WOW my jaw dropped when they didn't award that penalty. Blatant bias to allow ManU back in the game, credit to them for taking it

Of course there are better teams on here, but how about those with a 100mill budget? much more like real life for a manager making tough decisions. My first dr...

Which week are you on in your cycle?
Week 1
First day of period to Day 7
Today's hormonescope: Your curiosity is easily piqued today as rising estrogen urges you to investigate the world around you. As a result, you may click on more links as you surf the web, read more articles in the newspaper or a magazine, grab a flyer for a new restaurant in town or do anything else that gives you more new information you can digest.
Week 2
Day 8 to Day 13
Today's hormonescope: This is a the perfect week to clear the clutter out of your closets, storage bins and personal life. High estrogen is pumping you full of energy, making it easier to tackle exhausting tasks. Plus, even more importantly, it's making you less sentimental than during any other week of your cycle. As a result, you'll feel less emotional about cutting things and people loose, making it easier to part with the shoes that look adorable but give you blisters every time you wear them, the dress that cost a week's salary but hasn't fit in three years, mementos from the date you went on with that cutie from two summers ago who you were hoping to run into again, and that frenemy who has a killer networking list but is seriously too high drama to make her worth keeping.
Week 3
Day 14 (or ovulation) to Day 22
Today's hormonescope: While others may get passionate about a debate, issue or event, you will probably find it hard to get worked up. That's because this week's rising progesterone has you feeling quieter, sedate and less interested in blowing your dwindling energy on something as silly as whether vuvuzelas should be banned from the next pool party.
Week 4
Day 23 to the end of cycle
Today's hormonescope: You may feel like you've had enough of an annoying person or problem and want to make a drastic change, such as breaking up or quitting your job. While the issue may be real, descending estrogen is exaggerating your irritation about it because it's bringing down your bran's level of the mood-regulating chemical serotonin. Before you make a major decision, consider waiting until Week 1. That's when estrogen rises again, giving a boost to serotonin. If you're still as irked by the issue then, go ahead and make your move. You'll feel more confident and have fewer regrets about it.

Nothing refrigerated or frozen is going to be found....
Hello all, after looking over the food conversion chart found so many names of things i have been looking for, but did not find what " Crisco shortening" would be called here. The only thing I can seem to find is lard. Can anyone help? Thank you
The Canadian Shop Britwife mentioned has Rice-A-Roni, for anyone missing "The San Fransisco Treat."
Oh thanks! Now I have that little jingle in my head all day!

Sales of new homes plunged in November by the largest amount in nearly 12 years, providing the most dramatic evidence yet that the red hot housing market during the past five years is starting to cool down.
The Commerce Department reported Friday that new single-family homes were sold at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.245 million units last month, a drop of 11.3 percent from October, when sales had surged to an all-time high.
Last month's decline was even bigger than the 8.7 percent drop-off that Wall Street analysts had been expecting. While sales of both new and existing homes are still on track to set records for a fifth straight year in 2005, analysts are forecasting sales will decline in 2006 as the housing boom quiets down.

This week it's all about the
Eye Candy!!
You all know what I mean. The films that please the eye just as much (and usually more) than should be legal, no matter what the rest of the film is like. Some might call these Chick Flicks, which just may be my favorite genre. But they don't have to be. I'm sure men have their own versions of eye candy movies. (My husband's include anything having to do with Ellen Barkin, for instance).
BUT...all of the movies on my list are actually decent movies on their own. The visuals simply make them better.
#1. Pirates of the Caribbean (either the original or the sequel). Orlando Bloom. Keira Knightly for those who like female eye candy. And...
Johnny Depp. Sigh. Normally I wouldn't go for a guy who looks better in eye makeup than I do, but this is no regular guy. He can borrow my mascara any old time he wants to.
Johnny Depp. Sigh. I don't know how anyone who looks that skanky can look that good. Anyone see Chocolat? The man doesn't have a bad angle on him.
I have to stop now. The room is spinning.
When the first movie came out my mom and I took my kids to a multi-plex theatre to see it. (One of the few "kids" movies I've actively promoted going to see). At the last minute Surfer Dude decided it would be too scary and that he didn't want to see it. As luck would have it, Mr. Bean (with Rowan Atkinson) was playing at the same time and that's what SD wanted to see. Well, he was too young to go alone and he wanted me to go with him. My mom took the other two to see Pirates and I went to see...Mr. Bean.
If that isn't mother's love I don't know what is. And don't think I've ever let him forget it.
#2. The Italian Job. I would be hard pressed to think of a movie I sat down to watch with lower expectations that I enjoyed so much. This is a really fun film and I highly recommend it. It's fast, it's clever and it's pretty funny to boot.
It's also absolutely beautiful, both the locations and how it's shot. (That's the Mrs. Film Geek opinion anyway).
And then there's the cast. Mark Wahlberg, Edward Norton and Seth Green (who may be my favorite in the whole thing, because we all know that I have a taste for nerds). To even it all out and bring in the other demographic there's Charlize Theron.
To say that she holds her own against a testosterone charged line-up is an understatement.
This movie even provides a hint of what Keifer Sutherland will look like in a few years, thanks to a small role by Donald Sutherland. (I think I prefer him now, thanks).
#3. Love, Actually. Right. Like this is a surprise to anyone. Just so we're totally straight on this - I actually love this movie. Not just like, not strong affection. I. Actually. Love. This. Movie. It is the perfect Christmas film.
Okay. Now that that's out of the way, let's get to the candy. In a nutshell here's my opinion - if you can't find someone in this film who moves you somehow - you're dead. This is a classic example of something for everyone.
It's hard to know where to even start. Colin Firth. Liam Neeson. Alan Rickman. Swoon. Laura Linney. Keira Knightly. Emma Thompson- who I might even switch teams for. Amazingly enough, this is just the A-team of actors in this film. There are many more still to come.
And Hugh Grant. Don't even start - you've all made your opinions very clear to me on this, especially you British babes. But I can't help it. It's a sickness I can't get rid of. (Not that I want to, as much as I love you all and respect your opinions). He pretty much hits all cylinders in my book, although I could certainly do without the dancing. But still...
I'm now pausing for a short break in this Thursday Three to say that from here on out I'm through apologizing and I'm PROUD of my unpopular little fixation. So DEAL WITH IT!! Ahhh...I feel better now.
Just disregard the bottom one, okay? 'Kay.
Now...back to the original topic...
Then there's the rest of the cast. Eye candy across the board. The actor who plays Karl, the art director that the Laura Linney character lusts after? Pictured ever so sweetly above.
Grrr..... Brother? What brother?
This is the one bad part of the film, because I always shout at the screen - TURN OFF YOUR PHONE!!!! It's painful to watch. The scene. Not him. He looks just fine. Doesn't hurt my eyes a bit.
And just for laurie, who commented "oh, and the only eye candy for me? Ciaran Hinds. you'd better post a big picture of him with your thursday three. hopefully, wearing that gigantic and absurd hat he wore in "persuasion," the best chick flick of all time bar none. in my book, you only need a thursday One this week. persuasion."
Couldn't find a shot with the hat, but I may have to check this movie out. If the picture is any indication...

