When visiting your local farmers' market, you're not only picking up deliciously seasonal produce, you're also bringing home a wide array of antioxidants that can help protect your body. Here are 10 foods that should be on your shopping list.
The Power of Antioxidants
Antioxidants can be found as vitamins, minerals or phytochemicals (special plant compounds). They help repair cell damage caused by free radicals, which can mess with your immune system. Some researchers also believe that free-radical damage may be involved in promoting chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer.
If you're thinking about picking up an "antioxidant-rich" supplement—don't be fooled. Each fruit and veggie has their own unique combination of various antioxidants—you won't find any of these specialized combos isolated in a pill. Your best bet is to eat a variety of seasonal produce so you can reap all the benefits.
#1: Tomatoes
Tomatoes are brimming with the antioxidant lycopene which is more potent in cooked tomatoes. To get the most lycopene out of your fresh tomatoes, turn them into gazpacho, tomato sauce or jam.
Antixoidants: Vitamin A, vitamin C, lycopene
#2: Berries

Restaurant patterned after downtown diner, which originally opened in 1934, will throw open the doors to new customers on Bee Ridge Road in July
The partners behind Gecko's Grill & Pubs are resurrecting a local drive-in and diner that was once an enormously popular hangout in Southwest Florida.
S'macks Burgers & Shakes is scheduled to open in July at Bee Ridge Road and Shade Avenue, with 2,500 square feet of indoor and outdoor seating.
The new Gecko's Hospitality Group restaurant will not have waitresses on roller skates -- "curb girls" back in the day -- as the first incarnation did, but it will offer classic menu items such as frozen custard shakes, burgers, hand-cut fries, S'macks hot dogs and more.
The restaurant will in many ways mimic the original restaurant, called Smack, which opened at Main Street and Pine Place in 1934. Three years later, it moved to Main Street and Osprey Avenue, now the site of a Suntrust Bank building.
"It will be really neat to share a part of Sarasota's rich historical past in this new restaurant concept," said Michael Quillen, a Gecko's managing partner.
Gecko's plans come as the simple hamburger is undergoing a culinary resurgence, despite medical evidence that consuming too much red meat can be harmful to health.
In 2011, for instance, fast-casual burger chains' sales grew by 21 percent, versus all limited-service burger chains, which had a sales increase of just 3.7 percent, according to Technomic, a Chicago-based food consultant and research firm.
One chain, Smashburger, saw its sales spike by more than 71 percent in 2011, while sales at the popular Five Guys Burgers and Fries franchise rose by 24 percent that year.
Technomic adds that "raising the quality of the protein, bun, toppings and sides has been a winning formula," company executive vice president Darren Tristano said.
Gecko's agrees.
"Burgers are really hot right now," Quillen said. "If you look at chains like Shake Shack and Smashburger, the quick-casual dining scene is a really popular trend."
To research the concept, partners Quillen and Michael Gowen spent time interviewing the wife of Smack creator and owner W.L. "Mack" McDonald, who is now 95 years old and still living in Sarasota.
McDonald named the diner after a combination of his nickname and the first name of his best friend, Sam. Gecko's is putting the apostrophe in to make the monicker their own.
The restaurant was one of the most recognizable businesses in Sarasota during a post-World War II period that saw the city featured in motion pictures and in newspapers nationwide during Major League Baseball's spring training.
"If you've ever seen the movie 'American Graffiti,' it looked just like that," said Sarasota historian and writer Jeff LaHurd, who moved to Sarasota in 1950. "It was a place that anyone who lived here during that time would remember fondly."
LaHurd said the restaurant was a hot spot for locals and tourists alike, and was known for having "beautiful girls who took customer orders curbside."
It was also a popular hangout for teenagers and one of the first places new drivers went after getting their licenses.
In its heydey in the mid- '50s, the restaurant served 16 sandwiches -- including a giant "Smackburger" for 85 cents -- and sold more Borden's ice cream than any other store in Florida.
By the time McDonald sold the place in 1957 -- for a profit of more than $285,000, according to LaHurd's book, "Quintessential Sarasota" -- Smack had 93 employees.
The restaurant closed two years later.

