Thank you, Sara, for that gracious introduction. You are well recognized among your peers as one of the best lawyers in this region and your professionalism, your civic contributions and our friendship have all been blessings to me.
It is an honor to be invited to be here today and to be offered the opportunity to speak to you about the critically important issues of domestic and sexual violence. The President, Vice-President, Attorney General and the entire United States Department of Justice, including the United States Attorneys, are in partnership with all of you and committed to the mission of identifying, reducing and hopefully eliminating this problem. We appreciate and applaud your vitally important, compelling work.
I remember the formation of the Women's Shelter in 1974. At that time, my Dad, Jack Hickton, was the District Attorney of Allegheny County. One of his first initiatives was to prioritize the prevention of rape and he created a "Rape Squad" of prosecutors and professionals to prosecute sexual assault and to help the victims. In those days, he was criticized for replacing prosecutors with "sociologists." In fact, he was ahead of his time.
If I remember correctly, the Women's Center and Shelter and Pittsburgh Action Against Rape (PAAR) were formed in 1974 as pioneering domestic and sexual violence organizations, bringing together qualified and caring professionals to deal with the full spectrum of harm due to domestic violence. You are pioneers. You are heroes and your work is earthly ministry.
In recognition of the severity of the crimes associated with domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking, Congress first passed the Violence Against Women Act in 1994. Passed with broad bi-partisan support, and sponsored by then-Senator Biden, VAWA was borne of a grassroots movement that exposed our response to violent crimes against women as woefully inadequate and morally reprehensible. VAWA firmly established that our government, and the Department of Justice in particular, bear responsibility to speak out, to act and to provide leadership and support in the efforts to end violence against women.
Since 1994, we have witnessed a sea-change and paradigm shift in how communities respond to sexual violence, domestic violence and stalking. Domestic violence is no longer a "family matter" that lurks in the shadows of our lives. VAWA combined strict criminal penalties to prosecute offenders with aid to every jurisdiction. Grants encouraged the development of a coordinated community response, enlisting law enforcement, victim advocates, prosecutors, judges, health care professionals, probation and corrections officials, the faith-based community and survivors of violence. Since its passage, more than $4 billion has been awarded to communities across the nation.
The Violence Against Women Act also created the Office on Violence Against Women, currently headed by Susan Carbon, who is a valued friend and learned partner in our work together. A former judge, Susan's relentless commitment is inspiring, and we were pleased and honored to work with her in the successful effort to revise the Uniform Crime Report's definition of "rape," Which now includes victims of either gender, encompassing instances in which the victim is incapable of giving consent because of temporary or permanent mental or physical incapacity, including due to drugs or alcohol or age. We can anticipate more comprehensive and accurate reporting of sexual violence nationwide in the future.
This was a long overdue victory which also sends a message to the broad range of rape victims that they will be counted and supported.
Despite progress in raising consciousness and achieving a cultural transformation in how we regard domestic and sexual violence, the sad reality as demonstrated by recent statistics is still difficult to fathom. We know that unacceptable levels of violence and victimization persist; that women are most often victimized by people they know; and, that women are most often murdered by a family member or intimate partner. Disturbingly, intimate partner homicide is the leading cause of death for African American women aged 15 to 45 years of age.
As a resource, I refer you to the 2010 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey published by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. This comprehensive work reveals the scope of the problem. Among the findings were:
- More than 1 in 3 women (35.6%) and one in 4 men (28.5%) have experienced rape, physical violence and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime.
- Approximately 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men in the US have experienced severe physical violence by an intimate partner at some point in their lifetime.
- More than half of female victims (51.1%) report being raped by an intimate partner and 40.8% by an acquaintance; among men, half (52.4%) reported being raped by an acquaintance;
- 1 in 6 women (16.2%) has experienced stalking victimization at some point, fearing or believing that they or someone close to them would be harmed or killed.
- Two-thirds (66.2%) of female victims of stalking were stalked by a current or former intimate partner; men were also primarily stalked by an intimate partner or acquaintance.
- Nearly half of all women in the US have experienced at least one form of psychological aggression by an intimate partner during their lifetime, with 4 in 10 reporting some form of aggressive expression, or some form of coercive control.
The CDC Survey also shows that victimization starts at a surprisingly young age. 80% of female victims experienced their first rape before the age of 25, and almost half experienced the first rape before the age of 18. 28% of male victims were first raped when they were 10 years old or younger.
The numbers are similarly sobering when it comes to children's experience with domestic violence. A survey by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention found that 1 in 4 children are exposed to some form of family violence in their lifetime. When children witness or experience violence, it affects how they develop, how they learn and how they behave. Without intervention, children are at higher risk for school failure, substance abuse, repeat victimization, and perhaps most tragically, perpetuating violence later in their own lives.
We can and must do better.
The problems we face cannot be solved by government alone. I know there are many business leaders here today who actively support the vital work of the Women's Center and Shelter. Thank for your commitment and support. You surely recognize that behind every statistic is a mother, daughter, sister, friend, employee or colleague. We also know that in times of economic hardship the most vulnerable in our society often bear the greatest burden. Domestic violence is not a women's issue, but one that wholly affects the economy and security of our nation, and every nation.
So what can we do?
While we will be relentless in enforcing the laws, it is clear that we cannot prosecute our way to a solution. We need community-based efforts, including public and private partnerships, to solve these complicated and costly challenges. We know that we must be open to new ideas and approaches, and must form new coalitions to bring about change. We must dare to think differently, innovate and adapt our strategies to the changing nature of the crimes. We must learn to communicate with each other more effectively and faster. We can support the good work of the Women's Center and Shelter and other groups which, in a moment of despair and darkness, extend a caring hand and change and preserve lives.
I look forward to continuing our work together toward a shared vision of communities that are free of violence.
Thank you for your support.

