The Chapter And Verse on E-Bookstores
As books go digital, much of the focus has been on which gadgets offer the best approximation of old-fashioned paper and ink on a screen. But there's another choice that's just as important for readers to weigh before they make the leap to e-books: which e-bookstore to frequent.
Reading devices like the iPad, Kindle and Nook will come and go, but you'll likely want your e-book collection to stick around. Yet unlike music, commercial e-books from the leading online stores come with restrictions that complicate your ability to move your collection from one device to the next. It's as if old-fashioned books were designed to fit on one particular style of bookshelves. What happens when you remodel?
Much of this problem stems from the publishing industry, which has demanded that e-bookstores embed digital rights management software in most best sellers to keep them from being stolen and swapped, free, online. The music labels once asked the same from digital-music retailers, but eventually agreed to open up.
The e-bookstores share in the blame. Amazon.com Inc., AMZN 0.21 % Apple Inc., AAPL 0.09 % Barnes & Noble Inc. BKS 0.17 % and Sony Corp. all want you to buy their own gadgets and to continue buying e-books from their stores. For example, purchases from Apple's new iBooks store can be read only on Apple's own iPad (and soon the iPhone). Even though Apple said it would support an industry standard format called ePub for iBooks, in practice your iBooks purchases remain locked on Apple's virtual bookshelf. (So I hope iBooks customers like Apple's light-brown wood paneling.)
Many of the biggest e-book providers fall short of putting readers fully in charge of their own digital-book collections, but they have begun to unveil their own solutions for moving your e-books around.
Amazon, which jump-started the shift to e-books with its Kindle, lets customers read its e-books through apps on at least six kinds of devices. Amazon custom-built the free apps for gadgets that include the iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry, PC, Mac and (later this summer) devices running Google's Android software. If a device has an Internet connection, the apps automatically load Amazon e-book purchases from the company's website, saving you the fuss of keeping track of files and transferring them between gadgets with cables. In many ways, this is more convenient than the way we manage our digital-music collections by manually adding and deleting files from iPods through a computer.
Amazon's apps are slick and work on many of the most popular devices today, but Amazon buyers should know that they're likely stuck using the retailer's software forever. While Amazon says it plans to keep making apps for more devices, the list of potential devices for reading grows longer every day. Moreover, Amazon sells its e-books in a proprietary format, so there's no way to open those files on another device without an Amazon app or without resorting to cumbersome (and potentially illegal) third-party conversion software.
Barnes & Noble, too, adopted an Internet-connected app approach, providing a seamless way to shift its e-books between the Nook, PC, Mac, BlackBerry, iPhone, WindowsMobile for the HTC HD2 and soon iPad. Barnes & Noble has been integrating its e-bookstore into niche e-reading devices, like those by Plastic Logic, Irex and Pandigital. It also, uniquely, offers you the chance to "loan" some e-book purchases to a friend for 14 days. But its bookstore requires a somewhat annoying step: Each time you download a book to a new device, you must enter your name and the credit-card number that was used to buy the book in order to unfasten the digital lock on the book.
Beyond the apps, Sony, Barnes & Noble and Apple and a few smaller e-bookstores all promised they'd put their weight behind the industry standard format ePub, which is the e-book version of music's Mp3 and can be read by almost every reading device (except the Kindle). That sounds great in theory, but in practice, the ePub files either can't be transferred or doing so is cumbersome.
The problem is each company adds digital rights management software to an ePub book. A copy of "Moby Dick" I bought from iBooks delivered just blank pages when I opened it on the Nook. A Barnes & Noble e-book produced an error message in Sony's PC ePub reading software. Barnes & Noble says its books will be compatible with devices like the Sony Reader after a software upgrade.
There were two notable exceptions: Purchases from Sony's e-bookstore and a Borders Group-backed store called Kobo could open on the Nook and other ePub-reading devices if I used a free program from Adobe called Digital Editions to transfer it. That's a nice insurance policy but the process is far more complicated than it should be.
There may yet be a third way. Google, which plans to launch an e-bookstore later this year, says customers will be able to access its books through apps on popular devices and through a Web browser on any device—including a phone or computer. Google's argument is that we shouldn't lock ourselves into one bookstore if it is going to offer titles that are dependent on special apps or devices. Google's existing free out-of-copyright books service works under this same general premise, but it isn't yet ready for prime time. It requires you to always be online to read a book and its pages aren't well formatted for reading on small screens or mobile devices. Google executives say they will fix both issues when the commercial service launches.
For now, the e-bookstore choice comes down to which compromises readers are willing to accept. Anybody who just wants a simple way to carry digital books around might be happy with an app-based approach. But readers intent on building an e-library may want to either invest in an ePub-based collection, or hold off until the industry figures out a better solution.

