This topic contains 2 replies, has 3 voices, and was last updated by wolvesinwinter 7 years, 6 months ago.
Anthony Bourdain's attitude often grates on my nerves. You're a tough guy and a wild man, I get it. But he is, so it's hard to fault him for it.
In his recent No Reservations ep on food obsessives he takes the egullet guy to task for busting out the camera to photograph the food when it comes out.
"It's like keeping a diary while you're having sex!"
If you've ever spent any time with a food blogger, you'll know the feeling. Each meal must be properly documented and filed away first. For these people, eating it and enjoying it is not enough. And you can see it in Bourdain's face, he's kind of peeved as well.
If course, he's also filming all this for a TV show. He has a crew, he never needs to bust out a camera himself, but it's all being documented. At the very least, he's a hypocrite; the truth of the matter is, food blogging obsessives are his progeny. He made them.
Love this! Love Tony! Love his books.
Guy can't eat hamburgers anymore but takes Tony to watch him eat one. Poor miserable schlep.
Too many boring bloggers. Blogging is the perfect realm for compulsive people. Not that all bloggers are compulsive types. I think the worst are narcissistic compulsives. Some of whom you see in this video. Everyone is a food critic now.
"I used to make $400,000 as a lawyer…" (Rolling my eyes…)
"Frustrated sexual impulses" LOL!
Thanks for posting this – it's classic.
I don't blog about food, but I appreciate a lot of people who do blog about it. I learn a lot.
I like to take pictures of things I made and ate. I take pictures of things I eat if
1) I visit a restaurant I have never been to. This is for memories of the experience.
2) I take pictures if I do a restaurant review.
3) I take pictures because maybe I could make something like what I ate.
I like eGullet. The people who are from Japan on that site have taught me a lot about Japanese cooking and foods/names that I have found very interesting and handy.

Stoudemire clarifies incident, says 'great chance' he'll play Sunday
GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Wearing a Nike shirt that read "Marked Man" and a bulky bandage covering his left hand, Amar'e Stoudemire tried clearing up what happened in the hallway on the way to the Knicks' locker room Monday in Miami.
Stoudemire said he felt "sad" and "bad for my teammates" that he can't play in Game 3 Thursday night against the Heat. But he didn't apologize to them or Knicks fans for jeopardizing his availability for the rest of the first-round playoff series with his show of frustration.
Stoudemire explained how he sliced open the side of his hand when he hit a glass-encased fire extinguisher after the 104-94 loss in Game 2. He said it had nothing to do with him taking only 16 shots the first two games, and didn't rule out a return in Game 4 on Sunday.
"I just walked by and hit the fire extinguisher," said Stoudemire, is averaging 13.5 points per game in the series. "The door is made of 85 percent metal and 2 percent glass, just a little strip of glass. I didn't try to hit the glass at all. I just walked by, swung my hand at the wall, hit the fire extinguisher and cut my hand.
"I was more frustrated by the fact that we were down 0-2. It wasn't as if I was really trying to take out the fire extinguisher door. I wanted to make some noise and let out some frustration. Unfortunately I cut my hand by accident. I'll be back soon."
The Knicks list Stoudemire as doubtful for Game 4 but he said there's "a great chance" he'll play Sunday. Stoudemire, who had a red therapy squeeze ball in his left hand, also said he would play after injuring his back March 24 and missed 13 straight games.
Stoudemire had surgery on his hand Tuesday. He did not reveal what the procedure was or how many stitches he received. The Knicks said Stoudemire will be reassessed in the coming days.
"I think there's a great chance I'll play Sunday, not totally sure yet," Stoudemire said. "It's not like I had a closed fist and just punched the glass or nothing like that.
"I didn't even realize I was cut at all until Josh Harrellson told me I was cut and I saw the cut. Unfortunately after the game when it's very passionate things happen. You don't expect to injure yourself or anything like that."
His teammates were in the gym preparing for Game 3 while Stoudemire addressed the media. He said he already spoke to them and they understood it was unintentional. Several players who were asked didn't say Stoudemire apologized.
"He feels bad about what happened," Carmelo Anthony said. "He understands what was at stake, the situation. The only thing I care about is him being healthy."
Coach Mike Woodson said Stoudemire was "apologetic," and the Knicks had to move on and focus on trying to get back in the series against Miami and winning their first playoff game since 2001. A loss Thursday night and the Knicks will set an NBA record with 13 consecutive postseason defeats. They currently are tied with the Memphis Grizzlies.
"I know that's dangling out there," Woodson said. "But I'm not even thinking about that. I'm thinking about Game 3, trying to get a game under our belt and see if we can force the action."
Although the Knicks went 14-5 without Stoudemire this season, they can't afford losing any more players.
Rookie guard Iman Shumpert had surgery Wednesday to repair a torn left ACL and lateral meniscus that he suffered in Game 1.
Stoudemire is a co-captain along with Anthony and has been criticized for not being a leader in this important time.
"I think the fans have a wrong perception of what actually happened," he said. "I can understand their frustrations. I'm frustrated myself as well for not being available for Game 3.
"Not trying to make light of the situation but it happens all the time. Some players kick over ice coolers, some players tip over a table, some players even hit a chair. My thing was to hit the wall, caught the fire extinguisher, sliced my hand. Bad timing, knowing it's the playoffs and how important it is for us to try and win every game. But I'll be back soon."

