Money, Power and Wall Street is a FRONTLINE special originally shown on PBS about a year ago. In a special four-hour investigation, this documentary tells the inside story of the origins of the financial meltdown and the battle to save the global economy. It explores key decisions, missed opportunities, and the bailouts of financial institutions that citizens of the United States may not know about. These unprecedented moves by government officials and banking leaders have affected the fortunes and futures of millions of people worldwide in fascinating ways. The documentary ends with an exploration of the news rules and regulations that are currently under consideration. Will they be enough to fend off the next financial crisis?
The story of how Herb and Dorothy Vogel assembled one of the most extensive and important collections of 20th century art is quirky, inspirational, and just plain fun. The NYC based couple worked at the US Post Office and the Brooklyn Public Library and spent their evenings and weekends scouting and buying art directly from people who would become some of the most influential artists, painters, and sculptors of the century.
If their story intrigues you, check out the documentary about them, Herb & Dorothy.
The following DVDs may challenge, change, or enhance the way you look at food, the food industry and food culture.
Food Inc. Food Inc. looks at the current state of the corporate/industrial food production systems in the US and the government agencies that regulate those systems; as well as the outcomes these systems are having on our health, the planet, and the economy. Food Inc. has interviews with Eric Schlosser, the author of Fast Food Nation, Michael Pollan, the author of The Omnivore's Dilemma, and Denver Congresswoman Diana DeGette, just to name a few.
Forks Over KnivesWhat would you say if more than one doctor told you most degenerative illnesses could be prevented and/or cured if people stopped eating animal-based and processed foods? The doctors in Forks Over Knives make just such a claim. They also talk about the real life changes they have witnessed in their patient's health and bodies when they do switch to a plant based diet.
Dive!Dive! is a multi-award winning documentary about food waste in America. Did you know every year in the US we throw away 96 billion pounds of food? The creator of the film, Jeremy Seifert, is well aware of this, which is why he dumpster dives for most of his food. If dumpster diving seems nauseating, watch the DVD; you might be surprised! Dive! looks at food as something precious and sacred, rather than just another commodity.
Ingredients Ingredients is about the local food movement, from farmer's markets and chefs who deal directly with local farmers to Community Supported Agriculture programs. It follows food from the farm to the table and features the celebrated chef's Alice Waters, Peter Hoffman, and Greg Higgins.
Have you heard of the Digital Public Library of America? It's a non-profit organization that's taking historical works and archives from several state libraries and cultural organizations and making them available to patrons from all over the world. Part library, part museum, the Digital Public Library of America offers over 2.4 million free resources, has incredible exhibitions of art, photographs and manuscripts, and includes collections from the New York Public Library, the Smithsonian, and the National Archives.
Their website launched just the other day, and it's a great place to go for anyone interested in exploring our history and shared heritage. The wealth of information it conveys is suitable for students at all levels, and contains fascinating insights into thousands of topics. Of course, you don't have to be doing research to enjoy the DPLA! You can think of their site as the ultimate highbrow timewaster! (And come on, you were probably getting tired of playing Pacman, right)?
Three short (40 minute) documentary films will be screened at Standley Lake Library in April and May.

If you like watching westerns, you might try some of the following DVDs:
The Outlaw Josey WalesThe Outlaw Josey Wales stars Clint Eastwood as Josey Wales. Josey refuses to surrender to Union soldiers after the war. He returns home to find his family murdered and that is where his quest for revenge begins. This is one of my favorite westerns because Clint Eastwood gives a great performance as Josey Wales.
Pat Garrett & Billy the KidPat Garrett & Billy the Kid stars James Coburn, Kris Kristofferson and Bob Dylan. Pat Garrett is the new lawman in town and he is in charge of capturing Billy the Kid, his former partner in crime. Who will win – the lawman, backed by cattle interests, or the outlaw, backed by the people? Watch the DVD to find out!
3:10 to YumaRussell Crowe and Christian Bale star in this newest version of 3:10 to Yuma. Daniel Evans, a small farmer, is struggling to keep his land when he gets a chance to make $200 transporting the famous outlaw, Ben Wade, to justice. After losing a great deal of confidence and part of his leg in the Civil War, Daniel Evans is struggling to redeem himself in the eyes of his teenage son. Is Daniel able to save his land and restore the image his son has of him? I guess you will have to watch 3:10 to Yuma to find out!
The ProfessionalsIn The Professionals, a rich Texan rancher hires four mercenaries to rescue his wife from a revolutionary in Mexico. However, not everything is as it seems, as the mercenaries soon find out. The Professionals was made in 1966 and although it has it serious moments, it is a fun and lighthearted western. Jack Palance gives a great performance, along with Burt Lancaster and Lee Marvin.
Reading the Bard's plays isn't for most guys. Thankfully Hollywood has taken care of the culture gap by making some truly arse-kicking (remember, Shakespeare's British), testosterone-fueled adaptations especially for the Die Hard crowd. They are, as TBS might call them, "Shakespeare movies for guys who like Shakespeare movies."
Here's the lowdown:
Henry V - Forget that Laurence Olivier crap. Kenneth Branaugh's version is gritty and violent, and the epic final battle in the mud has everything except girls and a volleyball. Dudes willing to forgive this oversight will enjoy a really intense war movie.
Hamlet - Kenneth Branaugh's adaptation goes for the artsy and is sure to disappoint the bros. You want Mel Gibson's version. To be or not to be Rambo is the question. The body count at the end will tell you the answer.
Romeo + Juliet - "But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?" It's not light breaking through that window, chump: it's a spray of bullets. This update uses all the play's original language but remakes the story into a tale of gangster warfare in Verona. Shakespeare liked his violence. You'll like it too.
Titus - This movie's so intense and bloody it really needs to star Wolverine. Instead we get Anthony Hopkins playing a character so bloody it makes Hannibal Lecter look like a vegan. Want to play a game? Take a drink every time someone loses a body part!
Richard III - Ian Mckellen (that's Gandalf, yo) turned this play into a story about England in the 1930s taken over by a fascist government that looks just like the Nazis. A little bit V for Vendetta, a little bit Valkyrie, there's plenty here to like.
Much Ado About Nothing - Even hardcore guys have to mellow out sometimes. This retelling of Shakespeare's comedy has Keanu Reeves, Denzel Washington and Kate Beckinsale. No blood in this one, but hang out for some laughs because this is a real Shakespeare movie for guys who like Shakespeare movies.
Most people are aware of the countless retellings of Jane Austen's works, especially Pride and Prejudice. Another author who was writing slightly later in the 1800's, but whose works are also considered classics is Charlotte Bronte. The continued popularity of Jane Eyre, in particular, is clear when you look up the title in the library's catalog and see 67 references to books, movies, and articles! Here are a few highlights…

