The best friend is a classic role in the "maternal melodrama." How did you approach playing such an iconic character?
Well, she becomes a best friend. At the start, I don't know that Mildred has any need for Lucy except as a neighbor. You see the development of their friendship over the five episodes as Mildred's life becomes different than she expected. But I was primarily guided by [director] Todd [Haynes] -- who did have this notion that Lucy is somehow iconic. I was really taking my cues from him. He's such an awesome and beautiful guy.
Lucy has some surprising best friend advice for Mildred.
She's a forward-thinking gal! Her husband is in the bootleg business -- I suppose the statuteof limitations has run out now so we can talk about what Ike did back then. I think there's something kind of jazzy about Lucy. She's a little older than Mildred and I'm a little older than Kate. And I find I very happily give advice right, left and center now that I've been around the block more than once. Also, Todd didn't want to stylize an era, he wanted to recreate and capture it, and he's done that beautifully. And humans have always had bawdiness and realistic views of the world but a lot of what gets put out in the mass media makes us look like we've progressed far more slowly than we have. People have always gotten divorced. Women had and still have an unfair advantage in that they are the fairer sex. And the problems and the realities that women face in the world are no different today than back in the late '30s when Mildred Pierce is trying to figure out what to do. In the 1970s my father abandoned (for all intents and purposes) his family, and my mother had to make her way. The children come along and the relationship changes and he's out of the house! What's a woman to do? That's gone on for centuries.
Did you create a backstory for Lucy, or work with Todd to?
There were a couple of different ideas tossed around, mostly by the wonderful, delightful Ann Roth, the costume designer. She got it in my ear that maybe many years before Lucy came out to Hollywood to be a showgirl.
Is that where she got some of her cynical views about men?
I think Lucy has realistic views of men. She landed a winner and she's willing to stand beside him and his illegal activity and that's working for her. But it doesn't mean it's going to work for everyone and when your husband abandons you, well honey, you've gotta latch onto another one to take care of you.
I got the idea that Lucy was keeping Ike afloat.
Eventually yes. You make a living at illegal activity and the activity is legalized, it changes the framework. And if Lucy had not by then forged the real true friendship with Mildred, she and Ike could have been out of a house. But Lucy realizes if Mildred can do this, go to work, I can do this too -- and then she gets Ike work too. When people help one another from their hearts, a lot can get done, you can save whole families. What goes around comes around.

If you're looking for some obscurities hidden within DC's New 52 universe, there's a fun little anthology series (now a miniseries, because hey, it's obscure) called My Greatest Adventure going on that may give you a character or three you enjoy. The most famous of these is Robotman, formerly of DC's cult favorite team Doom Patrol, now working mostly solo but retaining his curmudgeonly personality from the DCoU while fighting monsters. There's also the fallen hero Garbage Man, who has already mixed it up a bit with Batman while dealing with the curse of being a big pile of gross instead of a handsome, successful man with a lovely fiancee. Finally, there's the snarky Tanga, who has a hard time working with others and has alienated a lot of people for being an alien.
Check out these preview pages for My Greatest Adventure #4. First up are a couple of pages from Robotman's "Uncanny Valley" story by Matt Kindt and Scott Kolins, which reveals his origins and just how a human brain got surrounded by robot parts.
Then we've got Garbage Man in "Dream Monsters" by Aaron Lopresti, the story of a victim of some science gone wrong, trying to find his place in the world – particularly Gotham City.
Finally, there's the invulnerapurple Tanga tale "Besieged" by Kevin Maguire, which pits the alien lass against a giant crazy-lookin' monster.

Manchester United 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur – Premier League – 1st January 2014
Tim Sherwood continued his superb start to his tenure in the hot seat at Spurs, this time overseeing a fine win at Old Trafford. despite making a good start to the game, the Red Devils found themselves goal down on 34 minutes when Emmanuel Adebayor nodded home a Christian Eriksen centre. The Danish schemer then doubled the Lilywhites' lead just after the hour-mark as the visitors shocked the home side. United did rally, when Danny Welbeck getting a goal back but despite a number of near misses and penalty decisions not given, David Moyes' men just couldn't find an equaliser. The win sees Spurs go sixth while it also signals the end of the Red Devils' recent winning streak.

The Leica Digilux 4.3 and the Fuji Finepix 4700 are basically one and the same camera. Both are manufactured by Fuji in Japan and share the same basic specifications and features including: Fuji's 2.4 megapixel SuperCCD; 3X zoom (38-114mm); ability to record up to 80 seconds of AVI video; modes include automatic, macro, film mode (for recording and watching AVIs) and a manual mode which lets you change aperture size, ISO speeds, flash intensity etc. Shipped with Adobe Photoshop v.5.0LE, this is a very well specified camera which is easy to use and comes with the USB cable and a top software package you need for playing about with your digital photos on your computer. Where the cameras differ are: in finished appearance, the Leica looking modern with a hint of tradition lended to it by the black 'leather' textured rubber hand grip, whilst the Fuji has an all modern shiny silver finish. This is a moot point in terms of taste but camera afficionados will always point out the degree of quality and pedigree of products with the Leica 'red spot'. As well as finishing the camera, Leica have used their own lens as opposed to Fuji's though they are of the same specification. Another point to note is that the Leica comes with a 32mb SmartMedia card whilst the Fuji is shipped with a 16mb card. Although they are nigh on identical, these differences need to be considered especially as the Leica is on average £100 more than the Fuji. What you get with the Leica is the kudos (and assurance) of owning a quality camera whose brand is highly regarded, with a slightly higher spec given the lens and 32mb SM card. The Fuji on the other hand offers practically the same camera at a cheaper price and although it comes with a smaller memory card, this can always be upgraded later according to your needs. Overall, the cameras are well specified and featured and easy to operate and handle. In choosing between them you have the value f
or money of the Fuji or the more prestigious and slightly better equipped Leica which comes at a cost. If budget doesn't decide the issue, then personal preference in terms of camera appearance and snobbery will!

In the recent developers version of Google's Chrome browser, the http:// has been removed, causing quite a stir among some. I found it interesting only as far as the removal of http:// was long overdue. Most Web browser users do not even care and wouldn't even miss it. But for some this seemed to be an earth shattering revelation. For those that do not know it, the http stands for hypertext transfer protocol. Aren't you glad that you stopped by to learn this important fact? LOL
A recent news article also stated the following:
The reason behind this change is obvious: the URL scheme bears little meaning to most people using a browser – they know it's there and how to type it, but it doesn't indicate anything to them. Since computing has been about abstracting away complexity for a while now, it was only a matter of time before browser makers started removing this piece of web history.
That being said, I'm not at all in agreement with the "solution" Google is presenting here. Hiding complexity is not a solution – it's just hiding something. It's like Mac OS X hiding away the UNIX file system layout madness with a layer of kid-friendly directories; it only makes things look pretty – it doesn't actually solve the underlying problem. You can cover up that pile of mangled corpses in your bedroom with a flower-patterned table cloth, but that doesn't actually address the problem of there being a pile of mangled corpses in your bedroom.
Like I said, some people really care about this kind of stuff. But for the rest of us, life moves on. At least for those of us who actually have a life; I consider myself one that does.
What do you think? Do you care? And, if so, why?
Comments welcome.

