Hey everyone,
I'm going with a friend from out-of-town to dinner tomorrow night. I'm considering taking advantage of restaurant week if we could find the right fit (and reservations!). Here are the conditions.
-Spicy food is out of consideration.
-My friend was hoping to eat somewhere that was characteristic of/unique to New York. So, we're not looking for an expensive Steakhouse, for example.
-An inventive menu would also be a plus. I've looked at several menus that just have basic salmon and chicken dishes as entrees: this is not preferable.
-I'd like to go somewhere where we're getting a bang-for-our-buck, where 35 dollars is cheaper than their normal dinner.
I hope those conditions aren't too limiting...Any suggestions?
Thanks for the help!

They should be sued for deceptive advertising to begin with. They ABSOLUTELY DO NOT clean up after every procedure. The mess they leave after every job is unbelievable. That, however, is the least of everything. They will show up to start, IE to dig the hole. Then not show up for weeks, (or as in our case, months), to do the next step. It took 9 months from the time the hole was dug until the time water was put in. We are now having problems with the equipment, and no one is coming to help.
When you call them, they will be more then happy to help you in the beginning, but try getting through to anyone after the problems begin, or to find out why no one has come for weeks, the phone will not even be answered. Even arranging a meeting in person at their office is just to appease, and hold you off. We sent emails to managers, sales people, and to Keith Stuart; (I will not even call him "Mr.") No response. NONE. The lack of any response to all of these complaints should be a clue.
Only with the subject of going public and calling lawyers will you get a response. And even then, the attitude is "bring it on". They figure you won't go through with lawyers because you have so much already invested, you can't afford a lawyer. In our case they are wrong. The attitude of Keith Stuart is unbeleivable. He is a crook, and a nasty one at that. No apologies for the delays, no excuses for the problems, nothing. Basically a "screw you", I've got your money, and we'll get to you when we get to you....if they ever do. He's running a ponzie scheme in the form of swimming pools. Takes the original down payment of a new customer to continue a job for someone in the back. (Just my opinion)
If you check, I'm sure half the people that go to work for them don't last very long. If they do, I don't know how they can sleep at night knowing what this company does to consumers. In the 11 months since our first meeting with a salesman, we have gone through 4 foreman, NOTHING is in house. Everyone is a sub.
I don't know how they have any good reviews. They must do a good job ever so rarely, or have friends and relatives write them. My advice to anyone still thinking about this company is to not rely on the references THEY give you. Find out EVERYONE who has had this company do a job in all different counties. How long did it take to complete from the time the permit was taken out to completion. How satisfied were they with the work, and would they give a recommendation. The name of the subs (companies) they have doing the work, and are THEY even getting paid. I know for a fact,there have been liens placed on properties even after the pools have been completed.
I know if I would have done this, I would not be writing this right now. PLEASE, PLEASE, do not make the mistake we all did.

A couple of days passed and I checked my bank account...low and behold, they added a new $23.90 charge to my bank that they didn't include in my booking. I called right away to find out what it was and they said "oh..its for "Assistance Fee"" First of all, I did not ask for assistance, secondly, I did not authorize any of these charges. The customer service lady did not hesitate on taking it off immediately. They are probably used to getting calls about this problem.
Please..do not use this company to book flights..they will charge you up the roof for additional fees. Better to just book it directly at the airline's website.
CheapoAir..if you are reading this, please change your website to be not so screwy and bait-ish! You will attract more lawsuits with this type of operations.

Daniel is being charged with Daisy's mysterious disappearance based on the his blood being on her scraf. Michael withdrew from the case and put Heather on it. Daniel is in jail.
No one can find Eden.
Paul apologized to Ricky about his suspicions that Ricky was involved in Daisy's disappearance.
Eden was set to have drinks with Ricky but left.
She asked a maid to let her in Ricky's room and she snooped. There she found Daisy's cell phone and wallet under a chair cushion. She put them in her knapsack.
Ricky came up and found her in his room.
He tried to convince her to have something to drink there. Then her knapsack fell and the wallet and cell fell out. Ricky got mad and the chase began. Into the bathroom, a struggle and Eden fell banging her head on the tub edge and getting knocked out. Ricky then wrapped up Daisy's wallet and phone and put it in the maid's trash cart.
Ricky was getting ready with a sharp knife to kill her when Paul walked in and caught him in the act.
There was a heated emotional discussion/demands and Ricky blamed Paul for everything wrong in his life (narcisstic personality trait). Ricky admitted to killing girlfriend Rachel and had said something about Daisy, but it was not specific. Ricky told Paul to go away and Paul turned but then turned back with Lauren's gun pointed at Ricky. As Ricky got up, there was a shot, and Ricky fell backwards through the window.
We will learn about Ricky and Eden's condition.
If Ricky is dead, then it might be a while before we learn about Daisy or even Tim Reid.
Ricky, Daisy, Tim -- are they dead or alive?
Ricky should live a bit and then on his deathbed admit his wrongs and say what happened to Daisy.
Or maybe Daisy will show up and tell the story but who would believe her?
Craziness -- why would Ricky kill Eden in the GCAC suite bathroom? That would be sort of messy and tell tale. What is he doing with such a big knife in his room, did he get it from the kitchen downstairs?
Maybe Daisy is under the bed? or in the closet?
GCAC -- not a good place to be with bombings and a high dead body count (Ji Min Kim, Hightower . . .)
And remember, GCAC is for members only! Would you want to be a member?

