How California Went From Top of the Class to the Bottom
California was once the world's leading economy. People came here even during the depression and in the recession after World War II. In bad times, California's economy provided a safe haven, hope, more opportunity than anywhere else. In good times, California was spectacular. Its economy was vibrant and growing. Opportunity was abundant. Housing was affordable. The state's schools, K through Ph.D., were the envy of the world. A family could thrive for generations. read more »
The Crisis Next Time: Public Finance
The financial crisis of 2008 paved the way for the employment crisis of 2009, which has now paved the way for the upcoming public finance crisis of 2010. Most federal, state and municipal budgets are strained to the breaking point while the economy still has not found its footing. Meanwhile our national politics is obsessed with expensive overhauls of environmental policy and healthcare reform. Our latest policy strategy is an attempt to borrow and spend our way to prosperity, ala Japan of the past twenty years. read more »
Don't Give Up On The U.S.
If the U.S. were a stock, it would be trading at historic lows. The budget deficit is out of control, the economy is anemic and the political system is controlled by academic ideologues and Chicago hacks. Opposing them is a force largely comprised of know-nothings--to call them Neanderthals would be too complimentary.
Not surprisingly, many Americans have become pessimistic. Two in three adults now fear their children will be worse off than they are. Nearly 40% think China will become the world's dominant power in the next 20 years, as indicated by a recent survey. read more »
The Economic Fallout of the Chicago Way
Many large American cities are hurting from the recent recession. Unrealistic revenue assumptions based on ever higher real estate prices and sales tax receipts have left cities unable to pay their basic bills. As asset and consumer prices deflate, from a lack of demand, those cities with "sticky" costs – the result of overly powerful unions and excessive business regulations – are stuck in an economic quagmire.
Chicago has become a leading poster child for recent urban economic malaise. With the election of Barack Obama, 2009 was supposed to be a year in which the Windy City basked in glory. read more »
The Green Movement's People Problem
The once unstoppable green machine lost its mojo at the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. After all its laboring and cajoling, the movement at the end resembled not a powerful juggernaut but a forlorn lover wondering why his date never showed up.
One problem is that the people of earth and their representatives don't much fancy the notion of a centrally dictated, slow-growth world. They proved unwilling to abandon either national interest or material aspirations for promises of a greener world. read more »
Memo to Big City Pols: Voters' Suspicions on Influence Peddling Is Far Cry From Stupidity
A significant clue on why the City of Los Angeles is facing budget deficits of hundreds of million annually for the foreseeable future can be found in the relationship between elected officials and AEG, the company that's controlled by Denver-based multi-billionaire Philip Anschutz.
AEG owns the Staples Center and the adjacent L.A. Live, which includes shops and restaurants to go with one nice hotel and another luxurious establishment that will be topped by high-priced condominiums when completed. read more »
The Urbanophile Plan for Detroit
If Brookings' plan for Detroit isn't enough to get the job done, what is?
Turning around Detroit means facing head on the core problems that hobble the region, notably:
• America's worst big city race relations
• A population that is too big for current economic reality
• A management and labor culture rooted in an era that no longer exists and is unsuited to the modern economy
• A tax, regulatory, and political system toxic to business read more »
Detroit Needs a Bolder Plan
The Brookings Institution recently unveiled "The Detroit Project", a plan to revive Detroit, in the New Republic. Brookings' plan has good elements and recognizes some important realities, but also has key gaps. It relies excessively on industrial policy and conventional approaches that are unlikely to drive a real turnaround in America's most troubled big city. read more »
What Happens When California Defaults?
The California Legislative Analyst's Office recently reported that the State faces a $21 billion shortfall in the current as well as the next fiscal year. That's a problem, a really big problem. My young son would say it was a ginormous problem. In fact, it may be an insurmountable problem. read more »

My liver can't handle this much gray hair.
Mmmm, can't wait, bulk cissus flavored protein please....
I actually like it. Tried a small tub and then bought a big tub. Works great for shakes as well as ice cream. Not really sure that's leg humping and I don't like dirt flavored supplements.
Taste was quite surprising in a good way.
Haha, I'm sure that wouldn't make things clear
Actually been using both the granules and Katana the last few weeks together. No negative issues to speak of.
Oh Mr. Officer it's nothing really I swear, it's just my PA.....
Pocket lint is anabolic I hear
100% troll
Definitely was surprised by how good this one is. Throw it in some oats with some fresh peaches, wow.
Honestly, the hassle is pretty overblown. I travel pretty frequently for work, small single serving Tupperware containers aren't any more cumbersome than packing capsules. I get where you're coming...
Hassle? Not sure what the hassle would be, I mean other than the hassle of making sure my wallet has enough room for the savings.
No doubt, hope their sales pick up.
Prime must pay you by the word
Oh for fooks sake, someone needs to break your keyboard...
Actually a double bonus as not only can I turn them in but the wife won't bitch at me for having labels laying around anymore. Thanks for the info!
So do your labels expire? I ran across a bunch in a moving box over the weekend that I had cut out at one time, and wondering if they'd still be honored.
If you're referring to the post on his forum referring to more lawsuits to follow after posting the FDA warning letters, he's most likely referring to personal injury lawsuits such as the ones he...
It must vary lot number to lot number again....

