California should delay its exit-exam requirement for students with disabilities, recommends a draft research report that state legislators requested.
Beginning in the 2005-06 school year, all high school students in the state must pass the California High School Exit Exam to graduate. So far, only about 30 percent of students with disabilities who take the exam pass it on the first try, compared with 74 percent of those without disabilities, according to research conducted by the San Francisco-based WestEd, a nonprofit education research agency.
California should postpone the test for special education students for at least two years to give the state time to improve its special education offerings, the report urges, and should craft alternative assessments for students with disabilities.

|The atmosphere that protects us from gamma rays prevents us from directly observing them from the ground.|
A gamma ray is a photon more energetic than an X-ray (more than about 50 keV). Gamma rays are created from nuclear reactions or particle accelerations. Gamma rays are the most energetic photons of the electromagnetic spectrum.
The GLAST Burst Monitor (GBM) is the instrument on Fermi that is specifically designed to detect gamma-ray bursts.
Gravity is the attractive force of an object with mass on another object. The gravitational force between two objects depends on their masses and the distance between them. | <urn:uuid:ae7b4b39-2403-4c18-b3c7-d99dc50b5c03> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/GLAST/science/index.html | 2015-01-28T12:07:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422122102237.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124175502-00063-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.916336 | 126 | [

Tony O'Reilly, the Irish businessman whose investments once stretched to the New Zealand Herald newspaper, has asked for more time to sell assets to repay debts after a bank won a 22.6 million euro judgement against the one-time billionaire, the Irish Times reported.
In Ireland's Commercial Court, Allied Irish Bank accused O'Reilly of being insolvent and a judgment was entered for 22 million euros of loans to him and a further 23 million euros due from two investment companies, according to the report. The court heard O'Reilly owed a total of 195 million euros to eight banks and a fund, it said.
O'Reilly's lawyer Michael Cush sought a six-month stay on the judgment's registration and execution to allow completion of a sale of unsecured assets and Justice Peter Kelly is to rule on the request on Friday, media reported.
The 78-year-old lives in the Bahamas but was in Ireland for the court case, according to the reports.
O'Reilly, a former Ireland and British & Irish Lions rugby player lost a battle for control of Independent News & Media, which invested in the New Zealand Herald and New Zealand radio assets via APN News & Media, while suffering losses on investments including Waterford Wedgewood.
His Castlemartin estate and other property assets are on the market and he sold down below a 5 percent stake in INM in May. | <urn:uuid:6f059557-1210-4b2b-93e3-fb493a55a108> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.nbr.co.nz/article/tony-oreilly-seeks-more-time-after-irish-bank-acts-recoup-loans-irish-times-reports-bd-15823 | 2015-01-28T12:35:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422122102237.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124175502-00063-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.963045 | 285 | [

Smithsonian Museum Day Saturday
September 25, 2013
Stetson University, along with 11 participating museums and galleries located in West Volusia County, will be holding the annual Smithsonian Museum Day event on Saturday, Sept. 28. This event gives the opportunity to promote cultural education in an interactive way that is more accessible than ever. Each of these participating museums will be open, free of charge, offering free tours, refreshments, as well as artistic, hands-on activities for children.
A shuttle will be available for free transportation to eight out of the 11 participating museums, including: Stetson University’s Gillespie Museum, Hand Art Center, and the Natural History Museum inside Sage Hall Science Center, African American Museum of the Arts, Florida Museum for Women Artists, Museum of Art, The Henry A. DeLand House Museum & The Robert M. Conrad Educational & Research Center, and The DeLand Memorial Hospital Museum. The shuttles will be running every 15 minutes all day long, giving guests plenty of time to explore and enjoy each museum/gallery.
The Gillespie Museum, located at 234 E. Michigan Ave., on Stetson’s campus, will be featuring a never-before-seen exhibit called, “A Passion for Collecting.” This exhibit portrays the legacy of T.B. & Nellie Gillespie. The Gillespie Museum will also be offering activities for children including a beading workshop with minerals and stones, Geo-BINGO, refreshments, and free tours. This particular museum, along with the Natural History Museum and the Hand Art Center, all located on Stetson’s campus, are offering MainStreet dollars in exchange for an online coupon that is available on the Smithsonian webpage: www.smithsonianmag.com/museumday.
Smithsonian Museum Day is a national event where museums and galleries from all over the country collaborate with their respective local museums and hold a similar celebration to the annual event that DeLand is hosting.
“It is a really nice way of letting the community know about some of our lesser known collections including those in the Natural History Museum inside Sage Hall. That collection is only a few years old,” said Melissa Gibbs, Stetson biology professor. “This is the perfect opportunity to culturally grow in an interactive way and explore new, local exhibitions.”

Ask any thrifter and some of our best stories revolve around finding something for free. It may have been an antique table left by the rubbish bins or the free box at the driveway of a moving sale. Lately I've utilizing the Free tab on Craigslist. If you look under For Sale you'll find a tab marked free. It's similar to Freecycle where the concept is someone giving away something. You still have to be quick though because free items are generally swooped up very quickly.
What I've discovered during the last few weeks is that the busiest day on the Free section is Saturday afternoon. Especially when people are finished with their yard sales and would rather give it away than pack it back up to either store or donate.
Last Saturday a posting came up saying that everything is free in the driveway. It included pictures, household goods, baby clothes, books and adult clothing.
I only took a 1/4 of what was available on the blanket. In all I probably took 20 pieces of clothing. All for Free. Even if they averaged $10 each that would be an original value of $200. I'm guessing though that the value is more around $300-$350. All of the clothing are in really good condition. It was such a fun find at the end of a Saturday.
Take a look this week at your Craiglist free section or do it the old fashion way and keep your eyes peeled as you are driving through neighborhoods. I've seen so many items at the end of the driveway with a nice big "Free" sign asking you to take something away. The ideal thrifting experience.
Have a great thrifting weekend. | <urn:uuid:d7a8476c-fae4-47ac-8a1c-9bae8e2eca4a> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://apronthriftgirl.typepad.com/apron_thrift_girl/free_stuff/ | 2015-01-30T20:00:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422115861872.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124161101-00243-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.978316 | 337 | [

Time was when the President of the United States delivered the State of the Union Address, and people cheered or jeered — dependent on their political persusasion then everybody went out and g0t drunk.
Now everyone from the party boss to the janitor gets face time on the tube to pontificate on the state of affairs in the nation.
Barack Obama, of course, delivers the State of the Union next Tuesday. That’s part of his job as the top boss. The Republican Party gets its change to and down its view on the state of things in the official GOP response, delivered this year by Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, new chairman of the House Budget Committee.
But wait. This year there’s a new player in the halls of power. Re. Michele Bachmann, the mouth that roared ad designated shouter thisyear for the boom box majority,, will broadcast the the “official response” Tea Party Express.
No word yet on whether or no Joe the Plumber will deliver next year’s response for the butt crack maktet. | <urn:uuid:42dfcceb-e43e-4b56-aa8e-aecb3cbdc011> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.capitolhillblue.com/node/38073 | 2015-01-30T20:03:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422115861872.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124161101-00243-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.918711 | 249 | [

M&S Money urges householders to secure their sheds
M&S Money has urged householders to secure their sheds this summer following the results of a new survey issued by the insurance provider.
[UKPRwire, Wed Jul 21 2010] A new survey by M&S Money* has revealed that the average shed now holds £988 worth of contents - an increase of £100 from the 2009 figure**.
The most expensive items that people keep in their sheds are lawnmowers (38%), bikes (28%) and DIY equipment/tools (22%). However, the survey found that almost half of people questioned (49%) admitted they leave their shed unlocked at times. This figure has doubled in the past year, from just under a quarter (24%) in 2009.
Almost a fifth (18%) of respondents in this year's survey revealed they frequently leave their shed unlocked and, only 12% of respondents felt that their shed was very secure against burglary and would deter thieves.
M&S Money is urging householders to check that their home insurance policy covers items in their shed. M&S Home Insurance policy provides unlimited cover for theft of property from a shed. Policyholders must take reasonable steps to ensure they have secured their shed.
Andrew Ferguson, M&S Head of General Insurance, said: "The value of items kept in sheds can mount up, as our survey shows. We would urge householders to check whether their home insurance policy provides adequate cover for theft from a shed, and what security measures they may need to demonstrate to ensure any claims made are valid."

Hunter is still a good player. Wish the Sox had more of his type even if he 'only' hits .270. I'd take that in a heartbeat over some of the averages in the Sox lineup.
Detroit is simply going to bludgeon teams next year.
We said that last offseason too.

CBNNews.com - RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Saudi Arabian construction contractors refuse to send crews to the Gaza Strip, citing the security situation.
Saudi Arabia pledged $1 billion to help Gaza residents rebuild following Israel's three-week military operation, but its relations with the terror group deteriorated after supporting Egypt's refusal to open the Rafah border crossing, despite demands by Hamas.
Besides that, both Egypt and Saudi Arabia boycotted an "emergency" Arab conference in Qatar last month, meant to rally support for Hamas.
Saudi contractors fear potential reprisals by Hamas against its construction crews so they are refusing to send them at this time.
"The necessary measures must be taken to ensure safety," said Abdullah al-Amar, chairman of the Saudi National Contractor's Committee, who also serves on the kingdom's Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Committee member Muhammad al-Atas said Saudi companies were fearful of the political and security situation in Gaza.
"It's dangerous going to areas where there is no political authority and where the security situation is shaky," al-Atas said.

A common problem with installing electric strikes is cavity depth – that is, how deeply you need to cut into the frame (or wall) so that the electric strike will fit. For most of the twentieth century electric strikes were, and most still are, designed without consideration for this factor. Instead they are designed for burglary resistance and durability.
Click on the dimensional diagram of the Von Duprin 6211 electric strike at right. You can see that its total depth is 1-11/16 inches. All of its internal parts are heavy duty, and it has a heavy cast body and a thick, finished face plate. Most of the parts are individually replaceable. To install the 6211 in a hollow metal door frame, the dust box must be removed and often material inside the door frame – sheet rock, wood, masonry, whatever – must be removed in order to accommodate the strike. If the strike must be installed in a grouted door frame the installer is in for perhaps an hour’s worth of work that may involve a masonry drill, a 2-1/2 lb. sledge hammer, a masonry chisel and safety goggles.
In more recent years a new generation of low profile (shallow depth) electric strikes has become available, offering unprecedented ease of installation. The HES 5000 (illustration at left) was one of the first strikes on the scene to offer a depth of only 1-1/16 inches, and advertised that it could be installed without even removing the dust box from the frame. I have found it is usually much easier to knock out the dust box for wiring reasons, but it is true that the unit will fit neatly inside most original equipment dust boxes in hollow metal frames.
More recent offerings in the shallow depth electric strike department include the Trine 3478, the HES 8000 and the Adams Rite 7440, illustrations shown at the end of this article. All are UL Listed burglary resistant. The HES 8000 offers 1500 lbs. holding force, the 3478 offers 1200 lbs. holding force and the Adams Rite, with its innovative double keeper design, offers 2400 lbs. of holding force. The Trine 3478 offers an install with a very tiny lip cutout, and the HES 8000 offers the advantage of needing no lip cutout at all. Each of them fit in a strike cavity only 1-1/16 inches deep.
These strikes have revolutionized electric strike installation. Before, a good installer might install six or ten electric strikes in a day. Now a really fast installer might be able to install 20 or more, greatly reducing labor and other costs associated with installation.
What’s the Trade-Off?
None of the internal parts of these strikes are available. When these strikes break, you throw them away and buy new ones. Also they do not last as long. Whereas it is not unusual to see a Von Duprin 6211 or a Folger Adam 712 still in use after 10 or even 20 years, 6 years of service is a long time for a low profile strike. In ten years you might be replacing a spring or solenoid in a Von Duprin, but you might be installing your second or third low profile strike in the same door frame in that same amount of time. This is a small inconvenience.
Upon installing that third strike in the same hole, you probably will not yet have equaled the price of a single Folger Adam 712 or Von Duprin 6211. If price up front is the primary consideration, low profile is definitely the way to go. But if in about 12 years you are installing the fourth replacement strike in the same prep, those expensive, harder-to-install, heavy duty strikes start to look like a much better value.

Rutgers isn't afraid of change. That was evident when the program made the jump to the Big Ten. Now, just over a month away from hosting the first ever Big Ten game in Piscataway, NJ, the school has made an alteration to High Points Solution Stadium.
Officials have removed the letters spelling out "The Birthplace of College Football,'' and the fixture that signifies the Scarlet Knights' place in college football history is moving to a different part of the stadium.
According to a statement from Jason Baum, Rutgers' senior associate athletic director for communications, digital signing will now allow 'The Birthplace' to be displayed multiple times per game throughout the stadium.
For any venue, change and evolution is inevitable. Rutgers is embarking on a path that will lead to bigger attendance figures and more eyeballs on each game. Upgrade and tweaks to areas of the stadium, tradition aside, are bound to continue.
As expected, some fans understand the reality of change and the merits of using technology to enhance the game day experience. Others, however, are resistant to changing program tradition.
Here is a sampling of the crowd on this discussion:
A little upset it's moving, but i'll get over it quickly. There are more important things to worry about than a sign being somewhere in the stadium.
So much for Rutgers pride!
Were they worried about ridicule or were they afraid they might hurt some other team's feelings.
Bad Move! Do most people in BIG 10 territory know this, and even if they do they consider PA, OH, IL, MI, etc, the REAL birthplace. A permanent sign behind the endzone gets MAX exposure weather in person or on TV every time there is a FG attempt or TD scored. Announcers mentioning it assumes that most people actually listen to or hear these idiots, depending on where you are watching the game. Leaving the sign where it is would start a conversation, going to Wikepedia to verify, whatever, but it would be a POSITIVE for RU and NJ.
As long as they display it elsewhere, I'm ok with this. Money does matter to big time college football. But if the plan is to flash it on the scoreboard during TV timeouts, that will be a disappointment.
Let's hope that it is replaced at a prominent place on the field. With all the talk of the B1G's "storied" football programs and traditions, we need to remind the teams in the conference that we have football roots that are older than theirs. And some day soon we will have the performance to match!
Have an opinion of your own? Weigh in and keep the conversation going. | <urn:uuid:2f7f5228-528b-49c9-b41d-d518677bc9e4> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.nj.com/rutgersfootball/index.ssf/2014/08/your_comments_njcom_users_react_to_rutgers_stadium_changes.html | 2015-01-26T06:48:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422120394037.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124172634-00147-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.956928 | 546 | [

