Google VP Vic Gundotra Uploads Nexus 10 Camera Photos to Google+
Google is scheduled to hold a press event in New York on October 29, in which it's widely expected the company will introduce will a new Nexus 7 32GB model to replace the 16GB version at the $249 price tier. That's not all Google has on tap. It's also been rumored Google will launch a 10-inch Nexus tablet built by Samsung, which the company's Senior Vice President all but confirmed on his Google+ page.
Vic Gundotra uploaded a pair of beach photos to his Google+ account, and the devil is in the details. Quite literally. If you expand the Photo Details tree, it's revealed that the pictures were taken with a Nexus 10 camera. See below.
The photo is 2048×1536 pixels, which converts to 3.1-megapixels, though that's not necessarily representative of the actual pixel count of the Nexus 10′s camera. It's possible Gundotra downsized the image before uploading it, or Google+ simply resized it.
Regardless, it appears a Nexus 10 tablet is now imminent.

Maoriland Worker, Volume 10, Issue 450, 22 October 1919, Page 8
Now tbafc the shearing season liaa
itarted memberg are urged to suggee* $o til'B "unorganised sections of the industry the advisibality of- throwing in their lot with the New Zealand Workers' Union.. Two of t'ie<e sections —tho experts and the wool dasser.s*-may be reached during th© nest three or four months, aud every endeavour phould be made among them to popularise Unionist principles. There is room for them in th* New Zeul'iid Workers' Uncivil uiiu. zke mean 3*v ade^-ai.':- ade^-ai.':,-iy dealing with their cite. With respect to the experts it may be stated that the demands compiled By the Workers* "Onion Conference and reoefctly plaoed before the employers 'embodied proposals relating to their J conditions, bnt owing to the fact that tbe constitution of the SheareTs and Slied Hands' Union (which conducted the negotiations) did not provide for the membership of e xperts it was found impossible to Include, them in the agreement. Tc got an award for experts ifc is , therefor© necessary to organise t&ein as a Uhiou registered under the Arbitration Act, and the New Zealand Workers' Union, affords the medium through which this can. be done. All that' the expert need to is to take his ticket iv the Workers' Union, and leave the rest to its ofii:-«ial*. Arbitration Unions of experts in each industrial district will be Brealed from their 'membership in the Workers" Union, and they will he incited, by remit to the Workers' Union annual conference t« draft the demands that ia their opinion should apply to their particular occupation, '.lite reason for this course is that miy attempt ©Hi xhe part of experts to organise in a. sBQAII body apart from the Workers' Union probably will fail, owing to the difficulty of reaching comparatively few men spread over so largo vii arcsi of country. Their only tuipe< is by joint action with the hshc-nre'ra and shed hands. The folly of trying to build up inftnitesraal separate organisation* in the rural districts is exemplilied in the experience of the of tier section mentioned—tlie e wool eJassers. Last year the Workers' Union carried out considerable agitation among the- ,,, ' workers and isucoeeded in oonvinc-i ug some oJ' iliem of the wisdom of organisation. Thesa gathered together iv C'hristci'ureh ab the end 01 the season, and, at fur hearing a deputation from Ih* 'Workers' Union in i'avoni of tilt- policy a-! proposed abov+> for tlio .experts, decided to form thi-ir own Union anil to tun•ider amalgamation later ..in. Tins little union has never been heard of einco, and the. Workers' Union has omiclndfd that it gave up the chnst (ho monient ir it< inability to finance o.ii effort !° oryanive thw linge area aver wiiieh. wool work, and to Attend efficiently to the detail work of a Union confronted by tlu/n-auds of employer.- , .

As it i-> ihcy nni<r itarL »ll over again. Th t , poinr.. tlion. to b# made by monibers with the w0,,l 'jjassera is, as wiHi tho expfrt.-?, that small Unions cannot hopo to possess the 'resources necessary to solve tho problems of rural workers* organisation, and that they should tlipreforo act tltrbugli the- .New Zealand Workers' Union. Thi.s Uniim has tho oißce etaff and tho reiiuisilo organisers it can- collect evidence and t-hrougii Th> Worker keep in touch witli vii its member*, and in all intents nr.d purposes it is- l-ecogniwcd by tho shep.p owners as th<j body witty which tliey might aa well negotiate. Thero remain tbe crutcliers. With these men the problem of organisation is practically lion-esistent. Most of :hem are already of the Workers' Union, and their conditions an? not fixed only because the "Union so far has sought to contain their conditions within the shearers and shed hands' agreement—a policy with which the employers wjll not concur. Tho employers evidently prefer a separate Award for crutchers, and before twelve months nre over it is certain that they will receive satisfaction. In each industrial district crutchers' Unions will be formed and steps taken to regulate their work by an Arbitration Court award. As' the emtehers will soon be in the shearing sheds their notice is drawn to this intimation, and they are invited to give it every consideration. Once the- experts and wool olassers join the Workers' Union In substantial numbers tho organisation of the shearing industry will nonr completion, and; it will be greatly ( to th© credit of members' if this result is brougii-fc about' by their agitation this season.

