People here were stunned on Friday forenoon when they learned that Mrs. McCauley Lynch had nearly lost her life at the hands of a male assailant in her own home, just south of Mc- Connellsburg. Being ill Thursday night, Mrs. Lynch remained in bed Friday morning and her husband left on his duties as rural mail carrier. During the morning, she heard someone downstairs and coming down, fully clothed, was confronted by the masked man. He said, "I want money" and when she replied that she had none, said: "You d_ _ _ liar. I have 75 cents that I found in the cupboard." Thus they confronted each other in the kitchen, the masked man pointing a revolver directly at her face. Mrs. Lynch seized a baseball bat standing in the kitchen, struck at the man's head, missed but did knock the gun from his hand. He stooped for the weapon, at the same time preventing her from escaping by holding onto her skirt, while she tried to tear the mask from his face. Uttering an imprecation, he hit her on top of the head with the revolver and she lay unconscious until found by her father an hour or more later.

Dashcam Released of Arkansas Police Slayings
An Arkansas Wildlife officer takes cover during a shootout in Crittenden County, Arkansas.
The Commercial Appeal via YellowBrix
July 01, 2010
JONESBORO, Ark. — From the cab of his FedEx truck, Vincent Brown had a bird's-eye view of the shooting that killed two West Memphis police officers on May 20.
A short video clip from an officer's dashboard camera released Wednesday shows 16-year-old Joe Kane in a red T-shirt slowly open the passenger-side door of a 1994 white Plymouth Voyager van and wield an AK-47 assault rifle. Within seconds. he vanishes from the camera's view.
But Brown's account, which is part of a 240-page preliminary report from the Arkansas State Police, fills in the gaps.
The truck driver's rig was parked behind the two police cars on the off ramp at mile marker 275 on Interstate 40.
Brown couldn't hear the shots because of his tractor- trailer's engine. But he told investigators the chilling scene he witnessed:
It began, he said, when a "potbelly guy" driving the van – Jerry Kane Jr. – suddenly pushed Officer Bill Evans down an embankment and into a ditch.
Then Joe Kane – "a skinny kid" as Brown identified him – came out of nowhere with what appeared to be an automatic weapon with a long clip. He began to fire.
Brown said Evans tried to draw his weapon with one hand and extended the other in front of himself as if to say: Stop.
Sgt. Brandon Paudert, who'd arrived as backup for Evans, took cover behind his partner's Chevy Tahoe. But it appeared that Joe "timed it just right" to shoot Paudert in the head, Brown told investigators, and then stood over his body as the officer lay in the roadway.
Both Kanes got back in the van. The video clip shows Joe firing four more rounds of the AK-47 out of the van's passenger-side window in the direction of Evans as his father slowly drove away.
A crime-scene report said Paudert lay on his back, head pointed west, feet toward the east, with his semi-automatic weapon in his right hand. He had a "large, gaping wound extending from his chin to the top of his skull."
Evans was taken to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead. His bullet-proof vest, shredded by gunfire, lay in the ditch along with his handheld police radio.
Mike Walden, prosecuting attorney for the 2nd Judicial District in Arkansas, said Wednesday that officers involved in a second shootout that killed the Kanes 90 minutes later in the Walmart parking lot, were justified and that he didn't anticipate filing any charges.
Police recovered 144 shell casings from various weapons — pistols, rifles and shotguns — at the Walmart crime scene.
Some officers told state police officials that Joe Kane still had his finger on the trigger of his weapon when his body was pulled from the van.
Crittenden County Sheriff Dick Busby and Chief Deputy W.A. Wren were wounded in the second firefight. Busby recovered from a bullet wound to the shoulder.
Wren has been in a rehabilitation center in Jonesboro since his release from the Regional Medical Center at Memphis. He could be released as soon as Friday.

Raw Video: Second Shootout in Walmart Parking Lot in Which Suspects Were Killed
Prosecuting attorney Walden said if the Kanes had survived they would have faced capital murder charges in the deaths of Evans and Paudert.
The investigation is ongoing because material from the FBI and the Arkansas State Crime Lab has yet to be reviewed. Walden released the preliminary report because of the amount of media inquiries and public interest in the case.
Investigators determined that Joe Kane wielded the AK-47 while his father had a Taurus 45/LC 410 revolver.
The evidence log in the preliminary report shows that police recovered ammunition from the Kanes' van along with a marijuana brick, rolling papers, a scale and screens with burnt marijuana cigarettes behind the passenger seat. They also found hotel receipts, CDs titled "Banks Do Not Loan Money" and $301, among other items.
West Memphis Police Chief Bob Paudert, Brandon's father, took his wife and Brandon's family to Florida this week to escape the media coverage of the investigative report's release.
He hasn't seen the dash camera video or read the report. A state investigator briefed him on a few details.
"I have mixed emotions about looking at the video," he said. "I probably need to as a chief, but as a father it's going to be very difficult.
"It's the last few minutes of Brandon and Bill's life. Everyone keeps saying I'm strong, but I'm not strong. This has had a major impact on me."
Staff reporters Cindy Wolff, Jody Callahan and Kevin McKenzie contributed to this report.

Cormier was 6-of-12 shooting and knocked down 3 of 7 from deep and 9 of 10 at the foul line for the Greyhounds (19-9, 11-5 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference).

