Three more films from this month's Sundance Film Festival will have an immediate VOD debut out of this year's event. Coming to Rainbow Media's Sundance Selects label (run by IFC Films) during the Sundance fest are Michael Winterbottom and Mat Whitecross's "Shock Doctrine," Benny Safdie and Josh Safdie's "Daddy Longlegs" (formerly known as "Go Get Some Rosemary"), and Daniel Grau's "Les 7 Jours du Talion" (7 Days).
The announcement comes in the wake of the recent news that Linas Philips's "Bass Ackwards," from the festival's NEXT section for lower budget movies, will debut digitally the day after the festival closes.
Dubbed, "Direct from the Sundance Film Festival," the Sundance Selects initiative will make the three films available to 40 million cable households for thirty days, starting on the day that each movie debuts at the festival.
Winterbottom and Whitecross' "Shock Doctrine," which screened at the Berlinale last year, is debuting in a new version at Sundance on Thurday, January 28th as part of a special "night of ideas" at the fest.
The Safdie's "Daddy Longlegs," starring Ronald Bronstein, was known as "Get Get Some Rosemary" when it debuted in Cannes last year. It is described as, "A swan song to excuses and responsibilities, to fatherhood and self-created experiences, and to what it's like to be truly torn between being a child and being an adult." Meanwhile, Grou's "7 Days" – from Canada – is described as, "A doctor seeks revenge by kidnapping, torturing and killing the man who murdered his young daughter." Both films will debut on VOD on Friday, January 22nd when they first screen at Sundance.

This report describes the historical weather record at the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States) during 1965. This station has records back to December 1947.
Minneapolis, Minnesota has a humid continental climate with hot summers and no dry season. The area within 25 mi of this station is covered by croplands (67%), built-up areas (18%), forests (9%), and lakes and rivers (5%)
Daylight saving time (DST) was observed at Minneapolis, Minnesota during 1965. There were two time changes during 1965:
1965 was not a leap year, so it has 365 days and no February 29th. The first leap year before 1965 was 1964 and the first after was 1968.
The summer and winter solstices and the spring and fall equinoxes mark the passing of the seasons. They fall on nearly the same day each year, with differences of a day or two depending on the year. In 1965 they occurred on:
Spring Equinox | Saturday, 20 March 1965. |
Summer Solstice | Monday, 21 June 1965. |
Fall Equinox | Thursday, 23 September 1965. |
Winter Solstice | Wednesday, 22 December 1965. |
The hottest day of 1965 was July 23, with a high temperature of 95°F. For reference, on that day the average high temperature is 84°F and the high temperature exceeds 92°F only one day in ten. The hottest month of 1965 was July with an average daily high temperature of 79°F.
Relative to the average, the hottest day was October 18. The high temperature that day was 80°F, compared to the average of 57°F, a difference of 23°F. In relative terms the warmest month was December, with an average high temperature of 34°F, compared to an typical value of 27°F.
The longest warm spell was from December 1 to December 14, constituting 14 consecutive days with warmer than average high temperatures. The month of December had the largest fraction of warmer than average days with 90% days with higher than average high temperatures.
The coldest day of 1965 was February 2, with a low temperature of -26°F. For reference, on that day the average low temperature is 8°F and the low temperature drops below -10°F only one day in ten. The coldest month of 1965 was January with an average daily low temperature of 2°F.
Relative to the average, the coldest day was March 20. The low temperature that day was -8°F, compared to the average of 27°F, a difference of 35°F. In relative terms the coldest month was March, with an average low temperature of 14°F, compared to an typical value of 25°F.
The longest cold spell was from March 14 to April 6, constituting 24 consecutive days with cooler than average low temperatures. The month of September had the largest fraction of cooler than average days with 90% days with lower than average low temperatures.
The longest freezing spell was from March 15 to March 30, constituting 16 consecutive days with temperatures strictly below freezing.
The clearest month of 1965 was July, with 55% of days being more clear than cloudy. The longest spell of clear weather was from January 26 to January 31, constituting 6 consecutive days that were clearer than they were cloudy.
The cloudiest month of 1965 was September, with 53% of days being more cloudy than clear. The longest spell of cloudy weather was from September 17 to September 22, constituting 6 consecutive days that were cloudier than they were clear.
This station reports both the quantity of liquid precipitation and categorical observations of precipitation (e.g., moderate rain, or heavy snow). Both are subject to erroneous reports, but the former is particularly prone to false reports, especially ones indicating an excessive quantity of precipitation. Please bear this in mind when reading the extrema reported in this section.
The day with the largest quantity of precipitation was June 1. That day saw 0.933" of liquid (or liquid equivalent) precipitation, compared to a median value of 0.168". The month with the most precipitation was September, with 2.220", compared to a median value of 2.484".
As determined by quantitative measurements, the longest dry spell was from October 21 to November 8, constituting 19 consecutive days with no measured precipitation. The month with the largest fraction of dry days was October, with 87% of days reporting no measured precipitation at all.
The month with the largest fraction of days with at least some measured precipitation was April, with 53% of days reporting some measured precipitation.
This station reports when significant weather events (including precipitation) are visually observed at or near the station. Such events do not always correspond to measured quantities of liquid equivalent precipitation, such as when the event is near by not at the station, or in the case of solid precipitation that does not melt in the collection basin.
The day in 1965 with the most precipitation observations was March 1. There were 8 hourly weather reports that day (out of a maximum of 24) in which some form of precipitation was observated at or near the station. The month with the most precipitation observations was March, with 77 hourly present weather reports involving some form of precipitation.
As determined by the present weather reports, the longest dry spell was from October 21 to November 7, constituting 18 consecutive days with no observed precipitation. The month with the largest fraction of days without observed precipitation was October, with 77% of days reporting no observed precipitation at all.
The month with the largest fraction of days with at least some observed precipitation was May, with 68% of days reporting some observed precipitation.
In this section we consider only those weather reports that indicate liquid precipitation. For the purposes of this analysis, we include thunderstorms even though some thunderstorms are not accompanied by liquid precipitation.
The month of 1965 with the largest number of those reports was September, with a total of 67 reports. The day with the largest number of those reports was September 20, with a total of 8 reports.
This station reports when snow is observed falling but does not report the quantity of snow that has fallen or the depth of snow on the ground.
In this section we consider hourly weather reports that contain an observation of falling snow. These reports do not necessarily correspond to accumulation.
The first reported snow fall in 1965 was on November 11; the last was on May 28. The month of 1965 with the largest number of those reports was March, with a total of 71 reports. The day with the largest number of those reports was March 2, with a total of 8 reports.
Humidity is an important factor in determining how weather conditions feel to a person experiencing them. Hot and humid days feel even hotter than hot and dry days because the high level of water content in humid air discourages the evaporation of sweat from a person's skin.
When reading the graph below, keep in mind that the hottest part of the day tends to be the least humid, so the daily low (brown) traces are more relevant for understanding daytime comfort than the daily high (blue) traces, which typically occur during the night. Applying that observation, the least humid month of 1965 was October with an average daily low humidity of 44%, and the most humid month was December with an average daily low humidity of 74%.
But it is important to keep in mind that humidity does not tell the whole picture and the dew point is often a better measure of how comfortable a person will find a given set of weather conditions. Please see the next section for continued discussion of this point.
Dew point is the temperature below which water vapor will condense into liquid water. It is therefore also related to the rate of evaporation of liquid water. Since the evaporation of sweat is an important cooling mechanism for the human body, the dew point is an important measurement for understanding how dry, comfortable, or humid a given set of weather conditions will feel.
Generally speaking, dew points below 50°F will feel a bit dry to some people, but comfortable to people accustomed to dry conditions; dew points from 50°F to 68°F are fairly comfortable to most people, and dew points above 68°F are increasingly uncomfortable, becoming oppressive around 77°F.
To take some examples, and basing our categorization on the daily high dew point in 1965, January had 31 dry days, no comfortable days, and no humid days; April had 28 dry days, 2 comfortable days, and no humid days; July had no dry days, 25 comfortable days, and 6 humid days; and October had 23 dry days, 8 comfortable days, and no humid days.
The highest sustained wind speed was 29 mph, occurring on March 18; the highest daily mean wind speed was 22 mph (November 27);
The windiest month was March, with an average wind speed of 11 mph. The least windy month was July, with an average wind speed of 8 mph.
Visibility is the maximum distance at which a given reference object or light can be clearly discerned. In the United States, visibilities that are greater than or equal to 10 miles are typically reported as 10 miles.
The day of 1965 with the lowest average visibility was February 6, with an average visibility of 0.9 mi. The month with the lowest average visibility was April, with an average visibility of 10.1 mi. With an average visibility of 13.7 mi, the month of October had the highest average visibility.
This station did not reliably report the cloud ceiling during 1965.

