The KIndle Fire HDX Second Screen
Second Screen is bound to get more traction among more tech-savvy users — well, once the company rolls the feature out to more platforms, anyway. At launch, it'll play nicely with Samsung Smart TVs and Sony's PlayStation 3 and 4. We asked about other platforms like Chromecast and simply got a "stay tuned." That would certainly be a killer combo, but then again, this feature could actually be a setup for Amazon's own rumored set-top box. Like the PlayStation app and Microsoft's SmartGlass, the feature is an attempt to harness the fact that you're probably already sitting in front of your TV with your tablet anyway. (It's a shame, really, that Andy Rooney isn't around to reminisce about the days when one giant screen was more than enough to hold our attention for half an hour.)
The feature lets you "fling" content to your TV. What actually happens is that your set picks up the stream where you left off on your Fire, pulling video from the cloud and therefore not relying on the HDX for any processing power. You can also just pick up and leave the room with Fire in hand and the stream on the set will remain unaffected. Your tablet, meanwhile, is freed up for other things, be it checking your email or playing a game. If you're the sort who likes to actually pay at least half-attention to the TV while you're in the same room, you can also follow along using X-Ray, which offers up contextual information about actors as they pop up. That feature has also been expanded to include information about songs and trivia from Amazon-owned IMDb. Once you're done, you can fling that content right back to your tablet.
Second Screen is a cool feature, certainly, and it's a clever way of leveraging the foundation the company has been laying down with X-Ray. There are, not surprisingly, a few moments of buffering as videos jump from one device to the other via the cloud, but otherwise it works fairly well, and certainly makes X-Ray a lot more usable than attempting to split a 7-inch screen between a video and that feature. Still, it's a shame that Amazon opted not to include a wired video-out option on the HDX, an omission that may turn off some users.

The Tale of the Third Follower: Excerpt from Lazarus Awakening
- Thursday, January 27, 2011
What a tender story. A story filled with emotion and dramatic tension. The story of two sisters torn by grief and a Savior who loved them yet chose to tarry. Of course, there is more to it—more truths we'll discover as we walk through the forty-four verses John devotes to this tale. For the story of Lazarus is also the story of Jesus's greatest miracle: that of awakening His friend from the dead. (To read the whole story all at once, see Appendix A: "The Story.")
Have you noticed that when Jesus comes on the scene, what seems to be the end is rarely the end? In fact, it's nearly always a new beginning. But Mary and Martha didn't know that at the time. And I'm prone to forget it as well.
Questions and disappointments, sorrow and fear tend to block out the bigger picture in situations like the one we see in Bethany. What do we do when God doesn't come through the way we hoped He would? What should we feel when what is dearest to our hearts is suddenly snatched away? How do we reconcile the love of God with the disappointments we face in life?
Such questions don't have easy answers. However, in this story of Jesus's three friends, I believe we can find clues to help us navigate the unknown and the tragic when we encounter them in our own lives. Tips to help us live in the meantime—that cruel in-between time when we are waiting for God to act—as well as insights to help us trust Him when He doesn't seem to be doing anything at all.
But most important, I believe the story of Lazarus reveals the scandalous availability of God's love if we will only reach out and accept it. Even when we don't deserve it. Even when life is hard and we don't understand. For God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts, Isaiah 55:8-9 tells us. He knows what He's doing. Even when we can't figure out His math.
Algebra and MeArithmetic was always one of my favorite subjects in grade school, one I excelled at. Of course, that was in the last century, before they started introducing algebra in kindergarten. In my post-Leave It to Beaver, yet very serene, childhood, the only equations that wrinkled my nine-year-old forehead were fairly straightforward:
2 + 2 = 4
19 − 7 = 12
Of course, fourth-grade math was more difficult than that. But the basic addition and subtraction skills I'd learned in first and second grade helped me tackle the multiplication and division problems of third and fourth grade with confidence. By the time I reached sixth grade, I was fairly proficient with complicated columns of sums and had pretty much conquered the mysterious world of fractions. I was
amazing—a math whiz.
But then eighth grade dawned and, with it, a very brief introduction to algebra. It all seemed quite silly to me. Who cared what the y factor was? And why on earth would I ever need to know what x + y + z equaled?
When my teacher gave us a high-school placement math exam that spring, I didn't spend a lot of time trying to figure out the answers—mainly because I had no idea how, and when I tried, it made my head hurt. Instead, when I encountered a difficult problem during the test, I did what had always worked for me: I looked for a pattern in the answers.
Allowing my mind to back up a bit and my eyes to go a little fuzzy, I'd stare at all those little ovals I'd so neatly darkened in with my number-two pencil until I could see a pattern. I haven't filled in a D for a while. Or, There were two Bs and then two Cs and one A, so obviously this must be another A.
I was amazing at this too.
No, really, I was. Several weeks later when we received the results of our testing, I had been placed not in bonehead math, not even in beginning algebra. No, it was accelerated algebra for me, though I hadn't a clue what I was doing. To this day I still don't. My algebraic cluelessness has followed me through adulthood and on into parenting. My kids can ask an English question, quiz me on history or government, and I can usually give them an answer or at least help them find one. But when it comes to algebra or geometry or calculus or any of those other advanced math classes invented by some sick, twisted Einstein wannabe…well, they'd better go ask their dad.

