The decision to end the very successful run of the hit NBC comedy, 30 Rock, was made long before the show's star, Alec Baldwin, was booted from a commercial flight for playing Words With Friends on his smart phone. In an interview months ago, Baldwin, who also is a producer of the show, said the comedy would end after its sixth season, when the casts' contracts with NBC expire.
The 30 Rock season premiere airs Thursday, January 12 at 8:00 p.m. EST on NBC; check local listings for the DISH Network NBC channel in your area. Numerous publications including Entertainment Weekly have dubbed 30 Rock the "best comedy on TV," and with Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin and Tracey Morgan starring, it's understandable why 30 Rock has garnered respect and adoration from millions of Americans. Nominated for a record seventeen Emmys® since its first season, the show has won a number of awards from throughout the entertainment world (too numerous to list here). One of the most prestigious honors the show received was the 2007 Emmy® for "Outstanding Comedy Series."
Big name guest stars have contributed to the show's success, Elaine Stritch actually took home an Emmy® for her performance on the show in 2007. Other standout guest stars included Steve Buscemi, Edie Falco, Carrie Fisher, Jerry Seinfeld, Al Gore, Gladys Knight, Meredith Vieira, Whoopi Goldberg, LL Cool J, Nathan Lane, Molly Shannon and John McEnroe.
If you enjoyed the first five seasons, tune into the 30 Rock season premiere as its sixth season will be its last. Set your calendar for Thursday, January 12 at 8:00 p.m. DISH packages bring you the very best in hit comedies, dramas, movies, music, sporting events and your favorite local channels.

Having some fun shooting a fully automatic M249 SAW machine gun in Las Vegas.This is a very real and very dangerous weapon. It is the same light machine gun found in many first person shooters. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to shoot a real one (in a nice, safe environment, of course!)Special thanks to the employees of The Gun Store in Las Vegas, Nevada for putting up with us filming the visit. Those off duty officers are a tad nervous when any Joe Shmuck off the street can come in and handle a loaded, fully automatic rifle. They were very accommodating.For those of you asking the same question I did, yes - new fully automatic weapons are illegal to own in the USA, unless you're the military or police. The assault weapons ban did not pass until 1994, so it is still perfectly legal to own an auto made before then.The music, "Cold Metal [Smack]" is licensed and royalty free via Pinnacle Studio/SmartSound.

A day in the life of Shafreeyah
Edited by Shafreeyah on 14/02/12 16:58 (GMT)
Good day fellow Sunstrider people.
Today I woke up to a glorious cold, grey, English sky. I quickly got out my bed (a hard feat for someone as overweight as me) and got onto my bike and went for a hour long bike ride. I picked a random direction from my house, rode 30 minutes, looked on phones GPS to see where I was and headed back home. Upon arriving at the abode of the Shafreeyah I wondered how to go about quenching the fires of hunger from within (I'm quite fat so these were big fires). It was quickly decided that I should go about making some pasties from scratch as I am a fine and noble chef, this option was available to me. Hours later, breakfast had arrived in the form of some spicy chicken pasties with a side helping of mandarin yoghurt to cool the burning tongue of Shafreeyah should the spice get out of control. Following the grand breakfast of Shafreeyah the wise one thought to himself "Hmm I better tidy this up" and promptly began the cleansing of the kitchen facilities. It was at this point that the great Shafreeyah turned on the metal water heater thingymabobby (I think its called a kettle) and made oneself a soothing cup of green tea. I ascended the stairs of Shafreeyah's abode to meet the dreaded Bathroom boss. Phase one consisted of battling valiently with the mighty toothbrush as it attacked my mouth from all directions, hoping to purify it from all plaque and bacteria. Once this vile beast was slain the boss, using all of its cunning and wile, summoned forth the shaver to attack the stubble upon my throat. Fearing for my life I used some shaving foam to soften the hairs so that the shaver phase would have its damaged reduced. Soon the shaver boss was almost dead, I let my guard down. This was to prove to be an almost fatal mistake as the bathroom boss had summoned forth a bathtub almost full to the brim of hot, bubbly water, without me realising. I knew what had to be done. I summoned forth all my courage and let out my battlecry. I stripped down to show the bathroom boss I was not scared of any of the challenges it could put in my path. Then I charged forth, into the bath tub, getting assailed from all angles by hot bubbly water to remove the sweat and dirt from the mornings bike ride. It was almost too much but I relaxed my body and focused my mind and leaned out of the bathtub