No Longer Empty, an artists' collective, takes over unused spaces and transforms them into installations. Their most recent work appropriates the former Tower Records on Broadway and 4th, turning what was once the center of a vibrant music scene into a multimedia exhibition called Never Can Say Goodbye. Among the pieces by the 20 artists are a re-created store (called Never Records), including a paper maiche sales clerk; several audio installations, including mash-ups of hundreds of songs that reached #1 on the Billboard charts; Teen Beat–type magazines featuring Vanilla Ice; and images of what we think is meant to be Josh Groban in sequins. By the time we moved to the city the idea of Tower as hangout - cum - best way to find out about new music was long gone, but Never Can Say Goodbye makes a strong case for what was lost when this store closed.

Sugar Sweet Sunshine
A cute and comfortable spot on the Lower East Side, Sugar Sweet Sunshine serves what its name suggests, in the form of Sexy Red Velvet and Lemon Yummy cupcakes, amongst other evocatively named goodies. You feel a little silly ordering them, but you feel better once you're scarfing 'em down.

Our first foray into this season's Restaurant Week was at Dovetail, the restaurant that, more than any other, is the symbol of the recent Upper West Side culinary renaissance. While many restaurants have a reputation for skimping during Restaurant Week, Dovetail started us with a shotglass of smooth beets, salmon, and creme fraiche and an addictive cheddar cornbread.
Next was cauliflower soup with a bacon, walnut, apple, and brown butter garnish that brought out all of the seasonal warmth of the soup, along with squid a la plancha with peppers, Thai basil, mango, coconut, and a radish relish. The squid was nicely firm, and the dish had a lovely controlled sweetness.
Our main courses were seared cod with Meyer lemon and sweet onions, and duck confit with radicchio. Both dishes had the potential to be uniformly soft, but the light sear on the cod and the crisp skin on the duck balanced the other textures and allowed the flavors to come to the forefront. Each bite of the duck confit made us like it more.
For dessert, we had a Black Forest gateau with cherry puree and almond bread pudding with rum raisin ice cream and maple butterscotch sauce. The dense gateau wasn't particularly memorable, but the almond bread pudding was awesome. It was like the French toast you always dream about having but can never find.

Subway Map Floating on a New York City Sidewalk
Most works of art aren't meant to be touched, for obvious reasons. But on Greene Street in Soho lies an artwork that gets trampled, scuffed, spat at, spilled on, and generally disdained all day long. It's Francoise Schein's Subway Map Floating on a New York City Sidewalk, a schematic representation of local subway lines as depicted on maps from the 70s and 80s. It's a little piece of the mundane turned into abstract art and reinserted into the mundane.

Back in 2007–2008, Scarpetta was on everyone's tongue. The Times gave it a bunch of stars, Esquire named it one of the "Best New Restaurants" in the US, and people scrambled to get reservations. Some thought Scarpetta would return culinary dignity to an otherwise often undignified area of the city. So, how are things a few years later?
Pretty good. Pretty good.
The meal started off delightfully, with a bread basket that included salami-and-cheese roll ups. A few more of these, and we'd have been too full for anything else.
As an appetizer, we enjoyed the fried mozzarella with tiny heirloom tomatoes. First cheese and meat baked into bread, then cheese covered in a crispy coating. So far, so delicious.
We contemplated the $26 spaghetti, but ultimately decided on the black maccheroni with seafood and the touch-too-sweet duck-and-foie gras ravioli.
And for dessert, which we ordered two of in the name of research, we tried the olive oil cake, not nearly as moist as it should have been, and the always-dependable molten chocolate cake.
Scarpetta isn't our favorite Italian restaurant in New York, but it hit enough good notes to let us leave happy.

The hullabaloo about the recently increased (and improved) dining options on the Upper West Side tends to focus on the familiar, which is a shame since such an attitude leaves out lovely little restaurants like Land. But that just means more elbow room and crunchy veggie spring rolls for us!
The lunch prix fixe includes two courses for $8. In addition to the aforementioned rolls, we opted for veggie dumplings, as well as pad thai and drunken noodles with chicken (drunk on spice, not alcohol, alas).
And for dessert, a scoop of coconut ice cream, redolent of sunny days and sun cream, topped with a cardomom-seeded cracker.

Thomas Dozol's Entre Temps at Envoy Enterprises
Thomas Dozol's series Entre Temps, just finishing a run at Envoy Enterprises, depicts people moments after they emerge from the shower, in the liminal state between private washing and public display. A handful --- the most talked-about handful, naturally --- depict his celebrifriends, but those are actually the least compelling shots. (When you see Gwenyth Paltrow drying off, you don't think, "Here's a person in a moment of complete un-self-consciousness"; you think, "Gwenyth Paltrow and I have the same towels.") It's Dozol's unknown subjects, like Jamie, above, caught in moments of repose, contemplation, or simple ablution, who are the most vulnerable, the most human, the most like you when you're all alone.

