Review Roundup: Second Stage's AMERICAN HERO
Second Stage Theatre presents Bess Wohl's AMERICAN HERO, opening tonight, May 22, and running through June 15th.
Directed by Tony nominee Leigh Silverman, American Hero features Ari Graynor (2st Trust), Daoud Heidami (Bengal Tiger at The Baghdad Zoo), Jerry O'Connell (Seminar) andErin Wilhelmi (The Great God Pan). AMERICAN HERO opens tonight, May 22.
This production of American Hero features scenic design by Dane Laffrey, costumes by Clint Ramos, lighting design by Jen Schriever, and sound design by Jill BC Du Boff.
American Hero is a supersized dark comedy about life, liberty and the pursuit of sandwiches. Let's see what the critics had to say...
Charles Isherwood, The New York Times: Ms. Wohl's improbable but often darkly funny comedy, directed with flair by Leigh Silverman (a Tony nominee for "Violet"), takes a wry, compassionate attitude toward American workers barely clinging to the bottom rungs of the economic ladder...Ms. Wohl is guilty of distorting her characters' natural behavior to rope in a big laugh. "American Hero" often feels like an Annie Baker play that has been put through the development process for a Hollywood sitcom: The characters are life-bruised, sympathetically observed small fry, but the plot often evolves in synthetic-feeling directions...But in depicting the blooming friendships that take root even in this dreary job environment, "American Hero" underscores that even when the work may get you down, the people you work with can give you a lift.
Marilyn Stasio, Variety: For a play that needs to go through at least one more draft, "American Hero" is more provocative and entertaining than you'd expect. Set in a generic sandwich shop in an anonymous strip mall, Bess Wohl's quirky comedy observes a few specimens of the embattled American working class whose aspirational hopes and dreams have been reduced to the low-wage service jobs they're fighting to hang onto. Under Leigh Silverman's sure directorial hand, a smart cast fills in some of the blanks of their unfinished characters, lending them some dignity in their darkest moments of comic desperation.
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter: American Hero never quite lives up to its tasty premise, although it delivers some mild chuckles along the way...Director Leigh Silverman (a current Tony Award nominee for Broadway's Violet) infuses the production with a precise attention to detail, from the depiction of the workers' daily mundane activities to Dane Laffrey's ultra-realistic set design to the musical underscoring that includes Muzak versions of such songs as "Up Where We Belong" and "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)." But neither the characterizations nor the situations are provocative enough to give this slight work the satirical heft it needs. Despite the fine comedic performances -- Wilhelmi is a particular delight as the innocent, eager beaver Sheri -- American Hero just doesn't have enough meat.
Robert Kahn, NBC New York: "American Hero" calls to mind a range of anxiety-generating post-recession narratives, among them Laura Marks' "Bethany," which saw America Ferrera employed at a doomed Saturn dealership. Wohl's dialogue can be as bland as iceberg lettuce or as peppery as arugula, but the ideas she's toying with do, indeed, leave you plenty to chew on.
Jesse Green, Vulture: It's a comedy, it's a critique, it's political, it's interpersonal: It's one of the indigestible combo torpedoes advertised on the backlit menu boards dominating Dane Laffrey's set. The comedy element is the most successful...Instead the actors are forced to defer to the marionette dramaturgy of what you soon realize, with a sigh, is a parable. Each of the three sandwich artists has a Larger Function: Ted represents the delusional American religion of self-improvement; Jamie, the dead-end anarchy of the cynic; and Sheri, the surprising resourcefulness of the downtrodden. When their boss mysteriously disappears, and the tuna ominously runs out, the drama of how these abstract and now untethered forces interact -- opposing, recombining, betraying -- gives the play its backbone. Unfortunately, it also falsifies the characters, since real people don't actually represent anything. Or not just one thing. They are each the blur of their many possible significances.
Joe Dziemianowicz, New York Daily News: The fitfully amusing but distractingly diffuse comedy "American Hero" follows three diverse people trying to earn their daily bread at a sandwich shop...Playwright Bess Wohl begins with a good idea -- and a fun first scene involving a job interview. But her script is all over the place. The tone and focus keep shifting as we follow a trio with big troubles and no solutions in sight...The cast is good and the show makes for a fast-moving 90 minutes. There are lots of ideas raised, including ones about economic reality, desperation, dehumanization and corporate craziness. But writer Wohl can't wrap it all up.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - In his first full month as a candidate for mayor of Jacksonville, Lenny Curry and a political action committee supporting him have raised a total of $568,730, according to campaign finance reports filed this week.
The former chairman of the Republican Party of Florida hit the ground running in his race to be Jacksonville's chief executive, with $160,630 donated to his campaign and $408,100 contributed to the Together for a Greater Jacksonville Committee.
Incumbent Mayor Alvin Brown has $1.3 million in his campaign account, but only $108,000 was raised in June.
The third prominent candidate in the race, Republican City Councilman Bill Bishop, has raised a total of $40,000.
"I am very happy grateful and I am also humbled," Curry said Wednesday of the fundraising total. "We came out in June deciding we would measure the campaign success out of the box by the ability to build a grassroots team and to attract the financial support we need to win, and June has us off to a great start on both of those fronts."
Among Curry's contributors are some recognizable names: former Gov. Jeb Bush, former Jaguars owner Wayne Weaver, and leading Republican fundraisers Peter Rummell and Tom Petway.
CAMPAIGN FINANCE REPORTS FOR JUNE: Lenny Curry | Together for a Greater Jacksonville
"It is not surprising," Brown's campaign spokesman Dave Beattle said of the big dollars Curry raised in his first month. "Lenny Curry, he has been a prominent fundraisers in politics, so he has the connections to raise a certain amount of money.
Beattle said the mayor's focus is on running the city, not raising money for his reelection campaign.
Rick Mullaney, a former city attorney who ran for mayor in 2011 and now works at the Jacksonville University Public Policy Institute, calls Curry's first month of fundraising, "a stunning number."
"Nine months out of an election one of your top priorities is raising money," said Mullaney. "I think it's especially important for Lenny Curry because he has to get name recognition. Mayor Brown already has name recognition."
Mullaney said this will be an interesting race to watch because it will be the first time since 1991 that an incumbent Jacksonville mayor will face a serious challenge.