to pick up an epic novel of untold preportions (Wheel of Time series if anyone is interested) and studied the manuscript in hope of finding some unforeseen tactic to defeat this boss. It was not long into the reading that I discovered a weakness. Placing the tome down the mighty Shafreeyah reached forth to grab the Soap of Kings and commenced scrubbing his body down. Every nook and cranny had to feel the wrath of the Soap, to feel its soft carress against his skin. As this scrubbing took place, the mind of Shafreeyah wondered. Impossible scenarios of failure crept into his mind. Scenarios of pain, dissapointment, futality and death. The great Shafreeyah could not allow this to happen so he honed his mind to a point of focus to shut out all doubt and scrubbed like no one had scrubbed before. The bathroom boss was defeated, debries from the epic struggle was strewn across the battlefield. Slowly Shafreeyah ascended from the bathtub, a sense of great achievement filled his body head to toe. The wise Shafreeyah knelt down and looted the corpse of the bathroom boss to find The Towel of Ungodly Size (iLvl 502) and wrapped it around his body victoriously. Shafreeyah decided it was time to leave the battlefield and strolled across the landing towards the lair of the Shafreeyah where he promptly turned on the computer, sat down upon his wide chair (since he is very fat) and loaded up the forum of his compatriats. Pen hit paper as the grand Shafreeyah thought to write down the story of his struggle so that future generations could learn from his tactics to help them defeat the bosses of the days ahead with as much grace as Shafreeyah used. The end. EDIT: Pictures of the epic ecounter. http://i42.tinypic.com/2zq4hh5.jpg Fighting the toothbrush phase http://i40.tinypic.com/1znsh1s.jpg Fighting the shaver phase. http://i41.tinypic.com/301nal2.jpg Victory vs the shaver. http://i42.tinypic.com/2ynigph.jpg In dire need of healing vs the bath boss |
so....you got jelly in your belly?
From the b to the g.
One can only wish for jelly :( |
If you ever find yourself in need Shafreeyah, you have my sword.
Back off Futtonz, you are so white.
I expected pictures of the pasties and yoghurt and all i got was breast fur. I am disappoint (although simultaneous slightly excite).
Is that latin or some other silly language chris?
Yay I can recognize latin.

Today at work I rose at the roosters first call at 3:30am to prepare myself for the day ahead. I went to the kitchen and got a nice bowl of cereal and proceeded to consume it. Once this job was complete, I elevated to the upstairs of my house to enter the room of bathing. In this room (in which I previously conquered the boss) I did my 3 S's before getting my bike out to peddle into work (trying to lose weight for some reason) so I could get there before 4:30am to open the shop for our baker to begin making his oh so lovely bread. Once he was all set up I got out my mighty set of keys and opened the door the the cash office, in which I promptly set myself up on the computer to place the mornings orders before 6am so they can be sent for tomorrow. Because I am a skillful tauren this was over quickly. After this was done I printed off all the paperwork I needed to count up yesterdays cash taking through the tills (£32k). Once the money was counted I quickly threw it all up in the air and rolled around on the floor proclaiming my wealth. This never happened because I am mature IRL :(.
Cash put into banking bags, change placed in tills, scratchcards counted. BAM! JOB DONE! I then got the tills on my trolley and wizzed up to the shopfloor to get the till floats out on their tills before I open the doors to the public at 6am. Job's a good un. Once the initiate rush of work was done it was time to go to the canteen and make myself a nice warm cup of brown. Since I rarely drink tea I was silly and left my tea bag in for the entire time so it tasted horrible like normal. I had my tea and got out of my biking shorts into my smart trousers and got my shirt and tie on (lime green shirt =[ ) in preparation for todays expected visit from the regional managers manager (regional office for the south west is right above my store, very annoying with the amount of visits we recieve at times). This was not due for many hours so I helped the fresh team get the backup worked in preparation for the delivery to come in. YAY A LORRY! Fresh delievery! WHOOSH zoom milk goes out as a priority boom. I then realise I am too tired to actually bother carry on typing so instead I attempt to eat a harmonica. http://i40.tinypic.com/b61y0y.jpg |
Want another cheese cream cake!? You weren't fighting the shaver it was fighting you due to the fear of being eaten! In fact I am too scared to open those pics again in case I am eaten myself ... I mean I have no fear of being eaten bit by bit but i mean you look like you can take me in one mouth full! Wow ( its funny cuz he`s fat! )

A year after a mother and her three young sons were found brutally murdered inside their Marianna apartment, the case remains unsolved.
