Check out this gorgeous table setting by Suzanne Ascher and Jill Johnson of WaterLeaf Interiors in Manhattan Beach. I particularly love the John Robshaw table cloth and the rustic place setting name tag and chandelier - both of which were crafted from tree twigs. Suzanne and Jill picked those up fron Brenna Berger Paper & Ink.
I also love the large green moss covered balls - they "pop" on the table - taking it to extraordinary! If you've never been to Waterleaf Interiors on Manhattan Beach Blvd., in the heart of Manhattan Beach, check it out! I always find goodies for freshening up and sprucing my home.
With springtime around the corner, we all start feeling a little festive. Time to dust off the outdoor pillows, clean the grill and get our melamine plates out. Here are a few planning tips for your first spring fling - ensuring it has that special spark to make it memorable not just for your guests, but for you as well!

I've always been a believer in aspirin for a headache and a good vent session after a breakup. So, I really had to try to have an open mind when interviewing Veronica Ladjili, founder of Ladjili Jewelry—pieces made from gemstones with healing properties.
However, I quickly found being open minded rather easy. It wasn't because golden rays of light burst from a stone the moment I put it on - but rather because of Veronica herself. There's something about knowing that this ultra-sweet and perceptive individual who hugged me upon arrival and offered me tea, actually handmade the necklace that will fall over my heart.
I was expecting Voodoo or rain dancing (still the skeptic) but it was volunteer work with the Hopi tribe. No shelves shook. No lights flickered. Veronica simply says, "The Hopis explained that art is meant to have the artist's soul in it."
So, Veronica switched gears. While her mom gloated, she experienced some serious success. She had Henri Bendel as a client for some time, but the marriage wasn't made in heaven. She says, "I couldn't give up the one-on-one time with her customers." That is what her process is all about, after all.
Most of her customers come to Veronica, as she puts it, "basically for therapy." They tell her what's going on in their lives, from heartbreaks to traumatic childhood experiences. After you pour your heart out on the table, Veronica pours some gemstones out next to it.
I could hardly believe her story about a little girl who approached Veronica in the park while she was making jewelry. She told Veronica about her fears, about her family problems, and after the girl's father saw his usually shy daughter opening up to someone for once, he invited Veronica over to their home. Veronica made the girl a necklace on the spot and assumed she would never actually go to this family's home.
Days later, feuding with a boyfriend in the car, Veronica asked to be let out - and she was in a neighborhood she didn't know. She was shocked to discover the little girl from the party only to find the little girl and her father sitting outside their house.
While feminists might wildly react to this, many of Veronica's clients are women who need help speaking up for what they want. That could explain why one of the more popular stones is Aqua Marine. It's meant to open up the throat and help you speak your truth.
If you're trying to ward off negative Nancies or maybe that super needy ex who has been calling you recently, you might be drawn to Black Tourmaline. This one protects against negative energy.
Some scented candles, maybe some red silk sheets and…a gym membership are apparently what I need right now. I was drawn instantly to a necklace holding stones that invigorate you physically and get you in touch with your sexuality.
Maybe my next stop on this computer should be Match.com.
Although I was a little taken aback to learn why I reached for the chunky and colorful short necklace, I am excited to see if both my life in the bedroom and on the treadmill get a little easier.
If you're not getting what you want out of your Xanax or your Martini (or if you just want something pretty and shiny), you can swap your liquid therapy for a more solid form on Saturdays at G2 Gallery at 1503 Abbott Kinney from 12:30 to 4:00 p.m., that's where Veronica sets up shop. Or you can go to her website to check out her creations or inquire about a private healing gemstone consultation.
Chocolate was once considered a wicked, guilty pleasure - remember "Death by Chocolate"? But today, chocolate - particularly the darkest types with sky-high cocoa percentages - is beginning to seem more like a health food (high flavanol cocao on aisle 3!). Eating a little bit of chocolate a few times a week can be not only good for the heart but your soul too. The trick is to make the most of that little bit of chocolate, while dialing down the fatty, sugary ingredients chocolate so often it keeps company with.
Aroma, in particular, is very telling-if cocoa smells rich and chocolaty, it will probably taste that way. Don't be fooled by color. A dark cocoa might lead you to think it's more chocolaty, but Dutch-process cocoa is dark and it is less chocolaty.
Taste, of course, is the final word - but if the idea of tasting a bit of dry unsweetened cocoa turns you off, make a syrup of cocoa, water and a little sugar (not too much: use agave if you've got it!) and compare it with other brands.
Any positive effects of regular chocolate eating have to be tempered with the reality that it packs plenty of sugar, fatty calories. All those extra calories can quickly pile on extra pounds, easily undoing any good these flavanols might do. Bottom line: it's still better to keep on thinking of chocolate as a treat, not a treatment.
Scharffen Berger cocoa powder and chocolate is my favorite brand, but there are so many on the market I encourage you to taste and compare. As for chocolate bars and other treats, try "Endangered Species", found at Whole Foods and most health food stores. Endangered Species brand chocolate uses beet sugar instead of cane sugar which absorbs into the blood stream slower and is more natural. "Endangered Species" also ensures ethical and fair trade with cocoa farmers as well as 10% of their net profits go towards habitat conservation and saving endangered species.

