Given that ecological effects of disturbance have been extensively studied in many ecosystems, it is surprising that few quantitative syntheses across diverse ecosystems have been conducted. Multi-system studies tend to be qualitative because they focus on disturbance types that are difficult to measure in an ecologically relevant way. In addition, synthesis of existing studies across systems or disturbance types is challenging because sufficient information needed for analysis is not easily available. Theoretical advances and improved predictions can be advanced by generalizations obtained from synthesis activities that include multiple sites, ecosystems, and disturbance events. Building on existing research, we present a conceptual framework and an operational analog to integrate this rich body of knowledge and to promote quantitative comparisons of disturbance effects across different types of ecosystems and disturbances. This framework recognizes individual disturbance events that consist of three quantifiable components: (1) environmental drivers, (2) initial system properties, and (3) physical and biological mechanisms of effect, such as deposition, compaction, and combustion. These components result in biotic and abiotic legacies that can interact with subsequent drivers and successional processes to influence system response. Through time, a coarse-scale quasi-equilibrial state can be reached where variation in drivers interacting with biotic processes and feedbacks internal to the system results in variability in dynamics. At any time, a driver of sufficient magnitude can push the system beyond its realm of natural variability to initiate a new kind of event. We use long-term data from diverse terrestrial ecosystems to illustrate how our approach can facilitate cross-system comparisons, and provide new insights to the role of disturbance in ecological systems. We also provide key disturbance characteristics and measurements needed to promote future quantitative comparisons across ecosystems.}, keywords = {JRN, wildfire}, doi = {10.1890/es11-00115.1}, url = {bibliography/11-015.pdf}, author = {Peters, Debra P.C. and Lugo, Ariel E. and Chapin III, F.

Weak story, no suspense, no real climax.
The Christopher Lee Dracula series by Hammer is much better. Those movies still work. Excellent British actors (especially the legendary Peter Cushing), elaborate costumes and lighting and some violence. A bit slow compared to today's standards, but definitely still worth watching.

Apr 1, 2012 - By Bruce Tippets, Sports EditorBuffalo put in three unanswered goals to post a 3-1 victory Saturday afternoon, snapping a three-game soccer winning streak for the Lander Valley High School girls.
The Lady Bison controlled the second half to chalk up the win.
"We played really well for stretches," LVHS coach Dean Schaff said. "Buffalo was a lot more physical at times than us. They won the ball out of the air."
The Tigers pounded Rawlins 9-0 on Thursday afternoon.
"We probably played our best game of the year against Rawlins," Schaff said. "We were able to pass the ball around."
LVHS went 3-1 in its homestand with wins vs. Torrington, Rawlins and Jackson.
"It was a great win for us," Buffalo head coach Jen Skaggs said. "We played together as a team. We are short on players. They just stepped up and played the roles that they needed to play."
Torrington and Rawlins were conference matches.
"We are right where we need to be," Schaff said. "We have a couple of weeks here to get healed up and go in for the final stretch."
LVHS will next be in action on Friday, April 13, at Douglas.
"Buffalo can come up and push and shove a little bit," Schaff said. "They can also pass the ball around."
Buffalo 3, Lander 1
Midway through the first half, Lander's Taylor Meeks found a hole in Buffalo's defense and knocked one into the net for the home squad.
"We pushed numbers up and we were able to get a shot off it," Schaff said. "It turned into a hustle play."
The mistake didn't rattle the Lady Bison.
"The quick goal was just an error," Skaggs said. "We were fine. We had to drop back a little more on defense because of the wind."
The Tigers let up in the final 20 minutes of play with the 1-0 cushion.
"After that we just sat back and wanted to play defense instead of attacking," Schaff said.
Buffalo took advantage and scored with eight minutes left on a goal from Caley Stafford.
A minute later, Katlyn Armstrong put the Lady Bison ahead 2-1.
"Katlyn is an excellent player," Skaggs said. "She is very quick."
Armstrong is playing soccer next year at Northwest College.
The Lady Bison clinched the victory two minutes into the second half on a second goal from Armstrong.
Buffalo goalkeeper Jenna Anderson collected a number of key saves in the final half to protect the lead for the visiting squad.
Anderson missed all of last year because of injuries. This is the first year in goal for Anderson.
"She has quick hands," Skaggs said.
Lander 9, Rawlins 0
The Tigers netted five goals in the first half and four more in the second half for the nine-goal victory on Thursday.
Alison Schimming and Taylor Meeks paced the attack with two goals apiece.
Lindsay Crane, Ella Welsh, Emma Estep, Aspen Hemingway and Taylor Blasko all contributed with one goal apiece.
LVHS blasted 15 shots on goal. The Tigers allowed just one shot on goal.

