HERTFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND, November 5, 2010:
Tesco.com has partnered with MyDish.co.uk to enable customers to upload and share their favourite family recipes on the Tesco Real Food site using MyDish technology.
In addition, customers can enjoy online 'foodie' conversations within the Real Food community sharing their favourite hints, tips and recipe ideas.
Tesco is also making it easier for customers to shop for their recipe ingredients. Customers simply find the recipes they want to make from either Tesco Real Food or MyDish.co.uk, click 'add to shopping basket', and in just a few seconds all the required ingredients can be ordered online from Tesco.com.
Last year MyDish.co.uk made headlines when founder Carol Savage became the first entrepreneur to have been offered double the amount of money she was pitching for from the Dragons. Carol received two separate offers and finally agreed to a GBP100,000 deal with retail guru Deborah Meaden.
Laura Wade-Gery, CEO of Tesco.com and Tesco Direct, said: "We're really excited about working with Carol from MyDish and Deborah to support this new and exciting British business. The partnership will improve the way our customers shop online enabling them to see all the ingredients they need for their recipes and with just one click get them delivered directly to their door."
Carol Savage said: "After years of hard work this is major achievement. I'm thrilled to be working with Tesco and couldn't have done this without the help of Deborah and Dragon's Den."
Tesco's dotcom team met with Dragon's Den Deborah Meadon and MyDish founder Carol Savage this summer when the BBC filmed the deal being made at Tesco's head office. The programme aired on BBC 2.
Deborah Meaden, of Dragon's Den, said: "I decided to invest in MyDish.co.uk because I saw a winning combination of a great concept and a genuinely passionate individual with strong relevant track record. My confidence in her ability to make MyDish work has paid off as can be recognised by our new partnership with Tesco.com."
The Tesco Real Food and MyDish.co.uk customer recipes page can be found online now.

Shoe Goo
Shoe Goo is a brand of adhesive and sealant intended for repairs of athletic footwear and rollerskates.
Product history[edit]
Shoe Goo was created in 1972 by Lyman Van Vliet, a 45 year-old senior executive at Hughes Aircraft Co.[1] with a degree in physics from Wayne State University.[2] A frequent player of tennis, Van Vliet was dissatisfied with the durability of the soles of his tennis shoes and sought a method to extend their life by repairing them.[1]
Although Van Vliet already held several patents related to the aerospace industry, he had no extensive background in chemistry.[1] Nevertheless, he set to work to create an adhesive which could be used to create a pliable surface coating for shoe soles, whipping up his experimental blends in a spaghetti pot.[1] The ultimate result of Van Vliet's efforts was a polymer that was eventually marketed as "Shoe Goo".
Van Vliet founded a company called Eclectic Products and began to market his new creation via small advertisements in tennis magazines, with his wife Sandy hitting the road to gain placement in tennis pro shops.[1] Orders began to pour in. In 1974 Sandy Van Vliet convinced the retail giant K-Mart to place an order, and Eclectic Products was firmly established.[1] Although originally developed for footwear used by tennis players, Shoe Goo quickly gained a foothold in the booming jogging market of the 1970s and 1980s.[2]
Eclectic Products began modestly, beginning with just 22 orders during its first year of existence, 1972.[2] By the end of its first decade, the company employed 15 people and touted annual sales of approximately $2 million, with Lyman Van Vliet quitting his job at Hughes Aircraft so that he could devote full-time to his new enterprise.[1]
Originally based in the garage of the Van Vliet's home in Palos Verdes in Southern California's South Bay, in 1976 Eclectic Products established a manufacturing facility in nearby San Pedro.[2] In 1988, Eclectic Products was sold to the Willamette Valley Company, which moved the base of operations to Eugene, Oregon.[3]
Military snipers commonly use Shoe Goo in the construction of their ghillie suits.[citation needed]
Shoe Goo can be used as a pliable adhesive for separated shoe components, as a filler on worn shoe soles, and as a sealer to repair waterproof fabrics and footwear. Skateboarders use Shoe Goo on their skate shoes to both protect and repair damage done by the sandpaper-like "grip tape" of the skateboard. Cricketers use Shoe Goo for minor repairs to the bat and for waterproofing the toe of the bat.
The product is also used by hobbyists in lieu of rubber cement as an assembly adhesive for radio controlled models of cars and aircraft, repair of Lexan bodies, and as a waterproofing agent for model boats.
Shoe Goo is also commonly used by skydivers to repair and strengthen the soles of 'booties' on jumpsuits and wingsuits.
The Shoe Goo product has been repackaged for other uses, with Eclectic Products making use of the alternate brand names "Sportsman's Goop", for sales as a waterproof seam-sealer, and "Shoemaker in a Tube".[2]
Shoe Goo is composed of toluene, styrene-butadiene copolymer, and solvent naphtha.[4][5]

Rene Alonzo is one of several New Orleans triathletes in San Francisco to compete in the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon on Sunday.
Alonzo says this event should be on every triathlete's bucket list.
"A lot of folks who have done it from here say it's a must-do race, and I couldn't agree more," said Alonzo. "Once I did it one time, I've tried to go back every year I can."
Just like the prison of old, the triathlon will present its unique challenges to the 2,000 triathletes competing in the 27.5-mile race.
For people used to swimming in the warm water of the Gulf of Mexico, the 1.5-mile swim in the 55-degree water of San Francisco Bay may seem like the most daunting task. However, Alonzo said the biggest challenge is the 400-step sand ladder during the running portion of the race.
"There's a chain to help pull you up, that's how hard it is to make it up," said Alonzo. "They always sneak a photographer in there to catch you at your worst."
Alonzo said she and the group she trains with accept that they will have to endure the sand ladder. However, it does not mean that someone wanting to participate needs to be a competitive athlete.
"I just do it because I enjoy the camaraderie, and it helps me to stay in shape while still enjoying New Orleans' great food and drink," said Alonzo. "It's just a balance thing for me."
Alonzo and her group train for the race by swimming in Lake Pontchartrain, biking along the Lakefront and running in City Park three to four days per week. Having done the triathlon three times, Alonzo knows that the hills are also a challenge, but she says the beauty of San Francisco helps offset the pace.
"This one is a relatively easy travel race to do, and it is so absolutely gorgeous and beautiful," said Alonzo.

