Wow, the jacket is a winner, Rick Owens maybe? I anticipate a lot of comments on the elastic waistband, I would have perhaps covered it with a dark tie or something, perhaps in the same tone of gray as to avoid breaking the line of the shirt/pants. But that's just me. Beautiful woman! I bet she has tons of gay male friends who take her out to show her off; I know I would. Jorge from W Palm Beach
Cute smile, the lines of the outfit flatter her figure, black jacket and this fabric all look nice together, even the pajama-look is working here. But… MUST it be jumpsuits again? WHY jumpsuits?
This looks good from a distance. Up close I'm not crazy about the elasticized waistband nor the print itself, and for some reason the shoes have a slightly comical look, with their one or two painted toenails peeking out. Great jacket and bag, and a good overall look- I just think a few details could be improved upon.
Brilliant. I love the silhouette. She knows her body is in perfect shape for the look, but plays coy with the billowy pant. The photo itself is amazing, as well.
The gathered ankles do bring attention to the shoes, don't they. I love them and hope someone here will know who makes them. And where they are on sale as I have very little budget for clothes and shoes right now.
A gorgeous woman, and I am absolutely coveting her jacket and shoes.
But I cannot get my head around the jumpsuit trend. They are so impractical and, to my eye, have a tendency to look like children's pajamas.
My only criticism is about the elasticized legs; otherwise it's a cute look, and I love her impish smile. she's got something going on that we can only wonder about.
She's invited to my next pajama party.
I saw this jumpsuit on the train on a different woman! Where is this from? Jumpsuit or not, it looks so refreshing. No?
I love these shoes too. Especially the creamy colour matchs very good with the grey overall in contrast to the jacket. The fabric of it seems very light and flatter the elegance of her walk.
I am a big fan of this blog, I got the link by http://www.eastern-look.blogspot.com (Dresden)and http://www.stilinberlin.blogspot.com (Berlin)
which are my favorite fashion blogs here in Germany. You know them?
not many people could pull this off and make it look like real clothing instead of a costume, but she just looks sophisticated and classy.
I love the motion in your new pictures.
Her body type flatters this ensemble. I like the color combination too. Simple but stylish.
I love the movement in this photo, and that jumper with the jacket is fantastic.
Love this – she looks great.What a perfect little jacket – one of those wardrobe staples you keep forever. I like her shoes and the fact her bag is nice and discrete. The best accessory – her beautiful smile.
The dowdiness of a jumpsuit is gone with the presence of a blousy cuff, , which draws attention to her thin and pretty legs. Wouldn't be near as good without the jacket. I'm jealous of a climate where you can wear leather in September somewhere other than on your shoes!
I LOVE the print on the jumpsuit!!! I agree that a belt or tie at the waist (obi perhaps?) would be just perfect… but she is so cool and refined – for a jumpsuit look even!
Ahh, the photo is so cool!! The smile, the head-tilt, the way she's caught in mid-step! Was this posed?
I love the silhouette, but I bet it would be just -spot on- if the items had some color to them instead of a greyscale palette. Though she wouldn't echo the background in that case…
It's interesting the way the grey zebra print and the leather jacket and the heels look very urban on their own, but something about the fit of the clothes makes me think of a beachy, sarong-type outfit or something else with gypsy touches.
I am wondering how tall she is that she can manage the loose and breezy items and the cropped bottoms like that and still look so elongated–maybe the heels and the high waist and the long hair contribute to that effect, or maybe she's just eight feet tall.
Such an enchanting shot!
So feminine. She is lovely.
gorgeous, i love it!
The jacket is stunning!
Makes me wanna go right out and buy a leather jacket…not sure if I can pull off a jumpsuit with zebras tho but kudos to her cuz it's super cute!! :)
I adore everything.
she reminds me of irene cara in fame! very pretty…
I believe this jumpsuit is from French Connection. I think it's so cute!
I like to call this look …
Jasmine from Disney's Aladdin goes to the city.
love the jumpsuit, lovely jacket :)
Unexpected and perfectly executed…love the taupe and the gray together.
I love jumpsuits, but this one looks like baby's onesie to me. Love the jacket.
I could cry myself to sleep with longing for those shoes. Does anyone know where to find them?
oh, i love, love, love it.
gorgeous shoes!
She's lovely – looks a lot like Thandie Newton.
Jumpsuits on the whole = shudder, but…she does carry it well. That said, I'm not a fan of the print, but do like the line of the leg (complimented by the elastisized cuff). Also love the shoes.
Question: do you have to take EVERYTHING off to pee?
wow whimsical. where can i get this jumpsuit?
i love the silhouette of her outfit!
and she carries teh entire thing wiht such panache..
though i dont see many women carrying it off as well..shes in awesome shape..
physically and fashionably
I would recommend this for no one but her. She's the first person I've seen look good in a jumpsuit. And, dadgum, as much as I would recoil in horror at this jumpsuit in a shop, she looks quite lovely in it.
I. want. those. shoes
Great shapes on her, I love where the elastic hits her waist, and it looks likes a cozy mix of leather and (probably) jersey.
Not a fan of the print though — makes me wonder if these are kids' pajamas.
She's beautiful, but I hate the jumpsuit; it looks like she just rolled out of bed and threw a jacket and shoes on.
Love the jacket, bag, print and shoes. Don't like the jumpsuit, elastic waistband, and elastic (ginnie) like bottom. The woman, however is beautiful!
The jumpsuit is French Connection and the shoes are Mayle.
This photo makes me happy.. reminds me how beautiful people can be, both on the outside and on the inside.
aaawe zebra jammies!
the configuration of the face is the scaffolding by which any combination chosen by the young lady wld be entirely validated. Not to say she dosent look like the shit but she strikes me as someone who cld wear a black bag and make it look good. thus the jump suit's great; i do like the print-but i think its a tad dour. the juxtoposition with the jacket works to a degree but isnt particularly striking. its the detail of the face that kills me. Striking Lady.
Misssing David Foster Wallace.
Simply amazing! The neutral palette, unique jumpsuit, and classic leather jacket make for a great ensemble. The look is fresh, fun, and young without being silly or over-the-top.
Ah,French Connection – so hit and miss! I personally love this jumpsuit from FCUK and almost bought it when I had the chance on sale in August…but on me, it was TOTAL pjs. On her, with the jacket and shoes, it's just witty and chic.
Is that jersey or linen? She looks a bit like Thandie Newton.
could she be any cuter?
The look as a whole is a winner and she looks great in it. The only problem I have with it, is that if you were to remove any element of the outfit (i.e. the jacket or the shoes), it would look as if she were running outside in a pair of stylish pajamas.
she looks so effortlessly chic! i love it.
Not everyone can pull off a one-piece pantsuit much less a graceful action shot. Great pic and style!
Oh, hey p.j.'s
Very Brooklyn Sudano
great photo! it captures the motion. and her smile is beautiful. It looks like a really comfortable outfit, but maybe less PJ-like if the jumpsuit were a different material.
Jumpsuit is French Connection-Spring/Summer 2008
I don't think that this looks that great, sorry. Adults dressing like children is not sexy, it's infantile.
If you're a grown woman you need to accept that you are not romping around the McDonald's playroom, no matter how much of a rich bohemian you fancy yourself to be.
The sloppiness and wrinkles adds to the overall pruniness of the look.
That smile is too broad and goofy for that ridiculous jumper.
At least she seems pleased with herself. I know I wouldn't be if I were wearing that jumper.
I like it all down to the shoes…
but I do have to complain:
15th Street on the west side is Chelsea/Meatpacking
-Chelsea girl
A for effort! Just effort….
Here we have a case (as in many pictures on this blog lately) of a gorgeous creature dressed not so gorgeously. But because she's so damn fine it doesn't matter that she's wearing her jammies out in public. You forgive her. Who could do otherwise? Look at that smile!
The jacket is great. I like the shoes too.
I agree with others – pajamas! But great legs and wonderful shoes.
coolest shoes ever!!! i want them.
love the motion in the shot !!!
at least the pajamas look comfy!
awesome shoes!
it's great on her.
I would LOVE to love this look, but I'm around baby clothes all day and I can't get 'ONESIE' out of my head. I think if this were in some type of silk or shiny fabric in black or a deep jewel tone it would be more like naughty bedroom wear, but all I see are animal print pjs with a leather jacket :( She is rather cute though.
I like everything except the print, but she is so beautiful and graceful, she pulls it off!
only in new york
Beautiful person, but the jumpsuit?, nonono.
It looks like one piece scrubs.
The shoes are Mayle from a few seasons ago. They are super comfy and so cute and go with everything. Classic Mayle. Sigh…
she is very beautiful & looks very comfortable – nice picture!
She looks darling! One can never go wrong pairing up black and gray. The neutral shoes finish off the look beautifully–black shoes would be too predicable.
very nice casual chick. i like black nails – they are adding some mystery…
How are these people finding these clothes. I want to look like this when I go outside. I gotta move!
Adorable and appropriate for the city.
I want her hair
ah – her shoes are divine! and it's great that she's rocking the elastic-waisted jumpsuit that may look like a pajama set on someone less confident. very impressive!
Does anyone else recognize this gorgeous girl as Jeffrey's model from Project Runway? I do believe it Marilinda, and the jacket is last year's Zara.
She is so cute!!
BTW i love your blog!!!
Sophia from France
too cool for school. i love the geometric cuts of the shoes! but mostly her attitude shines through. how refreshing – a gorgeous girl with a, gasp, kind face and a smile!
Me encanta el estilo que lleva!
the shoes look chic and comfy, a rare combo.
hmm yes different combo.. the jacket and the shoes are great, but I think this pretty girl might be one of the few to be able to pull off this loose PJ-y one piece… with the two other fun pieces
Brazilian? Colombian? She's gorgeous!
Beautiful. I particularly like how this simply outfit is quite simply (there's that word again) HERS. 99% of the population couldn't pull it off, and yet . . . so natural.
This girl is not from Project Runway. Her name, i think is Annabelle and she is a fashion editor.
I love this print
Goodness too many people digging up their 80s wardrobe. Make it stop!!
Love, love, love!!!
I believe the shoes are from Mayle (Jane Mayle) – she has a store on Elizabeth St. in NYC but I believe she's quitting the business.
The shoes are from last fall or winter I think.
ahh such a lovely lady!
i saw this girl, later on that night though. right at penn station. i thought how adorable she looked and figured she was probably on a street style blog somewhere. how right i was.
i am missing girls like her in germany…..
i'm not really feeling the print but the i like the length of it
That is one sophisticated, smart and beautiful looking woman !!
That is one big fashion mistake !!
She looks like she got up in a hurry and with no time to spare put her jacket on over the top of the pajamas she woke up wearing.
Love the shoes and hair though and i cant fold the photograph
Love that she embodies a sense of class, energy, and confidence right through to her grounded eyes… and that she struts carrying all that but not showing it off, and not needing to show skin. A truly beautiful woman.
Gorgeous! After 7 years still The City Summer Look!
She looks like she is wearing her pajamas.

