Wallace Stevens (October 2, 1879 – August 2, 1955 / Pennsylvania / United States)
The Planet On The Table
Ariel was glad he had written his poems.
They were of a remembered time
Or of something seen that he liked.

Superb analysis by Gary Witt. Great job helping keep poetry alive. Stevens is amazing.
William F Dougherty
The Planet On the Table unlocks with two keys: Planet is Steven's Collected Poems; Ariel is the poet,
Wallace Stevens. -
Gary Witt
"Ariel" seems to me an odd choice for the name of the character/focus of this poem. The word comes from the Hebrew, meaning "Lion of God." It is a name sometimes associated with Jerusalem. (See, e.g., Isaiah 29: 1-7) . There is an archangel named Ariel, the angel of healing, Earth, and creation. Ariel is also one of the moons of Uranus, but I'm afraid I do not know why Stevens would single it out here. He might have selected Ariel simply because it is extremely distant and remote. It is not the largest of Uranus's moons, but neither is it the smallest. One could argue, I suppose, that Ariel is one of the least-important features of our solar system. That is just a guess, however.
Ariel's poems are "makings of the sun, " which hold special nostalgic value to the poet. They may have no value at all to anyone else (but see below, re their "affluence") . Other makings of the sun, for example, are "waste and welter, " or waste, confusion, and turmoil. Death is part of that waste and welter, for the "ripe shrub writhed, " presumably in death. (BTW, I love the alliteration and internal rhyme of that line.)
Ariel's poems, however, are not only makings of the sun; they are also "makings of his self, " because he and the sun "were one." Unity and the philosophical concept of "the One" are themes found in various poems by Stevens. Cf., Continual Conversation with a Silent Man. The sun and a small moon at the edge of the solar system are "one." Despite our impermanence, can we as humans be any less than a part of that "oneness? " (This may also say something about the creative process, and the need for an artist to be in touch with the Jungian collective consciousness.)
The idea that Ariel's poems are makings of the sun imparts a sense of permanence to them. Stevens, however, undercuts this notion in the last two stanzas when he says, "It was not important that they survive." It is only important that they bear some distinctive feature or characteristic (lineament) , some wealth or affluence "if only half-perceived." Stevens (or rather, Ariel) is not seeking immortality in his work; only some degree of value "in the poverty of [its] words." He will be content if his work is discovered by chance, and even partially understood. There is recognition of the smallness of Ariel's life, the vastness of the universe, and the impermanence of anything human.
Still, Ariel's poetry does maintain some importance in the overall scheme of things. It is of the same importance as a planet. His work amounts to a planet on the table; nowhere near the physical size of a planet, but no less important.
Note that it is the work that is important, not Ariel.
This is one of the last poems contained in Stevens' Collected Poems. It seems to be a fitting summation of the poet's attitude toward, and aspirations for, his work.

Banff TV festival to honour former Kids in the Hall member Mark McKinney
Banff TV festival to honour former Kids in the Hall member Mark McKinney
Last Updated: Wednesday, May 20, 2009 | 2:37 PM ET at CBC News
(Note: CBC does not endorse and is not responsible for the content of external sites – links will open in new window)
Writer, comedian and former Kids in the Hall member Mark McKinney will receive the Peter Ustinov Award next month, organizers of the Banff World Television Festival announced on Wednesday.
The honour, presented as part of the annual industry conference, recognizes comedy excellence. Past winners include John Cleese, Dame Edna, Martin Short, Tracy Ullman, Bob Newhart and Rick Mercer.
"I am humbled to find myself in such great company with the previous Sir Peter Ustinov Award recipients — all comedians I have long admired. I am thrilled," McKinney said in a statement.
He will receive the award at a ceremony on June 8. The festival, celebrating its 30th edition, runs June 7-10.
Though still often associated with the beloved Canadian sketch comedy troupe Kids in the Hall, McKinney has built up a strong resume both in front of and behind the camera.
His credits include co-creating, writing and starring in the Canadian theatre world's satirical miniseries Slings and Arrows as well as writing and acting in the much-touted but short-lived NBC drama Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.
His film roles range from the Kids in the Hall film Brain Candy to Guy Maddin's The Saddest Music in the World.
Most recently, McKinney has returned behind the camera as producer, senior story editor and showrunner for the dark Canadian TV comedyLess Than Kind.
"McKinney's original characters and unconventional sketches have become a part of pop culture," said festival head Peter Vamos.
"Whether as creator, producer or actor in many memorable comedic productions, Mark has made an impressive contribution to the international film and television comedy landscape."
Earlier this month, festival organizers announced that Canadian-born Victor Garber — known for his extensive credits from the worlds of TV, film and theatre — will receive an Award of Excellence in recognition of his "career accomplishments and his extraordinary contributions to the television industry."

God and the Smilies
By InterrobangPie - Added On 6/5/2010
A very old (2007) glitch-infested game of mine which I only recently found.
You play the role of God. Below you are a small collection of smilies. It is up to you - do you make them happy, or do you torture them?
New powers can be unlocked by doing various things in the game (eg. making them happy).
Enjoy. ;)

