Paranoia + Hard Work + Ratings = "Lost"
This week's Honolulu Weekly features a cover story by Becky Maltby on the paranoia that pervades through the production ranks of "Lost." The Weekly puts its stories online a week after they're published offline, so here are some excerpts while you wait:
- Are we paranoid? No more than anyone on the Lost payroll...."I'm really pissed off," [Lost's publicist] snapped over the phone from L.A., after hearing that I had interviewed two people from the Lost crew without her permission.... "This is why I hate the local press. You guys don't listen," she continued. "And the wrong information gets printed. Everything you read in the Star-Bulletin is wrong!"
- I explained to her that the article was about daily work life on the set....I didn't want to find out what's in the hatch, I just wanted to talk to a gaffer, best boy, maybe a dolly grip... "Those people are not media trained!" [the publicist] retorted.
- Despite [the on-site producer's] alleged training in media relations, her defensive wall comes across as fairly hostile. A heavy silence follows the question: Do you want the show to stay in Hawai'i? "Well we wouldn't be here if we didn't want it to stay here," she finally blurts. When questioned further on the subject there is another long pause. "It sounds to me like you're digging for a lot of dirt."
- So why all the Woodward-and-Berstein treatment? It all comes to keeping the season plot secret...
Maltby's article then goes on to feature 3 crew members: Local residents Doug Olivares (camera operator) and Joyce McCarthy (2nd 2nd assistant director), and L.A. resident Steve LaPorte (make-up dept. head). Each is excited to be part of such a hit show, but each acknowledges that there is a lot of hard work and long hours that go into making it, much like any film or TV production:
- Doug Olivares says, "To outsiders, Hollywood is so glamourous and they go ga-ga when they see actors.... It's not as romantic as people think. Sometimes you have to drive to the North Shore and then back home after wrap, people fall asleep at the wheel--there are those issues. But it's nice to have a hit here again. It employs people. We get our paycheck, we go out and buy from vendors and the production company buys things from vendors--services and goods--and we're paying taxes on it, so that all helps the economy."
- Joyce McCarthy says: "I'm always working.... It's very weird because you don't participate in everyday life and you try to get everything done on the weekends."
- Steve LaPorte says: "[The show] requires a lot of film-qualify work, labor-intensive. Some people think it's just a show about dirt and sunblock and it's really a lot more than that."
All that hard work and paranoia has paid off: yesterday, the show's season premiere garnered its highest-ever ratings, with 23.1 million people tuning in.

All-American Fourth of July wine
It's the Fourth of July holiday and time to break out some picnic and cook-out wines. So I thought it would be fun to focus on all American wines in honor of our nation's birthday.
What would a party on the Fourth of July be without some sparklers, right? So I have included some of my favorite American sparkling wines as well as those red and whites that would go great with the cook-outs.
For your picnic, you would want to consider the food you will have as well as the weather. If it's really hot, I would recommend a white wine. But if you want to have a red, go with a lighter style of red wine (such as a Barbera or Pinot Noir) that is fruity and low in tannin. It would also be good chilled (yes, you can chill a red wine). Ask your wine store worker for help in picking one out if you aren't sure of what to get, and I have included a few of those examples as well.
Here are my picks for American wines for the holiday cook-outs:
R Main Street Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 — This is a great value in California Cabernet that offers loads of fruit and will pair nicely with a lot of different foods. This has flavors and aromas of plums, cherries, blueberries and a hint of spice. It would be great with steaks from the grill or burgers or pizza. At about $12 per bottle, it's a fantastic value.
R Gruet Brut — This sparkling wine is from New Mexico. It's about $18 per bottle and is worth more. It is widely available at most grocery stores and offers up flavors and aromas of fruit such as apples and pears, as well as hints spices and toasted bread. This would go great with anything from the grill, particularly chicken.
R Cherry Pie Cherry Tart Pinot Noir 2012 — This is the perfect picnic wine. It hails from California and can be served slightly chilled or at room temperature otherwise. It has plenty of fruit and yet enough depth to make it interesting for all levels of wine drinkers. This is perfect for ribs, burgers, brats or anything with barbecue sauce. It offers up flavors and aromas of blackberries, cherries (of course) and hints of vanilla and cranberries. It should cost about $20.
R Robert Mondavi Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 — This is one of the all-time great American wineries and this red wine is complex and intriguing, with flavors and aromas of blackberries, cherries and plums, along with hints of tobacco, mushrooms and spices. It should cost about $30 and would go great with steaks or heartier foods.
R Chateau Ste. Michelle Dry Riesling 2012 — This white wine hails from the Columbia Valley in Washington. It's a refreshing wine that offers up flavors and aromas of peaches, apples, pears and mango, along with hints of oranges. It will go great with salads, seafood or even on its own. This wine can be found for less than $10.
R Argyle Brut 2010 — This sparkling wine is from the Willamette Valley in Oregon. It costs about $25 and tastes like it could cost twice that. It offers up flavors and aromas of apples, pears, peach and citrus, along with toast and fresh bread. It would go great with most foods, and is a perfect sparkler for toasting the fireworks display.

