Best hotels in Albany
Whether you're visiting Albany for its rich history, stunning nature, or vibrant nightlife, New York's capital has much to offer. The city is built on the banks of the Hudson River – a waterway rich in military and economic history – and at the foot of the lush Adirondacks and Catskill Mountains. The capital city's century-old architecture offers a stunning blend of Gothic Revival, Romanesque, and Moorish influences. As experts in travel, there's no better way for you to book your stay in Albany. Whether you're looking for hotels in the heart of the capital or outside the city center, Hotels.com offers a wide selection of hotels in Albany.

What's Albany Like?
Once a Dutch colony, Albany has evolved, while keeping its rich history. Historical architecture sits next to modern buildings, all just a short stroll from our downtown Albany hotels. In the heart of downtown Albany, you'll find the stunning New York State Capitol building, inspired by the Hotel de Ville in Paris. Just a few steps away from Albany's Capitol building you'll find the ultra-modern Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller Empire State Plaza featuring The Egg, Corning Tower, the New York State Museum, and more. The plaza features two reflecting pools and art sculptures. For more historic marvels, step aboard the USS Slater, a WWII Naval Destroyer Escort, or check out some of Albany's historic homes. But history isn't all you'll find in Albany. Just outside of the city, you'll discover the Cohoes Falls, Adirondack and Catskill Mountains, and much more. Albany is less than three hours from major cities like New York City, Montreal, and Boston, and just a short drive from historical Cooperstown or Saratoga Springs. Whether you stay in Albany for a weekend or a week, you're sure to find an adventure!
Tips for Getting Along with Locals in Albany
Albany balances urban excitement, historical significance, and its political role, while still embracing the beauty and charm of up-state New York. Most of downtown Albany can be explored on foot, though most residents and visitors get around by car. With just 100,000 residents, New York's capital is not as chaotic as nearby New York City and major traffic is rare. Parking can be challenging in some areas, so a good pair of walking shoes and some patience will be handy during your visit to Albany. If you're staying in a hotel in downtown Albany and plan to stay in the city center, a vehicle may not be necessary. For a sense of the local atmosphere, check out the buzzing Lark Street at the heart of downtown. This neighborhood is part commercial, part residential, and always exciting – a bustling city scene tucked into the quiet capital. Spanning 10 blocks, Lark Street offers a variety of coffee shops, bars, spas, art establishments, and more. In the warm weather, much of Lark Street can be enjoyed on its various patios. Be sure to pack for the season as Albany's temperatures can range from below freezing to the mid-70s.

Multi-state models for clustered duration data: an application to workplace effects on individual sickness absenteeism
In this paper we specify and estimate three state duration models of work, sickness and exit from the job to explain individual absenteeism behaviour of primary school teachers. There is a large variation of sickness absenteeism records across schools and absenteeism records of workers within a school appear to be related. This clustering of individual absenteeism data may to a large extend be caused by workplace effects. Since it will be difficult to fully capture workplace effects with observed characteristics of the workplace, we also account for unobserved workplace effects in the models. The most flexible specification allows for non-parametric baseline hazards that differ per exit rate and workplace. A stratified partial likelihood approach is used to estimate the regression coefficients of this model. Conditional on these estimates we recover fixed unobserved workplace effects and semi-parametric baseline hazards in order to detect the causes for the observed variation and clustering in the data.

After receiving the second shipment (the first shipment had the imprint on the bottom) the imprint and the pill box looks great. The only concern I have is that they are not very easy to open and since they will be given to elderly people, this might be a problem.

Andrew Harding on Africa Review reports on the courageous acts of a congregation in the shabby town of Boali, Central African Republic and notably one Father Xavier Fagba. The St Peter's Parish church has sheltered Muslims seeking sanctuary from ethnic cleansing perpetrated by anti balaka gangs:
"Now is the time for men of goodwill to stand up and prove the strength and quality of their faith," said Father Fagba, [..] "When I did this, nobody in the community understood me. They attacked and threatened me." The Muslims – about 650 in all – arrived at the church on January 16 and 17. "The Muslims discovered in our church that the God we worship is the same as their God," said Father Fagba.
On twitter, a hashtag #CARKindness reports the local acts of kindness amidst the unspeakable wave of violence that plagues the country. Here is another instance of such kindness:

Don't get me wrong, I love to shop (all the time) but it's also fun to create looks from items already in your wardrobe. This "top" is actually a dress. Save more and challenge yourself, it's a must from time to time, does your wallet good.

Hockey is back! Well- not on local television just yet, but the Detroit Red Wings have opened up their September scrimmages with a strong 4-1 win in Pittsburgh.
Couldn't find a video feed to watch your Red Wings? Don't worry, I got you covered.
Here are my takeaways from the "first game of the season."
Tatar making his case
After a sluggish start in which the Wings struggled to find their legs, Tomas Tatar found himself an empty net and put home the first goal of the game 12:56 into the 1st period. The goal itself was an easy tap-in setup by a wrap-around from Landon Ferraro, but Tatar did a great job coming back off the boards to get in the front of the net for the goal. Then, in the second period, Tatar picked up an assist on a power play goal by Adam Almqvist.
Tatar will make the Red Wings' roster this season because he would have to pass through waivers in order to return to Grand Rapids, and he's too talented to give up. But the problem is finding him playing time on a roster loaded with forwards.
Today he made another stride in the right direction. Come opening night, I see no reason why Tomas Tatar won't get regular playing time if he continues playing like he did today.
Special teams dominate
The power play scored two goals from slap shots out by the blue line from defenseman Adam Almqvist; this earned him the first star of the game. Although small in stature, Almqvist had tremendous power and accuracy on both of his goals. He is unlikely to make the team but should be a great asset in Grand Rapids. The main takeaway was the relative ease the team had in creating chances on the power play. The puck was rotated well and the chemistry between the players was solid. For example, Mikael Samuelsson had a nifty no look back pass to assist Almqvist on his second goal.
The penalty killing was just as impressive. Pittsburgh went 0 for 5 on the power play with very limited chances at goal. Jimmy Howard didn't have much to deal with as the defense blocked the passing lanes and stepped in front of shots. They did, however, struggle to get the puck out of the zone so there is something that needs to be worked on.
Datsyuk is ready
The final goal of the night came from Pavel Datsyuk late in the 2nd period, and it was of the "Datsyukian" variety. The magic man beat three Penguins on a solo rush in from the blue line. Tomas Vokoun saved the first shot by Datsyuk but he skated right past the defenders to pick up the puck on the rebound and backhanded it home. It looked so effortless, yet he went through half of their team to get the goal. He also picked up an assist on the second goal by Almqvist.
Datsyuk was rather quiet despite getting those two points. He didn't get too many minutes as expected but he still looked in mid-season form from the few times he was on the ice, a great sign.
The Red Wings will take on the Chicago Blackhawks tomorrow, September 17, at 8:00 PM eastern time. Their first televised game will be on Thursday at home against the Boston Bruins, at 7:00 PM eastern time.