How To Overcome 6 Food Challenges
For foodies like me, food is a weakness against which we have no power….or so we would like to believe. Unfortunately for me and fortunately for those who want to enjoy their food and stay healthy, I came across some information on "How To Overcome 6 Food Challenges" that we face on a daily basis.
Food Challenge 1 - How to Stop Eating Fast Food
Catch the bull by the horn. Be it at home or in the office, fast food is very difficult to resist. To do so, fill your tummy with healthy food that is rich in complex carbohydrates like asparagus, artichokes, buckwheat bread or cabbage before you leave home.
This will provide your body with high fiber and a higher energy level and also curb your hunger and the natural urge to get fast food. Eat less, but more often! Carry healthy snacks like banana popsicles, granola bars or veggies and dip. Ensure that your home always has a sufficient stock of healthy food so you don't need to resort to fast food!
Food Challenge 2 - How to Say No to Doughnuts
There is even a Facebook page devoted to this challenge. Track your motivations to have doughnuts and resolve to stay away from them. Dodge the source of your temptation, like the break room at work or the doughnut shop on the way home. Avoid the vicious circle - Remember that sugar can trigger fluctuations in your blood sugar levels which in turn can lead to energy crashes and cravings.
Food Challenge 3 - How to Stop Eating Your Kids' Leftovers.
You might not want to waste food, but eating unnecessarily is simply not going to help you! You can work around this by giving your kids smaller portions of healthy food and then serve more only when they ask for it. Use leftover food to cook up a healthier meal for the next day.
Food Challenge 4 - How to Resist the Home-Baked Goods My Co-workers Bring
You can avoid baked food or other junk food your colleagues bring by getting together with them beforehand and creating a schedule of who brings what. Opt for healthy food options and allow yourself only a predetermined amount of food. Ask your friends and colleagues to join you on your healthy food regime.
Food Challenge 5 - How to Stop Eating After 9 P.M.
Figure out why you are hungry late at the night. Is it because of irregular eating habits or just because you are bored? If it's the former, discipline your food eating habits and if it's the latter, distract yourself. Listen to music, take a warm bath, or get a back rub. Small frequent meals till 9 pm will help and after 9 PM stick to healthy options like fruit or air-popped popcorn.
Food Challenge 6 - How to Control My Stress-Related Binge Eating
Do you eat when you are tired, depressed or stressed? Then you suffer from stress-related binge eating. Recognise and accept that you have a stress related eating problem. Identify your emotional eating triggers and then take control of yourself and your diet. Keep a food diary and establish alternatives other than eating to deal with your stress. Drink water or tea in place of eating. Exercise, Tai chi, meditation, yoga, talking to an online support group or friend can help to tackle your stress.
With these tips you can easily overcome common food challenges for a healthier you!