ORLANDO — Innovating in packaging sometimes means solving problems consumers don't realize they had.
Three industry presenters from the Designing Packing that Sells session March 2 at the Southeast Produce Council took a chance and revolutionized their respective categories, from making the difficult-to-prepare artichoke easy at home to taking on one of the "sacred cows" of the mushroom category.
NatureSweet Tomatoes Ltd.'s innovative domed clamshell wasn't initially a hit, said Kathryn Ault, vice president of sales for the San Antonio-based company.
"That was a creation by our design agency we later took to consumers, with the label on top and the ability to dispense from the top," she said. "Initially consumers didn't actually care for the package because they didn't recognize it as an issue they had. Sometimes we can identify a consumer problem before they can and provide a solution. Eventually they say 'Oh, I get it.'"
Keeping consumers up-to-date about the changes, especially when the company transitioned from net bags to domes for its signature cherry tomato program, was important for NatureSweet.
"We actually did communication on the old pack about the new, and on the new pack about the old," she said. "We were trying to keep our consumers informed about the changes."
For Ocean Mist, introducing the Season & Steam Artichoke pack was a process that took years of trial and error, from finding the right technology to deciding the best artichoke to put in the bag, said Kori Tuggle, director of marketing and business development.
"We changed how we presented artichokes to the consumer by eliminating preparation, reducing cooking time and creating a fool-proof cooking method," she said. "The process for artichokes took six to seven years."
For the company's Season & Steam Brussels Sprouts, the process was quicker, less than a year, she said.
Monterey Calif.-based Monterey Mushrooms also had a lot of trial and error in finding a solution for a more sustainable till than the industry standard Styrofoam, Jim Burt, national vice president of sales.
Consumer reaction, even without promoting the change at retail, has been overwhelmingly positive, Burt said, with many comments coming in through Monterey Mushrooms' website, even from customers who cannot purchase the tills in stores in their area.
The environmental benefits are one aspect of the new tills, Burt said, but the new package also offers Monterey Mushrooms other benefits.
"The nice thing about the paper is that it gives us the real estate to talk to shoppers," he said. "We're using it to suggest to consumers all the ways they can use mushrooms."

Fairfax County Has One of the Country's Largest Municipal Bond Sales in Two Weeks
Oct. 2, 2008
News Highlights
- BAN sold at a 2.594 percent interest rate.
- Fairfax County reduces interest rate by 72.4 basis points from previous BAN sale.
- BAN will finance the acquisition of Wedgewood Apartments.
More Information
Despite the ailing municipal market seen in recent weeks, the Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority sold a bond anticipation note (BAN) to refinance a 2007 BAN worth $105.485 million to Banc of America Securities LLC, the investment banking subsidiary of Bank of America, at an interest rate of 2.594 percent.
This BAN sale represents one of the largest municipal bond sales in the U.S. in the last two weeks. The low interest rate obtained reflects the high regard for the county in the marketplace. The BAN was rated at the highest possible level for short-term notes by Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investor Services.
"This is a clear vote of confidence in the financial health of Fairfax County from the marketplace," said Board of Supervisors Chairman Gerald E. Connolly. "Given the unprecedented volatility of the marketplace in the past two weeks, the Board of Supervisors acted in a fiscally responsible manner to protect the county's AAA bond rating, which has saved more than $360 million during the past 33 years."
This BAN is for the rollover of a BAN issued in November 2007 to finance the acquisition of Wedgewood Apartments, which will preserve 672 units of affordable housing in Fairfax County as part of the Board of Supervisors' Preservation of Affordable Housing initiative..
The sale will save the county money since the 2.594 interest rate represents a decrease of 72.4 basis points from the 3.318 percent rate currently paid on the existing note.

OKC to me is the most difficult challenge. Alot can change in a few months, but I don't see SA or even MIAMI, beating us in a 7 game series. They might win 1-2-3 games but I just don't even see a seven game series out of them. OKC is different, Durant is one of those rare, take-over-the-game, win-my-team-to-win players...LeBron has always needed a lot of help (DWade/Bosh)...Durant is carrying OKC with their second best player not even playing. Miami falters when DWade OR Bosh isn't on the court with LBJ.
"Josh Smith Re-building the city of Detroit one brick at a time"Originally Posted by Piston Prince
I don't think there has ever been, at least in my time, a team with no playoff experience, especially not even make the playoffs prior, then get to the finals. Everyone has to pay their dues.
They sure looked good vs Washington last night. Just saying all the teams will have ups/downs. This board will be very down on Pacers in down moments, and back talking about how we should be favorites in our good moments.
Also, please don't act like OKC is better without Westbrook. We went through this last year when they got bounced by the Grizzlies without Westbrook.

Portland this year= Denver last year. Not sure they are built to win in the playoffs. Will they win a lot of regular season? Of course, but relying on the 3, especially in the playoffs, is dangerous.
You gotta crawl before you walk... And walk before you run...
Nothing in life worth having comes easy.
Dude read a post entirely before you disagree. And dont judge a team by there last game. Both us and OKC looked pretty bad last time out anyway.
RIGHT NOW THEY ARE yes but that is exactly why you can not say they are CLEAR CUT favorites when we get to the playoffs because you are comparing them while Durrant is playing out of his mind and they are playing at their best compared to us while we have hit a rough stretch......Will they be contenders yes obviously but you just don't know how the ebbs and flows of an 82 games season will go.....the Pacers have during stretches looked like the best team in the NBA, SA has looked like the best team in the NBA at some points this year and I bet at some point Miami will go on a nice run and look like the best team in the NBA at some point as well.....If you are asking who is currently playing the best basketball in the NBA then yes OKC would be the probable answer but to say they are already clear cut favorites come playoff time is a bit of a loose comment IMO.
At what point has SA looked like the best team in the NBA. And yeah Durant is playing out of his mind, this is his him going 100% IE what he will be doing in the playoffs. Imagine what he will be doing in the playoffs with Westbrook.
Hell they could easily win the championship without him.
They are going to be the underdog until the defeat Miami and go to the Finals
Smothered Chicken!
I don't consider the Pacers underdogs, as they will likely finish with the best record in the East, but the Playoffs will not be a cake walk for the all the way to the ECF. Its shaping up that a team like Detroit will end up getting the 8th seed, and thats a team that is physical enough to give the Pacers fits. Honestly detroit is the last team the pacers would want to see in the first round. THen you have a team like Toronto who is 4th or 5 right now, which means a possible 2nd round match up. Another really tough match up.
Miami as the 2nd seed looks to have an absolute cake walk to the ECF.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
The Heat are the two-time Champions. I don't know if we are underdogs per say, but I wouldn't call us the favorites either.
I understand everyone is enamored with Durant right now, but I don't think he's winning it this year. Blowing his wad too early, was like the DRose MVP season where he killed himself every night and fizzled in the post-season. Can't do it.
OKC beat us...... at their house on the end of a brutal road back-to-back in which we had beaten SA the night before and played tough ones in LA and Portland. It was a brutal road trip, and pure evil on the NBA's part to stick OKC at the end with no break at all. I don't get too worked up about that loss. I still think Indy could smoke OKC in a playoff scenario with their D, length, size and strength. I just don't see Durant pulling it off over 7 games. He's awesome and all.... but put a fresh Paul George on him? He's not gonna be dropping 40 every night. Westbrook back? Put Lance/Hill on him. Stick Hill on RJackson. We have the guys to bother them.

