Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Ethan Hawke, Amy Adams, and Ellen Burstyn have paid their respects to Philip Seymour Hoffman, an actor widely considered among the best of his generation. Hoffman's private funeral was held Friday in Manhattan. It ended with pallbearers bringing the coffin out of the church and putting it back in the hearse.
The list of mourners also included Michelle Williams, Julianne Moore, Joaquin Phoenix, Louis C.K., Mary Louise Parker, John Slattery, Jerry Stiller, Marisa Tomei, Spike Lee, and Diane Sawyer and her director husband, Mike Nichols.
Hoffman, 46, was found dead Sunday of an apparent heroin overdose in his apartment. He leaves behind his partner of 15 years, Mimi O'Donnell, and their three children.
The actor's body was carried into the church by pallbearers and O'Donnell — holding their youngest child — followed. Playwright David Bar Katz, who found Hoffman's body, looked visibly upset as he arrived.
The ceremony was held at the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola, the same limestone church that hosted the funerals of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Lena Horne, and Aaliyah. The 1898 Baroque-style marble interior is reminiscent of a Roman basilica.
A larger memorial service is being planned for later this month. On Thursday evening, family and close friends gathered for a private wake at the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Home in Manhattan.
The rumpled, heavy-set Hoffman was known to dive into roles and was nominated for Academy Awards four times: for Capote, The Master, Doubt, and Charlie Wilson's War. He also received three Tony nominations for his work on Broadway, which included an acclaimed turn in 2012 as the weary and defeated Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman.
The theater community mourned the actor Wednesday with a candlelit vigil outside his beloved LAByrinth Theatre Company downtown and with Broadway's marquee lights turned off for a minute.
More tests are needed to determine what exactly killed Hoffman, who was found with a syringe in his arm and what authorities said were dozens of packets of heroin in his apartment. Autopsy results were inconclusive, authorities said this week.
Hoffman spoke candidly over the years about past struggles with drug addiction. After 23 years sober, the versatile actor reportedly checked himself into rehab for 10 days last year after relapsing in 2012.
Amid an investigation into Hoffman's death, three people have been arraigned on drug charges, including one who is facing a felony charge of heroin possession with intent to sell. Lawyers for the three people charged vigorously denied their clients had any role in Hoffman's death.
Most of those who attended the funeral had personal ties to Hoffman. He and Blanchett co-starred in The Talented Mr. Ripley, and Hoffman starred in Lee's The 25th Hour. Burstyn and Hoffman were in Red Dragon, and Hawke co-starred with Hoffman in Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. Slattery directed Hoffman in his new film God's Pocket, and Nichols directed Hoffman on Broadway in Death of a Salesman. Phoenix shared the screen with Hoffman in The Master.

Baskind is the fourth first team Academic All-American in program history (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – One day after being tabbed the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Association's Div. I Scholar-Athlete of the Year, Melanie Baskind has been named to the Capital One Academic All-America Women's At-Large first team.
Baskind is now the fourth student-athlete in program history to be named a first team Academic All-American, following Katie McAnaney '89, Chris Shortsleeve '97 and Alli Harper '01, and is just the fifth Academic All-American in program history. She was also named first team Academic All-America this fall in women's soccer and was a second team pick in 2010.
Baskind led the Crimson in points (33), assists (6) and caused turnovers (15) this spring while guiding the women's lacrosse team to its second straight appearance in the Ivy League Tournament. She also ranked second in goals (27) and ground balls (37). For her efforts, she was named to the Capital One Academic All-District first team, IWLCA All-Region second team, All-Ivy League second team, Ivy League All-Tournament Team and earned three Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week honors. Baskind finished her career as a three-time all-region selection, a three-time All-Ivy honoree and was named to the 2011 Academic All-Ivy League team.
On the soccer pitch, Baskind led Harvard to its third Ivy League Championship in four years and capped her career off as the unanimous choice for Ivy League Player of the Year. She was also named the conference's Rookie of the Year as a freshman, earned four All-Ivy selections, was a two-time all-region selection, a three-time Academic All-Ivy pick and was twice named an Academic All-American. She ranks sixth in program history in career points (79), sixth in assists (25) and seventh in goals (27).
A neurobiology concentrator with a secondary concentration in global health and health policy, Baskind graduated this spring with a 3.756 GPA. She received the Mary G. Paget Prize at last month's Senior Letterwinners Dinner for her impact on Harvard Athletics over her four-year career, and was also awarded the Francis H. Burr '09 Fund Prize and a Benjamin Trustman Fellowship from the University.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Primary sources are firsthand evidence and artifacts of the past. They may include letters, photographs, maps, government documents, diaries, oral accounts, pamphlets, or leaflets. Some may be published, others not. Read attentively, they can give us multiple perspectives on history and open up a vast array of issues and concerns.
Historians read primary sources skeptically and critically. Typically, they consider where, when, and why something was created. This is called the "time and place rule." And they look for bias, considering what the document's author thought happened and how it compares with other documents or artifacts of the period. This is called the "bias rule."
Print out the following questions* and use them to guide your reading of the primary source documents included in the workshop series:
1. Who created the source and why? Was it created through a spur-of-the-moment act, a routine transaction, or a thoughtful, deliberate process?
2. Did the creator have firsthand knowledge of the event, or did the creator report what others saw and heard?
3. Was the creator a neutral party, or did the creator have opinions or interests that might have influenced what was recorded?
4. Did the creator produce the source for personal use, for one or more individuals, or for a large audience?
5. Was the source meant to be public or private?
6. Did the creator wish to inform or persuade others? (Check the words in the source. The words may tell you whether the creator was trying to be objective or persuasive.) Did the creator have reasons to be honest or dishonest?
7. Was the information recorded during the event, immediately after the event, or after some lapse of time? How large a lapse of time?
When you review visual images, print out the following questions* to guide you:
1. What was the creator's purpose?
2. Why this pose, perspective, and framing?
3. Why this subject?
4. What objects were included and excluded? What clues do they provide about the conditions and attitudes of the day?