Discussion in 'Nintendo Wii Gaming' started by bilzar, Jan 22, 2008.
I actually find this quite funny :lol:
LOL that is quite funny. 330 still not enough though. :lol:
i don't believe the maps. :smilewinkgrin:
You are so right!
Lol fat fukkers
I hardly believe that if someone weighs 300 pounds or over that there even going to have the motivation to do a workout videogame. I'm sorry but if you weigh that much their money is probably going to burgers and tacos and not wii fit.
i say keep it at 300...maybe even lower it. -_-
people that are fat don't deserve special accomodations. by making an effort to better "fit" these morbidly obese people, our society is sending a message that it is acceptable to be that heavy. hell, i'm all for restauraunts with weight limits!
"you must weigh less than ___ lbs to enter"
:lol: lol that might make America a little skinnier! Ban obese people from restraunts!
Me neither. I think it fails to mention that the weight that is considered obese has changed over the years.
Also, "obese" is just a pound to height ratio that doesnt consider muscle mass. For example, a short body builder can be "over-weight/obese" but that doesn't mean they are "over-fat".
The fact that Nintendo made it 30 lbs. more durable is neglectable. I mean really...if someone gets up to 300 lbs., they probably just go ahead and let themselves go, and dont just stop at 330...i think it was fine where it was...
If they dont adjust it for fat people their will be public whining about it.
Connecticut is one of the skinny states
How ridiculous, Americans are so fat...I honestly dont think just raising the limit 30 pounds is enough, lol.
thats pathetic...
im proud to say that I weigh under 100 pounds. lol
I was hoping this message post will have the release date on it.
Oh well...
But looks like it is coming but it seems they need to re-design it before they bring it out here.
It is sad I agree, but also for exsample I wiegh around 260-270lbs and thats after Army bootcamp and AIT. I'm not a body builder by any means but its not cheeseburgers and Chunky monkey either.
I think they should just bring it out now and than bring out a 2nd version that can support heavier weight.
Because now it will be delay for few more months while they redesign it.
once again, WE'RE #1!!!!!
but it should support 400 lbs... seriously.
luckily i weigh 115 lbs (i'm 26 years old btw..). i'm not saying i'm obese, but if my metabolism wasn't as good as it is, i would be 200+ i'm so lazy.. i need to workout. i just dont feel healthy or energetic.
Ummm...they base obese on BMI, not weight for the very reasons you state.

Morgan Motor Co. will revive its Morgan Plus 8 vehicle as a new and full -ledged model at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. Morgan will display two versions of the Plus 8: a production variant that runs with BMW's 4.8-litre normally aspirated V8; and a prototype sports car labeled 'Plus-e.' The production Plus 8 will be presented at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show along with the company's all-aluminum 'Aero'-series flagship vehicles, and the six-cylinder Morgan Roadster.
The production Plus 8 uses a bonded and riveted aluminum chassis, instead of the galvanized steel ladder chassis that carries the Roadster and Plus 4. The production Plus 8 has slightly smaller proportions than the Aero Supersports, with a curb weight of around 1100kg without fluids.
Described by Morgan as its 'most comfortable classic model,' the Plus 8 featured a leather upholstered cockpit, a high quality audio system and a double-lined convertible roof. The Plus 8 is powered by a V8 engine with up to 390bhp in output with manual transmission as standard.
A buyer, however, could choose to install a six-speed torque converter automatic transmission. Both transmissions allow the Plus 8 to accelerate to 62 mph in 4.5 seconds. If the buyer wants to save on gas, he should choose the Plus 8 with automatic gearbox, as it could return 26 mpg on the combined cycle.
As for the Plus-e, the company is still developing the electric sports car for production "as soon as possible," according to Morgan chief designer Matt Humphries. Although Morgan has yet to release specs of the Plus-e, Humphries described it as a working car with a usable range.
"You just charge it up and go for a blast," Humphries remarked. Morgan will also unveil at the Geneva Motor Show a closed cockpit version of the Aero Supersports, which it labeled Aero Coupe, and a modified version of the Roadster that runs on Ford's 3.7-litre, 260bhp Mustang V6.

Calling all who love, and are fascinated by, flavour and live in or near London. The London Gastronomy Seminars, convened by a small group of passionate believers in fine flavours, led by wine and food writer Francis Percival, Neal's Yard cheese buyer Bronwen Percival and flavour scientist Dr Rachel Edwards-Stuart, has just set up its new website and organised its first public event on the subject of flavour extraction. See the website for more on the covenors and what they are aiming to do via a new series of public lectures.
Tickets are now available for the first public lecture, on the subject of flavour extraction. The keynote speaker will be Hervé This, the famous physical chemist at the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA) in Paris who has 'achieved international renown for his part (along with the late Nicholas Kurti) in developing molecular gastronomy as an academic discipline'. The other speakers are Tony Conigliaro, owner of the bar at 69 Colebrooke Row and one of the UK's pioneering drinks creators; and John Forbes, a chemist with over 30 years experience in the analysis and isolation of natural molecules from essential oils for flavour and perfumery use.
I went to an informal preview of this event and found it absolutely fascinating, not just because of the subject matter but also because there was such a great mix of people working in diverse sectors of the food and drinks industry.

Data decay happens naturally because of how often people change jobs or titles, companies go out of business, and mergers occur. Because of this, many organizations are working with a B2B database that is cluttered with outdated, invalid, or incomplete contacts. Dirty data impacts all areas of an organization, including marketing, lead generation, customer relationships, and finance.
The experts at ZoomInfo put together an infographic outlining data decay's costly impact. Here are some statistics for you to pay attention to:
- 62% of organizations rely on marketing and prospect data that's up to 40% inaccurate
- Up to 25% of B2B database contacts contain critical errors
- 40% of business objectives fail due to inaccurate data
- 1-10-100 rule: It costs $1 to verify a record as it's entered, $10 to scrub and cleanse it later, and $100 if nothing is done
Check out more statistics about data decay below:
ZoomInfo can help you turn your rotten apples into apple pie! We'll eliminate obsolete records, update missing fields, check email validity, and append your B2B data with information such as industry, company revenue and size, title, job function, management level, and much more.

