Gotta go something with it
I like the animation style. But, like the title says, there is just "Nothing" here.
You just gotta turn "Nothing" into "something"!

Well , I got what the title say : nothing
You perfectly reached the goal of the title by showing me a white nothing end. 1 star for that , 1 for animation intro and another 1 star for a zombie on a unicycle.

While methodic doubt has a nature, one need not hold that knowledge is impossible in order to apply the method of doubt. Indeed, Descartes' attempt to apply the method of doubt to the existence of himself spawned the proof of his famous saying, "Cogito ergo sum" (I think, therefore I am). That is, Descartes tried to doubt his own existence, but found that even his doubting showed that he existed, since he could not doubt if he did not exist.
Roger Scruton
Modern Philosophy: An Introduction and Survey
They turn the light off, and its white globe glows
an instant and then dissolves, like a tablet
in a glass of darkness. Then a rising.
The hotel walls shoot up into heaven's darkness.
Their movements have grown softer, and they sleep,
but their most secret thoughts begin to meet
like two colors that meet and run together
on the wet paper in a schoolboy's painting.
It is dark and silent. The city however has come nearer
tonight. With its windows turned off. Houses have come.
They stand packed and waiting very near,
a mob of people with blank faces.
Tomas Tranströmer
Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their own customs, privileges, or beliefs. This state of mind is not common, but it is essential for right thinking…
Leo Tolstoy
Bound for your distant home
you were leaving alien lands.
In an hour as sad as I've known
I wept over your hands.
My hands were numb and cold,
still trying to restrain
you, whom my hurt told
never to end this pain.
But you snatched your lips away
from our bitterest kiss.
You invoked another place
than the dismal exile of this.
You said, 'When we meet again,
in the shadow of olive-trees,
we shall kiss, in a love without pain,
under cloudless infinities.'
You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing, and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To fling my arms wide
In some place of the sun,
To whirl and to dance
Till the white day is done.
Then rest at cool evening
Beneath a tall tree
While night comes on gently,
Dark like me-
That is my dream!
To fling my arms wide
In the face of the sun,
Dance! Whirl! Whirl!
Till the quick day is done.
Rest at pale evening…
A tall, slim tree…
Night coming tenderly
Black like me.
Langston Hughes
Tomber amoureux. To fall in love. Does it occur suddenly or gradually? If gradually, when is the moment "already"? I would fall in love with a monkey made of rags. With a plywood squirrel. With a botanical atlas. With an oriole. With a ferret. With a marten in a picture. With the forest one sees to the right when riding in a cart to Jaszuny. With a poem by a little-known poet. With human beings whose names still move me. And always the object of love was enveloped in erotic fantasy or was submitted, as in Stendhal, to a "cristallisation," so it is frightful to think of that object as it was, naked among the naked things, and of the fairy tales about it one invents. Yes, I was often in love with something or someone. Yet falling in love is not the same as being able to love. That is something different.
Czesław Miłosz
There is no possibility of remembering what has been found and understood, and later repeating it to oneself. It disappears as a dream disappears. Perhaps it is all nothing but a dream.
P.D. Ouspensky, A New Model of the Universe
Par les soirs bleus d'été, j'irai dans les sentiers,
Picoté par les blés, fouler l'herbe menue :
Rêveur, j'en sentirai la fraîcheur à mes pieds.
Je laisserai le vent baigner ma tête nue.
Je ne parlerai pas, je ne penserai rien :
Mais l'amour infini me montera dans l'âme,
Et j'irai loin, bien loin, comme un bohémien,
Par la nature, heureux comme avec une femme.

For added security the drive will erase itself if someone forces entry and after 3 incorrect PIN attempts it locks up.

Over the years, Dr. Davenport has written a number of articles to help address the needs of children, teens, adults, and families struggling with many aspects of life. This index of articles is designed to serve as a launching point to help you start down the path of finding the help you desire and deserve. Enjoy!

What Difficult Change are You Currently Facing? Here's Hope & Help!
In the rainforest, something is always growing, and the most growth occurs after some immediate conflict, the resulting change, and even more conflict.
The same is true for us when we learn how to endure the conflicts of change and experience lasting growth.

