The first rule I hear after moving to L.A. is, "Don't date actors." I heed this warning (which was delivered by an actor) until a friend mentions a new guy in her boxing class.
"He's a cute British runner who plays guitar," she gushes, knowing I'm a fan of words like "British" and "guitar." Then she adds that he moved here from London to act.
Before I can protest, my friend assures me he used to be an actor, but, after years of dead-end auditions and too much booze, he turned to teaching and sobriety. He told her he was ready to meet someone "nice and normal." He was over actresses, done with drama.
So I agree to meet him for coffee at Susina. The night is classic L.A.: crisp and breezy, but nice enough to sit outside. Under a heater.
When I arrive five minutes late, he's reading something literary that may or may not be a prop. He's sandy-haired and wiry with a cheeky grin like Greg Kinnear circa the "Talk Soup" days.
We make easy, coffee-line small talk and laugh awkwardly when our hands bump reaching for napkins. Cue the spark. The attraction is obvious. And not just because he promotes dessert.
"Order the coconut cake," he says pointing to a slice the size of a Prius.
This guy's a definite upgrade from the recent gym-rat-no-fat-vegan who went berserk when he found an El Pollo Loco menu in my kitchen.
Two days later, the Brit calls. The next weekend we meet for brunch downtown at Tiara Café. We peruse the menu, bonding over our mutual breakfast obsession and the gut-wrenching Sophie's Choice over savory versus sweet.
"How about I order pancakes and you get the omelet," he says. "Then we'll split?"
With that, I'm hooked.
When the food arrives we're deep in discussion about our lives (books, film, television). The omelet is hearty, but soon I crave syrupy carbs. I watch him aimlessly down final bites of both breakfasts, completely engrossed in his analysis of why the British version of "The Office" is superior to the American one. I agree with his review but am nonetheless miffed at my absentee pancakes. And myself for not protesting. I let it go, opting to savor our conversation rhythm instead.
I spy traces of neuroses (chain-smoking, bitten fingernails) and selfishness (pancake hoarding), but I'm pulled in anyway. He's insecure about his new teaching role; theater still tugs his heart. I wrestle with childhood dreams versus adult realities too. Hints of his crazy feel relatable and familiar. But maybe daftness with an English accent just sounds better.
When he calls to ask me out again, I swoon. The third date milestone in Los Angeles is akin to engagement in other cities. Plus, he invites me to the Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl with a group of his best mates and their girlfriends.
We park under Runyon Canyon and trek up Franklin. As we join throngs of pedestrians on Highland, he slips his arm around my waist and pulls me close.
"Don't wanna lose you," he whispers into my hair. My stomach flip-flops.
Inside the Bowl, music bellows, crowds cheer and we huddle together, arms entwined.
After the show, our group hikes down the hill. Just past the red ribbon church, he whisks me behind a hedge and kisses me deeply. It's sweet and soft with just enough heat.
Later at his place, he brews mint tea as we comb iTunes taking turns as DJ. After a quick visit to the "loo," I find him cross-legged on the couch, ukulele in hand. Before I can sit, he plucks the tiny cords while humming the chorus of "Hey Jude." Things sort of improve when he sings, but the mix of direct eye contact and theatrical eye-closing makes me squirm. This isn't an audition. Despite my discomfort, I clap, and within seconds of his final note we're horizontal.
In the middle of a deep kiss he hoists himself up on one elbow, "You're great, but I'm not ready for sex."
Wait. Isn't that my line?
"No hurry," I say rising from the couch, pulling him with me. "Walk me to my car?"
Leaning against my Jeep, we kiss again while my mind cuts to a montage of our next date: We laugh and canoodle in the kitchen as I prepare my three-cheese lasagna reserved exclusively for winter and potential long-term commitments.
Back at the car, his hands cup my face, our eyes locked. I expect a deep smooch, but instead he plants a quick peck on my forehead.
"You're such a nice girl," he says as air catches the damp residue from his kiss. "Text me when you get home?"
I nod as he walks backward up the duplex steps, fists deep in pockets.
I text, but no response.
The next morning he sends a Facebook message — a monologue full of clichés that basically says I'm a wonderful person who will make a great wife for someone else, but I'm not his match.
My guess? His inner thespian still seeks the drama I didn't deliver. Fine. He's cute, but the awkward eye-closing, humming and cigarettes suggest he doesn't fit the part for me either. So instead of mourning our meet-cute on the cutting room floor, I'm shifting my attention to a leading man who shares the pancakes.

Cooking is a necessary evil.
My worst mishap was probably when I tried to hardboil too many eggs in a pot at once, and they didn't cook thoroughly. I kept trying to re-cook them, but they WOULDN'T COOK.
Another was when I was managing 4 dishes on the oven on election night. I was trying to listen to the news, so I ended up letting the yams burn. My mom had left them on the oven without telling me to watch them, so it was kinda her fault they burnt to a crisp. She's the only one who likes them anyway. But she was still mad about it.
[add status message]
I don't think I have had a worse mishap.
I hate Crunchyroll.
Cooking is a chance for me to experiment. There's not much in the selection of food places where I live so cooking was the only outlet for me to truly try something new. I've cooked on grills, stovetops, even a pot with a makeshift fire in it. I've even cooked during the holidays. Though it wasn't nowhere close to how my mother makes it, still turned out good.
The worst accident? *flashback to Okinawa, Japan*
I saw a Japanese dessert in a store and wanted to try making it. I was doing fine till I had to fry the dough. I put oil in the pan *holds head* and it was too hot! I burnt it badly and the house stunk of burnt sugar dough! *screams* I never attempted making desserts like that again till I got a proper deep fryer to cook with.
On a positive note, I excelled at making paella, soups, korean bbq ribs, and fried squid. I loved the fried squid, especially with green chili sauce from Pizza Hut. Found out after asking one of the employees that they get it from Tabasco. Go figure
Living life to the fullest as only I can. Thank you.
i love to cook though sometimes my laziness gets me and i end up eating pizza or other junk food.
i prefer cooking asian food because its tasty and usually not too fat. but sometimes some nice german "hausmannskost" is nice too=).
my worst mishap would be: never had one i can remember. of course i cut my fingers a few times but thats nothing big and happens to everyone. as far as i remember i was luckily always able to turn a dish i messed up into something still edible and more or less tasty.
I learnt how to make the best bread today...so simple
look this lol
When you really want something, the whole universe conspires to make it happen.
Cooking is fun, but i'm not very good at it...i can only cook fried eggs xD
Love my faber-Castell Polychromos color pencils~
I can't cook yet >.<
Never Forget, I miss you all and love you all so much. Thank you
I can only make food disappear, not appear. XD
lol jk jk. I can cook, but only simple dishes...
like veryy veryy verry simple.
I also am very clumsy in cooking XD
I can cook very well, but I'd love to learn plating. It would make my dinners even more interesting.
My puff pastry I was making exploded in my oven once, I never touched anything puff pastry related ever again.
Having said that, I am a terrible cook. I'll make a terrible housewife one day haha~
Is hooked on Otome dating sims XD
I am not really that good at cooking, but I love to eat.. Haha. Yup. I like helping people cook though...