"There is no way of knowing. A small toy gun can sometimes fool the best of us. When officers respond to an emergency, they have to make a split-second decision; when all you see is the top part of a potential weapon, there's no way to tell a difference."
"It is only a fool that will put his house in order & then allow his country to go astray,for his house he thinks he has put in order shall never know peace."
"If Americans believed in this Bible's hell, they would have hung George W. Bush and Dick Cheney for war crimes instead of re-electing them."
"Mankind shouldn't be afraid of artificial intelligence. It is inevitable that one day it will become self aware and starts developing notion of emotion and fell in the very same trap of being emotionally fool and will no longer be intelligent..."
"A fool stares up looking at the sky stating its the limit, a idiots look down at the ground stating a strong foundation is all that's needed, a jaded person looks behind him saying the past is always present and a determined person looks ahead ignoring all else around him. A wise man looks in all directions analyzing the 360 view of his goals and not forgetting his past, his foundation, his limits or his focus on achieving what his desires"

The Sun Rising
by John Donne
Stanza 2 Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
Lines 11-14
Thy beams, so reverend and strong
Why shouldst thou think?
I could eclipse and cloud them with a wink,
But that I would not lose her sight so long.
- We promised ourselves we would hold off as long as we could, but it's time for a lesson in medieval cosmology. Though there was a lively debate among intellectuals of the time, the prevailing belief was the old Ptolemaic model of the earth at the center of the universe. Then everything else in the sky rotated around the earth in its own sphere. The bigger the sphere, the higher and more important it is in the chain of being, and has control over the smaller spheres. It was also all mixed up with religious beliefs, so that stars and planets were seen as holy, or at least closer to God, the "prime mover" who set everything into motion. That's a lot of explanation for the use of the word "reverend" in line 11 to describe sunbeams, but it will keep coming up, so we thought we might as well.
- Donne shows his knowledge of recent scientific discovery in talking of the sun's beams. It was a recent idea that humans saw objects because of the light cast on them. You can see in other poems by Donne references to "eye beams," the metaphorical light our eyes cast on objects.
- Seeing "beams" followed by "strong" gives a metaphorical sense of wooden beams, making the reference feel less frilly and more solid.
- But then Donne reverses our expectations to mock the sun again. It looked like he was saying something nice there in line 11, but line 12 reveals the verb and the rest of the question: "Why would anyone think that?" Once again, Donne withheld the verb and changed the normal syntax to create an effect on the reader.
- That question is like a hypothetical proposition that needs a proof. And like any good attorney, Donne is ready to prove his case. Why do I dare to insult the sun? Well, says line 13, because if I just close my eyes then all those sunbeams disappear.
- His argument is really clever. He went out of his way to talk about how solid the sun's beams are and now in one phrase we see that they are actually totally insubstantial.
- He also keeps up the sun metaphor in his bragging. He makes himself greater than the sun because his eyes can "eclipse" and "cloud" the sun's beams.
- Line 13 also features some really lovely sound effects. Notice the alliteration with hard "c" sounds at the beginning of the line and softer "w" sounds at the end.
- The fourteenth line reminds us that this is a love poem. It's like when a guy is trying to defend a girl's honor by standing up to some tough guy. At some point, they always forget about the girl and just start bragging and comparing their biceps.
- But here in line 14, Donne leaves off his attack of the sun to say something sweet—and maybe a little cheesy. He says that he could eclipse the sun with a wink, but if he did, he would have to take his eyes off his beloved and he just doesn't know if he could stand it. (You might be able to see our eyes rolling just a little bit.)
Lines 15-18
If her eyes have not blinded thine,
Look, and tomorrow late tell me,
Whether both the Indias of spice and mine
Be where thou left'st them, or lie here with me.
- Donne maybe stretches it a little in making a clever paradox in line 15. He tells the sun that if the beauty of his lover's eyes has not blinded the sun's eyes, then the sun should take a look around.
- First, we aren't so sure about the sun having eyes—kind of a weird metaphor. Second, do you really want someone to take one look and your girlfriend and be stricken blind? Yikes.
- Let's give the guy some credit, though. He's saying that just as the sun is so bright and radiant that one look can blind you, even the sun can be blinded by the brightness and beauty of his lover's eyes.
- Then things get even weirder. He is still commanding the sun: "Look, and tomorrow late tell me," but he now claims that if the sun were to go look around the world, it would find that everything now resided inside this one bedroom. This is the part when we shake our heads like Scooby-Doo. The whole world has just collapsed into a single room?
- The Indias mentioned in line 17 are the East and West Indies. The East Indies was a broad term for the entire Indian subcontinent and was a land prized in the eyes of traders and poets for its valuable and exotic spices. The West Indies were the newly discovered Caribbean Islands that were thought to be rich mining opportunities.
- It is almost as if Donne is playing a trick on the sun, flaunting his power over it. Remember, the sun has the divine right to rule over the earth, to take care of it. Donne asserts the sun's control in line 18, saying that the sun is in charge of leaving countries just as it finds them, but then he teases the sun: "you won't find them there! I have taken them and now they are here with me."
Line 19-20
Ask for those kings whom thou saw'st yesterday,
And thou shalt hear, All here in one bed lay.
- Line 19 is parallel to line 16—the narrator commands the sun to check up on its kingdom. In line 16, he told the sun to tell him tomorrow what he saw; in line 19 he tells the sun to remember the kings he saw only yesterday. Basically, "Now you see them, now you don't."
- Donne has also switched senses. In the previous parallel example, Donne commands the sun to look with its eyes. Here his command is for the sun to ask around and "hear" what's going on. Poets like to shake up their sensory images.
- Here's the weird part of the metaphor: he reiterates the same claim he made before about the Indias, that all the kings of the world can now be found in his bed. That's a pretty bizarre and not so pleasant image.
- So Donne ends the stanza having made one strange claim—that he is even stronger than the sun—and backed it up with a logical argument. But he makes an even stranger claim to close the stanza—the whole world is now located in my bed. In the last stanza, Donne tells us how this is possible.