Makli, Pakistan (AFP) Aug 31, 2010
On a hillside in flood-ravaged southern Pakistan, a famous Sufi burial site is crowded with families -- their pilgrimage less about religious devotion than the simple matter of survival.
With night about to fall, tensions rise at the makeshift camp, where hunger and anger are feeding a growing sense of anarchy as the flood victims look down from the black hills on their water-logged villages.
Husain Mala, 25, from Sujawal, a city of 120,000 people about 50 kilometres (30 miles) away which has been lost for now to the floods, sits with a dozen other young men watching the traffic for signs of aid trucks bringing food.
For the month of Ramadan the hour before dusk, when the daily fast can be broken, is the most tense, as hunger pangs grow after a long day under a blazing sun.
Tens of thousands of peasants displaced by the floods have fled to the rocky hillsides, some camped in shade amid mausoleums of chiselled stone, others grazing their flocks between the graves of thousands of Islamic Sufi saints.
They wait for 7:00 pm to come when they can join their families for iftar, the meal that breaks the Ramadan fast, but only a few fleeing the floods in haste were able to come with food supplies and aid handouts are scarce.
"We save the food and money we have for our children so they can survive," said Gulam Qadir, in his 50s, sweat pooling around the band of his purple turban.
The bazaars in the nearby city of Thatta are empty, since the authorities ordered the evacuation of its 300,000 inhabitants at the weekend, exacerbating the food crisis.
An aid agency van stops in front of a small group of women and children begging for supplies -- a hand throws out a box filled with supplies and the vehicle sets off again immediately, escaping the dozens of people already starting to run down the hills in its direction.
Sometimes to prevent a fight erupting, charities en route to an official relief camp will hand over bags of flour, pulses, rice or sugar, though it is not enough for the starving young men who often try to cling to the trucks.
"They're treating us like animals. They just throw food boxes, without taking care of who gets it -- so people fight between each other -- or they don't give anything," said Husain.
"Two or three of our people have broken legs or arms from falling from the trucks," he said.
Despite the escalating tension, police said the situation was "under control" besides some "minor incidents".
But authorities say they are worried, and try to direct the displaced families to camps away from the floods that have wreaked most devastation in the southern province of Sindh where Makli lies.
"We've set up a relief camp for 40,000 people in Karachi, but no one turned up there yet," said Zulfiqar Mirza from the Sindh interior ministry, referring to the city that lies more than 100 kilometres from Makli.
"We guarantee that they will get all the assistance they need there."
That won't convince Babur Salangi, 31, also from Sujawal, who like many others said he thinks that "there is no support in the camps."
"I am grateful to the government because they saved our lives by sending trucks to take us," he said.
"But how can I celebrate iftar? Everything I have left is this," he said, pointing at the tatty green shirt covering his back.
earlier related report
Torrential monsoon rains triggered massive floods that have moved steadily from north to south over the past month, engulfing a fifth of the volatile country and affecting 17 million of Pakistan's 167 million people.
The floods have washed away huge swathes of the rich farmland on which the country's struggling economy depends.
"There is a triple threat unfolding as this crisis widens and deepens," World Food Programme chief Josette Sheeran said at a press conference with other United Nations officials in Islamabad, after visiting flooded areas.
"People have lost seeds, crops and their incomes, leaving them vulnerable to hunger, homelessness and desperation -- the situation is extremely critical," she said.
Anthony Lake, chief of the UN children's fund Unicef, said that the disaster had affected nearly 8.6 million children.
"In many ways it is a children's emergency," Lake said.
"There is also a potential second wave of death from waterborne diseases. This is likely to get much worse if we can't reach people with clean water, adequate nutrition, sanitation and vaccination," he said.
Meanwhile floodwaters swept towards two small southern towns as authorities managed finally to plug a breach in defences across the Indus river at nearby Thatta city.
Pakistani troops and city workers had been battling over the weekend to save Thatta, with most of the population of 300,000 fleeing the advancing waters.
"Thatta city has been declared safe after a breach in the river caused by floods at nearby Faqir Jo Goth village was fully plugged," senior city official Hadi Bakhsh Kalhoro told AFP.
But he said the fast-moving waters that left the low-lying town of Sujawal submerged on Sunday were now threatening the towns of Jati and Choohar Jamali, where official warnings have been issued to residents to evacuate.
"We are making efforts to save the two towns which have a combined population of more than 100,000," Kalhoro said.
Most people had already returned to Thatta, he said, on the western bank of the swollen Indus.
But inundated Sujawal was mostly empty on Tuesday, as water flowed down its streets and troops offloaded rubber boats from their vehicles to rescue the remaining few, an AFP reporter on the scene said.
Sindh government spokesman Jameel Soomro told AFP that 147 people had been killed in the province, mostly as a result of disease triggered by the floods, and most of them women and children.
Southern Sindh is the worst-affected province, with 19 of its 23 districts ravaged as floodwaters have swollen the raging Indus river to 40 times its usual volume.
One million people have been displaced over the past few days alone.
India on Tuesday offered another 20 million dollars in flood aid to Pakistan, boosting efforts to build goodwill between the estranged neighbours.
Pakistan's government has confirmed 1,645 people dead and 2,479 injured but officials warn that millions are at risk from food shortages and disease.

Hello to all my followers, it has been a while, it has been busy too. In the 5 months I have been away I have made so many new creations and talked with so many beautiful people that my job has only gotten better with time.
I truly think that this is the first time that I have ever earned a living and enjoyed every step of the way and not only that but it has gotten better each time.
I know that there is many of us out there that would love to just express ourselves through something. Something that was not there before and that you manage to make people happy with it.
I feel I have evolved in so many ways, and it is reflected in my creations. Some looking better, some just cuter, some just more mature.
I also feel so much more empowered when people decide to trust me with their ideas, and I am able to hear them say "Your creations are fantastic!!!"
I am no way comparing myself with all the Fondant Artist out there, my road is still long and I am happy to continue evolving on it for a while.
My pictures have evolved!!!
Don't they look yummier now?
Subtle differences and more smiley faces
Definitely more smiley faces

record floods and oldfart...
At least 10 are dead after sudden rains caused flooding in Mauritius's capital city of Port Louis on Saturday.
At least eight of the victims were in underground areas when the flood waters rose rapidly. Another died of a heart attack.
Meteorologists on the island said 152 millimeters (6 inches) of rain fell in less than an hour, 70 millimeters less than the average for the entire month of March.
BUENOS AIRES — Record flash floods in Argentina have killed at least 52 people this week, officials said on Wednesday, destroying thousands of homes and renewing tensions as politicians blamed one another for the high death toll.
Meanwhile at IA:
Great, and Tony Abbott, as part of repealing the price on carbon, has pledged to abolish the Climate Commission. Maybe he will move Canberra north into cyclone territory.
What else is there to do but move to a flood free zone, build a near as fireproof house as possible, install tanks for water, start a vegetable and fruit garden and then sit back and watch the show. Many people are slow learners; just look at the road fatality rate. The problem is that the intellectually competent and those with a sufficient sense of self to face reality are being held back from action by the stupid and the cowardly who will remain in denial until their house burns or floods or food shortages affect them directly. Oh, then of course there's the very wealthy who reckon they can always find safe refuge but this time around there really will be nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. And the band plays on.
" the stupid and the cowardly who will remain in denial until their house burns or floods or food shortages affect them directly"
Then they will blame the government for allowing it to happen through inaction and demand compensation. They will also be suffering convenient amnesia surrounding their viewpoints when listening to climate scientisits warning back all those years ago.
Why the resistance? if we go to zero emissions, the worst thing that will happen is, we will be breating clean air
Wouldn't it be great if the climate scientists are/were wrong – oldfart you're right "we will be breating clean air." What a dreadful 'prospect'?