Cooked Oysters on Fennel with Lemon Butter
Forget about the Hallmark card and last minute harried gift search this year! Get down and dirty and cook for your lover! And, we've got the perfect recipe courtesy of Christophe Happillion. He's known around this neck of the woods as the Oyster Gourmet . "The idea beyond cooking or eat oysters for Valentine's Day is that they are sensual and full of mystery. Eating an oyster is a leap of faith into the unknown, like a new relationship." Christophe adds, "They are also widely accepted as an aphrodisiac which can be a good way to spark a conversation and who knows what else for the evening!"
But the Oyster impresario cautions us not to just think of oysters on Valentine's Day. But rather think of them more like a staple, "I like the fact that when you learn how to use a compound butter on oysters you can do many variations simply by changing the ingredients. In my opinion, every one should keep some in the fridge to put on: steak, fish, pasta, saute vegetables, and toast thoughout the year."
photo left: Chef Christophe Happillion
Chop the butter into uniform chunks and put them in a bowl cover outside the fridge. When the butter is soft (30 minutes) mach it with the back of a fork adding the ingredients fennel seed, chopped shallot, lemon zest check that the ingredients are uniformly distributed in the butter.
Put a half inch of rock salt on an oven sheet. Put the 6 oysters cup down on the bed of salt then put the oven sheet and the oysters in the oven at 420 F for 20 minutes. They will then pop open. Let them cool down and then remove the top part of the shell. Drain the jus out of the shell then apply with a knife or a fork a generous amount of the compound butter that you just made on and around the flesh of the oysters in half shell. Next put them back on there bed of rock salt and put the sheet under broiler for 5 minutes.
Serve the oyster when hot.
Purchasing tips: When purchasing oysters look for tightly closed shells, clean and unbroken shells, and a fresh ocean scent. Carry your shellfish in an ice box or insulate bag. To store shellfish, cover with a moist cloth and refrigerate in open container. Never store oysters in salt water, in airtight bags. Beware of strong fishy or rotten eggs odor.
Seedless Kishus from the Churchill Brenneis Orchard
I bought some amazing tangerines at the Ojai Farmers' Market over the weekend. I purchased Seedless Kishus from the Churchill Brenneis Orchard in the Ojai Valley. These small babies, about the size of a Clementine, are tiny flavor bombs. They're also very easy to peel, completely seedless and as one of the Orchard's owners puts it, "children prefer them to candy." I put this glass bowl filled with the tangerines out on the kitchen center island Sunday and by Monday evening there were only four left. My two sons and husband had devoured them. So how can you get your hands on some?
They're available in February in selected stores, by mail order and at the Ojai Farmers' Market. The stores that carry them are New Seasons in Portland, Monterey Market in Berkeley, Diablo Foods in Lafayette, Central Market in Texas and the Bi-Rite in San Francisco.
If you aren't near one of those stores, you can order on Churchill's website by clicking on "Order Fruit."
photo left: Jim Churchill, one of the owners
The orchard owners also have a booth at the Ojai Farmers' Market Sundays from 9am to 1pm. Remember the harvest if complete in February, so if you want these fantastic fruits, don't wait!
Now, if you miss the kishus - there's more fab fruit from Churchill Orchards. Ojai Pixies come down the pike next. They'll be available from early March through May, and are much more widely distributed. You will find the Pixies in upscale markets around the country, as well as at on Churchill's website and at numerous farmers' markets in Los Angeles, Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties.
Jim Churchill, by the way, told me something interesting about citrus: mandarins and tangerines are one and the same. Who knew?
There's nothing like a great caesar salad when you are craving lotsa flavor or serving something spicy like my Tangy Tex Mex Chili. With Super Bowl Sunday coming up, I thought I'd share with you one of my favorite recipes. This particular one is terrific for a football gathering because the salad is served in small, toasted bread cups. The cups basically take the place of the croutons and, in doing so, make the salad a finger food hors d'oeuvre. Who really wants to wash dishes after a football bash?
In keeping with the spicy dish theme, the dressing I'm sharing has a delicious kick to it. It's a concoction of my friend Kathy Couturie's. She served it while we were visiting her beautiful historic home in Ojai (the famous Libbey estate) and I ate so much of it, I hardly had room for anything else!
Kathy adapted it from a recipe she got from the old City restaurant on LaBrea in LA. Kathy omits egg and whole anchovies, which are in the original recipe. Instead she uses anchovy paste and she adds some really savory seasoning salts described below.
I'm giving you the recipe as Kathy makes it, but if you are making my bread cups to serve the salad in, forgo the croutons in her recipe.
Ojai Caesar Salad
In a blender, combine 1/2 cup high quality olive oil with lots of cracked
black pepper and a squeeze of anchovy paste. Blend for a while, about 1
minute. Add 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan (I use Kraft or Trader Joe's), and blend
for about 15 seconds.
Reserve 1/3 cup of this mixture for use in making croutons later.
In a 2+ cup mixing cup or a bowl, combine:
3 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 Tablespoon dry mustard
1-2 Tablespoons celery salt (I use "Coastal Goods" - really fabulous
seasoning salts)
1-2 cloves garlic, pressed
3-4 shakes Worcestershire
2-3 shakes Tabasco sauce
Slowly whisk the remaining olive oil mixture into the vinegar mixture to
make salad dressing. It's okay to keep in 'frig until 1/2 hour prior to using.
I take dressing out of 'frig to get it more liquid-y prior to serving. It tends
to get pretty thick when refrigerated for long. Dressing is better if
you make it in the morning and it sits on itself in the 'frig all day.
Make croutons: in a bowl, combine 2-3 Cups bread cubes (we use ciabatta)
with 1/3 cup olive oil mixture that you reserved from the blender. Bread
cubes should be pretty evenly coated with olive oil mixture. Toast croutons
in a toaster oven, or pan-fry in a skillet until brown and crispy. Reserve
until serving.
To serve:
Ideally use organic Romaine lettuce.
Wash, spin and tear lettuce to size you like.
Whole leaves, if you have smaller Romaine, make a beautiful salad (a la
Zuni Café in San Francisco).
Either drizzle the dressing over whole leaves, or toss torn lettuce w/the
dressing. Add freshly ground pepper, grated good quality Parmesan (NOT
Kraft/TJ's!), and croutons. Toss all together and serve!
Linda's Bread Cups
Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
Get some Wonder Bread. Yeah, I know it feels weird to get white bread, but do it because the wheat or 9 grain doesn't work.
Press a water glass down on bread and cut out circle. Put circle in muffin tin.
Brush with olive oil. I use organic Garlic Gold Oil or the organic Garlic Gold Nuggets marinated in olive oil sold at the SheSez store.
Garlic Gold Trio, $19 - buy now at the SheSez store!
Bake for 40 - 45 minutes until cups are golden and crispy. Take one out and make sure it is not chewy. It should be crispy like a crouton. Everyone's oven, it seems, requires a different time on baking these cups. So really check these at around 40 minutes and pop in for another 10 or 20 if needed.
Let cups cool and then fill with salad. I tend to really chop up lettuce leaves - almost like a chopped salad - because they fit better in the cups.
Grate Parmesan cheese on top.

