This is it people.
For years, I've been eating what I thought was "hummus". Clearly I was mistaken. I'm not exactly sure what I was eating before, but I am sure that this is hummus. When you know, you know.
My quest for the perfect hummus recipe started as I became increasingly dissatisfied with the ever widening gap between the pasty store bought hummus I was eating on a weekly basis and the silky smooth restaurant style hummus I eat on occasion. You know the kind…super light in color, delightfully creamy and garlicky. I eventually found this post by a food blogger from D.C. She went on a trip to Israel and posted a photo from a restaurant in Jerusalem where she had the best hummus she has ever eaten! This post inspired me to do some investigation. I was determined to find out exactly how to make this kind of hummus…the kind Jesus ate in the very same city 2000 years ago!
Here is what I found…
3 Tips For Making The Best Hummus You've Ever Eaten
- Use dried beans vs canned. Sure it takes longer, but it will make a huge difference in texture, consistency, and flavor…plus it costs less!
- Baking soda. Using baking soda during the soaking process helps to breakdown the "skin" on the outside of the chickpeas (garbanzo beans). Baking soda creates an alkaline environment that allows for water to soak the beans more thoroughly. This will improve the consistency and give a silkier texture to the final product.
- Use high quality ingredients. In order to maximize flavor with so few ingredients, use the highest quality ingredients you can find. (i.e. extra virgin olive oil vs olive oil, fresh garlic vs powder or jarred, fresh lemon juice vs bottled, sea salt vs table salt).
*Note: There are some folks who say that removing all of the individual "skins" to the chickpeas makes for an even smoother hummus. I have not tried this yet…mostly because of the super-human patience that requires.
- Place dried chickpeas in a large bowl with a cover. Fill the bowl with water, enough to cover the chickpeas with about 1 inch of water. Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda, stir and cover. Allow chickpeas to soak overnight (about 10-12 hours).
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas and then place them in a large pot with a cover. Fill the pot with water enough to cover the chickpeas by 1-2 inches. Allow the water to come to a boil and then cover and simmer on low heat for 40-60 minutes.
- Drain the chickpeas but set aside 1/2 cup of the liquid from the pot and 1/2 cup cooked chickpeas. Rinse the remaining chickpeas (about 3-4 cups) with cold water. Now place them in a clean mixing bowl and allow them to cool for 10-15 minutes.
- In a food processor, combine chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic, tahini, sea salt, olive oil, and cooking liquid. Mix on medium/low speed for 2-3 minutes or until all ingredients are thoroughly blended and hummus mixture is smooth.
- Serve with your favorite crackers, pita bread, sliced raw veggies, etc. Fresh homemade hummus can be stored in a refrigerator for 2-3 days.
- Optional Garnishes: paprika, cooked chickpeas, fresh parsley

AVerMedia RECentral Live Gamer HD Capture Card Review
In a change to what I normally review, namely anything storage and
networking based, I've decided to have a little change of scene and
this week I'll be looking at a HD capture card from AVerMedia. There
are a large number of gamers out there, especially those in teams that
like to record their games so that they can review them back to see
where they go wrong or to show off their skills to others though the
likes of YouTube or live through TwitchTV. Whilst there are a number
of external options to chose from, not all give the flexibility to
either record or stream and typically most of them are recorders.
What we will be having a look at today is a PCIe mounted capture card
that allows you to stream you content straight to the masses on the
internet via the use of XSplit or record your game for editing and
uploading later on. AVerMedia have been around for quite a few years
and this is one of their latest bits of kit that is very simple to
setup and get going with barely any setup required. Sounds like a
great bit of kit to me so lets see what this is all about.