Buffalo Wild Wings In March Madness Mood As Official Partner Of NCAA Tournament
By Barry Janoff
February 26, 2013: Buffalo Wild Wings, entering its first season as an official marketing partner of the NCAA, is launching a full-court press marketing campaign aimed at March Madness and the upcoming men's and women's Div. 1 basketball tournaments.
The effort is anchored by TV commercials and a social media element, in conjunction with Coca-Cola Zero, featuring a "Big Shot Challenge" contest offering a trip to the 2014 men's Final Four, which will be held in Arlington, Texas.
This year's men's Final Four will be played April 6 and April 8 in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. The women's Final Four will be played April 7 and April 9 in the New Orleans Arena.
The campaign supports Buffalo Wild Wings' claim that March Madness is its second busiest time of year, behind the Super Bowl. In a nod to previous campaigns, the two spots show Buffalo Wild Wings staffers going to unusual lengths to extend games so that customers can extend their stay.
According to the Minneapolis-based casual dining chain, customers "ate nearly 70 million traditional and boneless wings" during the 2012 NCAA basketball men's and women's tournaments.
Buffalo Wild Wings' deal with the NCAA, signed last month, designates it as the "official hangout of March Madness," and includes marketing, media and activation rights related to all 89 NCAA championships through 2016.
"There's just so much energy around the NCAA Tournament," Kathy Benning, Buffalo Wild Wings evp-global brand and business development, said in a statement. "We love that we've become the destination for fans across the country to share in that excitement. With our social atmosphere and every game on our wall-to-wall flat screen TVs, Buffalo Wild Wings is the closest thing to the action on the court."
In addition to the TV spots, the new campaign includes social media such as Twitter, YouTube and Facebook; and an online and mobile pop-a-shot game that "uses a new augmented reality technology that enhances the game when played in our restaurants," according to Buffalo Wild Wings.
The app is part of a contest, running now through April 8, in which people earn points each time they play either online or via their mobile device. Each week, players with the top 50 scores will earn a $25 Buffalo Wild Wings gift card. The player with the most points at the end of the promotional period earns the trip next year to Arlington. (Full details here.)
The "Big Shot Challenge" destination also includes a March Madness "bracketology" element that goes live and will be updated after Selection Sunday on March 17, when the 68 schools will be selected for the upcoming men's tournament. The Tournament begins March 19-20 with the NCAA First Four.
In "Expanded," a couple watching basketball at Buffalo Wild Wings get their wish of a longer tournament when a restaurant employee pushes a "Twilight Zone' type remote and a TV sportscaster exclaims, "This just in . . . the Tournament has been expanded to 256 teams. What does this mean!!?"
In the commercial, it means that the Fighting Snails, a team that barely seems to know what a basketball is, is now in the Big Dance. (See the full spot here.)
Editor's Note: In real life, the University of West Florida (Pensacola) official mascot is the Argonaut, but the team is affectionally called the "Fighting Snails" by students. The UWF men's hoops team plays in the Gulf Coast Conference in Div. II.
The second spot, 'Slo-Mo," customers who want games to last longer suddenly find that everything is played in slow motion, including fast breaks and eatting chicken wings. (See the full spot here.)
"We're always looking for new ways to bring that sports experience to life in our restaurants," Benning said. "This year, it was our TV spots that seemed to come to life during games, most notably during the biggest football game of the year, and our passionate fans were quick to point out the coincidence. Our new TV spots are the next evolution of that concept, and they are a key element of an overall campaign that we hope will entertain our Guests and create a great March Madness experience in our restaurants."
Buffalo Wild Wings' competitor, Hooters, this week also launched a campaign in anticipation of March Madness. Hooters is not an official NCAA partner and, as such, is not allowed to use such NCAA trademarked terms as Final Four, Selection Sunday, Big Dance or March Madness.

Frequently asked questions
How can GoDaddy help me get my shop online?
Building an ecommerce store can be seem intimidating, but if you're thinking about selling a product or service all you'll need to do is add your product or service to your store, verify your payment method, and decide how you want to ship your products. Once you've done this you'll be ready to sell your products or services. You will be able to add or remove things you've added whenever you want to, and republish your site.
If you change your mind about the design that you've selected, you can edit it whenever you'd like. You can change a section or page to your ecommerce website, change your photos, and update your style text. Online Store was created with the intent that you can make it yours; and alter it as often as you or your business needs change. Remember your Online Store will be mobile friendly, so whether you're making changes to your site, or have a customer making a purchase on their mobile device, everyone will have a seamless mobile-optimized experience.
How do I sell products or services in my store?You only need to add one product or service before publishing your site for the first time, and generally it's better to get your site online as soon as possible. If you're having a tough time getting started, or you need the extra push to get your goods online, you won't have to worry about complicated website tech--Online Store is easy to use. After you've published once you can update your payment and shipping methods. The default shipping method will be free shipping, which you'll want to change if you are selling anything other than services, and need your customers to compensate you for shipping costs.
How do I ship products to my customers, and what are my options for shipping methods?You have several options. With Online Store you can ship using a flat rate per order, which is sometimes easier for everyone, or pick weight-based shipping--which charges different amounts based on how much an order weighs. The option is up to you on how you want to ship your products, but we've provided several options to make your ecommerce website what you want it to be.
Can GoDaddy help make my site secure?We've got you covered. You're going to spend some time and hard work creating your ecommerce website and we want to help your website remain safe and secure. It's important to note that no website is too small to get hacked, and if you're creating an Online Store you want to keep not only your website secure, but also provide security for your customers as they make purchases in your store. Your Online Store product is going to come already protected with a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), so it won't be an additional cost on you or your business to keep your website safe.
Can I connect my social media accounts to my Online Store?You absolutely can, and you should! You'll want to build a strong online presence so you can reach your customers wherever they are, and get them to go to your Online Store. You can link to your Facebook page, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and YouTube account. Connecting all of your social media tools gives your customers a cohesive experience. They can follow you however they like, comment on your store and products, and easily find out where they can purchase your awesome products. So make sure you're linking your new ecommerce website to your social media pages as well!

Obama Administration Reportedly Plans to Create Internet ID for All Americans
President Obama is putting plans in motion to give the Commerce Department authority to create an Internet ID for all Americans, a White House official told CNET.com.
White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt told the website it is "the absolute perfect spot in the U.S. government" to centralize efforts toward creating an "identity ecosystem" for the Internet.
The National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace is currently being drafted by the Obama administration and will be released by the president in a few months.
"We are not talking about a national ID card. We are not talking about a government-controlled system. What we are talking about is enhancing online security and privacy, and reducing and perhaps even eliminating the need to memorize a dozen passwords, through creation and use of more trusted digital identities," Commerce Secretary Gary Locke said at an event Friday at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research, according to CNET.com.
Locke added that the Commerce Department will be setting up a national program office to work on this project.
The move has raised eyebrows about privacy issues.
"The government cannot create that identity infrastructure," Jim Dempsey of the Center for Democracy and Technology told the website. "If I tried to, I wouldn't be trusted."
Schmidt stresses that anonymity will remain on the Internet, saying there's no chance that "a centralized database will emerge."