At Hyeres 2008……Hyeres Homme, South of France
CommentsClose comment
117 comments
I like the idea of adding a casual element to the simple but sophisticated pairing of the button up, sweater, and blazer. However, putting track pants over khakis strikes me as odd, impractical, and uncomfortable.
Love the top half of the picture, and the warm light on his face.
WOW Sart! These Hyeres shots are so refreshing, so wonderful. It feels asif your work was getting a new dimension. This one is almost epic and the yesterday's one bellow… I'm fascinated with it!
Ooohh I love this! I like the track-suit pants (? were they that?) coupled with the vest + shirt. And I love the look of his face, all together there's a really unique style that oozes from this guy!
I absolutely love this. There are so many juxtaposed styles going on here that somehow it just works beautifully. I'd love to know what kind of shoes he was wearing.
Adidas Pants pulled over chinos?
That´s new to me. Looks like he´s making a joke out of it because just with the chinos ( or whatever trousers they are) his outfit would be complete, though normal.
I like the jumper´s sleeves coming out of the jacket…
Interesting person! Great colours,
the light in Hyeres is stunning!
ideal man
In the normal fasion world, wearing tracks pants over a pair of slacks would be considered as a horrible CRIME. But he somehow makes it work.
Damn you, John Nollet, with all your coolness…
SL x
Sometimes i think the excellent photography makes the outfit better than it is. This is one of those times
I can't tell whether the pants that man is wearing are jeans or adidas trackpants. The combination of the crisp white shirt is good though.
Me encanta!!! Un look imposible de llevar, sĂłlo una persona entre mil podrĂa hacerlo. Chapeau.
He's a handsome guy. The wild hair and beard look good on him. I like his look from the waist up, but he loses me from the waist down. I just don't like track pants with a blazer. And, wearing a belt with track pants? It strikes me as a bit silly.
Wowee! Who cares about the clothes, this man is gorgeous! Got a number for this one? :-)
Just a gorgeous homeless guy, right?
The track pants completely ruin this for me. They make him look half-mad.
that's hot!
What I love about this photo is that he is overall very masculine looking, but his eyes are so pretty.
Layered up for a walk on the windy beach! He looks amazingly like a teacher I had in France when I studied in Bordeaux: beautiful eyes.
i L.O.V.E the tracksuit pants on the jacket! My Mum would kill me if tried this though TBH
Is he just wearing the sweatpants over some khakis? either way the look is pleasing.
looks like magnum
Wow. This guy looks totally cool. Who is this person? He almost looks homeless, but no, the belt and the white shirt are too expensive looking. I think this outfit is absolutely brilliant. Love his hair with it, too. Reminds me of how fantastic brown and red are together.
it's John Nollet !!!
Hairdresser of Monica Bellucci and Vanessa Paradis
hmm. Never would have thought of pairing sweat pants with a jacket. But Heck! Why not?
Above the waist = Very nice!
Below the waist of the ill-fitting, too tight track pants = ??????
Jesus in Adidas pants!
This guy looks cool. Love the jogger bots!
Track pants over khakis? that is truly unique! the color is lovely on his face, he's so relaxed and real.
Love it. I wonder what shoes he matched with this.
Is he wearing sweat-pants on top of trousers? I'm confused.
It's John Nollet !
cool without the belt…. Or might he be wearing another pair of trousers underneath? Sweatpants are the next big thing, I guess.
love his look. he is gorgeous! but why is he wearing track pants over khakis?
I like the lengths of his sleeves, the way he managed to look relaxed / laid-back and causal wearing those sports pants. gee… love also his hair and beard, the causal breeze in his expressions :)
Who doesn't wanna look so relaxed in France?
Love the light too…
wow, track pants with what's going on on top…that is bold, and I'm digging it. The red is perfect. Of course I may be biased because I'm IN LOVE WITH HIM. His hair is driving me crazy, it's so beautiful.
Wow, how cool is that? A real man wearing real clothes. What's going on with those sweat pants?! He looks like un vrai gitano puro, doesn't he?
Oh my god! Who is he? I need to know.
i can see why he caught your attention. more than the fact that he's wearing track pants with a blazer, shirt, and long-sleeved sweater, those eyes could pierce through anyone who manages to hold a gaze with this man, even for just a second.
What? Am I in love with him? Sweat pants over slacks?
The light at Hyeres couldn't be better for your photography.
Fabulous! Love the mix of tailoring with casual. Who'd have thunk it?
Great photo, Sart. I love this gentleman's beard and long hair (and ponytail?). It's very terrorist chic, in a Che sort of way. The track suit trousers are the piece de resistance here. G-E-N-I-U-S! We definitely don't see enough men in track suits or sweats. More, please.
hyeres is where the style's at. insane combination of colors, i love it!
Such a handsome man!!! God I love France.
Don´t like the hair.
The trousers in despite of the wrong pockets are a plus, because of the colour and stripes, for the upper side – which is perfect.
The sea balances and brings mood.
13/14 in 20.
Love this combination of comfort and classic. So cool; like a runner's version of a tuxedo. My only question is – what is the belt for?
I enjoy this shot very much, mostly because of his eyes. Very epic photo.
Fabulous man – very stylish: there is nothing of the scruffy about this hirsute homme. I particularly like the sober white shirt, jacket and jumper against the burgundy trousers with the racing stripes.
how handsome!
i like that he mixes something somewhat dressy with casual track pants.
The background is breathtaking. Looking at the outfit from top to bottom, the colors all compliment each other well. The pieces collectively are interesting, especially the length of the sweater's sleeve and the track pants. I think the track pants worn over his chino's are quite cheeky as is the playfulness of his sweater sleeve.
wow what a great look. Love the wild-man hair, love the track pants. Talk about putting "sports" into sports jacket!!
Very Daniel Day-Lewis.
Just lovely!
Is he wearing those warm-up pants over a pair of khaki colored pants?
He's stunning from the waist up.
I love the red pants. They seem a bit rebellious and edgy. And then he has the basic white button down w/ a v neck sweater and jacket. I LOVE jackets with a casual outfit. And such a "pretty" man. Wow. That's sexy.
are those track pants?
I'm totally in love. Anyone who can pull off those work out pants with that gorgeous combo of clothes on top – what a guy. Who is he?
Very few could pull off a blazer with track pants. Extra marks for this homme.
You've got to be kidding me with those pants. Waist up, class. Waist down, youth soccer league? Run DMC? Royal Tennebaums? Who knows what he was thinking…
It looks like a great scene from an independent foreign film.
Not a fan of the track pant over his regular pant…kind of like trying a bit hard, in my opinion. Nothing wrong with creativity or pushing the boundaries, but it reminds me of the dozens of young men who wore super-short track shorts at last year's Austin City Limits festival…it was the trend of the weekend, for sure, but looking back it was really forced. Great jacket on this one, though. The cream undershirt is nice, too.
If Devendra Banhart were a fisherman or woodsmith in the 19th century crossed with French Nobility…
The hair is perfectly undone, and he looks just perfectly at ease next to the water. It's nice. Everything above the waist is fantastic, though I think those stripes may be detracting too much from this look. They remind me a bit of Wes Anderson's love for Addidas jumpsuits in Royal Tenenbaums…
hmm is he wearing sweatpants over pants? i can't tell. he's amazing anyway.. i love that red!
This man is a vision, the jumper casually covering his hand from within the smart jacket matched with the slouchy casual trouser, the dirty red with the dirty brown, just perfection
Wow, I think I must be a confirmed drama mama because I cannot wait to read the comments on this one.
That said, very fun and unexpected in a static print or magazine but I'm imagining this in person and in practice, and it makes me cringe a little. The colors and those stripes, however, coupled with the simple but perfect background, the lighting, that hair and that beard, and the way you've captured his eyes and his timeless expression — that saudade, like a mariner out at sea — just makes this photograph SING.
I'd like to see his shoes.
These photos from Hyeres have a quite remarkable, timeless quality – absolutely inspired all of them. So special in fact that I find I keep going back to them.
You are a great photographer – and you keep getting better!
your recent work looks more like portraiture than fashion photography. the clothes seem secondary.
What does he have on under the track pants? Looks like beige boxer shorts to me. What do you reckon?
Those pants are awesomely bizarre. He looks fantastic!
He also kind of looks like Keri Russell (with a beard).
that's a very attractive man in a very attractive outfit.
From waist up.
what a beautiful man.
young Daniel Day-Lewis could probably pull off anything..
This gentleman truly belong here on this site: he is the epitome of effortless style. What–or who's he wearing becomes completely irrelevant; it's how he's wearing it– the combination of classic with the irreverent. His sense of style is as golden as your sun-drenched portrait sir ;-)
BTW, I don't think he's wearing two pairs of pants: I think the belted part is sewn under the Adidas. It's a cheeky style that's been offered from Jean-Paul Gaultier, Martin Margiela, to Hedi Slimane. This gentleman's version just seems even more cool because it looks like he made it himself.
He's perfect.
What a truly wonderful change in how we perceive fashion vs. our real life clothes. To make "leisure wear" (including khakis and then one step further with the adidas track pants) work as Fashion is a joyous thing.
He is beautiful. Love his face. The outfit is sort of funny… but I like it.
i tried to like it.
scrolled up and down.
back and forth.
but finally exclaimed, Ugh, this does nothing for me!
above and below the sweater/blazer combo is way too dishevelled.
please no repeats on my streets.
p.s. love you, Sart. xoxo
You are getting your touch back on this one Sart! I have been getting worried about you of late… Fame trampling on your trigger finger a bit. This photo is keeping it real!
He has the eyes of a prophet.
This man is beautiful.
he's so sexy!
oh yes! this reminds me of my ex boyfriend who could wear sweatpants and worn out t-shirts and still look like god. i'm trying to ignore the fact that he is wearing another pair of something underneath. when i ignore that i love the look.
he is john nollet, hairdresser of catherine deneuve, marion cotillard, monica bellucci, vanessa paradis …
I love this look. John Nollet ?
I love this look. John Nollet ?
Clearly, people have not been paying attention to the 2007 Rugby World Cup which was hosted by France. One of the players who got a lot of media attention was a french player called Sebastien Chabal. He became a bit of an icon overnight, making the caveman-look the in thing again. You can sense his influence very clearly in the beard and hair of this man.
Trying googling "Chabal" or "Chabalmania". The following link will help understand what he is all about. For context, bear in mind that the New Zealand All Black remain the team that the rugby word fears in terms of skill and physical intensity.
A belt with track pants?
Why not!
I think he's wearing track pants over shorts, not full-length chinos. It was chilly on that beach and he's being sensible as well as stylish.
Those eyes. He can wear whatever he wants. Really, it's ok.
The outfit works for me. The pants match the hair and all this is in between keeps him from looking entirely homeless.
I have a new crush.
Oh my god, i m the 83..Nice to meet you Scott, on my blog you can see the photo of you and this mystĂ©rious beauty of the sea…I thought at first it was Sebastien Tellier thefrench singer :)Belinda From brussels
guerrilla-language teacher look is back? mix of kosovo-cheguevara-belfast, maybe becouse he look like daniel day lewis in "in the name of the father" too
I'm considering bigamy as I look at this gorgeous man
Does he have his track pants over a pair of khaki shorts? Good for him! I can imagine that earlier in the day, perhaps around lunch, he had a nice stroll on the beach in his khaki shorts, his long sweater and white shirt, but as evening wore on, he got asked to do something so last minute, he threw on his long pants over the shorts, added the jacket, just to make it special, so that he could continue to meet, or socialize with fabulous new people in Hyeres!
By the way, the word verification for this post is humobebg! Seems like it should mean something …
the hippie dude look is showing up in cool venues: HOT right now! and he is like one of the best examples of the power of the beard.
I Agree, who cares what this man is wearing!
This man has got to be a writer. And a successful one at that!
This is so Darjeeling Limited. I love it.
wow. what a beautiful man. i think i might be in love now.
Hubba hubba! Part elegance part pirate, he's beautiful.
Looks like he tumbled around in all of Wes Anderson's films- dove into Rushmore for a preppy yet artsy vest and suit, then took the track pants from The Royal Tenenbaums, then got spit out at the scene of The Life Aquatic.
its interesting to see your photos in the mediterranean light…what a stunning man! a powerful shot!
Belinda, I thought Sebastian Tellier too…a beautiful man if ever there was one.
he's spectacular. it seems as though he'd been more logically dressed and chucked on the casual pants to stay clean or whatever. either way, he looks good.
I like the track pants. Where I live, all homeless men wear them, and most of them actually look good/masculine etc.. like book characters. Track pants definitely add character to this person. It's like he stepped out of his condo by the sea to take a walk: he doesn't care.
I find all the comments really interesting as I also usually have a beard and dress this way on a regular basis–sweater and collared shirt with track pants or fleece pants. (However, this gentleman is missing the key element of having the dress shirt tails hanging out.) I think it looks horrible, but I like to wear stretchable pants while sitting in a classroom or in the library. I have had some negative comments but also attention from the attractive womens, so I am content.
Funny – he reminds of that guy from the Royal Tennenbaums, the son who is an ex-tennis champion, but then fails and goes to live on a boat for years and admits to falling in love with his step sister, played by Gwyneth Paltrow. Nice look though.
This is absolutely great. What about his shoes?
I love his top half but his bottom half is a bit TOO casual for my liking. If the track-pantish stripes were taken away, I think it would look A++.
And what a charming stare he has!
Now that is attractive. Both the man and the outfit.
i saw thi gorgeous man with monica bellucci in cannes……
He is John Nollet (as it has already been said).
He is a famous hair dresser who works with Vanessa Paradis, Marion Cotillard or Monica Bellucci for exemple.
He must have been the coldest (or hottest!) man in France that day to throw on all those layers.
Never would have thought I'd see the day that a blazer, sweater, white dress shirt, and khakis underneath Adidas polyesters would be thrown on together.
I vote no on him pulling it off, however. Only thing it did was coordinate colorwise. But simplify it to sweater, sweats, and shirt alone and it would be pretty inspiring.
hey. simply he's so cool.
the man and the sea are the best combinations like hemingway's.
very oneness like almost zen.
very poetic.
it's a very good shot indeed.
he's just showing how to do it here
effortless cool without trying.
What's with the pants!!! Bizarre!
OK, I come here for the moments like this. And I couldn't care less for 'style' & 'fashion'. Fantastic.
It's a very bold look,but I would have loved to see a full body frame (with some shoes of course) just to get the complete look.I guess I have to use my imagination.
Love you work
I could smack this gorgeous man for putting those red travesties on.
Well. I wouldn't smack anyone, but you know whay I mean…

