These guys can play music. When I first heard Sell You Beautiful I couldn't stop playing it. They mix hard rock/metal like Newsstand Rock and Sell you Beautiful and then do slower songs like Dinna-Dawg that are still catchy and have those good guitar riffs. They also have some of the wierdest sounds that make you say "WTF? That's awesome!". If these guys ever play a bad song you probably need to clean out your ears.
Lyrics — 8
Matthew Embree has a neat voice. They're not the best vocal skills I've ever heard, but I think his voice fits perfectly in and makes everything work better somehow. The lyrics are good, inventive. I haven't heard any of them/it's been a while since I've heard anything around the same themes. The only problem is sometimes they say them too much. I don't always care if I hear the same words all the time. I think it's part of music. However, on some songs such as Decrescendo and Mastering the List you hear some lines too often.
Overall Impression — 10
These guys are simply one of the best bands out there. It is definitly worth buying The Resignation. It comes with a dvd of three of their songs (Sell You Beautiful, Progress, and Who Would've Thought: their best song ever imo), some pictures, and an interview with Matt. Prophetic gets my vote as the best song on this album. If I lost this cd, I wouldn't buy it again 'cause I'd already have about 4 backups just in case. Go get this disc, it'll change the way you view music.

Disgusting PSA Tell British People To Clean Up After Their Dogs
Displayed at UK bus stops, this campaign by the Torbay Council warns dog owners to clean up after their animals. Those who don't comply will face a hefty fine. Sure, the ad's message is good but, um, EWWWWWWW! That child appears to be playing in and eating a giant pile of dog poo because, because as the ad claims, "Children will put anything in their mouths." C'mon guys, give kids some credit. They won't put that in their mouths. [BBC]

Bolt action rifle 223, any tips for resizing 5.56 brass?
I have a weatherby 223 and am going to start reloading for it, and was wondering what precautions if any for using 5.56 brass, and resizing it using a 223 die??? Or should I stick with just 223 brass?
No difference. I shoot most of my 223 ammo through an AR and I load on a Dillon press. When I load I dump all brass, military and 223 into a box and start loading. I shoot it the same way. With the brass all mixed up my AR will still hold groups of 3/4 moa without a problem. If your wanting better accuracy it would pay to sort your brass, but 95% of my shooting if off handed at running targets so 3/4 moa is no draw back to me.
2 Attachment(s)
Heres your difference 5.56 on the top .223 on the bottom R1 and R2 radius are different
After you shoot them once in your rifle the 223 and 556 will be the same.
I am using range 5.56 brass, probably shot through an AR. I am reloading for a bolt action rifle that on the barrel says "not to use 5.565".
It's easy: Full length resize the brass and trim to spec. Then you must deal with that military primer crimp. My preferred method of removing the crimp is a cartridge case deburring tool.
Thanks Alsaqr and everybody else for the help :)
Trimming is the main issue. In my experience, the generous chamber dimensions of an AR will let the brass stretch. M-249's more so. Resize in standard .223 die and trim. Good to go.
There is a belief 5.56 brass is thicker resulting in less internal volume. Not necessarily true. Different makers have different thicknesses. Sort by headstamp and develop load for that headstamp.
The reason they say not to use 5.56 NATO ammunitions is that, 5.56 NATO
is loaded hotter or to higher pressures than standard .223 Remington
ammunition per SAAMI specifications you could have a chamber or barrel
failure using 5.56 NATO ammunition.
The brass is effectively identical and can be used interchangeably. It is the
powder charge and resulting pressure that is different.
Awesum, Shade, and Robo, and all the others for helping me. Looks like i am gonna go brass hunting tonight at te local pit, there is always a large amount of everything :)

Getting my first set of hearing aids after about 20-25 years. I am 35 years old. Born Deaf, have a very large Deaf family tree, attended TSD and MSSD as well as some mainstreaming, etc. I'm certainly nervous about getting these hearing aids. A little background...
I went to DARS for interpreting assistance in regards to my employment. They wanted me to get tested for hearing aids and sent me to an ENT. I didn't really want hearing aids but they wanted to see. Soooo I begrudingly went. I had my first audiogram of my adult life. I will cut and paste what was sent to me via email.
My audiologist HIGHLY recommended bilateral Widex SP-440. I went home rolling my eyes. Why would I want to wear machines on my head? I'm perfectly fine the way I am. I read threads on here and scoured the internet looking for information. I got super excited by how this hearing aid has really advanced from when I wore them 20 years ago. My audiologist strongly recommended them.Originally Posted by local audiologist
DARS denied me for hearing aids on the basis that I am too Deaf and hearing aids would provide me with ZERO benefit. I wasn't too disappointed initially. I don't want aids anyway. I did find myself coming to this forum these past couple of weeks. Then... something happened to me... My wife uses the Phonak Vaida V (is that right?) daily. She's always worn hearing aids and I never did. That's just how it went. I got curious and put hers on and heard many many different sounds although some are minimal. I'll tell you what I heard the loudest... my two year old hearing son's voice. I immediately appealed the decision to deny me hearing aids. I quickly won that appeal so... DARS has approved me for the hearing aids.
It's my understanding that I'm getting a powerful and finicky hearing aid. Any advice on how to deal with the transition from hearing nothing for so long -to- disrupting my life by bringing heaps of sound into it? My wife has horrible tinnitus and she blames the hearing aids. I have NO tinnitus of any kind. Never have. I would hate to develop tinnitus for wearing these hearing aids. My wife is a sufferer so I fear tinnitus.
20 years ago, my upper earlobes (where a BTE goes) would get achy and sore after wearing the aids all day. Does this still happen? As light as they were back then... are they any lighter now? I also have the feeling that my audiologist is new to the Widex as she keeps telling me that this technology is NEW for the profound. Any advice there?

Hagins & Mortimer Design, the newly launched venture of acclaimed interior designer Elizabeth Hagins and noted artist, art advisor and collector Richard Mortimer hosted the Hamptons debut of Charleston Plein Air painter Linda Fantuzzo at their recently opened design gallery at 9 Windmill Lane, Southampton, 11968. Scroll down for photos from the event!
A native of South Carolina herself, Ms. Hagins welcomed the artist with true Southern hospitality over the weekend offering a sparkling group of Hamptonites such traditional fare as Mint Juleps, Carolina Cotillion Punch, Bene Wafers with pimento cheese and Madeleines. Among those sampling the Low Country treats were famed interior designer Geoffrey Bradfield and Roric Tobin,artist David Nadal, Patricia & Beau Hulse, Ann Thomas, Robin Schiff, Gary & Katherine Andreassen, Peggy Bousson, realtor Elliot Epstein, Sylvia Hemingway & artist Ron Burkhardt, Rachelle Oatman, Laura & John Wynne., Jan Koen, Elizabeth Brown, Rachel Rodin, Pat Garrity, Chris Luke & Elissa Coughlin, Jin & Michael Seo, Anthony Hoberman, Dana Lyons and Lori Cuisinier.

