A Serendipitous Supernova
Serendipity is a fancy word for a happy accident. It appears that our solar system may owe its existence – and by extension humans may owe our existence – to an incredible serendipitous event. Scientists have found that a supernova exploded at just the right time in the birth of our solar system.
Why It Matters
Our solar system was born about 4.6 billion years ago. How can scientists learn about something that happened so long ago? Most meteorites formed during the birth of our solar system. Many meteorites contain evidence of the presence of iron-60 (Fe-60). This radioactive isotope only forms from the incredible energy released in a supernova explosion. The presence of the Fe-60 in the meteorites means that a supernova happened in our neighborhood of the galaxy. This must have occurred not too long before the solar system was born. But did the supernova play another role? Could the energy from the supernova shock wave have caused the sun and planets to form? The exploration of this question is a good example of how science works.

Thank you Hasbro for improving quality and providing variety over the years. You've come along way since the muscle bound Luke in 1995.
There have been some wonderful figures made since then, but, due to lack of accuracy in detail, I chose not to buy them.
For example, the Bespin Security Guard was well proportioned. However, his jacket was open. Why would sculpters do that if the character was never seen that way?
Secondly, I would love to see a properly scaled Chewbacca. One who truly towers over other figures as he does in the movies. I think you've received similar feedback in other forums. The 25th Anniversary version was a step in the right direction, but, he was not upright and his crossbow was inaccurate (the bow faced out instead of in). As a result, I did not buy this set either.
Another note about the Han / Chewy set is that all the Hans I saw had a crack around his neck that looked like poor quality moulding. With current technolgy, this should be unacceptable.
The latest Bespin Han is a great figure, especially with the functional holster. Hasbro, I hope we see more functional holsters. However, the weapon was so flimsy, it could not be held in Han's hand withoout the aid of a rubberband. I realized this after taking the band off. I also noticed it had scarred Han's hand permanently which reflects the quality of material. A play feature is to put the gun in the holster and then have him hold it in his hand. The latter can't be done without having to reinstall the cumbersome rubber band. One would lose interest - what a waste of a good figure, all because of the weapon, or cheap hand.
You've made some great figures over the years. I particularly like the Scout Trooper, Bo Shek and Removable Helmet Darth. My only complaint with Darth, is that he too is not to scale. MAKE HIM TALLER so he can tower over the other figures as he does in the movie.
Thanks for reading Hasbro and may this feedback be constructive for you and be addressed.

When it comes to 6 episode OVA series (pretty much just FLCL and Diebuster), I just let people use the full thing. Doesn't make much sense to say you can use all but 1 episode. If the person they're going against is using a longer series, they're allowed to go with 6 episodes as well.

On Ebert & Roeper last night, the dynamic duo of cinematic thumb-thrusting touted the new Men In Black deluxe DVD 2-disc set for all its features. However, every single feature they were touting was on the ORIGINAL non-deluxe MIB DVD released a while back - features including the "MST3k-style" commentary, the special-effects multi-layer feature, and a few other goodies. The new 2-disc set has at least one extra the first didn't, I noticed a new special-effect multi-layer feature scene, but there seemed to be nothing so outstanding about this set that wasn't on the original disc. In fact, this new set seems to primarily add only a couple preview pieces for the upcoming MIB2 movie - big whoop.
My point is, usually when a movie goes and does this "Deluxe DVD" crap, it's at least adding features to the original DVD which had few or none; but the original MIB disc seems to have nearly everything this 2-disc set does except promotional material for the sequel. Is there more that I'm missing that makes this worth talking about?

Anyway, fun new (to me) Debian utilities are apt-proxy and apt-spy. Apt-proxy is working happily on my home-office mini-network now and I'm playing with apt-spy.
Was invited to submit a followup proposal for my education project, writing it up now.
Also trying out a advogato ruby post script -- fun.

Positive Disintegration
Adapted from Coming Back to Life
Dangers to their survival move living systems to evolve. When feedback tells them--and continues to tell them--that their old forms and behaviors have become dysfunctional, they respond by changing. They adapt to such challenges by seeking and incorporating more appropriate norms. They search for values and goals which allow them to navigate in more varied conditions, with wider connections. Since its norms are the system's internal code or orga-nizing principle, this process--which Ervin Laszlo calls "exploratory self-reorganization"--is a kind of temporary limbo. To the mind it can be very disorienting. Psychiatrist Kazimierz Dabrowski names "positive disintegration." It can feel like dying.
In periods of major cultural transition, the experience of positive disintegration is widespread. Such is the case now for us in this time of Great Turning. Everywhere anomalies appear: developments that don't fit our expectations, or in systems terms, that don't match previously programmed codes and constructs. Bereft of self-confidence and old coping strategies, we may feel that we and our world are falling apart. Sometimes we panic or shut down; sometimes in desperation we get mean and turn on each other.
It helps to recall that in the course of our planetary journey we have gone through positive disintegration countless times. The life living through us repeatedly died to old forms and old ways. We know this dying in the splitting of the stars, the cracking open of seeds in the soil, the relinquishment of gills and fins as we crawled onto dry land. Our evolution attests to this, and so does our present lifetime, as we learned to move beyond the safeties and dependencies of childhood. It is never easy. Some of the uglier aspects of human behavior today arise from fear of the wholesale changes we must now undergo.
To let ourselves feel anguish and disorientation as we open our awareness to global suffering is a part of our spiritual ripening. Mystics speak of the "dark night of the soul." Brave enough to let go of accustomed assurances and allow old mental comforts and conformities to fall away, they stand naked to the unknown. They let processes which their minds could not encompass work through them. Out of darkness, the new is born.

| With awards season upon us, the movie studios are breaking out the big guns, treating audiences to their finest films. There's truly something for everybody: the epic movie-musical "Les Misérables"—with Anne Hathaway's gut-wrenching performance; Judd Apatow's new comedy "This Is 40"; Peter Jackson's return to the Shire in "The Lord of the Rings" prequel "The Hobbit"; and "Zero Dark Thirty", a film chronicling the decade-long hunt for Osama bin Laden, directed by "The Hurt Locker's" Kathryn Bigelow. Check out the most anticipated films this holiday season.

