Drag Movie Rises Out of the Pits
Don't tell me this blog doesn't work magic! Two months ago, I ran a post about a movie I'd seen on DVD—Gary Legault's East of the Tarpits, starring drag icon Holly Woodlawn as a chanteuse who worships Streisand—and was outraged that in all its fruity glory, the film had been rejected by every single film festival in the world. I mean it's an "intoxicatingly funny Douglas Sirk-ian campathon" and there were no takers, not even at Cannes, which will show anything, even that Norah Jones flick! Well, someone from the illustrious New York Underground Film Festival read that item and instantly booked the kitchen-sink comedy for tonight at 1030pm at Anthology Film Archives (32 Second Avenue). They're promoting it so heavily they've even gotten someone very special to introduce it onstage—the same person who said it's an "intoxicatingly etc etc." You're reading him! See you there!

With the release of Sonos Software 3.7, which brought a major update to our Controllers for Mac and PC, we also slipped in an Easter Egg feature for Android owners. Namely, you can now use Android devices on SonosNet, Sonos' wireless network for the home. The functionality provides faster access to music and offers the added benefit of having extended wireless range when accessing your home network and Internet from anywhere in the home. Translation: you'll no longer be handicapped by the limited reach of your Wi-Fi router at home.
Want to enable Android on SonosNet on your device? Here's how:
- Using your Android Controller for Sonos, navigate to Settings
- Select Advanced Settings.
- Select Connect to SonosNet.
- Press Next.
- Toggle "Allow Connection" setting to Yes.
- Select Done
Once enabled, your Android device will utilize SonosNet as the preferred wireless network in your home. (To turn the feature off, repeat the steps above.)
Note: This feature does not allow you to stream music directly from an Android device to Sonos. You will need Android 2.1 and up, Sonos 3.7 System Software and Sonos Controller for Android 3.7 in order to activate the feature.

By Amy L. Bugala, U.S. Army Garrison-Hawaii Public AffairsMarch 6, 2009
Twelve local Soldiers vie for title as 'cream of the crop'
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii - The 2009 Hawaii Culinary Team is testing its recipe for success during the 34th annual U.S. Army Culinary Arts Competition at Fort Lee, Va., Feb. 28-March 13.
The key ingredients are the 12 food service specialists selected to compete this year for Hawaii, said Sgt. 1st Class Clinton Francis, chief food operations, U.S. Army Garrison-Hawaii.
The chefs were chosen for Hawaii's team in early January at a preliminary competition that tested the Soldier-chefs' culinary knowledge and skills during an intense, three-course meal cook-off.
"Overall, our goal is to win Installation of the Year," said Francis, who will compete individually for Armed Forces Chef of the Year.
The team also has a strong chance to move from its second-place finish in the Field Cooking category last year, to first place in this year's competition, he said.
Field cooking tests a four-person team on the preparation of a plated, three-course meal for 60 people using a containerized kitchen.
"This is still a young team, due to deployment, with only three returning members," said Francis.
During training, special emphasis was placed on learning how to compete, in addition to food presentation, composition, preparation and serving, he explained.
Soldier-chefs began training even before the final team selections were made. They honed their culinary prowess under local certified executive chefs and civilian advisors such as Alan Tsuchiyama, culinary arts instructor at Kapiolani Community College, Executive Chef Ernesto Limcaco, Y. Hata Executive Chefs program, and Executive Pastry Chef Isaac Tamada.
"Leadership, beyond the question, is the strength of this team, along with their cohesiveness," said Limcaco, team coach. "It is a team to be reckoned with this year."
Sgt. Monique Sorrell, U.S. Army-Pacific Special Troops Battalion, is one of three returning members and team captain. She said the secret to winning will be "timing, confidence and great food."
Sorrell, who is competing for Individual Junior Chef of the Year, said her early culinary influences were Julia Childs and Emeril Lagasse. Ultimately, she became a military chef because "eating makes people smile," she said.
"Soldiers deserve more than just a hot meal when they finish their day, and being a chef allows me to provide just that,"she explained.
Sorrell said she spent a lot of time putting together the team's menus. Without revealing the actual menu selections, she hinted at the variety of possibilities under a New Orleans theme.
First-year competitor and Atlantic Culinary Arts Academy graduate Spc. Christopher Bates, Headquarters Support Company, 209th Aviation Support Battalion, believes the key to winning a specific event is the menu, "but it ultimately comes down to the flavor and the plating." Bates has a penchant for French cooking and hopes to become a restaurant owner someday.
Building skills for the competition, as well as for life after the military, was stressed during training by the team's coaches, including Limcaco.
"The food industry is a big industry with so many avenues and opportunities to make a decent income," Limcaco said. "Training is ongoing and it doesn't end here."
The two-week event tests the skills of approximately 200 military chefs across the Department of Defense in a variety of individual and team categories such as Chef and Junior Chef of the Year, Pastry, Field Cooking, Nutritional Hot Food Challenge, Ice Carving, Showpieces, Team Buffet, and a Culinary Knowledge Bowl.
The 2009 winners will be selected March 13.

