Prep 10 mins

These were our favourite after-school treat in the 1960's - lovingly made by our grandma. Just three simple ingredients and hardly any preparation. Not only do these luscious treats look like beehives - you'd swear they had honey in them. After keeping for a while they might weep a little sticky liquid through the bottom - but don't worry, this makes them taste even yummier.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 cups desiccated coconut
- Set oven to moderate 180°C (350°F).
- Grease a baking (cookie) sheet.
- Break egg into a small mixing bowl and beat until it is thick and pale lemon coloured and the beaters leave a 'trail' through the mixture.
- Gradually add the sugar, beating well after each addition.
- Fold in the coconut.
- Now, spoon some of the mixture into an egg cup (or a glass of a similar shape and size).
- DO *NOT* PRESS DOWN FIRMLY - merely tap very lightly with one finger just to smooth it off.
- Then, turn the egg cup upside down over the baking sheet and, holding it very slightly above the surface, tap the side sharply with a knife to release the mixture onto the sheet.
- Repeat.
- Bake on the centre shelf of a pre-heated 180°C (350°F) oven for 15-20 minutes or until beehives are golden brown.
- Remove from oven when cooked and gently use a knife to loosen the beehives from the baking sheet.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- When cool, store in an airtight biscuit (cookie) tin.

These are easy to make and very cute. They took less time to cook in my oven, only about ten minutes. Thanks for posting.
I have to agree with other reviewers, these are "dainty" and sooo delicious! It was a little tricky getting them to come out of the egg cup in one piece, but I soon learned the secret. I also lowered the temp on the oven to 325 F. after reading Chef DVM's review (thanks), and they browned nicely in about 15 minutes. The best part is, DH hates coconut, so these are all for me!!! Yum!!Thanks, Kooka!
Delicate and delicious! I would definitely make these again, and am serving this batch at a cocktail party. I ran into only two spots of trouble: 1) more than a light tapping was required on the shot-glass mould I used so that they would not fall apart on the cookie tray; 2) They cooked in 5 minutes in my oven at 350, and were a little dark around the edges - I dropped the temp to 330 and they did better, achieving golden brown in 10 mins.

Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer gave a forthright public assessment of his company Thursday, confronting the huge advantage Google...
Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer gave a forthright public assessment of his company Thursday, confronting the huge advantage Google holds in Internet search — even among devoted users of Microsoft products — and calling Windows Vista a "work in progress."
He was speaking in Seattle to a conference of about 1,700 Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals, independent IT experts who specialize in Microsoft software and services. It is an important constituency for Microsoft, one that is friendly but also highly knowledgeable and unabashedly critical.
Ballmer said at the outset that he was expecting to have "a little bit more wild and woolly, rockin' and reelin' kind of a discussion than I do with my average customer group." By the end of the hourlong speech and discussion, he sported a Canada hockey jersey and a Homer Simpson necktie — gifts from the audience — and a sheet of notes he took on ways to improve Microsoft.
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Boeing tankers will be delivered to Air Force late — and incomplete
- Bellevue School District seeks to fire football coach Goncharoff over scandal
- A six-pack of observations from Seahawks' OTAs: Justin Britt, Alex Collins, Tharold Simon and more
- Paul Allen ends KEXP's yearslong fundraising drive with $500,000 donation
Most Read Stories
Discussing the company's trailing position in online services, Ballmer referred to the uncertainty surrounding Microsoft's $31-a-share bid for Yahoo. Yahoo has reportedly sought several alternatives to Microsoft's acquisition, including, most recently, a tie-up with Google for search advertising.
"In the online area we've got a lot of users. We've got some big competitors. We've got some big whatevers — competitors or acquisition targets, whatever you want to call them. We've got a little bit of everything out there," Ballmer said.
Ballmer said Microsoft is the global leader in e-mail and instant messaging, but in Internet search — the biggest source of online revenue — "we are the clear No. 3 in the market."
In March, 59.8 percent of U.S. Internet searches were done with Google. Yahoo's search engine ranked No. 2, with 21.3 percent. Microsoft had 9.4 percent, according to online measurement company comScore.
Ballmer sought his own anecdotal measure of search share from the audience of IT pros, many of whom have dedicated their careers to becoming expert in Microsoft's products.
"How many of you use Live Search as your default?" Ballmer asked.
A smattering of hands went up. Tepid applause.
"How many of you use Yahoo search as your default?"
Far fewer hands went up and the room was relatively quiet, until it filled with laughter. He asked again and got the same response.
"Wow, we offered 31 bucks a share," he said, to more laughter.
"How many of you use Google as your default?" Ballmer asked.
The vast majority in the audience raised their hands, cheering and hooting.
Ballmer looked around. Smiled. Scratched his cheek. Rubbed his face with his hand.
He talked about the company's efforts to improve Internet search and asked the MVPs to set their default search engines to Live Search for a week later this year, and send him e-mail describing their experience.
Ballmer gave a muted report on Windows Vista — the company's flagship operating-system product — which, according to some analysts, faces a make-or-break year in 2008.
"Windows Vista," he said, pausing for a moment, "a work in progress.
"A very important piece of work, and I think we did a lot of things right and I think we have a lot of things we need to learn from. Certainly, you never want to let five years go between releases."
Vista, on the market for more than a year, followed Windows XP, which some users and businesses are favoring and even petitioning Microsoft to continue selling after June 30, the scheduled end of most sales.
Ballmer appeared to be open to a discussion about that date.
"We have some customers, a lot of customers using Vista. A lot of customers," Ballmer said. "And we have a lot customers that are choosing to stay with Windows XP and as long as those are both important options, we will be sensitive and we will listen and we will hear that.
He added, "I know we're going to continue to get feedback from people about how long XP should be available. We've got some opinions on that. We've expressed our views, but certainly to this crowd … I'm always interested in hearing from you on these and other issues."