The City Assembly House is home to the Irish Georgian Society which promotes Ireland's architectural heritage and decorative arts. It is an eighteenth-century building of historical, artistic and architectural importance that is being restored as a cultural venue to host exhibitions, musical performances and other events.
During the summer of 2013 it will host an exhibition of photographs from James Fennell & Turtle Bunbury's Vanishing Ireland series which look at dying ways and traditions of Irish life that were assembled in a bid to chronicle a world that is disappearing rapidly. All visitors are welcome and entry is free.
The City Assembly House will also be the starting point every Tuesday for architectural tours of Dublin's domestic and civic architecture with distinguished historians Dr. Conor Lucey and Dr John Montague – €15 p.p. book online at www.igs.ie.
A small shop offers a selection of books and gift items.
Built in the 1760s, the City Assembly House possesses the first purpose built public Exhibition Room in Ireland or Britain and possibly in the whole of Europe. For 20 years after its opening, the works of Ireland's greatest 18th century artists were shown in the building and during this time it also served as an academy for the arts. For the first half of the 19th century the building was used by Dublin Corporation as City Hall during which time it played an essential political role in the country. Daniel O'Connell, The Liberator, presided over meetings as Lord Mayor in its Exhibition Room and is reputed to have delivered the finest speech of his career in that room.
Having served as a museum for much of the 20th century and lain unused for the last ten years, the City Assembly House is now being restored by the Irish Georgian Society in partnership with Dublin City Council as a cultural venue on one of Dublin's most exciting and vibrant streets.

Recipe by Chef John
"This creative uncooked Brussels sprouts recipe has a great contrast between the raw, crunchy vegetable and the rich, smoky bacon dressing."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 1/4 pounds Brussels sprouts
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 ounces bacon, sliced
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
To make this super easy, I loaded the feed tube on the food processor with the halved sprouts and sliced them. The lemon juice really brightens the flavor resulting in a tasty bacon dressing which would be good on so many things. Honestly, I don't think the brussels sprouts flavor shined through and wondered just how much differently it would have tasted with regular sliced cabbage. Either way, it was good!
We are big fans of Brussel sprouts, the underestimated, under appreciated gift from the garden! The bacon dressing is one I've used many times and is basically the same one I use for German-style potato salad (without the lemon juice). The entire dish is very flavorful and a most welcome change-up for a side dish. I did follow the suggestion of lutzflcat and used the food processor to slice the veggies after I cut out the core. Easy and delicious!

I loved this recipe. It was a great way to fix brussel sprouts. My daughter who doesn't like them really likes this dish.
I am one of the "don't like BS" but I made this recipe and its now thumbs up for BS! If you want a different salad recipe then this is a good one, and if you take it to a pot luck rest assured that your salad will be the only salad made with BS. I will keep this recipe and make it again.
This was very good, but I had some left over and tried to eat it the next day, I did heat it up a little. It tasted really bad, so I guess when you make it, you have to eat it the same day.
I added Tabasco to the dressing instead of cayenne. I think the addition of craisins or something similarly sweet would be a nice addition.
This was very good.
Surprisingly fantastic! My husband's first reaction was "raw?" but we both loved it! Added a bit of extra meat on top and made a hearty, filling dinner salad out of it. Will definitely be experimenting with different varieties of this recipe!