Dessert Truck Works
Whatever damage it may do to our culinary bona fides, we'll just say it: the food truck trend is stupid. We love New York in part because it allows you to escape the car culture endemic to the rest of the US, so food trucks have always struck us as something that would be cool in, say, Kansas City, but willfully perverse here. And that's to say nothing of the ecological effects of idling a truck all day, or the gustatory appeal of standing on the sidewalk breathing exhaust while eating waffles.
So it was with considerable relief that we greeted the arrival of Dessert Truck Works, the brick-and-mortar manifestation of the erstwhile sweetmobile. In a spare but appealing space on the Lower East Side, they're serving up goodies like molten chocolate cake with hazelnuts and olive oil and brioche donut holes filled with glorious goopy Nutella. And they'll be in the same place tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day.

Rye House
You don't see many restaurants in New York that try to capture the culinary spirit of Pittsburgh. Heck, you probably don't see that many in Pittsburgh that do so. Mercifully, the recently opened Rye House is absent any Steelers banners or . . . uh . . . whatever else is a visual marker of Pittsburgianity. They do have a great list of American spirits, though, and they make a pretty good shrimp roll.
But the best thing on the brief menu of upscale bar food is the spicy, sloppy, satisfying Pittsburgh, a sandwich made with andouille sausage, cheese, house slaw, and fries. Yes, that means fries in the sandwich, one of the few late-night-in-the-dorm-room ideas that actually works. Apparently it's a Pittsburgh thing.

When a radio station gives up playing pop music to became a talk station, it's said to be switching formats. In the electronic age, format has also become widely used as a verb; thus, organizing electronic data for storage or other special uses is called formatting (or reformatting).

well say what you want.... I had this discussion earlier this week. Our biggest need is clearly at mascot. That ****ing raccoon has got to go. Who is supposed to intimidated by an animal that digs through your trash cans and gets ran over. Seriously? Our team name is the Titans and our mascot is a damned coon. Unacceptable. I say that myself, Titans Eternal, Scarecrow, Gunny and Fry sneak into USC facilities on a covert op and seal that little trojan dude. To my understand Titans Eternal has plenty of experience in matters like this and even has a car he bought specifically due to its trunk space and noise deafening insulation.
Clearly the people in charge in picking out a name thought we were stupid. 'How do we get this inbred hicks to even remember what state they are in?' 'Lets name them the Titans, after the Parthenon nearby. Then put three stars on the shield to represent the ones on the flag. Which represents the three parts of Tennessee, but I doubt they know that. Then we can get some big ass raccoon because its the state animal and they will be dumb enough to go along with it.' Pick one damn thing and move on, we know what state we are in. Everything past the name referencing Tennessee culture is tacky as hell.
Were you not the only lobbying for the Titans to take that criminal LB from Georgia in the first this year?

