I'm starting my 2011 travel posts with the Chinese New Year. I'm thinking since I really didn't have a New Year post, I'd just time it with the Chinese's since it would be later than the traditional new year, it being celebrated at February. But uhmm, it still took me almost two months before I can post this, so pardon the lateness as I'm terribly backlogged hehe.
Coming out from a whole night's work, I started out of the office by six in the morning and headed straight to Binondo. I haven't attended a Chinese New Year before and all I know about it is the little I've seen in news during these celebrations.
The day was still sleeping as I ventured through Ongpin's arch. The streets were empty and most stores were still closed. Fortunately, there were a few cafeterias open and since I haven't had breakfast yet, it was a perfect opportunity for me to have one while waiting for the celebrations to happen.
Established in 1594, Binondo is the oldest Chinatown in the world. Originally a place where Spaniards allowed Chinese Mestizos to reside, it has now become a business hub for the Filipino Chinese. A mix of stores selling jewelries, Chinese herbal medicines, charms and restaurants line its main street. Exploring its sidestreets, I found an even more assortment of Chinese related stores.
After some minutes of walking, the banging of drums got my attention; it seemed that the party was starting.
A flurry of street performers was parading down the streets breathing fire and dancing to the drumbeats. Not soon after, the dragon dances started, attracting multitudes with their hypnotic and colorful swirls. Fascinating really, especially for someone who's witnessing this for the first time.
The dance it seems bring good luck to the stores it performs in. The dance starts as the dragon chooses an establishment, performing in an undulating rhythm and seemingly swimming on air outside the street. It then enters the chosen store and is given food for consumption, and before exiting, the dragon is given a red envelope containing money. Right after, fireworks are lit outside and the dragon again dances through and around it.
This is repeated by different dragon groups through Chinatown and you can just wonder how it all fitted inside the slim alleys of Binondo.
As the day wore on, the empty morning streets I saw earlier was now nowhere to be found. Crowds of people now throng througn Binondo and it was a struggle to move from one place to the next.
I let the crowd be, and made way for the nearest restaurant. Time to try out Binondo's legendary Chinese dishes.

By Christopher S. Rugaber The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Americans are more optimistic the job market is healing and will deliver higher pay later this year.
That brighter outlook, along with rising home prices, cheaper gasoline and a surging stock market, could offset some of the drag from the recent tax increases and government spending cuts.
A gauge of consumer confidence rose in April, reversing a decline in March, the Conference Board, a private research group, said Tuesday. The board attributed the gain to optimism about hiring and pay increases. Economists also cited higher home values and record stock prices.
Despite the rise in the index, to 68.1 from 61.9 in March, confidence remains well below its historic average of 92. Still, the increase signaled that consumers, whose spending drives about 70 percent of the economy, see better times ahead.
A separate report Tuesday showed that home prices nationwide rose in February by the most in nearly seven years. The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index jumped 9.3 percent in February from a year earlier. Prices in all 20 cities rose on an annual basis for a second straight month.
The reports were released the same day the Federal Reserve's policymaking committee began a two-day meeting. Analysts expect the Fed to announce today that it will maintain its low interest rate policies, which include an $85-billion-a-month bond-buying program.
The Fed's bond purchases are intended to keep interest rates low to spur borrowing, spending and investing. Its policies have helped keep loan rates at record lows.
The Conference Board reported that Americans' confidence in their future income has rebounded strongly after falling in January, when Social Security taxes rose 2 percentage points.
The number of Americans who expect their income to rise within six months is higher - slightly - than the number who think it will fall, the first time that's been true since October.
That may be because wages have increased a bit recently. But it could also be because lower inflation has enabled Americans to stretch their paychecks further.
Over the past year, pay gains have been modest. Wages and salaries have risen only 1.6 percent in that time.

straight off looking at it, but also because of this post on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29316521&postcount=416 and it was posted on "25th July 2012″ which was quite a while ago now! And it is a 100% match to the "press release" images we have seen.

I thoroughly agree, the prices keeps going up but the service keeps going down. Yes the theater was nice when it first opened back in 1994 but nothing has been changed since 1994 considering it is 2009 now. The price of tickets are $9.50 now and manatee's are $8.50 which the time used to be 6pm by they lowered to 4pm and then to 2Pm and weekends, forget any discount on the weekends too as they want everybody to pay full price. Wow! Talk about a total rip-off!
They raise and raise the price but they haven't updated anything in the place. Whats the point to raise they're prices if they haven't changed anything. It seems their customer service has gotten worse and worse. I agree, they like people talk on cell phones, feet on the chairs, allow people to talk during the movies and they allow staff to due their homework on the ticket counter table. What kind of place is that?
I hate the SLO downtown theater or the movieexperience simply because it is too experience. [continued below]....