It was my fault though, I forgot to poke holes into my pastry. I can imagine the mess an exploded potato would cause lol.

Cooking is one of my greatest pleasures. I love cooking more than I love eating. There are times when I cook just because I want to cook, although tasting the finished product is also a great high point.
I don't have a specific masterpiece but there are several that stand out above the rest. Fresh tomato spaghetti with chicken, daifuku mostly from scratch and chicken udon soup are among the most difficult yet deliciously worth it. There's also a beef curry that I made with a myriad of vegetables, a good mix of spices and Anaheim peppers, Serrano peppers and birds eye chili. Not the most difficult dish I made but arguably the most delicious.
As for my greatest failure, I burnt some tuna belly on the grill. I totally forgot about it and given a few more minutes, I could've used it to fuel the grill.
Free your mind!

Managed in cooperation withSouthwest Florida Water Management District
Southwest FloridaWater Management District
Green Swamp WMA consists of 50,692 acres in Lake, Polk, and Sumter counties. Also known as Green Swamp East, this area is part of the approximately 110,000 acres purchased to protect the land and water resources of the Green Swamp Basin. Green Swamp is a critical recharge area for the Floridian aquifer as well as the source of the Hillsborough, Withlacoochee, Ocklawaha, and Peace rivers. Most of the landscape is pine flatwoods, cypress domes, and hardwoods swamps. Freshwater fishing is good along this segment of the Withlacoochee River. Stanley Fish Hole and Maynard Mines, both accessed from SR 471, are popular fishing spots. Paddling on the Withlacoochee east of SR 471 is not recommended due to the poorly defined channel and numerous logjams. Deer, hog, and turkey hunting are good, although high water makes hunting and other recreational activities difficult at times. More than 20 miles of the Florida Trail, 13.1 miles of which are part of the Florida National Scenic Trail, traverse the area. Portions of the trail are inundated in all but the driest years. Over 20 miles of unpaved service roads are marked for bicycling. Wildlife that may be seen on the area include alligator, white-tailed deer, bobwhite quail, armadillo, gray squirrels, feral hogs, and a variety of birds. Camping is permitted year round at designated campsites and along the Florida Trail. Camping during non-hunting periods requires a permit from the Southwest Florida Water Management District, Brooksville office, (352) 796-7211. Camping during hunting periods requires a camping permit from the FWC; an application may be submitted at a license agent or county tax collector's office or online.

"Unclad," Portland State University School of Architecture's 2013-2014 lecture series, features five internationally renowned lecturers hailing from the fields of architecture, urban design, landscape architecture, architectural criticism, and commedia dell'architettura. These speakers will discuss their work and ideas as they address architecture's seemingly opposing tasks: concealing and revealing, enclosing and disclosing.
The theme of the series springs from Adolf Loos's two seminal essays, "The Principle of Cladding" (1898) and "Ornament and Crime" (1908), in which the author first discussed the origins of architecture as essential enclosure for human activities, and then went on to argue for the stripping away of inessentials from the surfaces of buildings. The trajectory of architecture's development, from enclosure to, by Loos's time, sets of walls layered with adornment, sparked fierce debate and led to new theories of architecture that called for a complete lack of ornament, or cladding. "Unclad" seeks to push these issues further and examine architecture as it is stripped of formulaic solutions and exposed in the nakedness of its possibilities.
The series features visionaries from around the world, including Barcelona architect Iñaki Alday, Georgia Institute of Technology professor Ellen Dunham-Jones, Finland-based multidisciplinary architect Marco Casagrande, acclaimed Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto and UT Austin professor and environmental architect David Heymann.

Iñaki Alday is Chair of the Department of Architecture at the University of Virginia and founding principal of aldayjover, a multidisciplinary practice based in Barcelona, dedicated to the creation of public spaces, landscapes and buildings that integrate scales, nontraditional programs, and social and environmental ethics.

Thursday, November 7, 2013, 6pm
Ellen Dunham-Jones is an award-winning licensed architect and professor teaching contemporary architectural and urban design studios and theory at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Her book, which she co-authored with June Williamson of Retrofitting Suburbia; Urban Design Solutions for Redesigning Suburbs, received the 2009 PROSE award for architecture and urban planning from the American Association of Publishers and was featured in Time magazine's March 23, 2009 cover story, "10 ideas changing the world right now."
Marco Casagrande, Casagrande Laboratory, Karjaa, Finland
Thursday, February 7, 2014, 6pm
Principal of Casagrande Laboratory, a Finland-based studio, Marco Casagrande moves freely between architecture, urban and environmental design, science, art, and circus, while contributing to the cross-over architectural thinking of commedia dell'architettura. "Casagrande is a model for today's young design professional of what an architect should be: visionary, aesthetic, intellectual, and socially responsible," stated Christian Narkiewicz-Laine, the Finnish Museum President of The Chicago Athenaeum (as quoted in ArchDaily). His work has been exhibited internationally at the Venice Biennale, the Havana Biennale and the Hong Kong & Shenzhen Bi-City Biennial.
Sou Fujimoto, Sou Fujimoto Architects, Tokyo, Japan
Thursday, April 24, 2014, 6pm
Sou Fujimoto is a principal of Sou Fujimoto Architects, a Tokyo-based practice distinguished by its provocative buildings that combine material experimentation and structural subtlety with transparency and permeability. Known for his residential and cultural projects, in 2013 he became the youngest architect ever to be invited to design the Serpentine Gallery Summer Pavilion in London. The Serpentine Gallery's website states, "Widely acknowledged as one of the most important architects coming to prominence worldwide, Sou Fujimoto is the leading light of an exciting generation of artists who are re-inventing our relationship with the built environment."
David Heymann, University of Texas, Austin, Texas
Thursday, May 15, 2014, 6pm
David Heymann is the Harwell Hamilton Harris Regents Professor in the School of Architecture at the University of Texas, Austin. His design practice, writing and research address the complex relationship of buildings and natural landscapes.

