983) in the Best Director and Best Picture categories. After "Jurassic Park," Attenborough became very busy with everything but acting. While he did appear as Kris Kringle in the 1994 remake of "Miracle on 34th Street," he soon shied away from the camera to focus on things such as directing, becoming the head of various organizations including BAFTA, and opening an art exhibit filled with his vast collection of Pablo Picasso pieces. The now 89-year-old retired from the film business after a fall in 2008 left him wheelchair-bound, and according to recent reports the actor is in failing health.
- Joseph Mazzello (Tim Murphy)
- Joseph Mazzello (Tim Murphy)
Mazzello started acting at the age of five, and since his famous role in "Jurassic Park," he has steadily appeared in TV shows, most notably the HBO mini series "The Pacific," and movies, including 2010's "The Social Network," where he played one of Mark Zuckerberg's Harvard roommates, Dustin Moskovitz. The New York native also earned a degree in cinema and television production from USC. The former child actor can be seen now in "G.I. Joe: Retaliation."
- Martin Ferrero (Donald Gennaro)
- Martin Ferrero (Donald Gennaro)
Martin Ferreo played buzz-killing lawyer Donald Gennaro in "Jurassic Park," but you probably know him better as, "the guy who got eaten on the toilet." Since his infamous role, Ferrero hasn't been very busy in Hollywood, though he did appear in both "Heat" and "Get Shorty" in 1995. His most recent venture was actually a 2011 College Humor spoof of "Jurassic Park," in which he reprised his role as the ill-fated Gennaro.
- Bob Peck (Robert Muldoon)
The British actor appeared in more than 20 TV dramas in the U.K. before his role in "Jurassic Park." Peck was known as a highly adaptable actor to his peers, but he unfortunately passed away in 1999 at the age of 53 after a long battle with cancer.
- Samuel L. Jackson (Ray Arnold)
- Samuel L. Jackson (Ray Arnold)
After his role as Jurassic Park visitor center worker Ray Arnold, Samuel L. Jackson fell into obscurity and no one ever… just kidding! In case you didn't know, since the film, Jackson has busy becoming the coolest man in Hollywood. He's an Oscar nominee who has appeared in some of the biggest movies of the past 20 years, including "Pulp Fiction," the "Star Wars" trilogy, and "The Avengers." He also has several projects in the works including, "Tarzan," "Nick Fury," and DreamWorks's "Turbo."
- B.D. Wong (Henry Wu)
- B.D. Wong (Henry Wu)
Wong played Henry Wu, the lead geneticist in charge of creating Jurassic Park's dinosaurs. Since his days of producing prehistoric monsters, Wong has appeared in a wide variety of TV shows, including "Oz" and "Awake." His most notable role, however, was that of Dr. George Huang on "Law and Order: SVU." He played the character from 2002 to 2012.
- Wayne Knight (Dennis Nedry)
- Wayne Knight (Dennis Nedry)
Both prior to, and after his role in "Jurassic Park," Wayne Knight played Newman, the object of Jerry Seinfeld's loathing in the sitcom "Seinfeld." Since the show's end in 1999, Knight has appeared mostly on TV shows including "3rd Rock From the Sun," "Hot in Cleveland," and "The Penguins of Madagascar." He also had a run on Broadway as Santa in the musical version of the movie "Elf" in 2012.
- Steven Spielberg (Director)
- Steven Spielberg (Director)
The dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park" were not the first creatures Steven Spielberg had a hand in creating. The legendary filmmaker directed the non-human-centric movies, "E.T.," "Jaws," and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," before getting his hands on the movie's prehistoric monsters. As you most likely know, Spielberg continued his career as one of Hollywood's most well-respected and influential directors, writers, and producers after "Jurassic Park" wrapped. He went on to win Best Director Oscars for "Schindler's List" (1993) and "Saving Private Ryan" (1998). He was nominated in the same category for "Lincoln" at this year's Academy Awards. He is currently the producer of popular TV shows such as "Smash" and "Falling Skies." His next projects include producing the movies "Interstellar" and, of course, "Jurassic Park IV."

At CCA we recognize that not everyone has the ability to put their life on hold, pick up the family, and move to California. This is especially true for international students.
Ayurveda, which literally means "The Science of Life," is the healing science from India. It has been practiced for over 5,000 years by millions of individuals to assist the body in journeying back to optimal health. [¿What is Ayurveda?] [Ayurveda articles]
Program will be offered March 13-17, 2015 in the Bahamas and September 16-20th 2015 in California
The online ayurveda training course offers the flexibility for students to take the program from home, without leaving their work or personal responsibilities. The program will begin in both formats in April, 2015. For more information, please call (530) 478 9100.
The program offered via the distance learning program is being offered by the California College of Ayurveda in 2015
"The physiology of the human body is governed by three main forces, which are commonly known as the three doshas. Although dosha literally means faulty or to cause harm, they only do so when they are functioning abnormally. When functioning normally, they maintain the good health of the body and guide all the normal bodily processes.
Hmmm….Junk food. Do you find it hard to resist? Or perhaps not?

My SO was fired from his job today. He has worked for the same franchisee owner going on 4 years now. He has never been wrote up, late to work nor has he ever called out. Only time he has ever left work early was they day i went into labor. He worked as a General Store Manager the entire 4 years and it was a very high stress job.
Now onto the point of this post, he went into his meeting today ( have one every other monday, which is payday as well ) the owner called him from the meeting room and took him into the office. He asked my SO a few questions on how much he valued his job and what not, toward the end of the conversation the owner showed my SO a screen shot of a status he posted on Facebook 2 weeks ago. The status was along the lines of saying " sick of working for this shitty company, about ready to say fuck it and mostly everybody who worths there ". Then owner says he takes that to personal offense and is dissapointed as SO has always been one of his best managers. He ends the conversation by saying its time to seek other employments, your dismissed from my office and to hand over the store keys.
My SO was blown away that he was fired over this and now is out of a job over a personal rant on his facebook. He is going to seek un-employment as he searches high hell for another job. He has been our main source of income all this time and my income from working will barely pay the rent.
So wise BHB can he get unemployment? Possibly Sue the owner?