Her colors reflect the timelessness and light of the Low Country. Her work, much done Plein-air, has won her legions of fans throughout the South. The exhibition is set salon style in the midst of important 20th Century furniture and lighting . Mortimer treated Ms. Fantuzzo to a very special tour of the fabled Artist Colony home to the Plein Air School run by the world famed painter William Merritt Chase in the late 1800s.
Hagins & Mortimer Design celebrates the glorious diversity of 20th century design, spanning the decades from the 1920s to the present. Hagins & Mortimer Design features furniture that runs the style gamut from Art Deco to 1970s Brutalism. The design gallery features luminaries of 20th century design such as T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings, Karl Springer, Paul McCobb, and Grosfeld House, among others. Lighting is another important part of the mix, and Murano glass from Barovier and Toso, Arteluce, Gio Ponti, and Mazzega are also featured as well as the firm's own custom upholstered pieces. Hagins & Mortimer Design offers interior design and art consultations by appointment.
Ms. Fantuzzo's works can be seen Thursday through Monday from 12 to 6 and Sunday, 12 to 5 through September 30, 2014. Hagins & Mortimer Design is located at 9 Windmill Lane, Southampton, NY 11968, 631-488-4310. For more information, visit www.haginsmortimerdesign.com.

When I switch the sound options - Cinema, Spatial and off - I do not hear any difference. Also when I change the Bass and Treble there is no difference. Can anyone advise if these options do make a difference in the sound? Toshiba advised they could not answer that question?? It seems to me that option would not be there if it was not going to do anything. Toshiba told me to call a service tech and if he felt there was nothing wrong - I get to pay the bill. If someone can advise if it does make a difference - then I will call one.
Gee I must be the only person in the world that bought this TV or the only one that tryed the different sound options. I thought I would at least get a "Who Knows" - so much for questions - I hope the support and service for the TV is better then this!

BHP Billiton raised the alarm over the federal government's planned "family friendly" changes to the Fair Work Act last week, and employer groups are continuing the fight this week. Will the changes be bad for business?
Company lawyers say that at least those who regularly change rosters will be tangled in red tape. But employee advocates say BHP is being hysterical given the UK's experience and the benefits of flexibility to productivity.
Last week BHP warned a Senate inquiry the government's intended second tranche of reforms to the Fair Work Act will allow "virtually the whole workforce" to make requests for flexible work and significantly reduce employers' abilities to say no. There are two key changes employer associations are most wary of.
Broadening who can ask for flexible work. The first is the Labor government's move to broaden who can make a claim for flexible work arrangements, from only parents or carers of children under school age to any employee who is a carer, has a disability, is 55 or older, is experiencing domestic violence or supports a domestic violence victim. Employers can still refuse the request on "reasonable" business grounds.
This is the federal government's plan. The number of workers using the right to request provisions is now extremely low, prompting an independent Fair Work Act review panel in 2012 to call for the categories of worker who can access the right to be broadened. However, the
Consultation required. Of greatest concern to company lawyers is the new modern awards objective. The bill includes a term requiring employers to consult employees about any change to their regular roster or ordinary hours of work. Employers must invite the employees to give their views about the impact of the change, including on their family or caring responsibilities.
"In some workplaces where rosters change more often this will be a challenge, imposing significant time and administrative cost burdens," Trew says. Allens partner Simon Dewberry agrees, claiming many employers will struggle to comply with the consulting requirements.
Trew adds: "Because the bill allows for employees to be represented during these consultations, it also creates another point where employers are required to engage with unions."
Peter Wilson, president of the Australian Human Resources Institute, says the requirement has a high resource cost with low potential benefit. "There's no doubt flexibility is a good thing but the world of work is getting on with it and legislation like this doesn't help," he says.
Trew says there is no general right for employees to appeal employer decisions on flexible work externally, but it will not always be a simple matter of refusing requests. There is often a consultation process in workplace enterprise bargaining agreements that employers will need to go through.
Employer scaremongering?
"The changes were modelled on similar amendments made to the UK and other European workplace laws in the early 2000s, which were deemed a success," he says.
According to a 2007 UK government survey cited by the federal Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations in its submission to a parliamentary committee inquiry, 47 per cent of employers in the UK said workplace flexibility has had a positive impact on productivity, 41 per cent reported no impact, and 12 per cent said it harmed productivity. "Employers like BHP Billiton need to wake up, get out of the industrial dark ages and recognise the benefits that laws providing for flexible working arrangements could bring to their workplace and to Australian workplaces generally," Burgio says. As DEEWR points out, academic research suggests that flexible working options in general can boost productivity. The Australian School of Business and Melbourne Business School recently revealed a study finding links between flexibility and customer satisfaction and profits.
Burgio, the Law Institute of Victoria and the ACTU all argue the government's bill does not go far enough, as workers will still have no general right to seek a review where employers unreasonably refuse flexible work.
"As they stand, the provisions risk being nothing more than a toothless tiger," Burgio says.

WILLIAMSPORT, Md. - Angela Grimm was sentenced to four years in prison on two counts of sexual abuse of a minor. The sexual relationship started in 2006 when the victim was only 16-years-old. The relationship ended in 2012.
The Williamsport woman was sentenced Thursday inside Washington County Circuit Court. Prosecuting Attorney Brett Wilson said the case is sensitive because the victim may be the father of one of her children, but it has not been confirmed.
"There is even a possibility that they could have had a child in common during this relationship," said
"Normally social media is utilized by the perpetrator or predator to try and locate a victim and certainly we have a number of cases where that is in fact the way the relationship began," said
Grimm will be registered as a sex offender for the rest of her life.