Even if this doesn't come to pass, I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart just for even thinking about me.As of about 12:00 today I should be on the road to Gatlinberg Tennessee where my roomate has been relocated.

Lancaster area middle school rivals A.R. Rucker and South swapped hardwood wins Wednesday at the Lancaster High School gym.
The Lady Rams rolled to a 50-12 victory in the opener, but the South boys, in a much closer game, earned a measure of hoops revenge with a thrilling 35-33 win.
In the nightcap, the Mustangs' Keendarius Truesdale drove the lane for the winning bucket with 0.3 seconds left to lift South to the comeback win.

Doing things on time and managing
time efficiently are distinct signs of good manners and reliability
in business. However, there are numerous situations when your knowledge
of the current time becomes a far more important component of your
success, spreading beyond punctuality and your image among partners
and customers. In some cases, being in the right place a second
earlier means being accepted into college or company, exempt from
something or, on the contrary, be given something you need or want.
A single second can define whether its Sunday or Monday and win
an argument over two bets placed at the same time or answers given
almost simultaneously. A moment can make you a winner, but you must
be 100% sure your clock is showing the right time. Although the
standard Windows clock is pretty accurate, it may run late or run
ahead after system reboots, motherboard battery replacements, manual
correction and changes made by various applications. In this case,
you need a solution that will synchronize your system clock with
a reliable source or many sources for extra accuracy and reliability.
And this is exactly what Absolute Time Corrector does!
If you manage a corporate network
of any size, time accuracy is one of the tasks you have to deal
with. In a corporate environment, it is essential that every computer
(and user) works with the same accurate time. This allows your colleagues
to make it in time for offline and online meetings, join teleconferences
at the scheduled time and send documents before deadlines. The task
of regular time synchronization in your LAN becomes even more important
is you work for a company that works with international clients
or online systems, such as auctions or electronic exchanges. These
automated systems may not let you perform a vital operation after
a certain time, while you may still have a couple of minutes to
go – or so will your Windows clock say.
If you are seeking an all-in-one solution for time
synchronization in your entire corporate infrastructure, Absolute
Time Server is the right choice. It is a full-fledged time server
capable of running as a Windows service. It starts as a background
process, consumes a tiny fraction of your system resources and fully
supports RFC-868 (Time) and RFC-2030 (SNTP) time synchronization
protocols. Deploying Absolute Time Server will be a snap –
this compact solution starts working right out of the box and you
don't need to initially configure it.
Great News! Major updates for Absolute Time Corrector: version 10.3
The big news this day is the release of version 8.2 of Absolute Time Server
You can now purchase a family license for any of our products. A Family
License allows you to use the product on 3 home computers. Purchasing a
family license gives you three licenses for the price of two.

Professor Says Learning Extends Beyond Classroom
In order for professors to be successful in the classroom, they need to be open to learning alongside their students, said new Assistant Professor of Accounting Nancy Chun Feng. She sees each of her courses as an opportunity to refine her teaching and bring real-world issues into the classroom.
"I strive to continually improve both the content and delivery of my courses so that my students can take away something that goes beyond what they read in their textbooks or in the popular press," she said.
Feng, who specializes in auditing, nonprofit auditing and accounting, and financial accounting, will be teaching the undergraduate-level accounting course Intermediate Accounting I (ACCT 321) this fall and both undergraduate and graduate levels of Not-for-Profit Accounting and Control (ACCT 415 and ACCT 871) in the spring of 2013.
Before joining Suffolk, Feng served as an assistant professor at Providence College, a lecturer at Boston University, an assistant professor at Gordon College, and an instructor at Daniel Webster College and Kaplan University.
She is a firm believer in "active learning," whereby students engage in activities, such as reading, writing, and discussions, to analyze course content. It involves a cooperative, problem-based approach to teaching.
"I believe that students benefit the most from active participation in the learning process, both inside and outside of the classroom. Therefore, I think it is very important to share my working experience as well as my current research with students so that students have the exposure to the real-world experience," she said.
Her main research interests include auditing and not-for-profit accounting and auditing. "I find it fascinating to examine how various stakeholders, such as management and auditors, act in the unique not-for-profit setting," said Feng, who is working on several research projects that combine auditing and not-for-profit fields.
Feng holds a DBA in accounting from Boston University; MBA from the University of Massachusetts, Boston; MS from the University of Connecticut; and BS from Peking University in Beijing. Prior to teaching, she gained several years of experience in the industry. Besides teaching and research, she has also been serving as a board member of several not-for-profit organizations.