AMHERST, Massachusetts -- Tufts had four players in double digits as the Jumbos posted their second-straight upset of a top-3 team with an 88-81 win at Amherst. Tufts never trailed as they jumped out to a 21-13 lead with 9:58 left in the first off of an 8-0 run. Amherst's Chris Akers came alive before the break with five straight points to cut the Jumbo lead to 1, but a pair of Dan Ragsdale free throws gave Tufts a 38-35 edge at the break.
The Jumbos capitalized on Amherst fouls and 8-19 shooting from behind the arc in the second half to extend the lead to as much as 13 after a pair of long-range threes from Dave Cunningham. But Amherst tri-captain Jamal Wilson mounted a 10-2 run over three minutes to move within 67-65 with 6:20 to play. But Wilson, who had 27 of his 31 points in the second half wasn't enough as the clock wound down. Forced to foul, Brian Skerry sank a perfect 8-8 from the stripe in the closing two minutes to round out the game. Three Wilson treys in the last minute of play took the final to 88-81.
Tufts betters its record to 17-5 with back-to-back wins over No. 2-ranked Colby and No. 3 Amherst. The Jumbos play again at Brandeis on Thursday before rounding out the season at Connecticut College on Saturday.
Amherst falls to 19-4 and prepare for their regular season finale this Saturday against Skidmore in Amherst.
Tufts (17-5) 38 50 -- 88 Amherst (19-4) 35 46 -- 81

Structure of the Starship Database
This database encompasses all vessel types that ever appeared in Star Trek - all that could be seen on screen or whose name or class was spoken out. In the broadest sense, every distinct design of manned ships or shuttles, unmanned probes and space stations has been included. Starfleet ships are listed alphabetically by class, alien ships by the name of the civilization.
The following items do *not* qualify for the database:
Unidentifiable vessels seen in the far background
Vague mentions by characters such as "47 ships were destroyed" or "I once served on a freighter"
Vessels and vehicles that exist in the real world
It would be pointless to list just the arbitrary selection of existing vehicles that appeared in the series like the Saturn V or Pathfinder (and that are better described elsewhere).
Planet or moon-based facilities, (wheeled) ground vehicles, generic "shapeless" torpedo weapons and spaceborne lifeforms
There may be single exceptions like the Argo jeep or the "living starships".
This database has strict standards to avoid speculation and pure conjecture being listed on par with canon facts. Aside from observations on screen (which supersede anything else), only data from these official publications is taken into account (like everywhere on this website): the Star Trek Fact Files, Star Trek: The Magazine, the Star Trek Encyclopedia I-III, the TNG Technical Manual, the DS9 Technical Manual. In many cases, however, there will be only very few specific information, particularly for "alien-of-the-week" vessels. If the confirmed information is scarce, the annotations may easily become much more extensive. Any such musings may not provide ultimate solutions and should be taken as suggestions and not as a dogma. As non-canon sources, even if quoted only in the annotations, would only cause more confusion than necessary, they are usually not taken into account.
For more about canon, I recommend reading the extensive write-up What is Canon? or the FAQ.
Sample Listing
The description in this field is directly based on facts that were on screen or that are obvious even without being explicitly mentioned. Where nothing else is available, this may be restricted to something indistinct like "It's a really big ship", although it may read silly.
|Known ships
Only vessels are listed of which either the name or the registry is known. Only vessels are listed which definitely belong to this class or type. This may include entries from the Star Trek Encyclopedia or other official reference manuals, although several of them may not be verified on screen.
This field is comprised of remarks about the ship type as seen on screen and behind the scenes. In particular, the following topics may be covered:
1) General information about the ship type's screen appearances and the episodes in which it could be seen.
2) Behind-the-scenes information about how the ship was designed and constructed and by whom - in particular if the miniature or CGI is a re-use.
3) Oddities and inconsistencies concerning the ship's look, its specs or its appearances on screen - including tentative solutions.
4) If possible and necessary, an assessment of the ship's size.
5) Information and speculation about variants and design lineages.
6) Oddities and trivia about the class name, the registries or the names of individual ships.
This field contains only the very basic specs and only those that were mentioned on screen or in official reference manuals. In particular, figures about the power or weapon systems are not included, as they are intrinsically contradictory. I will list the length of the ship if at least a rough size comparison is possible.
The image on the left usually depicts a starboard view of the ship type and sometimes a top view of a station or probe. If available, the class name like "Constitution" or "Vor'cha" is listed underneath the image thumbnail. If the class name is unknown, it is the name of an individual ship of this class such as "Aeon type" or "Bok'Nor type". If no name is known, a generic term like "Military freighter" or "Battleship" is used.
|Known ships
The name of the prototype ship being redundant, it is not listed here, unless its registry is known too.
Note that these remarks are usually non-canon and often very speculative, but may be useful to assess the available facts. Don't quote this as canon or even as "EAS claims that it's canon".
Ship type
Length: ?
Deck count: ?
Max. speed: ?
Crew complement: ?
First commissioned in ?
Battlecruiser type
There may be two reasons why the small thumbnail is not clickable:
1) No side view of higher resolution is available.
2) I have decided that we don't want so see a larger image of it because the same studio miniature or CGI was used for ships of different sizes, of different eras or from different corners of the galaxy which just can't be the same design. In some cases the thumbnail is modified to look at least slightly different than the (clickable) thumbnail of the other, incompatible variant.
|Known ships
Note that most ships of the "minor" alien races are not given an individual name, so this field is often empty.
Sometimes a screen capture of a ship is depicted here, especially if no clear side view is available or if it is useful for further analysis.
A "ship type" is listed if a definite role like a freighter or tanker or a naval term like "heavy cruiser" or "frigate" was mentioned.
There may be two reasons why there is no side view image at all of a starship class:
1) No clear image is available to date.
2) The ship was never seen on screen.
|Known ships
No name given
None available
Uncertain Class
A section called like this lists ship types that were hinted at in any form, but whose existence is not verified.
Unknown Class
A section called like this contains ships whose name was given, but which was neither shown nor mentioned together with its class.