#1 Missouri Farmers Fight Rise In Hay Thefts12-04-2012, 10:30 AMDecember 3, 2012 9:49 AM
ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - As if its not bad enough that Missouri farmers are trying to survive the worst drought in decades, now many of them are facing a new problem thats costing them big bucks.
Missouri Farm Bureau president Blake Hurst says thieves are actually targeting those big bundles of hay that are left out in fields prior to being harvested, hauling them off and selling the valuable commodity.
Of course, no one brands their hay so if you hook onto it with your tractor or your pickup and make it out the gate, then its impossible to prove where the hay came from, Hurst said.
Hay thieves!!!May the FORCE be with you!
First the Depression, then the Dust Bowl. Wikipedia talks about how Roosevelt tried to conserve soil and restore the ecological balance, but avoids mentioning that these actions preceded the worst effects of the Dust Bowl. How much you want to bet that environmentalist policies exacerbated the problem?
During President Franklin D. Roosevelt's first 100 days in office in 1933, governmental programs designed to conserve soil and restore the ecological balance of the nation were implemented. Interior Secretary Harold L. Ickes established the Soil Erosion Service in August 1933 under Hugh Hammond Bennett. In 1935, it was transferred and reorganized under the Department of Agriculture and renamed the Soil Conservation Service. More recently, it has been renamed the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).[23]
Additionally, the Federal Surplus Relief Corporation (FSRC) was created after more than six million pigs were slaughtered to stabilize prices. The pigs were sent to slaughterhouses and the meat packed and distributed to the poor and hungry. FDR in an Address on the AAA commented, "Let me make one other point clear for the benefit of the millions in cities who have to buy meats. Last year the Nation suffered a drought of unparalleled intensity. If there had been no Government program, if the old order had obtained in 1933 and 1934, that drought on the cattle ranges of America and in the corn belt would have resulted in the marketing of thin cattle, immature hogs and the death of these animals on the range and on the farm, and if the old order had been in effect those years, we would have had a vastly greater shortage than we face today. Our program -- we can prove it -- saved the lives of millions of head of livestock. They are still on the range, and other millions of heads are today canned and ready for this country to eat."
The FSRC diverted agricultural commodities to relief organizations. Apples, beans, canned beef, flour and pork products were distributed through local relief channels. Cotton goods were later included, to clothe the needy.[24]
In 1935, the federal government formed a Drought Relief Service (DRS) to coordinate relief activities. The DRS bought cattle in counties which were designated emergency areas, for $14 to $20 a head. Animals unfit for human consumption more than 50 percent at the beginning of the program were killed. The remaining cattle were given to the Federal Surplus Relief Corporation (FSRC) to be used in food distribution to families nationwide. Although it was difficult for farmers to give up their herds, the cattle slaughter program helped many of them avoid bankruptcy. "The government cattle buying program was a blessing to many farmers, as they could not afford to keep their cattle, and the government paid a better price than they could obtain in local markets."[25]--Odysseus
Sic Hacer Pace, Para Bellum.
Before you can do things for people, you must be the kind of man who can get things done. But to get things done, you must love the doing, not the people!
Hay that sucks! I couldn't find any good hay to buy this year, I get alfalfa pellets for 22.00 per #100 that come from Colorado.
Pffffffffffffffffffffff! Buh Bye Big Ears

12-04-2012, 04:41 PMIn Minnesota, hay has been produced in great numbers. Although we aren't able to sell it to other states since we need most of it to feed the liberals in this state.
Liberals are proof that evolution is only a theory. Nothing that stupid could evolve past a monkey.

It's always good to be prepared with an answer - a good answer beyond a simple "yes" or "no." Now, you don't want to sound rehearsed and you certainly want to sound thoughtful. But you also don't want to sit there floundering around for an answer to a question you weren't ready for. Below are common questions you'll be asked as well as questions you might write out and have ready to use when they ask you what questions you have for them. If you'd like to run your answers past us, just stop by the Career Services Office.
Never - and we mean never - ask questions about salary, vacations, holidays with pay, sick days or benefits until you have received a job offer.

Sony has expanded its Xperia smartphone family with two new mid-range handsets with premium features.
The Xperia SP supports LTE 4G for ultra-fast mobile internet connection and also boasts a full high-definition 4.8-inch display, while the Xperia L has an exceptional camera and features the same High Dynamic Range technology for still and moving images that the company recently demonstrated in its new flagship handset, the Xperia Z.
Both phones also offer NFC-compatibility for wireless file transfer, and even wireless mobile payments (where supported) and also come complete with Sony's new STAMINA technology for intelligent battery life management. The Xperia L also has dedicated camera function buttons, meaning that the phone can go from sleep to full camera mode in little more than a second, even when the phone is also locked.
Both phones will be available worldwide before summer 2013.

Hi someone,
I created a second account with Mozilla Thunderbird and "deleted" (?) the old one. However, going to Tools > Accounts Settings the settings for my old account are still there. I now receive messages via my new as well as old accounts, although I cannot reply to the messages which arrived via my old account successfully (replied messages cannot be 'Sent', nor Saved nor placed as Draft: they simply disappear). My questions: a) How can I reactivate fully my old account? b) Being able to reactivate it or not, is it possible to recover any reply message placed as a Draft?
Many thanks!

Every patient enrolled in the study will receive monthly infusions of Infliximab throughout the term of the study. Infliximab will be administered intravenously.
Drug: Infliximab
The drug will be administered intravenously every month for 110 weeks (duration of the study). The initial dose of infliximab will be 5mg/kg of body weight. The dose may be adjusted up to a maximal dosing of 10mg/kg depending upon disease activity, as judged by the investigators.
Other Name: Remicade
Detailed Description:
The closely related disorders, Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Syndrome (TENS), represent rare but severe hypersensitivity responses to a systemic medication, and cause severe sloughing of the skin and mucous membranes. Approximately half of affected patients experience ocular involvement, which can lead to corneal opacity and vascularization, and in some patients, blindness. Corneal transplantation (corneal allograft) is typically unsuccessful in SJS/TENS, because of chronic inflammation at the ocular surface, leading to corneal neovascularization and opacity, tissue melt, ulceration, and perforation.
The Boston keratoprosthesis, an artificial cornea developed at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary (MEEI) over the last 40 years, is an FDA approved device for patients with corneal blindness not amenable to corneal transplantation, and has restored the sight of thousands of such patients, but in SJS/TENS patients remains associated with tissue melts (tissue ulceration), perforation, and ultimately in some, loss of the eye. K-Pro surgery is currently the best option for patients with SJS or TENS and corneal blindness, but these patients also have the worst prognosis after surgery. While the outcomes of these surgeries for patients with SJS or TENS have improved dramatically in the past ten years, they are still unsatisfactory. Remicade® has been used in a small group of patients with SJS or TENS undergoing K-Pro surgery, with one remarkable success. The purpose of this study is to explore this treatment more fully.
For a case report detailing the use of infliximab in one patient, see the following article: Dohlman JG, Foster CS, Dohlman CH. "Boston Keratoprosthesis in Stevens-Johnson Syndrome: A case of using infliximab to prevent tissue necrosis." Digital Journal of Ophthalmology. 2009, Volume 15, Number 1.
Recently developed biologics have dramatically improved functional outcomes and quality of life in patients with autoimmune diseases. One such agent, infliximab, acts by blocking TNF alpha, a protein associated with tissue melting in the cornea, and is increasingly being used for autoimmune eye conditions, in addition to its FDA approved indication for recalcitrant rheumatoid arthritis.
The proposed study will determine the feasibility of combining infliximab with keratoprosthesis surgery, and will closely monitor patients for episodes of corneal melting: the primary outcome of the study.