Juneau Police DepartmentAnnual Report and Strategic PlanIn one year what do employees of the Juneau Police Department accomplish? The incredibly diverse responsibilities of a Juneau police officer or civilian staff member make the term "routine business" a dichotomy. Behind the statistics are days of service to the community, tempered with skill, experience, and emotion; days that for many of our citizens may represent a bad experience or even tragedy. But when major events occur, the citizens of Juneau come together in support of this agency. Our annual report is an attempt to take the everyday work lives of Police Department employees and create a snapshot in time from the drift of police work that came before and continues every day. Our Annual Report covers a fiscal year which for the City & Borough of Juneau runs July 1 - June 30. We began in FY 2008 and will continue yearly. Annual Reports

Donaji & the Magical Poncho
This is the story of a fearless girl and her encounter with the wicked cold wind god
4.27 / 5.00 4,695 ViewsUpdate: Added a crosshair, because it was hard to hit enemies without knowing where your shooting.
Aim at the horrible monsters, and shoot.
Use your best skills to escape the horrid Dungeon of Doom.
This first person shooter is a video game that tests your shooting skills. If you happen to die while your escaping the dungeon, that will be a game over. You will not escape!
Good Luck, you will need it.
pretty good
but it needs work on the graphics, and the aiming is a little wierd. its hard for me to see the crosshairs, but other than that, its pretty fun. although you really should have put more time into this and it would have turned out better
Good job.
Good game and scripting but sloppy Graffix. Improving on the size of the sights and Editing the gun image so it wold come off the bottom of the screed kinda like doom style i think it would help people aim better and improve the over all game play. Besides that some of the monsters are to close and no depth feel, i wouldn't mind if it had a story to it.
Thanks for the review, I'll pratice my graffix more often now.
prety good but not the best
it definitely needs some work, the art wasn't great and it is in dire need of some kind of sighting system, but overall it is a good concept
Thanks, yeah, I have to work on my art skills.
Pretty Good, but a few problems.
I thought it was a fairly good mini-shooter, and it was fairly well-designed. I made it to the second part.
However, I realized that the gun and the actual mouse positions were a bit offset so that the barrel of the gun didn't match up to where the bullet went, which made it extremely hard to hit the very small targets that were the health and ammo pickups. Also, the hit detection was a bit shaky.
Overall, though, It was quite good. :)
Thanks, I updated it, so now you can see where you shoot.
Needs Work
I suggest you make it so that the enemies cannot be lower than the bottom of the screen. Sometimes I would see enemies down there that i cannot hit. Also, I suggest make a crosshairs to show precisely where the gun is aiming and/or make targets easier to hit. I wasted 20 shots trying to hit an ammo increase only to get 14 shots from it : ( .
Yeah. I went with the crosshair idea, and updated the game. Thanks for the review.

New Millennium Meatplates
8 comments:
My husband's aunt has a Manhattan apartment she hasn't lived in since 1980, and it's been empty (albeit cleaned weekly) and museum-like ever since. In other words, CREEPY. We stayed there last weekend, and I explain this to say that among her time-warp coffee table books was this bizarre photo book of foot bindings. It upped the creepiness factor of the already-creepy apartment tenfold. And THAT'S to say... I'm so happy for your grandmother's freed "meatplates!"
ReplyDeleteIt's so funny you posted about this because I've been thinking a lot lately about switching mostly over to flats given I suffer from metatarsalgia in my left foot thanks wearing heels a lot. I wish I were taller to offset the loss of height and the lengthening effect-haha. UGH!
You've been thinking of going flat too?

As long as it's above freezing and everything is protected from critters (mice etc) you should be okay!
You'll like storing food in the 5 gallon buckets and the meals they represent. I bought my buckets for $1 at a local bakery (2# food quality) My o2's and mylar bags around $40 and rice for $15-$16 for per 50lb bags. Pasta, beans etc |

