Bruce Springsteen Gossip
Bruce Springsteen gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Springsteen in London
I remember during TIFF there would be these emails flying around about a possible Bruce Springsteen party. He came to the festival to promote his documentary The Promise: The Making of Darkness On The Edge of Town. Because, obviously, if there's any party you want to be at... well... that's the one, right? I mean everyone wants to be able to boast about "being latenight at xyz when Bruce jammed impromptu for a crowd of only 300", or something like that. Full Story

Articles › Visual/Perf Arts
8th Grade - Colors of the Night from Mrs. Brosnan
A wonderful example of continuing teaching "outside the class room".
First I took my students to The Museum Of Modern Art in Manhattan to view Vincent Van Gogh's "Colors of The Night" exhibit. The students were taken around the exhibit by a museum docent to learn about the the art work from the museum docents perspective. Upon returning back to school I uploaded pictures from the exhibit and created a VoiceThread posing questions to my students about what they had learned about the art work and gave them links on my schools e board where I posted this VoiceThread to help them answer the questions I had asked them.
My goal was to further enhance their Art History knowledge that by using VoiceThread enabled me to extend my teaching "outside of the class room". My objectives were met when I reviewed their responses to the questions posed and saw they had a greater understanding of the Art of Vincent Van Gogh.
Challenges or setbacks
The easiest part was uploading the pictures and enjoying all the different ways I was able to ask the students questions pertaining to the information I wished to address, ie. speaking, typing or enabling my mac to actually create a video-comment for them. The hardest part was constantly checking the comment moderator and opening the curtains.
The students used Photo Booth to create fun and exciting symbols after receiving ones from VoiceThread initially.
Just enjoy and have fun! I learned that by extending this application to my students I could really continue my teaching "outside the class room" in a fun and unique manner that was exciting for the students. In this age of technology when kids leave the class room they go on their computers at home to Facebook, video chat, my space etc. so why not give them an educational purpose to use their computer that is actually fun!
I have also used VoiceThread to have the students "vote" on each others "Edible Art Masterpieces" they created for an assignment in my Studio In Art Class!

The real reason why oil prices bottomed out last week has been completely overlooked by media pundits. Yet it may be the most important factor in oil pricing today.
You see, Saudi Aramco, Saudi Arabia's national oil company and the largest oil company in the world, is the bellwether for what all of OPEC is likely to do at any given time.
And last week, Saudi Aramco cut its prices to the Asian market significantly.
Here's why… and what that means for oil going forward…
The Export War for Asia Continues
Saudi Aramco's Asian price cut signals the next round in an increasingly bitter export war that will dictate broader global prices in the near term.
That's because of two overriding considerations.
First, as I have noted here in Oil & Energy Investor on several previous occasions, Asian demand progressively dictates what is going to happen in energy markets for at least the next two decades (and probably longer, but reliable projections don't yet exist beyond 2040).
All increases in end-user needs are centered there, with Asia and the Pacific region dictating the worldwide trends moving forward.
The international price of oil may be benchmarked by Brent (set daily in London) and WTI (West Texas Intermediate, determined in New York) but the driver is Asia's growing appetite for energy.
And crude oil heads the list of what is being impacted…
The Saudi Oil Strategy is Working Everywhere but Asia
Second, the Saudi strategy has been to build additional export volume into the current market glut, thereby grabbing share from other producing countries. That has served its intentions adequately in other parts of the world.
But it has continued to lose ground in the primary target of Asia.
There, the primary competition continues to come from Russia and, to a lesser extent, from rising volume from both Iraq and Iran. In fact, this competition over Asia has been one of the primary reasons for the shift in OPEC policy, from cutting exports to protecting market share.
As I observed here in Oil & Energy Investor following OPEC's 2014 "Thanksgiving Day Surprise" – the decision not to cut supply, and instead to keep pumping to protect market position – Asia had been an immediate concern even beyond the impact of US shale producers.
Now, Asia traditionally pays a premium for oil import shipments, above the price normally paid for by buyers in Europe or the U.S. Gulf Coast. The main Asian refinery complexes are also configured to use crude with a higher sulfur content (also known as "sour" crude).
As it happens, Saudi Arabia's, Russia's, Iraq's, and Iran's primary oil output is sour, setting the stage for this battle over Asia.
But in 2012, Moscow finished building the East Siberia-Pacific Ocean (ESPO) pipeline from Siberia to northeastern China. The ESPO pipeline runs a new, lower-sulfur grade crude (which Russia has proposed calling the ESPO benchmark grade).
This oil is "sweeter" (read: has lower sulfur content) than the usual Urals Blend Export coming from Russia, which is accomplished by taking out the very sour export volume from Bashkortostan and Tatarstan.
This was achieved by giving the domestic companies Bashneft and Tatneft discounts to redirect their oil supply to Russian refineries.
What this means is that, from the very beginning, the ESPO pipeline was targeting Asia with oil that not only was of better quality than that provided by the Saudis, but was being sold at prices that reduced or even eliminated the premium over Saudi oil.
The Saudi intention with the OPEC November 2014 policy shift was to drive the Asian price of oil below the level at which Russia could afford exporting ESPO oil to the continent. This is why OPEC maintained (and then increased) their oil export levels. The immediate target was Russia and Asia, not the U.S. and American shale production.
And OPEC's strategy worked. For a while…
Russia is Rejoining the Fight for Asian Oil Exports
Initially, Russia pulled back exports to Asia followed by both the Russian economy and the ruble collapsing. In addition to combating continuing Western sanctions over its conflict with Ukraine, the Russian central budget also struggled (and continues to struggle) with lower-than-predicted proceeds from oil and natural gas exports.
That budget had initially been based on crude trading at $80 a barrel. By the time oil had moved to $30 per barrel (and below) earlier this year, the Kremlin was in panic.
Matters in Russia have now stabilized somewhat, although last week's latest decline in crude prices has brought back some of the angst. What has changed most, however, is the attitude.
With the bulk of the damage to Russia already done, Moscow has decided to bite the bullet and rejoin the battle for the Asian oil consumer.
Realizing that the Saudi/OPEC decision to flood the oil market was meant to intensify the glut and drive Russia out, the Kremlin has decided to reply with increased exports, despite the guaranteed losses that come with doing so at current prices.
Of course, the caveat here is Moscow's ability to sustain increased production in the face of a triple whammy: financial losses from these exports to Asia; declining extraction rates from Russia's main oil fields in Western Siberia; and an increasingly desperate lack of both working capital and technical expertise.
But Saudi Arabia isn't giving up yet, and has tightened the screw by reducing the price for its exports to Asia. Riyadh calculates that their advantages in very low production costs and (at least apparently) ample reserves will win out over what may be an increasingly desperate move from Russia.
Meanwhile, Asian consumers are likely to reap the benefits – lower gasoline and energy prices – from this latest game of "oil chicken."

