FAQs: Questions our Applicants Sometimes Ask
Ok, wait. So is it the Institute of Living or is it Hartford Hospital? What do I list in the Match?
We are officially listed as Hartford Hospital in the Match. We know, it's a little confusing at first, but it's really both. The Institute of Living (IOL) was a stand-alone psychiatric hospital (
one of the oldest in the country
) for a long, long time, and Hartford Hospital, which is literally across the street from the IOL campus, had its own psychiatry department. There was a loose affiliation, but they were basically separate. In the 1990's, the IOL became part of the Hartford Hospital system. Hartford Hospital, though it houses the psychiatric ED, CL and Palliative Care Services, and the HIV Community Ambulatory Clinic, no longer has separate psychiatric inpatient units nor psychiatric outpatient clinics – the IOL now serves as Hartford Hospital's Department of Psychiatry and provides the myriad services listed on the
IOL website
You're not an academic medical center, are you?
While we are not a medical school academic medical center, as a division of Hartford Hospital we are an integral part of an institution which is very much an academic medical center. Hartford Hospital is the major teaching hospital for most of the UConn residency programs and, in addition, sponsors several residency programs directly - our psychiatry residencies among them. Hartford Hospital has a large research enterprise and within Hartford Hospital the Department of Psychiatry holds the largest portfolio of federally funded grants - predominantly in the neurosciences. Our institution works closely with both UConn and Yale in many domains including collaborative research projects and education. We are a training site for the UConn medical students and UConn and Yale faculty are involved in our resident education. IOL teaching faculty holds UConn faculty appointments and teach at the medical school while faculty from the Olin Neuroscience Research Center generally holds Yale appointments. In sum, we are a psychiatric facility that is a division of a top-notch tertiary care teaching hospital (with a Level I trauma center, numerous training programs and a growing research enterprise) with close affiliations to two top tier medical schools.
You're residency program looks like it's sort of newer?
Again, yes and no. While the current incarnation of our program is relatively new (2003), the IOL has a long and rich history of training psychiatrists and housed one of the first residency programs in psychiatry in the US established in the 1940's.
How many months of medicine, and what is it like?
You spend 6 months total of first year on psychiatry, 2 months on neurology, and 4 months on either medicine or a combination of pediatrics and medicine. The neurology months are one month as part of the inpatient consult team and one month on the inpatient neurology team, so you see a fair variety of neurologic illness. If you are in an adult-treating sort, you'll spend 3 months on general inpatient medicine where you will cover regular floor patients and some step-down (less acute than ICU, more than general floor) patients on a team with a second or third year resident. Sometimes you also get a co-intern on your team. Census maximums are reasonable on inpatient medicine and you never cover the ICU's. The final month is spent doing outpatient medicine clinics; mornings are in a general primary care clinic and afternoons are at a variety of specialty clinics. If you do spend time on pediatrics instead, you spend two months on general inpatient medicine and two months on pediatrics.
Learn more about the rotation schedule
What are your other rotations?
In the first year, there are the 6 months on medicine/peds/neurology, 3 months of general inpatient psychiatry, 2 months of biopsychosocial psychiatry (where you have a limited patient census and focus on formulation), and one month of addiction psychiatry. Second year is 2 months each of geriatrics, consult/liaison, child/adolescent, psychotic disorders (inpatient), and more advanced inpatient psychiatry. One month is spent in the psychiatric emergency department and one is spent on a teaching rotation. During second year, residents also start work with long term dynamic psychotherapy outpatients. The third year is entirely outpatient and community psychiatry, with the residents each with their own office, housed together on a floor with an attending available; residents provide medication management and a variety of psychotherapies such as CBT, Brief Psychodynamic, supportive, family/couples, group, and continuing with their long term dynamic patients. One afternoon a week is spent seeing patients at Hartford Hospital as an embedded psychiatrist within the HIV clinic and residents also take on therapy of a patient with chronic mental illness who lives on the Institute grounds. Fourth year, for those not pursing child/adolescent, has a few requirements including maintaining some outpatients, but is largely elective blocks. Experience conducting ECT is provided during the geriatric rotation in second year and in the fourth year one can opt to do two full month of ECT that allows qualification to become certified to provide ECT (in addition to this clinical experience one must take approved day+ set of external seminar classes in order to get official certification. Just the PG2 year is not enough but neither is the PG2 +4 elective. Don't know how you want to convey this or whether to bother) There is an advanced training elective in the PG4 year. Forensic experience is provided across the 4 years in a variety of settings and for those committed to a career in forensic psychiatry we arrange an elective within driving distance.
Learn more about the rotation schedule
Vacation/conference time? Limitations on when?
We get 4 weeks (20 days) off per year, one of which is technically designated as "conference time." This is the time one would use for vacation and conferences. The limitations vary by year, but basically you can take no more than one week per rotation (for rotations 2 or more months long). We all are highly encouraged to take all of our vacation time every year. Vacation/conference time cannot be held over until the next year. If not used, it is lost time. For those whose academic work is accepted for presentation at a national meeting, the department will support travel/lodging/meal expenses for that portion of the meeting the resident is presenting.
What if there is a day I really don't feel well, get the flu, etc.?
Then you notify the proper people and you stay home to get better. We have sick days and are allowed to use them if we are actually sick without pressures from the program or other residents to come in anyway.
What are your didactics like?