Danielle Baker and her three young sons were found dead inside their Cottondale Village apartment in Marianna. The children using duct tape and Baker died from a gunshot.
Marianna police chief Lou Roberts has been in law enforcement for more than 25 years but says what he saw on March 17 2005 is burned forever on his mind.
Roberts said it is one of the most grizzly crime scenes they have ever seen.
Nickie Wilkenson lives down the street from where the quadruple slayings took place. She says still lives in a state of fear.
"It happened down the road. We still talk about it. I have a young child; every time I hear something unusual, I'm scared" said Wilkenson.
Baker's one-time boyfriend, Wesley Williams, is being called a person of interest. He is currently being held on an unrelated charge of assault:
Jackson County officials are asking anyone with information to contact with CrimeStopper 850-526-5000.
At six o'clock this Friday night, candlelight vigil will be held outside Baker's Cottondale Village apartment in Marianna.

Racino lease goes before finance board
Plan includes casino near Albuqueque intersection
SANTA FE (KRQE) - The State Board of Finance is meeting Tuesday to consider the controversial 25-year lease with the Downs at Albuquerque racetrack and casino at the state fairgrounds.
The State Fair Commission already has approved the lease by a 4-3 vote.
The finance board is being asked to approve the lease for the horse track and a larger $20 million casino to be built away from the current grandstand and near the intersection of Central Avenue NE and Louisiana Boulevard.
The fair commission approved the new lease last month despite critics saying the bid process was rushed to favor the Downs, which holds the current lease.
The Downs was one of two companies that responded to a request for lease proposals.
The current lease expires next month.

Rogers Cup 2013: Who Has the Most Work to Do Before the US Open?
By (Featured Columnist) on August 12, 2013
7,209 reads
Rogers Cup 2013 certainly showcased some important issues facing tennis' biggest stars.
Some players, like Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams, are feeling good about their tennis. Others, like Andy Murray and Agnieszka Radwanska, learned a few good lessons. Meanwhile, Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova will be happy to get back into action.
This week, the Southern and Western Open in Cincinnati will be one last test for these stars to right the ship and sail into the U.S. Open.
The following slides examine the men and women who will most reasonably contend for the title. They are listed in ascending order according to how much work they must do to win the last Grand Slam title of 2013.
Serena Williams
Andy Lyons/Getty Images
Serena Williams is probably still smarting from her Wimbledon upset. But she has picked herself up and hammered away at the WTA. Ten wins in a row and titles in Sweden and Canada are evidence enough that there is nothing wrong.
Williams needs only to guard against complacency. Even she can have a bad match, but she has learned to find her way when pushed. Then it's usually lights out.
The work ahead for Williams means staying healthy, keeping her dominant edge against her nearest rivals and showing up at the U.S. Open. It's her tournament to lose.
Rafael Nadal
Matthew Stockman/Getty Images
Any doubters out there? Nobody dishes up crow like Rafael Nadal. Even when injuries, layoffs and upsets send him back to the drawing board, he continues to reinvent himself. What else can we say about this champion?
Nadal has now steered himself into position as one of the U.S. Open favorites, along with Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray. The Rogers Cup saw him execute an aggressive game plan more conducive to winning the U.S. Open. Clay court Rafa is still resting securely somewhere in Majorca.
The work ahead for him means getting more matches against contrasting opponents. It will allow him to mix a few more solutions and test the surface speed in Cincinnati. He still needs to become more comfortable stepping in and finishing with his strokes to the deuce court, because there were times Djokovic pushed him back to his old routines.
It's scary to think that he can still get a lot sharper in the weeks ahead, but the key for him is to not get worn down. Competing in best-of-five matches at the U.S. Open requires healthy knees.
Novak Djokovic
Matthew Stockman/Getty Images
Nobody likes to lose a tough semifinal to his greatest rival, least of all Novak Djokovic, who has dropped several big matches over the past 14 months. But this Rogers Cup defeat will give him a chance to study the Rafael Nadal blueprint and make changes of his own.
There's no need to push the panic button. He was uncharacteristically erratic against Nadal, but he still has a smaller margin of error with his hard-court game.