'Pretty Little Liars' vs. 'The Vampire Diaries': Which TV Show Is Your Favorite? – Readers Poll
'Pretty Little Liars' and 'The Vampire Diaries' have been two of the hottest shows on television since the former premiered in 2010 and the latter debuted in 2009.
While the shows have different premises — one being about high school beauties dealing with mad drama, and the other about high school beauties and vampires dealing with mad drama — the twists and turns within the dark plot lines make these two TV smashes somewhat comparable.
We want to know: Which of these TV shows (which both have four seasons to date) do you eagerly await to watch every week? Are you a devoted 'Pretty Little Liars' viewer, or do you think 'The Vampire Diaries' is the all-time best TV show?
It's not like we need to explain 'Pretty Little Liars,' since most of you probably know what it's about, so we'll just give you a brief rundown. The show follows four friends — Lucy Hale as Aria Montgomery, Ashley Benson as Hanna Marin, Spencer Hastings as Troian Bellisario and Shay Mitchell as Emily Fields — whose relationships begin to crumble after the disappearance of their clique's HBIC, Alison DiLaurentis (Sasha Pieterse). Mad dramz up in Rosewood, yo.
Then there's 'The Vampire Diaries,' starring Nina Dobrev as Elena Gilbert, a character who is entangled in a love triangle between two blood-sucking brothers, Stefon (Paul Wesley) and Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerholder). In Season 4, Elena was going through lots of "changes" — we don't want to give anything away if you haven't tuned in yet! — and a new villain was introduced in the story, which is set in Mystic Falls where all sorts of crazy supernatural phenomena takes place.
So, which of these TV series is your favorite? Vote for 'Pretty Little Liars' or 'The Vampire Diaries' below!

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
When companies invite guests to their shareholders meetings, they usually choose people who have to say kind things about their business and leadership. But not , at least not in this year's annual meeting, where among the guests is hedge-fund manager Doug Kass who is shorting the Berkshire stock—betting that it will head south. Mr. Kass will take the stage at the Center on Saturday to question Buffett and partner Charlie Munger about Berkshire's business.
Why is Mr. Buffett inviting a heretic to the shareholder meeting of Wall Street's most successful investment company?
Because heretics challenge the status quo, see things others cannot see, introduce new concepts and ideas that keep the world alive for decades and centuries. As Mike Soupios puts it in his new book The Heretic's Handbook: A Contrarian's Guide To Modern Life:
"As a rule, societies are rarely inclined to examine their own premises. Instead, people are routinely expected, if not compelled, to endorse the prevailing system of beliefs. While this approach may appear useful in terms of maintaining cultural harmony, in truth it constitutes a serious threat to society's general health and well-being because no society can benefit from having mechanically endorsed views serve as authoritative norms. It is imperative, therefore, that we continuously ratify our cultural premises and that skeptics and contrarians be given pride of place in the process."
The problem, however, is that the status quo doesn't want to hear what heretics say, nor does it address the questions they ask, until it is too late. This is especially the case in the corporate world, where complacent leaders steer away from skeptics and contrarians that may shake up the ivory tower at corporate headquarters.
As evidenced by his record, Mr. Buffett isn't a complacent leader. That's why he thinks that the corporate world has a thing or two to learn from heretics, skeptics, and contrarians. Will other companies follow his lead?

* Zodiacal Zephyr's Celebrity Data looks great at first, but while there are adequate references to some sources, most of the data is totally unreliable.

The name of the owner of Astrotheme will not be found on its website, but the service provider lists him as Philippe Lepoivre. Mr Lepoivre has stolen thousands of astro-data from researchers and collectors (including hundreds of my data), publishing them on his website without accuracy ratings and without asking permission, and without giving attribution to collectors for use of their work, let alone payment. Furthermore, Mr Lepoivre has stolen copyrighted photographs and used his website to publish personal and private details about living persons without their permission. I have emailed Astrotheme and Mr Lepoivre several times about these matters but they have never replied. Please do not have anything to do with the Astrotheme company or Mr Lepoivre except to tell everyone you can about how shameful they are.

Install the Bracket
Install the small cube-shaped brackets into the inside corners of the window. One of the two open sides faces straight out, and the other toward the center (Image 1).
The blinds unit fits in the brackets with the strings facing toward the room (Image 2).
Secure the blind in the bracket with small plastic pieces that slide into the brackets.
Step 2
Attach the Wand
Attach the long plastic wand to the blind controller as directed in the manufacturer's instructions. The wand is used for opening and closing the blind slats.
Step 3

Adjust the Blinds to the Appropriate Length
The process of shortening the blinds is easy if you follow the instructions and diagrams that come with the blinds. Drop the blinds as far as they will go — so that the bottom rests on the windowsill to determine the appropriate length.
Remove the plastic retaining tabs from the bottom piece for adjusting the length (Image 1).
Next, slide out the larger bottom piece and cut the strings to the proper length.
Remove the excess slats and discard them (Image 2).
Replace the bottom piece into the last rung (Image 3).
The string ends are tied and pushed into holes under the last rung.

