"We ordered these for my daughter. We changed the font color to baroque which is a nice shade of purple. It was easy to do, but I recommend ordering a digital proof. We also liked how much space there is on the invitation. We were able to include all the party details and did not have to order a separate reception card. Invitations turned out beautiful and we received lots of compliments on them."
"The card is very good quality. I was especially happy with the person who helped me refine the design! I wish I could have downloaded the font to use for the envelopes. I did not consider using a font that I had. The price was definitely right and the quick delivery was very helpful."
"This card is colorful, fun and was the perfect selection for my son's Bar Mitzvah. We printed the reception information on the back of the card with a green background. We received many compliments as everything thought it was so beautiful and youthful looking. The paper quality was excellent without upgrading."
"I used this card for my daughter's second birthday party, which was all butterfly themed. I wanted a more sophisticated, elegant design than the usual butterfly invitations and this one was perfect. I got a lot of compliments on it from the guests that we invited. The design also tied in with our outdoor/park party. I only wish that there were matching thank you cards in the same design."

VMWare Fusion test
Par Arnaud Boudou le samedi 18 août 2007, 16:54 - Apple - Lien permanent
If you want to run Windows on an Intel based Apple computer, there were two possible ways : Boot Camp, Apple's solution which allows you to natively install Windows on your Mac, but you need to reboot your computer each time you want to switch between Windows and Mac OS X. Second solution is Parallels Desktop, which allows you to run Windows along Mac OS X, into a virtual computer (tested here).
First solution allows Windows to directly access to the hardware, then allow 3D acceleration (and allows you to easily use games designed for Windows). Second solution allows you to save a reboot, but 3D games are forbidden : computer is virtual, devices are virtual too and don't support 3D acceleration (and, because of virtualization, performances are under "native" ones).
Here comes a new challenger, it's VMware Fusion, which promises us simultaneous 3D acceleration and computer virtualization.
- 18/08/2007: Update for VMware Fusion 1.0 (3D is back).
- 08/06/2007: Update for VMware Fusion 1.0 beta 4 (and there are not only good news).
- 08/04/2007: Mouse issue with FPS fixed.
- 07/04/2007: Update for VMware Fusion 1.0 beta 3.
- 25/03/2007: First post about WMvare Fusion 1.0 beta 2.
Quick view
New challenger ? Not really. Even if it's true on Apple platform, VMware provides virtualization solutions since Windows and Linux since many years. While coming onto Cupertino's operating system, it gains 3D acceleration and multi-core virtualization (about the last statement, please tell me if it was the case before, but it seems not).
Test case
In order to test VMvare Fusion, I've created onto my MacBook a virtual computer with 512 MB of RAM, two virtualized cores and with 3D acceleration. About this last feature, the applications warns you about possible bad behavior with GMA 950 based machines. Onto this machine, I've installed Windows XP with all available services packs and fixes.
Installation and first overview
The virtual machine runs relatively smoothly, but it's not perfect. Windows XP installation takes less than one hour. I continue with hotfixes install, VMware tools install, which promise me : better graphical experience, better network experience, better mouse experience,
better sexual experience, etc.
About mouse manager, it's really better: you don't need to clic onto virtual machine anymore if you want it to mouse control, but you just have to move mouse pointer over it: if mouse pointer is over virtual machine, it get mouse control; if not, Mac OS X get it.
From keyboard side, I still not have same keyboard mapping between Windows and Mac OS X, and I don't like it (to get identical mapping, you must download patches here).
Then, graphic drivers add an interesting feature. VMware Fusion gives you an unlimited amount of available resolutions. You just have to resize the window in order to get Windows resolution automatically adapted: if I resize the windows to 1280x500, Windows resolution will be 1280x500. It's the end of horizontal and vertical scrollbars, you may adapt the window to your needs.
A new "Unity" mode appears: this feature allows your Windows applications to run within the same plane than Mac OS X applications without being kept into virtual machine's window. And Windows' windows are treated like natives ones: they drop shadows, are visible within Expose, which is not Parallels' case.
With beta 4, performances are better, and virtual machine provides a better experience. Some slowdowns still occur, but it's perfectly usable. We are near native computer performances. However, there are still massive slowdowns when I switch from virtual machine to real one. In all cases, VMWare performances are lower than Parallels Desktop's ones.
Note for users of Macs with GMA950 (only for Beta 4 version, 3D is back with final version)
For users of these kind of machines (MacBook and Mac Mini), you may stop reading at this point. Since beta 4, 3-D acceleration is no more available as said into release notes: "3-D acceleration does not work on Macs that use the Intel GMA 950 graphic chipset.". If you activate this feature, you will get the following message when booting virtual machine: "Failed to construct OpenGL rendering backend. The 3-D features of the display card will be disabled.".
Is this stupid ? Yes, really. Hoping Parallels Workstation won't have the same "feature".
Then the following info will only concern VMware Fusion beta 3 and won't be updated anymore.
Vmware and Direct3D
Here comes VMware's hottest feature, 3D acceleration. VMware should support DirectX 8.1 acceleration, then I'll have to test with not too recent games. It's OK, I have three or four of them, and they were not tested by developer team. All tests were performed with latest available patches, and all these games run perfectly with BootCamp using native resolution (when it's possible to test it). Results are:
- "dxdiag" tool: This tool allows you to test Direct3D 7.0, 8.0 et 9.0 support for your graphic card. Results are OK for Direct3D 7.0 and 8.0 tests. But for Direct3D 9.0 test, all I get is a non-textured cube, and a flickering display. As VMware does not support DirectX 9.0 acceleration, I don't care too much.
- Darkstone (DirectX 6.1): Display flicker, no text visible, but I'm still able to randomly click. I just can't find correct locations to start game.
- Incoming (DirectX 5.2): Blue screen of death (with error message about graphic driver) when I launch the game. At least, it's a quick answer about compatibility question.
- Unreal (DirectX 5.0): I could start a game, but the mouse is unusable, each move is too amplified (about this issue, see bottom). Using 800x600, 16 bits/pixel resolution, it runs smoothly, with some texturing issues sometime. Sound is not perfect.
- Unreal Tournament (DirectX 6.0): I get the same results than Unreal (it's barely the same 3D engine).
As you can read, it's still not perfect. If you want to run Windows games, you should use Boot Camp.
I also have tested the following benchmarks (remember, I use a GMA950 chipset) :
- 3DMark2000 (DirectX 7.0): Error while installing ? It worked better with VMware beta 2 (2082 points).
- 3DMark2001 (DirectX 8.1): With VMware beta 2, it crashed my MacBook. With beta 3, I could go to half of tests, with sometime display glitches, before VMware crashes. At least, it's better than beta 2. With version 1.0, it crashs my MacBook again.
- 3DMark03 (DirectX 9.0a): Does not start as the graphic adapter lacks Pixel Shaders 2.0.
- 3DMark05 (DirectX 9.0c): Does not start as the graphic adapter lacks Pixel Shaders 2.0.
VMware and OpenGL
I also tried an OpenGL game: Quake III Arena. It should not work, because of potential OpenGL acceleration lack, and surprise! there is an avilable OpenGL acceleration. It's an unexpected hidden feature. But the game runs less smoothly than Unreal and Unreal Tournament using 800x600 resolution, as 3D is more exigent, and player moves are weirdly slows. And there too, sound is not perfect at all.
I get the same mouse issue than previous games. See above.
Games and mouse
As written above, I got issues with mouse. in fact, the issue comes from "VMware Toolbox" and VMware's mouse driver. this tool, with mouse driver, allow you to have a transparent mouse use between VMware and Mac OS X. If you uninstall VMware Toolbox and mouse driver, you won't encounter mouse issues with games anymore.
But if you don't plan to use games, You should leave at least mouse driver.