Hi there!
I'm using an image map plugin called ImageMapper and wondered if your plugin is compatible with it. It's based on ImageMapster. Imagemapper is not responsive, it seems, with Canvas but it works fine with the Mobile Theme module in Jetpack. Jetpack, though, in turn conflicts with Canvas. It seems that this plugin (Responsive Image Maps) doesn't work either with this plugin or with my responsive theme, WooThemes Canvas. The plugin author seems to have dropped off the face of the earth for a few months, WooThemes support can't help, and I'm not a WordPress developer. Can anyone help?

We are in a glass case of emotion right now.
Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris each took to social media today to share a number of absolutely adorable photos of themselves being all in love with each other while also enjoying the breathtaking views from their tropical getaway. Captioned with a simple heart emoji, the singer shared one especially OMG-worthy snapshot of the pair sharing a sweet kiss while on the beach, with her leg propped back just like in the movies.
(Also, who took the picture? Those mysteries are always interesting to think about.)
But luckily for fans, the photo-sharing didn't stop there! Taylor also showed us that the sweet couple wrote their initials on the sand (while also reminding us that Calvin's real name is Adam Wiles), along with flaunting her killer bikini bod. Additionally, there was a hilarious video that Harris caught of Taylor jumping into the water off of a huge floating device, and, well, it didn't go as smoothly as she'd hoped, LOL!
Harris also took to both Twitter and Instagram to share a few brooding model poses of each of them on the beach, as well as a few pics of the twosome by the water.
Their PDA-filled vacation comes on the heels of the two stars celebrating their first anniversary together.
The Grammy-winning lovebirds marked the occasion with a sweet treat—a seemingly handmade cake covered in chocolate icing with the phrase, "1 Year" in white bordered by giant red hearts earlier this month. In a video posted to his Snapchat account, the record producer filmed a smiling Swift nodding with glee as they officially showed off the dessert to their fans.
Additionally, the 26-year-old pop star was spotted out at The Church Key in Los Angeles last week wearing a gold locket her 32-year-old beau recently gave her for their 1-year anniversary around her neck, resting just above her navel. She paired it with a chic, plunging black outfit.
The locket features an engraving of the date "3-6-2015," the day they became an official couple. "He bought the locket all on his own," a source had told E! News. "Calvin is not a flashy guy when it comes to gifts and he knows Taylor appreciates the small meaningful things, so he thought this would be the perfect gift."
The source added the locket contains "something special," without elaborating.
We are just loving all the love that's happening with these two right now. So, excuse us while we live vicariously through them with these photos.

Aviation Security:
TSA's Revised Cost Comparison Provides a More Reasonable Basis for Comparing the Costs of Private-Sector and TSA Screeners
GAO-11-375R: Published: Mar 4, 2011. Publicly Released: Mar 9, 2011.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-4379
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
As Congress requested, this letter discusses the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) efforts to address our January 2009 recommendation to TSA to improve its methodology for comparing the cost and performance of screening services at commercial airports using private-sector screeners under the Screening Partnership Program (SPP airports) and at airports using federal screeners (non-SPP airports). Our January 2009 report identified some design strengths in TSA's analysis comparing the cost and performance of screening services at SPP and non-SPP airports, such as recognizing that cost savings would be limited by the mandated structure of the program, but also identified 10 limitations in TSA's methodology that could affect the accuracy and reliability of the cost and performance comparisons, and its usefulness in informing future management decisions. We recommended that if TSA plans to rely on its comparison of cost and performance of SPP and non-SPP airports for future decision making, the agency should update its analysis to address the limitations we identified. TSA generally concurred with our findings and recommendation.
In summary, on January 4, 2011, TSA provided us with an update on the status of its efforts to address seven limitations related to cost we cited in our report, as well as a revised comparison of costs for screeners at SPP and non-SPP airports. This revised cost comparison generally addresses three of the seven limitations and provides TSA with a more reasonable basis for comparing the cost of SPP and non-SPP airports. However, TSA needs to take additional actions or provide additional documentation to address the remaining four limitations related to cost and the three limitations related to performance that we identified in our January 2009 report. In addition, TSA reported that it does not plan to rely solely on its cost performance study for future management decisions related to the SPP. As requested, this letter focuses on the status of TSA's efforts related to its revised cost comparison of SPP and non-SPP airports.

