'X-Men: Days of Future Past' comparisons to 'Terminator' have it backwards
Alan Markfield, Twentieth Century Fox
See if this sounds at all familiar: A lone soldier from a dystopian future where sentient, anthropomorphic robots have hunted the last defenders of freedom to the verge of extinction is sent back in time on a mission that could make it so that the future never happens.
Whether you identified this as the premise of the new X-Men movie, "Days of Future Past," or Arnold Schwarzenegger's "The Terminator," you'd be right.
To put it mildly, the two share some striking similarities. In fact, that rough (and, admittedly, intentionally vague) synopsis isn't even the extent of it.
In both futures, people are being rounded up and forced into internment camps.
Prisoners are forcibly tattooed for identification.
Both "The Terminator" and the comic version of "Days of Future Past" involve nuclear holocausts.
Also in the comics, one of the robots, called Sentinels, follows a different X-Man (Rachel Summers, the daughter of Cyclops and Jean Grey) back through time a la Schwarzenegger's cyborg, where it's mistaken for a human in a costume and actually becomes, for a little while, a hero. Close enough for you?
Even the visual style used to portray the two dystopian futures is eerily similar.
It's no wonder, then, that "Days of Future Past" is garnering so many comparisons to "The Terminator."
As Adam Lowes of Cine-Vue.com mentions in his review of Fox's comic book adaptation, director Bryan Singer "can't help but plant some visual and thematic nods to the first two 'Terminator' entries."
The thing is, though, the two-issue story by the creative team of Chris Claremont, John Byrne and Terry Austin that constitutes "Days of Future Past" ("The Uncanny X-Men" Nos. 141-142) was actually published a full three years before "The Terminator" came out — three years before lines like "I'll be back" cemented Ah-nolt's place in movie history.
So in all fairness, instead of saying the new X-Men movie is like "Terminator," people ought to have been saying James Cameron's sci-fi franchise was like the X-Men comics all along.
But even though "Days of Future Past" is only now getting its moment in the spotlight thanks to the new movie, which unites pretty much every cast member who's ever appeared in an X-Men film plus a few new ones for good measure, the two-part comic is widely regarded as one of the seminal story arcs in X-Men history.
In 2001, it was voted to the 25th spot on a list of Marvel's 100 greatest stories. And since its publication in 1981, other creative teams have revisited its dystopian future over and over and over again.
Of course, the new movie diverges from the comic in some pretty significant ways — chief among them being that it's Wolverine's consciousness that goes back in time, not fan-favorite character Kitty Pryde, aka Shadowcat (portrayed in "Days of Future Past" and "X-Men: The Last Stand" by Ellen Page).
The movie is also said to function as a "passing of the torch," more fully establishing a new generation of X-Men, including "First Class" alumni James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, who appear alongside the older incarnations of their characters (Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan, respectively).

great beds. well maintained. quiet.
definitely an older property
Ocean Front View
Booked a room on the main floor due to mobility issues when we arrived our room was on the 2nd flr. We were offer the only room on the main floor that was available it was the last one yet to be renovated and updated. WTF??? Why would we take that?? The upstairs room must have been updated years ago! If we liked we could also upgrade to a king room as they were in a section of the resort that had an elevator but that would cost an extra 80.00 a night from what were paying. We took the room on the second floor and did the stairs. We felt we were being punished with the leftover, last on the list dumpy room because we used an online service to book.
Most uncomfortable beds we have ever had at any place we have ever stayed. Not sure how old the mattresses were but I haven't seen ones like that for many many years, my parents owned a resort 30 some years ago and they looked very familiar even the handles were falling off. When we inquired at the front desk the next morning about what could be done with the terrible mattress we were told that a lot of people like a harder mattress and they offered to put on a foam topper, as well move us to a main flr room. We returned from a day out our suitcases had been moved to a new room but they never put the topper on the same ugly worn out hard mattresses, Mgmt said that they didn't have anything for the queen rooms only for the king beds and there was really nothing they could do except maybe put a few comforters down as a topper??? Needless to say we did not stay the second night and checked out instead of suffering through another sleepless night. Basically the facility had beautiful grounds well cared for but the rest of the place minus the lobby was dumpy and run down .
We loved the Hydropath and the waterfront view. The staff were friendly and welcoming.
The restaurant was a bit pricey and the food was just okay.
While I was there the pool was closed for maintenance. Other than that it was quiet and clean.
Clean, good location, comfortable beds, breakfast included
Probably the best hotel we have ever stayed in. Excellent in every sense.
The room we stayed in was like a little apartment. It was new and clean and very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.
Would have preferred a gas fireplace instead of an electric one.
Beautiful extra large suite with a full kitchen, beautiful bathroom and comfortable beds. Very quiet tranquil scenery.
Needs a make up mirror in the bathroom. And better resort information at check in, where the restaurant is etc. as the hotel is split up in to villa's (separate buildings).
We loved being able to hear what the people upstairs in the hallway were doing, as well as the rooms the other side of us.It was very romantic for our honeymoon hearing the big trucks going over the bridge right outside our window all night keeping us up
It was probably a one star facility that we had seen billed as a four-star. The hotel room was small, the bed uncomfortable. The room advertised a bar fridge which did not exist. The soaps etc. in the washroom were tiny and of poor quality. Bad experience
poor sound insulation to upper floor