The Horse Forum
- Western Riding
- - Reining
Reining I ride in the jumpers so I don't know anything really about reining, besides the odd reiner I have been thrown up on for the experience. I did once ride a very, very impressive reining stallion which was AWESOME, I loved it. I was wondering if someone could explain to me how reiners are trained to do their sliding stops? I know they wear special shoes, but what about the training? Also, what about the spins? Thanks! |
Check out horsetrainingvideos.com it is the home to Larry Trocha who is an incredible reining and cutting trainer. He has a few short free videos to watch on his website and articles written by him. He also has a youtube channel, YouTube - ltrocha's Channel He is able to teach the spin better than anyone I have found. |
A lot of the stop is a natural thing for the horse to do. For example, we teach the stop the same on my Hunter Under Saddle horse as we do on the reiners, but the HUS horse will never do a sliding stop (he may if we put shoes on him and really got into him, but its likely we woudl destory his legs in the process because he isn't built for it) Breeding, conformation and "Want" are the important things to have, to really achieve thos 20foot+ deep stops (you can do it at a lower level without having some of those things). We start teaching "Whoa" right from the beginning. The young ones aren't expected to do a sliding stop, but right from the beginning we encourage stopping with their hind end under them. So we say whoa, take out legs off a little bit, and then come in with our hands (on the young ones since they have no idea that just taking the legs off means soething). Then you back almost everytime, at least we do. Combine that with having a supple horse that can engage their hind end, move their body around, then you just start building that stop up. You put baby sliders on and start repeating the process, and you build from there. A lot of the "slide" will come natural if they are started right. It's a lot more complicated then I said, but thats about the basics, there are little things you kind of have to feel for (ie. a horse dumping on their front it, bulging their belly here or there, etc) and when you feel these you have to change it up. |
Thanks! |
Hmm....good question. I've seen a lot of differant methods. I've never actually trained a reiner myself so I'm not sure I'm saying this right... Toni is the best reining horse jockey and trainer in my area...besides Todd Bergen. She's amazzing and I'm gonna start shadowing her this summer with my new gelding to learn to train. I do believe that a lot of it is natural, just sort of stopping from the lope, ya know? I've also seen a lot of riders running up to a fence and stopping. Granted I can see that going wrong in so many ways, but it does force a hard stop. Never trained em'.....just ridden em' xD |
Ive heard of some people that run their horse into the aren wall to get them to stop asap when they start galloping at the wall.... theres a few crazy people in every discipline i guess....... |
Hi Ridergirl, i think what you are trying to describe is a training technique called "Fencing", although the idea is to have the horse stop BEFORE the wall :) |
BTW, is this the flex horse trainer/owner David Manchon? :) |
Fencing is a very very beneficial technique when used correctly. It's not about running full speed at a wall and praying the horse stops. It's about building a rundown properly and "allowing" the horse to stop just before the wall. A good horse will stop. Horses aren't that stupid, they won't just run full on into a wall if you have them set up and ready to move up to fencing. I'd say that if you have a reiner that doesn't want to stop before the wall, you have a reiner that is not only slightly dangerous but really doesn't want to be a reiner. I have never had a horse full on run into the wall. I had a horse who decided to wake up and stop to late and slid into the wall a little bit, no harm, the horse turned around and stopped the best he ever had. The way the horse gets hurt is when someone who doesn't have a clue what they are doing, on a horse that doesn't have a clue was stopping is. Thats when things get dangerous. Let me sum it up a little bit: Fencing = good, when you know what you're doing and on a horse that understands what "whoa" is Fencing = bad, when you have no clue how you are supposed to do it (its not about running full speed at a wall), or your horse doesn't have a good "Whoa" on it. Fencing isn't something I'd do on a horse that isn't a reiner, its something I do on a horse that knows how to slide at least a little bit. I hope I explained myself well. Basically fencing isn't something you just do on any horse or any rider. Done properly its helpful and safe. Edited to Add: I like to use stopping off the wall as a "reward" this way they like it. When my horse start anticipating the stop I'll immediately drive to the wall. Helps me get rid of the anticipation in stopping and getting a horse that stops to early. |
Fencing does NOT teach a horse to stop. It is used for several reasons. One of the big reasons it keeping the horse from scotching. You WANT the horse thinking they are going to run to the wall. It also teaches them to brake in 1/2 and really get under them selves. However this is done once the horse already has a good solid stop on them. Trying to explain how to teach a stop or turn in a post or even several is next to impossible. One a true reiner is bred to do it. They do it naturally. I never had to teach a horse to stop. I only have refined it and put a cue to it. They want to stop and do it with their rears tucked. The turn starts again with breeding. However past that you MUST first have control over every aspect of your horses body. If you can not get them to move their rear shoulder mid section with the slightest of cue then you are not going to be able to get a good turn. The horse really needs to have a good quick side pass also. As that is one of the ways you teach and refine the turn. If you can not do these things then that is where you need to start. |

Has been some time since I last posted here, so I'll try to sum up what happened so far (not much really):
-The PzH2000 and M109A3GE2 deal seems to continue well, as the preliminary agreement was signed some time ago by the defence mininster -Greece canceled the competition for a naval cooperation aircraft, because only two companies made offers, and only one was quilifiable. For the time Greece uses the one operational P-3 left and one adapted C-130 (which belongs to the airforce) for the role. (That's bad news if you didn't understan it) -The BMP-3 deal has stuck. No news from there -An interesting piece of news reached the press. Supposedly, the coucil of the navy decided to increase the number of frigates to 16 in the future, because the current (14) are not enough. -The AH-64 Apache are being eventually accepted into service. -Fro the 4 U-214 submarines, the one (Papanikolis) will not be accepted into Greek service, while the rest three will. Greece will build a new U-214 in Papanikolis' place, while the german shipyard are free to sell Papanikolis to whomever they want. That's what I remember, perhaps I'm forgetting something. EDIT: I did forget two things: 1) One F-16 Block 50 was lost, because a bird flew into the engine. The pilot ejected from the plane safely, but the plane crashed, some km south of Ioannina. 2)All M-60A3 have now been retired, and put into long term storage. They were the last american tanks in service in mainland Greece (some 400 M-48 remain in service in the aegean islands and cyprus) Edited by xristar - 05-Jun-2009 at 18:26 |

I think I have ben asked this question before. Yes, Greece had decided to buy 112,500 G36 rifles back in 2005(?) but the deal was never closed. Afterwards in the 5 year armaments plan the fund for the the new rifle was postponed for the second phase (after 2010). Which means that for now nothing can be expected. Nonetheless, there is great scepticism on the rifle and more on the calibre (5,56mm). American companies have developed new calibres (6,5mm and 6,8mm) which have much greater performance, and will propably be adopted by NATO in the future. So, buying a rifle in 5,56 now may not be wise.

That has got to be embarassing for highly rated German technology companies. I wonder if the rejected submarine will be offered to Pakistan or Israel as part of their submarine purchase contracts. Even then, how does one unload a submarine that was rejected by a previous customer (except at a huge loss)?