He knows! It's the death of the puppy and the rise of Dark Yoo-hyun, who is no less polite than before, but eerily icy beneath the surface. And let's not count out Myung-hoon, who is quickly becoming Miri's biggest opponent yet. Basically everyone serves Miri up a slice of humble pie, and it's kind of awesome. Let the real fun begin.
Awkward family dinner, party of five? Right this way.
Let's see, we've got Dad, Evil Stepmom, Son, Daughter-in-law-to-be, and… her ex-boyfriend? Why not? I invite all of my exes to meet my next boyfriend's families. It's the new passive aggressive way to say, "I'm just not that into you."
Myung-hoon sits down and it's really interesting, the divide—Lee Hwa, Myung-hoon, and Miri all know what's what, while Yoo-hyun and his dad are all smiles, none the wiser. Though Yoo-hyun isn't a complete fool, as he picks up on Miri's tense vibes, especially when Stepmom starts asking Myung-hoon pointed questions about his love life.
He says that he was seeing someone but they broke up, and Lee Hwa asks what kind of person she was. He looks up at Miri: "I think there was so much that she wanted… that I couldn't fill." Dayum. Such good tension.
He adds that he was lacking, and that she left him when she found something else she wanted. He purposely uses the word "greed," though out of context (in the gold-digger way) it can also just mean "really really want."
They get left alone when Dad has a coughing fit and the family gets up to help him to bed. Shaking, Miri asks how far Myung-hoon is planning to take this: "Are you going to cut off my air supply too?" He smiles, a little amused that for the enormous size of her lies, she seems more afraid than he would've imagined.
I'm such a fan of this new dynamic. They were great as a couple but now he's the perfect antagonist for her—he's a spurned lover, he's wise to her lies, AND he's in a position of power to totally mess up her program.
She tells him that no matter what he does, she won't go back to him. Oh, okay Princess. He makes it clear that he's not waiting. Good. Now that we've got that off the table, let's see if we can't toy with her a little. I'm now seeing Myung-hoon as a sadistic kitty, and I LOVE IT.
Yoo-hyun returns just in time to overhear a key point in their conversation, as Miri tells Myung-hoon that his mother came to see her. She tells him that she explained that she won't go back to him, and that her heart changed through no fault of his.
Myung-hoon: "Loving you, and you becoming like this… it's all my fault."
Eeeeeee! He knows! He knows! I might've been a little more satisfied had he put some clues together himself instead of happening upon an incriminating conversation, but I'll take what I can get, since he's too trusting to go digging without a big push.
Lee Hwa rounds the corner, pleased as punch to see Yoo-hyun listening in. Oy, what is this, 49 Days, with the lurkers having lurkers? But inside Miri admits with a different twist on his words that yes, what she's become now she owes to him. (It's so interesting that he means that he's to blame for putting her in the position to hurt so many people, while she takes it to mean that she owes her success to him.)
Then Myung-hoon asks: "Song [Yoo-hyun]… do you sincerely love him?"
And then we cut away before she answers! Aaaaaaargh. Well at least Yoo-hyun realizes that this is a question for her, like there's a possibility that her answer is no, whereas until now, he's never considered it an option.
He's particularly distant and cold to her as he drops her off that night, and Miri worries, though she doesn't know what's changed.
Myung-hoon gets a call from the hospital and rushes off, but finds that his mother was never able to fully recover from her collapse the day before. Before he knows it he's in funeral clothes.
Everyone comes to pay their respects, while Miri sits alone at her desk, finally struck with guilt for maybe the first time ever. She tries to rationalize that it couldn't be because of her, but she can't shake the thought. I feel bad that she died, but I love that it's indirectly Miri's fault.
Yoo-hyun arrives at the funeral. He lays a flower down and bows, and then looks up at the picture of Myung-hoon's mother. Dun dun. It confirms everything—she's the woman who pleaded with Miri that day and collapsed, and he was the one who brought her to the hospital. There's no denying it now, buddy.
Myung-hoon confirms his suspicions that her collapse that day was the instigating factor in her death, but Yoo-hyun doesn't reveal his part in the matter. He does confide how he dealt with his own mother's passing, at age nine when he didn't understand that death meant a forever kind of goodbye.
He relates how his last word at his mother's coffin was the send-off you say when someone is returning to you, which breaks my heart. It makes Myung-hoon feel lucky to realize that he had a lifetime with his mother, while Yoo-hyun lost his so young. Aw, man, their friendship is so sweet. I just want it to last forever. But sadly I know that this bromance is not long for this world.
On his way out, Yoo-hyun sees Hirayama walk in, and remembers him right away from the day he chased Miri away from the gosiwon. I love that once someone sees one of Miri's lies, all of her others start to come into focus. If you only knew how little of the iceberg you've really seen. Hee-joo notices him too, at the door.
Hirayama returns the money that Myung-hoon had given him, announcing Miri's name publicly. Myung-hoon drags him outside and tries to get him to take it back and leave, but Hirayama makes it clear that if he's been dumped by Miri, he's no longer of any use to him. Oh snap. What's worse than being cast aside by your ex-girlfriend's pimp/debt collector? That's gotta be the strangest rejection ever.
Hirayama: "Love is not the kind of thing that ends because you don't see her, or because she's dating another man. You know what the simplest calculation in the world is? Money. My heart's debt goes long and deep. Because love is a petty thing." I love that this guy talks in riddles and aphorisms, but twists them around for his own dark purposes. It's such an interesting character quirk, especially in a drama where everyone else speaks quite plainly, if veiled.
Yoo-hyun ponders all the facts he's now gathered about Miri atop his perch above the city. His assistant comes with Hirayama's envelope with his club's name on it, and tells him that they're tracking down the address now. Nice. I love the rise of Dark Yoo-hyun. Puppy version was cute and all, but this guy's kinda hot.
He meets Miri the next day, his demeanor totally different now that his rose-colored glasses are off. He asks her about her childhood and her dreams, as if trying to reconcile how she became this way and looking for a reason to explain it all.
But as she talks about her mother and off-handedly says that he wouldn't know what her life was like, he bitterly notes that she's assuming she knows something he doesn't, and that it implies she never thought they were the same. She wonders if it's possible for any two people to be alike down to the bone, and he answers darkly, "Is that so?"
Iiiiiiiinteresting. You know what's creeping me out? He's seeing her true face but at the same time he's showing his too. I don't think he loves her any less either, because maybe he's always seen her this way—as something to have. I feel like he's decided long ago that he must have her, so he's going to see it through somehow, no matter what. He's starting to scare me too.
Miri can sense something's off the rails, but is in no position to manipulate the situation now. I love that the power balance has flipped for her in BOTH relationships. He tells her that he'll be busy for a while, purposely distancing himself from her, but for what we don't know.