His forehand will be increasingly challenged. The rest of the ATP knows it cannot send high, short balls anywhere near his angle-seeking backhand. He must be ready to pick up flatter corner shots and attack better from the center baseline, where he often was content to trade strokes.
Djokovic and coach Marian Vajda have made a gradual and concerted effort to get him to follow up many of his excellent shots at net. It paid off beautifully at the Australian Open and might be another weapon to try out and refine at Cincinnati.
Nothing would please him more than defeating Andy Murray and Nadal to win the U.S. Open. To many, he is still the favorite to win this Grand Slam title.
Andy Murray
Matthew Stockman/Getty Images
Andy Murray paid the price for playing passively against Ernests Gulbis at the Canada Open. His strokes lacked pop, and his defensive tenacity was absent. But it's not a huge cause for concern. After all, the Rogers Cup winner has won the U.S. Open one time in the past six years.
Murray will be alert at Cincinnati. The courts are faster and will allow him to redirect shots with more defensive pace.
The main thing is that he sharpens his edge. Maybe he needs to scowl more, break a racket and kick a water bottle.
Murray's belief and resilience have grown immeasurably the past year. The burden of being Slamless seems like ancient history. But he must not play as if he is satisfied. A hungry Murray is his best bet.
Victoria Azarenka
Joe Scarnici/Getty Images
Victoria Azarenka was scratched from Rogers Cup competition due to lower back problems. She also dealt with an injured knee at Wimbledon when she was unceremoniously bounced out of the second round.
Her first order of business is to prove she is healthy. She needs matches to tune up for the U.S. Open.
Her next task will be much tougher. She would likely have to go through Serena Williams to win her first U.S. Open title. It won't get any easier after falling short in the third set a year ago. Williams has defeated her 12 of 14 times and is a dominating 7-0 in Slams.
It won't be possible to make up the gap of power and athleticism against Williams, but Azarenka can only control her own conditioning and sharpen her play. There's a lot of work to accomplish before any possibility of a rematch.
Maria Sharapova
Dennis Grombkowski/Getty Images
The tennis world is still waiting for Maria Sharapova to return to tennis. Since she last competed at Wimbledon, she has found a new coach in Jimmy Connors and has tried to heal from her hip injury.
She must get some work with match play. Her second round possibility is a tantalizing encounter with American Sloane Stephens. It's the kind of competitive challenge that will have Sharapova itching to play.
Sharapova will undoubtedly reveal some subtleties from Connors' coaching. Will he have her follow up on some of her baseline blasts? Will his role mostly be to help her find a way past Serena Williams? It's one of the more intriguing stories to watch as the U.S. Open draws near.
Agnieszka Radwanska
Andy Lyons/Getty Images
What else can Agnieszka Radwanska do to erase her 0-6 career mark against Serena Williams? It's the same kind of problem all the WTA top contenders face against the world No. 1.
Can she overcome Williams' superior power and Grand Slam legacy?
For starters, Radwanska is not a powerful player. She has a good variety of tennis skill, but her change of pace shifts from medium to slow. It takes a near-perfect mix of volleys, lobs and consistent groundstroke depth to defeat the other top players. She needs to continue working on strength and conditioning, but there's only so much she can do to close the power gap.
Radwanska may have to work more with an aggressive game plan and take chances when there are openings. Her inclination is to keep working a point, but it might be wise for her to study the improved offensive punch of post-2011 Andy Murray.
Juan Martin Del Potro
Matthew Stockman/Getty Images
As soon as tennis fans jump on Juan Martin del Potro's Grand Slam bandwagon, the wheels fall off. Injuries and inconsistency are the primary culprits. He has fallen from near-Wimbledon finalist to third-round casualty at the Canada Open. Is it time for a new flavor of the month?
The biggest concern is del Potro's back injury. He must be able to play at full strength, because his serve was anemic in his last match. His legs were slow and probably affected by the back. It's not easy to stop, turn and burst again with any kind of nerve pain. How healthy is he?
Beyond that, del Potro must continue to compete and win big matches. He has a reasonably tough draw that could force him to play four top-10 players. He defeated Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic at Indian Wells but couldn't hold on against Rafael Nadal.
Things need to pick up this week in Cincinnati. A semifinal appearance would be a great sign of being healthy and prepare him for the U.S. Open.