There has been a long debate on Papanikolis (the prototype U-214), because Greece found it did not conform with the standards that the company siad it did (mainly its stability). The german company fixed it, but then still Greece refused to accept it, causing quite some frustration to the germans. For what it's worth, the greek Chief of Navy admitted that as it is now, Papanikolis is within the standards set, but Greece prefers to build a new one. The original design was indeed faulty, though I don't think that's so surprising, even for the germans. Every new weapon has issues at first. |
Defeat allows no explanation Victory needs none. It insults the dead when you treat life carelessly. |

Ahmedabad: Nov 19, 2012
England were bowled out for 406 by India in their second innings, setting a paltry target of 77 runs for the hosts on Day Five of the first Test at Motera.
Pragyan Ojha took the prize wickets of Alastair cook and Matt Prior in the morning, taking his match tally to nine wickets. Umesh Yadav got three wickets, while Zaheer Khan took two to end the first sessions with five wickets and 66 runs.
Only 10 runs were added in the first half hour as Cook and Prior began the unenviable task of saving the match. Ojha was getting the odd one to nip sharply off the pitch, troubling the lower order.
Eventually, even the mighty Cook succumbed to the left-armer's nipper that kept low. At 365 for seven, with only the tail-enders left to bat and the lead just 35 runs, England were staring at defeat in the first session itself.
Yadav then joined the party and happily latched on to Stuart Broad's return catch.
Ravichandran Ashwin, who had been wicketless so far in the second innings punished Graeme Swann's extravagance as the latter went for a reverse-sweep. Swann was just getting set with Bresnan to take England's lead past the 100 mark and will rue his shot.
Brief Scores: India 521 for 8 dec. (Cheteshwar Pujara 206, Virender Sehwag 117; Graeme Swann 5 for 144) trail England 191 (Alastair Cook 41, Kevin Pietersen 17; Pragyan Ojha 5 for 45, R Ashwin 3 for 80) and 406 (Alastair Cook 176, Matt Prior 91; Pragyan Ojha 4 for 120) by 76 runs.

Last December, Johnny Christmas announced his intention to sit out the 2009 NLL season in order to focus on the founding of LEAPS, his non-profit program designed to educate kids in inner city Philadelphia about the game of lacrosse and the importance of positive thinking. Since then LEAPS (Lacrosse, Education, Attitude, Perseverance, Success) has grown into an extremely reputable program, providing underprivileged kids with the opportunity to throw on pads and learn life lessons through the sport of lacrosse.
Johnny Christmas is his name, and he's giving the gift of lacrosse. Coincidence? I think not.

Mobile health or mHealth is part of a movement towards citizen-centered health services delivered through cellular technologies. Mobile phones in particular are becoming a first line of defense against emerging infectious diseases by keeping healthcare practitioners and the public informed about outbreaks. For individuals mHealth technologies can provide real-time monitoring of vital signs and even deliver treatment services in the form of risk assessments, medication regimens and doctor appointment reminders. In addition, this new technology also has the potential to supply researchers and public health officials with up-to-date community and clinical health data.
In episode 34 of MicrobeWorld Video, we talk with William Warshauer about the work he's doing with Voxiva, a company that specializes in interactive mobile health information services. By leveraging the web, email, text messaging, interactive voice response systems and smart phone apps, he hopes to stay one step ahead of infectious disease outbreaks wherever they may occur.
We also speak with Amy Sonricker from Healthmap.org about their unique web interface and iPhone application that allows for real-time viewing and reporting of disease-related events around the globe.
This episode of MicrobeWorld Video was filmed in October 2009 at the Marian Koshland Science Museum in Washington, D.C., at one of their frequent events for the public.

Dianna Agron: I'm a tomboy
Dianna Agron tries to find the balance between masculine and feminine when it comes to her personal style.
The actress rose to international fame playing cheerleader Quinn Fabray in hit series Glee, where she indulged her girly-girl side.
In real life her style is far from that of her on-screen persona and she opts for much more of a masculine stance.
"I love the rain; it gives me a chance to wear jeans and a sweater. My style is total tomboy," she revealed to Britain's InStyle magazine.
"I do love skirts and dresses when I want to feel feminine or if I'm dressing for the carpet. But I like finding a balance between feminine and masculine. My style in real life has just become much more casual."
Posing for a series of photos for the magazine, Dianna shed her cheerleader image even further by wearing a white tailored Emporio Armani suit and a Louis Vuitton leather biker jacket.
"I loved all the clothes on this shoot. My favourite would have to be the Dior [Orange silk top with a structured white silk skirt]. It's so different - girlie with an edge," she gushed.
Dianna's career has now moved into big-budget movies, and she recently starred alongside Hollywood greats Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer in The Family.
The 27-year-old actress has had some great experiences thanks to her A-list status and recently travelled to Venice in Italy to visit Louis Vuitton's factory.
"Fashion is art. Such incredible workmanship goes into every piece. At the Louis Vuitton factory I saw workers making shoes from scratch, and I even got to hammer a locket onto a heel myself! I used to see clothes and shoes as just, well, clothes and shoes. Not anymore," she gushed to the US edition of Glamour magazine.