ADD/ADHD is one of the most researched and most misunderstood diagnoses. Confusion occurs largely because the terms "attention deficit" and "hyperactivity" describe only the surface features of this challenge: these are just the tip of the iceberg: the symptoms are much broader and deeper than this.
Permanent link to this article: http://www.drmontedavenport.com/adhd/
Anxiety, Mood & Adjustment Challenges
When considering the difficulties you, your child, or your teen are having, it is important to contemplate all possible causes including anxiety, adjustment, and mood disorders. Children and teens who struggle with these challenges may have trouble with school performance and behavior. They may even appear distracted, impulsive, and hyperactive. Adults struggling with these difficulties can struggle too.
Permanent link to this article: http://www.drmontedavenport.com/anxiety-depression-mood/
Behavior & Discipline
At home and in the classroom, structured behavioral techniques and discipline are proven successful. Combined with flexibility that adjusts for the child's unique difficulties associated with inconsistent mental effort and variable self-monitoring, flexible structuring is an attitude that focuses on addressing problems instead of bemoaning them. In this series of articles, Dr. Davenport provides helpful suggestions for many common behavior struggles, as well as, recommendations for when to use token economies, response cost, and natural/logical consequences.

Educational Care
The child or teen with attention, learning, and executive functioning struggles has difficulty learning can benefit from an education plan that addresses two specific needs:
(1) structuring aimed at helping her build her own internal structured approach to problem solving.
(2) flexibility of classroom accommodations and auxilliary aids to support her unique set of executive skill weaknesses.
This set of articles outlines ways to help your struggling child or teen by meeting both of these needs.

"Executive Functions" are not Parties for CEOs!
Executive functions are a set of abilities that help us manage our time, energy, talents, and resources in order to achieve our goals. These skills involve planning, problem solving, working memory, stopping behavior, self-monitoring, and controlling emotions in order to achieve goals and not procrastinate. Here's the good news: each of these abilities can be identified and improved through structured counseling and coaching techniques..

Executive Functions: Cognitive-Behavioral Strategies Can Help!
Studying without a plan and without organization is like trying to eat a pizza that's not cut. It's overwhelming! Where do you start? These active learning strategies give your child the ability to break her studies down into small manageable steps just like a pizza cutter allows her to cut a pizza into smaller easier to handle pieces.

Goals for Success!
Striving for success in life without established goals is like trying to climb a mountain without a well thought out plan and the necessary tools. It's overwhelming! Where do you start? How will you ever reach the top? It's hard to imagine. In this set of articles, Dr. Davenport outlines ways adults and students can develop improved goal directed effort.

Parenting: Overcoming Shame and Becoming Vulnerable to Help Your Struggling Child or Teen
In her book Daring Greatly, University of Houston shame and vulnerability expert Brene Brown, Ph.D. calls parenting "a shame and judgment minefield." Her assessment is especially true for those of us who are raising children and teens struggling with ADHD and related executive functioning challenges. In this heart-felt article, fellow-struggler Dr Davenport provides practical advice to help you overcome the shame and stigma of ADHD so you can vulnerably address your child's needs, encourage her strengths, and celebrate her daily successes!

VIDEO: Citizen Scientists Aid Researchers in Studying Camel Crickets
They may bounce really high and look strange, but don't worry, they are harmless...they even scavenge for crumbs off of your floor! A continental-scale citizen science campaign was launched in order to study the spread and frequency of native and nonnative camel crickets in human homes across North America.
Mary Jane Epps, PhD, an author of the paper, went into more detail about the study and significance of citizen scientists in an interview with Katie-Leigh Corder, web managing editor.

Race to Rio, brief visit in Port Elizabeth, South Africa
Recently, Brave Yacht '2041' made an unscheduled visit to Port Elizabeth, South Africa due to unfavorable weather on their Race to Rio for the 3rd Earth Summit, Rio +20. Ten years ago, Robert Swan was given a global mission to " inspire young people, industry, and business on the issues of energy conservation, renewable energy, and to promote the positive roles individuals and business can play in the road to world sustainability." From this, the Voyage for Cleaner Energy began and the yacht and crew have circumnavigated the globe to share this mission. "The Voyage for Cleaner Energy yacht relies on a bank of eight solar panels, two wind vanes, a biodiesel fueled engine and alcohol stove to run all the electronics, fridge, freezer and leisure items onboard."
Upon arrival in Port Elizabeth, they were kindly greeted by locals, supporters and press. Alan Straton of MyPE.co.za, had a chance to sit down with our Captian, Conor Fogerty and learn more about 2041 and its focus on renewable energy, positive leadership and recycling.
Article: 2041 Voyage for Cleaner Energy Makes Unscheduled PE Stop
While the crew was in Port Elizabeth, they welcomed a new addition, Robert Swan's son, Barney Swan. Barney, a recent graduate from St. Augustine's College in Cairns, Australia is joining the Voyage for Cleaner Energy for her journey across the Atlantic until it arrives in Rio de Janeiro in June. There, he will reunite with his father and join him to greet world leaders and carry his message to inspire future generations.