Themovieexperience raised their price again at the Fremont theater, Mission Cinemas? and Downtown Centre Cinema 7 Theatre and again folks
SUBMITTED: Saturday, June 05, 2010
Hey they did it again Themovieexperience raised the price again and again folks. The Fremont Theater, the Mission Cinemas and Downtown Centre 7 Cinema in San Luis Obispo is now $11.50, that's right a $11.50 per ticket, not exceptions. That's what they charge.
Think they care, not a darn.
And they even raised the price for 3D tickets to $13.50 too, wow, even if you bring your own glasses they still charge the same rip-off price. Amazing they continue to raise the price and rip people off. It is sad as they have not done a darn thing to make it affordable either.
Economy remains in recession and themovieexperience.com raises the prices faster than bean stock.
It is a shame that the Fremont Theater has horrible owners and the same with the Downtown
Theater Mission Cinemas? Downtown Theatre in
The upgrade is never going to happen but continue to raise raise and raise their prices again and again.
Will remain a ripoff for

Hey we go again The Movieexperience has done it again, raised their prices from $9.50 to $10.50. Went their on Sunday even and they wanted $10.50, place was completely empty. It sucked and the place was nothing but crap. The screen was all dirty, gum on the screens, spit and stinky chairs. Sound sounded like crap too.
The manager also would not allow buying bulk tickets to use separate times, if you buy 25 tickets, they want you to use them in one show only. What a crappy idea. When I go to the Regal or Palm theater, they give you a big discount if you big in bulk and you can watch any movie whenever you like.
The San Luis Obispo Downtown Theater just sucks and I hate going there.

Here is a 360 degree horizon panorama to be getting on with while I digest this data properly.

HAPS-1 360 degree Panorama - 2nd version
As HAPS-1 plummeted back to Earth after the balloon burst at 32,000m (106,000ft) the camera was able to capture some shots pointed towards the ground. Some of these are quite blurry as the gondola was spinning rapidly. It was also descending quite fast and so the point of view changed quite rapidly limiting the number of images that could be used. So this image has quite a few imperfections but still gives a nice impression of the view from 100,000ft above England. And is much more than I ever hoped for from this first attempt with a single camera.

Pai Gow Poker Prbabilities
When you begin to consider the pai gow poker probabilities you must remember that there are only three scenarios to the game. You either beat the banker, with your two hands, or the banker beats you, with their two hands, or you tie with the banker. A tie means you win one hand, and the banker wins one hand. Keep this in mind when you start considering the pai gow probabilities of your winning the next round.
In pai gow poker probabilities the highest probability is that you and the banker will have a tie. There is actually a 41.48% chance that you will be tied with the banker. There is only a 28.61% chance that you will win both hands, and beat the banker, but there is a 29.91% chance that the banker will have two hands that are better than yours. If you wish to win a sizable amount of cash, you need to take part in the Mister Money game! Visit the jeux de casino page at casinojeux.com!
There is something known as the house-edge that you must consider when you are thinking of your pai gow poker probabilities of winning. The house edge is the reason that the banker stands a better chance of having two winning hands, than the player does.
Remember that in this game you are playing against the banker, and what other players at the table do, or do not have is not a real concern of yours. Your two hands must beat the two hands of the banker, and no one else.
The banker in this game plays to win, and when they do win, they must pay the house a commission from their winnings. That is why they have the house edge over the player. If you factor the house edge into the pai gow poker probabilities, then you will see that the banker has a 2.73% greater chance of winning than you do, if the banker happens to be one of the players, and not the house itself, then the house edge against the banking player will be 1.46%. That still gives the person who is holding the bankroll the better chances of winning.
Remember that the point of the game is to have fun.

Very nice hotel and very friendly and helpful staff. Its location is perfect for families. The food were fantastic.
In a hotel like this, it is not satisfying ton not have free wifi.
good location and value for money compared to expensive hotels in LA.
the hotel is a little old and it is unreasonable to charge WIFI expense
The location was the main reason for staying at this hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
The room was not as clean as expected. The trash hadn't been taken out of the room and there was toothpaste residue on the counter in the bathroom. The hotel was nice but the rooms are a little outdated. The carpeting was noticeably old and extremely thin. Felt like I was walking on concrete.
Clean room's nice beds . Walking distance to universal studio's.
Restaurant s were expensive. Slow elevators.

There nothing I didn't like I love it all
Seafood buffet is great
Rooms very outdated Housekeeping needs improvement
food facilities near from los angeles turistics points
The bedding, service, valet and staff.
The food was close to the lobby and had a very strong smell.
Everything was great. We were only there for one night but really liked the facility, the courtesy bus to Universal Studios, the pool and spa, service, etc.
There was no complaints whatsoever. Excellent service, location and facility all round. What I'd expect from a Hilton.
money for all...
Location is excellent, Universal Studios is just a few steps from the hotel.
1. When I'd try to open one of the water bottles in the room I'd notice that the safety seal was broken, the 2 bottles was the same condition. With that note of course that I didn't feel safe to drink nothing else from the hotel room. 2. The bathroom was not clean properly, long hair all over the place, both of Us has short hair. Seems like the housekeeper didn't take enough time to at least sweep the floor, but the hair was in the bathtub, zinc counter, sofas. 3. Was a city view room, and the 1st thing that we notice when we open the draperies, is that the windows was completely full of stains, I mean all over the windows, not just a few spots.I guess the previous guest was a family with children but once again, the housekeeper team didn't take enough time to clean/inspect the room properly. I'd been staying in Hilton's all around the world for business trips or pleasure, even Im enroll in the Hilton Reward Program, but well seems like this particular location doesn't meet 100% the standards that you expect from the Hilton franchise.
Great upgrade Really appreciated. Location. Great Valet Staff and promptness to get your car.
Good location if you are going to Universal and want to walk back and forth to your room. Only like 1 mile.
Parking was $25 a day, you also had to pay for WIFI even in the lobby, the business center that is also at a fees, you have to rent a fax machine or photo copier if you wanted to use them and then you had to buy paper. Their is a long list of amenities, but every step we took was another fee.
Location is great.
Beds were too narrow for 2 people.
Good seafood in the hotel. Service is very good, especially waiter Jason. I appraciated his service. Spa is very good.
It's a little expensive compared with all the fee, parking is a little expensive, wifi in the room is charged by linked pieces. Although it provides free shuttle to Universal City, but not nearear. It need waiting or walk in 9 mins. Compare the price, it's not worth it.
Location, friendly saff
Expensive parking and wi fi
big bath room
ac sound
This hotel had spacious rooms and the beds were comfortable. Very close to universal and if you want to there is a nice swimming pool. The food in the bar was nice and well priced.
There was a lot of weddings at the hotels so sometimes it did not feel that you could move freely around the property. The computer was not working so could not buy tickets to Universal studios at the hotel and then Universal studio over charged me by charing me 5 times for the tickets and I am still trying to get $2000 back from them. Had to purchase adaptors for a 3 day stay when other hotels charge you a bond and rental which I would have preferred I now have a $30 adaptor that I will not use again.