Most auto accessories catalogs sell plate covers that can only be read straight on. Viewed fr/ an angle the plate is is blurred out. I assume this is one of the reasons plate covers are illegal in NJ - although not commonly enforced. I find more people slamming on their brakes immediately when a light turns yellow. I do know that Rt. 1 by Sam's in Linden and Morris & Sty. in Union are continually going off when there appears to be no one in violation.
People are concerned with the effect on a repeat offender. How about the innocent, productive member of society who decided to go to a shopping mall one day? The victim will spend the rest of her life afraid to be alone and could very well be forced to uproot her life because she simply doesn't feel safe anymore. While I'd like nothing more than a reduction in the # of incarcerated US citizens, until there is a reduction in crimes committed - particuarly violent crimes - criminals need to be treated... well, like criminals.
DH was an asst coach @ RU 1997-2001... &, um he might have a connection or 2 in the NJ high school scene. If he's going to make a move, he's probably best off climbing the ranks as a head coach step by step. Unless something horrific happens, Rice deserves to coach out his whole contract w/o looking over his shoulder the entire time.
The coach dictates the "program". I question whether it is better for Schiano to leave before the recruits sign or wait until after they commit. Either way it's open to criticism. The comment including ND, N'Western & Stanford is in regard to Schiano turning RU a top 10 overall and the #1 public institution regarding graduation rates. He has a well deserved reputation for caring about his guys beyond the playing field.
Georgetown & Marquette are the only Jesuit schools in the Big East. Why you think that is important is the real issue.
I think you want the Stix fr/ 2 years ago. Polynice will be important fr/ a defensive standpoint. I am concerned about the regularity of 3's fr/ Herb & JRob w/ no one underneath. Good to see JT wasn't over-penetrating and was able to kick it out. I expect this team to start building fr/ here and play exciting ball this year.
Since the video poster announced what time he would be broadcasting, there is no chance it was done accidentally. This girl had plenty of opinions considering she tried to qualify each with "I wouldn't know, I don't know them". This is a horrible crime and there is no way to justify it.
She is entitled to everthing that comes with a legally binding collective bargaining agreement, whether or not you feel she deserves it. I'm more concerned that she retired without having everything in WRITING. The idea of an unfit 62 year old patrolman w/ a bum knee being your 1st line of defense is ridiculous. Your assignments change as your experience & knowledge becomes more valuable than your physical capabilities... and I hate to admit that I am a little skeptical of so many disability claims.
Big Mel on a treadmill @ 7am?!?!? Was he dangling a twinkie in front of him? I never expected Mel back. I like KW's attitude, his style of play fits the players on the roster (OK, not Mel) and he's handling the NBA stuff w/ aplomb. I had great hopes for the coming year & if the recruits qualify and if all 3 "draftees" don't leave it still looks on par w/ this past year. He's locked up NJ recruiting. Hazard Zet Forward!
Just disregard whom the article states as having been arrested.
Allegedly Bobby's contract extension was agreed to in principle, but never signed. Fred Hill got a vote of confidence from RU this morning. Coincidence?
Bobby had a talented team, but didn't know how to coach with a deep bench. While I'm fine w/ the firing, I'm PO'd that they will have to pay him for the extension. Considering that they just cut a 1st class track program, does it makes sense to pay 2 head coaches salaries? This could spell the end of The Hall in the Big East.
By all accounts Fred Hill is a decent guy. He's a good recruiter. He's a terrible head basketball coach. It's time to go. Fortunately, RU hired him before SHU did. The RAC could return to being a feared home court if you put a competitive team out there - but there needs to be an investment in scoreboards, sound system, etc.
I ran into Big Mel on the concourse post game - hopefully the last time I ever see him. @ least all of the players were friendly after the game in the handshake line.
As everyone has stated, the underage argument is ludicrous. There are some wine dealers who ship to NJ based wholesalers who THEN ship to residences, where an adult signature is required. Double shipping gets expensive. Local stores will take a small hit, but not the catastrophic effect they'd have you believe. Many consumers will benefit, a few businesses will lose a little, most people will not be affected in any way.
What Gonzalez isn't allowed to comment on is that after Stan Heath left, USF refused to allow Famous out of his commitment. He wanted out & would have come to South Orange if he didn't have to sit out a year.
Another 6'5" swingman. Hasn't Bobby noticed that Monmouth was the 1st team they weren't out rebounded by in....well, since he's been here? Counting on Pope to pull down 17 every game isn't too realistic.
Take the train to Newark & take the PATH to WTC. You're best bet is not to go straight across to B'way (everyone will try this), but to go up a few blocks before crossing over. This will also give you a better "ticker tape" view as they come up B'way.
Once again, an ear-splittingly loud packed house. Too bad no one got to see it on TV. As much as they'd love to keep Adamek in front of a packed partisan crowd, he'll probably fight Cunningham @ the Rock before going after a money match @ a catch weight somewhere else.
While I've got my issues w/ Bobby G, lack of players' effort has never been one. That's all you can ask of these kids. PG gives 100% on the court & will be sorely missed next year.

MBA Asks Regulators to Reissue QRM Rule and Start New Comment Period
On Aug. 1, the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) sent a 39-page comment letter to the six federal regulators who proposed a credit risk-retention rule under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The letter petitioned the regulators to essentially start over on their proposed definition of a Qualified Residential Mortgage (QRM).
The letter stated, "MBA believes the proposed regulations and structure of the QRM deviate significantly from what Congress intended and are likely to have a dramatic impact on the housing finance system unless they are substantially revised."
Getting more to the point, MBA said, "[W]e believe the wholesale changes needed to rework the proposal merit the issuance of a revised proposal along with another round of comments prior to finalizing the rule in order to fine-tune and make further adjust ments as appropriate."
Another separate MBA comment letter covered the rule's impact on the commercial/multifamily securitization market, but the 39-page letter focused solely on securitized home loans.
MBA noted at the start of its letter that there appeared to be a schism among those interpreting the intent of the original risk-retention provision in the Dodd-Frank law. MBA noted some believe that Congress intended the QRM-eligible loans would be comprised of "a small subset of pristine loans" that would benefit from a risk-retention exemption, while the vast majority of home loans would be subject to risk retention. MBA argued that it believed congressional intent was contrary to that interpretation.
"Others, including MBA, believe that Congress intended to clearly demarcate and set apart riskier loans, and require risk retention on that subset. This framework envisions capturing within the QRM definition the products and practices that lower default risk, such as those that have re-emerged since the collapse of the housing finance market," MBA wrote.
MBA offered a list of its principal concerns regarding the pro posed QRM rule as …