May be a dumb question, but the only dumb question is one that isn't asked. What is DH? I think this is a great question. I too have wondered about this, but I'm more worried about the extreme summer heat. We are talking the garage nearing 100-degrees for weeks on end in the summer.
The Following User Says Thank You to boldimagery For This Useful Post: | ||
The winter and freezing is not what will affect the quality of the food...it is the hot summer temperatures that will ruin it. Could you move some non-food items out to the garage instead? And somehow put out of sight and mind the food items indoors? He may object just to seeing it all, but if it isn't staring him in the face, he might forget about it. Could you store some of it with a close relative, if that's not possible? The food will be alright during the winter if the insects and rodents are kept out, so you've got some time to think of a plan. |
nothing in boxes and bags; between bugs and condensation from heat-thaw cycles they will be contaminated or moldy or just gross to eat.
Anything in a container made of cardboard or paper or the like will be attacked by bugs, wet from condensation, then you get mold and bla bla bla dont do it. Cans are good but if you leave them in there wayyy to long and its damp they could rust. so keep them off the ground. also, since i doubt you want bug footprints in your food, i suggest when you do open the cans you open the bottoms. Now, when 2 different metals are touching the rusting is much worse as one metal "steals" electrons or something similar. So dont let the cans touch rusty nails or the like i guess. a metal shelving unit is also bad. Jars are okay, except you cant open them from the bottom. Plastic should be okay. Just keep in mind any container with sweet juices inside should be inspected and cleaned as needed to avoid sticky residues on the outside, or you will have a nice bug population boom. Supposedly there were leaky juice boxes a while ago, since then ive inspected my canned fruit before storing it. |
I think I would be more worried about the summer heat drastically reducing your shelf life.
Can't you threaten to ... you know ... uh ... *withhold* ... certain things if he makes you move all that out there? |
We are in Atlanta. All canned goods, dry packaged goods and other food are in the garage.
Even when it is 21 degrees outside as it has been lately nothing freezes. It's a great place in the winter to keep drinks cold and fresh veggies. I've had nothing freeze in three winters here. So the garage works just fine, even without the insulation. Now, farther north, it would probably freeze because the external temperature is lower there. Quote:

I actually have a similar problem in that im storing food in my cold storage which can literally freeze over in winter if it gets cold enough.
Fortunately, my electronics knowledge has suggested a solution; you wrap the cans in a turn of duct tape, to electrically insulate them, then you put a few turns of ni-chrome wire around the cans. connect it all through a micro-controller to a power source and ta-da; heated cans. In phase two ill try it out, but i dont have a source of nichrome wire ATM. |
I agree with Lanahi. It's the summer heat that'll kill your foods fast. If you don't have to worry about rodents, I'd pack up all the dry stuff into buckets to keep the bugs out. Your foods in jars would be ok out there too if it doesn't get into freezing temperatures inside. If it stays 42 in the garage when it's 20 outside, you probably don't have to worry unless your climate gets a lot colder.
Remember, space doesn't just exist. You have to make it. Maybe take a look around the house to see if you can create some. You can put a layer of foods in the bottom of a closet, under the bed or behind the couch for example. I've shoehorned food into all sorts of odd spots here. I put a layer of #10 cans in their boxes on the bottoms of all the closets. I just set things on top of them as if they were the floor. |

Growing up I remember my idiot friends walking into people garages who had refridgerator in them to see if they had beer in them. They would take like three beers and leave behind the rest so the owner would never know they were gone. There was like 6 houses they knew kept beer in their garages. One guy kept a keg in this little fridge and they would fill an empty plastic milk jug. They always bragged that they only took beer and never stole anything claiming to be like Robbinhood. Then one day they decided to make speggetti so they took some canned tomatoes then it got easy for them to steal and they took some jam, and even bowling balls one time to throw off a bridge to see who could make the bigger splash.
If I had to put my storage goods in my garage I would make a fake wall or a good floor length curtain facing the entrance so no one could see the preps. The ones who can see it but don't steal your stuff will at least know they are there. If something happens where do you think they are going to go when they need food. Small space heaters to help protect against freezing for the winter and maybe a small fan for the summer months. When you stack your food in pails make sure to have it on one of those wooden pallets at least an inch away from the wall to help circulate air. I use to work at a resteraunt and we kept food in a small shed when our storage area was over stocked for the holidays. These techniques worked for us. I had a friend who moved his couch and love seat away from the wall far enough to stack food pails when they go to the top of the couch they laid one board ontop the pails and one on the side. You would never know the pails were there. They had their kids trophies and other bricker-brack sitting on top. Their side of the bed facing the wall had pails done up the same way but with a blanket along the side. They had blankets and pillows sitting on top of it. You would never know the pails were there. he was a master at hiding pails and making them look like furniture or cabinetes. We use to joke that if he had a new kid standing around the house it was because he found a way to disguise a pail stack to look like a kid. Last edited by Todesking; 01-05-2010 at 04:27 PM.. |
I stored some cans in the garage thinking it would be ok. Well, many rusted, even though I had them on a shelf that was 6' off the ground. The ones that didn't, tasted like ass. Even stuff like corn had the liquid turn real cloudy and unnatural and smelled funny. Tomatoes got funk nasty, was truly afraid of food poisoning. You could do it, but you better rotate through the stock much quicker than usual.

Being your neighbor to the near south, I would be concerned about keeping glass jars in the garage, or even canned for that matter. Yes, I know you mentioned it's 42 in the garage currently, but you and I both know what it can drop to temp wise here. I'd try to be crafty and shoe horn it inside. I speak from experience considering I live in a single wide trailer
Mice WILL get to the food if it's in a garage. Even if they don't access the food itself, their poop carries hantavirus. If they poop on the top of a can of beans, unless the whole can is washed before oprning, you run a substantial risk of contaminating the food. Read up on it. I would not want my preps exposed to that.
There are ways to fight off the mice but they always seem to find another way ... they're mother nature's terrorists. |

