Chancellor Rogers has offered two possible options for UAF departments to extend the upcoming winter break by declaring a soft closure or reducing business hours in December or January. The options are Dec. 20 – 22, 2010 or Jan. 3 – 7, 2011. Departments are encouraged to participate in the soft closure or reduced business hours during one or both of these weeks. Departments performing essential services may need to remain open and employees in those departments may not be able to take leave during this time. For reduced business hours or soft closure there may be no forced leave. Employees may choose to work even if the department is closed; take annual leave or leave without pay; or take sick leave upon submission of evidence of illness or a professional appointment or treatment as indicated in university regulation R04.06.130 C.7. However, administrative leave is not an option during the closure. Employees should be aware that retirement eligibility (PERS and TRS) will be affected if your leave without pay exceeds 10 days in a calendar year. Employees should coordinate with their supervisor regarding leave options and schedules. For more information contact Human Resources at 474-7700.

The Campus Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990, as amended, (known as the "Clery Act") requires that colleges and universities publish an annual campus safety report, distribute the report to all students and employees, and inform prospective students and employees about the report. The report contains descriptions of campus policies and programs relative to campus security and statistics concerning specific types of crimes. The purpose of the act is to inform students and employees of the incidents of crime and the policies and procedures to prevent crime or to report occurrences of crime at institutions of higher education. The law is also designed to encourage the development of security policies and procedures and to establish uniformity in reporting of crimes at all such institutions. The information required by the law, as well as additional information relating to campus safety and security, can be found at UAF Statistics, UAF Policies/Procedures or in the UAF class schedule. To receive a paper copy of these reports contact Student and Enrollment Services, 514 Gruening Building, P.O. Box 756340, Fairbanks, Alaska 99775-6340, by phone at 474-7317 or e-mail at email@example.com. Information on sex offenders may be obtained through the State of Alaska Department of Public Safety.

What Would a Queens High Line Look Like?
Design News
The Queensway, a 3.5-mile stretch of tracks that haven't been used since the 1950s, may be New York's next High Line. To help imagine what the potential park would look like, the Queensway Connection competition attracted submissions from 100 architects.
• Take A Stroll On New York's New High Line, Coming Soon To Queens | Co.Exist
(Image credits: Queensway Connection competition)
3 Comments
The proposed project has some superficial similarities to the High Line (a park on unused rail right-of-way) but is in a very different context. The Second Avenue Subway Sagas has a good post on why this isn't a good comparison and why removing this section of rail (which could potentially be usefully reactivated) deserves careful thought: http://secondavenuesagas.com/2013/08/22/link-why-the-queensway-isnt-the-high-line/
This post illustrates one way the exiting rail right-of-way could be reactivated to expand the subway system: http://capntransit.blogspot.com/2013/01/guest-post-how-sending-r-train-to.html
would it not be better to have two train lines to a place where the active one is suspended a few feet over a body of water (and still is being repaired 15 months later), not to mention ability to get from central manhattan to the airport on one train? the train tracks might not be used for now, but one train uses so much less fuel than tractor trailers and not on the same highway as cars, much cheaper and safer to use train lines for trains everywhere!
I live in the area where this abandoned railway lays and once lived in an adjacent neighborhood as a teenager. What I find interesting about the people in the photo mock-ups on the Co.Exist site is that it doesn't even represent the demographics that live in the neighborhoods. It is mostly Indian, Guyanese, and other South Asians followed by Hispanics. As you go into Forest Park it becomes more mixed and more expensive to live. The area is residential, people keep to themselves, and the area is not teeming with a social atmosphere. Its mostly come home from work, go to the local store, or socialize in the restaurants or storefront community centers, temples, or churches. A highline park would probably be wasted since there isn't much to do around it.

Details make the difference between ordinary and extraordinary. Designed for a lot that slopes up, this traditional home plan is enriched by details. Horizontal lap siding and brick complement each other. Multi-pane windows, brick flower boxes, and a sheltered entry reinforce the upscale appearance of the three-level home. Inside, a towering foyer is capped by a window and anchored by a curved staircase. The living room and dining room work together for entertaining. Tall tray ceilings and a fireplace surrounded by windows distinguish this hospitality center. Enlightened by a bay window, the den is at the front of the house, handy if it's used as a home office. The den also could serve as a fifth bedroom because it's adjacent to a bath with a shower. Casual spaces stretch across the back of the house. A fireplace flanked by storage units captures center stage in the family room. In the kitchen, an angular island outfitted with a cooktop boosts functionality. So do a built-in pantry and desk. The eating areas are adjacent to the kitchen, easing meal service whether you're serving soup and sandwiches in the breakfast nook or a ten-course meal in the dining room. A mud room with laundry facilities serves as a transition between the public spaces and the stairway to the garage. An enclosed room in the garage houses the furnace and water heater. An oasis of serenity, the master suite is charmed by tray ceilings and stairstep walls that create cozy nooks. A whirlpool tub occupies one such nook in the bath. The bath also harbors a shower and twin sink vanities. Three additional bedrooms and a bath also occupy the second floor.
Extras: Fireplace, Loft, Walk-In Closet.