A MAN who led a "sophisticated" drugs operation which included hiding cocaine in cigarette boxes has been jailed for four-and-a-half years.
Gary Proudlove, of Mold Road, Alltami, was the "ringleader" of a drugs operation in Ellesmere Port from December 1, 2012 to April 20, 2013, Chester Crown Court heard.
Brett Williamson, prosecuting, told the court Proudlove, 29, played a "significant role" in the operation and directed the drugs to street level.
But he managed to distance himself from the daily process of dealing by communicating with street dealers via a "graft" pay-as-you-go mobile phone.
Proudlove would contact street dealers with details of prepared bundles of drugs, worth about £40 each, and deliver them to be dealt on the street.
The prosecution said drugs were often hidden in cigarette boxes for dealers to pick up and sell on during late night deals.
One of the street dealers, Louis Bedwell, 25, of Durham Court, Ellesmere Port, allowed Proudlove to store the cocaine in his mother's home on Maple Avenue, Ellesmere Port.
Proudlove ran the drugs operation alongside John Daly, 28, of Joseph Groome Towers, Ellesmere Port and surveillance taken out between January and April 2013 found both men entering and exiting Bedwell's mother's home address on a number of occasions, for just minutes at a time.
After a raid on the Maple Avenue address on April 19, 2013, 110
wraps of cocaine were seized which had been prepared for street deals with a value of £4,500.
Subsequent raids on Proudlove and Daly's homes found no drugs, which Mr Williamson said was consistent with their roles as ringleaders.
Mr Williamson said the operation was a "process over a period of months" and had "real potential" to distribute large quantities of cocaine on to the street.
John Potter, defending, said Proudlove accepted the significance of his role but was just "a cog in a wheel, not some drug king or a high flying drug baron."
Mr Potter said Proudlove began the operation to pay off a debt and to receive drugs for habitual use.
Yesterday, Proudlove and Daly were both sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison
Bedwell was sentenced to three-and-a-half years for his role as a courier of the cocaine.
Delivering the sentence, Recorder Mukhtar Hussain QC said: "This was clearly a sophisticated operation over a significant period of time. You clearly managed to separate yourselves from the storing and cutting of drugs.
"There is no doubt of the role you played in the operation was of a higher level.
"You were necessary, important and clearly involved."

Self-employed higher rate professional who cannot incorporate under the terms of his contract has heard of an umbrella remuneration trust "to save tax" (his words)
In 2011/12 40% tax band was £23500 chargeable.
Are these suitable for self-employed taxpayers? Particularly those who need this income level to maintain lifestyle?
Has anyone in Practice had any experience of success with any of the various organisations offering these schemes, and are they still considered safe as HMRC tries to attack more and more schemes?
In other words- if it sounds too good to be true........
Please login or register to join the discussion.
Umbrella Remuneration Trusts
As far as I am aware, the principle is that this is a general purpose trust established for a variety of traders and professionals alike.The client might be asked to give some names of suppliers (utility companies etc.) and they would be included as potentially benefitting from the trust. By doing this it is meant to reinforce the commercial purpose of the contribution to the trust and hence its deductibility against profits.
In reality what usually happens is that the client takes out the contribution, net of fees, by way of loan within a short time of making the contribution.
It will not surpise you to learn that HMRC are not too keen on the arrangement and will almost certainly raise an enquiry. I believe these are relatively new and I know there are several firms offering "self employed benefit trusts" or similar. They are usually backed by Counsel's Opinion, so even if the arrangement was successfully challenged, HMRC should not be able to charge penalties.
As to much talked about "morality" of tax avoidance, in my opinion HMRC always want morality, unless the result doesn't suit them.
My advice would be to point out the potential downside to the client, as well as the upside. If they want to go ahead be prepared for a long and tortuous journey with HMRC!...and tell the client not to spend the tax saving until there is absolute certainty that there is no tax to pay.
Wally, I have been using a URT personally for the last 2 years and I also offer these, they have been around for 23 years now, and they are openly disclosed to HMRC and not DOTAS classed,
From my understanding out of 400 that I know of about 8 got HMRC enquiry letters nothing came of them, (I think about 1200 people are known to use these)
Also they are insured so should anything ever get challenged/legal (highly doubtful) worse case you would be in the same position as before entering into a URT. So the risk element is smaller than you think.
HMRC have to be seen to be doing something and try to scare you but their bark is worse than their bite,
My personal view is they are about as bomb proof as you can get, and I am perfectly happy about using them and would not use any other. I pay the exact amount of tax that I owe that is required by law and not a penny more.

To be honest I am fairly supportive of this plan, any advantages Goalkeeper had over Phalanx have been eroded over the years. The ballistic end performance against a missile of the tungsten darts are similar. The advantage of being able to accept off platform data from the ships FCS that Goalkeeper had is mute as later Phalanx blocks can do the same thing. Phalanx had a couple of interesting upgrade paths with the SeaRAM/RIM116 and LaWS. The cost savings through streamlining of logistics and training can't be ignored.
Selling the mounts, spares, logistics equipment and even the ammunition brings good value to the tax payer.

A trio of sites have been earmarked as suitable for a new secondary school to meet spiralling demand in the borough.
The schools would have to be academies or free schools under education rules, which mean Merton Council would not have overall control of them.
The Chaucer Conference Centre in Canterbury Road, Morden, Worsfold House in Church Road, Mitcham and a children's centre in Leyton Road, Colliers Wood have been earmarked to house new secondary schools.
The three have been whittled down from 41 originally named in the Merton Council's Sites and Policies plan.
All of the sites are owned by the council.
Councillor Martin Whelton, cabinet member for education said: "We need to provide more places from 2018 but first we need to fill the existing places.
"This is important for forward planning.
"These three sites could potentially be used; they are already in the council's hands."
Coun Whelton said the Chaucer Centre was a school until the 1980s when it was closed down.
The former school buildings are now used as a conference centre, with ten meeting rooms, catering facilities and car park.
The single storey Leyton Road site is used by Merton Youth Services and Action for Children and is bordered by All Saints Recreation ground to the north and housing to the south and west.
Sites all over Merton had been long-listed in the original proposals but these three have been deemed most suitable by independent inspector Robert Yuille after a hearing in January this year.
The hearing report states the demand for primary places can be met with the expansion of existing premises.
It said: "Latest assessments indicate the need for secondary school places will require both the expansion of existing schools and the provision of new ones."
Any development would require planning permission from the council.

