Sundance - Choke Reviews Start Pouring In
Here is our second review out of Sundance for Choke. I'll post more of these in this News article as they come.
This comes from my man Andrew Greenblatt, who sent us those Blackberry pictures earlier tonight. Here's another, clearer picture from him, along with his review:
Screening was fantastic. The audience was very receptive, laughing where appropriate (or mildly inappropriate as is), and there was a huge round of applause at the end.
As I said before, I haven't read the book in years, but the movie incorporated everything I remembered. Sam Rockwell was incredible, perfect actually. His voiceover was right on point, sarcastic, condescending, apathetic, brilliant. His acting was equally fantastic. Anjelica Huston knocked the role right out of the park, playing Ida at 40 and Ida at 60, another perfect casting job. Honestly, the entire cast was excellent.
Clark Gregg did a fantastic job adapting the script and directing. He really captured the heart of the book and incorporated all the memorable scenes. I really believe you will be pleased, as will other fans of the book. I'm anxious to hear what Chuck thought. I was a little disappointed he didn't participate in the q and a, but they really wanted to separate the picture from the book. Clark did thank him and have him stand for applause.
All in all, it was everything I hoped for. I laughed a ton, and even knowing everything that was coming, the Dr. Paige twist was great.
Lets chat soon

How do like your pizza?
Chances are, you can easily find a satisfying slice at one of Amarillo's many local pizza places.
This week, Get Out! spotlights four area restaurants popular for having great pizza. Each eatery mentioned offers its unique take on crust, toppings, dining experience and more.
Below, browse a listing of other locally owned and operated restaurants with pizza on the menu.
575 Pizzeria
• Location: 2803 Civic Circle
• Phone: 806-331-3627
For nearly five years, 575 Pizzeria has offered a one-of-kind pizza dining experience for Amarilloans.
The restaurant, which opened in May 2006, features an upscale atmosphere fitting for a night out for pizza with family and friends. Live music by Andy Chase Cundiff on Tuesday nights adds to the ambiance.
"It's different, something you don't get anywhere else," said Brian Kelleher, owner of 575 Pizzeria.
The pies at 575 Pizzeria are handmade. The dough is hand-tossed and baked at 575 degrees Fahrenheit for a crispy thin crust. A gluten-free crust alternative also is available. The restaurant makes a chunky tomato sauce.
The pizzeria also offers a unique beer and wine list, Kelleher said.
Service also is valued. "We try hard to take care of our guests," the owner said.
Fire Slice Brick Oven Pizzeria
• Location: 7306 S.W. 34th Ave., Space 10
• Phone: 806-331-2232
At Fire Slice Brick Oven Pizzeria, customers can choose from more than a dozen distinctive specialty pizzas.
The pizza place boasts creativity, both in the names of its pizzas - Wiseguy, The Mullet, Tommy Boy, etc. - as well as in its topping combinations.
Two pizzas feature green chilies. The Hot Momma includes marinara, mozzarella, pepperoni, Italian sausage and green chilis. The green chili cheeseburger is topped with marinara, mozzarella, hamburger, red onion, green chilis and cheddar cheese.
All pizzas feature fresh ingredients, said owner Brad Davis. "We try to use the highest quality," he said.
Each pizza is made on hand-stretched dough and baked in a brick oven. "It's a more artisan approach to making pizza," Davis said.
The restaurant also features regular evenings of live music, usually two or three times weekly.
Pizza Planet
• Location: 2400 Paramount Blvd.
• Phone: 806-353-6666
Amarillo actually has three Pizza Planet locations, but this site has been in operation the longest (since 1974).
Some of Pizza Planet's most popular specialties include the chicken ranch pizza, the meat lover's pizza and the taco pizza.
Manager Ron Inmon bragged on the store's supreme pizza, which is topped with pepperoni, onions, mushrooms, green peppers and sausage. "It's my favorite," he said.
The eatery offers two varieties of crusts, an original "Texas-style" crust and a deep-dish. The restaurant offers a $10 special for a large pizza with up to three toppings.
For details on the other two Pizza Planet locations, see the more eateries listing.
Texas Firehouse Sports Bar and Grill
• Location: 3333 S. Coulter St., Space D1
• Phone: 806-351-1800
Texas Firehouse Sports Bar and Grill didn't set out to be known for its pizza.
"Our pizza is actually listed on the back page of the menu," said restaurant owner Mark Plowman.
"But the buzz about our pizza was good, and it quickly turned into one of our best-selling items."
Plowman said the from-scratch pizzas feature a thin crust that is crispy on the edge but "floppy" in the middle.
The crust ingredients set the pizzas apart, Plowman said. The restaurant uses milk and a different type of flour: "We add a little extra to it," Plowman said. "It's not your basic pizza."
Customers can take advantage of a buy one one-topping, get one free special on Tuesday nights.