are one of the many bright shining points in our time here. We receive excellent, comprehensive, varied didactics without redundancy and which challenge us regularly taught by an interested, curious, excited and engaging faculty. Didactics vary by year except for Grand Rounds on Thursdays which is attended by all classes. In addition, residents have an individual supervisor every year with whom they meet weekly. During first year, you have a Tuesday afternoon block of didactics from noon until 4:15pm and a Friday conference from noon-1:30pm, both of which are protected time on any rotation. These blocks cover your basic first-year review of psychiatric fundamentals (Tuesdays), contain an ER/CL conference time (Fridays) and also include your first year process group (two Tuesdays a month). While on psychiatry rotations, you also have a group for processing patient interactions called "Reactions to Patients," a case conference and a diagnostic/psychopharmacology seminar weekly. On the BPS rotation, you, in addition, have a meeting once a week for formulation. Second year, as all rotations are within the psychiatry program, have a didactic of some sort most days of the week. Mondays there is a noon conference for PGY2 and PGY3 residents on a rotating set of topics including neurophysiology, neuroimaging, geriatrics, addictions, forensics, and other topics. On Tuesdays, twice a month there is process group, and every week there is a psychopharmacology course and a course on patient interview techniques. On Wednesdays PGY2's attend the same case conference as the PGY1's. Thursdays hold a course on long term psychodynamic psychotherapy for the entire year and for a few months also a child and adolescent psychiatry series. On Fridays, PGY2's attend the ER/CL conference with the PGY1's. PGY3 year is chock full of didactics including full-year courses in CBT, brief psychodynamic therapy, group therapy, marriage and family therapy, advanced psychopharmacology, as well as a weekly case conference, bi-monthly community psychiatry group supervision, and a variety of other educational meetings and supervisions.
Learn more about our didactic curriculum
Is the time for didactics really protected? How does it work when I'm an intern and on medicine?
Your didactic time is protected. Period. On psychiatry, on medicine, on pediatrics, on neurology…no if's and's or but's. Our attendings take our didactic time seriously, as well. You continue to attend the bulk of your psychiatry didactics and your first year group even while on medicine or neurology.
Where are your rotations? How much traveling do you have to do for rotations?
Almost no traveling required. Other than our addiction psychiatry rotation and any off-campus electives you choose fourth year, everything is at the Institute of Living/Hartford Hospital campus where everything is no more than a 5-10 minute walk away, for the remainder of the residency with some occasional exceptions. All of medicine, neurology, emergency psychiatry, and consult- liaison psychiatry are at Hartford Hospital. Any pediatrics you do and part of the child and adolescent rotation are at
Connecticut Children's Medical Center
, which is on the same shared campus. All other rotations during first and second year are at the IOL. Your third year office is in the outpatient clinic at the IOL. You go off site to
, which is about 30-40 min away in Middletown, for addictions. Fourth year you may spend part time as a psychiatrist at a local community mental health agency, college, or other site. Sometimes you might have supervision with a psychiatrist in the community who is not on-site, but this will rarely take you more than 20 minutes away from campus.
Learn more about the rotation schedule
Do you get to teach medical students?
Yes. We are a major teaching site for psychiatry for the
UConn School of Medicine
. You will also interact and help teach UConn med students as well as PA students from local colleges while on medicine and consult-liaison.
How much is the salary?
More than fair!
Learn more about the salaries and benefits available to participants of the Graduate Medical Education Programs sponsored by Hartford Hospital
Other compensation?
To put a finer point on some our particular compensation as psychiatry residents within the system, our health insurance, dental, vision, and disability insurances are mostly paid for and we elect plans to suit our needs for which we pay a small amount each month. You can have dependents on your plans. Insurance coverage begins on July 1. Our malpractice for our work at all clinical sites is 100% covered with a tail. The program supplies us with many books each year, and we also receive reimbursement for some book purchases every year in addition. We receive a yearly stipend for on-call meal expenses. The program also will cover APA dues and the cost of your medical license and renewals.
Learn more about the salaries and benefits available to participants of the Graduate Medical Education Programs sponsored by Hartford Hospital
Can you moonlight?
Yes. Once you get your own license during your third year (Connecticut requires two years of residency for a license), you may moonlight as long as you are in good academic standing, adhere to duty hour regulations, keep the program informed as to where/when you are moonlighting, and it does not interfere with your residency performance. If you moonlight either at the psychiatric ED at Hartford Hospital or as the inpatient in-house psychiatrist at the Institute, your malpractice is covered with tail. If you choose to seek external moonlighting, your coverage from the program/hospital does not follow you.
Do people actually moonlight? Is there really time?
Yes. In fact, most people moonlight relatively regularly during third and fourth year. It's an excellent learning experience and encouraged by the program.
What do you do about parking?
We have free
on campus all the time, no restriction, as well as free parking at
, the site for the addictions month.
Do you have to have a car?
While there are buses in and around Hartford, all residents tend to have cars. Those that start without one, or with a need to learn how to drive, manage to do so within the first year.
What is there to do in Hartford area?
Most everything there is to do anywhere else. We have the oldest art museum in the country, excellent theater options, a symphony, movie theaters (even art-house ones), bowling alleys, golf courses, bookstores, karaoke nights, nightclubs, dancing, a wide selection of restaurants, pubs, etc. Being a smaller city, there are admittedly fewer of each option, but most options available in a larger city are available here. We are also close enough to both Boston and New York for day and weekend trips if you need a little more excitement. We also have good camping, hiking, and the beach near enough for an unplanned trip.

