text: My teenaged son went out to dinner with friends over the weekend and had a Japanese dish with udon noodles. He loved the sauce, but couldn't really tell me much about it except that it was mildly spicy and tasted really good. It was vegetarian. He would like me to make something similar for him, but I'm not the most talented or creative cook and could use some help with a recipe or 2. I'm not familiar with Japanese cuisine (sauces, spices, etc.). Thanks for any help you can give. Oh yes, please, the recipes must be fairly easy (no more than 30-45 minutes tops, from start to finish. Thanks again!

Ball State Ends Ohio's Convo Winning Streak< < Back to
The Ball State Cardinals never trailed Saturday afternoon, as they made their first six shots from the field to go on to hand the Bobcats their first loss in the Convocation Center by a score of 79-63.
The Cardinals put on a shooting clinic in both halves, shooting nearly sixty-percent from the floor and landing four of their players in double-digit point totals. Ball State led by as many as 19 points in the first half and appeared to be the better team throughout the course of the game.
Ball State established a quick presence in the low block early and continually dumped balls in deep to standout sophomore guard Nathalie Fontaine. Fontaine finished with 20 points and four rebounds and led the Cardinals in scoring. When the Cardinals didn't want to go down low, they had wide open options at the wing as Jill Morrison knocked down five of the six shots she attempted from beyond the arc. Morrison only averages 10 points a game this season thus far, but finished with 19 points, four assists, and three rebounds.
Kiyanna Black and Quiera Lampkins led the scoring for the Bobcats with 23 and 19, respectively. Black attempted 23 shots from the field, sinking nine of them. Lampkins also added six rebounds, four of which came off of the offensive glass.
The 'Cats were momentum filled before tip, but head coach Bob Boldon and the players agree this is a game they want to forget.
"Not mentally tough enough to compete," said Boldon. "The nice thing about not being real good, is you have plenty of this to work on."
The free throw struggles also continued for the Ohio, as they finished 10-18 from the charity strike dropping their season average below sixty percent.
The Bobcats made a small push to cut the Cardinal lead to twelve late in the first half by forcing turnovers and snagging a few steals. Turnover margin has been a leading factor in Ohio's success thus far, but it was a different story Saturday afternoon. The 'Cats had only given up 12 turnovers in their last two games but committed 20 against the quick Cardinal defense.
Ohio will look to rebound on Thursday January 23 on the road at Akron (8-8,2-3). Akron is coming of a 26-point victory over the Kent State Golden Flashes. With the loss, Ohio falls to 8-8 (3-2) on the season.

Having an attitude of I-know-what's-best-for-my-studio is exactly the kind of attitude that often times holds studio owners back from having a flourishing business. At BizeeBee, we often see this as one of the signs that a studio is going to be closing down their business soon.
Successful studios have learned to blend and balance feedback from their community.
However, we understand that as an owner you cannot listen to everyone! Here are 3 tips for how to evaluate feedback from folks within your community to figure out if you should incorporate it into your business.
1. Is the feedback aligned with current business goals?
Let's say that for example you have a goal that by the end of the year you'd like to attract more members to your studio. So if someone comes up to you and offers a suggestion on how you can attract more members, then it might be worth at least taking the time to listen to.
The key is to ask some follow up questions like, "Do you know any other studios that have done what you've suggested and seen results?" and "Would you mind putting me in touch with them?"
The reason you're asking these follow up questions is to get more details on how the suggestion was actually implemented, and if it was in a studio like yours. You want to be sure that the suggestion actually applies to your business' situation.
2. Is the person who is giving you feedback reputable?
If this is the first time you're interacting with the person, who is giving you feedback, it can be hard to gauge whether they are a reputable or credible source. It's up to you to give them the benefit of the doubt. You can start by digging into their background a little by saying something like, "That's an interesting suggestion. I'm curious to know what your background is?"
It's possible that they might be a studio owner themselves, a business coach, or someone in the biz who has a lot of experience.
But if they are just some schmuck off the street, then clearly you can thank them for the suggestion and move on!
3. Can you try to implement a portion of their feedback?
There are those who think BIG, and offer a suggestion that you wish you could implement in your studio but you just don't have the resources!
In this case especially, it's important to take a step back, and say something like, "Wow that is a great idea! Unfortunately, I don't have the resources to make it happen. Can you think of a way that maybe we could implement a portion of it or scale it back a bit?"
Put a little pressure on them to think through their own suggestion. If they are really interested in seeing you flourish they will take the time to refine their suggestion and come back with something a little more bite-sized for your business.
Now at BizeeBee, we want to know have you recently taken a suggestion from a member of your community? If it did end up benefiting your business, what were the steps you put in place to make it happen?]]>
Since joining BizeeBee, Michele and I have been exchanging emails for awhile, and finally decided to meet up. At BizeeBee, we make it a point to meet up with as many of our customer as we can periodically. It helps us to get a better understanding of how they use BizeeBee, and if there are any needs that are going unfulfilled.
During our meeting, Michele's objective was to understand how she could leverage the product to do more. I began by pointing her to a couple resources that she wasn't familiar with. The first was our set of short video tutorials, which we've created to make it easier for business owners to get setup, and for them to be able to train staff without having to actually train staff.
Next, Michele wanted to know how to see all her attendance data. Her goals were to understand how many students were coming to each class by day and by month. So I took her on a little tour of the Dashboard. I pointed out how she could start by filtering based on a date range. Then she could see all the classes that were taught for that date range, along with the types of classes, and the total attendance. Next if she clicked into a particular month she could get a daily view of attendance. Finally, if she wanted to know the performance of each of her instructors, she could switch over to the instructor graph, and see how many students were coming to each instructor's class, and do the same daily drill down.
I also learned a lot from meeting with Michele, and I realized that we need to do a better job of showcasing how to use our product so that business owners like Michele can get the most of out it.
Making it a point to meet with as many of our customers as possible has enabled us to understand what is and isn't working for them. While each customer may have specific needs, we try to take into consideration those specific needs to see if any of them fit into a general solution. If they do then we'll incorporate it, if they don't then we'll either do our best to address their needs individually, or wait until we reach a critical mass for the request. Ultimately, we want to stick by our principle of simplicity to service small fitness businesses.]]>
While working in the yoga industry in various capacities since 2008, Kara and Mel noticed that though the yoga industry in US is propelling to a $10B industry, yoga teachers barely make ends meet each month. A large number of seasoned teachers who put in a lot of extra effort to make classes and trainings fantastic, but aren't being compensated for their efforts. This was the problem that inspired the birth of: The Yoga Recipe, the goal being to foster the teacher-teacher relationship.
The Yoga Recipe started with a mission to create an energy and monetary exchange between seasoned and new teachers that elevates both the yoga community and most importantly the students. Unlike most of the resources available, The Yoga Recipe is based on teacher resource and focus on teacher-teacher relationship.
The Yoga recipe was launched in May 2013 and is currently in beta phase. The Yoga Recipe team is working hard to improve the application based on the feedback they are receiving from yoga teachers. The team is taking every call and email seriously! Incorporating new features to the application based on the feedback they receive in order to build an application that will truly help and improve teachers' lives. Being 100% self funded till now, The Yoga Recipe is also open for potential investors that share their passion and interest in expanding The Yoga Recipe and offerings.
After receiving BS in Business Marketing from the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse in 2008, Kara joined yoga-retailer Lululemon Athletica. In 2011 Kara took her yoga practice to another level and completed Gioconda Parker's 200-hour teacher training program. At Lululemon Athletica Kara met Melissa Frontino, aka Mel. Mel received undergraduate degree from Bowling Green State University in Ohio, in Communications and Marketing. After gaining experiences in medical sales industry she was inspired to pursue the following:
Connect with people in an authentic way
Be a part of the yoga community every day
Share possibilities with as many people as she could
BizeeBee is thrilled to showcase the efforts of Kara and Mel as they continue to build The Yoga Recipe. If you're a yoga teacher checkout The Yoga Recipe today!]]>
Since many of you are bizee building I've come up with this sustainable studio series. In this video series we will explore 1 suggestion every week to help you build a sustainable studio business!
Even if you're a private instructor and don't have a studio you can make use of these suggestions to build a sustainable business.
In the past few episodes we covered systems you need to put in place to create a sustainable business like marketing and financial tracking systems.
In this next set of episodes we're going to cover some of the touchy subjects that are holding your business back from becoming a sustainable business!
One of the main issues I see time and time again that hold business owners back from building a sustainable business is pricing.
In today's episode I'm going to encourage you to not be a pushover when it comes to pricing!
I know its a recession out there but if you don't price your services correctly you'll be facing a depression!
Let's first cover why you need to be pushy?
I know you're passionate, and would share your service with your customers for free! But have you ever noticed that even when you giveaway things people sometimes don't bother to show up? Or worse yet they take advantage of something that is free or discounted. That's because you are undervaluing your service and as a result so are your customers.
The most effective and standard way to convey that what you are offering is of high value is through by price.
I know you're going to tell me that other businesses around town are cheaper. Great! They have most likely worked out a magic formula that covers all their operating costs and turns a profit. Or they might just be deluding themselves. Don't worry about those folks. Think about your business and what you need to make in order to become profitable.
So now let's talk about how you effectively price.
The first thing you need to do is figure out what you your number is i.e. what you absolutely need to make either per hour, day, class or whatever your basic unit is. Stick to this number! Do not go below that number. Going below the number will not lead to a sustainable business.
The reason you need to figure out your number is because you will start to believe that is your number and you will be genuine when you convey it to your customers.
If a customer scoffs at your price, you could explain to them kindly why your rates are as high as they are. For example, if you are teaching private class you need to factor in the cost of gas or a train ticket to get to the customer. Or your business might be in a high rent district.
Not every customer cares or is willing to listen, but some might understand. And you'll be surprised at the number of customers who actually come back to you despite your price if you do indeed follow through with a quality service.
There are those who might walk away, but truthfully servicing at a lesser price is actually putting your business in jeopardy, because you're now paying to service them!
The important point is to stand your ground and know your value. I've come across many businesses in the past couple years whose owners kept discounting, and eventually went under because of it.
To recap, I know it seems like everyone is price sensitive these days, and they are. But you still need to value your service and have others value it. Figure out your pricing, what that number is, stating it boldly, and not budge on it because that's what is going to help you build your sustainable studio!
Thanks and we hope you have a great day!]]>
As you embark on this new journey, you might decide to work at a yoga studio, and teach private lessons as well. If you have even the slightest interest in turning your teaching practice into a business then you'll need to think about how you're going to keep track of your students. Your students will become your initial client base.
Given that you're operating with limited time and resources, we came up with a solution to help private instructors such as yourself focus on what you love to do, teach! By incorporating a BizeeBee online store into your website you'll get paid and keep track of students easily. No need to go through an enter data each time you each. Or worry about getting paid on time. Setting up is a cinch!
Here's an example of what your online store will look like:
Here's an example from one private yoga instructor's site:
So if you are about to start your career as Yoga Studio give us a chance to make it easier for you and sign in for BizeeBee online Store.
Need help setting up your online store, feel free to reach out. We're available via email, chat, or give us a call at 650.489.6233. We look forward to helping you grow your business!

