Chefs will appear on "LIVE" and compete for a $20,000 grand prize
Monday morning, after a nationwide online vote, "LIVE with Kelly and Michael" hosts Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan announced the 10 contenders in "LIVE's Truckin' Amazing Cook-Off" who will compete for a $20,000 grand prize.
Earlier this month, Ripa and Strahan announced their first-ever summer search for the nation's best food truck. "LIVE's" viewers nominated their favorite food-on-the-go, and, on Friday, May 17, the hosts announced the top 20 as selected by the "LIVE" production team. As soon as the show ended, viewers were encouraged to go to the "LIVE" website, watch videos submitted by the chefs and cast their votes for the top 10.
"LIVE's" viewers have spoken, and the 10 food trucks in "LIVE's Truckin' Amazing Cook-Off" are:
Weekly, beginning on Friday, May 24, one of the 10 chefs will travel to New York to prepare his or her signature dish on "LIVE." After each appearance, "LIVE's" viewers can rate the chef's recipe on www.LIVEKellyandMichael.com. Once all of the food trucks have been showcased, the hosts will announce the four food trucks with the highest ratings.
After an audience vote, the top two chefs will go head-to-head for the $20,000 grand prize, returning to New York to compete in a cook-off in front of the "LIVE" audience and a panel of judges. After a taste test, the judges and the studio audience will evaluate the dishes and determine the winner of "LIVE's Truckin' Amazing Cook-Off."
The winning food truck won't be the only prize winner this summer - viewers at home can get in on the action, too. As a reward for rating the recipes online, "LIVE's" viewers also can enter to win weekly prizes of $500 gift cards to Omaha Steaks.

Twilight star Robert Pattinson has said he fears he will die before he hits 30 - because he has had so much success.
"I guess I just thought if too many good things happen, then you're going to die at 30," he told US TV show Nightline.
"Actually, it's God saying, 'Hey, you shouldn't have asked for too much.' "
In another interview, with magazine Parade, the 24-year-old actor said that kissing his real life girlfriend Kristen Stewart in the latest Twilight film Eclipse felt more "natural" than in the first two films.
"Kissing felt a little bit more natural in Eclipse, even if there was plenty of it," he said. "In New Moon and Twilight it was always like, 'Oh, I'm gonna kill you if I kiss you' or something."
"It was always kind of odd. But, in this one, they both understand their situation a lot more, which makes it easier.
"It's the first time Kristen and I have been able to just act like a normal couple."

Impeccably maintained with a lot of recent electronics, she is ready to circumnavigate the globe again or continue to cruise more locally. Great charter boat.
All interior varnish new 2014.
Entering the pilot house from the cockpit area, there is a staircase to starboard leading down to the main salon with the dining area forward to port, lounge area opposite to starboard and navigation desk area aft to port. A stair case aft leads down past the day head to the guest accommodations with port and starboard staterooms, a private study to port and the master stateroom all the way aft.
Forward from the main salon is the galley and crew quarters and access to the lower storage deck under the galley with access to the engine room.
The enclosed pilot house wall and console are made of raised panel teak with opening windows on either side and along the aft wall on either side of the door to the cockpit. Aft to port is a raised bench seat for two with arm rests and cup holders. To starboard is a locker for wet weather gear and storage. Forward to port is a chart table with monitors for electronic navigation behind. The wheel is on centerline with a helm seat. The engine and ships systems monitors arrayed in front and communications and sailing instruments and radars spaced around the dash and overhead.
The spacious main salon has large windows on the sides and high, raised panel cabinets forward and aft, elegantly designed by John Munford in matte finished teak. The dining table is forward to port and seats eight in custom caned back chairs with images of the astronomer Galileo carved in the cross brace.
To starboard is a comfortable, indoor seating area with two club chairs and a sofa spaced around a low table. Aft to port is an office area with a large desk and bookshelves that originally served as a second navigations area but now the Trac77 system is housed in the desk where a large radar used to be so it is now a communication center, although with WiFi laptops can be used to access the internet throughout the boat
The floor is teak and holly with a gloss finish and the overhead is off white ultra suede. There is a large amount of storage in the cabinets forward and outboard under the windows.
This full width cabin features a king size, centerline berth with carved corner posts.
To port and starboard are his/hers nightstands with drawers underneath and swing out lamp above. The décor is John Munford understated elegance with raised teak drawer fronts and off white fabric panels trimmed in teak. Outboard of the night stands are large his/hers closets.
Forward to starboard is a settee and then the entrance to the spacious, en-suite head with both shower stall and tub. To port is a vanity with stool and fold up mirror. In the middle toward the entrance door is the mizzen mast to remind you that you are actually aboard a sailboat and not in a well appointed club ashore.
The study continues the teak with off white fabric panels décor of the other cabins and features a large, teak roll top desk that extends across the forward bulkhead with a low credenza outboard and bookshelves above. Inboard of the desk is a cupboard which conceals a computer and printer. Along the outer side of the cabin is a long, cream colored sofa that can convert to a single berth. The entrance to this cabin is inside the door to the master stateroom, making it an idea cabin for a young child. There is a large closet on the aft wall.
This cabin has a large double berth outboard of a beautifully carved desk with stool underneath and a mirror so it can also be used for a vanity. Along the inner wall is a chest of drawers with a teak paneled Pullman berth above that can fold out to accommodate another guest. The headboard and sideboard are tufted leather and many of the wall panels are off white fabric. There is a large porthole over the berth and a large hanging locker forward next to the door to the private en-suite head with shower stall.
There are twin beds in this cabin with a beautifully crafted teak chest of drawers in between. The headboards and sideboards are tufted leather and many of the wall panels are off white fabric to compliment the teak trim and brighten the cabin. There is a large port hole over the outboard berth. Under the berths are large drawers. At the foot of the outboard berth is a large hanging locker, and forward of that is the private en-suite head with a separate shower stall.
On the port side as you descent forward from the main salon, the well appointed galley is laid out for producing high quality cuisine both at sea and at anchor. There is a lot of jade/white Corian counter space for preparing meals and a minimum of open space for safety at sea. There is a double oven on the aft end, a cook top with bracing for off shore cooking on the forward side, and large amounts of refrigerator and freezer space as well as white, teak trimmed cabinets for cooking utensils, condiments and food storage. Two portholes and an opening hatch above make this a bright area.
Opposite the galley on the starboard side is the crew lounge with a table and U shaped settee with video monitor, communications radios and entertainment systems mounted next to it as well a porthole and overhead hatch for light. Forward on the port side is the captain's cabin with double berth, desk, ample storage and private head with shower stall as well as ship instrumentation and computer. Opposite to starboard is a double cabin with upper and lower berths stowage and private head with shower stall. All the way forward is a twin berth cabin with a private head.
The laundry and more refrigerator and freezer storage is located on the lower deck below the galley. This area has full standing headroom and stores can be directly loaded through a deck hatch and a hatch in the galley floor directly underneath. Forward, under the crew quarters, is a large storage area. Access to the engine room is through a watertight door at the aft end of this area.
Aft of the pilot house is a large comfortable, coved cockpit. At the forward end is the wet bar and service area on either side with access to the side decks. Aft to port is a U shaped settee with comfortable seating for 6. Opposite to starboard is an L shaped settee with a table in front and access to the aft deck next to the mizzen mast.
The large open aft deck is a terrific area for sunning when underway and entertaining under the awning when at anchor. There is a table and chairs capable of seating 10 people. There is also another area for sunning on top of the salon forward of the pilot house. The windlass is on deck forward. The tenders store on the aft deck at sea and there is room to store kayaks and wind surfers on the pilot house roof.