As the CEO of www.taxconnections.com, I looked all over the world for someone I could trust to handle our servers and databases. Nix Solutions Ltd. has delivered support for all our servers in the cloud for several years now and they are amazing. As I talked to other service providers who wanted to charge me 10X more I was stunned and pleasantly surprised to discover Nix Solutions Ltd at their low prices. They have continuously provided outstanding service 24/7 which I am forever grateful. These guys do it all and I would advise any CEO that Nix Solutions Ltd. will exceed their expectations. Also, I should add we discovered Nix Solutions Ltd. only through Guru.com which makes me very happy with your organization, too. Thank you for facilitating the connection.
Ed Bagley | Director of Product Marketing, O.C. Tanner Company
In our company, we do ongoing research with our target audience. This includes 30-45 minute phone interviews. It was difficult to conduct the interview, really listen, and ask good follow up questions while trying to capture it all in thorough hand-written notes. One of our writers suggested using Guru to find someone to transcribe these interviews...The person I hired is the one I've stuck with for nearly two years now – she is fast, accurate, and affordable. I'd never have found her on my own, given that I live in Utah and she lives in South Africa. I could never have arranged such an effective solution to my on-going need for transcripts without Guru. It's been a life-saver.

I was totally under-whelmed by the Berry Stitch. It does have it's uses but I'm not impressed with it. It was easy and quick though, a definite plus with Christmas upon us.
I managed to finish the page even though pressed for time as my parents are coming to visit and there is sooooo very much to do to get ready. As my English friends say, the house is a tip!
The berry stitch was used for Julian's headband and the large circle at the front of it, 2 strands cotton floss except for the large circle which was 6 strands.
This image is from a coin struck during his reign. If you like ironies you will enjoy knowing that Julian was the last emperor in the first Christian dynasty which began with Constantine. Sadly, Julian was called 'the apostate' because he rejected Christianity. Apparently he was a fairly good ruler and he was the last non-Christian ruler for the Roman Empire.

The final book selection for our teen book club this year was Everything, Everything, by Nicola Yoon. This is a really fast read–I finished it in two days, and I wasn't under any pressure to read it quickly. It is just really compelling, and it hooks the reader–you must know what happens next.
As Phoebe notes below, she was turned off by the book initially because it is touted as a young adult romance, but that is not all it is. There are elements of mystery, family relationships, and growing up. Maddy has an extreme immune system disorder–she is basically allergic to everything. So, as a result, she never goes outside, and few people come to her. She pretty much lives in a bubble.
All of that starts to change when Olly and his family move in next door. He and Maddy start with texting and chat, but it doesn't satisfy them for long, and Maddy begins to push against her restrictions. There are consequences to this, and there are some revelations, but, for the most part, the story unfolds in a way that is believable and realistic. I enjoyed the story, even though I am far from the target audience.
There is a sex scene, but it is really subtle, and it is possible to "not see it" if you don't want to. One of the younger readers in the group talked about the characters "making out," and the scene could be read that way.
Potential talking points include what parents feel they need to do to protect their kids, teen relationships, and living with chronic illness.
Now for Phoebe's review!
Everything, Everything, by Nicola Yoon, is a great book. Normally, I hate romance books, but this was the perfect balance; it was romancy, but not too romancy. Everything, Everything is about a girl named Maddy who is so sick that she can't leave her house. Then a boy named Olly moves next door. Maddy falls in love with Olly. With the help of her nurse, Carla, she gets to meet Olly, and they develop a relationship. Maddy starts to take more risks, and dangerous situations result.
What I liked about this book the most is that although it is a romance book, romance isn't all that it is about. It is about Maddy's quest to meet Olly and her struggle to have a life despite her illness. Another thing I liked about this book is that Maddy is homeschooled, and she likes to read. Throughout my one year of being homeschooled, I have not read a book where any of the characters happen to be homeschooled.
This book has a lot twists, and I think I might give some other romance books a chance now that I read Everything, Everything. I would recommend this book to people who think that they don't like romance books. If it hadn't been for my homeschool book club, I would have never read this, but I am glad I did. I look forward to reading Yoon's next book, The Sun is Also a Star, and seeing the movie version of Everything, Everything when it comes out.