In a study of analyst recommendations at the major brokerages, for the underlying components of the S&P 500, Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: WPI) has taken over the #44 spot from UnitedHealth Group Inc (NYSE: UNH), according to ETF Channel. Below is a chart of Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. versus UnitedHealth Group Inc plotting their respective rank within the S&P 500 over time (WPI plotted in blue; UNH plotted in green):
In forming the rank, the analyst opinions from the major brokerage houses were tallied, and averaged; then, the underlying components were ranked according to those averages. Investors often interpret analyst opinions from different angles — a popular analyst pick could mean that many sharp minds individually came to the same bullish conclusion, and therefore the stock should do well... but it could also mean that if the company makes any slight stumble, that would come as a negative surprise and cause a downward impact on the stock. Click here to find out The Current Top 25 Broker Analyst Picks of the S&P 500 »
From the other direction, when companies have a lowrank among analysts, it isn't necessarily the case that investors should conclude that the stock will perform poorly. It can mean that of course, but: a bullish investor who can make a case for a positive future catalyst could also take the contrarian angle and recognize that there is lots of room for upside since the stock is presently so out of favor.
For these reasons, we at ETF Channel find value to putting together these rankings, because both the top and the bottom ends of the lists can often make for some interesting stock picking ideas for further research.

Below is a three month price history chart comparing the stock performance of WPI vs. UNH:
According to the ETF Finder at ETF Channel, WPI and UNH collectively make up 4.55% of the Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund ETF (XLV) which is trading higher by about 0.1% on the day Monday.

AUSTIN — Case McCoy's game-winning touchdown drive against Kansas wasn't enough to earn him a job as a starter.
Texas coach Mack Brown announced Monday that David Ash remains the Longhorns' first-string quarterback heading into this week's game at Texas Tech.
Ash was outstanding for most of this season's first seven games, and is still ranked 26th nationally in passing efficiency. But against the Jayhawks, he completed just 8 of f16 passes for 63 yards with two interceptions.
McCoy, who split time with Ash last year, came off the bench for the final two drives, both of which ended in touchdowns. His 1-yard scoring pass to D.J. Grant lifted the Longhorns to a 21-17 victory over the Jayhawks, the worst team in the Big 12.
Monday, McCoy declined to say if he was disappointed about UT's decision to start Ash, saying, "I always prepare to be the starter."
"I know if I ever get thrown into the fire again, I'll be prepared," McCoy said.

Cookbook:Parmesan Cheese
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Cookbook | Recipes | Ingredients | Cheese
Parmesan cheese is a hard dry white Italian cheese that stores well. It has a particularly buttery, salty taste. It is also known as Parmigiano-Reggiano.
It is available ready-grated as a powder intended for sprinkling onto food at the table.
Grating or shaving the cheese into thin slivers immediately before use will give a moister result. Parmesan is the traditional topping to many Italian dishes, including risotto, where it adds a final richness and creaminess.
With the advent of refrigeration and pre-shredded soft cheeses, mozzarella cheese can now take the place of parmesan for table usage but the taste is blander.
Parmesan cheese is used in the making of pesto.

7-Can Taco SoupWhile 7-Can Taco Soup may not be a classic southern recipe, it is certainly a very popular recipe in the south, no doubt because it feeds a crowd, is a party favorite, and is simply delicious. It's also another one of those recipes that's been around forever.
Called 7-Can Taco Soup, because it uses 7 cans of some combination of beans, tomatoes and veggies - my cans of choice are diced tomatoes, Rotel tomatoes, canned green chilies, chili beans, kidney beans, pinto beans and a can of corn. What you put in it varies from recipe to recipe, so settle on your own favorites and use whatever number of cans you like. This combination just happens to be the way I like mine.
Here's how to make it.
Vary the beans - some people use black beans or northern beans, or several cans of kidney beans. Go for it! Some use salsa or picante instead of Rotel tomatoes. Some like to use cream corn instead of whole kernel corn and I've even seen a recipe using mixed vegetables. Some people use water, some chicken broth. I prefer beef broth myself. Some people even like to add small shell or macaroni pasta. If you don't like the selection of "cans" here, mix it up and make it your own.
A lot of people also simmer this in the crockpot all day while they tend to the rest of life, but this comes together so quick and really only needs a 30 minutes simmer so I do mine on the stovetop. We're using canned beans so I don't want them to go mushy on me. I like to let it low simmer about an hour though, just to let all the flavors sort of marry and meld together, though it can also be held over low for quite awhile, perfect for those times the family seems to be eating in shifts.
With the exception of the chili beans - because they are packed in a chili sauce - I drain and rinse the beans I use.
My favorite garnishes include finely shredded cheese, chopped tomato, diced avocado, homemade tortilla strips, sour cream and sliced green onion. A yummy delicious soup, great for a rainy day, and especially good when you find yourself with a herd of kids running thorough your kitchen, all on different eating schedules. Makes plenty, holds well, and is even better leftover.
Don't forget to recycle those cans!

Recipe: 7-Can Taco Soup©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 minTotal time: 45 minYield: About 6 servings
- 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 pound of lean ground beef
- 1 cup of chopped onion
- 3 cloves of garlic, finely minced
- 1 envelope of ranch dressing mix
- 1 envelope of taco seasoning mix
- 1 can of diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 can of Rotel diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 can of green chilies, undrained
- 4 cups of beef broth or stock
- 1 can of chili beans, undrained
- 1 can of kidney beans, drained & rinsed
- 1 can of pinto beans, drained & rinsed
- 1 can of whole kernel corn, drained
- Optional Garnishes: Finely shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese, Chopped fresh tomato, diced avocado, shredded lettuce, homemade or commercial tortilla strips, Sour cream, sliced pickled jalapeno, green onion, chopped fresh cilantro, finely chopped red or yellow onion.
Heat the olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat, add the ground beef and onion and cook until beef is browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Stir in the ranch dressing and taco seasoning packets and cook and stir for another minute. Add the un-drained, diced tomatoes, Rotel tomatoes, and green chilies; cook and stir for 5 minutes. Stir in the beef broth and the undrained chili beans. Drain and rinse the kidney beans and pinto beans; drain the corn and add all to the pot and bring up to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Can hold longer over low heat.
Serve with a sprinkle of cheese, chopped tomato, diced avocado, tortilla chips, green onion and a dollop of sour cream, or your own favorite toppings, if desired.
Cook's Notes: To reduce sodium content, make your own homemade seasoning mixes and use lower sodium products. This is the mix of beans and veggies that I use, but with a well stocked pantry, you can vary the recipe according to your own tastes, using a variety of substitutes. I also like to add in 1/2 pound of raw sausage such as breakfast, Italian sausage or bratwurst along with the ground beef. Swap the beef for ground turkey or use cooked, shredded chicken for a different twist. If using a higher fat beef, omit the cooking oil.
For the Crockpot: Brown the meat, drain and add it with remaining ingredients to the slow cooker. Cook on high for 3-4 hours, reduce and hold on low until needed. May also heat through on the stove, and transfer to the slow cooker to keep warm.
Taco Goulash: Reduce beef broth to 1-1/2 cups and stir in 1-1/2 cups dry medium shells, elbow macaroni or other short cut pasta.