Setting up a layaway is super easy and we are happy to provide this service!
Here's how deposits work on a standard layaway:
Using the "Ask a question" link found within each item's listing on the site, let us know that you would like to layaway an item. If you want to layaway more then one item just let us now in the note which items you are asking about
We will then email you an invoice directly to your inbox with a link to complete your payment. Payments can be made using any of our usual payment methods - Visa, MasterCard, American Express or PayPal.
If you are a regular client who has a record of successful transactions and layaway's and wish to set up a plan that is outside of the above terms please feel free to email.
As soon as we receive the deposit that means you have agreed to all terms set forth on this page.
Items are not marked sold until the initial deposit has been received
Items purchased through layaway are final sale and any & all payments made are non-refundable
Payments which are not completed within the mutually agreed upon period may be forfeited and the items in question re-listed. We make every effort to accommodate our clients so please contact us if there are any problems or delays at your end once a layaway is underway.
If you forfeit on a layaway you may no longer use this service in the future unless we mutually agree. Persons that have a history of non payment on layaway items will have those privileges revoked
Sale items in general are not eligible for layaway but we will make exceptions for existing clients and if we are asked nicely. Please email us and decisions will be made on a case by case basis.
Please do not set up a layaway unless you are confident that you can make the proper payments - shopping completely out of one's budget is never encouraged.
Holds are a tricky thing since everything is one of a kind. I do understand that sometimes you cannot get to your computer to complete your purchase so here is the policy on holds that I think is fair.
If you are a new client and have not purchased with me before I will hold an item on the What's New page for 3 hours and any other item for 6 hours.
If you are a repeat client then you may hold any item for a 24 hour period. Very occasionally I will extend that time period depending on our individual relationship and the circumstances.
Persons that have a history of asking to hold items and then not purchasing, especially without touching base will have hold privileges revoked. Sale & reduced items are not eligible for holds.
We do not rent out garments. Loaning of garments is generally not done but we have made exceptions for red carpet events and editorials at our discretion. Unfortunately we are no longer lending to Canadian magazine or creative due to unwarranted backlash from modelling agencies. Please contact us with your request.

Below is a comprehensive list of menopause symptoms...
Strictly speaking symptoms only occur when periods have finally stopped. It is generally recommended to allow a year to pass before drawing this conclusion.
These symptoms, which can be experienced in the years before the onset of menopause (sometimes referred to as peri-menopause), are generally far worse than those following after. In some women symptoms can start ten years before, sometimes they can persist from 5 to 10 years after.
Menopause is a time when women begin to notice changes in their skin... wrinkles, lines, sagging jowls. For practical solutions to aging skin see this... Wrinkle Free Skin Tips Face Exercise

2D HUD in JOGL
I've seen topics posted elsewhere about doing a 2D HUD in OpenGL using the orthogonal perspective but I'm having trouble doing it in Java using JOGL.
Here is what I have so far...
These are my two methods for switching into and out of the orthogonal mode:
Java Code:public void switchToOrtho(GLAutoDrawable drawable) { GL2 gl = drawable.getGL().getGL2(); gl.glDisable(GL2.GL_DEPTH_TEST); gl.glMatrixMode(GL2.GL_PROJECTION); gl.glPushMatrix(); gl.glLoadIdentity(); gl.glOrthof(0, drawable.getWidth(), 0, drawable.getHeight(), -1, 1); gl.glMatrixMode(GL2.GL_MODELVIEW); gl.glLoadIdentity(); } public void switchBackToFrustum(GLAutoDrawable drawable) { GL2 gl = drawable.getGL().getGL2(); gl.glEnable(GL2.GL_DEPTH_TEST); gl.glMatrixMode(GL2.GL_PROJECTION); gl.glPopMatrix(); gl.glMatrixMode(GL2.GL_MODELVIEW); }
Java Code:switchToOrtho(drawable); gl.glBegin(GL2.GL_QUADS); // Begin drawing quads gl.glVertex2f(0.0f, 100.0f); // Top left vertex gl.glVertex2f( 100.0f, 100.0f); // Top right vertex gl.glVertex2f( 100.0f,0.0f); // Bottom right vertex gl.glVertex2f(0.0f,0.0f); // Bottom left vertex gl.glEnd(); // Finish drawing quads switchBackToFrustum(drawable);
Does anyone have any ideas what the problem is?
EDIT: Someone else saw the problem with my code - apparently, I just needed to draw the vertices in reverse order.Last edited by TrekSoft; 07-19-2011 at 03:55 AM. Reason: Problem solved

Haha, yer that happens a lot in the early stages of developing game engines, I've fallen for that many times myself, fortunately once you've done it once you usually remember to check the winding order from then on :). These days I just do all my 2D stuff with culling off though, saves the need to check the winding order and nets a slight performance gain too :D.