With the Ma'rib Dam, which they had constructed with very advanced technology, the Sabaean people became owners of a great irrigation capacity. The fruitful lands they thus obtained and their control over the trade routes allowed them to lead a magnificent and luxurious lifestyle. However, they "turned away" from Allah to whom they should have been grateful for all those bounties mentioned above. Therefore, their dam collapsed and the "flood of Arim" destroyed all their attainments.
The Ma'rib Dam seen above in ruins was one of the most important works of the Sabaean people. This dam collapsed because of the flood of Arim mentioned in the Qur'an and all the cultivated areas were swamped. Its territory destroyed with the collapsing of the dam, the Sabaean state lost its economic strength in a very short time and was soon completely demolished.
In such a country, where standards of living and circumstances were so positive, what the Sabaean people should have done was to "Eat of the Sustenance (provided) by their Lord, and be grateful to Him" as is said in the verse. Yet, they did not do so. They chose to lay claim to the prosperity they had. They thought that this country belonged to themselves, that it was they who made all these extraordinary circumstances possible. They chose to be arrogant instead of being grateful, and, in the expression of the verse, they "turned away from Allah" …
Because they laid claim to all the prosperity they had, they lost it all. As related in the verse, the flood of Arim destroyed everything they had.
In the Qur'an, the punishment sent to the Sabaean people is named as "Sayl al-Arim" which means the "flood of Arim". This expression used in the Qur'an also tells us the way this disaster occurred. The word "Arim" means dam or barrier. The expression of "Sayl al-Arim" describes a flood that came about with the collapse of this barrier. Islamic commentators have resolved the issue of time and place being guided by the terms used in the Qur'an about the flood of Arim.
Mawdudi writes in his commentary: As also used in the expression, Sayl al-Arim, the word "arim" is derived from the word "arimen" used in the Southern Arabic dialect, which means "dam, barrier". In the ruins unearthed in the excavations made in Yemen, this word was seen to be frequently used in this meaning. For example, in the inscriptions which was ordered by Yemen's Habesh monarch, Ebrehe (Abraha), after the restoration of the big Ma'rib wall in 542 and 543 AD, this word was used to mean dam (barrier) time and again. So, the expression of Sayl al- Arim means "a flood disaster which occurs after the destruction of a dam.""We converted their two garden (rows) into gardens producing bitter fruit, and tamarisks, and some few (stunted) Lote-trees" (Surah Saba: 16). That is, after the collapse of the dam-wall, all the country was inundated by the flood. The canals that had been dug by the Sabaean people, and the wall that had been constructed by building barriers between the mountains, were destroyed and the irrigation system fell apart. As a result, the territory, which was like a garden before, turned into a jungle. There was no fruit left but the cherry-like fruit of little stumpy trees. (4)
The Christian archaeologist Werner Keller, writer of "The Holy Book Was Right" (Und Die Bible Hat Doch Recht), accepted that the flood of Arim occurred according to the description of the Qur'an and wrote that the existence of such a dam and the destruction of the whole country by its collapse proves that the example given in the Qur'an about the people of the garden was indeed realized. (5)
After the disaster of the Arim flood, the region started to turn into a desert and the Sabaean people lost their most important source of income with the disappearance of their agricultural lands. The people, who had not heeded the call of Allah to believe in Him and to be grateful to Him, were in the end punished with such a disaster as this. After the great destruction caused by the flood, the people started to disintegrate. The Sabaean people started to desert their houses and emigrate to Northern Arabia, Makkah and Syria. (6)
The Qur'an tells us that the Queen of Saba and her people were "worshipping the sun besides Allah" before she followed Sulayman. The information on the inscriptions verify this fact and indicate that they were worshipping the sun and the moon in their temples, one of which is seen above.
On the pillars, there are inscriptions written in the Sabaean language.
As understood from the verses, the mistake of this garden owner was not to deny the existence of Allah. He does not deny the existence of Allah, on the contrary he supposed that "even if he is brought back to his Lord" he would certainly find something better in exchange. He held that the state he is in, was due to his own successful efforts.
Actually, this is exactly what associating partners to Allah means: attempting to lay claim to everything that belongs to Allah and losing one's fear of Allah thinking that one has some particular grace of his own, and Allah will somehow "show favour" to one.

