10 of the most appealing Apple Stores designed by Foster + Partners
Foster + Partners has designed a succession of Apple Stores that implement the tech giant's retail vision. From Paris to Istanbul, here are 10 of its best designs.
Apple Zorlu Centre, Turkey, 2014
Apple Zorlu Centre in Istanbul was the first Foster + Partners-designed Apple Store to open.
Occupying two storeys below ground the store is topped by a glass cube that rises within the plaza of a shopping centre, offering visitors views inside.

Apple Westlake, China, 2015
One of Apple's largest retail outlets in Asia, this store is a 15-metre-high glazed box with a cantilevered floor and glass staircases.
Its facade is made up of 11 double-glazed panels that can be shaded by mechanically controlled blinds concealed within the ceiling. Find out more about Apple Hangzhou ?
Apple Michigan Avenue, USA, 2017
A slender carbon-fibre roof designed to resemble a scaled-up version of the Apple's Macbook characterises this store on Chicago's waterfront.
The glass-walled building is flanked by two granite staircases that create a pathway from the neighbouring plaza to the river esplanade.

Apple Orchard Road, Singapore, 2017
Potted trees and sweeping staircases hand-carved from stone characterise the Apple Store in Singapore.
Like several other of the shops designed by Foster + Partners, the Singapore store incorporated greenery, with eight mature trees outside its entrance and 12 ficus trees inside.

It's not much different from when I last showed the pic. I did some more with her dress, her right arm is less buff, etc. The dress doesn't look exactly like the photo, but I really couldn't do any better than what you see here, cuz it has way too many lines. I am doing this with a mouse, not tablet, so I just can't do some of the parts right, her hair, mouth, etc. Any help would be nice, whether it's too short arm, too fat looking, or whatever. I'm trying to make this look as much like the photo as I can. ------------------ I believe I can fly! I believe I can touch the sky! I think about it every night and day!

Illinois' landmark contributions to accounting research and education date back to 1902, when the first accounting courses were developed. The Illinois tradition of excellence in graduate accountancy education began with the awarding of the Department's first master's degree in 1922 and its first Ph.D. in 1939.
Accounting research examines how accounting information is generated, measured, organized, and disclosed. Accounting research also examines how stakeholders use accounting information, the regulatory environment in which the accounting profession operates, the effects of standard setting bodies, and the judgment and decision making of accounting professionals and other business stakeholders.
Accounting research encompasses a broad range of topics, including laboratory experiments that attempt to provide an understanding of how decision makers use accounting information, empirical tests of market reactions to publicly available accounting information, analytical models illustrating how owners and managers resolve conflicts, empirical research related to taxation policy, artificial intelligence and expert systems in auditing, and the development of experimental markets.
Accounting research can be classified in a three-dimensional framework that is defined on the following axes: a) Accounting Domain; b) Research Methodology; and c) Core Discipline/Theoretical Framework. Almost every specialization in this framework is represented in Illinois' diverse faculty, making Illinois an ideal place to learn and to conduct research.