odd weather in the old dart...
Britain's weather excelled itself last week. It produced an Easter Sunday that was the coldest on record in the UK. Temperatures stuck below zero in many regions; freezing conditions continued to disrupt transport; and experts warned of increasing threats to animals and birds already struggling to survive loss of habitat and climate change. The start of British Summer Time last Sunday night was marked in Braemar by temperatures that fell to -11C. For good measure, an unappetising April looks likely to follow this misery.
The persistence of the spring's grim weather is particularly striking for it comes after a series of other extreme meteorological events in recent years. Last winter, a severe drought triggered stern warnings by the Environment Agency that water rationing and hosepipe bans would soon have to be introduced – until several months of torrential rain produced widespread flooding.
More records?... Welcome to the planet of accelerating global warming, folks... As predicted by the GW computer models, Pommyland is going to be colder, wetter, drier in a global warming world... Weird, but it's happening now...
Meanwhile it the new dart — the country of the ten gallon hats:
Getting Serious About a Texas-Size Drought
By KATE GALBRAITH
AUSTIN, Tex.
SOMETHING odd happened here last week.
It rained.
But the relief, an answer to desperate prayers, is likely to be short-lived. The drought that has gripped much of Texas since the fall of 2010 shows few signs of abating soon. The latest forecasts say that parched West and South Texas will remain dry, and that the state is likely to see above-average temperatures this spring, increasing evaporation from already strained reservoirs. The conditions could lead to severe water restrictions in some parts of the state.
The implications have finally sunk in among lawmakers and business leaders here, who like to boast about the economic appeal of Texas's low taxes and relaxed regulatory environment: no water equals no business. In a state fabled for its everything-is-bigger mentality, the idea of conserving resources is beginning to take hold. They are even turning sewage into drinking water.
The overwhelmingly conservative and tightfisted Texas House of Representatives recently voted to create a fund to finance water development and conservation projects and is considering allocating $2 billion to jump-start it. The State Senate is weighing a similar measure. The state's water plan, released last year, recommends spending $57 billion (in 2013 dollars) over the next half-century to ensure there is enough water to go around; Texas's population of 26 million is expected to grow by 80 percent by 2060.
Texas is also suing neighboring states to get more water. The United States Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments in two weeks in one of these cases, in which the authority that supplies water to Fort Worth and fast-growing surrounding communities is demanding more water from Oklahoma. Texas has accused New Mexico of siphoning off more than its share of water from the Rio Grande. The state is likewise arguing that under an international agreement, it is entitled to more water from Mexico, which has also been stricken by drought.
Other desperately dry states in the Midwest and West are facing similar challenges. Drought has hurt farmers in New Mexico and reduced California's crucial mountain snowpack. Even the Great Lakes are at worryingly low levels. Drought conditions in the western half of the country are likely to persist at least through June, federal forecasters have warned. Over time, as the effects of climate change become more pronounced, hotter weather and longer dry spells will continue to threaten water supplies that are essential for development.
flying in the turbulence of global warming...
Flights across the North Atlantic could get a lot bumpier in the future if the climate changes as scientists expect.
Planes are already encountering stronger winds, and could now face more turbulence, according to research led from Reading University, UK.
The study, published in Nature Climate Change, suggests that by mid-century passengers will be bounced around more frequently and more strongly.
The zone in the North Atlantic affected by turbulence could also increase.
Reading's Dr Paul Williams said comfort was not the only consideration; there were financial consequences of bumpier airspace as well.
"It's certainly plausible that if flights get diverted more to fly around turbulence rather than through it then the amount of fuel that needs to be burnt will increase," he told BBC News.
Most high altitude commercial flight fly below or in jet streams... These can be hectic and turbulent, unlike the steady trade winds on the ground... Jet streams can have cyclonic wind speed in a straight line, as well as spin around themselves while moving. some jet streams travel up to 400 kilometres an hour, all flowing west to east. There are four major circumnavigating streams around the planet... Global warming of course impacts on the behaviour of jet streams, since these are mostly heat/cold motivated.

Everyone agrees – the real estate market is back. In a strong real estate market in Coastal Delaware with very low inventory, be prepared to take action if we say
"Wow, that's a great price for that home!"
Don't say "Ok, let me think about it and I'll get back to you." You are bound to be disappointed when you call back in a few days and say "What happened? I don't see that great house in Lewes listed anymore." It will be too late. It will be Under Contract to someone else.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Teen Missions International Inc, Merritt Island, FL, USA
I went on a Teen Missions team three summers in a row when I was 16-18 years of age. Teen Missions was life changing!! It is where God called me into full time Christian service...knowing that is what I would be doing with my life one day. Teen Missions is where I truly learned to start trusting God. From stories of boot camp, to working together as a team to get 100 pieces of luggage onto a train in a 3 minute time period, to seeing jobs accomplished at work sites or people coming to know Jesus, Teen Missions is a life changing time! I praise God that my parents allowed me to serve with TMI for 3 summers. My sister also went on a team. She was greatly impacted as well. Please know that TMI has changed so many lives for the good. A few other kids from the church I grew up at also chose to go after I had had such a great experience. God is good and truly works thorugh this amazing ministry!

NCUA 'Stiffed' Us in Discovery: S&P
The NCUA stood firm Tuesday in Los Angeles federal court, refusing to provide documents regarding what role credit union officers and NCUA examiners played in the failure of four corporates and one natural person credit union.
The documents were subpoenaed in a suit brought by the U.S. Government, not the NCUA, alleging ratings agency Standard & Poors' deliberately manipulated ratings on mortgage-backed securities to further its own financial interests in the years leading up to the financial meltdown.
Four failed corporates – U.S. Central Federal Credit Union, Western Corporate Federal Credit Union, Members United Corporate Federal Credit Union and Southwest Corporate Federal Credit Union – were included in the federal government's argument, ensnaring the NCUA as a third party in the suit. The failed Eastern Florida Financial Credit Union was also named as one of the government's 21 failed entities that S&P allegedly defrauded.
In its case, the U.S. Government claimed the five credit unions lost hundreds of millions of dollars as a result of S&P's alleged misrepresentations.
In a June 13 court order, U.S. District Judge David O. Carter wrote that S&P has repeatedly insisted that both the Government and third parties have "stiffed" it on its discovery requests.
S&P subpoenaed records from the NCUA in January and February of this year requesting documentation regarding its regulatory oversight of the credit unions as they purchased the securities.
Requested documents included reports, evaluations, assessments, studies, finding or analyses regarding the accuracy of ratings issued by agencies, investigations of any credit union for fraud, deceptive practices or mismanagement, and losses as a result of investments in residential mortgage backed securities or collateralized debt obligations.
Specifically, S&P said it is interested in documentation from the three corporates that were assigned full-time examiners that were required to be onsite on a monthly basis – U.S. Central, WesCorp and Southwest.
"In light of NCUA's oversight duties over five of S&P's alleged victims, documents in its possession are relevant," Carter wrote in the June 13 court order. "Several defenses pleaded by S&P, such as 'unclean hands,' raise the question of whether the victim institutions were at fault for their losses."
The NCUA's documents could also answer questions of causation, such as whether S&P's ratings were material to the credit unions' investment decisions.
Carter rejected the NCUA's argument that its regulations mandated that the credit unions could only purchase securities with certain credit ratings, and as a result, its supervision could not affect the force of the regulations. The judge reasoned that argument would only hold water if the regs stripped the credit unions of the ability to choose one security over another.
"Obviously, that is not the case," Carter wrote.
Carter also rejected the NCUA's argument that documents supporting its material loss reviews were irrelevant because they addressed only the general causes of the failures.
While the judge ruled against the NCUA's arguments of privilege, Carter stopped short of demanding the NCUA hand over the documents. Instead, he allowed the NCUA to file an additional motion if it can better argue its position that the documents are protected by deliberative process privilege.
NCUA attorneys were not immediately available to comment on when or if they would file an additional motion.
An S&P spokesman said the ratings agency is awaiting a written ruling from Carter from Tuesday's hearing regarding the release of documents supporting the NCUA's material loss reports, how the credit unions used ratings in their investment decisions and the credit unions' views of the mortgage market when the investments were purchased. An Aug. 19 hearing has also been scheduled to address additional discovery issues, the spokesman said.
Stuart Perlitsh, CEO of the $341 million Glendale Area Schools Federal Credit Union, led a lawsuit filed by seven credit unions in November 2009 that alleged negligence and breach of fiduciary duty by WesCorp management and volunteers that caused the corporate's failure.
The plaintiff credit unions agreed to allow the NCUA to take over as the plaintiff in the suit, which was eventually settled. Perlitsh said as part of the agreement between the credit unions and the NCUA, the original plaintiffs could not revive the suit if documents revealed now implicate WesCorp management or volunteers for the loss.
However, he added that should such information go public, it would provide some closure to the corporate crisis.
"S&P's lawyers here are bringing up our same complaint," Perlitsh said, referring to a motion filed that claims the corporates may have engaged in excessively risky investment strategies and were responsible to at least some extent for their losses.
"I think after sustaining a million dollar loss from our PIC account at WesCorp, additional transparency by the NCUA would provide some closure that we have not yet obtained."

