'Man of Steel' Featurettes Show Us Just How Super Superman Really Is
How many superpowers does Superman have? So many that you could create an entire series of 'Man of Steel' featurettes on the subject and not even begin to get to the bottom of it. Three new videos have arrived online, each highlighting one of the character's powers and showing off a bunch of new footage in the process.
New 'Man of Steel' TV Spot: Superman Must Make a Choice
Although the recent glut of posters for 'Man of Steel' have been less than satisfying, the same can't be said for each and every trailer and TV spot, which make the new Superman movie look like the blockbuster to beat this summer. The newest spot doesn't change the pattern -- this movie looks fantastic.
New 'Man of Steel' Poster: It's a Bird! It's a Plane!
The last time a new 'Man of Steel' poster arrived, we made a joke about how a new one-sheet for the upcoming Superman film seems to arrive every day. Well, we've reached the point where that's stopped being a joke and has started becoming a reality. Thankfully, the new poster is probably the best one yet.
Seth Meyers Will Replace Jimmy Fallon as the Host of 'Late Night'
It's been a rumor fo some time, but now it's official: Seth Meyers will replace Jimmy Fallon as the host of NBC's 'Late Night' next year.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Iron Man 3′ and 'The Greaty Gatsby' Divide and Conquer
No one expected 'The Great Gatsby' to take number one at the box office over 'Iron Man 3' this weekend, but it did the next best thing: it opened huge at number two. There is no shame in this silver medal.
SNL: Kristen Wiig Returns to "The Californians"
Is there a recurring SNL sketch more divisive than "The Californians"? For everyone who loves it, there is someone else who thinks it's one of the worst things to ever happen to the show. The latest edition won't change any minds, but the return of Kristen Wiig does make it a little more special than the past couple of times they've trotted it out.
Is This the Bloodiest SNL Sketch Ever?
Although SNL is known for frequently pushing the boundaries of good taste, it tends to favor comedy of the sexual and political nature above anything else. That's why a certain sketch on last night's Kristen Wiig-hosted episode proved to be a massive shock -- it's not every day that the longrunning comedy variety show gets violent.
SNL: Garth and Kat Return!
The return of Kristen Wiig to the SNL stage meant the resurrection of several great characters, including the Target Lady, her role on The Californians and, of course, Kat of "Garth and Kat" fame. The world's worst musical duo made an appearance on Weekend Update and it was as funny as it has ever been.
SNL Wishes You a Happy Mother's Day With 1-800 Flowers
Since it's produced so quickly, SNL will never not take advantage of any holiday that arrives near its air date. That meant that last night's episode saw a handful of mom-themed sketches in honor of Mother's Day! The first of them was a great fake commercial for a flower delivery service starring the terrific Kristen Wiig. Check it out below.
SNL Brings Back Kristen Wiig's "Target Lady"
The great Kristen Wiig returned to host SNL this week, giving the show an opportunity to resurrect all of the characters that vanished from show since her departure a year ago. Although many great characters came back, none were quite as exciting as the return of Target Lady, one of the most popular characters in all of modern SNL.
New 'Man of Steel' Poster Has Superman Flying High
How many 'Man of Steel' posters have arrived in the past week? Three? Four? Fifteen? Well, it's another day, so here's another poster for the upcoming superhero blockbuster! Check it out below.
'Amazing Spider-Man 2′ – First Look at Paul Giamatti as The Rhino
Much of the plot of 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' has been kept tightly under wraps, but we do know that the film will feature three iconic Spidey villains. We've seen photos of Jamie Foxx's Electro, we know that Chris Cooper has been cast as Norman "The Green Goblin" Osborn and now, we have our first look at Paul Giamatti as Aleksei Sytsevich, AKA, The Rhino!

Learn the Solutions to Your Top Strategy Challenges with Robert Simons, SEVEN STRATEGY QUESTIONS
Tune in to beyond-the-scope-of-the-book interviews with Nathan Ives, MBA, PMP on the StrategyDriven Podcast. In this interview, Nathan consults with Robert Simons on why asking the right questions is vital to a strategy's effective execution.
"Successful business strategy lies not in having all the right answers, but rather in asking the right questions," says Harvard Business School professor Robert Simons. "Business leaders can't develop and execute effective strategy without first gathering the right information."
Nathan only selects titles that meet a stringent set of StrategyDriven requirements. First, the title must be aligned with the StrategyDriven mission of delivering best practice solutions to small- and medium-sized businesses, including strategic planning, decision making, leadership, management, and organizational performance. Secondly, the authors must be highly respected in their field of study.
StrategyDriven author interviews are uniquely different than the average book review. The primary difference, these podcasts are not simply book reviews or summaries. Nathan reads each book prior to the interview and questions the author for a deeper understanding of the important strategies discussed in the book and probes for examples of real-world implementation of those strategies. As a result, listeners get more information, including, author advice not contained within the book; offering additional value listeners can incorporate into their business model. Additionally, StrategyDriven interview articles contain quick links to supplementary materials provided by the author.