The 34th edition of the Greater Jacksonville Kingfish Tournament is on tap this week, and while it’s a wild guess where and how the biggest king mackerel of the event will be caught, a pretty good bet could be made that the winning fish will be taken while slow-trolling a live bait.
Although “naked” natural baits can, and do, account for plenty of oversize king mackerel, rare is the tournament angler or weekend warrior who doesn’t troll at least some baits dressed up with an extra bit of color, flash and style. In truth, the use of such colorful “attractors” in kingfish bait spreads is as common today as T-tops and stainless steel props on modern marine boats.
The reason is simple: A bit of flash and panache on a leader ahead of even the friskiest live bait often gets the attention of big king mackerel. A little skirt of color just might trigger a strike from a following fish that may tip the scales in favor of a tournament winner. And for as much as it costs for a day of king mackerel fishing, a couple of more dollars for a few attractors used with bait rigs is money well spent – especially when there are big tournament bucks at stake.
Plastic, vinyl and other synthetic attractor skirts are available in a wide variety of sizes, styles and types; and all can make a big difference in the size and number of kingfish caught in a day of offshore trolling.
It takes skill and experience in knowing what “attractor” to use with what live or dead natural bait. Trolling depth, boat speed, water conditions, clarity and other factors may dictate the use of one style attractor over another. Putting that fishing puzzle together is what dupes big fish and wins tournaments. The following “attractor” lures are among the best and most popular in the world of king mackerel mania; and they are part of the solution to topping tournaments.
1) C&H “King Buster”: Named after the popular St. Augustine kingfish tournament, the little “King Buster” is one of the longtime standards of “attractors” used with natural baits — alive and dead. Measuring just under three inches from nose to tail, “King Busters” are available in a staggering variety of 30 colors. Everything from flaming pink to subdued blue, white to chartreuse/orange fire tail and every hue in between is made.
The lure has a chrome-plated brass head, which provides plenty of flash during clear-water, bright-sun trolling. The 1/8-ounce head is light and streamline shaped, and the line hole drilled through the head is large and durable, easily accommodating a wide range of leader and line sizes and diameters. The brass head holds up well to repeated strikes from toothy kingfish.
The lure’s vinyl skirt is held in place by a small rubber band, which while it can be severed by fish teeth, is easily replaced. The rubber band and specially designed “King Buster” head cause its vinyl skirt to flare out nicely. This makes for good action during trolling, and also is helpful in properly positioning a lure over the nose of a live or dead bait.
2) Boone Bait “Pearl Duster”: Dave Workman of Jacksonville’s Strike Zone tackle shop is one of the biggest names in king mackerel tournament fishing, and he designed the “Pearl Duster” attractor. The lure is a proven fish killer and event winner, which comes in four colors, and features a fish-drawing, durable chrome head. The head is just heavy enough to keep a trolled bait just below the surface. But it’s not so heavy to interfere with live bait action.
The lure has a wispy mylar-style, iridescent skirt, which seems too lightweight and flimsy to stand up to the terrible ripping power of kingfish and other marine species. But the ultra-fine skirt is so thin it slides between and around razor-edged teeth, so it holds up well. The skirt is held onto the 1/8-ounce chrome-plated brass head with heavy-duty wrapping thread. This thread could succumb to kingfish, too, but a dab of hot glue or epoxy can help turn fish teeth away from cutting thread wraps.
3) Iland Lures “Tracker Flasher”: A slightly larger, heavier lure with more skirt flare, Iland Lures’ “Tracker Flasher” is durable and innovative. The ¾-ounce lure measures just 4.25 inches. However, the lure seems larger because of an oversize flashy bullet-shaped chrome head (to reduce spinning during trolling) and the triple-row nylon skirt flares the lure nearly four inches wide at the rear. This wide nylon skirt gives the lure great “pulsing” action when trolled, or when used with oversize live baits.
Its tapered shiny head has a large and rounded line hole that resists fraying monofilament or kinking wire. The lure also has large glass eyes that many anglers believe is an attractive target point for predators like kingfish, dolphin, tuna and others. The “Tracker Flasher” comes equipped with a four-inch clear plastic sleeve “spacer,” used to position it well ahead of rigged baits like ballyhoo or even a large live menhaden.
Because of its larger size, shape and very well-made body and skirt, the “Tracker Flasher” can be trolled at much higher speeds (5 to 12 knots) than many other attractors. For this reason it’s used often with dead baits and strips, especially when a lot of water must be covered quickly to locate fish.
4) Blue Water Candy “Feather Weight Skirts”: A North Carolina company touts these attractors as “skirts for reel men,” which may be the ultimate description for these super lightweight kingfish killers. While “Feather Weight Skirts” can be fished with dead or live bait, they may be the definitive attractor for small, fragile live baits like menhaden, since they are almost weightless.
Feather Weight Skirts add color and flash to a bait, but do not in any way inhibit its lively natural action. They have a super lightweight transparent plastic head, designed to allow maximum action from slow-trolled live baits. While the plastic head may be suspect by some anglers who know what large kingfish teeth can do, the durable plastic is corrosion proof, so line-leader fraying from rusting lure hardware is not an issue.
While light iridescent skirts only measure four inches, they have remarkable flare from the head. This wide skirt profile makes the lure pulsate enticingly when a live bait swims with the lure. Another plus for the “Feather Weight” design is its skirt is attached to the plastic head with very heavy, dental floss-like thread. This is durable and resists fraying and cutting from the rigors of trolling and strikes from toothy fish.
Soft skirt colors feature a “glow” luminescence making them especially good for deep, downrigger trolling. They’re made in the U.S. | <urn:uuid:0ec99fd5-6206-419f-b935-7e9155710109> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://jacksonville.com/sports/2014-07-19/story/kingfish-love-flash-panache | 2015-02-01T05:36:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422122127848.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124175527-00051-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.935476 | 1,562 | [

For virtually all of the new millennium, Elevator Brewery & Draught Haus has occupied the Downtown space in which the Clock restaurant and bar was located for decades.
Much of the original incarnation of the venue — the Bott Bros. bar — has been preserved, including the great bar in the front of the house. Booths and tables for dining are in the back half.
With the fine-quality pizza lineup gone, the mostly American menu seems as if it’s been slimmed down.
As the menu promises, the competent calamari ($9) are flash-fried. They’re finished in a sweet glaze that has an appropriate level of chili heat and, for those who want more spice, plated with swirls of sri racha sauce. Accompanying the seafood is a small cucumber salad that has been given a treatment halfway between a dressing and pickling.
The use of a little Worcestershire sauce is apparently one of the reasons the dressing on the Caesar salad ($7) has a welcoming traditional flavor. The fresh romaine lettuce avoids the current fashion of extraneous additions; there are simply some decent croutons, grated Parmesan and a few anchovy fillets.
The daily soup lineup can feature an interesting red bean, corn and shredded chicken soup ($5 for a bowl) that’s more like a chowder. The dark base is effectively flavored with Cajun seasonings.
Three large crab cakes ($21) are topped with a sauce called remoulade but which gives almost no indication of the requisite mustard. Some mustard notes would have been a nice contrast to the rich, bland crab cakes. The “Dijon-beurre-blanc sauce” didn’t provide much mustard flavor.
A mound of what is billed as wild rice is mostly long-grain white rice with wild rice mixed in. It’s a foil to the rich crab cakes. Grilled asparagus rounds out the plate.
The main virtue of the full rack of baby-back ribs ($28) is the fact that they’re well-rendered. They’re not very smoky and have too little of the promised beer-braised and -grilled flavor. A bit of chipotle barbecue sauce helps, but not enough to tip this into being a full-flavored set of ribs.
The ribs are served with skin-on fries with a light dusting of Cajun seasoning that tries to make up for a lack of potato taste.
A red-cabbage slaw has a dressing that is light and perky.
The drunken mussels linguine ($18) uses egg pasta; my serving was cooked soft. The Prince Edward Island mussels were properly cooked and gave good flavor to the beer-based broth, which is seasoned with diced sweet peppers and bacon. The result is more than the sum of its parts.
The Cajun chicken penne ($18) features a successful blend of shallot, garlic, tomato, green onion and sweet peppers that joins with Cajun spices to season the chicken and the cream sauce.
It’s one of the best dishes sampled here.
Among desserts, the Buckeye brownie ($7) is an imposing combination of chocolate and of peanuts, which are part of the brownie and the main flavor of the scoop of ice cream on top.
The fruit cobbler ($7) has mediocre mixed berries (including blueberries and cherries) in a sweet syrup. The fruit surrounds a lump of dense, flavorless dough, and the jarring addition of chocolate syrup detracts from the fruit flavors.
A scoop of vanilla ice cream doesn’t save the dish.
The creme fraiche cheesecake ($7) is, as promised, lightly textured. It lacked flavor — perhaps the inclusion of the poached pear that was in the menu description would have helped.
Given the fact that Elevator runs its own brewery, the beverage of choice here is almost always a beer. Making a selection among the various candidates is a lot easier when you take advantage of Elevator’s sampler program: flights of three or six four-ounce samples ($4.50 for three, $9 for six). | <urn:uuid:03b3e262-2f85-43af-8d74-33b19a8b5142> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/life_and_entertainment/2014/06/05/mainstay-of-downtown-dining-has-a-few-dishes-worth-trying.html | 2015-02-01T05:49:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422122127848.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124175527-00051-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.948479 | 880 | [

Killing is our business, and the business of dealing death in a blind rage stripped to the waist has never been better. Plus it makes us want to play God of War III even more now. One wonders if Sony might pull some exclusive downloadable content out of the bag once the game has shipped, like new weapons, levels or ever a multiplayer mode? We’ll have to wait and see.
Chains of Olympus, even at this early stage, is a gob-smacking debut for Kratos on PSP and our guess is, just the start of a new adventure for the bald headed brute - a link to God of War III, perhaps? This is a renewed beginning for Sony’s bloodiest franchise ever. Start sharpening your blades for next year. | <urn:uuid:917f1e44-4c0d-4347-a475-36edbbcf41df> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.gamesradar.com/god-of-war-chains-of-olympus-10/?page=4 | 2015-02-01T05:59:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422122127848.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124175527-00051-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.936622 | 158 | [

Fraud Prevention Education Campaign Targets Medicare Beneficiaries
Ensuring Seniors Have the Information They Need to Protect Themselves
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has begun sending $250 rebate checks to consumers in the Medicare drug coverage gap, also known as the "doughnut hole." HHS will send an estimated 80,000 checks to people who have entered the coverage gap since the start of 2010, and will continue to send the rebates on a rolling basis approximately every month to people who newly enter the doughnut hole.
Last year, roughly 156,000 Medicare beneficiaries in Ohio hit the doughnut hole.
As eligible seniors receive their tax-free, one time rebate check, partners in the State of Ohio's Take Action - Protect Yourself from Fraud program are cautioning seniors with Medicare to be on the alert for scams involving the checks. HHS, the Administration on Aging and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have launched a national education effort to ensure that seniors have the information they need to protect themselves from potential scams or fraud when it comes to their Medicare benefits. Stopmedicarefraud.gov details how Medicare is working with law enforcement to stop scams against seniors.
Senior citizens are being warned that scammers might try to trick them into providing personal information such as bank account and Social Security numbers to expedite receipt of their rebates. Seniors should be on the look-out for scams where people they don't know ask them for their personal information in order to get their checks.
Beneficiaries do not need to provide any personal information, such as Medicare, Social Security or bank account numbers to get the rebate check. Senior citizens are being warned not to give any personal information to anyone who calls about the $250 rebate check.
The federal government tracks prescription drug spending and automatically issues checks to those who qualify for rebates and are not already receiving Medicare Extra Help. There are no forms to fill out. Checks will be mailed in envelopes bearing the Department of Health and Human Services logo to the same address Medicare uses to send beneficiaries information now.
Rebate checks will be mailed monthly as beneficiaries enter the coverage gap. Beneficiaries who hit the doughnut hole should expect to receive their checks within 45 days. This is a one-time benefit and beneficiaries who qualify will only receive one check after they reach the coverage gap. Individuals receiving Medicare Extra Help will not receive a rebate check.
Take Action and AARP Ohio advise seniors:
- Save receipts for any out-of-pocket drug costs. If you think you have reached the doughnut hole and have not received your check within a few months, having the receipts will be helpful when talking to Medicare.
- Checks will be mailed automatically to those who qualify within 45 days of reaching the gap. You do not have to do anything. Medicare tracks your drug costs for you. Once you reach the coverage gap, you will receive a check.
- Checks will be mailed to the address Social Security uses to reach you. If you need to change your address, call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213. If you prefer, a change of address may also be reported by calling or visiting your local Social Security office.
- If an unsolicited visitor comes to your home or someone calls you saying they are a representative from Medicare and need personal information to process your Part D rebate, calmly request their personal information (e.g., name, business affiliation and phone number) and inform them you will call them back. Do not call them back, but instead, immediately contact the local police, the Ohio Attorney General's Office at 1-800-282-0515 or online at www.speakoutohio.gov, or the Take Action program at 1-800-686-1526.
The health reform law gradually phases out the doughnut hole. This year, people who enter the coverage gap will receive the one-time $250 rebate check. Beginning next year, consumers in the doughnut hole will receive a 50 percent discount on brand-name drugs and a 7 percent discount on generics. The share consumers pay for both brand-name and generic drugs will decrease until the gap is eliminated in 2020, when consumers will pay the standard 25 percent of the costs for drugs while in the doughnut hole.
CMS has created a free brochure, Closing the Prescription Drug Coverage Gap, which details the rebate check program.

Policy & Legislation
Thousands To Receive Coverage Gap Rebate in June
As required by the new health care reform law, on June 15, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will begin sending $250 rebate checks to Medicare consumers who have entered the Part D prescription drug coverage gap this year. HHS will continue to mail checks approximately every six weeks. Participants should see their rebate check approximately three months after hitting the donut hole. An estimated four million Medicare consumers will receive checks in 2010, and about 80,000 individuals will receive theirs in June. People who qualify for the rebate will receive it automatically and will not need to fill out any forms. Participants who currently receive "extra help" with their Medicare costs will not receive the $250 rebate.
Three Papers on Medicaid Long-Term Services and Supports
The Center for Health Care Strategies has produced three documents as part of its Innovations in the Medicaid Continuum of Care series, which was developed to help state and federal policymakers identify high-quality and cost-effective strategies for addressing the full range of clinical and long-term supports and services (LTSS) needs of Medicaid beneficiaries. The reports include: Systems of Care: Environmental Scan of Medicaid-Funded Long-Term Supports and Services, Medicaid-Funded Long-Term Supports and Services: Snapshots of Innovation, which presents an array of alternatives for reforming the delivery of LTSS, and the policy brief, Medicaid-Funded Long-Term Care: Toward More Home- and Community-Based Options. | <urn:uuid:95dcf99a-f218-4ab9-b104-fc528970ae38> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://aging.ohio.gov/news/agingconnection/2010July/policy.asp | 2015-01-30T09:24:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422115862432.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124161102-00231-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.941966 | 1,231 | [

Continuing their look at static methods in PHP, DevShed has posted this new tutorial (the second in the series) focusing on using the methods to create a simple loader application.
As its name suggests, a file loading program (or a resource loading program, to express the concept more accurately), is simply a PHP module that takes care of including, usually via its set of "include()/require() native functions, files that are required by an application to make it work as expected. [...] It's worthwhile to mention, however, that it was necessary to create an instance of the aforementioned class to load a determined file. This is a process that can be completely avoided in terms of good coding habits. But how can this be achieved? Well, it's feasible to statically call the class's load()" method, preventing its unwanted instantiation.
The code examples of the simple loader class (a require_once wrapped in a try/catch) and a usage example. | <urn:uuid:bbe512d3-e999-42dc-9e77-464b9c5288e7> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://phpdeveloper.org/news/12624 | 2015-01-30T09:25:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422115862432.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124161102-00231-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.956955 | 198 | [

A native floridian, with a large dose of puerto rican spice. I'm a simple gal with values, and morals. I'm also smart, sweet, sexy, and sometimes sassy. I consider myself to be uncomplicated, but some may beg to differ. I am sensitive, passionate, fun-loving, and quirky, but at times can be a moody introvert...
The type of man that I am in search of will be honest, sensitive, patient, loving, and kind, family-oriented, funny, smart, romantic, sexy, some what laid back in nature, but can have a spontaneous streak. He will treat me with sensitivity, and respect.