Trade reform in a corrupt economy : A note
AbstractWe construct a general equilibrium model and analyze the effectiveness of trade reform in a distorted economy where distortion exists in form of bureaucratic corruption that arises because of trade protection at the border. In this kleptocratic set up, intermediaries are employed in order to run off from paying a part of import tariff. We use HOSV kind of framework to prove that whether trade liberalization necessarily helps reducing corruption activities and to check what happens to the production of commodities.

Archaeology Professor Digs for Information about Mayan Caves
Even as a child,
Holley Moyeswas fascinated by caves.
Family vacations included stops at Mammoth Cave in Kentucky and Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico so Moyes could tour the natural wonders hidden underground.
Moyes transformed her youthful interest in the sites into a career studying the archaeology of religion, a relatively new subdiscipline in the field. Moyes, an archaeology professor, is researching how caves were used in Mesoamerica as sacred or religious spaces. The notion of early humans living in caves is a myth, Moyes said. Their homes were usually rock shelters. Dark zones of caves were almost always used as religious or sacred spaces, and sometimes as burial grounds.
Her book, with the working title "Sacred Darkness: A Global Perspective on the Use of Caves as Sacred Space," is currently under review.
"Caves are one of archaeology's best resources because of their excellent preservation - but they are also one of the most misunderstood," Moyes explained. "The idea of the 'cave man' living in his nice warm cave house has gripped the imagination of both the public and archaeologists themselves, so this image has had a major influence on how caves have been interpreted. My volume presents an entirely different picture of cave use."
Like an expansive cave, Moyes' path to archaeology had plenty of turns. Moyes earned her bachelor's degree in theater from Florida State University, studied under the late-Sanford Meisner and went on to open and manage a New York City theater company for a decade.
She decided to change careers and got an associate's degree in dental hygiene in 1994, though on the first day of class she knew it wasn't what she wanted to do with her life. A career counselor she consulted suggested archaeology, which she began to pursue.
Her first project was working in caves with the Belize Valley Archaeological Reconnaissance in western Belize. She wrote a paper about the experience and sent it to Jaime Awe, president of the Institute of Archaeology. He suggested she write her master's thesis on the Actun Tunichil Muknal, a cave in that had just been discovered.
The cave hadn't been looted, giving archaeologists a pristine site to study. Only as the research progressed did Moyes realize the significance.
"This was probably one of the most amazing sites I may ever work on," she said. "This is the kind of site archaeologists dream of."
She earned her master's degree in anthropology in 2001 from Florida Atlantic University. In 2006, she got her doctorate from State University of New York at Buffalo in a National Science Foundation-sponsored Integrated Graduate and Education, Research, and Training program that fostered connections between Geographic Information Sciences and archaeology.
Moyes joined UC Merced in January after teaching as a visiting professor at New Mexico State University. Moyes and her partner, Mark S. Aldenderfer, dean of the School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts, were drawn to the University of California system in general because of its excellence and UC Merced in particular because of its focus on interdisciplinary research.
More work still needs to be done in the caves of Western Belize. Moyes plans to head back there later this year to conduct research. One project involves studying how religion may have played a role in the collapse of Mayan society.
Following UC Merced's interdisciplinary calling, Moyes hopes to launch projects that cross academic borders, boost UC Merced's recognition in archaeological fields and include all her skills - even theater.