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
The 2010 vintage produced a medium-bodied Pinot Noir with ripe fruit expression, supple tannins and Burgundian restraint. Aromas of cherry vanilla give way to flavors of ripe black cherry, blackberry and raspberry. The finish offers a surprise of rich caramel. Made with 100% Pinot Noir grapes.
Refreshing acidity holds throughout making it a wine perfect for serving with seared ahi tuna or grilled salmon.
Foppiano Vineyards was founded in 1896 by Giovanni Foppiano, a native of Genoa, Italy. Giovanni emigrated from Italy to San Francisco in 1864, walking across the isthmus of Panama en route. He hoped to find his riches in the gold fields of California.

the right climate, with the right soils and the right care. Perhaps because

Floyd County Board of Supervisors Meeting
November 30, 2009, 9:00 AM
The Floyd County Board of Supervisors met for a workshop meeting at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, November 30, 2009, in the Board Room of the Floyd County Courthouse with the following in attendance: Chairman Staudt and Supv Enabnit; Absent: Supv Dunkel.
Staudt/Enabnit moved to amend the agenda to include discussion regarding the 2010 holiday schedule. Motion carried 2-0. Enabnit/Staudt moved to approve the agenda as amended. Motion carried 2-0.
Bruce Hovden, County Assessor, informed the board of a potential candidate for the Board of Review which is appointed by the Conference Board and noted by the Supervisors. Supv Enabnit is working on a candidate for the Hospital Commission.
The Board discussed the FY11 budget process including what to tell department heads at tomorrow's Dept Head meeting about budgeting for wages/salaries, health insurance premiums expected to stay the same, possibly putting a vision care program in place for non-union/bargaining employees and putting out a sign up sheet for departments to meet with the Board following the January 4, 2010 Organizational meeting. Travis Bartz, Deputy Sheriff, was called regarding the Deputy's vision care program and when the deputies would be coming to the board with bargaining negotiations for FY11. Bartz reported that they are waiting to see what the Compensation Board recommends for election officials.
The Board discussed the 2010 Holiday Schedule. Schedules from the Clerk of Court, Federal Reserve and a local bank were reviewed. Discussion included providing ten holidays instead of nine due to the likeliness of having little or no wage increases for FY11. Supv Enabnit will ask attendees at tomorrow's Dept Head meeting opinions on Monday, January 18, Martin Luther King Jr's Birthday, or Friday, December 31, 2010, New Year's Eve, for the tenth scheduled holiday.
Supv Dunkel was called to discuss Thursday's District II Supervisor's meeting.
A motion was made by Supervisor Enabnit and seconded by Supervisor Staudt to adjourn. Motion carried 2-0.

Question: I would like to create a custom recurring calendar entry, but Outlook doesn't allow this like Lotus Notes did. Do you have any suggestions to make it easier than having to create separate entries?
Answer: We former Lotus Notes users miss that feature and are hoping Microsoft will address that in a future release. Below is what I do to save time rather than creating separate entries:
- Create the entry with any invitees or information in the body of the entry and save and close the entry.
- Go to the day view of the calendar and press your control key and using the small calendar in the upper left of the screen, move to the next date and click, select the next date and click and continue until you have all of the dates select.
- Those days will appear in the calendar view. Your original entry will be listed on the first day. Press the control key on the keyboard while dragging that entry to the other days. This will copy that entry to those days.
- Unfortunately, if you need to make a change to all of these entries in the series or delete it, you would have to edit each one separately and make the change, since they are not "connected" to each other like they would be in a true series.

Really flavorful soup...with many layers to entice your taste buds! Also, can be modified quite a bit and still taste great. I left out the fish sauce ( didn't have it) and used less salt but added just a bit of lower sodium soy sauce. Tried it with diced tomatoes and it was good with that as well. Try adding snap peas near the end. Yummy!
Asian Chicken Noodle Soup
Spaghettini is a good stand-in for Asian noodles, but if you can find rice noodles, by all means use them here. Serve the soup in deep bowls with chopsticks or forks as well as spoons. Eat the noodles first and then drink the soup in the Asian manner. Or, to use a spoon only and eat everything together, break the pasta into small pieces before cooking.
Yield: 4
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 ribs celery, cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 1- inch piece fresh ginger, cut into thin slices
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1/8 teaspoon dried red-pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 quarts canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
- 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes in thick puree
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons Asian fish sauce (nam pla or nuoc mam)
- 1 cup cilantro leaves plus 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
- 1 3/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 pound spaghettini
- 1/2 head bok choy (about 1 pound), cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices
- 1/4 cup lime juice (from about 2 limes)
- 1. In a large heavy pot, heat both oils over moderate heat. Add the onion, celery, garlic, ginger, chili powder, and red-pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
- 2. Add the broth, tomatoes, chicken, fish sauce, cilantro leaves, if using, and the salt and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the chicken is just done, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken; when it is cool enough to handle, cut it into bite-size pieces. Continue cooking the soup for 15 minutes longer.
- 3. Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the spaghettini until just done, about 9 minutes. Drain and add the pasta and the chicken to the soup.
- 4. Add the bok choy; bring back to a simmer. Cook until just done, about 1 minute. Stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro, if using.
- Wine Recommendation: The piquant Asian juxtaposition of fiery and savory elements demands the cooling influence of an off-dry German riesling. Try a luscious spätlese from the Pfalz.
- Notes: Asian fish sauce is available at Asian markets and many supermarkets

