"On Tumblr, the blogging service, the president's speech became fodder for quick animation loops, and there were doctored images of Mr. Obama riding a unicorn, with rainbows shooting out of his hands."
Online, an Urge to Be a Part of the Bin Laden News - NYTimes.com
Nice bit from Jenna
Fear Of Missing Out again, eh?
I'll take the occasion to repeat my Fundamental Theory Of Times Lifestyle Reporters: they embrace and seek out the social bonding, validation and collective experiences that they missed out on while they were spending their time achieving things in high school. They're naive in the way book worms would be naive and they obsess a bit too much over things that seem "cool". It explains so many of the cases where they seem to get stories wrong.
It's pretty obvious that people were talking about the announcements of the evening. What's not so clear, and probably highly disputable, is the relevance of the information services mentioned in this article to the OBL news or even the meta track of the OBL news. Did anyone online get a fundamentally different experience from someone who saw the news on a TV in a bar? "People used Tumblr to post art and tell jokes inspired by current events". You know what, that never happened before Tumblr. Huh. The way we live now!
I agree that social media is now speeding up the pace of things (and thus creating a real urgency of time-opportunity for anyone who likes to dabble in current events). But we know that already. That horse died from its beating in 2007. We don't need to be told about something breaking on Twitter every time something breaks on Twitter. One article per year on that thought is probably enough.
You know what would have been interesting? If the CIA found Osama Bin Laden through unintentional location clues on his or someone else's Facebook page. Something like that will happen someday! (probably already has) Didn't happen yesterday, though. Yesterday was just a good old-fashioned CIA raid that made the network news, except instead of Reagan we got Smooth Barry to talk us through it.
By the way, tech CEOs LOOOOOOVE this stuff because it's free marketing created and distributed by people who probably should be using their medium to talk about other things (but those reporters live in a world that ran out of interesting people and good clean fun a long time ago. It's not like Jenna was going to go down to Bowlmor and get some public reactions there). It's another sign that there is a big bubble ready to pop in all of their faces. You don't see Steve Ballmer giving quotes about how people used Windows 7 every time they're having a viral moment, do you? Some kinds of companies are willing to push their PR agenda harder than others. There are other online communities a lot bigger than [any of those companies], who have been around a lot longer, who have very good revenue streams (or revenue at all!), that don't get name-drops in the lifestyle pages the way that [any of those companies] does. You should always question that state of affairs.
On that note, I want to give super super mad props to whoever is working PR for Path and Sysomos. The other companies mentioned are ridiculously low-hanging fruit for a garden-variety "people are doing things online!" article; the publicists for those companies, on the other hand, had to WORK IT to get in on this one. That's some nice placement there. No, I'm not looking up who it is; I might find it's the work of someone I know, and my eyes are too puffy from allergies to go into a deep roll at the moment.

I originally thought of titling this post "Writing the story worth sharing," but decided to change the word "sharing" to the word "writing.
Most writers have vast stores of story ideas tangled in the lint of their metaphorical pockets. And certainly there is the possibility of a rich vein being discovered when properly and wisely mined. The trick, as usual, is in the quality of work a writer does to shape their story into something worth telling.
What do I mean by "worth" telling?
And who am I to judge whether something is "worth" telling or not?
Exactly the point. I'm not qualified to tell any writer whether or not their story is worth telling? Only you can decide.
We'll be spending time in class (and here too) over the next two weeks talking about how to choose the "best" story to write, and then begin preparing ourselves to write that story worth writing in the most interesting and engaging way possible.
To get you started -
- As a writer, what do you think about when there's nothing to think about?
- If you could be one person or thing besides who you are, who or what would you be?
- If you could live in any time besides the time you live in now, when would it be, and where?
- What one subject are you most passionate about? Something that makes you angry or excited or scared or...just thinking about it?
- When was the last time you felt deep emotion about something? When someone hurt you, or made you feel intense feelings of love? Something spiritual? Physical? If you were sharing this experience with someone, would you share it sitting down or standing up?
Looking forward to learning together about how to write the great stories within us.

Finding common ground: What do we all agree upon?
I have during the past couple of months seen a wide range of different topics being disussed here on TED by a much more diverse group of people, with a much more diverse set of skills and interests, than I have ever witnessed in a single internet community before. People with different believes, from different parts of the world, and with very different backgrounds have engaged in dialouges that sometimes have been quite heated, but almost allways civilized, and to an astonishing extent very constructive.
So after all exchange that has happened, I can't help but wondering. What do we all agree upon? Can we create a collection of statements that we all seem to agree upon?

West Virginia appears largely insulated from near-term program cuts if the new year arrives without an agreement on federal revenues and spending.
But many state taxpayers will take an immediate hit if President Barack Obama and Congress fail to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff.
Negotiations continue in Washington to avert automatic tax increases and spending cuts set to begin in January. West Virginia Budget Director Mike McKown says crucial federal funding for state highways and Medicaid are exempt. Most other state agencies wouldn't feel the effects for a year or more.
But wage-earners should expect to start paying more toward Social Security, even if the fiscal cliff is avoided. Deputy Revenue Secretary Mark Muchow says people who pay income taxes also face possible higher rates and fewer credits.