La Grange High School is first in the Nation with Mobile Application Design Industry Course
Texas High School is first in the Nation with Mobile Application Design and Development Industry Certification Course.
The educator responsible for this early success is Tracy Knapik, who teaches CTE and has taught another course delivered by CTe Learning, 3D Video Game Development. Tracy decided to broaden her course opportunities with this new online app development course, and says "I am very grateful that our school administrators allowed us to give the students this great opportunity, and I would encourage any student who plans on working in the field to take this course. It exposes them to possible career path focuses and provides an industry certification that will look good on job and college applications."
"Mobile Applications are an incredible way to engage students. Programming is a 21st century digital literacy skill, and apps are one of the most important tools our students today engage with. So, let's show them how they can create their own app," said Donna Goodman, CTe Learning's Director of Implementation and Training. Donna continues: "the students ate this up, and it shows by how hard they worked and the incredible feedback they gave at the end of the course. Tracy is a real hero in the eyes of her students for giving them this career learning opportunity."
The certification the La Grange HS students earned is delivered by WebProfessionals.org, the premier industry association for Web, IT and Connected App developers. . WebProfessionals.org. Executive Director Bill Cullifer says: "We're excited about the job prospects for Mobile Application Developers. The WebProfessionals.org apprentice level Mobile Application Developer Certification is a fantastic start to a fruitful career in Web development."
CTe Learning's founder and co-author of the Mobile App course Steve Waddell says, "This is the first online mobile application design development industry certification course that's available anywhere." This course was developed in partnership with a number of app professionals and is designed as an introduction to mobile app design and the app industry. It requires no previous programming on the part of students. Waddell says, "Our idea is to get learners engaged with programming and being creative. This course has over 150 videos and learners will create over a dozen apps. It is a chance for high school students to be exposed to building mobile applications, to see if it's something they might be interested in as a career. The course prepares students to become savvy consumers and users of mobile technology for whatever direction their career path takes them. We even show students how they can give back and create learning apps to help students in their own school district. This is very real world."
What did some of Ms. Knapik's students say? According to Alex Barron, "Watching your app come to life… it's a great feeling just to see the end result of your work." Emilio Sanchez said, "With (mobile) technology becoming a larger and larger part of our everyday lives, the ability to create applications will become more and more important." When Trey Wolf was asked about the course he said," I enjoyed the simplicity about the course. It wasn't hard to grasp and the videos/tutorials really helped with understanding what a particular section was about. One chapter would flow into the next, which was really nice."

The Crane Wife (Paperback)
Staff Reviews
— Jackie is a prolific reader and our top Tattered Cover book blogger
This book is turning into quite a stir. I've read many of the reviews,
most raving about the wonderfulness that this book contains. It's a
story of a myth colliding with real life, it's a story of love, a story
of war, a story of the everyday, and a story of magic. It can make your
heart soar and, at the same time it's knocking it into pieces. It's
funny, violent, strange, beautiful, far-fetched and yet many people's
most fervent dream come true. You have to read this book for yourself
because I'm pretty sure its magic is going to work a little different
for each person who encounters it. Open your mind when you open this
book--I'm almost positive you'll enjoy the ride." ~Jackie
— Sonia is new to our book blog "Between the Covers" but can she ever write a good review!
The Crane Wife is great in a lot of ways. It's creative
and fun and thematically interesting and the art described inside of it
is beautiful. There's some structural experimentation, the myth being
told in a series of very short sections, and that's exciting. The
dialogue is fun and the characters are lively and true to life. Though
it strays a little into sentimentality at points, I think for the most
part it's romantic in a way that doesn't feel cloying or overdone. In
fact there are revelations in The Crane Wife about love,
with all its difficulty and sadness, that feel honest and ring true, the
kind of sentences that make you want to write them down somewhere and
revisit them later, which I very much enjoyed. If you like magical realism, or books about love, give it a shot. ~Sonia
February 2014 Indie Next List
"Based on a Japanese folk tale, The Crane Wife spins a story about two artists -- one of whom may not be fully human -- and how they achieve the act of creation and destruction, both in their art and in their personal lives and relationships. The characters are fully drawn, each with faults but very lovable in their own ways, and the act of creation is beautifully explored through children, art, and budding relationships, as well as through myths of earth-creation. This is my favorite read of the year -- and it's been a good year for fiction!"
— William D Carl, Books On The Square, Providence, RI
"A magical novel, based on a Japanese folk tale, that imagines how the life of a broken-hearted man is transformed when he rescues an injured white crane that has landed in his backyard."
George Duncan is an American living and working in London. At forty-eight, he owns a small print shop, is divorced, and lonelier than he realizes. All of the women with whom he has relationships eventually leave him for being too nice. But one night he is woken by an astonishing sound a terrific keening, which is coming from somewhere in his garden. When he investigates he finds a great white crane, a bird taller than even himself. It has been shot through the wing with an arrow. Moved more than he can say, George struggles to take out the arrow from the bird's wing, saving its life before it flies away into the night sky.
The next morning, a shaken George tries to go about his daily life, retreating to the back of his store and making cuttings from discarded books a harmless, personal hobby when through the front door of the shop a woman walks in. Her name is Kumiko, and she asks George to help her with her own artwork. George is dumbstruck by her beauty and her enigmatic nature, and begins to fall desperately in love with her. She seems to hold the potential to change his entire life, if he could only get her to reveal the secret of who she is and why she has brought her artwork to him.
Witty, magical, and romantic, "The Crane Wife" is a story of passion and sacrifice, that resonates on the level of dream and myth. It is a novel that celebrates the creative imagination, and the disruptive power of love.

