desperation, they called on a new member, a very reserved Englishman
who had just moved into the neighborhood from London, to join their
During their first game, the Englishman came to bat. On the very
first pitch, he knocked the ball out of the park.
The team members stood there, dumfounded! Unfortunately, so did
the Englishman. 'Run!' his teammates cried. 'For Pete's sake, run!'
The Brit turned and stared at them icily. 'I jolly well shan't
run,' he replied. 'I'm perfectly willing to buy you chaps another

Henry Ford dies and goes to heaven. At the Gates, St. Peter greets
Ford, and tells him, 'Well, you've been such a good guy, and your
invention...the assembly line for the automobile...changed the world.
As a reward, you can hang out with anyone in Heaven you want.' Ford
about it, and says, - 'I want to hang out with God Himself.'
So, the befuddled St. Peter takes Ford to the Throne Room, and
him to God. Ford then asks God, - 'When you invented Woman, what were
You thinking?'
God asks, 'What do you mean?'
Well,' says Ford, 'You have some major design flaws in your
1. There's too much front end protrusion.
2. It chatters way too much at high speeds.
3. Maintenance is extremely high.
4. It constantly needs repainting, and refinishing.
5. It is out of commission at least 5 or 6 of every 28 days.
6. The rear end wobbles too much.
7. The intake is placed too close to the exhaust.
8. The headlights are usually too small.
9. Fuel consumption is outrageous.
Just to name a few.'
Hmmm...,' replies God, 'Hold on a minute.' God goes over to the
Supercomputer, types in a few keystrokes, and waits for the results. In
time the computer prints out a report, and God reads it.
God then turns to Ford, and says, 'It may be that my invention is
flawed, but according to these statistics, more men are riding my
invention than yours.
A keen country lad applied for a salesman's job at a city department store. In fact it was
the biggest store in the world - you could get anything there. The boss asked him, 'Have
you ever been a salesman before?' Yes, I was a salesman in the country' said the lad.
The boss liked the cut of him and said, 'You can start tomorrow and I'll come and see
you when we close up.' The day was long and arduous for the young man, but finally 5
o'clock came around. The boss duly fronted up and asked, 'How many sales did you
make today?' 'One,' said the young salesman.
'Only one?' blurted the boss, 'most of my staff make 20 or 30 sales a day. How much
was the sale worth?' 'Three hundred thousand dollars,' said the young man.
'How did you manage that?' asked the flabbergasted boss.
'Well,' said the salesman 'this man came in and I sold him a small fish hook, then a
medium hook and finally a really large hook. Then I sold him a small fishing line, a
medium one and a huge big one. I asked him where he was going fishing and he said
down the coast. I said he would probably need a boat, so I took him down to the boat
department and sold him that twenty foot schooner with the twin engines. Then he said
his Volkswagen probably wouldn't be able to pull it, so I took him to the car department
and sold him the new Deluxe Cruiser.' The boss took two steps back and asked in
astonishment, 'You sold all that to a guy who came in for a fish hook?' 'No,' answered
the salesman 'He came in to buy a box of Tampons for his wife and I said to him, 'Your
weekend's shot, you may as well go fishing.''

While visiting England, George Bush is invited to tea with the Queen. He asks her what her leadership philosophy is. She says that it is to surround herself with intelligent people.
He asks how she knows if they're intelligent. 'I do so by asking them the right questions,' says the Queen. 'Allow me to demonstrate.'
She phones Tony Blair and says, 'Mr. Prime Minister. Please answer this question:
Your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or sister. Who is it?'
Tony Blair responds, 'It's me, ma'am.'
'Correct. Thank you and good-bye, sir,' says the Queen. She hangs up and says, 'Did you get that, Mr. Bush?'
'Yes ma'am. Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!'
Upon returning to Washington, he decides he'd better put the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to the test. He summons Jesse Helms to the White House and says, 'Senator Helms, I wonder if you can answer a question for me.'
'Why, of course, sir. What's on your mind?' 'Uhh, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?'
Helms hems and haws and finally asks, 'Can I think about it and get back to you?' Bush agrees, and Helms leaves.
Helms immediately calls a meeting of other senior Republican senators, and they puzzle over the question for several hours, but nobody can come up with an answer. Finally, in desperation, Helms calls Colin Powell at the State Department and explains his problem.
'Now lookee here, son, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?' Powell answers immediately, 'It's me, of course, you dumb cracker.'
Much relieved, Helms rushes back to the White House and exclaims, 'I know the answer, sir! I know who it is! It's Colin Powell!'
And Bush replies in disgust, 'Wrong, it's Tony Blair.'

I was outstanding throughout my career, I was always asked to stand outside the class.
One day, three onsultants, one from Wipro, one from Infosys and one from TCS, went together for a walk. They were old buddies from b- school, and they were joining together to remember the tough old days they went as students together. For no apparent reasons, they went into this zoo and passed an elephant. Having worked in the same field and from the same school, of course there was a little bit of peer competition going on between themselves, so when he saw this elephant, an idea clicked the Infosys guy, he said to the others ' Why don't we prove who are the best among ourselves?'. The other two, of course, agreed. Then the Infosysian said 'Let's make a test. Whoever can make this elephant laugh, he works for the best firm'. After they all agreed, they started. Being a pure logical strategist, the Infosysian tried to make the elephant laugh by telling jokes. Of course it stayed still... As a more practical consultant, the Wipro guy tried to make funny gestures... and the elephant still stayed still.... Now, comes the TCS guy.. Being the practical guy he was always told to be, he whispered something to the elephant, and it laughed at him while pointing its fingers to him... The other two were astonished. How come this TCS guy was able to beat them? So the Wipro guy said 'OK, let's make another test. Let's make this elephant cry !!'. So there they went again, practicing the same method as before. The Infosys guy told sad sad stories, the Wipro guy made sad gestures, and they fail again...... Then, the TCS guy whispered something again to the elephant's ear and it just cried, weeping.....and patting the TCS guy's shoulder. This cannot be, thought the other two. So the Infosyan said 'OK, you've won twice. If you can win this test, we will bow to you. Let's make this elephant run'. He went and bark to the elephant orders to run.Of course, it stayed still .... The Wipro guy pushes the elephant and stab it with stake to make it run, it stayed still. So...our TCS guy come to it and whispered something again to it's ear and the elephant ran and rabn as fast as it could, as if it was scared to death. The other two surrendered. They say 'OK, you're the best pal. You work for a very good firm, tell us your secret'. 'Well' said the TCS guy, 'the first time I made it laugh, I said I work for TCS'. ' When I made it cry as if it were very sad and patted me, I told the elephant how much I get paid'. ' And when I made it run scared to death, I said to it, Why don't you join TCS?'
A panda walks into a delicatessan. He
orders a sandwhich and begins to eat
quietly. When the waiter gave him his
check, the panda suddenly stood up and
pulled out a gun, shot out all the
windows, then began to leave the deli, the
manager said "Hey! You have to pay for
all the damage you did AND the
sandwhich!" Then the panda said "Hey!
I'm a panda! Look it up!" So when the
manager got home, he did. The dictionary
said "Panda: a bear-like creature with
black and white markings on its face.
Lives in China. Eats shoots and leaves."

