http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/penne_primavera.htmlFrom EatingWell: May/June 2011
Penne tossed with spring vegetables, such as carrots, morel mushrooms, asparagus, peas and fava beans, along with loads of fresh herbs is a perfect example of Mario Batali's rustic approach to great-tasting Italian food. When both fava beans and morel mushrooms are in season, by all means use them in this recipe. But if you can't find either of those, substitute what looks best. Basic cremini mushrooms will work and frozen lima beans are a good option. Recipe adapted from Molto Gusto by Mario Batali and Mark Ladner (Ecco/HarperCollins Publishers, 2010).

Dr Driving 1.16
Dr. Driving…. Seems interesting right? Yes it's the game which can teach you how to drive and park the car. It allows us to show off our driving skills with different missions to accomplish. One has to accomplish the given mission to reach the next level. We can earn coins by showing off driving skills which can be used to repair the car or to buy a new car. It can be the best driving game with its amazing physics and cool graphics which can make you feel as if you are really driving a car.
Coming to the Dr. Driving game play we have all the buttons on the screen to steer, brake and accelerate. You have to swipe on the steering to steer and by touching the acceleration button the car moves you can slow down your speed by releasing it and if you are about to brake your speed you can touch the brake button. The gear button is given on the right side corner of the screen.
Dr. Driving by SUD. An upgrade of Dr. Parking, this is a very good game with great physics which lets you do one thing – drive! You get to complete missions in very realistically looking city scenes, earn money and then you can buy more expensive and fancy cars. The game is so good it can be used as an aid for car driving lessons but even the more experienced drivers among our testers loved this game. SUD tried and made a very good job in simulating real cars movements – from stops, to accelerations to turning to breaking.
It did have some very minor annoyances, such as forcing you to link your Google+ and Facebook accounts and the fact money is not so easy to come by so you have to put in a long time to earn enough to buy the better cars (just like in real life!) but still, our testers all loved this game.
Another small annoyance some of our more hard headed testers came up with was rear mirrors and side collisions. The game doesn't have either, so you can make any turns with impunity, which somehow diminishes from the game's fun, at least according to those testers.
What's good
1.Great driving game for aspiring drivers
2. Amazing Game Physics Which Makes driving experience very realistic
3. Controls of the game are amazing
4. Above all, it occupies not more than 6mb space with all that fun.
What's Lacking
1. Sometimes hangs a little in some devices if mobile data is switched on.
2. Adding More levels and better Graphic Work Can make Dr.Driving best in the class.
Final Word : Try it for its amazing game physics which can make you feel as if you are driving a car.
Now lets look at some screenshot of game interface. here are some screenshot images of Dr Driving :

I need to prevent some users from modifying current occurrence of recurring appointment. I've built scheduler_edit function but now adding new appointments is also disabled. How to distinguish between them? I've also tried using e.event.isNew() but it didn't work because event is new in both current occurrence and adding new appointment.

"He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father."
The inclusion of this statement as one of the 12 articles in the Apostles' Creed suggests the great importance of the Ascension. And the Solemnity of the Ascension is one of six great solemnities U.S. Catholics are obligated to observe. Yet specific reasons for its significance can be difficult to articulate. After all, we believe Jesus is God, so why be surprised that he would ascend into heaven?
When speaking to the Pharisee Nicodemus, Jesus said, "No one has gone up to heaven except the one who has come down from heaven, the Son of Man" (Jn 3:13). The Ascension is closely related to the reality of the Incarnation; it is, in fact, an essential act of the Incarnate One. "This final stage" — the Ascension — "stays closely linked to the first," states the Catechism of the Catholic Church, "to his descent from heaven in the Incarnation" (No. 661). When the Son became man, the relationship between God and humanity changed in ways that men could hardly begin to appreciate. The eternal Creator chose to become a creature, and in so doing established a new relationship with mankind as well as time and history.
Jesus is the bridge, the mediator, between God and man. He established what man desperately needed, but only God could provide what theologians call admirabile commercium , or "the wondrous exchange." In the words of St. Augustine, "God wanted to be the Son of Man, and he wanted men to be the sons of God."
This glorious exchange is the essence of the kingdom of God, which the risen Lord spoke about with his disciples so often prior to the Ascension. But this great promise of the Father, Jesus said, would not be realized until the disciples were "baptized with the Holy Spirit," the Lord and giver of life. The messianic kingdom would be inaugurated when the Son of man — who is forever Incarnate, fully man and fully God — was seated at the right hand of the Father.
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, in "Images of Hope: Meditations On Major Feasts" (Ignatius Press, $14.95), reflected profoundly on this fact: "Christ's Ascension is therefore not a spectacle for the disciples but an event into which they themselves are included. It is a sursum corda , a movement toward the above into which we are all called. It tells us that man can live toward the above, that he is capable of attaining heights. More: The altitude that alone is suited to the dimensions of being human is the altitude of God himself. Man can live at this height, and only from this height do we properly understand him. The image of man has been raised up, but we have the freedom to tear it down or to let ourselves be raised."
To be "raised up" is to be filled with the Holy Spirit, reborn as children of God, marked with the promise of heavenly glory. This is possible because the Father loved the world so much he established a plan of salvation. This is a reality because the Son became a man and joined divinity to humanity forever. This is a fact because the Holy Spirit, at baptism, regenerates the souls of men, making them sons of God by grace.
The Incarnation revealed that God could become flesh and dwell among men. The Ascension revealed that man could be divinized and dwell eternally with God (see Catechism, Nos. 1988, 2670).

At the beginning of June, Czechland went on the defensive. The incessant rain ceased to be merely a nuisance as the threat of major flooding became a very real possibility.
You'll understand that this was particularly worrying as despite being British, I don't own a pair of wellies. Or a canoe.
Like many other Prague residents, I spent several days glued to the news, crossing fingers and toes that the heavens would close. As we live only a short distance from the river, Czechman and I even had our bags packed ready for evacuation. Scary stuff.
As you will no doubt be aware, the rain did stop in time – for most of the Czech Republic at any rate. Prague did not suffer massive wholescale damage – in other words, a repeat of 2002.
In my life so far, I've never been within so much as even the vaguest reach (to my knowledge at least) of a natural disaster. It was a strange experience. Metro stations shut, parks closed, police tape everywhere. The vague feeling of helplessness.
Anyway, it did seem to me that the authorities were reasonably well-prepared this time. And Praguers can all breathe a collective sigh of relief that these hastly erected metal barriers you see in the picture above managed to keep billions of tons of cubic water at bay.
It was a close run thing though as you can see:
Back in 1938, Czechland – or Czechoslovakia as it was known at the time – was busy building a very different kind of defense system: a vast network of bunkers similar to the Maginot Line constructed in France along the German border.
As part of this year's summer holiday with the Village People (aka Czechman's parents), we visited Fortress Hanička in the Orlické Hory. Hanička isn't quite as photogenic as your average Czech fairytale castle but the tour of her underground passages did make for an interesting day trip. Here's what the old lady looks like from outside:
Thanks to the agreement made at Munich in 1938 by a certain Neville Chamberlain with Adolf Hitler, these fortifications were never put to the test. Instead they were simply handed over to the Nazis once they came to occupy the Sudetenland as agreed by the Western Powers.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Hanička didn't entirely go to waste though. The Germans used the main bunker for target practice so that they could see how difficult it would be to destroy the similar fortifications in France. Here you can see a wall that has been damaged by repeated shelling:
'Ironic' doesn't even begin to cover it.
Once the tour was over, we sat on the bit of grass you can see in the picture and ate sandwiches. I'd like to think that I looked at that wall and considered myself lucky to be in that particular spot in 2013 rather than in 1938 but I suspect that's just a retrospective gloss.
It is 75 years this September since the Germans annexed the Sudetenland.