CORE 2.0 Assessment
Each year, the seminar directors will evaluate and assess one of the student learning outcomes (SLOs) in each of the US core offerings. All classes will assess the same SLO each year, starting with our first SLO: "Demonstrate critical thinking abilities." The remaining two outcomes will be assessed in the following years.
|Outcome to Be Assessed
|*Spring 2013
|Demonstrate critical thinking abilities
|Fall 2013
|Demonstrate critical thinking abilities (courses not offered Spring 13)
|Fall 2013
|Prepare and deliver an effective oral presentation
|Fall 2014
|Demonstrate analytical, creative and critical thinking in written communication
* Several courses that fulfill the US core requirement are not offered in the spring. While we will begin the assessment this spring, we will assess the remaining seminars in Fall 2013. We will then move to a fall assessment schedule so all courses can be assessed in the fall semesters.
We will evaluate student work from 5-10% of the students enrolled in each US core offering. Student work will be selected randomly. Directors will review the course syllabus and select appropriate assignments to sample for each SLO. Directors will randomly pick students from multiple sections (when possible) and will collect the student work from instructors. Directors will alternate instructors whose students are selected, and directors will not rely upon, nor favor, any instructors over others.
Directors, current seminar faculty, and several retired faculty graduate students or faculty from other departments will participate in the assessment practice. Evaluators will score student work using a prepared, common rubric for each SLO. Evaluators will not score work from their own course, but from all other courses, with at least 2 directors evaluating work from each seminar. Once all scores have been tabulated the seminar directors will assess the scores and determine if next steps if necessary.
Each course must meet a minimum threshold. 60% of student work from each course should be at the level of "meets expectations."
If a course fails to meet the 60% threshold, the following steps will be taken:
- Assessment of originally selected assignments will be completed by different group of individuals
- Directors will identify another assignment to assess in the same semester.
If either or both of these options fail, representatives of the assessment team will meet with the correlating seminar directors to discuss re-assessment the following semester.
After the assessment is complete, a representative (rotated throughout the seminar directors group) will complete an assessment report and present the report to the Provost. The report will include summary scores and the sample rubric, as well as any information about courses that did not meet the threshold and subsequent steps.

