1. Rinse berries (if using fresh). Remove leaves, stems and core. Give them a course chop.
2. Place berries and orange juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Gently bring to a boil then lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
3. Allow sauce to reduce and thicken. After 10 minutes, taste and add sugar one tablespoon at a time to reach desired level of sweetness.
4. Puree 1/3 of the sauce in a blender, be careful to vent the steam. Return puree to the pan, and allow to cool.
5. Spoon over big bowls of rich vanilla ice cream, and enjoy this sunny summer treat!
Try it on angel food cake, cheesecake, and Morning Delight TM Buttermilk Waffles and French Toast, too!

Harold Rosen (electrical engineer)
- For the educationalist, see Harold Rosen (educationalist).
Harold A. Rosen (born 1926 in New Orleans, Louisiana) is an American electrical engineer, known as "the father of the geostationary satellite", and "father of the communications satellite".[1] He formed and led the team that designed and built the first geosynchronous communications satellite, Syncom, for Hughes Aircraft Company.
Rosen graduated from Tulane University in 1947 with a Bachelor of Engineering degree in electrical engineering. He received his M.S. (1948) and Ph.D. (1951) in electrical engineering from the California Institute of Technology. While still in graduate school, he began working for Raytheon, where he helped develop early anti-aircraft guided missiles, making many innovations in the fields of radar and missile guidance and control. After joining the Hughes Aircraft Company in 1956, and while he was working on the development of airborne radars, the world was catapulted into the space age by the 1957 launch of Sputnik, the world's first artificial satellite. At the same time, his department's most important program was cancelled. His boss, Frank Carver, challenged him to find a worthwhile new project that could keep the skilled staff gainfully employed.
Stimulated by the possibilities of the new Space Age, Rosen wanted it to be some kind of space program.[2] Because at that time international telephony was very expensive and hard to arrange, and transoceanic television was impossible, he decided it should be some kind of communication satellite since these problems could be solved that way. He began to research what kind of communication satellite system would work best for this purpose. At the time, Rosen was unaware of science writer Arthur C. Clarke's 1945 description of a geosynchronous satellite, but he was aware of the conventional wisdom regarding geostationary satellites, expressed most stridently by the highly-regarded Bell Labs, at that time the world's leading communications R&D entity, in a March 1959 IRE Journal titled "Transoceanic Communications Via Satellites," written by John Pierce and Rudy Kompfner. They expressed the view that geostationary satellites would be too heavy to be launched by the rockets that were then available. And, even if geostationary satellites could be launched, their presumed complexity would prevent them from having a long enough lifetime to be commercially viable. Rosen, in reading their paper, felt otherwise. He reasoned that since Bell Labs designed communication equipment for ground applications, it had little incentive for keeping the weight down. Also, he was confident that his previous experience in guided missile design was more relevant for designing the control system for such a satellite and that the supposedly-complex control system the authors claimed would be necessary would not be needed.
Rosen had an epiphany when it occurred to him that if he used spin-phased impulses on a spin-stabilized satellite, he could have a simple, long-lived control system to go along with the satellite's lightweight electronics. He gathered a small team of gifted colleagues (most notably, Don Williams, Tom Hudspeth and John Mendel) to convert the concept into a design for a practical geostationary communication satellite system. He was able to convince an initially reluctant management to invest in the development of a prototype, and subsequently convince the U.S. government to fund the Syncom program, a flight program that was based on the Hughes prototype. After a discouraging rocket failure that doomed Syncom I in February 1963, Syncom II was successfully launched in August 1963. It was followed by Syncom III in 1964, in time to relay live television signals from Tokyo during the Summer Olympics. The first commercial satellite, Early Bird, was launched in 1965. With communication satellites a commercial reality, Hughes formed a division to pursue this as a business, and Rosen became its technical director. He later became a vice president of Hughes and a member of its policy board in 1975. In these roles he was key in helping to build the world's largest communications satellite business at Hughes Aircraft Company.
Upon his retirement from Hughes in 1992, he joined with his brother Benjamin in another development project.
Rosen Motors[edit]
In 1993 Harold Rosen and his brother Benjamin founded Rosen Motors in Woodland Hills, California. They developed a gas turbine-powered series hybrid automotive powertrain using a 55,000 rpm flywheel energy storage subsystem to provide bursts of acceleration to augment the turbine's more steady power output. The flywheel also stored energy through regenerative braking. The flywheel was composed of a titanium hub with a carbon fiber cylinder and was gimbal mounted to minimize adverse gyroscopic effects on vehicle handling. The prototype vehicle was a Saturn, modified to accept the new engine/flywheel unit. It was successfully road tested in the Mojave Desert in January 1997 but was never mass-produced, when the automakers to whom it was demonstrated chose not to go with the flywheel technology.[3] The company was dissolved in November 1997.[4] Their sister company, Capstone Turbine Corporation (Tarzana, Los Angeles) received the company's technology and continued to develop and market it after 1997.
After the closure of Rosen Motors, Rosen became a consultant for Boeing in the design of new satellite systems.
Harold Rosen was born on March 20, 1926, in New Orleans, Louisiana. In 1944-1946, he served in the U.S. Navy which provided him with hands-on experience with radio communications and the then-new field of radars. In 1949, Rosen married Rosetta, and they had two sons, Robert (born 1950) and Rocky (born 1966). She died in 1969. In 1984 he married Deborah Castleman, a satellite systems engineer also working at Hughes Aircraft Company.[5] They reside in Santa Monica, California.[6]
Honors and recognitions[edit]
Rosen has more than 80 patents. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and the AIAA, and a member of the National Academy of Engineering. Rosen has received numerous awards which include:

Following the successful roll out of the Android 4.2.2 update for most members of the Nexus family, now the update has hit the Nexus 4.
We had reported to you earlier that Google has released the Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) operating system update for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10. The users of the Nexus 4 devices must have felt left out earlier, but now it's their turn to come parallel with the other Nexus devices.
The bunch of new additions that arrive accompanying the Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) update includes, a unique notification sound that will be played by the device while using the wireless charging feature and a refreshed notification sound for low battery.
The update does not limit itself just to the new tones, but also introduces a better Bluetooth streaming along with the provision of additional details with the download of applications such as estimated time and percentage of download completed. However, the newly introduced Android 4.2.2 update for the Nexus devices does not bring any improvement for the limited LTE functionality of the device apart from a few bug fixes.
The ones who dislike waiting for the updates to hit their devices can download the 512MB update manually direct from Google. We hope you will have fun with a good internet speed to enjoy.