Chris Brown's Dad Speaks Out
Chris Brown's biological father is opening up about the altercation between his son and Rihanna. Clinton Brown, a 44-year-old corrections officer, tells People, "He's reflecting on this situation. He's very remorseful. He's very concerned about the situation and he wants to make sure that [Rihanna's] okay. This is unfortunate, this stumble, this situation. Hopefully, he will get past it. We all have our shortcomings. We all trip… This music industry is very unforgiving when it comes to having indiscretions. He will continue to be a good person. He loves people. And like most of us, most humans, things will occur. And hopefully a person won't be judged simply on that alone." Thanks justjared.com.

With 800 titles available in their catalogue, New York based Lloyd Kaufman has made a huge success of Troma. He's done it by putting his tush to the seat and just doing it. The author of Make Your Own Movie, Produce Your Own Movie and Direct Your Own Movie from Focal Press, his advice to new filmmakers is "Be passionate about what you're doing. You don't have to go to film school to learn how to make a movie. " With the access of the internet and all the new (relatively inexpensive) technology available, you don't have to wait to develop relationships in Hollywood. As someone who gave a start to Kevin Costner in Sizzle Beach USA, Lloyd likes taking little known but talented young people and giving them roles and jobs on his films.
One of his tricks in shooting low budget is to take a locale that is seldom used. The people are so excited about being in a movie that they will often give you locations, etc for free. Then you can throw every penny onto the screen. This includes special effects, as were used in The Return to Nuke'Em High. This was $500,000 but a film that his associate Justin Martell just did "Mr. Bricks: A Heavy Metal Murder Musical" was done for as little as $3,500! Father's Day was done for only $15,000.
A lot of the films are somewhat raunchy and are designed to appeal to the young male audience.
Lloyd comes up with most of the ideas, himself, often out of today's headlines, and then partners with other writers once he has the theme and story worked out. He does films about gay lifestyle, bullying, women's rights, and even healthy eating. "Entertainment mingles with education. Writers are the real talent. Writing is the hard part. They don't get their just respects since it all starts with the story." All of Lloyd's stories, even if they seem to be parodies or take offs, have a message. Look at Toxic Avenger, the story of the teen who fell into a vast of toxic waste. It now has comic books, a musical and several sequels.
A Yale graduate, his family wanted him to go into business, but he got hooked on filmmaking. "Family might not approve of what you are doing. You have to be around people who support you. The biggest problem is that parents often don't think you're serious about making the movie. When you finish the project - the movie or the script you are writing, your parents will see.
As far as directing, he says that there are no real secrets. "People want to make it seem mysterious, but it's not. I let the actors lead me where they want to go and trust their instincts. I don't give them a lot of instruction."
He does do distributing of other films and each film is a case by case situation. "Often filmmakers are not realistic about what to expect. Just because they have made the film, doesn't mean it gets a theatrical release." In fact, it doesn't have to go into the theatre. You don't always break even by going to a theatre because there is so much more P & A that has to be done. He doesn't mind file sharing and YouTube because all that means is, by word of mouth, his films are getting out there. Poultrygeist, which opened in only one theatre, was one of the highest grossing in America. "You can't deal with the studio system without getting fucked."

|This thesis uses a geographic information system (GIS) to demonstrate spatial analysis techniques in order to examine changes to a prehistoric society of Native American Wappo dating from 2450 to 1950 years before present (BP) from the Upper Archaic Period in the Napa Valley of California. This cemetery was excavated by Pacific Legacy Inc., a private cultural resources management firm, in compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for a flood control project. While Pacific Legacy Inc. analyzed the burials on an individual basis, they did not conduct a spatial analysis. They incorporated their data into a simple spreadsheet to look for patterns. This thesis serves as a complimentary spatial examination of the burials based on spatial data. ❧ The dataset is incomplete as it was not collected using a consistent, systematic methodology. Additional burials related to the dataset had also been removed from the site before excavation by erosion and other archaeological excavations. This paper demonstrates select spatial analysis techniques using this dataset as an example. ❧ This thesis examines the distribution of the burials within the cemetery to identify spatial patterns based on burial attributes and artifact distribution. Spatial autocorrelation, cluster analysis, and grouping analysis focus on identifying burial clusters and individual burial outliers. ❧ A form of interpolation known as kriging was used to estimate the dates for the burials that were not subjected to Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) Radiocarbon dating. The burials were then grouped into corresponding date ranges covering one hundred year time spans. This experimental study allows for identification of changes to society by analyzing the change in burial attributes and artifact types over the course of the Upper Archaic Period. Due to the incomplete nature of the dataset, only two conclusions could be reached with the remaining findings considered suggestive. There is clustering based on bone preservation and the spatial analysis results tend to vary depending on different excavation techniques. Possible clustering of depth, wealth diversity index, directly associated shell beads, and directly associated pendants may reflect certain aspects of ancient society. The possible clustering of artifact association, total tools, tool diversity index, indirectly associated bifaces, indirectly associated edge-modified flakes, indirectly associated unifaces, and indirectly associated pestles can likely be explained due to differing excavation techniques. Possible clustering of natural obsidian needles may be explained as naturally occurring in the soil. Dental caries were found to be possibly dispersed, which is likely just a random occurrence. The experimental radiocarbon date interpolation allowed for an examination of changes to CA-NAP- 399 over a five hundred year period. Thus results from the analyses in this report should not be seen as definitive nor should they be used as foundations for further archaeological analysis. The main purpose here is to demonstrate how spatial analysis may be used with data of this type.

