PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 31 (UPI) — A woman found dead in her home Tuesday in Philadelphia may have been killed by the five pit bulls she and her husband owned, police said.
Chief Inspector Scott Small said an autopsy would be done to determine the cause of death, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. He said the 50-year-old woman was evidently killed by "severe head and face injuries," but it was not immediately obvious whether they were caused by the dogs or a human agent.
The husband, who reported finding his wife's body on the living room floor when he returned home at about 6:30 p.m., was taken in for questioning.
Several neighbors said the dogs had a reputation for viciousness. Gus Castro, 25, who lives across the street, said he was bitten Friday when the five dogs got out.
The dogs have been removed from the house.

We're happy to see he's turned his hobby into a successful, money making business.

Recent news & updates
No excuses. Movies are still being watched.
Blog posts will resume soon.
You may have noticed that I haven't updated in 13 days - almost half the time I have been doing this…
I could make excuses but to be honest I have a hard enough time writing about the films and I don't want to bore you. Perhaps it would reassure you to find that I have been watching films all along.
I left off with The Seventh Seal. I dont know why my last post cut off but I will tell you that I merely pontificated on how much I adore this film - it is one of my favorites of all time and one I have early memories of dozing off to. I have seen it at least twice on the big screen.
Since I left off, I have seen 11 more films. They are:
This Is Spinal Tap, on non-Criterion BluRay. Perhaps it is hard to believe, as everyone seems to have seen it, but I had never seen it. H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S.
Silence of the Lambs, surprisingly (as Netflix illustrates the film with the Criterion Collection cover) on non-Criterion DVD. Everyone has seen this film and I enjoy it. "It puts the lotion on the skin, or it gets the hose again."
The Samurai Trilogy - I looked forward to this from the beginning. Samurai I: Musashi Miyamoto kicked off on the oldest (to that point) pressed Criterion DVD. I love these films. They, more than any Kurosawa film, define the samurai genre to me. I also watched these films the first time on Samurai Saturdays on IFC. I didn't realize but these are the films I think of when I imagine Toshirō Mifune as a 17th century samurai. Samurai II: Duel at Ichijoji Temple solidifies Takezo (Miyamoto)'s character. After years of studying and traveling, solidifying his name as a great swordsman, returns to Kyoto to chalenge the regions greatest fencing school and in the process draw the attention of an young, ambitious swordsman, Kojiro Sasaki. Samurai III: Duel at Ganryu Island is the climax of the trilogy. After a respite of vegetable farming, the story climaxes the trilogy with the duel between Musashi and Kojiro. There can be only one.
Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom. My friend Adam asked me about it. A beautiful film, right up until up until the doodoo eating scene. Doodoo buffet and I'm done.
The Naked Kiss on Criterion DVD. This was the first of two consecutive Samuel Fuller films and the more enthralling of the two. The story of a prostitute who reforms to settle in a small town as a nurse. She quickly finds fairytale love with the town rich guy and just as quickly has it all taken away.
My favorite scene has the protagonist, Kelly, walk past a movie theater with the name of my next film on the marquee.
Shock Corridor, on Criterion DVD, didn't quite follow The Naked Kiss. While the story was entertaining, I just couldn't quite settle into it as I could the previous film. There was, however, one very amazing scene where the main character is sitting in the hallway of a insane asylum and a thunderstorm breaks, pouring down in-doors, and durung which the protagonist is struck down by multiple bolts of lightning, only to wake to the fact that none of it had happened and he finds himself sitting just as he had been all along.
Sid & Nancy on non-Criterion DVD. I love Gary Oldman. My earliest exposure to Gary Oldman was in Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead. This predates that by four years and he is hardly recognizable in the role of Sid Vicious. I enjoyed this one but ole sister girl Nancy did get annoying with all the "SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID! SSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID!, GODDAMMIT SIIID!"
Dead Ringers on non-Criterion DVD. I also love Jeremy Irons, though I am less sure as to why. Surely it isn't for his role as Simon Gruber in Die Hard: With a Vengeance. But then I look at his career on IMDB and I can find nothing else I might have known him in - surely it wasn't Lion King. This is a creep-as-fuck movie about identical twin gynecologists. I thought it got pretty predictable when the twin started referencing Chang and Eng, the Siamese twins.
Summertime, on an early pressed, feature-free Criterion DVD. To be honest I am watching this one as I type and I must say I didn't enjoy it until this very moment. Katherine Hepburn plays a bumbling non-Italian speaking bumpkin from Ohio bumping her way through Venice. I utterly loathe how she films inanimate objects with her movie camera. That was until she fell into the canal. I also love the use of a shallow depth of field. The end is disappointing.
Up next Robocop on non-Criterion BluRay.
A week filled with plans and friends doesn't leave much time for watching films.
I am not meeting my required 1.53 films per day average to accomplish my goal - in fact, today is day 14 and I just realized that I have only watched 12 films. Two discs at home and two on their way. I will catch up.
I was thinking about what I am doing here, this goal to achieve, and this blog thing. While I would really love to focus on each film with some in-depth analysis, I realize two important facts:
- I am not a writer.
- As part of the Criterion Collection and being the important films that they are, they have had tons written about them already.
I will instead try to focus on the experience.