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Univision Radio Join Forces To Raise Funds For Children Battling Cancer And Other Deadly Diseases
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Univision Radio, the radio division of Univision Communications Inc., the leading media company serving Hispanic America, will host its annual St. Jude Promesa y Esperanza (Promise and Hope) radio event to be held on Feb. 7 and 8 to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, one of the world's premier centers for the research and treatment of pediatric cancer and other deadly childhood diseases.
To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click: http://www.multivu.com/mnr/58260-st-jude-childrens-research-hospital-univision-radio-promesa-y-esperanza
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130204/MM53303 )
Univision Radio stations in 17 participating cities across the country and Puerto Rico will dedicate two days, more than 30 hours of programming, to help St. Jude provide pioneering research and exceptional care to children battling deadly diseases. No family ever pays St. Jude for anything. The radio event highlights St. Jude patient testimonials and radio promotions to encourage listeners to become Angeles de Esperanza (Angels of Hope) by making a donation of $20 per month.
St. Jude Promesa y Esperanza will continue this year with the support of Univision's local television stations, online, mobile and social media platforms in addition to the Univision America AM radio network. During the broadcast, donations can be made using a debit or credit card by calling 1-800-998-8432 at no cost, which entitles donors to a St. Jude Promesa y Esperanza t-shirt; or by visiting promesayesperanza.org from any desktop, tablet or mobile device. Fans can also join the conversation on Twitter via @StJude and using the hashtag #StJudeUvn.
"Univision Radio is committed to supporting the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital," said Jose Valle, president of Univision Radio. "There is no place like St. Jude. Its doctors and scientists use a pioneering approach to develop and identify promising new treatments and drugs to help children in the United States, Puerto Rico and around the world have a chance at life."
Since its inception in 1997, St. Jude Promesa y Esperanza has grown to be one of the most successful radio fundraising programs in the U.S. Hispanic market, raising more than $80 million in cash and pledges to help thousands of children like seventeen-year-old Susy.
At St. Jude, doctors confirmed that Susy suffered from Hodgkin lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. Susy's treatment includes eight weeks of chemotherapy and 17 rounds of radiation. To her family's relief, Susy has responded well to treatment and will finish treatment soon. Many children like her are able to dream of a future because they are receiving exceptional medical care and their families will never have to pay St. Jude for anything.
"Each year Univision Radio listeners across the nation are inspired by the lifesaving mission of St. Jude thanks to the stations that share our story of hope with the Hispanic community," said Richard Shadyac Jr., CEO of ALSAC/St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. "We're grateful for the support of Univision Radio in helping us raise awareness and funds to continue finding cures and saving children in communities everywhere."
The daily operating cost for St. Jude is $1.8 million and more than 75 percent of that funding is covered primarily by public contributions and through events like St. Jude Promesa y Esperanza. St. Jude treats some of the world's sickest children with pioneering research and exceptional care under one roof. The hospital covers the cost of treatment, travel, lodging and food for patients and a family member. St. Jude also freely shares its research with the medical community, so that one child saved at St. Jude means thousands more saved around the world.
About St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
Since opening 50 years ago, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital has changed the way the world treats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. No family ever pays St. Jude for the care their child receives and, for every child treated here, thousands more have been saved worldwide through St. Jude discoveries. The hospital has played a pivotal role in pushing U.S. pediatric cancer survival rates from 20 to 80 percent overall, and is the first and only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted solely to children. It is also a leader in the research and treatment of blood disorders and infectious diseases in children. St. Jude was founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas, who believed that no child should die in the dawn of life. Join that mission by visiting stjude.org or following us on facebook.com/stjude and twitter.com/stjude.

***Disclosure: This recipe is sponsored by DataRank and Kingsford Charcoal. As always, all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.***
Needless to say, we don't have a ton of tailgating opportunities, being Bears fans living in Dawg Pound country. So, rather than skip all the fun of grilling foods for the game, surrounded by loads of hungry fans, we bring the tailgating to our house on game day. We even bought a small, charcoal grill for such occasions. (After all, you don't get the same flavors using a massive propane grill!)
If you'd like to try this dish, you're going to need a nice, high-quality flank steak. I like the USDA Choice Steaks from Walmart. They have amazing flavor and are always a wonderful value.
You're also going to need some peppers. We also find these at Walmart. I love peppers of all kinds, but have found that Bell Peppers are the most kid-friendly, since they're not terribly spicy. This time, we chose red, yellow, and orange bell peppers.
Now comes the fun part. Making the flavorful marinade! This, my friends, is where all the flavor comes from. I make a simple marinade using Soy Sauce, Worcestershire Sauce, Balsamic Vinegar, a touch of Red Wine, some Olive Oil, garlic, and some very special spices. (Don't worry! I am including the recipe in this post.)
You're going to want to marinate your steak and peppers as long as possible. I try to marinate overnight, when possible. If that's not doable, a couple hours will suffice.
Anyway, once your charcoal is lit and spread out, just place the steak on the grill. Be prepared to drool, because the aromas that will fill the air are absolutely amazing.
Once the steak has finished cooking, remove it from the grill and set it on a platter to rest. You're going to want to let it sit for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. If you don't, all of the juices will seep out while you cut the meat. Not only will that make a mess, it will also make the steak less juicy. And no one wants that!
To assemble these subs, simply take some of the steak and pepper mixture and place them onto the sub roll. Top this mixture with a healthy dose of Mozzarella cheese.
If you're grilling them, wrap them tightly in aluminum foil and place them on the grill for about 10 minutes, over medium heat. Them remove them, unwrap the foil, and dig in!
For oven preparation, place the subs on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 F for about 10 minutes. This will make the cheese nice and gooey. Yum!
If you'd like to try my Marinated Steak and Pepper Subs during your next game day feast, you're in luck! Since I am all about sharing, I am giving you my recipe!
Brandy's Marinated Steak & Pepper Subs:
- One large Flank Steak. (I like the USDA Choice Steaks at Walmart.)
- 2-3 large peppers. (I like bell peppers, any color will do!)
- Sub Rolls
- Sliced Mozzarella Cheese (We go heavy on the cheese, so any amount is fine.)
For the Marinade:
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/3 cup Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/3 cup Olive Oil
- 1/4 cup Red Wine (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- Dash hot pepper sauce (I like Louisiana Crystal Sauce)
- Pepper to taste
- Prepare marinade. Just mix all of those ingredients together until well-blended. Set aside.
- Slice bell peppers into strips or chunks. You want them large enough that they won't fall into the grill! (We learned this through trial and error!) Set aside.
- Place Flank Steak into a dish or Ziplock Bag. Pour marinade over the steak. Add peppers, making sure they're coated well. Allow this mixture to marinate at least 2-3 hours, but preferably overnight.
- Prepare your charcoal grill. We like Kingsford Match Light Charcoal because it lights easily and heats up quickly.
- Place Flank Steak on the grill. Allow it to cook for about 8 minutes. Flip your steak. Admire the beautiful sear marks.
- After this time has passed, which is about halfway through cooking, add the peppers to the grill. (They take a lot less time to cook.)
- Grill the peppers until they're tender, and the skins have a bit of blistering on them. Once they reach this point,remove them and set them aside.
- Check your steak for desired doneness. For a perfect medium-rare, total cook time is only about 15 minutes. You can adjust cooking times to your own personal tastes. I have found that about 25 minutes total cooking time gives well-done results.
- Once the steak is to your desired doneness, remove it from the heat and place on a platter. Allow the meat to "rest" for 5-10 minutes. This helps keep those juices in!
- Slice steak into strips that are about 1/4 inch thick. Add peppers. Mix them up to blend flavors.
- Grab your sub rolls. Place some of the steak and pepper mixture onto each roll.
- Top with Mozzarella Cheese. Add as much as you'd like! I'll never tell!
- To Grill Subs: Wrap in foil. Place on the grill over medium heat, and cook for about 10 minutes, till the cheese is nice and melted.
- For Oven Preparation: Preheat Oven to 350 F. Place subs on a cookie sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
- Enjoy!