Laptop/Tablet Recommendation
The University of Kentucky strongly recommends that each student purchase a personal laptop computer or equivalent tablet device. A student's program requirements, budget, and preference should be the primary factors in choosing a laptop/tablet. Most laptops on the market will meet basic needs; however, UK offers a few guidelines. A student should also consider the major he or she will be pursuing, as some areas of study may have more stringent requirements than the recommendations listed below. We have also included some Frequently Asked Questions to help guide you in your decision.
Minimum suggested laptop computer hardware:
- Processor: iSeries 1.8 Ghz or higher
- RAM: 8 GB minimum (16 GB preferred)
- Hard Drive: 250 GB minimum (500 GB preferred)
- Wireless card: 802.11n minimum (802.11ac preferred)
- Operating system: Most recent version for your hardware (Please check with your College/Program Contact for any specific OS requirements)
- Up-to-date anti-virus / anti-malware software, preferably installed before coming to campus
- Webcam (many laptops come with an integrated webcam and will not require an external device)
- Headphones or headset with microphone
- Other helpful options:2 GB or higher USB Flash Drive, external hard drive (for data backup/extra storage), wired or wireless external mouse, video out adapters (dvi/hdmi), and a laptop security cable
Minimum suggested tablet computer hardware:
- Processor: Dual Core 1.3 Ghz or higher | Apple A5 or higher
- Storage capacity: 32 GB or larger
- Operating system: Most recent version for your hardware (Please check with your College/Program Contact for any specific OS requirements)
Because tablets have less storage than laptops, tablet users with high-speed Internet connectivity can use UK's virtual desktop and application solution (www.uky.edu/VirtualDEN) to expand the number of applications available to them. See further below in this document about the software this service provides. Also, many tablets have HDMI or USB ports for connecting external monitors, keyboards, mouse, headset, and other devices.
College Specific Requirements
Some colleges have specific requirements in addition to these. Please visit the student information section of the UK Purchasing eBuy portal for college contacts and links (www.uky.edu/Puchasing/ebuy/student.php). The site also provides students with information that allows them to purchase equipment and software at a discounted price.
Other Considerations
Other considerations when purchasing include warranty, accidental damage plans, display size and resolution, weight of the hardware, battery life, and charging options. A warranty may help if the laptop/tablet experiences problems in the first years of ownership. The student should consider the most appropriate warranty for his or her needs and whether an accidental damage plan would be beneficial. Each student should also consider where and how he or she will carry and use the laptop/tablet and how to keep it charged.
Visit https://download.uky.edu/ to learn about software available free of charge or at a reduced rate.
In addition to downloadable software, students with high-speed Internet connectivity can access myVirtualDEN (Virtual Desktop Environment), which provides access to general student lab software on any UK student's personal device (desktop, laptop, tablet). This allows anywhere, anytime access to a number of Windows applications, including SAS, SPSS, Microsoft Office, and Adobe products. See www.uky.edu/VirtualDEN for more information. Mac users can access myVirtualDEN software just as easily as PC users.
Note: Through the use of additional software, Apple computers can run the Windows operating system either natively or as an emulated device; however, there is no supported way to run Mac OS X software on non-Apple hardware.