The "Restaurant: Impossible" episode shot June 12-13 with Robert Irvine at Aponte's Pizzeria in Mason premieres Sunday (8 p.m., Food Network). Colleague Rachel Richardson has posted details and before & after photos on our Mason Buzz blog here.
Her blog also has details on owner Tony Aponte's viewing party Sunday in the restaurant's rear parking lot, 312 Reading Road, Mason. The dining room will be closed, but Aponte and staff will be selling hot dogs, burgers, beer and wine.
Here's the episode description:
Owner Tony has worked in restaurants since he was 11 years old and is a Jersey boy through and through — complete with the attitude and edge. Eight years ago, despite already being in debt, and sacrificing precious time with his three daughters, he bought the pizzeria with the hope that this time he'd make it! With only two days and $10,000, can Robert turn the lackluster Aponte's Pizzeria around and save Tony from financial ruin or will all the lost family time be for nothing?

Super TV with super features

I researched our next television carefully instead of buying at the store. This television had one of the highest ratings for sets in its size and class. I love the "smart" functions, since I like to explore web-based shows, as well as cable. The picture is very crisp in HD and the sound is okay for my ears. It arrived by shipping, so my hubby and I were faced with the fact that we would have to set up on our own. Not a problem for two old folks! It was good to go in less than an hour. I'm still learning new features every day, but enjoying every minute.

I only have Samsung flat screen TVs. All of them perform very well and this 50 inch is no exception. I really like internet-ready TVs.
Great looking television
By Rjvasquez20
from Boston, MA
Love this model. Looks beautiful hanging on my wall with it's thin bezel all you see is it's high quality picture! Only problems I have is the slow response from the remote control it comes with and no game mode. If I want to play my xbox I have to turn the auto motion off but I turn it back on because I love the way regular television looks with it. Other than that I love it!

Recently some ex-army officials openly refused to accept that India was victorious in Kargil War. Their argument was that Indian gained nothing from that war, either politically or militarily! It gained its own lost ground at the cost of some 580+ soldiers! Do you agree?

WEven presuming it were so is not reclaiming lost ground a victory? Moreover the fact that Nawab Shareef had to beg for special intercession of USA in stopping the war showed that Pak gains in the initial surprise action had been more than neutralised and India's counteroffensive begun to gain necessitating him to scurry to Washington for succour.However, by and large, it is true that the Kargil was exposed our tendency to rest on our outdated laurels.Answered by radhikamruta, 02 Jun '10 03:20 am

I am in a keeper league where if you keep a player you lose a draft pick 2 rounds ahead of where they were drafted the previous year. For example Jimmy Graham was drafted in the 7th round in 2011...If I want to keep him in 2012 I have to give up a 5th round pick
How do I delete these picks?
FFCSR_Hal Admin Aug 15 '12
Commish Options>Edit Draft Options>Manually Edit Draft Round by Round>Click DELETE PICK for every pick you want removed and protected.
JonnyMacFlo Aug 15 '12
I went to Commish Options>Edit Live Draft Options...after that there is no option to "Manually Edit Draft Round by Round"
Is there something I am missing?
FFCSR_Hal Admin Aug 15 '12
The correct verbiage:
Commish Options>Edit Draft Order -> "I want to edit the draft order round-by-round" -> Select the Owner Name on the right drop-down menu and hit [Delete Pick]

I haven't heard much about any of them, really. but, Celeste and Jesse Forever was co-written by Rashida Jones, so it'll be interesting to see what she has to say as a writer.
Liberal Arts looks like it'll be pretty stereotypical Sundance fodder (I don't mean that as a good thing), but it does have Richard Jenkins in the cast and he is always good. also Elizabeth Olsen is shaping out to be a great actress.
The Words has Michael McKean and Jeremy Irons in supporting roles and they are always good.
you might not get another chance to see About The Pink Sky if it doesn't get distribution in the states.
so I would say if you had to pick one of those four go with either the first one or the last one.

LOGAN COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) – Snow fell hard and fast in Logan County beginning around 3 a.m. Monday and lasting through the afternoon, leaving roads slick and covered in snow.
"It was treacherous," Roger Pauley, who drove in from South Charleston for work, said. "It was dangerous. I wouldn't advise anybody to be out in it."
Tires spun out and harsh winds whipped through Logan County all day, keeping many drivers at home. Pauley said staying home was not an option for him, but that it turned his commute from 45 minutes to nearly 90.
"With the economy the way it is and with the way jobs are, I've got to get my work done," Pauley said. "I just have to take my time, leave a little bit earlier and be careful."
Plows and salt trucks tried without much success to clear roads. Downtown Logan was almost a ghost town at times, with very few cars or people out, and even U.S. 119 was covered throughout the day.
"Pretty bad," John Payne, who drove from Mingo County to pick up groceries, said. "Ain't much they can do about it, you know, bad as it is."
Payne said he should have gotten the groceries on Sunday but didn't get a paycheck until Monday. Driving in weather like this, he said, means following some ground rules.
"Very slow and four-wheel drive or don't get out," Payne said.
Throughout the morning in Logan County, snow fell as quickly as 1 to 2 inches per hour, causing an accumulation of several inches by early afternoon.

