Regional Reviews: San Francisco
The New Version of Out of this World
The 42nd Street Moon production of the newly revised Cole Porter musical is one of the greatest productions this group has assembled. Credit has to be given to artistic director Greg MacKellan for his direction and for his rewriting of over half of the dialogue. He had permission from the Porter Foundation to do the rewrite. There had been half dozen rewrites of this musical since it first opened at the New Century Theatre in New York in 1951 where it ran only 157 performances.
I saw the original musical with way back when with William Redfield as Mercury, Priscilla Gillette as Helen, William Eythe as Art, David Burns as Niki and the great Charlotte Greenwood as Juno. Redfield went on to become a star in early television and Eythe and Greenwood went to Fox for films stardom. Burns became a staple of the Broadway theater including the classic Horace in Hello Dolly.
Prior to its original opening, the show had major censorship problems with the blue nosed Boston mayor's office. They said the lyrics were "not heard even in better class gin mills". They took exception to "all irreverent use of God" and thought the dances and costumes were too suggestive. They did not like the term 'goosing me' in "Nobody's Chasing Me". In Boston, the producers threw out "From This Moment On'. Everyone thought it would be a smash hit on Broadway and in fact many of the recording artists of the day recorded many of the songs prior to it opening. World opened on December 21, 1950 at a top ticket price of $6. The critics, including the Times, gave it negative reviews.
When I saw the musical in the winter months of '51, I thought the Porter's score was just as good as Kiss Me Kate. It remains to this day one of my favorite Broadway scores. I have seen several revisions of the script over the years including a great concert version at the Barbican in London several years and the New York Encores! concert in 1995.
The book had always been weak and creaky, but that's no longer so with MacKellan's revision (the eighth incarnation). With the best cast of singers in the Bay Area, the current Out of This World is near perfection and I believe this version will be the only version for future regional production. My only regret is that the musical cannot have a longer run at the Eureka.
The 42nd Street Moon season is off to a grand start in their new home at the Eureka Theatre. They have a larger stage, more seating capacity and a better location. This should help the company since more and more subscriptions are being sold.
The show still starts with Mercury coming out at the beginning to tell the audience to suspend logic and accept the story that is to follow. He also asks the audience to accept the Roman names for the Greek gods since Porter wanted it that way. The difference now is that the beginning of the story takes place in Hollywood of 1951 at the then famous Formosa Cafe near Paramount. Helen Vance is now a famous, though fading, Hollywood star. Jupiter, a notorious womanizer, is up on Mount Olympus along with the gods and goddess. The main god has eyes for the blond beauty. He sends his son Mercury down to earth to set up an assignation with Helen at the Arcadia Inn, outside of modern day Athens. Mercury gets Helen and her new husband, a screenplay writer, to fly to Athens on the premise that she will appear in a new film with a Greek background.
Mercury enlists some of the gods and goddess to provide the right romantic atmosphere for the night of love. However, there is a fly in the ointment and that is Juno, the wife of Jupiter. She has been away for several days and she finds that the husband is chasing women again. She goes to Athens to stop the rendezvous and there the fun begins. We see the various gods and goddesses squabbling among themselves. The clumsy subplot involving a Chicago gangster has been dropped and in its place there is a Hollywood gossip columnist on the order of Parsons or Hopper to take his place. This role was especially written for 42nd Street Moon regular Lisa Peers. Also MacKellan has put "From This Moment On" back in the show.
Steve Rhyne, a 42nd St. regular, seems to get better and better with each performance, this time in the role of Mercury. This young man has the most pleasing natural personality and he has a great voice to match. I have watched this guy over the past three years and he has perfected a natural acting talent. Not over done, just right. His songs from the beautiful "Use Your Imagination" to the kicky "They Couldn't Compare to You" are amazing. He does a terrific job on the catchy scat lyrics of the latter song.
Outstanding is Darlene Popovic, a cabaret artist who has played at Don't Tell Mama in New York and the Plush Room here in San Francisco. She was marvelous as Juno. One of the great highlights of the show was her rendition of "Nobody's Chasing Me" which included the hilarious chase scene featuring all members of the cast. She was also remarkable in the line swapping duet of "Cherry Pies Ought to be You" with the wonderfully funny Lisa Peers as the Hollywood columnist. Ms. Peers had one of the best dumpy Parson's dresses that you can image. (I asked her after the show if she would ever wear that outfit outside the stage and she said "no way").
Stephanie Rhodes, one of the Bay area best singers, was stunning as the Hollywood star. Her duet with Steve Rhyne in "Use Your Imagination" was splendid and her solo "I Am Love" was exquisite. We see too little of her now that she is also artistic director of the company. Another regular, Caroline Altman, was Chloe and she shined in the trio "What Do You Think About Men?". This is one of my favorite songs of all time and I was enchanted by the performances. She was also great with Steve in "Cherry Pies". John Elliott Kirk played Jupiter and he had a booming voice for his numbers "I, Jupiter, I Rex" and "You Don't Remind Me". All of the others gave outstanding performances, however I would like to point out 'the new kid on the block'. He is Matt Riuetta who played a fey Apollo. He hails from Chicago where he played on various stages and this marked his first SF appearance. He had no actual solo but in the chorus his voice was heard. He also did a wonderful camp version of what had to be a gay Apollo. I hope to see more of this young talent here in SF.
Just one other interesting note. In the "Cherry Pie" reprise with Juno and Isadora, this was the first time that two women have sung this song. It is usually done between Juno and Jupiter. However, here is worked well.
The musical runs just one more week and it has been getting sold out performances. I recommend every fan of Cole Porter's (and those who are not) try to get seats for this remarkable revised musical.
The 42nd St. Moon Group next offering is the American premier of Johnny Mercer and Andre Previn's Good Companions which is one of my most favorite musicals of all times. I look forward to revisiting this British musical. Kissing the Witch
The Magic Theatre is presenting the World Premier of Emma Donoghue's Kissing the Witch This production is based on her book of the same name. The book was selected by the New York Times as Notable Book of the Year. The cast for this bewitching production consist of three females and one male. The witches were wise women and herbal healers who are visited by villagers whenever they need a cure or a curse. These same woman play all of the characters in the five fairy tales also. The heroines in the five tales were treacherous, courageous and openly sensual.
The production begins as three females playing the witches gather on a hill that covers the complete stage. They tell the audience that people want from them always the same thing - transformation. This is what all five stories are about, transformation. The witches then become the characters in each of the tales. Each story goes into another story told by a different witch. The lone male figure was played by one of the Bay's area favorite actors Mark Philips. He plays a prince, a father, a huntman and a merchant. The stories are enacted in story theater fashion. He was superb in all of the sequences.
One of the interesting things about this play is the fact that the Disney musical Beauty and Beast is playing in the city. One of the tales told in Donoghue's play called Rose is a more simple version of the fairy tale with no added music. This is a different retelling of the fairy story. Rose is the beauty played by Emily Ackerman. She was outstanding in the role. She was both courageous and curious about her captor. One can see the growing tenderness she had for the beast. Cambron Williamson played the beast with great thoughtfulness.
One of the stories is of a woman who trades in her voice so that she may married the man of her dreams. The male turns out to be roguish ladies man. Ms. Ackerman was delightful as the woman who loses her voice on what turns out to be a very bad fling.
Margaret Schenck was particularly engaging as the maid who bullies the noblewoman out of her own life in Tale of the Handkerchief. Emily Ackerman was delightful as the clueless princess in this story.
There was a marvelous set of mud-toned burlap, bare sticks, a subterranean cave entrance and downstage pond to fill the stage. The music by David Molina set the mood of each sequence. Lighting was especially admirable. Direction by Kent Nicholson was tight and on the mark.
There is talk that the production will play off Broadway next season. It is a darling of a play. It runs until June 25 at the Magic Theatre. Tickets are $25 and $30.