A Bayhealth orthopaedic surgeon has brought an innovative hip replacement surgical technique to the residents of central and southern Delaware.
Trinity Pilkington, MD, offers the anterior approach to hip replacement surgery, which results in less pain, offers shorter hospital stay and faster recovery time, eliminates positional restrictions and improves patient satisfaction when compared to the traditional surgical methods.
"This muscle-sparing anterior approach to the hip offers patients the benefits of smaller incision and less muscle dissection, and eliminates post-operative positional restrictions," he said.
Surgeons choose from among three basic approaches when performing hip replacement surgeries: posterior (back), anterior lateral (side) or anterior (front). The anterior procedure Pilkington performs differs from traditional hip replacement surgical techniques in several ways. The muscle is not removed from the bone, resulting in less pain and fewer complications, which also means that patients need not limit their movements while they recover. Also, since the major muscle groups are spared, the risk of dislocation and other complications is reduced. The goal is to have patients go home the day following their surgery, rather than the typical hospital stay, which averages three days.
"The benefit to patients is a smaller scar and a faster recovery with less pain," he said.
A special operating table and instruments are required for this surgery, and surgeons must complete extensive training in the technique. Pilkington has performed more than 120 of these surgeries.
Pilkington joined Bayhealth Orthopaedics in 2013. This practice is part of Bayhealth Medical Group, a partnership of highly trained physicians, clinical staff, and an administrative support team that operates practices throughout central and southern Delaware.
Before joining Bayhealth, Pilkington was an orthopaedic surgeon at Riverside Memorial Hospital in Newport News, Va. He graduated with honors from the University of South Carolina School of Medicine and completed an orthopaedic surgical residency at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pa. He continued his orthopaedic training, specializing in orthopaedic trauma and reconstructive surgery, at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
Board-certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgeons, Pilkington is Bayhealth's medical director for orthopaedic trauma. In addition to providing expertise in complex orthopaedic fracture care, Pilkington also specializes in minimally invasive joint replacement surgery.
Pilkington has offices in Dover and Milford, and performs surgery at both the Kent General and Milford Memorial campuses. For more information about the procedure, call his office at 302-730-4366.
Bayhealth comprises Kent General and Milford Memorial Hospitals, numerous satellite facilities and many employed physician practices encompassing a variety of specialties. For more information, go to www.bayhealth.org.

|Easily one of the best routes in the canyon. Don't miss it.

rating: 5.12a 7a+ 25 VIII+ 25 E5 6a
A beautiful route with two distinct cruxes: one down low and one up high.
This is the second .12 I've redpointed, the other being Sentenced to Hang, which gets a consensus grade of .12b. Obviously, that's not much by way of perspective (though I've done my fair share of hard .11s), but this feels at least as hard as Sentenced to me if not a little a harder. The two cruxes are harder than the crux on Sentenced (both technically and in terms of strength), it's more sustained, and has a couple of very tough clips. Obviously, the two routes are very different in terms of style, but I'm better at Wizard-esque climbing and I still think it's as hard as Sentenced. So I propose hard .12b (definitely the crux move on Milanoma (.12c) is much harder than any move on the Wizard).
I suppose it doesn't matter much what it's graded, but I think these discussions are interesting and I'm always trying to get a better understanding of how people grade things.

|ian...I will give you the straight poop...Wizard is 12a (max !) but delicate so it may feel harder if you're not used to that kind of thing. Sentenced is 12a/b so not much difference there. Milanoma is probably NOT 12c...more like b/c. These are minor shadings of difficulty for sure, but you said you were interested so there you go.

about the grade: after climbing 3 other 12a's and one 12b i think this route is solid 12a and a good gauge to judge other routes of the grade in the tucson area.
i hereby decree that henceforth all routes that aspire unto the grade of 12a in the great land of Tucson shalt be compared beside The Mighty Wizard. all climbs that are slightly easier than The Mighty Wizard shalt be called 11d; all climbs that are slightly harder than The Mighty Wizard shalt be called 12b; and all climbs that are roughly equal in difficulty unto The Mighty Wizard shalt be called 12a. i have spoken.

12a is right. I get it now. I wouldn't use it as the Lemmon standard for the grade, though, because the style is fairly unique.
I'm inclined to think Milanoma is 12c, though. Have to go do Right Tissue and see.

|Very good and sustained technical climbing! I thought the grade leaned a bit closer to 12b but maybe I'm getting soft living in Colorado... probably. Either way, the sustained nature of the route (save for the last 15 feet) really make this a classic.

|So good! Great combination of technique and power. If you can work the feet out and milk the two good rests it becomes a very "accessible" 12a.

|The Wizard demands delicate footwork and it continued to demand my attention once my feet set off the ground. A great route and I am stoked to call it my first 5.12 flash in the Catalinas.