So, the background: Stacey's mom is super tired, cause she's temping and looking for a job (which, I know, TOTALLY sucks). But Stacey's dad just got this big promotion to vice president of something or other at his company, so his career is going swimmingly. In fact, the promotion is such a big deal that the company is throwing him this fancy dinner thing, and he invites Stacey, and even tells her to get a new outfit for the occasion. And Stace is super-stoked, 'cause, new clothes! Big weekend in NYC! But then...(duh, duh, duuuuhhh) Stacey's mom collapses at a job interview, and Stacey gets called out of school to go to the hospital. And Stacey's freaking out, cause she thinks her mom's going to die of leukemia or some shit. Turns out it's a nasty case of pneumonia. Which sucks, but it's not like Mrs. McGill is all on her death bed or anything. So, Stacey goes all martyr-complexy and insists on taking care of her mom at all hours and setting up mom-sitters for the hours when she's at school, and she temporarily quits baby-sitting and stops going to club meetings and BORING! And she angsts about whether or not to leave her mom for the big New York weekend.
Finally, she decides to not really make a decision and try to do both...so, she leaves after school Friday and goes to the dinner, but keeps leaving during the dinner to check on her mom. And she totally asks to leave early, but they don't leave until, like, midnight, which sucks cause she just has to take the 6:30 a.m. train, meaning she gets up at fucking 4:30 in the morning. Dumbass. Which riles up her relationship with her dad, who's none too pleased. And she's so tired she can't properly take care of Mom. So, Stacey just sucks all around. Finally, Mom gets better and tells Stacey that she can't take on everyone's probs.
Subplot: All the little kiddies waste all their money ordering crap from the backs of comic books and magazines. They get scammed, and wind up with tons of junk and don't have any money left to buy the yo-yos that they really want. So, they decide to have a traveling salesman-type show to sell all the crap. So, they pull their wagons from house to house and rap, recite poems and perform skits to try to sell the shit, with very little luck, but they get money for the performances. Blah. Stupid children, and stupid parents for letting them spend all their $$$ on stupid crap scams in mags.
So, here's what I really don't get. Since when does Stacey give a shit about anyone other than herself, and maybe Charlotte Johanssen (or how ever you spell it)? Seriously. And why is she all "ohmigod, my mom's dying" or whatever, when she's spent mad time in hospitals and being sick and shit? Isn't the whole point of "The Truth About Stacey" that overreacting about medical conditions is stupid? Whatever. And why do all the parents give the kids money to send away for stupid shit? My parents didn't let me order shit from the backs of mags, CAUSE IT'S A FUCKING RIPOFF!
Okay, here come the bullets!
- "...added Mal knowledgeably, even though she has been to New York, like, three times." Shut up, Stacey. You're a bitch on the first fucking page of the book.
- Oh, so Stacey's dad has a "tiny two-bedroom apartment." He must be paying a fortune in child support and alimony. I don't care if he's paying for a house and an apartment now, they were doing okay before the divorce. And now, with the promotion, he'll be able to upgrade for his stupid little daughter.
- Apparently, Claudia is neither fat nor thin, but just right. Huh.
- "But Claud and I have the exact same taste in clothes and fashion, and very similar interests. We are both sophisticated and trendy. I know I sound like I'm bragging, but everyone says this about us. We keep track of the new styles, and we wear tights and boots [ooh, trendy!], baggy tops, and big jewelry. Claud likes hats, and often wears one, and we experiment with makeup and accessories. We experiment with our hair, too, especially Claudia."
- Okay, so I totally remember this anecdote: "'Once,' began Kristy, 'I saw this ad on TV. The announcer said you could order this great collection of fifties and sixties rock 'n' roll songs by the original artists. You know what happened? The cassette arrived, but it turned out to be a collection of the old songs performed by a new group called the Original Artists. What a rip-off!...'" Yup, I totally remember that. And it's still stupid.
- So, to get her outfit for the big night, Stacey drags the girls to Zingy's, the store with "all that punk stuff." And this is the big winner: "...a hot pink (fake) silk jacket which fell to my knees, new black leggings [come on, Stace, did you really need another pair?], pink-and-black socks, and a black body suit. I planned to wear the outfit with black flats, and to dress it up with some jewelry and maybe a coupl of barrettes in my hair." Classy. You're going to a fancy business dinner, and you're dressing like you'll be spending the afternoon at the fucking mall.
- Heh. Arnie Swarteneggy.
- Ah, Stacey's imaginging the future, and her significant other's parents are divorced as well.
- Oh, and there's this whole thing where Stacey wishes there were a Divorce Handbook or some shit like that.
- I totally want a patch that says "Old bowlers never die; they end up in the gutter."
- Stacey bitches about delays at Grand Central. Shut up, Stacey.
- Heh. No one will tell Claire what a Bust Developer is.
- "I decided I had been away from New York too long. I was losing my grip on sophistication." Say it with me now, Shut up, Stacey!
- Stacey's dad says "But I swan." And I had to look that up. Apparently, to swan is to wander aimlessly or to dally. Huh.
- Heh, Stacey reminisces about Judy. See the archives for my Judy haiku.
- ANM, I'm so sure that some little kid knows what an "old-time medicine show" is.
- And how come Stacey gets to charge shit? I was never allowed to do that, and I would never authorize a fucking 13-year-old to use my charge card.
Oh, and one more time? Shut up, Stacey.

Sharks Gameday: Ron Returns To The Scene Of The Crime
San Jose Sharks vs. Toronto Maple Leafs
7:30 PM, Comcast Sportsnet
Sharks fans weren't particularly nice to Brian Campbell when he returned to HP Pavilion. That's to be expected, as Campbell came with a lot of potential and promise and he failed to deliver, then he said, "Screw you" to the team before cashing in.
So what happens when the guy who came with the most potential and promise returns? Perhaps Ron Wilson himself didn't embody that potential but his roster – and regular season performance – certainly did, and as the guy who runs the show when it comes to motivating players, the combined lack of inspiration and toughness can fall on Wilson's shoulders. If only to accentuate the point, Todd McLellan's got this team doing those things, though it certainly helps that McLellan's got a better set of defensemen.
Does Ron Wilson deserve a harsh greeting when he steps behind the bench as a visitor for the first time since the axe fell? In my opinion, no. In fact, as critical as I was of the guy, I think he deserves hearty recognition for what he accomplished with the team.
Put it this way: Wilson took a team that focused more on grit than skill and brought the best out of them, if only for a short time. Wilson seemingly has a penchant to make mediocre players good (see: Wayne Primeau) but when the roster become stronger and more skillful, Wilson couldn't figure out the right combination.
There's plenty to criticize with Wilson. His stubborn refusal to depart from his "five guys in formation" system gave the team an identity of a fast team that became so entrenched in their roles that they failed to truly use their natural skill and creativity. On the power play, rather than use movement and skill, Wilson's system simply said, "Go to Joe Thornton on the half boards." And then there's his whole public smiting of players, something that Toronto's getting a taste of now. That sort of abrasiveness only goes so far.
Still, you can't take away the 2003-04 conference finals away from Wilson, and when you look at a roster filled with the Nils Ekmans and Alex Korolyuks of the world, it's hard to figure out how that particular squad was so awesome to watch. And you won't hear me criticizing Wilson on the defensive side of things; the team's goals-against were always strong and for the most part, the penalty kill was solid. It's just that after the team moved past the overachieving 03-04 squad, something was always off about the team, be it passion or toughness or chemistry.
The bottom line is that despite the team's post-season failures and inconsistencies, Wilson's still got the best record in Sharks history – and he's taken them farther than Darryl Sutter or Kevin Constantine. For that simple fact, Wilson should get a rousing ovation when he's shown on the HP Pavilion jumbotron.

The NCAA women play most of their first- and second-round tournament games at on-campus sites, which sometimes results in "quirky" scheduling—like say, a 9-seed getting to play two games on their home floor.
The explanation is simple, of course—they need to sell tickets. It's hard enough to fill the Breslin Center for a regular MSU game, but try doing it for four teams that no one in East Lansing could give a rip about. So the Spartans (and some other teams that did not necessarily deserve it) got to play at home for rounds one and two, despite being the lower-seeded team in both games. So what happened? Two wins, including a sweet, sweet smackdown of top-seeded Duke, now led by State's former coach.
Joanne P. McCallie left East Lansing for Durham in 2007, one month after signing a $500,000 contract extension. She actually tried to sell it as a good thing for women's basketball, because the fact that one school would pay out big bucks to pinch a coach from another program means that the ladies' game has finally arrived. Yay, headhunting! Just like the men! I think the fact that a coach who took a team to its only Final Four appearance was booed on her return to campus probably says something too.
So yes, it's totally unfair that a No. 9 seed got to play two postseason games at home, but honestly ... no one cares. Spartan fans will take it.