Lymphedema Therapy Services at St. Clair Hospital
What is Lymphedema?
Lymphedema – an accumulation of lymphatic fluid in tissue – causes swelling of a body part or parts. Although the condition can occur without any obvious cause, most cases result from injury, trauma, chronic infection of the lymph system, scarring or excision of the lymph nodes. Learn more
Causes of Lymphedema
There are two types of lymphedema – primary and secondary. Primary lymphedema can be present at birth or develop at the onset of puberty or adulthood from an unknown cause. Secondary lymphedema, or acquired lymphedema, can result from surgery, radiation, infection or trauma. Secondary lymphedema can develop immediately following surgery, or take weeks, months or even years to become evident.
Risks for Developing Lymphedema
Individuals with the following conditions have a greater risk of developing lymphedema:
- breast cancer patients who have received radiation therapy or who have had a node dissection;
- prostate cancer patients treated via whole-pelvic irradiation or surgery;
- gynecologic cancer patients who have undergone radical surgery and node dissection or radiation therapy;
- individuals with advanced testicular cancer; and/or
- individuals with a diagnosed metastatic disease, such as ovarian, colorectal, pancreatic or liver cancer that can cause destruction of the existing lymphatic vessels and/or lymph drainage.
Symptoms of Lymphedema
Since early diagnosis and treatment greatly improve an individual's prognosis, it is essential to know the signs and symptoms of lymphedema or lymphangitis (infection). Seek medical attention if you experience any of the following:
- red, blotchy skin or discoloration of the skin
- itching of the affected area
- a "full" sensation in the limb(s)
- decreased flexibility in the limb(s)
- difficulty fitting into clothing
- tightness in a specific area, including the finger or wrist
- pain in the limb(s)
- sudden onset of high fever and/or chills
Reducing the Risk of Lymphedema
Individuals can reduce the risk of developing lymphedema by following these guidelines:
Skin Care Tips
- Keep extremities dry and clean at all times
- Apply moisturizer to skin daily
- Apply sunscreen and insect repellent when outdoors
- Never cut cuticles when having a manicure or pedicure
- Use an electric shaver to avoid nicks and skin irritation
- Avoid punctures, including injections or blood draws, when possible
- Wear gloves when gardening, washing the dishes, or using strong chemicals or detergents
- Use deodorants rather than antiperspirants to keep pores open
- Wash cuts, scratches, punctures or insect bites immediately with soap and water, apply an antibacterial ointment and observe for signs of infection (e.g., redness)
- Contact your physician immediately if you develop redness, itching, pain, increased skin temperature, and/or fever or flu-like symptoms
Activity and Lifestyle Tips
- Get plenty of low-impact exercise, such as walking, biking or swimming, or join a specially prescribed exercise program.
- Maintain good nutrition by limiting salt intake and fried foods, and eating plenty of fruits and vegetables.
- Refrain from smoking and limit consumption of alcoholic beverages.
- Avoid lifting and/or carrying heavy objects.
Managing Lymphedema
Currently, there is no cure for lymphedema, and no medication has been found to be effective. Therefore, prevention is the very best way to manage the condition. To help prevent lymphedema:
- pay meticulous attention to arm care management;
- recognize the signs and symptoms of infection (pain, redness, swelling, fever); and
- seek immediate treatment if signs and symptoms of lymphedema develop.
St. Clair Hospital's Lymphedema Treatment Service
St. Clair Hospital's certified lymphedema therapist is dedicated to providing personalized care to individuals suffering from lymphedema. The specially trained therapist provides treatment via a variety of techniques, including manual lymph drainage or massage, compression bandaging (including the use of sleeves and/or stockings), exercise and skin care. Additional education is provided to patients so they can continue treatment at home.
Insurance Coverage
While lymphedema treatment is covered by most health insurance plans, patients may have to supplement their insurance depending on their individual health plan. Please contact your health insurance company to determine your level of coverage.
To Schedule an Appointment
To schedule an appointment or for more information, please call 412.942.3499 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. A referral and prescription for treatment from a primary care physician are required.

The "Man" Behind the Curtain
In Wide-Format Imaging's annual look at the digital RIP market, we offer a sampling of the most popular software solutions from ten different wide-format workflow vendors.
EFI (Electronics For Imaging)
With its Fiery RIP entrenched in the wide-format market, users find it painless to move across to EFI's workflow control solution. More wide-format PSPs are considering MIS investments to streamline workflows and lower costs in the form of less consumables waste and more efficient productivity. This theme clearly was evident at drupa as well as at the annual EFI Connect user group meeting one month before the big show. A Las Vegas highlight in April was the Digital Workflow Experience—a live demonstration that showed an integrated workflow from submission to output. The demo followed a job from submission using EFI Digital StoreFront web-to-print solution, to both EFI Pace and EFI Monarch print MIS systems, to EFI PrintFlow, to a Fiery production RIP server, and then to the VUTEk GS3250LX and/or the new EFI R3225 printer, illustrating how a seamless workflow can save time, while reducing errors and waste.
ErgoSoft US
PosterPrint Version 14 is ErgoSoft's PostScript RIP for production in large-format print and print-and-cut workflows. V14 combines its JobComposer layout interface with the automatable color management tools for spot color replacement, allowing for production with minimal waste. Optional features include contour cutting, variable data, and production features for job costing and estimation.
At drupa, ErgoSoft and Tucanna presented a complete and fully automated workflow solution, from job submission to preflight, color management, and through RIPing. The system is based on Tucanna's tFlow and ErgoSoft RIP V14.1. tFlow is a client/server solution that runs on Mac OS X and Windows allowing for cross platform integration, and includes all tools for workflow optimization and automation.
"The combination of high quality color management and preflighting tools, as well as the 'ease of use' strategy of Tucanna, allowed our users to build a scalable and fully configurable workflow to meet their growing needs," said Hans Peter Tobler CEO of ErgoSoft.
GMG Americas
At the FESPA Digital show in Barcelona in February, GMG launched into the wide-format market with a solution that offers flexibility and the application of precise color management to a variety of output devices. Its ProductionSuite is a flexible model, allowing an upgrade path for single-user, single-printer environments all the way through to much larger operations. It comprises an editing suite, a RIP, a profiler, and PrintStation. The firm's heritage in color management packages means that spot colors, whites, and silvers are incorporated neatly within the workflow; it also carries over features from its established solutions in the production print space, such as integrated preflighting, last minute PDF corrections and workflow optimization.
ONYX Graphics
ProductionHouse X10.2 is the firm's premiere RIP software that creates custom color media profiles and uses a combination of inks and output devices such as grand-format, large-format, and flatbed printers, as well as cutters. ONYX is the only HP RIP partner to achieve HP Professional Pantone Emulation certification.
ONYX PosterShop X10.2 offers support for production printers allowing a singular and uniform approach to controlling color printing. It includes two wide-format (up to 60 inches) print drivers out of the box, with the option to add extra printer licenses.
SA International
In February, SA International (SAi) introduced PixelBlaster print-to-finish software, an end-to-end system that covers pre-flight to production. Modular and scalable, the PDF-based program is a single solution delivering a customer-selected suite of workflow applications that can drive an operation's entire large-format print hardware line up. PixelBlaster has been designed to reduce bottlenecks, streamline workflows, and increase profitability. A template-based Variable Data Printing option personalizes text, graphics, and images.