Everyone knows smoking is bad for you, but quitting isn't as easy as just going cold turkey. When you're ready to quit smoking, FDA-approved Commit has created a line of fast-acting nicotine lozenges to help control your cravings and increase the likelihood of your ultimate success. That's because Commit delivers craving-fighting medicine that is absorbed directly via the lining of the mouth and continues to work even after the lozenge is gone. Commit comes from the makers of Nicorette and was the first nicotine lozenge available over the counter. This temporary alternative source of nicotine also relieves nicotine withdrawal symptoms without exposing consumers to tars and carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke. As part of the 12-week Commit program, the quitter uses fewer and fewer lozenges each day until he or she is nicotine free.

This review is from: ViewSonic PJL6243 1024 x 768 3000 ANSI Lumens 3LCD Projector 2000:1
Pros: Out of the box it works great, the colors are as true as the monitor that they were created on. Set was a snap, adusted focus and sizing to match the screen. Image is very sharpe.
Cons: No cons so far.
Other Thoughts: This unit is replacing a DLP unit and compaired to the DLP there is no comparison, wish we would of bought this instead of the DLP. The only good thing about the DLP is it was replaced the first time it went bad (sticking Mirrors causing the display to have snow or spots all over on it.

How are flight times determined? I once flew a very fast aircraft across "the pond" and just before we left the aircraft, the captain announced our trip was 3h16m, one of the faster crossings. I was wondering if that was gate to gate, wheels up to touchdown, or some other method of measurement.

I'm trying to work out if previous datacenter failures on AWS have just applied to a single "availability zone" or the whole region. Does anyone know the details of the extent of the worst AWS failure?

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Amazon AWS has suffered at least two major outages in its life.
The first, in April of 2011, affected one of the availability zones in US-East.
The second, in June of 2012, affected one of the availability zones in US-East. During this event, for a short period of time it was not possible to start new instances in any US-East availability zone.
Both failures were pretty bad, though they seem to have resolved them pretty well overall.

Prerequisites: Nine semester hours of coursework in English or rhetoric and writing.
Description: In recent years, numerous public discussions and critical commentaries have focused on the purported tensions between Black and Latino communities. By examining Black and Latino artistic products and cultural practices from the 1940s to the present, the historical trajectory of this course encourages students to challenge recent constructions of Black/Latino relations as inherently conflictual. We will pay particular attention to both thematic resonances between Black and Latino art and to actual Black/Latino artistic collaborations in theatre, dance, performance art, performance poetry, music, fashion and style. We will also study works by Afro-Latino artists whose art disrupts the discrete categories that often separate the two communities. Throughout the course, students will 1) chart a history of collaborations and resonances between Black and Latino artists; 2) identify Black and Latino aesthetic styles and traditions; and 3) develop and practice analytical skills for approaching the question: "What is Black and/or Latino performance?"

Requirement and Grading: In addition to regular attendance and active participation, there are THREE ASSIGNMENTS required for this course:
1) Creative Response 25%
2) Performance Analysis 25%
3) Final Project 50%
a. Presentation component 20%
b. Written component 30%
1) Creative Response
DUE: During the second week of class, each student will sign up for a day to share their response.
A response to the performance/music/play/dance/style that is in a form other than a written analysis. This could be visual art: a collage, a drawing, a painting; sculpture or a "prop" or tool or machine; music or sound; food; movement, gesture, or dance; or another written form: poetry, for example. The purpose of this approach is to encourage a different, perhaps more intuitive response to and analysis of the performance. Also, please include a short (less than one page typed, double-spaced) explanation of your response.
2) Performance Analysis
DUE: On the day we discuss the performance you are analyzing.
A 2-3-page, typed, double-spaced paper (around 500-750 words) in which you offer your own original interpretation of a performance form or cultural style studied this semester. Your essay should begin with Observation: What do you read or see or hear or feel? Then expand to Analysis: How does this observation connect to other elements of the performance or cultural artifact or create a pattern? And finally move to: Interpretation: What is significant about this observation? What does it mean? How does it contribute to the total meaning of the performance or cultural product?
3) Final Project
The final project is comprised of the following steps:
1) Proposal Draft (1 page typed abstract)
2) Presentation/Performance (15 min)
3) Completed Written Project (10-15 pp)
This project provides each seminar participant the opportunity to critically investigate and/or creatively produce Black or Latino performance. The project includes both an oral and written component. The oral component can take the form of a scholarly presentation or lecture, an original performance, an art installation, or an interactive workshop. The written component can take the form of a theoretical or historical research paper, an original script accompanied by an introductory "Artist's Statement," or a curatorial essay. We will explore other options as the semester proceeds.

