modern boxing.. where you can lose two fights in a row, cherry pick an untested oponent, make them move up in weight and walk home with a title.
anyone else starting to think sulaiman isnt greedy at all, that he simply has a vendetta against boxing and is out to destroy it?

I did not know the Molina fight was for some kind of bogus title. Sad really but he is real good at beating up little guys. Maybe there should be a champion dwarf basher title.If he needs to show off titles and look big he should put a Burger King crown on and suround himself with dwarfs. King Khan the scourge of gnomes.

A lot of titles these days, but honestly you guys are abusing Khan too much. A lot of you guys were saying Khan was going to get beaten by Molina. Don't kid yourselves now. Every time Khan gets knocked out, It's with some pretty devastating shots. In fact, I don't think his chin is as bad as people make it seem. He ate some serious shots from Peterson ( who was on Ped's btw), and survived what a lot of fighters wouldn't with Maidana. Don't get me wrong, Maidana is not the best fighter, but dude hits with bad intentions. He got completely nailed by Danny Garcia by a lucky shot. If anybody thinks that wasn't a lucky shot go check the replay, dude closed his eyes and tossed out the largest haymaker he had. Khan still got up, and took quite a beating before the ref stopped the fight.
Khan bounced back from a loss, yeah, he didn't deserved a belt, but he is entitled to take a easy fight after a k.o loss. He has to see if it's still in him. You guys hate too hard on this website, honestly.
Between the *******s and ****in *****'s there's almost no in between. Is Khan an all time great, no. Not at the moment, but is dude exciting to watch? Absolutely. You all gotta stop with this rampant online penis* envy and get money my nlggas.

Miami, Florida (PRWEB) August 22, 2013
The Florida Department of Corrections reported that the state's taxpayers are paying out about $300 million a year to house people incarcerated for drug offenses, as reported by the Bradenton Herald (8/19) in their news article titled, Push for leniency in drug sentencing has been a hard sell in Florida.

"Odds Against, a powerhouse quintet, four of which are large intimidating dudes, burned through song after song after the only skinny guy, vocalist Matt McBee, announced before starting the set, "We decided to play Christmas songs tonight." Laughing at this farce, the crowd was excited for Odds Against's blasting sound, often chanting along to gang vocals supported by guitarists Andy Olson and Greg Garcia. Keeping the rhythm pumping, John Pryor on drums and Toby Olson on bass kept the tempo up and slamming. Odds Against, known for quick, nimble jaunts spanning the punk/hardcore pantheon with razor sharp songs paired down to only the most necessary riffs, expressed the urgency of the moment in its barest form. My heart racing after an intense show, it's easy to understand why Stadium Sports Bar hosted two hard-hitting Wichita bands taking live music to the Nth degree. - See more at: http://f5paper.com/article/odds-against-bring-mayhem-tight-form#sthash.Zn15mcwT.dpuf"

December 10, 2013 After Angelina Jolie announced she has a genetic variant that raises her risk of breast cancer, many women asked their doctors for the test. Insurers will pay for tests only if there's a clear indication that it would help shape medical care. That's often not the case.

"E Komo Mai" means "Welcome or Come in" in Hawaiian and that is what you will feel when you join us at our romantic Hamoa Beach Cottage. Dan and I feel in love with Hana in our 30's and have been blessed to have built this beautiful Cottage for others from all over the world to enjoy. Dan and I reside in the large Plantation House and are not only the owner's but also the caretakers. We purchased the vacant land in 1997 and completed construction in 2000 when we opened for business. The views are stellar from every window of this romantic Cottage including the tropical gardens that my husband has created. He is the resident gardener and you will often find him pruning his garden of exotic palms,banana grove consisting of five varieties, and numerous colorful flowers and plants. Hamoa Beach is just a short one minute walk down a flight a stairs to this isolated cove completely surrounded by lush vegetation. This is Paradise found and "E Komo Mai" to all who come and visit!
Left on Aug 04, 2011 for a stay in December 2008
I have stayed here three times, and every time I get a chance to come to Maui, this is where I will stay. During my stays in Hana I have made many friends locally, which makes it even more attractive.
Hana is the "real Hawaii" and what could be better than to walk across the road to one of the most gorgeous, and uncrowded beaches in the world. The accommodations are wonderful and the hosts (…