The Senate made a gallant effort last week to justify its former reputation as the world’s greatest deliberative body as it tried to define the government’s authority to detain suspected terrorists. The week began with a bipartisan compromise fashioned by two senators with experience generally taking the high road on the issues and ended on Dec. 1 with a thorough, and well-reasoned, floor debate.
Despite those indicia of legislative statesmanship, the detention provisions included in the National Defense Authorization Act represent a step backward in the United States’ war against al Qaeda. Once again, Congress wants to micromanage the Obama administration’s enforcement tactics against al Qaeda members by limiting prosecutions in federal courts in favor of trials in the still unproven system of military commissions. In addition, the Senate majority apparently hopes courts will allow use of military-style detention and interrogation against suspected terrorists even if they are U.S. citizens arrested within the United States.
True, the two sections at issue could have been worse. In section 1032, the bill supposedly mandates military detention for persons “determined to be part of al Qaeda or associated forces” who “have participated in a planned or actual attack or attempted attack on the United States or its coalition partners.” But it allows the administration to waive that requirement if it shows that a waiver would best serve the interest of national security.
The mandatory military detention provision would not apply to U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. But in section 1031, the bill leaves unclear whether the general authority to detain suspected members of al Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces applies to U.S. citizens. An earlier version had been written to apply to U.S. citizens unless prohibited by the Constitution.
In fashioning the compromise, Sens. Carl Levin, D-Mich., and John McCain, R-Ariz., chairman and ranking member respectively of the Armed Services Committee, said it was designed to leave the law on the issue unchanged. In effect, that would leave as the last word on the subject the Supreme Court’s somewhat cryptic decision in Hamdi v. Rumsfeld (2004). That ruling allowed military detention of a U.S. citizen captured abroad but left unanswered the question of military detention for a citizen arrested within the United States.
In Senate debate last week, California Democrat Dianne Feinstein, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, passionately argued against allowing indefinite military detention of U.S. citizens. “This country is special because we have certain values, and due process of law is one of those values,” Feinstein said. “So I object. I object to holding American citizens without trial.”
From the opposite side, South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham, a former military lawyer, argued with equal force in favor of allowing military detention for U.S. citizens: “I am just saying, to any American citizen: If you want to help al-Qaida, you do so at your own peril,” Graham said. “You can get killed in the process. You can get detained indefinitely.”
Feinstein’s amendment failed on a mostly party-line 45-55 vote. Three Republicans voted in favor: Illinois moderate Mark Kirk and the libertarian-minded Mike Lee of Utah and Rand Paul of Kentucky. But the amendment fell short because 10 Democrats joined 45 Republicans in opposing it.
Feinstein succeeded, however, with a second amendment that makes explicit that the provision has no effect on existing authority to detain U.S. citizens. Adopted with only one dissenting vote, the amendment effectively leaves it to the courts to answer the question left unresolved in Hamdi. In debate, Feinstein said both Levin and McCain had promised to defend that version of the legislation in conference with the House.
The House version of the defense authorization bill is more stringent in several respects, including in its provision to require military commission trials for all suspected terrorists. The House version also would bar transferring suspected terrorists captured abroad into the United States and make it harder for the administration to transfer any of the current Guantanamo detainees to other countries. The Senate’s bill generally leaves those issues untouched.
The preference in both chambers for military over civilian trials for suspected terrorists elevates ideological posturing over fact-based decision-making. As Feinstein and others pointed out, the government has successfully prosecuted hundreds of suspected terrorists since 9/11, under presidents of both parties: Republican George W. Bush and Democrat Barack Obama. That list extends from “shoe bomber” Richard Reid, serving a life sentence for his foiled aircraft bomb attempt in December 2001, to Faisal Shahzad, also serving a life sentence for his attempted Times Square bombing in May 2010.
Major administration officials, including Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, CIA Director David Petraeus, and FBI Director Robert Mueller, argued against those provisions as the bills moved through the House and Senate. After the Senate action, White House officials raised the possibility of a veto.
The administration gave way earlier this year, however, when Congress prohibited bringing any Guantanamo detainees to the United States for trial in civilian courts. The result has been to slow the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the other alleged 9/11 co-conspirators. Facts and logic notwithstanding, Obama may well find he has little choice again if Congress insists on dictating where best to prosecute suspected al Qaeda members. | <urn:uuid:7b8ae1ec-68d6-4545-8bbe-464cca1ac898> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://jostonjustice.blogspot.com/2011/12/meddlesome-congress-is-no-help-on-war.html | 2015-02-01T18:08:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422121478981.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124174438-00135-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.948989 | 1,102 | [

Nashville, TN (PRWEB) November 13, 2012
SOTL.com, The Voice of the Players, polled more than 100 current and former NFL players about the opportunity to play more games in London with this week’s player poll question:
“Is It a Good Idea to Have More NFL Games in London?”
While nearly 66% of the players polled say yes, it’s time for the NFL to go global, 56% of NFL fans disagree.
New England Patriots Devin McCourty and Stevan Ridley recently traveled to London as part of the NFL’s International Series where the Patriots served as the "road team" during the matchup with the Saint Louis Rams on October 28. The players commented on the poll question at SOTL.com as it relates to having more NFL games in London.
“Yes, because of how well the NFL is received in London,” said McCourty. “It is a tough trip for the players, but well worth the experience.”
“I think it is an awesome idea to be able to play there (London) because it lets you see how much other countries enjoy America's favorite sport," said Ridley.
Other NFL players agree, including Texans running back Ben Tate who said:
“Yes, it's a good idea because it brings more exposure to the sport outside of the United States,” said Tate.
Of the players polled, 34% do not like the idea and say it’s too tough on players. Steelers linebacker James Harrison is not a fan of the idea of having more games abroad with his comment on the site:
“No, there is too big of a time difference,” said Harrison.
London is lobbying to get a permanent NFL franchise, and the league says it has strong financial prospects in England. That could mean more disruptive road trips at a time when players already are coping with a full slate of Thursday night games. And moving games -- or an entire franchise -- to London would take games out of a U.S. market, unless the league expands. While the majority of the NFL players polled agree it’s time to go global, it’s doubtful they’d be thrilled with playing multiple games throughout a season overseas.

Gran Canaria definitely caters to children on holiday. With a plethora of fantastic family attractions, kids will have a great time exploring this island.

Mangroves under threat from shrimp farms: U.N.
Author: Alister Doyle
Workers load baskets of shrimps onto a truck at a shrimp farm, which was formerly a mangrove swamp, in Kuala Selangor, 90 km (56 miles) west of Kuala Lumpur, June 10, 2005.

Valuable mangrove forests that protect coastlines, sustain sealife and help slow climate change are being wrecked by the spread of shrimp and fish farms, a U.N.-backed study showed on Wednesday.
About a fifth of mangroves worldwide have been lost since 1980, mostly because of clearance to make way for the farms which often get choked with waste, antibiotics and fertilizers, according to the study.
Intact mangroves were almost always more valuable than shrimp farms, said its authors, who drew on forestry and conservation expertise from several U.N. organizations.
Mangroves - trees and shrubs that grow in salty coastal sediment - can be found in 123 nations in the tropics and sub-tropics and cover an area slightly larger than Nepal. They are nurseries for wild fish stocks, sources of wood for building and serve as buffers to storm surges.
They absorb carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas from burning of fossil fuels, and store it in their roots. And their growth can help counteract the effects of rising sea levels as it elevates coastlines.
"There is an opportunity for many countries to go for restoration of mangroves," Hanneke Van Lavieren, lead author of the study at the U.N. University's Institute for Water, Environment and Health (UNWEH), told Reuters.
"Mangroves can be seen as a key ecosystem for food security in the world," she said.
Many of the shrimp farms are in southeast Asian nations. World production surged to about 2.8 million metric tons (3.1 million tons) in 2008 from about 500,000 two decades earlier, mostly in China, Thailand and Indonesia.
The fish farmers are often encouraged by subsidies to expand, even though other lucrative businesses depend on mangroves for their own survival.
Wild prawns caught off Australia's Northern Territories and Queensland, for instance, rely on mangroves to grow and are one of the country's most valuable fisheries, earning almost $72 million a year, the report said.
Protecting almost 12,000 hectares (30,000 acres) of mangroves in Vietnam cost about $1 million but saved more than $7 million on dyke maintenance, it said.
Countries such as Australia and Brazil had been good at preserving their mangroves while nations including Indonesia, China and Vietnam had lost big tracts and projects to restore them needed more support.
Zafar Adeel, head of UNWEH, suggested that people could also choose to avoid buying shrimps raised in farms.
"We as consumers internationally play a big role," he said. "For the first time in human history about half the global population is living in coastal areas. The stresses are going to be higher."

AURORA – For the second straight year, the Aurora Christian football team will have a nontraditional Thanksgiving experience.
The Eagles aren’t complaining.
Aurora Christian heads to Champaign today in advance of Friday’s 4 p.m. IHSA Class 3A state championship game against Tolono Unity.
“I didn’t miss Thanksgiving at all last year,” Aurora Christian coach Don Beebe said. “If I could spend my Thanksgivings in Champaign for the rest of my coaching career, I’ll take it.”
For the second straight year, the team plans to gather for a Thanksgiving dinner at a church in Champaign. Senior two-way lineman Josh Kok has fond memories from a year ago.
“For the most part, yeah,” Kok said. “We all eat dinner as a team and with our families. I think we went to a church and ate last year, and they made us food. We didn’t have turkey and stuff, but we had ham. It was pretty good.”
Beebe said the Eagles’ itinerary for the trip is a virtual replica of last year’s trip, which culminated with a championship win against Mount Carmel.
Beebe is a creature of habit – especially when there is no reason to change course.
“Our routine’s the same,” Beebe said. “When we leave, when we have the meeting, when we’ll go over to the stadium. Everything will be exactly the same as what we did last year. And it worked well.”
Three musketeers: Northern Illinois-bound seniors Chad Beebe, Joel Bouagnon and Brandon Mayes will play their final game together for Aurora Christian on Friday, but their bond figures to continue strengthening.
The three are each ticketed to be roommates in DeKalb. Don Beebe said the trio already is tight, despite Mayes needing to make room in the Eagles’ backfield this season for Bouagnon, a Burlington Central transfer.
“I wouldn’t want, as a parent, two better roommates than Brandon Mayes and Joel Bouagnon for my son, Chad,” Beebe said. “They’re great. And both Brandon and Joel have had this mentality of ‘Hey, you take this one.’ It’s not ‘Hey, I’ve got this one,’ it’s ‘You take this one.’”
The coach said he was impressed that Bouagnon, who starred for the Rockets as a junior, didn’t pout when the Eagles focused on retooling their passing game early in the season.
“Matter of fact, I even went to him one time and I said ‘Joel, i just want you to know, your day’s coming, you’re going to get the ball, I’ve just got to get [quarterback Ryan McQuade] on a roll,’” Beebe said.
“You know what he said to me? He says ‘OK coach, I just want to win. We’re alright.’ I turned around, and I was like ‘Are you kidding me?’ That was unbelievable. You just don’t hear that nowadays.”
Welcome home: Win or lose, Aurora Christian has scheduled a “Welcome home” celebration for 5 p.m. Saturday at the Aurora Christian gymnasium. Everyone is welcome.
Starting at 3:30 p.m., there will be a parade beginning at the Orchard Church at Galena and Barnes streets. | <urn:uuid:03d7b5e6-8e4c-494b-a9f5-d9a15331c757> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.kcchronicle.com/2012/11/22/aurora-christian-football-replicating-last-years-thanksgiving-trip/a7xfd5u/?list-comments=1 | 2015-01-26T20:35:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422122191023.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124175631-00039-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.958514 | 794 | [

There are 13 Broadway debuts among the cast and creatives of the new musical "Newsies." Twelve from the cast. All in their early 20s, by the looks of them. And one fellow . . . well, not.
"I may be one of the oldest people making his Broadway debut as a songwriter . . . ever," says Jack Feldman, chuckling.
The "Newsies" lyricist, at 61, has been writing songs since growing up in Lawrence and pen- ning student shows at Woodmere Academy. "I've written pop music and songs for movies and TV," he says. "But the one thing I wanted to do most took me longest to get to. Which makes it sweeter."
And unexpected given that it's . . . this show. "Newsies," loosely based on the New York newsboy strike of 1899, opens at the Nederlander Theatre Thursday. It follows newsboy Jack Kelly (played by Jeremy Jordan) and his ragtag pals in a revolt against newspaper owners like Joseph Pulitzer, who charged newsboys for the papers they sold on street corners. And it's the least likely show to reach Broadway in some time.
A cult following, fueled mainly by kids watching the 1992 movie later on TV or video, revived its reputation. Disney had so many requests from school and theater groups for a stage version they finally relented, reuniting Feldman and composer Alan Menken to flesh out a full score and hiring Tony winner Harvey Fierstein to rework the troubled plot.
But the fans -- or "fansies," as ardent ones are called -- had other ideas.
Life imitating art imitating life
In a scenario akin to "Newsies' " plot, public outcry could not be ignored. Last fall's Paper Mill production sparked rave reviews and feverish online chatter. So with a big corporate shrug of its shoulders, Disney scheduled a Broadway run.
"It was a complete surprise," says Feldman, who knows something about show biz and serendipity. One of his biggest songwriting hits, Barry Manilow's "Copacabana," was written (with Manilow and Bruce Sussman) "almost as a lark," he recalls. But radio stations started playing it, making it a hit single "by popular demand."
In the case of "Newsies," Disney originally slated a limited run. Just 101 performances, which "positions us so much better to do well with licensing," Disney Theatricals' Thomas Schumacher told Variety.
Again -- cue the fans. After a few previews, with the Nederlander filled with screaming teens and tweens, Disney announced an extension to Aug. 19. Given current ticket sales, more extensions are likely.
They've been playing the "cautious card," says Jordan. "You really don't know what to expect in theater -- you can love something with all your heart . . . but that doesn't necessarily translate into monetary dividends."
Jordan knows -- he recently traded in his Clyde Barrow fedora for a newsboy cap after Broadway's "Bonnie & Clyde" closed a month after opening.
Getting an artistic do-over
For Jordan and other cast members, "Newsies" is a cherished memory. Many cite the film as the thing that motivated them to become performers.
For Feldman, the Broadway run is a chance to make long dreamed-of changes.
The music for the film was written quickly and prerecorded, so he couldn't do rewrites. "The do-over is one of the great joys in this," he explains.
Taking a crack at the dance numbers is choreographer Christopher Gattelli, who was not involved in the film. "I definitely was nervous -- every boy in our show knows all the original moves," Gattelli says, laughing.
His goal: to preserve the film's athleticism, but keep it more period, like Michael Kidd's acclaimed choreography for the 1954 film "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers."
"The newsies are scrappy but they have pride in their work," he says. "When they dance it has to be with integrity." Athletic, yes. But graceful.
Why kids, many now in their 20s and 30s, latched onto the film is still something of a mystery.
"Dance is part of it," says Feldman.
"It was guys dancing in a way that kids could see themselves dancing without being laughed at," he says.
Rousing, anthem-like songs suited to glee clubs and graduation ceremonies also helped. As did the take-charge theme.
"As a kid, you're always told what not to do," Jordan suggests. He recalls liking the idea of kids standing up for themselves. "And it was about boys," he adds. "No princesses."
Whether "Newsies" could have -- should have -- come to Broadway sooner is impossible to say, though its arrival now seems particularly advantageous.
"It's a time of great discontent," says Feldman. "The recession, the rich versus poor -- I think on some level that does resonate."
Still, the lengthy journey has been worth it, he says. "Twelve Broadway debuts in this show," he notes (omitting his own). "To watch . . . I start to break up just thinking about it. To watch their faces when they have to hold for sustained ap- plause. I lose it -- I just lose it.
"They're getting spoiled," he admits. "But for right now, it's such joy. That's a gift for them. Really a gift."
Feldman pauses, chuckling again. "It doesn't make me feel so bad either."
Who got edited out of 'Newsies'?
BY JOSEPH V. AMODIO, Special to Newsday
Fans of the 1992 film "Newsies" cherish various characters. Alas, not all could make it to the stage.
1. DENTON -- A reporter who befriends the newsies (played with panache by Bill Pullman).
2. SARAH -- Ele Keats played Jack's love interest, sister of a newsie, and pretty bland by all accounts. Harvey Fierstein combined Denton and Sarah to create Katherine, a feisty reporter Jack falls for (played by Kara Lindsay in her Broadway debut).
3. PATRICK'S MOTHER -- Yes, the pleading woman with the pipes of Patti LuPone, who appears out of nowhere for a brief (and inexplicably belty) moment in "Carrying the Banner," searching for her son, is gone. Feldman has heard many complaints. But "Mother" fans, take heart -- Andrew Keenan-Bolger, who plays Crutchie, is also a talented director (check out his online series "Submissions Only") and shot a "Patrick's Mother" moment with cast members last fall. (Search "Patrick's Mother" on YouTube to get your fix.) | <urn:uuid:3cb0843c-bc7a-408a-876e-17f38eb96d93> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/theater/extra-extra-special-newsies-on-stage-1.3618185 | 2015-01-26T20:48:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422122191023.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124175631-00039-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.972174 | 1,452 | [

