11 thoughts on "The Capricorn Man"
so true hrs on internet, and can't be with them all the time .they need space . dating a cap for 2yrs now and were getting closer and hving a better relationship knowning how a cap works. thks for info.
I fully agree with this. Have been with a Capricorn man now for 2 years. Must admit it took me time to comprehend the way he is and thinks. I am still learning. He is extremely patient and patience was foreign to me until our relationship went through tests and trials which we survived together because of his patience and determination. Today I have patience. He is really a loner and loves being at home. This helps me not worry or be suspicious of he's whereabouts. As long as I cook wholesome delicious meals for him, he is too happy. He lovez my cooking and that makes me happy. When we first met I thought he was a player cause I had no clue of his feelings, he hid them too well. He is also very good looking, so to protect myself from hurt I worked very hard to not allow myself to fall inlove with him. It ended up being a relationship with no emotion expresses but with two people who spent lots of time together cause they just couldn't keep away from each other. This went on for months, almost a year until we were both finally willing to accept, address, express the love we shared. We always have something that we are working on to improve and develop our relationship. The deep affection we share helps a great deal cause we are very different people, so it createz harmony and agreement between us. I love him so much and he loves me too, just the way I want to be loved. I think anyone who has the love of a Capricorn man is simply blessed.
love your comment! I'm at the beginning of phase with a cap man who is so silly and shy when we met. And then he hide himself after first date. But he text ed me all the way. I haven't seen him for a week coz he took a business trip to NYC. After he came back, he text ed me and being very nice like a gentlemen to every text that I sent to him. The only bother me now is I am not sure whether he just wanna be my friend or something else. I am waiting for him to ask me out so that we can know each other more, but I am very confused coz I am scorpio who really in need of patience… Need your great insight for cap man!!! Thank you@
yes ,so true.I am a typical cappy case,but really confused about my status,whether happy or unhappy.How do I make that out?
Oddly enough I'm a Capricorn and I was trying to get more information on astrology and stumbling upon this I can say alot of that is on the money. A lot of the other explanation I've found are TOTALLY different from me. I'm not sure if that has to do with the day I was born on(Dec 27th)or not but this was a very compelling read about my "Sane" Capricorn self lol Thanks for the info.
im a scorpio 11/14/1974 female, i met a cap man born 12/25/1971. his divorce is almost final from his 25 year relationship. we met and we both agreed it was special. we were together for 3 weeks, we were wonderful together and spoke about a future. his daughter was leaving the state to start college and his emotions are all over the place. he said thank u for being patient. he loves his daughter and his wife cheated on him. and hes trying to sell his house to get out of the memory. well the day he took his daughter to college he was emotional, and i havent heard from him since. that was 2 weeks ago. ive sent him 2 texts and told him to smile. and sent him a bible verse cause he would send me one in the mornings. he hasnt responded to either text. i told him i was afraid hed get back with his wife, and wanted to wait til it was final, could he be waiting til the beginning of the month when its final to call or should i move on? thanks anything ideas would help firstname.lastname@example.com
Capricorn females also consider some "arguments" flirtatious. I like to call it "banter" :)
I have been with my Cap for almost 2 years now – and Im stil so confused, lol. We have wonderful, loving weekends, and then I wont hear from him all during the week. I have insecurities from previous relationships, but know in my heart that he loves me and trust him – even though I nag him fo reassurance sometimes. We have had arguments before, but nothing too bad. I never know what he's thinking, which is one of the many reasons I love him:) Sometimes I feel that he's not interested in me anymore though. I dont know what else to do but give him space. I love him more than he will ever know and pray that he will propose one day to me. How do you know when Caps re still intereste and wanting to be with you? Or is it just remaining patient and let things happen?

Book Description:
This text helps veterinary and laboratory animal technicians understand the medications they dispense and how these medications may help or potentially harm animals. Students will first review the basic anatomy and physiology of the body systems, and then they will be introduced to the drugs that treat diseases of those systems. Students also learn how drugs are approved, who monitors drug safety, basic pharmacokinetics of drugs and routes of drug administration. After review of each body system, drugs used to treat diseases of that body system are presented in a clear and categorical way. The categorization of drugs helps students make correlations between the drugs they are dispensing or administering so that this material is more easily recalled in the clinical setting.

Brooks decided against self-naming his business for a number of reasons. "Most importantly, I thought the name needed to reflect the mission of the company and I thought about my exit strategy—I wanted a name that would develop brand value and equity, so in the end I wasn't just selling used furniture."
The first Diva Studio was located in a small space with old world décor that was almost Grecian in nature. "We started kicking around the name Godiva, because in mythology, she was a princess of beauty and because as a brand it goes straight to the top of the chocolate scale," explains Brooks. "We shortened it to Diva, but incorporated the image of Lady Godiva into our logo. Since then the word 'diva' has exploded and has become a state of mind or a lifestyle. Now our clients come to us to find their inner divas."
Naming your brand for yourself can help you build authority and a strong identity within your community, says Gadberry, but she also cautions that it can alienate your team and limit your future options.
"You do have to think about your exit strategy. Is someone else going to buy a business that carries your name? And should you decide to develop your own product line, naming it after yourself may limit your ability to sell it into other salons if that's your goal."
According to Heath, Eveline Charles' decision to use her name came about in part because of trademark issues. Before launching her namesake salon, Charles was a partner in a salon business named Bianconero. "Eveline and her partner were parting ways so she needed a new brand, but she also had discovered that there were some limitations using the Bianconero name if she wanted to grow her business into the states. But if you name your brand for yourself, you can use the name even if it conflicts with other brands," explains Heath. "Besides, she has a beautiful name that worked with our mission."
Are you authentic?
Be cautious of overselling or overpromising the benefits of your services and products. "There's been a certain degree of consumer cynicism brought on by brands that don't deliver on their promises," says Gadberry. "People make decisions to buy products based on brands that make them feel safe and secure, but consumers will shy away from anything that isn't authentic. That can spell disaster for a salon or spa."
Make sure that your services deliver on the promises of your menu. "For example, a destination spa may promote a sweatlodge service. The consumer may envision steaming in an authentic sweatlodge, only to discover that she's simply tented for the service," continues Gadberry.