'More five-star cars on the market means safer drivers, occupants and pedestrians'Lauchlan McIntosh, ANCAP chairmanThe new Beetle lifted its rating to five stars from the previous model's four.
Mitsubishi's Mirage has picked up the maximum five-star ANCAP safety rating, immediately following its official launch back into the New Zealand market.
The Mirage has been off the Mitsubishi menu for around a decade, but managed to score solid results across all the safety tests by the Australasian New Car Assessment Program.
Another well-known nameplate, the Volkswagen Beetle, also recorded five stars, as did the slightly less iconic Ford Kuga.
The Kuga has upheld its five-star rating across all variants of its second-generation model, which is set to launch in New Zealand later this year.
The new Beetle also scored well across all tests increasing its safety rating to five stars - a lift from the previous Beetle's four-star rating.
"With a record number of new cars sold in 2012 and continued strong sales in the first month of 2013, it is most encouraging to see that nearly 70 per cent of new cars sold in January held a five-star ANCAP safety rating," said ANCAP chairman Lauchlan McIntosh, referring to the Australian market.
"ANCAP wants to see this positive trend continue as we raise the bar for all safety ratings year on year.
"More five-star cars on the market means safer drivers, occupants and pedestrians," added Mr McIntosh.
ANCAP is supported by all Australian and New Zealand motoring clubs, the Australian Government, the New Zealand Government, Australian state and territory governments, the Victorian Transport Accident Commission, NRMA Insurance and the FIA Foundation.

The Luther College Fine Arts Collection is supervised by Curator, Kate Elliott, with assistance from Gallery Coordinator, David Kamm. Numbering over 1,600 works, the Collection contains art dating from ca. 500 BCE to the present with a focus on art produced in the 20th century. While many of the artists represented in the Collection originated from the upper Midwest, exemplified by Orville Running, many notable works were created by artists outside that area. Collection concentrations include works by California potter, Marguerite Wildenhain; German Expressionist, Gerhard Marcks; and New York artist, Frans Wildenhain. Norwegian-American art, principally represented by the artist Herbjørn Gausta; pre-Colombian pottery; and Inuit sculptures are also prominent elements of the Fine Arts Collection.
For information regarding right to publish or reproduce images from the Fine Arts Collection, please contact Dr. Kate Elliott.

Burning restrictions to be placed on Crow Wing, southern Cass counties
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will place burning restrictions on 13 additional counties in central Minnesota at 8 a.m. Monday, May 6, including Crow Wing and southern Cass (the portion south of Highway 200).
With the return to normal and above normal temperatures over the last few days, snow is rapidly melting, exposing dry grass and brush and creating a potential for wildfires.
The DNR restricts burning during the spring between the time when snow melts and green up. This is traditionally the time when most wildfires occur. In Minnesota, most wildfires are caused by people.
Once restrictions are in place, special permits will only be written for extenuating circumstances. This may include time-sensitive construction projects and prescribed burning conducted by professional firefighters. The DNR encourages the use of composting, recycling, and chipping as alternatives to burning.
If homeowners need to burn debris, they should plan to complete it before the restrictions take effect. When burning, use extreme caution, never leave the fire unattended, have a water source available and make sure fire is completely out before leaving.
While debris burning will be curtailed, campfires, if smaller than 3 feet in diameter and 3 feet in height, will still be allowed. Permits aren't required for this type of fire if it meets those conditions and is monitored until coals have cooled.
Fire conditions may change quickly. If conditions warrant, DNR foresters may restrict local burning on short notice.

Mayo Clinic doctors trained in brain conditions (neurologists) and brain surgery (neurosurgeons) work together to treat people with moyamoya disease.
Doctors will evaluate your condition and determine the most appropriate treatment for your condition. The goal of treatment is to reduce your symptoms, improve your blood flow and lower your risk of serious complications such as strokes, bleeding in your brain (intracerebral hemorrhages) or death.
Your treatment may include:
After you're diagnosed with moyamoya disease, if you have mild or no symptoms at first, then your doctor may recommend you take aspirin to prevent strokes. Consider giving your child over-the-counter pain medications such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) to ease symptoms.
If your symptoms become worse or if tests show evidence of low blood flow, your doctor may recommend revascularization surgery.
In revascularization surgery, surgeons bypass blocked arteries to help restore blood flow to your brain. Mayo Clinic doctors may use direct or indirect revascularization procedures, or a combination of both.
Direct revascularization procedures. In direct revascularization surgery, surgeons stitch (suture) the scalp artery directly to a brain artery (superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery bypass surgery) to increase blood flow to your brain immediately.
Direct bypass surgery may be difficult to perform in children, due to the size of the blood vessels to be attached.
Direct revascularization surgery has a risk of complications such as stroke.
Indirect revascularization procedures. Indirect revascularization includes several options. In indirect revascularization, the goal is to increase blood flow to your brain gradually over time. Indirect revascularization may have fewer complications and take less time to conduct than does direct revascularization.
In encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis (EDAS), your surgeon separates (dissects) a scalp artery over several inches.
Your surgeon makes a small temporary opening in your skull directly beneath the artery and attaches (sutures) the intact scalp artery to the surface of your brain, which allows blood vessels from the artery to grow into your brain over time. The surgeon then replaces the bone and closes the opening in your skull.
In encephalomyosynangiosis (EMS), your surgeon separates (dissects) a muscle in the temple region of your forehead and places it onto the surface of your brain through an opening in your skull to help restore blood flow.
Your surgeon may perform EMS with EDAS. In this procedure, your surgeon separates (dissects) a muscle in the temple region of your forehead and places it onto the surface of your brain, after attaching the scalp artery to the surface of your brain. The muscle helps to hold the artery in place as blood vessels grow into your brain over time.
Your surgeon may remove a portion of a fatty layer of tissue from the abdominal area, place it onto the surface of your brain, and attach the scalp artery to the blood vessel of the fatty layer (omental transplant). This procedure may restore blood flow to your brain.
Your surgeon may make multiple holes (burr holes) in your skull to allow new blood vessels to grow, either as a separate procedure or in combination with other procedures.
Your doctor may use other combinations of direct and indirect revascularization procedures depending on your needs.