Meanwhile Lee Hwa gets some alarming news of her own, that someone is digging into her past and her whereabouts, starting from the orphanage where she left Miri. She's told this by the secretary of a deceased company president, who I'm guessing was her first husband. Just positing a guess, but it's likely that she abandoned Miri to marry her first chaebol, and then when he passed away, she traded up for a new one in Yoo-hyun's father. The man asks if she doesn't want to find her daughter now, and she tells him no.
But she goes to visit her old apartment building anyway, for the first time in twenty years. She walks up the steps only to be confronted by a vision of young Miri, asking her what took her so long. With tears in her eyes, she heartbreakingly smiles up at her full of guilt and longing, as she tells her that she was in America to earn money.
She follows Little Miri up to the door of their old home, and then she disappears, leaving Lee Hwa to call out, "Child, child!" out at nothing, only to realize that she's alone. Okay, while I dislike this Stepmom/Mom story thread altogether, I do for once feel a twinge of sympathy for Lee Hwa. Just a drop.
Miri goes to work the next day and finds that every promotional brochure and video with her face on it is gone or in the trash. She panics. Her tower is finally starting to crumble. She meets Hee-joo, who tells her that she's resigned at Mondo, and plans to go study abroad.
Miri freaks out, turning it totally around to her, "How can you do this to me?" Whoa. She takes self-absorbed to a new plane of existence. Hee-joo tells her plainly that she doesn't want to live with her anymore, and Miri reacts like a child being abandoned by her mother all over again.
She keeps repeating that she can't do this to her, that she'll be all alone, which really makes me wonder how she's worked it out in her brain that Hee-joo is family and all she has… and yet treat her the way that she does.
Hee-joo stands her ground (yay!) and tells her that this isn't what she wants. She asks where the Miri she knew went—the girl who refused to let other kids call her an orphan, or helped her hide so she wouldn't get adopted.
Miri looks at her in genuine shock, and her disbelief in this situation is in turn really throwing me for a loop. Are you really that surprised that Hee-joo wouldn't want to be your BFF? Her shock, at something so obvious to the rest of the universe, is so fascinating.
Yoo-hyun starts to piece together a few key events, like the timing of the two baseball games—the first where he was stood up by Miri, then the second where she was suddenly so friendly… right after the banquet at Hotel A. Ding ding!
Wow, I didn't even give you the benefit of the doubt that you'd think that through, but again, once you see through one of her lies, you kind of can't help but start to revise the entire past sans love blinders.
Miri finally makes her way to the funeral, but stops short in the doorway at the sight of Myung-hoon. She can't bring herself to go inside and face it. And though I desperately want her to, to confront her guilt and even to comfort Myung-hoon, it's fitting that she doesn't, or rather that she's too scared to face the consequences of her choices.
So Myung-hoon buries his mother without so much as one word from Miri, finally shedding a single tear after she's laid to rest.
Then Yoo-hyun meets with him to hear it straight from the horse's mouth. He tells him about having seen his mother before with Miri, and asks directly if their relationship is that kind of relationship.
Myung-hoon doesn't hem or haw, which I like, and neither does Yoo-hyun, who is clearly uncomfortable, but would rather hear the truth. Myung-hoon tells him about how he had spent his twenties and thirties just trying to stay afloat, and then one day turned around and realized how alone he was. It was then that he met Miri, who reminded him of himself in his twenties.
He shares his own harsh background, having to become the head of a struggling household at the ripe age of twelve, upon the sudden death of his father. He saw himself in Miri, and was happy to help her, and felt somehow like he was reliving his youth through her. Aw.
Yoo-hyun asks if he's ever told Miri these things, but Myung-hoon says no, "Because these aren't the things you want to burden the person you love." Still crushing my heart.
Hee-joo stops by the orphanage to tell them that she's going to study abroad, and happens to see Lee Hwa's contact stop by to ask about the person digging into her past.
Miri goes to work and finds that Myung-hoon has put up a notice looking for her replacement, in effect putting her head on the chopping block. She storms into his office in a fury, calling him petty for stooping so low. Damn, the entitlement on this girl… it's just a sight to behold.
She asks if this is because of his mother, and he admits that he doesn't entirely not blame her. But he explains that this is purely a business decision, which I believe, and adds that he's already cleared it with Yoo-hyun. Well that effectively shuts her trap.
She stomps away in a self-righteous huff… that is, until her co-worker drops the bomb that a shady looking debt collector came to the funeral to return an envelope that Myung-hoon had given him on Miri's behalf…
Which then Yoo-hyun asked for… the envelope with a rose on it.
She finally starts to clue into how far this has gotten out of her control. She races over to Flower Blossom to track down Hirayama. She pleads with him to let her go. But he confesses now that this isn't about the money. It's about her.
He reminisces about the day she came and found him, at fifteen, wanting to sell cigarettes in his club. He talks about raising her for ten years, half like a father, half like a boyfriend, which really makes theirs a lot like her relationship with Myung-hoon (the totally twisted dark version, don't get me wrong).
With tears streaming down her face, she reaches the end of her rope.
Miri: Just let me go. I'll do whatever you want. If you want me to work again I will. I'll do whatever you tell me to. I'm begging you. Just keep it a secret from Yoo-hyun. I really love that person. I love him. I mean it.
And there's the answer to the question. There's no telling what love means to her, or if she even believes in love herself. But whatever it is, love or desperation, she'll clearly do anything not to lose him.
They're interrupted by someone's henchmen punching their way into the club. Hirayama walks out and Miri peeks out from the corner to see Yoo-hyun's assistant demand a meeting and escort him out. Uh-oh.
Hirayama gets taken to an empty office in a high rise, where Yoo-hyun waits for him like a power mobster.
Oh, this ought to be good.
I like how the tables have turned, now that Miri is two steps behind the guys, who each know more about her than she fears, even now. Before she used to be able to preemptively lay the tracks down for the next lie miles before she had to get there, but now she's scrambling to catch up, desperate to plug a whole in a dam without realizing that the whole thing's about to cave under the weight of her all her lies.
It works well because her lies are such a complicated web that the downfall is just as suspenseful as when she carefully built everything up. I also like the change in her demeanor, whether borne of fear and desperation or actual human feelings of love and guilt. Either way, it's fascinating. And the way she interprets everything as a personal affront to her, like Hee-joo leaving, is downright batty and yet makes perfect sense in her completely self-centered worldview.
I was concerned that Park Yoochun wouldn't be able to handle the dark turn in his character, because let's be frank, there's only so much character work a haircut can do. But he actually pulls it off rather well. I think it helps that the character's razor edge is always couched in social graces, making him stony and polite on the outside, while the wheels are turning in his head. He's no Kim Seung-woo, but he does a good job, and in this episode I really did feel a marked change in Yoo-hyun's character, which effectively creeped me out.