There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
I agree with this I think they can take the East but not sure who they could beat in the West.
We match up horribly with the Thunder. We can bother them but we can't really stop them.
They might be a tough out for us, but I think you're a little too influenced by OKC's recent surge and Indy's recent lull.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
The last time we beat them Danny was still our best player, and Harden wasn't a Rocket yet. Durant, Westbrook, and Harden combined for 75 points. They scored 37 points in the fourth quarter. Despite all of that we still won by 5 points 103-98. Since then we have lost 3 straight.
Looking at the box score it seems the key to beating them is the same as the Heat, Royzilla and BAMF. In the past 4 games both of them of be consistently good on offense. Combined there has only been two games where one of them shot worse than 50%. In those games Roy was 4-9 and West 5-11, which in all practicality might as well be 50%. On the flip side, Paul and Hill have been more bad than good, rarely shooting above 40%. Get Roy and West going early, tell Paul (especially Paul) and Hill to focus on defense, and I think we win more than not.
The biggest hindurance for the Pacers winning the title will be their offenisve efficiency. I dont any championship team has been this poor on the offense. Only the Detriot Pistons have ranked 19th in OFF EFF and won the title in the last 10 years.
The last loss to them, though, and this can't be emphasized enough --- was on the end of a road trip, 2nd night of a back-to-back. It might seem like we have a true 3-game losing streak goin, but that last game was a schedule loss, would have been amazing had we won it.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
We didn't just lose though we were completely run out of the building. Don't give me this crap about back to backs. The Suns just beat us at home after a 4 games in a 5 nights stretch and on the second night of a back to the back. Its not a guaranteed loss and never an excuse for an elite team to get absolutely man handled like we did.
We match up poorly with them, and our last win came over them two years ago and they have gotten alot better since then. So have we but they are still a better team.
We've lost many back-to-backs this season, and almost all of them badly. That's not crap; it's a consistent occurrence. Five of our ten losses this year were on the 2nd night of a back-to-back, on the road. That's 50% of our losses. Whether Phoenix does a better job than us at it than us is irrelevant; this *team* is not good on the 2nd night of a back-to-back on the road.

Doesn't mean its an excuse to lose. Which you were trying to use by calling it a schedule loss. And even if it were an excuse, it would be no excuse to get absolutely destroyed.

Nats put in extra work to get better in field
WASHINGTON -- The Nationals took infield practice Wednesday afternoon. The practice was supposed to be for the reserves, but regulars such as Ian Desmond, Anthony Rendon and Danny Espinosa were also getting in their reps. They asked manager Matt Williams to be part of the action, and Williams obliged.
Entering Wednesday's action, the Nationals were the worst defensive team (.970 fielding percentage and a Major League-leading 23 errors) in baseball, and Williams was pleased that his regulars wanted to get better.
"We want to play clean games. They want that, too. So we continue to work at it," Williams said. "I have to say this is not my idea. This is their idea. They came to us and said, 'Let's do some more.' That's a good thing. They don't want to make an error. Nobody wants to strike out. Nobody wants to give up a homer. So they are working hard [at their defense]."
Williams finds it hard to believe that his team is this bad defensively, and he believes the trend will turn around. To get better, they have to keep practicing.
"This is not the norm. This is a [tough] stretch, and we'll get through it, and I assured them that they will," Williams said. "I can't tell you a reason for it, but that's baffling. There is no real reason that I can see, because everything is the same that it has been. They work hard. Nobody is sitting around doing nothing. That's why I think it will turn. Then we'll do everything we can to make it turn. "

I just put in Fallout: New Vegas. :0
See ya in a year or so.
Which the dialogue in that level is hilarious. Also, there's something special you can do at the menu screen that can unlock several other new modes.
I don't understand how people enjoy playing anything online. Every other word is a eff this eff that, racist, or some 12 year old mouthing off because he killed you. I'll pass.
I usually play with friends, either privately or in a party so we don't hear the dreck. On the rare occasion I play multiplayer on my own, I plug in the headset and don't wear it.
Come to the Dark Side -- There's cookies!
Can't wait to spend the next month+ tearing up that game.
Why would you pass on an entire game because of language when you can instantly mute every single person?
EDIT: I just got back into playing Xbox after a pretty long hiatus. Playing Halo online really burnt me out. I was tired of getting stickied from across the map etc. Then my roommate got Tiger '11, and that got me back into the swing of things. Great game, btw.
Started playing CoD MWII about a week before Black Ops came out. Now we have Black Ops, and been playing quite often.
I don't think I'll ever go back to Halo.

Edit Signature
Oh, I've been playing Fallout New Vegas as well. Decided to go through quickly the first time (twss). And with so many more different outcomes than the previous games, the replay value is so high (twss). In fact I started a new game with some NCAA Football here and there.
Edit Signature
Since, IMO, I think from strictly a gameplay point Black Ops is superior to MW2. The graphics in MW2 were better, but I could never get into the maps and I hated how it just turned into a camping fest as everyone tried to get to the 15+ kill streak rewards.
But seriously. What are you mostly playing online these days?
Do you have Black Ops? I've been on the fence about getting it for $$ reasons, but I'd be more tempted to get it if it meant a reunion tour
The maps are pretty complicated, IMHO, which isn't a complaint. I literally just started playing CoD, ever, a week ago. So I'm pretty much a newbie. I know if you look at my gamertag info, it will show a lot of play, but most of that is due to my roommates using my Live account instead of getting their own. Which I told them was okay with me. Anyways.....
The maps are just complicated, but I like it because it's so realistic. I'm still trying to get the finer points down, but I don't do too badly when it's just me playing. I would say I average about 12 and 15. But a lot of deaths are me forgetting to melee and just not getting the finer points.
I usually play a lot of late night games, after midnight, because I'm usually the only one up.
I'll get a list together of people from here and send out some friend requests. It will be reeb1011.
Oh, and for the record. I just hate playing Nuketown. Although after watching my roommate handle it pretty well last night, I might be a little better at it. It's just way too small for my tastes. There are times when you can't go 10ft without dying because it just respawns everyone in the middle of action.
Dude, Nuketown is the **** once you learn how to play small maps. They are easily the most fun with a good team around you, and my buddies and I got to be really good, especially on COD 4.
You never played COD4 , the original modern warfare, I'm guessing, but it had a map called "Shipment", that was about 1/4 the size of Nuketown. Just a flat square with some metal shipping containers all around. Get a good team with you on that in domination and you could rack up some games where you had 100+ kills.
We usually switch between free-for-all and small team, so usually kills don't exceed 22-23.
I haven't played around with the different games. I hated the challenge games for Halo, like Capture the Flag, so that's why I haven't explored the rest of it.
And one other thing. Is it just me, or is it impossible to hear other people's footsteps? In MW2, my headphones did me up right. Black OPs I can hear crap. It's like footsteps are super muted.
Hey! What're you kicking me for? You want me to ask? All right, I'll ask! Ma'am, where do the high school girls hang out in this town?
More people could be using the perk that allows them to move silently Scott, and I disagree that there is no strategy to Nuketown, it just depends on who you're playing with.
World of Warcraft - Cataclysm launches tonight (Dec. 7, 3:00am EST)
I am so stoked about this expansion and the fact they completely redid the original game world with all new quests and landscapes.
Anyone else playing WoW? I have 4 level 80s. Paladin, Warlock, Mage and Rogue, and it is always hard to pick a main when a new expansion launches. I think I am going to level the Rogue to 85 first. There is no other class that is more fun to play than a Rogue while the whole server is trying to level. That is if you are on a PvP server.
I have a ton of games installed on my computer, but this is probably the only one I will be playing until Star Wars the Old Republic comes out.
I. Can't. Stop. Playing. Fallout.
GT 5 pretty good
How many hours have you logged in New Vegas?
It is one I have on the backburner, but it is near the top of the list of games I want to play. I just have too many games and not enough time.
I'll check and post tomorrow. For the record, it starts out slow but the suspension builds and it just takes a lot of patience and all that in my opinion. there's some cool scenery and I love getting ridiculous guns.
I feel ya about the time, man. If I go out and buy five new games I might not even touch the third game until about July.
I just bought the family a Wii for Christmas....does that count? Other than that....Pacman.
Ever notice how friendly folks are at a shootin' range??.