In today's world, data is, literally, everywhere. It's generated every time you go shopping, browse the internet, or even make a phone call. Nearly everything you do creates data. The data you created can be used as a product to make calculated recommendations for daily activities. As an individual, you create tons of data with every card swiped, button pushed, or browser clicked. All that information is the foundation of what many refer to as "big data."
Big data is the basis for business intelligence, which is about taking all that information and turning it into knowledge to drive better business decisions. Whether its data about retail consumers or homebuyers, it's all the same.
The real estate industry today is just evolving from spreadsheets and simple reports. While useful, they're so 1980s. Right now, we're on the edge of a rapid evolution. The real estate sector is very much exposed to the impact of data. Businesses and real estate investors are more aware of the risks involved and endeavour to make smarter business decisions.
There are several data sets that can have a major impact on both business and government decisions. One of these is having access to accurate data on interest rates. Interest rates greatly affect the real estate markets as changes in this can significantly influence a person's ability to purchase property. As interest rates fall, the cost to obtain a mortgage to buy a home decreases. This in turn creates a higher demand for real estate, and pushes prices higher. Conversely, as interest rates rise, the cost to obtain a mortgage increases, thus lowering the demand and prices of real estate. Additionally interest rates play a role in the equity markets. When looking at the impact of interest rates on an equity investment such as a real estate investment trust (REIT), rather than on residential real estate, the relationship is similar to other investment modules such as bonds. When interest rates decline, the value of a bond goes up because its value becomes more desirable, and when interest rates increase, the value of bonds decrease.
In context, the presence of data itself is not the main issue. The real magic happens with data analysis. Understanding how for example data on demographics can provide the composition of a population, by age, race, gender, income, migration patterns and population growth can be extremely powerful for business and government decision making. Whereby decisions such as; where next should the next power-plant be located, or even where investors should locate retail malls or even ATM centres for banks. These decisions are driven by population demographics data. As is very often the case, these statistics are often overlooked but are a significant factor that affects how real estate is priced and what types of properties are in demand. Major shifts in the demographics of a nation can have a large impact on real estate trends for several decades.
Recently JLL using technological innovation has developed and launched a data analytics platform known as Real Estate Database (RED). JLL's new global data and insights platform connects data, technology and people to reach new levels of productivity in corporate real estate. RED brings together master data governance, knowledge management, business intelligence and advanced analytics, underpinned by cutting-edge technologies and tools to dramatically improve real estate decision making. The RED platform is designed to integrate Corporate Real Estate (CRE) data with sales, workforce, finance, economic and other business data to offer a holistic view of a corporation's business and macroeconomic environment. Its open architecture enables a company to integrate data from almost any source and rapidly visualize the results through interactive dashboards, offering greater transparency and ultimately, actionable insights to improve operational efficiency. The platform has been successfully utilised by a leading financial institution in Nigeria to make smart business decisions for their Abuja portfolio such as:
- Creating cost-benefit analyses for different expansion scenarios, such as relocation versus renovation or expansion. This predictive capability is informed not only by real estate data, but also by labour costs and active accounts, balance sheet total, head count, savings potential and more;
- Expansion of their catchment areas and scenario recommendations;
- Analysing branch/property categorisation
- Determining which corporate locations are more productive than others.
RED has helped the client optimise their portfolio by identifying the ideal scenarios that support their business growth strategy.
Data can be used to create tangible insights into consumer behaviour by research, forecasting and data analysis. Analysing the data to gain insight into micro and macro environment will have profound impact on an organisation's portfolio and real sector. With this tool, organisations are better positioned to not only be reactive and predictive, but also be proactive, a key skill in an ever changing and competitive business environment.
As big data is used more, investors or agents who put the analysis into practice will see revenue rise, costs drop and market share increase. Those agents or clients will squeeze out those who ignore the data and tools (or fear them). The real estate industry is expected to be part of this evolution towards advanced corporate practices in the use of customer and business information.

Someone should have misdirected the cowboys and lead them to Beijing tbh
Quote from: gamerfan09 on February 25, 2014, 05:01:06 AMSomeone should have misdirected the cowboys and lead them to Beijing tbh Did the cowboys get any help this leg? Can't remember. lol
For me the luck task at Canton Tower was somewhat disappointing because I was expecting that if you find a clue in the bubble you take it instead of letting other teams go in to the same one that was used. I don't blame the teams that did that strategy at all, I would of done it myself but I think it wasn't the task I was expecting.
I have to disagree about TAR24 Leg 1.Finding the proper wedding store was not a statement of luck. Teams needed to pay attention to their surroundings, find out directions from locals, and seek out these locations to get their clue. There was plenty of shuffling of teams because lots of teams weren't paying enough attention.Teams were not told to go to the Canton Tower. They were given a cryptic clue. Lots of people have been missing these, so here they are again. It leaves it up to teams to figure out where to go next, instead of just leading them there.The ferris wheel challenge did have an element of luck, but only partially. This task tested two skills for team members. Firstly, it tested whether they could use an efficient logical approach to answer a question they didn't have an answer to. (Which bubbles have a clue? Well, if this one is wrong we will try the next one. That way we won't have to wait for the one we pick to go all the way around <- This way of thinking is rewarded since every other bubble had a clue). Additionally, it taught teams to be perceptive. Though it's a nice view, sharp-minded teams would not be spending their ride in an "incorrect" bubble just standing there. They would be looking to see which teams had been successful. They would use this to deduce that even bubbles had the clue. This was the twinnies' downfall.The only thing I do dislike is the Roadblock. No argument there.And though it ultimately did not end up happening, the trip to the Pit Stop had potential to shuffle some teams. They were told to travel on foot, but weren't told that the opera house was basically across the street from the stadium. Teams could've not done a spot check and ended up walking miles away.
TAR23's and TAR24's leg ones have problems. I'm too lazy to enumerate them, but TAR better make things better for TAR25. When I finished watching TAR24's 1st episode, I was craving for more TAR24. Then I wished that this should've been a 90-min premiere or a 2-hr premiere. I missed those 90-or-120-minute premieres.
(...)Stop babying teams, especially all-stars, with tasks that don't challenge each skillset during that opening leg (i.e. there should be something with strength, something with navigation, something with intelligence, and something luck related.)