What Our Bible Study Partners Are Saying!

(a 60 minute video)
What Others Are Saying . . .
Here is what a few of our Bible Study partners have spontaneously said to each other about our study groups.
We did not solicit these statements as testimonials!___
|This Inner Circle is a safe place to think outside the box and offer up ideas on scripture that other "God-taught" people will consider and challenge with scripture. When I try to read scripture with 'fresh' eyes, not reading into it what I've always been taught or have always thought, I sometimes get fresh ideas – some more contextual than others. Thinking through that idea on my own can get me off track. That is why the conversational part of this responsible, contextual bible study is so vital. We need each other as we pursue a holy life. Thank you one and all for being that safe place!
|I've been catching up today. My problem is that your material draws me in and I find I could easily spend 4 hours chewing on what you offer for each day. Level 1 and 2 are just teasers for 3 and I hate it when I can't immerse myself in the third level. I can do it quicker but go away feeling like I only ate half of what was on my plate. I don't say this to critique your material but to compliment it. I find it incredibly valuable. What you put before us is of such high caliber, and is so compelling, and speaks so directly to my life that I have a hard time putting it down and getting on with my day. . . . I don't know what you can do to make things better, but I do know this—-DON'T DUMB IT DOWN!
|Like Lacey, I was surprised at the length of the scroll. I dressed up in my biblical outfit (have used it many times for VBS) and read it to my secretary and friend and her two daughters, they were amused at first, found it interesting by the end. Thanks for the suggestion to do this, I would never have even considered reading the whole letter at one time. It was powerful, getting the overall message that Paul wanted to give.
|Gary, I will say again thank you for the spiritual growth that you and the Spirit have helped me achieve. You have changed the way I think about scripture and the way I share scripture with others. In my work as a hospice chaplain I have used your insights on a number of occasions to help those who are hurting to know the peace that comes from seeing anew our Lord in verses they have heard all their lives. And this simply by getting them to see the context and the purpose of that writer for that writing. It is truly a freeing experience. Yet, it is so challenging as I work to overcome decades of how to approach the Word.

Gabrielle Giffords to Attend Husband's Shuttle Launch -- and Now People Think She's Running for Senate
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was cleared over the weekend to leave rehab in Texas and fly to Florida to watch her astronaut husband Mark Kelly's shuttle launch less than four months after getting shot "through the brain" during the January 8 Tucson shooting rampage.
Coincidentally, Arizona has a Senate seat opening up with the retirement of Senator Jon Kyl (assuming his retirement announcement was "intended to be a factual statement," that is).
Giffords has made remarkable progress, by all accounts, but can she really mount a legitimate Senate campaign? Democrats sure hope so.
The L.A. Times published an article on its website this morning with the headline "Giffords Return to Public Arena to Spark New Talk About Her Political Future." It makes the case that because Giffords was cleared to watch the launch, Democrats consider her the heir-apparent to Kyl's seat.

Republican Congressman Jeff Flake has announced his candidacy for the Senate seat, and there have been rumblings of other Republicans throwing their hats in the ring, but no Democrats have stepped up to the plate and announced their candidacy.
According to the Federal Election Commission, Giffords' campaign has $556,013 in cash on hand, $358,247 of which was raised between January 1, and March 31 -- as Giffords was recovering from her injuries.
Candidacy for the seat, it seems, is being left open by Democrats with the hopes that Giffords will be able to run.
Speaking to reporters earlier this month, Washington U.S. Senator Patty Murray, chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, said Democrats hope to take the seat and that Giffords is the ideal candidate.
"None of us can predict what Congresswoman Giffords will do, and we are giving her and her family all due respect to recover from a very serious trauma and that's where we should be," Murray said. "But what happened to Gabby Giffords changed the political landscape of Arizona. And I know that we will have a Democratic candidate there."
A Giffords Senate campaign would be a remarkable conclusion to a tragic event, but part of her skull hasn't been replaced after the shooting, and she reportedly gets frustrated by long sentences.