He might be wearing a helmet and rattling along at anything up to 290km/h, but he's sitting calm and relaxed. Nothing takes him by surprise and he always seems to know what's going to happen before it happens.
Because of that, not because he is about to be confirmed as a four-time V8 Supercar champion and the best of his generation, Whincup is a great example to all of us. He even ensures his in-car radio calls to the pits and the Seven commentators are hands-free and never distract him from his driving.
"It's a bit of a myth that to drive fast you have to drive erratic. That's definitely not the case," Whincup tells me this week. He emphasises the effort that goes into the job of driving, whether it's fighting for first on the track or ensuring a nice life on the road.
"A lot of my study, and I suppose the art form of what I do, is making the car work for what I want it to do. That's making sure I have the weight on the front wheels when I want to turn, the back wheels when I want to accelerate, and the right side of the car for cornering." If you think he's just talking about racing, you're wrong.
"Driving on the track is no different to driving on the road. It's important to keep the inputs as smooth as possible. That's everything: the steering, the brakes, and the accelerator." What Whincup says is not new, but it's a timely reminder from a driver who has re-set the standard in V8 Supercar racing and also knows he is a role model to people across the country.
"I can tell straight away when I get into a car with a bad driver," Whincup says bluntly. "A good driver on the road will never have to slam the brakes on or take evasive action unless someone else does something unexpected or dumb. They shold be processing information well before it happens."
For Whincup, who effectively wrapped up the V8 Supercar series last weekend at Winton, nothing is ever good enough. Just like his role model, tennis champion Roger Federer, he's always thinking and learning and practising. He makes driving look so easy because he works so hard. When his super-talented team mate Craig Lowndes finishes at 6pm, Whincup will work until midnight if he thinks he can find something extra.
We can all learn something from Whincup, even if it's just a tiny little thing that makes a trip to the shops a little safer today than it was yesterday.

