8 Breaking Bad Desserts & Cocktails You Should Make for the Finale
This series finale of AMC's Breaking Bad is this Sunday – are you prepared to say goodbye? After what has arguably been the best season of the show, the series deserves to go out with a bang. Bakers and boozers alike have been inspired to cook some interesting things to celebrate. WARNING: There are a lot of blue pop rocks ahead.
Undoubtedly, my favorite of these concoctions is the "Walter White Cupcakes" which have a simple, vanilla exterior, but is filled with blue "meth" on the inside – just like Walter.

When the students of Hogwarts and Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters aren't fighting for survival, they're battling ennui, insecurity, and their own hormones. Jillian Tamaki's SuperMutant Magic Academy captures all of the teen angst you'll find at a school for magical mutants — or any school at all.
Jillian Tamaki illustrated the moodiness of an all-girls' school in Skim, the graphic novel written by her cousin Mariko Tamaki. In her cheekily titled webcomic, Jillian Tamaki takes the reigns, sketching out her own characters with their own high school woes. Although the students of SMMA may take spells and potions classes, and some of them sport scales and fur over their skin, their concerns are largely mundane. Marsha is secretly in love with her best friend, Wendy the feminist Kitsune. Lizard-girl Trixie is boy-crazy. Trevor vents his ample frustrations through his laser-shooting eyeballs. Hypercephalic Gemma wants to be valued for her intellectual prowess, and gets frustrated when other folks don't live up to her academic expectations.
But Tamaki doesn't forget the mystical nature of her superpowered prep school. There are surprising parodies of supernatural high school conventions (like Harry Potter recast as an ordinary housecat), and a lot of moments that prove that magic isn't always all it's cracked up to be. But the most important thing about the individual SMMA comics is that they're relatable, even when they're magical. We're not asked to wonder how all that melancholy will turn these high schoolers into heroes; we're just asked to accept that all teenagers have these small moments of strangely amusing tragedy.
Perhaps the character whose powers are most at the forefront is Everlasting Boy, the teen who cannot die. He seems to have the worst of SMMA lot. After all, he might be the one teenager who can never leave high school.

"Ronan," Taylor Swift's new song, has quickly found it's way to No. 1 on the iTunes chart and has been downloaded more than 327,000 times. While the Grammy-winning singer ordinarily finds inspiration for her chart-toppers from personal trials with romantic love, Ronan's lyrics come from a different place altogether.
Ronan Thompson was only three years old when he was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, an often-deadly childhood cancer. His mother, Maya Thompson, began a blog called Rockstar Ronan, as a way to keep family and friends up to date on her son's deteriorating health.
PLUS: Vote on Facebook to Help this Little Boy's Charity
Many strangers began to follow his story too — including Taylor Swift and her mother, reports MSNBC.com. After rounds of chemotherapy, surgery and radiation, Ronan passed away three days before his fourth birthday.
Six months later, Thompson's final words to her son -- "Let's get out of here" -- and heart-wrenching posts shared after his untimely death prompted Swift to reach out to the grieving mother. Soon after their tear-filled meeting, Thompson got a call from Swift, who said she had written a song about Ronan and wanted to give her a writing credit, since it was based on the words from her blog.
PLUS: Video: 12 Year Old Shares Her Journey with Cancer
"I was very touched that she knew such important little intimate details about his life and death and our story," she told The New York Times after Swift's performance of Ronan at The Stand Up to Cancer telethon held earlier this September, which is Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month.
All of Swift's royalties are being donated to cancer charities. Ronan's mother's share will go to the Ronan Thompson Foundation, which will hopefully allow her to establish a neuroblastoma research and treatment center.

- The Charley Harper prints were the inspiration for the explosion of color in this room. I loved all the bird prints in the "An Illustrated Life book", but I couldn't pick just 1 or 2, so I went with my 9 favorites paying no attention to a specific color theme.
- Colors used in my room:
- Colors of Walls:
Sherwin Williams - Passive

Colors in Accessories:

- Tips for using color successfully:
- My best tip is to have fun with different hues, but be sure not to overwhelm the space. Do this by keeping either the walls OR the accessories colorful..not both. The "institutional" gray walls don't appear depressing at all thanks to the massive amounts of bold, bright, and happy colors.

WWF invites 70 companies to 2013 Environmental Paper Company Index
The EPCI started in its current form in 2010 and is one of WWF's key tools to promote and reward transparency and continual improvement to reduce the environmental footprint of paper production. The index is produced every two years. It offers an opportunity for paper producers in all product sectors to set a signal for transparency on environmental performance and to receive public recognition from the leading conservation organization WWF.
"Transparency is increasingly recognized by the industry as an important aspect of their operations, and many companies today make efforts on transparency in various ways," says Emmanuelle Neyroumande, Manager of WWF International's global pulp and paper work. "WWF´s Environmental Paper Company Index facilitates a better understanding of complex data sets by focusing on the most important parameters and filtering them through an environmental lense."
In 2012, the EPCI method was reviewed in cooperation with paper manufacturers from around the world in order to improve its global applicability and relevance. WWF also changed the EPCI to focus on a reference format, presenting collated results per company rather than presenting a comparison matrix.
"All participating companies will be applauded for being transparent on their environmental performance, which is more important than actual results in this exercise," says Neyroumande. "The new reference rather than comparison format of the EPCI will hopefully make it attractive for more producers to take part."
Deadline for participating is 30th of June 2013.
Companies that have not been invited but would like to participate can contact the WWF International Paper Team at firstname.lastname@example.com