I don't like surprises. I want to know what I'm getting for Christmas, my birthday and what we are having for Easter Dinner. I already know what I want; therefore, a surprise is usually a disappointment. Usually.
The Bentley Continental GT on these pages shocked the hell out of me, an unexpected but wholly satisfying surprise. Wrapped in yards of gorgeous sheet metal, leather and gleaming chrome, the GT appeared as elegant as a British Lord at teatime, both mannerly and refined, the type of vehicle you take to a polo match or golf outing. The next moment, it exploded with the fury of a soccer hooligan about to take the World Cup. Its acceleration was so intense, the entire contents of my pack ended up wedged in the rear window.
Yes, the Bentley GT surprised me, primarily because I never viewed Bentleys as particularly fast cars. I knew they were powerful, but in more of a Mac Truck sort of context. I was wrong.
By now, everyone and their mother have waxed poetically about the Bentley GT. In short, every reviewer said the same basic things: it's fast and luxurious. I don't think they emphasized the "fast" part enough. Or maybe it was this particular car and its unique treatment. Although I spent all of two hours behind the wheel of this Axis-owned Bentley, it was enough to leave a lasting impression. This car performs with all the grace of an M5, has the acceleration of a Porsche Turbo and the high-speed stability of a Mercedes. In short, it's a stud in a three-piece suit.
Owner James Chen of Axis Wheels is no stranger to automotive exotic. Several years back, we featured his modified Ferrari 360 Modena, a car that no doubt had Enzo spinning in his grave at 8000 rpm. Though most people consider modifying high-end cars a sacrilege, there is a select group that wants more performance and singularity.
This Bentley was treated with 10x22-inch Axis Crewe wheels covered in a rich "Diamond Black" paint. The Pirelli rubber measures 295/25-22, and though they lack much sidewall, the car remains surprisingly comfortable. The crew GMG installed a lowering module that essentially makes the car think it's going 100 mph. At that speed the vehicle drops 1.5 inches closer to earth for that well-tucked autobahn stance.
GIAC boldly explored the Bentley's brain (actually dual brains, as the W12 engine is essentially a pair of narrow-angle six-cylinder motors). GIAC techs found substantially greater power under the hood: 80 more bhp and nearly 100 lb-ft of twist. GMG ensured this newfound power was completely realized and fabricated a sport exhaust (dual down pipes), upgraded diverter valves and performance air filters. If you were to saddle-up next to this car in a stock Continental GT, you'd be seeing its taillights after the first 50 feet, if you're into that sort of thing.
Certainly this treatment will appeal to a small minority of GT owners and that's just fine. Most Bentlians couldn't handle the surprise.

Spray a Dutch oven with vegetable oil cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Drain 1 can of the peaches. Combine both cans of peaches, including the juice from the undrained can, the blueberries, if using, the baking mix, sugar, and a sprinkling of cinnamon. Place this mixture into the Dutch oven.
To make the topping: Combine the baking mix, sugar, butter, and milk in a resealable plastic bag. Drop bits of dough, using your fingers, on top of the peaches. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Place the Dutch oven into the preheated oven for 30-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crusty.
It was my grandson who introduced me to your show when he was young and wn he visited me we would always sit together to watch it. He loves you and so do I. You are so very talented and you have such a wonderful family that you must be so proud of (love those guys) You were very badly mistreated and misunderstood in that courtroom I saw a black person on the comedy channel use the n word many many times when he was on stage (isn't fair is it) But you have come back even better than before and I wish you all the best in the world. YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally! A peach cobbler with just the texture I wanted. Loved the blueberries and want to try it with blackberries next time. The dutch oven definitely made a difference.
By Wendy Hampton on September 14, 2013
I made this for company. it was fast to put together and all loved it. Thanks Paula I can always count on you for a good recipe that turns out. Your my favorite go to!
By Jennifer on September 05, 2013
Can you use fresh peaches for this recipe? I love the fresh peaches. Saw the question below but there was no answer to the person. I think I would like this one. I have tried making peach cobbler recipes with putting the fruit on top and some with a cake mix on top and etc. Always seem to have mushy white stuff stay uncooked. They have good flavor but seem to have to much uncooked dough that bubbly peach juice is supposed to cook dough, also added tapioca to thicken juice so not to running, failed at all of them. So want to try this one.

This recipe is fabulous!!! We have enjoyed it several times. I do use the light bisquick mix and works just great....................truly delicious!!
By Peg on May 21, 2013
I love this recipe! Ive even tried my own twist like adding Hazelnut creamer instead of milk, adding walnuts to the topping, and adding nutmeg. I hope everyone enjoys this as much as i do!!
By Tori on February 15, 2013
I used fresh huckleberries instead of blueberries
By Tiffany on September 15, 2012
Could I use fresh peaches instead of canned? If so; should I drain 16 ozs of the fresh peaches really well and leave the other 16 ozs in their juice? Thanks in advance for your consideration!
By Ann on July 23, 2012
Love this recipe! I've experimented with my family twice.....and they loved it so much, that I'm making a double sized cobbler for Thanksgiving! Thanks Paula!!!

Best peach cobbler I have ever made
By shannonloveangels on November 12, 2011
Served about 8 Boys Scouts at camp this weekend. Put dry ingredients into 3 separate baggies at home (mix / topping / Cin Sugar) To reduce cleanup, we substituted soft room temp butter for melted. Kneaded butter into topping baggie before adding milk. If the Scouts are buying, I would substitute frozen blueberry's for the fresh ones to cut costs.

Looks like a yummy recipe..I'm going to try it..... I was actually looking for an Apple Cobbler recipe.Can I substitute apples for peaches and would I have to precook the raw apples to make sure they get done?