Spoilers ahead!
A few not-so-shocking giveaways about this week's new movie releases, including Justice League and Frank Serpico
Matthew Lickona 6 p.m., Nov. 17
"I've worked for the bees long enough," said my buddy Bernice. "Now, it's time for the bees to work for me. It's time for me to capitalize on my status as The Bee Lady." Bernice has been keeping bees -- and getting honey out of them -- for a few years now. But she's always consumed all of her product. Now, she wants to start selling it online and at the local farmers' market, and she wants me to come in on the deal. I told her I'd think about it, but in the meantime, I'd look into rustling her up some decent signage. Steve Blake has been making signs at Sign DeSign in La Mesa (619-461-1608) for 15 years. Blake stays away from signs that require a contractor's license; instead, he specializes in smaller signs and vinyl lettering. "Our basic vinyl lettering sign works for windows in vehicles, glass doors, yard signs, and banner graphics. We do four-color process printing." He pointed to a framed sign outside directing foot traffic to a business. "We do signs like that -- a basic metal A-frame with cut-vinyl letters on a PVC board. We use vinyl for letters and graphics because it's more durable and more colorfast than paint. And in some cases, it's changeable. When area codes changed from 714 to 619, and then from 619 to 858 and 760, people didn't have to buy all new signs. People brought in the magnetic signs on their cars and we just peeled off the adhesive vinyl, cleaned them up, and put on the new numbers."
Blake's vinyl comes in over a hundred colors and several styles, but only two grades. "Calendar vinyl," the less expensive of the two, "starts as a ball, and is heated and rolled and heated and rolled until it's about three thousandths of an inch thick. Then an adhesive is put on the back. But like any plastic, vinyl has a memory, and its memory is that original ball. So if you heat it, it will shrink. We usually use that for banners -- temporary signs. It's a little more flexible. Banners usually have an outdoor life of a couple of years, but I've made some that have been around for seven or eight years."
Cast vinyl has no such memory troubles. "It starts in a powder form, and is laid out in a sheet. Then it's heated, and that's its memory. It doesn't shrink much. My cast vinyl has been on my window for 15 years, and there's a tiny haze line that shows where it has shrunk. If a sign is going on a hard surface, I use cast vinyl."
For banners, "people can pick colors and letter styles. We have 2500 letter styles to choose from. When we first opened, we bought a package that had 40 styles; if we wanted to add another, it cost $299 . Now, with the advent of desktop publishing, the Internet, and shareware, we can get them for free. I tell people that if they see a letter style in a newspaper or magazine that they like, they can bring it in and I'll have it. Or at least, I'll find one that's really close."
Blake enters your selections for letter design and graphics into a computer, and the computer feeds the information to either a printer or a plotter. "The plotter is a stationary machine that the vinyl passes through. It's fitted with a blade, and it cuts the letters out of the vinyl. The printer just prints directly onto the vinyl." After the material has been run through the proper machine, "we pull the excess vinyl away from the letters and then use transfer tape to move them to the banner or sign."
Banners start at $60 -- that gives you your "background color of choice, two colors of text, and up to 15 words" -- but can be custom cut to whatever size you like. After you get past the base price, "everything is custom. We give you a quote. If there's going to be additional typesetting, that can mean a lot more vinyl, and we'll charge extra. And graphic prices can vary depending on the complexity. For graphics, we use a lot of clip art. We don't do graphic design here, just graphic reproduction. If someone brings in a graphic, we'll scan it into the computer and cut it with the plotter."
The same letters Blake puts on his signs can be affixed to car windows, glass doors, and magnetic signs. "Well do everybody from people who want their names on the windows -- Bob on one side, Louise on the other -- to the Border Patrol vehicles. A one-inch letter costs $.61 , or $1.23 installed. We'll install them right here at the curb." For magnetic signs, he applies the letters to gloss-white magnetic sheeting. "The base price on that is $75 , which gets you three lines in two colors on the white background."
If the bee biz takes off for Bernice, I might look into one of Blake's sandblasted wooden signs. "We take a piece of wood and mask it with the vinyl lettering and the design. Then a sandblaster takes a gun and shoots sand at the wood under high pressure. It chews the wood away, and you're left with raised letters. Or, we can mask the rest of the wood and blast the space inside the letters, so that they're cut into the wood." Then the wood may be stained or painted. Blake showed me a sign on which he planned to affix a vinyl picture. "I'll place a clear film over that for UV protection." Prices vary with size and with the price of wood, "which changes like gasoline. Right now, we charge $80 to $85 a square foot. Wood signs have a long outdoor life. We've had our wood signs out there for 15 years, and they're still there."

Mandrake 10 Installation Question
Also, I have an extra hard drive that I could install in my PC as a slave to the primary drive. Would it be better to install the Mandrake 10 on this drive than having to partition the primary drive? If so, how does one go about having the slave drive boot up under a dual boot system? Would this be done through the Bios?
Doe anyone have anysuggestions for this Newbie to make the conversion easier?

The first part of the master hrd drive is called Master Boot record (MBR) and contains info about where to bot from, so, YES, I think you should install the second HD as slave and install Mandrake there. You could make one Linuxpartition and one smaller FAT32 partition on that drive to use as a "bridge" for documents and things you wan to use in both Linux and Windows since NTSF isn't fully suported by linux.

As far as partitioning is concerned I would go with Partition Magic or would do it myself. If you have a little experience you can also let Mandrake do it. I haven't installed Mandrake 10 but generally the installations (not all) can make a mess on your hard drive if you don't know what you are doing and don't recognize linux's notation of harddrives (hda=primary channel ,hdb=secondary; logical drives count from 5...)

Hi All,
I did some work for a local pub here in Sweden recently. It was around three weeks work and a total of 120 hours, I have since left the job in search of something better and they are not returning calls or messages.
I have provided everything needed to get paid and am not sure what to do next.
Half of the work done was in Jan and therefore I was expecting to get paid yesterday on the 25th Feb. Is this correct? I am new to Sweden and any tips on how payday works or who I should contact regarding the unpaid wages would be great.

You need to physically call into the pub and find out what is going on. Either they are looking to swindle you or their administration is bad and they simply have not registered you yet.
Kind of seems strange that you would leave a paying job in search of another? Why not stay employed until you find the better job? If you were fired or had a falling out with the pub owner then you may be in for a battle.
If all else fails then talk with Skatteverket and let them know that the pub is seeking to employ people on the black.

I left because the standards were very low and I want to further my career as a chef. I am not going to name the place but when I arrived I found cooked food on the same board as raw chicken being sent out to customers. There is no point staying somewhere that will hurt your career.
I am also starting SFI soon so the hours wouldn't work anyway.
They are impossible to get a hold of so I will try going down there, if I don't get a resolution then I will try Skateverket.
If it turns out their admin is bad and haven't registered me is there any way of being paid before the 25th March?

It is entirely up to the pub to pay you so there is no guarantee that they will do so before the 25th of March.
It kinda sounds like they are pulling the piss out of it to be honest. It is a very simple process to register and pay you and can be done online or even over the phone.

Might I suggest that you pay them a visit - as John.Smith suggests, and depending upon what they say - then either tell them you plan to go to Skatteverket - which might have the desired efect without actually doing so, or follow up the visit to the pub with the suggested visit to Skatteverket.
The veiled threat, of what you plan, might do the trick without the need for actually stirring things up, as that could even backfire via others who might not want to employ a whistleblower.
Just a thought. 'Softly softly catchee monkey'.