Quantitative Reasoning Assessment Plan
- The student demonstrates the ability to interpret the variables, parameters, and/or other specific information given in the model. The interpretation may contain minor flaws.
- The student uses the model to draw inferences about the situation being modeled in a manner that may contain some minor flaw(s).
- The interpretation(s) and/or inference(s) may be incomplete or inaccurate due to a minor flaw, such as a computational or copying error or mislabeling.
Not acceptable:
- The student makes no appropriate attempt to interpret the variables, parameters, and/or other specific information given in the model due to major conceptual misunderstandings.
- The student either attempts to use the model to make the required inference(s) and/or interpretation(s) but lacks a clear understanding of how to do so, or the student cannot use the model to make the required interpretation(s) or inference(s).
- The student understands most of the important aspects of the mathematical information and employs the appropriate representation(s) to display the mathematical information with possible minor flaws.
- The student correctly and accurately employs most of the appropriate and required aspects of the representation to display the information. The representation may be lacking in a minor way.
- There may be misrepresentations of the information due to a minor computational/copying error. The student uses mostly correct format, mathematical terminology, and/or language.
Not Acceptable:
- The student does not fully understand the important aspects of the mathematical information and employs the appropriate representation(s) to display the mathematical information with major conceptual flaws.
- The student may show some knowledge of how to employ most of the appropriate and required aspects of the representation to display the information, but the representation is lacking in a major way.
- The representations may show some reasonable relation to the information but contain major flaws. The student may use some correct format, mathematical terminology, and/or language, but the representation is incomplete in some major conceptual way.
- The student demonstrates some understanding of the problem and/or can identify specific arithmetic, algebraic, geometric or statistical method(s) needed to solve the problem.
- The student uses the method(s) to solve the problem. The plan for the solution is clear, logical, and evident but may be lacking in a minor way such misreading the problem, or a copying error.
- The solution is generally correct but may contain minor flaws.
Not Acceptable:
- The student demonstrates at best a slight understanding of the problem. The student has difficulty identifying the specific arithmetic, algebraic, geometric or statistical method(s) needed to solve the problem.
- The student may attempt to use a method(s) that will solve the problem, but the method itself or the implementation of it is generally incorrect. The plan is not evident nor logical.
- The solution may contain some correct aspects though there exist major conceptual flaws.
At least half of the students in each Q-core course demonstrate all three of the learning outcomes at an acceptable level.
- For each Q-course and each of the learning outcomes, special problem(s) or question)s) on the final exam will be created, appropriate for evaluation using the above rubrics.
- Several sections of each multi-section course will be randomly selected, and the special problems from those sections will be evaluated by two faculty members. All student finals from single-section courses will be evaluated.
- The two faculty members will review the special problems and, using the rubrics, determine whether each student demonstrates each learning outcome at an acceptable or unacceptable level.
- The percentage of students demonstrating each learning outcome at an acceptable level will be reported to the Department Head, and this information will be archived.
- If the threshold is not met for a particular Q-course, the supervisor and instructors for the course will meet to determine how the course should be improved.
All learning outcomes for seven or eight Q-core courses will be assessed according to the following schedule:
2012 - 2013
- M 133Q, Geometry and Measurement for K-8 Teachers
- M 149Q, Secrets of the Infinite
- M 151Q, Precalculus
- M 161Q, Survey of Calculus
- M 181Q, Honors Calculus I
- STAT 217Q, Intermediate Statistical Concepts
- PHL 236Q, Logic
2013 - 2014
- M 147Q, Language of Mathematics
- M 165Q, Calculus for Technology I
- M 172Q, Calculus II
- M 182Q, Honors Calculus II
- M 273Q, Multivariable Calculus
- M 283Q, Honors Multivariable Calculus
- STAT 201Q, Statistics in the World
2014 - 2015
- M 121Q, College Algebra
- M 145Q, Math for the Liberal Arts
- M 166Q, Calculus for Technology II
- M 171Q, Calculus I
- STAT 216Q, Introduction to Statistics
- STAT 226Q, Honors Introduction to Statistics
- Each course instructor will be required to add a section to his/her course proposal – both for new course proposal and for renewals – that addresses what type of assignment will be used to assess the effectiveness of the course in meeting the stated learning outcomes for Diversity. This might include a specific exam, paper assignment, or, in the case of the language courses, a verbal communication requirement. Sample questions for an exam/paper/other assignment could be as follows:
- Using [insert course and subject specific material], explain the concept of race and how it is culturally constructed. Discuss how this affects modern views and understandings of race in [insert subject specific material]?
- Using [insert course and subject specific material], explain the concept of divinity and how it is culturally constructed. Discuss how these varying understandings affect interactions between societies and religions and how they influence conflict in [insert subject specific material]?
Or, for language classes, a sample assessment assignment might address the following question:
- Does the student's performance on the exam/assignment indicate that he/she understands, reads, speaks, and writes the language at a level appropriate to the term of study?
- For each class, a random sampling of 5-10% the students who write the assignment will be taken for assessment.
- Because of the diverse nature of Diversity, the actual assessment will be carried out by the Department in which the course is offered, as these faculty members, are, by definition, the most qualified to address the subject matter of the course. Each class is already in an assessment rotation schedule established by each Department as part of its own assessment policy for their degree offerings. When a class with a D designation is assessed for the Department, the assessing faculty member (e.g., Japanese language instructor, anthropologist, historian, etc.), who is not the department member actually teaching the class that semester, will also assess the effectiveness of the class for the Diversity learning outcomes.
- To demonstrate that the course has successfully met the proposed learning outcomes, two-thirds of the assessment group (66%) must pass the assignment with a C grade or higher.

Extra security around Christian churches in Iraq
There is extra security around churches and other Christian institutions in Iraq, in response to threats from a militant Islamist group linked to Al-Qaeda.
The group calling itself The Islamic State Of Iraq describes all Christians as "legitimate targets."
It says it was behind Sunday's attack on a Baghdad church which left at least 60 dead.
Explosions across the capital on Tuesday killed another 64 and injured nearly three hundred.