MASCOUTAH, Ill. (AP) — The director of a southwestern Illinois airport that has never turned a profit since opening with great fanfare 16 years ago has gotten a pay raise as well as a bonus of more than $13,000, according to a newspaper report.
Tim Cantwell, who oversees MidAmerica St. Louis Airport near Mascoutah east of St. Louis, last year got a nearly 5 percent pay increase, pushing his yearly income to roughly $128,000, the Belleville News-Democrat reported (http://bit.ly/1jtH5qE) Wednesday.
Cantwell got his bonus in January for meeting unspecified goals, the newspaper said details it obtained through the Freedom of Information Act show.
St. Clair County owns the airport, with Cantwell managing 14 employees and the airport's $5.5 million budget.
MidAmerica has struggled since opening in 1998, and critics persistently have labeled it a $330 million boondoggle.
A message left Wednesday for Cantwell by The Associated Press was not immediately returned.
The county board's chairman, Democrat Mark Kern, defended Cantwell's salary jump and bonus, saying he is committed to his work and has been instrumental in luring a passenger airline and international cargo business to the airport.
Kern said the Illinois State Police and the Illinois National Guard have moved onto the airport, accounting for more than $9 million of infrastructure and 120 jobs.
"All of these things have since been achieved under (Cantwell's) leadership and guidance," Kern said.
But St. Clair County Board member Nick Miller — a Lebanon Republican long critical of Cantwell's performance — countered that Cantwell should be fired, given the airport's continued losses. MidAmerica has a projected deficit of $1.4 million this year, and audits show the county has subsidized airport operations more than $28.7 million in the past five years.
"Where else but St. Clair County and MidAmerica Airport can a guy get rewarded so well for failing so badly?" Miller said. "And for what? Making sure MidAmerica only loses $1.4 million this year instead of the multiple millions it's lost in years past under his watch?"

State media say China has safely carried out the world's first soft landing of a space probe on the moon in nearly four decades.
State television showed pictures of the moon's surface as the Chang'e 3 lander touched down Saturday evening.
The lander carries a moon rover called "Jade Rabbit" that will separate from the lander and embark on a three-month scientific exploration.
China is the third country to carry out a lunar soft landing after the United States and the former Soviet Union. The last one was in 1976.
China's ambitious space program is an enormous source of pride for the country. China plans to eventually land people on the moon.

No Joy at "JOY BISTRO" in Leslieville!
Hello All!
Yesterday I had a horrible restaurant experience at "Joy Restaurant" located on Queen St. E in Leslieville. I had planned to go to my favourite brunch spot "Pulp Kitchen" but it was so busy we decided to try something new...BIG MISTAKE!
Let me say for starters that the food was average, not horrible but not memorable. It was the service that was just pathetic.
We had a waiter that had the worst attitude I have ever seen. He sighed and rolled his eyes with every interaction with us, and I have to say we're very easy to please. When I made my order, an omelette with bruscetta filling ( which was ON the menu ) he simply said "NO!" in a very rude tone. He went on to say " I don't know why it's on the menu, I'll order salsa for you." And before I could argue he was gone. He also never brought us our coffee, and never returned to our table once during our meal which was served by someone else. He just stood by his computer, with his hands on his hips, looking around like he was irritated to be there. It also should be noted that the restaurant was not busy and he was responsible for about 4 tables.
At the end of our meal, he came by and filled my fiance's glass of water half full, and completely ignored mine. He didn't ask us if we were done, or if we wanted anything else he just took our plates, and later returned with our bill. As he placed the bill down on our table he sighed again and said an insincere "cheers" and walked away.
This was the first time that I have NEVER left a tip at a restaurant. We usually tip well for even average service. We will never return to "Joy Restaurant!"
Has anyone else tried "Joy Restaurant" and had this experience?
I ate at Joy Restaurant with my parents for brunch a few months ago. The place was packed. We had a female server, and she was extremely pleasant with us. My parents had just returned from a trip and couldn't stop talking about it, so the waitress had to come back to us a few times before they even looked at the menu to decide what to order. She was nothing but nice and accomodating, even with a full house.
Sorry to hear about your bad experience there.
I had a late lunch at Joy last week and found it to be a good experience. I found the food to be above par although not spectacular and the service was more than acceptable. The restaurant was busy although not packed and I will definitely go back.
I had brunch there on the long weekend, and the female server was very pleasant. Food wasn't spectacular, but Barrio was closed which is why we ended up at Joy.
re: deelicious
^ I agree.
Sounds like you had a really really bad experience, i've heard nothing but great things about Joy.
Ate there about a year ago.
Found food just O.K.
Definitely not a destination, but for a neighbourhood resto. O.K.
Sort of remember swirled coloured sauces with each plate, and wondered why?
We've had brunch at Joy a few times... although it normally gets great reviews elsewhere I find the food to be totally average. Haven't gone back in over a year, always seem to end up at one of the other (tastier) options in the area.
It could be staffing changes. The chef there, David Chrystian, left a couple months ago for Chez Victor, where, depending on whom you ask, he's either wowing or sucking.
It's good to know that this place is not always as bad as when I was there...however...what's done is done for me. I'm a stickler on service, and I cannot sympathize with the unprofessional server, no matter what kind of day he/she is having. How hard is it to be pleasant even if you're having a bad day? I know I have to fake pleasant sometimes at work, and I'm sure many of us do!
I can't wait to go back to "Pulp Kitchen!"
Had Brunch there a few months back - food was ok, nothing better than other options in the area. Service was typical indifferent Toronto style. The server spilled a plate on someone at the table next to us - she did not seem too distracted by it. No apologies or anything.
IMHO David Chrystian is mucho overated did not like his food at Patriot, the Drake and did not bring me JOY either!
Had dinner there about 3 weeks ago. We had pan fried pickerel and braised beef tongue. Both were good. Not spectacular, but nothing to complain about. Quite good actually.
Now for the bad parts:
Cranberry and Sprite was so watered down that it didn't even have any fizz or taste of cranberry. It was completely flat and actually tasted more like water with a splash of cranberry juice than anything else. Now how much do you have to water down cranberry and Sprite for it to taste like that? And why would you even water it down in the first place? We brought this to our waitress's attention but bizarrely got it back with exactly the same taste. It was as if they had some sort of prank going on.
Water glasses were never re-filled during the entire dinner.
One appetizer, scallops in a leek/bacon cream sauce actually turned out to be one medium sized scallop. ONE. If it was the most delicious scallop I'd ever eaten I'd be okay with the $12-$13 price tag. But $12-$13 for one medium-sized scallop that was good, but basically turned out to be nothing more complicated than a pan-seared scallop in a cream sauce with leeks and bacon is more than pretentious, it's a complete rip-off.
Re-arranging tables. I don't have a problem with this if it's to seat a party that's coming in, or to set things up to accomodate people who are coming in. But the staff re-arranged the entire middle of the restaurant just after we sat down, and by the time we left no customers had been seated at those tables and it really didn't look like anyone was going to be coming in for those tables either.
The waiters and waitresses kept on bumping into my chair, and me in fact. FIVE times. Not little bumps either and only once was there an apology. They couldn't see fit to take a different route or to move the table in behind me over to give themselves more room. No one was seated at the table in behind me for the duration either, so it's not as if they couldn't have made a little more room for themselves. But then again, it's not as if they couldn't have apologized.
The wait staff carried on their own conversation about dating, girls, boys, etc. in the dining room as if there were no customers in the restaurant. I don't expect them to be silent statues, but just because there are only 4-5 tables seated in the restaurant doesn't mean the staff should be carrying on their own conversation at the level of friends hanging out having a beer and a laugh in someone's backyard.
When we left, not a single person acknowledged us or thanked us. And that wasn't because they were in another corner of the room or didn't see us.
Although the food was decent, we felt the restaurant has a severe attitude problem. It definitely isn't "bistro friendly" and it doesn't offer bistro value. To top it all off, the wait staff are highly unprofessional and make the place quite a horror to eat in. One of the most unenjoyable restaurant experiences we've ever had. It's too bad, because the food itself is decent.
re: herbs go karts
We went twice and vowed to never return. The service was horrible and the food pretty bad also. Actually the first time we left after standing at the door for close to 10 minutes waiting to be seated. They had empty tables but the staff were 'too busy' polishing glasses, making coffee, to bother seating us! We were acknowledged by no less than 4 people, each saying ' we'll be right with you' before we decided to take our business elsewhere. The second time we actually stayed for brunch and wished we hadn't. Their gourmet grilled cheese was so bad - like 2 slices of wonder bread with generic cheddar cheese - not even melted!!! When we complained the manager agreed and said it was actually coming off the menu. Like that was supposed to make us feel better. The place is a joke.
It is possible to get both delicious food and great service at Joy. Unfortunately, the poor experiences documented in some of the postings here are not uncommon. The owner really seems to care, but the crapshoot continues on, and on, and on....
As I've said elsewhere, at many Toronto restaurants, including this one and others with much higher aspirations, inconsistency is the only consistency.

