Hollywood has become obsessed with making live action versions of well known children's properties. With the success of Alice in Wonderland are you really surprised that Tinkerbell's next? You know the pixie little fairy who appears in the Peter Pan stories? According to Variety, she'll appear in the human form of Elizabeth Banks in a romantic comedy aptly titled, Tink.
Tink is being produced by Adam Shankman, Jennifer Gibgot and McG (why's he involved?). The plot for the film is being kept under wraps but it's said to center on "the mischievous nature of the Tinkerbell character." The script will be written by both Elizabeth Wright Shapiro, who helped develop the project and McG, which once again begs the question, "Why?"
Banks is a great actress and she physically does look like Tinkerbell. The blond-hair, wide blue eyes, and mischievous smile work for the role. As for the story and the screenplay, I have reservations. There's nothing wrong with broadening your horizons but McG's involvement in this seems awkward. Maybe this could work on some unconventional level but only time will tell.
What do you think about Elizabeth Banks playing Tinkerbell? What do you think of McG's involvement with the film?

totall newby, need some help
hey guys, it my first time posting on this forum. i have never actually owned a jeep (or any other car) because im only 15, but i am saving every penny i can find cleaning cars at my fathers car lot. alright, so i was looking for a 1999 jeep wrangler sport. i heard that the 97-98 all have some problems because they were new models, and i dont really remember, but i thought i heard something about ignition problems from 2000-20006. i'm trying to keep it really cheap, but i still want the 6 cylinder. if anybody knows a good place to look for them, i would be so happy to hear about it. i live close to New Orleans Louisiana. and this post is getting entirely to long, but i wanted to put a lift kit (preferably a cheap 2'') some spacers, and put my mechanics old winch stuff on it. if anybody has any types of tricks and pointers, and things to look out for when buying a jeep, please let me know. (and im only 15 so please dont get to technical lol)
Welcome to the forum I have a 97' and have never had a problem since I got it.It has 161xxx on it and I keep the flud changed and so on and just drive it. There are 2'' spacer lifts out there (I would not get them) for apx 200 dollars and on. It really depends on what size tire and so on you will want. A stock TJ will tuck a 31x10.50 15 no problem.
Hey first timer!
Right off the top of my head (after reading your post) my first thought is to ask your dad to help you find something.
Dad's are amazing. They have already made a ton of the mistakes that you have not yet had the pleasure of enduring. Since he has a car lot you should be able to access the auctions and save yourself some real money. HOWEVER, as you may already know, cars are sent to the auctions usually because they have some problems.
When looking for a Jeep there are SO many things that to list them all would be a lengthy post to say the least.
In many ways they are not unlike other vehicles. You want to look for evidence of:
-Is it a flood car? In your area, that would be a concern.
-Has it been well cared for? Not just a detail job by a lot or previous owner, you can tell the difference. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear no matter how much Armor All is dumped on it. Look for signs of abuse
-Fluid leaks? (engine, drive train, front and rear axles, anywhere that has any kind of fluid) Most of the 4.0s DO have a minor leak at the rear main. For some reason it's the nature of the beast.
-How do the fluids look? Is everything nice and clean or does it look like it's been neglected?
- Crawl under it. Look for scrapes and dents underneath it. If so, chances are it's seen some time off road. Not that it's a bad thing, but it will give you an idea of what kind of use it's had.
If you have access to a trusted mechanic, have him (or her) look at it. For that matter if you have something like a 4Wheel Parts in your area, take it there and have them check it out for you. They will know where to look for potential trouble spots.
There is a lot more, but really... ask your dad to help you. He's going to know a lot more than you might think he does. Good luck and I hope that you find a Jeep that makes your grin go from ear to ear!
Hopefully some of the folks will chime in here and give you more guidelines.
Def check out craigslist in your area...And x2 on getting Dad to help you out. He might be a PIA sometimes, but he knows stuff. He has to hes old haha. Good man working to get that Jeep you want. Keep it up, before you know it you'll be on here asking about modifications and cruising topless :punk:
First off, Welcome to the forum. Kate makes some very good points. Your Dad is in the business, so he should be a tremendous help. My recommendation is to always buy a Wrangler as close to stock as you can get it. I know sitting way up in the air with big tires looks appealling, but you never know exactly what you are getting and if the po did a proper job on the mods or cut corners that will eventually come back to bite you. Try to put a little money back for the little things that you will want to do right away.
Good luck on your search and welcome to the forum!
Welcome and good luck with the search.
welcome to the forum and good luck with the search
Welcome to the forum!... Like some of the others said... tap your dad for the knowledge.... and don't buy anything from a guy named Chadwick as it has most likely been under water
I had a 1997 first and absolutely loved it. Cried when I got rid of it. (the trade for minivan conversation pops back up-ick!)
Anyway, stock would be best for your first one in my opinion, especially since you are 15. I told my boys that their first one would not be set up, as you need to learn to drive first. Then, once you learn to drive with all the distratractions, you could lift it up. Ditto about not knowing what someone has done to it.
Best of luck! Once you have one, you will never want anything else!
Ya, at his car lot he has a mechanic, and a paint and body specialist. But my dad only fools with Japanese (Honda, Toyota, infinite, Lexus, you get the idea) and the mechanic only fools with foreign cars (bmw and Mercedes mostly). But the mechanic has had an old (more like ancient) Cherokee. He said he doesn't know much about jeeps, so he can't really help.
Yes, the auctions do help A LOT, I just cant always jack the cars up and look underneath, but thanks a lot for that advice. Usually me and my dad get there early and check all the cars for jacks and how clean they are and all the good stuff you can check just by starting it and moving some stuff around.
Its just hard as heck to find a 99 there!!
The oldest wrangler I have seen there was and 05, and it was totally whacked out.
This is a first car, so I don't mind it being a little rough around the edges as far as leaks and noises. And I'm probably not going to be doing a lot of modifications to it ( I am very big into music and have many instrument and hope to expand and maintain my collection haha)
I did some research, but there is no amount of knowledge that can take the place of experience, so, how much should I pay for a 99 wrangler sport, with working air condition, and not to much aftermarket things done to it.
I know it's a very broad spectrum, but I really need an idea, because some places say six grand, others say up to fourteen. Everything helps me, so don't forget the small details!!
Agree with Kate
I'm 23 and ask my dad advice on just about every big decision I make in life.
As far as the jeep Goes I own a 2004 and I love it. Ive had it about a year now and its like driving a big go cart.
Its a safe vehicle!!! aside the rollover risk I got into an accident this winter and T boned a car. the jeep drove away and she had to have her car towed. there great vehicles.
INLINE 6!!!! Best Motor you can have in one of these things there bullet proof!
Keep doing research and good luck!
Getting a car used is bound to have any sort of problem. The best you can do is just be prepared to fix.
x2 Go with the 6'er.
I would suggest you get the details on the Jeep and run a Kelly Blue Book Value on it. It is free to do online. That will give you the price range. My experience from looking recently is that a good 1999 would be somewhere around $7-9,000, but it depends on condition, mileage, options, etc. I just got a 2002 and paid $11,500--inline 6, 5-speed, AC, and 4-inch lift with 33-inch tires/15-inch MT Wheels.
As far as what to look for, you can lay down under it and look for obvious damage from offroading (rust, dents, etc). Inside, look to make sure everything works, pull the carpet back and look at the floors for rusting out, and drive it.
If it is the right one, she will "talk to you." You will know.
As far as lifting, find a mechanic who owns Wranglers and knows what they are doing. There is more to it than just putting the lift on it. For example, mine was lifted when I bought it. However, the dealer that lifts all the Jeeps he gets and sells them did not take into consideration how it affects the angle of the shifter, so I had to have a local mechanic help out with that. Having a mechanic that understands how the lift affects it as a whole will be invaluable. If you can find a good mechanic before you make the purchase, have that person check it out for you. It can save you a lot of headaches in the long run.
Post pics when you find the right one! Good luck!