Austin film makers talk about filming Roller Derby when there was no Roller Derby to film
By Richard Whittaker, 12:06AM, Sun. Oct. 19, 2008
It's been a big few weeks for Bob Ray of Crashcam Films: A second child, a "Best of Austin" award for best emergent filmmaker, and the DVD release of his Roller Derby documentary Hell on Wheels.
The film tells the story of how modern-day rollerderby in Austin almost didn't happen. For the 300-plus leagues around the world, it's a lesson in the potential problems and internal politics of getting to the first bout (it's amazing how many leagues have gone through very similar problems, and how many survive to thrive like both the flat track Texas Rollergirls and the banked track Lonestar Rollergirls.)
Catching up with Ray and his producer/partner in crime Werner Campbell recently, they were talking about how the film almost didn't happen.
In part, they only started filming because their original planned project, a biography of Appalachian wildman musician Hasil Adkins, collapsed. Campbell's explanation for that is pretty simple: "The reason that he's so great for a documentary is he's totally insane, but the reason you aren't able to make a documentary about him is that he's totally insane."
Making a zero-budget indie doc is a labor of love, and Campbell's advice to novice film makers is pretty simple: Say goodbye to your credit rating. Both describe the decision to bring Conor O'Neill (editor of the magnificent sports doc Murderball) on-board as a great decision, but not the cheapest step. At least, by that stage, they had some footage to edit: According to Ray, who was there from the earliest practices, "There were times when we'd say, what if they never roll a bout?"
The film-making process took so long that soundtrack contributors And You Shall Know Us by the Trail of Dead changed line-ups twice between filming and releasing the final film. Then there was the famous and unsuccessful A&E series Rollergirls: When that failed, Crashcam Films found that distributors were wary of another Roller Derby project, which Ray found kind of, well, dumb. His description of the mindset is pretty simple: "You know that shitty vampire movie that failed?" he said. "Well, you can stop making vampire movies." Fortunately, that's where distributor Indiepix, (who their acquisition manager Jason Tyrell described as "supporters of independent films that other people won't touch, no matter how good they are") came in.
In hindsight, Ray's a little more philosophical about the impact of the show ("Whether it was a good show or not, or well-received by the general public or not, it got the name of Roller Derby out there.") The big winner, as Campbell and Ray have been able to see, is Roller Derby, and how far it's come from those early knock-around practices. As Ray explained, "To see 2,000 or 4,000 people in LA, where everyone is so jaded, screaming their heads off is just so cool."

Meetin on Downtown Monday February 23rd
Monday evening at the Caldwell Police HQ Mayor Namcolas will give us all the latest info on downtown Caldwell. (Monday February 23rd 6:00 PM)
This ought to be an interesing meeting as if follows the Caldwell Chamber of Commerce meeting this past week where the main topic was inaction with various "catalyst projects" from the new City Hall nobody has really asked for to the move from Sky Ranch to downtown for TVCC and other issues of Chamber members.
Questions for the Mayor and his team might be:
1. Who asked for a new city hall? (Nobody seems to know the answer to this.)
2. Who is making decisions with the TVCC project move from Sky Ranch to Downtown?
3. How much will the new city hall project cost taxpayers?
4. Is the D.L. Evans Bank project really at all stop?
5. How will downtown businesses cope with parking if TVCC is located in downtown?
6. Is it true the City of Caldwell told St. Lukes they were not intersted in a new St. Luke's hospital project on 20/26 near Sky Ranch?
7. Codes and draconian update requirements are limiting economic devleopment downtown. Why can't reasonable accomodations be made for existing non-compliant buildings be made?
8. Why is Caldwell mandating more than is required by the Americans With Disabilities Act. No oversight of the building official enforcing this is demonstrated and it is hurting small business in Caldwell.
It will be interesting to see Mayor Nancolas "tap dance" through all this stuff come Moncay evening.

A public discourse on the issues of the day makes the world a better place.
We welcome comments but they will be moderated and edited if too long or do not have anything to do with the post.
Agree or disagree just do it without profanity or it won't get posted. Try to keep your comments to no more than 300 words. Too long and I will try to edit it down or simply delete the comment. The whole idea is to get people to read your comment. Don't use 10 words when one will do the job.
It's OK to have a difference of opinion but keep it civil. I have used the "delete" feature on myself at times.
The ANONYMOUS feature for comments seems to be the most user friendly. People have commented they have difficulty with the other methods of posting comments.