I wrote the author of this plugin and requested assistance. He was quick to respond and was able to help me with a customization. Overall it works fine.
Does exactly what it should. More customization options (such as different up arrows) would be nice, but for a free plugin, it is great. Thanks!
I use this on a lot of installs. It's super easy and pretty customizable. I think it could do with a few less JavaScript based options and just provide more CSS coder support instead. I'm big on using CSS properly and occasionally I have to spend some time doing tricks to get my CSS to overwrite Smooth Scroll Ups built-in CSS. This is particularly challenging with the transitions. Other than that, this plugin is a great time saver, and usually one I use automatically.
Oh, and great support too!
This plug in works quite well. Only you need to change some of the CSS to achieve a look which ties in with your page design (colour, size, etc.). Best to overwrite it in your child theme!
BTW: instead of using an image I simply inserted the HTML font symbol code for an "up arrow" (↑ or ⇧) and styled the font accordingly. You can find the codes here: http://character-code.com/arrows-html-codes.php
Only reason no 5 star is there are no instructions to customize. Would love to change the font, color, etc to match my theme but there are no instructions included to do so.

The United States has not ruled out meeting with a newly formed Syrian rebel alliance, a senior US official said Monday, even though the group wants to replace the regime with an Islamic state.
State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf did not however confirm weekend reports that US officials were preparing to meet this week in Turkey with the Islamic Front.
"We wouldn't rule out the possibility of meeting with the Islamic Front," she told reporters, adding she had "nothing to announce at this time."
Six opposition groups came together last month to form the Islamic Front, which now represents Syria's largest armed opposition grouping some tens of thousands of fighters opposed to President Bashar al-Assad.
Last week, the Front overran the northern headquarters and two warehouses belonging to the US-backed Syrian Free Army, causing Washington to cut off non-lethal aid to the main secular military opposition in the north.
"If at some point we discuss this with the Islamic Front, we would expect that non-lethal assistant be returned," Harf stressed.
She did not confirm either that any such talks would be led by the US ambassador to Damascus, Robert Ford, who has been actively working behind the scenes to shore up the Syrian opposition and the Syrian National Council.
Washington has stressed that it is already meeting with a broad section of Syrian groups to try to end the nearly three-year war through negotiations, but has explicitly ruled out any contacts with groups linked to Al-Qaeda or designated as terrorists by the US.
Harf said the Islamic Front was "an alliance of prominent Islamic groups in the Syrian opposition," adding "we can engage with the Islamic Front, of course, because they're not designated terrorists."
Last month, the Islamic Front said that it wanted to set up an Islamic state in Syria, but insisted it would protect minorities and not create an "oppressive, authoritarian system."
Syria's uprising began as a series of peaceful pro-democracy protests in March 2011, but a brutal regime crackdown ignited a full-blown civil war in which hardline Islamist groups have taken on an increasingly prominent role.
US Secretary of State John Kerry said in a weekend interview that Syria was now "a huge sectarian... mess."
Washington has not yet resumed supplies of non-lethal military aid to the rebels in northern Syria, fearing the supplies might fall into the wrong hands.
But Harf again stressed that "in no way this is indicative of some sort of drop in support" for the opposition and its Supreme Military Council.
The US meanwhile condemned a Syrian regime air raid on Monday which unleashed barrels packed with explosives on Aleppo, killing 76 people.
"The use of those bombs further underscores the brutality of the regime and the lengths it will go to attack and kill its own people," said White House spokesman Jay Carney, adding the barrel bombs were designed "to cause mass casualties."

|ESPN.com: World Classic 2006
|[Print without images]
Orza provided background before the game between Cuba and Puerto Rico in the final week of the second round.
"We still don't know if we will make money, but this event was not about money in its first edition. This is about developing baseball and creating roots for the future," Orza said.
The World Classic is organized by Major League Baseball and the union, with the support of the International Baseball Federation and the World Antidoping Agency.
The tournament began March 3 in Tokyo and Japan, and it will end Monday in San Diego.
Puerto Rico hosted parts of two of the three rounds.
For the first time in professional baseball, the best players all over the world have had the chance to represent their countries. Sixteen countries from five continents were divided in four pools in the first round.
As of Tuesday, 512,773 fans had paid tickets to watch the games in Tokyo, Orlando, Arizona and San Juan, and television ratings have been strong. More than 100,000 fans are expected for the semifinals Saturday and the final Monday at Petco Park in San Diego.
Orza said that the organizers have already confirmed the tournament's continuation, which will take place every four years.
"The tournament has a bright future," said Orza.
"Everybody involved in the tournament thinks the World Baseball Classic has been a total success," said Lou Menendez, vice president of MLB operations.
Baseball's vice president of public relations, Pat Courtney, said he had spoken to commissioner Bud Selig about the Classic's success.
"He had good expectations about the Classic coming in, but they have been exceeded as far as television audience, merchandising sold and the fans' support. It really has been extremely positive," said Courtney.
Enrique Rojas is a reporter and columnist for ESPNdeportes.com and ESPN.com.