How To
Make calls from your PC
Ask a question
September 2017
Telephone modems are affordable, portable PC telephony systems, widely popular among internet users to make calls. There are two ways you may connect to make distant modem calls from your PC to a telephone: one is the voice mode, and the other is the data mode. It is important not to mix the PSTN and ADSL modem connections of the hardware. Similarly to a telephone, the modem dials the number of the subscriber to the PSTN network. You are always connected to your ISP with an ADSL modem. With your IP address, you can connect to other IP addresses. You can call with a hardware like an ADSL Modem from a computer to a phone by leaving the IP network and going back to RTC but the cost will be charged to your phone on the CTS.
Telephone modem CTS
Voice Mode
Data Mode
Call from PC to PC
Call with an ADSL modem from PC to phone.
Do not mix PSTN and ADSL!
With a 33 or 56Kb/s modem, to connect, it dials the phone number of a subscriber to the PSTN network, just like a telephone. The recipient may be a telephone, FAX, another modem, providing the actors (and call) speak the same language (protocol). And on the CTS, the cost will be charged to your phone...
With an ADSL modem, you are permanently connected with your ISP; you are assigned an IP address and connect to other IP addresses on the internet. The ADSL modem is more akin to a "network card" that a modem with respect to the connection.
With a modem RTC, for example you could connect directly to another PC (your home or house) and remote start with a simple phone call, interest standard ATX!
Anything that connects a conventional phone is the CTS network and uses the low frequency (voice), the ADSL modem connects through a filter that only passes frequencies that ADSL (and isolates equipment CTS).
With a modem, your ISP (you have dialed the phone number) connects to a PSTN gateway / TCPIP that lets you access the internet, but it remains the basis of a dial-up connection!
The phone dialler for Windows allows a classic modem command asking him to make the number for you and that's all. It is still RTC.
The CTS line can operate in 'voice' to call, or in 'Data' connections for modems and fax machines.
- Mode 'Data', the modem transmits fully to the data received from the PC (modulation), and conversely, data from the line to the PC (demodulation).
- Mode 'Vocal', audio signals on the PSTN (your words or the equivalent) are not interpreted by the modem, and therefore are not transmitted to the PC via the USB or serial links, and some models modems (internal cards) have input / audio outputs to relay the audio to the soundcard to use the microphone and speakers of the PC.
Telephone modem CTS
Voice Mode
You need a modem with an input/output connected to the sound card (microphone and speakers connected to the PC!). Software (Winphone or others) will allow you to store numbers, numbering, send / receive Fax, etc...
Your PC has become a big phone / fax / phone book, but always by RTC, therefore invoice!
Data Mode
If the called party uses the same software as you (Winphone), digital communication is the more need for sound output on the modem or connection to the sound card software will provide the digital encoding of your voice (microphone) and return of the voice of the corresponding (by HP). Additional advantages, recording conversations, answering machine functions, etc. ... But in this mode, impossible to reach a fix!
Call from PC to PC
Whatever the modem, simply connect to the internet - the audio is digitally encoded.
Many programs allow, Skype, Teamspeak, Winphone, including messengers such as MSN, Yahoo, etc ...
Call with an ADSL modem from PC to phone.
Large interest, since you can reach the world through the Internet ...
Technically, no problem: you must leave the IP network in the vicinity of the person and return to the RTC, thus a gateway TCPIP / CTS (the opposite of that used with a modem) ... but Ouch! billing on the CTS is hefty!
Taiwan if I call this method, the PTT of Taiwan will have to send me a note of the communication between the PSTN gateway TCPIP / CTS and my corresponding Taiwanese since it is the caller who pays for the communication...! !
That is the problem - billing.
However, there are regions where the phone is free (Canada, Florida and others), and in this case, the call to a phone is possible provided that the bridges are in place (but the implementation and services are not free).
There is software for calling a landline, such as Net2Phone, which offers dozens of free minutes as welcome gifts. I've installed and tried several times to call in Canada without ever succeeding in obtaining communication (although this may be due to my config, firewall or other).
Finally, while this is still a little sad...with ADSL, and to reach a fixed or send a fax, you are forced to use a modem ...
Skype allows you to call a phone
For 0.10 Dollars / minute (less than 1 dollar / h), you can reach much here:
For billing purposes, you card number will be required.

Sen. Dick Durbin will hold a hearing Tuesday to discuss the controversial "Stand Your Ground" laws – which the American Legislative Exchange Council helped write and implement – but did not invite ALEC to testify.
"The American Legislative Exchange Council is concerned over what misrepresentations might be made at next week's hearing," the group wrote. "In the past three months, Sen. Durbin has three times associated ALEC with issues unrelated to the organization in an attempt to marginalize and demonize the organization.
"His eagerness to target ALEC and the 33 million workers ALEC members employ closely mirrors the IRS targeting of conservative groups that Senator Durbin just recently condemned."
Durbin, an Illinoisan and the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, wrote to ALEC members and supporters in August, demanding to know whether they still support the stand your ground laws and whether they gave any money to ALEC in 2013.
A nonprofit that helps state leaders develop model legislation, ALEC hasn't advocated for stand your ground laws in more than a year, yet it is still the focus of attacks by opponents of the law, which received national attention during the recent George Zimmerman trial. Of course, the law wasn't used as a defense, but that didn't stop it from being a focal point.
Durbin will read the responses he received from ALEC supporters during his hearing, but did not invite ALEC to actually testify.
After the letter was sent, the Wall Street Journal wrote a scathing editorial claiming that Durbin was essentially trying to tie ALEC supporters to controversy simply because they support the conservative group.
"Mr. Durbin knows that if he can drive a wedge between ALEC and its corporate donors, it will help cripple the group's influence on issues like tax policy and education and remove a significant voice for conservative reform in the states, including Illinois," wrote the WSJ.
ALEC initially responded to Durbin's letter by calling the inquiry "a violation of the First and Tenth Amendments."

15 Tampa Bay elementary schools on lowest-performing list
Florida lawmakers adopted a bill this year that requires the 100 lowest performing elementary schools in reading on the FCAT to add an extra hour of reading instruction beyond the normal school day, with $15 million in total state funding attached.
Fifteen Tampa Bay area schools made the list, which is based on the percentage of a school's students scoring at grade level or above in reading, and the percentage making gains. (The ranking is based on the point values for the two categories being added together.)
In Pinellas, Imagine charter school had the worst ranking (9th lowest of the 100). Also on the list from Pinellas are Fairmount Park (14), Melrose (33), Woodlawn (36), Lakewood (49), High Point (64) and Campbell Park (76).
In Hillsborough, the schools on the list are Sulphur Springs (13), Edison (15), Potter (29), Washington (39), Shaw (60), West Tampa (67), Oak Park (84), and Graham (100).
Hernando and Pasco counties had no schools on the list, which is attached below.

Why I Read It: Darkcargo raves about this author.
Where I Got It: Won it from Goodreads, supplied by publisher (thanks!).
Who I Recommend This To: Those into fantasy adventure with flawed, fascinating characters.
Publisher: DAW (2012)
Length: 288 pages
Series: Crescent Moon Kingdoms Book 1
Late last year, I joined Goodreads, a book community site that has several on-going giveaways at any one time. That is where I won Throne of the Crescent Moon by Saladin Ahmed, who Darkcargo has been
stalking politely and professionally following for some time now. I received my ARC in the mail about a week ago. Throne of the Crescent Moon is due to be out, in hard back, February 2012, and is to be the first in a series.
This magical, nitty-gritty tale is set in the Kingdom of Abassen, primarily in the cit of Dhamsawaat. Adoulla Mahkslood is a professional ghul hunter and an overweight old man. He is assisted by the young, and overly pious, Raseed bas Raseed, of the forked sword. They start off with a simple quest to kill some ghuls in nearby marshlands, about a day's ride away. There, they discover more than they expected – indicating deeper and darker magic is a-foot. Unexpectedly, the desert tribeswoman Zamia Banu Laith Badawi renders aid. She had been tracking the ghuls in order to avenge the dead of her tribe. She is full of pride and anger and loss and will not stop her hunt until she has killed the jackalman-beast monster that slayed her people.
And all that was just the first night of reading. You can see how I was sucked in to the story from the beginning.
As these unlikely heroes attempt to unravel the mystery to this evil and defeat it, they are assisted by long-time friends to Adoulla – husband and wife Dawoud and Litaz. One's a mage and the other an alkhemist. All their efforts are integral in fending off this ghul-raising evil and saving the city of Dhamsawaat. Perhaps. And that is why I am glad there is another book in the wings. Last night when I finished Throne of the Crescent Moon, I truly wasn't ready to say goodbye to these characters.
I really enjoyed this book, for a number of reasons. Characters, places, magics, and cultures new to me – not based on European mythologies. Also, each character was flawed in some way – which made them very real to me. And despite their imperfections, they were still fighting for the good. The bad guys are really bad – like no qualms about killing little kids or stabbing you in the back kind of bad. I appreciate this in a fantasy – it makes the struggle for good all the more important.
The play of light and dark makes for a whorling gem of a tale. The relaxing use of cardamom tea in between action scenes had me wishing for a hot cup myself. Saladin Ahmed sprinkles his prose with references to foreign places that make this story all the more tangible; camels trained to sniff out ink mushrooms and honey fried colocasia roots are just two such examples. All in all, Throne of the Crescent Moon is a most engaging book and I fully encourage you to check out his works.
What I Liked: Fantasy set in a non-European culture; flawed, real characters; cardamom tea; really bad dudes.
What I Disliked: Now I have to wait so long for the next in the series.