Hints for Using Leftovers
by Lois Carlson Willand
Related Articles
Reverse Meal Planning
Meal Planning Around Leftovers
Ways to Reduce Food Waste
Work with Leftovers Daily
Check your refrigerator in the morning and plan to use as many leftovers as possible that day.
After a meal plan how to handle the leftovers:
- Freeze cooked vegetables, cooked meat, and vegetable-cooking broth
- Plan to use cooked meat the next day in sandwiches, quiches, tacos, enchiladas, or spaghetti sauce. You may also want to reheat in microwave, or marinate to use in salads.
- Rinse off dressing on leftover green salads and drain, cool quickly, and add to soups or to freezer for soup makings.
- Plan to use leftover fruits as garnish, in fruit cups, or in fruit salads.
Store Food Safely
- Refrigerate cooked foods promptly.
- Store leftovers in plain sight in your refrigerator. Use clear, see-through containers with covers.
- Label foods and mark date of storage.
- Use up leftovers within two or three days.
- Do not trim away mold on food and eat the remainder. All food with mold (except for intentional mold such as with blue cheese or real cheeses) should be discarded.
- If you suspect a food is no longer safe to eat, do not taste it! Follow the adage "When in doubt, throw it out!"
Get Leftovers on the Table the Next Day
- Use it as a garnish or relish: slice raw fruits or vegetables and place on lettuce leaf.
- Use it in a sandwich: slice cooked meats to serve hot or cold, or add sliced fresh vegetables, cover with cheese and broil until cheese melts.
- Put it in a salad: add strips or cubes of cooked meat and raw or cooked vegetables to a chef salad or to a rice, macaroni, or potato salad. Marinate cubes of cooked meat with raw or cooked vegetables in French or Italian dressing for a few hours and spoon into lettuce cups.
- Serve it in a white sauce, tomato sauce, or brown gravy over bread, potatoes, rice or noodles.
- Add it to a casserole, stir-fry dish or quiche, stir into an omelet, or saute with rice.
Serve Leftovers Attractively
- Use bright-colored dishes, napkins or tablecloths that complement your food.
- Add an appetizing garnish.
- Serve with a favorite bread, salad, or dessert.
Have Some Key Recipes for Using Up Common Leftovers
- Make a "Use-It-Up" chowder, croquettes, hash or quiche.
- Find special ways to handle your "problem" leftovers. Notice what leftovers are the most difficult for you to use up, that you most often throw out. Look for recipes that use your problem foods. File the recipes where you can find them easily.
Know When to Throw Away
- Throw it out if you suspect the food is no longer safe to eat.
- Throw it out when preparing the food calls for expensive ingredients or a more time-consuming process than you feel the food is worth.
Shop to Avoid Leftovers
- Buy only the amount of perishable food that you can use up within a few days.
- Use up the perishables in your refrigerator before going on your next shopping trip.
The Use-It-Up Cookbook helps you save money in the kitchen by wasting less of your food and using up more of it.