Poem: "Return" by Robinson Jeffers from The Selected Poetry of Robinson Jeffers published by Random House.
On this day in 1949, RCA Victor, the biggest company in the record business, came out with its 45 rpm record. It was brand new: 7-inch disks, with a 1 and one-half inch hole in the center. The summer before, Columbia Records had come out with its own new system of "long-playing" records: 10- or 12-inch disks played at 33 1/3 rpm. It was a big competition, but Columbia wonit was the victory of the 33 1/3 that made the company's fortune.
It's the birthday of poet Ph ilip Levine, born in Detroit (1928), educated at Wayne State University (in Detroit) and the University of Iowa. In his twenties he worked at what he called "a succession of stupid jobs" in and around DetroitChevy Gear and Axle, Detroit Transmission, Wyandotte Chemicalwhich became grist for his poems about working people who taught him, he says, that his "formal education was a lie." He won the National Book Award in Poetry for his collection What Work Is. Other titles include On the Edge and Over: Poems Old, Lost, and New (1976) and One for the Rose (1981).
On this day in 1926, Fritz Lang's film Metropolis had its first screening, in Berlin. A classic silent film, two hours long, Metropolis is a fantasy of a futuristic city.
It's the birthday of Jazz Age cartoonist John Held, Jr., born in Salt Lake City, Utah (1889), whose father was an engraver who helped illustrate The Book of Mormon. Held became famous in the 1920s for his drawings of 'flapper girls'short-haired, short-skirted, stockings rolled high, cigarettes dangling from long holders.
It's the birthday of poet (John) Robinson Jeffers, born in Pittsburgh (1887). His family moved to California where he went to college. He entered medical school and did wellfor three years was first in all his classesbut gave it up to study forestry. He and his wife moved to the Big Sur town of Carmel in 1916, where the redwoods and seashore scenery inspired much of his work. His collection Tamar and Other Poems (1924) brought him immediate fame.

The only pros who haven't taken a break/been benched by the producers have been Mark, Cheryl, and Tony. Everyone else has had at least one season off somewhere in there.
He's polarizing, great eye candy for those of us who love him, causes drama, speaks his mind, puts together great routines, and pinches Tom's behind. We'd be missing all of that this season without him :lol Look at what has been the most talked about this season-the drama with the judges.

Former Oilers defenceman Dick Tarnstrom might become current Oilers defenceman Dick Tarnstrom on July 1.
The 32-year-old blueliner, who spent last season in Europe, is coming back to the NHL.
He has apparently narrowed his list of potential employers to Edmonton and another club and will be making a decision shortly after the start of the free agent frenzy Sunday afternoon.
The Oilers can't make an official move until July 1, but the defenceman has made it known that he'd like to come back to Edmonton and the Oilers have made it known that they'd like to have him back.
Tarnstrom, an underrated presence on Edmonton's blueline two years ago, had 29 points in 44 games with Lugano of the Swiss League. The six-foot-one, 205-pounder was part of the post-playoff exodus that sent the club into its downward spiral last season.
He wanted to be closer to his native Sweden to take care of some personal issues and now that he has, he wants to return to the NHL.
If he signs, the Oilers blueline corps will include Jason Smith, Steve Staios, Matt Greene, Ladislav Smid, Tom Gilbert, Jan Hejda, Tarnstrom and another veteran puck mover acquired via trade or free agency.
Denis Grebeshkov and Mathieu Roy could also be in the mix at training camp.

Okay, California Pacific Airlines ready again
FAA-certified, but start dates out of Carlsbad airport uncertain (psst, April)
Ken Harrison 8:30 a.m., Nov. 18
If we know where we are going, we are more likely to get there. A job search is the same. If one has a written goal, a direction, the possibility of achieving that goal is greatly enhanced.
Your first assignment is to define your goal. Make sure that it is achievable based on your personal abilities, your education, experience, and skill set. Once you have defined your achievable goal, you start on the road to attainment.
Your second assignment is to put your map together. Now that you know your destination, design your map to achieve your objective. This will be your onboard guidance system as you proceed through your job search.
What should be included in your plan of action? You should include those techniques that are most effective as you proceed through your job search. Networking is the most effective job search method. It should be at the top of your Plan of Action.
Networking should include those individuals that you know personally: friends, associates, colleagues, and co-workers, present and past. It may also include networking online, through Linkedin for example. If you are interested in a career or industry change, you may wish to include targeted networking. That is, you may wish to schedule meetings with individuals doing the type of work you wish to do, or who work in the industry in which you are primarily interested.
Another excellent method for networking is to become active in an organization or association that best fits the type of work you wish to do. Since most organizations and professional associations include volunteers, you will find it relatively easy to develop networking contacts. Volunteer to become active in the organization. Develop contacts. Network.
Your plan of action should also include published openings. This would include internet job sites, as well as company web sites. With company websites, you may actually find an opening before it gets to the internet job sites. If an opening is on a company website, chances are that you will have less competition.
Develop a self-marketing campaign. Write an article for the newsletter of the organization or association that you join. If you are an expert, volunteer to give a presentation. Be a greeter at the door to meet other association members, maybe introduce a speaker so that everyone in the room will see you.
Consider other job search techniques, such as direct mail, attending trade shows or conventions, even job fairs. Contact recruiters that specialize in your area of expertise or that specialize in your industry.
If you are not presently working, your job is finding a job. 40 hours a week.
Designing a plan to achieve your goal is your first step toward the achievement of your objective. You have nothing to lose but unemployment, or perhaps underemployment.