I first saw John Woo's The Killer on VHS in high school. I think it was a copy of a copy. The quality was terrible and the subtitles were worse. I had never heard of Chow Yun-fat or John Woo, but I had never seen anything like it and I was blown away. The action was intense, the guns never needed reloading, and I never saw so much fake blood in my life. People tend to frown on this kind of violence in movies, but I think it is just as, if not more entertaining as giant robots, or aliens from another planet, and I can see elements of this movie in every great movie shoot-out since it came out - everything from Desperado and Heat, to The Matrix and The Way of the Gun.
This time I watched the it on DRAGON DYNASTY BluRay. For a non-criterion collection edition, I have to say that the quality of the picture and sound was everything it should have been for a movie released in 1989. The subtitles were certainly better and made more sense than I remembered.
When I thought of bullet-fest movies, The Killer was always at the top of my list. That is, until I saw Woo's 1992 release, Hardboiled (again on DRAGON DYNASTY DVD) this weekend. I did a little side reading about these films and people tout The Killer as his best work and I would have agreed had I never seen Hardboiled. Watching them back to back I have to say Hardboiled is better.
Monday night I made it to my next two Criterion Collection edition films, both on BluRay - Walkabout and The Seventh Seal. I have to say that getting two Criterion BluRays back-to-back was a nice treat. The difference in quality is astounding.
Walkabout is the first movie I had not heard of - I hadn't even read plot synopsis. For those that don't know this film, it is the story of a girl and her young brother who are stranded in the Australian outback and saved by a young aborigine boy on "walkabout." I had no preconceived notions about what was or was not going to happen. This is more than a story of survival and I think it is one of the most beautifully filmed movies I have ever seen. I highly recommend this film.
The BluRay featured a new, restored high-definition digital transfer, made from a newly minted 35 mm with uncompressed monaural soundtrack. Included on the disc features was an interview from two years ago made for interview of Luc, the young boy in the film and son of director Nicholas Roeg, in which he recounts his experiences during filming.
The Seventh Seal
It took me seven days to finish my seventh film. That means that since my last post I have only managed to watch 5 films. I know, I know. Would it disappoint you to find that I watched three of them in a marathon Wednesday night?
Sunday was Alfred Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes over a brunch filled with Bloody Mary's. I am a big Hitchcock fan and this is definitely one of my favorites, and while I have seen it before, I especially enjoyed this viewing because I shared it with my mom who had never seen it before. The quality of the picture and sound was good but I must say it didn't strike me as much as the restored Grand Illusion did.
Next we watched Federico Fellini's Amarcord on Netflix Instant. Neither of us had seen it before. And I spent the first thirty or so minutes or so reassuring her that it was a good movie, over her "What are we watching?" comments. It was fun and I would say that I enjoyed it but it is definitely my least favorite so far.
Later in the week my next batch of discs came in from Netflix, included with was my first Criterion BluRay of this journey - François Truffaut's The 400 Blows. This is another favorite of mine. The biggest comment I have is that the picture quality was astonishing. I saw this movie a few years ago at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston (the first time I had seen it) and thought the quality was good then. Any one that say older films aren't worth transferring to BluRay, is a fool. Also if you haven't ever seen this film, do so.
I also received Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast. I love this film though I am not 100% certain I have seen it before. Apparently this film was in a similar state to Grand Illusion, as it was a popular film for many, many years and there were almost no good prints left, except this time there were no long-lost negatives to save the day. It might sound absurd, but I watched this film three separate times. Once subtitled as it was filmed, once with commentary featuring film historian Arthur Knight, and once with the included and synched Phillip Glass opera.
Last for this marathon was A Night to Remember. If you didn't know, this is the original Titanic period piece. Released in 1958, it broke away from the melodrama and mythology and used composite characters while setting the spotlight on the Titanic to tell the story of what really happened that cold night in April, 1912. I wonder where James Cameron got his ideas for his 1997 release…
A large reason for the slower than anticipated pace is that neglected the time it takes to send and receive discs from Netflix in my planning. I have since bumped my subscription to 4 out at-a-time, which has to help.
As for the next two films, John Woo's The Killer and Hardboiled have proven impossible to find in their Criterion forms, I was faced with a dilema, to skip them for now or watch their "DRAGON DYNASTY" counterparts which Netflix offers. I chose the latter. So over the weekend I have The Killer on BluRay, Hardboiled, and Walkabout and The Seventh Seal on BluRay.
I will let you know how everything turns out this weekend.
I want to tell you that you can help me on my mission/quest/thing.
There are several Criterion Collection films that are out of print and proving difficult to find, some of the upcoming discs are as follows:
- #8 John Woo's The Killer
- #9 John Woo's Hard Boiled
- #20 Alex Cox's Sid & Nancy
- #21 David Cronenburg's Dead Ringers
- #23 Paul Verhoeven's RoboCop
- #27 Paul Morrissey's Flesh for Frankenstein
- #28 Paul Morrissey's Blood for Dracula
- #40 Michael Bay's Armageddon
- #49 Federico Fellini's Nights of Cabiria
- #55 Philip Kaufman's The Unbearable Lightness of Being
If you or someone you know has these any of these in their possession, I would love to borrow them. If you/they are out of the area, I would be willing to pay for shipping both ways. Even if you know where I could rent them in Houston, Tx…
Thank you!