Bangalore, Dec 5 (UNI) Players of India and Pakistan teams arrived here this morning from Kolkata for the crucial third and final test at M Chinnaswamy stadium from December 8 to 11.
For Team India, the test is crucial as it would be looking for wrapping up the series having already gone one up after winning the first test at Delhi.
Pakistan, which thwarted hosts' chance of winning the series after a draw, would be looking for equalling the series by winning at the M Chinnaswamy stadium, their favourite and lucky ground. The visitors in their previous four outings here had won two with the other two tests drawn.
A win in this ground for Team India would be a bonus for Anil Kumble, who got captaincy as a Diwali gift. The win would create a record in this ground in both the ways of winning the test for the first time and the series against Pakistan.
The teams, after a day's rest will have their net practices tomorrow.

This simple green soup might conjure memories of cafeteria food, but it's worth giving another shot based on its stellar health facts alone. (Peas are packed with fiber, protein and vitamins A, C, K and B6, and spinach is a superfood.) Plus, it's so light and fresh, you'll wonder what took you so long to come around.

Call it a spoonable salad, this classic chilled soup is the ideal dish for cooling off on a warm day. Prettify your bowl by topping it with colorful edible flowers and a few sliced chilies.

Think pink! Like traditional versions, this fruity recipe has a spicy kick and plenty of crunch. Since the watermelon keeps things sweet, serve this soup for brunch, lunch — or even breakfast! — meal. (Or pour it into popsicle molds and freeze to make a sweet and savory dessert.)

Why chicken soup? Because cold season happens during springtime, too, and this tangy riff on matzo ball soup is just what you'll need to take the edge off. Don't get thrown by the large number of ingredients (18?!) — the recipe has just four, super simple steps. Take that, seasonal sniffles.

Sweet potatoes (a superfood!) lend richness without requiring much fat. (The whole recipe has just 2 tablespoons of olive oil.) If you're concerned about creating a too-sweet-to-eat meal, keep in mind that this recipe is heavy in savory herbs and spices — like nutmeg, sage, and cracked black pepper — which will help to balance out the other flavors.

Why should toast have all the fun? Creamy and so cooling, this recipe couldn't be simpler: Just combine the ingredients and blend until smooth. Oh, and did we mention that avocados are a superfood?
Original Pin by Tartlette
Spring is a bit early for enjoying corn straight off the cob. Give it a flavor boost by using it — along with peppers, onions and chillies — in a hearty chowder. This vegan version swaps almond milk for cream, resulting in a nutty and complex dish.
Original Pin by Knead to Cook
Chilled, smooth and packing plenty of good-for-you ingredients (lentils and yogurt are both superfoods!), this soup is so thick, you might want to dip a chip in it. Feel free ‐ but we think it's just as tasty eaten with a spoon.

Inconsequential questions?I am finally done with the Business Ethics outline. But I'm still worried about payment. This is the same gurl who was supposed to be working with me on that major course outline project but fell through. That client was so uncertain that she didn't want to do that project. This client wasn't willing to pay a half down payment, but only after the work is submitted… I hope she gets the client to pay promptly!
Possible solution: Can I just submit half of the work done first, and submit the last half only when I get paid?
Meanwhile, I got a question.
What has been happening since the last time I stopped medicating the kits. No longer medicating them cos they have taken to reside inside this drain with a small hole. I can't put my hand in to pull Jack and Ash out unless they come out.
But in any case, I don't want to make it a habit that they can come anytime and be fed. There will only be trouble later if they expect to be fed.
Also, three toms have been hanging around Babs. I think she's in heat. Despite the young ages of Jack and Ash!!!
Last night, I saw this tabby tom trying to mate with her. I think he managed to screw her cos she was making all those loud noises.
Today another white and orange tom has been hanging around her and I heard her making those loud noises again in the late evening. I think he was banging her.
Question: Can a queen actually mate with a few toms during her 'in heat' period?!
I mean… wouldn't the eggs be confused? So which sperm fertilises the eggs? The first tom or the second tom? Or do both toms' sperm fertilise the eggs??
*mind boggled*
I anticipate that when Babs gives birth to the next litter of kittens that she will appear on our doorstep to be fed!!!

iCAD, Inc. (Nasdaq: ICAD), an industry-leading provider of advanced image analysis, workflow solutions and radiation therapy for the early identification and treatment of cancer, and the Pink Lotus Breast Center in Beverly Hills, California, announced an agreement that will make the Xoft® Axxent® Electronic Brachytherapy System® available to breast cancer patients treated at Pink Lotus. The Xoft system for Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT) delivers a single, prescribed, targeted dose of radiation during surgery directly to the tumor cavity – minimizing radiation to healthy tissue and organs. The announcement was made during the annual meeting of the American Society of Breast Surgeons in Phoenix, where iCAD is showcasing the Xoft system. "By adopting the Xoft system for IORT we can now offer our patients the option of receiving a full dose of radiation therapy in the operating room during their lumpectomy, allowing minimal disruption to our patients' active lives," said Kristi Funk, MD, Founder, Pink Lotus Breast Center. "At Pink Lotus we are committed to providing our patients with cutting-edge treatment options that improve care. By offering the Xoft system, we are giving our patients access to an innovative radiation therapy option that is highly effective and more convenient while minimizing radiation exposure." "The increasing adoption of the Xoft system by leading radiation oncologists as well as breast surgeons like Dr. Kristi Funk, across the nation and around the globe, highlights the growing demand for IORT," said Ken Ferry, President and CEO of iCAD. "We are excited to be working with the Pink Lotus Breast Center, which is a nationally recognized thought leader at the forefront of breast cancer detection and treatment." As the Xoft system does not require a shielded environment, and is relatively small in size, it can easily be transported for use in virtually any clinical setting (including the operating room where IORT is delivered) under radiation oncology supervision. The Xoft system may also be used for accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI), which can be delivered twice daily for five days.