I don't know why, I just love the fact that ABP used a chicken instead of something like a lion for their film openings!
Well, the whole site has been pretty 'Cosmic' lately, it must be in the stars, so why stop here?? From 1959, with an interstellar theme from maestros Paul Sawtell(One of the most uncredited composers of stock music in film history)and Bert Shefter(A composer of equal acclaim), here's "The Cosmic Man"!!!
"The Cosmic Man"is a well made, but sleepy little movie. You know, he comes from space, he's pretty cool, creeps around at night and is strange and scary if you don't get what's going on, but plays chess and heals crippled children in his spare time! I like this strange cat from outer space in his giant floating tinfoid ball, and John Carradine in his 40 millionth role does a classy job one more time!!!
It might just be a little too techincal for all you every day folks!!
And, Viola! For no apparent reason at all, Mr. Cosmic takes off a brief moment to do some peeping while he's out wandering around at night!!
Man, it's really frustrating when the cutting torch won't work on the stupid floating ball. The End!

The Atlanta Braves have been quiet all offseason. With the exception of the trade of Derek Lowe, which was essentially a salary dump, and the selection of Robert Fish in the Rule 5 draft, the Braves haven't made a single trade or signing. There is one player who could help the Braves significantly but won't break the bank: Cody Ross.
Ross is a right-handed hitter who can play all three outfield positions. He has a batting average of .261 and an OPS of .779 over his career, though he only managed a .240 average last season. The fact that he can play center field may be his greatest asset, however.
With the roster as currently constructed, the Braves have Matt Diaz, David Ross, and Eric Hinske penciled in on what will be a five-man bench. The Braves will undoubtedly have a backup shortstop as part of the bench, which leaves one spot for their backup center fielder. Ross would fill that role perfectly, as he not only is a decent fielder at the position but would be a very strong addition to the bench as a right-handed batter.
Furthermore, since Chipper Jones will inevitably miss a fair share of games, Martin Prado can take over third base in Jones' absence and Ross would fill the void in left field. While the combination of Ross and Prado likely wouldn't match the production of Jones and Prado, Ross is a tough out and would fill in capably. Having a good hitter like Ross in the lineup will allow Jones to rest more often and be productive down the stretch.
Lastly, as much as Braves fans hope that Jason Heyward returns to his 2010 All-Star form, that simply cannot be assumed. Having a right-handed bat on the bench like Ross would enable the Braves to rest Heyward against tough lefties.
Braves fans are becoming impatient at the lack of activity, and understandably so, but Frank Wren doesn't need to hastily make a trade that won't benefit the team. For a mid-market team like the Braves who can't afford the likes of Albert Pujols and Jose Reyes, a Cody Ross signing would fly under the radar but could be exactly the type of move the Braves need to make.Tags: Atlanta, Atlanta Braves, Chipper Jones, Cody Ross, Martin Prado, MLB

Officials confirmed last week that the FBI is investigating connections between the community, called Baladullah, and an organization known as Jamaat Al-Fuqra, which the U.S. State Department has listed as a terrorist group operating in both Pakistan and North America.
Authorities said they are looking into allegations forwarded by other law enforcement agencies, including the Fresno County sheriff's department, the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the U.S. Marshal's office, that have encountered Baladullah or residents of it in their own investigations.
Those investigations, all pursued separately, came across evidence, for example, that the man accused of murdering a Fresno sheriff's deputy Aug. 21 was familiar with the work of Al-Fuqra's founder, and that the community had connections to other organizations associated with Al-Fuqra.
Residents of Baladullah, which means "City of God" in Arabic, defend the enclave as a group of families who have come together to live in peace, away from the inner-city ravages of drugs and violence.
"They're American citizens," said Khadijah Ghafur, a founder of the community and president of the nonprofit group that owns the Baladullah property, who insisted nothing sinister is going on.
She has said that the recent scrutiny of Baladullah is inspired by ignorance, racism or anti-Muslim sentiment in a time when even mainstream Muslims have been questioned about terrorism. Baladullah's residents are African-American.
Other prominent Muslim residents of the Central Valley defend Baladullah.
"I know these people very well," said Mohammad Ashraf, a Fresno cardiologist who called the enclave "a shelter for poor people." He added: "I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that Khadijah Ghafur is not connected to terrorism."
U.S. Marshals encountered Baladullah in March, when they arrested a Baladullah resident, James Hobson, on a warrant for smuggling firearms between South Carolina and New York.
Detectives from the Fresno County sheriff's department searched the Baladullah trailer of another resident, Ramadan Abdullah, who was charged with killing a deputy who had caught him breaking into a home outside the community, possibly to steal guns.
Detectives reported seeing a small landing strip and firing range on the Baladullah property. In Abdullah's trailer, they found a book by Sheikh Mubarik Ali Jilani, Sgt. Toby Rien said. The State Department says Jilani, a Pakistani cleric, founded Al-Fuqra more than 20 years ago.
Authorities also said that Abdullah had come from a similar Muslim community in Binghamton, N.Y.
While at Baladullah, detectives also observed near the front gate a sign for the International Qur'anic Open University, the educational arm of another Jilani organization. The sign has since been removed.
Agents with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms say they have looked into Baladullah as part of their investigation into Al-Fuqra activities at a similar remote settlement in Virginia, where a man was convicted last month on federal firearms violations.
"They are all connected," said Bart McEntire, resident agent in charge of the ATF in Virginia. "And I'm aware that there is this faction near Fresno."
The FBI is also looking into the operations of a charter school run by Ghafur, the Baladullah leader, that Fresno school officials say may have violated state law by teaching a religious-based curriculum in a state-funded program.
Baladullah representatives dispute any connections with Al-Fuqra organizations.
Residents declined to discuss the subject with the San Jose Mercury News, referring questions to a lawyer, who also declined to be interviewed. The lawyer, Douglas Hurt of Visalia, has told a Fresno television station that the community has no affiliation with Sheikh Jilani or his movement, despite the sign for the university or Baladullah's being listed as the address for a publishing house linked with Jilani's movement.
Followers of Sheikh Jilani deny that Al-Fuqra exists. They say "Zionists" and other outsiders have taken a common Arabic phrase, which refers to poverty, and conjured up a terrorist organization.
They credit Jilani with founding a religious and charitable group called Muslims of the Americas, and its educational arm, the International Qur'anic Open University. A series of missives posted on a Web site for the two groups complains of a Zionist conspiracy to manipulate American society and wipe out Muslims.
But a U.S. State Department report identifies Al-Fuqra as a militant group that seeks to purify Islam through violence. Law enforcement officials suspect the group's members are responsible for a series of crimes including a 1993 bombing of a Portland, Ore., hotel, a 1984 bombing of a Hare Krishna temple in Denver and an alleged plot to bomb a Hindu temple and theater in Toronto.
In 1993, Al-Fuqra members in Colorado were convicted of participating in a conspiracy resulting in the murder of a Muslim cleric in Arizona.
Authorities have linked a number of communities that resemble Baladullah to Al-Fuqra. The communities, according to experts, are all close-knit enclaves located in relatively remote areas. Members share property and study the Koran. As in Baladullah, access is limited and security tight.
Efforts to interview Baladullah residents were thwarted when a reporter was turned away from the community's gate. Aside from a glimpse of a half-dozen modest trailers on a patchy, snow-speckled lawn, little else was visible.
When the reporter approached, a young man ran up and politely asked if he could help. He said no one was there who could speak for the community at the moment, but that he would pass on some business cards. In a brief conversation, the man said he was from Brooklyn and had come to Baladullah from Binghamton.
"I'm a nobody," he said, declining to talk further.
Ghafur, 51, has been the most prominent member of the secretive community. For years, supporters say, she has organized charitable relief for Kashmiri refugees and visits Pakistan annually to deliver clothing, sewing machines and medicine.
"As far as funding any terrorism or supporting any terrorism, that's absolutely fabricated," said Ashraf, the Central Valley Muslim leader.
Ghafur has a long history of activism, colleagues say. Raised in Selma, Ala., she participated in the civil rights movement and later embraced Islam. She is now a Fresno regional representative to the American Muslim Alliance, a mainstream organization of 8,000 members in 35 states.
Alliance president Agha Saeed, a Hayward resident, said he met Ghafur at a convention four years ago. He described her as an enthusiastic teacher who wanted to create a community for 30 Muslim families and a school "that would become a model."
Saeed said Ghafur vowed to create a refuge for people seeking to flee the urban problems of drugs, drinking and teen-age pregnancy.
"This is just mind-boggling," Ashraf said of the suggestion that Baladullah was a sinister place. "These are poor, black people trying to get on their feet."