Jerzy Janowicz
Matthew Stockman/Getty Images
There are the usual pretenders like Tomas Berdych and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. They go on an occasional deep run in a Grand Slam before disappearing months at a time. There's also the hard-working David Ferrer, who can do no more than he has with his ever-charging mentality.
However, I'm more interested in seeing if Jerzy Janowicz can follow up his Wimbledon semifinal with a deep U.S. Open run. He struggled a bit at the Canada Open, but Rafael Nadal has a way of squeezing out more juice in tight matches. We'll give Janowicz a pardon for that loss.
Janowicz must continue to trust his big forehand. It sets up his beautiful drop shots and gives him plenty of opportunities to scramble his opponents. Most of all, he is not afraid to compete. He has not suffered the mental scars of Berdych, Tsonga and Ferrer. He's young, powerful and believes he can beat the top guns.
If there is anything Janowicz needs, it's more big matches. This time, he could possibly battle Ferrer, Juan Martin del Potro and Novak Djokovic. Is he ready, or is it too much too soon?
Roger Federer
Joern Pollex/Getty Images
These days, Roger Federer would love to drink from the Fountain of Youth just to banish his back problems. For at least the past six months, he has had to manage this limitation while trying to jump in and out of important tournaments. But the injury came back to bite him at Hamburg and Gstaad as he tried to get extra conditioning for the North American hard court season.
On top of that, he is trying to play with a larger racket.
It's a lot to overcome as he makes his return to Cincinnati to defend his title.
If that were not tough enough, his old nemesis, Rafael Nadal, is roaring and would likely be waiting in the quarterfinals.
If Federer gets that far...
And that's the problem. Federer has a lot of questions to answer about the past several months and his gradual decline in the rankings. He needs renewed health, sudden dividends with the new racket and to somehow play his way into top-notch tennis shape.
If it were any other veteran player, it would be too much to consider, but Roger Federer is not any other veteran player.

Just noticed that Todd Oldham Studio posted about the SITE Santa Fe auction. Thanks for the mention, guys!
Glue-gunning with Todd Oldham at SITE Santa Fe
So what exactly was I DOING in Santa Fe last week, you ask?
Helping a friend, is the short answer. My dear friend Laura is the director of SITE Santa Fe, a thoroughly edgy contemporary art space. (I've mentioned her before.)
Every other year, they hold a two-night art auction to raise operating funds. It's a big deal. This year, the artists who donated work included Jenny Holzer, Ed Ruscha, and Matthew Ritchie.
The designer Todd Oldham was Honorary Chairman of this year's auction. There's really nothing Todd DOESN'T design: clothing, housewares, interiors… In a way, it made perfect sense that he should create an art event. In any case, Laura wanted a designer on hand to assist him in the days leading up to the auction.
That's where I came in.
Todd had already come up with the concept, of course, which involved shots of neon color within SITE's gigantic white and black galleries. My job was to help him do whatever needed to be done: wrapping cocktail tables in neon fabric, painting the rims of the serving trays he'd designed…you know, the usual stuff
But nothing came close to what I shall call, affectionately, "Vials A Go Go."
Todd had ordered roughly a gazillion pink, green and yellow test-tube-like vials to make centerpieces and whatever else he came up with on site. At SITE's entrance, Todd had placed three eye-searing, pinkish-orange, box-like check-in desks.* (Tyler, the poor guy spray-painting them in the parking lot, was caught in a crosswind and ended up looking like he fell asleep at the beach.)
But something was lacking.
I'd created some medium-sized centerpieces out of the vials just in case we needed them. Todd fiddled around with those for a while, and then we embarked upon a glue-gunning odyssey the likes of which the world has never seen.
Using the centerpieces as the starting point, we glued many, MANY more vials to the top and sides of each desk. The idea was to make them appear as though they were tumbling down, leading you into the galleries. (That's Todd's partner Tony in the picture, one of the sweetest men you'll ever meet.)
Then, as though that weren't enough, we used a squirt bottle to fill each vial with water and put orchid-like flowers in them. I believe they were Cymbidium…Todd knows a lot more about flowers than I do.
(Sorry about that unflattering picture, Todd.)
There was, however, one foe lurking in the wings, just waiting for the right moment to sabotage our beautiful, edgy installation.
That foe was gravity.
During the preview on Friday evening, the vials slowly started coming loose and clattering to the ground. They were plastic, so they didn't break, but they did spill water everywhere and create quite a mess. SITE's quick-thinking staff just kept picking up the vials and flowers and putting them in a water-filled bucket behind the desk, but it was a real pain.