Gretchen Faust (BA, MFA, M.Th.,PP, RCST) began practising yoga in 1989 with Carolyn Oberst in New York City. Further study at the Jivamukti Yoga Cente and the Astanga Yoga Nilayam, as well as with Dr. Alison West, led her to begin teaching in New York in 1994. She then studied with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India before choosing to settle in Totnes, where she established The Forge Yoga Centre in 1999. She hold degrees in both Art History and Fine Arts, as well as being qualified in Swedish massage, Shiatsu, Polarity Therapy, Chinese Herbal Medicine and Craniosacral Therapy. She has studied for 12 years and completed and three year teacher training in Kum Nye with John Peacock and has studied Buddhist thought and practice informally for 22 years and under the aegis of Stephen Batchelor since 1997. She currently teaches classes and retreats in Kum Nye (Tibetan Yoga), Yoga, Pranayama, Buddhist thought and practices, and Astanga Yoga. Her personal practice and teaching have also been as informed by her experience as a classical musician and a visual artist, as well as by her love of cooking, gardening and birds. As an artist, she had been represented by Pat Hearn in NYC and is currently represented by and exhibits regularly at greengrassi in London.
Tom has practiced yoga and meditation since 1997 after an introduction in Japan. During the last 10 years Tom has studied under Maartin Vermaase, completing four years of teacher training through the British Wheel of Yoga in 2007. Tom's practice and teaching are rooted in Buddhist philosophy, focussing on developing a subtle awareness of the breath, body and mind, to allow yoga to become a path of meditation, healing and joy.
Having practised yoga for 12 years, I have felt the positive effect it has had on my body and more importantly my mind. It was in 2007 that I discovered Kundalini yoga and quickly realised how powerful this practice was. For the first time I realised the connection between the practice of yoga, raised consciousness and heightened awareness. It has unlocked my mind and opened me to a world of self-healing and creative abundance. I continue to feel the transformative effect it has on all aspects of my life.
I completed my Teacher Training Level I (200 hours) and Level II (1001 days) with the Amrit Nam Sarovar School in France under the guidance and teachings of Karta Singh. I have also completed my Conscious Pregnancy Training, with Carolyn Cowan (80 hrs).
More recently I have set up a Level 1 Teacher Training here in Devon, and I am currently studying to become a teacher trainer. I am part of the Amrit Nam Sarovar Committee and contribute to the planning and delivery of its Teens curriculum.
Kate started teaching in 2001 and soon established herself as a leading teacher in the major London studios. In 2005 she discovered Anusara yoga. Kate aims to make the ancient teachings of yoga relevant to modern life, and in each class or workshop you can expect to find a key philosophical theme woven into a flowing practice with clear alignment instructions and playful challenges. In addition to teaching yoga, Kate runs a learning programme for budding social entrepreneurs in Devon. She lives on the edge of Dartmoor and travels regularly to teach workshops in London and elsewhere.
Sue completed her training with Pilates Foundation UK in 2002. The course covered the classical as well as the evolved repertoire with focus on adapting the method to teach at all levels. Areas of study also included pre and post-natal, working with the elderly, rehabilitation and working with dancers and athletes. Sue's pregnancy classes focus on strengthening the body in preparation for pregnancy, labour and delivery through use of adapted Pilates matwork and some Yoga-based exercise. Moving through mobilisation and stability work and positions for labour and delivery, the class aims to offer a well-balanced structure that can be adapted to suit individuals. Relaxation and visualization techniques are also practiced to encourage a healthy and powerful mind/body relationship. .
Alice originally trained in India in the lineage of Swami Satyananda Saraswati, and completed diplomas in yoga education and advanced yoga studies. She studied with a number of teachers in India and has been teaching since 2008. Qualified to teach pre and post natal yoga, Alice is also a practicing yoga therapist. She is currently one of the main teachers on the Devon School of Yoga Foundation course. Alice's approach to Yoga is informed by her long-term practice and study of Vipassana meditation as taught by SN Goenka.
Emily was bought to yoga through dance and holds a first class BA (hons) Degree from London Contemporary Dance School. She received her Yoga Teacher Training in India with Yoga Life whose teachings are descended from the lineage of Swami Satyananda. Emily has traveled through much of Asia, teaching full time in Malaysia and Bali and deepening her practice with world renowned teachers. In her classes Emily uses creative and dynamic flowing sequences to music to help create a union between breath and movement taking you to the core of your energetic self. Currently Emily is studying to be a Yoga Therapist and Pregnancy Yoga Teacher with the Devon School of Yoga on their Post-Graduate Yoga Therapy Course. Emily is a registered teacher with Yoga Alliance.
Sannyasi Atmamantra (Mark Maunsell-Thomas) has been teaching in the Satyananda Yoga Tradition since 2002, and for the last 7 years has been living in their main ashram in India, Rikhiapeeth.
He began practising yoga in 1998 and quickly discovered there was much greater depth to this science. This led him to the Bihar School of Yoga in 2001 for a 4 month residential course. This was to be the first visit of many that would lead to him living there immersing himself in the ancient tantric tradition.
While in the ashram he became one of the main teachers for courses in English. He conducted a variety of courses for adults and children including the running of the annual teacher training course. He also accompanied Swami Satyasangananda, Peetadishwari of Rikhiapeeth, on her official trips to teach at the functions that she was presiding over.
He encourages students to bring the ancient practices of yoga off the mat and integrate them into their lives as an antidote to the challenges of modern life. He has recently settled in Devon.
James Russell, BA, DipYE
James first became interested in yoga after visiting India in 2000. He found that practising yoga regularly helped him to feel healthier and calmer. He has personally experienced the transformative, healing effects of the practice and is now dedicated to helping others awaken such benefits.
James has spent much time in India studying yoga directly from experienced teachers. He formally studied 'Yoga Education' and 'Advanced Yoga Studies' at an ashram in the lineage of Swami Satyananda. In the UK, he trained with the British Wheel of Yoga and the Devon School of Yoga.
James teaches a holistic approach to yoga that integrates a range of practices such as mantra, kriya, asana, pranayama and meditation.