Dez Bryant gets mixed reviews
There were varying opinions about former Oklahoma State receiver Dez Bryant's workout on Tuesday in Lufkin, Texas. Some analysts think Bryant's stock is unchanged, while others expect NFL teams to re-evaluate Bryant after what they deemed a good but not great workout at Lufkin High, Bryant's former high school.
Handheld 40-yard dash times among evaluators at Bryant's workout ranged from 4.50 to 4.60 seconds. NFL.com's Bucky Brooks reported that the general consensus among NFL scouts heading into the workout was that Bryant would run in the mid-4.5 range. Bryant's 11-foot, 1-inch broad jump would have been the top effort at the NFL Combine, and his 38-inch vertical jump would have ranked among the top 10 receivers at the Combine. While receiving tosses from former OSU quarterback Bobby Reid during the pass-catching portion of his workout, Bryant struggled to keep his footing at times but showed his natural receiving skills. ESPN.com draft analysts Todd McShay and Steve Muench felt Bryant was solid, writing: "Bryant did nothing to hurt his standing as the top receiver on the board. No one was blown away...

Good but basic
This really is a unique and innovative type of hotel room.
Short of the standard carpet, desk and usual 'creature comforts' you may think you would like in a budget hotel, the Ibis budget is Japanese efficient crossed with Ikea style. The wet room could do with a modicum of a rethink as there was insufficient gradient on the drainage to prevent the enter bathroom from becoming flooded and start to seep out onto the bedroom floor

Definitely worth the money
The room was small but very well designed, quite funky and extremely clean.
Just remember to bring your own toiletries (although one tiny bar of soap was provided)!

budget as the name says
expected some toiletries but only but bar soap.
the lovely hot and strong shower made up for it
customer service a bit abrupt
parking was paid. which added 14 pounds to our costs. If we knew, we would have stayed closer to town centre and pay more. also, parking very small and had to go to overflow with a lots of luggage and a little baby as all party goers left their cars in the main parking. lovely breakfast and coffee machine.

Using UriTemplate to Change Path Parameters in a URI
I have been recently working on a client generator in the wadl.java.net project and I was solving a bug where I wanted to change path parameter on a URI. This turned out to be quite easy with existing classes that are part of the Jersey project.First of all you need a instance of UriTemplate, depending on the very of Jersey this is in a slightly different package - you IDE's automatic import will do the work for you.
String template = "http://example.com/name/{name}/age/{age}"; UriTemplate uriTemplate = new UriTemplate(template);
Then you use match(...) to extract them:
String uri = "http://example.com/name/Bob/age/47"; Map<String, String> parameters = new HashMap<>(); // Not this method returns false if the URI doesn't match, ignored // for the purposes of the this blog. uriTemplate.match(uri, parameters);
Then you can replace the parameters at will and rebuild the URI:
parameters.put("name","Arnold"); UriBuilder builder = UriBuilder.fromPath(template); URI output = builder.build(parameters);

"Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey claims that the Internet sales tax mandate is not a new tax. Nor, according to Ramsey, is it an unfair tax. Ramsey is wrong on both counts." Glenn writes. "I, therefore, invite Lt. Gov. Ramsey for a policy debate on the issue of the Marketplace Fairness Act in a public forum at his convenience."
There are a lot of reasons Ramsey should do this. Jacobs is a constituent and a citizen of Tennessee. Wrestling is an indigenous art form in the state and the athletes who participate in it should be treated with the same respect and seriousness as any athlete in the state. Plus if there's anyone who's given a lot of thought to taxes, it's a performer who plays and pays in multiple states.
But most of all, this would restore the cosmic balance of our state. Every day we Tennesseans have to grapple with the strange reality that one of our politicians once dressed up in a wrestler's mask and terrorized (or at least annoyed) the people of Knoxville while blathering on about his rights. Now we have the chance to have a masked wrestler talk about politics. It would make us even with fate. We could finally put the luchador mask incident behind us.
It's a win all around. Come on, Lt. Governor Ramsey! If you won't do it for the chance to talk policy with an informed constituent, do it so that we can, as a state, finally heal from Halloween '09.

