Best Bamboo Pillow?
"Service was excellent. I would definitely use overhalfsale.com again. However, the Best
Bamboo Pillow is too hard to be comfortable. Had ordered one (also called Best Bamboo Pillow) a few months before from another company and was thrilled with the comfort of that pillow. Price was about the same."
Nice Price
"I have been using this site for a while and was always satisfied.
Recommend it any time."
"I am satisfied with my item I purchased.
Delievery was on time. I will order from
this site again????????"

Sir Excellant
"I have been very pleased with this company and so many of the items offered. The price is always great and the FREE & fast shipping can't be beat. I can see many more orders in the near future. Even placed and order earlier this morning."
Great Product, Great Price
"Great product at a great price. Super fast delivery within four days. Unbelievable! Repeat customer, always a great experience, thanks..."
Customer Service could be better
"In March I purchased 4 hand crank flashlights that are supposed to have up to 30 minutes of light per 1 minute of cranking. I got them, tried each one multiple times and never got more than a few second of light. I called the company and left a voicemail, I e-mailed 8 times and I cannot get a hold of anyone. I cannot believe that they can operate like this with faulty products and then blowing off the customer. I will never have anything to do with this company again.
After I posted my original review, the company did contact me and issued a full refund."

Inferior products
"I sent an e-mail to customer service to try and resolve a problem with a product and have not had a reply to date. This was a water filter item that requires a filter change every 3 months....come to find out this product has been discontinued and cannot find a replacement filter anywhere. Why you u sell a products without researching their after market options. I want a refund."

Film Review: It is Best to Steer Clear of This 'Entourage'Submitted by PatrickMcD on June 3, 2015 - 3:59pm
CHICAGO – I actually did watch the HBO show this big-screen iteration is based on, and I looked back in surprise to find the show actually lasted for 8 years. That's a long time for a show that peaked in season two, and petered out into irrelevance somewhere around season four or so.
TV Review: Disney XD Launches Likely Hit in 'TRON: Uprising'Submitted by BrianTT on June 6, 2012 - 8:12pm
CHICAGO – What took so long? It's the question that keeps nagging at the back of one's mind while watching the series premiere of Disney XD's "TRON: Uprising," a new animated program debuting on the network on Thursday, June 7, 2012 and a virtually guaranteed hit. This is dark, well-made, entertaining material that mines a common thematic vein in young adult fiction — defying authority.
Film Review: Renny Harlin's '5 Days of War' Succumbs to Action ClichésSubmitted by mattmovieman on September 2, 2011 - 7:32am
CHICAGO – "5 Days of War" is a stark reminder of the atrocities that can occur when a B-movie director tries to tackle serious material. The Russo-Georgian War of 2008 was largely ignored by the U.S. government and media, so it was only a matter of time until filmmakers attempted to raise belated awareness about the devastation. Too bad director Renny Harlin is skilled solely in the art of action-packed kitsch.

Adam Sandler is White Ladies Man in Judd Apatow's 'You Don't Mess With the Zohan'Submitted by HollywoodChicago.com on June 6, 2008 - 12:01am
CHICAGO – In the relatively anemic anthology of recent Adam Sandler flops, "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" hangs above with comedic charm and a nonsensically amusing plotline. The story is divisively intermingled with racial and ethnic sensitivities between the Israelis and Palestinians.

I am new to use session management & I am using struts with MySQL as backend. I am developing a simple timesheet application. My requirement is like when a user login succesfully in login page, he should be able to add the work or tasks done that are saved in the session scope of that user. Similarly he should be able to see only his timesheet data like a normal session scoped retrieval of data from database. Is it possible to use JSTL tags for session scoped backend interaction without Action class(Java Source). Pls tell a easy detailed proceedure from start to end about implementing this.
I am confused that how all users data stored in one table or database can be made to work in user session scope. If not, how should data be stored(seperate for each user ?) Plz explain.

Gracious , thoughtful and helpful hosts await you at River ' s Edge Inn in Todd NC . We stayed with Christine and Tom during our visit to the NC High Country in search for a second home . We found what we were searching for and the best NC High Country B&B in the bargain . What a joy ! Christine and Tom are emblematic of the region -colorful , friendly wonderful hosts . You won ' t find a better France - inspired breakfast ( Christine is obviously French ) then that served ! The Inn is right on the New River surrounded by breath taking mountain scenery and minutes away from Boone and West Jefferson .we asked for and accepted their advice on everything from dining choices to interesting places to visit . Tom and Christine know the area intimately . Restful evenings in a cozy bed and tastefully decorated room prepared us for very busy and fun days to follow . We will return to and plan to stay at River ' s Edge Inn again . Plus their cat Casper rocks .....