The heirloom pumpkin of the New England settlers and Indians, several hundred years old. Golden fruit weigh about 20 lbs each. This is a truly old variety; can be used for pies; the traditional American pumpkin.
Pumpkin – Connecticut Field – Cucurbita pepo
Soil & Water: Pumpkins prefer loam or sandy soil high in organic matter to hold large amounts of moisture. The plants require heavy, even water for best development. Preferred soil pH is between 6.0-7.0.
Planting & Growing: Start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost or sow seed directly when soil temperature reaches 70F. To begin growing earlier, use mulching plastics and row covers to warm the soil. Place a board underneath the fruit to help prevent rotting. Howden is black-rot tolerant.
Harvesting & Storage: For immediate use, harvest when the skin loses its sheen. For storage, harvest pumpkins when fully mature. Cut the fruit from the vine, leaving 4″-6″ of stem. Cure for storage by setting in a warm, dry location for 1-2 weeks.

BULLETS, BROADS, BLACKMAIL & BOMBS >> Smells Like Hi-Karate
Welcome back, my friends, to the column that never ends. This time around, a trio of pulpy paperbacks you easily can find in a good used book store or an online search. I present two long-running series and a incredibly short run for a book so much in the '80s vein.
THE OMEGA TERROR – Okay, I've covered many a Nick Carter tale over at the By-Pass, so you might want to take a gander at THE OMEGA TERROR. In another of the neverending adventures of Nick Carter, Killmaster, we find our intrepid spy on a vacation in Madrid for like a minute. As Nick goes to his hotel room, he finds a very naked and very willing girl there. This, I think, is probably one of the only times in the whole series Nick does not have sex. Yes, you read that correctly: The man who never met a single girl he didn't bed passed on a freebie.
After he escorts the girl out of the room, he finds a "get out of Madrid or else" note in his bathroom. Nick meets up with his boss Hawk and is told he has to leave right away for Morocco to either kill or bring back a scientist by the name of Zeno, who is developing a deadly virus that can wipe out the world, and is in bed with the Chinese. Typical for any Nick Carter book, the enemies are either Communists, Chinese, Arabs or some other fanatical foreign race. Nick is instructed to meet up with a scientist who is a plant inside the compound. But, oh, no, once he arrives, he finds out his contact has been killed, but his daughter can help out.
No form from here on out; just typical Nick Carter, full of brutal violence and also a little sex. For those of you out there who have played the sneaking into the base segment of METAL GEAR SOLID for the original Playstation, imagine that in the desert and you pretty much have the rest of the book. Nick, of course, saves the day. What, did you think he would fail? For shame. There are some great segments in this little tale, but that's common for this type of guilty pleasure.
TARGET: MIKE SHAYNE – Another detective series with some great covers, especially the photo ones. I've got more than 20 books in Brett Halliday's Mike Shayne series, but TARGET: MIKE SHAYNE is the first I've ever read. We start out with a man named Clayton, getting out of prison after 13 years. He's met by a girl he can't place, but she sure knows him, having accompanied him on his last job when he got caught.
Miriam, the girl, tells Clayton of a job she has planned to rip off an illegal gambling ring. But all that's on Clayton's mind is to exact revenge on Mike Shayne, the man responsible for putting him away. So as the tale progresses, Mike's car gets sabotaged and kills a would-be car thief. There is only one witness: a visiting businessman by the name of Brumholtz. From what I can tell, Mike is not someone who takes this kind of thing lying down, but is forced to cooperate with the police. The novel alternates between the two sides of the stories to great effect.
I have to tread lightly, so not to give away the big surprise toward the end, but trust me, folks: It's a big one and it hits like a ton of bricks. I really enjoyed this one, but sadly, it was written by one of the ghostwriters, Robert Terrall. Halliday really did write a bunch of Mike Shayne mysteries from 1939 to 1958, but from then on, it was house authors all the way.
NINJA MASTER #1: VENGEANCE IS HIS – Oh, to go back to the heyday of bad '80s action TV, like THE A-TEAM and KNIGHT RIDER. Imagine those series in book form, with karate thrown in, and that's what the NINJA MASTER series is all about. While reading this, I actually kept a running set of notes, for the simple reason there is so much ridiculous stuff that happens in Wade Barker's 187 pages.
We are introduced to Brett Ashford and his family, including his lovely Japanese wife Kyoto. But that doesn't last long, because on page 13, his whole family is brutally killed by bikers on angel dust. The hunt is on for the gang, but once arrested, they're let go due to a technical loophole. Oh, did I forget to mention that while in college, Brett went to Japan where he met the head ninja? A year passes, during which time Brett liquidates all his assets and places the money under a new name, Brett Wallace. This all happens within the first 40 pages. This book is just crammed to the gills.
Brett has a plan of revenge laid out that would make Quentin Tarantino proud. Once he's buried all evidence of the killings, he flies to Tokyo to meet his former master Yamaguchi, who takes him to the city of Kanazawa, where Brett's ninja training takes nine years, but in book form, only takes one paragraph. Back to San Francisco, Ninja Brett vows to use his skills to benefit the less fortunate. He is pretty much a one-man A-TEAM now. Again, folks, I'm not making this up.
From here on out, we meet the rest of the series' regulars: Rhea, a Japanese women whose grandfather was a ninja, and Jeff Archer, another lonely karate expert. Let the typical '80s TV action begin: Brett goes to L.A. to clean up the neighborhood run by a brutal gang. They set Jeff Archer's grandmother on fire. Brett sets up home in a new apartment, meeting all sorts of people who come to help him out. I could go into graphic detail of what takes place, but I think you can pretty much figure it out, with Brett using his skills to kill the gang leaders and such. Then he quietly makes his getaway like Michael Landon in HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN.
Now there's a show that needed an action sequence every once in awhile. The only thing missing from this book is at the end, with Stephen J. Cannell writing at his typewriter, then pulling out a piece of paper that floats into a pile. Look, I liked this book for all its cheesiness, plain and simple. I have three others, so I might crack open another one if I have a few hours to kill.
Up next time: a tale about a rabbi, a "Priest," a pusher and probably a spy! –Bruce Grossman

