Smoky Corn & Black Bean Pizza 19 The secret to a grilled pizza is having all your ingredients ready to go before you head out to the grill. Make it a meal: Toss the extra black beans, diced tomato and some avocado with prewashed salad greens and a tangy vinaigrette and dinner is on the table in no time.
Grilled Eggplant & Portobello Sandwich 14 Looking for a vegetarian option for your next cookout? This grilled eggplant and portobello sandwich is our answer. For extra flavor, we top it with slices of garden-fresh tomato and spicy arugula. Serve with a mixed green salad.
Tandoori Tofu 13 A tandoori-inspired spice rub and smokiness from the grill flavor these tofu "steaks." While you're there, grill some vegetables, too, to serve alongside. Serve with: Grilled eggplant and cherry tomato skewers and brown basmati rice.
Grilled Eggplant & Tomato Stacks 11 You can grill the eggplant rounds up to a day in advance, then assemble the eggplant, tomato and mozzarella "stacks" at the last minute. To make the eggplant and tomato stacks look symmetrical, use eggplant and tomatoes with approximately the same diameter.
Grilled Eggplant Panini 11 Grilled eggplant is one of life's simpler pleasures: creamy and rich. Look for medium-size, purple eggplants with firm skins and no mushy spots. This end-of-summer treat will be even tastier if you can find the vegetables at a local farmstand--or in your own backyard!
Black Bean Nacho Pizza 11 Break out the napkins! This pie is an over-the-top, vegetarian concoction with black-bean spread, Jack cheese, tomatoes, scallions, olives and pickled jalapenos; it's part nacho, part pizza. For an even more decadent treat, serve with low-fat sour cream. Beer pairing: Spicy foods need spicy beers--go for an India Pale Ale (IPA). If you're not a hop-head, the malty sweetness of brown ales work well with the sweeter elements on the pizza.
Mediterranean Portobello Burger 10 This mushroom sandwich comes topped with a luscious Greek-style salad. Make it a meal: Serve with cucumber spears and a glass of Firestone Gewürztraminer.
Grilled Pizza with Pesto, Tomatoes & Feta 8 Dazzle your guests, and keep the kitchen cool, by baking pizza on the backyard grill. For convenience, this recipe uses prepared pizza dough, found in most supermarkets, and pesto from a jar.
Grilled Portobellos with Chopped Salad 7 This salad of grilled vegetables and beans tossed with lemon and dill tops grilled portobello mushrooms smothered in melted fontina cheese for a healthy vegetarian main course.
Zucchini Salad with Shaved Parmesan 7 Drizzle grilled zucchini with a tangy lemon vinaigrette and it becomes an easy vegetable salad. Want a little heat? Add minced fresh jalapeño.
Grilled Tofu with a Mediterranean Chopped Salad 6 Mild-flavored tofu benefits from this intensely flavored lemon juice-and-garlic-based marinade. If you have the time, marinate the tofu early in the day (up to 8 hours before serving) so it can absorb all the flavors.
Tomato-&-Olive-Stuffed Portobello Caps 6 Portobello caps make excellent mini casseroles. Here, they hold a tomato, cheese and olive stuffing that grills up to a smoky perfection. Serve them with whole-wheat couscous and a mixed green salad for an easy meal.
Grilled Corn with Chipotle-Lime Butter 5 Fresh lime and smoky chipotles makes this compound butter the perfect match for sweet corn. When the corn season is over, try a bit melted on some grilled fish or chicken.
Grilled Eggplant Parmesan Sandwich 5 Our healthier eggplant Parmesan sandwich uses tender, smoky grilled eggplant instead of fried, so it has a fraction of the fat and calories. To make these sandwiches a cinch to prepare, make sure to have all your ingredients ready before you head out to the grill.
Grilled Portobello "Steak" Sandwiches with Blue Cheese Sauce 5 Blue cheese sauce gives these gutsy grilled mushroom sandwiches a classic steakhouse flavor.
Grilled Corn Salad with Black Beans & Rice 4 Southwestern flavors star in this potluck-perfect salad.
Roasted Vegetable & Feta Sandwiches 4 Inspired by that famous New Orleans sandwich, the muffaletta, this jazzy vegetarian version is actually good for you.
Packet-Roasted Balsamic Green Beans & Peppers 4 We love to grill these green-bean-and-bell-pepper packets alongside chicken, steak or pork chops.
Grilled Tomato Gazpacho 3 Grill the vegetables for this refreshing soup earlier in the day or even the night before. We sometimes serve the gazpacho in clear Spanish wine tumblers to show off the rich color.
Margherita Pizz'alad 3 This Italian-flag-inspired Margherita pizza recipe is topped with juicy tomatoes and slices of fresh mozzarella. What could make it better? Adding a salad on top of the pizza to make a pizz'alad. In this case the Margherita pizza is topped with a salad of arugula, basil and parsley tossed with a tangy balsamic vinaigrette. Bread flour gives the pizza crust a crisp and sturdy structure, but all-purpose flour works well in its place. For a gluten-free pizza crust variation, see Tips.