Inkjet Coding Equipment
Continuous ink jet manufacturer, Citronix, has recently expanded its product range. This is great news for UK distributor The Needham Group as they say it will now enable them compete in a greater variety of industries and help further establish their position as coding and marking equipment suppliers in the UK.
Citronix has recently launched its ci2000 IP65 rated CIJ system. With a positive air pressured enclosure and generators to create positive air for the printhead there are absolutely no entry points for dust and moisture, making the ci2000 the ideal coding and marking solution in the most extreme, high dust or wet production environments.
In addition to new systems, Citronix has also introduced new software features unique to its ciSeries systems. New Ultra High Speed (UHS) software has been introduced to the high-end ci1000 and ci2000 systems. Unlike the competition, the UHS software is a standard option; therefore, adds no cost to the price of a system and provides the ability to print at 470M/min, ideal for extremely high speed applications.
Latest Continuous Inkjet
One of the latest continuous inkjet innovations launched by Citronix is its ciLink software. ciLink features an embedded full web browser interface to allow control of a system or a network of systems locally or remotely. Anything accomplished at the system keyboard can be accomplished via the virtual web browser keyboard/interface. This feature also enables email notifications be sent for routine maintenance and critical situations; therefore, is set to revolutionize and significantly improve the serviceability and reliability of the Citronix coding and marking solutions.

Oh, film festivals. It seems like every time I look around there's another one of you popping up—like purse designers, or starlets going to rehab. But despite the seemingly endless string of cinemapaloozas we get in the Bay Area, SF Shorts has carved out a special place in my heart. Now in its second year, the festival is devoted to (you guessed it) short films submitted from all over the world. The scope of last year's entries blew me away and from the sounds of it, this year's lineup is positioned to surpass the festival's impressive debut. In anticipation of its August run, SF Shorts is hosting a sneak peak event set for July 12 at the Victoria Theatre that will feature a short program of screenings of some of the selected films (including Green Grass of Tunnel from local commercial and fine art photographer Heimo) plus a performance from SF's Soviet pop supergroup Persephone's Bees. And if that isn't enticement aplenty, there will also be free beer.