Museum exhibits are designed with adult reading levels in mind, so we recommend that families and others bringing young children stay with and assist their children as they visit the Museum on their own.
Since the Museum is set in a multipurpose building with ongoing classes, exams, research laboratories, as well as patient clinics and waiting rooms we ask that our visitors respect this studious atmosphere as they view the exhibits.
The School of Dentistry and Kellogg Institute Buildings are wheelchair accessible and meet ADA requirements.

Monument Valley is the focus of the efforts as workers scramble to complete the new Tse'bii'nidzisgai Elementary School at Monument Valley, which is scheduled to open in August. The $10 million facility will house the students and faculty that are currently at Mexican Hat Elementary School at Halchita. The school in Halchita will be knocked to the ground soon after the last day of school on May 25.
The six existing school district homes in Halchita may be moved to the housing area at the new school next year. The construction of seven new homes at the new school is nearly complete, at a cost of an additional $1 million
Construction is scheduled to be completed in coming weeks, giving faculty and staff time to move materials into the new school.
Crews will also be busy in the area while completing a number of projects at Monument Valley High School. The projects will include new heat and air conditioning systems, new classroom to replace portable trailers, a concession facility that will serve both the football field and gymnasium, new lighting, a remodeled technology center area, and a backup power system. The total cost of the work at the high school is $1,383,000.
The current plan is to remodel the existing housing at Monument Valley High School in the next year.
Crews are constructing a new track and field facility at San Juan High School in Blanding. The project will feature a new six-lane track, complete with drainage, fencing, and ADA access. New bleachers and a press box will also be installed. Total cost of the project, which is scheduled to be complete before the start of the football season in August, is $870,000.
Crews are constructing a new concession stand and bathrooms at the Monticello High School football field. Total cost of the project is $175,000.
The projects are funded, in part, by a voted leeway approved by voters in 2006. Voted leeway funds are matched by the State of Utah and used to finance construction projects in the district. The San Juan School District carries no debt.
The next major construction project in the district is a new school to house Monticello Elementary School. Construction is tentatively planned to begin in 2013.

I'm sorry I haven't read it yet. My Mom has been in the hospital with Pneumonia so I've haven't been vigilant as usual I'll look at the RP in a sec and respond.
Sure no problem. In fact I started it off. I did it in a way that has more questions than answers (mystique or at least I hope it is XD) and basically it creates a dialogue with him and the jedi...again I hope XD
Man if that were my sister, Haman would die right there.
As for me my most memorable was the Dublin Colony drop, I mean it was the only time where we see a colony drop take place in the present and not as a flashback.
It was like watching a nuke drop.
Surprised it didn't explode though.
So what was your most memorable moment from that show?
You'd think they'd explain something like that...I mean was she even in the area at the time?!
So I got a question, so it's revealed that Sayla saved Judau's sister. How the hell did that happen?!
Unfortunately, but at least it's getting a US release at long last.
So you also like ZZ?
Yeah, another Ducks fan! Woo! Do you go to any home games? The Honda Center (before it was called that, it was known as the Arrowhead Pond) has always been a gorgeous arena, especially compared to the crappy arena the Sharks play in, reminds me of a warehouse, all cold and gloomy, lol. Speaking of the Sharks, everyone up here can't stop acting like they won the Cup or something just because they're 2-0 on the season, lol. I guess when you always choke like they do, you really have to grasp at straws, ha!
As for Skype, I don't have an account unfortunately
Thanks for your condolences, Zeta. We had a tough year this year. Hard schedule, crapton of injuries, the most significant of which being loosing Hunter Pence, although Marlin Byrd has been a shot in the arm both in the outfield and at bat. I hope he returns to the Giants next year. Hmm, who do I want to see win the whole post season? Well, certainly not the Dodgers, if they even make it that far, lol. Don't really care much for the Cardinals, either. I'd kinda like to see the Mets win, just because everyone likes to make fun of how bad they are...or were, anyway. They are going to the post season, right? I'll be honest, I really only follow the Giants, so forgive me if I'm off.
How about you?