The text below is from a letter found in my grandmother's house (Mary Patricia Hill Kornhauser) in Barrington, Rhode Island when she died. What is curious is that we have no idea for whom the letter might have been meant. So far as I can tell, it was not sent to my grandmother or any of her family members, nor was it sent to my grandfather or his family. The letter itself is hysterical, which is probably why it was saved. Its source, however, remains a mystery.
The plot thickens! I was recently contacted by Mark Warner who had viewed this web site and has a virtually identical letter that had been passed down from his grandfather. (Key differences are enumerated at the bottom of the page.) His grandfather, James McKay Farrell, was born in 1890 in San Francisco, CA and was as a Railroad Locomotive Engineer for the Southern Pacific Railroad. His parents were James Farrell born 1859 Ireland or Scotland (he apparently was an orphan, although he did immigrate from Queenstown/Cork) and Sarah Christina McKay born 1864, Tp Pilkington, Wellington, Ontario. Despite both of our efforts, no link between our families can be discovered.
Here is another interesting tidbit that requires more follow-up: In The Spirituality of Comedy: Comic Heroism in a Tragic World by M. Conrad Hyers (New Brunswick: Transaction Publishers, 1996; p. 15), the author notes that W.C. Fields received a letter from a Catholic niece in 1940. Fields is the noted American comedian featured in many old films. The book (including these references) can be seen on-line at Google Books.
The quoted Fields letter is virtually identical to the letter that I have. Differences in the quoted sections are that the Protestants are referred to as "Orangemen" in my letter and "Black and Tans" in Fields' letter. Also, his is apparently dated slightly later than mine - 1940 as opposed to 1939 - which seems to indicate that mine is not a copy of his. Fields' letter was posthumously published, so I wonder if it is, in fact, also a hoax letter that was misinterpreted by later descendants. If so, Fields may also have received another letter, which Hyers mentions only in passing" "'Your Aunt Maggie from Ireland, who has informed me that more Protestant churches have been burned to the ground, sends her love.'" Ironically, Hyers is using the letter to demonstrate the obliviousness of the letter author to the humor of the conflicts. However, if this was a hoax, it was probably created precisely BECAUSE of the humor of the letter.
Again, I am looking for more information, so if you have it, please contact me! My email is megabaker (at) gmail (dot) com
Queenstown, Ireland
December 21, 1939
Dear Cousin,
welcome letter was received, and me and your Aunt Bridget thank
you kindly for the money you sent. We had seven masses said for your
grandfather and grandmother. God rest their souls.
You have gone high places in America. God bless you. I hope you have
not forsaken your native land. Your cousin Hughie Doherty was hung in
Londonderry last Friday for killing a policeman. May God rest his
soul, and may God's curse be on Jimmy Rodgers, the informer. May his
soul burn in Hell, God forgive me.
Times are not as bad as they might be. The herring is back, and
nearly everyone, has a boat or an interest in one, and the price of
fish is good, thanks be to God. The Orangeman are terrible. They go
through the country in their lorries and shoot the poor people down
in the fields where they are working. God's curse on them.
Uncle Danny took a shot at one of them yesterday from the
hedge, but he had too much to drink and missed them. God's curse on
the drink.
Well I hope this letter finds you and your family well and happy,
and we all join in sending you our best wishes. May God bless you
all. Am sorry you are not with us.
The Dohertys are a hundred strong men now since the best of them
stopped going to America. They will soon cover the whole countryside.
Father O'Flaherty, who baptized your distant cousin, and who is now
feeble-minded, sends his blessing. May God rest you and yours, and
keep you from sickness and sudden death.
Your cousin Honora.
P.S. Things might be worse than they are. Every police barrack and
every Protestant church in the country has been burned down. Thanks
be to God.
We are now wondering if the letters might be some type of hoax, although they appear to have been individually typed and there is no apparent motive for the hoax. Key differences between the letters exist:
Census Records | Vital Records | Family Trees & Communities | Immigration Records | Military Records Directories & Member Lists | Family & Local Histories | Newspapers & Periodicals | Court, Land & Probate | Finding Aids

Apple's WorldWide Developers Conference is mere days away, and Flurry dropped some interesting stats that show developers favor Apple's iOS platform. According to Flurry's data, 69% of new applications created in the first three months of 2012 were for iOS and 31% for Android.
Based on historical data, Android actually gained ground against iOS. In Q311, 75% of new apps were for iOS and 25% for Android, and in Q411, 73% of new apps were for iOS and 27% were for Android. Flurry attributes the downward trend in iOS to seasonality.
[ Does SIRI need a makeover? Read SIRI Fixes: What We Want From Apple WWDC. ]
The big reason iOS is more popular with developers? Apple's installed base of iPhones is largely homogenous--meaning that the screen size and resolution are identical and known. All iPhones have 3.5-inch displays and the same aspect ratio. At the same time, developers can target the Apple iPad, which is far and away the world's best-selling tablet computer. The two-for-one proposition offered by iOS apps is too hard for developers to pass up.
"Apple offers the most compelling 'build once, run anywhere' value proposition in the market today," said Flurry, "delivering maximum consumer reach to developers reach for minimal cost."
Last, iOS applications generate four times the amount of revenue than comparable Android apps. According to Flurry, developers who earn $1.00 from an iOS application earn only $0.24 from Android. "At the end of the day, developers run businesses, and businesses seek out markets where revenue opportunities are highest and the cost of building and distributing is lowest," concludes Flurry. "In short, Android delivers less gain and more pain than iOS, which we believe is the key reason 7 out of every 10 apps built in the new economy are for iOS instead of Android."
Developers aren't the only ones eying up iOS. Consumers are, too.
New data from the Consumer Intelligence Research Partners shows that 38% of consumers who purchased an iPhone in April were defectors from Google's Android or RIM's BlackBerry platform. That number was at 29% in February. Of all iPhone buyers in April, fully 42% were switching from another smartphone, which is up from 36% in February. One in four new iPhone buyers in April was either switching from a feature phone or buying their first mobile phone.
This data corroborates other analyses that show that the iPhone gained ground against Android during the first quarter of 2012. IDC suggested earlier this week that Android's growth will peak this year. While I don't think Google's Android platform is going to die off any time soon, it's interesting to see the resurgence in interest in iOS--especially ahead of Apple's big developer event, which kicks off June 11.
Mobile Connect addresses the strategic direction that will define enterprise IT for the next decade--building and managing information systems that run on a mobile platform. Mobile Connect will bring together enterprise mobility thought leaders to discuss the innovations in mobile, and how forward-thinking companies are getting the technology to work for them, providing unprecedented business value. It happens in Boston, June 18-20. Register today.