NEW YORK—I read an extremely interesting article by former President Harry S. Truman in Tuesday's newspaper, in which he discussed the necessity for a unified country back of the Administration's foreign policy.
Mr. Truman says that any criticism of this policy gives comfort to the Soviet Union and to Communism.
He does, however, state that there must be free and open discussion of these policies before they are decided on, and that the Administration is obligated to consult with the leaders of Congress both on the Democratic and the Republican sides. Otherwise, it should not expect support for its policies.
It is quite evident that the Administration has not always consulted with the Democratic leaders nor has the Administration had these leaders together with the Republican leaders, so that there could be a joint discussion and a real meeting of minds.
I am wondering whether there might not be something more that is really essential to the creation of a sound foreign policy. It seems to me that particularly when there is a majority of the opposition party in the Congress that there should be alternatives placed before the people by the leaders on both sides. In this case it would have to be done by the Congressional leaders.
The Democrats now have a narrow margin of votes. They may have a wider margin after Election Day. That would seem to indicate that the people would like to have from the Democratic party a clear-cut statement of policy. During the current campaign the voters have indicated that they are more interested at the present time in our foreign policy and the preservation of peace in the world than they are in any of the local questions that are being discussed, important as those are in our daily lives.
We have finally come to realize that unless we have peace the solution of all other questions is unimportant.
Mr. Truman says: "I would hope that partisan political considerations would not influence the Administration in the course it takes to guard the peace in the face of continuing threats and intrigues of the Communists."
As I look back over the policies in the foreign field of the present Administration I find it very hard to put the blame entirely on the Communists for the world situations which have arisen. Mr. Truman says he hopes that our allies will stand by us in whatever policies we decide to pursue. In that case he assumes that the Administration has also kept our allies informed of our policies and that they agree with us.
On the whole, I think Mr. Truman assumes a good many things in his article that most of us know are not true.
Going back as far as the Suez crisis we know that our allies had not been talking with us at all. Now we are told that close cooperation has been reestablished.
I question some of the real understanding in many areas but particularly in the Far East.
I think that it is our own stupidity which has brought about some of the "Communist threats and intrigues," and at the present time I think it is up to the Democratic party to offer the nation some really constructive programs in our foreign policy in various areas of the world.
We constantly blame the Communists for failure in the area of disarmament. But, as I review the situation, I think there are steps which possibly we might have suggested had we had more imagination and had we clarified and presented our own proposals in many ways. We might have done these things, having in mind the situation of other nations and the appeal that we must make to them, as well as understanding what the Communists undoubtedly were proposing to them.
We must present a unified nation's opinion on foreign policy. But this nation needs to be better informed and to know more about the actual realities of the world situation before it blindly backs an Administration stand, even if our Democratic leaders acquiesce with it for patriotic reasons of unity alone.

Sen. Marco Rubio just returned from Gitmo and, after the pro-forma hailing of the troops and batting down of the VP shortlister questions from the press, also responded to criticisms from liberals who accuse him of hypocrisy for supporting an immigration proposal meant to help immigrant kids while quietly filing a bill that would require extra documentation for immigrants who apply for a child tax credit.
"I haven't taken any heat because it's the logical thing to do. It's filed publicly. It's available for everyone to see," he said.
"The bill's pretty straightforward. There are people in this country filing for child tax credits for children who don't even live in the United States and it has been documented and it was never intended for that purpose," he said. "It's not even legal to do it now. All this does is say if you don't have a Social Security Number, and you did file for the tax credit, you have to file paperwork proving that those children who are receiving the tax credit are here in the United States.
"A television station in Indianapolis did pretty extensive coverage of it. And the IRS inspector general says it's illegal and the loophole should be closed. There's bipartisan support for it. I know one of my colleagues from the Democratic side has also expressed an interest in it. It's basically illegal to do it now. All this does is require documentation."

Thomas Hardy, OM was an English novelist, short story writer, and poet of the naturalist movement, though he saw himself as a poet and wrote novels mainly for financial gain only. The bulk of his work, set mainly in the semi-imaginary county of Wessex, delineates characters struggling against their passions and circumstances. Hardy's poetry, first published in his fifties, has come to be as well regarded as his novels, especially after The Movement of the 1950s and 1960s.

"Once victim, always victim -- that's the law!"

