Welcome to the forum, Colin!Orthodox Christianity is, indeed, "experiential." It is not learned by the book, - it comes to you as you participate in Orthodox worship, attend Divine Liturgies, listen to the liturgical singing, look at Holy Icons and Relics, watch your priest do things during the service... Best wishes to you, and may God illumine your heart and your path to the Truth.
...this is the way we are meant to worship God and practice what we believe as Christians- I do believe that Orthodoxy represents the true Church of the Apostles.

500px has returned to the App Store after its short hiatus over nudity concerns. Apple's main issue was that nudity was too easy to come across without any warning even though a recent update has made them harder to find, not easier. This time, 500px has been updated with an added mature rating and better photo reporting features.
It isn't blatantly apparent what changes have exactly been made to the 500px app other than it's had a mature rating added and an easier way to report photos. This was done by a "report photo" button being added in an easy to find place. This could be to address the child pornography concerns that people were rumoring. 500px stated previously that they'd never received such complaints but would take any very seriously.
Whatever 500px did to prevent nudity coming up unless a user wants to see it must have appeased Apple enough to allow the app back into the App Store.

Canadian Mobile Operators Move to Cisco
Cisco has been going mobile in Canada.
Or, perhaps more accurately, Canadian mobile operators have been going for Cisco. To wit:
In one example, Shaw Communications will deploy an extensive, advanced Wi-Fi network in Western Canada to provide broadband wireless access. The next-generation network will enable Shaw customers to connect Wi-Fi enabled devices like tablets, mobile phones and computers at thousands of Wi-Fi access points.
Shaw will deploy several advanced Cisco technologies, including the CRS-3 Carrier Routing System, ASR 5000 multimedia core platform, ASR 1000 Series routers and Service Provider Wi-Fi, part of Cisco's M.O.VE architecture.
Shaw Communications also announced that it will conduct a technical trial of HotSpot 2.0 in conjunction with Cisco, Shaw's Wi-Fi technology partner. HotSpot 2.0 will represent a significant improvement in Wi-Fi accessibility and security.
In addition, Bell Mobility has selected the Cisco ASR 5000 platform for delivering 4G and LTE mobile services in its next-generation wireless network. The ASR 5000 will form the foundation of the packet core for Bell Mobility's LTE network, delivering higher bandwidth and greater intelligence for faster mobile Internet services and improved user experiences.
Designated as a 4G mobile specification, LTE is designed to provide multi-megabit bandwidth, more efficient use of radio networks, latency reduction and improved mobility. LTE aims to enhance user interaction with the network and further drive demand for mobile multimedia services.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

They can belly-up to the vatican all they want; these pictures aren't going anywhere. Although I admire Benetton Groups controversial advertising style (especially this specimen from their most recent venture), they're not without their own controversial activities. See wiki page.
Views: 808
That is the most un-hot man on man kissing I've ever seen.
Yeah, the one with Obama and some Senator was much better.
Hahaha! That is not what I expected to read.
Frankly, I can't believe Benetton thought they could get away with that.
What were they thinking? Unhate? Isn't that faintly reminiscent of ... love? What an anathema to religious leaders.
Yeah - it is better. Thanks for the picture!
They made a lot of pictures for this campaign. Looking for this picture I cam across three with Obama. The other two were Hugo Chavez and Hu Jintao.
And they were all kissing? Wow -- I'll have to look at those.
The reason the POPE dislikes this picture is because it's not with little boys. OR, it doesn't depict the POPE properly in his role as leader of the largest Christian sect as 'covering-up' pedophiles as it's obvious he's been involved in for at least the past 30-years.
As for those lovely white robes...they're good for covering up his devil's tail and when he wears that penis pointie hat - that covers his horns.

Microsoft has addressed two issues with its Office binary formats (formats used before Office 2007: .doc, .xls, .ppt) which were brought to the company's attention by different national bodies,. Thanks to discussions with Ecma International, Microsoft was able to make the changes in about a month.
First, the software giant made it easier to access documentation for the binary formats, which have been available since 2006. Previously, it was necessary to contact Microsoft to receive the free documentation. "If you want to receive the documentation, contact Microsoft at the following e-mail address to initiate the agreement sign-up process: email@example.com." Now, Microsoft has made the documents available for direct download and has placed them in its Open Specification Promise (OPS), a program under which Microsoft promises not to sue developers who use specifications included in the program. Furthermore, the company also decided to make some related documentation for a few other supporting technologies available, again all under OPS.
The second issue that Microsoft addressed is related to the mapping from binary formats into the Open XML formats. Microsoft concluded that the best option was to create an open source translation project to allow binary documents to be translated into Open XML. That project has now launched on SourceForge under the open-source Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) license. Although anyone will be able to use the mapping, submit bugs and feedback, or contribute to the project, it is still in its early stages and there is no program for download. The development roadmap has been made available and the first date to look forward to is April 1, 2008 (no foolin'), when Microsoft hopes to have the following ready:
- Technical specification how to read and parse Office documents, in particular Word documents
- A first version of a parser (command line tool) being able to read and interprete (sic) the individual components (streams) of a binary Word document
- Enhanced doc/docx mapping documentation
- Detailed scope of the translator to be implemented for the next milestone
Further reading
- Brian Jones: Open XML Formats: Binary Documentation (.doc, .xls, .ppt) and Translator Project Site are now live