Big Lake
By Frank Chamberlain
The Thurber residents referred to the largest lake in the vicinity as "Big Lake". This 150-acre lake was built in 1896 and is located about a mile southeast of the town. The purpose of the reservoir was to provide a water supply for the rapidity growing community. Previously, water was hauled in by railroad from nearby Strawn. T&P Coal Company President Col. Robert Hunter sought to eliminate this expense and increase the self-sufficiency of the town by building Thurber its own water supply [Hardman 106, Rhinehart 57,Woodard 53].
A smaller twenty-acre lake had been dug in 1881, but company officials recognized that it would not be able to adequately supply enough water to suit the town. After the larger counterpart was built five years later, this body of water became known as "Little Lake." It is located a few hundred yards immediately south of town [Hardman 105, Woodard 52].
T&P General Manager W.K. Gordon designed and supervised the construction of "Big Lake" at a cost of over twenty one thousand dollars. This job involved fifty men, a steam shovel, four one-mule carts, and two large mule teams. The process involved cutting down trees and hauling off stones and dirt. A mile-long pipeline connected the lake to a tank on Cemetery Hill on the north side of town. At first, water was sold to residents by the barrel, but eventually it was piped straight into the houses [Hardman 106, Woodard 53].
"Big Lake" was an important recreation spot for company officials. Col. Hunter organized the R.D. Hunter Fishing and Boating Club whose members possessed the exclusive right to go boating and fish for the catfish, crappie, bass, and bream that were introduced to the lake. The rest of the town population was not permitted to engage in such activities on the premises. However, the common employees were allowed to fish, swim, and boat at "Little Lake." In 1903, a special picnic was held for the employees at "Big Lake." Over one thousand people attended the festivities that included games, music, free food, and complimentary beer. In actuality, the event was organized by company officials in order to divert the workers' attention away from a planned pro-union rally rather than out of any desire to exhibit the bosses' playground [Bielinski 180, Gentry 175, Hardman 106].
A near-disaster befell the lake in 1919 as heavy rains caused the dam to break on the northeast side of the lake. Almost 2/3 of the water spilled into the valley between the lake and Mingus, filling the countryside with an assortment of fish. Townspeople made the best of this unfortunate occurrence by gathering up large numbers of the helpless creatures. A team of nearly sixty men was able to repair the damage using motors and dump cars to haul in tremendous amounts of concrete, dirt, and rock with which to seal the break [Hardman 108].
The Thurber dairy was located about one hundred yards northeast of the lake. This industry was founded in 1896, and provided the town with meat and milk. Two large silos were located nearby in order to hold the feed for the company cattle. However, these receptacles were abandoned after a few years due primarily to the dry weather that hampered production of the silage. These silos can still be seen on the southern side of Interstate 20 east of Thurber. A tragic incident occurred during the first year of operations at the dairy. A fire broke out in the barn, killing all thirty-one cows that were chained up inside. The company recovered from the loss of its livestock, rebuilding the facilities on the same location. The dairy continued to operate until 1921 after the coal industry was shut down [Hardman 110-111].
Today, "Big Lake" is referred to as "Thurber Lake" and is home to the Thurber Lake Resort. Vacationers and locals alike are able to camp out in resort cabins, go fishing, or play golf on the grounds.

Jennifer Lopez's Beauty Must Haves
Jennifer Lopez on the "J. Lo Glow," Her Beauty Must-Have, and More
We're excited to present this article from Allure!
On every episode of American Idol, the judge who talks like a thoughtful, caring mentor looks like a diva. Jennifer Lopez is always keeping her beauty looks fresh: rocking bold lips one night, dark eyes the next; she's worn her hair in a smooth bun and loose waves—of course, she always has dewy skin. We talked to the singer and reality show judge about how she gets her J. Lo glow and when she feels her most beautiful. To see the rest, just keep reading.
How do you feel about the term "J. Lo Glow" in reference to your skin? Is it nice to have your own phrase? I love that! I didn't know I had my own phrase! I love that the idea of having healthy glowing skin—that people think that of me. That's awesome.
How do you take care of your skin? I'm a big believer in the basics. Less is more. I get my cleanser from my dermatologist. I need a great cleanser because I've had to wear a lot of makeup for so many years. I use a very mild makeup remover and a very basic sunscreen-moisturizer combo, and I try to get lots of sleep.
What beauty product do you always have with you in your purse? [L'Oréal] Elnett [Strong Hold Hair Spray]. Because I feel like if your hair doesn't look good, it doesn't matter how much makeup you have on.
Do you regret following any particular beauty trend when you were younger? [Laughs] No, I stand by all my awful looks!
What will you teach your daughter about beauty? That it comes from the inside; because you can be the most physically beautiful girl, but if you're not a beautiful person, that shows. So I really do teach her to love herself and to know that beauty is something that comes from the inside.
When do you feel your most beautiful? I guess when I'm on the red carpet all glammed up. I've taken a long time getting ready and I have a beautiful creation of a dress on, and a beautiful creation of a hairdo—I feel pretty spectacular in those moments.
Check out the rest of her interview in the April issue of Allure (on newsstands Wednesday), where she takes us through her best music video beauty looks, from her crystal-covered body in "Waiting for Tonight" (they were held on with eyelash glue!) to her dark black tresses in "Que Hiciste."

