What would be the title of your autobiography?
I recently came up for a great name for my autobiography. I work in a field where faxes are still sent back and forth every day, and no matter how many times I request a fax to be sent to Jess (which is my name) I get a fax sent to "Jeff" although one time I got "Jass". So from this I decided my Autobiography would be titled "Attn: Jeff:" with the subtitle "A Layman in a Technical World.", or "The Adventures of a Layman in a Technical World." So what would your autobiography be titled?
35 Answers answer
"Wait, wait....Let Me Try That Again"
"I wish I were a keyboard: Delete, Backspace, Insert, and of course Escape."
Same description of the Earth in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: "Mostly Harmless"
A sad title that sums up my life...
"I have no friends. I just know people I hate less than others."
"Pull my finger"
Taken from a line by Norm on "Cheers":
"It's a Dog-Eat-Dog World and I'm Wearing Milkbone Underwear"
"Worst. Autobiography. Ever."
For the record I just got another fax that says Attn: Jeff
"Somehow I manage". It would have a picture of me shrugging on the cover.
What, that's already been taken! D'OH!
There you go. That would be my autobiography title. "D'oh!"
I actually gave this some thought this morning...
In Blade Runner, at the end, moments away from his death, Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer, in arguably his finest role), says:
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."
It's true, you know.
My autobiography would have that as a title:
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe."
@shrdlu: That's probably my favorite film soliloquy. I was expecting you to finish by titling your autobiography "Time to Die". It's always seemed odd to me to write the story of your life when it isn't done yet. I have a series of photo books which I compose after each of my trips, and I title them "Journeys: The Continued Adventures of Michele, Bob and Steve". I just got back from Costa Rica so I am working on Journeys 6 at the moment. When I am done with living, my Journeys books will pretty much be my autobiography.
"I lived it and I still don't believe it"
"Hey! How did everyone get in my room"
"a boring story" haha
"Made It - - So Far"
"Hey guys -- GUYS! Check this out!"
@klozitshoper: Or, like the guy said as he was falling from the 50th story window, "So far, so good". That would actually make for a pretty cool book cover, a person falling off a cliff with that title.
I'd borrow a line from The Grateful Dead (no, I am not a Dead Head)...
"What a Long Strange Trip It's Been"
"It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time."
"how to gain 800 pounds without really trying"
"never knew when to stop typing"
"Can You Believe They Published This Crap?"
"Is it Over Yet?"
The title of my autobiography would be the same as my epitaph: "It seemed like a good idea at the time."
finding my voice
"Wait, Seriously?"
"Oops: A Journey from Beginning to End."
Other Avenues of Escape
"Wasted Potential"
"Captain's Log"
@randy2126: I misread yours as, "Wasted Polenta."
"My BOC" - and each chapter explains an different, yet applicable acronym (i.e. Before Others Came - life prior to marriage and kids, Bruschetta Olives and Canapes - time of life when all I wanted to do was cook and blog, etc)
"Wait, What?"
@publicart: when i reopened this thread i went to the bottom to check for new posts, and read your "wasted polenta" as "wasted placenta"

What I mean by "randomized" is, in the place where an egg cell or sperm cell is made, what is the mechanism by which each one is not made identically? Though I am a layman, I'm pretty sure that if the sperm cell that was right next to "me" had made it to the egg instead of the one that did, the resultant human would have a different genomic sequence and different features.
Meiosis is the type of cell division responsible for the diversification of genetic material among egg and sperm cells. The diversity comes primarily from crossing over (Prophase I) and the cell divisions (Telophase I & II) later on in the process.
Further detail of the precise phases can be found in the Wikipeida article.
[picture from wikipedia]
I think we can attribute this to sheer probability. The human genome contains around 3 billion base pairs. When you consider recombination from chromosomal crossover that occurs in germ line cells, there is an astronomically huge number of possible unique combinations that can be made.
Of course, males generate many many sperm, so some of these are bound to be similar. But the number of sperm produced by any individual doesn't come anywhere close to the number of possible unique sperm that he could produce.

Bren's mission is to negotiate with Machigi—a young atevi lord who has never actually seen a human—and somehow persuade him to cease his hostile actions against the West. Bren knows that the autocratic Machigi rules a fractious clan, and that his hospitality is not guaranteed. Bren's genius for negotiation enable him to make a daring trade offer to Machigi—one that seems to interest the young warlord. But Machigi is suspicious of Ilisidi's motives, and, to Bren's utter shock, evokes an ancient law that jeopardizes Bren's life. Can Bren stay alive, not alienate and not alienate Ilisidi or Tabini, while also representing the interests of their enemy?

Chinese private company ENN Group Co. Ltd. plans to set up a network of natural gas refueling stations along US highways for heavy-duty trucks. The company plans to open 50 locations in 2013.
[natural gas]
Chinese private company ENN Group Co. Ltd. plans to set up a
network of natural gas refueling stations along US highways for
heavy-duty trucks. ENN aims to establish 50 locations in 2013
According to industry experts, natural gas stations cost
around $1 million (MM) to build, on average, which pegs ENN's
US investments for this year at around $50 MM. ENN has
partnered with Utah-based company, CH4 Energy Corp., to develop
the network.
The two companies operate under the name Blu LNG, which is a
segment of their joint venture, Transfuels LLC. ENN holds a
majority stake in the JV. The Chinese firm also hopes to
construct LNG plants in the future.
Chinese companies appear eager to invest in the US shale
boom. ENN's plans come on the heels of a February announcement
by Chinese state oil firm Sinopec that the firm will spend $1
billion to acquire oil and gas assets in the Mississippi Lime
shale play from Chesapeake Energy.
ENN is one of a small number of companies looking to enlarge
the US' natural gas fueling infrastructure. Other players
include Royal Dutch Shell and Clean Energy Fuels Corp., which
is backed by US natural gas producer Chesapeake Energy and oil
tycoon T. Boone Pickens.
Clean Energy aims to construct 50 to 60 natural gas stations
in the US this year. Shell has plans to open 100 stations,
although it has not set forth a timeline for these projects.
An expanded natural gas refueling infrastructure will
translate into large cost savings for trucking companies.
Shippers can save approximately $2 per gallon by fueling their
trucks with natural gas instead of diesel.
A bigger network of refueling stations will also increase
the popularity of natural gas vehicles in the US by ensuring
that long-haul trucks are able to refuel along their highway
ENN has already established natural gas refueling stations
in China, which is ahead of the US in its use of natural
gas-fueled trucks.
Additional details about ENN Group's expansion plans can be found in
this Reuters article.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Gaussian quadrature allows us to integrate polynomials up to order $2 n-1$ using only $n$ function values.
$\int_{x_0}^{x_1} ( \sum_{i=0}^{2 n-1} a_i x^i ) dx = f(a_0, \dots , a_{2 n-1}) $
thus, the function $f(a_0, \dots , a_{2 n-1})$, which naively has $2 n$ parameters, can actually be calculated using only $n$ parameters. Or, there exists a coordinate transform $a_i\rightarrow a_i^{\star}$
$f(a_0, \dots , a_{2 n-1}) \rightarrow f^{\star}(a_0^{\star}, \dots , a_n^{\star} , \dots , a_{2 n-1}^{\star}) $
such that $\frac{\partial f^{\star} }{a_i^{\star}} \equiv 0$ if $i>n$
I understand that this is true, and that the construction of gaussian quadrature has $2n$ free parameters, i.e. sampling positions and weights, which seemingly explains why it can integrate polynomials up to order $2 n-1$.
Nevertheless, I wonder if there is a "geometric" argument that makes it clear that the function $f(a_0, \dots , a_{2 n-1})$, in $2n$-dimensional space, can be calculated using only $n$ parameters.

