This theme was somewhat inspired by the long dead Marquee theme and the original Apple firmware. The status bar is heavily based on the built in one (as it's fairly decent to begin with). Named after the Chicago font (Nimbus on Rockbox). The WPS is based on the Apple firmware including a volume bar. The status bar and title bar are on every screen for a consistent user interface. The status bar icons auto stack from the right and left sides as they are enabled/disabled so there are no gaps. The status bar can be rearranged. See included readme (in Theme folder). Any new icon has been drawn by me. Battery charging and disk access icons are animated too. The new use the two shades of grey available to the iPod LCD (not realy visible in the screen shots) There is an FM screen although I've only tested on the simulator as I don't have an FM remote.

Release information
In Japan, this card was originally released as a promotional card. It was available through the Pokémon Card Fan Club from April 2000 onwards. In order to obtain it, players had to earn a total of 600 GET Points. This version differs from its Neo Revelation counterpart by having the same embossed foil treatment that would be later featured on the Shining Pokémon in Neo Destiny, and no rarity symbol.
Many sources, including the Japanese official Pokémon card database, list the promotional version of this card as being released in May 2001, whereas it was actually made available at or around the same time as the other Fan Club promotional cards.
This card depicts Magikarp's Shiny form from the Pokémon games. This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Gold.

Though it may not intend to, with its title The Ultimate Relaxation Christmas Album addresses one of the biggest paradoxes of the holiday season: ideally, it should be one of the most joyous and relaxing times of the year, but thanks to shopping for gifts, social obligations, and heightened expectations, too often the holidays become stressful instead of pleasant. This collection of soothing instrumental and choral holiday favorites aims to restore some serenity to the season, and on at least one level, it succeeds; the gentle renditions of "O Holy Night," "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," and "The Christmas Waltz" have soft, lush arrangements that are definitely relaxing. However, the arrangements skirt dangerously close to the sappy, string-laden territory of Mantovani, 101 Strings, and countless other easy listening instrumentalists, and the cutesy harp, piano, and xylophone flourishes on many of the tracks threaten to push the album into kitsch. Of course, the Christmas albums by Mantovani, 101 Strings, and the like were hugely popular, and this album's nod to those sweetly bland holiday releases of the past could be intentional, adding to the built-in nostalgia that the season evokes. In some ways, the retro feeling of The Ultimate Relaxation Christmas Album is more refreshing -- and yes, relaxing -- than the new age-tinged holiday albums that may very likely sound nostalgic a few decades down the road. The purely choral selections are simpler and more dignified than most of the intstrumentals on the album, though a few of the orchestral tracks later in the album lose some of the more obvious easy listening tendencies. An ultra-traditional collection, The Ultimate Relaxation Christmas Album could be either stuffy or comforting, depending on your taste in holiday music and, quite possibly, how much eggnog you've had. ~ Heather Phares

Blogs: All Sports Baseball Football Basketball Hockey Golf
Catcher � Ivan Rodriguez � Selecting Pudge over Victor Martinez might be the worst decision of all. How about a whopping .190 OPS advantage for V-Mart? I-Rod�s 41:4 K:BB ratio is almost embarrassing. The people who made this vote probably also came away from �The Sopranos� finale thinking Tony wasn�t whacked. �How can you be so obtuse?� (Again, bonus points for catching that reference � this time it�s a movie). First Base � David Ortiz � The fact he�s only played seven games at first base this season doesn�t bother me too much. Justin Morneau is the obvious alternative. Second Base � Placido Polanco � Well, he�s tough to strike out, and Joe Morgan says he �plays the game the right way.� (Just once, I�d like to hear someone get called out for playing it the �wrong way.�) Anyway, Brian Roberts would have been the correct choice here. Third Base � Alex Rodriguez � A-Rod has a legitimate chance of reaching 162 RBI this season. Shortstop � Derek Jeter � Again, nitpicking, but Carlos Guillen is having the superior season offensively. Interesting stat to note: Jeter is just 7-for-14 in stolen base attempts this season. Outfield � Magglio Ordonez � No argument here. What a remarkable turnaround that I certainly didn�t see coming. Outfield � Ichiro Suzuki � Sporting the best walk rate of his career, Ichiro is looking at a monster contract this offseason. Grady Sizemore is right there with him as deserving starters in center field. Outfield � Vladimir Guerrero � The right choice. A few notes on the AL reserves: Not a whole lot to argue about here, but Gary Sheffield absolutely deserves to be on the team. Michael Young wins out in the battle of attrition in Texas, while Gil Meche does the same in Kansas City. Dan Haren has had a fine season, but it�s Johan Santana who deserves to take the ball in the first inning. Santana�s 2.76 ERA is the best mark of his career during a season�s first half. If he�s not the most valuable fantasy player this season (Jose Reyes), he�s the second best.

32 powerline adapters round-up: internet from your power grid 500Mbps powerline adapters have arrived and are here to stay. If you also should buy one of those, depends on your needs. For simple networks a 200Mbps model is fast enough. But if your network is quite busy, then the extra bandwidth of the 500Mbps models comes in very handy. The difference in price between 200Mbps and 500Mbps models is still so significant, that it's definitely worth taking this into consideration. Over larger distances and with interference, it's less noticeable whether you have an adapter with a theoretical maximum speed of 200Mbps or 500Mbps. http://uk.hardware.info/reviews/3579...our-power-grid |