Current New England Patriots players have largely remained silent about their now-former teammate, Aaron Hernandez, who was charged with murder Wednesday in Massachusetts. But a recently retired Patriot and former teammate of Hernandez did have critical words about him.
"I never talk about other guys, but I will say that I have never embraced—never believed in—anything Aaron Hernandez stood for," former offensive tackle Matt Light told the Dayton Daily News. Light retired after the 2011 season following 11 years in New England.
MORE: Hernandez returns to court | Facing murder charge | Patriots lose their way | More news
The interview took place Tuesday, according to writer Tom Archdeacon, a day before Hernandez's arrest. Light said, as paraphrased by the writer, that Hernandez always had his own agenda—and it wasn't a good one.
The story did not specify what Light believed Hernandez "stood for," or what his "agenda" was.
Light's final two NFL seasons overlapped with Hernandez's first two; they played together on the Patriots team that lost to the Giants in Super Bowl XLVI.
The Patriots have not commented on Hernandez since releasing him shortly after his arrest Wednesday. Fox Sports reported that Patriots rookies attending the NFL's Rookie Symposium in Ohio this week were not made available to reporters on Wednesday.

Two pies in One pie pan Experiment Results
Here's my double pie straight out of the oven. Isn't it pretty?!?
I know everyone is wondering what happened last night after the double pie went into the oven. I ended up baking the double pie for about an hour. The crust that was folded over in the middle didn't quite bake all the way through, but when I make the pie for the contest, it obviously won't have that problem.
I let them cool for about 2 hours before cutting into them. Hubby got home from work REALLY late and we had a small piece to try them out. I was glad to see that both pies were baked through.
The pear and cranberry pie was tasted first. The baked pears were delicious but we both thought the cranberries were too tart. The bites without cranberry were heavenly though. I would definitely make this again with maybe dried cranberries or cooked cranberries? Any suggestions? Katie – did I do something wrong? I could still use this recipe for the contest if I needed to, but it would need some work…
Next came the squash pie. OH my goodness this was very good. Very unique and creative. I don't really know how to describe it. Except imagine a pie that's made by heating up some butternut squash, then adding some pears, dried cranberries, walnuts, brown sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon. After the sugar melts, you stir it all up. The sugar makes this amazing gooey glaze over everything else. Like I said before, I wanted to eat the filling with a spoon. It's a very good, unexpected fall pie.
So as you may have guess, we both voted for the squash pie. We're taking the rest of the double pie over to our friend's house tomorrow so we'll get their votes too. I'll also see how the pies hold up over night since I'll be baking them Sunday night and the contest is Monday at 1:00. And yes, I did consider staying home from work Monday morning to bake, but I thought that would be a bit extreme…
6 Responses to "Two pies in One pie pan Experiment Results"
YUMMY!! That's so cool you made both at once!! I'm soooo going to have to try this! If the pears and the cranberries were very ripe there should be no problem. Ours was almost too sweet! lol! Maybe the cranberries or pears were still not fully ripe? That's my only guess. But you can always add more sugar if you like a sweet pie. So cool!
I did sprinkle some sugar on top, but I didn't measure. I probably didn't have enough… Like I said the pear bites were amazing, but when you got a bite of cranberry you made that sour face. I just bought cranberries that come in a bag. I didn't know they could ripen? Is that the right thing to use?
love the fact there's two-in-one 🙂 they both look lovely!
I am hitting up a Farmer's Market near L.A. Sunday…I think I am going to pick up ingredients to make both pies and take them to a get-together that I am attending Monday! I'll tell you how it goes! THANKS for the inspiration!
Let me know if you want the recipe Loan.
Hello Jen,
Just discovered your site, it's awesome! The squash pie sounds wonderful, do you think I could have the recipe Jen. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

"We have to buckle the hatches down until the economy improves."Board members took no action on Adkins' proposals. Instead, they went behind closed doors to discuss a "personnel issue" -- presumably Adkins' job performance -- for about an hour. Adkins did not attend the closed session.In June, board members ordered Adkins to propose a revised budget and strategic plan to keep Public Broadcasting solvent.The agency had to relinquish $180,000 in unspent funds to the state this summer. The money was left over because several vacant employee positions went unfilled. Public Broadcasting was allowed to carry over unspent funds in previous years."They swooped in and took it [this year]," Adkins told board members.In response, Adkins proposed the following cuts Wednesday:* End the agency's membership in a lobbying group, the Association of American Public Television Stations -- a $26,000 savings. * Switch funding for two employee positions. The change would save $65,500.* Cancel subscriptions for Nielsen Ratings reports for the Charleston and Huntington markets, as well as an Arbitron radio report -- a combined $25,300 in savings. * Cease publication of "Pubcaster," a news and programming guide -- a $46,932 savings.* Stop airing West Virginia University women's basketball games, which would save $23,000.Adkins said the budget cuts wouldn't stop there. The broadcasting agency faces an additional 7.5 percent spending reduction next year, part of statewide budget cuts ordered by Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's administration. "There's going to be some rough waters ahead," Adkins said.Twenty percent of Public Broadcasting's staff is eligible to retire. To reduce costs, the agency would likely "consolidate" employee positions, spreading retired workers' duties among existing staff members, Adkins said."We're going to need pay raises for the extra duties they're taking on," he said.Public Broadcasting has struggled financially in recent years because of a decline in corporate underwriting and fund-raising.Also Wednesday, Adkins defended Public Broadcasting's response to the June 29 derecho storm that knocked out power to thousands of West Virginians.At the time, some state officials raised questions about West Virginia Public Radio's decision to not provide extended coverage of the storm and recovery efforts statewide. Adkins said Wednesday that news director Beth Vorhees was in Houston at a conference that week. Public Broadcasting also lost telephone and Internet service during the storm, he said.He said the agency was taking steps -- meeting with governor's office employees and emergency management officials -- to ensure public radio was prepared for in-depth storm coverage in the future. "We'll be really up to speed the next time that comes along," Adkins said.Reach Eric Eyre at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-4869.