StreetScooter: One of Germany's Most Popular Electric Vehicles
Published: 12-Dec-2017
DHL may employ fewer personnel than either FedEx or UPS, but they also generate more revenue than either. A unit of Germany's national postal service - Deutsche Post - they have the financial wherewithal to not only experiment and implement innovative delivery solutions like parcel trikes and mail delivery bikes, they can also afford to develop, manufacture and deploy thousands of electric vans based on the Streetscooter concept first debuted in 2011.
That same year, DHL ordered 3500 of them with the intent to adapt them to mail and parcel delivery. In 2014, DHL acquired Streetscooter and by 2016 it had 2000 of the sedans-now-vans plying the streets of Germany. The company plans to eventually replace all its 45,000 ICE-age vehicles with EVs like Streetscooter, which has a DHL certified range of 80km (50 mi.) on its 20kWh battery pack: NEDC tests rates it at 118km (73 mi). Top speed is 85km/h (52 mph). Fully loaded, it weighs 2,130 kg (4636 lbs) with a cargo capacity of 650 kg (1433 lbs).
Streetscooter is available as a bare chassis, a 'work pickup,' and a 'work box' as seen in the top image. Pricing starts at just over 38,000 € ($44,866) with a 4000 € "promotional premium" discount. According to reports, the company sold over 900 of them in October, and more than 3,600 so far this year, making it the 11th most popular EV sold in Europe.

Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 26 : Kamal Haasan's controversial film "Vishwaroopam" was Saturday screened here amid a police presence. It got support from the youth wings of the CPI-M and BJP here, though a section of Muslims protested the screening.
Activists belonging to the Popular Front of India - PFI (a confederation of Muslim organisations) arrived at the Kairali theatre, demanding the film not be screened and alleged the film depicts the community in a bad light.
A strong police presence foiled their attempt and the film was screened. The film is currently banned in Tamil Nadu.
Activists of the Democratic Youth Front of India (the youth wing of the Communist Party of India-Marxist) and Yuva Morcha (the youth wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party) also arrived at the theatre and said they would give all protection to those who come to see the film.
The film was released Friday at 86 of the 92 screening centres and at few places it was stopped due to protests. At Kollam, the film has been suspended for two days.
However, state Cinema Minister K. B. Ganesh Kumar said protection will be given to theatres where the film is being screened.
"It's unfortunate that the screening is being disrupted," said Kumar, an actor himself.
"Vishwaroopam", written, directed and produced by Haasan, deals with the adversities of war.
The Tamil and Telugu versions of the film were scheduled to release Friday, but the Tamil Nadu government Wednesday imposed curbs on it screening following protests from Muslim groups. Certain Muslim organisations protested saying the movie portrays the community in bad light. (IANS)

My sister has (or, I hope she still has) a very old windoze laptop that had no virus protection and got killed by viruses.
After playing with Ubuntu on my own machine (and running very well I might add) I wander if it is possable to boot her old laptop up on Ubuntu from a pen-drive (like I did with my machine at the start) and get the photoes of it?
The laptop died about 10 years ago, and was an old laptop then. I don't see this being a big issue. I may not be able to boot the thing of a pen-drive, I may have to make bootable disk. I think I can do that.
Would I have to "clean" the photoes once I get them off so they won't harm another windoze machine?
Am I going about this the right way?
Seems like a simlpe solution (now that I know I can use Linux) to me.
What have I missed?

Bacteria can be genetically tricked into self-destructing
Scientists manipulate E. coli's defenses
Making bacteria's defenses attack themselves may lead to antibiotics that can destroy bad microbes without harming good ones. One potential smart antibiotic killed a strain of E. coli while leaving untouched a strain that has DNA 99 percent identical to the affected strain's, researchers at North Carolina State University in Raleigh report January 28 in mBio.
Bacteria defend themselves against virus attacks using a primitive immune system known as the CRISPR-Cas system. CRISPRs are short pieces of RNA that serve as "wanted" posters, helping bacteria recognize dangerous viruses. Enzymes known as Cas proteins then dismember the virus's genetic material.
Chase Beisel and colleagues engineered CRISPRs so that they called attention to the DNA of a particular strain of E. coli, instead of viral DNA. In lab dishes growing that strain of E. coli and a close relative, the researchers wiped out nearly all of the targeted strain.
A.A. Gomaa et al. Programmable removal of bacterial strains by use of genome-targeting CRISPR-Cas systems. mBio. Vol. 5, January 28, 2014, p. e00928-13. doi: 10.1128/mBio.00928-13.

£16,000 for a 28-day "digital detox" program?!
That's ridiculous! But in a world where toddlers are being zombified with smartphones and tablets, who's to say what's ridiculous and what isn't anymore…
Anyway, here's a alternative treatment plan.
1) Get candles, flashlights and books ready. If you normally cook with electricity, get a propane stove.
2) Flip that big, double or triple sized house fuse on your breaker panel to the OFF position.
3) When the sun goes down, use your candles and flashlights to help with getting the children fed/bathed/ready for bed.
4) Read them stories until they're ready to fall asleep.
5) Once the children are asleep, turn the power back on.
Via: Telegraph:
Children as young as four are becoming so addicted to smartphones and iPads that they require psychological treatment.
Dr Graham said that young technology addicts experienced the same withdrawal symptoms as alcoholics or heroin addicts, when the devices were taken away.
He warned that the condition prevented young people from forming normal social relationships, leaving them drained by the constant interaction.
Parents who have found themselves unable to wean their children off computer games and mobile phones are paying up to £16,000 for a 28-day "digital detox" programme designed by Dr Graham at the Capio Nightingale clinic in London.

CC2035: Announcing the West Quadrant Reader and Survey!
The West Quadrant Reader, a short newspaper-like document outlining issues, opportunities and ideas for Portland's West Quadrant, is now available in tabloid-size print or on the web — along with an online survey. The WQP Reader is part of the first phase of the West Quadrant planning process. It's a starting point for the public conversation about the West Quadrant and will help people provide feedback via the online survey. It will also guide the Stakeholder Advisory Committee discussions in their first few meetings.
You can share your ideas and preferences for the West Quadrant areas, including the Pearl District, Old Town/Chinatown, Goose Hollow, the West End, Downtown, South Downtown and South Waterfront by filling out the West Quadrant Issues and Opportunities Survey, available online through May 10, 2013. The survey seeks community input on topics such as housing, transportation and neighborhood services. Your responses will help the West Quadrant team outline directions for the West Quadrant Plan.
For print copies of the West Quadrant Reader — or to schedule a presentation about the project to your community groups — please contact Elisa Hamblin at (503) 823-9714 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