The most dangerous tool
In David DeCristoforo�s blog for Monday (9-22-08), he discussed tool safety. I�m going to pick up on his thread, but I want you to go read his blog first. Go ahead; I�ll wait.
David�s thoughts on the practice of categorizing tools by level of �dangerosity� are spot-on, but I�d like to take it a step further. I think the practice is well intentioned with the overall goal being woodworking safety, but the severely flawed terminology makes any such categorization pointless.�
Could be that when one woodworker speaks about the "most dangerous" tool, he means the one with the highest odds of injury, just as David discussed. The next guy, though, may be thinking that the most dangerous tool is the one with the highest "severity of injury." A third may be referring to "most difficult to use safely." A fourth guy may mean something else. These are all important, but very different, aspects of tool safety and all can describe a particular aspect of danger.
There�s also the fact that even when two woodworkers are thinking of the same definition of �most dangerous,� the actual level of danger will vary depending on the woodworker involved. An example I�ve used before is Sam Maloof�s technique of freehand-cutting rocking chair runners on the band saw � for him the danger level is minimal; for me (and, I suspect, most other woodworkers) it would be extremely high.
And then there are all the variables � a table saw in its own right presents one level of danger; a table saw with an unbalanced blade presents another; a table saw used improperly has a third aspect of danger; and using a table saw while tired, distracted, rushed or, God forbid, drunk throws huge amounts of variables into the mix.
David�s right in that anything can hurt you. He�s doubly right in that the most dangerous tool in the shop is the person using the tool. I would add a third observation.
When you engage in woodworking without being constantly aware of the potential danger surrounding you at all times, you�re guaranteed to make it even more dangerous.
Till next time,

The Middle of Nowhere
Posted July 5, 2007
Filed under: Meta |
Filed under: Meta |
I just wanted to warn all those interested that admining will likely be slower than usual this weekend. I have to make a trip to the middle of nowhere. The only internet connection I'm likely to have will be in my hotel room. Even there, I'm rather worried that the connection will be so awful that I won't be able to handle anything but the simplest tasks.
Actually, the worst part may be that the nearest brewery is hours away.
On the upside, though, the long travel time is likely to be spent hacking at new features. (Provided I don't find myself stuck without documentation, of course.) So, hopefully, you all can look forward to new things next week.

National Hubs - Cambodia
The Cooperation Committee for Cambodia (CCC) convened the Beyond 2015 hub in Cambodia. Contact person: Soeung Saroeun
Numerous activities were carried out by Beyond 2015 in Cambodia, including:
- Lobbying of the United Nation Country Team (UNCT), development partners and embassies to push the government of Cambodia to commit to the post-2015 agenda: public campaign conducted through radio, press releases, university campaigns and biking around the capital city to call for public attention on the post-2015 agenda in Cambodia.
- Two regional and one national consultation workshops on the post-2015 agenda conducted in 2013 with support from the UNCT and provincial NGO networks- final report available here. Participants at the three workshops jointly released a communique callling for the government and development parters to commit towards the post-2015 development framework with genuine and meaningful partnerships.
- Meetings with relevant stakeholders such as government line ministries (especially the Ministry of Planning and Council of Minister), local and international NGOs, development partners and private sector to update them on progress towards the the MDGs in Cambodia (CMDG) and on the post-2015 agenda.

This double-headed model is a perfect choice for a classical concert use.Proportional sizing, oak shell and YESS III Mount System give this instrument a unity in tone and abundant sustain, resulting in extraordinary range of expressivity.(Complete series shown in image - stands not included)
Size StructureWe adopted a size structure based on the proportional relation between diameter and depth, which is For every 1 inch increase in diameter, increase the depth by 1/2 inch. As a result, we successfully achieved the classical tone and lingering depth which is fundamentally different from that of existing concert toms. Solving a conventional problem that tonal colour and length of sustain differ between toms, this model offers a perfect unity in tone and sustain as a whole set, which gives you a higher level of expressivity. It also has a wide tuning range from high to low register to allow you to produce various types of sound that is required in classical music.* 6-inch diameter tom is designed with shallow depth with its special use in mind.YESS III MountThe YESS mount system has evolved once again, delivering further improvements in tonal purity and open sound without compromising the natural resonance of the shell in any way. And as with previous YESS systems the drum attaches securely to the stand.Oak ShellsOak shells deliver sharp, powerful attack, impressive tonal depth, and beautifully balanced sustain. The exterior finish emphasises the oak grain for elegant visual appeal.