A rose garden overlooking the ocean in La Jolla Farms
If you want to add some rose bushes to your garden, now is the time. You can get dirt cheap bare root roses that, if planted now, will blossom like mad in spring and summer. I know it's hard to believe that these ugly, random looking stalks without a leaf in sight will transform into gorgeous plants in just a few months, but that is indeed what happens.
And, don't be intimidated the the whole bare root thing. They're super easy to plant and most have instructions right on the package. Ask someone at the nursery to help you pick out a good one - typically one that has three thick stalks pointed in different directions. Two things to think about before you check out my favorite rose varieties:
Golden Celebration
This has magnificent 5 inch blooms and grows 5-6 feet tall. The blossoms are rounded and compact. This variety of rose looks beautiful when the sunlight catches it. Just a few flowers in a vase make a serious statement.
photo left: Golden Celebration
Polka flourishing by a white fountain in La Jolla
A gorgeous climber that pops flowers incessantly in spring and summer. Loves the sea air in summer.
The heavy blossoms of Eden outside my son's bedroom
A pink climber with large creamy pink blossoms that slightly resemble a peony. They aren't terrific though in a vase. The blossoms tend to hang - which is fine on the plant - but not so great dangling down in a container. Nice fragrance. These do really well in the valley and on the westside, where summers are cooler.
I love the multitudes of hues on About Face
About Face
A multi-colored tangerine rose. Super vibrant and an unusual shade that resembles an orange-hued Key West sunrise.
Honey Djon
This is a rare butterscotch-colored grandiflora rose by Weeks Roses in Upland, California. The color is exotic and unusual. Creamy butterscotch with an unusual matt finish. You get fewer flowers than a typical garden variety rose, but the ones you do get are show stoppers.
Weeks' Honey Djon rose on left
This is an all around favorite of mine. No matter where I've lived in California, I've always made sure to plant a few Double Delights as soon as I moved in. The base of the flower is cream-colored with hot pink or fuchsia edges and even a hint of soft pink inside. From a distance they can look pink and the color changes as the blossoms age. They wind up sometimes a soft pink. The best feature of Double Delight? The smell. Your house will fill with an intoxicating fragrance when you cut a bouquet.
Artisanal Cheese Platter with dried & fresh figs and dried hibiscus flowers
Remember a couple of weeks ago I told the Oprah story - about how I was a Top 20 Finalist for Your OWN Show - the search to discover the next Oprah for her new network? You might remember I took a gorgeous cheese platter to the first day of the audition (pictured above) as one of the shows I was pitching was a TV version of SheSez. Nothin' like struttin' your stuff - right?
The platter is as striking as it is delicious - and best of all super easy to make. That day - the day of the audition - I actually made a "how-to" video tape you can watch below. Can you tell how pumped I was? Whenever I'm nervous I do something kinda funny on camera - I repeat one word over and over. On that day - it was "gorgeous." Hilarious!
large shallow tray - about two inches deep (Crate & Barrel)
French Paper Leaves (Beverly Hills Cheese Store)
2 Baguettes
1 Artisanal Olive Loaf (La BreaBakery - available by special order)
Fresh Calamarnia Figs (farmer's market - in season only)
Black Mission Figs (Trader Joe's)
3 different types of hard cheese - cow/sheep/goat
With regards to the cheese, yes, you can go to a gourmet food shop or cheese store where they offer exquisite products. It is fun to taste items and make discoveries. But the price tags can be wildly high. One of the 2 x 2 chunks I bought for this platter was $50! So, often I'll pick up one or two there - but have the third be of a more inexpensive type. For example, you can get a terrific aged Dubliner cheese from Costco which feels very gourmet. Or you can get an great aged cheddar just about anywhere.
And, you don't have to have all the ingredients. Just a few will do. I made this in July but you can't get fresh figs of any kind right now. But this platter works just fine with dried figs. I got mine from Trader Joe's.
By the way, the cheese platter was a huge hit with the Your OWN Show crew. In particular, they were captivated by the dried hibiscuses - they're smashing to look at and a taste sensation.
A big thank you to Barrie Lynn aka The Cheese Impresario - who taught me how to make this platter. I have learned so much from this delightful gal - on cheese and wine and everything in between. Check out her website - and think of her when you need a cool twist for a party. Barrie does events!
I skipped Neiman's First Call this year - and all the other good sales - for that matter. Instead, I decided I was going to cozy up with a good cup of joe and do my end of season sale shopping on-line. I specifically pinpointed the downtime-filled week between Christmas and New Year's and marked my calendar to be seated in front of the computer promptly at 9am - the kick off time for Gilt.com. I was giddy with optimism at the bevy of deals I intended to get. However, each time I hit "buy," I ended up frustrated and ultimately empty handed. Despite my early start time, every item I wanted was already sold out. It happened exactly 5 times during the week (M-F) and each time I hit "buy" no later than 9:05. What was I doing wrong I wondered?
I did join the "wait list" for each sold-out item, but I was never notified that anything became available.
Completely frustrated (hell hath no fury like an unsatisfied fashionista!), I shot an an email to Alexandra Wilkis Wilson, one of the founders of Gilt, who I'd met at the kick party for Gilt City this past fall. Specifically, I wanted to know what, if anything I was doing wrong, and how I might shop on Gilt with better results.
Here are her suggestions:
Turns out I'm already doing 3 out of 5 of Alexandra's suggestions - but I will try the other two: basically starting from the bottom of the sale and browsing upwards and taking some time on-line and checking out the designer's goods before the sale so I can more quickly spot exactly what I want. I do think sizes 2-4 are tougher to get as my friends who wear 8-12 seem to have better luck at getting what they want.
I'm going to give it all another try after I pay off all the Christmas bills (mid-June I figure....) Let me know how these tips work out for you!

A respiratory series was a treatment for individuals who had undergone severe damage to their lungs.
In 2371, while trying to restore Neelix's breathing after his lungs were stolen by the Vidiians, The Doctor asked his medical assistant Lieutenant Tom Paris if he had been taught how to perform a respiratory series during his two semesters of biochemistry at Starfleet Academy. Paris replied that he hadn't, so The Doctor did it on Neelix himself. (VOY: "Phage")

The release of Chambers creates more opportunities for some talented young receivers. Malcom Floyd, who moved into the starting lineup ahead of Chambers last week, will now be a permanent fixture across from Vincent Jackson.
WR Legedu Naanee
Kevin Terrell/Getty
"There are a number of things that went into the decision," Norv Turner said. "The reason we're able to do this is the play of Malcom and the way Legedu Naanee is performing. Certainly there are a number of other things in terms of our football team that we need to address. Defensively and in the kicking game... we need to get some help."
Speaking of defense and special teams, the roster move creates space for the Chargers to add a linebacker, given that Kevin Burnett (ankle) and Tim Dobbins (knee) are ailing. This leaves the team with only two healthy inside linebackers, Stephen Cooper and Brandon Siler, and zaps San Diego of a lot of its punch on special teams.
Sunday against the Raiders, KR Jonathan Holland averaged over 29 yards per return. Two games prior, Denver Broncos KR Eddie Royal returned a pair of kicks for scores against the Chargers.
What's interesting is San Diego's season-long trend of keeping younger players at the expense of veterans. At the end of the preseason, the Chargers cut veteran offensive linemen L.J. Shelton and Kynan Forney and opted for Brandyn Dombrowski and Tyronne Green, respectively.
On Oct. 14, the Chargers cut starting SS Clinton Hart and replaced him in the starting line-up with rookie sixth-round pick Kevin Ellison.
Now, the Chargers cut Chambers, who has 111 career starts, even though the four players behind him on the depth chart have less than 20 starts combined.
The message has been delivered loud and clear to an underachieving team: the veterans must play up to their potential or be replaced by someone who will.
What are fans saying about Chambers' release? Find out in the message boards.