text: Sixties London Backstage at Charlotte Ronson A retro eye and Sixties-inspired ponytail defined the beauty look. By Belisa Silva on February 10, 2013 A retro eye and Sixties-inspired ponytail defined the beauty look backstage for Charlotte Ronson's fall presentation. "The liner is fun," said lead artist, Sara Biria, for Sephora Pro, who created a straight-line variation of a cat eye and a face meant to highlight cheekbones with earthy tones. Eyes, which were the focus of the look, featured Givenchy Magic Kohl Eye Liner Pencil in Black and Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink. "You have your Twiggy inspiration with the lashes and all that spikiness going on," said Biria. "It's your traditional cat eye, but we're going more towards the eye shape so it's more straight versus curving up." Lashes were coated with Dior's DiorShow Mascara in Black and lids were coated in Stila in the Know Eye Shadow Palette. Faces featured Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 and Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Concealer. "The skin is superclean," she said. "We don't want to take away too much from the eyes." Lips were left bare. "Talk about a 10-minute makeup look and you are out the door," she said. "It's very effortless. Anyone can do it." Biria said the overall beauty look, like Ronson's collection "is Sixties, it's girly and fun, but all about not spending too much time trying to perfect it." Looking to spring and fall, Biria said "I think color is always exciting and what I'm loving right now is it's not too much. It's just enough. There's a focus. I love that we are just taking one feature of the face and focusing on that. You're not seeing so much full face, full foundation, full contour. It's just a pop, everything else is clean," she said, adding, "the emerald color is huge and there are so many ways you can wear this: mascara, eyeliner, shadow, loose pigment, glitter," she said. "I love the versatility." Hair, styled by Rafe Hardy, for Sexy Hair, was inspired by Sixties London and Jane Birkin. "We're giving them a disheveled ponytails," said Hardy. "It's not sleek and slicked back. It has a loose feel." Hardy began by adding Short Sexy Hair What Body Ultra Bodifying Blow Dry Gel for life and dry shampoo for "day-old" hair. He then created a deep side part, which was secured in the front of the ear with a contrasting bobby pin. "What that translates to the consumer is that you can use a little accessory, a little embellishment [in your hair style]," said Hardy. For height, Hardy back-combed with a small bristled brush, then styled the hair into a modified bouffant. "We're creating a little bit of a different head shape," said Hardy. "We're lifting hair to give her a little bit of a fuller feel." He then gathered hair into a low ponytail, which was wrapped with the models' own hair. Wisps were pulled out on the sides for a slightly "undone" feel. Big Sexy Hair's Sexy Hair Soy Touchable Hair Spray was used to keep the look in place. "It's got a great hold but you can break it up and restyle it," said Hardy of the moveable spray. "It's flexible and great for building." Looking to spring and fall Hardy said, "this year is all about versatility. Don't get stuck. Try different looks. My biggest thing is this: when you have a woman that's going to go from day to night she'll change her clothes, she'll change her shoes, she'll change her makeup, she'll leave her hair the same. Hair is your biggest accessory. Be versatile with it." Nails, done by Simcha Whitehill for Color Club, featured a graphic "picture frame" look, in five iterations. Colors used included black and white, two shades of gray, a red and purple, a hunter green and a purple and a sand and deep blue sea color. To create the look, Whitehall painted the nail one coat of one color, then painted a second coat in the middle, slightly smaller than the first. One of the gray shades used on the look, Zodiac, will launch later in the year. Looking to spring and fall, Whitehall predicted, nail trends based on "beautiful contrasts," will be big. "It's black and white for spring," she said. "I think shades of gray for fall." To access this article, click here to subscribe or click here to log in.

Qt dialogs return data
I am programming a small app in Qt 4 and I am looking for a way to send data from a dialog..
I have a widget within the mainwindow which opens up a dialog, within the dialog the user is asked to input some data and then the user is supposed to press the Add-button. Now, when this button is pressed the dialog should close and the calling widget should take care of all the data the user gave the dialog and process it.
So my question is: how can I make the dialog send the data to the calling widget / make the calling widget fetch the data from the dialog?
Typically the way it works is as follows:
Typically all the interaction with the dialog would be done via methods of your dialog class.
Oh, so the instance still exists? But when does the instance go away, then?
Typically when the application closes, but if you wish then you can explicitly delete the object.
But I have created a button to close the dialog, if I connect it to the slot close() I get seg faults when I try to call the methods of the dialog..
EDIT: no, I got it now.. :)
But I have one question remaning: I've seen that the dialog can return a DialogCode.. how do I use that?
There are several ways you can achieve this:
You can attach the button to a particular slot, such as the accept() or reject() slots.
If you want to return a more complex value (still an integer) then you can use the done(int returnValue) slot.
Check out the documentation
Ok.. Thank you..
I have connected the button to my own slot called saveAndClose().. This slot will check all QLineEdit and issue a warning if any of them are empty.. but whenever I try to access the text within a lineedit I get a seg fault..
class MyDialog : public QDialog
I fixed the problem by connecting the lineedit signal textChanged to update m_name and then use that one instead in the saveAndClose() slot.
But I have a new problem. Now I want the dialog to fetch a QStringList from the calling widget..
I tried to do this in the calling widget
MyDialog dialog(this);

COMING TO A PRODUCE AISLE NEAR YOU, and conveniently pre-packaged and ready-to-eat, is 'Beneforte' broccoli. As you can see in the photo up top, the package is labeled with a number of health claims. But when you realize what's missing from the bag, you'll probably gag. I know I did. For Beneforte is the product of the agricultural Goliath I like the least. It is the product of Monsanto.
To be clear, there is nothing inherently wrong with 'Beneforte.' It is not a genetically modified vegetable, but a cross between a commercial broccoli and a wild broccoli.
This cross, according to Monsanto, produced a "super" vegetable — one which contains 2-3 times the phytonutrient glucoraphanin, "as compared to other leading broccoli varieties produced under similar growing conditions." I can only imagine what those "similar growing conditions" might be. They certainly aren't organic conditions, or the label would say so.
What gets my goat is Monsanto's claim that 'Beneforte' helps to "maintain your body's defenses against the damage of environmental pollutants and free radicals." Now that's a howler. For Monsanto is one of the biggest polluters of the environment. Have a look at their track record, which includes the company's introduction of Agent Orange:
Monsanto Hid Decades of Pollution The Washington Post, January 1, 2002
EPA Concerned about Monsanto Pollution Control Dam
Monsanto Pays 93 Million to Victims in Settlement
Monsanto: A Legacy of Deception
The New PCB: Monsanto's Round-up weed killer turning up in air, rain and rivers
Well. Is it any wonder that Monsanto doesn't want its name emblazoned on packages of 'Beneforte' broccoli?