Handicapping NFL QB competitions
Philadelphia, PA – Plenty of starting positions will be up for grabs in NFL training camps this summer, but it's the quarterback battles that are always certain to attract the most attention.
Arguably as many as eight teams are without a definitive starter at the game's most critical position. Let's examine those eight squads and attempt to determine who will open the season under center for them.
BUFFALO BILLS: KEVIN KOLB vs. E.J. MANUEL
New Bills coach Doug Marrone and the front office made a bold move in drafting Manuel, thought to have an enormously high ceiling but viewed as a raw project, in the first round. Since the draft, however, Manuel has said that the Bills offense has been easier to learn than Florida State's, and new general manager Doug Whaley said he is open to Manuel being the Day 1 starter.
Prior to the draft, the Bills had signed former Arizona Cardinals and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Kevin Kolb, who has enjoyed some encouraging moments in the NFL during the occasional times he hasn't been injured. There is little question Kolb is more polished, but will the Bills be able to resist the temptation to turn the keys over to their prized draft pick?
This one could go down to the wire. If Manuel progresses quickly, the Bills would probably like to start him. If he experiences major growing pains (the more likely scenario), he could end up being the backup for, say, half the season before eventually assuming the job.
It's tough to predict how ready Manuel will be because we're two and a half months away from his first game action. Let's say it's roughly 60-40 in Kolb's favor to start on opening day, but that figure has the potential to change in a hurry when the preseason games begin.
CLEVELAND BROWNS: BRANDON WEEDEN vs. JASON CAMPBELL vs. BRIAN HOYER
The Browns' new coaching staff seemed to be lukewarm on incumbent starter Weeden at first, but the team ignored the quarterback position in the draft. Instead, Cleveland signed a pair of solid backups in Campbell and Hoyer, with the idea they will push the 2012 first-round draft pick.
Weeden is not a lock to open the season behind center, but it would be a fairly big upset if he doesn't. The presence of the other two guys, however, gives Cleveland one of the best backup quarterbacks in the league and probably the finest No. 3. The new staff and front office aren't married to Weeden, so he won't keep the job for long if he doesn't perform.
One thing working against Weeden is his age. Despite entering just his second NFL season, the former New York Yankees farmhand is going to turn 30 in October. Coach Rob Chudzinski and general manager Mike Lombardi are not going to be as patient with Weeden as they would be with the typical second-year quarterback.
Still, Weeden seems to be a decent fit for Chudzinski and offensive coordinator Norv Turner's vertical attack, and that would give him a decent chance to hang onto the job for a while.
JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS: BLAINE GABBERT vs. CHAD HENNE
Had the Jaguars not changed coaching staffs (or their general manager) this offseason, Henne might have had a leg up in this battle. Judging them by the eye test last year, Henne seemed to give Jacksonville a slightly higher quality of play than Gabbert.
The guess here is that Gabbert, unless he is particularly putrid during the preseason, will emerge as the opening day starter. The franchise spent a No. 10 overall pick on him just two years ago, and he's still only 23. The new regime is going to want to give him one last chance to succeed based on that investment.
Jacksonville signed Henne as a free agent last year, after the Miami Dolphins declined to offer him a contract. The Jags' investment in him was not nearly so great.
On the flip side, it's easy to forget that Henne is just 27. He should theoretically be entering his prime. If he should outperform Gabbert considerably in the preseason, it's certainly possible he will land the job.
Basically, though, Jacksonville would want to be positively sure that Gabbert is a lost cause before deciding to cut him loose. The new coaching staff needs to give him another opportunity in order to evaluate him properly. That's not to say he'll have a long leash, though, and it's likely Jacksonville will address the position either early in the 2014 draft or through free agency.
MINNESOTA VIKINGS: CHRISTIAN PONDER vs. MATT CASSEL
It sounds like Minnesota has no real plans to let Cassel challenge for the starting job, so there's probably nothing to see here right now. Ponder, the No. 12 pick in the 2011 draft, took a small step forward last season, helping the Vikings get to the playoffs. He probably deserves the chance to build on his modest success.
However, the presence of Cassel gives Minnesota a more viable backup option. Joe Webb, who has since moved to wide receiver, was the No. 2 quarterback last year, and there's almost no chance the Vikings' coaching staff viewed him as a potential long-term answer as a signal-caller.
If Ponder doesn't continue to improve this season, Minnesota would be less reluctant to pull the plug now. Perhaps the competition from Cassel, perceived or real, will bring out the best in Ponder.
It's almost 100 percent certain Ponder will be the opening day starter. He'll need to play well to close the season with the job, though.
NEW YORK JETS: MARK SANCHEZ vs. GENO SMITH
The Jets surely wish it would have never come to this. Incumbent quarterback Sanchez is entering his fifth season and is only 26. He led the Jets to a combined four playoff wins (the franchise career record) in the 2009 and 2010 seasons, but those victories seem a distant memory now.
Starting 31 games over the past two seasons, Sanchez has been personally responsible for a staggering 52 turnovers during that time. With still one of the better defensive units in the game, the Jets could probably be competitive by merely avoiding so many mistakes at the quarterback position.
So, the question is, can Smith be the guy to deliver mistake-free performances as a somewhat raw rookie? He'd have to make the shift to a West Coast offense, and he'd have to get used to taking a good percentage of his snaps from under center after having operated almost exclusively out of the shotgun at West Virginia.
Throwing Smith to the wolves (and Tampa Bay Buccaneers) on opening day would not appear to be the ideal situation, but the guess here is that it will happen. Sanchez's veteran teammates seem to have lost confidence in him and, worse yet, his self-confidence has appeared to completely vanish. Turning the job over to Smith might be necessary to re-energize the organization, but it's hard to say what effect it would have on coach Rex Ryan's job security.
OAKLAND RAIDERS: MATT FLYNN vs. TERRELLE PRYOR vs. TYLER WILSON
Could Flynn go from projected starter to clipboard holder during his second consecutive preseason? The Seattle Seahawks signed him as a free agent in 2012, presumably to take over as their starter. Late in the exhibition schedule, however, third-round rookie Russell Wilson overtook him and guided Seattle to the playoffs.
Prior to this year's draft, Oakland traded for Flynn. Then the Raiders drafted Arkansas' Wilson in the fourth round. He made a big impression at his first rookie mini-camp, which is what initiated the talk that he could seriously challenge for the starting job.
An entirely different regime was responsible for drafting Pryor and he does not appear to be a fit for what the Raiders want to do offensively. He could be an effective option to run the Wildcat, but he would seem the least likely of the three candidates to earn the starting nod.
The bottom line is that this is a rebuilding team, thanks in large part to all its dead money against the salary cap. With no pressure really to win immediately, the Raiders might opt to turn the offense over to their likely quarterback of the future, Wilson, who was thought to be one of the most pro- ready passers available in the draft.
Flynn will enter the preseason as the No. 1 guy, so he surely has a chance to win the job. He'll have to be really good in order to do it, though. We're going to go with a mild upset here and predict Wilson takes the job and runs with it.
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: MICHAEL VICK vs. NICK FOLES vs. MATT BARKLEY
New head coach Chip Kelly is a real wild card. No one knows for sure how much his offense with the Eagles will mirror the attack he implemented at the University of Oregon.
Vick has restructured his contract, which will now pay him at least $7.5 million for the 2013 season, then allow him to become a free agent. It seems logical that he will be the starter for much of this season, while Barkley, the only quarterback Kelly has hand-picked, is groomed to take over by 2014.
Then again, how similar could Kelly's Oregon and Eagles offenses be? With his mobility, Vick would appear to be a decent fit. The same can't really be said for Foles or Barkley, but Kelly wouldn't have traded up to draft Barkley in the fourth round if he didn't think the former Southern Cal quarterback could run his offense.
Because of the financial commitment and the fact that Vick looks like the best fit for the offense right now, he remains the clear favorite to open as the starter. Gradually, Kelly's offense will probably evolve into one that plays more to Barkley's strengths. The rookie could be the starter by the end of this season.
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS: JOSH FREEMAN vs. MIKE GLENNON
At first glance, it looked like Tampa Bay was really just drafting a developmental quarterback with a high ceiling to learn while playing behind Freeman. Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano, however, has gone out of his way to get the word out that Glennon has a realistic chance earn the starting job.
Pre-draft reports had surfaced out of Tampa Bay that Schiano was not really sold on Freeman as the franchise quarterback, even though the team's front office apparently did not share that opinion. The team drafted Glennon in the third round, so it's not likely the Bucs view him merely as a long-term backup.
When they poured so much money into rebuilding their secondary by trading for Darrelle Revis and signing free agent Dashon Goldson, the Bucs made it clear they believed they were in a win-now mode. Even if Schiano would ultimately like to see Glennon earn the starting nod, it's unlikely that a win-now team would give him the job as a rookie. After all, for any faults that Schiano sees with Freeman, the fifth-year pro did throw for over 4,000 yards and 27 touchdowns last season.
So Freeman is the heavy favorite to open as the Bucs' quarterback, but things could really get interesting in 2014. Freeman is entering the final year of a rookie contract that will pay him $8.43 million this fall. If Tampa Bay lets him get to free agency, Freeman would probably command twice that much annually on the open market; he'd only be 26 years old with five years of starting experience heading into 2014.
Will Tampa Bay be willing to tie up around $32 million (or about 25 percent) of its cap space on just Freeman and Revis? The Bucs probably won't, as long as they're comfortable with Glennon.