Las Vegas - Thanksgiving Ideas
- Mr Conlin Aug 16, 2006 03:15 PM
A small group of us - all Northern California Chowhounds - will be celebrating multiple birthdays in Las Vegas over the week of Thanksgiving. I am feeling as if we waited too long to make reservations.
Any suggested restaurants to try for the big meal? Any experiences?
Thank you all in advance -

Bradley Ogden's menu last year:
Bradley Odgen at Caesars Palace. The gourmet restaurant was cited in USA Today's list of "Ten Great Places to Enjoy a Traditional Feast." The meal includes "roasted sweet pumpkin soup and wood-grilled organic turkey with a corn and sage stuffing," plus "the Black Beauty--an apple and cranberry upside-down cake" for dessert.

re: Budser1228
Just so people know, Lutece at The Venetian is no longer in business. I will poke around the next time i'm there, and see if any other restos are doing anything special for Turkey Day and report back.
When we were there we stayed downtown at The Golden Nugget. We had great steaks at Binion's...and we had a fabulous buffet at a place way off the strip...absolutely world class! I'll ask my son what the name of it is. I don't recall. He lived there for a long time and was a car valet for some top places while in school.
It was The Regent in Summerlin. Fabulous...worth every cent. We went for my sons graduation with a bunch a people...had a great time! Service was great as well. Very beautiful resort/casino off the strip. Lots of locals go there.
Just to clarify, the Regent is no more. It has been renamed the Rampart. Marriott runs the hotel part of the operation. I agree with your comments about the physical space -- I think it's the nicest casino in LV in many ways, and the hotel is lovely and quiet.