Daily life begins
I've just written my website account of Impact7, here's where I get to be extra-curricular.
I'm sitting in my studio with the far-side rollerdoor up, waiting for my new (old) wooden map drawers to be delivered. They were supposed to come yesterday, then 10:30 today, then 12:00 today... hopefully soon, anyway. I can't do any print work until they come, because all the flat spaces are covered in the stuff that was in my metal map drawers and they're being taken away for sale at the same time. So I'm catching up on my online writing in the meantime.
It's the first day of my new life, the one where I'm only working at the uni one day a week, and the rest of the week is for my studio. A bit scary, and I'm not sure how it will go financially, but for a short time I have the pay from my recent primary school residency and that should keep me going for a little while once I stop fitting out the studio!
Here's Padge, sitting in the shadows of my new/old double glass doors; they're ready to be installed by my friend Mark in front of the existing rollerdoors so that I can have light and air and not wind and leaves.
AH! Finally, at 1:15, the cabinets come. Dammit, they put the more solid one on top of the wobbly one; I'll have to do some argy-bargy with them once Best Beloved comes back from his business trip (the next 3 weeks in this house are like revolving doors, with each of us coming in & out and always missing each other!).
So now I have lots of drawers! Huzzar, watch me fill them up.
And lots of photos of my Melbourne jaunt, over at Flickr.
I had a lovely conference, helped by the fact that a friend had let me stay in her empty Melbourne flat for the week, and it was only one tram and one train stop from the venue.
Here's the best thing that happened to me during the week (closely followed by dinners and lunches with other friends):
Isn't he gorgeous? This is the little bundle of joy belonging to Laura (Lucy Tartan) and Dorian (Arty Fufkin), Leonard. I skipped a session so that I could cuddle him and he drooled all over my hand, and I treasured that drool all afternoon when I got back to the grind. He's a dear old soul,.
Here's his more serious side.
After the conference I stayed on for a couple of days.
This is the closest I got to the Grand Final: cupcakes in a show window. The whole day I was in denial about the football, which I figured was my birthday prerogative, it being my birthday that Saturday (all the fours, 44. I think my years are finally outnumbering my chin hairs). I went to a meeting of the Print Council of Australia, and after the meeting we drove around to a few exhibitions and had lunch at the gorgeous Abbotsford Convent. The city was eerily quiet; the last gallery was close by the MCG and I could hear the crowds and the whistles. At one point we were trying to find a taxi for someone to get to the airport. We found what we thought was a taxi rank, but it turned out to be a row of parked empty cabs outside a pub!
After all that I caught a tram up Nicholson Street and went to Gerald's Bar in North Carlton to meet up with a few blogging types.* The blogcall was: Elsewhere, Another Outspoken Female, Will Type for Food and Lexicon Harlot. Also joining us was an old lovey I'd lost from my past until we discovered each other on Facebook, which surprised the hell out of me (the FB bit, not the meet-up) because he's not a computery type. He happens to be a friend of WTFF Tim, and this fact pleases the hell out of me in a very Douglas Adams probability factor way. He brought his children along, and a good time was mostly had by all, I hope. Pol and the kidlings couldn't stay for dinner; AOF took us to a fab little Asian place down the road (it being her locale) and true to a foodie, the food was excellent. (Phew, you passed that test, G :) )
The next morning (Sunday) I was determined to go to the Camberwell Markets. Lucky that I was so detemined, because it was the daylight savings changeover, and I would normally stay in bed. I forced myself up, got out to the road, and lo, the trams weren't running for another hour. Bugger it, I thought, I'll walk. So I did. It was the first rain-free day for ages, and it was only 2 km.
The reason why I wanted to go so much is because of Michelle de Kretser and The Lost Dog. The markets are something Michelle would talk about both in the book and in her phonecalls to me. It's been years since then, but I got talking to Deborah Williams at the conference (one of her dog prints is on the cover) and that got me thinking about the book, and the markets, and I really wanted to go.
I wasn't disappointed. They are great markets, and I found all sorts of things. I came away with little funky hair clips, a magnifying glass, some postcards (of Canberra in the 1960s!)... yes, lots of LITTLE things that will slip easily into an already overstuffed bag for the plane. And then I found these.
OOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH. I loved the one on the left, mainly for the liquid-paper splatters all over the top ribbon cover. Then I saw that the right-hand one had a lovely hard case. I walked past them, and five minutes later came back. How much for the right-hand one?
I went all wobbly. It didn't seem dodgy, just didn't have a ribbon, but that's easily fixed (scroll down that link). So I bought it, gentle reader, and lugged it back on the tram to the flat. And then proceeded to rearrange EVERYTHING so that I could carry it in on with me on the plane. Hold that thought.
On the way out of the market, I stopped and talked to one of the stallkeepers about something and noticed his dog, who is obviously a seasoned vet at these markets:
When I found out his name is Gus, I went all wobbly again. You see, Michelle's dog, who was the inspiration for the story, and who is featured on the cover of the book, was called Gus. And that's why I was at the market. Man, some days are just like novels.
I need to stop, only because I've spent most of the day on this computer and my new drawers are calling out to me... but I just wanted to bring you back to my typewriter. I now have 5 typewriters, all with their own charms. This newest one gave me a big surprise when I got home. I opened the lovely hard case, and in the little pocket inside the top lid, was the ribbon, nicely wrapped in a freezer bag, and THE MANUAL AND THE 1984 RECEIPT OF PURCHASE. I am very fond of 1984, it was a year to remember, not always for good reasons. But I do find that most of my significant objects were made or marked for years that have personal significance for me, and I guess this one joins the club. And was a bargain to boot. I haven't seen a working typewriter under $100 for a couple of years now. Yay! Must have been the birthday germs.
*I have to apologise formally to anyone I didn't contact while I was in Melbourne. It was a very intense week, and energy levels fluctuated. I knew it would be so, which is why I issued such a lame blogmeet callout. I also meant to ring people, that didn't happen. I'm back in February, so let's do something then!

Love the new doors. It's going to be a magical studio.
I have an exceedingly ancient type writer. It's a portable and I'd say it's twenties or thirties. Will send a pic. Was a present from my brother and I love it.

Oh! The market! It's a wonderful institution, and is possessed of some sort of filmic quality of synchronicity or fate or coincidence... So many lost things find their owners there... Loved your typewriter story. And wondering if the magnifying glass wasn't my grandmother's!

Hello! If your grandmother has a pile of lovely brown plastic-handled magnifying glasses, then yes, it was her. And she knocked money off the price (or maybe she does that to everyone ;) )
I have to go back again when I wasn't in a hurry. It was such a good market.