xfce is "The Cholesterol Free Desktop Environment" for your computer. It's a lightweight desktop that uses GTK and looks vaguely like CDE. It looks reasonably good on your screen, and takes very little memory.
It comprises a window manager, a panel (which doesn't handle icons), a rudimentary file manager, and a few more drag and drop applications.
The window manager (XFWM) is adapted from FVWM, but apparently a rather old one (for instance, it doesn't do sloppy focus). But unlike most FVWM variants, you're not supposed to launch applications from its menus; instead, you should use the panel.
The panel is XFCE proper. It includes a pager for your virtual desktops, a clock, buttons to lock the screen and configure the environment, and CDE-like "drawers" which can launch applications (instead of using menus). These menus are quite limited, since you can't have submenus.
All in all, XFCE is a very lightweight environment, which is designed to be configurable with a mouse only (without editing text files directly). It's not KDE, being much smaller, and it's not FVWM2, being much easier to configure (and having the panel thingy). It is what it is.
The new version of XFCE, known quite creatively as xfce4 (4.4 being the most recent release), is similar in look and feel to the earlier version. However, it includes numerous other features which make it far more flexible and customizable than earlier releases.
Among XFCE4's most notable features include two different panel-menu applets which provide Start-menu styled menus. The first one provides a menu in the style of that seen in KDE or Windows NT 4.0, with the same contents as the right-click desktop menu (which makes its triumphant return). The other panel-menu applet provides a Windows XP-type menu, though this is pretty beta and a major pain to set up for now (Even the Debian, Gentoo and Solaris-Blastwave packages don't get this right). Expect the XP-oid menu to be better in the future, but for now the classic style menu is the preferred one. The stock panel doesn't have either menu applet, but it can be added with just a few mouse clicks. Also new in XFCE4 are panel-based monitoring applets, a mini command line, numerous clocks and both graphical and CDE-style desktop switchers. Other panel plugins have been written by third parties.
As of version 4.4, XFCE ships with a new file manager, called Thunar. Thunar's look and feel is quite similar to Nautilus, with an icon-based view or list view, and a left-hand pane holding 'favorites', somewhat akin to NeXTSTEP's shelf. XFCE also integrates well with other file managers like ROX, XFE or Nautilus. It works passably, though somewhat less well, with Konqueror. As far as integration goes, XFCE is based on the GTK2 toolkit and as such integrates well with GTK2 (and GNOME) applications. Its 'default' web browser is usually Firefox, though Opera, Epiphany, Mozilla SeaMonkey, Konqueror, Galeon or even Elinks could be used instead.
It comes in at least five pre-packaged forms that I know of: The XFLD (XFce Live Desktop) distribution for Debian Linux (grade: A), the Xubuntu Linux distribution (A+), the Gentoo ebuilds for Gentoo Linux (A-), the Blastwave packages for Solaris (B+) and the graphical installers from OS-Cillation (B+). Of course, the source code and some RPMs are available from xfce.org, too.
If you use Debian (Sarge, Etch or Sid), installing it is as easy as adding the XFLD repositories to your sources.list (check out OS-Cillation for info on how), then running 'apt-get update; apt-get -y install xfld-desktop'. It should now be available as a session choice from GDM. Log in and enjoy!
On Gentoo, you need only 'emerge xfce4'. That's it. It takes longer, as it has to build everything from source, but the result is usually pretty quick.
On Solaris 8, 9 or 10, add the pkg-get tool from Blastwave, then do 'pkg-get install xfce4'. This should also add XFCE as a session choice in DTlogin, though if you toss that barfucious piece of slow, ugly junk in favor of GDM or KDM, you'll have to add the session manually.
On other platforms, try the graphical installers. These extract themselves, then build the installer from source (!) and run it, walking the user through the process of building XFCE from source. They actually make the process easy enough for newbies, unless something goes wrong. These installers work fine on Red Hat Linux, Solaris 10, FreeBSD 6.x and NetBSD 2.x and 3.x, though it takes some demon-wrestling to work right on OpenBSD. I haven't tried it on other platforms such as Mac OS X, AIX, Solaris 2.6 or IRIX, but theoretically these installers ought to work anywhere you can build XFCE from source.
There are official Debian packages for XFCE, too. The ones for Stable and Testing are for XFCE 4.0, however. The packages for Unstable are 4.2, but include fewer extras than XFLD. Just apt-get install xfce4 without adding the XFLD repositories if you want these. They /do/ have the advantage of being official, which means better supported. There are SuSE packages for XFCE as well, however, I was forced to build it from source in order to get version 4.4

The Top 25 People Crippling Scientology
We're starting something new here at Runnin' Scared. From our underground bunker, where we keep an eye on all things Scientology, we've been stunned to see how hard things have been for the venerable church lately.
From surveys which suggest membership is dwindling, to a mass exodus that is taking loyal longtime parishioners into the open arms of an independence movement, to the unceasing efforts of Scientologists themselves to paint their own efforts in the worst possible light, this is an organization seemingly in a tailspin.
Of course, our own loyal readers know that Scientology leader David Miscavige's current headaches are nothing new and were a long time coming. From the dawn of Scientology's e-meter fever-dreams, there has always been internal strife, external criticism, and all kinds of nasty litigation when it comes to L. Ron Hubbard's creation. So who should get the credit -- and who the blame -- for the sinking morass that is Scientology today? In the coming weeks, we're doing a countdown to reveal our picks for those most responsible. Naturally, we're looking forward to your thoughts about our choices in our comments section.
First up, at #25, is a fellow we hope someday to meet. For now, however, he's something of an enigma...
#25: Xenu, Galactic Overlord
[Not sure who "Xenu" is? Please see the "Special Update" below.]