Hot on the heels of Vodafone announcing that it will get the network exclusive on the Blackberry Torch, T-Mobile has revealed that it is offering the Blackberry Pearl 3G on a pay-as-you-go basis.
OK, it's not quite as exciting as the Torch, but it does mark a growing democratisation of smartphone technology, as for the most part, high-end, or even medium-end smartphones, have only been available on lengthy and expensive monthly contracts.
The Pearl 3G is most suitable for the PAYG treatment as it's the first Blackberry to feature a standard numerical keypad, rather than a normal QWERTY, which we expect would only confuse the great T-Mobile PAYG unwashed. That said, for serious email use it's a bit of a damp squib, but there you go.
The phone also offers a 3.2 megapixel camera, Facebook and Twitter widgets and will sync with Windows Media Player or iTunes.
"Making the BlackBerry Pearl 3G available to our customers on a pay-as-you-go tariff is part of T-Mobile's mission to bring more affordable, top end smartphones to the wider market," said Nicola Shenton, head of device marketing at T-Mobile in a statement. "BlackBerrys are no longer just for business use. More and more of our customers are asking for them, and by offering the handsets on a pay-as-you-go tariff, we're making it more accessible."
The phone will cost £249.99 on T-Mobile PAYG, and those who sign on the dotted line will get six months free email and internet (1GB fair usage cap), as long as they do so before 31 August and buy £20 worth of top-up.

Added Value a Key in Sleep Pillow Category
November 23, 2009,
While consumers are still price-sensitive, and performance is still an important factor in sleep pillow sales, the concept of value outstrips everything, suppliers told HTT.
Added Lonie Scheps, Hudson Industries, "A value statement is important to induce the customer to 'give it a try.'"
Buying a pillow is "an inertia event," said Jack Ouellette, president and ceo, American Textile Company. Unprompted, the consumer is likely to buy the same thing they did the last time they shopped for a pillow.
But price remains a factor.
"Given the economic change over the past 12 to 18 months, we certainly see that price has a greater influence is purchasing decisions than before," said Mandy Talbert, corporate communications manager, Louisville Bedding. "However, our research shows that solutions-based products are typically a destination purchase, and when the consumer is seeking a specific solution she is willing to pay a few more dollars for it."
Carpenter Company is seeing interest in "ergonomic constructions that support the cervical spine and put in a neutral position," according to Dan Schecter, vp of the Consumer Products Division. "These shapes are often different looking than ordinary bed pillows but are unmatched in comfort."
Providing consumers with information is key, suppliers said. Carpenter is adding more consumer-driven information to its Sleep Better Shops. American Textile is expanding its Sleep Profile program. Louisville Bedding has relaunched its Mattress Makeover program.
Suppliers are also being challenged to provide more information at the same time many said packaging is getting more stripped down.
"We have literally seconds to communicate our message and have her put it in her shopping cart," said Tablert. "Clean, easy-to-read packaging with icon messaging is fantastic. I now get the phrase 'a picture is worth a thousand words' – and a thousand words are meaningless."
Carpenter is exploring holographic material using transparent inks, said Schecter. "This is an amazing technology that makes the product stand out on the shelf."

This is a discussion on Hidden in plain sight.... within the Open Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Originally Posted by bigmacque ... Wondering if there were any other reasons folks looked at this woman and didn't notice the gun around her waist? ...
I mean, yeah, I'm sure for the most part people don't notice. But it only takes one, like the story on another thread by a guy who had the cops called on him when OC'ing in a Kinko's. He got taken outside and bent over the hood, so it's really a matter of how much risk you want to take. Oh, and it's legal in NC (where the guy lives) to OC unless somebody complains and then you can be asked to leave the area. I'm not sure the responding LEO really knew that. And that's a big part of the problem. Do your locals even know the law? Not worth it to me.
Bottom line, I think, is that for any activity, there are ways of behaving that will invite scrutiny and ways that will avoid scrutiny. For example, if you are dressed in all camo and moving "tactically" from one store aisle to the next, darn skippy people will notice you OCing, because you've attracted their attention (and justifiably so) as being out of the norm. Wearing an "I HAVE A GUN" T-shirt would likely also get people to study you more closely. On the other hand, behaving casually and dressing "normally" will allow you to blend into the background--you're just another unremarkable guy (or gal) and so people won't "check you out" closely. Unless you're hot.

In your above quote you stated.. "I didn't say that nobody noticed..", but in your original post you did say, ie: "Unless you make an effort to be noticed, you probably won't be."
Looking at your above original statement as written, one is able to easily interpret and come to the conclusion (as I did), that you were saying a OC'd firearm wouldn't be noticed by most of the public unless brought to their attention via some act, display or action to do so.
My original post wasn't written to disparage you, but rather to point out unless one gets some type of "Visibly Reaction" to their OC'ing, one doesn't know whether the firearm has been seen.. or not.