Improving End of Life Care
Monday 15 September 2014
Hallam Conference Centre, London
This event has now past, but there may well be news on the event including presentations and quotes from the day at our News pages here, a full list of our forthcoming events is available here.
New Priorities for Care launched as the new basis for caring for someone at the end of their life.
A new approach to caring for dying people based on the needs and wishes of the person and those close to them has been launched and welcomed by Care and Support Minister Norman Lamb.
It takes the form of five new Priorities for Care which succeed the Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP) as the new basis for caring for someone at the end of their life. The new approach focusses on giving compassionate care and is a move away from previous processes and protocols. It recognises that in many cases, enabling the individual to plan for death should start well before a person reaches the end of their life and should be an integral part of personalised and proactive care. New approach to care for the dying published 26.06.2014 click here for full details
Through expert sessions and practical case studies, this important and timely conference will focus on implementing the new priority areas, outcomes and guiding principles for care at the end of life.

Indians slam Jays bullpen with loss
Indians slam Jays bullpen with loss
For the second straight night, the Indians third baseman was at the plate with the bases loaded in the eighth inning of a tight game against the Blue Jays. Marte was again facing a hard-throwing Toronto reliever, and, just like he did on Monday, Marte swung at the first pitch.
The only difference in the two evenings was the result. Marte hit his first career grand slam, a 411-foot blast to center, to lead Cleveland to a 7-2 win over Toronto.
It was a bit of redemption for Marte, who popped out to second with the bases loaded in the eighth inning of Monday's 4-3 loss to the Jays. Marte said he regretted swinging at the first pitch against Jays closer B.J. Ryan, whom he had never faced, but he said he had batted against Tuesday's reliever, Jeremy Accardo, during Spring Training.
Clearly, the prior knowledge paid off.
"I was looking for the fastball," Marte said. "I saw the hitter before me, he was trying ... the straight fastball, and I was ready for it. I was just trying to hit the ball hard somewhere and put it in play."
Indians manager Eric Wedge was proud of how his rookie third baseman didn't let the previous night's disappointment affect him, and Wedge wasn't even upset over the fact that Marte -- again -- swung at the first pitch.
"It's a different game," Wedge said. "He's a very intelligent player. He's very aware of what he's doing out there and you saw a big difference from night to night. He hit a ball about as well as you can hit it -- squared it up and drilled it to center field. It was great for him and it was huge for us."
Marte's homer highlighted a bat-around inning for the Tribe that saw 11 Cleveland hitters combine for five hits against Accardo (1-1) and Brian Tallet. First baseman Ryan Garko got things going with a double to the right-field corner, and pinch-runner Franklin Gutierrez later scored after an infield single from Shin-Soo Choo and an RBI fielder's choice from designated hitter Casey Blake. Gutierrez's run tied the game, 2-2, and two batters later, Marte went deep.
"A lot of good things happened in that inning," Wedge said. "You look at Garko and his hustle, driving the ball the other way. Then you look at Choo's hustle at first. And Gutierrez, the way he got home on that ball that jammed Casey. It was a great read, great hustle and an even better slide. So, a lot of good things happened before Andy got into that ball."
The inning was an explosion for the Indians (66-71), who had managed only five hits in the previous seven innings against Toronto ace Roy Halladay. Before the eighth, the game was a pitchers' duel between Halladay and Cleveland starter Jeremy Sowers.
In the end, it was the Tribe rookie who came out on top against the former Cy Young Award winner. Sowers held Toronto (72-67) to two runs on five hits in seven innings to extend his undefeated streak to nine starts. Over that span, Sowers (7-3) has a 1.93 ERA, seven quality starts, and a perfect 6-0 record. His 2.39 ERA since the All-Star break is the lowest of any pitcher in the American League with over 50 innings pitched.
Sowers said he was happy with his performance, but was quick to give credit to his teammates.
"These guys around me, they're picking me up," Sowers said. "I've left the ballgame a couple of times down, and they've either tied it or gotten the lead to help me out. It's awesome to see your team pick you up after you give up a couple of runs.
"Marte needed that hit a lot, I think, to get some confidence going. He saw the first pitch and crushed it. I don't think you can hit that ball any better."
In fact, Marte is apparently confident enough that he has his eye on teammate Travis Hafner's Major League record-tying mark of six grand slams this season.
"What can I say," he said with a laugh. "I'm trying to follow Hafner. He's the man."
What a difference a day makes.

She was speaking at a conference on the future of cancer care at the University of Stirling.
The university's Cancer Care Research Centre conducted a three-year study into patient experience of the disease.
Researchers found inconsistencies Scotland-wide with regard to the care and services offered to some patients.
The study also uncovered instances where patients were given their cancer diagnosis over the telephone.
Ms Sturgeon said the findings of the study emphasised the importance of patient experience in determining future health policy.
She said: "This study really brings it home to us that people with cancer want to be much more involved in decisions about their own care and that means as a government, as a health secretary, when we're devising policy, we have to do it with that in mind.
"And we have to make sure that clinicians and the health service in general are much more responsive to what they want.
"That's a big challenge, it involves changing cultural attitudes but it's extremely important as more people live longer with cancer."
Since 2003, the centre has conducted nine linked studies into how people think about and experience cancer.
Better understanding
Among its key findings, researchers discovered that people still view cancer as the most frightening illness and associate it with death.
They also found that people in Scotland had a limited awareness of the signs and symptoms of cancer.
Director of the centre, Professor Nora Kearney, said she hoped the conference would provide better understanding.
She said: "Through bringing together patients, carers, health professionals and policy makers, we provide an opportunity for everyone to better understand the importance of listening to and learning from people affected by cancer.
"Our research centre aims to ensure that the experiences of people affected by cancer can and do drive improvements in cancer services across NHS Scotland."

Sci-artist Laura Splan created these nifty pillowy pills.Link
"Prozac, Thorazine, Zoloft is a group of large pillows crafted out of hand latch-hooked rugs, which have been sewn together and stuffed. These soft, oversized anti-psychotics and anti-depressants provide a different kind of comfort than their prescription counterparts. The time consuming nature of the latch-hook process provides a sufficiently mind-numbing effect. Latch hooking is a simple but tedious craft that has traditionally been used to depict idealized and romanticized images from domesticity and nature."