Where do people live? Can people manage to buy houses in the area while in residency?
People live in many different places and settings, depending on their preferences. Many choose to rent, but some people do buy homes or condos. Some people live in Hartford downtown, many live in nearby West Hartford, some live in other towns such as Windsor, Newington, Wethersfield, Rocky Hill, Manchester or Glastonbury. It is easy to find any of a variety of settings, from large modern apartment buildings downtown, to duplexes/triplexes in surrounding towns, to renting or buying a home with land in either a suburban or a relatively rural area and still be able to get to work easily in under 20-30 minutes.
Learn more about living in the greater Hartford area
What is cost of living like?
Honestly, middling compared to national standards but much more affordable than you'd be used to if you're coming from a large city like New York, Boston, D.C., etc. We are compensated more than adequately to live comfortably relative to the cost of living to the area.
For people with children: how are schools?
Connecticut has some of the best public school systems in the country, and there are also multiple options for private education as well, including some of the oldest and most prestigious private schools.

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this offering and the
investment by Jaguarundi in our Class B ordinary shares of approximately
US$154.9 million if the over-allotment option is not exercised, and US$175.8
million if the over-allotment option is exercised, after deducting underwriting
discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by us.
We anticipate using the net proceeds of this offering for the following
. approximately 30%, or US$46.5 million to invest in technology, infrastructure
and product development efforts;
. approximately 20%, or US$31.0 million to expand our sales and marketing
efforts; and
. the remaining amount to general corporate purposes, including working capital
needs and potential acquisitions (although we are not currently negotiating
any such acquisitions).
We do not currently have any agreements or understandings to make any material
acquisitions of, or investments in, other businesses.
In utilizing the proceeds we expect to receive from this offering, we, as an
offshore holding company, are permitted under PRC laws and regulations to
provide funding to our WFOE through capital contributions or loans, subject to
approvals from or registrations with relevant PRC government authorities. If we
were to increase the registered capital of our WFOE , we need to receive
approval from MOFCOM or its local counterparts, which will decide whether or
not to grant such approval within 90 days after receiving the application
documents. If we were to provide funding to our WFOE through loans, the total
amount of such loans may not exceed the difference between the WFOE's total
investment amount as approved by the foreign investment authorities and the
WFOE's registered capital. Such loans must also be registered with the SAFE,
which registration usually takes no more than 20 working days to complete. The
cost for obtaining such approvals and completing such registration is minimal.
We currently expect that a substantial portion of the proceeds of this offering
will be used by our WFOE in connection with its business expansion, such as
data acquisition costs, bandwidth and server hosting costs, product development
expenses, sales and marketing expenses, and other general and administrative
expenses. We cannot assure you that we will be able to complete these government
registrations or obtain the relevant approvals on a timely basis, if at all.
The foregoing represents our current intentions with respect of the use and
allocation of the net proceeds of this offering based upon our present plans
and business conditions, but our management will have significant flexibility
and discretion in applying the net proceeds of this offering. The occurrence of
unforeseen events or changed business conditions may result in application of
the proceeds of this offering in a manner other than as described in this
The online travel industry in China is new, rapidly evolving and highly
competitive. We compete to attract users to our websites and mobile applications
and to attract TSPs to participate in our P4P services and enter into other
online marketing agreements with us. Due to our unique business model as a
search-based commerce platform, we maintain a cooperative-competitive
relationship with some of our competitors as they are also our TSPs or even
Competition for Users
We compete for user traffic with hotels, airlines, OTAs, general search engines
and other travel information websites. Our major competitors include major
travel OTAs in China such as Ctrip and e-commerce websites such as the travel
channel of Taobao. In addition, we also compete for user traffic with airlines,
hotels, OTAs and other TSPs as they are increasingly focusing on attracting
users directly to their own websites.
Competition for Online Marketing Customers
While OTAs form a significant portion of our P4P customers, we directly compete
with them for online advertising customers who target travelers in China. We
also compete with online advertising service providers, such as general search
engines, portal websites and traditional offline advertising sources such as TV
and print media for online marketing customers, and with search engines and
offline media sources for advertising from OTAs. We believe that we have a
competitive advantage for online marketing customers due to the high
effectiveness of our services resulting from the unique features of our search
results and our technology-enabled accurate deployment of advertisement.
We are the leading search-based commerce platform for the travel industry in
China. We enable people to find best-value deals by aggregating and processing
highly fragmented travel product information from tens of thousands of travel
service providers, or TSPs, into an organized and
user-friendly display through
our proprietary technology. According to iResearch, we ranked No. 1 among all
non-state-owned online travel companies in China in terms of monthly unique
visitors since November 2010. We were the most visited travel website in China
among online travel users, according to a report released by Nielsen in June
We optimize users' travel experience by enabling them to easily identify and
compare their desired travel products anytime and anywhere through our website
and mobile applications. We retrieve and display real-time information about
air tickets, hotels, vacation packages and other travel products based on user
search queries. Our comprehensive and accurate search results are sourced from
third-party travel websites as well as our proprietary software-as-a-service,
or SaaS, system, on which we host the web outlets for a large and growing number
of TSPs. Our platform is designed to facilitate and enhance convenience, data
accuracy, and transaction security for our users. As a result of our focus on
user experience, we have attracted a large and rapidly expanding user base. The
number of our web users grew from 71.7 million in 2010 to 187.3 million in 2012.
The number of our web users was 203.2 million in the 12-month period ended June
30, 2013. In addition, the number of our mobile users grew from 0.2 million in
2010 to 21.9 million in 2012. The number of our mobile users was 39.6 million
in the 12-month period ended June 30, 2013.
Our customers include TSPs and display advertisers. Leveraging our large user
base and our advanced technologies, we provide an attractive value proposition
to our customers.
. Our SaaS system enables TSPs with limited or no online presence, usually
independent hotels and TSPs who have traditionally conducted business offline,
to have advanced online outlets to sell products and services via the
Internet. We provide our SaaS system free of charge to TSPs who use our pay-
for-performance, or P4P, services.
. Our P4P services provide an efficient channel for TSPs to reach a large and
fast-growing number of travelers through qualified clicks, for which we
charge on a cost-per-click, or CPC, or cost-per-sale, or CPS, basis.
. Additionally, our display advertising service provides targeted advertising
solutions based on the demographics, search parameters and transaction
history of our large user base, and our promotional programs expose TSPs to
new online marketing methods while providing them with additional channels to
distribute travel products to our users.
We are a technology-driven company. Our industry experts, product managers and
software engineers collaborate closely to drive our product development efforts
to better serve our users. Our superior search capabilities are at the core of
our technological competence. We processed approximately 1.8 billion web and
mobile search queries in 2012 and approximately 1.4 billion web and mobile
search queries in the first six months in 2013 for air tickets and hotels. We
are able to instantly extract targeted data from a massive number of online
sources with different formats. Unlike general search engines, our search
results must be current and accurate for users to proceed with their
transactions. We maintain a dynamic data cache which is constantly verified and
refreshed to ensure up-to-date, accurate and fast search results. Our platform
also powers natural language fuzzy search, which significantly broadens
permissible search parameters and optimizes search results by analyzing and
organizing unstructured information from the Internet. The key word database
for our search service utilizes an intelligent "machine learning" technology,
allowing it to automatically improve itself with the injection of new data. As
a result, our search results become more relevant and accurate over time.
We have achieved substantial growth since the commencement of our operations in
2005. Our revenues increased from RMB123.9 million in 2010 to RMB262.4 million
in 2011 and to RMB501.7 million (US$81.7 million) in 2012, and from RMB204.6
million in the six months ended June 30, 2012 to RMB358.8 million (US$58.5
million) in the six months ended June 30, 2013. We recorded net losses of
RMB4.4 million, RMB46.0 million, RMB91.1 million (US$14.8 million), RMB64.1
million and RMB16.9 million (US$2.8 million) in 2010, 2011, 2012 and the six
months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Our adjusted EBITDA was
RMB4.0 million and RMB2.8 million in 2010 and 2011, respectively, and we
recorded negative adjusted EBITDA of RMB24.0 million (US$3.9 million) in 2012.
Our adjusted EBITDA was RMB13.7 million (US$2.2 million) in the six months
ended June 30, 2013, compared to negative adjusted EBITDA of RMB27.2 million in
the six months ended June 30, 2012.
The PRC government extensively regulates, through licensing and permit
requirements, foreign ownership of companies that provide Internet-based
services. We derive most of our revenues from Beijing Qunar Software Technology
Company Limited, a wholly foreign owned enterprise, or WFOE, and its
subsidiaries in the PRC. To comply with certain licensing and permit
requirements imposed by applicable PRC laws and regulations, we also conduct
part of our business through Qunar.com Beijing Information Technology Company
Limited, a variable interest entity, or VIE. We face risks and uncertainties
associated with our corporate structure, as our control over our VIE and its
subsidiaries is based on contractual arrangements rather than equity ownership.

I am a software engineer, and unfortunately people know it. So I get those inevitable computer questions. This time it is a relatively simple one I think, but one for which I have no experience.
How can I create and publish podcasts?
Any solution should be first and foremost easy for a novice computer user to go from start to finish without additional help. If software is required, it should be reasonably priced or free.
Edit: The user has access to both Windows and OSX.

Pull big moves and throw down demonic speeds with the Roxy Women's Dynamite Pant. This waterproof, insulated snow pant keeps your lower half dry and warm so you can focus on the fun stuff. The pant's 60g 3M Thinsulate insulation offers low-bulk, durable, dependable warmth that continues working even in damp or wet weather.

When you're out in deep powder, boot gaiters ensure snow stays out at the cuffs, and you can adjust the waist for a secure fit. If you have a compatible Roxy jacket, you can hook it to a loop on the pants to create a complete seal against snow. On warmer days when you work up excess heat, you can open up the zippered inner thigh vents for some relief.