Just a Guy with a Little Envy
For once, I could actually empathize with my teen son.
Bruce Sallan: I just visited my best friend, who moved from L.A. to a small town in the Northwest. He built a home, from scratch, supervising every detail, and -- with his wife -- created their dream home. I found myself feeling a tad of envy as he took me on the tour of the house, pointing out all the beautiful details.
As we've been renting for several years, the pride of ownership is just not part of our lives, and our belief is that the practical choice is to stay in rent for the near future. Our choice, certainly. But, as I reflected on my own bout of envy, I thought about my boys and how often they're comparing themselves to their peers.
The biggest area in this regard, for my teen, is with his friends getting their licenses and, in some cases, their own cars. He knows our rules -- no "B" average, no permit, no license. And, he's not there yet. We're sticking to our guns, in spite of his pouting and relating every exception he sees in his friends. The same holds true for other possessions and privileges that both boys see their friends have that they may not.
Again, we face the fact that being a good parent isn't necessarily being their best buddy. Our job is to teach them values and good habits, regardless of whether they like it or not. But, my brush with envy on seeing my friend's spectacular home was a reminder that it isn't easy for my boys. But, what do I know? I'm just a guy.

When Teen Suicide Hits Home
Would you know how to respond if a classmate committed suicide at your child's school?
The tragic news of three teenagers from the same Massachusetts high school committing suicide leads to the troubling question: What should we say to kids if, or even before, it happens to one of their peers? Dr. Peter Gutierrez, president of the American Association of Suicidology, talks about the scary idea of suicide being contagious.
- Un-glamorize it: "Kids see people are sad and paying a lot of attention to this event. An adolescent mind thinks, 'If I kill myself I will get that attention
too.' The vital fact they're missing is that when they're dead, they
won't be enjoying that attention," Dr. Gutierrez says.
- Be prepared: Moms should be ready for their kids to ask tough questions. If you don't know the answer, don't be afraid to say, "I don't know." Kids don't expect you to have all the answers.
- Keep talking: Dr. Gutierrez stresses having many talks with your child if a suicide occurs. Ask your kids how they're feeling and if they've ever thought about killing themselves. Let them know it's OK to be sad and even angry at the person who died.
Teens' initial reaction to a death can be strong, but if they are sad and weepy for several months, your child may benefit from professional counseling. Dr. Gutierrez recommends calling the National Lifeline at 1800.273.TALK. for local resources and support groups in your area.
This is so sad. But that you for the tips!
My name is Ashley and I am 17 years old. I am A junior in Cameron County High school. I am very inspired by the fact that people are finally starting to takl about the teenage suicide. For so many years we have just pushed suicide under the rug because if we dont talk about it it wont happen. That is so wrong. I am working the mental health center in my county and we a putting a suicide awareness program in the high school. I want to help educate my fellow peers on how serious teen suicide is. We need to talk about it in order for it to get better. I have gone through a lot of trouble trting to get this program in the school because like many others they fell if they dont talk about it then it wont happen. I feel that it is very improtant for parents to talk to there children about also. I understand tenagers are always pushing there parents away. I am one myself but dont let that stop you from trying to talk to them. THIS IS A VERY SEIROUS SUBJECT!
i feel like killing myself 24/7 but the only thing that stops me is my family i think "wat would they do after i did it? would they kill themselves too? or will i be alone?"
A kid at my school commited sucide, so that was a bit shocking.
This tragedy has hit home for me. My 19 y/o son, Joshua, was found dead in Amsler Park/McGregor, Texas on February 16, 2006. McGregor police did not investigate!
www.americaiswatching.org (Joshua Robinson www.realcrimes.com (Joshua Robinson)
Both have attached documents, including a petition/comment section, and persons you can contact to get justice.
Please take the time to at least take a look at this story.
I'm not the only mother, and we, as a group, are shouting out for the truth…for resolution…for justice…for peace of mind!