re: Budser1228
holy cow - that sounds great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i wonder if i can come by the next day for leftovers ?!?!?
re: Mr Conlin
Did you end up having a nice time? It is 2007... Anyone care to recommend any new places to dine on Thanksgiving this year??
re: OtterPop
You are right. I should have posted our results. We ate at Delmonico's, Bouchon, and Bradley Ogden for the actual Thanksgiving meal.
Delmonico was acceptable, nothing special. Although my experience with Emeril's restaurant is limited, I find that the sides are great, but the centerpiece is lacking a bit. All I remember is the Mushroom Ragout and the bernaise. The steak itself was alright.
Bouchon for breakfast, and was exceptional. Had the boudin blanc and eggs with brown butter. Fantastic.
Thanksgiving dinner at Bradley Ogden. We thought it through, and couldn't get to Rosemary's, and decided that if we were going to eat the quintessential American meal, we might as well have it at Ogden's place, who specializes in American comfort. I have to say that this meal was exceptional - the turkey and fixins were classic examples of what we wanted. The white meat and dark meat were both moist and flavorful. The gravy was concentrated and balanced. Great overall.
We are also glad we made it to Lotus of Siam. I still dream of the raw beef salad and try to duplicate it at home.
re: OtterPop
Following Budser1228's recommendation from a different post, I found the link to the Las Vegas' Review Journal's Thanksgiving Restaurant List.

The recent severe storms that rolled over the Washington, D.C., region may have encouraged many federal employees to telework. But as our earlier story noted, the storm that hit June 29 disrupted power and communications, making it questionable how many would-be teleworkers would actually be able to do so.
Telework has been part of the federal government's continuity of operations plans since the inception of the 2010 Telework Enhancement Act. Thanks to the policy, a growing chunk of the federal workforce has had the option to work remotely under unscheduled telework when severe weather conditions or other circumstances make commuting difficult.
President Barack Obama has said the goal is that the federal government should never close, and while a telework policy would technically allow business as usual, it doesn't address what would happen in the event of an extensive outage that leaves homes and businesses without power.
Friday's derecho storms left more than a million homes in the D.C. area without electricity, and many took to Twitter to gripe about not just their utility companies but their cloud, Internet and cell phone service providers whose services were down.
"Telework isn't a very effective option when you have no power (and your office, which does, looks like the best option for keeping cool)," commented one FCW reader.
Telework "is fine if, and only if, the Internet provider is up and running," another reader pointed out.
"My power went out at 10:30 on Friday night and was restored on Saturday evening about 7:30," wrote John Currant of Oakton, Va. "As of this writing, July 3 at 8:38 a.m., I do not have cable TV, Internet or phone service at my house. I normally telecommute one day a week. Yesterday, I came to the office instead of working at home and I am in the office now."
Failing technology or lack of power aren't the only challenges to relying on telework as a continuity-of-operations measure, said Jody Thompson, founder of the Results-Only Work Environment, a management strategy that evaluates employees on performance rather than presence.
"When the focus is on telework, continuity will always be at risk," she said. "What happens at that moment is: Everyone starts to scramble to figure out who can take unscheduled leave, who can telework or who can work at all. What we're trying to say, it's time to go beyond telework."
If the federal government is prioritizing results, rather than wasting time on figuring out who gets time off or who gets to telework, "then people would focus on what they need to do to get their work done," said Thompson, who co-founded CultureRx, a consulting firm that helps organizations implement ROWE.
Outside of management challenges, roadblocks can manifest themselves in employees not knowing the technology they need to work remotely, said Tom Simmons, area vice president of the public sector at Citrix Systems.
In 2001 when letters laced with anthrax killed five people and infected 17, Congress shut down its Capitol Hill offices and sent staffers home. Employees were asked to use their remote access and telework systems to do work, but many were unfamiliar with the technology, Simmons said.
"The help desk in the House of Representatives was brought down because everybody called to say, 'I don't remember how to do this, and I'm working from a laptop, and I need you to walk me through it,'" Simmons said.
Since that incident, mandates from the Office of Management and Budget have helped agencies embrace telework, removing the novelty factor and making employees more comfortable with the technology.
"We do have a sizable population of the federal workforce that teleworks on a regular basis," Simmons said. "The fact that they're used to coming into their work environment and using their applications and the data associated with those makes access to that environment in a situation like this much more routine."
Echoing Thompson's sentiment on how focus should be on results more than anything, Simmons said the culture change is to judge individuals more "on the outputs and the outcomes of their job than on the amount of time they put in to do it."
But is the government ready for such a dramatic shift in thinking ROWE would offer?
"The government is wasting so much time and effort on a program that hasn't worked for 50 years," Thompson said. "They still don't see they're not focused on results first; they're focused on managing people. . . All federal employees are adults, but when they're treated like children and told when they can take a break and work from home, they feel like children and they act like children."