In a PLC-controlled system, problems rarely occur inside the PLC. A malfunction is nearly always on the input side or output side of the PLC. The ladder diagram shows you what the inputs and outputs are, and it shows how each output responds to a given input change. This is, in fact, what makes a ladder diagram especially useful for troubleshooting — you can follow the current flows of control circuits to find what's wrong.
The output of one control circuit is often the input to another elsewhere on the drawing. For example, at line 27 on your drawing, a limit switch is an input to a relay control circuit. The circuit ends with a coil contact (output). When tripped, the switch provides a signal and the coil picks up, thereby energizing the contact.
Now at line 104, we see the contact again. This time, it's an input to a motor starter circuit. On line 138, the starter output contact is the input to a motorized control valve that dumps raw material into a mixer.
That valve is what we call "the final control element" for this particular process function. To determine why the mixer isn't getting raw material, you'd start with the valve and trace back the circuits that determine when the motor will operate to open the valve.

What's going to be mounted on these protruding brackets? So far the 2010 MotoCzysz E1pc has been lapping the Isle of Man without its full fairing on the motorcycle. If history teaches us anything, the presumption, of course, should be that MotoCzysz has something still up its sleeve before the team takes to the Mountain Course tomorrow for the TT Zero event. Last year it was batteries in the tail-section, this year it would seem to be streamlining the E1pc.
While Michael Czysz has derided the use of a dustbin style fairings in road racing, he has acknowledged that a course like the Isle of Man creates an opportunity for a race team to find some benefits in the design. As such, Czysz wrote three months ago that he would have a dustbin fairing at the ready, should someone else show up with one as well…and that's exactly what's happened.

SCRANTON — How do you raise $20K in a day? Invite some football stars to lunch.
An NFL invasion took place in Scranton on March 1 led by the star attraction, Matt McGloin, a former Oakland Raiders quarterback who grew up in Scranton. The event, "Tailgate for Kids," has so far raised more than $20,000 for the Children's Advocacy Center in Scranton, a private, non-profit organization dedicated to helping children and teens who have suffered abuse or neglect at the hands of friends, family or strangers. Its teen advocacy center is the first of its kind in the nation.
"I am always in awe of the passion, the tireless efforts and professionalism of the staff at the Children's Advocacy Center," said McGloin. "Unfortunately, there is a need for their services and if you just look at the sheer numbers of children they served last year alone they play an important role in the community. I simply want to help and I promised to do everything I can to help the center and what they do. I have played on many teams during my life, but I am extremely honored to be part of the CAC team. This is part of giving back."
St. Mary's Church Center on Mifflin Avenue was filled with kids and adults to meet and greet McGloin along with Penn State Assistant Football Coach Herb Hand and some Penn State cheerleaders. McGloin was accompanied by some friends: Henry Hynoski, a New York Giants Superbowl Champion; Mike Farrell, Denver Broncos; Matt Stankewitch, Jacksonville Jaguars; Derek Moye, Pittsburgh Steelers; and Penn State Football players J.R. Refice, Ryan Scherer, Andrew Goodman, Jake Fagnano, Mike Fuhrman, Pete Massaro, Mike Yancich and Eric Shrive.
CAC makes an impression
A dedicated volunteer at the center, Dave Evanko, had met McGloin and his father, Paul, at St. Ann's Novena in Scranton. He told them about the CAC and its work. Mc Gloin and his dad visited the center to see for themselves. McGloin decided he wanted to be part of the "team," and do whatever he could to help out.
Part of what makes CAC so special is that it cuts out the layered bureaucratic procedures that interfere with getting a frightened and vulnerable young person to ask for help.
At the "Tailgate" party, McGloin and friends sat at a long table, greeting fans and signing autographs. They signed T-shirts, sweat shirts, footballs, and photos. The line was nonstop the entire day. McGloin's parents, Paul and Catherine McGloin, and one of his two brothers, John, attended.
Paul said he was very proud of his son and that he loved sports from a very early age.
"Matt was a mascot for the West Side Football Youth League when he was three years old," Paul said.
"Sports for Matt was always very exciting, and he is a humble person who reaches out to help when he can," said his mom, Catherine.
600 families attend
For a $10 donation, children accompanied by an adult enjoyed games and hit up Matt and other players for autographs and pictures. At 7 p.m., a private reception was held with the players for a $100 donation. Assistant Penn State Coach Hand gave a motivational speech that got a standing ovation.
Executive Director Mary Ann LaPorta said the event was amazing — "blown out of the water" is how she put it. More than 600 families attended. PNC Bank was the main sponsor. More than $20,000 came in, but CAC hadn't finished counting.
All of the proceeds will directly benefit the Children's Advocacy Center.
"Just yesterday we had six more child abuse cases come into our center in need of help," LaPorta said.
You too can be on the "team." For more information or to make a donation, call 570-969-7313 or visit cac/nepa.com where you can learn more about the organization.
If you suspect that a child is being abused, call Childline at 1-800-932-0313.