Georgia rising junior Wil Spencer - playing his first action as a Bulldog - won both the singles and doubles titles on the final day of the ITA Summer Circuit on Saturday afternoon at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex.
Spencer won the singles title, 6-2, 6-2, over his teammate Ignacio Taboada.
Earlier in the day, Spencer won his semifinals match, 6-0, 6-1, over Gregory Maxson of Bucknell, while Taboada advanced to the finals with his semifinal win over Gabriel Townes in a third set super tiebreaker, 3-6, 6-4, 1-0 (7).
That duo also teamed up to win the doubles crown Saturday, defeating Georgia teammates Will Oliver and Will Reynolds by an 8-3 margin. Earlier on Saturday, Taboada and Spencer defeated the Tennessee duo of Evins and Patrick, 8-1, in the semis.
In other Georgia tennis news, rising senior Drake Bernstein was defeated in the qualifying draw of the Atlanta Tennis Championships on Saturday afternoon in Johns Creek
Bernstein - a wildcard in the field - fell to eighth-seeded Giovanni Lepentti of Ecuador, 6-1, 6-3. Bernstein would have had to win three straight qualifying matches to earn one of four remaining bids into the 32-player main draw. Bulldog alum John Isner joins Andy Roddick and Lleyton Hewitt as headliners in the field.

The Hot Seat: Linnaea Tillett
Welcome to the Hot Seat, in which we interview folks involved in Brooklyn real estate, development, architecture and the like. Introducing Linnaea Tillett, an environmental psychologist and lighting designer. She is the principal of Tillett Lighting, lighting consultants for waterfront landscapes, infrastructure, parks, public art and private interiors. In Brooklyn, she designed lighting for the Brooklyn Navy Yard Visitor and Exhibit Center and the Brooklyn Public Library Leon Levy Information Commons, among other spaces.
Brownstoner: What neighborhood do you live in, and how'd you end up there?
Linnaea Tillett: I live in Brooklyn Heights. I moved temporarily to Dumbo (from Manhattan) to work on an art/wayfinding project under the Brooklyn Bridge called "This Way." Most days and nights I would roam around Brooklyn Heights while I was waiting for this or that piece of work to be done on the site. One night I wandered up Columbia Heights and thought to myself, "I could live here!" So when "This Way" had opened and I had a choice to go back to Manhattan or live nearer my office in Williamsburg, I completely denied how awkward the commute to work would be, and found an apartment to fall in love with.
BS: How did you get into lighting design, and what does your firm currently do now?
Coming from a family of designers (textiles, clothing, tableware — actually every single thing in the house I grew up with), I was used to looking at the world and wondering what I was supposed to design. One summer, my sister-in-law, a costume designer, asked me to help her out on a theatre production. Nobody was available to work on the lighting, so they gave me a script, a mass of tangled dusty cables, a pile of rusted light fixtures and some bits of cracked colored gel. I read the script, made some choices, and hung the lights with bits of color in front of them. When I turned on the lights, I was stunned that a bunch of wires and rusted tin cans organized along the emotional lines of a script could have such an expressive force. And I was hooked. Not on theatre, but on light as a creative tool.
Now I own Tillett Lighting Design. We light infrastructure, landscape, public art and interiors. Each is a one-of-a-kind project that requires attention and sensitivity to the emotional dynamics of the space.
After the jump, details and photographs of Linnaea's projects in Brooklyn, her advice in lighting a small apartment, and her favorite interior and exterior spaces in New York City.
BS: What projects have you worked on in Brooklyn, and what Brooklyn projects are to come?
LT: "This way," the Brooklyn Bridge underpass art installation, was my first major project in Brooklyn. We just finished the Exhibition and Visitors Center at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, are underway with the renovation of the Brooklyn Public Library with Toshiko Mori (the Information Commons just opened, and there is more to come.) We are working on the Strand Theatre, Grace Church, and we just started a lovely private home in Williamsburg.

Brooklyn Navy Yard Visitor and Exhibit Center: original building at center; addition on left. Client: Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation; architect: Beyer Blinder Belle; landscape architect: D.I.R.T. Studio; lighting: Tillett Lighting Design; photo by Chuck Choi.
BS: What elements of a project's architecture/design do you most pick up on to create an appropriate lighting scheme for the space?
LT: To be honest, I think about the materials of the space. How will the treatments and the wall- , floor- and ceiling materials transform the way the light is experienced? After all, we don't look directly at light in our homes; we live in light reflected and changed by the surfaces it meets.
BS: Oftentimes we subconsciously experience the lighting in any given space. Is the goal to design lighting that people will notice, or lighting that people will feel comfortable in and may not even notice?
LT: As an environmental psychologist and lighting designer, I am not only concerned with how it functions, but equally with how the space feels, whether that be comfort, calmness, excitement or mystery.
BS: For people living in small NYC apartments, who may not be lighting experts — what are some easy tips to use lighting to improve a living space?
LT: In a small environment, it is best to put small sources of light around a room so your eye doesn't take in the whole room (walls and ceiling) at one time. You want to build a bit of mystery, leaving some spaces darker. This will make the room feel larger. On the other hand, if you seek a cheerful, bright room, then remember that the carefully placed mirrors that make a space feel larger in the day, can read as a black hole at night. People often think mirrors increase light. They don't!
BS: Finally, your favorites: favorite Brooklyn neighborhood, favorite interior space in NYC, and favorite exterior space in NYC.
LT: My favorite Brooklyn neighborhood at this moment is Red Hook. It's too hard to get to from my studio, but I run through it in the morning, and I adore it. My favorite interior space.. that's hard, but I think it's Bemelmans Bar in the Carlyle. Exterior space — Brooklyn Bridge Park.