Part Mexican, part Italian and sometimes a fusion of both, MexItalian Restaurant offers a bright array of fresh options
Jean-Pierre (JP) Iuliano, co-owner of Café Mare, and Fernando Vasquezmatias who hails from Oaxaca, Mexico have worked together since their days at Star Bene. Their new endeavor, MexItalian, combines Old and New World ingredients and recipes in unexpected ways.
The Water Street restaurant's interior is relatively unchanged from its previous incarnation where glass tops protect brick red fabric tablecloths. In the cabinet, shakers of Parmesan and oregano share the shelves with bottled hot sauces. The menu includes a number of vegetarian and gluten-free options, and Vasquezanatias said everything is made from scratch.
For an appetizer, three fresh corn tortillas were stuffed with garlicky bites of shrimp and deep-fried as Empanadas de Camaron ($7.50). They were served with a timbale of charming fresh roasted jalapeño and lemon salsa.
For a basic vegetarian sandwich, the Oaxaqueño ($6.50) featured a soft Mexican roll stuffed with quesillo—like string cheese but tastier—tomatoes, avocado, lettuce, pickled jalapeños and spread with bean paste, which I thought could have been more abundant and flavorful.
The al Pollo Panino ($7) is sure to be a longtime winner. A six-inch loaf of francese bread held nicely seasoned, butterflied grilled chicken breast with red onions, tomatoes, avocadoes and quesillo. It was dressed with an extraordinarily flavorful, rich, smoky chipotle mayo.
Typically, a plate full of fries is all that remains of my lunches, but not at MexItalian. The hot, crisp quarter-inch fries were lightly seasoned with a house blend of spices, including paprika, and were good 'till the last stick.
On my second visit, I was looking forward to one of MexItalian's unique salads, but with the daily special, a bowl of Chantrelle Mushroom Chowder ($5), which was also served in a house-made bread bowl ($7), I switched gears. The creamy parsley-topped soup, flecked with minute bits of colorful carrot and loaded with meaty mushrooms, was the perfect cure for a cold, rainy day.
A fusion entrée, Parmigiana Mexicana ($10), was served with rice and beans. The server mentioned it was kind of hot. Thin layers of tender fried eggplant were topped with fresh salsa that by itself bordered on diabolic, but was mellowed by the earthy, Parmesan-laced vegetables. I topped it with more Parmesan. The seasoned rice was moist, and soft whole pinto beans were sprinkled with fresh cheese.
The MexItalian Salad ($7.50) is a take on caprese with kalamata olives, tomatoes, red onions, soft, fresh mozzarella and nopalitos cactus strips all drizzled with rich basil pesto.
A selection of ten-inch pizzas is also available including the Margherita ($7) with cheese and marinara, and a kid-friendly Pizza Americana ($8.50) topped with sliced hot dogs and French fries. The thin and crisp-crusted MexItalian ($10) is a hot sausage-lover's special. Spicy marinara was topped with mozzarella roasted red bell peppers, bits of nopalitos, red onions and chili-studded sausage.
Pizadilla ($6.50) is like a quesadilla, layered with ham, tomatoes, red onions, mozzarella and pickled jalapeños.

LNA with ATF 54143
|On the left picture you can see both versions of LNA 432 and 1296 MHz
|This is graph of IP. I got the picture from Franta OK1CA. He
has very nice double ton high level signal generator AGILENT E4432B and
HP 8093E noise measurement equipment.
Parameters on 1296 MHz: Pin -22dBm, Pout -5dBm, IMD3 -62dBm, Gain 17dB, +/-10kHz
IP3in +9dBm
|This is 432 MHz LNA. N/F 0,32dB and gain 20dB. Input IP +8dBm. I have tested this LNA also during last UHF - SHF EU contest with excellent result. PCB is done from FR4 PCB material with soldering holes for both versions.
|This is version for 1296 MHz. N/F 0,4dB gain 17dB and input IP +9dBm !!! Also this type of LNA I have tested during EU SHF contest 2006 with excellent result. Specially high IP in combination with inter-digital filter bring lot of advantages in the battle with interference.
|Schematic diagram of LNA 432 MHz. Very important part of that is ATC capacitor 47pF on the input !!!
|Schematic diagram of LNA 1296 MHz. Very important part of that is ATC capacitor 5,6pF on the input !!!

By Kelley D. Carey
It was a $25 million mistake. A middle school was being built on the site of a former high school, but the district did not base its construction plan on current and future enrollment patterns.
When the school was half finished, the district asked me to plan and map the attendance zone. Enrollment was declining; growth was moving to the suburbs. Given all the surrounding schools' capacities and the geography, the school could only be half filled and would decline in enrollment.
Naturally, the superintendent and board were not pleased with my report. But the error could have been prevented.
In my experience, school districts make little to no effort to properly project future enrollment when planning future construction and redistricting efforts. Superintendents and board members often think they know where the next schools should go and they want just enough information to validate those opinions. These assumptions often are wrong, however.
Architects, in some cases, help you decide where a school site should be, but for them, the big money is in designing schools, which can conflict with location and needs decisions.
One school is part of a fabric, impacting attendance and facilities needs directly and indirectly across the whole district. Comprehensive planning for programs, demographics, and facilities must cover that whole, recognize students' current locations, and look at projected enrollment five years from now. However, this rarely occurs.

Hi, does anyone have any ideas please ?
My son wants to take it to school for show and tell (once i've cleaned it up - it smells) ha ha and I thought it would be good if he actually knew what it was from......
Sorry to disappoint your son, its a birds pelvis
regretably I do not know which one
More of a disappointment for Basquesteve I think but this is not a bird pelvis. This is the breast bone (sternum) and attached coracoids, furcula (wishbone) and scapula of a Gannet. Oh and a can of tasty beans.
Thank you John (& BasqueSteve)
Your both certain it's not a skull so I think we'll just bin that then as it doesn't sound very exciting and not worth my gagging while I clean it up
He can just take the gull skulls and the mermaids purses we found
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply x
PS - yes, the beans were very yummy
Thanks for taking the time to reply x

They passed the test, now on to the rest.
Vancouver Whitecaps added 10 of a possible 12 points to their tally atop the W-League with three wins and a tie during a four-game stretch without the club's best veteran players such as Christine Sinclair, Kara Lang and Andrea Neil.
The club held on to first place overall with two wins and a tie in Colorado and a last-minute penalty kick goal for a 1-0 Sunday win over the Fort Collins Force at Swangard Stadium.
The club lost eight players to national team duty for a training camp in Nanaimo before the three away games against Mile High Edge, Real Colorado Cougars and Fort Collins Force.
The "Nats" returned for a 3-2 win over the Seattle Sounders in Seattle last Wednesday but six were dispatched to Etobicoke, Ont., for Sunday's 2-1 friendly win over Italy.
"Last week when we had eight of them come back in it was an interesting dynamic," Whitecaps women's coach Bob Birarda said. "We haven't had the same 11 go yet twice. It's been good to give a bigger base of players an opportunity, so we have them in the playoffs and final four."
The club will be near full strength for Friday's "home" game against San Diego Gauchos, which will be played in Nanaimo's Caledonia Park.
Whitecaps have one more Swangard Stadium date remaining against Real Colorado Cougars July 6.
The club will use that as an opportunity to tune-up for the W-League playoffs and final four tournament, which will be staged at Swangard on Aug. 4 and 6 to determine the women's soccer champion of North America.
"The battle isn't on us anymore," said Tiffeny Milbrett, scorer of Sunday's game-winning goal. "It's on those other teams trying to make that spot."
Whitecaps will, however, have to battle the rest of the season without Kara Lang.
She suffered an anterior cruciate ligament tear in her right knee during training.
Surgery is planned for mid-July. Like teammate Katie Thorlakson, Lang will also be unavailable for Women's World Cup qualifying this fall.
It may take Lang a year to recover. Lang will also miss her sophomore season at University of California Los Angeles.

Animating graphs in WPF using Clipping masks
Over the past couple of weeks I have been working on an application that displays a variety of graphs. One of the standard features we have is the load animation for a graph when the user sees it for the first time. For a line graph, this would mean that the graph animates from the left to right and draws itself out.
The technique I am using to do this animation is with Clipping Masks. The graph starts out with a Rectangular mask with zero-width and ends with the full-width of the graph after the animation completes. The height of the mask is the same as that of the graph. The following figure shows how my mask grows in size.
In Xaml, this can look like so:
1<Grid x:Name="GraphContainer">
2 <!—Line Graph -->
3 <Grid.Clip>
4 <RectangleGeometry />
5 </Grid.Clip>
1<Storyboard x:Key="GraphClipAnimator">
2 <RectAnimation Duration="0:0:1"
3 Storyboard.TargetProperty="Clip.(RectangleGeometry.Rect)"
4 Storyboard.TargetName="GraphContainer"/>
The advantage of this technique is that you can choose a more elaborate clipping mask (think of arbitrary PathGeometry) to achieve more fluid graph animations. Also we are not affecting the actual graph in any way and all of the animations are happening on its container. This makes it easy to reuse the technique on multiple graphs.