What makes a diva a diva? How are our ideas about performance, spectatorship, space, and capital shaped by the diva figure? This course explores the central role of the diva—the celebrated, iconic, and supremely skilled female performer—in the shaping and re-imagining of racial, gendered, sexual, national, temporal, and aesthetic categories. Students in this course will theorize the cultural function and constitutive aspects of the diva and will analyze particular performances of a range of divas from the 20th and 21st centuries.

By Zachary Swickey
Beatles fans have something to get excited about! It appears legendary director Martin Scorsese is finally ready to reveal his much anticipated documentary on the group's late guitarist, George Harrison.
A posting on the Harrison's website states the special will air on HBO over the nights of October 5 and 6 later this year. The project is much more than just a film documentary. Dubbed George Harrison: Living in the Material World, it is a collaboration with the guitarist's widow, Olivia, that also includes a coffee table book she organized, which is due in September. The set will reportedly trace the guitarist's life through rare photographs, old home videos and plenty of unreleased live footage. Also included will be interviews with Harrison's old chums: Eric Clapton, Tom Petty, director Terry Gilliam, producer Phil Spector, Yoko Ono and of course the two living Beatles, good ole' Paul and Ringo.
"Spending time with Olivia, interviewing so many of George's closest friends, reviewing all of that footage, some of it never seen before, and listening to all of the magnificent music – it was a joy, and an experience I'll always treasure," Scorsese said in a statement.
For more on the doc, as well as Scorsese's long history of music-related films, read on.
The project is clearly in good hands, as Scorsese is passionate about his love for music. There is no greater evidence of this than the man's filmography. The Last Waltz – about The Band's final performance – is often touted as one of the greatest concert films ever made. Scorsese is vocal about his love for blues music, and also directed the documentary Feel Like Going Home for PBS on the father of Chicago Blues, Muddy Waters.
Boasting appearances from Jack White and Christina Aguilera, 2008's Shine a Light showed that the Rolling Stones are as relevant as ever. Clocking in at well over three hours, Marty's documentary on Bob Dylan, No Direction Home, was extremely thorough, and with fine detail showed the folk singer's rise to becoming the icon that he is. For several years the director tried to get a Bob Marley documentary into production, but after numerous delays, he aborted the project.
So yeah … the guy knows what he's doing and we can't wait to see the final product.

I have been worrying about how unfit I am after a winters lay off so Today was time for a "Fun Ride". Just a gentle ride down to the coast for coffee and to see a couple of my old customers.
8 miles to the first customer and had the Garmin on and left off the Heart monitor and put the I Pod on instead. After all- it was only a gentle ride and I did not want to arrive at the customer all hot and out of breath. Couple of miles to warm up and Status Quo came on and as usual I matched the cadence. About 95 on this song. Looked at the speedo and I was up to 18mph. Wonder if I can get to 20 so up a gear and push. Looked down and I was at 25. I don't do 25 unless it is downhill and with a tailwind. It was as near as dammit flat and it was a cross wind. Saw the customer and onto the cafe. Picked up another rider after about 100 yards and he was on a Giant Defy-and had a low cadence. Into a headwind and he was slow so I took the lead and just went up a bit from his pace. 3 miles later he drew alongside me and one of the questions was why I pedalled so fast. Without getting technical- I just told him I wasn't fast but he was slow and explained the problems of low cadence. 3 miles later and I got to the cafe and he stopped and thanked me for upping his speed. He had got the bike about a year ago and just rode it on his days off and today with the higher cadence he found it so much easier. Hope he did as I had been heading into a 15mph headwind and shielding him. Had coffee and onto the next customer. They were upset that I wouldn't have coffee with them so 20 minutes later and I was on my way.
I Pod still on and I went up the MUP to get a bit of shelter from the wind. Won't try it again--It's full of old people out getting exercise by cycling- walking the dog and chatting to any one they see. It got crowded at times. Now most of my music is at a cadence of 85 to 95 so tried to get comfortable on cadence to the beat. Today- for some reason- I had to keep changing into a higher gear to stay on top of the music.
So one good ride where I didn't train- didn't bother about speed- didn't worry about working. I still want to know how that ride normally has an average of just over 13mph. Today I managed 16 and I know that is wrong because I forgot to pause the Garmin at the last coffee so that included a 20 minute stop on a 24 mile ride that took just under two hours door to door.
I'll have to do more leisurely "Fun" rides.