Abstract—Distributed file systems nowadays need to provide for fault tolerance. This is typically achieved with the replication of files. Existing approaches to the construction of replicated file systems sacrifice strong semantics (i.e., the guarantees the systems make to running computations when failures occur and/or files are accessed concurrently). This is done mainly for efficiency reasons. This paper puts forward a replicated file system protocol that enforces strong consistency semantics. Enforcing strong semantics allows for distributed systems to behave more like their centralized counterparts—an essential feature in order to provide the transparency that is so strived for in distributed computing systems. One fundamental characteristic of our protocol is its distributed nature. Because of it, the extra cost needed to ensure the stronger consistency is kept low since the bottleneck problem noticed in primary-copy systems is avoided, load balancing is facilitated, clients can choose physically close servers, and the work required during failure handling and recovery is reduced. Another characteristic is that instead of optimizing each operation type on its own, file system activity was viewed at the level of a file session and the costs of individual operations were able to be spread over the life of a file session. We have developed a prototype and compared the performance of the prototype to both NFS and a nonreplicated version of the prototype that also achieves strong consistency semantics. Through these comparisons the cost of replication and the cost of enforcing the strong consistency semantics are shown.

With fall brings crockpot season! I always forget how much I love my crockpot until cool weather rolls around. I tend to be a messy cook. I try to clean while cooking and still end up with a huge mess in my kitchen. This is where the crockpot comes in. Everything goes into one pot and out comes an amazing dinner! I used Juli from PaleOMG jam recipe with fresh blackberries instead of raspberries. You can use store bought blackberry jam just check the ingredients! I ate this over a baked sweet potato, and it was the perfect meal. Serves 2-3 but easily doubles for a bigger group! Also in completely unrelated news, basketball season is here!! Well sort of. Colligate basketball programs were officially allowed to start practicing this past Saturday. I just want to warn any readers that semi-frequent basketball updates might be coming soon. Rock Chalk.
2 chicken breasts
1/4 cup + 1/2 tbls honey
1/3 cup coconut aminos
1 tbls olive oil
2 tbls blackberry-blueberry jam
1 tsp almond butter
1/2 tsp cider vinegar
1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup sweet onion, diced
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper
sesame seeds, topping
In a bowl mix all glaze ingredients together in a bowl. Turn crockpot to low and place chicken in bottom. Pour sauce ingredients over chicken. Cook for 3 hours. Flip chicken and cook for another hour.
Remove chicken from crockpot. Pour sauce into small sauce pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes until sauce reduces. While the sauce is cooking, shred chicken with two forks. Toss chicken with sauce and serve with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Actress and serial home renovator Diane Keaton has bought a house in Pacific Palisades for $5.6 million, public records show.
The purchase is unusual for Keaton in that the home was recently built — in 2009 — and is Cape Cod-influenced, rather than the older Spanish style she usually favors. The 7,800-square-foot house features a family room, a wine room, a theater, a gym, two wet bars, an ocean-view roof deck, six bedrooms and nine bathrooms on three levels. Outdoor amenities include a swimming pool with spa, an outside living room and a fireplace.
Keaton, 66, won an Oscar for "Annie Hall" (1977). This year she stars in the film "Darling Companion" and "The Wedding," due for October release.
The property came on the market in March at $5.75 million.
David Kelmenson of Sotheby's Pacific Palisades office was the listing agent, and Aileen Comora and Paul Lester of the Agency in Beverly Hills represented Keaton, according to the Multiple Listing Service.

Podcast: We Live in Public Director Ondi Timoner
Documentary filmmaker Ondi Timoner sat down recently for a chat with Millimeter Senior Editor Michael Goldman to discuss the decade-long odyssey she went through to produce her new documentary, We Live in Public—the story of internet pioneer Josh Harris and the late 1990's project he spearheaded to monitor subjects voluntarily locked in a bunker for 30 days and air the results on what was then an embryonic version of the Web. The movie is competing in the 2009 Sundance documentary category.

The biggest grocery retailer, by far, in the United States is Kroger. Almost all Kroger stores throughout the country will be packed with shoppers looking to make last minute food purchases. Some of these individuals may be looking for Kroger Christmas Eve and Christmas Day hours in 2011 as they hope to get all of the necessities.
Kroger has a strong hold in Kentucky, Ohio, Georgia and Tennessee so it should come as no surprise to see some of the following areas being packed with Kroger Shoppers:
It is usually the case that most Kroger locations close at 6:00 or 7:00 pm on Christmas Eve. With this in mind it might be smart to get to the grocery store early as there will be very few options to shop late on Christmas Eve or on Christmas Day. Walgreens and CVS locations throughout the United States will be open late on Christmas Eve as many locations will be open until midnight. There are a few 24 hour stores throughout the USA that stay open the entire night of Christmas Eve into Christmas Day.
Before accepting that all stores are closed on Christmas Eve night and Christmas Day it might be smart to do a little bit of extra homework. You may find that there are a few restaurants and grocery stores open that can help you get some food to get through the next 24 or 48 hours. Now that Christmas is over millions of Americans will get back to reality. Some individuals will need money assistance in the near future so it will likely be true that many look for Capital One Bad Credit Credit Cards. Before borrowing money with bad credit remember that high interest rates are quite likely.