On Saturday, I went to a funeral of my Uncle Burt's mother Lois
Kingsley. It was a very good for me to learn about her amazing life of
faithfulness, prayer, teaching and love. My cousin Suzie said it well
when she said that I hope at the end of my life I make half the impact
on others lives that Lois did.
The Events of Yesterday
Parent Teacher Conferences
Right now, I am sitting in parent teacher conferences thinking to
myself… when was it that adulthood came upon me because I feel like
I totally missed that big event.
Last week was busy. It was very good to spend quality time with family
this weekend. I am grateful for it.
Today, it was a huge highlight to have my brother Ryan and sister-in-
law Lindsay bring our nephew Caleb over to hang out. The came to
church with us and then we went for a walk on the Falling Waters Trail
which was entirely lovely and rejuvenating to converse with them and
walk in the autumn cool weather with starbucks in hand.
We Won't Cast Hope Aside
when something good's been tainted
Sometimes, people give me great joy. Like today, I was just watching some of my students helping each other with math while others were just laughing and socializing in a study hall today and it gave me great joy.
The reason I went into teaching was so that I could both learn from and engage young people who really can change the world. I can honestly say that I am learning from students today. I do believe and hope that these kids change the world through love and service as unto Christ. They have got this potential. Don't we all? Oh, that we could just believe it to be true so that our actions might be congruent. Lord, help me to believe.
Check out this site. It's brilliant – guess the correct word and the sponsors at the bottom of the page donate 10 grains of rice to someone who doesn't have any.
Boo! Like a ghost, I return to the blogger.

John Hawkins, the former South Carolina lawmaker who backed the

At a reception held at the Charleston Marriott on Wednesday,
Hawkins told members with the Alliance for Full Acceptance that he is
no longer opposed to gay nuptials.
In 2006, then Republican Senator Hawkins spearheaded the fight in
the Senate to amend the South Carolina Constitution to define
marriage as solely a heterosexual union.
"I honestly wish I hadn't been so strident against gay
marriage," he said in addressing the group.
In comments to ABC affiliate News

"I have two children, two girls, and I want them to grow up

that he tried to basically make amends and make it right," Hawkins

Kobe Scores 37pts against Rockets | All of his Pass off the Glass plays

I went to the dentist today. I was sitting in the chair watching a little television while they stuck those strange objects into my mouth to inspect my teeth. It was just an normal checkup, nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing out of the ordinary until I realized what was on the television.
The T.V. was on the Food Network and it was all about chocolate. It isn't unusual for the Food Network to be having a special on chocolate, because they probably do this at least once a week. What was odd that the dentist office had this playing on their television. Aren't they supposed to discouraging one from eating sweet food like chocolate for fear that one day your teeth will rot away? Shouldn't they have had the gardening channel on? 101 Fruits and Vegetables to Grow in Your Backyard would probably have been more appropriate. I left the dentist's office only craving a Hershey's chocolate bar.
A while back I mentioned that I had signed up for the One Skein Secret Pal Exchange. It begins this month and I will need to send my pal a skein of yarn and a little note before the month is over. I have just begun to think about it. In the mean time, my secret pal is right on top of things. I received my first package today! It was wrapped all cute. See? And inside was this: I think it's absolutely beautiful. It is really soft malabrigo kettle dyed pure merino wool. The color is gorgeous. I'm going to have to really think about what I want to make out of it because its going to be very special. I do know that it will look great in my room: Thank you soo much SP! You are terrific. Hope your secret pal is as good to you as you are to me!