A friend of mine was meeting up with me recently and asked me if I would like a bite to eat. Of course I can never refuse an offer for a free meal and I am glad I didn't. The New York Deli in Vienna is apparently quite popular, I had never heard of it and I was really impressed. The sandwiches come on a small loaf of baked bread that is just cool. It basically looks like they baked a 5 inch loaf , cut it in half, and used it to make your sandwich. The bread is soft, tasty, and it my favorite part of the sandwich. I got a wheat bread turkey sandwich with peppers, spicy mustard, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles. The ingredients were fresh and the vegetables had a nice crunch, which you don't really get at most sandwich places. The sandwich was pretty awesome and anyone who works in the Tyson's area needs to check out the New York Deli.

Hans Blix speaks at Lehigh March 16
Hans Blix, the former head of the U.N. weapons inspection team charged with finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, will share his uncensored views on the process he now criticizes when he speaks at Lehigh on Tuesday, March 16.
His talk, which is free and open to the public, will be at 7:30 p.m. in Baker Hall of Lehigh's Zoellner Arts Center. It is sponsored by the Visiting Lectures Committee.
Blix gained international recognition last year in the prelude to the war in Iraq, when Blix and his team tried to determine if Saddam Hussein was hiding weapons of mass destruction. While the U.S. and its allies pushed for justification for military action in Iraq, key opponents on the U.N. Security Council called for further inspections. Blix stood between the two factions, trying to fairly and impartially determine the true scope of Iraq's weapons program.
Initially circumspect about the process, Blix has recently become far more vocal in his criticism of both the Bush and Blair administrations, charging the administrations' officials with knowingly hyping the case for war, conducting a misguided "faith-based approach" instead of relying on facts, and even distorting the reports of weapons inspectors to justify an invasion of Iraq.
His opinions will be included in his book,
Disarming Iraq
, which will be released by Pantheon Books before his talk at Lehigh. In it, Blix recounts a play-by-play overview of the months of diplomacy and inspection efforts leading up to war and the resultant geo-political crisis.
Blix had been appointed by U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan in 2000 to head the United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC), and retired from that position in June 2003. Blix is now the chairman of the International Commission on Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Blix's talk follows that of Angela Davis, the former Black Panther and now prison reform activist who spoke on "How Gender Structures the Prison Industrial Complex" in late February, and tops an impressive roster of speakers who will share their diverse views with Lehigh audiences.
Upcoming speakers include:
Matthew Pearl, Wednesday, March 24
Pearl, the author of
The New York Times
' bestseller,
The Dante Club
, will discuss his book and the world of writing in a lecture titled "Hell, History & Mystery: A New England Inferno," at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 24 in Sinclair Laboratory Auditorium. Pearl's book is this semester's selection for "On the Same Page, Lehigh," a university-wide book group that meets to discuss works of both fiction and non-fiction. His talk is sponsored by the Friends of the University Libraries and the Lehigh Visiting Lectures Committee.
For more information, call (610) 758-3039.
Alan Kors, Wednesday, March 24
Kors, a professor of history at the University of Pennsylvania--where he authored, with Harvey Silverglate,
The Shadow University
--will discuss "The Betrayal of Liberty and Dignity on America's College Campuses," at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 24 in Room 303, Whitaker Hall. His talk is sponsored by the College Republicans, Young America's Foundation and the Visiting Lectures Committee.
For more information, call Neal Hoffman at (484) 894-5037, or at (610) 974-2185, or by
Edward S. Herman, Thursday, March 25
Herman, economist, author and media critic, will speak on "Does Mass Media Serve Our Democracy Well?" at 4:10 p.m. Thursday, March 25 in Neville I. His talk is co-sponsored by the Progressive Student Alliance and the Visiting Lectures Committee.