SOURCE: Parrish, Timothy L. "Denis Johnson's Jesus' Son: To Kingdom Come." Critique 43, no. 1 (fall 2001): 17–29.
In the following essay, Parrish examines the recurring themes of transformation and redemption in Jesus' Son, drawing attention to Johnson's preoccupation with transcendence.
At the end of Denis Johnson's first novel, Angels, the lawyer whose client is about to be executed for murder experiences a revelation about his future career and, ultimately, his identity. He recognizes that he is still young enough to be the elected official "to something or other" that he had assumed he would eventually become, but he realizes that his client's death has changed him. Instead of achieving respectable political office, he knows that he will "probably continue the rest of his life as a criminal lawyer because, in all honesty, a part of him wanted to help murderers...

Politics One Toke Over State Lines
posted by November 22 at 15:40 PMon
This morning, the Washington Supreme Court upheld a lower court's criminal conviction of a woman who used medical marijuana to treat chronic pain. Unlike the slew of medical marijuana stories that have splashed across news pages in recent months, this case is different.
The debate wasn't about whether medical marijuana is a legitimate therapy; it wasn't about federal law trumping state law; and it wasn't about the quantity of marijuana a patient may grow or possess. It was about a technical glitch in Washington's Medical Use of Marijuana Act, created by Initiative 692, which was passed by voters in 1998. The Justices wrote in their majority opinion:
The initiative could have, but did not, define a qualifying doctor as one with a valid license from any state. Instead, it defined qualifying doctors as those licensed under Washington law. This was a deliberate choice, and Tracy gives us no statutory reason to find that the language does not mean what it appears to say.
Only qualifying patients are entitled to the defense under the act. … Among other things, qualifying patients must be patients of qualifying doctors. … Since Tracy was not a patient of a qualifying doctor, she is not entitled to assert the defense.
The problem began when Tracy visited California to care for her mother who suffers from cancer. While she was there, a California-licensed doctor gave her an authorization to treat her pain symptoms with marijuana.
But just as Thanksgiving travelers probably aren't thinking twice about using their prescription medications while visiting other states, Tracy probably didn't think twice about whether her doctor's authorization was good in Washington. After all, she had a recommendation from a doctor, as specified by state law.
But the devil is in the details. Washington's High Court cited a clause in the medical marijuana act that defines a "qualifying physician" by referring to a completely different statute. Basically, the Supremes held, since the doctor was from out of state, the authorization was bunk.
Fortunately, the problem can be easily patched by the Washington legislature during their upcoming session. "We are working with lawmakers to develop legislation that would carry out the voters' intent to protect sick people who are using medical marijuana therapy under a doctor's supervision," said the ACLU of Washington's Legislative Director Jennifer Shaw. The Olympia session begins on January 8th.

Straight for Equality in Columbia, Maryland
The workshop helped people to step back out of their "PFLAG comfort zone" and think about things from a potential ally's perspective. Better understanding this perspective is the first step to learning how to best approach and work with straight allies. Reexamining the way that we do things can be a difficult but necessary process in trying to work with straight allies and keep them engaged.
Overall, it was a great meeting (and Julie's first PFLAG meeting!). Many thanks to PFLAG Columbia/Howard County for their warm welcome and all of the hard work that they are doing.

Clamp for Wires
When I'm soldering wires for speaker connections or sprinkler-valve controls, I hold them in place with springs that are screwed down at one end. I stretch the spring, place the wire in the coils, and release. The springs hold the wires tightly, are easy to adjust, and help dissipate the heat.