| In "Hyde Park on Hudson", the incomparable Bill Murray delivers a splendid performance as iconic President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Directed by Roger Michell ("Notting Hill"), this beautifully lensed parlor drama centers on, first and foremost, FDR's critical meeting with King George VI (Samuel West) and his wife, Queen Elizabeth (Olivia Colman), at the president's country estate in Hyde Park, N.Y., on the eve of World War II. The second, less captivating thread concerns the randy, wheelchair-bound president's love affair with his fifth cousin Margaret Suckley, played by Laura Linney. Despite some narrative deficiencies, as well as suffering from some "The King's Speech" déjà vu, Michell's film is worth the price of admission for Murray, who deftly channels FDR—in particular, his droll sense of humor.

| Filmmaker Peter Jackson's last trip to the Shire, 2003's "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", won all 11 Academy Awards it was nominated for, including Best Picture. Now he's returned for another movie trilogy based on "The Lord of the Rings'" prequel novel "The Hobbit". The first in a series that will be released in three consecutive years, is "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey", centered on Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), a hobbit who is hired by the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) to lead a fellowship of 13 dwarves against the evil dragon Smaug. In addition to McKellenn, several of the other actors from the "LOTR" trilogy are reprising their roles, including Andy Serkis, Hugo Weaving, Cate Blanchett, Elijah Wood, and Orlando Bloom. Will lightning strike again?

| This based-on-a-true-story film stars Alan Cumming and Garret Dillahunt as a gay couple in the 1970s who take in a teenager afflicted with Down syndrome (Isaac Leyva) after he's abandoned by his mother. They become the family he never had—that is, until the authorities catch wind of their "atypical" family environment, resulting in an exhaustive legal fight to retain custody of the adopted son they love. The timely film won the Audience Awards at the Tribeca, Chicago, and Woodstock Film Festivals and has received near-universal praise from critics.

| Director Kathryn Bigelow and writer Mark Boal's follow-up to their Oscar-winning film, "The Hurt Locker", is one of the most anticipated movies of the year, and has already been crowned Best Picture by numerous awards groups, including the National Board of Review and the New York Film Critics Circle. The film chronicles the decade-long hunt for Osama bin Laden through the eyes of Maya (Jessica Chastain), a ballsy CIA operative obsessed with finding the mastermind behind 9/11. "Zero Dark Thirty" not only is one of the best films of the year—and features one of the year's most badass silver-screen heroines in Maya—but a journalistic triumph as well.

| Directed by rom-com guru Anne Fletcher, the filmmaker behind the underrated hits "27 Dresses" and "The Proposal", this road-trip comedy follows Andy Brewster (Seth Rogen), a budding inventor who goes on a cross-country road trip hawking his latest product. In an act of charity, he decides to bring along his single mother, played by the inimitable Barbra Streisand, to give her something to do and possibly reunite her with a former flame. The dynamic duo, naturally, hit many strange bumps along the way.

| German-Austrian auteur Michael Haneke has built a solid reputation for his mesmerizing, grim sagas like "The Piano Teacher" and "The White Ribbon", but he exhibits a lighter touch with "Amour". The film follows an elderly couple, Anne (Emmanuelle Riva) and Georges (Jean-Louis Trintignant), a pair of retired music teachers living in Paris. When Anne suffers a terrible stroke that leaves her paralyzed, Georges is forced into the role of doting caretaker, struggling to make his great love's final days as painless as possible. The film won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, was selected as the Austrian entry for the Best Foreign Film Oscar, and may be the first foreign-language film to be nominated for the Best Picture Oscar since 2006's "Letters From Iwo Jima".

| Like Peter Jackson ("The Hobbit") before him, comedy filmmaking guru Judd Apatow has decided to return to the well with this spinoff to his 2007 critical and commercial hit, "Knocked Up". The dramedy follows Debbie (Apatow's real-life wife, Leslie Mann) and Pete (Paul Rudd) as they struggle with their marriage and family (the two daughters are played by Apatow's real-life daughters, Maude and Iris) after turning 40. The film also boasts a rich supporting cast, including John Lithgow, Albert Brooks, Jason Segel, Melissa McCarthy, Lena Dunham, and Chris O'Dowd.

| Spanish filmmaker Juan Antonio Bayona's ("The Orphanage") latest film tells the true story of a family's harrowing experience during the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami (the family, however, has been changed from Spanish to British). The couple, played by Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor, along with their three young sons, are spending their Christmas vacation in Thailand when, on the morning of Dec. 26, 2004, a tsunami destroys their resort and separates the family. This is one of the best disaster films ever made—the tsunami sequences are absolutely jaw-dropping—and the film is beautifully shot. But it's the performances, especially by Watts and newcomer Tom Holland as the family's eldest child, Lucas, that make "The Impossible" one of the best films of the year.

| After winning the Best Director Oscar—along with Best Picture—for "The King's Speech", filmmaker Tom Hooper decided to follow that triumph up by adapting one of the greatest musicals of all time, "Les Misérables". The film tells the epic story of Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman), a man sentenced to 19 years in prison for stealing a loaf of bread. He flees parole and remakes himself, but is doggedly pursued by his former prison supervisor, Inspector Javert (Russell Crowe)—all while raising Cosette (Amanda Seyfried), the bastard child of Fantine (Anne Hathaway), a fallen woman. Hooper's decision to have his game cast sing all the songs live pays off. The musical numbers soar and the performances are stellar across the board in what has emerged as one of the front-runners for the Best Picture Oscar.