2005 Cadillac CTS Sedan - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Sharp car, great performance & handling
By cadillacmike on
Vehicle2005 Cadillac CTS 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6M)
ReviewThis is my 6th Cadillac, and my wife absolutely loves it even if she won't admit it. It has rather sharp styling (I like the STS better) but everyone likes it. The black is real nice when it's clean. Power and handling are superb, interior comfort is unsurprassed, and Cadillac continues to refine their memory system, this car can remember the seat position, radio settings, climate control, exit preference, Twilight Sentinel settings, mirrors, and it even has a personalized name for each key holder! The XM Satellite radio is superb. We were originally not going to get the navigation system, but once she found out that it can play DVD movies it was all over. You can even watch while driving!
Best FeaturesEngine performance, handling, personalized memory settings, interior room, fuel economy, nice polished wheels, Nav system that can play DVD movies, XM Satellite radio and Bose audio system - nicely integrated with the Navigation system.
Worst FeaturesWhy did Cadillac delete the automatic parking brake pulloff? They also seem to have deleted the cornering lights and the power trunk pulldown?! The car should have chrome exhaust tips with the $8,000 option package which my car has. Better colors are Silver, Blue or Stealth Grey.

The location of this hotel within the city Complimentary breakfast Amenities Hotel Staff
Wonderful, responsive staff. Room was a little small. Breakfast was very fresh.
Nice staff and clean hotel. Very nice complimentary breakfast. entranxe and lobby area tastefully decorated. Inadequate closer space & barely any drawer space. Very short sink in bathroom. Sink is fine for people 5'6 and below. Room was very stuffy due to small size so window needed to be cracked open. Problem with window being own is lots of noise outside.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.

Good continental breakfast, helpful staff, complimentary cookies that were tasty, clean room, eco-friendly, microwave/fridge/silverware in room No central heat/AC, street noise
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The continental breakfast was nice (nothing amazing, but a decent selection). Free WiFi was a good feature (but it is too slow to stream anything). Location 10 minutes from a BART was convenient and two blocks away is a nice strip of small restaurants. This was NOT a 3.5 star place. It was dated and the room was small and there was no air conditioning. I know the Bay area does not get hot often, but it meant to stay comfortable you had to keep your window open and that meant hearing traffic all night.
The room was adorable, spacious, clean, and comfortable. The staff was super friendly. The 24/7 coffee and water was a nice touch as were the 3pm cookies. The hotel and experience overall far exceeded my expectations.
Tiny roomNoisy , No ac Expensive Parking
Kind staff Too small room than the price I paid
The best thing about this hotel was that they offered cookies in the late afternoon, and all day tea/coffee. Room and beds are small. No air conditioning in the room. In room coffee was not replenished. Bathroom very outdated. Room service did not clean the room, all they did was make the bed. The elevator is old and frightening. Staff is very curt with guests.
La ubicación geográfica. Los baños compartidos y la falta de disponibilidad de estacionamiento o acuerdo con playas de estacionamiento para automoviles
trato hospitalario no
El trato amable, la limpieza y el desayuno. Tener que compartir el baño
la alegria de las camareras ,la atencion de ellas al dar un servicio de exelencia,un desayuno para recordar,disponibilidad de la asistente manajer para resolver una situacion, el gesto amable por hacerlo. personal incapacitado en la carpeta del hotel ,mal control en las ventas de las habitaciones,,al manajer le falta comprension debe ponerse en el lugar del huesped si el huesped paga por una cama doble ,y el hotel esta lleno no basta con darle una cama sencilla ,ese no fue el servicio pagado por lo que se debe dar un descuento apropiado a las molestias causadas ,a eso se le llama bussines ,tambien deben preparar al personal que debe atender a los huesped con la altura necesaria para llegar a competir con los demas hoteles,un aml servico puede ser una perdida enorme de clientes a los cuales les aconsejaria nunca visitar un hotel con las circuentancias mencionada.,negocio es negocio y un buen negocio da furtos ,un mal servicio solo perdidas que ni siquiera el cliente debe saber ,las justificaciones no remedian nada,es feo pensar que el personal mas calificado en este hotel eran las camareras .
That there was a bar right below us. I really liked to free breakfast and the staff was very nice! There was nothing that I disliked :)
Had a great common area with a fireplace and a good basic breakfast. Overall a great place! Rooms are the perfect size and clean and bathroom I had was large. If you're a light sleeper, DO NOT stay here. Street is extremely busy most of the time, windows/walls didn't block any sound. It was also a little odd that the bartender/bar was also the front desk so if you needed something you had to call the bar.
Loved the eclectic feeling of this hotel! The staff was super friendly and helpful. There is a big common space/ living room and 24 hour open snacks that gave us the comfort of being at home. The room was clean and comfortable and felt private. The restaurant below is open late with great food and drinks, the perfect place to come back to after long days roaming the city.