Though if I try to make any changes, they appear to be changed in there but not at the actual website. I have already deleted all plugins (as I know that might've been a problem).
I think the problem is either the version I'm using (3.3.1) or because I started changing my website using Weebly website builder. I also used justhost.com to start my website.
Any help to change anything on my website (www.answeringproblems.com) would be much appreciated!

Having a strange problem with the slideshow plugin - created a slideshow and inserted into a page and it worked great. Next created a second slideshow and inserted that into another post. When it was viewed the first slideshow started showing the second slideshow and second slideshow started showing the first slide show - how weird.??!!
Have tried swapping shortcode but both play the same slideshow and not the one I want on that page...very strange. Has anyone any ideas what I've done?
Many thanks

An adaptation of the classic French duck confit, this simple rabbit confit (Frenchly pronounced kōn-ˈfē) is ideal as a delicious meal. The stripped-down version that I have so wonderfully adapted for you uses minimal ingredients to streamline the preparation process without sacrificing worlds of flavor.
Rabbit, depending on its origin, can closely resemble chicken in texture, taste, and appearance. Wild rabbit tastes and feels gamier (and probably is more sustainable) than poultrylike farmed rabbit. Either can be used for this recipe, with similar results. The confited rabbit meat will melt off the the bone with extraordinary texture and predictably savory taste. If you're intimidated by eating rabbit, think of it as chicken, or actually use chicken in this recipe with no consequences.
Adapted from Leite's Culinaria.
- 1 rabbit, cut up
- 1/4 cup kosher/other coarse salt
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 4 cups bacon fat/lard/duck fat/peanut oil, or similar, or combination
One to two days before cooking, cut up the rabbit. Salt both sides of the rabbit pieces with 1/4 cup kosher salt and 1 tablespoon white sugar. Place in a glass dish or bowl, covered, until you're ready to cook (one to two days, no more).
Preheat the oven to 250° Fahrenheit. Heat the fat on the stove over medium-high heat in a dutch oven or thick-bottomed, oven-safe pot. While the fat is melting, rinse and dry the salted rabbit. Add the meat to the now-warm fat, arranging the pieces in a single layer and covered in fat.
Cover and place in the oven for three hours. Check regularly in the first half-hour to adjust the heat so the oil remains at a simmer (one bubble every few seconds). Check occasionally for the next two and a half hours.
Confit is not the same as frying. If you understand analogies, figure this one out:
Confit : Fry :: Braise : Boil
If you didn't get that, we're cooking this rabbit low and slow. After 3 hours, the meat should reach peak tenderness without falling apart too much.
At this point, you have two options.
- Save for later. Remove the pot from the oven, let cool, then refrigerate the rabbit (in fat) for as long as you want (typically no more than a month; preserving in fat is the traditional method). Prepare the rabbit for eating by moving to option #2.
- Preheat a grill to high. Oil the grates, possibly with the confit fat. Grill for 2 minutes per side, to crisp and impart extra smoky flavor in the confit.
Makes enough for 3. Pairs delightfully with green stuff to contrast the heaviness of the meat.
Do it.

Perseuspowers, I also use visualization when I'm running and many times put myself on my favorite No. CA beach where I spent years running in the 90s....last summer I went back and had daily runs again on that beach and it doesn't get any better than that...I too am looking forward to relocating in a few years back to the beach, if not in that city then further north on the Oregon coast...it's all beautiiful...

Hi Just- - -
Even if you finally get to where it is inadvisable to run, you can always try walking. On my last two 5Ks, I didn't do any running at all - just made my feet go as fast as I could. I really surprised myself that I bettered my previous times where I "cheated" and did a little running. At the end of these events, I wasn't even aware of my bumb knee.
There are a lot of tips and links in this web site on fast walking - even if you don't want to actually do race walking. I've ordered a book on fast walking. After it arrives, I'll put up a little review of it.

I really depend upon my music when I run, even though I use the same playlist over and over again. Maybe its my "mantra". Sometimes if I find that my iPod is dead, I consider not biking or running until it gets charged. I actually had to buy an extra iPod AND get both replaced because I kept having issues with them. All I know is that the music in the background helps to reduce the mind chatter - even if I don't "listen" to the songs anymore.
The other thing I do is count (1 per 4 steps) to 100 over and over. For me, it is about 600 counts per mile, so even if I don't have a GPS, I know about how far I am within a mile. I also use the count to time my speed intervals & rest (40/60), and, when I get tired and wore-out, I use the count (instead of my watch) to time my run/walk intervals (80/20).
Of course, there are some local races that don't allow headphones, so it is my counting that keeps me going in the race, and it becomes my "mantra".
Anyway, don't give up on your training - I know how hard it is to be persistant, but YOU CAN DO IT!