by Pamela Rogow
Early this year Mt. Airy choreographer Leah Stein began planning a dance performance at the Japan House in Fairmount Park for this year's Fringe Festival. Then in March, a catastrophic earthquake struck Japan, and a tsunami poured onto the land. The nuclear disaster that is Fukushima continues to unfold.
Classic Japanese values have shaped the communal response to these horrific natural and man-made events: honoring time and space, orderliness and harmony. It follows that even the underpinnings of Stein's planned performance were newly challenged.
The Shofuso Japan House in Fairmount Park was built 50 years ago with natural materials in a 17th century style appropriate for a member of the upper class, such as a samurai warrior, government official or wealthy scholar. Its serenity is reinforced by the adjoining tea house and ornamental garden.
There, the Leah Stein Dance Company will present an hour-long work several times during this year's Fringe Festival. It was created in collaboration with Roko Kawai, whom Stein has known since the 1980s when they met at a movement artists' workshop at Swarthmore. Today Stein lives in Mt. Airy and teaches at Bryn Mawr College. Kawai lives and works in the Bay Area; she bridges unusual genres, having trained in traditional Japanese and contemporary improvisational performance.
In an interview this week, Stein recalled her first trip to Japan in 2007. "Roko met me at the airport, and it was already so amazing: the use of space … the way they brought all the bags to us. Space management even for luggage! And the attentiveness to landscape and architecture and function! It is a small island with so many people. There is an economy of space and movement there. The lines they form! It is extremely orderly, all the time. It's striking — and a huge contrast to the Wild West, the expansion that this country has been about."
Stein was in Japan to create a work with Kawai in a 200-year-old Japanese house in a small town, two hours south of Tokyo. Singer Mika Kimula and dancer Hideo Arai joined them, a collaboration that continued the following year. "I had wanted them to come for this year's production," Stein says now, "but the March 11 earthquake and tsunami disrupted their lives directly. I have been Skyping and talking to them both regularly. Hideo has been traveling up to the Sendai region and visiting Fukushima to offer dance workshops for the children living in temporary housing. He is very shaken by the devastation.
"Roko and I felt the need to honor and acknowledge these monumental events that disrupt, shatter, shake one to the core. How does one recover and keep going? The Japanese House and Garden offers such a carefully considered place of grace and beauty and thoughtfulness. Immediately there is a sense of calm here. So our question in the performance is, how do these two worlds meet, co-exist? Hideo is not with us this year, yet he is part of the piece. He talked about seeing the rubble in Fukushima, the villages, houses and people … totally destroyed and washed away. But there were small items strewn about — a teacup, a record, an open book.
"We hope the performance will speak to all of this and connect with many people's ordinary lives and the persistence, grace and strength to carry on in the face of great loss … We did not plan this, but our final performance is the 10th anniversary of 9/11."
(Kathryn L. Speer of Mt. Airy, will also be performing with the Leah Stein Dance Company.)
The Shofuso Japanese House and Garden is in West Fairmount Park at 4301 Lansdowne Drive. The performances will be Sept 8 and 9, 6 p.m.; Sept 10 at 4 and 6 p.m., and Sept 11 at 2 p.m.
For tickets and information: www.livearts-fringe.org or 215-413-1318. The 15th Annual Fringe/Live Arts Festival runs through Sept. 17. More on the Shofuso Japan House: www.shofuso.com.