Judging EU novels on their merits alone has always been vexing given most of the fanbase's very ingrained preconceptions on what they like and do not. Example, Chewbacca is killed instead of how Salvatore constructed the scene or the logic of Chewie dying in the series. Another irritable variable specific to Lit here is the near dogmatic reading of continuity versus narrative flow. Sorry small group of the fanbase, most of the readership had not read Young Jedi Knights when Vector Prime was released. All sprawling continuities have adjustments periodically, and a revision of a small aspect of the timeline is not worth anger. Salvatore's incessant usage of the exclamation point, however, is an agreeable nail for authorial crucifixtion. A general critique of the major EU novelists? Stackpole is someone who creates interesting characters and plots to overcome the fact he is at best a mediocre writer. His terrible dialogue has been described numerous times, and two of his three main antagonists- Ysanne Isard and Sheado Shai- are forgettable shrill screamers who act far less intelligently than the story proposes. His numerous red shirt deaths in X-Wing is another well known weakness alongside his occasional Corran indulgent. Post-Rogue Squadron his protagonists like each other too much for any significant tension in the squadron. For positives, supporting antagonists such as Loor, his introduction of first person into the EU, and his nomially interesting lead characters are a significant counterbalance. Thrawn Trilogy is an excellent trilogy almost killed by C'Baoth's ridiculous behavior. Zahn's post-Thrawn Trilogy work has been mixed. Outbound Flight is a microcosm of Zahn's strengths, the Car'das sections, and Zahn's terrible self-indulgence, the C'Baoth/Outbound Flight portions. Hopefully Scoundrels will show Zahn finally pull his head out of his *** so he can return to worthwhile writing. I've written entire essays on how terrible Allston's writing is from a technical level, which I can e-mail to anyone who is interested. His timid construction of scenes, the inability to deeply inhabit the characters, the lack of emotional impact in his later novels, his tendency to end battles in a simple paragraph, and so forth. How this schlock is published let alone appreciated by large sections of the fanbase is baffling. KJA is possibly an even worse scene constructer. The scene proceding the execution of the warlords in Darksaber is a great personification of his prose work on a whole. The warlords scream at each other, even physically hit each other, and Daala hits a button wiping all of them out. What great potential wasted on a lackluster writer. His ability to meet his deadlines is probably the main reason for his career. On the whole, the Bantam editors did pay a lot closer to copy editing of the novels, but when someone bad reached publication the terrible is quite shocking. Observe several of the ridiculous similes Tyers employed in The Truce at Bakura. I wish my library still had a copy so I can type out the Calamari one. Bleh. For Del Rey, several of their writers are arguably the best prose and narrative constructors though questionable editing can bring their efforts down. Luceno is the largest example of Literature's love of continuity overruling any semblence of coherence. Weird sentences, awkward positioning of scenes, and forgettable characters makes most of his bibliography forgettable save for Luceno's ability to land the important event novels as the Revenge of the Sith lead-in or The New Jedi Order's conclusion. Undercurrent, Luceno is the Star Wars equivlant of Knightfall for Batman. Golden can intuit emotion from her scenes despite her subpar writing. Compare Omen to Outcast. When Ben and Luke learn the Jacen Force ability of the novel Ben is able to Force walk back in time to see a younger, less baby murdering Jacen. Notice how Ben is sixteen, the same age Jacen was in Vector Prime. This is an excellent compare contrast of Darth Vader's grandsons. Too bad Golden did not have another draft to fix the prose holes. Stover utilizes techniques to bring his scenes too life. Present tense, a slight self-awareness of the Sam Jackson persona, rewriting Lucas' terrible dialogue, and the introduction of novel-in-the-novel are small examples of the tricks he uses to make his writing stands out. Most of his praise is deserved. Denning is excellent at scene construction. He also can use minor details as running motifs in his novels. Han's dislike of bugs is used to inform his characterization in Dark Nest instead of simply standing as a one-shot metafictional joke. Invincible is still a strong conclusion filled with nuggets of greatness too many people overlook. Denning's biggest weakness is that his subtleties probably goes over the head of most of the EU readership. Traviss is another very strong writer who has voice issues, and her novels are unfairly assailed by continuity fundamentalism. The point of "Odds" is not another argument over numbers. Finally, someone is recognizing the Clone Wars is not making sense. Triple Zero, Bloodlines, and Revelation are great tie-in novels with strong emotional cores. (For self-deprication purposes, I'll admit my bias towards a fellow journalist ) Gag, my brain hurts, and I have a job interview tomorrow. This hack needs sleep.
It's the Jedi Academy Trilogy, of course I like it, regardless of how terrible KJA is. Daala is a strange subject for me, just going by her background from the JAT she had a lot of potential that was terribly wasted. I mean, she's apparently a Imperial Naval Academy prodigy who can't get anywhere because she's a woman, she was literally put in the kitchen, and then her record breaking simulator performances are noticed by Tarkin and she sexes her way up to Admiral. There's so much that can be done with that, but instead she is put in a corner for over a decade and her big comeback is just a terribly stupid disaster.
its canon IG-88 was in control of the death star. Deal with it. seriously though, i agree that it didn't happen. It's one of my favourite self-contained short-stories, but works better when you assume it isn't canon and doesn't crap all over the defining moment in Star Wars.
Allston's unable to deeply inhabit his characters? Are we talking about the same Aaron Allston? His later novels have a lack of emotional impact? I'm assuming you have not read Mercy Kill.
I will forever dislike Stackpole for 2 things and not just the crappy dialogue and telegraphed and ridiculous story-lines. 1) Pretty much ruining the TIE fighter. When you have a few X-wings laying waste to them by the hundred's (with Corran it's the thousands) he wipes out any tension or interest whatsoever except for the mystery of how the Empire ever managed to achieve anything with such stupid death traps and ignores ANH (and any military logic for any army in history) where if Han hadn't come back the Rebels would have lost. Oh yeah he even has his other OC Baron Fel seen as a greater pilot than Vader WTF!!!! 2) Turning a throwaway line from ESB into a whole planet wide saying again WTF!!! I would be interested in your Allston reasons as I always enjoyed Star-fighters of Andumar and thought he was far superior to Stackpole for basically the same type of book. Yeah Luceno does a lot of referencing when he does not need to but I give him a pass for Cloak of Deception, which is a perfect example of what TPM was trying and failed to be. The guy writes a brilliant Palpatine lets be honest. Stover will always get points for his Revenge of the Sith book which was the EU equivalent of turning lead into gold. Plus Shatterpoint is great too. Good luck with your interview
The EU for me is constantly deteriorating in terms of quality. These are my complaints: First: Make the Big 3 talk like the Big 3 (For too long, people have forgotten how Han talks) Second: Stop name dropping brand new Jedi and giving them no backstory... I will like any answer that gives a quality answer. I expect more than Species and Gender. If you know lightsaber color, known master, distinguishing features, home planet, friendships within the order, something beyond the basic name drop... Now tell me about Barrak'tl, Tiu Zax, Kunor Bann, Turi Altamik, Seff Hellin, Radd Minker, Derek, Jayk, Rivai, Avinoam Arelis, Vaala Razelle, Yaqeel Saav'etu, or Sanola Ti.
The writing quality in EU occelates wildy. Stover is amazing. He could probably eat alphabet soup and defecate better prose than KJA. I'm also not really much of a fan of Stackpole and Zahn. They did a lot for Star Wars, I just always found their writing Bland. I also *gasp* have trouble getting into Luceno. I think the best regular author of the EU is Aaron Allston. However, I think some of his work suffers from him being one of the go to guys for everything and having to work within arcs. I really would like to see more Stover, Stewart, ect...because they really boost the quality of the EU. Their books make you feel like you're reading literature, not just a crappy fiction novel.
They do, but these people are still alive. The worst part is the fact that the most well developed character introduced within FotJ was Bazel Warv, who bites it early on. Plus Yaqeel and Kolir are both female bothans... what makes them any different. Kunor Bann, another human male. I pretend he is Korun to give a little Mace Windu diversity. Derek is Kyle Katarn's son in my mind. I wanted to explode when Denning just added 30 more Jedi Knights but only introduced 3 of them. If you are only going to mention Rivia and Jayk, then have Han and Leia bring 2 Jedi with them not 28 more that we have never met before. The only other semi developed characters within FotJ were Vestara, Seha Dorvald, and Bandy Geffer.
Yes! I remember loving that one (and also the IG-88 story that somebody mentioned). I'll have to go back and re-read to see if it holds up. I remember loving the end of that story - Han and Jaster Mereel/Boba Fett in a standoff, each ready to kill the other, THE END. Love it. Jaster's emotionality might not jive with his portrayal in the OT, but I'll take him over the cloned baby-Fett any day of the week. I was an obsessive reader/collector of Star Wars fiction from the time Heir to the Empire was released through the second or third NJO books. By that time I had become a student of literature, and had come to realize that most of the novels were poorly written. Even the ones I still like (and have not given away), such as Zahn's books, are very light on characterization and heavy on exposition. It's tough, though - I think a lot of the writers might have done a better job if they hadn't been subject to the restrictions of Lucasfilm licensing. That's how it goes when you write in somebody else's pre-existing universe. So it goes.
Barrak'tl: Yuzzem Jedi Council Member Tiu Zax: Omwati Female, Jedi Knight Infiltrator last seen Betrayal Kunor Bann: Human Male, Jedi Knight... Went crazy Turi Altimik: Human Female, Jedi Knight... Went Crazy Seff Hellin: Human Male, Jedi Knight... First to go crazy in MF... Vaala Razelle: Arcona Female Jedi Knight... Yaqeel Saav'etu: Bothan Female Jedi Knight... Part of "the Unit" with the Horns and Bazel Warv Sanola Ti: Human Female Jedi niece of Kiranna Ti Radd Minker: Brubb Jedi Male... Derek, literally had one mention as in a gunner turret on the falcon in the last book of LotF as Derek: senior apprentice Jayk and Rivai were 2 of the 30 Jedi knighted during Apocolypse with no background or need Avinoam Arelis, Human Jedi Male, Curly Blonde Hair... Then you have Bandy Geffer, Seha Dorvald, Kolir Hu'lya... ect...
I keep wondering what happened to her when I read the names of random Jedi. She seemed like an interesting character in her first appearance and I was looking forward to seeing more of her.
Tiu Zax... I imagine her as become the master infiltrator, the reason you don't see her is she doesn't want to be seen. She is the new "Mara" when it comes to sneaking...
Je te donne une gin. I perused Mercy Kill at the Emporia Kansas Public Library due to my massive late fines from a failure to return Iron Man, House of Leaves, and a World War One documentary on time. Allston consistently informs the reader of this character's fault instead of showing. Take Fury. "I am Darth Caedus, and I now find Anakin Solo to be an annoying brat. " A key centerpoint of Jacen's descent into darkness is the prostitution of his martyred brother's legacy. In Traitor, Jacen shows great sadness over Anakin's death. By Tempest, Jacen names his personal goon squad Star Destroyer after the dead brother. Next, Inferno has Jacen manipulating the memories of Anakin's squeeze- on the day Anakin died, a great little point- to gain his Sith sidekick. Why is Allston delegating an important part of the transfiguration of Jacen's soul to a throw away line? Jacen ends up dying in the trash hold of Anakin Solo. Yes, Jacen dies in the poop deck created by his spin driven interpretation and appropriation of his dead brother. Why Allston's halfbaked drafts are not thrown back to the writing group is perplexing. @ Fett 4. Merci. I'll e-mail them to you tomorrow.
It's a mixed bag but there's some seriously good pulp in there. Zahn, Stover and Luceno are rock solid genre authors. But it gets the job done.
Honestly, I just don't think it's a matter of quality, but whether different fans liked to see the direction of the books are/were taking SW. That and whether their favorite characters made it and are developing along their hopes. Everything is swell in term of genuine story quality. The sole exception is Darksaber by Kevin J Anderson. It read like a bad fanfic. Honestly it's one of the reasons that I started writing fanfiction.
One of my biggest pet peeves is when it is obvious that an author is writing off of their outline. Now almost all author's use an outline, but some don't seem to be able to convert it to prose well. For example an author will have a character make a statement. Then the character will back up their statement with a list. Many times they will actually say, "First, blah blah blah. Second, blah blah blah, Third, Blah blah blah", etc. Michael Stackpole, as much as I love his books, does this all the time. So does Alston and Denning. Just kind of annoying.
I love Trevas's artwork, and I like this pic, but the obvious usage of photomanipulation really bugs me.

