Westchester resident Lowell Hawthorne, the founder and CEO of the largest Caribbean franchise chain in the United States, is dead at age 57 from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound inside his New York City factory Saturday, according to multiple reports.
Hawthorne, a Pocantico Hills resident and native of Jamaica, died at around 5:30 p.m. at Golden Krust Caribbean Bakery & Grill's facility in the Claremont section of the Bronx, according to the New York Daily News.
In an inspiring rags to riches story, Hawthorne built the family run Golden Krust, known for its signature Jamacian beef patties, into a major player in nine states with more than 120 restaurants. He was featured on the TV show "Undercover Boss."
In addition to beef patties, Golden Krust, whose motto is "We take the taste of the Caribbean to the world," is known for its jerk chicken, authentic breads and sauces. Hawthorne and his wife, Lorna, opened Golden Krust's first location opened in 1989, when the two, and four of Hawthorne's siblings, founded the location in the Bronx.
Golden Crust's annual profits are estimated to be at around $100 million.
Hawthorne's path to Golden Krust started when he worked at a family owned bakery in Jamaica before he emigrated to the U.S.
Hawthorne's net worth has been estimated at $70 million.

New approach to fight Murray acidity
Scientists say they have had little success so far in their efforts to restore drought-damaged land along the lower reaches of the Murray.
Crushed limestone was spread over a trial site outside Murray Bridge in South Australia to try to overcome acidic soil.
The problem started when highly-acidic groundwater saturated paddocks between Mannum and Wellington as the river rose at the end of prolonged drought.
The rehabilitation work has involved organisations including the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) and CSIRO.
There had been some signs the limestone was improving groundwater quality, but Luke Mosley of the EPA sad further examination showed the technique had not worked well.
"The acidity is actually quite deep and it was quite difficult to get the surface limestone down to where that main zone of acidity is," he explained.
Scientists are now injecting lime slurry deeper into the ground and will monitor the results.

Justices: Treaty can't be invoked in assault case
WASHINGTON (AP) — A unanimous Supreme Court ruled Monday that prosecutors may not rely on an international chemical weapons treaty to convict a woman who attacked her husband's mistress.
The justices threw out the conviction of Carol Anne Bond of Lansdale, Pa., who was prosecuted under a 1999 law based on the chemical weapons treaty. Bond served a six-year prison term after being convicted of using toxic chemicals that caused a thumb burn on a friend who had become her husband's lover.
The intent of the chemical weapons treaty was to prevent a repeat of the use of mustard gas in World War I or toxic weapons in the Iraq-Iran war in the early 1980s, not "an amateur attempt by a jilted wife to injure her husband's lover," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the court.
Roberts contrasted John Singer Sargent's massive painting, "Gassed," with its depictions of men who have been blinded by mustard gas, with Bond's actions. "There are no life-sized paintings of Bond's rival washing her thumb," he said.
Pennsylvania laws are sufficient to deal with threats posed by a woman in a love triangle, he said.
"In sum, the global need to prevent chemical warfare does not require the Federal Government to reach into the kitchen cupboard, or to treat a local assault with a chemical irritant as the deployment of a chemical weapon," Roberts said.
The case posed potentially significant questions about the federal government's power to make and enforce treaties. The justices resolved the case without reaching that issue, although Justices Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas said they would have.
Bond, unable to bear any children of her own, was excited for her best friend Myrlina Haynes when the woman announced her pregnancy. But that was before Bond learned that the baby's father was her husband of more than 14 years, Clifford Bond.
Vowing revenge, Bond, a laboratory technician, stole the chemical 10-chloro-10H phenoxarsine from the company where she worked and purchased potassium dichromate on Amazon.com. Both can be deadly if ingested or exposed to the skin at sufficiently high levels.
Bond's efforts were obvious enough that Haynes noticed chemicals had been spread on her door handle and in the tailpipe of her car. Haynes suffered a minor burn. But believing local police did not do enough to investigate, she called the United States Postal Service after finding more of the chemicals on her mailbox. Postal inspectors arrested Bond after they videotaped her going back and forth between Haynes' car and the mailbox with the chemicals.
Instead of turning the domestic dispute case over to state prosecutors, a federal grand jury indicted Bond on two counts of possessing and using a chemical weapon. The grand jury based the charges on a federal anti-terrorism law passed to fulfill the United States' international treaty obligations under the 1993 Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and use of Chemical Weapons and on Their Destruction.
Bond pleaded guilty.
In an earlier stage of the case, the high court unanimously rejected prosecutors' arguments and lower court rulings that prevented Bond from even challenging her conviction.
The case is Bond v. U.S., 12-158.

Yeah, Daryl seems on the fence between "real" character and "plot device" character. Didn't the writers say in an interview they weren't originally planning on bringing Gai back after the first half? I could very easily see Daryl being planned as a character analogous to Eureka Seven's Anemone, only to wind up with a scaled-down role due to Gai hogging the spotlight (and of course a failure to simplify his arc to suit his reduced role).
I picked him to focus on because he has just enough nuance that the criticism applies and can be summarized somewhat concisely, but not so much nuance that there'd be a lot confounding factors muddying the waters.
And I guess I can add that I got on this tack in the first place when I started thinking "you know, you could take just about any given handful of ideas from GC, throw the rest of it away, and have something that could've been pretty solid...". Failed due to hubris, ultimately, which is if nothing else a way to fail that's often fairly interesting to us onlookers.