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at River's Edge Inn. Christine and Tom were very gracious hosts and very attentive to our needs, including a few special requests we had. They were able to provide great information on local sights and attractions, including great restaurant recommendations -- even for cities a couple hours away! The breakfasts that Christine made were fresh and excellent. When my wife described something she loved from France, Christine even surprised her and made it for breakfast one day! The room was immaculate every day, and the surroundings were superb. We would go back again, and will recommend it to our friends. Thanks again, Christine and Tom, for all the hospitality.

Christine and Tom are excellent hosts. Christine is a great cook, and by great I should say great to some exponential power. You don't find cooking like hers at 5 star French restaurants as she dedicates her time and effort to the single meal you are having. Railroad Grade Road is an easy and very scenic biking destination. The New is a fun river for tubing or kayaking. It was low by the Inn on the dates we were there so Tom gave a shuttles to and from a deeper spot downstream along with allowing us to borrow some kayaks. After a full day of biking and boating came cool mountain air with the sound of the river to lull us to sleep in a very relaxed and artful environment. Overall, an awesome experience.

Just stayed for a long weekend with Christine and Tom and they could NOT have been more gracious hosts. They opened their home to us and made us feel "at home". I recommend to anyone looking for a nice getaway.
5 en agosto 17, 2015
Tom & Christine were amazing ! they were both so accommodating and their attention to detail was perfect ! The house was beautiful , comfortable and extremely clean and cozy . Christine ' s preparation for our gourmet breakfast was delicious and special . Her French roots are visible throughout their home and her culinary perfection ! Tom made sure we had anything we needed and took extra time to inform us of local events he thought we would enjoy . We enjoyed our stay so much and didn't want to leave ! Thank you both so very much for welcoming my family . We will definitely be back and highly recommend anyone wanting to be pampered and comfortable for their visit to the area .

I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone wanting to get away . Tom and Christine were extremely hospitable and nice to be around . Their home is very cozy and our room was beautifully appointed and spotless and the breakfast was superb . We had a fabulous week end with them

Christine and Tom made me and my girlfriend feel extremely welcome .The stay was impeccable . Everything was beautiful and refined . And every inch of the cabin was spotless ! They provided useful tips for places to visit during our stay , provided a fantastic breakfast and everything they did was designed to make us comfortable during our time there . I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a stay near Boone and the NC ski slopes .

Christine and Tom are wonderfully delightful people and superb hosts. Christine's authentic French cuisine was delectable and waking up to a delicious breakfast with pastries, fruits, and yogurt was a treat. Not to mention her French accent is so cute! Tom is a trip! He will guide you wherever you wish to go, having a pretty vast knowledge of the area and pretty much any outdoor activity you would want to do. Kayaking was an option, but it was too cold for us. He may look like an old guy but he's pretty spry and competitive (challenge him to a game of bocce ball or table tennis!) We stayed in the Reve Bleu and it was so quaint and cozy. Everything was just nice, clean, and comfortable. They really do make you feel like guests, and not just people crashing in one of their rooms. Like most people in the world, I'm usually too lazy to write a review of anything I buy or anywhere I go, but our stay here was so amazing, I've gotten off my [figurative] butt to give credit where credit is due. We definitely recommend this place if you plan an NC mountain visit!

It just doesn't get any better than this. Christine's cooking is a treat for the eyes as well as the tongue. Plus you have a great river for paddling and a great road for biking, and Todd is a good destination for either. I love a place you don't have to use your car except maybe for an occasional kayak shuttle. Not your typical B&B, fairly new property but with lots of old world charm.

With the mechat, take to the air and watch some bullshit occur. If you want to brave the next overworld, you can immediately chase after the Nene guy in his crater in the north. Otherwise, take your "sweet-can" time exploring the rest of the "sweet-can" world with your bright shiny yellow flying "sweet-can" submarine.
There is one more village you've not been to on this planet surface. Kelaso village is west of Noluta and reachable only by air. Land the mechat and explore the area around the lodge. To get in, head left or right from the village entrance (the bottom of the stairs) and go into the cave. Loot the cabin's interior and talk to the drunk guy for the fireplace key. Use the key and head downstairs.
Talk to all the inhabitants and Mole leaves for a while. Activate the warp station, then follow Maromaru into the Old Lady's house. Get the story from her (loot the house) and have Maromaru join back up (rearrange the formation).
Talk to the Old Kelaso Lady again for a clue to where the five dragons are (for the Dragon Bracelet). Don't go dragon hunting yet; if your party's classes are not at rank 40, consider yourself lucky to last half that number of turns. More preparation is needed. Grab the accessory near the warp point, save and head back out.

Delicious and super easy. I have never tried an Irish Soda Bread, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but my entire family LOVED it! I followed the recipe except I did not put on the caraway seeds (I'm not a fan of them). The bread tasted great warm with butter! I can't wait to have some more in the morning! Thanks for the recipe!!
i tried this bread and the whole family loved it ty Robin!!!!
Very nice Irish soda bread. Tried it with cottage pie...perfect. Also made a second loaf for a batch of bread pudding. Worked wonderfully.