epistolary novel
Uses this technique to present varying first -person points of view and does not need a narrator.
a short composition on a single topic expressing the view or interpretation of the writer on that topic.
substitution of an inoffensive word or phrase for another that would be harsh, offensive, or embarrassing. Makes it sound better than it actually is but is usually more wordy than the original.
the quality of a pleasant or harmonious sound of a word or group of words as an intended effect. Often achieved through long vowels and some consonants, such as "sh".
a kind of comedy that depends on exaggerated or improbable situations, physical disasters, and sexual innuendo to amuse the audience.
figurative language
unlike literal expression, uses figures of speech such as metaphor, simile, metonymy, personification, and hyperbole. Appeals to one's sense.
first person
a character in the story tells the story, using the pronoun I. This is limited point of view since the narrator can relate only events that he or she sees or is told about.
interruption of a narrative by the introduction of an earlier event or by an image or a past experience.
flat character
a simple, one-dimensional character who remains the same, and about whom little or nothing is revealed throughout the course of the work. May serve as symbols of types of people, similar to stereotypical characters.
a character whose contrasting personal characteristics draw attention to, enhance, or contrast with those of the main character. A character who, by displaying opposite traits, emphasizes certain aspects of another.
hints at what is to come. It is sometimes noticeable only in hindsight, but usually it is obvious enough to set the reader wondering.

MOBILE, Alabama -- Today's low was 63. The record for Sept. 16 is 55, recorded in 1961.
Saturday: Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid-80s. Lows in the upper 60s. Chance of rain 10 percent or less.
Sunday: Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid-80s. Lows in the upper 60s. Chance of rain 10 percent or less.
Tomorrow's weather column by WKRG's Head Meteorologist Alan Sealls:
Finally nameless
With Maria no longer a named tropical system we enjoy a break from what's been an active Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf. We've seen 4 straight weeks of at least one named tropical system ongoing, with as many as three named storms at one time.
This hurricane season so far has produced 14 tropical storms. Three of them became hurricanes.
Enjoy this weekend. Our mild days might give the impression that the tropics have gone to sleep but local weather does not control where, when or how tropical systems start. The oceans are warm and the ingredients for tropical waves, disturbances and depressions are still there.
On average we have begun the slow decline of tropical activity for the season but we still have a long way to go. By the calendar, hurricane season ends November 30th but that doesn't mean a tropical storm or hurricane can't happen before or after that.

Division I-AA (or the Football Championship Series since 2008) may not have the flash and bright lights of their big brothers in the FBS, but don't mistake their status as inferior.
As its loyal fans will attest, FCS action is just as intense and entertaining on a weekly basis and—most of all—plays its championship game on the field instead of letting a nerdy computer system determine who gets to play for the national title.
The 2010 season will be no different when it comes to jaw-dropping moments and generating playmakers who may be relegated to syndication and peering through YouTube highlights.
To that end, let us introduce you to ten players who are already known to the small, yet growing fan base of FCS followers.

Paper or plastic? It's a question Americans are used to hearing when shopping.
Now residents of the nation's capital have a new question to consider: Will they want to pay 5 cents per bag?
Washington, D.C. has the first law in the nation forcing customers to pay if they want plastic bags.
Environmental activists say it will cut down on pollution and waste.
"Whichever state is going to pull this is off is going to have the potential to be seen as the one that has cracked this problem," said Vincent Cobb, founder of reuseit.com Web site that promotes recycling and sells reusable bags.
Now shoppers are left to bring their own bags or juggle their groceries in their arms. Others are driving to stores in neighboring states where plastic bags are still free.
Meanwhile, San Francisco has completely banned plastic bags, and Los Angeles shoppers will have to pay 25 cents for paper bags starting in July.

Their assists went down as well, averaging 17 compared to 22.8 by their opponents. Although that could be the effect of poor field goal shooting.
Free throws continues to be a main concern, they are getting enough shot attempts but are not converting them. Shooting 69.8% from the foul line during that stretch.
Aren't the Spurs supposed to perform lock down defense? Make stops when needed and close out opponents in "grind-it-out" type of games?
More importantly, are the Spurs losing their identity as a tough defensive team and are trying to outscore opponents rather than giving premium on defense? Are they relying more on offense to win games?
In other words they need to bring their defensive intensity to a higher level. That is from being good to great. Also just simply playing hard and consistent basketball for the whole 48 minutes will help.
The Spurs have to keep trying and believing in themselves. Getting wins like this could help them gain their confidence back. And it might just make the difference.
The present looks bleak, but all hope is not lost. There is still enough time to catch up.