It's hard to blame Xenu, the mighty celestial dictator, for infesting our planet with innumerable hungry alien souls. I mean, what would you do if you were overseeing a galactic federation of planets so overpopulated, each world had something like 150 billion sentient creatures? Obviously, 75 million years ago, contraception was not well known. Or something.
Anyway, Xenu often gets a bad rap for vaporizing billions of alien beings on Teegeeack, which we call Earth today, and then inventing concepts like "Jesus Christ" to implant in their bodiless minds.
But we think it's time Xenu got more credit for all that he's done. Think about it, for about 19 years, after L. Ron Hubbard dreamed the sucker up in a pill-popping and boozy haze while sailing the Atlantic and Mediterranean in the mid-1960s, until the Los Angeles Times finally made Xenu's story public during the Larry Wollersheim trial in 1986, only high-level Scientologists even knew that the alien leader existed.
UPDATE: Ah, the beauty of a blog -- instant updating! Maybe for many of us the L.A. Times was our first glimpse of our mighty galactic hero, but I've just been reminded that one of the giants of Scientology reporting, Richard Leiby, beat the Times by five years!
From his 1981 article in the Clearwater Sun:
That was when Xemu, the evil ruler of the Galactic Confederation, concluded that the 90 - planet confederation was overpopulated. "Finally Xemu decided to take radical measures to overcome the population problem," says the material. "The planet Earth was designated as a place for executions. Beings were captured on other planets as well as on this planet and flown to locations near 10 volcanos or more on Earth. H-bombs (far more powerful than any in existence today) were dropped on the volcanoes destroying the bodies of the beings, who as thetans attached themselves to one another in clusters.
And so on. Leiby had that down cold. And he paid for it later, as we wrote about here recently. OK, end of update...
Thanks to numerous court cases, many key defections, and most importantly, the Internet, Xenu has gone from one of Scientology's most well-kept secrets to one if its most well-known icons. Today, even folks who don't know a lot about Scientology and couldn't pick Scientology leader David Miscavige out of a lineup still have a vague idea that John Travolta and Tom Cruise worship some sort of an alien tentacled lord. (Thank you, South Park!)
But it takes more than causing some snickers and giggles to make this formidable list, and so we'll lay out now what it is about Xenu that has given Scientology a hard time.
For this Scientology watcher, there's almost nothing more cringe-inducing than watching a Scientology official, in a public setting or on camera, attempt to handle a question about Xenu and other secret teachings of Scientology's upper levels. I mean, just watch Tommy Davis as he dealt with such a query from CNN's John Roberts three years ago (fast forward to the 5:30 mark for the real fun):
Just think for a moment about Tommy's reply: "John, does that sound silly to you?"
Well, yes, Tommy. That's why we love the Xenu story so much. It's Davis who looks silly, though, when he calls "unrecognizable" the concept of body thetans -- Hubbard's idea that the disembodied souls left behind by Xenu attach themselves to human beings and can only be removed through Scientology's auditing. Time and again, Scientology officials are made to look silly when they not only deny the Xenu story but try to act like they've never even heard of it before.
I've never understood why Scientology spokespeople don't handle the Xenu question this way:
"John, you know, there have been a lot of press reports about this space opera material, and it got made fun of on South Park, and on the Internet people discuss it like they know what they're talking about. But honestly, there's a reason we ask people to spend a lot of time doing sophisticated training so that our highly technical material makes sense for them. Anyone outside that process will never really understand what it is we're talking about."
Wouldn't that be a smarter approach? Wouldn't it make sense for a spokesman to at least acknowledge the existence of the Xenu story rather than to keep bluffing through interviews with total denial?
Oh, well wait. Tommy Davis did seem to acknowledge the Xenu story once, to Nathan Baca, a young reporter who was at the ABC affiliate in Palm Springs, KESQ, in 2009 and got Davis to say, "yes, I'm familiar with that material" when he started reading Hubbard's handwritten OT III materials out loud. I found this compilation video which illustrates Tommy's flip flop quite well:
Some of my sources have suggested to me that Tommy's little slip, acknowledging the OT III materials and the Xenu story, even in this rather off-hand way, is what has Tommy seemingly out of favor today. The man was a ubiquitous presence for Scientology a few years ago, but today is hardly seen or heard.
Well, maybe there is no good way for Scientology to handle the Xenu story. They can't really talk about it publicly, because they want parishioners to pay something like $350,000 to $400,000 before they are exposed to it and the rest of the OT levels, according to calculations published recently by scholar Hugh Urban. But as long as they deny it outright, they look like fools.
Xenu sort of has them by the short hairs, doesn't he? What a devilish figure he is.
Next week, get ready for more of our countdown. Who's at #24? Our only hint: it's time for school.
SPECIAL UPDATE: For those who are not sure who "Xenu" is and what the heck this is all about.
In the comments, we were called out for being a bit too flip in this entry, and for assuming that our readers are all well aware of Scientology's basic concepts and controversies. Fair enough. We don't want to leave anyone behind, and the more folks who join us in this conversation, the better. So here's our attempt at a primer to bring everyone up to speed...
Only those Scientologists who have been training in the organization for several years, and have spent something like $250,000 on various services and training programs, will reach an "upper level" set of materials that are known as "Operating Thetan III," or OT III.
As numerous court cases and countless defections by high-level members has established beyond any doubt, the contents of OT III contain Scientology's origin story of human kind -- its Genesis, as it were.
In those materials, Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard explains that 75 million years ago, a galactic overlord ruling a 76-planet federation had decided to deal with an overpopulation problem by having billions of alien creatures brought to the planet Teegeeack, which we call Earth today. That overlord, who Hubbard names Xenu or Xemu, then blew up the countless aliens with hydrogen bombs, and then trapped their remaining souls, indoctrinating these souls with the use of 3D movies of a sort, and then set them free to wander the planet.
75 million years later, these bodiless, invisible alien souls have attached themselves to us. You might have hundreds in and around your body, and they give you aches and pains, cause you disease, and generally hold you back from your full potential.
Scientologists who have learned this secret then set out on even more expensive therapy (called "auditing") to clear themselves of these alien entities, which are known as "body thetans." Larry Wollersheim, a former Scientologist who successfully sued the church for fraud, described that process to me:
"At OT III, you find out that you're really thousands of individual beings struggling for control of your body. Aliens left over from space wars that are giving you cancer or making you crazy or making you impotent. The reason for every bad thing in your life is these alien beings," Wollersheim says. "I went psychotic on OT III. I lost a sense of who I was." Years can be spent removing these aliens--called "body thetans" or "BT's" --- by talking to and about these supposed hitchhiking entities while holding onto a device called an "e-meter." "You're talking to thousands of beings. They have histories. And anger. They're complex personalities." Eventually, however, Wollersheim graduated to a level where he believed he had finally eradicated all of the thetans from his body. "You think you've made it. You're free of all these beings. But then Hubbard releases the second big secret [on a level called "New Era Dianetics for Operation Thetans," also called "NED for OTs" or "NOTs."] He tells you there are far more of these beings than anyone ever dreamed of. Inside those original thetans are clusters of other beings. Beings that are eight feet from you, floating near you all the time. Beings miles away from you that are still connected with you. Beings in the television, and you're told that watching television will wake them up, so you're told not to watch TV. If OT III made some people nuts, NOTs really drove them over the edge," he says.
So to be clear, Scientologists do not "worship" Xenu. He is the big bad guy in their origin story -- and it's an origin story that only a minority of parishioners are even aware of, only those who have paid enough money to reach the upper level of OT III (the highest level is OT VIII). Beginning Scientologists are strictly kept in the dark about this material, and are told to avoid any mention of it on the Internet.
There is much more about OT III and the other upper levels that we can't touch on in this brief overview, but this should help anyone new to Scientology's teachings keep up with our countdown and most other posts here at Runnin' Scared.