CAMBRIDGE, U.K., AND WASHINGTON, D.C.-- Scientists are still speculating about the exact nature of the gas that subdued the Chechen terrorists but also killed 118 hostages in a Moscow theater on 26 October. Experts are doubtful about the official Russian explanation, which is that the gas was a derivative of fentanyl, an opiate. Hopes for a clearer picture are now riding on toxicological analyses on Western hostages.

Sealab 2021
Season 3
What's better than a TV? An HDTV. And what's better than that? An ASHDTV. And what does the AS stand for? You probably guessed: Adult Swim. But it's: Asteroid Smasher. And that's what the crew of Sealab stole from Spacelab. And that's what they're down in the lounge watching. Right this very minute.
Chalkboard Jungle
Quinn agrees to teach Debbie Love's 4th grade class for the day. And Shanks decides to tag along for the ride. Everything goes pretty smoothly. Except they kill the class pet and terrify the kids. Oh, and unleash the bubonic plague. Other than that, though...pretty smoothly.
Craptastic Voyage
When Shanks refuses treatment for a festering, pulsing head-tumor, the crew decides to dust off the old shrink ray and then basically reenact the plot of a 1960's sci-fi movie starring that actress.

Anyway I filled and bleed it and now runs at 94. Air isn't the issue as I dumped in 9 litres of mix, bleed it and drove for and hr right out of the shop with only the OBD readout as my guide. 94 solid. Expansion bottle dropped maybe an inch. All in all seems very solid now. My question remains what " caused" it to spike last night. Coolant may have been low causing an air pocket but I haven't checked it for a while because the gauge had always been ok. Till last night
I am on this like white on rice now to monitor any changes in temp or coolant drop. I am sure the rad is stock as is the fan clutch so I think I'll change those as today. I learned how.

In Part 1, we discussed how a recent survey found that almost 90 percent of respondents were highly unlikely to continue to do business with a company that suffers a credit card breach.
But according to Information Age, this souring of patron opinion does not stop at credit card attacks alone — 80 and 76 percent of those surveyed said they would stop frequenting businesses that suffered a telephone number or email attack, respectively.
The message from consumers is clear: there are too many businesses out there to take a risk on ones that are not properly guarded with a stringent enterprise security infrastructure. Several of the companies breached in 2013 learned this lesson the hard way when they suffered a decline in patronage after news of their breach surfaced.
1. Neiman Marcus: Typically known for its chic displays and metropolitan appeal, Neiman Marcus earned a different kind of public attention when it was hit by a data breach during the 2013 holiday season. The attack resulted in the theft of more than 1 million credit card numbers, according to The Online Privacy Blog.
But that is not where the problems ended for the retailer. In reporting store revenue for 2013's fourth quarter — the period of time when the breach occurred — the company admitted it suffered losses in the millions of dollars, according to The Dallas Morning News. These declines can be directly tied to the attack and its fallout.
2. Target: While the attack on Neiman Marcus was bad for the store, it pales in comparison to the breach on Target's internal system. It was one of the largest-scale and costliest retail breaches of all time, incurring $61 million in recuperative costs for the retailer and leading to a large decline in customer trust — as evidenced by fourth quarter numbers.
According to Forbes, Target's profit plummeted by almost 50 percent at the end of 2013 because of recovery costs and a significant decline in patronage, which began a descent in the immediate wake of the breach.
But Target's troubles did not end with the year. Instead, the retailer continues to pay for the breach, both in money and in trust.
"As we plan for the new fiscal year, we will continue to work tirelessly to win back the confidence of our guests and deliver irresistible merchandise and offers," the store's CEO Gregg Steinhafel said in an official statement.
A Move Toward Stronger Enterprise Authentication Strategies Is Advised
No company wants to end up like Target or Neiman Marcus: publicly scrutinized, investigated by government agencies, and losing business. The prospect of a preventable incident like a data breach is enough to send many companies searching for better authentication solutions.
One company that has done this recently is the popular photo sharing site Tumblr, which announced that it has implemented a two-factor authentication system for its service, ZDNet reported. What this means is that users will have to go through two identification walls instead of one when logging into the site.
The system reduces the possibility of hackers breaking into the site, and in an age when cybercrime is everywhere, that kind of security cannot be taken for granted.