Danny Williams flies to U.S. health clinics, just like Jean Chretien did
Medicare is for the little people. Big shots fly to the U.S.
Here's Danny Williams in 2008, speaking passionately about our socialist health care system (h/t sda):
Do you hear the dripping disdain he has for anyone who dares to even question the sanctity of socialist medicine?
Yet here's Williams today, making plans to get the hell out of our health care system when it comes to someone he cares about -- that is, himself.
His constituents can rot on a waiting list. Not for him, the King of the Island.
At least he isn't lying about it, and at least he's not using taxpayers money to fly there.
Unlike Jean Chretien. Here's my scoop from a few years back:
PM proves health care not equal for all Canadians
Calgary Herald
Tue Jan 15 2002
Page: A15
Section: Comment
Byline: Ezra Levant
Source: For The Calgary HeraldHow will Jean Chretien respond to Premier Ralph Klein's free market-health care proposals?
Will he attack Alberta, as he did in the last federal election campaign, with negative ads on television, accusing Klein of bringing U.S.-style health care to Canada?
Or will he punish Alberta financially, as he did in the mid-1990s, by threatening to fine Alberta, dollar for dollar, for inviting private capital into health care?
Whatever Chretien does to our province, and whatever capitalistic acts he accuses Klein of engaging in, Albertans should know this: Jean Chretien takes his own family to private health clinics. In fact, he doesn't just use U.S.-style private clinics. He actually goes to private clinics in the U.S.
And he flies to those U.S. private clinics on Canadian government jets, paid for by Canadian tax dollars.
According to access-to-information documents obtained by the Canadian Alliance, on Feb. 8, 1999, Chretien and two aides flew from Vancouver to Minnesota, home of the Mayo Clinic. According to air force flight logs, they flew back to Ottawa that afternoon with Chretien's daughter. And on Dec. 11 of the same year, Chretien went back to the clinic, this time just with his wife and his aide.
These trips were courtesy of the Canadian Forces 412th Squadron, which has flown literally thousands of nautical miles taking Chretien back and forth to the clinic.
There is nothing wrong with Chretien wanting the very best in health care for his family -- even better care than he thinks he can get in Canada.
And there is probably nothing wrong with him spending tax dollars to fly to these international clinics. For security reasons alone, the prime minister should not have to fly on regular, commercial flights like the rest of us.
But it is wrong for Chretien to avail his family of private, U.S. health care while condemning Alberta for wanting to provide that same quality of care to all our citizens.
Of course, Chretien is not the first Canadian politician to receive private care.
Robert Bourassa, the late Quebec premier, flew to the U.S. for cancer treatment. Joe Clark, the leader of the federal Progressive Conservatives, paid cash for a suite at Toronto's private Shouldice Hospital, where he had a hernia operation in the late 1980s.
Clark tried to explain that he wasn't guilty of secretly using two-tier health care, which he had publicly campaigned against. "It's not a tier, it's a particular facility," Clark explained to reporters.
Chretien was almost caught by the press, too, on his Feb. 8, 1999, trip.
Normally, no one would have known about Chretien's whereabouts that day. The official line was that Chretien was with his family in British Columbia -- with no mention of the stop-over in the U.S.
But then King Hussein of Jordan died.
Chretien was supposed to be at the funeral, but he didn't go. He wanted to go to the clinic in Minnesota, instead. So he claimed that the air force couldn't get him to Jordan in time.
"I was in British Columbia," he told Parliament. "It was physically impossible for me to get to Amman," he said. "I went skiing with my grandchildren."
It might have been embarrassing to miss a world leader's funeral because of a family vacation.
But Chretien's advisers thought it would be much worse to admit to using a private U.S. clinic. In Chretien style, the decision was made to tough it out, and stand by the Vancouver-skiing-couldn't-make-it excuse.
Under extreme political pressure, the air force released an unsigned press release, saying it had let down Chretien by not being ready.
No mention was made of the Minnesota flight. And the next day, Gen. Maurice Baril, then the Chief of Defence Staff, held a press conference to personally accept the blame. Again, no mention of the Minnesota flight.
But air force log books aren't subject to political cleanups: they show that Chretien wasn't in Vancouver on Feb. 8, 1999. At 7:55 a.m., he flew to Minnesota, and stayed there until 4:50 p.m., when he returned to Ottawa.
So the next time Chretien accuses Klein of promoting U.S.-style health care, the premier shouldn't get angry. In fact, he should look at the Chretien family as a customer, and try to get the Chretien family's health-care business.
After all, clinics in Calgary are a lot closer to the ski hills than the Mayo Clinic -- and we accept payment in Canadian dollars.