Any scene that bothered you or very difficult to express?
The scene we fell into the lake, why I said it's difficult.. We had been shooting for long hours, so everybody was very tired. Especially the water smelt badly, it's summer at that time, and there was a construction going on, it's a stagnant pool of water. There were dead fishes all over, and we went into the water like this. [cr:naicha cold]

The Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit sent shockwaves through the pharmaceutical industry with its decision in United States v. Caronia. Alfred Caronia was a pharmaceutical sales representative convicted of a misdemeanor conspiracy to introduce a misbranded drug. When promoting Xyrem, a prescription narcolepsy drug, Caronia made comments to a doctor about various uses of the drug that had not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The government did not contest at trial the truthfulness of the comments to the doctor. Though it was, and is, lawful and common for doctors to prescribe medication "off-label" – one estimate says more than 21% of all prescriptions are off-label – and for doctors to talk about off-label uses in various meetings and conferences, it was considered unlawful "misbranding" for pharmaceutical companies and their representatives to promote drugs for those uses.
The thrust of Caronia's appeal, supported by pharmaceutical industry amici curiae, was that criminalizing truthful speech about the completely legal off-label use of prescription drugs infringed on Caronia's First Amendment rights and actually hurt doctors and patients because those who were most informed about the drug – the manufacturers – could not discuss its beneficial uses or side effects without the threat of criminal prosecution. The Second Circuit agreed with Caronia and became the first court in the nation to hold that truthful and non-misleading off-label promotional speech is constitutionally protected under the First Amendment and, as a corollary, that off-label promotional speech would not constitute a criminal offense unless the speech was false or misleading.
Caronia is game-changing if it becomes prevailing law because, for decades, the prohibition on off-label speech shaped how pharmaceutical companies did business. Because making any promotional statement regarding the off-label use of a drug constituted, at the very least, a criminal misdemeanor offense, pharmaceutical companies spent millions of dollars annually on compliance and training programs to deter and detect off-label promotion by sales representatives. Companies spent billions more to settle allegations of off-label promotion with the government. One recent study showed that pharmaceutical companies paid $10.2 billion in civil and criminal fines between November 2010 and July 2012, mostly relating to off-label promotion allegations.
In addition to the very steep penalties for companies, individuals faced possible criminal liability for off-label speech. The threat of criminal prosecution was so powerful under the old regime because proving a misdemeanor crime was simple. Though a felony misbranding charge required that the statements be made with an "intent to defraud or mislead," the misdemeanor standard was satisfied simply by making a promotional statement – any such statement – about the off-label use of a drug, even if that statement was completely truthful and not misleading. At the broadest reach of the law, under the responsible corporate officer, or Park, doctrine, the government could prosecute individual executives for off-label speech made by others in their company, even when the executive did not participate in or know about the conduct. While in practice the government limited its use of the doctrine to cases in which the executive allegedly had actual knowledge of the speech, the threat of the Park doctrine has been a powerful tool for prosecutors.
In sharp contrast with prior law, the court in Caronia made clear that the government can no longer prohibit and criminalize "truthful off-label promotion of FDA-approved prescription drugs." This seemingly eliminates the distinction between misdemeanor and felony misbranding for pharmaceutical drugs: both now require proof that off-label promotional statements are either "false or misleading" or made with "an intent to defraud or mislead."
Following Caronia, legal challenges based on similar arguments are certain to arise in other circuits, and the Department of Justice will have to evaluate its position on future off-label prosecutions. Of course, the Department may seek and be granted rehearing, especially since the Caronia decision was accompanied by a vigorous dissent, and the Second Circuit's decision may ultimately be reviewed by the Supreme Court. Given Caronia's broad implications for criminal liability, future felony and even misdemeanor off-label cases will not be as straight-forward as they have been in the recent past.