FROM THE PUBLISHER >> Politics at local level rough, just ask mayor
Thomas Tip ONeill,
longtime Speaker of the House
The political pros know that voters are more passionate about local issues than about national politics, even in time of war.
How the local electorate feels about their representatives local job performance can affect the outcome of national politics. No wonder theres so much furor over the firing of seven U.S. attorneys: Their job security was tied to how well they prosecuted local Democrats. Former U.S. Attorney Bud Cummins lost his job because he corralled but one lowly Pine Bluff alderman, not enough to change the outcome of congressional and gubernatorial races here.
Of course all politics is local: Last month, the Sherwood City Council rebelled when Mayor Danny Stedman made a decision the aldermen decided was theirs to make.
What did Stedman do wrong? Did he accept payments from contractors who were doing business with the city?
Did he pave private roads to supporters homes?
Did he hide weapons of mass destruction in the basement of city hall for possible use against his political opponents?
No, it was much more serious than that: Stedman tried to hire his own public works director. The council forced him to withdraw his choice.
Not only is his public works director gone, but so is the mayor. Stedman became ill, complaining of chest pains, and he called it quits.
He served but three months, although everyone had expected hed be around for at least three terms.
Crusty former Mayor Bill Harmon is filling in until elections are called in June.
Local politics can be brutal. Its like hand-to-hand combat, winner take all. Rep. Will Bond, D-Jacksonville, unsuccessfully challenged Rep. Benny Petrus, D-Stuttgart, for House Speaker, and guess whos bringing home the bacon now.
Petrus, who may be a keen student of Tip ONeill, knows how to reward his supporters and shut out his challengers.
So dont expect any General Improvement Funds for Jackson-ville anytime soon, even if Mike Wilson doesnt go to court to stop them, although he probably will.
Sure, people care about local issues more than, say, a balanced federal budget.
When they see crumbling schools and inadequate roads and they drive by a garbage dump higher than the tallest building in their community, they know local politicians should do more, a lot more, although weve noticed Eddie Joe Williams, Cabots energetic new mayor, has embarked on a manic road-building program.
Our youngest daughter, visiting home from out of state, noticed the stinking garbage dump along Hwy. 67/167 and the North Belt Loop south of Jacksonville on the way home from the airport. She said it reminded her of poverty-stricken India.
Amazingly, this is what the people see when they enter Jacksonvilleand its a couple of hundred yards from a youth baseball field.
The dump keeps growing, like a Tower of Babel. The burning flames lighting up the sky remind me of an oil field in the Middle East.
Didnt city planners have the foresight to keep this dump well away from Jacksonville? Waste Management, the dumps operator, gives Jacksonville students a couple of college scholarships a year, but Id give them back and tell them to take their dump someplace else.
When people start asking how this dump was allowed in here in the first place and allowed to expand in all directions, it will become a major political and health issue.
City planners in the biggest communities make bad decisions and in smaller cities theyre capable of doing even worse. Look at the controversial Graham Road closing for a poorly planned railroad overpass at Main Street, forcing motorists to detour for six blocks if they want to get to North First Street.
People have abandoned that area, hurting businesses and leaving North First Street, which was widened several years ago, virtually untraveled, wasting millions of dollars for taxpayers.
So were back to Tip ONeills dictum. Local politicians ignore it at their own risk.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Scott Feldman's cell phone was furiously beeping in the locker behind him. The congratulatory messages were rolling in after a winning performance close to home, with lots of family members and friends in attendance.
Feldman pitched six strong innings, Elvis Andrus backed him with a homer, and the Texas Rangers won their fifth straight game, beating the Oakland Athletics 3-2 on Wednesday night.
"Sure it's nice to win with them in the stands," said Feldman, who went to high school in nearby Burlingame. "Any time you can pitch well it's only going to help things."
David Murphy and Chris Davis each drove in a run for the Rangers, who have won six of their last seven road games and moved into first place for the first time in three years.
"It does mean something," Rangers' manager Ron Washington said. "It means we're playing good baseball right now. We're no longer the hunters. For at least one day, we're the hunted."
Kurt Suzuki hit a two-run double for the A's, who dropped their fourth straight. Jack Cust had three hits.
Feldman (2-0) allowed two runs on four hits, walking two and striking out three in his third start since replacing Kris Benson in the starting rotation.
"I love starting," Feldman said. "It's been a lot of fun the last three games. I don't want to take anything for granted though. When they tell me to pitch I want to do well. It's nice to get the opportunity to be a regular starter."
Dan Giese (0-3) went 5 2-3 innings, giving up three runs on eight hits. He did not walk a batter and struck out three in his first start of the season after taking over for Dana Eveland, who was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday. The A's have not had a starter go more than six innings in any of their last 13 games.
"I got into some jams but having Suzuki back there saved us some runs," Giese said. "I felt I did a decent job, but you still hate to lose."
The rookie Andrus hit his second home run of the season, a solo shot in the first inning, for his first RBI in 16 games.
The Rangers added a pair of runs in the fourth. Marlon Byrd singled and Nelson Cruz doubled ahead of Murphy's sacrifice fly. Davis followed with an RBI single.
"We made it a point in spring training to focus on the little things," said Rangers third baseman Michael Young, who extended his hitting streak to 10 games with an eighth-inning single. "We know offensively we can score runs in bunches. It means something to be in first place but it feels better just to be playing good, fundamental baseball."
The A's made it 3-2 in the fourth with Suzuki's double, scoring Jason Giambi and Matt Holliday.
Derek Holland pitched two scoreless innings and Frank Francisco recorded the final three outs, including strikeouts of Giambi and Holliday, for his ninth save. He extended his scoreless streak to 14 2-3 innings.
"They made Frankie work and he earned it," Washington said. "To do what he did to Jason Giambi and Matt Holliday, that's something. He turned it up."
Notes:@ Benson was activated from the DL and placed in the bullpen. RHP Luis Mendoza was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City to make room. ... A's RHP Sean Gallagher will start Saturday, replacing LHP Brett Anderson, who developed a blister. ... A's RHP Santiago Casilla (sprained right knee) threw on flat ground Tuesday and is expected to throw a bullpen session Thursday. ... Rangers OF Josh Hamilton (strained intercoastal muscle) may play in a minor league game on Monday. "If he's ready to go I'd like him to get his at bats with us," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. ... Suzuki has 13 RBIs in his last 13 games.

American Rhetoric: Movie Speech
"Gettysburg" (1993)
Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain Addresses Maine Soldiers on What We're Fighting For
Audio mp3 delivered by Jeff Daniels
Chamberlain: This regiment was formed last summer in Maine. There were a thousand of us then. There are less than three hundred of us now. All of us volunteered to fight for the union, just as you did. Some came mainly because we were bored at home -- thought this looked like it might be fun. Some came because we were ashamed not to. Many of us came because it was the right thing to do. And all of us have seen men die.
This is a different kind of army. If you look back through history, you will see men fighting for pay, for women, for some other kind of loot. They fight for land, power, because a king leads them or -- or just because they like killing. But we are here for something new. This has not happened much in the history of the world. We are an army out to set other men free.
America should be free ground -- all of it. Not divided by a line between slave state and free -- all the way, from here to the Pacific Ocean. No man has to bow. No man born to royalty. Here, we judge you by what you do, not by who your father was. Here, you can be something. Here, is the place to build a home.
But it's not the land. There's always more land.
It's the idea that we all have value -- you and me.
What we're fighting for, in the end, we're fighting for each other.
Sorry, I didn't mean to preach. You, you go ahead. You talk for awhile. If you -- If you choose to join us, you want your muskets back, you can have 'em. Nothing more will be said by anybody anywhere. If you choose not to join us, well you can come along under guard, and when this is all over I will do what I can to see you get a fair treatment. But for now, we're moving out.
Gentlemen, I think if we lose this fight, we lose the war. So if you choose to join us, I'll be personally very grateful.

Post-day wrap up- An incredible day! A remarkable mixture of pandemonium and chaos, of professionalism and standing around. Brief: Around 9:30-1:30, used "cherry-picker" with bucket to take overhead shots. First our photographer-a volunteer-taking 35mm shots, then Discovery (Dominic) taking film and still digital images of the pit empty, then Dominic filming Dan in the pit, then Steve Westin and Pam Loughmiller taking digital images for possible stereoscopic images. Huge number of volunteers and random visitors, watching from driveway and edge of pond, which was roped off. At one point, Tom Lake counted 78 cars up and down the road; total people unknown-a couple hundred during day(?). Lunch-12 pizzas from Mona Lisa's-came at 2PM. A soda machine came from Larry's brother (in law?). At about 2:30, had a volunteer meeting and organized into teams with team leaders-Dan in pit, Rob in documentation, Dwight Warren in transporting bones up, John Chiment in tent curating bones as they arrived, Jim general manager, facilitating problems as they arose. Each of us had a group of people to give jobs to. Selecting volunteers for teams chaotic, but it seemed to work itself out. Dave Burney was in the pit with Dan-big help in sedimentological interpretation, and also in use of pumps (with which he has extensive experience through his own research.) Jennifer _____(?) took digital photos as bones were taken out, Suzanne Gifford marked bones onto digital photos she'd taken and had printed just before work begun, Rob took notes dictated by Dan. Discovery Channel continued to film short segments and ask questions to Dan, sometimes doing 3 or 4 takes on the same answer. Crowds remained to watch-cheer went up when first bone came out of the pit at about 3PM, and there was lots of excitement about removing the mandible. At 5:30, bone collection stopped; 13 left ribs, 8 right ribs, 8 vertebrae, 5 left fore foot bones, 1 right fore foot bone, a couple parts of the sternum, left ulna, left radius, left scapula (40 bones) had been removed. Dan accounted for bones, volunteers wrapped bones in bubble wrap and plastic bags, and stored them in the garage. (Robert Ross [RMR] - email him)

