Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/3/2013 (1636 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
NEVER mind, Armani, go away, Valentino, time's up, Chanel. None of those designers were good enough for best-supporting actress nominee Helen Hunt, who wore a dress from mass retailer H&M on the Oscars red carpet Sunday.
Oh, and $700,000 worth of Martin Katz jewelry, too.
Hunt said the strapless gown, navy-blue with a train also is "green," as she explained to E! host Ryan Seacrest.
"I'm not kidding!" she exclaimed.
She chose it "because it was the most beautiful dress I tried on and they partner with Global Green," she said. "It was a win-win-win." Asked if it was comfortable, she said, "I'm not in my sweat pants but I do feel pretty good."
The Twitterverse approved.
"H&M for Helen Hunt: certainly the most affordable gown on the red carpet #oscars proves that you DONT have to spend a lot to look AMAZING!" tweeted Oprah's O magazine, one of numerous tweets applauding her look.
Already an Oscar winner, Hunt was nominated for her role as a sex surrogate in The Sessions.
Her dress may be the most accessible choice of a red-carpet walker since Sharon Stone wore The Gap to the Academy Awards in 1996 (a charcoal grey turtleneck), and in 1998 (a white button-down shirt).

As we learned from Adam Rubin this morning, a number of Mets have cleared waivers, meaning they can be traded to any team. Prior to July 31, this was true of any player- after the non-waiver trading deadline, a player must go through waivers- with each team in reverse record order getting a chance to claim him- before that is possible.
Teams tend to put a huge number of their players through waivers, since they can always choose not to deal those players to the claiming team. (The team asking for waivers on a player can also just say, "Here, you take him.") And if a deal can be worked out, everybody wins.
So here are the Mets who weren't claimed, as per Rubin: Jason Bay, Chris Capuano, D.J. Carrasco, Willie Harris, Angel Pagan. Let's run down their immediate futures:
Jason Bay: it makes sense that teams wouldn't claim Jason Bay, in much the same way that if your neighbor came over and offered you his crippling student debt, you'd decline to claim it as well. Had a team claimed Bay, it is safe to assume the Mets would have reacted roughly like this. Bay is owed the remainder of his $16 million salary in 2011, along with a $35 million obligation through 2013 (assuming his option doesn't vest for 2014).
One of the great unanswered questions about Jason Bay is this: how well will he need to play, and for how long, for another team to take on even a portion of his contract in a trade? With the kind of track record Bay posted through 2009, would a second half that continued at the pace of his August so far-.311/.392/.556- get it done? Is that enough production to convince another team to take a chance on him? And is there an amount of production Bay can have that would persuade the Mets to keep him around, even if another team would take him on?
I simply don't know the answer to the first question- my suspicion is that if he hits for a .900+ OPS for two months, some team will deal a bad contract to the Mets for Bay. As to the second question, I doubt very much that the Mets will hesitate at the first chance to unload Bay, even if he posts a 1.200 OPS over the final two months of the season.
Chris Capuano: Unless the offers weren't very good, I'm not sure why Capuano didn't get traded by July 31. Capuano not getting claimed certainly points to that likelihood. But no matter: teams still need pitching, especially Arizona, and Angel Pagan was good enough to end Jason Marquis's season to help the Mets with leverage. (This is what the mean by contributions that don't show up in the box score.)
Capuano is signed through the end of the season. There was some hopeful talk that Capuano could become a Type B free agent, meaning that if the Mets offered him arbitration, he declined, then signed elsewhere, the team could get a draft pick. But as of August 1, Capuano wasn't even close to making the Type B cut. As Principal Ed Rooney once said, "Between grief or nothing, I'll take grief." If by "grief" he meant a "Grade C prospect", I'm with Ed.
D.J. Carrasco: Signed to a two-year contract this winter, Carrasco struggled early, spent time in the minors, but his second-half numbers have been a lot better. In 12 2/3 innings, he's walked just three while striking out 11. If someone wants to give the Mets a useful piece, Carrasco shouldn't be untouchable, but I'd be inclined to keep him around and see how he fits into the 2012 plans- less because of his second-half numbers, and more because those numbers fit into his career profile of a useful swingman pitcher.
Willie Harris: Trade him for a lottery ticket. A lottery ticket could help the Mets in 2012. Willie Harris, free-agent-to-be, cannot.
Angel Pagan: This one is the tough one. Pagan has experienced a down season, with his OPS+ dropping from 107 in 2010 to 92 in 2011, and his fielding going from way above average to considerably below average at the same time.
The hitting appears to be largely a BABIP trick. Pagan's .268 average on balls in play this season, after a .331 mark in 2010, doesn't reflect fewer line drives. In fact, he's producing line drives at a rate greater than his 2009 or 2010 seasons. So assuming he'll get most of his 2009/10 production back in 2012 doesn't seem like a stretch.
But the defense worries me. He's been, to the naked eye, as bad out there as the metrics say. And remember, he turned 30 last month- defense doesn't get better with age, and usually peaks sooner.