Chinese New Year spirit for all
By Tang Hsiang-yi and Lin Yuting Saturday, January 28, 2012, 7:56 pm TWN
Just before the Lunar New Year, or Chinese New Year (CNY) as many Taiwanese call it, National Immigration Agency (NIA) Director-General Hsieh Li-kung got together with new migrants to share family stories, pray for bountiful seasons to come and cook an "international" reunion meal.
Berrin Köse from Turkey and her daughter Yağmur Köse prepared fragrant "Turkish stuffing rice," which is stir-fried with raisins, chopped onion, parsley, black pepper, red pepper and peppermint before being simmered to al dente.
Christophe Chevance from France, who is spending his second CNY in Taiwan, made French-style crêpes. He sprinkled sugar and drizzled lemon juice over one variety and lathered blueberry jam over another. Last year his in-laws cooked a feast for him and this year he wants to do the same for them!
Also, actor Helen Thanh Dao from Vietnam demonstrated Vietnamese chicken salad; tossing together Taiwanese cabbage, onion, green onion, red pepper, blanched chicken breast, red hot pepper, peanuts and fried red onion before drizzling sweet garlic fish sauce over the mix.
"The dish goes well with pork stew, the main dish in our reunion dinner, because it refreshes after a heavy dish," she explained. Thanh Dao's late father is Taiwanese while her late mother is Vietnamese. Having achieved recognition in Vietnamese television and films, she decided to restart her career in Taiwan after her mother passed away in 2010. She has already made appearances in TV series and in a new film directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien.
Raul Erazo from El Salvador will spend his first CNY in Taiwan, having recently arrived after majoring in Chinese at an U.S. college. Erazo is now a scholarship student at National Chengchi University.
"New Year in El Salvador is similar to [that in] the U.S. We have turkey and cakes. I helped arrange the shrimp today — they taste really good!" said Erazo after presenting a jade and gold shrimp platter. "I will not be able to spend Chinese New Year with my family but I will celebrate it with my friends here," he added.
Li Yan from mainland China introduced the "wishing yuanbao", dumplings lathered in egg batter and fried to resemble the golden ingots used as currency in Imperial China.
Chen Chu-ly from Vietnam showed everyone how to place mung bean fillings within a piece of sticky rice dough and then wrap the whole thing in a banana leaf into a "Precious Rice Dumpling." According to Chen, the dumpling is prepared for New Year's as well as other festivals to symbolize family loyalty. After steaming, the banana leaf wrapping yellows from green into a golden hue.
Moreover, Zheng Jian-xun, a mountain guide who uncannily resembles Legislative Yuan President Wang Jin-pyng, presented "prosperous lion's head (minced pork balls)." Meanwhile, U.S. musician Devon Lafferty presented the "four-treasure cold platter."
Last but not least, Director-General Hsieh chopped herbs and poured the finishing touch of sweet-and-sour sauce over the pan-fried "abundance fish." After thanking everyone, Hsieh remarked that the Taiwanese tradition for CNY is to gather round the dinner table as a family. Today's event, he said, affirms the place of new migrants in our family. Hsieh wishes for Taiwanese society to be one that respects diversity and appreciates differences, just as demonstrated in today's feast.

What is in this article?:
- Steel Foundry Expands Finish Machining
- Multiple-surface, continuous machining
- New machine shop saves time, cuts delivery costs
- Multi-surface continuous machining
- Multi-tasking turning center
- Quality control, beginning to end
The V100 is a multiple-surface, five-axis double-column machine capable of continuous machining without head change, thanks to a spindle head with B and C axes. It achieves high productivity while processing very large workpieces thanks to a spindle head that can operate from the vertical or horizontal positions, and any angle in between.
Harrison Steel Castings Co., in Attica, Ind., is investing in new machining operations to improve its finishing capability. A 29,000-sq.ft. machine shop was added, anchored by two new Mazak machine centers, allowing the steel foundry to finish castings for its present customers and to offer new services to potential ones.
"The new machine shop facility will prove vital to Harrison Steel's continued success," according to Wade Harrison III, v.p. - purchasing/H.R.
"There were many key factors that drove the investment," he explained. "The new facility provides us a competitive tool with which to grow. We are able to offer more economical, high-quality steel castings to our customers. In addition, more space for operations offers more opportunity for future business."
Harrison Steel produces castings in carbon and low- to medium-alloy steel for customers manufacturing agricultural and heavy equipment, energy systems, military applications, and mining and oil-and-gas equipment. It has approximately 750 employees at its plant in western Indiana.
The expansion project was reported to cost $9 million. The first equipment installed there is a Mazak Versatech V100 vertical machine center, supplied by Mazak Corp. and its local agent, Shelton Machinery.
"First and foremost the finish machine shop will allow for a one-stop-shop; a turnkey operation for our customers," stated Geoffrey Curtis, Harrison Steel vice president and general manager.
"The new facility allows us the ability to provide both rough and finish machining in one shop, instead of using an off-site vendor. We have been able to offer this in the past to select customers, but now we have committed the space, equipment and manpower to offer it to everyone. This will save significantly in time and shipping costs," Curtis continued.

LRP1B belongs to the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene family. Additionally we are shipping LRP1B Antibodies (7) and LRP1B Kits (2) and many more products for this protein.
Showing 5 out of 5 products:
LRP1B, BRD2 (show BRD2 Proteins) and CACNA1D (show CACNA1D Proteins) are new candidate genes in fetal metabolic programming of newborns exposed to maternal hyperglycemia.
LRP1B presents with frequent molecular alterations for glioblastoma patients; its deletion may impact patient outcome.
Silencing of LRP1B altered the expression of focal adhesion complex-associated proteins, and Cdc42 (show CDC42 Proteins)/RhoA (show RHOA Proteins) activities.
genetic association studies in Danish population: Quantitative metabolic phenotypes in obesity are associated with SNP in various genes: LRP1B (rs2890652) is associated with body mass index and insulin (show INS Proteins) resistance.
LRP1b shows restricted expression in human tissues and binds to several extracellular ligands, including fibrinogen and apoE (show APOE Proteins)--carrying lipoproteins
Epigenomics and microRNAs inactivate LRP1B, a modulator of the extracellular environment of thyroid cancer cells, and it is deleted in neoplasms.
LRP1B was hypermethylated in four gastric cancer cell lines, and low LRP1B mRNA expression was associated with high methylation levels in gastric cancer cell lines.
results suggest that haplotypes in the gene LRP1B are significant/protective for successful aging without cognitive decline
The LRP1B gene is a candidate tumor suppressor gene in urothelial cancer.
LRP1B can function as a negative regulator of uPAR (show PLAUR Proteins) regeneration and cell migration.
C1q-induced LRP1B and GPR6 proteins expressed early in Alzheimer disease mouse models, are essential for the C1q-mediated protection against amyloid-beta neurotoxicity
Results show that in contrast to LRP1 (show LRP1 Proteins), LRP1b-deficient mice develop normally, most likely due to its restricted expression pattern and functional compensation by LRP1 (show LRP1 Proteins) or other receptors.
both halves of the LRP1B cytoplasmic tail contribute to a unique global conformation, which results in less efficient recognition by endocytic adaptors and a slow endocytosis rate.
This study presents the possibility that LRP1B participates in signal transduction which PICK1 (show PICK1 Proteins) may regulate by inhibiting PKCalpha (show PKCa Proteins) phosphorylation of LRP1B.
LRP1B belongs to the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene family. These receptors play a wide variety of roles in normal cell function and development due to their interactions with multiple ligands (Liu et al., 2001