JERUSALEM (Aug. 30)
Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion will be requested by President Ben-Zvi to undertake the task of forming a new Government after the convening of the newly elected Knesset, Israel's Parliament, on Monday, it was learned here today.
The Prime Minister has refrained from indicating any preferences among the possible partners for his Mapai party in his next coalition, but there have been considerable informal contacts among the various parties in anticipation of the formal negotiations to come.
Mapai feelers among prospective coalition partners were reported today to have indicated a demand for a coalition much wider than that required simply for a merely comfortable majority of the 120 Knesset seats.
Neither the three religious parties, nor the two leftist parties–Mapam and Achdut Avodah–who together with Mapai could muster 64 and 63 of the 120 seats, would feel comfortable in a narrow coalition with Mapai, their leaders have indicated. Those leaders have said openly that the "national interest" demands a government with the widest possible base.
The new Liberal party, which netted 17 seats–three more than the total of seats held by the Progressives and General Zionists which joined to create the new party–figured actively in the inter-party soundings. The new party was expected to have a leading role if a wide coalition is established. In addition to the traditional Justice Ministry, the Liberal party might be wooed with an offer of the Ministry of Education or even of Foreign Affairs, it was reported.
However, there is strong pressure within Mapai against any yielding on the principle of an absolute Mapai majority in any new government. One school of thought was reported to favor a strategy of courting the leftists and Liberal party at the expense of the religious groups who would be left out of the projected coalition, while another Mapai group favors dropping the Liberal party. The latter Mapai group has recommended that the much-disputed. Ministry for Religious Affairs should go to a non-party neutral personality.

The owner of an espresso bar on the NSW south coast, who chalked a controversial message about Australia Day on a window blackboard has been inundated with death threats since a photo of the sign went viral.
The owner of Mister Jones in Bermagui said his business has been targeted by vandals and his voicemail flooded with threats after a local man photographed the sign "Yes, we're open on national dickhead day" – a reference to them being open for business on Australia Day, January 26 - and uploaded it to Facebook on Monday.
The photo was then shared on the Meanwhile in Australia Facebook page and as of Thursday morning, had been shared more than 3500 times and liked more than 7000 times.
The sign had only been on display for around 15 minutes and was placed there "on a whim", Matt - whose surname Fairfax Media has chosen not to publish - explained in a lengthy Facebook post on Wednesday.
He said the response had been "disproportionate", with vandals having even drilled the door locks out and glued the windows shut to attempt to prevent him from opening on January 26.
"Over the last days, messages have been cascading through my email account, containing unprintable abuse and describing group plans for physical attacks," he said.
"My voicemail account has mercifully reached capacity and I've long stopped listening to the graphic and explicit death threats. These messages have been much more chilling than the thousands posted online."
Matt said the deluge of vitriol has "far surpassed" any meaning that could be reasonably inferred from his "simple chalked jibe".
"The provocative blackboard seems innocuous now, entirely disproportionate to the scale of the hatred. Indeed, taken on face value, the blackboard was possibly the most Australian thing that one could write about 'Australia Day', in a country that claims to be proud of its 'larrikin' irreverence and self-effacing humour.
"Over the past days, my espresso bar has been used as proxy for Indigenous Australians, Islam, refugees, homosexuality, class, Asia, immigration and much more.
"The bloodthirsty outrage, white anxiety and bitter intolerance was not a necessary response to the blackboard. For two days the blackboard has simply been a convenient repository."
Rob Grimstone of Bermagui took the original photo of the sign because he "was disgusted in it as an Australian".
"It's just not right," he said.
Mr Grimstone said he had also received a call saying radio presenter Ray Hadley mentioned the incident.
"I never expected it to go as far as it has, but I'm glad it's gone viral," he said.
But all of the publicity may have actually worked in Mister Jones' favour.
Matt said while many of the online comments online "gloated" over the "inevitable" loss of business and the "demise" of the espresso bar - which he runs as a side project in his art studio - he actually recorded his biggest Australia Day crowd on record.
"Many people travelled from as far as Batemans Bay in the north and Merimbula in the south to drink a coffee and have a laugh. Among these supporters, we were particularly happy to welcome esteemed members from some strong, local, and largely marginalised communities," he wrote.
"Arguably, [my blackboard] offended those who experienced a moment of self-recognition. As these individuals continue to overreact, the sign only becomes truer.
"The shoe clearly fit, and they wore it."

NeoScope: Sourceless Formation Evaluation while Drilling
Tuesday, 12th January 2016
Avoiding chemical sources saves time and money logging a directional well in Egypt
New sourceless measurement capabilities have become available in a unique logging-while-drilling (LWD) service based on pulsed neutron generator (PNG) technology. The NeoScope formation evaluation while drilling service provides a comprehensive sourceless petrophysical description of the formation in the shortest multifunction LWD collar available. Eliminating the need for chemical sources reduces drilling risk and handling costs, and also avoids potential delays related to local permitting and regulations.

Though Those Darlins and Diarrhea Planet may be polar opposites on the band name spectrum—cute vs. scatological—there're some undeniable similarities. Both outfits have the same Tennessee roots, and neither should be judged by their name. Those Darlins are not your average sweethearts, and Diarrhea Planet is anything but shitty.
Garage rockers Diarrhea Planet made an explosive (teehee) entrance. The audience thrashed to match, as circle pits swirled open to welcome the six-piece to the stage. Lots of material from the band's sophomore effort, 2013's I'm Rich Beyond Your Wildest Dreams, made the setlist. The layer-upon-layer of six-stringed goodness in the ultra-catchy Separations made for a sonically soaring cacophony. When it comes to strings, DP seems to stick to "the more the merrier" mantra. Four guitars push the riffage factor into extreme territory, though those tipping-point interludes are where DP really shines.
Midway through the set, frontman Jordan Smith waxed poetic about punk rock: "Anyone can be punk. Your six year-old niece can be a punk." And towards the end of it all, in true punk fashion, Diarrhea Planet stepped up the mayhem another notch. Smith urged the audience to break a crowd-surfing record, and they did their darndest. Airborne patrons made their way to the stage, diving back into the audience. Guitarist Emmett Miller scaled a balcony railing with axe in hand and proceeded to shred from atop. Panties were thrown on stage, which Smith promptly donned as a hat.
Gritty, country-tinged rock 'n' rollers Those Darlins took the stage sans frills, moving straight into Be Your Bro. "I just wanna run and play in the dirt with you/ You just wanna stick it in," crooned frontwoman Jessi Zazu, aka Jessi Darlin. Pixie cut-coiffed and standing at around five-feet tall, she's unexpectedly brazen and confident, a true presence. She singled out audience members with direct eye contact, challenging them to hold her steadfast gaze. In this way, Those Darlins kept things intense in an entirely different sense than Diarrhea Planet's manic, guitar-flipping, bells and whistles-laden set. Those Darlins maintained a level of extreme intimacy, unapologetically broaching the personal.
The stand-out moment was That Man off 2013's Blur The Line, the quartet's third studio release. Zazu's theatrics included batting eyelashes and a high-pitched, over-emphasized Southern drawl. Zazu and guitarist/sometimes-singer Nikki Kvarnes played off each other, synergistically multiplying the power packed.
The encore brought two members of Diarrhea Planet back on stage, allowing Kvarnes to take a "break" from her guitar duties to dominate the mic. Intense in extremely different ways, Those Darlins and Diarrhea Planet make quite the Nashville (touring) power-couple.