Using Internet Archives for checking Domain Age
Checking the first archive page is a good indicator of domain age. The largest and most popular archive is the Wayback Machine which contains 10 billion pages collected as early as year 1996, just a year before Larry and Sergey first crawled the internet using a program named Googlebot in year 1997.
A number of Domain age checkers such as webconfs.com are using their library index for domain age. Archive-it and WebCite are other alternatives but with only limited index usually images, pdf's and newspaper articles.
How to check the age of domain using archives:
- Go to Wayback Machine page.
- Enter the homepage of the domain. i.e. http://www.heraldsun.com.au
- Click "Take me Back"
- The first archive page would presumably represent the first published date. For http://www.heraldusn.com.au, it's November 5, 1996.
- Do the math. So for heraldsun.com.au, as of today Jan-2011, its age of domain is about 14 years old.
It's a quick and easy process. Before launching up any SEO startup campaign, further understanding on the background of domain age would be an instrumental part in your competition analysis phase then draw conclusions by investigating your methodology's pros and cons:
- Has information in which are not available in Whois Registration details.
Whois sometimes provides limited support to some sites with different local TLD's such as .com.au and other countries. Checking its local internet registrar doesn't help either, all it provides is its date of the latest modication of the domain registration details unto which does not provide much helpful insights to SEO.A whois lookup for www.heraldsun.com.au will on return the latest modification date of the domain name.
- A very good indicator of when the site started publishing content.
Google takes into account when it started publishing content, getting readership and acquiring backlinks. This is the key element of correlating age with authority. Domain registration details hold an ill-defined description of the Age-Authority concept. Some domains are parked, blank with it was first registered –therefore not drawing enough recognition for SEO score.
- Provide a webpage snapshot back through time.
A lot could happen for a domain within 5 years. It could have expired, dormant or purchased, offering a different topic. For a site to earn authority through time, it should be consistent and dynamic.
- Limited information size.
Web spiders for these archives can only support a small part of the overly large size of the internet web pages. This signifies that some sites may not be found in internet archives at all. Since most of these organizations are not well-funded and offering these services for free, it is only fair to concur and make use of what's available.
- Inaccurate age
Its archive technology would predominately rely on links for the spiders to recognize new web pages. A new site with poor online promotion would have an inaccurate domain age which is consequent to late archive dates.
Internet archives provide the best SEO component for domain age. This demonstrates how the site accumulates topical authority over time. Showing the best results ranges down to relevance and authority –authority in the form of on-page and off-page groundwork. 80% of these is derived from links — quantity and most importantly quality; 20% coming from on-page –content quality and the age of your domain, which is the summation of your expertise and trust value as you go through time.

I think I'll just keep doing eyes and cutie marks the way I've been doing them.
As far as I know, no one else does them the way I do, so might as well keep something special, right?
Plus, I might have to stop making plushies for a while when I move to San Francisco to finally go back to school this fall, and I have more important things to save up for.

Crowdfund This! HP Lovecraft Adaptation THE DREAMLANDS!
Heads up, fans of HP Lovecraft! The team responsible for previous Lovecraft adaptation Die Farbe are back at it, this time tackling Lovecraft's Dream Cycle with The Dreamlands, and they're looking for your help.
Director Huan Vu and his team have set a lofty goal for themselves, aiming to raise two hundred thousand Euro for the project, so they need fans to step up and help out. Check out the pitch video below.
Roland, a troubled young orphan, is led by a mysterious old man into another world. This is a world that has been created over thousands of years by Earth's greatest dreamers while they slept. In this world the old man reigns as king and hopes to train and guide Roland to be his successor.
Unfortunately Roland cannot overcome the dark shadows that weigh upon him and he is forced to decide whether he will use his abilities to keep building the Dreamlands or to destroy what others have already created.

//Loft building on the Bathurst Quay and a passerby. Nikon 8800.
On to day three -- the final day -- of "Photobloggers, Unplugged". The past week has been a whirlwind of learning -- the weekend a whirlwind of loving. So many friends, strangers, and those somewhere in between have come out this weekend to check out the exhibit. ~sigh~ It's been pretty inspiring.
Yesterday, Sean and I spent the afternoon at the gallery meeting countless folks who came in off the street or heard about it from whoever. It's been difficult to get the show promoted with how last minute it all came together, and we haven't had as much support as we would have liked from online colleagues, but hey, it's gone even better than we'd imagined. Thanks to all who visited, shared their thoughts, experiences, camera stories, tips, kuddos, etc. Special thanks to those who supported us by buying prints as well. We can't wait to send you home with them.
If you haven't dropped by yet, stop into the Magic Pony Gallery (785 Queen St West) between 12-6pm today.

It's almost de rigueur for Prairie gardeners to start seeds indoors during long winter months to wring a few extra weeks out of a notoriously short growing season. Sowing seeds in soilless mix is the usual route, but Willem Kuyt, a Carvel, Alberta, gardener and nursery owner, uses a less traditional medium.
Kuyt says using gelatin, which is rich in phosphorus and calcium, improves germination rates and produces sturdy seedlings. It's also less expensive and cleaner to work with than soilless mix, he says. Kuyt moved to Alberta from Holland two years ago, where gelatin is used in universities to start seedlings indoors. Here's how it's done.
The following recipe yields enough gelatin to fill one 50- by 25-centimetre tray or four 12.5- by 25-centimetre trays. Alternatively, use short Mason jars. You don't need to water the germinating seeds, so drainage holes aren't necessary. Whatever containers you use, make sure they're deep enough to allow for a five-centimetre layer of gelatin, which will accommodate about 1,000 tiny seeds (like poppy) or 200 large seeds (like bean).
Preparating the gelatin
- In a 5-litre saucepan, sprinkle 150 millilitres of unflavoured gelatin powder over 500 millilitres of cool water. (Gelatin packages generally come in 15-millilitre envelopes, so for smaller batches, divide water and fertilizer amounts by 10.)
- Pour 500 millilitres of boiling water into the mixture and stir one to two minutes, until gelatin dissolves.
- Add 30 millilitres of water-soluble fertilizer such as 20-20-20; stir for another two minutes.
- Add 2.5 litres of boiling water, stir lightly and pour into wide-mouth Mason jars. Boil the jars in a canner for five minutes to sterilize the growing medium.
- Let cool to below 38ºC, then pour the mixture into plastic trays that have been washed with a 10 per cent solution of bleach and water, and then rinsed, or small Mason jars that have been sterilized.
- Place clear plastic or glass coverings over the trays or jars and let sit overnight.