"We've listened to customer feedback and created a new bacon jerky that is different than our other bacon jerky. We purposely designed this product to have less fat and drier mouth feel than our other bacon jerky," said CEO "Boss Hog" Rocco Loosbrock. "We start with a leaner cut of bacon that wouldn't be desirable cooked up in your frying pan, but that makes an ideal jerky. We cook it longer at a lower temperature and use rotating ovens to eliminate fat dripping onto the product as it dries. The result is a bacon jerky that strikes the ideal balance between lean and fat. Also, our innovative packaging process uses wax paper and decadent packs to absorb any extra fat. With just one bite, you'll be in hog heaven!"
Bacon Freak is known for its huge selection of over 35 different varieties of gourmet, thick-cut, hand-rubbed bacon. Known as "the only bacon you can fry naked," when you cook a pound of Bacon Freak bacon, you get a pound of bacon! Bacon Freak originated the phrase Bacon Is Meat Candy, and lucky recipients of their "Bacon of the Month Club" receive a T-shirt bearing this slogan that has become a common phrase in the bacon vernacular.
Their products have been featured in People, Maxim, Sports Illustrated, the Wall Street Journal, Comfort Food, 805 Living, Glamour, and Inc. Magazines. They've also been featured on numerous TV shows including Destination America's United States of Bacon and the Travel Channel's Food Paradise.

Cranberries 5 Waysby Toby Amidor in Uncategorized, November 2, 2009
It wouldn't be fall without cranberries. At only 46 calories a cup, fresh berries add guilt-free sweetness to mains, sides, desserts and more. Plus, they're an excellent source of vitamin C and fiber. Of course, classic cranberry sauce is on our list, but you'll be pleasantly surprised with our other healthy finds.
Cranberry Sauce
Cranberry sauce isn't just for turkey — leftover sauce makes a delicious spread for a chicken or pork sandwiches. Try making yours with fresher, less-processed and better-quality ingredients.
RECIPE: Tart Cranberry Dipping Sauce
Cranberry Turnovers
These red jewels are yummy baked in cakes, cookies, muffins or turnovers. Add blueberries, apples, oranges, pecans or walnuts to balance their tartness. This turnover features dried cranberries, which are sweeter — a small amount goes a long way.
RECIPE: Apple-Cranberry Phyllo Turnovers
Broccoli on the Side
Dried cranberries also liven up the slightly bitter flavor of green veggies such as Brussels sprouts, collard greens or broccoli (my fave!). You'll get plenty of vitamin C between the cranberries and leafy greens as well as potassium, iron and beta-carotene.
RECIPE: Garlic Spiked Broccoli with Cranberries
Cranberry Conserve
Simmer up a mixture of fruits for a delightful dessert and serve it warm or cold. This works with a scoop of ice cream or alongside angel food cake. The vinegar helps keep the mix extra acidic, so you can keep it in the fridge for up to two weeks.
RECIPE: Emeril's Cranberry Conserve (stick to half-cup servings)
Pork Chops
This recipe calls for a spicy orange glaze but you could easily sub in some homemade cranberry sauce, made with a touch of honey and cranberry juice. Or for a change of pace, substitute turkey or chicken. Quick tip: Place the berries in a food processor and pulse several times to coarsely chop them.
RECIPE: Chipotle Orange-Glazed Pork Chops

The BBC messageboards were besieged by angry viewers after Saturday night's launch show, which drew a million fewer viewers than last year's opener. Not only is Miss Widdecombe almost two feet shorter than her partner, but bookmakers predict she will make an early exit.
Some viewers suggested that du Beke was being "punished" for last year's race row, in which he described his then partner Laila Rouass as looking "like a Paki" on account of her fake tan. He was forced to make a public apology.
"What have you got against the lovely Anton? He doesn't stand a chance!" read one typical comment aimed at the producers.
"Strictly should be ashamed of themselves. First they get rid of Arlene because of her age and it now looks like they're trying to get rid of Anton. Perhaps a campaign is needed to get Anton a decent partner," said another.
"What are they trying to do to Anton? Is it because he has been successful on other prime time Saturday night shows on the BBC and they don't like it? He is one of the best dancers there and one of the very few remaining from the original series."
And another viewer said: "I am angry with Strictly. Why does Anton never get even a chance of winning? Ann Widdecombe is about two feet smaller than him, what's that all about? I normally vote for him no matter what but not this year, he will be losing my vote as a protest. It's ridiculous."
Miss Widdecombe herself is delighted with the pairing. "I did say when I signed up, 'I hope I dance with Anton'. When I discovered that there was a height difference, I wasn't sure that it would happen. But I'm so excited to have Anton."
All the couples will spend the next three weeks in training before the competition starts in earnest on October 1. Miss Widdecombe will not be embarking upon a dancer's diet as part of her preparation. She said: "We are going to have a lovely time. We are going to train in Devon and have as many cream teas as we can manage."
The launch show drew an average audience of 7.1 million, down from 8.4 million for the 2009 launch. ITV's Saturday night rival, The X Factor, pulled in 10.8 million but BBC bosses are at pains to stress that the shows are not going head-to-head for viewers.
Mark Linsey, the BBC's controller of entertainment commissioning, said; "Our brand new launch show has given us a great start. We're very pleased with Strictly's viewing figures."
Responding to the criticism, a BBC spokesman said: "In order to make the best show possible, lots of things are taken into consideration when partnering a celebrity with their professional dance partner. Anton is a very experienced dancer who has been with us since the beginning. He is a great teacher and perfect for Ann."

|From: Matthias Felleisen (matthias at ccs.neu.edu)
Date: Tue Feb 24 21:36:30 EST 2009
Dear James, speaking of learning: consider implementing Ruby as a macro in PLT Scheme next. I bet that you'd learn a lot. And while I am writing an email to you: Olin Shivers is on the record saying that "you can write a Scheme interpreter in an afternoon, but you may spend a life-time maintaining it." What he really meant is that writing an interpreter for Scheme is really a trivial task. If you know EOPL or PLAI you design the interpreter and derive the abstract machine for your favorite language during the day time and you will write the run-time library during night time (assuming the language is GCed). But then people will start using your silly little interpreter, and before you know it, you have a bug database and you want to please those people and ... life's up. Got to go. So do contemplate implementing X in Y where *nobody* has done the ground work before. -- Matthias On Feb 24, 2009, at 8:15 PM, hendrik at topoi.pooq.com wrote: > On Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 12:20:53AM +0000, James Coglan wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> Just a quick announcement that I've just released the first alpha >> version of >> Heist, a Scheme interpreter in Ruby.

