The table is the perfect size and design for the space. Very easy to put together and it looks fabulous.
Great product, fast shipping and good service. Would definitely recommend.
I ordered this product and it was dispatched promptly. However, I messed up my address so the couriers got confused (entirely my mistake). Nestz were very helpful in organising to change the address and get it delivered as soon as possible. It arrived in good condition.
I have since constructed the table and we are very happy with the quality of the product and the value for money.
Quick delioand love the clock
Beautiful table seat 4 easily and will seat 6 when needed. I put this together on my own. I suggest two people would have been better.

We bought hot air balloon mobile and have hung it from the ceiling in our atrium and it looks fantastic. Love the way it moves very slightly just like the balloons a floating around each other. We also bought individual hot air balloons to add to the look, so it looks like some a closer and others are further away. Every time we go in there we just loving looking at them, take you to another time and place.
We love these hot air balloons, we bought two of them and the hot air balloon mobile and have hung them from the ceiling in our atrium and they look fantastic. Every time we go in there we just loving looking at them, take you to another time and place.
delivery was great very quick easy to assemble with the directions looks very good in my office
10/10 for delivery, communication, price and quality.
I was moving house and needed delayed shipping, they had it there on my day of move in and replied to my emails promptly.
As I put my coffee table together it felt and looked great, we are happy with our purchase!!
Great piece of furniture, was simple to put together, feels very solid and looks lovely.
Would highly recommend this product!
This item arrived within the specified time and in perfect condition. This stylish, sturdy table was easy to assemble with the tools provided. Looks great in our loungeroom. However, I note that I didn't realise there would be the words 'Tempered Glass' etched on the table itself which is a bit daggy.
This desk took a bit of putting together, but its a solid desk of much better quality than expected. Looks great with matching bookcase.

As he was dropping off his family at 11 a.m. on the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue, Mr. Brinkley stopped to ask a Secret Service officer whether his wife could take the baby's car seat into the White House. The officer saw Mr. Brinkley had an empty holster, which kicked off a traffic stop that ended in a search of the Charger's trunk. Mr. Brinkley was booked on two counts of "high capacity" magazine possession (these are ordinary magazines nearly everywhere else in the country) and one count of possessing an unregistered gun.
Despite the evidence Mr. Brinkley had been legally transporting the gun, his attorney Richard Gardiner said the D.C. Office of the Attorney General "wouldn't drop it." This is the same office now showing apparent reluctance to charge Mr. Gregory.
Mr. Brinkley refused to take a plea bargain and admit guilt, so the matter went to trial Dec. 4. The judge sided with Mr. Brinkley, saying he had met the burden of proof that he was legally transporting. Mr. Brinkley was found not guilty on all firearms-related charges, including for the "high-capacity" magazines, and he was left with a $50 traffic ticket.

Get Reliable Newport Electricians to your premises. With over 25 years experience in the industry, our qualified personnel are happy to quote any size job.
Our team of qualified electricians also cover Bassaleg, Duffryn, Langstone, Llanwern, Magor, Rogerstone and the surrounding areas.
House Rewire Newport
Due to the increase in electrical devices that we use in our properties, old wiring will often be unsuitable. A house rewire is when an electrician will come to your property and replace all, or parts of your wiring, to ensure they meet the current safety standards, and will provide safety to your family, employees, and yourself. The regularity of a rewire is dependant on the conditioning of the property, but as a general rule properties will need a full rewire every 25-30 years. Rewiring can help to stop the fuses blowing regularly, and can reduce the chance of a fire within your property, as the older the wiring the more likely it is to over heat and cause a fire. To find out if you need a house rewire in the area of Newport, you should first call one of our skilled electrical contractors to come to the property and inspect the installations. Vanda Electrical will then give you an estimate on how much of the wiring (if any) will be needing an upgrade. If you would like any advice on whether your house needs a rewire, please feel free to contact us. Alternatively, request a free quote.
Newport Electricians offering PAT Testing
PAT or Portable Appliance Testing is the term used to describe the inspection of electrical appliances to ensure that they are safe to use in the work place. Even though it is not required by law to carry out Portable Appliance Testing on appliances and equipment, it is required to keep employees safe from any harm. The Health & Safety Executive states that 25% of all reportable electrical accidents involve portable appliances, so carrying out regular PAT testing will ensure a safe work force and give peace of mind. According to the HSE, visually expecting equipment or appliances can detect around 90% of faults, however it is important to carry out electrical testing as it accounts for that final 10% which could be a potential danger. Our fully trained and experienced electricians Vanda Electrical can undertake PAT testing in a high quality, professional and polite manner, so if have any questions you would like to ask, please feel free to contact us, or you can request a free quote.
Fuse box/Fuse board Upgrade Newport
Many older properties are likely to have old and out dated fuse boxes. The problem with older fuse boxes is that they offer very little protection against electrocution. Not only that but having a new consumer board installed can increase the electrical efficiency of your property and this could save you money. The electrical contractors here at Vanda Electrical can fit a brand new fuse board in your property, which will ensure it adheres to all the electrical wiring regulations, and ensure you have a Residual-Current Device (RCD). An RCD is a safety device in newer consumer boards that switches off electricity automatically if there is a fault, giving you added protection. Our electrical contractors will replace all fuse boards/boxes to the 17th edition regulations for wherever you live in Newport. If you would like to ask any questions about fuse boxes/consumer units please contact us, alternatively you can request a free quote.
Electrical Installations Newport
The electrical contractors here at Vanda Electrical are highly skilled and experienced with a range of skills to carry out all of your electrical installation needs. Whether you live in Newport or the surrounding areas, our electricians are qualified to the highest standards, and are CSCS, IPAF, PASMA and UKPIA/SPA accredited. With years of experience we can carry out any of your electrical installations to the highest standard, and our electricians are available to work 2 hours a day, 7 hours a week to ensure minimal disruption and work around the hours that suit you and your business. Our electrical contractors can offer a range of services, everything from house rewiring, outdoor lighting, emergency lighting, fire and security alarms, new fuse boxes, electrical light fittings and so on. We are also at hand to offer you free advice on any questions you may have. If you would like any information or have any questions, please feel free to contact us or request a free quote.

Last week we showed you a clear front shot of what could be the 2012 MINI Cooper, or i-MegaCity. Today, behold the may-be-Mini showing off its profile and new rump. UDPATE: It's a fake!
The R60 platform-based 2012 MINI Cooper borrows heavily from the MINI Crossman Concept in the styling department, which should also transcend to the production MINI Crossman. The jumbo shrimp 2012 MINI will grow in size from the outgoing model and will likely mature in the power department, as well. While details are somewhat slim at this point in the game, we like what we see and could possibly even overlook the lack of a gimmicky clam shell hood.
We're expecting to see a concept version of the R60-based 2012 MINI Cooper some time next year, while the production MINI Crossman will likely be shown this fall. Given the source of this info we're still treating it with skepticism.
UPDATE: Our skepticism has been rewarded as it turns out, according to the company, these are totally bogus.