ICS-7 - Seminar

Vortrag: Dr. Michael Rose, Institut für Pathologie, AG Molekulare Pathologie, Universitätsklinikum der RWTH Aachen
Titel: Characterization of molecular mechanisms driving cancer metastasis
Veranstaltungsort: Seminar room ICS-7/PGI-3, Building 02.4w, Room 309b
Abstract: Metastasis is known to occur rapidly after tumor development and is responsible for high mortality rates of malignant diseases such as breast cancer. Metastasis is a multistep cascade, involving five steps: (1) Initial invasion of tumor cells into surrounding stroma, (2) intravasation, (3) blood circulation, (4) extravasation, and finally (5) micro- and macroscopic colony growth at distant organs. In-depth understanding of mechanisms driving metastatic processes is inevitable to develop novel therapeutic approaches. In recent years accumulating studies revealed that critical factors of early metastatic steps encode proteins which are associated with the extracellular matrix (ECM) affecting cancer cell adhesion, ECM turnover, migration or crucial cellular differentiation processes such as the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Given that, we aim to characterize players involved in modulating ECM composition or epithelial plasticity based on in vitro and in vivo tumor models that give novel insight into molecular pathways contributing to metastatic diseases.

I'm drinking with a hot guy. And his hot wife. My mother is forcing leftover ravioli on them at a nice restaurant that doesn't serve ravioli. I would be mortified, but I'm too busy luxuriating. The evening is warm and supple on Poppy Den's veranda, and I didn't pay for this glass of J. Rogét Brut. It's not my birthday. It's happy hour.
Mom and I are already on our second stop of a happy-hour crawl through Tivoli Village, and it's not even 6. Other people have real jobs, and I suppose it's not their fault. What is their fault? Heading home to crack a Michelob when they could be at Brio sipping white peach sangria on the patio—not the one with the opera music and fancy linens, the one with the genius menu of $5 drinks and $3.95 snacks. That's how the old girl and I began this Thursday night, with sunlight catching the ice in my mojito and beef carpaccio going way beyond four-dollars delicious. The ravioli with Romano crust and cilantro pesto were just as tasty, which is why the leftovers ended up at Poppy Den.
Shamelessly, Mr. Hot gets into the Styrofoam box, probably in retaliation because he's not a lady, and therefore isn't enjoying crisp, nose-tickling, ripe-fruity champagne on the house. Despite knowing them for about three minutes, Mom asks how the Hots fell in love. They regale us over Poppy Den's lovely salad of sesame-dusted, olive oil-drizzled watermelon cubes wearing cute little hats of goat cheese and candied wasabi. The bite is like Tivoli, so easy to enjoy that you wonder why the hell you don't do this every night.
It's time to crawl, but to where? Japanese mainstay Kabuki's reverse happy hour won't kick in until 9 p.m., but it's worth the wait for $1.95 sake or Sapporo and $3.50 wines by the glass. The View, inside Tivoli's airy Market LV, tempts with $2 draft wines and Stella Artois for $3. But Cantina Laredo is next door to Poppy Den, and the perfume of fresh tortilla chips cannot (and should not) be resisted.
We take a booth inside. Eric Gallardo materializes tableside with chips right out of the fryer. Cantina has daily specials and happy-hour deals, so Thursday means $4 Casa Ritas for ladies all night and $3 minis for everyone in the bar's happy window. Fresh lemon and lime juices, Cointreau and Sauza's smooth Giro Silver Tequila could not be a better foil for the guacamole Eric makes before our eyes. Mom is so overwhelmed with his performance that she goes in for a hug. We taste his creation, and she hugs him again. The Hots and I agree this is legit two-hug guac. Loaded on the half-price ahi tacos, it's true love.
Lowball Diary
Happy hour doesn't apply, but there's no way we're leaving without trying Cantina's Mango Mint Gingerita ($11.50), with Milagro Silver, mint leaves, mango purée and a float of ginger beer. You might see the word "mango" and think "foofy," but this margarita is a modern, balanced take on a classic.
As a concept, happy hour is a classic, too. You find it at sports bars and dive bars, here at this Summerlin über-complex and at the Cosmopolitan's Comme Ça, where Island Creek oysters will melt your face for $1.50 apiece. Even when I'm not in the mood for cheap eats and cocktails it's nice knowing they're out there, a sure thing in this unsure world.
The Hots are glowing over memories of their totally spontaneous engagement. The look on Mom's face is just as wistful, but it's about the crawl. "We had everything," she sighs more than says. I hate to ever admit she's right, but that's exactly what I'm thinking.

