Gallery: SAMOO's New Korean Cultural Center in NYC Aims for LEED Certif...
Talk about a beautiful building! This international competition-winning design for the Korean Cultural Center in Manhattan is set to begin construction at the end of this year. The New York City studio of SAMOO Archictects PC is responsible for this out of the box (literally) design for the new home for the Korean Cultural Service in NYC. And this elegant addition to the K-Town and Murray Hill neighborhood isn't just another pretty face(ade) – it will be striving for LEED certification, making it a shining example of sustainable building for the area as well.
To be located on East 32nd Street in Midtown, the eight-story Korea Center will house administration offices, exhibit space, gardens, artist studios, a library, a cafe and a theater for events, lectures and performances. The street facing facade is completely glass, which allows passersby to see into the center and be enticed inward by the street level exhibitions on Korean culture, including music, movies, food, technology and TV dramas.
SAMOO's winning design embodies the modern Korean sensibility of innovation in harmony with tradition. Inside, the center is dominated by three sculptural figures made from different materials – ceramic to represent Heaven, terracotta to represent Earth and milled wood to represent Humanity. Along with staying true to Korean sensibilities, the glass facade will allow ample daylighting into the interior reducing the need for artificial light.

As an owner of a luxury condo one block down
on 32nd St. I'm delighted to have such a
beautiful structure as the Korean Cultural
Center in the neighborhood. However, we the
area residents, are worried about the homeless
refuge next to the museum. The residents are
menacing and destroying the area.

Even if you're not a big football fan, you'll likely get caught up in the Super Bowl and all its junk food temptations. It's fun to indulge, but then there's the morning after: No matter who won, your body feels like a loser. To keep the menu abundant, eye-catching and satisfying, I like to serve three healthy dips for the big game.
Most of us know avocados are good for us in the way that olive oil is. Compared with other fats, such as butter, shortening and lard, they're a healthy choice. But you still have to account for their fat. For this reason I'm always looking for ways to lighten one of my favorite dips: guacamole.
Because of their great color and relatively neutral flavor, frozen green peas have been my go-to guacamole stretcher in the past, but as frozen edamame (boiled green soybeans) become more widely available, I prefer their savory yet neutral flavor and chunky texture. And there's good news on the nutritional front: Per cup, edamame contain only 8 fat grams, just one of which is saturated, compared with an avocado's 22 fat grams (3 of which are saturated).
How to lighten and freshen classic French onion dip? With nonfat Greek yogurt prominently displayed in every well-stocked dairy case, it's easy. Sporting only 80 calories and no fat calories per cup, this thick yet substantial strained yogurt offers a similar texture and flavor to sour cream, which comes with a whopping 492 calories and 48 grams of fat for the same amount. To reduce the extremely high sodium that comes from the dehydrated onion soup mix, caramelize your own onions — it takes only a few minutes, and the health and flavor benefits are worth the effort.
No nibble fest is complete without a crudités and dip tray, but the dressing can be a problem. The typical ratio of oil to acid is at least two (if not three or four) to one, which translates to 1 cup of oil for every 1/4 to 1/2 cup of acidic ingredients. By using mild, sweet balsamic vinegar and a very generous dose of Dijon mustard, you can make vinaigrette that is not only lower in fat but also thick enough to seriously adhere to the vegetables.
I love crisp, crunchy raw vegetables, though this time of year I prefer them roasted. Turns out the extra cooking step isn't that hard. In fact, I've discovered you can pan-roast vegetables in a skillet on top of the stove in under 10 minutes, compared with oven roasting, which takes 30 to 40 minutes.
Start by steaming the vegetables. Place them cut side down in a more or less single layer in a large skillet, in a small amount of water seasoned with a little oil and salt. Cooking the vegetables in a covered pan over high heat, in small amount of water, means the vegetables steam fast. Once the water evaporates, the oil kicks in and the vegetables start to sauté. When you turn the heat to low, the cut sides of the vegetables start to color beautifully. As they brown, remove them to a serving platter to serve with that vinaigrette that's thick enough to really cling.
Starting with these healthy dips, I'm vowing to eat well at this year's game. And the morning after, I'm going to wake up a winner.

The Cybercast News Service, a conservative site, claims in a report published this morning that best-selling Xbox 360 title Mass Effect contains "explicitly graphic sexual intercourse."
The charge seems to be based on a well-known episode in the game in which there is a romantic liaison between the player's character and an NPC. However, in our view, it's quite a stretch to describe what appears onscreen as explicitly graphic sexual intercourse, which generally denotes hard core pornography.
Mass Effect is far from that.
However, a lawyer (no, not that lawyer) quoted in the article specifically refers to the game as porn. From the CNS piece:
The game is "clearly marketed to minors," Cathy Ruse, a lawyer and senior fellow for legal studies at the Family Research Council, told Cybercast News Service.
"There are cultural implications for feeding porn to kids in this way," ...Ruse said.
In describing the scene, CNS writes:
The playable character can become romantically involved... This storyline culminates in a cutscene in which the characters copulate in full digital nudity.
The article also quotes Bob Waliszewki, described as a media specialist with Focus on the Family. Waliszewki seems especially troubled by the fact that two women are involved in the love scene:
Unfortunately, Mass Effect... even goes so far as to allow homosexuality to be on par with heterosexuality and heterosexuality outside of its proper context of marriage.
Attorney Ruse also painted the love scene in the game as porn in the legal sense:
Most states have what's called 'Harmful to Minors' laws on the books that say that selling sexual material that a jury would deem 'patently offensive to minors, which lacks literary, artistic, political or scientific value.' ... might be prosecutable.
We need state and local prosecutors with spines and backbones to prosecute some of these companies that are violating the law.
Regarding CyberCast News Service, SourceWatch reports that:
Cybercast News Service (CNS) is a subsidiary of the conservative news monitoring group, the Media Research Center (MRC)...
Media Research Center Inc. is a conservative media watchdog group run by president and founder Brent Bozell. The Center... is funded by larger right-wing foundations...
Brent Bozell is also the founder of the Parents Television Council.
Here's the video. Do you find it to be "explicitly graphic sexual intercourse?"