Content Marketing Like a Pro to Generate Leads
Earlier this month, Daryl Colwell, senior vice president at MediaWhiz, led a session titled "Content Marketing Like a Pro: Tactics and Techniques to Increase Search Engine Visibility" at Online Marketing Summit in San Diego. The in-depth presentation asserts that "Content marketing educates prospects and gets them to realize that you are the best option for what they really want or really need."
Colwell walks marketers through the relationship between SEO and content marketing, how to use content to generate leads, and best practices for lead generation. He also offers 10 takeaways, including:

HourlyHours to be determined
Expert Level
Start DateJune 10, 2014
First thing's first: I need someone available right now and probably for the next 12 hours to assist with a site launch that's scheduled for 8:30PM EST today, 6/10/14. If you are not immediately available, this is not for you.
Second: I need someone who is expert level with WordPress and AWS (and probably the LAMP stack). You need to have expertise in both technologies, and have considerable experience deploying WordPress sites on AWS. Special preference given if you've deployed a particularly large or complex website on AWS before.
Here is our problem: We're experiencing some issue that we can't track down that is putting considerable strain on Apache and MySQL, causing the website to hang. We keep experiencing the dreaded "white screen of death". This isn't a load issue, as we have way more capacity than we need. It appears that a plugin or some other function is causing a glitch in the AWS config.
Bottom line, our WordPress site and AWS aren't playing nicely, and with our site going live tonight, we need this resolved.
Your task would be to analyze our config, troubleshoot the issue, and propose a solution. We may also need you to be available on Thursday and Friday, should we experience more issues.

From School Library Journal
Grade 3–6—Five pond geese trade security for the exhilaration of freedom to lead a lost one-eyed heron to the migration gathering in the Adirondacks in upstate New York. Foolhardy Skylar has some vague memories of his first migration when he was grounded and left behind during a storm. He leads opinionated Roosevelt, stalwart Esther, pudgy Loomis, and anxious little Weedle through several adventures and scrapes to their goal. Liwska's shaded black-and-white pencil renderings work with the text to give readers a strong sense of place. Realistic geese behaviors and touches of humor keep pace with strong themes (facing fears and learning through experience). Grounded in nature, like Donna Jo Napoli's Ugly (Hyperion, 2006), Skylar also includes a fatal scene with a hunter. The writing is strong, though a few wobbly phrases such as "The sun opened the horizon like an invitation" and geese descending from the sky "as if delivered of it" may need some clarification. With its evocative descriptions and some challenging vocabulary, this book makes a great read-aloud.—Susan Hepler, formerly at Burgundy Farm Country Day School, Alexandria, VA

From Booklist
Can five overweight pond geese successfully go wild and migrate? They hope to, assuming they can stop squabbling long enough to pick a direction and fly. Skylar, the self-appointed leader, finds himself leading his motley flock on their first migration. Nature imagery and extensive information on the migratory habits of Canada geese infuse a text, punctuated by occasional soft, black-and-white full-page illustrations. Through a series of perilous encounters with storms, ice, and raccoons, the story builds slowly, filled with introspections about fear, danger, and what it means to be wild. The pace quickens when the geese talk with each other, their near constant bickering adding a dose of humor. Complex sentence structures and vocabulary make this a good choice for readers ready to move away from transitional books like Johanna Hurwitz's Park Pals series into more realistic animal stories. Or use as a classroom read-aloud about teamwork, leadership, and rising above fear. Grades 3-5. --Suzanne Harold

Southampton had the temerity to score after three minutes at
Old Trafford but order was quickly restored with Rooney
equalising five minutes later and completing the turnaround
with a 27th-minute tap-in.
In the battle for top-four places there was frustration for
the main contenders with third-placed Chelsea denied a fifth
consecutive away league victory as they let slip a 2-0 lead
at Reading to draw 2-2.
Chelsea remain four points clear of Tottenham Hotspur who
needed a Gareth Bale equaliser in a 1-1 draw at Norwich City
while sixth-placed Arsenal drew 2-2 at home to Liverpool
having trailed 2-0 with half an hour remaining.
Fifth-placed Everton cashed in on the dropped points of those
around them in the table with a 2-1 home victory over West
Bromwich Albion to move one point behind Tottenham and three
clear of Arsenal.
In a London derby alongside the River Thames Fulham beat West
Ham United 3-1.