Coconut Brittle Cake Topping
Recipe by grandma2969
absolutely delicious!!you can use either regular or cocoa rice krispies
Top Review by fluffernutter
I was pretty excited about this topping for a zucchini cake, but it gave me trouble. First, the mixture was very thin. Also I think my oven isn't suited to this type of food. It's heated by a flame broiler underneath that is very close to the food. Broiled 3 minutes at 300 degrees and the liquid part had run off the cake but nothing else had happened. Left it 7 more minutes, and it was slightly charred but still had not developed a brittle texture I was looking for. I may fiddle with the proportions and leave out the cream or just use one spoonful.

Laid off from work, Brian Kirk decided last year to start his own business.
He has a degree in electronics. His wife, Marinella Di Benedetto-Kirk, is addicted to her BlackBerry. One day while researching franchises, they learned about a chain of stores called CPR, or Cell Phone Repair.
The 10-year-old brand started in Orlando and grew nationwide, but there were none in the Tampa Bay area.
"It sounded like a good opportunity, so we said let's give it a shot," said Brian Kirk, 41.
In July, the Kirks opened CPR Tampa Bay on Preserve Walk Lane in New Tampa. The store fixes all makes and models of cell phones, as well as mp3 players and video gaming systems.
Like other business owners in the area, the Kirks are taking advantage of a robust cell phone repair market that has grown with the popularity of smartphones too expensive to replace easily. Common cell phone fixes have a price tag between $50 and $150, store owners said. By contrast, buying a new smartphone can cost upwards of $600.
That's where repair shops come in like the Kirks', uBreakiFix in Carrollwood, the iHospital in South Tampa and iFixandRepair in Brandon.
Some say the trend is mirroring what happened to the auto industry over the last century. When automobile manufacturing increased and more people bought cars, repair shops flourished, too.
The most common request the Kirks receive at CPR is to repair water damaged phones. One woman came to the store after she dropped her iPhone 4 in a lake, Kirk said.CPR fixed the phone, but about a week later the woman returned. She had dropped it again — this time in a pool.
• • •
Owners of the Cell Specialists on E Fletcher Avenue say they were ahead of the curve. Back when the store opened 11 years ago, most clients were businessmen who needed help retrieving data stored on brick-like mobile phones.
Over the years, cell phones got smaller and cheaper and some questioned whether a repair shop that only fixes mobile phones was necessary. Sam Marcos, who co-owns the shop with Waled Ismeal, predicted the phones would eventually morph into minicomputers that people couldn't live without.
"We were telling everybody, just hold on a few years and you will see," Marcos said.
Located in a strip mall, one side of the shop is a retail area where customers drop off phones and browse a large selection of accessories. On the other side, technicians work at stations lined with microscopes, a variety of battery chargers, and tiny work tools.
On Saturday afternoons, Marcos said, the retail side is standing-room only.
"The busiest stores in town are cell phone repair shops right now," he said.
Many of the newest repair shops in the Tampa Bay area are part of larger chains. The owners of iFixandRepair once operated independent AT&T wireless stores across Florida.
"We sold all 45 locations and kind of changed gears into the service and repair business," regional manager Jason Donahey said.
The iFixandRepair chain launched only a year ago but has already grown to about a dozen stores. The company fixes all makes and models of personal electronics and is mostly found in malls.
In addition to a store inside Westfield Brandon, the chain also has a location at Tyrone Square Mall in St. Petersburg and was expected to open a store in Westfield Citrus Park this weekend, Donahey said. An International Plaza location is also in the pipeline.
As the industry flourishes, the Better Business Bureau advises mobile phone owners to do their homework before choosing a repair shop.
They should first check their manufacturer's warranty to see if the repairs are already covered before paying out of pocket, according to Karen Nalven, president of the Better Business Bureau of West Florida.
If not, they should verify the repair shop is reputable, get quotes in writing and look for companies that guarantee their repair work.
"Many complaints received by the BBB indicate consumers pay for repairs and end up with a phone that still does not work or the phone is never to be seen again," Nalven said.
That might be less likely to happen at the iHospital in South Tampa where employees wear scrubs and repair labs have "operating room windows" that allow customers to monitor the work. That puts phone owners at ease to know they can see exactly what is being done to their pricey gadgets, owner Ross Newman said.
"It's not disappearing into the back room," he said.
Newman said he set out to reinvent the cell phone repair shop experience when he opened the shop in January 2010. Now there are five stores, including one by the University of South Florida, and two more in Tennessee are on the way.
The iHospital stores service only Apple devices, and medical references don't stop at the name or the "operating rooms."
When a technician successfully completes training, Newman gives them the title DiD, or "doctor of i-devices."
The young entrepreneur, who turns 27 on Saturday, says he has been a business owner since launching a wholesale jewelry company at age 14. Over the years, he said he developed software for Apple and later fixed iPhones and iPods for friends.
Newman tried to go the college route. But after taking a class during one semester at the University of Florida, he called it quits and went back into business for himself.

On Tuesday, Oct. 2, a small group of individuals summitted Science Hill, despite light rain and sub-60-degree weather, seeking an answer to one of the most pressing questions of our time: will the world end on Dec. 21, 2012? According to popular belief (and a less popular John Cusak movie) the ancient Maya predicted this date would mark the end of the world. With the hope that the impending apocalypse would render studying for my biology midterm pointless, I found myself in the Leitner Family Observatory to hear Dr. Michael Faison, director of the observatory and lecturer of astronomy, give a talk titled "Mayan Astronomy and the End of the World."
Despite the headlines on my Yahoo homepage (among other similarly well-respected news sources), the world will probably not be coming to an end this December, Dr. Faison assured the event's attendees. He went on to point out that the answer to headlines ending in question marks is almost always no. In fact, the Maya never made any predictions as to when the world will end. The only significance of this date to the Maya is that it falls exactly 1,300,000 days—or 13 Baktuns, a Mayan unit of time — after day zero in the Mayan Long Count calendar. If anything, this would be a particularly good day in the mind of an ancient Mayan, as the number 13 was considered sacred. A recently excavated Mayan calendar includes dates far beyond Dec. 21, 2012.
Since the world probably won't end in December, what are you to do with the rest of your potentially long life? If you want to spend it learning about our galaxy, cultural astronomy, and astrobiology (yes, that's aliens), you can check out the Leitner Family Observatory, open to the public on Tuesday nights for talks, planetarium shows, and star observation.
Then again, Dr. Faison did add that there is a one in 1,000,000 chance that an earth-destroying asteroid will hit Earth on Dec. 21. So just in case, I recommend forgoing all midterm studying, and focusing on more appropriate last-three-months-to-live activities.