0Arlin Plays Psychonauts- Waterloo World Part 2
Here we are, embroiled in a war game of the highest caliber. Or at least, it would be, but it's really just a twisted version of said board game in the psyche of a former orderly! Much as I'd like to see actual rules for Waterloo World, I don't expect that level of detail from anyone, especially given the context in which we play. That said, it seems to be a conglomeration of assorted objectives and fetch quests. Normally I'd get rather irritated with this sort of setup, but it's enough fun just to run around and explore to find the various pieces of the puzzle that I find myself not frustrated in the slightest. At least, not with the act of running around. It also helps considerably that there is a comedic payoff for each step of any retrieval.

Mattress Firm ranks high in employee satisfaction survey
Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, February 6, 2013
HOUSTON — Houston-based retailer Mattress Firm ranked No. 7 in Workplace Dynamics' annual National Top 150 Workplaces survey of employees.
Workplace Dynamics surveyed more than one million employees from 872 companies to create the list, using employee responses to survey questions about their workplaces to calculate the scores.
Employees at Mattress Firm rated their company highly across all categories and said they receive formal career training, their jobs met or exceeded their expectations, they felt appreciated, they were paid well for their work, and that they were confident about their futures at the company, officials said.
"We are delighted that our employees have rated Mattress Firm as such a great place to work," said Steve Stagner, president and CEO. "As a company, we realize the importance of training and supporting our employees, and listening to our team's feedback at all levels.

Sounds like you were conditions to react with disgust to public displays of homosexuality.
Not too surprising. In many cultures, public displays of heterosexuality are also considered disgusting.
And here in the US, people found it genuinely disgusting to see people of different races kissing.
It's all conditioning. Some Hindus find eating beef disgusting. Most Americans would shudder before drinking a glass of human milk, but not milk from some other totally unrelated animal.
Disgust is not a good indicator of morality. For example, white collar crime is evil, cruel, and destructive, but while most of us judge it as wrong, we don't curl our lip and say "icky." Which is why some of the worst people in the world get away with dreadful deeds.
Gays, on the other hand, are mostly honest, kind, hard-working and patriotic people.
I hope you work on the "ick" thing. Most adults find it fairly easy to get past it with not much effort.
Very Well Spoken. Thank you :)

Nicolas Cage's Black-Metaller Son Gets Into Violent Altercation.
Although the details are still coming in, Los Angeles police are investigating an altercation in Hollywood on Tuesday involving the son of Nicolas Cage.
According to the L.A. Times, sources close to the case said that Weston Cage, 20, got into a fight with an unidentified individual around 4:10PM near the intersection of Selma Avenue and Ivar Avenue. Weston was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where he was treated for unspecified injuries. His superstar father met him at the hospital. No word yet whether Weston is being treated like a crime victim or if he would be charged with a crime for the incident.
Noisecreep readers might already be familiar with Weston from his black metal band Eyes of Noctum. Under the stage name of Arcane, Cage fronts the Los Angeles-based act which formed in the summer of 2008 and so far have released an album called 'Inceptum.' The record was produced in Sweden by Fredrik Nordström [In Flames, Opeth with contributions by renowned music producer Jack Douglas [Alice Cooper, Aerosmith]. Eyes of Noctum reportedly have finished work on 'Narcoma,' their sophomore album, but no release date has been provided as of press time.
Knife-wielding man at Staples Center arrested.
LOS ANGELES — A steak knife-wielding man held police and security guards at bay for nearly an hour at the Staples Center before the Los Angeles Clippers' game Saturday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, authorities said.
The center's general manager, Lee Zeidman, said the man, who was not identified, walked into the venue through an employee entrance. He said security officers tried to block his entry, but the man was brandishing the blade.
The man ran to the arena floor, where he was met by 25 security staffers who surrounded him until police arrived.
He eventually made his way to the visiting bench, where he spoke to three police officers with their guns drawn from approximately 20 feet away.
Zeidman said the man made no demands or offer a motive for his actions.