Asked how Training Camp 2006 has differed from those under the Pat Quinn regime, one Maple Leafs veteran recently responded with a sadistic laugh.
"In golfing terms, it's like going from Bushwood to The National," he crowed.
Bushwood, of course, was the country club in the cult flick Caddyshack where chaos reigned supreme.
This was a place where the assistant greenskeeper left the grounds in shambles after unsuccessfully attempting to blow up a local gopher.
The player' s inference was that Bushwood was the equivalent to one of Quinn's camps.
The National, on the other hand, is one of the most respected layouts in Canada where members are expected to tow the line.
This, said the veteran, is what life under Paul Maurice has been like for the past three weeks.
Without passing judgment on Quinn here -- six consecutive playoff appearances should not be ignored -- there is no denying how the environment surrounding this team has changed.
While the gruelling opening day of camp left hard-luck defenceman Carlo Colaiacovo woozy and wobbly, there were many others gasping and wheezing all over the Ricoh Coliseum ice courtesy of Maurice's workaholic demands.
No longer would veterans be given the benefit of a doubt like they were at times with Quinn, who was fiercely loyal, almost to a fault.
The obvious example is the way Maurice has handled the Jeff O'Neill situation. In the head coach's mind, the veteran winger, who is coming off shoulder surgery, is not in acceptable game shape yet, leaving him in civvies for the final two pre-season games against the Detroit Red Wings over the weekend.
The message to be taken from this: If you're not fit, you sit.
It's a blunt statement, but that's the way Maurice is.
Sure, he sprinkles humour in there, but, in the end, he's a bottom line guy.
That's why he hasn't filled fans with visions of an impending Stanley Cup parade.
And that's why he is not promising an immediate end to the Leafs' 40-year championship drought.
Instead, the former bench boss of the Carolina Hurricanes pulls no punches with his sobering statement that his Leafs will be in a dogfight for a playoff spot all season.
After watching the Leafs the past three weeks it is easy to see why Maurice feels that way. There seem to be more question marks on this squad than there were on Frank Gorshin's Riddler costume from the old Batman series.
Will they continue to struggle for goals 5-on-5 as they did a year ago? Consider, for a moment, that the Leafs managed just three even strength goals in their final four exhibition games.
Are newcomers Pavel Kubina and Hal Gill worth the combined $7 million US per season shelled out to them in free agency by general manager John Ferguson? Gill's plodding gait won't remind anyone of Yvan (The Roadrunner) Cournoyer while Kubina can not have brain drains like the one that led him to cross-check the Red Wings' Jiri Hudler in the throat last night.
Who will provide the goals up front other than Mats Sundin and Darcy Tucker? After watching his team score just 21 goals in eight exhibition games, Maurice needs the likes of Alexei Ponikarovsky, Kyle Wellwood, Matt Stajan, Alexander Steen and John Pohl to step up to the plate.
Will Andrew Raycroft resemble the guy who allowed a couple of softies in Detroit Saturday night or the goalie who looked in control last night?
Maurice needs answers to these queries as soon as possible.
Maybe you don't clinch a post-season berth in October.But you can certainly lose one by flushing away points in the first month of the regular season.
And with four meetings with the hated Sens looming in the next four weeks, a good start is imperative for Team Maurice.
A year ago, the Leafs went 1-7 against their provincial rivals and ended up on the golf course at playoff time. Come next April, they don't want to be there again, whether it be at Bushwood or the National.

Your Views: Thanks for republishing story on Kleefisch, Eisenga
I want to commend The Gazette staff for republishing the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's article on state Rep. Joel Kleefisch and his "pay to play bill" (AB 540), to limit child support payments for a donor to both Kleefisch's campaign and to that of his wife, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch.
In reading The Gazette's Jan. 15 front-page story, the question is, who does Michael Eisenga think he is, king of the world?� Some people think they have all the answers and the privilege to get their way, but how did Rep. Kleefisch ever justify such actions? Keep watching for him or someone else in Madison to try and attach this measure as an amendment to some other late-night bill.
Can Rep. Kleefisch justify it by saying rules should be different for this very rich guy? Eisenga has three kids to support and reportedly tried to get them on BadgerCare! I would call out both Rep. Kleefisch and Eisenga for trying to use the system; readers should also and let it be known that this is not the Wisconsin way.

TWO men were taken to hospital last night after emergency services were called to an incident involving hazardous chemicals.
At 5.40pm fire crews from Faringdon and Oxford were called to reports of an "unknown hazardous material" in Goosey.
Firefighters used breathing masks and specialist detection equipment to make the situation safe, working with South Central Ambulance Service and Thames Valley Police.
Rewley Road fire station manager Mike Adcock said: "Our specialist unit has equipment specifically designed to enable staff to detect and identify dangerous substances, which allows casualties to be treated quickly and appropriately by medical staff and for us to make the incident safe."
Ambulance spokeswoman Catherine Morrow said two men who had been affected by the unknown chemical were taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital, in Oxford. Their injuries were not believed to be life-threatening, she added.
Police are understood to be treating the incident as a crime, but have so far not provided any information.