Last week, we discussed Verified Twitter Accounts – specifically, that Minnesota Supreme Court Justice G. Barry Anderson had one, and we were looking at his re-election Campaign Finance Reports. And we are; stay tuned for what's turned up! While doing so, we also took a look at two of the other candidates for re-election to the Supreme Court – Justice David Stras, who also had a Twitter Verified Account, and Chief Justice Lorie Gildea, who didn't. Something stuck out while going through Chief Justice Gildea's reports – by omission.
Everybody these days has a campaign web site; candidates for State Supreme Court being no different. And as anybody that's ever set one up knows, they cost dough. Pick a domain name, register it, build the website, host it… Well, picking the name is free. Registration and building a website and hosting it? Not so much. The image, above, is from 2007, back when Pawlenty Appointee Justice Gildea first ran for re-election; the domain for the website is www.JusticeLorieGildea.com.
A review of Justice Gildea's Campaign Finance Reports for 2007 does not show an expenditure nor an in-kind donation for any of that. Nor does her 2008 Report. Clearly it's there; registered 09 Feb 07.
Fast forward to February 2012, and the image to the right. It's the "Who Is" Domain Registration (www.ChiefJusticeLorieGildea.com) information for the Pawlenty appointed Gildea, who is now running for re-election for Chief State Supreme Court Justice.
On Chief Justice's campaign website, the disclaimer on the bottom reads "Prepared and paid for by Minnesotans for Chief Justice Gildea, P.O. Box…"
Yet again, a review of Chief Justice Gildea's Campaign Finance Reports for 2012 does not show an expenditure nor an in-kind donation for the new campaign website domain. Nor for building a new website, nor for hosting a website.
If there is anyone who's campaign finance reports should be squeaky clean and transparent, it's a judge running for re-election – especially the judge running to retain the seat for Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court.
An email and phone call for an explanation to the Campaign Treasurer for both campaigns have not been returned.

Regular Readers will probably remember yours truly, the ol' TwoPutter, had media credentials for the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte. And we had a LOT of fun covering Charlotte 2012, beginning with finding fake lemons in the tree outside of failed Veep Candidate Paul Ryan's WI Office. While in the media area of Charlotte 2012, I happened across the Twitter Office of, well, Twitter – picture to the right.
So I stopped to talk to the nice people at Twitter, and asked 'em how yours truly, the ol' TwoPutter, could get one o' those elusive, but coveted, blue checkmarks for my Twitter account – signifying a Twitter "Verified Account". There's a screenshot, below, on what these check marks look like.
Here's what Twitter says about 'em:
What kinds of accounts get verified?
Twitter proactively verifies accounts on an ongoing basis to make it easier for users to find who they're looking for. We concentrate on highly sought users in music, acting, fashion, government, politics, religion, journalism, media, advertising, business, and other key interest areas. We verify business partners from time to time and individuals at high risk of impersonation.
We do not accept requests for verification from the general public. If you fall under one of the above categories and your Twitter account meets our qualifications for verification, we may reach out to you in the future.(emphasis added)
I figured it'd be a slam dunker; there I was with the media credentials, and I already had worked with Twitter to get a few nasty fake twitter accounts (stuff)-canned that had been causing problems for yours truly, the ol' TwoPutter.
So when I asked the nice person at Twitter, in the media area, at Charlotte 2012 about it, the nice person handed me off to another nice person working for Twitter – in sales.
Yes, "sales." And here's what I was told:
For most folks, it takes dough to get one of those elusive, but coveted, blue check marks that indicate a "verified account;" a blue check mark like you see to the right on a screen shot of Minnesota Supreme Court G. Barry Anderson's Twitter account.
How much dough, I asked. $15,000.00 was the answer; but not necessarily all at once – it could be spread out over a couple of months. I explained I had read the Twitter "Verified Account" policy; it seemed I qualified for a freebee for two reasons (as outlined above). Reply? Nope. Cash. Well, it was also explained that if someone who was already spending dough on Twitter ads and promoted tweets, etc already had one, Twitter often gave one o' those elusive but coveted check marks to a friend/associate/whatever of one of said spenders as a comp.
I checked around with a few media types in the media areas while in Charlotte, and heard in essence: yep, that's how the "Verified Account" game was played. Did a little digging on google too. No biggie; if that's the way the game was played and since I didn't have – let alone plan on spending – $15 biggies, no blue check mark for yours truly, the ol' TwoPutter.
Fast forward to October 8th, 2012, and a story by Strib Reporter Rachel Stassen-Berger: "Promoted Justice On Twitter". Rachel writes about the blue "verified account" check mark that's shown on the screen shot you see just a little bit above on the Twitter Account of G. Barry Anderson, running for re-election for his seat on the bench on Minnesota's Supreme Court.
Here's Rachel's lede:
Supreme Court Justice G. Barry Anderson may be making history, 140-characters at a time.
The justice, first appointed to the high court by Gov. Tim Pawlenty in 2004, is using promoted tweets to advance his campaign to stay on the court. He is among the first prominent Minnesota politicians to use promotion, Twitter's version of online advertising, in his campaign. (emphasis added)
Rachel also noted that Justice Anderson's Digital Director is the Justice's son, Grant Anderson. Noted now is that Justice Anderson's campaign web page is credited, on the web page, to Election Energy.
Didn't think much of Rachel's story, at the time. And pretty much forgot about it, until I saw and retweeted the tweet to the right. OK, a lot has been said by a lot of people about Michael Brodkorb – including by me – for, ahem, "a variety of reasons."
One thing a lot of people that have said a lot about Michael Brodkorb also say is that when it comes down to political skills and instincts, it pays to pay attention to Michael Brodkorb. So if Michael thought "the campaign spending & contribution report" of Supreme Court Justice G. Barry Anderson was "interesting" – well, yours truly, the ol' TwoPutter, pays attention.
And said report is indeed interesting – and we'll get to what yours truly, the ol' TwoPutter has found.
So – stay tuned!!!