Sickle cell anemia is a disease passed down through families. The red blood cells which are normally shaped like a disc take on a sickle or crescent shape. Red blood cells carry oxygen to the body.
Anemia - sickle cell; Hemoglobin SS disease (Hb SS); Sickle cell disease
Sickle cell anemia is caused by an abnormal type of hemoglobin called hemoglobin S. Hemoglobin is a protein inside red blood cells that carries oxygen.
Sickle cell anemia is inherited from both parents. If you get the sickle cell gene from only one parent, you will have sickle cell trait. People with sickle cell trait do not have the symptoms of sickle cell anemia.
Sickle cell disease is much more common in people of African and Mediterranean descent. It is also seen in people from South and Central America, the Caribbean, and the Middle East.
Symptoms usually do not occur until after the age of 4 months.
Almost all people with sickle cell anemia have painful episodes called crises. These can last from hours to days. Crises can cause pain in the lower back, leg, joints, and chest.
Some people have one episode every few years. Others have many episodes each year. The crises can be severe enough to require a hospital stay.
When the anemia becomes more severe, symptoms may include:
Younger children with sickle cell anemia have attacks of abdominal pain.
The following symptoms may occur because small blood vessels become blocked by the abnormal cells:
Over time, the spleen stops working. As a result, people with sickle cell anemia may have symptoms of infections such as:
Other symptoms include:
Tests commonly performed to diagnose and monitor patients with sickle cell anemia include:
The goal of treatment is to manage and control symptoms, and to limit the number of crises. People with sickle cell disease need ongoing treatment, even when not having a crisis. It is best to get care from health care that take care of many patients with sickle cell anemia.
People with this condition should take folic acid supplements. Folic acid helps make new red blood cells.
Treatment for a sickle cell crisis includes:
Other treatments for sickle cell anemia may include:
Treatments that may be needed to manage complications of sickle cell anemia include:
Bone marrow or stem cell transplants can cure sickle cell anemia, but this treatment is not an option for most people. Sickle cell anemia patients often cannot find well-matched stem cell donors.
People with sickle cell disease should have the following vaccinations to lower the risk of infection:
Joining a support group where members share common issues can relieve the stress of a chronic disease.
In the past, people with sickle cell disease often died between ages 20 and 40. Thanks to a better care people now can live to the age of 50 and beyond.
Causes of death include organ failure and infection.

Adrian Sutil says Kimi Raikkonen is a good example of what drivers can strive to achieve when they return to Formula One...
Adrian Sutil says Kimi Raikkonen is a good example of what drivers can strive to achieve when they return to Formula One.
After a year away from the sport, Sutil will be back on this year's grid after signing a deal with former team Force India.
Confirmed on Thursday, the German was in action on Friday, putting in 62 laps at a rain-hit Circuit de Catalunya where he was 1.5s off the pace.
Asked if he expected he would need a period of adjustment, he told Sky Sports F1: "I don't think about problems, I look forward to the first races.
"I'm a positive person, not a negative person. If I only look on the problems and difficulties I get myself into a real problem.
"So I'm confident and just one year out of racing... I take Kimi as the best example. He was the most consistent driver in the whole field last year and had two years of break [from F1]."
In fact the 30-year-old, who also spent a day in the car last week when he was still up against Jules Bianchi for the Force India drive, reckons both himself and the team are ready to go racing.
"You can have more days and you're just feeling more comfortable, but our car is quite easy to drive so I feel quite comfortable already.
"You can always have more test days but sometimes you're just driving around, and I like racing and not so keen on testing the whole time.
"Sometimes you get lost a little bit in all these different settings and I think we had enough and can go from Australia and see where it goes.
"It's a long season and we can develop our car anyway throughout the season, so we have to be strong on that time."

WTO Affirms U.S. Victory in Dispute Over Argentina's Import Licensing Restrictions
On January 15, 2015, the World Trade Organization (WTO) Appellate Body announced that it has rejected an appeal from Argentina to overturn a previous WTO ruling which found that Argentina's import licensing regime had unlawfully increased barriers to trade. The U.S., the European Union, and Japan first initiated the dispute settlement case in May 2012, and the WTO issued its ruling against Argentina in August 2014.
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) released a statement on the affirmed ruling, noting that "Argentina's protectionist measures impact a broad segment of U.S. exports." The statement also notes that U.S. exports to Argentina reached nearly $11 billion in 2014, with agricultural products accounting for $136 million of this total.
Key to the resolution was the verdict that Argentina may no longer require the Advanced Sworn Import Declaration (otherwise known as Declaración Jurada Anticipada de Importación or "DJAI"), which mandated that all firms seeking to export to Argentina had to first attain approval from the Argentine Government.
Under WTO rules, the panel and appellate reports will be adopted by the WTO within 30 days of circulation at the request of any party to the dispute.

Michael Waltrip
|Like ALT
Waltrip is the younger brother of three-time series champion Darrell. And while that connection certainly hasn't materially harmed his career, it isn't the only reason Waltrip has had a 25-year-career at NASCAR's top level.
Waltrip began racing go-karts around Kentucky in the mid-1970s. But his career took flight in 1981, when he captured the Mini-Modified division track championship at Kentucky Motor Speedway. A year later, Waltrip entered the Goody's Dash Series and in 1983, he won that series' championship. He was also voted that circuit's most popular driver in 1983 and 1984 (perhaps another clue to his career longevity).
Nationwide Career
Waltrip is one of those drivers who actually made his Cup debut before making his first Nationwide start (in his case, his first Cup start came in 1985; Nationwide waited until 1988). In fact, over the course of 20 seasons, Waltrip has ever only run one full season. But that year, 2004, Waltrip won once and finished a career-best 13th in points. And in 270 career starts, or roughly nine seasons, he has won 11 races and finished in the top five 48 other times. It's a measure of success that Waltrip has never been able to match at the next level.
NASCAR Career
Waltrip's Cup career has been characterized by futility. Indeed, until he finally won the Daytona 500 in 2001, he held the dubious distinction of running more Cup races (462) without a win than any other driver in series history. Though he would go on to win another race in 2002 and two more in 2003, including another Daytona 500, each of Waltrip's four wins has come in restrictor-plate races. Even more, he's never finished better than 12th in the overall standings, a position he last achieved in 1995.
In 2006, Waltrip announced that he would become an owner/driver in 2007, a surprising decision to say the least. In addition to his stunning lack of success as a driver, recent NASCAR history is littered with drivers, many more successful than Waltrip, who have attempted this difficult double. They failed. Waltrip seems poised to repeat their failures, having qualified for just 14 races in 2007; and while he made each of the 36 races in 2008, he managed one top five and a measly 29th-place finish in points.