Car Expenses
To take a business deduction for the use of your car, you must determine what percentage of the vehicle was used for business. No deduction is allowed for strictly personal use, such as commuting.
Deductible car expenses can include the cost of: 1) traveling from one workplace to another, 2) making business trips to visit customers or attending business meetings away from your regular workplace, and 3) traveling to temporary workplaces.
It is important to keep complete records to substantiate items reported on a tax return. In the case of car and truck expenses, the types of records required depend on whether you claim the standard mileage rate or actual expenses.
Standard mileage rate: To claim the standard mileage rate, appropriate records would include documentation identifying the vehicle and proving ownership or a lease and documentation showing miles traveled, destination and business purpose. The 2012 standard mileage rates for the use of a car (including vans, pickups or panel trucks) are on www.irs.gov, search: standard mileage rate. If you want to use the standard mileage rate for a car you own, you must choose to use it in the first year the car is available for use in your business. Then in later years, you can choose to use either the standard deduction or actual expenses.
Actual expenses: For actual expenses, add your annual car operating expenses, including gas, oil, tires, repairs, license fees, lease payments, registration fees, garage rental, insurance and depreciation. Multiply the car operating expenses by the percentage of business usage to arrive at your deductible expense. Business-related parking and road tolls are fully deductible expenses that do not have to be reduced by the percentage of business usage. See Publication 463, Travel, Entertainment, Gift and Car Expenses, for additional information.
Travel Expenses
Travel expenses are "ordinary and necessary" expenses while away from home for the primary purpose of business. Keep all receipts and relevant documentation to substantiate where you went, why, for how long, and amount spent. If you combined business and personal travel, show how much is related to business.
Lodging receipts: These should show the travel location, duration of your stay, costs and expenses. Keep records for cleaning and laundry, telephone charges, tips, and other charges not shown separately.
Transportation receipts: These include airplane, train or bus ticket stubs, travel agency receipts, rental car or taxi receipts, etc., showing the amounts, dates and destinations.
Meal receipts: Generally, you must keep a log of your meal expenses and save receipts for amounts of $75 or more. The meal receipt must show the: 1) name and location of the restaurant, 2) the number of people served, 3) the date and amount of the expense. Either track the actual costs of your meals, or use the standard meal allowance, if you qualify. You may only claim a deduction for 50 percent of the unreimbursed cost of your meals.
Business Use of Your Home
If you use part of your home for business, you may be able to deduct expenses for the business use of your home. These expenses may include mortgage interest, insurance, utilities, repairs and depreciation. To qualify, you must meet both of the following tests.
The business part of your home must be used exclusively and regularly for your trade or business. However, there are exceptions for daycare facilities or storage of inventory/product samples.
The business part of your home must be:
- Your principal place of business, or,
- A place where you meet or deal with patients, clients or customers in the normal course of your trade or business, or,
- A separate structure (not attached to your home) used in connection with your trade or business.
For a full explanation of tax deductions for your home office refer to Publication 587, Business Use of Your Home.
Entertainment Expenses
Entertainment includes any activity generally considered to provide entertainment, amusement or recreation. Generally, to be deductible for tax purposes, you must show that entertainment expenses (including meals) are directly related to, or associated with, the conduct of your trade or business. You must also have records to prove the business purpose (under the applicable test) and the amount of each expense, the date and place of the entertainment, and the business relationship of the persons entertained. Entertainment expenses are usually subject to a 50 percent limit.
Gift Expenses
If you give gifts in the course of your trade or business, you can deduct all or part of the cost. Generally, you can deduct no more than $25 for business gifts you give directly or indirectly to each person during your tax year.
See Publication 463, Travel, Entertainment, Gift and Car Expenses, and Publication 535, Business Expenses, for additional information.

