The Bay Ridge hills are alive with the sound of movies!
The neighborhood will play host to not one but two free, outdoors screenings of beloved family-friendly films on Friday — and that is just the start of the entertainment extravaganza the Ridge has in store this weekend.
Before the films start, get in some pre-movie munchies and music on Third Avenue. The Third Avenue Summer Stroll is back after its hiatus last week, and this time shops and restaurants will overtake the avenue from 80th to 90th streets. There are also two top local acts to catch curb-side once the stroll kicks off at 6 pm. First, hit Third Ave. and 87th Street, where acoustic duo Frankie Marra and Tony Monier will make you forget your workweek troubles. Then take a stroll up the block to catch Tony Travis tickle the ivory at Third Avenue and 88th Street.
Once you have had your fill — it is show time! Over at Owl's Head Park (68th Street and Colonial Road), catch a screening of "Despicable Me 2," the star-studded computer-animated kids' flick about a super-villain with a heart of gold, at 8 pm. Or head to Narrows Botanical Garden (Shore Road and 71st Street), which is playing DreamWorks' "The Croods" — another computer-animated joint about a family of prehistoric cavemen looking for a home. The projector fires up at sundown.
After such a wholesome Friday night, get ready to let loose on Saturday night! At 9 pm, relive the golden years of rock and R&B with Cabaret Trio at Schnitzel Haus (7319 Fifth Ave. between 73rd and 74th streets) at 9 pm. Where else can you hear Hank Williams, Sam Cooke, and Van Morrison in the same place? Then after you've brushed up on your rock history, head to No Quarter Tavern (8015 Fifth Ave. between 80th and 81st streets), where Rock Farm will be sowing and reaping contemporary rock covers and originals starting at 10 pm.
And the Ridge keeps rocking Sunday, when classic rock cover band Whippoorwill appears at Hunter's Steak & Ale House (9404 Fourth Ave. at 94th Street) at 5 pm.
Then catch a little Saturday Night Fever — on a Tuesday! State Sen. Marty Golden's Concerts in the Park series will bring the polyester-clad poly-rhythms of Disco Unlimited to Shore Road Park (Shore Road at 79th Street) at 7 pm.

British society has moved a long way since Henry VIII's marital problems provoked the division from Rome, and the British sovereign became head of the Church of England. The identification of Church with State has gradually loosened, and as Britain has evolved into the social democracy of today, the power of the Church of England to monopolise belief - and enforce it by law - has ended. Britain has become a largely secular society in which different religious minorities make varying demands.
While this is relatively new for us it has long been a fact of life in India, which set itself up at Independence as a nation in which different religions could co-exist under the umbrella of a secular state. It rejected the option of the theocratic state: India's constitution, drafted by Dr Ambedkar, the 'Untouchable' turned Buddhist, laid down 'a sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic' with 'liberty of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship'. So how do they handle their variety of beliefs? Does the Indian experience have anything to teach us?
India of course, has an immense stake in creating a state which can achieve unity in diversity. It is like the whole of Europe - with all its differences of language and culture - become one country. The difficulties of division that arise are almost invariably political in origin, but they often split on religious fault-lines. Hindus and Muslims lived together in the Punjab quite amicably until Partition: it was a political issue that provoked the bloodshed at Independence.
So part of the thrust behind Indian education is to produce a spirit of unity amongst its variety of peoples. All religions are free to open their own schools, though there is an element of government intervention to ensure fair play for the disadvantaged 'scheduled classes'. A Christian Medical College will have the majority of its candidates drawn from church nominees, but there will also be 'open candidates' resulting from government decree.
A friend recalls an upbringing in Kerala that was both enriching and harmonious. In her 'Hindu Mission' school the day would begin with an assembly at which hymns in Sanskrit and the local dialect would be sung. There would also be a song of national unity in the national language, Hindi. At the end of the day, before dispersal, the children would all sing the national anthem, which again stressed the unity of the peoples of India - the 'land of temples and of mosques'.
What might seem extraordinary to us was that children from different religious backgrounds also attended and joined in the hymns, and throughout the year the school celebrated the festival days of each major religion - Sikh, Jain, Muslim, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu. So schoolchildren are brought up in a more syncretist tradition than here - which also manifests itself in adult attitudes. Many people think nothing of dropping into a shrine of a different religion to pay their respects, while a typical teashop in Madras will display a variety of religious icons: Gandhi, Jesus, and Shiva. They were not competitors. They complemented each other.
One Christmas I spent in India the President, a Hindu, visited a church in Delhi to pay his respects, and commented on 'the compassion of Jesus'; on Hindu festival days Hindus will often bring presents of sweets or other delicacies to a neighbour of a different faith. This admirable tolerance still exists despite the rise of fundamentalism since the early 1980s; it is tested but it survives.
So the principles behind education in India seem to be, first, to recognise and encourage national aspirations and, secondly, to encourage a spirit of unity amongst different faiths and peoples. What should our principles be?
To arrive at a society where: 'the Mohametan, the Jew, the Christian, the Deist and the atheist will live together in one community, equally sharing the benefits which arise from its association, and united in the bonds of charity and brotherly love'.
To ensure that there is equality of treatment for all religions. 'The government of a country ought to be perfectly indifferent to every opinion. Religious differences, the bloodiest and most rancorous of all, spring from partiality.'
Such clear principles, put forward by the poet Shelley in the early 19th century, and anticipating JS Mill, are still useful despite the passage of time.
There are the obvious dangers: religions have a negative as well as a positive side, and children can become pawns in the political/
religious machinations of others.
There are difficult puzzles to solve, such as the clash of principle on the status of women, which arise when some Islamic groups claim the right to give Muslim girls an education which many would regard as a preparation for a lifetime of subservience. Are their claims that this is validated by their culture genuine, or is this just another patriarchy with authoritarian designs, which has to be resisted in the name of human potential?
When Islamic and Western cultures clash it may be helpful to look to times when Muslim and European societies lived together relatively tolerantly and fruitfully, as in Cordoba during the period of Moorish rule in Spain.
Then there is the fundamental question - is it right for any child to be brought up in any single system of belief before his or her mind has developed to be able to make a judgement on what is being offered? Why should not specific religious teaching be replaced, as often happens in India, by the teaching of 'moral science' - a neutral ethical learning programme which does not tread on anyone's toes?
All in all the whole issue needs to be addressed with a far greater sensitivity than John Patten and his advisers have displayed so far. To lay down a blanket injunction is not exactly helpful; it overrides local needs and perceptions.
And on the journey towards accommodating the different faiths in our society it will be helpful to remember India's syncretist spirit - perhaps even as a goal to aim for. It might seem odd to have to campaign for something as intangible as that, but it may be exactly what we need.