I have to admit that the kind of person who was OCing would dictate whether I make a glance or watch the person.
Someone who is decently dressed would not really get my attention. Especially a woman who accessorized with her outfit. I might look to admire the outfit. It's a "girl", fashion thing.
If someone is tattooed all over, neck and head, with piercings all over, holes in the ears and dressed like a dirt bag would get my attention and I would watch them. I know, I would be profiling but that is my measurement of alert.
I still wouldn't bring it to anyone's attention. How they act is more important to me.

Not a good idea to frighten your fellow employees....why didn't you just wait till the lady left and then say that lady was packing a gun on her side.
LOL.....I was a campus police officer in the mid 80's and I carried a stainless S&W .357. We wore the same uniform as the LAPD style. Pretty typical uniform for all police officers. A student I was talking said in a surprised tone, "You guys carry guns?!"
Really? You didn't see the Hogue combat grips and the shiny pistol on my hip? People do not notice other people because they live in their own little bubble. That's why they all say"The guy came out of no where" when they are victimized. No situational awareness.

Pretty much the same experience I've had when OC. And with me, I don't try to camouflage the gun. I've worn my G23 in my SERPA holster on a brown belt worn on tan pants and a white shirt. The gun/holster sticks out, it does not blend in. And I've still gotten the same reactions.

Contributed by a Concerned Citizen
Christian! What about our Moral Values? I get incredibly frustrated at the fact that some Christians are supporting presidential nominee, Barrack Hussein Obama. The guy can give a great speech, but what have his actions been? He votes "Present" on important issues rather than Yes or No. That should give us a clue. He has not exhibited "true" leadership as he shifts blame rather than takes responsibility. True leadership accepts responsibility. However, even more so than that, he supports abortion and gay "marriage!"
As a Christian, my responsibility is to align myself with God's word. What He says should be my first and final authority. So how can I be in support of a candidate who is clearly for the things I as a Christian should not be? People say, well, our economy is bad and he's the change America needs. OK...if that's the case, tell me what change the man is responsible for? What? You say he's waiting to get in the White House before he makes changes! Are you kidding me? So as a Christian your saying you're going to vote for him because he's promised us change and our economy needs serious help?
Have you forgotten that our economy is not God's economy? Does God not promise to supply all of our needs? Does He not say that we are His personal concern? Tell me where in the Bible it says it's all right to murder, especially a child! Tell me where in the Bible that God endorses homosexual marriage?
Christian...trusting in God as your provider through economic hardship is what faith is! Is your faith so little that you place your trust in a man of eloquent speech that defies the very heart of God on these issues?
The Bible says "how can two walk together unless they are in agreement." How can you walk closely and intimately with God and be in utter compromise of His word?
Can someone explain this to me?
Thanks to Tammy L. Dahl for this submittal.

It's kind of funny when I review our coverage of the Fiscal Wakeup Tour's local stop. In a guest column, Harry Zeeve of the bipartisan Concord Coalition, which sponsored the tour, wrote, "Our elected leaders in Washington are currently debating budget plans amid a new consensus that balancing the budget by 2012 is an important policy goal and that long-term fiscal policy is unsustainable."
Perhaps it's sad, given the amount of money spent by and lack of budget passed by our federal leaders the past couple of years.

Love the steaks. Great service. Beautiful atmosphere
best place in medicine hat go there for lunch try the beef neptune 5 star
in response to: Our usual - 16 oz T - bone steak and baby back ribs .... the best ever ! ...
This is the Best Place In Medicine Hat to Have a STEAK...Keep it up Nick the steaks are superb!
Colin Grant
not what it used to be. I expected meal on par with the Keg or Edmonton's Sawmill. I did not expect the quailty of a Chicago Shop House. Morton's or Ruth's Chris.
It was more like a good pub food. Not bad by any means but a $20-25 plate not a $30 -35 as they charge.
They also have a very conservitive wine list, fairly priced buy short.
The beefeater is our favorite spot in the Hat.I just made a reservation 600 pm
They don't have real bacon bits! How crazy is that for a 30$ steak!
Our usual - 16 oz T-bone steak and baby back ribs....the best ever!
The food is good, but you are paying the price too. Paying a buck for the salad bar seems to be a lame money grab .. and where the hell did the garlic toast go .. come on little man give the people back what they want and stop just counting the cash that your making. Remember who made you what you are today, and stop being so chinsey
You cannot truly enjoy great steak until you've eaten at The Beefeater!!!
mike & scott from ontario,travel all across canada on the railway and have had many steaks, from many houses, but nothings better then the fillet.....and these boys go for the best cuts of meat. giver a try...and a pepper corn sauce to die for...
My family has been eating here for ever, what a wondewrful place to enjoy great food and friends.
Great Steak!
One of my favorites in Medicine Hat!
By far the best place in Alberta to get truly great tasting beef. All other featured items are of outstanding taste. Prices are resonable . To pay l.00 for salad bar is nothing to think of. Service is excellent Staff and Mangement are friebdly including the LITTLE MANAGER Only suggestion would be to add back the Great Garlic toast to all meals instead of regular bread as in previous years
Fantastic food, great service - mistakes are corrected promptly.
Best steaks in town by far, excellent staff and management, seems like its a better atmosphere now that the little manager is gone,all he did any way was smoke and drink whiskey at the bar any way. Everyone seems happier now. I dont even think he knew how to do anything.
This restaurant has a great family atmoshere with excellent food. Yeah, the prices might seem a little high, but you get what you pay for...food is excellent, service is great, ad all around an excellent experience...so well worth it all. Personally, I think it is the best beef you can get in Alberta and I would never go any were else when I want a great meal. I go there all the time and will continue to go.
Excellent food, excellent service, excellent atmoshere, excellent everything....love it!
The only good steak house in this city. Great service, great staff. Great food for the price you pay.
i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best steakhouse in Medicine Hat by far.... Great staff.. best food...
atmosphere.... wouldnt go anywhere else for the best alberta beef
Over-rated eating establishment living on reputation of former glory. Absurdly overpriced. Rude staff, imitation potato mixed into the stuffed potatoes making them tase ghastly, walls in the steak cooking area running with grease, and to charge an extra dolar for a lousy salad bar after being hosed for the main course adds insult..my advice..go to Ralphs, better everything.
Exceptional food great service.