The journey that started 18 months ago to create a next generation Amiga on commodity hardware has now reached its first major milestone by becoming a completely driver native Aros system powered by the energy efficient Intel Atom processor. This has been achieved with the supply of hardware and in some cases financial rewards to key developers in the Aros world. The plan with the following steps has been to create a base reference platform for Aros and the Amiga community to build on and support.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) provided very few surprises for the world wheat market when it released its annual Prospective Plantings report last week.
All wheat seeded area for 2013/14 is expected to reach 56.4 million acres, which if realized, would be 1 percent greater than last year's actual seeded area and up slightly from an earlier estimate.
Experience shows, however, that as winter wheat begins its push to maturity, the crop's true potential lies in the hands of Mother Nature.
The well-publicized drought in the southern and central plains has been a source of concern for hard red winter (HRW) wheat prospects.
Check current wheat futures prices
Despite extremely low soil moisture levels last fall, estimated HRW seeded area dropped just 3 percent from 2011/12 to 28.9 million acres.
In Kansas, the largest HRW producing state, seeded area is estimated down 2 percent to 9.3 million acres.
However, in Texas and Oklahoma, the second and third largest HRW producers respectively, estimated seeded area is unchanged from last year at 5.7 and 5.4 million acres respectively. However, the amount of winter wheat area that may be abandoned this spring is still unknown.
While drought conditions certainly affected HRW seedings, the United States has the advantage of a very large and geographically diverse growing area. Better conditions outside the plains supported increased seedings of every other class of U.S. wheat except durum.
USDA expects hard red spring (HRS) wheat area will increase an estimated 3 percent to 12.1 million acres, the most in three years.
An estimated 8 percent increase to 6.2 million acres in North Dakota, the largest HRS producing state, accounted for most of the additional acreage. Yet, there is still snow covering much of the potential spring wheat acres and a late spring could cut into the projected increase.
Soft white (SW) and hard white (HW) wheat seeding is up an estimated 1 percent to 3.99 million acres, although that total is 5 percent below the five-year average.
Soft red winter
The largest by-class increase in estimated seeded area was for soft red winter (SRW), up 19 percent to 9.67 million acres. That is the most since 2008/09. Increases from last year are expected in almost every SRW state, including a record high 960,000 acres in North Carolina.
In contrast, the largest decline among all the U.S. wheat classes will come in durum. USDA estimates durum seeded area will be down 18 percent from last year to 1.75 million acres, which would be the second lowest since 1960/61.
Erica Olson, marketing specialist with the North Dakota Wheat Commission, attributed a potential decline to tough competition from spring wheat and other crops. USDA expects that in North Dakota, the country's largest durum producing state, durum seeded area will fall an estimated 18 percent to 1.1 million acres.
"Producers look for a significant price premium at planting time," Olson said, "and they do not see that right now with durum."
When USDA released its first winter wheat Crop Progress report of the spring on April 1, the percentage of all winter wheat rated good to excellent improved by 1 percent to 34 percent.
Most wheat growing regions, including a big portion of the drought-stricken plains states, received good moisture in February and March that improved growing conditions.
However, the percentage of the crop, mostly HRW, rated poor or very poor also increased 4 percent. Thirty percent of the crop is now rated poor or very poor.
Last year at this time, 58 percent of the crop was rated good or excellent while just 12 percent was rated poor to very poor. Winter wheat areas will need additional, timely rain in the next couple months to maintain or improve crop conditions.
The Prospective Plantings report is only an early indication of what the crop year could bring. It is good for buyers to remember that even in years when seeding conditions are not favorable, the United States is capable of producing average or above-average wheat crops.
U.S. wheat farmers have once again done their professional and optimistic best to produce an abundant, high-quality crop. From now until harvest, it is Mother Nature's turn.

The "Five of Diamond's" theory
On the scout board, there is an interesting discussion of Diamond's apparent statement that he will "shock the world" tomorrow. Is it bad news or is it a reference to the Fab Five (offensive line commitments at UM, if he comes).
I call this the "Five of Diamond's" theory (ie the theory that Diamond was referrring to the (Fab) FIve when he said he would shock the world.). And if he picks UM, I will give him Michelin's FIve Diamonds award.
"Sam Webb interviewed Hoke yesterday at the WTKA Signing Day Extravaganza. And Webb asked Hoke about the possibility of landing any more kids. Hoke replied something like "a Texas sized piece and an Alaska sized piece". To me that says he means two large players. So obviously the staff is holding out hope for landing either or both of these kids.
Unfortunately I'm starting to get a feeling we land neither. Think I read on ******* last night that Jordan Diamond tweeted he's going to shock the world. Well going to Michigan will not shock anybody. So it would have to be a team people hardly expected him to go to. So that puts Auburn,Wisconsin and who knows? maybe even something crazy like OHIO. "
"Could it be that Diamond is referencing the fab five when Juwan Howard said they were gonna "shock the world"? He was also another Chicago boy. Diamond is going blue and Kozan is going Auburn... Book it."
"I hope that's what he meant."
" A poster on the r*ivals board also takes the statement as a reference to the "Fab FIve" and believes that it is not only a good omen for UM. As a member of a school that competes with UM, he regrets that it is now a foregone conclusion that Diamond will pick UM."
michigan.******.comr/showmsg.asp?fid=39& ; ; ; mid=152756863&sid=883&tid=152756863&st yle=1
"I thought something similar.... But he has kept things so close to the vest it is hard to really get a feel."
"I think you're spot on here"
"He has been coy. But he also said at the beginning he was going to go thru the process. He took all his officials and yet he has been to UM like 6 times. I think this is a kid who was always going blue, yet he wanted to enjoy the trips plus get some exposure for his boys at Simeon High."

Kaymer, Schwartzel to play Malaysia Open January 11 2012
Martin Kaymer and Charl Schwartzel have been confirmed as contestants for the Maybank Malaysian Open at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club on April 12-15. The tournament, won last year by Italian rising star Matteo Manassero, is jointly-sanctioned by the European and Asian Tours, and has a $2.5m prize fund. The presence of these two gallery favorite major winners has added some real kudos for this old tournament which is being played for the 51st time. Unfortunately there are rumours that the the high ranking pair have negotiated appearance money. Maybank chairman Megat Zaharuddin Megat Mohamad Nor declined to mention the existence of any appearance money involved in persuading both high profile players to feature at the event. The controversial subject of appearance money has been churning out debates of whether players should accept the hefty sums of money just to appear at the event regardless of whether they make the halfway cut or not. Sometimes appearance money surpasses the actual winner's prize cheque, rendering severe blow to the credibility of the event.