In another installment of the continuing saga surrounding the shuttering of the Silk Road online marketplace and arrest of its alleged creator and operator, Ross William Ulbricht (Ulbricht), a Southern District of New York judge denied Ulbricht's motion to dismiss the four-count indictment against him. The indictment alleges that Ulbricht designed Silk Road to be a virtual marketplace that allowed sellers to offer, and consumers to procure, narcotics and other illegal and fraudulent goods and services. The government also contended that Silk Road limited the form of payment on the site to Bitcoin in order to frustrate any attempts to identify patrons. In so doing, the government alleged that Ulbricht participated in narcotics trafficking, computer hacking and money laundering conspiracies. In a 51-page opinion issued July 9, 2014, Judge Katherine Forrest explained why each of Ulbricht's challenges to the indictment failed. In this regard, Judge Forrest not only allowed the case against Ulbricht to continue but also further fortified law enforcement's ability to apply federal law to Bitcoin-based transactions.
Central to the government's money laundering case against Ulbricht was his designation of Bitcoin as the sole form of payment permitted on Silk Road. Given that Bitcoin use had yet (as of the time of the filing of Ulbricht's motion) to form the basis of a money laundering charge, Ulbricht argued that the government could not sufficiently allege a "financial transaction" as required under 18 U.S.C. § 1956(h). Relying on Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Notice 2014-21 (which found that virtual currencies like Bitcoin were "property" rather than currency for the purposes of federal tax law), and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network's (FinCEN) March 18, 2013 Guidance on the Application of FinCEN's Regulations to Persons Administering, Exchanging, or Using Virtual Currencies (which distinguished virtual currencies like Bitcoin from "the coin and paper money of the United States or of any other country"), Ulbricht argued that if Bitcoin fell outside the traditional definition of "currency," then it likewise fell outside the definitions of "funds" and "monetary instruments" and therefore could not be used in "financial transactions" of the type to which the money laundering statute applied. In essence, Ulbricht urged that if Bitcoin was not "money," then the government could not prove that he had engaged in money laundering.
Noting first that neither FinCEN nor the IRS purported to address the question of whether Bitcoin satisfies the definition of "financial transaction" under the money laundering statute, the court opted to read the language of the statute broadly, and according to Judge Forrest, consistent with "its ordinary meaning." Settling on a definition of "financial transaction" that "capture[d] all movements of 'funds' by any means, or monetary instruments," and designating "funds" as "money" or something that "can be used to pay for things," the court concluded that Bitcoin constitutes "funds" that may be used in "financial transactions." Indeed, according to the court, "the only value for Bitcoin lies in its ability to pay for things . . . . Its form is digital-bits and bytes that together constitute something of value. And they may be bought and sold using legal tender." As the court rationalized, because Congress intended to prevent criminals from finding ways to "wash the proceeds of criminal activity by transferring proceeds to other similar or different items that store significant value," it would be consistent to conclude that one "can money launder using Bitcoin."
While this opinion constitutes the first time a court has tackled the issue of whether Bitcoin falls under the definition of "financial transactions," this is not the first time that federal law has been interpreted to cover Bitcoin transactions. Although Bitcoin investors and entrepreneurs must understand that their Bitcoin-based activities will be scrutinized Judge Forrest did acknowledge that "an allegation that Bitcoins are used as a payment system [would have been] insufficient in and of itself to state a claim for money laundering," and the "fact that Bitcoins allow for anonymous transactions does not ipso facto mean that those transactions relate to unlawful activities." The court clarified that it was the use of Bitcoins as the medium of exchange in financial transactions relating to narcotics trafficking and computer hacking that, if proved, would render the transactions alleged in this case illegal. The government in this case admitted the same in its complaint, stating that "Bitcoins are not illegal in and of themselves and have known legitimate uses."
The court's discussion of the other allegations against Ulbricht, including the bases for the government's narcotics and computer hacking conspiracy charges, can be found here.

13 Beautiful Double DoorsFebruary 22, 2017
I love beautiful double door. When I am in France each summer visiting my mother's amazing rental apartment in Paris, I am reminded that my dream house must have a double doors somewhere. Mom's Parisian summer flat has tall ceilings and glorious double doors leading from the dining room to the living room. Classic, tall, with molding, striking substantial knobs and some door trim that stands out.
Would love to have interior double doors leading to a bedroom or dining room. Something so elegant about flinging open two doors to a room.
Here are 13 double doors I am loving. A little design inspiration for a Tuesday!Read More

LAS VEGAS — Danica Patrick is crossing back over into entertainment. The NASCAR star is joining country singer Trace Adkins as co-host of the American Country Awards on Dec. 10. Patrick will have an experienced hand to guide her. Adkins has overseen the show since it began four years ago. Last year, his sidekick was Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth. The show will air live on FOX from the Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas. Patrick says she's become a fan of country music since she joined the NASCAR circuit, and she's appeared in videos with Miranda Lambert and Colt Ford. Adkins' new album of Celtic-infused Christmas carols, The King's Gift, comes out Oct. 29. Filed under: Associated Press, Entertainment, Headlines, NASCAR