MARRIAGE DIGEST: N.H. citizens say they want to vote on marriage amendment
CONCORD, N.H. (BP)--New Hampshire's legislature may not want voters to have a say on the issue of "gay marriage," but citizens who voted during March town meetings nevertheless made it clear they want a constitutional marriage amendment on the ballot.
Of the 92 towns that voted on the issue, 64 percent of them agreed to a resolution stating that "citizens of New Hampshire should be allowed to vote on an amendment to the New Hampshire Constitution that defines 'marriage.'" The votes were non-binding but still give an idea of the mood of the electorate on the controversial issue.
New Hampshire's Democratic legislature passed a bill last year legalizing "gay marriage" -- it was signed by Democratic Gov. John Lynch -- but has turned back efforts to put a constitutional marriage amendment on the ballot. Such an amendment must originate in the legislature.
The effort to put the issue on the agenda of town meetings was organized by state Rep. David Bates.
"Many, many thousands, tens of thousands of people disagree with the definition of 'marriage' being redefined," Bates, a Republican, told The Citizen newspaper in Laconia, N.H. "... The issue here is we as a society have been compelled now to recognize a relationship that most people, just by the plain definition of the word, do not believe is what marriage is."
Supporters of "gay marriage," though, have rejected the notion that people are demanding a vote. They point to the towns that tabled the measure and chose not to vote. All total, 59 towns passed the resolution, 33 defeated it, and 33 tabled it. Opponents of "gay marriage" disagree with that argument and note that liberal groups such as New Hampshire Freedom to Marry Coalition and Granite State Progress worked hard to keep the issue off town agendas.
"They deliberately ignore the fact that the Article passed by an overwhelming majority of the citizens who actually voted on it," a blog post at LetNHVote.com, where the results are posted, reads.
The fact that state law does not allow citizens to gather petitions and place a constitutional amendment on the ballot has been particularly frustrating for the law's opponents, who watched voters in border state Maine overturn a "gay marriage" law last year. "Gay marriage" has been rejected in all 31 states where it has been placed on the ballot.
Conservatives in the state believe their only hope to get an amendment on the ballot may be to flip the House and Senate from Democrat to Republican. Every House and Senate seat will be on the ballot in November. "Gay marriage" did not become law until Democrats won back the House and Senate in 2006.
PROP 8 TRIAL SLOWS DOWN -- The federal trial over California's constitutional marriage amendment has slowed down significantly as both sides battle over whether opponents of the amendment -- known as Prop 8 -- should have to release internal documents from the 2008 campaign.
Supporters of Prop 8 were forced earlier this year to release some but not all of their internal documents from the '08 campaign, and they subsequently argued in court that the other side -- consisting partially of the ACLU and Equality California -- should have to release some of their documents as well. A federal magistrate agreed, saying the ACLU and Equality California should release their '08 documents, and federal Judge Vaughn Walker upheld the magistrate's decision. But the ACLU and Equality California are appealing Walker's ruling.
The trial before Walker took place in January but closing arguments have yet to be scheduled. The trial could impact not only California but every other state that has passed an amendment prohibiting "gay marriage."

The IEEE 802.15.4 specification limits packet sizes to 127 bytes.BTW ... All docs, software, scripts, examples, projects, user Q/A can be found under Support /Synapse SNAP forum
Yeah but I gotta register to look at that...
Looks like they cost from $25 to $40 a piece.Looks comparable in price but a with a 3 mile range.....
The same way you registered on this forum ... use any username you want ... no purchase necessary.
Especially if they do a side by side comparison between XBees.
What I'm disappointed is at times, the sales guy always ask questions like how much is your consumption per year and how big is your company, etc. No doubt, the Synapse products are awesome products, I just wish that they have a wider distribution network like the XBee. Embarrassed
I'm designing a wireless sensor network that will need to operate in a mesh layout. I came across the Synapse RF engines a few weeks ago and they look like they're a really easy way to throw a bunch of nodes out and have them create a mesh automatically. I'll need an arduino at each location anyway, so maybe it's overkill and I could go with the XBees instead. Are the Xbee units easy to set up in a mesh for a noob like me, or should I go with the Synapse ones since they also have the Portal software and the USB snap stick which gives me a pretty good headstart?
Is this like the XBee?

The career trajectory of Mac Rebennack - aka Dr John, aka The Night Tripper - is a one of survival, grit and a lifetime devotion to the dirtier and spookier end of funk and blues. Creator of a unique blend of playful and rumbling voodoo sounds from the swamp surroundings and speakeasies of New Orleans, he has reeled out a continual line of fine records that stretch well beyond his famed 1968 Gris Gris debut; dipping his toe along the way into production, session musicianship, Spiritualized records and even Disney soundtracks. But in the 44 years he's been present on the music scene, despite seldom disappointing in either the live or studio arena, he's largely remained out of the mainstream. Never an artist in full spotlight glare, he's nevertheless always been waiting in the wings with a devilish swagger and a wickedly growled counterpoint.
Of course, with 2012 being 2012 anything legendary, grizzled and with a direct path back to the classics is always considered ripe for rediscovery. And so it is with Locked Down – Rebennack's first record for Nonesuch Records - where we find the pianist and composer paired with The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach on production duties. The press release does raise initial fears of this being an attempt to cattle-prod Rebennack to being 'down with the kids' and stir memories of the myriad horrors that can arise from such approach (I still cry bitter and searing tears of rage when I think of Frank Sinatra's Duets album). The premise of Mac being coaxed to record with a group of hand-selected younger musicians does fill you with a sense of unease; imagining attempts to 'freshen it up a bit' resulting in a loathsome homogenisation of the restless, swaying synergy of Dr John's classic sound.
The fact that Locked Down not only avoids this pitfall, but actually ends up brilliantly accentuating, respecting, amplifying and viscerally channelling Rebbeneck's music is a true credit to the work of him and Auerbach on this project. As someone who has never really understood the fuss and hype around The Black Keys, it is a truly pleasant surprise to note the intelligence, restraint and (when needed) venom that Auerbach injects into the snapping guitars, winding bass and (most impressively) the taut, red-hot horn section that peppers and prods at the record.
The blurb on the press release is that of Auerbach being a long-term fan and this immediately strikes home from the moment the Mingus-bass, burbling organ, razor guitar and ghostly backing of the opening title track lumber magnificently towards you. The whole thing is cranked up to such an extent that at times, Rebennack has to fight hard to put his points forward through the mix and in doing this, creates a restless storm on tracks such as 'Revolution' and 'Getaway': railing at the world with a steely, funky scorn that resonates more honestly through the halls of age and experience. But that's not to say that he can't still find time to loosen it all up. 'Big Shot' is a glorious groove of polished, rolling braggadocio; weaving amongst slabs of brass with a twinkle in its eye. There's a thread of Afrobeat weaved through 'Ice Age'; a slow-burning jazz-funk landscape which suddenly rises into an anthemic chorus on the exceptional 'My Children, My Angels', and the whole thing concludes with the anger finally burned off on 'God's Sure Good': the Doctor reflecting on the positives around him and towing the spirits on a blissful sea of organ, rusty guitar and choral echoes. Superbly paced, sharply crafted and bang-on-the-nail in terms of focus; the album says precisely what it needs to before striding off into the gathering darkness; gospel preached and feet broadly encouraged to move.
Too much is often made of collaborations and the meeting of young and old. More often than not, they result in transient pieces of flotsam that smack of a clueless label being unable to handle a classic artist in the modern age. Locked Down however, could not be further from such facile 'reinventions'. It admirably manages to maximise the drive and skills of both Rebennack and Auerbach (as well as the musicians on display who may be young, but lack nothing in soul, flair and intelligence) towards the creation of something profound and memorable. A lean, bare-chested and sweat-bathed beast of an album; it rattles along with energy, mystery, swirling swamp-mist and a delectable gumbo of cultural influences and razor-sliced spice. Most impressively of all, it comfortably lives up to the promise that Auerbach apparently made to the Doctor that he would help him craft 'the best record you've made in a long time'.