This is a screenshot from KDE System Guard showing my download speed for the Fedora Core 9 distribution DVD, around mid-day on Saturday. After downloading 1.8GB I was suddenly slapped down to 100 kBytes/sec, which translates to around 1 Mbit/sec with all the packet overhead. This happens consistently with various download sites, so I'm confident its my ISP.
I'm paying Virgin Media for their "Unlimited" 10Mbit service (although I haven't seen anything over 500 kBytes/sec, which would mean around 5Mbit in reality). I was never told that my download rate would be capped, although the fine print in the sign-up page points to their AUP, which says in Section 7 that they reserve the right to restrict Internet services in any way at any time.
However this post is not actually a complaint about rate capping. ISPs are there to make money by providing a service, and as a rule you get what you pay for. In theory if I want a better service all I have to do is switch ISPs, and possibly pay more money. Our email address is routed through a domain I personally own, so we don't even have to tell anyone else that our household has switched ISPs.
But how do I know that I'll get a better deal if I go elsewhere? All retail ISPs offer basically the same terms, which consist of a big headline rate accompanied by a fine-print disclaimer pointing out that you might never get it. If they have a rate-capping policy they certainly don't advertise it.
I don't actually want a faster headline speed (although I'd be very happy to get the one I'm currently promised). I don't even want a promise of "no rate caps": the ISP argument that heavy downloaders hurt responsiveness for all users is valid. All I want is to be able to look at ISP adverts and figure out where the best value for money is. That means the following information:
- Ratio of customers to actual incoming bandwidth.
- The rate-capping policy: e.g. capped rate and criteria for applying it.

Collins was elected to Congress in June 1973 in a special election to replace her husband, George, who had died in the December 1972 United Airlines flight plane crash. After winning with 92 percent of the vote, Collins went on to serve in Congress for nearly 25 years. She is widely respected for her legislative successes in securing the rights of minorities and women.
For many years Collins was the strongest advocate in Congress for African-Americans on media and marketing issues, and she was the first to hold hearings challenging programming and ownership in broadcasting.
"She was a shrewd and perceptive warrior who believed strongly in the rights Blacks and women," said Eddie Arnold, Collin's former director of communications and public information. "She had a major concern about the image of black people in the media, and she had a big impact on improving that image."
"Those of us in NABOB [National Association of Black Owned Broadcasters] who knew her personally were deeply saddened by the recent passing of former Congresswoman Cardiss Collins," said Jim Winston, executive director and general counsel of NABOB. "Congresswoman Collins was one of NABOB's earliest allies in promoting minority ownership of broadcast stations."
As the only African-American member of the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee, in the mid-1980s, Collins held a Congressional hearing on "No Urban Dictates" when an ad agency sent out a written avail with the "no urban" language included. As a result, Collins introduced a bill in Congress proposing that any advertiser found to be engaging in advertising discrimination could not deduct the cost of such advertising as a business expense.
Collins was the first to convene Congressional hearings on the millions spent by the federal government on advertising. She formed the Advertising Fairness Task Force and in 1989 Collins ordered a General Accounting Office study on ad expenditures. The results revealed that, contrary to mandatory provisions of federal law, the Dept. of Defense, which accounted for most of the $166 million spent in federal advertising, "did not use small disadvantaged advertising firms as prime contractors and made only minimal use of small disadvantaged firms as subcontractors," the GAO report said.
A memorial service for Congresswoman Collins was held on Monday, Feb. 11 at Alfred Street Baptist Church in Alexandria, Va.

Intro for August 15, 2014
Dear Gossips,
It's Batfleck's birthday today. He's now 42 years old. Conveniently he also covers the new fall preview issue of Entertainment Weekly for Gone Girl. Click here to see that post from yesterday. There are a lot of people who aren't feeling Affleck as Batfleck and the entire superhero showdown as a whole.
How come I didn't notice that Ben and Henry Cavill have matching chin dimples until last weekend when I was re-watching Man Of Steel? I've just spent 15 minutes looking at chin dimples. You know who has their chin dimple? Tom Brady. Maybe they can find a part for him too in the Justice League.
We might be a week away from George Clooney's wedding. Now that's how you f-ck with the entertainment media: get married on the same weekend as the MTV VMAs and the Emmys. Rest up!
Have a great weekend,

Read the original story in the Portland Business Journal here.
Summary: PSU Business Accelerator graduate Giftango grows and creates new jobs in Portland, Ore.
Giftango Corp., a seven-year-old Portland startup specializing in digital gift cards, on Tuesday announced it is being acquired by one of the gift card industry's biggest players, Atlanta-based InComm.
Terms of the deal weren't disclosed, though Giftango CEO David Nelsen said his long-term goal in selling the company is to eventually make it — and its Portland workforce of 55 — significantly larger.
Giftango, which debuted in 2005, makes it easier for customers of major retailers to deliver digital gift cards via e-mail, mobile devices or through Facebook. It has worked with 150 different brands, including major retailers such as Amazon.com, Lowe's, Papa John's, and Barnes & Noble, among others. The company also has operations in Australia and Dublin, Ireland.
The company has attracted $9 million from investors across two rounds — $6.5 million in equity, $2.5 million in debt — and was on the verge of completing a $15 million Series C round when the InComm acquisition option arose.
"It was a very good exit," said Nelsen. "It's a sizable deal. It was a positive return for our investors."
Those investors, which includes the Oregon Angel Fund, are expected to receive close to 10 times their initial investment as a result of the sale, Nelsen said.
Yet Nelsen promises this exit for investors isn't the end of Giftango's growth.
With InComm, it becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of one of the world's biggest distributors of pre-paid gift cards. Its products support 225,000 different retail locations and 1,500 employees in 70 countries.
By acquiring Giftango, InComm is strengthening is position in the digital gifting market. Nelsen said Giftango is the market leader in having the most national merchants.
"This acquisition opens doors to new and meaningful distribution channels for InComm merchants and product partners," InComm CEO Brooks Smith said in a news release. "Giftango is the digital gifting technology behind very large loyalty, incentive and mobile platforms in the US market and has made inroads internationally as well."
Nelsen said Giftango will continue to build out its business in Portland for the prepaid portion of InComm's business. The deal won't bring any changes in personnel, and the company plans to hire between 5 and 10 additional people immediately.
"We do exactly as we were doing before. Our goal is to bring a lot of new jobs to Portland and continue to build out digital," Nelsen said. "If people believe digital is the next thing in payments, then we should be able to bring a lot of jobs to Portland."