The Major General Anthony J. Drexel Biddle Medal was awarded to Mr. Norman D. Harkins for his outstanding contributions to the Association of the United States Army and its First Region.
As a New England native and long-time resident, Mr. Harkins has had a close affinity for—and lasting commitment to—the region he represented as president of the Association of the United States Army's First Region. From his work at Raytheon to his support for numerous programs benefiting Soldiers and veterans, Mr. Harkins has spent more than forty years championing the missions and values of the Association of the United States Army.
Over the years Mr. Harkins has spearheaded support for organizations that reflect AUSA's mission and values, such as Fisher House Boston and the National Education for Assistance Dog Services' Canines for Combat Veterans program. On a more personal level, last year the Harkins family participated in the Northern New York–Fort Drum Chapter's Adopt a 10th Mountain Platoon Program, which connects deployed platoons to sponsors back in the United States through letters and care packages, giving them a taste of home while they are so far away.
Mr. Harkins has also been the driving force behind a number of initiatives aimed at public outreach for the Army and its Soldiers. He has been a key supporter of the region's ROTC Ranger Challenge, has coached Raytheon's Army Ten-Miler team to twelve consecutive victories and has recently been working with the Army Recruiting Command to establish the New England Community advisory board—a group designed to promote values education, fitness and service in New England high schools.
Through his relationship with the Association of the United States Army, Mr. Harkins has served as president of the Minutemen Chapter as well as president of the First Region. Mr. Harkins continues to advise and support current AUSA leaders and initiatives. When the European Department recently experienced an unexpected change in leadership, he stepped up and provided guidance until the new leadership was in place. He is currently serving as president of the Fort Dix Chapter.
In recognition of his dedicated and dynamic support to AUSA and its overriding goal—Voice for the Army, Support for the Soldier—the Association of the United States Army proudly presented the Major General Anthony J. Drexel Biddle Medal to Mr. Norman Harkins on the tenth day of October, two thousand eleven.

We are not against exploring. We feel like man or woman are at their greatest when they have pressed the limits of exploration and discovery, whether it be the Vikings, Magellan, Lewis and Clark, Edmund Hillary, or Apollo 11. Adventure not only makes for a great story, but it sets the standard of what humanity can achieve as a species.
But let us be honest here. We feel like the complete opposite of the greatness of humanity and exploration comes in the form of a cruise ship. The custom-built, vacation on a moving walkway over the sea, Titanic-sinking cruise ship. We are not sure who's idea it was, but ships were made for exploring and discovering new lands, shipping cargo, and getting the hell out of Europe in the 1920's. They were not made to house movie theaters, norovirus, and swimming pools. People used to travel months and months on a ship in order to get off of it and never get back on, not to go from port to port to eat at resort restaurants and drink margaritas.
If this recent footage of a cruise ship being tossed around 30-foot waves off the coast of Antarctica is any indication of why cruise ships are a bad idea, we don't know what is.
Here are 4 reasons why cruise ships are a bad idea and why we will never go one one:
1) Antarctic storms: We think we covered that in the video above.
2) Pirates: There are a lot of pirate problems these days, so much so that we won't travel near the Red Sea for fear of Somalian pirates, and we are sure that there are Alaskan, Antarctic, and Aegean Sea pirates that like people taking relaxing cruises and will rob them blind while helpless on a boat. Seriously, there are gangsters and kidnappers on land, and their are pirates of the sea.
3) Norovirus: Outbreaks of norovirus infection often occur in closed or semi-closed communities, such as long-term care facilities, overnight camps, hospitals, prisons, dormitories, and cruise ships where the infection spreads very rapidly either by person-to-person transmission or through contaminated food.[10] Many norovirus outbreaks have been traced to food that was handled by one infected person.[11]
You read that cruise ship part, right? No way we are getting on any cruise ship now where we can't leave when an outbreak occurs. The whole point of being a human is to leave an outbreak, not stick with it for 7 days in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Self-explanatory sh*t people.
4) David Foster Wallace taught us not to like them: One of our favorite writers ever, DFW (RIP), once wrote an essay we consider life changing called "Shipping Out: On the (Nearly Lethal) Comforts of a Luxury Cruise."
It's no accident they're so white and clean, for they're clearly meant to represent the Calvinist triumph of capital and industry over the primal decay-action of the sea.
God, we loved David Foster Wallace. This essay sums it up.
Perhaps a visit to the casino or a little dancing in the disco? Maybe a quiet drink in the piano bar or a starlit stroll around the deck? After discussing all your options, everyone agrees: 'Let's do it all.'
-In Conclusion-
These people go on cruises, the Tommy Bahama dad and soon-to-be Bahama son. There should never be anything Bahamas in Kansas City malls, and the cruise ship has done this to us.

I'm still new to PHP and was wondering if anyone could share any ideas or enlightenment to what I would love to have on my site.
I have a PC repair business and I would love to have an area where clients could login and get the following information.
- Section to make a payment (using PayPal)
- A section to download any documents/media
- A place to pull up quotes
- Edit Contact Information
- Anything else that might be pertinant...
I'm hoping someone might have already made a plugin similar to this or that someone could shed some light on what I would really need to get this fully up and running.
Thanks in advance.