'The Big C' keeps Laura Linney's career healthy
STAMFORD, Conn. – Peering down from the wall above Laura Linney's dressing room couch on the set of The Big C are a trio of royals: Queens Victoria and Elizabeth II and King Henry VIII.
Linney was missing England, the site of a recent movie shoot, so her assistant posted some familiar British faces.
Those monarchs are keeping good company. Quietly, steadfastly, Linney has achieved a different kind of royalty in her 20-year career. With three nominations notched each for Tonys and Oscars, plus three Emmy and two Golden Globe trophies, Linney has nailed the thespian trifecta of stage and screens big and small.
It's TV that is stoking her talent these days, with her Globe-winning role as Cathy Jamison, the suburban Minneapolis mom with terminal melanoma on Showtime's The Big C, one of those relatively small (Season 2 averaged 2.6 million weekly viewers across platforms) pay-cable shows with big impact. Season 3 premieres Sunday (9:30 p.m. ET/PT).
The Big C (Linney is an executive producer) is a half-hour black comedy that mines tricky terrain as it hits close to the marrow of what cancer patients and their caretakers contend with — to the extreme, its star concedes, what with extramarital affairs and bipolar brothers in the medical mix.
"You scratch the surface, and there ain't nothing conventional about this show — what we're trying to do, what we hope it does," says Linney, 48.
That said, she resists the temptation to label the show "groundbreaking." "It would be complete hubris to be so sort of self-involved to make this (lowers voice) important sort of thing. This is a television show that is attempting to take two different perspectives and put them together, and hopefully be entertaining and at the same time resonate a bit with people about some deeper issues," such as the fragility of life in general, whether cancer is the catalyst or not.
There are other unconventional aspects to the show. The Jamisons' lemon clapboard house comes to life in a former cigar factory in this suburb northeast of New York, far from Hollywood. This season, it's winter in the Midwest, but despite the "cold and long" climate, Linney assures that "there is a renewed sense of energy" throughout the 10-episode arc.
Linney, too, lives well outside her industry, in a house in northwest Connecticut (she rents a nearby apartment for the 10-week, 14- to 18-hour-a-day shoot) with her husband, Marc Schauer, a real estate agent.
"I'm lucky because he gets the appropriate amount of joy out of being a part of this world," she says. "He's far from a sycophant, but he's not jaded. He helps me. He has fresh, sort of delightful eyes that look at all this, and there will be times I'll come home and I'll complain about something, and he will just laugh at me. He will laugh, laugh, laugh."
She also says she's lucky to be able to work at the level she does but outside the swirl of celebrity. "I have sort of the perfect balance of it: well-known enough to be taken seriously by some and too busy to really notice, quite frankly, where I am" amid the firmament of fame. If she were one of those actresses who couldn't smoothly ride the subway in her native New York, "I don't think I'd handle that very well," she says.
Linney has an elegant reserve as she talks, but she grows increasingly animated as she leads a visitor on a tour of the Jamisons' sunny tiled kitchen, past the "Frankenstein trees" that stand in for the real thing and through the shabby house occupied by Cathy's brother, Sean (John Benjamin Hickey). "I love working on this set," she says, standing on the threadbare carpet amid the faded, cabbage-rose wallpaper, in a room that could rightly be described as Victorian.