North Carolina High School lacrosse is starting to get the recognition it deserves. In fact, for the first time in the sport's history, lacrosse was sanctioned as s high school sport by the N.C. High School Athletic Association. After building through club teams for some time, several Lake Norman area teams had already established themselves amongst the Charlotte-area's best. This season, Lake Norman High School again was the best team from the area, sweeping North Meck, Hopewell and Lake Norman Charter in the regular season to win the conference 10 title. Then, the Wildcats advanced to the second round of the 4A state playoffs before falling to eventual state champion, Myers Park. Lake Norman lacrosse coach Kevin Gowan helped the Wildcats improve from a 7-2 in 2009 to 15-3 this season, with their only losses coming to (2009) defending state champion, Providence, and twice to state champion (2010) Myers Park. "I think our improvement has been gradual because a lot of kids are now growing up playing lacrosse," Gowan said. "I a lot of kids play lacrosse year-round and we have a made big strides because of that." Coach of the Year: Kevin Gowan, Lake Norman – Kevin Gowan is used to winning and winning big. Now, Gowan, who was a member of the 2002 and 2004 National Championship lacrosse teams at Syracuse, is bring that same success to Lake Norman. This year, Gowan led the Wildcats to a 15-3 mark, including a perfect 8-0 in conference 10 play. The Wildcats beat Mount Tabor in first round of the playoffs, before losing to eventual state champion Myers Park by only one goal. The future should be even brighter with Gowan boasting 19 underclassmen on this year's team and only two seniors. "I think we have a lot to look forward to (for Lake Norman lacrosse)," Gowan said, who also coaches for Lake Norman lacrosse's club teams. "Really, we are just getting started here, and finally being able to put together a (sanctioned) high school program." Player of the Year: Danny Brown, Lake Norman – Danny Brown is only a sophomore. But this year, the second year varsity attacker, played far beyond his years netting 45 goals while dishing out 30 assists. Brown led a potent Wildcat offense that produced 228 goals in 18 games, an average of over 12 scores per contest. "(Danny) just a has a knack for the game," Gowan said. "He's still so young, I think he is just going to get better and better in the next few years." All Lake Norman News Lacrosse Team Attack - Danny Brown, Lake Norman…led Wildcats with 45 goals on the season. Attack - Max Copeland, Lake Norman…with Brown added to potent offense with 44 goals. Attack - Patrick Hennigan, Cannon…led the Cougars with 55 goals and 52 assists. Attack - Chris Ahern, North Meck…Vikings top threat scored 26 goals. Mid - Charles Copeland, Lake Norman…steady player controlled the middle for Wildcats. Mid - Kendall Moore, North Meck…multi-dimension player also plays the attack for Vikings. Mid - Grayson Spittel, Lake Norman Charter…multi-talented player has Knights on right path. Mid – Andrew Gobble, Lake Norman Charter…can play up front just as effectively. LSM/Def – Patrick Wurtz, Lake Norman…makes a big difference on defensive end. LSM/Def – Brian Policke, North Meck…uses long stick well to make Vikings defense tougher. Def - Kyle Gradert, Lake Norman…freshman already best defender on a stingy unit. Def – Kevin Hart, Hopewell…rugged defender also a standout on Titan football team. GK - Justin Parks, Hopewell…all-conference goalie helped keep Titans in games.