I am watching this series very slowly - as I am not enthusiastic about it. Yet, I keep giving it a chance. For the most part, I can make direct comparisons with Code Geass with significant differences. I am sure, you can too.
Geass was interesting, where you have a main central character and decisive leader in Lerouch. On top of that, he's a natural genius, with the flaw of being a cold-hearted bastard. Nevertheless, y'end up watching wondering: What is this guy gonna do next? Then throw in CC who makes a good mysterious supporting role.
For Guilty Crown, you have a main central character in Shu, who turns out to be an indecisive wuss. Then you have Inori, who actually drives Shu crazy at times.
On top of everything, you have a Japan occupied by foreign forces with the policy of oppression. At the same time, characters can still operate under the school environment, despite this authoritative system.
Geass has geass powers. Guilty Crown has these voids.
The comparisons can keep going and going. While Geass made me want to think "Holy Cow", Guilty Crown is making me think, "Eh, whatever".
Nine episodes in, I still can't see this series being as good as Geass; but I'll keep looking for something out of it. I actually developed a remote hope out of this series in eps 3, when Shu got betrayed by a "friend". But, nothing much came afterwards. Had Shu betrayed Gai... then things coulda been really interesting...
Well... now that I just opened up and saw the first 60-seconds to episode 10... someone kill Shu already...

I love Code Geass as well, and I like this series. There is some social commentary as well, but Guilty Crown is not on the same level as Code Geass. Watch it for its entertainment value and great visuals, and you will enjoy it as long as you don't try to dissect it like a frog.

Somebody has any information about Princess of Deadpool? Because aside from the pictures that I posted on the image thread there's like nothing about it, pretty strange considering the amount of GC viewers.
I got character info from Japanese wiki

And then you say About What? Well there is a lot of thing they can made season 2 about what is the organization, Daath? No doubt they are still interest in Shu and his Void power. Is Mana dead if Mana is Alive so is Inori and is it 100% the Virus gone?
Here what I don't understand really why people say the Epilogue is like 2 or 3 year have because you don't know if it is a lot can change in just a few month or weeks and people keep saying that the Epilogue happen in France you also don't know about that becuase it might be still in Japan outside of Tokyo in another big city becuase there is not just one big city in Japan because the most damage is done in Tokyo they might move out o another city waiting for Tokyo to rebuilt or until it safe enough for them to return.

New version features significant improvements in code size and performance, plus C++ standards conformance
ARM [(LSE: ARM); (Nasdaq: ARMHY)] today announced at the BREW 2007 Conference the RealView® Compilation Tools for BREW (Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless) version 3.0. The RealView Compilation Tools for BREW 3.0 provide best-in-class code-generation tools specifically designed for generating applications to run under Qualcomm's BREW environment, a widely used software platform in the wireless market. The RealView Compilation Tools for BREW 3.0 replace the earlier RealView Compilation Tools for BREW 1.2, and bring many of the advanced RealView C/C++ compiler developments of the last five years to the BREW application development community for the first time.
"ARM technology has long been the foundation for mobile applications, and we have supported BREW application development with compiler technology since 2002," said John Cornish, vice president of marketing for the System Design Division at ARM. "Today's announcement extends our commitment to enabling rich content and dynamic applications that extend the functionality of mobile devices."
Key features of the RealView Compilation Tools for BREW version 3.0 include an advanced compiler optimization engine, which provides excellent code size and a typical performance increases of between 15 and 20 percent over the previous-generation RealView Compilation Tools for BREW 1.2 (depending on source code); full ISO C and C++ support, which eases porting from other platforms; support for the ARM® processors in the latest BREW handsets (ARM7™, ARM9™ and ARM11™ processor families); the ability to compile individual functions within a single source file for either the 32-bit ARM or 16-bit Thumb® instruction sets; advanced assembly level access from C/C++ code using inline assembler, embedded assembler and compiler intrinsics; support for "Unified Assembler Language," which simplifies the mixing of 32-bit ARM and 16-bit Thumb instruction set assembly code; and Chinese, Japanese and Korean language support.
Evaluation by Airsource Ltd., a BREW consultancy, demonstrates that the upgraded RealView Compilation Tools for BREW offer significant benefits to all BREW developers. "Our tests show that the new RealView Compilation Tools for BREW version 3.0 offer performance improvements over GCC 3.3.1 of between 20 and 30 percent and code size reduction of between 5 and 10 percent. These are gains that can be experienced by all BREW developers immediately," said Ben Blaukopf, CTO of Airsource. "In memory-constrained and performance-critical environments, such as native handset applications, upgrading your compiler suite to the cutting edge gives you major benefits."
"In a matter of hours, we migrated several mobile games, including Jump, to RealView Compilation Tools for BREW version 3.0," said Mark Kirkby, Technical Director at The Code Monkeys Ltd., "Despite these games being heavily hand-optimized for mobile performance, we saw noticeable improvements when building with the new tools."
The RealView Compilation Tools for BREW 3.0 contains a variant of the code generation tools from the RealView Development Suite version 3.0, targeted specifically at BREW application developers. Included on the CD are an optimizing ISO C/C++ compiler, assembler; linker, C and C++ libraries, an image conversion utility, an object file archiver/librarian and electronic documentation.
Pricing and Availability
The RealView Compilation Tools for BREW version 3.0 are available for ordering now from local ARM sales offices and the ARM RealView distributor network and will begin shipping in early Q3 2007. A new seat is priced at $1500 for a node locked, one year term seat. Existing users of RealView Compilation Tools for BREW version 1.2 will be able to upgrade to version 3.0 at the discounted price of $1300 until the end of 2007, upon production of the original serial number.