Gaby's Caf� in Ellenville has all the expected trappings of your family Mexican restaurant — the stucco-effect; citrus-colored walls studded with pottery and sombreros; and Mexican blankets fashioned into drapes. My dining companion and I were seated near a window overlooking a handful of sidewalk tables and the Shadowland Theatre across the street. It seemed the recent downpours were keeping customers away — we were the only diners.
Since I grew up in Austin, Texas, I'm pickier than most when it comes to Mexican food this far north of the border. Thankfully, the days of canned guacamole seem to be far behind us, but I am not entirely sold on the now de rigueur practice of preparing guacamole tableside, to order ($9.95). We told our waiter that we'd like medium heat, but ended up with an extremely spicy and underseasoned guacamole. This likely was a result of the waiter's inexperience and an inability to sample the appetizer he was preparing.
The complimentary chips and salsa were passable; I always hope for homemade chips, but they are rare. The salsa tasted like a combination of fresh cilantro and onions with a canned tomato base. I was pleased to find that my margarita was made with fresh lime juice and not a saccharine-sweet mix. It was served, however, in stemware of a characteristic blue-edged handblown glass, the saucer of which was so large it seemed clownish. While we waited for our entr�es I tried to ignore the large flat-screen television perched on the wall above us — thankfully the volume was low.
I noticed that Gaby's menu suffered some cultural schizophrenia. Sprinkled throughout the traditional Mexican selections were hints of Italian and American cuisine. Items such as mozzarella sticks and fried calamari were tucked in amongst the nachos. Other non-Mexican choices included fried chicken and french fries ($13) and burgers.
I first thought this was possibly to placate those with an aversion to spice, but an earlier version of Gaby's menu on its website shows an entire section of pasta selections in a mash-up of Spanish and Italian: "Spaghettis para la Cena." Gone are the veal parmesan and penne a la vodka — in their place is an expanded selection of quesadillas.
The Fajitas a la Gaby ($15.95) arrived sizzling madly on a cast-iron skillet — a tantalizing, heaping portion of shrimp, chicken and skirt steak mixed with sliced peppers, onions, zucchini and mushrooms. The meat was well-seasoned, and the shrimp bore a slight char that made the fajitas even more flavorful. The refried black beans sprinkled with queso fresco were silky and rich, accompanied by the requisite rice, almost always an afterthought. I only had two small complaints regarding the fajitas: The tortillas were not house-made or particularly fresh, and I had to request sour cream and pico de gallo.
My companion greatly enjoyed the smoky, nutty mole of the Enchiladas de Mole ($14), which also came with beans and rice. There are as many kinds of mole as there are types of curry, and Gaby's mole had a pleasant tanginess. The chicken inside was tender and moist.
Though we were the only customers, we encountered a surprisingly long wait before our dessert order was taken. It seemed our server was already thinking about getting out the door for the night. We chose to share the flan ($4.50) for its classic nature, passing on the more American options of chocolate mousse and cheesecake. The flan was satisfying, denser than most — almost cheesecakelike in texture — but buttery and sauced with a flavorful, toasted-sugar syrup.
Gaby's Caf� competently prepares favorite Mexican dishes at reasonable prices and has something for every taste. Just keep a watchful eye on your server if you order the guacamole. A little jalape�o goes a long way.

I was looking for a free wp theme related to videogames that could be suitable for my blog, when I found the free theme Atari Command. I wanted something a bit more personal and I contacted the author Jeff Rothe to ask him if he could customize it for me. Jeff Rothe did it for a very affordable price in a few days changing the header for one of my choice based on the arcade game Super Bug. Although the blog is in Spanish I would apreciate comments on the design.

Hey, I'm Katrin!
A couple with a small baby. At the moment Katrin is a stay at home mom on a leave from work. Normally she works with elderly people as a psyio. Loves her job!
Sjúrður is studying. He quit his job and sat down on the schoolbench again as an "old" man and hopes to become an engenier in 2019.
We have been using airbnb on trips and think this is the best idea -ever!
This way of traveling you not only get to see all the hot spots of Copenhagen, but get to hang out with locals.
We love to give a chat over a cup of coffie and during weekends, we normally sit as long as possible at the breaksfast table and chill and chat. And we would love to have our guests to join us.
Depending on our energi in weekdays, we also normally invite our guests for a meal and (again) a chat.
We love to hear about other cultures and about your way of living.
Also it is important for us that you feel at home while you stay here.
Hope to see you soon :)

I'm using this Script http://valums.com/ajax-upload/ to get Ajax upload working with Ruby on Rails
but when i try uploading a file on my controller action I only get this:
Parameters: {"qqfile"=>"Foo.png"}
{"qqfile"=>"Foo.png", "action"=>"ul_file", "controller"=>"upload_files"}
but i cant use this as a file and do things as
thefile = params[:qqfile]
foo = thefile.original_filename.slice(thefile.original_filename.rindex("."), thefile.original_filename.length).downcase
what do i need to do to get this script working with Ruby on Rails?
///////// Updated
This is how the JS looks Like
var uploader = new qq.FileUploader({
// pass the dom node (ex. $(selector)[0] for jQuery users)
element: $('#file-uploader')[0],
// path to server-side upload script
action: '/NzzT/upload_files/ul_file'