January 30, 2006 By Jim McKay, Justice and Public Safety Editor
To construct a new building or move into a newer one would cost money the department didn't have, so the grocery store became the department's new home. Officers soon discovered a problem: The building's roof was largely renovated with 2-inch steel, which made communicating via handheld radios on the 800 MHz radio system less than stellar.
"Big, giant steel roofs and handheld radios don't mix. The signal is dead,"said Capt. Byron Lake of the Flower Mound Police Department.
The police department explored various options, including mounting an internal antenna to bypass the steel roof. But any option would have been too expensive, like the $200,000 it would have cost for that internal antenna. The police department turned to the Flower Mound Department of Information Services, and its director, Dustin Malcom, for help.
"We began looking at a way to, instead of having them using their handhelds while they're in the station, use their computers to listen and respond to calls while inside the station," Malcom said.
Successful Experiment
Two years of experimentation and tweaking voice-conferencing software resulted in a solution that bypasses the radios, and allows officers to monitor radio and TV transmissions through a computer. "Essentially we are voice conferencing with different analog radio devices," Malcom said. "Ordinarily you'd voice conference with a person, but we've altered the way the voice-conference software works and the way the analog system works, and made it so that you actually conference with a radio, TV or handheld radio -- or anything that's an analog audio signal."
This means the 67 officers on the force can listen to everything that goes out over the 800 MHz radio system and respond to calls from dispatch by listening to the computer. They can also tap into CNN, MSNBC or the local television station, TXCN.
"If we have a regional or national incident, they can have constant radio feeds to their computer no matter where they are, so they don't have to go to a TV, they don't have to go to a radio, it's already coming over their computer," Malcom said. "You may have one officer listening to TXCN or another officer listening to CNN."
And Lake said officers don't lose connectivity with what's going on. "Any officer can be sitting at a station in the building, working on reports and whatever they're doing, and picking (the signal) up off their computers," he said. "I can be sitting at home, pull up my laptop, click on and monitor all the radio traffic off my computer."
Malcom began the process by simply finding a way to use handhelds effectively in the station, but began to uncover other possibilities along the way. "Once we figured out how to do that, it opened up all the doors we didn't realize we were about to open, with the ability to actually conference a variety of different radio sources -- either national or local."
The project is still in testing, and it will be a long time before that phase is finished. Once it is, however, Malcom envisions a system whereby officers can listen to radio reports from a variety of sources, and also communicate with one another via the computer.