 Using Modified Soil Quality Index for Determining Ponds Bottom Soil Quality Status of Aquaculture Area BLUPPB Karawang West Java, Indonesia http://macrothink.org/journal/index.php/jee/article/view/8553
The impact of aquaculture activities has led to environmental degradation, especially ponds bottom soil quality. The purpose of this study was to assess the status of the ponds bottom soil quality in different aquaculture systems (traditional and intensive) in BLUPPB Karawang region in a flexible value of soil quality index (SQI). Twenty ponds consisting of 5 traditional of milkfish (Chanos chanos) juvenile rearing ponds and 5 traditional polyculture ponds, 5 intensive of Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp ponds lined with plastic mulch and 5 intensive L. vannamei shrimp earthen ponds. Variables of soil quality parameters examined include physical, chemical and biological of pond bottom soil. Sediment ponds with a depth of 5-10 cm were taken for analysis. Data statistically analyzed using Anova, continued with pos hoc test HSD Tukey. The results showed the ponds soil quality (SQI) of BLUPPB Karawang area has an average of 0.38 ± 0.02 or included in low criteria. Aquaculture systems were not significant (p> 5%) to the general status of ponds soil quality. Aquaculture systems (intensive and traditional) only gave a significant different (p<5%) to the parameter of soil bulk density, c-organic, total N, C:N ratio, total S, total P and soil respiration. Stability of the ponds bottom soil chemical compositions over time make level of intensity does not significantly affect, beside routine sediment removal at the end of cycle in intensive culture.

The methods have used to study animal population must be defined clearly at the beginning of the project. We compared line transect and point count survey methods to estimating the density of grey squirrel at University of East Anglia campus (UEA), Norwich-United Kingdom. Across the entire UEA campus we surveyed 0.43698 ha of the 146 ha of the campus area. A total of 21 squirrels were observed during survey between 21st-26th in December 2013. Nine individuals were observed during line transect and twelve individuals were observed during point counts. The average number of species detected was differing between the two methods. Density estimates of grey squirrel from the two methods were different. Densities of grey squirrel as estimated by point count surveys were higher than those by line transect count surveys. Our results indicate that it is important to account for different survey methods when comparing the two methods to estimate the grey squirrel.

Var. conomon) Genotypes for Pest and Disease Reaction under Northern Dry Zone of Karnataka http://macrothink.org/journal/index.php/jee/article/view/9630
Cucurbits are the group of vegetables belongs to the family Cucurbitaceae. Oriental pickling melon (Cucumis melo var. conomon) is one among the melon group vegetables belongs to Cucurbitaceae family with a chromosomal number 2n=24. It is also called as golden melon or culinary melon in English. In Karnataka it is called by local names as Sambar Southe, Mogghe kayi or Mangalore southe. A field experiment was carried out at University of Horticultural Sciences Bagalkot, Karnataka to study the reaction of oriental pickling melon to fruit fly pest, diseases like powdery mildew and downy mildew disease. The results revealed that least infestation of fruit fly was recorded in Sirsi Local (40.00 %) followed by BCMCO-01 (41.30 %), BCMCO-02 and BCMSO-03 (41.75 % each). Highest infestation of fruit fly was recorded in Sirsi-2-13 (65.07 %) followed by BCMSO-04 (59.90 %). Among the genotypes, none of them had showed resistant to infestation and found susceptible to fruit fly attack in unsprayed condition. Least infestation of powdery mildew was found in Mysore Local (37.71 %) followed by Sirsi Local (37.99 %) and BCMSO-03 (39.76 %). Whereas highest mildew in GR-3 (46.08 %) followed by Sirsi-1-13 (45.81 %) and BCMCO-02 (45.75 %). Least infestation of downy mildew was observed in BCMCO-02 (14.00 %) followed by Sirsi Local (16.29 %) and BCMSO-03 (17.43%). Highest infestation was found in GR-2-1 (27.07%) followed by GR-4 (26.58 %) and GR-4-1 (26.23 %). Most of the genotypes were moderately susceptible to downy mildew disease.

Studies into indigenous knowledge of African societies and their eco-system, and complemented by western research findings in recent years, point to a common fact that there is a complex interrelation between humans, animals, plants and their physical environment For this reason, Ghanaian societies enforce cultural laws that ensure protection and management of their natural resources. Despite the merits associated with African endowed natural environments, it is scary to note that to date, Ghana still faces serious environmental threats among which are: deforestation, annual bushfires, illegal surface mining, poor farming practices, unconventional methods of dumping human/industrial wastes and pollution of water bodies. This paper therefore attempts to investigate the causes of environmental degradation in Ghana and demonstrate how the people's folklore can contribute to ensuring a well-conserved environment that can benefit the country's present and future generations.

Matthew Bidwell's research examines new patterns in work and employment, focusing in particular the causes and effects of more short-term, market oriented employment relationships. He has conducted detailed research on the contracting workforce in information technology, publishing papers on how those contractors are used within firms, on the effects of their relationships with staffing firms, and on who goes into contracting. A second focus of his research explores how workers build careers across organizations, working in different kinds of workplaces at different points in their careers. Current projects explore how organizations balance internal promotions with external hiring, and why worker mobility has increased in recent years.