Nokia makes Ovi Maps turn-by-turn navigation free
Nokia is upping the ante in the mobile phone navigation market with the news it is to make walking and driving navigation free as part of a new version of Ovi Maps, as it looks to find ways of enticing smartphone customers to buy Nokia phones.
The new version of Ovi Maps - which will rival Google's navigation offering available on some Android phones, as well as many paid-for offerings from other companies, whilst threatening the in-car GPS market - will include turn-by-turn voice guidance for 74 countries in 46 languages, and traffic information for over 10 countries, as well as detailed maps for over 180 countries.
"It will boost our smartphone sales, it is a big change for the consumer", said Anssi Vanjoki, Nokia executive VP, speaking confidently at the service's London launch, before stating that there are 83 million handsets Nokia has sold over the past couple of years that will be able to use the service straight away.
Aside from data charges from operators, Nokia promises no hidden costs, and the "hybrid vector" nature of Ovi Maps means the application can run without a connection once you've got the correct map and route loaded up.
As with previous Ovi launches, Nokia is throwing the new mapping data out to the developers, hoping to empower developers to create new applications. Consumers however, won't be able to use the app on a PC - only on phones.
The new Ovi Maps is available now for download for 10 Nokia Symbian handsets, with more smartphones due to be added in the coming weeks, while from March 2010 it will be preloaded on all GPS-enabled Nokia smartphones.
Although the N97 won't be included in the initial run of handsets available, Nokia has confirmed that it will be available by the end of the month.
The current list of compatible Nokia devices is as follows: Nokia N97 mini, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition, Nokia E52, Nokia E55, Nokia E72, Nokia 5230, Nokia 6710 Navigator, Nokia 6730 classic and Nokia X6.
You can download the app and find out more at http://www.nokia.com/maps.

MESSAGE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, Ser. No. 125,844, filed Feb. 29, 1980, now Pat. No. 4,380,009, issued Apr. 12, 1983 invented by Ernest L. Long et al and assigned to the same assignee as the present invention.
The present invention relates to a power line communication system.
In a message communication system such as described in the cross-referenced application identified above, there is disclosed therein communications capability in an office environment, utilizing as a transmission medium, in one embodiment, pre-existing conventional AC power lines connected between the various offices in the building. In such an environment, however, a problem which occurs with the transmission of information is the presence of noise, which can seriously affect the capability of detecting and recovering the information transmitted over the power line. Further, as communications traffic increases, problems occur with a system's capability of handling the increased traffic. Typical prior art systems only provide single channel communication while operating with the inherent noise problems described above. There is a need, therefore, for an improved transmission capability which can be utilized in such an environment as described hereinabove and which can overcome the noise problems and can provide multi-channel capability to handle increased communications traffic.
In view of the above background, it is an objective of the present invention to provide an improved power line transmission system.
By way of summary, the present invention provides improved transmission capabilities over a pre-existing power line in, for example, an office environment. The system includes a transmitter located at a first location and a receiver located at a remote second location. The transmitter is connected to the receiver by conventional AC power lines.
The transmitter includes means for generating a narrow band multifrequency shift keyed signal having a first predetermined frequency representing a first state of information (e.g., a digital "1") and a second predetermined frequency representing a second state of information (e.g., a digital "0"). The transmitter also includes means for transmitting the signal over the power line from the first location to the second location.
The receiver includes means for receiving the transmitted signal and means for recovering the information from the transmitted narrow band signal even in the presence of noise in the system, thereby providing an improved power line transmission system.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, by utilizing a narrow band signal, not only is the inherent noise problem significantly reduced but in addition a simultaneous multi-channel capability can be achieved, thereby providing even greater communication transmission capabilities. The narrow required bandwidth per channel enables closer channel frequency spacing than would otherwise be possible. Thus, the number of channels is maximized.
In accordance with the foregoing summary, the present invention achieves the objective of providing an improved power line communication system.
Other objects and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 depicts a block diagram of a power line transmission system.
FIG. 2 depicts a more detailed diagram of a transmitter which forms a portion of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 depicts a timing diagram for illustrating the operation of the system of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 depicts a more detailed diagram of the receiver which forms a portion of FIG. 1.
FIG. 5 depicts a schematic diagram of the transmitter of FIG. 2.
FIG. 6 depicts a schematic diagram of the receiver of FIG. 4.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a power line communication or transmission system for use in establishing communications over an AC power line is depicted wherein information is transmitted over a conventional AC power line or bus 15, which is connected between a transmitter 10 and a receiver 20. The system depicted in FIG. 1 provides a multi-channel capability with substantial freedom from noise.
The term "bus" is intended to mean any communication medium for transmitting information. For example, one or more conductors connected in a communication system comprise a "bus". Also typical AC power lines can include 440 volts, 220 volts, 110 volts and three-phase. The present invention is applicable to any type of commercial, industrial and/or residential wiring that carries AC power.
The system depicted in FIG. 1 utilizes narrow band frequency shift keying (FSK) techniques, a form of frequency modulation in which the modulating wave shifts an output frequency between predetermined values and the output wave generally has no phase discontinuity.
A problem which occurs with wide-band FSK transmission is the presence of noise, which can seriously affect the capability of detecting information transmitted over a conventional AC power line. If a narrow band signal is utilized, it has been observed that not only can the inherent noise problem be significantly reduced but, in addition, a multi-channel capability, as will be described, can be achieved.
Referring now to FIG. 2, the transmitter 10 of FIG. 1 is depicted in more detail. In order to generate the narrow band FSK signal, the transmitter 10 includes a crystal oscillator 50 which generates a predetermined tone for connection to phase and frequency detector circuit 52, which also receives a control signal from multi-channel select circuit 58. The output of the phase/frequency detector circuit 52 is connected as an input to a conventional operation amplifier circuit 54, which also receives as another input, through buffer circuit 64, the information or data to be transmitted. In a preferred implementation, amplifier 54 is desirably biased to 1/2 Vcc.
In FIG. 2, the output of amplifier 54 is connected to a sinewave voltage controlled oscillator 56 (VCO), the square wave output of which is connected as a feedback to channel select circuit 58. The sinewave output of VCO is also connected to a power amplifier 60 and the resulting narrow band FSK signal generated therefrom is transformer coupled to a conventional AC power line 15 via transformer 62.
Referring now to FIG. 3C, the narrow band FSK signal generated is identified as the XMT signal and which, as can be seen, corresponds to the information or data signal depicted in FIG. 3A. FIG. 3B depicts the multi-channel capability of the system, as indicated by the "Ch+f1" and "Ch+f2" designations, which values are dependent upon the channel select circuit 58. FIG. 3B also depicts the smooth transition from one frequency to another during data transmission which aids in minimizing bandwidth usage. Because a narrow band signal is utilized, it is necessary for the transmitter 10 of FIG. 2 to be capable of accurately generating the XMT transmission signal depicted in FIG. 3C.
The parameters of the FSK signal are governed by the particular selection by the channel select circuit 58, which in a preferred embodiment provides a signal in the range between 200-400 KHz and further that the narrow band signal is incremented in steps of, for example, 1 KHz. For example, a "0" state of information could correspond to a 200 KHz frequency signal and a "1" state of information could correspond to a 201 KHz signal, as depicted in FIG. 3. Because the receiver portion 20 of FIG. 1 is looking for a narrow or tight window, the inherent noise problems apparent with an AC power line can be significantly reduced.
In FIG. 2, the multi-channel narrow band FSK signal is then transmitted on AC power line 15 for transmission to the receiver circuit 20, which is depicted in more detail in FIG. 4. In FIG. 2 transformer 62, capacitor 63 and current limiting resistor 64 provide a passive coupling capability, in that transformer 62 isolates 60 cycle power and protects against surge currents and capacitor 63 is a blocking capacitor, only passing RF signals.
In the disclosed implementation as depicted in FIG. 4, a receiver 20 is connected to a conventional AC power line 15 to receive the transmitted narrow band FSK signal (e.g., approximately 6 KHz bandwidth).
The received signal is connected to isolation and bandpass circuit 22 which recovers an RF signal in the 200-400 KHz range.
The recovered RF signal is connected to mixer circuit 24 which also receives a local oscillator (LO) signal from local oscillator 26. Channel select circuit 32, reference oscillator 30 and phase/frequency detector 28 provide means for selecting the particular channel signal transmitted over power line 15. In FIG. 4, oscillator 26, detector 28, oscillator 30 and channel select 32 could be identical to that depicted in FIG. 2 thereby providing a simplified transceiver circuit.
In FIG. 4, the mixer 24 generates an intermediate frequency (IF) signal which is the sum and difference of the mixed LO and RF signals. An advantage of using mixer 24 is the achieving of a narrow bandwidth without requiring high-Q tuned circuits and their resulting problems such as a tendency to ring with noise and requiring precise tuning.
The IF signal has approximately three KHz bandwidth and is connected to low pass filter circuit 34, which eliminates the sum frequency and reduces the difference frequency to a very narrow range.
The output of low pass filter 34 is the filtered difference signal and is connected to amplifier and limiter circuit 36, which amplifies any signal passed within the predetermined bandwidth.
A frequency detector (phase locked loop) 38 receives the amplified signal and provides a means for detecting the passed signal, and in response thereto generates a DC signal having a level proportional to the states of information (e.g., a "1" or a "0") of the incoming detected frequency.
In FIG. 4, comparator 40 receives the output of frequency detector 38 and checks the DC level for a "1" or a "0". In a preferred implementation, comparator 40 is biased so that when no signal is present the data output of the comparator is high.
The output of comparator 40 is also connected to a "wake up" circuit for connection to the reset input of a microprocessor (not shown). The processor is typically reset until a predetermined change in the data level occurs (typically 1/2 second).
In FIG. 4, the receiver circuit 20 could utilize a power amplifier 44 similar to the power amplifier of transmitter 10 for transmitting information through bandpass circuit 22 for connection to AC power line 15 to the transmitting location thereby providing a transceiver and establishing complete communication capability. This capability could be provided by utilizing switch 45, which would be closed for transmission and open for reception.
An advantage of the system is to provide a multi-channel signalling capability over AC power lines. Because a narrow band signal is being transmitted, the system is only looking for a narrow range of frequencies (a "tight" window) and therefore can operate satisfactorily even in a high noise environment such as an AC power line.
Referring now to FIG. 5, a more detailed schematic diagram of the transmitter of FIG. 2 is depicted, in which the oscillator circuit 50 includes a 6 MHz crystal oscillator circuit 110, the output of which is connected through buffer circuit 111 to a conventional counter 112, which generates a 25 KHz signal on bus 113 which is connected to conventional flipflop 114, which generates the reference signal on bus 115 for connection to phase/frequency detector circuit 52.
Channel select circuit 58 is a counter circuit which generates the Fcomp signal on bus 117 for connection to PLL 52.
Phase detector circuit 52 is typically a micropower phase locked loop such as RCA's CO4046, which receives the Fref signal on bus 115 and the Fcomp signal on bus 117 from channel select circuit 58.
The output of phase detector 52 is an error component (DC component) signal, which is connected via bus 119 to the "minus" (-) input of operational amplifier circuit 54, which acts as an integrator. The error component signal on bus 119 is proportional to differences between the Fref signals and Fcomp signal.
The "plus" (+) input of amplifier 54 receives the data input through buffer circuit 64. The data typically could be digital data in RS232 format and is connected to the plus input of amplifier 54. As described above, amplifier 54 is typically biased to 1/2 Vcc. RC network 70 provides suitable filtering to insure smooth transitions between the frequencies depicted in FIG. 3B (i.e., between the different information states).
The output of amplifier 54 is a DC control signal which is connected via bus 131 to sinewave VCO 56, the square wave output of which is connected via bus 133 to channel select circuit 58.
Another output of VCO 56 is connected through conventional on/off switch 132 via bus 133 to power amplifier circuit 60 via bus 135, the amplified output of which is transformer coupled by transformer 62 to AC power lines 15 as described hereinabove.
In order to achieve a narrow band FSK transmission signal using a phase-lock loop frequency synthesis approach, the limitation in the speed of response of the servo loop circuit must be overcome. It has been observed that directly forcing a change in the input of amplifier 54 derived from the serial data achieves the required speed of response.
In FIG. 5, the reference oscillator 50 generates the reference frequency on bus 115 and the phase detector circuit 52 discriminates between the two inputs, its output depending on the input from oscillator 50 and channel select 58.
Amplifier 54 essentially integrates the input signal from the servo loop such that the output is a DC level signal on bus 131 which controls the output of VCO 56.
VCO 56 in turn generates the FSK signal on bus 133 and its square wave output on bus 134, which is varying at the same rate as the FSK signal.
Channel select circuit 58 determines the particular channel selection, receives the VCO output and divides by whatever channel selection desired.
The frequency of VCO 56 can be set as a function of the crystal circuit frequency and can be moved from one frequency (e.g., 200 KHz) to another frequency (201 KHz) with great accuracy.
By utilizing a VCO circuit, it is found that smooth transitions can be accomplished between the frequencies of narrow band transmission signal.
Referring now to FIG. 6, the receiver of FIG. 4 is depicted in more detail in which the signal on AC power line 15 is passively coupled via transformer 84, resistor 82 and capacitor 80 and connected to mixer circuit 24.
Mixer 24 could receive the local oscillator signal from the VCO 56 of FIG. 5 for transceiver implementation and in response thereto generates on bus 201, 203 the IF signal for connection to low pass filter 34.
It is desirable to generate an accurate reference frequency for the local oscillator in order that the system be well tuned, as a narrow window is desired.
The IF signal generated from mixer 24 includes the sum and difference signals and filter 34 passes the difference signal only for connection to amplifier 36.
For example, if an IF signal containing sum and difference frequencies of 41.5 KHz and 1.5 KHz are generated, low pass filter 34 will only pass the 1.5 KHz signal to frequency detector 38 (typically Signetic's PLL Model NE565).
In a multi-channel capability, the desired signal selected will enable the system to respond only to a narrow band transmission signal, for example in the 198-202 KHz transmission range (assuming a 200 KHz-201 KHz transmission signal is generated).
Other transmission signals having the same multi-channel capability are of course possible with the present invention.
Amplifier 36 amplifies the signals and limits them to the extent such that PLL circuit 38 is only looking for a squarewave varying between, for example, 1 and 2 KHz. In FIG. 6, the comparator circuit 40 receives the output of frequency detector (F/D) circuit 38 and comparator circuit 40 indicates when the data level has changed between for example a "0" and "1".
Because of the use of the mixer circuit 24, all recovered signals are handled in the same manner and the system can thereby achieve the multi-channel capability with significant reduction in noise problems.
The system could be adapted to provide an audio implementation rather than digital aspects. If an audio implementation is utilized, more filtering would be required by the frequency detector circuit.

American actor Arthur Kennedy was usually cast in western or contemporary roles in his films; on stage, it was another matter. A graduate of the Carnegie-Mellon drama department, Kennedy's first professional work was with the Globe Theatre Company touring the midwest in abbreviated versions of Shakespearian plays. From here he moved into the American company of British stage star Maurice Evans, who cast Kennedy in his Broadway production of Richard III. Kennedy continued doing Shakespeare for Evans and agit-prop social dramas for the Federal Theatre, but when time came for his first film, City for Conquest (1940), he found himself in the very ordinary role of James Cagney's musician brother. Throughout his first Warner Bros. contract, Kennedy showed promise as a young character lead, but films like Bad Men of Missouri (1941), They Died with Their Boots On (1942) and Air Force (1943) did little to tap the actor's classical training. After World War II service, Kennedy returned to Broadway, creating the role of Chris Keller in Arthur Miller's All My Sons (1947). This led to an even more prestigious Miller play, the Pulitzer Prize winning Death of a Salesman (1948), in which Kennedy played Biff. Sadly, Kennedy was not permitted to repeat these plum roles in the film versions of these plays, but the close association with Miller continued on stage; Kennedy would play John Proctor in The Crucible (1957) and the doctor brother in The Price (1965). While his film work during this era resulted in several Academy Award nominations, Kennedy never won; he was honored, however, with the New York Film Critics award for his on-target portrayal of a newly blinded war veteran battling not only his handicap but also his inbred racism in Bright Victory (1951). The biggest box office success with which Kennedy was associated was Lawrence of Arabia (1962), wherein he replaced the ailing Edmund O'Brien in the role of the Lowell Thomas character. Working continually in film and TV projects of wildly varying quality, Kennedy quit the business cold in the mid-1980s, retiring to live with family members in a small eastern town. Kennedy was so far out of the Hollywood mainstream in the years before his death that, when plans were made to restore the fading Lawrence of Arabia prints and Kennedy was needed to re-record his dialogue, the restorers were unable to locate the actor through Screen Actor's Guild channels -- and finally had to trace him through his hometown telephone directory.