Oral B suggest you change your heads every 3 months which means that a 4 pack for £15 should last a year. I don't think that's bad when you compare the price to disposable brushes that last around 4weeks.
My first head came along with my sonic toothbrush but I'm told these heads fit any Oral B tooth brush base.
I was quite pleased with the feel of it in my mouth, it has soft rubber backing that gives it a quality feel.
The CrissCross bristles are various lengths making a thorough clean easy especially when delivered with the sonic cleaning action. I found my teeth felt 'dentist' clean, and stains were minimised over a couple of days.
If you have an Oral b toothbrush that words on sonic cleaning I'd make sure you buy the heads that the brand recommends to get the most out of your toothbrush and not risk damaging the base set.
When I bought this mp3 player, the ipod had just come out. The ipod was big and clunky and I wanted something that I could run with that wouldn't cost the world.
I didn't expect much from it but in those days, 4hours of music was quite a bit of storage space. So I loaded it up which was a simple case of copying and pasting files to a folder. There was no need to install itunes or anything like that. Simple.
Next thing was it's battery powered by tripple As. So if you're out and about and it runs out you can carry an extra battery to put in. Easy peasy!
The screen is small but lights up for easy night time use. Controls are simple and self explanatory for first time users or technophobes.
This has been through several showers with me, tossed in a handbag with little care and it still survives. So glad I didn't buy an ipod!
I guess the only disadvantage would be that you do have to scroll through and there's no search function
When you buy a phone you really only get what you pay for.
If you're looking for a low usage phone that will be well looked after, you might like the Samsung Tocco Lite. It's stylish and fun looking and an ideal starter phone or switch to touch screen/smart phone.
For me it was a rash decision made when I needed a new phone pronto! I'd heard a lot of hype around it so jumped on board and bought it. At first, as with all new gadgets, I was excited to use it but gradually got to know it's glitches, the way the screen didn't always pick up my gestures and which buttons stuck.
The battery life was absolutely horrendous when internet browsing so I sent the phone for repair only to be told the battery was meant to be like that!
I lost the phone 2months later and let's say I was relieved!
The headline says it all. This kit is a fail safe way to learn how to do the perfect smokey eyes. I love Benefit makeup and this comes in a cute little kit that's easy to pop in your handbag and much easier than buying all the components, plus if you bought all the products separately it would cost a fortune!
I'm not going to go through the how tos because it comes with a handy guide that walks you through each step and I'm no makeup expert so I'll just comment on each component. Also, if you go in to a Benefit store or somewhere with a Benefit counter, the assistants will happily show you how to use the product.
Highlight 1.10g, Pewter Base 1.10g & Deep Charcoal 0.90g - gorgeous shades
Benefit Smokin' Liner 0.39g - this eyeliner doesn't budge and although it is tiny, who has ever finished an eye liner pencil? It lasts quite some time and I often pop this in my handbag on a night out.
Benefit Brow Zings Shaping Wax 1.00g - amazing at tidying brows up and filling in gaps without the harsh look of a pencil. It suits my brunette brows but I'm sure it would be far too dark for fair haired people.
Eye Bright 1.00g - I use this bit almost daily just to brighten my eyes up a little bit.
Benefit Tiny Tweezers - they may be tiny but they're so sharp and precise they've become my main tweezers!
Also included: application brushes and mirror
My only worry with the kit (apart from the brow wax for fair people) is that I'll run out of one thing way before the rest. I'm not sure they're correctly proportioned.
Hair products are something that you can't scrimp on. If you buy cheap products you have to use a lot to get the effect needed whether it be shine or hold. At £10 approx this seems a lot at first for such a small bottle but it is so concentrated that you only need a few drops each time.
As you'll know from my other reviews Tigi is one of my favourite hair care brands. I'm particularly drawn to their bright branding and the attitude and style that comes with each product. The Rockaholic Shine Blaster is no different and is a particularly lovely shade of blue. On first inspection bottle feels like it could withstand a few trips in my handbag which is a must for finishing products like this however the plastic hinge on the lid feels like it may weaken with use.
Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Persea Gratissima (Avacado) Oil, Phenyl Trimethicone, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Dimethiconol, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Aloe Barbadenus Leaf Extract, Cirtus Grandis (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract, Calendula Officinalus Flower Extract, Vanilla PLanifolia Fruit Extract, Jasminium Officinale (Jasmine) Flower Extract, Parfum (Fragrance), Benzyl Benzoate
There's a few lovely sounding things above that really do 'treat' the hair rather than just providing a cover up solution. Aloe, Jojoba, Avacado oil e.t.c
Personally I like to use 2/3 drops (I have mid length but thick hair) when my hair is mid blow dry. I rub my hands together to heat the oil up then run my fingers through my lengths and ends. If you're unsure how much to use always start with a little and work up. You can always add a small amount to finish your style off if you prefer more shine but if you add too much it will look greasy and need washing out.
I find that this product seals my cuticle and eases frizz as well as making my hair feel much silkier. Fly aways are less of a problem and my hair shines like it never has before.
I saw this tea for sale in my local Tesco and it was marked limited edition so I thought I'd buy it before it went.
I like a large range of teas and have tried a lot of Twining's range so was expecting something really different from this flavour. I was rather dissappointed to discover that it tastes similar to Twining's Lady Grey tea. It is perhaps slightly fruitier and tangier but could easily be mistaken as Lady Grey. My mother normally takes sugar in her tea but she found this sweet enough to have without sugar.
The box advises to allow one tea bag per person but I think this is rather wasteful. One tea bag can easily make two cups of strong tea.
I prefer this tea with a dash of milk or alternatively it makes a really refreshing iced tea.
I don't think I'd bother buying this again, I'd get Lady Grey instead.
I went in to my local department store looking for a foundation brush and a new foundation and an assistant directed me to this product which in effect is both those things together.
I felt that I was on to a winner and went home to try it out. First of all I forgot to "lock" the dispenser so that foundation doesn't just pour out as I use the brush. Once I'd got the hang of application I really appreciated the texture of the brush on my face and the lightness of the foundation as it settled on to my skin. I could build it up for more coverage or keep it sheer.
The real test of a foundation is the wear. Well this is where it completely fell on it's face. I felt like my face was melting! It wasn't even warm weather but my face was really shiney and within a few hours the foundation had started to separate and looked awful. I would not buy this product again but I continue to use the brush to apply other foundations.
Another Tigi product I love!
This conditioner is full of proteins and good stuff to help reconstruct damaged and dry hair. Mine was particularly dry thanks to religious bleaching and this really did 'salvage the wreckage'.
Again, I love the smell of this conditioner (just like the Dumb Blonde shampoo) and it feels like a luxury product when using it. My hair feels amazingly soft when I rinse it out, it's my favourite part of the shower!
I've also left it on as a hair mask for 30mins and the results are amazing. My hair is so soft and much less frizzy thanks to it. I feel the price is worth it for the results although I do go through a tube quite quickly, this may be because I use too much at one time though.
As you can see from my other reviews I love tigi products and this is part of my regular hair care routine.
This is my OH's favourite hair product as it's hands off, by that I mean that it can be applied straight to your hair without getting sticky hands. I liken it to a glue stick apart from you push the bottom up rather than twist to get more out.
It's certainly suited to short spikey styles and provides good hold in windy weather. The tube lasted him 3months of regular use (almost daily) which makes it better than the tubs of wax he's tried before when it comes to being cost effective.
I don't think the stick has a strong smell especially when compared to other Tigi products.
The only disadvantage is that sometimes hair can get stuck to the wax stick and it starts to look a bit manky but this can be easily fixed by scraping the top.
This has become a staple product in our household now.
I first experienced this shampoo at my hairdressers and loved the smell so much I bought some! I'd never used a Tigi product before but I loved the fun bright packaging and felt it wasn't too expensive for a salon grade shampoo.
It lathers in to a rich luxurious foam that I can't get enough of and removes any build up (even the strongest hair spray) with ease. The scent fills my bathroom for a couple of hours after I've washed my hair and my hair smells amazing for the day.
I feel it's worthwhile to spend a little extra on your hair products as cheap hair care is a false economy. You need to use a very small amount of this shampoo to get a good wash.
This shampoo has now become a regular purchase for me and it would take a lot to change me to something else.
Absolut Vodka is one of the best Vodkas on the market in my opinion. I've tried a few of their flavoured versions and the Vanilla flavour is certainly my favourite so far.
I don't like spirits straight but Absolut Vanilla goes perfectly with cola and lots of ice. It would also go well with pineapple juice or coconut. Perhaps it could be added to a Pina Colada?
I expected it to be quite sickly but was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't too sweet and made for easy drinking. It tastes best when chilled as advised on the bottle but I thought it had a chocolatey overtone when I smelt it.
I'm partial to vodka jellies and found this tasted fantastic with lime jelly. I'd certainly purchase this product again with a view to experimenting more with mixers and flavours. It's slightly dearer than other unflavoured Vodkas but is often on offer in Tesco.
I received these headphones as a gift a few months back. Personally I would never pay this much for a set of head phones and was shocked that 'in ear' sets could cost so much.
I was pleasantly surprised at how clear the sound was and the fact they excluded most of the outside noise made them perfect for busy comutes.
The downside to the headphones is (as with them all) they get so tangled up! I think this is aggravated further by the weight of the ear buds on this particular set. I'm worried that the wires will break inside eventually if this continues.
Style wise, the headphones do feel of good quality and I regularly receive compliments on them.
They came with replacement buds in various sizes to make sure you get a comfortable fit from them but I think they should have supplied a few more as the rubber buds do come off quite easily so would be easy to drop.
I'm not sure how this can be called unfragranced, it certainly smells of something quite chemically. Having said that, the scent is very subtle and isn't something other people would notice if you're wearing it. I'd say this roll on is unisex, me and my partner have both used it at times.
I found it acted as a good antiperspirant lasting more than a day, which is better than I expected. This is a product that can take some bashing about so it's perfect for throwing in your gym bag without the worry of it leaking or bursting.
I found the roll -on took a long time to dry when applied which makes it awkward if you're in a rush and can mark clothes quite easily. If left unused for a few days the roller ball can become stuck and the liquid then forms a thin crust around it although this is easily removed.
These hair straighteners are well worth spending the extra money on and if you're dubious, remember they come with a guarantee if anything goes wrong with them.
Heating up to 210 degrees these straighteners manage to keep my curly locks under control. I love how smooth and sleek my hair looks when I've used them, it feels so silky!
After a while I learnt how to curl my hair with them too to form loose waves. There's lots of tutorials online that show you how to do different things with them.
My straighteners have been packed in a bag and taken to my boyfriends every weekend for the past year and still work like new. The only signs of wear and tear would be the curled lead (wire) and the fact that the plastic is now slightly discoloured around the plates which doesn't seem to alter the performance of the product.
After owning numerous Compaq laptops with Windows operating systems, making the jump to Apple Mac was quite a big move for me. I'd have to learn to use a new operating system and pay more than I ever had for a laptop.
The jump was certainly worth it. I picked up the basics very easily and found the multitouch track pad very intuitive.
As a freelance worker the main reason I chose the MacBook Pro was for the battery life; I can easily get 8hours work done without charge, running high consumption programmes like Adobe Photoshop. The screen is amazingly crisp and clear too.
The whole design feels so much better than other laptops, it's compact, solid, light enough to carry around and has lots of extra features that came as an added bonus to me. One example would be the backlit keyboard, as a night owl I also appreciate this.