Been a long time since the last post, what with the tournament and school ending for the semester. Be patient :).
A quick note before I have to head out. I'm sure most of you that care about this, already know about this, but here goes:
The new Internet Explorer 5.5 has been deemed inadequate by the web's standards body for its support for Internet web standards by the Web Standards Project. The beta version of the browser fails to use important protocols such as HTML 4.0. Doh!
Microsoft's new browser introduces proprietary new technologies but will not follow the new HTML and Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) standards many sites currently employ. By contrast, Netscape's newest browser, version 6.0b, adheres to all Internet standards.
The move by Microsoft, whether intentional or not, forces web designers into a conundrum, since Explorer is used by a large majority of web surfers and designers must take this into account.
Internet Explorer is expected to be bundled with the upcoming Windows Millennium operating system from Microsoft, barring any federal rulings to the contrary.
This is very frustrating. I wish I had more time to elaborate on my thoughts, but I'm rushed at the moment. I don't know, but I do have to go.

All About: Quartz Countertops
Are you thinking about renovating your kitchen? Doing research on countertop materials? If so, then our Countertop Spotlight series will help you. Today we look at quartz countertops, otherwise known as engineered stone countertops.
Material: Quartz
How It's Made: Quartz countertops are man-made engineered stone countertops formed by combining 90% ground quartz (a natural hard mineral) with 8-10% resins, polymers, and pigments. This forms a very hard granite-like surface. The appearance depends on how the quartz is ground: coarsely ground quartz produces a flecked appearance, while finely ground quartz produces a smooth look.
Major Brands: Italian company Breton owns the patent to manufacture solid surfaces from quartz and resins. All other companies use that patent for their own brand of quartz countertops, including Cosentino (Silestone), DuPont (Zodiaq), Cambria, CaesarStone, Avanza, and Technistone.
Environmental Impact: Light-Moderate. Quartz is the second most abundant material in the earth's crust (which is good), but the acrylic resins used in quartz countertops are petroleum by-products, and they often contain alumina trihydrate fillers made from bauxite ore, which is mined primarily under toxic conditions in developing countries. However, the countertops are still extremely durable and non-porous. Additionally, a few major brands including Zodiaq, Formica, Wilsonart and Silestone have been certified by GreenGuard as low emitting. Other brands, like Cambria Quartz, are mined and made entirely in the USA.
Pros: Extremely hard and durable; glossy sheen; non-porous and stain-and-crack resistant; does not require sealing or resealing; wide range of colors; easy to clean with mild soap, water, and a soft cloth.
Cons: Expensive; not heat tolerant; seams are inevitable for large countertop designs.
Installation: Professional installation strongly recommended. Quartz countertops are quite heavy!
Price range: $60 – $100 per square foot
Kitchn Reader Reviews:
I recently upgraded my counters, and after weighing pros and cons of all materials, I settled on quartz. Not only is is durable with almost zero maintenance, you have an array of color options to pick from. – alllebasil
I'm very happy with my Zodiaq Quartz. Colors are good without being too "disco" or "boring" (as opposed to the leading quartz brand). Not a chip in it after 4 years, not a stain or a scratch. Nice and cold for rolling pastry — actually, that's probably the worst aspect: Put your toast down on it for a minute while you get the jam, and you might as well start over. But the heat-distribution quality is also great for defrosting things like a stack of wonton wrappers or a thin steak. – joelfinkle
I'm all about quartz countertops, we've just installed them in our kitchen and they are a wonder to clean. It is true that these days cheap wildly patterned granite (I agree, sometimes they look like straight up barf) are almost universally chosen by developers, this is probably because quartz is more expensive these days. – noelle153
We spent $5K on quartz (I freaking loooove it), where we could have spent about $500 on the same amount of laminate. – angus

TESTS have established that a skeleton found under a car park in Leicester is that of King Richard III.
Scientists at the University of Leicester confirmed the news at a press conference in the city.
The university's lead archaeologist Richard Buckley said the tests proved the remains were the king's "beyond reasonable doubt".
Deputy registrar Richard Taylor described the discovery as "truly astonishing".
Archaeologists previously said there was strong circumstantial evidence to suggest the bones, exhumed from a car park behind social services offices in the city are those of the Plantagenet king but did not want to make any academic decision before the skeleton was subjected to a number of tests.
The skeleton, with a metal arrow in its back and severe trauma to the skull, was exhumed in September last year during an archaeological dig.
It was found in the same area of what was Grey Friars church where Richard III was recorded to have been buried after his death at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, the last major act in the Wars of the Roses.
Initial examinations showed the bones to be those of an adult male and the remains were said to be in a good condition.
The skeleton had a curved spine, consistent with accounts of Richard III's appearance.
DNA taken from the skeleton has been analysed and compared with that of Michael Ibsen, a descendant of Richard III's family. Radiocarbon tests and genealogical studies have also taken place.
Richard III's demise was dramatised by Shakespeare, who had the king calling out "a horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse" before he was killed on the battlefield.