Wrong again! It must stink being a network global warming alarmist. They just can't seem to get their stories straight.
It's only been a couple months when the networks were screaming about Arctic ice disappearing this summer. And, no surprise, they were entirely wrong. By 1.74 million square miles.
As Maxwell Smart used to say: "Missed it by that much."
Less than three months ago, NBC's Anne Thompson was warning ominously of ice loss. "But this summer, some scientists say that ice could retreat so dramatically that open water covers the North Pole, so much so that you could sail across it."
Or not. According to a September 16 National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) report, such predictions were off. Way off.
NSIDC reported ice loss was less than in 2007. "On September 12, 2008, sea ice extent dropped to 4.52 million square kilometers (1.74 million square miles). This appears to have been the lowest point of the year, as sea has now begun its annual cycle of growth in response to autumn cooling," according to the organization.
Two days after Thompson's report, on July 30, ABC weatherman Sam Champion told the "Good Morning America" audience that Arctic ice loss was on a record pace. "Every summer we're on a record pace for losing it last summer and this summer we're at the exact same pace."
The NSIDC assessment makes it clear that claim was also wrong, calling it "above the record minimum set on September 16, 2007." "The Arctic sea ice cover appears to have reached its minimum extent for the year, the second-lowest extent recorded since the dawn of the satellite era. "
Earlier in the summer, media outlets warned ominously that the ice could melt away. "Today" host Lester Holt described the story as "surprising and, frankly, alarming news from the scientific community, a new report that says the North Pole could soon be ice-free."
This fits an ongoing pattern of media hype about climate change where networks no longer report the issue with any sense of objectivity. A study published by the Business & Media Institute earlier this year showed how rarely dissenting voices were included in the climate debate. The study found that global warming proponents overwhelmingly outnumbered those with dissenting opinions. On average for every skeptic there were nearly 13 proponents featured. ABC did a slightly better job with a 7-to-1 ratio, while CBS's ratio was abysmal at nearly 38-to-1.

26yf/m laser lipo jowels. 4wks after surgery had lump on jaw. Doc said time @8wks lump came to surface & was told it was liquid fat in skin layer & wouldn't be reabsorbed. Only option was to let it come through the skin or redo it with u/sound lipo which he did. After lump was still there so he put a needle in & a small amount of liquid fat came out-rest was hard. Looks like a blister & is ugly red & skin flakes off. Doc said time but has told me it can only come through the skin BUT fat is hard. Tx for help!

Obviously, it is not "normal" to keep having hard lumps under the facial skin not to have them come to the surface. I suspect this is related to the destruction of fat and adjacent tissues by the heat of the laser resulting in a patch of desd fat (fat necrosis). Such areas either resolve by themselves (either with or without a sunken areas), sometimes resolve by coming to and emptying to the surface but rarely an operation may need to be done to remove it. You may want to get a second opinion from an ASPS Plastic surgeon as to your best options.

Forget those polls, like the current one conducted for CBS News, that show most Americans disapprove of President Barack Obama's health care scheme. And ignore accounts like the one in today's Politico highlighting the grief some Democratic congressmen are getting for voting with Obama on health care. No, focus instead on stories like the one in today's print and Web edition of the Chicago Tribune. "Health insurance reform profiles" is a "look at how the new law will affect four people in different circumstances." And guess what? Every single one of them approves of ObamaCare. Isn't it funny how it just works out that way?
A 56-year-old woman who lost Medicaid eligibility when her children left home says: "Health reform isn't perfect, it's only a first step, but by God it will make a difference to me." A 62-year-old man covered under his wife's policy "is confident the greater changes are all for the good." A 22-year-old male is relieved he'll continue to be carried on his parent's health insurance when he goes to art school. If not for ObamaCare, "I would have either taken the risk and opted out or looked for work instead of going further in school." A 40-year-old- freelance writer confides that he is "was "'thrilled' to see the health care overhaul signed into law."
Quoted several times in the article is Anthony Wright, executive director of Health Access California. Remarkably, he likes ObamaCare, too. Tribune newshounds make no mention of his background, which just possibly could color his views:
A consumer advocate and community organizer. Wright has been widely quoted in local and national media on a range of issues. He has also worked for New Jersey Citizen Action, the Center for Media Education, The Nation magazine, and in Vice President Gore's office in the White House.
You'd think that if the Tribune looked really, really hard, it may have found someone - anyone - who's not enthused about what Obama and his Democratic minions have done to the health care system. Instead, like many other mainstream media outlets, it's hopped aboard Obama's campaign to portray the disaster as a success.

The Missionary Blessing Fund (aka Run for Missions Fund) provides support for Evangelical Friends Church missionaries.
This support is available either for field support or to help missionaries pay for education (undergraduate student loans or graduate or post-graduate continuing education). This fund is supported by the annual Run for Missions fundraiser.
In order to raise funds for this Scholarship, the EFC-MAYM Mission Mobilizers sponsor the annual "Run For Missions". Allen Smelser (Stanwood Friends) and Adam Monaghan first started this annual event in 2008. Adam Monaghan continues annually to run 100 miles from the Friends Ministry Center in Wichita to Barclay College in Haviland, KS (or the reverse). Our goal is to raise at least $25,000 this year to support this scholarship fund. We are seeking at least 125 supporters to give $100 dollars ($1 per mile) and we are praying that at least 10 generous supporters will give $1,000 by November 15. You can help make this dream a reality!

Yeah, but they usually have non-x86 CPUs (like Motorola etc.) and use
custom software (that you can't get for free) which has been written
especially for that platform. Some of them use uCLinux, which we can't
beat in terms of CPU and RAM requirements with what is essentially a
stock FreeBSD system that has only been stripped of any unnecessary
components. But IMHO it's more flexible.