Look! Rosemary Trees At Whole Foods
When my husband and I set foot inside our local Whole Foods this weekend it was crazy busy as you might expect before a holiday. We decided to divide and conquer our list and we each took half. When he returned he had arms full of the items I sent him off for and then... he also had a tree. A rosemary tree!
Technically speaking, rosemary was on his list of things to get and our local store had these rosemary trees up for grabs at just $9.99 (instead of $3-$4/box). Not really sure what I was going to do with an entire shrub in my kitchen, but excited at the price point we tossed it in the cart and brought it home. We've since named it Roger (because it just didn't seem like a Sally) and have been in love with the intoxicating smell it's given our dining room.
It's enough rosemary to take us through heavy handed flavorful dishes of the fall and right on past Thanksgiving. Since we've had it the last few days, it's even started to grow bigger, taller and we're assuming stronger. It's tag says it likes dry soil and light and we're totally down with a plant we can set in the sun and forget about for a week or two without having to re-water it.
If you're not using them for your own culinary adventures they would be a most amazing gift for a friend or family member who has you over for dinner or cocktails. Instead of something trivial, bring something that will not only fill their house with a great smell, but be able to be used over the next several months in their holiday cooking as well. For less than $10, it's a great find!
(PS, thanks for overlooking the extreme shadows our tall windows place on everything we photograph and also our scribbles on our dining room table. That's the bonus about having an extra large DIY table made from doors is that you can cover it with brown paper and take notes and doodle!)

I've never had any luck with rosemary trees, which I like to get as my "christmas tree" since I do all my celebrating at my parents' house. They all die within weeks despite my attempts to treat it properly. I have a giant rosemary bush that I don't mess with at all that thrives just fine in my backyard.
The Trader Joes in our area sell these every year, right around this time.
Rosemary trees are great, but if you want to do right by your tree after Christmas, don't plant it outside! You can keep it potted all year and bring it outdoors once the warm spring weather arrives.
Here are some tips to keep your tree healthy:
When I saw this, I immediately thought of a rosemary Christmas tree, too! I will be celebrating my first Christmas as an adult (just graduated college), and would rather not splurge for an artificial tree (I'm allergic to the real deal), especially since storage is an issue. This could be both festive and useful. Thank!
I would replant it in a bigger pot. then you can let it go a while without watering. otherwise, it will need watering at least once a week, likely more. you should notice the leaves drooping a little when it's thirsty.
Rosemary also roots very quickly, you can propagate a cutting easily in a pot of potting soil.
Thank you large hearted boy! I get long sprigs of Rosemary (at store or from cuttings,) put them in a glass of water for a day, prepare a clay pot with soil and wet it, dip the sprigs in rooting powder and stick them in the dirt. With minimal tending, (not too much water and a lot of sun, yes observe the leaves) they grow themselves into trees! Keep pruning and planting new sprigs and you will have Rosemary forever... they can be artfully bonsai'd as well, for small spaces!
Rosemary doesn't do particularly well inside. It's often too dry and they are prone to mites. Outside, they thrive like weeks. Last spring I planted a 2 sprig, 4 inch pot in my front yard and it is already a medium shrub.
I get one every year, but the tree succumbs to powdery mildew. How do I treat it?

This Victoria is not particularly Victorian, but then she is young; and everyone wants a piece of her, politically speaking. Emily Blunt is lovely and strong-minded as the Young Vic.
This may be the perfect shared entertainment for daughters just growing out of their princess phase and mothers with their own challenges balancing love and work.
The way this story is told is just basically by people reading letters in voiceover while you look at beautiful furniture.
I wonder: Was the director of The Young Victoria wearing a corset right alongside Emily Blunt? This is one tightly constricted period drama.
It's a muddled but plush experience overall, and if you're a royalist completist or a historical romantic, you'll probably have a decent time. As much as Blunt may have wanted the role, though, I'm not sure it suits her.
An intimate, small-scale story of a young woman's struggle to be independent of her scheming relations and to find equality in a very unequal marriage.
Talky and stately, but it has a degree of humanization making it far more enjoyable and relatable than others of its kind.
The Young Victoria is an attractive film. While many period pieces overwhelm with flashy production design in order to get attention, the stellar art direction found here is luscious yet never vulgarly so.
Ostvarenje koje istinsko zadovoljstvo mo%u017Ee pru%u017Eiti jedino publici koja se sastoji od najzagri%u017Eenijih rojalista
Blunt's performance, restrained and fiery, holds together the personal and the political threads of this handsomely mounted drama.
Consistently engaging, with an appealing sense of relevance for today's audiences.
A veddy proper film that wouldn't presume to misbehave with an ounce of unnecessary melodrama and abandon. We are amused and entertained but not terribly so.
Es el t�pico producto de calidad que se aprecia m�s que nada por sus valores de producci�n (y aqu� son realmente excepcionales) y por un elenco, en este caso brit�nico, donde se luce especialmente la estupenda Emily Blunt.
Rich in personal drama, political intrigue and royal pageantry but also satisfyingly compact.
This is Blunt's chance to follow in the footsteps of Gwenyth Paltrow, Anne Hathaway and Keira Knightley in becoming a leading lady in a period piece.
A passable depiction of what looks to be a rather unspectacular slice of history.
...worth seeing for Emily Blunt's radiant performance as Victoria and for the eye-popping recreations of life and ritual at the English court.
Plush, plodding stroll through the dowager queen's early years
A full package period romance, from the performances to the costumes to the lush setting and the rich score.
If Molly Ringwold had taken a shot at 'respectability' in a Merchant Ivory Oscar-bait film, this might have been the perfect screenplay.
"The Young Victoria" is a sumptuous character study that takes its time charting the transformation of a young girl born to rule into a queen ready to rule.
Audience Reviews for The Young Victoria

Director: Jean-Marc Vallee
Summary: Eighteen-year-old British royal Victoria (Emily Blunt) ascends to the throne and is romanced by future husband Prince Albert (Rupert Friend) in this lush period film that chronicles the early years of the British monarch's larger-than-life reign.
My Thoughts: "Whether the film is true to Queen Victoria's life is unknown to me. But I did enjoy the story none the less. It's a great romance story. I loved the scenery and the costumes. The acting was quite good by Emily Blunt. She is an actress who will go far because she can play anything. She was strong, vulnerable, feisty, and loving. I like her acting very much. There is a great supporting cast as well. I particularly liked when Prince Albert put Lord Melbourne in his place ever so politely. I found the relationships in this film to be more interesting then the political take it also had. Very well done film I am really starting to like period pieces. Well, when there this well made."