For many videographers, as well as professional and prosumer video producers in various other walks of life, 2005 was the Year of HDV. What started as a "niche" or "bridge" technology, and seemed as late as mid-2004 to be mostly unfulfilled hype, charged into the mainstream in early 2005 with the success of Sony's $3,500 HDR-FX1. The FX1 didn't have everything an event shooter could want in a primary camera—particularly in the audio department—but it proved a reputable three-chipper with a price tag that made HD acquisition a realistic option for videographers who couldn't have even considered it before. And some of its feature-set deficiencies were quickly addressed by Sony's pro model, the HVR-Z1U, an even more capable camera that will soon be (or has recently begun) competing with comparably priced offerings from JVC, Panasonic, and Canon.
Of course, not every videographer adopted HDV this year—not by a long shot. And many of those who did found themselves in for a bumpy ride. Ingesting and editing HDV on today's Macs and PCs and in popular editing environments isn't as smooth as you might imagine, as Jan Ozer's September article, Battle of the Software NLEs, Part 2: Editing HDV, attested. Avid didn't even debut HDV support in Xpress Pro until October, although when it did, it came through with the same sort of fluid, multiple-formats-in-the-same-timeline support that Xpress Pro's new stablemate, Liquid Edition, has been offering since January. And even though Apple offered solid HDV support in Final Cut Pro 5—unveiled at NAB 2005—and a wonderfully implemented multicam feature, FCP remained rigid on format-mixing. Since few event shooters who number among HDV's early adopters went out and replaced their entire camera arsenal with a three-pack of FX1s or Z1Us, this was surely disappointing. Nearly all videographers doing both HDV and multicamera shoots found themselves struggling to commingle the footage in a multi-format-phobic NLE.
HDV also made inroads in the digital disk recorder (DDR) world this year with the mid-year upgrade to FOCUS Enhancements' FireStore FS-4—a compact, cost-effective, and time-efficient direct-to-edit, tapeless storage wonder that's one of the standout products of this or any year in event video production. In the January 2006 installment of Gear & Now, Lee Rickwood will offer up a closer examination of another wave of HDV-centric production essentials with a look at lenses and filters designed specifically for HDV cameras from the current crop of HDV camcorder manufacturers.
But there was much more to 2005 than HDV. We saw scads of exciting products released that had nothing to do with HDV and of course, event and corporate videographers the world over continuing to do dazzling, innovative, and effective everyday work with or without HDV. Our readers spoke their piece in April with the Reader's Choice Awards that picked favorites in 18 categories, and will do so again when the polls open in January for the 2006 EventDV Reader's Choice Awards (watch for an official announcement in the next issue). In the meantime, to provide readers with a highly subjective "Year in Review" report, we asked EventDV's many esteemed and opinionated columnists and contributing editors to reflect on the new products they saw in 2005 and tell us what struck them as the most exciting, and the biggest boon to their own work. Here's what they came up with. No surprise, the first response that came in—from none other than HD Today columnist Anthony Burokas—heralded Sony's HDR-FX1 and HVR-Z1U as the products of the year for 2005.
Sony HDR-FX1 & HVR-Z1USony first shipped HDV in 2004, but I'll hazard a guess that most adopters waited a bit, maybe rented one a couple of times, tried someone else's, and then made their purchase in 2005. It is the reincarnation of the VX-1000, which revolutionized videography and introduced the world to a solid DV performer. Sony's FX1 and Z1U are here. They are solid. They perform.
This is in direct contrast to the other low-cost HD solutions that were poor performers, aren't yet shipping, are in limited supply, or try to reinvent the production workflow. Sony's camcorders use the same exact Infolithium-L batteries introduced a decade ago for the VX-1000. They use the same tape. They use FireWire. The lens is still limited to 10x, which is a shame, but it's proved to be adequate for a decade, and still gets the job done. I highlighted my personal peeves with these camcorders in the November HD Today, but that doesn't discount the fact that Sony's cameras are solid machines. In our business, we buy stuff that works and works and works. Sony's prosumer HDV cameras work. —Anthony Burokas
Media 100 swMedia 100 sw is my pick for Best New Product in 2005. Since 1996 I have been a loyal user of Media 100 for its intuitive interface, ease of use, and highest quality in a nonlinear editing system. This software-only version of Media 100 HD released in 2005 is a companion to other Media 100 i or Media 100 HD systems using media captured by them to edit, composite, mix, and export to DVD or Web. While it currently does not capture or output to tape, all other functionality of Media 100 HD is included. This means existing Media 100 users can add an affordable software-only NLE to their current workflow (priced at $395). A future version will add support for FireWire capture and output from a range of DV and HDV decks. This is the most intuitive and easy-to-learn interface of any professional nonlinear editor now available. You won't need to attend a three-day course to learn this software. You will be up and editing projects the same day you buy it.--Jenny Lehman
NewTek TriCaster & Grizzly ProI was lucky enough to scan the horizon for new products this year at NAB and a few really caught my eye. One worth mentioning is the NewTek TriCaster, which combines a live video-production suite and a powerful encoder in a single portable package. I've played with one, seen numerous demos, and have found it an impressive and reasonably priced box (roughly $5,000). Unfortunately, my business plan doesn't allow me to buy one . . . yet.
The other product that I strongly recommend—and that I did purchase—is the Grizzly Pro r-Three remote control camera system. Not only does it allow the control of up to three cameras from a single control, but a new plug-in allows you to switch those three cameras with either a cut or dissolve. All this via one CAT-5 cable to each camera . . . with distances up to 600 feet! For event video, this could be just the thing to up your productions from a single camera to multicam and increase your income. You'll start to see return on your investment in as little as two or three productions. Grizzly Pro r-Three is priced from $995 for a single-camera starter system to $2,850 for a three-camera system with the live-switch option. —Ed Wardyga
Photo-Quality Inkjet-Printable DVDsFor turning out eye-catching photographs with an inkjet printer, it's obviously essential to use photo-quality paper. It's the same when labeling DVDs. Printing to most inkjet-compatible discs is about the same as printing to plain paper, and this is a shortcoming of DVD printing products that has hamstrung small-studio DVD producers for years. But a new generation of premium "photo quality" disc surfaces now produces stunning results unrivaled by any direct-labeling technology. The potential for these new discs in professional event video and other image-conscious circles is considerable to say the least. However, for reasons beyond me, media manufacturers are slow on the uptake in terms of bringing the discs to market. Thus far, these discs are, regrettably, a well-kept secret and hard to come by. Hopefully, this will change in the coming months as word gets out and other producers come online. Currently, only TDK's PrintOn DVD Photo Quality discs are available in North America, but Maxell and "a href="http://www.primera.com"target="new">Primera Technology expect to get in the game soon. —Hugh Bennett
Premiere Pro 1.5, Power Spec Pentium 4, iRiver 895Early in the year, I updated my NLE system by purchasing Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 and a Power Spec Pentium IV PC with DVD burning capability. This has reduced my editing time tremendously! One of the least expensive updates I've done is replaced my MiniDisc recorders with the iRivers. I bought the 895 model ($99 on sale) which I use on the officiant and/or near the music (I still prefer wireless microphones on the groom and podium so I can monitor the audio). I can quickly upload the audio into the computer from the iRiver (loading the MiniDiscs was done real-time via the analog connection). While I did have a few problems with the iRivers in the beginning (the manual is of no help), I think I finally have the correct settings. I also purchased the Panasonic three-chip PV-GS150 camcorder for home use, but figure it can be used at weddings as a discreet altar-cam, for one example. It easily fits into a small purse and can take 2.3 mega-pixel pictures as well (though I prefer my Samsung 7.0 MP digital camera for photos). I now use my old single-chip camcorder as a wedding day add-on. I have an option that allows someone in the bridal party to use the camcorder to shoot footage inside the limo and/or at the photo shoot, and I edit it to a song. It's great when you can make additional revenue from an older piece of equipment. --Kris Malandruccolo
Apple Mac miniAs someone who has edited everything from broadcast TV to weddings to commercials on a regular basis for more than a decade, I've used many different systems, from 3/4" to Beta to nonlinear. My latest upgrade was from a dual G4 tower with five internal hard drives to something quieter, smaller, cooler, and cheaper: the Mac mini. While it may not be the perfect solution for everyone, this little wonder is faster than the machine it replaced, came with a litany of software pre-installed (iLife 05, iWork, OS X.4), and has been rock-solid from day one. With my multitasking nature, having a couple of little machines works better for me than having one Dual-G5 tower, so I can render a DVD on one machine and edit video on a second machine without any performance hit at all. Now, if someone would come out with NAS I could use with two Mac mini computers, I'd be set! —Anthony Burokas
GraVT Momentum Series RT.X100 Xtreme Pro WorkstationWithout question, my pick for the best new product in 2005 is the GraVT Momentum Series RT.X100 Xtreme Pro Workstation that I got from the DV Shop in Norcross, Georgia. I've had it only a short time, but it's already making my work easier and faster—and better. It came loaded with the Matrox RTX100 Extreme Pro Suite, which includes Premiere Pro, Encore DVD, Audition, and After Effects. Tony Hale and the team at the DVShop have been great to work with. They put together a complete digital video production environment for me that's made it easy to realize my most creative ideas. The GraVT workstation has been a dream machine so far, surpassing all my expectations. I'd recommend this system—and this team—to anyone who's serious about their craft and anyone who's interested in seeing their creations come to life. —Ken Ehrhart
iRiver 700 & 800, m-Audio MicroTrack 24/96There were an awful lot of good products and product upgrades for us event videographers this year. But for my money, the winner is the iRiver MP3 player. Although intended for the consumer music market, this device was a big hit with event videographers because of its hidden ability to accept an input from a lavaliere microphone. At a street price of around $100, it became a cheap alternative to $500 wireless microphones and $200 MiniDisc recorders. Unfortunately, iRiver is replacing the 700 and 800 series models with newer units which don't have the external microphone feature. The next device in line to take the crown from the iRiver is the M-Audio Microtrack 24/96. It's easier to use and has more professional features than the iRiver—but comes with a $500 price tag. My advice is to buy a few iRivers while you still can. It's the cheapest backup audio capture solution available to the event videographer. —Doug Graham
LitePanels 1'x1' & RingLiteSince their introduction, LitePanels lighting systems have received a number of honors and awards—including the 2005 Emmy Engineering Plaque—and with good reason. Valued in TV series, feature films, documentary work, and DV production, LitePanel Minis use high-output LEDs to produce a wonderfully soft, even, and bright light. They can be easily mounted on a camera, stand, or other support. To the original Mini has been added a Spot Mini, with a tighter and longer throw. There's the clever Infrared unit, handy in low- or next-to-no light situations. There's also the LitePanels 1'x1', which can be stacked or chained together to meet various lighting requirements. Then there's the RingLite, which literally rings a camera lens with LEDs, putting out a nice soft light. Even better, the RingLite has three separate circuits, so you can use all or part of its output. Some people put different gels on each circuit, a neat way to add creativity and increase control. LitePanels can be used with A/C or battery power (the Ring draws only 7.2 amps at 12 V DC). They feature an integrated dimmer, which from 0 to 100% output shows very little color shift. —Lee Rickwood
DVD Studio Pro 4: Render Farms for the Masses!Reflecting back on 2005, I have been impressed by a handful of new technology that subsequently has made my Top 10 list for 2005. My #1 pick for 2005 is a small added feature to a top-notch application, Apple's DVD Studio Pro 4. It's not the new HD features, better interface, or newer encoder—although these are all enticing. DVD Studio Pro 4 is my #1 choice for 2005 because of the new "distributed encoding" within is compressor. Unlike before, it is now possible for anyone to group a bunch of Macs together and render faster than previously thought possible with off-the-shelf software. This may not be significant to a person who only owns and utilizes one Mac at a time, but for those small-to-medium post houses with a handful of Macs at their disposal, it means they now can render like much bigger outfits. Up until now, render farming—also known as cluster-node encoding—was a very sophisticated process. It usually required a dedicated IT person just to maintain the framework. Now with Apple's "distributed encoding," anyone can create clusters of computers to render blazing-fast encoding. Since the bulk of our productions are finished for MPEG-2 distribution (DVDs and MPEG servers) this one feature can reduce postproduction time by a third! —Todd Gillespie [Note: In an early-2006 issue of EventDV, we'll look at the leading network rendering option for Windows-based NLE users, which changes the stakes in a similar way on the PC side: Sony's Vegas 6.—Ed.]
Final Cut Studio/Final Cut Pro 5Apple's marketing machine always amazes me. I regularly help judge a few of those post-convention magazine awards (you know, pick the best products that appeared at a given trade show), and without fail, Apple's newest release is right there in the mix—whatever it is. Sometimes the consideration is absolutely valid, but sometimes it's like you can't see the mirrors through the smoke. This year I think Apple's Final Cut Studio was one of the most overrated announcements at NAB, an effective me-too to similar "Studio/Suite" combos from Adobe, Avid, and Canopus, with mostly modest upgrades and a long-overdue audio editing application. But here's the thing: while I still believe in more traditional postproduction workflows, Apple's Final Cut Studio—particularly the multicam editing feature and that long-overdue Soundtrack Pro audio editor—is ideal for event editing. Oh sure, there's a whole lot of superfluous eye candy amid the smoke and mirrors, but also some hot advances that mean burning less of your time. —Jeff Sauer