I am more than a little excited to announce the following bit of news:
In the fall of 2010 (probably), St. Martin's Press will be publishing LET'S PANIC ABOUT BABIES!: How To Endure and Possibly Triumph over the Adorable Interloper Who Will Ruin Your Body, Destroy Your Life, Melt Your Brain, and Finally Turn You into a Worthwhile Human Being
(Actually, that's the entire book. There you go!)
The book will, naturally, be written by Eden Marriott Kennedy and myself.
If you're wondering, "Hey. Didn't Eden and Alice just launch that website? How did this happen so quickly for them?" Well. Let us assure you, reader, that the journey that led to this extraordinarily happy place was so long and circuitous and frustration-plagued that if I shared the entire story with you, you would fall to the ground in horror. And then you may never walk again.
It's true. Eden's legs don't work anymore. Those things she walks on? Pogo sticks strapped to her withered gams, the whole shebang hidden under her Man Jeans.
I was the lucky one. I only lost my ability to feel, and love.
But enough of our sorrow! We have a book to write, people. And oh, it's going to be funny. That we can promise. Funny, and long, and a bitch to write. But mostly funny. We can't wait to show you.

Ring set with diamonds, black sapphires and onyx, in white gold
Both sweet and intuitive, Nara the doe is a symbol of femininity and sensitivity. Its eyes made of black lacquer and black sapphires are as intense as wild, a perfect fit for women with attitude.More detail
The peacock feather motif first appears at Boucheron in 1866. The jeweler is quite overcome by the seductive power of its graphic structure and ethereal grace. Moreover, it is while they are playing with a peacock feather that Frédéric Boucheron and his workshop manager, Paul Legrand, have the idea in 1883 to create the famous Point d'Interrogation necklace. Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovich Romanov, known for his modern tastes, knows a good thing when he sees it and buys it immediately. Since then, new interpretations of the beautiful feather regularly feature in the High Jewelry collections.Discover all of the Boucheron moments

Billy Wilder spent seven years with his co-writer I. A. L. Diamond working on the script of The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes. The finished film originally lasted over three hours, but the studios panicked over the failure of such long form films (Doctor Doolittle with Rex Harrison, and Star! with Julie Andrews and Michael Craig) and demanded cuts. The film was hacked down to an acceptable 93 minutes. Diamond didn't speak to Wilder for almost a year
It was a terrible act of vandalism that robbed cinema of one of its greater Holmes, as portrayed by Robert Stephens. It was also bizarre that Wilder, who believed in the primacy of the word, allowed his script to be so drastically altered, turning what was an original meditation on Holmes into a mildly distracting caper. In the process we lost Wilder and Diamond's analysis of Holmes not as just a fictional creation, but in comparison to Shakespeare's Hamlet.
The clues are all there to be found. Let's start with the casting, Stephens, who was one of the most gifted and brilliant actors of his generation - who sadly only graced the screen in a handful of films: scene-stealing in A Taste of Honey, as the art teacher Teddy Lloyd in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, and as the BFI states, "sublime" in The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes. Stephens was a stage actor, the heir apparent to Laurence Olivier indeed, in some respects, a far better actor than Olivier, who depended for success by flirting with the audience - Olivier could never be bad as he needed, demanded, the love of his audience.
When Wilder cast Stephens, the actor asked the great director:
'"How do you want me to play it for the movie," I asked Billy. "You must play it like Hamlet. And you must not put on one pound of weight. I want you to look like a pencil." So, that's the way we did The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes.'
The game's afoot on 'The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes', after the jump…

Hello everyone!
So I received a phone call from you guys, East Coast Fertility, and I spoke to someone about my options. She basically told me what you guys on here told me. That MicroIVF is the way to go for me. It honestly sounds great. I'm all for it. Now I had 2 questions for her that slipped my mind to ask at the time. My first question is, what is the success rate for someone in my catagory? I am 31, nearly 32. I had my tubes tied in 2001, when I was 21 which was just under 11 years ago. Before I had my tubes tied, I had 3 pregnancies, all healthy, and all 3 babies were term. Never had a miscarriage, or a high risk pregnancy. All 3 children are about 2 years apart. Now my second question is about the cost. I know it is $3900. What I want to know is what payment options are available. I will not be going through insurance. Ive seen in other fertility places that the have a payment program where you make monthly payments until the cost is paid and THEN you start when the full amount is paid. Kind of like a savings program. Do you guys do anything like this?