Go-Parts.com was a real pleasure to buy my automobile parts from. Their website is very user friendly, accurate, excellent price, and simple to place an order. I was able to track when my parts were shipped, on-time, and received it days later.... and it was the correct part! I particularly liked the fact they would check the compatibility of the parts I ordered to make sure they were correct for my vehicle. I really look forward to my next order with Go-Parts.com.

"From a mountain peak or a canyon rim a wilderness traveler can start to appreciate the vastness of a wild landscape. But even those spectacular views are blocked by adjacent peaks or river bends. Jim Wark's outstanding and mind expanding aerial photographs of American wilderness give us a bird's eye view that few of us would ever behold without the assistance of his camera. In the process we can experience the artistry of large landscape geologic formations, glaciers, coastlines, unbroken forests, and watersheds that would be impossible for the human eye to ever capture or comprehend. He has added a new dimension to wilderness appreciation. The photos are well matched by Rod Nash's concise and lyrical essays that convey the history of how these landscapes came to be protected and the colorful characters who firmly planted the wilderness concept into the American tradition, thereby giving us all an enduring legacy of wildness." ~Michael Brune, Executive Director, Sierra Club
"I'd like to think that we don't need an aerial photography book to help us appreciate nature and the last wild places in North America, but a new full-color book by photographer Jim Wark and essayist Roderick F. Nash might educate you on just how little you really recognize our wilderness... pretty much anything amazing you can imagine is represented: deserts, hoodoos, coasts, woodlands, tundras, prairies, wetlands, volcanoes, glaciers, dunes and the list goes on.... The essays by wilderness historian Robert Nash help us to see how we've gotten to this present day of limited wild places, and they shed light on the continuing struggle to keep our North American wilderness from vanishing for good. I hate to call Leave No Trace a coffee table book. It seems like so much more than that, but… if you're searching for a coffee-table-type book as a gift to someone you love, or as a treat to yourself, you're likely to be really amazed with this choice. Happy viewing and reading." ~Peggy Rowland, Lightgreenstairs.com
"Photographer and pilot Jim Wark has captured aerial images of nature from Alaska, Labrador, Hawaii, the Caribbean, and all points in between. The book has more than 300 color photographs, many of which look like paintings and keep the viewer guessing what the subject is. A Colorado River delta, for example, is suggestive of a snow-covered tree. Wark makes his photography quests solo, flying an Aviat Husky, a high-wing bushplane that enables him to operate from remote, undeveloped areas." ~Air & Space Magazine

Company is awaiting FDA clearance of IDE for polymer scaffold product.[Akhilesh Sharma-Fotolia.com]
In Vivo raised a total of $13 million in a private placement that reached its maximum overallotment capacity. The offering comprised 13 million units, with each unit consisting of one share of InVivo common stock and one warrant entitling the purchaser to buy one share of common stock over the next five years at an exercise price of $1.40 per share. InVivo notes that placement of the initial 10.5 million units was completed in October.
InVivo is focused on the development of spinal cord injury repair products. The firm is leveraging its expertise to develop both polymer-based products and polymer scaffolds combined with human neural stem cells to promote tissue repair and regeneration.
In November InVivo established its first manufacturing and development facility in Medford, MA. The facility will be used to scale up the manufacturing process for InVivo's lead biocompatible polymer scaffolding device used to treat acute open-wound spinal cord injury.
The firm has previously confirmed that it expects to start a human trial with the candidate once FDA clearance of the investigational device exemption application has been granted.

text: So my dogs had fleas and we put frontline on them a few days ago and I cleaned their beds and vaccumed the couch and our rug. I think we nipped it in the bud because we haven't gotten bit at all and we have kept the dogs completely out of the living room for three days. I've looked for fleas on the white dog because they are easier to find and I don't see any (before I could find several each time). But my yorkie still seems so uncomfortable. He's still scratching a lot and pulling hair out. I don't think he still has fleas I just think his skin is irritated. I could be wrong, but that Ithink that's the problem. What could I bathe him in that might help soothe his skin? I'm going to look at what they have at the pet store today but I was wondering if anyone knew of any product or a home remedy. I feel bad for him :( And we are leaving on Friday for a week and having other people watchin them so I'd like to have them in good shape. Thanks!

Pink Banana Theatre wrestles with truth, Internet in 'Dark Play'
When we first meet Nick in Carlos Murillo's "Dark Play," now on stage at Pink Banana Theatre Company in a production that opened over the weekend, he's a blandly attractive, seemingly wholesome collegian — "pretty much indistinguishable," as he'll later tell us, "from any other college kid."
But there's more here than initially meets the eye, as we learn when the woman sharing Nick's dorm-room bed begins asking about the web of scars along his waistline. Does Nick tell Molly the truth about these now-healed wounds? Or should he do as he's always done and make "stuff" — Nick uses a different word — up? »Read Full Article(1)

Oh really.
I'm not one of the Finley bashers, but I think the $7.5 million could be put to better use. Offensive line, running back and linebacker are all positions that need an upgrade. IMO.Hide replies
Well said.
We can draft all the oline we want, we have drafted tons over the last half decade, the problem is the coaching. The o line coach is awful.
Finley once dropped a plate of food and blamed the chef.
With five TE's on the roster you'd think at least one of them would be a legitimate receiver that opposing teams had to game-plan for.
And people wonder why the Packers are one-dimensional.Hide replies
Because you have someone named MM calling the plays.
I am still borderline shocked that DJ Williams didn't show up this year.
He has potential, lack of Concentrate
I hope we keep him. In the top 1/3 of NFL TEs. Not great but good and still young. We have plenty of need areas already. If we let Finley go, TE will be another one. And no, Crabtree is not the answer or he would have been starting.Hide replies
Finley's ot even close to being in top one-third (top 10) of NFL tight ends. Just last month, "NFL executives" in one of McGinn's "insider" stories rated Finley 23rd at tight end, and fading fast. More telling, in a fantasy league of mostly over the top Packers fanatics who draft Packers players way too high, Finley wasn't drafted until the sixth round, was cut about week 12 and never picked by anyone, even to ride their bench. To me, that means Finley is toast in Green Bay.
Finley and McCarthy were on the cutting edge of game-changing tight ends who can stretch the field, but that was in 2008. Four season later, top teams now have TWO tight end threats, while Finley is barely a starter and our other four back ups are blockers or unproven as receivers. Unless DJ Williams emerges big and fast, we wil be drafting yet another tight end despite much more glaring needs at three or four other positions. The ripple effect from Finley's immaturity and decline is much more serious than dropped passed and juvenile tweets. Instead of having tight end locked down for a decade, we have to go back to the tight end weel yet again.
Ne needs to stop tweeting, shut his mouth and catch the ball!Hide replies
He's done that and more. He's played great the last several weeks.
I think they should sign him. With Jennings gone, they need him more than ever now. Jones and Nelson on the flats, and Finley and Cobb in the slots.
Agreed he did it for a few weeks--my comment was directed to a permanent change of attitude /production on his part. He is a head case and TT is not one to suffer fools very long...
I agree with that 100%. Only time will tell if he's learned his lesson. I hope he proves us all wrong and becomes a true star.
He's already under contract so they don't have to sign him.
Pay the bonus. One less thing. Concentrate on the other stuff.
Anyone who thinks Finley will play another down with the Packers is either on drugs or using every bit of their selective memories. Thompson CAN'T WAIT to shed this royal pain in the arse. And no, two good weeks at the end of the season doesn't start to make up for all the dropped passes, whiffed blocks and juvenile tweets. Finley hasn't been a true threat since 2009, and Packers won a Super Bowl without him. Goodbye Finley, four years ago I thought you were a huge part of the Packers' future, now I can't wait for you to be gone.
I think a change of scenery would do Finley and Rodgers some good. Finley's mouth and his work ethic have irked Arod even though he doen't always say so. Finley admits he doesn't always bring it, and that is not fair to the other players that do and rely on him to do the same. He needs to go to a team where he can pad stats.Hide replies
Finley is an average tight end in the NFL! Just don't ask him! Let him go, Packers need some production from that position.
and who are they going to get whos better then finley?
The coaches and Rodgers have done nothing but praise Finley's work ethic.
sorry bagman.
you're clueless on this one.
Treatment, we'll assume that's sarcasm.
PackerFanUtah, we should already have Finley's replacement in DJ Williams. Why do you think Williams was drafted last year when we already had four tight ends? It's because Thompson already knew this was Finley's last season here.
Finley is the poster child for underachievement! let him go.
Finley is pretty good already, and his upside is off the charts. We are losing Jennings... there's no reason to lose another weapon. Yes, I know many people here would prefer that he had no personality or individuality, and simply spouted the same tired cliches, but I enjoy the guy. In case you haven't noticed, his comments and tweets have been VERY positive lately. DEFINITELY KEEP HIM.Hide replies
Upside off the charts? Really? Not a great blocker, very whinny and selfish. I'd take a player like Gronk or Hernandez any day. There are more than a few good tight ends out there who come with far less controversy and not such a big mouth. He is not the end-all be-all of tight ends. The Packers could do better with someone else who is team oriented and take the money and put it toward either line.
inconsistency may cost him his job. Just not reliable enough & a barely adequate blocker. A real handfull when he decides to put out the effort tho....
I enjoy his individualism as well. I'm tired of cloned press statements.
A) Finley has been a "weapon" since 2009. Opponents haven't game-planned for him for two years, while other teams have incorporated multiple talented receiving tight ends.
B) What you call Finley's "personality" or "indviduality" is perceived as immaturity and cluelessness by most people. The guy has been a slacker and malcontent since he arrived -- we tolerated that part of him when he emerged on the field, but it was never appreciated.

Rahmat Gul, Associated Press
KABUL, Afghanistan — A security pact with Washington that says U.S. forces staying in Afghanistan beyond 2014 will not be tried in local courts for any crimes they commit could be a deal-breaker for tribal leaders, clerics and other influential figures who gather Thursday to debate the draft agreement.
The Loya Jirga, a traditional council of 3,000 prominent Afghans, can revise or reject any clause of the draft agreement.
But National Security adviser Rangin Dafdar Spanta told lawmakers at a weekend briefing that the U.S. position was clear: If Washington doesn't get jurisdiction over its soldiers and civilian personnel, it won't sign the agreement, and it won't leave any U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan when international combat troops withdraw at the end of 2014.
The Loya Jirga's members may seek amendments, but if they reject the security pact, it is almost certain the Afghan government won't sign it. Even if it is approved, the final decision will be made by Parliament.
Divisions run deep in Afghanistan over conceding the right to prosecute U.S. soldiers for crimes committed in the country.
In eastern Afghanistan, scores of university students wearing headbands bearing an inscription from the Quran burned an effigy Tuesday of U.S. President Barack Obama to protest the pact and its provision relinquishing prosecution of American soldiers in an Afghan court. A protest meeting also was held Monday in the Afghan capital of Kabul.
Afghans are still angry over several incidents involving international troops, including the 2012 accidental burning of hundreds of copies of the Quran; a shooting spree that year by a U.S. soldier in southern Afghanistan that killed 16 people, mostly women and children; and the unintentional deaths of civilians by wayward bombs.
Hakimullah Mujahed, one of the Loya Jirga's organizers, said "the security agreement with the U.S. has to be in the framework of the Afghan constitution."
"The trial of foreign soldiers accused of killing innocent Afghans or committing crimes against Afghanistan should be tried in an Afghan court. That's very important," he added.
Lawmaker Khaled Pashtun from southern Kandahar, where a Taliban insurgency flourishes, disagreed. He said Washington is right to demand jurisdiction over its troops.
"Our justice system is still under construction. ... Even Afghans don't trust it yet," he said in a telephone interview.
Pashtun said the government "is so weak" that it hasn't been able to arrest a southern warlord accused of killing 117 civilians.
Spanta told lawmakers that Afghan President Hamid Karzai had also won concessions in the 10-year agreement.
U.S. congressional aides originally told The Associated Press that the accord explicitly denied U.S. soldiers the right to enter Afghan homes, something Karzai has demanded. But a senior U.S. official said Tuesday in Washington both sides were still negotiating the point, with the U.S. seeking more flexibility. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk publicly about the negotiations, said the key is to agree on acceptable phrasing that provides more flexibility, but so far the sides have reached no agreement.
If the pact is passed, U.S. troops will have sole control over Bagram Air Field, north of Kabul, but will share facilities on eight Afghan-run bases throughout the country, Pashtun said.
Spanta also told legislators that about 10,000 to 16,000 residual U.S. and NATO service personnel would stay behind in Afghanistan after 2014, lawmaker Shah Gul Rezayee told the AP. They would mentor and train the Afghan security forces, she said.

- Cited By
The Expedition maintained a station for a year at 80° 23′ N. 19° 31′ E. on the NTIV. coast of North East Land, and other stations for shorter periods on the west coast and on the ice cap in the interior of the country.
This paper gives monthly means and extreme values of the usual meteorological elements, as observed a t these various stations together with a general comparison between them.
Although there is reason to believe that the winter was an unusually mild one, the observations seem t o disprove the tradition of continual gales, a wind velocity of 12 to 14 m.p.h. being maintained during the dark time. Sudden large fluctuations in temperature occurred in the winter and spring, changes of 30° F. being recorded in one day. In spite of the high latitude, temperatures above 15° F. were recorded during every month of the year. An almost constant feature of the summer weather was the mist which enveloped the ice-cap station (1,700 ft.) and which was usually observed about 300 ft. up on the hills near the Base Camp.

Art and Commerce
On April 23, one day after he proposed a $23 million cut in the city's budget for the arts, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani stood in front of Christie's and welcomed the $1 billion auction firm to its new location in Rockefeller Center. After the mayor's opening remarks congratulating developer Jerry Speyer and the board of Christie's for "combining the city's artistic soul and its commercial reality," the Girls Choir of Harlem launched into a medley of songs, including "God Bless the Child." It's a good thing they knew the words"God bless the child who's got his own"because the Boys and Girls Choirs of Harlem are among the many community-based programs that will be facing a loss of funds if Giuliani's budget is passed.

As Everyone Shouts "Sexy Spy," Anna Fermanova's Attorney Insists, Nyet So Much
Between The Smoking Gun and Gawker, Anna Fermanova's bound to have the most-peeked-at profile pictures page on the Facebooks in the last several hours. And after Tim Rogers made mention of the '05 Ogle School of Hair Skin and Nails grad, several Friends of Unfair Park have wondered: Why haven't we mentioned the alleged gun smuggler, otherwise known as "America's New Sexy Russian Spy"?
Well, because I've actually been trying to reach the Russian expat and had hoped before day's end that, just maybe, we'd have a chat with the 24-year-old, who's under house arrest at her folks' house here after feds accused her of exporting to Russia high-priced rifle scopes on the U.S. Munitions List. Instead we got her attorney.
She denied the charge during a brief chat with TSG (file under "false allegations"), which also reported:
When investigators confronted Fermanova, she told them that she purchased the scopes online and that they were "generation 3 night vision" devices. Asked if she was aware of regulations covering the export of such munitions, Fermanova said that she "signed something about that," but was "not really sure what she was signing."
However, there was evidence that Fermanova understood that transporting the scopes to Russia was not permitted.
Her attorney, Scott Palmer, tells Unfair Park that she's anything but a spy or a terrorist -- in fact, he says, "the government's not even saying that." He explains:

Her husband has a friend in Russia who's "big in to hunting, and it's expensive over there -- only the rich can do it." So Anna's husband asked her -- why, we're still not sure yet -- to buy the scopes and bring them with her to Russia, where she splits her time. "And she did," Palmer says.
"Unfortunately it's illegal to take them out of the country," Palmer says. "They're on the munitions list." Her attorney acknowledges, though: With the Anna Chapman case still fresh on everyone's mind, "it's bad timing" for Fermanova.
"But it's good timing for the New York press to slander her," he says. "She's not a spy. The government's not even saying that. She's not a spy. There is no terrorism link, no espionage. It's sexier than it looks, and that's only because she's attractive."
The arraignment date in New York has not yet been set.

Hapilabs HAPIfork pictures and hands-onPocket-lint
A study has shown that the speed you eat has a big impact on the amount you eat, and how quickly you feel full. Eating slowly means you "feel" full quicker than if you shovel food into your mouth like someone is about to come and steal your plate from underneath you. So the idea behind the HAPIfork is to remind you when you're eating too quickly, and nudge you to slow down.
Hapilabs tells us that it takes about 20 minutes before you start to feel you're full - remember when your parents used to say, "Wait 20 minutes before moaning you're hungry", well they were right. So, logically, the fewer mouthfuls you take in those 20 minutes, the fewer calories and fat you'll consume in that time.
The hardware seems simple enough. The fork is able to sense when it's in your mouth because the metal part is sensitive to touch. It monitors the number of times it hits your lips, and when things get too fast and furious, it starts to vibrate.
This vibration is the main way the fork has of changing your behaviour, and because it happens in real time, it should have more of an impact than entering your meal choices into an online diet system after the fact, and learning that you've eaten too much. Another study has shown that humans respond far more proactively to things that are happening now, than what will happen in the future. So you're more likely to pay attention to a live prompter, than one you are aware of, but is not badgering you right there and then.
The fork does give you some feedback later though. It's able to track how many mouthfuls you took and over what period. This way, it's able to show how you're doing, and over time you should see the number of mouthfuls decrease. If you listen to your fork. There is an online dashboard to help with this, and apps for smartphones too.
The idea here is certainly solid, but there are obvious issues. No one eats a pizza with a fork, and we can stuff a massive one of those into our pieholes in mere minutes. Plus, the "fast" foods are often eaten with your hands, so unless you're going to break out the fork for a burger in McDonalds, this sort of thing is going to go unmonitored. And, of course, the fork doesn't know how much is on it, so if you stack it high, you'll be eating more food per forkful than is strictly necessary.
All in all, it's a neat idea, and something a bit different for weight loss. The science seems to back it all up, but it requires users to play by the "rules" to get the most from it. So people keen to lose weight should find it useful, those who aren't committed will struggle. But then that's true of any weight loss regimen.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., (WBKO) -- After all the somber news about the Watson family fire in Muhlenberg County we finally have some happy news to share with you.
We have a picture and a video of the two Watsons who survived -- Chad and his daughter Kylie.
Both Kylie and her dad look remarkably healthy in their "Watson Strong" t-shirts.
Chad's sister Tammy says Chad has improved tremendously, and Kylie will soon undergo skin graft surgery to her left arm.
She also says she and the rest of the family are hoping to host a grand homecoming for Kylie and Chad once they are out of the hospital, and that Chad is planning to tell his story on March 23 at the Felix Martin Hall Performing Arts Center in Greenville.

Extraordinary 1845 Dime, PR66
1845 10C PR66 NGC. Ex: Pittman-Kaufman. The 1845 PR66 dime
in this lot comes out of the John Jay Pittman collection, and was
included in a complete 1845 proof set. It is worthwhile repeating
David Akers' description of this sensational coin:
From the Pittman Collection
"This is an absolutely extraordinary coin, possibly the finest known Proof dime of this date and one of the highest quality proof Liberty Seated dimes of the decade. The colors in the toning are exceptional, blending light to medium reddish-gold with violet and electric-blue. ... I can only say that no coin in the entire Pittman Collection surpasses it (and the collection obviously encompasses some of the most beautifully toned Proof coins in existence).
"With the exception of the 1841, the 1845 is at least as rare as any other Proof Dime of the 1840's; only 5 or 6 Proofs exist. Like the Half dime, this Dime was purchased by JJP from the Menjou sale, 6/15/50, Lot 198, for $37. Star, Lovejoy, and Eliasberg had Proofs of this date; Norweb, Garrett and James Stack did not. The National Numismatic collection in the Smithsonian Institution also has an example. That accounts for just five pieces, but it is always possible that one or two others may exist."
In addition to the beautiful toning aptly described by Akers, the Kaufman piece is exquisitely struck throughout all of the design elements, leaving no areas with even a hint of softness. Moreover, each side displays immaculate preservation. A tiny as-made indentation between star 1 and the rock, a faint mark on the right (left facing) breast, and another above the upper right corner of the shield might help identify the coin for future catalogers. In sum, the aesthetic appeal and technical quality of this coin are beyond further mention.
Four proof 1845 dimes have been certified to date, all by NGC. These include one PR65, a PR65 Cameo, a PR66 (the present Pittman-Kaufman piece), and a PR67.
The following roster of 1845 proof dimes begins with the Pittman-Kaufman Premium Gem proof:

Brilliant in every sense of the word,
This review is from: Rango (DVD)
Director Gore Verbinski has put together quite the filmography over the years. His first feature film was the family comedy Mousehunt, which he followed up with the R-rated action comedy The Mexican. He also jumped on the successful remake bandwagon before the trend really took off with The Ring. It was the Pirates of the Caribbean films that teamed the director with the hottest actor in Hollywood today; Johnny Depp. Perhaps it's because those films made over a billion dollars at the box office or because they just had fun working together or a little bit of both that Depp was chosen to voice a talking chameleon in Verbinski's bizarre yet spectacular animated adventure known as Rango.
Rango isn't your average animated film. That fact will become abundantly clear during Rango's opening monologue amongst his "friends." The film is actually more adult than any of the trailers let on. Within the first ten minutes of the film, Rango has a rather lengthy conversation with some fresh roadkill. In addition to that, the last half of the film is much darker than the first half. Maybe it's the countless number of bats with gatling guns strapped to them, Rattlesnake Jake being one of the most menacing animated villains in years, the film using its fair share of both "hell" and "damn" quite a few times, the film not shying away from the use of nooses, or, God forbid, animated characters smoking, but Rango just doesn't feel like an everyday, run-of-the-mill film put out by Nickelodeon.
Rango also wears its western references on its sleeve. The old time saloons, tumbleweeds, stare downs before a gunfight, and a town's utmost desire for both a sheriff and something to believe in are proof of that. But perhaps it's Timothy Olyphant's cameo appearance as The Spirit of the West that is both the biggest homage to westerns you could possibly think of and the biggest surprise of the film (at least as far as his appearance goes). Well it's either that or the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas reference. Both are equally amazing.
This has the atmosphere of an animated film that was made for adults. It's very off-balanced in the best kind of way, but a lot of the references and humor are sure to go over a child's head. Some of the characters in the film talk really fast (mostly just Rango and Beans at times) and while Rango is goofy enough to make the kids laugh, the subject content involving the town of Dirt certainly seems to be aimed towards a more mature sense of humor.
Rango is the first animated film from Industrial Light & Magic, the special effects company that did computer generated effects for the first three Star Wars films and the effects for the T-1000 in Terminator 2 among countless others. The film looks phenomenal. There were times when Rango looked like he was walking in an actual desert. While the characters weren't quite as detailed as the owls in Legend of the Guardians, they still looked incredibly realistic or as realistic as talking animals could possibly be.
Rango is one of the most eccentric animated films you'll ever have the pleasure of sitting through. Its homage to westerns combined with its explosive action sequences, an endless amount of hilarity, tender and sentimental moments that actually make you feel sorry for a talking lizard, and even a little bit of romance pretty much has all your bases covered as far as genres are concerned. Rango is a dark, witty, and entertaining ride that's also fairly mature for an animated film. All in all, Rango is easily the best movie of 2011 so far.

Wow, talk about overanalyzing! Star Bux misses the point that this is a simple animated film with ecological overtones, given a western theme. There's something for everyone in it. And what is not in it can be completely made up, as seen above. Great review.

I agree strongly that this is an adult oriented animation. My 8 year old didn't really get much out of it. On the other hand, I enjoyed many of the "shots" that only animation can do: the umbrella landing on the glass at the beginning, scenes simultaneously showing through and reflected by glass.
The Fear and Loathing reference was a hoot. The western accents of characters spoofing old westerns...
Loved the film.