Noa Summer 2012 Cacharel - User Opinions and Reviews
Date Added: 07/03/2015I truly enjoy this aroma. I scent a really delicate orange in Cacharel Noa Summer 2012 and it feels very soft and gentle. I like that it's undoubtedly Noa, but with a style of its own. It's Noa with a twist of smooth, sweet and creamy orange, like a mixed creamy vanilla ice-cream covered with orange sorbet so delicious and satisfying to the senses.by Eva
Date Added: 10/11/2012I really like this scent. I smell a very subtle orange. I'm not a fan of citrusy fragrances because to my nose they often smell harsh and sharp, but this is very gentle. I like that it's unmistakeably Noa, but with a little twist. I personally don't like editions that are totally different from the original (for example Sun Sorbet by Jil Sander in which I cannot detect any of the original fragrance). So, it's Noa with a twist of soft, sweet and creamy orange, like a Split ice cream (creamy vanilla ice covered with orange sorbet). If only it lasted a little longer...by karlita

By JASON ECK
The Sonora Finance Committee on Monday will continue discussing possible funding options for the police department.
The City Council members in December directed the committee to look at options for funding the Police Department after a state legislator refused to back an effort to put a tax increase before voters.
The city has been working to find the money to increase salaries to attract a wider pool of officer candidates and to retain current officers.
The finance committee in December directed Councilman Hank Russell and City Finance Director Pat Perry to review city departments' finances and see how they have changed in the past five years. Russell hopes to develop an easy-to-read analysis of how money is spent, and show how funding the police department became a problem.
He said that is not immediately clear from a simple budget printout, which is tailored more for auditors and department heads. Russell said he has thumbed through the budget and hopes to confirm some of his conclusions with Perry on Monday.
The general fund budget is Russell's priority, but he's also is interested in grants, on which the city departments including the Police Department rely.
As he said during his campaign for his city council seat, Russell believes the public should have a clear view of where city money is spent. He said a document clearer than a complicated city budget would be a start.
In December, committee member Liz Bass encouraged the city to explore some type of "blended service" with the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Department. She even suggested the committee invite a representative of the sheriff's department to be part of the committee.
The city had pinned its hopes of solving the funding riddle on Congressman David Cogdill, R-Modesto. Council members approached the representative when he was in town to ask him to sponsor a piece of legislation to allow Sonorans to vote on a sales tax increase.

Record amounts being raised for upcoming Assembly battle
Both major parties are raising record amounts of money to try and win control of the state Assembly in November.
According to the Wisconsin State Journal, Democratic candidates and their party's campaign committee raised almost $1.4 million in the first half of the year. That's up 68 percent from two years ago.
Republicans boosted their fundraising by 33 percent, to just more than $1 million.
It's the first time since 2000 that Assembly Democrats have raised more than the GOP in the first half of their election years.
The Wisconsin Democracy Campaign provided the numbers for the State Journal.
Democrats could get a huge prize if they win: both houses of the Legislature, plus the governor's office. That would make it easy to pass their liberal agenda which includes tax-funded health care.
Democrats are putting up their largest number of Assembly candidates in 24 years. They only need to gain three seats in November to win the Assembly.
Assistant Minority Leader Jon Richards of Milwaukee says the money advantage could make a number of races more competitive.
University of Wisconsin-La Crosse professor Joe Heim says the smart money appears to be moving toward the Democrats, or at the very least, donors are covering their bases by giving to both major parties.

my assets folder permission is 777
I'm having this issue too. Mine happened after I moved to a new server. I tried setting assets to 777, but that didn't work for me either.
Hi Bellafaith,
I could solve the issue by asking my host to remove the value of
upload_tmp_dir from php.ini.
I had problems using phpmyadmin's import utility.
After searching the net for an answer I found that the above setting should point to a directory on the server.
I asked my host to set a value and the import utility started working but obviously broke swfupload.
I'm not saying that the same appllies to you but worth checking.
You could also compare both of your server settings using php info() and see what is different.
Hi Cem,
Thanks for the advice. I compared the phpinfo() for both servers, but couldn't find anything different that was causing the problem. The server where upload is working doesn't have a value set for upload_tmp_dir in php.ini, but I set it on the non-working server to see if that fixed it, it didn't. I even tried a fresh install of silverstripe with basic blackcandy theme and no modules, and I get the error message when uploading that there's no temporary folder and to set upload_tmp_dir in php.ini (but it is set in php.ini). So it is looking like this is a server issue even though I spent an hour on the phone with the client's host who couldn't tell me or help me with anything that I didn't already know other than them saying it can't be a server issue.
My problem was the upload_tmp_dir value. What I was trying [and what the hosting company was telling me to use] was not the correct path. I finally figured out the correct path and posted my solution here.