openapplev replied to your post: Give up the ghost, buddy. You're not a 32 in the…
You'd think with all the lapsed 32s, it'd be easier to find a 33 of anything. I'm faced with eating nothing but oatmeal and salad or pigging out until 34s fit.
I still hold out for the 33s. I can't bring myself to bump up a weight class, nor can I eat enough fig leaves to lose weight in the tummy area.
Oh well. At least I have a cute butt.

School romances face a lot of obstacles: the big decision at graduation, the competing demands of two burgeoning careers, perhaps a period spent in long-distance relationship. But the young lovers in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's latest novel, Americanah, must overcome even more challenges than usual: military rule, immigration restrictions and, during their years apart, other relationships.
Ifemelu and Obinze fall in love as students in Nigeria, when the country is under military rule and those with the means to leave the country do so. Ifemelu goes to America to study, and she prospers there, trying out different jobs and relationships while writing a blog about her sudden new awareness of race.
Obinze, on the other hand, can't get into to America in the days following Sept. 11. He winds up living in London, under assumed names, and nearly gets married there before he's sent back to Nigeria.
Obinze and Ifemelu find each other — over the Internet, at first. Then Ifemelu returns to Nigeria. But she doesn't want to see the man she has loved for so long. At least, not yet …
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a MacArthur fellow, and her previous novels have won the Commonwealth Writer's Prize and the Orange Prize for Fiction (now the Women's Prize for Fiction). Adichie joins NPR's Scott Simon to talk about race in America, the politics of hair and the loss of Chinua Achebe.
Interview Highlights
On the immigration of Nigerians into the U.S. and U.K.
"I think the immigration story that we are very familiar with, when it concerns Africa, is the story of, you know, the person who's fleeing war or poverty, and I wanted to write about a different kind of immigration, which is the kind that I'm familiar with, which is of middle-class people who are not fleeing burned villages, and who you know had ostensibly privileged lives, but who are seeking what I like to think of as choice — who want more, who think that somehow over there is more exciting, is better. For my generation it's the U.S., and I think this is probably the case for much of the world, because America just has this enormous cultural power."
On how Ifemelu's hair is important in the novel
"I like to say that this is a novel about love, about race, and about hair. In particular I want to talk about natural black hair, and how it's not just hair. I mean, I'm interested in hair in sort of a very aesthetic way, just the beauty of hair, but also in a political way: what it says, what it means.
"[Ifemelu] is going for an interview and she's told that if she really wants to get the job — and she is qualified for the job — but she's advised that the best thing to do would be to take the braids out and get her hair straightened, because that's the way to look more 'professional.' "
On the difference between race in America and tribal affiliation in Nigeria
"I sometimes wonder whether we should change the terminology and instead of talking about race, maybe just talk about skin color, because Ifemelu didn't really think of herself in terms of her skin color when she was in Nigeria. So coming to the U.S. and discovering that she was black was an entirely new thing. And it's quite different from being in Nigeria and knowing that there are tensions between Igbo and Yoruba and Hausa. It's a very different thing. But you know, what's, I think, particularly absurd about race is how immediate it is. That it doesn't matter what your history is, what your — it's really about how you look.
"And I'll tell you a story. So when I first came to the U.S., much like Ifemelu, I just didn't think of myself as black. And I wrote an essay in class, and my professor wanted to know who 'A-dee-chee' was — Americans often call me 'A-dee-chee,' and often tell me that my name makes them imagine that I might be Italian. And so when I raised my hand, because, you know, 'Who wrote the best essay? This is the best essay; who's A-dee-chee?' I raised my hand. And on his face, for a fleeting moment, was surprise. And I realized that the person who wrote the best essay in the class was not supposed to look like me. And it was quite early on in my time in the U.S., but it was just sort of that very tiny moment where I realize, 'Oh, right, so that's what this is about.' "
On having one foot in the U.S. and one in Nigeria
"I think I'm ridiculously fortunate. I consider myself a Nigerian — that's home, my sensibility is Nigerian. But I like America, and I like that I can spend time in America. But, you know, I look at the world through Nigerian eyes, and I am happiest when I am in Nigeria. I feel most — I question myself the least in Nigeria. You know, I don't think of myself as anything like a 'global citizen' or anything of the sort. I am just a Nigerian who's comfortable in other places."
On Chinua Achebe's death and how he impacted her
"It really was the world's loss. I think he was remarkable, and you know, not only was he a wonderful writer who wrote about the dignity of a people, he was also a man of just incredible integrity. I like to say that he gave me permission to write, because until I read him, when I was about 10, I was writing stories — I started writing quite young — and I was writing copies of the British books I was reading. So, you know, my characters were all white and were playing in the snow and here I was in small-town Nigeria. And then Chinua Achebe's work came. And you know, the best of literature is that you are reading but you're learning as well, and you're growing, and at the end of it you feel that you know more about human nature, that there's a sense of just being human that's just really wonderful."