Denver Disco presents
Mike Dee(z), Charles B, FUN FACTORY, MANTARAY
Bar Standard
1037 Broadway
Denver, CO, 80203
This event is 21 and over
Everyone can now make music. The increasing access to music related technology and the liquid flow of music and information is a blessing to aspiring musicians, but a curse to those who have to sift through the terrible mash-ups and tunes in order to find quality music. Based out of New York City's Lower East Side, The Knocks are taking a stand and reclaiming good music for all.
The Knocks - Ben "B-Roc" Ruttner and James "Jpatt" Patterson - garnered their name from the early days of their production career when they tirelessly worked out of their home studios and complaining neighbors would knock on their doors. Coupled with DJing and making mixtapes, the pair cobbled together enough money to open their studio; HeavyRoc Music. Following the tried and tested route of classic New York producers of the past, the pair would head straight from the studio to the club with a new fresh jam to test on the crowd in their DJ sets.
They have since produced original material and remixes for Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Marina & the Diamonds, and now their own music. With heavy rotation on Australia's Triple J, their single "Make It Better" was released on Neon Gold Records and their hit "Dancing With the DJ" was #1 on both the Hype Machine and Japan's iTunes. The Knocks have been taking their energetic live dance party all over the world, including their sold out NYC Bowery Ballroom debut, Tammany Hall headlining show and their European tour with Sleigh Bells and M.I.A. They've shared the stage with acts like Big Boi, Chromeo, and just finished a U.S. tour with Ellie Goulding. Be prepared, because The Knocks will be knocking at your door and stereo very soon.
Mike Dee(z)
The DJ is the cornerstone to the emcee, the party, the club, and the scene. Not only does DJ Mike Deez hold down the fort on the ones and twos, but dude gets every party popping like no other. This native son of Denver's Northglenn grew up rummaging through his folks' vinyl collection. Eventually manifesting this love of all things sonic into playing with various punk/ progressive rock bands near the turn of the century. From there Mike Deez began spinning his band's afterparties, eventually realizing his true talent rested in making the crowd dance, not mosh. Today, finding a truly dope DJ can be pressing. Unfortunately we're all too familiar with the same tired power-mixes and mundane Top-40 snoozers. Some of these guys now couldn't move the crowd with a gun, but Mike Deez is of a rare breed. He feels the energy. He moves where the music directs him while unwaveringly giving the people what they want - a party. During his stint in Chicago, Mike Deez became a regular on the club/ lounge scene spinning at Sonoteque, Burlington, and Pint; as well as Wicker Park hotspots Blue Note, and accepting residency at Plan B. Always venturing down various avenues of music and media he's assisted in PR projects for Biz3, home to heavyweights Justice and Daft Punk. DJ Mike Deez left his fingerprints on everything from fashion shows, to house parties, even leading his hand to guest production duties for local Chicago emcees.
Upon moving back to Denver Mike became resident DJ at Beta, voter #1 club in America, yes America, by DJ Magazine. He's spun alongside renowned DJs Designer Drugs, Villians, DMC Champion's DJ Craze, Daft Punk's DJ Falcon, Tittsworth, La Riots, and Tommie Shunshine among others. He's had guest appearances at Denver Indie staples Lipgloss and Disco Nouveau, as well as the world famous Monolith Music Festival. DJ Mike Deez is continuing to hold down Denver thoroughly, spinning the illest and keeping backs sweating from Sunday to Monday. The kid knows music, he knows people, and most importantly, he will keep your ass moving. Period.
Charles Buckley, aka Charles B, hails from Richmond, Virginia but took the high road to Denver some years back. When Charles strays away from his nine to five, he is stirring a frenzy on Ableton for his next show around the Centennial State.
MantaRay has developed his own blend of original Space Junk w the release of the Space Cadet EP to close out 2012.

Fifty Years - Poem by David Harris
Fifty years ago I took up the pen
on a spur of the moment thought;
never thinking of the heartaches
in doing so would lead me to
or the sadness and loneliness
that would follow my life.
Nor the nights I cried
for the rejections I received,
not for what I had written,
but for whom I happened to be.
There have been times when friends
turned their backs on me,
but the greatest hurt came from within my family.
Always saying my sister could do it better,
but never the encouragement when I needed it
the most to spur me on to do better,
just words that brought disgust
and sadness into my life,
that made me walk down vacant streets
alone with only my thoughts for company.
Now fifty years on I'm at a crossroad
not sure which way to turn.
One road leads to giving up
while the other leads to carry on,
but I'm trapped in a time capsule
with the past revolving around my head
and decisions getting harder with every step I take.
Both directions are grabbing my arms
in a tug of war to cross their line.
One side wants me to give up
and never write again.
While the other wants me to carry on
reaching for the dreams I always wanted.
Tonight I'll cry myself to sleep
on a pillow already stained with many tears.
Perhaps I'll wake in the morning
and a decision will be made
or will it be another day
of torment at what I should do.
Only the future knows the answer
and at the moment it's not telling me.

We're just a few days away from the NBA Playoffs, but teams are still playing hard in order to move up the Playoff seedings or to maintain their positions. The red-hot Knicks were led once again by Carmelo Anthony, who set aside his M9s and went with the Jordan Melo M8 Advance, while Nate Robinson of the Bulls went with the Air Jordan XIII "Playoffs". Russell Westbrook's Air Jordan XX8 PE deserves some notice, as does Eric Bledsoe's Nike LeBron X "Christmas". The best sighting goes to Monta Ellis, who rocked the Air Jordan VII "Hare".

text: Make no mistake about it, this year's E3 is going to be all about the Wii U, with everyone expecting Nintendo to launch its next console in grand style at this June's gaming extravaganza in LA. This means that peripheral makers are also getting ready to reveal their Wii U-compatible wares, and according to a rumour reported on by Nintendo Life, this could include a Wii U peripheral from haptics tech company ViviTouch. The information comes from a leaked E3 floor plan that seems to indicate that ViviTouch will be demonstrating an unnamed Wii U peripheral that features its haptic technology. For those unfamiliar with the technology, it basically is said to create a more immersive gameplaying experience. The details are all a little sketchy at the moment, as with all the best rumours, so we don't even know if this means that the Wii U controller will actually have built-in haptics technology, or just that ViviTouch will be launching its own third-party controller or add-on for the new Nintendo console. Still it's an interesting thought to ponder.

Blockbuster On-Demand
Blockbuster has yet another way to get their movies into your home. And this one looks like it could make a bit of a splash. Blockbuster has been losing the battle with Netflix, with hundreds of stores shutting down recently. Their subscription service let them compete head-to-head, and consumers liked having movies delivered to their home.
However, when Netflix unveiled their Roku box that let consumers stream to a box that could be viewed on their TVs, Blockbuster only had Movielink. Movielink is a great download service, but it confined the movies to a computer - a PC at that - it still is not Mac-compatible.
Blockbuster's brand new on-demand service will rely the MediaPointTM digital media player, on a box made by 2Wire Inc., and it will be similar to the storage device supplied by Vudu.
See how much this pay-per-view box will set you back.
To get started, Blockbuster will be selling their box for $99, but that will include 25 on-demand rentals. After that, rentals will run at least $1.99 each. So, bottom line, about $50 bucks.
There's something to be said for this type of service. Stuck at home on a cold, rainy weekend, I wanted to watch something, but nothing on DirecTV pay-per-view appealed to me, my computer screen is too small and the sound is too crappy for an online option, and I had no interest in heading to the video store. Unlike Netflix, this doesn't require a monthly fee. Personally, I don't rent enough to warrant a monthly subscription, so this system is very appealing to me.
Also unlike Netflix, Blockbuster is promising their on-demand service will provide more recent titles than Netflix, although it will start with only 2,000 titles available. They're also promising better quality and quantity than the Netflix streams. It uses "progressive playback" instead of streaming, so the quality remains DVD-quality no matter what happens to your Internet speed.
Is this what it's going to take for Blockbuster to make a stand against the unstoppable Netflix machine? —Leslie Shapiro