There are no audience votes and no Friday-night evictions on Priest Idol. No one has to pray in front of a caustic panel of judges. But, like all reality TV, there is a central conceit: how to save a dying Anglican church.
And there is also a leading player, a new vicar, the Rev James McCaskill. Most importantly, there is a team of experts charged with turning the church around.
The television cameras followed the trials of St Mary Magdalene's church in Lundwood, Barnsley, from September 2004 to September this year.
In past decades there had been as many as four thriving churches in Lundwood. But, in the early 21st century, the future for Lundwood's Christian community looked bleak. In September 2004 St Mary's church was regularly attracting a mere seven worshippers on a Sunday morning. A year later, the church is thriving. Now, as many as 50 parishioners stream through its doors.
The project began last year, when an independent production company called Diverse became interested in seeing if a new priest could turn Lundwood around. Diverse approached the diocese of Wakefield with their proposition and the diocese, aware that St Mary's was struggling, accepted. But an advertisement for a new vicar in The Church Times garnered only one application, from a diminutive, softly spoken American.
Mr McCaskill said he accepted the job after visiting the church. "I was interested in going someplace where the church could make a big difference in the community," he said, "and the advertisement read in such a way that I felt like the diocese was going to help me out."
He used to work in a church in a rich suburb of Pittsburgh and, when he arrived in Lundwood, he had problems acclimatising. He did not understand the Yorkshire accent and he had no congregation to speak of. The church was suffering from dry rot and graffiti such as "Fuck God" and "White is Right" adorned its walls.
The vicar lobbied the community to give his services a try, but to no avail. "A lot of people had goodwill towards the church", he said, "but they had no desire to come in. Walking down the street, they'd ask me how it was all going, and tell me to keep up the good work. But they'd say: 'You'll never find me in there.' Somewhere in the English mindset, people have been inoculated against church. I don't know whether that was at Sunday school as a kid, or whether it's the Church of England as an institution that's put them off, or whether they see church as a place for old folks - cut off from contemporary society."
Priest Idol's producer, Jane Beckwith, said she was worried about the presence of her cameras. "I was concerned a 'Songs of Praise effect' would kick in," she said. "That the church would fill up with TV wannabees. But I needn't have worried. Nothing, it seemed, was going to get people into church."
To help Mr McCaskill make St Mary's relevant to the community again the television crew brought in two experts - a singing coach and a comedian - to add pep to his sermons. His archdeacon, Jonathan Greener, also got in touch with Propaganda, a Leeds-based marketing team.
"Without a shadow of a doubt it was the marketing brief from hell," Steve Dixon, executive creative director of Propaganda, said. "Many people have tried and failed to successfully market the church. We were a bit frightened. This was God's last stand in Lundwood."
Mr McCaskill and the marketing team found that the community had grievances ranging from the building's shape, to incomprehension of the liturgy, to dislike for religion. Propaganda decided to rename St Mary's "CHURCHLite", with the strap: "It's better for you." The tactic succeeded, increasing congregations by 800 per cent in a year.
Howeverthe church is still not attracting teenagers. "This is a generation in England who have never stepped foot inside a church. It's a scary place to them," Mr McCaskill said. "I think I've been building good relationships with teenagers. I've been amazed by how many of them knock on my door for a chat. But I have nothing to invite them to. I'd like to do something with light and sound, something that reflects the fact that their lives are dominated by pop culture."
Mr McCaskill said: "I'd like to change when services are, what we do on Sunday morning, what people see when they come in off the street. I want to say it's not church as usual - because church as usual doesn't work."

Career stats | |
James Earl "J.D." Williams (born March 30, 1967 in Osceola, Arkansas) is a former professional American football player who was selected by the Buffalo Bills in the first round of the 1990 NFL Draft. Before College, Williams was a Running Back Defensive Back that played for the Horned Toads of Coalinga High School. At 5'10", 185-lb. defensive back from Fresno State University, Williams played in 6 NFL seasons from 1990 to 1994 and 1996 for the Bills, Arizona Cardinals, and San Francisco 49ers.
Williams was most notable for being the first player on the Buffalo Bills squad to don the number 31, which had been "retired" to represent the spirit of the franchise. Since Williams donned the number, the Bills have allowed anyone to wear the 31 jersey; it was later worn by Dwayne Wright, who coincidentally like Williams, went to Fresno State. Jairus Byrd wore the number before becoming a free agent; ironically, Byrd had to change to 31 because his college number, 32, was unofficially retired because of O. J. Simpson.

94 K1500 affordable suspension lift options.
The truck I just purchased has a 3" body lift to accommodate 33" tires. I hate the look of the body lift. What are my options for suspension lift that won't break the bank? I don't want to drop $1500-2k on a lift kit.
I understand that cranking the torsion keys are frowned upon but how bad is it really? Could I get enough out of it to clear the tires without effecting the 4wd ? Rear Blocks? Yes or no? Rear helper springs maybe? |

Fuck Cancer!
You shouldn't need a body lift to put 33"s on that pickup. My brother's 97 tahoe didn't have any issues (except front mudflaps) with 33"s on it.
Take the body lift out, stay away from blocks by all means necessary. Helper springs or add-a-leaf in the back and if you need to, give the torsion bars a little bit of a turn. This tahoe has helpers in the back, because EVERY gmt400 suv I have dealt with (and half tons for that matter) sags. I picked up the 3 leaf helpers from JC whitney (2500#?) and put them on. Torsion bars are set at factory height. |

Road Rage is FUN!
I have airbags in the back of my K1500 and with the torsion bars jacked up I could easily clear 33's. This lift will cost you less than $200 and it looks better then a body lift!
The only problem is the ride is ROUGH! You will have no give in your suspension if you turn the torsion key to far and it is not a fun ride if you go offroad. |

Road Rage is FUN!
That might work. I just lowered mine a little to stop the rough ride. I did get a really squeeky ride for a week or two after lowering it. I figured the squeek came from the shocks being extended for a few years and fixed it with some WD40 and a trip through my favorite mud hole.
I think the rough ride comes from the tension on your torsion bar and not the shock extension. I am sure there is someone on here that knows more about it then I do. |