Val Kilmer. Take your pick, but I love him in "The Saint". and "Tombstone". I loved him back when he did "Top Gun" and "Real Genius". Get it? I love him. Oh, yeah, and "The Doors". He's even hot when he plays gay in "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang".
And while we're on the subject of that movie, add Robert Downey, Jr. I know he's a mess, but he's so damn cute. My favorite one of his movies, though, is "Restoration", but this obsession goes way back, too; think "The Pick-Up Artist" and "Less Than Zero".
Last but definitely not least, the lovely, perfect, he-only-gets-better-with-age, Johnny Depp. John Christopher Depp. Oh, yeah, I have it bad. I've seen "Ed Wood". And kinda liked it. My favorite Johnny Depp movie, though, is "Don Juan DeMarco". But I'll sit still for "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" or "Benny and Joon", or "Donnie Brasco". Heck, I even saw "Secret Window". Now that, my friends, is devotion.

I see that I need to go out and rent some DVD's before I can start swooning myself. I am hopelessly behind in my movie watching. I am persuaded to watch Persuasion, there is somebody very beautiful in it. I don't care much for old Hugh, he knows he is good looking and he is too much of a heart throb for me. I am glad you made this list. It's been very helpful. Thank you!

well you already know that love actually is my all time favorite christmas movie...yep, eye candy up the wazoo. colin firth is my man hunk of choice, but hugh in notting hill *sigh* (i also liked him in music & lyrics) and yes, the guy who plays carl...you feel like shouting to the screen DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE! but then we all know that she has to. man, oh, man he had squeezable buns. trying to think he else would make my list....right now i'm frazzled from my christmas dinner w the inlaws so i'll have to report back later.

I've got the Jonny Depp thing bad, too. I watched 21 Jump Street and was eternally hooked. There isn't a thing you can do to him to make him ugly. You have to be pretty darn good looking to be able to say that about you!
I'll agree to the Hugh Grant thing as well. He even looked good in his mug shot. Again, you've got to start off hot to look good there.
I have been debating who the third hotty would be. I can't decide so I'll give you some contenders: young Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Matt Damon, Denzel Washington, and Pierce Brosnan (the voice doesn't hurt him one bit).

Sean Connery, Alan Rickman (his voice reduces me to shreds) and Liam Neeson for me.

wow, from Mr. Bean (at whose face i almost coughed my coffee back up) to ciaran hinds!!
i couldn't find any picture of him in that ridiculous hat either, but i'll take the one you posted.
as for those other movies? the only one i've seen was "love, actually," which was delightful.
did you ever see hugh grant in "sense and sensibility"? he was wearing one of those high stiff collars and he acted like he couldn't move his neck. every time he bobbed onto the screen, moving his entire upper body every time he wanted to turn, i laughed. so now that's what i think of whenever i see him. i laugh.

ok, hold the phone...HOLD THE PHONE!!!!
has nobody mentioned John Cuscak? specifically, John Cusack holding the boombox over his head in the rain with that mournful and love-soaked expression on his face in "Say Anything????
you'd better post that picture, too, Rotten.

I had a hard time deciding between Robert Downey, Jr., and John Cusack. I really loved him in "Gross Pointe Blank". And "Serendipity". Then there's "High Fidelity" and "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil". I've been in love with him since "Better Off Dead" and "One Crazy Summer".

Ahh RC. I think Hugh Grant is ok sometimes. It's just he seems to overplay the dithering Englishman a little too much you know.
1. Pirates of the Caribbean - I agree.
2. Love Actually - Yes, and in the minor cast there is also yummy Andrew Lincoln (The best man who is n love with Keira Knightly.)
3. The Outsiders - Patrick Swayze, Matt Dilon, Rob Lowe, C.Thomas Howell, Ralph Macchio, Tom Cruise, Emilio Estevez...there's almost someone there for everybody right??
When I first saw it in 1991 I was about 16 and in love with Patrick Swayze, Matt Dillon and Rob Lowe. I used to love Brat Pack films.
Big sighhhhh.

- Jen said...
Okay, I agree with Kaycie on Val Kilmer in "Tombstone", although there may be something wrong with us that we think a consumptive, alcoholic character with tuberculosis is hot.
I also agree with those who mentioned Liam Neeson ( I like guys with big noses, sue me), and John Cusack. And I agree with with Jo about the Brat Pack films, but for me, back then, it was Judd Nelson.
I suppose I can keep my girl card after all!

- Potty Mummy said...
OK, I know it's really cliched, but I can't believe that NONE of you have mentioned Ocean's 11. Or 12. Or 13. I mean, come on! George Clooney. Brad Pitt. And last but by no means least, Matt Damon. In fact, anything with Matt Damon in it will work. Let me say that name again. Matt Damon. Breathe, PM. Breathe, damn it!