Parkinson's Disease Health Center
Alternative Treatments for Parkinson's Disease
How Can I Know If an Alternative Treatment Is Safe and Effective? continued...
Once you answer these questions, weigh your options and decide whether the benefits outweigh the risks.
If you do decide to try an alternative treatment, make sure your health is protected. Do not take the claim at face value: contact reliable organizations and discuss the therapy. Talk to others in a support group, your family and friends; although they may not always be supportive, they can help you make an educated, objective decision.
Discuss the therapy with your doctor. Make sure your doctor knows what therapy you are considering so he or she can discuss possible interactions and/or side effects with your current treatments. He or she can also provide you with information on other patients who may have tried the same therapy.
Contact the Better Business Bureau and thoroughly research the background of the therapy provider. Determine how long they have been providing this therapy, what credentials they have, and what their philosophy of treatment is. Avoid therapy providers who refuse or are reluctant to work with your doctor. Be sure that the provider is willing to refer patients to a conventional doctor when necessary.
And, lastly, make sure you know the cost of treatment up front. Most alternative therapies are not covered by your insurance.
Alternative Treatment Red Flags to Look for Include:
- How the product/provider is promoted. Be cautious if products or providers are promoted through: telemarketers; direct mailings; infomercials; ads disguised as valid news articles; ads in the back of magazines.
- Big claims. If a provider or product claims to be a "cure" for Parkinson's disease, or gives outrageous claims, be cautious.
- Source. Beware if the product is only being offered through one manufacturer.
- Ingredients. Make sure all of the active ingredients are listed. Do not trust "secret formulas."
- Testimonials. Keep in mind that testimonials are only given by those who are satisfied with the product. And, if the ad says, "paid endorsement," know that the person is getting compensated to say what the manufacturer wants them to say.

Marvel quickly -- and cheekily -- responded to the leaked footage with a two-word tweet, "Dammit, Hydra," and by releasing the full-resolution version of the trailer.

"Trying to achieve security and peace of mind"
Maria Norwen
Sometimes we break down and need help from others to jump start the engine and get us going again. Sometimes we don't even have a vehicle but we need to get somewhere so badly that we hitchhike or we walk alongside the road because getting there slowly is better than not getting there at all. And sometimes, we are just driving for the sake of driving.
On occasion, we are the passenger in someone else's car, riding shotgun to their adventure until it's time to get back on our own. And sometimes, their journey is a part of our own. Some days we set out to bring something home with us, and some days we set out to start over somewhere new, never to return again.
Everyone is on the road, and we're all going somewhere. Even on the days when we get disoriented or run out of gas, going somewhere is always better than going nowhere. But we're never going nowhere..

For some of the most daunting health challenges in the world, cures remain elusive. However, Greenfield-based Elanco believes the number one world health problem—hunger—can be cured, and it wants to give the agricultural industry and general public the traction to do so. Launched earlier this year, the animal health company's ENOUGH movement is gaining momentum to help "cure" hunger—a challenge that becomes greater with each passing day.
Identifying the Next Generation of Molecular Therapeutics with the Indiana Drug Discovery Alliance
Over the past few years, many of the top research universities have created academic drug discovery programs in an attempt to replicate corporate capability in an academic setting. An alternative approach, like the one being implemented in Indiana, has university-based programs working collaboratively with the pharmaceutical industry to take full advantage of their complementary cultures, expertise, and resources to promote early stage discovery and to shepherd potential chemotherapeutic leads through the long and difficult path to the clinic.
Inside INdiana Business, BioCrossroads and Indiana University have launched a new partnership to communicate the growth, success and excitement surrounding Indiana's life sciences industry. We share a belief that this innovative field plays a vital role in the development of the entrepreneurs, innovations and businesses that will allow Indiana to compete in a global economy.

National TV Raids, Harasses and Hands Over to Police a Presumably Gay Couple
LAHORE: In a sensational stunt, the host of Abb Takk's show 'Secret' is seen storming in a house with her camera team along with policemen, followed by extreme mockery and harassment.
The drama begins as she interrogates the 'couple' with questions like how long they've been living together and if the man knew of the sexual identity of the supposed partner. She immediately shuns them with a flashing on-screen label "Lie" as they attempt to tell something about the man's psychiatric conditions. She goes on to ask the man where he sleeps to which he said "in the lounge away from bedroom".
Then, she produces a substance which she insists is narcotic (by rubbing her finger in it, genius?) and fits it in the report to establish the 'evil' among homosexuals. The saga continues as she enters into the bedroom screaming "don't let them go" as if she has dug gold — she sure represented it that way in the report. In the room we see two portraits hanging on the wall where the couple is dressed as bride and groom, then flashes a text saying Bridegroom's bride is also a man.
She then begins her self righteous and holier than thou speech, which is typical of such shows on Pakistani media, addressing the transgender (or was he really a cross-dressing man, we don't know!) partner with her words of wisdom saying "you have destroyed his life to fulfill your own needs and now you have closed his mind that he's no longer worthy of anyone". Then she turns to the camera to lecture the audience with "what if" questions and she contradicts herself with a closing statement "what if your child is born this way".
All this while the following extremely ignorant and homophobic 'concluding' text kept flashing on the screen
1) "Unemployment has led even men to prostitution"… huh?
2) "People [ignorantly] love those who are worthy of stoning"…
3) "Showbiz industry is full of homosexuals (Ansar Burney)"… quotes Pakistani human rights activist Ansar Burney.
4) "What's the purpose of men dressed as women to stand on roadside"… maybe to hire a taxi?
5) "Men trapped in prostitution in rented houses"… huh?
6) "Business of homosexuality in Zamzama, Clifton and other posh areas…"… and we thought homosexuality was a sexual orientation.
7) "Decent and respectable people also involved in this crime"
8) "Tiny places/cabins/huts are house of sins"
9) "Need of lawmaking to curb homosexuality…" Really? You need more legislation in a country that criminalizes homosexuality and has Sharia clauses that prescribes capital punishment?
9) "This nation is destroyed because of open-minded people…" genius! We thought poverty and terrorism was the cause but now we know, it's open minded people!
10) "Man the bridegroom and man the bride…" honey you really need to get used to seeing that now that several countries recognize that.
11) "Government silent spectator…" of course, what's the harm in blaming government, everyone seems to be doing it.
12) "Glimpse of People of (prophet)Lot even in this modern world" … honey modern world has more 'people of Lot' than the people of Lot themselves. Your ignorance is at fault here.
13) "A big cause of HIV and AIDS is homosexuality"… okay, that's crossing the lines of ignorance. Missy, the cause you are referring to is "unsafe sex" which also prevails in heterosexuality. Honestly, don't you do any research and have any editorial control these days?
14) "Vulgar men acting as eunuchs…"
And finally, the man is handed over to police. What crimes are they charged with? We don't know! However, if they are prosecuted for homosexuality and possession of drugs, they can be handed capital punishment.
Invasion of privacy like this is extremely outrageous and hypocritical especially because every homophobe on TV proclaims they don't care about what goes on behind the closed doors as long as it doesn't come to public.
We condemn and protest against the inaccuracy of the 'facts' presented, invasion of privacy, publicly humiliating, involving police and homophobic bigotry reporting aimed at demonizing the LGBT community.