Even that 107 OPS+ from 2010 isn't great in a corner outfield spot, so Pagan needs to be a reasonably strong defender in center field to make him a great future fit. If the Mets decide he's going to be non-tendered this winter, perhaps he is a trade candidate right now. My only reservation is that a league-average offensive option who can play center field isn't really around this organization right now.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/12/2012 (1706 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The name is the same, and the plain but comfortable interior looks the same, but this isn't the Huangpu River I reviewed approximately eight years ago. No longer can we have that rare Shanghai soup dumpling -- the one with the soup inside; in fact, we can't have any dim sum at all. The restaurant is under new management and everything is new -- the owners, the chef, and the menu.
There's nothing new about the takeout menu, though, which reads like most you've ever seen, right down to the dry wontons, chop sueys, chow meins and anything sweet and sour. But look on the other side and it becomes clear that this isn't just another neighbourhood takeout joint. These listings are printed in Chinese only, close to 200 of them, with not a single translation -- annoying to those of us who won't be able to eat authentic Chinese at home, but proof, on the other hand, that the restaurant caters to a knowledgeable Chinese clientele.
In other words, for the real stuff you'll just have to visit the restaurant, where the wide-ranging in-house menu lists all those mysterious items in English -- possibly even more of them -- with glossy colour photographs as helpful guides. The chef, we were told, has cooked in different areas of China, and the menu features dishes from various provinces. Portions are copious enough to feed four to six easily, with leftovers, with most main courses are priced from $10.95 to $12.95. The choices are varied and interesting enough to give me a headache when trying to make decisions. The servers though, were wonderfully patient during my dithering, and knocked themselves out to help.
The hot sour soup was robust and flavourful, but needed a few splashes of Chinese red vinegar to live up to its name. It wasn't actually needed, but the same vinegar is optional in the delicately flavoured deluxe seafood soup, liberally crammed with bits of shrimp, scallops, squid, bean cake, squiggles of jellyfish, and streaks of egg white -- so satisfying I was inclined to forgive the many pieces of fake crab meat.
There are a number of interesting cold dishes. Crunchy, noodle-like jellyfish with slices of chicken, glossed with a sesame sauce is common enough. Not, however, the mysteriously named Icy Smoked Petittoes, which we assumed was a misspelling of potatoes, but which turned out to be chewy, galantine-like slices of boned pigs feet, jazzed up by a bracing topping of ice-cold minced garlic and chili. And not the harmless-sounding but tongue-searing surprise of Spicy Beef with Cucumbers, which was one of the hottest dishes I've ever had -- spicy dishes are marked by pepper symbols, but they don't always tell the whole story.
The undisputed winner of two visits was the superb Sizzling Iron-Plate Eggplant, the skin crisp, the inside meltingly tender, stuffed on one visit with ground pork, on another with sliced pork, but on both grilled to a miraculous crispness and cloaked in a slightly sweet, slightly nippy sauce, with a few token spears of broccoli on the side.
Another gem -- listed as Chicken in a Copper Pan -- turned out to be little bone-in nuggets strewn with whole garlic cloves and slices of ginger, sealed in foil and baked, a process that concentrated the flavours wonderfully. Also excellent was Three Sauce Chicken, cooked in soy sauce, wine and sesame oil.
A simple-sounding but delicious dish of stir-fried crunchy green beans sprinkled with salty crumbs of pork was only moderately spicy. They didn't hold back on the spices for the chili-flecked Mapo Tofu bean cake with pork, and I also liked the tender chunks of pork boldly seasoned with cumin, and the beef stir-fried with mushrooms in a rich brown sauce,
Don't miss the plump, juicy shrimp dotted by candied walnuts -- not (thankfully, at least for my taste) glopped up with mayonnaise as I've sometimes had it elsewhere. Also good was a combination of shrimp, scallops and remarkably tender strips of squid stir-fried with gai lan and plenty of garlic.
As if 200 items on the menu aren't enough, there are specials listed in Chinese only on a board near the entrance, and our server was kind enough to translate some of them, and wise enough to steer us to two of them. Both were terrific -- salty-crisp balls of sweet-fleshed basa fish in the lightest possible coating of crumbs, and a casserole of an unnamed fish (basa, I think) in an intense, almost winey sauce.
The Singapore-style vermicelli with tiny shrimp and bits of barbecued pork was OK, but I think I'd skip it next time, since it is available everywhere, in equally OK versions. I definitely would skip the ho fan flat rice noodles with beef that tasted pulpy from tenderizing in a bland, undefinable sauce.
The only dessert is a kind of watery tapioca; I don't recommend it.
Service was attentive and super-friendly, although by 6 p.m. on a Saturday night, we were in competition with innumerable takeout orders, and it did occasionally bog down. Like most Pembina Highway addresses, this one is also almost invisible, so note that it is just past Plaza Drive, and the entrance to the strip mall is marked by the huge A&W sign.