Andromeda–Milky Way collision
The Andromeda–Milky Way collision is a galactic collision predicted to occur in about 4 billion years between the two largest galaxies in the Local Group—the Milky Way (which contains our Solar System and Earth) and the Andromeda Galaxy[1][2][3] although the stars involved are sufficiently far apart that it is improbable that any of them will individually collide.[4]
Stellar collisions[edit]
While the Andromeda Galaxy contains about 1 trillion (1012) stars and the Milky Way contains about 300 billion (3×1011), the chance of even two stars colliding is negligible because of the huge distances between the stars. For example, the nearest star to the Sun is Proxima Centauri, about 4.2 light-years (4.0×1013 km; 2.5×1013 mi) or 30 million (3×107) solar diameters away. If the Sun were a ping-pong ball, Proxima Centauri would be a pea about 1,100 km (680 mi) away, and the Milky Way would be about 30 million km (19 million mi) wide. Although stars are more common near the centres of each galaxy, the average distance between stars is still 160 billion (1.6×1011) km (100 billion mi). That is analogous to one ping-pong ball every 3.2 km (2.0 mi). Thus, it is extremely unlikely that any two stars from the merging galaxies would collide.[4]
Black hole collisions[edit]
The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies each contain a central supermassive black hole, these being Sagittarius A* (ca. 3.6 x 106 solar masses) and an object within the P2 concentration of Andromeda's nucleus (1-2 x 108 solar masses). These black holes will converge near the center of the newly formed galaxy, transferring orbital energy to stars that will be moved to higher orbits by gravitationally interacting with them, in a process that may take millions of years. When they come within one light year of one another, they will emit gravitational waves that will radiate further orbital energy until they merge completely. Gas taken up by the combined black hole could create a luminous quasar or an active galactic nucleus. As of 2006, simulations indicated that the future Earth might be brought near the center of the combined galaxy, potentially coming near one of the black holes before being ejected entirely out of the galaxy.[5]
The Andromeda Galaxy is approaching the Milky Way at about 110 kilometres per second (68 mi/s).[1] Up until 2012, there was no way to know whether the possible collision was definitely going to happen or not.[6] In 2012, researchers came to the conclusion that the collision is definite after using the Hubble Space Telescope between 2002 and 2010 to track the motion of Andromeda.[1] Andromeda's tangential or side-ways velocity with respect to the Milky Way was found to be relatively much smaller than the approaching velocity and therefore we expect it to directly collide with the Milky Way in about 4 billion years.
Such collisions are relatively common. Andromeda, for example, is believed to have collided with at least one other galaxy in the past,[7] and several dwarf galaxies such as SagDEG are currently colliding with the Milky Way and being merged into it.
These studies also suggest that M33, the Triangulum Galaxy – the third largest and brightest galaxy of the Local Group – will participate in this event. Its most likely fate is to end up orbiting the merger remnant of the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies, to merge with it in an even farther future, but a collision with the Milky Way before our galaxy collides with M31 (the Andromeda Galaxy), or being ejected from the Local Group cannot be ruled out.[8]
The fate of the Solar System[edit]
Two scientists with the Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics stated that when, and even whether, the two galaxies collide will depend on Andromeda's transverse velocity.[2] Based on current calculations they predict a 50% chance that in a merged galaxy the solar system will be swept out three times farther from the galactic core than its current distance.[2] They also predict a 12% chance that the Solar System will be ejected from the new galaxy sometime during the collision.[9] Such an event would have no adverse effect on the system and the chances of any sort of disturbance to the Sun or planets themselves may be remote.[9][10]
Without intervention, by the time the two galaxies collide the surface of the Earth will have already become far too hot for liquid water to exist, ending all terrestrial life; that is currently estimated to occur in about 3.75 billion years due to gradually increasing luminosity of the Sun (it will have risen by 35–40% above the current luminosity).[11][12]
Possible triggered stellar events[edit]
When two spiral galaxies collide, the hydrogen present on their disks is compressed producing strong star formation as can be seen on interacting systems like the Antennae Galaxies. In the case of the Andromeda–Milky Way collision, it is believed that there will be little gas remaining in the disks of both galaxies, so the mentioned starburst will be relatively weak, though it still may be enough to form a quasar.[10]
Merger remnant[edit]
The galaxy product of the collision has been nicknamed Milkomeda or Milkdromeda. According to simulations, this object will look like a giant elliptical galaxy, but with a center showing less stellar density than current elliptical galaxies.[10]
In the far future the remaining galaxies of the Local Group will coalesce into this object, that being the next evolutionary stage of our group of galaxies.[13]

DENISON, TX -- A special concert gave some residents a chance to hear live classical music, and the students say they were glad to put on a show for an appreciative audience.
Three students from the Juilliard School in New York and five master's degree music students from Rice University in Houston played at the Waples United Methodist Church on West Main Street on Saturday afternoon."It's the first time I've gotten to do something like this and for the other students as well," says cello player Francesca McNeeley, a Rice student. "We all get to participate in summer festivals and things like that, but during the year we're usually focused in being at our schools."The students will be back to play music before the 11 a.m. church service on Sunday, and also visited a Sherman nursing home The Renaissance along with TMC in Denison.
The free events were sponsored by Denison Performing Arts, the Bocklett Family Foundation, and the city's Main Street office.

DETROIT (WJBK) - Lawyers in court like to ask yes-or-no questions. But they don't always like to answer just yes or no.The judge overseeing Detroit's bankruptcy trial scolded city emergency manger Kevyn Orr for his long elaboration in response to yes-or-no questions.Before a lunch break Tuesday, Judge Steven Rhodes said he's been "ineffective" in getting Orr to limit his answers. Orr apologized.The judge told Orr he would accept the apology if Orr accepts his advice. Orr is a lawyer and is a key witness in a trial to determine if Detroit will be allowed to restructure $18 billion in debts in bankruptcy court.Also a topic in court today was a nickname for Detroit that can be seen in an email circulated to Kevyn Orr from Jones Day lawyers, before Orr became the city's emergency manager. The title of the email referred to Detroit as "Debtwa," a play on words for the city's pronunciation. The nickname didn't sit well with lawyers for AFSCME. "It's insulting. First, we have to endure the loss of our right to vote, then we're called 'dumb, lazy, happy and rich,' then you see lawyers - Jones Day lawyers, who by the way are receiving tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer money, referring to Detroit as D-E-B-T-W-A - Debt-wa. It's insulting; as a Detroiter I'm insulted," Richard Mack tells Fox 2's Charlie Langton. He is a lawyer for AFSCME. Orr is due back on the witness stand next Monday, when the trial resumes.