I run a small real estate startup in the Boston area. We purchase "fixer-upper" properties (primarily foreclosures, estate sales etc.) then fix them up and re-sell them. We are a growing business and would like something professional but still fun and interesting.
We want something that looks cool but not cheesy. We will be putting this on our website which will be viewed by a huge variety of different people, such as: real estate agents, other real estate investors, potential home buyers etc.
We would like a nice professional logo. We would like some sort of nice identifying emblem to put in the logo, maybe a nice interesting shape with nice colors. Oh FYI: One of my ultimate pet peeves is when real estate companies have "housey" logos. Those are usually logos with houses in the background or something. Anyway, I think it looks very, very cheesy! But your the designers I don't know much about this anyway! So get designing! I'm looking forward to seeing what you some up with!

Sarkar Raj

Hello Ma`am,
People have different perpectives of the same thing. If we go with a lot of expectations even " life beautiful " would not be the movie it is. You are right in terms of Aish, the movie faltered, but the concept of emergence of Raj against Thakeray`s was done beautifully, may be I dont have your level of inteligence, but thats fine I think.

shobhaa... how could u be so rude.. ehehe
on a serious note... whil agree with all your points... i guess i would also like to point out that RGV did much better than Aag.
in any case.. this film as well as Sarkar is a copybook for cinematography, lighting and background score... i think RGV needs to be given the shabaashi for that...
also performances by the three main leads are worth watching...
overall the film dragged a bit... that's the problem with the story... but chess games are slow too!

You are right, but now a days you are thinking like a critic and not like a film buff....... We have greater expectations from you Ma`am.

Hmnn, I guess Sarkar Raj wasn't all that bad. It could have been much better with a more interesting narrative. Also, the introduction of more characters (some, unwanted) added more commas to an otherwise okay screenplay.
Didnt like Amitabh talking too much, in fact he was better quieter in Sarkar. And Abhishek was repetitive and boring at times. Particularly with the cellphone. Aishwarya didnt have much to do except work as a visual relief amongst a canvas of ugly looking men. Ditto Tanishaa. But still liked the lighting and the interesting camera work. Even the background score, although a repeat of Sarkar, was effective. Come on, RGV scores on these counts for sure.
- June 9, 2008 at 6:23 PM
- Shobhaa De said...
guys, it's good to see u defend your point of view so effectively.
the music was more Omkara than Sarkar, though! lighting?? haven't we seen it in countless Hollywood movies ten, twenty years ago? the only worthwhile performance came from the crafty old man. No. Not Amitabh. But Prabhavalkar.

i m not taking any hollywood film example.. that way we would never reach anywhere near Godfather and the shawshank redemption...
Sarkar raj is fine as per indian standards... we need to applaud that... it's getting better and there should be good will for the pioneers...

dear shobaa,
i agree with you. and i appreciate the fact that you sat through the ordeal of "pa, bahu aur baby"... ramu, i guess he has lost it... after watching his "cholley", i haven't mustered the courage to watch sarkar raj. for a change, bahu rani, i gather from the promos, has not shown much skin. guess ramu from his past experiences of jiah, antara, nisha (ohh sorry "priyankaaah"), now would have come to this conclusion
"too much vagina, causes angina". lol.

Make the Garnish: Preheat the oven to 175 degrees F. Arrange the prosciutto on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet and bake until dried and crispy, about 3 hours. Set aside. (The prosciutto can be made up to 2 days in advance, and kept covered in an air-tight container.) When the prosciutto is done, combine the squash, water, 1 teaspoon butter, salt, and sugar in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated and the squash is tender and glazed. Make the Nage: Combine all the ingredients, except the water, in a pot and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 45 minutes. Strain, discard the solids, and return to the pot. Boil until reduced to 3 cups. Set aside. (The nage can be made up to 3 days in advance and refrigerated, covered.) Make the Scallops and Orange Vapor: Using a vegetable peeler, peel the rind off the oranges and set aside. Reserve orange segments for another use. Preheat a large skillet over high heat. Season the scallops with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the oil and heat. Add the scallops and cook, turning once, until seared and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Meanwhile, heat the nage in a saucepan over medium heat. While blending with an immersion blender, add the butter to the nage, little by little, to make frothy. Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the glazed butternut squash and reheat. Bring a teapot of water to a boil. Divide the glazed butternut squash among the center of 8 small bowls, and top each with a scallop. Spoon some of the frothy nage over each scallop and top each with piece of the crispy prosciutto. Place each bowl inside a heated larger bowl and surround with the orange rind. Place the bowls in front of your eagerly awaiting guest. Pour the water from the teapot over the orange rind to create orange vapor. Inhale the vapor while you eat.

Before throwing your doors open to potential buyers, use this checklist:
- De-clutter. This can't be overemphasized. A cluttered home is a turnoff to most buyers. It's also potentially dangerous: you don't want people injured as they navigate through the clutter. And don't stuff everything into cabinets and closets -- people will be looking there to assess storage capacity. Either get rid of it or store it offsite.
- Clean up. Not just everyday cleaning like dusting, sweeping and scrubbing the bathtub. Think deep clean: carpets should be steam cleaned, drapes washed/dry cleaned, upholstery vacuumed and shampooed, if necessary. Attend to often-ignored areas -- top of the fridge, cobwebbed corners, cabinet interiors and the oven. The bathroom and kitchen should be spotless. A maid service is a worthy investment in getting the best offer for your house.
- Get a checkup. Consider having a pre-listing home inspection report prepared. Potential buyers can examine it, noting repairs you've made since and easing their mind about the property.
- Revive & repair. A fresh coat of light, neutral paint is practically obligatory. If you have decent hardwood under grungy or outdated carpet, trash the carpet and refinish the floors. Take care of scuffed woodwork, ripped wallpaper, water damage and exposed wiring. Half-finished home improvement projects deter buyers; complete any such projects, if possible.
- Enhance curb appeal. Most buyers form conclusions about a property from the curb. Cast the same critical eye on your home's exterior. Does the roof need repair? Are the gutters overflowing with debris? Does the front lawn look like a missile site? Does the driveway need sealing? Make any necessary improvements. Try buying a new doormat and decorate with some container plants.
- Lawn and order. If you haven't paid attention to landscaping; it's too late to start planting trees. Prune, trim and weed whatever you have. Consider having a professional landscape plan done, which may help buyers envision potential for the home. Don't forget interior landscaping: if you have no healthy house plants, buy a few attractive specimens and locate them strategically around the house. Dump any dead or dying plants.
- Depersonalize. Put away family photos, children's artwork, trophies, pet toys, etc., to help buyers imagine themselves in your home. Clear all the junk off the fridge; the kitchen will look bigger and cleaner.
- The sniff test. To check for off-putting odours that can cost you a sale, ask your real estate agent (or a trusted friend or neighbour) to help identify bad smells in your home. Common culprits include smoking, laundry, bathroom mould and mildew, garbage cans, musty basement, cooking smells, litter boxes and other pet paraphernalia.
Don't attempt to cover bad smells with deodorizers and air fresheners -- address the problem.
- Light up your life. Check that every fixture in the house has a working light bulb of the maximum safe wattage. Clean all the windows so buyers can appreciate the brightness of the rooms.
- Out of sight. Before allowing strangers to tour your home, stash all valuables in safe places. Jewelry, cameras, credit cards, ID, medications and other small, easily pocketed items should be locked away. Remove fragile items from harm's way. Ensure your insurance policy is up-to-date.