State Education Commissioner John King Thursday told Gannett's Albany Bureau that more than 500 of the state's roughly 700 school districts have submitted plans for the new state-mandated teacher evaluations.
About 200 districts have had plans approved, King said. Schools face a Jan. 17 deadline for education department approval; if they miss it, they'll forfeit a scheduled increase in state aid.
"We've received well over 500 plans. I expect that by early December, that number will be closer to 600," King said Thursday while he was attending a conference in Albany. "We've reviewed and provided feedback to probably close to 500 of the plans. We've got about 200 or so that have been approved. Now, maybe somewhat more than that, over the last week. So, we're moving in a very positive direction."
He said some districts are stuck in their bargaining process, but they're not haggling over the evaluations. Rather, they're working out salary and benefits details.
King said he hopes to see those districts either resolve their issues soon or complete side evaluations agreements and return to compensation contracts later.
He said he's seen principals and teachers already improving their work since adopting the new evaluations.
"As I travel around the state, I hear from districts and their bargaining units about their good collaboration, about the ways in which the evaluation is changing conversations about instruction," he said. "Principals are really talking to teachers in different ways about what they see in the classroom, relying on the common language for what good teaching looks like from the rubrics that are a part of the evaluation system."

Celeb Real Estate: Emma Stone + Andrew Garfield Shack Up in Beverly Hills
Raise your hand if you want a peek at Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield's new digs!
-Lucia Peters
Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield have gone bi-costal! The Amazing Spider-Man love birds reportedly already shacked up together in an apartment in New York earlier this year; now, though, they've added a California residence to their list of abodes. And you know what? It's actually pretty cozy-looking!
According to The Real Estalker, Emma and Andrew's new digs are in the Coldwater Canyon section of Beverly Hills and went for $2,500,000. Fun fact: The flagstone-faced ranch residence was once owned by Dudley Moore. The property boasts four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms spread out over 3,862 square feet. Here's the exterior:

The entrance hall (which, by the way, has gorgeous hard wood floors) leads to a step-down living room featuring a vaulted wood ceiling, partially paneled walls, a ginormous white brick fireplace, and French doors. The French doors open onto a courtyard terrace. Oh, and there's also a set of double glass doors in the living room that open to a walk-in, temperature-controlled wine closet. Chi-chi!
Other features of the house include a formal dining room, a breakfast room, and a galley-style kitchen:

White House Completes Review for Black Boxes in Automobiles

Sender E-mail
(Source: saferautomobiles.com)
The NHTSA is now preparing to finalize the regulation
The White House has finished its review of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) proposal to
mandate event data recorders
(EDR) in all new vehicles.
Now that the White House Office of Management Budget has completed the review, the NHTSA is preparing to finalize the regulation. The proposal suggests increasing the number of new vehicles with EDRs from 91.6 percent today to 100 percent of light-duty cars and trucks.
Event data recorders, also known as "black boxes," collect driver data such as speed, use of a seatbelt, whether brakes were applied, etc. before and after a vehicle crash. The idea behind them is to deploy better safety measures for vehicles as well as better overall vehicle design.
The NHTSA originally said it'd create a proposal for the White House concerning EDR regulation by the end of 2011. After doing so, the White House Office of Management Budget delayed comment or review for a year.
Back in August of this year, the NHTSA
rejected the White House's request
for further delay of the black box standards.
Some automakers already place EDRs in all of their vehicles, such as Ford, General Motors Mazda and Toyota.
The road to EDR regulation hasn't been all smooth, though. The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, which includes Toyota, Volkswagen AG and Detroit's Big Three, had issues with both driver privacy and the
cost of these black boxes
The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers complained in May 2010 that the black boxes suggested by the government were too expensive to deploy in all vehicles. Further, it stated that EDRs could potentially be abused by the government.
"Event data recorders help our engineers understand how cars perform in the real world but looking forward, we need to make sure we preserve privacy," said Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers spokeswoman Gloria Bergquist. "Automakers do not access EDR data without consumer permission, and any government requirements to install EDRs on all vehicles must include steps to protect consumer privacy."
In April of this year, the U.S. Senate passed a highway bill called the "Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act", also known as MAP21. The bill aimed to require all new 2015 model year vehicles to have black boxes for record vehicle data.