About Twin Tree Healing
Twin Tree Healing is the vision of two sisters, Ali and Greta,
and their modern-day approach for people seeking more spiritual growth and purpose.
Through their workshops, YouTube Channel (The Twin Tree Channel), and private Reiki Certifications, their yin-yang approach has created a non-judgmental environment for people to explore their inner wisdom, increase growth in their well-being and love for self, and in turn reduce their stress, strain, and worry.
Their goal is to act as a 'bridge' between the mainstream world, and the beauty and wisdom of ancient modalities like Yoga and Meditation. Their teachings are approachable and easy-to-use, within an ever increasing fast-paced life. Ali and Greta believe in the beauty of each person, and they are focused on helping people reigniting the magic within themselves and their lives as a whole.
About Ali:
Ali has had an unquenchable thirst for learning that began early in childhood. At a very young age she sought to understand the spiritual and historical ramifications of ancient civilizations, in addition to the exploration of what was described as 'unseen' in the present world. After receiving her first Yoga Teacher Training, in addition to Reiki I, II, III/Master, she felt that she had finally found her path, as she had been seeking to help others with a more spiritually oriented approach. She has recently graduated with a Masters in Counseling Psychology, and is currently working on her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. Her goal is to fuse the worlds of Psychology and Spirituality together, promoting holistic healing and health, mind, body, and spirit.
About Greta:
Greta has many incredible talents, a jack-of-all-trades if you will. For over seven years she studied and taught Krav Maga, the official self-defense system of the Israeli Defense Forces. She has been writing and singing since the age of eleven, and went on to be the lead-singer of The Moxy, which was featured on MTV. Her voice has been described as healing, and her lyrics are way beyond her chronological years. She is also the owner of Hawk Couture, a Reiki infused healing crystals and stone jewelry line. At twenty-one, it was discovered that she had an undiagnosed case of Lyme disease, which she has presently struggled with for over a decade. She is passionate about helping others life full lives, inspite of physical and emotional challenges.
Ali and Greta created Twin Tree Healing as a community and resource; a modern-day approach for people seeking more spiritual growth and purpose.

Ithaca is Rock Stars
Monday, 01 September 2014 14:47
The rocks are not so close akin to us as the soil; they are one more remove from us; but they lie back of all, and are the final source of all. ... Time, geologic time, looks out at us from the rocks as from no other objects in the landscape.
— John Burroughs
By Joe Romano,

Issues like fracking, protecting our local biodiversity, whether local wine should be sold in supermarkets, whether Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) should be stored in the Seneca salt caverns, which neighborhoods get funding for what, supporting local farmers, and the role of the colleges up on the hills of our community seem like issues of the moment here in Ithaca. But actually, all of these things were caused by the same factors and each had its genesis over 360 million years ago.
You may be looking down at your feet and scratching your head, wondering how that is possible. Well that's a perfect response. In fact, look down at your feet right now, because that's where the answer lies.
Imagine that it's 410 million years ago. The continents have yet to differentiate and drift apart. High sea levels have flooded this part of what will become the North American continent, so you're standing under warm ocean water very near to the Earth's equator. A collision with the landmass that is now Europe has created a long mountain range on the scale of the Himalayas that rise above the water just to the east of this undersea Ithaca. The water around you is teeming with life. At your feet are seashells and skeletons of sea creatures that form a limey mud that will eventually become limestone.
From Slow Food to Slow Building: Bringing the Principles of the Slow Movement to Our Housing Choices
Monday, 04 August 2014 13:30
By Maria Klemperer-Johnson
Are you familiar with Slow Food? As a member of GreenStar, you likely know something about the movement that advocates a food system working at a more traditional pace: from production to distribution to consumption. In contrast to fast food, where industrialized processes deplete our environment, disempower workers, and produce unwholesome food, Slow Food creates a richer culture that nourishes consumers, the environment, and the people within the food production and distribution system.
As a builder and educator, I've been contemplating bringing the principles of Slow Food to residential building: Slow Building. What can we achieve by slowing down the process of design and construction, rooting our buildings in local traditions, and considering the impacts of our building choices on us, our environment, and the people working in the system?
Think of the ways that our building choices impact our community. Do they fulfill us personally? Do they sustain or deplete our physical environment? Do they contribute to a socially just economic system?
When making building choices that are nourishing to us personally, we usually think aesthetically. Most of us have made a self-indulgent choice to spend more for the granite countertop, or the extra dormer, or the flat-screen TV. Other less conspicuous, health-oriented choices are also worth making to promote our well-being in the home. We might consider the toxicity of materials, indoor air quality, and the relationship of our homes to our outdoor environment. Taking time to account for both aesthetics and the healthfulness of our homes is one aspect of Slow Building.