Indigenous Peoples in Africa
Renee Sylvain
Moringe ole Parkipuny addressed the United Nations Working Group on Indigenous Populations (UNWGIP) in 1989 and, for the first time, opened up discussion of the idea that certain groups of hunter-gathers and pastoralists in Africa merited the status of indigenous peoples. Local activists and international organizations took up the cause in the following decades. Several international conferences resulted in new forms of activism, the reformulation of local identities, and a growing body of scholarship addressing African indigeneity. As NGOs built solidarity among relatively scattered groups of pastoralists and hunter-gatherers, often skeptical state governments initially resisted what they saw as demands for recognition of status and claims to "special rights." Disagreements between state interests and newly organized indigenous groups were expressed at the United Nations during the process of adopting the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP); but as the idea of indigeneity evolved through such discussions, African governments gradually came on board. International activism and work done by the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights play significant roles in convincing African states to accept the concept of "indigenous peoples." The issue of developing a definition of "indigenous peoples" appropriate for Africa remains unsettled and continues to present challenges. Mobilization among marginalized groups on the African continent itself, however, has presented NGOs, activists, states, and courts with the opportunity, through well-publicized struggles and several landmark legal cases, to refine the category to better fit with African contexts.
The Land Question in South Africa: 1913 and Beyond
Cherryl Walker
Since 1913, the "land question" in South Africa has revolved around the major inequalities in access to and rights over land between the black majority and the white minority of the population, and how these disparities should best be understood and overcome. The roots of this inequality are commonly traced back to the promulgation of the Natives Land Act in June 1913, which provided the legal framework for the subsequent division of the country into a relatively prosperous white heartland and a cluster of increasingly impoverished black reserves on the periphery. Historians have cautioned against according this legislation undue weight within the much longer history of colonization, capitalist penetration, and agrarian change that has shaped modern South Africa. The spatial divide of white core and black periphery has, however, been central to the political economy of 20th-century South Africa. Beginning in the 1950s, the apartheid government attempted to maintain white hegemony, drive an urban–industrial economy, and deflect political resistance by turning these reserves into the ethnic "homelands" of African people. This involved increasingly repressive policies of urban influx control, population relocation, and the tribalization of local administration in the reserves.
Since the transition to democracy in 1994, the post-apartheid state has struggled to develop an effective land reform program that can address the crosscutting demands for land redistribution, local development, and representative government that this history has bequeathed. For many analysts, these ongoing challenges mean that "the land question" remains unresolved; for others it means that the question is itself in need of reformulation. In order to review these developments, a three-part periodization is used to organize the discussion: (1) the segregation era (1910–1948), (2) the apartheid era (1948–1990), and (3) the transition to democracy and the post-apartheid era that began in 1990.

Rock band No Doubt quickly found itself in hot water after releasing a new video last week for the song "Looking Hot," which featured an Old West theme and singer Gwen Stefani in Native American-style clothing and taking part in native rituals. The band pulled the video from YouTube and Vevo and offered an apology on its official website.
"As a multi-racial band our foundation is built upon both diversity and consideration for other cultures," the statement reads. "Our intention with our new video was never to offend, hurt or trivialize Native American people, their culture or their history."
The Facebook page for For Accurate Indigenous Representation Media, or F.A.I.R., flagged the video and sent a message to the band: "Gwen Stefani - You may think you are 'Looking Hot' - but you are not. You are just looking like yet another insensitive, entitled, Hipster who is letting her white privilege slip show. And it's oh so unfashionable."
MUSIC REVIEWS: Live show and album reviews
The video was directed by Melina Matsoukas, who previously ran into trouble for Rihanna's "S&M" video, which spurred a lawsuit by photographer David LaChapelle charging that Matsoukas and Rihanna had appropriated his images without his consent. That case was settled out of court.

I saw these rich, vibrant potatoes on Girlichef's blog a few weeks ago. When I spotted them in my own market I was elated. Seeing that the bin was almost empty I quickly snatched them up. I had never eaten or even seen such beauties before! Or maybe it was that I never noticed them before. Food blogging makes me sit up and take notice of unusual food.
I had a plan for them, a plan that didn't pan out because as I was browsing through one of my Italian cookbooks I turned to a recipe involving potatoes and noodles. My first thought wasn't about taste but on how dramatic the dish would look with the purple potato against the creamy whiteness of the pasta and sauce. Pleasing to the eye and a showcase for the pretty potato which deserved to be the star of the show.
This was just as impressive tasting as it is pretty. My Dad asked me "Why does this make me want to keep eating?" Which meant that he had more than enough but was having trouble putting the fork down. It's that kind of dish. The potato gems nestle snugly in between the wide strands of fettuccine covered in generous amounts of cheesy garlic sauce infused with fresh basil. Another reason why I love this is the ingredients are basic pantry items that come together to make an extremely satisfying, yet very simple dish.
Potatoes and Noodles with Parmesan Garlic Sauce
(semi-adapted from 1001 Classic Italian Recipes by Christina Gabrielli)
1 pound small New Potatoes or small Purple Potatoes
Salt and fresh ground Pepper
12 ounces Tagliatelle, Fettucine or Linquini
Fresh Romano or Parmesan for grating over top
For the sauce:
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
5 cloves Garlic, minced
2 tablespoons Butter
1/4 cup all-purpose Flour
2 cups Whole Milk
1/2 cup Parmesan, fresh grated
6 or 7 Basil leaves, fresh, chopped or 1 teaspoon dried
Boil the potatoes in their skins 10-15 minutes until tender. Drain, cool, and slice into 1 /4 inch-thick slices. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Cook the pasta according to package directions. In the mean time make the sauce.
In a tablespoon of Olive oil saute the garlic in a medium saute pan about 3 minutes on low heat. Add the butter, melt and add the flour. Whisk and cook the flour mixture about three minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk. Bring to a simmer while whisking, when thickened add Parmesan and basil. Remove from heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper. If sauce becomes too thick whisk in a bit of the pasta water.
Mix the pasta and sliced potatoes together. Pour the sauce over the noodles. Sprinkle with grated cheese and serve immediately.