I love it! So very very fast and wonderful! My husband make me try on new laptop, he say "shame on you for only windows for so long". He helped put it on me new laptop. Salix goes very fast and so wonderful!. Many many good free programs there too. I learn useing it very soon. Most fastest laptop in the world! I think it may be magical. No windows now ever. I love salix! Thank you.
Outstanding!!! We've been using Salix installations exclusively since the beginning (2010) and we now have an installed base of 1400+ servers and workstations, every one of them exclusively running a version of Salix. Not a single issue or a failure in 6 years. - Enough said! So, look to Salix... and live and learn. - Slackware+Salix, that is how it's done! Again; Outstanding!!! p.s. Gapan at al, we owe you guys at least a house, each :-)
Please keep this project alive...
I was able to install the system, although the installer was not pretty, but understandable. After installation I was prompted to enter a username and password, although when installing I ticked the "log in automatically without entering a password". Unfortunately the keyboard layout was in Russian, and the username and password I have in English. Therefore, further system I use could not. Я смог установить систему, хотя установщик был не симпатичный, но понятный. После установки мне было предложено ввести логин и пароль, хотя при установке я поставил галочку "входить автоматически без ввода пароля". К сожалению раскладка клавиатуры была на русском языке, а логин и пароль у меня на английском. Поэтому дальше системой я пользоваться не смог.
I started with Slackware in 1999. Ive been using Salix for about 3 years. I hate all other distros that aren't Slackware and friends. Salix is an amazing combination of Slackware, simplicity, and automation. I still like to compile my software form time to time; however, I also like the repository system for lazy days. I don't know if you've ever installed mplayer on Slackware 11 or earlier.... hunting down every required package and prerequisite to those prerequisites.... spending the entire night configuring and compiling code... Yeah, aint no one got time for that. So slapt-get is is pretty sweet. One program per task is a very nice way to minimize bloat and reduce the actual distro. Since Salix is so backwards compatible with Slackware, SlackBuilds work flawlessly. As a structured distro, Salix is pretty much identical to how I would setup Slackware through custom install. Xfce is my favorite, I typically only install one program per task anyways... I couldn't ask for a better distro. If you haven't tried Salix,

If you're looking for an all in one combo amp to get the job done, you'll definitely want to have a look at the 5150III 2x12 50W Tube Guitar Combo Amplifier.

With flexible features that offer wild versatility, this amp head is also built to handle the road, so you know it's going to perform every single night of your next tour.

Honda Motor Co. Ltd.'s wholly owned subsidiary, Honda R&D Co. Ltd., reshuffles its research and development functions.
Honda says the realignment was needed due to the number of products under development and their increasing technological complexity.
"The new structure will be launched both in response to this situation and to prepare for further expansion of business in the future," Honda says, adding the new structure will allow for greater initiative, better definition of roles and "bold delegation of authority" among employees.
As part of the new structure, existing R&D facilities in Japan, including Asaka, Wako, and Tochigi, will be organized by function instead of region.
The centers now are known as the Motorcycle Development Center; Automobile Development Center; Power Products Development Center; Aero Engine Development Center; and Basic Technology Research.
Planning, product development, technology development and administrative offices will be housed at each of the centers, Honda says.
Operational decisions now will be made by the head of each office at each center, instead of the head of the center.
This will allow for an "autonomous operational structure through which each office can make more decisions," Honda says.
Furthermore, Honda aims to continue separating the Honda and Acura brands at the Automobile Development Center.
Honda already has announced the Acura luxury marque will get a separate U.S. design studio. (See related story: Acura to Get Own Design Studio )