"I'm an Internet expert too. It's all right to wire the industrial zone only, but there are many problems if other regions of the North are wired." -- North Korean Supreme Commander Kim Jong-il

VMware Lab engineers are at it again. This internal group of VMware developers and engineers has been tasked with creating interesting plug-ins, dubbed "flings," for the VMware vSphere and vCenter product lines that are made available for download to the entire VMware community.
These free yet unsupported tools are generally fun and useful product gap fillers, but they also come with a set of caveats. VMware says flings are intended to be played with and explored, but warns they shouldn't be used in a production environment. If you are the adventurous type -- or if your organization hasn't yet virtualized its mission-critical applications -- perhaps these flings will find their way into your production environment. Like anything else, it may come down to a risk/reward scenario.
[ Also on InfoWorld.com: Check out the top five reasons to consider VDI in 2011 | And find out why networking may be on the path to becoming 'interesting' again. | Keep up-to-date on virtualization by signing up for InfoWorld's Virtualization newsletter. ]
VMware's latest fling, called PXE Manager for vCenter, is a management tool designed to support automatic PXE boot (network boot using preboot execution environment) and automatic customization of large numbers of VMware ESXi systems. For large-scale deployments, this is important because it simplifies the setup and management and helps remove the need for large numbers of installation media. The drawback for some will be that this fling supports ESXi and not the more popular and more widely installed ESX.
For those who've already moved to or begun deploying ESXi hosts in their environment, this latest fling offers much more functionality. In fact, the PXE Manager vCenter plug-in is said to allow automated provisioning of both stateless and stateful ESXi hosts; perform ESXi host state (firmware) backup, restore, and archiving with retention capabilities; manage ESXi build repositories; perform ESXi patch management; provide support across multiple vCenters; support multiple networks with agents; and provide a wake-on-LAN capability, as well as the ability to deploy hosts directly to VMware vCloud Director and to Cisco UCS blades.
Very cool stuff indeed, but this newly released PXE Manager fling isn't the first time we've seen a PXE solution like this from VMware. In fact, the virtualization giant first introduced us to this PXE Manager technology for vCenter with a preview during VMworld Europe 2009 in Cannes. However, we haven't seen or heard much about it since that time, in large part perhaps because of the security implications or concerns that go along with it.
You see, VMware's lack of support isn't the only reason some folks may choose to completely avoid this fling. There are other security concerns to take into consideration when weighing the risk and reward. PXE relies heavily on the DHCP protocol, and many environments can't or won't add DHCP into a production datacenter for obvious security reasons.
VMware cloud services engineer and fling developer Max Daneri understands this security concern and says this is the reason that PXE Manager comes with its own DHCP server that isn't RFC compliant. A future version of PXE Manager will update the TFTP component to be non-RFC compliant as well, he adds. Additionally, the PXE setup and DHCP server should operate in a separate management network or isolated VLAN as not to interfere with the existing network infrastructure. Again, it may come down to looking at risk versus reward. While setup in a test/dev environment seems simple and easy, this fling may need more care and feeding when considered for a production environment where the need is most warranted.
If you want to get your hands on this latest PXE fling or any of the other experimental flings currently available, check out the VMware Labs website and download them now. Keep in mind, however, that this fling, like all other VMware flings, is still an unsupported Technical Preview; you use it at your own risk.
If ESXi-only support is keeping you away, remember: ESX and its Console Operating System (COS) are going away. VMware has been warning folks for quite some time that ESX would be replaced by the more secure and smaller-footprint ESXi. ESXi is the future of VMware -- a future that will be here before you know it. You might consider embracing it now to get ahead of the game as much as possible. Who knows -- this fling could be the catalyst needed for change.

Dive Against Debris- Summerland Key, FL, USA
24.669325, -81.352655
I am organizing this event through a club I co-sponsor, the Brevard Community College's Palm Bay Campus Environmental Club and their Service Learning Project: Save Our Seas (S.O.S.). Although we will have a group of students with us, we certainly want as many people to book with the shop on their own as possible.
We hope to dive either the outskirts of Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary, American Shoals, or Big Pine Shoals. The Captain will determine the site the morning of the dive. The dive will be two tanks. The dive shop has agreed to allow their pontoon boat to be chartered for this Dive for Debris event. The shop is a 5-STAR PADI Dive Center and we have used them for years. Please use their contact information (http://underseasinc.com/?page_id=5) to book your trip and help with our DIVE Against Debris. Be sure to mention you are part of the group "BCC's Dive Against Debris"!

Julianne Hough Is Designing Her Own Shoe Line!
'Safe Haven' star Julianne Hough is teaming up with Sole Society to create her own line of footwear. Find out all the deets here!
-Lucia Peters
It's become far from unusual for actresses, models, and singers to branch out into fashion design—and now we've got another one to add to the list! Safe Haven star Julianne Hough is teaming up with Sole Society to launch her own line of shoes in February, the actress announced on Thursday. We've already raved about how much we love Sole Society, so this is a collaboration we can totally get behind!
Julianne told People about the project, "I've always been into fashion. It's been a passion of mine. I've always wanted to create a line or a collection of my own, and Sole Society approached me and we just decided that it felt natural." It seems to be a match made in heaven; the way Julianne put it, "Everything I feel I'm about, they're about. I'm always trying to be fun and feminine and approachable. And I think that's the same concept and vibe that they give off as well."
Read Love It or Hate It? Dakota Fanning's Couture Cat Ears
What's Julianne's vision for the line? "I think the overall vibe is girly and vintage," she said, "and there's probably some edgy and sexy shoes in there, too." She added, "But it's not going to be just heels or just flats or just booties." Her goal is to create a line "that can serve as any girl's shoe wardrobe"; comfort is as important to her as style, which we're sure our feet will appreciate!
Although Julianne hasn't experimented too much with neon trend in her own personal style, she knows that those bright, vibrant colors are going to be on trend for February; as such, she's looking forward to the challenge of working with the trend. "With this [collaboration]," she explained, "one thing I love is I get to explore and I get to find an inner creative side to me."
Juianne's next movie, Safe Haven, hits cinemas on February 8.
Tell us: Will you be shopping Julianne's new line come February?