Many of the best stories can be defined by the power of their conclusions. In ending, they tell us something definitive about the characters that we have invested so much of our time on. These stories attempt to validate our investment by cashing out in some memorable fashion, which will allow them to reverberate and be retold countless times. Even though (after tonight) we're still 15 hours away from any such conclusion with Walter White, there's still a tangible feeling of imminent completion surrounding the season premiere of Breaking Bad.
Creator Vince Gilligan – who also wrote the premiere – gets the games going early by utilizing a familiar break in chronology as a means to set up the episode. This was previously used to great effect with black and white glimpses of a stuffed animal floating in a pool. Only after we had all the information did the pieces fit together. Revealing the mangled toy to be from a catastrophic aviation accident tangentially tied to Walt (Bryan Cranston) and his handling of Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) and his new drug-addled girlfriend. The effect was engrossing on its own, but also served as a payoff for those who had tuned in week after week to watch Walt's downward spiral.
Now, ushering in season 5, Gilligan offers us a glimpse of what we can only assume is nearly the end of the road. 'Live Free or Die' revels in offering just enough illumination on the mysterious circumstances to spark what will certainly be countless theories leading to the how and why. An unshorn Walt, complete with beard and thick-rimmed glasses, sits alone in a Denny's restaurant, playing with his food by arranging pieces of bacon into the shape of a fifty-two – the age he has turned on this day. He's there to meet up with Lawson (Jim Beaver, Supernatural), the weapons dealer, and purchase a rather large machine gun nestled in the trunk of a car, which Lawson also provided.
The brief scene is telling in many ways, but only telling enough to raise many more questions. For those keeping score, Breaking Bad began on Walter White's 50th birthday – so this is, in a way, Gilligan illustrating to his audience just how far Walt has traveled and in what amount of time. More clues come while Walt is making the purchase from Lawson in the men's restroom. Lawson demands the artillery not cross the border, to which Walt replies it's not even going to leave town – meaning someone is likely about to be on the receiving end of the machine gun. After Lawson wishes him good luck and leaves, Walt dry swallows a prescription pill of some kind, which will undoubtedly leave viewers questioning whether or not his cancer has come back.
Finally, as he's exiting the restaurant, leaving a $100 bill under his untouched plate, the waitress addresses Walt as Mr. Lambert – the maiden name of his wife, Skyler (Anna Gunn). In addition to everything the audience is asked to take in, Walt's choice of alias presents a whole slew of questions on its own. Again, Gilligan should be commended for the precision of his approach: it's purposeful and direct without giving everything away.
While 'Live Free or Die' excels in teasing the audience with the season's larger, more ambiguous direction, the episode also handles the fallout of season 4 with a deftness that makes it seem as though Gustavo 'Gus' Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) exited the series just last week. Walt's conversation with Walt Jr. (RJ Mitte) – in the scene released prior to the season premiere – manages to somehow resurrect the intensity of 'Face Off' without resorting to any kind of hokey mid-scene flashback reminding the viewer just how dire the circumstances were. Instead, it simply offers the season 4 phone call between Walt and Skyler as a sort of abridged version of the events that occurred beforehand.
Even with the intensity of last season's finale fresh on everyone's mind, Cranston manages – in his own skillful manner – to clearly define the tonal shift in Walt, now that he's moved into the post-Gustavo world. Gone is the frightened, desperate man who detonated a bomb in a nursing home and poisoned a small child to regain the trust of his partner. In his place, Cranston has breathed new life into the kind of fierce Walter who sought to defend his territory against would-be cookers in a parking lot.
That same bravado is on display throughout the present-day scenes. Walter White is on the top of the world, but he's finding it a very lonely place. Walt Jr. is enamored with his uncle Hank (Dean Norris), and Skyler readily admits she's now frightened of the man her husband has become. In fact, when he's at home, Walt's forced to toast himself in the mirror and enjoy a congratulatory drink by his lonesome. Perhaps that is why, even when facing down the gun of an angry Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks), he doesn't even flinch. Despite Mike's eagerness to kill him – and with Jesse professing his allegiance – it's only in that company that Walt feels he's truly amongst people who understand him.
The marketing campaign of "All Hail the King" is incredibly accurate. Walter White has in fact ascended to the throne. He displays the kind of self-assuredness that comes when one believes he is truly predestined to the role he's taken.
When Walt orchestrates the destruction of Gus' laptop by buying a giant magnet from Old Joe (Larry Hankin) and using it through the wall of a police evidence room, Mike asks if he's supposed to accept that the mission was a success on faith. Walt simply tells him it worked because he says it did. It's the kind of answer one gives to a pestering child, or a person one deems to be beneath them – as the ruling class might look upon the peasants who do their bidding. A thing is because the king says it is.
However, it's not until the episode's end that Walt truly understands, or perhaps accepts, his place in the new power structure he's created. And what an embrace it is. After assuring (read: threatening) Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) that his lawyerly work will still be required under this new regime, Walt comes home to Skyler, making her aware that he's been completely briefed on the Ted Beneke (Christopher Cousins) situation. With fearsome deliberation, Walt holds his wife close and tells her she is forgiven.
As things stand, in the world of Breaking Bad, the power to forgive or condemn, kill or set free belongs to one man. For the time being at least, Walter White finds himself wearing the crown.
In many ways, Gilligan's cryptic declaration that things will change heightens the significance of Walter's shifting demeanor. By hinting at the transitory nature of power – and of course its corruptive properties – Gilligan has seemingly brought a core element of his program full circle, stating: everything in life, including life itself, is fleeting. Best grab what you can before it comes time to check out.

Serial polluter Orica has been warned not to cause more damage to the NSW environment after being slapped with a record fine.
The chemical giant was on Monday fined just over three quarters of a million dollars for seven "pollution incidents" between October 2010 and December 2011, mostly from its Kooragang Island manufacturing plant in Newcastle's north.
Chromium 6 or hexavalent chromium, a toxic substance, was released into the atmosphere through steam from the Kooragang plant in Stockton.
The NSW Land and Environment court dished out the largest financial penalty in its history - $768,250 - because of the fear and distress the incidents at Stockton caused the public.
NSW Premier Mike Baird praised the court for imposing the "significant" penalty.
"We are not going tolerate anyone that imposes that sort of environmental risks and doesn't contain them," he told reporters.
"From my point of view they need to continue to be vigilant. They better make sure they do."
The fine will be used to partly fund seven environmental projects in the Hunter Valley and Botany.
Orica's shabby record extends beyond NSW.
In November 2012, it was ordered by a Queensland Court to pay $432,000 towards turtle research and conservation, and water monitoring initiatives, in Gladstone Harbour after pleading guilty to releasing cyanide-contaminated effluent on 217 occasions between March and May 2011.
Orica says it will spend $200 million fixing and improving its Kooragang Island and Botany sites.
The company reported a half year profit of $242 million in March.

Crowdsourcing A Live Show Lets Fans Spread The Word About How Awesome You Are
from the neat-ideas dept
What happened next though was incredibly exciting. A bunch of superfans in Folkestone decided that they were going to make it happen. As one fan said, "Most bands don't come to this part of Kent, they tend to stop at London." They got super proactive and started to email all their friends and even petitioned the local radio station and newspaper. It exploded and went completely viral in a matter of hours through fan to fan word of mouth marketing, Hot Chip sold out. Check out the sales curve of pledges for the show, the huge viral spike is when fans started to self-organise.
Some interesting things we learned:In other words, such a platform isn't just about fans getting an act to show up somewhere, but also about getting fans to spread the word, to evangelize and to help build the fanbase much bigger. One thing we've definitely noticed about successful crowdsourcing campaigns is that they tend to create a sense of "ownership," which means that supporters have incentive to get their friends to support things too, which is a different form of "viral" marketing. Songkick notes, also, how far fans will go to support acts they like:
- 70% of the people who pledged had never seen Hot Chip before. Detour is really creating new fan to artist connections.
- 66% of the attendees found out about the show through their friends (The rest from Songkick and Hot Chip)
- 1 (amazing) fan emailed over 2000 people they knew to try and spread the word.
I think the thing that really blew me away was the level of self-organisation amongst fans. In a world where half the music industry is still focused on complaining about file sharing, people often forget that fan is short for fanatic. Hot Chip's fans are incredibly passionate about them and figured out a way to self-organise to make this show happenNow, there is one caveat that Songkick doesn't mention that could be worth exploring as well. While it is great for those in and around Folkestone, does it upset those in Stoke or in York who are fans, but who didn't "win?" It seems possible, though hopefully they went into this understanding that was a possibility. Either way, we see that doing these kinds of things isn't just about pleasing existing fans, but finding more fans as well.