The Cg is the best is has ever been (that´s not saying much)
This was a return to form for the series after the decent previous episode. A mess.Several confusing things about this episode, including a few bizarre changes to the Beherit-Apostle's talk with Luka, as it overreaches itself to try and explain why the ceremony is happening. It also repeated SK's poorly translated (and abridged) explanation of the ceremony. I pity new fans...Oh, and "Ashes" has officially been overused, my god. Every fight scene with Guts has to have this playing, at all times? It's become a caricature of itself at this point.
Why would an apostle have a brand.. If someone could confirm if he had that in the manga or not that'd be great.
Yes, that is how it is in the manga. Like he explains, he's a pretty unique kind of person. He had no one to give, so he sacrificed his body, "and the world around him."
Hey that's pretty good considering they were only given a nintendo gamecube and lunch money
I laughed pretty hard at this. A gamecube lol. Funny thing is im going back and playing the metroid prime series. on my gamecube...
BTW Metroid Prime is awesome hope nintendo stops doing coke with the berserk anime guys and make a new metroid
What a crock of shit. A recurring problem throughout the show is how much time they devote to the side conversations, reactions, and humorous quips that occur during every fight scene, and this episode brought it to its logical conclusion by completely drowning the actual fight in them. Hey idiots, there's a reason why Miura depicts those in small panels and lets the action take up most of his page space; because that's where your attention is supposed to be drawn.
the previews of the next episode which show the horrible cg used to generate final form.
Yeah and although i was joking, the sad truth is that alot of gamecube games look alot better (better character models etc) than the new anime.
Sad but true. I'm currently replaying the J-PS2 Berserk: Millennium Falcon game. It amazes me still how well the game looks being 12 years old. I have to bring up this picture again to let it sink in how far real talent & the correct use of 3D animation can go. If only the programmers and directors of this game were involved with making this anime instead. They stuck true with the original story and portrayed the characters in a way everyone could appreciate.

SPRINGFIELD (AP) — Illinois Senate Democrats want to boost general education funding by $156 million next year, not cut it, key budget negotiators said Friday, but acknowledged the increase would only keep per-student funding level.
Gov. Pat Quinn has proposed a $150 million reduction in general state aid for primary and secondary schools in the budget that begins July 1, largely because of the pressure of mounting pension obligations. But lawmakers should ditch that plan, Sens. Heather Steans and Dan Kotowski said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Steans, of Chicago, and Kotowski, from Park Ridge, discussed a budget "framework" a day after presenting it to their Democratic colleagues and just two weeks before the General Assembly's scheduled adjournment. It also calls for using hundreds of millions of dollars in unanticipated state revenues to immediately pay down past-due bills, an idea that has support in the House and that Quinn embraces.
Kotowski called it a "realistic budget" that recognizes education's importance.
"We see what businesses are saying. And families, they want a world-class education for their kids," Kotowski said.
But it's still not the full funding state law requires. This year, the so-called foundation level was $6,119 per pupil, and the state provided 89 percent of that. Quinn's proposed budget reduction would drop that proration to 82 percent. The plan from Steans and Kotowski would keep it at 89 percent — of the current level.
"We'd love to be able to fully fund education but this is not draconian," Steans said. "It really does provide a very good base. And until we deal with pensions, which clearly are an ongoing issue, we're going to continue to have pressures."
Lawmakers are trying to fashion a plan that likely will result in higher pension contributions by employees and less-generous benefits for retirees to close what has become a $97 billion shortfall in what the state must have to cover retirement benefits for current and former workers.
Quinn's assistant budget director, Abdon Pallasch, noted the Democrat's proposed budget would not reduce early childhood education or college grants while Quinn continues to make a pension fix his primary task.
"The administration is working with legislators to find ways to minimize cuts to other education-related areas of the budget," Pallasch said.
Steans and Kotowski, who each chair appropriations committees for the Senate, also stressed the desire of their caucus to use at least $400 million from unanticipated revenue this spring to pay overdue bills for social-service providers in programs that help seniors and disabled people in their homes.
The pay-down would continue reducing what until recently had consistently been a $9 billion backlog. State Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka's office said Friday the total in owed bills is down to $5.8 billion, of which $2.2 billion is truly overdue — 30 or more days old.
The budget outline presented by Steans and Kotowski includes $142 million to pay bills in the Department on Aging's program that helps seniors stay in their homes and $235 million for overdue payments to service providers for developmentally disabled residents in group homes and programs that relieve family members who are full-time, at-home caregivers to disabled children or adults.
The money comes from an "April surprise" that found more than $1 billion extra in state accounts, which experts believe came from wealthier taxpayers and corporations taking actions to minimize higher 2013 federal tax rates. So they expect them to be one-time revenues.
Senate Democrats estimate fiscal year 2014 general-revenue spending to be $35.1 billion, about 1 percent less than Quinn predicts, but that is $400 million up from the $34.6 billion estimated to come in this year. That would leave some room for the extra school spending, Senate Democrats' spokeswoman Rikeesha Phelon said.
House Democrats are of the same mind in terms of finding more money for classrooms. But Rep. William "Will" Davis, a Homewood Democrat who heads the Elementary and Secondary Education Appropriations Committee, said his colleagues are looking for the money in other parts of the spending plan.
"We still have some very challenging decisions with regards to other parts of the budget," Davis said.
Rep. Greg Harris, D-Chicago, chairman of the House Human Services Appropriations Committee, said this week his panel is looking for nearly $800 million in cuts from human services programs. But like his Senate counterparts, he is looking at the unexpected revenue as a way to pay down some bills now and avert cuts in the next budget year.