Revision as of 09:09, 8 April 2008
|Wishes warning! This article or section documents one or more OpenMoko Wish List items, the features described here may or may not be implemented in the future.
This is a brief page describing a web proxy optimised for use on devices with a reasonable amount of persistant storage, and very limited bandwidth.
Once, each page linked to a subpage of contents, which remained static, and could be easily refreshed if it changed based on dates in the HTTP headers.
Now, this is the case in the minority of popular sites. Most sites now have a substantial fraction of pages with some non-static contents.
As an example of this, for example consider http://www.ebay.com/index.html.
Over a 15 minute period, the size was constant at around 66K, and it was different most times it was loaded.
Simply compressing this page using advanced compression techniques provides a useful compression - taking the page to 15K.
A very simple test, using diff and gzip however, revealed that the variation between pages is quite small.
This means that if the user clicks 'reload', if the proxy simply compresses the page, the user needs to download 15K.
If, however, the user-agent and the proxy act in concert, this can be reduced to under 0.5K. (split on "<", count the compressed differences).
This is done by the user-agent caching the pages it downloads, then informing the proxy of which version of the page it has.
The proxy then simply sends the compressed differences between the previous and current version.
improvement: it would be better NOT to modify the client, but instead have a 'reassembly proxy' on the client, so that all http clients/user agents benefit without hacks. The reassembly proxy could then inject a cookie to keep track of page versions.
Other optimisations:
- Comparing pages, and ensuring that any page has in fact changed before downloading, as many servers misreport pages changed when they have not.
- Convert all jpegs to progressive, and initially only download the first 'scan' of the image, which is 1/8th the size or so. Allow the user to download the remainder of the file for full resolution by clicking on it.

The holiday spirit is going viral in Chicago thanks to a cover of Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas" by the city's Gay Hockey Association.
The players took to the ice last month in red jerseys and Santa hats to tape a music video complete with the team's own recording of the popular tune. The result exudes a heart-warming reminder of acceptance with a catchy, singing-in-the-shower quality that keeps the song in your head all day.
"Please take a moment to reflect on the real meaning of this project," the team posted to Facebook. "It's a lot deeper than you might expect. Embrace one another for our differences and have some fun!"
People took notice. The YouTube video was watched more than 10,000 times in the first 24 hours, and since the Nov. 28 debut, its popularity has skyrocketed.
Members of the Chicago Gay Hockey Association made the rounds on local TV stations and have been quoted in national outlets like Sports Illustrated. The video got a mention on comedian Daniel Tosh's Tosh.0 blog and even writer Dan Savage gave it a hat-tip on Twitter: "Another way the gay community 'out-markets' the Catholic Church (per Dolan): our viral videos are way more fun."
There's no arguing the video's booty-shaking, head-bobbing fun, but for the team, it's all about a message of acceptance.
Stephen Leonard, who produced and directed the video, told GoPride.com it captures the spirit of the team. "We're all about having fun and inviting others to do the same, both on and off the ice," Leonard said.
That's the theme of the note the team left on its video, which as of Thursday afternoon had 80,000 views.
"We want you to put aside your differences. And to spend some time getting closer to your family and friends. If you take a step back and look, you may surprise yourself with how much you have in common with people. The person next to you on the train could become your best friend. After all, aren't we all just looking for love? Don't forget to laugh a little. And sing a little. Happy Holidays y'all!"

The ministry has informed individual developers of the schedule and hopes to make public the project list in the near future.
The schedule sets a new target of 23 GW by 2012, beyond the 20.15 GW previously set for 2010. National wind association Asociacion Empresarial Eolica (AEE) says this reignites the country's wind market after restrictions on eligibility for the existing incentive last year caused a six-month freeze in new capacity.
Future still uncertain
But, with no targets or support beyond 2012, the future is unclear. For the sector to reach the EU's 20% renewables target, 40-44 GW of cumulative wind capacity is needed to 2020, making longer-term direction vital, says AEE president Jose Donoso.
In May, the industry ministry passed a decree requiring central-government approval for new projects not yet registered as fully operational in order to be eligible for production incentives. With over 17 GW online by then, the aim was to prevent regional governments, which were previously responsible for licensing, from allowing runaway development beyond 2010.
With the support mechanism after 2012 expected to pay far less, a developer rush caused a 14 GW bottleneck. The 6 GW allocation covers less than half of these applications, and AEE is lobbying for government assurances for the rest in order to keep investors on board.
There are also wind projects under construction and online that are not yet approved by central government. AEE is pushing hard to free up that capacity, and has received appeals from several of the affected developers, says communications chief Sergio de Otto.
Meanwhile, AEE is conducting a survey as to what extent the beefed-up allocation will trigger factories to produce new turbines rather than using units stockpiled during the six-month freeze. "There are as many knowns as unknowns right now, but we should have a clear idea of the status quo early in the new year," says De Otto.

Most American Jews love to mark the end of the Yom Kippur fast with a spread of smoked fish, lox, whitefish, herring, and of course bagels and coffee.
In this spirit, last year I had posted a recipe for a simple fish with raisins, which is served in several Italian communities on the same occasion. However, this year I couldn't resist sharing with you a more elaborate option, one of my favorites: Fish "in Saor".
"Saor" means "flavor", in our dialect, and indeed this sweet-and-sour preparation bursts with such flavor that over the centuries it has become THE signature dish of Venice: it's served as "cicheti' (tapas) in the many osterias, and as hoers d'oeuvres in the finest restaurants, or passed from boat to boat under the fireworks at the traditional Redentore festival in July.
Many Italians believe that the raisins and pine nuts in savory dishes (as in our stewed carrots, or our spinach frittata for Passover, and dishes with salt cod) always betray Jewish origins. However, Saor was known in Venice long before the expulsion of Jews from Spain, Portugal and Southern Italy, as witnessed by a recipe in the Libro per Cuoco, compiled by an anonymous Venetian at the end of the 14th century. Obviously it's still possible that the recipe was introduced by some Jews who passed through venice before the expulsion, but it's not the only explanation.
Venice after the Crusades (1069-1270) had become the most prosperous city in Europe thanks to international commerce. At the peak of its power, it had more than 3,300 ships: the merchants would bring spices from India and China, olive oil from Southern Italy and Greece, sugar from Sicily, unusual fruit from North Africa, and Venetians in general were experimenting with culinary "fusion" like nobody else in Italy or Europe!
The fact that it made fish last for weeks without refrigeration made the Saor a huge hit with the Venetian merchants/mariners, who spent months at a time at sea. As to the Jews, they might have known it from the countries they had to leave, and may have contributed to its increasing popularity in Venice. Besides featuring some of their favorite ingredients, Saor could be made in advance and eaten cold for Shabbat and the holidays!
- 2 lb. large sardines, OR small soles; scaled, cleaned, gutted (heads off! 🙂
- salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 3/4 cup olive oil for the marinade
- more olive oil for frying
- 2 lb. white onion, sliced thin
- 1/2 cup white wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
Ask your fishmonger to wash the sardines (or soles) accurately, gut them, scale them, take the heads off. At home, rinse them in fresh water and lay them well on paper towel.
Soak the raisins in the wine for at least 30 minutes. Heat oil in a 4-qt. pan over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook until browned, 10–12 minutes. Add vinegar, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until soft, 6–8 minutes. Stir in raisins, nuts, and salt and pepper; let cool.
Drench the sardines in flour (I do this by placing flour in a plastic bag. I add the fillets and shake the bag), and fry them in hot oil for about 3 minutes or until slightly golden. Drain them well on paper towel and salt them.
When both the fish fillets and the onion marinade have cooled off, start layering them in a serving pan: start with a layer of onions, then a layer of fish), then again onions, fish, etc to end with the onions.
Seal with plastic wrap or foil, and refrigerate for al least 1 or 2 days before eating. It actually tastes even better before 4 or 5 days, and I'm told that with this preparation you could even forgo the refrigeration……