City Council candidate David Nos filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy last December -- a "business decision" he said he was forced to make after encountering circumstances beyond his control amid a rough recession.
Nos had been running his printing business — CBFS Inc. — in Burbank for about 30 years. In spring 2010, he renewed leases on two Xerox machines for four years at roughly $2,000 a month, and a third machine for five years, also at roughly $2,000 a month, according to the lease agreement listed in a lawsuit filed by Xerox.
The recession, and the fact that one of his largest customers — a trade show operator — was shifting its model to include more digital services and therefore less printing, bruised his business, Nos said.
His company's gross income in 2007 was about $600,000; in 2008, it dropped to just under $500,000, he said.
The financial troubles were exacerbated, he said, when Xerox leased copy machines to his largest account — cutting him out of the equation and costing $200,000 a year in lost business.
"They had another sales team that went directly to my accounts and sold them the machines," he said. The customer, he added, was a service company with 1,200 employees, but he declined to give the name.
U.S. Bankruptcy Court records show a further decline in his business' gross income, which dropped from $255,736 in 2009 to $189,803 in 2010, and to $143,073 in 2011.
What Xerox did was legal, Nos said, since he didn't have a non-competition agreement.
"The market's open," he said.
To make up for declining business, Nos said he acquired another printing business and began to offer email management services.
While trying to rebuild his company, Nos struggled to make the monthly lease payments on the three machines, he said, falling about five months behind.
"We couldn't build the income fast enough at that point to recoup the loss," he said.
So he shut down the CBFS corporation in September last year to prevent Xerox from coming after him personally, and a day later, opened a sole proprietorship in the same name, he said.
On Dec. 27, 2011, Nos filed for Chapter 13, which is designed for those with a steady income and allows a debtor to keep his or her property and pay all or part of the debts over time.
In February, Nos reached a payment plan with the court and the handful of unsecured creditors — out of the roughly dozen he owed — who decided to go after the money. Unsecured claims can include credit card debts, medical bills or legal bills.
For five years, Nos must pay $310 monthly to the courts, which distributes the funds to creditors, according to U.S. Bankruptcy records.
Creditors don't always seek what they are owed after an entity files for bankruptcy because they may feel it's not worth the hassle, said Nos' attorney, Sylvia Lew.
In March, Xerox sued CBFS Inc. in U.S. District Court for breach of contract. The lawsuit is still pending, records show.
Xerox attorney Robert McKendrick declined to comment on the case.
CBFS Inc. was officially dissolved on Sept. 20, shortly after the company's 2011 final tax returns were filed.
Nos said he's bouncing back from his financial struggles — his company's revenue has grown $20,000 between this year and last, he said — and noted that Donald Trump has declared bankruptcy multiple times.
He feels the experience makes him more qualified to run the city and reveals his commitment to transparency.
When asked how he can manage the city's budget given his financial history, he said his troubles have given him perspective.
"It doesn't make me any less capable to do the job," he said. "It probably helps because it gives me a better perspective on danger signals, to see some that people may not even be aware of, but I certainly am now."

Summary and Keywords
Imperial Rome was by far the largest city of its time, and feeding its populace—about one million according to most estimates—required an ever-watchful eye on the part of the authorities. The system supplying Rome, the armies, and some other cities with grain and other foodstuffs came to be known as the annona. The Roman authorities began to intervene directly in the food supply of the city of Rome in the mid-Republican period. A momentous step in this development was the introduction of the grain distribution (frumentatio) by C. Sempronius Gracchus in 123 bce. In the Principate, the annona became a central feature of the relationship between the emperor and the capital's inhabitants. At the end of Augustus's reign the office of the annona came to be headed by a praefectus annonae, who had recourse to a staff of subordinates in Rome, Ostia, and Puteoli. Apart from the produce of the imperial estates, Rome collected tax grain primarily in Sicily, Sardinia, and Africa, and from Augustus onwards in Egypt; Rome was then largely sustained by this flow of public grain. The main responsibility of the praefectus annonae was to administer the transportation by means of shipping contracts from the grain provinces to Rome and to curb fraud and speculation on the grain market. The prefect also offered legal support for private businessmen involved in the annona. Part of the public stock was distributed at the frumentationes, which fed a significant part, but not all, of the populace. When Constantinople was founded as a new capital by Constantine, Rome lost access to the Egyptian tax-grain and relied heavily on Africa for grain and olive oil. The system of the annona was enforced more strictly, and shippers involved in the food supply of Rome found themselves bound to their obligations to the annona. In the West, the system ended when Africa was conquered by the Vandals in 429 ce. In the East, Constantinople continued to rely on Egypt until it was conquered by the Persians in 617 ce.