Latest Leak From Senate's CIA Torture Report: CIA Tortured Many More People, Hid Details From Everyone
from the getting-worse-and-worse dept
The report also found that the spy agency failed to keep an accurate account of the number of individuals it held, and that it issued erroneous claims about how many it detained and subjected to the controversial interrogation methods. The CIA has said that about 30 detainees underwent the so-called enhanced interrogation techniques.There are also additional details about how CIA officials tried to mislead practically everyone about all of this. Of particular importance was how the CIA misled the Justice Department, which was in charge of determining if the program was legal. The DOJ did, in fact, approve the use of certain "interrogation methods" (which already seemed way too extreme), but it appears the CIA misled the DOJ about what it was actually doing from the very start:
The CIA's claim "is BS," said a former U.S. official familiar with evidence underpinning the report, who asked not to be identified because the matter is still classified. "They are trying to minimize the damage. They are trying to say it was a very targeted program, but that's not the case."
[Defenders of the CIA's torture program] based their defense on a series of top-secret legal opinions issued by the Justice Department beginning in August 2002. At that time, the agency sought advice on whether using the harsh techniques on Zayn al Abidin Muhammad Husayn, a close aide to Osama bin Laden who went by the nom de guerre Abu Zubaydah, would violate U.S. law against torture.All of this seems consistent with earlier reports, but it's good to see more details coming out. Of course, we're still only seeing bits and pieces, which is why it would be better if the full report were released.
The Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel found that the methods wouldn't breach the law because those applying them didn't have the specific intent of inflicting severe pain or suffering.
The Senate report, however, concluded that the Justice Department's legal analyses were based on flawed information provided by the CIA, which prevented a proper evaluation of the program's legality.
"The CIA repeatedly provided inaccurate information to the Department of Justice, impeding a proper legal analysis of the CIA's Detention and Interrogation Program," the report found.

Kael Days
Seventeen years after her last book and ten years after her death, Pauline Kael's name is hard to avoid right now if you read culture magazines or blogs. That's because of three books that came out in October: The Age of Movies: Selected Writings of Pauline Kael, edited by Sanford Schwartz and published by The Library of America; Brian Kellow's biography Pauline Kael: A Life in the Dark; and James Wolcott's memoir Lucking Out: My Life Getting Down and Semi-Dirty in Seventies New York, which includes, apparently, lots of material about his friendship with Kael (before they had a falling-out after he published a sharply critical, even vicious, essay on Kael's acolytes in Vanity Fair in 1997).
I haven't read Wolcott's memoir, but I've been reading around in Kellow's biography and I'm familiar with almost everything in The Age of Movies. It was Kael's 1,291-page retrospective collection For Keeps from 1994 that made me into a fan of her writing when I was an idealistic, ignorant kid studying playwrighting and screenwriting at NYU, and though my opinions about her have changed a bit over the years, she's part of my psyche, her presence inextinguishable, like a crazy aunt.
I hadn't gone back to For Keeps for a while, probably not since I wrote about Kael, Susan Sontag, and Craig Seligman's book about them in the fall of 2005. I know a lot more about film history and theory now than I did then, and then I knew more than I did when I first picked up For Keeps from a library and began to make my way through it. (I also read bookstore copies. I vividly remember sitting on the floor of Shakespeare & Co. in New York one night and reading through it until the store closed at, I think, midnight. Eventually I got a remaindered copy at St. Marks Books, the copy I have here beside me now.)
I was a fan of Kael before I knew her name. Until high school, the only movie reviews I'd ever encountered were ones on Siskel & Ebert. But when I was a freshman in high school, a friend told me about The New Yorker, which his family read religiously. I started making weekly trips to the library to read it, and it was there that I read these words:
There's nothing affected about Costner's acting or directing. You hear his laid-back, surfer accent; you see his deliberate goofy faints and falls, and all the closeups of his handsomeness. This epic was made by a bland megalomaniac. (The Indians should have named him Plays with Camera.)That was from one of Kael's last reviews, her December 17, 1990 take on Dances with Wolves. I almost memorized that review -- enough so that I remember reciting that part of it to my U.S. History class in the fall of 1992 in one of those moments of self-righteous, childish nerditude that defined my adolescence. I did not remember who had written the review, because by the time I noticed the bylines in the New Yorker, Kael had retired. But the words were unforgettable, and had definitively shaped my perception of that movie and Kevin Costner.
When I came upon those words again at the end of For Keeps, I nearly burst into tears of joy and recognition. This was who had said that! Here was the author of the text that had so deeply affected not only my perception of the film, but of so much else, because from the moment I read that review, I had become a devoted reader of The New Yorker's critics. I lived in rural America before the internet; thoughtful film criticism was not easy to find if you didn't know where to look for it, and those weekly trips to the little town library across the street from my high school opened a world to me.
For Keeps was the first whole book of movie reviews I read beyond the annual video guides that my father bought each year, and it was a revelation. An entire world of cinema and opinion opened up to me. Thankfully, I was in New York by that time, so I could better find the films Kael wrote about than I ever would have been able to back home -- I lived only a few blocks from Kim's Video, and my membership there was an essential tool of education and survival.
Eventually, my taste developed in a different direction from Kael's passions, and so I found myself dipping into For Keeps less and less over the years. A lot of the various tributes to Kael that have been published in the last few weeks are written by writers who discovered her when, like me, they were young. She wrote some marvelous stuff, but there's an adolescent quality to her positions, and that's a key to both their effectiveness and their limitations.
I read Kael mostly before I knew she was reviled by certain people, and read her long before I had any context to understand her legendary differences with Andrew Sarris about auteurism. The only negative word I heard about her before I delved into For Keeps had come in a letter from the novelist and screenwriter Calder Willingham, with whom I corresponded for a while in the early '90s (his wife taught at my high school; we were both more comfortable with letters than in person). I don't remember the context, and the letter is buried in a box somewhere, but I remember some scornful description of her, something to the effect of "the noxious Pauline Kael". This was before I knew who she was, and it wasn't until years later, when I was going through some old stuff at the house, that I discovered it again. Willingham didn't have a whole lot of good words to say about anybody involved with any aspect of the movie business, so it was just one name among others (I was far more upset that he called Orson Welles "meretricious" [though I liked learning a new word] and his former friend Stanley Kubrick "psychotic").
But Kael was controversial, and she still is. Partly, that comes from prominence -- if you find her perspective particularly limited, it must be galling to see her taken so seriously, even when the serious takes are ones that don't try to pretend she was flawless. Her centrality to American film criticism is assured, whether anyone likes it or not. Partly, that's a matter of her having been in the right place at the right time (had she come around 20 years earlier or later, she wouldn't have had the influence she had). Partly, it's a matter of her taste for films that were accessibly hip. Partly, it's a matter of her sheer talent as a writer and entertainer, and a particular type of writer and entertainer: one who enjoyed a fight. It didn't surprise me at all to discover from Kellow's biography that she was a fan of boxing.
It did surprise me to discover how unethical and selfish she could be. Plenty of writers are terrible people, or do terrible things, and she was no exception to that. (She also sounds like she could sometimes be an awful lot of fun, too.) She makes a good subject for a biography because she had a big personality, and she seemed to yearn to be the center of attention.
Because I find Orson Welles fascinating, I've studied a lot about him and Citizen Kane, and so even in my more Kael-inclined years, I was wary of her long essay "Raising Kane", which attempted to refute Sarris's conception of the auteur theory by claiming most of the distinguished elements of Kane for screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz. Aside from just making up stuff in her own head, Kael also, Kellow shows, extensively and primarily used the research of a young scholar named Howard Suber, paying him $300 and then never giving him any further credit or acknowledgment. I always knew "Raising Kane" was wrong about a lot, but until now I didn't know how deeply Kael's determination to come up with a death-blow to her enemies' ideas led her to cook The Citizen Kane Book. Her knowledge of film production was weak, and part of me thinks she liked it that way, because even after various opportunities to visits sets and then briefly work in Hollywood, she still clung to the writerly idea that screenwriters are important. (Too bad she never got to sit down and chat with Preston Sturges.)
Nonetheless, I have a lot to thank the ghost of Pauline Kael for, so I'm not jumping on the bandwagon of detractors. She influenced my taste and helped me take pop culture seriously. More than that, I am fascinated by the effect she has on people, and by her life and times. There's a lot of nostalgia for the days "when critics mattered", but I don't yearn to go back to the good ol' days of cultural gatekeepers. Writers such as Frank Rich who marinate in that nostalgia (almost always with the requisite sentence decrying bloggers, a habitual move of the nostalgia-drenched decryers) are really just indulging in a power fantasy -- "Oh, wouldn't it be nice to go back in time and have the power to make or break a reputation!" (Rich had that power for a while as the lead theatre reviewer for the Times.) The golden age of cinephilia in the '60s was not my golden age. I'm too sensitive to the sounds and whims of audiences to usually find movie theatres pleasant places, so I am vastly happier being able to watch DVDs or streaming movies at home. Anybody with an internet connection and a bit of disposable income has access to more films than even the most dedicated cinephile in the '60s. Sure, a certain aura of the hunt is gone now that so many films are easily available (though plenty remain difficult or expensive to find), but I'll happily trade the aura for access. I remember well the frustration of being in rural New Hampshire, reading about wonderful films, and having no hope of seeing them. I do not have any desire to return to that frustration. I have enough others.
We have more access, too, to writings on film than ever before. There are more good cinema blogs and websites out there than I have time to read. The best stuff I've read about Kael has been online -- the conversation about her by Andrew O'Hehir & Matt Zoller Seitz at Salon and, especially, a long reflection on Kael at the Self-Styled Siren blog, which also includes a great set of comments from a fine group of readers.
Pauline Kael could not happen now, because authority is more dispersed than it was when she was writing. I'm glad for that. Maybe I wouldn't have discovered her in a world where I had had more access to various critics when I was young, but had I had access to the internet before I was 18, and had I had access to Netflix before I was in my late 20s, I would have discovered plenty of other wonders, and gotten, I expect, a more balanced self-education.
Kael was born when she was, and I was born when I was, and we are, or were, what we are and were. No use wishing it otherwise. Nostalgia is for suckers and resenters; I may be the former, but I try hard not to be the latter.
In any case, there are too few critics with a real sense of voice and style for us to toss out the ones with both. And Kael was one. She may have been a dangerous person to love either in life or in print, but so many of her words and sentences still sing that it has been, in fact, a joy for me to flip through For Keeps again. For me the title, if nothing else, still remains true.