Lars Carlberg wrote: Many of these "entry-level" Rieslings, even if from purchased grapes, come from steep slate slopes and old vines. Moreover, the wines have plenty of ripeness nowadays, so that chaptalization is less common than before.
Very true. But to use the designation 'Gutsabfüllung' (filled by the producer) or to even use the term 'Weingut' on the label, cartons, and promotional matierial technically including the company website, the grapes have to come from parcels farmed by the producer - either owned or rented parcels. Many of the contracts for rented parcels last twenty years or more.
Some producers will just print thier name on the lable (like Selbach instead of Weingut Selbach-Oster) to get around this.

Pickled Plums and Onions (Home Canning Recipe)
08.09.10 by Jackie
Lulu and the girls gathered 4 large baskets of plums from our garden. I'm the only one who enjoys eating them fresh due to their sour-tasting skin, even though the flesh is sweet.
Instead of making my usual sweet fresh fruit preserves, I decided to pair the plums with the last crop of Creole onions and make plum and onion pickles.
Pickling fruit and vegetables is a lot easier that you might imagine. I made a sweet and sour brine out of white balsamic vinegar and agave nectar in which to submerge the fruits and vegetables. I added several spices such as juniper berries, a bay leaf, clove, garlic and cardamom seeds.
I let the food cure for about 6 weeks. Check back soon and see what I serve the pickles with!

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday that if the Bucs draft a quarterback, the team is expected to shop Glennon if they can net a second-round pick in return for Josh McCown's backup.
Build your own mock draft:
Make your best guesses here for all 32 picks of the first round of the NFL Draft and you could win a trip to attend the 2014 NFL Kickoff game. Play now ...
While new coach Lovie Smith told Glennon that he'll have a chance to compete with McCown this summer, the new regime has been comprehensively lukewarm in its support of last year's third-round selection.
If quarterback-needy teams miss out on the rookie of their choice, Glennon would offer clubs an intriguing combination of arm strength and on-field presence, which led NFL Films senior producer Greg Cosell to call him "far more advanced" than Robert Griffin III, saying "they shouldn't even be in the same discussion."
After we talked up Glennon as potential trade bait on last week's podcast, Chris Wesseling predicted the 6-foot-7 signal-caller would be wearing a new jersey by Sunday night, citing the Titans, Cardinals, Patriots and Bears as potential landing spots.
All four teams house respected quarterback tutors, with Ken Whisenhunt in Tennessee, Bruce Arians in Arizona, Marc Trestman in Chicago and Josh McDaniels in New England. A committed coaching staff could do wonders for Glennon.
With the rookie jitters out of the way and plenty to like about his game, Glennon's market looms as a juicy narrative heading into the draft.

Tournaments / Re: Wide Open 2016« on: June 25, 2015, 10:05:16 PM »
Nova mentioned me yelling at the crowds instead of a PA system. I did have one. Sunday was a crappy day for me. I came under an abrupt illness that shut me down for most of the morning/day. I worked through it slowly. At the moment we should have been setting up the PA, it was beginning to rain and I was just coming around to life again. I could barely see straight and I had not eaten since the morning breakfast that did me in. I didn't get my crew assembled and I didn't even know what to do with the rain coming down. I didn't know if it would last and I wasn't going to risk borrowed equipment that I had no room in my budget to replace. Things happen and that day everything seemed to happen at once. Sorry about that too.
A simple solution to this problem of rain is to have a megaphone as a backup to the PA system. I was at a boy scout camp with about 300 people today and they had a $10 megaphone that worked great. A good megaphone is about $30. Anyway, just an idea. No complaints.
I have volunteered as a spotter a couple of times and I want to say that the everyone treats spotters like royalty. Plus, you see some amazing things like McBeth throwing a horrible shot - shocking. Of course he still pared. I saw Gibson have a bad shot and fall on his butt and slap the ground - imagine your two year throwing a fit. Immaturity at its finest.
It's cool when top pros like McBeth thank you. So just go and volunteer!
Great work everyone. Proud to be KC!