Venus and Jupiter are Alright Tonight
Below it, two very bright stars. Well, they might look like stars, but I remembered my nightly drive home from work when Ed and I lived just outside the DC Beltway. Many a night, I'd be listening to Stardate on NPR and driving through the USDA Agricultural Studies facility in Beltsville.
It was probably the best place to be in the DC metro area if you wanted to stargaze. I remembered December broadcasts of years ago. Sandy Wood said the two bright bodies weren't stars at all, rather, they were Venus and Jupiter. (Sorry Bob, I had the song in my head, thinking Venus and Mars)
Yes, I'm an astronomy junkie. I can't name many of those constellations, maybe a dozen. But I can always find you Orion-even when standing in a city with way too much light polluting the atmosphere. The enjoyment of viewing the night sky started with all those planetarium trips, but the four years living on top of a mountain sealed the deal for me.
Three miles out of a one horse town, 30 miles from the county seat (then not so big, now a little bigger), 100 miles from either DC or Baltimore, over 100 miles from Pittsburgh, you can see A LOT of stars at night. You can even see that haze of the Milky Way. In the spring and fall, you might have found me out in the yard on a blanket or in the hammock, staring up at that sky. It was so...pretty.
Do me a favor tonight, please? Go take a look at the moon and two of those other rocks that orbit the sun. It's a pretty sight.
5 People talked back:
- ligirl said...
I saw that!!! That crescent moon and those two bright bodies...I figured they HAD to be planets, but I wasn't certain which ones. BTW...has anyone seen those tools that got away? (Tee hee)
- songbird's crazy world said...
I love stargazing.
Suzanne, you may be a bit jealous when I tell you -- High School East has a real planetarium, and all the kids in the elementary schools go to the high school on a regular basis to use the planetarium. I spent many hours stargazing in there when I was growing up, and so did my daughters. I can identify the Big dipper, the Little Dipper and Orion's Belt, and if you tell me to look for a specific star or planet at a specific time and location, I can probably find it.
- Joyce-Anne said...
Just so you know, there's another astromoner in the waiting, Nicole. She's always looking up at the stars and frequently commenting on which phase of the moon we're in. She noticed the planets and moon last night too. :)
Off to take care of the laundry...
- Suzanne said...
Donna, Do you think that's what they based the flag on? It would figure that it would be the December sky.
SB, I had no idea they had one. I loved going out to the Vanderbilt every once in a while.
When I go back to school, if I need another science, it will be Astronomy. Proof I'm the weird one in the family-I love dirt and stars.
- Joe said...
B man and the rest of your favorite guys in the "WB" NY checked them out last night. It was too cloudy to see the Sagitarius constellation,maybe tonight.

What a cutie! Kourtney Kardashian held her son Mason, 4 months, close as she headed to a friend's house in Beverly Hills on Wednesday (April 21). Mason looked so cute in his jeans and black and white socks, while Kourtney looked fab in her all-black outfit.
The 31-year-old new mom recently revealed some of her weight loss secrets:
I was eating a lot of dried fruit, and I didn't realize how much sugar that added. And now I'll eat raw almonds instead of salted ones." She added, "I've been eating salads and salmon and chicken. Fresh food is so much better."

Inside, the XC60 is has a very appealing design, taking design attributes from other Volvos, like the 'floating' center stack with storage behind, and meshing it with an updated version of the smooth but more upright dash in the XC90—with the center stack slightly angled toward the driver. The wood (Nordic Light Oak) or metallic-finished center stack (surfaces with curves that remind us of Scandinavian furniture) verges into the gauge cluster hood, and all sorts of pleasing colors and textures—including contrasting two-tone seats—fill out the cabin.
Overall, the XC60 is a handsome machine. It has an exterior that's organic and rakish from some angles, just like the S60 sedan that was designed by the same team, while it's a little more reined-in and formal. Particularly from the side, where some crossovers in this class either look like squat station wagons on stilts, or slightly elongated faux-rugged utes, the XC60 design is smooth and cohesive, with shoulders that flow nearly from headlamps to taillights. The large "ironmark" badge and big grille complete the slightly more athletic look.

Visual Studio .NET 2003
The Active Template Library (ATL) is a set of template-based C++ classes that let you create small, fast Component Object Model (COM) objects. It has special support for key COM features, including stock implementations, dual interfaces, standard COM enumerator interfaces, connection points, tear-off interfaces, and ActiveX controls.
If you do a lot of ATL programming, you will want to learn more about attributes, a new feature in Visual C++ .NET that is designed to simplify COM programming. For more information, see Attributed Programming.