Starbucks Reserve® Nicaragua Maracaturra
A complex coffee big on flavor.
The Maracaturra coffee tree is a rare sight – but one that is immediately recognizable by large leaves and coffee flowers.
Perhaps that size is a hint to the big, complex flavors locked within: enticing florals layered with allspice and clove complement a bright acidity and a creamy, vanilla mouthfeel.
The trees that bore this amazing coffee were nurtured on the Cafetalera Buenos Aires farm in Dipilto, Nicaragua, a place where sustainable farming practices combine with fertile soil, high altitude and perfect microclimate.
The Maracaturra is a rare hybrid of more common Maragogype and Caturra varietals, making this coffee exactly the kind of seldom-seen discovery we can bring you through Starbucks Reserve® coffees.
Currently Available
- Producer: Cafetalara Buenos Aires, Dipilto, Nicaragua
- Elevation: 3,900 – 4,900 feet
- Coffee Variety: Maracaturra
- Processing Method: Washed
- Tasting Notes: Intense floral aroma with allspice and vanilla
- Body: Medium

The Dust Palace…with a Stranger
The Dust Palace…with a Stranger
HI: The creator of this cool show, Eve Gordon is available for interviews and is excellent talent. Ashburton is the only place on the tour that the cast are holding a workshop for (see details below). It is in the school holidays.
The Dust Palace…with a Stranger
The drama of first encounters played out with acrobatic finesse
Danger, drama and magical realism all combine in the circus theatre show …with a stranger coming to the Ashburton Trust Event Centre on 11 and 12 July.
The show's creator, Eve Gordon says …with a stranger uses acrobatic finesse, physicality and a series of stories to explore the unexplained chemistry that exists between people.
"It's a circus theatre show, so it has aerial performances and circus acts but there is a story thread running through it," she says. "It starts with a man in the lost property department of the world who realises his purpose in life is to redistribute the things he collects and by doing so he changes people's lives."
…with a stranger was originally devised for the 2013 Wellington inaugural Festival of Circus, which Eve described as a massive honour for a new company.
"We were asked to headline the festival, which meant creating a show that we could take from Auckland to Wellington," she says. "There was no funding available at the time so it was made on a shoe string and we toured it in a suitcase with a couple of chairs."
Since it's debut Eve says the show has developed further but is still made for touring:
"Any show, regardless of how much money or time it has, needs periods of gestation for the creative team to mull over things."
…with a stranger is physically demanding on the six-member cast and the lead up to the performance requires extensive preparation.
"It's a particularly demanding show and we are doing all our hardest stuff," Eve says. "We fly through the air and we throw each other around - so we have to be match fit."
Rigging the show can also present challenges to the venues, as all the aerial performances are counterweighted. However, Eve says she's always wanted to take it on the road and is 'super excited about bringing it to the South Island'.
…with a stranger has been well received by critics with comment such as:
"…an engagingly intimate circus experience with a distinctly art-house flavour," from Paul Simei-Barton, New Zealand Herald
and "…highly entertaining, incredibly moving and very sensual," from Campbell Stodart, Express Magazine.
…with a stranger is produced by the Auckland based circus theatre company, The Dust Palace. The Top of the South Arts Touring Consortium is bringing the show to Nelson, Oamaru and Ashburton. The consortium is in the fifth year of touring performances to the regions through the Creative NZ Regional Presenters fund.
Ashburton workshop
The cast of the Dust Palace production …with a stranger is holding a workshop at the Ashburton Event Centre on Monday 14 July. They will be sharing their talents in aerial performance, acting, slapstick and ground based circus skills.
Palace director Eve Gordon says young people get confidence,
bravery and improved physical ability from learning circus
"Learning to fall, roll, invert yourself upside down and hold your own body weight does amazing things for kids' confidence."
…with a stranger is at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre, Friday 11 July and Saturday 12 July 2014 at 7.30pm.
Tickets: Adult $42.00, Seniors $37.00, Students $25, Groups 8+ $35 (plus service fees). Book at the theatre or on line at www.ticketdirect.co.nz