Secret Faction 2 might want to come in this turn...
Vol Boarding Party
They move up, taking unusual care for the elite warriors of a civilization of bloodthirsty raiders.
T.L.A. Mothership Crew
The soldier and crewmen advance into the hallway, ready to fire on any Vol troopers passing through the hall on the opposite side. One of the crewmembers reboots the computer; there are 4 computers still inactive.
The Admiral launches an assault on the Vol, but despite his skill with the pistol, none of his shots hit...
And despite being behind a ridiculous amount of cover, he gets hit by a laser bolt and a flamethrower blast. He has 1 wound left, and is on fire.
The minigunner joins the Admiral behind the barricade, mowing down one of the Shocktroopers.
Neo-Prussian Fleet
The Condor deploys boarding troops onto the Vol railgun frigate...
...destroying its main armament.
The fighter squadron turns around and eliminates the Woden's second laser turret...
... and a plasma barrage from the carrier finishes it off.
Another plasma bolt does a point of damage to the railgun frigate.
The Vol Fleet
It seems some fighters have survived the destroyer's explosion intact.
Two of them engage the T.L.A. torpedo...
...while the third breaks off.
Heavily damaged and fighting off a squad of Neo-Prussian boarding troops, the railgun frigate decides to go out in a blaze of glory and rams the Neo-Prussian carrier, bringing it down to 1 HP.
T.L.A. Fleet
The Archer tries to attack the Q-ship, but ends up missing with both its torpedo and its railgun shot and taking a point of damage from response fire.
The Scout frigate EMP's both the Q-ship and its escorting gunboat...
And the Gamma-class takes out the gunboat's main turret. The fighters move up, but don't engage just yet.
Britannian Fleet
The two disabled ships drift past the T.L.A. battle line.
The torpedo swings around and hits the Archer, destroying it.
The other gunboat has a clear shot at the T.L.A. ships, but misses both attacks.
The Scythian Fleet
The Darkstar attacks the Immortal cruiser, which counterattacks. Thanks to disappointing accuracy rolls by the Scythians, the massive barrage only does 1 point of damage; the counterattack does a point of damage to their ship. Both ships have 3 HP left.
Wait, what's that derelict ship doing?
It's powering up and accelerating towards the mothership...
...and firing on both the T.L.A. and the Britannians! Each ship takes 1 point of damage; the mysterious derelict has 60 missiles left.
Secret Faction 1 Activated: Unknown
The Immortal Empire
The Immortal ship gets close enough to launch its shuttle.
It docks with the mothership...
... deploying Caleb and his Immortal allies directly into the command module.