9th June 2017
Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) would have been more than satisfied with gaining two additional seats overnight; having taken 10 of the region's 18 seats. In fact the DUP usurped what was supposed to be a Conservative celebration.
What once appeared a shrewd calculation by Theresa May, has turned out to have been a reckless gamble. The Conservative Party, while remaining the largest party in Westminster, has lost its overall majority, losing 12 seats.
Whilst the UK has decisively returned to its trademark two-party politics, with Labour and the Conservative accounting for a combined 82% of the vote, this return has not been accompanied by a return to the tradition of large parliamentary majorities.
Indeed, May has indicated that she will seek to run a minority government, relying on the support of the DUP on a vote by vote basis in order to pass its legislative agenda. It is unclear how sustainable this relationship will prove to be and whispers of another election in October are rife.
May's gamble has clearly not, as she repeatedly promised, provided her with the conditions necessary to deliver "strong and stable" government. It has in fact weakened her position at the tiller ahead of the Brexit negotiations.
Her Premiership looks like it has been holed below the waterline, with big players in the Cabinet keeping remarkably quiet. Whether this will prove fatal will become clear in the coming days. May is due to meet with Cabinet Ministers on Friday evening, to carry out an enforced reshuffle following the toppling of several ministers. In the coming weeks she must successfully surmount a number of major hurdles.
The first is a meeting of the influential 1922 Committee of Conservative MPs next week. Many of its members are reportedly furious with the manner in which the campaign was run and at seeing their majorities slashed. The second will be in passing the Government's legislative programme, Queen's Speech, on the 19 June.
Brexit negotiations that were penciled in to begin on 19 June may be postponed, further eating into the limited time available to conclude negotiations.
One thing that can be said with relative certainty is that a large volume of copies of the DUP's manifesto will have been printed out and downloaded today. Equally, the Northern Irish Representation in Brussels and the lone DUP MEP, Diane Dodds, may well have busier summers than expected.
The highlights from the UK:
May busts the Conservatives flush
UK Prime Minister, Theresa May, called the General Election on the premise of securing a personal mandate for the Brexit negotiations. This strategy has failed. There is a hung Parliament and the Conservatives lost seats. Prime Minister May is seeking to rule with the cooperation of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) on the basis of a vote by vote confidence and supply arrangement. We can expect considerable political uncertainty over the coming weeks.
Clear trends in the results have been few and far between, with sizeable regional variations in the direction and quantity of swing. Labour have seen huge increases in their vote share in London and other areas which voted remain in the EU Referendum. Large Conservative majorities have been overturned in Ipswich, Reading East and Canterbury whilst bellwether seats such as Lincoln turned Labour. The Conservatives saw large increases in their vote share in swathes of the North and Scotland but only in the latter were these swings of sufficient size to take their target seats. In Wales, where the Conservatives made large gains in the local elections just one month ago, Labour have gained seats at the Conservatives' expense.
Although for now the Conservatives remain in power, there will be a number of forced Ministerial changes. Jane Ellison, James Wharton, Simon Kirby, Gavin Barwell and perhaps most notably Conservative manifesto author Ben Gummer, have all lost their seats. There have also been a number of high-profile political casualties in other parties. The SNP's Alex Salmond and Angus Robertson lost, as has the former leader of the Liberal Democrats and ardent europhile Nick Clegg.
Reports are already swirling of the Conservatives planning a change in leadership, however, Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn looks secure. He may have lost this election, but he has won the battle of expectations and has improved on Labour's result in 2015, both in terms of vote swing and seats.
The Grayling View
Regardless of whether May survives the week, the UK Parliament is facing a period of legislative paralysis. Controversial Conservative manifesto pledges such as grammar schools, pensions and social care reform face no prospect of progress. More urgently, for Brexit the ramifications are potentially huge.
Negotiations are due to begin in a matter of days and it is unclear who will be leading the UK Government. In terms of the makeup of the House of Commons, early analysis indicates there is unlikely to be a parliamentary majority for exiting the single market, let alone for carrying out the massive legislative task of transferring EU law into UK law.
The last 24 hours have seen yet another political shock. The UK has returned resoundingly to two-party politics with May securing the most Conservative votes since 1992 and Jeremy Corbyn securing the most Labour votes since 1997. Both parties polled at over 40% of the vote, in any other election year this would have been enough for landslide majorities and certainty. In 2017's unique political climate it has translated into political stalemate and more uncertainty.
If the UK is to be led by a majority Government at any point during the Brexit negotiations, another election will need to be called. The German Federal Elections will be held on 24 September; the opportune window for another UK election is already closing rapidly.
The highlights from Brussels:
EU UK election reaction round-up
European Commission:
Jean-Claude Juncker – President of the European Commission
"We are ready to start negotiations ... I hope that the British will be able to form as soon as possible a stable government. I don't think that things now have become easier but we are ready".
Michel Barnier – EU Chief Brexit Negotiator
"Brexit negotiations should start when the UK is ready. The timetable and the EU's positions are clear".
Gunther Oettinger – Budget and Human Resources Commissioner
"We need a government that can act". "With a weak negotiating partner, there's the danger that the negotiations will turn out badly for both sides … I expect more uncertainty now".
European Council:
Donald Tusk – President of the European Council
"We don't know when Brexit talks will start. We do know when they must end".
European Parliament:
Guy Verhofstadt MEP – Lead Representative on Brexit Matters
"Yet another own goal … will make already complex negotiations even more complicated".
Manfred Weber MEP – Chairman of the European People's Party (EPP)
"The clock is ticking for Brexit. Therefore the UK needs a government soon. The date for the beginning of negotiations is now unclear. May has brought chaos to her country".
Gianni Pitella MEP – Chairman of the Socialists and Democrats (S&D)
"May gambled with the UK and the EU's future. She wanted a stronger negotiating hand and has ended up with a hung parliament. She has no credibility in the UK or in Europe. She must resign. Negotiations must start with the minimum of delay".
Elmar Brok MEP – Brexit Sherpa
Europeans are disappointed that May has failed to gain the majority that could have helped her to override hardliners within the Conservatives. "Now no Prime Minister will have that room for maneuver".
Member States:
Edouard Philippe – Prime Minister of France
"I don't believe that one should read into the result a shift in the position expressed by the British over Brexit".
The Grayling View
Contrary to the media spin in London, Brussels is ready, willing and able to start negotiations. Political disarray in the UK is driving the delay. High-level sources suggest that negotiations are now unlikely to begin as scheduled on 19 June.
Furthermore, the EU-27's hand has been further strengthened. May called an election to win a mandate for a hard Brexit, patently she has been denied it. Uncertainty and delay in Westminster whilst a new government is formed and a 'new' Brexit strategy drafted will continue to eat into the precious two years provided for under Art. 50. Time pressure is more of an issue for the UK with any extension to negotiations entirely in the gift of the EU, who may choose to leverage it in the talks. EU leaders will however be disappointed by the continued absence of a partner with whom to negotiate. Indeed, they would quite like to get down to business.
On the one hand, 'no deal' is more of a possibility as the UK struggles to find the political will or technical expertise to agree its position. On the other a radically softer Brexit may become possible – a 'camouflage Brexit' - as the UK may seek to stay in the Single Market and/or the Customs Union as it has neither the strength to negotiate a bespoke hard Brexit nor the domestic backing to do so.
In either world, the onus is on business to offer negotiators ideas, solutions and solid data, as it becomes ever clearer that on the UK side, at least, the capacity and power to negotiate a good deal is lacking.
Highlights from the Member States:
Poland's balance of Brexit risks and opportunities
The Polish Government's three Brexit priorities correspond to the EU's sequencing of the negotiations: citizens' rights, reaching a financial settlement and establishing the basis for the future relationship between the EU and the UK. Poland's Minster for European Affairs Konrad Szymański has suggested that the aim should be to resolve the first two issues by the end of 2017. Beyond the negotiations, Poland will seek to ensure that the UK's departure does not result in a reduction in the size of the EU budget.
Poland faces Brexit related risks, as the UK is Poland's second largest trading partner and one with whom it enjoys a trade surplus. Additional trade costs in the form of potential tariff and regulatory barriers would inevitably damage this relationship, particularly in the tobacco and automotive sectors. In contrast, many economists claim that Brexit is an opportunity for the Polish economy which can offer a competitive and attractive location for business, with a relatively cheap, but well-educated labour force and a favourable geography. According to the Minister for Development and Finance Mateusz Morawiecki 30,000 jobs in Poland already rely on British investment.
The Grayling View
Poland is a prime example of the reality that whilst the UK Government is the most vocal proponent of Brexit's supposed opportunities, such opportunities are also available to the Member States of the EU-27.
Poland is certainly not being shy in attempting to woo UK businesses with the possibility that the Government could introduce fiscal and other incentives to induce relocation. Should competition among the EU-27 become too acute then it could undermine the unity that has so far characterised the EU's negotiating position.