Hollywood has once again played host to a film premiere as on Monday, July 20, Universal Pictures presented the world premiere of the Judd Apatow's latest comedy starring Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen.
Universal Pictures has presented "Funny People" through a world premiere event held Monday, July 20, evening. Making use of the ArcLight Hollywood in Los Angeles, California, the studio rolled out red carpet in front of the theater to welcome Hollywood stars attending the upcoming drama comedy's special screening.
Among the cast ensemble spotted arriving for the premiere were four of the major actors, Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Eric Bana and Leslie Mann. While Leslie dressed to impress and Seth and Eric suited up, leading actor and executive producer Adam walked along the red carpet in casual attire, wearing white T-shirt topped with an unbuttoned baby blue shirt and a pair of jeans.
All four of the actors were joined at the red carpet by other cast members that included Jonah Hill, Aubrey Plaza, Aziz Ansari and RZA. Writer/director/producer Judd Apatow was present for the special occasion as well and so did his and Leslie's two daughters, Iris Apatow and Maude Apatow, who played Leslie's on-screen daughters in the movie.
Actresses Anna Faris, Elizabeth Banks, Toni Collette and Rashida Jones as well as "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest were among the celebrity guests attending. Other stars coming for the premiere included Zachary Levi, Chris Rock, David Spade, Don Johnson, Garry Shandling, Jimmy Kimmel and Patton Oswalt.
"Funny People" centers on George Simmons, a stand up comedian and movie star who finds out that he's been diagnosed with a terminal, in-operable disease. Dealing with the shocking revelation, he then decides to hire an aspiring stand-up comedian, Ira Wright. Before long, he forms a close bond with Wright and learns that his disease has gone into remission. But, an old flame reenters his life, forcing him to reevaluate what is important to him and what truly gives meaning to his life. It is set to hit U.S. theaters next Friday, July 31.

Hi all, I'm trying to locate a substring that I want to be treated just as a string rather than regexpr notation. The used strings are dynamic and there's no control over their content.

Gwyneth Paltrow Will Grace You With Her Stomach Now
After whatever governing body saw fit to grant her a Creative Arts Emmy for her Glee cameo, you know the one Lindsay Lohan tried to sue over, Gwyneth Paltrow decided to grace us, the little people, with a glimpse of her midriff, presumably glistened and moistened ever so softly from fairies she picked in her free-range basil garden then squeezed before drying them out in her closet. They say if you look at the torso of GOOP through a hole made from handmade, organic parchment paper, a silver farthing appears in your pocket making you slightly less poor for one single moment. Afterward, Gwyneth's butler will remove you with a snow plow along with the other riff-raff and eaters of canned cheese.

Priapus holding fruit.
|The subject entreated by this page finds its origin in a most alluring place: Within the moist, fragrant folds of Aphrodite's most sacred interiority. It was there that either Zeus, Hermes, Adonis, or Dionysus deposited the seed which incited the creation of the magnificent Priapos. Whoever the father was, the act of union offended the sensibilities of Hera, who, with a magic touch to Aphrodite's belly, cursed the child growing there in the way most offensive to Aphrodite: she made him ugly. Priapos was born with a huge belly, huge feet, hands, nose, tongue, and a gigantic, continuously erect phallus, so unusual that its head was said to point to the rear. The obscenity of this creature so offended Aphrodite that she cast him out of her realm and abandoned him in the wilderness.
Priapus holding babies.
|There, as we might expect, he was taken in by a herdsman, who found that wherever this incredible creature went, everything grew like crazy: Plants shot up from the ground, and animals hopped upon each other, copulating furiously and giving birth. Priapos soon became known as a fertility god, but this is only a part of his aspect. He also was the tutor of Ares, teaching the young battle god to dance before teaching him to be a warrior. Priapos was said to have tried to rape Hestia and was prevented only by the braying of an ass which woke the goddess in time to avoid this dubious and troublesome fate. He also was said to cure impotence, bring good luck and was particularly adept at warding off the evil-eye.
|This outstanding figure was known to the Greeks as Priapos, to the Romans, Priapus. It is rumored that during the early stages of Christianity, the church had succeeded in getting the pagans to give up worship of all the old gods, save Priapus. No matter what threats or enticements were applied, and the latter reportedly included various claims of the possesion of the genetalia of Jesus, the loyal worshipers of Priapus would not give up reverance for their favorite god. The expression of this unwavering reverance included the baking of bread in the shape of phalli on every available celebratory occasion, including church holidays. Unable to disuade the people from this rather un-Christain practice, the wise church fathers sanctified the loaves, providing each had three crosses carved into its top. Thus was the supposed beginning of hot crossed buns.
Priapus weighing his member.
|The Priapic images presented on this page imagine him with the appearance of a human man with a somewhat exaggerated phallic magnitude. Many descriptions of him present a different image, however. In his erudite translation of Catullus, Jacob Rabinowitz describes the god as a "pot-bellied garden-gnome with an oversize prick-sort of like a teapot." In other places he is described as having all extremities exaggerated: tongue, ears, nose, hands, feet-- and a prick so humongus that it curves backwards over his shoulder. He is also supposed to posses an ass so pronounced that he appears to be "phallic to the rear". These more gnome-like, eccentric images seem to more accurately reflect the character of the god as revealed in the tales of his adventures.
The Romans who inspired the above images may have made the same mistake made by many modern mythologists, forgetting about his more subtle and sometimes humorous traits and becoming possesed only by the enormity of the god's schlong and its unforgiving erectile power. A parallel mistake is often made in imagining him as only a fertility god. His power as a protector of men and his tutoring of Ares are just as prominant in the life of the god as is his member.
Very soon The Ares Press will present a home-made image of the god, one more persuant to the descriptions found in earlier sources. We will also explore some of the god's adventures, his questionable fatherhood, his appearence and participation in modern life, and much more.
As of July 2004, it would seem that Toyota is preparing to market a hybrid sports car called, quite honorably, the Priapus. What a ride. Check it out.

New Hercules Software From Avant! Speeds Chips to Market, Increases Predictability in the Final Stages of Design
Post a comment
Sunnyvale, CA--October 21, 1996--Avant! Corp. (Sunnyvale, CA) announced the availability of Hercules 2.0, the industry's only production-proven hierarchical physical verification system that addresses the special challenges of deep submicron integrated circuit design.
Hercules' new distributed processing capability allows designers to take advantage of multi-CPU or multiple machines on a computer network to reduce runtime by a factor of three or more depending on the computer network configuration. The new "checkpoint and restart" capability allows related verification processes (for example, design rule (DRC) and layout versus schematic (LVS) checks), to share common operations.
Hercules 2.0 has a new programming environment for the industry-standard Scheme language. Device and parameter extraction and comparison can be flexibly controlled to accommodate complex design rules. Designers are also given the flexibility to define and compare user properties for devices using Scheme, making the system ideal for deep submicron designs. Complex design rules can be analyzed with a single operation that otherwise would require a complex set of operations. Hercules 2.0 is optimized for deep submicron manufacturing and electrical rules to reduce CPU runtime, memory requirements, and disk usage.
Hercules 2.0 includes hierarchical DRC, LVS, and Hercules Explorer, an advanced graphical debugging environment used to debug DRC and LVS errors. Hercules provides a single environment for cell-level, block-level, and full-chip verification.
Hercules 2.0 is available immediately on Unix workstations.

