During his medical studies he falls in love with a waitress, Mildred Rogers (Kim Novak), who takes advantage of his attraction to her. When Mildred leaves him to marry another man, Philip falls in love with a writer (Siobhan McKenna), who encourages him to complete his studies. Under her tutelage, Philip excels in medical school. But when Mildred returns, pregnant and abandoned by her husband, Philip takes her in and cares for her, breaking off with the kind-hearted writer. Staying with Philip at his flat, Mildred has an affair with his best friend. Confronting her with her indiscretions, Mildred tells Philip how repulsed she is by his club foot and walks out on him. Philip once again throws himself into his studies, passing his examinations and taking an internship at a London hospital. There he hears Mildred has become a cheap prostitute. Philip travels to the brothel where she is living in poverty with her child and takes her under his wing once again. As before, Mildred walks out on Philip, trashing his apartment and taking to the streets. When Philip comes upon her again, he finds that her child has died and she is suffering from the advanced stages of syphilis. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Critic Reviews
Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
Though Kim Novak is not Bette Davis, this third version of Maugham's popular book is more truthful to the literay source, maintaining its realistic tone and sordid ending.
Steve Crum, Video-Reviewmaster.com
Remake of Bette Davis classic is OK.

American Matt Kuchar kept his composure while others around him caved under the pressure to win The Players Championship tournament by two shots on Sunday.
Kuchar closed with a two-under 70 to finish at 13-under-par 275 for his fourth win on the USPGA Tour. Of the four wins, it is by far the biggest title of his career.
"What an amazing feeling to hoist this trophy and win among one of the strongest fields in golf," Kuchar said.
Martin Laird rolled in five birdies in a seven-hole stretch from the seventh to grab a share of the lead. But Laird closed with a bogey for a five-under 67 at the TPC Sawgrass.
Laird shared second place at 11-under-par 277 with Zach Johnson (68), Ben Curtis (68) and Rickie Fowler (70).
Luke Donald closed with a six-under 66 to end alone in sixth at minus-nine. He needed a solo fourth or better to regain the world No. 1 ranking.
Third-round leader Kevin Na stumbled to a four-over 76 as he dropped into a tie for seventh place at eight-under-par 280.
Na was trying to be the first 54-hole leader to win the title since Canada's Stephen Ames did so in 2006.

"At Blue Waters Your Health Becomes Crystal Clear"
503 First St. South Suite # 4
Yelm, WA 98597
ph: 360-790-5625
Welcome to
Blue Waters Acupuncture Center
Ph: 360-790-5625
click link: Contact Us/Hours/Directions
Are you in Pain?
Come let me help and guide you as you explore the possibilities of over twenty centuries of medicine in continuous use and how it may be able to help you or those you care about.
Dr. Michael E. Carruth, MD, EAMP, LAc
Diplomate of Oriental Medicine (WA)
Educational Degrees: MD, MAcOM
(Licensed only as an Acupuncturist in WA State)
To read my bio please click on the following link: bio.
Are you aching, in chronic pain, or are you suffering in some way?
As an MD and an LAc I am in the unique position to understand the medicine we all grew up with, but I can also help you to understand how Chinese Medicine can help you feel better.
Acupuncture is not primary care (in Washington State) nor are we an urgent care nor emergency care center. But we are appropriate for most mild to moderate acute or chronic medical problems.
We are often able to help in situations where western medicine has done its very best to deliver state of the art care, but they have nothing else to offer or don't find anything wrong after a thorough medical workup, but the problem or the pain still exists and persists, or the side effects of the medicine(s) is/are un-acceptable.
We can also be quite helpful for most mild to moderate acute or chonic muscle sprains or strains, spasms, or their 'knots' or 'rocks'as many patients call them.
In its long history Chinese Medicine dealt with every aspect of human life and dis-ease. Chinese Medicine over the course of 2 millenia understands that emotions can and do affect the physical health of the body and therefore this aspect is addressed where and when appropriate.
And by the same token, ills of the body can and often do affect the emotions so this is addressed when involved.
Chinese medicine at its best has always considered the person as a whole in which there are many tightly and intricately linked components which are inseparable and to take care of a person as it has the capacity to do is to address all issues as any one issue can and often does affect the others issues. To not do so is like doing a 32 point inspection at your care care center, finding out that the battery is weak, the brake pads need replacing, and one head light is out, and then they only replace the battery. How well is the car going to work then, and for how long?
Western medicine on the other hand, is also powerful in its own right in that it took a reductionistic point of view in seeing each organ as separate and looked at its function from a biochemical point of view.
I offer a free one half hour consult - where you can come in, meet me and have the unique opportunity to ask any questions about Acupuncture that you have been wondering about but never had the chance to ask a trained professional before.
If you come see me for treatment, I will tell you what is wrong with you from a Traditional Chinese Medical point of view. We will go over a report of findings where I will discuss with you your diagnosis (or diagnoses), how long it may take to correct each imbalance, the costs involved, and/or the Acupuncture insurance benefits you qualify for if you have insurance.
For thousands of years Chinese Medicine was the only medicine to treat an entire nation of people, now it still treats 1/5th of the world's population along with the addition of Western Medicine. There are not too many problems that Chinese Medicine cannot help. Why is that? Because your body contains this system of medicine. It comes standard equipment in you.
When we use Acupuncture, we are only activating and enhancing your body's own natural healing abilities. You already possess this meridian system in your body even if you are not aware of it yet. So do dogs, cats, and horses to name a few animals. The Qi and Blood that flow thru this system are vital to nourish and maintain all of the body's cells, tissues and organs.
When the flow of Qi is insufficient, unbalanced, or interrupted, illness may occur due to deficiencies, excesses, or blockages, and pain often results.
Many diseases have been treated by Chinese Medicine long before Western Medicine (MD - Allopathic) gave them their current recent western disease name.
Here are some of the concerns I can help you with. I specialize in:
1.First read what our patients have to say:
( Note: There has been no editing so any grammatical errors were left in)
How Acupuncture helped me: After the delivery of my son who is nowalmost 3, I had several post operative complications that kept me in the hospital an extended period of time. About 6 weeks after the delivery, I started developing constant pain and fatigue beyond anything I had ever experienced before. I saw many doctors that attributed it to my weight, the fact that I had a newborn, and many other things. None of them offered me any help. The pain got so bad that Iwas put on prescription pain medications just so I could function in everyday life.
That pain prevented me from being the type of mother that I wanted to be. The fatigue made me essentially non functional at home with my family. At work,where Im a nurse, I was able to perform my job but I knew that the pain and fatigue was preventing me from giving my all. As time went on, the pain and fatigue got worse and there were times when I contemplated suicide because I feltlike there was NO HOPE for me to be normal.
After 2 years with no answers from multiple doctors, my husband urged me to
try Acupuncture. What did I have to loose? When I started treatment with Mike about 9 months ago, it was the first time in over 2 years that I had hope that anything would get better. After meeting Mike and hearing about energy points, yin and yang, and liver fire, I raised a skeptical eyebrow. It took me a few months before I didnt chuckle to myself when Mike would mention Qui.
After I started treatments, I started to feel less pain over time. It wasnt a
dramatic fix but it has been a long lasting one. I started to remember the person I was before all the pain and fatigue. I remember being able to watch a movie without falling asleep. I remember when I could shower without the aid of a bathchair because I was in too much pain to stand. I remember this person, I remember ME.
I still have days when some pain creeps back in or where Im more tired than
usual but my WORST day now would have been a day that I prayed for at my
worst. I am so thankful that I found Mike and his office.
Cortney, Age 30
Deborah, age 52
Initial problems:
Linda, age 52
How Acupuncture helped me: Acupuncture has helped to restore my life. In
June of 2007, I had a stroke at the age of sixty-one. It took three weeks in the
hospital before I was able to come home. I was unable to return to my job as a
teachers assistant in September. Finally in January I had more strength and
mobility and was able to return at four hours a day. I had to use a cane and my
energy level was low. This continued until Nov. 2009 when I went to my first
In the next three months all the issues I had from my stroke had nearly disappeared. My ability to think clearly, to walk without a cane and energy weakness were gone. Without these treatments my life would never
have changed.
Susan, Age 64