Group working to save historic New London home from bulldozer
Correction: Saos LLC purchased a house at 94 Ocean Ave. in New London on June 22, 2012, from Constandinos Provatas, according to city land records. Information about the ownership of the property was incorrect in this article.
New London - A tiny yet architecturally significant 1828 Greek Revival house squeezed between Ocean Pizza and a three-story home on Ocean Avenue is in danger of being knocked down within the next month so the lot can be used for restaurant parking.
The leader of New London Landmarks, the city's historic preservation group, says she is fighting an uphill battle to save the historic home at 94 Ocean Ave., one of the first built on the south side of the city in an area that likely was largely farmland in the early 19th century.
The problem, says Landmarks Executive Director Sandra Chalk, is that the city allows only 90 days for preservation groups to find ways to save homes in danger of demolition - not nearly long enough to make all the arrangements in most cases. The state, by contrast, will hold up demolitions for as long as 120 days to allow preservation groups to save significant buildings, she said.
"It's a classic New London situation," Chalk said last week. "We don't have a lot of time."
After a two-month effort to find an alternative plan, Landmarks has secured a promise from the home's owner, Ocean Pizza operator Constandinos Provatas - who bought the house in June for $70,000 - to sell the building for $1 if someone can move it.
She also has secured help from Richard Humphreville, chairman of the city's Historic District Commission, to arrange a move, but Landmarks still needs to find someone willing to pay for the move and to find a spot for the 860-square-foot home.
Provatas, who could not be reached for comment, wants the house torn down to make way for a parking lot accessible from Ocean Avenue to serve Ocean Pizza customers. A lot off a side street that runs behind the pizzeria is hard to access because of a street that is one-way in the wrong direction, and Provatas has rejected an idea suggested by Landmarks to make the street two-way in one small section to allow better access.
"He wants (the house) down right away," Chalk said. "That's the real crisis."
Chalk said Landmarks stepped in after realizing the historic value of the home, which was built by Isaac Thompson, an entrepreneur involved in starting up the Savings Bank of New London, the Union Insurance Co., the New London Female Academy and an early ferry company. One of the home's first tenants was Daniel Penhallow, a stonemason whose work reportedly was in demand during the city's whaling era.
"The house is historically significant," Chalk said. "The architectural details are still there. It was a nice house when it was built."
The house, its windows boarded up, has deteriorated due to lack of maintenance and would have to be completely renovated, Chalk acknowledged. But she believes the corner pilasters and classic eyebrow windows are worth preserving.
"It's not a big house," Chalk said. "This is practical. This could be done."

I used to think I was pretty smart, that I could do anything without no help from nobody nohow. Well, I'm older now and I see now how young and foolhardy I once was.
You know, if I knew then what I know now, I'd have known more than I knew. With that in mind, I'm starting this, the thread where all us old timers can dispense hard-won wisdom to the whipper snappers.
I'll start:
If your girlfriend's being all pissy, don't say "What is it, that time of the month?" Girls really, really hate this. Who knew?
Also, if your friend is in a community play and he invites you to the cast party and you go and you drink a lot and there's this guy who seems really inteested in all your ideas for movie scripts and he offers to get you another drink and your friend comes over to announce that he's leaving and the guy says, hey, you don't have to leave, you can spend the night, they've got extra beds, don't stay. Really. Just go. Trust me on this one. Don't even bother looking for your coat, just go.
Rats make good pets. Hamsters don't.

A Connecticut judge has decided that search warrants in the case of a newsman accused of trying to blackmail David Letterman should be released, except for names of witnesses and "victims by association."
CBS News producer Robert J. "Joe" Halderman has pleaded not guilty to trying to extort $2 million from the late-night TV host in return for keeping some of the comedian's sexual affairs quiet.
Prosecutor Suzanne Vieux filed papers Wednesday arguing that unsealing search warrants could subject witnesses to media scrutiny and hurt the prosecution.
Norwalk Superior Court Judge Bruce Hudok ruled Thursday that the warrants for Halderman's house and car can be released after some information is removed.
The search warrants involve Halderman's house in Norwalk and a 2006 Honda Accord.
The prosecutor also wanted the courtroom closed during a hearing Thursday in Norwalk Superior Court, but that was also denied.

Usually, Sorting Saturday would deal with sorting the (many) piles of paper you have floating around your house, or sorting the (many) folders you have on your computer, or sorting the (many) unlabelled photos you have in (even more) boxes. So I'm going to concentrate on none of that. I think that, in order to be able to even peep through my fingers at the piles, I need to sort myself out first.
I have been ill for the past couple of months, so I haven't blogged at all. And this is the first post I have made - about sorting myself out! I made a page of all the webinars, courses etc which I have attended during 2012 (My 2012 Events), and found a post of mine from December 2010 all about making genealogy goals, so I will repeat my list from there, and add any updates:
# Volunteer to index for FamilySearch
done this, but 'attendance' has become patchy; must improve
# Write this blog more than once a week
progress has become patchy; must improve
# Now I have a Kindle, investigate genealogy books I can acquire (preferably for free)
# Add some more to my family history writing project
ongoing; have acquired copyright permission for cover photo; need to write more
# Write another SFA College of Genealogy course
done - have written five!
# Create a genealogy routine
not done at all
I can add to this list.
# Attend webinars
so far this year I have attended 10, with another 9 planned
# Attend RootsTech
attended via live streaming
# Complete at least one genealogy course
start a Pharos course on Monday 13th August 2012
# Oh, yes, nearly forgot - do some genealogical research on my own family as well!

Twenty-four hours after the Miami Herald published the first part of a series detailing the deaths of almost 500 children, the Florida Senate's top child-welfare legislator said she would overhaul a bill designed to reform the Department of Children & Families.
Sen. Eleanor Sobel said the bill her committee drafted — which passed unanimously through its first committee last week — would have to be rewritten in light of the "Innocents Lost" series, which chronicles the deaths of 477 children whose families had a history with DCF.
"When I started reading it, I had to put it down. It's death in your face," said the Hollywood Democrat who chairs the Senate Committee on Children, Families and Elder Affairs. "We will not sleep or rest until every vulnerable child is rescued from dysfunctional families and guardians. The stories are tear-jerkers. It's unacceptable this has happened to Florida's children."
The number the children who died of abuse or neglect during the past six years increased dramatically as Florida child welfare administrators implemented an intensive family-preservation program that reduced the number of children in state care while slashing services and oversight for children who remained with troubled families.
DCF officials have maintained that family preservation does not trump safety, but conceded that communities may not have enough resources — yet — to assist families struggling with issues such as drug addiction, mental illness and domestic violence. In a statement released late Monday, a spokeswoman said initiatives are underway to improve the agency's work. More here.