Two Beauties! 1958 & 1960
I sure love this first photo, in glorious Kodachrome! Suspended above Tomorrowland in a colorful Skyway bucket, away from the hubbub, I can imagine the soft breeze, the sounds from below, the gentle sway of the vehicle... I miss that Skyway, dammit. Notice the golden Autopia car, my favorite!
Here's a repeat, but it's a good one. Fantasyland circa 1960, with King Arthur's Carrousel right smack dab in the middle of the picture. Notice the dad carrying a 1960 souvenir guide book (he's the only person in short sleeves - it must be wintertime).

As Californians work together to reform a prison system with costs spiraling out of control, it is simply not enough to mouth tired old talking points and bromides. What we need is a very serious- almost philosophical- discussion about the role prisons should play in a society. Part of the confusion and contention over the best solutions may stem from deeper differences in belief that many Californians may not have even considered.
To use a brief illustration: Aristotle wrote that if we want to determine if a thing is good or not, we have to determine its function first, and then we can see if it carries out its function well. Because the purpose of a knife is to cut, he argues, a good knife is a knife that cuts well.
It would seem however, that in many discussions of prison reform, journalists, bloggers, and opinion columnists seem to take for granted one or another view of the prison system's purpose, without stopping to explicitly identify and defend that view. So let us review four competing (though by no means mutually exclusive) theories:

Arsenal and Liverpool target Demba Ba has edged closer to an exit from Newcastle United following comments he made in an interview and the St James' Park club closing in on a new striker signing.
Ba gave an interview with French broadcaster Canal +, in which he spoke of his admiration for Arsene Wenger's side ands criticised Newcastle for thier style of play this season.
According to The Telegraph, Alan Pardew is close to completing the £11.4million signing of Marseille striker Loic Remy, which could eventually call time on Ba's time with the Toon.
As well as Arsenal, Liverpool have been credited with an interest in the Senegal international as they look to reinforce a depleted striking department at Anfield.
Reds boss Brendan Rodgers has recently been linked with a double swoop for Chelsea's Daniel Sturridge and Blackpool's Thomas Ince, which could mean the Gunners are given a free run to sign him.
The Telegraph report also claims Newcastle could fine Ba after he admitted a move to Emirates Stadium was an attractive proposition and bemoaned a lack of creativity in the side this season.
The 27-year-old has a £7.5million release clause in his contract, which would be a relatively cheap option for a proven Premier League goalscorer.

Hi all,
I have decided to stick with my Rampage III Extreme despite it's craptastic Marvell Controller and SATA II. I have been convinced to run the two SSD drives on SATA II instead of Marvell. The alternative would be to upgrade or "sidegrade" to X79 or Z77 just for SATA III. This has been pointed out to me by the friendly folk in the mobo, cpu and memory thread. No money for that right now and probably not worth it.
Current setup:
Asus Rampage III Extreme
EVGA GTX680 Superclocked Edition
12gb Corsair Vengeance (installed yesterday, upgraded from 6gb Corsair GT)
Crucial M4 128gb SSD (running off Marvell Controller, seems ok)
Windows 7 installed on SSD
1 TB Samsung spinpoint F3
27inch Dell U2711
I'm so in love with Crucial that I just purchased a 256gb version. After a fresh reinstall of Windows 7 I would like to add the 256gb to the system and use it as follows:
128gb M4 - Windows 7
256gb M4 - Games (of various flavours; offline, mmo etc)
Spinpoint - Documents, photos, movies etc.
What I am thinking is after windows installs, that th eMy Folders section will appear on the 256gb, allowing Windows to have complete free reign on the 128gb and focus on what its gotta do. So, for example, save games and other gaming related stuff is usually written to the "my folder" section which is currently setup on my Spinpoint, now it will be on my 256gb making that data available much quicker due to it being an SSD, of course.
The Spinpoint will then act as a place to store all non game related stuff like videos, photos etc. and will be accessed "as is" from my computer. I like a little organization, you see.
Does this make sense? Does it sound too overkill for and old X58 beast? Or should I dump the 128gb and use the 256gb for Windows and Games and be done with it?
Obviously, I will be tweaking the drives to remove any buildup of junk on the drives over time.
Please let me know your thoughts.

Despite the dominance of digital cameras, it hasn't killed off film photography entirely. There remains interest in traditional film, as evident in things like the Impossible Project and companies like Ilford and Lomography (not to mention the number of people we have seen toting around analog film cameras). But PetaPixel highlighted an interesting article by Glenn Fleischman in The Economist's Babbage blog, where he writes that it isn't just digital that is killing film, but the changes in economics and production that are preventing the silver-halide film industry from ever coming back, nor will it ever reach consistent quality.
Fleischman interviewed Robert Burley, a professor at Ryerson University in Toronto who has documented the fall of film production since 2005 and has published a book about it. It takes large-scale production to manufacture film, an expensive process that companies like Kodak and Polaroid couldn't afford to maintain for an outgoing technology, regardless of how big of a following there is for old film, he told Fleischman (movie production was the last holdout until it embraced digital). Burley, who saw Kodak literally tear down the plants and equipment that produced its film products, also noted that the rise in cost for silver attributed to Kodak's downturn, as film production relies heavily on chemistry.
"Mr. Burley says that after years of talking with the workers, chemists and engineers that ran the plants he foresees a tipping point beyond which consistent quality photographic film will be impossible to make because of the scale necessary to maintain operations," Fleischman wrote.
Burley said the Impossible Project was able to successfully restart instant film production in Polaroid's old European headquarters because, unlike standard film, instant film doesn't need to be consistent.
As much as we all have a soft spot for film, it isn't enough to sustain this industry. We will just have to rely on filters on our digital cameras and smartphones to recreate the magic of film.