Love how when you hover over an item it lists the features in a box.
The trouble though with GS items is that the box doesn't fit the page. Have tried refining the text size but on a 1440x900 screen no joy, then try it with twin Dwarven axes, whilst you are trying to highlight the features of another weapon ... no joy.
is there an option to lock down the size. I've looked under options and nothing jumps out at me

here is a ballad of HIROMI's.
this is from her first album, Rainbow.
she has a very strong, yet chill kind of voice.
not sure how to explain it, but i like that it's not too strong, out there, kind of sounding, as well as not annoying high pitch and all that.
i need to go find more of her songs~
i miss listening to Japanese music. lol
now that i have the power of the internet, things should be easier to look up!!

1. Re: Object Promotion in 7.6Adam Bowen Apr 30, 2010 11:02 AM (in response to Chris NameToUpdate)1 of 1 people found this helpful
The blcontent pack should upload examples of the acl templates you would need. Your objects start off with a dev template on them. When they are ready for QA, the dev person applies the QA template. The QA person then has access and can do one of two things, apply the prod template to send it to prod, or apply the dev template to send it back down.
That make sense?
2. Re: Object Promotion in 7.6Chris NameToUpdate Apr 30, 2010 11:17 AM (in response to Adam Bowen)
Thanks, Adam. Yeah, I'm following all of that. I'll load the blcontent into my VM environment and take another look at that.
However, the part I'm having troubles wrapping my head around is how we incorporate the concept of individual workspaces into some form of ACL template/policy swapping.
Developers have a /Workspaces/Developers folder for jobs, depot, etc.
We'd like them to promote the package to QA, which includes:
- Altering the ACLs for the QA role (easy enough)
- Simultaneously move the object to the /Workspaces/QA folder ( Am I in NSH script land now?)
It's the concept of not only updating the ACLs, but also moving the package from one physical workspace directory to another. I can't seem to figure a way to simultaneously remove rights from one Role while moving the resource to another directory which the original Role wouldn't even have rights to access.
3. Re: Object Promotion in 7.6Adam Bowen Apr 30, 2010 11:41 AM (in response to Chris NameToUpdate)
Well, you could make an nsh script job that does that, and set the "execution override" to always run as a BLAdmin. In the script you would add the QA template, then move it, then remove the Dev template.
Would that work?
4. Re: Object Promotion in 7.6Bill Robinson Apr 30, 2010 1:14 PM (in response to Adam Bowen)
you'd typically create roles like this:
Dev: create objects, maybe execute against dev servers only.
QA: run deploys against qa only
prod: run deploys against prod only
CM: change managers, modify acls on objects, possibly move them, no ability to modify object or deploy.
CM role moves the objects, maybe based on a property setting on the object. maybe you have a folder called promoted that dev has only write or create access into.