RECIPE: Deconstructed Enchilada Salad
Deconstruct enchiladas into an enchilada
We always enjoy a taco salad, but had never set eyes on an enchilada salad until we received this recipe from QVC's chef, David Venable.
Instead of wrapping enchilada fillings in a tortilla, the fillings become part of a crunchy salad, and the tortillas are toasted and cut into crispy strips.
David sent this recipe for Cinco de Mayo, but it's also a good choice for a light, flavorful warm weather lunch or light dinner.
Notes David, "With all of the flavor but half of the prep of regular enchiladas, this is a great recipe to whip up for a weeknight celebration."
For The Dressing
For The Salad

1. MAKE the dressing: Add all the ingredients to a food processor and process until smooth.
2. TOAST the tortillas: Pour the oil into a 10″ skillet and set the heat to medium. Heat for 5 minutes, add one tortilla, and fry for about 30 seconds, or until crispy. Flip and fry the other side until crispy. Remove the tortilla from the oil and drain it on a paper towel. Prepare the remaining tortillas as directed and when cool, roughly chop into strips.
3. ASSEMBLE the salad: Place half of the romaine lettuce in a clear glass salad bowl and layer the ingredients in this order: tomatoes, red onion, the remaining romaine, corn, olives, chicken, red peppers, chopped tortillas, queso fresco, and scallions. Serve with the dressing.

Nikon AF 24-85 F/2.8-4 or Sigma 24-70 F/2.8 HSM
abmehta wrote:
I own a Nikon D600 (FF) camera and thinking of getting a zoom in the wide to standard range. I would love to get the Nikon AF-S 24-70 F/2.8 but do not have the money to get that at the moment. So I am considering these two alternatives at the moment.
- Nikon AF 24-85 F2.8-4
- Sigma 24-70 F2.8 HSM (one with the AF motor)
The two are much cheaper and I think will work for me for the moment. I have read the reviews of both these lenses and still I am pretty confused between the two. I have read about slowness of the lens, and that they are pretty soft and so on. But at the moment I can only spare the cash for one of these. So any help in my selection will be greatly appreciated.
I would like to say that I am a little biased towards the Nikon 24-85 as it gives me that extra zoom but I will go for the Sigma if the F2.8 constant is worth it.
- So my main decision point is the constant F2.8 of Sigma or the more zoom available on Nikon obviously keeping in mind that at the end of the day getting good pictures is the main issue and not the specs of the lens.
Consider the Nikon 24-120 as well. Great piece of glass that is pretty clean at f/4 (wide open) and provides a little more reach than either the Sigma or the Nikon 24-85. Faster focusing, I think, than either of them as well, considering it's from Nikon's 2nd-tier professional lens lineup. It's not much more than the Sigma or the 24-85 as well.

Anthony Campbell's 'killer' Mangan beaten up in savage jail attack
A dangerous criminal who was named in open court as being involved in the murders of Martin Marlo' Hyland and innocent plumber Anthony Campbell was severely beaten in jail.
John Mangan was assaulted by up to six inmates in Mountjoy Prison, and forced to move from the jail landing which he has lived for a number of years.
Mangan (46) of Whitestown Green, Blanchardstown, was among dozens of criminals arrested in relation to the shocking double murder of Marlo' and Anthony Campbell in December 2006, but gardai did not have enough evidence to charge him despite considering him a chief suspect.
In March 2012, journalist Paul Williams gave evidence in Dublin Circuit Criminal Court alleging Willie Hynes and John Mangan were responsible for the double murder, and that the late Eamon The Don' Dunne acted as the getaway driver.
Mr Williams said two former lieutenants of Hyland were allegedly involved in the murders and named them as Hynes and Mangan. He said that Dunne was allegedly spotted in the area driving them away.
But while John Mangan was a feared gangland criminal seven and a half years ago, the Mountjoy Prison attack - which happened last Friday - show that is no longer the case.
A jail insider told The Herald: "He was jumped by around half a dozen young fellas after he got smart with them. They don't care about his reputation and they left his face in some state.
"It all kicked off on the B landing of the jail and Mangan was told that he is not wanted there.
"So he was moved off the landing and has been rehoused to the C landing in the prison. He has been left in a terrified state and is very shaken."
Mangan was a key member of the gang that was led by Martin Marlo' Hyland, but he and his close associate Finglas criminal William Hynes were snared after a massive operation by gardai at Brown's Barn, south Dublin, in July 31, 2006.
More than €2m worth of cannabis resin was seized by gardai in 14 boxes split between a Ford Transit van and an Opel Astra car in Brown's Barn public house car park. The two men were arrested nearby.
After a lengthy trial in November 2009, Judge Patrick McCartan imposed a 12-year sentence on Hynes and a 14-year sentence on Mangan.
When the Brown's Barn seizure happened in 2006 both Hynes and Mangan were on bail for other serious offences linked to Marlo's crew at the time of the operation.
Gardai believe the Brown's Barn bust directly led to the murder of Hyland because gang members suspected that Marlo' was touting to gardai.
The capture was part of the gardai's Operation Oak which targeted Hyland's gang and led to 41 arrests and 26 charges.
Only five months before that, Mangan was arrested in Drumconda and was caught with more than €300k of cannabis.
When he was arrested on that occasion and asked what was in the bag, he replied: "Hash, what do you think? That's what happens when you owe people money."
He said "the job" was worth €2,000 to him off a €9,000 debt.
Just eight months after Marlo' and Anthony Campbell were shot dead, Mangan was arrested with a loaded Luger pistol down his trousers in the Comet pub in Santry in August, 2007.
He was on bail on the two charges of possession of cannabis at this time.
Mangan told gardai his life had been threatened between eight and 10 times that year and he was only carrying the pistol for his safety.
Mangan is serving 10 years for the firearms offence on top of the 14-year drugs sentence imposed on him in 2009.