text: INSIGHTS Preparing for the Rise of the 'Culturally Competent' Eyecare Professional By Marge Axelrad Monday, July 22, 2013 12:00 AM The transformation of the U.S. demographic landscape and the continued cultural diversity that is now reflected within it is giving way to new ideas about the roles of health care professionals, eyecare pros among them. Transitions Optical has arguably conducted more research and developed more resources for ECPs and optical retailers around this topic than any company. Its Transitions Cultural Connections projects, the feedback of its own Diversity Advisory Board and such rich and robust resources as its MyMulticulturalToolkit.com ( http://www.mymulticulturaltoolkit.com/) provide a way for optical professionals to learn more and enhance their position in this regard. And, this month, Transitions released a new study on the trend, which backs up the need for cultural competency—based on feedback from patients. New multicultural research from Transitions confirms that while patients highly trust their eyecare professionals, there are steps these professionals could take to enhance this respect further, by promoting cultural competency within their practices and connecting with patients in ways that reflect their values. The survey of 2,600 Americans explored perceptions of eyecare professionals and the eyecare experience among the general population, as well as specifically among Hispanics, African Americans, Asian Americans and American Indians. Survey responses confirmed that the majority of Americans prefer eyecare professionals who are taking steps to promote cultural competency, such as hiring a diverse staff and using bilingual or in-language materials. More than half (57 percent) of Americans surveyed agreed that "the best eyecare practices" include staff members from a mix of races and ethnicities, with ethnic minority groups even more likely to feel strongly about this topic. Approximately two thirds of Americans also agreed that it is a sign of respect for their own, or others' culture when an eyecare professional offers eye health education materials that are bilingual or in another language. "My practice is extremely culturally diverse, both my patient base and my staff," said Kirk Smick, OD at Clayton Eye Center in Atlanta and a member of Transitions Optical's Diversity Advisory Board. "I've found that while it is not necessary for the eyecare professional to be of the same race or ethnicity as the patient to provide quality service and make a good impression, it is certainly respected when the practice as a whole makes a concerted effort to recognize cultural differences and make available bilingual and in-language materials," he said. Today's business climate requires a proactive approach to these important issues. ■ email@example.com

Towns all over Carlton County — like Carlton, Cloquet, Esko, and Moose Lake — are picking themselves up a week after a record flood caused millions of dollars in damage in Duluth and surrounding areas.
Barnum is similar in many ways. With hills on one side and low land on the other, the downtown — all of two blocks long — is a flat area with small businesses lining the main street perched along a river.
American flags hang from the street lights, and dumpsters parked here and there draw people in trucks and trailers, throwing away the contents of flooded basements.
The town seems to be in a quiet bustle, with county highway trucks rumbling through and a backhoe poised by the bridge over the Moose Horn River. The bridge has collapsed from the river's high water. Normally the Moose Horn River meanders around the countryside, flowing into Hanging Horn Lake on the east side of Interstate 35.
But a week ago it turned into a raging torrent. Upstream, a culvert blocked the flow and the river overflowed its banks.
Retiree David Burch lives just a couple blocks from the river. He noticed the water creeping toward his house Wednesday evening.
"I started going into the garage, moving tools to get them in an upper rafter area, and the water's creeping in," he remembered. "I said 'That's it. Time's up, I gotta get going.' Woke up my wife and said 'Get as much stuff as you can together, we're going to have to leave in a few minutes.' "
His daughter Sandi Svoboda and her husband Robert came up from Hastings to help with the clean up. It's taken forever to bring stuff up from the basement, which was full of water. Not just a few inches or a few feet, but nearly to the main floor.
They're concentrating on saving the things with special meaning, like a couple of small stuffed animals.
"The little cat was my mom's focal point when she was in labor with me, and the teddy was my little brother's, and I found them a bag floating in the water," Sandi Svoboda said. "I figured I'd save them at least."
Burch is sad and frustrated.
"I look more for helping other people, because in the military I was a medic, so I feel a little bad that I've got to take care of my work here and I really can't help anyone out right now," Burch said. "But I'm getting help and I said I appreciate it."
The Barnum municipal liquor store is now just a beer garden, with picnic tables and a big tent in the parking lot. Employee Krysta Konieska said the basement was flooded, ruining the tap lines and some inventory. But they've set up an outdoor bar.
"At least we're open so people have a place now to come and take a break from cleaning up their houses," Konieska said.
Outside Lou's Cafe, colorful flowers in window boxes offer a cheerful welcome, and the sidewalk is swept clean. It's a shock to walk inside and see a bare room, with the sheetrock cut off the walls all the way around, about 3 feet from the floor.
David Budge recently moved back to Barnum after living elsewhere for most of his life. He's spent hours here, helping with the cleanup.
"It's a small town, everybody knows everybody, and it's kind of a community center for the town," Budge said. "Lou and Robin Paulson are the owners, and they've been very generous with their time and help a lot of people around town. So I think a lot of people feel obligated to come out and give them a hand, and so forth."
Lou Paulson declined to be interviewed, but he wants to let people know that he's setting up a web page where they can share photos of the flood — in case some people need help documenting the damage to their property.
Residents here — and all over rural Carlton County — are a study in self reliance. They are helping themselves, and getting help from surprising places. The flood disabled the pump station for Barnum's sewage system, but other cities in Minnesota, including Fridley, Zimmerman and Pine City, sent crews and temporary pumps.
Contractors working on I-35 brought a front-end loader to evacuate people from the senior citizen apartments. That image has come to represent the open-handed and improvisational response to the flood.
Carlton County Sheriff Kelly Lake said every community in the county has been affected by the flooding, and the recovery process will be a long one. "Now I think some of the frustrations are going to start coming out, now that we're through the initial emergency and rescue part of it," Lake said. "There's going to be some frustration, but it's a very good community ... I'm confident they're going to pull together and get through this."
The floodwater spared the Barnum Community Church. Church members Lori Koski and Sue Jordan decided to make meals for flood victims and volunteers, and that project has mushroomed into a full-fledged disaster recovery center.
The walls are covered with neat lists; Koski said young volunteers keep them up to date.
"Every day we start with another list, and say 'What are their needs?' " Koski said, "Who's got a sump pump that can go over there? Who needs a freezer taken out of their basement?"
Koski said practically everyone is offering to help.
"One person says 'I have to go,' we turn around and someone else says 'You need me for five or six hours?' " Koski said.
And remember Lou Paulson — at the Cafe — who refused to be interviewed?
"Lou lost everything and he donated all of his food so he could continue to help us feed the local area," Koski said. "People here are just amazing. People that have been devastated are doing what they can do and then they're coming in and asking how they can help."
Koski said people are hoping for help from the county, state, and federal governments. But in the meantime, they're carrying on.

Moonrise Kingdom. I've been a Wes Anderson fan for quite some time, and while I enjoyed the movie, I'm not sure it's one I'll revisit any time soon. Just didn't click like some of his other movies for me in the past.
Good for what it was but the movie was not what I was expecting, very solid morality playesque drama. Denzel is such a great actor...