Classification: Endangered Missing
Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Disappearance

He left behind his wallet. At the time of his disappearance, he was caring for his roommate's elderly mother, who died two weeks later.
Family members say they believe the terminally ill man might have left town to spare his family the pain of watching him grow weaker and die. But they said it was uncharacteristic of him to vanish without contacting his family. Two years later, his family reported him missing.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Intel ( INTC) shares fell as the company missed second-quarter earnings estimates, amid a reset of Wall Street expectations. The world's largest chip maker reported earnings of 39 cents a share on $12.81 billion in revenue. Gross margins came in at 58%, up 2% sequentially, but down 5% year-over-year. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected Intel to earn 39 cents a share on $12.896 billion in revenue. Estimize analysts estimated Intel would earn 40 cents a share on $12.86 billion in revenue. "In the second quarter, we delivered on our quarterly outlook and made several key product announcements," said Intel CEO Brian Krzanich. "In my first two months as CEO, I have listened to a wide variety of views about Intel and our industry from customers, employees and my leadership team and I am more confident than ever about our opportunity as a company." Krzanich touched on Intel's future, especially as it relates to the mobile market. "Looking ahead, the market will continue buying a wide range of computing products," he said, in the press release. "Intel Atom and Core processors and increased SOC integration will be Intel's future. We will leave no computing opportunity untapped. To embrace these opportunities, I've made it Intel's highest priority to create the best products for the fast growing ultra-mobile market segment." For the third quarter, Intel appeared to reset market expectations, as Krzanich. Intel said it expects revenue to be $13.5 billion, plus or minus $500 million. Gross margins would be approximately 61%, plus or minus a couple of percentage points. For the full year, Intel revised revenue guidance lower, saying it now expects it to be "approximately flat year-on-year, down from prior expectations of low single digit percentage increase." Gross margins are expected to be around 59%, plus or minus a couple percentage points, down from prior expectations of 60%, plus or minus a few percentage points. The company also lowered its full-year capital spending plan. It now expects to spend $11 billion, plus or minus $500 million, down from a previous view of $12 billion. Shares of Intel fell 0.33% to $24.17 during the regular trading session. The stock is moving lower in extended-hours trading, down 4.22% to $23.13 according to Nasdaq.com. -- Written by Chris Ciaccia in New York >Contact by Email. Follow @Chris_Ciaccia

Old school '54 Chevy Cruiser
June 18, 2013
Way back in 2008, the Roamin Angel Corner featured Mike Chatfield's '50 Chevy pickup, titling it "Old School."
The reason was that Mike likes to build his street rods himself and drive them. Although his rods have won trophies, they're just a nice byproduct rather than the reason he builds them.
Over the years, he has built a number of them, always Chevys, and driven them for a while before selling them. When he saw a '54 Chevy 210 body and frame for sale on Craigslist for a good price, he decided to buy it and build it just to sell.
"I have as much fun building them as driving them," he said.
The body had a little rust, but he repaired that. He painted it himself in blue and white, using paint named "blue suede shoes." He dropped in a crate GM 350 CID engine, but only after souping it up with a hotter cam, a ProComp electronic ignition, a high performance intake and a Carter AFB carb.
He used a Turbo 350 auto trans and matched it to a Ford 8-inch rear end. Although he kept the stock front suspension, he completely rebuilt it. He's quick to point out that it's the same suspension that Corvettes had through 1962, so it gives pretty good handling. With power steering and brakes, as well as air conditioning, it runs and drives well.
For the interior, Mike installed new carpets, painted the dash metallic blue and used a Mexican blanket as seat covers. One of the few things Mike did not do himself was the headliner and door panels, opting to get some professional assistance. For sounds, he added an AM/FM/CD player. He finished it all this last April. It turned out to be fortunate that he did.
For the last 10 years, two guys out of Reno put on a long, multi-state cruise for 75 cars known as the Nevada Classic Car Tour. News of it has spread by word of mouth, and it is so popular with those who have gone on it that 65 percent of those who went the first year are still going on it. While most of the cars come from Nevada, most of the Western states have at least one participant.
Mike felt it would be a great way to meet people and have fun taking his car on a long cruise, so he and wife Diane signed up. He had planned to drive their '50 Chevy pickup, but some issues with it made him have concerns about driving it on a 2,000-mile trip. When they decided to take the '54 Chevy, which only had 800 miles on it since the rebuild, he told her, "Well, we'll hope it stays together."
They set out from Reno with the group on the cruise, heading on a loop through Oregon, Washington and Idaho before returning to Reno. In towns along the way, they put on "show and shine" car shows for local charities. One of them, in Baker City, Ore., was for a family with three daughters who all had heart problems. The money they raised was for a heart transplant for one of the young girls. It is a way the hot rodders make a fun event helpful to others. And Mike's '54 Chevy did well both in the cruising and the showing. In all, he and Diane traveled 2,200 miles without any problem to speak of.
Now that they're back in town, Mike and Diane are going to continue to cruise around in their '54. In fact, it turned out so well and Diane likes it so much, he just might keep it for longer than he planned. Still, if you make him an offer, it just might be yours.
After all, he can always build another one. And he'll do it "old school."

text: That's a classic, for sure. Love those old '50s scoots. Engine-wise, with gears, my personal opinion (valued highly by my children, as you can imagine.......): LC singles and geared - WR250R/X. Good power, reliable, light, LONG service interval. AC singles and geared - TTR250, XL250, SR400. If you're going for a true "twist-n-go" auto single, it's really hard to go past the Piaggio Quasar drivetrain, very smooth and understressed, huge aftermarket, but the Kymco 250cc G3 drivetrains are slightly rougher in operation although they have excellent reliability and performance. Having said all that, a Ninja twin would be cool.