Brough and I breaking down two of the major opening narratives from the 2014 Stanley Cup Final. Enjoy…
Daly: NHL could skip 2018 Olympics and return in 2022
The NHL's participation in the 2018 Olympics is in Pyeongchang, South Korea is still undetermined, and on Tuesday deputy commissioner Bill Daly didn't sound overly optimistic about the chances of their players taking part.
At a press conference in Toronto on Tuesday before the first game of the World Cup Final, Daly said that there has been no progress on the NHL's participation in the games and that he is currently more down on the possibility than he was two years ago.
"I'm not going to handicap it, but what I'd say is I think time is very short to make a decision and I'm not sure there's been a lot of progress made in the past six months," Daly said, via the Canadian Press. "And I'm not sure there's any prospect of progress being made."
He also added, via Sportsnet's, Chris Johnson that it is possible that the NHL could skip the 2018 games and then return for the 2022 games in Beijing.
NHL players have participated in the Winter Olympics since 1998, and in recent years there's almost always been a debate leading up to the games as to whether or not the NHL will be able to come to an agreement with the IOC and IIHF. Game times, shutting the NHL season down for more than two weeks and the insurance that goes with covering the players It has, to this point, always worked out.
Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin has repeatedly said that he will play for Russia in 2018 whether the NHL agrees to send its players or not.
On Tuesday, Daly was asked about Ovechkin's desire to play and said that at this point it will be something that the team has to handle at its own discretion.
Gretzky returns to NHL fold as official ambassador of centennial celebration
The National Hockey League was founded on November 26, 1917. Almost ninety-nine years later, the commissioner of the league, Gary Bettman, was in Toronto to announce that Wayne Gretzky, arguably its greatest player ever, would be the official ambassador of its centennial celebration.
For Gretzky, whose relationship with the NHL was tested during the Phoenix Coyotes' bankruptcy proceedings in 2009, it marks a return to representing the league in an official capacity. (In 2013, he was reportedly paid around $8 million in a settlement.)
"It's a tremendous honor," Gretzky said in a statement. "I've said this a million times that everything I have in my life is because of hockey and because of the National Hockey League. I happen to think it's the greatest game in the world. It was kind to me my whole life. The game just gets better every year, so for me to be involved in just trying to help promote and sell our sport even more it's a great thrill for me and an honor to be part of it."
Watch the following video to see what the NHL has in store for 2017, starting on Jan. 1 with the Centennial Classic at BMO Field between the Maple Leafs and Red Wings:
Report: Panarin wants six-year deal from 'Hawks, at least $6M per season
Artemi Panarin is looking to cash in on his Calder-winning campaign.
Chicago's prized Russian sniper and the reigning rookie of the year, Panarin is reportedly seeking a six-year contract extension "worth more than $6 million per season," per the Chicago Tribune.
As the Tribune points out, that figure could be problematic. Nobody's arguing that Panarin isn't worth the money — he's 24, and coming off a 30-goal, 77-point campaign — but people are wondering how the 'Hawks can afford him. Eight players on the active roster are pulling in at least $4 million per season, which includes Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, they of the $10.5M cap hits.
That said, it sure sounds like Panarin will get done.
Reports last week said his agent and 'Hawks GM Stan Bowman were well into extension talks, and Bowman seemed confident a deal would be inked.
"I respect Tom [Lynn, Panarin's agent], he's a very knowledgeable guy and I know Artemi put a lot of faith in him," Bowman said. "Tom and I will work to get something done."
Panarin's heading into the last of a two-year, $6.775 million deal with a $3.387 AAV — a deal that gained plenty of notoriety as the season progressed. Since it was so performance-laden, Panarin cashed in a couple of times, including a $1.725 million bonus for finishing among the top-10 scorers in the NHL.
That led to Bowman making some tough financial decisions this offseason, including the deal that sent Bryan Bickell — more specifically, Bryan Bickell's contract — and Teuvo Teravainen to Carolina in exchange for draft picks.
So, this latest situation isn't anything new for the 'Hawks GM. He's been down the financial squeeze road before, and usually found a way to keep his core players in the mix.
If Panarin is considered a core guy — and at this point, it sure sounds like he is — then finding common ground on an extension shouldn't be too difficult.
Gudbranson-Hutton pairing will be key for Canucks
There's a long list of things that have to go right for the Vancouver Canucks if their playoff hopes are to be realized.
One of the biggest is for new addition Erik Gudbranson to form a cohesive second pairing with sophomore Ben Hutton. If that happens, and if Alex Edler and Chris Tanev can stay healthy, the Canucks should have a reliable top-four defense, and that's something they rarely, if ever, had last season.
Gudbranson, a big stay-at-home type, and Hutton, a puck-mover, have been skating together at training camp. The Canucks believe the pairing has great potential, with each defenseman's strengths complementing the other's.
"I want to get his feet moving and hit him in stride and get him up the ice with the puck as soon as possible," Gudbranson said, per The Province. "I think we're going to be a good partnership. We're both on the same page. We're both excited to play with each other and grow as a unit."
Vancouver's third pairing remains to be seen. Luca Sbisa with Philip Larsen is the most likely at this point, though Nikita Tryamkin and Andrey Pedan on the left side, and Alex Biega and Troy Stecher on the right, could make things interesting. Jordan Subban is another wild card. Olli Juolevi too, though he's a long shot and will likely end up back in junior.
The Canucks were decimated by injuries to their best defensemen last season. Edler only played 52 games, Dan Hamhuis 58, and Tanev 69. Other teams with more depth could survive that, but Vancouver floundered.
That's why health is another big thing that has to go right for the Canucks. Another injury-filled season and it's hard to picture them staying in the playoff race.
Vancouver opens its preseason schedule tonight in San Jose.

A supernaturally talented magician attempts to undermine the rigid social structure of turn-of-the-century Vienna by using his powers to win the love of his upper-class, childhood sweetheart in director Neil Burger's cinematic adaptation of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Steven Millhauser's short story. Though the ill-fated childhood romance between cabinetmaker's son Eisenheim (Edward Norton) and upper-class Sophie von Teschen (Jessica Biel) eventually resulted in the heartbroken young man leaving Austria to explore the world, his dreams of one day reuniting with the beautiful duchess never faded. Upon returning to Vienna 15 years later as a talented and renowned illusionist, Eisenheim's hopes of a reunion seem dashed when he learns that Sophie is currently engaged to the Crown Prince Leopold (Rufus Sewell). As the tensions between the Eisenheim and Leopold elevate, urbane Chief Inspector Uhl (Paul Giamatti) finds his sympathy toward Eisenheim growing, despite his formal obligations to the powerful prince.