Great blender
I used to buy a blender at Wal-Mart for $35 and figure a blender was a blender. I would fix a smoothie in it and I would smell smoke (underpowered motor) and after about 3 months the motor would burn up. Those blenders never did really fix a SMOOTH smoothie, there was always ice bits let in it. Well, this new (more expensive) blender from Kitchenaide solved all those issues for me. No more smoking appliance, no more ice bits left in my smoothie and no more burned out motor. I really didn't know a home blender could fix a smoothie as smooth as it does. They taste so much better than before. It is also so nice not haveing to disassemble the blender jar (it is all one piece with no removable base) to clean it. Just fill half way up with hot water, put a couple drops of dishwashing soap in it, put lid on and blend for a min to clean. I am very satisfied with this new blender.Read More
works well, but had issue with jar leaking
I use this everyday to make smoothies, the belder works great, except after less than a month the jar started leaking. The blade attachment loosened up. I was able to tighten it down again, but I'm wonderring how long it will stay tight for. Not really worth spending the extra money on a blender if you have to either clean up messes all the time, or keep getting out tools to fix it!Read More
not the best KitchenAid
The bottom of the jar where the blender connects to the jar was very cheap and wore down too fast. I had to get a new jar from KitchenAid within a month. The blades are very sharp and will blast through ice, but the plastic jar scares me a little....Read More
Love It!
Tried many brands and this one is the toughest and most reliable I have found. This blender can handle all heavy use, definitely work the money.Read More
4 1/2 stars
This is a great blender. High quality, nicely made, much better than the Waring I started with and returned. Does the job well, has enough but not too many settings. The only reason I did not give it a perfect score is that I make fruit smoothies from frozen fruit. I need the let the frozen fruit defrost in the blender for 20 minutes or so before I can grind it. Otherwise, if I don't, it will freeze up.Read More

Breaking the Billiard BallLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
It is your task to determine how high you can drop a billiard ball without it breaking. There is a 100 story building and you must determine which is the highest floor you can drop a ball from without it breaking. You have only two billiard balls to use as test objects. If both of them break before you determine the answer then you have failed at your task. What is the order of floors that you should drop the balls from to minimize the number of droppings that you will have to make to determine the answer?
Assume that if a ball doesn't break you can reuse it without worrying about it being weakened.
AnswerIf the proper order is chosen, you can determine the breaking point with a maximum of 14 drops. Here's how to do it:
First drop the first ball from the 14th floor. If it breaks you can determine the exact breaking point with the other ball in at most 13 more droppings, starting at the bottom and going up one floor at a time.
If the first ball survives the 14 floor drop then drop it again from the 27th (14+13) floor. If it breaks you can determine the exact breaking point with at most 12 more droppings.
If the first ball survives the 27 floor drop then drop it again from the 39th (14+13+12) floor. If it breaks you can determine the exact breaking point with at most 11 more droppings.
Keep repeating this process always going up one less floor than the last dropping until the first ball breaks. If it breaks on the xth dropping you will only need at most 14-x more droppings with the second ball to find the breaking point. By the 11th dropping of the first ball, if you get that far, you will have reached the 99th floor.