Erik Paulsen, R=TargetCorp, first door knocked me back somewhere around 1994. Didn't like his politics then; dam sure don't like 'em now. And I was really surprised to find out about a Town Hall last night at the Mound High School – usually, they're announced late at inconvenient times at inconvenient if not unaccessible places.
So when I pulled into the parking lot an saw a lot of cars, I figured there was a lot o' folk there for the Town Hall. I figured wrong; there was a football game across the lot. Wonder how many wanted to be at both places?
Anyway, Paulsen pulled his "gosh, shucks, gee whiz – I'm really a moderate" schtick throughout the whole Town Hall; it's an act he's been practicing for years. He started out calling for civility – and for the most part, it was a civil affair.
"Most part." Seems the #RWNJ acting the most obnoxiously – IMNSHO – in the crowd was none other than Joe Arwood, the little-known St. Bonifacious City Council Member who announced he's going to oppose Klobuchar and make a run for the Senate. I shoulda kept the ol' video camera on THIS guy!
Highlight of the Town Hall was during the Q & A – and I have to give a LOT of credit for Paulsen on the Q&A. Paulsen only talked for about 20 minutes, and then opened the floor for questions.
And for 40 minutes, Paulsen took all questions; for 40 minutes, those that raised their hands got to ask. No pre-screening; no taking of only "friendly" questions. Gotta give credit on this one!
Back to the highlight – Paulsen talked about the long time it takes for a manufacturer to get FDA approval for devices; that because of this, manufacturers were going to Europe to speed up taking new product to market.
So this guy gets the microphone, and basically says: "Hey! I'm in the medical device industry, and the reason it takes so long is the FDA is shorthanded. How about we hire some more workers to speed the process up?"
"Um, gosh, shucks, the graphs; ummm… well, I, ah….."
Got that one on tape!
Anyway, here's some tweets – and a few comments. One of 'em has to do with a question by former GOP State Senator Ed Oliver…

I'm guessing Paulsen's polling is showing that the 3rd isn't as "red" as Paulsen would like, so he's continuing his "I'm a moderate in the mold of Frenzel & Ramstad" act.

OK, this one surprised me – Paulsen starts out decrying the incivility going around today – and to be quite frank, the worst of the worst is from guys like Tom Emmer: "I don't think you can call yourself a freedom-loving American and be a Democrat."
As noted before, Ed Oliver is a former State Senator, and a veteran. He and 12 GOPer former state legislators came out "for" IP{ Candidate for Governor Tom Horner in the last election, for this, GOPer Party Boss about those 13: "There's a special place in hell for these quislings."
Sutton later kinda backed off; claiming "quisling" was synonymous with "traitor." Never one to miss a chance for incivility, Sutton explained: "It would be like saying someone's a Benedict Arnold."
Way to go, Tony!!!
That's about as incivil as you can get, especially as 2 of the 13 served in wars; George Pillsbury WW! and Bill Belanger in the Korean War.
Anyway, Oliver's question got the predictable "gosh, shucks, gee whiz – I'm really a moderate" schtick and the "hey – I don't do that" response.
True – Paulsen doesn't throw bombs; he doesn't HAVE to.
He's got Brodkorb's Blog and Sutton around to do it for him.

It's a shame Politifact.org doesn't regularly factcheck local rightwingnut newspaper columnists; Katherine Kersten would be a sure bet to give Michele Bachmann a run for the money.
Earlier today, Katie posted this:
"DFLers' second complaint is that business groups relied on below-the-belt negative advertising. This rings hollow. In 2010, the left threw the first and dirtiest mud ball.

"Here's the answer: In 2009, they ran the first negative ad for the 2010 Minnesota elections."
"Who are FEC Tony and MudSlingerMike?"
"You are correct!"
Smart money was betting that with the election of Tony Sutton and Michael Brodkorb, the GOP was going down and dirtier. So far, those bets look like winners. Over 15 months out, and Sutton and Broadkorb seem bound and determined to make the 2010 elections the nastiest ever. (MnProgressiveProject.com)
Points to whoever can differentiate between that GOPer liar from the 6th district, and that GOPer liar on the Strib Editorial Page.
Bonus points to the first who can name who MudSlingerMike and FEC Tony tossed that first "mud ball" at, back in July of 2009.

…what do you do, and how do you square it with the Citizens United v. FEC Supreme Court Case?
Reason I ask, is I saw the following tweet from the current stooge running the cut 'n paster over at Brodkorb's Blog:

As regular readers know, I've been following the sordid story of the GOP Endorsed Eden Prairie Mayor, Phil Young. And – NOT to my surprise – local GOPers have been defending fellow GOPer Phil Young for falsifying reimbursement forms by filling out for meetings he never attended. Make no mistake, Young – in his interview with Police – admitted he knew when he filled out the forms what he was putting down was not true.
The local GOPers defending GOPer Young include GOP State Rep Jenifer Loon's Campaign Manager (Gary Stevens) and a GOP SD42 Vice Chair (Kevin Schultz). Schultz claimed he was speaking only for himself; yeah – "right."
Yet yesterday, FEC Tony (GOP Chair Tony Sutton) and his side-kick MudSlingerMike (GOP Deputy Chair Michael Brodkorb) took a cheap shot (hey, they're GOPers; whaddya expect?) at State Auditor Rebecca Otto.
Which, of course, is "Today's Example Of GOPers Care About Protecting Public Funds (Except When They Don't)"
So I'll be talking with Rebecca Otto today on Quick On The Uptake – I'm sitting in for Host Mike McIntee!
Now, State Auditor Otto probably can't say much; as required by state law her office was notified early on about GOPer Young dippin' into the ol' Taxpayer Till. But I'm sure she'll have plenty to say about the cheap shot the GOPers took at her!
I'll also be talking with John Van Hecke from MN2020.org about a report from economic policy fellow Lee Egerstrom that looks at how Northern European countries have heavily influenced the Minnesota economy and its social safety net systems; fellow blogger Dave Mindeman, and State Rep Frank Hornstein, who just got back from the Gulf – we'll talk about how the BP Oil Spill and how it might affect Minnesota's migratory birds.
The call-in number is 952-946-6205 to join in the conversation!
So tune in your radio today to AM-950 KTNF, or listen live on your computer, here!