LENOX, Iowa — Providers of a popular series of workshops on assisting cattle producers with heifer development have added a southwest Iowa location. Iowa State University (ISU) Extension and Outreach beef specialist Clint McDonald said producers and private business representatives recognize the need for the type of information presented in these workshops and worked to arrange a location near Lenox in early March.
"The session focuses on currently available technologies and management to increase productivity and longevity of heifers and includes topics ranging from health protocols to ration recommendations," he said. "Drs Heidsieck and Hensley from the Tri-County Veterinary Clinic of Lenox and Clearfield will be conducting on site ultra-sound evaluations of fall bred heifers to demonstrate the advantages of early pregnancy detection."
This session will be held at the Mike Standley farm north of Lenox on March 8 beginning at 6 p.m. Cost is $15 per person and preregistration is requested to ensure adequate meal and materials count. For more information, contact McDonald at 712-355-1034 or Joe Sellers at 641-203-1270. Preregister by calling ISU Extension and Outreach - Harrison County at 712-644-2105.
A list of series and site specific sponsors is on the Iowa Beef Center website.
From Casey's in Lenox, go 2 miles east to Vail Avenue. Turn left (north) for 1 mile. At Adams-Taylor Street, turn right (east) and go to the second place on the left (north). Look for the ISU Extension and Outreach signs.

The Expensive Way
We know consultants, thousands of them around the world, working in different sectors for various private and public sector clients!
Setting up and running a company from scratch is costly at the start, not to mention the ongoing monthly, quarterly and annual bills for filing, accounting, auditing etc. It is stressful, takes huge amounts of time, distracting you from running your business.
That's why we developed a simpler, cheaper and more effective solution for your company formation and administration needs.
So isn't there a simpler solution?
The Smart Way
Yes, there is! The great news is that you can share our simple company set-up solution. Lots of consultants contract through hubconsult, British owned and based in Hong Kong, saving them the cost and hassle of running a company themselves.
hubconsult and our partners run a company for you so you don't have to saving you time, money, and stress.
So there is a much smarter way of organising your company structure, and this is it!
And that is just where the benefits of hubconsult start for you!
The Inefficient Way
We can see the huge diversity in tax rates, VAT etc being paid by consultants, experts and companies around the world, and often quite different when their circumstances are the same. So many experts are not optimised on taxation. In other words, they are wasting more money, on top of the high fees they are paying on administration.
Does this sound familiar? "I am happy with my fee income but I have to pay a fortune in accounting and bookkeeping and I lose a weekend every month keeping up with the paperwork. And then, I have to pay almost half of it in tax when I'm based for most of the time out of the country!"
In fact, we just spoke to a British communications consultant in Italy who has over 55% deducted from her fees at source by her client. Hardly an incentive to work, and is actually encouraging her to think of leaving the country.
The Efficient Way
Good news is here! While your personal tax affairs are your own business, when you operate through hubconsult, your fee income generated outside of Hong Kong is paid to you gross, free of corporate tax. And that is not all...it is free of VAT too.
Being paid gross puts you more in control.
There are lots of cases where we can save you a large % of your net profit. If your business is with country A, your client in country B, and your residence in country C, then it is clear that you can optimise the location of your contracts and therefore your business income.
What your business needs..
What hubconsult gives you..
The simplest way to calculate how much you will save as a Hubconsult Associate is to try out Calculator (click the Calculator button on the menu above!). You input your revenues and costs (one-off and regular costs of running a company) as well as your tax rate on net profits, and then compare that against with what you retain as a Hubconsult Associate. You need to be registered (free) to use the Calculator. (Simplest way is log in with LinkedIn!)
If you are not ready to register, then don't worry we also have this worked example below.
For both of these examples, we use make the comparison in euros (€), whatever currency your business revenues and costs are actually in.

Establishing a company commits you to overhead and hassle
One thing is clear - the decision to set up a company is a substantial fixed cost commitment - both as a one-off cost and then annually. (Even if you don't have sales, you still need to pay this large overhead with bills to bookkeepers, accountants, lawyers, auditors on a regular basis. And it diverts your time away from creativity to things most of us don't want to be bothered with - boring administration and compliance!)
Your business location is worth optimising – failure to do so commits you to greater deductions than you may need to pay
Most people's business or company is structured in a way that they are liable to more Corporate Tax than need to pay, especially when their work is international.
(We have seen deductions of over half of net profit in some cases, when NI is taken into account - much higher even than we show in our typical example here.)
Correct structure helps your business to grow
Both of these factors – administration and poor structure create disincentives to innovative, grow and employ more staff.
The Hubconsult Associate solution for those who want to be efficient: minimise admin, downtime, and deductions
We believe the Hubconsult Associate solution can tackle the problem of expensive incorporation for freelancers and SMEs.
It is a major stride towards business simplification.
We compare both the set up fees and then the annual costs, showing you an average estimate of what you can save. And the result is very good news for you!
Online, professional, safe, efficient
How is this possible? Economies of scale help you benefit from efficiency savings while division of labour allows us to provide a more effective solution to you than your existing company structure could, which by the way also allows us to provide you with a better quality service, and a network for your business.
Admin costs proportionate to the size of your business
Unlike in the typical company scenario, your costs are not lumpy. Your costs grow proportionately as your income grows, giving you peace of mind. (We know some businesses where all of their income is consumed by their company overheads. We don't want to let that to happen to you!)