Donald Trump's transition team continued to fill out their list of potential cabinet picks, many of whom are part of the establishment, or, in Trump's words, part of the swamp that he promised to drain, NBC News reported.
Sources told NBC News that Texas Rep. Mike McCaul, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, is being considered for Secretary of Homeland Security; former Michigan Rep. Mike Rogers, a past chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, is on the list for Director of the CIA; while Texas Rep. Jeb Hensarling, chairman of the Financial Services Committee, is in the mix for Treasury Secretary.
One of the more unexpected names to come up Thursday was JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon. Dimon's chief of staff confirmed to NBC News that, though Trump has had no formal conversation with him, some of Trump's senior advisers have told Dimon he would make an "excellent" Treasury Secretary.

A list of book releases compiled by Dr. Dobb's to keep you up-to-date on parallel programming and multicore technology.
.NET Multithreading
by Alan Dennis
With .NET you can develop stable and robust multithreaded applications with minimal effort. .NET Multithreading teaches the basics in an understandable and practical way. It then focuses on .NET's mechanisms for multithreading and shows how easy it can be to develop applications with them. The book covers several design approaches such as one-thread-one-class, the asynchronous design pattern, and using queues as buffers between threads. It explains best practices and how to avoid common multithreading pitfalls such as deadlock and race conditions. This book is written for intermediate .NET developers who know C# or VB .NET, but are not assumed to have a background in multithreading. It is rich in examples that will help you understand the subject and produce multithreaded applications that have the power of C++ while keeping the ease and reliability of .NET.
Concurrent Programming in ML
by John H. Reppy
This book focuses on the practical use of concurrency to implement naturally concurrent applications. In addition to a tutorial introduction to programming in Concurrent ML (CML), the book presents three extended examples using CML for practical systems programming: a parallel software build system, a simple concurrent window manager, and an implementation of distributed tuple spaces. CML, which is included as part of the SML of New Jersey (SML/NJ) distribution, combines the best features of concurrent programming and functional programming. This book also illustrates advanced SML programming techniques, and includes a chapter on the implementation of concurrency using features provided by the SML/NJ system. It will be of interest to programmers, students, and professional researchers working in computer language development.
TestFrame: An Approach to Structured Testing
by Chris C. Schotanus
Over 12 years ago, Logica started the development of TestFrame, a test method which enables organizations to develop and execute their tests in a structured way. Since then. many new techniques have been developed, such as, most recently, "Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs)" or "Software as a Service (SaaS)," requiring updates to test procedures and processes that seemed well-established. These trends have prompted Logica to update and renew the TestFrame method. Chris Schotanus' new book takes into account the recent developments and his presentation is focused on supporting daily test practice. Every step within this structured test method is dealt with exhaustively, providing the reader with the necessary details for successful software testing. Yet his book will not only help test personnel to improve effectivity, it will also serve as a way to improve efficiency through its strong focus on reuse. This makes TestFrame the practical guide to testing information systems for everyone involved in software testing -- test developers, test managers, and staff charged with quality assurance.

A failure of Comcast's Internet broadband service hit a wide swath of the eastern U.S. on Sunday, and the company said the issue was a problem with its DNS servers.
A Comcast service Twitter account, @ComcastWill, acknowledged the problem — widely reported across Twitter — and reported that engineers were working to correct the problem. Many customers were trying to get around the outage by changing their DNS settings. Google has a help page on how to do that.
At 10:20 p.m. ET, ComcastWill reported: "Engineers still working to resolve, unfortunately i do not have an ETA for the issue at this time."
It was not clear how widespread the failure was. Earlier reports suggested there were connection problems in the greater Boston region. The Baltimore Sun reported that Comcast service was out in Maryland.