Fun with Fondant
Decorating with fondant is something I've been wanting to try for a while, but I was kind of intimidated. I didn't know where to begin.
Have you ever felt like that with something? Like just it seemed too overwhelming, so you didn't bother?
Well I got one of those 'daily deal' type of things that we were talking about last week for a 3-hour fondant class at a local bakery, and I knew this was the perfect opportunity to give it a shot.
I took the class with my friend Danielle from work, and we learned all sorts of interesting things about this decorative technique from the owner of the bakery, Francesca.
The best part was that we got to try it ourselves, and then take our mini-cake home with us.
Even Mr. Vittles (who knows and cares little about food) was pretty impressed with the final product.
So this is more an informational post than a recipe. I would like to share with you the basics I learned, especially if you are like me and find the whole idea of fondant to be both intriguing and mystifying.
(If you are an old pro at this, stop here. This is my first go-around with fondant so everything seemed interesting to me - but I doubt it will to you.)
When we got to the class, we each had a work station set up with two 7" layers of vanilla cake and a scoop of chocolate buttercream. We also had a toolkit with an offset spatula, a plastic fondant rolling pin, a small round cookie cutter, a small cup of shortening, a pastry wheel-cutter, and a 'puff' made of cheesecloth with cornstarch in it, secured with a rubber band.
Francesca wanted us to use the buttercream (homemade by the bakery) as the filling of the cake, so we spread it on the bottom layer and placed the other layer on top. Then she gave us white buttercream to lightly ice the entire outside of the cake - fondant cannot stick to a dry cake, it needs the layer of buttercream to stay in place.
Once the entire cake was iced (in a very thin, even layer) we got to work on softening the fondant. And here's where everything became foreign to me.
First of all, I always thought people made the fondant before they assembled the cake. And though I'm sure plenty of people do, Francesca actually recommended we purchase the fondant ready-made. As she put it "For your first cake at home, you may want to try to make your own fondant - and then I'm fairly certain you will never make it again."
Hmm. This lady seemed to know her stuff, so fair enough. 'No making of the fondant.' Got it.
She recommended the brand Ballina, which is from somewhere in South America, because she said it is a good consistency for beginners. Not too hard and not too soft. According to her, the South Americans are masters at fondant?
However I was having trouble finding this brand for purchase online, or at least in small quantities. But I believe she said Satin Ice was also good.
In her opinion, the most popular (or at least the most readily-available) brand, Wilton, is not too tasty and also tough to work with (a couple of fondant veterans in the class attested to that as well). So I guess I'll try to stay clear of that.
Anyway, she gave us each a package of white fondant and we had to break the 'brick' in two pieces to make it easier to soften. Unless you're a masseuse or something, this process is pretty tough on your hands. You have to grease up your digits with some vegetable shortening, then knead it into the fondant until it's soft & easy to work with. (If you get a little too shortening-happy, you can always fix a sticky fondant with some cornstarch or confectioners sugar, so no worries).
Once you get your fondant nice & soft, you can color it if you want. (FYI - you may want to wear gloves when working with the gel food coloring. And make sure you grease up the gloves with shortening as well). First we tried for a marble look, where you put little dots of coloring all over the piece you want to color, then twist it & smush it together until the color swirls throughout the fondant.
You can also just keep working the fondant until it becomes a solid color.
Or, if you don't want to bother coloring the fondant yourself, many companies sell it already colored. And if you want a bold color like black or red, Francesca said it's a must to buy the fondant pre-colored. Otherwise you will have to use so much of the gel coloring that it actually degrades the structure of the fondant.
Once we got our fondant colored, it was time to roll it. We dusted our surface area with plenty of cornstarch and placed the fondant in the middle.
Now if you're a baker your first instinct here will be to roll back & forth like you would cookie dough or pie crust.
But no.
This is bad. It weakens your fondant and makes it tear. So you want to place your fondant rolling pin in the middle of the fondant and roll outward - one stroke at a time.
Roll out from the middle, then return to the middle and roll into another direction. Gently and evenly, so the thickness is the same throughout. And if your cake is a circle, you want to roll the fondant into a circular shape that's a little bigger than the diameter of the cake plus twice the height.
(For example, our cakes were 7" in diameter and 3" in height. So we rolled our circles to about 15").
Once we got it rolled, the tricky part was getting it onto the cake. Unfortunately it seemed there is really no good way to do this. Since our cakes were small, I just picked it up and plopped it on the top, which seemed to work fine at that size. But if you have a big sheet of fondant, I would guess you need to roll it loosely around the rolling pin and then unroll it onto the cake.
For any of us whose piece was much bigger than the cake we then had to trim the excess from the bottom - otherwise the fondant will start to get weighed down & tear.
Then we had to smooth it to the top & sides of the cake. Francesca's advice was to get it smoothed on the top, then work around the side by pulling the fondant up & away from the side of the cake (to avoid pleating) and then smoothing it down. (As you work your way around you will get to a point where you have so much extra that you feel like there's no way you can get it to smooth. But you can. Just do it.)
Once the sides were smooth, there was still excess fondant at the bottom, so then we had to take our wheel cutters around the bottom edge to clean things up. You want it to be tight against the cake.
After that, we smoothed the cake more using fondant smoothers. You need two - one to hold the cake in place (on the top), and the other to smooth around the sides. Otherwise you will end up touching the cake with your hands and leaving fingerprints on it! The smoothers are pretty simple, just glide back & forth across the surface. This should smooth out any dings or bumps in the fondant, but for those of us that had serious difficulties we took a little shortening on one fingertip to try & smooth the imperfections out.
Then came the fun part - decorations.
We got to use our leftover pieces of fondant to roll & cut out shapes or sculpt flowers. I decided to make mine simple, with three roses on top, a couple leaves, and some dainty tendrils.
Since I was making flowers that needed hold their shape, I had to turn the fondant into gum paste by kneading in a powder called Gum Tragacanth (sold as CAI Tylose Powder). This made the piece of fondant stiffer and drier.
To attach my shapes to the cake, I used a dab or two of water but Francesca actually recommended using a little vodka - it attaches the fondant to itself well, but evaporates quickly due to the alcohol. (And by hour 2 of working with fondant you may need to take a shot of it as well? Just saying).
Once we got the top and/or sides decorated, we had to finish the bottom edge where we cut the fondant. She suggested either placing small beads or balls at the base (like I did) or rolling pieces of fondant into ropes & braiding them together.
And then... we were done! We placed the cakes in our boxes and headed home to marvel at our creations.
And eat them, of course.
A few tips for fondant storage- if you have any unused fondant left over, you can coat it in a layer of shortening, then wrap it well in plastic wrap and stick it in a ziploc bag. Francesca said it will keep for months like this without drying out.
Also, for the cake itself, when you are choosing your flavor for filling make sure it's not something that needs to be refrigerated (like chocolate mousse, whipped cream, or pudding). Fondant cannot be refrigerated because water is it's worst enemy - you don't want condensation ruining your beautiful masterpiece, now do you?
By the way - if I have any occasions in the near future to make a fondant cake, I will try to add some photos of the process. I didn't take pictures until I got home, so all I can show you is the finished product.
Sorry :(
But tell me ... have any of you worked with fondant in the past? What do you think?
So much fun, or too much work?
I'm really glad I tried it, and I had a great time. But I also don't think I'll be quitting my day job to start making fondant cakes any time soon. Special occasions only!