Brent slips due to econ uncertainty, but stays above $109 on Algeria attack
- Tweet

* Asian shares consolidate, global growth worry weighs
* U.S. crude stocks fall, fuel stocks rise -EIA
* Brent to fall into $108.77-$109.17 range -technicals
* Coming Up: U.S. Housing starts Dec; 1330 GMT
By Manash Goswami
SINGAPORE, Jan 17 (Reuters) - Brent futures slipped on Thursday as signs of a weakening global economic outlook revived demand worries, but the contract stayed above $109 a barrel on supply concerns after Islamist militants attacked an Algerian gas field.
A series of data showing worsening economic conditions in Europe and the ongoing uncertainty surrounding an agreement over the U.S. debt ceiling weighed across financial markets.
But a surprise fall in crude inventory in the United States, the world's biggest oil consumer, offered additional support to oil.
Brent had slipped 14 cents to $109.54 a barrel by 0328 GMT. The February contract, which expired on Wednesday, settled 31 cents higher, while the March contract finished 5 cents up. U.S. oil slipped 32 cents to $93.94.
"There is a muddied, unclear economic picture. One day there is a bullish headline, the next day bearish," said Tony Nunan, oil risk manager for Mitsubishi Corp in Tokyo.
Washington said on Wednesday that U.S. citizens were among the hostages taken when Islamist militants raided a gas facility in Algeria and that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had telephoned Algeria's prime minister to discuss the incident.
The militants said they had kidnapped up to 41 foreigners, including seven Americans, in the dawn raid in retaliation for France's intervention in Mali, according to media reports. The raiders were also reported to have killed three people, including a Briton and a French national.
U.S. crude stocks fell last week as imports dropped and fuel stocks rose, according to weekly data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration on Wednesday.
Crude stocks fell by 951,000 barrels to 360.3 million barrels in the week to Jan. 11, the EIA said. Analysts polled by Reuters had expected stocks to rise by 2.3 million barrels. Imports fell by 312,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 7.99 million bpd in the week.
Supplies of gasoline rose by 1.91 million barrels, compared with analyst expectations for a 2.9 million barrel climb.
Brent is expected to drop into a range of $108.77-$109.17 per barrel, as it has broken below a support at $109.96, while signals are mixed for U.S. oil as it keeps hovering around resistance at $94.17 per barrel, according to Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao.

When and how did you get into djing?
Well it first started when i started going to Gatecrasher in Sheffield in !998/1999,it was the first proper club i'd been to and i was blown away by the music. I loved watching the dj's and thought i'd have a go so i bought
a pair of belt drive decks and a mixer, went to HMV in Leicester, bought a few records and went from there!
Best set you have witnessed?
The best set i have witnessed has got to be Cassius at the first Gatecrasher Summer sound System in Stratford, I remember them playing "Feeling for you" and just going absolutely mental!
What is your ultimate midnight tune?
Ultimate midnight tune has got to be Bob Sinclair "I Feel For You" absolute banger!

Finally, why do you love playing at Habit?
I love playing Habit because its such an amazing party! Everybody there is out for a good time and it never fails to go off.

"Sure!" confirms the guitarist.

I'm having some hot chocolate at the moment, and I have to say that there are times when a hot chocolate is the best thing you can possibly have. I don't have this very often, but when I do, it just puts me in a great frame of mind in an instant.
I used to get the same feeling when I would see my exam scores, back in medical school. But once you knew where you stood, you just found the nearest bed and passed out. This is completely different. You drink the hot chocolate, and then get motivated to get something accomplished.
A little news story caught my eye yesterday. It was buried inside the local newspaper, but you never know where you're going to find a gem.
There's a competition called the USA National Memory Championship, started in 1997 by Tony Dottino, President of the Dottino Consulting Group. While Tony's consulting group applied neuroscience to pragmatic applications in the business world, he was amazed to discover that most people were unaware of the amazing potential of their own brains.
As he discussed their unlimited and amazing brains, he discovered that most were deathly afraid to talk about the subject, especially as it related to memory.
Their number one concern: That as you get older, you'll lose your memory.
Tony set out to educate people, teaching, "Your brain is like a muscle, and must be exercised. When given the proper training, it gets stronger, regardless of age."
He hooked up with another Tony (Buzan), who had a little thing going in an English pub, where people competed with each other to demonstrate their powers of memory.
The USA Memory Championship was born out of that link.
So what's Chester's secret?
I'm getting to that.
Contestants in the Memory Championship compete in events like this:
1. Memorization of 99 names and faces
2. The order of a shuffled deck of cards
3. Poetry
4. Speed numbers
5. A list of 500 words or 1000 random numbers
Hell…I was humbled by just the list.
Chester is the defending National Memory Champion, and has competed for the last seven years.
Along with 3 hours a day of memory exercises, Chester takes fish oil, which he says improves his brain function, (as well as a B-complex vitamin, which he says improves his concentration).
Why? Well at least 30% of the brain is made of DHA, one of the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil. DHA is used by the body to maintain brain cell membranes and boosts brain power. So it's not surprising that Chester finds fish oil a great resource in boosting his memory.
Good food, exercise, and pharmaceutical grade fish oil will keep your brain functioning at an optimum level, as demonstrated by the defending champ. You can keep your own brain sharp by using an ultra pure pharmaceutical grade fish oil from the deep arctic waters of Norway.
Baby boomers rate memory loss and Alzheimer's as their number one health care concern. Pharmaceutical grade fish oil, along with a good diet and exercise can help keep your mind clear and sharp for a long time to come.
We might not be able to win the National Memory Championship, but we'll be able to remember where we parked.

This is a 3 tier wedding cake that I set up for a wedding at Coltsfoot Country Retreat in Hertfordshire. It's made up of 9", 7" and 5" tiers of victoria sponge. The wedding was New York themed so I created the NYC skyline graphics and then printed these on my edible printer.The heart topper is made from rice crispies and marshmallow and covered with sugar paste.

Jobs will return to the economy when logistical inefficiencies are weeded out. When I look at all of the connections along the global supply chain, there exists hundreds of opportunities for intermediaries to improve delivery of a good. For example, a friend of mine moved toilet paper closer to the warehouse door to eliminate the repeated movements of the forklift. That saved Dollar General almost a million dollars. Now, the workers can be relocated or investment can be made in their human capital. I think the next job surge will be in logistic functions. These can be in packaging, visability along the supply chain, marketing, procurement, management, and transportation.
I know these careers are not taught in AP microeconomics, but I believe that microeconomics is relevant.

Sorry, What to Watch took a turkey day break as last week was really light on new product worth mentioning. This week? Pretty much the same but we don't want you to miss us too badly. Here's five recent Blu-ray, DVD, and streaming releases that may have caught your attention on new release shelves lately, ranked in the order we'd add them to our holiday wish list.
Frank Langella
Blu-ray Review: Hold the Power of 'Masters of the Universe'
Submitted by BrianTT on October 18, 2012 - 3:25pmCHICAGO – Do kids still play with He-Man and Skeletor? When I was young, there wasn't a single kid at my school who didn't know these characters and pretend to harness the power of Greyskull. The irony of the Gary Goddard movie from 1987 wasn't just let that it was pretty awful but that it kind of came on the tail end of the "Masters of the Universe" trend. At least for me. By the time "Masters" came out, He-Man didn't have quite the same power. And Goddard's movie, recently released on Blu-ray, really didn't help.
Film Review: Frank Langella Shines in Delightful Sci-Fi Comedy 'Robot and Frank'
Submitted by mattmovieman on August 24, 2012 - 7:42amCHICAGO – Frank's world is fading before his eyes. With his wife gone and his children all grown up, Frank lives a reclusive existence, though he doesn't seem to be in particular need of company. His memory may be fading, but his instincts as a retired cat burglar are still ever-present. He can't helping stuffing a few soap figurines into his pockets while casually browsing through a store.
Slideshow: 28-Image Gallery For 'Unknown' With Liam Neeson, January Jones
Submitted by BrianTT on February 15, 2011 - 2:19pmCHICAGO – This 28-image slideshow contains most of the official press images for the highly-anticipated "Unknown," starring Liam Neeson, Diane Kruger, January Jones, Aidan Quinn, Bruno Ganz, and Frank Langella. The film was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. It will be released on February 18th, 2011.
Blu-Ray Review: Oliver Stone's 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps'
Submitted by BrianTT on January 7, 2011 - 1:15pmCHICAGO – Remember when every Oliver Stone movie caused waves? There was a time when he was a love-him-or-hate-him director who provoked conversation with every outing. Perhaps the most interesting thing about his recent work like "World Trade Center" and "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps," recently released on Blu-ray and DVD, is how little impact it has had. He seems to be making movies most people like but no one loves or hates. The sequel to one of his best films is a good drama but doesn't really resonate like the man used to do every time out.
Film Review: Ryan Gosling Cannot Save Disjointed 'All Good Things'
Submitted by BrianTT on December 23, 2010 - 3:48pmRating: 2.5/5.0 |
CHICAGO – Having loved Andrew Jarecki's "Capturing the Friedmans" and having recently named Ryan Gosling the best actor of his generation for his year-best work in "Blue Valentine," I was psyched to fall for their collaboration on the true-crime thriller "All Good Things." Sadly, my anticipation quickly turned to disappointment as this muddled work lurched toward a bizarre conclusion. Gosling and co-stars Kirsten Dunst and Frank Langella don't do anything wrong here but the movie is such a mash-up of tones, fiction, and reality that it never comes together into anything coherent.
Interview: Director Andrew Jarecki Expresses 'All Good Things'
Submitted by PatrickMcD on December 23, 2010 - 8:02amCHICAGO – Family secrets seems to be a specialty of Director Andrew Jarecki. He made a big splash with his 2003 Oscar nominated documentary, "Capturing the Friedmans," which explored the real life matters of the title family, and in his debut feature film narrative he uncovers a prominent New York City family in "All Good Things."
Film Review: Shia LaBeouf, Michael Douglas Drive Energetic 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps'
Submitted by BrianTT on September 24, 2010 - 8:32amCHICAGO – After a string of disappointments that include "Alexander," "World Trade Center" and "W," one of the best directors of the 1980s and 1990s at least draws closer to form with the entertaining "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps".
Blu-Ray Review: Richard Kelly Strains to Think Outside 'The Box'
Submitted by mattmovieman on February 26, 2010 - 1:24pmCHICAGO – Most filmmakers are content in recycling ideas. Richard Kelly strains to come up with new ones every time he steps behind a camera. It's difficult to think of him ever becoming a commercial commodity (thoughts of David Lynch directing "Return of the Jedi" come to mind). Yet Kelly's boundless ambition has often far exceeded his abilities.
Interview: Managing Expectations of Life, Love With 'Management' Director Stephen Belber
Submitted by BrianTT on May 14, 2009 - 1:10pmCHICAGO – Stephen Belber, the acclaimed playwright behind "The Laramie Project" and "Tape," which was adapted into a feature film by director Richard Linklater, makes his directorial debut this week with the quirky romantic comedy "Management" starring Steve Zahn and Jennifer Aniston. He took time out of his busy schedule to make an international call from Paris, France to discuss the film with HollywoodChicago.com.
Blu-Ray Review: Frank Langella, Michael Sheen in Ron Howard's 'Frost/Nixon'
Submitted by BrianTT on April 22, 2009 - 2:27pmBlu-Ray Rating: 3.5/5.0 |
CHICAGO – I want to love "Frost/Nixon". I'm generally forgiving of historical dramas, especially ones that paint Richard Nixon in a bad light. And I think the world of Michael Sheen, Frank Langella, Sam Rockwell, Rebecca Hall, and Oliver Platt. But "Frost/Nixon" is a good movie that was too commonly praised as a great one because of its subject matter and pedigree. Worth a rental? For sure. Worth a purchase or its Best Picture nomination? I don't think so.

this past week she co-hosted the red carpet of the emmys on E!. it was great fun watching the annoying mr. jay get upstaged by nene. it was even more fun to watch nene not shift gears because of her new surroundings. she was as "refined" as she is on her 'real housewives.'
i could just imagine lisa wu and sheree eating chips and being totally annoyed that they were not on the carpet. i mean, they are the ones who know the fashion world. (if this is your first time reading my blog, i am being sarcastic.)
i was celebrating nene's keep it real success and then all of a sudden a flash of nell carter went through my mind. i guess it wasn't really nell carter. it was nell carter as her character in 'gimme a break.' big, loud, sassy. then the flashes kept coming...
monique (pre-"precious"), louisse beavers, effie white, etc.
ms. leakes falls into a long line archetypal mammy characters that america has fallen in love with. she's nurturing, even with kim's kids. she's loud, sassy and tells it like it is.
and i love it.
there's a part of me though, that wants to see lisa and sheree get their own little piece of the pie. for me, that would actually be a forward step. they are "soulful," but in a much different way than nene is. ironically, there success hampered by their chiseled features and silky hair. i root for them in the same way i root for aisha tyler. not everybody has the capacity to suck their teeth, roll their eyes and necks as nene and monique, but there's room for all of us right?
my gut tells me that sheree might actually have a better go of things if she embraced the gays. she's a bitch, has high cheekbones and created the BEST catch phrase of the year, "who gon'check me boo?" she could have a good three year run at pride festivals just off of the catchphrase alone.
all this nell carter talk has me wanting to bump my 'ain't misbehavin' soundtrack.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over daily movements, we do like to keep an eye on market changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
It's late in the game, but the wheels are turning in Washington. According to a White House statement this afternoon, "The president's 3:00 p.m. meeting with the bipartisan leadership has been postponed to allow leaders in the Senate time to continue making important progress toward a solution that raises the debt limit and reopens the government."
Even as the October 17 debt ceiling deadline looms large, that sense of progress appears to have been sufficient to give stocks a winning day, with the S&P 500 and the narrower, price-weighted Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) gaining 0.4%.
Option traders took a less sanguine view, as the cost of hedging a stock portfolio rose, with the CBOE Volatility Index (VOLATILITYINDICES: ^VIX ) gaining 2.2% to close at 16.07 (which still seems very low, at this stage in the game). The VIX, Wall Street's "fear index," is calculated from S&P 500 option prices and reflects investor expectations for stock market volatility over the coming 30 days.
Microsoft: The search continues
At the beginning of the month, I highlighted the report that three of Dow component Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT ) top 20 investors, who represent an aggregate ownership stake of 5%, are pushing for co-founder Bill Gates to step down from the software company's board. One of their concerns was Gates' influence in selecting a successor to CEO Steve Ballmer. Microsoft announced on August 23 that Ballmer will retire within the next 12 months, as soon as the search for a new CEO is successful.
The Wall Street Journal just published an article that examines search process and it appears that there is no consensus regarding the profile of the next CEO. Two orientations are possible: someone with a technology background, who can play an instrumental role in driving product development (like Bill Gates), or a manager-type, someone who is experienced at managing a large organization (more like Steve Ballmer, although his only other experience at a large company was a two-year stint at Procter & Gamble as an assistant product manager before returning to business school).
The Journal reports that Ballmer himself is pushing the candidacy of Ford Motor (NYSE: F ) CEO Alan Mulally; the two are friends, and Mulally has acted as an advisor to the Microsoft CEO, including with regard to a massive reorganization announced in July.
I think Mulally could very well make a first-rate leader at a time when Microsoft is is struggling to find itself as consumers move toward a post-PC era. At Ford, he has certainly gained experience steering the automaker through a difficult, tumultuous period and he has good results to show for it. Alas, when the question was put to him by the media, Mulally said he was committed to staying at Ford through 2014. Nevertheless, Microsoft's search committee did approach Mulally, among at least eight outsiders and two Microsoft executives.
Another high-profile name on that list is Oracle President Mark Hurd, who was previously CEO of Hewlett-Packard. Here again, though, Hurd has declared that he plans to remain at Oracle (statements like this are a dime a dozen in business, however).
But getting back to another constituency, Microsoft's top investors -- what do they want? The article suggests they favor a managerial/operational guru in Mulally's mold, because they think that such an executive would give maximum regard to shareholder returns in his decision making. The acquisition of Nokia's handset business, Ballmer's "parting shot," is just the sort of thing these investors surely would want his successor to refrain from.
Will Ballmer's successor be able to navigate the post-PC world?
Steve Ballmer wanted to leave his imprint on Microsoft with a new strategic direction: turning the software concern into a "devices and services company." His successor will face a trillion-dollar revolution: mobile. To find out which of Microsoft and four other technology giants is set to rule the next decade, we've created a free report called "Who Will Win the War Between the 5 Biggest Tech Stocks?"

(AP) -- ROCHESTER, N.Y.- A 23-year-old Rochester man serving in Afghanistan has been killed.
The Department of Defense said soldier Theodore Glende died Friday in Kharwar in Logar province. He had been wounded when his unit was attacked with small-arms fire.
Glende was part of the First Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team.
His family said Glende graduated from Niagara University and was a newlywed.
Governor Andrew Cuomo directed that flags on state government buildings be flown at half-staff on Thursday in honor of Glende.
"I join with all New Yorkers in mourning the loss of Private Glende and I send my deepest sympathies to his family, friends, and fellow soldiers," Governor Cuomo said in a news release. "We will honor the service of this young soldier and we will be forever grateful for his dedication to our nation."

Organic Temper Tantrum
When Corey walked in the door with a bag of lettuce, I just lost it. Freaked out! I was so hot and tired and had walked so far and waited so long for the bus yesterday that I could not deal with one single thing going wrong. After yelling and raving like a madwoman, I ripped open the bread and shoved it in my mouth. That made me feel, if not better, at least less hungry.
This morning it is only 65 degrees and I feel much more excited about the lettuce. We also got fresh rosemary and a recipe for rosemary bread. Perhaps the light crate load is not the end of the world after all. The true enemy is global warming! What will I do if such heat takes over the world and I am forced to deal with my temper tantrums every day??

A hydria (plural: hydriai) was an ancient Greek vessel in clay or bronze used to carry water. Two horizontal handles were used to carry the vessel and one vertical handle to pour. This example is from Attica, c. 500 BCE and the main body depicts two sirens with grapes and vine leaves. (British Museum, London).
Making and decorating Athenian black- and red-figure vases
Trustees of the British Museum
published on 02 August 2011 |
The first stage in making a pot is to dig the clay out of the ground. Pieces of grit or plant matter must be removed before the clay can be used. This was done in ancient times, as it is today, by mixing the clay with water and letting the heavier impurities sink to the bottom. This process could be carried out as many times as necessary. When judged... [continue reading]

Black Figure Pottery
Mark Cartwright published on 18 June 2012 |
Ancient Greek black-figure pottery (named after the colour of the depictions on the pottery) was first produced in Corinth c. 700 BCE and then adopted by pottery painters in Attica, where it would become the dominant decorative style from 625 BCE and allow Athens to dominate the Mediterranean pottery market for the next 150 years.

YellowRose, The rural areas of Texas as well as the rural areas of most of the country are the outliers. I was looking at the state by state voting in each state. Most of the state's rural counties were red while most of the larger urban counties were blue.
Without a strong Democrat candidate running for a state office, Dallas, Travis, Bexar and El Paso counties voted for Obama. Harris county was even and over the years Tarrant county has began its shift toward the left. A strong candidate against Cornyn in 2016 and some money from the presidential level will present a competitive Texas.
The 2,200 voters in Lincoln County Colorado voted for Romney with 74%, while the 157,000 voters in Adams County voted for Obama with 56%.
Adams County is 74% white with a median income of $47,000. It's a suburb of Denver.