The digital delights of Sony's scrumptious PlayStation Network service know no bounds. Aside from letting punters compete in online gaming, stream films, browse the Internet and more, its premier attraction rests in the copious supply of downloadable games ripe for the picking. From PSN exclusives to PSOne Classics, minis and plain old add-on content, Sony's online space is chock full of goodies battling it out for your hard-earned digital dollars.
Welcome back to another installment of Inside PlayStation Network, where every Monday – Friday we'll pluck a PSN release—be it new or old—and put it in the spotlight for a thorough dissection. Fancy getting a new PSN game but don't know what one to plump for? Perhaps this feature will help. Didn't realize that a game was available in your region until now? We've got you covered. Or, perhaps you were musing over what those lucky Japanese folk were tucking into over in the Land of the Rising Sun? You can be sure our coverage will extend to those rare regional exclusives as much as those firmly embedded on the public consciousness.
Today, we shine the spotlight on the PSP Mini outing, Ice Road Truckers.
Developer: Slitherine
Region(s) available: North America, Europe
Players: 1
Based on the TV series of the same name, Ice Road Truckers plonks you in the driving seat of one of several mammoth 18-wheel rigs as you race against the clock to reach the safety of the next checkpoint. Simple enough you might think, but when you have to contend with skidding all over the place on the icy roads and being bumped off the track by your competitors, things can get quite perilous. Speaking of tracks, there's 15 of them in total, each one getting progressively more difficult as you rake in the wins.
Your overall objective is to lug your truck's cargo to the goal destination, which in turn rewards you with cash. The faster you are, the more dough you'll receive, which you can then use to purchase additional courses. Each truck meanwhile boasts its own performance in terms of acceleration, speed, handling and loading, with five vehicles in total up for grabs. Manipulating the massive machines couldn't be more simple – just hit X to put the pedal to the metal, or square to ease on the breaks and steer using the analogue nub or d-pad.
Elsewhere, hitting select will flick through a series of different viewpoints, including a cab view, first-person, sideways, front-on and top down. You better be vigilant however; hitting a patch of thin ice will require you to take part in some dexterous driving, with the game prompting you to keep your speedometer in the green zone to avoid plunging in.
Concurrently, you'll also have to keep in mind you have a time limit, so it's a case of finding the right balance where you're fast enough to finish the job, but not to the extent of putting yourself in peril. Ice Road Truckers also encourages you to replay previous stages in order to better your completion time, a feat made considerably easier when you've managed to unlock the best trucks.
Join us again tomorrow as we once again go for a spin Inside PlayStation Network.