Asian Blepharoplasty (Double Eyelid Surgery)
Although about half of the Asian population does have a fold in the area above the eyelashes, the other 50% of the population does not. For those without a fold, a blepharoplasty procedure can create a natural-looking crease. Known as "Asian double eyelid surgery," this procedure aims to surgically create creases in the eyelids of Asian patients. Generally, the lid starts at the crease very close to the eyelashes. As the crease becomes further away from the nose, it gets larger until it reaches the midpoint of the pupil. In effect, the fold runs parallel to the eyelash origin.
See additional eyelid photos
At his practice, Dr. Lee offers the DST Double sutures and twisting method (DST) technique, which is a sophisticated version of the traditional suture (non-incision) methods of double eyelid surgery. Contrary to the relatively high breakage rate and indistinct folds associated with the traditional method among Asian patients, this innovative technique not only addresses these disadvantages, but also maintains the benefits of the traditional method, including:
- Virtually scarless folds
- Naturalness to the creases
- Fast recovery
Asian vs. Caucasian Eyelids
A Caucasian lid crease is slightly different in both shape and size. It typically tapers closer to the eyelashes as the fold goes out laterally so that it is more of an upside-down "U" shape, rather than a parallel shape to the eyelash lid. The Caucasian lid crease is also about 20% larger than an Asian eyelid crease. When considering the blepharoplasty techniques that will be used to place a crease, it is important for both the patient and the surgeon to understand that the goal of double eyelid surgery is not to westernize an Asian face, but to create a crease that looks natural.
Asian Double Eyelid Surgery Methods
An analysis of fold failure in such cases reveals that sutures do not usually break, but rather the sutures cheesewire through the soft tissue of the upper eyelid. The DST technique rectifies this problem by securing the sutures to firmer structures less likely to allow the sutures to tear through. This is accomplished by first securing one end of the sutures to the firmest structure of the upper lid, the tarsal plate, which is made of strong cartilage.
The other end of the suture is interlinked to an adjacent suture, much like two links on a chain. A bit of the underbelly of the eyelid skin is pinched into the suture before tying the knot. This results in a firm interlocked fold which is tremendously resistant to tearing through or breaking.
The published report for breakage or loss of fold is approximately one percent per year (ten year follow up). This statement is remarkable for two reasons. One is that a claim of superior results has been supported by scientific data, a rare accomplishment in and of itself in aesthetic surgery. Secondly, an extraordinarily low failure rate has been established, comparable to an incision method. We hope to dispel some common misconceptions. First and foremost is the notion that the DST technique frequently fails or disappears over time. This has been repudiated by published study, our extensive personal experience with hundreds if not thousands of cases, and a reasoned explanation of why this procedure works. In anecdotal comments we have received, the most common source of misinformation has been in confusing the DST technique with traditional suture techniques that are unreliable.
Another misconception is that the DST technique results in more scarring than an open procedure. Because no significant incisions are made, there is virtually no scarring. This lack of scarring allows the procedure to be reversed by simple removal the sutures. In addition, we have confirmed during the occasional re-surgery that DST patients have much less scarring than those that have had prior incisional surgery. The ease with which re-surgery can be performed is reflected by the fact that we have always been able to revise DST procedures without difficulty.
Fold failure after prior incisional surgery elsewhere (left) corrected with DST suture technique (right)
As a practical matter the DST procedure continues to have tremendous appeal and secure reputation in the Beverly Hills and other Southern Californian communities. The majority of patients have referred themselves to our office after their friends have had the procedure done and have witnessed.
We consider the DST technique the procedure of choice for the ideal candidate, as described below. The best candidates for the DST technique have: A) thin skin that is not excessive and do not have a lot of upper lid fat, have not had prior eyelid surgery; B) whose brows are not low or heavy; C) who do not have complex eyelid problems such as ptosis ("sleepy eye") or retraction (overly pulled upper lid). Other candidates for the procedure include A) men, who generally cannot conceal the incisions with makeup, B) smokers (more than ten cigarettes per day), who are at higher risk of prominent scar. C) Patients with a fear of incisional surgery. D) Those in need of quick recovery period, who have a few days, not weeks.
Risks of surgery Debate continues regarding the preference of incisional vs. suture method crease formation. Although suture techniques are sometimes disparaged as inferior surgery, patients resistant to the incision technique know something on an instinctive level – that the risks of an incisional surgery are more significant. The main risk of suture technique is fold failure. This is an annoying, embarrassing, but ultimately a readily correctable problem. The significant major risk of incisional surgery, on the other hand, is damage to the levator mechanism, which can result in ptosis (sleepy eye) or retraction (lid stare). Inexperienced surgeons can also create havoc by over removing fat and/or skin, resulting in an uncorrectable, permanent deformity. Finally there is on occasion the poor scarring and permanent puffiness of the upper lid, overwhelmingly which occur in smokers, cigarettes or otherwise.
Incisional technique The ideal candidate for Incisional technique include patients who are A) older than the latter 20's, B) have excess skin or fat, C) desire a larger, dramatic fold who have a preference for an Incisional technique. Some of the less ideal candidates for this technique include: A) Smokers (more than ten cigarettes daily), B) who will scar more prominently C) Excessively saggy brows or deep forehead wrinkles, whose correction would lead to too much removal of upper lid skin. D) Multiple prior upper lid surgeries, whose scarring results in limited eyelid function, and who probably should limit themselves to correcting eye problems related to function, not appearance enhancement.
Surgeons differ in two major areas: the crease markings which will determine the shape and size of the fold, and technique of surgery, namely which deep eyelid structure will the skin be secured to. Although many types of folds have been described, the most natural (hence, ideal) shape of the fold is a tapered fold and the parallel fold, referring to the shape in relation to the margin of the inner half of the eyelid. The ideal size of the fold allows 2 – 3mm of skin above the eyelashes to show on direct frontal view with the eyes open. This also usually corresponds to a crease set at 10mm from the lash line when the eyes are closed (with the skin on light tension). This height is modified based on whether the eyeball is slightly deep set (larger crease) or overly shallow (smaller crease). This height also corresponds to the size of the tarsal plate, the cartilaginous skeleton of the eyelid. Skin excision is usually needed, determined by the sagginess of the brow – more skin removal being required for saggier brows. Skin excision is limited to 3 or 4mm in order to maintain the naturalness of the eye area and prevent risk of dry eyes. Patients over age 40 and those who require more correction than this are strongly encouraged to consider a brow lift. An advantage of undergoing an evaluation from a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery is that such surgeons are trained to evaluate and treat not only your eyelids but your face in its entirety, whether it is the eyebrows or the midface.
Prior incisional surgery with skin fixation to levator aponeurosis performed elsewhere resulting in multiple creases, indistinct fold, and left eyelid ptosis (droopage) (left photo).
The most precise, permanent folds result from securing the skin-muscle to the tarsal plate, lying beneath the levator aponeurosis. Fat and other slippery soft tissues are removed to allow the muscle and skin to attach to the rough raw surface of the tarsus. The result is a secure permanent crease. This technique is known as an "anchor blepharoplasty". One drawback of this technique is the complexity of the operation which has limited the number of surgeons who feel comfortable with this technique. Performed properly, however, the procedure results in a highly stylized precise, permanent crease.
S = Skin
F = Fat
LA = Levator aponeurosis
TP = Tarsal Plate
In the "anchor" technique, the crease is secured to the Tarsal Plate rather than the Levator Aponeurosis resulting in a more secure fold. The levator aponeurosis has a slippery, shiny surface which is a less secure structure than the tarsal plate for suturing.
Medial epicanthoplasty The medial epicanthus (ME), or Mongolian fold, covers the inner corner of the eyelid. The degree of severity can be categorized as non existent or mild, moderate and severe, depending on how much of the caruncle (the pink "bump" inside the eye corner) is exposed. The severe cases should be corrected; for moderate folds, correction is optional. One popular technique for correction is to remove a crescent of skin along the ME. The location of the incision is parallel to the edge of the fold, in an attempt to hide it. Our observation is that this frequently leads to a widening of the scars due to the stretching forces resisting against the incision. In addition. the crescent removals are frequently performed as one long incision connected to the double-eyelid incision. We find that the continuous incision contributes to an undesirable appearance of the scar. Instead, our preference is what is called a "v-w plasty" in which incisions are placed not parallel but perpendicular to the edge of the ME. 7 sutures carefully placed with the aid of magnifying loupes usually results in barely detectable scars. However, we limit this procedure to non smokers.