The Beast Keeps Cool
Seven Inch | Digital Download (JT1134)
Those who know Evan Patterson from the aggressive throb he deals as the front man of Louisville's Young Widows might be taken aback by his singer-songwriter alter ego Jaye Jayle. There is no cocksure swagger or the aggressive walls of guitar the band is known for anywhere on either side of this solo single. Instead, you get the A Side "The Beast Keeps Cool", a late night burner of a track that ties together the simple, synthetic swiggles and pulses of 60's electronic mavericks the Silver Apples with the straight ahead strum and bang of a Velvet Underground jam while the B Side "It's Jayle Time" comes off like the soundtrack to an unmade psychedelic spaghetti western where an outlaw with a heart of gold rides into town to settle a score and maybe score a little peyote. Jaye Jayle is a one way trip into the loner zone occupied by the likes of Neil Young, Fred Neil, Vernon Wray and many other introverted souls. Do yourself a favor and grab a ticket for the ride.

Oklahoma's number one blog for natural and cultural history.
For some, culture is an acquired taste – but not when it comes to food! TIME and National Geographic photographer Peter Menzel and his wife, Faith D'Alusio, have prepared a sampler plate of world culture with their photographic exhibit Hungry Planet: What the World Eats. The best part? We've saved you a seat!
Hungry Planet: What the World Eats
The Hungry Planet exhibit, sponsored by Love's Travel Stop & Country Stores, follows the lives of ten families as they produce, shop for and prepare food over the course of one week. We're talking American fast food, Mali open kitchens and everything in between – a taste of culture for visitors of all ages.
Chinese Street Stall
The 40 deliciously intriguing photos, from Menzel and D'Alusio's award-winning book, show the sharp contrasts and universal aspects of this essential human pursuit. Even if photography isn't your cup of tea, Hungry Planet takes the cake with several surprising revelations about global food preparation and consumption.
Vegetable Market in India
So eat your heart out! Hungry Planet will be at the Sam Noble Museum from May 3 until August 31. But, if you're looking to whet your appetite beforehand, join us for an opening reception on Friday, May 2 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.! The public opening will include food tastings from these savory local vendors:
→ Himalayas
→ Caesar's Catering
→ Sooner Legends
→ Legend's
→ Abbey Road Catering
→ Simply Falafel
You might have a lot on your plate, but this is one (mouth-watering) exhibit you won't want to miss. So join us on May 2 for the public opening, and sink your teeth into world culture.
Jules Verne captured adventurous readers through his novel Around the World in 80 Days. Well, today we're circumnavigating the globe in just eight pictures! So pack your bags because for the next few minutes, we're going off the grid.
As the warrior scholars of Feudal Japan, Samurais had quite extensive weaponry: elaborate armor, menacing masks and fanciful swords, such as the one shown above from 1800 CE. For more information about Samurai culture and artifacts, be sure to check out the ethnology collection's blog.
This ceramic drinking vessel hails from the Nazca culture of coastal Peru and dates to around AD 200-800. The artwork depicts a sacrificial scene, indicating that the item may have been used for sacrificial rites.
New Guinea
Kundu drums are a staple of the Sepik region in New Guinea and are used at nearly every ceremony, feast, ritual and community event. Drum makers whittle at hollow tree trunks to achieve the hourglass shape, then stretch lizard or snakeskin across the top opening.
The Acheulean hand axe was in use for over one million years and is considered by some to be the "Swiss army knife" of the Stone Age. Likely used for cutting and butchering, this hand tool from Troche, Dordogne in France could date back to the lower Paleolithic period 1.8 million years
This white painted ware jug is of Cypro-Archiac origins and was likely produced around 600 BCE. Although little information is available about the jug's use, ethnologists can use physical features to speculate about its history. "Typically, the more decorated a piece is, the higher it is in status," said ethnology collection manager Stephanie Allen.
During the Classic Period, AD 200-800, this incense burner from Guatemala would have likely been used by the Maya to send prayers and offerings to the deities. The burner features an individual wearing a helmet or headdress possibly an ancestor or deity.
Made entirely of lion's hair and hide, this Ethiopian headdress is likely from the early to mid-1900s. Because ethnologists are uncertain about the artifact's tribal origins, very little is known about this piece. Regardless, this unique treasure remains a museum favorite.
Discovered in the famous Altamira Cave in Spain, this bone awl would have been used to puncture holes in animal hide for tailoring and manufacturing. The ability to alter clothing enabled those living 50,000 to 10,000 years ago to battle the brutal climate of glacial Europe.
That completes our trip around the world, highlighting artifacts from the ethnology and archaeology departments at the Sam Noble Museum. These departments house extraordinary collections, especially from Native North and Central America. Additional stories about artifacts such as these can be found on the Archaeology and the Ethnology blogs.
The Sam Noble Museum hopes to incorporate a permanent display for artifacts such as these in the coming years. Until then, feel free to view the ethnology department's online catalog.
For more international adventures, be sure to visit our latest exhibit, The Art of Sport + Play, a display of international balls, created with unique materials from around the world.