Use of Meeting Rooms/Library Facilities
Approved by the Board of Trustees on 9/21/2010
Statement of Principle:
The Dauphin County Library System is a limited public forum and provides meeting room space for library system programs and for other meetings and programs of an informational, educational, cultural, business or civic nature. All groups, not-for-profit and for-profit, are invited to apply for use of the library system's meeting rooms.
Dauphin County Library System subscribes to the principles set forth in the American Library Association Library Bill of Rights as reaffirmed January 23, 1996.
The Dauphin County Library System provides meeting room space as a public service but does not endorse the view or opinions of groups utilizing these facilities.
Meetings held in the libraries are considered public meetings and open to all wishing to attend, subject to health and safety requirements of the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry for public gatherings. A schedule of meeting room bookings is posted publicly.
Meeting Room Privileges:
Organizations not fulfilling their obligations as stated in this and other library system policies and procedures may be denied use of the library's meeting room facilities until such time as these obligations have been met to the library system's satisfaction.
Available Meeting Rooms and Maximum Occupancy
Scheduling a Meeting Room:
1. The group or individual desiring to use the meeting rooms must complete an application form available online or in the library. Applicants must be adults age 18 and over, be a resident within the Dauphin County service area (excluding Hershey and Middletown service areas), and have a library card with the Dauphin County Library System. The application should contain complete information about the nature and specific content of the program. The library reserves the right to turn down incomplete applications and programs that are not in keeping with the policies of the library.
2. A group composed of minors (less than eighteen years of age) must have an adult chaperone attend the meeting.
3. Meetings may be scheduled up to four months at a time, in trimesters from January 1 to April 30, May 1 to August 31, and from September 1 through December 30 of each calendar year. Applications and room requests are taken one month before the start of the trimester. After the initial booking period, organizations may reserve meeting rooms for times still available on a first-come, first-served basis. The Library typically contacts the group within 7 working days confirming or denying the request.
4. In the event that a meeting is cancelled, the library must be notified 24 hours in advance or as soon as possible so that the space may be made available to others. If the group or individual wishes to use a different room at the East Shore Area Library or the William H. & Marion C. Alexander Family Library than the one assigned, they must request a change from staff.
5. The library system reserves the right to schedule and alter room assignments according to the library system's needs. If the library cancels or changes the use of a meeting room, the library staff will notify the group or individual as soon as possible.
6. Repeated use of meeting room and library facilities is limited to twice a month system-wide, to allow all members of the community the opportunity to use the facilities. Written permission from the Public Services Director is required for use of the facilities with greater frequency or for consecutive days.
7. Displays may not be affixed directly to the walls of the meeting room without prior consent. Library fixtures may not be removed from the walls.
8. Meeting room users are responsible for carrying their own supplies and operating equipment they use.
9. The library is not responsible for equipment or materials owned by a community group and used in the library. No storage space is available.
10. All advertisements, announcements, press releases, flyers, etc. relating to meetings must clearly state the meeting is not sponsored by the Dauphin County Library System.
11. Displays, posters, and literature connected with a meeting may not be placed anywhere in the Library except in the Meeting Room while the meeting is taking place except with written permission of the library manager. With the permission of the Library manager, a flyer advertising the meeting may be placed on a community bulletin board.
12. The use of the name, address, or telephone number of the Dauphin County Library System or any of its library locations as the address or headquarters of any group using the library for meetings is prohibited.
Meeting Hours:
The time of the program must correspond to the hours the library is open to the public, and the group or individual must vacate the meeting room by the library's closing time. An exception is made for programs directly related to the library (Friends meetings, library committee meetings, etc.). Library staff must be in the building for such exceptions.
Eligible Meeting Room Users:
In general, groups are prioritized in the following order when there are conflicting requests for rooms:
1. Library and Friends of Library Programs – which involve efforts of library staff.
Due to insurance considerations, exercise programs and classes may not be held in library meeting rooms. An adult 18 or over must be present for all meetings.
Meeting Room Fees and Sales in a Meeting Room:
The use of meeting rooms is free of charge as long as the meetings or programs are open to the public, are free of charge, and do not generate revenue. If revenue is generated, the fee for each meeting room used or reserved is $40 per hour per room (at the East Shore Area Library, Rooms A & B combined have a fee of $60 per hour. At the William H. & Marion C. Alexander Family library Room A & B combined have a fee of $60 per hour). Revenue is defined as proceeds from sales, admission or attendance fees, or tuition by a non-profit, for-profit, or governmental organization, group, or agency. This includes "free" educational programs which intend to generate future revenues for the presenter(s).
An exception is made for profit-making endeavors held for the benefit of the library. An organization or individual wishing to charge a fee or to sell items or services for the benefit of the library must obtain written permission from the Executive Director before such an event occurs.
No reservation is final until payment is received. Payment is requested one week prior to use of room.
The East Shore Area Library and the William H. & Marion C. Alexander Family Library have kitchenettes available for use by organization for a $10 fee. Kitchenettes are supplied with an oven, stove, refrigerator, sink, and microwave (coffee pot at AFL). Groups serving food and/or beverages must provide their own dishes, cups, utensils, and napkins. All groups using library kitchen equipment are responsible for cleaning it up.
Furniture Arrangement:
The library has chairs and tables available. The organization handles its own room setup and may arrange furnishings as needed, as long as the furnishings are not at risk of damage. Rooms must be rearranged prior to leaving according to posted instructions. Walls may not be used for mounting or hanging pictures, displays, posters, etc.
Audiovisual Equipment:
A limited number of audiovisual devices, such as video players and overhead projectors, may be available from the library. They must be reserved at least two weeks ahead of the meeting. Contact the library for details.
Clean Up and Damage:
The sponsoring group or individual making application for use of facilities assumes all responsibility for damage to library property and for leaving the premises in the condition in which they were found, including the arrangement of furnishings and the cleanup of trash. A minimum $30 fee will be assessed for excessive cleanup as determined by DCLS staff or if a room is not vacated by the scheduled time. Damage to the facility will be billed to the group or individual responsible for the room and could result in restriction from further use.

Troupe presents 'Measure for Measure,' April 26-28
Posted April 19, 2007; 06:18 p.m.
The Princeton Shakespeare Company will present a re-imagined production of "Measure for Measure" set in the Roaring '20s Thursday through Saturday, April 26-28, in the Frist Campus Center Film and Performance Theater.
Performances are at 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and at 2 and 8 p.m. Saturday.
In this new adaptation, Shakespeare's classic comedy about nuns, friars and politicians is recast in a world of flappers, speakeasies and Prohibition. With the new setting come several new jazz music and swing dance numbers. Yet the company preserves some of Shakespeare's best bawdy comedy and the play's captivating moral dilemma.
Sophomore Lauren Whitehead will direct the show.
Tickets are $8 for general admission, $6 for college students and for those with a Passport for the Arts, and $3 for high school students. They are available online through University Ticketing or at the Frist box office.