Before your project gets rolling, you will probably want to mark its major goals with milestones (milestone: A reference point marking a major event in a project and used to monitor the project's progress. Any task with zero duration is automatically displayed as a milestone; you can also mark any other task of any duration as a milestone.). The quickest way to create a milestone is to add a task (task: An activity that has a beginning and an end. Project plans are made up of tasks.) with no duration to your project plan.
The milestone symbol is now part of your Gantt Chart.
Sometimes a milestone takes time. For example, the approval process at the end of a phase might take a week, so that milestone would need to take place over time like a normal task.
On the Gantt Chart, the milestone symbol appears on the last day of the task. It doesn't appear as a bar, even though it has duration.

Sometimes you might need a milestone to track a task that's outside the scope of your project.

Webb of Delight
February 23rd, 2011
XLGirls.com would like to wish the awesomely endowed Alice Webb a happy birthday (February 23). It's just a coincidence that this pictorial was scheduled on her birthday, but it's not a coincidence that she has so many fans. One fan in particular, Mr. B.P., says that he was inspired by Alice's photos and videos to create his own oil spill. He wrote in, "You should feature Alice Webb in every issue of XL Girls. She is quickly climbing the ranks to be one of my favorite models ever along with Samantha and Sapphire. She is my kind of girl: freckled and big-titted. In addition to seeing her again in solo photos, I hope Alice decides to do hardcore. She has so much potential to be one of the greats! I would love to see how her huge breasts look tit-fucking a cock. Although you'd have to find one very well-endowed fellow to be able to handle that rack. I'd give it a go myself if I could!"

What other readers are saying about this title:
KaliO said:
Thomas Pryne is a young actor traveling in a players' troupe through jolly old 16th century England. Except that Tom is not what he appears—he is actually Viola, a girl in disguise under the protection of her actor-uncle. When they arrive in the little village of Stratford, Viola's secret is threatened by an all-too-observant, overly-inquisitive, and rather annoying boy—who just happens to be named Will Shakespeare. Will is quick to drag Viola into his schemes and adventures, but when the town curmudgeon is found murdered, Will quickly turns from mischief-making to investigating. Viola, though skeptical of Will's skill, is more than willing to play along—because her dear uncle is accused of the crime, and the brash young playwright-to-be just might be their best chance at uncovering the truth. Author Bailey MacDonald sprinkles her clever mystery with snippets from familiar plays and stays true to the lively spirit of the real William Shakespeare (1564-1616). As irresistible as the boy Shakespeare super-sleuth is, MacDonald has no current plans for a sequel. She does, however, have plans for a young Benjamin Franklin, who stars in his own rousing mystery debut, The Secret of the Sealed Room.

Critical Essay by D. Franco Felluga
SOURCE: "The Critic's New Clothes: Sartor Resartus as 'Cold Carnival'," in Criticism, Vol. XXXVII, No. 4, Fall, 1995, pp. 583-99.
In the following essay, Felluga maintains that some critics have attempted to "retailor" Sartor Resartus by viewing the work as "an ornate and stable system of thought. " Felluga states that these reviewers have failed to address "Carlyle's carnivalesque efforts to expose all systems as limiting and false. "
Hans Christian Andersen's tale, "The Emperor's New Clothes," provides me with a parable for what I find questionable in certain previous treatments of Sartor Resartus. As the story goes,
In the large town where the emperor's palace was, life was gay and happy; and every day new visitors arrived. One day two swindlers came. They...

Why don't "the people" tell the news? Why do we make media companies responsible for reporting our news?
After an amazing Live Conversation with Julia Bacha today on encouraging the media to cover nonviolence leaders, I couldn't help wondering why don't people make the news?
Why do we let media companies tell us what the news is, as if we have no idea what's going on in our own backyards? We ARE the news. We make the news what is it, and yet it's not even decided by us. Why is this?
Why do we feel it's the responsibility of media companies to report on us instead of the other way around?

Sep 24 2011: I really don't know what makes certain organizations just responsible for giving people what they want to know not the truth.
given the term "truth" is totally vague
so these organizations tell what's possible to be said
given the fact that "meetings" are all closed
afterwards "they" tell what is supposed to be said
meanwhile, you see journalists have their sources or when they run like crazy to be the first to receive the news
this mechanism is old fashion
I personally don't understand, the environment has changed though "they" keep governments family like
as it's for certain people, who said that?
why do we have governments at all?
security??!!!, we have governments now, we are not secure
I think sometimes maybe terror is a move from governments themselves to keep being in power
this age is gone, and so shall the system governing the old approach
I really keep thinking what makes me believe what was told in the news is right
is it possible to check how correct the news were!, sure no
I can go on, when an old guy talking to his young children, is it always the truth said there? or what the father thinks suite the kid, assuming when he grows "enough" he would know
at that time, he will be going for some time trying to figure out the benefits, consequently coping with the idea

Answering the Challenge: A U.S. Oil and Natural Gas Industry Initiative on Climate Change
Through its leading trade association, the American Petroleum Institute, the U.S oil and natural gas industry is implementing an initiative to address climate change. API's Climate Challenge Programs feature three components:
The API Climate Action Challenge focuses on strategies for reducing emissions. Under the Climate Action Challenge, companies are taking action to reduce, sequester, offset, or avoid their greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, under the Challenge, API-member refining companies are working to improve their energy efficiency by 10% by 2012 and are on track to meeting this goal.
The API Climate R&D Challenge involves support for enhanced research and development leading to new and improved technologies as part of a longer-term effort to reduce or sequester GHG emissions. Current areas of effort include energy efficiency, alternative energy technologies, and carbon capture and sequestration technologies.
The API Climate Greenhouse Gas Estimation & Reporting Challenge is implementing more robust methods for calculating, reporting, and tracking emissions industry-wide. API has been a leader in developing truly accurate greenhouse gas emissions estimating tools and is working to get its Compendium adopted world-wide so one consistent estimating tool covers oil and gas operations throughout the world.