So, I see the tweet, from MudSlingerMike:
mbrodkorb The bad press continues for Congressman Collin Peterson; http://tinyurl.com/m3n23w; #mngop #mn2010
So, I link on the tinyurl, and read this:
But Republicans on Tuesday saw the gaffe as an opportunity to make headway in Peterson's conservative Seventh Congressional District, which he has securely held for many years. In 2008, he won 72 percent of the vote.
Got that? Less than a year ago, DFLer Colin Peterson won 72% of the vote.
So, what does the intrepid Deputy Chair of the GreedOverPrinciples Party say about Colin Peterson?
"This has really I think energized activists in the area and is going to lend [itself] to a first-tier candidate coming forward to run against him next year," said Minnesota GOP deputy chair Michael Brodkorb, adding that there has been an "absolute explosion" of interest in the seat in the past 24 hours." (Strib)
Say, Brodkorb? An "absolute explosion" of interest in taking on a guy that just won with 72 percent of the vote??!?
Yeah, "right."
And a "first tier" candidate to boot? Not gonna happen – no "first tier" candidates remain in today's GreedOverPrinciples party. T-baggers and "birthers"? You got pawlenty. "First tier"? Not so much.
Oh, noticed this tweet, from MudSlingerMike, too:
RT @MinnPostRSS: Minnesota GOP ready to launch ad campaign against Peterson remarks: http://bit.ly/DByJR
Say, Mikey? Good luck with that "ad buy" you're tryin' to sell. When you say "five figure ad buy" that really means "$999.99 or less" – yes?
Although personally, I wish the GOPers would dump a coupla hundred thousand into the 7th, between now and the new year….

"In the House" is a wicked little French fable about the power of art in general and storytelling in particular.
So urbane, in fact, does Francois Ozon's French language movie seem in its narrative ironies that you would think that for the time being it could stand, quite nicely, as a classroom exhibit of French irony. It was, though, based on a work by Spanish playwright Juan Mayorga, another of whose plays is based on the true story of a German concentration camp in World War II that was actually investigated by designated "authorities" and cleared of all suspicion of mass murder. Mayorga, clearly, is a man fond of tales told to idiots (or, at least people capable of acting like idiots).
"In the House" is about an excruciatingly bored high school literature teacher (Fabrice Luchini) who is suddenly confronted with a student who can actually write.
For a first assignment where he asked his students to narrate the events of their weekend ("worst class I've ever had in my life," he complains to his wife about kids who return to him tales of pizza and teenage nothingness), he is given an essay by a student (Ernst Umhauer) who watches a "perfect" family from the park who lives in a house many times bigger than his own. It is the house where a fellow student lives with his parents. It is also a house where the student/watcher openly plots to eventually insinuate himself as his duncey schoolmate's math tutor.
"To be continued" is how that first essay ends.
And how.
Far more impressed than he's able to let on, the teacher reads the essay aloud to his wife (Kristin Scott Thomas), who is struggling to run an art gallery and keep it afloat.
Did I tell you the name of the school? It's the "Lycee Gustave Flaubert." There's an awful lot of narrative play in this movie. And, believe me, we're only beginning.
What happens is that the student's essays become more and more involving for both his teacher and his teacher's spouse – so much so that it is clear to everyone that they are as much manipulation as anything else.
And when those stories indeed do inveigle the teacher to cross the line and violate his profession, just for the sake of finding out what happens next in the story, this little fable about the power of storytelling is in full swing. In its own way, it's telling us why people watch "The Good Wife" and "Mad Men" on Sunday nights.
We in the audience know that, from that point in the movie, almost anything is possible – love, death, sex, heaven only knows.
"In the House" is very, very clever, though, about how it goes about its business. It all stays as plausible as possible within its completely implausible structure. Our story here is about the nature of stories themselves. We're being told about a manipulative student who hooks his teacher and his wife into the student's tales of voyeurism, manipulation and the power of lies that everyone should be able to see through – but can't.
Soon the student is telling tales of spying on husband/wife conversations "in the house." He's hearing about things no 16-year-old has any business knowing about a friend's parents. He's investigating their medicine cabinet and finding its tell-tale contents (Xanax, for instance).
The student's readers – his teacher and his wife – are following it all and coming to their own conclusions. The teacher's pedagogical "input" becomes his way of altering the story, i.e. changing the lives of his other student and his loving but struggling parents.
The constant smirk on the narrator's face is pretty much the way the entire story is told, too, by Ozon, which gives it all a malicious tang.
A nice sidelight to this ultra-European movie, by the way, is how much the men in the family, under such malicious scrutiny, like watching NBA basketball on their television sets. They are, get this now, Memphis Grizzlies fans.
The ending of the film is very much the ending of Ozon, a storyteller ("The Swimming Pool," "8 Women") who clearly has a storyteller's faith in the purity in his art.
I wish, frankly, at the end it had exhibited more of the anarchic sting of the young boy who has, far too early in life, discovered just how immensely, indeed maliciously, powerful a story can be.
To be continued.

iT'S NO FUN at the Bank anymore.
It hasn't been for a while.
The Phillies won the hearts of a city that had forgotten them by playing baseball with a joy unlike any other team in town.
They smiled. They laughed. They ran hard and they dived and they had a ton of fun.
No more.
Now, it's about dollars, and wins, and branding.
It has been ever since the Phillies broke the bank and raided their farm system for Roy Halladay, then Roy Oswalt, then Cliff Lee, then Jonathan Papelbon.
The ballclub has become a corporation. Each game is a venture. Each loss riles stockholders.