"He was talking a lot of gibberish, making a lot of veiled threats, and nobody could really understand him," Zeidman said. "There were no specific demands. He told us: 'Just back away or else you're going to get hurt. Leave me alone. I'm prepared to do whatever it takes to get whatever I want.' "
Police shot the man with a beanbag gun and detained him after he made a move toward a tunnel leading off the court. He was placed in handcuffs and escorted out by police.
Spectators with VIP access to the 12:30 p.m. game had begun filing into the arena, but were evacuated once the incident began. Players from both teams watched the drama unfold on a TV outside the Cavaliers' dressing room before they were instructed to return to their locker rooms.
The court was reopened to players, media and arena employees 18 minutes after the man's arrest.
Officer Norma Eisenman, a police spokeswoman, confirmed the man's arrest and said an off-duty officer reported the incident, but did not release other details.
Justin Bieber Named MVP of 2011 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game.
This kid really is everywhere, as you learned last night if you caught the NBA's sold-out All-Star Celebrity Game in Los Angeles.
Contributing eight points, two rebounds and four assists to his team (which lost), Justin Bieber ended up winning the title of Most Valuable Player by game's end, according to an NPR report, which describes the "vertically challenged" pop star "bouncing with every step" as he "scampered" to the screams of girls in the stands.
What was Bieber's secret to MVP glory? Recruiting his legion of loyal followers on Twitter to vote via text, and lock up the title for him. It certainly wasn't due to the 3-pointer he missed, a shot that would have tied the score with just 30 seconds left on the clock.
About his teammate, Rick Fox said, "He has the softest hair." The former Laker (and recent 'DWTS' dancer) reportedly patted Bieber on the head midway through the game.
Bieber's other Western Conference teammates included 'Chuck' star Zach Levi, Trey Songz, Romeo Miller and Lamar Odom's brother-in-law, Rob Kardashian. They were coached by Magic Johnson, with official assistance from Jimmy Kimmel and 'Modern Family' star Ty Burrell. Despite all that talent, the Eastern Conference won 54-49.
Scottie Pippen led his team, coached by Hall of Famer Bill Walton, to victory along with East teammates Common, Jason Sudeikis, Nick Cannon and Michael Rapaport.
The roster of professionals on the court also included WNBA stars Tamika Catchings and Swin Cash.
During the game, Bieber summed it up: "I'm just running back and forth. I'm controlling this whole team. I'm just kidding."
Jamie Foxx's Offstage Brawl Disrupts Usher Show.
Usher was on the job Thursday night inside a crowded Los Angeles nightclub, giving a live performance at a vodka launch party, when two scuffling fans just about upstaged his concert.
Celebs in the stunned audience of 1,200 reportedly included Jenny McCarthy, Joe Jonas, Ryan Phillipe, Adam Lambert and 'DWTS' star Cheryl Burke.
And their shock probably had something to do with who was fighting: Oscar winner Jamie Foxx caused the commotion, according to RadarOnline, when an altercation with a former manager turned physical, midway through Usher's set.
A source on the scene says the brawl then "spilled to the outside area," and soon "security intervened…After some cops approached, both men seemed to make-up with one another before they left."
No charges have been filed. The actor's rep has not commented on the incident.
After the fight broke up, Foxx reportedly left the venue scowling. "I don't know what the guy said to Jamie Foxx, but he was really p—sed," said the witness.
Back in 2004, Foxx, now 43, got into trouble with the law, charged with disturbing the peace (he was ultimately placed on probation) after he and his sister tangled with security guards at a New Orleans casino, and allegedly resisted arrest.
Last year, the busy performer (who earned an Oscar for 2004's 'Ray') won a Grammy for his T-Pain collaboration, 'Blame It.' This month, Foxx has been promoting his new family-friendly movie 'Rio,' in which he voices the role of a small yellow canary. He's also appearing in the upcoming Jennifer Aniston comedy 'Horrible Bosses,' as a character named Motherf—ka Jones.
Bryant To Get Cement Prints At Hollywood Landmark.
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant has championship rings and an MVP trophy, but he's about to get an honor usually reserved for the stars of Hollywood.
Bryant will become the first athlete to have a hand and foot print ceremony at Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood.
Representatives for the theater announced Thursday that Bryant will have the ceremony setting his hands and feet in cement as part of the NBA's All-Star Weekend festivities on Feb. 19, the day before the All-Star game at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
More than 200 Hollywood luminaries including John Wayne, Marilyn Monroe and Brad Pitt have had their hands and feet set in cement in front of the Hollywood landmark.