Christians Accuse Obama of Religious Bigotry
Conservative religious leaders across the nation are accusing the Obama administration of having religious bigotry and moral McCarthyism after evangelical pastor Louie Giglio was reportedly pressured to back out of delivering the benediction at President Obama's inauguration.
Giglio, the pastor of Passion City Church in Georgia, said yesterday he would no longer deliver the prayer after gay rights activists became enraged over a sermon he delivered in the 1990s calling homosexuality a sin — a sermon they considered to be anti-gay.
The White House quickly distanced itself from the evangelical leader – and said his participation would not have reflected their desire to have a diverse inaugural.
"We were not aware of Pastor Giglio's past comments at the time of his selection and they don't reflect our desire to celebrate the strength and diversity of our country at this Inaugural," said Presidential Inaugural Committee spokesperson Addie Whisenant. "As we now work to select someone to deliver the benediction, we will ensure their beliefs reflect this administration's vision of inclusion and acceptance for all Americans," she added.
The New York Times reported that people familiar with internal discussions between administration and committee officials said the White House viewed the selection as a problem for Mr. Obama, and told the panel on Wednesday night to quickly fix it.
The controversy has outraged Christian conservatives like Robert Jeffress, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, Tex.
"It is the ultimate hypocrisy for the Obama administration to pretend it supports diversity and yet denounces anyone who dares to disagree with its radical homosexual agenda," Jeffress told Fox News. "Rev Giglio's comments about homosexuality from more than a decade ago were not hateful but represent the historical teachings of the world's three major religions. Apparently the Obama administration's definition of tolerance is only broad enough to include its own views."
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, told Fox News that he was shocked at the attacks from homosexual activists.
"What's becoming ever so clear to those who thought homosexual activists could be appeased is that their ultimate goal is to sanitize the public space of anyone who holds to a biblical view of morality," Perkins said. "It pulls back the curtain and shows us the true agenda here. It's not about tolerance. It's about forced acceptance."
Albert Mohler, president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, called it "the clearest evidence of the new Moral McCarthyism of our sexually 'tolerant' age."
"An imbroglio is a painful and embarrassing conflict," he wrote on his website. "The imbroglio surrounding Louie Giglio is not only painful, it is revealing. We now see the new Moral McCarthyism in its undisguised and unvarnished reality. If you are a Christian, get ready for the question you will now undoubtedly face: 'Do you now or have you ever believed that homosexuality is a sin?' There is nowhere to hide."
Mohler said it's important to note that Giglio has not been known for taking any stand recently on the issue of homosexuality.
"If a preacher has ever taken a stand on biblical conviction, he risks being exposed decades after the fact," he wrote. "Anyone who teaches at any time, to any degree, that homosexual behavior is a sin is now to be cast out."
"The Presidential Inaugural Committee and the White House have now declared historic, biblical Christianity to be out of bounds, casting it off the inaugural program as an embarrassment," wrote Mohler. "By its newly articulated standard, any preacher who holds to the faith of the church for the last 2,000 years is persona non grata."
Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission questioned President Obama's definition of diversity and inclusion.
The administration's inclusivity only goes so far," Land said. "It's not inclusive of those who disagree with them."
Bryan Fischer, who hosts a popular national show on American Family Radio, said Giglio was banished in a "naked display of bigotry."
"It's clear from the statement from the inaugural committee that Giglio was bounced from the program. It clearly wasn't his idea," Fischer told Fox News. "The banishment of Giglio is a naked display of bigotry and hatred directed at the last safe target in America for angry intolerance: Americans who believe what the Scriptures teach about human sexuality. Truth about homosexuality has now become hate speech, and speaking the truth about homosexuality has now become a hate crime."
Fischer said the bottom line is that "bullies and bigots have won a major victory."
"The inauguration committee says their 'vision' is one of 'inclusion and acceptance for all Americans,'" he said. "Why doesn't somebody ask Pastor Giglio just how "included" and "accepted" he feels right now?"

Moreno's Mexican Restaurant
4328 E. Chapman Ave.
Orange, CA 92869
My wife has encouraging me to check out Moreno's Mexican Restaurant for weeks now. Her description of this place made it sound like an authentic Mexican restaurant with outstanding food. We showed up earlier on a Friday evening so the place was not busy and we were seated right away. The staff was super friendly and the menu had a nice selection to pick from. When my family decided what to eat, my daughter ordered the kids cheese quesadilla, my son ordered the all meat burrito, my wife ordered the chicken enchiladas with green sauce and I ordered the beef machaca. With drinks this meal was about $68.
After the food was ordered it was brought out to out table fairly quick and my daughter enjoyed her quesadilla. Nothing special there nor did I expect much more then she got. It was your basic cheese quesadilla.
My son got the all meat burrito which came with a little bit of all the different meats Moreno's offers. He got the burrito dry with just cheese on top. The burrito was large, full of meat, beans and cheese. I tried a few bites for myself and I found some of the meat to be a bit dry and chewy. The flavors were okay but it kinda of felt like something I could have made at home. My son was not impressed with the burrito and simply said that it was "alright".
When my wife got her plate of food she had to question whether it had green sauce on it or not and even called the waiter whom assured us there was in fact green sauce. I had a hard time finding it and so did my wife, so she ended up getting a side of green sauce. My wife enjoyed her enchiladas saying that her meal was good. I had a small bite of the chicken, maybe not enough to form an opinion but I thought the chicken it self was bland and lacking any kind of flavoring.
As for my beef machaca it was a generous portion and served with four flour tortillas. The beef was tender but very greasy. After eating a few bites of the beef my lips had a slick coating of grease that felt like I had just applied a large dollop of chap stick. Not an appetizing feeling at all, Again the meat was lacking any kind of distinct flavor and simply tasted like shredded beef and eggs. The side of rice though, was moist and cooked well but again lacking any kind of flavor or even any kind of simple seasoning. The beans were creamy and just fine.
I do not like writing negative reviews but I have said from day one if I do not like a restaurant then I will be honest with my readers. Unfortunately Moreno's Mexican Restaurant left me in a limbo kind of state. There was nothing glaringly wrong with the food, expect for my plate of grease but at the same time there was nothing that caught any members of my family's attention. The plating of the food seemed sloppy and the the flavors were just okay. I have had much better food for the cost of this meal and would recommend you find somewhere else to spend your money. Sorry Moreno's.

Help converting 2nd Row Captains to 2nd Row Bench in '03 Escalade.
We are needing/wanting to convert our '03 Escalades 2nd row from Captains to a bench. I have some questions....
#1 Is this possible and if so are the brackets the same for captains to bench?
#2 What years of seat would work in my model?
#3 Would a seat from a Yukon or Tahoe be compatible?
Any tips or pointers would be appreciated!
#2 Any year of the same body style will work
#3 Yes Tahoe or Yukon seats work however they don't have the heat option.
It is also worth noting that the headrest are different in the earlier models. They have a short headrest about the same height as the third row seat and you won't be able to put the newer larger headrests on these seats.
IMPORTANT : You MUST get a seat from a vehicle with the same wheelbase. Due to the location of the rear wheel well, the longer vehicles (ESV, suburban, Yukon XL) have a different frame on the second row seat and will not fit in the shorter vehicles.
Re: Help converting 2nd Row Captains to 2nd Row Bench in '03 Escalade.
Only the escalade has the perforated leather inserts, so if you get a seat from a yukon or tahoe it will not have the exact same appearance. Previous poster also mentioned the heat option being hard to find on tahoes and yukons. I am actually looking to go the other way, I have a escalade bench (grey, heated, perforated) looking to swap for escalade grey captains. IM me if interested.