While this film has a number of stereotyped plot points - a peasant boy who finds his fortune, a forbidden love, a cruel ruler, a Samuel Gerard/Inspector Jovere character, and a twist ending - The Illusionist is far more than the sum of its parts. Far too few creative turn-of-the-century dramas draw popular interest these days, and The Illusionist makes the case that more should be made. Edward Norton plays a young Houdini-esque magician in Austria who wows the populace and, in the process, finds his lost love, Jessica Beale, is betrothed to a cruel nobleman who controls Paul Giamatti's penultimate, highly suspicious detective. Can the young magician save his beloved from a loveless marriage and thwart the designs of the evil prince? While the "twist" ending of the film can be figured out about halfway through by the astute film buff, even the most cynical viewer will want to stick around until the end to find exactly how the twist was accomplished. Edward Norton is superb, Jessica Beale holds her own, and Paul Giamatti is very convincing as the corrupt policeman reluctantly seeking redemption. The film's only flaw are its special effects - the early illusions pulled off by Norton's character at the beginning of The Illusionist are accomplished by rudimentary digital effects, and one wonders why the film's director didn't decide to actually accomplish "real" illusions on film and get a buzz started about the film that way. However, as the plot of the film advances and the illusions advance with it, the early effects are soon forgotten. In all, The Illusionist is a superb effort at bringing some good old-fashioned intrigue and thrills to the movies. You'd do well to check it out.
Steven Millhauser's brilliant little short story 'Eisenheim the Illusionist' is beautifully realized cinematically by Neil Burger who not only adapted the story as a screenplay but also directed with a great flair for the subject. Wisely using the repeated line 'Nothing is what it seems' Burger infuses this dark investigation into the lives of the divided Viennese classes and suggests the crumbling of the Austro-Hungarian Empire with the focus on the illusory magic of one Eisenheim (finely characterized by Edward Norton) and its effects on the Crown Prince Leopold (Rufus Sewell) and the bifurcated Duchess Sophie (Jessica Biel). As children Eisenheim and Sophie were friends despite the disparity of their class: Sophie was royalty (a Duchess) and Eisenheim was the son of a cabinetmaker to the court. They fall in love but are separated by caste and Eisenheim wanders Asia and Russia learning the vagaries of magic and illusionist tricks while Sophie is raised at court to become the wife of Crown Prince Leopold, whose plans to overthrow his father the Emperor to become the King of both Austria and Hungary have made him an obsessive scoundrel. Years later Eisenheim enters Vienna as a showman, under the tutelage of his impresario Josef Fischer (Eddie Marsan), delighting audiences with his illusionist tricks. His impossible love for Sophie resurfaces and he becomes suspect in his role as an illusionist and as a threat tot he Crown. Eisenheim is investigated carefully by Chief Police Inspector Uhl (a brilliant role by Paul Giamatti) and the manner in which the fates of the Crown versus the love of Eisenheim and Sophie are resolved is, well, 'Nothing is what it seems'. The cast is outstanding, the setting (in Prague) is incredibly atmospheric, and the costuming and lighting and cinematography marry into a perfect fit. Adding to the illusionist spirit of the film is the fine musical score by Phillip Glass so well loved for his score for 'The Hours' and one of our most important classical music composers of the day. THE ILLUSIONIST is a fine, misty, dark evocation of life in La Belle Époque of Vienna, based enough on fact that the fiction employs the concept that nothing is what it seems. Grady Harp
The Illusionist film is a movie that my husband first introduced me to around 2006/2007 when we were living in Florida and it was great to watch the Illusionist together again this week. The Illusionist features a movie trailer to Gray Matters and the movie itself is a deep and complicated history between the characters of Duchess Sophie Von Teschen (Jessica Biel) and Eisenheim The Illusionist (Edward Norton). Duchess Sophie Von Teschen is set to marry the emotionally cold but intellectually gifted Crown Prince Leopold (Rufus Sewell). I do completely accept that Sewell was just putting his best in the role, it was just that I was extremely shocked by how his Prince Leopold character is required to treat Eisenheim's character and that of his wife Sophie so abrasively just because he can. Chief Inspector Walter Uhl (Paul Giamatti) is Crown Prince Leopold's right hand man who is required to start spying on Eisenheim after a witness tattles on Eisenheim and Duchess Sophie immediately after they are spotted simply just talking in a carriage together.
Highly entertaining. One of my favorite movies
Fans of American Movie Classics & Turner Classic Movies will love this movie. A classic movie with a great storyline, no unnecessary violence, nudity or obsencities. Worth watching at least twice.
This is one of the best movies I've seen in a while. Very well done.
The first of two wide release movies involving Magicans. Filmed in and around Prague. Stunningly beautiful. Prince Leopold is always one breath away from exploding in an angry tirade. The story is seductive and Giamotti, Norton, and Biel are all well cast. A foreign film that will be very much at home in any American living room or video collection. Norton will win the women's hearts, while Biel is magic as his childhood love. If you own Chocolat you'll want this film.
I watched this movie right after viewing 'The Prestige' (kind of a magician/illusionist overload). While both movies were wonderful, 'The Illusionist' seemed to have a different feeling and overall tone to it. It was filmed beautifully (it looked like an older film), the acting was wonderful, and the ending of the film was spot on! I highly recommend this movie :)
Wow. This movie was so beautifully shot and well acted. I didn't predict the ending, but I wasn't trying to predict it because I was so caught up in the sheer mystical and gorgeous quality of the film itself. The score by Phillip Glass was sensual and moody. Everyone keeps comparing this film to Prestige. I watched them back to back and there is no comparison. This is a much better movie. The stories are completely different, I'm not really sure why the two films keep getting compared in reviews. I thought the Illusionist was a visual feast with a great story and wonderful acting, especially by Ed Norton and Paul Giamatti.
This movie does move slow at times, but it's all worth it for the ending. Great movie, great acting. See this one.
this movie never kept you wondering until the very end when everything was spilled out before you. It is about an illusionist named Eisenheim. The movie first tells about his past and then goes on to tell about the preasent. I love the way they presented everything in this movie. All the actors were great, everything. There were many twists, and if you don't understand what happens at the end i suggest you watch it again. when i did, it helped out a bunch and i loved it even more. however, i still am certain that the first time you watch it will be the best because you don't know the ending. There are magic tricks in this movie, romance, and many other things that make it great. Rent it, buy it, borrow it, do whatever you can to get it. You won't be disappointed.
you have two movies with theme and story on magic. the illusionist i liked and as always norton does an aweesome job, giamatti was not bad himself and biel was a surprise but did an alright job. when they were showing the flashback to when they were kids, did anyone else get a reminder feeling of lord of the rings, the younger version of eisenhem looked like frodo even his clothes seemed like frodos. anyway this is about the illusionist and his love for sophie who is engaged to another who has secrets of his own who i didn't recognize with a beard after seeing him clean shaven in dark city. the prestige on the other hand was interesting and kinda confusing than this one but love love bale and jackman...bowie was a surprise like luke wilson in 3 10 to yuma. the prestige is the story of two magicians and the competition of being the best and etc. both movies are good and have their twist ending. i wonder why people thought the prestige was a "sequel" to batman begins when it clearly wasn't?
The Illusionist works on so many levels. It is one of the most romantic films I've seen and also one of the most mysterious. Throw in the history of Austria and their nobility and you have a great,compelling film with very good acting by everyone in the cast.
If you like this genre, this movie is wonderful. The plot moves along and the acting, especially by Giamatti and Norton, is exceptional. However, the twist is fairly visible early on unlike the Prestige. If you are looking for a great magician movie, The Prestige is a better choice.
I have been waiting for a movie like this ever since I read Mr. Strange and Dr. Norell. This movie was wonderful and I highly recommend it to all. This was PG-13? No way. PG at the most. Good heavens they rated SAW II PG-13 and you KNOW that has got to be wrong just from the commercials.
This film was made in the same year as The Prestige (another gem) and Spoof, and all three films have magic as their main theme. I have seen the Illusionist twice and both times, I liked it. It is set in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and though a love story (and a very sweet one at that), it is truly about magic and how it can change our perception of the reality. Edward Norton is superb, as always. Jessica Biel is very good as well, I think she would have made a fine Austrian princess and Rufus Sewell is excellent - that guy can play bad boys. Paul Giamatti is a grand favourite of mine, and once again he delivers. The film was shot in Prague (although it is supposed to be set in Vienna), and the photography is amazing. The plot is very clever, and the ending is great.
I didn't know what to expect when I saw this movie... I had heard nothing about it nor seen any trailers for it. From the first scene, I was a bit sceptical but I was quickly drawn in. Ed Norton's Eisenheim was brilliant and the illusions were amazing. The love he had for Sophie "Jessica Biel" was heart warming, this love he carried for her since they were kids. I was so caught up in the story that I didn't even see the end coming. Great movie, great cast!
When I first heard of this movie i didnt expect much of it. but as soon as I started wathing I couldn't simply take my eyes of the screen. It's a great movie, great story, great actors, great picture. As soon as I was done I wanted to watch it again.
THE ILLUSIONIST, is now one of my favorite movies....it is great and you will never get bored..it kept me anxious for the next move and awaiting every chapter! great movie