Ernesto Zedillo, Thursday, April 8
Zedillo, the former president of Mexico, will deliver the 17th Annual Cohen Lecture at 8 p.m. Thursday, April 8 in Baker Hall of the Zoellner Arts Center. A proponent of economic modernization policies, Zedillo is credited with the establishment of the Exchange Risk Coverage Trust Fund, the agency that made it possible to restructure the debt of Mexican companies during the early 1980s and preserve the jobs of thousands of Mexican workers. He also served as Mexico's secretary of public education prior to being elected to the office of the presidency in 1994.
The Cohen International Relations Lecture Series is made possible by an endowment from the late Bernard L. Cohen, a 1936 Lehigh graduate, and his wife, Bertha Finkelstein Cohen, a 1937 graduate of Moravian College.
For more information, call (610) 758-3898.
Barry Scheck, Tuesday, April 20
Scheck, the attorney and DNA expert perhaps best known for his role as part of the O.J. Simpson "dream team," will deliver this year's Tresolini Lecture at 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 20 in Packard Auditorium. Scheck, a longtime advocate for DNA testing, is co-founder of the Innocence Project, which has used DNA evidence to exonerate 123 wrongfully imprisoned people. He is the author of
Actual Innocence: Five Days to Execution and Other Dispatches from the Wrongly Convicted
, which
Publisher's Weekly
described as "an alarming wake-up call" that our current system of justice is seriously flawed.
The Tresolini Law Lecture series was established in 1978 in memory of Rocco Tresolini, a professor of political science at Lehigh and a widely acclaimed constitutional law scholar who died in 1967. Previous speakers have included distinguished scholars, lawyers and journalists, such as famed litigator David Boise, Antonin Scalia, Nina Totenberg, Lani Guinier, Morris Dees and Anthony Lewis.

Black Economic Council President Provides Testimony to CFPB Director Cordray
San Francisco, CA – On his most recent "Listening Tour," CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) Director Richard Cordray at the invitation of Greenlining Institute listened to the disheartening stories representing the thousands of minority community representatives who responded to his questions and inquiries as to the impact and achievements if any of the Independent Financial Review (IFR) Process.
Speaking from personal experience and those of several clients, Yolanda Lewis, the recently elected President of the Black Economic Council, a leading community and economic development non-profit serving the minority community in Bay Area gave first hand testimony to Director Cordray. Mrs. Lewis testified, "Just this past Sunday, one full page ad ran promoting the IFR, and only one radio spot – nothing more. With less than 45 days remaining, so little of our community is aware of the IFR and for those of us who did seek out a refinance out of our "exotic loans, the best we were offered was a balloon payment into another adjustable rate mortgage. Compounding this issue is that those of us who did apply had to reach out to the Market Presidents – a venue not available to the thousands of minority community members who have already lost their homes or are trying to refinance into a 30-year fixed mortgage not another ARM.
I ask you today to encourage that the IFR process be extended and that of the 14 banks do more to support the IFR process." "What shocks me is that of the three largest banks serving California, all of which are a part of the Department of Justice and recent Attorney General Settlements, the recent HMDA (Home Mortgage Disclosure Act) for 2011 reflects that of the 183,761 Home Refinancing Loans provided to Californians by these three banks, only 3,581 were made to Black Americans – that is less than 2%.[1] Yet again, our community is being steered away from conventional 30-year fixed loans into ARM's that will begin re-setting in 2013 and once again place our community on the precipice of default and foreclosure," reported Mrs. Lewis.
To learn more visit www.IndependentForeclosureReview.com for more information about the review and claim process which must be done by December 31, 2012.

Blown glass ceiling in the Bellagio
Fall decorations in the Bellagio
It's the Eiffel Tower!! JK.... just a hotel version.
Who doesn't love a road trip?! Especially when you haven't done one with your family in years... And this particular road trip was extra special because we were making our way to Utah for my best friend's wedding. My BFF and I have been close for almost 20 years so this was an event that couldn't be missed, and I was also a bridesmaid (my first time)! Pics from the day to come!
On the way to St. George, Utah you have to go through Las Vegas so my family and I decided to take some time and explore Vegas for a few hours before getting to our final destination. First we had scrumptious Indian food that we discovered thanks to an always useful friend, Yelp. Then we explored the Bellagio hotel, which was expertly decorated for fall with delightful pumpkin patches, flowers, and even an animatronic tree! Then my father and brother headed off to a casino for some gambling fun and free drinks while my mother and I traipsed about the shops in the Venetian hotel. Besides the constant shoving of prostitute calling cards in my face (why are they every where????), all in all it was a great spontaneous afternoon.
The key to any good road trip look is to be comfortable. That's why I choose these fun and comfy polka dot jeggings from American Eagle, and a simple white t that was spiced up with a neon scarf. Also, I am completely obsessed with this ModCloth bag above, the face and arms are too adorable. I have finally named him... his name is Wallace. Me thinks it a very fitting name for such a strapping young lad. Wallace and I became quite close over the trip, and I think it's a relationship that will last a lifetime.
Have you been to Vegas? What did you like or dislike? What is your go to road trip look?
Thanks for reading!