Chaplain's Corner
Short essays written for the La Jolla Veteran's Hospital newsletter in La Jolla, California
Recently I happened to see an episode of a reality TV series that centered on the learning and personal conflicts of a group of students at a well-known high-end United States culinary school. The struggles of two female students were particularly noteworthy and point out the important need for the support of others for achieving our aspirations in life.
The older of the two students was married to a husband who not only did not encourage her but actively denigrated and tried to sabotage anything she did to achieve her goal of becoming a chef. The other, a very attractive young unmarried mother of a toddler, held on to a job in a 'gentlemen's club' - distasteful to her, but a financial necessity. She frankly admitted being ashamed of her work, and that her family would be also. However, her family, especially her aloof mother, disapproved of any endeavor she might engage in.
The episode portrayed an attempt by both students to use the culinary skills they had learned thus far to succeed in a task that would significantly advance their career goal. The first student obtained the owner's permission to take over a restaurant on a day when it was closed to make and serve a breakfast. Her husband initially, though reluctantly, agreed to help her, but then immediately undermined her by slowing down all he did and by then walking out, leaving her with a drastic need to make up the time to serve the long waiting customers. The younger student made a dinner for her parents (for her a milestone) but her frowning and sarcastic mother fired jibes at her, including a question presented as a statement "If I don't like it do I have eat it?" In both cases, however, others came to the support of the students. The restaurant owner and customers gave the older student great accolades on the taste, preparation and uniqueness of the breakfast. The young mother's father, and eventually her mother, told her how unbelievably wonderfully the meal was prepared. And her mother admitted that it had been better than she could have done. The emotional uplift felt by these 'student-chef's' from those who did support them was heart wrenching and is a lesson for all of us.
There is certainly a spiritual connection in giving support to others. In the book of Genesis, after slaying his brother Abel, Cain responds to God's inquiry about Abel by saying: "Am I my brother's keeper?" (Gn 4: 9). Obviously the answer is yes. In Islam there is a tradition that those who have been blessed by God have an obligation to use those blessings to help others."i Buddhism emphasizes helpfulness to others as viewing self as brother: "I am my brother."ii
And this can even be done in small ways if we become open to the opportunities, like thanking a store clerk by name (they have name badges) and noticing the help given by the bagger; looking directly at a homeless person when giving some food, seeing them as persons. As the book of Proverbs reminds us: "To make an apt answer is a joy to a man, and a word in season, how good it is!" (15:23). Sometimes just an encouraging smile is as good as a supportive word.
In Christian Sacred Scripture, St. Paul tells the Romans "to keep the things that are for the edification of one another." (14: 19) This would mean that we would want to uplift one another and certainly not put stumbling blocks of denigration and discouragement in their way. Likewise, St. Paul tells the Hebrews (10: 24): ". . .let us consider one another to provoke unto charity and unto good works." Our Eastern Church Father St. Isaac the Syrian makes quite explicit the meaning and high value of these words: "For the help given . . .how they help us by a word in the time of necessity or offer up in prayer in our behalf."iii

Hit play.
Embrace pause.
It's an inviting beat. Somewhere between a march and a dance. The Pied Piper should have bought a drum kit instead of one of those cheap-ass magic pipes you can get down the market for a quid. This is definitely the beat that he'd have used to distract the city rats from their determined efforts to get inside people's cavity walls and under their bathtubs. You hear the beat, you turn and follow. It ushers in a gentle howl of controlled feedback. And so Specters begins. It's a concise lesson in how to convert an expectant crowd on first listen.
Once lured in. it is an album of brevities. Every time a song feels as though it's on the tipping point of becoming a drawn-out, grandiose jam, it's clipped, with perfect timing. Too much of a good thing becomes a gross thing; we know this. It's like having your dinner taken away from you at the crucial moment that hunger turns to greed; you quickly learn to savour the taste. As each plate is carefully withdrawn, there is no more gorging on layers of sound. There's no space for over-indulgence here; just the whispering, confident ambition that Wu (formerly of This Et Al) has brought with him to Stalking Horse.
Specters is also an album of variety. It may not be immediately apparent, as Wu's voice is a commanding common thread that binds the various components of Stalking Horse. But mid-way through the experience, the piano-led 'Mistress' begins, lending the album an altogether lighter feel. It's a highlight of the album, too, playing into the operatic tendencies of Specters. As Wu sings "there's no food on the table / you're laughing at his bedside manner" in his strangled, emotive falsetto, he conjures a gothic scene, begging for a dramatic stage play to soundtrack. This is the beauty of Stalking Horse's debut; each track encapsulates a mood, tells a story and does so thoughtfully, deftly, with an artistry that is equal parts considered, eloquent and inspired. The mood of each track is treated delicately. Wu gives the story as much space as the sound, reigning in his distinctive vocal when it threatens to overwhelm, tempered with delicate piano riffs, haunting guitar lines, subtle, cushioned percussion.
Wu's last band This Et Al were somewhat overshadowed by the dross that inevitably rises to the top when a city's musical wealth gets plundered by those in search of a marketing plan. The voracious feasting on Leeds' music, which occurred in the mid-Noughties may have left a bitter taste in Wu's mouth, but it seems to have freed up other creative avenues; there's a lightness of touch, here, a playful streak and a determined ebullience that marks Specters with a seal of quality. Now that he's gathered up old comrades and cohorts (members of This et Al, These Monsters and Grammatics amongst them), Stalking Horse appears to be the sound of a man capitalising on healed wounds and a fresh self-sufficiency.