Last weekend I made this same dress in a red linen from Spotlight and although not a very good quality linen, it is such a comfortable and cool dress to wear around the house. I am now making it in a piece of silk to wear to a party and I know it will be a favourite dress. I like your choice of fabric and it works so well in this style.

Mirror coatings create interesting effects on spectacle lenses - from a light shimmer to a total mirror coating.
Here you can find some info about production aspects and Facts and Figures on a mirror coating.
Mirror coatings are created by the vacuum deposition of interference layers.
Unlike antireflection coatings whose effect is achieved by destructive interference, a mirror coating can be obtained by constructive interference. Due to the different thickness of the interference layers, different reflection colours can be achieved.
Mirror Effects
The mirror effect - the perceived intensity of the mirror coating - is dependent on the basic tint of the lens. In clear lenses or in lenses with only a light tint, the mirror layer is like a slight shimmer on the lens surface. The darker the tint, the more intensive the mirror effect becomes. In very dark tints, the wearer's eyes are no longer visible through the mirror coating.
Light is reflected at both interfaces of an AR coating. The two reflected wave trains of a certain wavelength can cancel each other out totally by interference if both the phase and amplitude requirements are met.

It lists all your loan records at Illinois Institute of Technology's Downtown Campus. This is just an estimated amount and does not reflect any payments made toward your loans, interest or loans borrowed at other schools. To view more detailed information regarding your loans including lender and servicer names, outstanding balance, and interest accrued for your loans, please log on to the National Student Loan Database System at www.nslds.ed.gov and select "Financial Aid Review." If the total loan aggregates listed are inconsistent with your records please contact your loan servicer(s) to review your personal loan records.

If you do not have access to the internet, please contact the Office of Financial Aid for alternative means of completing the Federal Stafford and Plus Loan Exit Counseling Requirement.
In order to receive aid for the spring term, your FAFSA application and corresponding documentation must be submitted to the Office of Financial Aid by April 29th.
If you need financial aid for the spring term, and you have not completed your 2012-2013 FAFSA, please complete it as soon as possible. The financial aid process can take 4-6 weeks from start to finish. The process can take even longer if there are complications or if Department of Education selects your file for some form of verification.
Once you receive your financial aid award, you must use your myIIT account to accept your loans. Please be aware that if you do not accept your loans our office will not process your loans, which can delay the receipt of your refund check as well.
Once you accept your loans for 2012-2013 you will have to complete a master promissory note for the corresponding loan along with Online Entrance Counseling. These online documents can be completed at www.studentloans.gov.
Students who plan to take summer term courses at IIT Downtown Campus, or at an approved visiting school may be eligible for either federal or private loans. In order to be eligible you must have completed a 2012-2013 FAFSA and have completed all required documents. We encourage students who are eligible for federal loans to accept these loans before considering private loans. Please note that anticipated loans and scholarships for the fall 2013 semester cannot be used to pay summer 2013 tuition.
At Least Half -Time Status
If you are registered at least half-time for the summer term (3 credits), you will be automatically offered federal loans. Once you accept your award(s) we will automatically process the federal loans under your current federal loan promissory note, as long as we have received your 2012-2013 FAFSA information.
If you have already used your entire $20,500 Federal Stafford Loan eligibility during this past fall 2012 and spring 2013 semesters, you can only be offered the Federal Plus Loan up to the cost of attendance budget limit for the summer term. If you have remaining Stafford Loan eligibility, this will be offered to you first before a Federal Plus Loan is offered up to the cost of attendance limit. Students will be awarded based on a cost of attendance budget that equates to approximately 3 months of living expenses plus summer term tuition charges.
Approximately one week after you register for at least half-time you will be offered a summer term financial aid award package. You will receive an email award notification that will direct you to the myIIT portal to view and accept your award(s).
Less Than Half-Time Status
If you are registered less than half time for the summer term (less than 3 credits), you are ineligible for federal loans. You will not be offered an award if you are registered less than half time. You may apply for a private loan on your own if you wish or make payment arrangements with the Student Accounting Office. Some lenders offer private loans to students that are in less than half-time status during the summer term. In order to receive a private loan you must apply for the loan directly with the lender of your choice and inform our office in writing via email that it is your intention to use a private loan for summer term. Private loans are not automatically renewed. To apply for a private loan online with the lender of your choice, please visit our website for private loan information.
Federal Stafford and Federal Graduate Plus Loan Procedures
Once you have accepted your loan(s) via the myIIT portal, we will automatically process the loan(s) using your current promissory note(s) from the previous Fall and Spring semesters. If you have not borrowed a Federal Stafford Loan at IIT Downtown Campus, you will need to complete the loan requirements listed on our website. Even though you may not be required to complete a new promissory note, the Department of Education may be required complete a new credit check for the Federal Plus Loan, if your initial loan was approved more than 90 days ago. Also, if your initial Federal Plus Loan has an endorser, you will have to complete a new Master Promissory Note (MPN) and your endorser will need to complete the endorser application in order to receive the loan funds. See our website for Plus Loan credit information.

Full Time Scholarship recipients have been awarded their scholarship based on the number of credits as April 25th. Our office will be adjusting scholarships again after the add/drop period is over.