The new ACC/AHA/ESC Guidelines outline recommendations on the evaluation and treatment of patients who have or may be at risk for VA. Evaluation includes noninvasive and invasive techniques such as electrocardiography and electrophysiological testing. Possible therapies include pharmacological (drugs), devices, ablation (destruction of the affected area), surgery and revascularization. Acute and chronic therapies are addressed. Prognosis and management are individualized according to symptom burden and severity of underlying heart disease in addition to clinical presentation. In addition to recommendations in patients with specific pathology, cardiomyopathy and heart failure, specific populations are also covered, such as athletes, pregnant women, the elderly and pediatric patients.
One of the key updates in the 2006 document is that the implantation of devices now has a range of ejection fractions. Ejection fraction (EF) measures how effectively the heart's left ventricle pumps blood to the body. A normal, healthy heart has an EF in the range of about 50-70%.
"Prior to this document," says Douglas P. Zipes, M.D., M.A.C.C., F.A.H.A., F.E.S.C. and co-chair of the Guideline Writing Committee, "practitioners faced inconsistent recommendations for prophylactic ICD implantation based on ejection fractions, for example. The inconsistencies occurred because clinical investigators chose different ejection fractions for enrollment in trials of therapy, average values of the ejection fraction have been substantially lower than the cut off value for enrollment and subgroup analysis of clinical trial populations based on ejection fraction have not been consistent in their implications. The result was substantial differences among guidelines."
The Writing Committee also notes in the 2006 VA Guidelines that dif

Client is a mandated referral from the LAPD. Client was in a recent car accident in which his wife was killed but his son survived. Has acted out aggressively on at least one occasion. Client exhibits symptoms of mild PTSD, as well as a possible dissociative disorder, allowing him to experience a dream state in which the opposite has occurred - his wife is alive but his son is dead. Reluctant to grieve and refuses to acknowledge his loss, vis-a-vis his wife's existence in his dream "reality." In dissociative state, visits another "psychiatrist," who presents a seemingly convincing case that the dream state is, in fact, his true reality. Client is able to fulfill his duties at work, but co-workers and superiors are concerned that aggressive behavior may return. Dissociative state may temporarily act as a cushion to his grief, but I fear eventually it will become dangerous. Keeping the details straight in two "realities" will eventually become too taxing on his mind. This is a fascinating case study for many reasons, and over the next few months, I will endeavor to rehabilitate him, for the sake of his well-being and his career, as well as for the sake of his teenage son.

Under normal circumstances, confidentiality is a prime condition in establishing an effective therapeutic relationship. Without confidentiality there can be no trust; without trust there can be no therapy.

This was the first time he taught this class and he did a great job, he was wholeheartedly interested in the subject and is a musician himself. Made the class very interesting. Hardly any homework, easy A.
Jim's one of the best music teachers at NLC. He's funny and he really cares about his students. As long as you come to class and show your effort, you can get a good grade.
Quite possibly the best teacher I've ever had. He is very easy to get along with and is a beast at the guitar and bass. He definatly knows what hes talking about. And he's just a foxy guy in general.
Took his music appretiation class during summerII it was boring..his lectures will make u fall asleep...test are not too easy...grading is fair...he's helpful and will work with you so you can pass.....

Comic-Con comes to a (bloody) end, and tonier gatherings await
In this morning's roundup of movie news 'n' notes from around the web, Comic-Con comes to a (bloody) end, and tonier gatherings await.
"Scott Pilgrim" wowed 'em, a fan got stabbed in the face, and hundreds of tweeters and bloggers were there to write about it all. TheWrap's exhaustive Comic-Con coverage is here, while among the others paying attention was Kris Tapley, who sums up the event by calling it "a symbiosis that plays right into the hands of studio marketing chiefs." Despite the fact that he says the event seems to be run by "oblivious fools," he kind of likes it. The two films that took advantage of the opportunities provided by Comic-Con, he says, were "Cowboys & Aliens" and "Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World" (below). (In Contention)
At Videogum, meanwhile, "Gabe" sums up the event differently, with words like "total failure." His main complaint: it's too crowded, and too commercialized, and too uncomfortable, and did he mention too crowded? For similar complaints, read the coverage of every Comic-Con for the last decade or so. Says Gabe: "To clarify: long, insufferable lines are so commonplace at Comic-Con, that were you to simply stand in the wrong place, people might LINE UP BEHIND YOU FOR NO DISCERNIBLE REASON." (Videogum)
Marvel's production president Kevin Feige got a lot of heat for his unusually candid announcement of why Edward Norton was not going to be reprising his role as the Incredible Hulk in the "Avengers" movie (the gist is that he thinks Norton isn't a team player). But he's not feeling any regrets, despite a public scolding from Norton's agent at WME, among others who felt the exec violated all kinds of Hollywood protocol. "It's something that I think needed to be very clear," an unrepentant Feige tells Kyle Buchanan. (Movieline)
Erik Davis trots out an annual feature: "the Hottest of Comic-Con." In the past, it's been heavy on scantily-clad women on the convention center floor; this time around, in the interests of equality, he throws in guys as well. This year's installment features lots of movie characters, spandex galore, only two Princess Leia slave-girl metal bikinis, plus an array of Disney characters (though I don't remember Belle with tan lines, and I know Tinkerbelle didn't used to have this much cleavage). Near the end, the fan shots give way to some ringers – because, let's face it, how many guys at Comic-Con can hold a candle to a publicity photo of Daniel Craig in "Cowboys & Aliens?" None, that's how many. (Cinematical)
Moving to big events that take a slightly higher-brow approach, indieWIRE compiles a list of 40 "films to look for" at September's Venice and Toronto film festivals. "[I]t's possible a good portion of Oscar's 2010 top 10 could very well come from … Venice and Toronto premieres," they say, and their "tip of the iceberg" list includes new films from Danny Boyle, the Coen Brothers, Julian Schnabel, Clint Eastwood, David O Russell, Julie Taymor, Peter Weir, Gus Van Sant and Sofia Coppola, among many others.

More lists: Matt Zoller Seitz approaches 15 writers and filmmakers and asks them to share "the movie experience I can't forget." The subsequent slide show starts with "The Thing" in a seedy Times Square theater (critic Andrew O'Hehir's choice) and ends with "Striptease" at a discount house (director Daniel McKleinfeld's pick); in between, it covers everything from "Leprechaun" to "The Empire Strikes Back," from "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" to Peter Greenaway's "The Falls." (Salon)
Okay, this is just getting too dense. A.O. Scott wades into the deep waters of "Inception," crafting a think piece about the movie … the anticipation for the movie … the initial reaction to the movie … the second round of reaction to the movie … the reaction to the second round of reaction … the reaction to the reaction to the reaction … the new reaction when the movie actually came out … the reaction to that reaction … the debate about the meaning of the movie … and how it's all sort of backwards. I'd say it's all gotten way more confusing than the movie itself. (The New York Times)
Producer Dean Zanuck – yes, he's one of those Zanucks – talks to Irene Lacher about getting his acclaimed indie film "Get Low" off the ground. The bottom line: it wasn't easy. Even with a (relatively) paltry $7 million budget, Zanuck says he couldn't persuade most financiers to take a chance on a original movie about an old man who decides to throw a funeral for himself while he's still alive. "We needed to find rich people who believed in us and believed in the story," he says. And he swears he didn't use that last name to help round up the rich people. (Los Angeles Times)

"Very impressed w/result"

These blinds are just what they are explained to be they glide on a track easily overlap slightly and allow a light filtered view through. They darken the room slightly but it feels open b/c you can still see the backyard in my case.

LeBron James: I don't give a (bleep)
LeBron is an amateur.
It's been done before. He's not the first player professional sports to spark rampant speculation and place false dreams in the eyes and hearts of millions of fans. Fans were sick and tired of it when it the last guy did it, and that's a tough act to follow.
King James has managed to infiltrate office conversations, online forums, and every blog and news site ever created during a time when we should really be focused on more important things like the NBA Finals or the passing of a legend. Conversations that extend well beyond the normal boundaries of imagination. Ideas that will never happen in a million years.
Ideas like LeBron going to Portland to team up with Greg Oden.
Or how about LeBron to the Mavericks? (This one is actually cleverly written and has been commented on by Mark Cuban via Twitter: "Got to love [our] Mav fans!" -- worth a read)
How about a recently written B/R article that has LeBron going to San Antonio to play alongside the great Tim Duncan?
Apparently Bill Simmons has even chimed in saying that the Washington Wizards are in the Top 5 of the "LeBron Sweepstakes".
My personal favorite, and one that I wouldn't mind seeing, comes from the Miami Herald that claims the Heat could end up with LeBron, Wade, and still do a sign and trade with Bosh to create a dominate trio.
So here's the deal -- it doesn't matter right now. None of it. At least, not until July 1st. Even then things are going to have to develop for weeks before something major will happen.
I can't take the constant barrage of "what if" scenarios for the next three and a half weeks. Especially the ones that make absolutely no sense.
A couple of things for everyone to consider if you can't wait for your team to get your hands on LeBron so he can instantly (and magically in some cases) make your team a perennial playoff contender:
- If your team doesn't put LeBron in a better situation than he has in Cleveland -- why is he going to leave?
- If your team doesn't have cap space, you're out of the running. The end. You can't afford LeBron, and you can't afford any of the superstars he wants to play with.
- If your team is not in a big market city -- no chance. LeBron wants to be global. Oklahoma City doesn't cut it.
So I make a final plea to all writers, bloggers, etc. -- do us a favor and show some restraint. Nobody knows where LeBron is going right now -- not even the King himself. Your continuous flow of articles and segments on the subject is getting boring and monotonous. The only plus to your persistence is the creation of an article such as this that admittedly stands as ironic.
Kobe said it best: "I'm trying to tell you in a polite way, I don't give a [bleep]".
What is the duplicate article?
Why is this article offensive?
Where is this article plagiarized from?
Why is this article poorly edited?

I've been wearing this color for about a week and I love it! It's a shimmery taupey color...sorta silvery brownish and it picks up some purple (slightly) at certain angles on me. I am warm toned (I'm about a C3 right now) with brown eyes and I think it looks really nice on me. I think it goes with several lip colors too because even though it's nicely pigmented, it's a more subtle color if used as a crease shade. I put All That Glitters on my lid and this on the crease and it looks nice for daytime. Stay away if you don't like shimmer though. The packaging is pretty cheap, small and plastic. It stays closed though so I have no real complaints there. Overall, I love it, I'm super happy with it and I'll buy another one when it gets used up. Yay.

WnW has been getting a lot of buzz lately since it has discontinued a lot of products, introduced new products, and revamped its packaging. Good on ya, WnW.... your packaging went from cheap, ugly plastic... to cheap, ugly plastic. But we never liked WnW for the packaging. WnW has fans because you can come away with a new lipstick for less than the price of a soda, and sometimes the product is quite good. Nutty, one of the new eyeshadow singles, is quite good. Incidentally, the new eyeshadows have less product than the old ones (0.06 oz as opposed to .1oz), but they're still quite inexpensive at 1.99$, and hey, you could probably actually hit pan with Nutty! Cool, right? Nutty is a cool light shimmery brown. I'd personally say that it's a little too brown to be considered taupe, but it's definitely headed in that direction. I'm very impressed with how pigmented it is. It's a tremendous everyday shade for all over the lid. It looks great with purples, browns and charcoals in the crease. It's also incredibly flattering on blue eyes, but I think that it would be nice on any NW complexion and any eye color.

250 and 6'2 and pretty strong and kinda pudgy but not where I wanna be...... what cycle should a rookie use?
Clean calorie deficit. Specifics on what "pudgy" is would be helpful. you could go with mild ph's like epistane or halodrol but results will be dependent on your training and diet.
I'm just curious as to why the first thought in your head is to do a steroid cycle?
Cuz ppl think steroids give u magical powers, and u don't have to do sh*t.Originally Posted by ManBeast
My impression of steroid use was to always proceed with caution and only cycle when your body has reached, or is nearing, it's natural limit. The only exception to this would be in order to overcome a plateau... but what do I know?
No your totally right bro.Originally Posted by ejschmidt
First off to my knowledge this should be in the anabolic section. Second, tell us about your training split, how is your diet? How long have you been lifting? What are your major lifts currently at? How old are you?
That's it I have lifted for a long time and really haven't ten stronger even after changing work outs focusing on other workouts monthly I'm just plateaued I feel like believe me it's def not the first thing I wanted to do like y'all think I'm scared of the repercussions but I want an edge I know the **** just doesn't give u muscles and makes u stronger with out hard work. I'm a fan of being mentally strong then physically strong. But my physical plateau is also plateauing mental strength at this point
I'm new to the steroid game myself but from the research I've been conducting, testosterone is a must to consider how your body will react when starting out, I know winstrol is good for a cutting cycle maybe look at throwing winny / and test together for a first cycle, but as I said before I'm new and only have a few PH's as experience under my belt.

Opinion: Finding an economic model for high-tech, efficient healthcare
A nagging issue for healthcare reformers is the disincentive for many providers to adopt innovative approaches to care that improve health and cut costs. If you're paid a fee for each service you provide in your office, why would you invest in technologies and procedures that led to fewer billable services? One reason is to achieve better results, and that's good enough for some providers. But the Medicare program is supplying another rationale. It started cracking down last year on hospitals that readmit too many patients soon after discharging them. That penalty has led hospitals to pay more attention to technologies that can keep track of patients' progress at home, according to Anthony Shimkin, a senior marketing director for Qualcomm Life.

Event detail
FOCUS: Dion Salvador Lloyd
28. Sep - 11. Oct 13 / ended Saffron GalleryFree entry
10.00am - 5.00pm Mon-Sat
FOCUS: Dion Salvador Lloyd
As part of our Autumn Exhibition 2013, we focus on 12 new and recent paintings by the acclaimed painter Dion Salvador Lloyd. Dion exhibits with galleries in London and throughout the UK as well as the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, The Discerning Eye, The Royal Society of Oil Painters and the Royal West of England Academy.
Working in oils, Dion Salvador Lloyd creates abstractions of both mark making and texture that simply beckon you in. Once there, it is for you, the viewer, to find and decide on what is land, sea and sky. There is no truth of the image here, only a choice on your part as to what it is you want to see within the space he has created. They are not demanding or abrasive in any way, but instead have a feeling of infinity about them. His approach is more suggestive than descriptive, allowing the viewer to bring their own interpretation to each piece.

How to Take Care of Your New Tattoo:
- Keep the bandage on the tattoo for at least two hours after the work is complete (or longer, depending on the tattoo artist's instructions)
- Remove the bandage very carefully and throw it away. This allows your skin to breathe and begin the healing process. Do not rebandage the tattoo
- Put a drop of mild antibiotic soap on your hand and lightly wash the tattoo. Gently pat it dry with a washcloth (not a paper towel) taking care not to rub it
- Dab an over-the-counter water- or petroleum-based ointment on the cleaned area. Do not use an ointment that contains zinc as it may cause an adverse reaction
- Continue to lightly apply antibiotic ointment to your tattooed skin for the first few days, then switch to a plain skin lotion that is free of dye, perfume, lanolin, Vitamin E, aloe or alcohol
- Expose your healing skin to air as much as possible but avoid prolonged exposure to the sun
- Avoid getting a lot of water on your new tattoo - showers are OK, but no swimming or baths for a few weeks
Package Included:
- 1 x High Quality Aluminum Alloy Rotary Tattoo Machine