So Saturday a.m. found me back at the gallery, more powerful glue gun in hand. If the one I used before was a derringer, this was a bazooka. No messing around. And we decided to nix the water; the flowers could go without for 15 hours.
I'm delighted to report that not a single vial came loose on Saturday. Not one. That victory, plus I got to work with a super talented, super cool, super lovely designer AND the funky fresh staff of SITE.
All in all, a successful trip.
*Today's blog entry has been brought to you by the hyphen.
What to hang at the end of a hallway
Art. (You knew that was coming, didn't you?)
I touched on this subject in an earlier post about enlivening dreary hallways. In that case, though, there was wainscoting to deal with and very little light…in other words, we had bigger fish to fry before we could think about art.
But speaking of big fish, that recent trip to Santa Fe yielded two excellent-use-of-art-at-end of-hallway situations. Here's the first one:
How fantastic is this piece? It's by Kate Javens, an artist represented by Marcia Wood Gallery in Atlanta. The large scale is perfect for this space (obviously), but the piece is remarkable up close, also: the brushstrokes are intricate and there's a translucent quality to the paint that's beautiful to look at.
In another house, this ancient Chinese piece is visible from the kitchen:
And as you approach it, the mottled surface of the piece becomes more evident – a reminder of how old this is. (How old? Not exactly sure. Wicked old.) The skylight provides an ambient glow during the day, and spot lighting from the side helps when it gets darker outside.
So for the end of a hallway, look for art that has a strong graphic quality from afar AND details that make the piece interesting from, ah, a-near.
Pueblo Revival Survival Strategy #3: Minimalist
And for the final installment in the 2008 "Blogger at Large" series: minimalism is yet another viable tactic for coping with Pueblo Revival architecture.
Everything belonging to the owner of this condominium – an absolutely delightful scientist at Los Alamos – is functional and attractive. (You'll recognize DWR's Cubitec shelving, of course, and the dining chairs are or are similar to 9 Hole Dragon stackable chairs…many other pieces of furniture were purchased in Boston.) No object is superfluous.
One benefit of the minimalist approach, of course, is that modestly scaled spaces seem larger when unnecessary objects are banished. Add tidiness to the equation and spaces seem bigger still.
Hey – looky there! The picture above! Could it be…a modernist vignette?
A clever move on the owner's part was to keep the furniture modest in scale. Technically, these rooms can handle larger pieces, but leaving ample space around the furniture makes for quite a dramatic effect. And everything has room to breathe.
Thoughts about Pueblo Revival architecture or any of these survival strategies? I'd love to hear them.
Pueblo Revival Survival Strategy #2: Homey
When faced with "Pueblo Revival" architecture, an alternative to a traditional Southwestern interior is the homey approach. This Santa Fe guest house is comfortable but elegant, distinguished by an airy interior and a fabulous art collection.
As with Survival Strategy #1: Contemporary, the walls and ceiling are light in color. Note, though, that here they've skipped the traditional viga ceiling in favor of simple exposed beams. It's fresher and less stylized…the ceiling's clean lines are echoed in the no-frills built-in bookshelves and simple fireplace mantel and surround, all of which are painted to blend with the walls.
On their own, the living room furnishings are nothing to write home about. But the neutral tones (warm beiges rather than cool greys) and natural materials (linen upholstery, sisal rug) are an appropriate backdrop to the resident's collection of art and antiquities. I wholeheartedly agree with this approach to decorating and art: when you have an interesting collection, establish a consistent, muted palette and get out of the way.
Here's another thing that makes this interior so successful: the "vignette." Using this term in normal conversation is pretty much the same as screaming, "I watch too much HGTV," but it has its uses. You know what I'm talking about, right? A set piece – a display, a "little picture…"
Yes, like this. Exactly like this. Vaguely Southwestern/Taos table, distressed. Carefully chosen art books neatly stacked below, small sculptures and arrowheads arranged on top. Two pictures on the wall above, the exact width of the table, reflecting the colors of the figurines on it. Whole = greater than sum of the parts (although in this case the parts are pretty darn good).
Here's another one (right), more color-coordinated, and below is the arrangement immediately to your left as you enter the house. (There's no separate foyer, so this vignette defines the space near the door – it separates the entry from the living and dining areas, which are all part of the same room.)