Vasque Exodus GTX
A great, versatile approach, scrambling, whatever…
Materials: Split leather

A great, versatile approach, scrambling, whatever boot (not for backpacking, though).
Mid-high cut provides great support, but it's still light enough to perform almost as well as a trail runner. Very sticky soles. No break in needed.
Gore-tex "booty" has been keeping my feet dry for the 9 or 10 months I've owned them (except when the water comes in over the top after walking through too deep streams!)
Highly recommended - prices should be coming down.

Zoe Hart (Rachel Bilson) may have ended "Hart of Dixie" Season 2 in NYC, but she's making her way back to Bluebell for Season 3 — thank goodness!
Not only will Zoe find herself back in Bluebell, the premiere, titled "Southern Comfort Zone," will also introduce two new recurring characters, TVLine reports. Joel, a quintessential New York artist, passes through the charming southern town to get some inspiration for his latest book but finds that he may not want to leave so soon. Lynly, Lavon's spoiled, cluless cousin, arrives to town in the hopes of mending her broken heart. But it turns out that she's not as dumb as she lets everyone think. Who wants to bet these two are going to cause some trouble — romantically, of course — for our favorite Bluebell residents?
"Hart of Dixie" returns on an all-new night this fall on Monday, Oct. 7 at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.

The Robert E. Doherty Award for Sustained Contributions to Excellence in Education
2016 Doherty Award Recipient
Eric W. Grotzinger
Professor Emeritus, Department of Biological Sciences
Eric W. Grotzinger currently serves as senior advisor in the Division of Campus Affairs. In this capacity, he is working on the university's persistence initiative. This program aims to maximize the number of students that start college at Carnegie Mellon and persist to graduation. He also serves as faculty athletic representative to the University Athletic Association and the NCAA.
Grotzinger has been a member of the Carnegie Mellon community since 1979. He served as assistant and then associate department head of Biological Sciences overseeing the graduate and undergraduate programs for 11 years. During that time, he helped to increase both the undergraduate and graduate enrollment in biological sciences and to increase the number of students who participated in undergraduate research. His most substantive tenure was for 24 years as associate dean of the Mellon College of Science (1991-2015).