Q: Are you a full-time graduating JD student that is planning to take less than 12 credits in either fall 2012 or spring 2013? If yes, please read the information below and follow the instructions to ensure that your financial aid disbursements for 2012-2013 are not delayed.
A:Your financial aid award and cost of attendance are based on your registration in the minimum credits required for your program and enrollment status. As a full-time day student, your initial cost of attendance is based on your enrollment in 12 credits per semester. We are aware that many full-time students take less than 12 credits in their last 2 semesters. For this reason, if you are taking less than 12 credits please be aware of the following:
To avoid delays, please submit any requested documentation as soon as possible.
Please follow the steps below to see if you still have missing requirements:
Please note that completing the Financial Aid Awareness Counseling does not satisfy the Loan Entrance Counseling Requirement. It is an optional counseling session that covers the basics of financial literacy. The required counseling session is called Loan Entrance Counseling. Please see our website sections entitled "Loan Requirements" and Forms and Worksheets."
Once you complete your Master Promissory Notes (not loan application) and Loan Entrance Counseling via the Department of Education's website, it may take up to 2 weeks for your required document status on the myIIT portal to reflect this. If it has been over 2 weeks since your completion of a Promissory Note or Loan Entrance Counseling and your documents status on myIIT is still showing not received, please contact our office.
If you were awarded the Perkins Loan this academic year 2012-2013, please check your Kent email (or your IIT e-mail address on the welcome screen of your myIIT portal, as communications could be sent there), for information from the IIT Perkins Loan servicer, ECSI, on completing the Promissory Note and Entrance Counseling. Students that competed this requirement last academic year (2011-2012) are not required to complete this requirement again. This maybe marked as spam in your mailbox, but it is not. You will not be able to complete the promissory note online if ECSI does not have your information on file that is why we ask that you wait until you receive an email notification. However, if mid-August has passed and you have not completed this requirement, please contact ECSI directly at 1-888-549-3274 and state that you are attending the IIT Downtown Campus. Also, for more information see the Student Account's (formerly Bursar's Office) website at:
Please be aware that the university allows students the option of having their financial aid refunds direct deposited into their checking or savings account. The university encourages all students to sign up for direct deposit. Click here for more information on the new TouchNet service.

Ashley Judd: Share Your 'Puffy Face' Moments!
When actress Ashley Judd's 'puffy' appearance sparked a misogynist frenzy online, she gave her critics hell in an op-ed for The Daily Beast. Now she wants to start a healthier dialogue. Here's how to join in.
Ashley Judd has had enough of what she calls a "pointedly nasty, gendered, and misogynistic" conversation about femininity in our culture, and she's inviting women—and men!—to speak up about their own experiences. "I want people to share their puffy-face moment," Judd said on NBC's Nightly News. "Talk about being excoriated," she said, or "humiliated," or "objectified," and how it felt.
"I think what happened to me is very common. It might look a little different than other people's lives because they might not be public figures, but we all go through it."
The star was candid about the personal pain she had gone through in dealing with press coverage of her appearance, and swatted away the idea that Hollywood mainstays should be held to a different standard. "I don't think being a public figure makes it legitimate to criticize people the way they are currently criticized in this cultural climate," she said.
The Daily Beast wants to hear your own "puffy-face" moments. Here's how to share and possibly get it featured in the digital pages of The Daily Beast:
1. Comment: Register or log in as a commenter here on The Daily Beast (click "login" or "signup" below) and leave your story as a comment on this page. Be sure to tell us your name so we can give credit where credit is due—or if preferred, keep it anonymous.

3. Twitter: Tweet your story, in however many characters it takes, using the hashtag #puffyfacemoment. We'll retweet some and compile them here on The Daily Beast.
4. Facebook: Tell us your story by leaving it in a post on our Facebook.

Add the chives, garlic salt and parsley to the remaining cream cheese mixture. Spread over crackers. Arrange two tomato quarters on each for the ladybug wings.
For heads, halve the olives widthwise; place one half on each cracker. Insert two chives into olives for antennae. Use tinted cream cheese mixture to pipe spots onto wings. Yield: 3 dozen.

Canucks take out Avalanche for sixth win in a row
Vancouver, BC – Daniel Sedin scored the winner in the third period to lead the Vancouver Canucks to a 4-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche.
Both Daniel and Henrik Sedin posted a goal and an assist, as did Alexandre Burrows for the Canucks, who are on a six-game winning streak. Cory Schneider stopped 32 shots.
"I'm not trying to put too much into it," said Schneider regarding the streak. "I'm just worried about the next game. I think we're just as good as the next game."
Matt Duchene had the lone goal for the Avalanche, who have lost four straight and eight of nine. Semyon Varlamov gave up two goals on 18 shots.
"They got some timely goals and we got some unlucky bounces," said Duchene.
Colorado had tied the game at 1-1 4:02 into the third as good work behind the net by P.A. Parenteau saw him center the puck where Duchene one-timed it home.
Vancouver, though, took the lead back with 8:28 to play after a left circle faceoff win that saw the puck eventually come back to the slot where Daniel Sedin snapped it home for a 2-1 lead.
Henrik Sedin sealed the win on an empty-netter with 1:24 to play, and Chris Higgins added another empty-netter 44 seconds later.
The Canucks took a 1-0 lead just 4:27 into the game as Daniel Sedin passed it from the left circle to the right where Henrik fed it back down to the low left side for the tap into the open net.
Neither side got on the board in the second period as Varlamov made seven stops while Schneider turned away 10.
Game Notes
Vancouver plays in Edmonton on Saturday ... Colorado hosts Nashville on Saturday ... Vancouver has won all three games against Colorado this season, 10 straight and 18 of 20 ... Colorado went 0-for-2 on the power play while Vancouver didn't have a man advantage in the game.