Ricoh has come up with a fourth model in its CX range of larger-than-average compact cameras. The Ricoh CX4 is a 10Mp camera with a wideangle lens and a 10.7x (28 to 300mm) optical zoom. It is able to track subjects in a scene as well as to focus-lock on them. Lens shift image stabilisation helps ensure blur-free photos.
Both artistic and standard scene modes are offered. Perhaps the most unusual feature is a dedicated landscape mode for night shots. Here, up to four photos are taken in sequence and then stitched together on the camera to produce a composite image that adds depth of field and nuances of shade with low noise levels.
The Ricoh CX4 has a 3in LCD, can take 5 shots per second in burst mode and can capture 1280x720 video. It sports a slightly rounded design in contrast to the blocky lines of previous CX models.

LAS VEGAS — CEO panel tells ACUMA attendees that credit unions have broken through on mortgage lending.
LAS VEGAS — This year's conference focusing more on the marketing of housing finance programs and less on the nuts and bolts.
HMDA data suggests that credit unions continue to grow in the home finance market, the American Credit Union Mortgage Association says.
Executives from different parts of the credit union industry are hard at work to build credit unions' share of the U.S. mortgage market even higher than the record 8% that credit union's achieved in the first quarter of this year.
Getting to 8% of the U.S. mortgage market has been a long time in the making–a virtual overnight success after almost four decades of hard work by tens of thousands of truly special credit union staffers.
A CUSO that helps credit unions increase the number of purchase money mortgages has urged credit unions to consider housing finance less as the marketing of loan products and more as creating a leading sales channel.
After 11 years as a leading mortgage CUSO, Prime Alliance has been sold to become a subsidiary of Mortgage Cadence, a mortgage technology firm with a similar approach and some credit union clients. As a subsidiary of Mortgage Cadence, the firm will no longer remain a CUSO.
Prime Alliance sale ends 11 years as CUSO, adds capital to growth and upgrades. Find out more in this preview from next week's print edition.
For the first time ever, credit unions have originated more than 8% of U.S. mortgages originated in any given three month period, according to an analyst with Callahan and Associates.
Credit unions that want to remain competitive in housing finance over the next decade will likely have to confront the issue of how to add technology to their mortgage loan origination systems.

Mammoth panels specified at Monash University
As a modern university, Monash needed a product which excels at being both a thermal insulator and an acoustic treatment for recent work done on-campus. It also needed to be aesthetically pleasing with a seamless finish. Mammoth fitted the bill perfectly.
With recent trials at Monash University yielding great results, several of Victoria's largest tertiary education institutions have approached them regarding their upcoming projects. Mammoth panels are ideally suited to large indoor areas like libraries, study halls, and lecture theatres. The thermal performance of the panels leads to a reduced need for active heating and cooling while the acoustic benefits ensure sound transfer and reverberation are kept to a minimum – resulting in comfortable spaces that allow for clarity of thought and mind.
Composed of 100% lofted thermally bonded polyester fibres, Mammoth is the first polyester insulation on the market to be given an AS ISO 9705 fire rating. Because of its randomised-fibre construction, Mammoth panels have a far higher rigidity to density ratio than its competitors, ensuring less material is needed – leading to large savings in weight and costs. Panels are semi-rigid, allowing the panels to conform to irregularities common in concrete formwork. While Mammoth panels can be fixed with either glue or fasteners, Composite Global Solutions recommends using glue to ensure a seamless finish.
Composite Global Solutions supplies a range of insulation products including the THERMOMASS concrete sandwich panel and rigid foam board systems.Learn more

Championship Spotlight
Committed Addick
Charlton's Dale Stephens discusses life back in the Championship and his failed move to Aston Villa.
Last Updated: 27/05/13 11:07am
The 2012/13 campaign is about to enter the final straight, with promotion pushes and relegation battles now in full swing.
Here at Sky Sports, we continue to take you to the very heart of the Football League, with our Spotlight features intended to give you a greater insight into the clubs and players that keep us on the edge of our seats.
We are hoping to bring you the views and thoughts of a representative from each of the 72 teams over the course of the season, with those involved asked to give their take on the division they compete in, the club that pays their wages and those we should all be keeping an eye on.
Next in our hot seat is Charlton's Dale Stephens, with the Addicks star discussing their first campaign back in the Championship with Graeme Bailey and how he coped when a move to Aston Villa fell through.
This season appears to have been a tougher one for Charlton than some people imagined?
Not really, but I think with what Southampton did last season, and Norwich the year before, the pressure was there and expectancy because of what we did in League One, but unfortunately we did not start as well as we could have done - but recent form has been good and we have found our feet.
It is your first full year in the Championship, you have come a long way in a relatively short space of time?
It all started at Bury, I came through the youth ranks but at first I spent time on loan at Hyde and then Droylsden, and that was good for me - to play competitive football at a young age and that led to my debut at Bury.
So Oldham gave you the chance back in league football...
Yeah, it went relatively good and I look back at that time with fond memories. I spent time at Rochdale, and then was back at Oldham before suddenly I got a loan to Southampton.
The loan to Southampton was a bit of a shock deal wasn't it?
It was a big surprise, it was about April time I went there, and we weren't in any position to do anything, we weren't going up or in danger of being relegated, so nothing was going to happen so it was a good opportunity to play with some really good players and I got a lot of experience from that.
You did well at St Mary's and that surely contributed to your move to Charlton?
I played six out of the last 10 games for Southampton and did myself justice and I suppose that caught the interest and Charlton came in and that was good.
What is a big wrench moving to London?
I have never been before joining, just the odd away match, and it is a big culture shock - but I think I have (settled) well. It can take its toll, but I did well on the pitch so it sort of looked after itself and last year was almost a perfect season - we knew we wouldn't have a season like that again as everything went so well for us. We had been at the top of the league since October - then this season has come and obviously we knew it would be different.
Obviously before the season really got going, the Aston Villa interest emerged and suddenly you were in the headlines, how was that for you?
It shows how far I have come in a short space of time, I had only played a few Championship games when I heard about it - but it is just flattering to be linked with a big club and I just use it as a positive and it did not happen for one reason or another and I use it to my advantage to do well in this league. You do think what might have been, but for me it did not work out so you have to use that experience and continue to improve.
Was it a bit of a shock, suddenly that a Premier League club wanted you?
It was a surprise, it gave me a vote of confidence and I took confidence from it and hopefully I can become a better player. When I first had a phone call it was a Sunday, but then it all happened by the Friday so it happened so quickly - I could not get too excited as it was over so quickly.
The deal did not happen, was that hard to take?
If I moped about, at the end of the day only one person would suffer and that is me. It did not happen and I just have to take the positives and I will continue to use that. I hadn't really played at this level and our one aim was to prove we could play in the Championship and that looks like what we have done this year, so I am happy and just have to keep improving playing my football.