Over a dozen parents flocked to a Planning and Zoning meeting last week to voice their concerns over Bread for Life's potential new home across from Derynoski Elementary School.
Bread for Life, a non profit organization that provides hot meals to people in need five days a week, has proposed to bring its property to 296 Main Street. The 3,200 sq. foot building would meet Southington's growing demand of its residents, according to a press release on Bread for Life's website.
Parents rejected Bread for Life's application, expressing concerns for their children's safety. During a Board of Education meeting two weeks ago, parents came forward with letters and e-mails. One parent, Heidi Matusik, has a fifth grader at Derynoski Elementary School. Matusik said she feels grateful for the services that Bread for Life offers to the entire community, but feels as though the non-profit organization does not provide safety for children.
"I agree that everyone should get a meal, but everyone who is getting a meal should not possibly be near the school," Matusik said during a Board of Education meeting two weeks ago. "There will inevitably be a sex offender, a person struggling of substance abuse, or even a person with mental illness who may not be able to make rational decisions."
Eldon Hafford, the executive director of Bread for Life, said in a press release that his non-profit organization has "explored a new building for ten years," and its proposed plan is "modest in scope," meeting town regulations. But Hafford also said BFL is open to hearing people's concerns.
"We have a tremendous relationship with the Southington School System, including recently launching the successful breakfast program," Hafford said in the press release. "We know this relationship will grow in the future and have begun to talk about ways to deepen the bond."
During the meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission decided to table the application, and public input will take place October 15 during a regular meeting, according to Chairman Michael DelSanto. The meeting will take place at Town Hall.

Demi Lovato & Logan Henderson Spotted Making Out In Hotel — Are They Dating?
An eyewitness tells HollywoodLife.com about witnessing Demi Lovato and Big Time Rush's Logan Henderson locking lips at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in New York City March 8! Do YOU think they make a cute couple?
Wilmer Valderrama is SO last month. It looks like Demi Lovato has moved on with another, more age appropriate, man and we totally approve. HollywoodLife.com has learned exclusively the 19-year-old former Disney darling was engaging in some major PDA with 22-year-old Big Time Rush star Logan Henderson in New York City yesterday…
"I saw Demi and Logan kissing at the Ritz Carlton Hotel," our source dishes exclusively.
This doesn't come as too big of surprise to us, since the adorable couple seemed pretty darn cozy earlier in the night at the premiere for the Nickelodeon original TV movie, Big Time Movie (starring Big Time Rush).
Wearing a leather jacket and blouse, with her long locks flowing, Demi looked casual and happy to be Logan's date for the evening, posing for pics and even sitting with him inside the theater. Following the film, Demi and Logan left together and if you watch the video below closely, you see them holding hands as they walk down the street. Too cute!
Logan and Demi have been friends for some time now and their fans have even speculated in the past there's more between them than just friendship. It looks like the sparks are finally flying!

October 30, 2012 11:00:45 AM
OXFORD -- Let's raise a toast to the end of campaign season and all those pesky ads.
What do you mean, "What ads?"
Oh, that's right. We live in Mississippi, one of the 40 states where the contest for the presidency is, well, no contest at all.
David Shribman, editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, put it this way: "For some Americans, presidential politics is a participatory sport and for others it is a spectator sport."
Shribman visited Mississippi a few weeks ago. He said couldn't help noticing the sharp contrast between the pervasive political buzz in Pennsylvania and the total non-buzz here, so he wrote about it in his newspaper. The dateline was Oxford and the headline was clever. "Old times here have been forgotten: Deep in Dixie, the candidates look away," it read.
But Mississippi is not alone on the hustings. Shribman wrote: "There's no campaign here, where the GOP will win in an easy autumn stroll, just as the Republicans will in Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska and both Dakotas. Nor is there a campaign in Illinois, Washington, Oregon and California, where the Democrats are confident and Republicans are in retreat if not virtual retirement."
Follow the money:
Two full months before election day, a tally showed $563.4 million spent by presidential campaigns in the 10 key states.
The International Business Times said Florida was first at $117.4 million and Ohio second at $112.1 million. Numbers dropped like a rocket outside the Top 10. Michigan was 11th at a mere $8 million.
There is only one reason for such a skew: the Electoral College. Without it, there would be no such thing as a "battleground state." Every vote would count.
The civics lesson is short and succinct. The founders didn't trust the people or the governments of the states where they lived, so a buffer was inserted.
Election to every other office is based on who gets the most votes. Not so the presidency.
In the event of chicanery in a state or on the chance that too many people were hoodwinked, there is a check on the power of people. States must send "electors" to Washington after popular votes are counted. Candidates who win the majority in a state are supposed to get the votes of all that state's electors -- a number equivalent to its seats in the House plus its two senators. But while the electors are pledged to fulfill a sacred trust, they aren't legally required to do so. They are free to follow their conscience.
There's some talk that the Electoral College serves the purpose of balancing big states and little states, cities and counties. Folderol. All the college does is make tallies in politically balanced states -- battleground states -- more crucial and, as Shribman said, makes spectators out of everyone else.
Almost since its inception, the Electoral College has been assailed as a needless artifice. Electors have never taken it upon themselves to save the people from a bad choice. Uniformly -- although there is still argument about the Bush-Gore tally -- the public's will has been done.
Because it is an artifice, the Electoral College is doomed to go away, eventually.
Already a smattering of states has initiated changes. For instance, a few say they will split their electors in proportion to the votes a candidate receives. Others are pledging to have their electors vote for the person who wins the popular vote nationally, even if that candidate didn't "carry" the state.
A shortcut would be to amend the Constitution, delete the Electoral College and elect presidents the same way every other officeholder is elected.
The immediate result would be to make every state a battleground state. Mississippi and its 39 cousins who suffer from the problem of too much predictability could not be taken for granted.
Now Shribman, in conversation, admitted more than a smidgen of enjoyment flowed from being out of earshot of the pitched battle for Pennsylvania. So maybe there are positive aspects to being on the sidelines.
A major point, though, is that because our votes are counted and do matter we should at least be courted.
And we would be if it weren't for the Electoral College and the fact that while the founding fathers trusted the people with a lot, they stopped short of giving us the power, free and clear, to pick a president.

Verbiak, who learned how to make charcuterie at L&M's Kitchen and Salumeria, in Oxford, Mississippi, pairs this rich side dish with braised veal cheeks or rabbit. It would also be good with chicken or fish.
- Yield
- Makes 6 side-dish servings
- Active Time
- 1 1/4 hr
- Total Time
- 6 hr (includes making stock)
- 2 1/4 pound Tuscan kale (3 bunches; also called cavolo nero, lacinato kale, or dinosaur kale), stems and center ribs discarded
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 pound pancetta, cut into 1/4-inch dice (1 3/4 cups)
- 2 fresh thyme sprigs
- 1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
- 2 fresh flat-leaf parsley sprigs
- 2 large onions, finely chopped
- 1 whole head of garlic, halved horizontally
- 3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 3 to 4 cups unsalted chicken stock
- Special Equipment
- parchment paper; kitchen string
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Cut out a round of parchment paper to fit just inside a 5- to 6-quart heavy ovenproof pot, then set round aside.
- Blanch kale in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water in 2 batches, 2 minutes per batch, transferring with tongs to a colander as blanched, then drain well.
- Warm oil in 5- to 6-quart pot over moderate heat, then add pancetta and cook, stirring frequently, until crisp, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer pancetta with a slotted spoon to a plate and reserve, discarding all but 1/4 cup of fat in pot (if necessary).

Cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until onions are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Return pancetta to pot then add butter and heat, stirring occasionally, until melted. Stir in kale and add enough stock to cover three fourths of kale. Increase heat to high and bring to a simmer. Cover kale directly with parchment round, then transfer pot to oven and braise, stirring once or twice, until kale is very tender, about 45 minutes.
- Transfer pot to stovetop and discard parchment, then boil mixture, stirring occasionally, until almost all of liquid is evaporated but kale is still moist, about 35 minutes. Discard bouquet garni and garlic and season kale with salt and pepper.

Baton and ball
Jeremy Pound has high hopes for a new charitable appeal that unites classical music and cricket… in name at least
All very wet. But fun. Millions watched on TV on Saturday as the floats splashed their way through the streets of the capital and Nick Anstee began his term of office as Lord Mayor of London.
Admittedly, far fewer of us – 50 maximum? – were in attendance at the Mansion House two days later, when Anstee launched his Pitch Perfect charity appeal. But there was nothing of the 'After the Lord Mayor's Show…' about this event. Far from it. As Anstee himself pointed out, the smart regalia and horse-drawn carriage of the weekend is one thing, but this is where the business of being Lord Mayor really begins.
So, Pitch Perfect, then. Classical music and cricket happen to be two of Anstee's major passions, and he has chosen two related charities, the London Symphony Orchestra's LSO On Track and the Cricket Foundation's Chance to Shine, to support over the next 12 months. Given the potential financial clout the Lord Mayor's advocacy brings – the post traditionally has close links with the movers and shakers of the City – this is great news for lovers of both artforms (and, yes, cricket is an artform…).
The Pitch Perfect branding and marketing are quite canny. The name itself works a treat on both fronts, and they've designed a natty little logo that combines a set of stumps with a triplet of quavers. Both LSO On Track and Chance to Shine also share a similar aim: to inspire children in deprived areas of London to develop new talents by providing them with decent facilities and guidance and tuition from the very best.
So far so good. But what will be interesting now is how the charities choose to combine forces and work to mutual benefit: for all the shared brand identity, the two still appear to be operating pretty much on their lonesome at present.
But just think of what might be achieved if someone with a bit of creative genius somehow brings the two together in a series of joint activities. Therein lie all sorts of opportunities for introducing cricket fans to music and vice versa: the potential for developing participation in both is huge.
What's more, wouldn't such a partnership be fun? Too many initiatives of this kind can be seen to founder in single-minded worthiness – this one, through its double-headed approach, has a real capacity for variety and colour. Let's hope that it meets its full potential. We'll be keeping an eye on the Pitch Perfect beat and ball with particular interest.
Jeremy Pound is the deputy editor of BBC Music Magazine. Or is most of the time. One exception is during the Ashes cricket series, when his desk is regularly found unoccupied.

LEWISBURG, Pa. — Irish pianist John O'Conor will perform in concert Wednesday, Feb. 27, at 7:30 p.m. in the Rooke Recital Hall of the Weis Music Building at Bucknell University.
The program, which is free and open to the public, includes Beethoven's Bagatelles Op. 126; Beethoven's Sonata in C minor Op. 13 "Pathetique;" and Schubert's Sonata in C minor D958.
O'Conor also will host a masterclass in the Rooke Recital Hall from 2 to 4 p.m. that day.
Acclaimed as "a true poet of the piano," O'Conor has earned a reputation as a masterful interpreter of the Classic and Early Romantic piano repertoires.
He has performed throughout the world with many of the world's leading orchestras including the London Symphony, Royal Philharmonic, Czech Philharmonic, Vienna Symphony, l'Orchestre National de France, the NHK Orchestra in Japan and the Atlanta, Cleveland, San Francisco, Dallas, Montreal and Detroit symphonies in North America.
He has given concerts in many of the world's most famous halls including Carnegie Hall and the Lincoln Center in New York, the Kennedy Center in Washington, the Wigmore Hall and South Bank Centre in London, the Musikverein in Vienna, the Dvorak Hall in Prague and the Bunka Kaikan in Tokyo.
The pianist first gained widespread attention in the United States in 1986 with the release of the initial volume of the complete Beethoven Sonata cycle on the Telarc label which was issued as a box set in 1994. CD Review described his performances as "piano recording of the highest caliber and Beethoven playing at its best."
He has made more than 20 recordings for Telarc, including the complete Beethoven Bagatelles (cited by the New York Times as the best recordings of these works) and Mozart Concertos with Sir Charles Mackerras and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. He has also recorded the complete Nocturnes, Sonatas and Concertos of the Irish Composer John Field.

American Family Christmas features concert, carols and Santa Claus
PLAINVIEW -- Wayland Baptist University will present its annual American Family Christmas concert at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 30, in Harral Memorial Auditorium. The concert is always a fun-filled evening of musical performances by several of Wayland's performance groups as well as Christmas Carols sung by those in attendance. Santa Claus will also make a special appearance for the children.
This year's concert will feature performances by the symphonic wind ensemble, directed by Timothy Kelley, the hand bell ensemble and Wayland Singers, under the direction of Robert Black, and the International Choir, conducted by Dr. Scott Herrington.
The evening will open with a combined performance of Irving Berlin's "White Christmas." Audience members will have the opportunity to participate in carol singing throughout the evening, accompanied by student organist Lisa Wiginton, a senior church music major from Lubbock.
Dr. Ann Stutes, chairperson of the Department of Music, said this is always a special event for Wayland's Division of Fine Arts.
"The study and performance of holiday repertoire is an important part of the professional training we provide our music students," Stutes said. "It is rewarding that we can also share the fruits of their work with the community during the holiday season."
Following the concert, children will be able to visit and take pictures with Santa. Photos will be available via email next week.
Admission to the concert is free and open to the public.

Just day after Warren Buffett came out in support of a minimum tax on the wealthy, San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro and his twin brother Joaquin Castro, the newly elected congressman representing District 20, ran into him in New York City.
The Castro twins and Warren Buffett met on Tuesday while taping a segment of The Today Show with Matt Lauer, which will air "around the first of the year," Mayor Castro's Communication Director Jaime Castillo said in an email.
When sharing the photo of their meeting with Buffett with their followers on Facebook and Twitter, the brothers wrote that they were "selling San Antonio to Warren Buffett. He had compliments for USAA."
USAA, United Services Automobile Association, is based in San Antonio and "provides a full range of highly competitive financial products and services to the military and their families."
Buffett also appeared on MSNBC's Morning Joe yesterday, where he continued to advocate for minimum tax on the wealthy and suggested replacing members of the congress.
When asked by Mike Barnicle if he would invest in House of Representatives if it were a private industry, he said, "I think I'd get new management. I wouldn't give up on the country. The country works. It's a wonderful country. And believe me, 535 people aren't going to screw it up forever for 312 million."

When CakeLove founder Warren Brown was a little boy, his father made pancakes for the family on Sunday mornings. There were several recipes, but this one stayed on Brown's mind.
Buckwheat pancakes can be a little harsh and earthy, but these are made mostly with whole-wheat flour, which keeps them kid-friendly.
Servings: 14 Based on 4-inch pancakes
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons lowfat or whole milk, or soy milk, at room temperature
- 4 to 6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 cup whole-wheat flour, sifted
- 1/2 cup buckwheat flour
- 1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons superfine sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or vegetable oil, or as needed
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees, if desired, to keep the finished pancakes warm; have ready a heat-resistant plate.
Combine the milk and lemon juice in a medium bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes. Add the vanilla, if using, and the egg, whisking gently to combine.
Whisk together the flours, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
Gently fold the liquid ingredients into the flour mixture, but don't fully combine them. Let the mixture sit for 3 to 5 minutes; it will thicken.
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once the surface is hot, add 1 teaspoon of the butter or vegetable oil.
Give the batter one last stir to combine. For each pancake, pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan or griddle, spacing the cakes so they do not touch. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes, until the bottoms are browned and the edges appear dry. Turn the pancakes over and cook for 1 minute. Repeat to cook all of the pancakes, adding butter or oil to the pan as needed.
Either serve immediately or transfer the pancakes to the heat-resistant plate and place them in the oven to keep warm while you cook more pancakes. Serve with the pancake topping(s) of your choice.

Rep. Maxine Waters on Friday is expected to be cleared of charges in a Congressional ethics investigation that has spanned three years.
The verdict would clear the way for the California Democrat to pursue the title of top Democrat on the Financial Services Committee as ranking member Barney Frank (D-Mass.) prepares to retire at the end of this Congress.
According to a source familiar with the situation, however, Waters' staff would not be entirely off the hook: Her chief of staff and grandson, Mikael Moore, is likely to be held accountable for breaching House codes of conduct.
The source told Roll Call that when the House Ethics Committee meets in a rare public hearing at 9:15 a.m. Friday, Moore will likely be held accountable for seeking to leverage Waters' influence as a member of the Financial Services panel to aid OneUnited Bank, in which Waters' husband has a stake.
Waters has been facing similar conflict of interest charges since 2009, when the independent Office of Congressional Ethics first took up the case.
Just days before a rare public ethics trial was slated to begin in November 2010, the committee announced it would be sending the case back to the investigative subcommittee "due to materials discovered that may have had an effect on the investigative subcommittee's transmittal."
Shortly thereafter, it was revealed that two staffers were placed on administrative leave and that the former staff director had resigned. Later, internal committee documents published by Politico showed the committee's former staff director thought the staffers' improper behavior had likely compromised the investigation.
The leaked communications raised questions about whether then-Ethics Chairwoman Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) and ranking member Jo Bonner (R-Ala.), who now chairs the committee, had allowed partisanship to affect the committee's investigation.
Waters argued that her due process rights had been violated and that the committee should abandon the charges. In July 2011, the committee hired outside counsel Billy Martin to determine whether committee members and staffers had acted in a way that improperly impacted Waters' case. Martin was asked to determine whether the case should be dropped, restarted or proceed.
Martin's report, released in June of this year, revealed no indication that Waters had been deprived due process in the committee's handling of her case, clearing the way for Friday's conclusion.

As I flipped my Boston Terrier 2012 calendar to August last week, I realized that summer is kind of winding down. Can you believe it? I may have shed a tear at the thought of summer Fridays coming to an end. But then I smiled at the idea of cooler temps. And then I read that this July was the hottest Chicago's had in 57 years and I realized that the temps likely aren't going down anytime soon. Now? I'm in "embrace it" mode. Time to live in the moment and appreciate all of the things there is to love about summer. For us, it's paying special homage to seven products that are so unbelievably summer.
Hawaiian Tropic SPF 30 Lotion Sunscreen is such a nostalgia product, but the "sun safe" version. It's got a protective SPF 30 (option to go up to 50 or down to 12 in this variety) and perfectly captures the essence of the tropics. Bonus points for the moisturizing formula, which keeps your skin looking and feeling smooth while beach/pool-side.
Wouldn't be summer without self-tanner. The surprise hit for me this summer is Tarte Maracuja Self-Tanner. The applicator mitt is both handy and stylish, and the formula is top notch. About as scent-free as you can get and impossible to mess up. I couldn't get a streak from this if I applied this half-asleep. For a really impressive (and believable) bronzy hue, I apply this as the follow-up to my beloved Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Glow Body Pad. Doubling up is the way to go, people!
Stains are a must in the melting months, lest your blush just fall off of your face in three hours. Stila Passion Fruit Lip & Cheek Stain, launched with the brand's summer 2012 collection, is the perfect summer color. It's a pinky coral that leans more orange, less red. With just a few clicks to lips and cheeks, it brightens up the entire face. Bonus points for the fact that the formula includes actual passion fruit extract!
Bath time and hot summers don't quite click, but a girl still needs to relax in the bath. My sanity needs tubby time (+ wine). I swap my candlelight in for something fresh and summery and lower the water temperature by several degrees. The absolute perfect summer candles are from Slatkin & Co., available at Bath & Body Works for major sale right now. I've peppered the refreshing orange blossom and jasmine Beach Cabana scent throughout my home.
Make Up For Ever Aqua Shadow is the best thing to happen to my eye makeup this summer. There's 12 colors — a mix of matte, shimmer, light and dark — and each one is completely waterproof. They just do not budge. If it's in the Aqua line, you know it's going to last. I'm obsessed with shade 20E, a pearly taupe, that looks especially phenom on the lower lash line.
Proof that beauty bloggers know everything. Our pal Beauty Bets raved about Coola Mineral Face Tinted Rose Essence SPF 20 and I picked up a tube right away. And all I can say is WOW. The rose essence is such a nice addition and the formula makes my skin look great. On those 95 degree days, this is really all you need on your face.
I stockpile bars of LUSH Buffy come summertime. It is by far my favorite product to use in the shower in the warmer months. It is part moisturizer, part exfoliator and smells like a fresh vat of shea butter. Skin is left polished from the ground rice, almond and beans. The exfoliants are so fine, that it reminds me of sand. This product just oozes summer.
Your turn! What beauty products define the summer season for you?

It's the perfect Easter. The family is over for dinner, and the Easter baskets are overflowing ... right onto your white carpet. Susie stomps on the chocolate, and then Little Harry knocks over his glass of grape juice.

You need to move fast to keep a spot from becoming a stain.
Michael Sollitto of Aardvark Cleaning in Effort said that when a spill happens, people should tackle it right away, blotting with paper towels.
If the spill is a hot liquid, Sollitto recommends acting quickly before it loosens the nylon and gets into the carpet.
But there's a difference between a spot and a stain.
With a stain you might need the professionals.
"Don't worry about it," said Sollitto. "If the spot is able to come out, we can get it out."
However, when stains settle in, they don't always come out.
"If anybody comes to you and says, 'I can guarantee you I can get a stain out,' that's impossible," Sollitto said.
That said, he has tackled wine stains, grape juice and many other stains with his Host Dry extradition process, a natural absorbent.
When you call carpet cleaners, talk to them about their methods and ask for references. "Carpeting is a big investment. Nowadays it costs thousands and thousands of dollars," Sollitto said.
Sollitto starts with a written estimate. "I like to see the carpet first," he said, but an average to clean carpeting in two rooms is $100 to $125.
People can rent carpet cleaning equipment cheaper, but Sollitto said you will be using 100 percent water and chemicals.
"All of this goes into the carpeting, and when you're finished the carpet is wet," Sollitto said. "Half of that is dirty water in the carpet."
Because of the dirty water, people might have noticed weeks later that the carpet looks dingy again and the stain reappears.
To combat this, Aardvark uses a process called Host Dry Carpet Cleaning Sponges, which work just like a kitchen sponge, dissolving and absorbing dirt.
The natural product is moistened with water and safe cleaning ingredients. Because it's low moisture, it doesn't run into the carpet backing and doesn't require drying time.
A no-water method is more suitable for Berber carpets, Sollitto said. However, once the design is worn down, you can't bring it back. "You can clean the dirt but you can never bring the pattern back."
That's why you shouldn't put Berber in hallways or other heavily traveled areas, Sollitto said.
There is hope for older carpets, but Sollitto said that while a worn-out carpet can be improved, it will never look like new.
Vince Martinez, who owns Trinity Hard Surface Restoration, said his business cleans all types of carpet with care. The standard machines with fast-rotating brushes are not good for Berber or Oriental carpets or ones with a lot of dye or color. "You don't want to hinder the color," Martinez said. He uses a milder detergent in a slower machine.
Biggest challenges are flood marks, water stains or rust stains. Those require different techniques.
Martinez took a recent call about a fruit punch spill on a white carpet. He treated it with stain remover and was able to take an iron over white cloths to steam draw the stain out of the carpet. Then he vacuumed the stain through white cloths.
By the time he was finished, the spill was reduced to a pinkish tone, which was then cleaned with conventional methods.
Martinez chooses green chemicals that are not harmful to humans or animals in his cleaning operations.
He recommends cleaning the carpet once a year, but doesn't mind tackling the dirtier projects. "The dirtier the carpet, the more noticeable a clean carpet is," said Martinez, who charges by the square foot for cleaning carpets.
When the carpet is cleaned, Martinez said customers often remark, "I didn't think it would look that good."
He also cleans upholstery and stairs and has special spot removers for those tough areas. But he cautions, "The longer the stain, the tougher it is to get out."
Same with dirt and grime. "If you vacuum once a week it really helps," Martinez said.

Nissan NX
lasitter Posts: 1I wish I had known about this group earlier, as I've been an avid NX2000 owner since I got mine back in the spring of '93.
Finding a red one, new, with anti-lock brakes and AC meant traveling from North Carolina to Kissimmee, Florida on the overnight Amtrak, but it was well worth the trip.
I also wish I had known how much of a difference getting rid of the Potenza tires would make. The Dunlops have been really fantastic. Car handles like a dream.
Installing Bosch Quadra spark plugs gave it a very surprising extra amount punch in the acceleration department, and I'd tell you that it helped the gas mileage, except that the extra power is, well, quite seductive!
I upgraded the stereo to an Alpine w/CD, and a professionally installed Alpine alarm system as well, but those are the only things that I've changed on it. With Mobile 1 in the crankcase
since day one, she's never had a wrench put on her.
The bad news is that I've had the wife AND the car for the same length of time, and even though it's driving great at 85,000 miles, she's been on my case to sell it and get something more
'family oriented'.
My sense is that these cars will certainly be collector cars one day, but I have no idea where to find the kinds of drivers / collectors most likely to appreciate it or what to expect $$$
Recent experiences / tips from the group greatly appreciated.

mmacmillan Posts: 1Just bought a fun car for my son, it is in great condition and got it at a great price. By the posts I see here I am lucky to have found this gem, my son and I we just looking for a car for him and he wouldn't look at anything else after he saw it. I have been trying to find an after market seller of some parts for the car (internet), fuse box cover, tonneau cover, drivers side pull handle and some trim pieces for the door / window molding. Does anybody have any ideas besides going to the dealer and paying through the nose, also any other forums so I can learn more about I would of loved to have at my son's age. Son thinks I am going to steal it from him, but I like my 2000 sporty mid-size (v6, sun roof, spoiler) Sonata just fine, though I WILL borrow the NX at times.0
dhoff Posts: 282You might have trouble finding trim pieces for this car, other than at a dealer. There just weren't many made.
There is a "auto recycler" (junkyard) that specalizes in Nissan & Infiniti parts in Florida. It's called Gator something-ot-other. Do a seatch for it on the net and you will find it. They would be your best bet.
Anyone out there know what a 1993 NX 2000 in excellent condition with 105K miles (original owner)is worth?
Any help would be appreciated!
In addition to the feedback here, be sure to check out Edmunds.com's Used Vehicle Appraiser? Good luck. ;-)

imtoad Posts: 2I totalled my '91 NX20000 and I want to buy another. I've noticed that some are automatics and since I mostly just drive in city traffic which has left me wishing for an automatic for a long time now, I was wondering if the automatics had adequate (I know it's not the same) power? Also, are there any differences in the '92 and '93 models that I should be aware of? If I can only find dark colors, I will probably want to paint it because I hate the heat. How much (ball park) will a respectable paint job cost? Thanks,H0
My friend's '91 was different than my '93 in the following areas:
the '91 body had a gray rub strip around the middle; the '93's are same color as body.
the '91 seat materials seemed "nicer" than the '93's.
the '91 had stiffer OEM shocks than the '93's (doesn't matter now cuz they've undoubtedly beeen replaced)
The '91 steering wheel was real leather; the '93's was fake leather.
There may be other diffs but can't think of anything now.0

snaptab Posts: 21Thought I'd throw in my two cents worth on the NX2000. What a great car! I owned a 93 model for 2 years, then my daughter talked me out of it. She's been driving it the past 4 years with no problems at all. The car is a black, automatic with T-tops, currently has 115,000 miles and still going strong. Only repairs have been front half shafts, front rotors and thermostat, that's it. Car has been super reliable and still drives and looks almost new.
It's a shame Nissan doesn't build them anymore!
My advise to all is if you can find one used, buy it quick before someone else does.0
verozahl Posts: 574Recently, I saw two 1993 NXs in excellent condition... black NX1600 and a white NX2000.
Interiors look very functional, clean exterior design. Fast little sport compacts!0
wowdudecool38 Posts: 1i have a 1993 nissan nx 1.6 and i wanted to put a 2.0 in it i was wondering if i needed to change the wireing and if my trany would line up with it.0
thecarbuff Posts: 7are these good, realiable cars for a daily driver, or are they born lemons? a few words of advise0
moredock Posts: 1I have a 1991 NX-2000, which I bought after seeing the car at the LA Auto Show that year. It has 120K miles, zero rust, still as frisky as the day I bought it, a beautiful three coat Mercedes silver paint job thanks to my nephew the body man, and, alas, a slight ripple along the driver's side where I was hit by a deer while doing 90 on the NY Northway. The car is with me now in FL and refuses to grow old, though some of the T-top moldings are getting a bit brittle. The Sentra engine is like Dracula, it won't die unless you put a wooden stake through its radiator. If you find one, buy it. If Porsche ever built a car Joe the Plumber could afford, this would be it.0
PF_Flyer Pennsylvania Furnace, PAPosts: 9,098Amen on the Sentra engines. I ran my last two over 235,000 miles each and I know one of them is still running, not quite sure about the other.

flbadgers Posts: 1I have a 92 NX2000 that I replaced the engine in. There is a small ground wire attached to driver's side engine wall near the carbon canister. Can someone tell me where this attaches to? I also have a problem with the car starting (it cranks but doesn't fire). Has anyone had a similiar problem?
Thank you.
darkangel999 Posts: 1Hello to all of you here My name is Sinohe Im a 22 year old guy from mexico,Im a new member,i recently bought a 1993 Nissan 1600NX with 80.000 miles for the amount of $300 bucks and most and unbelievable in payments of $50 bucks a month well i like this car a lot i think it's great even tough mine doesn't have the T-Tops and it's not running at the moment cause the previous owner fell into a pothole and broke the driveshaft,the gear-shift rod and the steering fork and also a part of the left fender and the car also has no wheels on it still im'ma fix it very soon cause the engine is running more than perfect and the repairs are easy,fast and affordable and about a problem of one of the other guys and it's NX that wont start i can only suggest simple things of the probable cause 1-get a scanner tool and run a quick scan on the car's sensors,2-check the distributor cap and rotor along with the spark plugs and cables, 3- check the fuel pump,pump relay,filter and fuses and,4-finallly check the engine timing or maybe if your car had a security alarm device check the computer and other circuits cause it's common on nissans to fail if this were modified of installed unnapropiately this is all i know good-bye talk to ya soon0
mbardera Posts: 3I also have a Nissan Nx1600, husband wrecked it, driver's front corner. I believe it can be fixed. Car means alot to me since it was my deceased daughter's car! I'm getting it fixed this summer. I had made a mistake and bought a blue Nissan Nx2000, love the car but it's not my black Nissan Nx1600. Selling the blue one to my nephew, this will be his 'first car'.0

Thankfully, I do not have any dietary restrictions except the obvious self-imposed one of avoiding meat, poultry and seafood. Still, I do enjoy gluten-free options and like to offer up gluten-free recipes for my readers who do suffer from food allergies. When I saw this recipe for gluten-free honey, lemon and poppy seed cake at Lucullian Delights, I immediately decided to try it. It was a perfect dessert to end a special meal I prepared last Friday. It's easy to prepare and is sweetened with a bit of honey.

HOUSTON - A former youth minister appeared in a Harris County courtroom Friday on charges of soliciting a teenager online.
Investigators said Chad Foster, 33, first met the 14-year-old girl when he worked as a youth minister at Second Baptist Church in Houston. The communications continued when Foster later became a youth minister at The Community of Faith Church in northwest Harris County, authorities said.
"If you're a person who does a lot of fishing, where do you go? You go to the water where the fish are. Same with predators," said Sgt. Gary Spurger of the Precinct 4 Constable's Office.
The teen said she and Foster exchanged phone numbers and then sent more than 15,000 text messages in 11 months. Investigators said the two also communicated on Facebook and Skype. Foster is accused of exposing himself using Skype's live video feed.
"It's a serious crime. Every time you exploit a child, that's serious, no matter how you look at it," Spurger said.
Foster's latest charge is online solicitation. He is also charged with three counts of sexual assault of a child in a previous case involving a 16-year-old girl.
Investigators said Foster no longer works for a church.
In court, Judge Jeannine Barr warned Foster to stay at least 1,000 feet away from schools and other areas frequented by children.
"My client has no comment today," Foster's attorney said.
Investigators believe there could be other victims. Detectives said, so far, all of the tips have been tied to girls at Second Baptist Church.
"There's some people we've heard want to come forward, but haven't done so yet," Spurger said.
If you need to report a case, call 281-401-6228.

Cyclosporine is an immunosuppressant used in organ transplants to overcome rejection. Following the transplant of a heart, liver, kidney or lung, a patient must be regularly tested for the rest of their lives. Blood testing intervals vary from 1 month to 6 months and this rapid reference method is ideal for batch tests with the advantage of no metabolite interfer-ence which is always found in immunological methods.

The removal of interferences and sample concentration are
essential steps in trace level detection of pesticides, sheep
dips, herbicides and PCBs in river water, wastewaters and
trade effluents. The following methods were developed by
the Environment Agency National Laboratory Service facility
at Nottingham using the Biotage RapidTrace for automated
solid phase extraction and the TurboVap II for evaporation.
The procedures are UKAS accredited and can reach detection
limits of 0.001 ug/Litre for some compounds.

The use of schedule I drugs for patient pain management therapy warrants constant monitoring of therapeutic levels in the patient. Screening patient urine samples for the free drugs is complicated by the metabolism process which converts the free drug to the -glucuronide form. Patient urine samples can be enzymatically hydrolyzed to cleave glucuronide moiety and produce the free form of drug. The target analytes can them be extracted from the urine matrix using EVOLUTE CX solid phase extraction cartridges. LOQs range from 5 ng/mL to 0.5 ng/mL with recoveries above 80% and RSD <10%

In order to keep your RapidTrace® workstation clean, in good working order and free from contamination it is of course essential to
routinely clean and purge the fluid path. Whichever matrix and reagents are running through the system, traces of these liquids will
be left after use; proteins from plasma, precipitates from buffers or even particulates from oral fluid. Over time if the following
cleaning schedule is not observed these contaminants could cause blockages leading to malfunctions and/or cross contamination.

My SPE technique is RapidTrace+. Is it possible to apply bigger sample volume (1000 mL) without prior evaporation?
The maximum sample volume in standard operational mode is 40 mL limited to a 5.8 mL load each time. This is limited by the sample vial size and will only give you a 5 sample capacity.
Loading 40 mL of sample will be achieved by 6 x 5.8 mL then an additional 5.2 mL.
If you were to use one of the reagent lines as a source and use the condition function then it is possible to load more sample contained in an external vessel onto the SPE column via the reagent line. You will only be able to process a limited number of samples as dictated by other parameters within your SPE method as they will use reagent lines. Additionally you will not be able to load 1000 mL as you are limited by programming lines in a particular extraction procedure.
Essentially the RapidTrace is not really the right tool for the job. You would be better off considering the Biotage® Horizon 5000 depending on your application http://www.biotage.com/product-page/biotage-horizon-5000Browse more questions and answers >

You can look at the translated .po files to see if a string is present and has been translated. For example, here's a portion of l10n/de/messages/kdebase/konqueror.po:
#: konq_mainwindow.cc:3707 konq_tabs.cc:84 msgid "&New Tab" msgstr "Neues &Unterfenster"
The string to be translated is given on the msgid line. The translated string is on the msgstr line. Notice that the exact same string to translate came from konq_mainwindow.cc and also from konq_tabs.cc. This saves the translators from having to translate the same identical string twice.
You can also use KBabel to examine .po files. KBabel is part of the kdesdk module.

Moons Meddle in Jupiter's Aurora main content.
by AMNH on
Like Earth, Jupiter has auroras that gleam at its poles—a result of the planet's magnetic field interacting with energetic particles streaming from the Sun. In recent years astronomers have noticed that Ganymede and Io, two of Jupiter's moons, each add their own personal stamp to the planet's auroras.
In this ultraviolet image from HST, Jupiter's aurora is visible. Jupiter's larger moons produce electric currents which interact with Jupiter's magnetic field, resulting in emissions that flow through the aurorae as the moons revolve around the planet.

After execute all steps from this pgRouting tutorial, now I have a map that creates and displays routes, but as the routing methods rely on parameters representing vertex Ids that was created using osm2pgrouting, my route always starts either after or before the place I selected on the map, and ends on the same way.. after or before the place it should end.
We all know that there are tools that are based on pgrouting, that displays the route ending and starting exactly where the user clicked, not in the nearest node.
I was wondering if there is a way to create more nodes between the current ones, so I would reduce the distance between nodes to few meters, what would fix it, or if there is another solution to my issue..
Thank you in advance!