Waxing Moon with V1
I purchased a Nikon V1 for its portability, to use mainly for family snapshots and other photo opportunities when not carrying my DSLRs. Of course, I also got the FT-1 adapter to have some fun with my collection of Nikkor lenses on the V1. I have been particularly pleased with the amount of detail that can be pulled out of these small pixels when using longer lenses.
The following sequence of the Moon this week were all taken with the V1 mounted on a 300 mm f/2.8 VR with TC-20E III and FT-1.
Monday, 3/26/2012
Atmospheric turbulence, high thin clouds and cold windy conditions made it difficult to get a good sharp shot. This is the best of about a dozen attempts at the crescent Moon.
Tuesday, 3/27/2012
Atmosphere was a bit more stable tonight, and less wind. However, clouds started obscuring the Moon almost immediately after I set up. My first shot was the only one that was not significantly degraded by the haze or cloud cover.
Wednesday, 3/28/2012
Warmer tonight with a stable atmosphere. High, thin haze produced a visible halo around the Moon, but did not significantly degrade the image.
All were cropped at 50%, with a slight WB adjustment, and some contrast enhancement and sharpening in PP, and resized. Full size versions can be viewed at my Smugmug site "gvk.smugmug.com/Photography/Moon"
#1. "RE: Waxing Moon with V1" | In response to Reply # 0Tue 03-Apr-12 12:37 AM
Tonight was the first clear night since last Wednesday. There were still some thin residual clouds that blurred a few shots. I finally got this shot of the gibbous Moon during a brief clear interval, with enough moisture still in the atmosphere to produce a visible halo. Same lens and TC combination was used on the V1. Crop is about 2/3 the height of the original frame.
#2. "RE: Waxing Moon with V1" | In response to Reply # 1KnightPhoto Nikonian since 18th Dec 2006Wed 04-Apr-12 02:04 AM
These are all VERY NICE Gerard!
Sounds like based on your FOV I could use my 500VR or 500VR+TC14E or maybe even TC17E.
Can I use the histogram to reliably establish an exposure or how did you do it?
What kind of SS do I need to use to stop motion blur of the moon?

Yes, the 500 mm with TC14 or TC17 should work well, giving you a bit larger image than my 600 mm (300 mm + TC20). The angular diameter of the Moon is about 1/2 degree, so framing with the TC17 will be tight (estimated vertical angular FOV at about 0.6 degree).
The Earth's rotation contributes 360/24 = 15 degrees/hr of motion. The Moon's orbital motion reduces this a bit. This is also equivalent to 15 arcseconds per second (of time). So the Moon will shift in the frame about 1/2 degree, or its apparent width, in a bit over 2 minutes. For FOV 0.6 deg divided by 2592 pixels in the vertical frame of a V1 gives about 0.8 arcsecond/pixel on the sensor. So to keep blur from the Moon's motion under a pixel, you need to shoot faster than 1/15 shutter speed. My crescent Moon shots were taken at 1/50, and blur from wind induced camera motion, atmospheric turbulence and clouds affected the shots much more than motion of the Moon.
Exposure for a full Moon is typically about 1 stop more than "sunny 16," i.e. 1/ISO at f/11, or equivalent. A side lit quarter Moon needs about 2 stops more exposure, and the crescent Moon about 3+ stops compared to the full Moon.
#4. "RE: Waxing Moon with V1" | In response to Reply # 3masteven Registered since 23rd Jun 2012Sun 15-Jul-12 12:13 PM
Thank you for the detailed info of how to calculate the min. shutter speed to photograph the moon on the V1. It's very impressive how you've came up with the numbers AND why you don't want to use a long exposure for the moon.

I have a function (let's call it
foo($array_reference, ...)) that expects an array reference among other parameters. I want to have
foo shift the array reference off the list of parameters passed to it directly to an array, without having to shift it off as an array reference and then separately convert that to an array.
What I want should be something like:
my @bar = @{shift};
What I do not want, but am currently stuck with:
my $bar = shift;
my @bar = @{$bar}
The latter approach wastes lines, wastes memory, and causes me to hate the writer of this type of Perl code with a fiery passion. Help, please?

I have to equate my visit to this hotel for their News Years Eve venue to how they treat their guests, in my opinion if my visit there was a rude unprofessional experience for New Years Eve the hotel side of the business would have been the same, so with that said let me tell you that the hotel, the cuisine, the staff, from the busboys to the hotel management staff was as good if not better than any place I can remember, I would not hesitate to staying there as a guest nor would I hesitate to recommend to anyone to dine in there restaurant. I would take this opportunity to thank everyone who had a hand in making my New Years experience a terrific time, some people forget while people are having a serious good time with family and friends, the people making that happen are working and not with their family's, so thanks from Mr. Jonathan Israel and guests.

HE SHOULD be "rock solid" since it does have a lock on the electric business in Hawaii! Even sadder that it is not now "rock solid." What would they do if they had competition? It will be turned around, but the question is when?