Associated Press
There's no stopping Joel McHale this summer. The 41-year-old actor is busy with his E! reality spoof "The Soup" and preparing for the fifth season of the NBC comedy series "Community," which starts shooting Aug. 20. He's moving outside his comfort zone with a starring role in the upcoming supernatural thriller "Beware the Night." He plays a New York City police officer in the film, and at the time of the interview, was shooting on location in the Bronx. McHale calls the role a dream come true, especially because he gets to work with Eric Bana. He's also the host of the Klondike Celebrity Challenge, a social media effort. Fans decide the fate of three retro stars, including Alfonso Ribeiro of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and '80s pop singer Tiffany, by asking what they would do for a Klondike bar. A third star will be announced Aug. 12. McHale has taken a "one-at-a-time" approach to his various projects and says E! has been "superflexible." In a recent interview with The Associated Press, he talked about his various projects.
How would you describe "Beware the Night"?
Just to be in it, I was so thrilled, and then knowing I got to work with Eric Bana, who is one of my all-time favorites, was just a dream come true. Then you've got Olivia Munn in there and Edgar Ramirez is amazing. ... This cast is dynamite, except for myself.
What's it about?
It's kind of a horror film at some points but it's about these cops in the Bronx ... and it's a very violent, harsh movie, but with a really good story, and I'm thrilled I got cast in it.
You make fun of the Kardashian family quite a bit on "The Soup." Their show also airs on E! Are you ever told to tone it down?
Well, the Kardashians are incredibly savvy and they know if they are being talked about then that's good. And now Kris (Jenner) has a new talk show. They've got every single product. They are a machine and they actually now work very hard at what they're doing – I'm not sure what it is. ... For a while I know that they weren't (happy) and the Kardashians were going, 'Can you stop doing that?' But when we make fun of Bruce (Jenner,) no one has stopped me from doing that until Bruce comes up and punches me in the face.
Do you like the Kardashians?
They're incredibly nice. I've never witnessed diva behavior from them, which means they're pretty easy to work with, which is one of the reasons they continue. So many reality stars are, their egos become so awful and then they just ... peter out.
How many shows do you actually watch for "The Soup"?
Not as many as you'd think because I almost went insane when we first started when I was watching a lot of television and I got to the point where I was watching TV all day and going home and watching TV and I was going, 'I'm going to jump through this plate glass window if I have to watch another two hours of 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,' which was a fine show but after eight hours of television. ... So, we got a bigger staff and they cover, they find things that I didn't even know existed, like 'Felt' on Logo, which you should check it out because they take people's sex therapy sessions and have puppets act them out. Yeah. They do.
Are you amazed that some of these shows are actually broadcast?
I'm amazed all the time by what gets broadcast. It goes back to what an old friend told me back in college is that 90 percent of all art is pretty much crap and 10 percent is terrific, and so I think that's the same for television. I think we are in an era right now of some of the best television ever, and I think there's also the worst television ever, and I benefit from the worst part.
Are you surprised at the success of "Community"?
I knew the show was kind of a special kind of different show ... because (creator) Dan Harmon's brain is like nobody else's brain. Getting out of your first season is a nutso process as well. But to be in our fifth season, I can't believe it. And we've always had this lousy time slot. We've always been up against 'Big Bang Theory,' which is a juggernaut. And NFL football and March madness, and survived it. We're syndicated on Hulu which, whenever I look at the list, we're doing pretty well. I think the success is that our viewers are so young that they don't watch the shows at the broadcast time. But they still watch. ... I hope we get to six seasons and a movie. What is the Klondike Celebrity Challenge? People will Facebook or tweet what they would like a celebrity to do for a bar, and it can't be too crazy because the person suggesting it has to do it themselves. So you can't say, 'I would like Alfonso Ribeiro to commit arson.'

Crocodile Captured in Ocean County Neighborhood
The discovery of a three-foot crocodile walking along an Ocean Gate street leads to the search of the reptile's owner.
According to the Asbury Park Press, the crocodile was spotted on East Longport Avenue just after midnight on Tuesday. Berkeley township animal control officials removed the animal and reportedly placed it in a more appropriate surrounding.
Police describe the crocodile as a juvenile but still dangerous especially in residential community. They say the animal is also classified as exotic and requires a permit or license.
Anyone with information is asked to call Ocean Gate Police Detective Mike Kuchta at 732-269-6931 ext. 27.