SOME days in May (or SDIM!)
OK folks,
Although I applaud each and every one of you wonderful people that has been able to keep up with the EDIM challenge, and I love French Toast Girl for contributing the great idea to try it, I have fallen woefully behind in my Every Day in May sketch Journal plans.
I fretted about this- even posted about it on the EDM forum, and the fabulous, smart, encouraging people there told me I was worrying too much and to not let it stop me from moving forward.
I decided that I would approach this as a SOME Days in May challenge, and do the best I could.
Turns out, I was slightly in denial when I thought I could do this in the month of May. It is one of my busiest months as I gear down for the summer, with the wrapping-up of two of the classes that I teach, my daughter's end-of-the-school year activities and my volunteer efforts. By mid-month, I was realizing that, even though I loved the whole idea of drawing everyday, I was having trouble keeping up with my day-to-day responsibilities of life in order to keep the EDIM challenge going. My priorities were getting a little skewed.
SDIM makes much more sense to me right now.
I altered French Toast Girl's Every Day in May logo, and I hope she will think it is funny and not be offended by my lightweight approach to the challenge. It seems to be the right thing to do for me anyway....
I have been able to get a few drawings done since I last posted, so I will upload them and include them in this post.
The first one was done as a demo for one of my classes. I was showing how you can use a water wash with Conte' crayon. This particular drawing was done on watercolor paper, drawn with a black Conte' crayon, and then clear water was applied to create the different tones for the wash. I worked from a stock photo, so it is not from life.
The second illustration was done when I spent last weekend at the Nickelodeon Hotel in Orlando with the Girl Scout troop I am the Asst. Troop Leader for. I know it sounds crazy- why weren't we camping, right? We were actually spending our cookie money proceeds on a trip for the troop.
The Nick Hotel had some built in activities for the MANY Girl Scout troops that were there. Parts of it were really fun, but being in that crazy Orlando atmosphere made me know that one night was all I can really handle of the Mousetown. Too many people, too much indulgence, and "fun" found everywhere outside yourself (the worst part, in my opinion).
One of my biggest goals as a parent is to help my daughter find ways to beat boredom besides automatically going to TV, computer, Ipod and Nintendo DS. I feel that, if she can learn to find more interactive ways to create her fun, it will be beneficial to her later on in life.
I was listening to a podcast episode of This American Life a few days ago, and they mentioned that the average American watches 25 hours a week of television. I seriously can't imagine that, but that is what they said. As a family, we watch less than half of that and it STILL feels like too much to me. I'm not dissing TV. I do admit to liking it. I just think that if we cut down on it, it frees up much more time to do something useful and creative. Ok, I am stepping down off the soapbox now, I promise!!

I didn't want you to miss out on the recipe though since my family makes it way more than once a year! If I don't make Boxty on St. Patrick's Day, I get in trouble but I make it more often. I remember my grandmother making this for breakfast with fried eggs and bacon (WARNING: NOT a low calorie food) but even though she told me that I had to learn how to make it or I would "never find a man" she never taught me. So I scoured the internet. I chose the recipe that most closely resembled the way she did it. Then I changed it. I called my aunt to confirm a couple of things since she HAS the recipe. It's in a cookbook that my aunt keeps locked up. So far my aunt and I have traced the cookbook my grandmother used through the late 1800's, and she believes it originated with a particular ancestor in Ireland, which is why I don't have the book or the recipes. Yet. "Boxty on the griddle, boxty in the pan..."
ANYWAY, Boxty is a fried potato patty. I say butter or bacon grease but the best way to do it is to fry the bacon in the pan first, draining the excess fat into a jar as you go. Then make the Boxty, adding more drippings as needed, then fry the eggs. IF you don't use bacon grease or salted butter, add a little bit of salt to the batter.
- 1 medium size potato, grated, raw
- 1/2 cup mashed potatoes (leftover)
- 1/2 cup rice flour
- 1 egg
- 1 Tblsp milk
- Pepper to taste
Mix the flour with the grated potato to soak up the liquid then add the mashed potatoes. In a small, separate, bowl, whisk the egg and milk together. Add to the potatoes and mix well. Add pepper as desired. Drop by spoonfuls on a hot griddle or pan with melted butter or bacon grease. Cook until browned on both sides, flipping once.
That's it! Easy, huh?
Pom and Diva hard at "work"
In homeschooling news, we have been studying Ireland and her flag. We talked about the many wars and even made a cake decorated like the flag! The leprechaun was not caught of course but he did leave some cute trinkets. Probably cause the cake's so cute :)
How was your Holiday?

The banana pudding that made for work yesterday was a big hit at the office. When I checked on the status of it after lunch there is only a one cookie square worth left. I originally wanted to make cookies for a potluck celebration for directors retirement on Friday but I might change my mind and make pudding instead since the ingredients on sale.
I went to spin class tonight (2 classes in a row now...yay!) and then I went over to my parents house to eat dinner. Their relationship with the homeless cat Harry has improved dramatically over the last couple of months. He doesn't run away when you open the door but instead will come up to you, meow and rub his body against your hand.