Hi everyone!
About 10-12 weeks ago we purchased and installed 2 hives of bees.
One hive is doing amazingly well. They've drawn out all frames in the original deep super and are working on a second super. The hive is a frenzy of activity.
The second hive has me extremely worried. They've only filled about 5 frames of the original deep. Plus lately, the activity level of bees leaving the hive has dropped dramatically. You hardly see any foraging bees. When we check, the queen is present and there are capped cells. No dead bees outside the hive. However, the number of bees is considerably less than in the strong hive. I think I'm seeing supercedure cells as well.
Is it normal for foraging to slow to almost a stop during supercedure? What should I do to help this hive along? Just let it go? Anyone have any ideas on what is going on?

Value of CEH
http://techrepublic.com.com/5208-1009-0 ... sults;CR56
I want to discuss the value of EC-Council's Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification. Is this credential worthy/unworthy? What makes it so?
I'd love to hear from those who have obtained the cert and whether or not it has helped advance one's career. I also want to hear from those who think it's a waste of time.
All opinions welcome Thanks!

Hi, My name is Gus and I am a proud owner of a 06 Solstice. I am a designer in Santa Monica Ca. and I have been working on some designs for a body kit for the Sol. I am looking for a company to release it and a Group of Sol drivers for a fist time group buy.The Kit will consist of the following:1 Front Bumper2 Side Skirts1 Hard Top1 Rear DiffuserClick on the link bellow for concept image:http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m229/Gusgus13604/Pontiac-SolsticebyGusgus3.jpgIll keep everyone posted on what companies show interest and on a rough price of the kit.Thanks,Gus
Very nice. I like the side shot:Looks like the Porsche Cayman a little.
"If one does not fail at times, then one has not challenged himself" Ferdinand Porsche
Hey Thanks, I really looked into Porsche and other exotics for inspiration.
Looks nice. I am not aware of any forum members owning a Solstice though.
Supreme Emperor of the Testing Forum, CTS and Offshoreqa forums.
Thanks, I'm posting in different forums. Hoping to get this project rolling.
Looks good, I like the roof with the flying buttresses.
Now that's a Solstice I'd consider buying!Now can you draw in a usable trunk?
LOL! Thanks, the hard top does have access to the trunk, though the trunk is very small.
I normally don't like body kits because they tend to look tacky and added on. If the finished product looks like this, it's a huge exception. It flows in with the body lines very nicely. Well done!
-------------------------------------------Bad decisions make good stories.
Thanks a lot. Hopefully I can find a company with enough experience so that we can achieve this look. I have seen many kits out in the market and unfortunately their is about a hand full of good ones.
Hey, that looks great! Very cool. Click on my profile and send me a private message; I think I can tell you of a couple places where you might be well off to post this.
The hardtop is brilliant. I do think the front fascia has too many Ferrari cues, though-it's a bit more angular than the overall form of the body.
------------------"If you're wondering how the robot-like march of the world's politicians towards Copenhagen can possibly continue in the face of 'Climategate,' it's because Big Government, Big Business and Big Green doesn't give a **** about 'the science'" -Lorrie Goldstein
Hi Gus,I must say that you do great work. I'm always leery of aftermarket body kits, but yours is very professional and distinctive looking. Here's wishing you good luck with your project.
If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.
It looks like RUF product, there's almost no Pontiac left.In other words: Great job! That's a good lookin' car.
Once again the aftermarket has to do what the professional designers at Pontiac can't. Make a decent looking car. IMO it looks like a cross between the RUF Cayman and the 599 in a Fiero crossdressing as an F40 kind of way.
Reat the ich.

Adventureland [DVD] [Canadian]
1 disc
Region 1 USA/CA (
Capturing all at once the wistful emotions of early adulthood, the chaotic freedom of youth, and that uniquely wonderful boredom of summer, Greg Mottola's coming-of-age comedy, ADVENTURELAND, splits the difference between his commercial breakthrough, SUPERBAD, and his underrated debut, THE DAYTRIPPERS. ADVENTURELAND follows recent college grad James Brennan (Jesse Eisenberg) as he slogs his way through summer as a games attendant at a local amusement park, where he learns about the shady goings-on of the carny's world and is introduced to an assortment of weirdos, stoners, goons, and other lost souls. Among that last group is the angsty Em (Kristen Stewart), who captures James's heart despite her involvement with the park bad-boy, a rocker-turned-maintenance-man (Ryan Reynolds) who seduces women with a dubious story about jamming with Lou Reed.
Though the movie has its share of vomit scenes and erection jokes, Mottola is surprisingly restrained in his use of gross-out humor (particularly given SUPERBAD's near Shakespearean vulgarity), with much of the film's more blatant hilarity coming courtesy of Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig as the park's completely unhinged yet utterly in love managers. At its core, ADVENTURELAND is really nothing more than a coming-of-age story set in a colorful locale--the monotonous siren call to "Step right up!" compels after-work beer blasts, random make-out sessions, and drunken existential yearning. Yet what in any other film would be played for cheap laughs and easy smiles is here used to conjure the ineffable mystery of a summer romance. Through a mixture of pleasing performances, a nuanced script, and a brilliant soundtrack (featuring the Replacements, Husker Du, David Bowie, and, of course, Lou Reed), Mottola has created a bittersweet delight that will stay with the viewer long after the midway goes dark.