The Trimble® Yuma 2® rugged tablet computer, with a Windows 7 Professional operating system can crunch data in the field, conduct inspections, collect information, capture photos and communicate with headquarters, all from one device. Your hard work is protected against the environment with its ruggedized design. Designed to be carried, mounted on a pole or installed in a vehicle—the Yuma 2 is ready to go where you go. The Yuma 2 is equally useful in the office and in the field—it's the ultimate one-computer solution.
Announcing NEW 1-2 meter Enhanced GPS options for the Yuma 2 rugged tablet computer
The Yuma 2 tablet, which already offers the best sunlight readable display on the market, is now available with a 1-2 meter real time Enhanced GPS positional accuracy using SBAS satellites.
The Enhanced GPS is integrated into the tablet form factor, adding no weight or need to attach an external antenna to collect GPS data. Available in two configurations, the Yuma 2 GL is the tablet with Enhanced GPS, and the GLX adds 3.75G data connectivity.
The Yuma 2 GL and GLX, using the GPS L1 band, offer reliable performance in reduced signal environments. Field workers who have to move from place to place to collect far-flung assets won't have to waste time waiting for a system warm-up: the Yuma 2 G tests at an average cold start of less than 33 seconds, and a warm start of less than 3 seconds. The Yuma 2 GL is also designed to work with Trimble VRS, a solution provided by Trimble Positioning Services. The GLX version also adds the 3.75 GSM data connectivity option into the tablet.
Both the standard, 2-4 meter GPS configurations and the new, 1-2 meter Enhanced GPS models of the Yuma 2 supports connecting an external GPS antenna that can be utilized when users are on foot or inside a vehicle, for even more accuracy as needed.
For Professionals In the Field
Unlike consumer products or tablets that have been given an exterior shell to make them "rugged," the Trimble Yuma 2 is built rugged from the inside out, with IP65 protection from dust and water, and with military-grade MIL-STD-810G certification for temperature, altitude, humidity extremes, vibration and shock.
Outdoor Readable Display
The Yuma 2 features a new dual technology display created specifically for easy and outstanding sunlight readability. No matter how bright or direct the glare, the Yuma 2 provides a clear, easy-to-read workspace. The full-color, 7" screen resides under a Gorilla® Glass panel that is just as tough as the rest of the tablet.
Distributed Asset Management
Today's fast paced business world relies on assets distributed across wide geographical areas and the Yuma 2 is designed for this reality. The 5 megapixel camera provides video and photo capture with geotagging. When used with either the standard, or Enhanced GPS solutions, there's a Yuma 2 model that meets your data collection needs for distributed asset management, work order management, fleet logistics and more.
Capacitive Touch Screen
With the multi-touch capacitive touchscreen, users can type with fingers, stylus or capacitive gloves and can control the size of the keyboard on the display for ease of use. Controlled zoom can optimize the user experience with maps and detailed information. Â The display can be used vertically or horizontally and is configurable to hold the orientation or to alter it in response to the accelerometer.
The Best Tablet for Field Work
Using the Microsoft® Windows 7 Professional operating system and 4 GB of DDR3 DRAM, the Yuma 2 allows mobile users to work with the same documents and data as they do in the office. Connectivity via Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi and optional GSM 3.75G cellular data module enables manageable and efficient workflows wherever your mobile workforce goes. The Yuma 2 tablet computer includes a dual-core 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor to run software applications fast and reliably.
The Yuma 2 includes two USB host ports, HDMI output and a matched set of batteries that can be hot-swapped in the field, with a set of extended life batteries available as an optional accessory. There are six keys including three user-programmable function buttons and a 5-way directional keypad.
For security, the Yuma 2 provides a built-in, certified Trusted Processing Module (TPM) encryption module to allow security programming for Wi-Fi and direct connect authentication. A Kensington security port provides your workers with the ability to physically secure the Yuma 2 using a variety of Kensington computer security products.
See the Yuma 2 data sheet for complete details.
Key Features:
Yuma 2 Configurations
The following configurations and part numbers are available for the new Yuma 2 Tablet Computer.

Sears Shop Your Way Max 3-Month Membership for $0 + $0.02 shipping
coupon code: MAXFREE4
Sears offers a Shop Your Way Max 3-Month Membership (formerly known as ShipVantage) for free via Coupon Code: MAXFREE4
That's the first such trial offer we've seen for this program, which normally costs $79 annually.
This program yields free shipping on millions of items with no minimum purchase required, discounted shipping upgrades, twice as many Shop Your Way Rewards points, and more. The membership does not auto-renew; if you wish you extend it, you'll need to join again.
25 Comments add a comment
LOVE that it doesn't auto-renew! However, after putting in the code, my total comes to $0.02 and wants me to go to Paypal. It's not like $.02 isn't worth it (even if I only use the "free" shipping a single time!), i'm just slightly annoyed that free isn't free. still signed up though :)
@smtatertot13: I got charged $0.02 as well. I don't quite understand that but definitely not complaining. Also, woo-hoo! for lack of auto-renewal!
anyone has the expiration date for the code/promotion? Not planning to buy anything soon and I like maximize my 3 months of free shipping. Thanks
Just signed up and used the free coupon that they emailed me for $5 off $25
$5 off $25 purchase is good for lawn/garden only (in store or online). Also, coupon only good 05/20/2012 - 05/25/2012.
@woottj: I'd like to know this, too
@woottj: When I signed up last night, it gave me a year. Everyone on SlickDeals also got 1 year so it wasn't just me.
Very great.At least you can get it for one year.
Shopping my way does not involve going anywhere near a Sears store.
This is on the webpage when you follow the link:
"What happens after my free trial period?
We make extending your MAX happiness easy and hassle free. Unless you cancel your membership 5 days before the end of your free trial, you'll be notified by email that you're being auto enrolled. Then, you don't have to worry about giving your info again and we'll even use the card you already provided."
Seems like they do auto-enroll to me :(
Wedit. Not in this case.
You add the coupon code: MAXFREE4
for the trial period, and it does not auto enroll.
The information you are looking at is for people who
pay to enroll.
Perfect timing. I need some replacement drive wheels for my mower. Shipping was going to be $10. Thanks!
@woottj @mrsque: My resources over at slickdeals tell me June 30th. However, as @missellienc has stated, this is actually a 1 year membership. I don't know if it's an error by Sears or what. But it continually says 3 months, then after you purchase, it shows your membership expiration date expiring one year from today.
@kris0283: I'm not really sure what this post is saying. Maybe woot edited/deleted some?
But anyway, I just completed the purchased and it does state that it will auto-renew in a few places. BUT, if you go into your profile and under the "clubs" tab, there is a spot that you can turn off all auto-renewing. Hope this link works... (may need to log in first, then click link):
Lastly, none of my credit cards would go through with a charge of $0.00. I think that's why Sears made the .02 cent ending price. If you add this item to your cart:
then apply the promo code, your total will still be 2 cents. It ships for free, so no harm done. I tried applying to code, then removing the item. The total shows $0.00, but I can't complete the order. Stupid Sears website. lol
@firebirdude: good catch. when i went to my profile to check out the expiration of this free trial (it IS a year by the way: Expires 05/20/2013!!) there was a blue button just under the expiration that said something like "Do Not Auto-Renew". I clicked it, a pop-up told me I wouldn't auto-renew and I mostly believe it. I'll be setting a Google calendar reminder for about 11.5 months from now with cancellation info in the event I need it. You know how these free trial things can be.
Also, for what it's worth, this post claims that we're getting a Shop Your Way Max trial (previously ShipVantage), but my profile lists nothing under the SYWM title - only shows my awesome new 1 year trial of ShipVantage. I suspect Sears is crazy. Then again, I think they are crazy for trying to keep their dying business model around, but I'll keep taking advantage of the sales & newly free shipping until they're out of business.
Heads up, When I look in my Shop Your Way account history it lists the trial purchase as ANNUAL, AUTO RENEWAL.
Not sure if that means anything but just another reason to be cautious when the trial is nearing it's end.
It's kind of burried in there so here's how to find the auto-renewal option:
Click the My Profile button at the top right.
Click the About Me tab.
Click the Clubs link.
Under the Shipvantage link there's a place to turn off auto-renew.
Also, this purchase is eligible for 790 points which is worth $0.79. So you're profiting $0.77 just by signing up.
Just an FYI that, although you still have to enter a credit card number in order to process your order, if you already have an existing shop your way rewards balance (I personally had .37), you can pay for the .02 with your rewards.
times like these I really LOVE you guys! this is an awesome deal (imo)! I just so happened to have some change on my rewards card and got out of even paying the 2 cents! just went in and turned off the auto-renewal and saw the membership expires next year. I'm so glad I didn't sleep on this!
@firebirdude: Thanks! I took the auto renew off. I couldn't find where to do it until I followed your link. Oddly enough, today, when I went to their webpage( for the deal) they now state that they will not auto renew the membership. When just last night when I click on the provided link that was in the original post, it was clear (as indicated in my post) that they would auto renew).
How long does it take to get your info? I got an email with my "order confirmation" but no login info or anything to use this. And I signed up so I could get free shipping on another deal, that has limited stock.
Free piece of clothing from Sears for Shop Your Way members: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150900207424798&set=a.58148129797.65402.58139304797&type=3&theater
@cornellbigred: Only valid at "participating Sears Outlet" locations. Sears near me is not an outlet location. :-(
Still waiting to get my membership info :(
Great, I took advantage of this to get free shipping on this deal (http://deals.woot.com/deals/details/d4e70037-c682-44e2-8068-a6f08043bc05/83-pc-homeowner-tool-set-w-bag-craftsman-evolv-tools-tool-sets-mechanics-tool-s#5) for memorial day.

Health & Parenting
Reducing Kids' TV Time: What Works?
Nov. 5, 2012 -- Counseling parents on the health risks of too much TV time for their toddlers doesn't seem to help break the TV habit.
Researchers thought that educating parents about the dangers of excess screen time, with suggestions on how to reduce it, would work.
But in a new study, it didn't, although the counseling did lead to another important behavior change.
"We did find we could reduce the number of meals eaten in front of the screen," says researcher Catherine S. Birken, MD. Birken is a pediatrician at the Hospital for Sick Children and assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Toronto.
"That's important, because some research is showing the relationship between screen time and obesity is strongly mediated by what you eat while watching TV," she says.
The study results ''may be depressing but it's not surprising," says Dimitri Christakis, MD, MPH, director of the Center of Child Health, Behavior, and Development at Seattle Children's Hospital Research Institute. He reviewed the study findings for WebMD.
"The majority of American parents already feel bad or guilty about the amount of TV their kids are watching, but they aren't doing anything about it," he says.
The study is published in Pediatrics.
Too Much Screen Time: What's the Problem?
The researchers define screen time as time spent watching TV, videos, and DVDs, and also playing video or computer games. Too much screen time is linked with obesity, delayed language development, aggressive behavior, and other problems, the researchers note.
Screen times have risen in recent years. The average preschooler now gets about four hours a day, according to a recent study by Christakis.
The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly discourages television viewing for children ages 2 or younger. For older children, it advises no more than one to two hours a day of educational, nonviolent programs.
Reducing Screen Time: Study Details
Birken's team decided to test whether counseling parents of 3-year-olds who came to a pediatric practice in Toronto could help them reduce their kids' screen time.
They randomly assigned 160 children and their parents to a counseling group or a comparison group.

BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: One official of Saudi Arabia's government calls the Riyadh bombings a declaration of war against that kingdom. Its government has been criticized in the past for its level of cooperation in the current war on terror. The director of information at the Saudi Embassy in Washington is Nail Al-Jubeir. He is our guest this morning from Washington, DC. Welcome to 'American Morning'. Good morning to you.
NAIL AL-JUBEIR, SAUDI EMBASSY SPOKESMAN: Good morning.
HEMMER: Last night here on CNN you said you want to know where these bombers came from, indicating that they were not from Saudi Arabia. Do you stand by that statement?
AL-JUBEIR: What I basically meant was where they come from in terms of what led them to do what they did, where did the explosives come from, who instructed them to do what they did. That is something we have to find out, and we have to root them out. That is what we meant, and we're trying our best to find that and we welcome any help from any country that's willing to support us in this.
HEMMER: Then, what do you know about Muhammad al-Juhani, a Saudi, believed to be a leader of an al-Qaeda branch, who possibly masterminded these attacks in your country?
AL-JUBEIR: Personally, nothing …… If he has something to do with it, it's going to be the ministry of interior that is following this up, and they're looking into a possibility. We have arrested hundreds of people and questioned thousands of them, so it's a long process. And we hope that eventually we'll be able to root them out.
HEMMER: What is your country doing to crack down on the Wahabi sect in Saudi Arabia and the preaching against America that is taking place in the mosques in Saudi Arabia?
AL-JUBEIR: Well, as for the preaching, we have made it clear that mosques are for religious purposes only, and that preachers should stay away from politics. A number of people have been removed. The instruction went down from the highest religious authority that preaching the word of God is one thing, preaching politics and hatred is a whole different, unacceptable thing. And we are cracking down on those who are violating these rules.
HEMMER: You say a number have been removed. How many?
AL-JUBEIR: I don't have the exact number for you. I think the Ministry of Islamic Affairs made a statement some time about a month ago, so they have removed quite a number of those that they did not think were qualified to be preachers.
HEMMER: Yes. In the past two weeks, we understand based on reports, there was a lot of chatter that was originating in your part of the world that was related back to al-Qaeda, signaling an attack may be eminent. If that was the case, how much of this chatter was passed along to the police force and security division in your kingdom?
AL-JUBEIR: Oh, there's a very close cooperation between our - within our security operations, as well as those who are partners in the war on terrorism. We've been on heightened alert for at least six, seven weeks. We knew something was happening. We had them under surveillance. It's just a matter of - how do you know where they're going to strike and at what time?
HEMMER: Understood. If that's the case, then, why were these security guards outside the compound, why were they not armed?
AL-JUBEIR: These were not - these were residential housing complexes. It is unlikely that you're going to have armed guards on a housing complex. There were some that were armed. They did shoot at some of these perpetrators, and in some cases prevented them from moving further, deeper into the compound, creating more death and destruction.
HEMMER: In the few seconds we have left right now, is this a wake-up call again for Saudi Arabia and the problems that exist inside your borders?
AL-JUBEIR: I'm sorry, I didn't hear that.
HEMMER: Is this a wake-up call again for your kingdom to crack down on the problems you have within your own country?
AL-JUBEIR: Oh, we've known we've had these al-Qaeda problems for some time. We've been the target of al-Qaeda from probably the mid-'90s.
HEMMER: Then, when will it stop?
AL-JUBEIR: Once we are able to eradicate terrorism, and this is a long struggle. It involves international cooperation, sharing of intelligence. And it's going to be a long struggle, and we are in it for the long run. The death and destruction of civilians is simply unacceptable, and we will make sure that those who are behind it will pay the ultimate price.
HEMMER: Nail Al-Jubeir, live, in Washington. Thank you for your time this morning.

Dive In!
The Party Birch Aquarium took a road trip for its 20th anniversary celebration, hosting an intimate, undersea-themed soiree at the lush and verdant North County home of Patty and Rick Elkus. The Scene Taking a cue from the aquarium's most graceful marine residents, guests in cerulean-hued gowns seemed to float through the landscape, glasses of bubbly or signature Leviathan or Kraken cocktails from Snake Oil Cocktail Co. in hand. For the crystal-strewn and orchid-dripping tabletops, the talented scene makers of The Floral Department drew inspiration from the estate's custom-built seahorse grotto. The Highlight Dining decks suspended over the illuminated pool blurred the boundaries between watery realm and terra firma. For the feast, Whisknladle Hospitality prepared four courses of springtime French delicacies (tender asparagus, morels in cream, grilled lamb with artichokes and peas, plus walnut gateau with strawberries) that were expertly paired with fine wines by Country Wine & Spirits.

Star Wars: The Original Trilogy (Episodes IV - VI) [Blu-ray]: Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie… for $29.99 + free shipping
The Star Wars trilogy had the rare distinction of becoming more than just a series of movies, but a cultural phenomenon, a life-defining event for its generation. On its surface, George Lucas's original 1977 film is a rollicking and humorous space fantasy that owes debts to more influences than one can count on two hands, but filmgoers became entranced by its basic struggle of good vs. evil "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away," its dazzling special effects, and a mythology of Jedi Knights, the Force, and droids.

It was about $10 more yesterday... Good deal!
Does anyone know if these are the unaltered versions? The reviews are all mixed at Amazon.
@bennetsen: If by "unaltered" you mean no digital Jabba and Han shoots first, then the bad news is that no, these are not the unaltered, original cinematic releases. The worse news is that you're not going to find those in DVD. George Lucas--for all his preaching about film restoration--refuses to release those in digital format (beyond the last Laserdisk version that was released in the mid-90s).
@willie92: They do have the Theatrical Release on DVD, it is a laser disc transfer as bonus content on a DVD version. Not perfect, but better than my old VHS.
I believe this is the theatrical release dvd.. Sold only by second-hand dealers. http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trilogy-Widescreen-Theatrical-Edition/dp/B001EN71DG/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1355319114&sr=8-4&keywords=star+wars+dvd That's why it's more expensive. :(
Han shot first.
@willie92: I know Lucas (God i hate that man) has claimed he will never release the original originals (aka han shot first) but now that disney is buying them, i wonder if they will? there seems to be at least some demand for them. I'd love to have the original trilogy, but i refuse to buy the altered versions. If disney would release the original unaltered theatrical versions i'd buy them in a heartbeat.
if you look hard enough you can find "unspecialized" digital restorations out there...
The only unaltered digital version of the trilogy are the copies off the LaserDisc
In 2006 they released special edition DVDs that included the original theatrical versions on a second disc. There was also a limited edition set of all three that came in a tin. Not sure how rare it is now, but I did manage to get one when it came out.
And one more thing - it's not "the original Star Wars trilogy," it's THE Star Wars trilogy!
Thanks for the information regarding the "Unaltered." I will pin my hopes on Disney for now because they seem to value commerce, and like ndcouch said, there does appear to be demand. Fingers crossed!

Russia, U.S. Push Forward on Syria Meeting
United Nations-Brokered Conference Is Planned for Mid-November
NUSA DUA, Indonesia—The U.S. and Russia Monday stressed their determination to help press ahead with a United Nations-brokered conference planned for mid-November that aims to bring Syria's government together with opposition forces to end the country's conflict.
Video: The Foreign Bureau
In a joint news conference following a bilateral meeting in Bali, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov expressed their satisfaction with efforts to destroy chemical weapons in Syria, which a team of experts from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons at The Hague and the U.N. began on Sunday. Just more than a week earlier, the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution ordering the stockpiles' elimination.
"It's a good beginning and we should welcome a good beginning," Mr. Kerry said on the sidelines of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meetings, adding that he was very pleased with the speed of the process.
"We agreed again that there is no military solution here and we share an interest in not having radical extremists on either side of any kind assuming a greater status or position in Syria," he said.
Under a deal brokered in September by the U.S. and Russia, Syria agreed to give up its chemical weapons in a process aimed at eradicating Damascus's 1,000-metric-ton stockpile by the middle of next year. According to the Security Council's decision, Syria's ability to make chemical weapons is supposed to be removed by Nov. 1.
Following an Aug. 21 chemical-weapons attack in a Damascus suburb that killed hundreds of people, the U.S. threatened to strike government targets to degrade its ability to deploy chemical weapons.
A U.N. investigation confirmed that sarin gas was used in the attack. While the U.N. didn't assign blame, the U.S. and its allies contend the Syrian government was behind the massacre. Syria and its allies Russia and Iran say opposition forces were responsible for the attack, in an attempt to incriminate the Syrian government and trigger U.S. intervention.
The U.N. seeks to host a meeting between the warring parties in Geneva in mid-November. Mr. Lavrov said there aren't grounds to expect the Syrian government to pull out of the proposed talks. He expressed Russia's fear that extremist elements in the wider opposition movement were trying to undermine the peace effort and escalate a conflict that has so far killed more than 100,000 people after a pro-democracy uprising turned into a broader, often sectarian, battle.
Mr. Lavrov said he has asked the U.S. to help ensure that members of the various opposition groups fighting against the Syrian government also attend the Geneva meeting. The rebels, a mixture of democrats and hard-line Islamists, haven't been able to agree on a delegation to send to the planned talks.

All That Jazz
It was a night of partying, 1920s style, when Friendship Shelter put on its Great Gala celebrating its 25th anniversary. Snazzy ladies and dapper gents filled the ballroom at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, which was bedecked in ostrich feathers, candelabras and flower arrangements to evoke the Jazz Age aesthetic. The House Band electrified the crowd, and the Charleston Q'Tease dance troupe got guests swinging. A silent auction added to the excitement, as did a surprise tribute to the nonprofit's founder, Colin Henderson. Donations totaled $440,000 by the end of the eve, so the organization's positive impact will be felt for years to come. –Photos by Ann Chatillon

Created: 11/12/2013 11:05 PM
(AP) DALLAS - Dirk Nowitzki had 19 points to pass Jerry West on the NBA's career scoring list, and the Dallas Mavericks beat the Washington Wizards 105-95 Tuesday night.
Nowitzki hit consecutive 3-pointers late in the third quarter, the second one putting him at 25,194 points for 16th place, two ahead of West.
Trevor Ariza led the Wizards with 27 points, including five 3-pointers. He also had seven rebounds and four steals.
Monta Ellis started slowly from the field before scoring 10 in the fourth quarter to help the Mavericks improve to 4-0 at home this season. Ellis matched Nowitzki with 19.
Nowitzki was struggling from the field before a loose ball bounced to him above the key. The 11-time All-Star and 2007 MVP grabbed it, turned and hit a shot to get within a point of West's record.
On Dallas' next possession, Gal Mekel passed to Nowitzki a few feet left of the previous spot, and Nowitzki pulled up and hit another from long range with 59.9 seconds left in the third. The bucket that put him ahead of West gave him 16 points for the game.
Nowitzki ended up 8 of 19 from the field with eight rebounds, two assists and steals. He has 25,197 points for his career. Reggie Miller is 15th on the scoring list with 25,279 points.
Vince Carter scored 16, and Samuel Dalembert led Dallas with 13 points in the first half and finished with 15. DeJuan Blair had nine points and 11 rebounds.
Marcin Gortat had 12 points and 12 rebounds for Washington.
The Wizards had their last lead early in the second quarter, but were down just 89-84 when Ellis hit a pull-up jumper and was fouled by Bradley Beal. It was Ellis' first shot of the fourth quarter after he had gone 3 of 10 through the first three.
Ellis missed the free throw, but the Wizards couldn't convert on three chances at the other end. After Nene lost the ball out of bounds trying to make a post move, Shawn Marion hit a runner to put Dallas back up by nine.
Nowitzki hit a runner to give the Mavericks their biggest lead at 71-56, but the Wizards went on an 18-6 run to make it a game again. Ariza had 11 points during the run, including a 3-pointer and a dunk on consecutive possessions.
John Wall had assists on five straight buckets during the spurt and finished with 10. Wall and Nene scored 14 apiece.
Carter started a 16-2 Dallas run in the second quarter with a 3-pointer, and Ellis finished it with a nifty reverse layup to put the Mavericks up 49-38.
After the Wizards got within four, Jose Calderon made a 3-pointer and Carter hit another 3 at the shot clock buzzer to give Dallas a 59-49 lead in the final minute of the first half. Carter was 4 of 9 from long range.
The Mavericks scored seven points in one trip late in the first quarter to turn a 29-23 deficit into a 30-29 lead.
Jae Crowder was fouled on a driving bank shot and missed the free throw, but DeJuan Blair grabbed the rebound before hitting a shot and getting fouled. His missed free throw was tipped by Carter to Mekel, who passed back to Carter for a 3-pointer from the left wing.
NOTES: The teams combined to shoot 60 percent in a 67-point first quarter, which ended with the Wizards in front 34-33. ... Mavericks G Wayne Ellington sat out with a right thigh contusion. ... Mavericks G Devin Harris says he's targeting a mid-December return from offseason toe surgery.

Raising Preteens: Realizing How Uncool You Have Become
In This Article:
Understanding—and Surviving—Preteen Angst
Preteens try to act cool, but in reality they are scared of everything. They know that they do not fit into the adult world and that they are not yet self-assured enough to fit in with the teenagers. But they also know they are no longer babies and that they can't hold on forever to the things of childhood. Nature is telling them to move on and they do not know how—except by making your life miserable.
The symptoms of preteen angst are moodiness and downright contrariness, but deep inside it's really about insecurity. It's caused by the fact that preteens face so many conflicting desires: To grow up but still be a baby, and to make their own decisions but still be able to turn to Mom when the going gets tough.
Mom Alert!
If your child is so out of sync with his peers as to cause problems in school or at play, by all means seek a professional consultation. Just don't create problems where none exist. Consider yourself lucky if your child wants to savor childhood. She will be ready to move on when the time comes.
When It's "Anchors Away, and Full Steam Ahead…"
Aren't mothers lucky? We want to be the anchor, while our child's motorboat tries to speed away. Preteens don't really want to be out of control, but they don't want to stand still for any length of time, either. Whether or not they admit it, they need us to be there for them. When they're all dressed up in the latest fashions and trying to imitate the people they admire, they may look older than their years. But if you really stop to listen to them they are still ordinary children.
And When the Old Toy Box Still Looks Pretty Good
If you're fortunate, your preteen might stay on the younger side of the teens, behaviorally speaking. If your child is still playing with toys or behaving in silly, childlike ways, count your blessings. These transitional years are the time when children can test their limits without having to go too far into any dangerous territory. This is a time of information-gathering and self-discovery. So don't worry about encouraging any behavior that you feel is more age-appropriate, especially when it comes to the opposite sex. Each child has a kind of internal clock that, when left to its own devices, will make everything that is supposed to happen, happen in its own time.
To Everything, There Is a Season
If your daughter still likes to play with her dolls in the preteen years, don't worry. Unless your child is expressing behaviors that clearly indicate she's having problems, be content to guide her gently, while letting her grow up at her own pace. Whatever you do, try to resist the temptation to compare your child to everyone else's kids.

In Defense Grid: The Awakening, is it more cost-efficient to build more towers or upgrade existing ones?
I asked devs the same question and turned out there is no difference from both cost and damage points of views (except for temporals and commander towers). I upgrade towers that are located in most valuable places (i.e. where aliens pass several times) where space is limited.
Quote from a dev:
I found that upgrading always works better for me than to place a lot of towers
A level 3 (red) gun tower for example, is way more powerful than a lot level one (green) ones.
Here's an interesting article on that tower, and some design decisions.
There are challenges where you can only build level 1 towers, play that and experience first hand how the gameplay changes.
Although I have not myself played Defense Grid, in every other tower defense game I've played it is much more cost effective to upgrade existing ones.

Third and final Last of Us DLC adds new singleplayer mode and multiplayer mapsWritten by: / / No Comments
We're living in a very different world these days vis-à-vis The Last of Us.
Not only do we have the excellent Left Behind singleplayer downloadable content to enjoy, a higher definition and more feature-rich PlayStation 4 version of the game has also been announced with a debut trailer to showcase what to except later this year.
To round out the recent revelations for Naughty Dog's latest epic, the third and final Last of Us DLC has been further detailed with screenshots.
Called the 'Grounded Bundle,' the final Last of Us DLC adds a new singleplayer mode called 'Grounded,' which Naughty Dog community strategist Eric Monacelli says "will be the hardest challenge you'll ever face" as you attempt to complete the singleplayer campaign of the game.
"The AI is relentless, smart and brutal – survival will be near impossible. 'Completed Grounded Mode' might be one of the most difficult trophies you'll ever earn," Monacelli continued on the PlayStation Blog.
Final Last of Us DLC – Grounded Bundle Screenshots
[nggallery id=575 template="el33t"]
The Reclaimed Territories map pack included as part of the Grounded Bundle, meanwhile, adds four new multiplayer maps and six new Trophies, all set in locations that will be "familiar yet unfamiliar" to Last of Us players. "Intelligent use of climbing, stealth, flanking, and all your clan survival techniques will be essential to master these maps."
Here's a rundown of the maps:
"Set in the rusted-out docks where Joel encountered Robert, the Wharf map features close quarters gameplay, two snipers nests, and a giant boat. It's full of good opportunities for climbing, flanking and stealth."
"Set in Boston, the Capitol Map features indoor and outdoor gameplay. It encourages the intelligent use of flanking."
Coal Mine
"Set in Colorado, Coal Mine is a winter map that is spotted with abandoned buildings. It's a spacious map that has long lines of sight and a bridge that's a perfect perch for snipers. The dynamic snowstorm obscures the view so be on your toes."
Water Tower
"Set in Lincoln, PA, the Water Tower map features two primary chokepoints for some deadly face-to-face confrontations. It's mainly an outdoor map with a few indoor areas and some very unique lighting. It might seem open but it's really a tight map that's perfect for close quarters melee."
A new weapon (free to all DLC owners) will become available in the form of the Full-Auto Rifle, "a fully automatic, modified burst rifle that is very easy to use. It's the perfect weapon for people who are new to Factions and experts alike."
Other new guns and skills will also be added to Last of Us multiplayer with the Grounded Bundle – get the full details on these additions over here.
Are you still playing Last of Us multiplayer? Are you waiting for the PS4 version of The Last of Us?