Many new potato varieties are bred each year. In order to be eligible for marketing as seed potatoes, a variety must undergo 2 years of official trialling before it can be accepted on to the National List of an EU Member State and then automatically on to the Common Catalogue which is a compilation of EU National Lists. A guide to UK National Listing of Varieties may be obtained from the Plant Variety Rights Office or from the National Listing page on the fera website.
National List trialling involves testing for Distinctness, Uniformity and Stability (DUS) and Value for Cultivation and Use (VCU). The emphasis for potato VCU is on resistance to diseases and defects important in potato production in the UK. SASA is the main centre for official potato variety testing in the UK, being responsible for DUS testing as well as the VCU testing in conjunction with NIAB. This official testing is also co-ordinated with Independent Variety Trialling funded by industry through Potato Council Ltd to ensure effective use of resources and maximisation of independent information for industry.
SASA conducts disease, pest and defect tests described in more detail on the Disease Testing page. The current protocols and procedures governing UK National List Trials are maintained by Fera.
If independent testing is required by commercial customers, tests can be modified accordingly.
Disease, pest and damage susceptibility ratings obtained during National List Trials for new varieties are available on the AHDB Potatoes' Potato Variety Database together with results from Independent Variety Trial tests. Additional information on these varieties may also be found on the European Cultivated Potato Database.
For further information please contact Heather Campbell Tel: 0131 244 8938 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com

David Cameron is leading Britain through a huge and unpredictable experiment. I'm not talking about his decision to impose massive cuts in the middle of a recession. That's not an experiment at all. We know how that ends. Look up the history of the 1930s Great Depression, or – as George Osborne once said – "look and learn from across the Irish Sea." No: I'm talking about a genuine test. The Prime Minister is trying to see how far you can separate your political rhetoric from your actual political action, before the entire soufflé of spin collapses. How long in politics can you say one thing and do precisely the opposite?
This week alone, the headlines have been dominated by three subjects where Cameron is doing the polar opposite of what he is telling the public. Let's look at them.
Deception One: The banks. The story of the Great Crash of 2008 is clear, and understood by almost everyone. Starting in the 1980s, the rules introduced to stop banks from gambling with our money were systematically stripped away. The politicians who did this – Thatcherites and their New Labour spawn alike – said bankers were perfectly rational beings, so there was no need to tie them up in "red tape" and "restrictions." Set free, they effectively took our money to Las Vegas and blew it all, then demanded we pick up the tab. The bill and the shock have broken the global economy.
After bankers crashed the economy in 1929, some committed suicide. After they crashed the economy in 2008, they demanded even bigger bonuses.
David Cameron told the British people before the election he was "outraged" and would ensure it "never happened again." He promised extensive re-regulation and that all bankers' cash bonuses in nationalised banks would be strictly limited to £2,000. Yet in private, he assured a closed-door meeting of senior City execs: "My father was a stockbroker, my grandfather was a stockbroker, my great-grandfather was a stockbroker." He hoovered up their donations so enthusiastically that half of the entire Conservative Party's income now comes from financiers.
In power, Cameron has served his paymasters, not his people. When the EU tried to restrict bankers' bonuses in line with Cameron's election promises, Cameron vetoed it. When the state-owned banks paid themselves bonuses of more than £2m with our money this week, Cameron approved it. It's appropriate that the conditions imposed in return for these bonuses are called Operation Merlin, since he was a mythical figure, and this proposal is full of them. For example, the banks only have to increase lending "should sufficient demand materialise" – a loophole so vague that senior bankers call it "meaningless."
But worst of all, when there have been international moves to reregulate the banks to prevent another crash, Cameron has scorned them. So it's all going to happen again. The US Treasury Department's Inspector General, Neil Barofsky, recently wrote we will "end up in a similar or greater crisis in two, or five, or ten years' time. It is hard to see how any of the fundamental problems in the system have been addressed to date. [The bailouts] saved our financial system from driving off a cliff in 2008, [but] we are still driving on the same winding mountain road, but this time in a faster car." Can you afford another crash?
Deception Number Two: The Big Society. It is unfair that people keep saying the idea of the Big Society is "incomprehensible" and "unclear." It's actually a clear proposition, articulated plainly by Cameron. It is the belief that as the state cuts back its services, volunteers will step in to provide those services for free. So you can stop paying the local librarians, or the local youth club, or the local museum, and local people will step in and run it themselves, for nothing. The state "crowds out" volunteers, and when it retreats, they come flooding back.
This is perfectly comprehensible. The only problem is that it doesn't match reality. To find out why, just look at the facts. The sociologist Amitai Etzioni conducted a major international study of volunteerism. He found that volunteering is highest where state funding is highest, and lowest where state funding is lowest. So high-tax Massachusetts has the most volunteers in the US, while low-tax Mississippi has the fewest. High-tax Sweden has the most volunteers in Europe, while low-tax Eastern Europe has the lowest. Far from "crowding out" volunteers, a big state attracts them, and a small state drives them away. Why? There are several reasons. A well-funded state can recruit, train and direct volunteers. And in a high-solidarity society, people are less panicked about losing their own jobs and more likely to trust their fellow citizens enough to want to give something back to them.
If Cameron had bothered to look, he would have known all this. If he had wanted to increase volunteerism, he would have increased the budget to promote and recruit volunteers. Instead, he all but shut it down when he came to power. This shows that the Big Society was always a rebranding trick – a way of making the biggest cuts to public spending since the 1920s sound upbeat. I'm not taking away your library, I'm empowering you to run it!
Deception Number Three: Multiculturalism. In a speech last weekend, Cameron argued that Britain has allowed some ethnic minorities to fall into "segregated communities behaving in ways that run completely counter to our values." We should stop encouraging immigrants to be separate and to retain the culture of the country they came from, however patriarchal and fundamentalist it might be. Instead we should promote a "liberal society" where we all mix with each other in one shared culture.
I agree. I am the son of an immigrant and passionately in favour of immigration – but the best way to welcome immigrants is not to put them in a brightly coloured box called Exotic and Different, where they are free to oppress "their" women and gays.
But while Cameron preaches against ghettoising minorities publicly, he is actively promoting it in the most important and formative place of all – our schools. When I was a kid growing up in the London suburbs, I went to school with children from every kind of family – black, white, Muslim, Jewish, atheist. Because we all knew each other as real people, few of us became racist: we'd always remember our friends and know any stereotype about them was absurd. But in the area where I grew up, that doesn't happen any more. Children are now parcelled off to separate "faith schools" – children of Christians to the left, kids of Muslims to the right, and so on.
Some 70 per cent of the "free schools" established under Cameron are religious separatist schools. They are free to indoctrinate children into deranged ideas like creationism, Hell and the caste system. So Cameron's policies ensure that many more children will be raised in "segregated communities behaving in ways that run completely counter to our values."
Yes, all politicians lie – but I can't think of many others who week after week deliver speeches demanding X, while they are ruthlessly and knowingly doing the exact opposite of X. Beneath Cameron's entire agenda runs the biggest lie of all: that Britain is facing an "unprecedented" level of debt. In reality, Britain's national debt has been higher as a proportion of GDP for 200 of the past 250 years. So here's the experiment. How many blatant lies are you prepared to take from your Prime Minister?

Welcome to GlenKaren Care Products.
GlenKaren Premium Shoe Polish was created with just two things in mind:
- Create a great shoe polish that lasts longer, and conditions leather better than other polish on the market.
- Create a product that is safe for the people that use it, and friendly to our environment.
The story goes that Glen loved his collection of expensive business shoes, and cleaned and polished them often. Karen hated the chemical smell associated with shoe polish, and wanted to do what she could to help protect our environment.
Something had to give, and Karen and Glen are both very strong willed (some would even say stubborn). So a solution was created:
GlenKaren, All Natural, Non-Toxic, Cream Shoe Polish.
The ingredients are 100% Natural and Biodegradable. No animal products are used (beeswax is used however).
Coconut oil is used as the main leather conditioner because it is a longer lasting oil, with a higher resistance to bacteria than other oils.
We do NOT use Turpentine or Petroleum by-products in our polish.
This polish is easy to spread and shine, and has a pleasant citrus smell.
All shoe polish must have four basic ingredients:
- Solvent (usually Naphtha or Turpentine)
- Oil (usually Neatsfoot [bovine tallow] or Mink oil)
- Wax (usually Beeswax and/or Carnauba)
- Color (usually a range of chemical based dyes)
GlenKaren Premium Shoe Polish contains only the following all natural, non-toxic, pleasant smelling ingredients:
We use food grade orange terpenes (d-Limonene). Orange oil contains the raw oil collected from the citrus peel during the juicing extraction process. Once orange oil has been extracted from the rind, d-Limonene is separated from sesquiterpenes, other monoterpenes, and is purified by high vacuum distillation to produce food grade d-Limonene. The orange citric acid has a pH value of approximately 3.5, similar to the pH value of vegetable tanned leather which is approximately 3.2 (chrome tanned leather has a pH of approximately 3.8).
Orange oil contains citric acid and ascorbic acid, both of which are preventative antioxidants, and assist in oxidative stability. Orange oil is considered a volatile oil because it evaporates relatively quickly (over a few hours) when exposed to air (not in a closed container); This allows it to act as a solvent, rather than a lubricant like coconut oil. GlenKaren polish will last well over a year, if the jar is only open during use (this is true of any shoe polish).
We use organic extra-virgin coconut oil. Coconut oil is about 50 percent lauric acid, a rare medium-chain fatty acid, and is now being studied for its anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial properties. Overall, coconut oil contains 92% saturated fats (mink oil contains about 80% saturated fats). Saturated fat percentage is a major factor in determining oxidative stability; the higher the saturated fat percentage is the higher the oxidative stability (See Iodine Value below).
Iodine Value (IV) measures the reactive carbon double bonds present in oil (the weaker molecular bonds in oil – common in unsaturated fats). The lower the IV number the better the oxidative stability. Coconut oil has an IV value of 10, the lowest of any plant/animal oil. Lanolin has an IV of about 20, Neatsfoot oil (bovine tallow) has an IV between 50 to 70, Olive oil has an IV of 80, Castor oil has an IV of 85, and Mink oil has an IV between 80 to 95. This means that mink oil will go rancid much faster than coconut oil.
Coconut oil has a neutral pH balance (7.0), similar to mink oil (6.5).
Our Beeswax is one of the most natural wax products available. Beeswax is the wax made by honeybees intended for the protection of their honeycombs. The main components in beeswax are palmitate, palmitoleate, and oleate esters of long-chain (30-32 carbons) aliphatic alcohols, with a ratio of 6:1 of triacontanyl palmitate to cerotic acid, the two principal components.
The Carnauba wax we use is a natural vegetable wax exuded by the leaves of a palm tree (copernicia cerifera) growing in Brazil. It is the hardest natural wax available, composed of wax esters (85%), free fatty acids, fatty alcohols and resins (15%). Our Carnauba wax is basically odorless.
We use Earth and Ocher pigments from the world famous quarries of The Société des Ocres de France, located in the Provence region of France. All of our coloring is safe, non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and free from chromium, cadmium, mercury, tin, arsenic, radium, lead or other hazardous materials.

Re: how to connect to hotspot on nexus 7 - says i,m connected but wifi icon is orange - no data
Welcome to Android Central! What SSID's do those hotspots have--in other words, what are they called? Not all available public wi-fi hotspots are actually connected to the internet. For example, a while ago, there were a whole bunch of hotspots called "Free Public Wi-Fi" that didn't connect to anything--I think they were leftover from a failed service.
Are you sure those free hotspots don't require some sort of login in a browser page? Open your browser and try to access any site like Yahoo. If the hotspot requires a login or an acceptance of terms and conditions, you won't be able to connect to the internet until you get past that page.

There's no coming home for these five characters in search of hope, and whose abrupt exchanges, edgy silences and darting non sequiturs contribute to a troubling picture of desperate isolation. In Oxford Stage Company's revival of David Storey's Home, Christopher Godwin plays Jack the dapper chap, the role created by John Gielgud, while David Calder steps into the tweedy part of Harry, originally taken by Ralph Richardson. It's to Storey's credit that the parts of the two old codgers are indelible enough to outlive their knightly creators, at least when given such plausible portraits as those presented in Sean Holmes's sure-footed production.
Anthony Lamble's sparse set gives little away - two white, wrought-iron chairs around a table, a stone balustrade, and a lawn that has seen better days, like the two elderly gents who stroll up. They begin a desultory conversation. "It's not too hot, no, not too cold", and it begins to dawn: they're not too mad, not too sane. They despair - through the agonies and frustration of severed communication, half-begun sentences, half-remembered memories - over the state of Britain and life now, often with deadpan humour. "I sometimes think if the war had been prolonged another 30 years we'd have all felt the benefit," says Jack in a moment of apparent profundity. They're glad they live on an island but just how stranded they actually are only becomes apparent as, jokes and card tricks forgotten, their stiff upper lips begin to wobble and tears flow.
The two women, not introduced until the second act, add a quite different dimension, while revealing that all four are patients in a vast, impersonal mental institution, the home where no one's heart is. Marjorie (Sandra Voe) hides her insecurities with her world-weary attitude to everything: "rape, intercourse, physical pleasure", nothing shocks her. If Geraldine James seems less well-cast as cackling Kathleen, contorting her face and sometimes trying too hard to be mad instead of just being herself, she takes the agony of ill-fitting shoes onto a new level. So convincingly does she convey bleeding feet, cramped toes and bruised ankles, that I limped out of the theatre in sympathy. She's the girl who's game for anything, desperate for her lonely life to be filled, especially with a bit of nookie - with anyone. The humour is black, the sadness of their lives ineffable.
Soon the two couples are trying to make contact, like four ghostly dancers gliding around each other, sometimes touching a nerve, often retreating into the neutral subject of the weather. As the fragmentary pieces are juggled into some sort of recognisable position - including Jack's "certain proclivity" for little girls and Harry's pyromaniacal tendencies - the reasons for the characters' incarceration become less hazy, though they are never entirely clear in Storey's typically enigmatic snapshot.

Optional morning skate for Bruins
|04.14.11 at 10:40 am ET
With the Canadiens in town for Game 1, there's only one thing to do: play soccer.
After two straight days of practice in anticipation of the playoffs, the B's held an optional skate Thursday morning, with the rest of the players getting loose with some hallway soccer.
Tuukka Rask, Anton Khudobin, Shane Hnidy, Tyler Seguin, Michael Ryder, Gregory Campbell, Chris Kelly and Matt Bartkowski participated in the skate. From the goes-without-saying department, expect Tim Thomas between the pipes and Tyler Seguin to be the healthy scratch.
We'll have more from the Bruins and Canadiens dressing rooms after each team has its morning availability.
Bruins vs. Canadiens: keys to the first round
|04.14.11 at 1:35 am ET
Finally, after plenty of hype, the Bruins and Canadiens are a matter of hours away from beginning their best-of-seven first-round series.
While one group of fans (and both will be present at TD Garden) chants 'Ole' and the other chants 'USA' (Bruins fans must really like Tim Thomas, as chanting 'USA' applies to only one player on the team), there will be hockey to be played. The Bruins-Canadiens rivalry is the circus of all circuses, but if either team gets caught up in it, they could slip. Here are the things that will actually matter in this series:
The first game of a playoff series is a big one, but the first 20 minutes of this series might be even more important. The Bruins are capable of overpowering the Canadiens with their style of play, but there were multiple instances in which the B's sat back early and waited until the Canadiens had already established their presence. The two teams were split, 3-3, in the first-goal department, and in the four instances that a team got on the board in the game's first 10 minutes, that team won.
The Habs certainly gave their netminder plenty of work this season, as price finished second to only Cam Ward in games played among goaltenders with 72. That's a heavy workload, but Price handled it well, and it will be interesting to see whether the 23-year-old wears down in the postseason.
While Price was very good for the Canadiens this season, TD Garden was far from good to him. After allowing one goal in a 3-1 Canadiens win back on Nov. 11, his other two trips to Boston this season provided Habs fans with reason to worry. He gave up 13 goals over two losses at TD Garden in 2011 and was yanked from the the March 24 game less than five minutes into the third period.
The mystery of how Price can handle this series is very intriguing. His eight shutouts this season suggests he should be considered capable of taking over a playoff series, and if he does, it could be a classic goaltending matchup. If not, the Habs could be in trouble.
The Bruins are the better team in this series, so they need their best players to be relentless. It's no secret that Horton can disappear in games and struggled with consistency at points of the regular season, but it's unknown whether he's susceptible to drop-offs in the playoffs. Horton had a pair of forgettable games in his first two contests against the Canadiens (zero points and just one shot on goal over a pair of losses), but came up big in the other three (three goals, four assists).
Lucic, meanwhile, enjoys being known as a playoff player, and his 18 points over the last two postseasons speak for that. Lucic stepped up his game big-time this season but after scoring his 30th goal failed to strike again in the final 10 games. Will he also take his postseason play to a new level, or will his goal-less streak spill over into the playoffs?
The Bruins couldn't buy a power play goal down the stretch, and with special teams always playing an important role in the postseason, they'll have to find a way to convert against a very good Montreal penalty kill. The Bruins were just 3-for-24 against the Canadiens on the power play this season, while the Habs were 9-for-28.
The reason this series might not be a short one is because the Bruins could struggle playing at the Bell Centre, as they did during the regular season (0-2-1). The difficulty they've encountered winning games in Montreal will make the B's home games even more important. The Habs are capable of stealing one or two on the road, and the B's need to prove they're capable of doing the same.
Claude Julien stresses importance of special teams
|04.13.11 at 12:40 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Bruins coach Claude Julien spoke Wednesday about what his team must do to find success against the Canadiens in the first round of the playoffs. Among the things touched on was the play of special teams, an area in which the Habs have excelled and the B's have struggled of late.
"This is a team that we're playing that played good on the power play," Julien said. "They've had success, and we've got to stay out of the box as best we can."
While the Bruins' penalty kill unit (which allowed three goals in the last six games) will be key, there is no area more lacking for the Bruins than the power play. Since acquiring puck-moving defenseman Tomas Kaberle, the success on the man advantage has trended in the opposite direction. The B's have just seven power play goals in 67 opportunities since Kaberle joined the team.
The Bruins finished 20th in the league with a 16.2 power play percentage, while their 82.6 penalty kill percentage was 16th. Boston was 3-for-24 on the power play in six regular season games vs. the Habs this season. The Canadiens finished seventh in both power play percentage (19.7) and penalty kill percentage (84.4).
The Bruins got some work in on the power play Wednesday, and they can only hope their success with the man advantage is better in the playoffs than it has been for the last two months.
All present for final practice before playoffs
|04.13.11 at 11:06 am ET
WILMINGTON — All the expected Bruins were accounted for Wednesday as the B's held their last practice before they square off with the Habs in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
No surprises in the color-coded lines:
Milan Lucic ' David Krecji ' Nathan Horton
Brad Marchand ' Patrice Bergeron ' Mark Recchi
Rich Peverley ' Chris Kelly ' Michael Ryder/Tyler Seguin
Bruins will pick ninth overall in NHL Draft
|04.12.11 at 8:35 pm ET
The Devils won the NHL Draft lottery Tuesday night, meaning they got to move up the maximum four spots from No. 8 to the fourth overall pick. Given that the team that won the lottery was already picking ahead of the Bruins, the B's, who have Toronto's first-round pick from the Phil Kessel deal, will remain at ninth overall.
For the second consecutive year, the Oilers will pick first overall. Edmonton selected Windsor (OHL) left wing Taylor Hall with the top pick last season. Edmonton general manager Steve Tambellini had tried to swing a deal with Boston to get the second overall pick as well in order to secure both Hall and Plymouth (OHL) center Tyler Seguin, but the B's kept the pick and selected Seguin.
The rest of the top five sees Colorado picking second, followed by the Panthers, Devils and New York Islanders.
Bruins answer northern practices question: Lake Placid it is
|04.12.11 at 6:25 pm ET
Given the odd setup of the Bruins and Canadiens' first-round schedule (thank you, Rush and Lady Gaga), one of the oddities of the B's trip to Montreal next week is that they will have both Tuesday and Wednesday to practice in between Games 3 and 4.
The question hasn't been how, but where the B's will spend next Tuesday and Wednesday. One logical option seemed to be somewhere in Vermont, but the team announced Tuesday that they will head to Lake Placid, N.Y. to practice at the Whiteface Lake Placid Olympic Center.
Milan Lucic: Bruins fans want 'us to beat the hell out of' the Habs – and vice versa
|04.12.11 at 3:23 pm ET
WILMINGTON — This is just Milan Lucic's fourth season in the NHL. But he's been around long enough to know what Bruins and Canadiens fans expect once the series starts Thursday night at TD Garden.
"Our fans are going to want us to beat the hell out of them and their fans are going to want to see them to beat the hell out of us," Lucic said. "We know the energy is going to be high in both buildings, and I think that's what makes this rivalry so great, the fans are so pumped up about it. That's what it makes it fun being a player, being a part of this rivalry."
The Bruins are trying to advance past the Eastern Conference semifinals for the first time since 1992. They have lost in Game 7 in each of the last two seasons, including last year when they blew a 3-0 series lead and a 3-0 lead in Game 7 to the Flyers, dropping Game 7, 4-3, when the Bruins were called for too many men on the ice.
"It is the playoffs, and it can even come down to one little thing that makes a difference in winning or losing," Lucic said. "For ourselves, we have to do a good job of managing our emotions and using it to our advantage and feeding off of it. We don't have to change anything from how we played in the season.
"We still have to play with an edge and play that high-energy type game where we're into the game emotionally but then again we have to manage it to the point where we're not spending most of the time in the box."

Entropy DemystifiedWorld Scientific Publishing Company 2008; US$ 26.00 US$ 23.66
In this unique book, the reader is invited to experience the joy of appreciating something which has eluded understanding for many years — entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The book has a two-pronged message: first, that the second law is not infinitely incomprehensible as commonly stated in most textbooks on thermodynamics, but... more...
Friction-Induced Vibrations and Self-OrganizationCRC Press 2013; US$ 219.95
Many scientists and engineers do not realize that, under certain conditions, friction can lead to the formation of new structures at the interface, including in situ tribofilms and various patterns. In turn, these structures?usually formed by destabilization of the stationary sliding regime?can lead to the reduction of friction and wear. Friction-Induced... more...
Handbook of Differential EntropyCRC Press 2013; US$ 97.95
One of the main issues in communications theory is measuring the ultimate data compression possible using the concept of entropy. While differential entropy may seem to be a simple extension of the discrete case, it is a more complex measure that often requires a more careful treatment. Handbook of Differential Entropy provides a comprehensive... more...

Wow - nice colors!
Hard to tell from the photo, but I suspect I wouldn't like that one
either. Just don't find those dark colors with a lot of white lines
around the beard at all appealing. Doesn't bother me on a light colored
I also don't care for zonals, or ?is it EMMA COOK pattern?, but do love
those dark umbratas so at least I'm consistent - dark on light ground I
like, light on dark I don't. My tolerance seems to be about half way
down the beard. Depending on how rounded and ruffled the standards are,
sometimes they hide enough of it to keep me happy.
Unless the whole bloom is patterned.

The aims of this proposal are to (1) improve comparative modeling so that atomic level accuracy models can be routinely generated starting from structures of homologous proteins, (2) transform the process of NMR structure determination by making possible the determination of atomic level accuracy models without side chain assignments, and (3) enable the determination of high resolution structures from 3-4.5 E resolution density maps. These methodological advances will be extended to enable structure determination of membrane proteins and large homo-oligomers based on datasets not sufficient to allow structure determination using conventional methods.
The proposed work could transform the process of macromolecular structure determination, making it possible to determine accurate structures rapidly with less cost and effort, and to determine atomic level structures for proteins and complexes for which this is not currently possible. Such structures could provide insight into fundamental biological processes and the basis for disease causing mutations, and allow the structure based design of new therapeutics.

These Sun Animal poems are examples of Sun poems about Animal. These are the best examples of Sun Animal poems written by international PoetrySoup poets

Fair Maybelle trode through the morning dew
She peered through the foggy haze
Her blue eyes saw what I tell you is true
For the fog did part and the sun did blaze
And a pure white unicorn met her gaze
Now it may well seem it would run away
Or perhaps she would rather shy
But against her nature she hastened to stay
And an unseen cord drew her nigh
Till Maybelle's feet she laid her by
So sweetly Maybelle stroked her hair
She longed for her touch once more
But Maybelle ceased, and she left her there
For what a *wight could see, that her heart was sore
Till she meet her love on the Highdown *Tor
So Maybelle walked o'er the far and near
And her one-horned friend followed light as a bird
And they travelled on without a sight of fear
With but one care and nary a word
That winsome twosome persevered
At the long last, Maybelle heard a pleasant sound
The sound of a rollicking song
And the butterflies danced in the air all around
Whilst her love held her dearly and long
If it could, could it be that she was the theme of his song?
So the three of them lived in the fairyland *wold
Where the sun slips off to the moonlight's glow
Where the wind blows warm and the streams flow cold
And the daffodils thrive in winter's snow
Now here is the end, as you surely know
* Wight: A person
* Tor: A high pointed hill
* Wold: A wood or forest

Observe how the ants labor without a peep;
Note the fine artistry of the spider's web-spinning;
Who will wake the bear from his long winter sleep?
Stand in awe of the hummingbird flapping its wings;
Listen to the lovely melody the songbirds sing;
Watch the majestic hawks leave their nests and soar;
Bask in the rising sun's heat at the ocean shore.
An invitation into God's presence
comes from the sun, the creatures, and much more.
All of His creation emits His essence.

There was a hush over the land
not even a blade of grass stirred.
The sun beamed down in delight
and flowers opened their petals.
The lake sparkled and shone
its waves lapping the shore.
The odd fish leapt up at flies
then swiftly sunk back down.
The forest trees seemed to part
leaving a faint winding path.
Then into the shady clearing
she daintily stepped out.
As she appeared a ripple,
a ripple of excitement.
Gleaming coat of silver
as the sun highted her.
She stood there poised
as her ears flicked listening.
A sculpture of beauty
with rippling muscles.
It was that most elusive creature
with a spiral horn in her head.
That gracefully walked to drink
when done she faded into shadow
Once more the forest came alive
on the ground a silver hair
giving proof to the legend
that indeed Unicorns still live.

The black giraffe
With the orange and silver spots
Looked up at his mum with a frown,
Is it OK that I look
A little bit strange?
Have you heard what the other ones do say?
His mum looked down
With kindness in her eyes
And glanced at his odd looking skin,
My love, you are beautiful
Your skin is the night sky
A blanket of stars to light our way,
Why look like all the rest,
When your skin holds the sun close by
And is best friends with moon up on high?
Little one
You must dare to be different I say
Walk away from those that are mean
For you will gallop from star to star
Sing rings around the planets afar
You will dance with the very best,
See yourself with my eyes my dear
If only you knew what I knew
Face your life with courage
Don't be afraid of who you are.

If I could change the world in more ways than presently,
Computers would not crash; nor could they ever be hacked. If competition does not increase in both NBA Conferences,
Playoff spots in the NBA would be reduced to 6 from 8.
In the automobile industry, Buyer Beware Rules would be changed,
affording buyers a fighting chance of getting a good car at a fair price.
No dictatorships in Asia or Africa.
No drugs from Middle East or South America.
Political parties would be discouraged in the US of America.
Terror would cease; and nations would study war no more.
Absolutely no one would pay attention to political polls.
The entire planet would be neither too hot, nor too cold.
Every person would live for ever, and never grow old.
The streets in every city would be paved with gold.
And there would be no pot holes on the road.
No nation would be aggressive toward another nation.
Every nation would humanely govern itself as it chooses.
There would exist the purest form of Sovereignty among nations.
Peace will reign from East to West and from North to South Poles.
All transactions would be fair, and nothing would be deceitfully sold.
There would be fair trades between people everywhere around the globe.
Plenty of clean water for everyone, even the birds and the bees.
Medicines would be minimized, and healing would come from trees.
Children would play without fear of pedophiles.
No human would be bartered or bought.
No child abuse or women misused;
No abortions and no rapes;
No cruelties to any animal,
Including elephants and whales.

Rabbit's sitting in a circle of sun
as though they were in school
watching a hula hoop being swung by one
round and round the hoop swung
mesmerizing in its swirl being watched by the cool
rabbit's sitting in a circle of sun
I watched as they sat entranced in the sun
Playing silly games but always aware and nobody's fool
watching a hula hoop being swirled by one
Mother's of the rabbits arrived at a run
food in a hamper with cold drinks for the supercool
rabbit's sitting in a circle of sun
Chase was next on the cards "touch your on"
was the favourite, except for the ones playing boule,
watching a hula hoop being swirled by one.
Next time your near a fairly glen
tip toe in quietly and you might see these cool
rabbit's sitting in a circle of sun
watching a hula hoop being swirled by one

Summoned to defend the skies of eternity and the land of death
against the traitors to the throne of the sun god

may your conscience be your pillow
and your wretched hearts your lullaby
you and your puppet slaves will never tame this mane.

your skin of deception your pillars of lies and halls of betrayal

I am the truth the originator of galactic time
your presence was my flatulent secretion
your death will be my orgasmic sigh.