We're over halfway through with our eleven-week blogging journey! Crazy, right? Don't be sad, friends. There's still five weeks left! To celebrate, we left you a little ITTB challenge on our Facebook page. We know you've been on the edge of your seat since then, justdying to see what collection we're diving into today. Never fear! Relief is on the way. As promised in our last post, we're diving into Mexico's rich history with a little help from our ethnology department.
According to Dr. Marc Levine, curator of archaeology, Mixtec-speaking people of southern Mexico used ritual objects, such as the one above, to burn incense during the 13th through 16th centuries. Grasping the long handle in one hand, a priest would sprinkle aromatic resin over hot coals placed in the circular cup. The pungent smoke would awaken the senses and carry this offering to the gods and ancestors above.
The polychrome painted decoration identify this object as an example of the Mixteca-Puebla style, known from the modern Mexican states of Puebla and Oaxaca. In Mexico today, these incense burners are called sahumadore, and people continue to use them on ritual occasions such Dia de los Muertos, a traditional, Mexican holiday meaning "Day of the Dead." To catch a glimpse of this unique holiday, check out the video below by the Travel Channel:
Pretty neat, huh? If culture and travel isn't really your thing, then be sure to check out last week's post from our invertebrates department! Like always, you're going to want to stay tuned for next week's post. It's creepy, it's slimy, and it's just in time for Halloween. Make sure you don't miss a thing by following our blog and liking us on Facebook for weekly ITTB teasers!
Finally, it's Wednesday! We know you've been on the edge of your seat waiting for today's #ITTB. Well, you're in luck. Today's artifact, submitted by the ethnology department, has quite a rich and far-reaching history. You won't be disappointed.
Today's Inside the Treasure Box selection comes from far across the Atlantic Ocean. This gorgeous mosaic dates to the 2nd century AD and hails from the House of Cilicia at Seleucia Pieria, the harbor of ancient Antioch in Turkey. Archaeologists from Princeton University excavated much of this ancient city in the late 1930s. This mosaic served as the flooring of a triclinium, or dining room, and it represents a personification of the Roman territory of Kilikia, or Cilicia.
Traditionally, in a triclinium, there are three couches arranged in a U-shape along three walls of the room to produce an open area in the center of the room, used for serving food to guests. The area underneath the couches would be decorated with relatively simple designs while the central area of the triclinium would often feature the most elaborate portion of the mosaic, to be the focal point of any banquet.
Want to know the best part about today's selection? Unlike many of our other ITTB gems, which are too fragile or rare to be placed on display, this Turkish mosaic has a permanent home just outside the Brown Gallery. Coincidentally, the Brown Gallery is also the home to our newest exhibit, Masterworks of Native American Art. This exhibit features the latest chapter in Native American fine art, highlighting works from 1960 to the present.
A selection from the "Masterworks" exhibit
With such exquisite culture right around the corner, a trip to the museum is a must for you and your kin. But before you grab your keys and head on over, there's one last thing! Don't forget to tune in next week for part four of this eleven-week series. We're not giving anything away, but you might want to brush up your history, starting with 310 million years ago. That should keep you busy until next week, right? Good. We'll see you on Wednesday!
The collections include a variety of cultural objects, including masks, drums and ceremonial garments, many of which were collected during surveys in the 1970s assessing petroleum and mineral resources. U.S. soldiers also contributed items collected while Allied Forces manned listening stations in New Guinea during World War II.
Here is a sneak peek at the people and culture surrounding our upcoming exhibit:
The people of Papua New Guinea are mostly descendants of Melanesians, closely related to the islanders of Fiji, New Caledonia and Vanuatu. The island was one of the first landmasses to become populated by modern humans, about 50,000 years ago.
Hundreds of cultures live on the island of New Guinea in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. These groups reside in small, remote rural villages- more than a third of them in the rugged highlands- and make their living by fishing, farming, hunting, and gathering. As a result of the villages' isolation, many different languages are spoken on the island. With nearly one thousand distinct dialects spoken there, New Guinea possesses the greatest concentration of languages in the world.
The traditional Melanesian cultures are kept alive in elaborate rituals that accompany deaths, feasts, marriages, compensation ceremonies and initiation rites. Many of the artifacts in our collections reflect the diversity of the region, highlighting such ceremonial traditions as the dramatic fire dances practiced in the Highlands of West Papua and the ritualized veneration of ancestors among the Sepik River groups of New Guinea.
Art in New Guinea is as varied as its people. Carving, twining and weaving, produces many different types of art. Carved wooden sculptures, masks, canoes, and storyboards from New Guinea are valued around the globe in private collections, museums, and art markets.
The objects in Warrior Spirits, which include daggers carved from the bones of cassowary birds – a large flightless bird native to New Guinea and prized for its aggressive territorial nature—along with carved shields, war-clubs, spears and bows and arrows, were created and used by the indigenous peoples of present-day Papua New Guinea and West Papua, Indonesia.
Warrior Spirits: Indigenous Arts from New Guinea will be on display from Feb. 4 through May 13. Augmented with maps, graphics, and audio and video elements, this exhibit allows visitors a glimpse into the fascinating world of New Guinea. For more information, visit our website: www.snomnh.ou.edu.