Critic Reviews
"With a keen affection for his formative years, filmmaker Greg Mottola has crafted a funny and spunky amusement....Eisenberg is perfect as an intelligent and naive grad....Kristen Stewart is similarly sympathetic..."
Hollywood Reporter
3 stars out of 4 -- "Director Greg Mottola, who made the rather wonderful SUPERBAD, is back now with a sweeter story, more quietly funny....[The actors] make ADVENTURELAND more real and more touching than it may sound."
Chicago Sun-Times
"[With] a talented cast led by Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart and a potent soundtrack....Engaging, bittersweet and even fun....ADVENTURELAND's recognizable satisfactions feel well earned."
Los Angeles Times
"ADVENTURELAND re-creates its era superbly....Eisenberg is excellent....He is a carnival of complex emotions."
USA Today
"[T]he story of a young man's coming of age never gets old, at least when it is told with the kind of sweetness and intelligence ADVENTURELAND displays."
New York Times
"Mottola, the director of SUPERBAD, works with rare feeling and flow. He shows every bit as loving and pinpoint-perfect an observational eye for the late '80s as George Lucas did for the end of the greaser era in AMERICAN GRAFFITI." -- Grade: A-
Entertainment Weekly
3 stars out of 5 -- "Poignant, funny and touching....As a snapshot of a particular place, time and sensibility, ADVENTURELAND almost cannot help but succeed -- from the pitch-perfect '80s soundtrack to such gleefully entertaining supporting characters as Margerita Levieva's Lisa P..."
Box Office
"[ADVENTURELAND] sets the goofiness of extended adolescence against the sadness of being adrift in the adult world. There's no shortage of felicitous lines or interesting performances..."
Wall Street Journal
"Thanks to an exceptionally deft touch, Mottola manages to capture the absurdity and anguish of young adulthood, while never sacrificing meaning on the altar of crude humor."
Washington Post
Stewart proves that her new starpower is grounded in actual acting ability.
"The writer-director blends sassy and sad in the style of his 1996 debut, THE DAYTRIPPERS....Eisenberg and Stewart bring delicate emotion to their roles..."
Rolling Stone
"Jesse Eisenberg anchors the film nicely...but FREAKS AND GEEKS' Martin Starr steals the show as his hilariously sardonic booth-mate..."
A.V. Club
4 stars out of 5 -- Mottolas period piece is smartly observed, witty and well-acted, with recognisable characters we actually care about.
Total Film
Included in Entertainment Weekly's "The Best Films Of The Year" -- "Eisenberg proves a true star..."
Entertainment Weekly
4 stars out of 5 -- "A wry, soulful teen romance with contemporary comedy elements intact....The surface humour is great..."

Lawmakers to decide on regulations for ride-sharing companies
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Colorado Springs' first Uber driver offered his first ride Sunday as lawmakers prepare to weigh in on regulations for ride-sharing companies.
Colorado's state Senate is scheduled to take a final vote on a bill to regulate app-driven transportation companies like Uber and Lyft.
Uber connects drivers and passengers through a mobile application. Drivers sign in when they are available and customers sign in when they want a ride. Customers can see the location of the nearest driver and receive minute-by-minute updates on their selected driver's arrival time. When the customer has been dropped off, the fare is charged to a credit card the customer has previously synced with the application.
"When a call comes in, it says I have 10 seconds to accept (the customer's request) and then it tells me where the person is," said driver Chip Caruana as he scrolled through the Uber application on his phone.
Caruana is Colorado Springs' first Uber driver. He drives his own car but Uber decides the rate for his passengers.
He signed up to drive in his spare time to earn extra cash. It turns out KRDO NewsChannel 13's ride request was Caruana's first in Colorado Springs.
"I think as more people learn about the app and car sharing services, it will spread to the Springs," said Caruana.
State Senator George Rivera, Pueblo, and State Senator Bernie Herpin, Colorado Springs, are sponsoring a bill to make sure riding-sharing companies like Uber and Lyft stay in business.
Senate Bill 125 will require background checks for drivers and vehicle inspections. It also tackles the insurance problem that's at the center of debate between ride-sharing company enthusiasts and Colorado Public Utilities Commission.
There is some gray area when it comes to insurance. Under Senate Bill 125, drivers would be covered under their personal car insurance until they accept a customer through the application. Once a driver accepts that customer and is in route to pick them up, the driver is then covered under the ride-sharing company's commercial insurance.
"We want to make sure the drivers are capable, they have a good driving records, they don't have a criminal record," said Rivera. "And again, the insurance is critical so that when someone is out in one of those cars, should the drive make a mistake and run a stop sign, get in a wreck or someone hit them, that they are covered under insurance."
The alternative would require drivers to purchase their own commercial insurance and Herpin said the out-of-pocket costs for that would not make the endeavor profitable for drivers. Herpin and Rivera said a decision must be made on regulating ride-sharing companies or they will be shut down statewide.
Taxi companies and its drivers argue the bill isn't fair. Bob is an independent contractor with Yellow Cab in Colorado Springs. He said Uber and Lyft drivers would be under less strict regulations and he thinks that's wrong.
"What's the sense of having regulations if the state isn't going to protect the regulated cab drivers?" said Bob.
Herpin said there are Republicans and Democrats backing this bill. He said it will likely pass in the Senate. He is not sure how the bill will do in the House of Representatives.

|st: continuous dependent variable with lots of zeros
|Thu, 28 Nov 2002 16:34:26 -0800 (PST)
Dear Stata listers: I am running a regression in which my dependent variable is continuous but it has big chunk of zeros. I know that the variable is not truncated or censored in any way so OLS should be the correct estimator. However this type of estimation will run into problems because the resulting residuals will typically not be "well-baheved" (there are grossly non-normal) Any Idea on how to proceed? When the dependent variable is 0/1 or ordinal there are some procedures available (zero-inflated estimators) but I have not found anything when the dependent variable is continuous. thanks for the help! > > Julio > > __________________________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!