CARTER FOSTER: So this drawing is a study for Hopper's painting, Route 6, Eastham, from 1941. What's amazing about it is this conceptual balance you have between the architectural details and the space of the road and this house on it and all these color notations that Hopper made.
It's full of color notations, very specific ones that describe, in interesting adjectives, different shades of gray and how carefully Hopper wanted to remember the colors that he was actually seeing, so that when he went to make the painting back in the studio, he clearly used this as a memory aid.So it shows this tension between the real and the imagined that was really at the heart of Hopper's art.

(Reuters) - The last-place Columbus Blue Jackets fired head coach Scott Arniel on Monday and said assistant Todd Richards will take over on an interim basis for the remainder of the National Hockey League (NHL) season.
The decision to fire the second-year coach comes a day after Columbus fell to the Anaheim Ducks in a matchup of the NHL's two worst teams, leaving the Blue Jackets 20 points out of a playoff spot.
Arniel took over as head coach in Columbus in 2010 and went 45-60-18 in 123 games, including an 11-25-5 mark this season for a league-low 27 points.
Richards, 45, who posted a 77-71-16 record as the head coach of the Minnesota Wild from 2009-11 before joining Columbus, will make his debut on Tuesday when the club visits the Chicago Blackhawks.
Arniel represents the seventh coaching change of the 2011-12 NHL as St. Louis, Washington, Carolina, Anaheim, Los Angeles and Montreal all made changes.

Sampling the Upscale Culinary Landscape in Mendocino, California
At the top of everyone's list of places to dine in Mendocino, Café Beaujolais put Mendo on the culinary map. Originally opened as a breakfast restaurant in 1977 by now-celeb chef Margaret Fox. She sold the restaurant in 2000, along with her recipes, which remain the backbone of the kitchen. Beaujolais' monochromatic urban-chic dining room is a far cry from the Laura Ashley–Victorian style of the old days, but the place remains an institution. Incorporating organic produce and free-range meats, the Cal-American menu mixes regional domestic styles and ingredients. It's totally worth a visit, if only once.

It's 5.35am, it had to be tonight, of all nights, when it was going so well and I was enjoying myself that I ended up losing my house key.
And it wasn't just the fact that I lost my house key, ohh naw, my phone has also died, no phonebox in the area was working to dial a blueline cab, and now the library is the only place I can resort to in times of anguish.
Genuinely NEVER been so pissed off in my entire life.

PlatinumGames Officially Announces Anarchy ReignsYesterday we heard about Max Anarchy, the new title from PlatinumGames that features Jack from MadWorld in an entirely new setting. That was the Japanese title as translated from Famitsu, and now the company has announced an official North American name for the game: Anarchy Reigns.
The announcement also confirmed a fall launch for our territory, and included our first look at the game in the form of some screen shots. It's clear from the gallery that this is a Platinum game. The screens show off the gore of MadWorld, the acrobatics of Vanquish, and the posterior of Bayonetta.

The Association of Women Surgeons (AWS) was founded in 1981 when Patricia Numann, MD, FACS, invited as many female surgeons as she could identify to breakfast at the October meeting of the American College of Surgeons. Sharing many common experiences, interests, and concerns, these women decided to meet annually on an informal basis. For the next few years, the first significant contact that many female residents or newly practicing female surgeons had with more professionally advanced surgical women was through these Wednesday morning breakfasts at the American College of Surgeons' fall meeting.
Attendance grew each year until it became apparent that the group needed a more formal structure to address their common professional concerns. AWS was thus incorporated in 1986. In 1988, Tamar Earnest, MD, FACS, led an energetic membership campaign which brought the total number of female surgeons in the organization to nearly one thousand. To increase communication among the members, a quarterly newsletter and an annual professional development program were inaugurated at the fall meeting of the American College of Surgeons in 1989. As a result, it became apparent that the organization needed to consider its future direction within the surgical community. The first strategic planning session was held in 1991, resulting in the mission statement we retain today and strategies relating to four specific goals. Two of these strategies, namely the annual Fall AWS meeting for professional development and a governor position for an AWS representative in the American College of Surgeons, were accomplished in 1989 and 1995, respectively.
Truly an international organization, AWS has members in 15 countries, including: Australia, Beirut, Canada, the Commonwealth of Dominica, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Latvia, Malaysia, South Africa, Switzerland, and the Unites States of America.

Should These Batting Greats Retire?The four veterans, along with just-retired Ricky Ponting, make up half the all-time list of just 10 players to have amassed 10,000 Test runs, along with the already retired Rahul Dravid, Brian Lara, Allan Border, Steve Waugh and Sunil Gavaskar.
By Vandita Agrawal, IndiaTimes | December 1, 2012, 9:00 am IST
1 Jacques Kallis (37)
He is one of the greatest all-rounders of all time, being the only cricketer in the history of the game to hold more than 11,000 runs and 250 wickets in both one day and Test match cricket. Kallis is second highest scorer of Test centuries (44), behind only Sachin Tendulkar who currently has 51. This year alone, Kallis has smashed 905 in 8 Tests at an amazing average of 75.41.