I had a really hard time leaving David Duchovny off my list. There is an X-Files marathon on SciFi today, and I just watched him in all of his angsty glory. My favorite Duchovny movie is probably "Return to Me" but I also loved "Evolution". Then there's "Julia Has Two Lovers". And I've seriously considered getting Showtime just to watch "Californication".
I also know every word to "David Duchovny" by Bree Sharp.
That's kind of sad, isn't it? Now, back to my X-Files marathon. Please don't bother me while I watch.

kaycie - If you had of told me all those 21 Jump Street years ago that the man would look even better now - I would have laughed in your face. But damned if he doesn't. Rober Downey Jr. has something about him. Val Kilmer has never done much for me personally, but I can see where he would. And I think David Duchovney rocks. I guess moody and broody is a type I like.
Thanks for the Hugh backup. I needed it!
I DO appreciate what you and laurie are doing for my comment count. Merci beaucoup.
my two cents - say what??
altaglow - Sean Connery is hot. No question. When he's 90 he'll still be hot.
sweet irene - well, go and rent some of them, then. You can thank us all later for giving you such a comprehensive visual guide.
ciara - I've always been a huge Liam Neeson fan, but I have to say that in Love, Actually I think that Colin Firth is THE best part of the whole thing.
Stacie - I totally agree about Johnny Depp. How is it possible to not even have ONE bad angle? I also love Matt Damon and Will Smith. (I always thought it was funny that Ben Affleck got tagged as the "heartthrob" between he and Matt Damon. Says who??)
flowerpot - I could listen to Alan Rickman talk all day.
laurie - I'm on a roll, as it seems that my Mr. Bean picture has vanished as well. Day-um. I did see Sense and Sensibility, now that you mention it. Would I be likely to miss a movie that has Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson AND Alan Rickman?
And I don't know what in the world you mean about him moving his neck all weird. He was just in character, okay? You know - Hugh Grant, noted method actor?
John Cusack - yeah, baby!
Jo - I know that deep down you really have a thing for Hugh and cover it up just for the sake of appearances. It's okay, sweetie. Your secret is safe with me. Truly.
Ah yes, the Brat Pack. I remember the Outsiders well. That was one heck of a cast.
Jen - have you bought Love, Actually yet? You can keep your girl card for now, but we'll validate it after you've seen this.
potty mummy - I am so there with you on Matt Damon. I think he's absolutely fabulous. And I think George Clooney is another one who just gets better with age. And he was pretty fine to start with. Ocean's (fill in the #) was a contender with me, believe me.

Oh my god! I thought it was only me who thinks Ciaran Hinds is a god. That picture gives him credit. Hugh Grant I'm not so sure about. I just think he's awfully smarmy.
Johnny Depp - no.

I am LOVING your topic today, sis! You rock at this...as if you didn't know that already.
My #1 has got to be John Cusak. He is the guy I want to grow old with. "I gave her my heart and she gave me a pen" is my favorite line from a movie. I just watched "1408" and still he does it. Insane, freaked-out, mother f'er and still I get hot and bothered. I think there is something seriously wrong with me. Well, maybe not????
#2- Hard Candy. Since I just saw it last night, Patrick Wilson is my new "it" dude at the moment. He really just takes the cake. I mean, he is being castrated (or so he thinks???? Did I forget to say Spoiler Alert?) and when the tear rolls down his perfectly sculpted cheekbones, I get tingly in my nether regions.
#3- What about a step back in time? St. Elmo's Fire. Rob Lowe. Emilio Estevez. Andrew McCarthy. Judd Nelson. ROB FREAKIN LOWE, people! His blue eyes pierce you through the screen. Jules, as you know I am too addicted to the geeks, so Andrew McCarthy is it for me. Pretty in Pink...Fresh Horses....anything!
OH, and Julie...two words
Nuff Said???? LOVE U BUNCHES, Sis

I'm Wondering If They Can Score A Run.
Talent is God Given: be humble.
Fame is man given: be thankful.
Conceit is self given: be careful.
John Wooden
With this team, it's all about who shows up. They're going to do this about once every three games. It's unusal to have them do it on back to back nights like this, though.
Rounding third and heading for home...
I think it's that you all just can't seem to resist starting these jinx threads.
"Reality tells us there are no guarantees. Except that some day Jon Lester will be on that list of 100-game winners." - Peter Gammons

RedEye (09-10-2013),RedlegJake (09-11-2013)
All of a sudden, Travis Wood is Tom Browning, and Jackson is Roger Clemens.
I'd say with as few games left as there are, there's a lot to be worried about. We won two out of the three vs. LA by the skin of our teeth. I'm not convinced this offense can get it done in the playoffs.

Two days ago, I was pretty optimistic we could make a run at the division. Of course, still very doable but if we could get back to winning tomorrow night, I'd consider it a personal favor.
Reds & Nats, 2013 LCS. Take2 (9/13) Reds but no Nats
just see the offense struggling as in the regular season. While we won 6 of 7 against LA and STL, we didn't exactly light up the scoreboard.
Nats have started selling playoff tickets. Quixotic, but not impossible.
I am not feeling better again.
Well we're bad again. Bats are dead. Reds look like a team satisfied with just making the playoffs. But they had better pick it up a little or the Nats may just catch therm. Crazier things have happened and if the Reds don't find some sense of urgency this season will end in a disaster.