April 22, 2013
LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- Former University of Michigan wrestling standout Kellen Russell used a third-period clinch to rally past Oklahoma State's Jordan Oliver, 0-1, 2-2, 1-0, and capture the 66kg/145.5-pound title at the U.S. Open (April 18-20) at the Las Vegas Convention Center. It was the second freestyle championship for Russell but first in domestic competition. He entered the tournament unseeded.
After dropping the first period in the clinch, Russell claimed the final two periods to defeat Oliver in the championship match. He struck first on a quick pushout in the second frame but trailed by a point late after giving up an appreciation point on an Oliver throw attempt from a single-leg position on the mat and losing the subsequent challenge. He attacked on the restart, however, stealing the period with a pushout in the final 14 seconds. After just running out of time on a go behind at the buzzer, Russell pulled his color and converted in the clinch, returning Oliver hard to the mat to secure the takedown.
With the victory, Russell earned the automatic bid to the best-of-three championship series at the U.S. World Team Trials, scheduled for Friday-Saturday, June 21-22, in Stillwater, Okla.
Russell posted a 7-0 record en route to the title, outscoring his opposition in Thursday's challenge tournament, 36-2, before knocking off three seeded wrestlers in Friday's championship bracket. He opened the day with a second-period fall against No. 2-seeded Chase Pami. He dropped the first period, 2-1, but was leading 5-1 in the second after an early three-point takedown and gut wrench when he reversed Pami to his back for the pin at 1:02.
He cruised past Kyle Borshoff, 3-0, 7-0, in the quarterfinals before defeating third-seeded Adam Hall, 3-0, 5-2, on a combination of takedowns and pushouts in the semifinals. He scored on a go behind and a pair of pushouts in the first and two takedowns, including a counter off an early Hall headlock attempt, and two pushouts in the second.
The FILA Junior division featured three incoming Wolverines.
Ben Whitford captured freestyle outstanding wrestler accolades after posting a 6-0 record en route to the 60kg/132-pound title. He defeated four notable collegiate wrestlers, including Penn State Jimmy Gulibon, 3-1, 0-3, 4-2, in the championship match. He sealed the finals victory with a three-point takedown midway through the third period, defending a single-leg attack by tossing Gulibon to his back and adding an immediate pushout for another point.
Adam Coon reached the 120kg/264-pound championship match in both styles, capturing the Greco-Roman title while taking runner-up honors in the freestyle competition. He posted a 3-0 mark in the latter, earning a pair of pins before claiming a 4-2, 1-0 decision over former Ohio State wrestler Orry Elor in the final. He had a similar start in the freestyle division, opening the tournament with three straight pins, including a 14-second fall in the quarterfinals, before claiming 4-1, 4-1 decision over Oklahoma's Ross Larson in the semifinals. He dropped a 4-1, 4-0 decision in the championship match after giving up a three-point deficit early in each period.
Payne Hayden posted a 2-1 record en route to second place in the 84kg/185-pound Greco-Roman division, rallying to win each of his preliminary matches before falling to Indiana's Luke Sheridan, 3-0, 5-0, in the championship match. Hayden went 1-2 in the freestyle competition.

My sissy girl lily thought that she could handle a nice, big, black cock. She begged me and begged me to let her play with one. Finally, when I decided that she was ready for it, I invited my friend Jerome over. Jerome has a huge, 11 inch cock that is thicker than my wrist. I called sissy lily, telling her to come to my house, and said that she had to clean today – wearing her pretty little maid outfit. (If only she knew what she'd be cleaning, and how…) "Now don't forget the feather duster, sweetheart" I cooed. "Yes Miss Zia…" she whispered shyly.
When she finally arrived, she came into the living-room wearing her cute, black thigh highs and short little maidy dress. She went to the shelf to pick up the duster when she noticed it wasn't there. "Miss Zia the…" she started, then saw Jerome standing in the bedroom door-way, the feather duster in one hand, handle facing her, and his massive, hard bbc in the other.
"Which do you want, my sweet sissy? The duster, or the big, black cock?" I grinned.

I love this mousse. I run it through my hair when damp then let it air dry. My hair dries having a very soft and natural feel. most mousse's turn my hair into straw, make it hard and it's super flat afterwards. This gives me volume that looks natural and very light. A can lasts me a really long time and shoppers often does a sale of 3 dollars off.

The French trial of a retired German doctor accused of killing his stepdaughter has been suspended indefinitely after he was taken to hospital with heart problems.
Dieter Krombach, a cardiologist, was kidnapped in Germany and brought to France on the orders of the victim's French father.
His trial was due to last two weeks but was suspended after four days. The court said two court-appointed doctors had determined Krombach, 75, needed two weeks of rest. It was unclear when proceedings would resume.
Krombach, who has denied any wrongdoing, lived in freedom in Germany for years after the 1982 death of 15-year-old Kalinka Bamberski.

Move over, Kate and Naomi. Step aside Christy and Linda. Not since the supers refused to get out of bed for less than $10,000 has a duo dominated the model set. Wherever Cara Delevingne is, you can be assured Jourdan Dunn is never far behind. And as from this season, that seems to be true of the catwalk too. As Delevingne has been busy clocking up more shows on the fashion week schedule than we've had hot dinners, Dunn has followed in her wake at almost every opportunity.
From Topshop Unique to Peter Pilotto, the twosome (above) have cropped up at the same shows on more than one occasion — often appearing one after the other.
And the model BFFs are certainly not shy about telling the world of their blossoming femship. From high-fiving as they passed one another at the finale of Issa to holding hands on the front row of Rihanna's debut show for River Island, the pair have been joined firmly at the hip throughout the past four days.
Of course — as their Instagram feeds will tell you — theirs is a friendship for life, not just for fashion week.