Starting tomorrow, sketches of these two men will appear on billboards around Los Angeles. They are wanted in connection with the beating of Bryan Stow in the parking lot after a Giants game. Stow "is basically gone," his mother said this week.
It's not really a "sports" story in the sense that we probably shouldn't care so much more about this than any other horrible senseless crime, even though we do. But at least we can agree it's a good idea to catch some bad people. LA readers call 1-877-LAPD-247 with any tips. There's a reward.
The billboards are being paid for by a private ad agency, by the way. One might say (if one wanted to make this a sports story again) that this is the kind of thing the team should have been doing out of its own pocket. That is, if it weren't caught up in so many other things this past month.

Summative Designation
Beginning in 2018, each Illinois school is receiving a Summative Designation, a measure of progress in academic performance and student success. This school has received the Summative Designation stated on the screen. Reasons for the Summative Designation are indicated on the following screen. Multiple measures determine which one of four Summative Designations is appropriate for this school.
Exemplary – Schools performing in the top 10 percent of schools statewide with no underperforming student groups.
Commendable – A school that has no underperforming student groups, a graduation rate greater than 67 percent, and whose performance is not in the top 10 percent of schools statewide.
Targeted – A school in which one or more student groups is performing at or below the level of the "all students" group in the lowest performing 5 percent of schools.
Comprehensive – A school that is in the lowest-performing 5 percent of schools in Illinois and any high school with a graduation rate of 67 percent or less.
Student groups used in the calculations include major racial and ethnic identities, students with Individual Education Plans (special education), English language learners, and students from low-income families. In order to protect students' privacy, a group must include at least 10 students in order to be counted in the calculation of Summative Designations.
Illinois' new accountability system has been designed to identify schools that will receive help to improve students' success. Underperforming and Lowest-Performing schools will receive additional funding and supports to build local capacity and improve student outcomes. Multiple measures of school performance and growth determine a school's designation. The federal Every Student Succeeds Act requires states to provide a summative designation for every public school.
Calculations for K-8 school Designations include the following factors in 2018:
- Percent of students proficient in English Language Arts (10%)
- Percent of students proficient in Math (10%)
- English Learner Progress to Proficiency (5%)
- English Language Arts Growth (25%)
- Math Growth (25%)
- Chronic absenteeism rate (20%)
- Climate Survey (5% - Full credit for all schools)
Calculations for 9-12 school Designations include the following in 2018:
- Percent of students proficient in English Language Arts (10%)
- Percent of student proficient in Math (10%)
- English Learner Progress to Proficiency (5%)
- Graduation rate (50%)
- Chronic absenteeism rate (7.5%)
- Percent of 9th Graders on Track to Graduate (6.25%)
- Percent of students ready for College and Careers (6.25% - Full credit for all schools)
- Climate Survey (5% - Full credit for all schools)