The Solution for Obesity
The biggest cause of obesity is a diet high in sugar, processed foods and refined grains. Unfortunately I just described the diet that most people in the US are eating everyday. Throw in a sedentary lifestyle and we have the perfect formula for diabetes and a slew of preventable illnesses.
If I had to pick a diet that would cure the obesity problem in the US, it would be a diet that is very high in vegetables, low in grains (if your not very active), and high in omega-3 fats with adequate amount of protein from lean meats, chicken, fish, and eggs(….)

Niger Oto - Hisonotus leucofrenatus (Ribeiro, 1908)
by Paul E. Turley, uploaded December 01, 2004
An aquarium catfish need not be expensive to make a new and very interesting addition to the aquarium. One prime example is this month's Catfish of the Month introduced to us by Paul E. Turley.
Hisonotus leucofrenatus is a small (25mm) Otocinclus-like species of Loricariid catfish seasonally imported from Paraguay under the common name: Otocinclus sp. "Niger". Unfortunately I have no firm insights as to the origins of this trade name, perhaps it just means black or dark? It was originally described by Miranda-Ribeiro as Otocinclus leucofrenatus in 1908. In the time since its original description, this little fish has been placed within three different genera: Otocinclus, Microlepidogaster and, finally in 2003, the fish was moved to the genus Hisonotus by Scott Schaefer(4) (the genus Hisonotus was erected by Eigenmann & Eigenmann in 1889.(5)).
This miniature loricariid makes an excellent addition to planted aquariums or community tanks inhabited by smaller, calmer species of fishes.
These fish can only be described as fairly undemanding with regards to care. So long as extremes of temperature and water hardness are avoided and oxygen levels are kept up a bit, the fish adapts well to life in the aquarium.
The natural range for this species is from South Eastern Brazil near Sao Paulo through Paraguay(1,2, Fishbase.org). Collected from this region, it can be expected that these fish may be cold tolerant as the waters in the area are frequently recorded down to around 50°F (in winter even colder). Please note this is an untested hypothesis based on the collection locale rather than on reference materials or actual aquarium observations. However, this may account for the amazingly high levels of reproductive activity demonstrated by these fish in the aquarium. The warmer temperatures may well trigger their reproductive cycle as they breed readily and frequently in a well-kept aquarium. Females can become so gravid that they look like they are about to burst! In healthy adult fish spawning bouts may occur weekly if not even more often. This cooler temperature range may also account for why the fish seem to be fairly short lived. Most specimens I have kept have only lasted about 24 months, although most of these were imported as adult fish. There is clearly more to be learned about these interesting little fish.
As mentioned above, these fish breed quite readily in the aquarium. Another interesting feature in addition to their high proclivity for breeding is that they show none of the behaviors considered typical of loricariid reproduction. In fact these fish are egg scatterers, breeding in a fashion much like a member of the callicthyid genus Corydoras.
The similarities in reproductive behavior between these fish and the Genus Corydoras are extensive. The first time I witnessed these fish spawn; silhouetted in the half-light of a nightlight in my fish room, I actually thought the Corydoras in the aquarium that were in the process of spawning, not the Hisonotus.
Spawning consists of a small pack of males pursuing and flitting about the females in a mob-like fashion. Eventually, only a pair will remain. Other males will appear to hover nearby for the first opportunity to join the spawning female or will go off to pursue other females on their own. The chosen male and the female will dance to various locations around the aquarium, the male all the while quickly flashing his fins to continue to stimulate the female.
During the actual egg deposition, the male is immediately in front of the female rapidly fanning his fins in a posture (again) not unlike the Corydoras "T"-position. Given the small size of these fish, it is unclear whether fertilization takes place at this time, but based on observations, I would guess it is likely.
During the spawning sequence, eggs are literally scattered far and wide (albeit one at a time) all around the aquarium. Favorite spawning sites appear to be at the base of leaves of broad-leaved stem plants such as Rotala spp. or Hygrophila spp. but will also include all manner of objects throughout the tank, both hidden and in plain sight. Due to this wide range dispersal, it is unclear exactly how many eggs are deposited in each spawn. Unfortunately for me, the most common indications that these fish had spawned were various Tetras feeding greedily among the plants in the aquarium!
These fish do not appear to offer any parental care for their eggs or fry. This is yet another behavior that is somewhat rare in the loricariids, most demonstrate at least a minimal amount of parental care, typically displayed by the male fish (paternal parental care). Even in the superficially similar species Otocinclus affinis the male fish, while not defending the eggs in any significant manner, will remain in the general vicinity of the spawn until hatching. This apparently is not so with Hisonotus leucofrenatus.
The greatest challenge in rearing these fish is gathering a sufficient number of eggs from every hidden corner of the spawning tanks to raise a meaningful number of fry. Once after witnessing a spawn, I did manage to raise a very small handful of fry to approximately 12mm long, prior to releasing them into a heavily planted aquarium where they were, unfortunately, rarely seen and eventually lost. Most all other spawns I discovered occurred in community aquariums where the other inhabitants of the aquarium (mostly Tetras) proved more effective at catching the newly hatched fry than I did. I'd often find one or two newly hatched fry in the aquarium without actually witnessing the eggs or spawn.
At 78°F (23°C) the eggs appeared to hatch in roughly 5-7 days. The resulting fry are tiny but forage readily. A small bit of APR or OSI Brand Micro Invertebrate Food suspended in the water column will encourage / stimulate foraging. In the few fry I managed to raise I primarily fed APR, crushed flake foods and algae discs in addition to the typical browse materials the fry were able to forage on the leaves of several Anubas nana in the aquarium. The eggs were actually transferred to the raising tank on the leaves of the Anubas plants.
Other than their very small size and broadcast scattering of eggs, these fish do not appear to be terribly difficult to raise.
I believe it is time for a more concentrated effort in raising some of these tiny little fish to more accurate document (and record) their reproductive behaviors. While I have kept this fish with some successes and witnessed it spawn on occasion, their spawning in the aquarium was a less than "planned" event for me as an aquarist (planning on my part was virtually non-existent, the fishes knew exactly what they were doing!). The fish were housed in community tank settings; not the most conducive for raising larger numbers of fry.
This is certainly one fish that warrants more attention despite its small size. This is particularly true in light of reproductive behavior that is largely unseen among the loricariids and is more characteristic of the callichthyids.
Documenting the reproductive behavior of these fishes beyond these initial observations should be seen as a worthwhile challenge for any aquarist looking for something new and interesting. Particularly for an aquarist on a tight budget!

A senior member of a Sudanese opposition party, was present at the meeting of the leaders of the Juba Alliance in which the issue of boycotting the elections was discussed at length. From the meeting he knew precisely where each of the parties stood: which were for contesting the elections, which were for comprehensive boycott, and which were for partial boycott or were undecided. In the circumstances, his information was as precise, accurate, and up to date as any.
On leaving the meeting he saw the BBC news which was reporting a comprehensive boycott. This threw him into confusion. Assuming that the BBC had better information than he did, he also reported the BBC's report as fact. The BBC report was actually inaccurate.
The last 72 hours have been characterized by confusion, conflicting information and shifting positions. It has not been helped by the fact that some political leaders express different opinions to different audiences, changing their language and emphasis, sometimes by the hour. Few of the political parties have sufficient internal discipline for all their spokesmen to give the same message, so that depending on who is speaking, a different story emerges. There is a vast amount of rumour and inference.
A general rule for the current situation is that those who know most, speak least, and those who are appearing most frequently in the media, usually know less.
In these circumstances, news reports and the publications by international groups often carry unwarranted weight. The position of the U.S. has been very clear: it wants the election to proceed. But some political leaders, particularly at the second level, take reports of non-governmental organizations which are taking a principled stand against the elections, as indicative of what the international community will do.
Finding the truth is always hard in the Sudanese political scene. At the moment it is simply impossible.