Worry About Scaling Later? No.
7 comments:
True, I think Twitter makes a pretty good case for worrying about scaling upfront. Granted they had pretty amazingly explosive traffic growth, but isn't that what many startups are hoping for?ReplyDelete
I disagree, and Tritter is the exception, not the rule. The fact is, most apps you build will never attain that kind of success. Every one might like to think they're building the next Tritter/Google/MySpace/FaceBook, but it just isn't so.ReplyDelete
Spend you time and effort building a good app with the plan to build a user base slowly and handle scalability when it actually becomes an issue, in MOST cases it never will, and if it does, well, that's a nice problem to have.
Premature optimization is the root of all evil!
I used to agree with the Getting Real thing, Ramon, but not any longer. Here's why: social networking apps necessarily depend very heavily for their success on network effects. Being able to seize that moment when your app suddenly blows up is crucial. I think the Getting Real approach is still very valid in that your primary goal should be to build something solid and good, but if something like that does happen, you want to be able to take advantage of it. Having that fluke success as your primary business goal is still a flimsy plan, but disregarding its significance would be a mistake. Katerina Fake said at one of Adaptive Path's UX conferences that timing was the biggest part of Flickr's success. You shouldn't be building to cash out on a lottery ticket, but if somebody drops one in your lap, you should be able to redeem it.ReplyDelete
I beleive that absolutes don't work. I mean, yeah, scaling *could* be a problem, but, as ramon pointed out, 9 out of 10 times it won't.ReplyDelete
Now, I beleive that if you do things right, you really don't need to worry (much) about massive scaling, as that usually just is throwing more servers.
If you take a little time to work with that in mind, then when you have a problem you just throw more servers in, and things will work fine for a while, until you need to, say, add more database servers (thinking on twitter, or all rails apps for that matter), but once you are (near) there, you know it might happen, so that's a good time to take a bit more time.
But just develop thinking "this will be huge, so I just should replicate this data here and there and complicate things because that will make me churn out 12903812903 requests per second without a problem" is plain out wrong. If you need to change direction on the project a bit, then that will only make things worse...
- AnonymousJune 17, 2007 at 8:14:00 PM PDT
"Being able to seize that moment when your app suddenly blows up is crucial."ReplyDelete
Based on what evidence? People still use Twitter even though it had scaling issues. Myspace has awful scaling issues, but is bigger than ever.
Based on my theory that Twitter and Myspace probably both lost sleep scaling in a hurry. My theory could be false but I think the idea of worrying about scaling later is a bit facile. Scaling shouldn't be the focus, it shouldn't bog down your process, and it shouldn't be your expectation - all true. However, you don't expect to run anybody over on your way to work, but you do insure your car.ReplyDelete
Here's the metaphor: natural disasters. I usually live in either Silicon Valley or New Mexico. (My new love is Los Angeles, and I'll be back there some point soon.) California is prone to earthquakes and wildfires, and New Mexico is prone to wildfires and tourists. Do you cower in fear because an earthquake could happen? No; Los Angeles has its fair share of skyscrapers. Likewise people in NM build near forests even though they know wildfires can happen. You don't plan your whole strategy around the outside chance of a freak occurence.ReplyDelete
However, when a freak occurence is a known risk, you plan for it. Nobody builds a home in a New Mexico forest without accomodating the risk of fire; likewise skyscrapers in Los Angeles have different structural engineering requirements than skyscrapers in Chicago. Worrying about the earthquake when it hits is what animals do. Human beings plan ahead.

Guys, I want to know who still visits the forums regularly-ish, and builds things.
I'd quite like to get to meet you and see what you're up to because in future I want to make some build projects and start getting people involved in building and developing their skills.
So PM me on here or find me on Skype - kayinhey (New Zealand) and message me there with your username saying you found me here.
I'm up for restoring CC to its former glory and taking it even a couple of steps further, having it be one of the great MC servers around. It won't be hard because with all the people with their heads in the sand after the EULA changes and just plain old complaining, all it takes is some positive, committed people who want to make a difference to the server
I'm one of them.
Message me soon and check out the build competition I've posted in Projects
Cheers guys.