Planning help please
Hi guys,
I only have a rough itinerary at this stage but would really appreciate some help.
My partner and I will be flying into Osaka (KIX) on the 28th December.
So, train into the city. Osaka - Nara return. Osaka - Kyoto return. Plus any local trains.
Trains in between the ski areas listed above.
Nagano - Tokyo on the 17th Jan.
So at this early stage, am I looking at a JR Pass? I'm over the 21 days unfortunately so I'm not quite sure what to do...
Any advice appreciated.
Hi Mitch,
Looking at your plan so far, I would say go for normal tickets, this because your train travel is not that much and your long distance travel is limited to two legs. These are Osaka - Nagano (¥ 11,670) and Nagano - Narita Airport (¥ 10,680). I am also saying this because it is better to take an express bus between the Ski resorts which is specially build to transport snow gear.
Hope this helps!

UNIONDALE, N.Y., Dec. 3 (UPI) -- Marian Gaborik finished a hat trick by scoring the game-winner with 5:25 to go Thursday, giving the New York Rangers a 6-5 win over the New York Islanders.
The Rangers took a 2-0 lead, fell behind 3-2, regained a 5-3 advantage and then found themselves tied after Michael Grabner and Blake Comeau scored for the Islanders less than 2 minutes apart in the third period.
Gaborik, however, tallied on a wrist shot 25 seconds after Comeau's goal to hand the Islanders their 15th loss in 16 games. The Islanders have won just five times all season, three fewer than any other team in the league.
It was the 12th career hat trick for Gaborik, who produced the Rangers' last three goals. He has eight for the season.
Marty Biron started in goal for the Rangers and gave up three scores on 21 shots before being replaced by Henrik Lundqvist.
Rick DiPietro took the loss, giving up all six goals on 26 shots. The teams will meet again Friday in Madison Square Garden.

Immigrants in a Booming Economy: Analysing Their Earnings and Welfare Dependence
Ireland's exceptional economic growth in recent years has led to an influx of immigrants. Given the favourable economic climate into which these immigrants are arriving, it is interesting to ask how their earnings and welfare dependence compare with the native population. Using data from a nationally representative sample drawn in 2004 immigrants are found to earn 18 per cent less than natives, controlling for education and years of work experience. However, this single figure hides differences across immigrants from English-speaking and non-English-speaking countries. On average, immigrants are half as likely to have been in receipt of social welfare payments in the previous 12 months relative to natives. Copyright 2007 The Authors.

AAARRGGH my Downtube is dead!
Cycling home from work this morning the frame split in two at the seat tube, sending my handlebars one way and the seat post the other, no bruises but my downtube days are over boo hoo.
Its been my everyday commuter and i've cycled from north london to brighton and taken it folded in the car on holiday several times. i will miss it greatly.
just wanted to say a big thanks for all the advice and ideas gleaned from this forum. i've needed to refer to this site several times as parts wore out and problems arose.
oh dear, now i'll have to buy something to stick all the parts on.
thanks again
Holy smokes! That sounds scary! Glad you're not hurt.
It's quite distressing to hear that the frame split, though :eek:.
Can you post a pic' of the broken bike please, as it'd be interesting to know what to look out for?
How long did you have it for?
+1 pics please. Is there a guarantee on it?
2 Attachment(s)
Attachment 59144
Attachment 59145
the bike is outside the 1 year warrenty supplied by downtube.
For some reason i'm very calm about the loss. Its roughly 1 and a half years old and i would have expected it to last longer but i bought it as a cheap introduction to city cycling and now i know i need more.
The frame is going in a skip but i'm going to keep the parts in case a project comes along. it wasn't that long ago i had to replace the fork and headset.
thanks for the concern voiced above, thinking about it, it could have been worse.
Did it break where the seat post ended?
Wow, a 1 year warranty on the frame is pretty crappy. Even Dahon has a 5 year warranty that gets extended to lifetime if you get a shop to do a look-over at purchase time.
Glad to hear that you're taking it well. Time for a Brompton?
Don't they only have a 30 day warranty for their ebay auctions too? Why such a short warranty if the product is so good?
Time for a Brompton?[/QUOTE]
funnily enough, i'm just about to move out of london to suffolk and was thinking of getting a smaller folder for the commute, so yep, maybe time for a brompton.
I'm also curious about how far the seatpost was mounted/inserted and if this has anything to do with the breakage.
the break point doesn't mark the position of the end of my seat post. in fact the seatpost ran through both parts of the seat tube keeping the frame together.
That's not to say that everyone should go drop two grand on a Bike Friday or a titanium Brompton. There's no point spending a lot of money on a bike that will last forever if you're just going to get a new one to better suit your more discerning tastes after a year or two. There's also no point spending a lot of money on a bike that's going to be abused (flying with a softcase, commuting in all weather, haphazardly locking outside, etc).
I bought my Downtube as a starter bike based on the recommendations of this forum that a bike can be a good primary mode of travel as opposed to simply a tool to enhance other modes of travel. However, enhancing other modes of travel was my primary objective and for that I splurged for a high quality bike like the Carryme (which actually wasn't much more expensive than my Downtube because it is, despite its quality, a much simpler bike).
Now that I've seen the difference that quality makes and I ride almost everywhere I'm ready to fill my newfound need with either a Bike Friday Tikit or a Pacific Reach Swivelhead. I still think my Downtube is a great bike. I couldn't have come to appreciate the usefulness of a larger folder without it and it will continue to be a great bike for flying with a soft case, commuting in all weather, haphazardly locking outside, experimental home mechanicing, etc. It is within this niche that the Downtube is a great bike and I don't think the short warranty detracts from it nor do I think that a more expensive bike with a better warranty (or a cheaper bike with a terrible ride) could better fill it.
In my opinion, the Downtube is the best first folder and the best beater folder. If that's not a good product then I don't know what is.
Just my 2c.
[/end rand]
barneybarney ... Glad that you are OK. Could have been catastrophic.
More generally, we should be careful to avoid over weighting a single event when making inferences about the entire product line. As regular forum members know, there have been some reports about failures on Dahon bikes; but my bet is that in large their bikes perform well and have a high reliability. Much of this, in my opinion, is due to earlier failures and the negative publicity that resulted. Similarly, we know that there are likely a few bad eggs in a long production run of Downtubes. Whether it is systematic problem, like apparently the Xootr Swift Folder frames suffered before an apparent redesign (I recall that there were failures around the top of the seat tube as well ... although the memory is fuzzy), remains to be seen.
That written, I agree that they are good bikes for the money. They can be excellent bikes with a serious component upgrade. My guess is that most production frames--whether from Dahon, Downtube, Xootr--are pretty robust.
Why not have it welded? That could be fixed for US$50; less if you shop around - repair will be STRONGER than the surrounding area too...
FWIW, I've watched "my guy" cut a Pepsi can in half and weld it back together...
Dahon (and others) have a decent frame warranty period. They correctly replace broken frames as an acceptable cost of their cheaper manufacturing methods. I'm still surprised Downtube only has a one-year warranty.
You know, this type of failure this really raises some questions. I know Yan is a professor and has way more schooling than I do, but when you look at that part of the frame, you can see where there is going to be a problem. Why doesn't the frame have some sort of gusseting there? Ideally, you'd want the rear triangle to meet the crosstube to reduce the moment and shearing load in the seat tube. I realize that this has to be balanced with support for the actual seat post, which gives us our problem, but this is something that _has_ to be addressed. It's not an acceptable issue.
When people get hurt, they generally don't get hurt the first time that a problem occurs. The first couple times a certain problem occurs, they get away with it and ignore it thinking to themselves, "Well, that could have been bad!". Well, that could have been bad. Now before the next guy has the same problem, get's pitched into traffic, and is run over a 'fix' needs to be in place.
As with the other bikes mentioned above, maybe their failures have more to do with their designs (which are done in the US) than anything else.
I've never heard of anyone repairing a cheap aluminium frame by welding. First it is difficult to do safely, and second, what's the point? Its just about the cheapest bike on the block. When it dies, it's dead, and it owes nobody anything, does it? Much better to buy another one.
The weld either weakened the metal by using too much heat, or left a space/nick which served as a stress concentrator and led to the failure.
If their tubes are failing outright, Downtube has a much bigger problem on their hands... And yes, if their aluminum was that bad, I'd blame them for it too.