'Strike Back' Ep. 14 preview gallery: Trapped again
Our "Strike Back" heroes Stonebridge (Philip Winchester) and Scott (Sullivan Stapleton) can't catch a break. In last week's episode of the Cinemax series, the Section 20 soldiers finally caught a terrorist named Othmani (Said Taghmaoui), who was carrying the nuclear triggers they have been assigned to find. Now the guys, along with their Tuareg ally Markunda (Laetitia Eido) and her two men have been trapped by Othmani's brother, El Soldat. Episode 14, airing at 9 p.m. Aug. 31, shows just how complex and layered this series is. It's got action, flirting and two blokes who have each others' backs. Stapleton and Winchester continue to give detailed performances, this time in some quiet moments showing how Scott tries to help Stonebridge deal with his PTSD by revealing just a little more about himself and his past.

Excellent new front page Mimnet! -- Doran 23:25, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you very much. My next project involves changing the Community Portal and making a new portal for things like wiki matainece and the Improvment Drive. Sounds pretty boring, I know. But it's what I think the wiki needs most. We have very few articles that are good enough quality to be featured. Miment 23:53, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Edit Links
Copied the first comment from my (Raphfrk) talk page --Raphfrk 20:13, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
- I'm going to revert your changes to the main page where you added edit links the the various sections. There's a reason why I didn't include them in the original main page. It helps keep the page clean and prevents people from editing those sections on a whim. you should use the above template, {{mainpagecontrol}}, to edit the main page. Miment 18:16, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
- I think that making it easier for people is better. The policy on the descriptive table of contents was to have [edit] links to allow people to change the pages. Otherwise, people have to search downwards through the templates. However, I do accept that making it a bit more effort to change the main page might be a good idea.
- (PS, this is the kind of thing that a forum would help with :) )--Raphfrk 20:13, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
- Quite a bit late, I know, but I've moved the from {{contentbox}} to the main page code. Miment 02:28, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
Well, if we had a larger user base on this wiki, it would be nice to do away with the edit links. But we don't. I agree with you now Raphfrk that the main page should be easy to edit. Edits on a whim are better than no edits at all. Miment 23:17, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

We can't wait for the final this Saturday here at Pocket-lint towers. The thrill, the action, the dodgy decisions, bad haircuts and crazy foreign accents. Yep, it's Eurovision Song Contest time again. What? You didn't think we meant the FA Cup Final did you? Then again...
Nope, scratch that, as we like our pop cheesier than a Wotsit in a teenager's sock, we're always as excited as an ABBA tribute act at this time of year, and no match between a Middle Eastern-funded plaything and a grubby team of battlers can hold a candle to the mighty sing-a-thon in Berlin (although, we'd just like to add, quickly, "Come on you Potters!").
So, in preparation for our annual guffaw at a bunch of Europeans croaking out strangely familiar tunes, we've been warbling along to...
Lucky Voice Karaoke
- Format
- iPad 2 / iPad
- Price
- £Free
- Where
- iTunes
Anybody who's visited a Lucky Voice Karaoke bar will immediately feel at home with the company's new iPad app, 'cause that's its major selling point; it's at home.
Instead of having to get up in front of a bunch of admin assistants and the one accounts guy that nobody remembers inviting, your own dulcet tones can be restricted to the comfort of your own abode thanks to this simple yet ingenious portal to over 8,000 licenced songs. It works just like normal Karaoke - the words light up on screen in time with the music - yet, because it's on an iPad, it can be handed around from singer to singer.
And, as it uses the device's in-built Internet connection to both search for and pluck songs from the cloud, you can pretty much guarantee that there's something for everyone. Certainly, there were very few songs that we couldn't find and immediately sing. They've all been given the Lucky Voice treatment - even featuring backing singers where necessary - and, mercifully, none of them are accompanied by any of the ill-advised videos that are commonly associated with home-based Karaoke units in the past.
The app itself is rather basic, but that's to its credit. Down the left-hand side there's a navigation bar, which initially lists pre-determined playlists. You can also add playlists of your own to the menu, and that's about it.
However, click on a playlist and suddenly all the songs (and artists) that are contained within are spewn forth. Click on one of them and it joins your song queue. Indeed, if you've ever used the touchscreen controls in Lucky Voice private rooms before, you'll find a lot that's instantly familiar.
There's also a search function which will happily offer up results based on the song title or artist you've entered. Even one-word searches are possible - for example, type in "love" and you'll be innundated with suggestions. It's also real time search, so will get more accurate the more words you enter.
Naturally, if you're using the iPad's own speakers, the experience isn't quite as slick or professional as holding a microphone in a bar itself, but it's still great fun none-the-less. And if you've got an iPad 2 and a Digital AV Adapter, you can always plug it into your flatscreen TV via HDMI, giving you a bigger and better video output at least. Not having Apple's optional cable to hand, we're not sure if audio output on the app is supported at present, but as we've been told that a future update will bring about a dedicated TV output mode, we suspect that's something that will only come in the patch. If so, at least it's being worked on.
It would also have been good to have microphone support (to use the internal mic or an external hand-held one such as IK Multimedia's iRig Mic) for vocal amplification from the off. But the developer has revealed that it's adding this at some point soon too, as well as synchronised playlists so that you can turn up to a Lucky Voice Karaoke bar and have your own songs queued for you when you arrive, so we're happy to wait.
The Lucky Voice app is a free download, and once you've signed up you'll have access to 10 free songs. All the other 8,000 plus tracks can be previewed for 30 seconds, but to play the full versions, you need to subscribe to Lucky Voice Home, or buy song credits. Prices range from £3.99 to £49.99, but considering that you're likely to only use the app properly when you've got a bunch of friends around, we don't think that £3.99 is too steep for 24 hours worth of unlimited use - get them all to chip in.
And a side benefit is that subscribers can also access the online version of Lucky Voice Home too, with similar access to all of the same songs through a PC. Excellent stuff.
One last thing, it's worth pointing out that as Lucky Voice is a UK franchise of Karaoke bars, the app is restricted to the UK Apple App Store. Sorry to all those from other nations, you'll have to make do with awarding each other points in the Eurovision Song Contest instead, regardless of performance or quality.
Speaking of which, altogether now, "sing when you're winning!" Or, in the case of Jedward, "whine when you're singing!"