Independent developer Gerald Aquila and award-winning designer Wolfgang Bartelme have released Firetask for Mac. The new desktop version complements its mobile counterpart Firetask for the iPhone and iPod touch and is geared towards professionals, creatives and managers who need to enter, manage and delegate up to a hundred or more tasks every day. As such, it is heavily optimized for keyboard control while providing a clear and visually attractive overview of all relevant tasks across different project task lists.
Like its mobile counterpart, Firetask for the Mac combines concepts from David Allen's innovative Getting Things Done (GTD) approach with practical elements of classical task management such as due dates and priorities. Firetask's strengths include its unique and focused "Today" screen showing both upcoming due tasks and relevant next tasks in a single view as well as its practical "Waiting For" list that makes it easy to keep track of delegated tasks. Unlike other task management applications for the Mac, Firetask explicitly organizes tasks into projects and supports the user with a well-balanced overview of all open tasks across projects in its Today and category-based overviews.
Firetask for the Mac syncs wirelessly with its iPhone or iPod touch counterpart over local WiFi networks. The user interface of the mobile version was recently redesigned in order to become as consistent as possible with the new desktop version. Both user interfaces are designed to be highly visual and easy to use. Beside its colorful set of category icons, users typically like Firetask's clear use of indicator icons that improve the clarity of task list overviews without overloading them.
For the initial public version, the creators of Firetask have focused on the essentials such as quick task entry, clarity of the user interface and effective management of project-oriented task lists. Extensive support for drag & drop as well as the ability to search for tasks are features that are planned to be released in the form of free updates over the next few months.
In the green spirit, Firetask is available as a digital-only distribution for download from the Firetask website for a free 15-day test drive. Firetask for Mac requires Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.x) and can be purchased though the Firetask online store for $49 (USD) and EUR 44 (including VAT) respectively.

Venado Tuerto and Rosario, Argentina
Wednesday – January 31
Our tour guide in Argentina was Jorge Caxenave, son of the under secretary of agriculture. He frequently used a cell phone on the bus anyplace we were in the Pampas. A person can drive all day and the topography is the same everywhere - miles and miles of mostly flat prairie. Most of the equipment was Class, New Holland, John Deere and Argentina companies. We saw lots of Dekalb and Roundup Ready signs.
Non-farm Commercial Stop #1
This stop was at the headquarters of a major farmer cooperative at the edge of Venado Tuerto. This is one of the major cooperatives in Argentina. They have 60 grain elevators and 20,000 farmer members. The average member farms 60 to 70 hectares (148 to 173 acres). They said their total storage is 1.5 million tons (55 million bushels of soybeans). Last year they stored 2 million hectares (nearly 5 million acres) of grain production in all their elevators. They also process soybeans, make livestock feed, and operate in the export market, and 30% of the members are farming 10% of the land. Bigger corporations and groups farm ninety percent of the land.
They have 26 centers and each center has a board of nine directors. Each board reports to the central board of twelve directors. The directors elect a president for the co-op. There is one delegate per 100 members. I am sending you material on this cooperative. Each dot represents a location of an elevator.
Took pictures of Roundup and other chemicals in their warehouse. They said they have only been fertilizing soybeans for about three years. In this area they said they were using 40 to 50 kilograms per hectare (35 to 44 pounds per acre) of nitrogen and 70 to 80 kilograms per hectare (62 to 71pounds per acre) of phosphorus. Sulfur is needed as well as other micronutrients such as manganese. No potash is applied.
Typical corn fertilization is 150 kilograms per hectare of nitrogen (134 pounds) and 80 to 100 kilograms of phosphorus per hectare (71 to 89 pounds). pH is a little low on most area farms. Cash price at this co-op is $2.96 per liter for Roundup ($11.20 per gallon). Roundup not paid for until March (harvest time) is $3.06 per liter ($11.58 per gallon). This cooperative is a big supplier of credit for these small farmers. This allows the member farmers to avoid borrowing through banks.
Seed corn cost is $64 to $68 per 20 kilograms (44 pounds) bag containing 80,000 seeds.
Not much lime is used yet in this area. We saw various trucks on the road. We were told they were hauling wheat or soybeans from last year's harvest.
We left the cooperative for our continued trip to Rosario. Perhaps 10 miles from Rosario we drove onto what would be a 4-lane Interstate by-pass. I saw one train moving across the countryside with numerous grain cars.
Rosario in on the Parana River and is about 120 miles northwest of Buenos Aires. The river can handle ocean-going ships with a draft up to about 32 feet. I took a couple of pictures of one large terminal with ships in the background. As we left Rosario the next morning for Buenos Aires, I counted at least 3 or 4 soybean processing facilities along the river. We did not stop at any of the facilities because we had two scheduled for visit in Brazil.
We checked into our hotel in downtown Rosario, which is a big city with over a million population. As you drive into the city, you see all standards of housing from some of the worst slums to very nice homes. The shopping street located 2 blocks from our hotel was very modern. If it weren't for the Spanish signs, you would have thought you were on Michigan Avenue in Chicago. Apparently the office workers were going home about the time my wife and I walked through the area. I saw dozens and dozens of beautiful women of Italian lineage, apparently going home from work. And this was one of the few times I did not have my camera with me!

Galaxies' missing mass may hide in gas clouds
Huge amounts of cold matter surround star-containing regions, study finds
JPL-Caltech/NASA and S. Willner/Harvard-Smithsonian CfA
OXON HILL, Md. — Vast reservoirs of previously undetected gas account for much of galaxies' mass, according to research presented January 7 at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society. The finding could explain why earlier studies found far less mass in galaxies than cosmologists' theories had predicted.
For more than a decade, astronomers have wondered about galaxies' missing mass. Baryonic matter — the ordinary, visible stuff of the universe including the protons, neutrons and electrons that make up stars and planets — should account for about 17 percent of a galaxy's matter; the rest is invisible dark matter. But when researchers try to estimate the amount of baryonic matter in stars and in the 1 million degree Celsius and hotter gas that surrounds galaxies in giant halos, astronomers can account for only around a third of the baryonic matter they think galaxies should have.