More product info
The only drone built for adventure sports
The Airdog is the ultimate autonomous adventure sports drone. What does that mean? It means that it will follow you, tracking your movements perfectly as you hurtle down a mountain or skim across the waves. No need for a pilot or camera operator, no need to carry around a bulky remote, just a super solid reliable GPS based tracking feature that will capture perfect footage all by itself, every time. What's more it's crazy simple to use, with only a single button press required to get it flying and following.
The Airleash is a simple, sturdy remote and locator device that you can strap to your arm or – if you prefer – pop in a pack. It's easy to use even with bulky gloves on, is fully IP67 rated for water sports and even comes with an extension strap so you can wear it over a chunky snow jacket, or if you have biceps like Arnie.
The perfect mode for your radness
Action sports are not all the same. Ripping through the trails in an MTB park is very different to carving backcountry powder or threading a wave off the coast of Cornwall. Airdog has specific modes for different sports – including MTB, Surf, Ski and Wakeboarding – as well as five different follow modes to ensure you get exactly the footage you want, including Fixed Follow, Follow Path, Hover and Aim, Follow Line and Adaptive Follow.
Follow Me with LiDAR and GPS
The last thing you want as you crest a rise and pop an awesome jump is for your drone to smash into the dirt because it didn't realise there was an incline. That's why the Airdog has an advanced LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) system. That's right, it can use lasers to maintain a constant distance from the ground as it follows you. Yes. LASERS. It has lasers. Couple this with an advanced GPS system and you have a device with a better Follow Me function than anything else on the market.
Cunning Battery and Safe Landing
Airdog batteries talk to the drone constantly so there's no danger of an unplanned landing in the waves. It'll warn you when it reaches 30% battery, at which point you can choose whether you'd like it to land at the last known position of the Airleash or return to its original take off point. Of course these options can be set pre take off too.
Advanced Stablisation
There's nothing worse than wonky, wobbly footage that makes you feel like you're stuck in a washing machine when you try to watch it. The Airdog is fitted with a motorised 2-way stabilising gimbal optimised for your GoPro 3/3+ or 4, guaranteeing smooth, stable footage no matter how gnarly the trails or waves get.
Please note: unfortunately, a camera and a UK charging plug are note included with the Airdog and these will have to be purchased seperately.

The Technology of Nonviolence: Social Media and Violence Prevention - Live Webcast
November 13 2012
World Bank headquarters, Washington, D.C., 12:30pm ET (17:30 GMT) or convert time
Hardly a day passes without hearing a newscast or seeing an article about social media and its influence on politics. Many of these stories highlight how people are using social media to overthrow dictators or to track disease outbreaks. How do we harness these new technologies to prevent violence and associated humanitarian disasters? This talk covered the technologies and methodologies currently in use, including crowdsourcing and digital mapping.
Panelist and author Joseph G. Bock has more than 12 years of humanitarian experience. He has worked with organizations dedicated to preventing violence in Asia and the Middle East. He is the author of "The Technology of Nonviolence: Social Media and Violence Prevention" published by MIT Press earlier this year.
MODERATOR: Jim Rosenberg, Head of Online & Social Media, World Bank
AUTHOR: Joseph G. Bock, Director of Graduate Studies, The Eck Institute of Global Health, University of Notre Dame

Roland Karlsson: Surprising and innovative. Impressive result. But ... I see it only as a proof of concept really. The images do not have any interesting content, except the liquid. So - you look - wonder how they made it and then look at something else.
I see what you mean about the larger pictures.
I do sometimes wonder if the guys developing this site are using monitors bough in 1995 - 640 x 480 resolution. Or maybe they think I should only use a smart phone…
What idiot wrote a survey that refuses to let you submit it without every answer filled in? As for many there were things I did not want to answer and things that there was no correct answer for. After inventing stupid responses for five questions I gave up on the sixth refusal.
I wonder who let the intern write the survey and if they will get the sack for not actually checking it?
Peadingle: Not available in the UK? So as a licence payer I pay the BBC to produce this stuff, but am not allowed to watch it!
Barney, I see I've finally got an american to admit to being foreign ;).
But seriously, can you not see why all the Brits are incensed at refused access to British broadcasting company material? Its something we all feel highly connected to, to the extent of americans and your flag. Then to be faced with an utterly meaningless explanation on a f*.k off web page...!!!
And yes I have been to the US (even lived there) and seen the BBC website from abroad. Hopefully you'll get to visit the UK one day and see what it looks like without the ads.
Peadingle: Not available in the UK? So as a licence payer I pay the BBC to produce this stuff, but am not allowed to watch it!
Michael: does the BBC's statement make any sense to you? To me there is no logic to their argument. Those who can access it (foreigners) are not paying to see it. So why can't those those who similarly don't pay for it, but live in the UK, also access it? This they do not address. In the words of the bard- "it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing"
maboule123: Is this a montage?
A friend who visited this place says that the motifs are never seen like so.. The place is so huge to have all those elements reunited on one shot, no matter the angle.
A Byzantine church, then used as a mosque after the fall of Constantinople, it is now neither- its currently a museum.
wfektar: Welcome to see more reviews, and not just of cameras and lenses.
That said: here's a request. Can you go with measured weights and dimensions, rather than what the mfr claims?
For tripods, how about a stability measure. One possibility is to attach a laser pointer to the hot shoe, point it at a target, and find the spread as the tripod or nearby surface is struck with a known force.
Also for tripods, how about a carrying capacity measure? I have no idea how to do this, but as long as it is reasonable and consistent it should be fine. There are too many meaningless numbers bandied around as it is.
Mike- you can overcome variations in head for example by just settling on a single high end head to use. Follow the scientific method, use controls and vary one thing at a time. Repeat your tests and calculate the variation in your results (SE)- this will tell you how well you're doing. Drop into your nearest university and ask any PhD student to help you design the tests and what stats to use.
marike6: The specs claim independent leg spread, but the minimum height is only 19.5" (49.7 cm) not very low to the ground. I guess because it only has two leg positions. Doesn't seem ideal for macro shooters.
Also noticed that quoted price is low, as B&H has it for $319 for each of the ballhead or 3-way head kits. There is a $50 mail in through December (Maybe he meant $250 for just the legs, which is correct).
If I were buying, I probably just get the legset and add a decent ballhead with an Arca Swiss QR.
Nice looking tripod. Have always liked the speed of the their leg locks vs twists. But I think the load capacity may be a bit low vs the weight of the legs.
Its the centre column height plus the height of the head that will make up most of the minimum height.