"Presenze" consolle, 2012
Nucleo_Piergiorgio Robino + Alice Carlotta Occleppo
epoxy resin and pigment
100×30×80 cm
Unique pieces exclusive for Nilufar Gallery
Presenze as evidence of past lives.
Presenze as ethereal, floating like ghosts.
Presenze as absence and immaterial substance.
Presenze and absence, appearance and immateriality, historical and afterlife forms.
This is the inspiration for the latest research project of Nucleo.
The Presenze collection is a testimony of past lives, the evolution of obsolete objects.
The glories of the nineteenth-century baroque structures has been re-designed into minimalistic shapes,
given a strong characteristic from its material, resin.
Nucleo has filtered disused names and experiences, re-worked old pieces of furniture such as consoles, desks, bedside tables and fireplace chairs.
The furniture is both ancient and contemporary, revived and restored into new life.
With the Presenze collection, Nucleo has created decorative etherneal objects floating through space.
A game of presence and absence, of lightness and weight, challenging the laws of gravity.
The balance is made even more precarious by the milkiness of the resin, permeable to light.
It's a fascination for the transition, from liquid to solid, from past to present.
And the lack of assemblage is one of the strong characteristics of Presenze.
Each cube, a fragment, giving a sense to the deconstruction.
The objects from other eras are in this sense apparitions ready to dissolve and split, in the struggle between material and spirit.
The cubes, 5×5 cm, are cast in epoxy resin and together create the object.
They are assembled by hand, giving balance between body and space, where individual fragments develop its own intensity –
capable of capturing light and gaze – which goes beyond their function in the context of composition.

Nov. 7, 2012
The Providence College men's and women's cross country teams are competing at the NCAA Regional Championship held in Madison, Conn. on Friday, Nov. 9. The race will be hosted by Yale University.
The No. 28 Friar women have had a full two weeks to prepare for the 6K course that is scheduled to start at 12:00 p.m. The team placed fifth of 36 teams last year.
The Friars will be led by freshman Sarah Mary Collins (Basel, Switzerland). Collins has been the Friar's top-finisher in the past three races she has competed in, including a second place finish at the BIG EAST Championship on Oct. 26. Collins received All-BIG EAST honors for her top-15 finish. Senior Shelby Greany (Suffern, N.Y.) and junior Laura Nagel (Napier, New Zealand) also received All-BIG EAST honors, finishing fifth and 11th, respectively. They will be joining Collins at Regionals. At last year's event, Greany and Nagel were among the team's top-five finishers. Nagel finished sixth, which was second on the team, and Greany finished 25th, which was fifth on the team.
Juniors Emily Sisson (Chesterfield, Mo.) and Grace Thek (Melbourne, Australia), and senior Sam Roecker (Charlton, N.Y.) also will be among the team travelling to the championships. At the BIG EAST Championship, Roecker placed in the Friar's top-five, finishing 24th and 4th on the team. Last year at the regional championship, Sisson was the top-finisher for the women's team, placing fourth overall. Thek finished 32nd.
The Friars also will be bringing freshmen Molly Keating (Rehoboth, Mass.) and Katie Sischo (Jamesville, N.Y.) to round out their squad. These newcomers both made their first appearances at New Hampshire, and placed in the top-10 overall. They also competed at the conference championship and earned their spots for the trip to Madison. Keating finished fifth for the team and 38th overall. Sischo finished 54th.
The men's 10K is scheduled to start at 1:15 p.m.
Last year, the Friars finished fourth out of 33 teams and earned a bid to the NCAA Championships. Sophomore Shane Quinn (Waterford, Ireland) finished 17th behind former Friars Dominic Channon and David McCarthy. At BIG EAST's, Quinn was again the top-finisher for the Friars with a second place finish.
The experienced runners joining Quinn are seniors Ahmed Ali (Boston, Mass.) and Alex Wallace (Waipukurau, New Zealand). At last year's event, Ali placed in the team's top-five, finishing 39th. Wallace finished 109th. However, at this year's conference championship, Walace finished 12th, which was second on the team.
Junior Jonathan Hopkins (Bridgend, Wales), sophomores Benjamin Connor (Derby, England) and Liam Hillery (Smithfield, R.I.), and freshmen Christian Costello (Ridgewood, N.J.) and Harvey Dixon (Aldershot, England) round out the squad headed to Regionals. At the conference championsip, Hopkins finished third for the men's team and 27th overall. Dixon and Costello also were on the team that raced at the BIG EAST Championship. Dixon finished 30th (fourth on the team) and Costello finished 46th.