I came to DepotNet from another service company because of poor tech support. I was with the other service for about 3 weeks and was no closer to going live with my site than I was at the beginning. I came to DepotNet less than a week ago and after one final review to make sure everything is working properly, I will be transfering my domain name and going live with the site. All this in less than a week with the help of their fantastic tech support team and believe me, I flooded them with questions and requests during the last few days and they came through each time. I am a very satisfied customer of DepotNet and glad I switched.

Puffin census on the Farne Islands
Every five years, National Trust rangers carry out a puffin census on the Farne Islands, off the northeast coast of England. The beautiful birds return to their breeding grounds on the islands, which offer excellent sources of food, few ground predators, and good protection for nesting. This count carries particular significance because the last survey in 2008, recording 36,500 pairs, indicated that numbers had fallen by a third from the 2003 census. There is also fear that the extreme weather in the past year could affect the numbers. In March, thousands of birds washed up dead due to severely cold winds, and last summer, many of the birds were flooded out of their homes. Rangers are now faced with the daunting task of counting every burrow-nesting bird, which involves reaching down to each of the underground nests to see if it is occupied. The results will be ready in July. -Leanne Burden Seidel (15 photos total)

Tornadoes wreak havoc in US
Tornadoes can form anytime of year, but occur most frequently in April, May, and June, due to favorable weather conditions. Earlier this week a massive 200-mile-per-hour EF5 tornado hit Moore, Okla., killing some two dozen people, damaging thousands of structures, and causing an estimated $2 billion in damage. This year, twisters have already touched down in Kansas, Texas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Missouri, and Alabama. ( 46 photos total)

Afghanistan civilians: April 2013
One of the most desperately poor, war-torn nations on earth, Afghanistan attracts our attention mostly for the wrong reasons. Well over 30 percent of the population lives in absolute poverty, with as many clinging to their places just barely above the poverty line. While Afghanistan is the world's leader in opium exports, domestic consumption afflicts almost a quarter of a million, with an additional 150,000 addicted to heroin, triple the number from 2005. Violence against women and girls continues. But rich cultural traditions abound, and Afghan society is making progress. Gathered here are images of the colorful yet troubled lives of Afghan civilians. -- Lane Turner (29 photos total)

Deadly crossing
In 2012, sheriff's deputies in Brooks County found 129 bodies, around double the amount from the year before and six times the number recorded in 2010. Most of those who die succumb to the punishing heat and rough terrain that comprise the ranch lands of south Texas. Reuters photographer, Eric Thayer, traveled to Brooks County, Texas and Reynosa, Mexico to investigate the rising rates of immigrant deaths along the border there, spending time at a migrant's hostel in Mexico and with U.S. Border Patrol in Brooks County. Many migrants, after spending several weeks traveling through Mexico and past the Rio Grande, spend a few days in a "stash house," such as Casa del Migrante, in Reynosa, Mexico, and many are ignorant of the treacherous journey ahead. -- Paula Nelson ( 28 photos total)

Sugar and salt
Although modern techniques often bring sugar and salt to our tables, these two simple treats for the palate are still harvested and processed in traditional, if not ancient methods the world over. Over 160 million tons of sugar is produced annually in well over 100 countries, most of it processed from cane in tropical countries. The world uses 240 million tons of salt every year in everything from food to industrial applications.

National Geographic Traveler Magazine: 2013 Photo Contest
The National Geographic Traveler Magazine photo contest, now in its 25th year, has begun. There is still plenty of time to enter. The entry deadline is Sunday, June 30, at 11:59 p.m. Entrants may submit their photographs in any or all of the four categories: Travel Portraits, Outdoor Scenes, Sense of Place and Spontaneous Moments. The magazine's photo editors showcase their favorite entries each week in galleries. You can also vote for your favorites.

Wildfires in California
California Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. yesterday declared this week as "Wildfire Awareness Week" in recognition of last week's devastating fires northwest of Los Angeles. His proclamation noted, "In an average year, wildfires burn 900,000 acres of California's timber and grasslands." Rains that moved into the area on Monday helped extinguish the fires that started last Thursday along US Route 101 near Camarillo Springs and Thousand Oaks, endangering some 4,000 homes. -- Lloyd Young ( 31 photos total)

By rail
Simple and efficient, rail travel nonetheless inspires a sense of romance. By train, subway, and a seemingly endless variety of trams, trolleys, and coal shaft cars, we've moved on rails for hundreds of years. Industry too relies on the billions of tons of freight moved annually by rolling stock. Gathered here are images of rails in our lives, the third post in an occasional series on transport, following Automobiles and Pedal power. -- Lane Turner (47 photos total)

Daily Life: April 2013
I look forward each month to browsing the compilation of "slice of life" images from around the world. They offer us a visual break, if you will, from the tragedies, disasters, wars and violence seemingly so pervasive in our world. Through these images, we can immerse ourselves in the simplicity of everyday life. Daily Life: April 2013 takes us to North and South Korea, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Spain, Indonesia, China, Russia; and around the United States to California, Texas, Maine, Florida, Kansas, Washington state, and more. Enjoy.--- Paula Nelson ( 49 photos total)

The Miami University-bound forward scored 23 goals with 37 assists and was a team-leading +29 with 26 PMs in 52 regular season games. He was scoreless and -2 in five playoff games. Mullin led all scorers with 6 goals in four games playing for the USHL in the 2011 U19 World Junior A Challenge.
2011-12: Mullin was Miami University's third-leading scorer as a freshman. Skating in 37 of 41 games, he scored 11 goals with 15 assists and was plus-17 with 10 penalty minutes; working his way up to Miami's top line with fellow freshman Austin Czarnik and Reilly Smith (DAL) after beginning the year in a lower line role. The RedHawks finished fourth in the CCHA and earned an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament after defeating Bowling Green in the third place game of the CCHA tournament.
Talent Analysis
Mullin is a light, undersized forward who can score goals and create opportunities for his teammates with his speed. He has the requisite shot and stick handling skills to be a threat at high speeds. While his size and strengths are concerns as he continues to move up the hockey ladder, he is a very productive offensive player.
Mullin is a long-range project for Tampa Bay, as he must add some strength if he is to withstand the physical play and competitive nature of pro hockey. Thus far, he has met the challenges and is a constant scoring threat due to his speed, offensive instincts and determination, and technical skill level. He will likely need most of his college career to continue to develop. While in the past players his size were often outstanding college players but rarely received opportunities at the pro level, the success of players like Patrick Kane and Brian Gionta have given scouts a reason to consider small, gifted forwards.

A 31-year-old man has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of Adonis Reed, a 4-year-old boy found alone inside a Long Island apartment last week.
At his arraignment Saturday, prosecutors said Jonathan Thompson had been babysitting Adonis when he punched the child twice in the abdomen after the boy refused to take a nap. Thompson, who pleaded not guilty, kept his head down and remained quiet.
Two-dozen people who identified themselves as friends and family of the 4-year-old packed the courtroom and screamed threats and curses at Thompson as he was remanded into custody without bail.
Adonis was found unconscious on a couch in an apartment in a private house on a quiet Amityville street on Wednesday afternoon. Thompson allegedly called 911 and fled the apartment before authorities arrived. Adonis was pronounced dead at a hospital, and his death was classified as a homicide.
The medical examiner's report showed multiple lacerations on the child's liver, prosecutors said.
Authorities say Thompson is the boyfriend of the child's guardian and godmother. His home address is the same as the residence where the boy was found. He was arrested in Brooklyn Friday with the help of the U.S. Marshals Service.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously Monday that when farmers use patented seed for more than one planting in violation of their licensing agreements, they are liable for damages.
Billed as David vs. Goliath, the case pitted an Indiana farmer against the agribusiness behemoth Monsanto.
Originally published on Mon May 13, 2013 8:50 am
A unanimous Supreme Court ruled Monday that an Indiana farmer infringed on Monsanto's patent when he planted soybeans that had been genetically modified by Monsanto without buying them from the agribusiness giant.
At least 20 states have introduced bills over the past year that would require labeling of genetically modified food. The common point of contention is the pervasiveness of grains that have had their DNA altered. But some of these proposed laws take aim specifically at genetically engineered meat or fish.

Which class does the most Melee damage? I have a lvl 18 warrior, and I do minimal damage. Just wondering if Rogues, hunters, or paladins do any more damage than warriors. Thanks.
pallies are the lowest on DPS the highest DPS classes are rogue and mages. Warriors can deal a lot of good DPS bursts too. BTW, you are just 18... to really judge on the class balance, you need to be 60 and properly geared. so well, be patient.
he's asking about melee damage. at 60 the tow highest dpsers are rogues and warriors. hunters do good dps, but only ranged dps, not melee. with you're warrior once you get your talent tree full and have a good two hander you'll have high melee damage...same if you're a dagger specced rogue.
rogues should out dps a warrior of similar gear and skill on the other hand, warriors are more sought after end game as 1/2 servers are rogues (at least on eredar) so warrior might be a little easier to get gear end game
And the warrior will need that gear. My druid does okay DPS... But druids a real odd ball char... And you dont often see it considered in any groupings like this one. And gear doesnt effect my dps when i shapeshift. And has anyone grinded with a pally?i cant imagine how long that would take. Rogue is easily the highest dps melee class. I didnt like warrior as much, kinda boring in this game. But my friend loves it. He just hit 40 tonight. And has no gold for his mount :cry:
Druids are good for PVP. They'll get picked over a preist any day. Leveling my paladin wasn't really that slow of a process and the free mount makes things easier if you havn't played the game before.
A good rogue will out dps a warrior with similar quality gear, no questions asked. Not burst damage of course but overal dps will be constantly higher on the rogue. But if you are placing a good warrior vs a shitty rogue then the warrior can win. I out dps rogues on my warrior on damage meters occasionaly, which aren't to accurate in themselves but nontheless warriors can do good damage. Now a good rogue, I can't outdamage, but I stay fairly close to them. My gear consists of an arcanite reaper, lionheart helm, valor breastplate and boots, eldritch reinforced legplates, onyxia tooth pendant, um blackhands breadth, painweaver band and band of protection, some epic crit gloves which the name escapes me, and sgt majors plate wristguards. rogues i compare to wear a bit of nightslayer gear and have MC weapons.

50 years of pizzalicious goodness
Mary's Pizza celebrates a half century of yum
Fifty years of family includes Toto Albano (holding pizza, and behind him in rows left to right, Peggy Albano, Anna Byerly, Isabella Albano, Bruce Lane, Nanette Albano-Lane, Terri Albano-Williamson, Luigi Albano-Dito, Mary Byerly, Vince Dito, Marie Albano-Dito, Cullen Williamson, Vince Albano, Graziano Albano Dito, Elysse Lane, Taylor Lane, Anthony Albano, Vinny Albano.
It began with lasagna. Meaty and pungent with herbs, she made it for a near neighbor because that was her way. Just a little thing, no trouble. A good plate of pasta to round out an evening of briscola with friends. The lasagna was good. So good that people couldn't stop eating, they stuffed themselves silly and forgot all about cards. Soon the whole neighborhood knew: Mary Fazio could cook.
She learned as a girl in San Francisco when, as the eldest of six, she inherited her mother's apron prematurely. Using a wobbly soapbox as a riser, her father at her side barking orders, little Mary learned the basic elements of sturdy Italian cooking. How to roll gnocchi, what marinara should taste like, how to turn dough into herbed sticks. Her mother was ailing and Mary was needed; by grade six she'd been forced to quit school. The kitchen became her classroom and she proved an apt pupil, turning out savory inventions for her siblings night after night. But by age fifteen she'd had enough. She ran off to Sausalito with the dark-eyed boy who would become her first husband, and together they produced two children. There were twists and turns and a few bumps in the road, and before long she had landed in Sonoma. Divorced, unschooled, with two mouths to fill.
Some people collapse under the weight of uncertainty, others get jittery with nerves. Mary rolled up her sleeves and began cooking. Her restaurant job at the Mission Inn paid fifty cents an hour, but the customers were generous with tips. They liked Mary, liked her big personality, liked the cheery way she went about her work. She made them feel welcome and she put them at ease. And none of them went away hungry. With her son Toto earning wages as a towel boy at the Hot Springs, and daughter Anna taking in ironing, the little family squeaked by. There wasn't much surplus and vacations were rare, but they lived a good life none-theless.
In 1959 Sonoma was a dusty country town. There wasn't a single traffic light, and local phone numbers were only five digits long. You could walk from the Springs to the Square on a Friday night and see maybe 10 cars. Eisenhower was president, Hawaii was just a string of islands in the Pacific, and the Wine Country concept was still a twinkle in some entrepreneur's eye. Life was simple and slow.
A neighborhood friend approached Mary with an idea. He was setting up shop on Highway 12, a storefront he would call the Food Center. The storefront came with a small, empty shack, and he thought maybe Mary could make use of it. Her cooking was legend all over the neighborhood, and he figured she knew the business. The building wasn't much, but with a little elbow grease and a plan, maybe she could find a way to transform it. For the daughter of immigrants, this was the shiny brass ring: the American Dream come to life. Working for others was fine for a while, but Mary knew the only real way up was on one's own. To run a business, to be the padrone, this was why her people had migrated from Ischia to begin with. She drained her small savings and went all out, setting the place up to be just so. Added a dough mixer and a new oven, squeezed seven second-hand tables onto the floor. She attached a jury-rigged porch to the front of the building and hung a small shingle void of pretense: Mary's Pizza Shack was in business.
"You could smell the Pizza Shack from a mile away," says Anna. "The aroma..." She looks into the distance, remembering those long ago days. "It was what she called 'peasant food,' everything from scratch." The idea of pizza was new in America then, and customers were scarce at the start. "I can remember sitting down with someone for an hour and 45 minutes before getting up to make pizza," recalls Toto. "Pizza was not a big hit. It was just starting to come in." So Mary added soups and a few pastas to the menu, and little by little business grew.
The remarkable thing about chasing a dream is that work, often as not, feels like play. Mary was in her element at the Shack, stirring and kneading and spicing the food. "It was like her little playhouse," says Cullen Williamson, grandson-in law, who's been with the company 28 years. She'd get up in the morning and head straight to work, get her sauces bubbling in their pots. Then she'd drive into to town to collect fresh breads from the bakery, leaving the door unlocked and the stove set to simmer. Toto was sent to the city to buy flour each week, filling the bed of an old truck. "You should see what he did to this old pickup truck," laughs Anna. "It was just flattened down." Meats and produce were fetched from Santa Rosa, as Mary's Shack was too small for vendors to bother with delivery.
Mary followed a simple recipe at work: great food, friendly service, and a clean house. Her kitchen, open to the dining room, was always spic and span and she'd chat up the customers while she worked. "She was Cheers way before its time," laughs grandson Vince Albano, remembering how his Nonni did business. "People loved her. She was a community grandma. People of all ages loved and respected her."
Before long, seven tables and the porch weren't enough, so Mary repurposed her back supply room. Now customers were marched right through her kitchen to the new tables in the back, a seating that conveyed special privilege. For eighteen years Mary did business in the little pink shack on the side of the highway. Then in 1978, without telling anyone, she bought a new location, a big empty lot just a few clicks up the road, with a giant magnolia in one corner. She built a new restaurant-a big place, in no way a "shack"-but kept everything else exactly the same. Same menu, same friendly service, same open kitchen, same Mary. But now with 40 tables she needed more help, which was terrific because her family had grown. Tito had four kids and Anna had three, and all of them were pressed into service. "My first job," Vince remembers, "was belly-crawling under the deck to retrieve silverware. I got a nickel for each piece, which I used to buy gumballs." Mary's little idea had grown into a real family affair, and the story had only just started.
- Mary's daughter Anna
It's been 50 years since Mary's Shack first opened its doors, and its remarkable growth now includes eighteen locations. The first was in Cotati, the farthest in Anderson (near Redding), and a favorite draws crowds on Sonoma's Plaza. On a recent evening there, we're greeted by a genuinely friendly host. His smile is warm as he leads us to sit, and the vibe in the place is relaxed. Families crowd the room; parents sip wine and indulge in a bit of benign neglect. At the next table a little boy squeezes mustard into his empty cup and stirs happily. Soon there are breadsticks served piping hot, and the children inhale them in seconds. A Caesar salad wins three "yum's" from our daughter, and the pizza puts both kids in a lovely food-induced stupor. The gnocchi are little blond pillows of joy, and the scampi is fresh and delicious. Everything's served fast and real hot, and the waitress is friendly and capable. Though we can barely stand more we order dessert, and a couple of huge sweets arrive. The Bomba-caramel heart, peanut butter gelato, coated in milk chocolate-undoes a whole week of dietary discipline, and the hot chocolate chip cookie covered in ice cream wins raves from the kids. The four of us are sated and stuffed for under 80 bucks, tip included.
In the early 1980s, after 20-some years of doing it all, Mary began to slow down. Seventy years old but still spry, she started transitioning the responsibility of daily operations to others, though she still enjoyed the feel of her hands in fresh dough. When Toto began expanding the business, opening up different locations, Mary insisted on making the gnocchi for each. She'd get shuttled from store to store, mixing and rolling, making sure that the dish was just right. This was her baby, after all, the Pizza Shack thing; her legacy and her family's inheritance. It would be her way or no way at all. "Every time I made a decision, it was with her in mind," says Toto, the son to whom the torch was eventually passed. "I worry that if something were to happen, the one who would be most disappointed would be my mother."
Mary Fazio died in 1999, and Toto "retired" soon after. "He still calls in every day," laughs Vince of his father. "He wants to make sure we're doing things right." The company that started in a humble pink shack at the side of a highway now sprawls across Northern California. The business begun by the single mother with a fistful of recipes employs 900 people now, and the families of her seven grandchildren built their careers there. Family businesses aren't easy, and this one has seen its share of dissent. Italian to the tips of their toes, Mary's tribe has been known to get boisterous in negotiations. "It has not," Toto says of growing the business, "been all peaches and cream." Vincent remembers the occasional loud debate, too, his Nonni and Toto and Anna gesturing wildly, all shouting in Italian. But family is family at the end of the day, and besides, what trouble can't be bested by a plate of spaghetti? They'd sit down together and break bread and drink wine, and with full bellies would-always-make peace.
The company is now in the hands of the grandchildren, though the specter of Mary hovers near. Her recipes still anchor the menu, and the friendly service she prized is a given. But the restaurant business is famously fickle, and the family accepts change as inevitable. "In the early 1990s we really realized people's tastes were changing, and that we had to do some new things," says Cullen, whom the family calls Cully. "We went to Mary, Toto and Anna and said 'Hey, we want to try some things.' I remember going to her with Canadian bacon and pineapple and she was like 'No way! You're not putting that on my pizza.'" Cully won that battle, but Mary won the war, insisting that menu changes be undertaken democratically.
When a new dish is recommended for the menu, the whole family gathers, crowding around one big table. The tasting involves lots of healthy discussion, with dissent and debate sometimes getting raucous. "It's like Thanksgiving with attitude," laughs Vince. "One of us is picking on the dish, someone else loves it." The restaurant débuts a handful of seasonal specials each year, all chosen with Mary's standards in mind.
It's an American story, Mary Fazio's story, a classic tale of grit and determination, a woman alone building something big, brick by brick. The house Mary built is both vast and complex, sheltering four generations in its shade. Not bad for an Italian girl on her own.

In this installment of Frame by Frame, we have dissected the opening cinematic to The Beatles: Rock Band to see just how many Beatles references we could find. We started out looking for song titles in hopes that they might reveal some hints about the game's setlist, but ended up finding a whole lot more. Here is a list of song references we may have found in the video. Some are obvious, some less so. Of course, this is no guarantee that all of these will actually be in the game, but they were still fun to find. -"Come Together" -"Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite" -"A Hard Day's Night" -"Dizzy Miss Lizzy" -"Rocky Raccoon" -"Maggie Mae" -"Rock and Roll Music" -"Revolution" -"The Word" -"Carry That Weight" -"Mr. Moonlight" -"Hey Bulldog" -"Twist and Shout" -"I Want You (She's So Heavy)" -"Maxwell's Silver Hammer" -"One and One is Two" -"Honey Pie" -"Michelle" -"Mean Mr. Mustard" -"Savoy Truffle" -"Hippy Hippy Shake" -"Penny Lane" -"Lovely Rita" -"Drive My Car" -"Strawberry Fields F...

Microsoft's New Model: 'Every Man For Himself'
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- I'm starting to hear rumblings that both computer giants Dell (DELL) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) are now starting to feel "betrayed" by Microsoft (MSFT). In its competition with Apple (AAPL), the software giant last week unveiled its Surface tablet, a move that seems to have sent its computer-building partners the message: it is now "every man for himself."
As annoyed as I have become with the idea that both Dell and HP somehow expected a certain level of loyalty from Microsoft, it bothers me even more for them to pretend that the partnership was even remotely working when the numbers show that Apple has been eating their lunch over the past 12 quarters.
Essentially, the message Microsoft sent on Monday was that it had grown tired of being bullied and going hungry -- and for that it shouldn't be blamed. Furthermore, in an interview after the announcement, the company's CEO Steve Ballmer said its PC partners knew about the Surface tablet well in advance of the announcement.
Now, exactly who he was referring to is unknown, but I think it is safe to say that the top two Windows vendors over the past decade certainly would have been on any short list of phone calls made -- at least one would hope.
There are definitely at least two sides to every story. What we know is that Microsoft cloaked the event leading to the announcement with secrecy. First, it announced a press conference, sent invitations to the media, but opted to be purposely vague in terms of its description of the event, except to say that it would make a "major announcement." So, do HP and Dell have legitimate gripes here? Well according to a recent Reuters article, Microsoft offered its partners the same level of treatment as it did with the press. The article claims the company did not provide its partners with any details about what it was going to say to the public until three days (Friday) before the announcement. The report claims that its partners didn't even know the tablet was going to be called "Surface." For that matter, they didn't even know it was going to be a tablet. So now what?Select the service that is right for you!

Lietaer begins by addressing what he sees as the four "megatrends" currently driving society--an "Age Wave", the growth of an increasingly aged population, the Information Revolution, Monetary Instability, and Climate Change. Lietaer argues that "all crises contain hidden opportunities", which leads him to his central thesis that "we are now engaged in a structural shift of the world system, and this shift offers an unprecedented opportunity to give birth to Sustainable Development". Much of the rest of the book deals with defining sustainable development, and offering practical scenarios for its implementation. Much of this seems vague and utopian, but along the way Lietaer offers a wonderfully lucid account of the philosophy of money, the liquidity of currency and the nature of personal savings. As a financial map of the 21st century, The Future of Money is a little hazy, but as a story of the current state of money, it's extremely entertaining. --Jerry Brotton
When Bernard analyzes the prevailing monetary systems and begins to look at the consequences (that are not necessarily consciously designed into the system, and that we are not aware of on a daily basis) you can start to see that there are positive aspects of the system that we have--and some negative ones as well.
Our money system is good at creating competition, financing business ventures that compete in the marketplace and centralizing wealth and power--which can be beneficial to development and growth--which are positive results in many cases. On the down side, the current prevailing global currencies have proved to do poorly at addressing a lot of social issues such as poverty, education, community development, unemployment, etc.
While a lot of time, effort and money has been thrown at these important social issues, they still seem to prevail and little progress has been made in the last century.
In "The Future of Money" Bernard proposes some practical solutions. He proposes creating "complementary currencies" that are designed with different rules and different system and designed in a manner that creates sustainability, community, abundance and stability.
While, at fist glance it might sound preposterous that implementing new monetary systems could have enough leverage in our lives to transform the world into a better place, Bernard give many examples of how it has worked successfully in the past and the growing emergence of many new currencies that are positively transforming many communities around the world when they have been implemented.
Bernard has the credential to speak authoritatively on the topic of Money. He has been a university professor in finance, a central banker and was one of the chief architects of the Euro currency. Not only that, Bernard provides many examples of how complimentary currencies have lead to positive results.
While I am not an economist, I do feel this book outlines a new and important philosophy of money that rivals the major thinkers of the last three centuries: Adam Smith, Karl Marx and John Maynard Keynes.
I definitely recommend this book for anybody that has a gut felling that "there has to be a better way." After you read the book, you will see that there are many possible "better ways" and that you, as an individual, have the ability to make happen.
Complementary currency systems are so called because they are intended to run in tandem with national (and multinational) currencies, not to replace them. Mr Lietaer's thesis is that such currencies can help society in two ways: by bringing people closer together, and by reducing what he sees as an artificial shortage of money, a shortage that encourages competitive behaviour and short-term thinking. "[T]he current monetary system obliges us to incur debt collectively, and to compete with others in the community, just to obtain the means to perform exchanges between us."
As a former currency trader of the year and senior Central Bank executive in Belgium, who has taught finance at several leading universities, Bernard Lietaer is no anti-capitalist prophet railing in the wilderness. Far from it: here is someone who has worked at the heart of the international financial system and found it wanting. Mr Lietaer's personal background is reflected in the tone of the book, which is always constructive and sympathetic to business. He has clearly conducted extensive research into complementary currencies, and also seems to have direct practical experience of setting up such systems: at one point, he offers a series of tips on how to set one up yourself!
While the author clearly knows his stuff when it comes to financial instruments and alternative currency systems, the book can feel rather unsophisticated, theoretically speaking. The emphasis on money as, if not quite the root of all evils, certainly a major cause of society's problems, ignores the deeper social roots of these problems. Why do we use the money system that we do? To my mind, there are two broad classes of answers to this question: one, that money is a technological solution to the globalisation of society; the other, that money is a tool of powerful interests in society. Neither type of answer is given by Mr Lietaer, who never really asks the question of why our money system is set up the way it is; but whichever is the case (and, of course, it's probably a combination of both), fundamental reform of the financial system is likely to be impossible without fundamental reform of the society that it serves.
Any criticisms, however, pale into insignificance beside the book's strengths. Mr Lietaer has written a very accessible book about a hugely complex and difficult subject. I myself have no formal economic training, yet I found his ideas very clear and easy to follow. There is a chapter explaining the workings of today's money system, an appendix ("A Primer On How Money Works") for financial novices, and a glossary of financial terms. (I particularly appreciated the discussion of how discounted cash flow analysis encourages short-term economic thinking in Chapter 9, as I had heard a lot about this technique without knowing quite what it was.)
At the same time there is plenty of more specialist information, particularly on the global reach of complementary currency schemes, for those who are more experienced in financial matters. One of the real strengths of The Future Of Money is the way that the author reaches out to diverse groups of people: for example, he stresses the business opportunities that could arise if the government monopoly on issuing currencies were ended, rather than railing against the evils of big business. Mr Lietaer is a highly constructive thinker, so there are plenty of four-point plans, schematic diagrams and the like, which should also appeal to managerial types. His argument is helped by his writing style, which is very clear and readable throughout, and lightened by a few amusing cartoons and stories.
What really sets this book apart, though, is the range of different ideas about money that it synthesises, and the unique insights that appear in its pages as a result. I came to it quite sceptical about how useful local currencies could be: I saw them as a kind of turn-the-clock-back denial of globalisation. I now realise that in the 21st century they have a lot to offer as part of a holistic solution to the world's economic problems and the erosion of community. So, for me at least, this book has succeeded in its task.
This book really opened my eyes- I would recommend it to anyone interested in what sort of world we are in the process of creating. Not only is it rigorously analytic and comprehensively well researched - but it is also genuinely inspiring. The subject is money; what it is, where it comes from, where it goes; its history, its present, its future. Unlike so many books about money it is focused not on what happens in the minds of economists but on the phenomena that point to a revolution in progress. Who better to have witnessed such phenomena first hand than Bernard Lietaer who has 30 years of experience working as a central banker, a speculative currency trader, a professor of international finance and as an international financial adviser. He wrote "The Future of Money" while a fellow at the Centre for Sustainable Resources at Berkeley, California. We often hear that money is at the root of so many of the worlds problems (unpayable debts, capital flight, foreign exchange instability, insufficient funding for social programmes etc.). However, this book attempts to turn that notion on its head in order to show that money could rather be the root of all possibilities. A crucial point is that how we use money is largely determined by what we understand it to be. We are so used to money that we think we know what it is and we tend to take it for granted - and yet the nature of money is changing, offering us the opportunity to reappraise it, reclaim it, reorganize it for the common good. Of course this process is not automatic but rather contingent upon our conscious choice. This book is an invitation to reflect upon the paradigm shift through which our understanding of money could be about to go, heralding potential changes in our society commensurate with nothing that recent history has witnessed. From a variety of perspectives, Bernard Lietaer examines this shift- evident in phenomena such as corporate scrip credits, e-money, mutual credit currencies, global barter, social care credit programmes, LETS schemes Time Dollars etc.- and he illustrates these developments not only with detailed case studies from around the world but also with imaginative scenarios that show the direction that these seed-like initiatives could take. In contrast to the efforts of monetary reformers, past and present, he does not demand root and branch change but rather adopts a complementary approach. This seems to be practical, (the many efforts of various people to challenge the foundations of the "debt-based" fiat money system have never come to anything), instead of trying to reform the current system, he shows that multiple money systems can and should co-exist, from the scale of the village to the whole globe. Moreover, not only do these systems not threaten each other but they work together ( Gresham's law is not applicable). One of these, the WIR in Switzerland has a track record now going back 70 years with a volume of credits of over 2.5 billion SF per year. It is the diversity of so much evidence from around the world that makes his case so convincing. Take Curitiba, a city in the south of Brazil, it is famous nationally as a veritable urban paradise and was recognized in 1992 by the United Nations as the world's model ecological town- it has fantastic public transport, very high rates of recycling, many parks, low pollution, high salaries, restoration programmes. If you want to find out how this was achieved then read the "Future of Money". The question is not whether or not complementary currencies work but whether we are willing to understand and support them. The theory needs to catch up with the practice. What is more, with our present way of doing things, we are approaching crunch point (global financial meltdown is just one of the threats to human civilization, Lietaer also cites the age-wave, climate change and technology driven unemployment). Things staying the same is not one of the options, even if you like the way the world is now you'll need to do something to keep it that way. At the moment we still have the opportunity of deciding to what sort of future we would like to steer our course. Perhaps most thought provoking of all is the idea of an international trading currency, backed by a basket of commodities rather than gold or belief, and thus incurring a demurrage charge to offset storage costs. This would have the effect of inversing discounted cash-flows. So rather than chopping down trees to save money to put in the bank to generate income through interest in the future, it would become more profitable to invest money to plant trees to generate income through commercial activity in the future. The workability of such a demurrage currency is attested both in theory and in practice (Keynes and Gesel): the advantages are multiple - price stability, 100% backing, straightforward transparent international convertibility, its anti-cyclical working would make it complementary to national currencies, and not least of all, it would be free from political interference. The last point results from the fact that such a currency would be instigated not by national governments but rather by an alliance of international traders. The need for it can already be seen through the increased volume of barter occurring throughout the world by transnational corporations. Plans to bring this global reference currency (the Terra) into being are already underway through the agency of the International Terra Alliance. Perhaps more than anything else, this book is a good read, if at times unsettling. It speaks not only to the brain but also to the imagination, inviting us to look again at a world that we think we know and discover where it is going. We are offered a guide to the sort of future we might wish to inhabit and a chilling evocation of one we would most likely not.
Most if not all of us can not ignore the mega trends that are impacting on all of our lives. Read more

Having been a heartbeat away from State House for 13 years, Prof George Saitoti knew he would be a major factor in how the next General Election would turn out.
On December 2, last year, long after other State House hopefuls made their intentions known, the Party of National Unity (PNU) chairm anannounced he would run for office. Unlikely to win, according to conventional wisdom and most opinion polls, he was seen as a unifying figure for a party in disarray.
The immediate support he got from current and former Members of Parliament suggests he would have been decisive in how the poll played out in Nairobi and nearby counties, which have enough votes to determine who wins the presidential race. His tragic death just six months later upsets both the Grand Coalition and the race to succeed President Kibaki.
On Saturday, at his burial, two presidential hopefuls told Kenyans they felt a duty to honour an agreement they had made with the long-time Kajiado North MP.
"Uhuru (Kenyatta) and I owe Prof Saitoti some debt," Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka said at the burial in Kitengela.
"It is the protocol the three of us signed (on how to approach the General Election) … Saitoti was prepared to give all to this nation … If we could live the letter and spirit of that protocol, this country is going to emerge stronger."
Uhuru, a key part of Kibaki's succession arrangement, had earlier said he was ready to put aside his ambition to take the country where Saitoti would have wanted it to be.
Just last week, the former VP made an impassioned speech on the need for a peaceful election, thoughts Kibaki and others recalled yesterday. Saitoti, Kalonzo and Uhuru signed a protocol in November 2010, binding them to face off in a joint presidential nomination race through the PNU alliance.
The deal was meant to avoid the acrimony that attends races with candidates backed largely by their ethniccommunities.
Before Saitoti's death, there were doubts over whether this would come to be.
Known as one who "chose his words carefully", Saitoti never got to respond to unconfirmed reports he had a secret deal with Prime Minister Raila Odinga to be a potential running mate in a ticket against Uhuru, the PM's strongest rival.

Did "Peace and Love" Reign in the World Before the Original Sin?
Long before Charles Darwin was born, St. Thomas Aquinas wrote about the subject in Summa Theologiae.
What Are We to Make of Adam and Eve?
There are those who would say that Adam and Eve designate specific historical figures. That makes some sense, acknowledges theologian Alister McGrath, but it makes even more sense to say that Adam and Eve are figures that encapsulate the human race as a whole.