Hello. My name is Samantha, and I am addicted to Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare.
Samantha Emann
By Samantha Emann, special to the Times-Herald
I decided to review this game after it was recommended to me by the enablers at my local EB Games store.
Would I have bought it on my own? No. Do I love this game? Yes. And by love, I mean I can no longer stop whenever I want.
The first thing that struck me about this game is that I couldnãt help but think Tim Burton had a hand in designing both the characters and maps. While this is not the case, I actually like the fact that it makes me think the animation is a cross between Nightmare Before Christmas and Edward Scissorhands.
The game was sold to me as a Halo-esque title, which immediately had my ears perked. I liked the fact that was true without the unnecessary add-on of a solo campaign.
My favourite part of Halo was always the online multiplayer and I neglected the solo campaign because it did not allow me the instant gratification of hitting a particularly annoying opponent halfway across a map with a big hammer.
I like Plants Vs. Zombies for the same gratifying reasons, though this one involves less hammering.
The character types are varied enough to fit any play style and I like the fact you can play either plants or zombies.
My favourite mode in the game involves a race to 50 kills. In this mode, you can revive fallen teammates and doing that takes a point away from the opposing team.
Other games usually allow you to revive, but the fact that this one affects points, I think, is a bigger motivation to revive your fallen comrade while taking on a barrage of fire.
However, the characters ã especially the zombies ã could do with a little boost to their walking speed as it makes getting around the level a little cumbersome. Also, the cooldowns on your weapons and abilities is maddeningly slow.
I have come to the conclusion that while I own a headset, it would be inadvisable for me to use it while playing this particular game. I know they are only children, but a camper is a camper, no matter what age.
If you have a tendency to yell rather unsavoury, profane things at your opponents, like me, then I recommend putting down the headset.
Less can be said for my ability to put down the controller once I start playing this game.
With a few little mechanical faults here and there, this game is enjoyable to the point of addictive and very well-designed. It caters to all skill levels and is fun for all ages.
Or at least that, at 24 years old, is what I tell my inner child.
Itãs fun, itãs easy to learn, and the trick is to stop playing before you yourself turn into a zombie. I wish you luck.
This concludes my month of gaming-themed columns and I want to thank everyone who tweeted, shared and read them and thank those who sent me responses and comments.
I have decided to keep writing gaming columns at least once a month thanks to the positive response from readers.
If you have a game you would like reviewed, feel free to send me an email.
I hope you have enjoyed reading this series as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

Building a Position in Home Depot
When you consider Home Depot has more than doubled the performance of rival Lowe's
However, I have always had a tough time reconciling Home Depot's valuation to that of other leading retailers such as Wal-Mart
With revenue growth of more than 7% in the recent quarter, which outperformed the 1% sales decline posted by Lowe's, Home Depot is certainly doing its part to make this debate, well, not much of a debate at all.
Unlike Lowe's, which is struggling with declining same-store sales (comps), Home Depot has figured out ways to not only capitalize on a revitalized housing recovery, but sustain its post-Hurricane Sandy momentum.
Profits soared 18%, helped by continued margin improvements including a year-over-year, 20-basis-point climb in gross margin. Operating margin expanded by 130 basis points contributing to a 22% surge in operating income. The company earned $1.22 billion, or 83 cents per share, which beat Street estimates by 8%.
Equally impressive was the company posted a solid 4.3% growth in overall comps, which is the metric that tracks sales performances of stores that have been opened at least one year. Just to give you an idea of how impressive this is, Lowe's just posted 70 basis-point decline in comps while Wal-Mart U.S. comps dropped 1.4%.

Welcome to Northeast Mastiffs
It all began when my wife traveled throughout New England for work and encountered a few Mastiffs here and there. Usually laying on a couch or chair they were each happy to oblige this lady that carried dog cookies who wanted to give them scratches and love. She said she wanted a Mastiff and that they were big. At the time we had a Pug and a Boxer. I grew up on a dairy and we always had Dobermans so I thought I knew what she meant by big.
This was back when you bought the ADvertiser magazine each week and perused the pet section. My wife's friend called and said there were Mastiff puppies! Next thing I know we're meeting a guy at an exit just before NH. From a distance I saw the truck and asked what is that in the back? That's the Dad she tells me. We see the litter, chose a female puppy and had to walk by the huge Mom and Dad with their baby. My wife carried her out. Her name was Greta and we were hooked on the Mastiff breed.
We went back to the same breeder and got Humphrey about a year later. Humphrey was a sweet dog in a broken body. We learned a lot from Humphrey and at 18 months we did the right thing and ended his pain because all the money in the world along with best intentions sometimes just aren't enough.
We began researching and managed to get in contact with a respected breeder in Virginia so in November 2001 we drove down and returned with Higgins our first show dog and first champion. Through Dog Showing we met and became good friends with Jim Shea, you probably know him - it seems everyone does! Jim handles our dogs in the show ring and makes it look so easy.
We are members of the Hockamock Kennel Club, the Mastiff Club of New England and share our home with Mastiffs, Bulldogs, a Frenchie, a cat, 4 Macaws, a pair of Eclectus , 2 Amazon Parrots, Chickens, tropical and goldfish.
We breed our dogs so we can stay engaged in Showing. We research pedigrees and do the very best we can to produce sound puppies. We are dedicated to breeding the best Mastiffs that we can. We promise to always work with you and provide guidance based upon our experience.
Please enjoy our news, photos and information on our site.