Shonen jump going downhill?
Does anybody else that the manga magazine Shonen Jump is not as good as it used to be like in the days of Dragon Ball Z?
I don't understand your question when you mean "good", but Shounen Jump should still be selling well thanks to the big 3.
Um, it's still doing really well. I don't think it's going downhill at all. They have really good mangas up in it, so... yeah. D:
Lul, I'm Dutch.
Lots of people read jump and I enjoy the manga on it, they even give me a free cupon....
well, i'm on my third year of subscribing to Jump and it's as strong as ever. it is kind of a diluted experience though.
They still do that American version? I remember buying the first issue when it came out but never saw one since. I imagine it still does okay since Naruto and Bleach are so popular in the west.
In Japan it's still widely popular beyond the days of Dragonball. Now it has One Piece in it which has took a whole new life of popularity in Japan beyond that which Dragonball ever did plus it has HunterXHunter and other stuff in it that is quite popular in Japan.
So yes i'd say both versions are still good even though Dragonball is gone.
Shonen Jump in my opinion went downhill years ago. I bought it and subscribed after a year it was out (back in 2004) back when it had Dragon Ball Z in it and such. However, they began to get rid of tons of manga in the magazine and were still charging the exact same price so I canceled my subscription in 2007.
No, i dont think so D:
I mean, with the big 3 it's selling really well, isnt it.
cosplaying addict <3 sigh, need more money to cater to my expensive hobby :x
i miss the lil article in Shonen Jumo where they talked about manga in Japan TT-TT
Like my header?
I just renewed my subscription last month for my 3rd year in a row. In this short period of time I found that the magazine was pretty good then sort of dropped off a bit and now is rebounding. It's given me enough confidence to continue the subscription for this year and possilbly next. I understand their doing some manga on their website that is an exlcusive only. But still what is being placed in the magazine is improving. I think this is a work in progress though.
No matter what happens in life keep moving forward.
They change as the generation changes. It made to appeal to the younger generation moreover then older ones. I for one still enjoy its contents and believe it's as strong as it was 20 years ago.
Families are not held together by blood.
The big 3 are still good,but I think there was just something better back in the early 2000s(2003,2004).
I'm always surprised to see the English version still in print, tbqh. But more power to it; I used to read it when it first came out, but it doesn't really appeal to me these days. I wish there were still at least one other English manga magazine on the market-- Yen Plus was at least worth it for Black Butler!
ソワソワソワ ソーワッフル ワンダフル♪
Hmmmmmmmmmmm............. Maybe ur missing the slight-ichi parts? Since I think they're trying to lessen ichi scenes due 2 that new dumb rule ........ Dammit! Japanese presidents should be chosen on how much they would support manga!! lol jk

Vettel working for his money in 2014
Daniel Ricciardo is enjoying the moment as he shows a clean pair of heels to F1's reigning quadruple world champion.
Early in 2014, Red Bull's fresh-faced newcomer Ricciardo settled in quickly and stunned the F1 world by generally outshining Vettel, the winner of the last four world titles and the last nine grands prix of 2013 on the trot.
Vettel performed better with a new chassis in Spain, amid reports the team had discovered the German's original RB10 was 'distorted'.
Chief engineer Paul Monaghan, however, played down those reports.
"No one error can be considered an entire explanation and requires further work to that completed prior to and within the Spanish GP," Reuters quotes him as saying.
Whatever the explanation, it is widely accepted that Ricciardo has been the more impressive Red Bull driver so far this year -- a fact not lost on the always-grinning 24-year-old.
"It's a good feeling to be making Sebastian work for his money," Ricciardo joked to Germany's Sport Bild.
Mere podiums, however, are not the only meal on the menu for the Perth-born driver.
"I'm hungrier than ever for wins, and I can eat a lot!" he laughed.
But he is also keen to play down any talk of tension between himself - the easy-going newcomer - and Vettel, the beleaguered world champion.
"We get on really well, for teammates," said Ricciardo. "We often have breakfast together, and I would say that's unusual for teammates.
"At the moment it's going well for me, but I also know that it won't be long before Seb is getting everything out of his car. He hasn't forgotten how to drive!"
Reporters, however, made a fuss about Vettel being outpaced by female driver Susie Wolff on day two of the Barcelona test on Wednesday.
"Time for me to quit, then?" Vettel hit back with a wry smile.
In fact, even F1 history is still on Vettel's side.
In 1987, it was the eighth race before Nelson Piquet won his first grand prix of the season, but he went on to seal his third world championship.
However, in a statistic more sure to please Lewis Hamilton, an F1 driver has never won four races in a row and not gone on to be that year's champion.