The recycling project in Mexico is developing into a wonderful initiative. There are a few points around the small fishing village of Punta Allen where people have containers where they separate recycling. Everyday somebody will take charge of collecting the recycling around town with a tricycle. They also collect organic waste from restaurants and houses around town. In one day, they can collect up to 400kg of organic waste and 20kg of plastic.
We had been using a tricycle which had been donated by the municipality however due to the weight of the daily recycling the tires were damaged. Donations to this project helped us to purchase new tires specially designed to hold up to a ton so they can carry their waste and plastics around easily. As the tricycle now works much more efficiently larger quantities can be managed and staff are not injuring themselves as they struggle with flat tires.
As more and more people are joining the initiative we needed to make more containers to place around town. We bought the material needed and the community worked together to make them. As a result many more families now separate their waste.
As we do not yet have a built structure at the centre we also used some of the metallic wire to create more organized spaces where people can place recycling and made more containers for the compost which is being produced. The wire helps to hold the "compost cakes" in place.
In other news we are thrilled to share we recently entered this project into a competition to receive some government funding and we were successful, this really is amazing news although the funds will not cover the full cost of building a centre so we will be maintaining our fundraising efforts.
Many thanks to everyone who has supported this project.

I have taught myself everything I know. I use books, tv shows, the internet. If there is something I can't quite figure out I google it, there are likely tons of tutorials and videos out there for any technique you are looking to learn. Beyond that, practice! practice! practice! I always have practiced on real cakes. Small cakes that you can give away or let your family eat up when you are done are perfect. I have read that decorating/covering a dummy cake is not like decorating/covering a real cake so I have always stayed away from them unless I need an actual dummy cake.

James Currier needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 506 designs submitted by 117 freelance designers.
Ooga or OOGA
We are a creative, fun, intelligent and classy technology greenhouse in San Francisco. We start multiple online consumer internet companies including http://www.wonderhill.com and http://www.medpedia.com. Our current site is very ghetto: http://www.oogalabs.com
This logo will establish our style for everything we do... the website, the t-shirts, the notebooks, and business cards.
The first job of our logo is to give us style that will help us recruit software engineers and designers to be full time employees and build websites. They want a cool, exciting, sophisticated place to work. The second job of our logo is to make us trustworthy yet exciting to the technology investors and press. They want us to look smart, yet breaking new ground with energy.
Software engineers, technology journalists and investors, financial journalists.
The logo should simple say "OOGA" or "Ooga" and have a design that includes dots, circles or ovals. This is the reference source.
That logo won our last contest and we like the flexibility of the concept. But we want some significant variations on that logo:
1) COLORS of the DOTS must be different. We like bright, energetic colors like the ones shown there, but those are Google colors exactly. We need to have energetic, arresting colors, but not Google colors exactly. And we do not like purple.
2) PATTERN of the DOTS can be different. We like this pattern OK, but there are a million different ways to use dots around the OOGA and we'd like to see many explorations of that.
3) SHAPE of the DOTS can be different. We like circles very well, but we'd like to see some other ideas.
4) TREATMENT of the DOTS must be different. The dots in the demonstration logo are flat. The winning dots will look cooler, maybe 3D, maybe like drops on clean surface, maybe like small buttons, the will have something to show quality, intelligence, coolness.
5) TYPEFACE of the LETTERS must be different. We need some type that is strong, confident and easilty readable (this is important), but looks a little bit unique.
6) COLORS of the LETTERS. The OOGA letters can be colored, black or dark grey. Try something different.

Monetary policy and the behavior of long-term real interest rates
A time-honored description of the "monetary transmission channel" suggests that the Fed controls the federal funds rate, which affects the rates on longer-term credit market instruments, which affect the expected real (inflation-adjusted) rates on longer-term instruments, which affect real spending on interest-sensitive goods, which affects unemployment and inflation. And yet one key link in the chain, the expected real long-term interest rate, is not observable.> This article explores the link between the behavior of monetary policy and inferences about the behavior of the expected long-term real rate of interest. Analysis of this link reveals a sound empirical basis for the standard transmission channel. It also provides an explanation of the Bernanke-Blinder observation that short-term nominal rates are highly correlated with real output, an explanation that is fully consistent with the standard transmission channel.

BOSTON – A Pittsfield, Mass.-based discount travel business and its affiliate have been ordered by a court to stop using alleged deceptive marketing to sell travel memberships, Attorney General Martha Coakley announced last month.
According to a statement, Coakley's office sued the companies and their owners for offering memberships to book travel at deeply discounted prices, and misleading consumers into paying several thousands of dollars for promised benefits that were never provided or refunded.
The complaint, alleges that Berkshire Concepts LLC and Netrate Concepts LLC, together with their affiliate CRW Marketing Inc. and owners Charles Whiteman, of Dennis, and Daniel Merritt of Pittsfield, used high-pressure sales tactics to offer consumers free travel incentives and extreme discounts on travel. The companies instead charged consumers thousands of dollars for access to a "proprietary software" database that failed to provide the promised discounts.
The statement said that a preliminary injunction was entered prohibiting the defendants from violating the state's consumer protection laws, including advertising "free" travel that requires consumers to pay taxes and fees, advertising access to nonexistent "wholesale" travel discounts, and holding consumers to a three-day cancellation period when they have not yet received access to the companies' website. •