My friend, Jørgen, doesn't believe I can collect one million giraffes by 2011. I'm gonna prove him wrong, but I need your help. You can create your giraffe(s) in any way you like, but not on a computer and no store bought objects. You must create your giraffe(s) yourself! Click here to read why. So far I've got 39.499 giraffes, so I need 960.501 more! And I have 511 days left to get them.Siksnosparnyte brought the project to our attention over on Drawspace. She asked us to join in and help him out. Here is a link to the very cool drawing that Siksnos sent in.
Let's show Jørgen how amazing the internet is.
While I was at our Friday morning breakfast I had everybody including the waitress draw a giraffe on the menu. Then when I got home I had my teen age sons and their freinds add their own giraffes. We managed to send 21 giraffes to the project.
Check out his statistics page, it's pretty amazing. Anyone want to help this person get a million giraffes? Just go to his page and click on the green bar that says "Please send in your own giraffe!"

Although a third of delegates attending her workshop, "Teaching Pop Music at A-level", were already analysing phenomena such as Britpop with their students, most media studies teachers steer clear.
There is a belief that teenagers cannot be objective about "their" music, and a fear that teachers will feel old-fashioned and undermined by their students' knowledge of contemporary music. The music industry is also, famously, a closed shop: it's difficult to get information, and most books date quickly. For example, while the late 1980s and 1990s have witnessed a huge British pop revival, most of the books currently available still describe the industry as dying.
Scott gave delegates a whirlwind tour of a 13-week pop music course, with comprehensive lesson plans, and practical advice, such as how to obtain the pop "bible", The BPI Yearbook (Pounds 25 via 0171 287 4422). She starts the course by encouraging students to look more objectively at ideas of taste. They recreate their own "music history", and analyse family members' favourite tunes: "So many of them think you have good or bad taste." Students are surprised that they can identify songs from the Forties and Fifties as well as the Prodigy or Portishead.
She then looks in detail at the construction of pop groups' images: "Look at Michael Jackson or Madonna. It's essential to change if you want to survive. "
Delegates were privileged to see Noel and Liam Gallagher wearing MS shirts in the first Oasis video, shot for Pounds 15,000 by a friend in a back garden. This was then compared with a video made in America two years later, for Pounds 180,000, in which "new laddism" and the depressed, Mancunian backdrop, is replaced by views of swimming pools and girls.

– This is an edit, I thought I´d give you the story of my craftworld as a "listen to" video whilst you look at the pics. Here is the vid of me reading with a "ghost helm" on lmao.
(Click on the symbol in the upper right corner of the video, and then click on the tab "more" – opens video in another window!)
So far, the base colours on the wraithblades have been painted, only one of them have been highlighted in two areas; the head and the wraithvanes. I have to go back and clean up some models where I painted outside of intended area. The wraithlord has been highlighted in the purple areas with a coupple of thin layers, as well as his wraithvanes (highlighted only once with a thin layer). The head of the wraithlord is done, although it appears I have scratched the surface so there is a black dot on him, which I will have to do something about. Also the blue areas have been highlighted in a few thin layers, and some edge highlights as well. The sword has been painted in warplock bronze and I wanted to create the errosion effect to give it that ancient feel. Lots of work to be done to the WL still!
The Autarch is comming together really nicely. I wanted to give him a unique feel within the army as he will be the only one carrying the mantle of the laughing god. The idea being that he carries the entire palette of the craftworlds colours and takes on the role of almost a harlequin solitare. So I wanted to give him some extra bit of time and dedicate some more details to him. There are some gems which needs to be painted, the arms, the "phoenix gem" which I first painted red but I changed my mind and I´ve decided to go for a full pink heart instead. The forceshield on him is painted in gold, which I have mixed feelings about. I might change it around once the rest of the model is "complete".
The wraithblades will have their forceshields and axes slightly corroded/erroded as well, just to give that ancient feel.
The whole idea with this craftworld from the beginning was to have a mixed army of wraith units and fast units, as they both have different aestetics and I think it really makes the army interesting to look at when fielded. When it comes to playing a mixed army competitively it can be a bit tricky but I have found some good strategies, mostly relying on using units in a very specific and comitted way. I really enjoy playing the army composition as it is both challanging and rewarding (when done properly!)
Anyways, more to come, in the weekend I´m gonna start layering down the colour scheme on my WRAITHKNIGHT!
Helllsssss yess…..