Lacson to Palace: Sue Grafters Behind Double Appropriation of 'Road to Nowhere'
Lacson unearthed the redundant P200-million infrastructure project in the General Appropriations Act of 2008 during the Development Budget Coordinating Council at the Senate.
"Dapat sa kanila ibitin ng patiwarik (They should be hanged upside-down)," Lacson said referring to those behind the repeat insertion for the construction of the C-5 extension road from the South Luzon Expressway to Sucat in Parañaque.
"Budget Secretary Rolando Andaya Jr. kept harping about Malacañang's adherence to good governance during the hearing, let's see if his words would be translated into action by means of legal action," he added.
During the DBCC hearing, Lacson questioned Andaya on the double appropriation in what he called the "road to nowhere." Andaya could only reply that it was a "congressional insertion."
In 2005, Lacson exposed irregularities in the government's bridges program, where funds went to bridges that were either not completed, or led to "nowhere."
Under the 2008 GAA section on projects for Metro Manila, the Department of Public Works and Highways had an item for the construction of the President Carlos Garcia Avenue Extension from SLEX to Sucat worth P200 million.
On the other hand, the same item appeared in the GAA under "Urgent Infrastructure Including Local Projects,' this time under the item "Construction of C-5 Road Extension from SLEX to Sucat Road," with the same amount appropriated for it.
"President Garcia Avenue Extension and C-5 are one and the same. Who knows what Malacañang will use the extra P200 million for? What we are sure of is that it will end up in the pockets of some Palace official," he said.
Lacson said that even if this were an initiative of Malacañang's allies, the Palace should show its "adherence to good governance" by haling those responsible to court.
"Whether allies or not, Malacañang should initiate legal proceedings against those responsible for the insertion," he said.

On another note this scandal should not be called Road to Nowhere as it does lead to somewhere…..... to the pockets of those realty development owners that stands to gain from the value appreciation of their housing development project and scandalous windfall payment for the right-of-way at the expense of the taxpayers.
Since the realty development firm owners stands to profit the right-of-way should have been donated to the government. The investigation should also cover not just those government officials involved in the double insertion of the budget but the project itself to see if undue political influence and position was used on the project.
Mike Velarde's realty development is one of those firms that will benefit from the project even without the double insertion, maybe he should also be investigated owing to her close relationship with the administration........

FilmWorks Forum: Thomas Chapin - Night Bird Song
Sunday, May 21, 11 AM
Sponsored by The Salisbury School
Produced, Written & Directed by: Stephanie J. Castillo
Destined to be among the great virtuosos of jazz, Thomas Chapin, an alto sax and flute master, was nearing the pinnacle of his meteoric rise when leukemia took him in 1998, at the age of 40. Fame and world recognition eluded him despite the mark he left on jazz n the '80s and '90s, but his passionate life, and incandescent music remain unforgettable to fans who knew him, and musicians who played with him. Today, his music is inspiring a new generation of artists and musicians who have discovered his legacy. This new documentary draws an intimate portrait of this musical explorer who transcended the boundaries of jazz and dissolved the distinctions between sound and music. This film ensures that he will no longer be only a footnote in jazz and his indelible mark will be made.
After the film: Two of the musicians featured - Peter McEachern and Mario Pavone, who both played with Chapin, will lead a community discussion and Q&A with the film's Writer, Producer & Director – Stephanie Castillo.

FilmWorks Forum: The Long Friday
Sunday, June 25, 11 AM
In this FilmWorks Forum presentation you will see an excerpt of a new documentary film by local filmmaker Pamela Hogan, which will be followed by a talk, Q&A and community discussion moderated by Anne Makepeace with Pamela Hogan and two women featured in the film – Gudrun Jonsdottir and Elisabet Gunnarsdottir–joining us live via Skype from Reykjavik.
The Long Friday is the inspiring and little-known story of the women of Iceland who brought their country to its knees in a single day. On a crisp Fall morning in 1975, 90% of Iceland's women walked off the job and out of their homes, refusing to work, cook or take care of the children from noon to midnight. Initially seen as a huge joke by many men, the meticulously planned collective action came to be known as the long Friday – a day that transformed the national narrative about the place of women in society and laid the foundation for Iceland's proud title today as the world's most gender-equal country.
The film will strike a chord with women everywhere whose feminist revolutions remain unfinished. Today, for the eighth year in a row, Iceland ranks #1 on the global gender-equality index – while the U.S. has dropped to a dismal #45. American women are participating in the workforce and heading households in greater numbers than ever before. Yet the gender wage gap amounts to as much as $1 million per woman over the span of a her career; and shockingly the U.S. is the world's only industrialized country that does not guarantee paid parental leave.
Pamela Hogan is an Emmy award-winning filmmaker known for the series Women, War and Peace, and Looks Like Laury, Sounds Like Laury, named one of "The Best TV Shows of 2015" by The New York Times.