greenlet: Lightweight concurrent programming¶
The "greenlet" package is a spin-off of Stackless, a version of CPython that supports micro-threads called "tasklets". Tasklets run pseudo-concurrently (typically in a single or a few OS-level threads) and are synchronized with data exchanges on "channels".
A "greenlet", on the other hand, is a still more primitive notion of
micro-thread with no implicit scheduling; coroutines, in other words.
This is useful when you want to
control exactly when your code runs. You can build custom scheduled
micro-threads on top of greenlet; however, it seems that greenlets are
useful on their own as a way to make advanced control flow structures.
For example, we can recreate generators; the difference with Python's own
generators is that our generators can call nested functions and the nested
functions can yield values too. (Additionally, you don't need a "yield"
keyword. See the example in
Greenlets are provided as a C extension module for the regular unmodified interpreter.
Let's consider a system controlled by a terminal-like console, where the user types commands. Assume that the input comes character by character. In such a system, there will typically be a loop like the following one:
def process_commands(*args):
while True:
line = ''
while not line.endswith('\n'):
line += read_next_char()
if line == 'quit\n':
print("are you sure?")
if read_next_char() != 'y':
continue # ignore the command
Now assume that you want to plug this program into a GUI. Most GUI toolkits
are event-based. They will invoke a call-back for each character the user
presses. [Replace "GUI" with "XML expat parser" if that rings more bells to
:-)] In this setting, it is difficult to implement the
read_next_char() function needed by the code above. We have two incompatible
def event_keydown(key):
def read_next_char():
?? should wait for the next event_keydown() call
You might consider doing that with threads. Greenlets are an alternate solution that don't have the related locking and shutdown problems. You start the process_commands() function in its own, separate greenlet, and then you exchange the keypresses with it as follows:
def event_keydown(key):
# jump into g_processor, sending it the key
def read_next_char():
# g_self is g_processor in this simple example
g_self = greenlet.getcurrent()
# jump to the parent (main) greenlet, waiting for the next key
next_char = g_self.parent.switch()
return next_char
g_processor = greenlet(process_commands)
g_processor.switch(*args) # input arguments to process_commands()
In this example, the execution flow is: when read_next_char() is called, it
is part of the g_processor greenlet, so when it switches to its parent
greenlet, it resumes execution in the top-level main loop (the GUI). When
the GUI calls event_keydown(), it switches to g_processor, which means that
the execution jumps back wherever it was suspended in that greenlet – in
this case, to the switch() instruction in read_next_char() – and the
argument in event_keydown() is passed as the return value of the switch() in
Note that read_next_char() will be suspended and resumed with its call stack preserved, so that it will itself return to different positions in process_commands() depending on where it was originally called from. This allows the logic of the program to be kept in a nice control-flow way; we don't have to completely rewrite process_commands() to turn it into a state machine.
A "greenlet" is a small independent pseudo-thread. Think about it as a small stack of frames; the outermost (bottom) frame is the initial function you called, and the innermost frame is the one in which the greenlet is currently paused. You work with greenlets by creating a number of such stacks and jumping execution between them. Jumps are never implicit: a greenlet must choose to jump to another greenlet, which will cause the former to suspend and the latter to resume where it was suspended. Jumping between greenlets is called "switching".
When you create a greenlet, it gets an initially empty stack; when you first switch to it, it starts to run a specified function, which may call other functions, switch out of the greenlet, etc. When eventually the outermost function finishes its execution, the greenlet's stack becomes empty again and the greenlet is "dead". Greenlets can also die of an uncaught exception.
For example:
from greenlet import greenlet
def test1():
def test2():
gr1 = greenlet(test1)
gr2 = greenlet(test2)
The last line jumps to test1, which prints 12, jumps to test2, prints 56,
jumps back into test1, prints 34; and then test1 finishes and gr1 dies.
At this point, the execution comes back to the original
call. Note that 78 is never printed.
Let's see where execution goes when a greenlet dies. Every greenlet has a "parent" greenlet. The parent greenlet is initially the one in which the greenlet was created (this can be changed at any time). The parent is where execution continues when a greenlet dies. This way, greenlets are organized in a tree. Top-level code that doesn't run in a user-created greenlet runs in the implicit "main" greenlet, which is the root of the tree.
In the above example, both gr1 and gr2 have the main greenlet as a parent. Whenever one of them dies, the execution comes back to "main".
Uncaught exceptions are propagated into the parent, too. For example, if the above test2() contained a typo, it would generate a NameError that would kill gr2, and the exception would go back directly into "main". The traceback would show test2, but not test1. Remember, switches are not calls, but transfer of execution between parallel "stack containers", and the "parent" defines which stack logically comes "below" the current one.
greenlet.greenlet is the greenlet type, which supports the following
greenlet(run=None, parent=None)
- Create a new greenlet object (without running it).
runis the callable to invoke, and
parentis the parent greenlet, which defaults to the current greenlet.
- Returns the current greenlet (i.e. the one which called this function).
- This special exception does not propagate to the parent greenlet; it can be used to kill a single greenlet.
greenlet type can be subclassed, too. A greenlet runs by calling
run attribute, which is normally set when the greenlet is
created; but for subclasses it also makes sense to define a
run method
instead of giving a
run argument to the constructor.
Switches between greenlets occur when the method switch() of a greenlet is called, in which case execution jumps to the greenlet whose switch() is called, or when a greenlet dies, in which case execution jumps to the parent greenlet. During a switch, an object or an exception is "sent" to the target greenlet; this can be used as a convenient way to pass information between greenlets. For example:
def test1(x, y):
z = gr2.switch(x+y)
def test2(u):
gr1 = greenlet(test1)
gr2 = greenlet(test2)
gr1.switch("hello", " world")
This prints "hello world" and 42, with the same order of execution as the previous example. Note that the arguments of test1() and test2() are not provided when the greenlet is created, but only the first time someone switches to it.
Here are the precise rules for sending objects around:
g.switch(*args, **kwargs)
- Switches execution to the greenlet
g, sending it the given arguments. As a special case, if
gdid not start yet, then it will start to run now.
- Dying greenlet
- If a greenlet's
run()finishes, its return value is the object sent to its parent. If
run()terminates with an exception, the exception is propagated to its parent (unless it is a
greenlet.GreenletExitexception, in which case the exception object is caught and returned to the parent).
Apart from the cases described above, the target greenlet normally
receives the object as the return value of the call to
switch() in
which it was previously suspended. Indeed, although a call to
switch() does not return immediately, it will still return at some
point in the future, when some other greenlet switches back. When this
occurs, then execution resumes just after the
switch() where it was
suspended, and the
switch() itself appears to return the object that
was just sent. This means that
x = g.switch(y) will send the object
y to
g, and will later put the (unrelated) object that some
(unrelated) greenlet passes back to us into
Note that any attempt to switch to a dead greenlet actually goes to the dead greenlet's parent, or its parent's parent, and so on. (The final parent is the "main" greenlet, which is never dead.)
Methods and attributes of greenlets¶
g.switch(*args, **kwargs)
- Switches execution to the greenlet
g. See above.
- The callable that
gwill run when it starts. After
gstarted, this attribute no longer exists.
- The parent greenlet. This is writeable, but it is not allowed to create cycles of parents.
- The current top frame, or None.
- True if
gis dead (i.e. it finished its execution).
- True if
gis active, False if it is dead or not yet started.
g.throw([typ, [val, [tb]]])
Switches execution to the greenlet
g, but immediately raises the given exception in
g. If no argument is provided, the exception defaults to
greenlet.GreenletExit. The normal exception propagation rules apply, as described above. Note that calling this method is almost equivalent to the following:
def raiser(): raise typ, val, tb g_raiser = greenlet(raiser, parent=g) g_raiser.switch()
except that this trick does not work for the
greenlet.GreenletExitexception, which would not propagate from
Greenlets and Python threads¶
Greenlets can be combined with Python threads; in this case, each thread contains an independent "main" greenlet with a tree of sub-greenlets. It is not possible to mix or switch between greenlets belonging to different threads.
Garbage-collecting live greenlets¶
If all the references to a greenlet object go away (including the
references from the parent attribute of other greenlets), then there is no
way to ever switch back to this greenlet. In this case, a GreenletExit
exception is generated into the greenlet. This is the only case where a
greenlet receives the execution asynchronously. This gives
try:finally: blocks a chance to clean up resources held by the
greenlet. This feature also enables a programming style in which
greenlets are infinite loops waiting for data and processing it. Such
loops are automatically interrupted when the last reference to the
greenlet goes away.
The greenlet is expected to either die or be resurrected by having a new reference to it stored somewhere; just catching and ignoring the GreenletExit is likely to lead to an infinite loop.
Greenlets do not participate in garbage collection; cycles involving data that is present in a greenlet's frames will not be detected. Storing references to other greenlets cyclically may lead to leaks.
Tracing support¶
Standard Python tracing and profiling doesn't work as expected when used with greenlet since stack and frame switching happens on the same Python thread. It is difficult to detect greenlet switching reliably with conventional methods, so to improve support for debugging, tracing and profiling greenlet based code there are new functions in the greenlet module:
- Returns a previously set tracing function, or None.
Sets a new tracing function and returns a previous tracing function, or None. The callback is called on various events and is expected to have the following signature:
def callback(event, args): if event == 'switch': origin, target = args # Handle a switch from origin to target. # Note that callback is running in the context of target # greenlet and any exceptions will be passed as if # target.throw() was used instead of a switch. return if event == 'throw': origin, target = args # Handle a throw from origin to target. # Note that callback is running in the context of target # greenlet and any exceptions will replace the original, as # if target.throw() was used with the replacing exception. return
For compatibility it is very important to unpack args tuple only when event is either
'throw'and not when
eventis potentially something else. This way API can be extended to new events similar to
C API Reference¶
Greenlets can be created and manipulated from extension modules written in C or
C++, or from applications that embed Python. The
greenlet.h header is
provided, and exposes the entire API available to pure Python modules.
|Type name
|Python name

- A macro that imports the greenlet module and initializes the C API. This must be called once for each extension module that uses the greenlet C API.
int PyGreenlet_Check(PyObject *p)
- Macro that returns true if the argument is a PyGreenlet.
int PyGreenlet_STARTED(PyGreenlet *g)
- Macro that returns true if the greenlet
ghas started.
int PyGreenlet_ACTIVE(PyGreenlet *g)
- Macro that returns true if the greenlet
ghas started and has not died.
PyGreenlet *PyGreenlet_GET_PARENT(PyGreenlet *g)
- Macro that returns the parent greenlet of
int PyGreenlet_SetParent(PyGreenlet *g, PyGreenlet *nparent)
- Set the parent greenlet of
g. Returns 0 for success. If -1 is returned, then
gis not a pointer to a PyGreenlet, and an AttributeError will be raised.
PyGreenlet *PyGreenlet_GetCurrent(void)
- Returns the currently active greenlet object.
PyGreenlet *PyGreenlet_New(PyObject *run, PyObject *parent)
- Creates a new greenlet object with the callable
runand parent
parent. Both parameters are optional. If
runis NULL, then the greenlet will be created, but will fail if switched in. If
parentis NULL, the parent is automatically set to the current greenlet.
PyObject *PyGreenlet_Switch(PyGreenlet *g, PyObject *args, PyObject *kwargs)
- Switches to the greenlet
kwargsare optional and can be NULL. If
argsis NULL, an empty tuple is passed to the target greenlet. If kwargs is NULL, no keyword arguments are passed to the target greenlet. If arguments are specified,
argsshould be a tuple and
kwargsshould be a dict.
PyObject *PyGreenlet_Throw(PyGreenlet *g, PyObject *typ, PyObject *val, PyObject *tb)
- Switches to greenlet
g, but immediately raise an exception of type
typwith the value
val, and optionally, the traceback object