The recent surge in hate group activity is a concern to many citizens and policymakers. We examine the roles of socioeconomic factors measured at the county level that are hypothesized to account for the presence of such groups, including social capital and religious affiliations.
We estimate a Poisson regression model using counts of hate groups provided by the Southern Poverty Law Center for each of the over 3,000 U.S. counties. Our regressors include a wider set of variables than has been considered in previous studies, such as Jefferson and Pryor (1999).
Our approach produces a better statistical fit than that in Jefferson and Pryor's paper, and the additional regressors contribute significantly to our understanding of hate groups.
Both social capital stocks and religious affiliation exert an independent and statistically significant influence on the number of hate groups, as does the presence of Wal-Mart stores, holding other factors constant.

When we saw Ridgid's new R1005 angle grinder, it immediately struck us as an ergonomic solution to this category's age-old problem.
The Ridgid JobMax R82234 is a 12-volt variable-speed multi-tool with interchangeable heads that share a single power base.
Ridgid plumbing tools have been a mainstay in the industry for decades, and the company's newest offerings show us what plumbers have been missing until now.
Ridgid's R92234 combo kit comes with a subcompact drill/driver and a new multi-attachment tool called the JobMax.
With the economy poised for a comeback in 2010, toolmakers are just now rolling out their latest innovations to meet the anticipated demand. Every year at this time, the
Ergonomic Angle Grinder / Lightweight Corded Circ Saw
The PressSnap cutting tool for no-hub and service-weight cast-iron pipe attaches to Ridgid's corded and cordless electro-hydraulic press tools.
The R1005 4-1/2-inch Angle Grinder from Ridgid combines a unique ergonomic grip, light weight, and a compact design to improve user control while reducing fatigue.
Cutting tubing inside a wall or other tight spot usually requires a midget cutter and nimble fingers, but Ridgid's new 2-in-1 Close Quarters Autofeed tubing cutter takes the fingers out of the equation.
We lined up seven wet saws representing six brands and tested them mostly on tough porcelain tiles, making cuts up to 7/8 inch thick. We used identical, high-quality porcelain blades to take blade performance out of the equation and focused on cut quality and accuracy, the precision of the moving...

Braehead Foods owner Craig Stevenson had hit out at a lack of communication from Kilmarnock chairman Michael Johnston over a bill of about £16,000 and threatened to send sheriff officers to Rugby Park with the petition.
But Stevenson announced he had come to an agreement with the club, who are close to £10million in debt, over the bill for their Park Hotel.
In a statement, Stevenson said: "I can confirm that Michael Johnston from Kilmarnock FC has now been in contact with debt recovery lawyers at MacRoberts in response to the winding-up demand.
"We have accepted an immediate payment schedule.
"We are happy Michael Johnston has communicated with us and that payment issues have been resolved."
No one at Kilmarnock was available for contact but Johnston had played down the issue on Saturday.
Johnston, who hosts the club's AGM on Thursday, claimed the bulk of the debt was not due until the end of the month and that there was no threat of a winding-up order.
He added: "The creditor is obviously looking to get some priority for payment for himself and it's unfortunate that he has decided to take it into the public domain."

Whiteface Landing.
Whiteface Brook about 1/8 mile before the slide.
Very similar to Teflon in this area.
Moose and McKenzie.
Nice overlaps in the slab come into play partway up as does a view of the arete.
My favourite part of the slide with Lake Placid in the background.
Rounded ledges give way to more acute angles.
A few hundred vertical feet from the top...yes, it looks closer.
Rubble & headwall on arete.
Looking to the right.
Looking to the left, the walkway.
Hurricane Sandy's weather played a small part as it came toward the region.

A 0.20 F capacitor is desired.What area must the plates have if they are to be separated by a2.2 mm air gap?
I know the steps to do this problem, because i used yourwebsite, the name of the author is Giancoli, and it's 6th edition,chapter 17 problem 35 and it shows me the steps, the answer saysthat to find the area i need to multiply the capacitance with thedistance divided by permittivity of free space and the answer saysit's 0.05x10^7 m2. Then the area is55x10^7 m2., but when icalculate it with my calculated it doesn't give me that answer, itgives me 4.971751442*10^-17. What do i have to do so i can get theanswer you guys show in homework solution?

WASHINGTON (AP) - Instead of exchanging gifts this Christmas, Casting Crowns lead singer Mark Hall says his family is sending
blankets to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
Hall says it's a way to teach his children that Christmas is more about giving than receiving.
Hall, who's also a youth pastor, adds that his family plans to take part in a church mission trip to the South Dakota reservation next Spring.
It will be a return trip, since Casting Crowns has performed at Pine Ridge to help raise money for a children's center on the reservation.
Hall says he's been to India and Africa, but was shocked to see that kind of poverty in America.

"With the current trend for modern classical/electronic records there is no shortage of cinematic and emotional music - we have Max Richter, Ryan Teague and Sylvain Chauveau holding aloft the torch, but what Haines has produced is somehow more naïve, warmer and in parts even more visual. As the tracks build and decompose effortlessly around cello, violin, voice, and subtle electronics it's hard to hold onto the thought that this is the work of a musician at the begining of his creative life. You won't find a more perfect album to usher in the snow this winter" - Boomkat
"Some people claim that making music from loops and effect pedals is too easy. Alexander Thomas counters this by using only Theremin for his sound sources, which is one of the hardest instruments to play well (if a guitar with no frets sounds difficult, imagine one with no neck or strings either, and that's how awkward a Theremin is to control). Quickly bypassing the b-movie clichés of the instrument, Thomas builds up a sensual series of sonic constructions, that are alternately scouring and beautiful." - Nightshift Music, Oxford
Plus a very special improv string collaboration between CHIPPER and MAX MILTON, two of Bristol's most prolific musicians, who between them have performed and worked with artists including SJ Esau, Crippled Black Phoenix, Oxbow Duo, Bronnt Industries Kapital and North Sea Navigator.

Incognito: 'Ray Lewis hit me the hardest;' tells why he loves Rex [1:54 AM]

Bills player campaigns for Fred Jackson's return [1:53 AM]
WKBW-TV reports: 'The Bills starting safety Aaron Williams and Jackson were extremely close before the runner was released ahead of the 2015 season. As of now, there isn't any reported interest from the Bills just yet.'
Bills' Incognito posts video in response to Bill Polian's criticisms [1:52 AM]
WKBW-TV reports: '"Aging and Unathletic"'
Who are the Bills breakout candidates? [1:51 AM]
WKBW-TV reports: 'While there are many worthy candidates, based on the current circumstances, these are the five players I've got my eye on to become "breakout" players in 2016.'
3 reasons Ronald Darby will excel in 2016 [1:50 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"I've seen a lot my first year. I'm more comfortable with recognizing formations and communication with vets and other guys on the field," Darby said. "My second year being in the same defense will help me a lot."'
Bills plan safety net for Aaron Williams [1:59 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Even though the delicate procedure was a success and Williams has been cleared to return, he's cautiously admitted that he won't be 100 percent sure his neck will respond favorably to the physical demands of football until the pads come on and he takes his first hit.'
James Wilder Jr. hopes to make a name for himself in the Bills' backfield [1:58 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'He's not merely the son of James Wilder, a NFL great who rushed for more than 6,000 yards and 37 touchdowns. He's not the practice-squad scrub in a state of depression. No, he's an uber-confident, 6-foot-2, 228-pounder rocking an upside down, backward Bills visor and camouflaged shorts. He's the proud father now sprinting across this field with his daughter's kite, laughing with each stride. He's the former No. 1 prospect in the country who really doesn't care that his backfield in Buffalo is overcrowded.'
Shaq Lawson responds to speculation on how much of his rookie season he could miss [1:57 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'At least so far, the network has a pretty good track record of reporting on Lawson's injury. When he was drafted, ESPN's Adam Schefter tweeted the following...'.
Get to know the Bills' opponents: Offseason recap of the Miami Dolphins [1:56 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Can Gase work his magic with Tannehill? Entering the fifth season of his career, the pressure will be on Miami's quarterback to deliver a playoff team. The 38-year-old Gase has gotten a lot of credit for his work with Tim Tebow, Peyton Manning and Jay Cutler the past five years. Tannehill has started all 64 games in his career, has more than 15,000 passing yards and 92 total touchdowns against 68 turnovers. But he's never led the Dolphins to a record better than .500.'
Enemkpali eager to start training camp [1:55 AM]
WGR-AM reports: '"I want to go back to camp and be in shape," Enemkpali said on the John Murphy Show on Wednesday night. "I just want to let my teammates know that we're here to win a championship. I want to go out and work everyday and handle myself like a true professional on and off the field. I just want to take my preparation, eating habits, and everything to the next level each year. You know, you want to do that."'
How much time will Shaq Lawson miss? [1:54 AM]
WGR-AM reports: 'However, a league source familiar with Lawson's rehab told me that although there is no specific timetable for the first-round pick's return as of right now, they are clearly not expecting him to miss that much time, and even expressed surprise at Riddick's comments.'
Who backs up McCoy the first 4 weeks for the Bills? [1:53 AM]
WKBW-TV reports: 'While there are some reports that the Bills are interested in signing the 31-year-old Reggie Bush to the roster, fans should look no further than Mike Gillislee in the first four games. The mid-season pickup in 2015, Gillislee performed admirably for the team when pressed into the duties of the backup running back late in the year.'
Will there be a sack resurgence? [1:52 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"I think a lot now is we're going to try to dictate what an offense does," said Manny Lawson, who is lining up at outside linebacker. "Instead of trying to mold our defense around the opposing offense we're going to play our style of defense. We're going to make the opponent game plan to stop our attack. You're going to have to stop our attack to run or pass the ball."'
Which rookie will make the most immediate impact? [1:51 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'This offseason, the Bills filled up the roster with fresh faces. New talent on the field will contribute to the team's efforts to come out on top this year. While the defense is focusing on turning a complete 180, the offense wants to piggyback off of the same success they achieved last year as the No. 1 rushing team in the league. Having the rookies on their side will give the Bills the push they need to hopefully get over the playoff hump this season. But who will play the biggest roles in that effort?'
Sizing up the Buffalo Bills, the Browns' Week 15 foe [1:50 AM]
ClevelandBrowns.com reports: 'The defense could potentially start as many three rookies next season and that could spell growing pains for the Bills if that's indeed the case. It's probably also worth watching how Taylor grows in his second season as the man in Buffalo and whether or not opposing defenses figure out a blueprint to slow down the dual-threat quarterback.'
Sammy Watkins says he's 'right where I need to be' as training camp approaches [1:59 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"Feeling good, healthy, nothing's bothering me. Just really prepared for whatever they do. I don't know what the situation is, but if they throw me out there, I just want to be prepared if they do. That's all I can do is prepare for it."'
Signing of Bush would add another link of '06 draft [1:58 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'If they sign Bush, the Bills will have employed the top three picks of the 2006 draft, and five of the top 10. Mario Williams was the top pick in the '06 draft. Bush was second. Vince Young, who competed for the Bills' backup quarterback job in 2012 but was cut late in camp, was No. 3 overall.'
Adding Boldin would add veteran presence to Bills [1:57 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'If you want to add a veteran, let's talk about receiver Anquan Boldin. He'll be 36 in October. He's probably waiting for what he feels is the ideal situation. It might not be Buffalo. But Boldin was superb under Greg Roman with the Niners in 2013 and 2014. He had 69 catches last season.'
Tickets for Bills night practices available Wednesday [1:56 AM]
Buffalo News reports: ' The limit is four per person.'
Get to know the Bills' opponents: Offseason recap of the San Francisco 49ers [1:55 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'New coach Jim Tomsula was an embarrassment from the beginning, the 49ers watched a seemingly endless parade of talented players walk out the door and they plummeted to a 5-11 record.'
Jim Kelly's message: Cherish every day [1:54 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: '"The more I speak and travel, I realize I don't have it that bad. There are so many people that have it so much worse than I do," said the Pro Football Hall of Famer. "I just thank the good Lord for each and every day I have, and a lot of you guys do know me, I'm going to have fun. I might be going through a little pain, but who doesn't? That's all part of it. I played football."'
Here's where to get free Bills night practice tickets [1:53 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'Tickets (limit four per person) for all five of the practices will be made available at 9 a.m. Wednesday at the following Rochester-area locations...'.

Rochester D&C reports: 'Sundae at the Ralph has vanilla ice cream with hot fudge swirls along with the sprinkles and peanut butter. Its name pays homage to Ralph Wilson Stadium, home of the NFL franchise.'
Where, how to get tickets to night practices [1:51 AM]
Syracuse Post Standard reports: 'The tickets, which are free, will be available on Wednesday, July 20 at 9 a.m.. There is a limit of four tickets per person.'
3 big questions surrounding tight ends [1:50 AM]
Syracuse Post Standard reports: 'At this point, it's fair to wonder if the stat line Clay posted in 2015 is the indication of the type of player he is. He's an above-average blocker for the tight end position and a capable receiver who will never post 1,000 yards in a season or double-digit touchdowns. To be fair, Clay isn't featured in this offense the way other tight ends are in the NFL. He plays in a run-first offense and competes with Sammy Watkins for targets. Meanwhile, quarterback Tyrod Taylor didn't attack the middle of the field too often in his first year under center.'
Bills' Watkins unsure when he'll return to field [1:49 AM]
The Sports Xchange reports: '"I don't know how much I'm gonna be doing or when I'm gonna be on the field, but I'm definitely going to be active and engaged," Watkins said at his football camp Tuesday, via ESPN. "I don't know what the schedule is like with me being on the field competing-wise, but I'm right where I need to be at - feeling good, healthy. Nothing is bothering me. Just really prepare for whatever they do.'
Rex's Bills must make statement on the field [1:48 AM]
The Sports Xchange reports: 'Here is a closer look at the newcomers and key players and how they should factor into the 2016 Bills team...'.
Why Buffalo Bills coach Rex Ryan deserves to be on the hot seat in 2016 [1:47 AM]
Fox Sports reports: 'Ryan came to Buffalo promising to bring the franchise back to the playoffs. His sample size with the Bills is small, but his track record of late hasn't been great, even outside Buffalo. He hasn't made the playoffs since 2010 with the Jets and has zero winning seasons in the last five seasons. And as a head coach, he's never won a division title. Not once.'
Sammy: 'Right where I need to be,' but WR still unsure of when he'll return [1:46 AM]
WGR-AM reports: 'Speaking at his annual football camp, Watkins said that even though he doesn't know how much actual on-field work he will do during training camp, he is "feeling great" and "right where I need to be." '
With Bills RB situation in flux, Wilder says he "has to take advantage" [1:45 AM]
WGR-AM reports: '"I am aware of the position that I'm in now," he said. "It gives me a shot to be able show a little more, maybe in preseason. Gives me that extra boost to make that 53 (man roster). It's just a good opportunity for me. We're not fortunate to lose both guys. It's a bad thing. But it's an opportunity for me and something I have to take advantage of."'

Australia's Perdaman Chemicals and Fertilisers sought to widen its legal battle against Lanco Infratech over a stalled coal-to-urea project by launching a A$3.5 billion damage claim against ICICI Bank, the lender to Lanco's Griffin Coal unit.
Perdaman filed its application in federal court in Perth, Australia, on January 2, the company said in an email on Thursday.
Lanco called Perdaman's move a "desperate attempt" and said ICICI Bank had no contractual relationship with the Australian company. It said the case has not yet been admitted by the court.
Perdaman filed a lawsuit against Lanco in 2011 in the Supreme Court of Western Australia seeking compensation of A$3.5 billion for breach of a coal supply agreement. Lanco termed Perdaman's claims baseless and said in its statement on Thursday that it expected the case to be decided in its favour shortly.
Shares of ICICI, India's No.2 lender, fell as much as 1.63 percent in early trade in a flat Mumbai market. They pared losses to trade down 0.8 percent, at 1,171 rupees at 8:13 GMT.
A Bank of America-Merrill Lynch analyst said in a note to clients he did not expect the lawsuit to have "any material impact" on ICICI shares.
ICICI officials declined to comment.
Lanco Infratech acquired Griffin Coal Mining Co in 2011.

Piano Concerto Op. 33

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent performances of little-known works
Feb. 17 2004
This review is from:
Piano Concerto Op. 33 (Audio CD)
Many will be surprised to learn that Dvorak has actually written a piano concerto. Listening to it, however, will bring them back to familiar territory: all of his symphonic works' chief characteristics are present here, including deceptively simple themes, a constant battle between major and minor tones, and a preference for expressiveness over pure virtuosity. In other words, it is everything the notion of a Dvorak piano concerto promises to be, and the elaborate first movement (lasting about 20 minutes) might be the most impressive. Comparisons with Brahms have been suggested; among Dvorak's other contemporaries, I would personally mention the concertos of Saint-Saens and Grieg as interesting connections, although the piece is Dvorak's alone. Completing this recording is The Water Goblin, the first of five symphonic poems Dvorak composed in 1896-1897; listeners with a taste for his beautiful orchestral Legends (op. 59) will certainly appreciate this late, evocative work. The excellent performances make this release even more of a success.

One of Welles' richest and most underrated fables
Jan. 13 2004
This review is from:
Confidential Report:a.K.a. Mr. (VHS Tape)
We will probably never know exactly what Orson Welles envisioned Mr. Arkadin to be, but even in its present state, it remains a commandable achievement and one of his most underrated films. His storytelling mastery is evident throughout, both in the sound and images. As in Citizen Kane, the main character's life is gradually explored, but this time it's the subject of the inquiry who started it himself; this brings the film in the territory of initiations and psychoanalysis. Seemingly to uncover his own past, Arkadin sends low-profile hood Guy Van Stratten in a complex initiatic quest, one in which the initiated is mostly lured by money and luxury. Like Kane, Arkadin takes shape mainly via other people's testimonies, and he undergoes his own type of initiation: for the very first time, he is stripped of the masks and disguises he always relied on, and he is scared at the perspective of his private self (his Jungian 'number 2' personality) being discovered by the only person he cares for. Fables are scattered throughout the film, and the movie itself is such a tale, Arkadin acting as its grand, imposing Ogre, a character possessing strange and far-reaching powers. His overbearing abilities are illustrated in various ways, notably through the film's rapidly changing settings (a device also used in The Trial). The work's depth can also be measured by this consideration: Mr. Arkadin's universe is a huge maze in which Arkadin himself is Minos, Dedalus and the Minotaur all at once. This dense, rich and dreamlike film has never really received its due.

A masterpiece like no other
Jan. 13 2004
This review is from:
Fires (Paperback)
Amazingly enough, this 1986 work was Lorenzo Mattotti's very first foray into the medium; it resulted in a masterpiece of exceptional richness. The English version seems hard to find, but all efforts are justified by the book's extreme quality. I personally own the 1997 French edition, whose cover is nothing short of extraordinary. 'Fires' is the densely symbolic tale of a group of officers venturing near an island deemed dangerous because of strange past events; one of these men is about to go through a life-changing experience. Everything about Lieutenant Absinthe, the main character, is unforgettable, from his angular visual style to his constantly evolving and unstable situation. Mattotti shows with high acuteness the emotion felt by someone standing on the brink of the unkown, the unspeakable. 'Fires' is clearly an initiatic story: on the first page, Absinthe says that both his body and soul are about to undergo a transformation, and the book's last page, furthering our knowledge of the character and adding yet another level to the story, gives us a few more clues towards the work's mystical, alchemical angle (among other things, Absinthe initially feels entrapped by the boat's steel). The use of fire is often allegorical, along with recurring death-resurrection themes. Mattotti's enigmatic, abstract storytelling asks a lot from the reader; this is one of those works that can't be truly described, but only experienced. Very highly recommended.
Batman: The Killing Joke

Dec 26 2003
This review is from:
Batman: The Killing Joke (Paperback)
Batman's high-profile villains are actually Asylum inmates, and this should place them apart from most of comics' other foes; still, not all of those who wrote these characters have made the most out of this aspect. Alan Moore understood this: his Joker carries as much of a burden as does Bruce Wayne, even though both chose opposite ways to deal with the anger that resulted from it. But Moore plays down this opposition throughout the work, and not only in the conclusion. This is not a Batman readers are accustomed to, but there are two seemingly unrelated advantages to this: on one hand, Moore states explicitely many details that were mainly hinted at previously (especially concerning Batman's nature and motivations), so it's not as if he ignored what had been done before; on the other, this Batman is strange, peculiar enough to underline the fact that this book is the work of an outsider (or two, also counting Brian Bolland), of someone who has his own take on the eeriness of the characters and their milieu. Bolland's great work is in evidence everywhere, notably in the first few wordless pages featuring very evocative visual narration; and it's easy to understand why colorist John Higgins' name was included on the cover. In short, this is a Batman-Joker confrontation that feels fresh, inspired, dynamic and poetic at the same time.

An atmospheric and evocative book
Dec 22 2003
This review is from:
Saga of the Swamp Thing Book One (Paperback)
Despite representing only a sixth of Alan Moore's famous run (#21-27), this trade paperback offers two complete story arcs and can be seen as a self-contained work. The first four issues feature a new look at Swamp Thing's nature through an autopsy done by the Floronic Man, Jason Woodrue, and the far-reaching consequences of the latter's discovery; issues 25-27 resurrect Jack Kirby's Demon in an intense exploration of fear. The 'new origin', far from nullyfying all that went on before, enables the reader to experience Swamp Thing and his world differently. Whereas Len Wein and Berni Wrightson's work on the character - collected in the excellent 'Dark Genesis' trade paperback - could be read as a reflection on the link between body and soul, Alec Holland being fully conscious but trapped in a bodily prison, Moore's rather deals with the link between two realms, human and vegetal. It thus keeps the tension and duality of the former but sends it in a personal and intriguing direction. These stories are not only conceptually ravishing, but also visually: ingenious and beautiful page constructions are far too numerous to mention, from the brilliant title pages to the dreams scattered throughout the work. From the first page to the last, this is a very atmospheric and evocative book.

Dec 22 2003
This review is from:
Memoirs Found in a Bathtub (Paperback)
These memoirs are presented in the foreword as the last remnant of a dead civilization, and its twisted hierarchical organization and jargon justify the archaeologist of the future in thinking that this is the artifact of a bizarre religion. As such, it is a religion that radically cut itself from transcendence: its Temple is a shadowy museum of illusions and deceptions, with no hope whatsoever of receiving the light of order; pseudo-heresies are created by their unknowing priests, revelations are elaborated at will only to be contradicted soon after. This is the world that the book's nameless hero must brave - he experiences several 'signification crisises', going back-and-forth between allegory as a universal rule and a complete negation of sense. The Building in which all the events take place is a sort of fiction-generating machine (like Lem's book itself), perpetually spinning tales, intrigues and conflicts. What makes the book powerful is that Lem equates his reader with the main character, both sharing an elusive mission; the work starts smoothly, until reader and agent are completely immersed in this world of mirrors, crypted informations and thwarted enigmas. The desire to understand remains, but there is nothing to understand as the personal quest (the agent's and the reader's) becomes more and more convoluted and drowned into a complex string of half-truths. A maze of a novel.
The Greeks and the Irrational

Stimulating, despite a questionable agenda
Dec 13 2003
This review is from:
The Greeks and the Irrational (Paperback)
It is not uncommon for major figures of Ancient Greek thought to be deemed 'rationalists', a word often tainted by modern science in its implications. E.R. Dodds' book is fairly difficult to gauge on this. On one hand, it reconsiders the 'rationalist overview' by tracing back various guises of irrationalism that permeated Greek culture - a belief in daimons, the conception of a useful mania, theurgy, astrology, mystery cults. Writing about these elements, Dodds surveys a wide variety of authors and themes and provides a lively compendium. On the other hand, his methodology has shortcomings. The reader soon realizes that the ambivalence of Greek thought between the power of reason and its limitations is not a virtue according to Dodds. This is a legitimate point of view, but it has important consequences on the book's agenda. It is unabashedly teleological: irruptions of irrationalism are usually seen as 'symptoms', as setbacks from Dodds' ideal of positivistic rationalism. This is emphasized by his characterization of 5th century BC as Greece's Aufklarung. The chapter on theurgy is equally representative: while it is well-researched and in-depth, it is also filled with simplifications (the equation 'theurgy = magic', frequent in 1950s and 1960s scolarship, is stated repeatedly) and shows little sympathy for either theurgy or its theorists; this section would color many subsequent studies on the spirituality of late Neoplatonism, until scholars such as H.-D. Saffrey (a pupil of Dodds) favored an approach which was more open-minded and receptive. In spite of this, Dodds' book remains extremely stimulating and should be read by all those who are fascinated by the blurred line between reason and what is out of its reach; but it should not be considered as the last word on its objects of study.

Massive and hard to forget
Dec 12 2003
This review is from:
Watchmen (Paperback)
This book's towering reputation is perhaps a bit overdone, and as a whole it is not Alan Moore's most satisfying work, but its richness can't be denied: multiple readings reveal details easily missed at first. At the same time, though, such further readings do emphasize a few limitations, namely a very even tone (despite the wide array of approaches used, both in the text itself and at the end of each chapter), a tendency to overstress some points (which dilutes the sheer power of certain events) and a somewhat unbalanced structure that hinders the last tier. Its novelty lies more in its massive stature than in its themes: a world has been created in Watchmen's pages, with elaborate codes that remain true from the beginning to the conclusion. There's a very high sense of cohesion, not only in the story but also between the writing and the art, to the point where it becomes difficult to isolate one from the other as the project's driving force - Watchmen is as much Gibbons' book as it is Moore's. In the end, both its weaknesses and numerous strenghts have a lot to do with the series' important lenght. More than read or watch this book, one experiences it. And whatever its shortcomings may be, that experience (and the characters depicted - especially Dr. Manhattan, whose 'solo issues', #3-4, are the most intriguing) can't be forgotten.