To the Editor:
—The coroner of Macon County reports four deaths of children in the last four years from eating laxative tablets containing strychnin; in addition to this I have knowledge of several other near deaths from the same cause.

B." and the "Hinkle" tablet, each containing 1/60 grain of strychnin, is so common?The red color of the Hinkle tablet is especially attractive to children, and in one of the fatal cases reported, the victim had eaten fifteen of these tablets; the poison or caution label on the box had no deterrent effect on either the child or the careless mother. The thought occurred to me, Why put strychnin in laxative tablets, and of what value is strychnin in these combinations? Admitting

Today I was sitting outside of Safeway smoking a cigarette while a kid about my age was unlocking his bike. I complemented how rad his bike was and he told me an awesome story.
It had been stolen about 10 days ago. He found his bike on Craigslist and called the cops. The cops followed him to the house where the transaction was to take place. The kid got his bike back, the dude got arrested and 14 other stolen bikes were retrieved and returned to their owners. ****ing badass.

Okay so this doesn't sound that bad, but consider this (there's a lot of what if threads floating around, but nothing like this!) The two legendaries would need to be crammed into one storyline, and you'd thus get a choice of them, the games likely wouldn't be based on DNA because there's no opposites in names going on and with it only being one game, it'd indicate that a pattern is changing, and that it might be the only game of the region. As well as this... you couldn't get an extra/other copy to store stuff on because it'd be basically the same game, and you could only journey the region once. On the plus side, you'd have to pay less for it because you're not buying both, you'll also not get version differences, you'll likely get a more-enhanced game as they're only concentrating on one and generally you'd have a real pattern breaker that could have potential for a really interesting storyline, if it was the sole starting game of the generation.
So, with this in mind, would've you preferred they announced just one game, rather than the two? Do you think the DNA/other suspected themes would still work as well without having the two games to fall upon? If so, expand on how this'd have worked out. If not, why are you glad it turned out the way it did - and what could they potentially ruin if they DID do this?

They were supposed to be two of France's best bets for a homegrown French Open champion but they had other plans. And both were spotted today getting in practice for their native Grand Slam next week.
Amelie Mauresmo, who hasn't played a match since losing in the quarterfinals of Amelia Island to finalist Dominika Cibulkova citing a rib injury, will make an attempt at the draw if her fragile body holds up:
I'm in Paris already, I cannot wait to be able to play at a full flow and be free of this sly and persistent pain. I'll go for a hit on Court Central if weather permits,the rest of the schedule is training and care.
Richard Gasquet, who seems to be ignoring my recommended mental sabbatical, practiced with new coach Guillaume Peyre on Court Central and looks to still be having fits and punishing his racquet for it (though he may want to try actually hitting a ball with the thing.)
Let's be honest - what are their chances for making any impact at the tourney? I'm thinking Jo-Wilfried Tsonga with his bum knee and Alize Cornet's inexperience are the better bets right now. I'd even put down Fabrice "the Magician" Santoro with one wand tied behind his Lacoste-wearing back over either of them.

The UCLA Institute of Transportation Studies (ITS) is one of the leading transportation policy research centers in the U.S. The ITS works closely with and is generously funded by two organizations-the UCLA Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies and the University of California Transportation Center (UCTC). Each year dozens of ITS faculty, students, and research staff collaborate on a wide array of transportation policy and planning studies, ranging from an analysis of the travel trends and transportation needs of immigrants and low-income workers, to the testing and evaluation of innovative fare programs to increase public transit use.
Transportation research at UCLA has made a difference. ITS-affiliated research has been cited by President Clinton in announcing changes to federal welfare policy, has lead changes in the federal Internal Revenue Code to encourage commuting by alternative travel modes, and ITS research on measuring public transit costs recently won the top transportation policy research award from the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies of Science and Engineering. In 2003, "The Geography of Transit Crime: Documentation and Evaluation of Crime Incidence on and Around the Green Line Stations in Los Angeles" by Professors Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris and Robin Liggett, and PhD student Hiroyuki Iseki, won the annual Chester Rapkin Award for the best paper in the Journal of Planning Education and Research. In 2004, our students swept the CUTC (Council of University Transportation Centers) Transportation Awards. In the following years, students Paul Sorensen, Stephen Crosley, and Andrea Osgood have received Neville A. Parker Awards for their papers.
ITS students also make a difference. Graduates of the three ITS-affiliated degree programs in the Department of Policy Studies (Master of Public Policy) and Urban Planning (Master of Arts in Urban Planning, PhD in Urban Planning) are in leading positions in government, the private sector, and research. Since 1992 ITS has supported hundreds of these graduate transportation students with over $1,000,000 in Institute fellowships. In addition, ITS-affiliated research projects have trained and supported hundreds of graduate transportation students over the past decade.
ITS is also active in linking transportation research with policy and planning practice. Each fall since 1991, ITS researchers co-host (with the UCLA Extension Public Policy Program) the UCLA Lake Arrowhead Symposium on the Transportation – Land Use – Environment Connection. This invitation-only symposium brings leading transportation, land use, and environmental scholars together with top policy and planning practitioners from around the globe at a three day retreat in the San Bernardino Mountains. In 1995, 1999, 2003, and 2007, ITS-affiliated students hosted the system-wide University of California Transportation Research Conference. And, in addition, ITS has recently co-hosted three additional major conference and dozens of public lectures on a wide variety of topics, including Transportation and the Environment, and Transportation and Welfare Reform.

You can benefit in many ways when you hire the right Colorado financial advisor as they can assist you with your financial planning, budgeting, investment management, asset protection, and more. Even though many people think they are capable of taking care of their own investments, without the assistance of someone who knows all the ins and outs of the business you will be losing money and opportunities to grow your portfolio.
It is common for professionals in the field of finance and accounting to be experts in various subjects, including both traditional and alternative investments. The former include stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and annuities, all stuff you probably have heard off. Alternative investments, on the other hand, include real estate, foreclosures, land, deeds, gold, oil, and other natural resources. It is crucial to maintain a healthy and diverse portfolio that contains several of the opportunities listed above so you have both a high rate of return and security.
If you truly want to grow, protect, and insure your wealth, then maintaining a balanced portfolio is key, and the right financial planner can help you to achieve this. He or she can also go over your investments regularly to make sure there is nothing that is costing you money, and can spot the strong points and make them even stronger.
If you do not currently have a financial advisor in Colorado whom you trust to help you make important decisions with your money, be sure to have us at AdvisorWorld.com match you up with someone today. We do not charge anything for this service and because there is no obligation to purchase anything involved this offer is entirely risk free. If you are not happy with the individual we recommend to you, we will be more than happy to find you someone else.