Diana Vreeland, renowned editor-in-chief of Vogue, and fashion editor of Harper's Bazaar, was a dominant force in the fashion industry of the mid-twentieth century. She was born Diana Dalziel in Paris in 1903, the daughter of British stockbroker Frederick Young Dalziel and Emily Key Hoffman, an American. In 1924, she married Thomas Reed Vreeland (1899-1906), a banker and international financier. The Vreeland marriage produced two sons, Thomas Reed, Jr. and Frederick Dalziel.
Although born into a wealthy and socially prominent family, Vreeland worked for most of her life. From the late 1920s to the mid-1930s, she ran a small lingerie business in London. After the Vreelands returned to the United States, she began writing a freelance column "Why don't you?" for Harper's Bazaar. In 1937, Vreeland was hired for the as fashion editor and she remained at Harper's Bazaar for twenty-five years. She resigned in March of 1962, disappointed that she was not asked to succeed Carmel Snow as editor-in-chief.
Vreeland's next career move was to Vogue, the leading rival of Harper's Bazaar. In an article in the New York Times announcing Vreeland's appointment as associate editor, Carrie Donovan wrote, "Mrs. Vreeland is the most respected editor in the fashion business today. Her appearance at a fashion show is a the highest accolade a designer can hope for. ... Along with the late Carmel Snow, editor-in-chief of Harper's Bazaar, Mrs. Vreeland is credited with shaping the image of the magazine and, in turn, the looks of thousands of women." (New York Times, March 28, 1962).
At Vogue, she quickly rose to the position of editor-in-chief. She put her own personal stamp on the magazine and continued to make headlines in the fashion and business world. However, her personal style and extravagant spending conflicted with the priorities of the magazine's publisher. She was replaced as editor-in-chief in 1971, retaining the position of consultant.
During the final stage in her very long career, Vreeland revived the dormant Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Under her guidance and patronage, the Costume Institute would launch several spectacular exhibits that attracted the social elite and received high profile publicity. Among her Costume Institute triumphs were "The World of Balenciaga" in 1972 and "Romantic and Glamorous Hollywood Design" in 1974.
During the 1980s, Vreeland published two books, Allure (co-authored with Christopher Hemphill) and her autobiography, D.V..
Vreeland died in 1989, in New York City after a long period of illness.

How important is a common vocabulary for sharing ideas, and how do we arrive at one?
This Live Conversation will start on November 3, at 2pm ET / 11am PT.
Do we need to all be "on the same page" to have productive conversations? Do we have to use the same language or talk about ideas in the same way? What are some examples of vocabulary that's divisive, rather than helpful (e.g. "death panels")?
Closing Statement from Erin McKean
Thanks so much for all the great stories and suggestions -- such a big question can't be answered in an hour, but it's wonderful to be able to talk about it with the TED community! For more discussions follow my Twitter at @emckean. Thanks everyone!

Nov 3 2011: In my world, personal and cultural perception is what defines the underlying context of a language as a mean of communication. What we hear or understand from a language is our learned making perception, personal and cultural, and the underlying connection of that perception is emotional in one way or another. We try to communicate what we perceive in our world and people agree or disagree depending on how their perception lies closer or not in our own perception. What I have observed is that the underlying context of a dialogue and communication is fed by emotion hence the reaction on something said a certain way. There is an underling current in human communication that creates either conflict or agreement. I think that the individuality of who each person is is distinctive on its own. What we seek is agreement on our perception or rather an understanding on a human level.

A beautiful and exotic name, Adalia really is fit for nobility. Adalia is primarily used as a girl's name now, but it's biblical origins pegged it as a boy's, so you'd be going Old Testament unisex with this name. It's culturally ambiguous— also showing up in in German, Spanish and Hawaiian— so it's a lovely name for a multicultural girl or a future world traveler.