Home to the Patriots basketball team, the venue seats 1,700 also serves as a sanctuary for larger campus services and events. It is also the site of the University's commencement, convocations, and their annual leadership event, this year featuring Mike Huckabee as a presenter.
"The school needed an easy-to-use system for most of the events held in the venue, and they were very familiar with the Yamaha name," states Dave Knight, owner of Knight Audio. A 25-speaker Yamaha IF-2112m system was chosen for its value and quality. The system is configured with six IF speakers covering the main floor, an additional eight IF speakers per side covering the main seating area, and three IF speakers that cover rear seating. "The system can be reconfigured depending on the type of function held in the space," says Knight. Eight Yamaha P5000 amplifiers power the system.
"I had a good experience working with Knight Audio," said Jeff Meadors, Director of Video Productions at Cumberland. "They were very professional and capable as they re-equipped our athletic arena to provide us with the much-needed Yamaha upgrade to our 20-year-old sound system."

In a Scientific and Engineering Breakthrough, NSF-funded Team Samples Antarctic Lake Beneath the Ice SheetSamples may contain microbes from an ecosystem isolated for thousands of years, with implications for the search for life elsewhere in extreme environments
For b-roll from WISSARD drilling in Antarctica, contact Dena Headlee at (703) 292-7739 or email@example.com In a first-of-its-kind feat of science and engineering, a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded research team has successfully drilled through 800 meters (2,600 feet) of Antarctic ice to reach a subglacial lake and retrieve water and sediment samples that have been isolated from direct contact with the atmosphere for many thousands of years. Scientists and drillers with the interdisciplinary Whillans Ice Stream Subglacial Access Research Drilling project (WISSARD) announced Jan. 28 local time (U.S. stations in Antarctica keep New Zealand time) that they had used a customized clean hot-water drill to directly obtain samples from the waters and sediments of subglacial Lake Whillans. The samples may contain microscopic life that has evolved uniquely to survive in conditions of extreme cold and lack of light and nutrients. Studying the samples may help scientists understand not only how life can survive in other extreme ecosystems on Earth, but also on other icy worlds in our solar system. The WISSARD teams' accomplishment, the researchers said, "hails a new era in polar science, opening a window for future interdisciplinary science in one of Earth's last unexplored frontiers." A massive ice sheet, almost two miles thick in places, covers more than 95 percent of the Antarctic continent. Only in recent decades have airborne and satellite radar and other mapping technologies revealed that a vast, subglacial system of rivers and lakes exists under the ice sheet. Lakes vary in size, with the largest being Vostok Subglacial Lake in the Antarctic interior that is comparable in size to Lake Ontario. WISSARD targeted a smaller lake (1.2 square miles in area), where several lakes appear linked to each other and may drain to the ocean, as the first project to obtain clean, intact samples of water and sediments from a subglacial lake. The achievement is the culmination of more than a decade of international and national planning and 3 1/2 years of project preparation by the WISSARD consortium of U.S. universities and two international contributors. There are 13 WISSARD principal investigators representing eight different U.S. institutions. NSF, which manages the United States Antarctic Program, provided over $10 million in grants as part of NSF's International Polar Year portfolio to support the WISSARD science and development of related technologies. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Cryospheric Sciences Program, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the private Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation also provided support for the project. The interdisciplinary research team includes groups of experts in the following areas of science: life in icy environments, led by John Priscu, of Montana State University; glacial geology, led by Ross Powell, of Northern Illinois University; and glacial hydrology, led by Slawek Tulaczyk, of the University of California, Santa Cruz. Sharing of expertise by the groups of disciplinary experts will allow the data collected to be cast in a systemic, global context. The WISSARD team will now process the water and sediment samples they have collected in hopes of answering seminal questions related to the structure and function of subglacial microbial life, climate history and contemporary ice-sheet dynamics. Video surveys of the lake floor and measurements of selected physical and chemical properties of the waters and sediments will allow the team to further characterize the lake and its environs. The approach to drilling was guided by recommendations in the 2007 National Research Council-sponsored report, "Exploration of Antarctic Subglacial Aquatic Environments: Environmental and Scientific Stewardship," aimed to protect these unique environments from contamination. A team of engineers and technicians directed by Frank Rack, of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, designed, developed and fabricated the specialized hot-water drill that was fitted with a filtration and germicidal UV system to prevent contamination of the subglacial environment and to recover clean samples for microbial analyses. In addition, the numerous customized scientific samplers and instruments used for this project were also carefully cleaned before being lowered into the borehole through the ice and into the lake. Following their successful retrieval, the samples are now being carefully prepared for their shipment off the ice and back to laboratories for numerous chemical and biological analyses over the coming weeks and months. -NSF-