text: So there it is. Coach Brown is again a nationless leader. A Napolean frittering about in a dinghy looking for a soft sand landing..Zeke is back in the saddle and our best buddy David Stern is left to clean-up the mess. Let the rumors, the opinions, the Saunders Vs Brown all wash up in here. I like Coach Brown. I think we would've won it with Brown prowling the sidelines. But his transgressions in D-town weiged more mightly than the strength of his courtside manuverings, hence he spends a year battling Stephen Marbury in the big if somewhat rotten Apple. And we are left to see what the massacre in Miami does to the Pistons and Big Ben. I will live with Joe D's decision on Saunders because I have no choice. Hopefully he takes the Coach into the woodshed over his staccato deployment of the rosters playoff minutes and we come out the better for it. But there are those in the shadows that will call for the comeback of Brown and I with small reservation will lurk in their ranks... June 22, 2006 Knicks Fire Brown, Refusing to Pay Out Contract By HOWARD BECK GREENBURGH, N.Y., June 22 — Larry Brown was fired by the Knicks this morning after just one, surprisingly tumultuous season as their head coach. And the team indicated that it did not plan to pay him the more than $40 million left on his contract. Isiah Thomas, the team's president and general manager, was immediately named as Brown's replacement. James L. Dolan, the chairman of Madison Square Garden, made the decision just before 10 a.m., after a one-hour meeting with Brown, Thomas and Steve Mills, the Garden president. The decision ends a strange and protracted drama that began in mid-April, when the Knicks concluded their first season under Brown with a 23-59 record, their worst in two decades. It ranked among the worst seasons in Brown's Hall-of-Fame career. Yet Dolan's disenchantment went far beyond the poor results on the court, and he ultimately fired Brown for a number of other transgressions. The Knicks, contending that Brown violated several provisions of his contract, fired him "for cause," and thus do not intend to pay him the balance of his contract, in excess of $40 million. Under terms of Brown's contract, a five-year deal, he can appeal the team's decision to withhold his pay. Commissioner David Stern will ultimately decide the issue. The Knicks hired Brown, with considerable fanfare and optimism, last July. Although they kept expectations modest, team officials figured that Brown, who has won both an N.C.A.A. and N.B.A. championship, would reverse a half decade of failure. Instead, Brown exacerbated the franchise's misery, losing games by the dozen, alienating his players and engaging in a public war of words with Stephon Marbury, the team's star point guard. Dolan wanted specific assurances from Brown that he would change his behavior, both publicly and privately. When Brown wavered, Dolan decided to fire him. Neither Brown nor any team officials were available for comment. Dolan and Thomas issued a statement expressing their frustration. "Larry has had a long and storied career," Dolan said in the statement. "We hired him last summer with the expectation that he would be with the Knicks for a long time. Sometimes, decisions work and sometimes they don't. After careful consideration, despite the best intentions from everyone involved, this current structure did not work for us last season and I did not think it was going to improve next season. I have great personal admiration for Larry, but have concluded that it is best for our franchise if we make this change." Thomas, who assembled the Knicks' unwieldy roster over the last two and a half years, becomes the Knicks' fifth coach since January 2004. He previously coached the Indiana Pacers from 2000-03, compiling a 131-115 record."

Permit me to thank you for your several favors. I am particularly obliged by the enclosure of papers, & the communication of intelligence. I have been deterred from soliciting such communications, by the consideration that your correspondents must be numerous, & your time engrossed by the various objects of a legislative, social & family nature.
We have just heard, that it is determined in Congress not to take the State debts - people seem almost ripe for a national division of North and South. Perhaps it may be premature.

Want to Be Creative? Try Getting Bored
When Manoush Zomorodi was eight years old, she walked around her house gathering up all the houseplants. She arranged them in rows, gave them all name tags, and then performed a concert for their benefit. Why? Because she was bored. But Zomorodi — host of WNYC's podcast New Tech City — says her kids will never do anything so charmingly pointless, because old-fashioned boredom is a thing of the past, for fidgety kids as well as their parents. "When I'm on the subway, I look at my phone," she tells Kurt Andersen. "When I walk down the street, I look at my phone. Is that bad? Is there a consequence to not having that time when you are literally getting bored?"
A growing body of research suggests that there is. Neuroscientists have seen fMRI evidence of organized, spontaneous thinking when the brain is supposedly idle. "When you're given nothing to do, it certainly seems like your thoughts don't stop," says Jonny Smallwood, professor of neuroscience at the University of York. "[You] continue to generate thought even when there's nothing for you to do with the thought."
Work by Sandi Mann of the University of Lancashire suggests that time for aimless thought could be important for creativity. In a study called "Does Being Bored Make Us More Creative?" she gave research subjects tasks of varying degrees of boringness, and then used a standard measure of divergent thinking involving plastic cups. Those given the most boring task — reading the phone book — came up with more interesting uses for the cups. "You come up with really great stuff when you don't have that easy, lazy, junk food diet of the phone to scroll all the time," she tells Zomorodi.
While there's no conclusive proof that phones are inhibiting our creativity, the podcast New Tech City is trying to use technology to bring back the quiet, reflective time our gadgets have disrupted. In a project called Bored and Brilliant, they invite participants to track how much time they spend on the phone. Then on February 2, they'll launch a week of creative challenges aimed at regaining control of phone use and making time for constructive mind-wandering.
Still, Zomorodi cautions that we shouldn't be too quick to blame our tools. She relates a story told to her by Alex Pang, author of The Distraction Addiction. In his research, Pang talked with a group of Buddhist monks who were heavily connected — active web and social media users. "Why is it that you think tech is any more distracting than your own mind, or anything else in the world?" the monks asked him. "Distraction comes from within."