At 5, STCC's Technology Park a 'bustling beehive'
The Republican (Springfield, Mass.)
Sunday, December 19, 2004
By Marcia Blomberg
Maryellen Rooney Moreau was working full-time when she decided to take the plunge in 1999 and devote all her time and energy to her six-year-old company.
She moved into the brand-new Enterprise Center in Springfield Technical Community College's Technology Park and her educational products company has taken off.
Mindwing Concepts Inc. is one of seven business tenants in the company incubator in what is now called the Andrew M. Scibelli Enterprise Center, and one of 18 companies that have been nurtured to success in the old brick building.
After five years in operation, the center that was born from the disaster of Digital Equipment Corp.'s 1993 decision to pack up and leave the city, abandoning 320 jobs, is now a national model.
In 1993, then-STCC President Andrew M. Scibelli "saw the need to create something that would create jobs," recalled Thomas A. Goodrow, STCC vice president for economic and business development.
Earlier this year, Springfield Technical Community College won a top award for innovation from the Community College Futures Assembly, a national think-tank of educators, for the Technology Park and Enterprise Center.
And the college has created the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship to help export its model, and its first two conferences have drawn more than 150 participants each.
The Enterprise Center is one piece in a bustling beehive of activity across Federal Street from Springfield Technical Community College.
Tenants in the STCC's Technology Park, on 15.3 acres that was once part of the historic Springfield Armory, employ about 850 people with a total payroll of about $22.4 million.
Inside the Technology Park's gates is the 37,000-square-foot Enterprise Center, built in 1892 and abandoned for 20 years before it was revived.
In 1998, $3.9 million in renovations was begun to convert the old factory building into a business incubator.
The facility has seven tenants (soon to be full, with eight) with combined revenues of $2.7 million in the first nine months of 2004 and wages paid to their 46 employees totaling $1.2 million in the first nine months.
Moreau, who had been a professor of speech and language pathology at American International College and directed the curriculum at the Curtis Blake Day School at AIC, invented an ingenious set of tools - one looks like a puppet - with icons on it to help children organize their thoughts and write or tell a story.
When she moved in five years ago, Moreau had a business plan and had patented her educational tool, "but I didn't have people with a lot of expertise helping me, and the Enterprise Center provided that."
"It provided a place to be in an atmosphere of commerce, where everybody thought in terms of sticking to your business plan, and how to market things," she added.
MindWing's educational products are now in 7,000 classrooms across the country, including in Springfield, San Diego and Hartford, and the company has grown from just one worker (Moreau) to two full-time employees and one part-timer.
The business tenants, who pay a little more than $9 a square foot, share amenities that include a receptionist, conference rooms, a computer lab for training, fax and printer, and access to the Deliso Teleconferencing Center at a fee.
Moreau said she's glad to have a receptionist to greet her clients, and she's held training sessions in the conference rooms.
Tenants are surrounded by expert advice in the form of SCORE, a corps of volunteers that counsel small businesses; the Western Massachusetts Enterprise Fund, which provides financing and technical assistance for small businesses; the Massachusetts Small Business Development Center Network, which provides technical assistance; and the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Deborah L. King, director of the Springfield Business Incubator, noted that of the 19 companies that are in or have graduated from the business incubator, only one has gone out of business, for a 94 percent success rate.
According to the SBA, only 40 percent of business startups are still in business after six years, so "it's clear that, with the support systems, they really do much better," King said.
She credited not just the facilities, but the 30-member advisory board made up of experienced business people. Each company in the incubator is assigned several advisory board members who meet at least quarterly to help out.
Networking in the building is "tremendous," King said.
"A lot of business owners start out in their homes and feel very isolated ... so being able to go down the hall and bounce an idea off somebody is invaluable."
The Enterprise Center - now named after Andrew M. Scibelli, the recently retired STCC president who had the vision and force of personality to get the technology park and enterprise center done - has grown from its original business incubation vision.
Business incubation "is still our primary focus: To create business to create wealth in the community," Goodrow said.
But the group of people running the Enterprise Center took their mission to heart, and took "some calculated risks with an entrepreneurial spirit," Goodrow said.
Now the Enterprise Center includes several other components: The Entrepreneurial Institute, the Center for Business and Technology, the Deliso Videoconferencing Center and the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship.
The Entrepreneurial Institute's mission is to teach kids and college-age students about entrepreneurship, with programs like "entrepreneur for a day" for students in kindergarten through sixth grade, and other programs for students in higher grades.
Teaching entrepreneurial concepts to kids from kindergarten through 12th grade "creates a pipeline of potential tenants for the business incubator," Goodrow said.
The Entrepreneurial Institute also oversees the Student Business Incubator, which is fully occupied with nine tenants paying $50 a month for small cubicles and access to phones and other office equipment.
The Center for Business and Technology is focused on helping to develop a work force with the skills and training needed by local industries.
It offers everything from non-credit classes in dance and woodworking to certification in all manner of information technology specialties.
Goodrow noted that while STCC has enrolled 6,000 students this year, the center for business and technology has 4,200 registrations.
Some of those courses are "just-in-time learning" classes set up for employers who need to get their workers up to speed with a particular skill.
"We do a huge service to the community, especially business and industry," he said, including preparing workers for certification tests.
The Center for Business and Technology also has a special high-stakes testing center where it administers certification exams for various entities, including Microsoft.
The Deliso Videoconferencing Center can be rented by area businesses, not just Enterprise Center tenants, needing to have a long-distance but face-to-face meeting or distance learning.
And STCC has taken its experience in fostering entrepreneurship to the next level by creating the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship.
Its most recent conference, in Kansas City, drew about 175 participants from 100 community colleges around the country who "wanted to see this type of model and bring it back to their campuses," Goodrow said, "to get involved in economic development."
The Scibelli Enterprise Center is run on grants and a little income. A little money - under $200,000 - is derived from rents from the tenants.
The state gives $535,000 a year to the STCC Assistance Corp. to run the entire Technology Park - covering things like electricity and maintenance - and that helps cover some of the Enterprise Center's costs.
And STCC provides in-kind contributions, including staffing.
The amount of rentable space isn't enough to support all the costs, Goodrow said, "but we knew that going in.
"We see this as part of our mission to support and educate the community through entrepreneurship education.
"It all comes down, after 5 years, to the vision of the STCC board of trustees and Andy Scibelli (former president), the STCC Assistance Corp. - these people saw the potential and airmed the rocket," Goodrow said. "So it's come a long way, it's really excellent times."

I don't ride to the Shaw Center across town very often, but every time I have, I've noticed how much public statuary there is on the way. So, Sunday was a mellow autumn day, I had plenty of time, and I took pics of a few. Quite a few for just 15 kilometers.
First is a whole field of them, right beside the bike path. I'm kind of partial to the "Day of the Triffids" looking one. (No, I'm not leaning my bike on it - just the pedal on the plinth.)
Then, down at the bottom of University Bridge, this aluminum tumbleweed
A little further on is this athletic bunch, called "Spirit of Youth"
And then a group called Musicians 99, I think.
Getting onto 20th street, there's the double ended muskox
Coming home again, there's Saint SomebodyOrOther outside the Orthodox church, I couldn't get close enough to read the plaque
Then, getting onto 19th street near the farmer's market, a big cat made from rebar.
There were about 4 others, but I couldn't find them on my camera chip, which suggests that it's time for a new chip.

select * from search.termextract where context="Italian sculptors and painters of the renaissance favored the Virgin Mary for inspiration" and query="madonna"
REST url tends to break with large text easily, if url goes even bigger than 1024 characters , it will be blocked client or server somewhere in the chain. For large URL you should use POST.
Currently when I use this API it gives me an undocumented block.
I am still unsure if this is somehow a bug with my script or if this is a desired thing from Yahoo.
After about 500 requests to the end point, regardless of IP it seems to block me by giving empty results no matter the content used.
Just for the fun of it, i put together some mock query which was run hundreds of times that I know returns results and somewhere between 400 and 500 it seems to stop returning results. It gives no failure, or no blocked notice.