Inside Baseball
WHATEVER ELSE IT proves to be, the pending deal between the Twins and the state of Minnesota is one of the more fascinating chapters in the sordid history of the business of baseball. Is the Pohlad proposal a good deal for the state economically? Not at all. A week ago Carl Pohlad and his boys told a press conference that the state would reap half the profits while assuming no risk of loss; the details of the deal, as revealed in Pat Sweeney and Jim McCartney's excellent St. Paul Pioneer Press package on Sunday, make it clear that the opposite is closer to the truth. If and when the Pohlads dispose of their controlling share, the state would be obliged to cover their entire investment in the club, including accumulated operating losses and the $82 million "contribution" they have so generously pledged toward a new stadium. So the agreement as it stands would amount to paying about three times what the team is worth for the privilege of sharing profits that may or may not materialize while assuming all of the risk for safeguarding the Pohlad family's past and future investment. That could nearly double a $200 million-plus stadium investment.
It would serve to assure that the team stays in Minnesota for some time to come, and there lies the real quid pro quo: that assurance in exchange for the Pohlads' guarantee of recouping all their moneys regardless of baseball's future economic health. As one analyst told the Pi Press, "This is a political deal masquerading as a set of economic opportunities." And it's not a very smart political deal: It's unlikely that the Pohlads or any subsequent buyer would move the team once a new and more lucrative stadium had been built for them, so why underwrite the Pohlads' investment just to get a legal stipulation to that effect?
All the talk about the minutiae of the package this week has served to obscure a more basic issue. It's highly doubtful whether Major League Baseball is going to approve any deal that involves public ownership. In the past it's come up at least three times. In 1985, the city of Pittsburgh looked to invest $15 million in the financially strapped Pirates for a piece of equity. In 1989, Joan Kroc proposed to give the Padres to San Diego, along with a $100 million operating endowment. And at one point George Steinbrenner floated the idea of doing a public stock issue on the Yankees. Each time, baseball said no.
The other public ownership deals cited in press reports, you will note, are in other professional sports. Baseball has a unique history of labor troubles in which the owners' position has always been predicated on pleading poverty while refusing to let anyone into their books. Public ownership would mean a public window on baseball's real money picture. And it's hard to see why the owners, having just concluded a bloody three-year contretemps with the players' union, would choose to do something that might weaken their position in future fights.
Nor is that the only sticking point. Last Friday I rang up Marvin Miller, the man who created and for years led the Major League Baseball Players Association. It's no stretch to say that Miller knows more about negotiating with the lords of baseball than anyone else alive. "In a very real sense," he said, "control is the issue here. Guarding their books is part of it, but that's not all. In the era when Walter O'Malley ran baseball, he did so because he overmatched the other owners. He could not overmatch a city or a state. In fact, the Dodgers left New York because he could not overmatch New York City; he couldn't get what he wanted from them, so he moved. Then, too, these owners' meetings get pretty frank, and it would be hard to sit in one of those rooms with representatives of a city there and say, 'We think it's a great policy to try to bust the union and shut down baseball.' I don't think the owners want to put themselves in that position. Moreover, I'm pretty certain there is a standing rule against ownership of a major league club by any political entity."
Basic as it seems, that last point is a subject of some confusion. (My call to the American League counsel's office wasn't returned by press time.) If there is such a rule, it could be changed, but that presumably would require the approval of three-fourths of baseball's owners to ratify. A simple ownership transfer takes less--two-thirds in the affected league, a majority in the other.
By all accounts, Carl Pohlad has considerable clout with other baseball owners, so it's conceivable that he has the means to get the deal done. It seems far more likely that it will be rejected by baseball after the Legislature has already passed a stadium package. Then would come some manner of bait-and-switch--such as a compromise version of "revenue-sharing" that tried to finesse its way past public scrutiny of the Twins's finances. In other words, paper promises that would come down to the same thing we started with, which is free money for the Pohlads. This little drama is far from concluded.
THIS FRIDAY BELL Curve perpetrator Charles Murray will be in town to speak at the Center of the American Experiment. I mentioned this to a friend the other day, and he reminded me of a little-told story from Murray's past. Near the end of his high school days in Newton, Iowa, Murray and some of his pals went out one night and burned a cross next door to the police station. To my knowledge, the reams of coverage accorded Murray for his pseudo-scientific apologia on behalf of racism have produced only two mentions of this incident. One was in a 1994 New York Times Magazine profile, the other a bit later on the Donahue show. In both instances Murray protested that he had no idea as to the racial significance of cross-burning. There were only two black families in Newton in those days, an old school chum of his added in the Times piece. Well. As it happens, I grew up just 30 miles away from Murray's central Iowa hometown, in an even smaller farming town with no black families at all. But somehow I managed to learn what cross-burning meant by the time I finished high school, and I expect Murray did too.

Bridge construction may close Bayou Lafourche near Leeville
Published: Tuesday, July 10, 2007 at 2:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 10, 2007 at 2:44 p.m.
THIBODAUX - The Greater Lafourche Port Commission will decide tomorrow at approximately 8 a.m. whether construction on a new bridge will close both channels of Bayou Lafourche near Leeville to all vessel traffic for roughly two weeks.
Typically during bridge construction, primary contractor Traylor/Massman has worked on bridge segments that allowed one of the two channels to remain open to vessel traffic, but upcoming concrete work requires the use of a barge mounted crane that could temporarily force the bayou's closure.
Bayou Lafourche near Leeville is a main thoroughfare for fuel deliveries, oil field deliveries and commercial fisherman. The decision will come in the midst of shrimp season.