Private industry has implemented this well and federal agencies should learn to manage teleworkers as well. Properly managed telework teams are highly producting and highly motivated. I think we have a management issue with people afraid to alter their management style.
For many of us telework cannot be productive. As long as we cannot access government systems from home, it's just not realistic. And, frankly, from a cyber security standpoint, it's completely unwise to allow that type of connectivity outside the four walls of an agency. Call me "old school," but telework isn't a viable way to get the job done, especially if you work in DOD or the IC.
Reality check time. Telework may be useful for the occasional blizzard when the infrastructure remains up and running, but to call telework a major component of COOP is wishful thinking at best. In a major area-wide disaster, people will be concentrating on keeping themselves and their families safe, not about keeping their agencies up and running.

Michael the Archangel Parish
502 W. Front Street ~ Monroe, MI 48161
(734) 241-8645 ~ email@example.com
My brothers and sisters in Christ! I cannot begin to thank almighty God enough for the gift of becoming your new pastor. I am looking forward to the many years we will have together; celebrating our faith, worshiping God, and learning of all the life he has in store for us. I realize that I am following in the footsteps of a very popular and a very competent pastor. I am grateful for all that Fr. Rooney has prepared for me as I now come to take leadership at St. Michael's. Fr. Rooney has loved you for more than 13 years as your pastor and now, as with all of us formal ministers of Christ, it is time to allow him to move on to another assignment. Fr. Rooney, you will not be forgotten and we pray for you daily.
I thought I would take some space in this first article to introduce myself and to let everyone know a little about me. I say a little about me because over the years as I teach and preach among you I will use lots of examples from my life and you will come to know me best in those settings.
I was born in Detroit in 1958, so I am native to the Archdiocese: my home parish is St. Frances Cabrini in Allen Park. I am the eldest of six children; I was adopted by my parents about a year after I was born. I have 2 younger brothers and 3 younger sisters; and now thanks to the gift of marriage and procreation I have 16 nieces and nephews. My father still lives in the house I was raised in and my mother has been deceased for more than three years.
After I graduated from high school in 1976, I started out my college career studying chemistry at Wayne State University. I received a bachelor's degree from that University in chemistry in 1980. Originally, my plan was to apply to medical school and train to become a physician. However, the Lord had other plans and through a long period of discernment I made the choice to enter the seminary and study to become a priest. I received a degree from Sacred Heart Seminary in 1983 at which point I was sent to Rome, Italy to do my formal training in theology. As it turned out, I spent almost 9 years in Rome, both preparing for priesthood and working on advanced degrees in theology.
I have been a priest for nearly 21 years: I was ordained on 14 November 1987. I have served in parishes both as pastor and as associate; St. Michael's is my fourth pastorate. I come to you with a great deal of skill and seasoning. While much of the past 20 years in my ministry has been spent in parish work, my passion and my scholastic training has been geared toward theological education and so I have managed to dedicate a great deal of my time working with young people, teens and young adults. In addition to my work at St. Michael, I look forward to helping out wherever I can at St. Mary Catholic Central if I am asked. It is my deepest conviction that we have reached a point in our culture's history where our young folks are starving for the knowledge that Jesus gives through the Gospel, so it is my intention to provide that service whenever possible.
Brothers and sisters, I am thrilled to be among you and to begin my work as your pastor. I look forward to whatever the Lord has in store for us as a community in the months and years ahead. Please know that once I received this assignment I began praying for all of you; it will always be that way from now on. Every morning when I take my life to God in prayer, you, my new parish family, will be first in line for consideration. Let us bless one another in Christ. I look forward to meeting all of you and coming to know you. Please keep me in your prayers and I will see you around the parish. God bless!