The transformation of a superhero
Dec 7 2003
This review is from:
Animal Man (Paperback)
These first nine issues of the Animal Man ongoing series are a stellar example of a minor character becoming much more through the vision of an imaginative and challenging creator. The art is solid, clear throughout, but this is clearly Grant Morrison's book - his stories' complex structure and their multiple levels of interpretation usually dictate the tone of the illustrations, which are mostly functional. This volume showcases variety and evolution: a fairly straightforward but memorable initial arc (#1-4) is followed by a symbolic tale (#5), while the last four issues tackle, among other things, an invasion and a villain's autobiography; despite this variety, every issue has important consequences on what follows. Reading the last few pages of this volume, one does not get a true sense of closure, and some confusion arises from the later issues (crossovers are mainly to blame - Morrison's introductory notes do explain some of the difficulties) - to get the most out of these stories, it's necessary to also buy the two following trade paperbacks. The merging of worlds, which was to become the series' trademark, is only beginning here; it's rarely subtle, but often provocative.

A pure soul seeking its true home
Dec 7 2003
This review is from:
Essential Silver Surfer Volume 1 TPB (Paperback)
Unlike the work of people such as Frank Miller or Alan Moore, comics like these are seldom mentioned by those who wish to stress the medium's full potential; still, the depth of this volume's stories is underrated. The Silver Surfer is a very rich character whose origin and situation can be read in a myriad of ways, notably because Lee and Buscema use central ideas of ancient philosophy and religion (mainly Gnosticism and Neoplatonism). As a whole, the series can be read as the adventures of a soul seeking its true home. This home is not Zenn-la (where the Surfer's beloved Shalla-Bal lives): as the first issue makes clear, life on that planet didn't truly satisfy him in the first place. When Galactus threatens his people, the Surfer sacrifices himself and is stripped of his body, gaining instead an ethereal form. Despite his new master's dubious plans, he is initially enthusiastic about this sudden transformation - on Zenn-la, he had been yearning for transcendence while all of his compatriots wallowed in excesses of all kinds. Once he rebels against Galactus, he is turned into Earth's daemon (protector), roaming around without much freedom. This pure soul is trapped in a prison from which it tries to break free throughout the book's stories. What gives him hope in spite of his deceptions, much like Plotinus and the other Neoplatonists and Gnostics, is the conscience he has ('I serve none but the conscience within my breast!', #4). This conscience never departs him, even as he faces Evil in its most horrific guises; among other opponents, it enables him to defeat an evil clone (#7) - their physical form was identical, but their souls weren't. (It is symbolic that when the Surfer seems the closest to change his ethics - the last page of #18 - the series is coming to an end.) The Surfer's nostalgia for his true home is sublimely rendered by Buscema's powerful, poignant illustrations, especially when they're inked by Joe Sinnott (witness pages 1, 6, 17, 31 and 38 of the first issue). This volume is both inspired and inspiring, and should not be missed.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Blocked Eustachian Tubes
Topic Overview
What are the eustachian tubes, and how do they get blocked?
The eustachian (say "you-STAY-shee-un") tubes connect the middle ears to the back of the throat. The tubes help the ears drain fluid. They also keep air pressure in the ears at the right level.
When you swallow or yawn, the tubes open briefly to let air in to make the pressure in the middle ears equal to the pressure outside of the ears. Sometimes fluid or negative pressure gets stuck in the middle ear. The pressure outside the ear gets too high. This causes ear pain and sometimes trouble hearing.
See a picture of the eustachian tube .
What causes blocked eustachian tubes?
Swelling from a cold, allergies, or a sinus infection can keep the eustachian tubes from opening. This leads to pressure changes. Fluid may collect in the middle ear. The pressure and fluid can cause pain. You also can have ear pain from changes in pressure while you are flying in an airplane, driving up or down mountains, or scuba diving. Fluid in the ear can lead to an infection (acute otitis media). Young children have a high risk of ear infections, because their eustachian tubes are shorter and more easily blocked than the tubes in older children and adults.
What are the symptoms?
Blocked eustachian tubes can cause several symptoms, including:
- Ears that hurt and feel full.
- Ringing or popping noises in your ears.
- Hearing problems.
- Feeling a little dizzy.
How are blocked tubes diagnosed?
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms. He or she will look in your ears. The doctor also may check how well you hear.
How are they treated?
Blocked eustachian tubes often get better on their own. You may be able to open the blocked tubes with a simple exercise. Close your mouth, hold your nose, and gently blow as if you are blowing your nose. Yawning and chewing gum also may help. You may hear or feel a "pop" when the tubes open to make the pressure equal between the inside and outside of your ears.

Creamy Cauliflower Soup
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 20 mins
That's why I love soup. You can do almost anything with them. If you want this soup heartier, set aside some chunked, cooked veggies. Then add them back to the pot with the pureed veggies.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 cups water, plus
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 4 cups cauliflower, chopped
- 2 cups sliced carrots
- 1⁄2 cup chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- salt
- white pepper
- In a 5-quart saucepan, add all ingredients except salt and white pepper.
- Cover and simmer until vegetables are tender (about 20 minutes).
- Strain off and reserve most of the liquid.
- Place vegetables in a food processor and puree.
- Add pureed vegetables and reserved liquid back into the pot, add salt and white pepper, and reheat.
Most Helpful
It was good. The only thing I did differently was added 4 celery sticks. I didn't use all the liquid as I wanted a thicker soup. Sort of tasted like potato soup.
I thought this was ok. Not bad...
This was a great soup for a cold day. I was so happy to see that it didn't need any extra's (cheese-creams-flour) of any sort to thicken this soup. I most always follow a recipe, but with this one I used chicken broth, and added to bay leaf to the mix while boiling, and removed before puree it.