Washburn made a big impression at a recent scientific conference, bringing home three of its Top 10 student awards and the only one presented to a faculty member.
In all, about 90 students from 10 universities displayed posters and explained their research at the conference of the Kansas-IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (K-INBRE) in Manhattan late last month. Among the participants were nine Washburn students.
Three of them, Bonnie McKee, Matt Rush and Corey Suelter, received awards of excellence for their research. McKee and Rush work with faculty mentor Sam Leung, professor of chemistry. Suelter works with Andrew Herbig, assistant professor of biology.
McKee, a junior from Abilene who is majoring in chemistry and biology, worked full time for eight weeks during the summer studying whether manipulating the structure of a porphyrin could advance treatment of skin disorders, including skin cancer.
"The long-term goal is to create a better molecule to be used in photodynamic therapy," Mckee said. "I made an important piece of the puzzle. That piece has a very important bond to something. That something is the thing we can change."
Rush, a senior chemistry major from Topeka, works on oxophlorins, a family of compounds also related to treatment of skin conditions.
"The currently used (drugs) are only effective on the very surface of the skin," Rush said. "If we can create a compound that is affected deeper it will be more effective in treatment."
Suelter, a senior biology major from Topeka, is studying a bacterium called Bacillus subtilis and how it transports magnesium throughout the body.
"We're studying a cousin to a couple of really bad human pathogens," Suelter said. "We can work with the safe one while still learning about the harmful ones."
Washburn's Janice Barton, professor emeritus of Chemistry, received the Joan S. Hunt Distinguished Mentor award at the conference in recognition of her work "fostering the intellectual, creative, scholarly and professional grown of mentees," sustained commitment to those mentees.
In addition to McKee, Rush and Suelter, participating Washburn students were Teresa Chui, Jenna Frick, Christian Gomez, Clair Hopps, Corole Jontra and Kyle Schmidt. The other mentors involved were mentored by Seid Adem, Matt Arterburn, Janice Barton, Susan Bjerke and Shaun Schmidt.
Rush and Suelter presented at the same conference last year. McKee presented her work for the first time. All three said they were surprised they received awards and said they plan to participate in future conferences, including Washburn's Apeiron.
"It's unusual that undergraduates get to do so much research," Rush said. "We spend 100s of hours working in the field, doing hands-on work to grow the body of knowledge in our field."

Urban Entrepreneurs – Queen Kat Designs
A shiny new installment of Urban Entrepreneurs today, where we feature sellers of any kind who have decided to take the plunge (with the help of some UT designs) and start their own small biz. We have a very special small biz owner today, to show us that you don't need to get into embroidery to appreciate offbeat designs… Queen Kat Designs!
Vicki has taken the plunge into small business ownership, and instead of embroidery, has created a whole business around stamps! She's used many Urban Threads designs and translated them into beautiful inked creations, perfect for scrapbooking and more. She shares with us today some of the creations she's made from her line of UT stamps, and talks a little about what it's like going into this unique industry.
What started you into stamps and this kind of work?
Well… I kind of fell into it, so to speak. I have been stamping and doing paper crafts for almost 20 years. I started as a home party consultant for a stamp company back in 2004. Then I was hit with "you need a business license to do that" so I said OK, I'm going to open my own scrapbook store online!
I quit my consultant job and opened a store in August 2005. Then in the fall of 2006 I was experimenting with ideas and things so I could quit my corporate job and do something I loved. I fell into making clear photopolymer stamps and released my line on November 19, 2006. It's all been a whirlwind since then.
What kind of process goes into creating a stamp?
It's a big undertaking if you ask me… but it's quite fun. I work with world renowned artists who contribute art to me for stamps as well as the wonderful designs at Urban Threads by Niamh and the gang! I take that art and use my handy dandy new laser etching machine to make the rubber stamps. I switched from clear polymer stamps to blue rubber stamps in May 2010. I work with a few programs on the computer and the laser does the "hard work" of making the stamp.
Where did you first find Urban Threads?
Ooo good question! I was surfing around a craft site and saw an ad that was placed. And it's all been downhill for my bank account since then. I'm totally addicted to the designs that are offered through Urban Threads.
Describe your shop for us. What do you offer?
In my shop, Queen Kat Designs, I offer un-mounted rubber stamps for card making and scrapbooking. There you can find grab bags, stamp sets and single stamps as well as monthly kits that you can subscribe to.
What made you take the plunge into starting your own business?
Honestly? I was sick of getting up early in the morning and scraping snow off my truck to go into a job that really didn't appeal to me and didn't value my knowledge. I come from a long line of self starting business people so it was only fitting that I follow in their footsteps. My grandparents owned and operated a gun store and my father owned and operated a machine shop.
What's the biggest lesson you've learned since you began?
The biggest lesson… There are so many but I'd say the biggest would be… trust your gut. Nothing is as it seems and if the gut says run, then run. Whether it's to run with an idea or run from something that smells bad, trust your FIRST instinct, it won't lead you down the wrong path.
Where would you like to see your shop in one year?
I would love to be able to exhibit at a large convention like Fairy Con or Dragon Con.. But honestly in this economy I would like to be where I am now and steadily growing. I was just able to move my business from my home to its own little one room office and that was a huge step for me. Onwards and upwards!
I just love seeing what crazy and creative endeavours people come up with using UT designs. I never would have thought of stamps, but seeing these, man I want one! I think my favorite might be that top "Ruler of All I Survey" skull design. I'd stamp that on everything.
It just goes to show, all you need to start a business is a great product, some good design, and a little gusto. Cheers to you, Vicki, and happy stamping!