The thoroughly complete hoodwinking that Noah Baumbach pulled with his shot-on-the-sly Greta Gerwig vehicle, "Frances Ha," has meant a celebration of the director's rejuvenated style, and an even more fierce inquiry into what he's hiding next.

If you win any of my other auctions I'll combine shipping as best I can on any combined winnings. For my regular bidders it is fine for you to wait a week to pay and combine two week's worth of auctions. On multiple items I try to charge about 50 cents per item plus actual cost of postage and packing materials. IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING I've had some questions about shipping costs so I feel this merits an explanation. First of all, as I said these are all sold on consignment and I pay my client a flat percentage of gross sales. eBay charges about .30$ + 8.75%, and paypal charges .30$ + 4%. Packing materials (envelopes, toploaders, bubble wrap, mailing lables etc.) isn't free, and even if I have to just cut up boxes to stiffen packages it is time consuming. Sorting and packing takes time and effort on my part and does require me to put wear and tear on my car and pay for gas to get to the post office. Also eBay doesn't allow me to charge for insurance after the auction closes so I need to make sure I quote enough postage to cover insurance if the item gets upwards of 50$ or so (the point where I don't like to take risks) Please don't think I'm getting over by charging 2.50$ on a 1$ auction. After fees actual postage, and expenses, I see very little of this. I could always start things with higher minimum bid and say "free" shipping, but I'd still have to cover my costs and it would be a nightmare to figure out what to give my client at the end of the week. Shipping costs are as posted and if you feel it's unfair, please do not bid just to hammer my feedback. I suggest if anyone doesn't believe me, try posting a couple dozen 1-4$ items and see what you really see out of it after expenses. Funny how when I pay for for postage than I charge nobody ever paypal's me the difference, but a lot of people complain about high postage. I appreciate your understanding with this! IF YOU THINK SHIPPING IS TOO HIGH DON'T BID. IF ACTUAL COST OF POSTAGE IS MUCH LESS THAN I CHARGED YOU EMAIL ME AND I'LL REFUND THE DIFFERENCE. Payment by paypal preferred, and I think eBay no longer "allows" anything else, but I'm flexible. If you need to make special arrangements just ask. Since these items are being sold on consignment, so help me get my client paid as quickly as possible by paying within a few days. If you have problems or need to make other arrangements, just ask and I'm pretty flexible.Again in a nutshell, don't hesitate to ask me questions before or after the sale, and you'll probably want to come back for more. There's plenty more of this collection to go. Have a lot of fun!

NBA Commissioner David Stern needs to have a press conference.
During that conference, he needs to grip the podium tightly and survey the media with the stoic and matter-of-fact nature with which he carries himself. And he needs to say, once and for all:
"Superstars get preferential treatment because they make more money for the league."
Today, without the press conference, he ended up saying it anyway. He said it through action, or rather through inaction, when he refused to upgrade Dwyane Wade's foul on Darren Collison last night from a Flagrant 1 to a Flagrant 2. By letting the call stand, Stern and the NBA proved that stars like Wade are safe from suspensions and ejections because of their ability to bring in ratings and money.

Gotye ripped on Glee's version of Somebody That I Used to Know, then almost as quickly, did damage control to prevent a full-on Gleek attack.
Darren Criss and Matt Bomer's take on Somebody That I Used to Know was definitely a different spin, since the actors play brothers. Interesting, but nonetheless, a good cover of Gotye's song.
Gotye, however, didn't quite see it that way, telling the Sunday Mail: "They did such a faithful arrangement of the instrumentals but the vocals were that pop Glee style, ultra-dry, sounded pretty tuned and the rock has no real sense, like it's playing to you from a cardboard box."
Gotye also remarked,"It sounded dinky and wrong."
True enough, not all Glee covers are true to the original, and in many cases, are so auto-tuned and tweaked that the singers don't sound much like themselves anymore.
To smooth things over with Gleeks, the singer attempted to take back some of what he said - though not entirely - saying to The Hollywood Reporter, "The nature of using reverb and space in a recording can change your perception of how a sound appeals to you... this xylophone hook in my song - it's kind of dinky not just in the cover version but the original song... [mockingly] that becomes the Glee cover I hated and Darren Criss is an a–hole."
Gotye added, "I thought it was really clever to transpose the song to two guys... It was a great idea."
Did Gotye make up for his previous slam?