Consumer Reports: 45% of adults skip out on prescriptions, medical care because of costs
(CBS News) Almost half - 46 percent of U.S. adults take prescription drugs. But, rising costs are stopping a vast number of people from filling their prescriptions or going to the doctor.
Consumer Reports: 10 hidden dangers of vitamins
Consumer Reports spotlights arsenic, lead in 10 juices
Consumer Reports' annual prescription drug poll discovered that 45 percent of adults under the age of 65 skipped getting a prescription and 63 percent didn't go to the doctor's office when they were sick in order to save money. The numbers jumped 19 and 16 percentage points respectively since 2011.
"Americans are in serious financial distress and now, more than ever, they need to be thinking about their health. With everything we know about the relationship between stress and health, it is very worrisome to think that people aren't getting the care they need," Dr. John Santa, director of the Consumer Reports Health Ratings Center, said in a press release.
The poll was conducted by the Consumer Reports National Research Center, which conducted 1,158 interviews with adults 18 and older over the phone. On average, people who take prescription drugs had at 4.1 prescriptions.
"When it comes to prescription drugs, consumers are spending on average $63 out of pocket every month, which can easily swallow up a big portion of the family budget. It's even worse for those without insurance for medicines, who pay upwards of $91 a month for their prescriptions. We recommend several cost-cutting strategies, such as the $4 a month generic programs at the big-box and chain pharmacies, and if you aren't already taking a generic, talk to your doctor about switching," Lisa Gill, Consumer Reports prescription drugs editor, said in a press release.
The study also revealed that 62 percent of people under 65 did not go through with a medical test because of cost and 51 percent put off a medical procedure. Overall, 81 percent admitted to skipping out on a medical-related procedure, test, visit or prescription.
Consumers were seen cutting costs in other areas of their life as well, the survey found. Twenty-eight percent of adults under 65 with prescription drug benefits and 58 percent without said they cut back on entertainment and dining out. Twenty-one percent of adults with coverage and 46 percent without reduced the amount of groceries they bought, and 14 percent of adults with coverage and 22 percent without admitted to using their credit cards more.
But one person the responders weren't complaining about finances to was their doctor. Sixty-eight percent said they were uncomfortable talking to their pharmacist about money issues, while 47 percent said talking to their physician about a lack of funds was not on the table.
"This is a very serious red flag. Patients need to speak up, but doctors have a role too. An important part of a physician's professional obligations includes assistance navigating stressful financial times - especially when part of the stress is related to the health care a physician orders or provides. For most physicians, their goal is to care for the whole patient not just the portion carrying the wallet," said Santa.

What is a dip dye wedding dresses
Wedding dress, dip dye wedding dresses – the dream of every woman! We all want to be real goddesses in this outfit: beautiful, luxurious, sexy …
Wedding and dip dye wedding dresses
A Wedding is our day, Brides day, triumph)) On this day you are the queen, and your outfit should be gorgeous.
However, this is not a reason to enter into a rage and assume that the dip dye wedding dresses is the most important thing at your wedding! In the brides forums, I often encounter such a distribution of the budget: a dip dye wedding dresses – $ 5000, a photographer – $ 2000. But what is the point of investing in a beautiful outfit, if you do not see it later on such beautiful frames? A low-professional photographer is unlikely to convey all the beauty of your dip dye wedding dresses, or even simply light it up in a photo, turning it into a large white spot.
Budget and dip dye wedding dresses
Distribute the budget rationally – in the first place should be key expenses. The optimal cost for a dip dye wedding dresses is a maximum of 10% of the total budget of the celebration. Always keep this figure in your head and do not allow yourself to go beyond it. And most importantly – know: to combine a really high-quality, beautiful dip dye wedding dresses and economy are more than real!
It is much more important to decide on the style of the celebration, then select the appropriate celebration site, key specialists – and only then begin the search for a dress! Believe me, you will have time to do everything – the choice of dip dye wedding dresses today is huge, for every taste and wallet.

I read an interview where they actually asked him that, but all he would do was laugh and not say. He just said it wasn't 13 inches.
Also, there are 3 (that I know of) frontal nude pix of him on the web, but it's a probability they are fakes. (the debate goes on!) They can do wonders with digital CG now... I think Mark would rather "give the appearance of" being nude, than to actually show everything--in poses, that is.
In movies, well...that's a different story!
He has already done some butt shots, so who knows what will be next?

Annie is right, the pictures of Mark in the nude are fakes. For the longest time I thought they were real but I found a site that said that they were fakes. I also read an interview where Mark himself stated that he would not pose in the nude - he didn't want to have to deal with his friends and family (little less himself) having to deal with him doing something like that.
In the movie "The Big Hit" you will notice that he didn't have to do any nude scenes like the others did. He told the director "been there, done that". He doesn't want to do things like that if he can get away from it.
Sure he did it in B/N but that is one of the things that help start his career and he knows it.
I appreciate him being more into the actual acting scene and not into the nude scenes. Sure he has the perfect body but lets see what he can do with his clothes on!
There is more to Mark then just his body and good looks.