(This is a guest post by Ben @ Ready For Zero)
Sometimes doing "the right thing" can be really hard, especially when it comes to your finances. The human brain isn't always set up in a way that rewards long-term planning. In fact, it's often the opposite: our primal instincts tell us to go for instant gratification, consequences be damned.
One only needs to take a stroll around the mall to see just how sophisticated companies are at playing to our psychological weaknesses and just how effective those appeals are.
So how can we shift our mindset to favor the long-term goals and encourage ourselves to do "the right thing"? By putting constraints on our own behavior. What do I mean by that? I mean that you need to put pressure on yourself by limiting or constraining your choices in some way. This is not altogether different than how Steve Jobs used to put constraints on his teams at Apple in order to produce a desired outcome.
Here are some ways you can use constraints to shape your behavior:
Freeze your credit cards
You might think it's crazy, but this actually works. If you have a problem with spending too much and the credit card is the main culprit, what you can do is fill up a paper or plastic cup with water, then drop your credit card in it and put it in the freezer. The reason this works is it places a constraint on your behavior – in this case, a physical constraint that makes it more arduous to spend money you don't have.
If you were to get tempted to buy something, you would have to go to the freezer, take out the frozen block of ice covering your credit card, and wait for it to thaw or attempt to break it apart – which would be time consuming and/or messy. Instead, you would likely have time to 'cool off' and realize that the purchase you wanted to make was not necessary, therefore helping you reach your goal of spending less!
Deposit to savings automatically
Let's say your goal is to start saving money for an emergency fund, a retirement fund, or a down payment for a house. Whatever your goal is, it can be hard to have the perseverance to make substantial deposits into savings every month. Why? Because most people wait until the end of the month to make their deposits and that leaves open the possibility of the money getting spent during the month.
Instead, you should set up a direct deposit from your paycheck to your savings/retirement account. That way, the money goes in automatically and constrains your behavior for the rest of the month (instead of vice versa). You won't be able to spend the money because it will already be gone and safely tucked away where it is supposed to be.
Tell everyone you will get out of debt
Another way to constrain yourself is to make your commitments public. If you tell your friends and family that you are going to pay off your debt (or save up $15,000, or run a marathon) you will feel a much greater need to achieve the goal. That's because, when your goal only exists in your own head, it is too easy to justify reasons why you're not getting there and back down from your plan. "Oh, I would have paid that extra student loan payment, but I had to attend that concert this month," you tell yourself. Once your loved ones are on board, you won't be able to get away with easy excuses like that. And that's a good thing!
Create very specific deadlines
Similarly, you should also set up deadlines to constrain yourself. In other words, "I will get out of debt" can be improved to "I will get out of debt in 2013." By adding a deadline you are putting that time constraint on yourself that will motivate you to take the necessary steps to achieve your goal. Once you believe that you only have 11 months to get out of debt, there will be more urgency and you will focus on taking action.
In combination with the tricks above, this can make your willpower quite strong. If you have put your credit card in ice (constraining your spending), committed yourself to paying off all debt in 2013 (constraining your timeline), and told all of your friends and family about this goal (constraining your ability to easily back out) then there's a very good chance you will have a laser focus on your goal – and probably achieve it!
These are some of the most powerful tips we share with our readers when we explain how to get out of debt. We hope that you will benefit from them! Let us know in the comments if you have tried any of these tricks before!

Mediterranean Melt
When using focaccia to make this rustic grilled-cheese sandwich, try grilling the entire sandwich in a hot skillet over medium-high heat until both sides are golden brown.
- Yield: Makes 4 sandwiches
Source: Martha Stewart Living, January 2001
- 3 lemons
- 8 baby artichokes
- 1/2 cup oil-cured black olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley, leaves, roughly chopped
- 4 ripe plum tomatoes, sliced 3/4 inch thick
- 4 rustic-style rolls, or Focaccia, cut in quarters
- 1/2 pound Taleggio or fontina cheese, sliced 1/4 inch thick
Slice 2 lemons in half, and squeeze juice into a bowl of cold water. Add lemon halves to bowl.
Trim tips and outer leaves from artichokes; slice thinly, lengthwise; submerge in the lemon water. Combine olives with 1 tablespoon oil in a small bowl, and set aside.
Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium heat; add garlic. Saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pat artichokes dry; add to skillet. Saute until golden, about 5 minutes. Squeeze juice of remaining lemon over artichokes; season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and add 1/2 cup chopped parsley; toss. Transfer to a small bowl; cover with foil.
Return skillet to heat; add remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil. Arrange tomatoes in skillet. Season with salt and pepper; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup parsley. Cook until golden around edges, about 5 minutes. Turn over, and saute 1 to 2 minutes more.
Slice rolls or focaccia open; scoop out bottom, creating a cavity for the filling; spread with olive mixture. Mound the artichoke mixture over olives. Arrange tomatoes over the artichokes. Arrange cheese over tomatoes. Place sandwich halves and the tops, crumb side up, on baking sheet; broil until cheese melts and bread is golden, about 2 minutes. Close sandwiches. Serve.

I got this watch from my father when I was little, he kept save it for many years and gave it back to me recently, he must have it save for more than 30+ years.
I have been wondering the origin of its design. The Mickey Mouse seems drew by hand, what amazed me is the type of clothing that seems like the 30's era, it has a red dos, the Mickey is holding a flower in had, and using a cane.
I am not sure is this watch belongs to the "hippie" Mickey design, or what. Would love to hear if someone knows about this watch design,
Thank you!

REDDITCH Council is now flying a fabulous flag at the town hall thanks to a generous local business.
When Simon Thomas, MD at Thomas Brothers Funeral Directors, spotted that the council's Union Flag was looking a tad tired and tatty, he decided his company would fund a new one.
He was inspired by the fact it is the 100th year anniversary of World War, his three brothers, Mark, Ben and Ceri are all former Royal Marines, and he wanted Redditch to fly a flag to be proud of.
Mr Thomas said: "I know the council is strapped for cash but I couldn't drive by and see the flag looking tired and shabby, especially in such an important year.
"I run a local business in this town and I am proud to be a part of Redditch so I am more than happy to do my bit to see the borough flourish.
The new flag was hoisted by the Mayor Cllr Pat Witherspoon and Mr Thomas attended was invited to see the donated flag hoisted into the air. Also at the event was Second World War veteran Sid Reynolds from the town's Royal British Legion who celebrates his 90th birthday this week.
Cllr Witherspoon said: "The council is very proud of its armed forces, past and present, and this is a very generous gesture which will see us mark this important year in style."

With the much needed help of coal berner, he got my 1st coal fire in the Gibraltar LCC going the other morning. My 1st two attempts of the fire tended to fill up the room with smoke. Once he had it going, the basement was a nice 85 and the upstairs was a very warm 80. I really enjoyed watching the "blue ladies" dance in the stove and could not believe how much nicer the coal heater was compared to the P.O.S. gas unit we had in the past. I guess the old saying of once you go black (coal), you never go back. lol
Again, a big thanks to Coal Berner! His wisdom and knowledge of coal and willingness to help me out is what makes him a great friend.