If any of the above describes you, you may be experiencing a serious mood or personality disorder. These conditions can develop over time or strike seemingly at random. There's no shame in struggling under the oppressive clouds, however, if you need a helping hand to break through, we are here to help you.
You aren't alone. Even if the tunnel seems dark and endless, help is available here at OCA Behavioral Health Services.
A Different Approach to Mental Health
Unlike other programs and practitioners, we don't think there's anything wrong with you. We won't try to "fix" whatever coping mechanisms have helped you survive thus far.
Instead, we'll work with you on a one-on-one basis to identify your underlying emotional issues and what makes you think you need help. Then we'll work together to formulate a strategy of recovery. You might take therapy or begin participation in emotional outreach programs; you may or may not be offered medication.
The true purpose of our wellness service is to help you build the tools to deal with psychological setbacks, not throw a band-aid over them or drug them away. Only through understanding can we truly change ourselves. That's the OCA motto.

HAU HIN, Thailand – A spoonful of butter slides down the edge of a hot pan and begins to sizzle as it hits the fire. Throughout this Thai kitchen, steam and other various aromas take to the air to combine into a motley crew of smells; those familiar smells typically associated with dinner.
A handful of kitchen staff scramble around each other in a small kitchen, moving in a precise culinary ballet, cooking and cleaning as they prepare food for several hundred U.S. Soldiers and Civilians.
This tango of ingredients come together under the instruction of long-time chef, Thirapat Yotajuk and his staff at the Krua NiYom restaurant, meaning popular restaurant in English. Yotajuk, a native of Nakhonsithamrat Province in southern Thailand, opens his family-operated restaurant six hours early to prepare meals for the Soldiers. Yotajuk works with one of the preventive medicine specialist to ensure his food is safe to eat.
Ensuring the food and water is safe to consume becomes an important job for the preventive medicine team, but it is also a vital role for the start of the second annual bilateral Army-to-Army training exercise, Hanuman Guardian.
"My main goal for this entire exercise is to make sure we go with no disease or non battle injuries," said Staff Sgt. Anthony Paolucci, a preventive medicine supervisor and a Pittsburgh native with the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 65th Medical Brigade. "We try to keep Soldiers from getting sick. I like to think of myself as helping the medics have a slow day. The number one thing I look for when going into a restaurant is sanitation. Sanitation is key because that will lead to a lot of food-born illnesses especially being in the field. A soldier out of the fight is a soldier out of the fight and that's what we want to prevent."
Yotajuk is no newcomer to the heat in the kitchen; he stated that he started preparing meals at the young age of 10. As an experienced chef, he demonstrates his culinary expertise by cooking without a stove, oven or microwave. As he strives to be one of top local restaurants in Hau Hin, he prepares breakfast and dinner for the U.S. forces participating in Hanuman Guardian.
"I've been cooking a long time," said Yotajuk. "I've made many great meals and learned to adapt to what I have. I don't need a stove to cook; just big pots and I can make you just about anything. There are many great restaurants in this province, but I like to think that I'm among the best. If my guests and the soldiers like my food and come back, then I'm happy."
He said he was excited to work with and cook for the U.S. Soldiers because it will provide a challenge for him and allow him to get more creative.
"It's such an honor to cook for the soldiers," said Yotajuk. "Normally, Thai people aren't so picky. So cooking for the American soldiers, I had to increase my menu, make my dishes less spicy, and add more butter. It's a good challenge for me to break away from my normal style of cooking. I have to be able to make a dish that I would like to eat and taste just as good to the American soldiers."
Although Yotajuk was excited to prepare meals for the U.S. soldiers participating in Hanuman Guardian, the cultural differences meant that he had to make a few changes to his restaurant based on Paolucci's advisement.
"I feel great working with Mr. Yotajuk. He's made great strides from day one," said Paolucci. "I've made a lot of recommendations and he's made a lot of changes to his actual restaurant to meet our standards. Some people may not know that in Thailand, they may not have the same kitchens that we have in the U.S. They may not have hot water heaters or stoves.
Yotajuk implemented the changes to Krua NiYom because he said that the changes would only improve his restaurant.
"I didn't mind making the changes because I knew that they would only be better for my business," said Yotajuk. "What's good for the soldiers is good for Thai people."
Paolucci said before Yotajuk could begin cooking for the soldiers he had to install a hot water heater for cleaning meats, vegetables, and sanitizing dishes. He also mentioned that he had to replace the wooden cutting boards with non-porous cutting boards.
"There were a few things that he needed to purchase in order bring his kitchen up to standard and he was willing to do it," said Paolucci. "One thing that was good about working with Thirapat is that he already knew temperatures and times for cooking and storing food. It's culturally different cooking over here, but he was willing to adapt his ways to serve us. It makes me feel great to know that he's honored to serve us while we're here doing our exercise."
Yotajuk will continue to work with the preventive medicine team throughout the Hanuman Guardian exercise to make sure the food is safe to eat and handled properly. The Krua NiYom restaurant is surrounded by palm trees and tucked away from the heat. Yotajuk serves mostly everything on his menu for 60 baht that's roughly, $2.32.