Post subject: Cutting board cleaning.
I have a heavy duty Butcher's cutting board we got for wedding present I dearly love, but I'm wondering about cleaning it, it already has stains of colors from fruits and veggies that were cut on it........
I clean usually with regular dishwashing liquid and scrubpad/cloth, then I usually put on some mineral oil afterwords......if I can't get the stains out I can live with that, but i do wonder given the porous nature of wood, if where there are stains, there can be bacteria........this is a BIG BIG block no way I can get it in the sink.

If you're cleaning it as you say, it's not bacteria. Myself and my family have been using wood cutting boards since the early 1940s. It's 2006 and so far, no guest or family member has ever had food poisoning from our kitchens. Don't believe the hype about how dirty & dangerous wood cutting boards are, it's bull poop.
Also keep in mind wood is a natural product. It's going to change color over the years and get some 'staining'.
If you can't live with the discoloring of your beloved wood, you need to find a vibrating finishing sander. They're those little square sanders that vibrate all over the place. If you don't have one someone you know has one, borrow it. Then buy a few sheets of 60 or 80 grit, 120 and 220 grit paper for it.
You can try sanding it clean with the 120 first. If that doesn't do enough, step down to the 60 or 80 grit. Sand and make nice all surfaces, edges as well. Finish up with the 220 to make glass smooth. Wash with warm sudsy water to remove sanding dust. Let thoroughly dry.
Oil as you normally do. It should look new or close to new.
Clean as you have, it's safe.

If the cutting board is small enough to go in a sink, it will also probably help to wash it down with water in which you have put a small amount of household bleach. Try about 2 tablespoons in a quart of water. This both lightens stains and sanitises. Rinse VERY thoroughly. Once you have the board clean, oil it; oiling helps keep stains from penetrating into the wood. Use mineral oil from the drugstore for this; it's safe for human ingestion. Other oils, like furniture polish and lemon oil, contain petroleum distillates, not good for ingestion. Wipe a heavy coat of mineral oil onto your board, and let it soak in. Repeat if the board soaks it all up. If necessary, repeat again.
If you have your board well-saturated with mineral oil, other fats and meat juices are not able to soak into the board, because the mineral oil is already in the little voids between the cells of the wood. Mineral oil is cheap, safe, and easy to find. P.S.- periodic sanding of any wood board is a good idea, to renew the surface, but go easy.
Hope this helps.

Post subject: Cleaning Cutting Boards
I clean plastic cutting boards with isopropyl alcohol. It removes grease, and evaporates quickly leaving nothing behind. I suspect it will kill any bacteria.
I also clean granite counters with isopropyl.
I once had an entire meal ruined because we had left soap on a cutting board, it does little to the flavor of steak.

Disinfectants available for home use won't kill all bacteria and viruses, but they will kill the ones you would be concerned about in your home. The truth is, a 70% ethyl alcohol solution (7 parts ethyl alcohol and 3 parts water is a much better surface disinfectant than the 70% isopropyl alcohol sold in drug stores. You can make it with denatured alcohol from a hardware store. The 70% solution is a medically accepted surface disinfectant. On a plastic cutting board, just apply it, let it stay wet and wipe it off 5 minutes later and rinse. On wood boards a 10% bleach solution (one part clorox to nine parts water) for a few minutes and then blot dry and then rinse it off with a wet paper towel and blot dry, will also do the trick. Don't worry about the chlorine, it dissipates when it dries.

Wood cutting boards have some natural antibacteral properties, so after you've washed with soap and water, there is a good chance whatever bacteria is left in the grooves won't survive in the wood after you dry it.
With plastic boards, it's a little different... The plastic can actually trap the bacteria in the grooves which will be hard to get rid of in a heavily used board. Once a plastic board gets to the point where you can no longer remove the stains, it's probably time to replace it to be safe.

I can't trust that link, they claim the only con of glass boards is that they break, when really, you should NEVER use a glass cutting board. It will ruin your knives.
I've used or eaten from food prepared on both wooden and plastic cutting boards all my life and I've never gotten sick.
Personally, I like using wood cutting boards for produce and plastic for meats.

Some stains can be removed using hydrogen peroxide. Apply to a cloth or towel and blot the stain. Some, it not all, will be removed but it takes time. Just keep the board clean and oiled which will help to repel stains.

Just wanted to say Hi. I've commissioned you to do the Japanese butcher board, based table, outside of this forum. Glad we bumped into each other here.
I found you on the Japanese chef's knife sharpening site.

Go Fish, Go Figure
It's surprising how much fun it is to sit around playing cards. It seems to me the quintessential vacation activity in that it doesn't serve a purpose. It's not productive in the same way that a bike ride or a swim in the pool is productive; in those instances, you can justify the activity by saying that it's exercise. Cards, on the other hand, are frivolous. Or so I thought, before my brother, aunt, and I dove into Go Fish.
"Willie, do you have any … threes?" I ask.
"No, I don't have any threes, Caroline! Go fish!" he says, with a big smile.
Now it's Willie's turn. "Aunt Kathy, do you have any … jacks?" he asks.
Our aunt takes pause, and so do I. Four jacks are already on the table, so Willie can't possibly have one. I glance over at his hand; sure enough, there's nary a jack in sight. (One of Willie's weaknesses as a card player is that he can't resist tipping his hand out for the world to see. Since I'm sitting next to him, I see every card.)
"Willie … do you have any jacks?" I ask, testing to see whether or not he'll tell the truth.
"No," he says, with a burst of of bubbling laughter. When I detect a gleam in his eye, the facts add up: Willie's playing us. My brother is very clever, and it's sometimes hard to know how much he knows. It's not always easy to discern whether or not he grasps the rules of the game … or if he does know, but is choosing to ignore them for fun. Willie has been known to come downstairs with his shirt on backwards and inside out, and his shoes on the wrong feet. When one of us notices and says, "Willie! That shirt is on inside out," he cracks up laughing. He's perfectly capable of dressing himself, but the trickster in him loves to play pranks. Clearly, this is someone capable of cheating at cards.
Yet it's also possible that he's pretending to break the rules, when in reality, he doesn't know them. My brother and I are alike in this way. When we have no idea what we're doing, we're tempted to save face and act like we were purposefully making a mistake rather than admit our ignorance.
I decide to explain the rules, just in case he really doesn't know them. "Willie my dear, if you ask someone else for a card, you need to have that card already in your hand. So, if you don't have any jacks, you can't ask another person to give you a jack. If you do have jacks, then you can ask someone else for more jacks. Okay?"
"Okay," he says, grinning. He's still giddy from his trick.
And as I hear myself explaining Go Fish to my brother, I think: Wow. The way this game works is actually pretty profound. You can't offer what you don't have to give. And it's okay to say no; moreover, it's necessary. Honesty is the important thing. Without honesty, the game doesn't work at all.
As we continue, I notice that this simple game—with its bedrock of honesty—makes me feel simultaneously uncomfortable and liberated. It's strange for me, a people-pleaser, to say no to my loved ones so many times in a row. It's bizarre to realize that, in most cases, I can't give them what they're asking for. And yet it's also tremendously freeing, because when I say no … nothing bad happens! No one gets mad. No one gets hurt. The game carries on. When I say that I don't have a card, the people I love go straight to a different resource—the community pile. I don't have to save the day. I can just be here with my family, offering what I do have to give.
In the end, both Willie and I have four sets of four cards. When I realize we've tied for the win, I exclaim, "It's a sibling sweep!" I hold up my hand for a high-five, and Willie slaps it, gently grazing my palm.

Fog, The (UK - BD RA/B)
Scott McKenzie takes a look at the BD of this 1980 movie from John Carpenter...
Antonio Bay is a small town in California that is about to reach its one hundredth anniversary. However, as the preparations for the festivities begin, strange things start to happen. A thick fog moves through the town and when people start to die the residents realise that the fog is bringing them more than just bad weather. Father Malone begins to piece together the reason for the ghostly apparitions, but can he help to save the town from the massacre that is unfolding?
I always find The Fog to be a real mixed bag whenever I watch it. To a certain degree, you get what you expect from a John Carpenter movie: a haunting score, a group of people banding together to fight an evil menace, plenty of scares and a general foreboding atmosphere throughout the movie. Carpenter's score in particular helps to create the atmosphere, with a long cold opening credits sequence where we are introduced to the residents of the town and the strange goings on that are only going to get worse.
If you start to ask questions while you're watching The Fog, it doesn't take long for some problems to arise. For a start, some of the scares are pretty cheap, in particular the appearance of Father Malone from the shadows for no apparent reason other than to scare the hell out of Janet Leigh's character. Even though the bad guys are tooled up with hooks and swords, there is very little blood on screen when people are stabbed or slashed, which is rather odd since this was filmed as a low budget horror movie.
The structure of the action is very strange. The Fog is an ensemble movie, but some of the characters never meet each other so it lacks a sense of closure within the group by the end. Adrienne Barbeau plays a DJ that haunts the airwaves with her music and you would think she would play an important role, but she doesn't get to do much at all and her showdown with the bad guys was only added in during re-shoots. In fact, a lot of the action in The Fog was added in when Carpenter and the studio realised that the first cut was neither long enough nor scary enough.
The Fog is still just under an hour and a half long and for once, I have to say I would have preferred it to be longer. A decent amount of time is spent introducing us to the characters early on and with so many different story threads, I wanted to see more of everyone. This made me think the story may have worked as a longer TV movie, but following the recent remake it's doubtful this would ever be an option. The opening quote from Edgar Allen Poe adds a touch of class to the proceedings, but by the end it just leaves the viewer wondering if what they've watched was all a dream.
The video quality of this 1080p presentation is as much of a mixed bag as the movie itself. The opening Studio Canal logo looks great, which only serves to highlight the problems early on when we get into the movie. As we've come to expect from movies this old, there's a bit of wobble on the opening titles and it's clear that dark grey will equate to what is supposed to be black throughout the movie. It looks like some sections of film (mainly those without any visual effects) have survived the last twenty-eight years in better condition than others. Some shots are bright (red is a colour that looks particularly good here) and rich in detail, but the movie will then cut to an incredibly grainy shot of fog moving through the town. The picture also flickers from time to time, which doesn't necessarily detract from the viewing experience in the early camp fire scene but does disappoint for the remaining eighty minutes of a presentation that's supposed to be the highest quality available.
There are two audio options available through the menus: 5.1 and 5.1 with subtitles. That's right—the audio options menu is really the subtitles menu. After doing a bit of Googling on the subject, it appears that the audio track is the 5.1 Master Audio that came with the HD DVD, since this is almost certainly a BD port of that disc. There have been reports that there is a pitch problem with this soundtrack, with the audio 4% higher than it should be due to it being an old NTSC to PAL conversion, but I didn't notice any problems here. That doesn't mean The Fog is particularly enjoyable to listen to though. The quality is generally fuzzy, with dialogue, effects and John Carpenter's music lacking clarity. I couldn't detect significant use of directional sound through the surround channels either, which leads me to believe there's as much of a remastering job still to be done on the audio side as there is on the picture.
No extras at all here I'm afraid, apart from a couple of audio and video configuration options, which don't count in my book.
The Fog is an odd film—an ensemble movie with a great atmosphere, but one that never really delivers on the promise of a second classic horror movie in a row from the creator of Halloween. I like to think of this as John Carpenter honing his skills for the significantly superior Escape from New York and The Thing. Unfortunately the movie neither looks or sounds very good on this high definition release and the lack of any extra features at all make this a release that is very difficult to recommend, especially to Carpenter fans who already own the feature-packed DVD special edition.

I liked Carpenter's early work all except "Dark Star". It's his later work that just sucks so bad. I also cannot forgive him for the go ahead for the 2005 remake to "The Fog". Talk about something that sucks & blows at the same time.
THEE most underrated director of our time.
I <3 me some John Carpenter

As far as I'm concerned, Carpenter stopped making films after In the Mouth. Having said that, Vampires is a guilty pleasure (too many reruns on the Sci-Fi Channel broke down my resistance). Give me They Live, Big Trouble and The Thing any day of the week. In fact, from '74 to '95 he only made two films I'm not that keen on.
Was considering importing this one, but I'll just wait for the inevitable RA release from Fox.

Oh come, Chris...you actually like Ghost of Mars, Village of the Damned and Vampires better than this?

The Fog (IMO) is an AWESOME movie! it's in my top 5 of all time!
This is the worst Carpenter film I've ever seen. I even prefer Prince of Darkness. It's just not scary, which is a bit of a problem for a horror film.
The pitch issue is one that affected Studio Canal HD DVD releases, of which this is a port. There's a lot more info out there if you want to Google it.

"The Fog" and "Christine" are my two favorite Carpenter movies.
I ummed and aahed between a 5 and a 6 for this one but the more I read through my notes and thought about the movie when I was writing it up, the bad points outweighed the good.
There shouldn't be any pitch issues with Blu-discs, should there? It's not a PAL stream, right?
Anyway, Scott, I'm with you on this one, Fog and Christine have always been pretty low on my Carpenter list, though I'd call it just above average with a 6/10.

The Tree Action Plan is a 20-year strategy for conservation and management of the county's tree resources. The Tree Action Plan was developed using a collaborative process that involved the Tree Commission, county staff, residents and builders. In June of 2007, the board of supervisors formally adopted a 30-year tree canopy goal based on the recommendations in the Tree Action Plan. The goal is to increase Fairfax County's tree cover to 45% by the year 2037. For more information, see the Tree Action Plan or contact the Urban Forest Management Division at 703-324-1770, TTY 711 or by e-mail.
As recommended in the Tree Action Plan, the Board of Supervisors initiated a countywide tree planting program to improve our air and water quality, and to achieve objectives of the board's environmental agenda. To support the tree planting program, the board established the Tree Preservation and Planting Fund as a mechanism to administer tree-related donations and funding identified in the annual Environmental Improvement Program. Nonprofit organizations, county agencies and regional governmental agencies may request funding for tree-related projects using the Tree Preservation and Planting Fund Disbursement Procedure.
Tree Action Plan Goals
- Commit to conserve current tree assets.
- Enhance the legacy for future generations.
- Increase the effectiveness of urban forestry with planning and policymaking.
Tree Action Plan Core Recommendations
- Engage and educate.
- Build strong partnerships and alliances.
- Optimize tree conservation in county policies.
- Improve air quality and address climate change through tree conservation.
- Improve water quality and stormwater management through tree conservation.
- Use ecosystem management to improve and sustain the health and diversity of our urban forest.
- Strengthen state-enabling authority for tree conservation.
- Encourage sustainable design practices.
- Plant and protect trees by streams, streets and trails.
- Optimize tree conservation in land development.
- Optimize tree conservation in utility and public facilities projects.
- Support and refine the county's urban forestry programs.
Long Term Threats to the Health of our Forest
- Native forest tracts preserved after land development need managing in order to survive and provide maximum benefits.
- Zoning required landscaping is maturing and needs proactive management.
- Screening and parking lot landscaping ordinances need updating.
- Additional tree cover will be lost due to infill and redevelopment.
- Effects of urbanized environment on trees.
- Introduction and damage caused by exotic forest pests, such as emerald ash borer and Asian longhorned beetle.
- Expansion of public roads, highways and other transportation corridors.
- Continual fragmentation of forested tracts to facilitate installation, expansion and maintenance of utilities and other infrastructure.
- Development and expansion of governmental facilities.
- Development and expansion of active recreational facilities such as athletic fields.
- Tree removal in residential areas brought about by differing cultural values.
- Continual introduction and proliferation of invasive plant species.
- Degradation of native forests by unmanaged deer populations.
- Disposal of yard debris and household chemicals.
- Turfgrass expansion, forest understory clearing and other human-related impacts.
- Impacts of climate change on tree species and other organisms that inhabit forest ecosystems.

FARMVILLE, Va. — The Washington and Lee baseball team scored 14 runs in a doubleheader split at Hampden-Sydney on Saturday. The Generals (14-9, 7-7 ODAC) took an early lead and held on for a 6-5 victory in the opener. In game two, W&L scored six combined runs in the final two innings, but the Tigers (23-12, 7-9 ODAC) stifled the rally for a 9-8 win.
The Blue and White jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning of game one. Senior center fielder Keegan Dolan (Bethesda, Md./Landon) scored on a wild pitch, and then sophomore right fielder Luke Myer (Durham, N.C./Durham Academy) plated first-year third baseman Colton Campbell (Deatsville, Ala./Holtville) on a sacrifice fly.
H-SC tied the game, after scoring one run in the first and the third, but the Generals responded with two more in the fourth. With one out and runners at second and third, junior second baseman Nick Biumi (Cummings, Ga./Lambert) hit a two-run single to give W&L a 4-2 lead.
The Tigers trimmed the gap to one, 4-3, on a RBI triple by senior third baseman Hunter Lewis in the bottom of the third, but senior designated hitter Kyle Witty (Richmond, Va./Douglas Freeman) stretched the advantage back to two (5-3) on a sacrifice fly in the fifth.
Each team scored in their next at bats, but junior Cory Smith (Roanoke, Va./Hidden Valley) gave up one run in the final four innings to close out the 6-5 win for the Generals.
Senior Jake Rudolph (Cordova, Tenn./Memphis University School) started the game for W&L and earned his fourth win of the season (4-2). He went 5.0 innings, giving up four earned runs on eight hits. It marked the 54th career appearance for Rudolph, which tied the W&L record held by Peter Dean '04.
In his 4.0 innings, Smith allowed just two hits and one run on his way to his fourth save of the season. The four saves are tied for the third most in a single-season by a W&L pitcher. Smith now has five in his career, which is tied for third in program history.
First-year Trevor Otley (5-1) suffered his first loss of the season, pitching 4.1 innings. He gave up five runs (four earned) on nine hits with six strikeouts.
In game two, the Tigers scored the game's first six runs and held a 9-2 advantage after four innings. Trailing by seven in the top of the eighth, first-year catcher Cory Paton (Ashton, Md./St. Johns College) and Biumi each singled to open the frame. Dolan followed with a RBI single to score Biumi and then junior left fielder Drew Weprinsky (Atlanta, Ga./Westminster) brought the Generals within five (9-4) on a one-run single.
After a single by junior shortstop Taylor Rowe (Charlotte, N.C./Myers Park) loaded the bases, Myer brought home Dolan (9-5) on a sacrifice fly. Following a lineout, Witty and first-year third baseman Ryan Weston (Rolling Hills Estates, Calif./Palos Verdes Peninsula) each registered RBI singles to close the gap to 9-7. Paton ended the rally with a flyout to left.
The Generals had one last chance in the ninth, climbing to within one on a sacrifice fly by Weprinsky, but a line out by Rowe ended the game.
Lewis earned the victory for Hampden-Sydney to improve to 7-2. He gave up seven runs on 12 hits, while striking out five. Senior Aaron Stidham pitched the final 1.1 innings to record his third save of the year.
Sophomore Kyle Tipping (Green Lane, Pa./The Hill School) took the loss to fall to 3-3. He failed to register an out in the first inning, giving up four runs (three earned) on two hits and two walks.
Dolan finished the doubleheader 6-for-10 with four runs and one RBI. Rowe went 4-for-10 with two runs and one RBI.
The Generals return to action on Tuesday when they host Shenandoah for a doubleheader starting at 2:00 pm.

Here's a link to an "Affordable Housing Database" in your general area: http://findhousing.utah.gov/listings.do
The previous page mentioned that many of the rents are on a sliding scale -- rent to income.
Don't just presume that all rent-to-income housing is shit.... I lived in a rent-to-income house for 16 years. It was a blessing and a joy for the most part, allowing me a freedom I wouldn't otherwise have had when the kids were small. Once the crisis was over, I stayed because I wanted to...... becoming VP and Head of the Selection committee for a good chunk of that time. We had a nice little community going.
The important thing is to get on those lists pronto. You can always refuse, but at least you'll have options.
If you do want to fill out any applications, Please PM me. I know what catches their eye, and can help you fill them out effectively.
Seems to me all you need for Paypal is a bank account. The process takes a few days tho, as Paypal "pings" your account with a tiny deposit to make sure its yours.
Do take AntiM up on her offer for a notebook tho.... it seems a perfect stopgap before getting settled.
We've got to get you settled!!!
I will look into that Delle. Thanks. Your link looks like a different way into the same agencies that I found. Except that there were no listings or database. And when I called them there was only a 2 year waiting list. Can't remember what search parameters I used.

Aby Rosen is itching to get back in the buying game with what could be a $350 million splash.
The German-born — but Americanized — art and landmark-building collector and his co-founder in RFR Realty, Michael Fuchs, are targeting the recently renovated 350 Madison Ave., sources said.
The 394,000 square-foot building is being marketed by Jones Lang LaSalle's Fearless Foursome — Richard Baxter, Ron Cohen, Scott Latham and Jon Caplan — on behalf of the Nabil and Fouad Chartouni's Kensico Properties. The brokers did not return calls or e-mails for comment, but the pricing of $888 a square foot would put the deal on the high side of their estimates.
The brothers Chartouni bought it in 2005 for $194.5 million from Monday Properties and the Landis Group.
The Chartounis have since glassed up the old brick façade and lobby with a thoroughly modern vision designed by Moed de Armas & Shannon that also received a 12-year city property-tax renovation exemption.
But the ongoing renovation work kept the office space at just 70 percent occupancy, placing its mortgage on financial-watch lists, while providing potential upside for the next owners. The building's retail tenant, Paul Stuart, has controlled that space under a long-term lease since 1965.
Rosen and Fuchs already own gems like 17 State St., Lever House and the Seagram Building, and invest in large public artworks. Rosen did not return a call for comment. Stay tuned.
LivePerson will double its space with a new eight-year, 18,500 square-foot expansion to occupy the third floor of 475 Tenth Ave.
The asking rent was $35 per square foot.
They already occupy 18,500 square feet on the fifth floor in a lease signed in 2010.
The third floor had been rented to Gwathmey Siegel & Associates Architects, which has already moved to 525 Broadway.
Michael Kaufman and Grant Greenspan of the Kaufman Organization represented LivePerson, while Kristin Fisher of the Adler Group represented the building owners in the transaction.

Infrared anniversary
This week saw the ninth anniversary of the launch of ESA's Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) mission.
ISO was launched on 17 November 1995 by an Ariane 44P launcher from Europe's spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.
Probing the cool and hidden Universe, ISO was the most sensitive infrared satellite ever launched. It made particularly important studies of the dusty regions of the Universe, where visible light telescopes can see nothing.
The wealth of data collected by ISO still produces important science results.
Infrared radiation is primarily 'heat', or thermal radiation. Even objects that we think of as being very cold, such as an ice cube, emit infrared radiation.
Observing astronomical objects in the infrared means that we can see much more than we can with optical telescopes.
Europe's first venue into infrared astronomy had been the US–Dutch–British IRAS satellite launched in 1983. This mission mapped 250 000 cosmic infrared sources and large areas of extended emission.
The IRAS mission was so successful that, once it was over, ESA decided that it was important to continue observing in the infrared. The ISO project was started by ESA under its Horizon 2000 science programme.
ISO provided astronomers with a unique facility to see both familiar objects in an unusual way and objects that are invisible at other wavelengths. Its detectors, with an enhanced sensitivity and resolution, allowed a much closer and more detailed perception of the 'infrared scenery'.
The scientific instruments were provided separately by a group of eleven European countries. The United States and Japan co-operated on ground support operations in return for average daily observing time of half an hour each.
Observing the cool Universe requires cooled instruments which can work at temperatures close to absolute zero, –273°C.
Keeping the temperature this low was the task of the large liquid-helium cryostat on board ISO, filled before launch with 2286 litres of superfluid helium.
This cryostat made ISO one of the coldest objects in the Universe. ISO's lifetime was limited by its helium supply, so nearly all observations had to stop when this coolant liquid was depleted on 8 April 1998.
Initially ISO was supposed to be operational for 18 months, but thanks to meticulous engineering and some good fortune, the satellite's working life was stretched to more than 28 months until May 1998.
Just before ISO was switched off on 16 May 1998, its orbit was changed to force the satellite to burn up in the atmosphere, contributing to preserving the environment in space.
However, ISO continued to give scientific surprises to the very end. ISO's 'last-light' observation - taken with the SWS instrument just before midnight on 10 May - was of emission lines from hydrogen in the hot 'supergiant' star Eta Canis Majoris.