Q: Our guinea pig is less than 2 years old, and she has developed very swollen, painful hocks. She cannot use her back legs at all, and she squeals in pain if any pressure is applied to them. I took her to the veterinarian, and he gave her a prednisone injection and then oral prednisone to give her for a week. The week isn't up yet, but I'm not seeing much improvement. She isn't housed in a wire cage and she has a soft, dry cage floor. We have four other guinea pigs, and none of them have had any problems like this. I called another vet, who suspected scurvy, but all of my pigs get a 50 mg chewable vitamin C tablet daily in addition to their pellets, and she doesn't have any other signs of scurvy. But the vet suggested getting a vitamin C liquid that is 500 mg per teaspoon and giving her a quarter teaspoon daily. I haven't tried that yet. She is eating and drinking fine, but we have to bring the food and water to her because she can't really get to it. Have you seen this in other guinea pigs? How is it treated? I don't want to euthanize her, but if nothing can be done then I don't want her to suffer.
A: I am sorry your guinea pig is so sick. When we hear of joint problems in guinea pigs, especially younger guinea pigs, we first think of vitamin C deficiency. Vitamin C is needed for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of the body. Vitamin C is also necessary to make collagen, which is an important protein used to make cartilage, tendons and ligaments. Cartilage, tendons and ligaments are essential for the normal functioning of a joint like the knee, so when vitamin C is deficient, we see guinea pigs with problems using their knees.
A guinea pig needs a source of vitamin C every day because it is a water-soluble vitamin that is not stored in the body. And unlike almost all other animals, guinea pigs do not make their own vitamin C; they must ingest it in their food. Chewable tablets are an excellent method to make sure your guinea pig is getting enough Vitamin C each day.
For your guinea pig, if the collagen in the knees is diseased due to a deficiency of vitamin C, there should be an improvement within days of giving additional vitamin C. But if there is permanent damage due to long-term vitamin C deficiencies, additional vitamin C may not be able to repair extensive damage.
If there is just inflammation, the prednisone (an anti-inflammatory) might help in decreasing the swelling. Another possible explanation for what you described is infection, but that would be very unusual in both knees at the same time.
If rest and vitamin C do not seem to help your guinea pig, you may need to consider some diagnostic tests administered by your veterinarian. These would include radiographs of the knees.

Unbreakable: The second world war's last Enigma
Read more: "Unbreakable: Eight codes we can't crack"
The second world war brought a shift from handwritten cryptography to machines capable of spinning up complex, ever-changing codes. The best known of these was the Enigma machine, first used by the German navy in 1926.
Enigma machines used three or four mechanical rotors to scramble electrical circuits that assigned the letters of the message to be encrypted into letters of coded text. The rotor settings were changed regularly, often every day, meaning that messages seldom shared the same encryption. With the help of Alan Turing, and early computers called Bombes, Allied codebreakers eventually cracked many Enigma messages, which helped to turn the tide of the war. Many messages, however, were never broken.
In 2006, Stephen Krah, an amateur codebreaker based in Utrecht, the Netherlands, began an effort to crack three such Enigma messages intercepted by HMS Hurricane in the north Atlantic

Cisco Systems Inc. is expected to provide details on Monday on its push into the server market, a move that is seen as treading on the toes of longtime partners Hewlett-Packard Co. and IBM Corp.
Chief Executive John Chambers is scheduled to present the company's vision of "Unified Computing" at a morning press conference.
Quite a few details of Cisco's plans have leaked out already. Cisco talked about its server plans for the first time in January. It's a big step for a company that has so far focused on networking equipment, and could bring it into conflict with the companies that sell the computers connected by Cisco equipment.
Analysts have noted that margins in the server market are far lower than those in Cisco's core business.
Stifel Nicolaus analyst Sanjiv Wadhwani said Friday after meeting with a Cisco executive that Cisco is about to announce a server code-named "California" as part of a package for data centers. It's designed to integrate with VMware Inc.'s virtualization software, which lets one computer act like several machines. That technology is already reshaping data centers.
"California" is in the "blade" category – thin, relatively low-end servers that can be rack-mounted in great numbers – and is powered by Intel Corp. chips, Wadhwani believes.
"Cisco's goal is to radically change the way data centers are designed, built and operated," Wadhwani wrote in a research note.
He believes Cisco will be able to charge a premium for servers that can use virtualization to configure themselves regardless of physical location, thus getting away from the low-margin trap. It could be a $5 billion business for Cisco in a few years, he believes.
Mike Banick, vice president of marketing at Cisco competitor Juniper Networks Inc., said he expects Cisco to use proprietary technology to tie the different components of a data center together, and tie customers into buying its products as a package.
That goes against the trend of customers wanting increasing flexibility and freedom to buy from different vendors, he said.
Juniper is collaborating with IBM on developing data center technologies, and doesn't make servers.
"IBM and HP have had the leadership in that market for a long time, and I can only imagine that it's very challenging to enter," Banick said.

What a deliriously twisted opening to a wondrous flight of fancy called The City of Lost Children: Like millions of other children around the world, young Denree stays awake late on Christmas Eve awaiting Santa's arrival. Suddenly the tail end of a rope appears at the bottom of the fireplace in Denree's house. The towheaded tyke's eyes open wide in anticipation. A jolly white-bearded man wearing a red suit and bearing a shiny whirligig toy slides down the rope and into Denree's living room. The boy is totally enthralled, his face reflecting the pure joy of a childhood dream come true. But then another Santa arrives, and another, and another, all of them with identical features. Before he knows what's happening, the youngster's dream becomes a nightmare. Half a dozen Santas -- with reindeer -- crowd into Denree's place, drinking from hip flasks, menacing the youngster with scary faces, and allowing the reindeer to soil the floor.
The bad Santas work for the evil Krank, a madman who dwells in a mist-enshrouded offshore lair. Krank suffers from an acute inability to dream, and the resultant sadness and self-pity he experiences age him prematurely. So Krank's six Santa-impersonating henchmen -- all identical clones, it turns out -- constantly bring him a fresh supply of kids like Denree. With the assistance of Irving, a disembodied brain suspended in a tank of glowing green fluid, Krank taps into the the little ones' dreams, invades them, and makes them his own. But Krank's evil nature invariably warps even the sweetest of dreams into screaming horrorscapes, thus depriving him of the peace and youth he craves, and scaring the bejesus out of the youngsters in the process.
When Krank's minions abduct Denree, they have no idea what they are getting into. They incur the wrath of the boy's adopted brother, circus strongman One (Ron Perlman). One has brawn to spare, but he's a little short in the brains department. So he teams up with a gang of rebellious orphans led by the haunted-looking, wise-beyond-her-years Miette. Together One and Miette embark upon a harrowing quest to rescue Denree from Krank's clutches. Along the way they battle sadistic Siamese twin sisters, trained attack fleas, Krank's henchmen, and a community of Cyclopes led by a crazed Jim Jones-like demagogue.
Inventive, imaginative, charming, and thoroughly original, The City of Lost Children hints at film classics such as Frankenstein and Peter Pan, as well as more recent fare like The Neverending Story and The Nightmare Before Christmas. Every frame conjures up movie magic. The writing-directing team responsible for 1991's deliciously offbeat Delicatessen (Frenchmen Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro) have created a masterpiece that feels at once contemporary and as timeless as a fairy tale. Lost Children (in French, with English subtitles) does not fear the dark. This movie about the importance of dreams plays out like one. Sitting through it is akin to taking a vivid trip through the unconscious. Rather than following the typical Hollywood convention of slapping a premise together in a few weeks and rolling the finished product off the assembly line of some high-tech special effects factory like Industrial Light and Magic, Jeunet and Caro spent fourteen years pulling the story together out of the haze of their own imaginations.
The pair let their minds run wild, inventing an elaborately detailed fantasy world that includes eye-popping sets, Jean-Paul Gaultier-designed costumes, and a series of hilarious Rube Goldberg-inspired chains of events. Their audacity rivals -- and perhaps even exceeds -- that of 12 Monkeys's director Terry Gilliam. But the Frenchmen's tone -- anarchic fun and whimsy offsetting dark shadows -- is more audience-friendly than Gilliam's brooding cynicism. (Which is not to suggest that there's anything wrong with cynical movies, only that Jeunet and Caro's vision isn't as bleak as Gilliam's. Lost Children, while appealing to adults, aims to entertain kids as well.) Of course, despite a few American fans who remember him from TV's Beauty and the Beast, Ron Perlman, this film's principal star, doesn't exactly pack 'em in the theaters the way Monkeys's leads Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt do. And while The City of Lost Children may not make as much noise at the box office or in the media as even one of those twelve monkeys, it remains one of the most captivating cinematic magic-carpet rides in years.