Autumn in Colorado
October 9, 2009
Autumn in Colorado - the most beautiful season of the year.
This is the season that makes me the most thankful that I have lived 89 years in this beautiful state. The other six were in lovely areas, but not like ours.
Autumn gives me a peaceful feeling and welcome slowing of pace.
Samuel Butler felt the same way. "Youth is like spring, an over praised season more remarkable for biting winds than genial breezes. Autumn is the mellower season, and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in fruits"
Autumn in Colorado is the season of brilliant color, desert colors and mountain colors. In the spring everything is green. In the fall we find every color of the rainbow.
And it lasts from early September until after Thanksgiving. The trouble is, if you could call it trouble, you never know just what you are going to find when you wake up in the morning. It varies from day to day, but very often it ends up with a pure blue sky-Colorado blue.
I have to admit that autumn 2009 started off in a haze. But the haze in Colorado disappeared before the fires in the state of California did.
Fortunately the horrible fires out there were finally brought under control.
The haze is did bring one spectacular sight to Grand Junction. For several evenings the setting sun was a brilliant crimson.
Yesterday I was heading west for my Wednesday coffee klatch. The western sky was black as night. Indoors with a cup of hot coffee I looked out an east window and the light was bright, the sun was behind a white cloud and the wind had the trees nearly horizontal. Five minutes later the trees were upright and motionless. When we drove home the sky from horizon to horizon was perfect Colorado blue with not a cloud to be seen.
It will be like this almost all the time until after Thanksgiving. I sometimes think turkeys have some influence.
Now that I am in in what might be called politely my autumn years (well, maybe a little past) I do remember autumns of the past.
To the young, autumn means anything but peace. For most of them it means school. To me, from Lowell School trough Englewood High School, fall meant getting up and trudging off to school. Take the Bus? What's a School bus?
And then came college and there were football games, especially the Thanksgiving Day game between Colorado University and Denver University in the old Merchants Park in Denver. To my regret, Whizzer White did not come along until four years later.
Another highly memorable thing about those college years in Boulder was the wind. I have mentioned the autumn wind, haven't I? I usually spent late afternoon in the gym, and getting from there to my sorority house was an adventure. The wind came down from the west and I had to go - west.
Fortunately there were big trees along the street. I could duck down and run to the first tree and catch my breath and then run from tree to tree. And we think we have wind in Grand Junction.
And then there was the day in September when my youngest flew off to college. He had never flown and was unaccompanied by anyone he knew. I think I stood by that fence at Walker fiend and watched the plane until it got to Los Angeles.
And then there is daylight savings time. In the fall we get rid of it. My friend the philosopher has the theory that anything bad that happens while it is in place is the fault of daylight savings time. And in autumn we get rid of it. This theory has not been scientifically proved, but she stands by it.
Colorado in any season is a wonder place to live. But in the autumn the trees turn gold and purple and red, the air smells lovely, and people my age sort of relax and breathe it in.
And it lasts from early September until after Thanksgiving. The trouble is, if you could call it trouble, you never know just what you are going to find when you wake up in the morning. There may even be snow on the ground. It varies from day to day, but very often it ends up with a pure blue sky—Colorado blue.
William C. Bryant says, "Autumn. The year's last, loveliest smile. "

Entrepreneurs Should Choose VCs and Not Vice Versa
5 comments:
- Deep Sherchan said...
Interesting read. In case of investors, I always had one question in my mind. "Why are you doing with your money?"
I have found that these investors survive in their status quo. They had somehow managed to get money by some lucky business venture were looking for more good bet, just like a gambler in the casino. I think they come under your LookUp Tables.
I guess most investors don't even understand technology, coz i have seen them asking all kinds of stupid questions to entrepreneurs.
On the contrary, if the investors really understood technology and vision than he/she would be leading his own team rather than seeking for entrepreneurs.
But there are few good one, I guess who can understand the way the entrepreneurs do. However, I also find many entrepreneurs stuck in the same loop as the investors, they too seem to be looking at quick investment and cheap business plan, profiting each other with no wide vision.
I guess the matching of good entrepreneurs and investors difficult.

Thanks Deep and Paramendra.
I can't agree more with you guys. Investment partner is important; but not as important as we are forced to believe.

As a fellow start-up entrepreneur / CEO, I couldn't agree with you more.

Good luck in your venture!