Still THE premier global chip company, with the greatest number of patents, with the greatest engine of "intellectual property", and THE best company in this sector...by far. The dividend is going up, and INTC has a solid record not only of paying divis, but in growth of divis. GLTA, whatever you do.
ditto that
Also, I might also offer up two other excellent dividend yielding cheap tech stocks: AAPL, WAY way undervalued @ 500 bucks, and MSFT, down....but FAR from dead. Buy 'em all, be patient, and simply hold them along with your INTC. Far better than owning bonds or treasury notes.

WEST DEPTFORD Unlike many New Jersey towns that have shunned medical marijuana dispensaries, saying their laws prohibited the business, this Gloucester County township is about to pass an ordinance specifically allowing dispensaries in an industrial zone.
Anthony Ogozalek, the town lawyer who drafted the law, said he doesn't know of any other municipality in New Jersey that has taken a similar step. But he said West Deptford officials wanted to "be proactive" and establish restrictions on where a dispensary can open if an operator approaches the town.

Videos: 'SNL' Mocks Justin Bieber Egg-Gate, Sasheer Zamata Channels Rihanna in Drake-Hosted Episode
All eyes were on "Saturday Night Live" on January 18 as new cast member Sasheer Zamata made her debut appearance in the episode hosted by Drake. The "SNL" first black female comedian in six years was introduced early in the episode, being featured in the monologue where Drake talked about growing up with a Jewish mother and black father. Zamata appeared alongside Kenan Thompson as Drake's aunt and uncle in the sketch where the Canadian rapper revisited his bar mitzvah.
Zamata later impersonated Rihanna in "Before They Were Stars", dancing in a fictionalized episode of hit 1990s show "Blossom". The sketch, which highlighted the early work of some hip-hop artists before they were famous, also featured other cast members playing Eminem, Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz.
Zamata showed her singing skills in "Revolution Resolution" which showed how hard it is to stick to New Year's Resolutions. She also played a pre-teen who hosted a sleepover with Drake playing her father.
The said episode additionally poked fun at Justin Bieber egg-throwing case. Kate McKinnon impersonated the teen heartthrob in "Piers Morgan Cold Open", claiming that it was Canadian tradition to throw eggs at people's homes. Bobby Moynihan, meanwhile, played Gov. Christie to mock at the bridgegate scandal.
Drake also served as a musical guest in the episode, singing "Started From the Bottom", "Trophies", "Hold On, We're Going Home" and "From Time". The episode topped the ratings among the Big 4 networks that night with an average of 4.7/12 in household results in Nielsen's 56 metered markets and a 2.7/11 in adults 18-49 in the 25 markets with Local People Meters.