When you get right down to it, Easter is about two things: eggs and candy. Which means when the Easter bunny brings you all of your favorite holiday confections this Sunday, he'll also bring you a few extra pounds–unless, that is, you know how much you'll need to exercise in order to work them off. Here's a handy list of the calorie counts lurking in your favorite Easter treats, along with a few suggestions for the type of activities you can do to burn them off. Note that the given number of calories burned are for a 135-pound woman, which means most of us will have to exercise longer.
- Cadbury Creme Egg, 150 calories: A 30-minute game of doubles tennis.
- Pack of five original Peeps, 140 calories: 20 minutes of moderate rowing.
- One milk chocolate-covered Peep, 110 calories: A brisk, 30-minute walk.
- A dozen Cadbury Mini-Eggs, 190 calories: A 30-minute cross-training session of running and walking.
- Seven Hershey's Milk Chocolate Eggs, 200 calories: A half-hour on the elliptical machine, set to moderate.
- Snickers Egg, 160 calories: Jumping rope at a moderate pace for 15 minutes.
- Reese's Peanut Butter Egg, 170 calories: Moderate aerobics for 35 minutes.

Two opposite high pressure ports- The arrangement of high and low pressure hoses is crucial to diving comfort. Two opposite high pressure ports allow for an individual positioning of the first stage (pointing up or down). This allows the diver to position the gauges either on the right or left side and increases the freedom of movement for head and neck.
Multiple low pressure ports. For ultimate freedom in the arrangement of low pressure hoses, the MK11 features four stationary low pressure ports, two of them HF. High flow ports deliver about 15% more air than conventional ports.
DIN/INT first stage configurations. To ensure worldwide compatibility, all SCUBAPRO regulator systems are available in a 200bar INT version as well as 300bar DIN versions. Externally adjustable intermediate pressure. Allows authorized SCUBAPRO service technicians to quickly fine tune or make adjustments after maintenance without the need to disassemble the first stage.

G250 Vintage
G250V has improved the breathing performance by 50%. Working inhalation & exhalation are easier and stress free. Comparing the G250HP which required 1,29 Joules/Ltr with the new G250V requiring 0,68 J/Ltr means you spend less energy to breathe the same volume of air.
·G250V is a full metal system- composed of a full metal inlet tube, metal orifice, metal knob plus a metal hose connector/heat exchanger. Serious construction for serious divers plus high cold-water resistance.
·New self contained cover concept- reminiscent of the classic G250, but much stronger for years of trouble-free diving. Also easily dismountable even underwater, thanks to the new no-locking pin system. Keeps you in control, no matter what type of diving you enjoy.
·New VIVA knob - for easy Venturi Adjustment, even with thick gloves.

Oklahoma City Barons: Barons blow three-goal lead, lose to Rockford
The Barons experienced firsthand why the Rockford IceHogs are the hottest team in the American Hockey League.
The night after Rockford scored with two seconds left to rally for a shootout win, the IceHogs scored six consecutive goals to rally for 7-4 American Hockey League victory Saturday night in front of 4,411 fans at the Cox Convention Center.
Winning eight of its last nine games, Rockford trailed 4-1 early in the second period but scored the final six goals. The IceHogs scored three goals in the second period and four in the third.
"Sometimes it comes down to playing to win and not playing not to lose," said Oklahoma City coach Todd Nelson. "If you play to win, you go after it. If you play not to lose, bad things happen."
Jimmy Hayes had a hat trick and scored five points to spark the IceHogs' rally. Jermy Morin added two goals and an assist.
It was Rockford's AHL-best eighth third-period come-from-behind win.
"Obviously, they're a hot team, but we had the lead in both games and couldn't hold on," said forward Chris VandeVelde, who recently returned to OKC after playing 11 games with Edmonton. "We have to mature as a team and figure that out."
Goaltender Niko Hovinen allowed six goals, but Nelson and some teammates credited Hovinen for making some remarkable saves that allowed OKC to lead 4-1.
"I thought Niko played a good game the first half," Nelson said. "Eventually it's going to catch up to you. The turning point was two turnovers in our zone that gave them life. From there on they capitalized on opportunities."
Unlike Friday's game when OKC was outshot 38-15, the IceHogs owned only a 36-31 edge in shots on goal. But like Friday's game, Rockford dominated the third period, outshooting the Barons 12-3.
The IceHogs' offensive explosion overshadowed a solid game from OKC left winger Philippe Cornet, who scored two goals and added an assist.
A starter in the AHL All-Star game last year, Cornet started this season with Stockton in the ECHL when some of the Edmonton Oilers young stars opened the season in Oklahoma City. He has spent the past two months in OKC.
"It wasn't easy going down to Stockton, something I didn't anticipate doing," Cornet said. "I need to take responsibility up here and help us find a way to win."
Cornet's ninth Barons goal of the season gave OKC a 1-0 lead a little more than a minute into the game. Cornet's second goal, set up by Brett Clark's pass, made it 2-0.
Team captain Josh Green gave OKC a 3-0 cushion midway through the first period. Mark Arcobello's 18th goal of the season, his 50th point, made it 4-1 but the IceHogs steamrolled the Barons the final 30 minutes.
"This is unacceptable," Cornet said. "We have to find a way to keep those type of games out of reach. It doesn't matter how good they're playing. It comes down to the way we play. We can't let teams hang around and steal two wins in our home building."

I made this for a party. Everyone loved it and many asked for the recipe.
Nice recipe for a Saturday lunch. We all enjoyed it!
Okay, I've tried this several ways. I made as written for vegetarians. I've changed it to fit into tiny crusty rolls and made some vegetarian and added italian meats to half of them. I've added roasted peppers. I have also made a version with Italian dressing sprinkled over them and added chopped green olives and crumbled feta cheese. All versions were popular and easy to assemble, the version on crusty rolls was most popular as it is easy to eat. I think I will try mixing the ingredient as a spread and see how that works next. Wonderful flavors.