Tippet to Leader Knots ?
I was wondering what everyone uses here. At home I tie my own leaders useing a blood knot tool. But on stream if I need to add tippet or repair a leader I'm useless for blood knots. I just use loops, but I don't like them much. My eyes and fingers ain't what they were so I'm looking for a simple but good knot. Thanks.
Re: Tippet to Leader Knots ?
I like fly lines with welded loops or the add-on braided loops. But if I don't have a loop end, I use a nail knot to tie on the leader.
Re: Tippet to Leader Knots ?
Blood knots are probably the best, but for quick and easy on the stream I like the triple surgeons knot, very simple especially with my aging eyes.
Re: Tippet to Leader Knots ?
I use a blood knot to connect my leader and tippet. There are a couple things that help me and my middle age (61) eyes.
Start with a good amount of leader and tippet to work with to make your knot. It makes the job simpler.
Picture the leader in your right hand and the tippet in your left hand. I use a good amount of tippet and line to do the twisting. I place the leader behind the tippet and wrap it first. I wrap or pass it over the top of the tippet. Pinch it with your thumb and first finger of you left hand and pass it to your middle finger and ringer on your right hand. You are pinching between your middle finger and ringer when you take it from your left hand. Passing from the end that you are wrapping from one hand to the other is what made tying a blood knot easy for me. Again, starting with a good amount of leader and tippet helps you do this.
Also, when you wrap the second portion leave a large space to insert the leader into the hole. It really helps if you have middle age eyes.
For me learning to tie a blood knot was like learning to do a whip finish. There were no tools at the time (1971). To a certain extent I think the blood knot tool makes it more difficult.
Reading these tips on knot tying is not the same as watching someone do it. If my "tips" didn't help just post the grumpy, red smilie and I will understand. :)
Re: Tippet to Leader Knots ?
Thanks that was a great effort to explain on your part. I'm gonna try it and practice at home. I'm tying leaders right now lol.
Re: Tippet to Leader Knots ?
I'm a loop2loop guy.
Perfection loop on the leader, non-slip loop on the tippet
Re: Tippet to Leader Knots ?
#2 on the Surgeons knot onstream, it's one I can (almost) tie in the dark. I use a Blood knot when I build a leader ahead of time, although a Double Uni looks pretty good also.
+1 for the loop-to-loop method.
Re: Tippet to Leader Knots ?
Here is a great video showing a simple way to tie a blood knot. I only use 4 or five wraps instead of the seven they say.
This site has videos on 70 fishing knots, so if the blood knot is still to difficult, you should be able to find one that suits your fancy!

National Down Syndrome Society8 E 41st Street, 8th FloorNew York New York 10017800-221-4602[email protected]
If there's one thing I've always been jealous of, it is how close my best friend Kate is with her family. Every Sunday, they spend the entire day together as a family of six, and then sit down to a large family dinner followed by board games and movies. I can't tell you how many times I called Kate to do something and she declined, "I can't I'm with the family today." If my parents had ever made me spend time with them instead of my friends, I would have put up a much bigger fight, but for Kate, it was different. Kate's family had been through a lot together; the death of her grandparents, moving through numerous school districts, and their youngest sibling, Elizabeth, being born with Down syndrome. When I questioned Kate about what she thought made her family so close and different from others, she smiled and answered with out hesitating, "Honestly, I think it's Elizabeth!" She explained how the love and support her family has for Elizabeth had brought them together in a way not many other families had. After spending more and more time with Kate and her family, I saw what Kate meant immediately. Elizabeth had the best energy, and was always inspiring those around her to give their best. She captured the room in a way no one else could, and she always had something interesting and positive to say. When I was with Elizabeth I would laugh and laugh and I could see how much love she had in her heart for the world and the people around her. As the years went by, Elizabeth and I became good friends. I knew I could always count on her to cheer me up when I needed it, and I consider her one of my strongest role models. Although at first Kate's family thought they would be "different" because of Elizabeth, they had no idea that this "differentness" would be such a positive influence in their lives. Not only has Elizabeth brought their family so close together, but she changed my life, as well as many others. With her cheerful outlook on life, her free-spirit, and her ability to see the best in people, she is someone that is truly inspirational, and will always have a special place in my heart and motivate me to be the best I can be.

Twin-Cam Beaubier Ties Record With His Ninth DSB Win Of The Season And Second Of The Weekend For Yamaha Extended Service/Monster Energy/Graves/Yamaha; Teammate Gerloff 2nd At Miller Motorsports Park
Tooele, UT - August 4, 2013 – Consistency is the secret to success in AMA Pro Road Racing, and the Y.E.S./Monster Energy/Graves/Yamaha team has it as AMA Pro GoPro Daytona SportBike Race 2 was almost a carbon-copy of Saturday's race from Miller Motorsports Park. Cameron Beaubier once again took the win, which was his ninth victory out of ten races this year, and he tied the record for most DSB wins in a single season.
Cameron's teammate Garrett Gerloff was, once again, a very close second in a race in which he took a couple of turns in the lead. Also as was the case yesterday, the top-five finishers in today's race were all aboard Yamaha YZF-R6s in another dominant showing for the crossed-tuning-forks brand.
"It's really been a dream season for me," Cameron said after his record-tying win. "My crew of Olly (Hutchinson) and Skye (Girard) have really worked hard to give me a great bike all season long. It was a fun race today, just like it was yesterday. We had an awesome battle out there, and I really enjoyed it."
Garrett said, "Getting a second at Laguna Seca gave me a lot of confidence coming into Miller, and I'm really happy with my results. I was able to run up front and lead the race both yesterday and today, so I'm hungry for a win."
With just two rounds and three races left to go in the 2013 season, Cameron has a commanding 87-point lead in the Championship points standings and, on the strength of his strong finishes yesterday and today, Garrett is now in third place.
The Y.E.S./Monster Energy/Graves/Yamaha team will be back in action on the weekend of September 13 through 18 for Round 8 of the AMA Pro GoPro Daytona SportBike Championship, which is the New Jersey Lottery Devil's Showdown at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, NJ.

People have been tortured in our names. That is a fact. If you disagree, what do you know that the Red Cross doesn't?:
The allegations of ill-treatment of the detainees indicate that, in many cases, the ill-treatment to which they were subjected while held in the CIA program, either singly or in combination, constituted torture. In addition, many other elements of the ill-treatment, either singly or in combination, constituted cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment."
This makes me think more than ever that we need a truth and reconciliation commission — not to punish the low-level guys who inflicted torture, but to set the record straight on who thought it was a good idea to make the use of torture U.S. national policy. Those are the people who dragged this country's name through the mud, and who also didn't understand that we can't win a war for our values by undermining them.