Jasmine 1972,
Thanks for all your suggestions. I do play my ipod. I have several play lists, but use one in particular when I run. That doesn't always work though. I like the idea of counting 1 per 4 steps. You really have to focus on counting and you can't attend to anything else. I have been wearing a pedomiter and periodically looking at it to see how far I have run, but if I can count and use the pedomiter the first time I try to count I'll be able to get at an approximate number like your 600 per mile. So far the only run I have done that I couldn't wear my headphones is called "Girls on the Run". I had a student as my partner. Thanks again. I will try counting tomorrow... One thing I am is persistant:)
Thanks for your suggestions. I do use headphones but they don't always do the trick. I have never heard of "Chi Running". I'll have to do some research. Jasmine 1972 suggested counting as well. I'm going to try that tomorrow. I am easily distracted and my thoughts wonder sometimes from one thing to the next even when I am focused on something. I know I feel better and I breath better when I have a focus, focus, focus.............. Thanks again:)

Ah, we're talking about "the Voices" again
I used to have a horrible problem with those voices, especially during my first year of real running. I always ran with music or music podcasts. They seemed to help quite a bit. When my Nano stopped working, I had to decide if I was going to buy a new one, go back to running with my phone on my arm, or learn to run without music (horrors!). For a while I used my phone, but I really didn't like the phone sliding down my arm (the band had stretched out and my arm had shrunk). So I started playing little tricks. I counted steps. I sang songs in my head. I repeated a mantra. Eventually, I relaxed and started to look at the wildlife around me (I counted different kinds of animals or birds), study the other people on the trail, listen to my breathing, or just try to really be present in my surroundings during my runs. Now I tend to use my time out on the road/trail thinking - about life, how to solve personal issues, what I'm going to make for dinner, what I'm going to do about my hair, even how my feet feel hitting the ground. When the little voices creep back in, and they do, I tell them, "no, not going to listen to that, keep moving."
Do whatever works for you to keep those voices from taking anything away from your wonderful time running.
Hip Flexor
Earlier this week I got a very tight hip flexor. For a couple of days I did almost nothing except rest and ice. Now I am starting to stretch and do some walking. I can get to the point were I feel almost normal with the stretching. But I don't dare change directions or stop and start quickly. The other thing is the first time I put weight on the leg there is a sharp pain, but it goes away mostly after about two steps. I can lessen the pain if I apply weight slowly. Most of what I find on the Internet mentions ice and stretching. Does anyone have any suggestions beyond this?
On the positive side my wife has almost fully recovered from her heal pain and is planning to do her first 20 minute run Saturday.

Ooops, On my last post,I forgot to put in the link to the walking web site:
It isn't just about race walking, it has good information about just plain walking - fast or slow. Check out the various links. This information is particularly good for those of us who have creaky joints that we are waiting to get well - or whose creaky joints will never get better, but are good for many more miles if we pamper them. What walking has over running is there is a lot less pounding on the knees.
I don't listen to music, count steps, or recite mantras. I like to enjoy the scenery and just think thoughts. If I begin to flag, I tell myself that if I don't step it up, I'll miss the train - the train that will take me to the payroll office where my check is waiting.

Been lurking for a few weeks but had to jump in....I call my voices the 'quit monkey'...as in "The quit monkey just jumped on my back". I'm having a lot more problems fighting the QM now that I'm older. In my 30's it were there but I rarely surrendered on a run. Now, it's a 50/50 proposition .... once the quit monkey really starts working on me. It helps me to conjure up an external motivation to push through the suffering....have a runner (or even a walker) on the trail ahead of me to catch helps.
The running gods of motivation were really smiled on me today! About one minute from my turnaround I passed a runner going the other way (forest preserve trail). I could tell he was catchable and sure enough he was in my sights about 2 miles from my finish. The best part was when he felt me coming up on him....he picked up the pace and tried to run away from me! Every time I came up on his shoulder he put in a little kick to keep ahead. I had never had this happen on a training run before....all the sudden I was in 'race' mode. I knew a little hill was coming up so I figured that's where I would put this guy out of his misery. But he pushed it up the hill to the trail head (just at the top) and stopped before I could get by him....I had to give him a 'thumbs up' as I went by to finish off my run.
The quit monkey was nowhere in sight today.