Loved Ones, The (US - DVD R1)
Gabe enjoys this probing study of the trepanning and branding processes...
Lola Stone (Robin McLeavy) asked Brent Mitchell (Xavier Samuel) to the prom, but Brent said no and now he's screwed. What happens when Lola doesn't get what she wants? She enlists Daddy's (John Brumpton) help to throw a prom of her own where she is queen and Brent is king, whether he likes it or not. The Loved Ones is what happens when puppy love goes horribly, violently wrong. Brent should have said yes. (From Paramount's official synopsis)
Aside from the female-led, police procedural type thrillers that followed Silence of the Lambs, 'strong' women in horror movies tend to fall into two categories. The first category is the 'final girl' or the would-be victim that effectively fights back and usually kills the villain, in the tradition of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, and every Friday the 13th movie. In the right hands, this trope can be subversive, but is usually cinematic shorthand that really doesn't mean anything to anyone. The second category is that of the horror villainess. Traditionally, the villainess was a vixen or hag character, neither of which particularly transcend the sexist stereotypes that have followed the genre for centuries (obvious exceptions apply). The two types collided in '70s horror films, like The Exorcist and Carrie, where the female victim became the villainess. Carrie White, specifically, was emotionally beaten into the role of murderer as a high school outsider and Brian DePalma's film was popular enough to turn her plight into another horror cliché. There are dozens of mindful horror films that feature distraught feminine outsiders driven to acts of violence and, like Carrie, many of them are built around the real-life horrors of post-adolescent high school life.
First-time feature-length writer/director Sean Byrne's The Loved Ones floated under my radar until it finally arrived in my mailbox for this review. I see now that it was largely very well received by critics, even those without a particular affection for the genre. It appears that most mainstream critics were particularly predisposed to comparing The Loved Ones to the so-called 'torture porn' films that effectively died off with the previous decade. There is an awful lot of film devoted directly to torture and there are no punches pulled in terms of onscreen gore, but really, The Loved Ones is another child of the post- Carrie movie world. Byrne reframes the emotionally distraught adolescent girl tropes for modern eyes, though, at its base, his film is yet another take on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre formula. Unfortunately, he's not the first to take this route with the concepts, though he may be the first to confine so much of the story to a single location. This is specifically the film's greatest strength and a major source of its most obvious problems.
Byrne is clearly coming to The Loved Ones from a short film heritage. His predisposition for location confinements does set a claustrophobic and relentless tone that plays very well against the film's sense of dark comedy. Shorn to something under an hour, this is a nearly perfectly-pitched and tightly knit shocker, which I assume follows the lead set by director's other movies. Instead of leaving his film stripped and lean, Byrne attempts to fill out a feature-length movie with unnecessary cut-aways and subplots. The most obvious unneeded element is a subplot involving Brent's friend, Jamie (Richard Wilson), and his awkward date with the school's resident dark and sexy chick, Mia (Jessica McNamee). Any time the film cuts away from Brent's torture it's a bit of an issue, but Jamie's story is particularly unneeded. This subplot isn't dense enough to stand alone, has very little in the way of build-up or denouement, and, most superfluously, never reconnects to the main narrative save a brief early scene where Jamie asks Mia out in Brent's presence. I kept waiting for Jamie and Mia to happen upon the Stone's homestead, but there's literally zero narrative reason for either character to appear. Funnily enough, Byrne has an excuse for 20 more minutes of screen time built into his story. Unlike Texas Chainsaw Massacre, it feels like we're supposed to really know something about the characters personally, specifically the Stones before events spiral into disturbing chaos. Pertinent information is unraveled as needed, filling out some of the audience's questions, but still, the classic potboil build-up is missing. We're tossed into the deep end of the horror for the most part, which isn't a problem for a short, but feels rhythmically wrong here, especially following the obviously extraneous bits that pull away from the main story.
Byrne's direction makes all the difference his screenplay doesn't. There's nothing about the film that marks him as an obvious first time feature filmmaker. He gets a little showy with the slow motion, but mostly creates an effectively bleak and baroque horror environment that is, at times, genuinely beautiful. I'm guessing this crisp and classy imagery helped the less horrorphile critics accepted the film, along with its strong, natural sense of character. You don't necessarily like everyone on-screen, but they're easy to understand and recognizable as character types without becoming total clichés. Byrne also isn't preoccupied with paying direct homage to horror films past, despite his obvious Texas Chainsaw inspiration and a handful of more direct references to Tobe Hooper's film. Structural issues aside, The Loved Ones is the kind of movie I wish over-loved, reference-obsessed Ty West would make. The Loved Ones reminds me a lot of Lucky McKee's 2011 Jack Ketchum adaptation, The Woman. The two films are actually better companion pieces than The Woman's official thematic precursor, The Offspring and McKee and Byrne's contrasting stylistic approaches compliment each other quite well. Related, McKee and The Woman co-star Angela Bettis are responsible for arguably the best female-centric horror film of the last decade, May, which also works quite well as an extension of the post-adolescent outsider horror film.
It's hard to blame Paramount for not putting such a niche release on DVD only, but Byrne shot the film using RED digital HD cameras and would likely look fantastic on the less compressed Blu-ray format. The transfer's compression effects are largely found along its edges, including haloes and some really unfortunate jaggies. These are found most commonly in wide shots where some of the jaggies bleed into clumpy moiré effects. Details are obviously hampered by standard definition encoding, but are generally pretty impressive, especially close-up facial and clothing textures. Problems arise during the already messy wide shots where the fine textures of the Australlian countryside are mashed up into shapes, rather than details. The digital HD colours are certainly rich and vibrant, even if there are some minor blocking and bleeding effects throughout. Black levels are plenty pure and sharp, but the darker sequences suffer sizably more digital noise without the benefit of HD video's abilities with sharp, pin-light details.
The Loved Ones is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1, which sounds just fine despite obvious compression issues. The mix is pretty minimalist for the most part, but has quite a bit of bite when we're meant to be nervous or frightened. The usual stuff, like moving cars and basic outdoor ambience, meets the most basic expectations for directional movement and stereo/surround enhancement. The track springs a bit more to life when violence is concerned. The beating, slashing, hammering, and drilling of flesh is all quite loud and vigorous. There's also an ongoing animalistic scream motif with the Stone's victims, who have had their voice boxes ravaged by a straight injection of bleach. Rock music plays a heavy role in the mix (no pun intended), especially in terms of dynamic contrasts, as different genres tend to define different characters. The music is appropriately poppy, well spread over the stereo channels with just enough rear channel support to broaden the soundscape, and features some fantastically punchy bass (or throbby, depending on musical type).
The extras are brief, including interviews with actress Robin McLeavy (7:00), actor Xavier Samuel (7:50) and make-up supervisor Justin Dix (8:30), all featuring pieces of behind the scenes footage, and trailers for other Paramount releases.
Aussie horror appeared to be on the precipice of exploding, following the releases of James Wong's Saw, the Spierig Brothers' Undead and Greg McLean's Wolf Creek, but besides the Spierig's mostly American Daybreakers and killer animal movies, like McLean's Rogue, Andrew Traucki's Blackwater and The Reef (which barely got stateside releases) the fire cooled pretty quickly (I've heard mixed-to-good things about Jon Hewitt's Acolytes). The Loved Ones likely hasn't been lumped with the bulk of Aussie horror because outside of the accents and wrong-sided steering wheels, it doesn't really feel particularly Australian. This particular story could be taking place in Middle America. It's too bad too, because I assume some kind of 'The Latest Horror Standout Straight From Australia' box art tag could boost the film's viewership. The Loved Ones has its issues – major ones --– but it's well made, well acted, and will surely please the hungry horror community. This practically bare-bones DVD release doesn't thrill in A/V terms, but generally gets the job done.