Dried and fresh cranberries are simmered in Port for a not-too-sweet, grown-up take on the classic.
Leave a Review
Fantastic and easy to make! Since I have found this recipe I make it every Thanksgiving!
Definitely a keeper. Has anyone tried brown sugar, instead of white? Didn't know if that would make it too sweet.
I love this recipe as is and as a basis for experimentation. I've played with this recipe a lot--subbing out the port for other liquors, adding pomegranate juice or apple juice instead of water. It's fantastic either way.
Complex and sophisticated flavors. Have made this several times over the years for Thanksgiving. No modifications necessary.
Very easy, but needed a lttle extra oomph in my opinion. After following the recipe, I added honey, ground cloves and cardamom (yummy addition), a little sea salt, with more port and orange juice at the finish. I subbed OJ for water as well and didn't use the dried cranbarries as I didn't have any on hand. Speaking of cranberries, wear an apron or be very careful,the juice stains fabric and wood surfaces.
The first time I made this, I used apple cider and made it the day before thanksgiving. I had to run back to the store to buy more cranberries because we "nibbled" so much of it that night we wouldn't have enough for the next day! I'm giving it 4 forks for taste and for ease of preparation. I've now tried both the apple cider instead of the water or the orange juice instead, and honestly, each a different, subtle treat. At Christmas, I plan on trying the dried cherries instead of the dried cranberries.
I make this sauce every year and it's consistantly delicious. This year I substitued Ruby Port for an Elderbery Cordial made by Caledonia Spirits located in Vermont. The cordial is sweet like a ruby port but with better flavor. The rest of the recipe I follow as stated. I don't add the dried cherries because I think the sauce gets too sweet (I tried that a couple of times). I only add 1/2 the amount of sugar and add as I go along.
I have made this recipe every year for the past 4 years and every year it gets lots of compliments. A very nice balance of sweet, tart and spice and super easy to make.
Been making this for years now - its become a family traddition! Excellant!
Really enjoyed this recipe. It was easy, basic and delicious. For thanksgiving leftovers, I actually ended up adding blueberries and using it as a spread for rolls and toast. So good!

UBS believes Las Vegas Sands (LVS) can capture 40% of any incremental mass market in Macau if the company shifts its resources away from VIP gaming to the premium mass market.
One concern with the mass market is that visitors are more sensitive to China's macroeconomic cycles. They may stop visiting if the economy is not doing well. So far, it has not been the case. Here are UBS analysts Robin M. Farley and Arpine Kocharyan:
We note that despite macro economic concerns in H1'13, Macau mass market has been largely insulated from a slowdown, supported by still underpenetrated Chinese middle-class demand for gaming and quite strong outbound tourism trends in the first half of this year, in line with mass growth trends in Macau. Excluding Japan (due to political tensions), Chinese outbound visitations to some of the major Asian destinations in H1'13 were up +45% YOY. Macau received 3.1 million mainland Chinese hotel guests in H1'13, roughly +22% higher YOY.
The analysts estimate that the mass market revenue will grow in mid-teen-digits whereas VIP and slot revenue will be growing in single-digits only in the next three years.
If only Las Vegas Sands shift their high-end VIP tables at Four Seasons and Sands Macau to premium mass markets, UBS thinks it can substantially improve yields:
LVS' Four Seasons and Sands Macao properties are the lowest yielding among the 6 concessionaries, with VIP yields in the $2k in EBITDA range per table per day. We believe LVS has significantly reduced VIP capacity at Sands Macao to roughly 105 tables in the first half of 2013 from about 140 tables a year ago. We expect to see further re-allocation of tables to mass from VIP at Four Seasons which has all the required qualities as an asset to be well positioned for the high end premium mass market. We could also see further re-allocation of tables from Sands Macao to Four Seasons. We expect to see 90-100 mass tables on average at Four Seasons in 2014 vs. roughly 50 in H1'13, while the number of VIP tables could go down to 65-70 from 100 tables in the first half of this year.
And capture new mass market visitors:
We expect LVS to capture 42% and 39% of any incremental mass growth in Macau in 2014 and 2015, respectively. We believe LVS is best positioned to capture upside from under-yielding assets as the company has a large inventory of hotel rooms that could capture a large part of mass growth in both 2014 and 2015.
If Las Vegas Sands follow UBS's mass market recommendation, the broker thinks the stock will be worth $68 per share, up almost 10% from $63, where it currently trades. UBS has a Buy recommendation on this stock.

| Even if you're in the big white dress. Even if Pachelbel's Canon is playing and necks are craning in anticipation of your walk down the aisle. If you know in your bones that saying "I do" will be a colossal mistake, turn on your dyed-to-match stilettos and walk the other way -- fast.
Yes, it will be the hardest thing you've ever done. But you owe it to yourself and your wannabe spouse to yank the emergency brake if you want out. Sure, you may forfeit some of your deposits and you'll have to answer some tough questions about your change of heart, but bailing on a wedding ultimately costs less pain and money than filing for divorce, says psychologist Elizabeth Lombardo, Ph.D., author of "A Happy You: Your Ultimate Prescription for Happiness."

| You may be tempted to take the coward's way out by sending your fiancé a "Can't do it. So sorry," text, but it's a major faux pas, says Anna Post, great-great-granddaughter of etiquette maven Emily Post and author of the sixth edition of "Emily Post's Wedding Etiquette."
"If you've been in a relationship with someone, they deserve to hear the news face-to-face in real time," says Post. "A two-way conversation, by phone or video chat if it's not possible to speak in person, pays respect to that person's voice in the relationship, even if you won't be changing your mind about the breakup."

| Brace yourself: Odds are the talk won't be pretty, but be kind, sensitive and direct. Trying to cushion the blow by dancing around the issue just makes things worse, says Miami Marriage and Family Therapist Lisa Paz, Ph.D. "You're about to shatter someone's world, so rip the bandage off fast," says Paz. "Tell him, 'I made a mistake. I am terribly sorry.'" And don't keep the possibility open that you might change your mind. You'll only break his heart all over again.

| Remember that old playground rhyme? Count on your fiancé having some choice words about you breaking off the engagement. You'll get through it easier if you allow the anger to bounce off you without reacting to it. Unless his actions precipitated the break -- you caught him cheating or discovered a serious drug problem for instance -- he's going to be justified in his hurt and anger. So let him rant.
"Don't react and don't personalize what he's saying," says Lombardo. "Accept that he's upset. Trying to convince him that he's wrong to feel what he's feeling isn't going to help matters."