Chipper T, thanks for the suggestions. It's so frustrating trying to clear my head and find a focus. I like running to music but it doesn't always work. I will try to pay more attention to my breathing. Focusing on that may help my rythm. I have not run with a buddy yet, I'll give that a try. Finding someone who runs at my pace may be difficult. My daughter and son in law both run, but they are faster than me:) Thanks again.
I started running in 2009. I am now 55. I was inspired by a book, "Younger Next Year". This book advocates getting at least 40 minutes of cardio exercise at least 6 days a week. It works for me. I have lost 60 pounds and have gone from having difficulty running 1 mile to completing my first marathon in January. I even qualified for the Boston Marathon and plan to run it next year. For me, consistancy is the key. I plan to exercise every day. When I miss a day, I feel like I missed out. I almost never go 2 days in succession without a workout. I also do sprint triathlons. Sprint triathlons usually include a 5k run along with a 12-14 mile bike ride and 400-500 meter swim. They are a lot of fun (although I am a terrible swimmer). Doing 3 different events helps balance your fitness since you use difference muscles. A little resistance training helps a lot too; twice a week, light weights, high reps.
A little over a year ago, when I started incorporating little bursts of jogging into my running, I never thought I'd think of myself as a runner. Today, I just completed my first 11-mile jog/run and it was awesome. The air is quite deliciously clean after hurricane Irene swept it free of all dust, pollen, exhaust, and humidity, so it was just the perfect morning. I love it when that everything clicks! I didn't break any speed records, but I stayed moving for 11 miles and that counts!

Keep on running!
Way to go Melissa! You're going to rock that Half in October. I got up this morning and checked the weather. It was 82 at 6:10! I thought about shortening my planned run because I know how miserable I've felt during and after long, hot runs. I ate my oatmeal, washed it down with ice water and decided to get out and just do what I could do. By relaxing, not worrying about pace and sticking to short running intervals with walk breaks, I made it through all ten miles. I didn't break any speed records either, but I did complete the run and felt pretty good at the end. Now it's time to relax and enjoy the rest of the day. I hope everyone had a great weekend with happy runs and happy families.
I like these suggestions for dealing with the voices in your head. Sometimes I run with music, sometimes I don't want music. Sometimes I've pictured myself in a race I've run and the cheering crowds along the way and imagine friends of mine cheering me on. This sometimes works for me. Even if you haven't already done a run, you can still imagine you are in a run and people are cheering for you. Since most of my races I've not actually had people I knew along the route, because usually I have to go out of town for races (live in a rural area with not much happening in the running world as far as organized races). Then I picture some of my online running friends rooting for me.
I hadn't run in 3 weeks and finally got out and did a little over 2 miles this morning. I will be so glad when it cools down more because I just don't tolerate the heat well. I do so much better in fall, winter, and spring. But at least I got out this morning and really want to start getting out and doing it 3 times a week again. So that means I have to make it a point to get out between 5:30 and 6 am to do it.
I haven't posted much but always enjoy reading.

Macbeth. Conducted by Antonio Pappano; directed by Phyllida Lloyd. Opus Arte (OA BD 7095D), 2011. 170 minutes. $39.00.
Verdi wastes no time getting to the drama in the overture to Macbeth, as suggestive "tiptoe" motifs in the woodwinds contrast with bombastic blasts in the brass. Conductor Antonio Pappano's tempi are a bit quick and intense, and the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House matches his every pulse. Macbeth provides the opportunity for the kind of rich and full company performance you'd expect from Verdi, but it's the lead performers that make this particular rendition worth considering. As Macbeth, baritone Simon Keenlyside has a natural, sexy presence that's a great complement to the special, consistent ping of his sound. In Lady Macbeth's aria "La luce langue," Liudmyla Monastyrska especially sparkles with intensity and evil plans. And American Raymond Aceto, just prior to his own murder as the general Banquo, masterfully throws his heart on the stage with his caution to Macbeth in "Come dal ciel precipita." This is a second revival production from Phyllida Lloyd and Anthony Ward that was originally staged in London in 2002. The set is stark and gloomy, but among the claustrophobic shadows a handful of colors jump out: blood-red headscarves worn by prophetic and powerful witches, and the gaudy, golden drapes of chain mail worn by Macbeth and his lady at his coronation. The darkness of this production is relentless, but the mystery and grandeur of the score and the convincing performances envelop you in a bel canto blanket of awesomeness. This disc's additional features, such as the bonus interviews with Pappano, provide a nice appetizer for the opera itself.
Die Dollarprinzessin. Directed by Klaus Überall Arthaus Musik (101624), 2012. 87 minutes. $29.99.
This 1971 film adaptation of composer Leo Fall's operetta is musically and visually reminiscent of a sitcom from that era, though the original Dollar Princess premiered in Vienna in 1907. Like those of his better-known contemporary Franz Lehár, Fall's early works were poorly received, and Die Dollarprinzessin was his first real staged success. Not many Fall operettas are in today's repertoire, and even fewer are available on DVD. Set in New York, this romantic comedy is light and entertaining, with plenty of sexual references and gender profiling to fit its day. The audio was obviously recorded separately and synched later with the footage, but this fact is more an asset than a distraction. The performance is in German, and subtitles are available in English, German, and French.