The superiority of autologous saphenous vein grafts over synthetic prostheses in the surgical correction of femoral and popliteal artery occlusive disease is conceded by most surgeons. An alternate source of autologous graft material would thus appear to be most desirable for the occasional patient whose saphenous veins either have been excised previously or are in some way anatomically unsuitable for use in grafting.
Autologous fascia lata femoris is readily obtainable and would appear to lend itself to this use. Fascia lata femoris has been used for many purposes in surgery including the repair of hernias1 and closure of chest wall defects following the Urban type of radical mastectomy.2 Several attempts to use rectus abdominis fascia for arterial grafting3,4,5 have proven unsuccessful, the fascial grafts being subject to aneurysmal dilatation and rupture. In contrast, Cousar and Lam6 used rectus abdominis fascia successfully in a relatively short-term experiment.

Featured Golf News
Scotland - A Golf Excursion of a Lifetime
Eleven days, 10 rounds of golf, the ball in my pocket more often than I care to mention, and I returned home with these thoughts driven into my subconscious:
One of the Views from Kingsbarns
Pot bunkers are a diabolical hazard that most certainly once served as a form of medieval torture.
Heather is one nasty, unforgiving lady.
It was the golf excursion of a lifetime. Four friends who've known each other for 30 years making their way across the pond and onto the most famous courses in the world. We retraced the history of the British Open, beginning at Prestwick - where it began in 1860, and finishing on the Old Course at St. Andrews, where golf was introduced in the 12th century. There were rounds at Muirfield, Royal Troon, Turnberry and Carnoustie, along with visits to lesser-known layouts like Kingsbarns, North Berwick and Gleneagles.
Although all the Open courses are available for public play, planning the trip required diligence. Tee times were booked up to nine months in advance, while Muirfield and St. Andrews demanded persuasion and dogged determination. Unless traveling on a tour package, tee times at the Old Course are available mainly through a lottery on the day before play. As for Muirfield - called by some the stuffiest club in the world, tee times, it seems, are available only by whim.
Golf in Scotland isn't solely about a dramatically different style of play than Americans are accustomed to encountering. It's also about discovering the game's origins, and walking the same rock-hard soil as its greatest competitors. Our journey took us through the isolated Scottish countryside, down narrow two-lane roads that meander past rolling green fields, thatched-roof stone cottages and scores of sheep. And we always wound up on the steps of history.
At Prestwick, I attempted to play out of the cavernous "Cardinal" bunker that once bedeviled Old Tom Morris. At Carnoustie, I teed off the first hole beside a plaque honoring Ben Hogan (who won his only British Open there in 1953). At Royal Troon, I was humbled by the Postage Stamp hole. At St. Andrews, I was humbled by just about everything.
We began in southwest Scotland, where Prestwick, Royal Troon and Turnberry are all within a one-hour drive. It seemed natural to start at Prestwick, which hosted the first 12 Open Championships and hasn't changed much in 150 years. Although it long ago disappeared from the Open rotation, Prestwick is a must-see for serious golfers. It features an endless array of blind shots, bumpy, rolling fairways, deep bunkers and thick rough. No one would design a layout like it today, which merely adds to its charm.
The "Cardinal" bunker splits the fairway on the 482-yard, par-5 third hole and is fronted by a skyscraper-sized wall. The fifth hole, called the "Himalayas," is one of the world's most famous par-3s, requiring a 206-yard blind tee shot over a mountain. We learned too late that the green is surrounded by bunkers. Caddies are a fine idea at Prestwick.
From Prestwick, we headed south along the Atlantic coastline for a two-night stay at the magnificent grand old hotel at Westin Turnberry Resort. The hotel's red-peaked spires overlook two championship golf courses, along with a majestic lighthouse and Ailsa Craig, the dramatic rock that sits 11 miles out to sea.
Author Duca Gets Set on Kingsbarns Par-3
The Ailsa course has hosted four Opens, the most recent famously known as the one Tom Watson nearly captured at age 59. But the tournament that announced the resort's scenic pleasures to the world occurred in 1977, forever known as the "Duel in the Sun," for its four consecutive days of unusually warm, sun-splashed weather and for the titanic battle between Watson and Jack Nicklaus.
The Ailsa might not rank as the most challenging of the Open courses, especially in calm weather. But none is more breathtaking, with views of the Mull of Kintyre and the Isle of Arran. The fourth through 11th holes line the shoreline, followed by four holes framed by sandy dunes, and then the awe-inspiring 10th and 11th flanked by craggy rocks that tumble down a cliff toward the sea. The championship tee at the ninth, backed up to the edge of the sea, offers an unparalleled view of the lighthouse to the left and an imposing tee shot that must carry a gorge onto a narrow landing area.
After being awed by Turnberry's scenery, we anxiously anticipated the next morning's round at Royal Troon. Be forewarned: Only golfers with single-digit handicaps are allowed to play from the tips here. But Royal Troon is plenty testing from the members' tees. The heather is just as thick, the greens just as sloped and the pot bunkers just as intimidating.
I came to despise those pot bunkers by the time I left Troon. I'd landed in a dozen or so the day before at Turnberry, and when I found another on Troon's first hole, my cursing could be heard down the second fairway. By the time I landed at the par-3 123-yard eighth hole, known as the Postage Stamp for its minuscule green, I had declared war on pot bunkers.