Boeheim not worried about Syracuse's scattered schedule
Jim Boeheim quickly shrugged off the notion. Syracuse hadn't played since Sunday, but the head coach said his team's sluggishness on the defensive end during the first half against High Point on Friday wasn't a product of the layoff.
"We just didn't play defense," Boeheim said. "I don't have to figure out what the reason is, it's just we didn't play defense aggressively."
The No. 2 Orange picked things up in the second half and eventually cruised to a 75-54 win against the Panthers. But SU (11-0) will once again be tested with a long layoff before it returns to the Carrier Dome to face No. 8 Villanova on Saturday — eight days after the win over HPU (3-7).
Of course, Boeheim batted away any concern that another layoff could yield a similar slow start.
"It was tonight," he said. "That won't have anything to do with Villanova."
Syracuse has played just three games since Dec. 7 and will have played just four games during a 21-day stretch once it finishes up against the Wildcats. The Orange had five days off before facing High Point. It had eight days of rest between games against Binghamton and St. John's, the same amount of time it has to prepare for VU.
Potentially exacerbating the concern is the opportunity for SU players to return home for Christmas. Players have a handful of days off and away from the watchful eye of the coaching staff.
Tyler Ennis will spend time at home with his family — his brother, Dylan, is a guard for Villanova. Trevor Cooney said he'd go back to his old high-school gym to get some shots up. Jerami Grant will take some time off to let his ankle fully heal.
"Being a ballplayer you've got to make sure you're on top of your game," Syracuse forward C.J. Fair said. "Even if it is a few days off, you've got to make sure you're ready to come back, practice and get ready for our next opponent, which is going to be our toughest opponent so far."

Segments Sponsored by
Those of us in the home fragrance industry have watched the category evolve dramatically during the past 15 years. Our business used to be about dried flowers in a bag, and then, for a long time, it was all about wax and wicks. The environmental fragrance business grew to produce big numbers—a $4.5 billion opportunity—without anyone paying much attention.
In the past four to five years, the growth trend has been in liquids: room sprays, oils, plug-ins and passive diffusers—products the consumer can use to scent her home without heat or flame. The incredible growth in the overall segment, particularly in reed diffusers and plug-in diffusers, has been very visible. We are now "air care" and the regulators have taken notice.
When our company got into the reed diffuser business eight and a half years ago, the only other products in the space were a few small European brands that were essentially composed of alcohol and fragrance oil. They were certainly not compliant with current VOC (volatile organic compound) regulations on the books with both CARB (California Air Resources Board) and the EPA. Since there was no real enforcement, products quickly came on the market from all over the world, the majority of them noncompliant. If I'm honest, it was only because our clients were specialty stores that required compliance that we invested resources in research and development to formulate within regulation. It would have been easier and less expensive to just put cheap and effective diffusers out to the market and let the chips fall where they may.
Within the past two years, CARB has become diligent about enforcement of VOC regulations. They are issuing violation notices at a record pace, and fines (not to mention loss of business) can be a steep price to pay. Canada will adopt our current VOC regulations, effective Jan. 1, 2009, and there is talk that the EPA is planning to step up oversight of all states. In addition, the folks at CARB have been debating more stringent regulations that may lower the percentage of allowed VOCs in air care products.
All that being said, how does a company continue to innovate in the face of increasing regulatory oversight?
At Maesa Home, we had to change the way we thought about new product development and figure out a way to lead in this category. We decided to become technical experts in the delivery system, and devoted staff, time and financial resources to learning everything we could about regulatory and product efficiencies. Compliant formulations led the way in all our creative discussions, and we involved CARB and other experts along the way.

SOUTHEND United's in-form centre-back Luke Prosser has been ruled out of tonight's clash with Newport County with a fractured cheekbone and concussion.
Prosser suffered the double blow during Tuesday night's 1-1 draw at Dagenham & Redbridge.
But Blues boss Phil Brown revealed that the defender's spell on the sidelines is likely to be shortened by him wearing a specially made protective mask.
"It's a big blow that we're going to be without Luke for the game with the injuries he suffered in the game with Dagenham but hopefully it will only be the one game he will miss," said Brown.
"We are having a mask made for him that will protect the cheekbone he's injured and will mean he's able to play before that actually gets better.
"It's therefore only the concussion he needs to recover from and hopefully that will only take a week and he will be available to play against Mansfield in our next game."
Prosser's injury leaves Blues with just two fit natural centre-backs for tonight's game with Newport – Adam Thompson and Mark Phillips.
The Shrimpers do have right-back John White available again after he recovered from a dislocated shoulder.
But Brown is also working hard to try and bring another defender to the club before the transfer window closes this evening.
"We're looking at a few options but right now there's nothing definite in place to report on," said the Shrimpers chief.
"I think we have until midday today to bring someone in if they are to play tonight but it's not long until we're also able to bring people in on loan so today isn't really our last chance to bring someone in."
Brown added he would love to bring Rob Kiernan back to the club on loan after the centre-back enjoyed a successful temporary stint with the Shrimpers from Wigan Athletic earlier on in the season.
However, Brown believes that is unlikely to happen.
"It would be great if we could rekindle a deal for Rob but that's dead at the moment so we're looking around to see who else is available," added Brown.
Blues go in to the game sixth in the League Two table, two places and eight points above Newport who also have two games in hand.

Vagrant allows for all kinds of nifty commands, but they need to be run from within a given project in order to work. Also, Aegir-up's architecture can appear complicated to new users. So, in an effort to simplify the interface, I'm proposing adding a number of 'aegir-up' commands.
So far, in lib/scripts, we have:
- aegir-up-init.sh: initialize a project (e.g., projects/my-project).
- aegir-up-user.sh: initialize user settings (i.e., ~/.aegir-up).
- aegir-up-remotes: add Puppet module remotes.
- vp: add an alias to allow provisioning from other than a project's root.
Here are some other ideas:
aegir-up-destroy.shaegir-up-delete.sh: run 'vagrant destroy' on a project, then 'rm -rf projects/my-project'. If we don't destroy the VMs first, it can be a real hassle to clean them up. DONE
- aegir-up-clone.sh: clone a project repo, and then initialize it locally. Sharing project repos can be a bit difficult, since we won't have user settings, may run into subnet collisions, etc.
- aegir-up-rebuild.sh: pull down project changes, and rebuild the project's VMs (basically 'vagrant destroy -f && git pull && vagrant up')
- aegir-up-provision.sh: replace vp (see above), and ensure that we use the vagrant user for provisioning.
- aegir-up-ssh.sh: ssh into any VM in any project from anywhere. Possibly add agent forwarding. DONE
- aegir-up-start.sh: launch, start or resume a VM (in any project, from anywhere).
- aegir-up-pause.sh: suspend one VM or all VMs in a project.
- aegir-up-stop.sh: shutdown one VM or all VMs in a project.
- aegir-up-basebox.sh: automate the building of the Aegir-up baseboxes.
- aegir-up-status.sh: show VM status across all projects.
- aegir-up
.sh: wrapper linked to from the aegir-up root,that passes variables on to the appropriate sub-command (e.g. 'aegir-up init', 'aegir-up ssh my-project', &c.)
- aegir-up-upgrade.sh: manage stable version upgrades.