Gunung Sibayak © Palma Hutabarat
A great place to stop off for travellers en route to the holiday resort of Lake Toba, the town of Berestagi is famed not only for its passion fruit, but also for the two active volcanoes on its doorstep: Gunung Sibayak and Gunung Sinabung. Gunung Sibayak boasts fantastic hot springs where visitors can relax and unwind in the warm waters which are believed to have therapeutic properties. More active travellers can climb this mountain instead, earning breathtaking views over the island of Sumatra from the top. This is the most commonly climbed volcano in Sumatra as the hike to the top is comparatively easy, with beautiful and unusual scenery to enjoy along the way. It only takes about two hours and can be done safely without a guide, although having someone along who can explain the geological significance of the place and identify the local flora and fauna is a bonus. The volcano is still active and the boiling sulphur makes the smell in the area unpleasant but you get used to it quite fast and gradually stop noticing. Its fun to head to the hot springs after the hike - the pools range in temperature from pleasantly warm to boiling hot so make sure you test the water and don't burn yourself.

Retreatment with telaprevir combination therapy in hepatitis C patients with well-characterized prior treatment response
Muir AJ, Poordad FF, McHutchison JG, Shiffman ML, Berg T, Ferenci P, Heathcote EJ, Pawlotsky JM, Zeuzem S, Reesink HW, Dusheiko G, Martin EC, George S, Kauffman RS, Adda N. Hepatology. 2011 Nov;54(5):1538-46. doi: 10.1002/hep.24549.

Retreatment with peginterferon alpha and ribavirin (PR) offers a limited chance of sustained virologic response (SVR) in patients who did not achieve SVR with prior PR treatment. This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of telaprevir-based treatment in combination with PR in well-characterized patients who did not achieve SVR in the control arms of three Phase II clinical trials. Patients eligible to enroll in this open-label nonrandomized study either met on-treatment criteria for nonresponse or relapsed after 48 weeks of treatment in the control arm of the three Phase II PROVE studies. The initial protocol was a 24-week regimen: 12 weeks of telaprevir and PR followed by an additional 12 weeks of PR. During the study the protocol was amended to extend PR to 48 weeks for patients with previous null response. All other patients with undetectable hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA at weeks 4 and 12 received 24 weeks of therapy. Those with detectable HCV RNA at weeks 4 or 12 received a total of 48 weeks of therapy. The overall SVR rate was 59% (69/117). SVR rates with T12PR were 37% (19/51) in prior null responders, 55% (16/29) in prior partial responders, 75% (6/8) in prior breakthroughs, and 97% (28/29) in prior relapsers. The overall relapse rate was 16% (13/83). Adverse events were similar to those in previous trials with telaprevir, with 9% of patients discontinuing due to an adverse event (most commonly rash and anemia). Conclusion: This study demonstrated the benefit of retreatment with a telaprevir-based regimen for patients with well-characterized nonresponse (null and partial) or relapse to a prior course of PR treatment.

I'm talking about Forbes magazine, which today published another howler
Yesterday, Real Climate deconstructed a post at Forbes in which Larry Bell bludgeoned journalists for failing to report "good news" about climate change. The trouble was, almost all the alleged good news Bell referred to was absolutely bogus.
Today, Forbes is at it again, this time with a blog post by William Pentland (that's him to the left) in which he asks:
Does a liberal democracy have sufficient resolve to stomach the economic and political sacrifices required to stabilize global warming?
Here's his answer:
A growing number of climate scientists believe the answer is "no." In their view, democratic institutions are perpetuating climate change by precluding implementation of the politically unpalatable actions needed to reduce the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
His evidence that a "growing number" of climate scientists believe this? The text from the jacket blurb of a book published three years ago and co-authored by a man who appears to be an Australian MD. I'm not kidding. That's it.
Here's what Pentland says:
The back-of-the-book blurb, which I would strongly urge readers NOT to buy, describes the author's argument like so:
And what does the blurb say?
Having brought the reader to the realization that in order to halt or even slow the disastrous process of climate change we must choose between liberal democracy and a form of authoritarian government by experts, the authors offer up a radical reform of democracy that would entail the painful choice of curtailing our worldwide reliance on growth economies, along with various legal and fiscal reforms.
The book, titled "The Climate Change Challenge and the Failure of Democracy" (HURRY! Only 1 left in stock!), is by David Shearman, whom Pentland describes as a professor of environmental sciences at the University of Adelaide. Except, he's not. Or at least you won't find him listed among the staff or faculty at the university. I checked. Maybe they just forgot to list him because he's a visiting professor. Who knows?
But Shearman was one of literally hundreds of contributors to Working Group 2 of the IPCC's Third Assessment Report, and he's co-authored other books on climate.
In his post, Pentland predictably invokes Godwin's law, with references to Hitler and the Nazis. You get the idea. A growing number of climate scientists are promoting Nazi-like policies . . .
Look, I really don't know anything about this. I didn't read the book, and I have no intention of doing so. And in 25 years of covering climate, I've never heard of Shearman. He's written about climate, but apparently he's not a climate scientist. Like I said, I don't know.
And most important, neither does Pentland — because he obviously hasn't read the book, or even part of it, or even bothered to check ANYTHING out about it and the co-authors. He's so shameless he even admits that his sole bit of evidence that a growing number of climate scientists are becoming like Nazis comes from the bloody book jacket.
It also turns out that his post is simply regurgitated bloviation that has been making the rounds in the conservative echo-chamber for the past few days. (Examples: here, here and here.)
So first Larry Bell and then this? I realize that we're talking about a blog here, and that it's a challenge to feed the blogbeast every day. But are there ANY editors over there trying to uphold even MINIMAL journalistic standards?
How can anyone ever take this publication seriously?