But the frustrations of Troon were minor compared to the anxiety we experienced the next day, when we had a 9:10 a.m. tee time at Muirfield. We were told that the drive from our cottage would take 30 minutes. We weren't informed that making it across the Firth of Forth Bridge at rush hour would require 45 minutes, and then it would be another hour to Muirfield.
And there was another surprise when we finally made it across the bridge and learned that one member of our foursome forgot his golf shoes.
"Do we have time to turn back?" he asked.
I thought, he's not only shoeless, he's clueless. We kept driving. Upon reaching Gullane, where Muirfield is located, we spotted a golf shop and instructed him to buy the first pair that fit. Moments later, Clueless Shoeless was $140 lighter in the wallet and we were speeding toward the golf course. By the time we located the road to Muirfield, it was 9:08.
Tick, tick, tick.
The parking lot was 200 yards from the golf course entrance, and we didn't actually know where the entrance was. We were told to walk to the end of the dead-end road. I hopped out of the car and began running until I reached an imposing iron gate that stretched across the road, where I came upon a gold plate with the words, "The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers."
It was 9:10 - exactly. I frantically pounded on the gate. "How do I get in?" I shouted.
"Open the gate," came the reply in a measured, proper Scottish voice.
The man, a proper Scotsman in blue blazer and tie, was the Muirfield starter. When I provided my name, he looked at his watch. And then he looked at me, eyebrows raised. And then he looked at his watch again.
"We got bad advice on directions, one fool forget his shoes, we missed the turn," I spit out, thinking of every excuse I could muster.
He looked at his watch once more. Finally, he said, "We'll send the next group ahead, and then put you out."
Is it any surprise that none of us played well at Muirfield? But the bigger shock was that none us were especially impressed with the course. Words like bland and boring came to mind, and I was gratified after returning home to hear former U.S. and British Open champion Johnny Miller echo those sentiments.
The next morning we were at Carnoustie, site of the 1999 Open that came to be called "Car-nasty," due to the difficulty of the course. After Muirfield, we figured we were about to go from being slapped around to being pummeled beyond recognition. But the rough was not nearly as thick and high as in '99 and the fairways were in superb condition. Still, the omnipresent bunkers are always in play and the 520-yard, par-5 sixth, named "Hogan's Alley," is one of the tightest, most demanding holes in golf.
Although the town of Carnoustie borders the North Sea, the golf course is inland, with the lone water hazards being the burn that snakes across most of layout. It was at Carnoustie's 18th where Jean Van de Velde - needing only a double-bogey six to win the 1999 Open - scored seven and later lost in a playoff.
A Rare Moment of Inactivity on the Old Course's 1st Tee
So as we arrived at the 18th tee, I chided asked my playing partners, "You need six to win the Open. Can you do it?"
I then drove into the Barry burn.
After Carnoustie, we left the Open courses to play North Berwick, Gleneagles and Kingsbarns. Of the three, Gleneagles is the most difficult and most Americanized, with rolling, groomed fairways and lightning-fast greens. North Berwick and Kingsbarns are spectacular links-style courses that should make the cut on any Scottish golf trip.
North Berwick was founded in 1832 and enjoys a world-wide reputation. Set alongside the ocean, with views of Bass Rock and a wide variety of bird life, the unique layout has a stone wall splitting the approach on the third hole (they tell you to aim for the gap in the wall), numerous opportunities to land on the beach or in treacherous gullies, deep pot bunkers and one of the world's most copied par-3 greens in its famous "Redan" hole.
Kingsbarns, located about 10 minutes outside St. Andrews, opened in 2000, although its origins as a golf course date to 1793. Nonetheless, it is perhaps the most visually stunning and finest example of a Scottish links course I have ever seen. Every hole features an ocean view, while the rolling fairways and glass-like, severely tilted greens provide the ultimate test.
But it was all a prelude for the Old Course at St. Andrews. Simply, there is no substitute. It's not the stiffest layout on the Open rotation, or the most scenic, or even the most creative. But when you tee off in front of the Royal and Ancient Club of St. Andrews or walk across the Swilken bridge, there is no finer place on earth a golfer should care to be.
Playing the Old Course is to discover quirky designs, seven double-greens and 112 pot bunkers, while being constantly reminded that this is where it all started.
Looking at the 1st Tee & 18th Green on the Old Course
For me, the round was highlighted by the 461-yard, par-4 17th, named the "Road Hole." Could I cut the corner by driving over the Old Course Hotel and back onto the fairway? I could. Could I avoid the infamous pot bunker that fronts the green while managing not to hit long onto the road? I could. Could I make a six-foot putt for par on what is generally considered the world's most difficult par-4? I couldn't.
Funny thing, though. As I sat afterward sipping a single malt Scotch on the outside patio of the Jigger Inn, which overlooks the 17th hole, the sun was setting in the distance, bathing the famous R&A clubhouse in a soft, golden glow. With darkness descending, we lit up cigars on this, the final night of our trip.
And we talked, and we laughed, and we talked, and we laughed about all we had experienced on the linkslands of Scotland. And all those bogeys, pot bunkers, and balls in my pocket just melted away.