"Set Up" is a play about a long and excruciating blind date that feels exactly like a long and excruciating blind date.
As a piece of conceptual art designed to transfer the gnawing boredom and discomfort of its characters directly to the audience, Dan Noonan's play might have a successful run in the Museum of Modern Art. But as theater, and especially as the winner of Alleyway's 2012 reputedly prestigious Maxim Mazumdar New Play Competition, it can only be considered a creative failure.
Even the setup of "Set Up" is upsetting.
The play features two people who have been coerced by their friends to go on a blind date to a Manhattan restaurant that appears to have been decorated and staffed by Tim Burton. One is a successful and neurotic doctor with Type 1 diabetes (Joyce Stilson) who is prone to oversharing; the other is a calorie-obsessed right-wing lawyer (Guy Tomassi) who seems to be in the middle of a perpetual and life-threatening nervous breakdown.
We are meant to believe that these two ships sinking in the night would first agree to meet one another, then feign disgust with one another over appetizers and finally fall in a sort of tentative love by the time the baked Alaska arrives for dessert.
For a one-act comedy, this idea might be marginally sustainable: Two wounded characters slapped together against their will in strange surroundings who gradually chip away at one another's emotional shields to form the beginnings of a romantic bond. But the prospect of two full acts of Noonan's writing, which can be clever and insightful in spots but depends far too much on extended cellphone conversations and warmed-up clichés, is enough to make you ask for the check before intermission.
Everything about the production is overdone. Todd Warfield, a gifted director of comedies who suppressed his urge to campify in his fine 2008 Alleyway production of "Rabbit Hole" but is otherwise known for his outrageous style, has missed the mark here.
He lets his actors go overboard and seems not to have insisted on much nuance. The results are less than exciting. Tomassi, who has been charming in his many roles at Buffalo United Artists and O'Connell and Company, has been allowed to exaggerate his nervous ticks to the point of total distraction. Stilson does better as the overworked doctor, but her eye-rolls and affected displeasure are still much too broad for such an intimate play and theater.
Joey Bucheker plays the flamboyant waiter, providing some nice moments of comic relief in his seemingly randomly chosen Southern accent, and he does what he can with the thinly written, overgrown frat boy who is the brother of Tomassi's character. Stephanie Bax does well enough doubling as the restaurant's agitated chef and as a colorful, if not exactly helpful, confidant to Stilson's character.
Noonan does explore some genuinely interesting topics here: mental and physical illness, post-9/11 anxiety and the struggles of recovering emotionally from broken marriages and relationships. But he wraps them up in such an unattractive package that they have trouble shining through.
In the end, "Set Up" is a date you may want to skip.

Soft and warm
Bought these for my daughter, her feet stay nice and warm with them on. Good for car seat, stroller, or around the house.
Great slippers and they stay on!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs large
I love these slippers for my little one. We used the XS size for the first year and now are using the size S (LO is almost 2, but small for age). They stay put, are warm, and great for wearing around the house.
Great shoe
My daughter wears these every day. They're super easy to put on, comfy, and warm. She's worn them on fall evening hikes and been toasty warm. She had the small size 3m size that actually still fit her at 9 months. I recently bought a pair of the 12 m size and she's going to have to grow into them. I'd say they're true to size.
Keep those feet warm
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
When it's cold outside, and all your little one wants is a blanket and cup of hot chocolate, these are a miracle. He loves to wear them around the house in the winter, and the rubberized soles keep him from slipping on our hardwood floors. He's been growing like a weed this year, so I suspect this winter we'll have to go up another size!