"Dragon Awaits"
First place in the Professional Figurative Carving section at the IOJDAA Lightning Ridge International Opal Jewellery Design Awards held in July 2011.
Daniela L'Abbatte
Originally from Italy, Daniela has been cutting opals for 24 years. Since her involvement in the industry, opal production at Lightning Ridge has became more scarce, she instinctively rebelled against the trend of cutting Opal in the traditional cabochon style, which tends to grind away precious material, and has steadfastly concentrated on developing her own carving technique. In collaboration with "Down to Earth Opals" promotion of L'Abbate's distinctively sensuous shapes has caused a ripple on the glassy surface of the Opal world .

The Bosses Do Everything Better (or So They Think)
Soulskill posted more than 2 years ago | from the make-a-button-that-does-everything dept.469
theodp writes "Some people, writes Dave Winer, make the mistake of thinking that if the result of someone's work is easy to use, the work itself must be easy. Like the boss — or boss's boss's boss — who asks for your code so he can show you how to implement the features he wants instead of having to bother to explain things. Give the code to him, advises Winer. If he pulls it off, even poorly, at least you'll know what he was asking for. And if he fails, well, he might be more patient about explaining what exactly he wants, and perhaps even appreciate how hard your work is. Or — more likely — you may simply never hear from him again. Win-win-win. So, how do you handle an anything-you-can-do-I-can-do-better boss?"

Should Notre Dame Be a Full-Time ACC Member?
4/30/14 in NCAAF | JonWitte | 11 respect
He worked out a deal that allows the football team to remain an independent, with the commitment that they would play five ACC teams each season, beginning this year.
Now, Swarbrick is a very intelligent individual and knows infinitely more about the workings of college athletics than I do but, coming from different perspectives, I thought it would be interesting to examine the pros and cons of the current situation versus becoming full time ACC members.
The first and probably most important factor is money. The deal with the ACC allows Notre Dame to retain its exclusive TV contract with NBC rather than be lumped in with a conference TV deal where they would have to share revenue with the other members. There's no doubting that with Notre Dame in the fold, the ACC would have the leverage to aggressively renegotiate their current deal but it's unlikely it would bring a financial benefit to Notre Dame more than the NBC deal.
The second factor is tradition. While making the deal, Swarbrick repeated that it was important for Notre Dame to remain independent because of the tradition of the brand. Being a realist however, he followed that statement by saying tradition would only be a deciding factor as long as it allowed Notre Dame to have access to the national championship. While I agree that part of Notre Dame's tradition is the fact that they're independent, I don't think it would diminish them at all to join the ACC.

Mattel Unveils New 'Masters of the Universe' 30th Anniversary Art
Mattel's released new Masters of the Universe art depicting He-Man, Skeletor, Beast Man, Man-At-Arms, Battlecat and more in a contemporary style befitting the franchise's 30th anniversary. Illustrated by Alvin Lee, who worked with Mattel Staff Product Designers Gabriel De La Torre and Raymond Makowski, the new art kind of blends the classic MoTU style with the 2002 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe animated series and of of course the fan-driven Masters of the Universe Classics toy line by the Four Horsemen and sold through MattyCollector.