SIDEBAR: Blu-ray vs. HD DVD--Worst of 2005?When I contacted our contributing editors and columnists about this special "Best of 2005" report, I also suggested that if they had a strong—and legitimate—candidate for Worst of 2005, our readers might want to hear about that too. Here's what Anthony Burokas had to say on that score: In what has to be worse than the VHS and Beta war of the early 1980s, this new format war is being waged behind closed doors around the world. We are constantly teased with announcements, or decks appearing at technology shows. But after several years of promises and promotions, there is still no interactive, DVD-like solution for us to deliver our HDV or HD in its native resolution on a viable, consumer optical media format. I'd rather have two competing formats on the market, so we can deliver HDV now, than sit here waiting like this. In 2004, Hewlett-Packard announced that their desktop machines would have Blu-ray drives installed in them. In January 2005, Steve Jobs had the president of Sony on Apple's stage at Macworld to talk about the "Year of HD" and how he looked forward to including Blu-ray burners in Apple computers. So where are they? Like a large explosion from a very distant war, we catch glimpses of various alliance movements with a press release, but after years of announcements, there is still nothing available for us to use. A few players have popped up that deliver HDTV using DivX or Windows Media files. But the lack of professional authoring tools and very limited availability hamper the usefulness of these solutions. So 2005 may have been the year of HDV, but unless you're delivering a broadcast TV show, there is still no DVD-like solution for us to deliver our HDV. —Anthony Burokas

Cool. I know there's a lot of posts on PTSD but I couldn't find a definitive thread on the subject like, for instance, the Recruiting Process has. With regards to the soldier's home units, I thought that maybe the internet would be a better place seeing as it is anonymous and from what I have read, some soldiers don't seek help because they don't want to seem weak. I 100% agree with what you are saying and it is clear you know more about this than me, but I just thought I would put it out there.
This is pretty cool actually. Thanks guys for doing this.

text: TV / VideoCBS Pumps Up Its Fall Comedy LineupNet schedules four new sitcoms and bulks up Thursday night chuckle blockBy Anthony Crupi|May 15, 2013 ShareBy Anthony Crupi|May 15, 2013 Share When you return as many franchise series as CBS did this year, you don't change the schedule so much as shift the tiles around like a giant Rubik's Cube. The top-rated broadcast network today announced a few major shifts in the structure of its prime-time lineup, slotting two new comedies and a drama on Monday nights and expanding its Thursday night sitcom block to a full two hours. Leading out of How I Met Your Mother in the Monday 8:30 p.m. slot, the Rob Greenberg (Frasier, HIMYM) comedy We Are Men stars Tony Shalhoub, Kal Penn and Jerry O'Connell as a trio of divorced bros who live in the same apartment complex. At 9:30 p.m., Chuck Lorre's Mom features Allison Janney and Anna Faris as an estranged mother-daughter battery. Bumping Hawaii Five-O from the 10 p.m. slot is the new drama Hostages. Produced by Jeff Nachmanoff (Homeland) and Jerry Bruckheimer, the taut thriller stars Toni Collette as a surgeon who, along with her family, is being held captive by a rogue federale (Dylan McDermott). The twist? The FBI agent will free the lot of them if Collette's character agrees to kill the president. Person of Interest begins its third season in the Tuesday 10 p.m. slot once occupied by the canceled Vegas and Golden Boy, while Wednesday remains untouched. On Thursday nights, The Big Bang Theory and Two and a Half Men will bookend the newcomers The Millers and The Crazy Ones, while sophomore hit Elementary holds onto its legacy slot at 10 p.m. The Millers, from Greg Garcia, features the talents of Will Arnett and Margo Martindale (The Americans, Justified), while The Crazy Ones marks Robin Williams' return to series television for the first time since Mork and Mindy said "Nanu-Nanu" for the last time in 1982. Sarah Michelle Gellar plays Williams' ad executive daughter. Midseason entries include the dramas Intelligence (Josh Holloway) and Reckless (Anna Wood), as well as the new comedy Friends With Better Lives. Mike & Molly returns for its fourth season at a later date. CBS will walk buyers through its entire 2013-14 schedule this afternoon at Carnegie Hall. The fall campaign is spelled out below; new shows are in bold. MONDAY 8-8:30 p.m. — How I Met Your Mother 8:30-9 p.m. — We Are Men 9-9:30 p.m. — Two Broke Girls 9:30 p.m. — Mom 10-11 p.m. — Hostages TUESDAY 8-9 p.m. — NCIS 9-10 p.m. — NCIS: Los Angeles 10-11 p.m. — Person of Interest WEDNESDAY 8-9 p.m. — Survivor 9-10 p.m. — Criminal Minds 10-11 p.m. — CSI THURSDAY 8-8:30 p.m. — The Big Bang Theory 8:30-9 p.m. — The Millers 9-9:30 p.m. — The Crazy Ones 9:30-10 p.m. — Two and a Half Men 10-11 p.m. — Elementary FRIDAY 8-9 p.m. — Undercover Boss 9-10 p.m. — Hawaii Five-O 10-11 p.m. — Blue Bloods SATURDAY 8-8:30 p.m. — Comedytime Saturday 8:30-9 p.m. — Comedytime Saturday 9-10 p.m. — Crimetime Saturday 10-11 p.m. — 48 Hours SUNDAY 7-8 p.m. — 60 Minutes 8-9 p.m. — The Amazing Race 9-10 p.m. — The Good Wife 10-11 p.m. — The Mentalist MIDSEASON (Slots TBA): Intelligence, Reckless, Friends With Better Lives, Mike & Molly Sharehttp://adweek.it/101MsBX copy Adweek Adweek