Parents are a very important part of their child's education process.
In our schools administration programs, there is always room for the input of parents to guide the schools in their daily operations. Most parents take their child's education for granted. They should know that MPS invites parents to become part of the planning programs of the schools. PTA is one way of doing this process. Scouting is another way of being involved. When the school administartors get together on long range planning sessions, parents are allowed to get their input at these meetings. The only things discussed behind closed doors, are personnel issues that have limited responses from school administrators. All of the other meetings are done out in the open for all people to be able to listen to and give opinions on. Most meetings take place at the Milwaukee Public School Administration building in the auditorium. These meetings are broadcast on WYMS at 88.9 on the FM radio dial. The monthly board meetings are also broadcast on Warner Cable Channel 14 in the City of Milwaukee. Become involved in your child's education and become aware of things happening down at MPS. Remember, you can add your input at the meetings if you desire to do so. The more input you have in these matters, the better the education process for your child in their schools. Contact your local school board representative and find out the schedule of these school board meetings. Contact your school principal to find out about meetings at your child's school. Please consider taking the time to learn of these meetings and participate in them if possible. Your child will benefit from this in their future. Be a leader and show us the way to do things.

That is sheer madness: adding a second excessive regulator because the first one is already oversized. Using the right part in the first place is much more effective and simpler than all these half-baked solutions

It's sad to see the lenght some people would go just to get the last word, just to be the ones that are right... it is verry dissapointing to see that in stead of trying to really help the ones in need, some people prefere to just dissagree with other, just for the fun of it, hell yeah, we are waaaay better than the others why should we bother beying civilised? our role should alway be to cast aside anyone stranger to our grup no matter what the reason, even if that means looking for a needle in a hay stack, sooner or later we will find a hole on he's boath and so a good enough reason to just hunt him down no matter what...
Sad, and dissapointing... i had wanted to show something way better than anything you can do with this tipe of regs, much more precise, but as i see some people can never be satisfied cus they do not want to... why bother? it is obvious something wrong will be found in anything i say so the hell with it... All the best wishez too all of you, even to you @Elvee, honest

@dietnews there are litteraly loads and loads of ways to go, linear or switching, you first have to make sure what you need the most, what you want the unit to be used for, do you need preccision voltage regulation, preccision current limmiting, low ripple and/or noise line... make up your mind exactly what you want and what compromise you would be able to make, then it will be werry easy to choose the way to go.

Re: And now it's Brazil.
There's a song called, "Where do the children play?", sung by the singer then called Cat Stevens before he converted to Islam and changed his name.
Look it p on YouTube to hear it,
It's based on a true incident that occurred when the then newly built capitol of Brazillia was being proudly shown by the government to a host of foreign dignitaries as the new capitol of Brazil.
They proudly showed the new business offices, the new shopping malls, and even the gleaming new school buildings for the children.
One of the people being shown the new city was a women; the then minister of children's affairs.
She asked the government spokesmen this question:
She said, "I've seen the shopping malls, the office buildings, and even your schools. There all very impressive. But I haven't seen any playgrounds in the schools
But what I don't see is any playgrounds in those new schools for the children that go there.
So, please tell me, where do the children play?"
She was right, there where no playgrounds for the students to play in those schools..
The government that built those shiny new schools hadn't thought about the children needing a place to play.
It wasn't in their planning.
They never considered such a thing then.
Now Brazil is planning for an Olympics next year with millions of visitors expected for that Olympic spectacle.
But the road system to get those visitors there is already poor and overloaded.
And they didn't allocate any money to improve it for the tourist crowds expected for the Olympics.
So the same question can be asked now,
"Tell me, where do your children play?"
Shame on you Shakyamuni for setting the precedent of leaving home.

Good sheet mask for calming irritated acne-prone skin
Amongst the sheet masks that I've tried from multitude of Korean brands, this is one of the better ones that I'd say really works. This particular mask is great for calming down irritated acne-prone skin, it is packed full of goodness and it doesn't break me out. I like how it leaves the skin feeling cool and hydrated altogether without being too sticky to handle. My only complaint would be the price, really. Wish it's a little more affordable!