Oh, I get such a lovely thrill
looking out from the top of a hill
The view is very heavenly
enchanting me with its beauty
Watching the clouds in the sky
I see them slowly drifting by
Some of them are white and fluffy
making me feel bright and cheery
Some are shaped like animals
A horse, a whale and other mammals
Looking down in the valley below
Trees are bathed with the sunshine's glow
Water in the stream that's flowing
is crystal clear and glistening
Yes, the view from the top of a hill
certainly gives me a lovely thrill

Some dark-skinned people seek to lighten their skin colour
By applying skin creams to make themselves fairer
Most of these creams have some chemical matter
That can cause serious health problems later
Their use is common in countries like India
Where beauty and fair skin tone go together
Girls are encouraged to avoid too much exposure
To the sunshine which can make their skins darker
But some white-skinned people who are born fairer
Are not satisfied with their natural skin colour
And wilfully seek more sunlight exposure
To get a tan and make their skins darker
For them, a skin that is darkened looks better
And is more beautiful than their natural colour
Yet, for white people, sunlight overexposure
Can lead to a deadly form of skin cancer
Some animals like to wallow in muddy water
Which when dried can change their outer colour
But this serves as a temperature regulator
And keeps off skin pests of one form or another
Animals do not seek to change their skin colour
To consciously make themselves fairer or darker
Such weird action is purely human in nature
In this crazy world of people's skin colour
Hey there midnight.
How was your day?
And how goes the night?
Lay there and sleep tight.
We're just as afraid
as we all are alright.
So light me up a fire
while we sing along the wires
with a choir who desires
to deserve some peace and quiet...
Tonight is midnight.
Where the sun fades away
in the shade of moonlight.
So goodnight and dream bright.
Like the clouds glow with jade
in the midnight moonlight.

As the moonlight shone over the mountains
The stars starts to flicker one by one
Humming winds eases the roughness
From the day's unforgiving sun.
Chilling wind caresses the darkness
Serenading them softly and low
Night critters goes out to mingle
Under the moon's mesmerizing glow.
The calm river chimes in its flowing
Flickering waves illumes the riverside
The chilling winds keeps on pushing
Quenching the thirst of the countryside.
As the sun lifts the shroud covering
Of mountain tops to the grass of the plains
Leaves and flowers bow to dew drops falling
As the sun kisses them once again.

Do Not Disturb
While walking through the bush one day
Hot sun burning the planet to a cinder
I happened upon a black mamba snake
When I say "happened upon" I mean stepped upon
The creature had no legs or toes or shoes
It knocked me off my feet with one swift strike
Signs all over nature read, "Do Not Disturb"
If only I could read I would have read them
Instead I'm feeling a little woozy
Thinking about a nap
Perhaps a cracker with some tea would perk me up
With luck I might make it to supper by three
Or the cemetery

Grays fly through the fog
Rain pushes their bodies down
Sun splits open clouds
Think of me walking through an empty field…
Staring at the sun, staring into the blue;
Searching for you.
In a sky so empty of anything with such beauty;
This life has no mysteries left to be revealed.
Rain, rain; go away.
Come again another day.
Bring with you her love and I will happily stay;
Come back empty handed and I shall leave you to your happiness
And I will never be seen again.
In a room of broken mirrors, I am happy at last.
Now I can see my mind clearly; it is full of cracks.
There lies my mind; because of the lies, it is shattered.
Chasing madness, chasing memories; chasing pavements.
I have been battered.
Bruised by love again and never truly healed;
I walk amongst the poppies, lost inside this field.
I went out of my mind and found religion;
I guess I needed something I could dive right into.
I wondered if I would ever again be fixed;
Once shy, forever bitten.
A dog barks, a farmer farms and the cow goes moo.
Searching for answers;
Searching for sanity.
Searching for anybody who can help me;
Searching for a remedy.

I could never express how it
feels, walking outside at 3
in the morning, wrapped
inside the night air. I'm in
my shorts, without a shirt.
without the sun, you can see
all of what you ignore in the
yard. you can hear the chain
move on the neck of the dog
next door. there aren't any
cars at this time so the
frogs hold your ears
prisoner. the Pacific I hold
tastes better than ever and
each drag from the cigarette
gets better. very few people
listen to classical today but
how many can say they listen
to Gould? it's a glorious
thing when you know at that
time, you're the only one. I
forget my heartache, the
Pacific and the cigarette
give me something a whore
could never give me. I sit
there in existence and smile
into the sky as I listen to
the recordings that Gould
made when he was alive. it's
a magic unlike anything I can
clearly describe. for the
moment, you know you're safe.
for the moment, you are
living. lines for the next
poem come to mind and I place
each one accordingly.
I can only hope this night
never ends but with the end
of each sound of music, so
too does the time pass. soon,
the sun will be out and I'll
be back to this miserable
position. I'll leave the
chair for now; it's not like
the whores I've known. it'll
be there when I get back. my
bottle is empty, the
cigarette is out, Gould has
come to an end and all that
is left is the squeaking of
the chair, the squeaking that
tells me, tomorrow early
morning, I get to do it all
over again.

About The Product
The rapid advancement in digital technology in recent years has allowed the implementation of incredibly sophisticated digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms that make real-time tasks feasible. Real-time DSP is currently a very hot subject in today's engineering fields fuelled by the ever-increasing demand for high-performance digital signal processors. The TMS320C55x is the latest of Texas Instrument's line of highly successful DSP chips, which is anticipated to dominate the market in 2001.
Placing emphasis on the practical aspects of real time DSP concepts and applications by taking a systems design, implementation and simulation approach, this text bridges the gap in the existing DSP literature which covers theory, MATLAB and C and Lab manuals. A hands-on, tutorial approach enables the understanding of real-time DSP systems principles and real-world applications using MATLAB, C and various assembly programs based on TI's TMS320C55x.
* Tutorial based presentation, allowing the reader to master the theory of digital signal processing and the important skill of real-time DSP design and implementation techniques.
* Focuses on practical aspects of real-time DSP concepts and applications from a system design and implementation point of view
* Accompanying CD-ROM containing MATLAB and C assembly programs will allow a hands-on illustration of real-time DSP application
* For readers with access to a TI DSP lab, an Evaluation Module (EVM) with Code Compressor Studio (CCS) of TMS320C55x will be integrated into lab experiments, projects and applications from in-text references
A valuable, leading edge resource for senior graduate students of digital signal processing and practising engineers developing real-time DSP applications.