Over the weekend, we were finally treated to a photo of the HTC Pyramid showing off its rear end in the wild. Today the Pyramid leaks continue, courtesy of our friends at TmoNews. They've just been handed some spec and possible release info on the device from a "solid source," so you'll want to pay attention. According to their tipster, the Pyramid will feature a 480x800 display (we've heard 4.3-inches in the past), 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, 768MB RAM, an 8 megapixel camera, front-facing VGA cam, 14.4Mbps HSPA+ connectivity, DLNA, Sense 3.0, a body that's both lighter and sleeker than Verizon's ThunderBolt, and Android 2.4. Yes, 2.4. The source claims that the Pyramid is currently slated to be released in June.
Keeping up with the T-Mo/Android goodness, TmoNews has also heard that a slider version of the myTouch 4G is in the works, which may be similar to the myTouch 3G Slide. Details are still light on this device, but it's rumored to be packing a 1.2GHz dual-core processor and Android 2.4.
Previously we've heard that the Pyramid would pack a qHD (960x540) display, but this new rumor claims that a WVGA resolution will actually be present on the device. The Pyramid seems like it's got the makings of a flagship handset, though, and one would think that HTC would want a high-res display included with their new high-end phone. Even if it does pack an 800x480 display, the Pyramid's still got some pretty impressive specs, and the possibility of getting Android 2.4 preloaded is pretty awesome. It's not clear if there'll be anything Pyramid-related at CTIA, but if there is, you can be sure we'll let you know.

Stephanie Kelton on 38th House District issues
October 29, 2008
Stephanie Kelton
Age: 39
Web site: kansans4kelton.org
Occupation: Associate professor of economics, University of Missouri-Kansas City
What in your personal or professional background makes you the candidate for the 38th District?
I have 10 years of experience as an economist who solves public policy problems. I have research affiliations with two non-partisan public policy institutes, and I have published dozens of articles on employment policy, health care, government finance, retirement security, etc. I know many Kansas legislators – Republican and Democrat – and we have already begun discussing the ways in which we can work together to address the projected shortfall in state revenues. Many of them have turned to me because of my moderate stance on the issues, my background in economics, and my commitment to fiscal discipline. Together, we'll fight for the policies that make good economic sense.
Should there be a statewide ban on smoking in indoor public places, such as restaurants and bars?
Twenty-four states currently have smoke free laws that identify certain areas as "off-limits" to smokers. In each case, there was contentious debate over the pros and cons as well as the exceptions to be made. Given the health risks associated with second-hand smoke, I could possibly support the Kansas Health Policy Authority's recommendation for certain smoke-free zones. I do believe there should be exceptions, for example: cigar bars; tobacco shops; private clubs at which the officers vote to allow it; taverns where food accounts for only a small percent of sales; and private residences that don't provide child care.
Would you support an increase in the cigarette tax to help pay for health coverage for low-income Kansans?
As part of an attempt to reform our health care system, the Kansas Health Policy Authority recommends an increase in the state cigarette tax. I would not support this as a stand-alone policy, but I do believe that we need to do something to get a handle on our expensive, bureaucratic health care system. In my view, we need to do this on a multitude of fronts.
Our schools should make sure children understand the importance of physical activity and ensure that they are engaged in regular cardio-respiratory activities. We should emphasize the benefits of healthy eating and the dangers of using alcohol, tobacco and illicit drugs. We need good communication between doctors and patients to ensure that children receive the necessary immunizations and seniors and at-risk adults are vaccinated annually against influenza. Finally, we should work to ensure that small businesses wanting to offer health insurance are able to "buy in bulk" so they qualify for more affordable plans. I could possibly support a tobacco tax increase as part of a larger comprehensive health care reform effort.
Where do you think the state budget can be cut?
The state faces a projected budget shortfall in FY 2009, and the Legislature will have to make tough choices in the coming years. The demands of a global economy require an educated workforce, and our most vulnerable citizens – over 340,000 uninsured Kansans – cannot be denied emergency room care. While the state has little discretionary freedom when it comes to these types of expenditures, there are things the state can do to reduce spending. We can attack the rising energy costs that are exacting a huge toll on state budgets, and we can pass meaningful health care reform It will continue to be a challenge to keep government spending down unless we elect legislators who are willing to take meaningful action to lower health care costs and move us toward a more sustainable energy policy.
Would you support an increase in the age for Kansans to get a driver's license?
We all want to protect our children and make our roads safer. I believe that a more rigorous driver education program would probably be more beneficial than a simple tweaking of the age limit or the curfew. We should ensure that young drivers get the practice they need before they take their first summer job or head off to college.
Should Lawrence be allowed to keep its same-sex registry without interference from the state?
While I would not vote to extend the registry on a state-wide basis, I would be reluctant to micro-manage the affairs of any of our local communities.
Do you support Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' opposition to the two coal-fired plants in western Kansas?
Yes. I strongly believe that we can (and must) take steps to develop a stable, comprehensive energy policy in Kansas. Right now, Kansas relies on coal to meet 75 percent of its energy needs – and 100 percent of that coal must be transported by rail from Wyoming to Kansas. As voters know, Kansas lawmakers recently voted three times to expand our dependence on out-of-state coal As an economist, I viewed this as a dangerous policy move. I understand that diversification is the key to reducing the risk of investment And I believe that we are vulnerable because our energy portfolio is not well-diversified.
The state's 10-year, $13.2 billion comprehensive transportation plan will expire next year. Do you favor the Legislature developing another comprehensive long-term package or should the state change its approach to transportation planning?
I would prefer to see partnership legislation with the federal government. Almost 10 years ago, I worked with U.S. Congressman Ray LaHood's (R-Illinois) staff on H.R. 1452. The bill, introduced as the State and Local Government Economic and Empowerment Act, was designed to provide zero-interest financing for capital projects (e.g. streets, bridges, water and sewer systems, public buildings, etc.). If this legislation had passed, it would have cut state spending on infrastructure by one-third to one-half the usual cost. While I remain involved in similar efforts today, I know that Kansas must move forward on its own to develop a comprehensive plan to build, replace and maintain its infrastructure.
I am confident that Kansas Transportation Secretary Deb Miller and the rest of the governor's task force will find a fiscally responsible way to move forward with a realistic transportation plan. Some of the more viable options include increased reliance on tolls and better leveraging of state, local and federal funds.