Congress Quickly And Quietly Rolls Back Insider Trading Rules For Itself
from the can't-mess-with-the-profits dept
The lopsided votes showed lawmakers desperate to regain public trust in an election year, when the public approval rating of Congress has sunk below 15 percent.Of course, here we are in 2013 and, lo and behold, it is no longer an election year. And apparently some of the details of the ban on insider trading were beginning to chafe Congressional staffers, who found it hard to pad their income with some friendly trades on insider knowledge.
So... with very little fanfare, Congress quietly rolled back a big part of the law late last week. Specifically the part that required staffers to post disclosures about their financial transactions, so that the public could make sure there was no insider trading going on. Congress tried to cover up this fairly significant change because they, themselves, claimed that it would pose a "national risk" to have this information public. A national risk to their bank accounts.
It was such a national risk that Congress did the whole thing quietly, with no debate. The bill was introduced in the Senate on Thursday and quickly voted on late that night when no one was paying attention. Friday afternoon (the best time to sneak through news), the House picked it up by unanimous consent. The House ignored its own promise to give Congress three days to read a bill before holding a vote, because this kind of thing is too important to let anyone read the bill before Congress had to pass it.
And, of course, yesterday, President Obama signed it into law. Because the best way to rebuild trust in Congress, apparently, is to roll back the fact that people there need to obey the same laws as everyone else. That won't lead the public to think that Congress is corrupt. No, not at all.

Skip to comments.The key to understanding Pope Francis: the 99 lost sheep
Posted on 09/21/2013 7:01:20 AM PDT by NYer
If the Pope's main responsibility is to keep us all comfortable, then Pope Francis is failing miserably.
But that's not really the Pope's job, is it?
For the past several weeks—and more than ever in the past 24 hours, since the release of the Pope's blockbuster interview in America-- friends have been complaining that the Holy Father has a tendency to say things in a way that could cause confusion. He makes statements that the media can easily distort, they say. And they're undoubtedly right.
But there's a precedent for that way of speaking. Jesus made people uncomfortable. The Lord's words and gestures were often misinterpreted, and his critics found it easy to put things in an unfavorable light. Jesus ate with tax-collectors and sinners, they charged; He didn't show sufficient respect for the Law. Now the Vicar of Christ is subject to similar accusations. Somehow it fits.
Would it be better, really, if the Pope limited himself to statements that could not possibly be distorted? Should he stop trying to make subtle distinctions, or making new observations about controversial topics? That would be a form of self-censorship: shaping the message to suit the media. Far better, I think for the Pope to speak frankly, telling the truth in and out of season, letting the chips fall where they may.
Yes, the media will distort the message. They will pretend, as far as they can, that Pope Francis has changed the fundamental message of the Church. But sooner or later that ploy will fail, because the Pope will say something directly contrary to the message the media have attributed to him.
In this case, it didn't take too long. The ink wasn't dry on all the stories alleging that the Pope wanted to hear less talk about abortion, when the Pope himself delivered a blistering indictment of the "throwaway culture" that denigrates the value of human life. "Every unborn child unjustly condemned to be aborted has the face of Jesus Christ," the Pope told a group of doctors today.
Those who read the Pope's interview carefully, rather than relying on sensational and simplistic interpretations, realize that he did not say anything terribly new. His style of speech, his approach to issues, is unfamiliar. But the content of his message is the familiar teaching of the Catholic Church.
Oddly enough, some of the Pope's critics recognized that he had not endorsed the changes in doctrine that they longed for. The Washington Post acknowledged that the interview contained no new teachings. Damon Linker, writing in the New Republic, sounded forlorn as he observed: "The interview contains no sign that the Pope is willing to budge on any of the items on the progressive Catholic wish-list of reforms."
Here we have an odd phenomenon: While the Pope is allegedly trying to downplay unpopular Church teachings, the very critics of those teachings are emphasizing them! Dissident Catholics are anxious to exploit the Pope's words, to argue that we no longer need to oppose legal abortion and same-sex marriage. But critics of the Church are, in effect, reining in the dissenters, reminding them that the Church still does oppose abortion and homosexual activities. One way or another, as Pope Francis observed, the teachings of the Church on these issues are well known.
"We cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage and the use of contraceptive methods," Pope Francis said (emphasis added)." He did not say that we should be silent. Later he added that "it is not necessary to talk about these issues all the time (emphasis added again). The Pope's key observation fell between those two sentences, when he said: "But when we speak about these issues, we have to talk about them in a context."
It is the context, then—not the controversial issues themselves—that concerns the Pontiff. He does not want the Church to hammer away on points that are already well known. He sees a problem of diminishing returns. The people who are disposed to accept the Church's teachings are already convinced; those who are hostile to those teachings are no longer listening. We need to find new ways to reach them.
And we can reach them, the Pope promises, if we return to the fundamental truths of Christian faith. "A beautiful homily, a genuine sermon must begin with the first proclamation, with the proclamation of salvation," he told his Jesuit interviewer. Someone who accepts the essential truth of the Gospel, someone who sees the route to salvation, might then be open to hearing more about Catholic moral teaching. On the other hand, those who disregard the essentials—those who have come to see the Church as merely a political structure, imposing old rules—are unlikely to be persuaded by one more iteration of the arguments.
(By the way, some of my friends have argued, with ample justification, that the Pope is simply wrong to say that the Church has spoken out too often about abortion, homosexuality, and contraception. In fact, my friends observe, bishops and priests have been conspicuously silent on those issues. That is sadly, undeniably true. Yet still the Pope has a point. Bishops and priests do not constitute the Church. We are the Church—you and I, as well as the bishops and priests and religious. Have we, you and I, sometimes taken pleasure in denouncing an evil, when it would have been more effective, and more charitable, to say something about God's merciful love? I, for one, plead guilty to that charge.)
Is this a radically new message? Not at all! Pope Benedict XVI frequently said that the faith is not a matter of accepting intellectual propositions, but a matter of making a commitment to Christ. Pope John Paul II admonished the faithful that our job, as missionaries in a secular world, is to help our neighbors "see the face of Christ." This remains the fundamental challenge of evangelization: to bring people to Christ. With the help of grace, their behavior might change after they embrace the faith—not before.
So why are so many faithful Catholics upset by what the Pope has said? Because he has abandoned Church teaching? No. Because he has said something very new? No. Many of my friends, I fear, are disturbed because the Pope's approach—his cajoling tone, his irenic line of thought—might give aid and comfort to the enemy. Yet that's dangerous for a Christian, isn't it—to think of people as enemies?
By now we all know people—friends, neighbors, relatives, colleagues—who have procured abortions, or who are active homosexuals, or live in irregular marital situations. How do we treat these people? Too often, I fear, we try to ignore them, or at least ignore their problems. We could do better.
But how can we help them? It will not help, in most cases, to keep telling them that their behavior is immoral. They have tuned out that message. But maybe, with patience and prayer, we can help them to recognize the grace of God, to see the power of the Gospel, to accept the message of mercy that Pope Francis emphasizes at every opportunity. A friend may be willing to confront his own sin, as soon as he realizes that a loving God is ready to forgive him.
A few weeks ago I wrote in this space to support John Allen's suggestion that Pope Francis should be known as the "Pope of Mercy." Let me now sharpen that suggestion, by pointing to one statement that strikes me as the hermeneutical key to understanding the pastoral approach taken by this surprising new Pontiff.
In June, in a talk to an ecclesiastical congress of the Rome diocese, Pope Francis recalled the story of the Good Shepherd, who leaves his 99 sheep to search for one that is lost. Then he suggested that in today's secular culture, the shepherds of the Catholic Church confront a very different problem. "It's the 99 who we're missing!" he said. "In this culture, let's face it, we have only 1. We are the minority!"
The pastor of a Catholic church has several challenges that he must approach simultaneously: encouraging good Catholics to become better Catholics; encouraging indifferent Catholics to become good Catholics; encouraging lapsed Catholics to become active; and encouraging non-Catholics to enter the Church. Ordinarily the pastor works first with the active Catholics—with those who are already in the pews—hoping to form a cadre that will help him evangelize others. That was certainly the approach taken by Benedict XVI, who testified to the power of a "creative minority" in the Church and in the world.
Pope Francis, however, sees a need for a more drastic approach. The sheep are leaving the fold; the 99 are already lost! So he has devoted his first attentions to the outsiders; he speaks constantly of bringing the Gospel to those "on the periphery." As a young Jesuit, he wanted to be a missionary. As things turned out he never served in distant lands, but he brought a missionary outlook to his work in Buenos Aires, and now he has brought it to Rome.
More to the point, Pope Francis has brought his missionary outlook to you and to me. He wants us to join him in the task of bringing the Gospel to the "periphery," telling our neighbors about God's infinite mercy, proclaiming the joyful news of salvation. He's asking us to do things that, frankly, we are not always comfortable doing.
Yes, the Pope makes me uncomfortable. As well he should.
The Parable of the Lost Sheep- The Lord speaks of a shepherd who leaves ninety-nine sheep to search for one who is lost. Would a shepherd likely do this? Probably not! The passage drips with irony, even absurdity. Perhaps if the lost sheep was near at hand he might venture over the next hill. But the average human shepherd would cut his losses and stay with the ninety-nine. Many of us might even consider it irresponsible to leave ninety-nine to search for one. It's crazy!
Crazy! A Homily for the 24th Sunday of the Year
It is their teachings which draw people....be kind, be loving, visit the sick, respect, etc etc....it's all about purpose and goodness and faith.
Its the 99 who were missing! he said. In this culture, lets face it, we have only 1. We are the minority! [Pope Francis]Indeed. Loved this article; Phil Lawler is always a good read.
Zot, One of your favorite parables.
A pastoral outréach is great. But I pray the church will continue preaching the moral message, too. Right now there are so few places other than the church where basic morality is even considered (other than as fodder for jokes).
Indeed, failing to warn those of the consequences of their actions isn't going to help them, or us, in the long run.
If the medium's still the message, the Vatican PR folks certainly chose the wrong magazine, despite the Pope's connection with its publishers, to explain the "new" message. The ultra-leftist "America" has been propping up the so-called "theology" of the so-called "99" for 3/4 of a century! No orthodox Catholic will take a word in this article at face-value.
IMO, it's only a matter of time before the Almighty puts an end to the wholesale slaughter of these innocents.
The good Pope would do better to more forcibly warn of this sin against both God and humanity.