My neighbor Beth rang my doorbell last week and bestowed upon me two beautiful eggplants. Then we went out of town and I came home to those two eggplants staring at me from the refrigerator shelf.
First I thought I would make roasted vegetable briami. Then I remembered that I had a package of provolone cheese slices in the refrigerator drawer. I had never made eggplant parmigiana before and I generally don't love it. But, I had to use these eggplants and thought I would give it a try.
Perfection! My husband even loved it and declared that I should make this on a regular basis. That won't be happening because we don't eat much dairy in our house (which makes me wonder why I had the package of provolone?). You could make this with Daiya dairy-free Mozzarella and it would just taste slightly different.
I also love that this dish is not fried. As much as I would have loved to dip the eggplant into some hot oil and fry it before baking, that just isn't happening at my house very often. But it turned out, we didn't need to fry it and the flavors were rich and comforting.
Bread crumb notes: We always have gluten free bread crumbs in our freezer. When I get down to the ends of the bread I throw them in a bag in the freezer. When I accumulate a few pieces I give them a whirl in the blender. Then I put the breadcrumbs in a container in the freezer. And I have purchased many loaves of gluten free bread that are too dry to consume. They get made into bread crumbs too.
Marinara notes: Use your favorite jar of marinara or spaghetti sauce for this recipe. I am loving the Mario Batali version. It is not certified as gluten free but we don't seem to have any problems with it so far. It is a little pricey so I buy it when it is on sale and I buy a case so I get an additional discount.
Eggplant Parmigiana
1 large eggplant, sliced into 1/4" slices
1 cup gluten free flour
3 eggs
1 cup gluten free bread crumbs
1 bottle marinara sauce
8 slices provolone cheese or shredded dairy-free Mozzarella
1 teaspoon season salt
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
cooking oil spray
Preheat oven to 350.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In one bowl put the flour mixed with 1 teaspoon season salt. In the second bowl, crack the eggs and whisk with a fork . In the third bowl, combine the bread crumbs with the dried oregano and basil.
Bread the eggplant slices. Start by dipping one slice into the flour. Lift the eggplant out of the flour and shake off any excess flour. Next dip the floured eggplant in to the egg. Lift out of the egg and allow any excess egg to drip off. Then lay the eggplant in the breadcrumbs and make sure both sides are coated with crumbs. Once covered set on a plate. Finish all of the eggplant slices in this manner.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spray with spray oil. Place pieces of eggplant in the pan in one layer, leaving room to not crowd the eggplant. Allow to brown on the first side, about 2 minutes. Using thongs, flip over the eggplant pieces and brown on the other side for 2 minutes. Place on a plate. Continue browning all the eggplant in this manner. Respray the pan between batches.
In a medium sized casserole dish pour ¼ of the marinara sauce. Lay a layer of eggplant slices on the marinara (generally 4-6 pieces of eggplant). Cover the eggplant with a layer of provolone. Pour another ¼ of the marinara on top of the cheese. Continue to layer the sauce, eggplant and cheese until you have a final layer of cheese.
Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until the eggplant is cooked through and the top layer of cheese has browned.
Serve hot.

Hold on a second.
A woman calls you from dead guys phone asking if you called. But you didn't. She obviously doesn't know how to use the Recent Calls list or else she wouldn't have called you. She is either making her way through the directory one by one or you are the only one in the directory :eek: and she somehow managed to hit redial.
There's too many unknowns and I need to know more. :D
I was going to suggest this as a good story line for a movie but it's been done:
04-16-2011, 09:05 PM"The efforts of the government alone will never be enough. In the end the people must choose and the people must help themselves" ~ JFK; from his famous inauguration speech (What Democrats sounded like before today's neo-Liberals hijacked that party)

I butt called the same guy over and over after I got it and never knew. What I want to know is, who has the goddamn phone now and is doing the same shit again!
You say you talked to some old woman who called you and told you
that [insert name of guy] died. Did you not ask what her connection
to [insert name of guy] was. If she was just a random person that
later ended up with [insert name of guy]'s phone, she wouldn't have
known that he was dead. She must have known [insert name of guy]
personally, to have been the one who told you he'd dead.

text: TarbesTarbes (tärb) [key], city (1990 pop. 50,228), capital of Hautes-Pyrénées dept., SW France, on the Adour River. It is an industrial, commercial, and tourist center in a cattle- and horse-raising area. In addition to the traditional forging and leather industries, there are machinery, arsenal, aircraft, and electrical-equipment manufactures. The city was called Bigorra in Roman times and was later the capital of the earldom of Bigorre. In the 6th cent. it became an episcopal see. Invaded and destroyed many times in the course of its history, Tarbes was joined to the French crown in the 16th cent. In the city are the Cathedral of Notre-Dame-de-la-Sède (13th–15th cent.), the churches of St. Jean and St. Thérèse (13th cent.), and the base of a tower of an old castle built by the counts of Bigorre. Théophile Gautier and Marshal Ferdinand Foch were born in Tarbes. The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 6th ed. Copyright © 2012, Columbia University Press. All rights reserved.