> I sooooo wanted this to win number one! I believe that it fit the challenge perfectly. I love the light in her eyes and her eyelashes. Also great depth of field. The photographer did a wonderful job.
I always wonder about the 0.5 and 1.0 votes that drag a photo down- I'd love to know if the six of them had photos in the challenge.

Why does the Samsung GALAXY Note II have an 8MP camera and the LG Optimus G sports a 13MP shooter?
0. phoneArena posted on 07 Sep 2012, 19:36
So why doesn't the Samsung GALAXY Note II sport a 13MP camera? Early speculation called for the son of phablet to carry a 13MP shooter on its back although the Korean OEM had to settle for an 8MP camera due to a CMOS shortage at Sony...

Why compare a Note 2 to an Optimus?
Anyone getting the Note 2 is getting it for the screen size.
All you need in a cell phone camera is at least 5MPs & a flash

MPx is just the size of the image. It does not mean quality. People that dont know any better thinks it does.. but it doesnt. The sony cam is supposed to be pretty good image quality wise though. But lackluster software from LG can really screw it up (LG's normally dont take high end photos). Just have to wait and see how they look when the phone is released.

The reason would be because Samsung now has a nice legion of S-Sheep who just mindlessly buy their products and attack anyone who belittles their beloved company and calls them iSheep, regardless of what products they use. I love the smell of their hypocrisy in the mornings.

agreed! welcome to the world of fanboyism~ double standards everywhere!
65. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
when did LG announce the 2gig phone before Samsung? are you saying an official announcement from LG or a "leak" from an "anonymous source". You know the latter does not count as an "announcement" right?
Samsung doesnt hype their products 8 months before they come out. They dont need to. LG does because they are way behind and are looking to build steam. Announcing something first doesnt always mean it was designed first or built first. Heck, I could announce that my company is bringing a quad core A15 with 4 gigs of ram and a 1080p screen today... but what does it matter if you dont see it till Xmas 2013? But, again, if you could find those actual time tables on announcements for me, that would be great.
66. u-suck-more (Posts: 529; Member since: 26 Aug 2011)
oh look the pinnacle of double standards has arrived.
plus u replied to the WRONG comment.
and here is the LG phone with 2GB of RAM, the FIRST phone in the WORLD with 2GB of RAM:http://www.phonearena.com/news
the phone is alr released, but not just worldwide. but thats not e point, the point is, it is ALREADY RELEASED. oh and before you say that it hasnt arrived in the States, the U.S. doesnt represent the world, and it isnt the ''best'' country in the world. i mean just look at the state it is in now.
67. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
the state of the entire world is pretty sad right now. that said the US is doing better than most countries.
if you want to be an ass, be an ass to someone else. I asked you to find the release because I had no idea and didnt feel like validating your point.. that is your job.
But hey, this is a KOREA ONLY phone.. so no, it doesnt count. Also, it came out a whopping few weeks before the SGS3 did, so its not like samsung could " say stuff like ''LG released a phone with 2GB RAM, why can't Samsung do the same?'' "
That is not enough time to retool and redo phones. Phones are built months before release to build up initial stock. Also the confirmation of 2gigs of ram came out a little more than a week after that on the SGS3.
So, no, your entire argument about samsung seeing the LG and being "worried" and changing around the SGS3 is false. Dont try to call everyone else fanboys because you have some sort of "fact" that is not a fact at all.
68. u-suck-more (Posts: 529; Member since: 26 Aug 2011)
really? 8% unemployment makes e U.S. better? hmm not compared to where im from. perhaps better than europe, but im pretty sure not better than majority of Asia and Australasia.
so what if it is a Korea only phone? it is STILL the first phone in e world with 2GB of RAM. it is a fact whether u like it or not. deal with it troll.
u can choose to believe what u want, and im gon' believe what i wanna believe. i have better s**t to do than entertain ppl with double standards like you. have a nice day!
69. u-suck-more (Posts: 529; Member since: 26 Aug 2011)
and com'on u admitted, although indirectly, to being a Samsung fanboy when u replied to one of my comments. and when i brought it up, someone didnt reply. hmm i wonder who does it remind me of? taco and his group of ''Apple fanboys''? u love to pick on them for running away whenever someone brings up a valid point against them or about, well surprise surprise, u aint no different honey
71. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
you really do have mental issues dont you? "just saying :)"
I didnt reply to what? being a samsung fanboy? Because I'm not. If owning 1 samsung phone makes me a "fanboy" then everyone is a fanboy of everything they ever buy. Your arguments are crap. Where is your valid point? All I see is vitrol and stupidity. You claim that samsung changed the SGS3 without ANY proof to the fact, because LG brought a phone out about 2 weeks before the SGS3. What kind of fool thinks that is even possible?
Fact, it was released as a korea only phone, which means it needed A MUCH LOWER launch volume than the SGS3 by probably a factor of 100 if not more. Samsung released the 2 gig SGS3 variant a few weeks after LG, but they launched it WORLDWIDE. The SGS3 did 9 million presales.. has the LG even hit 500k total sales? It takes MONTHS to build up a supply for that kind of demand like the SGS3 had You could build up supply for LG's KOREA ONLY model in a few days for launch. You have ZERO proof of anything you say. Yea, the LG launched first.. it had to. Otherwise no one would have noticed the phone at all.
Considering your rampant anger, wild claims without a shred of proof, and name calling, I'd say you were much closer to acting like "taco and his group of apple fanboys" than anyone else on the thread.
73. u-suck-more (Posts: 529; Member since: 26 Aug 2011)
i rather have mental problems than be you.
yea tts what u said, but when u admitted to being a Samsung fanboy indirectly u ran away. and its not only about tt. even in an article about e S4 chip, when a valid point was made against u, you ran away.
call me a fool if you want, i dont give two s**ts about ur rat ass opinions
74. u-suck-more (Posts: 529; Member since: 26 Aug 2011)
oh and yes, the Optimus LTE 2 reached half a million sales in a week. phonearena posted tt article too.