Did you see his address to medical personnel the next day where he did not change one iota on the abortion issue?
I think that instead of trying to convert the unbelievers, the Pope would do better to court the protestant churches and to try to convince them to rejoin the catholic line. He may be only 1 sheep of a 100, but the 99 are still mostly christian believers, they just aren't catholic. In particular, he should more forcefully address their sola fide and sola scriptura doctrines. If he presented concrete scriptural evidence for the necessity of good works and of the sacraments, and presented it directly to the ministers of the protestant churches instead of their constituents who listen to the ministers before the Pope, the reunification of the church just might happen.
I posted the following link on another thread but perhaps you missed it. Fr. Longenecker pinpoints the problem, most insightfully.
Beginning in the 60's, Christian preachers started to play down the sin thing. People were sick not sinful. They were wounded and needed healing. They were confused and needed guidance they were lost and needed to be found. They were OK, they just needed to find out that they were OK.
A few generations went by and people no longer understood what this thing called sin was at all. Furthermore we told them that they were wounded and lost and confused and sick, but they told us they didnt feel wounded or lost or sick or confused so we clearly had the problem they didnt.
Suddenly they didnt know that they needed a saviorsomeone who supernaturally forgave them of their sins because they didnt know that they were sinners because we didnt tell them what sin was.
The high standards of Catholic moral teaching are given as a criteria for diagnosis of the human condition. The preacher who points out sin is not a bad guyhes a good guylike the doctor who gives the bad news that what you thought was heartburn is actually cancer and you need surgery and quick. If he just pats you on the head and smiles and gives you an aspirin he may be a nice guy, but hes not a good doctor.
As the Pope has pointed out in todays interview just telling people they are sinners in an arbitrary way doesnt make sense. They dont know why what they are doing is wrong. Just saying that its wrong because the Bible says so doesnt work. They dont believe the Bible. Just saying its wrong because I am an authority figure and I say its wrong doesnt work because they do not accept my authority.
Essentially, moral relativism has taken over in western society. What was once considered sin has been twisted by this society, even to its legalization. Preaching is no longer effective when people respond that government has given them them their legal rights. Hence, they begin to doubt the existence of God. Think carefully about that ... look around you ... those folks cohabiting outside of marriage, contracepting, aborting their unwanted children ... all legal ... are "attached" to their sin and blinded by its legalization. To reach them, requires a more loving approach.
Sorry, but good luck with that.
A better approach would be presenting them with an undeniable proof of YHVH's existence and the outcome of inequity gone unchecked. Unfortunately most Christian religions are failing miserably in this fundamental area.
To reach them requires removing the mistranslations, inconsistences, and outright fabrications being presented as the Word of the Almighty today. People are much smarter today and better able to think for themselves.
What they really need, and are seeking, is the truth! Someone holding their hand and telling them they are really good little boys and girls and that everything will be alright, isn't going to work, and will only lead to more iniquity.
This was all was prophesied thousands of years ago and we're seeing those prophecies being fulfilled right before our eyes.
Unfortunately, Scripture doesn't agree with him on those subjects, so he wouldn't be able to use them. As far as good works go, they show faith, they don't accrue salvatory credits or merit, that has already happened through Christ.
I have been reading a little about Bart Ehrman, a Scripture scholar who has been doing a lot of writing and speaking over the past 20 ore 30 years about what he would call about the "mistranslations, inconsistencies, and outright fabrication" in Scripture. This approach has resulted in his conversion from Evangelical Christianity to agnosticism, and has acted as a solvent, dissolving the faith of hundreds of students he has influenced.
I'm not sure I understand your point: how does a debunking and skeptical approach toward our received Scripture assist in people's moral guidance?
"People are much smarter today"
That I find dubious.
>That I find dubious.
LOL, in a way you have a point, however it depends on the grading curve you are using. In this case, we have to use a very large one. :)
I'm not familiar with Bart Ehrman, or his teachings. Therefore unable to even hazard a guess as to what the problem might be. I do know of fast growing movements to uncover the truth and to share what they've discovered.
Unlike many other beliefs that are seeing a decline in membership, these assemblies are growing daily and very enthusiastic about their journey to a better understanding.
The unleavened truth is for more convincing than manmade fabrications or misunderstandings could ever be.
A visiting priest gave an interesting homily on this parable. He said that a shepherd would leave the 99 if he had a sheep dog to watch them. Then he said: "I am God's sheep dog."