Truthfully, most cars can run on regular gasoline even when they "recommend" premium. It's the "requires" premium you'll have to watch out for and read the owner's manual fuel requirements carefully. A modern engine's computer can compensate for lower octane gasoline to run the fuel safely, though there's typically a tradeoff in performance and fuel economy.
High-compression engines and engines using superchargers and turbochargers are more susceptible to engine knocking and need higher octane fuel to keep fuel burn in control. Usually relegated to performance and luxury cars, high compression engines and turbochargers are finding their way into more pedestrian cars because in many applications they increase the efficiency of smaller engines.
2013 Acura ILX Hybrid
Owner's manual: "Unleaded premium gasoline, pump octane number 91 or higher. Use of lower octane gasoline can cause occasional metallic knocking noise in the engine and will result in decreased engine performance. Use of gasoline with a pump octane less than 87 can lead to engine damage."
2013 Chevrolet Volt
A GM representative has told us the Volt can run on regular in an emergency, but premium should be used for maximum fuel economy and performance.
Owner's manual: "Use premium unleaded gasoline with a posted octane rating of 91 or higher. If the octane is less than 91, you could damage the engine."
2013 Dodge Dart Aero with turbocharged 1.4-liter
Dodge's most-efficient Dart trim level is the Aero that has a 41 mpg highway rating with a six-speed manual transmission and turbocharged 1.4-liter engine. The Aero has some aerodynamic features that other turbocharged Darts don't, and when running on premium gas, this specific model delivers the 41 mpg estimate.
Owner's manual: "This engine is designed to meet all emission regulations and provide satisfactory fuel economy and performance when using high-quality unleaded regulargasoline having an octane rating of 87. For optimum performance and fuel economy the use of 91 octane or higher is recommended."
2012 Fiat 500 (non-turbo)
Owner's manual: "Your vehicle is designed to meet all emission regulations and provide satisfactory fuel economy and performance when using high-quality unleaded gasoline having an octane range of 87 to 91. The manufacturer recommends the use of 91 octane or higher for optimum performance."

June 29, 2012 Senior Airman Bryan Swink / 379th Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs / AFNS – defpro.com
SOUTHWEST ASIA | Members of the 379th Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron Propulsion Flight have implemented a new process that reduces the propeller maintenance repair cycle time for the C-130 Hercules here.
"We are really excited about this process because the new two- and three-day flow processes we implemented have increased our (average time on wing) from 585 hours in September to more than 2,000 hours now," said Master Sgt. Shawn Davis, the 379th Propulsion Centralized Repair Facility flight chief. "This means much less time on the ground and more aircraft in the air accomplishing the mission."
This is a vast improvement from when this process took between four and five days.
The flight consists of 16 men and women from six different bases, both active duty and Guard.
"We produce approximately 225 C-130 propellers, which saves the Air Force more than $60 million in depot repair and transportation cost annually," said Davis, who is here from the 461st Air Control Wing at Robins Air Force Base, Ga.
The first step in the maintenance stage is the acceptance area. This is where the propeller is received and the crew reviews the flight hours to determine which maintenance process it will undertake.
"I'm the first person to have eyes on the propeller," said Senior Airman Joshua Smith, a 379th Propulsion CRF technician.
"I make sure we have all the necessary parts to build up the prop," said Smith, who is here from the 19th Component Maintenance Squadron at Little Rock AFB, Ark. "I do a thorough inspection before we start the breakdown."
Once the receiving inspection is completed, the crew begins the initial tear down process. The small parts are removed, inspected and repaired, if needed.
"We individually inspect about 12 different parts here," said Senior Airman Anthony Gugino, a 379th Propulsion CRF technician. "If there are any repairs needed, like the front spinner or pump control assembly, we will make all those repairs in the shop."
The propeller moves on to the post-test area where either operational-centered maintenance or reliability-centered maintenance is conducted.
If the propeller has less than 1,250 flight hours, operational-centered maintenance will be conducted to ensure everything is within limits and no blade leaks are found. This process generally takes two days to complete.
For propellers with more than 1,250 flight hours, the crew will perform reliability-centered maintenance. During this three-day process, the crew will split the hub and remove all four blades to inspect the area.
After completion of the post test, the crew begins the buildup process and installs all serviceable parts. The propeller is then test-cell prepared to ensure it is safe. The test cell process is designed to perform multiple functional checks to ensure there are no leaks and everything is operating as it should.
"The test cell is the most rewarding part of this whole process," said Airman 1st Class Nicholas Steffen, a 379th Propulsion CRF technician, originally assigned to the 355th Component Maintenance Squadron at Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz. "We test all the parts to ensure the maintenance and repairs we did were done correctly. After a successful test, we know we are putting out a serviceable propeller to keep the C-130s in the air."
When the test cell team finishes their leak and operation check, they perform a comprehensive final inspection. Once the propeller passes the inspection, it is wrapped for supply where it becomes a serviceable asset.
"Because of the success of this new process, we are working to incorporate this plan at all C-130 back shops to increase our mission capabilities," said Davis.

This collection of web galleries represents recent work from assignments and personal work. Galleries will be added as new work continues. After a while galleries will be removed. The work is in a contant state of flux.
Individual galleries are presented as they were first presented to clients or friends and generally as a first take on the images captured at one period of time. Occasionally, a collection of images is revisted and the work changes, images are worked on in Photoshop instead of Lightroom or new choices are made. Once this happens the images are moved into new collections and will eventually appear here in another collection of galleries.