'My Parents' Divorce' would not, on the face of it, seem the freshest subject for a film. Yet in his third feature, "The Squid and the Whale," Noah Baumbach molds this familiar material into a searing character study marked by telling detail and emotional veracity. At 2005 Sundance (where adolescent angst is the coin of the realm), the film snagged the Walt Saldo Screenwriting and Dramatic Directing awards. And it also more than held its own in the lineup of high-profile auteurs at this year's New York Film Festival.
With equal parts sadness and humor, Baumbach explores the fallout on sixteen-year old Walt (Jesse Eisenberg) and twelve year old Frank (Owen Kline) of an acrimonious divorce between their literary Brooklyn-based parents. Bernard, the father (a bearded Jeff Daniels), is an academic slash novelist whose writing career is stalled, while that of his wife, Laura Linney's Joan (who instigated the divorce), is blossoming. Boxed into an awkward joint custody calendar, the boys quickly draw up sides in the post- marital meltdown: Frank aligns with his mother; Walt with his father, whom he reveres, vicariously absorbing Bernard's humiliation and rage. Typical of the film's painful comedy, Walt and his split parents all pursue romance at the same time.
The POV shifts among characters, but really it's Walt's film, the story of an elder son and his father. Jesse Eisenberg, his distress radioed by his clenched shoulders, and Jeff Daniels, eyes glinting like a cornered bear's, make you ache for these characters, while laughing at how they armor themselves with cultural touchstones. The film suggests that in effect, the son must symbolically kill the father in order to move on -- and it's partly this mythic subtext that makes the drama so resonant.
Baumbach also co-wrote "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" and the upcoming "The Fantastic Mr. Fox" with fellow writer-director Wes Anderson. Recently, the filmmaker, who's silkily handsome in the Adrien Brody mode (minus the Armanis), spoke with indieWIRE contributor Erica Abeel about transmuting real life into fiction, directing an Oscar-worthy performance, and comedy-drama as action film.
indieWIRE: Did you ever worry the subject of "The Squid and the Whale" was banal?
Noah Baumbach: Yah. Two contrasting things kept me from writing this story: on the one hand, everyone deals with divorce – it's too universal. On the other, it's too specific to my family, and won't resonate beyond that. Unconsciously, at some point I just let go and thought, Let's see what happens.
iW: What was your budget?
Baumbach: A million and a half. We shot in twenty-three days.
iW: And how did you choose the Park Slope locations?
Baumbach: The brownstone we used belonged to my childhood friend Ben and his wife Molly. They were really generous to let us transform their place and relocate while we filmed. Shooting in places that had real meaning to me helped me connect with the material on both a visceral and creative level. I also used my parents' real books. And I put Jeff [Daniels] in my dad's clothes.
iW: Have your parents seen the film, and how did they react? Have you heard that question before?
Baumbach: I have, yeah. They liked the movie. It's funny, I think in a way -- and I take this as a compliment -- other people assume the movie is, like, actually more revealing than I think it is. For me the movie feels like a protection. In order to make it, I wrote in a very personal, raw, uncensored way about very familiar things to me. But doing that allowed me to reinvent it. If this movie weren't so effectively fictionalized, it wouldn't feel so real. I'm sure it's weird, though -- to see something even somewhat related to what we went through. But my parents are both writers so they kind of get it. My dad rooted for Walt to leave the hospital room.
iW: Wasn't the film an indictment of the parents? They struck me as pretty selfish and inappropropriate.
Baumbach: I'm completely open to that interpretation. I don't necessarily feel the same way. I feel affection for them -
iW: You mean the characters?
Baumbach: The characters, yeah yeah [laughter]. My parents I love. Some people feel the way you do, and others think the parents are trying as hard as they can. It depends on what stuff of their own people are bringing to the movie. To be able to write the film, I didn't judge them.
iW: Still, the way they talk to their kids about their sex lives makes you cringe.
Baumbach: I guess I'm interested in people who are very sophisticated in intellectual ways, while being completely off the mark in emotional ones, with these huge blind spots in terms of their own behavior.
iW: Do viewers take sides? I know, I sided with Bernard.
Baumbach: That's interesting, because I get both. Some people say, oh the mother was so much more sympathetic than the father. When I was trying to get the film made, people felt like, oh Bernard needs to have some sort of revelation at the end. There has to be redemption, where is that? He can't be so uncompromising. My feeling is, there's just no place for redemption in this film.
iW: Even in indiewood they talk like that?
Baumbach: Even in indiewood. They want Bernard to pet the cat, to show that he's okay, he loves animals, at least.
iW: Of course there's a difference between honesty and the literally real – but the film feels pretty naked. Did you ever feel embarrassed by what you were revealing?
Baumbach: The really naked stuff I've dealt with in my own life, my own therapy and relationships. For me it just feels like a film I'm really proud of.
iW: Was your first feature, "Kicking and Screaming," as autobiographical?
Baumbach: I never did what the kids in the movie do -- hang around Vassar [Baumbach's alma mater] after graduation. But the more distance I get from that movie, the more autobiographical it feels to me. Because I've always had trouble with change and transition and moving from a comfortable place to an unknown place. And the movie is really about that fear. I think all my movies are about transitions to some degree.
iW: How did you coax that marvellous performance from Jeff Daniels as the fallen patriarch? You've said you actually felt psychological transference with his character.
Baumbach: I'd have that transference with him when we were standing around on the set, and I'd feel this kind of nervous laugh come out of me. When I actually would direct him, I would cut through it. Jeff and I had difficult moments, though. At first he was doing an imitation of what he thought I wanted. He was trying to please me, but I could tell he wasn't comfortable – it felt a little pushed or acted. We broke for a weekend, and when we came back, Jeff said, I've been doing an imitation of what you wanted, I need to bring more of myself to this. It was a thrilling moment for me to witness an actor find a character so thoroughly. After that, he was so uncompromising, he never gave a shit about how he came off. He just wanted to be true to the guy. As a fan of Jeff's -- and Laura [Linney] -- I felt privileged to be around those actors.
iW: How did you get him to show such pain in his eyes?
Baumbach: It's that mystery as an actor. Jeff's associated with affable characters, but he has a gravity to him. And with that beard, you have a forest, and then you have these blue pools. No matter how he behaves, you want to help him a little. And that puts you in Walt's shoes. You feel like the kid who wants to help this person
iW: What's eating Bernard?
Baumbach: He's a prisoner of his own ideas of success and failure, using Norman Mailer as a pinnacle of what he could be, and watching peers go to greater success. In fact, he he's never able to acknowlege his real failings.
iW: I never "got" Joan.
Baumbach: Her side is more of a mystery. In a way, Walt is living out, as Bernard's kind of partner and accolyte, what Joan lived out in the marriage --
iW: And we see what a pain in the ass Bernard can be --
Baumbach: Well, yeah, so maybe you can understand where Joan is coming from, by seeing what Walt goes through.
iW: How do you make pain funny?
Baumbach: I thought I was writing a comedy the whole time. And then the movie turned out to be sadder than I'd thought. I never tried to balance comedy and pathos. It's just I find the same things funny and sad simultaneously.
iW: Did you intend to mock the characters' intellectual pretentiousness? You get a lot of laughs from those moments.
Baumbach: It's an interesting question. In the case of Walt, he doesn't know what he's talking about. But Bernard is so protecting himself from a fear of failure in his own career -- so he'll praise the less successful and popular writers and filmmakers to justify his own struggle. It's less making fun of how intellectuals talk, than showing how they hide their personal insecurity.
iW: Why did you shoot in Super 16 rather than digital video?
Baumbach: I wanted to give the film an authentic 1980's feel. I didn't want to use technology that didn't exist at the time. Super 16 also feels lived-in, instantly looks like an older film. I wanted to handhold the movie, but steadily, so you detect only a hint of movement. It added to the immediacy of the whole thing.
iW: Reading "The Squid and the Whale: The Shooting Script" [Newmarket Press], I was struck by how much you pruned the screenplay. What pushed you toward such a tight form?
Baumbach: It came a lot from cutting that tennis match at the beginning of the movie [when the family plays doubles.] I really wanted this to be an experience that people live through. Which is how people talk about action films. In some ways, maybe the cinematic equivalent of that would be not to give people moments of reflection. So that you're taken through each scene, and then you're right into another. A lot of scenes start on the dialogue, and the dialogue prelapses the next scene -- So you never have time. There's no sun rises over Brooklyn shot, no establishing shot. It's almost the way you think of "Road Warrior."
iW: You've said that with the film's end, you wanted to "take the breath right out of the audience."
Baumbach: Yes, I don't like when you necessarily know that this is the end of the movie. I like when a movie ends abruptly. You go through this, and some of the scenes are uncomfortable, and some are funny - and then suddenly it's over.