The moment you enter the John W. Engeman Theater (JWE) at Northport, you know you're going to have a wonderful evening.Could it be the free valet parking right outside the theater that catches your fancy? Or is the warm ambience of the Green Room's Piano Bar and lounge, resembling a Manhattan Bar on the Main Street of Northport Village? Serving the finest drinks, wines and beers before and after each performance, drinks can be ordered in the magnificent amphitheater itself by waitresses serving in the adjoining lobby.I've been there twice so far, last year when JWE performed Oliver and my granddaughter made her debut in a professional theater andthis time's for Miracle's opening night.
I bring this to your attention because although I saw evening performances both times, last year we arrived early to have a pre-dinner show. Northport is full of great restaurants within walking distance of the theater and reservations are a must. The JWE theater makes it the cultural center for northern long island, where great Broadway productions are performed all year round, I'm looking forward to the JWE production of "Fiddler on the Roof" come April. I'm a lover of musicals, especially those that stand the test of time.
A great musical stands on its own merit and doesn't need a Gertrude Stein, Ethel Merman or Mary Martin to sell it. That's why I love to see musicals%u2026all you need are talented actors, singers and dancers with great directors.
A wonderful plus to seeing a Broadway production at JWE is the ability to meet and drink with the performers after each show. The actors have to return to Manhattan by a chartered bus each evening and they unwind with a drink or two at the end of each show relishing in the compliments they receive from their new found fans.For instance, the little star Gianna LaPera came to sit next to me in the lounge seating in the lobby.She was eating hungry after a great performance and was attempting to bite into her sandwich. I leaned over to her just as she was about to take a bite and I told her "You were great1 you were better than Natalie Wood was in the original movie."Her mouth dropped, her eyes opened wide and while putting back her sandwich on her plate, said "Thank you" and ran off to find her mother in the crowd to tell her of my compliment.Her mother came over later to thank me and tell me how excited she was with my compliment.I found out that she lives in Brooklyn Heights near MetroTech, where the Courierl Life Chain of newspapers headquarters are, and told her to watch out for my revue in the Brooklyn Graphic or to go on line www.yournabe .com and search Carmine Santa Maria or Big Screecher to bring up my revue in the column.
I also complimented Laurie Wells who starred as Gianna's mom, and Dale Hensley who literally played the mad psychiatrist.My granddaughter Alexa went to bring the Big Kris Kringle to her Real Santa Claus to take a photo. Kenneth Cavett has a great voice and stature assures you that he is the real Kris Kringle, even though he is without his Red Suit throughout the musical.I explained to him that Alexa was my first grandchild and she always suspected I was her Santa, but was smart enough not to say anything to her younger brother Michael or parents. I mentioned that when she first went to Nursery school when she was four, I volunteered to bring my Brooklyn "Real Santa" persona to her Nursery Christmas show in Long Island.I sat in the audience in the last row at the start of the show and then run to the put on my Santa Garb to make my Ho Ho Ho entrance. Immediately recognizing my very loud Ho Ho Ho, she looked at me on stage, then looked at the last row to where I was sitting to see if her Poppy was still there.I chuckled under my beard when I saw the light bulbs lit on in her brain, she knew! Kenneth laughed at the Christmas vignette and said that Alexa is something special!
Take this Santa's tip and go on line to order your tickets www.Engema
Screech at you next week!

The apartment was in a good location, well equipped and clean too. Bed linen and towels were available. Unfortunately, under the apartment was a small shop where people were staying still like night and sometimes were very loud. In one night, even up to 2 clock in the morning. To sleep was impossible.
Die Wohnung hatte eine gute Lage, war gut ausgestattet und war auch sauber. Bettwäsche und Handtücher waren vorhanden. Leider war unter der Wohnung ein kleiner Laden wo sich gerne abends noch Personen aufhielten und z.T. sehr laut waren. In einer Nacht sogar bis 2 Uhr morgens. An schlafen war nicht zu denken.
We have been here with our three children. The appartment is basic, but has everything you need. Three bedrooms, a kitchen and a small shower which was always warm. Some noise of the neighbours. The neighbourhood is lively and in Alfama. A lot of restaurants nearby.
Travel in early February with family (young grandma, parents, baby) for a week - to recommend apartment very much! Good location to reach everything on foot, only Arriving suitcases a bit difficult, as uphill on cobblestones ;)
Very, very nice reception with a good explanation of where that can be found. Call option in case of problems (which we have not used, since we had no problems).
Apartment itself quite noisy, but large enough not to stand on the feet. No super-luxury, all-moderately basic furnished but perfectly adequate for a sightseeing holiday, where you just do not work as much "at home" is.
We enjoyed the stay and would recommend this condo!
Reise Anfang Februar mit Familie (junge Oma, Eltern, Baby) für eine Woche - Appartement sehr zu empfehlen! Gute Lage, alles zu Fuss zu erreichen, nur Anreise mit Koffern ein bisschen beschwerlich, da bergauf auf Kopfsteinpflaster ;)
Sehr, sehr netter Empfang mit guter Erklärung, wo was zu finden ist. Möglichkeit bei Problemen anzurufen (die wir nicht genutzt haben, da wir keine Probleme hatten!).
Appartement selber recht hellhörig, aber gross genug, um sich nicht auf den Füssen zu stehen. Kein super Luxus, alles basic-mässig eingerichtet aber völlig ausreichend für einen Stadtbesichtigungsurlaub, bei dem man ja sowieso nicht so viel "zuhause" ist.
Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und würden dieses Appartement weiter empfehlen!
The apartment and the host was very friendly, we had a very pleasant stay in Lisbon is a beautiful city!
L'appartement et l'hôte étaient très sympathiques, nous avons passé un très agréable séjours à Lisbonne qui est une ville magnifique!!
Very welcome Pedro gave us all the right information in order to appreciate our stay in Lisbon! (Casa da Veronica) Thanks again for everything Lisbon has much charmed us by its simplicity and unusual side. A very pleasant stay we certainly renew. I posted the address of your site to many people because it's worth it!
Très bon accueil de Pedro qui nous a donné toutes les bonnes informations pour pouvoir apprécier notre séjour à Lisbonne ! ( Casa da Veronica)
Merci encore pour tout
Lisbonne nous a beaucoup charmé par sa simplicité et son côté atypique.
Un séjour très agréable que nous renouvellerons certainement.
J'ai diffusé l'adresse de votre site à bon nombre de personnes car cela vaut le coup !
We're glad we rented this house. House has a great location, about 100 M.Da tram 28. Owner and kind.
Siamo contenti che abbiamo affittato questa casa. Casa ha ottima posizione, circa 100 m.da tram 28. Proprietario e gentile.
Good location, great value for money and Ricardo friendly and available for any kind of request.
Buona posizione, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo e Ricardo gentilissimo e disponibile per ogni tipo di richiesta.
The apartment is nice and well located. Also the host is very helpfull.
The negative point is that the walls are very thin. So you can hear your neighbours easaly. Our neigbour upstairs did not sleep untill 4 and 5 in the morning and made all night strange noises.So we could not sleep. We reported this ( too late ) to the host and they promised to be in contact with the neigbour in order to solve the problem for the future.
This apartment was perfect for our stay in Lisbon. We were six persons and nevertheless the space was sufficient. Fully and well equipped, we spent nice hours in the apartment and on the small balcony - watching the people on the streets. As it is located in lively Alfama, we only had short ways to explore Lisbon! Fortunately we were all small girls, but we could imagine that taller people might have some problems showering as the ceiling was relatively low.
When we had a question or a problem we could always ask Ricardo for help. And not to forget to mention the yummy Pastels de Nata that welcomed us upon arrival. Thank you for a great week in Lisbon!
We had a very nice stay in this apartment. We liked the neighbourhood, in easy walking distance of metro station and centre. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. The apartment is really tiny but okay for a few days; everything you need is there, it is quiet, the bed is good and it is nice to be surrounded by Portugese living in the same tiny apartments!

Morgan Stanley Sells Largest Note Tied to Amazon.com This Year
Morgan Stanley sold $16.2 million of one year auto-callable notes tied to Amazon.com Inc., the biggest offering linked to the world's largest Internet retailer since December.
The securities, issued Sept. 12, pay 3.588 percent each quarter that the company's stock is at least 75 percent of its initial price, according to a prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. They are automatically redeemed if the shares are higher than or equal to the starting value. The bank distributed the notes for a 1.5 percent fee.
On Dec. 15, HSBC Bank Plc sold through its U.S. unit $19 million of one-year securities tied to the Seattle-based company that pay 10 percent annually, with an additional 7.65 percent if the stock gains at least 10 percent, according to a prospectus filed with the SEC. Since the note's issuance, the company's shares have climbed about 43 percent, while the value of the security has increased 9.7 percent, according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
Earlier this month, the online goods seller unveiled new e-readers, including a Kindle Fire with an 8.9-inch screen.

I got a high spec server. (128G memory, 1.2T harddisk and 12-core cpu x 2 )
I would like to know how many KVM instances can work on one server. For example, If 200 instances work on one server, one instance spec is
- memory: 512M
- hard disk: 5G
- cpu: 1 core
In this case, VMs work correctly? I googled and got a IBM report about kvm limitation that was good for me, but I would like to know another view .

I'm a Post-Doctoral Fellow in atmospheric remote sensing at the University of Reading in Reading, Berkshire, England, United Kingdom. I first came to Stack Exchange for practical reasons: Tex.SE has been of major help when I wrote my licentiate (midterm) thesis. Since then, I have discovered the joy of many websites. As my network profile will show, I'm interested in travel, outdoor, scientific skepticism, and as I work in academia, also in academia and LaTeX.

This is my single most worry about the whole giants offseason. Please let us get lucky and at least have some luck with him. Big unknown here.

This is my single most worry about the whole giants offseason. Please let us get lucky and at least have some luck with him. Big unknown here.
Nahhh. Eli isnt going anywhere.
First 5 mins with Fewell, he said he would like to call the defense from the top view. Coughlin made him coach from sideline. This should have been a deal breaker and we should have went somewhere...
Theres a big differenct between Beckham and Lebron James. Lebron is best basketball player now. I think Jordan is best ever. But best athlete on planet? Not James by far. Most of his dominance...
Why would they be!!! He stinks
SOUUUP!! He could be something
Keep him if it can be worked out. If its easily affordable ya gota take the chance he can stay on field. Teach Kennard like 2120 said. Then at least we have position filled and good backup.
Patterson knows what system. Fewells?
Whats wrong with you. He isnt taking steroids!! He is in good shape. Not all jacked up and veiny. Its called supreme athletic ability.
yeah right after he smokes a blunt. Is it ok with everyone if we try to get a little younger?
I think this kid is going to get himself in trouble. Pics on facebook hangn with the wrong people. He is a little too high strung. Its just too good to be true man.
Protect. Pressure.
Can we please forget about this guy?
he missed some tackles this yr which doesnt help him at all. his range isnt what it was I dont think. he ran his mouth all yr. he will have to take a slap in the face deal im sure. sure we will...
No!! bringn Osi back is trying not to make the playoffs. He is old and washed up. He has been washed up.
over since he missed that sack. Im still shaking my head. He was soft. Servicable. Cried about his contract. Well you cant be the worst DE in the damn league and get payed big!!!
he could at least fix it. or never post again!!
Im just glad we got San Fran at home and overall schedule isnt one of tuffest schedules for once.
JPP for sure. Osi had Mike Strahan and Justin Tuck. Osi had one trick. JPP better in trenches
I dont think drops is a problem with his catching skills. He is thinking about turning up field and making something happen and looses focus on completing the catch. Offense is flat and he is...
I just think we were gona end up let down. Either way. Its over. long over.
Nope. I didnt say anything about him getting hurt. Never have I like seeing anyone or anything hurt. I didnt forget his special teams stuff. I also didnt forget all his fumbles and mistakes and...
Its just a shame if his career is over. My glass is half empty on this one man.

This review is from: Night Owl NOPEN-4GB-B 640 x 480 MAX Resolution Executive Camera Pen with Pre-installed 4GB of Memory
Pros: Initially it was ideal for what I was looking for... Initially.
Cons: Have owned it for just over a month, conveniently not working any more. From the time I recieved it to today i have used to a grand total of 20 minutes... So as I was getting it setup today to use to discover the identity of the missing DVD bandit in my home it now doesnt work at all, no light when charging, no identification from my computer, nothing.. Followed all instructions to a T a can only recommend that anyone looking at this product to run for the hills, poorly made and you will save yourself some cash if you look elsewhere. Furious...

This review is from: HP 2159m Black 21.5" 5ms, 3ms(GTG) HDMI Full HD 1080P Widescreen LCD Monitor 1000:1 Built in Speakers
Pros: Great resolution and refresh rate. VERY crisp picture with no ghosting whatsoever.
Cons: The only reason I purchased this monitor was due to the monitor/speaker combo which saved greatly on space. As of last night the speakers decided to stop working. I did a factory reset, no luck. I swaped speakers from the PC and the PC is putting out sound so it is specifically the monitor speakers.
Volume is all the way up on monitor as well as there is no sound coming from monitor speakers when I do the built in speaker test..... As there is no sound coming from the monitor on the speaker test I am certain that the speakers have stopped working all together.
Other Thoughts: I have always been a HP monitor/printer-scanner/computer advocate but with this turnabout I am seriously dissapointed with their quality controlREAD FULL REVIEW

Pros: Goes right in, no trouble. Ram tested like a charm.
Cons: trying to get it to run at 1600
Other Thoughts: Ok so I built my first system after finally having the finances to do so...
My first and only problem that I ran into is that I put this ram into an AMD motherboard (i know i know, beginners mistake)

The Outram School administration block needs a new roof and
the contract is up for tender.
The block, which contains the office, staffroom and
principal's office, has had a leaky roof for some time.
Acting principal Amber Paterson said the leaks were because
the building was old.
The school had had a temporary fix done.
However, the roof needed more than that, she said.
School pupils would not be affected.
The Ministry of Education had recognised there was a problem
and provided funding for the work.
According to the Ministry of Education's advertising, main
contractors were invited to submit registrations of interest.
The project involved removing and recladding walls identified
as leaky, plus
removal of all flat roofs and reconstructing to falls with
Corrugate covering, as well as work on all associated
The approximate value of the work was $120,000.
It was to be carried out in December 2014 and January 2015.
Applications closed on Monday.
Outram school celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2010.
It caters to pupils from new entrants to year 8.
The school has a role of 215, and nine full-time classrooms.

Hi there,
I use "wp-e-commerce" plugin 220.127.116.11
and I would like to add a new checkout form set in order to apply a specific field,
not only to a particular category of a product but linked to the quantity of this one.
For example, if you choose a product twice, the specific field appears twice in the checkout form. (Then when you update qty in co form, the number of specific fields must change)
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Sci-Fi Weekly
Parker (2013)
"Parker is a functional enough actioner but lacks pizzazz. "
Dead Man's Burden (2013)
"Dead Man's Burden isn't [great], but it's not a bad horse opera and is unflinching in its depictions of harshness and violence. "
Looper (2012)
"Looper is one of the few modern-day character-motivated science fiction films to [also] succeed on levels of action and suspense. "
Dredd (2012)
"I highly recommend Dredd for what it is: a super-violent, well thought-out, effective thriller and action film that's flawlessly cast and has several supreme scenarios of cat-and-mouse. "
Re-Animator (1985)
"Blu-ray is excellent - it's presented in a brand-new 1080p HD transfer approved by producer Brian Yuzna. "
Cosmopolis (2012)
"Though the cool, insolent stoicism does work for Pattinson as the narcissistic royal-'we' speaking wunderkind, even he can't carry this weighty, wordy dissertation on the burdens of money, fame and power. "
Steve Niles' Remains (2012)
"All things considered, Remains is reasonably entertaining escapism and is a fun enough apocalyptic fright fest. "
Magic Mike (2012)
"If you're expecting any frontal nudity, you'd be disappointed. Although there is a quick shocking moment of a fluffing device, it's not like the frontal nudity in the last of the "American Pie" movies, or other R-rated movies. It doesn't go that far. "
The Iron Rose (1973)
"Boy meets girl. Boy takes girl to graveyard. Boy regrets decision. "
Area 407 (2012)
"Found footage shakes on a plane. "
Sound of My Voice (2012)
"While not a showy or stylistic film by any means, Sound of my Voice is impressive. "
"When it comes to the sheer artistry of filmmaking, it's an astounding, jaw-dropping feat of furious beauty. "
Rabies (2012)
"While I can't say I really enjoyed Rabies (the story is just too tired and the characters too stock, for someone raised on horror movies), I do respect its fine filmmaking. "
The Time Traveler's Wife (2009)
"Actually, In Time's not that bad. It's just not that good, either. "
Bitter Feast (2010)
"Bitter Feast is like a meal that begins with a tasty, light appetizer, but winds up with a too-heavy dessert that makes you wish you hadn't taken that last bite. "
The Traveler (2010)
"The Traveler yet another feature film with only a half-hour Twilight Zone episode materials' worth in it. That's not to say it's not worth a look, but don't expect too much. "
The Fourth Kind (2009)
"Frankly, this movie is quite scary when it's viewed with the idea that this is the film version of creepy disappearances that are really happening in Nome, Alaska. When it's not that, it's almost laughable. "
The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)
"One of her suitors stays out all night with his weird friends. The other does his "Brokeback Mountain" thing with his buddies in the woods. "

TV Shows Channel City
Eight Programs Set to Begin Filming in New York; From Cops to 20-Somethings
The city is set this year to become home to a slew of new television series even as some long-time denizens have exited the stage.
Eight new prime-time series are slated to shoot in New York, including shows produced by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, Judd Apatow and J.J. Abrams. That represents a significant rebound for the city's film-production industry after a period in which it lost its longest-running series, "Law & Order," and suffered the cancellation of its last remaining soap opera, "One Life to Live."
"If you look at these numbers, there's a lot of evidence to support the idea that people are finding it easier and more appealing to produce in the city," said Katherine Oliver, commissioner of the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment.
Part of that appeal stems from the state Legislature's approval last year of $420 million in film-production tax credits through 2014.
On top of the 14 prime-time episodic series to which New York is already home—NBC's "30 Rock," HBO's "Bored to Death" and CBS's "The Good Wife" among them—come new shows that feature plots and settings highly specific to the city. That includes CBS's "The 2-2," produced by Tribeca Film Festival founders Mr. De Niro and Ms. Rosenthal, which follows six rookie officers in the New York Police Department.
The pilot of "The 2-2" was filmed primarily in the South Bronx and in Morningside Heights, where much of the series will be filmed in addition to Silver Screen Studios at Chelsea Piers. "The diversity of looks that you can get while shooting outside in New York is extraordinary," said Ms. Rosenthal.
Another forthcoming series, MTV's "I Just Want My Pants Back," a comedy about four recent college graduates, will be filmed almost exclusively on location in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
"Setting it in a place like Greenpoint was really important for me because a key aspect of the show is that you have these two different groups"—trendy 20-somethings and longtime Polish residents—"vying for the same airspace," said co-executive producer Doug Liman, whose previous work includes directing "Swingers." "The friction between those two groups is something I was passionate about getting on screen."
The show's other executive producer, David Bartis, who is based in Los Angeles, recalled the enjoyable unpredictability of filming on location in New York. He described an incident in which they called the police on an intoxicated bartender at Greenpoint bar Tommy's Tavern, where they filmed the pilot. The bartender refused to leave the premises, Messrs. Bartis and Liman said, making it impossible for them to continue filming.
Reached by phone, the owner of Tommy's Tavern, Thomas Kaminski, said their account was inaccurate, though police records confirm that police responded to a call at that location concerning a bartender who was "intoxicated and making threats to crew members."
"It's probably one of the reasons why you shoot in New York—because you want to live in a reality that creeps into your production," Mr. Liman said. "If you look carefully, I'm sure you can see him in the background."
Despite the challenges, the payoff is often worth the effort. While the Mayor's Office doesn't maintain economic-impact statistics specific to TV shows, a 30-minute broadcast-network comedy series typically employs between 300 and 700 crew members and between 200 and 1,000 extras.
With the abundance of forthcoming shows, Ms. Oliver's office may face some logistical dilemma. "Everyone wants those beauty shots," she said. "And it can be challenging at times to meet the needs of the directors, and we very rarely say no."

I wanted a statement piece for my 11 year old niece's bedroom that I helped her redecorate. Her tiny 9x9 room doesn't fit much, and she loved this pendant. The bright turquoise inside is her favorite color so she was drawn to it. Since her room is light gray the brass finish didn't work, but a can of metallic silver spray paint took care of that. I bought a hard wire ceiling kit but I wanted one with ring in the center to help support the fixture. So, i got a ceiling canopy kit and took parts from both. I also shortened the chains so it wouldn't hang too low in her tiny room. Her bedroom came out amazing and this light is a big part of that. I hope to upload a pic!
I really love this lamp shade. I used on a brass floor lamp which is 30 years old and it looks beautiful. The turquoise glows from underneath and the look is so unique its just perfect ;}
Lots of compliments, I have it hanging over a kitchen bar area. Adorable. I purchased a second one to hang in our guest house!
This lamp was a perfect size for my spare bedrooms to use over a night table. The deficiency is in the fact it is not a lamp. It it only a shade with a foot or so of chain. Even Home Depot didn't sell all the parts and pieces we needed to make this product a functioning lamp. We ultimately had to go to an electrical supply store where we spent $12 in addition to the $30 we spent at Home Depot for chain and wire. I am fortunate enough to have a handy husband but woe to those who do not. I would recommend this product only if you have the skill set to make it a lamp.
~love the fixture, just need the right room-interior turquoise is a bit dark for dining room (it's intended room), though love, love, love the look; have to purchase separate light kit (only wish there was one that was the same coppery color)
I just remodeled my family room with turquoise accents and this lamp that is painted turquoise in the inside was the perfect overhead lamp for the room. It is very cool.

Emergency 2013 will launch as expansion to Emergency 2012
Emergency 2013, the follow up to Deep Silver's cataclysmic natural disaster title will launch as an expansion to Emergency 2012. It sees a giant volcano erupting in Europe and generally ruining everyone's day.
Strategy Informer reports that Emergency 2013 will see players diverting the magma flow from the volcano, dousing forest fires, saving people from eruptions, venting toxic gas and more. It's like the disaster element of Sim City, but purely focused on chaos.

This Application is a continuation of pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/787,577 filed Feb. 26, 2004, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
This invention relates to rapid prototyping of microwave modules and more particularly to the utilization of metal coating of a stereolithographic assembly (SLA) model for the provision of a physical model that can function as an active microwave electronic circuit suitable for testing and demonstration.
Microwave and monolithic microwave modules have been formed in which the circuits themselves are mounted into a passive electrically conductive housing or carrier and have active electronic elements such as filters, mixers, switches, amplifiers, and the like epoxied or soldered to the interior of the housing, with a top lid hermetically sealing the housing. The devices are made of plates or sheets of conductive material such as metals which have to be manufactured by ion milling to exceedingly high tolerances.
The reason for the high tolerances is that one seeks to minimize losses through the monolithic microwave integrated circuit, with the losses resulting from dimensional inaccuracies which can cause detuning of the circuit because it varies the propagation structure and because roughened surfaces result in mismatches and/or circuit losses.
In order to provide a prototype for a final microwave assembly, the prototyping process in the past has required multiple different steps starting with the circuit designer. The circuit designer will design a module utilizing some sort of drawing. The drawing is then transferred to a machine shop which requires that the drawing be put in a CAD CAM format so that a solid blank of material can be hogged out and then microfinished to the required dimensions by etching, grinding or milling. This requires a numerical control (NC) tape, with the milled product then being transferred to a plating shop at which point, for instance, gold plating is sputtered onto an appropriately patterned metal housing.
Because of the multiple steps involved, oftentimes, the resulting prototype doesn't fit or is improperly dimensioned so that one then has to go back through the above process in order to provide a prototype model that will operate properly.
It will be appreciated that in monolithic microwave integrated circuits, a number of active elements are soldered or conductive-epoxied to the plating in order to provide for the appropriate functioning of the circuit.
While soldering per se is not a problem when the module housing is made of solid metal, it does become a problem if other housing materials are utilized.
The above process may take a matter of several weeks in order to provide a prototype which is testable and for this reason there is a need for a rapid prototyping process which reduces costs and turnaround time to hours or days.
Rather than utilizing milling techniques for hogging out a billet of metal in order to provide the housing portion of the circuit, in the subject invention, a stereolithographic rendering is made directly from the designer's drawings.
In one embodiment, the stereolithographic assembly (SLA) is provided by building up or ablating a high temperature plastic, with the high temperature plastic being required for a subsequent plating or sputtering process in which conductive metal is sputtered or plated onto the plastic to provide the conductive surface for the housing.
In one embodiment, when utilizing gold, a nickel coating is first deposited followed by the sputtering of the gold, with the gold surfaces provided with a microfine finish so that circuit losses are minimized and so as to preserve dimensional accuracy. Moreover, rather than soldering the active elements to the housing as was done in the past, conductive adhesive is utilized for electrically connecting and mounting the active elements to the sputtered conductive layer.
The housing itself is made of a material which has a temperature coefficient of expansion such that upon heating in the metallizing process the originally designed dimensions as well as edges and corners are maintained. The plastic in one embodiment is of a high temperature material such that the sputtering temperatures utilized in the sputtering process do not result in bubbling of the metallized coating when, for instance, metal flash techniques are utilized to provide the housing with the appropriate layer. In one embodiment, the layer is less than or 1/10,000th of an inch in thickness which while satisfactory for prototyping purposes is not necessarily desirable if the active components are to be soldered to the housing. Moreover, in the subject process the active components are mounted with conductive adhesive such as a silver epoxy, thus eliminating the requirement for the application of heat.
Moreover, the prototype is in general designed for low temperature applications where heat sinks need not be provided.
The result is a non-metallic structure which is much lighter than the brassboard prototyping utilized in the past, with the smoothness of the finish for the housing walls and the metallization reducing losses associated with the propagation structure of the wave energy altered by dimensional and surface factors.
Thus the key to the subject invention is a microfine surface having a roughness (surface height deviation, Ra) less than 1/1000th of an inch, along with the holding of tight tolerances of +/−3–5 mils through the utilization of high temperature plastics and currently available SLA processes. Note that Ra is specified by ASME in Standard B46.1-1995.
The above addresses the issue of the propagation structure of wave energy which requires very smooth, very light, very tight tolerance structures which when completed in a clam shell type structure by snapping together the parts results in a structure that can be physically made to operate. Thus signal reduction or loss is kept to a minimum due to the microfine surface structure which if rough can cause detuning or changes in the waveguide frequency cut-off. When the microwave module is configured as a high pass filter, the frequency cut-off is controllable through the use of the subject technique especially when, for instance, transformers are internally installed in the microwave housing.
It is thus possible with the stereolithographic rendering and coating techniques to prepare a suitable prototype in a matter of days as opposed to a matter of weeks and to be able to physically try out an idea and validate that it works in a very short period of time and at lower cost.
In summary, a system is provided for rapidly prototyping monolithic microwave integrated circuit modules to provide an experimental structure that can be physically made to operate by stereolithographically rendering an SLA part directly from the designer's drawings and by coating the part with a conductive layer, with the smoothness being better than 0.001 inch and with the dimensional accuracy being better than 3 mils for some applications. In one embodiment, the coating for the SLA model is made from either rhodium or gold having a thickness of less than 1/10,000th of an inch, with a nickel barrier being first deposited followed by the gold. The particular SLA plastic is a high temperature plastic to prevent bubbling during the metal deposition step which in one embodiment involves sputtering. The coated model has a microfinish of Ra<0.001 inch, with active devices being electrically attached to the coating through the use of conductive adhesives or eutectic solder. This provides a device in which active devices are attached to the layer without soldering and without introduction of heat which might destroy the metallized layer and alter and the critical dimensions.
These and other features of the subject invention will be better understood in connection with the Detailed Description in conjunction with the Drawings, of which:
Prior to discussing the housing and the criticality of the dimensions, it will be appreciated that microwave integrated circuits have components such as conductors, inductors, capacitors, resistors and active circuits which must be positioned relative to the housing with tolerances in the range of thousandths of an inch. What this means is that when one seeks to design a housing into which the components are to fit, there are some critical dimensions which become operative due to the microwave frequencies.