Fernhill, Sunshine Bay and Glenorchy were cut off for more
than two hours last night after a large Lombardy poplar tree
was blown down by high winds, blocking Lake Esplanade in
The tree, understood to be about 120 years old, crashed on to
seven cars and also hit a corner of the Lakeside Motel's roof
but fire crews said no-one was in the vehicles or had been
The tree, which was growing in lakeside St Omer Park,
collapsed during high winds just before 7pm damaging the
cars, some more than others. English visitor John Davies,
caught a glimpse of the tree coming down.
''I heard a massive thud and crash and I looked around just
as the rest of it was tumbling.''
Mr Davies said he checked up and down the street before
running up to Bumbles Backpackers, where he was staying, to
use a phone to call for help ''but somebody had managed to
sort that out''.
He said there was no-one on Lake Esplanade when the tree fell
and emergency services were ''on the scene pretty quick''.
Acting Sergeant Terry Erceg, of Queenstown, said there was
concern about other poplars in the area. About five motels
had been evacuated by about 8pm and there were problems
looming ''with people needing their medications''.
Emergency tape was initially set up around the fallen tree
but the cordoned-off area seemed to grow larger after every
big gust of wind, as fire crews and police feared another
poplar could fall.
''I heard those ones cracking,'' Acting Sgt Erceg said,
looking at the trees being battered by the gale. Traffic was
banked up extensively on both sides of the fallen tree last
Council contractors chainsawed the tree into smaller pieces
and by 10pm the road had been re-opened.
Queenstown Lakes District Council senior communications
adviser Michele Poole said arborists were happy after their
visual assessment of the other trees in St Omer Park last
night but a more detailed investigation would be made today.
In 2009, Queenstown farmer Russell Liggett was killed metres
away from his own driveway on Lower Shotover Rd when his
Toyota Hilux was crushed by a 20m poplar tree blown down by
high winds.
In May 2010, the QLDC applied for resource consent to remove
a 30m high poplar tree in St Omer Park because it had been
deemed a danger to public safety by an arborist.

March on Washington showcased religious roots of Civil Rights movement
Rieder, who examined the letter's origins and significance in the book "Gospel of Freedom," said the epistle, partly written from a dimly lit jail cell, played a key role in awakening a broader white audience both within and without the church to how segregation contradicted Christian, Jewish and overall American values of equality and justice.
Rieder explained that the religious leaders and activists who sat on the rostrum at the Lincoln Memorial represented a "confluence of a major part of the black movement with the larger ferment in American Christianity and Judaism" collectively standing up against a status quo of racism that they argued had no theological or constitutional justification.
Morris said there was also a practical purpose to broadening the movement's base of support beyond the black church. Organizers said the event would attract 100,000 to the nation's capital, which would require the participation and resources of others, and King saw religious groups as potential allies.
"They were needing allies from many different groups, and with the movement rooted in moral and religious precepts it made a great deal of sense to reach out to various religious groups," Morris said.
The speeches
The other religious leaders participating in the March on Washington program were as aware as King of the influence faith would have in stamping out racism on a national and local level.
"If all members and all ministers were indeed ready to stand and march with you for jobs and freedom for the Negro people, together with all the Roman Catholic Church and all the synagogues of America, the battle for full civil rights and dignity would be already won," Eugene Carson Blake, clerk for the United Presbyterian Church USA and vice chairman of race relations for the National Council of Churches of Christ in America, told the throngs that reached to the Washington Monument.
Mathew Ahmann, executive director of the National Catholic Conference of Interracial Relations, asked listeners to search their souls to determine how much longer they could tolerate discrimination and injustice.
"Who can call himself a man, and take part in a system of segregation which frightens the white man into denying what he knows to be right, into denying the law of his God?" he asked.
Expressing empathy for black Americans and their history of oppression, Rabbi Joachim Prinz recalled the Jewish people's suffering as slaves in Egypt and their persecution during the Nazi regime in Germany while citizens there looked on in silence.
"America must not become a nation of onlookers. America must not remain silent," Prinz said. "It must speak up and act, from the President down to the humblest of us, and not for the sake of the Negro, not for the sake of the black community, but for the sake of the image, the idea and the aspiration of America itself."
All the speakers, both religious and secular, conveyed the consistent message that segregation and discrimination were everyone's problem, not just the oppressed. But it was King's address that remains the most powerful and inspirational, articulating the sins of past and present America and describing what the future could hold if the nation would rid itself of racism.
Lischer, who wrote about King's life as a preacher and reformer in the book "Preacher King," said the Baptist pastor's speech drew from past sermons he had given and was refined to appeal to a larger audience beyond a congregation of sympathetic black believers.
Among the borrowed elements is the famous "I have a dream ..." segment, which Lischer said dated back to King's sermons in the late 1950s and was used shortly before at a gathering in Detroit. That lends some credence to the story that King launched into that part of his speech — which was not part of his prepared text — at the prompting of gospel singer Jackson, who called out from her seat on the rostrum, "Tell them about the dream, Martin."