A Good Baby: Part Southern Gothic, Part Tone Poem, Part Folkloric Mystery; A Clueless French-Swiss Film
"American By any reckoning, Part Southern The film revolves
Independent Visions," which kicked off early this year with Lodge Kerrigan's
Claire Dolan and continues this week (Dec. 1-7) with Katherine Dieckmann's
A Good Baby, is a quarterly series that gives one-week runs at the Walter
Reade Theater to independent films which so far haven't attracted the sponsorship
of a distributor. As such, it's a moderately happy solution to an increasingly
unhappy problem: While the Amerindie film boom began the 90s bristling with
promises of artistic intelligence and adventurousness, it ended the decade mired
in formula and marketing-think, with various interestingly ambitious films left
out in the cold. The loss in such a situation, of course, is not just the films
that fall through the cracks, but the way that young filmmakers, especially,
are more and more obliged to think in terms of what will sell rather than what's
risky, offbeat, innovative.
A Good Baby marches to its own drummer. Set in the deep mountain hollows
of western North Carolina, its story opens with a scene of cryptic, Flannery
O'Connor-like menace in which a traveling salesman (David Strathairn) looks
upon a backwoods girlfriend's increasingly evident pregnancy with more
malevolence than fondness. A bit later, the film finds a young man named Toker
(Henry Thomas) trailing along the back roads carrying a newborn infant. Offering
little in the way of explanation, he appears to want to find the baby a mother;
among those who reject his entreaties, Josephine Priddy (Cara Seymour) seems
like she might be able to scare up in interest in Toker, if not in his charge.
Meanwhile, the salesman we saw in the first scene begins to haunt the valley,
asking questions about a baby and the man carrying him.
gothic, part tone poem, part folkloric mystery cum downbeat romance, A Good
Baby poses itself the tricky task not so much of straddling genres as of
bridging two worlds, one belonging to the real-life Appalachians, the other
to myth and dream. Adapting Leon Rooke's novel, Dieckmann creates a form
of stylized dialogue that's impressive for being both undeniably literary
and convincingly natural. With the help of ace cinematographer Jim Denault,
she pulls off a similar balancing act by visualizing the tale's mountain
domain in a way that's strikingly gorgeous yet never prettified, sensuously
evocative without ever getting dramatically rhetorical. The fact that the film's
way-off-the-interstate setting is constantly, almost tactilely believable, yet
you'd be hard-pressed to say in which decade it takes place (any one between
the 60s and now, perhaps), says loads about the subtle stylistic alchemy Dieckmann
around an image that seems to belong more to the deep psyche than to any movie
I can recall: a man cradling a baby, in a posture that is almost maternal. Obviously
this gender-flip of the traditional Madonna and Child will startle and resonate
with some viewers more than others, and even admirers may have to allow that
the story, particularly in its abrupt final section, doesn't avoid the
pitfall of occasional sentimental softness. Even so, Dieckmann's enterprise
has an extraordinarily solid cornerstone in Henry Thomas' performance as
Toker. Formerly the kid in E.T. and soon to be seen costarring in All
the Pretty Horses, Thomas brings an absolute and greatly clarifying conviction
to a part that might have begun and ended as a cipher. There's something
pained about the character he creates, like a wound from the forgotten past.
Yet it is just this, perhaps, that allows him to succor one who now endures
his own former vulnerability–a strange beneficence that gives A Good
Baby both its mystery and its heart.
By any reckoning,
Part Southern

(Titre Provisoire)
directed by Samira
If you were Think about Yup, Berlin-Cinema The auteurs Godard and Berlin-Cinema
a first-time filmmaker wanting to follow in the moody modernist footsteps of
Jean-Luc Godard and Wim Wenders with a film meditating on absence, cities and
cinema itself, what better collaborators to invite aboard than Godard and Wenders,
that proposition for two seconds, especially after seeing Samira Gloor-Fadel's
Berlin-Cinema (Titre Provisoire), and you're bound to realize what
a nonstarter it is. For one thing, the French-Swiss production says nothing
about the single question it most needs to answer: Why would cine-celebs like
Wim and Jean-Luc add their presences to the film of an unknown? Gloor-Fadel
perhaps wants us to assume that the ummistakable brilliance of her project is
responsible, but in fact that's the one thing we don't assume.
Second, doesn't the filmmaker realize that her premise ultimately can only
underscore her own lack of originality, and the fatigue of the form she means
to celebrate?
is another film that's both impeccably intellectual and essentially clueless.
Anyone who has seen recent Godard films like JLG par JLG and Wenders
works such as Tokyo-Ga and Wings of Desire will instantly recognize
the amalgamated pastiche cum homage that Gloor-Fadel delivers here, although
she departs from her sources by not using her own narration. Rather, we hear
recurrent off-camera musings by Godard, along with various soundtrack excerpts,
while the camera broodingly contemplates present-day Berlin and occasionally
drops in on Wenders, who muses on-camera as he talks with students, tours a
building site with an architect and directs the abysmal Faraway, So Close!
(Question: this Wenders footage dates from circa '92–what took
so long?)
come and go, talking of Antonioni–plus Fassbinder, Beckett, et al.–but
mainly riding familiar hobbyhorses. Still, these guys are great musers, and
fans should be alerted that the film contains choice material from both. Godard
is his usual gnomic, aphoristic self. "I don't think film is for seeing,"
he says, "it's for thinking." And: "The image isn't
what's seen, it's what's formed." Wenders shows his maturity:
"For a long time I considered writing something opposed to my main work,
which is creating images. For me, writing was always the obstacle, a necessary
evil… I don't feel like that any more. Today writing and words are…allies.
Words can capture what's real, can capture poetry and life, better than
images can."
Wenders are keenly aware that film is about to disappear. Both, in fact, have
taken the lead in advocating the use and exploration of video technology. Berlin-Cinema
listens respectfully to such advice without having the least interest in heeding
it; Gloor-Fadel's images (black and white mixed with color), which handsomely
remind us of the lyrical materiality of film, have an elegaic feel simply for
being celluloid. The modernist esthetic she evokes is similarly shrouded in
mournful retrospection. As Godard says, "In 50 years, the cinema we've
known will be like the Dead Seas Scrolls." As if that's not already
the case.
(Titre Provisoire) will be shown at the American Museum of the Moving Image
Sat.-Sun., Dec. 9-10, along with Walter Ruttman's 1927 Berlin, Symphony
of a City (Sat.) and Wenders' Wings of Desire (Sat. & Sun.).