ReNU Niagara, a community outreach arm of Niagara University, seeks resident input to identify priorities that will help shape the future of the program.
To be better prepared and informed for their next endeavor, the ReNU Niagara staff will be hosting a series of five "town hall" style meetings geared toward receiving feedback and suggestions from community stakeholders and residents.
It's an opportune time for ReNU Niagara, which is nearing the conclusion of a pair of grant-funded projects: "Creating a Healthier Niagara Falls," funded by the John R. Oishei Foundation, and the "Vacant Lot Initiative," funded through the City of Niagara Falls' community development block grant process.
"ReNU is currently at a turning point and we're eager to sit down to have a conversation with the community," said Tom Lowe, ReNU Niagara director. "This will not be your typical community meeting or planning session. We are asking residents and other stakeholders to offer ideas or suggestions about how our office can use Niagara University resources for the betterment of the City of Niagara Falls."
The meetings will be held over a four-week span, at different locations spread throughout the city. Those dates and locations are as follows:
•Wednesday, Jan. 22 - 6 p.m., The NACC (1201 Pine Ave.)
•Thursday, Jan. 30 - 6 p.m., Beloved Community Administration Building (1710 Calumet Ave.)
•Wednesday, Feb. 5 - 6 p.m., Niagara Falls Public Library - LaSalle Branch (8728 Buffalo Ave.)
•Wednesday, Feb. 12 - 6 p.m., Niagara University Campus (Dunleavy Hall, Room 127)
•The series will be capped off by a community town hall meeting on Feb. 13 with the Rev. James J. Maher, C.M., president of Niagara University.
ReNU Niagara is one of the flagship programs of Niagara University's Rev. Joseph L. Levesque, C.M., Institute for Civic Engagement.

2 oz. cooked clam
6 oz. rice noodles, cooked
2 oz. scallion, cut into 1-in. pieces
2 oz. bean sprouts

2. Mix soy sauces and 1 oz. water, set aside for later.
3. Mix sweet chili sauce and shrimp paste together, set aside for later use.
4. To assemble, heat wok. Add oil, garlic and sausage, sauté about 30 seconds, until fragrant and garlic starts to brown. Add in all seafood and sauté about 30 seconds.
5. Add in noodles and then soy mixture, toss together and bring to a boil. Make pool in center and add about 2 tsp. of chili sauce mixture, then toss everything together.
6. Add scallions, bean sprouts and eggs; toss and then remove. (You don't want to sauté too long once you add final three ingredients, since you are trying to retain color of dish.)

Tributes to sci-fi writer Ray Bradbury, dead at 91
Tributes poured in Wednesday for science fiction writer Ray Bradbury, author of dystopian post-war classics including "Fahrenheit 451," who died aged 91.
(AFP) Tributes poured in Wednesday for science fiction writer Ray Bradbury, author of dystopian post-war classics including "Fahrenheit 451," who died aged 91.
President Barack Obama led praise for Bradbury, seen as one of the genre's greatest authors, who died Tuesday in Los Angeles after an unspecified "lengthy illness" according to his publisher HarperCollins.
"His gift for storytelling reshaped our culture and expanded our world," said Obama.
"But Ray also understood that our imaginations could be used as a tool for better understanding, a vehicle for change, and an expression of our most cherished values."
Director Steven Spielberg added: "He was my muse for the better part of my sci-fi career. He lives on through his legion of fans. In the world of science fiction and fantasy and imagination he is immortal."
In all, the award-winning writer penned nearly 600 short stories and 50 books, including 1950's "The Martian Chronicles" about human attempts to colonize Mars and the unintended consequences.
Bradbury's most famous work, 1953's "Fahrenheit 451," was a Cold War-era warning of the evils of censorship and thought control in a totalitarian state. It reached a worldwide audience as a film adapted by Francois Truffaut in 1966.
"In a career spanning more than seventy years, Ray Bradbury has inspired generations of readers to dream, think, and create," HarperCollins said in a statement.
He was not the first to examine the dual potential for good and bad in science and technology, but he sought out a larger audience.
Before Bradbury, science fiction had mostly been published in pulp magazines, aiming for mass-circulation magazines such as Mademoiselle and The Saturday Evening Post.
He helped bring modern science fiction into the literary mainstream. More than eight million copies of his books have been sold in 36 languages.
Ray Douglas Bradbury was born August 22, 1920 -- an event he claimed to remember -- in Waukegan, Illinois, the third son of a telephone lineman and Swedish immigrant Esther Marie Bradbury.
The family moved to Los Angeles, where Bradbury attended Los Angeles High School and joined the drama club with plans to become an actor.
He graduated in 1938, but skipped university in favor of independent study at a local library, reading Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoyevsky and others, while selling newspapers on the street.
His first paycheck as a writer came for a short story, "Pendulum," published in Super Science Stories, a pulp magazine.
He published his first book, "Dark Carnival," in 1947, the year he married Marguerite McClure.
Bradbury preferred the label fantasy to "sci-fi," defining it as "a depiction of the unreal" and giving as an example "The Martian Chronicles," because it was a story that could not happen.
"Fahrenheit 451" was his only sci-fi book, he said, because it was a "depiction of the real" -- or of something that could actually happen in a totalitarian state.
Bradbury said the novel -- named after the temperature at which printed books ignite -- was not meant to be grim: "I wasn't trying to predict the future. I was trying to prevent it."
"You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them," he once said.
Bradbury branched out into film, television and theater, with an Academy Award nomination for his 1962 animated film, "Icarus Montgolfier Wright," and an Emmy as a television writer for "The Halloween Tree."
In his private life he was terrified of flying, and, surprisingly for someone who wrote about the future, Bradbury rejected computers -- he insisted on using a typewriter, saying PCs were too quiet -- and the Internet.
"People are talking about the Internet as a creative tool for writers. I say, "B.S. Stay away from that. Stop talking to people around the world and get your work done," he told Playboy magazine in 1996, aged 75.
Flowers were placed Tuesday on his sidewalk star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles. He was also immortalized by having an asteroid named after him: 9766 Bradbury.
"The sound I hear today is the thunder of a giant's footsteps fading away. But the novels and stories remain, in all their resonance and strange beauty," said writer Stephen King, cited by the Hollywood Reporter.
Bradbury is survived by his four daughters and eight grandchildren. His wife, Marguerite, died in 2003, after fifty-seven years of marriage.