SEOUL, South Korea -- A technical glitch forced South Korea to abort liftoff of its first rocket into space Wednesday, delaying a launch that threatened to stoke tensions with North Korea even as Pyongyang joined in mourning a leader who pushed tirelessly for reconciliation.
The rival Koreas are eager to develop space programs, and had aimed to send satellites into space this year. In April, the North launched a three-stage rocket it claimed sent a communications satellite into orbit; some experts doubt the mission succeeded.
Washington, Tokyo and others called that launch a disguised test of long-range missile technology. The U.N. Security Council condemned the launch, saying it was a violation of resolutions banning North Korea from ballistic missile-related activity.
However, there have been recent signs of easing tensions -- the North freed two imprisoned American journalists when former President Bill Clinton came to Pyongyang and met with leader Kim Jong Il. Later, the North freed a South Korean technician and agreed to resume some joint tourism and industry projects with Seoul.
And on Wednesday, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson met with two North Korean diplomats. Richardson called the meeting a "hopeful sign" of improving relations.
Yet as South Korea geared up for its rocket launch, North Korea warned it would be "watching closely" for the international response to Seoul's launch.
"Their reaction and attitude toward South Korea's satellite launch will once again clearly prove whether the principle of equality exists or has collapsed," a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry told North Korea's official news agency.
South Korea's launch was called off less than eight minutes before the scheduled liftoff, senior Science Ministry official Lee Sang-mok said. The two-stage rocket, built with Russian help, would have been South Korea's first satellite launch from its own territory.
South Korean and Russian scientists were investigating the malfunction that halted the launch, and Russian scientists believed another attempt could occur within days, Lee said. He said a high-pressure tank that helps operate valves in the launch vehicle may have been the problem.
Despite the North's objections, U.S. and South Korean officials say the rocket launches cannot be compared, maintaining that South Korea has carried out the process transparently, and for peaceful purposes, while the North has not abided by its international commitments.
The Koreas remain in a state of war since their conflict ended in a truce in 1953. Relations have been tense since President Lee Myung-bak took office in Seoul in 2008, abandoning ex-President Kim Dae-jung's policy of encouraging reconciliation with aid.
North Korea put its army on alert this week as the U.S. and South Korea held military exercises in the South. Washington and Seoul say the computer-simulated war games are purely defensive. But North Korea's Foreign Ministry warned they were "aggravating" tensions on the Korean peninsula.
In the latest sign of a thaw, two diplomats from North Korea's U.N. mission met with Richardson, who twice went to North Korea in the 1990s to secure the release of Americans. Richardson declined to comment on the substance of the talks or say why North Korea requested the meeting.
Also this week, Kim Jong Il sent condolences to the family former President Kim Dae-jung, who died Tuesday at age 85 after a lifetime of fighting for democracy and reconciliation on the Korean peninsula. The two leaders met in a historic summit in 2000 -- the first between the Koreas.
"The feats he performed to achieve national reconciliation and realize the desire for reunification will remain long with the nation," North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency quoted Kim Jong Il as saying.
North Korean officials have conveyed their wish to send a delegation to pay their respects, according to lawmaker Park Jie-won, a former aide to Kim Dae-jung.
Pyongyang dispatched a condolence delegation only once before for a South Korean: the industrialist Chung Ju-yung, founder of the Hyundai Group, which funded the first inter-Korean joint projects.
The South Korean government was discussing whether to allow the North's delegation to visit, Unification Ministry spokeswoman Lee Jong-joo said.
Thousands lined up in Seoul to lay white chrysanthemums before a portrait of the dissident-turned-president, who won the Nobel Peace Prize for his reconciliation efforts.
"It feels as if my heart is being torn," Yang Young-sim, a 58-year-old housewife, said between sobs. "He is a man who has devoted his entire life to Korea's democracy."
North Koreans in Pyongyang also were mourning Kim, according to the Choson Sinbo, a Tokyo-based newspaper viewed as a mouthpiece for the North Korean government.

My glasses steamed up, but OK with me
Awkward, delicious time at Little Sheep
Ian Anderson 9:30 a.m., Nov. 23
(Page 2 of 8)
"She is a goer!" Alsten's daughter, Marilyn Terrian, agreed when I called and said I'd heard that her mother was thriving. Terrian joined us for our meeting, which took place five weeks before Alsten's big birthday.
Both women looked decades younger than their ages, and they had other things in common: well-coiffed silver hair, tasteful jewelry, attractive clothes. Terrian was plump and jolly and effusive, while her mother seemed more birdlike and unobtrusive. She'd been residing in Beaumont Village for just over two years.
Before that, the daughter explained, Alsten had lived in a little house in Sun City, Arizona. She'd been getting along fine there. "I really could have stayed by myself for another year or so," the older woman commented in a mild tone. She still felt competent driving; at 97 she had renewed her license for five more years. But Terrian had fretted that her mother shouldn't be so far from family members, so she persuaded her to move. "If I had left my home in Arizona, I would have cried my eyes out! But not her," Terrian said with admiration. "She just said, 'You have to adapt to new changes.' And she has. She absolutely loves it here. When I drop her off, she says, 'I feel like I'm going home.' "
"Yeah," Alsten concurred. "I got accustomed to it pretty quick. I like it."
I could understand why. Beaumont Village shatters the rest-home stereotypes of bleak corridors, bad smells, and drooling, demented dotards. It might be mistaken for an upscale college dorm, one with snug, inviting lounges. Alsten lives in the "independent living" section, in a cozy one-bedroom apartment equipped with its own kitchen, although she usually eats in the dining hall.
"Mother is very sociable," Terrian explained. But she's not the type to go up and start chatting with a stranger. Terrian is. "When I was moving her in here, this gal started heading for the room across the hall." Terrian introduced the two older women, "and they became very, very close friends." Alsten has since gotten to know many other residents.
The New England Centenarian Study researchers have come to believe that at least part of the secret of reaching 100 is having the right genes. One of the strongest pieces of evidence is that extreme longevity seems to cluster in certain families. But that hasn't been the case for Alsten. Her father was in his 80s when he died, and her mother didn't live past 68. Her only brother passed away at 82. Her other daughter died at 59. "I have no idea," Alsten responded when I asked why she thought she had lived as long as she had. But her daughter thought several factors exerted an influence.
For one thing, "We come from a family that just gets along great. You know how in some there's a lot of dissension and fighting? Well, we've always had a very calm family. And my kids absolutely adore my mother. So does my husband." Terrian also cited her mother's easygoing disposition.
"I had to be easygoing," Alsten interjected with a tiny smile. "I took care of my totally blind mother-in-law for 25 years. She lived with us."
"She had the patience of a saint, my father always said. 'What your mother did for me most people wouldn't do for their own mother,' " Terrian quoted him, adding, "Her outlook on life is great. Like, if she does get a pain, she says, 'I thank God I didn't get it 20 years ago.' Or she's always saying things could be worse..."
"You don't have to look very long either to see so many that are really bad off," Alsten said.
Terrian pointed out that her mother hadn't escaped firsthand experience with tragedy. One of her grandsons (Terrian's son) was murdered nine years ago while working at a branch of the Price Club. And, "Her first husband burned to death," Terrian disclosed.
"That was terrible to go through," Alsten acknowledged with a nod. "Years back, you laid up your cars in the winter. And he was off working on the car in the garage, and he had a little stove in there to keep warm. And he grabbed a can of gasoline instead of kerosene to light the stove."
"My sister was only four. The neighbors got her out," Terrian added. But Alsten's husband died of his injuries.
This happened in upper Michigan, where Alsten grew up. After the accident, a family acquaintance "befriended Mother and helped her, and then they ended up getting married." This man later became the head of the Teamsters union in the Upper Peninsula. With him Alsten conceived Terrian, who recalls that her mother was a storybook housewife. "She always got up early and did all her housework. Then about four o'clock, she'd put a new clean dress on. And of course they wore aprons in those days. She got dinner on. She sat and read the paper. And then she looked nice when my dad came home, and she had time for him at night. She had a little schedule."
Alsten was more than five years older than Arnold, her second husband, but she says she never could hide her age. "He always boasted about it," she says. "He thought he had everything planned out. He said, 'Okay, you're five years older than I am. Women live longer than men. So we'll probably both go about the same time.' "
Arnold retired at 57, and in 1968, the couple moved to San Diego County, where both daughters had settled. The senior Alstens lived in a trailer park in Santee for 16 years that were golden indeed, Alsten attests. She felt as good then as she had in her 20s. She and her husband traveled throughout the United States and even ventured on one trip into Mexico. For 23 years, they never missed spending their summers in Michigan. "We'd leave about the first of May and come back in October. And we had this little mobile home that was our place there, and we were all with old friends." When I asked Alsten what was her favorite time in her entire life, she cited this period, when she was in her 70s.