Graphical report objects not consistently rendering
I have a dashboard report that heavily utilizes gauges and subreports to show the states of various metrics and sub-metrics. It is mostly a tabular layout with the child metrics hidden until their parent metric is expanded. When the report is executed, sometimes all of the charts render just fine. Other times, none of them render, with the first one being replaced with a missing image icon and the rest only being white space. Expanding or collapsing child metrics can sometimes cause the images to render correctly, or to fail.
Admittedly, this report is not done very cleanly. To quickly add sparklines to an existing report, a subreport was used to generate a sparkline rather than having the sparkline within the main report. This has allowed for passing a CSV list to the sparkline report, where it is then expanded and converted to a full dataset. It also has allowed for easier visual fine-tuning of the sparkline object. This makes, in total, around 150 total subreport renders. EDIT: Lowered from 280 - wrapped the gauge in a rectangle to keep the tablix from distorting it. Not sure why I didn't think to do that earlier.
SSRS web head is a VM with ~5.5GB RAM, running SQL Server 2008 R2 and Windows 2003. CPU jumps to around 30-40% utilization when this report is executed, from around 10%. Memory usage does not change much.
I am assuming that the issue is the number of subreport instances, or chart objects, but I would like to better understand the specifics behind this, such as why it sometimes works, and always seems to work on export, and if there are any ways to resolve the issue without eliminating those objects from the report or completely refactoring.
EDIT: This was due to the number of subreport calls. Since grouping already existed, it was easy enough to pull the sparkline back to the same report, wrapping it in a rectangle as mentioned above with the change gauge. Speed is a bit lower than previous, however everything renders correctly - worth the ~5 extra seconds. Leaving this open, as I would still like any information that anyone can provide as to why this behavior might occur.
- Edited by Ahren P Monday, November 19, 2012 11:53 PM Issue resolved
Hi Ahren,
In SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services, there is a known issue about the report rendering with the following scenario:
- You create a report in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services (SSRS 2008 R2).
- The report has a tablix data region, and the region contains some chart, gauge, or map items.
- You deploy the report and try to review it.
The issue may be caused by a javascript error with resizing image in Internet Explorer. The hotfix was first introduced in Cumulative update package 4 for SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1. To work around this issue, we can insert rectangles into the tablix before placing the chart items.

I do not like Swiss Cheese except on a rueben.
Most fish(except for raw fish, I could live off of sushi)
How restaurants make or call stuff crab cakes
Lemon sauces
Lemon in my water(absolutely hate it and it ruins water yeah I know im like the only person in the world)
Tomatoes 99% of the time
Lettuce on anything but a salad or lettuce wraps
Grilled Chicken breast is just terrible

. And the fish is always insanely expensive and, like the chicken breast, served in a really boring fashion. It pisses me off, because I imagine that if they didn't have those two dishes, they would probably have something awesome on there instead.
Sandwiches at jewish delis - the ones that are just 3/4 lbs of deli meat piled 5 inches high on rye bread with nothing else. And the people who rave about how awesome they are. It's like eating a plate of pastrami with a fork and chasing it with a tiny slice of crappy bread. A decent sandwich needs a balance of at least 5 different ingredients.
Spaghetti - I know it's identical to every other pasta except for its shape, but for some reason it almost always sucks. Can't hold sauce well, tricky to cook right.
It's funny, but most of the white fishes at higher end restaurants(Dover Sole(real sole not some bs a place is calling sole), sea bass and grouper are actually extremely expensive to buy wholesale $15-20lb for quality fish. I agree with you though and never order any of that at restaurants. but my mom gets the dumb bland chicken dish all the time. I don't know how she always eats it, so boring.
Haha I love jewish deli sandwiches and actually usually don't like a ton of ingredients on my sandwiches(I hate L/T on anything other then a good cold cut and half the time I don't like it on there).
I completely agree with you about spaghetti I never buy it always buy a different type of pasta.