Berlin 1`20, Moscow 2`00, Stockholm 1`50, Oslo 1`55, Copenhagen 1`30, London 2`40, New York 9`35, Helsinki 1`55, Dublin 5`00, Amsterdam 2`05, Brussels 2`10, Luxembourg 3`25, Paris 2`20, Vienna 1`20, Lisbon 5`40, Madrid 3`30, Rome 2`20, Athens 2`35, Tokyo 22`30, Beijing 22`00, Seoul 22`30, Bangkok 19`30, Singapore 22`00, Jakarta 25`00
Flight delay or cancellation
A delay caused by a strike or technical problems, or the cancellation of a flight, is covered by EU law. In these situations, the air carriers have the responsibility to provide assistance to passengers. The airlines should inform passengers about the status of the delay and provide meals and beverages free of charge.
You have a right to compensation of between 250 and 600 EUR in two cases (a) when, because of a flight delay, you reach your destination more than three hours after the scheduled time of arrival and (b) when your flight is cancelled. The carrier won't be obligated to compensate passengers if a delay or cancellation was caused by extraordinary circumstances, e.g. a strike at an airport. You have the right to a refund of the cost of the unused ticket or you can accept re-routing to your destination.
Lost luggage
If your baggage has been lost, you should go to the information point at the airport and fill out a Property Irregularity Report (PIR), making sure you save a copy for your records.
The next step is to lodge a complaint against the airline. You have seven days to send a complaint in case of your bag being damaged, or 21 days when it is delayed. The maximum amount of compensation under the Montréal Convention is 1.131 Special Drawing Rights or roughly 1.370 EUR.
Car rental
In Poland there are international car rentals.
Usually a credit card is required to rent a car. Before you rent a car, check if the vehicle has full insurance. Some promotional offers do not cover all eventualities and in the event of a collision you may not be fully protected. The insurance policy, likewise, may not cover all parts of the car. The price of petrol is around 1.40 – 1.50 EUR per litre in Poland.
Travel by train
In Poland, you can plan your journey using the following site: http://rozklad-pkp.pl/bin/query.exe/en? (the website is available in English).
Tickets can be purchased at the station but it is advisable to book them in advance.
Delayed train
If your journey was delayed by more than one hour, you have the right to compensation under EU legislation. This amounts to 25% of the ticket price when the delay was between 60 and 119 minutes and 50% of the ticket price when the train was delayed for 120 minutes or more. This refers to routes in Poland and the EU with trains like Express, InterCity, Express InterCity, EuroCity or EuroNight. The passenger should ask a conductor to confirm the delay on a ticket and then should lodge a written complaint to the rail carrier. It should be noted that regulations which allow you to seek compensation for the delay are not applicable to public transport and regional transport (e.g. cheap rail lines) in Poland.
Public transport
Tickets can be bought in ticket vending machines, at bus stations, at a kiosk or from the bus driver. The prices of train and bus tickets in Poland oscillate between 0,5 – 0,9 cents.
In Poland, we suggest taking company taxis, not private ones as it is easy to fall victim to crooks. Don't get into cars displaying a taxi sign unless the taxi company's name and telephone number is clearly shown, and information on fare per kilometre is displayed clearly on the side window. Private taxis may provide information about fares, but these will often be very high even for one kilometre or just for commencing a drive, and displayed on the front window or in tiny font so that it is difficult to read.
Before getting into a taxi, it is useful to ask for an estimate of the total fare. The average price for one kilometre in a company taxi in host cities is 2.40 PLN (approx. 60 cents), plus a service charge of approximately 8 PLN (2 EUR). On the weekends, holidays and at night rates are roughly 50% higher.
There is a single universal system of classification for hotels in Poland. Hotels have from 1 to 5 stars:
* Hotels of a basic standard with modestly furnished rooms
** A simple middle class facilities with functional rooms.
*** A good middle class hotel offers a competent service.
**** Comfortable facilities with high standard of service and accommodation.
***** Luxurious facilities of the highest standard, designed to satisfy the most demanding customers.
If you have booked a 3-star hotel in Poland, you can expect the following:
Internet access, access to the computer (not necessarily in the room), payment by credit card, facilities for disabled people, a separate bathroom with cosmetics provided. In addition, consumers are advised to note that there is no guarantee of room service or air conditioning in a 3-star hotel.
A complaint form in English is available at the following address: http://www.konsument.gov.pl/en/kontakt/skarga-do-eck.html.
In Poland, credit cards are accepted in the majority of supermarkets, restaurants, petrol stations and railway stations. However, cash might be necessary for marketplaces, in small shops, local pubs or bars, and for some taxis and buses. Payment in Euro is rarely accepted, so it is advisable to carry Polish currency (PLN). Credit cards are not accepted everywhere.
How much does a lunch cost in a Polish restaurant?
It depends on the location and standard. A package deal which includes a sandwich, chips and drink in a fast food restaurant costs around 4 EUR. In restaurants, a main course with drinks costs approximately 10 EUR. In places with table service, it is common to give a tip (10-15% of the bill), but in some places the tip or service charge is automatically included.
As a result of changes adopted by the European Union, the roaming rates per minute within the EU are as follows: to make a call - 35 cents, to receive a call -11 cents, sending a text message - 11 cents, receiving a text message – free.
An operator is obligated to offer at least one roaming tariff complying with these rules, but it also has the option to enforce other tariffs at higher prices.
Smartphone Internet users shouldn't be worried about large bills, because an automatic block is applied when the transfer limit of 50 EUR is reached. The maximum price payable for 1 MB is 70 cents. In Poland, there is a free WIFI Internet access in most places including city centres, stations or restaurants.
Airline lost your luggage? Polish travel agency hasn't fulfilled the contract? Accommodation in the hotel was of a lower standard than you expected? Car rental payment collected without notice from your credit card? Problems with a product purchased in Poland? Contact the European Consumer Centre (ECC) in your country to lodge a complaint and get help for free. To find the ECC in your country visit http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/ecc/index_en.html
If you need consumer advice while visiting Poland, you can contact the Polish ECC (we also operate in English) on +48 22 55 60 118 (working hours 10am – 2pm, Monday to Friday) or send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. There will also be a special helpline for consumers (working hours 9am – 5pm, Monday to Friday). For free advice in English call +48 800 007 707 (a free number available from landline phones and mobile phones of Polish operators) or the number available for foreign mobile users +48 22 827 54 74 (charges according to the price list of your mobile operator including roaming).
The European Consumer Centres Network (ECC-Net) informs consumers about their rights in the European Union, provides legal advice free of charge and assistance in Alternative Dispute Resolution. Consumers can submit complaints against traders operating throughout the EU, Norway and Iceland, as well as complaints related to travelling in Europe.
Road accident? Street fighting? Need medical assistance? Call the emergency number 112, which operates throughout the EU. By means of this service, you can contact the police, fire services, ambulance services, and other emergency assistance.
The list of diplomatic representatives is available on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Poland:
"I will be leaving Warsaw in a couple of days - it was an unbelievable experience for my husband and I. The staff are second to none - I was happy that my surgeon spoke English and made me feel at ease when I was so nervous in the operating room. I am still having water fall down my cheeks, but they are tears of happiness - I'm so glad I came and had the procedure!"
Lila Cugini, Canada
"I went on a journey to Poland for health and received a treatment like nothing I've experienced in the past. Now I'm on a new journey of health and healing, I really feel like I've gone back in time and regained my health. I just feel so lucky on so many levels."