As Bernie watched the escape pod carrying Peg and Clutch blast away, a tear formed in his eye. "Oh Peg!" he cried. "Oh brother." sighed Brick.
Clutch was hurriedly searching the pod for a way of finding out how to control the craft. "I hope Artie didn't forget..." His gaze came to rest on a yellow sticky note. "Whew!" he exclaimed, "for a second there I thought we would have no idea how to drive this thing!" Then he read the note:
I must remember to make myself some
Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches!
Oh how I love them!
"Artie!" he yelled.
The evil villain was upset. The video cameras that were installed so that he could monitor the team's activity were only in the ship itself, not the escape pods. If you want something done right, then you must do it yourself, the criminal thought. Oh well. The master plan would soon begin and then that unfit team would be torn apart one brick at a time..
As Bernie was worrying about Peg, and Brick was muttering to himself about riding solo next time, Clutch and Peg were trying to find the instructions to the craft. "Find anything over there?" cried Peg from the back of the pod. "No! Any luck over there?" "I'm afraid not." said Peg. "Well then", Clutch sighed, "I guess it's up to me to figure it out by myself. Unless you want to give it a shot." Peg smiled "No, no it's all yours Clutch."
"Will ya come up here and give me a hand already?" yelled Brick. He was becoming tired of trying to operate the escape pod himself. Bernie didn't answer, still staring out the window towards the receding form of the pod that held Peg, the girl of his dreams. "Bernie!" Brick shouted, "Are you even listening to me?". Bernie finally turned, "Er, Vhat did you say Brick?". Brick shot Bernie a look. "I said, can you give me a hand up here?" he replied. Bernie attempted a feeble smile. "Sure thing pal" he said as he detached one of his hands and tossed it up to Brick. It landed on the control panel with a loud thump. Brick swiveled his chair and glared at Bernie. "Sorry?", Bernie whispered.
Things were looking much better now. The ship was under control now that Clutch, who had inherited his father's skills for adventure, had figured out the basic layout of the steering system of the escape pod. "Pretty good, huh?" Clutch grinned at Peg, sitting next to him in the co-pilot chair. She smiled back, "Not bad for a guy. I could have handled it myself though." Clutch gave her a mock frown. "I thought we had this covered!", he sighed, "We all need to work as a team. If we use our talents and work together, nothing can stop us.". Peg couldn't help it as a grin came to her face. Clutch had a certain leadership quality that made people listen to him. "Well Mr. Hot Shot," Peg joked, "now what?". "We start looking for a planet to land on." answered Clutch
They were on the ground. That was the only good thing Bernie could see in their current situation. Brick had piloted the pod, with Bernie's help, for what seemed like hours before they had crashed onto this planet. It was a beautiful planet. Terrifyingly beautiful. The cliff they had managed to land on (or crash on, in Bernie's opinion), was made of sheer ice. It sparkled in the radiant light that surrounded the planet. Brick had tried to contact the others with the pod's communication system, but it seemed to have been damaged in the crash landing. They were on their own now. "Hey Bird Brain!". Brick's shout interrupted Bernie's thoughts and he looked up with a start. "Vhat? Vhat is it?" he replied. Brick walked over, "We need to find shelter before nightfall..", his voice took on a frightening tone. "Who knows what vicious creatures might be lurking in the shadows right now, just waiting till nightfall to sink their horrible teeth into you!" Bernie quickly glanced around the icy cliff, peering into the shadows for a glimpse at one of these 'creatures'. Brick walked off, chuckling to himself. Bernie watched him go, then looked around the shadowy cliff again. It was growing darker out quickly, it seemed to him. He stood, preparing to follow Brick, when he heard something, a noise. It came from behind him, from the shadows, "Grrrr". Bernie didn't look back as he hurriedly followed after his only companion. "Brick! Vait for meeee!"
**AUTHORS NOTE** I am working on finishing this story, and I plan to finish it soon. I might not be able to access this account for awhile though, but know that there will be more chapters added...I just dont know when. PLEASE REVIEW!

In case you weren't aware of the impact you had, just by getting up and doing your dirty business, this notification at a 38 stop was there to remind you that we are indeed a 'mission' of negligent monkeys when it comes to dealing with this planet.

Sooooooooo, what are we supposed to do, not take a dump?
Considering that Japanese scientists have learned how to make edible meat out of poop sewage, I dispute this person's claim. Science 1, Hipster 0.
I'm betting that somewhere down the line, a splinter group of Vegans will decide to "eat only what we need" and will thus remove crap and its impact on the planet. Of course, they'll all probably die a month after conversion, so it'll be a win all around.