Published: September 24, 2008 at 8:28 PMThis is terrible news. I was eagerly awaiting my chance to visit this park. I hope this is not a sign of things to come. Hopefully, this terrible economy doesn't affect Disney's lofty future plans for their parks or the upcoming Harry Potter island.
Published: September 24, 2008 at 10:22 PMI don't care how bad a year this might have been economically (and, BTW, many other parks did quite well this year), not having the capital on hand to make it through the first year of operation is a sign of terribly myopic management.
Of course, long-time readers of this site will know that the investors behind Hard Rock Park weren't the sharpest tools in the shed, lashing out at TPI for calling B.S. on the park's inflated attendance projections.
Hmmm, let's see. Who turned out to be right, and who turned out to be wrong?
Published: September 25, 2008 at 7:43 AMI'm just dumbfounded that the park didn't understand that almost any new business needs to have the capital on hand to operate for at least the first few years in the red before opening. Geez, that's just common practice (or is for businesses that make it).
When the talk started about the closing, I really didn't believe it, because I thought there was truly no way the park's mgt could have believed they'd have some major profits the very first season. I figured it was hype, and hoped that it would stir some interest in the park.
I hope they do figure out how to re-open. Myrtle Beach was something of a repeat destination for my family when I was a kid, and though I'm sure it's changed a lot since then, it's a great beach with a great state park (nice cheap way to stay, either camp or stay in a lodge if you can get one), and plenty of resorts, too. HRP sounds like it was/is a nice addition to the area's offerings. Not a destination park itself (yet), maybe, but a nice day when you need a break from the sand and surf.
Published: September 25, 2008 at 8:35 AMHow incredibly unlucky.
My family and I were planning to attend HRP next Friday (October 3rd). So much for those plans. Oh well. Saving money is a good thing, right?
Like a lot of others, I find this hard to believe for the same reasons as everyone else. Why would you open a theme park (or any business) without having adequate funds? It just doesn't make sense. Perhaps someone needs to go back to business school and update their degree.
In other news, I'm not too shocked on account of this year's economic disasters. When the cost of living goes up and the wages remain the same, people are going to cut back on their spending (obviously).
Published: September 25, 2008 at 9:59 AMI have to agree with TH Creative. When I first heard about the park, I was somewhat leery. Then when I saw the offerings, which in my opinion seemed minor, I didn't think they would do too well. An area of a park themed to this, I absolutely agree. But an entire new park? I guess I wasn't buying it either, from jump street. You have to give people reasons to come back multiple times and from what I've seen and read everywhere, this park just doesn't have it. Hopefully they'll be able to rebound but I don't see it happening.
Published: September 25, 2008 at 10:58 AMI see a promotional opportunity here for Carowinds, Dollywood and other parks in the southeast. Bring us your unused, and now possibly useless, Hard Rock Park advanced-purchase ticket (or annual pass) for free or reduced-price admission to "our" park.
The promotional campaign alone would remind people that HRP is closed and that the sponsoring park remains open for business, potentially influencing tourists' decisions for this year and next.
It'd be a tough blow to HRP's chances for recovery, but this is a competitive business.
Published: September 25, 2008 at 12:39 PMI'm sad to see this happen. The park was great, but at least it done this before it hurt itself worse.
The theme works well for a WHOLE park. There is such a wide variety of rock music or music in general that makes it work.
I can see the mistake of anticipating more visitors per year than what they got. Considering Myrtle Beach is one of the top tourist destinations and doing research to see how many people typically go to amusement parks, the projections can be understandable. If you consider how many people were now closer to an amusement park (Carowinds is 4 hours from MB) and the number of tourists that go to MB, the projections are relatively acceptable. It was an understandable mistake (to those who think it through), but at least they will open up next year.
Great park, go to it if you get the chance in 09.
Published: September 25, 2008 at 12:05 PMit just wasn't a great park. it wasn't the type of area where people go to for theme parks. location, rides, and development all contributed to its early downfall.
Published: September 25, 2008 at 12:12 PMHRP just got some good national PR by having a spot on the Wheel of Fortune last Monday during Teen Best Friends week. A pair of kids won a trip to Myrtle Beach and the park.
HRP is an excellent park, I visited last May. While it is short on attractions they excel in delivering excellent guest service, keeping the park clean, hosting great live entertainment, and keeping a great theme throughout the park. I encourage all of you who aren't within a few hours drive to make a trip to Myrtle Beach and see this park for yourself when it reopens in Spring '09.
I stand by my claim that I've made on the TPI message boards that I think Myrtle Beach has the makings of a great theme park destination similar to Southern California and Central Florida. I am confident that HRP management will learn from their mistakes and have a stronger product in the future.
Published: September 25, 2008 at 1:49 PMI just noticed something interesting in HRP CEO Stephen Goodwin's affidavit for the bankrupcy. It states that the park only had $19.7 million in ticket sales. If you divide that by the $50 gate ticket price the park only had about 394,000 total visitors from opening in April to closing in September. That gives me a very rough estimate of around 2500 visitors a day. No major theme park can stay afloat with such dismal figures.
Published: September 25, 2008 at 1:31 PMI think in hindsight it appears that Myrtle Beach was not the spot for a $50 a ticket theme park. Most visitors want to just relax on the beach and enjoy cheap tourist trap attractions. One could argue that the park would have been more successful in Central Florida. Nevertheless, the economy clearly had an effect.
Published: September 25, 2008 at 1:58 PMAn amusement park depends upon repeat customers and season ticket sales. HRP had to attract one-time visitors vacationing at Myrtle Beach which has WAY too many competing attractions. Additionally, the average family visiting MBSC isn't able/willing to plop down several hundred for a few hours when they've already plopped down thousands for the trip. (MBSC is the mecca for middle-class beach-goers. If you have $$$'s you'll be down at Hilton Head!) We went to HRP in August. (We drove down from Oak Island NC, for the day.) We had a great time. We left with absolutely no intention of returning (for at least a few years when, hopefully, a couple of coasters would be added). Other thoughts: Amusement parks at beaches should be "on-the-beach". HRP is in a run-down looking area. And, of course, the downturn in the economy and high gas prices, etc. came along at the wrong time for HRP. It is a shame. I'm glad we got to go (see my review on TPI). I hope they can make a come-back!
Published: September 26, 2008 at 11:13 AMThere are lots of issues going on here. The advertising was not good; let's face it, it stunk. I knew tons of people who went to Myrtle who didn't know it was even there.
Yes, the economy but if your park is run well, it has done well. Cedar Fair reported increases in attendance for this year. Heck, Disney keeps increasing prices - not a sign of a struggling park.
I really do still want to ride some of those coasters!
Published: September 26, 2008 at 11:21 AMI'll Chime in from the tourist industry.
Published: September 26, 2008 at 11:40 AMI think it was just a bad idea in all to build the full Hard Rock Park installment the way it was built. The park idea was a relevant idea at the time but put into an irrelevant location. Yes Myrtle Beach has a few busy weeks in the year, among them being spring break when students from all around the northern U.S. and Canada come to visit the city. This still isn't a good enough to keep a theme park afloat for a full business year.
Personally I think, even though there would be much more competition, the park would have done better if it would have been a collaborative installment of Universal Orlando and Hard Rock on the Universal Resort grounds in Florida.
Attendance for sure would have been better since when you are planing your vacation to Orlando and planing on visiting Disney and Universal, you might as well stop by the Hard Rock Park which in this case would have been a third park at Universal Resort. The location would have been more relevant, and the idea would stay relevant.
Take a look at Universal Orlando, they are putting in a new roller coaster in Universal, and what is the theme? Music
I don't know that my idea would do as good as I think it would, but I believe it sure would have done better than the Myrtle Beach location.
It's just sad to see a potentially great park go under.
Published: September 26, 2008 at 2:01 PMTold ya so. [Six Flags Over Georgia offers free tickets for HRP passholders.]
Another thing to consider: Obviously, what HRP offered this year wasn't enough to keep the park out of the hole. And if anyone thinks next year's economy will be better than this year's, well, sorry, but I hope you brought enough of what you're drinking to share.
So HRP needs a new top-shelf attraction to draw bigger crowds next year, if it is to reopen successfully. But parks in Chapter 11 tend not to have access to the capital they need to build such attractions.
Looks like this one might be done. So... where does the Led Zep B&M end up?
Published: September 26, 2008 at 7:50 PMNot to be mean about it, but I hope HRP rebounds great and proves you wrong. The attitude of 'I told you so' is a bit childish if you ask me.
Published: September 28, 2008 at 10:47 AMWhat if the only rock music you like is Pink Floyd? Did they even have a ride based on The Wall? That could have been pretty trippy, but if you are not into rock music that much... A whole park??? How about a Music Park, with a Rock Themed Area, a Country Themed Area, a Classical Themed area...
It amazes me that many roller coaster parks actually close for the Winter when the weather is great, closed on weekdays when the weather is awesome. And close permanently because not enough people showed up...
But Disneyland is open every day, too crowded most of those days, and no one builds parks with quality rides like Disneyland except Disney. Why does no one get that???
Why cant anyone figure out that Disneyland is the most popular park because of really awesome slow rides, dark rides, huge rides with realistic animatronics, good music, and effects throughout? It boggles my mind!!!
Published: September 28, 2008 at 11:16 AMJeff,
The park is not all rock. There is a section for country also. The theme does work for a whole park considering there are so many themes you can use for rock music. Not to mention, so many generations of rock too. Out of curiosity, can you please explain how the comparison between HRP and Disney is even a fair comparison?
Published: September 28, 2008 at 12:21 PMFrom a local non-theme park background perspective...
The Hard Rock Park was a good "start" of a theme park. Where (I think) management and marketing went wrong, though...
1. They didn't market at ALL in Myrtle Beach's "drive-in" markets. Folks who visit Myrtle Beach come from Columbia, Greenville, Spartanburg, SC, Augusta and Savannah, Ga., Charlotte, Fayatteville, Raleigh and Greensboro, NC, plus a LARGE contingent of folks from West Verginia and western Pennsylvania. There was no marketing of the park in these markets, until it was too late into the travel season. Knowing the Myrtle Beach tourism market better would've helped.
2. They snubbed the local community far too much; not having a local discount and cutting the hours of local kids working there BEFORE cutting international kids was horrible p.r. Having a "sneak preview" weekend where locals could see the unfinished park (with MANY un-rideable rides) for "only" $40 in late April did nothing to convince locals that the park was worth $40 admission - let ALONE the $50 ticket the HRP was hell-bent on charging.
3. Which leads us to the price-tag; $50 per person per-day was WAY too much for a theme park without a larger compliment of rides and attractions; and I'm not just talking about rollercoasters, either. I could SEE $50 per person per day if each day there was a major concert act performing in the venue each day, too. That IS, after all part of the "theme" of the "theme park," right? Which leads me to entertainment...
4. There weren't enough big-name acts brought into the park to convince the everyday tourist that $50 was a worthy price of admission. This year's lineup included (not counting the $250 Eagles or Moody Blues dates, because those were seperate events with higher ticket fees)... K.C. & the Sunshine Band, Sister Hazle, Kid Rock, Bowling For Soup. My memory doesn't allow me to remember ALL the "marginal" or "big name" acts they brought, but I'm not forgetting many. They missed out on hosting the VANS Warped Tour when it was available for 'em, and I'd heard through the grapevine that the HRP turned them down because they didn't think they'd be able to handle a large-scale concert like that. Excuse me? That's what your "theme" park was supposed to be all about. Rock. Music. Entertainment. Folks gladly paid $50 and more to go to concerts - TENS of thousands attended the Warped Tour in Charlotte. The HRP never once (that I can recall) had a "tens of thousands" day this summer, though they "projected" 20,000 per day capabilities.
The park itself, isn't all that bad, really. There are enough rides for kids and teens, and it could stand to add another marquee coaster or two (another $20-40 million for such rides would TRULY upgrade the place), but all-in-all, the rides were good, and the shows were, too. But the HRP kept reminding us they were't a "ride" park, but a "theme" park, and that being the case, there wasn't enough "rock" in the Hard "Rock" Park to live up to their "theme."
I hope they bounce back and find the infusion of cash they need to bring this park up-to-snuff; they have a good product that needs to be just a "little" better, I think; their marketing COMPLETELY let them down, though, and their management should listen more to those who know better than they do in matters like 'what works in Myrtle Beach,' 'where Myrtle Beach visitors come from,' 'what ticket fees work and what fees don't,' and most importantly, listen to your theme park veterans on-staff. Many who knew this park's shortcomings all along are no longer with you, but they were sounding the alarms early on, and most of them were ignored or pushed out of the way.
Best of luck!
Published: September 30, 2008 at 6:22 AMHard Rock Park..good idea gone bad! But heres what suprises me. How did the Hard Rock parent company allow it to happen? Youd figure they want to preserve the brand? So they should have had some control over it form the get go. Dont yea think?