I'm Not a Real Dinner, but I Play One on TV
Monday, 02 June 2014 15:26
By Joe Romano,
Marketing Manager
Don't eat anything advertised on TV.
— Michael Pollan
In late November of 1953, the executives at C.A. Swanson & Sons had the biggest Thanksgiving leftover problem in history. The Omaha, Neb., frozen food company had overestimated the demand for its 1953 Thanksgiving turkey supply, to the tune of over half a million pounds of fresh turkey. With nowhere to store such an amount, the Swanson brothers, Gilbert and Clark, loaded the turkeys into ten refrigerated railroad cars, which had to keep rolling to stay cold.
As the turkeys rode the rails from Omaha to the East Coast and back again, the two brothers gave their staff a challenge — figure out what to do with the birds before they got back.
One of their salesmen, Gerry Thomas, had just returned from the Pan Am kitchens, where he had been given one of their new silver, multi-compartment, airline meal trays as a souvenir. He figured it might be just what the Swansons needed to sell off that turkey. Thomas mocked up a turkey dinner-filled tray and suggested marketing the meals by linking them to the national obsession, television. The box would look like a TV screen, complete with knobs and dials. By the time the turkeys arrived back in Omaha, the TV dinner, a meal that needed no preparation or cleanup, had been born. More important, home-cooked food had successfully been typecast in the role it plays across America today, the inconvenient, annoying, and unimportant sidekick who only earns his keep when he amuses us.

Empire State of Mind
Cite This Page
Technique"NY State of Mind," one of the rapper's best-known songs, if not indeed the best-known song in his catalog. Making the allusion (shout-out?) here more interesting is the history between Nas and Jay-Z; for years, the two carried out one of hip-hop's most famous feuds before eventually reconciling a few years ago. Nas was originally rumored to be up for a guest appearance on "Empire State of Mind," although he didn't end up appearing on the final track. Interestingly, though the two songs have similar titles, the raps couldn't be more different. Nas raps about "the smooth criminal" and Jay-Z raps about his incredible commercial success and how he owes it, in part, to New York City.
Billy Joel also has a song called "New York State of Mind," and it's not as big a stretch you might think to connect Billy Joel to Jay-Z considering how much both artists connect with the idea of Frank Sinatra's New York.

What you may not know about the democrats: The Communist Party USA Says Re-electing Obama is "Absolutely Essential". Since 1988, the CPUSA has not run its own candidates for president and vice-president, preferring instead to work through the Democratic Party.

"Stop it. This is hard. You want to try it? Get in the ring." --Ann Romney
Mrs. Romney's exasperation with conservative critics is understandable. The mainstream press has been like a school of piranhas swarming around her husband. To receive fire from her own side as well -- even constructive advice -- may seem too much to bear.
Mitt Romney is facing perhaps the most corrupt and tendentious coverage in presidential history, as members of the fourth estate eschew any semblance of integrity in their attempt to skew interpretations in favor of their pinup, Mr. Obama.

The 'Things to do with Data' series of Wednesday lunchtime talks is back! Aimed at researchers from all disciplines who generate, gather, or delicately prise out pearls of data, this series looks at software, services, and techniques to help you make the most of that data. Covering aspects of data management from planning to re-use, these talks are intended to inspire whilst also considering the practical requirements of research funders and issues surrounding data sharing.
Last term we covered data security in the cloud, resources for research data managers, tools to help describe and share data in the life sciences, supercomputing data, and lab data management environments amongst other things. This term we have talks lined up on data visualization, network analysis, systems for managing medical data, and data as intellectual property, along with introductions to tools and services that might just help you look after your data more effectively. Featuring a mixture of IT staff and researchers from Oxford and beyond, 'Things to do with Data' will be making Wednesdays better between weeks 2 and 7.