But I'd still rather much prefer mechanical manual transmissions, obviously for the response. Arguments can be made in electronic control's favour, though.
Bottom line, the american brands can do what european brands do and offer a car at affordable prices with an automatic transmission with electronic shift control, and all the cars pretty much have that now, even the cheap ford focus (selectshift).
I'm sure they'd still offer more manual option vehicles, but I'm also sure that there would be a much higher rate of warranty as well. There's just as many dumbasses who will buy that 5-speed car/truck that don't know how to operate a clutch for the life of them, or have that wife/significant other that rides it like a horribly-broken horse.
It seems you find the availability of manual transmissions in the more expensive models, and that's because the auto makers are fully aware that the people shelling out 10's if not hundreds of thousands of dollars for a 700 hp beast like the Hellcat are going to know how to drive it, whereas the dumbasses who can afford $30,000 300hp camaro's are going to be destroying their cars monthly if there is a third pedal involved.

Banned Books Week celebrates the freedom to choose or the freedom to express one's opinion even if that opinion might be considered unorthodox or unpopular and stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of those unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints to all who wish to read them. After all, intellectual freedom can exist only where these two essential conditions are met.
Banned Books Week in the United States is September 27 - October 4, 2008. Banned Books Week is observed during the last week of September each year. It is the 27th anniversary of this annual American Library Association event which is is sponsored by the American Booksellers Association, American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression, American Library Association, American Society of Journalists and Authors, Association of American Publishers, National Association of College Stores, and is endorsed by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. In honor of Banned Book Week, I'm going to read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, a book that has been on the Challenged book list

Before you write off the People's Choice Awards alltogether, allow me to remind you that last year, the People (who are these People, anyway?) passed over other, reliably milquetoast nominees such as Shrek 2 and The Incredibles in order to give the Best Film award to none other than Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11. Almost a year later, I *still* haven't quite finished unpacking what that says about our culture - so let's jump ahead and make fun of this year's crop of nominees, shall we? It's been decided that the proletariats will line up to fellate their favorite celebrities in two seperate, but indistinguishable categories: Favorite Male/Female Movie Star, and Favorite Leading Man/Lady. What's the difference between a Movie Star and a Leading Lady? I have no clue, but apparently, Renee Zellweger, Reese Witherspoon and Cameron Diaz know something about being ladies that Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman do not. Also, Softpedia is making a big deal out of the fact that Angie and Brad-dad have been nommed together in the Favorite On-Screen Match-up category. "The implications of the couple being nominated for Mr. And Mrs. Smith are immense," somebody Soft writes. "That might force them to appear at the ceremony together, after they have so hard tried to keep their relationship off the press." Yeah ... except, I get the feeling that anyone trying to "force" Angelina Jolie to do anything may be in for an unpleasant surprise.

Hullo everyone
Here is a typical Kishore Kumar song. Combining with RD Burman he gives us a bhajan, qawwali and Hindustani classical all at one shot. Such a song has entertainment value and Kishore Kumar doesn't disappoint (has he ever?) And there are very few Bollywood actors who can carry it off with equal gusto.
Here we have our very own Sanjeev Kumar giving a paisa vasool performance.

Welcome back to the session 4 on 'Resume – Marketing Campaign', today we shall understand how to identify the key words needed for a specific role. As we mentioned in the previous article 'Resume: Keywords' that recruiter will search applicants based on the keywords and it hence vital to have them on the resume. The best way to search for keywords is to look into the online job descriptions (JD) and in case the position is already known incorporate keywords from the given JD.
For example search for online resume banks such monster.com, naukri.com and various others. Let us consider, naukri.com under the bar 'Keywords' lets search for 'System Engineer', let us click on the link that you would be interested to apply.
Lets look into –
-A basic knowledge and understanding of operating systems and database environments as normally obtained through the completion of a Bachelor's degree in computer science.
– Minimum of 5 years experience working in a Linux environment.
– Experience working in a Dev-Ops model, directly supporting high performance development teams
– Ability to wear many hats and pick up new roles
– Passionate about designing and implementing innovative solutions to complex problems
– Senior-level knowledge of the Linux operating system
– Experience with public cloud services (Amazon EC2, Rackspace, Joyent …)
– Fluent with a high-level scripting language (preferably Ruby)
– Experience with configuration management systems (Chef, Puppet …)
– Experience with large relational databases (Specifically MySQL and Oracle RAC)
– Experience with large NoSQL databases, especially of the Key/Value store variety (Riak, Redis, SimpleDB, …)
– Experience supporting and troubleshooting Java application servers (Glassfish, Tomcat, Jboss …)
The bold ones could be the keywords needed for System Engineer: Dev Ops Support. Once you identify these keywords, you will need to place them at appropriate place, where is it? It is ideal to spread the keywords throughout the resume. Let them be places under –
1. Professional Summary or Career Objective
2. Professional Experience
3. Technical Skills or Expertise
4. Education Qualification
5. Achievements and others
Also look for the job title that the employer is seeking against the present designation. Try to use industry preferred title rather than the present or past company specific that was tailor made for only organization. This will help to optimize resume to make a lead from no lead.
We hope you enjoyed reading this session, we shall be back with the session 5 very soon. We welcome your views, suggestions and comments. Good day! God be with you always!