Rather than simply locating components on a circuit board in an indiscriminate fashion, one needs to pay attention to various dimensions because the wavelengths are so short. If the placement of a part or positioning of a line or trace is inconsistent with good design practice, the performance of the circuit can be degraded or can even be unacceptable.
For instance, misplacement of the components may cause detuning and may cause undesirable reflections, because the circuit size is on the same order as the wavelength of the energy it handles. Thus the placement of the parts becomes increasingly critical when one gets above 1,000 megahertz or one gigahertz.
As an example, if the input pin to a microwave integrated circuit is misaligned with the input trace on a printed circuit carried in the housing, then one can have a very high VSWR. Moreover, for microwave switches, especially diode switches, if the diodes are improperly positioned, instead of getting a switch action, one can get a splitting action or a cross-coupling.
Further, it is extremely important to have a housing with a very smooth surface to bond to so that one gets a uniform ground distribution substrate. If one does not have a uniform ground, one gets a non-uniform response from the circuit. Additionally, for the channels or walls of the structure, they must be co-planar in structure to within several thousandths of an inch.
As a further consideration, it is important with all microwave circuits to prevent unwanted modes from propagating within the housing. For energy propagating in an unintended mode, one can get resonances, reinforcements or cancellations. In summary, one has to satisfy boundary conditions that establish the dimensions of the circuit.
Referring now to
What is provided is a metallized non-conductive housing made with SLP techniques. The coated housing has electrical properties which duplicate that which would be expected from a brassboard prototype including a metallized hogged out and milled housing. Note that the active components may be a transformer, an amplifier, circuit diodes, or may be, for instance, an inductor used to give the monolithic microwave integrated circuit certain characteristics so as to provide a filter, an amplifier, a mixer, a circulator switches, or other microwave circuits.
For illustrative purposes, what is pictured in
As can be seen, an integrated circuit substrate or circuit board 32 carries traces 26, 28 and 30, with diode switch circuit 24 also carried by the integrated circuit board.
With all of the components, either passive or active, mounted on the integrated circuit board, it is very important that the circuit board fit tightly within the microwave cavity 34 formed by walls 14 and housing 12. As can be seen, the integrated circuit board fits within the cavity so snugly that, for instance, an end 33 of trace 30 is directly aligned with a pin 35, which extends into cavity 34 from the associated connector.
As mentioned hereinbefore, any misalignment either in the lateral or vertical direction of pin 35 with respect to end 33 of trace 30 can cause intolerable VSWR to occur.
Also, the placement of various active and passive elements, while being mounted on the integrated circuit board 32, still must be placed at predetermined distances from walls 14 of cavity 34. For instance, microwave integrated circuit chips 38, which carry numbers of active and passive components, must have their positions at rigidly specified distances from wall 14 of housing 12 so that the circuit will operate properly. Also the placement of capacitors 39 and inductors 40 for DC switch biasing must likewise be precise.
Thus the microwave switch of
This being the case, it is very important to not only properly locate the active and passive components on printed circuit board 32, but also one must be doubly sure that printed circuit board 32 is exactly positioned with respect to the walls of cavity 34 and fit tightly within the cavity.
Referring to
It will also be appreciated that for a switch having a multiplicity of inductors, capacitors and resistors along with active devices, the mode of propagation of the signals within the housing is critically dependent upon the accuracies to which the channelizing and other wall features can be formed.
It is obviously important that one be able to provide rapid prototyping for such microwave integrated circuits and to be able to quickly reshape the housing when design errors are uncovered.
As is usual, the top of the housing may be sealed with a top plate (not shown) which may be hermetically sealed to top lip 18 of the housing.
There are several factors which contribute to the lossy microwave circuits. The first is the smoothness of the metallization layer which is to desireably have a microfine structure having a roughness less than Ra<0.001 inch.
Were the interior surfaces of the housing to have a roughness exceeding 0.001 inch, then the wave propagation characteristics would be altered, in some cases resulting in detuning.
More importantly, if the dimensions of the housing are not exact, then displacement of the edges of wall 14 may cause detuning or may cause the high frequency cut-off of a high pass filter to change.
There are other structures within the housing which also are critical in terms of dimensional accuracy. All of these dimensions are critical as to the wave propagation within the housing and any changes in the position of these edges can result in detuning or changes in frequency response.
What will therefore be appreciated is that while it is possible to control the roughness of the interior walls of a brassboarded prototype as well as critical dimensions, it is not immediately obvious how critical surface smoothness and dimensional accuracies can be achieved when using SLA techniques.
Referring to
It will be appreciated that the high temperature plastic which is utilized to form the SLA part must not deform or otherwise structurally become degraded at these deposition temperatures.
In terms of SLA part production, various standard SLA manufacturing processes are included within the scope of this invention. It is important that one control the dimensions and smoothness of the finished part and to do this, standard SLA manufacturing techniques may be employed.
When a part having the appropriately configured housing dimensions and smoothnesses is provided, conductive metallization is applied to the part through sputtering, flash coating, or any other process which can provide a microfinish having a finish roughness less than 0.001 inch.
Note that both active and passive components may be adhesively mounted in the housing so that with the addition of a hermetically sealing plate, a finished and testable prototype results. What will be appreciated is that one goes directly from the designer's drawings to an SLA part, completely bypassing the cutting of a metal blank either by ion milling, preferential etching, grinding or other procedures.
As mentioned hereinbefore, the process of providing a brassboard type structure is on the order of two weeks time, whereas providing an SLA part and flash coating it can be accomplished in a matter of days.
Thus what is provided is a prototype which is considerably less costly to manufacture than the brassboard prototypes of the past, and can be formed in a rapid fashion to provide both testability and demonstrability for the specific monolithic microwave integrated circuit.
Having now described a few embodiments of the invention, and some modifications and variations thereto, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the foregoing is merely illustrative and not limiting, having been presented by the way of example only. Numerous modifications and other embodiments are within the scope of one of ordinary skill in the art and are contemplated as falling within the scope of the invention as limited only by the appended claims and equivalents thereto.