Long, Hot Summer In Indiana
It was 1924 and the Klan was riding high. The author's father, a congressman, wouldn't join, and this Is how It felt to be an outcast In one's own home town that
August 1965 | Volume 16, Issue 5
When I think of the nineteen twenties, I think of the heat of summers in southern Indiana where I spent my vacations from Harvard. They were mostly happy summers, but there was one that was not—the summer of 1924, which came at the end of my freshman year. It glows luridly in my memory, an ordeal by fire through which I had to pass in the process of growing up.
We drove home to Evansville that year from Washington, B.C., in mid-June, my father and mother and sister and I, in the family Hudson. I had taken the Federal Express down from Boston as soon as my exams were over, and the next day we left the capital, where my father had just finished his first term as a congressman from Indiana. I was pleased with myself, secretly but no doubt obviously, for surviving the year at Harvard fresh and green out of a midwestern high school, and I was proud of my father for his record as a freshman in Congress.
We sweltered all the way home, across Maryland and Pennsylvania and Ohio and on into Indiana, the sun burning bright little braziers of blinding fire all around us on the nickel trimmings of the Hudson as we raced across the countryside at my father's touring speed of thirty-eight miles an hour. "Is it hot enough for you?" the filling-station men invariably said when we pulled up for gas; and in the tourist homes where we stopped, we kept the electric fans going all night. But I did not mind the heat. A Hoosier boy, I had been miserably cold in New England all winter, and homesick too. When we crossed the state line east of Richmond, I remember, we all sang "Back Home Again in Indiana," unashamedly sentimental.
On our arrival in Evansville, there was the old house on Chandler Avenue to explore and readjust to, and there were all my stored possessions to sort over and reappraise: adolescent love letters hidden in the secret compartment of my roll-top desk, minutes of the club I had belonged to in high school, yearbooks, dance programs, my rock collection, and even a bag of marbles from grade-school days, with an agate mooned by many battles. I thought I had outgrown them all but discovered I could not throw anything away. Eighteen is an age that looks both ways. There were also those first home-cooked meals after a year of institutional fare, and there was the impatient waiting, all that long first day, to see an old high-school friend whom I shall call Link Patterson. Link had not gone to college and had a job, like any grown man; he would not be at home till suppertime.
After supper I walked over to Link's house. The moist, hot air was fragrant with the smell of the Ohio River and new-cut grass, and catbirds mewed in the bushes under front porches, where people sat in swings and rockers and said "Good evening" as I passed. But I was thinking of Link Patterson. Four years before, Link and I had bought our first long pants on the same day. We had double-dated in his father's car and in my father's as soon as we were old enough to drive. We had survived Miss Long in Latin together, and Mr. Baldwin in trig. We had tried out for the senior play and failed, and tried out for basketball and made the squad, though never the team. We had even had one glorious, bloody fight and afterward, for six weeks, walked to high school and back together without speaking to each other. We were the best of friends.
But the Link Patterson who met me on his front porch that night was not the Link Patterson I remembered. He looked the same and he greeted me in the old way, by cracking me hard on the biceps with his fist as I came up the porch steps. But he was not the old Link Patterson. Nor were his parents the same. I had loved his mother almost as much as I loved my own, and his father—garrulous, bawdy, and uninhibited—had always given me a man-to-man feeling that I had never shared with my own more dignified father. But that night Mrs. Patterson was restrained and formal and seemed only half-glad to see me, and Mr. Patterson said almost nothing at all. I remember especially how they watched me, as if they were waiting to accuse me of something that they knew about but I did not.
The four of us sat on Link's porch for a while exchanging banalities. It was hot; we all agreed on that. In Boston, I told them, the winters were very cold. Yes, Harvard played basketball, but it wasn't Indiana basketball, and I bet our old team at Central could beat the Harvard varsity without half trying. Did I know they were building a new high school out on Washington Avenue? And what did I think of Tunney's chances against Carpentier? But we never got down to fundamentals, like girls or whether Billy Little's new band was as good as Hoagy Carmichael's up at Indiana University, and at the end of a half hour, Link said, "I'm sorry, Bill, but Mom and Dad and I have to be somewhere at eight o'clock," and I left and walked home, disappointed and puzzled.
My sister said I had outgrown Link Patterson, and that made me angry because it implied that I had become a snob or something. But my mother said it was sometimes hard to renew an old acquaintance, and she was sure Link and I would be back on the old basis soon. My father said nothing. He sat in the porch swing drumming his fingers on the arm of it in the way that made my mother nervous, until my mother finally said, "Will, I wish you wouldn't do that," and he got up and said he had to go down to the office, and wouldn't I like to come along?

JRPG fans wanting their next JRPG fix have been patiently waiting for Tales of the Abyss 3DS's release next month. However, it seems they will have to wait a little bit more, as Namco Bandai has just announced that Tales of the Abyss 3DS has been delayed indefinitely.
Tales of the Abyss was originally released on the PS2 on December 15, 2005 and was localized in North America on October 10, 2006. The game was regarded as an improvement over Tales of Symphonia, extending that game's multi-line battle system into a battle system which allows players to freely move about the field in battle.
Namco Bandai didn't state the exact reason for the delay, so it's not currently known if this was due to a game-breaking bug, which have occurred occasionally with prior games or because of the recent earthquake and tsunami disaster in Japan, as Tales of the Abyss featured parts of the land being ripped up a number of times throughout the game.
In their statement, Namco Bandai didn't state a new release date for the game but did state that they would release new information when they could.

Keep the snow white I could buy it by the bundle
Stuff your cookies up for they crumble.
Don't be actin' like the cardinals and gone fumble (fumble).
'Cause I'm a steeler fresh up out the dealer.
All the dope boys gone feel her. Flow so sick I need a healer.

I be out in queens on the back of fort weep weep da weep da wheelers I'm a big bill.
That's why I get more head than a pig tail.