In the world of Science Fiction, most readers of novels, viewers of television and movies will always remember a strong ending to a story. The “Twilight Zone” was famous for the twist sucker punch finale of most of the episodes. In the popular culture, when an image or a quote becomes a meme understood by all, it is clear that the work has tapped into something important to the times, politics or people. Charlton Heston is the star of many a movie meme. Moses standing at the Red Sea parting the waves, Ben Hur, either chained to the oars of the Roman Battle cruiser or with rein in hand on a Chariot. His most famous image however is as a dismayed misanthrope pounding sand on a beach in front of the ruins of one of the most recognizable symbols in the world at the end of “Planet of the Apes”. Heston has at least one other great moment of Science Fiction history in his vita, the denouncement at the end of the movie “Soylent Green”. It is another moment parodied and understood by masses of people, most of whom have never seen the movie. I don’t want his refrain to be the only thing people know about the film so this week “Soylent Green” is the movie I want everyone to see.
“Soylent Green” is one of those great 1970s Science Fiction movies that is more about ideas than about special effects. Before the juggernaut that is “Star Wars” came along, most Science Fiction lived in the imagination more than the vision of a story. There were occasional exceptions like “Forbidden Planet” and “2001”, but for each of those visually rich movies, there were a dozen other films that made do with small budgets, limited effects and big ideas. Films like “Seconds”, “A Boy and His Dog”, “Damnation Alley” or “The Omega Man” drew in audience mostly with interesting concepts. Sometimes like with “Planet of the Apes” there was spectacular art direction and set design, but even in that film the visual factor relies on our willingness to accept the story in order to then accept the vision. Most of these films are cautionary tales that try to speak to the worries of the times in which they were made, and “Soylent Green” was one of the finest examples of playing on those contemporary fears.
Stanford Biologist Paul Ehrlich published a book called “The Population Bomb” that predicted a coming world of Malthusian Nightmares. It spawned a whole industry of doomsayers and environmental prophets who suggested that the Earth was over populated and over polluted. The theme of “Soylent Green” is derived from this stream of fearful environmentalism of the early 1970s. This dystopian world is not threatened by nuclear annihilation but starvation and overcrowding. Of course there has also been a substantial amount of global warming to screw up the planet’s food supplies as well. Most of this is brilliantly summarized by the title sequence which uses a combination of photos, pacing and music to show us what has happened and is coming.
It was simple and to the point. It was also forty years ago, so perhaps it is a little premature to send us all to a living hell but once the premise is set up the story follows it quite well. William Simonson, a director of the Soylent Corporation is murdered and although there are hundreds of murders a day in the overcrowded world, one detective is unwilling to accept that it is a random burglary. Simonson lives in a luxurious apartment that comes equipped with special security, a bodyguard and living furniture that he can enjoy to his hearts content. It just seems too convenient that the bodyguard was out shopping for groceries with the furniture at the moment this important man was killed in his building. A building where the security system is on the fritz when the apartment is broken into.
Heston plays the determined cop who engages in the kind of casual corruption that seems to be as prevalent in the future as it was in the 1970s with Al Pacino’s “Serpico”. Detective Thorn is not a bad guy, but he appears to be a vulture at the scene of the crime, scooping up whatever luxury item is likely to go unmissed. Everybody gets a little taste, from his boss to the grunts that remove the body. Thorn takes some vegetables and meat which are incredibly rare commodities in the future. Most people have to survive on manufactured nutrition wafers of different composition, including the recently introduced “Soylent Green”. He also acquires a couple of rare technical books that he will not be able to make sense out of but which ought to please his partner Sol Roth, an elderly man who serves as the equivalent of Wikipedia for the future police force.
Most of you know an old timer or two who provides a link to the past. They share stories of the good old days and relate how the world was a better place in their youth (much like your current narrator). For the most part we can dismiss those stories as the nostalgia of an older generation (you know, they walked five miles up hill to school in the snow and then five miles uphill home at the end of the day). This movie posits that the memories of the older generation are not rambling condemnations of change but accurate histories of things that have in fact been lost. The collective of older “books” is known as the Exchange and Sol takes the information from the two Oceanographic Reports that Thorn brought him to the Exchange for evaluation.
The film is a police procedural about a conspiratorial secret which the powers that be are determined to keep a secret. Most of this was pretty standard stuff, but several aspects of the setting make the story so much more compelling. The way in which the citizens have to live, on rationed water, limited food supplies, sleeping on staircases shows how the environment has decayed. The world of the dead man stands in stark contrast to the rest of the population. A rich man with a sex partner who comes with the apartment and access to items that are incredibly out of reach to the rest of the population may seem an unsympathetic victim. We have seen however that there was a sense of guilt in his death, we are aware that there is a conspiracy and we watch Thorn as he picks at each link and follows his instincts to arrive at the truth. In the process the future world is revealed to us bit by bit.
The term “bromance” has cropped up in the last few years to describe stories that are about the friendship between two men. Buddy pictures have been around since the days of silent film, and up through the point this was released so was Edward G. Robinson. The partnership between Sol and Thorn is the real relationship in the movie. Heston’s character does get involved with the “furniture” of the dead man, but all of the really emotional moments of the film involve him and the old man. From some of the earliest of sound films, Robinson played gangsters, doctors and bureaucrats. He was the definitive gangster for the first decade of sound movies as “Little Cesar”. “Soylent Green” gave him the opportunity to go out on a high note. This was his last film and he played it for all that was on the page. The scene where Sol prepares the purloined food for a meal for Heston is a good example. Sol, enjoys it with relish and equally enjoys watching Thorn, who has never had anything like this enjoy as well. Robinson waves his plastic utensils as if they were a baton and he was conducting an orchestra. The crescendo of the piece is the belch Heston gives at the end of the most satisfying meal of his life. Apparently this scene was not in the script and was improvised by the two actors with the prompting of the director. It was a special touch to show their relationship and the world of the time. At one point Heston’s boss suggests he might need a new “book” but the detective demurs and continues to have faith in his room mate/partner/father figure.
The other great sequence featuring Robinson, and one that is sadly ironic, is Sol’s decision to end his own story. When advocates of euthanasia speak of giving patients back their dignity and providing comfort at the end, they must surely envision a scene like the one that takes place at the end of the second act. Older people desiring to die, troop into a modernistic building, fill out a form and then have some final comforts attended to. Robinson was dying of cancer when the movie was made and he was almost completely deaf. We would all hope that his passing would be as beautiful as was depicted here in the processing center referred to as “home” by those seeking an end to their time on Earth. Thorn gets the final proof for the motive of the executive’s murder by following his friend through his passage home. As you watch what is really a simple sequence of wonderful pastoral scenes and listen to the comforting and thrilling classical score, you realize how devastating the loss of the world as it was would be to those able to remember it.
The themes and characters have been shared with you a bit, now let’s talk about the production. In today’s world, this would be a movie crammed with futuristic CGI vistas and sets that were created in a computer. The costumes and equipment would be imagined in fantastic ways to make us feel as if we were in the future. The science fiction films of the seventies were often done on modest budgets and almost always had to make due with creative use of location and existing props. A luxury apartment of the future comes equipped with the latest video game (here it is an early version of Pong). Food riots need to be staged on a New York City back lot, but to make it more futuristic, garbage trucks are modified to remove people rather than trash. The euthanasia center is the googie architectural structure of the L.A. Sports arena and it’s futuristic clean style lobby. The focus stays on the ideas rather than the “wow” factor of the look. Even the two books that Thorn confiscates, they are not digital readouts on an i-pad style device, they are simply over-sized volumes given slick covers to convey an advanced type of publishing, nothing fancy but slightly noticeable.
The horrible secret of “Soylent Green” has probably been used as a punchline by thousands of people who never even saw the movie. The fact that the last line has reached into and grabbed the public consciousness is evidence of the effectiveness of the idea behind the film. We are on an environmental brink that may change the relationship of human beings to one another in catastrophic ways. The immorality of a choice might be mitigated by the exigencies of the moment. The movie is an action based detective conspiracy story, but the thought it contains is provocative and the story highlights that issue rather than pushing it aside for action. Just five years after he stands in for the sucker punched audience in front of the Statue of Liberty, Heston finishes another iconic Science fiction thought with his dire warning and outstretched hand. Another entertaining science fiction movie is capped off with a thought that is frightening and thought provoking.

I missed this the first time around, but NPR's always excellent This American Life program recently devoted an episode to fair housing issues. Here's a summary of the main piece:
Reporter Nancy Updike talks to a group of New York City residents about their frustrating attempts to rent an apartment. With hidden microphones, we hear landlords and supers tell the apartment hunters that there's nothing available. But that's not necessarily true. Forty-five years after the passage of the Fair Housing Act in 1968, ProPublica reporter Nikole Hannah-Jones talks to Nancy about the history of racial housing discrimination in the United States and what has been done — and hasn't been done — to rectify it. | <urn:uuid:80b5a750-37d5-4686-ac4c-3d225c42bb90> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/property/2014/05/this-american-life-does-fair-housing.html | 2015-01-25T10:40:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422115863825.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124161103-00219-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.936117 | 148 | [

VBS: Vacation Bible School
Each summer, Redeemer hosts a week long event for the community’s children.
The typical week’s event starts on Monday morning at 9 AM. Each day the children start in the Sanctuary to fellowship, worship God, and learn more about Jesus. The children are then divided up into smaller groups for the bulk of the morning, doing crafts, learning about missions, exercising, and learning more about God. The morning concludes with a rally in the Sanctuary. Children are dismissed at Noon.
Each year, the success of VBS hinges on a large group of volunteers. If you are interested in helping in any way, please contact Carmen Creecy.
This year our Scottish Sleuths case presents a study of twelve of Jesus’ “Kingdom” parables. Each daily grouping of parables is arranged in such a way to teach the children a particular aspect of the Kingdom of God. They will learn how God’s Kingdom rules and operates in this world, and what the response of Kingdom -dwellers should be.
2015 dates are scheduled to be June 8 to 12. | <urn:uuid:d73f8bd3-31ea-4d8b-b392-59be6b6aad88> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://redeemer-pca.org/ministries/childrens-ministry/vbs/ | 2015-01-25T10:13:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422115863825.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124161103-00219-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.927998 | 236 | [

Washington State rallied from a three touchdown deficit to beat Utah 28-27 on Saturday night largely because the Utes showcased many of the same problems that have plagued them since entering the Pac-12. The offense could not make plays in crunch time and the defense could not get enough stops when the game was on the line.
Underdog Washington State almost beat No. 2 Oregon on Saturday, but Cougars quarterback Connor Halliday was not impressed
Hard work is what the Cougars can expect when they host Oregon and Heisman contender Marcus Mariota on Saturday night in Pullman. The Ducks (3-0) have beaten their first three opponents by a combined score of 156-54, including a Michigan State team that came into its game with Oregon boasting a fearsome defense. Washington State, meanwhile, staggers into its Pac-12 opener at 1-2.
Connor Halliday, the nation’s leading passer, threw for 544 yards and six touchdowns as Washington State beat Portland State 59-21.
Nevada (2-0) intercepted Connor Halliday twice and held the Cougars (0-2) to one touchdown Friday night as the Wolf Pack came away with a 24-13 victory for just their third win against a Pac-12 team in the last 10 years.
Washington State’s defense gave up a long touchdown pass on Rutger’s first play from scrimmage last week, and coaches have decided to shake up the inexperienced secondary. Defensive backs Tracy Clark and Teondray Caldwell are no longer in the starting lineup. Charleston White and Darius Lemora will start instead.
The Cougars lost a wild 41-38 contest to Rutgers, a game that seemed to be in Washington State’s grasp until the Scarlet Knights recovered a fumbled punt return and put together the game-winning drive in the final minutes.
The football coaches at the University of Washington and Washington State University were the best paid state employees in 2013.
Connor Halliday threw for 488 yards and four touchdowns as Washington State beat Utah 49-37 on Saturday to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2006.
This year’s senior class is enjoying a season in which the Cougars (5-5, 3-4 Pac-12) are one victory away from qualifying for a bowl game. They host Utah (4-6, 1-6), on Saturday in Pullman. | <urn:uuid:b88d5288-7e49-4bb4-bbb8-49d94376330c> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://seattle.cbslocal.com/tag/mike-leach/page/2/ | 2015-01-25T10:20:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422115863825.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124161103-00219-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.952999 | 487 | [

Season Series: Second of six meetings this season between these Central Division rivals. The Blue Jackets will be looking to repay the Blackhawks for ruining their opener at Nationwide Arena on Oct. 15 -- Patrick Sharp scored twice and had a career-high 13 shots in Chicago's 5-2 win.
Big Story: It's the second night of a back-to-back situation for both teams, one of which will come out of the game with consecutive losses. Columbus hits the road after falling at home to Calgary, while Chicago returns to the United Center after getting doubled up in St. Louis.
Blue Jackets: Home has not been the happiest place for Columbus, which just hit the middle of a five-game stretch where the other four contests are all in Ohio. The Blue Jackets have turned in uninspired performances in two of their first three games at Nationwide, including Friday's 6-2 loss to the Flames, who entered as the NHL's worst offensive team. They blitzed Steve Mason and his teammates, however, with Rene Bourque recording the hat trick.
"It shouldn't happen," captain Rick Nash said. "We are at home in front of our home fans. We are just disappointed in the effort we put in tonight."
Added coach Scott Arniel: "We're getting an awful lot of mileage out of our grit players and we need more from some of our top people."
Blackhawks: A four-game winning streak for Chicago came to an end Friday despite Sharp's seventh goal of the season, which tied him for the team lead with Marian Hossa, one behind the League leader, Tampa Bay's Steven Stamkos. The Blackhawks never led against the Blues, but they did battle back to wipe out a pair of one-goal deficits as Sharp and Brent Seabrook lit the lamp.
"We've got to play Chicago Blackhawk hockey from the start and when we don't do that, that's when we give up the lead right away," forward Jack Skille said. "We were playing from behind so we were still pretty positive in here. Nobody got down."
Who's Hot:Derek Dorsett, who scored 4 goals in each of his first two seasons with the Blue Jackets, has 2 goals in his last three games. Derek MacKenzie has 2 goals and 1 assist during a three-game points streak. … Sharp has 6 goals in the Blackhawks' last five games.
Injury Report: Columbus defenseman Kris Russell missed Friday's game with a lower-body injury. Defenseman Mike Commodore (hand) and forwards Andrew Murray (knee), Jared Boll (back) and Ethan Moreau (hand) are all on injured reserve. … Chicago defenseman Brian Campbell is on injured reserve with a sprained knee.
Stat Pack: It would seem the Blue Jackets need to shoot more -- they're next-to-last in the League in shots per game (26.3) and when certain players do put the puck on net, it tends to go in. R.J. Umberger (3 goals on 9 shots), Dorsett (2 goals on 6 shots) and MacKenzie (2 goals on 6 shots) all have shooting percentages of 33.3 while Kristian Huselius (3 goals on 13 shots) is at 23.1 percent. … Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews has been held to 2 assists over the last five games and is stuck on 1 goal for the season.
Puck Drop: Columbus has dealt with its fair share of injuries in the early-going, with Moreau's loss particularly damaging. An offseason addition, he scored the overtime goal in Stockholm to give the team a split of its season-opening series with San Jose but is now out 4-6 weeks following surgery to reset at least two broken bones in his right hand.
"It's definitely a big blow," Umberger told the Columbus Dispatch. "He was really coming into his own here, really contributing to our line and in the room. Unfortunately, this is what happens in hockey. You lose guys." | <urn:uuid:9e652239-7115-4c05-8f36-d1f5be9f368b> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/en/preview?id=2010020107 | 2015-01-25T10:51:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422115863825.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124161103-00219-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975324 | 829 | [

Tri-City Medical Center to Celebrate San Diego's Newest Cardiovascular Catheterization Laboratory
Oceanside, CA- On October 21, Tri-City Medical Center (TCMC) will celebrate the grand opening of the newest addition to the Oceanside medical center, a fully integrated, digital Cardiovascular Catheterization Laboratory (Cath Lab), used to prevent and treat potentially fatal cardiac conditions, like heart attacks.
The new Cath Lab will allow for improved imaging, faster physician access to records, availability of records from multiple locations and enhanced diagnostic capabilities through new technology, such as Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS). IVUS allows the cardiologist to see inside blood vessels to determine the amount of plaque build-up in the coronary artery. As a San Diego County Designated STEMI (Heart Attack) Receiving Center, Tri-City Medical Center's Cardiovascular Catheterization Lab and treatment team are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"This new technology will further the scope of treatment options available to our patients and enhance our STEMI (heart attack) Receiving Center," said David Spiegel, MD, Medical Director of TCMC's Cardiac Catheterization Labs.
As a comprehensive provider of cardiac care, Tri-City Medical Center's Cardiovascular Services include interventional and diagnostic cardiology, cardio thoracic surgery, a nationally accredited cardiac rehabilitation program, stress testing/echocardiography, electrophysiology/arrhythmia testing and treatment, cardiac CT angiography and nuclear cardiology. TCMC's cardiovascular program is dedicated to research, education, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation.
"It is truly our privilege to offer our community the highest level of cardiac services coupled with the latest technology and clinical care, right here in North County," said Donald Dawkins, Cardiovascular Service Line Administrator at TCMC.