MGMT611 - Managing Established Enterprises
The management of large, established enterprises creates a range of multi-facet challenges for the general manager. A general manager needs to understand the internal workings of a firm, how to assess and create a strategy, and how to take into account increasing, globalization. While these issues are distinct, they are very much intertwined. As a result, this course will provide you with an integrated view of these challenges and show you that effective of an established enterprise requires a combination of insights drawn from economics, sociology, psychology and political economy.
MGMT794 - Understanding Careers and Executive Labor Markets
This course examines the structure of executive careers in order to help understand how those careers can be managed most effectively. By drawing on extensive economic, sociological and psychological research on careers, we will examine such questions as when executives should move on to the next job or evenchange fields altogether, and what are effective means of finding jobs, achieving promotions, managing networks, and achieving work-life balance.

(watching the tv weather report)
Dan: What do you suppose that guy makes?
The weatherman that Dan is referring to is Canada AM's Jeff Hutchenson.
Dan: Hey, Fern, you want to tell Charlie I'm her supervisor, and she should check her attitude?
Fern: You're not her supervisor.
Dan: I know, but could you tell her that?
Claire: This wedding is getting too big. Where do you want to do the invites?
Mike: Swifty Copy!
Claire: Swifty Copy? Not Swifty Copy.
Mike: They have the best price, and they're swift. I mean, if they're not swift, it would be ballsy with that title.
Anita: We fix anything.
Dan: Even Pac-Man? Well, Ms. Pac-Man; it's like Pac-Man, only she's a girl, so she's got a bow on her head. Well, it's not really her head, she's a circle.
Anita: I know what Pac-Man is and she's not a circle; she's a pie.
Jeff: You and Mike are getting married? That's great, congratulations.
Claire: Thanks.
Jeff: Dan never told me.
Claire: Probably because he got distracted, or because I didn't tell him.
Jeff: You didn't tell him?
Claire: I meant to, I'm going to, please don't tell him. I will.
Jeff: I don't know; it's kind of hard to keep something like that from a guy.
Claire: No, I've been doing it for a while; it's surprisingly easy.
Dan: I didn't think anybody was running against you.
Mayor: Well, they aren't.
Dan: So I don't have a choice.
Mayor: Nope.
Dan: So you're just walking around, knocking on people's doors for no reason?
Mayor: I admit, it's not as productive as sitting around drinking beer and playing video games.
Dan: Well, for your information, I'm out of beers and this video game's broken!
Mayor: Touché!
Jeff: Did you just say you were running for mayor?
Dan: Yeah, somehow, I thought it would be more dramatic, but it just seemed...
Jeff: Stupid?

Jeff: I hate it when they do accurate captions.
Dan: I suppose all ink is good ink.
Jeff: What about that stuff octopuses spray on your face?
Dan: On land, all ink is good ink.
Dan: I'm not a joke candidate.
Jeff: No, I know, because to be a joke candidate, you need a thousand dollars.
Claire: You guys are still the same, still playing the same arcade game...
Jeff: Whoa, whoa, whoa, I wasn't playing.
Claire: Surrounded by empties...
Jeff: It's his place; I'm married!
Claire: When are you two going to grow up?
Jeff: I've got a kid; I've got digital cable! Okay, there's a bit of a drop-off between the first and second thing.
Jeff: Who's going to drop a grand on Ms. Pac-Man?
Dan: I don't know... there's some sucker out there. You want to buy it?
Jeff: You need to work on your pitch.
Jeff: You sure you want to do this?
Dan: You know what? I picked the goal, I made the sacrifice, now nothing's going to stop me! (to the receptionist) There's no GST, is there? (she shakes her head) Then nothing's going to stop me!
Mike: I can't believe they spelled 'nuptials' wrong. That is the last time that we go to Swifty Copy for wedding invitations.
Claire: Uh, hopefully.

A few days afterwards everything changed when my Mum told me that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer after finding a lump a few weeks earlier. When I heard those words, I didn't know what to think. What's going to happen to my Mum? Is she going to die?
That day was probably one of the hardest days I've ever had. For that day and the days after, I didn't really know what was going to happen – it was all really a bit of blur. I am so lucky to have great friends and family around me though, who have supported me right from the outset and have been there for a chat when I've needed it. Things like this really show who your true friends are.
My Mum underwent a mastectomy and then was told she would need a course of chemotherapy. All pretty scary stuff, however I cannot say how proud I am of her, my Dad, two sisters and the rest of my family for being so strong through everything so far. The chemotherapy took its toll on Mum – yes it has made her very ill, and she has had some bad days but as with everything, you get through it, and my Mum has been such a great example of what a positive attitude can do.
During the early stages of her treatment, Mum found out about the day therapy that Longfield offer – she could go for a day a week to the hospice at Minchinhampton and take part in arts and crafts, and have different relaxation therapies. She has been going on Wednesdays throughout her treatment, and it has been fantastic for her to be able to focus on that rather than the chemotherapy treatment which has made her feel pretty rubbish. Before Mum started going to Longfield, I thought that hospices' were a place for the end of life. Of course that is true, but they also support people with 'life-limiting' illnesses which include cancer, so they've given a way for Mum to live life through treatment which has been invaluable.
We are now through all of the chemotherapy treatment, however there's still a long way to go. Mum still has to have 3 weekly injections and daily tablets (all of which have nasty side effects) as well as probably some more surgery, but the future is looking positive and life is very much continuing… Last week my Mum and sister took part in the Longfield 5km colour run! What a legend!
If you feel that you could donate a few pounds to Longfield and support me whilst doing the half marathon I would be hugely grateful. They do fantastic work and I'm so glad that they have been there for Mum when she needed them to be!