Samurai Jack Intro - Remake Latino
Samurai Jack Opening remake by latin animators

This movie is a real eye opener.
While Adambomb's works usually touch humanitarian issues in America, this flash is a refreshing departure into the field which concerns all the people in the world - our dwindling environment.
In this movie, we see a sad, lonely, little monkey moving frantically around the screen who was deprived of its environment and family to care for him. In the background plays a sad but uplifting violin tune composed by Beethoven, shortly interrupted by an unknown, barely audible voice which wonders what is happening to it. Could it be the voice of the monkey's soul? Could it be that the author is trying to say that animals have feelings too? This flash is the perfect example of how a flash work could be freely interpreted by its audience in many ways, but the sight of a cute monkey bouncing around the screen would undoubtedly melt even the stoutest of hearts.
Not good
I left a horribly short review last time that i truly apologize for. This was pretty simple though, you didn't have much for the viewer to look at but a monkey sucking his finger picture and the echoing audio was alittle annoying but still was funny. The premise of the flash based on the title was hilarious but was kinda expected. I would have liked to have seen the image of the monkey drawn by you instead of just a photo and maybe a background would add to the effect.
If I were a flash movie............
If I were a flash movie my wish would be that Adambomb made me so that I too would know what it is like to aspire to greatness and be unrivaled for all eternity. Thank for such a wonderful film.
I think that to many perverts are to upset about not seeing someone in skimpy clothing. I think this was hilarious. I was sitting here with my girlfriend (who is a Spears fan) and figured i would let her choose one. Well she got a monkey. The look on her face was wonderful. I think that the author should be respected not cut down for his origiality. I thank you.
what the hell was that?
What does this have to do with Britney Spears?