FS: Panerai 162 and 232 (azcodman)
May 7 2012 at 5:25 PM

from IP address 188.8.131.52
I've decided to reduce my Panerai collection so these two pieces are up for sale. They are 100% complete packages to include triple boxes, OEM straps, screwdrivers, booklets, warranty cards and anything else that came with the watch when originally sold. I am not the original owner of either and although both are in great running condition, have no idea if they have been serviced.
1. PAM 162. This was the predecessor to the Daylight chronographs and the only Panerai that came with a Montegrappa pen serialized to the watch. One of the most underappreciated PAMs in my opinion and I will likely kick myself for selling it! Condition is near mint condition and its priced at $7195.
2. PAM 232. This is a 47mm Radiomir special edition with brown dial and gold hands. I think you probably know the watch so no lengthy description is needed! Because the bezel has two small nicks, the condition is near mint and its priced at $8500.
Prices include fully insured overnight shipping in the USA. International shipping may be possible but will be extra. Payment via wire transfer only. Since the goal is to reduce my collection, I'm not looking for trades. More photos and many references if you need them. Please email any questions to firstname.lastname@example.com or call me at 480 544-0901.

Has any one put a tut up here for a rabbit. I have tried one and it looks anemic and not healthy enough to be an Easter rabbit. Help please before this poor little rabbit goes to the garbage can. He all ready did as he broke off of the mandrel. Rats.

Why You'll Love Pistachios
Crack open pistachio shells and inside you'll find green nutrient-rich nuts with a sweet flavor and buttery crunch. Rich in calcium and filled with fiber, pistachios are a simple, sensible snack and add oomph to salads, sweets and more.
How to Tell if Pistachios Are Fresh
Look for pistachios with split beige-colored shells (which indicate ripeness) and bright green nuts. They're highly perishable, so put shelled or un-shelled nuts in a plastic bag and refrigerate for up to 3 months or freeze un-shelled nuts for up to 6 months.
How to Candy Pistachios
Mix 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/3 cup sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, then stir well. Toss with 16 ounces pistachios until well-coated, then spread on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake in a 325°F oven until fragrant, about 10-15 minutes. Let cool and store in an airtight container.
How to Pair Pistachios
Garnish salads, baked Brie, cakes and custards with chopped candied pistachios and use pistachio extract to flavor sweets. Dip pretzels and fresh strawberries in melted chocolate, then coat with crushed pistachios. Or stir chopped nuts and dried apricots into couscous, rice and oatmeal.
How to Prep & Recipe Idea
Shell pistachios before use. For an impressive appetizer or healthy snack, stuff grapes with goat cheese and chopped pistachios.

We ordered a North Shore dining set and just wanted to say that dealing with FurnitureCart has been great. I've moved into new house in new state which has been quite stressful and to be able to order some furniture and not have to worry about it is just how it should be. The furniture was delivered on the weekend of our move and we were very impressed with how solid and well made it all is and will not hesitate to use FurnitureCart again in the future. So once again, thanks again for providing a good, reliable and smooth service.

Hello all,
I get patches of wavy lines whenever I try to play downloaded video files on my ps3 (320gb slim) transferred from my pc to the ps3 HD via a jump drive. I am still able to watch the video, but just have these green patches. I have a vizio 720p I tried adjusting the resolution on the ps3, but it changes to horizontal green lines instead of patches.
I tried converting the file to a ps3 supported file type using a converter, but I still get the patches. DVD video play is fine. Any other suggestions? Any help would be apppreciated. Thanks in advance

Happy holla-days from Honey Boo Boo!
The Kardashian-Jenner clan isn't the only reality TV family spreading a little Christmas cheer with a card this year. TLC pageant princess Alana Thompson (aka Honey Boo Boo) and her loved ones also got into the spirit of the season when they posed for a portrait at Smiley's Flea Market and Yard Sale in their hometown of Macon, Ga., over the weekend.
The photo shows 7-year-old Thompson -- in a red-and-black plaid dress with neon-green hair extensions -- grinning at the camera alongside the rest of the "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" tribe: Mama June Shannon, dad Mike "Sugar Bear" Thompson, and sisters Lauryn (aka Pumpkin, 12), Jessica (aka Chubbs, 15), and Anna (aka Chickadee, 17), who has a little one of her own, baby Kaitlyn.
PHOTOS: Holiday movie stars, then and now
As the family gears up for the upcoming holiday, they've been reminiscing about past Christmases -- and past Christmas presents -- for TLC's holiday-themed Honey Boo Boo specials, airing early next year.
"My best gift is the tent that goes over my bed," the precocious "Toddlers & Tiaras" standout gushes of her all-time favorite present.
PHOTOS: Holiday gifts for kids
As for what she expects to find under the tree this year? Not coal. "I think I'll be on the nice list," the tot says in a promotional clip for the show. "Because my daddy's already Santa Claus and that gives me a guess that I'm going to be on the nice list."

While it's up there it will feed back data to troops on the ground for communications, intelligence and surveillance purposes. Continue reading
Hiroshi Ishiguro, a robot engineer from Osaka University, makes eerily lifelike humanoids to answer fundamental questions like "what is presence?", "what is identity?" and to discover whether there are cultural differences in the perception of robots. To help answer that last question, Ishiguro has left behind the robofaces of Japan in his latest bot, Geminoid DK, which has an altogether more Caucasian-looking mug. That's mostly because it's made to look exactly like Henrik Scharfe, anassociate professor at Aalborg University in Denmark. Continue reading
There are plenty of websites that will help you plan your next trip. But what if they also tapped into a vast real-time database of the recommendations other travellers are taking, from friends' suggestions of charming bistrots in Juan-les-Pins to a cousin's tip about a wine-tasting course in Alsace? And then, based on the cumulative experiences of millions of satisfied travellers, the website suggested a complete personalised itinerary for you, based around a few of your initial preferences?
That's the vision of Kukunu, a new site (also available through an iPhone app) which seeks to make travel planning a thoroughly social experience via your online networks -- and in the process provides the practical, personalised suggestions that would formerly have come from a travel agent.