Survey reveals rot in backyard of rich
It is the educated and affluent Delhiites who are most cruel to their unborn girl child, yet another study has revealed. HT reports. Shameful figuresdelhi Updated: Jan 10, 2013 02:17 IST
It is the educated and affluent Delhiites who are most cruel to their unborn girl child, yet another study has revealed.
In a random household survey conducted in south-west Delhi, which comprises Dwarka- Sub city, Janakpuri, Palam, etc., by the Centre for Social Research (CSR) found shocking female foeticide trends.
The dominant reasons for gender-based sex selection was found to be the belief that sons would continue the family name, fear of dowry and share in property. Maintaining female chastity was also cited as a reason for a male child preference that appalled the surveyors.
"For working class parents, leaving a child alone is of huge concern, especially if it's a girl child. They do not seem to realise that a boy child can also be sexually abused," said Ranjana Kumari, director, CSR.
As part of its campaign against female foeticide, CSR conducted a survey of 1,000 households all through 2011 and south-west Delhi was chose because of the district is worst affected.
A social audit revealed that community members in posh localities believed that sex selection is practiced by economically backward strata of society and that educated class does not hold son preference as a dominant ideology.
People also argued that even if they get to know about sex selection cases, they would not discuss it with others. Most were not aware of the Pre conception and Pre Natal Diagnostic Techniques (Prohibition of Sex selection) Act and its implementation.
"Infrastructure for the implementation of the law is not adequate, though action has been taken against several defaulters. There still has not been a single conviction in the sex-selection cases," said Kumari.
"Somebody has to be held responsible. The government has to wake up, else by 2021 we will be sorry when we find the sex ratio perhaps dropping below 750," she added.

"Are we silently irradiating ourselves to death?" .. Yes, we are...The FCC refuses to consider any safety standards other than heat.. (if it don't heat you, it don't harm you)... for cell phone towers, Wi-Fi, "smart" meters etc...even though thousands of studies show it alter cell membrane functions and ultimately cause DNA damage... traveling at the speed of light, this radiofrequency microwave radiation doesn't kill us immediately.. Other nations are banning Wi-Fi in schools... other nations are using fiber optic... even Bill Gates uses fiber optic rather than expose himself to constant wireless radiation.....This leader we have is forcing a blanket of radiation ..and cheap, inferior wireless technology across North America...and while he is at it, he's forcing a blanket of poisonous genetically modified crops across nation... All to enrich the 30-40 crony-political czars he's appointed as a separate government.. overriding the constitution and congress. And people are actually crazy enough to go along with it. Poor, poor USA..

Sound Exchange on Richmond and Black Dog Records were neck and neck for top honors in this category. Both stores have an exquisite collection of rare and long-lost vinyl LPs, often at affordable prices, and they both have their share of eccentric regulars who like to hip the knowledgeable employees to the latest conspiracies. For a while there, Black Dog was in the lead, thanks to its use of incense. But after a second look, Sound Exchange won because of its extensive bargain-basement selection. Yes, for one dollar each, you can get a bounty of lost vinyl treasures: R&B, jazz, Christopher Cross...Plus, the Exchange has a rep for letting local bands -- such as the Jewws and Freedom Sold -- do makeshift shows right next to the record players for sale. Like any good record store, Sound Exchange preserves the independent spirit of music. Now, if it could just add a couple of incense sticks here and there...
Start clowning around -- it could earn you a cool 35 large a year. Instructor Larry Kibbey, 76, has been clowning since 1949 and has written seven books on the subject, so he's got the Bozo thing down pat. He's also the patriarch of what he calls the world's largest family of clowns and magicians -- 14 fabulous entertainers in all. Kibbey learned at the gigantic shoes of four of the most famous Ringling Bros. clowns of the past century, and now he's ready to show you the Way of the Honking Nose. For $600, you get seven two-hour courses on things like the history of clowning, costuming, makeup and balloon sculpting. Some of his goofy grads have found jobs working in Hollywood or for Disney. And lest you think that there's no moolah in acting the fool, Kibbey claims he once earned $49,000 for four days' work clowning around for alkies and crackheads at a state hospital. That's over $12,000 a day. Who's laughing now?
Did your understanding of Spanish stop somewhere between agua and adiós? Well, Leisure Learning Unlimited offers an imaginative way for you to habla mas espaol.

The small classes (12 to 14) meet once a week for three hours, for eight weeks total. At the end of each class, the teacher plays soft music and uses relaxation techniques to etch the day's lessons into your long-term memory. For those more accustomed to traditional book learnin', LLU offers other classes for around $80. So what are you waiting for? Vamos!

Explore the entire wall covered in shoes, or check out the dishware (all mugs only 49 cents!). There are regular 50-percent-off sales, and unlike many thrift stores, Savers welcomes exchanges. The store is nice and clean, with huge aisles for easy strolling. Store employees have taken care to make sure the high-quality clothes aren't jammed in too tightly, so sorting through the hundreds of women's dresses or men's shirts isn't difficult. For those who think Savers sounds too highbrow to be a real thrift store, no worries. There are plenty of weird, hidden treasures to be found. How about a semi-bizarre framed painting of two flamingos titled Miami Nights for only $1.99?
Perhaps you've always craved a sterling silver tea set, or a vintage rhinestone brooch or a velvet couch. From the sublimely beautiful to the ridiculously tacky, the Guild Shop has it all -- and at great prices. Because parishioners at the upscale St. John the Divine Church donate their often valuable castoffs to this church-sponsored resale shop, fancy but outdated designer clothes, jewelry and sterling abound. Watch prices fall with monthly markdowns, but beware: Antiques dealers regularly scout for bargains and swoop down when prices drop. The mostly elderly volunteers are sweet if a little slow; patience in the checkout line is a must.
Tucked just a few blocks away from the main vintage clothing drag on Westheimer is Houston's best-kept resale secret, The Way We Wore. Its locale, an old Montrose home, gives the place heaps of character. And inside you'll find a resale shopper's dream -- the place is chock-full of high-quality outfits from the days when your grandmother still liked to party. To help keep the decades straight, owner Pam Nunnally has sorted her goodies into the Martini Room, the Love Room and the '70s Disco Room, so you'll know where to go whether you're in search of that perfect cocktail dress or a pair of swinging bell-bottoms. If you're the type who wants to dress up old-school only once in a while, The Way We Wore also rents outfits, so you'll be a one-of-a-kind at any prom or costume party. But the best thing about The Way We Wore, and the thing that's lacking from those giants on Westheimer, is the personal attention you'll get from Nunnally, who has a great eye for picking out the perfect outfit for any figure.