Christians Should "Convert, Pay Tribute, or Leave," Says Egypt´s Muslim Brotherhood Candidate? (GateStone Institute) by Raymond Ibrahim 05/30/12)

GateStone Institute Articles-Index-Top
"They need to know that conquest is coming, that Egypt will be Islamic, and that they must pay jizya or emigrate," Morsi reportedly said.
According to the popular Egyptian website, El Bashayer, Muhammad Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood presidential candidate, just declared that he will "achieve the Islamic conquest (fath) of Egypt for the second time, and make all Christians convert to Islam, or else pay the jizya," the additional Islamic tax, or financial tribute, required of non-Muslims, or financial tribute.
In a brief report written by Samuel al-Ashay and published by El Bashayer on May 27, Morsi allegedly made these comments while speaking with a journalist at the headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood´s Freedom and Justice Party, adding "We will not allow Ahmed Shafiq [his contending presidential candidate] or anyone else to impede our second Islamic conquest of Egypt."
After his interviewer pointed out that the first Muslim conquest of Egypt was "carried out at the hands of Amr bin al-As [in 641]," he asked Morsi, "Who will the second Islamic conqueror be?" Morsi, replied, "The second Muslim conqueror will be Muhammad Morsi," referring to himself, "and history will record it."
When asked what he thought about many Christian Copts coming out to vote for his secular opponent, Ahmed Shafiq, Morsi reportedly said, "They need to know that conquest is coming, and Egypt will be Islamic, and that they must pay jizya or emigrate."
If this interview is accurate, certainly Morsi would not be the first political Islamist in Egypt to say he wants to see the nation´s Christians subjugated and made to pay jizya (see here for more examples).
However, considering that the English language media are currently reporting that Morsi is trying to woo Egypt´s Christians and women to win more votes, it is difficult to imagine that he actually made those comments: one does not doubt that he favors the idea of a "second Islamic conquest" and the subjugation of Christians; one doubts that he would be so foolish as to reveal his mind now, publicly, and thereby jeopardize his chances of winning the presidency.
Then again, his remarks are reported in the context of a private meeting at the headquarters of the Brotherhood´s political party. Perhaps Morsi thought he was speaking to a fellow Islamist who would not expose him? Perhaps he was frustrated at having to win Copts over and was "venting"? Stay tuned.