Birmingham, England -- A British scientist says society must investigate the possible harmful effects on the brain of the Internet, social networking sites and computer games.
Neuroscientist Susan Greenfield said the issue was "almost as important as climate change," The Daily Telegraph reported Wednesday.
"I think the quality of our existence is threatened," she said. "We need discussions about this, we need debate, we need more of an effort put in."
She made her remarks at the British Festival of Science at Aston University in Birmingham.
Some "very good things" were coming out of burgeoning information technology, she said, but "we have got to be very careful about what price we are paying."

I have been doing some looking around, and experimenting with code from others on the forum, but I haven't found anything yet that applies to my particular situation.
I have my home page set to the blog, and the rest of my website done using static Pages (wordpress pages). I want the loop to show only on the blog (home page), and not on my static pages. I have been trying various tricks with the is_home() and the is_front_page() functions, but I'm really not much with php (yet!).
It seems to me that I should be able to use a conditional with one of those two, and just put it around the loop code. But everything I try has failed.
Could someone help me out?
Here is my loop code (nothing fancy):
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_date('','
','
'); ?>
<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?>

<?php _e("Filed under:"); ?> <?php the_category(',') ?> — <?php the_tags(__('Tags: '), ', ', ' — '); ?> <?php the_author() ?> @ <?php the_time() ?> <?php edit_post_link(__('Edit This')); ?>

<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
<?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)')); ?>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

<?php the_content('Read More »'); ?>

Price $529,000 in January 2006 [$718.92 maintenance]
Square feet 500 [junior one-bedroom co-op apartment in pre-war building]
Occupant Nicholas Leighton [executive director, not-for-profit cancer research organization; owner, Emerald Energy products]
Emerald Energy! I'm just about to make some. It's probably been the busiest week of my life. The cancer research organization was on the Today show. I had 482 voice mails today. Last night, I had 1,000.
Why is Emerald Energy orange? I mix it in vegetable juice. Here, this will do it for you.
[Swallow] More protein than beef. It tastes like nothing. Technically this is a studio, but in the '80s, this wall was built, making a bedroom. This apartment is in one of the four corner buildings, the London Terrace Towers co-ops. In between are the Gardens, the rentals. They can use the pool for a fee.

I read that a tenant was thrown out because he had sex in the pool. I think there were other reasons he was removed. I've only been here for three days.
That's why we're sitting on the bare floor in an empty room. Though by the time the photographer gets here, you'll have your furniture. The building went co-op in 1987. I've only been here for three days. It was funded right before the stock market crash in 1929. The owner jumped off the building and killed himself.
This wide pile is like a person who has spread. They're sighing. What were you expecting?
I have been here before. I was just reflecting. Only a few buildings are the size of a full city block in New York.
They call it a white-glove building. It was for people who wanted all these amenities, fancy middle class. London Terrace has this whole reputation that it's like a fortress. It's not like some Upper East Side co-op. There are many with an artful, political sensibilityAnnie Leibovitz, Stephin Merritt, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn. Ethnically, economically, it's pretty diverse.
People in their seventies and eighties were in your lobby. It may have just been a moment in time. Niceinstitutional memory.
Susan Sontag was the queen on top of the mountain. Below were all her subjects. And now . . . I was lucky. I bought from original owners so no board approval or having to put down 20 percent. It's very standard for co-ops to require 20, 30, even 50 percent. Condos allow more flexible financing but they're more expensive per square foot. A major percent of Manhattan apartments are co-ops. So because there're less condos and they're easier to buy, they're just more expensivesupply and demand. Because condos are real property, there's mortgage tax which for me could have been upwards of $10,000. Did you see the view of the Statue of Liberty? I had no light before. I was at 10th near University, the Albert.
You're a pre-war person. I'd want to put in crown molding here some day. I grew up on the West Coast. I painted the walls pebble gray. It's almost like shadow. Some people, they envision their wedding. I envision mid-century modern. I have a Florence Knoll sofa. It's really uncomfortable but it's OK. It's seven feet long. I have a baby grand.
What do you sing on your piano? I play Chopin, Debussy.
Oh. I have little paper in the house. I scanned the contents of 25 file drawers on a flatbed. It took seven days. The crystal candy dishes are Oswald Haerdtl. I inherited them from my grandfather. The second wife had very expensive taste. The other night I had friends over for a vodka tasting. I've had tonic water tastings, vanilla ice cream.
You're so social. In the future, I'd like to do butter.