Hard Day's Night
directed by Richard
Among the things Such withholding Likewise, the A Hard Day's Technically,
that struck me in seeing A Hard Day's Night (which goes into rerelease
this week) for the first time in many years: You never hear the word "Beatles"
at any point in the film. The name, in fact, is withheld entirely until the
end of the tv concert that climaxes the movie, when the group takes one of its
trademark from-the-waist bows and a gigantic BEATLES sign lights up behind them.
We then see the name twice more in quick succession (on publicity photos and
on the helicopter that, in the film's epiphanic final shot, transports
the band heavenwards), but it is that first appearance that has the impact of
a spiritual coup.
touches on the primordial significance of naming, and in turn on the
fact that, though commonly regarded as an uncommonly successful pop group, the
Beatles were, in essence, a religious phenomenon. The name, the thing that most
directly connects the worshiper to the adored (the four-in-one), appears only
at the end, to fix and seal the drama of ecstatic longing; such is the secondary
status accorded the visual. Until then, and forever after, the real name
remains private because it belongs to the individual fan alone; inscribed on
the heart, it is uttered subvocally at every moment of the film, "Beatles…Beatles…Beatles…"
Beatles themselves utter a private language. The word, of course, is love, same
as it was 2000 years ago, same as it ever was. Yet inasmuch as every word is
a betrayal, a shell, they relay their meaning in nonsense, puns, jokes, funny
voices and, of course, songs and singing that still sound like the very definition
of joyous, youthful exaltation. Never mind what the calendar says; the real
Harmonic Convergence happened in 1964, on the radio.
Night by all rights should have been little more than a shoddy knockoff.
Shot quickly in the spring of '64 for $500,000, it emerged as an instant
classic due to a combination of elements and talents (including director Richard
Lester and screenwriter Alun Owen) that may as well be described as miraculous.
Seen today, it's very much an artifact of its time. I hadn't recalled
how extensive the World War II references are, or that Paul's obnoxious
grandfather is an IRA man–"a soldier of the Republic," as he
cussedly puts it.
the film belongs to that brief but glorious moment (the early 60s) between the
arrival of the lightweight, mobile 35 mm camera and the predominance of color;
its sinuous black and white gives us the Beatles at their most iconic and mod.
While A Hard Day's Night shared an era with Breathless, The
400 Blows and other masterpieces made under the same technical circumstances,
Lester's film is perhaps best equipped for immortality. It's my hunch,
at least, that long after the work of Godard & Co. has become the Dead Sea
Scrolls, the Beatles will still be the Living Word, as fresh and ineffable as
any four voices ever uplifted in harmony.

How to Make DIY Concrete Countertops
Imperfectly Polished
When we took a look at Jessie's Bright White Kitchen Reno last week, we were in awe of the concrete countertops she and her husband installed. Lucky for us, Jessie shared the process so now we can make our own!
I should definitely point out right here at the top that this is not a DIY for the faint of heart. There's a lot of planning, some heavy tool usage, hard core concrete mixing, and plenty of heavy lifting. Still, if you're game, you'll get a gorgeous look and for a fairly low price.
After a great deal of research, Jessie and her husband decided to use Quickrete countertop mix concrete. (Did you even know such a thing existed? I certainly didn't!) This is not an item that's normally carried at a hardware store, so Jessie special ordered the mix from Home Depot. Along with the concrete mix, the couple purchased melamine boards to use as their forms. The melamine are smooth white boards, perfect for use as the forms for the countertops. With all the supplies purchased, Jessie's husband got to work creating the forms into which they would pour the concrete.
With the forms together, it was time to mix up the concrete and start pouring! Jessie and her husband rented a concrete mixer from the hardware store to cut the work a little bit. Then, after getting past a little difficulty with the consistency of the concrete, they were able to pour into their forms. Once the concrete was poured, they leveled it out in the forms and then let them cure for a few days.
After the concrete had cured, the couple removed the forms and started the process of smoothing out. First they filled in all the bubble holes with a little concrete filler on their fingers. After the holes were filled and dried, they sanded the concrete slabs to a smooth finish. Once sanded, they were able to heave the big slabs into place in the kitchen and set them in place. Once installed, Jessie and husband applied three coats of high glass concrete sealer and then a food safe wax.
This was a very abbreviated version of all of the work that went into creating these concrete countertops. You can check out the multiple detailed posts on Jessie's blog, Imperfectly Polished, to learn more about creating your own counters:

I wish I had the guts to try this.
We did the same thing in our kitchen a few months ago...it was a serious undertaking but I do love the results. Very natural looking (which fits our farm life) and you can't beat the price (which was also key for us). We had to pour ours in place since it was winter and our garage could not maintain a temperature high enough for curing...which had the advantage of not having to move slabs around and forming perfectly to our uneven plaster walls. But sanding them in place is a SERIOUSLY messy job, and you also can't guarantee a perfectly level surface since you're not flipping them out of a form. Your countertops look beautiful...especially to me because I know how much work it took! Hooray for concrete!
DIY concrete countertops? No, thank you....some things are much better left to professionals. The pebbled surface looks like a harbor for foodborne germs.
Props to them, but I think I'd just hire a professional and go back to sewing pillows and painting things from craigslist.
Great idea, i dont think i would be able to manage it! great work to those who can
Any idea this type of cement/concrete be sold in Malaysia? I really wanna do it myself.
A friend took a class on concrete countertop fabrication, wanting concrete for her own kitchen, but to build up our confidence we did an outdoor bbq area first and that helped us considerably in refining our skills and figuring out how to work together as a team to get it done quickly and evenly. Her kitchen turned out beautifully as did the one above!
I love concrete countertops. Thanks for the honesty that it isn't exactly the easiest DIY project, but can be done. Now the idea has been planted...
I poured a concrete hearth a couple of weeks ago using the same method. You want to be sure to vibrate your forms. You can use a sander (with no sandpaper in it), and run it along the side of the forms. The bubbles will come to the surface. I didn't do this enough.
You can use regular sandpaper, but if you're going to knock over corners, you'll be replacing the paper every minute or so. I'm looking into automotive sanding materials next (I'm still working on the finish).
There's plenty of YouTube tutorials on this as well.
Also, I just used 4000 PSI QuickCrete, acrylic fortifier (tells you how much of it to use on the bottle), and a cup of Portland Cement per 80lb bag. I colored it a little darker grey by using the liquid colorant. All of it was in-stock at my local Home Depot.
Sorry about the multiple posts. I also meant to mention that I just used mineral spirits for my release agent. Last post, I promise.
Is the backsplash also concrete? It is difficult to tell from the photo.
Yes, the backsplash is also concrete and we added a white, ceramic subway tile above.
I wonder if you can do the same thing and put crushed glass in...?
Love love love this! My husband and I may consider doing this since we're not a fan of our counters in the kitchen, and we like a little DIY in our lives!
Kevin, I believe that yes, you can put glass - they actually do that kind of thing ALL the time on the DIY network to add interest. I've seen them do beer bottles and wine bottles, and the rings from the necks are very cool looking!
A few notes from the concrete canoe days:
1) Adding more acrylic admixture (Acrylic Fortifier, Acryl 60, Xypex, etc.) will increase the flexural strength of your countertop, decreasing the likelihood of cracking while you handle it (for the same reason, I would let it cure at least 2 weeks before installing if I had the option at all; maintain humidity throughout). The limit to your ability to increase strength with acrylic is the water in the emulsion (note that you should subtract the water in the acrylic from the water you add to your mix; the product data should tell you the solids content, assume the rest is water); the stickiness of the mix - I have made mixes that couldn't be removed from oiled plate glass, so do a test piece first (on the other hand, if you want to embed glass, this is helpful); and the acceptance of acid stains, if you plan to use these, do a test first; we didn't have any trouble with integral colors.
2) While there are practical limits (i.e., you don't want your countertop to be "soft" and dent, so our 60 pcf canoe mixes would be excessive), there are good lightweight aggregates out there to reduce your weight from 140 pcf to somewhere in the 80-100 pcf range. Besides traditional expanded shales, which you should be able to get from a ready mix supplier, I am particularly fond of prepuff styrofoam (the raw material used to make styrofoam cups). Beanbag filler will also work, although its coarse enough that I would probably mix the working surface without and just add it to the backup mix.
3) To reduce the elbow grease required to clean up hardened concrete off your tools, fill a 5 gallon bucket with 1 gallon of white vinegar and 2 or 3 gallons of water and let them soak overnight, then brush them off with a wire brush. Put a light coat of oil (WD40, vegetable oil, motor oil, doesn't mater) on the steel tools to keep them from rusting; aluminum and mag won't need the oil. Wear gloves if you don't want to smell like a giant pickle for the rest of the day, but your cleanup operation won't be hazardous or toxic to people or pets.
One more - for sanding large, flat areas - get a sanding belt of the desired grit, cut it to make a long strip, and staple it to a straight 2x4. The long strip will help you avoid gouging, and the sanding belt has a cloth backing, which will hold up much longer than paper.
Tulsa_Retro or Bread Engineer can you pls give proportions, or percentages, to your concrete countertop mix. The only formulas I can find call for materials that have to be either special ordered from a big box or shipped from a specialty supplier like Cheng's. I'm in Hawaii and shipping is outrageous. Mahalo!
I've been a masonry/concrete instructor for 14 years,have been raised in the trade, I incorporated concrete countertops in my classes 8 years ago and with with plenty of hands on teaching with my students, I have created a mix and have done endless variations with counter tops,from basic tops to tables to head stones. to be able to learn how to do this is a win win situation for any one that wants to learn for their own benefit or a business,the styles and creations are endless. Good luck to you all that are doing this,by the way I can and will help you out. Al