The Barnstable Old King's Highway Historic District Committee has changed venues for its Sept. 25 meeting. With the West Barnstable Community Building closed for maintenance that day, the OKH will go east on Route 6A to St. Mary's Episcopal Church.
The church is steps away from the location of a hot item on the evening's agenda: the Lorusso family statuary group on the side lawn of the Barnstable Historical Society. The Society was scheduled to present a new landscaping plan in its quest for a certificate of approval from the Committee.

(I plan to upgrade but not just yet cause it's a pretty large site).
All advice/help appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

Review: Neil Patrick Harris and Hank Azaria in 'The Smurfs' offer harmless, self-aware family laughs
Yep. There is a movie called "The Smurfs" and it exists.
Is there really nostalgia out there for these characters? If you grew up in the '80s watching the cartoon on Saturday mornings, are you really hoping to see a new film with the little blue creatures? Somehow, I doubt it. This has struck me as one of the strangest miscalculations of this era of nothing but pre-existing properties since it was first announced, and now, finally, the film will be in theaters this Friday and we'll see what kind of appetite people actually have for the Smurfs.
One thing is clear, though, having taken both of my children to see the movie last night: this is not a movie that is aimed at grown-ups. It was written young, it plays young, and for a six year old and a three year old, it seemed to play just fine. I'll give it credit for making the two of them belly laugh every time Hank Azaria, chewing scenery with aplomb as Gargamel, evil wizard foe to the Smurfs, got hurt in some dramatic fashion. Listening to them laugh like that is exactly why I took them, and it worked well enough on that level.
I'm still unclear about how this weird new subgenre of movies even got started. I guess this is one of those "benefits" of the age of CGI. Now we've got this whole fistful of movies in which a little CGI creation (or, in many cases, a number of little CGI creations) moves into the home of a sitcom star or a comedy star looking for a family hit, only to wreak adorable havoc before teaching the human a valuable life lesson, which is usually "stop working so hard and hang out with your family more, you asshole." These movies are largely the same, with the only difference being what the CGI thingamajig looks like. The formula has, at this point, been firmly established, and it seems like "The Smurfs" follows the playbook closely. One thing they've done here that you won't see in, say, "Alvin and The Chipmunks: Chipwrecked," is introduce a sense of humor that openly mocks the property that's being adapted, and I'll be honest… it makes "The Smurfs" into even more of a Teflon film than it might otherwise have been. When you have characters in your film questioning and laughing at the internal logic of your mythology, it's obvious that none of this is meant to matter. By the point they consult a cartoon book by Peyo to learn things about themselves, "reality" has been so fundamentally left behind that it almost seems pointless to complain.
Hank Azaria, as I mentioned, plays Gargamel, and if you do end up enjoying the film, it will be largely because of him. He has developed a reputation as a guy who will commit completely to a big comedy role, and as with "Night At The Museum 2," he is better than the material he's given here, and he makes something that could be potentially deadly on the page work because of the choices he makes. He spends much of his time talking to his animated cat Azrael, but there's a weird stretch of the film where he meets Odile (Sofia Vergara), the owner of the cosmetics company that employs Patrick (Neil Patrick Harris), and she becomes determined to harness Gargamel's magic to create an anti-aging potion. That entire storyline is abandoned so quickly and in such a strange way that it feels like a reshoot must have happened at some point to prevent Vergara's character from being a villain. Kids won't notice, I'm guessing, but it's so abrupt that it just doesn't make sense. Ultimately, it also puts the emphasis back on Gargamel, which is really all that matters.
The CG for the Smurfs is well-done in terms of feeling like they have a physical presence, and the 3D in the film is effective. I'm curious how the voice-casting for the Smurfs happened, though, because it's a bizarre range of people. Jonathan Winters brings a certain degree of warmth to his work as Papa Smurf, but more than anything, I just keep picturing him in a recording booth trying to make sense of what he was being asked to record. Katy Perry is Smurfette, Fred Armisen is Brainy, and George Lopez is Grouchy, and none of them are pushed to do anything difficult at all. It's very surface-level stuff. Anton Yelchin as Clumsy has probably the closest thing to an arc in the film, and he's entirely okay in the part. Meanwhile, Alan Cumming plays Gutsy as a broad Scottish stereotype, one of the weirdest choices in the movie. The two main human leads, Harris and "Glee" star Jayma Mays, do what they can with some truly awful dialogue, and I'll say this: they incorporate the idea of what the Smurfs teach the humans with more thematic elegance than these films normally manage. Mays is pregnant in the film, and Harris is worried about impending responsibility and what it means to be a father, so their encounter with the Smurfs ends up teaching him what it means to be responsible for others. Thankfully, they don't hammer that maddening Hollywood idea that being a hard-working employed person is the same as being a terrible human being, something that we see in these "family" films over and over again. It helps that Harris and Mays are both so winning in general. He's one of those guys who is just plain likable, and Mays is so adorable that she's practically a cartoon herself.
This is the sort of film that is totally review-proof. If parents are already determined to take their kids to see this, they'll go, and it doesn't matter what percentage the film has on Rotten Tomatoes. Besides, it seems that many critics are so angry at the mere existence of the thing that they are pounding it like it hurt their loved ones. I've seen most of these films, and this is nowhere near the worst example of the genre. If you want to take that as praise, it's as close as I can get. If my boys were going to rate the movie, I'm sure it would get at least a letter grade higher than what I would give it, and it's a film that is designed for them expressly, so consider that when deciding if you're going to take your own kids.
"The Smurfs" opens everywhere this Friday.