Last Restaurant Standing [America Showing]
Is anyone else prepared to watch this week after week? I really enjoyed this show last season, though I didn't find it until the fifth episode.
Different format this year which I am enjoying. At least the first episode had far more Raymond, and a lot of discussion about the food. It is always a pleasure to listen to someone who knows a tremendous amount about food and the business of food teaching those who know less.
The first eliminated couple was... well... stupid. How can you use a can of stuff with three addins and time in the freezer in this competition? Too bad, the food they showed her preparing at home looked so very much better.
Do hope a few people will find discussing this show weekly to be at least amusing.
[And Harters, I haven't read your thread about this season, since it aired so much earlier in the UK.]
I only caught the second hour last night (Tues) on BBCA (in case anyone is searching.)
I found it refreshing that the contestants didn't get shafted for the gas leak in their restaurant that forbad its opening. The father-daughter combo were perhaps the worst disaster I've ever seen; their initial premise was 'brilliant' (Blanc's word) but the Father redifined clueless. The Welsh Wok had problems that were predictable.
Did these contestants learn nothing from last season?
The Provenance place seems to have the best gimmick (although I misread it as Provence, and I'd guess I wasn't the only one to so misread it.)
re: shallots
What day/time does it air?
re: mordacity
8 pm on Thursday night. There is a rerun at 11pm, following the news.
re: smtucker
No - there's nothing on Thursday nights. Here's the schedule:
It premiers on Tuesday nights at 9pm with multiple reshowings, but nothing on Thursdays.
re: applehome
Tuesday/Thursday.... my dyslexia comes through! This is why I have a calendar that sends me text messages. Thanks for the correction!
re: MMRuth
Hi there!
I don't know where I have been - I never heard of it before, but by chance I saw ad advert for it while watching Kitchen Nightmares, so I did Tivo it, but I havent watched it yet!
I am really excited to watch it and know I will enjoy discussions about it here!
re: MMRuth
I don't recall seeing this particular kitchen last year. The couples waited to hear Raymond's comments in a far less comfortable space, and are being housed in hotels, not all together in a house. There are two inspectors this year, down one from last year. I also felt that the inspectors were very active in the discussions or at least were given more air time.
Please remember, I didn't see the initial episodes last season, so I could _easily_ be off base here!
re: smtucker
No, your points are correct - I guess they were ones that I didn't think of as being outcome determinative, though I hope that they were staying closer to their restaurants than they were last year at the house.
I'm so glad this show is back. I really enjoyed last season. It was nice to see people competing so....congenially with each other, and Raymond is such a gentleman. As for this season, although the contestants don't appear to have as much personality as last season's (i.e. the twins, the bingo hall attendant, and even the annoying American girl), more of this season's contestants seem to have practical experience in the restaurant/catering fields.
I agree with you re the first eliminated couple. How could they think they would get a chance to open a restaurant based on mixing canned mango, cream and a few squirts of lime juice and throwing it into a freezer for an hour? Even if the mango had been fresh, the cup of baby food still would not have been awe-inspiring.
I'm worried for the Welsh Wok couple. Their clientele has never even heard of potstickers. None of them seemed familiar with Asian food. uh-oh. And Sorbet & Seasonings: Wouldn't you think they'd have several different sorbets on the menu instead of just one special, which was peas & mint? bleh. I thought the inspector was going to spit it up right there in there restaurant. Looking forward to seeing what The Gallery guys do. They seem to have good focus.
The Blue Goose father-daughter team lucked out, but they are really going to have to overcome all the people the father pissed off by asking them to pay for their drinks after getting NO FOOD after a two-hour wait. Unbelieveable. At this point, who knows what their food even tastes like? I don't buy that it was all dad's fault in FOH, because it looked like the daughter was just busy freaking out at the register and in the kitchen. Like that one customer said [paraphrasing]: "What is taking so long? I ordered a steak. Two days ago. I could have cooked a steak by now!" Seriously. What was going on in the KITCHEN?
Anyway, glad to see there are others interested in the show. =)
I loved this show last season and remember reading about the new season, on this board, a few months ago by someone in the UK. I had not realized it had come back on BBC-A until getting into bed late last night. It was 2:00am and we happened to catch the second hour. I was so excited!!! It was like a nice surprise. We only caught the second hour, but I now have it set the DVR to record the series
Most of the couples seemed to have bumbled through the first challenge. Mostly, it seemed due to plain old cluelessness. A Welsh-Asian fusion could be interesting, but just plopping down a few dishes of each cuisine is pretty pointless and clumsy. I totally did not get the sorbet thing, especially since they only had one (poorly concocted) sorbet. And the pair calling their place True Provenance really should have been able to back up their concept. But, for the life of me, I cannot figure out why Raymond decided to keep the father/daughter team. Did I miss the reason? There is absolutely no excuse for the service to not have gone more smoothly than all of the other restaurants. And then, AND THEN!, to ask the customers to pay for their drinks- insist the customers would be correct to negotiate a fair price after no service and in some cases no food is just plain crazy! That guy really has some set on him. And even at the table, he tried to defend that to Raymond. He just does not get it.
I am interested to see the teams improve.
re: Justpaula
Hypothesis: The Father knew he was clueless. Somehow he thought that he'd be taught how to do things. Can't get more clueless.
re: Justpaula
~"But, for the life of me, I cannot figure out why Raymond decided to keep the father/daughter team. Did I miss the reason?"~
Me too. I'm very surprised that Raymond would keep someone who had created such ill-will at any restaurant connected with his name. All I can think is that he really liked their entree ("spring" lamb) and likes their concept.
re: pisang goreng
My sense was that she cooks pretty well, and as you say, the concept is a good one (at least compared to some of the others!).
re: MMRuth
It seems to me that they decided it would be unfair to eliminate one pair of contestants when another hadn't even been able to open their restaurant yet because of the gas leak in their building. So they get a second chance and a stern warning instead.
"[And Harters, I haven't read your thread about this season, since it aired so much earlier in the UK.]"
No, don't. It does give a blow-by-blow account of the whole series.
I had been attempting to promote a discussion whilst it was being shown here. I had absolutely no success whatsoever. I susepct I may have literally been the only person amongst 55 million Brits who reads the Chowhound Media board - or at least no-one else contributed to the thread (unlike several other boards where it was extensively discussed).
I missed last season but really enjoyed watching last night's episode(s) this afternoon. I thought the food looked nice at the elimated (but not) restaurant, but really, they made a mess of it and should have been kicked off. I think the Welsh/Chinese thing really needs to be rethought ... why not just go with Chinese. I suppose the fact that no one in the place had heard of pot stickers might answer my own question. Anyway, seems like it could turn out to be addictive.