I will admit to being a little excited about this week's Saturday Night Live. I've been a supporter of Jeremy Renner for almost a decade now. He came onto my radar via The It Factor, back when Bravo had reality shows that a) were vaguely grounded in reality and b) were still worth watching.
Anyway, I was curious to see what he going to do with the SNL stage, especially since he's not really known for comedy. Basically I was hoping for the best and bracing for the worst (which was actually a theme for me this week, maybe I'll explain in a future post.)
Let's dive right in.
But first, let's review our trusty ratings;
Phil Hartman – Comedic gold
Chris Farley – Definitely funny, but kinda messy
Norm MacDonald – Funny, but not for everyone
Kristen Wiig – So-so premise saved by performer.
Tim Meadows – Didn't hate it, didn't love it, dripping with adequatulence
Darrell Hammond – Funny, but overstayed it's welcome
Jim Breuer- Crowd pleaser, but a bit obvious
Robert Downey Jr – Brilliant performer, not a lot to work with
David Spade – Trying too hard
Janeane Garofalo – Weird weird, not weird funny
Booknotes – This was an interesting cold open. There really isn't much political going on this week other than that story, and the cold opens are traditionally political. I liked the stunned listeners. I liked Cecily Strong's reading. The idea that the biography was written like a romance novel wasn't the strongest, but it worked well enough. And creepy Fred Armisen was very funny. Plus I dug Steve Higgins getting his "Live From New York, it's Saturday Night."
Rating: Tim Meadows
Monologue – This was not a smooth monologue at all, which made it all the more entertaining and genuine for me. Renner didn't seem all that comfortable onstage and possibly with good reason; that piano mic fiasco was a pretty awesome live television moment. Honestly, I really liked that Renner could barely keep his composure during while on the piano.
I'd also like to note that this is the sixth monologue with a musical element this season. While I enjoyed this one, I'd really appreciate some variety in the monologues. How about an audience Q&A, we haven't had one of those in awhile.
Rating: Chris Farley, Norm MacDonald
Your Hometown – This was the realest fake ad ever. As someone who goes back to Tucson every couple of years, I can say that that ad pretty much encapsulates my experience while there. In fact my feelings about this ad waivered between "this is spot on hilarious" and "this is spot on how I'm going to be spending my Christmas vacation." "The deepest tv ever sold" had me weak.

The Californians – First off, they got rid of the SOAPnet intro? They aren't even trying to pretend like it's real? At first I was pretty much over this sketch. It's funny and hearing the variations of the Cali accent is cool, but there's not much meat to the sketch, ever. All of Fred's breaking in the sketch made it enjoyable this week, but I kind of hope they retire it.
Rating: Chris Farley
The Situation Room – So Cecily Strong gets to play both of the women in the Petraeus scandal? Nice. Sudekis' Wolf Blitzer was acceptable, but the sketch really did very little for me. I'm sure that there was a perfectly funny Elmo sketch that was scrapped for this one.
Rating: Robert Downey Jr
The Stand Off – I loved this. It was pretty funny. I enjoyed seeing how far they took it. Seeing them having fun ice skating was a nice touch. And I was even cool with Adam Levine's cameo (which will mean so much more in a minute.) Yeah, I liked this.
Rating: Norm MacDonald
Maroon 5 Performance #1 – I don't like this song. I don't care for the band having a uniform. I really didn't like this performance. I also totally don't like Adam Levine. I find him grating and annoying. Honestly I'm just grateful that he's not doing the host/musical guest thing. Though I will say that I could see him pulling double duty in two years if not next year. He's clearly being groomed for that.
Weekend Update – For me the line of the night was "The head of the CIA couldn't get away with it." I was surprised that there was no mention of Elmo, the week's other big scandal. I'm equally perplexed by Katt Williams. It seems weird to me that Katt would even be on SNL's radar, much less the audiences radar, yet Jay Pharoah gets an update segment? Also Chris Christie totally killed. He's another person I could see hosting the show in the near future.
The Avengers – Look, I'm all for bashing Marvel, but not like this. This sketch was just a wreck. And I get that Hulk is supposed to be huge, but did they need to use little people to force perspective? It just felt creepy.
Rating: David Spade
Death Intensity – At first I though Sudekis was supposed to be Vin Diesel, but then I changed my mind. But he was clearly poking fun at Vin Diesel. I liked how Dick Fuel had no grasp of the scene. Actually I liked everything about the character. I did feel it was kind of cheap having Renner play himself, but the sketch was funny, especially the bonding moment over Ray J.
Rating: Kristen Wiig
Maroon 5 Performance #2 – Again, I don't dig the trying for a uniform look. Again, I don't like the song. I don't know what to tell you; I don't dig Maroon 5.
Cool Drones – I really wanted to like this animated short. I really, really did. But the only thing that made me laugh was the overkill of the drone strike and that was mostly because of how long it went on, which was where the humor was.
Rating: David Spade
Body Identification – This was hilarious. I loved every part of this sketch. It was pure comedy. I liked Sudekis' frustration and Hader's enjoyment of everything. I really liked Hader hamming it up his hands and kudos to Killam's composure.
Rating: Phil Hartman
Final Thoughts – This was a pretty decent episode especially considering everyone's been working for three weeks straight. Usually episodes before a break a weak and while this one had it's flaws (The Avengers) it also had some good bits too. There were three pre-taped segments, with Cool Drones and Your Hometown clearly being roll ins that could have been made months ago. All in all, it was an inoffensive episode thanks in part to lowered expectations.

Yahoo CEO Marissa Meyer wants all her employees to be on the same page as its customers and that is why she has decided to offer her staff free smartphones, Business Insider reports.
All Yahoo employees, both full-time and part time, will be provided with a choice of devices from the iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S III, HTC One X and the Nokia Lumia 920 as part of the company's "Smart Phones, Smart Fun" initiative.
The initiative will be implemented beginning with US employees and is later expected to roll out to 22 countries. Apart from offering new smartphones to employees, the company will also cover the monthly phone and data usage bills for them.
Apparently, the decision for the choice of devices came from the market penetration rates across the globe. With Google's Android and Apple's iOS operating systems currently powering the top smartphones in virtually all markets, it's a no brainer that employees will be offered an iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S III, HTC One X or an HTC EVO 4G LTE.
Here's a look at the internal memo that was circulated:
We have a very exciting update to share with you today - we are announcing Yahoo! Smart Phones, Smart Fun! As of today, Yahoo is moving off of blackberries as our corporate phones and on to smartphones in 22 countries. A few weeks ago, we said that we would look into smartphone penetration rates globally and take those rates into account when deciding on corporate phones. Ideally, we'd like our employees to have devices similar to our users, so we can think and work as the majority of our users do.
Moving forward, we'll offer you a choice of devices as well as provide monthly plans for the data and phone. The smartphone choices that we are including in the program are:
Apple iPhone 5
- Samsung Galaxy S III
- HTC One X
Windows Phone 8:
- Nokia Lumia 920
We're getting started right away and taking orders starting now.

A couple found a man inside their apartment posing as a maintenance worker when they returned home Monday afternoon to Baxter Commons apartments, 975 Baxter St., Athens-Clarke police said.
The man apparently stole a .380-caliber semiautomatic pistol, an iPod and cameras valued at $1,380, police said.
The man explained to the startled couple he was there to fix a leaky faucet, and after he left, the residents found out no one had ordered maintenance for their apartment and that they had been burglarized, according to police. The victims described the burglar as a white man in his 20s, about 5 feet, 10 inches tall, weighing 140 to 150 pounds and wearing a white work shirt and blue pants, police said.

The Master and the Padawan...
Oh that's a must see.
This is cool but the 'Master-Padawan' thing doesn't really apply. Marino was a force of nature but he wasn't the cerebral kinda QB that could teach someone else. Marino made throws and choices that would've been disastrous turnovers for any other QB trying to make those plays. You could look at a third of his completions on film breakdown and go "don't throw it there", yet it was a successful play for Danno.
Marino would be more like Annikin/Vader than Yoda. More powerful in the force than anyone else yet with 'meh' wisdom.
---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 PM ----------
I think the fact that Marino has never drifted towards coaching indicates that he's just not that into Xs and Os and probably never was.
The Sith Lord and the Young Moisture Farmer?
Tannehill's breathe smelling like Similac....:crazy:
Thanks Skape, bigtime watch this Sunday on the DVR.
sweet! Good looking out
I wish Cowher would of...since Tanny is mechanical and all
Cowher was a LB.....not a QB scout.
Cowher did some MAJOR backtracking last week from his earlier statements
Sunday Morning is one of the best shows on TV. Been watching it for as long as I can remember.
How is Dan interviewing anyone on this show? I guess he is after all a CBS reporter/announcer? I have never seen a show like this on Sunday Morning ever before.
What's that on 11 am on cbs?
nice! thanks for the heads up
Don't think that's what's happening here. The title of the OP is a little misleading. ( I am also a big fan of CBS Sunday morning
Sorry, I meant to say what ever the name of the Sunday morning football show is. Is there a news show called Sunday Morning or something?
Hard to say... I bet most of us sleep in right before the game or pre-game show ha
what did he say to backtrack ?
Oh man...i work Saturday nights...guess I'll get to sleep only 3 hours before Sunday football this weekend @_@
It's going to be on NFL Today, not Sunday Morning.
Same here, on 3rd tonight. 1030-7... So I'll get like 5ish hours
I'll be at work, hope someone can make a YouTube of it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I'm usually at church when when the Sunday morning shows are on. I usually get back just in time to catch the last half of pre-game. I'm north of Pittsburgh (about 90 mins) so I don't get to see the Phins much as it is. They should be on the local CBS affiliate today, though. Last week, our local CBS (KDKA) lost reception completely so I missed the game. The CBS affiliate out of Ohio carried the Browns/Patriots.
There is a good chance that the interview is coming on next.
I just saw it. very good.
Not much of a one on one shown, I was disappointed because would love to see QB to QB shootin it. But at least we finally got some analysis from CBS crew
Missed it
Is this online somewhere?
Bump..any one have a link to this?

[Organizer's Description:] Step into Cirque du Soleil's curious cabinet of an ambitious inventor where the visible becomes invisible, perspectives are transformed, and the world is literally turned upside down. In an alternate yet familiar past, in a place where wonders abound for those who trust their imagination, a Seeker discovers that in order to glimpse the marvels that lie just below the surface, we must first learn to close our eyes. In his larger-than-life curio cabinet, the Seeker is convinced that there exists a hidden, invisible world – a place where the craziest ideas and the grandest dreams lie waiting. A collection of otherworldly characters suddenly steps into his makeshift mechanical world. When the outlandish, benevolent characters turn his world upside down with a touch of poetry and humor in an attempt to ignite the Seeker's imagination, his curios jump to life one by one before his very eyes. Under the Big Top (The Grand Chapiteau) at Sam Houston Race Park. Family-friendly show but strollers are not permitted inside the tent. Tickets purchased for children must have an adult seated beside.Cirque du Soleil has fascinated us for decades. This time it's back with more, and its newest show, KURIOS — Cabinet of Curiosities, promises the same high-flying, death-defying acts that will leave everyone's jaws floor-bound. Dawn Wilson, assistant artistic director, says, "We are pushing it much higher, much more original, and we've added more theatrical surprises to the acrobatics. It is new, it is high-energy and it is not what they've seen before. From its opening act, I think the audience is already asking, 'How are they going to top that?' and we do. It only gets more unexpected and outstanding as the show goes on." 8 p.m. Thursdays and April 11-12, 18-19 and 26, and May 2-3, 9-10 and 17; 4:30 and 8 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays and May 4 (no matinee April 21 and May 6, 12 and 19); 1:30 and 5 p.m. Sundays.

Melbourne, FL (PressExposure) May 11, 2009 -- Blue Tangerine Solutions is hosting part four of an "Ask the Experts" 4-part series Webinar on case studies of successful homebuilders. This Webinar series will be on May 14, 2009 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time/12 noon Central. The event is intended for homebuilders and participation is free, but space is limited.
In this Webinar, Richard Elkman, President of Group Two Advertising, will discuss with Rachel Flint how the multi-faceted marketing campaign "Hailey Brownstone" was able to increase traffic sales for Hubbell Homes with the help of social media.
Rachel is the Director of Marketing for Hubbell Realty Company and its 20 divisions including Hubbell Homes, Hubbell Property Management, CB Richard Ellis/Hubbell Commercial, Hubbell Construction Services and Hubbell Retail Operations. Rachel was named to the Business Record's 40 Under 40 list in 2007.
"A year ago, we were having trouble creating interest in GreenWay", says Rachel Flint, Marketing. There's significant competition in the townhome category in Des Moines and GreenWay Crossing "wasn't even a blip" on the search term reports for Hubbell Homes' Web site".
While working with Group Two Advertising, Hubbell created a new type of marketing campaign utilizing social media, specifically targeted to young, first-time home buyers. As a result, site traffic went up 36 percent and four sales were credited to the unique marketing program.
This Webinar concludes the 4-part "Successful Homebuilder Interview Series." A full schedule of the Webinars can be found at BlueTangerineSolutions.com/Webinars and you can view the recorded Webinars from our online library.

This Pinot from Jamie Kutch comes from Bohan Ranch, the first modem vineyard planted on the Sonoma Coast in 1972. The 44 year old vines drive deep in to the Yorkville Laughlin soil to create more rustic style wines.
"The Kutch 2013 Pinot Noir Bohan Vineyard hits the palate with surprising depth, power and intensity, all pretty unusual for this part of the Sonoma Coast. The 2013 is a wine of pure verticality and primary flavors, so readers will have to be patient. This is Jamie Kutch's first Pinot from Bohan, a historic, dry-farmed parcel on the Sonoma Coast. The first two vintages suggest the Bohan is going to be a fairly structured, tannic Pinot. - 91 points" - Antonio Galloni

Holding our leaders accountable
As the lead author in 2013 of the Nonpartisan Redistricting Bill, Mandy led a state-wide listening session to address gerrymandering's corrosion of effective democracy. She has also been outspoken on the need to address campaign finance and protect every citizen's right to vote.
Mandy supported the successful Move to Amend referendum in Wausau, and advocates for civic education in all walks of life. She advocated against the dissolution of the Government Accountability Board, restricting access to Open Records, elimination of Civil Service, and political exemptions for John Doe investigations. Until we address these fundamental good government issues, we will continue to see legislators disregard the will of the people to serve their own special interests.

Dry & Tea
Dry & Tea is, conceptually, quite a rare thing. It is mixed in mode, a composite of two different 'salon' typologies that relate to tea and hair. From a modern business perspective, you could argue that it's right on the money: a local illustration of hybrid diversity and a willingness to do something different to distinguish oneself. Just to clear up any possible confusion, what's on offer at Dry & Tea's two stores, one in Newmarket and one at the City Works Depot, both in Auckland, is a variety of hair styling options alongside with a hospitality twist in the form of boutique teas, light refreshments and, more recently, thanks to the addition of a liquor license, some things that are a little more potent – cocktails and champagne.
Dry & Tea's owners are four in number. The business was set up by Nicole and John Kelly with Louise and Phil Pilkington. Collectively, the group's members describe themselves as having a "passion for service". In particular, says Nicole Kelly, they wanted to, "lift the bar on how clients spent time at retail".
"We have a diverse experience base amongst us," she says. "I've worked in international fashion and love all things beautiful, John has run retail chain stores globally, Louise has been a leader in the New Zealand hair industry, owning Servilles Ponsonby, and Phil has had extensive experience running salon operations and support with Servilles."
To deliver their new idea they got Cheshire Architects on board. The Newmarket store came first and now anchors Osborne Lane to York Street in Newmarket. The second salon is in a rebuilt-to-original-footprint council garage on the site of the City Works Depot. This second venue, says Nat Cheshire, has "some tooth, some history and some weight".
The selection of a site at City Works Depot set up an interesting tension. The salon's fire station-style doors mark a threshold where the industrial surroundings meet something unabashedly softer. The salon is an oasis of femininity abutted by three-and-a-half hectares of thin-skinned-steel-wrapped buildings and somewhere in the vicinity of 900 car parks. From an accessibility point of view alone, this particular spot offers more parking amenity than a trip to your local mall, while managing to be infinitely more interesting at the same time.
"At Dry & Tea in Newmarket we'd organised a very beautiful Second Nature garden," says Nat Cheshire. "But City Works was always meant to be a tougher, more urban proposition but, nonetheless, with no less delight in it. In summer, you can hit a big red button so the fire station glass door tracks up and along the ceiling. Then, all of a sudden, you're sitting at a beautiful marble counter top drinking bespoke tea or sipping champagne, perhaps you're having your hair styled, the sun's streaming in, and you're doing all of that for a few dollars. It's a very exciting and enticing offering."
There is little that is new in this world. Businesses of a similar, if not exact, ilk exist in the Land of the Free. Emily Priest, a spatial designer at Cheshire Architects, conducted some early research into the aesthetics of these American iterations and found that that, to her eye, they were not quite friendly enough.
"The first thing that cried out to me was that there was no warmth in what we saw, no real love in the tactility. You need to make the space clean and fresh but at the same time you have to make it feel inviting and comfortable. And you get a lot of that from light and colour."
With respect to design process, Priest says that creating a fictional character, akin to an ideal customer, can be a helpful barometer for creative decisions. "The way I shape some projects is through a type of muse, so we have this person that starts and creates the story, and then around that everything else is formed. We had two separate muses for these two spaces. For me, it makes it easier to make creative decisions when you can ask, 'what would that person want?'"
At Newmarket, the muse took the form of an elegant, Remuera "shopping mum"; at City Works Depot, with its warehouse surrounds, the client was pictured as a "city girl", who "doesn't have much time but wants some pampering".
Those initial decisions resulted in a design that is comprised of soft blonde timbers, pale marbles, orchids and little bits of brass. There are soft pinks and delicate "sea salt" greens, all of which is quite lovely, delicate, warm and fresh. The two stores, which share some material similarities, are not identical. The elegant cararra marble made the jump from project one to two, as did the super graphic floral artworks, from Paul Hartigan's 'Power Flower' series, which provide a soft floral lilt at the periphery of the eye.
"The two stores are quite different in feel," says Priest. "We decided to take some quite important design gestures that say, 'Okay, so this is Dry & Tea' – like the marble, the white shelving and the globe lights. And then as we got into the space we thought actually, Paul Hartigan works extremely well graphically at Dry & Tea in Newmarket, so we'll see if he's up for doing another one. We worked closely with him, and his work is on the ceiling at City Works – he's a great guy, a great creative, and really fascinating to work with."
Hartigans's prints provided a colour template for the spaces, influencing the furniture, for instance. At City Works, the styling chairs are a deep red, in Newmarket they are a lighter shade. There are also ottomans and cushions made up out of Hartigan's print, there is upholstery in a delicate green and dusky pinks that visually tie with the plywood cladding at City Works. The marble was chosen for its inherent beauty and its Old World nature, as was brass, which is, "so much warmer than chrome".
From issue to issue, it often seems we are singing from the same songbook when it comes to the success of developing precincts in Auckland. Britomart's successes are ongoing and well documented. The City Works Depot, likewise, appears to be making a very good fist of place-making rather than just making places.
It continues to attract vibrant and experimental businesses that are interested in surrounding themselves with the fabric of the old metal workshops. When it comes to experimental business models, I'd venture that few businesses at City Works outgun Dry & Tea.

Bezalel made the ephod of finely woven linen and embroidered it with gold and blue, purple, and scarlet thread. He made gold thread by hammering out thin sheets of gold and cutting it into fine strands. With great skill and care, he worked it into the fine linen with the blue, purple, and scarlet thread.
Lord, with great skill and care, you work that same golden thread into my life. Even yesterday, my best friend and I discovered that you had spoken the same thing to both of us. We had not discussed this before hand, yet you put it in both our minds. That is a sort of golden thread, but I believe there is another.
Gold stands for the glory and deity of Jesus. You are infusing my life with an understanding of your deity and glory. I get constant glimpses of your majesty which sustain me until I get to see you face to face and place my crown at your feet.
Lord, please continue to give me peeks at your majesty, glory and deity everyday. These give me reassurance that you are in control and everything will work out for my very best good, even if the process is painful. In Jesus' name, amen.

On the mid-day interlude between dinner and dessert, Christmas trees had been chosen and cut at Bay Gardener Frank Gouin's Upakrik Farm and hauled home in promise of a new season. Pie, persimmon pudding and chocolate-pecan-pumpkin cheesecake — from Rod 'n' Reel's recipe in Bay Weekly's November 11 Thanksgiving feast issue — were being digested....
Tips on giving thanks by giving to charity
If all the layered meanings of America's national feast day could be packed into a verb, to have seems to me the right one. We give thanks because we have, rather than have not. So it's no wonder that the great feast got its impetus in times when having not was such a real alternative that it might be only a step away.
Season's Bounty, this week's special supplement, will keep you busy into 2011
Your key to unlock the season of good will, good times and good eating is in your hand. Or upon your lap. Or waiting for you, like a present to be opened, in that special place you keep Bay Weekly.
The key is Season's Bounty, stuffed inside this week's paper. This annual special is our gift to you, delivered early to guide you through the long winter holiday season.
How I plan to rise to the occasion of another Thanksgiving
In the harried countdown to one Thanksgiving feast, my younger son dubbed me The Frenzied Cook. Sad to say, I deserve the name.
For a Veterans' Day conversation with Bill Burton
Other seasons, change sneaks into our lives so stealthily that we can forget it is the law of time. This time of year, change shakes its scepter — and the leaves fall from the trees.
Overnight, fall turns its back on summer and runs for winter. Frost wilts the petunias, and we scramble to shut windows and find winter coats, while just days ago, we wore short sleeves.
Where government is a friend, not the enemy
The year's political babble has the tenor of a neo-Freudian emergency room. Lots of people in obvious psychic pain are loudly blaming government — not mom or dad — for all that's wrong in the world.
On one, I ask you to be the judge
Your letters are the high point of my week. Of course praise is ice cream after dinner. Of that I had a full serving in W.R. Kraus' words from Edgewater:
We very much enjoy your paper. Since we moved here in 2004, it has helped us understand the area we live in; manage our garden; and find lots of fun things to do. It also has the added benefit of not making me want to jump off the roof after reading the news!

Other Noteworthy Performances: Jean Arthur (Mr. Smith Goes to Washington), Arletty (Le jour se lève), Ingrid Bergman (Intermezzo), Claudette Colbert (Midnight), Bette Davis (The Old Maid), Bette Davis (The Private Life of Elizabeth and Essex), Irene Dunne (Love Affair), Greta Garbo (Ninotchka), Judy Garland (The Wizard of Oz), Greer Garson (Goodbye Mr. Chips), Nora Gregor (La régle du jeu), Kakuko Mori (The Story of the Last Chrysanthemums), Ginger Rogers (Bachelor Mother), Barbara Stanwyck (Golden Boy)
Is this choice anything close to a surprise? Of any category of any year, this one is practically a given, not because Vivien Leigh's performance in Gone with the Wind has become cultishly unassailable, but because, quite simply, a great actress gave a great performance – possibly the best ever committed to film. It says something that Leigh is almost universally acknowledged as the best actress of 1939. There were several other magnificent turns by leading women that year, any one of whom could have taken the top spot any other year without Leigh in the running. Bette Davis gave two award worthy performances, first as a frustrated woman pining for the love of her daughter in The Old Maid, then as the Virgin Queen torn between duty and desire in The Private Life of Elizabeth and Essex. Ginger Rogers is equally deserving as a woman who, through completely innocent circumstances, finds herself saddled with a baby in the great comedy Bachelor Mother. Greer Garson is utterly charming in Goodbye Mr. Chips, Greta Garbo shows she could play comedy in Ninotchka, and, of course, Judy Garland lit up the screen in The Wizard of Oz.
No matter how much I admire any of these performances Vivien Leigh still overshadows them, a bit like a Mikhail Baryshnikov competing against a class of beginners. Leigh's interpretation of Scarlett O'Hara is perfect – she never hits a false note. We never see acting, we only see the character, as close to a real, living person to any actor could ever create for the screen.
Leigh mixes Scarlett's selfishness with her flirty charm creating a character accustomed to getting what she wants based on her looks, her coquettishness, her family name. She's never been challenged in any way, but the Civil War changes that, forcing her to dig deep and discover the resiliency and resourcefulness she never knew she had in her. But her arc isn't particularly revelatory; through all her trials she still emerges on the other side as essentially the same woman, just a heck of a lot stronger. Despite this, we still find ourselves connecting to and caring for the designing woman.
That is the genius of Leigh's performance. She plays Scarlett unsympathetically, but the charm she uses to butter up Ashley and Rhett spills over into the audience. We know she is manipulating these men but, in spite of this knowledge, she manipulates us as well. And she never learns to do without manipulation. Often writers and directors believe that a character arc means that their subject needs some kind of grand revelation, some major shift in her consciousness or perspective, some major lesson learned. Scarlett doesn't learn any lessons, she just learns new ways to get others to give her what she wants.
With the possible exception of Paulette Goddard, the other leading contenders for the part would have had difficulty articulating Scarlett's subtle shift from frivolous and vain to resilient and vain. With Joan Bennett or Tallulah Bankhead I have a feeling Scarlett would have gotten more and more unpleasant, her flirting grating and desperate and her toughness overshadowing her vulnerability, as we follow her through a large chunk of her life over four hours. Vivien Leigh found a way to retain a connection with the audience and make us care about her while recognizing her flaws.
I have never been a fan of Gone with the Wind as a movie. The second half is especially unfocused, both visually and narratively. But no one can fault Vivien Leigh for the shortcomings of the film. She understood Scarlett completely and, through every line reading and subtle gesture, translated her onto the screen flawlessly. This isn't just the best performance of 1939 (of any category), but one of, if not the, best of all time for which she richly deserved the Oscar.

A healthy Two Ten Footwear Foundation endowment will ensure every shoe person in crisis has a place to call for help.
Two Ten Footwear Foundation is the only philanthropy in the United States that focuses solely on supporting its own industry and workforce.
Since its humble, "pass-the-hat" beginnings during the Great Depression, Two Ten has continued its extraordinary mission to take care of our own; to help each other at times of crisis; and to bring together 250,000 footwear employees and their families for the common good.
Today, Two Ten Footwear Foundation is positioned to confidently move forward and help more footwear families than ever before. At the heart of our progress is Two Ten's Endowment Fund, which was $35M as of 12/31/15. The endowment provides a dedicated and critical source of operating revenue that strengthens our helping mission—approximately 30% of our annual budget.
"Our goal of the 75th Anniversary Campaign is simple-—raise substantial new funds for our endowment to ensure we have the resources to help thousands of shoepeople who are in trouble and need a helping hand." – BOBBY CAMPBELL, Campaign Co-Chair
Two Ten Footwear Foundation's Board of Directors launched The 75th Anniversary Campaign to raise a total of $8.5M in new endowment funds over a five-year period, ending January 2018. During the "quiet" phase of the appeal, Two Ten secured $6.5M toward our $8.5M goal.

People often associate flooding with properties built on the shoreline. The reality is many properties can suffer from flooding regardless of their proximity to the ocean and due to a variety of causes. CTR has compiled this resource section to help you navigate the often confusing and ever changing Flood insurance/mitigation landscape. Here you will find links to information and tools offered by various federal and state agencies and programs. You will also find some basic retrofitting tips that may help to reduce premium costs with some policies; along with tips on how to try to prevent flood damage.
Flood insurance is a requirement for many types of mortgages.
Federally funded flood insurance is available in cities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Connecticut's Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP) reports that "currently, all Connecticut municipalities participate in the NFIP." Many areas of Connecticut are located within a flood zone - whether low, moderate, or high risk depending on the area. Use FEMA's Flood Map Service Center to determine if your property is presently designated in a flood zone.
Excess coverage and alternative policy options may be available. There are limitations on coverage available through NFIP so you may wish to consider excess coverage policies. In addition, the CT Department of Insurance may have approved insurance policy options; but please be mindful that leaving NFIP may impact any grandfathering provision and other aspects of NFIP should you later decide you want to return to that policy.
Check your homeowner's insurance policy to see what, if anything, is covered if damage is directly or indirectly related to a flood. Personal property damage and water-related damage, including floods, may be exclusions or limitations in your homeowner's policy. Check with your insurance agent to determine what your homeowner's policy will or will not cover.
Flood insurance rates are always subject to change. Like any insurance policy, flood insurance rates and coverage are always subject to change. When Congress passed the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act in 2014, there were automatic rate increases built into existing NFIP policies. Be sure to review the provisions in the Act to see how those may affect your policy into the future.
Lower premium rates can be made possible by retrofitting the property. Retrofitting the property can potentially mitigate flood damage to the property, and therefore may lower premium rates. FEMA provides 6 different methods to retrofitting a home: elevation, wet floodproofing, dry floodproofing, relocation, building levees and floodwalls, and demolition. Researching the method best fit for your property is important because certain retrofits can be expensive and require maintenance. Check with your insurance provider to determine what steps, if any, may lower your premiums.
Check out the NFIP's website: floodsmart.gov
National Flood Insurance Program Help Centers
Floods are the most common natural disaster in the United States, causing billions of dollars of damage annually, and may lead to deaths. Flood Smart, the official site of the NFIP, reports that "from 2008 to 2012 the average flood claim amounted to nearly $42,000." For Connecticut in 2012, 5,411 claims were reported.
HUD Resources:
HUD's Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R) offers Disaster Response Toolkit (guidance on how to rehabilitate flooded homes, design & construction practices that promote moisture resistance & durability, preparedness for future disasters, and other relevant content) to aid in the recovery process. The reports in this Kit are available in print by calling the HUD USER Clearinghouse at (800) 245-2691, option 1 or can be downloaded for free from the Disaster Response Toolkit page.
FEMA provides Individual Assistance which "is financial or direct assistance to individuals and families whose property has been damaged or destroyed as a result of a federally-declared disaster, and whose losses are not covered by insurance." Individual assistance is restricted to federally-declared disasters and can be a lengthy process. Relief funds may be easier to obtain from funds that arise from individual storms. For more info go to disasterassistance.gov or call 1-800-621-3362. For help from storm Sandy, please visit Fema.gov/sandy.

NFTP Video Highlights Recent Changes
FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) has a video that "covers important NFIP changes including new Non-Residential categories, new guidance for determining a Primary Residence, revised rate tables for certain Post-FIRM buildings, and revised ICC rates. You'll also learn about modifications to the underwriting forms, Floodproofing Certificate, and the endorsement and cancellation refund rules. And finally, something that is not part of the November 1 program changes but also coming soon: a new FEMA Elevation Certificate incorporating a new building diagram." To view, click here.
Their site also includes important legislative bulletins and other instructional videos to assist in understanding flood insurance and NFIP.
Additional Resources:
More information, provided by: National Association of REALTORS Flood Insurance Toolkit
These resources are available for homeowners facing steep flood insurance rate increases. The links include information about the legislation, what homeowners can do to appeal new flood maps, and guidance from FEMA about grants and other mitigation programs available.
In anticipation of increasing flood insurance rates, FEMA identifies several options that may directly or indirectly result in flood insurance discounts to policyholders.
For more information, check out CTR's special Legal Alert regarding the changes to the NFIP.
Shore Up CT: www.shoreupct.org
Shore Up Connecticut is a state funded loan program with which property owners in certain areas can finance or refinance their property elevations. The program website, shoreupct.org, provides a form for property owners to learn more information about elevation or flood-proofing their homes. The site also lists loan terms, eligible properties, and links to a project application and program guidelines. This program was previously known as the Shoreline Resiliency Fund and is funded through the Housing Development Fund by the Connecticut Department of Housing. It has received an initial $3 million in funding. Electronic submissions and any questions can be submitted to email@example.com.

At the same time, a veteran truck driver warned that some companies still handed drivers "coffee jars full of drugs" when they gave them their pick-up and delivery schedules.
Sergeant Robert Taylor, officer-in-charge at Eucla, said police in the tiny township on the WA-South Australian border had already laid 19 drugs-related charges against truckies in the first six months of this year.
That compared with 20 charges for all of last year.
Of those 19 charges, Sergeant Taylor said 14 were for possession of amphetamines and five were for the unlawful possession of drugs such as Duramine - a prescription-only stimulant that is used in weight-loss treatment.
While many companies have moved to stamp out the use of drugs in the industry and are following government guidelines for fatigue management, industry sources say the problems are still widespread, especially among solo owner-drivers and small operators.
One experienced driver, who asked not to be named for fear of repercussions, said he knew of companies that still handed out drugs to drivers.
"Some companies still supply drugs in coffee jars when they hand out the work schedule," the driver said.
"You can get drugs at most of the big truck stops. In the eastern states there are people who just watch for the blue singlet and the shorts and they come up and offer you a line or whatever. Even if you don't want it you don't dob anyone in either, otherwise you can end up having your truck smashed up.
"It's a bit different in WA. They drive up to truck stops and operate out of cars but the deals are still being done. Sometimes you will see drivers coming in to a shop and picking up a straw, nothing else."
The driver said he knew of one case where a driver snorted what he thought was a stimulant but it turned out to be a caustic agent and burnt out his larynx.
Sergeant Taylor said he would support some form of random drugs testing on drivers but only under certain circumstances.
"Random testing might be feasible at some major centres but it's not something which should be used to punish the drivers. It should be aimed at cleaning up the industry," he said.
"We need to look at punishing the companies which impose unrealistic schedules on drivers."
Sergeant Taylor said police did not have a list, but knew from experience which companies were most likely to push their drivers to the point where they needed drugs to work.
"I've got a lot of empathy for the drivers. By far the most of them are good, honest, hard-working blokes," he said. "A lot of them took out loans based on the good times from 10 or 15 years ago. In the meantime their profits are falling and their costs are going up.
"I can only talk for the east-west drivers but the rail line has really taken a lot of their work."
A Department of Transport spokesman, Lance Poore, said the pressures were greater on east-west drivers because their cargo was often time-sensitive and couldn't be moved by rail.

Saturday School/ Credit Recovery Fees
In the past, although F.U.S.D. received no extra funds to do so, we have provided intersession to K-8 students who have failed classes. We provided this extra time and instruction to give students the opportunity to learn what they missed so they were not retained, For the past several years intersession instruction has been free of charge because it was the right thing to do educationally. Given the budgetary shortfall, our next best option is to now charge for intersession instruction. The cost of Saturday School for each student who attends will be $25 per credit recovery hour. Three things are certainly apparent: 1) There are possible retention implications if your child doesn't attend. 2) Because we are charging, we cannot require, but can only recommend that students attend. 3) We know this will be difficult for many of you who have children who need intersession.
DATES FOR SATURDAY SCHOOL ARE NOT SET UNTIL THE FOLLOWING QUARTER. Intersession and Saturday School are not the same program.
Intersession Breaks
Fall Intersession Oct. 3rd through 6th
Winter Intersession Dec. 19th through 22nd
Spring Intersession Mar. 13th through 16th
All Intersessions Instruction Days are Monday through Thursdays from 8:00 AM to Noon. Transportation will be provided. Speak to a member of Administration for further details.

I guess it's fair to say there are many things wrong with America but Martin Shkreli brings to light one of them in this interview
In case you don't know who this guy is, he is most recently known for paying $2 million to buy the Wu Tang Clan album
I can't say I know know much about this guy but from what I did know, I wasn't much of a fan. Saying that though, I was willing to hear his perspective in this interview. While it gave me more of an understanding if where he's coming from, the one statement that stood out for me the most was when he said
"In law, you can be prosecuted for not maximising profits" ……….wwhhhhhaaaaaattttttt!
Now he stated this to justify the fact that his pharmaceutical company increased the price of a drug to help with HIV from $18 to $750. In his mind, it makes perfect sense. Now I get it, there's no room for compassion in capitalism but is it me or is that not one of things wrong with America?
Yes everybody has to make a living but when you can actually celebrate and feel good about hiking up a medical product so high in price, there's got to be some sort of distortion in values somewhere.

Alessandro Pavoni
Brescian-born chef Alessandro Pavoni blasted into Sydney's dining scene in 2009 with his first restaurant venture, northern Italian gem Ormeggio at the Spit.
He brings with him a passion for food that developed at the age of 10 when he sampled a three kilogram stuffed hen his grandmother cooked. In a heroic feat, he managed to eat it all by himself. His mouth still waters when he thinks of it and experiences such as these helped inspire him to undertake training at the Art, Science and Technological Centre of Food in Brescia and the Caterina de Medici Hospitality School.
Alessandro began his career in Brescia, in Italy's north, working at Carlo Magno with the famous Iginio Massari and Giuseppe Maffioli. After working in various Michelin starred venues such as La Rotonde in France and the two Michelin-starred Villa Fiordaliso on Lake Garda, Alessandro broadened his culinary horizons working in Bermuda at the famous Restaurant Lido before moving to Sydney permanently in 2003. He assumed the role of Executive Chef at Park Hyatt 2005, managing a team of over 30 chefs before finally realising his dream of opening his own restaurant at the Spit, Mosman in 2009.
Ormeggio at the Spit was a most welcome addition to the North Shore dining scene and was quickly recognised as one of Sydney's premier waterside dining destinations. It was awarded a coveted Chef Hat in the Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide after only 9 months, had two Glasses awarded by Gourmet Traveller to its unique wine list, and is also listed in Gourmet Traveller's Top 100 and The Australian's Top 50 Australian restaurants. It maintains these accolades today with the addition of a second Chef Hat, which was awarded in 2012.
Contemporary flavours, techniques and textures are the focus at Ormeggio, with Alessandro exploring for himself the current Northern Italian offerings. Crave International Food Festival 2012 notes that Alessandro is "one of the few Australian chefs exploring the cutting-edge of contemporary Italian cuisine."
"The look and feel of Ormeggio is naturally nautical and coastal – with great quality produce and contemporary Italian flavours. We utilise a lot of local organic and biodynamic meats and vegetables and are constantly searching for quality and uniqueness. Given our striking location and dockside setting at D'Albora Marina, and the influence taken from the lakes region of Northern Italy, we also do a lot of beautiful seafood. Our aim is to provide a contemporary Italian dining experience in an exclusive Australian setting."
As well as this passion for modern and unique cuisine, Alessandro is passionate about safeguarding Italian culinary culture and is the Vice-President of CIRA, the Council of Italian Restaurants in Australia – a group of Sydney Italian restaurateurs proud of their heritage and committed to this cause (www.cira.com.au ). He is proud of his northern Italian traditions and loves to share his knowledge and experiences with his guests.
"I love to embrace traditional recipes that have been handed down through the families of my region, and in particular my grandmother, who was a tremendous cook."
Alessandro opened his second restaurant, a more informal venue on the prestigious dining Level 6 of Westfield Sydney, in August 2011 – Spiedo Restaurant & Bar. In 2013, in conjunction with his head chef and business partner, Fulvio Lancione, they took this restaurant in a more Roman direction as a nod to Fulvio's heritage, re- branding as Pizza Six. Alessandro continues his involvement solely as a business partner rather than Chef, reveling in the opportunity to oversee multiple businesses.
Pizza Six dishes up quality Roman style pizzas and pastas. Working closely with Roman head Chef and co-owner Fulvio Lancione they've created a fantastic Italian experience in the heart of the CBD. With a bar as well, Pizza Six is one for all walks of life, for all times of day.
Alessandro is an Ambassador for Heart Research Australia, http://www.heartresearch.com.au/our-ambassadors.html , whose work is, as he says, 'close to his heart'.
Alessandro lives on the northern beaches with his Australian wife, Anna. In his spare time he can be found long boarding on one of the many local beaches, cruising on his Harley or cooking up a storm in his backyard for friends and family.

Has intel forgot about the i3 2120k
is it possible that we will ever see a unlocked i3, possibly 3240k. They were thinking of a 2120k a while back but they ditched it. I personaly dont think it will affect sales of the other k series, just the lower end i5 + it will fill the gap in the budget area. what do you think
|My System Specs
|18 Oct 2012
It would affect sales of their higher end processors.
the i3 is already pretty competitive, and if it was overclocked it could exceed the performance of the locked i7s while being cheaper.
|My System Specs

funny enough ur User name is futuredreamz<-hahahaha.ok thx for the info, might the include and unlocked i3 in haswel?
|My System Specs
|18 Oct 2012
That I have no idea, but I'm still pretty sure Intel figures any unlocked i3 would cannibalize sales from some i5s and i7s.
|My System Specs
|18 Oct 2012
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
K series will always be exclusive to i5 and i7, it would make no sense financially for Intel to release a K version of the i3.