Based on two interviews conducted by Etta-Belle Kitchen in April 1970. The volume contains 216 pages of interview transcript plus an index. The transcript is copyright 1989 by the U.S. Naval Institute; the transcript requires the written permission of Admiral Pownall's daughter to quote or cite in published works.
Following graduation from the Naval Academy in 1910, Pownall served briefly in the Mississippi (BB-23), Missouri (BB-11), Ammen (DD-35), and Reid (DD-21). During World War I he commanded the Roe (DD-24) and Vedette (SP-163), and after the war, the John D. Ford (DD-228). After flight training, he was designated a naval aviator in 1927. He then served as navigator in the Saratoga (CV-3), air officer in the Lexington (CV-2), and had duty on the staffs of Commander in Chief Battle Fleet and Commander Aircraft Squadrons Battle Fleet. He was executive officer of the Ranger (CV-4), and skipper of the Enterprise (CV-6) from 1938-41. During World War II he served as Commander Patrol Plane Replacement Squadrons, Patrol Wings, Pacific Fleet; Commander Fleet Air, West Coast; Commander Carrier Division Three; Commander Air Force Pacific Fleet; and Chief of Naval Air Training Command. His final tours, before retirement in 1949, were as Commander Marianas and naval governor of Guam.

Mayor's Office
The public is invited to an open house on the Holmes Golf Course clubhouse project from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, February 7 at the current clubhouse, 3701 S. 70th St. Plans and images of the proposed new clubhouse will be on display, and Lincoln Parks and Recreation staff will be available to answer questions about the project and the construction schedule. No formal presentations are planned.
The existing Holmes Golf Course is more than 40 years old. It does not meet current ADA standards for accessibility and also needs significant roof repairs. The new clubhouse will be built adjacent to the existing clubhouse allowing construction of the new building to take place while operation of the existing clubhouse continues. When the new facility is completed, the existing building will be removed.
Construction on the project is scheduled to begin this spring, and the new clubhouse will be open in the spring of 2013. The new clubhouse is funded through municipal golf program revenue, and no tax dollars are being spent on the project.
For more information on the project, contact J.J. Yost, Planning and Construction Manager, at 402-441-8255, or Steve Hiller, Superintendent of Golf Operations, at 402-441-8266. More information on the City's golf program is available at parks.lincoln.ne.gov.

I wonder if she knows a certain armoured skeleton.
I hope they get to curing Casca as soon as possible, without any last minute quests dropped on them. Is likely she will regain her mind, but I also wonder if the queen can remove the brands as well, something will have to happen since the talismans negating the brands power have a finite lifespan.
Wonder if all Guts' crew will get their own personal unicorn to ride into battle with Guts charging into Falconia on a unicorn. Can't be any more threatening than that.
Hello everyone, I'm new here Let me know if I have to change a few things whenever I post something.
I wasn't expecting them to meet Hanafubuku that fast either
I'm wondering if the fact she had the notion of time when the archmages
I agree that he is probably there mostly for comic relief but considering he's also the son of Federico do Vandimion who is one of the most influential men of the series... maybe he could have a different role in the future, if just to testify of what he saw as a way to corroborate what Farnese could say, in case they need their father's help. It's very far in the future though, and I really doubt he will have any other role while they're on Elfhelm.
Welcome! Note a few corrections to terms and names below:- Hanafubuku is an untranslated title that means Flower Storm. I couldn't tell you why Dark Horse's translation chose to leave it merely romanized instead of actually localizing the term (which is, ya know, their job). We've known since Vol 28 that the title implied the Sovereign of the Flower Storm had some association with cherry blossoms, which was confirmed a few episodes ago, and absolutely confirmed in this episode. Meanwhile, Hanafubuku may as well be Pupupupupupupu in English.- That's a made up term. A more direct translation is guru. - *Federico de Vandimion. - I'm sure Miura won't just write Magnifico off, but I think people (not just you) are overlooking what's probably the real reason that Miura chose to bring him along: He's the most worldly human in the most otherworldly environment on the planet. It creates hilarious contrasts and scenarios.
...I'd say it's nearly certain everyone who's even a little bit higher-up on Elfhelm at least knows of him. Personally though? Hmm. Likely.
It's an absolute certainty that this new element will be of key importance in the story. But you're mistaken about what Ged explains. He's not saying it helps elves do things, but that elves don't really go along with it, and so it's sparser in Elfhelm. That's just an aside to him explaining how gravity works in the world of Berserk, and what other properties this element has.
on the subject of Danann, I'm wondering if the fact she had the notion of time when the archmages or the students apparently didn't was yet another hint to her identity (namely dinner, the fact she seemed to realize Puck had been gone for a long time
Sorry I know this isn't the topic, but isn't it possible that Griffith's Od is just inherently evil anyway because of the fact he is Femto? Since the boy isn't producing any kind of reaction from the brand when he's close by while Griffith did, I would have thought their powers and Ods don't really have to do with each other (although since he is so powerful, maybe he did borrow some of Griffith's power, if we're assuming he is the demon infant that is).
Er, Unicorns are not exactly symbols of power or battle... Guts would have to have a black horse ( with red glowing eyes ) to suit his style.
Thank you kindly, Aazealh and Puella for providing information yet again!As much as I wish for her to regain her sanity, I also think it will not be straightforward for her. I'm afraid that her psyche will force itself into amnesia at least. About the brands... Somehow I don't think there is anyone, or any force in the whole world of Berserk able to "remove" the brand completely. Not even the leader of Elfhelm. The brand goes all the way to the soul, condemning its victim into interstice. Well, maybe it's too hasty to say it's impossible, but I wouldn't be surprised in the least if that was the case. They will just have to redo the talismans from time to time.
I knew I shouldn't have tried to show off using jargon and quit while I was ahead! I didn't really mean Griffith's and Danan's ods would feel similar in nature but that it would be interesting if whatever it is about Griffith and the Boy that causes the latter's manifestation and/or projection was similar to a trait or ability of Danan's that Schierke thought she recognized. I'm assuming Schierke would recognize Griffith's od since she presumably felt it through that bird, so like Aaz said the Boy's is probably unique.
I personally find that the final page in this episode draws an especially striking resemblance to the final page in episode 175.
That was my first thought upon seeing it, but there have been similar shots featuring Griffith and others since; it's when I saw her hair when I really considered the similarities beyond that. Still not much to go on though I should add, but it's a fun thought.
LiveAnotherDave over on Reddit made a nice Imgur album of some of the new creatures introduced in this episode and historical art that bear resemblances to them. I thought y'all might be interested in taking a look. Check it out here!
I'm not expecting Elf queen to snap her fingers and bring Cascas sanity back, it will likely be a difficult process that involves Casca willing herself back into consciousness.
I think the thing that sticks out the most is the similar slender display of neck and cheek bones. No other image from the series springs to mind as matching that particular style other than the one from this episode and the one episode 175. Wish I had a screenshot I could link to for any other interested readers.
This is not the case. Guts is just very strong. Remember that he could swing the Dragon Slayer long before it was imbued with "evil power".
You are right. What if it was the other way round instead, and the new elements actually got imbued into the blade over the course of the story which allowed Guts to, for the lack of a better word, "warp the reality" around the blade, such that it can hurt beings like the Godhand.
this may be a long shot, but I wonder if this new element has anything to do with affecting the time flow around elfhelm? Maybe it also contributes to the slower time flow between elfhelm and the outside world.
2. Could it be that Miura knows about the art of Brian Froud? Because some creatures look suspiciously similar.