text: Because of stature, both physically and monetarily, I've been typically trying on suits from the tailored-fit section of BR and Ludlow department of J.Crew. With my very slim build (I need a 36S), both types of suits fit me perfectly, however I was hoping to get another suit that was more high end and canvassed. I've read so many stories on SF as well as other men's forums where people just happen to "pick-up" a canvassed suit for much less at a discounted store. I was tempted to invest in a Brooks Brothers Back Fleece navy suit since it is currently 50% off, but still $900 is out of my price range (Is $900 a good deal for BB-BF and should I overlook that price?). Another poster on SF was saying how he was able to pick up a Black Fleece suit for $200 but didn't say where I should shop. Or should I be looking online? So my question is, for a student who is on a budget, where should I be looking for descent canvassed suits that can last me through job interviews and perhaps daily hospital work? Th Men's Wearhouse doesn't really carry anything that conforms to my body type - I look fairly boxy in their suits. A Nordstrom's Rack carries brands like Hugo Boss, Calvin Klein and Ben Sherman but those honestly don't feel or look right on me either. Do I have any sartorial Jiminy Crickets who can guide me?

In this National Review article, Mssr. George Weigel deploys his superior knowledge of how the Holy See operates, after taking swipes at the rest of the journalistic world for our supposed lack of sophistication in really understanding the subtle ways the Vatican sends signals. Among his observations is this:
Pope Francis conducted his conversation with President Obama across a desk — a stage-setting exercise on the Vatican's part that one canny media veteran thought "a tad aggressive" and another observer said resembled a school principal having a firm talk with a recalcitrant student. There was no attempt to embarrass here. But the arrangement nonetheless sent a signal, to the administration and to others: The Holy See was not interested in reinforcing the White House's pre-meeting script, nor would it be interested in doing so for other public officials in the future.
If Weigel is correct, then how does he explain the photo above, that accompanied an article in the Daily Telegraph when President Bush met with Pope Benedict? I mean, that appears to be a desk between the two, doesn't it? Well, maybe it is actually a table and tables do not send the signal the desk between Francis and Obama sent. We should ask Mssr. Weigel to explain the difference.