Part of the act

These actors are at the top of the craft, but have no idea why. Madeleine Murray reports.
These actors are at the top of the craft, but have no idea why. Madeleine Murray reports.
It takes a lot to impress people at The New Yorker Festival. The calibre is so high that the first year I went, Salman Rushdie and Steve Martin were there - in the audience.
But there's a big buzz around this festival event on Saturday afternoon, a panel on acting featuring Edward Norton, Cynthia Nixon, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Stanley Tucci. Hundreds of people are pushing against the velvet rope cordoning off the entrance to the Director's Guild Theatre on 57th Street West, near Carnegie Hall. Actors, directors, students and fans are hoping to get in or buy a last-minute unwanted ticket.
Cynthia Nixon is best known as red-haired Miranda in Sex and the City; Edward Norton started off as a porn king's attorney in The People vs Larry Flynt and went on to star in American History X, Fight Club and 25th Hour. Hoffman and Tucci are brilliant character actors and moderator John Lahr, son of Bert Lahr, who played the cowardly lion in The Wizard of Oz, is The New Yorker's theatre critic.
Inside, the stage is empty except for five black director's chairs and four tables draped in black.
The lights are dimmed - the panel comes on and sits down in the dark. The voluble audience is instantly silent as a technician creeps around the stage putting radio mics on the actors. The little shadow show is perhaps a metaphor for the subject. Performing is such an elusive art - a deep secret between the director, the actor and the force - that no one has ever been able to nail it. Maybe today will be different.
The event is titled "The Method" but Lahr says we should forget about that, as that was "just a rubric decided by The New Yorker". As if to confirm the futility of the event, he quotes actor Paul Scofield who said "there are no rules in acting except audibility".
"Actors have become the demagogues of the age," Lahr says, waving towards the panel and saying they need no introduction unless we have been asleep for the past 10 years.
"All actors are callow," says Nixon. "To me, they're technicians of the spirit."
Since everyone agrees it's impossible to just sit around and talk about the ineffable art, Lahr has asked each actor to pick a bad clip and a good clip and say why.
Nixon introduces her bad clip - Miranda's wedding to Steve in Sex and the City: "When there's something that says in bold letters BIG EMOTIONAL SCENE, I just sort of tighten up and I freeze. To me that's very in evidence here."
The scene is shown on a big screen behind the panel. Now that she has pointed it out, Miranda does look rather strained and one-dimensional as she says "I do".
Nixon feels that she missed the chance for nuance and complexity in the scene: "At such an emotional confusing moment in one's life, there are so many colours. If you let yourself be free and in the moment, it would be very varied and interesting and unexpected, rather than think "I have to be moved and adoring here.' "
Her good clip comes from an unlikely TV film about an Appalachian mother in the Depression dying of tuberculosis. She is arguing with her husband about sending their deaf daughter away to school: "It's so much freer and it has layers and colours. It's an everyday scene of a husband and wife fighting, but I think there's so much more reality to it and about what goes on in a relationship."
Edward Norton's only clip is from his first film - his riveting courtroom performance as Larry Flynt's attorney. Norton credits director Milos Forman with his great debut - Forman set up a lot of cameras, rolled them and had the actors do long improvisations, which he sculpted in the editing room.
"It was a big scene, very technical," says Norton. "We did it about 10 times. I felt I was progressively dialling it in - getting closer to the mark I'd set in my head."
A few months later, Forman invited Norton to the editing room to see the scene. "I was horrified. He had used the first take, I was stumbling over words, very nervous."
Forman explained that the attorney would be nervous and bumbling - he had used Norton's instinctive fear. Norton realised that in acting, he had to find unrepeatable moments, free himself up to "truly respond naturally".
Character actor Tucci has been in dozens of films including The Terminal and Road to Perdition. He describes acting as "so much self-love and self-loathing".
He shows a very soggy clip of a couple talking in a car from a film that bombed. "The writing was like slogging through quicksand. You're trapped in a world of cliches. I've always been proud of myself and I think everybody up here is, too, that you play against the emotion. Here it's very hard to do, you're doing your best, and maybe you're being directed in a way that ... anyway, I suffer still at the memory of this."
"But it got you a pool," says Norton, which reminds me of a Richard Burton line from deep in the nadir of his film career: "I'm just counting the shekels."
Tucci's good clip is from Big Night, a film he directed in 1996. "I was so much more comfortable with the dialogue - to me there's a sense of ease in the performance that I always try to achieve."
Philip Seymour Hoffman is the doughy, pudgy, sallow actor in Almost Famous, Happiness, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, The Talented Mr Ripley and Cold Mountain. In his bad clip, from Along Came Polly, Hoffman is acting crazy as he makes Ben Stiller watch his honeymoon video. Always willing to be fat and obnoxious, Hoffman seems fine in this scene, but he hates it: "If you don't have strong groundwork going into shooting a film, then you show all your first choices, your cliche choices, your mess in front of the camera. Other people are good in Along Came Polly, I watch this movie and I'm in such pain. I was trying to find the truth in a cliche. But I think I failed miserably. I see myself floundering, sinking.
"It just reminds me again how hard acting is - acting is so f- - -ing difficult. And when you do well, it's 'wow I did well, I can die now'. And then you have to do well again, that's just unbearable. The beauty of bad work is that it makes me want to act again immediately."
Hoffman's good clip is from Happiness, a dark film about a pedophile. Hoffman plays a repressed, repulsive man who has been having graphic anonymous phone sex with his beautiful neighbour and hanging up. In this scene, he visits her for the first time. When she opens the door, he stands there silently looking ashamed and afraid, then walks in and sits down pathetically on a sofa.
"There's very little dialogue. Things happen here that weren't really written down physically. It's a good example of what can happen if you are prepared. I have this confidence and trust and think it's OK.
"I didn't really plan that but I'd done a lot of work about how this guy behaved, where he was coming from. You do a lot of research, then let your instincts take over."
The discussion opens up - Norton quotes Woody Allen, "Every stage of making a film ruins it more and more, there's more disappointment every day."
"There's so much disappointment," Hoffman says. "I'm uplifted by the fact I can do it sometimes, but I wonder why I put myself through it."
They get on to the subject of the difference between film and theatre, as the four actors have worked a lot on the stage. "Stage is such an adult thing," says Nixon. "You have to get yourself to the theatre, get yourself dressed, put on your make-up, listen for your cue. In film, they basically carry you to your trailer, feed you. There is really something childlike about film actors - there's so much money around and they're so desperate that you're completely happy at all times. You work so much better on a film if you just give over."
They talk about the importance of style in acting, which segues into their anxieties. "One of my worst fears," says Hoffman, "is that I'm up there and I don't know what the f- - - I'm doing - thinking this guy wouldn't sit like this, ever.
Even Norton worries: "When I walk around or talk to a friend in normal life, I never have the thought, 'What do I do with my hands?' But the minute I get on stage, it's 'What do I do with my hands?' It's so weird."
So the afternoon was over and, even though we had a great time, we still didn't know the secret of acting. We weren't even sure where to put our hands.