What do you mean "except it's during his High School years". The first one started out in high school too.
Just didn't like this one. Just too many things reminded me of the first. The lizard hearing a voice just like the Green Goblin did. The whole car over the bridge thing. The final fight scene was just all wrong, including the crane scenes to get to the Lizard. Meh. As soon as the cop dad saw Peter Parker was Spidey, we all knew he was a goner. Letting him live would have added tons more drama. Then kill him in the 2nd. Would have had more emotional impact if you ask me.
The guy as Spidey was great. Lots of humor, which is what I wanted. The dude as Peter Parker was *****ing terrible. Just stuttered a lot and there were way too many awkward silences. Hated that.
2nd one can only go up if you ask me, but after the first, I don't really care about the 2nd. The movie was rushed so the studios wouldn't have to give back the rights to Marvel. Marvel would have done a much better job. Hollywood just gets more wrong than right.
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
They move on from HS to college fairly quickly in 2002 Spider-man. This one takes place over a shorter period of time, flashbacks aside.
Which is why I liked it... The whole mythos or allegory of Spiderman is basically puberty... You know waking up one day being different yet being the same guy, that has the ability to use his hands to spray white stuff.

Anybody check out the Pacific Rim trailer? I gotta say, I was kind of underwhelmed.
It's basically grown up power rangers without the puttys
I think they could change the name of the movie to Godzilla and no one would be the wiser.
Looked pretty good to me.
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
Pacific Rim seems like a movie that I'd have been excited to see as a child, but now I just don't care much. A little curious because Charlie Hunnam of all people stars in it, but the premise is "meh" to me.
Eh, I'll definitely see Pacific Rim at least once because of the concept of giant robots fighting giant monsters will always appeal to my 10 year old self.
Where's your Hobbit review MAStamper??
I did Hobbit IMAX 3D last night, and I really liked it. I haven't touched LOTR in 5 or 6 years, my interest just faded. I'll be watching them this weekend to compare.
I am pumped for this. ^
Did anyone hear of the Avengers tv show?
It's not Avengers, it's SHIELD. I doubt they have any superheroes in it other than some cameos.
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
I liked the Hobbit. I didn't love it, but I definitely liked it. If I felt the LOTR movies were an "A", then I'd give this a "B". I think they could have had one great "A" movie had they put the whole book into one film and left out all of the stuff from other source material (asides, perhaps, the opening scene showing how Erebor was prior to Smaug, that ties directly into the narrative and was great), but stretching it out and padding it like this just brings it down a little bit for me. The good news is, this is something that could easily kill a movie, but in the hands of the folks who made the LOTR, they do as good a job as could be expected with that approach and it still mostly works, even if the pace isn't nearly as satisfying to me as LOTR.
I saw it in good old 2D 24fps. I'm curious about 3D 48fps, so I'm hoping to see it that way next week to see what that's like. I keep reading that it makes it look too real to the point of looking fake because you're suddenly having your brain tell you you're staring at actors in makeup and costumes on a set instead of fantasy characters from another world, and apparently it can cause for some awkward movement/motions. One in-depth review said that the depth of field and the clarity are both so good/expansive that it actually becomes a detriment because your eyes never focus naturally on what they're supposed to, and it draws you out of the performances/emotion/humor because you're too busy processing the entirety of the visual information hitting your brain.
It looked weird a few times, but not uncanny valley weird. Simply said though, it does feel like your eyes can't handle it at times. But I still was able to appreciate the humor and emotion, overall I loved the 3D experience, it felt like a ride (not as much as Avengers).
My feeling is that they needed to do this in this movie in order to get the audiences to relate to the characters, which doesn't really happen in the book. I also feel that the 2nd and 3rd movies will not have this problem, because there is so much action left in the book/appendicies info that there will be a steady stream of action, ala Two Towers and ROTK. I think people will find it a bit faster paced.
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
Did you see it with the high frame rate? I think they're showing it in 3-D but without the high frame rate in most places. As far as I know, the only place that shows the higher frame rate version in Indiana is the Hamilton IMAX in Noblesville.
I only read the book once, and that was 12 years ago or so. So I don't really remember a lot of the details anymore other than what I can recall more from watching that old 1970s cartoon version. What all is left to do? I can think of being in barrels in the river, dealing with spiders in the forest, of course dealing with Smaug, and then the battle of the five armies. Do you really think we need two movies to tell that stuff? I don't.
Silver Lining Playbook.
Really good. Extremely well written and very engrossing. Highly recommend

Beorn, travelling through Mirkwood, spiders, capture by the Woodelves and Bilbo's ability to get them to the barrels, then meeting Bard, then Smaug and his conversation with Bilbo. I assume all of this will be in the next movie. My guess is that the 3rd movie will have the battle of the 5 armies. In addition, there's this entire thing with the Necromancer, and very likely there will be a huge battle against him as well in the 3rd movie. Plus the ending may tie in with LOTR. So I think there's plenty to do.
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
I went to the S. Meridian IMAX. I had no idea they were displaying different frame rates. I should of been all over that.
I think I'm going to see "Lincoln" tonight. Any thoughts?

In what way?
What do yo mean by "guilt"?
Just the run-of-the-mill meaning. That you might be breaking the law, get yelled at, that sort of thing. Anything that makes you nervous about what you are doing. Nothing deep or specific to Buddha-Dhamma, except that if you feel guilty or nervous it's distracting.
To spell it out in an extreme way, if you're worried the police are going to break down your door because you stole something, or killed someone, then that's not going to very conducive to Dhamma practice...

The hackathon we co-hosted with Sauce Labs last week to dive into Appium, the open source tool for mobile automation, was a brilliant success. Thank you to all who came out! We had such a great time that we plan to hold another hackathon soon.
We had a full house of 30 or so Appium hackers ranging from the Appium-curious to those who have Appium code imprinted in their cerebral cortex. And participants were not limited to the just Bay Area — we had a couple folks get in on the action from remote locations via a G+ hangout, something we hope to encourage in the future. There was even a real, live, bona fide Appium robot in the house, courtesy of Dan Cuellar from Zoosk.com – one of the Tapster robots that holds a pen and controls a physical mobile device via Appium.
Hackathons are one way we at Rackspace encourage and promote a strong open-source community as well as strong testing practices for the software development world. Appium was built to make it easy to test any native mobile application in the same way the Selenium allows us to test web browsers. We hope that by employing the Webdriver API from the start and not requiring any extra compilation for testing, Appium will help unite the testing community around mobile testing in a way that does not currently exist.
One sign that it was a successful event was that everyone who attended learned or achieved something. Testers who needed a leg up installing Appium successfully saw their application automated. On the other end of the spectrum, we had some lively discussion around Fruitstrap and iDeviceInstaller for automated installs of mobile apps to mobile devices, as well as some prodding and probing of the Instruments binary for possible parallel execution of tests.
As organizers and co-hosts of the event, we gained a new appreciation for the interest surrounding Appium. "It's really exciting to see so much enthusiasm," said lead Appium developer Jonathan Lipps, "we really believe that this tool will make a difference, and it's encouraging to see that others think so too."
With the response that we received from this first hackathon, we plan to hold another. If you want to join us next time, here are some ways to hear about the event:
- Join the Discussion List
- Join the IRC channel #appium on irc.freenode.net
- Watch this very blog
- Visit the official Sauce Labs blog
- Visit the official Appium blog
- Check out Rackspace's Twitter stream
Regardless of where you are or what your interest level is in Appium, we welcome everyone to join in the fun.