We arrived at Hershey around 3:00 pm and boy was it crowded. After I unloaded the car Kathy and I drove around to find a site. We found site B-11 so we left the car parked at the site so that nobody would take it from us. Then Kathy drove the Rv to the site, she had to make 4 left turns and then she backed it up. She is doing a GREAT job.( Kathy is now our official backer upper) I hope she still needs me.lol
Kathy left for New York at 7:00 am with Rv Seven, I miss them both already.She is going to get all of our stuff taken care of, see her family and then HURRY back to her Best Man
I got the package that my brother Ricky sent to me. It was a new hat with all of the names of the Thousand Trails parks I have been to. I posted a picture of the hat in this blog. Jimmy and Sandy invited me up to there Rv after I did my evening walk and they bought me jelly donuts from Dunkin Donuts. While we eating them a bird pooped on Jimmy. You guessed it Sandy and I laughed but for some reason Jimmy did not laugh. lol

John Mayer has revealed his new music with a 1 minute preview of his new studio single 'Shadow Days'. The single is part of his new album Born And Raised which John actually started a little while ago but had to postpone when he found out that he has a throat condition that needed him to take a break from singing. But Yesterday John went to his official Tumblr account to reveal the single and posted a message saying, "Been looking forward to a post like this since October 14, 2010, the first day I started writing this group of songs… Enjoy." Have a listen to his new stuff. Have you missed John Mayer?
At the end of last year John told fans he was unwell. He said, "This is a temporary setback, though I'm not sure how long or short a period of time it will be," Mayer wrote on his Tumblr. "I've got the best doctors in the country looking after me and I will be singing and touring again as soon as I get the all clear."
This will be John's first album since 2009's Battle Studies. The good news is that John is well again and is back into his music so hopefully we wont have to wait so long next time for more John Mayer tunes. The song 'Shadow Days' definitely has a John Mayer sound to it, soothing vocals, guitar and drums. It is also a bit less poppy and has a slightly more rock feel to it I think. The lyrics are also characteristically Mayer with lots of love and making love… "It sucks to be honest / And it hurts to be real / But it's nice to make some love that I can finally feel."
Have a listen to the 60 second snippet and get your John Mayer fix until his album comes out later this year.0

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I have a question about getting the dull finish off my new/old 128. I used oil to clean off the gunk, but it is still dull. I rubbed quite awhile. Does this mean that there isn't any shellac left? or do I need to keep rubbing with oil? I can feel the decal edges so the finish appears to be pretty thin. And, I want this beauty to be SHINY enough to reflect light. That's not happening at this point. Help!!
I meant to behave......but there were too many other options
Nanna, No problem as we freely share our knowledge on this thread and this site. When I'm there, I end to buy 2 - 3 at a time simply because I like to have them on hand for any new to me vintage machines that may need a tire. I do usually change that because I never know what age the tires may be and it's an inexpensive piece to replace.[/QUOTE]
I buy as many as sew-classic needs for the discount - I routinely replace them and belts and felt pads.
NEVER let a sewing machine know you are in a hurry.
good mothers let you lick the beaters - great mothers turn it off first
If you have the machine clean, it's time to stop. The patches of dullnes is the old shellac. The edges of the decals are telling you they are exposed. Stop right there. If you keep going the decals will be totally ruined.
Here is a tutorial by Skip about how to fix the shellac on the machines:
Cleaning and repairing the shellac clear coat on vintage sewing mcahines
I haven't done that yet, but I have several machines that could use it.
miriam, you're right. I probably will need more tires and belts, etc. I have been getting a few machines lately.
Joe, thats what I was thinking. I don't want to do any damage to these decals. I've bookmarked Glen's tutorial and I have more machines that I need to work on once I get full use of my hand and arm again. Everyone tells me it will be another 4-6 weeks and then I'll still have to build up strength. So, I'm lining up the machine projects. I'll have so many questions once that happens.
I am having a banner week for sewing machines. My husband picked me up, at a random flea market stop, a Singer 500A (cordless, but already ordered cord) for $25 and a badly scuffed up Redeye for $15; both got a shot of oil, and when hand turned, they both make nice stitches. Then on a online ad, I found a $30 201 with accessories, book, and zz attachment, that my daughter picked up for me today. I have not seen it, but she says it is pretty. And on a cold call at a junk store, I got a nearly mint 237, for $10, that was ready to sew after I wiped the little bit of grime off. It will be a good machine to loan to close relatives who get a notion to sew something. I had been on a machine diet, but fell (jumped) off the wagon this week. The 201 has been on my wish list for a long time. Happy dance here today.

Who would think that Japan TV would be a milestone in television today. Japan TV first started in 1939 making it one of the first countries in the world with television service. The experiment only lasted a couple months but it made an impact on television today. Television was regularly broadcast in Japan in 1951. You would think with the history of television in Japan they would offer a more wide variety of channels, however this is not the case.
Japan TV has only six nationwide television networks. The six nation wide networks include Nippon Hoso Kyokai, Nippon New Network, Japan New Network, Fuji New Network, All-Nippon New Network and TV Tokyo Network. Remaining stations on Japan TV are heavily controlled by the Japanese Association of Independent Television Stations. Most of the programs are considered in-house productions.
The idea of satellite cable is becoming increasingly popular in Japan. On Japan TV the concentrate on several types of programing. The most popular programing includes variety shows, news, sports programs, drama and trivia shows. During the morning hours Japan TV airs whole shows that are aimed at the Japanese housewife. On cable television in Japan, American movies are the most popular shows.
Much of the television in Japan offers English translation. Television is Japan is wildly popular. Television is everywhere in Japan. You can find televisions in stores, cars and on large billboard of busy streets. Subway cars are even equipped with television sets. It is estimated that the average Japanese household has at least two television sets. Japan TV uses a technology called Hi-Vision.
The average show broadcast in Japan has 525 scanning lines while Hi-Vision has 1,125 scanning lines. This accounts for a five times sharper image. It is estimated that a Japanese child watches four hours of television per day. Television has become a booming industry in Japan.