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2014, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Jesus, ancient prophets and, by extension, Mormon apostles, considered "prophets, seers and revelators" in the 15 million-member faith, are often unpopular because they have to tell uncomfortable truths and insist on upholding moral standards.
These modern LDS leaders "know full well that the road leading to the Promised Land, 'flowing with milk and honey,' of necessity runs by way of Mount Sinai, flowing with 'thou shalts' and 'thou shalt nots,' " Jeffrey R. Holland, of the church's Quorum of Twelve Apostles, said in the opening session of the church's 184th Annual General Conference.
LDS Church President Thomas S. Monson did not announce any new temples when ushering in Saturday morning's session. But he noted that when all previously announced temples are completed, the Utah-based faith will have 170 such edifices throughout the world.
"We are a temple-building and a temple-attending people," the 86-year-old Monson said.
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints see temples as houses of God, places where they take part in their faith's highest sacraments, including eternal marriage.
Monson addressed more than 20,000 Latter-day Saints gathered in the Conference Center in downtown Salt Lake City and millions more watching on television or online.
For the first time, the general women leaders of the church's auxiliary organizations Relief Society, Young Women and Primary were seated among members of the Quorum of the Seventy. Usually, the women sit off to the right.
Controversy has arisen in the buildup to this two-day conference.
The group Ordain Women, pushing for female ordination to the Mormon priesthood, is again seeking standby tickets to Saturday night's all-male meeting. LDS officials have already said they wouldn't be accommodated and invited the women to watch the live broadcast of the priesthood session.
In addition, news reporters and photographers have been barred from Temple Square in downtown Salt Lake City. LDS officials hope to avoid a repeat of what happened last fall when media pictures showed women being turned away, one by one, as they sought tickets to the all-male priesthood meeting.
"We found the interaction between protesters and news media to be disruptive to the sacred atmosphere of Temple Square," a church spokesman said last week, "and do not wish to play host to similar circumstances again."
In Saturday's sermons, several LDS leaders emphasized the importance of Mormons following their church leaders even when their teachings may seem rigid.
"Unfortunately, messengers of divinely mandated commandments are often no more popular today than they were anciently," Holland said. And because their words at times seem harsh, LDS leaders are accused of being "provincial, patriarchal, bigoted, unkind, narrow, outmoded and elderly."
In contemporary society, "if people want any gods at all, they want them to be gods who do not demand much, comfortable gods, who not only don't rock the boat but don't even row it, gods who pat us on the head, make us giggle, then tell us to run along and pick marigolds," Holland said. "Talk about man creating God in his own image."
The apostle pointed to gospel teachings as divine and demanding, pointing out that Jesus said "not only should we not break commandments, but we should not even think about breaking them."
"And if we do think about breaking them," Holland continued, "we have already broken them in our heart. Does that sound like 'comfortable' doctrine, easy on the ear and popular down at the village love-in?"
Holland urged Latter-day Saints to "forsake transgression and any hint of advocacy for it in others."
Russell M. Nelson, also of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles, echoed that thought.
"Political campaigns and marketing strategies widely employ public opinion polls to shape their plans. Results of those polls are informative. But they could hardly be used as grounds to justify disobedience to God's commandments," Nelson said. "Evil, error and darkness will never be truth, even if popular. ... Immorality is still immorality in the eyes of God, who one day will judge all our deeds and desires."
Fellow apostle Robert D. Hales cautioned listeners against choosing which commandments to follow.
The commandment not to kill, he said, "is founded upon spiritual law that protects all of God's children, even the unborn. ... Yet many believe it is acceptable to terminate the life of an unborn child for reasons of preference or convenience."
The faith's newest apostle, Neil L. Andersen, who assumed his position in 2009, described another increasingly unpopular position the LDS Church maintains: opposition to same-sex marriage.
In the past month, Andersen said, the faith's governing First Presidency and Quorum of Twelve sent a letter to LDS leaders across the globe, reiterating the church's stand.
"Changes in civil law do not, indeed cannot, change the moral law that God has established. God expects us to uphold and keep his commandments regardless of divergent opinions or trends in society," the apostle said. "His law of chastity is clear: Sexual relations are proper only between a man and a woman who are legally and lawfully wedded as husband and wife. As the world slips away from the Lord's law of chastity, we do not. ...While many governments and well-meaning individuals have redefined marriage, the Lord has not."
But opposing same sex-marriage, he said, does not mean Mormons should be judgmental of those who support it, particularly gays.
"Everyone, independent of their decisions and beliefs, deserves our kindness and consideration," Andersen said. "The savior taught us to love not only our friends but also those who disagree with us, and even those who repudiate us."
He urged Latter-day Saints to avoid self-righteousness and to "enlarge our hearts toward all men and women."
"In the gospel of Jesus Christ, there is no place for ridicule, bullying or bigotry."
W. Craig Zwick, of the First Quorum of Seventy, also quoted that First Presidency and Quorum of Twelve letter, which read in part,"The gospel of Jesus Christ teaches us to love and treat all people with kindness and civility even when we disagree."
That sentence was, Zwick said, "a masterful reminder that we can and should participate in continuing civil dialogue, especially when we view the world from differing perspectives."
He bemoaned "unchecked anger ... in public places ... sporting events, in the political arena and even in our own homes."
Then Zwick noted the biblical verse which says, "A soft answer turneth away wrath."
"A 'soft answer' consists of a reasoned response disciplined words from a humble heart," he said. "There exists today a great need for men and women to cultivate respect for each other across wide distances of belief and behavior and across deep canyons of conflicting agendas."
Linda S. Reeves, second counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency, addressed the church's ongoing concern about pornography.
"Many children, youth and adults are innocently exposed to pornography," Reeves said, "but a growing number of both men and women are choosing to view it and are drawn back repeatedly until it becomes an addiction."
It is healthy for members who struggle with pornography to confide in loved ones or a church leader, she said. "We would be wise not to react with shock, anger or rejection, which may cause them to be silent again. We, as parents and leaders, need to counsel with our children and youth on an ongoing basis, listening with love and understanding."
Senior apostle Boyd K. Packer, the 89-year-old head of the Quorum of Twelve and next in line for the LDS presidency, did not attend Saturday's general sessions.
"Aside from when President Packer is speaking in General Conference, he will likely be preserving his energy by watching from home," said church spokesman Cody Craynor.