Construction of Dodger Stadium
Sept. 17, 1959: About 3,000 fans attend the ground-breaking ceremony for Dodger Stadium. During the event, several giant earth-movers plunged down a 200-foot slope, shoving tons of dirt ahead of them as spectators watched. Some people scooped up handfuls of dirt and packed it in souvenir cardboard boxes.
Construction started in 1959 and ended in 1962, at a total cost of $23 million. At the time, Dodgers President Walter O'Malley envisioned the ballpark as a "showplace," according to a Times interview in 1969. Influenced by Walt Disney and Disneyland, he had plans for a musical fountain in left field and an imported Italian sound system, said Mark Langill, author of the books "Los Angeles Dodgers" and "Dodger Stadium." But then reality set in, O'Malley's views evolved and the fountain was gone.
The ballpark opened on April 10, 1962, with 52,564 people in attendance to watch the Dodgers play the Cincinnati Reds (the Dodgers lost, 6-3).
The biggest surprise? There were few traffic problems. Most of the spectators were seated for the first pitch, and after the game, stadium parking lots were cleared in 30 minutes, reported The Times.

Look no further than above for confirmation of the time-worn adage "Opinions are like….."

Why didn't the story mention how the people were not fairly compensated for their homes and the ones who refused the meager "compensation" were thrown out (and forcibly removed) from their homes with nothing! If you're going to tell a story, tell the complete story and don't leave out the bad parts. Dodger stadium has such a negative history that it's mere name leaves a bad taste in my mouth!
April 10, 2011, 8:24 pm
It is highly suspicious that this picture-narrative starts with clean, bare land, a blank slate. Chavez Ravine had a name because there was a community of people living there. It's disappointing to have to inform the city's namesake newspaper of recent history, or worse, to see that the newspaper is turning a blind eye to corrupt politics.
April 2, 2013, 12:58 pm
Wow!! Such a nice construction work I've just seen through here posted photo and simply on that time 1959-1962 construction work was pretty tough to complete but this construction work of Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles makes me impressed. Thanks dude.

Window Open or closed ? Cant tell can you?
Glad we didnt sign Craig Davis if he is that good why is Barnsley stuck at the bottom of table! pay peanuts get monkeys as they say. I think Neil knows who he wants let him do his job, we will be MOT one day soon.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
So far, this transfer window looks like every other under Bates' chairmanship – it's as if Bates hasn't left… Hang on, Bates hasn't left!
There are strong rumours that the club will sell Becchio to capitalise on his 19 goal tally. Byram is likely to stay, unless a silly bid comes in for him. And it seems that Gray has terminated his contract, "by mutual consent", and will move to Bradford.
On the up side, it is rumoured that Alajandro Faurlin (MF) from QPR and Dexter Blackstock (ST) from Notts Forest are undergoing medicals at Thorp Arch and likely to sign for Leeds.
Additionally, Warnock is rumoured to be interested in signing the following players:
Lewin Nyatange (CB) from Bristol City
Lewis Grabban (ST) from Bournemouth
Max Clayton (ST) from Crewe Alexandra
Alan Judge (MF) from Notts County
Kim Ojo (ST) from SK Brann
Jozy Altidore (ST) from AZ Alkmaar.
There could be a couple of undiscovered gems heading to Leeds and, just maybe, things are not as bleak as they appear.

The rumours on Becchios departure do seem to be gaining momentum, and will cause an uproar if he goes.
If KB is trying to show GFH how to make money out of LU (which I am convinced he is), then the fans will continue to stay away and we will get nowhere again.
If they get the reputed £4M for him I will guarantee we will spen no more than £1M - £1.5M on new players which will prove my point.Faurlin & Blackstock would only be adequate signing for me although Max Clayton could be one of your hidden gems.
I think I am starting to get depressed again. Come on Colin prove me wrong!
One man cant be blamed for Barnsleys position Kevin as you well know.They are suffering from the same as we are sell your best off and down you drop.Their rot set in when they sold their best player to Norwich Jacob Butterfield as a result their midfield and supply to strikers dried up. Any striker who nets four in a game cant be that bad.You obviously did not see him run our lot ragged over the last season. Like they say its all about opinion. Will watch his progress at Bolton.as I hope you will . Yes we will make it to the top but not this year and not with NW and his chosen. Too many excuses made by him about performances mostly of late because of his signings not good enough with the exception of Doofy. Thank goodness for Beccs, where would we be without his goals..Down with Barnsley.
- 1 Reply to Tom
Yes i know he has done well at Barnsley Tom, but like you i shall be watching his progress at Bolton, i still think if NW can bring in another another striker to partner Beccs we can make the playoffs at least dont forget we have beaten 2 teams in there so far, we shall see plenty of football to be played yet!MOT