I also saw him in an interview where he mentioned that in "The Corruptor", in the brothel scenes, they wanted him to lie on his back and the girl to really pump it, but he did not want to do it that way.
I'm very glad that the man knows where to draw the line, and that he values his privacy, and at least SOME decency! And, that he cares about his family and friends enuff to consider their feelings on that.

Okay, no, there are no real nude pics of Mark on the web. Also, the scene of him in B/N is with a prosthetic, so don't get too excited! (or scared?) Sorry to disappoint, or you're welcome for the reasurance, whichever...
Hope you all had a great weekend!

In a webcast on AOL, the Dirictor of Boogie Nights replyed to the question "Why did you decide to cast Mark Wahlberg as the part of Dirk Diggler?" (Im paraphrasing) The Dirictor replied "Well Mark does have a 13 inch ***** so i guess its type casting." Obivously he was kidding because Mark does have a tremondous amount of talent but . . .hey I can believe it! (sorry about the spelling errors Im the worst)

Well I'm glad that Mark knows when far is too far, as for doing those movies where it involves those type of scenes. He seems like a really sensible guy who knows how to respect himself and the people who watch his movies, and knows when its just going too far. Quoted by Mark, he said in an interview something like: "I vowed that when I started in the acting business that I would never sing, dance or take my clothes off. In Boogie Nights, I did all three." Its not exact, word for word, but he said something like that anyways. Well I'm glad Mark is that type of guy, cuz he deserves all the best for who he is.
Luv, Isabelle

Harvard rivals claim smoking gun in Facebook 'code theft' case
'See you in court... bitch'
The founders of ConnectU, an also-ran social network that emerged from Harvard University around the same time as Facebook, are renewing their charge that Mark Zuckerberg stole their ideas, amid claims of new "smoking gun" instant messenger evidence.
ConnectU was founded by twins Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, contemporaries of Zuckerberg who employed him to do some coding on their site before he ran off to create Facebook.
The warring rich Ivy League white guys had reached a settlement in April, but on Tuesday ConnectU told a federal court in Boston that it wants out of the deal. A recent forensic search of Facebook's hard drives turned up IM logs that it reckons would prove its case, Bloomberg reports.
Judge Douglas Woodlock was unsympathetic to the change of heart. He said: "The parties chose to do what they did [to settle the case] based on imperfect knowledge of what the outcome of the case might be. You knew at the time you entered into the agreement it wasn't complete."
ConnectU's attorney John Hornick said: "If we are forced into a settlement, the next step is going to be a fraud claim."
ConnectU doesn't actually currently know exactly what's in the IM logs. Part of the deal they cut that allowed their forensics expert access to the Facebook drives prohibited him from revealing specific details of anything other than software code.
Woodlock said the expert had "nevertheless, obliquely given ConnectU's attorneys reason to believe that there were documents, other than produced program code, on the Facebook hard drives relevant to the case which had not been disclosed".
A decsion on whether ConnectU can pull out of the settlement and renew its suit for copyright infringement and theft of trade secrets is set for 23 June in San Jose. Facebook is pursuing a counter-suit against the Winklevoss twins on the west coast. It alleges they nicked user data from Facebook directories while both were still based at Harvard. ®

I love Petra, she's a huge friend and more precise than a swiss clock !!!
I would like all agents will be like her ...
hew woodman I dont say any thing about petro I say that we sent 3 mails for all agencies to get a meeting and talk about the work and talk about STD test for models to be every 21 days not every one month and no answer that is all not only petra but for all agencies
I hope one day the all agencies in Czech they understand money is not every thing and start request from models and from producers to do full STD every 21 days not every one month as some small agencies give a model antibiotic week before the STD then they looks like healthy