Academic Year: 2009 – 2010
The broad-based Communication Department offers students the opportunity to specialize in journalism/media studies or interpersonal communication, and to explore theatre, media technology, public relations, intercultural communication, photography, and radio and video production. Courses help students improve their skills in writing, speaking, and understanding the messages of others in individual, group, and mass media contexts. To accomplish these goals, the curriculum addresses the theoretical, critical, and technical aspects of communication.
UIS Theatre is currently part of the Communication Department. Theatre course offerings are listed in the course schedule under the THE prefix and are cross-listed with COM.
The undergraduate degree in Communication has three main objectives: 1) to instruct the student in general communication theory and technology; 2) to provide the student an opportunity for more intensive study in a specific area of communication; and 3) to ensure that the communication graduate is capable of applying knowledge of general communication theory and technology to specific social problems. The baccalaureate curriculum covers two topical areas: interpersonal communication, and journalism and media studies.
Entrance Requirements
Requirements for admission as a candidate for the B.A. degree are identical to general UIS requirements but must be met at the time of admission to the degree. Students who are required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) examination must achieve a score of 580 or above on the paper test or the equivalent on the computer-based test to be admitted to the degree.
Faculty members work with new students to plan courses of study. Based on instructors' assessments of writing ability in required courses, advisors may require advisees to take remedial courses. Generally, advisors assist students in developing personal programs of study and in identifying all necessary requirements.
Credit for Prior Learning
Students with extensive life or work experience in some area of communication may apply for academic credit through Credit for Prior Learning (CPL). The Communication Department awards such credit in each of its two topical areas (interpersonal communication, and journalism and media studies) through COM 431 and COM 451. Prior learning credit is not awarded for specific courses. The Department will award a maximum of four hours of credit for prior experiential learning in any one topical area and a maximum of 8 hours of CPL credit to any undergraduate student.
Credit/No Credit
Communication majors may not take any COM course as part of the requirements for the major on a CR/NC basis.
Course Repetition
COM 380 and COM 480 may be taken for credit more than once provided the course topic is different each time. No more than eight semester hours of credit for COM 499 (tutorials) will be accepted for the degree. All other Communication courses may be repeated for grade improvement only once.
Major Requirements
Communication majors must complete 32 hours in the major. In addition, they may take up to 8 hours in Communication courses to satisfy the upper-division general electives. COM 302 and 303 should be taken prior to or concurrent with any other course work in their respective curricular areas.
All undergraduate students are required to take a department assessment examination during their first semester and during their last semester before graduation. The entrance examination is normally administered during a regular class and is used by the department to assess its curriculum. It does not affect students' grades in any way.
Students should consult with general education advisors or advisors in the major for specific guidance regarding completion of general education requirements.
COM 302 Introduction to Interpersonal/Organizational Communication 4 Hrs.
COM 303 Introduction to Mass Media 4 Hrs.
Communication emphasis requirements (primary topical area) 16 Hrs.
Communication distribution requirements (from other than primary area) 8 Hrs.
Course Offerings
Cross-listed courses from other departments used as part of the 32-hour major must bear the COM course prefix.
Transfer Credit
Transfer credits from other institutions may not be used to substitute for introductory core courses. However, students may file a Student Petition Form to use them to satisfy other parts of the major or minor, provided the credit is for an upper-division course equivalent to one offered by the Communication Department and that the grade earned was a C or better.
MINOR IN COMMUNICATION (16 Hrs.)
COM 302 Introduction to Interpersonal/Organizational Communication
COM 303 Introduction to Mass Media 4 Hrs.
Plus a choice of two courses in the same curricular area as
the course selected above 8 Hrs.
Any 300-level or 400-level COM course
or 200-level COM course (by petition) 4 Hrs.
There are no prerequisites for entry into the minor. Students are advised to take the basic core courses (COM 302 or 303) before or concurrent with other courses in the same curricular area. The elective course may be from within or outside this curricular area; if outside, it may be taken without the corresponding introductory course. Communication minors may not take any COM course as part of the requirements for the minor on a CR/NC basis.
The graduate program in Communication has two main objectives: 1) to guide students in an intensive exploration of the structure and function of communication; and 2) to educate students in the methods and theory of communication inquiry.
Although 400-level courses are open to both B.A and M.A. candidates, graduate students enrolled in 400-level courses should expect more stringent grading standards and/or more assignments (and perhaps differently structured assignments) than undergraduates enrolled in the same courses.
Entrance Requirements
For admission to the M.A. degree, the student must have a bachelor's degree or equivalent and pass the department's graduate admission writing examination. The department reserves the right to require additional course work where deficiencies are indicated. A student must have an undergraduate GPA of 3.00 or greater (on a 4.00 scale) for regular admission to the degree. Students with GPAs slightly below 3.00 may file a Student Petition Form with the department for admission and should contact the department for details. Students who are required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) examination must achieve a score of 580 or above on the paper test or the equivalent on the computer-based test to be admitted.
Each new graduate student should consult with a faculty advisor before initial registration. Advisors work with students to develop a tentative course of study based on department requirements and on the students' personal interests.
Grading Policy
No grade below B- in a Communication course may be applied toward the degree, and students who do not maintain a 3.00 grade-point average will be placed on academic probation. Communication courses to be counted toward the degree requirements may not be taken on a CR/NC basis except for COM 501.
Course Repetition
COM 570 and 580 may be taken for credit more than once provided the course topic is different each time. No more than six semester hours of credit for COM 499 and COM 599 (tutorials) will be accepted for the degree. All other Communication courses may be repeated for grade improvement only once.
Required Courses
Students must complete department-required courses (COM 501, COM 504, COM 506) at UIS to graduate. No waivers or substitutions are accepted. Courses with a 300 number that advisors require of graduate students as prerequisites must be passed with a minimum grade of B. Hours so earned may not be counted toward the graduate degree.
Degree Requirements
All Communication M.A. candidates are required to complete at least 36 hours of graduate study in communication, including at least three 500-level graduate seminars. Graduate seminars are numbered 514 through 580.
No more than eight semester hours of COM courses may be taken before taking COM 504. A student may not register for COM 501 Closure Experience until he/she has registered for COM 506.
COM 504 Introduction to Graduate Study in Communication 4 Hrs.
COM 506 Research Methods in Communication 4 Hrs.
500-level graduate seminars in Communication 12 Hrs.
Graduate-level COM courses (400- or 500-level) 12 Hrs.
*Elective (400- or 500-level) 4 Hrs.
COM 501 Closure Experience (minimum) 4 Hrs.
*If elective is outside of Communication, it must be approved by a Student Petition to the Communication Department.
Additional courses may be required by the advisor, with department approval, in order to meet deficiencies. COM 599 Tutorial credit may not be used to satisfy the 500-level seminar requirement.
Master's Closure
In accordance with campus requirements, all graduate students must complete a closure experience (COM 501) consisting of one of the following: a thesis, a project, or comprehensive exams. The proposed thesis or project must be approved by a faculty committee before it is begun. Students must have completed a minimum of 32 (preferably 36) credit hours to be eligible for comprehensive exams. Students write comprehensive exams over five areas during a two-day period. Comprehensive exams will be offered once every semester at a regularly scheduled time. More specific guidelines on any of the three options listed above are available from the Communication Department or from COM faculty.
Students must enroll for a total of four hours credit in the closure experience; however, they may accrue the total in increments. Campus policy requires that students be enrolled in at least one semester hour of closure experience for each fall and spring semester after they have begun their graduate closure exercise until that exercise is completed. For Communication students, this means that if the closure experience (thesis/project/comprehensive exams) has not been completed by the end of four continuous credit hours of enrollment in COM 501, students must register for COM 502 Closure Experience Continuing Enrollment (zero credit hours, one billable hour) each semester (excluding summer terms) until the closure experience is completed.
Course Offerings
Cross-listed courses may be accepted for the major. Students should be careful to register for the course with the appropriate department prefix (COM) to ensure that credit is received. Other courses may be accepted toward the major through Student Petition to the Department.