One of my favorite ways to create a new outfit is something along of the lines of "boy meets girl." I've been loving the trend of wearing super girly pieces and adding something a bit edgier (boy-y, if you will) to complete the look. The fact that this cut out mini can be worn with a floral top for one look and these high top sneakers for another is a great way to maximize your closet.
The weather has cooled down some here in Vermont so I'm trying to hold on to the last little bit of summer left by busting out my minis and tanks before it's too late. Luckily, I shopped for fall on labor day taking full advantage of that Free Shipping and no sales tax in VT!

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
I'm trying to put the reprocessor Directives code in my app project. The first problem that I'm facing is
that I can't follow up with the steps that this link is providing. I'm not sure but I think that the information
is kind of dated, because I'm not able to find Blackberry Project Properties under properties.
Waiting for your help.
Thanks Simon,
You are always here with your great responses. Yes, I know the site is kind of old .
Is there like a link with more information about that?
Thank you again.
Thank you so much again Simon. Actually, I tried the code that the blackberry website providing, it didn't work. I'm not sure I did it in the right way. They didn't explain it in a good way. Did you work with the Reprocesses Directives (RD) before? I will explain to you what I understood and then it would be great if you can correct my understanding.
I wrote an app and compile it with JRE 7, which is normally won't work with JRE 6 or 5. But if we use the (RD) that would make the eclipse skip the lines of code that is not supported by JRE 6,5 and compile it normally.
My questions are :
1- when we compile it with 7 are we going to use the same Lax file with BB devices that runs JRE 5,6... Or vise versa, I mean we compile it with 5,6 and use the same Lax file with 7.
2- As the BB site saying that we should
/#processes in the first line of the code.
/# implicit ( This was from another website)
//# of def tag ... # else
end if...
to surround the code that is not supported by the older JRE.
Is that right? I did it and when I put this on eclips it make it like a comment, and it won't let it compile.
I'm kind of confused... I hope that anyone can explain more about that. And it would be great if there would be a code to support that.
Thank you so much.
//#ifdef VER_4_6_0_AND_ABOVE private MessageFolderDaemon messageFolderDaemon; //#endif
In the BlackBerry_App_Descriptor.xml on the Build tab you create the directive VER_4_6_0_AND_ABOVE using the add button. When you switch to 4.6 or higher you enable it by clicking the active checkbox. you can use similar conditions for 4.7, 5.0, 6.0 etc I think '#else' is problemativ, we avoid it at least, but '#ifndef' should work. sometimes i use boolean flags for more complicated constructs
Thank you Simon.
I went tothe Descriptor.xml --> Build and I found that BLACKBERRYSDK5.0.0
Are all here, but only Blackberry7.0.0 is checked. And it won't let me check the rest.
So, I first turn the preprosser
You can turn on preprocessing for your applications by updating the Eclipse® configuration file.
1. Browse to C:\Program Files\Eclipse\configuration, open the config.ini file.
2. Add the following line to the config.ini file:
• osgi.framework.extensions=net.rim.ejde
and then put the code
//#ifdef VER_4_6_0_AND_ABOVE
the other SDK would be available for me to check? or I should install other things?
Okay, Let's say I clicked SDK5. That means I will have one file for JRE 5 and another one by clicking the SDK6 for 6. Or 5 file will work with all the versions.
Sorry for asking a lot.
I really appreciate your help Simon.
I get by with the pre-defined defines just fine using #ifdef #elseif and #endif e.g.
//#ifdef BlackBerrySDK4.6.0 | BlackBerrySDK4.6.1 HomeScreen.updateIcon(TaskingResourceManager.getBitmapFromResource("tasking_icon_64.png")); HomeScreen.setRolloverIcon(TaskingResourceManager. getBitmapFromResource("tasking_icon_64_ro.png")); //#elseif BlackBerrySDK4.7.0 | BlackBerrySDK5.0.0 | BlackBerrySDK6.0.0 | BlackBerrySDK7.0.0 | BlackBerrySDK7.1.0 ApplicationDescriptor ad = ApplicationDescriptor.currentApplicationDescriptor (); HomeScreen.updateIcon(TaskingResourceManager.getBi tmapFromResource("tasking_icon_64.png"), ad); HomeScreen.setRolloverIcon(null, ad); //#endif
maybe a bit long winded, but in place it tells the full story without referring to custom defines
So, should I change the the build path on my project and let see JRE 5 and JRE6? Because when I do that right now. It gives me an error. And it flag the project with red and showing me an error in line zero. I can't see what is going wrong on the Java files cause it shows no wrong with them. The only thing is red is the project folder and the project won't run on the simulator.