ONCE upon a time, you couldn't move for Bobs and Berts in the Football League.
You couldn't turn round without bumping into a Walter, a Wallace or a Donald – and their name would invariably be linked with a grand old surname like Arkwright, Mainwaring or Shuttleworth.
But those days are long gone, more's the pity, and times have changed considerably.
A study by the Football League this week found out that you are more likely to come across a Daniel than anyone else in the 72 clubs outside the Premier League.
There are 60 of them, apparently, but a quick straw poll on The Bolton News sports desk identified five, and two of them play for Bury.
The Shakers have Daniel Nardiello and Danny Mayor, while hats off to Dave Pye for recalling Danny Drinkwater (Leicester City), Danny Ings (Burnley) and Danny Webber (Accrington Stanley).
I'd hoped for a half-mark for Neil Danns but was over-ruled.
Among the other "answers" we got on the desk were Danny Blanchflower, Danny Mills – both long-since retired – and Danny Boy, which is frankly, a song.
Danny Ward was the last Daniel that Wanderers actually owned, and he left three years ago.
Before that, there was a big Nigerian defender by the name of Shittu and a ball-juggling Norwegian international by the name of Braaten. Actually, now I come to think of it, it's no wonder we stopped collecting them.
And before you start bombarding me with tweets or emails, yes, Daniel Sturridge was much, much better than those mentioned but he belonged to Chelsea at the time, so didn't count.
In a list of the players registered to the 72 clubs in the Championship, League One and League Two, the name Daniel pipped James to top spot by one, erm, Daniel, and were several players ahead of joint-third David and Matthew.
But in the future, they too will go the way of Wilfred, Brian and Stanley, to be replaced by whatever is the modern vogue.
Recently, baby boys these days all seem to be named after octogenarians, so on the horizon in a decade or two, we have a wave of footballers called Harry, Oliver, Jack and Charlie, just like the good old days.
Quite why we don't have any Shuttleworths or Arkwrights playing professionally I'm not sure – as while Christian names come and go out of fashion, you would imagine surnames to have a bit more longevity.

Kiss of Death
During these mean-spirited political times,
Republicans have no qualms about calling up such images about President Barack
"That's what Obama's visits and support really have
been—the kiss of death," said Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican Party
of Wisconsin, about Obama's Milwaukee
campaign fund-raising appearance.
Of course, if that were the case, why were Milwaukee
Mayor Tom Barrett, running for governor, and Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold,
running for re-election, so eager to share the spotlight with the incumbent
Perhaps because this is the president who won an
overwhelming election victory in Wisconsin,
achieving victory in 59 of the state's 72 counties—rural, suburban and urban
Not only that, but Obama was arriving at a perfect
time to tout $365 million for Wisconsin to rehire laid-off teachers and
maintain health care he finally managed to get through Congress over the
opposition of Republicans.
That was in addition to the recent windfall of $810
million in economic stimulus funds to make Wisconsin the centerpiece of a
national high-speed rail system connecting Milwaukee
and Madison to St. Louis,
Chicago, Minneapolis
and other major cities.
GOP Brainwashing
Still, you can't blame Priebus and state Republicans
for deluding themselves into thinking there's something negative about a
personally popular president showing up bearing more than a billion dollars
during hard times to campaign for state Democrats.
Republicans and the media have been brainwashing
each other.
The media narrative for weeks has been that Obama
and the Democrats are in trouble in the November election because jobs are
still not being created fast enough as the nation struggles to recover from one
of the worst economic disasters in American history.
That's a pretty bad story for the Democrats, all
right. But sometime before November, the media is going to have to get around
to telling the rest of the story.
It is that Republicans have consistently voted
against every effort to improve the economy under Obama because Republicans
would prefer to have millions of Americans remain out of work rather than have
Democrats benefit politically from an economic recovery.
To needlessly compound the injury, Republicans also
voted against extending unemployment compensation for millions of people
without jobs at a time when there are five applicants for every opening.
That's why when you look closely at most of the
polls that say people are unhappy with Obama and the Democrats because of the
economy, you find that the only politicians people hold in lower esteem than
the Democrats are the Republicans.
But that's not the part of the story that makes the
headlines. The headlines keep repeating the same tired line—More Bad News for
Democrats: People Unhappy about Economy.
The conventional wisdom in political reporting is
that the party that wins the presidential election always loses seats in
Congress in the off-year election two years later.
And when people are unhappy about the economy, the
party in power loses even more seats.
Of course, conventional wisdom also said Obama would
never be elected president in the first place. The economic circumstances
surrounding November's election have never existed before. Naturally, voters
are distressed about the economy. Who wouldn't be? But here is the choice for
voters to register their unhappiness in November:
They can vote for the Democrats who have passed bill
after bill to save millions of jobs and to create new jobs rebuilding roads,
bridges and infrastructure and—on the depressed North Side of
Milwaukee—building high-tech, high-speed trains for a new national
transportation system.
Or, if voters are really angry that all those
hard-fought Democratic efforts to pull the economy back from the brink of a
depression are not creating jobs fast enough, their other choice is to vote to
shut down the economic recovery.
That's because Republicans have opposed every single
bill to save or create American jobs.
Republicans would have let the American car
companies go out of business, devastating local manufacturers such as Johnson
Controls. They would have let the banks collapse. They would have laid off
hundreds of thousands of teachers. They even oppose a $30 billion loan fund to
assist small businesses.
Wisconsin Republicans have joined their national
leaders in opposing actual dollars coming into the state to create jobs and
promote economic development.
Incredibly, both Republican gubernatorial candidates
have pledged to reject the federal gift of $810 million to build the national
high-speed rail system in Wisconsin
and all the resulting employment and economic development.
When the economy is the primary voter concern, the cynical Republican decision to try to prevent economic recovery under Obama should be the real political kiss of death.

Pipers drop close games to Woodbury, Miesville
The Rosemount Pipers will take a losing streak into Sunday's regular season finale after dropping a pair of one-run games last week.
The Pipers suffered a walk-off 5-4 loss last Friday at Woodbury, and then were dealt another heartbreaker Sunday at Miesville when two runs raced home during a mound meeting in a 2-1 loss at Jack Ruhr Field.
"We are slumping at the wrong time with the state tournament in less than two weeks," Pipers player/manager Ken Fry said. "Friday night, we had a few base running errors, a few errors on defense and left runners stranded.… Sunday was a debacle.… Although we caught a tough break, we had our chances to score runs and only put up one."
The Pipers had five hits against Miesville and left eight runners on base. Dan Hegberg was 2 for 4 with an RBI and surrendered four hits in six innings on the mound. He walked a batter to load the bases in the sixth, which caused catcher Charlie Borrell to call time out and come out to the mound. While the Pipers talked things over, two Miesville runners raced across the plate.
"Borrell immediately put his hands up, called time and headed to the mound," Fry said. "By the time we realized what happend it was too late. The umpire said we didn't call time."
Woodbury strung together two walks and two hits to walk off with a win over the Pipers on Friday.
Starter Jamie Wiesner allowed 12 hits and walked three and was in position to get the win, but couldn't get an out in the seventh.
Borrell ripped three of Rosemount's 11 hits. Wiesner helped himself with a pair of RBIs and Scott Manwarren and Sean Boos added two hits apiece.
The Pipers close out the regular season Sunday afternoon against the Minnetonka Saints at DCTC. First pitch is at 3 p.m.