OK, smarty pants, chill me a beer then jump in the washing machine
Illustration: Cathy Wilcox
THERE was a time when all we expected from our clothes was to preserve our modesty, protect us from the elements and pull in a few curves. Not any more.
If the Siggraph 2007 exhibition of future fashions in San Diego is anything to go by, your wardrobe will soon charge your iPod, convey hidden messages, light your home and act as a video game console.
Get ready for clothes infused with electronic gadgets and computers that can help you in your daily life - or just give you a laugh.
One piece of smart clothing you might decide not to wear in public is designer Jenny Chowdhury's "intimate controllers". These are a set of wired-up his and hers undies that she describes as "a collaborative video console for couples".
The garments have touch pads hidden in increasingly intimate places that the couple have to press in the correct order while being prompted by a set of symbols on a computer screen. As players get better the software encourages them to go for the more intimate pads.
"You can't get any further unless both players are playing the game well," said Ms Chowdhury, who developed it as a solution to "video-game widowhood".
A device that could give a whole new meaning to the phrase wardrobe malfunction is Andrew Schneider's solar bikini.
The swimwear is covered with 40 flexible photovoltaic cells that feed into a USB connection that can plug into your iPod.
Mr Schneider, of New York University, said that two hours in the sun was enough to charge an iPod Shuffle. But swimmers will need to be careful. "You can go in the water. You just have to make sure you are absolutely dry before you plug your iPod in," he said.
He is currently developing a pair of solar panel-covered shorts called iDrink. With the extra sun-capturing area, he predicts these will be capable of generating enough charge to chill a beer.
Elena Corchero has developed a range of accessories such as bracelets and fans that incorporate solar panels. During the day they soak up the rays. At night they become a decorative ambient light display.
Daniel Siewiorek, of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, said that building switches or tiny microphones into clothes that could connect with mobile phones would not be difficult.
But there were big hurdles for smart clothing at the moment.
"If it's something that's part of your daily routine, it's got to be throughout your wardrobe.
"And secondly, it has to go through the laundry."
Water and detergent are incompatible with most smart clothing at the moment.
That has not put off the US military, which has been funding research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to develop a vest that can communicate commands remotely to soldiers in the field. It works by producing patterns of vibration that can be operated from a command centre to silently tell soldiers to go left, right or stop, for example.
Connor Dickie's "kameraflage" is a more light-hearted way of conveying covert information.
This technology allows someone with a digital camera to view images on fabric that are not visible to the naked eye.
The technology relies on the ability of digital cameras being able to see further into the infra-red spectrum, so that the infra-red reflecting pigments then become only visible on a digital photo.
In his prototype, a woman's vest has an image of a cloud on it but viewers can only see the lightning strike below it on a photo.
Meanwhile, the electronics company Philips has applied for a patent on technology that changes the shape of clothing to match the size of its wearer.
The fabric is infused with shape memory alloys that expand to the right size when a current is passed through them. Once the electricity is removed they remain exactly the right size for their owner.

Lebanon's resistance movement, Hezbollah, says it stands firm in its fight against Takfiri militant groups operating in Syria [2].
Hassan Fadlallah, a parliamentarian representing the Lebanese resistance movement, said on Sunday that Hezbollah's defense strategy would not be swayed by concerns over negotiations or consensus, the Lebanese newspaper, The Daily Star [3], reported.
"The resistance is at the forefront of defending its country, people, towns and villages...[against] the threat of Takfiri groups," he said, adding that the movement "would not wait for local or defensive strategies nor would [it wait] for agreements or consensus because when we are subject to attack, occupation and killing, no strategies would do."
Fadlallah further said the wave of Takfiri groups in Iraq and Syria [4] is part of a common arrangement that also targets Lebanon.
He underlined that Hezbollah's intervention in Syria prevented the Takfiri group from moving into Lebanon to occupy the country.
In March, Hezbollah's Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah said Takfiri militants would have eliminated all the Lebanese if fighters of the resistance movement had not gone to war in Syria.
Hezbollah deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem said in May that the movement must continue in its battle against extremist groups in Syria because there was a plot to defeat the neighboring country and thus the resistance front.
Over the past months, the Syrian army, backed by Hezbollah resistance fighters, has managed to make major gains in its fight against the Takfiri groups [5] that have been operating to topple the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad since March 2011.

I've just started Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. I've been rather slow playing through recent (and not-so-recent) videogame series due to Degree/PhD related time constraints and playing an increasing amount of multi-player games with my friends (CS:GO on that front at the moment) I only played through ACII last December!
I was pleased to see the changes they made in ACII compared to the original. I began to find the assassination missions dull and repetitive. I mean, the actual assassination bit was always fun. But the mindnumbingly dull 'kill that', 'snatch this', 'run there' quests that were required before hand were starting to suck the fun from it. In ACII, that side of things was pushed into optional side-quests, with each assassination now feeling like a short, unique story that built into the whole narrative. The combat felt fluider and more interesting; a few extra moves adding more variety without the need to pre-prepare a list of combos on a sticky note stuck to the monitor.
I've played a bit under two hours of ACII:Brotherhood and, so far, it feels like ACII but better still, which is fine by me! :)

Snow this past week has kept students here at Brigham Young University in their warm winter coats. At least Phil the groundhog says there are only six more weeks until spring. Until then, however, Fashionistas and Fashionistos will still find ways to continue dressing well despite the cold weather. This Fashionista knows all about that in her cute Banana Republic beanie and Old Navy winter parka. Staying warm and fashionable during the winter is all about finding cute and warm winter essentials to mix and match with, like scarves, beanies and coats. A few of each in different colors will help any Fashionista create different looks every day all winter long. Thankfully we can start dressing warm soon, though, instead of having to bundle up for our treks to class.
Name: Alicia Watkins
Major: Sociology
Year: Senior
CollegeFashionista: Favorite winter season trend?
Alicia Watkins: My favorite winter season trend would have to be some of the highlighter bright and candy color trends I've seen. There is nothing like some bright pinks and yellows to cheer me up.
CF: If you had just $100 to spice up your wardrobe this season, what would you buy and where would you buy it?
AW: I would run to Sephora and indulge in some new makeup. When I'm putting together an outfit, I want to look put together from head to toe. I know that makeup can spice up any look whether it is a bright lip or a smoky eye.
CF: What motivates you to dress cute?
AW: I would say I am always striving to be the best possible version of myself. This includes dressing up every day so I can feel classy and fabulous in everything I do. I love this quote, and I think it is so true: "Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak."- Rachel Zoe
CF: What is your go-to date item?
AW: My go-to date item would have to be booties; a little heel gives every outfit that oomph it needs.
CF: What is a fashion pet peeve of yours?
AW: My fashion pet peeve would have to be men who wear skirts – let's just scream together!
How To: For a classic winter outfit like Alicia wear a warm winter parka, with chic black skinnies and black wedged TOMS shoes. Carry your books in a larger handbag, add some classic black Ray-Ban shades and top it all off with a fun beanie. You will stay warm and swaggin' until spring.