by Kevin P. McGrath
Some people in your life can often be difficult to shop for, and your dad is no exception. Every passing year brings that same dilemma: What gifts should you buy Dad for his birthday? It may seem impossible to come up with good gift ideas for him every year, but with some consideration, you can choose the perfect gift that he will always remember.
Consider his lifestyle and interests: Nearly every dad has a hobby or interest. What does yours enjoy? Some prefer to stay at home with their electronics or tools, while others prefer venturing into the great outdoors with their tents or fishing poles. Think about what your dad likes to do and find something that would make it even better.
Find clues from the past: Think over gifts you've given him in years past. Try to remember the gifts he really loved -- not just what he said he liked, but what he has really used. Is his favorite pair of golf shoes worn out? Does his favorite pair of snow pants have holes? Maybe it is time to renew or upgrade something you already know he uses and loves.
Make it personal: Think of moments you have spent with your dad. Try giving a gift that reminds you of him or look for photos of time spent together. Whether it is a photo from last year's vacation or a photo of you and your dad from a special occasion like your wedding, photos can be a great way to relive those personal moments again and again. Frame a photo or fill an entire photo album. Your dad will love to remember the good times you had together.
Make him laugh: This year, give your dad something completely unexpected. Try giving a gift that you know will make him smile. Sometimes an unpractical or even a gag gift is exactly what your dad needs after years of playing it safe. If the unexpected is not for your father, try to lighten the mood with a classic comedy DVD that will keep him laughing for years to come.
Give a gourmet gift: Gourmet food is the way to any dad's heart, so look for his favorite snack. Spice up Dad's life with a collection of gourmet hot sauces, or satisfy his sweet tooth with a gift basket full of cookies or candy. If his idea of eating well includes a side of bacon, treat him to a gift sampler of gourmet meats. As long as consider what his favorite gourmet food is, you're sure to give him a birthday snack he'll love.

Barbara, I'm glad you had a chance to taste your mulberries. I love mine. They are so delicious.
Welcome back Randy! Hope your trip was everything you wanted it to be! We have had the rainiest spring in several years - thunderstorms today. I'm in awe at how fast things are growing and blooming. Ate mulberries for the first time off my tree - so sweet even more so than blackberries which they look very much like.
Joan is posting from hospital, so she must be getting better.
In the past, I've used quite toxic materials to get rid of ants. It does the job for about a year, but they continue to fly in and create new colonies, so it's a never ending battle. I've decided to quit using toxic materials, and will try Patricia's method.
Patricia, I've not heard of your ant killer before, but I'm going to try it. Those critters are a pain. I'm glad I don't have fire ants, but what I do have eat a lot of my strawberries, farm aphids on some of my fruiting plants, and get in the house where they sometimes sting me.
Patricia, your ant killer is new to me and I've printed it. Will give it a try as I have large mounds nears my front walk - Fire Ants - nasty little critters. Although what it will do to them makes me shudder.
Daniel, I've come to the decision that this year will be a test case for all my newly planted items and I'm going to let nature take its course. I'll definitely learn which things will need intervention from me. Since this has been the wettest Spring in several years there's a good chance some of my plants won't get pollinated.
It boggles my mind how you track each tree and plant and help it along with pollination, grafting, pruning, et al. Info on figs and pawpaw is fascinating!
Kathy, I don't have that many ants as they don't like the rain and seem to go underground - I do have snails by the gazillion and when I walk down my walkway after dark it is crunchy. :) Tomorrow I'm putting out rows of diatomaceous earth in hopes of at least slowing them down.

A temporary page has gone up for the next Transformers Legends game event by Mobage. Next up is "Day of the Dinobots Part 2", which sounds as though it will feature a whopping five bosses – all five Dinobots, Grimlock, Sludge, Swoop, Slug and Snarl. Episode characters are also implied to be Ratbat and Ramjet. The event is currently listed as running from 4 June to 11 June, but this might be subject to change.

Yeovil came up against a resolute Carlisle defence and the Cumbrians took a big step towards safety with a first-half header from Sean O'Hanlon and a second strike after the break by Beck, his sixth goal of the season.
It was a first win in seven games for Carlisle, which had a lot to thank central defensive pairing O'Hanlon and Danny Livesey for an uncompromising display at the back.
But it was 18-year-old striker Beck who came in for warm praise from Carlisle manager Greg Abbott.
Beck led the line due to the three-match suspension incurred by Lee Miller last week.
Abbott said: "Trotta and Wright-Phillips destroyed us last time we played Brentford, but Beck outshone both of them.
"No-one has probably heard about Mark Beck, but they will have heard about him after this.
"This is probably the best result since I became manager of this club.
"It's the proudest I've been. We have a group of players performing well above their station at the moment.
"We are coming out of a tough situation. No-one shirked anything and there was effort and determination."