Vienna — YOU can't escape classical music here. Its history hits you almost from the moment you step out of the City Air Terminal: the bust of Bruckner at the lovely Stadtpark and, around the corner from there, a full-size gold statue of Johann Strauss, the waltz king. In the city center, the Staatsoper, the city's famed opera house that gives Vienna its geographical and cultural bearings.
It is the city of Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Strauss, Bruckner, Mahler, Schoenberg, Berg and Webern, and their work has created a pervasive cultural soundtrack in a city whose historic splendor and beauty are second only to Paris among European capitals.
But the old is giving way to the new. Vienna is on the verge of becoming a modern, multicultural city. After decades of postwar cultural conservatism and a recent spell of political extremism, Vienna is trying to steady its bearings as a 21st century city, a crossroads between Western and Eastern Europe, an intersection between past and present.
A former Nazi psychiatric hospital is now an avant-garde performance venue, and the headquarters of the Wiener Mozartjahr 2006, Vienna's celebration of the beloved composer's 250th birthday in February, stands, symbolically, in a plaza between the Staatsoper and Starbucks.

French tomato tart with a lot of mustard
I guess you gathered from yesterday's tomato posting that we're swamped with tomatoes this year. That means lots of tomato dishes - like this flavorsome tomato salad, for instance. Here's another flavoursome tomato dish - a mustardy French tomato tart that's excellent with some peppery green salad leaves. Choose tomato variety with few seeds, as then you don't have to deseed or drain them first and save some valuable time for yourself.
French tomato tart
(Sinepine tomatipirukas)
Serves six to eight
200 g plain flour
pinch of salt
100 g butter
1 egg
3 Tbsp sour cream, creme fraiche or double cream
3 Tbsp Dijon mustard
5 to 6 medium sized tomatoes
sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper
fresh thyme or oregano
extra virgin olive oil, to drizzle
First make the tart crust. Mix flour, salt and cold cubed butter in the food processor until crumbly, then add the egg and give it a few turns. Press into a dough ball with your hands, then use your fingers to line a 26 cm pie dish with the dough. Pierce the bottom with a fork in a couple of places, then place into the fridge for half and hour.
Bake the cool crust in a preheated 200 C oven for about 15 minutes (you can also blind-bake, but I didn't bother with that).
Combine mustard and cream, then spread onto the base of the pre-baked pie crust.
Cut the tomatoes, crosswise, into 5 mm slices, layer nicely onto the mustard layer. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake in the pre-heated 200 C oven for about 40 minutes, until tomatoes are nicely roasted and coloured.
Drizzle with some olive oil, sprinkle fresh thyme or oregano leaves on top and serve either hot or cold.

Greenwich woman charged in tire-iron beating
STAMFORD -- An unemployed hairdresser accused of knocking out a Darien woman's teeth with a tire iron in November pleaded not guilty to a felony assault charge Tuesday at state Superior Court in Stamford. Rhiannon Noell Stefanick, 23, of 90 Deerfield Drive, Greenwich, was arraigned on a charge of first-degree assault.
Stefanick and her public defender, Barry Butler, elected a jury trial at her hearing before Judge Richard Comerford. Butler declined comment on the case. Stefanick is to return to court Feb. 14.
According to her arrest affidavit, police were called to the front of Liberation House, a Main Street drug treatment facility, at 9:30 a.m. Nov. 12, where a woman was attacked by another with a metal bar. A witness said a light blue car was parked across the street for an hour or more before the victim crossed Relay Place toward Liberation House.
The man said he saw a woman get out of the car and strike the victim several times in the face and head with what appeared to be a 10-inch long bar, the affidavit said.
The assailant then drove off, leaving the Darien woman lying on the sidewalk, the report said.
At Stamford Hospital, , she told police that she had gotten several threatening phone calls since she had met a man a week earlier. The woman told police that she believed they were coming from the man's ex-girlfriend.
In a statement that the woman had to type because she could not speak clearly, she said she remembered a woman walking up to her and saying "I told you not to mess with my man." The next day, the woman was able to pick out Stefanick's picture.
Stefanick turned herself in Dec. 28 and was released on $25,000 bond.


text: Contrary to initial expectations, we have not been as lucky with the reliability of our PV system as we have with the SWH system. Our largest trouble spot was with our Enphase M190 microinverters. As of this writing, seven of 20 microinverters have failed, and others are showing intermittent output. While the Enphase warranty provides replacement microinverters, it does not cover the labor cost of hiring a solar contractor to replace the equipment, nor the expense of the boom lift necessary to service modules on a second-floor, 38° metal roof. Replacement of the failed units is averaging $180 per unit. The graph illustrates the decline of our PV production due to the periodic inverter failures, which began in 2012.