Travis Outlaw and Rudy Fernandez each had 11 points for Portland.
Foye had 11 for Minnesota, and Craig Smith added 10.
Notes:@ Blazers backup point guard Sergio Rodriguez had two points and five assists in 13 minutes, a day after going public with his unhappiness over playing time. Rodriguez averaged 9.4 minutes through the first five games. ... Love, the fifth overall pick in the draft, had two points and seven rebounds in his second career start. ... Injured center Greg Oden (foot) will join the Blazers on their five-game trip, but it hasn't been decided whether he will play in any of the games.

It seems like a week doesn't go by when there are great rallies or drops in gold, silver and the S&P 500 Index even though the news is opposite to what the underlying does. We've all seen great up moves when the headlines were horrible or the market tanked when the news seemed good. Well, welcome to crowd behavioral dynamics and investing!
I use Elliott Wave Theory combined with a few other indicators like sentiment gauges and Fibonacci relationships to forecast the coming bottom and top pivots in gold, silver, and the S&P 500 index in advance. I often ignore the day's headlines completely and rarely if ever use them to forecast the next movements in the precious metals or broad stock markets.
Let me give some examples of why you should learn to ignore economic indicators and headlines and focus on crowd behavioral patterns. Learning to scale in long when everyone is getting bearish and taking profits when everyone is universally bullish is much easier if you follow Elliott Wave Theory, and apply that theory correctly.
Gold recently had a major drop from $1557 to $1482 over a brief time period. When I last wrote publicly about gold several weeks ago, I presented a bullish and a bearish case. I had said gold must close over $1551, otherwise it may have a truncated top and correct hard. Gold soon hit $1557 intraday and could not get over $1551 on that close. Within days it collapsed and dropped below $1500. I knew this because crowd behavior patterns are repeated throughout the markets over and over again and again. Here is the original chart I sent out many weeks ago showing the possible drop.
Gold did end up dropping to the 20-week exponential moving average at the $1480 range. I noticed a clear "ABC" weekly pattern. Now this is an Elliott Wave pattern that can warn you of an imminent bottom in an underlying. In late June, after this major correction, I wrote up another chart and showed a potential bottom coming in gold around 1480. On July 5 I confirmed the bullish mood that gold was coming back, which you can see with the June 29th chart I did for my TMTF subscribers:
We were able to adjust our views from short term bearish to bullish and catch the big swing in gold. The precious metal rallied from $1480 ranges to $1610 recently, and now is likely to go through a minor correction to $1568 or so. All of this is the crowd pushing positions into overbought stages of hysteria, and back to oversold stages of pessimism. I simply track those patterns and try to forecast the next move ahead of the crowd running in or out.
Another sample is silver as represented by the iShares Silver Fund (NYSE: SLV[1]) as it collapsed from $49 down to $32-$33 per ounce not long ago. After the dust settled I told my subscriber we would likely see silver trade[2] in the $34-$41 range for quite a while, and then mount another attack towards $50. Right now I see silver soon running to $45-$47 per ounce once it takes a breath. Below is my original early June silver chart.
Silver has indeed consolidated as forecast for about seven weeks now between 34-41, having recently hit $40.80 and backed off. I expect silver to break out over this range soon and attack $60 by year end as possible, but certainly $46-$50 by the fall. Last Wednesday I finally went bullish again based on crowd patterns and told my subscribers to go long at $37 with a target of $46.
Finally we look at the S&P 500 Index using the S&P 500 Index Options (CBOE: SPX[3]) which I forecast on a regular basis as well using Elliott Wave Theory and other indicators. This past week or so we saw a huge drop in the S&P 500 supposedly on Italy concerns and Eurozone issues. These issues are used to explain what just happened in the stock market, but not to forecast it. Late last week I said I remained very bullish on the markets as long as the 1294/95 pivot holds. The S&P 500 hit 1295 and has since rallied 31 points in a few days catching everyone off guard. That is Crowd Behavior 101 if I ever saw it!
Understand that the precious metals and broader markets tend to move based on major swings in sentiment from optimistic to pessimistic. The collective psyche of the herd is the most important because we can have periods of very bad news where the market will rally, and periods of seemingly great news when the market is dropping. The perception of the news of the day and how the crowd decides to react is more important than the news itself!

- Horse Heaven Hills
Community Tasting Note
greenblanket wrote:
May 18, 2008 - This took awhile to fully develop and was at its best on day two. It offered up a lovely nose with red fruit, spice, floral notes and wonderful herbs with just a hint of sweet tobacco. Seemingly light when first opened this wine deepened considerably over two days ending up with current and boysenberry flavors riding on sweet fine tannin. This wine maker has a distinctive touch in making elegant almost feminine wines that make tremendous use of Washington State Cab Franc. Outstanding2,371 views

Hello i've installed Niresh's OSX 10.8.5 on my AMD PC, i used the included FX kernel... Everything went fine, customized and installed and now when i go to boot into OSX i get stuck at a black "stopping job" screen and it just seems to loop. I'm also certain it's a GPU error that does this, because when i delete the nvdagf100 (however they're spelt) kexts it allows me to boot but obviously then it doesn't auto detect my GTX 650 Ti BOOST.
On the other hand if i do not delete these kexts and i -x boot, everything goes fine and it auto detects my graphics card as a GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST which it is but it seems like hardware acceleration is off because in safari etc. all the pictures flicker and some pictures cause lag.
I've tried installing nVidia's web drivers and booting with that but i've still had no success, also tried tampering with EFI strings and editing the kexts.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks
If it helps here are my specs:
OS: Mac OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.5 (Niresh)
Mobo: Asus M5A97 R2.0
CPU: AMD FX-4170 Quad Core 4.20Ghz
GPU: nVidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost 2Gb
RAM: 2x 8Gb G.Skill Ripjaws 1333