I have full confidence that Jeff will produce a book that will be technically complete with true insight into the process but also inspirational from an artistic perspective (no pressure Jeff).
Did I just chimp?
there are no white-cotton gloves included! Or a bar of soap, at least. I mean, given the nature of the book, it i going to be read and re-read, used and re-sued, and the predominantly white cover is not going to stay so for long.You need to buy a backup copy of the book...maybe two copies.:~)
Can you comment on the accuracy of the photo printing in the book?
P.S. I really hope you come up with a way to provide full resolution images for sharpening demonstration. Perhaps just small but meaningful pieces of images?

Used Recording King
About Recording King:
From solid top dreadnoughts to resonators, banjos and even lap steel guitars, playing one of Recording King's hand-assembled stringed instruments is like taking a time machine back to the golden age of musical craftsmanship. Starting in the 1930s, Recording King's instruments have a feel, look and sound that has earned them the respect of performers from around the world. Today, their legacy continues, and this catalog has more than enough stunning examples of their vintage All-American designs.
The second you pick up a Recording King instrument, you'll notice quickly that an incredible amount of effort went into its construction. Right down to the smallest component, Recording King's models are built to hold up through countless amounts of use, which is why so many top-recording musicians depend on the Recording King name. In fact, their ever-growing roster currently includes artists like Jason Turner, Lizzy Long, and Justin Townes Earle.
Recording King has a strong reputation for the playability and sound quality of their acoustic guitars, and the RD-316 dreadnought is a perfect example. Made from solid AAA Adirondack spruce and solid African mahogany, the RD-316 has a rich and clear tone, flawless intonation, and it stays in tune remarkably well. Now, if it's a lap steel guitar that you're after, then check out the RG-31. Featuring a single P-90 pickup and a string-through-body design, this lap steel guitar has powerful sustain, and the single volume and tone knobs give you total control over the sonic texture of the instrument. Whether you're a country plucker or a soulful bluesman, the RG-31 has a versatility that spans a wide range of genres.
As mentioned, Recording King also offers an impressive variety of banjos, and the Bluegrass Series RK-R20 Songster is a great beginning resonator model. With its mother-of-pearl peghead inlay and heart-shaped position markers, this banjo looks as sharp as it sounds, and its easy action makes for an enjoyable playing experience.
When you have a skill to share with an audience, you deserve to showcase your talents on an instrument that not only highlights your strongest traits as a performer, but allows you to hone your abilities in style. Of course, you'll have no problem making a name for yourself when you go with any one of Recording King's beautifully-crafted musical instruments.

New home sales rise 4.4 percent in November
WASHINGTON -- Americans bought new homes last month at the fastest pace in more than 2½ years, further evidence of a sustained housing recovery.
Sales of new homes rose 4.4 percent in November from October to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 377,000, the Commerce Department said Thursday. That's the fastest pace since April 2010, when a federal tax credit boosted sales.
New-home sales have also increased 15.3 percent over the past year, although the improvement comes from depressed levels. Sales remain below the 700,000 that economists consider healthy.
Sales in the Northeast rebounded in November from disruptions caused by Hurricane Sandy. Sales in the region increased 12.5 percent last month. That followed a decline of 27.3 percent in October.
The housing market has steadily improved this year, helped by stable job gains and record-low mortgage rates. More people are looking to buy or rent a home after living with relatives or friends during and immediately after the Great Recession.
Another big reason for the rebound: The excess supply of homes that were built during the housing boom has finally thinned out. Only 149,000 new homes were for sale at the end of last month, according to the report. That's just above a record low of 143,000 in August.
The increase in the supply of new homes for sale was the first sustained rise in five years. Economists said that reflects growing optimism among builders that the housing recovery will endure.
Builder confidence rose this month to its highest level in 6½ years, according to the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo survey released last week.
The pace of home construction is nearly 22 percent higher than a year earlier, according to government data. Builders are on track this year to start work on the most homes in four years.
There have been other signs of a recovery in the housing market.

Come unto Him
1. He came to us. He loved us that much;
There isn't a soul He's unwilling to touch.
No life so dark He cannot light.
No sadness no sorrow He cannot right.
Come unto Him. Come unto Him;
Come unto Him. Come learn of Him,
He meek and humble and lowly of heart;
Come unto Him. Come Unto Him
2. He came to earth, He lived as a man;
There's no earthly care he can't understand.
No earthly pain He did not feel'
No hunger, no heartache He cannot heal.
3. He lived like us, acquainted with grief,
To those who believe He offers relief.
He opens eyes He forgives sin,
For the humble, the faithful who follow Him.

Melges 32 World League: Balestrero Wins Overall, Holzapfel Crowned Corinthian in Porto Venere
Sunday, April 2, 2017 8:26 PM
Balestrero Wins Overall, Holzapfel Crowned Corinthian Champion at Melges 32 World League Event in Porto Venere
Porto Venere, Italy (Apr. 2, 2017) - A full round of congratulations are in order for 2017 Melges 32 World League Porto Venere Champion Matteo Balestrero and his team aboard Giogi which included tactician Paolo Cian and crew members Andrea Casale, Andrea Felci, Elio Borio, Cristiano Giannetti, Alessandro Siviero and Leone Taddei.
"We are quite happy with our result. Being a 'local' here in Porto Venere it's too bad to not have been able to sail more," says Balestrero. "I have to thank my team, and of course to two-time America's Cup sailor Paolo Cian for a great job on the water. We were fast on Friday so this of course, helped push us this weekend to win. We are looking forward to more great racing throughout the season, especially for the Worlds in Cala Galera."
Finishing respectively in second and third was Andrea Lacorte's Vitamina Amerikana and Giangiacomo Serena di Lapigio's G-Spot.
Additional congratulations go out to the very first Melges 32 World League Porto Venere Corinthian Champion Kilian Holzapfel from Germany aboard Homanit Junior. Kilian was accompanied by tactician Lukas Feuerherdt and crew members Alber Johannes Buitenhuis, Niek De Boer, Jan Kowalski, Kevin Reisenauer, Jolbert Van Djik and Jan Jasper Wagner.
"To have this win is really awesome, Porto Venere is really nice despite we were able to sail only for one day," said Holzapfel. "We are happy, very lucky. We've had only a little bit of practice on the boat. Our crew is very young - the oldest is 28 and the youngest is 21. All of us are much more experienced on smaller boats, so to sail the Melges 32 has been really fun, and we plan to be here for the rest of the season. For sure, we will learn a lot and hope to keep improving."
The Corinthian podium was completed with Martin Reintjes on Caipirinha in second, followed by third place finisher Francesco Graziani on Vitamina.
At the prize giving ceremony, congratulations to Mr. Daniele Fiaschi - he is the lucky winner of the Quantrix 3 offered by Garmin, the Official Timekeeper of the 2017 Melges 32 World League, European Division.
A tremendous round of appreciation and gratitude go to all the competitors, as well as the Comune di Porto Venere and organized in collaboration with the Comitato dei Circoli del Golfo, Porto Venere Sviluppo srl and Porto Venere Servizi for their great support and sponsorship.
Get ready for the next Melges 32 World League event, taking place on May 5-7 nestled in the beautiful tuscan region, hosted by Marina di Scarlino!