It is a
The Republican party's right wing would probably be less approving but it tends not to see or hear such messages because this version of Romney airs on Spanish-language media and is aimed at Latino voters.
The GOP and Super Pac supporters have ramped up this parallel advertising campaign in swing states such as Colorado, Florida and Nevada as a protective wall against the wave of Latino support for President
"Much of the Spanish-language advertising for the Romney campaign has been very, very bad," said Gary Segura, a professor of political science at Stanford University and a principal at the polling firm Latino Decisions. "Although given the circumstances, there's not much any advertising campaign could have done."
The circumstances are the hard line Mr Romney took on undocumented immigrants to clinch the Republican nomination earlier this year. He called for "self-deportation" – a euphemism to make life so miserable for the undocumented they leave the United States – and appointed Kris Kobach, the architect of Arizona's draconian immigration law, as an adviser.
Mr Romney recognised the damage. Back in April reporters overheard him at a private fundraiser in Florida warning that Mr Obama's lead among Latinos "spells doom for us".
Republican strategists concluded Mr Romney did not need to match George W Bush's 44 per cent Latino support in 2004 but that he needed to do significantly better than John McCain's 31 per cent in 2008.
Mr Romney dispatched his son Craig, a former missionary in Chile who speaks fluent Spanish, to tour swing states. And in September the candidate appeared on Univision, the Spanish-language TV behemoth, to be grilled by María Elena Salinas and Jorge Ramos, the Walter Cronkite of Latino media.
Republican organisers packed the audience with whooping supporters and Mr Romney acquitted himself reasonably well but commentary focused on his unusually deep, orange-tinted tan which triggered mocking accusations of cosmetic pandering to Latinos.
"Too bad the oompa loompa population dwindled 25 years ago," said one tweet.
Romney aides said he had been campaigning in Florida sunshine before the show.
With Latino numbers not improving the GOP and Super Pac backers like Crossroads GPS spent about $US4.6 million on Spanish-language television stations in Colorado, Florida and Nevada, according to Kantar media.
The ads were mostly translated versions of Mr Romney's English-language ads, tweaked to include references to his father's Mexican heritage and the "Soy Mitt Romney" sign-off at the end.
He hammered the theme he would be a better economic steward. "Our economic recovery needs the success of the Hispanic community, but President Obama's misguided policies are dragging down businesses."
Another ad showed euphoria for Mr Obama in 2008, followed by Latino voters detailing broken promises. Another ad lamented Latino poverty and unemployment. "When Obama and his Democratic allies tell us 'Yes we can,' we have to tell them, 'We can't take any more'," says the narrator.
The Obama campaign, however, spent twice almost as much, $8.9 million, and the President, who like Mr Romney does not speak Spanish, mastered phonetics for a 30-second spot of passable Spanish.
"In the young people known as the Dreamers I see the same qualities that Michelle and I try to instil in our daughters," he intones, referring to young undocumented immigrants seeking citizenship. Images show the Obama family, followed by studious Latinos. "As a father, they inspire me. And as President, their bravery has reminded me that no obstacle is too large, and no road is too long."
Another spot features Cristina Saralegui, a television presenter dubbed the Latina Oprah, endorsing Mr Obama in colloquial, rhyming Spanish. "Pa'tras? De eso nada! Pa'lante – con Obama!" Going backward? None of that. Forward – with Obama!
The President scored additional points in May by phoning in to the popular Denver-based KBNO radio show, La Voz del Pueblo, to josh with the host Fernando Sergio about, among other things, the Broncos. Mr Romney declined invitations to do likewise. Last week Sergio endorsed Mr Obama.
The President also appeared on the same Univision forum as Mr Romney (on a separate day) for the requested hour, unlike his rival who gave only 30 minutes. Pressed by the hosts over the lack of immigration reform, Mr Obama said it was his term's biggest failure, a devastating admission were it not for Mr Romney's vulnerability on the issue.
"Some of Obama's ads go too far, they hint that the deferred action process is a path to citizenship when it's not, but Romney has no credibility with Latinos. We can tell when we're being attacked," said Jessie Ramirez, 31, a high school career guidance counsellor at a Democratic rally in Denver.
A Fox News poll on Friday showed Mr Obama leading Mr Romney among Latinos by 66 per cent to 28 per cent – a whopping margin keeping him competitive in Florida, Ohio, Nevada and New Mexico.
Mr Seguro, the analyst and pollster, said the Republican strategy, based on attack ads, now seemed to be discouraging Latinos from voting. "My sense is they've given up on trying to persuade and are trying to suppress by making people think, a pox on both your houses."

Comments about Breedlove Atlas Series Solo C350/CMe Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
When I first saw the guitar I said no way, with that side "monitor"hole. I waqs talked into playing it and wondered why all guitars don't have monitor holes. The guitar has adjustment rods for both the neck and saddle. The guitar is light weight but with a great sound. Try it and be amazed.
Comments about Breedlove Atlas Series Solo C350/CMe Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
The first thing you notice is the diffrent "monitor" hole on top. After you play it you will wonder why all guitars don't have a monmitor hole. A pleasure to play and listen to. Note the inside has a both a neck rod and saddle rod underneath that can both be adjusted. A light weight guitar with an awesome sound.