$5 million benefits bill to be sent to BCTF, if no deal
B.C.'s school district negotiators have served notice that they will bill the teachers' union for June employee benefit premiums if a contract settlement isn't reached by the end of the school year.
The cost of benefit premiums for the 40,000 members of the B.C. Teachers' Federation is estimated at about $5 million a month. It would be paid by the employer only if a contract settlement is ratified by union members by the end of June, and if the BCTF does not go out on a full-scale strike by that time.
Peter Cameron, chief negotiator for the B.C. Public School Employers' Association (BCPSEA), proposed the benefit charge as a new strategy to respond to the BCTF's multi-stage strike action that began April 23. Teachers are refusing out-of-class supervision and communication with administration as the first phase.
B.C.'s Labour Relations Act allows for the transfer of benefit costs to unions that withdraw services, but Cameron said it has never been used in a teacher dispute before.
BCTF president Jim Iker said last week he considers the transfer of benefit costs to be "retaliatory and punitive" at a time when teachers are still providing full classroom service and meeting with parents.
BCPSEA also notified the union that a year-end "administrative day" set for June 27 will be cancelled unless the dispute is settled. Teachers would lose a day's pay.
The second phase of the BCTF plan is rotating one-day strikes in B.C.'s 60 school districts, which could begin at any time. Phase three, a full-scale strike, would require another vote by BCTF members.
In a memo to school board chairs and superintendents Wednesday, BCPSEA interim CEO Mike Roberts said there has been "no recent progress at the bargaining table and no indication from the union that it is willing to significantly compromise on any of its current demands."
Roberts reiterated BCPSEA's position that its wage offer of 6.5% over six years is consistent with other wage settlements for provincial employees. The BCTF tabled a new wage offer Wednesday with raises and cost-of-living increases estimated at 15.9% over four years.

Having test data readily available is key to successful test data management. If test data needs to be created, software delivery can be delayed and additional costs can be incurred. With test data generation, testers can create production-quality data quickly and deliver on-time, with reliable application test results.
The Informatica solution for test data management enables your IT organization to create functionally intact, secure test data subsets of database applications. IT organizations supporting database applications often make multiple copies of production environments for development, testing, and training. However, as production databases grow, so do the copies, eating up costly storage space and system resources and putting companies at risk for financial penalties due to data breaches. With the Informatica solution for test data management, companies can avoid:
Instead of using full sets of production data, the Informatica solution for test data management enables your company to:
The Informatica solution for test data management creates secure test data management subsets while minimizing cost, risk, and development times. By automating the test data management subset and masking operations, the solution allows your IT team to focus on other development activities. Test data management even reduces the size of your test and development environments so you can reallocate reclaimed storage space for other uses.
The Informatica solution for test data management can also copy data repeatedly from production to create secure, current nonproduction environments for test data management. Subset policies for test data management can include any combination of rules—such as age of data, department, country, data range, or value. And prepackaged test data management policies for applications such as Oracle Applications or SAP further streamline development and testing.
Creates database subsets from large, complex databases to better manage nonproduction systems.

Wow, super cool build! Will this work on double-paned windows (like ones for cold climates)? Also, will the subjects of your surveillance be able to see a laser dot? Thank you.
i dont know how to detect this IR beam and then after striking on window i.e target how to demodulate this IR beam into audible sound. i seriously need help please
That said, it is done almost exactly the same way. You just need to adjust the power supply to fit the laser you are using.
stick C4 in any object, light it and it will instantly be cooler.
It has only been tested by transmitting sound but other encoded data should work to.
Also this actually is direct communication except it is transmitting data in area of affected particles that cannot be heard (the electromagnetic spectrum)
Now the neighbors are no longer safe!
what about the receiver? a kinda 2way mirror at 45D to split the beam in two then use two phototransistors?
If you want to see a working 2ch system in action, check out my blog post where a few guys and I tried it out. Rough schematics and video included:
Happy Hacking,
Search "audio transformer".
(I am not affiliated with this vendor)
also i have a suggestion. there are some goggles you can make with theatrical gel that lets you see along the ir spectrum here is the link
let me know what it does if you try it!

I'll make this quick......
On behalf of every sane member of FinHeaven (and guests who view the board), I wanted to address this "Breaking News" rash that has gotten out of control.
When you type the words "BREAKING NEWS" in a thread title, you are grabbing people's attention and elevating their level of excitment/anticipation/fear/etc. And when people click on the thread, the last thing they want to read is some BS crap or a joke. You may think it's cute. But the other 99% think it's annoying. It also jeopordizes the credibility of this board and makes for a less enjoyable experience on the boards.
Well, I won't allow it to go on. If you post the words "Breaking News" in a thread title, it had damn well better be breaking news. Consider it an "executive order" of sorts......and a warning. We're all tired of it. And I'm done playing around.
Also, on another note........if you create a thread regarding a signed player or some other newsworthy or outrageous claim, please post a link to the information. Or at the very least, cite where you got the information from. It's all about credibility and accountability.
Again, this will not become a place where BS rumors fly. Obviously it's ok to report rumors that you've read and such. And this is an internet message board. But please, use some discretion. I'm simply addressing the blatant stuff.
Finally, I just want to drive home a point regarding the posting of articles. When you start a thread for the purpose of sharing an article with the board, please do not post the entire contents of that article. Instead, post a the first few lines.....or the relevant lines.....and then post a link to the rest of the article. This way we avoid copyright issues.
I feel that by following these simple guidlines, we can make for a more enjoyable browsing experience. And I want to say that, by and large, most of our members already follow these guidelines. And for that I'm grateful.
That is all. Thank you for your time.