Wyoming native and best selling author C.J. Box was in town Thursday for a book signing of his newest Joe Pickett novel "Stone Cold" and Sheridan Media's Judy Hagerott stopped by and brings us this story.
Walking through the back door of Sheridan Stationary, I was a bit surprised when I saw this long line of people waiting to get an autographed copy of C.J. Box's newest novel "Stone Cold."
Not many middle of the week events in Sheridan draw this kind of crowd. I mean, the line ran from the back of the store all the way out to Main Street.
Sheridan Stationary owner Robby Smith enjoys having book signings, but a book signing like this, well it helps business.
Now, I'll admit, I haven't read any of C.J.'s books, but looking at the size of this crowd, they got to be pretty good. But, I wasn't the only one that hasn't read any of his novels either. Jenna Ewing was there buying one for her husband.
Kids to put a damper on things sometimes.
Denice Rollins was standing in line for her autographed copy to give as a birthday present for her friend Rosie. She hasn't read any of C.J. Box's books either. But taking a look at the author, she just might change her mind.
Now, I didn't get a chance to talk with C.J. Looking at that line and the people looking back at me as if to say, "Just try it," there was no way I was going to interrupt for a few words with C.J. It might have been new material for his next book. By the looks of it, that crowd might have just taken me out front for a modern-day hangin' for slowing down the line.

On Wednesday we will take Bigbury Bay to Wetherby for the mares' bumper. She has improved over the summer but she hasn't been the easiest to train. It doesn't look a bad bumper but I would expect a much better performance than on her sole start last year, where she was well beaten at Uttoxeter.
Bells 'N' Banjos, who runs in the handicap hurdle at Fontwell, has done well physically over the summer. He ran a couple of nice races last year but I think he's probably improved. It's his first run this season so he's likely to come on for it but he's in good form at home and there are only five in it, so he's got to have a decent chance.
Newbury's three-day Hennessy meeting gets underway on Thursday and we could have a couple of runners.
Top Dancer will probably have another crack at the handicap chase he won two years ago and I'm very happy with him. He's been going well at home, where he has been schooled by my young amateur Ben Hicks, who will be riding him on Thursday. With Ben's claim he can race off a lower mark than when he run the race so he's got have a good chance.
I'm looking forward to getting going with point winner Fly Du Charmil who could make his debut for us in the bumper. He's a lovely big horse who should be at home on a big galloping track like Newbury, and he'll not mind the ground either. He's not the quickest but he probably wouldn't need to be to be honest. I'm not sure how good he is at this stage but I'm confident he'll be able to give a good account of himself if he does run.
On Friday we could run Extreme Appeal, a former David Wachman inmate. He's a big strong three-year-old who has schooled well but he wasn't very highly-rated on the Flat so might struggle if there is something above average in here. That said, I think he's improved since he came here and he does jump well.
The plan is to run Missed Approach in the Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle. He won three of his four starts back in 2014 although he's been off since, he's in really good form at home. He won't mind the ground, the step up in trip trip will help and he will likely have a light weight, which will help his cause. He could run well.
Ceann Sibheal probably won't be good enough in the novices' hurdle. He's on a learning curve at the moment but it's only down the road so we might as well get another run into him. At this stage there will be far better horses than him.
Away from Newbury, The Missus could head up to Doncaster for the bumper. A full-sister to Radjhani Express, she had two runs for Robert Waley-Cohen before coming to me, and her work has been good. She needs to go left handed and this doesn't look a great race so she could easily run well.
Saturday is a big day for everyone at Uplands and it will be a delight to have such a high-profile runner on Hennessy day. Suffice it to say, we are all very excited about seeing Cole Harden back on the track.
It wouldn't be the end of the world if he got beat, given he got beat in the race last year but still went on to win at Cheltenham, but he's as fit as he was when he won at Wetherby first-time out last year and he looks a million dollars. He worked this morning and will have one more piece of work before Saturday.
It wouldn't be a major problem if the forecast rain arrives on Friday as it will hopefully make the ground easier to get through. It would be fine if it was sloppy but tacky ground would be a concern.
As last year, I'm expecting it to be a small field, with Whisper an obvious danger, while I would also respect Thistlecrack but it's a big step up for a novice, tackling the likes of Cole, who can take him through the pain barrier.
We have another big chance at Newbury on Saturday in the shape of Aloomomo, who will run in the Sir Peter O'Sullevan Memorial Handicap Chase. He has won his last two races with considerable ease and is a highly promising and improving horse. He's been put up a stone since his Warwick win but I am sure he will still be very competitive and I'm quite excited about him. It looked like it was shaping up to be a competitive race but there are quite a few exposed runners in there and so it might not be the strongest of Class 3 handicaps.
The Nipper will also run in the bumper at Bangor that day. She won a bumper by 20 lengths at that track last year and she's done well over the summer. Her work has been very good and she has a great chance of winning again.
Hannah's Princess has been ready to go for a while but we've been waiting for some decent ground with her. She could run at Doncaster on Saturday if it's not too bad up there and she's in great form.
Hennessy hunch:
I'm a big fan of Smad Place, I thought he ran well in the race last year and I really liked his prep run Kempton. Alan King's horses are in good form and I would expect a big run from him.
You would have to be interested in Bobs Worth given how he won on debut and has an obvious chance at the weights but I just don't know if he's still in love with jumping fences.
All the best, Warren