|Singles from Badmotorfinger
Badmotorfinger is the third studio album by American rock band Soundgarden, released on October 8, 1991 through A&M Records. After touring in support of its previous album, Louder Than Love (1989), Soundgarden began the recording sessions for its next album with new bassist Ben Shepherd. The music on the album maintained the band's heavy metal sound while featuring an increased focus on songwriting as compared with the band's previous releases.[1]
The focus on the Seattle grunge scene helped bring attention to Badmotorfinger. The singles "Outshined" and "Rusty Cage" were able to find an audience at rock radio and MTV. Badmotorfinger became the band's highest charting album at the time on the Billboard 200. The band supported the album with tours of North America and Europe, including opening for Guns N' Roses on that band's Use Your Illusion Tour. In 1992, Badmotorfinger was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance. The album has been certified two times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in the United States, and had, by October 2010, sold 1.5 million copies in the United States.[2]
Recording and production[edit]
Badmotorfinger was the band's first album with bassist Ben Shepherd, who joined the group in April 1990. Shepherd replaced previous bassist Jason Everman.[3] The album was recorded in the spring of 1991 at Studio D in Sausalito, California, Bear Creek Studios in Woodinville, Washington, and A&M Studios in Los Angeles, California.[4] Soundgarden chose to work with producer Terry Date again as it had on its previous release Louder Than Love. Frontman Chris Cornell said the band decided to work with Date again seeing as the band had a good relationship with him and did not want to go through the pressure of trying to find a new producer.[5]
Cornell said that Shepherd brought a "fresh and creative" approach to the recording sessions,[6] and the band as a whole said that his knowledge of music and writing skills redefined the band.[7] Before joining, Soundgarden had been Shepherd's favorite band.[8] Compared with Louder Than Love, the band took a more collaborative approach to the writing process.[9]
Music and lyrics[edit]
A sample of "Jesus Christ Pose", the first single released from the album. Thayil described the song's groove as sounding like "helicopter blades." The lyrics for the song, written by Cornell, express irritation with the exploitation of the symbol of Jesus' crucifixion by famous people.

Badmotorfinger has been classified by various critics as grunge,[10][11] alternative metal,[12] heavy metal[13] and hard rock.[1] Steve Huey of AllMusic said that the songwriting on the album "takes a quantum leap in focus and consistency". He added, "It's surprisingly cerebral and arty music for a band courting mainstream metal audiences, but it attacks with scientific precision."[1] Guitarist Kim Thayil jokingly called it the "Heavy Metal White Album".[6] Cornell said, "I think there's songs on the new record which are almost more commercially viable because they have that memorable feel to them, and I think if anyone expected us to come out and make something more commercial than Louder Than Love, then I'm glad that they were surprised."[14] Cornell also added that the album is more representative of how the band is live.[14] Shepherd contributed the song "Somewhere" and collaborated on the musical composition of several other songs on the album. Thayil said that Shepherd's contributions helped make the album "faster" and "weirder".[15]
On the opening song, "Rusty Cage", Thayil uses a wah pedal as an audio filter, producing an unusual guitar sound. In describing the song's guitar riff he said that it "almost sounds backward".[16] Soundgarden utilized alternative tunings and odd time signatures on several of the album's songs. "Jesus Christ Pose" and "Outshined" were performed in drop D tuning. On "Rusty Cage", "Holy Water", and "Searching with My Good Eye Closed", the bottom E string is tuned down to B.[17] On "Mind Riot" every string is tuned to one of several E's.[17] Soundgarden's use of odd-meter time signatures was varied as well; songs such as "Jesus Christ Pose" are in typical 4/4 time, "Outshined" is in 7/4, "New Damage" is in 9/8 and 4/4, "Somewhere" is in 6/4, "Face Pollution" uses 9/8 and 6/4, "Rusty Cage" is in 4/4 and 19/8, and "Holy Water" is in 4/4 with a section of 5/4 at the end. Thayil said that he didn't "push for weird time signatures", but rather "push[ed] to get the quirkiness out of things".[17]
Cornell said that he tried to not get too specific with his lyrics and was more interested in "creating colourful images."[18] Thayil suggested that it is "like reading a novel [about] man's conflict with himself and society, or the government, or his family, or the economy, or anything."[19] "Jesus Christ Pose" was written about famous people who exploit the symbol of Jesus' crucifixion as to suggest that they're persecuted by the public.[20] Cornell said that "Outshined" is about going from "periods of extreme self-confidence" to "plummeting in the opposite direction."[21] "Holy Water" was written about people who force their beliefs unto others.[14] Thayil wrote the lyrics for "Room a Thousand Years Wide", and said that the song is about "experience in general."[15] "New Damage" subtly criticizes the right-wing government of the United States.[22]
The Badmotorfinger logo consists of a jagged, cyclone-like design. In the center of the logo is a triangle with the album's title, containing a spark plug. The album's cover art was illustrated by guitarist Mark Dancey from the Sub Pop band Big Chief. Thayil suggested the title Badmotorfinger as a joke on the Montrose song "Bad Motor Scooter".[23] Regarding the title, Thayil said, "It was sort of off the top of my head. I simply like it because it was colorful. It was kinda aggressive, too ... It conjures up a lot of different kinds of images. We like the ambiguity in it, the way it sounded and the way it looked."[15]