It is not as if unforgiving people lose their salvation, Matthew Henry says, for "those who do not forgive their brother's trespasses, did never truly repent of their own, and therefore that which is taken away is only what they seemed to have." Henry also gives a great principle for the Christian life: "God multiplies his pardons, and so should we. We should make it our constant practice to forgive injuries, and should accustom ourselves to it until it becomes habitual."

Avi Buffalo
where they go?
I remember really liking their first album, completely forgot about them
until I saw this post. Were they not one of p4ks hot tips?!
The hot girl quit. Band then toured UK and had to downgrade venues due to poor ticket sales. Rebecca is now in Pageants. Avi has been running a home studio project and writing 2nd Avi Buffalo album.
I've been wondering the same thing
They played Primavera recently. Was wondering if Avi had had a nervous breakdown or something...he seems like the type of person that would.

Former Alabama Football Star Vaughn Mancha Passes Away At The Age Of 89 park
Former Alabama football star Vaughn Mancha, a College Football Hall-of-Famer and a member of a pair of Crimson Tide Sugar Bowl teams, passed away on Jan. 27 in Tallahassee, Fla. He was 89.
Mancha, a four-year starter at center and middle linebacker, led his team to the Sugar Bowl in 1945 and 1948. Alabama took on the Duke Blue Devils in the 10th Sugar Bowl Classic in a matchup that has been described as "one of the great thrillers of all time." Alabama came out strong and scored 19 of its 26 points in the first half, but the Blue Devils rallied to take the lead late in the game. With less than a minute remaining, Alabama had one last shot, but receiver Ralph Jones was brought down at the Duke 24 as time expired.
Three years later, during Mancha's senior season, Alabama returned to the Sugar Bowl against Texas. Alabama had a tough time getting its offense going managing only a second quarter touchdown. Meanwhile, Texas rode the efforts of quarterback Bobby Layne, who would go on to be selected for the College and Pro Football Halls of Fame. Twenty second-half points gave the Longhorns a 27-7 victory.
Mancha played in all 60 minutes of the 1948 Sugar Bowl and was member of the Sugar Bowl all-decade team. He was one of 78 College Football Hall of Fame players to compete in the Sugar Bowl. Forty-four Hall of Fame coaches have also directed their squads in Sugar Bowl action.
Although Mancha left a lasting impression at Alabama and the Sugar Bowl, his career went on for many years to follow, both at the professional and collegiate levels. His impact both on and off the field will be remembered for many years to come.

1. i gets me back faster to the lineup
2. it allows me to use a size smaller, so turns faster

Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned
This section of the guide briefly covers four other elements you'll want to explore in The Lost and Damned, apart from the DLC's main quests and seagull slaughtering, in order to contribute to your game completion total.
|Random Encounters
GTAIV's main quest with Niko had random encounters, and the DLC is no different, though the random encounters are fewer and take on a sort of different tone. Instead of dealing exclusively with random strangers you meet on the street, you'll be dealing mostly with friends in a bind. The catalyzing locations of these encounters are represented by "people icons" on your HUD. Go to this location to begin the random encounter mission, and then follow the instructions (which vary from quest to quest) to see it through.
|Gang Wars
New to The Lost and Damned DLC are gang wars. Since Niko wasn't part of a gang, you didn't have to deal with any of this stuff in the main quest. But in the DLC, Johnny, the main character, is part of The Lost Motorcycle Club (also known as The Lost MC, or simply TLMC.) And his gang hates other biker gangs. The red icons on your map that look like an explosion is the location you'll want to head to in order to begin one of these missions. Just make sure to go to the icon with a two-wheeled vehicle (motorcycle or scooter), or you won't be able to take part in the gang war. Then, ride to the location determined on your map and wipe out your competition.
|Motorcycle Races
During GTAIV's main quest, Niko got to race some awesome cars through his shady (yet hysterical) friend Brucie. In The Lost and Damned DLC, Johnny will get to race some of his friends on motorcycles instead of in cars. These races take on nearly-identical form to the car races. There are laps and competition, and you must win the race at hand to unlock the next one. But since you're on a bike, you have more freedom. Don't neglect to use your baseball bat to stymie your fellow riders, giving you the one-up needed to win any given race.
|Stealing Vehicles
In The Lost and Damned, your friend Angus is one shady character (though not necessarily any more shady than your other friends.) When you get in touch with him, he'll order you to go steal a bike, one that's usually in use, and instruct you to bring it back to the Lost clubhouse in Alderney. Of course, if the bike is in use, it's ever-moving, so the turquoise icon that appears on your map thereafter is the general location of where you're headed. This can be a profitable and worthwhile endeavor, so be sure to take him up on these offers.

One surprise in the spring Budget was the chancellor's decision to cut the tax-free dividend allowance from £5,000 to £2,000 from April 2018. Although the benefits are reduced, it is still worth couples redistributing investments between them to maximise their allowances. But perhaps of more importance is to consider transferring assets to make the best possible use of ISA and pension allowances, to provide a long-term shelter from further Income Tax, and Capital Gains Tax.
Still available is the Personal Savings Allowance, a nil-rate Income Tax band on bank or building society interest of £1,000 a year for basic-rate taxpayers and £500 for those paying at the higher rate. While not providing a complete shelter from tax on interest, the availability of the allowance continues to prompt questions over the value of ISAs as a home for cash savings.
The value of an investment with St. James's Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds selected and may fall as well as rise. You may get back less than the amount invested. An investment in equities will not provide the security of capital associated with a deposit account with a bank or building society.
The levels and bases of taxation, and reliefs from taxation, can change at any time and are generally dependent on individual circumstances.