I took about a hundred pictures with my Fuji 2400Zoom camera. They were stored on a 64MB SmartMedia chip. I accidentally erased all of the pictures without realizing it. I took six more pictures before realizing what a stupid thing I had done. I immediately pulled the chip from the camera.
Are my hundred pictures gone forever? Is there any way to recover or undelete them? Even if the six new pictures copied over six of my old pictures I would still like to recover 94 pictures if I can.
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

First of all I would like to say I'm very grateful to Tammy and April Lawson for having the courage to step up and tell their story of their loved one David Ray Clarkson Jr. I am truly sorry for their loss.
My story is a lot like their story. I have a family member who is going through the same thing as David did. There seems to be no help for them out there. We don't have facilities for the mentally challenged and they definitely need help. They don't just need to be thrown into jail, which only makes it worse. They need to be rehabilitated.

Local housing advocate honored
Linda Thompson, a mental health program specialist with the Cameron/Elk County Mental Health/Mental Retardation Program, is receiving the 2010 Homes Within Reach "Unsung Hero Award" from the Housing Alliance of Pennsylvania at a conference in Harrisburg this week. The award is given to people who help prevent homelessness in their area. Liz Hersh, the Executive Director of the Housing Alliance of Pennsylvania, said Thompson, who is a Pennsylvania Transition to Home (PATH) Project mental health specialist, will receive the award for her longtime efforts to help people with mental retardation and mental illness find accessible, safe and affordable housing in their communities. "It's for people who do some of the hardest, but the most important work, I think, in the whole wide world. She's really a great local leader on these issues," Hersh said, adding that Thompson's work reflects the overall goals of the Housing Alliance of ensuring that all commonwealth residents have a decent place to call home. Hersh said Thompson's work is challenging because some people with mental retardation or more severe mental illness may need access to certain services and housing types, but a lack of options often relegates them inappropriately to a nursing home. Thompson helps coordinate services and locate housing so they have a living space that is suitable for their needs and within their means in their communities. "Having those resources is critical," Hersh said. For more information on this story, see the November 10 edition of The Daily Press.

This is my story
I've always wanted to be a teacher. I chose the University of Hartford to get my teacher training because the Education faculty places you in an urban school setting to gain experience right from the start in freshman year.
As a student teacher, I have done one-on-one, small group, and whole class instruction in writing, math, and reading. So in my particular placement, I've had been given the opportunity to try out all three and see what strategies work and what don't work and adjust accordingly.
The most rewarding part of being a student teacher is having my students gain an understanding of what I taught them. I spend so much time planning my lessons and thinking about how I'm going to deliver them. I really focus on how to make it engaging for them. When they are engaged and they are excited about what I'm teaching them, that's the most rewarding thing. I've definitely had those moments, particularly in reading, when I've been working on a lesson for some time, then I've seen the light bulb go off and the student says, "I understand it. I got it." It's great when they can then do it on their own.
I can't wait to get my own class so I can work with a whole new set of kids and really see the progress that my kids will make from September to June and know that it's because of what I taught them.

A wonderful invention. It is a pity that screws cannot be standardized. Have you ever tried to scrap an old computer...nuts, bolts, star bits, torque bits, Phillips, straight. Some hard drives need a T9 and T21 torque bit. The tool box is getting cluttered.
"July 7, 1936: Get a Grip — Phillips Screws Up the Toolbox"
Randy Alfred
July 7th, 2011
Randy Alfred
July 7th, 2011
1936: Henry F. Phillips receives patents for a new kind of screw and the new screwdriver needed to make it work. It changes the worlds of mass production and machine repair, not to mention your home toolbox.
Phillips was a Portland, Oregon, businessman who invented something to solve a problem that few home-repair folk or do-it-yourselfers even knew existed. In those days, if you wanted to drive a screw into a hole, you just grabbed the right-size slotted screwdriver and did the deed.
The only thing you needed to puzzle over was the size. Too big wouldn't fit; too small wouldn't give you enough torque.
So why do you now need to grab the right kind, as well as size, of screwdriver? It's enough to make you cross.
Phillips wasn't trying to make life with hand tools easier. He was trying to solve an industrial problem. To drive a slot screw, you need hand-eye coordination to line up the screwdriver and the slot. If you're a machine — especially a 1930s machine — you ain't got no eye, and your hand coordination may depend on humans.
The Phillips-head screw and Phillips screwdriver were designed for power tools, especially power tools on assembly lines. The shallow, cruciform slot in the screw allows the tapering cruciform shape of the screwdriver to seat itself automatically when contact and rotation are achieved. That saves a second or two, and if you've got hundreds of screws in thousands of units (say, cars), you're talking big time here.
And not only does a power Phillips driver get engaged fast, it stays engaged and doesn't tend to slide out of the screw. Another advantage: It's hard to overscrew with a power tool. The screwdriver will likely just pop out when the screw is completely fastened.
It turns out that Peter L. Robertson had patented a self-seating, square-socket screw in Canada in 1907. Some Canadian factories adopted it, but Robertson was vexed by the onslaught of World War I and his own insistence on maintaining tight control of the technology.
Phillips applied for his own patents in 1934 and '36. After years of rejection, he got the American Screw Co. to spend $500,000 ($8 million in today's money) to develop a manufacturing process. American Screw convinced General Motors to try the newfangled fasteners on the 1936 Cadillac.
Presto, change-o. Nearly all American automakers had switched to Phillips screws by 1940. The American jeeps and tanks of World War II, not to mention the aircraft, were assembled with speed and efficiency, thanks in part to Henry Phillips.
Today, manufacturers can choose from a wide array of screws — including the Robertson square, the Allen hex and some exotic varieties developed by the Phillips Screw Co.
If you're a weekend handyperson who has to keep your toolbox stocked with all kinds of screwdrivers (or driver bits), the variety may be annoying. The Phillips cam-out — when you've gone far enough and the tool pops out of the screw — has led to plenty of workshop profanity. And loosening a machine-driven Phillips screw with a hand-held screwdriver has apparently reminded many, judging from their language, of the tenacity of a female dog protecting its newborn pups.
Still, remember Henry Phillips gently. His screws are holding your life together.