Jack Warner must be basking in all the love and affection he is getting from the USA, Australia, and now, the UK whose 2018 bid is in serious jeopardy.
He looks like he is talking from both sides of his mouth after meeting with Gordon Brown yesterday. Three if you count Australia. Yes, his mouth has many sides.
"He said, and I agreed with him, that England has the best infrastructure to stage the tournament and that after a 52-year gap this is England's time."
Less than a week ago.
"The United States can count on the full support of CONCACAF, including Chuck Blazer, Rafael Salgueiro and myself," said CONCACAF president and FIFA vice president Jack Warner.
Two weeks ago.
"Australia created the best ever Olympics and demonstrated an ability to host and manage some of the biggest sporting events in the world with class, expertise and with a dedication to excellence. If there is a country that truly deserves to host the FIFA World Cup, then it is the island continent of Australia".
In the end it will be what you can do for Jack Warner. Andrew Jennings has done excellent work documenting Warner's long history of corruption.

Giorgio PantanoEnlarge Photo
On Monday, Italian open wheel driver Giorgio Pantano tweeted that he was on his way to Indianapolis. Immediately, the prognosticators wondered whether he was coming over to drive an Indy car, a sports car, or simply looking for a position for the 2013 racing season?
It turns out Pantano, who has raced with Chip Ganassi Racing in the past, will be substitute driver for the injured Charlie Kimball in this weekend's Honda Indy 200 at MId-Ohio Sports Car Course. Pantano takes over the driving chores in the No. 83 Novo Nordisk Dallara/Honda/Firestone Indy car as Kimball recovers from a fractured fifth metacarpal in his right hand, incurred during a test session at the Lexington, Ohio racetrack last week.
Pantano drove for Chip Ganssi Racing in 2005 at Sonoma and Watkins Glen. He has five total IZOD IndyCar Series starts in his career, with a best start of second and best result of fourth, both with Ganassi's team at Watkins Glen in 2005. Last year he drove for Dreyer & Reinbold Racing as a substitute driver for the injured Justin Wilson. Now 33 years old, Pantano began his career in karts at age eight and between 1993 and 1999 won eight titles. He's tested for several Formula One teams over the years and raced with Jordan Formula One Team early in 2004. Pantano won the 2008 GP2 championship.
"It's a tremendous opportunity to be rejoining Chip Ganassi Racing and the IZOD IndyCar Series this weekend at Mid-Ohio," Pantano said. "You never want to have something happen to another driver and I wish Charlie a quick recovery. Nonetheless, the opportunity is here and I am looking forward to working with the team again and making the best of it."
While Chip Ganassi Racing Teams' managing director Mike Hull is disappointed that Kimball's injury is keeping him out of the 12th round of this 15-race championship, he's even more disappointed because Kimball's performance "over the past few weeks has been impressive with increased momentum.
"Our expectation is that he will be back at full-strength quickly and we're fortunate to have Giorgio Pantano available at Mid-Ohio," Hull said. "To have a quality driver who has won the GP2 championship against the best and blends into the team concept is hard to find on short notice. We're extremely lucky to have Giorgio on-board."
Kimball is obviously disappointed he can't make the race this weekend. "I trust the medical professionals at INDYCAR and we're making sure I'm back to 100 percent for Sonoma," race No. 13 (GoPro Grand Prix of Sonoma) the final weekend of August. "I'll be there this weekend to help Giorgio and even though I won't be in the cockpit, I will do everything I can to drive the whole No. 83 car program forward for this season and the future."
The Chip Ganassi Racing Teams have won the last three IZOD IndyCar Series races held at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Scott Dixon won in 2009 and last year; Dario Franchitti won in 2010. Its drivers have made 35 starts in 18 races, with seven wins, two poles, 11 podiums and 20 top-five results on the 2.258-mile permanent road course.

What is maxillofacial surgery?
Maxillofacial surgery is a surgical subspecialty of medicine that diagnoses and treats defects, diseases and injuries to the hard and soft tissues of the mouth (oral) and jaws and face region (maxillofacial). These diseases, injuries or defects may interfere with the function or aesthetics of the oral and maxillofacial region.
This kind of surgery is performed by a maxillofacial surgeon. Such a surgeon is specialized in treating the entire craniomaxillofacial complex. This includes the anatomical area of the skull, face, mouth, and jaws as well as associated structures.
Depending on the location, maxillofacial surgeons may have training in general medicine, dentistry, and surgery. Training and qualification in medicine can be optionally undertaken. They may also undergo additional optional training for 1or 2 years in oral and maxillofacial surgery fellowship training. This fellowship can be in the following areas:
