In 1990, President George H.W. Bush approved the designation of the month of November as Native American Heritage Month. Whether or not you are a descendent of a Native American tribe, you can still participate in the celebration of their history and culture. The Tampa area has plenty of things to do if you like going out, and plenty of books to read and movies to watch if you like staying in.
Weedon Island Preserve Cultural & Natural History Center
1800 Weedon Drive N.E.
St. Petersburg, FL 33702
(727) 453-6500
The Weedon Island Preserve was designed by "anthropologists, historians and Native Americans" to preserve the nature and history of the area. The Cultural and Natural History Center is built with classrooms and exhibits featuring art, historical information and artifacts from native peoples such as the Timucuans and Manasotas. This 3,000-acre region also includes a four-mile canoe trail, three-mile hiking trail, fishing pier and waterfront picnic sites to enjoy the beauty of Florida's natural marine habitats. In addition, the paved trails and boardwalk are fully handicap accessible. Wrap up your visit with an incredible view from the three-story observation deck.
De Soto National Memorial

Bradenton, FL 34209

De Soto National Memorial is named for Hernando de Soto, a Spanish conquistador who journeyed to what is now the Tampa Bay area in search of gold. Upon his arrival, he entered into partnerships with other Spanish conquistadors and succeeded in conquering the native tribes. He eventually made a decent fortune by ranching horses and selling Indian slaves. This experience reveals the effects that European settlement had on Native American culture. In addition to the museum exhibits, De Soto National Memorial also features a theater, a nature trail, a picnic area and opportunities for fishing, boating and bird watching.
Tampa Bay History Center
801 Old Water St.
Tampa, FL 33602

The Tampa Bay History Center is three floors high and goes back through 12,000 years of human habitation in the Tampa Bay area.

If you can't make it to one of the Bay Area's history centers, there is a vast array of books available about Native American history and culture. Inkwood Books is Tampa's only local independent book store for new books and features a section specifically for books about Florida's history. Some highly rated titles include "Precious Bones" by Mika Ashley-Hollinger, "The Seminole and Miccosukee Tribes of Southern Florida" by Patsy West and "Unconquered People: Florida's Seminole and Miccosukee Indians" by Brent Richards Weisman. To get kids involved, try recommending "The Talking Earth" by Jean Craighead George or "The Circle of Life: the Miccosukee Indian Way" by Nancy Henderson and Jane Dewey.
Movies to Watch
There are dozens of films to choose from about Native American history and culture. Many of these films are fictional, such as "Last of the Mohicans," "The Seachers," "Drum Beat" and "Black Robe." If you are more interested in non-fiction, there are numerous documentaries available, such as "After the Mayflower," "Before Columbus," "Bones of Contention" and "Choctaw Code Talkers." If you want to include your children and make a family night of it, consider "Whale Rider," "The Indian in the Cupboard," "Man of the House" or "Pocahontas." To make it extra special, cook up a snack on some Navajo fry bread (also called bannock) or Cherokee yam cakes.
Amanda Mole has been writing since she was old enough to hold a pencil and cooking since she was tall enough to reach the stove. She believes that food provides more than just vital nutrients: it is an irreplaceable part of countless cultural and social activities. As a Tampa Bay resident for the past 21 years, she is well acquainted with the incredibly diverse range of restaurants, bars, and food festivals that the area has to offer.

Ted Turner at the Clinton Global Initiative
Media mogul Ted Turner, in a working session on energy and climate change, said that global warming is the biggest thing to happen to us, short of getting bombed by the Russians. God bless 'im.
One of solar power's more visible cheerleaders of late, Turner invested several million dollars last year in the New Jersey-based DT Solar. He also created a holding company, Turner Renewable Energy, and has said that he plans to start lobbying lawmakers in Washington to promote solar power and address climate change.
Better keep an eye on those durn Ruskies, though, Ted.
Update: When asked for his final thoughts, Turner waved and said, "Hi Mom."

Presiding bishop preaches to Episcopalians in South Carolina
Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori preached the following sermon Jan. 26 at Grace Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina.
Last summer, not too far from here, someone got excited and called the police about a plane flying near a nuclear power plant. It was a glider - an unpowered plane with a human pilot - more substantial than a hang-glider, and definitely not a drone. It seems a local citizen thought this plane was flying too low and too near the power plant. Gliders don't have engines, and they depend on air currents and updrafts to stay aloft. The pilot had made one turn near the power plant, which would be a likely source of rising warm air.
Well, the pilot had gained enough altitude to turn for home when he heard somebody on the radio asking about an airplane near his position. He responded, saying basically, "that's me," and the person on the radio told him, in an embarrassed tone, that the local police wanted him to land. He landed at the Hartsville airport to discover a dozen police cars waiting for him. The local constabulary insisted that he had been flying in a no-fly zone. The pilot got out his charts and showed the officer that there was no such thing indicated on his chart. The officer arrested him, handcuffed him, and took him to jail. He was not permitted to phone the business from which he'd rented the glider that morning. They'd begun to worry, because he was well overdue. Eventually the plane's owner heard from the FBI and Homeland Security that the pilot was in jail, for "breach of peace." The Darlington County police kept this 70 year old man in jail for more than 24 hours, in a tiny cell with a dozen others, with no more than a dirty blanket.

He was released on bond a day later, and the charges were eventually dismissed, but he has yet to get any apology. The FAA is pretty upset, and so is Congress. Local police don't have jurisdiction over airspace, and neither does the FBI or Homeland Security. These cops were flat out wrong.
I tell you that story because it's indicative of attitudes we've seen here and in many other places. Somebody decides he knows the law, and oversteps whatever authority he may have to dictate the fate of others who may in fact be obeying the law, and often a law for which this local tyrant is not the judge. It's not too far from that kind of attitude to citizens' militias deciding to patrol their towns or the Mexican border for unwelcome visitors. It's not terribly far from the state of mind evidenced in school shootings, or in those who want to arm school children, or the terrorism that takes oil workers hostage.
Most human communities, from churches to governments to families, function more effectively in response to shared decision-making. Most of us don't live in a world where one person is the ultimate Decider - because, over and over again, we've discovered that better decisions are made when they're made in communities with appropriate checks and balances. Power assumed by one authority figure alone is often a recipe for abuse, tyranny, and corruption. That's why Jesus challenges us to think about how the shepherd acts. The authentic ones don't sneak over the wall in the dead of night. They operate transparently, and they work cooperatively with the gate-keeper himself.
Today is the feast day for Timothy, Titus, and Silas. They were early disciples of the Jesus movement, and they offer a constructive example of the same issues. The early Christian community has been wrestling with what it means to be a faithful follower of the law as a Gentile - how much of the Jewish law applies to these new followers of Jesus? Paul and Barnabas set out to visit Antioch, sent by the group of leaders in Jerusalem, who have chosen Silas and a couple of others to go with them. They take a letter from the council with them says, "we know you've heard rumors about us and our decision-making, so we're sending these people to share with you what has actually been decided. We think you'll discover that the rumors aren't as extreme as the reality. We're not increasing your burdens, we're trying to simplify them." The council has decided in a minimalist way - circumcision is not required, nor must the gentiles follow all the dietary laws. Just a few things: don't eat food that's been blessed in pagan rites, and don't eat meat from strangled animals or that still has blood in it. But the struggle continued over whether that was adequate observance.
It's the kind of question that we will never hear the end of, for the challenges of human communities continue to evolve - because God's creative spirit continues to draw us on toward the fullness of the reign of God. We're not there yet, and that means change will continue until the end of all things. You heard Isaiah's prophetic words, "former things have come and gone; I (God) am doing a new thing." In a very real sense, we cannot remain faithful and refuse to wrestle with change. It doesn't mean blind accommodation to developments around us. It does mean discernment in community about the direction we believe God is leading.
Well, before very long Paul and Barnabas split up, after a fight about whether or not to take John Mark with them. Paul was angry that Mark had left them when they were in Perga and gone back to Jerusalem. There's no account of the split between Paul and Barnabas ever being healed. Being right may feel good for a moment, but the consequences often last a long time. Nor was Paul always consistent. He soon decides that Timothy must be circumcised, in spite of the Jerusalem decision, because his mother's Jewish.
The hard questions aren't usually decided immediately or by individuals, but by entire communities struggling through the difficult implications and the normal human resistance to change. The community wrestles and after a while finds itself in a new place, still in faithful relationship to God, whether they're in Egypt, wandering in the wilderness, in Judah and Israel, Babylon, or South Carolina.
The question is less about who's right and who's wrong in the midst of the current controversies. It's more about how we deal with those who disagree - the other sheep in the flock, and the variety of shepherds around us. Are we going to be good shepherds, partnering for abundant life? The saints we remember today didn't do it perfectly either. They wrestled with the questions, came to varying conclusions, and kept on wrestling. Luke's account is a pretty honest tale about their differences. Eventually, sometimes years or even centuries later, the community came to some consensus about food rules and circumcision. We're still struggling over other issues, like whose voice is authoritative and where and with whom true love may be found.
Let's go back to the pilot and the cops for a minute. The situation escalated when the local law enforcement who thought they were right failed to consult. They made a bad decision and then couldn't or wouldn't back down or try to rectify it until the whole thing had become patently absurd. I am immensely grateful that one officer didn't follow through on his first threat, which was to shoot the glider down.
What are those of you in this Diocese going to do in your interactions with those who've departed? Are they law-breakers who should be shot down or thrown in jail? Do we see them as vigilantes? Neither is going to produce more abundant life, my friends. When you meet them out there in the pasture, consider that some of the sheep may think they're listening to the voice of the Good Shepherd. Some are also simply exhausted.
What about the sheep who aren't in the fold, who don't know there is a feast to be found, rest for the body and soul, and partners who are willing to wrestle with the dictates of petty Deciders or wolves who masquerade as sheep? We all have a responsibility to be shepherds, to help others find their way through the Gate of abundant life. And believe me, that world out there is filled with hungry, lost sheep. Your experience of abundant life here has something to do with finding them.
We share a responsibility for all the sheep, to safeguard their lives and pastures, but it doesn't give us carte blanche to shoot potentially errant ones out of the sky. Angry responses to trespassing often produce that kind of response. God's feast doesn't need "keep out" signs - the picnic on the grass is open to all who are hungry, who need rest, who seek peace and justice and healing.
The sheriff was right about a breach of peace, but wrong about who instigated it. Our task is to heal the breach, particularly with those who are seeking rest and a feast. The banquet table is spread with abundance for all, even though it's hard to join the feast if you're busy controlling the gate. The Gate himself has already done that work, and the word is out, "y'all come. Come to the feast."

The Nemo Fillo Pillow is a packable pillow for backcountry camping and travel. The microfiber fabric is soft against your face and washable, since you never know what kind of dirt you'll meet in the backcountry or on an airplane. The whole thing packs into itself, so it fits in your pack without taking up much space. The memory foam is soft to lay upon while the air valve is there for you to add a few breaths of air for the preferred amount of firmness.
So sorry, but only 4 items are allowed for comparison, so we're comparing the first 4. I blame the gnomes and so should you.
Would you like to compare the products you have selected now?


text: My urban themed works flash a fun stylistic way about them. As to not be taken so seriously as the dark image they portray. Id like my urban style paintings to make the viewer believe they are viewing a real city, but a city from another place or reality. Like a comic book would or a Science Fiction novel.

|Still not in the 21st century
After visiting the doctor came one last adult stop. On the way back home I stopped by the dentists office. Unfortunately the office was closed for lunch so I couldn't go in. I took a note of the number though and promised myself I'd call it when I got home. Unlike every other time I promise myself something I actually followed through this time. Sadly my circumstances (I need an afternoon appointment) coupled with their patient load (it's an NHS dentist) I won't be seen until June. That's right folks it'll be more than one month from now.
I hope I still have teeth by then.

Are diamonds really a girl's best friend. Promise rings are also exchanged to seal friendships, to signify religious beliefs and to promise from abstinence from sex until a certain age. These are best for those who can spare some money for the sake of the ring.
Taking the style and grace from art nouveau, diamonds and platinum from Edwardian and turning them into a geometric, symmetrical array of diamonds and platinum. Promise rings are rings that are exchanged between two people in accordance with a promise made between them. In such cases, the promise ring is followed with an engagement ring and then a marriage ring.
The harder stones like diamonds could scratch your pearls or other jewelry and that could happen if you "throw" your jewelry all in the same place. If you need to purchase clip on earrings, you will want to go to a good jewelry dealer because good clip ones are harder to find. So clip on earrings aren t as easy to find.

If your child goes to the hospital -- and this year between 1/2 and 5 million children will require some kind of hospital care -- the event is one thing and the way the event is perceived and even imagined by the patient, by siblings and by parents is totally another, and in many ways more powerful.
Exactly how a child becomes hospitalized can occur in dramatically different ways, but whether it is elective or emergency hospitalization, the end result is always the same: a total disruption of normal family life.
The hospitalization of a child strikes at the very core of a family`s existence, crystalizing and often confirming in the event their very worst fears: the dark unknown, strange people, scary places, bodily injury, pain, helplessness and coercive separation from loved ones.
Think about it for a minute from a child`s perspective: a young child, especially one under 5 (and almost one-third of all children in this country are hospitalized before they reach the age of 5) lives in a fantasy world with much of his pretend play built around a cycle of imminent threat or danger. Normally, in play, the child easily identifies the threat (Look at the big monster!), prepares his defense (either counterattack or retreat) and ends with either escape or victory but with the child intact.
In the hospital, however, the child is thrust into a world in which fantasy collides with a reality more horrible than anything his young mind could imagine. A hospital is a world where children are greeted by friendly strangers with smiles on their faces who hurt them. If there is no identifying the threat, there is certainly no defense, as every body opening is matter-of- factly entered while new ones are created, by injection, IVs and surgery. If they struggle, they will be held down by force. Finally, they are separated from Mommy and Daddy, the very people they depend on for protection. It is the ultimate nightmare.

When Apple launched its iAd mobile advertising offering, there was reason to be excited. After all, Steve Jobs was promising something revolutionary, and betting against him was not for the faint of heart.
Unsurprisingly, major brands lined up to try out iAds. Yes, the minimums were high, and Apple exerted far more control over the creative process than was typical, but if the ads were as cool as its devices, all would work out. Or so the thinking went.
Over time, however, it has become clear that iAd wasn't exactly evolving as Apple had hoped. To keep existing advertisers satisfied and woo new ones, the company has been forced to offer concessions.
Now it seems that Apple is once again trying to make advertisers happy as iAd loses ground to offerings from competitors like Google. According to the Wall Street Journal, the minimum spend Apple is willing to consider for iAd deals has dropped to $400,000, to introduce "more flexibility to a pricing structure that had befuddled advertisers." In addition, Apple is working with Omnicom's OMD on a training program.
Will it work? Unilever says it's happy, and executives at companies like Pepsi seem to be willing to give Apple the benefit of the doubt. "They are still learning the advertising world," Pepsi's head of digital Shiv Singh told the Wall Street Journal.
The real question isn't whether Apple can make iAd work but rather, how quickly it can modify iAd so that it does work before Apple becomes a small player in an increasingly large market. Perhaps not quickly enough, and one thing is already certain: the iAd that Steve Jobs envisioned is almost certainly a thing of the past.
Comments (1)
The simple truth is most people, most of the time, don't want ads. I am not saying advertising does not work, it does, but ads are not something that people like or look forward to. Apple's goal to change that may be noble, but it has always been an uphill battle.

I'm pretty transient bar-ed out for now. I've done what I can with it, and I don't have a good way to tackle the problems I'm facing with it. However, I DO think I've managed to create a small edge out of it, so I look forward to seeing how it does on my micro account. I think a partial martingale strategy may be in order, as eurusdd suggested, and while I don't condone such tactics, I think they are a very advanced concept to implement correctly. Until then, I will wait for eurusdd to come back next year and talk about his version of transient waves, or if anyone asks/mentions anything interesting the thread. However with how secretive everyone is, I don't see that happening.
Until then I'm back to pure metadata for another time! This time I have a more solid background, and a lot of ideas, however historically I've hit a wall with them quite quickly and it's easy to become frustrated. I don't know how long I'll stick with it this time, but I will work until I'm out of ideas as usual.
I came up with a new approach after plenty of doodling on scratch paper, and these are the pre-lim results. It seems like 80%/20% extremes are decent at predicting turning points, while anything less than that, even though relatively extreme, does not do so much. I found some failures as well, but I will look into it later.

My Sister Eileen (1942)
Saturday September, 29 2018 at 08:00 PM
Films in BOLD will Air on TCM * | VIEW TCMDb ENTRY
In 1942, Columbia released the first film version of My Sister Eileen. Based on the madcap adventures of the McKenney sisters, penned by aspiring authoress Ruth and published in The New Yorker, the stories enjoyed immediate popularity when written as a Broadway play in 1940. During its three-year run, theatergoers flocked to the crowd-pleaser, touted by critics as "the giddiest delight to be seen hereabouts since You Can't Take It with You." The studio - in an unusual move for its time - adapted the play to the screen during the stage run, meaning that audiences could either see Shirley Booth (best known as TV's Hazel) live, or Rosalind Russell on the screen playing Ruth, the cynical and sensible sister trying to break into journalism. Man-magnet and hopeful actress Eileen provides the fodder for most of the misadventures, but even their living situation is comical: a basement apartment in Greenwich Village directly over a subway construction site, replete with wacky neighbors.
Russell shot to stardom playing another journalist in Howard Hawks' His Girl Friday (1940) costarring with Cary Grant. As Hildy Johnson, she pioneered the role of the smart and sassy career woman; her expert portrayal of an independent spirit led film analyst Marjorie Rosen to conclude, "Never for a moment does an audience doubt that she can't manage all by herself." Indeed, Russell was very comfortable being in charge in front of the camera; in her autobiography Life Is a Banquet, published shortly after her death in 1976, she describes the relationship between her and co-star: "Janet Blair, the girl who was cast as Eileen, started trying to upstage me. She was new and nervous, the same way I'd been when I started, so I invited her into my dressing room and delivered a short speech about the inadvisability of the course she'd embarked on. 'Look,' I said, 'you're not going to steal the picture from me because I've got the better part, the sympathy comes to me. And you're not going to get anyplace with what you're doing. I know all those old tricks. When you upstage me, all I do is turn my back on the camera, and then they have to come around on me full-face for my close-up.'" When the seasoned pro offered to then instruct her young tutor how to deliver an effective performance, an astonished Blair thanked her profusely for her kindness, to which the brassy Russell responded, "I'm not doing it because I like you, I don't know anything about you. I'm doing it to get a good picture." Direct and to the point: very fitting of the woman who once declared, "Acting is standing up naked and turning around very slowly."
Russell earned her first Oscar® nomination in the Best Actress category for her role in My Sister Eileen. Of the nomination she commented, "Glad as I was about it, the honor put me under heavy pressure. It means too much to the studios to have their people win; I still can't think about the tension surrounding those races without breaking into a sweat." She didn't have to sweat for long; she lost to Greer Garson for Mrs. Miniver (1942), the sentimental favorite that year. It would be the first of four nominations for Roz.
On a tragic note, the real Eileen McKenney died only four days before the Broadway opening. She was in a deadly car accident that also claimed the life of her husband, screenwriter and novelist Nathanael West, who is best known for his 1939 novel The Day of the Locust and later the 1975 film adaptation. Her memory, however, was kept alive through not only the play and the 1942 film: Russell starred in a musical version of My Sister Eileen rechristened Wonderful Town that opened on Broadway in 1953 and earned the actress a Tony award for her performance. In 1955, another version of My Sister Eileen was scripted and filmed, this time starring Janet Leigh, Jack Lemmon, and Bob Fosse. There was even a short-lived television series starring Broadway legend Elaine Stritch. But only the 1942 version has a surprise guest appearance in its final scene. Here's a hint: they were the kings of Columbia's comedy shorts - nyuk nyuk nyuk!

When he returns to his home world, he's inspired to make a TV series based on the character only to be accused of ripping off King Kong. King Kong appeared as a statue in Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane No. 73 in 1967 and as a robot brought to life (among other giant robots in an amusement park created by Toyman) to fight Superman in Adventures of Superman No. 475 in 1991. In issue No. 226 of Superman in 1970, Clark Kent is seen watching the film King Kong at a Metropolis cinema and after being exposed to Red Kryptonite (as Superman) grows into a giant who rampages through the city in a story called When Superman became King Kong!. In issue No. 120 of Weird War Tales from 1983, G.I. Robot encounters a giant female ape referred to as "Mrs. King Kong" on Dinosaur Island who saves him and his allies from a Tyrannosaurus. In 1985's Blue Devil No. 15, Blue Devil battles a giant robot King Kong that malfunctions at the "King Kong Attraction" located at the "Verner Bros" studio in Hollywood.

Posted on 15 Feb 2010
The Wall Street Journal reported that American International Assurance, the Asian life-insurance unit of AIG, has appointed seven banks to handle its $10 billion to $20 billion Hong Kong initial public offering (IPO).
AIG unveiled plans to float AIA in an Asian listing in May to pay down its $120.6bn bailout.
The insurer has selected Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, UBS and Chinese banks, CCB International and ICBC International as bookrunners. BOC International Holdings, which was interviewed in June and was expected to be a frontrunner to the two Chinese banks, was not picked.

To prepare the meat, bring the water to a boil in a large stock pot. Add the onions, carrots, garlic, marjoram, thyme, salt, and pork and return to a boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer gently for 1 hour, or until meat is tender. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 15 minutes more.
Remove the pot from the heat and allow the meat to cool in the broth until lukewarm. Remove the meats and vegetables from the broth. Reserve the broth. Slice the meat thinly and, if you wish, bone the chicken breasts. Place the meats and vegetables in a large cazuela or ovenproof casserole and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
To prepare the stew, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the yams, pineapple, and plantains in a ovenproof dish large enough to hold them. Roast them for 1 hour, then peel the yams and plantains and cut them into chunks. Set them aside.
Remove the veins and seeds of the chiles and wipe them clean. Soak them in hot water for 25 minutes and drain. In a blender, puree the chiles, pine nuts, garlic, tomatoes, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, thyme, marjoram, oregano, and cumin with a little of the soaking liquid.
In a large saucepan, over a medium high heat, heat the oil. Pour in the chile mixture a little at a time. Add the salt, pepper, and sugar. Cook 5 minutes or until the mixture changes color and thickens. Add the reserved broth from the meats and simmer until slightly thickened. Add the thickened sauce to the reserved cazuela with the sliced pork and chicken breasts. Bake for 20 minutes. Add the yams, pineapple, plantain, apples, and prunes. Bake for another 10 minutes.
Serve piping hot from the cazuela, accompanied by freshly made tortillas and Arroz Blanco.
The Original Manchamanteles (Stew that Stains the Tablecoth):
Take some ripe tomatoes, and remove the seeds. Grind them with soaked toasted dry chiles, cinnamon and pepper. After grinding, fry in lard, mix with warm water, add the chickens or pork, cooked sausages, olives, vinegar, salt, a lump of sugar, yams or peanuts.
Pour hot water over the rice and let it stand for about 10 minutes. Drain the rice and rinse well in cold water. Let the rice drain for a few minutes.
In a medium size saucepan with a tight fitting lid, heat the oil over a medium low heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until translucent, stirring constantly. Add the rice and cook just until the grains are coated with the oil.
Add the water and cook, uncovered, over a medium heat until the liquid has been absorbed and small air holes appear on the top of the rice. Do not stir.
Wrap the lid of the saucepan with a small terry cloth dish towel. Place the lid tightly over the saucepan so that none of the steam can escape. Set aside in a warm place for about 20 to 30 minutes, so that the rice can continue to cook and the grains expand.
Stir the rice well before serving.

Phil is a writer, speaker and activist concerned with improving the resilience and sustainability of our habitats, communities and commerce. These are the issues at the core of Transpolis Global, the organisation Phil co-founded in 2009, with operations in the US, the UK and the Czech Republic and serving clients worldwide. Transpolis is a multi-disciplinary organisation combining urban design, architecture, public policy and community advocacy.
Prior to Phil's current work with Transpolis, he served as President and Chief Executive Officer of the world-famous Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, the original organisation bearing Wright's name that was established by him in 1940. The Foundation is dedicated to advancing ideas and improvements to public policy regarding the critical role played by architecture and design in improving the quality of life; and to conserving the work and innovative spirit of Frank Lloyd Wright for the benefit of all generations. In addition to restructuring many aspects of the Foundation's governance, finances and operations, Phil led a groundbreaking relationship with the Solomon R Guggenheim Foundation. The resulting co-produced and co-curated exhibition, Frank Lloyd Wright: From Within Outward, in 2009, broke all previous Guggenheim box office records.
After graduating with a DArch (first class honours) from Kingston, a Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee Award took him to Columbia University in New York. Phil spent two years as a Public Health Service Fellow in Washington DC working on the impacts of medical technologies on the US government's Medicare and Medicaid programmes. He has held senior leadership and executive positions with prominent firms in architecture, management consulting and the US health care industry, including Perkins Will, A T Kearney, Electronic Data Systems, and Blue Shield of California.
In recent years, Phil has increased his work with the non-profit world, holding various roles including Chairman of the Phoenix Green Chamber of Commerce (Arizona), and Vice President of the Royal Institute of British Architects-USA, Inc. He is also a Fellow of the Royal Society for the Arts.
"Kingston encouraged me to always think more broadly – across the disciplines, if you will – and to consider the large and small decisions and actions that lie outside of the field of architecture but that impact greatly what architects do, or are able to do.
Overall, my educational experience at Kingston made me realise that the practice of architecture carries with it an awesome social and economic responsibility, something that is too often overlooked and ignored by those in and outside of the profession."

Today I have a fantastic side dish to share with you all!
Here are the ingredients. Super easy!
*Not sponsored by Old El Paso...we just like their products!
1 Can (16oz) Refried Beans
1 Box Spanish or Mexican Rice
1 - 8oz Block Cheddar or Mexican Blend Cheese, Shredded
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a casserole dish with nonstick spray. I used a 8x11 size pan.
Cook your rice according to the package directions.
While rice is cooking, spread the beans on the bottom of your casserole dish.
Once the rice is done cooking, spread it out on top of the beans in the casserole dish.
Sprinkle the cheese on top of the rice.
Bake for around 20 to 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Enjoy with tacos, fajitas, burritos, or enchiladas. It's all good together!
I love buying the block cheese and grating it for recipes. The flavor is just so much better than the pre-shredded packaged cheese.
I forgot to get a picture of me adding the rice on top of the beans, but you can see it on the video.
It's going in the oven!
This only takes about 20 to 30 minutes to bake. While baking, I get my taco meat and taco fixings ready.
When this comes out of the oven, it is super bubbly.
We love this recipe as a side with tacos, but you could spoon this into a tortilla and have as a burrito.
You could even add your taco meat as a layer over the rice and enjoy it as a taco casserole.
I hope you give this recipe a try!
It is super easy and versatile and delicious any way you serve it.
Thanks for checking out this post and recipe.
Hugs, Shelly

Foreclosure Rules in Ontario
The foreclosure proceedings in the province of Ontario are quite quick, as these Canada foreclosure proceedings are generally given out in the mortgage documents.
Initially, power of sale was developed in this province by lenders who wanted to dispose property as well as recover debt, very faster way. As a result of this need, they started including power of sale provisions in those mortgages that allowed them to dispose away property under the default of the borrower's, without the intervention of the courts. The method of power of sale is now under the Ontario Mortgages Act of Canada foreclosure.
Two kinds of power of sale are under the Mortgages Act – the contractual and statutory. When mortgage documents include power of sale provisions, it is contractual power of sale. Statutory power of sale occurs in case the mortgage documents do not include power of sale provisions. Statutory power of sale may be rare but the lender can exercise the power of sale until the borrower has failed to pay for three or more months.
Both the abovementioned types of power of sale begin when a notice is given to the borrower after a period of 15 days of default. The notice has to be given to anyone who has an interest in that property, including statutory lien holders, succeeding encumbrances, or even those who have placed in writing their interests in the property to the lender. The notice is tied to the Mortgages Act, and it is then known as a "Notice of Sale Under Mortgage". The notice includes details of the mortgage like:
If it is contractual power of sale, then the borrower gets 35 days to pay, if it is not stated otherwise in the mortgage agreements. If it is statutory power of sale, the borrower gets 45 days to pay. The lender does not have any power do anything more within the "redemption" period, however the borrower may redeem the mortgage by paying the amounts owing.
After the expiry of the redemption period and the failure of the borrower to amend the default, the lender may sell the property. Through power of sale, the lender can sell property by private contract, auction, or tender. Generally, real estate agent lists the property and places it on the market for sale. To make sure, a large section of the market notices the property, proper guidelines are set up, including listing the property under multiple listing services, getting appraisals, and ensuring that the listing is meant for the normal period of such foreclosed properties.
After the property is sold off and if there is some surplus, then the lender has to account to other subsequent encumbrancers and the borrower. According to the Mortgage Act the proceeds of the sale firstly has be applied to the rate of conducting the sale, and then to cost and interest owing under the mortgage. Then the proceeds will go to the principal money owing, next to pay the amounts because of subsequent encumbrances and eventually to pay security deposits of tenants.

Prices for gold are some of the highest they've ever been. In fact, the average price for an ounce of gold has risen nearly 600% over the past 15 years. It's definitely a great time to think about selling your gold. But why are prices so high right now? It comes down to a combination of factors.
- Everyone wants gold. It's been true throughout history. As the world's favorite precious metal, gold has been used in opulent thrones, royal crowns, prized jewelry and even priceless paintings. Gold is the quintessential treasure — and everyone from Blackbeard to Queen Elizabeth has been mesmerized by its allure.
- Supply is down. Recently, South Africa — the world's biggest exporter of gold — has reported a substantial decrease in supply. With supply down and demand rising, prices skyrocket.
- Demand is up. Gold works as a great hedge against inflation, which the growing economies of Asia are experiencing right now. Demand for gold is through the roof in countries such as China, which in 2012 imported more gold than the entire holdings of the European Central Bank.
- It's the economy. The gold market is tied to the strength of the dollar. When inflation pushes the dollar lower, gold increases in price. Also, in times of economic uncertainty, investors turn to precious metals as a safeguard against further turbulence.
We've all got some unwanted gold lying around — now's a great time to find out how much your gold jewelry or gold coins are really worth.Come see the experts at West Seattle Coins and Bellevue Rare Coins in West Seattle, Bellevue and Lynnwood. We'll give you a free appraisal with no pressure to sell.

A classic soufflé has two main components: a starch-thickened egg yolk-rich base, and whipped egg whites. Loosely translated, soufflé means "full of air."
In the case of this chocolate soufflé, the base is flavoured with bitter-sweet chocolate and coffee. Without the addition of the whipped egg whites, you'd have a rich chocolate pudding. But, fold in the whipped egg whites, and something amazing happens. All those small little bubbles you beat into the whites expand in the heat of the oven, et voila! What would have been a thick, rich, dense pudding turns into a light, ethereal, melt-in-your-mouth soufflé. This soufflé is light and fluffy in texture. Take care not to over bake this product. It must be served immediately with a soft centre.
- 125g Cream
- 100g Dark 55% couverture chocolate
- 20g Cocoa powder
- 1tsp Coffee powder (instant granules)
- 2 Egg yolks
- 15g Cornstarch (dilute with a cold little water)
- 6 Egg whites
- 80g Castor sugar
- Pre-heat the oven to 200⁰C.
- Prepare the ramekins, by brushing the melted butter and dusting with granulated sugar. Bring the cream to the boil, adding the chopped chocolate and cocoa powder of the heat. Whisk in the yolks and diluted cornstarch and cook out until just think.
- Form a soft meringue with the egg whites adding the sugar until smooth and glossy.
- Pour into prepared ramekins, cleaning the top of the ramekin.
- Bake for 9 minutes.
Raspberries and cream- break sweetness with acidity.

Discussion in 'GBAtemp & Scene News' started by T-hug, Jun 26, 2008.
This similar/related to that german cooking recipie rom? Or is it just a cooking sim?
Looks like the best summer blockbuster for the DS this year! Can't wait until it finishes downloading!
Icon rules! What a nice tomato
it's Cooking Mama with a story. not bad.
though it froze after the first dessert ;(
So this is a game, not a cooking guide?
Its a game.. But its a good game.. Considering..
If it's made in Florida or Mexico, I'm taking this game back. I don't care to suffer salmonella.
anyone care to elaborate on the story? i want to see if this is worth the download.
I think I was waiting for that response. In any case, they're supposed to be OK now... Chipotle has their mild salsa back which is completely made of wonderful tomatoes.
Ok, It begins when you are the apprentice to a french restaurant.. You must undergo a quick cooking test, Its really easy.. And you become a cook.. Step by Step Guide all the way.. Every chapter you must cook a number of things for a certain customer/s.. You get to use a knife, skewer, spoon, beater, sald bowl, cake tin, hot plates, season foods, fry pan, pot, oven, baking tin and must cook a number of ingredients with the provided technique/ equipment..
I think its really good for a short game that nobody knew was coming out.. Its not as bad as its cover..
I've been wanting to try this game. I like unusual stuff. And the impressions in this thread seem very positive. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for that, imma dl now. i just have to wait an awesome 1/2 hour due to crappy australian internets zzzZZZZzzzzZZZzz
Thanks for the info Curley. I was planning to ignore this one, but since it sounds like a story driven Cooking Mama, I'll give it a chance. I just hope the french chefs don't stare at me with fire-burning eyes if I don't chop fast enough.
If you like Cooking Mama, you'll love this. It adds a story and more stuff to do. You're a trainee chef in a French restaurant so you're making a load of poncy sounding meals. I've finished the first 5 missions, one included a food critic coming to give the restaurant a star. Only burnt the food once so far, there's a bin to throw the overcooked stuff in, left the hob on too long, since then I've just turned the hob off once the frenchman gives me the tick to say it's cooked.
Fun game.
i already finished the game and it's all worth it. it makes me crave for part 2

The Real Madrid footballer shared the exciting news in a picture on Instagram just moments after his 22-year-old partner gave birth to a baby girl named Alana Martina.
The Portuguese sportsman and his eldest son, Cristiano Jr., aged seven, were seen wearing hospital scrubs in the snap as they beamed alongside Georgina who lay in bed.
The 32-year-old wrote alongside the family photo: "Alana Martina is just born! Both Geo and Alana are doing great! We are all very happy!"
The couple began dating last year and since becoming an item, Cristiano welcomed twins Eva Maria and Mateo via a surrogate mother in June. After their arrival, Cristiano revealed he wanted to add to his growing brood and have seven children.
The striker admitted Cristiano Jr. wants more siblings to bring the tally up to the same number as his football shirt.
He is said to have made the confession during a Chinese TV interview picked up by papers in Portugal. A Portuguese newspaper entitled Correio da Manha quoted Cristiano as saying: "Cristianinho is very happy.
"He's doing well and says he wants more brothers and sisters. He wants seven, the magic number, and I think that's good."
He also added that he was "enjoying the moment" with his expanding family.

Case Study # 3: The CIHR HIV/AIDS Community-Based Research (CBR) Program
The CIHR HIV/AIDS Community-Based Research (CBR) Program supports knowledge development and capacity-building initiatives of relevance to communities engaged in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Community-based research involves community members in all stages of the research process—from the very beginning to define the research question. This ensures relevance to the community, capacity-building, and integration of community members in conducting the research; it also promotes active participation in the development and implementation of the dissemination strategy. In addition to these principles, community-based research maintains the same level of methodological rigour and ethical review as other research approaches.
The program has emphasized capacity-building for research within community service organizations by linking them with new research students, funding capacity-building workshops, funding community-based research facilitators who work with organizations in their region to develop research capacity through training, and establishing contact with research collaborators in academia and government. Operating and Catalyst Grant funding is also available for research projects.
The program receives guidance from the CIHR HIV/AIDS Community-Based Research Steering Committee, which was established in 2006 as a sub-committee of the CIHR HIV/AIDS Research Advisory Committee (CHARAC). The CBR Steering Committee, which has equal representation of researchers and individuals from community organizations servicing affected populations, provides advice to CIHR on future funding opportunities, as well as the creation of internal policies supporting the needs of the program.
Membership on the committee starts with a minimum two-year term with replacement members identified through a call for nomination process. Upon acceptance of a position, new members are sent an information package containing details about the HIV/AIDS Community-Based Research Program as well as the CIHR Conflict of Interest Policy. Departing and incoming members overlap for one meeting to ensure continuity and a smooth transition process.
The involvement of citizens in the HIV/AIDS Community-Based Research Program is demonstrated in the merit review of research proposals; like the steering committee, review committees have equal representation of researchers and individuals from community organizations. Both types of members have equal voting power, with one of each assigned as a reviewer to every funding application being evaluated. This program demonstrates the principles of community engagement in research: Community engagement can be difficult to define clearly, but at its heart, it is the intersection of the complementary efforts of members of the lay community, health practitioners and medical and public health researchers to improve health.
In 2009, CIHR contracted PRI Inc to evaluate the HIV/AIDS CBR Program. The purpose of the evaluation is to assess the program rationale, the effectiveness of its design and delivery processes, and its successes. CIHR will use the evaluation results to strengthen the HIV/AIDS CBR Program and maximize its impact on Canada's response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

By now many of you have heard of Brad Marchand's blog he is doing for ESPN in which he writes down his thoughts and displays them for the world to read. (Go HERE to read it.) First brought to my attention by @kyleberndt (He holds the record for hours of Pac-Man played while playing in a burning house, holding on to play at just under 2 hours), I read the blog and after I was done, I was certain of two things. One, Brad has a lot of time on his hands. It seemed like he has five games worth of time on his hands. And two, I was positive someone with a PR background was assisting Marshmont with this piece. I don't want to say I think Marshmont is a dumb man, but he WAS voted the "Spelling Champian of the World" last month, so let's just say I had a few suspicions about how much of this article was Brad, and how much of it was the PR muppet making Brad's mouth move.
I put in a few calls to a few sources (Tim Tebow. Not the football player. The private investigator.) and it only took a couple of hours before I hit the jack pot. My sources found for me some e-mail exchanges between Marchand and his PR guy, before it was edited and put in print. And because the only reason I blog is because I love you guys so much (And because I hate pants), I am going to share this with you. You guys deserve the truth damnit! So without further ado, let me present to you, the real blog of Brad Marchand.
Also, please do not take this seriously in any way, shape or form. Also, this is really long. Please feel free to not read it and then yell at me for it being too long and how you'll never get that time back. Blame Marchand for writing 1298129182 words in his blog.
Brad Marchand Blog: PR vs Reality
E-mail #1:
"I was a little worried I wouldn't be able to play in the Vancouver game because I was extremely hung over. I mean, really hungover. I mean, woke up with blood on my hands and an extinct dodo bird sitting dead at my feet hungover. I am pretty sure I killed Steve Yzerman's prized secret dodo bird. All I remember is punching. So much punching. I mean, nobody pulled me off the bird, so I continued punching and punching and punching….sometimes my feet smell like carrots."
Editors notes: Not going to lie Brad, we probably shouldn't disclose that you were hungover. What I'm thinking is we say you had the "flu". Everyone gets the flu, and luckily its symptoms match being hung over. This is how we get Don Cherry to stay on air every year. I am also going to have to suggest we take out the part where you murder Steve Yzerman's secret dodo bird. Aside from the fact I am horrified of what you actually killed, if Steve Yzerman actually had a secret dodo bird, I don't think he wants anyone to know about the secret dodo bird. And not to be mean, but you ended that paragraph on a really odd note. I don't even want to know why your feet smell like carrots. Let's make it that you had the flu, and then mention some of your team mates or something.
E-mail #2:
"Roberto Luongo wasn't starting, and I was really confused, because it looked like they were starting a Sedin in net. This upset me because it would be a lot harder to punch a Sedin if one of them got to wear a goalie mask all game. Typical Swedish move, though, hiding behind a mask."
Editors Note: Brad, we talked about this. Just because someone has red hair and a beard, it does not mean they are a Sedin. You almost killed a 64 year old man last month when you punched him six times, assuring the police you were just protecting Boston from a Swedish Sedin invasion. Let's change that to you being happy for Cory Schneider starting the game in front of friends and family. It's not often I get a chance to make you look likeable, so we need to take it when it comes along.
E-mail #3:
"I clipped the **** out of Sami Salo. Dude never saw it coming. I've always wanted a cool Hollywood moment where you get to say a cheesy line to someone, so when Salo began to fall I said "You're Finnished." Epic."
Editors Note: Yeah, we should probably not openly admit you clipped him. Let's just put in a bunch of mumbo jumbo about rules and mention Salo's buttocks. Then mention concussions or something.
E-mail #4:
"I don't know, sometimes I just wish I had really cool fire powers. But then I think, 'what if I had ice powers, that would be neat'. Then I get really confused. I just wish I could decide. Part of me wants to have both fire and ice powers, but come on, let's get serious here, that just isn't feasible."
Editor's Note: I'm just going to go ahead and assume this is an intense metaphor for staying disciplined.
E-mail #5:
"Alain is a jerk. I never want to hurt a player unless I'm annoyed, the player has scored a goal, the player has made a nice pass, the dude gets on the ice for his shift, the guy tries dumping it in, or maybe the guy looks at me funny. And everyone knows when I play, I play hard. Literally."
Editor's Note: Just going to stop you right there, I don't even need to know if that was a metaphor or not. Let's just say you are going to take the higher road on Alain Vigneault's comments.
E-mail #6:
"Has anyone read Harry Potter? Don't you think Harry should have ended up with Hermione? I mean, call me crazy, but Ron and Hermione had a brother sister vibe going on the entire series. Which normally I have no problem with, but not when I'm pretty sure Ron was played by Henrik Sedin."
Editors Note: This is why I drink. Let's throw your Boston fans a bone here, let's get off that high road and take a couple of shots at Vancouver. That will also help people believe that you actually wrote this.
E-mail 7:
"Man, the game just reminded me of this one time I killed Steve Yzerman's dodo bird. That was INTENSE."
Editor's Note: Aaaaaaaand we're back at the dodo bird. Let's just say you don't want to talk about the suspension. Then fill the rest of the blog with 4000 words about your team mates.

I purchased and installed a Pentair Intelliflow in April 2007. I've had a green pool since April.
This pump acts intelligent, but it's not. At least the firmware in my pump is not. Here my issues with this pump - consider this a warning before your purchase this pump:
1. Clogged supply - Initially after the install I had leaves at the bottom of the pool, only the main drain was on (no skimmers). The pump was priming and after about a minute the pump generated a clogged drain alarm (forgot exact verbiage). The red alarm light came on, and the LCD posted the clog alarm message. Funny how the pump didn't stop on its own....I pressed STOP and nothing happened. I pressed STOP about 10 more times, and the pump never stopped. Had this been a real life emergency (i.e. somebody's hair in the main drain) the situation would have been ugly if not deadly.
2. Priming - After my filter reaches above 20%, the pump can't be restarted for at least 1 hour after it's turned off (sediments dropping to the bottom of the filter). The priming cycle is not very intelligent. I may have a priming flow of 30 GPM, 15 PSI, 400 Watts, no air in the system. Everything looks good....then the pump spikes the RPM's / power to above 2000 Watts for an instant. After this the power drops to 180 W and starts climbing again. This cycle repeats about every 30 seconds until the max priming alarm time is met, and an alarm is generated, the pump stops and the pool turns green if you are not baby sitting.
The 1st time I called Pentair with these complaints, the tech on the phone was no help. He didn't have any intelligence to contribute to the Intelliflow pump operation.
Last week I called again, because I'm tired of babysitting my Intelliflow pump. So far I've waited 7 days. Somebody is supposed to show up tomorrow. So far I've explained these problems to 4 people at Pentair & their service channels, and nobody has been even intelligent enough to ask about my settings.
I don't have time for this. I would rather have a constant RPM pump grinding than a dumb pump pretending to be intelligent, with very unintelligent people to stand behind its unintelligence.
After Pentair provides me the technology to make this dumb pump intelligent, I'll post an update.

Federal prosecutors revealed their strategy yesterday for introducing the testimony of Sept. 11 victims at the death penalty trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, saying they intend to display in court the name and photograph of every person killed in the terrorist assaults.
The government plans to tell in detail the stories of 45 victims through testimony from family members and people injured in the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, prosecutors said in a filing in U.S. District Court in Alexandria.
It is unknown how many victims would testify at the trial of Moussaoui, the only person convicted in a U.S. case in connection with the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Some victims would testify about the loss of several loved ones. But prosecutors said they intend to lay out a cross section of information about victims from the Trade Center, the Pentagon and all four hijacked flights. Nearly 3,000 people were killed that day.
"We believe that 45 stories of victim impact represents a reasonable sample -- less than one percent of all those murdered or injured on September 11, 2001 -- to convey properly the devastation caused on that infamous day," the filing says.
The plan, which requires a federal judge's approval, is the most detailed look at how the government plans to proceed in what is expected to be the most emotional part of the death-penalty phase of Moussaoui's trial. For the first time, Sept. 11 victims would have their day in court in a U.S. case, part of a massive and unprecedented victim-impact project mounted by federal prosecutors in Alexandria.
Under the project, designed to help relatives deal with their loss and to secure their testimony at trial, prosecutors and others have interviewed about 1,600 victims and continue to maintain a database of about 8,000 family members. Federal law specifies that family members of those killed or injured Sept. 11 also are considered victims, entitling them to such rights as being notified of developments in the case.
Attorneys for Moussaoui would not comment on the government's plan. Moussaoui, 37, pleaded guilty in April to six counts of conspiring with al Qaeda in the attacks. He denied that he was planning to be a Sept. 11 hijacker, saying his attack was to come later.
A federal jury will now decide if Moussaoui will be executed or spend the rest of his life in prison. Jury selection is scheduled to begin Feb. 6.
Under federal law, anyone who was "directly or proximately harmed" as a result of a federal crime has the right to be heard publicly at sentencing, and prosecutors said several hundred Sept. 11 victims asked to testify at Moussaoui's trial.
But the government filing calls that number "impracticable," saying it would prolong and "unduly complicate" the proceedings. So prosecutors are asking U.S. District Judge Leonie M. Brinkema to invoke an exception for cases with multiple victims and allow them to limit who can testify.
Those who lost loved ones Sept. 11 said yesterday that they understand the government's argument. "There has to be some reasonable, practical limitation," said Bethesda resident D. Hamilton Peterson. "The enormity of the impact of this case is such that it would be impossible to do otherwise."
Peterson's father, Donald A. Peterson, and his stepmother, Jean H. Peterson, were killed when United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in western Pennsylvania on Sept. 11.
David Yancey, whose wife, Vicki, was aboard American Airlines Flight 77 when it hit the Pentagon, said it could be distracting to the jury to have too many family members testify. Yancey, of Arlington, said some family members will find it therapeutic to take the stand. "For some people, I believe it would be a sense of closure," he said.
The government filing did not indicate exactly how prosecutors plan to display the names and photographs -- assuming a photograph could be obtained -- of every Sept. 11 victim. It said those testifying would represent a cross section of races, religions, economic statuses and occupations.