Unlike the crimson-haired chapman, their quarry is rich American men, not state secrets.
Now, more than anything, chapman wishes she could find a job that is "compatible" with her situation.
However, he eventually became a little too into chapman, who told him not to come back.
To date, Carroll has acquired 100,000 letters, and this April the collection was archived by chapman University.
"We felt it was a good way to celebrate our anniversary," chapman said.
She began to see considerable of the chapman girls, and Madam Royall grew very fond of her.
I bought them from a chapman in Crete, and asked nothing of their first master.
chapman's Homer is a noble work, with all its faults; but it is not what Homer should be in English.
"It is gold," said the chapman, answering the question in her eyes.
Every inlet of the Pacific is watched, after the fiasco of the chapman.
"peddler, itinerant tradesman," Middle English form of Old English ceapman "tradesman," from West Germanic compound *kaupman- (cf. Old High German choufman, German Kauffman, Middle Dutch and Dutch koopman), formed with equivalents of man (n.) + West Germanic *kaup- (cf. Old Saxon cop, Old Frisian kap "trade, purchase," Middle Dutch coop, Dutch koop "trade, market, bargain," kauf "trader," Old English ceap "barter, business; a purchase"), from Proto-Germanic *kaupoz- (cf. Danish kjøb "purchase, bargain," Old Norse kaup "bargain, pay;" cf. also Old Church Slavonic kupiti "to buy," a Germanic loan-word), probably an early Germanic borrowing from Latin caupo (genitive cauponis) "petty tradesman, huckster," of unknown origin.

Peter Lewis, one of the biggest backers of medical marijuana in the United States, is seeking proposals to conduct a ballot initiative campaign to legalize marijuana for medical use in Ohio.
According to the request for proposals, fifteen states have made marijuana legal for qualified patients, most through the passage of similar voter initiatives.
Lewis is presently pushing it through in his home state of Ohio.
"Of the states that continue to prohibit medical use of marijuana, Ohio stands out as having particularly high levels of voter support," stated the RFP, "This provides an opportunity to enact a new law that will directly help patients and to do so in a manner that will serve as a model for other states."
The goal of the proposals is not just to pass a voter initiative legalizing medical marijuana in Ohio but for designing a campaign that could create a model for future campaigns in other states.
"You shouldn't take it as a given that there will be a ballot initiative this campaign," said Graham Boyd, Lewis' lawyer and adviser, "But we want to see proposals."
Lewis has already given millions to Marijuana Policy Project, the reform group, including $900,000 in 2010 besides giving 200,000 in support of California's Proposition 19, the bill that sought unsuccessfully last November to legalize marijuana in California.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 11.0823 Monday, 17 April 2000.

Subject: 11.0761 Re: How Shakespeare Invented History
Comment: Re: SHK 11.0761 Re: How Shakespeare Invented History
Tony Burton says:
>So as I read the sequence, the direction of growth is from a group

>loosely speaking, as progress. Granted, the excesses of untutored
>individualism were, as they still are, grievous and noticeable,
David Riesman would attribute this "progress" to the printing press,
which turned reading into a universal activity. It is in reading, he
argues, that we develop "inner-direction," and this process allowed the
culture to progress from the "tradition-direction" of pre-modernity.
Marx, on the other hand, would attribute it to the rise of primitive
accumulation (i.e. incipient capitalism) whose growing influence
contributed to an individualistic world view for reasons that should be
obvious. The Merchant speaks "alwey th'increas of his wynning." Since
we have yet to witness the consequences of global climate change brought
about by the excesses of untutored individualism, I think we must
suspend judgment as to whether this change can in any way be considered

I think his views developed over the course of his career, and that the
principles he embraced during the early period of comedies, he came to
revile in the middle period of his tragedies. I certainly don't think
he was unambiguously in favor of the progress to individualism. The
Edmund/Goneril/Regan faction has been used as evidence of a certain
antipathy, while Lear's retainer problem is evidence of some sympathy
with the Barons.

In Reply to: RE: Cost effective cable risers posted by House13 on April 09, 2017 at 08:11:27
Ya' know if you're the type that can't tolerate a little light-hearded joking you really should think twice about posting a picture of cost effective cable risers (w/pice tags attached) used for ease of housekeeping!
Oh, an' Hey! ... if by chance you just happen to have most everthing in the room covered with cellophane ... for ease of housekeeping, or whatever ... then I suggest you consult geoffkait to find out if that's a good idea ... for sound? ;)
Follow Ups:
My decor appears to be very important to you. I have provided one photo to show the lack of any plastic coverings, or "cellophane" as you put it, anywhere in or on the seating area.
I do have one concern with high back listening chairs or some couches that do reflect sound waves and give a false sense of the actually soundstage. This was happening with me with a chair I had like yours. It did sound good but I would notice a difference when I would sit up away from the backing. It kind of did what my screen tv did when it was between the speakers. Threw a blanket over it and it would stop that reflection.
The high back is not an issue because I recline back when I listen. The top edge of the chair back is then below my ears. I also have acoustic panels flanking the chair to the rear which ameliorate any reflective anomolies.
Seems to be an attempt to emulate listening situated at the rear of a closet.
Nothing like a good listening chair. Just a special feeling when you sit down in anticipation of the music.
Given the nature of this thread, I suppose it would be in appropriate to mention that the books do not appear to be in alphabetical order? :) The effect that this has on the sound is something that we audiophiles could go on and on about ad nauseam, I'm sure! LOL
I think the cable lifts look good, and are certainly a more reasonable alternative to the official, insanely expensive ones that one usually sees.
Actually the fiction to the right as you look at the shelves are all arranged alphabetically. The shelving to the left is a mixture of philosophy, religious studies and some history. These are alphabetical within their categories. I could never perceive a sound difference with any alternative arrangement.
I knew you were a good chap! :)
Hi House, looks very nice. Is that an Ekornes chair? I was just thinking about buying one.
Can you tell me how you like it? Comfort, guality etc..
Thanks, Paul
Hi Paul! Yes, it is an Ekornes recliner We have another in the living room and a couch. It is extremely comfortable the leather being soft and supple. You must maintain your alertness and focus to keep drowsiness at bay which is its only possible deficiency. It is preferable to listen to something which maintains your interest at all times!
Ah! Much appreciated.
There are only two negatives about the Ekornes. They are very expensive. Also the foot rest is just that and not an ottoman. It is not designed to support the full body weight. You must remind guests not to sit on it. The chair itself is made very well and comfortable enough to sleep on when fully reclined.