Afibel Customer Story
Afibel was founded in 1954 in Villeneuve d'Ascq, France. It specializes in mail order sales of apparel for women over the age of 50. Today, Afibel has more than 1.5 million active clients in France, the United Kingdom and Belgium, now offering women's clothing, menswear, items for the home, and well-being products.
Excellent customer service is crucial to maintaining sales especially in the retail industry. The IT Department needed a document management solution that would integrate with its in-house, developed business application and provide each customer service representative with a complete view of all client interaction histories (mail, calls, emails). Some key considerations were:
- Afibel clients, aged over 50, communicate by mail in 95% of cases (order form, check, question, claim, etc.).
- The correspondence team was using 4,000 response templates stored in a file directory and managed with MS Word macros.
- A business application (developed with Oracle Application Express) handled customer contact details, ordering, catalogue mailings, etc.
- The business application did not have access to customer letters, leaving the representative with no information when clients called regarding their letters.
- The file server used to store 300,000 letters per year was ill suited to manage the volume of documents. The correspondence team was wasting considerable time manually sorting and searching the correspondence.
The various document management solutions examined by Afibel either did not include the desired features or could not easily be integrated with its business application. But after attending an Alfresco presentation by their partner, ALFEA Consulting, Frédéric Vast, IT Manager at Afibel, says, "I thought to myself 'That's it. I have found my solution!'"
Afibel's IT Department prefers to suggest rather than impose solutions on other departments. Mr. Vast therefore asked ALFEA to present Alfresco to the head of the Customer Service Department, who validated that he had found the right tool to solve their business problem.
First, the Alfresco One server was installed and hosted on Afibel's servers. It is synchronized with SSO and AD, and its database is on a dedicated server with cluster. Alfresco was then integrated with Afibel's business application via web services. Finally, ALFEA built the highly anticipated multichannel view of client contact history (paper, telephone, email) with web scripts. MS Word was integrated with Alfresco Share and the 4,000 existing letter templates were streamlined down to 1,500. Contingencies for service continuity are handled through Afibel's internal architecture.
Incoming mail is now scanned and then indexed by Alfresco in client folders. A dynamic checklist on the CMA dashboard ("Correspondence Management for Alfresco" developed by ALFEA Consulting) displays a list of required actions. With just one click, the correspondence team can select mail that needs a response. The metadata is retrieved from the business application (name, address, client number, order number, etc.) and added by Alfresco to the chosen template.
Mr. Vast says, "We went into great detail with template personalization by using numerous variables such as brand, call number or country language. We wanted letters to be as configurable as possible to take into account anything that may change tomorrow."
Supervisors can now validate sensitive mail with a workflow. Letters can be checked on screen, without the need to print them. Full-color letter printing on blank paper saves on the cost of letterhead. Printing is performed in batches.
Mail and phone call records are accessible by all in read-only mode via a web page that supports advanced searches. The teams also have editing rights for their own data. User interfaces are personalized by country and by brand.
The new system was first rolled out as a pilot in France. User feedback contributed to adjustments and helped ensure that the solution is scalable. Afibel's users may need to access up to a thousand folders simultaneously during peak activity. Filters now restrict the displayed data to only those relevant to the user.
Training needs remain simple because the correspondence team continues to use MS Word. Because the customer service personnel are experts in their field, not in IT, a lot of effort went into change management. Users, of course, develop certain habits over the years and can be reluctant to change, so it was important for them to understand the objectives and advantages of the new system. That challenge was successfully met, and users have taken full ownership of the project. The pilot participants have become champions and points of contact for other internal users.
It took ALFEA 80 days to install, configure and personalize Alfresco to Afibel's specifications. Mr. Vast views this as a relatively short time in light of the amount of work involved. He is delighted with the level of customer service he received from ALFEA and found them to be very attentive.
- The new multichannel view of customer interactions enhances customer relations and preserves sales
- Outbound mail production is faster and less expensive, with no need for a dedicated tool
- The system is scalable
- Users have taken full ownership of the new solution
Afibel plans to deploy Alfresco in the company's other locations (the UK launch will take place later in 2014). In addition, ALFEA has extended the use of Alfresco with a prototype for a recruitment management solution, including a workflow, for the HR Department. An invoice management project is also planned. Those two projects are scheduled for 2015.

Disney Responds to Latina Princess Sofia Outrage
When Disney first announced they were unveiling their first Latina princess named Sofia on November 18, Hispanic audiences immediately voiced their concerns.
While many celebrated the network's attempt to create a Latina royal who does not bear a stereotypical dark complexion, many used social media to express their outrage toward the news. Some insisted Sofia looks "too white" to actually be Latina, while others were angry toward Disney's decision not to emphasize Princess Sofia's Hispanic roots.
Now, Disney is responding to the backlash.
Friday night, Senior Vice President of Original Programming for Disney Junior Worldwide Nancy Kanter, as well as Co-Executive Producer/Writer Craig Gerber, took to Princess Sofia's Facebook profile to discuss the character's controversial roots.
"Princess Sofia is a mixed-heritage princess in a fairy-tale world," explained Gerber. "Her mother is originally from an enchanted kingdom inspired by Spain (Galdiz) and her birth father hailed from an enchanted kingdom inspired by Scandinavia. Sofia was born and raised in Enchancia, which is a make-believe 'melting pot' kingdom patterned on the British Isles. Sofia considers herself a normal Enchancian girl like any other. Her mixed heritage and blended family are a reflection of what many children today experience."
Fox News Latino previously reported that the Disney team could have drawn inspiration from real-life Queen Sofia of Spain, who bears similar light features as Princess Sofia. There has been speculation that Disney princesses, like The Little Mermaid and Pocahontas, could have been influenced by real-life women.
However, Kanter pointed out that Princess Sofia and her family are not inspired by actual royals.
"What's important to know is that Sofia is a fairytale girl who lives in a fairytale world. All our characters come from fantasy lands that may reflect elements of various cultures and ethnicities but none are meant to specifically represent those real world cultures," said Kanter. "The writers have wisely chosen to write stories that include elements that will be familiar and relatable to kids from many different backgrounds including Spain and Latin America."
Like Gerber, Kanter emphasized that while Sofia's mother comes from a fictitious land inspired by Spain, their kingdom "reflects the ethnically diverse world we live."
"It is not OUR world, it is a fairytale and storybook world that we hope will help spur a child's imagination," adds Kanter.
Previously, Joe D' Ambrosia, Vice President of Disney Junior original programming, told Entertainment Weekly that the network purposely chose not place emphasis on Sofia's ethnicity because every school can identify with the character.
According to Disney Junior, Sofia moves into an Enchancian castle after her mother, now Queen Miranda, marries King Roland II. Miranda met the king of Enchancia while he was buying a pair of slippers from her shoe shop. Throughout the series, Sofia must learn how to act like a royal, all while overcoming her stepsister Princess Amber's jealously and royal sorcerer Cedric's attempts to take over the kingdom.
Sofia the First: Once Upon a Princess is geared toward children ages 2-7.

The next version of the plugin will be released in the coming week. Final testing is being done as I am writing this. This is a relatively major release as we have changed the parser component to simplehtmldom. The new parser offers more features (main one is the ability to translate tooltips and hidden elements) while being 50% faster than the previous version. Simpler code also means it will be easier to add features and fix bugs in the future.
Feeling adventurous? You can try the latest code directly from our SVN repository or mail us to get an alpha release.

"A group of researchers has fabricated a single-atom transistor by introducing one phosphorous atom into a silicon lattice. Through the use of a scanning tunnelling microscope and hydrogen-resist lithography, Martin Fuechsle et al. placed the phosphorous atom precisely between very thin silicon leads, allowing them to measure its electrical behavior. The results show clearly that we can read both the quantum transitions within the phosphorous atom and its transistor behavior. No smaller solid-state devices are possible, so systems of this type reveal the limit of Moore's law - the prediction about the miniaturization of technology - while pointing toward solid-state quantum computing devices."

RE[2]: Sub-atomic?
by AnyoneEB on Tue 21st Feb 2012 00:27 UTC in reply to "RE: Sub-atomic?"
Except all of our currently used public key cryptography algorithms can be broken by a quantum computer. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-quantum_cryptography . It turns out that NP-complete problems seem to be only hard in the worst case and easy in the average case, so no one knows how to use them for cryptography. Grover's algorithm does allow for faster solutions to NP-complete problems, but they remain exponential.
With a sufficiently powerful quantum computer, Shor's algorithm defeats RSA in polynomial time and a generalization of it can solve the discrete logarithm problem (DSA, Diffie–Hellman, ElGamal) in polynomial time.