Publication Type
Conference Paper
Publication Date
Given a high-dimensional dataset, a top-k query can be used to shortlist the k tuples that best match the user's preferences. Typically, these preferences regard a subset of the available dimensions (i.e., attributes) whose relative significance is expressed by user-specified weights. Along with the query result, we propose to compute for each involved dimension the maximal deviation to the corresponding weight for which the query result remains valid. The derived weight ranges, called immutable regions, are useful for performing sensitivity analysis, for finetuning the query weights, etc. In this paper, we focus on top-k queries with linear preference functions over the queried dimensions. We codify the conditions under which changes in a dimension's weight invalidate the query result, and develop algorithms to compute the immutable regions. In general, this entails the examination of numerous non-result tuples. To reduce processing time, we introduce a pruning technique and a thresholding mechanism that allow the immutable regions to be determined correctly after examining only a small number of non-result tuples. We demonstrate empirically that the two techniques combine well to form a robust and highly resource-efficient algorithm. We verify the generality of our findings using real high-dimensional data from different domains (documents, images, etc) and with different characteristics.

I am in the Pastoral ministry for last 35yrs in the great city of Mumbai a city with great contrast where richest of rich and the poores of poor live. We reach out to the poorest of poor with the love of Christ to bring healing to the broken hearted. We also encourage young people as well as adults from the West to come to Mumbai on a short / long term missions trip to work with us in the slums of Mumbai amongst poorest of poor during their vacation time.

CNN Makes Mistake Of Asking Fmr. Congresswoman Bachmann About Comey Firing

The foundational damage by the Democrat thugs to the Rule of Law and what precious remains of this Republic is incalculable. Frankly, I have scant hope Rule of Law and constitutional can EVER be restored. It was a great ride while the "American Experiment" lasted. Realists among us best look to our founders for a remedy to this national suicide. And we'd best do it quickly before we too become victims of this self-destruction.

Happy Birthday Phil…

"We know one another's faults, virtues, catastrophes, mortifications, triumphs, rivalries, desires, and how long we can hang by our hands to a bar. We have been banded together under pack codes, and tribal laws."– Rose Macaulay
Today my younger brother Phil is 56…5th of 7 kids in the Ambrose brood. He and I were those "middle"
kids that weren't part of the "Big kids" aka the Holy Trifecta. Rita, Mary Anne, and Tony came…Bam, Bam, Bam…a kid every year….and we weren't a "little kid" like Joe and Lorrie. So we always had that middle thing going that in a way bonded us.
I didn't feel the need to "mother" Phil like I did with Joe and Lorrie. I remember Phil being cute and every summer my vision of him was always shirtless, sweaty, and brown as a berry. I will admit…it pissed me off that he had this beautiful tanned skin and I was walking around in full armour of tees shirts over my swimsuit to protect my pasty fair skin… I some how managed to get a burn through the tee shirt too. I just hoped that just once he know the agony of trying to sleep with Noxema rubbed all over a sunburned back… all the while shivering in a 100 degree bedroom. hah
I was always fascinated by Phil's imagination. He would play for hours in the sandbox with his army men and little cars. He would have his own world going in the sand and his mind. He could be content playing alone or trying to stay up with his brother Tony. Poor kid… I think I remember Tony and Billy ( the neighbor kid) tying Phil's hands and legs down and collecting ants and dumping the collection of ants all over him. I think maybe they had watched too many Tarzan movies. I think Phil was always hoping Tarzan would come save him for the "warriors"
Phil was a kid that always had to get the last word in…I tried to tell him to just shut his trap or he was going to get his ass in big trouble…but he never learned and was usually in some sort of hot water for "sassing" back. Dahh I tried to tell him.
Phil was never really tall or big but over the course of his freshman and sophmore year of high school he shot up to 6′ 3″ and was quite an athlete that earned him a full ride to play football at the University of Iowa. We were all very proud. I came home to visit and go to one of his games his first season. That fateful day…He injured his knee that ended his football career before it really had a chance to start. Needless to say he was devastated. He didn't let that stop him from continuing on with his education and his love of sports. He chose to be a teacher and coach…taking after our Dad.
He is married with 3 on the most incredibly, brilliant, athletic and lovely daughters. It has been fun to watch him take joy watching and guiding them through life, sports, education….and his MOST difficult part of being the father of 3 daughters…BOYS! hah I reassure him that he and Lisa have done a great job raising Hannah, Emma and Grace. Relax and enjoy!
He is a good man that has battled back from adversity to help guide many a kid as a teacher, coach and now Principal. Ray and Vera are looking down smiling upon you today Phil. Thanks for being an odd ball loner middle kid with me. I love you.