What RFC contains the standards for what error is returned when a
particular operation is attempted? Specifically, I'd like to know the
RFC that specifies how IPv4 clients are supposed to error out when
they attempt to connect to a host that doesn't exist, e.g. for example
say the client is in network 192.168.0.0/24 and attempts to connection
to host 192.168.0.24 but that host is down (for whatever reason).
I've been searching now for some time, and have found some interesting
RFCs. What's really irritating is I remember find, a few months ago,
information that answers this question (though I don't recall now if
it were an RFC). I'm curious because I know that the behavior, in the
scenario I painted above, changed from v4 to v6. In v4, I'm getting
the error ETIMEDOUT but using v6 I get EHOSTUNRECH. So, what RFC(s)
specify what error type for any given error?

New Canadian online magazine Hardly debuts this Friday, and it's poising itself to be this generation's Sassy . We miss Sassy—and so do millions of ladies around the world, even if they weren't of reading age when the magazine was around. Dozens of publications have tried to emulate its earnest yet snarky perspective, but not many have been so blatant about its inspiration. From founder Jennifer Lee, "Those magazines had their own voice, but they also spoke to us—they gave us a voice. They reminded you that the world was bigger than your high school, and they introduced you to bands, writers, artists, and fashion designers that made the world beyond your immediate experience seem unbelievably exciting." In the upcoming issue, expect to see profiles on young gymnasts, a chat with Amy Millan from Stars about her high school experience, and a feature with student artists from Etobicoke School of the Arts. We've got high hopes for this online glossy—but here's to Hardly growing into something that's all its own. (Jezebel and National Post)

Forgive yourself (as if there's anything to forgive)Alice Bradley
Oh sure, I'm all WRITE WRITE NEVER STOP WRITING over here, but guess what? Guess who dropped the ball on her own project for over a week? Guess who has two thumbs and is pointing at herself? This one!
I have all manner of excuses; would you like to hear some? I was traveling! I was, uh, tired? Then I was back home, and my family needed me! And on and on.
It's tough to get back into the routine of writing every day when you drop it for even one day, so getting back to my project after ten whole days has been … interesting. When it comes to this particular project, I never read back what I wrote on the previous days (because then I could waste hours editing, and I'm not ready to edit, not yet) so today when I finally got back to work, I pretty much wrote with no idea what had come before. I just couldn't remember. When I eventually get to editing, I'm sure there's going to be a weird transition in this area. It's not the worst thing to have to contend with.
So it's rough and awkward when you return to work after slacking off, and I don't recommend it. That said, it's not the end of the world, and it's certainly not worth beating yourself up. I did that for years, and it sure as hell does not help your productivity, not even a little. All that self-criticism just drains you of any will to live, much less get on with your work.
And anyway, what does it matter, how you spent your time in the past? There's not a single thing any of us can do about it. The moment you excoriate yourself for not doing the work you should have been doing for the past week, or month, or decade, you're wasting your creative energies in telling a story about yourself. Drop it, and tell a better story.

Social Security is not socialism or communism
I swore I wouldn't do this anymore, but I feel that I must reply to the "Sound Off" comment about Social Security ("Bunch of socialists," June 4) and the June 4 letter to the editor titled "Socialism, communism are not the same."
The subject in both the "Sound Off" call and the letter was socialism vs. communism. Social Security is not either of those.
I would like to point out that the elderly referred to in "Sound Off" (which I am a part of) spent their entire working careers paying a percentage of their gross income into this. At my retirement, it was 15 percent.
The Social Security program was insurance to supplement our retirement.
SSI, on the other hand, is true socialism. This is a program where money is taken from the Social Security fund and given to some who have never invested a dime.
This was not a part of the original Social Security program, but a giveaway by the Lyndon Johnson administration funded by the work force that had no choice but to contribute.
We should also be clear that Medicare is not a socialist program, as all of us (the elderly) are paying for this through a monthly deduction from our earned Social Security checks.
Medicaid is the epitome of socialism.

Obama wants to serve four terms as president
Did President Barack Obama have a dream? Yes, I believe he did. And I believe he is still dreaming.
I believe he dreamed of becoming America's first black president, and he did. Now I believe he's dreaming of becoming the first president ever to serve four full terms. Yes, four — stay with me.
One's first thought regarding this possible reality is "No, he can't because our law limits him to two full terms." Remember this: Franklin Roosevelt served three terms and was elected to a fourth term. However, before completing his fourth term he died.
We then went back to the traditional two terms by adopting the 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution in 1951.
With what Obama has done to date — such as Obama health care, along with many other shenanigans that call into question a person's sound judgement — don't think this can't become a reality for him.
If Obama is re-elected, I predict the first hour of his agenda will be to start lobbying Congress to revise the two-term limit.
I am 90 years old. I went through the Great Depression and was in World War II. However, in my entire lifetime, in my humble opinion, the current president is the least effective and most unwise president ever.
Our country's security is in great jeopardy. God help our families and beloved country.

Background & History
The T.L. Gilmer Dental Society is the five county western Illinois component of the American Dental Association, comprised of approximately 55 general and specialty dentists.
The Give Kids A Smile® name was first used by the Greater St. Louis Dental Society and a group of dentists who set up a temporary full-service clinic that treated nearly 400 children over two days in February 2002. It is now coordinated by the American Dental Association.
Since then the program has grown to a national scale, resulting in the treatment of over 4.5 million children. Events take place at over 2000 locations across the nation, with over 27,000 dental team volunteers and 12,000 dentists, providing free services to underserved children. As of 2010, over $170 million in free care has been provided to the children, all accomplished without government bureaucracy or taxpayer burden.