Love it!
Love all leaders mask and this one is specifically my favourite. Works wonders on blackheads and soothes angry spots. Filled with enough serum/ essence for face and neck. Leaves the skin hydrated, plum and brighter.

Awesome mask
My skin feels changed after this mask. it has instant effects - plumps the skin and makes it smooth, and i do not observe any irritation after using the mask. The material is also very good and clings to the skin without being too drippy or hard to handle.

Brilliant sheet mask
I really love this sheet mask. It comes packed with serum and is so soothing and relaxing to put on. My skin felt very moisturised and soft for days after I've used it. This is the first product I've tried from this brand, and I'm looking forward to giving their other masks a go!

Another favourite from Leaders
Another go-to mask from Leaders because of AHA and BHA which helps exfoliate and renew skin. I have acne prone skin and it's soothes acne while keeping the skin hydrated as well. AHA and BHA content is mild so should be suitable for most skin types!

Okay mask
The mask came really drenched and sticky, which wasn't very pleasant. I would have preferred less product on the mask. I feel that this mask didn't really do much for my acne or reduce my pimples, so I wouldn't recommend this product.

Love it
The mask is pure awesome! It made my skin feels extremely smooth and nice. I used it before I go to bed and when I wake up, my skin doesn't feel dry or oily. Usually face masks will make my skin oily when I wake up on the next day. Will definitely re-purchase this and will try the other types!

Good but expensive!
Super liked this mask but it's a bit expensive just for 1 pc. I have to say it gives the skin a moisture booster when I was living in a dry cold place aside from it calmed my irritated skin due to the change of weather

Hard to go back to cheaper ones after Leaders
This was the first Leaders mask I tried, and I immediately thought, 'Well, this was a mistake. Now I have to keep buying Leaders masks.' The mask fits so well on my face and was incredibly saturated with solution. My skin felt gloriously hydrated. Has definitely got me hooked on the brand.

One of the better masks in the market
The mask is soaked with essence and fits will onto the face. Smells pleasant without overwhelming chemical smell. Has been using it regularly for acne issues. Seems like brand is established in Korea.

I think she was a comedian and her stage name was Marie Dressler.
She looks like a funny person in the photo!!! - SmartGirl 1953April 17, 2009 at 11:01 AM
My first childhood friend was named Marie. She lived down the street from me and we met on the first day of kindergarten.
We were the only two kids in the class who cried when we were left there.
My mother knew her aunt (who raised her), and after that first day we walked to school together every day until we moved when I was 12.
She now lives in Colorado, and I still talk to her every couple of weeks or so. It gives me a nice connection to my past. LOVE the hat!! And another nod to Marie! What fun!
Ms. Koerber/Dressler was a true Patriot, selling millions of dollars worth of war bonds during WWI while crossing the country at her own expense.
Prior to vaudeville, she was a successful musical comedic star on stage. Charlie Chaplin was an unknown when she handpicked him for the cast of her first and hugely successful movie,Tillie's Punctured Romance, as a character she played with rave reviews on stage years earlier. Five more Tillie movies followed.
I really like the reports of Ms. Koerber/Dressler. She reminds me of my grandmother(1901-1974)in form and humor. I'm sure Grandma Mae probably saw the Tillie movies. I know she had a hat like that!And the trend continues. Too bad I woke up "late". It is 6 am here!
This is Marie Dressler. And the photo is the one on her entry in Wikipedia.
I recommend that you folks rent and watch "Min and Bill", for which she recieved the Academy Award for Best Actress (1930). It's a very dated film, but watch the interaction between her and Wallace Beery who plays Bill.
BTW, she did the best doubletake I have ever seen anywhere in a movie in "Dinner at Eight" with Jeane Harlow.Dinner at Eight is on TCM tonight and May 13 where Dressler plays a faded stage star. Anna Christie is on TCM on May 14 - Dressler plays a pathetic drunk. She was a versatile actress.
Under contract for MGM, Marie Dressler was the top box office draw in the early 30's until her death. She was also known for her kindness and generosity to other performers; encouraging and helping them. A very entertaining lady and by all accounts a great personality.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: His name alone evokes musical thoughts. There's Mozart, the legend and mythical personality; Mozart, the child prodigy: the musical genius. Mozart, the prodigious talent with an eye on the divine. A truly revolutionary character in musical history. And while you can still catch the namesake festival until August 25, it's mostly Mozart today on the Choral Mix.
Some highlights include our favorite movements from Mozart's Solemn Vespers, a work not as well known as his Requiem, but still very enriching.
We'll also hear the Kyrie and Gloria from Mozart's Mass in C minor. Had Mozart completed his Mass, it may have competed with J.S. Bach's Mass in B Minor as the epitome of classical masses. This version is sung by the Winchester Cathedral Choir and the Winchester College Quiristers alongside the Academy of Ancient Music. The Winchester College Choristers have had a longstanding choral tradition for nearly six-hundred years.
We're showcasing Mozart's sacred works, pieces you'll hear in both church and concert hall, always defying limitations!

Dear Mr. Title
What a great find! Your Choral program is truly inspirational.
It is wonderful to sing along (mentally) to works I have
performed, except the Haydn.
Thank you a lovely evening of Choral Music.
Sublime. Thank you Kent Tritle. I hesitate to pick one piece over the others, but the Vespers, which I have never heard matches the beauty of Yellowstone National Park, my backyard.
Thanks to Kent Tritle for today's sacred works by Mozart. Glorious! Since he asked for listeners' favorites, I'm submitting the sublime Regina Coeli, K. 276. This work seems to be rarely performed or recorded, alas. WQXR never seems to select it, but sometimes plays the longer K. 127 piece.