Correction: Correction to "Coupled transport and reaction kinetics control the nitrate source-sink function of hyporheic zones"
Vol. 48, Issue 12, Article first published online: 12 DEC 2012

- dissolved organic carbon;
- nitrogen;
- nutrient cycling;
- residence time;
- surface water–groundwater interaction
[1] The fate of biologically available nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) in stream ecosystems is controlled by the coupling of physical transport and biogeochemical reaction kinetics. However, determining the relative role of physical and biogeochemical controls at different temporal and spatial scales is difficult. The hyporheic zone (HZ), where groundwater–stream water mix, can be an important location controlling N and C transformations because it creates strong gradients in both the physical and biogeochemical conditions that control redox biogeochemistry. We evaluated the coupling of physical transport and biogeochemical redox reactions by linking an advection, dispersion, and residence time model with a multiple Monod kinetics model simulating the concentrations of oxygen (O2), ammonium (NH4), nitrate (NO3), and dissolved organic carbon (DOC). We used global Monte Carlo sensitivity analyses with a nondimensional form of the model to examine coupled nitrification-denitrification dynamics across many scales of transport and reaction conditions. Results demonstrated that the residence time of water in the HZ and the uptake rate of O2 from either respiration and/or nitrification determined whether the HZ was a source or a sink of NO3 to the stream. We further show that whether the HZ is a net NO3 source or net NO3 sink is determined by the ratio of the characteristic transport time to the characteristic reaction time of O2 (i.e., the Damköhler number, DaO2), where HZs with DaO2 < 1 will be net nitrification environments and HZs with DaO2 ≪ 1 will be net denitrification environments. Our coupling of the hydrologic and biogeochemical limitations of N transformations across different temporal and spatial scales within the HZ allows us to explain the widely contrasting results of previous investigations of HZ N dynamics which variously identify the HZ as either a net source or sink of NO3. Our model results suggest that only estimates of residence times and O2uptake rates are necessary to predict this nitrification-denitrification threshold and, ultimately, whether a HZ will be either a net source or sink of NO3.

Good Question: How Do I Choose an Easter Ham?
We noticed this good question from reader rosebud in the current Open Thread, and we wanted to bump it up for everyone to see. She writes:
I really want to make a ham for Easter but wonder if it is foolhardy to do so for only 2 adults and 1 toddler. I've never seen hams come in small sizes and have no idea what to plan for: bone-in, "country", boneless, etc. I don't mind leftovers as I know we'll put them to good use but I don't want to be inundated with leftovers either. If it isn't feasible for such a small number of people, I'll go with lamb chops.
How to Make Onion-Skin Easter Eggs
It's Easter egg time at our house. Last year we brought you the story of Huevos Haminados, a Passover tradition of dying eggs with onion skins. This year, I decided to try it with both yellow and red onions, on white and brown eggs. The result was a gentle palate of reds and browns.

It's Passover and Easter this week, so I can't not give you a lamb recipe. Here's a really easy one.
I took the concept of Marge Piercy's Cinnamon Lamb in her book, Pesach for the Rest of Us, and applied it to a stew since lamb stew meat is what I had on hand last night, along with two hungry men and a culinarily curious toddler for dinner.

Being right is not always right.
When the time comes for you to make a change, to grow, to do your life in a different way, the universe will make you so uncomfortable, so unhappy, you will eventually have no choice. If you insist on staying in a place you no longer belong in, if you do not grow the courage to do what is necessary to propel yourself forward, you will suffer the consequences, whatever they may be.

The first cell felt no call to divide.
Fed on abundant salts and sun,
still thin, it simply spread,
rocking on water, clinging to stone,

As I was coming out from my parallel parking spot at the street right across Southshore beach, a friggin' car honks at me. In my confusion, I try stop… only to step on the gas pedal.
Good God, how did that happen ?
I guess I had a panic attack. Fortunately, the driver was pretty civil about it. The whole exchanging license and insurance process took less than fifteen minutes, and no cops were called.
The damage? Two scratches on my front bumper, but they are not that huge.
I was not hurt.
Anyways, I'm debating whether to buy Nikon D5000 since I'm going to China this summer (in mid-July). Whoot whoot !!

Alright guys here it goes. We are afraid we have some unfortunate news to break to you all, George is no longer with us as he has other commitments to pursue. HOWEVER don't worry, we are working 110% behind the scenes to make sure we can continue making love to your ears later on this year. We are not splitting up by any means, we'll just be off the gigging scene now for a couple of months. However fear not, we've got plenty planned for the year. We wish George all the best for the future and would like to thank him for the great times we've had together as a band! We do have a couple of possible replacements lined up but anyone who can slapa' de' bass and is interested, feel free to get in touch!