Badmotorfinger peaked at number 39 on the Billboard 200 album chart.[29] It was released in the same year as Nirvana's Nevermind and Pearl Jam's Ten, all of which helped to break alternative rock into the mainstream.[30] Although overshadowed at the time of its release by the sudden popularity of Nirvana's Nevermind, the focus of attention brought by Nevermind to the Seattle scene helped Soundgarden gain wider attention.[31] Badmotorfinger was among the 100 top selling albums of 1992.[32] Badmotorfinger has been certified two times platinum by the RIAA.[33]
In a contemporary review for Spin, Lauren Spencer hailed Badmotorfinger as a "garden of sound" that drew on older hard rock influences without sounding "derivative".[34] Ann Powers from Blender said, "Cornell strikes the perfect Jesus Christ pose on this sonic wallop",[35] while Entertainment Weekly critic Gina Arnold commended Soundgarden for writing more engagingly than their contemporaries, "who seldom get beyond extolling booze, girls, and cars". She concluded in her review that the record was more "stylishly bombastic rather than bludgeoningly bombastic. Tuneless heavy metal is, after all, still tuneless heavy metal, and in that department, Soundgarden are as functional as they make 'em."[13] In a retrospective review, AllMusic staff writer Steve Huey deemed the album "heavy, challenging hard rock full of intellectual sensibility and complex band interplay."[1] Robert Christgau was less enthusiastic, finding it "credible" as a metal record because of Thayil's impressive use of guitar noise but unimpressive lyrically: "Chris Cornell howls on about 'lookin for the paradigm' and 'your Jesus Christ pose' (I swear, that's the good stuff)".[24]
Badmotorfinger included the singles "Jesus Christ Pose", "Outshined", and "Rusty Cage". The three singles gained considerable airtime on alternative rock radio stations, while the videos for "Outshined" and "Rusty Cage" gained considerable airtime on MTV. The lead single "Jesus Christ Pose" and its music video were the subject of widespread controversy in 1991, and the video was removed from MTV's playlist.[16] Many listeners were outraged by the song and its video, perceiving them as anti-Christian. The band received death threats while on tour in the United Kingdom in support of the album.[36]
At the 1992 Grammy Awards, Badmotorfinger received a nomination for Best Metal Performance.[37] It was also ranked number 45 in the October 2006 issue of Guitar World on the magazine's list of the 100 greatest guitar albums of all time.[38]
Following the release of Badmotorfinger, Soundgarden went on a tour in North America during October and November 1991.[14] Afterward, the band took a slot opening for Guns N' Roses in North America on the band's Use Your Illusion Tour. Soundgarden was personally selected by Guns N' Roses as its opening band.[39] This was Soundgarden's first arena tour. Afterward, the band took a slot opening for Skid Row in North America in February 1992 on the band's Slave to the Grind tour.[40] Soundgarden then headed to Europe for a month-long headlining theater tour.[7] Afterward, the band then returned for a tour in the United States.[7] Soundgarden rejoined Guns N' Roses as part of the Use Your Illusion Tour in the summer of 1992 for a tour of Europe along with fellow opening act Faith No More.[7] Regarding the time spent opening for Guns N' Roses, Cornell said, "It wasn't a whole lot of fun going out in front of 40,000 people for 35 minutes every day. Most of them hadn't heard our songs and didn't care about them. It was a bizarre thing."[36] The band would go on to play the 1992 Lollapalooza tour with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam, and Ministry, among others. The band later released the video compilation Motorvision, which was filmed at the Paramount Theatre in 1992.

In anticipation of the band's appearance at the 1992 Lollapalooza tour, a limited edition of Badmotorfinger was released on June 23, 1992 with a second disc containing the EP Satan oscillate my metallic sonatas (or SOMMS). The title is a palindrome. This EP includes three covers, an unreleased original song, and a live version of "Slaves & Bulldozers." For its cover of Black Sabbath's "Into the Void", the original lyrics are replaced by words of protest by Chief Seattle, which fit the meter of the song.[19] At the 1993 Grammy Awards, "Into the Void (Sealth)" received a nomination for Best Metal Performance.[41]
As a tribute of sorts, special editions of the 2006 album Altar, a collaboration between the bands Sunn O))) and Boris, feature a second disc (of just one song) that also has the title of Satanoscillatemymetallicsonatas. Kim Thayil plays guitar on "Blood Swamp", another track from the main disc of the album.

Total length:
"Cold Bitch" was later featured on the "Spoonman" single in 1994, while "She's a Politician" appeared on the "Burden in My Hand" single in 1996. "Cold Bitch" was one of Shepherd's favorite songs that the band recorded.[42]
The song "Birth Ritual" was worked on during the Badmotorfinger recording sessions, but was not completed.[16] The finished version would eventually see release on the Singles soundtrack in 1992, and later on both Telephantasm (2010) and Echo of Miles: Scattered Tracks Across the Path (2014) compilations. "No Attention", which later appeared on the band's 1996 album, Down on the Upside, was attempted during the recording sessions but "did not work" according to Kim Thayil.[43] "Black Rain" was mostly recorded during the sessions, but the vocals were never completed. It was eventually finished in 2010 and released on Telephantasm and later, Echo of Miles: Scattered Tracks Across The Path. Three tracks had been discarded during the mixing process, two of which included "A Broom", and "How Should I Know?"[44]
Although the album's singles featured plenty of B-sides, none of these were from the Badmotorfinger recording sessions. A one-day recording session with Stuart Hallerman yielded "Stray Cat Blues", "Into the Void (Sealth)", "Girl U Want", "Show Me", and "Touch Me".[45] "Show Me" was later featured on the 1993 No Alternative compilation, "Girl U Want" was later featured on the "Fell on Black Days" single. An Evening Session recorded for BBC Radio One produced covers of "I Can't Give You Anything", "I Don't Care About You", "Can You See Me" and "Homicidal Suicidal". All tracks appeared spread out among various versions of the three singles.

A few months ago I read a comment regarding worker productivity improvement when given a second monitor. I must admit that I didn't give it any real thought since I have utilized dual monitors for some time. However, in my quest to provide you with the best information available I looked into the claims. On the high side there are proponents of dual monitors that claim a 50% improvement in productivity. Studies by NEC, Microsoft and HP have returned results as low as 9% and up to that amazing 50% increase. Therefore, quite a few articles and blogs have attempted to determine if indeed this is the case. Most of the studies have analyzed developers who are using either oversized or dual monitors but I also saw a study analyzing the performance of investors/brokers. In all cases productivity improved with the greatest increase noted when people were switching often between multiple applications and moving information from application to application.
Using the lowest considered increase of 9%, an annual salary of $50,000, and an estimate of 25% of the work day using a PC, results in a savings of $1125. That's $1125 per year on an initial $87.99 investment for a 19 inch monitor.
Furthermore, multiple articles and blogs suggested that while measuring the productivity may be difficult, the subjective measurement is immediate. Give dual monitors to a heavy user of a PC or laptop and then attempt to take it back after a few months. It takes a brave person to face the gnashing of teeth and guttural growls. I know. I tested the idea yesterday by suggesting that I needed to takeaway a monitor and give it to another co-worker. Bad idea!
Consider this, perhaps it looks like an extravagance to have dual monitors in front of your workers but instead you are actually getting more work out of them. Let's see, currently Broadvox provides me with two monitors, after this they may be motivated to ship me a third.
See you on Monday.