| Facebook and Twitter are fabulous tools for mass communication, and if you've set up a wedding page for your event posting a cancellation notice there is fine. But you also need to reach out to your guests individually as a sign of respect. Also, not everyone is constantly logged into Facebook or Twitter so you need to make sure they get the message.
"A Facebook announcement is just too impersonal for people who are spending a lot of money to come to your wedding," says Post. That's not to say you have to take on the Herculean task of contacting everyone yourself. Enlist your bridesmaids and your parents to help contact guests on your behalf (as well as your wedding vendors). And while you ought to call your closest friends and family, personal emails are an acceptable way to get the key message out without getting trapped in potentially painful conversations you're not ready to have. As to his side of the guest list, your fiancé should contact them himself.

| Caterers, photographers, band leaders and florists know that not every engagement culminates in a wedding, so if you give them enough notice, many will refund your deposits or allow you to bank them for a future, happier, occasion. "When my cake vendor wouldn't return my $300 deposit, I turned that into a positive by using the money to buy birthday cakes for me and my mother. They were the yummiest birthday cakes we ever had," says Catherine Gryp, who ended her engagement three months before her wedding and then launched the breakup survival blog "Simply Solo."
If you've broken off your engagement within just days or hours of the event and refunds aren't possible, it's socially acceptable to have the party, says Post. "You're not having the celebration you were planning so you don't want to crank up the party music, but it's nice to invite people to enjoy the food so it doesn't go to waste."

| Guys pony up an average of $5,130 for the engagement ring, according to a survey by The Knot and WeddingChannel.com. So unless it's a family heirloom, or you chipped in to buy it, you're honor-bound --in some states legally obligated -- to give the ring back. "Some women feel very strongly that they're owed that ring," says Post. "But the ring represents a promise to marry and if you're not going to get married, then you shouldn't have that ring. It's not a reward for putting up with bad behavior or dealing with a rough situation. It's just going to be a reminder of a relationship you want to move on from."

| "Any gift that hasn't been used should be returned," says Post. "This is why engagement gifts are typically opened -- they're meant for the couple to use while they're engaged -- but wedding gifts are not. While you don't anticipate a broken engagement, this is a good reason to hold off on using your wedding gifts until after you're married." And if you did bust open that Kitchen Aid mixer from Aunt Gertrude prematurely, Post says it's not necessary to send it back (or money to cover it). You might consider giving it to charity, as Kim Kardashian did. If you opt to keep the mixer, at least send Aunt Gertrude a note, explaining the circumstances, says Post. "We're a society that likes everything to come out nice and even and square, but this is a messy situation, and things like this don't always come out evenly in the wash. There will be some gifts that won't be able to be returned. Everybody just needs to understand that you're doing your best."

| Even if you know in your heart that you made the right decision, you need to mourn the end of your relationship. It's normal to feel bad about hurting someone you care about and even miss your ex-fiancé. "You're letting go of a life you envisioned," says Paz. "You're still going to be tearful. You're still going to feel sad. You're still going to feel empty. You still hurt someone. So understand that you might have bouts of relief when you feel 'I'm free!' But you might also have smaller bouts of feeling very sad, too."

| Should you keep it? Should you sell it? Should you donate it? Would you even consider wearing it if you marry someone else? For some women, their wedding dress is inextricably tied to the marriage they cancelled and they'd pay someone to take it off their hands. Others feel they found the perfect gown and they're not giving it up because their ex wasn't the perfect guy. You don't need to decide the fate of your gown immediately, but for your own sanity, get your mother or a friend to put it away in one of their closets so you're not constantly reminded that things didn't work out. "For a while, I had my dress in my house and it was like it was calling to me from my closet," admits Gryp. "Getting rid of it will really help your emotional well-being."

Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation during pregnancy
Gal Dubnov-Raz MD MSC, Yaron Finkelstein MD, Gideon Koren MD FRCPC
May 2007
Several pregnant patients have asked recently whether media reports of children's intelligence quotients' increasing with increased intake of essential fatty acids are meaningful enough to be worth the effort of supplementation. What advice should they be given?
Existing evidence from interventional studies is sparse and conflicting and should not lead to supplementation with polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Quelques patientes enceintes m'ont demandé récemment si les rapports médiatiques à l'effet que le quotient intellectuel des enfants augmentait avec un apport accru en acides gras essentiels étaient assez significatifs pour justifier de prendre un supplément. Quels conseils faut-il leur donner?
Les données scientifiques actuelles tirées d'études interventionnelles sont plutôt rares et contradictoires et ne sont pas suffisantes pour recommander un supplément d'acides gras essentiels.
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) of the ω-3 and ω-6 families are essential for a healthy diet. ω-3 PUFAs mainly include alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is derived from plants, and eicosapentenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are found in fish oil. ω-6 PUFAs mainly include linoleic acid (LA) and arachidonic acid (AA), which are found in most vegetable oils, whole grain breads, eggs, and cereals. These fatty acids are essential components of the human brain and are required especially in the third trimester of pregnancy when brain growth is at its peak.1,2 As PUFAs from both families are metabolized by the same enzymes, the ratio between them is important.3,4 For example, increasing dietary intake of ω-3 fatty acids might reduce the levels of essential ω-6 products in fetuses.5,6 When ω-3 PUFAs without AA were given to preterm infants, slower growth was reported.7,8 One-year-old children given DHA alone had lower language scores than those given DHA with AA or than controls.9 Therefore, a primary concern of giving ω-3 supplements is the risk of reducing AA levels in growing fetuses and children. Yet ω-3 intake during pregnancy might still have benefits.
Possible benefits of ω-3 supplementation during pregnancy
Prenatal ω-3 intake and preeclampsia. A negative relationship between PUFAs and preeclamspia, or pregnancy-induced hypertension, has been suggested through observational studies,10 but not shown in interventional trials.10-12 Recently, ω-3 intake was even associated with hypertensive disorders during pregnancy.13
Prenatal ω-3 intake and length of gestation. Several studies have suggested that maternal supplementation with ω-3 PUFAs can increase pregnancy duration by 4 to 6 days,5,11,14 but other studies found no such effect.15,16 No decrease in the rate of preterm deliveries, a much more important end point, was found. Among women with previous preterm deliveries, however, a nearly 50% reduction in prematurity was found.17
Prenatal ω-3 intake and fetal size. While several studies have addressed the potential effects of ω-3 supplementation on birth size, most did not find any effect.18 One recent study on LA with ALA supplementation during pregnancy noted higher birth weights in offspring.5
Prenatal ω-3 intake and brain function of offspring. Both ω-3 and ω-6 PUFAs are essential to normal brain development and function.1,2 Yet trials of postnatal ω-3 supplementation have yielded conflicting results. Studies of prenatal supplementation and children's cognitive function are few and are mostly observational. The only interventional study that assessed maternal ω-3 supplementation and intelligence showed that, at 4 years old, children whose mothers took ω-3 supplements during pregnancy and lactation had higher cognitive function.19 Maternal DHA intake (but not infant intake) positively correlated with children's mental processing ability. Another study, on prenatal supplementation with fish oil and infants' visual function found no effect.16 It should be noted that, although statistically significant differences existed in some studies, changes were small and probably of little clinical importance.
Supplementation with ω-3 for pregnant women might influence several obstetric and neonatal characteristics, but conflicting results from too few studies prevent us from drawing definitive conclusions. Much evidence is still missing, such as which types of ω-3 fatty acids are of benefit (ALA, EPA, or DHA) and at what dosage; whether AA should also be added and at what exact ω-6–to–ω-3 ratio; when supplements should be given; and what benefits to mothers, infants, or children should be expected. Until evidence accumulates, no recommendation should be made to encourage pregnant women to take ω-3 fatty acid supplements.