No Needle Shots?
Over the last several months I have had a lot of patients (especially those that are old enough to talk) ask me about the new needless jet injectors for vaccinations. Of course anything that says no needle and painless has a lot of appeal for both doctor and patients, especially in pediatrics. Our practice has not decided whether to try out the new jet injectors and we are still giving the standard shots, not always with smiling patients. How do jet injectors actually work? By using a thin high pressure of liquid to penetrate the skin with the vaccine. Well, now that it is flu vaccine season, there has been a lot of advertising about needless injections for flu vaccine. Many drug stores and/or grocery stores had advertised that you could get your flu vaccine, pain free. Sounds great, right? Not so fast, the FDA recently announced that all vaccines including flu vaccine be administered in accordance with their labeling. This means that flu vaccine has not been studied when given by the new jet injectors. The FDA also stated that there was no data to show the safety or efficacy of flu vaccine or other vaccines given by injectors. The only vaccine that has currently been approved to be given by the jet injectors is the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine. The flu vaccine may be given by the traditional method with a needle, or as a nasal mist (for use in children 2 years of age and older). Most of our patients opt for flu mist if they can talk and sniff. It is amazing that there are several children who really do prefer a shot, and they tell me that they would never sniff something up their nose. Different strokes for different children. But in the meantime, I am not jumping on the jet injector bandwagon. The FDA is now stating that each vaccine needs to be evaluated for both safety and efficacy when given by a jet injector. I am sure that those studies will be forthcoming.
In the meantime, RUN to get your flu vaccine, it is time to get vaccinated as sick season is starting and who wants the flu! That's your daily dose for today. We'll chat again tomorrow.

text: Which team worries Giant fans the most? Falcons, 49ers, Bears or any other. I really dont think GB will make it, too many injuries and their just not that good this year. I think Seattle gets in and maybe the Redskins is another team that could come on at the end of the year. I think the Bears have what it takes to win it all with their defense and same goes for SF. Atlanta will choke in the first round again. The Giants have a much better offense and defense but they are peaking too early. GB did that last year and lost, same with the Colts and 07 Pats. I could be wrong though. The Giants play great under pressure in the postseason. I can see a rematch of the Giants vs Pats again.


text: what do y'all think? I have been reading about them and the P22 seems to be getting some rough reviews. I think it.s the crappy ammo? so im buying one any way. i filled out the p-work this morning and was promptly delayed from making the purchase, bummer! The clerk asks if i ever had a back ground check before and i told him about 10 in the last 18 months. BINGO!!!!! they assured me that it would come thru in the next few days


text: This is a viral disease that is capable of spreading from one person to another. It is most common in the lives of children especially babies. It is also referred to as rubeolla or rubella in Germany. Others call it mobilli. It infects the respiratory system. When one gets into contact with fluids such as saliva from an infected person, then you will also get infected. This is very dangerous when it comes to viral diseases since they spread very rapidly and cause deaths.

I didn't get up early and take advantage of Black Friday. Seems I've lost my taste for physical gift giving so waiting in long lines and fighting a crowd is no longer fun. Maybe it's because my five grandchildren are all teenagers with enough "things" that they don't get excited about another game or gift card. These kids have cars and cell phones and things I never dreamed about when I was their age.
I decided a few years ago that I would have to be a little more creative if I was going to be a grandma in good standing. It was then that I chose to do our first day trip. The five grandchildren have four years difference from oldest to youngest (two families). This makes it fairly easy to do the same thing with all of them. So I planned a train ride on Amtrak from Martinez to Sacramento. We went to Old Town and visited the train museum. We had lunch and then rode in a horse drawn wagon. We shopped for penny candy and souvenirs. It was a great day.
Our next trip was to San Francisco. I took them up to Coit tower, down Lombard Street, out on Pier 39, up to twin Peaks, on a cable car, out on the Golden Gate bridge, and we lunched in Ghiradelli Square. It was a really fun trip.
The grandkids were getting bigger and more mature. I felt we could handle a distance trip so where did everyone want to go -- Disneyland. I wasn't sure I could manage all the walking but we overcame that with Grandma in a rental wheelchair. They had fun pushing me and my arthritic knees did not throb. We were there for two days and I survived the long days and frenetic energy. We went on every ride. The rollercoaster was a real jolt and the fireworks were spectacular. The memories are wonderful.
Back at home our next trip was another San Francisco activity. We went to Alcatraz. The day was sunny and mild. The boat ride delightful. We toured the prison with our headsets listening to the stories of the past. When we were done, we went for lunch on the wharf. It is really great that San Francisco offers so much and so close.
So I am now thinking about our next jaunt.
I want a place to go that's not too far and something we can do this Spring, preferably something outdoors. There will be 4 not 5 of them as the oldest is away at college. I want to be able to participate but the arthritic knees are definitely an issue. Another wheelchair perhaps?
I've been reading my travel books but I like suggestions from friends and family. If you been to a place that you thing teenagers would like, please feel free to contact me with your suggestion. I'd like something different, unusual, off the beaten path...
Got any ideas? Please share.
And if you are struggling with gift ideas maybe you will take a page from my book and include some special activities with your family.

Tuna Tartare with Ginger and Toasted Sesame
This version of tuna tartare steals ingredients from the sushi counter, with pickled ginger, rice vinegar—typically used in making sushi rice—and a bit of soy sauce tossed with the finely diced fish. Spoon it onto small plates as an appetizer, or into a bowl alongside taro or other crisp chips for a cocktail party snack. (It's best served right away; as it sits, the tuna begins to lose color, though the flavor remains quite good.) Look for pickled ginger near the prepared sushi at your local grocery store, or in the Asian foods section.

Stick a fire hose in the bunker and flood it. If he comes out great, if not who cares. It worked to get that looser john walker the so called American taliban freedom fighter out of his bunker. If it's a forest they should have some sort of firefighting capability to get water that close to a road. Heck I don't even think they'd have to flood it all the way. after a few days in knee deep water with no heat or dry feet and he'll be ready to poke his head outside.
They'll never take him alive.
Looks like he might already be dead.
Looks like he shot himself, by the report anyway.
Seattle-area tactical officers who slogged for hours over dangerously steep, muddy ground to find him were prepared too. They pumped in tear gas, called for him over bullhorns, and, after 22 hours, set off explosives along the top of the bunker Saturday.
Keller was inside, already dead of a self-inflicted gunshot. A handgun was next to his body.
Anybody read the comments after the article? Those anti-gun nuts scare the hell out of me!!
Anouther example of why a fixed position dosn't work, look at the Sigfreed line as an example. Just about the strongest possible fortifications you could imagine, but it still didn't work. Fixed cache is fine but don't depend on a bunker for a defensive position, it won't work for long. Fix position is fine for survival porpouses if you have no out side detectible source of smoke or have a really well hidden entrance and exaust/intake outlets, and don't allow any confrontations in that area prompting an area search.
Always fight from a moveible position far from any cache or home bunker as possible, good old gorrilla tactics. If ya really feel the need for a bunker, go for it, but don't draw any attition to it or you'll loose it. That's where the NVA always screwed up, they'd fight back to these positions making it easyer to locate them. Evaide and escape is the way to go, and only go back for resupply or to vanish, never fight from there or otherwise draw attition to the area.
Yet another crazy adding fuel to the fire of gun control.
Always a few,,,,,,, no matter what stripe your of!!!!
Guy was a friggen wack ball.
Think Gunco nailed it. Now everyone with a tornado shelter or survival shelter is going to be a nut case.
"Smelled smoke from his bunker"
Probably cooking his last meal..
They should have poured Foo-Gas down the pipe and made the idiot's last meal well done.

Reviews for this host's other properties
We felt very comfortable in the apartment. The handover was very straightforward and friendly. The apartment is clean and cozy.
Wir haben uns in der Wohnung sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Übergabe war sehr unkompliziert und freundlich. Die Wohnung ist sauber und gemütlich.
The apartment is smaller than the pictures, and is no so beauty as the pictures.
Actually this is not a recommendable place.
When we arrived we think "We should have gone to an hotel".
The apartment is in a very good area full of bars and very close to all the attractions and is equipped so that nothing is missing in the stay
El departamento esta en una muy buena zona, llena de bares y muy cerca de todas las atracciones y esta equipado para que no falte nada en la estadia
There were three in the rather small but very cozy and clean apartment. A small drawback is that there are only two persons dishes, two cups, etc. In an otherwise good facilities. The handover was very straightforward that the deposit was not at all necessary, and we would be taken very friendly in reception. The location is perfect and is only a short time to many important places.
Wir waren zu dritt in dem recht kleinen aber sehr gemütlich eingerichteten und sauberen Appartement. Ein kleines Manko ist, dass es nur für zwei Personen Geschirr gibt, zwei Tassen, usw. Bei einer ansonsten guten Ausstattung. Die Übergabe lief völlig unkompliziert, die Hinterlegung der Kaution war garnicht nötig und wir würden sehr freundlich in Empfang genommen. Die Lage ist perfekt und man ist in kürzester Zeit an vielen wichtigen Orten.
We never met John as from what I understand this is a company of various apartments in Paris, so we were greeted by Guillermo (I presume an employee) a very pleasant guy who was happy to give us some tips on the Area but as he had to shoot off to another apartment could not stay to long and chat.
The flat is small, smaller than the actual pictures (30 m in totall / 2 rooms ) but nice and clean. Kitchen is also smaller in real life! Bathroom is a few years old but clean. To be honest we where a bit disappointed with the size since for this price I think we could have got a larger / nicer flat but due to late booking this was one of the few available for our dates and Area,
Advantages: The area, Le Marais is one of the better spots to stay in Paris , (close to everything) and the district is quite trendy with many places to dine and wine and shops / Galeries and the Sunday market is quite an experience.
Disadvantages, the price and size of apartment, being an attic with fairly high windows does not help too much, although the flat is quite bright.
In all not sure if we got our value for money here, I have seen better flats with similar or lower prices, however the service was good and no real complains with the company or Wimdu
Would I go back to the same flat, I dont think so as next time I would book in advance just to find a better deal for my cash.
Excellent location!!! The apartment is in a great supurb surrounded by some of the cities best cafes. Only downsides were it was on rthe 6th floor with no elevater and the hot water does not last long. Other then that, the apartment is well equiped and i would definately rwcommend a stay here
Excellent appartment and excellent location. Well equipped and suiteful for a sall family.
A great apartment in the lively Le Marais.Goede quality / price ratio.
Een geweldig appartement midden in de gezellige wijk Le Marais.Goede prijs/kwaliteit verhouding.
The apartment has a great location in the Marais. It is located in the center yet tranquilad you breathe in the apartment because it is isolated from the bustle attic. The building where the apartment is located is an old building with lots of charm and well maintained.
Regarding the apartment, it is very comfortable and functional, although we found it dirty and lacking maintenance (grease pans, silverware dirty, with many living room carpet lint and hair, dust shelves long). Sheets and towels if they were clean.
For the price paid and the guarantee of 500 €, we find that the price does not correspond to the quality offered in terms of cleanliness. Thank you.
El apartamento tiene una ubicación increíble, en el barrio Le Marais. Esta situado en el mismo centro y a la vez se respira tranquilad en el apartamento porque es un ático aislado del bullicio. El edificio en el que se encuentra el apartamento es un edificio antiguo con mucho encanto y bien conservado.
Respecto al apartamento, es muy cómodo y funcional, aunque lo hemos encontrado sucio y falto de mantenimiento (sartenes con grasa, cubiertos sucios, alfombra del salón con muchas pelusas y pelos, estanterías con polvo de mucho tiempo). Las sabanas y toallas si estaban limpias.
Por el precio pagado y la fianza de 500€, lo encontramos que no se corresponde el precio con la calidad ofrecida en cuanto a limpieza. Gracias.
The apartment is charming, quiet and well situated. It has everything that you need. I would suggest a couple of improvements : 1. The fridge needs to be changed or fixed as it was leaking water. 2. The extra pillows have to be changed as they were too dirty.