Crime reporter believed probing boss's death killed in Mexico
07/26/2011 4:53 PM
09/08/2014 5:50 PM
MEXICO CITY — A Mexican crime reporter said to have been looking into the recent execution slaying of her editor was found dead Tuesday.
The body of Yolanda Ordaz de la Cruz was dumped on a street in the city of Veracruz on Mexico's eastern coast, two days after she was kidnapped by unknown assailants, according to the newspaper, Notiver. Several other news sites, citing an anonymous police source, said she had been beheaded.
Her killing seemed to consolidate Mexico's status as the most dangerous place in the Americas to work as a journalist, although a swirl of contradictory information surrounded the death.
Ordaz de la Cruz worked as a police reporter at Notiver, the largest-circulation newspaper in Veracruz, a bustling port on the Gulf of Mexico where violence has surged between powerful crime gangs battling over narcotics trafficking, extortion and migrant smuggling.
The newspaper was still shaken by the events of June 20, when gunmen smashed down the door to the home of deputy editor Miguel Angel Lopez Velasco and killed him, his wife and his son. Lopez Velasco wrote a column in Notiver that often touched on Mexico's criminal underworld.
Mexico's main newsmagazine, Proceso, reported on its website that colleagues of Ordaz de la Cruz said that she was looking into motives in the slaying of her editor at the time of her own death and that she'd received anonymous telephoned threats.
But the top prosecutor in the state of Veracruz, Reynaldo Escobar Perez, said in a news conference that while Ordaz de la Cruz may have fallen into the crosshairs of organized crime, her slaying was not related to her profession. He did not expand on the statement and refused to take questions.
An operator at the newspaper offices said no one was available to provide further information.
The local e-consulta.com website said a message was left next to Ordaz de la Cruz's body that said, "Friends also betray, sincerely Carranza."
The message appeared to link her killing to the earlier slaying of her editor.
Three days after her editor's killing, authorities announced that the culprit was Juan Carlos Carranza, alias "El Naca," who they described as a 33-year-old criminal wanted for robbery and murder. They offered a $260,000 reward for his capture, but Carranza has yet to be taken into custody.
The bodies of five journalists have been found in June and July in Mexico. In addition to the two slain from Notiver, they include a journalist from a small Veracruz town, another from the state of Sonora in northern Mexico and one from Guerrero state on Mexico's Pacific coast.
Mexico's National Human Rights Commission says 68 journalists were slain between the year 2000 and March of this year, although press freedom groups note that some of the killings may not be related to their profession.
The Sonoran journalist, Pablo Ruelas Barraza, who was shot six times June 13, was reported to have served prison time for small-scale drug trafficking.

White Tie extends your Visual Studio projects to make NuGet packaging, compiling documentation and deploying your open source software much easier.
** Configuration Note:
- No configuration necessary.**
- By default, White Tie only executes when building in Release mode.
- Provides many MSBuild properties and items, enabling complete customization if desired.
- Controls whether common static analysis tools are executed.
- Builds documentation for your project if
Sandcastle is installed.
- Builds a NuGet package for your project (NOTE: In Visual Studio 2013,
NuGet Package Restore must be enabled on your solution.)
- Code Contract assemblies, referenced assemblies, symbols, documentation files and NuGet dependency packages are included in the NuGet Package automatically.
- Additional target framework flavors can be included by adding
NuGetFlavor items to your project.
- Copies build output, including any Content project items, to a local deployment directory under the solution. (Note that your project's output folder is unaffected. Output files will also appear in your project's
bin folder as normal.)
- Uses a consistent solution folder structure for various build dependencies and artifacts.
White Tie generates a .nuspec
file with some of the default values derived from attributes in the output assembly. NuGet may generate an error when required values are missing. To avoid these errors, you must either:
The first choice is the simplest. In general, you only have to enter non-empty strings for
to resolve any errors; however, you should review all of the attributes anyway to ensure that you get the desired output; e.g.,

It might be summer, but Bridgestone Americas is preparing light trucks and SUVs for winter with two new additions to its Blizzak line. The company said both the Blizzak DM-V1 and LM-60 are dedicated winter tires.
The DM-V1 is available in 46 R-speed-rated sizes ranging from 15-22 in. and 75-45 series. It boasts Bridgestone’s Nano-Pro-Tech rubber compound and Multicell technology to disperse surface water and improve grip, the company said. A directional tread pattern and 3-D sipes enhance dry performance and continuous lug design while center multi-Z tread grooves increase traction in the snow and ice.
The LM-60 uses continuous lugs and zigzag sipes for improved traction and includes circumferential grooves that channel water out of the tire’s footprint to resist hydroplaning. A directional tread pattern and 3-D sipes improve the dry performance. It is available in 34 H-speed-rated sizes from 17-20 in. in the 60-35 series. | <urn:uuid:a195ff49-0cb1-4377-98a5-155537011d3c> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://fleetowner.com/equipment/news/bridgestone-winter-tires-trucks-0722 | 2016-05-27T00:45:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464049276415.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524002116-00065-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.928093 | 224 | [

Re: can't pump at work - will I loose my milk?
As Mod, I have to jump in here and say that pumping while driving isn't the safest thing you can do. Pumping while sitting in a chair in an office somewhere is infinitely safer.
I will also say that it's possible to hook up the pump parts while you're sitting in a parked car, turn on the pump, drive, then when you're done pumping, turn off the pump, but leave everything attached to you. Only remove the flanges when the car is parked again. Don't attempt to remove the flanges and keep yourself covered and not spill the milk while driving through rush-hour traffic!

I used to live in fear of being struck by lightning when I found myself miles from home with two panic stricken Dalmatians in the middle of a sudden thunderstorm. This doesn't happen anymore. I carefully plot wind direction and speed using the radar apps and take the dogs outside during lulls between the passing squalls. I tell Dot and Dash that we don't have much time. They know they only have eight minutes to pee, poop and finish their business before we have to be home again. So far this new plan works fabulously. The dogs storm instincts are much better than mine anyway. They only panic if they think I don't know what's coming and am leading them into danger. Today, although everything got soaked; we didn't.
There's not much to do on a rainy day. Since I don't like to drive in the rain, I'm usually just stuck inside with the dogs, waiting for things to clear up. Luckily, I had plenty of writing and website work to keep me busy today. One of the charities I work with has a new volunteer who is full of energy and new ideas. This is great for the charity, but I'm not sure how great it will be for me. My workload has already increased. Things were easier when my contacts were just as tired and overworked as I am. I seldom get behind if I'm working with someone who is in even worse shape than I am.
I'm having lunch tomorrow with a friend who had a heart attack recently. Hopefully, he can give me some tips that can help me avoid the same fate. When friends and I used to have lunch, the talk usually centered around fast cars, music, and weird things our clients did. Now the conversation always seems to be about who has had the scariest near death experience. Talking about health problems has its benefits though. I usually think I'm falling apart until I listen to other people's trials and tribulations. Then I realize that things aren't so bad after all.
The weather radar on my phone says that the storms are almost over. That's good! Maybe I'll get a decent amount of sleep tonight.

OHIO STATE head football coach Urban Meyer is continuing with what has been called his "high-tech spread offense," and three players with links to Eastern Ohio appear to be comfortable with his method of coaching.
Former Steubenville Big Red Najee Murray in his first year as a Buckeye said, "It's great (being an Ohio State player). I'm having a nice time, being coached by a great coach and with great players."
Murray, when interviewed during the recent OSU Media Day, also admitted that it's taking a lot of hard work to accomplish the goals that have been set.
The Steubenville High School graduate, now a freshman defensive back, was the leader of the secondary for three Big Red teams, including the 12-2 2009 state semifinalist squad and the 11-1 team in 2011, which advanced to the regional semifinals.
Sophomore wide receiver Evan Spencer, whose father Tim is a former St. Clairsville resident and running backs coach for the Chicago Bears, was asked about some of Meyer's criticisms, and he replied, "I think he was trying to get us to step up and to meet the challenge. I'm glad that he expects a lot from us, and I'm glad to see as a unit, we're taking the challenge on."
Spencer said during the spring, he was trying to translate what he saw on film, and now that the team is in camp, it's more comfortable.
A graduate of Vernon Hills High School in Illinois, Spencer who is 6-2 and weighs 205 pounds, suffered a knee injury a week ago Friday.
Apparently, the old saying, "You can't keep a good man down," is true because after the weekend, he planned to return to practice at camp.
According to the OSU website, he had a fine spring practice but a shoulder injury halted his efforts during the last two weeks of drills.
Spencer's first catch last year as a freshman in the OSU-Akron game is memorable. He made a one-handed grab of a Braxton Miller pass for a 33-yard gain in the first game of the season, and that right-handed grab inside the 5-yard line was considered for a national play of the week.
The former Illinois player has high praise for Miller, noting that the quarterback is "so athletic, he can fit in almost any offense ... This offense (at Ohio State) is perfect for him."
It's not surprising that Spencer knows what he is supposed to do on the football field. After all, his father is the third-leading rusher in Ohio State history with 3,553 yards between 1979-81 and also scored 36 touchdowns, fourth-most in OSU history.
Tim was a member of the Buckeye coaching staff between 1994 and 2003.
"I expect to go out and make plays. That's my job description," said the sophomore wide receiver.
His father was at the Bears' training camp, but his mother, Gilda, and older brother were at Ohio State for the family festivities related to Media Day.
Nick Vannett, a 6-6 tight end who mentioned Meyer's high-tech spread offense, earned All-Ohio recognition while playing for Westerville Central High School football coach John Magistro, the former highly successful Bellaire High coach.
Vannett, who was red-shirted last season as a true freshman, said, "You can't take any team too lightly. You never know who's going to come out and play hard,"
Miller wasn't at Media Day, but his prowess as a quarterback was noted by his teammates and the coach.
Meyer described Miller, a sophomore, and redshirt junior quarterback Kenny Guiton as "caged tigers."
Among his challenges for the two quarterbacks are to throw the football a little bit, and they have improved since their actions in the spring. He also said they are kind of doing what they need to do.
Meyer went on to say the cage will be opened Sept. 1 when the Buckeyes face the Miami RedHawks at the Horseshoe.
The coach emphasized the importance of the 28 practices held during camp before the season opens.
This "will make or break us," he said, explaining those days are about development, and the players won't be getting that much better in the fall.
A spot check of the players at Media Day revealed that many of them consider Wisconsin - and definitely Michigan - to be the toughest opponents during the coming season.
Still, they don't appear to be downplaying any opponent.
Joel Hale, a sophomore defensive tackle who played in nine games, including the Gator Bowl, as a freshman, pointed out all teams in the Big Ten have unbelievably good running games as well as good quarterbacks.
Freshman wide receiver Frank Epitropoulos is the third member of his family to play for Buckeyes. His father, John, was a three-year letterman between 1978 and 1980, and his uncle,
Ernie, also was a team member. As a result, it's not unusual for him to comment, "The game we're all looking forward to is Michigan. ... Other than that, we're taking it one week at a time and focusing on the next opponent."

Sunday was the fifth anniversary of an EF-5 tornado that tore through Joplin, killing 161 people and damaging a third of the city. More than 1,000 others were also injured.
The one-mile wide tornado hit central Joplin, destroying 531 businesses and about 7,500 homes, apartments and duplexes. The destruction displaced nearly 20,000 people.
Five years later, most of those businesses destroyed have been rebuilt and 300 new ones have opened.
Pastor Aaron Brown of St. Paul’s United Methodist Church spoke at an event Sunday to reflect on that day and on how Joplin has rebuilt.
“This anniversary is a time to recognize for a lot of us that even though things will never be the same, they can still be good,” said Brown.
More than 180,000 volunteers helped Joplin after the tornado by working 1.5 million volunteer hours.
Americorps state and national director Bill Basl says the community’s resilience inspired thousands of volunteers to help with rebuilding efforts.
“They stuck with it and they didn’t give up. People from around the country and, in fact, some around the world came here to help Joplin rise up,” said Basl. “I know that those who served here will remember it forever. That’s because of the hospitality of people here in Joplin.”
Governor Jay Nixon (D) and Congressman Billy Long (R) also attended Sunday’s event and praised the community for its commitment to rebuild Joplin.

Sarah Weinman: My Favorite Crime Novels of 2010, and Other Books I Loved

I had a very rare opportunity for a nano fondle of an Archos 101 Internet Tablet this morning. This device is hard to get and the fondle came up when a sales rep opened a box prepping it to be a demo model.
It’s incredibly thin and lighter than I expected. The feel of it is halfway between swank and cheap. On the whole, however, it looks good.

“The ideal life for a boy is not in the city. He should know of animals, rivers, plants, and that great out-of-door life that lays for him the foundation of his later years.” —G. Stanley.
[Illustration: Camp Becket]
CHAPTER III—LOCATION AND SANITATION
Dirty dirt vs. Clean dirt
selecting A site
laying out the camp ground
an Indian method
individual drinking cupboard of health
Clean camps are most easily kept by not allowing them to become dirty.
“Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Godliness means a right relation to things spiritual, cleanliness a right relation to things material. An old definition says that ‘Dirt is merely misplaced matter.’ Of all the vehicles of disease, the most important perhaps is dirt. The word dirt in its strict sense comes from the Anglo-Saxon ‘drit,’ or excrement. ‘Dirt,’ then, is not earth or clean sand—not clean dirt, but dirty dirt, that is, matter soiled by some of the excreta of the human or animal body. Cleanliness must be insisted upon in a boys’ Camp—not the cleanliness that makes a boy squeamish about working with his hands upon some necessary job, but cleanliness that makes him afraid of sharing his tooth brush or table utensils or his clothes.
Cleanliness is not the shunning of good, clean dirt, but a recognition of the fact that to pass anything from one mouth to another is a possible source of death and destruction.” “Death to dirt” should be the watchword of the camp. The camp should be a model of cleanliness. Every boy should be taught the value of good sanitation and encouraged to cooperate in making proper sanitation effective.
[Footnote 1: Dr. Chas. E. A. Winslow—“Camp Conference,” p. 58.]
The location chosen for a camp should be away from swamps. Avoid swampy and low places as you would a plague. Damp places where there are mosquitoes, should be well drained, and open to an abundance of sunshine. Mosquitoes breed only in water, but a very little water is sufficient if it is dirty and stagnant. Two inches of water standing in an old tin can will breed an innumerable horde. These “diminutive musicians” are not only a nuisance, but dangerous, as malaria and typhoid spreaders by their poisonous stings. | <urn:uuid:5fd5a49f-c54f-4432-9622-c9cc987fb100> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://www.bookrags.com/ebooks/14759/10.html | 2016-05-24T16:50:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464049272349.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524002112-00170-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.940718 | 532 | [

Australian teenager Storm Sanders has easily beaten China's Shuai Peng, ranked nearly 200 places ahead of her, at the Hobart International.
Wildcard Sanders won through to the second round in her WTA main draw debut by breezing past Peng 6-2 6-2.
The 19-year-old is ranked No.234 in the world, 195 places behind world No.39 Peng.
The Queenslander was only given her wildcard entry when rising star and good friend Ashleigh Barty withdrew with injury.
Sanders will play Wimbledon semi-finalist Kirsten Flipkens, the second seed, in the next round. | <urn:uuid:d36f810d-e4e7-4f99-93bb-f033a0ca6c3d> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://www.theage.com.au/breaking-news-sport/aussie-teen-sanders-big-hobart-tennis-win-20140107-30eup.html | 2016-05-24T17:28:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464049272349.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524002112-00170-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.907764 | 130 | [

(CNN) - U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg, a New Jersey Democrat, has been diagnosed with stomach cancer, his office said in a statement Friday.
Lautenberg, 86, is not up for re-election until 2014.
"After several days of hospitalization and testing, Sen. Lautenberg's doctors have diagnosed that he has a B-cell lymphoma of the stomach," the statement said. "This is a curable tumor, and will require treatment over the next few months."
Dr. James Holland of New York City's Mount Sinai Medical Center, who is treating Lautenberg, said that he expects "a full and complete recovery" from the cancer.
Lautenberg, Holland said, will receive chemotherapy treatments administered roughly every three weeks.
"We anticipate that he will receive between six and eight treatments, and in between treatments, the senator is expected to be back at work in the Senate," he said.
Lautenberg, a New Jersey political veteran, was first elected to the Senate in 1982. He retired in 2000, but ran again in 2002 after Sen. Bob Torricelli, who was tainted by scandal, suddenly withdrew from a re-election bid. | <urn:uuid:f1e64f8e-f87b-4ae8-8350-deda825e739b> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/02/19/lautenberg-diagnosed-with-stomach-cancer/comment-page-1/ | 2016-05-27T08:30:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464049276564.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524002116-00085-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.980833 | 250 | [

WILLIAMSTOWN -- Irish Victorian playwright and wit Oscar Wilde is rightfully credited as the playwright for "The Importance of Being Earnest" in the Williamstown Theatre Festival program and all its publicity materials but it's American writer and wit Damon Runyon who has the first and final say on the Festival's Main Stage, and not in any good or satisfying way.
Runyon, who is best known for the stories that are the basis for that grand musical, "Guys and Dolls," was an American writer and journalist who colorfully chronicled the comings and goings of New York Prohibition-era gangsters, mobsters, gamblers and touts -- a far cry from the mannered upper class Victorian England cucumber- and bread-and-butter sandwiches-munching crowd that provided Wilde with his rich material.
Intrigued by the notion that Runyon's words would sit well on the tongues of Wilde's engaging characters, Pierce has tested his theory in a production of Wilde's popular "The Importance of Being Earnest," as near perfect a comedy as you can get, that moves Wilde's play from 1895 London and its surrounding countryside to 1932 London and its surrounding countryside and converts Wilde's characters into Runyonesque American mobsters and molls
Within this construct, Wilde's Jack Worthing (Glenn Fitzgerald) and his pal, Algernon Moncrieff (Louis Cancelmi), a name that name, in this milieu, surely would be a source of embarrassment, are the new generation in this crime family.
Totally lost in this flying bullets dese-dem-and-dose world is Wilde's wit; his sharp, keen observations; his inspired, masterly way with the English language. A play that should sparkle with Champagne lightness of being flows, instead, like flat, stale ale. Wilde's very best lines are buried beneath the weight of a linguistic style that never for a moment lets you forget that it is there.
It's not only Wilde's gift for language that suffers. With its cumbersome, plodding rhythm and joyless, effortful performances, Pierce's production seems less a labor of love than just plain labor. It also provides cover for poor acting, with the notable exceptions of Henry Stram's sublime Rev. Canon Chasuble and Paul Anthony McGrane's butler, Merriman, who, like Stram, reminds us of everything we are missing.
There is an inspired moment in an early scene between Algernon and Jack in which it appears that Pierce's concept will take hold as Algernon attempts a high-tone British affectation but in a linguistic style that will forever mark his lower class origins. But it's like trying to strike a match in the rain; a spark that goes out the moment it flares up.
The Festival has had extraordinary luck in its last two seasons with productions that have successfully brought fresh, imaginative approaches to familiar material -- last summer's remarkable "Ten Cents a Dance" and the 2010 season's joyously inspired "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum." This third time, this summer, however, is neither charm nor charming. | <urn:uuid:77b27b35-2085-4e6b-9f0f-c23a94bfc177> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://www.berkshireeagle.com/entertainment/ci_20977375/williamstown-theatre-festival-importance-being-earnest-tea-bullets | 2016-05-27T08:29:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464049276564.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524002116-00085-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962937 | 658 | [

For my second post in my American Express Blue Cash® Preferred and Everyday cards Blue Cash Dinner@6 $600 giveaway I’ve chosen a fish dish. After I made it, I realized it’s a bit like the Chicken with Feta and Sundried Tomatoes recipe I made last time. Not only does this fish dish contain six ingredients, it also contains the combination of tomatoes and cheese. Maybe I’ll keep with that recipe combination for my final dish, too. Who knows?
A Mexican inspired fish recipe
This Fish Veracruz (Pescado a la Veracruzana) dish is a take on a recipe my husband used to make for me when we were dating. He worked at a sports fishing landing in San Diego while he was in graduate school, so he always had access to freshly caught fish that people didn’t want or had too much of.
You can use any white, mild flavored saltwater fish – red snapper (pargo), Mahi Mahi (dorado), sole, tiliapia, and so on. I used pargo that my husband caught in Mexico. It was so mild that my daughter, Lucie, gobbled it up saying, “This is gooooood, Mommy!”
I recommend using Cotija cheese, a Mexican cheese similar to feta. If you can’t find it, you could use a mild feta instead. I also recommend using a pico de gallo. Del Monte makes a nice version, which you should be able to find at your local grocery store. If you can’t find it, you can use a spicy fresh salsa (salsa fresca) - just drain some of the extra liquid first. Another option is using a can of Muir Glen Organic’s Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies.
See below to learn how submitting your favorite dinner recipes that use 6 ingredients or less can win you $600 in American Express gift cards!

Fine Molds 1:48 scale Yokusuka D4Y2 Suisei "Judy" nightfighter
Posted 15 April 2012 - 08:42 PM
this is my latest build and I believe my third here on LSP......
About the kit;
A first glance gave me the impression that it was as good as a Hasegawa or Tamiya kit but it wasn't......it lacked detail on some parts, the wheelbays, it could use more panel lines, fit of one part of the fuselage (underside of the tail) didn't fit well and used some sanding. Instruction was in japanese with some instruction in english for painting SOME of the parts.So I had to use my imagination a lot....
The build is staight out of the box except for the Eduard seatbelts and and the electric wire for the brakelines.
Tried to make "stressed metal" by using putty on the panels, but this doesn't work on such small scale so I sanded it off.
Painted it with Tamiya IJN green and IJN grey, Tamiya lemon yellow with a pinch of red for the IFF and lines on the prop.
Tamiya red for the hinomarus, exhaust stains are Revell enamels- black, some different sand and light brown colours.
Chipping is done with a small brush, using Revell silver and different shades of green, and Tamiya interior colour.
The flash of the camera doesn't do justice to some of the "green" chips and navigation light in some pics.

WOW !! That looks very impressive and so very NICE.
I see reading your post that there were issues but even so you manage to over come them and even mastered the Japanese ..Just joking...
.....No, really, you did a marvelous job of gettng the model built SO BRILLIANTLY .It is admirable workmanship and the weathering et al is just SUPERBLY done.
It is a masterful work and I don't know what you used for the weathering techniques to make those scuff marks on the wings etc but it works PERFECTLY ..

Chocolate Bar Puzzle Is Deliciously Difficult
Meiji Milk Chocolate is to Japanese sweets addicts what the classic Hershey Bar is to their American counterparts: a traditional tasty fix for snack lovers who've got a sweet tooth that just won't quit. Now there's a faux Meiji chocolate bar puzzle that'll give your brain a workout while giving your waistline a break.
Introducing the Meiji Chocolate Bar Puzzle, officially authorized by Meiji Seika Kaisha and packaged in the confectioner's iconic gold-printed cardboard wrapper. Inside you'll find a clear plastic topped tray measuring 9.5 x 16.5cm or 3.74 x 6.49 inches that holds Tetrus-like puzzle pieces assembled in the form of a Meiji chocolate bar. Shake out the pieces, mix 'em around, and try to reassemble them - it's like a Rubik's Cube, only less geeky.
Choose from three different classic Meiji chocolate bars (white, milk and bittersweet). You can even bring out their REAL counterparts since working on puzzles can give one the munchies... just be sure to munch on the snacks, not the puzzle pieces.

Walter, I am glad you mentioned how overwhelmed the GBI lab is. They had their budget slashed so badly a few years ago. Now the family of this man will have to wait a long time to bury him. How many serious crimes await trial because the lab can't keep up? This is a big problem.

Stan Kenton: Easy Go
Stan Kenton (piano)
Easy Go (Capitol Jazz 24553)
Buddy Childers, Maynard Ferguson, Chico Alvarez, Jimmy Salko (trumpets); Milt Bernhart, Harry Betts, Herbie Harper, John Halliburton (trombones); Bud Shank, Art Pepper (alto saxes); Bob Cooper, Bart Caldarell (tenor saxes); Bob Gioga (baritone sax), Laurindo Almeida (guitar), Don Bagley (bass), Shelly Manne (drums).
Recorded: Hollywood, CA, August 21, 1950
Rating: 84/100 (learn more)
During his "Innovations" period, Kenton would drop the strings between tours and play dance gigs to recoup the money he'd lost. He also continued to record singles, which he and Capitol Records hoped would sell so that he'd get airplay. "Easy Go" is another riff-based tune which got the dancers up on the floor and gave Rogers and Fitzpatrick a chance to blow.

Wi-Fi continues to be popular with users in many parts of the world – and a recent study shows that the Wi-Fi equipment market increased by 16.5 percent.
The ABI Research study also showed that 802.11N (Dual band) was the preferred wireless protocol during the first six months of this year.
Cisco (News - Alert) is top-ranked enterprise Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) equipment maker. It has 36 percent of market share, globally. Next are ZTE and Aruba.

Cisco is dominant in the North American and European markets, the study said. On the other hand, Cisco is “increasingly losing ground from close competition from ZTE (News - Alert) in APAC, Latin America, and MEA [regions].”
Aruba came in third edging out HP Procurve “with a stronger presence in North America and Europe with little or no presence in Asia and Latin American markets,” the study adds.
“Increasing bandwidth requirement continues to drive 802.11n (Dualband) wireless protocol while the market slowly starts to adopt its successor and more advanced 802.11ac protocol in the enterprise WLAN market,” Adarsh Krishnan, ABI Research (News - Alert) senior analyst, TV, video and broadband, added.
In the Consumer/SOHO WLAN sector, TP-LINK is first in the equipment market, with much of the APAC market. TP-LINK “is becoming a growing presence in other regions,” the study added. Netgear (News - Alert) is in second place and has a “strong” market share in North America and Europe, with D-Link next. In addition, TP-LINK dominates the APAC region.
ZTE and Technicolor (News - Alert) are “rapidly increasing” market shares in Latin America. ZTE continues to lose its market share to TP-Link and Technicolor in the region.
The study also looked at the residential gateway equipment market. “Dual and triple play services from broadband Internet service providers continue to drive the residential gateway equipment market where Netgear continues to be the market leader worldwide,” ABI Research TV, video and broadband practice director, Sam Rosen added in the statement.
In related news, a recent study from Strategy Analytics shows that a quarter of households worldwide installed Wi-Fi networks. In addition, the total global number of Wi-Fi households will reach nearly 800 million in 2016, a penetration rate of 42 percent.
It was also predicted by the study that more than 110 million Wi-Fi connections will be added in Chinese homes over the next five years.
In reviewing the data, Strategy Analytics analyst Kantideep Thota explained that, “As most broadband growth will come from Asia Pacific, the bulk of Wi-Fi household growth will also will take place in China, India and other emerging Asia Pacific countries. China alone will account for 31 percent of total Wi-Fi household growth over the next five years.”

Re: Zack Ryder Discussion Thread *YOUTUBE CHANNEL + WRESTLING*
They've been hit or miss recently, there are some that are probably among the best and there are some that were made in a rush. It seems recently that the quality has picked up again. I'd say that #77 (aka as the Dream) is def one of the top 5.

I had another post out about my serious medical condition and inability to do much “fancy” stuff right now and how I was getting totally bored and unsatisfied with eating salads all day. I do have a blender and a good food processor and just got a sprouting bag but do not have the energy right now to make anything due to prep and even more so, clean up.
I read some posts that said that new raw foodists will want to “cook” alot of raw recipes when first starting out and then will eventually just do simple. Well…since I have not had the energy to “cook” anything, I have done simple and I am finding it boring and totally unsatisfying. I have been having salads every day, coupled with some cooked food (and occassional meat..i am transitioning :)
I am finding it much harder to make the full transition because I am unable to make my raw foods interesting and satisfying and I am eating more cooked food that I want. My husband cooks it for me when I am too ill to make anything and am sick of “rabbit food” (sorry ;( Traditional cooking is all he knows how to do quick, easy and tasty (but not necessarily healthy ;( He eats mostly cooked food and doesn’t have time to make separate intricate raw stuff for me after working 60 hours a week.)
I try to put different things in the salad and add nuts and seeds for variety and to make it more filling and do different salad dressings but unless I add a protein like chick peas, I am still hungry, I am finding eating to be more of survival than enjoyment..is that what raw food is about..just eating to survive?? I am asking seriously because unless I am able to “cook” some interesting stuff, I am finding salads boring and unsatisfying.
Is it that making raw food dishes in the beginning is in a way to get used to the greens and other veggies and then once your body gets used to them, you crave and enjoy them in their purest form?? I was told I was going to start craving green drinks…personally, if I don’t add an apple to my green drinks, I want to gag,sorry ;( I am having a hard time seeing how I will start craving them,..but I believe if it many others say the same thing. Oh, and i don’t eat any fruit except lemons in water and also in most of my dressings, occasional grapefruit- non sweet kind, and some apples to sweeten green drinks. I have bad candida and have been told to stay clear of all fruit because sugar is sugar even in natural form, but oh I miss it and love it.
Any thoughts on how to enjoy raw foods more without having to make fancy raw dishes? If noone has any answers, I’ll just nickname myself “rabbit” and try to tame my urges for cooked food or anything that tastes good ;) | <urn:uuid:d85e63aa-62d3-4b02-bd1f-4ec5852f09e4> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | https://www.therawtarian.com/community/f/discussion/8157/going-raw-and-going-bored | 2016-05-30T01:07:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464049282327.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524002122-00000-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.967364 | 617 | [

Caine's performances in A Muppet Christmas Carol, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Deathtrap and California Suite are faultless.

My top 10 Christmas movies that I think everyone should watch: 1. The Gathering with Ed Asner and Maureen Stapleton 2. The Gift of Love, a Christmas Story with Lee Remick 3. The Muppet Christmas Carol with Kermit the Frog and Michael Caine 4. The Night they saved Christmas with Jacklyn Smith and Art Carney 5. A Hobo's Christmas with Barnard Hughes and Gerald McRaney 6. A Muppet Family Christmas 1987 7. The Christmas Box with Richard Thomas and Maureen Ohara 8. The Christmas Carol 1938 with Reginold Owens and Gene Lockart 9. That Special Night with James Garner and Julie Andrews 10. Mickeys Christmas Carol
Typical Friday: Start nodding off reading Sherlock Holmes, then pass out with the lights on watching the Muppet Christmas Carol.
In the process of watching the 1951 A Christmas Carol with Alastair Sim (last night was 1938's version with Reginald Owen). Next on the list is the 1970 Albert Finney version. Then 1984's George C. Scott version. I'll round it out with Scrooged from 1988 and end it all with 1992's A Muppet Christmas Carol. Humbug.

Everything is ready for the launch of the French Karting Championship, season 2010. The FFSA has honoured its commitments to make the Grand Prix Open Karting in Varennes sur Allier a major event in the calendar. The list of announced participants is absolutely convincing, with almost 160 entered drivers in the four categories. The KZ2 and "Nationale" categories currently count the highest number of registered drivers, but the KF2 and KF3 are no less successful.
The best French teams will battle over the weekend on the exciting circuit of Varennes, which will also see good international participation. Stimulated by the forthcoming European Championship, , KZ2 will start off strong for the first GPO of the year. Jérémy Iglesias (Intrepid/TM), European KZ1 vice champion and Anthony Abbasse (Sodi/TM) French KZ2 vice champion, will be the international stars, but they will have to watch out for a few specialists such as Yan Pesce (Energy/TM), Yannick Savard (CRG/Maxter), Pierre Ragues (Sodi/TM) as well as Simone Brenna (TBkart/TM), the Italian driver currently second in the European Championship standings.
Newly created by the FFSA, the "Nationale" category of the French Championship already stirs a craze. Numerous drivers have been seduced by 2010 innovative ideas. All these elements contributed to attract a group of over 70 drivers.
Thomas Lemoult (Birel) will try and transform his 2009 Cup into a 2010 champion title, though he will find on his way some die-hard rivals named Alexandre Anstett (Tony Kart), William Westerloppe (Mirage), Jules Afonso (Tony Kart) and Swiss Colin Schumacher (Birel). Mention can also be made of Félix Sandin (Kosmic), Alexis Leguay (Energy), Lucas Exbrayat (PCR), just a few of a long list of rivals with maybe some surprises in store.
In KF2, there could be a fight at the top between Sébastien Bailly (Sodi/Parilla), current holder of the title, Pascal Belmaaziz (Intrepid/TM), who won the title in KF3 last year, Clément Bluy (Tony Kart/Vortex), the experienced one, Vincent Fraïsse (Intrepid/TM), the sure value, and Pierre-Henri Nanot (FA Kart/Vortex) who returned to competition after a long absence. Attention should also be paid to the enthusiasm of the young ones, such as Alex Baron (Sodi/Parilla), Victor Sendin (Tony Kart/Vortex), Jeoffrey Rouchy (Tony Kart/Vortex), John Fillipi (Tony Kart/Vortex), Swiss Jimmy Antunès (Intrepid/TM), Belgian Denis Dupont (Tony Kart/Vortex) from Daem's Racing and American Andrcik Zeen (Sodi/Parilla).
As in KF2, several KF3 drivers will be the GPOs with all the experience gathered during the international races (WSK, CIK) held at the beginning of the season. Pierre Gasly (Sodi/Parilla) and Anthoine Hubert (Tony Kart/Vortex) could be the men to beat for a hunting pack led by Rémy Deguffroy (Tony Kart/Vortex), Charles Leclerc (Maranello/Maranello), Valentin Moineault (Merlin/Parilla) as well as Léo Roussel (Sodi/Parilla). Girls will be well represented too, with Lucille Cypriano (FA Kart/Vortex), Ingrid Girard (Intrepid/Vortex) and Erine Ferrari (Tony Kart/Vortex).
LP Tent: A New Partner for the GPO Events
LP Tent, a manufacturer of high-quality structures for sports and leisure, has decided to associate its image with that of the GPO events by becoming an official partner. LP Tent offers a wide range of quality products, which comply with the most stringent standards.
LP Tent will contribute to driver prizes with premium items that will be given to winners at the end of the season and will be a regular presence at the GPO partners' space to show all its know-how.
See you in Varennes from Friday, 28th of May for the great celebration of karting in France. | <urn:uuid:75d9a82a-330b-496b-a46f-240f603176f7> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://www.kartcom.com/pt/pressrel/cpr/varennes-gpo-let-the-party-begin | 2016-05-24T23:32:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464049273946.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524002113-00190-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.915991 | 948 | [

Subject: login too verbose during failed login (was: lib/30923)
To: None <[email protected]>
From: Bernd Ernesti <[email protected]>
Date: 08/27/2005 07:08:47
lets move this thread to tech-security now, which i'm doing with this mail.
Please only reply to tech-security and not current-users or me too.
For the readers on tech-security which didn't saw it on current-users:
Please read http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=30923
for more information what this pr wants:
: I've enabled telnet without authentication in inetd.conf
: Then telnetted to the machine.
: When trying to log in as root and entering a correct or wrong password, I'm getting two different Error Messages instead of the same.
This pr is about -current. 2.x needs also be fixed, but in a different way,
because it doesn't use pam. Zafer Aydogan opend another pr for 2.x: lib/31059.

Such a change has to be enabled by default.
It should be implented asap and a login.conf change can come later, if
we even want such an switch, which I personally don't want.

It doesn't matter if they use SSH or something else, here we are talking about
telnet and this needs to be fixed. | <urn:uuid:dff34092-fb72-4e7b-989f-7bcfd7d9ed60> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-security/2005/08/27/0001.html | 2016-05-27T17:20:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464049276964.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524002116-00105-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.920512 | 986 | [

Today I gave a talk on the geology of the Grand Canyon. My attentive audience
was 130 visitors to the national park. Briefly and without using jargon, I covered
topics in tectonism, headward erosion, river gradients, volcanism, sedimentation,
accommodation space, stratigraphy, regional geography, rock properties and erosional
processes in arid environments. I love it! Never in my geology career have I
had such opportunity to understand and, in turn, relate so many different processes
to such an eager and diverse group of listeners. And what a diversity of listeners
I had today, ranging four-year-olds to seniors and all visiting the Grand Canyon
on a snowy April day.
Im a Park Ranger/Naturalist. I tell people that I have finally discovered what to be when I grow up a ranger.
My first career was in oil exploration after I earned a graduate degree from the Colorado School of Mines. I had chosen geology because I was attracted to becoming a scientist who works outdoors in mountains. For much of my oil-patch career, I was able to be involved at least in some fieldwork, although walking on rock became more of a novelty as time passed. Instead I was adding new specialties such as computer fixes, preparation and revision of Gantt charts, budgeting, and economic evaluations. All great sport, but my attraction was to the outdoors.
Then came my big chance: a company buyout and an offer of early retirement. It looked like my wife Lori and I could live on my retirement payment and savings as long as we did not adopt a lavish lifestyle. We both elected to retire, to sell our house in Houston and to find whatever useful and enjoyable work we could outside of an office she in teaching, and I in geology. The answer for us was the National Park Service.
Were thoroughly enjoying the comfort, freedom, minimal expense and lifestyle of full-time RV living and thereby making financial success in doing independent geology. I suppose that part of our work is minimizing our expenses just as I was once doing for the company that employed me. All the while I can be the geologic general practitioner and teacher I had hoped to be. My wife is finding the teaching aspects of her ranger duties to be equally satisfying.
I began our new life by submitting applications through the Web site where every opening in the federal government is listed. I submitted applications to several parks, but found that I was scoring poorly in the government evaluation of my résumé. I knew I was good wasnt I? Why the low scores?
To my rescue came Judy Geniac of the Geologic Resources Division of the National Park Service. When she looked over my résumé, her response was that it was well organized and full of good academic credentials, professional achievement and company technical publications and very boring! She asked me: Had I ever done anything fun, like leading field trips, as rangers do? Had I been a docent at a local park, spoken to school groups, dealt with people?
Her point was well taken because the task of interpreting park geology in words everyone can understand is perhaps a rarity.
When I affirmed in my résumé that I could connect with people who do not have science training, Park Service ears perked up. I pointed out that while I was still working at the oil company, I had volunteered at Brazos Bend State Park near Houston, which is where this ranger idea of mine started.
I spent my first summer at Grand Canyon, initially as a volunteer and later, when a position became available, as a paid ranger with, yes, the flat hat, badge and all. The succeeding three summers were at Yellowstone. I have deliberately looked for seasonal jobs, leaving the rest of the year for a bit of college teaching, writing and volunteering.
My other title is Interpreter, and to achieve true interpretation I use common, non-technical words. Words such as tectonism never appear in my talks unless I carefully define and describe the process. Usually my talks are so short that I have no time to introduce new words. Instead, I use analogies from common experiences hose water soaking into a driveway to illustrate the concepts of porosity and permeability. These analogies help my listeners connect the concept we are discussing to their own experience. The objective of a ranger talk is not to inject a body of facts into visitors heads, but to open their eyes to a new way of seeing and thinking about their park, about geology and about science.
The Park Service seems to be hungry for geologic interpreters people who can explain and translate the world of geology so that visitors make deeper, more insightful connections to the parks they visit. So eager is the Park Service that one function of the Geologic Resources Division is to facilitate placement of geologists throughout the country.
What an opportunity we have to showcase our science. Folks from around the world come to our national parks for the wonder that we geologists can help them see.
Park visitors want to learn everything. Because of their questions, I have refreshed and expanded my geologic background and at the same time gained a bonus that I can now talk about ecology, botany, human history, archeology, the politics of river management, and astronomy all subjects about which visitors express curiosity.
The best part is researching every aspect of the geology that might touch the park where I am stationed. Using a vocabulary that is understandable for the non-professional and gauging and adjusting to interest levels and time availability of the visitors all demand ongoing evaluation. What a broadening and challenging experience! What a delight to share with attentive listeners! What a pleasure it is to encourage others to be enthusiastic about geology! | <urn:uuid:69456430-c869-49c0-92ed-6a45063be883> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://www.geotimes.org/july03/column.html | 2016-05-27T16:06:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464049276964.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524002116-00105-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971625 | 1,187 | [

We dropped the rental car at the airport (nearly went straight to the airport, forgetting to return the car to the rental agency - then got a bit lost). Then we nearly missed our flight while we sat in Starbucks in the airport and lost track of time.

Have you ever been to church and seen the light? Well at the recent Light Festival in Ghent, Belgium, the Luminarie De Cagna created an LED cathedral that lit up the entire city of Belfortstraat with a glowing psychedelic aura. The result is arguably beautiful enough to make anybody a believer.
The LED Cathedral mixes Romanesque and Renaissance architecture with glowing rainbow ornamentation. It stands 91 feet tall at its peak and is made of 55,000 LED lights. Check out the astounding light display below, and tell us this isn't divine! | <urn:uuid:b9f5fcd8-b67f-4fde-a320-7d6f5e666aa4> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/31/light-festival-ghent-2012_n_1245311.html | 2016-05-30T09:59:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464050955095.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524004915-00020-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.941435 | 113 | [

This fiftieth release in Hyperion’s glorious ‘English Orpheus’ series takes us on a Shakespearean Odyssey through Titus Andronicus, Measure for Measure, Troilus and Cressida, Much Ado about Nothing, Henry VIII, Cymbeline, Love’s Labour’s Lost, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Tempest. Pride of place, of course, goes to Thomas Arne’s immortal settings, but the disc additionally explores some remarkable songs by his predecessors and contemporaries.
Shakespeare was the foundation of the Restoration theatrical repertory. His plays were initially revived along with the works of other Jacobean playwrights out of necessity, but a number of them remained popular even after a new Restoration repertory had developed. It is no accident that The Tempest was the most popular of all the plays in the Restoration period, for it is the one that benefits most from spectacular staging and the addition of lavish music. The Restoration version, an adaptation by William Davenant and John Dryden, was put on in 1667 and was revised by Thomas Shadwell in 1674 with many more opportunities for music. This version, with music by John Banister, Matthew Locke, Pelham Humfrey and others, remained in use until the early eighteenth century, when it was replaced by the music long attributed to Henry Purcell, now thought to be by Purcell’s pupil John Weldon. The only piece of genuine Purcell in the score is the playful song ‘Dear pretty youth’, apparently sung in Act IV, Scene iii of the 1674 version by Dorinda to her lover Hippolito, who has supposedly been killed by his rival Ferdinand; both Dorinda and Hippolito were extra characters added in the Restoration adaptation. We have also included one of the finest numbers from the Weldon score, the Purcellian ground bass song ‘Dry those eyes which are o’erflowing’, sung by Ariel in Act III, Scene iii to Alonzo, Gonzales and Antonio.
Three of the other pieces recorded here come from productions in the London theatres around 1700. Jeremiah Clarke’s fine overture for Titus Andronicus probably dates from 1696, when Ravenscroft’s adaptation of the play was republished. The young composer seems to have come up to London from Winchester to help Daniel Purcell with the music for Christopher Rich’s company at Drury Lane shortly after Henry Purcell’s sudden death in November 1695. It is likely that the two movements come from a complete suite for the play, otherwise lost. At this period the rival theatre company was run by Thomas Betterton at Lincoln’s Inn Fields, with music mainly supplied by John Eccles. Eccles’s simple but effective song ‘Can life be a blessing?’ seems to have been written for an unrecorded production of Dryden’s adaptation of Troilus and Cressida around 1695, when the play was republished. Weldon’s brilliant setting of ‘Take, O take those lips away’ was apparently written for the production of Charles Gildon’s adaptation of Measure for Measure at Lincoln’s Inn Fields in 1700.
Although spectacular musical productions of Shakespeare declined in popularity after about 1710, when Italian opera began to dominate the London theatrical scene, composers continued to set his lyrics for concert or domestic use. Richard Leveridge’s setting of famous words from Love’s Labour’s Lost is a case in point: it combines into a single strophic song the matching lyrics ‘When daisies pied and violets blue’ and ‘When icicles hang by the wall’, sung in the play by Spring and Winter respectively. Maurice Greene’s suave setting of ‘Orpheus with his lute’ is not known to have been written for a stage production. It uses the bipartite form popular in the early eighteenth century with contrasted settings of each verse, the second imitating the ‘billows of the sea’ with flowing passages in the bass. By contrast, Thomas Chilcot’s haunting setting of the same lyric is strophic and has an orchestral accompaniment, with flute obbligato and pizzicato strings imitating the lute. Chilcot was organist of Bath Abbey, and is not known to have written for the theatre. His Twelve English Songs are notable for the high quality of their texts, ranging from Shakespeare to Anacreon and Euripides. Chilcot’s charming Arne-like setting of ‘Hark, hark, the lark’ casts the lyric into two repeated sections, like many ‘pleasure gardens’ songs of the period, while his fine ‘Pardon, goddess of the night’ is through-composed, but is remarkably varied within the constraints of the siciliana rhythm.
There was a revival in interest in Shakespeare on the stage around 1740, prompted by the revolution in Shakespearean acting initiated by Charles Macklin and David Garrick. Macklin was lucky to have Thomas Arne available to provide music for his Drury Lane productions: Arne’s settings of songs for As You Like It (1740), The Merchant of Venice (1741), The Tempest (1740 and 1746) and Cymbeline (1744) have never been surpassed or forgotten since they were written. Arne tended to use either the strophic form, with a simple almost folk-like melody, as in ‘To fair Fidele’s grassy tomb’, or the ‘pleasure gardens’ form of two sections enclosed by opening and closing ritornelli, as in ‘When daisies pied and violets blue’, ‘When icicles hang on the wall’ and, most memorably, ‘Where the bee sucks, there lurk I’. Arne is also notable for his simple but effective orchestration, using two- or three-part strings with a flute where necessary to imitate birds. It is normally said that ‘Honour, riches, marriage-blessing’ from the Act IV masque in The Tempest was written for the 1746 production, but it only survives in a much later manuscript, and is in Arne’s later Italianate style, with brilliant passage-work for the voice. It is therefore likely to be for the 1776 revival of the play at Covent Garden.
Arne was not the only composer to write attractive Shakespeare settings at the time. The Dutch composer Willem De Fesch wrote music for a production of The Tempest at Drury Lane in 1746, including an up-to-date setting of ‘All fancy sick’ as a da capo aria for soprano, flute and continuo. A decade later John Christopher Smith, Handel’s pupil and assistant, included some striking settings of well-known lyrics in his two Shakespearean operas The Fairies (1755), derived from A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and The Tempest (1756). ‘You spotted snakes’ creates a magical atmosphere by the use of drones and hushed unison passages, while the remarkable ‘Full fathom five’ evokes distant bells with strings pizzicato and muted. We have included a concerto by the painter, civil servant and wind player Robert Woodcock to represent the sort of music that would have been played in the intervals of eighteenth-century productions of Shakespeare plays. Like many concertos of the period written for the London theatres, it has no viola part and is written in a light Italianate style. Woodcock died in April 1728, and his XII Concertos in Eight Parts seem to have been published soon afterwards as a posthumous tribute to him. Thus the three flute concertos included in the collection seem to be the earliest published anywhere for the instrument.

A California man accused of running a Ponzi scheme that cost investors more than $18 million has been indicted on federal fraud and money laundering charges.
A federal grand jury indictment unsealed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Eugene charged 68-year-old Louis J. Borstelmann of Thousand Oaks, Calif., with soliciting about 100 people, including some in Oregon, to invest in real estate through his company, Sunburst Associates Inc.
Federal prosecutors allege that Borstelmann offered loans through his company that he claimed were secured by real estate deeds of trust.
The indictment charged that Borstelmann falsely promised high rates of return and a security interest in the property while using money from the most recent investors to pay earlier investors.
Arraignment set for Nov. 8 in Eugene.

Plus Size Wedding Information
Plus size wedding gowns and clothing accessories for the fuller figure bride should be as beautiful and as varied as they are for the thinner bride, but it seems that designers and wedding dress manufacturers prefer to offer the more desirable wedding dresses to fit those figures up to a size 16. Girls with a fuller figure are finding it increasingly frustrating trying to find the dress of their dreams.
Is this fair? - No it's not fair, and why should it be, as beautiful brides come in all shapes and sizes. Why shouldn't you have a dress that makes you feel wonderful on your special day?
The vast majority of dress designers tend to neglect the fuller figure bride and prefer to focus their designs to accommodate the sizes 6 to 14 leaving everyone else less choice and feeling rather abandoned. Some enlightened bridal stores are stocking plus size wedding gowns and catering more for this market and for your needs but we feel that there still is a lot more that can be done. Prices for plus size wedding gowns can also be expensive. Whilst it's true that larger wedding gowns require more material, the surcharges imposed are usually a lot more than the additional material cost and, in some cases, seems punitive and unnecessary.
We don't believe that's fair as every bride, no matter what size or shape, should at least be entitled to a reasonable choice of beautiful designs with features especially created to help you look & feel wonderful on your special day.
We do not charge more for a plus size wedding dress up to and including plus size 20 (most bridal stores increase their prices from 16). We only impose a modest £40 for plus sizes 22, 24 and 26
We have carried out extensive research by talking to bridal stores and, most importantly, the plus size brides to ask you what you want and what you would like to see and we have managed to compile a list of features and sensible suggestions which we hope will be of help to you.
Here are some sensible tips which we hope will help you when choosing your perfect wedding dress.
When it comes to choosing a plus size wedding dress if you feel that your weight will fluctuate and you’re worried that you might lose or even gain weight when it comes to your wedding day, why not choose a wedding dress that has a lace up bodice? This will save you money as you won't have to pay for alterations and it will allow you to adjust the fitting according to your actual weight on the day.
Go for a design that incorporates a lace up bodice so you won't have to pay for last minute alterations as your dress will fit you well, no matter if your weight fluctuates up or down.
If you are conscience of your bust then don't go for A bodice design that is heavily encrusted or embroidered as this not only adds an illusion of a little more weight but actually accentuates the bust size even more. Go for a plainer bodice with perhaps decoration around the bust line edge.
Wearing your dress throughout the day should be a pleasure and is what you have been looking forward to. If you feel you need extra support to hold up your bust then go for a design that helps you, with sensible non lace straps, as they will irritate your shoulder. Go for wide and comfortable straps or a halter neck design.
If you are conscience of your upper arms and you feel you want cover them or you have tattoos then why not go for a design with chiffon sleeves, which are lightweight and delicate and in some cases can be detachable for the reception.
If you want to disguise any midriff bulges you can either go for a swept material design or a very plain but reinforced bodice to effectively hold in the waist line. The latter may feel slightly less comfortable after wearing the dress for several hours. The secret is to try out both styles for more than 30 minutes.
Your wedding day is your special day and we want you to have the dress of your dreams that makes you feel special.

Artist – Sonja Myburgh and Adeline Wilkinson
We hope you like the navy and tattooing as much as Norman “Sailor Jerry” Collins did because that’s the inspiration for our Sailor Jerry Room. It depicts the life and times of Norman “Sailor Jerry” Collins, with a double, wooden-framed bed and a single bed situated above it to give you that navy bunk feeling. Also, the room is full of “tattoo flash”, all drawn by Norman Collins.
Tattoo flash is a stereotypical tattoo design printed or drawn on paper or cardboard, and may be regarded as a species of industrial design.
Feeling creative? In the room is a lightbox equipped with tracing paper, pencils and the history of flash. Bring out the aspiring tattoo artist within and display your creation next to the tattoos previous guests have made. And remember, as Norman “Sailor Jerry” Collins once said: “I haven’t done my best yet… only my best so far.”
In his early days, Jerry was hand-poking Pelikan ink tattoos. At the age of 19, he was cutting his tattoo chaps in the infamous arcades of State Street in Chicago. Here he joined the navy which took him across the Pacific to China and Japan, a journey that sparked his lifelong interest in Asian art and culture, after which he settled down in Hawaii in the early 1930’s. There he started up his own tattoo shop and for 40 years he put ink on the fighting men of the Pacific.
The reason for his popularity was his deftly-crafted, boldly-lined style, which was a combination of American designs and traditions coupled with Asian coloring and sensibilities. This style is visible on the tattooed walls of the room, as well as in the paintings and flash work portrayed throughout.
His one-of-a-kind tattoos and flash work would eventually find their way into the secretive world of Japanese tattoo masters. Sailor Jerry became one of the first American tattoo artists to correspond directly with these masters – trading colors, designs and techniques.
With spiced rum being a drink most associated with sailors, a group of Sailor Jerry fans created a rum named after Norman Collins to keep his legacy alive. They’d first started with a small clothing brand in Philadelphia, collaborating with local artists to make leather goods, sneakers, t-shirts and other products featuring Sailor Jerry’s flash work, but since Sailor Jerry spent half of his life as a sailor and the other half tattooing sailors, it was a natural move to create the choice drink of sailors to honour his name. A cult soon grew around the rum, and pretty soon, it outsold anything else they made.
So grab a bottle of Sailor Jerry spiced rum at our bar and experience his unique style as you head into the enchanting world of the Sailor Jerry room!

"I love how no one counts the time it takes to cast this WOPPING 15 second casted debuff. Oh, and that stun you fear so much is CASTED. So when you say you just took 2000 damage in 5 seconds, remove head from sphincter. Oh, and casters, once you get debuffed/stunned use your PURGE !!!!!!!! " heat debuff is a 2 second cast spell... probably less with high dex. 15 secs is plenty to nuke a guy 3 times, dont you think? Who cares if the stun is casted? It's free. Quick cast it. Heat debuff. 3 quick nukes. Even if the stun wears off, theres no way the sorc will be able to qc anything before being nuked again, unless he times it juuuust right. | <urn:uuid:6f1af2c6-6130-4c2f-9c33-1e492c5e8a2c> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://www.ign.com/boards/threads/a-picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words-re-mana-chanters.452392835/page-3 | 2016-05-25T08:59:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464049274191.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524002114-00210-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.943948 | 177 | [

It costs 60 RMB to get in, and it's kind of nice, but the crowds are HUGE -- especially on Chinese national holidays. Try to travel there when not on holiday, unless you're an ESL teacher in China, in which case that might be your only chance :D
This parking garage in Beijing uses a two-tiered parking system which electrically moves the cars up and over to use more of the space in the parking garage. Each owner has a remote that can be used to move their car in and out of the parking platform.

What you need is a 33 inch soft vinyl Mazinger with removable Pilder. And fortunately for us all, Fewture is making one. And it's only $300. Of course, shipping nearly 3 feet of soft vinyl from Japan will probably cost more than the toy itself. And the smell! But that's ok. You're dedicated. It's the GigaByte Sofubi Series from Fewture. | <urn:uuid:6a549abc-1b78-4726-a21b-e773ddce1a11> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://www.zincpanic.com/article/22982.html | 2016-05-25T07:12:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464049274191.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524002114-00210-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.949695 | 85 | [

Saturday September 25th
Is it time yet??? many waiting in line at the Solano County Fairgrounds said to themselves as they anticipated the gate opening to the 1st Fatlace Klas::sik.
Before I go into show details lets walk backwards and define Fatlace,
Fatlace Store is your typical shop with dope beats, comfy sneaks and kids from car meets but stay a while and discover the details that set this place apart from your usual street boutique. Chill with the crew, grab some free candy and enjoy the exquisiteness that is Japantown
Now that you are all caught up it's time to talk about the Klas::sik Show, over a 100+ cars showed up to display some of the latest JDM, Euro, VIP, and Drift styles the display brought in people from all parts of Nor and So Cal together for a day in the sun.
The crowds gathered at the entrance to the fairgrounds entrance to get a look at some of the coolest rides around many got to meet vehicle owners and have many questions answered about how they started tuning and were they thought the scene direction could go.
There was also an amateur drift exhibition where entrants that registered their vehicles could get a shot a tearing up some asphalt, while tires screeched across the course, DJ's kept the crowd moving with the latest underground sounds.
The Vendors of Weapon R and Hieghroglyphics Hip Hop Group had booths available to make purchases of fresh gear and car accessories, NOS Energy provided refreshments to the thirsty.. there were also other options close by to the show if you needed a burger fix.
But sadly to many the show had to come to an end but after a day of stunning cars on display and cool crowd of enthusiasts to share the moment with most left satisfied..
But wait does anyone know when the next Klas::sik will be???? hopefully soon!!!
Thanks for a great show Fatlace Crew Stay Fresh!
Fatlace is located in San Francisco at Japantown the store address is 1630 Post St. San Francisco, CA. 94115 they also have an Fatlace Online Emporium | <urn:uuid:34d6632b-f17c-42e6-93c9-a8647930fac6> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://luxuryfashionacceleration.blogspot.com/ | 2016-05-27T23:57:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464049277286.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524002117-00125-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96195 | 445 | [

From: Owen <[email protected]> To: Teacher2Teacher Public Discussion Date: 2007092517:01:18 Subject: How to identify numerals You may want to try the "DotMath for kids" system. It has dots to help explain what the value of the number symbol is. It also has the basic numbers associated with animals to help the child remember without counting every time. If you type "dotmath for kids" into your search box it will find the site for you. The charts and graphics on the site are free to use as long as you do not use touch math. If you use touch math you may not use any of the material from the site or system at all. This is explained on the site. There is a list of other systems on the site that do not conflict with "dotmath for kids" and they may be of some help as well. I hope you find this information helpful.

|Acoustics of baroque, classical and modern flutes|
This may be compared with the fingering for D5, but with two register holes. It also overblows to D6. It may also be considered as the fingering for C#5/6 with enough cross fingering to flatten them approximately a semitone and C#6 a little more. The 2nd, 4th, 1st and 3rd minima, respectively, correspond to these pitches.
Beats are possible.
You can hear the multiphonic C#5 & D5 played by Geoffrey Collins.

1985. Columbia Pictures, Columbia/Tristar Home Video, Color, Aspect Ratio 1.85 : 1, 107 minutes, Rated PG-13
Release Date: December 25, 1985
Murphys Romance is available at Amazon.com on DVD and VHS.
Movie Synopsis: A divorced single mother and her son make a new start in a small town in the Arizona desert, finding that their hard work and perseverance bring many rewards, including a quite unexpected romance. ~Aimee
Cast: James Garner, Sally Field, Corey Haim, Brian Kerwin, Georgann Johnson, Charles Lane
Director: Martin Ritt
Thoughts on the Movie:
This is such a delightful movie that I could watch it again and again, and enjoy it every bit as much each time. With two lead actors like James Garner and Sally Field, the plot could probably be anything and it would work out, but here we have a story that is simply timeless and completely wonderful, and the two major players certainly make the most of it. Other pluses to note about this film? Music (by Carole King A+), Western Style (A+), Wit and Humor (A+) and location (by God A+++). You get the idea.
There are so many enjoyable moments in the film, and a good many of them come from Garners natural charm. Hes as smooth as silk, as cool as homemade peach ice cream, and as attractive as an Okie-turned-Hollywood-Star is expected to be. And Sally Field is perfect in the role of a strong, but somewhat-ditsy (at times), woman who is doing her best to make it on her own in a distinctively mans world of horses, stables, barns and all-around Cowboy Culture. And isnt it great when she wins at Bingo? This movie is definitely in my top 10 all-time favorite list, and James Garner might actually be my second favorite all-time actor (following No. 1, Paul Newman). Love it, love it, love it! ~Jean
Florence, Arizona (see Map)
The town of Florences preserved Main Street and the surrounding open desert scenery served as major locations for Murphys Romance. The building that was used as Murphys drugstore is actually a Farmers Insurance office. The interiors of the Lunch Counter and Soda Fountain were in the General Store about a block south of the building used as the drugstore. And Sally Fields character did walk along the actual Florence Main Street in an attempt to get her horse boarding flyers in the windows of the local businesses. All scenes filmed in town, were somewhere on Main Street, or nearby.

The current Florence Visitors Center is seen in the photo (below right) behind James Garner and Sally Field. It is an excellent example of the American Victorian style. It opened as a bakery in 1886, and closed in 1930. Over the years it has been used as a grocery store, a hotel, offices, a fraternal organization, and a library.
About Florence, Arizona:
Florence, Arizona (population 23,685; elevation 1,490 feet; 33° 2 32 N, 111° 23 4 W) is located in the south-central part of the state on I-10. Founded in 1866, Florence is one of the oldest towns in Pinal County, and is regarded as a National Historic District with over 25 buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The historic downtown is a time capsule from the silver boom of the 1880s, when the 28 establishments lining Main Street provided refuge for the miners and cowboys who could quench their thirst, gamble, and enjoy female companionship. Although preservation is ongoing, many buildings are still vacant and in disrepair.

James Garners character, Murphy, finally admits that he is sixty years old, but the actor was only 57.
It appears that the Spur Theater, which figured prominently in one scene, does not actually exist on Florences Main Street. It must have been a temporary facade installed by the movie company.