In September 2014, a large U.S. real estate investment trust discovered that systems containing key company information and data that could identify a specific individual had been compromised by cyber attack.
Interestingly, said Surabhi Sheth, executive manager and research leader for Deloitte's real estate services practice, the actual breach happened before April 2014-leaving it unnoticed for more than five months.
"The company recorded a $2.8 million cyber intrusion expense, including investigative fees and identity protection services," Ms. Sheth said. "However, the company has yet to fully understand the modus operandi, the exact data that was compromised and the full amount of damage."
As commercial real estate firms step up their use of technology, they are as vulnerable as anyone to cyber attack. Yet many are unaware of the threat. Fortunately, accounting firms are here to offer protection, or at least awareness.
Because the real estate industry has less identifiable consumer information, said Eric Steiner, the chief information officer at Berdon, there's been less attention paid to the issue of cyber security. "In the last 18 months, cyber security has become more and more a hot topic," Mr. Steiner said. Other industries have long been aware of the problem-but commercial real estate is somewhat late to the party.
The concerns, he said, are both financial and physical. "It's not like people go after one type of company or data. It's not about your 1099s being a target," said Mr. Steiner. "It's no longer will you be attacked-but when."
Ms. Sheth, who, with Bob O'Brien, co-authored Evolving Cyber Risk in Commercial Real Estate: What You Don't Know Can Hurt You, a report released by the Deloitte Center for Financial Services this May, said the tenants' and vendors' increase in connectivity through integration of building management, communication technology and business systems allows hackers to access data through multiple entry points.
Client conversations, the observations of senior partners and the spring 2014 Urban Land Institute (ULI) event were the genesis of the report.
"Interconnectedness through Internet protocol-based networks, HVAC and other industrial control systems and open Wi-Fi networks increase data vulnerability," Ms. Sheth said.
That's what happened at Target in December of 2013. A hacker got to them by first hacking an HVAC vendor who had access to their financial systems and the hack wound up compromising the credit and debit card information of some 40 million Target customers, and the email and mailing addresses of 70 million customers. "You see a lot of these connections between various players and either by design or by accident hackers will get in, targeting low-hanging fruit then seeing where it leads," Mr. Steiner said.
"A firm's entire accounting system could be infiltrated and records with personally identifiable information such as tenant names, addresses and even ACH [or Automated Clearing House] routing numbers if stored for an in-house ACH debit program could be exposed," said Emily Kramer, a vice president at ClickPay, a provider of SaaS (software-as-a-service, a.k.a. electronic, over a network) payment and billing services for multifamily and commercial real estate property managers.
A cyber attack on a commercial real estate firm's accounting system could also wipe out historical payment data, said Ms. Kramer, which would be detrimental to any tenant disputing payments or in a court file.
"The key is being more diligent and using professionals out there to take a look at your systems and see where landlords may be at risk," said Nicholas Loguercio, a certified public accountant and an audit partner at Berdon, who believes awareness must start at the top.
Tenant information (personal and institutional), financial information (ditto) and even schematic information, if leaked, can be devastating to a firm.
"After 9/11, most landlords strengthened their building access policies. Going forward everyone has to be more diligent," said Mr. Loguercio, who has worked in commercial real estate for 25 years.
Mr. Steiner, a 20-year tech veteran, told the story of a chief financial officer whose password was obtained. The hacker used it to access the CFO's email and calendar. When the hacker knew the CFO was on vacation, an email saying 'I'm away and forgot to send a new vendor a payment' was sent from the CFO's account to accounts payable. Knowing the CFO was indeed out, a wire transfer for $50,000 was sent to, yes, the hacker.
"Passwords are a big problem," Mr. Steiner said. "People don't like passwords. People use common words and dates, and reuse the same passwords." Hackers know to test one password across multiple accounts. They can buy lists from the black market for a few thousand dollars.
And it's not just large firms or large buildings. Operationally, Mr. Steiner said, 20- to 50-person companies are equally at risk, and maybe more so if the IT team is on retainer, not full-time engaged in protection.
"The commercial real estate sector may be uniquely vulnerable to treasury management cyber risk given significant amounts of cash maintained on the balance sheet, as well as large-dollar transactions related to acquisitions, dispositions and financing of real estate properties," Ms. Sheth said.
From a cyber security perspective, she said, "Players in commercial real estate need to understand that a cyber attack is an inevitable and imminent threat, the intensity of which may vary based on automation level and tenants' IT exposure, but one that will undoubtedly increase over time."
Companies should consider developing a cyber risk management strategy that improves their ability to be secure, vigilant and resilient, Ms. Sheth said.
And change and vary your dang passwords. (I did.) It could stop an attack in progress, if not prevent one altogether.

Yes, I must apologize for my late blog. It's not that I don't like this season, I think it's because I'm just tired of all the various "make me a famous designer" shows. I have my priorities people! Which I might add I'm two weeks behind on Smash, no I didn't fall off the wagon, I just felt former President Clinton's American Experience two-night documentary was more important. I'm weird, but I'm topical.
As with last week's blog/recap, I'm going to caption pictures from the episode, it's more fun and it's a hell of a lot easier. But not as easy as this:
I love her to death, but what the hell? (Courtesy sg.news.yahoo.com)
All right, back to All-Stars. The challenge? Take a flag from a nation that is represented at the United Nations (plug!) and make an outfit inspired by not only the flag's colors but also take inspiration from that nation's culture. Since Mondo won the last challenge, he got to pick first from: Papau New Guinea, Jamaica, Greece, India, Chile, and Seychelles (???), talk about "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?" And Mondo picked Jamaica.
(Austin goes all gay-friendly train conductor on us)
(Costello proudly picks Greece, I think his mother is Greek, hence, he's Greek, HOPA!)
(WERK those flags girls!)
(UGH! Why are you still here?)
(Blue and white, yep, that's all I need! Tragic foreshadowing)
(Yes, Kenley picked some sort of polka dot pattern, though they're hearts, again)
(Mondo is thinking, "do I tell him it looks like a Greek Miss Universe gown?")
(Austin is perplexed, as was I, by the Seycelles)
(Mein Herr!)
(That is a flag bitch!)
(Erykah Badu realness)
(Austin trades in his conductor hat for Fred from Scooby-Doo, and his dress was okay)
(In case you don't remember where the tramp stamp goes)
(Kenley had Chile, and how does this dress translate to that?, doesn't matter, the judges loved it)
(Jamaica back!)
(Yeah, I would turn away and run too)
(Ladies and gentlemen, Papau New Guinea! or YOU'RE OUT! finally!)
Mila was sent packing, but Jerell escaped certain death by gaudiness, oh and Mondo won, which makes 2 in a row. I have no idea what's on tap for this week since the show cut right to After the Runway (I don't watch it) after the episode ended.