Since the earliest days of astronomy, since the time of Galileo, astronomers have shared a single goal — to see more, see farther, see deeper. The Hubble Space Telescope"s launch in 1990 sped humanity to one of its greatest advances in that journey. Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth. Its position above the atmosphere, which distorts and blocks the light that reaches our planet, gives it a view of the universe that typically far surpasses that of ground-based telescopes. Hubble is one of NASA"s most successful and long-lasting science missions. It has beamed hundreds of thousands of images back to Earth, shedding light on many of the great mysteries of astronomy. Its gaze has helped determine the age of the universe, the identity of quasars, and the existence of dark energy.

A Tradition to Savour
Singapore, November 2014 – In a culinary tribute to Shogatsu (Japanese New Year), Keyaki presents an authentic New Year Kaiseki crafted from the finest seasonal ingredients imported from Japan. To celebrate an auspicious beginning, Chef Hiroshi Ishii designed this eight-course menu around two culinary focal points, the traditional osechi-ryori and ozouni mochi soup. Available for New Year's Eve Dinner on 31 December 2014, and New Year's Lunch and Dinner from 1 to 3 January 2015, the New Year Kaiseki menu is priced at $190.
With a history that dates back to the classic Heian era (794 to 1185), Osechi-ryori is an enduring culinary craft customarily served during the New Year in ornate lacquered boxes or on exquisite porcelain ware. Chef Ishii presents this traditional medley of appetisers with authentic ingredients selected for their enticing flavours and symbolic significance; conveying a delectable epicurean message of auspicious beginnings, good health and prosperity to all. Highlights from the Osechi-ryori presentation include Ise Ebi (Lobster salad), for a luxurious beginning to the New Year; Kuro-mame (Black beans), for good health and hard work; and Bodara (Grilled Cod with Miso), for a rich and abundant culinary journey.
For the final savoury course, guests are invited to enjoy authentic ozouni, a heart-warming soup that symbolises strength and prosperity. This dish features mochi rice cakes enhanced with light and refreshing ingredients such as Fish Cake, Shiitake Mushrooms, Chicken and Yuzu, simmered in Keyaki's homemade dashi stock.
Apart from osechi-ryori and ozouni, seafood features prominently on the menu as the cold winter waters allow the fish and crustacean to develop a tender layer of fat, while the flesh remains sweet and firm. Highlights include Grilled King Crab with Spicy Cod Roe, Prawn coated with Egg and Mountain Caviar, Chawanmushi with Salmon Roe, Sushi and Sashimi.
"The Japanese New Year is one of the most celebrated festivals in Japan, where family and loved ones gather to bid farewell to the past year and welcome the New Year. I wanted to celebrate this by bringing the culinary aspect of the celebrations to Keyaki. I selected fresh seasonal produce for their symbolic significance to convey an auspicious message and well-wishes to all our guests." Said Chef Ishii.
Ise Ebi (Lobster salad) – A luxurious beginning to the New Year
Yakizakana (Grilled Cod) – A successful career
Kuro-mame (Black Beans) – Good health and hard work
Kazunoko (Herring Roe) – An abundant harvest, and to be gifted with numerous children
Kamboko (Boiled Egg with Red and White Fish Cake) – The red and white colour are reminiscent of the Japanese rising sun, symbolising festive celebrations
Datemaki (Rolled Sweet Egg Omelette) – Scholarship and culture
Bodara (Grilled Cod with Miso) – A rich and abundant culinary journey;
Shin Takenoko Fukumeni (Bamboo Shoot) – Accelerated prosperity and growth