Just over a decade ago, Israelis and Palestinians met at Camp David. The weeks leading to the summit were full of expectation. There was a sense that an agreement was within reach. It was the last summer of the Clinton administration, and everyone thought that the president of the United States would not convene a summit that would lead to anything short of a historic triumph. So determined, it seemed, was everyone to succeed, that success almost seemed predetermined. And indeed, some even believed that an agreement had already been secretly reached – that it was a done deal. Peace, it seemed, was at hand.
But this, as it turned out, was not the case. Instead, the Camp David summit of July 2000 came to be one of the most tragic milestones of the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians. It was a particularly ironic tragedy, for the gap between expectations and results could not have been greater.
The reasons for the summit's failure are complex and will probably remain in dispute. But the failure was real and the frustration was felt by everyone. It was felt particularly acutely by those of us members of the negotiating teams at Camp David and the too-brief round of talks that followed at Taba, Egypt.
Particularly frustrating was an emerging narrative that saw our failure as a sign that the very conflict was insoluble. Someone had to prove that this was not the case. And so, in a meeting with Palestine Liberation Organization Executive Committee member Yasser Abed Rabbo, I suggested that we continue the work that was interrupted in Taba until we could conclude an agreement. Frustrated as we were, we were determined to demonstrate to both Israelis and Palestinians that despite the disappointment, despite the violence, peace was possible.
Our work was not easy – not only because of the essence of what we had set out to do, but also because of the conditions under which we worked. The violence that erupted in the wake of the failed Camp David summit led to roadblocks and closures and restrictions on travel that made a meeting itself nearly impossible. Sometimes we had to meet abroad because meeting at home was not possible. Other times we could only meet at a checkpoint and hold our discussions in a car. The contrast between the backdrop to our work (violence and crisis) and the center of our work (a comprehensive permanent-status peace agreement) could not have been greater.
To support our effort, we built broad coalitions. On the Israeli side, we brought in a number of individuals from the heart of the establishment, including former senior military officers. On the Palestinian side we brought in officials from Fatah, parliamentarians, and leading academics. In 2003, after almost three years of hard work, our negotiating teams concluded the detailed draft agreement that has since been named the Geneva Initiative.
How the agreement works
Our proposal details what a credible, negotiated Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement could look like. It addresses all the major issues between the parties, including security arrangements, the status of Jerusalem, access to holy places, and a just and agreed-upon solution to the problem of refugees.
And, of course, it addresses the contours of permanent borders and the future of West Bank settlements. In this, it draws heavily on the ideas presented to us by President Clinton. With pre-1967 lines (the Green Line) as our starting point, we devised a series of agreed-upon, minor land swaps on a reciprocal, one-to-one basis, according to a formula that would require Israel to evacuate the smallest number of settlements while granting Palestinians the greatest part of the land.
The result is a model that would create a Palestinian state on nearly 98 percent of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, with the shortfall compensated for by territories inside the Green Line. The borders we drew would allow the vast majority of the settler population (75 percent) to remain in territory that could come under Israeli sovereignty.
Implementation of the plan would take place gradually over 30 months, in accordance with the detailed timetable set out in the Annexes to the Geneva Accord, which were produced under the collaboration of our Israeli and Palestinian teams and published in 2009.
The key to our success in reaching a comprehensive agreement was not in the specific solution we offered to each issue – although there was also a lot of creative thinking there, too – but rather in the concurrence of the solutions we offered.
Comprehensive and conclusive
That is to say, borders and settlements are not simply inter-related with one another alone, but with each of the other final-status issues – most notably those with the greatest symbolic significance: refugees and Jerusalem. We could not reach an agreement without understanding them as such. After all, the question of borders pertains to the area of Jerusalem as well. And as often happens in negotiations, a concession by one side on one issue often allowed a breakthrough in another. In short, we drafted an "accord" that, true to its name, became an accord not only between the two parties but also resolved all the outstanding issues between the two sides. It was comprehensive and conclusive.
As such, it has drawn the support of majorities in both societies. According to the most recent polling data, solid majorities in both societies support a comprehensive, negotiated final-status agreement based on the parameters outlined in the Geneva Accords. These numbers reflect support for the total package that is higher than support for several of its individual elements.
What now? In December, speaking to a delegation of senior Israelis in Ramallah, West Bank, at an event organized by the Geneva Initiative, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas suggested that "[Once we] resolve the issue of borders, it will be possible to also resolve all the others." It is fortunate, then, that a mutually agreeable formula already exists.
My colleagues and I – both Israeli and Palestinian – have pledged to work together and within our respective communities to turn Geneva into reality. We hope that people of goodwill around the world will join us in our pursuit of a just and lasting peace between our two peoples, so that we may live side by side in freedom and security as equal neighbors.

The adventure of making Spanish "Omelette" or Tortilla Española has always been a challenge. Today I took on the adventure and have made a big step in the right direction - figuring out the potato to egg ratio and heat levels when cooking. And, of course, the ever-dreaded FLIP!
Recipe for Tortilla Española (courtesy of www.foodnetwork.com):
3 large eggs
olive oil and salt to taste
3 large potatoes
1 onion, peeled and chopped
Crack the eggs into a bowl. Whisk.
Heat some oil in a frying pan (not one with a heavy base as this will prove to be a hindrance when preparing to do the flip).
Add the potato and fry for a couple of minutes. Add the onion.
When the potato starts to brown a little on the edges and is mashed up with the onion in a lumpy fashion then add the eggs. Make sure the potato and onions are fully submerged by the eggs. Poke the potato to allow some of the egg to seep into the mashed mixture.
Fry this gently on a low heat. While cooking shake the pan to loosen the tortilla from the base and tidy the edges up with a wooden spoon. Do not over cook. The middle is meant to remain runny and gooey.
The egg will start setting, as this happens place a plate over the pan, a large enough plate to cover the pan substantially, and with a quick co-ordinated movement of both wrists FLIP the tortilla over onto the plate and slide back into the pan to cook the underside.
Keep shaking the pan lightly so the tortilla does not stick to the bottom.
Once it feels firm on the edges and soft in the middle (after about 1 minute) then slide the tortilla back onto the plate. For the brave heart you can do the flip again if you wish.

A great matzah-free option if the first Seder has left you feeling stuffed like a Passover turkey and you need a break! You can also serve this at the seder as an alternative to your matzah balls for gluten-intolerant guests.
- Serves 6
- 4 eggs
- a tablespoon of chopped parsley
- 4 slices Hungarian salami, very finely chopped (optional)
- 3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil or to taste
- salt, and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg (if liked)
- 3 quarts (or to taste) chicken or beef broth
In a bowl stir together the eggs, the parsley, salt, pepper, the salami, and the nutmeg.
Heat some olive oil in a non-stick skillet, pour the mixture in, and once one side is cooked flip it over and cook the other side.
If you prefer and if the skillet is oven-proof, you can also cook the second side by broiling in the oven (if you are nervous about the flip!).
Let it cool down and cut it into small cubes that you will place into a bowl and cover with steaming hot chicken or beef broth.
Instead of making a thicker frittata and cutting it into cubes, some people like to prepare very thin ones (crepe-like), and slice them thinly to resemble fettuccini.