Develop a Web App, Win one of 5 Ultrabooks!
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in News, Software Development on September 30, 2011
We've given you a heads up (or two) about Intel's AppUp application store wanting to expand into Ultrabooks. It's a move that could even see some synergy in the Windows 8 Metro UI [Tenuous, Insider] and could be a serious earner for both Intel and developers but it needs seeding. That's why Intel are offering prizes. In this case $250 for a Web app submission and and five chances to win an Ultrabook.
ASUS UX21, UX31 Pre-order available at Amazon Germany. Pricing Error?
Amazon are usually a reliable source of true specs and recommended retail price so when new devices go into their system, we take note!
Today we see the ASUS UX21 and two variants of the ASUS UX31 at Amazon Germany now available for pre-order.
The UX21 11.6", the cheapest of the three models (KX004V) is now available for pre-order for €999 That's more than we expected. €200 more than we expected. For €999 you're getting the Core i5 with 128GB of SSD , 4GB of RAM and Windows Home Premium.
The jump to the UX31 will cost you, well, we can't tell because the pricing is all messed up right now with the Core i7 + 265GB (UX31E-RY010V) costing €999, less than a UX31 with Core i5 and 128GB!
Given the errors we'd say wait for a day or two before they get the information sorted out. Or, get in there and try and order a Core i7 with 256GB for 999!
Update: Amazon.de have removed the Asus Ultrabook products. Maybe we should have kept it quiet!
You can track some German pricing for all the models here. (Geizhals)
Toshiba Portege Z830 Leads the Ultrabook Weight Race Full Specs, Video
The Toshiba Portege Z830 is lining up to be one very interesting Ultrabook indeed. It's the lightest 13" model there is at an amazing 1.13KG [see Ultrabook weight comparison here by clicking 'weight column] and has a great line-up of ports and features. Even better news, and solving the mystery of why some people are reporting the casing to be structurally solid when we felt something a little wobbly at IFA, is the news that the casing is now a magnesium alloy and aluminum structure.
Intel's AppUp Expands with Focus on Ultrabooks
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in News, Software Development on September 28, 2011
Echoing what we reported a few days ago is the official announcement that AppUp, the Intel-funded app store for Meego, Windows and Tizen will expand its product focus out to all PCs. Originally Intel had a keen eye on the Atom ecosystem for AppUp but by moving to support HTML5 apps, they think that all PC platforms could benefit.
Peter Biddle who heads-up the AppUp project at Intel had this to say in a blog post introducing the AppUp Elements conference in Seattle.
"Today we disclosed the expansion of the Intel AppUp program to support all PCs with a special focus on the new class of super-slim PCs known as UltrabooksTM. Intel expects as much as 40% of the worldwide laptop market next year to be captured by Ultrabooks, and with fast processors coupled with slick designs this is clearly another massive market for developers."
Acer to Focus on 13", 30% of Notebook Sales
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in News on September 28, 2011
With an estimated notebook ship volume of 5.4 million units forecast for Q3 2011, top-3 notebook manufacturer Acer is hoping that Ultrabooks will make up 30% of volumes in 2012. That's something in the region of 6 million unit for the year.
The news comes from Taiwan News who's article makes an interesting read. Read this section from the 'half-full' angle and then again from the 'half empty' angle.
"In our survey of 200 local consumers, we found that 77 percent are interested in an ultra-thin notebook PC, with 49 percent of them saying they will switch to the new product within six months,"
Experience tells me that people are happy to say 'yes I will' before there's a chance to buy or a known price. The $1000 price point could change opinion very quickly. Even if Acer leads in price, they will have to cut across huge sections of their own market in just 12 months. Interestingly, Acer also state that they won't be doing an 11" model because it competes with low-cost devices. They're probably referring to netbooks with Acer possibly believing that millions of 10 and 11" netbook owners could be tempted to upgrade. Bigger is better, right?
In the current market climate where low-cost tablets are potentially attracting users away from notebook and desktop upgrades and major manufacturers are offering basic 'almost ultrabooks' for a much lower price, the 30% figure is going to be a huge challenge.
Acer Aspire S3. US Pre-Order Price At Sub-$900
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in News on September 27, 2011
Not in the least bit surprising is the first US$ pricing for the Acer S3 Ultrabook which has broken the $1000 price barrier. One retailer has confirmed an $899 price.
Not only is Acer renowned for setting low price points but if you take a look at the spec sheet for the Acer Aspire S3 you'll see that it's missing a few features that could be important to many. No USB 3.0, No Ethernet port. Hybrid hard drive (Not full SSD.)
The price appears to be for a Core i5 version so that's positive news. (Model number LX.RSF02.079) We've found mention of Core i3 variants though and while they could be simple typos, it would make sense to double check before ordering.
Prices are filtering in all over the world now and availability from one Swiss retailer shows a date of 30th Sept so check your local price comparison engine to see if it is showing up. If so, drop above below with models details and prices.

Lenovo Ideapad U300S, Available for Pre-Order, Shipping in 3 weeks.
Following a tweet by Dynamism today I took a look around to see if others were also advertising the Lenovo Ideapad U300s. Sure enough, we've got model details and prices available at a range of places in the USA and even an estimated shipping date. It won't be long!
The specifications match what we were told at IFA with two models being available.
Samsung to Outsource Ultrabook
According to a 'paper' [What is this, a Post-It on the Digitimes coffee machine?] Samsung is having an Ultrabook manufactured by Quanta. Not only that but they will produce a second Ultrabook in-house.
Given that Samsung already have two devices that could be re-purposed as true Ultrabooks with a small hardware update (the anti-theft module) and perhaps a little price drop, this is strange news.
See Samsung's existing Ultrabook-like laptops.
It could be as simple as a re-organisation of the production lines for the existing models and a small specification change; A move to a Quanta production line could be a cost-saving measure. It could also be a Quanta original design. Again, probably a cost saving measure. Either way, Taiwan will be happy to get the trade from South Korea!
ASUS Ultrabook Event Oct 11th in New York
We'll see these events all over the place over the next few months as all the Ultrabooks filter into the market but given the pricing and specs of the UX21 and UX31, the Asus models could generate the most interest.
Blogeee.net (link below) are highlighting a New York event for the 11th Oct
Buyers Guide – Ultrabook Alternatives
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in Report on September 25, 2011
We keep an updated list of Ultrabook alternatives here.
Apart from the Apple MacBook Air which is built like an Ultrabook but sold like an Apple product, there are other interesting options that hover just outside the weight and features list of a true Ultrabook. You've got options with Core i3 or AMD E450 at way below the Ultrabook price level, options without SSD and even high-end options. If you can handle just 500 gm / 1lb more weight and are flexible on specs you can save hundreds. In this report I list your options for Sept-Oct 2011.
Before you take a look at the Ultrabook alternatives, have a look at these two reference articles to find out exactly what an Ultrabook is.