Scary education news of the day:
Troy Czukoski, the former principal of Springton Lake Middle School in Delaware County's Rose Tree Media School District, was sentenced today to two years in prison for possessing more than 150 (but less than 300) images of child pornography. Czukoski, 43, of Exton, will report to prison Dec. 30.
Authorities tracked down Czukoski through records showing that he purchased the sexually explicit images between 2008 and 2011. U.S. Postal Inspection Service agents also discovered CDs, DVDs and two flash drives that contained child porn images and video. Czukoski confessed that he'd bought the porn and pleaded guilty in May.

|Summary, etc.:
In her moving spiritual memoir, Mary DeMuth traces the winding path of "thin places" in her life - places where she experienced longing and healing more intensely than before. As DeMuth writes, "Thin places are snatches of holy ground, tucked into the corners of our world, where we might just catch a glimpse of eternity. They are aha moments, beautiful realizations, when the Son of God bursts through the hazy fog of our monotony and shines on us afresh." From losing her earthly father to discovering a heavenly Father who never leaves, from singing Olivia Newton-John songs to the sky to worshiping God under a French sun, from surviving abuse as a latchkey kid to experiencing the joy of mothering three children, DeMuth's story calls readers to a deeper understanding of their own story. With unusual spiritual wisdom, she looks for God in the past so that she might experience him more profoundly in the present. Her powerful words invite readers to know God in a new way - a God ready to break through any ordinary day or extraordinary pain and offer a glimpse of eternity.

Training for hunting season

2.) Make your wife angry on a regular basis. That way she will be happy when you leave on your hunting trip.
3.) Spend money all year on your hunting supplies. If you try to buy it all at once your wife will throw a fit. Visit
www.booneroutfitters.com we can help on this one.
4.) Practice staying up late drinking beer then get up early and sit on the couch. (self explanatory).
5.) Make up new hunting stories. Your friends are probably getting bored with the old ones.

Hey, how about if the wife likes to hunt just as much as the husband..Then WHAT lol....ReplyDelete
Humm don't know I have never run into that personally. You pose an interesting question. I have an idea. How about you write a Training for hunting from the female hunter perspective? I'm sure you can come up with some funny stuff.ReplyDelete

I need a dress for the Brazilian wedding. According to custom, ladies wear long dresses. The weather should be pleasantly warm and it's an evening wedding starting at 8 pm. So, I searched on the Internet to get some ideas. I had been eyeing this one. I even checked with a Brazilian friend to see if it was appropriate. We have a Macy's here so I thought if I saw something on line, I could go to the store and try it on.
Monday, the husband was home and I had a couple of hours to myself. I went to our local Macy's just to see what was out there. There was a "take 50% more off the sale price" rack. I love those kind. I looked through and saw some cocktail dresses--didn't need them---and then stumbled on a long gown. Surprise! It was the one I had seen on line. It was the right size except it wasn't petite. I thought it looked a little long, but what the heck, I would try it on. Well, let me tell you, that thing fit fairly well. It is maybe a tad long around the neck. But, I think I can get it altered. And get this, it was marked down to $84 which, do the math, means it cost only $42!!!
I asked the salesclerk if something was wrong with the dress. She replied that was an Internet return that had been returned just that morning.
Intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in the fruit salad.

FORT GREENE — A new building with a mix of microunits and standard-size apartments has opened its lottery for 49 affordable units, starting at $886 a month for one of the mini-apartments.
The luxury building Caesura at 280 Ashland Place at the corner of Lafayette Avenue has a total of 49 middle-income affordable apartments up for grabs, including 14 microunits, according to a city housing lottery listing.
New Yorkers have until Aug. 11 to apply to the building. The apartments are restricted to households making between $32,709 and $157,410 depending on the size of the apartment and the family.
► READ MORE: How to Apply for Affordable Housing in New York City
The affordable microunits' rents range from $886 to $1,482 depending on income and come with hardwood floors, keyless entry and quartz countertops, according to the building's website.
Studios, one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms are priced between $1,078 and $2,715 depending on income, the listing says. Preference for half of the 49 units in the building will be given to residents of Brooklyn Community Board 2, which covers Fort Greene, Downtown Brooklyn, Brooklyn Heights, Clinton Hill, DUMBO and the Brooklyn Navy Yard area.
The Caesura building is located across the street from the Brooklyn Academy of Music and is one of several large apartment buildings opening or being built in the Fort Greene cultural district, including the Ashland at 250 Ashland Place and BAM South at 300 Ashland Place. Around the corner, a massive 74-story residential tower is being planned at 80 Flatbush Ave.
In 2014 the project was proposed to help create the Brooklyn Cultural District and change the character of the neighborhood.
Applications opened Tuesday for the units at Caesura. Applicants can apply online or by mail through the city's Housing Connect system.

CORRECTION: In a previous version of this story, the affordable microunits were described as being furnished; however, only market-rate microunits in the building will be furnished.