Finding a natural solution
By Gina Souders
Health, Beauty, Body Care, Hair, Jurlique, Shampoo, Conditioner, Arnica Mint, Lavender, Product Reviews
When I stepped out of the shower after using Jurlique's hair care products I felt like I had stepped out of a high-end hair salon. My hair felt light, oil-free and amazing. After every use I couldn't stop reaching for the ends of my hair and pulling it across my cheek for one more sniff.
The scent I love most of all is the peppermint and tea tree aroma from Jurlique's Arnica Mint Shampoo ($22). Jurlique's Lavender Conditioner ($22), which is designed to relax your mind and soothe your hair and scalp, paled in comparison to the company's Arnica Mint Shampoo. Jurlique also offers Chamomile and Sandalwood shampoo and conditioner products. After using a quarter-size dollop of the shampoo to lather my hair I was in fragrance heaven. Also, the bottles are decorated with chic illustrations of the herb ingredients added to each product, which make them cute products to keep on display in your bathroom for guests to see and grow envious of.
The company uses sustainable ingredients and holds itself in high standards when growing, developing and sourcing Jurlique ingredients in its own farms and, when impossible, carefully sourcing from biodynamic or organic farms.
Its one downfall is that Jurlique's Arnica Mint Shampoo is produced with sodium lauroyl sarcosinate—a cleanser that removes surface oil, dirt and bacteria without stripping or drying sensitive skin, but still may not be the safest ingredient choice, according to the Environmental Working Group. This cleanser enhances the penetration of irritation to the skin but is safer when used in rinse-off products, according to CosmeticsInfo.org.
So what do you think? Have you fallen in love with Jurlique's body care products as much as me? If not, what hair fragrance is your favorite?

A Birthday Trip to Hokuriku: Awara Onsen & Kanazawa
Saturday, October 31st, was Mewby's birthday, so we took a birthday trip up to Hokuriku. As soon as I had finished my morning lessons, and pedalled back home, we made our way to Platform 0 at Kyoto Station (grabbing bento box lunches on the way) and jumped on the Thunderbird Limited Express bound for Awara Onsen!
From the official Awara City website:
Awara Onsen opened in the 16th year of Meiji (1883).
The hot-spring spa's birth goes back to 1883 when a farmer was digging an irrigation well in a reedy, swale swamp, and 80-degree hot spring with low salt content welled up. Next year in the 17th year of Meiji (1884), several onsen hotels opened and attracted visitors for toji (hot spring cure). LINK
We were staying at the Yuraku Hotel. Friendly service, lovely hot spring baths and great value for money. the meals were huge!
I'm not sure why this hotel features a Roman soldier, but hey the local station features a dinosaur, so why not?
The next day after a sumptuous breakfast…
…we headed for Kanazawa. From the station we took the shuttle bus to Kenrokuen garden. We arrived at a little souvenir place, and stopping to use the conveniences, we found this odd little gallery. Everything on display here was made of candy:
It seems Kanazawa is historically famous for its confectionary.
Then onto Kenrokuen – one of the three great gardens of Japan. It might not look like much but this next picture is of Japan's oldest fountain – all naturally powered too.
Some more pictures from this beautiful private garden…
The statue of mythological figure, Yamato Takeru, above, was raised to commemorate soldiers from Ishikawa Prefecture who died in the Saga Rebellion of 1871.
The ropes being tied onto the trees, are called yukitsuru and are there to help protect the branches from Ishikawa's heavy winter snows…
Then onto the castle!
This castle was first built in the 16th century, burned down several times and what we see now is largely a modern reconstruction.
After that we had a peak round Oyama Jinja Shrine. I liked this place.
We met a friendly crow here too.
After that we had a quick walk around some samurai houses…
Before catching our train from Kanazawa Station….
Then back to Awara to jump on the Thunderbird, and homeward bound!