"Wonderfully dark in colour from its Sherry wood maturation, the complex nose reveals a full, fruity sweetness - tempered by a certain maritime quality. The body is light; the palate surprisingly fresh, carrying initally a hint of dark chocolate, followed swiftly by a drier, salty nuance. Its finish is long, salty, warm and spiced-fruit in style"

Anna Karenina
Ok so we went to go see this on Wednesday (Orange Wednesday) I have seen the posters and adverts for the past few months and had become a part of the hype about it, even though I have no idea about what it was about. All I knew it was a period drama film with Keira Knightley in, and that was enough for me.
So this is about a beautiful woman in high society, married young and gets caught by the eye of another man. Seemingly what a lot of period films seem to be about. However. The way that this is filmed is stunning. Without reading the novel of which the film is based I only knew that it had something to do with a theatre and that parts are filmed in it from the trailers. The way that the entire film is set within an old, beautiful wooden theatre is amazing. I don't think I have ever seen a film shot so well. Scenes would merge into one another, flowing into one another instead of stop starting like the majority of films are shot. The attention to detail of the actors moving around the set, switching scenes while us the audience watched and took it all in, was like actually sitting watching a theatrical production. Bank employees would move with the camera panning round, moving tables from a scene inside a bank with the hustle and bustle and then it would become a beautiful restaurant and they would become the waiters and waitresses. I was glued to my seat.
The period costume is out of this world, some of the pieces that Knightley wore were sublime and just depicted the complete opulence of the time. Every detail was caught through to her jewelry and hats. This is the same across the board. Costume in the film deserves all the awards that they are handed. All cast members were instantly defined into class and standing through what they were wearing in the 19th Century and this was depicted throughout the film. This filters through to the amazing set. How they conceived turning this into a film and being able to shoot everything within a theatre is outstanding. Crystal chandeliers slowly dropping from the ceiling towards the ballroom floor and a dance commences around them to a complete horse race across the stage and a steam train pulling into the theatre as if it were Kings Cross station. Unbeliveable.
On top of the beauty of the way it was shot, the acting matched this. I had heard several reviews before watching and had heard how Jude Law was brilliant in this film. It took several scenes to realise that the husband was actually him. He plays the calm natured devoted husband of a seemingly wayward beautiful woman amazingly. I don't think he puts a foot wrong the entire film, if anyone wishes to see a stand out performance from a lead male then I think this could be a winning role for him. The rest of the cast keep the film alive with well acted parts and side stories that interweave with each other from the very beginning, keeping you guessing what is going to happen next and to whom.
It is however Knightley that what the film is about. She plays Karenina beautifully. I think it is her best role to date. I am a huge fan and can openingly say her pout drives me mad, but there are very few moments in the entire film I saw a glimmer of one. She became the part entirely. Anna Karenina was the epitome of elegance and class and this is exactly what was brought in this lead role. She covered every emotion and put the audience through the pain and heart ache of being caught in a marriage you no longer wish to be in and being in love with someone who breaks your heart.
I can personally say this may have become my new favourite period film. I cannot speak about it more highly. I may have to go and see it again. Whether it's for the storyline, acting or the sublime cinematography. Beautiful.