Summer Exhibition - Harper Blanchet: Abstract Paintings
July 1 – October 4, 2017
Opening Reception: Saturday, July 8 – 4:30 – 6:30 pm
Harper Blanchet is a visual artist, painter, photographer and poet/writer who lives and works out of his studios in Falls Village, Connecticut and Phoenicia, New York. Harper rarely shows his work publicly, preferring to sell quietly to private buyers and collectors, so The Moviehouse is delighted to be able to showcase his extraordinary work this Summer. His influences include composition, content, form, shape, space/spacing, the edge, line, light and shadow and objects in relationship to each other. Another giant influence are doors and windows – passing from one space to another, either visually or physically, or both.
Exhibition on Screen: Michaelangelo, Love and Death
Sunday, July 9, 6PM
Directed by David Bickerstaff.
The spectacular sculptures and paintings of Michelangelo seem so familiar to us, but what do we really know about this renaissance genius? Who was this ambitious and passionate man?
A virtuoso craftsman, Michelangelo's artistry is evident in everything he touched. Beautiful and diverse works such as the towering statue of David, the deeply moving Pietà in the Papal Basilica of St. Peter and his tour-de-force, the Sistine Chapel ceiling still leave us breathless today.
Spanning his 89 years, Michelangelo – Love and Death, takes a cinematic journey from the print and drawing rooms of Europe, through the great chapels and museums of Florence, Rome and the Vatican to explore the tempestuous life of Michelangelo. We go in search of a greater understanding of this most charismatic figure, his relationship with his contemporaries and his valuable artistic legacy. Through expert commentary and Michelangelo's own words, this film takes a fresh look at an enigmatic man whose life is celebrated in every mark and every stroke he made.
A giant artistic force and universally loved, discover why Michelangelo is without a doubt one of the greatest artists of the Renaissance – and perhaps of all time.

Directed by: Susan Froemke and John Hoffman
Co-Directed and Produced by: Beth Aala
Produced by: Susan Froemke and Miriam Horn
Narrated by: Tom Brokaw
Based on the book by Miriam Horn (forthcoming from W.W. Norton in September of this year).
From America's heartland come four unexpected warriors for a hidden but far-reaching conservation movement: a Montana rancher, two Kansas farmers, and a Louisiana fisherman. With a passion for the terrain that defines their identity, each has bridged long-standing divides—between rural communities and outside experts, people that work the land and federal bureaucrats— to preserve the landscapes that sustain their livelihoods. Discovery's RANCHER, FARMER, FISHERMAN, shines a light on this unheralded movement and offers inspiring solutions to the challenges confronting America's wild land and wildlife, fisheries and croplands.
RANCHER, FARMER, FISHERMAN weaves together the stories of four unlikely conservation heroes working in America's heartland. At a moment when it seems that collaboration is not just nonexistent but impossible, these working families cross political boundaries to arrive at real solutions for protecting the land and sea that define our country – and are crucial to all of our survival.
Following the screening, Director John Hoffman will lead a panel discussion and Q&A. Check back soon for the full line-up.

Midwest Regional Director to teach Wisconsin economics teachers and professors about the national debt and deficits, possible solutions to use for discussion, and the many tools available from The Cocnord Coalition for their use in the classroom.
The Concord Coalition believes that only with an engaged, informed and demanding public can the nation's fiscal challenges be met. The Concord Coalition's mission is to cut through the usual partisan rhetoric and stimulate a more realistic public dialogue on what we want our nation's future to look like, along with the required trade-offs. We believe that elected leaders in Washington know there is a problem, but they are unlikely to act unless forced to by their constituents.

The consists of the product line of Pneumatic Transmitters and Indicating or Recording Controllers. All ITT Barton 274A, 335A, 335P, 335T and 338E models are designed to meet the most stringent and demanding requirements for Oil & Gas Production, U.S. Navy Shipboard, and Process Plant applications.The heart of the DP-driven instruments is the rugged ITT Barton Differential Pressure Unit (DPU) – featuring a time-proven liquid-filled bellows and torque tube design. Recordingand Controlling models are also available with Pressure or Temperature actuators.Pneumatic Transmitters (Standard DP and Linear-with-Flow)• Models 274A - DP Transmitters• Actuated by Barton's M199• Rugged, Weatherproof, Non-corrosive Case• Continuous Purging (pilot valve and nozzle exhaust inside)• Operation Span Continuously Adjustable (100 - 20%)• Adjustable Suppression (up to 80% of range)• Large Valve Relays (no need for secondary booster)• Span Continuously Adjustable (down to 20% of range)• Air Consumption (at balance condition) 0.05 scfm max.Actuating Units:Barton® Pneumatic Transmitters are actuated by the M199Differential Pressure Unit (DPU) which is also available in aNACE certified version.Cases:Barton® Pneumatic Transmitters are housed in a rugged, weatherproof case especially suited for use in corrosive fume environments. Since the pilot valve and nozzle exhaustinside the case, continuous purging is achieved.Transmitting Unit:Changes in DP are transmitted mechanically to the flapper, which covers a small constant-feed nozzle. Any change in the position of the flapper will instantly change the nozzle pressure, which in turn controls the action of the 2-valve balanced relay to increase or decrease the output air pressure. A calibrated bellows assembly actuated by the output pressure serves to reposition the flapper mechanism and restore a state of equilibrium - in this manner, output air pressure varies in direct relation to the differential pressure applied to the instrument, or in direct proportion to the flow-rate. The relay is not affected by changes in output pressure and this makes it possible to maintain practically constant nozzle pressure at any output pressure.Operating Span/Suppression (Linear-with-DP units only)The operating span is continuously adjustable from 100- 20% of the DP range. Thus a unit with a differential pressure range of 0-100" w.c. can be adjusted to provide a 3-15 PSI (207 mbar-1 bar) output signal (direct or reverse) for any span from 0-20" w.c. to 0-100" w.c. (0-50 mbar to 0-248 mbar) range. The operating span can be shifted anywhere within the range of the differential pressure unit