The Strategic Unit on Impact Evaluation is a group of experts in social research and monitoring and evaluation methodologies, who started collaborating together to systematise and innovate their knowledge concerning impact evaluation through a cross – fertilisation process of mutual learning and joint action – research.
The Strategic unit is composed of different kinds of experts, including economists, statisticians, political scientists, and anthropologists, from a variety of professional backgrounds including academia, development agencies and the consulting sector.
The group is a special unit of the research lab ARCO (Action Research for Co – Development), an action research lab of the University of Florence.
The Unit on Impact Evaluation integrates the expertise of its different members and uses innovative and advanced methodologies in order to deliver high level project and programme impact evaluations.
I. Performing policy relevant and rigorous Impact Evaluations, needing both quantitative and qualitative analysis.
II. Experimenting innovative methods for Impact Evaluation, and contribute to the enhancing of the applied research on Impact Evaluation.
III. Providing technical assistance to improve the capacity of public and private institutions in evaluating and learning from projects and programmes.
The Unit is composed of a board of scientific directors specialised in statistics (Prof. Fabrizia Mealli, University of Florence), economics (Prof. Mario Biggeri, University of Florence).
The experts activated for every impact evaluation may vary depending on the subject and peculiarities of each specific evaluation. Being part of ARCO (a University research lab co – founded by a consulting agency), the Strategic Unit has access to a large number of high level academics and professionals.
Thanks to the wide expertise of its broad group of experts, the Strategic Unit on Impact Evaluation is able to perform both qualitative and quantitative analyses, using also multidimensional models of impact analysis.
The Unit is able to cover the full chain of impact evaluation phases, from the theoretical study to the design and application of a specific methodology of field research.
We are able to perform all the main methods for impact evaluation, such as:
- pre- and post intervention project and control group design with randomisation or non-randomized assignment;
- delayed pre-test/post-test design with a comparison group. Evaluation does not start until around the mid point of the project;
- pre – and post – intervention project group with post-intervention only comparison group;
- post-implementation only project and comparison groups with no baseline data;
- pre- and post-implementation project group analysis with no comparison group;
- post-implementation project group with no baseline data and no comparison group.
In addition to this, the Impact Evaluation Unit elaborated the Evaluation of Human Development (EHD) Methodology. You can find a detailed description about it on our Brochure EHD
Principles underlying our work
- participatory approach in conducting impact evaluations;
- policy-relevance of the research topics selected, and attention to the features of the local context in the design of the actual study;
- support to the use of evidence in policy making, programme design, and programme implementation, which we encourage by preparing tailored formats for the dissemination of the evaluation results, and by providing tools and recommendations for evidence – based policies;
- continuous innovation in the methodological approach, achieved by using multidimensional and sector – specific methods of analysis;
- Independence and transparency of the impact evaluation conducted.
Main partners
- Non-Governmental Organizations
- Local/National Governments, Institutions and Organizations

Food fanatic, swimsuit model and avid blogger Chrissy Teigen and husband-to-be John Legend will embark on their wedding menu tasting adventure on Chrissy Teigen's Hungry, premiering on Wednesday, February 13, on Cooking Channel. On the special, Chrissy heads to Blackberry Farm resort, set in the scenic Smoky Mountain foothills, to sample rugged yet refined fare, from braised beef short ribs to slow-simmered blackberry jam. Along the way Chrissy will forge friendships with resident sheep, roll around in mud, and hunt ingredients for breakfast. Your average wedding preparation? Never. This is over-the-top, delicious, chaotic and, above all else, totally Chrissy.
In our interview, Chrissy shared with us her wedding planning tips and take aways from cooking school — plus let us know how she seemingly eats whatever she wants and still manages to be a knockout in a bikini.
What's the most important lesson you learned about planning a wedding menu?
It is definitely important that no matter how much you love, love, love love hearty food, you want your guests to be enjoying themselves more than anything! Smaller bites to start are a must, and a light, fruity dessert after the meal is a great option– people love a big burst of flavor and you won't see them overly full, curled up in the corner of your wedding reception underneath a plant at 7:30pm.
What's the most valuable thing you learned in cooking school?
Megan, wonderful, hilarious Megan would always tell me that there are a million ways to skin a cat. Walking in, it was really important to me that I was doing everything RIGHT, doing everything perfectly. Holding my knife perfectly, chopping beautifully, making a perfect-looking plate were consuming me and actually preventing me from the fun and experimental aspect of cooking! Everywhere I looked, chefs were doing things their own way. Some chopped at an angle, while some straight on with their feet strictly planted. Some chopped quickly, some sooooo slowly. Plates are actually more beautiful and have more character when you don't actively try put little things back into its "spot". Another huge thing: have fun and experiment! I can't tell you how many times Sue said to me, "let's try it!" after I made some weird little suggestion.
What's the most romantic thing someone could cook someone else for Valentine's Day?
Pasta and a little (a lot) of red wine just screams love times. Ooooh something creamy like fettucini with prosciutto and peas with some minestrone that has been sitting on the stove all day. That tastes like love to me.
What would you want to eat for your last meal ever?
Definitely my mom's scalloped potatoes with ham and bacon, which seem impossible to write a recipe for. She just does it. Every time she gives me the recipe, mine doesn't taste the same. I'm almost sure she is doing it on purpose so her potatoes can never be replaced…
Can you offer any tips for people to eat whatever they want and still look amazing in a swimsuit?
Ha! That is the golden question isn't it. You can't. You just can't eat anything you want and get in that swimsuit and feel happy. I don't talk about it much because I HATE DIETING, I hate dieting so, so much I can barely explain without getting angry, but I don't walk onto the set of a swimsuit shoot without having that whole week prior being a pretty strict regimen. It's kind of insane to think that a lot of people live their entire lives eating healthily. I give major props to them! But me, I need to eat and love what I'm eating and feel full and happy. So I have those times, and I have times of really buckling down. But I try to make sure I still get the flavors I love in the buckle-down times, that way my mind doesn't drive me bonkers. I just try to never forget that I WILL eat a hearty bowl of pasta again or that steak will be mine in a week, etc. I always throw myself a little food-I-missed party after a shoot. Whether anyone else is there or not.