Hack Grads: Hacks that Graduated from Weekend Hackathon to App Store
The Mashery Developer Outreach team is always heading out to hackathons and tech events. They have gone to over 60 in 2012 and the year isn't over yet. We love to see what developers are capable of building in a weekend, or even a day!
Projects at these events are typically are limited in scope. Team building, education and fun are what draws hackers to attend.
While we're often blown away with the quality of these hacks, once the event has come to a close, teams usually walk away having forged new bonds and new brain cells, but not necessarily the next big startup.
Every now and then, a hack emerges that is truly disruptive - like the winner of TechCrunch's Hack Disrupt hackathon in 2010, GroupMe. Their app allows groups to collectively text via SMS (powered by our friends at Twilio) without needing to exchange phone numbers. This app solved a real problem and went on to be acquired by Skype (who was ultimately acquired by Microsoft) for hundreds of millions of dollars.
Mashery has seen it's fair share of hacks graduate from weekend team-building projects to market-ready apps. Here are some of our favorites:
The Klout Chrome extension, which was born at the Klout/Bit.ly Groundhacks Day in February 2011, uses the Klout API to place an influence score next the people you follow when visiting Twitter.com. It went live on the Chrome Web Store shortly after its creation and now boasts over 66,000 users.
ESPN recently launched their SportsCenter Feed web app as the result of an internal hackathon. The app allows sports fans to create a personalized feed of sports news that's most meaningful to them. Read all about it on PandoDaily!
The team from Discovr met the Rovi Cloud Services team at the SXSW Circus Mashimus lounge in 2011, and then integrated their search API in their app in the iOS App Store. With 3 million users strong, Discovr's apps are a high profile example of how APIs can scale quickly and securely.
Find Me Hotel Deals was born at API Hackday Austin in February 2011 using the Hotwire API to show users great, local hotel offers.
Rotten Boxes was created at CodeFaire Nashville in August 2012 using the Redbox and Rotten Tomatoes APIs, allowing users to find the closest films available at Redbox locations and sort them by Rotten Tomatoes rankings.
Qup.tv sends users targeted Netflix suggestions via email, and was born at Hack The Midwest in June 2012 using Netflix API, and covered in GigaOm shortly thereafter.
APIs are allowing innovative ideas to move from conception to reality. They help connect developers with data sets they wouldn't otherwise have access and speed up development time by providing direct access to time-saving code abstractions. Hackathons are a great starting point to demonstrate how quickly APIs can help turn an idea into a legitimate, problem solving tool.

Johnston family donates $100,000 to furnish early education classroom at EMU College of Education
YPSILANTI — A $100,000 pledge from Robert L. Johnston, a long-time friend of Eastern Michigan University and emeritus trustee of the EMU Foundation, will furnish an early education classroom and resource library in memory of his late wife, Gail E. Johnston, who died Dec. 22, 2005.
Gail Johnston taught mentally, physically and financially challenged children during her career as an educator.
The classroom, located in Room 223 of the John W. Porter Building on EMU's campus, was dedicated at a private reception Friday, Sept. 29. Cutting the ribbon to the newly outfitted room and resource library were Johnston and his daughter, Denise Johnston.
Robert Johnston retired in 1994 as vice-chairman of Gerber Products Co., after a 38-year career with the corporation. He has served as chair of the EMU Foundation Board of Trustees and was honored by the EMU Alumni Association with the Dr. John W. Porter Distinguished Service Award in 2005. He is a resident of Fremont, Mich.
"The six faculty in the early childhood education program are very grateful for the Johnston gift. We have a large number of teaching resources which will now be kept in the Gail E. Johnston Classroom and Resource Library for students to use in the more than twenty classes we offer at the undergraduate and graduate levels," said Karen Paciorek, professor of early childhood education.
The classroom and resource library will provide a learning environment for future and current early childhood teachers and leaders.
A corner of the room also will reflect a typical early childhood classroom. Educational materials will be updated using funds from the Gail Johnston Early Childhood Resource Endowment to ensure that the materials are always current.
The early childhood education (ECE) program, part of EMU's Department of Teacher Education, specifically focuses on preparing teachers to work with children from birth through age eight. Students earn elementary certification (K-5th grade all subjects) and state endorsement in ECE.
The graduate program is designed to prepare teachers to be leaders in their programs and advocates for young children and their families.
Eastern Michigan University is a public, comprehensive university that offers programs in the arts, sciences and professions. EMU prepares students with the intellectual skills and practical experiences to succeed in their career and lives, and to be better citizens.

Published: March 8, 2010 at 9:13 AMIts ok, but I am really not a big fan of this movie either. It is a big snoozefest actually for my family (we like to drift off to sleep after walking around all day).
I think it needs an update too, but I do like the idea and concept. The music, while not Disney, is still excellent.
It has gotten better for me, however, after going to the actual France.
Published: March 8, 2010 at 10:08 AMI think this movie and it's music is great. I am probably one of the few who likes every movie at Walt Disney World. I don't care how many times that I have seen each one, I could see each one again and again.
Published: March 8, 2010 at 11:22 AMMeh. I rather spend my 20 minutes sipping on a Grand Marnier Slush while looking out over the lagoon.
Published: March 8, 2010 at 12:44 PMHonestly, I'd rather see Impressions de France than ride the Incredible Hulk Coaster any day. No contest.
Published: March 8, 2010 at 1:23 PMAfter the high-octane mornings in Future World, this is the first thing I like to do in World Showcase. It's very relaxing, and after all the vineyard scenes, following up the film with a glass of wine and the French acrobats outside is perfect on a sunny day.
Beautiful music and stunning imagery, though the film, not footage, feels dated. Regardless, an 8-Commendable in my books.
Published: March 8, 2010 at 1:28 PMThis is a cool relaxing movie. Definitely one of those chill places(with seats!) at Epcot. The movie, unfortunately is dated but it is what it is and its a fine place to go and see a bit of France.
Published: March 12, 2010 at 3:43 PMI prefer to spend my time in France eating an eclair at Boulange de Pasterie and then going to the French gift store and talking like Inspector Clouseau while trying on berets.
The film just can't compare to that!
I did not know that the Hulk coaster stopped at EPCOT. I'll try that next time instead ;-)

Thank you for reviewing this recipe.
This recipe is unbelievable. I am a Welsh Rarebit believer with these. The warm fillings in the crispy "boat" are perfect. I have to disagree with the prep time, though. Mine took quite a bit longer to make. WELL WORTH IT, though. We make these for special occasions because we don't want to over indulge and ruin how great they are.
Sometimes you just want to do something different, healthy , quick and very delicious. WELL HERE IT IS. No need to look anymore as this receipe is tops for breakfast or a quick brunch. It is a hit with my family and guest. Try it I am sure you too will enjoy it.
Wow...I can't even begin to describe the extreme pleasure I get when eating these breakfast boats. Stouffer's...seriously..Nothing Comes Closer to an .........! A definite 5! Mike