Asus UX21 and UX31 Euro Pricing
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in News on September 24, 2011
Well how about that. Despite all the moaning by OEMs that they can't reach the target prices, up pop some very interesting prices for the Asus UX21 and UX31.
€799 for an 11.6″ Core i5 laptop in 1kg undercuts every option out there under 1.5kg. Given that Asus is unlikely to be commiting to a huge production run and that the specs and brand will trump Acer's S3 offering, it could be that availability will be tight.
Marketing, Graphics Options, Compulsory Security Features Revealed in Ultrabook Q&A
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in News on September 22, 2011
You go to the Intel Developer Forum to learn. You learn about Intel's heading, new technology and knowledge from other attendees. Unlike trade-shows where you'll be talking to marketing teams and show-floor assistance, you get to hear from expert engineers, product managers and technologists. Thanks to Intels support at IDF I was able to sit down for a one-to-one with Adam King, senior manager responsible for the Ultrabook sector and get some outstanding questions answered.
HP Advertising 'Ultrabook Computers' – Next in Line to Launch?
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in News on September 20, 2011
This could be seen as an anti-Ultrabook stance (trying to sell standard PCs against the Ultrabook keyword) or preparation for an Ultrabook launch. HP are advertising against searches for 'Ultrabook'
It looks pro-Ultrabook to me!
LG Xnote P220. Not quite an Ultrabook. Full Specs Now in the Ultrabook Database
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in New Products on September 20, 2011
After scouring the net for an update on the LG Xnote P220 finding and entering all the details and images into our database I've decided that the P220 isn't an Ultrabook. But it's awesome enough that it needs a close look, even if it's just for the screen.
The LG 'Shuriken' display [more info in this article] is the main feature here offering a 12.5" 1366×769 IPS screen in the same size as an 11.6" screen. it looks so impressive with the thin frame.
Appup App Store Coming to Ultrabooks
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in News, Software Development on September 19, 2011
From the moment I saw the Samsung Series 7 slate.with the Appup logo on it at IFA I knew there was something going on. It makes complete sense to use the Ultrabook category as a way to expand and springboard the Appup app store and to add extra value to Ultrabooks. I reported on the value of it here.
When I saw a Samsung Series 9 on the Appup booth at IDF last week I began to ask questions. Everyone kept their mouths shut. Now I know why.
In a list of sessions published on the Appup Elements event site today my suspicions are confirmed.

Texas politicians have introduced a "Back Door Abortion Ban" (Senate Bill 537), a bill that would virtually ban abortion statewide. This type of bill, termed TRAP ("targeted regulation of abortion providers"), places medically unnecessary and onerous requirements on health care centers, while doing nothing to improve the health or safety of women. TRAP is a back door attempt to deny women access to a safe and legal medical procedure.
SB 537 would require all health centers that provide safe and legal abortions to become licensed Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs ). Among the 117 pages of regulations required of Ambulatory Surgery Centers in Texas are surgical operating rooms of at least 240 square feet, specific requirements for the flooring and outfitting of janitors closets, and ventilations systems required for a sterile operating room, among many other onerous requirements that are excessive for procedures that, like abortion, can be safely performed in a health center setting.
This "Back Door Abortion Ban" could mean the closure of multiple health centers outside of the few major cities and could have a devastating impact on women living in most areas of Texas.
Already, an estimated 200,000 Texas women are going without basic, preventive health care this year because of the state's ongoing political attacks on women's health care. If lawmakers care about women's health, they should focus on restoring Texas women's access to lifesaving breast and cervical cancer screenings, birth control, and HIV tests by reinstating the Medicaid Women's Health Program and restoring funding for the state's family planning program.
Join us and voice your outrage: How have you and your community been affected by the state's ongoing political attacks on women's health? How would you like to see YOUR elected officials take action to support women's health?

Small businesses, individually owned or family-owned, are really the backbone of this country's economy, employing more people nationwide than the big-name giant corporations, and serving most of our daily living needs.
For many of these businesses, family continuity, the transition/succession of ownership/management from one generation to the next, is a huge issue. I've worked for four different family businesses in four very different industries, and have seen four different approaches to generation transition.
The most interesting I think was a local grocery store chain. The company was owned by several brothers, was a couple of decades old and had been holding its own, and expanding, in the face of pressure from the big national chains.
As a family business, it was not surprising that many of the brothers' family (wives, kids, and siblings) worked there. What was surprising was the family employment structure. Each of the brothers managed different stores. When a family member wanted to work in the company they got jobs with their in-laws, as it were.
The short story is that the kids my age all worked for their uncles, not their dads. The process was interesting to watch as a young employee, and over the years I've become impressed by the brothers' wisdom. These guys were shrewd businessmen and canny managers.
When their kids began working, they started at the bottom of the heap, waiting the bakery counter, stocking shelves, bagging groceries, etc. In working at their uncles' stores, each of the next generation got to choose whether they would apply themselves, simply work for some cash, or screw off.
The uncles were able to objectively supervise their young kin, while listening to and supporting their department managers (who could give honest feedback without falling afoul of the "nobody-can-criticize-the-boss'-kid-trap"), and showed very little favoritism or preferential treatment that I could see. I don't recall any of the kids who were my peers being jumped up to better jobs or inflated pay rates. If they worked hard, they were trained and tutored. When they slacked off they got chewed out, just like me, or they got canned.
A couple of the kids who were a few years older than me seemed to be genuinely interested in the business. After working in several departments at one store, one of the boys had been moved to the store where I worked to start his training as assistant manager, again, with his uncle. Having worked up from the inside and the bottom, this scion, as near as I could tell, encountered minimal resistance or resentment from other current employees and department managers, when he eventually became general manager. He was not there simply because he was the boss' kid. He'd worked and earned his way there.
For this company, the conscious, planned, process of testing and training (and weeding out) of their children as participants in the family business paid off as the brothers, in their turn, handed off management of this successful grocery business to the next generation.

OBJECTIVE: The effects of D-cycloserine added to clozapine were assessed
and compared with previous results for D-cycloserine plus conventional
neuroleptics. METHOD: Ten schizophrenic outpatients receiving clozapine
entered consecutive 2-week trials of placebo and D- cycloserine at 5, 15,
50, and 250 mg/day. Clinical evaluations were videotaped and scored by a
rater blind to the sequence of assessments. RESULTS: There was a
significant dose effect of D-cycloserine on scores on the Scale for the
Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS); the 50-mg dose produced a mean 21%
increase in SANS score. The patients had significantly higher baseline
serum glutamate concentrations than the patients receiving typical
neuroleptics in the previous trial. Baseline glutamate level and change in
glycine level significantly correlated with response of negative symptoms
to 50-mg D-cycloserine. CONCLUSIONS: The improvement of negative symptoms
with D-cycloserine previously observed in patients receiving typical
neuroleptics did not occur in patients treated with clozapine.