Liberty News
Military Emphasis Week 2012: Honoring our nation's heroes
As a tribute to veterans and those actively serving in the U.S. military, Liberty University will host its annual Military Emphasis Week Nov. 5-10.
Several events are planned, including a veteran's appreciation luncheon, panels, a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder awareness seminar, a military appreciation race, and a military veteran's tailgate in anticipation of the Flames football game against Stony Brook, featuring a halftime tribute to our nation's heroes, kicking off Saturday at 3:30 p.m.
The George Rogers Champion of Freedom Award will be given to a nominated military service member who has gone above and beyond the call of duty. The award is in honor of George Rogers who was a prisoner of war during World War II. He was forced to march 75 miles a day with little food or water. In 2012, Rogers finally received recognition for his service and was awarded the Purple Heart and Prisoner of War Medal. Rogers worked at Liberty from 1974-99, beginning as CEO of "The Old Time Gospel Hour" and retiring as vice president of finance and administration.
On Monday night, a candlelight tribute service will be held to remember fallen heroes, including several members of the Liberty family. On Wednesday, Liberty will host a special patriotic Convocation service in the Vines Center, featuring guest speaker Rev. Tim Lee, a retired Marine and long-time supporter of Liberty University and Military Emphasis Week. Later in the day, the university will host a panel of military officers serving in Washington, D.C., in the Supreme Courtroom at Liberty University School of Law.
On Saturday morning, members of Liberty's family and the local community are invited to lace up their sneakers and take off from Liberty Mountain Snowflex Centre through the Liberty Mountain trails for the Valley View 5 Miler, a military appreciation race. (Register before Nov. 10 for the discounted race price.)
All week, displays for each branch of the military will be set up across campus. The back hallway of Arthur S. DeMoss Learning Center will be the center point of these displays, with a pull-up bar, Humvee display, and other activities taking place throughout the week.
Students Behind Our Soldiers will be accepting donations for care packages that will be sent to soldiers in time for Christmas. Donations can be given Monday-Wednesday in designated boxes at the Vines Center, Green Hall, Career Center, and the School of Aviation.
The sacrifice and dedication of our nation's military remains a main focus at Liberty. Many students in Liberty's resident population and online education program are actively serving in the armed forces, representing all five branches of the U.S. military; some are even pursuing their education while serving overseas.
The Office of Military Affairs offers several resources to help these military students and veterans with academic and financial benefits and to provide spiritual support.

The 501st Legion, also known as the 501st Battalion during the Clone Wars and later known as "Vader's Fist" and the Five Hundred and First, was an elite unit of clone troopers commissioned by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine during the Clone Wars that later became a stormtrooper unit. Made up of units like Torrent Company, the 501st fought in many battles, such as the Battle of Teth and the Battle of Coruscant, becoming one of the most well-known legions. In 19 BBY, the 501st became Darth Vader's personal unit as he led them during Operation: Knightfall, in which the clones helped take down the Jedi, whom they believed to be traitors to the Republic.

Risks and Opportunities of Participation in Global Value Chains
Since the first industrial revolution, waves of technological improvement have changed the boundary of production and redefined the role of the state. The information and communication technology revolution has not only increased productivity, but has also reinterpreted the function of time and distance—billions of activities are now linked with "one-click," and new transactions become possible with "just-in-time" delivery. If the technological revolution has made participation in Global Value Chains (GVCs) somewhat inevitable, it has also accentuated both the risks and opportunities associated with this involvement. On the one hand, participation in GVCs creates new opportunities for profits and expands the market horizon; but on the other hand, it exposes the enterprise sector to risks previously shielded by market boundaries and geographic distances, while increasing the scale of information asymmetry.

Three days worth of water?!
I think you might need to tote a trailer/water buffalo for that. I'm sure you know more about BoB Trailers than I. Maybe look at portable water containers and tow them? I don't know, have the equipment mailed to a safe location where you can pick it up, and them mail it home after the 3 days.
This company makes custom water bladders for water. The smallest size is 25 gallons, which I assume is too large? Can't really picture load size. If you google custom water tank, you will find a lot of companies that do this. Maybe just a big plastic water container.

ADDISON COUNTY — The average price of a well-balanced meal in the United States is around $2.70, according to the hunger relief charity Feeding America. In Vermont, the average is closer to $3.14, and in Addison County, the figure rises again, to $3.66.
A nonprofit organization launched last year by a group of Middlebury College students has found a way to cut prices to around $1.50 by distributing food boxes at locations throughout Addison County.