text: I've recently ordered a custom topper 2-hole dog box with a lower drawer. I narrowed my search down to two fabricators, Ainley and Deerskin. Being from Baton Rouge, LA I obviously called Deerskin first. When I called in the morning, the lady answering the phone let me know very quickly that Deerskin does not do custom work. Naturally, my hard headness didn't let me give up because I surely did not want to go to Dubuque, IA. I called back that afternoon and talked to Jennifer. She told me that she would get it done and yes they do offer custom boxes. She worked with me to design what I needed and it's ordered. Bottom line, if you call Deerskin, ask for Jennifer. She probably saved me $1000 in travel costs by keeping me from having to drive to Iowa to pick one up. Or having to settle for a lower quality box from someone else.

Toddlers Put Themselves To Bed ?
Twin Toddlers put themselves to bed.
Wait........WHAT !!??
On-Air KOOL 105.5: Monday through Friday 3pm - 8pm / Saturday and Sunday 2pm - 6pm
On-Air WAVE 92.7: Monday through Friday 8pm - Midnight
I have been part of the South Florida & Treasure Coast airwaves since 1986 with WRLX, then WMXQ before it flipped to oldies in 1988 (WOLL). Except for a 5 hear hiatus (1992 - 1997) when I moved back to New England to take care of my dad , I have been on the air in these markets ever since.
When I moved back to Florida in 1997 I worked for WRMF, then for "The Frog" and "Thunder Country" with call letters WXFG in 1998 before they flipped to WILD 95.5.
Shortly after that, I returned to WOLL (KOOL 105.5) where I have done every major day part from mornings to middays to afternoons ever since.
I was also the Morning guy on WQOL from 2008 - 2015 and am happy to make nights on WAVE 92.7 a new part of my radio resume.
In my spare time on the weekends, I enjoy being a Mobile DJ Entertainer and Master of Ceremonies specializing in Weddings. I also do anniversary parties, adult birthdays and events as well as corporate events. My website is www.SkipKelly.com (go figure, right?) Check it out sometime !

Javascript isn't as painful as I figured it would be. It's quite easy to pick up details from references and idioms from other peoples' code, which is certainly a testament to the simplicity of the language.
After some picking around with the W3C DOM implementation for Javascript, I'm starting to look at JSON as an alternative. At the very least, it seems easier to debug and to dump data structures out of. There's probably just something I don't get about the DOM that is making it so annoying, but hopefully I'll find it with a fresh set of eyes after checking out an alternative or two.

1.coils/capacitors have logarithmic/exponential curves...http://www.falstad.com/circuit/e-induct.htmlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductor#Inductance_formulae2.how do u plan to make the primary side of that sensor?it seems to b a little bit dangerous for my taste...do u know an electrician?
1.how do u get a mainspower plug through that tiny hole?2.that sparkfun sensor can b integrated easier, i guess...one just snaps it on the mains power line...3.possibly u just measure the reactive power?i have no idea how that sensor works, when there r 2 wires with the same current (just the direction is the oposite)...i think u should wait for the high voltage experts... they should b here within a day...
1.ok - that sounds safe...2.i c3.ok - then it should work... how many measurements do u take? since it is AC, the voltage changes quite rapidly and strongly, i guess...
uhmwhy do u take the RMS value (it contains square values)?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_mean_squarei think the arithmetic mean would b the right value...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_average#Arithmetic_meanhave u seen this:http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,125952.0.html ?
Let RL=100, then appr. 100mV on RL translate to 1A... 200mV to 2A...
QuoteLet RL=100, then appr. 100mV on RL translate to 1A... 200mV to 2A...That "sensitivity" figure is specified at the rated current (of 25amp). So running 25amp Ip, you should expect about 2.5v (=100mv * 25amp) on the secondary. All rms of course. The datasheet doesn't say if that relationship holds if Ip is other than 25amp.

Just had a request to the taxpayers to subsidize the county bus service fail 45%-55%. They were already getting 80% of their funding from the taxpayers & wanted to increase that.

Thanks, everyone, for certifying me ;). I promise not to cause too much trouble.
I wasn't able to finish the last step of the project yesterday. bah. Finished getting it to build, and it seemed to load right into my powerPC simulator, but I didn't have time to run it through and examine the tracer's output.
Oh well, on a side note my boss said he's giving me a $3 raise when I finish it off. That should be within an hour of starting next saturday ;)
I've never had a boss give me a raise before, ever. This job is a keeper. I mean, he paid me the first third of the summer for educational reading. get that! Even if I wanted to move on, I couldn't in good conscience; I feel that I owe him a little more work to make that worth his while.