Meet Tim Harris, A Restaurant Owner With Down Syndrome
By Mack Rawden 3 years ago
When Tim Harris was fourteen years old, he told his parents he wanted to eventually own his own restaurant. At first, his mother and father were pretty concerned by the prospect because of his Down Syndrome, but the more their son grew and the more he showed responsibility, the more they thought the crazy scheme could eventually work.
Years later, Tim is now the owner of Tims Place, a restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and hugs. AOL was able to catch up with that proud owner recently, and you can take a look at the touching footage below
Sometimes all people need is an opportunity to prove how capable they can be. Tim wakes up every morning, he works hard and he gives everything he can to the restaurant and the customers. Thats all anyone can ask for, and in Tims case, its nice to know thats been enough. Hopefully, his restaurant will continue to flourish, and as his mother said, hopefully it will prove to others that those with Down Syndrome are capable of thriving in work environments with a little more pace.
Pop Blends sincerest congratulations go out to Tim. Heres to hoping he achives the rest of his dreams too.

-- Lake City, Fl. -- April 5, 2012 --
A Papa John's in Lake City Florida is reopening. It was set on fire by 2 Domino's employees in October of 2011.
Bryan Sullivan and Sean Davidson were arrested in October of 2011 and charged with arson. According to reports the two men said they were tired of seeing Papa John's trucks driving by their store and thought their business would increase if it were no longer open.
The men are currently awaiting trial.
The franchise was started by longtime Papa John's employees and friends Derrick Goodman, Paul Hakken, and Jacob Wilkes in August, 2011.
Jacob Wilkes described what he thinks the two men charged with arson did back in October of 2011. He said they broke a back window and "they were able to put a gas can in there and from what we know somebody was pouring it in there. And the fumes hit the pilot light on the water heater which created a pretty big explosion which blew this door and both front doors open."
They have spent the last 6 months rebuilding the store and have managed to keep their workers employed during the rebuilding efforts.
LAKE CITY, Fla. - Monday, April 2, 2012 - The Papa John's Pizza franchise that was burned to the ground last year by two employees of a rival Domino's franchise will reopen Thursday, April 5, 2012. The franchise, located in Lake City, Florida, had only been open eight weeks before it was destroyed in October, 2011.
In a true showing of community spirit, representatives from three major chains - Bank of America, Tire Kingdom, and Home Depot - offered extraordinary and unexpected support to help the three owners survive the disaster.
The franchise was started by longtime Papa John's employees and friends Derrick Goodman, Paul Hakken, and Jake Wilkes in August, 2011. According to police reports, the two suspects who were arrested said they were tired of seeing Papa John's trucks driving by their store and thought their business would increase if it were no longer open. Before the fire, the three entrepreneurs increased sales nearly 50 percent above the previous owner's revenues the year before - achieving the highest year increase among all Papa John's national franchises.
The three owners have spent the past five months rebuilding the store themselves from the ground up. The store is located at 2815 W. US Highway 90 in Lake City, Florida.
In another remarkable move, Goodman, Hakken and Wilkes have continued to pay their eight employees, two of whom are single mothers, by working as delivery drivers and performing remodeling work for other Papa John's franchises. Recently, the trio drove more than 30 hours to Arkansas to pick up new kitchen equipment which they installed themselves in their store at a savings of nearly $10,000.
"In spite of all the damage and the impact it's had on us and our business, we have been fortunate to have incredible support from friends, family and community, all of which has enabled us to rebuild our store brick by brick," said Jake Wilkes, co-owner of the Lake City Papa John's franchise. "We are grateful to continue to do what we love, run our business and serve great Papa John's pizza."
Firefighters from the Lake City Fire Department, whom Wilkes credits with saving the building, are expected to attend the ribbon cutting.

Thomas Karagiannis, Richard Mortier, and Antony I. T. Rowstron
August 2008
Enterprise network architecture and management have followed the Internet's design principles despite different requirements and characteristics: enterprise hosts are administered by a single authority, which intrinsically assigns different values to traffic from different business applications. We advocate a new approach where hosts are no longer relegated to the network's periphery, but actively participate in network-related decisions. To enable host participation, network information, such as dynamic network topology and per-link characteristics and costs, is exposed to the hosts, and network administrators specify conditions on the propagated network information that trigger actions to be performed while a condition holds. The combination of a condition and its actions embodies the concept of the network exception handler, defined analogous to a program exception handler. Conceptually, network exception handlers execute on hosts with actions parameterized by network and host state. Network exception handlers allow hosts to participate in network management, traffic engineering and other operational decisions by explicitly controlling host traffic under predefined conditions. This flexibility improves overall performance by allowing efficient use of network resources. We outline several sample network exception handlers, present an architecture to support them, and evaluate them using data collected from our own enterprise network.