Seven individuals who have given their time and talent to the community will be honored Feb. 19 at this year's sold-out Good Samaritan dinner, a yearly event sponsored by Catholic Charities of St. Augustine.
The event begins with a 6 p.m. cash bar, and dinner follows at 7 p.m. at the Casa Monica.
Honored this year will be individuals who range from businessmen to volunteers who help the less fortunate. They include:
Martin Broudy - St. Augustine.
Broudy is a St. Augustine native and owner of Broudy liquor stores. He is the current president of Congregation Sons of Israel and was largely responsible for bringing a full-time rabbi to St. Augustine eight years ago. As an active fund raiser, Broudy has helped many causes around town. He is a longtime member of the St. Augustine Shrine Club and provides an annual Kosher-style dinner benefiting Shriners' hospitals.
He is also a board member of the American Cancer Society local chapter and donates liquor for their fund-raising events. He most recently supported the Learn to Read/St. Augustine Preservation Society wine-tasting event.
Jim Brumley - Flagler Hospital.
Brumley is a member of Memorial Presbyterian Church, where he is an usher, a greeter, a member of the Communion Committee and the evangelism committee.Since moving to St. Augustine in 1993, Brumley has volunteered at Flagler Hospital. His assignment is to transport patients to and from X-ray or the surgical area. These tense patients are comforted by Jim's calming presence as he helps ease their concerns, those who nominated him suggest. He often can be found visiting friends and neighbors who are in the hospital.
Madeleine Corwin - Catholic Charities
Corwin has been a Catholic Charities volunteer for over 15 years. During that time she has worked as a front desk receptionist and moved to make the thrift shop a reality. The thrift shop brings in about $100 a week, which is placed back into the emergency assistance program.
Corwin also prepares thank you letters to all of Catholic Charity donors. Even though she is one of our honorees this year, she again helped decorate our Good Samaritan tables. In her "spare time" Corwin is an active member of Corpus Christi Church, the Knights of Columbus No. 611 Ladies Auxiliary and the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Guild where she visits nursing home residents weekly.
Fortunato Guerra (Mr. Foote) - St. Francis HouseFortunato is better known as Mr. Foote. He started 10 years ago as a volunteer for St. Francis House driving on back roads, delivering food and clothing to camps and farms around Hastings for the migrant program.He then added "chief gleaner" to his job description by making pick-ups at local grocery stores for extra produce, day-old bakery goods, eggs, milk and canned goods. This bounty was turned into noon meals at St. Francis House.
Oftentimes there was too much donated by the grocery stores, so Mr. Foote started delivering to other local agencies. Today, Mr. Foote is known for his smile and his help at St. Francis House, Trinity Chapel Ministries, Council on Aging, the Homeless Coalition's Treasure Chest, Association for Retarded Citizens, St. Johns Food Pantry, Catholic Charities and Salvation Army. He also is an avid gardener and donates his extra vegetables and herbs to St. Francis House. He demonstrates the important gospel value that when we share, there can be plenty.
Thomas Jackson - Fort Mose and Calvin Peete Park
As a founder of the Fort Mose Historical Society in 1996 and a recent president of the society, you often see Jackson wearing colonial garb as he portrays a soldier from Fort Mose. There he educates children and community about the first free black community in the United States. At the beginning of this century, Jackson revived the old tradition of celebrating Emancipation Day on Jan. 1. This is a day commemorating the Emancipation Proclamation. He is also working to restore St. Benedict the Moor School, which was established in 1898. He has manned a table at St. Benedict Church garage sale and hauled exhibits for Black History Month. Currently Jackson is in charge of Calvin Pete Park in West Augustine and runs the Loving Care nursing home with his wife, Barbara.
John and Eileen Leahy - St. Anastasia Church
John and Eileen are known in the community as a team. Together they have remodeled the St. Anastasia Church kitchen, where they cater luncheons, Lenten fish fries and Communion breakfasts. They are also very active fund raisers who work on the annual Irish concert and golf competition.John and Eileen can often be found cooking, cleaning, gardening, building, counting money and selling raffle tickets. While John and Eileen are often found at St. Anastasia Parish, John has also made a mission of getting Congress to give posthumous citizenship to young Irish immigrants who joined the U.S. military and died in war.
Ann Miller and Dean and Debbie Heaton as a family - Foster Parenting
Ann has been a foster parent for 32 years. During that time she raised her own family of six, adopted three children who were labeled "unadoptable" and loved and nurtured hundreds of children of all colors, ages, backgrounds, handicaps and needs. Ann currently has five foster care special needs children, four of whom are under two years of age.
Her daughter, Debbie, along with husband, Dean ,has carried on this way of life as second-generation foster parents. One of the hard parts of fostering is letting a child go when the time arrives for him to return to a relative or be placed for adoption.Dean describes foster parenting as getting a "child to learn to love and trust" and as a "job to get them ready." Debbie and Dean have two children, one by adoption, and are currently helping four foster care special needs children to "get ready."
Although they have lost count of the foster children they have helped, estimates for Ann are over a 1,000 children. Dean and Debbie have had 50-70 children in the 10 years for whom they have served as foster parents.

Iran Declares 'Impasse' in Nuclear Talks
An Iranian says 'the basis for another round of negotiations does not exist yet' after Tehran rejected demands from the world powers.
By Gabe Kahn 5/24/2012, 3:40 PM http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Ne...5#.T75iLevOXSg
Baghdad Nuclear Talks -Reuters
Iran on Thursday rejected the proposal from the P5+1 in talks over its controversial nuclear program.
Tehran and the P5+1 the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany were in the second day of talks in Baghdad seeking to resolve international concerns over Iran's nuclear program.
The P5+1 plan reportedly called on Iran to halt enrichment past 3.5%, ship its stores of 20% enriched uranium out of the country, and shut down its heavily fortified Fordow enrichment facility.
They had also called on Iran to live up to its obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and allow IAEA inspectors unrestricted access to its nuclear sites.
In exchange, the group offered benefits including medical isotopes, some nuclear safety cooperation, and spare parts for civilian airliners much needed by Iran.
Iran criticized the proposal from the six-nation group, saying it makes too many demands of Iran while offering too little in return. Namely, Iran has said the only way forward in talks is the easing of sanctions on its vital oil industry.
Western powers rebuffed Tehran's call for an immediate easing of economic sanctions, saying they will not give up their key lever in negotiations with the Islamic Republic.
In turn, Iran accused world powers Thursday of creating a difficult atmosphere with its demands.
Talks were scheduled to continue into late afternoon, but AFP quoted an Iranian official as saying the basis for another round of negotiations does not exist yet.
Several hours later Iranian officials confirmed talks would resume in three weeks time in Switzerland.
Of key international concern is Iran's secretive uranium enrichment program, especially its enrichment of uranium to 20 percent purity a key jumping off point for enrichment to 90% weapons grade material.
Iran says its enrichment work is meant for medical research and generating electricity.