By this time next year Chevrolet, Ford, Nissan and Fisker will each have a plug-in electric vehicle on the U.S. market. But until automakers can sell hundreds of thousands of them off the lot — not just to first-adopters and municipal fleets — they won't mean much to society. Experts say it'll take mass acceptance to significantly alter the way Americans consume energy.
"It's going to be very difficult, unless you have $8-a-gallon gasoline, for any normal consumer to look at a Volt or a Nissan Leaf," says John O'Dell, the senior editor of Edmunds' Green Car Advisor. "Right now it takes more than six years, with gasoline prices in the $3 range, for most people to earn back enough money purely on gasoline, to pay for an electric car."
Fortunately, while we wait for electrics to become cheaper and more practical, there are plenty of non-hybrid, gas-engine cars on the road that get exceptional fuel economy.
As one would expect, subcompacts like the Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris fare best — but small cars aren't they only models that sip fuel. Ford's Escape small SUV and Volkswagen's Jetta sedan are solid, money-saving options as well.
To determine the vehicles with the best gas mileage, we evaluated mile-per-gallon fuel efficiency as measured by the EPA and five-year total fuel costs as measured by Vincentric, an auto-consulting firm based in Bingham Farms, Mich. (The data assumes an annual rate of 15,000 miles driven per vehicle and a price of $2.60 for regular fuel, $2.86 for premium and $2.75 for diesel. It also applies an inflation rate for the fuel prices, since the calculations predict costs over five years.)
We awarded points to the vehicles with the best city and best highway mileages, and to the vehicles with the lowest total fuel costs over five years, with one point going to the car with the best efficiency in each category, two points to the next-best, and so on. Lower points indicate better overall fuel economy.
We did not include hybrids in our tally because they would have dominated the entire list. Had we included them, the Toyota Prius, Honda Civic Hybrid, Honda Insight, Ford Escape and Fusion Hybrids, Mercury Milan Hybrid, Nissan Altima Hybrid, Toyota Camry hybrid and Lexus 250h all would have made the cut.
Sales of hybrids and small-engine cars are directly related to gas prices — the higher the cost of a gallon of gas, the more these cars sell — but don't look for a major up-tick in price-per-gallon any time soon. The national average price of gas is $2.811, up from $2.608 last month and $1.933 a year ago. But forecasts from the U.S. Energy Information Administration predict that the annual average price for a gallon of regular gas will reach just $2.96 by 2011 — granted, with a possibility of reaching $3 a gallon at times this summer.
That's good news compared to the $4-plus spikes of July 2008, but it means automakers have less motivation to economize gasoline engines, says Mike Quincy, an automotive specialist for Consumer Reports.
"If gas prices go up to $4 a gallon, your hybrid, even on the used-car market, is going to be very attractive," Quincy says. "But you can't just put pressure on people to buy smaller, more fuel-efficient cars. They won't until they have to. They won't do it until the price of gas gets really expensive."
If fuel economy is already your chief priority, diesel-powered Volkswagens are the way to go. The $22,354 Volkswagen Golf TDI and the $22,830 Volkswagen Jetta TDI tied as the cars with the best overall gas mileage: The four-door VWs each get 30 mpg in the city and 42 mpg on the highway, with a 2.0L turbodiesel engine and a six-speed automatic transmission.
They also have amazing torque; their 236 foot-pounds of power are stronger than the supped-up Volkswagen GTI (207 ft-lbs) and nearly equal that of competitor Subaru Impreza WRX (244 ft-lbs).
Honda also has two models on our list, the $14,900 Fit and the $25,340 Civic GX (a four-door compact that runs on natural gas).
The Fit makes the cut mostly by virtue of its 27-mpg city efficiency. The $7,107 it takes to fuel it for five years is actually on the more expensive side when compared with the $6,881 required for the Toyota Yaris or the $6,712 required for the Ford Escape SUV
It takes just $5,297 to fuel the Civic, which is the least expensive of any car on the list. The sedan uses a 113-horsepower, 1.8L "SOHC i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine" — a combustion engine that runs on compressed natural gas with almost no emissions. Fuel economy is 24 mpg in the city, 36 mpg on the highway.
To really be taken seriously, though, even natural gas and hybrid vehicles will have to compete against the conventional engines on our list. They simply can't be beat in terms of price, performance and convenience, says Nissan's director of product planning, Mark Perry. Perry is leading the launch of Nissan's all-electric Leaf, due out in December.
"Anything long term, to really break out of the early adopter pattern and get the mass market, we have to be considered against other internal combustion engine cars, eventually."

Daintree Australia Rainforest • Wildlife Animals Plants
• Cape Tribulation • Mossman Gorge •
Daintree Queensland
Tel. +61 7 4099 3230 ~ Fax. +61 7 4099 3822
The Daintree Rainforest
The Daintree Rainforest is located north of Cairns in the Daintree Region of Far North Queensland Australia. Within this Daintree Region lies some of the most visited sites, Mossman Gorge, Daintree River and Cape Tribulation.
The Daintree Rainforest is a living museum dating over 135 million years. It is believed to be the oldest continuous living rainforest in the world and is home to the most diverse range of plants and animals on earth.
This area known as the Daintree Rainforest was World Heritage Listed in 1988 in recognition for its universal values and to ensure long term preservation.
The Daintree Rainforest is home to one of the highest populations of primitive flowering plants in the world. Of 19 primitive plant families on earth, 12 are found in the Daintree. One of the rarest and primitive flowering plant species found in the Daintree Rainforest is the Ribbonwood (Idiospermum australiense) also known as the Idiot fruit. Its discovery in the Cape Tribulation National Park in 1970 has been Australia's most significant botanical find. There are also over 31 species of mangroves found along the sheltered sections of the Daintree coast and in the river deltas. They feature the highest diversity of this habitat type in Australia.
The Daintree River is known as a naturalists paradise, it is home to a diverse ecosystem, boasting a vast array of animal and plant life, including ferns, orchids, epiphytes, as well as butterflies, fish, diverse bird life and the elusive 'Estuarine' Saltwater Crocodile, as well as breathtaking scenery.
Another distinctive plant of the Daintree Coast is the fan palm (licuala ramsayi). The flexible stem of the fan palm can withstand cyclones, with the large palm fronds folding up in strong winds which would otherwise strip them.
The Daintree Rainforest also boasts an enormous range of wildlife including the tree kangaroo, musky rat kangaroo, cassowaries, boyd's forest dragons, lizards, frogs, butterflies, bats, brush turkeys, scrub fowls and over 430 other species of birds which include 13 species not found anywhere else in the world.
The Daintree National Park is part of a region in Tropical North Queensland called the "Wet Tropics", where the seasons are determined by rainfall or lack of it. This is where the "wet" and "dry" replace the more familiar four seasons. During the 'Wet Season' November to April, there are heavy frequent downpours usually only lasting a few hours at a time and high humidity. The 'Dry Season' from May to October, the weather offers warm days, cooler nights and low humidity.
The Daintree Rainforest is adjacent to another World Heritage Area the Great Barrier Reef, making it the only place in the world where to World Heritage Areas meet.

Although I haven't tried The Balm that much (or should we say enough) I am very found indeed of the face powders I have tried.
Cabana Boy has been around for a while now, and it was sent to me when I specifically asked for something rosy and pink.
But wait – what is a Cabana Boy? Does he do the Copa?
Apparently, a Cabana boy is:
"a sexy guy with a tan that he gets from working out on the beach and serving the tourists daquiris and rum and cokes."
I love this kind of retro cover! It reminds me of old Mills & Boon books (do people still read them?).
The blush/eyeshadow is a super rosy (I'd say quite a true, deep rose) with micro sparkles. Its extremely, extremely pigmented so you must use this with a light hand!
My current obsession is the Armani Blusher Brush – its so good for a light application.
You know this is true:
If only so many of my friends weren't single and always moaning about trying to get a date……I suppose if we were to compare the Balm to Benefit (it has that similar kind of retro look and both come in sturdy cardboard – I hate cardboard packaging but the Balms is very well made – it would disintegrate upon a dip in the water) it would be linked with Dallas but I find Dallas more bronzy and slightly less pigmented.
Is this colour universal?
I'm not sure. I think its a mighty useful colour – its rosy after all – but its just important to use that light touch cos its pigment mania.
They say:
This pink dusty rose rouge will ensure that you have all the boys attending to you. The subtle shimmer catches the eye while the warm undertones provide a glow that is oh-so-natural regardless if you are pool-side, beach-side or bed-side.
Oh la la! Here it is on my cheek, light light light sweep:
the Balm has some other lovely powders, I want to try out their bronzer sometime too.
Well recommended if you want a pigmented, softly shimmer rosy blush.
Its on sale here at Harvey Nichols online for £16 (it says that its exclusive to HN).