i have a site i have been designing ( almost finished) that was due to go live next week but my boss has decided tomorrow is the day ! problem i have is i have tested it on all browser types ( ff4, IE9, chrome, Opera12.2) but just sent a demo to my boss and he cam back fuming that it was "far" from finshed checked on the browser he was running(IE8) and non of the styling is showing checked on other older broswers and ff3 and IE 8 and below dont desplay anything other then text!
any help would be great i have attached the CSS if you need the files for the site happy to pm a link.
It's always important to test your site in the major browsers as you go, rather than the day before launch.
We'll need to see a live link to help with this, as the CSS file is unlikely to be the problem.
Make sure your pages have a valid doctype.
I was testing it across browsers and was going to test older version next week but deadline has been brought forward! um new site is here http://peppublishing.co.uk/new/index.html
Hm, definitely something wrong there. There is hardly anything on your page at this stage. Is that intentional? You should run your page through the validator, as there are quite a few errors that could be messing this up a bit. The code needs a lot of work in various ways. For example, all those
 tags are out of place. You should be using margin/padding etc.
You are also using some new HTML5 elements (like  that have no support in older browsers, so you need to help them out in some way, such as with the HTML5 shiv. Also, if you are going to use those elements, you should have an HTML5 doctype, rather than an old HTML4 transitional doctype.
yes its under the click of the images of the magazine ( dont ask its the way boss wants it) "clean" aparently ok heard of "padding" instead of break lines how does that work? can you show me an example.
The thing you should focus on first is the validation issues. But anyhow, an example would be that if you want space between the nav and the maincontent, don't use breaks, but put soething like this in the CSS file:
#main-content {
margin-top: 40px;
As Ralph said you will need the html5 shiv to see anything at all in ie8 and under as they don't understand the new html5 elements.
You have also used css3 (linear gradients/border-radius etc) so you won't see those in browsers that don't support them.
dont mind about the gradients its more the fact the nav bar just doesnt exist looking into this html5 shiv does work for the nav bar to a point - none of the drop downs appear? and the images dont show is this todo with css3? fixed the validation errors they were just few "/" missing here and there problem from switching from dreamwever at home to using the free aptana studio ( freelance to employeed and they wont pay for me to get it in the office)
ideas welcome for setting this up for pre IE9 is the main concern as anyone with ff opera will probarly be on the latest but xp users cant get IE9.
Where have you uploaded the shiv file to?
It seems you are calling it from here (http://peppublishing.co.uk/new/dist/html5shiv.js) but its not there.
I've tested locally and your menu will work in ie8 if you add the shiv.
You also need to remove the width="auto" from your image as that is not a valid attribute value and will probably stop it showing in some browsers as they may treat auto as zero.

add it and tested it on a VM dev box local uploaded it now to that folder and i'v removed the width tag - still cant get the dropdowns to appear no matter how ugly.
The dropdowns are appearing in IE8 ok now. You will of course need to supply background colours to the nav itself to make up for the lack of gradients etc otherwise it will just be white.
The three big images are not showing because I think you have saved them as bitmaps instead of jpg (or are corrupted) as each image is a massive 600k+ which is almost 100 times a larger file size than they need be.
I've attached the three images for you to use optimised down to a usable file size.
To be honest you are using advanced techniques when you don't seem to have a grasp on the basics and although we can point you in the right direction you do have a lot of reading/learning to catch up on first We can help you learn how to do it properly but it will take some time and won't be a quick fix as such.
thanks yea there large at the moment as I'm currently working of a local VM so its not been a problem i will be optimising the files before they go live - thanks for the heads upi used to use my coding alot few years ago but been out of the loop a while and so just having to scrub the rust off.
i enjoy the reading and implementing but with so much do need a helping hand to prod in the right direction.

Headley welcomes rest after first full game
SAN FRANCISCO -- Third baseman Chase Headley was certainly excited about playing in his first game of the season Wednesday in Los Angeles.
He was pretty excited about Thursday as well, as the team had an off-day in San Francisco before opening a three-game series Friday at AT&T Park.
Sightseeing excursion? Not exactly.
Headley said he needed the day to recuperate from playing nine innings for the first time since coming back from a fractured tip of his left thumb. He missed the first 14 games of the season.
"It was good timing. I was tired," Headley said Friday. "That's the first time I've played nine innings all year. I'm definitely not disappointed we had yesterday off after a [nearly] four-hour game."
Headley went 1-for-4 with a walk and an RBI single in a 7-2 victory over the Dodgers that gave the Padres their first sweep of a series of three games or more at Dodger Stadium since 2006.
In four Minor League rehabilitation stints with Class A Lake Elsinore, Headley played seven, seven and five innings defensively at third base before rejoining the team.
Headley was in the starting lineup Friday and hit third against the Giants, rapping a sacrifice fly in the first inning. If history is any indication, he'll be in there a lot, as he's played in at least 156 games in three of the past four seasons.
Now, he said, it's just a matter of getting his body used to playing every day again.
"It's going to take a little time to get into the usual grind with my body," Headley said. "But I think it will come back quick."

Stuffed in the City Toy Traveling Adventure
Stuffed in the City Gives Loveys a Big Town Adventure
Tots who've dreamed of a visit to the Big Apple, but haven't made it there can send their favorite toy. Stuffed in the City, a toy-traveling firm, arranges tours of New York City for a child's favorite doll or lovey to experience the big city over the course of a week (starting at $50). Tour participants visit landmarks and their trip is documented with photographs in each location. When the tour is over, the toy is returned along with both printed and electronic copies of the photos, a certificate, and a token souvenir.
The company arranges approximately 25 tours each month, many of which customers customize with added stops that have personal meaning for them. While most toys are sent in from the US, SITC has seen visitors from as far away as Russia, China, and Australia. They are in talks to expand to other cities. The company offered my son's beloved teddy bear a complimentary "Full Throttle" tour ($100). Check out his big city adventure!

"It's the mark I leave in every stationers shop when testing pens, and I often wonder if there's someone looking over my shoulder ready to put this up on eBay or something." Sue Webster
Since Tim Noble and Sue Webster's first solo show in London, British Rubbish in 1996, the duo have enjoyed international recognition with solo exhibitions at Rockefeller Plaza, New York, 2008, The Freud Museum, London, 2006, CAC Malaga, 2005, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, 2004, P.S.1/MoMA, New York, 2003, Milton Keynes Gallery, UK, 2002, Deste Foundation, Athens, 2000 and The Chisenhale Gallery, London, 1999. Their work was included in Statuephilia—Contemporary Sculptors at The British, London in 2008–09 and in the exhibition Apocalypse—Beauty and Horror in Contemporary Art, at The Royal Academy, London, 2000. Toxic Schizophrenia (Hyper Version) their first permanent public sculpture was unveiled at Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver, May 2009. Previously the public art installation Electric Fountain, was exhibited at Rockefeller Plaza, New York, February 2008. In 2009 the Trustees of the National Portrait Gallery selected The Head of Isabella Blow for inclusion to its permanent collection.
Their work is in the permanent collections of the Arken Museum of Modern Art, Copenhagen; Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide; Artis-François Pinault, France; Berengo Studio, Venice; The British Museum, London; Dakis Joannou Collection, Athens; Es Baluard Museum, Palma, Spain; The Goss-Michael Collection, Dallas; Honart Museum, Tehran, Iran; Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; National Portrait Gallery, London; The Olbricht Collection, Berlin; Project Space 176–The Zabludowicz Collection, London; Saatchi Collection, London; Samsung Museum, Seoul, Korea; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York.
Noble & Webster have created a remarkable group of anti-monuments in their seventeen-year career, mixing the strategies of modern sculpture and the attitude of punk to make art from anti-art. Their work derives much of its power from its fusion of opposites, form and anti-form, high culture and anti-culture, male and female, craft and rubbish, sex and violence.

There's no one left that is really good and we don't have much cap space anyway
"Josh Smith Re-building the city of Detroit one brick at a time"Originally Posted by Piston Prince
no, unless you get someone like barbosa that can play. otherwise, let's watch the guys play and save the last slot for fixing whatever needs to be fixed at the trade deadline.
Leandro Brabosa; we most certainly did not see his best.
I would still like to add another wing player. I know we have Green, Stephenson and OJohnson, but I would like a vet on the wing in case anything happens to Danny or PG. I know we can slide Hill to SG as well, but I would like to add someone like Delfino if possible, though I expect a team like the Rockets to overpay him since they missed out on Howard.
Also wouldn't mind Pietrus, or bringing Barbosa back. On the fence with Josh Howard and Michael Redd depending on their health.
Unsure about PF spot. We've heard rumors of Tolliver and Craig Smith... Not really exciting. I actually would prefer a guy like DJ White or gamble on someone that's low risk like Yi JianLian, Al Thornton.
If not a wing, m
Keep an eye on Houston. They have around 20 players right now, and it seems like half of them are PFs. They'll have to waive or trade a number of them now that the Dwight trade option is gone. I'd offer next year's first for Patterson, but I don't think Rockets will go for that.
This may be the best thought for now. Houston will have to do something, or swallow some salaries by releasing players.
The Pacers should always be on the lookout for someone good regardless of the position...... It is nice to keep a spot open for flexibility too.... ... Shift+R improves the quality of this image. CTRL+F5 reloads the whole page.
Before the season? Nah. Let's go into the year seeing what we have. I am sure as things progress with us and other teams around the league (injuries, etc.), new options will open up. I'm content to head into the season with what we have. We can always make more moves during the season. Anyone available at this point in free agency is a very replaceable player anyway.
I think the Pacers are good as they stand currently. A pretty solid lineup, for the most part. Once they get on the court together, and start to see how actually "ready" Miles Plumlee is, as well as how our other players work together, then we can make some decisions. Though our wing rotation is comparatively young, I think there is enough level-headedness to make up for the lack of actual veteran experience. I'm really excited to see what this team can do, and the preseason cannot come early enough. I really hope our team is as good as I think they are. Granger may be right: we could be the #2 team in the East this year. Solid starting line-up intact, much better bench behind them. We're going to do big things this year.
witters: @imbtyler, @postgameonline
probably not. DC+pick should be more than enough though. they need a better backup/insurance at point. and DC fits their system.
oh wait.
He was a lot better/more valuable than some of you think IMO.
You're saying we can't even challenge for the top 2 seeds? LOL
Yeh, they will compete for the top two seeds. Maybe third. Just like they did last year, when they weren't as good as they are this year. Derrick Rose is rumored to be out for the whole season. That, like MJ's run to baseball in the '90s, opens up a spot at the top of the East for either the Pacers or Heat to slip into. There is not a team better in the East who have the chemistry, youth, and potential we do. Even the Knicks, after getting Carmelo and Amar'e, were struggling to perform because they don't play well with each other.
Although, I'm not proclaiming any of this to argue with you, because I know you'll come back with some baseless statement that's only going to **** off myself and others here. I'm just stating my claim.
witters: @imbtyler, @postgameonline
Tracy McGrady, Andray Blatche or Kenyon Martin. Any One of those guys would make total sense. Blatche especially. Pacers can turn this guy around, and Green especially can tell this guy that it's better to work your *** off in be in the NBA than playing in the NBDL. Pacers really need a PF that can challenge Hans for the backup spot. I'm tired of Hans getting so many free passes just because he's a first rounder and a guy like Lance doesn't get a fair shake (although Lance should get his chance this season).
Pendergraph has no talent. At least Blatche does and he'd be cheap, so low risk, high reward.
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
I think we might as well sit on Tyler for the time being. I mean we did draft him so until we trade him or his contract runs out he is still here on the team. Personally I hope after a month or 2 a team will get frustrated with its line up and want to make a move. Maybe that team is Utah with Milsap or some other young athletic PF. Either way Tyler isn't a big fixture on this team unless he drastically alters his play as a backup.
I'm a Beast
at most we can sign some 1 year player that is willing to compete for 10 to 15 mpg at the wing spot....or some veteran Forward that would take the vet minimum while trying to babysit the youngins'. Since I don't see Granger being moved....nor have the assets to upgrade Hansbrough.....what we see now of our roster is what we will have going into the season.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
There just isn't anyone available who would really help this team. The time to make another move would have been before we signed Hill and Hibbert and the F.O. knew that Scola was available. At this point we need to see what we have and take advantage of any opportunity that makes sense before the trade deadline. A few teams may want to dump salary before the harsh taxes kick in next year.


text: SCENE + HEARD Park Slope Eye Exhibits an Eye for Art By Staff Monday, August 27, 2012 12:00 AM NEW YORK—Park Slope Eye optical boutique hosted an opening earlier this month in Brooklyn, N.Y. with local artist James Giardina, an abstract painter based in the borough. In true Brooklyn fashion, the intimate but chic event showcased Giardina's work while simultaneously drawing attention to the shop's equally edgy aesthetic. The amiable atmosphere of the event was likely due to the demeanor of Park Slope Eye owner Justin Bazan, OD, who drew a crowd largely composed of his and the artist's friends and neighbors. Attendees were able to chat and sip on local beer and wine provided by Bazan, making the event more of a social than business gathering. The alliance between Bazan and Giardina, formed by a mutual friend, left both parties pleased with the night's outcome. Bazan expressed confidence in the artwork's ability to generate interest in his shop, and Giardina, too, welcomed the exposure. ■ A display of frames and paintings. Justin Bazan, OD stands before his store's frame selection and the recently featured paintings. The crowd enjoys refreshments and the paintings of artist James Giardina.