Trilogy: Career, Management, and the Workplace
A good portion of our lives is spent at the workplace and working at home. Globalization has taken "do more with less resources" to a new level. Using my career experiences, observations, and education, I will bring real-life scenarios of the Trilogy: Career, Management, and the Workplace to you for interactive dialogue and commenting. Work-life balance is not an easy feat. The goal of my blog is to dive into trilogy challenges we see and face as well as provide realistic approaches to move forward.
Remembering a Great Friend, Father, and Husband
I find myself struggling sometimes with the loss of family and friends at such young ages. It hardly makes sense when there is so much more life to live, adventures to experience, and roads not traveled. I try to be optimistic, yet it is difficult, when the past three years, I have been to more funerals than birthday parties.
There are greater goods, which have resulted from these funerals, though at the time of attending, the vision or thoughts were not there. It is a coming together of people, some known, some not known, and some whom we now call our friends. Through these events, I have grown to know the impact I and others had on the lives of the friends and family passed, yet when they were living they were unspoken words...you just knew you were always there for each other.
Greater was the impact they had on me. I had the wonderful opportunity to have "The Waterman" Jon as a friend. The first time I met him at Kips Inn (our Cheers); we talked about a number of things from family to playing pool to Snoopy and the Red Baron. My husband had never heard the song. Jon & I could not believe he had not. A week later, we ran into Jon and guess what? He gave us a CD of Snoopy's Red Baron Christmas. "The Baron then offered a holiday toast. And Snoopy, our hero, saluted his host. And then with a roar they were both on their way. Each knowing they'd meet on some other day."
For those of you, who are not familiar, Jon was the truck driver, who died in the semi-trailer/car accident on May 26th in Caledonia. His final act of kindness was swerving to miss the car. At age 45, he was in the prime of his life. His world revolved around his daughters Julie & Jill and wife Christy of almost 25 years. He was the "shirt off the back" kind of guy, who would drop what he was doing for you, if you needed him to. He never had an unkind word to say about anyone. His dry, corny humor always made you laugh.
Jon was also a KC-135 Crew Chief for the Wisconsin Air National Guard. He took great pride in his ability to help and be there for people. Since he can no longer physically be here to take care of his daughters, he will be able to take care of them through us. A college fund called "Jon Schweiss Memorial Fund" has been established and donations can be made at any US Bank location.
July 21, 2012 from 1pm - 5pm, there will be a fundraiser held at Kips Inn, 837 S. 108th in West Allis. All proceeds will be donated to Julie & Jill's college fund. The continued celebration of Jon's life will include a 50/50 cash raffle, bucket raffles for numerous gift certificates, grills, a family pack for the WI Dells, and much more. We hope you will join us and pass the word on. Let's help Jon, help his family.
If you would like to donate a raffle item, please drop off at Kips Inn with any of the bartenders, care of The Waterman.

Hi All,
This is a both Headphone AMP as well as a DAC recommendation thread. I will start with all the details first:
- Current Headphones - Beyerdynamic DT 990 (600 ohm)
- Music I listen to - Trance (lots of trance), New Age, instrumentals, chillout
- Current monitors - Swan t200b active monitors
- Current source - Foobar 2000 -> X-fi forte -> direct headphone out for headphones / Analog out for Swan speakers.
- Budget - 1000 $ for both dac and amp
I was earlier using the Audio-GD compass dac with the headphones (as a dac and amp combo). It sounded good. However, i got an Onkyo AV receiver and that also drove the headphones quite similar to the compass dac. Even the x-fi forte seemed to be quite close to the compass and hence i sold the compass. Now after a year, i have moved the receiver to a different room and i am using only the forte to drive the headphones and the swans and i feel its time to invest a good Dac/Amp again. I also plan on getting a Tesla T1 down the line (or the new Tesla T90).
Current options:
After doing some research and reading a quite a bit I have narrowed down to the following:
- Nuforce DAC 100 - new unit, not many reviews. But i like the convenience of a single unit. It also has pre-outs to drive my swan monitors.
- CEntrance DACMini - amazing reviews. I want to know how this will compare against the new DAC-100. Or rather, how will the new DAC-100 compare against this well established unit.
- Schiit Bifrost with Lyr or Asgard - Only issue with bifrost/asgard combo is that there is no RCA out to drive my monitors. I can only drive my headphones in that case. Maybe RCA splitters will resolve this issue, but not sure. LYR has additional RCA output, but not sure if it will act as a pre amp to the active monitors or not.
Audio-gd compass DAC that I had did have pre-outs. I was able to drive both the monitors and the headphones with the compass. But I want to try a different brand this time. Not in favor of audio-gd this time.
Please help me in figuring out which path should i take:
- Get something out of the choices mentioned above?
- Get something else, that is not yet mentioned in the choices?
- Don't get anything - x-fi forte is more than enough?
Please help me fellow headfiers ... :)

The Beehive watermark
Photographed in transmitted light, the 'beehive' watermark with the initials DEDB (De Erven de Blauw) is enclosed by ornate scrollwork of leaves and flowers crowned with a fruit tree. Its execution is more sophisticated than many earlier versions. The lack of flocking along the visible chain lines indicates that the paper used is not an early Antique laid paper.
The 'beehive' watermark originated with a family of Dutch papermakers by the name of Honig [honey], who owned mills in Zaandyk (1675–1902). The coat of arms of the Honig family (incorporating the beehive motif) became a watermark extensively copied throughout the Netherlands and abroad in places such as Russia and Scandinavia.1 The 'beehive' watermark became a common motif for Dutch papermakers and those who wished to allude to Dutch papermaking. Eventually it also came to represent a particular paper size.2
This watermark is a 'beehive' variation belonging to the Dutch papermakers De Erven de Blauw c.1822. The papermakers founded by Dirk and Cornelis Blauw operated five wind-powered papermills in the Zaanstreek region, North Holland. The firm survived for more than 250 years under many different names.
Bill Hamilton and Kassandra Coghlan
watermark centre: Beehive with initials DEDB (from the papermaker De Erven de Blauw c.1822) 17.2 X 10.5 cm; 2.45 cm between chain lines; 9 laid lines per cm