Keep at it, Tom… Wack Wack.. Recruit this guy:
I am sensing a push by the corporate capitalists to secure policies that promote energy profits at the expense of the environment. China and India are growing huge energy needs, particularly gasoline and coal. The capitalists are legitimately fearful that climate change policies in the US would limit their access to the cheap fuels and massive profits over the next decades. Forestalling those policies is their MO, therefore we have Forbes, WSJ, NYT, Fox etc., pushing hard now (with the GOP House) to resist any substantive legislation.
Disagreeing with your religious views is not a howler.
Particularly views that are showing up as less-and-less connected to reality.
And, by the way, since you have not red the book, have you at least read the Amazon link on it? There was more than one author. Both are nice lefty enviro extremists.
They specifically call for a totalitarian state to handle what you believe is a worldwide crisis.
Why did you pick on just one of the authors?
Both are multi-book authors of enviro-extremist views.
Allow Eli to explain this to you. It is clear that if we don't do anything serious about atmospheric carbon contamination there are going to be seriously huge global disasters in the later part of this century and certainly beyond.
Dealing with those problems is going to require fleets of black helicopters, which is why people like Eli advocate strong action now to protect liberty in the future. If you doubt this, go read Durant or anyone else on what happened to governance after Rome fell.
@ hunter – so having 'enviro-extremist' views makes you a climate scientist? and here I thought it involved hard stuff like math and statistics, and you know, climate science.
Dear Tom,
I am the author of the article you have unfairly criticized in this blog post. You have no reasonable basis to conflate my views with those of Larry Bell. I have worked at Forbes for several years. There is no editorial policy on global warming — official or unofficial. If there were an institutional policy regarding global warming, I would never have been asked to write for Forbes. I work for an environmental advocacy organization that promotes a strong policy response to the very real threat of global warming.
Like it or not, I am on your side of the political divide — NOT Larry Bell's. I find it disappointing that you reflexively dismiss anyone who expresses concerns about emerging political currents in climate science as a "climate skeptic." This is unfair, petty and counter productive.
While you may not appreciate it, the issue I raised about democracy and climate change is extremely important. A growing number of climate scientists have lost confidence that the political process will establish binding emissions cuts soon enough to avert dangerous climate change, which has led many to support geoengineering.
Shearman's book expressed the political perspective that I believe is implicitly driving many highly-respected climate scientists to embrace geoengineering. These sentiments are similarly expressed in the late Stephen Schneider's book "Science As A Contact Sport." Other giants of climate science have said the same in scores of articles and interviews.
I wish you would have invested half as much time addressing the substance of my concerns rather than trying to make me look stupid. I am not stupid but I am concerned about the future of our planet. Are you?
Best regards,
Bill Pentland

A wonderful moment occurs toward the close of How I Became a Painter, Miles Champion's recently published book of conversations with the painter Trevor Winkfield, in which Winkfield switches roles on his erstwhile interviewer to ask candidly, "Why do you like my paintings?"
Obviously I've been reading and thinking about Burt Kimmelman's writing recently because Burt was here at the Writers House visiting. Before we move away from this poet, as is inevitable given so much that's going on, let's take one more look. It's a poem with a fabulously open first line: "Nothing is ever decided." Open enough out of context--just as a line--but now add that the poem is about a Robert Motherwell painting (seen at MoMA in January 1988) and, further, that the poet gave an illuminating brief intro to the poem before reading it at KWH the other day. Sometimes I like blogging about these matters because in such a space (as a matter of lasting record) several contexts can be laid out so easily across the various shareable media: the video (above) of the poet's intro; a PDF (click here) of the text of the poem (from the book Musaics, pp. 20-21); the audio-only recording of the poem being performed.
In the new building at the National Gallery in DC, I saw Barnett Newman's series of paintings--done between 1958 and 1966--called "The Stations of the Cross." The Stations of the Cross series of black and white paintings, begun shortly after Newman had recovered from a heart attack, is usually regarded as the peak of his achievement. The series is subtitled "Lema sabachthani" - "why have you forsaken me" - words said to have been spoken by Jesus on the cross. Newman saw these words as having universal significance in his own time. The series has also been seen as a memorial to the victims of the holocaust.
The work by John Marin I know is watercolor. And mostly I've seen his early stuff--from the 1920s. But here is a canvas (at the National Gallery) done in oil, and it was made in his last year (1952; he died in '53).

City of Orange Helps "Close the Recycling Loop"
Contact :
Paul Sitkoff (714) 288-2590
ORANGE, Ca. – The City of Orange has partnered with CR&R, Inc. to commemorate Earth Day with a free give-away of two bags of compost for any Orange resident or business with a CR&R account. The compost give-away will take place on Saturday, April 28 at 10 a.m. in the City Hall parking lot. The lot is one block south of Chapman Avenue on the corner of Almond Avenue and Center Street.
Supplies are limited and will be available on a first come, first served basis. A coupon, mailed to CR&R customers with a recent utility bill, or another form of identification, will be required to receive the compost.
The compost supplied at the give-away is made from the "green waste" collected from businesses and residences throughout the region.
Compost promotes plant vitality, soil drainage, and moisture absorption. Using Compost is a great way to "close the recycling loop," which is not complete until recycled materials are reintroduced into the ecosystem.
The program is being funded by a sponsorship from CR&R, Inc., the City's solid waste disposal contractor.
For more information on the compost give-away and the City's commitment to environmentally responsible waste management, call the City of Orange Public Works Department at (714) 744-5525.

The information I channel comes from anywhere and everywhere, past generations, the living – I can even communicate with a person's younger or older self…then of course what I call "the ethers" – which is also the Akashic Records. I'm like a funnel, I pull the information down for the person it's for and share it, very simply and to the point.

The Atkins Scientific Research – Deceit and Disappointment
The Big Lie: Eating Steak Cuts Your Risk of Heart Disease (That's What They Tell Medical Students [25] and the Public).
The fact is, eating fat and cholesterol increases your risk of dying of heart disease, strokes and other forms of atherosclerosis (kidney failure and peripheral vascular diseases) – and all major health organizations and almost all doctors and scientists agree.44 All well-designed studies show the total cholesterol and "bad" LDL cholesterol both increase with the Atkins Diet.[1,2,18] The May 2004 study, financed by Atkins and published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, described two participants in the low-carbohydrate diet group (Atkins) who dropped out of the study because of concerns about elevated serum lipid levels.[4] In one participant, the LDL-cholesterol level increased from 184 mg/dl (4.75 mmol/l) to 283 mg/dl (7.31 mmol/l) in 3 months. Another participant's LDL-cholesterol level went from 182 mg/dl (4.70 mmol/l ) to 219 mg/dl (5.66 mmol/l) in 4 weeks. Overall, LDL-cholesterol increased by more than 10% in 30% of the people on the low-carbohydrate diet.4 (Ideally, LDL-cholesterol should be well below 100 mg/dl, and probably, even below 80 mg/dl for people concerned about heart disease.)
The spin Atkins promoters use to minimize the impact of these negative findings is to point out the Atkins Diet lowers triglycerides, raises "good" HDL-cholesterol, and increases the amount of "less dense" LDL-cholesterol. Both triglycerides and HDL-cholesterol are considered of much less importance than total- and LDL-cholesterol in predicting the future risk of artery disease. For example, in the well-respected studies on the reversal of heart disease by Dr. Dean Ornish, participants showed reversal on his very-low fat diet, while at the same time their triglycerides increased and their HDL-cholesterol levels decreased.42 In the most important study yet published on the reversal of artery disease using cholesterol-lowering medications (like Lipitor), researchers found that "good" HDL-cholesterol played no role in predicting the condition of the arteries (growth of plaques).[43]
Their final effort to right the heart-disease-promoting wrongs of the Atkins Diet is to focus on the size of LDL-cholesterol. Some studies show the larger the LDL-cholesterol particles in the blood, the less the risk of heart disease in a population. The size of LDL-cholesterol is tied directly to both triglycerides and HDL-cholesterol. If you agree with me that these two values are of little value in predicting the effects of diet on real-life artery disease, then the LDL-cholesterol particle size cannot be the saving grace for the Atkins Diet.60 Furthermore, a very low-fat diet improves the LDL-particle size without the adverse consequences on blood cholesterol caused by the Atkins Diet.[39]

As I was reviewing my notes from my dining experiences over the past five years for an upcoming State of the Northern Michigan Restaurant Industry article, I constantly found Modes Bum Steer with positive reviews in my notes. In fact, in the 50-plus times I have dined at Modes over the past five years, I described each experience as exceptional.
Recently I met with Epicurean Classic founder Mark Dressler who is returning the event to Traverse City (September 8-11). Dressler pointed out that one deciding factor to return the event to the region was the quality and commitment of the culinary scene in the area.
With so many new offerings in the region, sometimes there might be a tendency to overlook the classic places like Modes, Hermanns and the Rowe Inn.
Anita and her husband Bob opened Modes Bum Steer 36 years ago. Bob passed away four years ago this past July, but Anita and their daughter Skylar have kept the tradition going. In fact the whole team has kept that tradition of exceptional service and quality menu offerings going.
I stopped in last week to enjoy my favorite, their Rack of Lamb with a classic wedge and bleu cheese, and I overheard Anita talking about the fact that most of the staff has been with them for 20 to 30 years and the newbies take quickly to the Modes way of doing things.

PALATINE Ill. A Cook County circuit judge sentenced convicted killer Juan Luna, 33, to life in prison without parole for the murders of seven workers 14 years ago at a BrownŌĆÖs Chicken and Pasta restaurant in Palatine, Ill., a middle-class suburb of Chicago. Judge Vincent Gaughan also denied a motion from LunaŌĆÖs lawyers for a new trial. Ajury convicted Luna last May of seven counts of first-degree murder. Because one juror voted against the death penalty, his life was spared. His ...

I can't believe that I forgot to rate these. I think these bars are just heavenly. I took these to work about 1 year ago, and coworkers are still requesting that I bring them again. Delish!!!
I agree w/ChipotleChick the times were way off. I had to cook bottom for 5 mins more and the whole thing for 10 mins. more. Pineapple was bland. Did not enjoy these that much Sorry!
These had a lot of potential. Would have been really good if both cooking times had been sufficient. They turned out really soft and doughy. I think 4 minutes more baking the crust and an additional 5 minutes baking the whole pan would have proved much better results. The flavor of the pineapple was great though. These kind of reminded me of lemon squares.

Set him down for a nap in his infant carrier, or transfer him to him carrier once he falls asleep. Place the carrier on the floor, or on a table as long as he's never left unattended. Spread your supplies around the carrier, all within your reach.
Squirt fabric paint about the size of a large walnut on a paper plate and smear his hand in the paint. Make sure to get paint on each finger, but don't overload his hand or else the print will be a smeary mess. And don't worry if the paint gets under his nails. It's non-toxic and will wash off. Before pressing his hand onto the item you're about to embellish, try a test print on a piece of paper or another paper plate to make sure you've got the right amount of paint to achieve your desired effect.
Press the item onto his flattened hand and hold for just a few seconds. It doesn't take long for the paint to transfer to the fabric.
If you're making more than one baby handprint, you may need to reapply the paint, and make sure to wipe his palm and fingers clean before switching to a new color. And, if you're transferring his print onto fabric, stretch it over the cardboard to prevent the paint from bleeding through.

We are running the test case available here: http://linux.dvhart.com/tests/prio-preempt/For all required files, including librt.h, download the tarball here: http://linux.dvhart.com/tests/tests.tar.bz2The test case returns non zero on failure, so just run it in a loop, exitting on failure. The following is a patch by Mike Kravetz that seems to resolve the problem.Thoughts, comments?Thanks,-- Darren HartIBM Linux Technology CenterI've been looking into the priority preemption issues with [the prio-preempt test case]. My 'theory' is that when RT tasks are awakened they are not alwaysput on the 'best' runqueue. As a result, the rt_overload functionalityhas to be engaged to get the task to a CPU it can run on. This 'delay'in getting the task on a CPU is the 'bug' exposed by the testcase asa lower priority task is allowed to run during this delay.In the testcase, awakened worker tasks should all run on the same CPUas the others are busy running other higher priority tasks. But, fromthe scheduler's point of view these other CPUs might be a better placefor the awakened task because they are 'less loaded'.My quick and dirty patch (below) is to the try_to_wake_up path. Whenawakening an RT task don't send it to a remote CPU (determined tobe less loaded) unless it can prerempt the task running on the remoteCPU. In such cases the task is added to the current CPU's runqueue.I've been successfully running the C testcase for a while with this patchapplied.I'm not sure of there is a 'complete' solution to this problem withouta redesign of 'global' RT scheduling on SMP. The rt_overload mechanismdoes not guarantee strict priority ordering (as evidenced by this bug).Perhaps the best solution we can hope for with the current mechanism isto make the scheduler be smarter with RT task placement on SMP. Thiswould at least minimize the need for rt_overload.-- Mikediff -Naupr linux-rayrt12.1-r357/kernel/sched.c linux-rayrt12.1-r357.work/kernel/sched.c--- linux-rayrt12.1-r357/kernel/sched.c 2006-05-27 00:43:35.000000000 +0000+++ linux-rayrt12.1-r357.work/kernel/sched.c 2006-06-08 22:41:20.000000000 +0000@@ -1543,6 +1543,17 @@ static int try_to_wake_up(task_t *p, uns } } + /*+ * XXX Don't send RT task elsewhere unless it can preempt current+ * XXX on other CPU.

Mourant Ozannes swimmers raise thousands for Stroke victims
Two teams of swimmers from Mourant Ozannes have raised more than £8,000 for stroke victims and their families in the Channel Islands, by achieving what is believed to be a 'first' for Channel Island long distance swimming, completing a simultaneous inter-island relay challenge,
The teams achieved their remarkable feat in September in a combined time of just over 24 hours, with the Jersey to Guernsey leg swum in 11 hours 40 minutes 37 seconds and the team from Guernsey reaching the Jersey coast in 12 hours 20 minutes. It's thought to be the first time ever that the Jersey to Guernsey direction leg has been completed.
Both teams battled choppy water, jellyfish, and mist to complete the challenge. They were spurred on by the Channel Islands Airsearch plane, Lion's Pride, which made several low passes over the swimmers.
Robert Shepherd, Managing Partner of Mourant Ozannes Guernsey said: 'This was a remarkable achievement by two fantastic teams. To be the first to complete a simultaneous swim between the Islands in each direction, while raising funds for two very important charities, is something of which we can all be very proud.'
Mark Torode, who led the Guernsey team, said: 'We were overjoyed when we completed the swim. We had put in so much planning and preparation but it was never a sure thing that we would succeed. Now that we have totaled the funds raised we are even more delighted. Not only do I have to thank the team who took part, but we are all very grateful to those who have supported the Guernsey Stroke Association.'
The attempt was made possible thanks to the help and expertise of a number of volunteers who helped with planning and preparation, and crewed the support craft that were essential to the safety and success of the challenge.

Interface Fabrics adds to Terratex
June 25, 2001-- Home Textiles Today,
The newest member of Terratex's environmental brand of fabrics was debuted by Interface Fabrics Group (IFG) at Neocon here last week.
Corn is the bio-based fiber used to make the fabrics. The corn is converted into starch and, through several processes, to polyactide polymers and then into fiber form, Paul Bennotti, director of strategic marketing for IFG, explained. Bio-based refers to high-performance fibers from organic, annually renewable resources, he added.
The fabrics (shown at right), in dobbies in naturals and colors, are being developed for the panel cloth segment of the contract field "perform in fiber form at the high levels of synthetics, and now are being tested as fabrics," Bennotti reported. The fabric development is being done in conjunction with Herman Miller and Designtex. Market production of the fabrics is expected in the second quarter of 2002, when fiber producer Cargill Dow's plant is up and running in Nebraska, Bennotti added.
IFG has long been a leader in the development and production of environmental and renewable fabrics. Terratex fabrics are designed to use materials and processes that reduce waste, emissions, energy and water usage and are made of recycled or compostable materials. These materials include post-industrial polyester products that are derived from waste generated by an industrial process; post-consumer products made from used soda and water bottles, for example; and reclaimed wool that uses rewoven apparel wool fibers.

Electronic Record Keeping
Achieving and Maintaining Compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 and 45 CFR Parts 160, 162, and 164
Not available
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
moreThe current revolution in software, and the regulations that have evolved to address it, have increasingly caused companies to turn to off-the-shelf software for electronic record keeping. Data captured in computerized systems must be as reliable, if not more so, than data on paper. Electronic Record Keeping: Achieving Compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 and 45 CFR Parts 160, 162, and 164 explores how to evaluate, select, implement, and document an e-system that will keep your organization in compliance.
Covering Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 11 and the parallel, recently passed Title 45 CFR Parts 160, 162, and 164 of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), this book provides guidance for selecting, purchasing, installing, validating, and managing commercial off-the-shelf software for data collection and retention. It takes a number of years for industry standards for a new regulation to develop from dialog between companies and the regulating agency. These standards are in place for Part 11, which was passed into law in 1997. Healthcare providers who must implement electronic record keeping can learn how to best do it by understanding the parallel between the new HIPAA regulations and the industry standards for Part 11. Further, certain FDA-driven activities, such as patient record keeping in clinical trials, now must comply with the new HIPAA regs as well. To help companies achieve and maintain compliance, the authors cover audit trails, validation, documentation, training, and security and accountability. They discuss what the regulations say and what they mean.
Compliance may be mandatory, but it also makes good business sense. Companies that are compliant will always be poised to move forward, and they will avoid the grief that comes from poor or faulty record keeping and documentation. This book gives you the tools you need to keep your company both compliant and competitive. less

State parks are not only a place of natural beauty, they are also turning into an important source of funds for Hawaii.
Click here to watch Paul Drewes' story.
On most days - the Pali Lookout is a busy place as hundreds of visitors come to see the spectacular view of windward Oahu.
"You're not going to get a view like this. It's a stop we always make every time we come here," said Delaware resident Jerry Jay.
Tourists may view it as a place to see Hawaii's greenery, while the state sees the park as a way to make some green.
"We're in desperate need of operating money. We need money for the water bill, the electric bill, for fuel - and for fixing the trucks. So the money from parking or entrance fees helps subsidize our operating costs, big time," said Curt Cottrell, with the Department of Land and Natural Resources.
The Nuuanu Pali Wayside is one of six parks where the DLNR charges those fees to commercial tour companies and visitors.
"We were looking at where can we generate income with minimal impact to residents, but also tie it into the visitor industry. Because we know the visitor industry has some of the greatest impacts to our state parks," said Cottrell.
The revenue has added up.
Last year, parking at the Pali Lookout brought in more than $350,000 to the state. Fees from Iao Valley on Maui, along with Hapuna Beach and Akaka Falls on the Big Island, helped bring the total to more than $1.1 million.
The state's top revenue generating park Diamond Head brought in $1.2 million in 2013.
The additional revenue isn't earmarked to improve the state's most popular parks. Instead - it is spent on maintenance at all recreation areas.
Cottrell added that while there haven't been any physical improvements at the Nuuanu Wayside Park, having a parking attendant in the lot has improved safety.
"We did checks with HPD, and the vandalism and break-ins dropped significantly once we had an attendant on site," stated Cottrell.
"The parking fee is the best $3 I could spend. It was most definitely worth it," said Jay.
Even with millions in revenue, Cottrell said the parks department needs more. Twenty percent of ceded land revenue must go to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.
In the past two decades, general funds for parks have been cut in half.
So, in addition to productive parks, the state is already looking at other ways to make money.
"We're like a family looking for coins under the couch. We're now looking at a three-year lease at Diamond Head for a small gift shop," stated Cottrell.
The next park to see fees could be Makena Beach Park, but the state is first looking into whether part-time residents would be exempt.
The land board also approved collection of fees for Haena and Kokee state parks, but a master plan has to be worked out before fees are charged.

Because of tweaking by his record label, Pete Mills won't see his new album released until early 2014.
No matter. The Lewis Center saxophonist will take copies of his forthcoming Sweet Shadow effort — originally booked for a September debut — to a pair of concerts this weekend.
"This is the inside secret," said Mills, 47, who teaches at Denison University and performs full-time with the Columbus Jazz Orchestra. "We get to share this music with all the people in Ohio."
Mills' passion for music is no secret.
The native of Toronto, whose resume includes a decade of Tuesday-night jam sessions at Park Street Tavern (plus praise from DownBeat and JazzTimes magazines) will perform in a quintet on Friday and Saturday.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: There's a little bit of everything in it. It's probably in a straight-ahead kind of vein. My goal is always to have some roots in history but also put my own stamp on it.
I try to find melody in what I do. It's music that's fun. I think this record nails it.
Q: What's the meaning behind the title?
A: It's the idea of the shadow of people. It's a good shadow — of the history, of all the people that have come before us. This music is so big, we're just lucky to have a small part in it.
Q: How did you first get into jazz?
A: The music was on in our house. I do remember going to see the Count Basie Orchestra when I was a kid. They wheeled him out and put him in front of the piano. It was pretty powerful.
There was either this overt or implied thing that you had to take lessons on something. When piano became not my thing, the alternative was: "Well, we'll get you a saxophone teacher."
Q: Your new album and weekend shows feature musicians from Columbus and New York. Was it tough to get everyone in one place?
A: (For the album), I thought: "OK, January; guys don't work too much in January." I thought they'd be in town. Lo and behold, everyone was.
If you come to these shows, you're going to have a good time. We love the opportunity, and we don't take it for granted.
Q: What shadow might you want your own work to leave?
A: The idea of making a record anymore is an interesting feat. They're snapshots of one's life at the moment. If I can look back when I'm 80 years old and see some thread through my work; that's an important thing for me.
One of those threads is the music I was introduced to as a child by my dad, Ernie. One of his great loves was the music of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn. His shadow is always moving in and through my music.