LONDON — Britain's ruling coalition split along party lines on Wednesday when Liberal Democrats refused to support Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron in a row over his attitude towards a minister accused of pulling strings for Rupert Murdoch.
The Lib Dems, junior partners in the coalition, said they would abstain in a parliamentary vote on a motion calling on Cameron to order an inquiry into the actions of Jeremy Hunt, the Conservative secretary of state for culture and media.
The Hunt issue has given the Lib Dems an opportunity to mark their differences with the Conservatives, with whom they have had an uneasy relationship since forming the coalition in 2010.
The Lib Dems have seen their popular support slump as they have been forced to go along with unpopular Conservative policies. They fear a catastrophic result in the next election, in 2015, and are looking to score points over their partners.
The Conservatives have enough seats to defeat the motion brought by the opposition Labour Party without Lib Dem support.
But the decision by Deputy Prime Minister and Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg to instruct his party's lawmakers to abstain shines a stark light on the state of the coalition.
"It's no longer about the culture secretary's judgment, it's about the prime minister's judgment, which is so badly flawed even his deputy won't support him," said Labour leader Ed Miliband during a heated exchange with Cameron in parliament.
The Hunt row is one of many sub-plots in what started last July as a scandal over phone-hacking at a Murdoch newspaper and has escalated into a full-blown political storm because of revelations about government dealings with the Murdoch empire.
While Cameron and Miliband clashed over the Murdoch saga in parliament, Clegg was being questioned a short distance away in London at the Leveson Inquiry into press ethics, which Cameron ordered last year because of the hacking scandal.
The prime minister himself is due to testify at the televised inquiry all day on Thursday.
Britain's most high-profile politicians, including three former prime ministers and several serving ministers, have already appeared at Leveson, as have Murdoch and editors past and present of his numerous British media outlets.
The inquiry has brought out into the open the close and often mutually beneficial relations between generations of British politicians and top people at News International, the British newspaper arm of Murdoch's News Corp conglomerate.
"What we are talking about here is the relationships that Conservative politicians and, frankly, Labour politicians have had over the last 20 years with News Corporation, News International and all the rest of it," Cameron said in answer to Miliband's taunts.
"To be fair to the Liberal Democrats, they didn't have that relationship and their abstention tonight is to make that point. And I understand that, it's politics," he said to jeers from the Labour benches.
The Lib Dems were less involved with the Murdochs in the past than the Conservatives and Labour, partly because they were never previously in power and so attracted less media interest.
The Hunt dispute stems from News Corp's bid for full ownership of lucrative pay-TV company BSkyB.
Hunt was appointed in 2010 by Cameron to rule on the bid, replacing senior Lib Dem minister Vince Cable who was stripped of his responsibility for the BSkyB issue after he was secretly taped saying he had "declared war" on Murdoch.
Hunt had expressed public support for the bid at the time he was appointed, but both he and Cameron maintain that he put aside his personal view and was impartial in his handling of it.
In the event, Murdoch abandoned the bid under public pressure at the height of the hacking scandal last summer.
But evidence given at Leveson by Murdoch's son James, who was running the British arm of News Corp at the time of the bid, raised questions over whether Hunt was in fact too close and too helpful to the Murdochs, given his "quasi-judicial" role.
Parliament is scheduled to debate the Labour motion on Hunt later on Wednesday and a vote will follow immediately.
"We are not saying Hunt is guilty of anything, but we do say questions remain," Lib Dem member of parliament Don Foster told Reuters. He said Clegg had advised Cameron to order a probe into whether Hunt had breached the ministerial code of conduct.
"Nick Clegg is saying, look, beforehand I advised you how I think you should handle this, you have not followed my advice, therefore I cannot endorse the decision you have made."