The Raiders have reached agreement with Dennis Allen to be their head coach, according to Fox Sports' Jay Glazer.
Allen and Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie met for a second time in Mobile, Ala., on Tuesday and hammered out the details of a contract that will make Allen the franchise's 18th coach — Art Shell had two stints.
The Raiders have not commented on Glazer's report, which later was reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter. A news conference introducing Allen likely will take place in Alameda before week's end. McKenzie still is in Alabama for the lead up to the Senior Bowl.
Allen, 39, was the Denver Broncos defensive coordinator last season. Under his guidance, the Broncos defense improved from 29th in average yards allowed to 20th and from 32nd in points to 24th.
He also interviewed for the St. Louis Rams coaching vacancy, which ultimately went to Jeff Fisher. Allen also has coached the secondary and defensive line during his 10-year NFL coaching career. He has spent time with the Atlanta Falcons, New Orleans Saints and Broncos.
McKenzie said the day he was introduced as the Raiders general manager that he fired Hue Jackson, in part, because he wanted "my guy." In the end, McKenzie hired a guy in Allen in which he has no previous ties.
Allen is well regarded in NFL coaching circles as bright, energetic, hard-working and driven to succeed. He inherits a Raiders team that went 8-8 the past two seasons but has no winning seasons since 2002, when they advanced to the Super Bowl.
Late Raiders managing general partner Al Davis favored offensive-minded coaches. John Madden in 1969 was the last coach hired by the Raiders with an offensive-based background.
Allen will have sole authority to hire the coaches on his staff. Offensive coordinator Al Saunders has a strong shot at sticking around so that Allen can go about the process of improving the Raiders without having to worry too much about that side of the ball.
It's defense where the Raiders need the most work, and that happens to be Allen's specialty. The Raiders allowed 31 touchdowns passes last season, 5.1 yards per carry and the third-most points in franchise history (431).
Allen employed a 4-3 defensive scheme with the Broncos last season. McKenzie said he favors whichever scheme works best.
For now, the Raiders personnel is best suited to running the 4-3. We'll wait until speaking with Allen to see what his intentions are along those lines.
Here's how Allen described what he expected from the Broncos defense before last season, in an interview with the Broncos website: "We're going to be built off speed and athleticism. We want to be a very fast, violent, aggressive type of defense."
McKenzie fired Jackson on Jan. 10 and immediately set about identifying the best person to help the Raiders emerge from their nine-year funk.
He also interviewed Todd Bowles (Dolphins), Marty Mornhinweg (Eagles), Pete Carmichael Jr. (Saints) and Winston Moss Packers). Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, Bears offensive coordinator Mike Tice and Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers also surfaced as potential candidates, though none interviewed.

Longhorn Cavern State Park Provides Illuminating Experience
Park Hosts Ribbon Cutting for New Lighting System Inside Historic Cave
Staff from Texas Parks and Wildlife, Longhorn Cave Tours, Inc., area chambers of commerce, as well as volunteers and dozens of guests were on hand at Longhorn Cavern State Park Thursday evening to cut the ribbon and ceremoniously "reopen" the popular Hill Country destination, following a major renovation of the cave's lighting system.
Some $700,000 of low-voltage quartz halogen lights, sophisticated switches and miles of new wiring provide not only dramatic new views inside the cavern, but the system's low heat output is better suited to help protect the cave's delicate ecosystem balance. The renovation marked the park's first lighting upgrade since the original incandescent bulbs were installed by the Civilian Conservation Corp during the 1930s.
"This is fantastic; it's like coming down into the cave for the first time," said Terry Rodgers, superintendent of the Inks Lake Complex, which oversees operations at the Cavern, which is operated by a private business contract concessionaire, Longhorn Cave Tours. "The new features outlined in the light are incredible."
Once home to mammoth's, ancient peoples, Confederate soldiers and allegedly even Old West outlaws, Longhorn Cavern State Park today attracts tens of thousands of visitors to its 645 acres above and below ground. And park operator Michelle Devaney thinks that the improvements will help draw even more folks.
"The new lighting system puts into place a way for visitors to go through this cavern and see the features illuminated in a way that brings to life the geology and beauty. Taking out the old lighting also helps to protect and preserve this amazing resource for a long, long time," she said.

Despite comments from Max Clifford that he believed the agency could continue without him, many clients in addition to Simon Cowell are understood to have severed ties with the agency.
Lingerie brand Boux Avenue claims it handed MCA notice it wanted to terminate its celebrity contract in late 2013, according to a spokesman from its fashion PR agency Trace PR. When PRWeek sought to enquire about Boux Avenue's relationship with MCA during the trial the company did not respond.
Other clients are also understood to have ended their contracts, including Channel 4 celebrity businessman Dave Fishwick. TV celebrity Lauren Goodger has removed mention of Max Clifford from her social media profiles, and model Lilah Parsons is also reported to have said Clifford is no longer representing her.
Other clients who Clifford claimed three weeks ago were still working with the agency, including the Chinese Three Tenors and the Miss World Organisation, have not yet responded to requests for comment.
Max Clifford Associates has declined to respond to requests for comment on client matters, citing advice from Clifford's lawyers not to comment.

No Sunday lunch at my in-laws' last week, the 24th June 2012. Since Lorenzo begged off because of homework and Joaqi wanted to take one of his dogs to Pets' Day Out at the ATC, just Catha, Mauro, and I went to Makati for lunch. Catha had wanted to go to Ukokkei Ramen Ron, but it was closed when we got there. Thus, we just went a little further down Pasay Road to Tsukiji.
|For the three of us, by way of Sashimi:
|Uni (Sea Urchin) - flown in from Japan Friday night, but still very nice.
|Hotate (Scallops) - these were enormous! I had ordered Mirugai (Geoduck) but they were sold out.
|Hon-Toro (Fatty Bluefin Tuna Belly) - superb as usual.
|Ohmi Wagyu - also great as usual.
|Tokujo Nigiri Platter for the sushi course.
|Scallop "Guts" on the halfshell.
|Catha always has to have Agedashi Tofu at Japanese restaurants...
|...just like I always have to have Ebi Tempura.
|Catha also got an order of Tempura Donburi (a.k.a., tendon).
|A bowl each for Mauro & I of Hiyashi Ramen.

Amanda Lenoard signed Sign Our Petition 2018-06-26 17:58:05 -0500
Every year we receive hundreds of calls and emails about dogs left outside suffering in the extreme Texas weather. We know law enforcement, the media, and everyday Texans are sometimes helpless to do anything when they see a dog succumbing to a heat stroke.
That's partly because every jurisdiction in Texas handles these cases different. Why? Because we do not have a single definition of "adequate shelter" that everyone can use.
If the horror stories of animals freezing to death or dying in the Texas heat haunt you, you can do something NOW.
Sign our petition: tell Texas legislators dogs deserve adequate shelter.
Passing our tethering bill next session will allow us to include a statewide definition of "adequate shelter" as a minimum standard of shelter that all pet owners should have to meet. Once we have this definition in place, local law enforcement and animal control officers will be able to act swiftly.
Please help us change the fate of Texas animals. They can't afford to wait.

There has never been a place like The Dali Museum. Rich in works from artist Salvador Dali's entire career (1904-1989), the Museum has key works from every moment and in every medium of his artistic activity.
The Dali's distinguished building on the beautiful downtown St. Petersburg, FL waterfront enables the Museum to protect and display the collection, to welcome the public, and to educate and promote enjoyment. In a larger sense it is a place of beauty dedicated, as is Dali's art, to understanding and transformation.
This Virtual Tour gives you a glimpse of Dali's precocious talent, persistent obsessions, humor, edginess, and beauty – from iconic melting clocks to imaginative visual illusions and avant-garde symbols.