Tig Sheilding gas

Hobart Handler 210 w/DP3035 - Great 240V small Mig

Miller Dynasty 200DX with cooler of my design, works for me
Miller Spectrum 375 - Nice Cutter
For 3/16" angle, the method of choice for me would be MIG first, stick, second, and TIG last. Your will use more gas in TIG than the other methods...another factor in your TIG is the type of collet body or gas screen lens, on your torch. I run mine around 15cfh to 20cfh. Too much gas will cause eddying in the gas field and suck in air...that's a no-no.Arcin' and Sparkin', Rocky D

Soaring costs cause Vale to halt Argentinean potash project
10:27 AM MDT | March 19, 2013 | —Francinia Protti-Alvarez
Vale informed the Argentinean government that it is suspending work on a potash project at Rio Colorado, Argentina, according to brief statement issued on 11 March. Vale says that the project is not "in line with Vale's commitment to discipline in capital allocation and value creation" in the current macroeconomic environment. Vale says it is evaluating alternatives to improve the economics of the project and could reevaluate the decision. A report from Brazilian newspaper Folha de S. Paulo on 10 March says that Vale had been considering...

Indonesia – Fried Chicken Dinner at Ayam Goreng MBok Berek, Jogjakarta, Central Java
I had one of the best dinners I'd ever had in Indonesia today at Jogjakarta's legendary Ayam Goreng MBok Berek – yes, *THE* restaurant which purportedly started the Jogja fried chicken craze. Today, it's run by the original MBok Berek (Ronodikromo)'s great-great-grandson, Agus Setyanto, a friendly, genial host who took a genuine interest in his clients.
What we had today:
- Jogja-style fried chicken, which were free-range ("kampung") chicken which had been simmered in Javanese "bumbu" spices first, then deep-fried to a crisp upon order. The fried chicken was topped with crisp tapioca flour-spice mix to form a delicate lacy golden-brown crust.
- Golden crisp-fried "gurame" freshwater fish, which was actually the tastiest dish we had this evening.
- Deep-fried tempe. This was okay, but not as tasty as the version one gets in Malang, East Java.
- "Nasi goreng" (Indonesian fried rice) – extra-spicy version served up here with a fried egg and a piece of fried chicken.
- "Bebek bakar" - barbecued duck, basted in sweet dark soysauce. It was pretty tasty but chewy.
- "Sop asem" – spicy sweet-sour vegetable soup. Unfortunately, we found out that MBok Berek actually made tepid, one-dimensional "sop asem". Not recommended here.
Liked the keropok (prawn crisps) though - fresh, and don't have the floury, mealy taste of inferior quality ones. Definitely a must-visit for any foodie to Indonesia.
Address details
Ayam Goreng MBok Berek
Jl Raja Magelang Km 9
Mulungan Kulon,
Sleman, Jogjakarta
Jawa Tengah, Indonesia
Tel: 0274-8347333
P.S. - The most popular fried chicken chain in Jogjakarta is called Ayam Goreng Ny. Suharti - it's actually started by Mbok Berek's grand-daughter, but is now a rival to the MBok Berek chain itself, as they're run by rival branches of the same family.
I'd not tried the original outlet of Ny. Suharti here in Jogjakarta as its location was quite a distance outside the city centre (about 7km away, according to my hotel concierge) towards the royal town of Solo. But a previous food trip to Ny. Suharti's branch in Surabaya (East Java) was fab!
Also worth noting that Ny. Suharti also served "Nasi Gudeg", a Jogja specialty with curried jackfruit & buffalo hide, and tofu & hard-boiled eggs simmered in soysauce, palm sugar & Javanese "bumbu" spices. MBok Berek do not offer this item.
re: klyeoh
My tips for going to Ayam Goreng Ny. Suharti is on your way to/from the airport. I took a cab from Phoenix hotel in downtown to the restaurant. Since it is on the main road, it was very easy to get another cab to the airport.
From my other dine out experiences in Yogja, the cab driver would stay and wait for you in the parking lot or around the block without extra charge on the wait time. they are just too happy to get a customer without driving around.

Guest blog by ASPCA Senior Feline Behavior Counselor Katie Watts
Hal is a four-year-old cat who was found on the street, abandoned in a box. His teeth were severely decayed, and he was in extreme pain—so much so that he couldn't groom himself and had become severely matted as a result. After arriving at the shelter, Hal was groomed, all his fur shaved. He also had to have several teeth extracted.
He was soon on the road to recovery, but it was clear that the ordeal had left him traumatized. Hal spent the first week huddled at the back of his cage, curled up in a small ball and barely moving. He was given a quiet space to settle and provided with a box to snuggle in and a "privacy curtain."
Several staff members started trying to make friends, offering him tasty treats and hoping to coax him out of his shell. Slowly but surely, Hal began to warm up. First it was a slight rub on a hand as he was petted, and then he was at the front of his cage, ready with rubs and purrs.
When he was ready, Hal was taken to visit a staff office, where he could be socialized further. From that point, he couldn't get enough attention, and it was clear all Hal wanted was a warm lap and some chin scratches. He was so affectionate toward people that he would even sit at the office door, patiently waiting for a staff member to return, and once she was back, he happily settled on her lap again.
Hal has come a long way and survived a great deal. He now waits patiently, always at the door of his cat condo, ready to jump in a lap at the first opportunity. He even grooms his new friends by licking them as they pet him! All he needs now is a quiet home with somebody who will provide him with the love he so deserves.
Hal is available for adoption at the ASPCA Adoption Center. If you are interested in adopting please call our Adoptions department in New York City at (212) 876-7700, ext. 4900. To learn more about Hal, please visit his page.

"We are proud to renew our naming rights sponsorship of the 2011 Formula 1™ Qantas Australian Grand Prix," said Mr Joyce.

Women's Eileen West Carnation Flannel Nightgown
Women's Eileen West Carnation Flannel Nightgown
Eileen West Carnation Flannel Nightgown 3 3
My favorite gown This gown is more than expected or even hoped for. It's beautiful. It's comfortable. It's generously cut without looking dowdy or tent-like. My big concern was how it would wash and how much it would shrink--no problems at all, I'm happy to report! There are special details all over this lovely nightie--triple pleating on the sleeve bottoms with really pretty tatting at the wrist and neckline. Lovely real shell buttons in a flower shape for the placket...more pleating (trapunto, really) around the neckline...a very pretty mint color with soft pink and white flowers. The flannel is thick enough that this is a warm lounge item--I just went out to my chickens in it, and it's 28 degrees outside. I did wear a blue barn coat over the gown to "complete my look!" January 3, 2013
beautifully made, high quality flanel There was no skimping on either the quality, quantity or detailing on this nightgown. The fit is larger than I expected and I needed to return the 1X for a large. In blouses I usually wear a 1X. The "skirt" of the nightgown is very roomy and flows when I walk. How Wonderfully Warm I'll be this winter! November 12, 2013
pretty & so soft This is a pretty color nightgown. I was very disappointed to find after I washed my nightgown that it runs very large. I wear a medium and it was swimming on me. Every nightgown I've ordered from Vermont was a size medium and it always fit perfectly until this one. November 4, 2013

Calgary FlamesThis panorama, taken by James Blakeway, captures the action of the Calgary Flames playing at their hometown arena. Founded in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1972, the team was known as the Atlanta Flames until moving to Calgary in 1980. The club is the third major professional ice hockey team to represent the city of Calgary, following the Calgary Tigers (192127) and the Calgary Cowboys (197577). The club was named after the famous fire of Atlanta started by General William Tecumseh Sherman in 1864. The fire was considered the beginning of the end of the Civil War and destroyed the key southern city of Atlanta. Upon moving to Calgary, the team kept the name in honor of the city's oil industry.
A must for any true Flames hockey fan! Printed in brilliant color and perfect focus on high-quality print stock, and complete with a sharp white border that includes the official team logo, the commemorative title, and a brief descriptive paragraph, this Saddledome game night panorama is both a beauty for the wall, and a great collector's item for years to come. Perfect for the wall of home, office, locker room or classroom!

Your opera ticket is your train ticket
A purchased ticket entitles the holder to use local transport on the day of the performance, from 5 hours before curtain up until the public transport system closes down for the night. If you wish to travel first class you will have to up-grade.
Subscription ticket holders' passes also entitle them to use free public transport to travel to and from performances. This does unfortunately NOT apply if you have purchased your ticket through Print@Home-Tickets. We hope this will be possible in the future, when the RMV have come up with a way to make this fraud free.
FREE "Child Minding" at Oper Frankfurt
During performances which take place on afternoons we offer free child minding (click on this link to find dates when this service is available). Please contact Janine Köster, telephone number +49 (0)69 212 37 348, to make arrangements.
The offer applies only to children between the ages of three and eight: the children are looked after by two teachers and will also be given something to eat - at no cost. When you hand your child/children over to the carers you must let them know exactly where you are sitting so that you can be found quickly if the need arises.
Programmes on sale at the Advance Box Office
You can buy your programme for the opera when purchasing your ticket at the Städtischen Bühnen's advance box office on Willy Brandt Platz (programmes for new productions are not available until one day before the opening night). Programmes cost €5. Exceptions to the rule are the less expensive programmes for our productions in the Blockenheimer Depot and the programme for Die Zauberflöte, which is a real book. Our regular free and informative opera magazine is also available at the advance box office.
Introductory talks before the performance
Oper Frankfurt's dramaturges offer free introductory talks (in GERMAN about the synopsis, context and production) which last about 15 minutes and begin half an hour before performances begin. These take place in the opera house's Holzfoyer (on the first floor) or in the foyer of the Bockenheimer Depot.

We've seen Prisaz posting some insightful comments in our Forum Feedback and Suggestions board about everything from ideas on new board categories and names to helpful links to our Advanced Search functionality, all in an effort to help make our community better.
Justin has been busy since 2008 posting answers like this one, about FiOS Mutli-room DVRs.
We've watched SuzyQ and StreetDocRN literally tracking down Verizon employees to see if they could help troubleshoot some specific account questions. Which in fact they did end up Solving!
Nmchileman amazed us with his knowledge of Verizon acronyms and functionality when he answered a customer's recent post about his new wireless plan.
Dslr595148 has also been a member of our community since 2008, helping solve the most common questions related to Verizon's high speed Internet.
Although SanDman and Xtremeberry are two of our newest Community Leaders they've already posted hundreds of messages about Verizon wireless in an effort to help the community understand the latest and newest Verizon features and tools available.
Thank you to tsauter, KenAF and CapnTrips who continue to help customers with their FiOS TV questions. Check out this most recent solved issue regarding new custom questions about their DVR settings.
And we can't forget matcarl and Keyboards who worked together to solve this FiOS customer DVR question.
Thank you again to all of our 2010 Community Leaders. If you like what they are doing, please remember to tell them by giving them kudos, marking their answers as "Accepted Solutions" or dropping them a note, here, as a comment to this blog.
Why aren't other people ever noticed? Why always the CL leaders? Kinda being unfair if you ask me.
Hi TheGreatOne -- Good point! There ARE a lot of other community members doing a stellar job of keeping this community a great place to be. Don't worry...this is only our second blog post...we've got lots more coming. And if you have ideas for future blog posts, let me know. That's the point of the Community Beat blog -- its a place to talk about the members and happenings in our Verizon Community. Thanks for reading!
Thanks for the response hollyb. I hope there is another blog in the feature that includes other people besides CL's. However, I don't think I am going to be around to read it. I am almost looking forward to leaving these forums for good.
Hi, I totally agree with Holly. I, personally have been reading your posts, especially in the Blackberry forums. They are good, well thought-out responses to what users are looking for...good advice. You are doing a stellar job in my opinion. I personally would miss your contributions to the forums. Thank you for being "TheGreatOne" in the forums...
While I may not contribute to the whole forum as much as TGO has, I can feel for her. There are plenty other posters here who kind of deserve the recognition and don't get it as much as you would think (if ever).
Don't get me wrong, I really don't know where we would be without NMchileman or SuzyQ, however, I think it's also very fair to let the others, especially who aren't deemed CL's get noticed.
I know for Example that StreetDoc has an aptitude with BB devices. So if I ever were to own a BB, I know who to go to.
Hi, supitsmike,
Thanks for those kind words. There are countless members in the forums such as yourself and TGO of whom I consider integral parts of the forums. You see their names often in posts and replies in the forums. True, a majority of the posts are what I call "one-post-wonders" of which are post with people just looking for a quick answer. Often, they don't return to the forums unless they have a problem. They don't take time to give a kudos or at least respond by saying thanks...I'm cool with that. I think you and others will see this Community Beat blog will have some really good articles in the coming months. You and others will be pleased by what Verizon has in store for this blog...and I might even learn a few things along the way about the community that I did not even know. Mike, thanks for being a part of this community...you and all of the countless others.
In all fairness to HollyB - her blog post WAS entitled "Whe we love our Community Leaders", and it IS posted in a very NEW blog, so I am anticipating an article coming up about other useful, helpful, valuable community members who should also get some recognition for their efforts, time, and expertise!!
There are so many folks who help out it would make a very long article to name them all - so patience O Great One - I'm sure your turn is coming....
Perhaps highlighting one or two boards with each blog post would be helpful - what kind of questions get asked and answered and WHO are to go to folks on those particular boards.....that may also help out with some of the cross-posting by giving people a better idea what to ask where.
They aren't so much "kind" as they are "true." I agree that the actual 'community' base that we have here is small. There are perhaps maybe 10 of us that really stay on these forums and look it up every day, even at home (if that's not where we do it the most).
Though that doesn't go to say that we can't prevent the 'drive by posters' from being drive by posters. Honestly, I think it's easier to have an actual forum dedicated to introducing themselves, you know people like You, I, GTO, NM, Suzy, and much more would be there to welcome them. It'd create a more community base feeling - and encourage that we all like to be here (Not that I don't).
I just think that sometimes it's hard to be a community, when it sometimes feels like it's more or less a race on here. I enjoy helping people, I think that we all do--it's pretty transparent as none of us get paid to post here. However where does the line of "we're a community" and "this forum is strictly to help others, and the more you help, the higher color you get and the cooler you look to others" begin and end?
And thanks for thanking me for being with this community. I came along when Android phones where introduced, and I've left my fingerprint on here with the Android and Me 101 thread, as it literally helps people every day, and I enjoy helping people around the forum itself.
And of course time to time I like dabbling my feet in other forums.
I do not consider myself a "Top Dog" I was offered a chance to be a CL when the group was formed, and of course I said yes. There are many people that contribute to these boards and it rather takes me back to my BBS days with running a Fido board and dial up lines. Everyone here that enjoys being part of this community and has the heart to want to help with what ever ability that have, deserves all the respect possible. There are many newer members that have well exceeded my number of posts and solutions. Everyone has there own reasons for being here. So my hat is off to all those who participate. So please if you enjoy helping people you should stick around and do so. If you are just looking for help, I hope you find a solution here. I enjoy helping and I learn things frequently. Sometimes I am flat out wrong, and do not mind being told so.
Kudos to all.
After the previous posting.
I forgot to say thank you for the nice loving comments from the Verizon Admins and Mods. One of your Top Dogs. Woof woof. I sure hope TheGreatOne and others stick around. There helpfulness is not worthless.

PALE ORCHESTRA, THE: Mirror Man Act 1
The Orchestra- Andy Diagram, Keith Moline, Peter Hammil, Chris Cutler, Jack Kidney, David Thomas. Singers and speakers- Robert Kidney, Linda Thompson, David Hild Jackie Leven, Jane Bom-bane, David Thomas. Commentary and voiceover- Bob Holman. In July 1998 David Thomas programmed three days of Disastodrome at London's Southbank. The centrepiece was David's epic journey into the heartland where it's all road and sky and one-horse towns on the outside and failure, deserts and tumbleweed on the inside. There are great stories and texts here, daring to be openly poetic. And songs winding in and out of them. On their way to somewhere and an unusual and courageous experiment with form. Bob's Kidney and Holman are a revelation and it is wonderful to hear Linda Thompson back on the boards. This is more than a record.