Rose sits with sore knee but Bulls defeat Wizards 83-81 in first NBA game in South America
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
RIO DE JANEIRO – Derrick Rose missed the first NBA game played in South America on Saturday, sitting out the Chicago Bulls' 83-81 victory over the Washington Wizards with soreness in his surgically repaired left knee.
His absence disappointed a sellout crowd of 13,635 at the HSBC Arena in Rio — the gymnastics venue at the 2016 Olympics.
Without Rose, the Bulls got 18 points from Taj Gibson and 14 from Luol Deng. Bradley Beal led Washington with 16.
Chicago is 3-0 in the preseason and Washington is 0-2.
Rose had played two preseason games without any sign of problems, but the knee flared up Friday in practice. There was no immediate indication of the seriousness of the injury, or whether it was just a case of Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau being cautious.

Consensus Report
Drought Management and Its Impact on Public Water Systems (1986)Water Science and Technology Board
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
In order to focus attention and debate on issues in water science, technology, and policy, the Board introduced a colloquium series in 1985. These colloquia are held once a year following a scheduled Board meeting and are designed to provide public forums for discussion and debate, to stimulate research, and to provide an opportunity for Board members and liaison representatives to interact with the scientific and engineering community. The first colloquium, Drought Management and Its Impact on Public Water Systems, addressed the need for water conservation and planning for future water needs.

Michelle Williams dedicates Oz the Great and Powerful to daughter
- Bang Showbiz
- 3 March 2013
Michelle Williams made 'Oz the Great and Powerful' for her Disney-obsessed seven-year-old daughter Matilda and brought her on set to enjoy the magical atmosphere
Michelle Williams used 'Oz the Great and Powerful' as a "love letter" for her daughter.
The 32-year-old actress plays Glinda the Good Witch in Sam Raimi's upcoming Disney film and chose to star in the feature as she felt it was "made" for seven-year-old Matilda - whose father is the late actor Heath Ledger, who tragically died from an accidental overdose in 2008.
She explained: "['Oz the Great and Powerful'] was a love letter for my daughter ... It was made for her, that was the spirit in my heart when I made it.
"She would visit me at work. She got to go through the hair, make-up and wardrobe, visited the animals and sat next to Sam, holding his hand."
Michelle has previously been type-cast as sad and troubled characters - such as in 2010's 'Blue Valentine' and her Oscar-nominated portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in 'My Week With Marilyn' - and the blonde beauty was happy to prepare for a role which shows the happier side of her personality.
She added in an interview with Look magazine: "['Oz'] was exactly the kind of film I wanted after so many sad roles. It was like an antidote. I always like to spend some time in the months ahead kind of setting a mood, so I watched movies like 'Fantasia' or 'The Princess Bride'.
"But I think that was because I stopped going to school when I was 15, I always have some kind of nervousness of not being prepared enough."

Spartanburg Methodist's baseball team repeated as regional champions by defeating USC Lancaster 8-4 in the final Wednesday afternoon in Burlington, N.C.
BURLINGTON, N.C. — Spartanburg Methodist's baseball visit for the Region X Tournament lasted long enough in the rain-interrupted event.
So the Pioneers didn't see a need to hang around for another day. They repeated as regional champions by defeating USC Lancaster 8-4 in the final Wednesday afternoon at Burlington Athletic Stadium.
"I tell them you can win this thing in four games or in seven and the four is a whole lot easier," Spartanburg Methodist coach Tim Wallace said.
So another game, which would have been played Thursday in the double-elimination tournament, wasn't necessary. Both teams qualified to advance to districts in a revamped postseason format.
The Pioneers (42-13) will take the most momentum later this month to districts, which will be held in West Virginia or Maryland.
"We were trying to get this one out of the way so we could have a nice 10-day break before districts," SMC outfielder Shell McCain said. "It was awesome (in this last game). We came through and gathered ourselves in the middle of the game."
USC Lancaster, which won an elimination game earlier in the day by defeating Florence-Darlington Tech 11-4 to clinch a spot in districts, led 3-1 before the Pioneers posted three-run spots in the fifth and sixth innings. Collin Steagall's two-run single in the bottom of the sixth built the lead to 7-3.
Reid Moman's RBI single in the seventh accounted for the final run.
SMC previously qualified for districts, so the Pioneers were without that pressure. Then Ricky Rice came on in relief in the fifth inning and helped keep the Lancers in check.
"We were in good shape pitching wise," Wallace said. "I thought if we ever got up on them then they would have a letdown."
Rice picked up the victory. He was the only SMC pitcher used in more than one game in the tournament.

In 2014, the BMA is commemorating its 100th anniversary, and we're spending a lot of time thinking about what it means to be a museum turning 100 in the 21st century. How has the BMA changed in the past century, and how might we change into the future, to better serve the needs of our communities? What should our Museum look like and do in the coming 100 years?
The answers to such questions won't be found only inside the Museum, of course. So we're turning to you! As the BMA celebrates its 100th, we want to get to know you: your memories of the BMA, and your hopes, dreams, and your vision for its future. We also want to help you get to know us. What do you want to know about the BMA? Ask us anything!
Tomorrow at Artscape, we'll be launching the #BMABigThinker campaign, inspired by Auguste Rodin's The Thinker, which we recently 3D scanned, we want you to:
- Share your best memory of the BMA.
- Give us your big idea for the BMA's next century.
- Ask a burning question about the BMA.
- Send a message to the BMA's Director in 2114.
We'll use these memories, ideas, and questions, to help envision the BMA of the future. In appreciation, those who come up with the top ideas or memories will receive a mini replica of The Thinker created from Direct Dimensions' high-resolution scan of the BMA's sculpture.
Get involved! Drop by the booth at Artscape tomorrow or let us know using the #BMAbigthinker hashtag on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook, comment on the blog, or get in touch! What are your best memories, your biggest ideas, and burning questions for the BMA? We'd love to hear from you.