Welcome to the college football threads Ewillie!!
Rushing: M. Hayes (HOU) - 15 CAR, 50 YDS, 2 TD
Stopped Hayes to only 50yds.
against UCF: ran 24 times @ 48yds.
against SMU: ran 24 times @ 157yds - and only gave them 3 points.
against NAVY: ran 41 times @ 421yds - still won by 18.
against VIRGINIA: ran 40 times @ 153yds - beat an ACC team by 6.
lets hope USM wins by 10+ .....
Nevada doesn't really use the middle of the field; they tend to suck
defenses in with the ground game then attack deep on the edges. The pistol
offense features a ground attack that is more potent than anything Southern
Miss has seen in a while outside of the service academies, but unlike the
option, the pistol really sets up the deep ball where you can expect big lanky
Wolfpack WR Rishard Matthews to be licking his chops when he sees single
coverage. When the Southern Miss safeties inevitably collapse down to help with
the run, Matthews has a considerable size advantage on the outside. He measures
6-2 and somewhere in the 220 range. Both starting Southern Miss CBs are each
maybe 5-10, 180 lbs. Factor in wingspan and its more like 6+ inches to go along
with 40+ pounds. How effective is this strategy? Southern Miss has a high
octane passing offense and a great senior QB, they are completing about 60% of
their passes. Nevada checks in at about a 69% percent completion rate, #15 in
the nation. And they do not have a Heisman finalist on their roster as do most
of the teams ahead of Nevada.
All in all, Nevada might not pass for as many yards as Southern Miss, but
make no mistake the Pack is going to be taking their fair shots down field
which will either result in big plays for the Pack or lead to more running room
for the Nevada ground attack which will lead to longer clock-eating drives. All
together, Nevada has 6 guys who have 20+ catches and are also averaging over 12
yards per grab. Southern Miss has only 3 guys who fit that bill.
Southern Miss is getting all the defensive praise from most outlets, but do
not discount the Nevada D. Their Pass D is middle-of-the-pack from a yardage
standpoint, same as Southern Miss. Nevada allows about 226 per game, Southern
Miss about 233. But in other areas Nevada really shines. Pass completion
percentage allowed for instance. Nevada is #2 in the nation just a hair behind
Alabama at 48.9%. Southern Miss checks in at a still decent but way down the
list 58.2% allowed. Both teams still should be able to move the ball on each
other through the air, but it would be a mistake to assume that QB Austin Davis
and Southern Miss are just going to be able to bomb away at will on Nevada.
And last but not least, there is the Motivation angle, which I see working
against Southern Miss in a few different ways.
1) That Houston win was HUGE for
the program, arguably way bigger than any bowl win. Will they be focused?
Nevada also could be a bit disappointed after having the WAC title in their
hands in early November, but they have had more time to digest things. Southern
Miss could still be on cloud 9.
2) The islands. I believe this is
Southern Miss's first trip to Hawaii? Lots of distractions for young
20-somethings. Nevada plays Hawaii here every other year.
3) And lastly, Nevada might want to
erase some bad memories of their last bowl trip here. They were embarrassed in
this very same game 2 years ago and might have extra motivation to skip those
This should be a fun game with plenty of fireworks. Neither D should be able
to completely shut down the other's offense which should make the game
competitive throughout. But I like the big play ability of the Pack air attack
just a little bit more, all the moreso with the Nevada rushing advantage. On
the other side Southern Miss has really made their season with defensive
turnovers, specifically INTs. With Nevada playing a more vertical style than
what the Eagles have seen in CUSA play, I think any defensive advantage
Southern Miss might have by the numbers will get nerfed a little bit..
At the end of the day, I am gonna mildly call for the upset, 34-31 Nevada
lots of folks on so miss
I'll take nevada to the bank as well as will the bookmakers ...imho of course
"to the bank" a nevada lock, eh...I'll lake So Miss -6...
34-31..........Wolf Pack
to the bank" a nevada lock, eh...I'll lake So Miss -6...
you were lucky ...love to see your next pick
too bad I got 7 ... folks were getting or laying up to 8 1/2

Mark Hughes has signed his second player and second defender of the transfer window, following the capture of Marc Muniesa from Barcelona on a free transfer.
The Spanish under-21 international, who was a member of the Spain squad that were crowned champions at the European under-21 Championships, has signed a four-year-deal at the Britannia Stadium in what is something of a coup for the Potters.
Muniesa is the second full-back to be signed by the new Stoke manager, after Erik Pieters joined from PSV on Friday.
The 21-year-old is equally as competent at centre-back and full-back, which gives Hughes more strength in depth as the former QPR boss looks to make an immediate impact at Stoke.
Muniesa will add competition to the full-back role, with Pieters and Marc Wilson both vying for a first-team role.
Confirming the transfer on their official website, Stoke said: "Stoke City are delighted to announce the signing of highly-rated defender Marc Muniesa from Barcelona on a free transfer."
Speaking about the move, Muniesa said: "I'm very excited about moving to England to play for Stoke City and will do everything I can to help the Club.
"It wasn't a big decision for me to make. I came to England yesterday to meet the people at the club and look around the training ground, which is very impressive.
"My season only finished a fortnight ago when the European Championships ended, but I can't wait to get started for Stoke. I would start tomorrow if the club asked me to."

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Howard Sheppard Fired Truck Driver for Reporting Sexual Harassment, Agency Charges
ATLANTA – Howard Sheppard, Inc., a Sandersville, Ga., for-hire carrier company providing common, contract, and truckload services, violated federal law by firing a female employee for complaining about sexual harassment, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today.
According to the EEOC's suit, Civil Action No., 5:10-CV-118, filed in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia, Sarah Waller, a truck driver, complained to management officials that she had been subjected to unwelcome sexual advances and remarks over the CB radio by her co-workers. Shortly thereafter, the EEOC said, Howard Sheppard terminated Waller in retaliation for reporting the harassment.
Retaliating against an individual for reporting sexual harassment violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement.
"An employer who punishes an employee for reporting sexual harassment in the workplace is only making a bad situation worse and compounding its own liability," said Bernice Williams Kimbrough, district director for the EEOC's Atlanta District Office. "The EEOC will act to prevent this type of misconduct, and we urge employers to take swift and decisive action in response to reports of sexual harassment and hostile work environments."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.