The Plant-a-Lamp is a lamp pole which is "planted" in the soil of a live potted houseplant. Add a light bulb and lampshade of your choice to turn it into a plant grow lamp. When the pole is plugged in it turns the leaves of the plant into the light switch. Pinch a leaf to turn the lamp on and off. Pinch and hold a leaf to dim and brighten the lamp.
Click here to go to the secure Plant-a-Lamp storefront Plant Grow Lamp / Plant a Lamp CLICK HERE
Just touch any leaf to turn your lamp on or off
Pinch a leaf and the lamp will dim or brighten to whatever level you choose
The lamp will turn on to the previous dim level
Sensitivity to touch can ba adjusted via the pole mounted knob
When the soil becomes dry the Plant-a-Lamp will blink the lamp indicating the soil needs water
Can be fitted with any style of shade (shade not included)
Three shade mounting options supported: bulb clip-on, harp mounting, under bulb mounting
Plant-a-Lamp pole can be painted to match any decor
60 watt bulb is recommended (bulb not included)
Includes 5 ft cord for 120 Volt 60 Hz North American style plug
Plant-a-Lamp lighting pole stands 16 inches high, up to 7 inches of the pole can be potted in the soil
How do I setup the Plant-a-Lamp?
Samples - these are REAL LIVE PLANTS!
Using microchip technology, the Plant-a-Lamp lighting pole, which has been designed and is manufactured in Britain, enables you to combine an attractive arrangement with an incredible conversation piece. By adding living plants to your own choice of planter/pot and shade you can create a unique lamp to suit your own home or office decor.
Q. How does it work?
A. You don't really think we are going to tell you that do you? There is a scientific explanation, but part of the fun of owning a Plant-a-Lamp is hearing your friends try to work it out. We've had stories ranging from friction, body heat and pressure, to "there's a sensor at the top" and "seven satellites orbit the Earth and every time one passes overhead it picks up a signal". All you need to know is this is a fantastic piece of micro-chip technology which means every time you touch any leaf the light switches on, hold a leaf and it brightens or dims until you let go and when you touch a leaf again it switches off. There are no switches other than your plant's leaves themselves.
Q. But you'll need to water the plants and I was always taught you can't mix water and electricity. Is it safe?
A. It's funny, people never say this when they buy their electric kettle, steam iron, shower etc., but you're right, normally we avoid combining these two but not in the case of Plant-a-Lamp because this is no ordinary product. In fact without moisture it can't work so if you neglect your arrangement you will try to switch it on and find the light flickering, effectively saying "It's about time you watered me!" Plant-a-Lamp needs moisture in the soil to pass a tiny impulse to the plant. It is totally safe and, unlike most other electrical appliances, doesn't merely rely on the 3 amp fused plug to safeguard you, there are three other safety overrides, a microchip and two resistors, on the electronics board. 70,000 Plant-a-Lamps have been sold in 35 different countries since its original launch on "Tomorrow's World" and to our knowledge it has a 100% safety record during that time. Not only is it safe but it undergoes the most rigorous testing. It has been subjected to a 13 page report by the British Standards Institute and tested to meet Low Voltage and Electromagnetic Compatibility Directives to make sure it doesn't interfere with your TV, telephone, computer, pace maker, hearing aid etc. It carries the European Union CE quality assurance mark and comes with a 2 year guarantee.
Q. If it switches on when you touch a leaf, what happens if a fly lands on it?
A. Nothing unless the fly has a leg long enough to reach the floor. Let's face it if you've got a fly that size, the light being switched on isn't your biggest problem.
Q. But won't the kids trash it?
A. Kids genuinely believe it's magic. OK, for the first few days it's like a disco but they get used to it. On the practical side, your children then have a lamp they can switch on or off easily without having to put their fingers near a hot bulb where the switch is on ordinary lamps. Similarly, the elderly or people with arthritis find the ease of operation a distinct advantage.
Q. What size bulb does it take? Will it work with Energy Saver bulbs?
A. Most lamp shades have a 60 watt limit on them so this is the maximum we recommend and we advise not to go below 40 watts as we need a certain energy flow to make it work. Unfortunately, on energy saver bulb packs you will see it says "not suitable with dimmers" so sadly, until the bulb makers get their act together, we have to say "no".
Q. Won't the heat from the bulb burn the plants?
A. No. The heat rises through the top of the shade leaving gentle warmth, which combines with the moisture in the soil to provide excellent growing conditions. We've never carried out biological tests but our customers say their plants thrive.
What's Included in the Package?
One new retail box Plant-a-Lamp lighting pole with instruction booklet. You must supply your own pot, light bulb, shade, soil, live plant, water, etc. You are only purchasing the lamp pole. Wholesale inquirys welcome: email@example.com

Firefox 6 Released Early
Firefox 6 isn't scheduled to be released until Tuesday, but Mozilla has uploaded installation files to a FTP server for those who want to get their hands on the upgraded browser early.
Although the new version doesn't sport any major UI changes, the browser is reportedly 20% faster than Firefox 5. Startup time has been improved, especially for those with lots of tabs and groups. Users can now determine whether they want to load their tab groups when launching the browser, or load them within the Panorama grouping tool.
Update: Mozilla has asked us to remove the links to its FTP servers because the versions were not final. We'll post the download links to the final versions alongside our hands-on review Tuesday.

What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?This is the place for the Cosmic Girls and Space Cowboys to chat about subjects that are not related to Jamiroquai. Subjects that don't quite fit in the Funktion Room should also be posted here. Introduce yourselves to one another in here.
What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?
(Please, notice this topic is different from the " what's your favorite TV/movie" topic)
So, the title says it all.
My favorite movies are
Forrest Gump- It's abot a retarded kid who i pretty much sucessful in every field of life without knowing how or why, but spends almost his whole life looking for the girl he always liked.
The Pianist- It's about a World War II. Based on a real story.
Fight Club- It's about a regular guy who, like most of the regular people, isn't satisfied with his life to the point he suffers from insomnia. One day he meets a man named Tyler Durden who is a modern philosophist and activist who blames life misery on the consummerism and the way society is organized. They become friends but soon things will get out of control.
D. Juan de Marco- It's about a seducer who trys to kill himself for love. They bring him to an asylium and is treated by a man who's about to retire. The story is based on that.
Let me know your suggestions.
P.S: I wonder what's Jay's favorite movies.
Re: What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?
"movie/movie" suggestions? What do you exactly mean when you say that's different from "TV/movie"??
Anyway... I suggest :
Home Alone : I suppose I don't need to present this film... Everybody has seen it... And if you haven't, run to your settee!! It's the adventures of a 10-year-old boy (?) who misses the plane when all his family go to... er.. I don't remember... during Christmas holidays. He stays alone at home but unfortunately the two men who were supposed to be policemen (?) are in fact thiefs... Kevin (the 10-year-old boy) imagines incredible traps to foil their bad plans... HILARIOUS!!!
Welcome to Gattaca: I watched the beggining last week and it's pretty good. It's a Science Fiction movie and it's about Vincent, a young man who lives in a society extremely selective where imperfect people (talking about genetic...) are discriminated... In fact it's a bit complex to explain seeing that I didn't watch the movie entirely. But here're some comments if you're interested : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119177/reviews
Re: What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?
ClockWork Orange - BRILLIANT! Alex, a badass kid who spends most of his time drinking white milk and raping people (oh! and listening to Beethoven), is chosen for an experiment to end up crime.. (Kubrick)
Pulp Fiction - A mix of several stories, all hilarious. A classic. Thumbs up for the dance scene at Jack Rabbit Slim's and for the bloody overdose scene. Epic film is epic! (Tarantino)
Black Cat, White Cat - ARGH! Must watch it cause it's too hard to explain. (Kusturica)
Re: What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?
@ MissLisa_since1999: Wow! Your 2nd suggestion looks cool. As for Home Alone... You know it's Christmas when you watch that movie on TV nowadays lol
@ Caroli: I totally forgot to mention Pulp Fiction. Blasphem! I always laugh so hard when Sam L. Jackson yells " English motherfuNker, do you speak it?" And Kool& The gang: Jungle Boogie is an awesome tune!
Re: What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?
A must!!!!!!!!!!!
This guy is brilliant, crazy mind you, but brilliant!
HaHa..cute 80s film, I should have known as you have referrenced this many times....
@Jazzhole....I have seen 2 out of your 4...Loved Fightclub...super cool twists in that movie and Edward Norton is one of my favourite actors. Forrest Gump I found a little overated. I thought Slingblade was a better "retarded" movie. they became a little trendy after Forrest Gump....think of Sean Penn in "I am Sam" D.Juan de Marco I have never seen but sounds intriguing.
I loved Sean of the Deadno zombies were hurt in the filming of that one ....I never thought you could make a comedy out of a Zombie movie but to me it was soooo funny AND a litle scary (funny enough) The comedy chemistry between actors Nick Frost and Simon Pegg are super so I would suggest seeing ............HOT FUZZ which stars them bothno zombies in this one
Re: What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?
I have a feeling that the new Steven Spielberg movie WAR HORSE will be tops on my list.
The movie opens on Christmas Day here in the states and has already been nominated for a Golden Globe award for Best Picture!!!! The previews for this movie are absolutely stunning. I can't wait...
Re: What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?
Only ONE time... this is the 2nd.
Re: What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?
Third time..Oct29th, Dec 10th and today.........Sorry..now you know I am a little anal I hate to be wrong
Re: What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?
Ok ok, you're absolutely right!
Re: What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?
A Clockwork Orange was a great film.
But did have trouble with the rape scene.
The friend that introduced me to that film (and many other things! ) is in town this weekend.
And supposed to meet with her today. Haven't heard from her.
Maybe I'll check my FB (cuz yeah, I'm on it!)
Re: What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?
Hey, i just watched A Clockwork Orange 5 minutes ago. Not bad, but i was expecting better. As a psychology student i kinda got surprised with people being worried with behaviorist psychology and it's uses back in the 70's. I didn't know people were so paranoid about it.
Re: What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?
A Clockwork Orange is a great film. But haven't seen it in a while.
But laughed when Kesha ripped off Alex's facial art, only incorporating glitter
Another cult film back in the 90's was Blue Velvet.
A great, young cult film from the 80's was A Princess Bride
Re: What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?
Home Alone and Home Alone 2 on TV this evening!! Can't wait! (haha! fourth!... I hope I'm not wrong this time...)
Well today I suggest...
El Laberinto del fauno (Pan's Labyrinth): we saw it last year with our Spanish teacher... I really liked this movie. It's both scary and sad, but also interresting and enthralling! It's mostly about a young girl (10 years old?), Ofelia, who is over-imaginative and loves fairy stories. She moves to go living in her step-father's house (big house) with her mother (who is pregnant by him... they're married) during the Spanish civil war... In fact her step-father is the Captain Vidal (he works for General Franco and is very malicious... For instance, he doesn't care about his wife, he's only interested by his son... 'cause of course it has to be a boy, otherwise...)
Then when Ofelia is in her bedroom (sleeping) a faun comes and tells her she's actually a princess and to return to her subterranean kingdom, she has to accomplish three missions... more or less dangerous...
As I said, this a very good movie but sometimes a bit scary and shocking... there're some actions...brrrrrr... the one with the bottle at the beggining... or when Mercedes cuts Vidal's mouth (mmm, I'm not kidding...)... This is definitely NOT a movie for young children... But it's brilliant all the same. I love this kind of doubt remaining at the end and which leave us so frustrated...
Re: What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?
So, the only western I enjoyed was "Tombstone".
loved the quotes "I'll be your Huckelberry"!
wanting to see "We bought a Zoo" & "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" (Gary Oldman, who is getting old!)
Re: What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?
I really liked "We bought a Zoo" last week. And well, I know Zoo goes against Jamiroquaiology. But it was an animal park that was already in existance (true story) and the animals were just being maintained for life. And some guy (dreamer) comes along and loves the house and property, but the catch is he has to keep the animals going. With his 2 kids. And the little girl is so adorable!
His goal is to re-open his park, on July 7th. (7/7)!
And just saw "Mission Impossible" today. Pretty good!
Re: What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?
Just saw Shutter Island.....a spooky psycological thriller starring Leo Dicaprio. There's one for you Jazzhole Awesome setting and Dicaprio really is a good actor. Directed by non other than Martin Scorsese who did such classics as Raging Bull and Taxi driver.
Re: What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?
Scorcese is the best!
Re: What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?
shutter island looks cool, but my friends are always talking about it so i already know the final...
Re: What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?
Ahh shucks that sucks!!
Re: What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?
Layer Cake a 2004 british crime thriller...I was super impressed with this one, Daniel Craig (new Bond guy) stars in this as a drug dealer trying to get out of the business....
Re: What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?
Two international blockbusters I recently watched:
1. C'era una volta il West Once upon a time in the West
The quintessential Spaghetti Western by Sergio Leone with Claudia Cardinale, Charles Bronson, Henry Fonda... from 1968.
With the exceptional score by Ennio Morricone.
Once upon a time in the West: The (most famous) duel scene
2. Rocky (the first part)
The quintessential boxing film. Script and main role: Sylvester Stallone. From 1976.
OK, I don't like boxing, but I like this film, especially its music:
Gonna fly now
Re: What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?
The first Rocky is classic.
Adrian! Adrian!
Re: What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?
Any psychological thriller suggestion, like fight club or shutter island?
Re: What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?
@Jazzhole- Inception is supposed to be excellent, I haven't seen it yet and can't wait, so don't tell me about it if you see it. Just happens to star Leo DeCaprio as well
Re: What's your favorite movie/movie suggestion?
@ Jazzhole- One flew over the cuckoo's nest with Jack Nicholson, it is a classic and you might not have seen it yet...... since you are such a young twink

In 1705, Edmund Halley predicted the course and eventual return of his eponymous comet, and traced its past appearances (it is depicted in the Bayeux tapestry and was re-observed in 1758). Comets then were also called messengers, a vestige of their mythological role as messengers of the gods; Newton, Halley, and other astronomers of the day considered it possible that they existed to help supply the planets with water and other necessary materials.
In last week's episode of Cosmos, we saw how Halley's fascination with comets led to his pressing Newton to finally publish his magnum opus, the three-volume set laying out his version of the calculus, the laws of motion, the law of universal gravitation, and his ability to use those tools to predict the paths of astronomical phenomena including comets (almost: The Principia came out in 1687, and it took another 18 years for Halley to account for the gravitational effects of the planets on comets' orbits).
The story behind those discoveries is rife with scientific intrigue and rivalries. Alas for Robert Hooke, one of the most brilliant scientists of his day, who advanced biology, physics, chemistry, optics, and a host of other sciences in ways that few others can claim. He was jealous to a fault, and lacked the mathematical skills to bring his intuitions about universal gravitation to fruition. He spent much of his time embroiled in disputes over priority of various discoveries, battling Huygens over clocks, and Isaac Newton over optics and gravity. Hooke may have stolen credit for some experiments that others asked him to conduct on their behalf. Newton outlived and outshone Hooke in the end, and some believe he destroyed the only known portrait of Hooke after his death.
Cosmos overplayed Hooke's perfidy, turning him into a hunchbacked ogre bent on maliciously and pointlessly tearing down Newton (Newton was no less irascible, and his failure to publish results for decades inevitably led to priority disputes, most famously with Leibniz). The Wire summarizes that section of the Cosmos episode:
In this week's episode, I also learned that if you, like Robert Hooke, end up dying without getting an image of yourself preserved for future generations, a science show will turn you into an evil, balding hunchback to increase the drama of a history lesson. So take selfies forever, I guess.
I also doubt that anyone ever told Hooke, "Put up or shut up." Just saying.
The leap from Halley and Newton's predictions to the 20th century's Jan Oort and the Oort cloud works nicely as a tale about the power of prediction, but I think there was a missed opportunity. Amidst all those men associated with comets, the history of science includes a famous and remarkable woman whose fame is tied to comets.
A hundred years after Halley, Newton, and Hooke did battle, astronomers only knew of a handful of starry messengers, and French astronomer Charles Messier seems to have discovered most of them. Richard Holmes in The Age of Wonder (from whom most of this account is drawn) says only 30 were cataloged by the mid-18th century.
Then came Caroline Herschel. In a short stretch, she discovered eight new comets— the first woman known to have discovered a comet at all, and the most discovered by a woman until the 1980s Her brother, William, had established himself as one of the great telescope-makers, and had used one of those devices to discover the first new planet since the days of ancient Greece. (He wanted to name it "the Georgian planet," after the reigning King of England, but in time Uranus was the name that stuck.) His telescopes were so sensitive that he discovered that certain stars were not stars at all, but distant galaxies like our own, and his telescopes were the first that could resolve individual stars within those distant galaxies. "These clusters," he wrote, "may be the Laboratories of the universe…wherein the most salutary remedies for the decay of the whole are prepared." That is, he realized that new stars were being born in distant galaxies, that stars have lifespans and that galaxies too are born, and evolve. The idea inspired one of Erasmus Darwin's evolutionary poems.
Caroline Herschel discovered her first new galaxy in 1783. William had built her her own telescope, and she served as his assistant when he was making observations, and made the observations herself when he traveled, cataloging the stars all night, then calculating their exact locations all day. One night in 1786, as she examined the Big Dipper, she saw a star that didn't belong. The next night, it had moved relative to the other stars. In her notebook, she wrote: "the object of last night IS A COMET."
Caroline Herschel became a celebrity. Even today, female astronomers are a rare breed, and in 1786, they were unheard of. But Herschel had indeed discovered a new comet, and it was, in the words of Fanny Burney (a novelist and lady-in-waiting to Queen Charlotte), "the first lady's comet." She discovered more comets, wrote the first updated English catalog of stars since Newton's day, and aided in the construction of a massive 40-foot telescope (then the largest ever built). Touring the half-built structure, King George led the Archbishop of Canterbury through the tube, quipping, "Come, my Lord Bishop, I will show you the way to heaven." Franz Joseph Haydn credited a visit to the Herschels' observatory with his oratorio The Creation.
In time, Caroline Herschel was given a royal stipend to continue her work (£50 per year, for life); she was the first woman in British history to be granted a royal salary to pursue scientific research (and possibly the first woman in the world hired to do science on the public dime). She was the first woman to receive the Gold Medal of the Astronomical Society of London (in 1828), and the last to receive one until Vera Rubin's in 1996! The image on that medal: a bas relief of the Herschels' 40-foot telescope.
Caroline Herschel sacrificed a great deal for her work. She was pox-marked and stunted from childhood disease (a mere 4'3") and her family had abandoned any hope of her marrying. She pursued a career in music, but at her brother's request she gave it up to serve as his assistant and housekeeper. At one point, she claimed, "I did nothing for my brother but what a well-trained puppy dog would have done, that is to say, I did what he commanded me," a judgment history certainly would dispute. In proposing that she receive a royal salary, her brother acknowledged that he'd have to pay twice as much to hire a male assistant.
And yet she persevered, becoming one of the great scientists of her day, with her name attached to no fewer than 5 comets. Among her comets is the periodic comet 2P/Encke, the second periodic comet to have its return accurately predicted (after Halley's, of course).

'Top Chef' alum Edward Lee dishes on smoke, pickles
Edward Lee is all about reinvention. Raised in Brooklyn by his Korean-born parents and grandmother, Lee traded in his English lit laurels -- he graduated magna cum laude from New York University -- for a cook's smock in his early 20s.
But a pivotal visit to the 2002 Kentucky Derby sent him from the land of subways and high rises to the hills of Louisville, where he discovered the magic of bourbon, buttermilk and country ham. Soon after, he acquired 610 Magnolia from its longtime owners and here, in this tiny restaurant in the heart of Old Louisville, Lee forged the culinary identity that hit the spotlight last year on Bravo's "Top Chef."
Now, Lee has woven that lively, irreverent narrative through a new book, "Smoke and Pickles: Recipes and Stories from a Southern Kitchen" (Artisan, $29.95). Along the way, the book takes us on a global trek with recipe twists such as Collards and Kimchi, Adobo Fried Chicken and Waffles, Edamame Hummus and Coconut Rice Pudding Brulee. Thirsty? Wash it down with a glass of Bourbon Sweet Tea or Rhubarb Mint Tea -- moonshine, optional.
Naturally, we had questions, so we caught up with Lee on a break from his book tour.
Q: In "Smoke and Pickles," you write about how your grandmother cooked every day. What was your favorite?
Lee: She made a lot of things, but I think her greatest contribution was her kimchee. I think I do a pretty good job at it. But in her eyes, I would never make kimchee like hers.
Q: Growing up in New York and experiencing such a melting pot of cuisines, what flavor of the American South surprised you most?
Lee: The diversity of food in the South was probably the most surprising thing. There's a traditional dish called Country Captain that uses curry, and I thought that was interesting. We think of Southern food one way, but when you get into it, there are global influences in many of the dishes. If you look at cakes, coconut has become a beloved ingredient in a lot of Southern recipes. It isn't indigenous to the South -- it's more tropical.
Q: Give us an example of a dish that blends Korean and Southern cuisine.
Lee: The one I love most is Collards and Kimchi. It's such an iconic dish, a really great pairing symbolically, and it tastes great, too.
Q: How did your stint on "Top Chef" change your culinary identity?
Lee: I don't think it changed it. The show gave it a platform and extension beyond Louisville. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Probably wouldn't do it again, but I'm glad I did it once. It's an amazing franchise and brand, very high class, and now we all have our names attached to it.
Q: Speed is everything on "Top Chef." What's it like -- not having a lot of time to experiment before serving a new dish to someone?
Lee: It's stressful. You don't really have a lot of time to think it through. Some people do better than others, obviously. It's great entertainment, but it's the exact opposite of what we do in the restaurant, where we have a slow, methodical way of introducing new dishes. I'd never come into the kitchen two hours before service and say, "OK, here's what we're doing."
When you're thrust into a situation where you don't have time to think and experiment, you rely on instinct. Sometimes your instincts are good, and sometimes they're not. You win or lose based on the decisions you make in the first few minutes.

Bronx, NY – August 15, 2006 – The tenth anniversary of the premier Pro/Am BMX Freestyle Competition in New York City, The King of New York™ (www.kingofnewyorkbmx.com), was held on July 29 and for the first time in it's history was won by someone other than a local New York City rider. Mongoose's Steve McCann, 23, out of Melbourne, Australia came all the way from Woodward Camp in Central Pennsylvania to absolutely slay the newly redesigned course at Mullaly Park in the Bronx. Steve put on a show for the 2000 plus spectators throughout the day with smooth 720s on the box, 360 whips over the mini-spine, and scorching 95-degree style and flow to match the heat that day. Steve took home a check for $1000 plus a $500 gift certificate for some fresh gear from Azzure Denim clothing company.
Adrian Vigil, 19, from Henderson, Colorado took second place honors with tech style including barspin to wall taps on the eight-foot WesselBuilt wallride and truckdrivers to x-up on the street spine. Not to be outdone by the gringos, "The Bronx Bomber" and King of New York 2001 and 2002 Pro Champion, Jorge Jovel, 26, represented the Boogie Down right by flowing like the local he is and putting down one-footed x-up box flips and big no-handers on the quarter all day long.
The amateurs got down and dirty in the Bronx too, with great prizes on the line in the birthplace of hip-hop. Noel Gonzalez, 17, from Trenton, NJ took home first place honors in the Expert class, scoring the "Pro For A Day" one-day show package with the FreeCycle Action Sports Team, a free week at Woodward Camp, and a brand spankin' new Mongoose Simon Tabron signature bike. And while you're reading this, 14-year old Dan Depre, the Beginner class winner from Hagerstown, MD, is living it up with the top pros during his free stay at Woodward Camp this week.
Thanks go out to all the King of New York sponsors: Scion, Home Depot, Pony Malta, Maxxis, Woodward Sports Camp, Bell Helmets, The Children's Tumor Foundation, Azzure Denim, Street Sweeper Bicycles, and the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. Associate sponsors are Redbull, FreeCycle Action Sports Team, GT Bikes, Schwinn, Mongoose, Pyramid Shoes, BMX Invasion, S&M Bikes, Revenge Industries, Fit Bikes, Tree Bicycle Company, Hoffman Bikes, Group Home Bikes, and Bulldog Bike Company.

Losing Iraq: Inside the Postwar Reconstruction Fiasco
Basic Books, 28 апр. 2009 г. - Всего страниц: 304
According to conventional wisdom, Iraq has suffered because the Bush administration had no plan for reconstruction. That's not the case; the State Department's Future of Iraq group planned out the situation carefully and extensively, and Middle East expert David Phillips was part of this group. White House ideologues and imprudent Pentagon officials decided simply to ignore those plans. The administration only listened to what it wanted to hear. Losing Iraq doesn't't just criticize the policies of unilateralism, preemption, and possible deception that launched the war; it documents the process of returning sovereignty to an occupied Iraq. Unique, as well, are Phillips's personal accounts of dissension within the administration. The problems encountered in Iraq are troubling not only in themselves but also because they bode ill for other nation-building efforts in which the U.S. may become mired through this administration's doctrine of unilateral, preemptive war. Losing Iraq looks into the future of America's foreign policy with a clear-eyed critique of the problems that loom ahead.

Популярные отрывки
Стр. 103 - States like these, and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world. By seeking weapons of mass destruction, these regimes pose a grave and growing danger. They could provide these arms to terrorists, giving them the means to match their hatred. They could attack our allies or attempt to blackmail the United States. In any of these cases, the price of indifference would be catastrophic.
Стр. 16 - We must take the battle to the enemy, disrupt his plans, and confront the worst threats before they emerge. In the world we have entered, the only path to safety is the path of action. And this nation will act.
Стр. 16 - Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists. From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime.
Стр. 19 - Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. There is no doubt he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us.
Стр. 15 - President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.
Стр. 103 - We'll be deliberate, yet time is not on our side. I will not wait on events, while dangers gather. I will not stand by, as peril draws closer and closer. The United States of America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons.
Стр. 20 - America must not ignore the threat gathering against us. Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof— the smoking gun — that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud.
Стр. 58 - ... challenge regimes hostile to our interests and values; * we need to promote the cause of political and economic freedom abroad; <> we need to accept responsibility for America's unique role in preserving and extending an international order friendly to our security, our prosperity, and our principles.
Стр. 19 - Saddam Hussein could then be expected to seek domination of the entire Middle East, take control of a great portion of the world's energy supplies, directly threaten America's friends throughout the region, and subject the United States or any other nation to nuclear blackmail.
Стр. 55 - Are Security Council resolutions to be honored and enforced, or 1 http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/09/200209 1 2- 1 .html. cast aside without consequence? Will the United Nations serve the purpose of its founding, or will it be irrelevant?