Sprint Adding More Than 100 4G LTE Markets "In Coming Months"
Sprint customers thinking of switching to AT&T or Verizon to get their hands on some sweet 4G LTE action may want to rethink their plans. That's because the carrier announced today that it will be adding more than 100 cities to its 4G LTE network. That's a massive increase for Sprint, which currently has just 15 4G LTE markets.
Cities that can expect to get 4G LTE love include such major metropolitan areas as New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Washington D.C., Los Angeles and more. So when can you expect to see Sprint's 4G LTE network crop up in your area? Well, unfortunately, the carrier is being rather vague about any timing, simply allowing that the rollout will be happening "in the coming months."
Both AT&T and Verizon have much larger 4G LTE footprints than Sprint, with AT&T offering 53 markets and Verizon packing 337.
Check out the full list of Sprint's upcoming 4G LTE markets here.

Financial Crisis: Too Late to Change?
A travelling salesman is driving down a country road when he runs over a cat. Seeing a farmhouse nearby, he approaches to confess this unfortunate situation to the pet's owner. When a woman answers the door, he says, "I'm sorry, but I think I just ran over your cat." She asks him, "Well, what did it look like?" "Oh, m'am," he replies, "I completely ran over it, so it was very awful, just a smear on the road…" "Oh, no," she interrupts, "I mean, what did it look like before you ran over it." read more »

EPA Joins the Green Building Party
By Richard Reep
Well into the last decade, green design and smart growth operated as two separate and distinct reform movements. Both were widely celebrated in media, academic and planning circles, seeing themselves as noble causes albeit underdogs in the struggle against the mighty capitalistic enterprise of real estate development. Starting in 2009, the frozen credit market has kept private development moribund, and these two movements are somewhat moot as development takes a cease-fire. read more »
Freeing Energy Policy From The Climate Change Debate
The 20-year effort by environmentalists to establish climate science as the primary basis for far-reaching action to decarbonize the global energy economy today lies in ruins. Backlash in reaction to "Climategate" and recent controversies involving the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)'s 2007 assessment report are but the latest evidence that such efforts have evidently failed.
While the urge to blame fossil-fuel-funded skeptics for this recent bad turn of events has proven irresistible for most environmental leaders and pundits, forward-looking greens wishing to ascertain what might be salvaged from the wreckage would be well advised to look closer to home. Climate science, even at its most uncontroversial, could never motivate the remaking of the entire global energy economy. read more »
Immigrants Key to Economy's Revival
In Washington on Sunday, the tens of thousands of demonstrators demanding immigration reform looked like the opening round of the last thing the country needs now: another big debate on a divisive issue.
Yet Congress seems ready to take on immigration, which has been dividing Americans since the republic was founded.
But identifying immigrants as a "them," as both their advocates and nativists do, misses the point. Immigrants — and their children — are the people who will help define the future "us." They are also critical to the revival of the U.S. economy. read more »
A Big Company Recovery?
After the release of the 2009 fourth-quarter GDP estimate, some forecasters are now predicting a rapid recovery in 2010. Certainly, the fourth-quarter growth rate was impressive, particularly following the modest pickup reflected in the third-quarter results and the terrible results of the previous several quarters. Implicitly, these optimistic forecasts are based on the assumption that the United States economy has been fundamentally unchanged by the recession. read more »
Green Jobs Sink Down Under
Remember when President Obama declared that insulation was sexy? In the wake of the global economic downturn, a "green jobs" formulation has been launched, not just here, but in every major world capital. While the White House's financial and rhetorical commitments to the creation of green jobs are significant, no administration has made these policies as central to their government as that of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd in Australia. The results there should provide a cautionary tale for President Obama, whose trip "Down Under" is currently scheduled for June. read more »

Hi all,
I'd like an opinion on these two characters in interaction, but feel I first have to briefly outline the history of this issue as related to me.
A couple of weeks (or even months?) ago, I got involved into a discussion triggered by a post at one of the forums. The author happened to be a quite militant Aragorn fan who plainly said that Aragorn became King because he was TEH COOLEST GUY EVAH, and Faramir could never have hoped to equal him. I will not give this person's reasoning here; I consider it all very much influenced by personal preferences to be objective.
So, one of the questions is: how are these two related in terms of personal worth? What constitutes personal worth in this case? And, finally, what exactly is a non-ruling Steward's function at the side of a perfect King? Or maybe it's in the shadow of the King, not at his side? Nodding at appropriate intervals? *shudders* Because, if the King has an ability to see ten moves ahead, does he really need anyone who would not be quite as good at it?
I want to make one thing clear: it isn't a "who's better?" question. Personally, I am convinced that there are a lot of differences between these two characters (in addition to similarities), and they make a valid comparison quite impossible...but I'd rather hear what you think first. So?..