First off I'm not trying to spark a who's better or right argument because I just don't get that emotional over politics so please know I'm not trying to start trouble. However as a voter and someone who does like to follow and stay informed I was wondering to any who saw the debate who do you think came off as the winner?
These PR shows are hardly informative. You get influenced by style instead of substance. Furthermore it makes more sense to judge people who run for a public office by their past actions instead of their empty election promises (which are usually released en masse during these TV debates). Romney won't e.g. talk about his job-destructive work at Bain and Obama won't talk about the massive drone war in Pakistan that kills civilians and low-level Al-Qaeda activists. Judge 'em by their actions, you want man to do a job and not a rhetorician or a guy who is skilled at covering his turds with glitter.
Well I never said that you should only vote based off of this alone but I was just wondering who seemed to get their views across better.
Well, if you read around a bit all the pundits claim that Romney was aggressive and Obama was tired. As I just said this is style and not substance. You shouldn't vote based on who can communicate his ideas better but based on what ideas you prefer independent of how well the guy can sell it. You want the best POTUS, not the best salesman in the White House. Listening to politicians is one of the worst ways to inform oneself about them. America is full of brilliant journalists who point out what actually happens beneath the PR screen that political parties and candidates establish around them.
I actually like to see them in this type of forum to see how they communicate. I think that Obama came off as looking like he was reaching for answers sometimes, mainly because of his speaking style of uhh...uhh. But I also found it telling that when Gov. Romney was speaking to him in rebuttal that he spent more time looking down and not at Mr. Romney. As to Mitt Romney being aggressive, well as the challenger he kind of has to be. We all know that these debates are a blame game basically to make the other look bad but I do like to watch their faces on how they react to it.
I don't follow much politics myself. I watched the debate last night, and judging on the debate alone, Mitt knocked it out of the park. Obama looked pathetic in there.
Precisely because you as well as millions of others focus on their faces these guys do some training before these TV debates. In an ideal world public servants would not have to focus on such PR shit but on their actual jobs. The first step towards such a world is to not watch these debates, to not care about how the candidates look or how they speak, to not be influenced by the PR machinery that elections have become.
If you ignore the debates, you might as well ignore everything else. And I mean everything. Joe Biden to the rescue. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Joe Biden. You're our only hope!!!
You still seem to be under some illusion that I said that this is all I cared about in an election though. And to them training to reaction of course they do, they are career politicians. However, Pres. Obama constantly looking down at his notes or away is not a good thing. And if they were worried about image and PR he would have been told not to umm umm all the time when speaking too because that doesn't make him seem like he know's what he wants to say. On the other side even though Romney did sound more sure of himself and his thoughts he was still evasive by not talking about what he was going to do so much as talking about what Obama did not do, again not too helpful either. All I was trying to gauge is how people felt about this one instance in both of the candidates, not trying trying to elect them on this alone, that would be stupid.
Prz O seemed disengaged and uninterested. I assumed he was letting Romney flail about and burn himself out. There are two more debates and I suspect Obama will do what he always does; bring the A game when it counts. Notwithstanding, I also wonder what kind of voter is still truly undecided at this point in the game? Those voters seem so few it hardly seems worth chasing after them. Lehrer was a horrible, ineffective moderator. He would have had more success turning a hose onto them.I do hope he is not lined up to moderate the next debates.
Romney lied and misrepresented his own plans... but: He did put up a good show. He was more awake, more active, more reactive and more fluid in his speech than Obama. Obama seemed annoyed at Romney denying his own plans and his speech was terrible I thought. Lots of "uhhh", random stretched vowels while he was thinking, lots of trips of the tongue. And he didn't attack Romney at all. That said Obama did explain why all of Romney's silly plans are just "magic" but I'm sure many people were blinded by Romney's decent performance. Not happy.
I agree though, the debate won't change voters minds. Those who are set on who they will vote for. And the bickering back and forth will continue between left-wingers and right-wingers. I was reading comments on cnn.com. And yes, it continues. Which is one reason i don't follow politics. Because all both sides do, are just argue with each other, and not listen to each other. No matter who wins the election, half this country will be mad about it.
Pretty much sums it up. Obama can do and has done better. Romney was firing on all cylinders and never let up. There's more fire in him than I'd have given him credit for.
If you are American it makes a great difference if you are not a one percenter who needs social security and health insurance and cannot pay for those out of your own pocket. If you are not American it makes a great difference if you are in need of international aid. Romney was willing to let th US automotive system go to hell - his own countrypeople. Imagine how he would feel about bailing out Spain, Greece or the rest of the EEU. And if you are an international ally you might not wish to be dragged into the military disaster he could blunder us into - would you wish to be dragged into a war that keeping his mouth shut to mollify the fundamental right who voted him in could have prevented? In other words, it makes a great difference to everyone. http://news.yahoo.com/romneys-strong-debate-showing-puts-europe-edge.150035684.html
Romney won the debate by a mile. It doesn't matter that he was lying through his teeth, compromising the hard right values he's had to pander to throughout this campaign, actually conceding a lot of policy points to Obama, and acting like a first class prick to the deer caught in the headlights that was Jim Lehrer (although Obama wasn't much better), because all the people in his base who are nervous about him are going to care about is that he came across as strong, tough, direct, vital, and not awkward and robotic. He commanded the stage, literally, and looked presidential. It was a total victory of style over substance, but that was enough for this first debate, where it will build confidence amongst people who can't stand Obama regardless, but weren't thrilled about Romney either. Obama has always had a problem with excessive use of verbal crutches (ummms and ahhhs) and pauses, which is indicative of carefully considering his words during an interview or speech, but here it just came off as indecisive and stalling for time. When he wasn't absentmindedly nodding his head at everything Romney said (which is a good technique to show that you're engaged and interested on a date, but not in a debate), he spent far too much time looking down at his notes on the podium. Plus, by the time he got around to making his point half the time he was gone way over the two minute limit, so he had to bully Lehrer around as well. If one were to look solely at the facts presented by both candidates in text form without all the extraneous pauses, ummms, and "zingers," Obama would have won in my opinion, because much of Mitt's claims won't pass the smell test. But from a total presentation standpoint, Mitt dominated. I was expecting him to win the debate, because the challenger usually wins the first debate by virtue of simply holding their own against the incumbent and not coming across like an idiot, but I was not expecting this Mitt Romney to show up. This is probably the one and only time this comparison will ever be used about these two candidates for obvious reasons, but Mitt was the Harlem Globetrotters to Obama's Washington Generals this time out. Obama will hopefully be much improved next time (plus, it's a town hall format, which is more his speed).

Our last team dinner was at Grand Lux Cafe. I'd never heard of this place before, but it's a basically a different version of the Cheesecake Factory, with a different name. It actually quite looks similar, but with less emphasis on cheesecake. Since Philadelphia is always the last to get chain restaurants, it didn't surprise me that this was a chain.
Here's my Asian Chicken Salad with chicken, fried wontons, rice noodles, lettuce, cabbage, almonds, carrots, tomatoes, in their asian dressing. As with any cheesecake factory item, it was ginormous. But also, not bad.
This is the Salmon Three Ways. It is done in soy glaze with shiitakes, horseradish crusted with asparagus, and finally almond ginger with green beans and buerre blanc.
While the food was really just ginormous portions of mediocre food, I really enjoyed the desserts. They have many baked to order desserts that you have toorder with your main entrees, as they take a long time to prepare. Since I love me some cobbler, I got the Peach Cobbler. It is super hot and served with vanilla ice cream. Delicious!
Here are the adorable Roasted Pineapple Upside-Down cakes, also served with vanilla ice cream.
They do a really decent Beignet! They are served with different dipping sauces.
Also, on a random lunch, I had the biggest baked potato I'd ever experience in my life. It was the size of the entire container. I swear to you, it was the size of my head!