Joel Conner, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Bellisio Foods, Inc.
1201 Harmon Place
Suite 302
Minneapolis, MN 55403
Dear Mr. Conner:
We inspected your seafood processing facility, located at 100 E. Broadway St., Jackson, OH, on November 27 – 29, 2012. We found that you have serious violations of the seafood Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) regulation, Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 123 (21 CFR 123). In accordance with 21 CFR 123.6(g), failure of a processor of fish or fishery products to have and implement a HACCP plan that complies with this section or otherwise operate in accordance with the requirements of Part 123, renders the fish or fishery products adulterated within the meaning of Section 402(a)(4) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) [21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(4)]. Accordingly, your frozen entrees containing shrimp are adulterated, in that they have been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby they may have been rendered injurious to health. You may find the Act, the seafood HACCP regulations, and the Fish and Fisheries Products Hazards & Controls Guidance through links in FDA's home page at www.fda.gov.
Your response dated December 17, 2012, has been received. However, your response is not adequate because the deviations observed during the inspection have not been corrected. Moreover, further review has identified additional deviations, which are included below.
Your significant violations are as follows:
1. You must conduct a hazard analysis for each kind of fish and fishery product that you produce to determine whether there are food safety hazards that are reasonably likely to occur and have a HACCP plan that, at a minimum, lists the food safety hazards that are reasonably likely to occur, to comply with 21 CFR 123.6(a) and (c)(1). A food safety hazard is defined in 21 CFR 123.3(f) as "any biological, chemical, or physical property that may cause a food to be unsafe for human consumption." However, your firm's HACCP plan for frozen entrees containing shrimp does not list the food safety hazard of allergens, including but not limited to shrimp, milk, and wheat.
In addition, your December 17, 2012, response indicates that prerequisite programs are in place to cover allergens other than shellfish, such as wheat and milk. A prerequisite program cannot be used in lieu of a critical control point to reduce or eliminate a hazard that is reasonably likely to occur.
2. You must conduct a hazard analysis to determine whether there are food safety hazards that are reasonably likely to occur and have a HACCP plan that, at a minimum, lists the critical control points, to comply with 21 CFR 123.6 (a) and (c)(2). A critical control point is defined in 21 CFR 123.3(b) as a "point, step, or procedure in a food process at which control can be applied and a food safety hazard can as a result be prevented, eliminated, or reduced to acceptable levels". However, your firm's HACCP plan for frozen entrees containing shrimp does not list the sauce holding tank, the rework/carryover sauce, the pasta blanching, or the pasta filling processing steps as critical controls points to control the food safety hazard of pathogen growth and toxin formation.
3. You must have a HACCP plan that, at a minimum, lists the critical limits that must be met, to comply with 21 CFR 123.6(c)(3). A critical limit is defined in 21 CFR 123.3(c) as "the maximum or minimum value to which a physical, biological, or chemical parameter must be controlled at a critical control point to prevent, eliminate, or reduce to an acceptable level the occurrence of the identified food safety hazard". However, your HACCP plan for frozen entrees containing shrimp lists a critical limit at the cooking and cooling critical control point that is not adequate to control the food safety hazard of pathogen growth and toxin formation. Specifically, the critical limit for cooking and cooling should include both time and temperature parameters. Your critical limit at the cooking and cooling critical control point only lists a minimum temperature.
Additionally, your HACCP plan for frozen entrees containing shrimp lists a critical limit at the metal detection critical control point that is not adequate to control the food safety hazard of metals. Your critical limit does not ensure that all product goes through the metal detector and that there is no metal in the product.
We suggest that you use the Fish & Fisheries Products Hazards & Controls Guidance: Fourth Edition to evaluate your firm's operation regarding seafood products. While the guidance is not a binding set of requirements it does provide information that will most likely result in a HACCP plan that is acceptable to FDA. Firms may choose other control measures, but they are then responsible for scientifically establishing their adequacy.
This letter may not list all the violations at your facility. You are responsible for ensuring that your firm complies with the Act, the seafood HACCP regulations (21 CFR Part 123), the Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations (21 CFR Part 110), and the Food Labeling regulations (21 CFR Part 101). You should take prompt action to correct these violations. Failure to correct these violations in a prompt manner may result in regulatory actions without further notice, such as seizure, injunction, and/or prosecution.
Additionally, the inspection referenced above identified violations materially related to the food safety requirements of the Act. Accordingly, Section 743 of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 379j-31] authorizes FDA to assess and collect fees to cover FDA's costs associated with reinspection. A reinspection is one or more inspections conducted following an inspection that identified noncompliance materially related to the food safety requirements of the Act, specifically to determine whether compliance has been achieved. Reinspection costs include all expenses, including administrative expenses, incurred in connection with FDA's arranging, conducting, and evaluating the results of the reinspection and assessing and collecting the reinspection fees. FDA will assess and collect fees associated with this reinspection in accordance with Section 743 of the Act.
You should respond in writing within fifteen (15) working days from your receipt of this letter. Your reply should be sent to the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, Attention: Karen Gale Sego, Compliance Officer, 6751 Steger Dr., Cincinnati, OH 45237. Your response should outline the specific steps you have taken to correct these violations. Your response should include your revised HACCP plans and any other useful information that would assist us in evaluating your corrections. If you cannot complete all corrections before you respond, you should explain the reason for your delay and state when you will correct any remaining violations.
If you have questions regarding any issue in this letter, please contact Karen Gale Sego, Compliance Officer, at (513) 679-2700 extension 2164 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

hey there - anyone know of a retailer that carries the Maple Leaf brand of mincemeat. I believe it is a rum and brandy one, with suet.
(I didn't find it at Loblaws or at Dominion and am not interested in a run of stores, so if its at, say Food Basics, I'm there).
Thanks all
oh - and by the way, through oysters can keep in cold storage for months, they are best eaten with in 2 weeks. Now, do those boxes at Sobeys and Dominions have 'packed by'dates on them? Who knows?!

On the Road with Rev. Derrick Harkins: Latinos for Obama Faith Leaders Outreach
Over the weekend, Latino and African American faith leaders came together to meet and engage with the Democratic National Committee's Faith Outreach Director, Rev. Derrick Harkins. Attendees learned about the Latinos for Obama and African Americans for Obama Congregation Captain Program, and how important it is to address the issues facing Iowa's diverse faith communities. Latino and African American faith leaders along with Rev. Harkins, brainstormed strategies to best engage the faith-based community in voter registration, vote by mail, and early voting outreach efforts.
This exciting weekend was kicked off in Des Moines, where Rev. Harkins got a chance to meet with local Latino leaders based in Des Moines and surrounding towns. After the meet and greet in Des Moines, Rev. Harkins and OFA Latino Vote Director, Jeanette Acosta, hit the road and met with Latino and African American community members and faith leaders in Davenport and Waterloo.
This weekend served as a critical step in our march toward the full engagement of Iowa's faith community.
If you're interested in becoming involved in our faith outreach and learning more about our Congregation Captain Program, please join Latinos for Obama and African Americans for Obama today!