Does this apply to TPS model?
I have a TPS24BPDABS with a freezer that is cold at the bottom and not so cold at the top. Frig side also not cold enough. Also, ice maker stopped working and ice melted.
Upon removel of evaporator panel, frost was found at the top coils, but frost free at the bottom coils. Defroster element happened to come on and appeared to be working fine. However, evaporator fan never appears to run. So, I suspect this is the problem. Does this sound right to you? And does this motor test procedure also apply to my model? Also, the test procedure in step shows diconnecting the motor before proceeding to the evap motor test procedures. Is that correct? Thanks in advance for whatever help you might be able to provide. Steve |
Don't have a full model #, but if it has a mother board, that is the problem. Tom ********************************************
Hi, I think I need a new freezer (evap.?) fan motor, i have tested it and there is no resistance. The volts as measured by the refridge. service test 12.9 (test doesn't turn fan on). I have read above that i will need to replace the fan and evaporator thermistor. How do you replace the evaporator thermistor? Do you cut the old one out and solder the new one in place? I have a Kenmore Elite, model # 596.76502500. I posted on one of your other threads but i think this thread answers my problem better. Thanks! |
refrig not working temp not cold-ice maker not working
I am trying to see if i can repair my refrig on my own. I had to replace the motor evap fan 2yrs ago..i'm thinking it might be the same thing thats causing it not to work now. Th e temp is not correct in the refrig..and the ice maker will not work? |
What is the complete model number of the refrigerator? Gene.

Hi Gene~

What exactly are temperatures in the freezer and in the refrigerator?
Do you see a frost on the rear panel in the freezer? Remove the cover on the back of the fridge and make sure the fan motor next to the compressor is running. Clean the condenser coil from the back and from the front. Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for GE GTS18KBMDRWW | AppliancePartsPros.com Gene.

I have an Eterna model # ESS25XGMB CC, serial # HA 266281. The freezer is not cold enough (currently about 12 degrees F) and the vegetables in the bottom bin of the refrigerator compartment are frozen. The refrigerator (compressor?) is running constantly.
From other problem reports I've read, I suspect that the evaporator fan is not working. Is this likely? Can I use the procedure at the top of this thread on my model? Thanks. |

The Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island has begun its fundraising effort to raise almost $1 million for a planned Holocaust memorial that would be located at Market Square in Providence and will target major donors over the next six months to complete the task.
"We are gearing up for this process," said Herb Stern, chairman of the alliance's memorial committee. "We're at the beginning stages."
The alliance last month chose a memorial design by Jonathan Bonner, a Providence sculptor. Stern said it will be a "living memorial" that will include an interactive aspect in which visitors can use smartphones to receive digital information.
"It has the opportunity to be a very powerful educational tool," Stern said. "We have the ability to do something right now that people couldn't do with them in the past."
The alliance also will seek corporate sponsors and offer residents and other interested parties the ability to sponsor a memorial brick as part of its fundraising plans.
The memorial was reported to need $800,000 but Stern said the committee likely needs closer to $1 million.

We love this stuff.AdvertisementThe above chart shows the amount of uniform numbers retired by each team, separated by league. (It does not included Jackie Robinson's No. 42, retired across baseball.)It's no surprise that the Yankees have the most, including the very first, Lou Gehrig's No. 4 in 1939. In a close race for second between some historically successful franchises: the Cardinals, Dodgers, Reds, Giants, and...Astros? (The question becomes: which teams have lots of legendary players, and which are just extra-generous with canonization?)AdvertisementNot reflected in the chart are the players from pre-uniform-number days. The Tigers honor seven players by displaying their names on Comerica's wall—if they were included, it'd bring their total to 13. (Tied for second with St. Louis, who would get to add pre-uniform-number Rogers Hornsby.)Tewfik has more graphics on his site, including the most-commonly retired numbers, and the number of retirement ceremonies by year. Somewhat surprisingly, the rate of retirements has remained steady over time, meaning we have a few more centuries before uniforms have to go to triple digits.[DTewfik.com]Reply20 repliesLeave a reply

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Catfish
- - 55 gallon suggestions
55 gallon suggestions hey i've got a 55 gallon aquarium with two young jack dempsey cichlids(2in) and 1 young green terror(2.5in) these are all very docile especially for their species. I also have one pleco that is around 8in. I'm using this as a grow out tank so i know that i will need to move a lot out of here. Here is what i need help with. I am looking for a cool active catfish that could do ok with my cichlids for a little while. here's what i've been thinking(i'd just want to go with one of these): 1 lima shovelnose 3-4 pictus 1 iridescent shark 1 Pangasius catfish if anybody knows anything about any of these fish i would really appricate your advice! i'd also love any other suggestions that you have PS- i'm planning to move everytihng out in less than a year |
I can only vouch for the pictus. I love mine! He was incredibly active as a teenager but now has settled into his cave and hangs out there most of the day. He's always poking his head & barbels out from the entrance of the cave so even though he's not as active I still see him 90% of the time. I aquired him at 3" and a little less than a year later he's 6". I wish I would have done three as I've heard they will stay much more active if kept in a group. At this point if I added anymore he'd resent it and grumpily defend his territory, which he now thinks is the entire length of the tank! :-) |
Pictus would be ok. The other 3 get way too big for a 55 gallon. |
Agreed. Lima shovelnose: if you get a much larger tank for the cichlids, this could make a good mixer. I would say a 120g tank would be a good size for one. Just be sure you aren't getting a tiger shovelnose, as these get much larger. Pictus: A good choice. They do fine in groups when young but you may get territoriality issues as they age. If so, be prepared to return some or put them in separate tanks. Iridescent shark: The iridescent shark (or ID shark) is the same fish as the pangasius catfish. As these guys get over four feet long, need groups when young and are very skittish (i.e. literally tankbusters) they aren't really appropriate for any tank unless it is many thousands of gallons. IMO these should not be sold as aquarium pets. |