This relativity of time clears up a very important matter. The relativity is so variable that a period of time appearing billions of years' duration to us, may last only a second in another dimension. Moreover, an enormous period of time extending from the world's beginning to its end may not even last a second but just an instant in another dimension.
This is the very essence of the concept of destiny- a concept that is not well understood by most people, especially materialists, who deny it completely. Destiny is Allah's perfect knowledge of all events past or future. A majority of people question how Allah can already know events that have not yet been experienced and this leads them to fail in understanding the authenticity of destiny. However, "events not yet experienced" are not yet experienced only for us. Allah is not bound by time or space for He Himself has created them. For this reason, the past, the future, and the present are all the same to Allah; for Him, everything has already taken place and finished.
Lincoln Barnett explains how the Theory of General Relativity leads to this fact in The Universe and Dr. Einstein: According to Barnett, the universe can be "encompassed in its entire majesty only by a cosmic intellect".23 The will that Barnett calls "the cosmic intellect" is the wisdom and knowledge of Allah, Who prevails over the entire universe. Just as we easily see a ruler's beginning, middle, and end, and all the units in between as a whole, Allah knows the time we are subjected to like a single moment right from its beginning to the end. People experience incidents only when their time comes and they witness the fate Allah has created for them.
It is also important to draw attention to the shallowness of the distorted understanding of destiny prevalent in society. This distorted conviction of fate holds a superstitious belief that Allah has determined a "destiny" for every man but that these destinies can sometimes be changed by people. For instance, for a patient who returns from death's door people make superficial statements like "He defeated his destiny". Yet, no one is able to change his destiny. The person who turns from death's door does not die because he is destined not to die then. It is again the destiny of those people who deceive themselves by saying "I defeated my destiny" to say so and maintain such a mindset.
Destiny is the eternal knowledge of Allah and for Allah, Who knows time like a single moment and Who prevails over the whole time and space, everything is determined and finished in a destiny. We also understand from what is related in the Qur'an that time is one for Allah: some incidents that appear to happen to us in the future are related in the Qur'an in such a way that they already took place long before. For instance, the verses that describe the account that people are to give to Allah in the hereafter are related as events which already occurred long ago:
And the trumpet is blown, and all who are in the heavens and all who are in the earth swoon away, save him whom Allah willeth. Then it is blown a second time, and behold them standing waiting! And the earth shineth with the light of her Lord, and the Book is set up, and the prophets and the witnesses are brought, and it is judged between them with truth, and they are not wronged... And those who disbelieve are driven unto hell in troops... And those who disbelieve are driven unto hell in troops..." (Surat az-Zumar, 68-74)
Some other verses on this subject are:
And every soul came, along with it a driver and a witness. (Surat al-Qaf, 21)
And the heaven is cloven asunder, so that on that day it is frail (Surat al-Haaqqa, 16)
And because they were patient and constant, He rewarded them with a Garden and (garments of) silk. Reclining in the (Garden) on raised thrones, they saw there neither the sun's (excessive heat) nor excessive cold. (Surat al-Insan, 12-13)
And Hell is placed in full view for (all) to see. (Surat an-Naziat, 36)
But on this Day the Believers laugh at the Unbelievers (Surat al-Mutaffifin, 34)
And the Sinful saw the fire and apprehended that they have to fall therein: no means did they find to turn away therefrom. (Surat al-Kahf, 53)
As may be seen, occurrences that are going to take place after our death (from our point of view) are related as already experienced and past events in the Qur'an. Allah is not bound by the relative time frame that we are confined in. Allah has willed these things in timelessness: people have already performed them and all these events have been lived through and ended. It is imparted in the verse below that every event, be it big or small, is within the knowledge of Allah and recorded in a book:
In whatever business thou mayest be, and whatever portion thou mayest be reciting from the Qur'an,- and whatever deed ye (mankind) may be doing,- We are witnesses thereof when ye are deeply engrossed therein. Nor is hidden from thy Lord (so much as) the weight of an atom on the earth or in heaven. And not the least and not the greatest of these things but are recorded in a clear record. (Surah Jonah, 61)
While the fact that matter and time is a perception alarms materialists, just the opposite holds true for true believers. People of faith become very glad when they have perceived the secret behind matter because this reality is the key to all questions. With this key, all secrets are unlocked. One comes to easily understand many issues that he previously had difficulty in understanding.
As said before, the questions of death, paradise, hell, the hereafter, changing dimensions, and important questions such as "Where is Allah?", "What was before Allah?", "Who created Allah?", "How long will the life in cemetery last?", "Where are heaven and hell?", and "Where do heaven and hell currently exist?" will be easily answered. It will be understood with what kind of a system Allah created the entire universe from nothingness. So much so that, with this secret, the questions of "when", and "where" become meaningless because there will be no time and no place left. When spacelessness is comprehended, it will be understood that hell, heaven and earth are all actually at the same place. If timelessness is understood, it will be understood that everything takes place at a single moment: nothing is waited for and time does not go by, because everything has already happened and finished.
With this secret delved, the world becomes like heaven for a believer. All distressful material worries, anxieties, and fears vanish. The person grasps that the entire universe has a single Sovereign, that He changes the entire physical world as He pleases and that all he has to do is to turn unto Him. He then submits himself entirely to Allah "to be devoted to His service". (Surat Aal-e Imran, 35)
To comprehend this secret is the greatest gain in the world.
With this secret, another very important reality mentioned in the Qur'an is unveiled: the fact that "Allah is nearer to man than his jugular vein" (Surah Qaf, 16) . As everybody knows, the jugular vein is inside the body. What could be nearer to a person than his inside? This situation can be easily explained by the reality of spacelessness. This verse can also be much better comprehended by understanding this secret.
This is the plain truth. It should be well established that there is no other helper and provider for man other than Allah. There is nothing but Allah; He is the only absolute being Whom one can seek refuge in, appeal for help, and count on for reward.
Whithersoever we turn, there is the presence of Allah.

|Fossils are one of the main sources of information about the different periods in the Earth's history. They provide information not just about natural history, but about the history of the Earth itself. Specific types of fossil are found only in specific strata and in specific types of sedimentary rock.
Fossil groups are unique to each consecutive rock stratum and represent a form of signature of that stratum, enabling paleontologists to date it accurately.

He accepts repentance from His servants, pardons evil acts, and knows what they do. (Surat ash-Shura, 25)
We offered the Trust to the heavens, Earth, and the mountains, but they refused to take it on and shrank from it. But man took it on. He is indeed wrongdoing and ignorant. (Surat al-Ahzab, 72)
Truly man is ungrateful to his Lord. (Surat al-'Adiyat,6)
Do they not know that Allah accepts repentance from His servants and acknowledges their alms, and that Allah is the Ever-Returning, the Most Merciful? (Surat at-Tawba,104)

Preview snippet Edit
Stories, myths, and legends; people build their identities upon narratives that describe their past. Is it any wonder that humans, with their vague, ambiguous, and often demonstrably false origin myths, are the most changeable race of any who stride the world?When the dwarves speak of being chiseled from the bones of the earth, and the elves sing of their leafy birth in the untamed Feywild, humans can only wonder. From what mold did humans spring? What god or primordial fashioned them, then abandoned them to the world without guidance or supervision? Or did they arise, as some learned sages claim, from the clay of the world itself, over millennia of slow variation from lesser beasts? With no true knowledge of their beginning, lacking any familiarity with a creator, and absent a defined higher purpose a parent deity might provide, humanity claimed for itself the right to determine its own purposes[2].