Ukraine is filled with old ladies that want nothing more out of life than to feed you. A country that relies heavily on meat, potatoes, cabbage and beets, Ukrainians have been concocting combinations of these primary staples for centuries. Here's what babushka is planning to shove down your throat.
Many countries have handheld dough balls on the menu but none do it as hearty as the Ukrainians. These are bigger than your average donut hole and come stuffed with a big helping of homey ingredients. The most popular version is filled with ground meat or potatoes but many other varieties are available, including ones stuffed with slightly sour cabbage. Piroshki are widely hawked on the streets; look for the most wrinkly old lady to get yours.
Using greens as wraps may sound like a trend started by carb-haters. Don't be fooled; there's nothing light about galuptsi. The dish starts with a combination of well-seasoned ground meat combined with cooked rice. A palm-sized meaty lump is then placed in the center of a steamed cabbage leaf, rolled, and cuddled together in a baking dish. Everything is then topped with tomato sauce and popped in the oven to bubble away for a while. These are served with a heaping spoon of sour cream and as you cut through the cabbage to the meat, the cream becomes intertwined with the tomato tang, transforming it into the perfect bite of Ukrainian tradition.
Fundamentally, these are Ukrainian dumplings. Realistically, these are fucking brilliant pockets of hot juicy goodness. The basic elements remain the same: dough stuffed with meat, potatoes or cabbage. But ask anybody from the Soviet block how they eat theirs, and you'll have a full on food fight on your hands. Ukrainians keep their toppings relatively light, adding a bit of butter, vinegar, and black pepper to moisten the path from plate to face. The further north you move, the more sour cream, butter, and cheese you'll find smothering your pelmeni.
A cross between fried rice and risotto, plov is a Middle Eastern-inspired dish that's heavily-laced with lamb, carrots, and sometimes dried fruit. The dish is slow-cooked to infuse the gamey flavors of the lamb into the rice. This may sound like an one-dish meal, but don't be surprised when it's served with a side of carby fried potatoes and a breaded pork cutlet.
Perhaps the one Ukrainian dish that the world has heard of, borscht is the country's biggest source of culinary pride. In the states, the soup is often made more palatable by being run through the blender. In Ukraine, they dig the super chunk and wouldn't let an s-blade near their borscht. Packed with stain-everything beets, beef, and cabbage, this soup has had the whole nation pissing pink for eternity. To properly consume, don't skimp on garnishing your bowl with sour cream and dill.
OTP Fun Fact: Not all borscht is beet red. Green borscht, made with spinach, omits beets altogether and is a milder, brothier soup often consumed during the not-so-frigid months.
Ukrainians don't fuck with leafy greens when it comes to salads. Their bunny food comes fully-loaded with meat, mayo, and an array of chunky vegetables. The heaviest of the spread is Salat Olivier, a thick concoction of potatoes, eggs, ham, and peas, held together with a bucket of mayo. Invented by a Belgian chef in Moscow, this salad is popular all over Europe, especially Ukraine. A little lighter on the artery clog, vinigret is comprised mostly of beet chunks swimming in olive oil and vinegar. The most refreshing thing you'll find on a Ukrainian menu is a classic salad with chunky tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions, tossed in olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Use it to cut through the accumulating grease fest in your gut.
Not a small Frenchman, but a cake that'll make you wish your mouth took up more of your face. The classic version contains at least 15 layers of flaky dough layered with gobs of creamy custard. The ingredient list is short but the assembly process is labor-intensive. Sliced into squares, get a big one from the center and let that custard fall off your chin and into your winter coat.
Vodka and Zakuski
Ukrainians believe that no meal is complete without 100 grams of vodka, paired with a bite of food (zakuski) to help the booze reach its destination more smoothly. Zakuski can be anything from cold cuts to blini (mini-pancakes) with sour cream and caviar. Most commonly, people chase shots with something pickled. While a bite of pickled-cucumber will suffice, Ukrainians often switch it up with pickled tomatoes, cauliflower, carrots, mushrooms, peppers, garlic root, and herring.
In Ukraine, you will have bread with everything. None of that bullshit Texas toast white. These parts are all about their dark ryes. So dark, it's straight black. Rub yours down with a little garlic on the crust to impress the old ladies that'll be glaring at you to make sure you've cleaned off your plate.

Just found out from over the webz that Rockstar refused to sell Fox the rights for a GTA movie starring Eminem. While for some of you this might be dissapointing at first, what really troubled me was the reason for the refusal: it seems like Fox didn't paid enough money. Would that mean that Rockstar can ultimally be bought with a "fair price", no matter who makes the movie, or how? In my opinion, a GTA movie should avoid becoming "the blockbuster ASAP" type, filled with special effects and notorious superstars. It has to become a cult movie, (maybe) low budget and no-name actors and such. The intro for GTA2 is just awesome, and it would stand as a good example!
So, what do you think? Can Holywood do it, or would it trash it? Is it good, or is it bad that the chance was "killed"?

A GTA movie would be a disaster in my opinion. It would have to be A-List stars if it was to do the series any justice. Sure people would go and see it no matter what, but how many fans would leave the cinema thinking - "Well that was shit, nothing like GTA"? People would expect it to be based on one of the titles, not just a mish mash of car-jacking and mindless mayhem which is what it would be.
Like I said, that's my opinion.

^Pretty much what the argument boils down to. The fun of GTA is playing it and making things happen. Watch one of those crazy criminals on camera shows with police chases, stolen tanks, robbed banks, etc and pretend it's the same person running from the cops. That's a GTA movie.

HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) — Local officials in Ohio say all but one crossing has been reopened following a train derailment Friday night.
The Hamilton Fire Department reported that as of 9:30 a.m. Saturday only Walnut Street in the southern part of the city remained closed.
Two empty cars of a CSX train derailed in the city at approximately 8:15 p.m. Friday. No injuries were reported.
Fire, police and railroad authorities were on the scene Saturday to clear wreckage, repair affected tracks and determine what caused the cars to derail. No injuries have been reported.

Republican dominance appears to have remained intact in the West Valley's State House and Senate districts.
In District 4, Sen. Jack Harper, R-Surprise, had a clear lead over Democrat Robert Boehlke based on preliminary election counts Tuesday night.
Harper said his lead was larger than anticipated, and he attributed it to hard work and the "graciousness" of voters.
Republican incumbents Tom Boone and Judy Burges also had strong leads in the district's House race over Democrat challengers Sue Dolphin and Paula Forster.
In District 9, Sen. Bob Burns, R-Peoria, was leading against Democrat Karen Price. Burns, the incumbent, has already served six years in the seat.
In the House race, Republican Rick Murphy secured another term and Republican candidate Debbie Lesko replaces state Rep. Bob Stump, who ran for a seat on the Arizona Corporation Commission. The Republican candidates beat out Democrats Sheri Van Horsen and Shawn Hutchinson.
In District 12's Senate race, Republican John Nelson, who has represented the area in the House for eight years, appears to be successful in his bid to switch houses. He has a strong lead against Democrat Angela Cotera.
Nelson said the GOP victories in the West Valley were not surprising.
"That's really the result of a united effort by the West Valley Republicans to work together to move forward and to deal with the opposition," he said.
In a five-person, District 12 House race, Republican incumbent Jerry Weiers and Republican Steve Montenegro appeared headed to victory against Democrats David Scanlon and Eve Nunez and Green Party candidate Celeste Castorena.
In District 10, House Speaker Jim Weiers and former lawmaker Doug Quelland appear to be making it a GOP dominated District 10 in northwest Phoenix and Glendale, letting Weiers retain his seat but costing incumbent Democrat Rep. Jackie Thrasher her freshman post. Democrat Lamont Lovejoy, Green candidate Margarite Dale and Libertarian Scott Gibson were trailing in the race.
Republican incumbent Linda Gray was leading in the District 10 Senate race against Democrat Martin Monroe.