re: LulusMom
What are pot stickers, please? I don't think I recall ever seeing them on a Chinese menu in the UK.
re: Harters
Fried dumplings - imagine the round dough being folded over the filling, crimped, then fried. (I don't know if they get boiled first - they might.)
re: MMRuth
Ahha. Thanks for that.
I think I know what you mean. Just had a look at a couple of our local main dim sum places and the menus tend to confirm that we'd just call them "fried dumplings". Most neighbourhood Chinese restaurants in the UK would only offer a very limited selection of dim sum (and rarely of the dumpling sort). Luckily, we have a significant Chinese communtiy in the area with, I think, the second biggest Chintown (I think Manchester used to be one of only three "dragon cities" in the west - with Vancouver and San Francisco).
re: Harters
Potstickers are thin skinned dumplings that are pan-fried crisp on one side only, then steamed to finish (water added to the pan and covered) which releases them and cooks them through. That's as opposed to what we call "peking ravioli" or dim-sum dumplings which are a thicker dough and can be either steamed or pan-fried (if pan-fried, they are done all around, not just on one side).
Personally, I was surprised by some of the comments and faces made. I didn't get at all, Raymond and his helper's preference for fusion as vs. discrete pieces of more pure or "authentic" dishes. I'd have no problem with a starter course of potstickers and then a grilled lamb dish for the main. I hate most fusion - some horrid mixture out of someone's imagination of what combining several cultural heritages ought to be... usually a person of neither heritage - pretty silly when you think about it. Nevertheless, Raymond is obviously spot on with understanding the local UK tastes. I hope that those two really can develop something that will not only cater to those tastes but elevate them as well.
re: Harters
John - would you believe that here in America - no one would know what "crispy seaweed" would be on a Chinese menu!
And in the UK no one would know what an "egg roll" is!
When I lived in the UK I missed egg rolls so much!
But now that I'm back - all I want is crispy seaweed!!!
Now my 2 cents about the show -
I agree that the front of house was not fully to blame for th father-daughter catastrophie! I think the daughter was a bit clueless too!
And the should have been eliminated just for being so obnoxious about expecting money for the drinks!
Maybe I just took a dislike to them....she seemed a bit spoiled
re: NellyNel
"here in America - no one would know what "crispy seaweed" would be on a Chinese menu!"
How can you have Chinese food without "crispy seaweed". Surely it's an essential :-)
But you're right about transatlantic differences. My wife & I sometimes think we can understand what we're going to eat better from a menu in French than in American English (and it must be the same for Americans visiting the UK).
re: Harters
It may not be authentic - but it's darn good!
It is so delicious and tasty - GOD I MISS IT!!
To all you Americans - it is a "Chinese" snack available on most Chinese menus - the same as "egg rolls" are our Chinese snack staple.
It isn't actually seaweed at all - but some finely chopped greens (not sure exactly) and then deep fried in I would think sesame oil and topped with sugar and sesame seeds. It has the most delicious nutty/sweet but also quite savory taste.
To any Chinese restaurant owners -Bring it to the US please!!!
It would be a huge hit!
Yes!!!!! My English In Laws recently visited and said they were absolutely lost reading our menus!!
re: NellyNel
"My English In Laws recently visited and said they were absolutely lost reading our menus!!"
I remember first visiting the States in 1980 and seeing "English Muffins" on a menu. Had to try them. It would be years before the same thing was being sold in Britain!!!
Can anyone tell me exactly when the challenge airs? The show is set to record on my tivo every Tuesday at 9, but I never see the challenge. The next week, there's just a team missing. What has happened to the challenge? Does it air a different night?
I've checked the descriptions of all of the other showings and they're either for the following week or just the same as the one I've just watched, how do I know which one is the challenge?
re: susanrocks
hi Susan... the challenge is for the couples that Raymond wants to "view more".... so they happen every other week. Then the other weeks, we see the "weekend service."
You can tell that it is a challenge, because more than one of the couples is striving to work together. Regular weekend service, the couples are in their own restaurants with staff. Hope this helps....
re: susanrocks
It doesn't help with this (or the other cooking 'reality competition' shows) that the show begins with four or five minutes devoted to the previous episode. That might be leading you to think you've alread seen it because you have.
Did you know that the repeat of the previous week is on at 8 EDT? and that a number of repeats are on BBCA much later the same night?
At least Harriet who might have had promise and her Father who thought he could sell anything are now gone. But there was really only one pair who shone in the last episode...she of the fabulous curly hair, and he of the sharp featured face and very good food.
re: shallots
OK, I think I get it....a team is only eliminated every other wee...so March 10 will be a challenge week with an elimination and March 17 will be a normal week without an elimination. Thanks!
re: shallots
--please delete.
Did anyone notice that the food was barely mentioned this past episode? I thought that Raymond would have a lot more to say about the Coq a Vin and the Japenese food. Instead he seemed to focus more on the errors on the menus, ect. I was also annoyed by the fact that the chef a Nel's (Helen?) stated that she hated Malyasian food, but then said later that she had never eaten it.
re: Gingerleen
Maybe they edited out talk of food because it was such a lame concept.
I really want to like this show. I think some of the challenges are really great.
But assigning cuisines is inherently unfair. Maybe letting them choose from a list of eight that they feel more comfortable with...and more than one pair can choose to do Belgian if they so desire.
Weren't they supposed to do fusion menus? Not cook what you think these cuisines might be? I saw the lemongrass that was grown and I wanted to ask how they get it through winter (my current project is rooting it from what I've bought). And how do they grow enough ginger. But I know those flavors and could add them to my staples.
Belgian? Norwegian (or was it Lapp) I've cooked for friends in Trondheim and their grocery stores are stocked like ours, but the prices of the things we are used to....otoh, their fish market was wonderful.
How are you going to bring such diverse spices into a situation where the pairs can be judged fairly?
I really thought they were supposed to do fusion, so only one sort of followed the idea.
I will be impressed if each restaurant has a total breakdown of the oven , but I worry that the breakdowns were not planned, just not very good preparation for the show...like making sure the kitchen has dependable working appliances.
re: shallots
"I saw the lemongrass that was grown and I wanted to ask how they get it through winter ............. And how do they grow enough ginger."
We are a small island off the coast of northern Europe. It's too cold to commercially grow lemon grass and ginger. We import it.
re: Harters
But the implication was local sourcing.
(I have gardening friends in Wales, near Wolverhampton, and just west of London. I kind of know your temperatures and seasons from our commiserating.)
Right now our best looking and lasting ginger is coming from Brazil. I know that lemon grass can overwinter in New Mexico, except those years when it doesn't.

THE MOLLUSK Lyrics - Ween
Hey little boy, whatcha got there?
Kind sir it's a mollusk i've found
Did you find it in the sandy ground?
Does it emulate the ocean's sound?
Yes I found it on the ground
Emulating the ocean's sound
Bring forth the mollusk cast unto me
Let's be forever let forever be free
Hey little boy come walk with me
And bring your new found mollusk along
Does it speaketh of the trinity
Can it gaze at the sun with its wandering eye
Yes it speaks of the trinity
Casting light at the sun with its wandering eye
Bring forth the mollusk, cast unto me
Let's be forever let forever be free
sponsored linksYou see there are three things that spur the mollusk from the sand
The waking of all creatures that live on the land
And with just one faint glance, back into the sea
The mollusk lingers, with it's wandering eye

Testing of Canadian Ebola vaccine moving as fast as possible: NewLink CEO
Barrie's Derek Walton won't be reaching the clouds this year during the fifth-annual Jumping 4 'PALS.'
Walton was diagnosed Amoytrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), known as Lou Gerhig's disease, in May 2002 and, for the past four years, he has jumped from a plane in tandem with an instructor to raise funds for Sunnybrook hospital's ALS/neuromuscular clinic.
The event also provided him a brief respite from a cane or scooter.
The inaugural event raised $100,000 for The Walton Cure 4 ALS Fund.
But Walton's health is preventing him from taking the plunge during this year's event on Aug. 17.
"My skydiving days sadly are over. I'm not able to walk anymore and my breathing does not allow me to go that high up anymore," Walton said.
"It's just another item to add to my 'can't do' list. I really enjoyed doing the annual skydive, so obviously I'm sad I'm not able to do it anymore."
Walton said he and wife Diane will still attend the event to lend their support to the jumpers who have signed up.
In the past four years, the event has raised close to $280,000 for his charity.
"It's been a very successful fundraiser and the awareness has been very gratifying," Walton said.
The Aug. 17 event is the only one happening in Canada, but there are at least 10 skydiving for ALS events in the United States.
"I'm hoping with ALS Canada taking over (this year) in Ontario, it will become a Canadian national event," Walton said.
ALS Canada development director Enzo Raponi, said he's hopeful more jumpers will register for this year's event. In the past, there have been approximately 40 jumpers, and this year, just 24 are on the list.
Walton understands the lower numbers and said skydiving isn't something people generally want to do year after year.
"Once they've experienced it, that was all they wanted to do," Walton said. "And it can be quite an expense if they want to do it every year."
Registration for jumpers is $288 and participants can also collect pledges for the cause. The event is at Skydive Toronto near Cookstown.

Day 1 (It's actually like day 3 or something but it's my day 1.):
I got out of school at 3 and took the D train with Miranda. I dramatically read a story she found in her phone. It was pretty hilarious. I got off at West 4th Street and walked to Washington Square Park. Luke arrived and then Charlotte got there soon after. We went to the box office and asked about tickets. They basically said to come back later. We went to Luke's house and then went back. We played cards and Super Smash Bros Brawl at Luke's. It was fun. We got back at the box office and they said that we could start forming the line. Just sitting on the sidewalk in front was cool. Luke and I went to get Wafels and Dinges. My waffle didn't want to agree with my stomach but my stomach triumphed. A line was formed when we got back but it was good.
While waiting in front, we got free tickets to the AMNH. We were also the first to get tickets to the event. Oliver Sacks and other people talking about how music reawakens the brain. We were pretty worried that Angela wouldn't arrive in time to get tickets, but she did and it was good.
The entire talk was good. Oliver Sacks is a really cute old man. Like really. Stanley Jordan played really good music that did invoke a lot of emotion. It was all intriguing. I took 4 pages of notes and I plan on taking more at other events. Afterwards, we chilled out and I got home at midnight. Totally worth it.
Today was a very good day.