The challenge for Brandon Morrow in 2012 is crystal clear. If hes going to match his extraordinary stuff with extraordinary results, he has to find a way to go deeper into ball games.
Manager John Farrell has thrown down the gauntlet to all his starting pitchers to find a way to get, on average, to the seventh inning as a minimum, and more if possible. Its a mandate Morrow embraces.
I think only Ricky (Romero) did a good job of that last year for us, said Morrow Monday. It showed in innings pitched by our rotation. If you took Ricky out of that equation, wed probably be dead last.
Because of his big arm, expectations have probably been out of proportion to Morrows experience. This year will only be his third as a full-time starting pitcher. He went from 146 innings in his first year with Toronto in 2010 up to 179 innings last year. At times in the past, his workload has been carefully managed but the shackles are off.
On the basis of last years 30 starts, if he can find one more inning per start, he would top the 200-inning barrier and provide a solid seven innings-per-start average. Both he and manager John Farrell think Morrows best route to find those extra 30 innings is through more effective use of his very good curve ball.
Thats something Ive struggled with throughout my career: throwing too many pitches per inning, said Morrow. I get a lot of foul balls because a lot of my stuff has been around the same speed range: hard slider, hard fastball. Guys just sit hard and then theyre able to foul off some good pitches. By incorporating my curveball, which is my biggest change-of-speed pitch, Im hoping it is going to either get some weaker contact earlier in the count or maybe even some more swing-and-misses.
A lot of pitchers are able to find those extra innings through the concept of pitching to contact. For a guy like Morrow who has tried that route, it is a bit more difficult because of the power of his game. In the past, when he has tried to pace himself, he has often gotten himself into a mess.
Thats kind of the troubles I got into last year when I was trying to pitch to contact and had to ease up on some pitches to force that contact, he said. It wasnt my best stuff and I was getting hit around a little bit, then some frustration would take over and Id say to heck with it, Im going to stick with my best stuff and you go hard at them and fall into the trap where guys are able to sit hard and able to wear you down by fouling pitches off.
Late in the season, Morrow found his sweet spot, pitching back-to-back shutouts by pitching with a more aggressive attitude. At the time, he described it as pitching with a chip on my shoulder.
I think its more about the conviction with each pitch delivered and throwing each pitch aggressively into the strike zone, he said Monday. Early in my career I was aggressive with a lot of pitches but they may not have made it to the strike zone or only been in the strike zone for a split-second. Hitters recognize that and lay off it. As I was learning to throw those pitches into the strike zone, I maybe had to take a little bit off them, be less aggressive.
Ive gotten to the point now where I believe I can be aggressive with those pitches in the strike zone. Thats the mentality Ive been working toward.
Essentially, what he has done is refine his command while not compromising velocity. It is that command, also, that will allow him to throw more curveballs for strikes and force opponents to not sit on the fastball.
Rather than a hitter coming into the box geared up to face something hard all the time a mid to upper 90s fastball and a hard slider thats where we can get that effect, said Farrell. Right now his curve ball is a little more consistent than his changeup and thats where he can get that separation in his velocity.
It all makes sense in theory. What Morrow envisions is a rotation that is growing together in talent, in experience and in accountability.
Ricky had a great year but another step forward for him would be unbelievable and put him in the top few pitchers in the game. I see the same thing for myself and a big rebound from (Brett) Cecil. He had the 15-win season but with the struggles he had last year, hes been definitely motivated this off-season.
(Henderson) Alvarez was great in a short stint and still, hes so young with plenty of potential. He had consistency, command and presence out there when he was only, what, 21 last year? I think Kyle (Drabek) is going to bounce back. His stuff is too good. And Dustin (McGowan), hes healthy and looking good.
Im not saying its going to happen, but if everybody pitches to their potential, we would have one of the best rotations in the league, absolutely.
On that score, Morrow, with all his excellent tools, could make a big statement all by himself.

Today, quarterly reports are required from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the Government Accountability Office on money spent under the stimulus, also known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. But Garrett's bill would turn that into an annual reporting requirement.
CBO and the Office of Management and Budget are required to make semi-annual reports on TARP, but the bill would make those annual reports as well.
Garrett's bill is one of many suspension bills being taken up this week, all of which will require a two-thirds majority vote for passage.

UConn Health opened its new Urgent Care Center this week on Royce Circle in Storrs Center, offering walk-in medical care for the community.
"Urgent care is ideal for non-life-threatening conditions that need immediate attention, including colds and flu, strep throat, cuts that need attention, sprains, and much more," says Dr. Frank LaSala, an accomplished emergency medicine physician who has seen patients at UConn Health in Farmington for more than 30 years and is now the medical director of the Urgent Care Center in Storrs Center.
Along with LaSala, patients will be seen by Dr. Craig Ryan, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and family medicine and emergency medicine physicians with UConn Health. Currently, the Urgent Care Center is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and walk-ins are welcome.
It is expected that the Urgent Care Center will expand its hours in the fall, when more staff join the UConn Health faculty.
"Nationally, urgent care centers have become increasingly popular because they allow customers to seek medical care on their schedule. In turn, this eases the burden on primary care offices where scheduling demands can make it difficult to accommodate walk-in, emergent cases," says Jim Thibeault, UConn Health's director of strategy and planning.
The opening of the Urgent Care Center marks the second major initiative for UConn Health in Storrs Center. A medical office opened in December, featuring primary care, family medicine, occupational medicine, orthopaedics, and cardiology, including echo cardiogram testing. In addition, patients can schedule outpatient appointments with specialists in general surgery and plastic and reconstructive surgery, and a blood drawing station and x-ray services are available.
Additional clinical services will become available later this year:
- OB/GYN services will be offered, starting in May, in the medical office.
- UConn Health Dental Services, a dental suite with five treatment rooms offering general dentistry services, is expected to open in July.
- Dermatology, and psychiatry services will be available at UConn Health's medical office in the future.
"Combined, the Urgent Care Center, dental services, and medical offices will provide additional specialty services currently not widely available in the greater Storrs community," Thibeault adds. "In addition to serving the public, this opens up an opportunity for students to see specialists, as well as a medical resource for faculty and staff at UConn."