The Met's live HD transmissions of opera put you right there. Never mind that the person next to you is chewing popcorn and the opera-goers are dressed in shorts. You are basking in the gold and glitter of the nation's opera, The Met.
It's out of the closet for me. For more than 30 years I've been writing about theater in these pages, but today, I'm confessing: I love the theater, but it's not my grand passion. Secretly, I've pined for grand opera, the grander the better.
My love of opera began in early childhood with my mother, who came to this country from Poland at the beginning of the last century. My mother spoke no English but she was fluent in Giuseppi Verdi's Italian, Georges Bizet's French and Richard Wagner's German.
She and I listened to The Metropolitan Opera's radio broadcasts on Saturday afternoons and later, we sang our hearts out, preparing dinner in the kitchen. Together, we stood outside The Met, waiting for the magic doors to open so that we could buy standing room tickets to see "Tosca" or "Aida." Hours later, I left The Met, transfixed, giddy with pleasure.
Time and distance ended my love affair with The Met when I came to live in Gainesville. And then, several months ago, I saw a tiny listing in the newspaper's Regal Cinema's movies grid: "The Metropolitan Opera, �The Daughter of the Regiment.' " In all honesty, I didn't expect much more than a glorified DVD with a sprinkling of people watching, but I went anyway. From the moment I walked into Regal's theater and saw the packed audience with not an empty seat to be had, I realized Gainesville is an opera town. Who knew?
The Met's live HD transmissions of opera put you right there. Never mind that the person next to you is chewing popcorn and the opera-goers are dressed in shorts. You are basking in the gold and glitter of the nation's opera, The Met. You are watching Natalie Dessay and Juan Diego Flores perform. You are applauding even though you know they are thousands of miles away and can't hear you. You are reveling in an art form given new life by the brilliantly theatrical general manager of The Met, Peter Gelb.
Gelb, who assumed the leadership of The Met in 2006, has brought excitement, passion and theatrical innovation to opera, not to mention those HD transmissions that now are seen in more than 800 cities throughout the country and in six continents. For Gelb, opera is not just about singing.
"The creators of opera always intended it to be a theatrical art form," he said. "The best singers bring a theatrical nuance to their performances." He conceded that not every great singer is a great actor. "Great emotions and acting ability are contained mostly in their voices, like Luciano Pavarotti."
The pianist, Vladimir Horowitz, was fond of explaining, particularly in his later years (when he missed a few notes) that a great performance is not a note-perfect one. (At one time, Gelb was Horowitz's manager.) "The same goes for singing," Gelb continued. "What moves the audience is an artist who can really deliver great emotional intensity and those high Cs."
In 2006, Gelb's debut at The Met became a show-biz, red carpet event. Puccini's "Madama Butterfly" (the same production that was shown here at the Regal Theater last week) was given a new production by the Oscar-winning director, Anthony Minghella. Hundreds of seats were set up in Lincoln Center's plaza and in Times Square. Celebrities like Goldie Hawn and Mikhail Baryshnikov walked the red carpet. The buzz around The Met had to do with the use of a Japanese Bunraku puppet, the stylized production and all the hoopla. With that grand, show-biz gesture, the era of Peter Gelb was launched and with it, live HD transmissions of The Met's operas.
Has it changed audiences? Are new productions received as well as the old favorites?
Replied Gelb: "The audience we're after is first of all the core opera audience, which has been aging and dwindling in recent years, and the theater audience, the larger theater audience, who we have successfully (I think) wooed back into the opera house and who are attending our HD transmissions."
New operas bring a greater challenge. "The recent HD transmission of John Adams' opera, �Dr. Atomic,' received a great reception by the public," Gelb said. "To be honest, the audience for �Madama Butterfly' in movie houses and in opera houses will always be greater than for a �Dr. Atomic.' But what is vital is to expand the repertory with new productions of new operas, or we will become stale."
I asked Gelb if he has a favorite opera to which he answered, "My favorite opera is an opera that is sung and directed brilliantly. Right now we are doing a production of �La Sonnambula' by Bellini, which is going to be one of our HD transmissions. It is directed by Mary Zimmerman and sung by the same wonderful stars you heard in �Daughter of the Regiment.' It is so exciting to see Mary Zimmerman at work with these great artists. So today, �La Sonnambula' is my favorite opera."
"La Sonnambula" will be shown in HD live transmission at the Regal Cinemas in Butler Plaza on Saturday at 1 p.m. Tickets are $15 to $22. The show tends to sell out, so it's a good idea to buy your tickets in advance.

In the spring of my 51st year, I find myself facing another Mother's Day without my mom. I wish I would have spent more time telling her how much she meant to me.
I'm writing this letter to all the people who disparage their spouse's mother. I suspect that most are young and can't yet appreciate the wisdom which comes from experience. As for my own mother, I don't think there was a woman in the world that would have been good enough for her baby, but after 15 years, she did learn to respect my decision and love my wife.
The cartoon on the Opinion page abut the Titanic (...what the captain was texting at the time...) was very mean and cruel and in very poor taste.
Capt. Edward J. Smith of the Titanic had gone to sea as an apprentice at the age of 12.
After getting his certificates, he signed on with the White Star Line at the age of 27.
He was much admired among professional circles for his seamanship.
Twenty minutes before midnight (April 14, 1912) Frederick Fleet grabbed the phone in the crow's nest and shouted "Iceberg ahead!"
Shame on the Roane County News for devoting one third of its editorial page to "A View from Lick Skillet," April 27.
I read Mr. Skillet for his down-home humor. This column, however, was such a blatant, vitriolic, diatribe against the LDS and Catholic Churches, I actually paused a minute to check and see if I were actually reading a county newspaper.
I thought, perhaps, I had picked up The Globe by mistake.
Wars are fought all over the world because of religious intolerance.
I am writing in regard to the proposal that a veterans hospital be located in the buildings vacated by Roane Medical Center in Harriman.
The city of Harriman should jump at the chance of a veterans hospital being located there.
The cost to the city of Harriman would be minimal compared to the advantages of hundreds of jobs being created, as well as thousands of veterans being helped.
As student members of Roane County's Environmental Review Board, we offer hearty congratulations to Rockwood Middle School in their receipt of a donation from Isotek Systems, a subsidiary of EnergySolutions, for implementing and sustaining a recycling program.
Rockwood Middle School developed a plan to remove paper, cans and plastic from the waste stream destined for the landfill in Dayton. These materials have a beneficial reuse and created a positive return to Roane County.
More than 40 years ago, I was lucky enough to land in East Tennessee. I soon learned that Tennessee is the Volunteer State. I liked that then, and I like it even more so now. Volunteers do things on principle, often at considerable inconvenience or risk.
A man much in the news who is not from Tennessee, but nevertheless has demonstrated moral courage over and over again is our president, Barack Obama.
You recently had an article titled "Famed Ariz. sheriff holds suspect for Roane." That sheriff's name is Joseph Arpaio.
If I come to Harriman for a visit and need to get a prescription filled at the drug store, what is the one main thing I'll need? Photo ID.
Wait, wait! If I'm elderly, minority, disabled or other couch-potato 99 percent, is this not discrimination?
If I want to buy Sudafed, get on a plane, do banking, see a doctor or even, gentle reader, get a library card what do I need? So what's the biggie-boo about having photo ID to vote?
The Rotary Club of Kingston would like to thank all the individuals and families who attended for their support.
Thanks also go to the following businesses and individuals who showed their support by purchasing table sponsorships and donating items:
