From the ridiculous to the sublime.
... this Friday night. It seems like New York. The big difference for us is that many bars or restaurants or cafés may have as few as eight to ten seats at the counter and no tables. Very intimate inside, but the streets are therefore very congested with all the competition. Every ten feet or so can be a different establishment. At Misono we were seated at a teppanyaki table with three 20 something girls from ...
Osaka Japan
Being only a short flight ie 7.5 hours long getting to japan was not too bad but still long enough to be cooped up. We are staying at the airport hotel so it reminded me so much of Hong Kong. The rooms are nice but of course we stuffed up and got 2 small double beds so Andrew will get a bed to himself and Laura and I will have to share - she is not as big and snorey as Andrew. We will go top to tail. My belly is playing up after ...
End of Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, Kobe, homewards!
... each per night we enjoyed a private room in a quirky architect's building, complete with complimentary iPad's! On our first day in Osaka we decided to visit its well known aquarium, said to be one of the biggest and best in the world. It certainly did not disappoint, with nearly 1000m of pathway filled with different animals to see and interact with. Gabriel was perhaps the most excited he'd been for the entire trip, particularly when we saw the giant turtle and the enormous whale ...
Money problems..

Back at the airport we were unsuccessful getting money out of the ATM, so we figured we could find one that worked at Shin-Osaka station, where our hotel wasn't too far from. 7 years is a long time and I foolishly thought getting around would come back to me like riding a bike - Wrong! There were so many damn corridors and it wasn't like we could just follow the crowds, as they were coming and ...
Arrive in Kyoto
... are fried and crispy just on the bottom and you dip them in a mix of soy sauce and vinegar. I love me some gyoza!
After lunch, we threw our bags in a coin locker and started to walk around the city. We found a temple (Kyoto has literally thousands of temples), and walked through the complex. To enter the temple, the tradition is to cleanse your hands in the designated fountain and remove your shoes. The complex was huge, and the main temple building ...

The explosions have left the Palestinian leader trapped, under intense pressure to act but faced with an array of equally unpalatable choices.
In an emergency meeting after the bombing, which left 15 dead and more than 170 injured, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his security Cabinet produced a list of demands for Mr Arafat, "first and foremost to fight the terror groups and their infrastructure". Israel blames the militant Palestinian organisation Hamas for the bombing, and Mr Arafat and his police for letting Hamas get away with it.
Mr Arafat must extradite Palestinians wanted by Israel, must take "immediate steps" against high-ranking officials in his police force who are accused of planning attacks on Israelis, and must resume full co-operation with Israeli security services - and until he does, Mr Netanyahu said, there will be no more peace talks.
The Israeli Prime Minister called his demands reasonable, indeed, basic, in the context of the peace process; he was echoed by US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and most of the international community. But Israel could hardly have given Mr Arafat a more impossible list of demands.
"There is simply no way he can do this," said Dr Khalil Shiqaqi, head of the Centre for Palestine Research and Studies, a Nablus think-tank. "Israel has weakened him so far, he is fighting for his own survival, and Hamas is as much a threat to him as it is to Israelis. If he does what Israel demands, he will be discredited past any recovery."
A year and a half ago, after a series of bus bombings that left 66 Israelis dead and gutted the peace process, Mr Arafat was able to take forceful action against Hamas and Islamic Jihad; and indeed, he seriously damaged the infrastructure of both organisations. But back then, the PLO leader had just won election as president with 88 per cent of the vote; he had public support, because the Israeli army had recently left the West Bank cities; the economic situation was good and the peace process was going well.
"Today, none of those things is true," said Dr Shiqaqi. "Plus, he is facing wide allegations of corruption and human rights abuses."
Palestinian police have made some arrests in the West Bank towns they control, but Mr Arafat is in no position to start another crackdown on Islamists. While the suicide bombings are not condoned by the majority of Palestinians, Hamas as a political party does have a solid support base. Nor will it serve Mr Arafat now to be seen as caving in to Israeli demands. "He is not going to put himself on the line when Israel is doing everything it can to discredit him," Dr Shiqaqi said.
So what will he do? Palestinian commentators believe Mr Arafat will take some localised action against Hamas and Jihad, when he finds out who was responsible for this bombing. Then, he will have to wait out the Israeli anger, hoping his own population does not erupt first.
Palestinian political analyst Ghassan Khatib argues that Israel is being unrealistic in asking Mr Arafat to take measures now. "They don't understand that the violence is a result of Israeli policies, not a cause of the stagnation of the peace process," he said, citing settlement building and the closure of the Palestinian territories in particular. "Israelis need to ask themselves why 20-year-olds are so eager to commit suicide."
Yesterday morning, Israeli security forces arrested the families of two young men from the West Bank village of Dharriyeh and took them for genetic testing, attempting to identify the corpses of the suicide bombers. The two young men, Saled Al-Teil and Majid Qaissiyeh, disappeared from Dharriyeh 15 months ago and were the subject of a joint PA-Israeli search, because it was feared they might be planning such an attack. They were not known to be members of Hamas, although their families said they were "quite religious", and neither was married, in keeping with the profile of the typical suicide bomber.Reuse content

Dominating and dictating the style of the Sixties, it was Vreeland who promoted the peerless photography of Richard Avedon and the distinct look of models like Twiggy. Not that this solo show is a humourless catalogue of historical facts for fashion groupies. She was certainly a guru - "Pink," she announced, "is the navy blue of India" - but her style was her own. "The only thing I ever learned was how to dance," she says, and it shows. With a grand manner (and hairstyle) shared by Wallis Simpson, and dressed in basic black lit up by high-rouged cheekbones and a slash of richest red on her lips and nails, Wilson slithers across the set of Vreeland's Park Avenue home like a panther. In the wake of her sudden sacking from Vogue, she fills vases with lilies, prepares for a dinner party, gives great phone, and recounts her thoughts to us. No, not recounts, brays.
Wilson's outrageously entertaining manner has the austerity of Martha Graham, but she hits you like a cross between Katherine Hepburn and Elaine Stritch, with her growling whiplash wit. The beautifully tailored script, by Mark Hampton and Wilson herself, is strewn with drop-dead one-liners, most of them Vreeland's own words. "Excess!", she cries, worshipfully, and indeed lived-in exaggeration is her hallmark. She doesn't like things, she adores them with a quite sublime but ridiculously engaging self-belief. Everything from soft furnishings - "What the hell's the matter with that chair? It looks like Elsa Maxwell" - to Hitler's moustache - "It was just wrong" - lives in the detail.
But she is far less tyrannical than this would suggest. For a start, she is a great believer in vulgarity. "We all need a splash of bad taste... no taste is what I'm against." Wilson's exquisitely timed performance has real comic zest, but it is the unexpected pathos that deepens the pleasure of watching her. As the evening progresses, reality begins to seep through beneath Vreeland's deliciously buoyant confidence. Reading aloud a hostile profile of her in the New York Post, she hears herself speaking the words that she is "in her seventies". Horrorstruck, she hurls the paper across the room.
Like much of this almost guiltily enjoyable evening, the moment is one of high comedy, but, against all the odds, Wilson's superbly unsentimental portrayal is surprisingly touching. In her droll programme note she informs us that, despite her admiration for Vreeland, she had her doubts as "I loathe one-woman shows". She needn't have worried. The role fits her like an evening glove.

text: Affordable Care Act Kentucky Taking Steps to Make Health Insurance Exchange Happen Kentucky's soon-to-be-established health insurance exchange will be web-based and offer a mix of public and private insurance options. The Affordable Care Act requires states to set up marketplaces in which residents can compare and purchase insurance plans. Frist Calls for Implementation of State Health Insurance Exchanges By Associated Press • Jul 20, 2012 Former Senate Majority Leader and heart surgeon Bill Frist is calling on states to get going on their health insurance exchanges. The exchanges are part of the Affordable Care Act and some Republican governors who oppose the law are refusing to set them up. Kentucky Now Has State-Run Health Insurance Exchange Governor Steve Beshear has followed through on his promise to set up a state-run health insurance exchange in Kentucky. The Affordable Care Act requires states to set up marketplaces in which residents can buy private insurance or sign up for Medicaid. Beshear Resisting Calls So Far to Opt Out of Expanded Medicaid Program Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear is not joining other Kentucky officials in calling for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Many leading Republicans in the state—including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell—have pushed for full repeal of the healthcare law.

Microsoft Doesnt Care, So Hack Your Own Update CD
I guess they figure once is enough. Microsoft finally did make an update CD, but they did nothing to publicize it and did not update it. You don't need themyou can make your own Windows Update Hack CD. It's not very convenient, but it lets you get sAfter nagging by myself and others, Microsoft back in February finally came out with a Windows Update CD. Its a CD version of the key updates to Windows that you would get by running Windows Update. Of course, Windows gets a lot of updates, so every time you go to the Windows Update site you download many megabytes. Its enough to discourage any user and enough to make a dial-up user give up and just be insecure. Thats what was so cool about the Update CD: Everything, or almost everything, you needed would be on the CD and would install quickly. Then, if there was more necessary, it would be a relatively small download. But after releasing one CD in February, which was difficult to obtain and took weeks or even months to deliver, Microsoft has let the Update CD idea pass. I asked a while ago about any updates to it, and Im still waiting for a response. Too bad. I dont see why they dont want to do it. But if they were serious about it, they would have made it much easier to get, they would have updated it frequently, and they would have provided ISO images for download so anyone could burn CDs for anyone else.
Check out Larry Seltzers hands-on look at Microsofts Windows Update CD.

Alison Krauss net worth: Alison Krauss is an American singer and songwriter who has a net worth of $16 million. Alison Krauss was born in July of 1971 and is best known for her work in the bluegrass and country genres. Krauss first began singing at a young age, where she would compete in local contests. She started these types of singing-based competitions at the age of 10, which led to her first recording contract just four years later. Her first album was released in 1989 – and to date, 13 others. She has also lent her voice to various soundtracks, as well as other artists' albums. Krauss was born in Decatur, Illinois to Fred and Louise Krauss and grew up in Champaign, which is where the University of Illinois is hosted. When she was 5, she began learning to play the violin, but disliked classical music and began playing bluegrass styles instead. She is said to have started playing music so young at the instance of her parents who were looking to find a hobby that she could enjoy. In 1997 she married Pat Bergeson, before divorcing in 2001. The couple also had a son, named Sam, who was born in July of 1999.

I know nothing of military hospitals, but my father has been in and out of
VA hospitals since WWII. He appreciates the services they provide and has
never complained. My only complaint was that he needed eye surgery, but he
had to wait 2 extra years to meet some sort of criteria they had before
they'd do it. He has few options; sort of take it or leave it. But they've
been good to him.
VA services vary state to state. In Indiana, as a child of a disabled
veteran, 2/3 of 8 semesters of my college tuition were paid for. I believe
only one other state offered something like this. In recent years, though,
many veterans' services are being cut, hospitals are closing. I hope this
pace does not continue.

Google Maps API expert needed
- Status Closed
- Budget N/A
- Total Bids 1
Project Description
We already have a MYSQL db installed on our server which contains lot of POI (Point of Interest, also include long/lat info) data. Using data from this db, we now need an expert in Google Maps API to finish a specific local search function on our website: [url removed, login to view];handler=biz&biz=French%20Laundry
Please see attached pdf for clarification of following tasks:
1. Display local content from this database onto our site to show nearby businesses (such as Hotels, Restaurants, Spa, Wineries, etc) using google maps API. Must calculate accurate distances between business and plot them on google map as well as list format with full business information. Also, provide point to point directions and detect user's location via Google Gears and other browsers.
2. Provide functionality of Local Search on the website from this database to search for any business through keywords. Along with showing Nearby Businesses also show "People who viewed this business also viewed".
When finished, our pages should produce similar results for nearby businesses with accuracy as this site: [url removed, login to view];bbox=[url removed, login to view],[url removed, login to view],[url removed, login to view],37.7881492146&find_desc=
Please Note: coding and design must be done for each task in way so that it is iphone compatible. For example nothing can be done in flash since iphone does not support flash, Google maps must show on iphone, phone # must be able to be dialed on iphone simply by tapping the phone # in the webpage, "directions" link must launch native iphone map. So again, all aspects of this project must also work if browsed on iphone.
In order to be considered for this project, you must provide urls of similar Google Maps API sites you have completed.
Payment terms: Please do not ask for advance payment as our company will not authorize it. We will fund the escrow and release pmts as milestones will be accomplished.Get free quotes for a project like this

Oh No, Mageia has Lost its Magic
Magiea has been one of my favorite projects and distributions since its inception, but Jesse Smith said today that the spell is broken for him. Smith had issues with his network connection upon first boot, but continued to have installation and updating of software issues. He complained of poor performance, missing packages, and a seriously annoying task switcher too. All in all, he wasn't pleased. He concluded (in part):

"Twilight" author Stephenie Meyer is known for writing about bloodsuckers, but did she drain parts of her story from someone else?
Meyer has been accused of stealing from author Jordan Scott's 2006 novel "The Nocturne" for "Twilight: Breaking Dawn," the fourth book in the series, according to TMZ. Judging by the examples provided in the complaint, though, the claims probably will evaporate under sunlight.
See pictures from 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon.'
The document provided by TMZ, a letter from Scott's lawyers to the Hachette Book Group, contains 14 pages of supposed similarities, ranging from events in the wedding to sex scenes to dream sequences.
While that sounds bad for Meyer, many of the similarities are shared by decades' worth of romantic novels.
One example: Meyer's pregnancy scene reads, "Most of her dark hair was pulled away from her face in a messy knot, but a few strands stuck limply to her forehead and neck, to the sheen of sweat that covered her skin. There was something about her fingers and wrists that looked so fragile it was scary. She was sick. Very sick."
Fairly standard imagery for a horror-story pregnancy, no?
Scott's version reads: "Her face was so pale it was frightening; and there were beads of sweat pouring down her forehead. She couldn't even stand, she was so weak. The sight of her this way terrified me, but for some reason I could not bring myself to look away. She was violently ill, vomiting and scarcely able to catch her breath."
In the absence of direct phrase stealing, both examples are so boilerplate it's difficult to see either as plagiarism.

This was so easy and loved by my son and husband. My son is a very picky eater and he asked me to not forget how to make this one!!! Thanks!
I have made several different recipes of this dish. They were all delicious but missing something. This was outstanding. I will be using this recipe from now on. Everyone at my table rated it 5 stars. thanks for posting.
The one dish I so miss at olive garden! Made this a few times now, and always came out great. Didn't have the wine a few times, still tasted amazing. Thanks!

For decades, it's been the definitive luxury sedan. Not quite ultra-luxury, but a cut above most large sedans. The choice of executives and third-world despots, it announces to the world that you've arrived. Of course, we're talking about the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. And there's a brand-new S-Class on the market now. To the casual observer, the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S550 may not look radically changed from its predecessor, but it has a substantial number of updates over its forebear, but unfortunately, not all of them are standards.
The starting price for the 2014 S550 is $93,825, including $925 destination charge. All S550s come with a twin-turbo 4.7-liter V-8 producing a substantial 449 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. But much beyond that, the options start adding up fast. We were able to bring the tab for our custom-configured S up to $127,324. That included the Sport Package which included 20-inch wheels and sport body styling, adding $6650 to the bottom line. We also added more than $6000 interior upgrades, including the $4500 Premium 1 Package, including front seats with massage, Keyless-Go, Parktronic park assist, power rear window sunshades. Just for the sake of virtual indulgence, we added power outboard rear memory seats for $1515.
We also popped for the $6400 Burmester premium audio system, and rear-seat entertainment system for $2650. Finally, we added the $2800 Driver Assistance Package and the $4450 Magic Body Control system.
Did we really "need" all of those options? No. But does anyone really "need" and S-Class, when you can get a Hyundai Equus or even a Yukon XL or Suburban for far less that would still work perfectly well for executive transport? Check out the S-Class configurator page here to see what six-figure total you can ring up.