The perfect spot to relax on Phuquoc Island. Our 1 bedroom villa was cozy and comfortably air conditioned. It was unseasonably hot during our stay, not sure April is the best month for travel here. The resort is beautiful, staff professional and gracious. Food delicious. We'd highly recommend the property.
The Hotel is just a dream with kind and well trained stuff.
Very friendly staff. As many German guests stay at the hotel, staff even has German lessons. Wonderful beach - with great service (e.g. comlimentary yoghurt; beer in ice bucket; shower at the beach; no sales people around)
From the moment we stepped off the plane it was a wonderful, magical experience. The staff, property, amenities & grounds were fantastic. Beautiful rooms and great bathroom amenities. Really a special place.
While the weather was not brilliant ( end of wet season) we still really enjoyed ourselves. The staff were brilliant helping you and very courteous. Lovely little bars/eateries close by also and very good value for money.
Lovely welcome from the staff - right after I booked on Booking.com, the hotel contacted ME directly to ask when I'd be arriving so they could pick me up from the airport- they even checked ahead to see whether the flight was on time. Secluded and quiet. Great private beach. Loved the colonial style appearance. Really efficient maid service in the mornings and great turn down service at night. Lovely, inexpensive little place to eat just outside the gates so I didn't eat there in the evenings. Breakfast was great, though, with loads of variety - Western and Asian! Try to avoid a room on the bottom floor if you are in one of the two storey buildings - the tiled floors are beautiful, but they echo the noise of furniture or anything else moving accross the floor of the room above - a pity the builders did not install soundproofing between floors, but that was the only negative I could think of.
La Veranda Resort is a friendly and comfortable hotel offering clean facilities of high standard and great dining facilities with a wide selection of food. The cocktail drinks are not of bar standards (could be improved).
It was a peaceful place to finish my trip around Vietnam. It's got good facilities and easy access to a great beach.
Beautiful colonial style hotel set in lush gardens and with it's own beach. Some lovely little thoughtful little touches and nice pool area. Good restaurants for every budget nearby if you don't want to eat in the hotel which is quite expensive.
Everything! Couldn't fault anything, it was perfect.
An quiet and peaceful for a holiday trip
Good pool alongside the beach; Really nice gardens; From walking past many resorts, it looked like the best luxury resort on the island.

Make Your Own Chocolate Hazelnut Spreadby Dana Angelo White in Healthy Recipes, October 27, 2011
Folks got real fired up over our recent post about chocolate hazelnut spreads, such as Nutella. Everyone agrees that this sweet spread is delicious, but some are surprised to learn that it's not as healthy as it sounds. But the good news is, you can enjoy a healthier version of this treat by making your own.
Go Nuts!
Since it's basically a nut butter, this recipe isn't just for hazelnuts. Follow the method with your favorite nuts and flavorings.
Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread
Makes about 2 ½ cups
½ pound raw hazelnuts (about 2 cups)
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup honey
½ tsp kosher salt
2 tablespoons canola oil
Preheat oven to 350-degrees F. Place nuts on a baking sheet and toast for 8 to 10 minutes until warm and fragrant (keep an eye on them to make sure they don't burn). Remove from oven and set aside to cool for 5 minutes. Transfer nuts to a clean dish towel; gently fold and roll towel over the nuts to remove some of the skins.
Place nuts in a food processor and process for 4 to 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl periodically. It will seem overly dry and chunky at first but continue to process until you have a smooth nut butter. Add cocoa, honey and salt and pulse to combine. With the machine running, gently stream in canola oil. Transfer to a resealable container and store in the fridge for up to one week.