public class Application extends Application
Applications are unique in your desktop session; once the program is running subsequent invocations of the binary will result in a signal being sent to the original, known as the "primary" instance.
You can model several different program styles this way. A straight forward and common use is for subsequent invocations merely to "wake" the primary, perhaps bringing it to front. In this example, you start by constructing an Application object:
app = new Application("com.example.MasterControlProgram");in this case "registering" the DBus name
as the unique identifier for
this application. As with a plain GTK program, you then enter the main
loop, but instead of Gtk.main()
you use Application's
to do so:
the original process blocks in this call (and runs a GTK main loop and your
widgets start receiving event signals). Subsequent programs attempting to
register that name (ie, this same code being run through a second time but
by a different invocation of your program) will implicitly discover that
they are not the primary instance; the remote
will return from the call to run()
although how fast this
occurs depends on actions the primary takes.
The Application.Startup
will be fired once for an instance
when it becomes primary. So, that's the place to put your UI
setup code.
will occurs when when Application's
is called. It is also raised when the
primary begins running the first time if no flags were passed to the
Application constructor.
If the application has been configured as passing command line arguments
from remote instances to the primary, then instead of
, the Application.CommandLine
signal will be raised on the primary. You can always call
from this handler thereby concentrating the code to
deal with raising the UI there.
For each principle GTK Window you create, call Application's
and be sure to put a call to
Application's removeWindow()
that Window's Window.DeleteEvent
handler. The runtime system
will keep track of these registered Windows; your application will
terminate when the last one is destroyed.
You can also call Application's quit()
to exit
the program.
The call to Gtk.init()

Waiting On Wednesday (14)
It's Wednesday again and that means it's time for another Waiting On Wednesday post. For those of you that don't know, Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill ofBreaking the Spine where book bloggers devote a post to an upcoming book release they are particularly looking forward to reading.
Chain Reaction by Simone Elkeles
Luis Fuentes is a good boy who doesn't live with the angst that his big brothers, Alex and Carlos, have always lived with. Luis is smart, funny, and has big dreams of becoming an astronaut. But when he falls for the wrong girl, Luis enters a dark world he's never known, and just when he thinks he's got life all figured out, learns some disturbing news about his family that destroys his positive outlook on life. Will that Fuentes bad boy streak come out with a vengeance and lure Luis to live on the edge like his new girlfriend and his own father?
Continuing all the steamy romance of the first two books, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Simone Elkeles gives fans one more satisfying taste of the irresistible Fuentes boys.
I absolutely loved the first two books in this series and I honestly cannot wait until this one comes out. I'm really looking forward to finding out more about Luis, especially since he didn't have the same bad streak as his brothers. And I also want to see how the couples from the other books turned out.
Chain Reaction by Simone Elkeles will be published May 24, 2011 by Walker & Company.

More capacity and faster transit times to be introduced by Horizon
Horizon Lines, Inc. announced it will launch express intermodal container service to key inland U.S. cities when it begins the new Five Star Express (FSX) trans-Pacific liner service in December.
in the News
Cargo Connections Conference to draw industry leaders to New Orleans Meet the 2017 Modern Show Daily team 2017 Air Cargo Roundtable: Positive Outlook Driven by New Demand European Logistics Update: The Glass is Half Full Environmental executive order poses questions for supply chain and logistics green efforts More NewsSlow steaming on the transpacific appears to losing its cachet with some shippers, analysts and carriers report.
"As other carriers reduce service locations and slow service speeds, U.S. shippers continue to tell us they want fast and reliable service alternatives not only port-to-port, but inland to final destinations as well," Brian Taylor, Senior Vice President of International Services at Horizon Lines, said.
The statement was made as Horizon Lines, Inc. announced it will launch express intermodal container service to key inland U.S. cities when it begins the new Five Star Express (FSX) trans-Pacific liner service in December.
At a press conference in China last week, executives of the U.S. domestic ocean shipping and integrated logistics company announced that approximately 60 percent of the initial voyage is already subscribed, as the company continues to make steady progress toward its goal of 75 percent bookings for the first sailing.
The maiden FSX voyage is scheduled to depart Ningbo, China, on December 14, 2010, Shanghai on December 15, and arrive in Los Angeles on December 26.
"At a time when U.S. retailers are maintaining lower inventory levels and placing more logistics responsibilities on their manufacturing partners here in China, our Five Star Express service offers a fast and reliable transit schedule to keep supply chains running smoothly."
Jon Monroe, president of Monroe Consulting in Shanghai, told LM that such 3PLs have been clamoring for more alternatives on the ocean transport side.
"This region is booming," he said, "and it's only going to get bigger. We see manufacturers seeking more distribution and supply chain options."
Horizon Lines plans to offer some of the fastest inland transit times in the industry, including 15-day availability in Kansas City from Shanghai and 16-day availability in Dallas, using scheduled intermodal rail service from Los Angeles every week. The carrier also will offer express inland service to Chicago, Memphis, Atlanta and Charlotte using on-dock rail connections to avoid drayage fees on the West Coast, saving customers time and expense. Horizon Lines plans to expand the inland express network to other locations throughout the United States next year.
"We do not operate in a one-size-fits-all supply chain," Taylor said.
According to spokesmen, Horizon Lines is able to offer a cost-effective inland service because of operational synergies with the carrier's domestic U.S. shipping network serving export customers to Puerto Rico, Alaska, Hawaii and Guam. Delivering imports inland to these markets, added spokesmen, will provide a more stable supply of containers in locations where many shippers struggle to find available container capacity.