Dianna Cogswell who plays out of Nana Chelle's in Bovey, MN was drawn for the February perfect attendance. Dianna showed up all four weeks at Nana's by doing so she has won a spot at National this Summer. We will be drawing for the March perfect attendance in a couple weeks. Remember even if you are out of the points race there are many, many different ways to get qualified for Nationals!
We recently drew for the two pair or better drawing for March. The card that was pulled out had a pair of kings and five's. We turned the card over to find out that the person that scratched if off failed to put any info on the back of the card. It was completely blank. So we drew a second one out and the lucky winner was Rick Sathre from Tower, MN. Rick was the beneficiary of having someone turn in a blank card and then getting his card drawn. Congrats Rick you are heading to Las Vegas for the National Championship!
Bradley Beachene from St. Paul, MN was recently drawn for our 2 pair or better drawing to get qualified for the Casino Royale National Championship in Las Vegas. Bradley turned in trip 7's to get qualified. Pack your bags and get ready!
Virginia Schenck who plays out of the Lakefield VFW in Minnesota last month won the spring regional online tournament. Viriginia was the winner of the her regional in the southwest corner of MN to get qualified. She then competed against all other regional winners and took them down. It's only about a dozen person tournament so it's a very valuable opportunity to get qualified for the National Championship. Make sure to keep that in mind with the upcoming regionals in October which most have been posted. Congrats Virginia, see you in Vegas!
Long time player Craig Morningstar from Rich's bar in Annandale, MN was the big winner in July. He showed up all five Wednesday's at Rich's bar and was drawn for the July perfect attendance. Just by showing up he has won a spot at the National Championship in Las Vegas! Congrats Craig!

For My Little Pony fans and Monopoly fans, the two have come together in the My Little Pony Monopoly from USAopoly. Gameplay is the same as in the original game of Monopoly only with a My Little Pony twist. Classic properties have been swapped for locations, vehicles, and elements fans of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic will recognize, such as Cutie Mark Clubhouse, Sweet Apple Acres, and Canterlot. Friendship Express, Hot Air Balloon, Zeppelin, and Royal Chariot have replaced the classic railroad spots on the game board. Chance and Community Chest Cards have been substituted with Mayor Mare cards and Discord Cards. Game tokens have also been replaced with colorful My Little Pony figurines including the characters Twilight Sparkle (pre-princess status), Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack (without hat), Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash.
This is a game that is best suited for My Little Pony fans, who will enjoy the whimsical twists on this classic game board and its detailed illustrations. This game also offers a high degree of collectibility for fans, despite the plastic-versus-traditional metal game tokens.
My Little Pony Monopoly is for fans ages 8 and up.
Jail and Parking spots on the game board remain unchanged.

Has Iran stopped funding Hezbollah?
Hezbollah is facing an economic crisis stemming from its involvement in the Syrian civil war, and budget cuts in Iran as a result of new president Hassan Rouhani's austerity policies, Lebanese sources say.
According to a report from the London paper Asharq Al-Awsat, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei continues to fund Hezbollah through his separate budget, though the Iranian president stopped the government's flow of money to Hezbollah five months ago during the reorganization of Tehran's Foreign Ministry.
Adding to Hezbollah's problems is close monitoring of funding sources by American and European countries, the report stated. For example, on Tuesday, Germany outlawed the Berlin-based fundraising group Orphaned Children Project-Lebanon because it was found to be transfering money to Hezbollah. The sources in Lebanon said that "there are continuing American-European efforts to cut off the organization's funding."
Lebanese media also reported that European intelligence agencies have recently been cooperating in efforts to prevent the transfer of funds to Hezbollah, especially from South American and African countries. This European effort comes after several charity organizations in Europe were found to be attempting to transfer funds to the Shi'ite organization. Money transfer freezes have been placed on individual Lebanese citizens who live in Europe as well, since they have been marked as "potential routes" for transferring money to Hezbollah.