Scope mount for 686/586

I want to put a scope mount on a 586 or 686. I don't want to drill any extra holes. Are there any good mounts that do not require drilling? Cost? Thanks!

Hmm, tough one. I could be wrong on this one I suppose, but as far as I know there are no mounts available for a 686 not drilled and tapped. I can't really imagine what one would hold on to.
July 27, 2007, 07:21 AM
I heard that there was a mount that used existing holes. Not sure if true....
July 27, 2007, 08:17 AM
If it was made in the last 15 years or so, your Smith will probably have a couple holes drilled and tapped in the top strap from the factory. Check out the Weigand mount (http://www.jackweigand.com/swhpmnt.html), it uses those existing holes.
July 27, 2007, 09:01 AM
+1 on the Weigand mount. I have them on a couple of S&W revolvers and have no complaints. They do what mounts should: Hold the scope and stay put.
July 27, 2007, 09:26 AM
Any good smith can drill and tap your Smith for the Weigand mount. It works great.
Aimtech (http://www.aimtech-mounts.com/) may have a no drill mount. Or maybe B Square. (http://www.b-square.com/)
July 27, 2007, 12:03 PM
I stand corrected. It seems Walkalong was right about Aimtech. They do offer an unusual mount for non drilled S&W guns, that is held on by replacement sideplate screws and some sort of clamp. Unfortunately their page is not very good and the pictures aren't there where they should be. It's too bad too , because I'd like to see what it looks like. Here's the link anyway.
July 27, 2007, 12:40 PM
I bought my used 686 with an Aimpoint sight and Aimpoint mount that attaches to the sideplate screws. I like the fact that it doesn't require removing (and later, re-zeroing) the rear sight. There's space under the mount for viewing the iron sights.
One downside is that the mount won't work with many grips unless you trim them. I keep that one pair of grips shown in the picture for use with the scope mount. Otherwise it wears a set of Hogues.
July 29, 2007, 02:55 PM
Besides the Aimtech and Wiegand- B- Square also makes a good solid base that utilizes the existing rear sight screw holes and a clamp forward . Has worked very well with my RedDot for a couple of years now.

WIGAN, England (AP) – Two goals apiece from strikers Robin van Persie and Javier Hernandez gave Manchester United a routine 4-0 victory over Wigan at the DW Stadium on Tuesday that maintained the visitors' seven-point lead in the English Premier League.
Hernandez opened the scoring in the 35th minute with a strike from close range before van Persie doubled the advantage eight minutes later.
Hernandez added his second in the 63rd and Van Persie matched the Mexico international in the 88th when he closed out the scoring.
Van Persie's brace moves him to 64 goals in 76 league games since January 2011. His 18th goal of the season was one of his best, calmly stepping inside Ivan Ramis before firing into the corner with his supposedly weaker right foot. And as he tapped Danny Welbeck's square ball into an empty net in stoppage time, Van Persie extended his recent record to eight goals in his last eight games.
United's failure to get to grips with Wigan's three-man defence in the corresponding fixture last term that condemned them to a defeat, which triggered the downward spiral that cost them the title last season.
And they were in no mood to be similarly exposed this time around.
United manager Alex Ferguson filled his midfield, denying Roberto Martinez's men the space to implement their preferred passing game.
The Latics were forced into far more long balls than normal and though the first 25 minutes lacked penalty-box action, slowly United were draining the life out of their opponents.
And when Jonny Evans nipped in front of Arouna Kone to intercept Gary Caldwell's poorly-hit clearance, the Northern Irishman advanced far enough to divert Tom Cleverley's square ball into the path of Patrice Evra.
After an air shot, Evra let fly with a low stinger that Al Habsi could not hold, allowing Hernandez to pounce from close range.
It was the Mexican's 11th goal of the season and his 30th overall in the Premier League for United. Remarkably, all 30 have come from inside the area.
With the visitors now turning the screw, Wigan desperately needed to reach the interval without conceding again.
But Van Persie ensured they did not make it.
After a mix-up in midfield gifted United possession deep inside the Wigan half, the hosts could not afford Ramis' slip, which allowed Van Persie a couple of extra seconds to decide what to do with Hernandez's pass.
Ramis recovered his ground, only for Van Persie to step inside the defender and find the far corner with a right-footed effort of unerring accuracy.
Other than a close offside call that went against Kone, who tapped home Franco di Santo's low cross, the visitors were completely dominant.
No one could begrudge them their third, just after the hour, when Van Persie's free kick deflected into Hernandez's path. The striker was once again in the box to deliver the first-time finish.
And fittingly it was Van Persie who had the last word two minutes from time.
The win gives United a seven-point cushion over defending champions and Manchester rivals City. Wigan drops to 17th.

The kiln operation of a local lumberyard has a monthly average power demand of 175 kW, but associated with that is an average monthly reactive power draw of205kVAR. If the lumberyard's utility company charges $0.15 per kVAR for each kVAR above the benchmark value (0.7 times the peak average power demand), estimate the annual cost to the lumberyard from PF penalties, calculate the money saved in the first and second years, respectively, if 100 kVAR compensation capacitors are available for purchase at $75 each (installed). Calculate the complex power delivered to each passive component of the circuit shown in Fig. 11.45, and determine the power factor of the source.