Stupid iBooks Author
I feel genuinely sorry for people that have authored content in iBooks author. Its not because I am feeling defensive since I am involved in the development of a book production platform. I just feel sorry for them because they are part of Apples lock in strategy and it has some very significant impacts on their content.
I was reading a slashdot thread about Booktype and enjoying the conversation. Some very interesting and informed takes on the whole book world (and some not so informed rants!). One of the very last comments was by someone that made a book with the iBook Author. Naturally curious I downloaded the book to have a look. Knowing that iBooks Author makes epubs I was surprised to see the '.ibook' suffix to the file instead of '.epub'. So first I tried opening this with calibre. The book loaded into Calibre ok but when displayed all I got was a list of the folder contents. Epubs are archived zip files, when you open them with an 'archive manager' you just see a folder structure. Since Apple uses the wrong suffix any other application that opens it will only see that the file is a zip archive and open it like it would any other zip file and display the folders and files inside.
It kind of kills me that this happens. Its not Cailbres issue its the non-standard way of Apple to screw everything up for everyone. Why not just call the file an epub?
So I changed the name of the file so that it ended with the '.epub' suffix and I tried again. Of course now it opened. However the pages were scrambled. Why? Because Apple uses non-standard CSS controls to layout the books. For a good article and insight into this strategy read Baldur Bjarnasons post about this.
Its really a pity. The author spent a lot of time on this book it seems and I would really like to enjoy their work. So even though this looks like it could be a very nice book I can't read it. It really can only be read by the iPad. If thats ok by you then sure – but its probably a good idea to ask yourself why. Would you accept these conditions if they were true for books before the iPad came along? Imagine if all paper books made with an Apple desktop publisher application looked scrambled unless viewed with special Apple glasses? Well maybe for an art project it might sound kinda cool but for a normal book? Sound ridiculous? Thats where you are now if you make content with iBook Author.

(CNN) - The infamous "Onion Field" cop killer whose 1963 crime was chronicled in a best-selling book and a movie has died, officials said Monday. He was 79.
Gregory Powell died Sunday at the California Medical Facility, a prison in Vacaville, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said in a statement.
In October, Powell was denied compassionate release, all but guaranteeing he would die behind bars.
He had cancer, according to the Los Angeles Police Protective League. Prison officials, however, never confirmed that account and Monday's statement said simply that Powell died of "natural causes."
He was serving a life sentence with the possibility of parole for killing Los Angeles Police Officer Ian Campbell nearly 50 years ago.

Pre-Qualified Roofing Contractors
Roofing Contractor Agreement
roofkey Roofing Guidelines
Roof Inspection Service Fee
Selecting a Contractor
Jim Ragsdale, the principal of RE/COR Inc., co-owned and operated one of the largest and most respected roofing companies in the Denver Metro Area from 1972 – 1990 with branch offices in Pocatello, Idaho; Casper, Wyoming; and Houston, Texas. While operating the roofing company, several roofing manufacturers consulted Jim Ragsdale routinely for his expertise and opinions in reviewing installation manuals and testing roofing products.
Established in 1990, RE/COR Inc. specialized in re-roofing, high-end custom new construction, and roof consulting. After 1998, the company no longer sold or installed roofing products and concentrated instead on roof consulting and inspections. Jim has been very active in editing and writing proposals for improving and changing building codes for the roofing industry in the International Building Code and the International Residential Code of the International Code Council.
Since 1999 RE/COR Inc. has contracted our Roof Inspection Service to several Metro Denver City/County Building Departments as their sole or major residential and commercial roof inspector. Some have used our company when hailstorms have damaged the roofs in their area. As a private contractor, we inspected most of the residential and commercial re-roof inspections for the City of Aurora, Colorado from February, 1999 through and until June, 2007 when new construction in the home building industry slowed due to the mortgage industry collapse and low City/County revenues. From May, 2005 until August, 2009 RE/COR Inc. inspected all the residential and commercial new roof construction and re-roof installations for the City of Greenwood Village, Colorado, again ending due to the slow down in new construction and low City/County revenues. We have also performed our Roof Inspection Service for other Metro Denver City Building Departments, Individual Property Owners, Homeowners Associations, Property Management Companies, Home Builders, Insurance Companies, and Realtors ~ all to their satisfaction.
There are few, if any, companies whose main business is the inspection of roof installations as ours is. We perform a Roof Inspection Service - we do not sell or install roofing products or represent any roofing materials or installation companies ~ so there is no conflict of interest.
Throughout the roofing industry our reputation is well known as being very knowledgeable, fair, and helpful, but also tough, strict, and not missing much. Our roof inspections are performed with consistency and we treat every roof the same no matter who roofed it. The citizens of Greenwood Village and the other Cities/Counties where we have performed our Roof Inspection Service have been very appreciative of our thoroughness in making sure the roofs have been installed correctly. Many have thanked us personally and several have written letters to their respective building departments stating their satisfaction for giving them the Peace of Mind of knowing their roofs have been properly inspected.
Our expertise is in all types of Steep-Roofing products including asphalt shingles, cedar shakes, clay and concrete tile, new alternative roofing materials and some flat roofing materials. We really know our business with over 35 years in the roofing industry and more than 24,000 roof inspections performed. We have the knowledge, the experience, the reputation, and the desire to solve your roofing problems. We do not guarantee your roof will be free from future problems or litigation but we will greatly decrease the odds.