Even the guest bath has a tiny vignette on the vanity top.
The mark of an excellent eye as well as a gracious hostess: a candle, water glass, assortment of soaps, and a small painting…really, what more could a guest ask for?
Do note that the bathroom here is nothing like the streamlined bathrooms in the contemporary Santa Fe house I discussed previously. This is more typically "Southwestern," as evidenced by the handpainted tile in rich, festive colors.
After spending a lovely cocktail hour(s) in this house, I started to think, "Maybe I could live in Santa Fe. This Southwestern adobe thing is actually pretty versatile…" but that might have been the wine and art lust talking. At the very least, I'll go back for a visit. If I'm invited, of course.

Chakrabarti P, et al. (2013) Insulin Inhibits Lipolysis in Adipocytes via the Evolutionarily Conserved mTORC1-Egr1-ATGL-Mediated Pathway. Mol Cell Biol 33(18):3659-66
Abstract: One of the basic functions of insulin in the body is to inhibit lipolysis in adipocytes. Recently, we have found that insulin inhibits lipolysis and promotes triglyceride storage by decreasing transcription of adipose triglyceride lipase via the mTORC1-mediated pathway (P. Chakrabarti et al., Diabetes 59:775-781, 2010), although the mechanism of this effect remained unknown. Here, we used a genetic screen in Saccharomyces cerevisiae in order to identify a transcription factor that mediates the effect of Tor1 on the expression of the ATGL ortholog in yeast. This factor, Msn4p, has homologues in mammalian cells that form a family of early growth response transcription factors. One member of the family, Egr1, is induced by insulin and nutrients and directly inhibits activity of the ATGL promoter in vitro and expression of ATGL in cultured adipocytes. Feeding animals a high-fat diet increases the activity of mTORC1 and the expression of Egr1 while decreasing ATGL levels in epididymal fat. We suggest that the evolutionarily conserved mTORC1-Egr1-ATGL regulatory pathway represents an important component of the antilipolytic effect of insulin in the mammalian organism.

Organic Farming
Read MoreOrganic farming works in harmony with nature rather than against it. This involves using techniques to achieve good crop yields without harming the natural environment or the people who live and work in ...
Save The Nature Save Life
What sounds better? Natural, seasonal and chemical-free? Or genetically modified, mass produced and laced with pesticides?
Ironically, the food industry once scoffed at organic food. Those who grew it were seen as eccentric and marginal. Those who consumed it were thought to live in hippie communes. But by the late 1990s, the organic food segment was demonstrating double-digit growth every year. Today, the projected growth continues to be staggering. What the corporate executives had failed to see is that, all around the world, people want to reclaim food from mass production.
Some are motivated by the dangers of conventional farming, which uses harmful agents like hormones, antibiotics, genetically modified organisms (GMO) and pesticides to grow more food at a faster pace, regardless of the health consequences or environmental impact. Others are realizing that organic food tastes better, period. Resoundingly, food lovers have demonstrated that they are willing to pay more for food that is seasonal, artisanal, and yes, exceptional.
Join us in returning to the way food used to be. In this guide, discover the local-organic connection, explore the myriad of organic produce varieties and learn how to find the very best food available. Start greening your diet today.

Performance bounds for flow control protocols
- Already Purchased? View Article
- Subscription Options Learn More
We discuss a simple conceptual framework for analyzing the flow of data in integrated services networks. The framework allows us to easily model and analyze the behavior of open loop, rate based flow control protocols, as well as closed loop, window based flow control protocols. Central to the framework is the concept of a service curve element, whose departure process is bounded between the convolution of the arrival process with a minimum service curve and the convolution of the arrival process with a maximum service curve. Service curve elements can model links, propagation delays, schedulers, regulators, and window based throttles. The mathematical properties of convolution allow us to easily analyze complex configurations of service curve elements to obtain bounds on the end-to-end performance. We demonstrate this by examples, and investigate tradeoffs between buffering requirements, throughput, and delay, for different flow control strategies

Moderation is a fatal thing. . . . Nothing succeeds like excess.
Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
Woman begins by resisting a man's advances and ends by blocking his retreat.
Men always want to be a woman's first love. Women like to be a man's last romance.

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.
A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.
A man can't be too careful in the choice of his enemies.
A pessimist is one who, when he has a choice of two evils, chooses both.