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
I got the Playbook NDK mostly working with QtCreator 2.6 but one incredibly annoying issue that persists is that creator itself doesn't pick up the available libs in the NDK. So specifically if I try doing something like "#include <iostream>", I won't get autocomplete, the 'std' namespace won't be detected as being valid, etc.
It compiles and deploys fine though.
Not at all. I am currently using the old precompiled sdk (shame). I hope for official release that would work.

Hi guys,
I'm not sure if this is still relevant but I've set up the environment to be using Qt Creator 2.7 and it works fine.
You simply need to tell QtC where the BB NDK is (yes you will need to install that as well) and give it your keys, debug token etc,
Then it will work, except for auto completion of code.
I followed the guides here and it works well :-)

Subject: Re: Re: [CHAT] chefs
Melody, the restaurant business is another one of those of the haves
and
have nots. If you have noticed the cost of going to lunch has
changed very
little in 20 years or so and wages have remained pretty
stagnant as well.
The quickest way to the top of the food chain is
through one of the elite
(and very expensive) schools such as the
Cordon Bleu in NY or the California
Culinary Academy in SF. I'm sure
you have some in the Midwest but these are
the cream of the crop. The
students do the assigned work for the prescribed
amount of time, a
year and a half I believe, and then do years apprenticing
behind top
chefs in the field. Hopefully if the pupil is creative and is
willing
to work 10-12 hours a day six days a week they will make a name
for
themselves and then break loose and be offered a restaurant that
they will
then be top dog.

The MOST important quality that
chefs are looking for is someone WHO DOES
WHAT THEY ARE TOLD WITHOUT
QUESTION. No going off on their own tangent
because they thought it
was an improvement, no thinking for themselves, none
of that. Do the
same thing over and over and over exactly the same way.
Afterall as a
customer when you go to a restaurant and order something you
don't
want it to look or taste different each time you go in.

The other
way to being a chef (though this will not get the top jobs in
the
country but should provide a descent living and is the avenue
that I took)
is to work under good chefs and getting enough
experience to be offered a
position as chef. The key here is to work
under enough different people to
have a wide range of experience in
many different arenas of the culinary
field. Don't be fooled by
working under one or two different people that
you have well balanced
knowledge. There are so many shortcuts these days
that a person you
think has his act together is really just a shoemaker
(euphemism for
a hacker or bad cook). Knowing that I didn't want to do this
for a li
ving I didn't peruse this as much as I could but I worked
under
French, Italian, Danish, Chinese and Japanese chefs. As I said
it takes
years and many of those years you're making 8 bucks an hour.
Don't be so
loyal to one individual that you are unwilling to move on
to better
yourself. That is really the key to this avenue.

I
guess that is enough. Melody if you or your daughter has other
question
email me off the list and I'll be happy to try and help. One
other very
important note: I've seen many people who were great cooks
at home and
thought they wanted to get into that business. Then they
find out the
reality. It ain't the same thing and not even close. I
used to hate having
some graduates of the academies come in and try
and hang. For them it was
absolute culture shock. One guy literally
went yelling off the line one
Friday night never to be seen
again.

2003 Ford Escort ProblemsThe Constant Control Relay Module May Fail

The CCRM has relays and switches inside that control or provide power to the engine cooling fan, AC clutch (to engage the AC compressor), fuel pump and powertrain control module (PCM). Single switches or relays can fail internally causing a number of different symptoms including no start conditions (inoperative fuel pump or PCM), engine running warm due to inoperative cooling fan, or the AC might not blow cold air.
I purchased my 1998 Ford Escort ZX2 from a private owner. His daughter had been using it to travel back and forth to college. The price was right, and so was the mileage at just 112,000 miles.

One morning when I went out to start it I noticedthat the car was idling very low, below 1,000 RPMs. It actually stalled once or twice. I ruled out an electrical problem ...
If you experience difficulty starting the engine when cold, stalling at idle, or hesitations during acceleration, it may be the idle air bypass valve. This valve helps the vehicle idle steady when the accelerator pedal is not pressed.