Movie: The Door in the Floor
Year: 2004
Director: Tod Williams
Critic rating: 3
Rating: R
Genre: Drama
Format: html
While silly young actresses like Natalie Portman are making a big deal about (not) showing their boobs, along comes two established and respected actresses, Kim Basinger and Mimi Rogers, who had no problem getting naked for this 2004 drama (although granted Basinger's nudity was done in a very long camera shot so you couldn't see much). No so with Rogers, who has a many-seconds-long full frontal scene.
Based on the John Irving novel A Widow for One Year, the movie tells the story of successful 1950's children book author Ted Cole and his wife (although it's set in modern times rather than the 50's).
After they lose their teenaged sons in a car accident, wife Marion lapses into deep depression and causes tremendous strain to their marriage. Ted hires a young man to work as his summer assistant, and he winds up becoming Marion's lover. Although Ted becomes aware of the relationship, their own work relationship remains.
Excellently acted with a well-done screen play and interesting characters, the movie had only one minor flaw. It's flat-out boring. Perhaps I've just overdosed on too many action movies.

Bass Pro Shops is still under construction, but that did not stop officials from allowing News Channel 11's cameras in to see its progress.
Our cameras caught a sneak peak of the inside of the store and Uncle Buck's Fishbowl and Grill.
Bass Pro Shops has a team of researchers who are filling the store with taxidermy species that are indigenous to the area. Another team is going through the area looking for furniture and local antiques to place in the store.
"There was a barn up on the hill that our developer had. We actually took the barn wood off of the barn and we built a barn structure back in our archery counter so that back wall of archery will actually have real barn wood from this area," said General Manager Jeff Hall.
The 104,000 square foot store will feature men's, women's, and kids' apparel, a boat department, ATV sales, marine electronics, and areas related to fishing, camping, hunting, and archery.
The 19,000 square feet Uncle Buck's Fishbowl and Grill will have two 6 lane bowling alleys and a boat shaped bar. A ship in the ceiling will feature a 15-foot great white shark coming out of a hole in the hull.
"It's pretty exciting with the imagery team in here and painting all the murals on the walls. They are in the restaurant doing all the coral and the murals for the restaurant. It's going be an underwater/under the sea type of theme. Just a pretty cool experience!" said Hall.
The store, once it is open, will employ about 175 people and the restaurant will employ around 125.
Bass Pro Shops grand opening is slated for August 21 and a pre-opening is scheduled on the evening before its grand opening on August 20 from 6:00 p.m to 9:00 p.m. Organizers tell News Channel 11 they hope to have special celebrities on hand.
This will be Bass Pro's 66th store.

text: On the Negative side... I have to say that the thing lacking on these Solstice Class ships is a place to meet for a drink and may be have a dance before dinner. The only place we found was opposite Guest Relations on Deck 3 but the space is very limited and gets packed in the lead up to dinner.Deck 4 has the Martini/Ice Bar but it was standing room there too. I hope they sort something out as it did spoil it a bit for us. On deck 5 there is a Cocktail Bar which is near to the Photo Shop that lacked atmoshphere and rarely used - during our 16 nights we only saw 2 or 3 couples use it but did notice some of the officers sitting there so that goes to prove how quiet it was!