Dread Removal Before and After
Thanks to MODERN Facebook fan Callie Elliott, a stylist at A Great Escape Spalon, in Farmville, VA, for sharing this incredible before and after story.
Meet her client, Zoey, who came into the salon to have her dreads removed for a job interview for an internship.
"She was hoping to at least have 3 inches of hair, and was praying she didn't have to shave it," Elliott says. "It took us 4 hours and 6 different stylists, but we removed them all and left her with twice the length she was hoping for. Before she left, she told us 'this was the best salon experience she's ever had.' We sure do love our clients!"
WE WANT TO SEE YOUR WORK! Want to be modernsalon.com's next featured artist? Send your work, and info on how you did it (color formulas, steps on styling or cutting method, etc) to MODERN's Alison Shipley [email protected]

An article by therapist and writer Lori Gottlieb in this month's Atlantic Magazine explores a fascinating and provocative question: is it possible to pay too much attention to your children, setting them up for an inability to cope with real life later?
Plus: Does Having Kids Make You Less Happy?
Gottlieb, a mom herself, says when she started her practice she noticed a trend: patients who'd had wonderfully involved and supportive parents were landing in her office to complain of depression, emptiness and indecision. These are parents who tell their children "good job" constantly, and "good try" when they miss the mark. Instead of telling them what's what, they give their children choices. They honor their child's feelings and work out a compromise instead of saying no. Gottlieb hypothesizes that by shielding their kids from disappointment and anxiety, parents also shield them from experiences that build resiliency and true self-esteem. Being too attuned to kids' feelings also keeps them from growing out of the narcissism of childhood, so they can't cope with criticism at work or cooperate as part of a team as young adults.
Plus: How to Be a Happier Mom
The long article raises a lot of interesting questions, and is worth a read. What do you think of this idea that parents are actually crippling their kids by being sensitive to their every need? Do today's kids need to be toughen up?

I am a sucker for office supplies and paper goods. I have drawers full of pens, pencils, sticky notes, notecards, markers, scissors, etc. I have no idea what draws me in, but this obsession of mine is slowly taking over not only my desk, but the drawers in my kitchen. I think part of the reason for the plethora of pens, scissors and paper in my house is that I grew up in a house quite the opposite. If you needed to write down a phone number or a message, you would have to search and search for a pen and paper to write on. And, if you were having a really lucky day, the pen you would actually find would work! Imagine that!
Now that this obsession is out in the open, it will come to no surprise to you all that when I stumbled upon the website of Nicole Howard, I fell in love. Nicole is the owner and designer for Miss 'N Nick Designs. Her stationary designs are sophisticated, yet whimsical. The cupcake note cards got my attention right away… what a perfect little note card to send out to all of your foodie and non-foodie friends! This is why I chose the Box of 10 Cupcakes Note Cards as the 2nd Dine and Dish Giveaway.
If you are interested in participating, simply leave a comment (please include your email address and link to your blog in the contact form) on this post by midnight CST on Saturday, May 31st. If you don't have a blog, leave a comment and email me with a link to your favorite blog… just to control trolls. The random drawing will take place on June 1st and the winner will be announced sometime that day.
While you are taking a look at Miss 'N Nick Designs, head on over to Nicole's food blog too. Her blog, Art and Ailoi ( a blog about art, food, and the art of food) has quickly become a favorite!
Thanks for entering and good luck!

Law School Admissions / LSAC help!« on: October 15, 2013, 12:07:32 PM »
I decided to re-apply to law school after leaving from my previous law school after the first semester due to a major loss in my family. I figured since my LSAT score and LSAC account are still active, I would give it a shot. The only school I would be applying to gave me a fee waiver and encouraged me to apply since I am a URM and a Veteran. Anyways, does anyone know how to update my docs on LSAC.ORG. I need to write a new PS and update my resume. I have very strong LOR's that i would like to still use. I know that they are a little outdated, but they are good. Forgive me for not knowing, it has been more than a few years since I have navigated this process. Do I submit a PS and Resume on LSAC or do I directly send those in to the admissions office? I fell like I should know, but I don't. Thanks in advance!

Revision as of 12:45, 10 March 2011 by David williams.acm.org (Talk | contribs) (→WTP 3.3.0)
WTP Development Status Meeting
Remember, any committer can add an agenda item. Typically, short announcements or news items go in the "Announcements" section at the beginning. Longer items or issues requiring discussion should go in the "Other business" section at end.
Announcements And Special Reports
- ? - Any other announcements
WTP Calendar
(Weekly Google Calendar updated through June, 2011)
For Indigo/Helios overall dates, see a Simultaneous Release Calendar
- Ready to declare latest build (first M build declare)?
- Details of ramp down and release to be discussed/decided in the weeks ahead. Approximately May
- We assume our prereqs will remain unchanged from Helios SR2.

- RC4 06/02 (for delivery to Indigo+2 on 06/07) [Final build]
Other business
- Reminder that we (or, many of us?) will be moving to daylight saving time soon, on 3/13.
- Assuming/proposing there be no status meeting, in two weeks, 3/24, due to EclipseCon, but that we will still have declared builds as usual.
- Build releng changes:
- - Changed wtp4x (Eclipse 4.1) builds to run only once per day (if changes to source code). Since, it is essentially a "test".
- - Hope to soon run unit tests with Eclipse 4.1 as well. Initial, local builds showed no new problems.
- - turned off custom access rule handling in batch build bug 325066. This doubles number of access warnings, from 60K to 120K warnings. Either amount is unmanageable. Turning off saves a little time during build (20-30 minutes?). Feel free to discuss/dissent in {bug|325066}}.
- - added a "fast fail" check, if serious errors detected in log, such as a problem doing a cvs checkout, or similar. One problem is that if there are no serious errors, it results in a lot of red "Result: 1" messages in build log notices. Will need to write our own ant task to overcome that (and other Ant limitations). Issues documented in bug 339166
- Other ?
- ↑ Hotbug Policy
- ↑ Our plan dates are on 'Friday' of the week. But, we produce and test the build on Thursday of the week, and ideally declare on Thursday. The dates in the Google Web Tools group calendar are for 'Thursdays' since that's a calendar for committers. We give ourselves the buffer to Friday, as our "public" date, that others can pick up our build, just in case a regression is found on Thursday and we have to respin and retest. [Technically, some might say, we still have till the following Tuesday or Wednesday for some "Simultaneous Release" due dates ... but it's hard to do much in that window, without disrupting everyone ... so we'll not use that buffer, except for the worst emergencies.]