Nuclear Power
Entergy's FitzPatrick reactor on the shores of Lake Ontario has had so many leaks in its cooling system that it had to reduce power 11 separate times just in the first three months of 2014. The leaks are in the Fukushima-clone reactor's condenser system and are the result of years of neglect by Entergy. The condenser system, which has a lifespan of 15 years, was last replaced in 1995–meaning it should have been replaced four years ago. But FitzPatrick has been a marginal reactor for Entergy, and is high on many lists of the most endangered reactors. So Entergy just hasn't been putting the money in for repairs that it should have. The leaks themselves do not pose a radiological hazard, but the condenser would be a problem if accident conditions developed.
As the article states, "If a nuclear plant reduces power unexpectedly more than six times in 7,000 hours of operation, the NRC puts the plant under heightened oversight. FitzPatrick has been in that category since January 2013, and its unplanned power change rate recently plummeted to 18.4 per 7,000 hours." UCS' nuclear safety expert David Lochbaum described the issue as "amazingly steep declining safety trend." The utility says it will make major repairs at a refueling outage scheduled for later this year; on the other hand, that could end up becoming a decision point as to whether the company will try to keep the reactor operating in the face of difficult market conditions and prospects for NRC-required Fukushima-related upgrades.
Southern Company's two new Vogtle reactors may be under construction with a handsome $6.5 Billion taxpayer loan in Southern's pocket–and another $1.8 Billion likely to come to Southern's smaller partners–but the complex does not yet even have a water withdrawal or consumption permit. That issue is up for public comment right now, and is the subject of a public hearing in Augusta, Georgia tonight. It's not a small issue, as this article points out: "The new nuclear reactors, for which you're already paying if you live in Savannah and use electricity, aren't expected to be in operation until 2017 or later. (It keeps getting later.) The state issued a draft water withdrawal permit in January that allows for the maximum daily pull of 74 million gallons per day or a monthly average of 62 million gallons per day.
"For comparison, the city of Savannah takes out a maximum of 55 million gallons a day from the river for drinking water. And if you think Vogtle will return most of the water to the river after using it for cooling, think again: the consumptive use is estimated at 71 percent on average. Worst case scenario is that the cooling process will send 88 percent of the water into the atmosphere through evaporation."
Add in Vogtle's two existing reactors, and the four units would use about as much water as the cities of Savannah and Atlanta combined. Nuclear Watch South has more information on the issue on its website here, including an e-mail action to oppose the water permit here.
It didn't take long for the three Senators who introduced three new bills this week related to decommissioning and radioactive waste storage to press their case before the NRC. Sen. Barbara Boxer's Environment Committee held a hearing on the bills and brought in NRC Commissioners and staff for a browbeating. As the New York Times reported, "In one particularly sharp exchange, Ms. Boxer tried to get a witness from the commission to agree that waste storage at the shuttered San Onofre reactors on the Pacific Coast was unsafe and required expedited efforts to move the old fuel to dry casks.
"Ms. Boxer asked Michael F. Weber, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's deputy executive director for operations, materials and waste, if he was concerned that the spent fuel pools were designed to hold 1,600 fuel assemblies but now held 2,600.
"Does this disturb you, this fact?" she asked.
"We ensure that," he began, but Ms. Boxer cut him off and asked again if this disturbed him.
"Yes, we ensure safety," he replied.
"Yes, it concerns you," she said, adding, "If it concerns you then why aren't you moving now" to get the fuel out."
Separately, Entergy Corporation admitted its decommissioning fund for Vermont Yankee is underfunded; it has only about $600 million available but faces projected decommissioning costs of more than $1 Billion for the mid-sized reactor. Entergy opposes the bills because meeting the requirements would cause them to spend more from that already insufficient fund–potentially forcing the utility to make up the shortfall from other operations. Given the economic and other problems the utility already has at FitzPatrick, Pilgrim and elsewhere, the company could be in for a rough time.
This didn't take long. Less than a week after India's Supreme Court ruled that it is satisfied with the safety measures at the Koodankulam reactors, six workers were injured–three seriously–in an accident on the non-nuclear side of the plant. Unfortunately, this is not likely to be the last incident at this flawed facility.
Clean Energy
We've written before about the Koch Brothers assault on renewable energy, most recently here. Now Union of Concerned Scientists has published a similar, and very heavily linked, piece documenting the assault and providing a lot of information to counter the false claims being peddled by the Kochs, as well as American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and other extreme-right wing groups. Very useful for compiling your factual arguments.
In case you're still wavering on solar power (though you're probably not), here is a handy new piece on the top 10 reasons to go solar. Show it to your reluctant relatives and neighbors.
Inside Washington
There was a time when energy efficiency and wind power were almost up there with mom and apple pie–nearly everyone on every side of the political spectrum supported both. After all, what's not to like about not wasting energy, or generating clean power. Those days are over in this polarized Congress, where even modest, simple bills need a supermajority of 60 votes to pass and fall to overreaching, especially on the Republican side.
This week, the Senate killed a bipartisan and very modest energy efficiency bill authored by Sens. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Bob Portman (R-Ohio). One reason, according to Grist, is that former Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown asked the Republican leadership to defeat the bill to avoid handing a victory to Shaheen. Scott, who says he has moved to New Hampshire, is running against Shaheen this year. But another big reason is that Republicans saw an energy bill reach the floor and wanted to add unrelated amendments to approve the controversial Keystone XL pipeline and block EPA efforts to set new Clean Air standards for power plants. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid offered a separate vote on Keystone after the efficiency bill passed, but Republicans rejected the offer. Although the bill had seven Republican co-sponsors, only two of them voted for the bill in the end.
Meanwhile, another bill of interest to the energy community also appears to be falling victim to the petty politics of the day. This one is a tax extenders package on a variety of issues, but including renewable energy tax credits. This time Republicans wanted to offer amendments to end the wind production tax credit, as well as an Obamacare medical device tax credit, and blocked this bill as well. However, given that this bill affects much more of the economy than the energy efficiency bill, it likely will pass in some form or other before the end of the year.
The Obama Administration is considering a much wider-ranging and stronger effort to limit carbon emissions from power plants, according to several articles published today–this one gives a detailed look at what is being contemplated. Of course, this could be merely a trial balloon and the actual proposed rules, due out the first week of June, could be much weaker. But, disconcertingly, rumors are also going around–sorry, nothing beyond the rumor stage and thus no articles to link to–that the Administration's overall climate action plan, of which these rules are a big part, will include a major role for nuclear power; perhaps including efforts touted by Exelon and others to benefit operating nuclear reactors at the expense of other generation sources. Expect an action from NIRS on this soon.
Have a great weekend, we'll be back next week with results from our PAC poll and much more.

As a youthful adult or old child I couldn't help but be reminded of a
St-Exupery phrase when I read (Dale Reed's):
>But I do not imagine you will have much luck getting the youngsters to
>contribute very much. There are exceptions like SwiftRain presently(or
>was last school year) at Sudbury but generally from the few cyber and
>off-line experiences I have had I conclude that oldsters and youngsters
>do not mix very well. Except for within their own families of course. It
>really is too bad for they have so much pleasure to give each other.
And it went :
>Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves,
>and it is tiresome for children to be always
>and forever explaining things to them.
> - de Saint-Exupery,