What will breast implants look like on me? 3D Imaging can show you
Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic plastic surgery procedures performed in the United States. Many patients who seek out this procedure also want to know how they will look once the implants are inserted. Unfortunately, the only way most surgeons can show their patients is by having them look at "before and after" photos of other patients or by having them place implants in a bra and guess which size is best. These methods are not very accurate and provide only minimal reassurance to the patient before committing to undergoe the actual surgery. We now have a more accurate method of simulating what patients may look like with breast implants: before actually having the surgery.
The technology involves recreating a 3D image of a patient's breasts and torso through the use of a specialized camera and computer software. The device is called the Vectra 3D Mirror system. Basically a patient stands in front of a specialized camera with multiple mirrors, a photo is taken, then a 3D image is recreated on the computer in about two to three minutes. Once the image is obtained, the surgeon can move the image of your torso in virtually any direction so you can see yourself from the side, front, from the top or even looking up from your feet. Then you and your surgeon can select breast implants of varying sizes which show you how you may look with the augmentation. You can look at a 300cc implant for example then change it to a 400cc breast implant. The possibilities are practically limitless.
The best part about this technology is that it can actually show you what you may look like with breast implants. You. Not someone else from a before and after book. It's your breasts,your skin, your nipple/areola, etc. The image is often times helpful to the surgeon also as it can illustrate certain asymmetries which may need to be addressed during the surgery.
Finally we can help answer the question: "What will I actually look like after surgery?"
I have been using this system in my practice for almost two years now and the results are very accurate in demonstrating to patients which implants will look the best on them. It really takes a lot of the guesswork out of selecting which breast implant to use. More importantly, patients can visualize how the new implants will look on themselves.
I hope this article is helpful for those considering breast augmentation who have been uncertain about breast implant size.

Active Comparator: 1
Drug: Ketamine
Active Comparator: 2
Drug: Etomidate
Detailed Description:
The national recommendations of sedation concerning the intubation in emergency settings advise the use of a hypnotic, etomidate associated to succinylcholine. A national inquiry showed that more than 80% of prehospital intubations use a rapid sequence intubation as sedation. However, several recent studies throw into question the use of etomidate in this indication. Indeed, etomidate is a powerful inhibitor of the synthesis of cortisol. Adrenocortical hormone insufficiency is clearly associated to an increase in the morbidity-mortality of critically ill patients. Several authors advise therefore against the use of etomidate for such patients. Yet, to date, only indirect arguments associating the use of etomidate with excessive morbidity-mortality exist. A real causality link is not yet established. Another hypnotic that could constitute a therapeutic alternative to the use of etomidate exists: ketamine. The advantage of this molecule is that it does not inhibit the adrenocortical hormone axis.
Objectives: To evaluate sedation using ketamine versus etomidate in term of morbidity-mortality in critically ill patients intubated in the prehospital setting.
Experimental diagram: A prospective, multicentric, randomized, controlled, simple blind trial with independent analysis of the primary outcome.
The expected benefit is a reduction of the morbidity of patients admitted in the intensive care unit having received ketamine for intubation. The risks incurred for patients being suitable to this research are bound essentially to the adverse effects of ketamine. These include some psycho-dyslectic manifestations: nightmare, unpleasant awakening, and disruption of the visual, auditory sensations and mood, a sensation to float and sometimes depersonalization. These adverse effects are warned by a continuous administration of benzodiazepines.

(A/N: Written purely because I wanted to and I wanted to focus a little bit more on the slightly darker side of Goh and Ruri's relationship, that being that she doesn't know he's an assassin. Enjoy.)
Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Goh, Virtua Fighter, the song that I got the inspiration for the title of this story from, or the song lyric I make reference to.
I Never Told You What I Do For A Living
By Space Toaster
Guilt. It was somewhat of a foreign feeling to him. The lack of guilt came with his line of work, after all. If an assassin felt guilt all the time, it would destroy him/her. He was trained by the J6 since he was fairly young, they practically ripped out his guilt and beat it into the floor until it was dead.
So why was he feeling it now?
Goh sighed, lying on his bed and staring at the ceiling. She had left half an hour ago but, to borrow a line from a song, he still tasted her on his lips and smelled her in his clothes. That's the way she was…she just, lingered.
"You should probably tell her. She'll want to know sooner or later." His supposedly long-dead conscience nagged him. But nobody outside J6 knew what he did. He'd been with other women before and they never knew what he did. Then again, they weren't like her.
He heard his door opening and he sat up. After a moment Ruri tiptoed into view holding her camera.
"Oh, hey, you're awake. I forgot my camera on your coffee table, so I just let myself in." She explained, stepping in while he got out of bed, quickly wrapping a sheet around his waist.
"It's all right…"
She smiled, looking up at him, since he was a few inches taller. The corner of his mouth quirked up, possibly the biggest smile he could manage. He absently played with a lock of her hair.
"Are you all right? You seem kind've…removed."
"…Yeah, I'm fine. Just tired." His hand moved to the back of her neck as he leaned down to kiss her. She smiled again when he let her go.
"'Kay, I'll make myself scarce then and let you sleep. Good night."
"Good night." He watched her leave. "…Ruri?"
"Yeah?" She stopped and turned slightly.
"…Nothing, it's not important."

Can anybody tell the listing date of DQ entertainment? I hv applied for 400 ... how much can I expect to be allotted to me?
Grey mkt premium (on the last day of closing) has gone up by 55-60 Rs.... its likely 2 open at more then 125.....
I agree that none can be considered best but u hv 2 choose between them... so go for the one which charges the least, if u r a day trader...
Nobody beats zerodha and rk global in this front...
RKG and zerodha
Right now UNICON SECURITIES is the best brokerage in India like 5 Rs. per order plan. If u interested then call me at 9953202959 (Gourav jaiswal) .