From Nov 7th 2011 until very recently, I've been eating for three {or 14 weeks for four}. At first, that meant pouring through mom of multiples books for sample eating charts, foods recommendations & recipes to try to reach the goal of 3000 {then 2700} calories a day. I was told to add all the protein & fat I could because I was growing multiple babies {who'd most likely be preemies} & needed all they could get before they arrived. I switched to higher fat milk & subbed extra real butter on everything. Gone were any low calorie yogurt, cheese, cream cheese, breads, crackers, etc.
Then Z & L were born & my hard work eating all.the.things paid off as they were huge in comparison to their other NICU residents.
And boom. I was told by NICU LCs & MoM breastfeeding books to up my calories & fat again after L & Z were born to keep up my milk supply. So I was once again eating everything I could plus sticking with my ice cream before bed routine. In about 9 months after they were born, I'd lost the 50 lbs I'd gained pregnant plus 20-25 more. I was wearing clothes I hadn't dreamed I'd ever fit into again while eating whatever I wanted {pretty cool, right?! Breastfeeding FTW}.
Then even when L & Z started eating solids as their main nutritional source & we started cutting nursing sessions, I kept up my big breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner & dessert routine. It's what I knew & what my stomach was telling me I was hungry for. I was busy & tired & usually somewhat overwhelmed by life & just doing what I could.
Cue 19 months post-partum. Today. I'm still nursing L before bed & Z during 1-2 dream feeds a night. Yes my 19, almost 20, month old son doesn't STTN {& nor do I} but that's a whole other post. I'm still trying to drink a lot of water {although thankfully not the 100 oz I was doing while pregnant & EBFing} & maintain calories of hopefully healthy food to pass through in my milk. But honestly, my eating is kinda of a joke some days. My constant {especially strong post-nursing} sweet tooth & the holidays didn't help.
I've gained back 15-20 of those pounds I'd lost. My post-multiples lower belly is a mess of chub & stretch marks & my boobs will never be where they once were. I do have kick ass arm muscles for someone my size thanks to carrying 50+ lbs of toddlers multiple times a day though. Multi-mom bonus!
I'm okay with my body shifting. Hello, I grew babIES! And at some point, I'll find time from somewhere to work out & see about tightening up those stomach muscles. But my priority now is relearning how to eat. This might sound crazy, to some, but it's been 26 months since I was eating for just me & I've kinda forgotten normal portions!
It doesn't help that I'm on my own with getting all three of us up & out the door in the mornings. My prior life breakfast routine of leisurely eating cereal isn't an option as I'd have L & Z going after my spoon or food while I run around the house. This past weekend, we hit up Trader Joe's for some quick & healthy week night meals {L & Z like to eat by 6p which makes recipes with a lot of effort or cooking time a non-option} as well as their organic milk & yogurt & breakfast items for me. So I'm going to admit that instead of my usual two bagels with cream cheese when I get to work at 830, yesterday am, I ate a whole wheat bagel with cream cheese at home. While I peed. & L & Z dumped out their sock drawer. Because that's the 5 2 mins I had to eat.
I bring my lunch to work most days & have started to pack less. And I'm cutting out my mid-afternoon snack since we usually eat dinner early.
Dinner is tough because, like I said above, it has to be made quick & I still want high calorie foods to bulk up L & especially Z. I'm not a short order cook & I want us all eating the same thing.
And I'm not ready to give up my beloved dessert forever but have cut it out some nights this week. I'm motivated. But not that motivated. 😛
So, long long long story short, I'd love to hear how, post-baby{s}, you got back to normal or the new normal.

Continuing its efforts for a "green" campus, Penn State New Kensington will sponsor a week of sustainable activities, April 9-13, to highlight reusable materials and campus' ecological footprints.
"Sustainability Week" features daily activities during common hour --noon-1 p.m., Monday, Wednesday and Friday; and 1:45 to 3 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday -- including "Recycled Arts and Crafts," creating projects out of the reusable items, and "Ecological Footprint Tests," that estimate see how much of the world's resources a person uses.
"The week is going to provide some excellent ecological awareness," said Lauren Blum, student life coordinator. "It is an opportunity for the campus community to make different fun crafts from everyday items that would typically be thrown away. Participants can complete their projects in one day or they can take all week and return each day to work on and finish the crafts"
In addition to the two daily activities, a campus-wide clean-up is scheduled for Wednesday, April 11. Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to walk around campus and adjacent roads to clean up any discarded items. "Campus Clean-Up Day" is sponsored by the Student Government Association and Office of Student Life. The Campus Activities Board will dish out free ice cream in Café 780 during Wednesday's common hour.
"Sustainability Week" is a part of Penn State New Kensington's ongoing sustainability initiatives. The campus has becomes more environmentally friendly during the past three years by installing water bottle refilling stations and implementing single stream recycling. Complementing the traditional drinking fountains, the hydration stations are attached to the back of regular units. When a water bottle is placed under the dispenser, an electronic sensor detects the bottle and chilled, filtered water fills the containers. The stations have decreased the use of plastic bottles, and alleviate the amount of trash that winds up in landfills. Single stream recycling allows end-users to discard plastics, paper, and cans into one container.
Penn State has been the leader in sustainability initiatives among colleges and universities. The Campus Sustainability Office, established in 2008, promotes and ensures environmentally-safe activity at Penn State. Its initiatives protect and enhance the financial, human, and ecological resources of the University, and the planet.
For more sustainability activities contact Blum at 724-334-6063 or email@example.com via email.

Casper Smart – Jennifer Lopez's Boy Toy, Hunk of the Day [PICTURES]
Media outlets have been buzzing lately and they all say Jennifer Lopez has found a new boyfriend, Casper Smart… who is one of her back-up dancers! Crazy, we know, but the two were spotted dancing and partying together in Las Vegas, and a source for US Weekly confirms the relationship.
Lopez was probably attracted to Casper Smart because, according to the source, his shirtless antics make him "popular with the ladies." Well, clearly! What hot guy who takes his top off isn't? The pop star has the right idea, though. Dancers are indeed a fun crowd to hang out with, and it looks like, according to US, the relationship is "nothing serious."
Way to go, J Lo! Use him, abuse him, lose him.

Caregiving From a Distance: Finding Local Resources
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I have a relative in another city that is coping with chemo treatments and having a very hard time. We can't be there to support her but want to somehow help her maintain her nutrition or her home. Are there food delivery services, cleaning services or other helpful support options available? We can pay for some but would like to point her to anything that she can get for low or no cost.
Christina Bach, MSW, LCSW, Social Worker at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
This is a great time to put your internet search skills to the test. Utilize your favorite search engine (I use google) to search for delivery services, cleaning agencies and support groups/services that are available.
Utilize web based lists like craigslist to find cleaning services, pet care suppliers, etc in other cities.
There are some other cancer service organizations that provide homemaker grants and home delivered meals---but these are almost always based in local markets. Contact the American Cancer Society (1-800-ACS-2345), the local Wellness Community branch, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society or Cancer Care. These agencies can be great jumping off points to find local service agencies or even individuals who want to volunteer and "give back."
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat Series. See the entire transcript: Surviving & Thriving During the Holidays Webchat.