Mayville Dream
Editions Mego / Spectrum Spools
Like a heavily layered Container LP or a more structured Bee Mask, Ben Billington, operating here as Quicksails, at once fits neatly into the Spectrum Spools catalog and expands it in unexpected ways. Past Quicksails releases were on Under the Spire and NNA Tapes, but "Mayville Dream" is bolder and positively kaleidoscopic, with streams of color and bursts of energy creating a lively and inviting album. It's structured and always rooted in intoxicating rhythmic formats with every speck of sound - pulsing pianos, jittery synths, crashing cymbals, and glitchy electronics - working towards inexorable momentum. It's no surprise that Billington comes from a background in percussion, but there's so much more happening on "Mayville Dream" than that. It's telling that on the rare occurrence he slows things to a crawl, such as on "Only Escape," the album remains just as captivating. - Ryan Potts, Experimedia
Spectrum Spools
The second full-length self-titled album by Ren Schofield's Container project, "Container" is spare, minimal, Noise-influenced outsider Techno with a rigid focus. The opening track establishes the tonal palette of the record, with bit-crushed rhythms set against a deceptively simple drum pattern. A careening, looped oscillation appears midway through the track and steadily gains momentum and position in the mix. Schofield is adept at making these jarring juxtapositions feel organic and coherent. Standout track "Acclimator" teems with insectoid chatter and whips up fascinating polyrhythms by way of its creative and judicious use of delay. Some may write off Noise-Techno as trendy and topical (and perhaps much of it is), but Schofield's efforts are well worth a listen. - Alex Cobb, Experimedia
Bee Mask
When We Were Eating Unripe Pears
Spectrum Spools
Chris Madak's Bee Mask project returns for another full-length outing on eMego sub-label Spectrum Spools, following a well-received slight detour of a 12" on the Room 40 label in which he explored slightly less abstract climes and focused more on rhythm and repetition, a tendency that also rears its head on this record. "When We Were Eating Unripe Pears" is perhaps best understood as the "proper" follow-up to his initial offering for Spectrum Spools, "Canzoni dal Laboratorio del Silenzio Cosmico," and offers the listener rich, alien soundscapes that are rife with detail. Burbling, chiming, seething, rising, panning - Madak's palette is diverse yet coherent, with disparate tonal arrays held together by a deft sense of pacing and recurrent motifs, rhythmic or otherwise, that show up throughout the album. "The Story of Keys and Locks" blooms suddenly into a sequencer-driven reverie that recalls co-conspirator John Elliott's work as Outer Space, all claustrophobic arpeggiations and high-end detritus. Obversely, "Fried Niteshade" and "Rain in Coffee" exist in more open spaces, with writhing, bubbling tones pinging and humming softly as if rotating in concentric orbits. Ultimately, "When We Were Eating Unripe Pears" is right at home in the Spectrum Spools stable, and if you're a fan of the imprint's output this should be a no-brainer. - Alex Cobb, Experimedia
Spectrum Spools
FORMA's OFF/ON finds the Brooklyn trio exploring the propulsion of motorik and sequenced hypnosis as trancefeed in some cosmic mystery cult. Each track moves forward as magnetic bullet train in near future megapolis. Arpeggios and intricate sequences flutter among celestial synths. Recorded using an impressive collection of vintage synthesizers and drum machines, OFF/ON is a magnetic journey through realms buzzing with electric potential. The end result is an album of hypnotic, swirling texture that invites the listener to trance states filtered through the hue of soundtrack to a lost 1980s film. - Curt Brown, Experimedia
Bee Mask
Following on the heels of two superlative LPs on the Spectrum Spools label is this new missive from Chris Madak's Bee Mask project. Devoted as ever to rigorous experimentation, the sounds here diverge a bit from what I typically associate with the project, favoring crystal clear arpeggiations, subtle vocal samples and intricate sequencing rather than the hazy, clangorous machinations that dominate much of his previous output. Side A's "Vaporware" is aptly named, with razor-sharp sequencing and arpeggiations bookending a beautiful pad motif. "Scanops" retains the accessibility and clarity of the A-side. Burbling synths and chopped/looped vocals ride a slow-sifting tide of ethereal drones which are slowly removed, revealing a lattice of oddly affecting, wordless vocals. A very nice 12". Can't wait for the next full length. - Alex Cobb, Experimedia
Outer Space
Akashic Record (Events 1986-1990)
Spectrum Spools
So much music exploded in the 20th Century that it's still hard to keep things straight. Most trends simply didn't have long enough to culturally gestate, hence the cyclical reassessment of these once forgotten genres. The name John Elliot should be familiar to those who are overjoyed at the prospect of synthesizer music stretching its legs out again. Performing as Outer Space and in the group Emeralds, Elliot has continuously showered us with blankets of textured ambiance and crystal clear, minimal arpeggios. Akashic Record (Events: 19986-1990), out on his own Spectrum Spools imprint, is a further refinement of his expansive, pulsating synthesizer music. The album is best enjoyed as an adventurous electronic soundtrack — the backdrop to someone's specific emotional situations. These scenarios are only teased in the song titles ("11:38", "October 27th, 1989 - Bay Village, Ohio") but their presence is enough to suggest a broader narrative beyond the persistent bass sequences and shimmering electronics. They hint at the flesh and blood behind the often stark tones here, and reveal how nuanced and beautiful even the most synthetic music can be when a heart is beating somewhere under the surface. - Keith Rankin, Experimedia
Plvs Vltra
Spectrum Spools
You're probably already familiar with the voice at the center of PLVS VLTRA, as it belongs to Toka Yasuda of Enon and Blonde Redhead fame. Pantheon is her debut solo album for Spectrum Spools, and she injects the label with a serious dose of eclectic electronic pop. Yasuda's voice, being high pitched and japanese, has unavoidable ties to Jpop artists like Shiina Ringo or the more electronic Takako Minekawa, which works to the record's advantage when placed next to its adventurous instrumentation. Simply put, the sound palette here is all over the place. I like when it gets a bit weird and dancey, especially on "Sweet Tooth", "Parthenon", and "Like Space", which are adorned with interesting shuffling grooves, found-sound samples, and bubbling synth-tom sounds. Every nook and cranny of Pantheon is filled with some interesting element, making it a pretty dense listen (especially for a "pop" album). But that's the charm, and repeated listens reveal a smart compositional sensibility hiding in the Yasuda's tangled jungle of sound. - Keith Rankin
Eric Lanham
The Sincere Interruption
Spectrum Spools
Excellent new full-length solo album of live improvised electronics by Kentucky-based sound artist Eric Lanham. Lanham is, of course, best known for his work as 1/2 of the Caboladies duo, one of the more forward thinking and consistently intriguing "synth" projects working today (and two of the most solid guys I know, to boot). His work on "The Sincere Interruption" is much more minimal, even academic sounding, than his other releases (besides perhaps the limited output he released under his Palmetto Moon Electronic Group moniker a couple years back). The 90s Mille Plateaux catalog serves as a good point of reference for this highly detailed, focused music. After a brief opener, "21:00" unfurls itself, a slow moving piece full of pinging, rolling notes and some very creative mixing (lots of activity at different volume levels as well as disorienting panning effects). This relatively minimal, tranquil track paves the way for the titular track, a blistering miasma of truncated and abused samples, cut-ups and all manner of digital whizzes and pops. It's a really engaging and dynamic listen, surely enhanced by the always stellar production spec the characterizes all eMego-related releases. For the remainder of the album, Lanham divides his time between tracks that operate in a similar manner to the title cut and more meditative, minimal tracks containing slowly modulating digital waveforms. Without question, one of the best records on the Spectrum Spools imprint (decked out with simply fantastic cover art by the inimitable Robert Beatty), this should be a no-brainer purchase. - Alex Cobb
Motion Sickness of Time Travel
Self Titled
(Spectrum Spools)
Shorn of the lo-fi methods and avant-pop techniques that have dominated much of Rachel Evans' past output as Motion Sickness of Time Travel, this self-titled 2xLP expands and updates her signature sound. With four side-long tracks that each eclipse the 20 minute mark, Evans firmly places synthesizers at the forefront of her sound, spiraling alternatively between gleaming textures, syncopated melodies, and amorphous haze. Trapped between the clarity of consciousness and the surreality of a dream, "Motion Sickness of Time Travel" is primed for extended exposures and prolonged listens. A fitting and notable addition to the Spectrum Spools imprint. - Ryan Potts for Experimedia

MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ) - A Chinese researcher will not spend any more time behind bars on charges that he stole an experimental drug and its related research, so he could pass it off as his own in China.
Federal Judge Charles Clevert of Milwaukee sentenced 41-year-old Hua Jun Zhao to the time he already served while his case was going through the courts – plus two years of probation.
Zhao was accused of stealing a potential cancer-fighting chemical, and downloading the research behind the drug to his personal computer.
It happened while he worked as a researcher at the Medical College of Wisconsin near Milwaukee.
The compound was never found – and Zhao struck a plea deal in July, pleading guilty to a reduced count of illegally downloading research data.
Zhao told the judge he only wanted to protect the data – and he had no intention of profiting from it.
Several Medical College officials were in the courtroom.
None spoke when the judge invited them to.

We rented a car and headed down south to visit Jac's mom for her birthday this weekend. The winter fog in Balingup is thick like pea soup, as a man older than myself would likely say.
Tasted a bit of wine at the Brookland Valley winery, had lunch at Flute's restaurant, watched some surfers at Yalingup.
And I finally found out why all the place names here end in "up." It apparently means "place of" in the Noongar language.

CAO Criollo Reviews
Showing 1 through 10 of 47 reviewsCAO Criollo Pato
"a tasty smoke"CAO Criollo Pato
I ve smoked quite of few of these and always liked them. I had one in the bottom of the humi for a few months and it was the best yet, very tasty and smooth, with a medium body and slightly strong finish. Enjoy!stevenvh in NC, USA March 26, 2014
"Not Worth Your Time"CAO Criollo Pato
Overall - one of the worst cigars I've had in a long time. Draw was almost impossible - tried everything to get the cigar to open up - nothing worked. burn was relatively good and flavor (what I could ascertain) was whole and robust - but the difficulty of the draw( and later it kept going out) was to much. You should not have to 'work' with a cigar to smoke it.John in Libertyville, Illinois July 23, 2013
"Finished well"CAO Criollo Pato
Was somewhat disappointed with the first half as it lacked any character. Just an average taste to start. The second half was better and fairly good. It could have been the combination with the bourbon I was drinking with the second half. Good consistent burn and draw. Not as full bodied as I'd prefer.Eric E in Kentucky May 2, 2013
"Very nice Mild/Med smoke"CAO Criollo Pato
Pleasant smoking cigar. Good value for the price. Not my favorite from the CAO line, but i do keep a few in my humidor. Don't understandcomplaints on construction. I bought a box and none have cracked. Maybe a bit dry? I've found it best to keep them in the humidor for up to 2 weeks at proper humidity before enjoying.Lawrence in Hanahan,SC June 7, 2012
"If you like Lot 23 you'll like these"CAO Criollo Pato
A bit beefier Lot 23 clone. I'm not thoroughly impressed. I wasn't with Lot 23 either. Its smooth and has some spots of spicy. But otherwise a poor tobacco flavor and a wavering spicy flavor. Tight draw(had to skewer it) and a crisp straight line after the first 1/3. Will not be buying again.Ian in Columbus,OH May 20, 2012
"Great!"CAO Criollo Pato
Writing this after smoking only one. It's not a complex cigar, but it burns good and tastes good. What else could you want? I would definitely buy and smoke again. Unlike other smokers, CAO has never let me down.WillyD in Spartanburg, SC April 2, 2012
"Great Cigar, bad wrappers"CAO Criollo Pato
Fell in love with this cigar from the CAO World Sampler (great value). This cigar is super smooth, excellent draw & burn, but, unlike the Criollo cigar from the World Sampler, when you buy a box, the wrapper is MUCH more lighter, extremely delicate & always cracks. If the wrapper was exactly like the sampler, I' d buy box after box of the Criollo...weirdkurt in nc February 19, 2012
"Excellent"CAO Criollo Pato
I couldn't agree more with the other reviews- an Excellent cigar! The construction was great and the flavor was there from the first draw to the last. A great mild to medium cigar. Well worth trying if you're debating it, you'll not be disappointed.Jack in Ohio March 9, 2011
"The Search Is Over!"CAO Criollo Pato
If you are looking for the perfect, treat yourself cigar for that occasional fishing or hunting trip....this is it, you won't be disapointed! The only cigar in my humidor..Shane in New England March 4, 2011
"Smooth, not too complex"Next
Received this CAO Criollo in a sample pack. Decided to smoke it late Sunday morning sitting in the screened lanai with the College Football Preview section and a robust blend of Columbian bean. Love the Criollo unique cap twist. The wrapper had texture and also was unique in it's color, the construction was firm. After snipping the cap, even before I lit it, I could tell the draw was going to be a little difficult. The draw remained on the difficult side until the final couple of inches, taking a bit of enjoyment from the experience. That was the only shortcoming. A pleasant creamy smoke, I would call it medium-full, with subtle flavors of nut and mild spiciness. I needed to re-light 3 times, however, another time I was able to put down the cigar in my ashtray for 3-4 minutes (for a coffee re-fill and the editorial section), and started puffing with no problem. I am ordering another sample pack and look forward to smoking this Criollo again, after this first smoke I would rate it in the mid-high 80's. CAO has another quality cigar here. CAO is a good brand, enjoyed all of the 5 or 6 different cigars I've had from CAO over the last few years. For a mild-medium but still flavorable smoke, try the CAO L'Anniversaire (sp?), I rate that at 88 or 89. The "country" cigars are ALL enjoyable.Hogg in Longwood, FL August 10, 2010