When CEOs and CFOs Share an Alma Mater
On 500-mile road trips to watch Mizzou basketball games, executives David Haffner and Matthew Flanigan talk strategy.
Afterward, the University of Missouri alumni munch hot slices at Shakespeare's Pizza and map out plays—including some painful team cuts a few years ago—for their company, Leggett & Platt Inc. LEG 1.90%
"[We] get home about two in the morning or later, and dang it if we don't have an eight o'clock" meeting, said Mr. Haffner (Class of '74), chief executive officer.
Mr. Haffner and Mr. Flanigan (Class of '84), chief financial officer, know the success of their relationship is essential to executing the vision of the company, which makes everything from mattress springs to shelves. And though they graduated a decade apart, they say their common experiences at the university tie together the threads of their past.
"It's a little rare in corporate America for a CEO and his or her CFO to have that much private time together," Mr. Haffner said.
Leggett & Platt is among more than two dozen of the largest U.S. companies with current CEOs and CFOs who hail from the same alma mater, according to a Wall Street Journal review of data from executive recruiter Crist|Kolder Associates.
Though work experience becomes more important the closer you get to the top, "there are clearly clients in our world who [nonetheless] put a huge emphasis on educational pedigree," said Tom Kolder, Crist|Kolder's president.
While this trend spans the coasts, the connections are concentrated among 22 schools, which have bestowed one or more bachelor's degrees or master's in business administration to 285 CFOs at roughly 670 of the country's largest companies.
The top undergraduate schools were University of Illinois, Indiana University and the University of Notre Dame. For M.B.A.s, the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, Harvard Business School and Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management delivered the most diplomas to future CFOs.
In fact, Harvard's M.B.A. program ranks No. 1 for having the most power duos in office now, including at Aon Corp. and AvalonBay Communities Inc.
These future executives rarely overlapped as students, and the matchups often happened years after graduating. The scholastic affinity network extends beyond the Ivy Leagues.
Simon Business School at the University of Rochester in New York handed Efrain Rivera and Martin Mucci their M.B.A.s.
Mr. Mucci (Class of '91), now CEO of Paychex Inc., says Simon's curriculum emphasized quantitative analysis, which is key at Paychex because "numbers are very important for us."
Mr. Rivera (Class of '89), the CFO, said when they discuss concepts in meetings, "Some of the stuff is almost subliminal."
Of course, teamwork, debates and all-nighters also happen in the workplace, where the stakes are higher and trust is forged.
Roland Smith, a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and now CEO of Office Depot Inc., cared less about Stephen Hare's Harvard M.B.A. and Notre Dame bachelor's degree than he did about the time they'd spent in the financial trenches. Mr. Hare had been Mr. Smith's CFO when they turned around AMF Bowling Co. through a bankruptcy. Next, they merged but ultimately split Arby's Restaurant Group Inc. and Wendy's Co. fast-food restaurants to make them more profitable.
"Before I even took the job [at Office Depot], I realized I needed a trusted finance adviser who can finish my sentences, anticipate my decisions and say, no,' " said Mr. Smith, who snapped up Mr. Hare within weeks.
Naturally, the majority of CFOs rise through the ranks based on solid work experience and results. But certain institutions have earned a reputation for minting CFOs.
At the 500 largest U.S. companies, 55% of the current CFOs sharpened their pencils at one of the top four accounting firms, plus former Arthur Andersen, or at one or more of the 17 multinational companies known for their "finance academies," according to Korn/Ferry International.
While Korn/Ferry declined to name the corporations, other recruiters and CFOs often point to companies with complex, globe-spanning finance departments like General Electric Co., PepsiCo Inc. and Procter & Gamble Co.
But then again, there are folks like Edward Tilly, who heads the company that runs the Chicago Board Options Exchange. He went to Northwestern University for an undergraduate degree (Class of '87), while CFO Alan Dean went to Northwestern's Kellogg for his M.B.A. (Class of '88). The school, for them, validates their belief that their values are in sync.
"When I'll try to relate something to Ed using a Chicago experience, he'll know just what I'm talking about," Mr. Dean said. "It allows us to talk in shorthand."
The two agree their favorite Italian beef sandwich can only be found at Portillo's Hot Dogs. And while they don't root for the same baseball team—Mr. Tilly is a North Side Cubs fan and Mr. Dean cheers the White Sox to the south—that's a rivalry they overlook.
"Alan speaks South Side," Mr. Tilly said. "I understand South Side."

text: Soybean Futures Fall on Signs of Slower Demand February 19, 2014 08:31 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bloomberg Email Feb. 19 (Bloomberg) -- Soybeans fell from a five-month high on signs of slowing demand from U.S. and overseas consumers. Corn and wheat rose. U.S. soybean processing fell 5.1 percent to 156.943 million bushels last month from December, the National Processors Association said yesterday in data released by Thompson Reuters Corp. The amount of oilseed inspected for export in the week ended Feb. 13 slid 6.1 percent from a week earlier. Through yesterday, prices climbed 4.3 percent this year as drought threatened crops in Brazil, the world's biggest exporter. "The usage on soybeans has been unsustainably high," Dave Marshall, a farm-marketing adviser at Toay Commodity Futures Group LLC in Nashville, Illinois, said in a telephone interview. "Maybe a reality check was in the cards. We probably ran into some profit-taking. We've had a pretty good run." Soybean futures for May delivery dropped 0.6 percent to $13.3975 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade at 12:27 p.m. Prices earlier touched $13.585 a bushel, the highest since Sept. 19. Wheat futures for May delivery climbed 0.6 percent to $6.11 a bushel. As much as 15 percent of crops in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan, face the risk of damage from subzero temperatures late next week, according to Commodity Weather Group. About 44 percent of the Texas winter crop is in poor or very-poor condition, the state's Department of Agriculture said yesterday. "The winter-wheat crop is winter-weather weary," Marshall said. "It's a crop that's going to show up as more brown than green over the next few days." Corn futures for May delivery gained 0.8 percent to $4.59 a bushel, heading for a fourth straight increase. --Editors: Millie Munshi, Patrick McKiernan To contact the reporter on this story: Megan Durisin in Chicago at firstname.lastname@example.com To contact the editor responsible for this story: Millie Munshi at email@example.com Back to news

Integrating with Network Management Systems
From DocWiki
Integrating with Network Management Systems
You can manage the status of the Cisco ER server remotely using CiscoWorks2000 or another SNMP-based network management system. CiscoWorks2000 is the standard Cisco network management system, but it is not bundled with Cisco ER. For more information about CiscoWorks2000, Campus Manager, and Topology Services, refer to the documentation, available at the following URL:
These topics provide information to assist you in integrating Cisco ER with network management systems:
Understanding CDP Support, page 16-1 Monitoring Cisco Emergency Responder Subsystem Status, page 16-2 Collecting Information from Syslog, page 16-2
Understanding CDP Support
Cisco ER uses the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) to periodically send out CDP messages, on the active interface, to a designated multicast address. These messages contain information such as device identification, interface name, system capabilities, SNMP agent address, and time-to-live. Any Cisco device with CDP support can locate a Cisco ER server by listening to these periodic messages.
Using information provided through CDP, the CiscoWorks2000 Server can detect the Cisco ER server, and the Campus Manager application, Topology Services, can build topology maps displaying the Cisco ER server.
In addition to sending out CDP messages, the Cisco ER server uses CDP to locate phones that support CDP. You must ensure CDP is enabled on your switches so that Cisco ER can obtain this information through SNMP queries to the switches.
Table: Cisco ER Hardware Platform OIDs shows the SNMP OIDs for the Cisco ER hardware platforms.
Table: Cisco ER Hardware Platform OIDs
|Hardware Platform
Cisco MCS-7815-I
Cisco MCS-7825-H
Cisco MCS-7825-I
Cisco MCS-7835-H
Cisco MCS-7835-I
Cisco MCS-7845-H
Cisco MCS-7845-I
Monitoring Cisco Emergency Responder Subsystem Status
Cisco ER supports the SYSAPPL-MIB that allows you to use CiscoWorks2000 or a third-party SNMP browser to remotely access information about the following Cisco ER components:
- Cisco ER Server
- CERServer.exe
- Cisco PhoneTrackingEngine
- CERPhoneTracking.exe
- MSQL Server-related Services
The SYSAPPL-MIB uses SNMP. Cisco ER supports the following SYSAPPL-MIB tables:
- SysApplInstallPkgTable—provides installed application information such as Manufacturer, Product Name, Version installed, Date installed, and Location, which is a partial URL for accessing the associated Application Administration web page (when applicable).
- SysApplRunTable—describes the application starting time and run-time status.
- SysApplInstallElmtTable—describes the individual application elements, or associated executables, which comprise the applications defined in the SysApplInstallPkgTable.
- SysApplElmtRunTable—describes the processes, or executables, that are currently running on the host system.
Collecting Information from Syslog
You can configure Cisco ER to use the Cisco Syslog Collector. Cisco Syslog Collector and Cisco Syslog Analyzer are offered with CiscoWorks2000 as part of the Resource Management Essentials package. You can also adapt Syslog output from Cisco ER for use with other network management systems.
The Cisco Syslog Collector keeps common system logs of messages reported to Cisco ER.
The Cisco Syslog Analyzer controls and displays all events efficiently so they can easily be read, interpreted, and used for system maintenance and problem solving.
To install and configure the Cisco Syslog Collector, refer to the CiscoWorks2000 documentation.
To enable syslog, follow these steps:
Step 1 Select System > Cisco ER Group Settings.
- Cisco ER opens the Cisco ER Group Settings page.
Step 2 Select enable in Enable Syslog.
Step 3 Enter the fully-qualified DNS name of the server in the Syslog Server field, for example, server.domain.com.
Step 4 Click Update Settings to save your changes.
- Cisco ER immediately begins writing messages to syslog.

Serious Eats Gift Guide: For the Mixologist
Weekly insight into the world of drinks with Paul Clarke from the Cocktail Chronicles and Imbibe magazine.
Nothing puts your guests in the holiday spirit like a little holiday spirits. From books to bottles to shakers and bitters, there are plenty of gift ideas from the cocktail world that can add pizzazz to celebrations throughout the year.
Prices don't include shipping unless otherwise noted.
WMF Loft Boston Shaker
I found this under my Christmas tree last year, and my mixing has never been the same. Precision-tooled in Germany, the WMF Loft shaker pairs a brushed stainless-steel tin with a heavy mixing glass, and the set feels so comfortable and natural to use, I wonder how I ever mixed drinks without it. WMF Loft Boston Shaker, $44.90
WMF Loft Cocktail Strainer
For straining from the new Boston shaker, of course! Lightweight yet durable, this strainer is broader than most, and a perfect fit with the WMF Loft's mixing tin. WMF Loft Strainer, $16.90
Julep Strainer
Despite the name, it's not really for juleps. This obscure little bar tool is designed for straining stirred drinks such as Manhattans and Martinis from a mixing glass, and keeps those little chips of ice from the surface of the drink. The julep strainer doesn't seem necessary if you have the more typical Hawthorne (spring-style) strainer, but once you've used one a few times, its utility becomes obvious. A good stocking stuffer. Stainless-steel Julep Strainer, $3.95
OXO Good Grips Mini Angled Measuring Cup
I find a lot of OXO tools too large and unwieldy to use, but these mini angled measures have become essential tools in my liquor cabinet. Marked for measurement in ounces (and fractions thereof), milliliters and tablespoons, these two-ounce cups make it possible to mix drinks that call for the exacting measurement of ingredients. Plus, the angled aspect of these cups means you can do all your measuring without having to lean down and eyeball the little line—an exercise that gets trickier when you're mixing your second or third round. OXO Good Grips Mini Angled Measuring Cup (set of 3), $9.99
Mark it in your diaries for future reference: November 2007 was the month when our understanding of the history and culture of mixology permanently changed. That was when David Wondrich's extraordinary new book, Imbibe!, was published, giving readers a deep and thorough understanding of the influential years of American drinking and bar culture by exploring the life, times and contemporaries of Jerry Thomas, author of the first known printed bartending guide. Wondrich tells an incredible story of the era, and offers dozens of recipes for the drinks that came out of it. Imbibe!, $16.29
'Imbibe' Magazine
'Sippin' Safari'
In case I haven't pounded this point home yet, this latest tome in Beachbum Berry's exotic drink canon is the greatest yet. Relying on primary-source research with some of the original bartenders from the earliest days of the mid-century Polynesian phenomenon, Sippin' Safari paints a picture of this extensive era in American cultural history. Better yet, Berry has unearthed dozens of recipes, including the original and never-before-published recipe for the Zombie, the drink that launched the entire tiki movement. Sippin' Safari, $19.95
Big Basket O' Bitters
Bitters are an essential component of many well-crafted drinks, and Fee Brothers in Rochester, New York, has long been satisfying mixologist's needs by supplying a growing array of bitters. The Cocktail Bitters Complete Set gives you bottles of orange, old-fashioned aromatic, lemon, peach, mint and grapefruit bitters; add the bottle of Whisky-Barrel Aged Aromatic Bitters, and you've got a mighty arsenal. Even better: toss a bottle of Peychaud's Bitters in your cart, too, along with a bottle of Regan's Orange Bitters No. 6, and a liquor cabinet is equipped for taking on just about any drink. Fee Brothers Bar Cocktail Bitters Complete Set, $32.95; Fee Brothers Whiskey Barrel-Aged Aromatic Bitters, $13.50; Peychauds Aromatic Cocktail Bitters, $4.50; Regan's Orange Bitters No. 6, $4.50
Anything From LeNell's
For the New York crowd, LeNell's in Red Hook is the English sports car of liquor stores: small and compact, but my god, what power. Check out the unparalleled collections of bourbons and bitters, or try out the signature whiskey: LeNell's Redhook Rye. Cask strength, unfiltered, and old enough to order itself in a bar, this whiskey was selected by the lady herself, and is one of the greatest ryes in circulation. The latest bottling is expected in the store this week; this is what I'll be looking for in my stocking on Christmas morning. LeNell's Redhook Rye; call for price