For millions of young "Star Wars" fans, and some not so young, Alec Guinness is the man who played Obi-Wan Kenobi. And that is that. For all they know Guinness only did this in his life: expound on the glories of The Force and get Mark Hamill up to speed with a light saber.
"I shrivel inside each time it's mentioned," Guinness once said of "Star Wars," though the Oscar winner ("The Bridge on the River Kwai") had the advantage of shriveling in economic comfort. The George Lucas saga made him rich, especially by veteran British character actor standards. But to remind yourself what Guinness could accomplish in other, earlier, more glorious realms of his screen life, I direct you to the digitally restored "The Man in the White Suit," the 1951 Ealing Studios classic opening this weekend at the Music Box Theatre.
Director Alexander Mackendrick's film didn't showcase Guinness the way other films did; it's an exquisitely balanced ensemble comedy, 85 minutes of sublime interplay and deft thrusts and parries. But in his portrayal of the driven, borderline-sociopathic research chemist who discovers a formula for fabric that will never wear out, thereby threatening the livelihood of textile workers and imperious industrialists alike, Guinness shines from within, his saucer eyes glowing with blinkered purpose.
At the time of the movie's initial U.S. release, critic Kenneth Tynan wrote of the actor's "inward fanatical glow." Laurence Olivier, Tynan wrote, is the sort of performer who "ransacks the vaults of a part with blow lamp, crowbar and gun powder." By contrast, he argued, "Guinness is the nocturnal burglar, the humble Houdini who knows the combination." And "facially, he is akin to what John Locke imagined the mind of a newborn child to be — an unmarked blank, on which circumstances leave their casual trace."
This is what you remember of Guinness, who died in 2000, if you've seen his George Smiley in the TV miniseries adaptation of "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy." As much as he loved inhabiting outsize roles with flagrant wigs and dubious teeth, as in David Lean's "Oliver Twist" as Fagin or in "The Ladykillers" with Peter Sellers, Guinness had an instinct for burrowing in and hiding, and letting his voice and that curious, detached smile indicate, subtly, what his man was thinking.
He learned how to act onstage: His first speaking parts in London came in a play called "Queer Cargo," in which he played a Chinese coolie, a French pirate and a British seaman. Then John Gielgud picked him for the Old Vic. Enlisted in the British Navy in 1941, as Tynan wrote in his profile, Guinness was "accidentally" the first man ashore in the invasion of Sicily. "The time of the landing had, unknown to him, been postponed, and he arrived on the beach an hour early, at the helm of a lonely landing craft." Later the young Guinness confronted his admiral with "the curt but ill-advised assertion that such tardiness would never be tolerated in the West End theatre."
Writing in 1952, Tynan asserted that the minimalist upstart in question "is not, and never will be, a star." He was wrong in that particular only. "Star Wars" made him rich. But Ealing gems such as "The Man in the White Suit" trained Guinness for his own peculiar sort of stardom, in our own galaxy, not so far, far away.

Republican lawmakers urge Obama to use 'combatant status' for bombing suspect
Top Republican senators urged President Obama on Saturday to hold the suspect captured in the Boston Marathon bombing as a potential enemy combatant -- denying him a government-appointed attorney and other legal rights under the "Law of War" so investigators can learn about other possible attacks.
After his capture Friday, bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was not read his Miranda rights, which essentially state those arrested have a constitutional right to be told information they give to officials can be used against them.
However, the public safety exception that allows suspects to be questioned without being read those rights expires 48 hours after the arrest.
"The events we have seen over the past few days in Boston were an attempt to kill American citizens and terrorize a major American city," Sens. Lindsey Graham, South Carolina; John McCain, Arizona; and Kelly Ayotte, New Hampshire, said. "The suspect, based upon his actions, clearly is a good candidate for enemy combatant status. We do not want this suspect to remain silent."
They were joined in the statement by New York Republican Rep. Peter King.
Tsarnaev, 19, was captured in Watertown, Mass., about eight miles from the bombing site. He remains in a hospital in serious-but-stable condition with two gunshot wounds.
He will be interrogated by the Obama administration's High Value Interrogation Group.
Justice Department officials tell Fox News they hope to file charges against Tsarnaev by the end of the day Saturday.
Federal public defenders said they have agreed to represent Tsarnaev.
Miriam Conrad, the federal defender for Massachusetts, says her office expects to represent Tsarnaev after he is charged.
Conrad said Tsarnaev should have a lawyer appointed as soon as possible because there are "serious issues regarding possible interrogation."
The Republican lawmakers also said: "We remain under threat from radical Islam and we hope the Obama administration will seriously consider the enemy combatant option. We are encouraged our high value detainee interrogation team is now involved … .A decision to not read Miranda rights to the suspect was sound and in our national security interests."
President Obama in the immediate aftermath of the bombings declared them an "act of terrorism." And he vowed after Tsarnaev's capture Friday to get answers but has yet to say whether the administration will use the combatant status.
The second suspect, Tsarnaev's 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed early Friday morning in Watertown in a shootout with police.
Two bombs set off Monday afternoon near the marathon finish line killed three people and injured 176 others.
The president on Friday night said the victims "deserve answers."
"We will determine what happened," he said. "We will investigate any association that these terrorists may have had."
The American Civil Liberties Union expressed concern about Tsarnaev being questioned without being read his Miranda rights.
Group Executive Director Anthony Romero said Saturday the exception applies only when there's a continued threat to public safety and is "not an open-ended exception" to the Miranda rule.
The Obama administration has a range of legal options in the case, including seeking the death penalty.
The administration has indicated it intends to move quickly to build a criminal case.
Prosecution in federal court would seem a natural course for an administration that previously won a life sentence against Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab of Nigeria for trying to blow up a packed jetliner using a bomb sewn into his underwear on Christmas Day 2009.
The administration also will put Usama bin Laden's son-in-law on trial in January on charges that he conspired to kill Americans in his role as al Qaeda's chief spokesman.
As a U.S. citizen, Tsarnaev could not be tried by a military commission under current law; the only option for prosecuting an American is in civilian courts. A federal official with knowledge of the case said Tsarnaev was naturalized as a U.S. citizen in September 2012. The official was not authorized to speak publicly about details of the case and requested anonymity.
King told Fox News before Tsarnaev's capture that his Miranda Rights could be denied.
"I believe he can be interrogated under the public safety exception of the Miranda ruling because clearly life and death can be involved here," he said. "I feel confident the FBI has the right to interrogate him."
The lawmakers were followed by Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, who said: "I am disappointed that it appears this administration is once again relying on Miranda's public safety exception."
But Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., a former federal prosecutor and member of the House Intelligence Committee, told Fox News the administration should ignore "hasty calls to treat the suspect as an enemy combatant."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

It came with a kit to fit into window and I have an elongated tall window so it took a bit of finessing and painted plywood but the vertical blinds will hide that! The instructions are why I didn't give it 5 stars. The machine itself runs well and the remote is handy. It isn't as loud as a window air conditioner. So far so good !

This sign would be cute just hanging out next to your coffee pot. This is engraved into a 6" x "6 reclaimed wood sign.
All of our products are created from reclaimed lumber, giving life to something that would have normally been tossed into a landfill or a fire. We utilize as much of each piece of wood as possible. By doing so we do our part to be green! We help keep trees on the earth and pollutants from the air and ground. Because the wood we get is from salvaged buildings built around the turn of the century each piece not only is a statement but also a piece of history. Our sayings are engraved into the wood so no need to worry about scratching paint off because it's there to stay.
At Acorn Millwork we have built quite a reputation with our handmade, one-of-a-kind creations that come off of our production line in our 65,000 square foot facility. 50% of our company products are produced from reclaimed lumber that we get from barns, churches, fencing, granary buildings, warehouses, and old factories built in the late 1800's to the early 1900's ....