Congratulations to everyone who won. I'm really suprised about AW7 winning a mod of the year award seeing as it was only out for about 5 days before the end of the year, and alot of people don't like Postal. Anyway... Thanks to everyone that voted!
This competition needs no introduction. For the past month the community has been voting for their favorite mods. The votes were cast and the results are in. There are a few surprize packets but all in all, the results reflect the 2005 mod making year.
Posted by INtense! on Jan 21st, 2006 Page 1 of 6
The problem with Something of the Year Awards is that everyone's taste is different and there are over 3,000 mods competing to be in the top 30. One person may like blinding paced gameplay, with gibs and glory decided every second while others like slow and strategic team play. You can't please everyone and we don't intend to - hence we let *you* the community vote for your top mods and we throw in a few of our favorites along the way.
This is one area we are always criticized in, the fact that these awards recognize the most popular mods and not necessarily the best. I certainly don't disagree, it is a shame that some brilliantly through and detailed mods made for games with a smaller community don't make the cut. But we must all keep in mind that there is a reason *why* these mods are so popular and it isn't because they are bribing 1,000's of people!
With this in mind let's discuss the year that was 2005. Compared to previous years, it felt a little slow due to a slew of new games been introduced with new SDK's to learn. As mod teams made the switch to the next generation engines, so the learning process re-began and it took quite some time before we started to see what the new breed of mods were capable of doing. We are still a fair way off maximizing these engines potential so there are certainly exciting times ahead.
2004 was Half-Life 1's year and 2005 is Half-Life 2's year with mods from other games such as Battlefield, the UT series and Doom 3 also making the cut. Valve really has recognized the importance of mods and capitalized on the mod making movement. Their continual support and close ties with the mod making community has placed them in a position of power and the path they have blazed is been chased by the other game developers. Proof of this is the sheer number of mods made on their engine which have since gone pro. Their community is a force to be reckoned with and whilst they may be knocked off their perch in 2006, in 2005 they still reign supreme.
Without further aimless banter let's get onto the awards!

Not a single RTS, that seriously sucks.
Righto, I'm fine with the BMS Team , i'm fine with BMS and where it is.
I think the BMS team is quite talented , maybe the best mod team there is but i've talked to a few in the team and they say the same thing about Kal , i just stated my point... Everyone has an opioion... YOu guys love him , i think he dosnt deserve the attention hes got.
Said and said, i didnt want to start a war or anything BLue Wolf so back down.
*bark bark*
I think everyone should stop arguing over Garrys Mod and get on with other discussions. Garrys Mod is controversial. He took code from a developer of JB mod who gave it to him, and when JB mod said it was their code, Garry said he didn't know and kept the code in Garrys Mod. Garry and JB started the same way, except JB mode went down due to the massive advertising Garry had going out.
Either way, it has such a huge community that it was going to win regardless so congrats to Garry for his win.
Folks, stop talking about it. Garrys Mod is Garrys Mod, simple. If you want to complain about it winning, head over to the Dystopia forums where they seem pretty choked about.
ha ha Garry, you made my monocale fly out
Go us!
Tetris for best story, that makes no sense. Dystopia should have been most hyped too. Other than that everything esle looks well placed.
Definitely, Dys was the most hyped
Best story? tetris!?
Beyond garrys mod, trench warfare, and battlegrounds 2 not really any mods I like listed here.
Garry's Mod sucks
You guys deserved it! Best of luck in '06.
Grats everyone!
Tetris was chosen because we like to stir up a little controversy. Read why it won.
And Dystopia wasn't chosen for most hyped because we like to mix things up.
Didn't Garry (from Garry's mod) steal from other mods and then threaten to sue them?
that's as mabey, but he's a loveable scoundral
Woot, go us!
21st Century Warfare, has changed Battlefield 2 for the better but it doesn't belong amongst the full fledged mods in this list imo.
Good award show :)
Congrats Everybody!
No really.
"Didn't Garry (from Garry's mod) steal from other mods and then threaten to sue them?"
Maybe not, but the latest versions of Garry's mod are just scripted 'games' written by OTHER PEOPLE thrown in and called 'Content'. I mean, that'd be like Dystopia decompiling CounterStrike and putting it in as a 'minigame' and calling it original content.
Big congratulations out to the top mods and the top upcoming. It feel in line somewhere in the region I expected, but Dystopia beat my fourth I estimated for them, so great job Teddy and the team. Garry's Mod, hands down, was going to win. Its massive success has stretched straight across the board in terms of playability and replayability: both of which are critical factors in many popular mods. A congrats goes out to Garry Newman: another medal to add to his collection (or which some will call his ego).
The Top Genre, again I agree with most of them. The Tetris was weird, but come on now folks: for a community which registered Red Orchestra as a Sports Mod, we needed some more irrational, uncomprehendable and outrageous actions to keep it normal for ModDB. Once again, congrats. A big big congrats goes out to Insurgency and Fortress Forever, the two other Half-Life 2 mods that made it into the Best Upcoming lineup. I was personally betting that Insurgency would have taken Best Mod, beating us out, but when they scored third I was shocked.
Anyways, a great run around this time and I'm pumped we got into the Best Upcoming.
Well reported and nice feature. Generally good results, though I think that with MINEVRA around, perhaps Metastasis could have got best story.
congratulation to the winner!
but where are these Editors' Choice Awards?
# Best sound
# Best graphics
# Biggest disappointment
Definitely worthy of winning action mod of the year.
Good to see BMS - other then that - i expected to see what i did.
go bg go!
god doesnt like the way you talk about your kittens.
"I was personally betting that Insurgency would have taken Best Mod, beating us out, but when they scored third I was shocked. "
That's probably since we've been quiet for quite a while now... but that's about to change.
Especially since the beta-testing has just begun! ;>
I was expecting you guys to take it because of the beta-testing thing you guys put out while the voting was on. I was pumped nonetheless and congrats Argyll, I hope to see a release from you guys soon.
Is there a reason HL2 Capture the Flag wasn't on here? That is one of the best released mods for Source... it sucks it wasn't listed.
stupid dragonball z fans
they always ruin these kind of awards
"Maybe not, but the latest versions of Garry's mod are just scripted 'games' written by OTHER PEOPLE thrown in and called 'Content'. I mean, that'd be like Dystopia decompiling CounterStrike and putting it in as a 'minigame' and calling it original content."
No, it'd be like Dystopia putting maps in there that Teddy hasn't created and calling it original content. Oh wait that's how it works.
GMod was designed so people could add their scripted gamemodes and weapons in - it wasn't an accident.
Don't get me wrong half life 2 is the game I love the most.
But there have been some hl2 mods that did not even get into this list that is much better then many in here. Garrys mod.... well nice and fun one or two times but ehh there stoppes my intrest.
Heh, kind of a surprise that you should pick a doom3 mod for an award, not that I mind, I'm completely utterly proud and appreciate it a lot. And the best story category would be our mods strong point. God knows we've been trying to make the story unforgettable. Year in writing and we're still lacking some stuff!
Thanks :)
I tested gmod. And honestly its not a mod. As i understod it, it just gives you admin comands over source engine. Its pretty much something to goof off with for 30-60 minutes and than never again. I admit its a nice idea and it deserves a placing on the avards but no way its a mod of the year.
Like the feature says, Gmod has spawned so many forms of entertainment, It doesn't matter how short-lived it is for each person, the fact of the matter is that so many people have tried it out and played around with the Source engine. Many of these people have started thinking about what could be fun gameplay and have started making their own content for Gmod or otherwise. Garry's mod is a household name in the modding community and has achieved this accolade because of the fact that it has no set gameplay. Essentially its a mod that lets you make your own game, it is to computer games what lego was to toys. Besides, in this part of the competition it's the votes that count and Gmod beat its nearest competitor by almost 2:1! All the other mods had the same conditions for winning, Gmod simply has the biggest fanbase, how can you argue with that?
Ok, maybe I'm a bit behind on my info but I never heard the part of the story where garry thretend to sue. People did however claim that garry stole his matirials from JB mod. Though JB did come first, all he truly did was take some matirials valve themselfs left in and expanding on them.
I never used any code from JBMod. I don't know why people think I did. I really did not.
I mean think about it - what in GMod could use JBMod's code? The physgun is included with the SDK.
Also - I never advertised GMod. I really didn't. I don't have a awesome "promoter" or whatever some mod teams have (I call them "hangers on"). GMod got promoted by people because they liked it - not because I sent everyone an email asking them to pimp it. The most I ever did was send an email to hl2net/hlf/moddb/phl when I released a big update - but every mod should be doing that anyway. I'd also like you to note that on the promotional front GMod has NEVER been mentioned in one of Valve's "weekly updates" - a lot of the released mods have - so if it was all about promotion they should have the lead there.
I really don't get the "It's not a mod" statement. If it wasn't a mod you'd just be playing Half-Life 2.
never seen that comic but man is it funny. Especially the G-man scene lololol how he runs and hides to make it seem as if he disappered.
lol its so true!
definately not best mod in my opinion but CONGRATS! ^^
I didnt think you deserved mod of the year but after seeing the votes you got and I releasized that out of all the mods in 2005 your mod allows you to do the most in one mod so i went out and asked 10 people if they thought the same if they voted for you. 8 said you can do the most in only one mod and that was GMOD and the other 2 were all about the mod they worked on. My point is I do think you deserve the award!

Not everyone is going to be happy with mod awards from moddb.com or if it was from modawards.com. Anyways my point is I do think you deserve the award!
There was no doubt in me thtat GMod would wint Mod of the Year! It has THE biggest community i have ever seen! So many mini mods to it! There was no doubt in me that it woiuld not win! AWSM JOB GARRY!

Recipe by Mary A. Milan
"My husband is not a big fish eater, but this recipe had him looking for seconds. What makes it a joy for me? It is so quick and easy that it qualifies as a busy weeknight selection."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

4 (4 ounce)
tilapia fillets
2 tablespoons
Miami-style sazon seasoning (sazon completa)
1 serving
olive oil cooking spray (such as PAM®)
1/2 cup
grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons
butter-margarine blend (such as Smart Balance®), melted
1 1/2 tablespoons
fat-free mayonnaise (such as Kraft®)
2 tablespoons
lemon juice
2 teaspoons
grated lemon zest
1/8 teaspoon
dried basil
1/8 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon
onion powder
1/8 teaspoon
celery salt
Amazing tilapia recipe. All three of my kids loved this. I didn't have Sazon seasoning on hand so I used a mix of onion, garlic, paprika and parsley. Love the fact it is low carb!!!
So good that my husband wants to serve to company three days from now!!!!
Too salty by far! The overall flavor also completely overwhelmed the fish.

This dish was really good! I would recommend doubling the parmesan mixture so that you can use it also as a dipping sauce
Like many cooks I substitute for what I have on hand. Having no idea what miami style seasoning is I used a sweet-hot seasoning and italian herbs instead of basil. The result was wonderful and complemented by the brown rice that accompanied it. The next day I sautéed the leftovers of both with onions and carrots in olive oil which was equally delicious. I will use this two-day formula again. Thanks for sharing.
SOOO good, probably one of the best fish recipes I've tried. For those people who don't like fish this recipe doesn't have much of a "fishy" taste so you should try it. This is better than the "Broiled Tilapia Parmesan" Recipe that is also on allrecipes, I think because of the added seasoning step. I searched for a recipe for Sazon seasoning on google and though it's a little extra work to mix up yourself you can definitely taste the difference (I've tried both with and without the seasoning and it's huge!). I too had difficulty finding Sazon in my grocery stores - so I made my own after searching on google, 1 tsp each of: salt, garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, cumin, corriander.
I don't think I've ever eaten tilapia so quickly! This recipe is divine. I even licked the plate when I was done. Thanks for the fantastic recipe!
This was a fantastic recipe. My wife is extremely critical of fish recipes and she just gobbled this up. I didn't have any sazon seasoning, but I had something called 'Spike' seasoning which is a similar all-purpose seasoning that we used instead. Other than that, we followed the recipe exactly. We might use less butter (used actual butter not margarine) next time as I felt it was richer than it needed to be to impart all the flavor. I also used low-fat mayonnaise instead of fat free. The extra calories from the low-fat instead of fat-free mayo & full fat butter probably also contributed to rich taste. Either way, super yummy and will definitely make again!
I'm a person who never really liked fish, but I wanted to start eating it since it is so healthy for you. I came across this recipe and decided to give it a try. It was very easy and quick to prepare and cook. Online recipes that I've tried before lie about the prep time and take much longer. This one was true to it's word. The tilapia came out great. As I said before, I don't really like fish, but I like this. It is very flavorful, and following the instructions allowed me to prepare it without a fishy taste.