Have you had your fingers burnt when hiring PR agents or agencies? Did they tie you into an expensive six-month retainer but didn't deliver the results you were expecting? Or do you just want to do your own PR but don't know where to start?
Fear not – here are my secrets on how to get into the press.
When I first started on my entrepreneurial journey, a friend (who runs The Mumprenuers Networking Club) said something that really struck a chord. She said: "Every day you must do at least one promotional activity in order to drive customer and brand awareness".
So with those words ringing in my ears, I really went to town and mastered how to get into the press.
Through huge amounts of perseverance I secured press coverage in many of the major glossies and national newspapers. Here's my step-by-step method to ensure you get results.
Once you have got into the press, make sure you say thank you to the journalist. Then add the piece to your website and share it on social media.
Copyright © 2015 Amanda Ruiz is the founder of www.amandaruiz.co.uk. She runs online courses for entrepreneurs that want to get press coverage.
You have a fabulous service, brand or product that you, your family and friends and a growing band of customers love — but why can't you get the press to fall in love with your offering?
You may fall into one of these categories:
The feeling of overwhelm can be powerful. But as a business mentor told me at the very beginning of my entrepreneurial journey, you need to do some promotion on your company each and every day. If you aren't going to do that, then no-one will (unless you pay a PR agent). So go and do what you do best — enthuse about your business to interested parties.
If you have already had some press coverage by being spotted at an event or via Twitter, you must ensure that you maximise this opportunity as much as possible. Firstly, thank the journalist for their piece — you never know when you may need to speak to them again.
The next step is to politely ask them for the PDF version of the news story. If you can't get hold of this then buy the publication and include a scan of the piece in a dedicated Press section on your website. You could also add the newspaper or magazine logo to your home page to give you extra credibility. Then share the image or promote a link to the coverage across your social media platforms.
When you are in the thick of running your business, you often neglect to articulate your USP. It's worth asking friends and customers to take part in a focus group to establish what makes your business special. These are the kind of questions you should be discussing:
Once you have done this brainstorming, I can guarantee you that some lovely golden nuggets will have appeared. Now use this information to write a simple sentence that describes what your company does. Don't forget to include your golden nugget. This sentence will then work as your elevator pitch, whether you are selling, networking or pitching to a journalist.
Amanda Ruiz is known as the ultimate door opener. She is the founder of www.amandaruiz.co.uk, a marketing and PR agency.
If you run your own business you need to juggle many balls — the financials, stock, display (online and offline), networking, social media management, staff… the list goes on.
But one thing that all entrepreneurs must try to keep on top of is brand awareness — so that new customers can discover you easily and so that your existing customers feel good about seeing your company getting mentioned in the press. This kind of visibility will encourage customers to pick up the phone and order your product or services again.
Press coverage is free editorial — not paid-for advertising. If you haven't tried to get press coverage to date, here are 12 essential steps that will help you get your company some valuable media coverage in 2014.
You will need to roll your sleeves and go for it, because if you don't employ a PR agent (either in-house or on a contractual basis), then no one is going to do it for you. The fact that you are passionate about your product or services is a great start.
So let's dive straight in and get some press for 2014.
1. Have a thick skin and be persistent: you could get plenty of push backs, but keep on trying, don't be put off by rejections from journalists, the next journalist you call may love your product.
2. Be creative: try and think outside of the box to come up with interesting angles for your media approaches.
3. Have confidence: pick up the phone. If you believe in your product and are passionate about it, that's half the battle.
4. Good images, both high and low resolution, are essential.
5. Strong copy: make your words punchy and to the point in order to catch attention.
6. Prepare your website: add a new page with links to your images and the news you are promoting.
7. Buy the target magazines or newspapers or read them online to find out more about their approach and to get the key contacts details.
8. Follow journalists on Twitter: You will see up to date information on what they are covering. You can also check out these two hashtags: #journorequest #PRrequest.
9. Identify your story: Is it a product launch? Profile piece? Case study?
10. Come up with a grabbing headline and use this in your email subject box and as the title for the press release.
11. Use statistics where possible, this gives credibility to your story. Provide a quote and if possible get one from a satisfied customer as well.
12. Always say thank you to the journalists when they publish your story.
Good luck and go for it!

I've been using the plugin for a while now, however I'm suspicious of the accuracy of the Who's Been Online page. It doesn't seem to be recording all the visitors correctly. For example now the new day has just started, it's showing 4 visits (including bots), when my actual stats are showing 14 visitors. The discrepancy is larger on all previous days which have ended with a lot more visitors.
Is there any reason this could be happening?

Hey Rob -
Awesome plugin - but I have encountered an issue.
I'm trying to figure out why thumbnails AND a large image both show up in my Feedburner feed.
Anything you can suggest? I have found other folks online that have a similar issue, but no resolutions.
Thanks in advance,

Nvidia: Bug Warning for Linux Driver 180.29
Nvidia's proprietary graphic driver 180.29 can, under certain conditions, turn your Fujitsu Celsius H270 notebook into a brick.
Nvidia manager Andy Ritger writes on the nV News Forum: "Please note that the NVIDIA 180.51 Linux graphics driver fixed an interaction problem that resulted in corruption of the internal flatpanel's EDID:" The Extended Display Identification Data is the structure provided by a computer display that describes its capabilities to a graphics card, e.g., manufacturer information or the size of display.
The Nvidia driver overwrites this information, leaving behind a pile of trashed data that stays put even after a re-boot. The inbuilt BIOS is unable to recognize the display which causes the system to crash. Even with an external display, the PC will refuse to start the operating system.
Affected users should contact Fujitsu's technical support. Other Celsius H270 owners should update to 180.51 or newer as soon as possible. Here the bug has been fixed, just as in the 185.19 beta version.

With news today that the Harvard Book Store (not affiliated with the university) is up for sale, I took a walk past one of the only blocks in Harvard Square that's virtually unchanged in at least the 30 years I've been passing by, Massachusetts Avenue between Plympton Street and Bow Street. Pick up a book at the HBS, get a burger at Bartley's and finish off with a Scorpion Bowl at the Hong Kong.