love thy long weekendMonday, September 7th, 2015
Recipe: mongolian beef
Labor Day weekend marks the close of the busy summer season. It's when the visitors return to normal life and leave the mountains to the locals, as if the mountains have closed for the year. But the mountains don't close, ever. They march through the seasons regardless of you or me. Despite the fact that summer is my least favorite of all the seasons (I love them all, I just love the others more), it is indeed a glorious time when trails are easy to access, wildflowers scatter across the hills, and the fruits of the earth spring forth. We hopped out to Crested Butte for the long holiday weekend so we could take care of house maintenance and get on the trails with the puppy. I also wanted to scope out what the aspens are up to because I've noticed yellows appearing earlier than usual in the Front Range – not big swaths, but patches here and there. Even though I won't be doing a dedicated fall shoot this year (because of Neva), it's hard to shut off the constant monitoring of the aspen stands right about now.
evidence that a few of the leaves are showing off early
The weather on the Front Range had been mostly hot and dry the last few weeks and our trails had few signs of the mushrooms that graced them only a month prior. But Crested Butte was getting more consistent relief in the form of rain. When we arrived at our place, the lawn had big, healthy, (poisonous) mushrooms sprouting up. That was a good sign. My hope was that the chanterelles would have a second flush, but I wasn't sure that it would actually happen. We hiked out to some patches over the weekend and lo and behold – chanterelles. Some were dried out and old, others were fresh and just coming out of the ground. I surmised that this wasn't a second flush, but a continuation of the original flush – stoked on by healthy doses of rain and sun. What an amazing season it has been! I used all of the August chanterelles to shoot recipes, but these will be sautéed in butter and frozen for our enjoyment in winter.
hello, beautifuls
neva waits for jeremy to fill her water dish while i forage chanterelles
not a bad haul for a morning
Of course, the weekend wasn't just about foraging mushrooms. We got Neva out on the trails for lots of exercise and visited the neighborhood lake to let her get her swim on. As we approached the water, she began to pull on the leash as if her life depended on it. At first I thought there was a dead, rotting carcass near the shore that she smelled. But soon it became clear that this dog wanted to SWIM. So we chucked stick after stick into the water and watched as this once chunky clumsy puppy now gracefully and athletically leapt into the water – a strong and beautiful swimmer.
go neva!
I do plan to head up into the mountains for one last forage before returning home, but I realize that some of you may be tired of the onslaught of huckleberry and chanterelle recipes. Maybe you're looking for something that will serve as part of a weeknight meal? I haven't blogged too many Asian recipes this summer, so let's change things up and go with some Mongolian beef. It's an easy and straightforward stir fry. The only obstacle might be sourcing some of the ingredients, but I assure you that all of them can be found in an Asian grocery store or a regular grocery store that has a well-stocked Asian food aisle.
flank steak, hoisin sauce, shaoxing wine, vegetable oil, oyster sauce, chili bean sauce, dried red hot chilis, potato starch, scallions, garlic
slice on the diagonal
mince the garlic
slice the flank steak against the grain
**Jump for more butter**

Could this be used outdoors, either exposed to the elements or on a sheltered screened porch?
I love this table--very heavy and quite attractive. However, it was too large for the place I thought I'd put it, so I've had to do some shuffling! I see it as a potential mini bar when having guests, or an extra side table when guests are eating away from the dining room....

tray table
base is uneven...legs are different lengths due to the poor welding or heating of the metal. it is a good height for next to the bed, but base is very poorly made. Unable to return as was unable to open the box when it first arrived (due to family issues). Will take it to a metal artist to fix it.Read More

Great quality for the price
I bought two of these tray tables to use as nightstands. They are taller than I hoped, especially after adding felt pads at the bottom to prevent the tray from scratching my hardwood floors, but are manageable. The tables are lightweight but solid. They don't rock at all. My ONLY gripe is when you place the tray on top of the unfolded base, you have to fold up the base a little for the tray to fit into the base. Finally, the tables came extremely well packaged. The base and tray tables were wrapped individually, and first in styrofoam sheets, then styrofoam corners, then bubble wrap around of of it. Very impressive.Read More
Great multi purpose table
I originally bought this to use as a cocktail table, but it's just a little too tall. It works perfectly as a side table - gives more height to the lamp that was just a little too short - perfect solution where you need light but don't have a lot of room - adds a charming touch. Very happy. Also delivery was extremely quick - product was well packed.Read More
fantastic bedside table
I love this table. I use it by my bed and the raised lip keeps things from falling off in the middle of the night... like when I toss my reading glasses there. It is a lovely table and I wish there was a low square one to use as a coffee table. I bought a similar one that is round and I like it too. The metal products like this are wonderful and very well done. It did have an oily appearance when it arrived but I just cleaned it off.Read More
Beautiful table
I ordered 2 of these tables for my living room. I have been redesigning the room in neutral, all natural fabrics, distressed woods and metals. I was searching for metal end tables that looked both modern and yet warm and earthy. I placed these as side tables for my ivory linen slip-covered sofa. It complements the sofa beautifully. The tables aren't aren't shiny - rather a dullish gunmetal grey - again, this lends warmth and earthiness. Placed a modern sky blue table lamp on one and it all blends to look expensive and create a room with character. The tables are large enough to place a lamp, books, and a cup of coffee. They do come up slightly higher than the arms of the sofa - but that's fine with me. I wanted something the same height or or a bit higher - you don't often see this done - but it looks great. My grand experiment paid off. I'd recommend these for nightstands or side tables - even for a patio. Would order these again.Read More

Unique way to add new texture and shape element
This is a unique piece that will add great personality to a room. The hammered texture of the tray is beautiful. The piece is larger than a TV tray and serves well as an end table. There is room for a medium lamp, a couple of small decorative items or books and a drink. Mine did have a slight darker mark in the middle of the table but I think it adds to the hand-hewn look. It could also be used as a mini-bar or tea table. I love this unique piece.Read More
Nice Purchase

Can this table be used as a TV tray table and does it fold down?
Hello littlemomma1717, this product is not tested for failure so we don't know the appropriate weight limit it can with-stand. The base folds up and the top comes directly off. It is two pieces. Thank you for shopping with us.
Yes, it folds down. However, I would not recommend it as a tv table. There are far better suited pieces for such use. This is perfect for a mobile bar and entertaining.