Two tests can help reveal to what extent applicants tell the truth. While such tools shouldn't replace your observation and judgment, they can provide additional information.
Employment Inventory. This test by Personnel Decisions International, (800) 633-4410, consists of true-false and multiple choice questions. It usually takes about 20 minutes and is designed for hourly workers.
Some of PDI's clients asked new employees to complete the test and tracked them for six months—enough time to gauge integrity. PDI then evaluated how honest and dishonest workers answered certain questions.
To pinpoint applicants who give false answers, PDI asks "trick" questions. Example: "You get up early every morning, even on the days you don't go to school or work." While a test-taker may assume a "true" answer enhances integrity, "false" gains points because most people don't wake up early all the time.
Management Performance Predictor. This test by Friedland & Marcus, (800) 931-1107, measures traits critical to a manager's success. The firm has a similar test to help you hire honest salespeople.
The test's 140 items are written for at least an eighth-grade reading level. Applicants use a simple five-point rating scale to answer the questions. You get an interpretive report with specific descriptions of the individual's fit in a managerial role and recommendations for improvement.

Obama to Dumb Down Car Ratings Stickers
- Share
- Tweet
- Comment Now 0
Earlier this month the Obama administration floated a trial balloon about changing the way vehicle information stickers on new cars would be structured. The administration floated the idea of letter grades instead of the more full information that vehicle stickers now contain. The most fuel-efficient would get and "A" rating with less green cars having descending grades.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the letter grades would be used to rate compliance with reen policies. Electric vehicles would be the only ones to get the "A" rating with gas-powered cars getting lesser grades.
On the website of Edmunds.com, a consumer advocate outlet, the response to the letter grading idea was swift and negative. One point made on the site is particularly poignant. An Edmunds respondent said, "Having a giant letter grade will influence buyers too much. Auto companies will start making incredibly fuel efficient cars to get an A grade, which is good, but the over-all quality of the car itself could be lowered." The rest of the comments were equally negative.
101 Things All Young Adults Should Know
by Sir John Hawkins
John Hawkins's book 101 Things All Young Adults Should Know is filled with lessons that newly minted adults need in order to get the most out of life. Gleaned from a lifetime of trial, error, and writing it down, Hawkins provides advice everyone can benefit from in short, digestible chapters.Buy Now
In its story the Journal had a more sensible idea for letter grades. Instead of grading all cars against each other, better to grade cars within the same class. Grading SUVs against other SUVs and electric cars against other electric cars would give the consumer a more realistic idea of where any particular car fits on the efficiency scale. After all, who isn't smart enough to understand that an electric car is more fuel-efficient than a truck or full sized SUV? Who needs nanny government to tell us that?
But this new letter grade idea is yet another example of the Obama administration's penchant to pick which industries he wants to succeed and which he wants to fail, a role that no president has a right to involve himself in.
Worse it treats the consumer like a child. The current stickers offer all sorts of information that reflects an auto's mpg rating both for city and highway driving, as well as a dollar amount of the estimated annual cost of fuel, among other information. But the new stickers would lack that more detailed info. Apparently Obama feels American car buyers aren't intelligent enough to understand the current stickers.
This whole idea is little else but more Obama nanny state, big government intervention in the market and one cannot help but wonder if it's all meant to benefit GM, now known across the country as "Government Motors"?

I bought the Simple Human Slim Dish Rack and was dismayed to find two broken pieces when I opened the box. My observation is that this is a case where minimal, eco-friendly packaging was not sufficient to protect hard plastic pieces in transit.
I called Simple Human and asked them to send me replacement pieces, which they agreed to do. Unfortunately, they sent the wrong pieces. I've requested a "do over" and am waiting to hear their response.
My question is this -- are my initial problems with the product and with Simple Human's customer service typical of the brand? In other words, is clever design winning out over quality? I know the piece comes with a five-year warranty against rust, but, at these prices, I want to make sure the components will hold up over time.

If you have skin, you're at risk for melanoma. Even so, 76 percent of Americans have not had a skin cancer check by a dermatologist.
Skin screening is crucial since melanoma (the deadliest form of skin cancer) is curable when caught in the beginning, treatable stages.
At UConn Health Center, dermatologists use a range of technologies to track and visualize changes within the skin, including changes on the cellular level.
To make an appointment:
Call 860-679-4600
UConn Health Center
21 South Road, Second Floor
Recently, the Health Center became the first dermatology practice in the region to introduce the use of MelaFind, a computer-aided technology that allows dermatologists to see below the skin, evaluate lesions in 3D imaging and determine if a biopsy is necessary.
"This is an amazing technology that can look through the skin and identify the telltale signs of melanoma," says Dr. Jane Grant-Kels, chair of the Department of Dermatology at the UConn Health Center. "With this technology, patients can be spared needless biopsies. Ultimately, that is easier on patients, as even a small incision can result in pain, scarring or embarrassing bandages."
Melanoma Most Deadly
All types of skin cancer are serious, though melanoma is the most deadly. Early detection is critical.
Often the first sign of melanoma is a change in the size, shape, color, or feel of a mole. Most melanomas have a black or black-blue area. Melanoma may also appear as a new mole. It may be black, abnormal, or "ugly looking."
Thinking of "ABCDE" can help you remember what to watch for:
- Asymmetry – the shape of one half does not match the other
- Border – the edges are ragged, blurred or irregular
- Color – the color is uneven and may include shades of black, brown and tan
- Diameter – there is a change in size, usually an increase
- Evolving – the mole has changed over the past few weeks or months
Surgery is the first treatment of all stages of melanoma. Other treatments include chemotherapy and radiation, biologic, and targeted therapies. Biologic therapy boosts your body's own ability to fight cancer. Targeted therapy uses substances that attack cancer cells without harming normal cells.

It's Time To Talk About The Photo Of Jon Hamm And Daniel Radcliffe Bathing In A Tub Together
Although this photo of Jon Hamm and Daniel Radcliffe sitting in a tub together reveals nothing, it's a nice reminder that one day they could release a sex tape together detailing their bathroom exploits. Just a 90 minute pornodrama about the time Harry Potter failed out of Hogwarts and got forced to go into the world of muggle advertising. After one too many conference calls with clients, he realizes that he should let his wand do most of the work. And I'm not talking about that wand.
Jon Hamm takes him under his wing, like Christian Grey took Anastasia Steele under his whip and the two learn about a magical world that neither knew existed. I can picture it now.
But I'll be honest with you. This photo's not from a pornodrama, it's not from any of the 43 Harry Potter movies and it's not from Mad Men. It's from a recurring dream I have that I had Sting set to music. It should be opening up on Broadway in spring 2013 and you can conveniently pre-order tickets by sending a self-addressed stamped envelope full of unmarked bills to my home address.
No but seriously it's from 4-part series called A Young Doctor's Notebook that may or may not ever air in this country. So take this photo in ladies because I don't know when you'll be getting another one. According to Sky Arts HD, the movie's a dark comedy about the Russian Revolution. I'm already laughing just thinking about the Russian Revolution, which makes me think the movie will be the kind that makes reviewers say "hilarity ensues!"
Also the kind of movie that makes women say horrible things like, "I have a lady boner!" But I guess we'll have to wait until it premieres to really see.

Discussion in 'Nintendo Wii Gaming' started by pro gamer, Feb 16, 2008.
What is the quickest time you beat a game? And which game was it? I beat Devil may cry 2 in 2 days.
My quickest time has to be beating call of duty 3 on veteran in 3 days.
Hahaha, I have no idea. As this is in Wii gaming, I can say Red Steel at 14 hours. That was my first and only time through, so I'm sure I could have gotten it down a bit.
TMNT for the 360 took me a day about 7hrs or maybe 6
Trace Memory; my first time through it took me 5 hours and I got the better ending. The second time through, it took me 2 hours but I didn't get the better ending.
Recently it was probably Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 for the Wii since Campaign Mode only takes around 3-4 days. After that, I just went back and got all the Medals you could. Currently playing online since there is no point going back.
Great game though...
around 10 hours
I beat the Gamecube Medal of Honour:European invasion in like 20 minutes
that game was so short
20 minutes. That must have been fast.
super mario bros in about 15-20 minutes.
You probably used the pipes that warp.
i beat excite truck in less than a day
Super mario world for nes with 100%.....within a day
ou beat the extra levels?!
damn i wouldn't be able to do that.....
Tubular is so hard, i beat it a couple of times, but i don't think i'd beat all the special levels so quick, i think on the virtual console i'm stuck on mondo
Halo 1 was about 13 hours and that was the first day I got it.
yeah.......i flew through it with a purple yoshi......lol
if you been through a lot of times......like me....you pretty much know where everything is and the quickest way to get them
spyro:riptos rage for ps1 in 3 hours

Even for the most passionate Terrence Malick fan, To The Wonder is a bit of a slog.
Although mesmerizing to look at, this tale of love and regret meanders more than somewhat, and certain sections of the film are impenetrable.
To The Wonder is focused on Marina, a woman played by Olga Kurylenko. She lives in Paris with her little daughter, and Ben Affleck plays Neil,an American who comes into their lives.
A key early scene involves Marina and Neil's visit to the island abbey of Mont St. Michel, where they walk around the tidal island and marvel at its beauty.
And marvel at their love for each other.
In time, their relationship gets more serious and they move together to Oklahoma. These sequences are incredible for the way in which Marina's cultural and emotional isolation are conveyed. She voices-over much of the story; under the vast sky, living now in a huge development of fantastically ugly new subdivision houses, there is nobody with whom she can communicate.
For all that Affleck is her co-star, he almost isn't in the movie. His face is often turned away from the camera or he's only partially in certain shots, a reflection of his character's reserve and emotional absence, no doubt. As the relationship between Neil and Marina begins to fall apart, she takes comfort in the presence of a visiting priest (Javier Bardem) who is equally alone and wondering about his place in the universe.
Rachel McAdams comes into the story briefly as a woman from Neil's past and someone he obviously has not forgotten. When it comes to infidelity, Marina wanders off with a comparative stranger; it's a gesture that appears to be designed as a wakeup call for Neil, but it raises more questions than it answers. Pity and anger seem to be the emotions Neil knows best.
To The Wonder is a meditation on love -- physical, spiritual, emotional -- and regret, and the story seems to belong to the past and to sorrow. Malick has carefully avoided giving away any information about his own life, but To The Wonder appears to be somewhat autobiographical -- the director was married in Paris many years ago; that marriage ended, and he then married an American woman he had dated in high school.
Like all Malick films, this one is so gorgeous you could eat it, but making sense of it is another story. Fans who know enough to just give over and let To The Wonder hypnotize them will love what they see, but those not enamoured of Malick's work should consider themselves warned.