Makes about 40
200g (7oz) butter, softened
100g (3 ½ oz) icing sugar, sifted
1 tsp vanilla extract
200g plain flour
½ tsp baking powder
100g (3 ½ oz) porridge oats
Preheat the oven to 180oC (350oF), Gas mark 4. Cream the butter in a large bowl or in an electric food mixer until soft. Add the icing sugar and vanilla extract and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy. Sift in the flour and baking powder, then stir in the oats and bring the mixture together to form a dough. Using a sheet of cling film to cover the dough, roll it into a log about 30cm (12in) long and 6cm (2 ½in) in diameter. Allow to chill in the fridge, covered in the cling film, for about 30 minutes until firm. Remove the cling film; slice the log into rounds about 5mm (¼in) thick and place slightly apart on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until light golden brown and dry to the touch. Carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool.

I'm known as a Frugal Bastard as I'm careful with my money and don't like wastage. I travel a bit, take lots of photos, make videos and like sharing my own silly opinions on stupid things and spelling mistakes that I discover in the media. Political comment and satire have a place close to my heart. I also major in sarcasm.
Somewhere close to someplace eh? Gill

Pretty nails
I really like how easy these are to put on. Sometimes it gets hard to do the other hand when I've used other brands. These are easy :)
These stay on very nicely. I love that they don't look like press on nails. These colors are neutral enough that they don't clash with my outfits.

Updates To Consider On Astute — From U Flowers Products
Then I'm using some Ranger Clear Embossing Powder on top and then I'll heat set that until it's melted. Take one of your chocolate truffles and use a little bit more chocolate to secure the macaron on top of that . You don't need to see flowers love us off again. Michael: Come on! Can you piss standing? Who the hell are you?! Please do not hardsub, rent, sell, or stream these subtitles! Actually, that's flowers love what I was about to tell you. Flip the work around and redo the From U Flowers same steps on the other side. Oh, what are you doing there? Lin Qiao only has you in his heart. There's no reason for me to go. We danced to fun, crazy music, and we did the salsa. Cancer of?. Cancer of the … Here, the liver. When you seem to have reached a stalemate of sorts in your love life and it seems boring and monotonous it is time to make it come alive. Don't be like this. Her version is made of vanilla pudding blended with cream cheese. Kolkata, with more than its share of poverty and hardships, offers a contrasting view into the reality of this Indian mega city.
We are searching for from 2days What happened? He likes it after all He follows me well Even though he grumbles He only says like that But he follows me if I ask -Let's go! She has a complete spell on you. We're doing this just to get a leading line. Now add a couple pieces of Nori in between these walls, like so — okay, beautiful. Why did you drop it? I have a whole video that shows you how to make chocolate macarons so I'll link to it in the description below. This smooths the tape out plus makes it stick better to itself. That's really great! Start adding paper clips to the top where the clip string crosses until you end up I Love You With Flowers with a lovely flower. You need to discard them. So you can see right here, if I cover the whole thing, that's a 2 ½ inch Dresden blade, and I'm going to cut, I'm going to go ahead and cut these, like this. Hold your neck pretend to be injured a lot Ha!Ha!Ha! I don't know about South Korea. If you give more practice, they can do it up to five times. Repeat this process until you have a total of 5 petals for your sepal. Oh, come on. For example, hunger! Me. Ah. there he comes. It is said that by scattering dried gardenia around the home, it will stimulate peaceful and loving vibes. A "gentleman" is someone who will hold the door open for you.
Get off the stage! Being this rich, living a life completely free of discomfort. Then using some more chocolate add the base in place and this is going to hold all the petals in place right where we want them. Have biriyani and tea Yes What? And another version of origami tulip is complete! I have this kind of anxiety. They do that by attracting animals — like birds and bees and flies and beetles — with their smell. Are you going to take action once you enter the city? You are a man. Please, don't go. Honestly, if you can hem pants, you can do this. Keep an eye on your cream and milk because you don't want it to boil over. Now, I usually go back through again just to make sure that it's secure. Because these ladies walk in with all of these images, that either they want the exact same thing, which I don't do. The others have all been already ruined by me.

The EPA has confirmed a new USGS report published today supports an earlier study that groundwater near a Wyoming town may contain chemicals associated with fracking.
It would be the first time a government report directly linked fracking to groundwater contamination.
EPA representative Alisha Johnson said in a statement that the new findings are consistent with results that agency published in December that found contamination:
EPA's analysis of samples taken from the Agency's deep monitoring wells in the aquifer indicates detection of synthetic chemicals, like glycols and alcohols consistent with gas production and hydraulic fracturing fluids, benzene concentrations well above Safe Drinking Water Act standards and high methane levels.
As part of an agreement with Wyoming, the USGS did not interpret its own results for the area surrounding Pavillion, Wyo., according to the release accompanying the report.
"USGS conducted the sampling at the request of the State of Wyoming and in coordination with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Consistent with a cooperative agreement with Wyoming, the USGS did not interpret data as part of this sampling effort.
Instead, USGS wrote:
several different hydrocarbon gasses, including methane, ethane, propane, and several higher molecular weight compounds, were detected in the groundwater-quality samples.
Johnson also said EPA was finalizing its own results, and that both its report and USGS' would be submitted to a third party for further analysis.
Once finalized, the latest EPA data, along with the USGS data, will be submitted to an independent, expert peer review as part of the ongoing scientific process later this year.
Another EPA representative said she did not know when that final study would be published.
A statement from Encana, the company who performed the drilling, said they are still looking at the data, but suggested faulty testing may have affected the findings:
From a preliminary examination of the data, there appears to be nothing surprising in these results. More important is the fact that USGS only sampled one of the two monitoring wells. This goes to the heart of concerns raised by state and federal agencies, as well as Encana—EPA's wells are improperly constructed. Specifically, the report seems to indicate that USGS declined to sample MW02 because the well could not provide a sample that was representative of actual water quality conditions.
Fracking remains one of the most contentious debate issues in the United States:
