If you have to stop and think about whether it is a questionably frugal action or not, it is probably safe to not do it. For instance, recuperating the used salad dressing from the plates of your guests and pouring it back into the same salad bottles in front of their eyes is a definite social faux pas. You can be fairly certain of never seeing those guests return to grace your doorway again nor the others in your circle who will certainly catch wind of this extreme escapade.
Here's another frugal, more sanitary way you could economize on your salad dressing expenses:
Put it in a smaller squeeze bottle and let your guests use the exact amount they want to. Don't Talk About How Broke You Are
It's one thing to be broke and to let others know your budgetary constraints when they're trying to choose where you should all go to eat, but it's another thing to rub it into people's faces all the time. At some point or another, you'll alienate your friends who will be sick and tired of hearing how you don't have two pennies to rub together. Your true friends won't even care that you're broke, but they certainly don't need to be awkwardly reminded about it each time you get together. They already know and are sensitive to the situation. If they forget, you can always politely bow out of the situation or suggest a more frugal option you could all do together instead. They'll get the hint.
Don't Be a Rainy Cloud on Others' Hard-Earned Sunshine
It's nice to offer ideas on how someone can save money by buying Product A instead of Product B because it's essentially the same or to tell them when the store's next predictable sale will happen so they can save some money. People love and welcome ways to save money on things and services. However, if you say he or she doesn't need Product A because he or she could make it out of scrap lying around the house for pennies or berate him or her for spending so much money on something so unnecessary, all you're doing is making the person feel guilty for not being broke. If you really feel strongly about it, try and find a nicer way to suggest a more frugal item or service.Don't Be an Obnoxious Penny-Pincher
Yes, it is a virtue to be frugal, but there are times where an attitude that is too frugal can be quite impolite. For instance, if your colleague comes dressed as an elf and cheerily asks if you want to participate in the office's Secret Santa this year, don't refuse in a rude manner by saying: "Oh, the budget is $25 this year? I won't do it unless it's 20." Politely decline because it isn't in your budget this year.The Bottom Line
The bottom line is that how people want to spend their hard earned money after they've saved for retirement is not really your concern. It's their disposable income, not yours, and although you may think you're helping or teaching them frugal behavior, you may just be raining on their parade and alienating them.

Howard Street parking lot added to plans for New London Shaw's Cove
New London - The Shaw's Cove area could be the site of significant development in the next year, with a 450-space parking lot now proposed down the street from a planned retail and residential complex announced last fall.
Tony Silvestri, who managed the New London Harbour Towers project and the ongoing City Flats housing restoration plan, has been working with the Renaissance City Development Association to develop plans for a parking lot at the corner of Howard and Hamilton streets.
Kyle Klewin, a partner in Klewin Development of Groton, received approval last month from the Planning and Zoning Commission for a development at the corner of Bank and Howard streets consisting of a grocery store on the ground level and apartments on three floors above. He expects to break ground within a year.
The 5-acre parcel proposed for the parking lot once included the site of a New London landmark, Hughie's restaurant. It's under the control of the RCDA, the successor to the New London Development Corp.
Silvestri said the parking lot he is proposing could help alleviate some of the issues created by Electric Boat employees parking on Pequot Avenue and on nearby residential streets.
"This would help, at least in the short term, to take care of the parking needs for EB and possibly some other businesses in the vicinity," he said. "This is not the solution for parking, but it is certainly part of a solution. It's something that is very tangible in the sense that it can happen in a relatively short period of time."
If Silvestri receives all the proper approvals, which he expects will take a few months, the construction of the lot is expected to take less than 60 days. "Convenient parking is so important," Silvestri said. "You can't put a price on that."
But the site would not remain exclusively a parking lot forever, he said. Eventually, Silvestri would like to market the plot for development of research or office spaces.
Klewin's project is expected to include an 18,500-square-foot grocery store, which Klewin declined to name because he said he is still in negotiations with the company. Another 1,500 square feet would be for a second retail outlet, which Klewin also declined to name but called a "national tenant."
The housing portion of the development would include 31 one-bedroom and 12 two-bedroom apartments.
The site, which is known as Parcel J, has been vacant for decades, ever since the New London Redevelopment Agency bought the land in 1972 as part of a citywide Urban Renewal Plan.
In his State of the City address earlier this month, Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio said that having people living downtown is a "key to the economic revitalization of our central business district."
Klewin has said 80 percent of the units would be market rate and 20 percent would be affordable housing. The residential portion also would include a gymnasium, and office and meeting spaces. The plans also include a parking lot for residents and shoppers.
Now, Klewin is working to secure funding for the roughly $12 million project before an anticipated groundbreaking within the next year.
"We are applying for some funds from the state, so much of it is contingent on the success and timeline of those applications," he said. "But it could be as early as late fall/early winter or spring next year."
"After 41 years of vacancy and neglect, instead of a lawn full of Canadian geese, we're going to have a downtown supermarket, which will support downtown living, and approximately 40 high-quality apartments," Finizio said in his address.
Klewin said the project will create jobs and generate tax revenue for the city. The grocery store would employ about 34 full-time and 13 part-time workers. The housing aspect would require five full-time positions, and construction would employ around 55 workers.
"It will get people living downtown, which is important to other businesses down there," he said. "People living downtown need services, and that promotes retail."

It wasn't a good day for Johan Santana, who gave up four runs on six hits in 1 2/3 innings in today's loss to Houston.
Santana, who is coming off elbow surgery was clocked in the low 90s and reported no discomfort or pain.
"They made me work today,'' Santana told reporters. "They were swinging right away. But I felt good because I was able to throw all of my pitches.
"I was a little bit off with my mechanics, releasing the ball. That's part of spring training. That's what we're here for, trying to make adjustments and throw all of my pitches. The good thing is I felt good. I didn't feel any problem in my arm. So that's good.''
Also today:
* Mike Pelfrey's threw today and said his bruised right knee is fine and he's on for Thursday's start.
* Francisco Rodriguez threw in the bullpen today. He'll throw again tomorrow and is scheduled to pitch Saturday.
* Fred Wilpon returned to Port St. Lucie.
* Jenrry Mejia is still turning heads but GM Omar Minaya said he's still slated for the minor leagues. The Mets are stretching out Mejia's outings to build up his stamina to be a minor league starter.

As banks continue to explore ways to manage the sensitivity around charging fees while minimizing the impact associated with charging those fees, it's important to focus on the following three areas:
1. Stability
The data from our 2012 U.S. Retail Banking Satisfaction Study shows that fee structure changes not only have a significant impact on customer satisfaction, but they also lead to an increase in problem incidence and intended attrition. The following are some best practices banks should consider when making changes to fee structures:
- When changes are necessary, focus on limiting the number of changes customers are forces to accept. For example, making two or three changes to fee structures per year may be more confusing and less satisfying than making multiple changes at one time.
- When fee changes are necessary, it is critical to communicate the changes well in advance so that customers are not caught by surprise.
- While communication of fees is mandatory, there are some other ways for financial institutions to help ensure customers are aware of changes—e.g., communicating changes more than once and preferably via multiple channels, such as mailed letter and online notification.
Source: J.D. Power and Associates 2012 U.S. Banking Satisfaction Study
2. Communication
The impact of communication on the fee experience goes far beyond simply providing advance notice of any changes to the fee structure. There are other best practices that banks can follow to provide their customers with more information regarding fees or information on other product pricing options available:
Account initiation: Starting with account initiation, it's vital that representatives perform a detailed needs assessment and identify the products that meets customers' needs. Performing a detailed needs assessment during account initiation provides a big lift in fee understanding (22 percentage point difference for "completely" identified needs) , while also providing a significant lift in satisfaction.
Online account information: It goes without saying that providing customers with clear and concise access to account information and other pertinent information via the bank's website is crucial. Clarity of account information and Clarity of information provided on the website provide considerable lifts in Fees satisfaction, while also improving fee understanding by 16 percentage points.
Outbound communication: Proactively contacting customers three or four times per year regarding banking products and services enhances satisfaction and understanding of both fees and product offerings, without creating information overload. Study findings show that satisfaction and understanding both begin to decline when customers receive five or more proactive contacts per year. This also includes performing account reviews to ensure customers have the right products. Empowering branch tellers and call center representatives to proactively review customer accounts and make recommendations for alternative products and pricing options provides lifts in Fees satisfaction and understanding and significantly improves the bank's Brand Image rating for being Customer driven.
3. Value-Based Pricing
Despite the current level of price sensitivity related to service charges, such as maintenance fees and minimum balance requirements, there is still an opportunity for banks to generate revenue through maintenance fee charges by creating a clear value proposition aligned with the differing needs of their customer base. It's also important to review the options that banks currently provide their customers with respect to maintenance fee charges.
Many banks have installed a minimum balance requirement so that customers are able to avoid maintenance fee charges, but it has created various levels of dissatisfaction. At the same time, customers indicated that discounts for students, senior citizens, military personnel, or multiple products are not widely offered, which may be related to poor communication of the discounts by the institution and, thereby, low customer awareness. But most importantly, many banks do not clearly communicate the benefits customers will receive in exchange for the maintenance fees they pay, nor are banks providing different pricing options based on channel and product usage.
By understanding the key drivers of high fee/above-average satisfaction across segments, as depicted above, banks should consider the following strategies:
Explain the value proposition—When considering how to roll out a new monthly maintenance fee structure for customers in a particular segment, banks should emphasize the offerings most important to that specific segment. For example, in their explanations to customers in the Affluent segment, banks should promote their mobile banking applications/improvements; their ability to provide proactive advice on accounts; their focus on an efficient and courteous branch experience; and their product offerings, such as debit card with rewards and mortgage discounts.
Develop unique pricing options—By understanding channel preference and usage, banks may potentially create unique pricing strategies. For example, since data shows that customers in the Affluent/Emerging Affluent segment tend to have lower levels of branch usage and preference than do other customers, banks may potentially offer these customers a special rate for low branch usage, such as visiting a branch once every 4 months. From the perspective of customers, they are getting a special deal for something that relates directly to them, and from the bank's perspective, they tend to benefit by minimizing branch traffic and staffing needs.
The Bottom Line:
There are a few banks across the industry that are able to charge customers maintenance fees without jeopardizing satisfaction, including Frost National Bank, Woodforest Bank, Hancock Bank, and S&T Bank. Customers of these institutions are more likely to be charged maintenance fees, compared with industry average, yet Fees satisfaction remains significantly above average.

Reggie Miller, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant. They've all gone on seemingly memorable shooting streaks. But past research has shown that the so-called hot hand is a myth, rooted in our tendency to see patterns where there are none.
Myth or no, the shooters still seem to think they're on fire when statistics show they're not. A recent study finds that professional basketball players put too much stock in the outcome of their last three-point shot. If they make a three-pointer, they are much more likely to try another one than if they had missed. The study, appearing in the journal Nature Communications, used game stats for hundreds of NBA and WNBA players. (Scientific American is part of Nature Publishing Group.)
The Lakers' Bryant was a prime example in his MVP season of 2007–2008. When Bryant made a three-pointer, he shot again from downtown nearly four times as often as he did following a missed three. But trying to ride a three-point streak is often bad strategy. Players actually tend to shoot a lower percentage after making shots than after missing them—once again sending the idea of the "hot hand" up in smoke.

Photography, which began with the dageurrotype in 1839, was a booming enterprise by the time of the Civil War. Having one's photograph "taken" was quicker and much less expensive than having a portrait painted by an artist. Photographers were setting up shops in market towns and traveling to the smaller towns on assignment. George Sheldon (1818-1916) of Deerfield, Massachusetts, was in Boston in the 1860s as a representative to the General Court from Deerfield and probably sat for this picture by the Boston photographers, Fisher Brothers.

The IYB has won a Green Award for Best International Campaign. Members of the IUCN Commission on Education and Communication (CEC) played key roles: Laurie Bennett of Futerra led strategy on brand and messaging, Frits Hesselink conducted a global survey on the logo and content, and David Ainsworth of the CBD promoted the campaign.
Futerra's work on the brand and messaging for the International Year of Biodiversity has won a Green Award for Best International Campaign.
During 2010, the logo has been used in 146 countries, in 29 languages, by 90 different governments, 21 UN agencies, and over 1000 other organisations. It has also featured on the tail fin of an Airbus A380, sponsored an international football kit, and even made up part of a floral well in the North of England.
In May 2010 Futerra launched its latest piece of thought leadership, Branding Biodiversity. The report challenges communicators to communicate Love not Loss, and to distil a complex scientific concept into a set of values and promises that will radically increase action.
Green Awards press release
The 2010 UN International Year of Biodiversity (IYB) has won the influential Green Award for the Best Green International Campaign. This new award marks the first time that the Green Awards have recognised a global campaign.
The IYB-UK team joined communications agency Futerra, to watch Ahmed Djoghlaf, Executive Secretary for the Convention on Biological Diversity, receive the award on 2 December, at a ceremony which was held in the Central Hall at the Natural History Museum in London. The Award rewards creativity in sustainability and the most effective effort to communicate sustainability and environmental issues to international audiences across more than one country.
The Green Awards judges praised, 'a very beautiful, well executed and informative campaign. It has helped to mainstream biodiversity from being a very technical and very bureaucratic subject to one of global concern and hope. This logo and message has been very widely seen during 2010 in cultures and languages as diverse as biodiversity itself! Biodiversity is the most overlooked, sustainability issue.'
The goal of the International Year of Biodiversity was to raise awareness of the value of, and the need to conserve biodiversity, and to provide partners across the world with the tools and inspiration to encourage action. The branding and messaging for the year was commissioned by the Convention on Biological Diversity, created by Futerra and rolled out by key catalyst organisations around the world like the Natural History Museum, secretariat for the UK partnership for IYB (IYB-UK).
The International Year of Biodiversity runs until the end of 2010, and so far the logo and core messaging have been adopted in 146 countries, and in 29 languages, and has been seen by millions of people from Brazil to Britain, Georgia to Japan.
In Britain over 450 organisations, including ENGOs, faith groups, academia, arts/cultural organisations and government joined the IYB-UK partnership, co-ordinated from the Museum, to support the International Year during 2010.
One of the key events during IYB in the UK, the first Global Business of Biodiversity symposium at the Excel Centre directed by John Brown with support from IYB-UK was also nominated for a Green Award in the category of Best Green Event Award (Shows/Exhibitions), but the Award was won by another iyb-uk partner, the National Trust, for their 'A Plant in Time – a touring exhibition'.
The evening began with Sir David Attenborough CBE receiving the first ever Green Lifetime Achievement Award, accompanied by a standing ovation from the audience, for his outstanding contribution to promoting biodiversity to the public.

- Yalla Yalla Shipping Container Restaurant in London's SouthbankA crop of brightly colored restaurants made from recycled shipping containers recently popped up in London's Southbank as part of the district's Festival of the World, which overlaps with London Design Festival. The culinary cargotecture hot spot features two pop up restaurants - Yalla Yalla and Wahaca - and even a new staircase made of shipping containers!1
- Yalla Yalla Shipping Container Restaurant in London's SouthbankYalla Yalla is tucked away in a quiet corner of the Southbank Centre, where it serves Lebanese and other Middle Eastern street food to be eaten either on the move or in the outdoor seating area surrounding it. The first Yalla Yalla, in Soho, was opened in late 2008 by Beirut-born Jad Youssef and his partner Aga Ilska, who is Polish. They met while working in a Lebanese restaurant in London and always dreamed of opening their own business. They have a third restaurant just north of Oxford Street.2
- Wahaca Shipping Container Restaurant in London's SouthbankWahaca is also getting in on the shipping container act, with a larger space made from eight shipping containers stacked on top of each other.3
- Wahaca Shipping Container Restaurant in London's SouthbankThe Wahaca Southbank Experiment is a space for Wahaca to test out new recipes and ideas - the most successful of which will be rolled out to the main restaurants.4
- Shipping Container Stairs in London's Southbank DistrictBut perhaps the most interesting use of shipping containers, designed by Lyn Atelier, is a staircase that opens up a whole new route through the Southbank Centre.5
- Shipping Container Stairs in London's Southbank DistrictLyn Atelier's shipping container staircase uses pallets and plantings to create an effect reminiscent of a miniature version of New York's High Line.6
- Shipping Container Stairs in London's Southbank DistrictIt's fantastic to see shipping container architecture take off, and we're always excited to see different (re)uses for these ubiquitous items.7

A place of intimate scale and infinite scope.
For more than 125 years, our tight-knit community of students and scholars has come together in the heart of Los Angeles, one of the most stimulating and creative cities in the world.
A leader in the liberal arts and sciences.
One of the original campuses where Upward Bound got its start and home of one of the first West Coast chapters of Phi Beta Kappa, Oxy boasts a firmly rooted tradition of academicachievement and dedicated community service. Our students go on to become leaders in their fields—pursuing graduate degrees and careers in politics, diving headfirst into the Hollywood hustle and breaking new ground in medical research.
A community in conversation.
When we speak, our leadership listens. Professors don't pontificate; they discuss, debate and engage. With only 2,100 undergraduates, everyone is face to face with faculty, staff and other students. We seize the opportunity to create and sustain conversations around the issues that matter most to us.
A home.
We respect and encourage one another's ideas, interests and creative impulses. We root for our own and celebrate our successes—big and small—as a community. This campus and this culture inspire love and loyalty, and make us proud to call Oxy home.

This isn't the newest video in the world, but hey! We play older stuff here. (Note to those who haven't played Heavy Rain: This video spoils the living crap out of the game and the ending.)
I have no idea how this thing came into existence, but it popped onto my radar on the same day that I had been pondering playing some of Heavy Rain again, now that it's been out for a while.
Do you remember the amazing game Press X to Jason? This video of a bug (real or fake? Who can tell) that happened during the final scenes of the game is about the same, only it's "Press X to Shaun. Over and over and over again."
Man, Ethan Mars sure is upset about Shaun! He's yelling his kid's name throughout cutscene after chase sequence after cutscene, just... yelling it... man, I can't even recap this. Just watch the video. It dies out for a little bit but then comes back at the end in amazing fashion. I dare you not to laugh at this.
Heavy Rain maestro David Cage may have moved on to new, impressive technology, but I actually kind of hope that his next game leaves a little room for this kind of hilarity.
Thanks, Jay, for sharing this.

Sultana cake with vanilla custard buttercream
This is one of my all-time favourite cakes; the last time I made it was pre-blog and pre-assuming my Caked Crusader identity. It's simply pleasing to eat – the sponge is soft and the sultanas provide little juicy bursts of sweetness. For a fruit cake it's also very light – don't write it off as a heavy, Christmas-style cake.
Previously, I have made this cake and served it plainly. However, I recently came across a wonderful new buttercream recipe that combines butter with custard. I don't have the words to describe just how gorgeous the buttercream is; it's whipped and light and sweet and why are you still reading this – you should be off making it!!! It's also mega-rich but oh so tasty and I knew it would work well with the sultana cake. So here it is:
The cake is light due to the inclusion of buttermilk. Whenever I look at buttermilk the Hoagy Carmichael classic "Ole Buttermilk Sky" comes to mind - never let it be said I don't have my finger on the pulse of what the yoof are listening to! I can't imagine a sky being the colour of buttermilk yet Hoagy wouldn't lie to me. This clip on Youtube seems to show a buttermilk sky (with the bonus of Hoagy's mellow vocals) but it doesn't look much like what's in my carton:
Some gratuitous extra shots!
Ingredients:For the cake:250g unsalted butter, at room temperature
250g caster sugar
3 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
320g sultanas
375g plain flour
1.5 teaspoons baking powder
170ml buttermilk
For the custard buttercream:
150ml whole or semi-skimmed milk
125g caster sugar
2 egg yolks
175g unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
How to make:
- Preheat the oven to 160°C/fan oven 140°C/315°F/Gas mark 2-3.
- Grease and line a 20cm square tin. It's easier if the tin is either springform or loose bottomed.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This is a big cake that uses large quantities of ingredients so it will take longer to cream the butter and sugar. Don't skimp!
- Gradually beat in the egg and vanilla. If the mix looks like it's curdling add some of the flour.
- Stir in the sultanas.
- Fold in a third of the flour and baking powder, then a third of the buttermilk, then a third of the flour and so on until both are fully combined.
- Spoon into the prepared tin and level the surface.
- Bake for 1 - 1 ¼ hours or until a skewer comes out cleanly. Mine took 1 hour 5 minutes.
- Cool for 30 minutes before removing from the tin and allowing to cool completely on a wire rack. Up to this point, the cake can be made a day in advance of serving. I would only recommend making the buttercream on the day of serving.
- Now make the buttercream: Place the milk and sugar in a saucepan and bring gently to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
- Whisk the egg yolks and then pour the milk and sugar mix over them, whisking all the time.
- Return the custard mixture to the saucepan and cook over a medium heat stirring all the time.
- After approximately 10 minutes, the custard will coat the back of your spoon. Remove it from the heat and leave to cool. If you have overcooked the custard and it's gone lumpy, pass it through a sieve. To be honest, I always pass custard through a sieve as it's horrible to put something in your mouth expecting it to be smooth and getting even the tiniest lump.
- Place the butter in a bowl and whisk until it is soft and looks almost whipped.
- Gradually whisk in the cooled (but not cold) custard until combined.
- Finally, whisk in the vanilla.
- Spread the buttercream over the sultana cake.
- Bask in glory at the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

Oh, CC, that sultana cake looks yummy! And icing with custard, how could you tempt me so? :)
I've been meaning to ask you a question and this lovely sultana cake reminded me to do so: Do you have a good recipe for something strongly resembling a Manor House Cake? My expat husband and I would be eternally grateful. Eternally. Grateful.
By the way, that choc pudding last week was heavenly. And we both agree with you about the choc sauce AND the custard. Mmmmmm, lovely!

I am very impressed with your new idea for buttercream! Sounds delicious :)

Funny you should ask that question Cherie as we always think that this cake is like a Manor House but nicer. I was going to say it in the post but then wondered if enough people would know what a MH cake was!
It's got that soft crumbliness of a MH cake and the sweet bursts of sultanas. I guess if you wanted to make it more MH-like you could use raisin and sultanas instead of solely sultanas.

Yummo! I've gotta try this buttercream. Does it hold its shape well?

As one of the lucky recipients of CC cakes I'm in turmoil over this one.
It does look gorgeous, and I expect tastes lovely and I'm desperate to taste the custard-y buttercream - but I'm foiled my irrational dislike of sultanas.
Hypothetically speaking - if someone were to distract you do you think someone could nab a cake and just eat the topping???
- 27 October 2008 at 09:31

Hi Dee
The buttercream is soft but not runny. I gave it a few minutes in the fridge just to firm it up.

I think this is one of my favourite cakes that you have made.
If the buttercream has to be used on the day it's made, does that mean I've got to eat all of the cake in one day.........?!
- 28 October 2008 at 09:37
- The Caked Crusader said...
Hi margaret
The buttercream does keep, it's just that it's best kept in the fridge. I don't like keeping cakes in the fridge unless necessary so I held off making the buttercream until it was needed.
Having said that, I work on the basis that ALL cakes should be eaten on the day they're made!!!

Yummmmmmm, this sounds delicious. Could I use candied cherries in this recipie? Georgina
- 14 November 2008 at 19:41
- The Caked Crusader said...
Hi Georgina
I think any dried or candied fruit would work well in this cake. But I think you should halve or maybe even quarter the cherries to ensure they don't sink.
Happy baking!

Hi Caked Crusader. It's been a while but I recently Googled and found this recipe. I've (forgive me) modified it a bit. If you get a cup of water. Stick it in a saucepan and let it simmer, add the sultanas and keep it on simmer until they've soaked up most of the water, it makes the cake unbelievably moist! :-D

Letter to the editor - Rice
Resolved Issue, March 8. 2009
In recent weeks I have had an issue with the Arenac Township Board concerning some missing checks. It is my pleasure to state that all seventeen checks have been found and by bulk motion amended to be correct. This action was taken at the March 5, 2009 meeting. The meeting lasted a little over two hours with more than normal public attendance. It was a pleasure to be present and take part in making positive steps forward.

CS 4 was way too slow for me, menues updating slowly etc.. still sticking to CS 3.. I'm curious about the new brush blending and stuff like that.. Was the OpenGL improved from 4.0? Thanks_________________homepage:blog Back to top T_EnglandmemberMember #Joined: 24 Feb 2009Posts: 97 Posted: Fri Jul 09, 2010 12:57 pm Hmm I never really had any issues with the speed in CS4 it might be a compatibility issue with the graphics card or drivers. As for the new blending system my personal opinion is it feels more like smudge 2.0. I was talking with a colleague about it today actually its not like you can really change the brushes themselves I wanted to slowly add it to my existing brush set which you cant really do. I'm still split about it, i would give the trial a go though If it was my money i would keep the CS3 licence and get a painter one for experimentation its tool set does everything CS5s new tools has and is a lot more advanced imo. Really like your artwork btw!_________________www.tenglandsketchbook.blogspot.com www.thomasengland.co.uk Back to top mulljunior memberMember #Joined: 02 Oct 2007Posts: 26Location: Cumbria, UK Posted: Sat Jul 10, 2010 11:24 am I personally havent tried CS5 and wont pay the extortionate upgrade price, instead I bought a package called SAI Painting: http://sai.detstwo.com/sai/ It has all the features that Painter, Photoshop and Sketchbook Pro have [mixer brushes, canvas rotation etc) all rolled into the one wihtout any of the drain on my cpu. The ink layers will be a dream for any digital comic artist and the whole package is around $40 i think? Worth the free trial Back to top Sup_BenmemberMember #Joined: 11 Jun 2002Posts: 416 Posted: Thu Jul 22, 2010 1:20 am I have purchased the whole cs5 package. The PS seems to be much quicker at larger brushes. Still all the procedural brushes like camel hair brush and others are extremely slow to me. I also didn't notice any significant changes in brush blending. I have the 64bit version. The whole OpenGL stuff does not work under my XP64. Not that it wouldn't work, but it's just officially switched off under XP64. So the canvas rotation is also unavailable to me since it's realized through OpenGL. Actually a very disappointing version of PS. So I'm still sitting on the CS2 version for digital painting. Sure the PS CS5 is not worth of investing 200-300 Euro for update if you purchase it separately._________________digitalben.com Back to top T_EnglandmemberMember #Joined: 24 Feb 2009Posts: 97 Posted: Fri Jul 23, 2010 2:16 pm Oh really! I tried a trial of cs5 on windows7 64bit and the rotation didnt work either, it confused me at the time. Its rediculous it wont function on a 64 bit OS in this day and age. Also they should integrate this new stuff into the existing brush engine, switching to a different tool is counter intuitive. Photoshop has been adding silly "features" for a while now. First with the entirely uncessesay, cluttered and closed UI change, then useless 3D painting and now a cobbled together brush system detatched from the existing engine. Also what the hell is that colour wheel all about? Does anyone actually use that?_________________www.tenglandsketchbook.blogspot.com www.thomasengland.co.uk Back to top darylmemberMember #Joined: 28 Oct 2000Posts: 441Location: Stockholm, Sweden Posted: Sun Aug 01, 2010 1:02 am thanks for the info, good to know! about the OpenGL, you sure it isn't something you need to switch on inside PS? I know it was switched off first time I tried the demo of CS4, and I changed that in preferences somewhere.

Using defensive pressure all over the court to force a flurry of turnovers from host Academy of the New Church, the Germantown Friends School Tigers roared to a 54-24 victory last Friday in Bryn Athyn.
GFS, which had the lead up over 20 points at halftime, improved to 2-4 overall and evened up its Friends Schools League record at 1-1. The ANC Lions fell to 0-5 overall.
The Tigers were led on the stat sheet by sophomore forward Caroline Myran, with four rebounds and a game-high 19 points, and freshman guard Imani Ross with 10 points, nine steals, and four rebounds.
"It was good for the girls, because they've been working so hard and this will help keep them motivated," commented Tigers coach James Jordan.
Earlier in the week, GFS had opened its FSL season with a 38-25 loss to Friends Central. FC had only been ahead 19-16 at the half.
"They aren't as strong this year, but the girls hear "Friends Central" and they have past memories," Jordan explained. "We played a little timid and nervous. We turned the ball over a lot and they took advantage of it.
"In practice," the coach continued, "we stressed working the ball around and then taking shots if you're open. We played much more as a team today against ANC."
GFS junior Katherine Walden turned a steal into a lay-up right after the tip-off, but the scoreboard ticked over slowly after that, with the Tigers holding a 4-2 edge five minutes into the contest. Ross then scored on a breakaway and Myran got her jump shot dialed in, flinging in four buckets in a minute-and-a-half to power the visitors to a 16-5 lead at the quarter.
Ross began the second period with three lay-ups in transition, and then Myran and junior point guard Sophie Mercuris each stepped out to hit a pair of three-pointers, pumping the lead up to 21 points by halftime, 34-13. The Tigers were up by 27 at the three-quarter mark, and after reserve freshman forward Schuyler Alig (four points total) hit a jumper at the start of the fourth round to make it 48-19, GFS pulled the rest of its starters off the floor for the duration.
"ANC fought hard and their girl in the middle did a good job," said Germantown's Jordan, referring to freshman center Lucy Raymond, who led the Lions with 15 points. New Church received six points from Laura Clymer, two from Rachel Rose, and one from Natalie Daum.
GFS got six points, four rebounds, and three assists from junior Katherine Walden and two points apiece from senior Alex Clarke (three rebounds, three steals) and juniors Eden Beschen and Lucy Guida.
Junior point guard Sophie Mercuris scored nine points, picked up eight steals, and did a masterful job of conducting the GFS offense.
"Sophie has matured on and off the court," said Jordan. "She has really made a big step this season from the two previous years. She works hard in practice, motivates her teammates, and has become a leader for our team."

Although most of our new business stems from referrals, it's very important that we have a professional image online to be consistent with the referral we were given.
We need a homepage design that is more progressive than a standard accountant or CPA firm. It's important to find a balance of being innovative but still appealing to business professionals.
• The colors and design concept of our logo needs to be apparent in the site design

There is no restriction on color use - be creative and impress us! :)

It is now snowing in New York City.
We've seen reports of snow everywhere form Jersey City to Chelsea and Flatiron. It's snowing in the Village, and on the BQE from South Brooklyn.
The snow is just the beginning of the blizzard named Nemo, which will bring whiteout conditions and up to a foot of snow to the city.
The transition to snow from rain is about three hours earlier than expected, Eric Holthaus said on twitter.
This could mean we will end up on the high end of predictions. Most of the meteorologists we have been following are saying we will end up with about a foot of snow total.
The snow will be much worse in New England, especially in Boston, where they expect up to 36 inches of snow.
And all at once, NYC is changing over to snow -- about 3hrs ahead of schedule. #blizzard time is starting. — Eric Holthaus (@EricHolthaus) February 8, 2013

maybe perhaps he withdrew from it, like how..um...Man on the moon movie, that part where Latka is on saturday night live, and he supposed to do a skit about smokin pot, and he cant do it, and he gets all serious live on tv and tell kids people drugs are bad and they want me to do this and its wrong its bad, dont do it its not funny and yada, you know that one? Andy Kaufman part???? was serious stuff man...so perhaps JC decided not to do thse kind of movies anylonger, who knows, im sure he's gonna say something soon about it>> anythoughts on that? share em please...peace out!

Re: ─░nherent Vice
I don't doubt that he could probably play the part
He can pick and choose what he wants to do now
There is alot of violence on the screen
Is it really necessary to show it
I think its better just to show what happens=the results
Eg. the recent tornadoes and what destruction they
leave behind, I don't want to see the blood, gore etc
It's enough sometimes to know the results than the action
Glad to hear Andy Kaufman did that
You never know who it may have affected
just by standing up for what he believed
I'm sure he could have got some flack on that one

Oct 1, 2009 (CIDRAP News) – The first 600,000 doses of pandemic H1N1 vaccine—all of them the nasal-spray formulation—are on their way to 25 states and major cities and should arrive by Tuesday, Oct 6, matching earlier predictions, federal health officials said today.
"We are transitioning from the planning to the implementation phase" of the H1N1 vaccination effort, Dr. Anne Schuchat of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said at a news briefing.
States and large cities began placing orders for vaccine yesterday, said Schuchat, who is director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. She didn't name the states or cities, but urban areas that work directly with the CDC program are Washington, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles County.
"Vaccine ordered yesterday should be arriving out to the sites by Tuesday," she said. "We're really pleased that this is starting, and it's earlier than we were planning."
In response to a question about when the doses will become available, Schuchat said, "There's a good chance they'll be available later next week in a lot of the sites."
CDC officials have been predicting that the earliest doses would reach providers in early October. CDC Director Thomas Frieden said last week that the first doses could reach providers as early as Oct 6.
Schuchat said that—as predicted previously—all of the earliest doses will be the live-virus nasal-spray vaccine, which is made by MedImmune. Like the company's seasonal vaccine, FluMist, it is approved for healthy people aged 2 through 49 years, but not for pregnant women or people with chronic conditions that raise their risk for flu complications.
"We believe a lot of the states will be directing those early doses to healthcare workers," Schuchat said. "There's a bit of a myth out there that the workers shouldn't get the live vaccine, but that's a myth. Most healthcare workers who are under 50 and don't have those chronic conditions can receive the nasal spray."
She said the CDC plans to release information each Friday on how much vaccine was available for ordering and how much was shipped to each of the states and large cities, as of the preceding Wednesday.
The CDC has contracted with McKesson Corp. to distribute the vaccine doses to vaccination sites designated by state health departments. McKesson also distributes vaccines in the CDC's Vaccines for Children program.
Schuchat cautioned that the vaccination drive will face some bumps in the road. "At the beginning we'll have a bit of a slow start. But we've ordered enough [vaccine] so everyone who wants to be vaccinated can be."
HHS releases children's Tamiflu to states
In other comments, Schuchat said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has released 300,000 pediatric doses of the antiviral drug Tamiflu (oseltamivir) from the national stockpile for distribution to states that may need it.
"Basically each state that needs their proportion of that supply will receive this Tamiflu over the next week," she said.
The CDC said earlier this week that Tamiflu for children could run short as the flu spreads and advised that pharmacists may need to formulate the medication, sold as a liquid, on site by mixing the adult formulation with other ingredients.
"Some of the liquid formulation will have an expiration date that may have passed, but the FDA [Food and Drug Administration] has extended the expiration date of those courses after careful testing," Schuchat said today.
She reported that Texas and Colorado have already requested and received allocations of the liquid antiviral, getting 22,000 and 4,600 doses, respectively.
Death toll in pregnant women rises
On another topic, Schuchat updated the CDC's numbers on H1N1 complications in pregnant women. As of late August, 100 pregnant women in the United States had required intensive hospital care for H1N1 and 28 had died, she said.
On a conference call with clinicians earlier this week, CDC officials said that about 5% of H1N1 deaths have been in pregnant women, though they make up only about 1% of the population. As of Aug 20, 24 of the 484 deaths in the country involved pregnant women, officials said.
"The H1N1 influenza in pregnant women has really been striking," Schuchat said today. CDC obstetricians have been talking to "doctors around the country who have never seen this kind of thing before."
She added that the CDC has not previously tracked seasonal flu complications in pregnant women, so it's not entirely clear if complications are actually much more common with the new virus or if it just seems that way because of increased surveillance.

print sum([x * 2 for x in something])
In this case, LC is being used to build a temporary list whose only purpose is to be iterated by "sum". Instead of constructing this list, why not pass an iterable object to "sum" and have it accumulate the sum from that? Well, not only can you, but it's even less to type (a whopping two characters less):
print sum(x * 2 for x in something)
Simply excluding the square brackets takes it from a list-comp to a generator expression, which is lazily evaluated. To demonstrate, proof that generators don't actually compute anything until they are pulled:
def f(x):
print x
a = [f("LC") for x in xrange(10)]
b = (f("GE") for x in xrange(10))
print "outside"
print "outside"
So naturally, these can be a really useful and compact way to transform a sequence. But the generator-expression syntax doesn't really allow for very complex stuff... Lucky Python also supports generator functions using the "yield" keyword that allows you to lazily preserve state between calls to "next"
def powersof2():
x = 1
while True:
yield x
x *= 2
g = powersof2()
print g.next()
print g.next()
print g.next()
And then, another thing I see is similar use of the map, filter, zip functions, which here in Python2.5 land return an entire list (this won't be an issue in Python3, however). For the time being, if you need a lazy map/filter, either use generator expressions or use the itertools module
from itertools import imap, ifilter
def even(x):
return not(x % 2)
print sum(ifilter(even, imap(int, "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9".split())))
In this case, the imap/ifilter works better than generator expressions (IMO) because of the need for the strings as integers in the "even" function. With GE I'm forced to either call the int function twice, or to break it up across lines:
print sum(int(x) for x in "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9".split() if even(int(x)))
ints = (int(x) for x in "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9".split())
print sum(x for x in ints if even(x))
But, since this is lazy, the filtering is done as the mapping takes place (neither are bundled into any temporary lists or anything)
Likewise, using "range" instead of "xrange" for integer iteration is also a wasteful practice (this will be fixed in Python3 as well).
To wrap it up, just for fun (no practical value to a Python coder at all), how would you make a lazy sequence in Python if it didn't support generators or iterators? The way the lisp gods did before us... (lazy cons streams)
def fibonacci(a=0, b=1):
return (a, lambda: fibonacci(b, a + b))
def take(n, seq):
if n:
return (seq[0], lambda: take(n - 1, apply(seq[1])))
def lmap(f, seq):
while seq:
yield f(seq[0])
seq = apply(seq[1])
print sum(lmap(int, take(1000, fibonacci())))
(I know, I cheated with the lmap function, but Pythons recursive limit makes it a bit impractical)

Kobalt Tools: Power and Value at Lowe's
When I consider the assortment of power tools that I've purchased, collected and inherited over time, I am amazed that I have been able to complete the projects that I have. And nothing has brought my "tools-shortcomings" to greater light than the opportunity to see, touch, and 'test drive' the new line of Kobalt Tools, now available exclusively at Lowe's.
Through years of research and engineering refinements, the Kobalt design team has managed to bring professional-grade tools to an even broader range of consumers, including first-time homebuyers, novice and seasoned DIYers, and serious contractors. "We learn so much from talking with our do-it-yourself and professional customers about what they look for in a tool–what they buy and why they buy it," said David Vaughn, vice president of merchandising for tools at Lowe's. "In turn, we build quality tools that reflect the day-to-day needs of our customers so that they can tackle any project on their list."
Every Kobalt tool is designed and engineered to combine toughness and durability with the latest developments in comfort, balance and practical innovations. And, while the line now includes more than 1,700 products, the new cordless power tools are among my personal favorites–offering the same muscle as their AC-powered predecessors, but the convenience of long-lasting, rechargeable 18-Volt Lithium or 18-Volt NICd battery packs.
The new line of 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Tools features a Combo Kit that includes drill/driver, reciprocating saw, circular saw and LED worklight ($269), along with individual selections like the Cordless 18-V Drill Driver ($159) and Cordless 18-V 1/2-inch Impact Wrench ($269). In addition to the products being value-priced, all Kobalt tools come with a five-year hassle-free guarantee, and Kobalt batteries, a three-year hassle-free guarantee. It's definitely time to update my tool collection!

The overwhelming popularity of Apple's iPad has spawned a whole new generation of tablets that are slowly but surely having an impact on PC sales. In the U.K., PC sales continue to fall, with just 2.5 million desktops sold during the second quarter between April and June. The iPad, on the other hand, shipped a whopping 15 million units during the same period.
PC sales were down 15% when compared to the same quarter in 2010, and according to Gartner, that's because us Brits are keeping an eye on our cash and choosing to use tablets and smartphones instead. However, while Apple may call this the "post-PC era," that isn't quite the case here in Britain. According to the research firm, it's not that we're not using PCs, we're just not buying them.
Isabelle Durand, principal analyst at Gartner, says that rather than purchasing new PCs, we're holding on to our old ones and focusing on tablets instead:
"Most [UK] consumers continue to hold back spending on PCs by extending life cycles on existing PCs and purchasing other devices.
"PCs are not attracting consumers' disposable income, particularly in light of alternative devices.
"While remaining an important device to consumers, there are few compelling technological reasons to drive PC replacements."
There was some growth in the PC market, however, despite only 2.5 million sales. Samsung, and of course Apple, were the only two companies to enjoy growth in the U.K. PC market, while Acer felt the biggest impact with a staggering 47% decline.
For a large proportion of PC users, particularly those that use them for business, PCs will always be difficult to replace. But for the majority of casual users, tablets are a suitable substitute for everyday tasks, and are often significantly cheaper.
Have you replaced your PC with a tablet yet?

RNC Threat to Two Networks is Publicity-Driven, Says Prof. Mark Tatge
August 6, 2013
"The head of the Republican National Committee (RNC) has threatened to ban CNN and NBC from 2016 GOP primary debate coverage if they do not drop two Hillary Clinton projects that are in the works -- a move dubbed both hasty and unwise by political and media observers," begins a Christian Science Monitor article. "NBC has plans for a miniseries starring Diane Lane, while CNN is acquiring a feature-length documentary that will run theatrically before airing on the cable channel. Both are planned to air well in advance of the 2016 election -- a race in which Ms. Clinton is assumed by many to be running."
Gloria Goodale writes, "What these accusations suggests more than anything is the state of affairs within the Republican Party, says journalism professor Mark Tatge, from DePauw University in Greencastle, Ind. 'The Republican Party is in a state of disarray,' he says, suggesting this is little more than an effort to gain publicity for a message intended to rally the RNC base, 'and get donations from Hillary-haters.' "
You'll find the complete article at the publication's website.
Tatge, who is DePauw's Eugene S. Pulliam Distinguished Visiting Professor of Journalism, was Midwest bureau chief for Forbes magazine, an investigative reporter at the Cleveland Plain Dealer's statehouse bureau, and held positions with the Wall Street Journal, Dallas Morning News and Denver Post. He was also quoted in another recent article.

Say NO to Novartis!
March 19, 2012
Novartis, the Swiss-based pharmaceutical giant, continues its assault on India's generic pharmaceutical industry -- legally challenging India's patent law that allows the nation to supply nearly 80% of the developing world's access to high-quality, affordable, life-saving medications.
India's patent law effectively stops evergreening, a tactic used by pharmaceutical companies to make minor tweaks on medications to extend their stranglehold on a patent that is about to expire.
Should Novartis succeed on March 28th, a dangerous precedent will be set ...
With a chain-reaction of serious consequences.
The costs?
Crippling the generic pharmaceutical industry
Making essential medications even more cost-prohibitive
Cutting off the supply of medications used by NGO's worldwide
Millions of lives that are dependent on these drugs to fight diseases like HIV/AIDS.
Send the message to Novartis that no loss of human life can ever be tolerated for profits, by signing a petition here.