An Epic Battle. Dream Game Part 2. Basketball Armageddon. Civil War.
Whatever you call it, this Saturday's Final Four match-up between Kentucky and Louisville will be one for the history books. It's the type of rivalry reunion that has turned nonsports fans into fanatics and diehards into, well, dieharders.
At 6:09 p.m. on Saturday, March 31, the top seeded Wildcats and No. 4 seed Cardinals will tip-off inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans in the semifinals of the NCAA tournament for the first time since the 1984 Sweet Sixteen, which Kentucky won 72-67.
But, just one year earlier – in 1983 – Louisville came out victorious. During the Elite Eight, in "The Dream Game," the Cards beat the Cats in an overtime victory, 80-68.
"It was crazy," said Robbie Valentine, a member of the '83 Louisville team, as well as the 1986 national championship team. "It was an overtime victory and we knew the world was watching as they will be on Saturday."
As if the "Dream Game" of 1983 could have been more intense, the national stage of the Final Four brings a whole new level of madness to the NCAA tournament.
"There's certainly the most on the line than there ever has been," said Lachlan McLean, host of "SportsTalk84" on WHAS-AM radio. "It's going to force the nation to acknowledge just how special this rivalry is. There are more prominent football rivalries … (but) this basketball-based rivalry is just as heated and just as passionate. It will be an eye opener for the nation."
That heated rivalry began the moment UofL first faced UK on February 15, 1913, in Lexington, Ky. Kentucky won the inaugural competition 34-10 and has gone on to achieve a 29-14 all-time record against Louisville and seven NCAA championships to Louisville's two.
But, that hasn't kept the Cardinal faithful from holding out hope that Louisville will prevail on Saturday for a chance to play the winner of Kansas-Ohio State in the national championship on Monday, April 2.
"My heart is with the University of Louisville Cards," said Emily Carroll, a former Louisville resident. "The decision is where to watch and who to watch with."
Finding and securing the perfect locale for viewing the game is a top priority for fans this weekend. Having both UK and UofL in the tournament has created an immense boom in business at sports bars around town. So immense, in fact, that places like Diamonds Pub and Billiards in the Highlands are charging patrons to reserve seats at the venue, which some fans are happy to oblige.
"March Madness has been absolutely insane here in the Highlands," said Jared Matthews, general manager of Diamonds. "(It's) definitely going to be a great thing for the state of Kentucky's economy."
The chaos won't cease beyond the border of the Bluegrass, though. Bourbon Street in New Orleans is expected to see action as crazy – or more? – than the mayhem witnessed during Mardi Gras.
"I would be shocked if there's not chaos somewhere especially when the libations start flowing in the French Quarter," McLean said. "There's going to be fights; there's no question about that. I just hope people don't think that's (how) the majority of the fan base (is)."
For some, the rivalry is super serious. But for others, it's a chance for some good-natured ribbing.
To help "take the sting" out of what he says will be a tough loss for UK this Saturday, Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer presented a bottle of Woodford Reserve bourbon to Lexington Mayor Jim Gray at a regular meeting of the Bluegrass Economic Advancement Movement board. Gray, in turn, presented Fischer with a 6-pack of Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale.
Fischer and Gray also wagered on the outcome of the game: If Kentucky should win, Fischer will remain in New Orleans for the championship game and wear blue in support of the Wildcats. If Louisville prevails, Gray will stick around for the title game and wear red.
While the two mayors have inserted humor into the raucous rivalry, some are predicting reactions closer to anarchy once the victor is crowned in the Final Four.
Regardless of who comes out on top, a guaranteed trip to the final game for one Kentucky team is a victory for the entire Commonwealth as a reigning basketball state – isn't it?
"I think that if we as fans can be professional and can treat this in a way that it's on a national stand, we can all get something great out of this," Valentine said. "Win or lose, one of the two teams is going to the championship. Win or lose we want one of these two teams to win the championship."
UK, UofL fans weigh in
"I am a diehard Kentucky fan! Bleed blue and support those boys all the way! I'm so proud of their season. I just hope they play just as hard as they have been on Saturday in 'Blue Orleans.' Having two Kentucky teams in the final four says a lot for our state. I'm proud to be from Kentucky."
– Shannon Cox
"This match-up is crazy! I am so excited and nervous about the game on Saturday! If I didn't have school I would be down in New Orleans. Being a UL fan, of course I hope they win! It is awesome to see two Kentucky teams make it to the Final Four. I would only cheer for UL, but if UK wins, they deserve it for all the hard work and talent they have this year."
– Emily Lyons
"This Final Four Match is absolutely GREAT for the state of Kentucky. I am a proud alumni of the University of Kentucky and an avid UK fan who bleeds blue. However, I used to wear a little red UL cheerleader outfit when I was younger going to games with my dad. So, of course I want my CATS to win, but no matter what I am going to be proud of the outcome. What an accomplishment for the state of Kentucky!"
– Christina Dages
"This match up is huge for the state of Kentucky. If you look at this from a numbers stand point you see how big it is. Out of the four best teams in the nation, two hail from Kentucky. For me as a fan, it's a chance to put some closure to the 'who's better argument' – at least for a day."
– Ryan Ford
"This will be the biggest sporting event ever for the state of Kentucky. The week leading up to the game on Saturday will be off the charts fun. If you are not a basketball fan, I suggest you leave town now! Just hope the losing fans will still be talking to the Cats fans after the game is over!"
– Lynn Anderson Reid
"This is bigger than the Superbowl and the Kentucky Derby for the residents of Kentucky. Our rivalry is now on the national stage. For me this means a chance at revenge and a chance to put all my UK cheering friends in their place. Cardinals will prevail."
– Jose Jose Miguel
"Personally, I'm a Cards fan, but I have no problem cheering for UK if we don't win. Granted, I know they're our rivals, but if you think about it, this is a victory for the WHOLE state of Kentucky. Whether it's UofL or UK, the state of Kentucky has a 50-50 chance of bringing home a championship! That's pretty good odds. I was born & raised in Kentucky. Even though I want UofL to win, I'll still cheer on my home state."
– Mikeal Pinkard
"This is the culmination of everything that it means to be a college basketball fan in the bluegrass, its the culmination of everything for me – an avid UK fan. I used to dream about such a matchup when I was a kid. We wont see this again in another 35 years. This game will once and for all secure our great state of Kentucky, as THE place for college basketball in the country. We have perfected it and will soon own it. Get ready for something that mankind has never witnessed before."
– Kelly Kramer

19 Hurt in Shooting at New Orleans Mother's Day Parade
Gunshots brought chaos to a Mother's Day parade in New Orleans on Sunday, leaving at least 19 people injured, authorities said.
The shots, fired from multiple guns, started just before 2 p.m. in the Seventh Ward, north of the French Quarter, said Garry Flot, a public-information officer with the New Orleans Police Department.
There were no known fatalities and most of the injuries weren't life-threatening, said police spokeswoman Remi Braden. Ten men, seven women and two 10-year-olds were injured, authorities said.
The event was a "second-line parade," a traditional celebration in New Orleans in which people listen to music and dance in the streets.
It wasn't clear how many shooters were involved or what the motive was.
Three alleged suspects were seen fleeing the scene. Authorities were seeking at least one man spotted running away from the site of the shooting. He was described as African-American, 18 to 22 years old and wearing a white T-shirt and blue-jean shorts—a description that could cover many people at the scene.
Mr. Flot said a police presence is required at such events and 10 officers had been working at the parade. No police were hit, he added.

Rally still on for Saturday
January 4, 2013
STEUBENVILLE — A rally scheduled to begin at noon Saturday at the Jefferson County Courthouse, organized by the Internet hackivist group Anonymous, is still on....
The video is despicable and disgusting, our hearts go out to the young girl and her family.
Since these boys took nude photos of the young girl without her permission, and sent them over the internet, that might legally constitute child ****. We hope federal law enforcement will consider getting involved.
Judy Jones, SNAP Midwest Associate Director, USA, 636-433-2511. snapjudy@gmail****, "SNAP (The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests) is the world's oldest and largest support group for clergy abuse victims. SNAP was founded in 1988 and has more than 12,000 members. Despite the word priest in our title, we have members who were molested by religious figures of all denominations, including nuns, rabbis, bishops, teachers, Protestant ministers and increasingly, victims who were assaulted in a wide range of institutional settings like orphanages, summer camps, athletic programs, Boy Scouts, etc."

Federal grants pay for videos to dissuade people with reality check before accepting NH health and human services job
The department is now seeing less turnover among employees in their first 12 months on the job, and officials think the videos are helping. So now they plan to make two more this summer through Concord video company Accompany, at a cost of about $18,000.

Public Square With a Produce Section
Adrian Benepe, the former New York City parks commissioner, has spent countless hours at civic hubs like Central Park and Washington Square. But lately, when he wants to pass the time at a public space, he heads to Whole Foods Market. WFM -0.42 %
"I find I go to Whole Foods just to hang out, do some work, send some emails," said Mr. Benepe, who served as parks commissioner for 10 years. "In the winter, or when it's raining, or when it's cold, a public park may not be the nicest place to be, so you have a private space that welcomes people and functions like a public space."
For Mr. Benepe and many other New Yorkers, Whole Foods has emerged as the latest makeshift civic plaza. For the cost of a coffee or nothing at all, city dwellers can people-watch, search for love or charge a smartphone at a supermarket known for its healthy food. At the same time, the supermarket chain is grappling with some of the same issues as actual city parks, including loiterers, drug use and the homeless.
In recent years, Starbucks SBUX -0.27 % has been the best-known business in New York to serve inadvertent public functions. Its stores allow noncustomers to use bathrooms and have evolved into hangouts. Reports have spread that some Starbucks workers have grown frustrated with the bathroom policy, but a company spokeswoman denied that any restrooms have been closed to the public with the exception of "rare cases at large stores with two restrooms," where one is reserved for employees.
But Whole Foods offers more than a bathroom. Unlike other local supermarkets, every Whole Foods in the city except the Chelsea location has a spacious seating area, and the company has no formal policy regarding its use. There are seven locations in the city and plans to open more—including its first Brooklyn locations in Williamsburg and Gowanus—by 2014.
"We know there are people who come in and don't buy anything, or maybe buy a cup of coffee," said Michael Sinatra, a spokesman for Whole Foods in the region. "I'm sure there are folks who bring their own lunch, or come in just to use the bathroom. And if they can come into our store and enjoy the experience, that's something we're very proud of and cater to."
Mr. Sinatra said the chain develops new locations with local demographics and interests in mind. When the Upper West Side store opened in the home of a former jazz club, it kicked off with a free jazz series.
Ronen Verbit, an artist, compared Whole Foods to a nightclub. "I've joked to friends: 'Did you know that in addition to being a place where attractive people meet each other, Whole Foods sells food?' " he said.
Mr. Verbit said he met a girlfriend after smiling at her by the prepared-foods area.
Bianca Caampued, a dating columnist and publicist, describes Whole Foods as her place of solace. After a recent breakup, she said, "I got really drunk, and then I wandered around the aisles aimlessly and met new people."
Jessica Coen, an East Village resident who edits the women's website Jezebel, touted the convenient toilets. "Whole Foods is the new Starbucks for me," she said. "It's where I pop in to use the restroom."
But the supermarket's burgeoning status as a hangout has come with difficulties as well.
At the Whole Foods on Houston Street, police said a man was arrested for displaying a fake firearm while shouting, "Go ahead, call the cops."
Allicette Torres, a 40-year-old Harlem resident, recalled seeing "a homeless guy in front of me who paid in pennies for exactly the same wine as me."
There have been 135 arrests in or near the Columbus Circle location in the first nine months of 2012, according to police statistics. The Upper West Side supermarket has recorded more than 50 arrests in that span. While nearly all came as a result of shoplifting, both stores also saw arrests for selling drugs outside.
Sandy Danto, a comedian who has spent time at the TriBeCa location, said he has seen "syringes and strung-out dudes" in Whole Foods' bathrooms.
Marc Sebastian Faiella, a 21-year-old fashion student who frequents the Houston Street store, recalled tripping over an apparent drug user in a bathroom stall. "It was annoying for me," he said.
On Sunday afternoon at the supermarket's Union Square location, about 10 women waited for the restroom in a line that stretched down the hall. The tables in the second-floor cafe were filled, many of them with 20-somethings drinking coffee and catching up with friends before the workweek. Others were standing, waiting for a table or just observing the scene.
On a bench near the restrooms, a woman with luggage sat draped in blankets, asleep.
Paul Johnson Calderon, a designer of bow ties, has even coined a term for the crowds that linger: "The Loiterrati." He explained: "It's a very New York thing. People seem to feel comfortable just hanging out there."
Mr. Sinatra, the company spokesman, said the policy was as tolerant as possible while ensuring customer safety. "We know it's a big city, and we try not to remove anyone if we don't have to," he said. "It is at each store's discretion to decide how their cafe is used in the event that the space is being taken advantage of or used in an inappropriate way."
After superstorm Sandy, Whole Foods reaffirmed its status as part of urban public life as people charged phones and pecked at laptops inside the cafes.
Yoli Ouiya managed to shop at the Houston Street location while it was powered by a generator, a few days after the storm. "I was relieved that it was open," she said. "It provided a sense of normalcy."

A 55-year-old man reported to police on Monday (June 23) that he believed a former caretaker of his 86-year-old mother, who lives in Cohasset, had used her credit card to pay for two months at a local gym. He discovered the transactions when reviewing his mother's credit card bill, police said. The caretaker, who is male, 51, and from Oak Bluffs, allegedly first used the card in April and then again in May. The matter has been turned over to Cohasset detectives who are investigating. The caretaker could face two charges: improper use of a credit card and larceny under $250, police said.