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Louisiana is expanding its efforts to ease the process for adults to return to college and for community college students to seamlessly transfer to universities.
The Board of Regents is growing its websites for the Center for Adult Learning, nicknamed CALL, and for the new Transfer Degree Guarantee program.
The Advocate reports CALL started more than three years ago, but it is just beginning to expand more statewide after initially operating only as a pilot program within Northwestern State University in Natchitoches and Bossier Parish Community College.
Now CALL has expanded to Southeastern Louisiana University, McNeese State University and more with 20 online degree programs offered overall.

Those look good! I will have to try them. I am finding lots of recipes using the coconut flour I have. I loved the biscuits and I am sure I will love these cookies, they look delicious.
# Posted By Miss Rachel | 10/8/09 4:28 PM
these were pretty tasty! i added 3 extra tbsp sugar and doubled the vanilla. i really like them and plan on docing in my blog. thanks for the recipe!
# Posted By liz | 1/29/10 6:41 PM
These cookies are totally amazing. I made them once, and I had to double to recipe the next time as EVERYONE wanted fourths of them! TOTALLY DELICIOUS. And soooo easy to make. I wrote down the recipe to go and make them again. Yum yum, is what I call them. Delicious!
# Posted By Miss Rachel | 2/8/10 3:43 PM
I made these today with a couple more changes that I really liked. I added 1/2 tsp. of espresso powder to the cocoa. Toasted the walnuts before adding to the batter. Doubled the coconut oil, sugar and vanilla. Baked for 9 mins. to keep moist. Very decadant!
# Posted By Teresa | 4/5/10 8:28 PM
Mine turned out a bit flat and cake like. Any Ideas what I did wrong?
# Posted By Cally | 5/20/10 11:27 AM
The cookies are cakey, but as far as flat goes...did you flatten the batter or did you just leave it in undisturbed in a mound? The cookies will spread a bit during baking so you don't want to flatten them.
# Posted By Sarah | 5/21/10 6:21 PM
EXCELLENT COOKIES!!!!! I am not a health food person at all... but I have gotten so fat I had to do something about it...recently lost 25lbs....my secret now is just lowering my carbs. I LOVE coconut flour...I made these cookies...doubled the vanilla and used Erythritol as the sweeter (same measurements as sugar)...used a TBS more that the recipe called for.......these cookies were soooooo good!!!
# Posted By LISA | 12/26/11 10:17 AM
Hi! Do you think it would be acceptable to use a natural sweetener like stevia to replace the sugar?
# Posted By Renee | 10/2/12 5:20 PM
so I just made them and the dough has the consistency of cake batter.. should I add more coconut flour or is this to be expected.
# Posted By audra | 10/4/12 7:03 PM
It's fine. It's not supposed to be a dough, but a very thick "batter".

Will This Downgrade Hurt Dollar General (DG) Today? (Update)
Update (10:00 a.m.): Updated with Wednesday market open information.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- BMO Capital reduced its target price on Dollar General (DG) to $65, reduced its estimates through 2015 and set an "outperform" rating. The firm noted the company could face increased competition from Wal-Mart (WMT).
"We having growing concerns that the heightened promotional and traffic driving tactics employed by Walmart and the grocery and drug store channels we continue to observe on key grocery, drug, and consumable
branded items will remain unabated into 2014," BMO wrote in a research note. "If correct, DG could be affected, placing further pressure on gross margin rate."
The stock was falling 1.43% to $57.19 shortly after the market opened on Wednesday.Must Read: 3 Services Stocks Nudging The Sector Higher ---------- Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates DOLLAR GENERAL CORP as a "buy" with a ratings score of A-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate DOLLAR GENERAL CORP (DG) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, growth in earnings per share, increase in net income, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and solid stock price performance. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows low profit margins." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 2.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 10.5%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- DOLLAR GENERAL CORP has improved earnings per share by 19.4% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, DOLLAR GENERAL CORP increased its bottom line by earning $2.86 versus $2.22 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($3.21 versus $2.86).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the Multiline Retail industry average, but is less than that of the S&P 500. The net income increased by 14.3% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $207.69 million to $237.39 million.
- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 25.95% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. We feel that the stock's sharp appreciation over the last year has driven it to a price level which is now somewhat expensive compared to the rest of its industry. The other strengths this company shows, however, justify the higher price levels.
- The current debt-to-equity ratio, 0.55, is low and is below the industry average, implying that there has been successful management of debt levels. Even though the company has a strong debt-to-equity ratio, the quick ratio of 0.10 is very weak and demonstrates a lack of ability to pay short-term obligations.