"Turn which every way around" by PrefJuly 01, 2013

If there's any place you should check out during Restaurant Week, it's undoubtedly Remlik's Grille & Oyster Bar. This upscale restaurant makes you feel like a wealthy patron even though you'll be spending on a student budget.
Remlik's, unbeknownst to many underclassmen, lies in the depths of Downtown Binghamton, hidden away in its own corner on Lewis Street. Upon walking in, you may be confused when you see a high-priced jewelry shop, decorated antiques and maybe even an old town car — or a newer, more expensive model — in the lobby. But don't worry, you are in the right place. Just walk a few steps further and a hostess will be there to take you to your table in the dimly lit, sophisticated and elegant dining area with its assortment of long dining tables with small, more intimate arrangements. The interior has a festive feeling with lights wrapped around pillars, welcoming wreaths and paintings on the walls. The outdoor deck isn't bad either.
"The atmosphere at Remlik's is amazing," said Suzanne Greene, a junior majoring in political science. "The outdoor deck overlooks the rail lines and old brick buildings with vintage painted advertisements from days gone by. It feels like you've left Binghamton completely. Plus, the food is fantastic."
Remlik's is known for its oyster bar — the restaurant's greatest catch. If you're a seafood connoisseur, the oyster bar will have you drooling with its succulent oysters, clams and endless supply of lobster and cod. The cod is featured prominently on the lunch menu for Restaurant Week with a delicious entrée of fish and chips, featuring Remlik's popular codfish battered in beer and served with house-cut fries. This is the winning lunch dish. For an appetizer, a delicious mixed salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing does the job. If you're more adventurous, however, definitely try the garlic herb knots with Remlik's homemade marinara sauce. These doughy rolls of garlic will have your mouth watering.
While lunch at Remlik's is delicious and savory, the romantic setting is perfect for a dinner date or a large get-together with friends. For those of you 21 and over, start off the night with a nice glass of Pinot Grigio. As you sip on your wine and relax, do yourself a favor and start your meal with the nice, warm soup of the day. Cross your fingers that it's French onion! Hot out of the oven, this soup melts in your mouth. The mozzarella cheese is silky, delicate and, well, melty as it slides down your throat with ease, making you warm from head to toe.
Now, for the big entrée. My favorite choice is the prime sirloin au poivre, cooked medium-well. This steak, grilled to perfection, sizzles on the dish, just waiting for you to dig in. Topped with a creamy brandy peppercorn sauce, the steak has just the right kick. However, if you're more conservative, you can ask for just the sirloin without the sauce on top. It also comes with light, fluffy whipped potatoes to balance out the heavy sirloin. If you can handle the dessert, my hat is off to you, but the appetizer and entrée alone had me full to the brim. Walking out with a full stomach and a full wallet, it is suffice to say that Remlik's is an excellent choice for this year's Restaurant Week.

Yesterday, President Barack Obama signed into law the Coast Guard authorization bill (HR 2838), which U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) cosponsored and helped author. The bill included three amendments written by Cantwell that will protect the nation's icebreaking capability, improve tsunami debris cleanup and study the risk of Canadian tar sands supertanker traffic in Washington state waters.
"The Coast Guard Bill is a win for Washington state," said Cantwell. "This bill takes a major step forward in protecting Washington state's coastal economy and the 165,000 jobs that depend on it. This new law reaffirms our commitment to maintaining a presence in the Arctic and protecting Washington state waters from tsunami debris and oil spills."
Cantwell's amendments will:
Prohibit the Coast Guard from acting on plans to decommission the Seattle-based icebreaker Polar Sea unless the Coast Guard conducts a study showing that scrapping the vessel is the most cost-effective option and provides a plan to meet the nation's need for additional icebreakers. Cantwell's language also ensures the nation's remaining icebreakers remain homeported in Seattle until at least 2022;
Require the Coast Guard to conduct a study within 180 days to analyze oil spill risks from additional Canadian tar sands oil supertanker, tanker and barge traffic in the Salish Sea (which includes the Puget Sound, Strait of Juan de Fuca, Strait of Georgia, Haro, and Rosario Straits); and
Create a plan and direct the marine debris interagency task force to coordinate cleanup of tsunami debris, if the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) director finds the level of debris to be a "severe marine debris event." The NOAA Administrator would have to make this designation within 30 days of the bill being signed into law.

MAC Oil Control Lotion Reviews
Oil Control?It's a steep price for a moisturizer, I'll be frank with that. Why? Because it's a moisturizer that claims to reduce oil. While it helped shine to a minimum for an hour or two, there was still the problem t-zone that was reflecting like any other day. I'd still prefer a primer over this. The smell is much like botanicals and the texture is simiar to Clinique's dramatically different gel or a ...read morebody lotion. It does moisturize well for quite some time but the oil control does half the job. For liquid foundations, it made me look shiny. For powder foundations, it made me dewy which can be flattering. Overall, not worth opening my wallet for though because it's not a staple for my cosmetic collection. I need more than what it gave me to be impressed. — 8 years, 10 months agoVLA | 336 reviews

Won't buy againI truly wanted to love this product, but it didn't live up to what it says it'll do. I used it and I saw no difference in oil control. I won't buy this again, especially since it was pricey. — 6 years agoiamtonito | 16 reviews
It helps!I bought this product in hopes of completely eliminating my out of control oily face. It works ok but it needs help from some other products as well. I use this with Urban Decay De-slick and it seems to work better. Its not too great on its own though. I still seem to be oily but not as oily. If your face is slightly oily then this may work great! :) — 6 years agomakeup_junk1e | 16 reviews
Love this productI'm all for oil free moisturizers and this is absolutely incredible. Yes, it doesn't last the whole day but after a night of sleep and a good wash of my face in the morning the moisturizer is so light weight and cool on my face. I feel it was a good investment seeing that it's summer, I only use about 3 pumps and my face looks and feel so soft. — 6 years, 3 months agoLynneE21 | 4 reviews

Worked well for me!I used this, in conjunction with the blotting powder (pressed) on my wedding day. I was FLAWLESS the entire 93 degree day!

The best llotion ever!I've been using this product for about 3 years now and wouldn't switch to another moisturizer if you paid me. This is the only moisturizer that I can use during all 4 seasons and still have amazing skin with little or no clogged pores. There's a very light scent, and it makes a great base for makeup if you're not using foundation. Use 2-3 pumps if you have dry skin like I sometimes have, and your skin will thank you! — 9 years, 4 months agochristinexcore | 28 reviews

I used to love you but Im over you now....I first thought this stuff was great- putting it on before makeup made the makeup last all day and best of all no more shine during the day. However my face seemed to be in an endless cycle of breakouts. After I switched to another primer my face cleared up. Too bad this caused me problems cuz it worked great and took forever to go thru a bottle of it. — 9 years, 7 months agoaudmac | 23 reviews