Martin Luther King
posted by HM .
Hey guys could you help me with a better sentence than this.
"In a competition the usual suspect of an offense towards the other player is the contender but Martin Luther King's death was not about the person who did it but the idea behind why he did it and what made James Earl Ray do it"
I have written this and I am basically trying to say that James earl ray was not the usual suspect as people would have thought but it is not who killed Martin Luther king but the idea behind what made James Earl Ray do it.
Also how can I summarize this ?
"Not only did the FBI the former secret opposition party to MLK movement turn on his side to find the murderer. Thousands of White Americans came to realize how cannibalistic their society had become to avoid a man who has won not only a Noble peace prize and a renowned respected figure in a majority. They were ashamed that King did not only speak for his own people, but the poor white minority too."
Basically I want my reader to know how the assassination made things even better and effective because it brought things into prospective and opened the eyes of many Americans to see how savage they had become in means of racism.
" ... the assassination made things even better ... "
You need to find very different wording. You seem to be saying that it was OK that MLK was killed. Yikes!
Even in death did Martin King rise: America rose from its apathetic sense toward racial inequality towards a sense that racial justice had to be addressed, in schools, in public, and in self.
"In a competition the usual suspect of an offense towards the other player is the contender but Martin Luther King's death was not about the person who did it but the idea behind why he did it and what made James Earl Ray do it"
That is misleading. Try this: In the assassination of Martin Luther King, the focus was not his assassin, but the reasons King was hated and hounded to death.
Thank you Bob, no Writeacher I did not really mean that, what I meant was his death did a favour to mankind in making them realise the vile attitude they had towards change which resulted in many deaths as of his own.
Moreover if I copy paste what you wrote for me and add some more there besides what you wrote, will I be penalized for plagiarism ?
No plagiarism would be involved, in my opinion, because what I wrote is not copyrighted or even claimed as MINE, in the copyright/legal sense.
Be wary of using any phrasing like this, though: " his death did a favour to mankind"
You MUST find a different way to state your idea.

A decision on the controversial plans for a rail freight terminal between Park Street and London Colney, which was expected next week, has been delayed until June.
The Secretary of State is postponing his response to the court decision on the Helioslough appeal. This is because there may be implications following the new National Planning Policy Framework, which was introduced earlier this week.
Helioslough wants to build a depot on the former Radlett Airfield site.
Interested parties who gave evidence to the inquiry have now been asked to present their views on how they think the new framework changes things.
Sandy Walkington, a campaigner for the Liberal Democrats in St Albans who has been involved in the campaign against the 3.5 million square-metre depot, hopes the delay will be a last chance to block the plans.
He said: "We know perfectly well that people in St Albans don't want it.
"It was a bit of a surprise – now we have just got to go flat out.
"Any delay is good news – we're got to be grateful for any opportunity."
Politicians, residents and campaigners from the district have been fighting a long battle against the rail freight for several years.
The decision, which was originally expected on April 5, is now expected on or before June 13.

what do i need to do to sell this?
hello all
i am trying to sell my rifle and it seems no! one is bidding on!!
can you all tell me what i am doing wrong? and is this gun so cheap and ugly?
need some help what the gun comes with... Survivor Rifle , 308 Winchester, 22" Heavy Barrel, Single Shot, Synthetic Stock, Blue Finish
harris bi pod brand new bushnell scope 10x40 and everything eles you see all i am asking is a compact or subcompact trade
List a price.
any hints on price i should list?
I think it's because people mainly look for Bolt Actions and not single shots.
Looks like a good rifle though...but I'm not to keen on single shot rifles myself...cept shotguns.
Without accessories, that NEF can be gotten for 'bout $200 new. With extras, I'd say no more than $225 used.
Single-shot rifles are not popular...might be after Obama re-instates the Clinton Gun ban...I sure as heck wouldn't sell/trade a gun for the next 8 years...
Best bet is to keep it, and buy a used Star or Firestar 9mm for around $150-200 ;) Or a Taurus 24/7 C (Compact) for around $350. Most pawn shops & gun shops will let you make a couple of payments to get what you want. 90 days layaway is a Wonderful thing :) I always pay mine off early and the gun guys know me when I hit the door ;)
Any gun shop/pawn shop that doesn't allow a 90-day (or more) Layaway, are dang fools.
Oh, yeah, NEF is part of Remington since last year's buyout of Marlin. Watch for Remington to push accesory makers into covering all the new stuff. ;)
(Marlin owned NEF, H&R, & LC Higgins)

The best-looking papers are (still) created with LaTeX; see our latex and pdflatex instructions page for suggestions on how to create fabulous documents with LaTeX. If you want to use something else, you are on your own. However, make sure the outcome looks about the same as the example paper, that is, 2-column, 10pt, embedded (apalike) citations, with figures, tables, and equations numbered and in place.
If you worked together with another student on a project, you should write only one paper. Naturally, it will have to be twice as good :-) (but not necessarily twice as long). You will both get the same grade for the paper, unless you specify exactly how the work was divided between the two of you (which is usually really hard to do and not recommended).
See the class schedule for the due date for papers. They must be emailed as pdf files to email@example.com; no other formats or methods of turning them in are possible. After I've graded them, I'll set up a time when we can talk about possible future directions of the project etc. If the project turned out really good, you might want to consider submitting it to some conference. We can talk about how to do that when we have the meeting.

Shahrukh Khan, the King of Bollywood, is not only famous in India, but in the entire world. Having danced with the famous artist Akon, SRK will use the shooting in his new film, "Ra.One". After Akon, Martin Walsh from Chicago fame will appear in the film. Now, he is intending to broaden his limits, and reach an even higher level. His next step is dancing with one of the most loved bands in the world: none other than The Prodigy. The famous band will be coming in India on tour in January, and Shahrukh Khan decided it was a great thing to sing with them and use it in "Ra.One". What else could be better to promote a film?
The film's music composers, Vishal and Shekhar, stated that they cannot wait to work with The Prodigy, and showed their enthusiasm even more than Shahrukh Khan himself. It is one of the biggest collaborations in Bollywood's history, and the entire staff is working hard to make it perfect. Representatives of the electronic music band have not yet commented.

What's the Deal With the O2 Diet?
What's the Deal With the O2 Diet?
I'm leery of the word "diet" because I think most are unhealthy and ineffective. But this O2 Diet, designed by nutritionist Keri Glassman, caught my eye. It's an eating plan based on consuming antioxidant-rich foods — not on counting calories or restricting what you eat.
Supposedly, eating foods that are high up on the ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) scale will improve your health inside and out. Developed by the USDA, the ORAC scale measures how well a food protects against free radicals, the damaging elements in our bodies that lead to many forms of cancer, heart disease, and symptoms of aging. Research shows that "eating a high-ORAC diet increases the antioxidant power of human blood 10 to 25 percent, improving memory and cognition, preventing cancer, improving skin, and aiding in weight loss."
Keri's plan involves eating 30,000 ORAC points a day. Just to give you a sense of what that means, one cup of blueberries contains 9,700 ORAC points, one ounce of dark chocolate contains 5,900 points, and half a cup of beans offers 7,800 points. The book explains which other foods are high on the ORAC scale and all the antioxidant powers they possess. Although this antioxidant-based program promises to "make you thin and beautiful," it seems like the more valuable outcome is improved overall health.
Sounds interesting, doesn't it? Tell me, have any of you tried the O2 Diet?

Soy can cause the same reaction as casein...
My son laughs at night from bananas. He has been on melatonin since the age of 2 when he saw Dr. Lonsdale in Cleveland. He is now almost 10. There is a break in his chemistry that makes it VERY difficult to sleep and melatonin is the end product of a chain reaction that does not occur properly with my boy. Good Luck