The fresh fava bean is a legume I have heard people swoon over and certainly Hannibal Lecter's infamous comment about them pairing well with liver and a nice Chianti in the book and film "The Silence of the Lambs" is arresting, so they have long "bean" on my list of vegetables to try out in the Crispy Garden. The seeds are huge: as big as my thumb and look as magical as any fairy tale bean, so they were easy enough to plant.
The plants are unusual and lovely as well. They grow fast into crunchy, squared off stalks with graceful leaves and black and white blossoms.
Unfortunately, as soon as the plants started to blossom, regiments of black aphids invaded, with accompanying camp followers of ants to stroke their adbdomens for some sort of insect "honey". They must have taken Lecter's culinary advice, because they were all over the delicate tips of my fava plants and I couldn't really squish them off without hurting the plants. I tried blasting them with water, but again, the fava tips are somewhat delicate, so I had this black blight on some of my fava beans when they developed their large seed pods. They come right out of the stalk of the plant, so this is truly an unusual looking vegetable to have in the garden.
The yield from one packet of seeds was not huge, but I did harvest one colander's worth of fava pods. They are very cute legumes, all snug in their downy sleeping bag pods. It is somewhat laborious wrestling them from these coccoons, sort of like waking up a teenager on a dark winter's morning. You can't just split open the pod and shake out the beans, like one does with fresh peas, as the pods are very fibrous and the favas each have a tough little umbilicus that one has to snap individually with a fingernail. After my wrestling match, my colander's worth of produce had shrunk down to 2 cups of favas.
Now I had still one culinary prep step to go with my favas. The bigger beans have a tough membrane that needs to be slipped off, so I prepared a hot and salty water bath for my favas and blanched them for 5 minutes. After they cooled, I again had a laborious project of attempting to slip off their skins, which worked on the bigger beans, but which only served to smash up my smaller favas, so in the end, I left the membranes on the smaller ones.
From two rows of fava plants to one colander of bean pods, now I had only one cup of precious, delicious, buttery favas. Such green gold must be accorded the finest treatment, so I hovered over cookbooks, cooking websites, perused my friend Linda's multiple fava recipe emails (she had been over for a garden tour earlier) and ended up making a simple, but luscious sauteed fava topper for some pasta.
It's a simple recipe: I heated some olive oil in a skillet, sauteed a few cloves of sliced garlic, seasoned with salt and pepper and added my favas for the last couple of minutes to heat through and then added this green crown to our bowls of pasta with some slivered fresh basil for an elegant Spring supper. Legume love indeed.
I'll have to consider planting favas again in another garden season. While the plants were gorgeous, if aphidious, the harvest was somewhat meager. I enjoyed picking them and cooking them, but it does seem unproductive to end up with one cup of edible greens after all that time and effort. Sort of like trying maple syrup production when one has only one tree.
Perhaps if I can research aphid control, it would make sense to grow them again if I could grill them in their pods as per this delectable recipe for Grilled Fava Pods with Chile and Lemon, and avoid the arduous shelling. I (with Linda's guidance) also noticed some other tasty recipes for favas which intrigued me for the future: Saute of Fresh Favas with Onions and Fennel, Tagliatelle with Favas and Romano, and Persian Sabzi Polo.
My kitchen and garden experiments with fava beans seem like a good submission for one of my favorite monthly food blog events, My Legume Love Affair, the brainchild of Susan, The Well-Seasoned Cook, which is being hosted this round by TongueTicklers. You can join in the fun by submitting a post about your favorite legume to TongueTicklers by July 31st. There are even a couple of prizes involved, including a cookie cook book and a collection of dried beans, so be sure to check out the MLLA Event this month.

Thank you for the details of the fava bean plant. This is a very informative and beautiful post. You are so lucky to have garden space for these plants!
I liked your comparison of the bean to a 'sort of like waking up a teenager on a dark winter's morning':). I having a tough time waking one teen and one pre-teen on dark rainy days!!

I have just discovered the wonder of fava beans! (Broad beans in the UK) I didn't like them as a child so had been avoiding them.
Will definitely try them on pasta.
Thanks for the post.

Broad beans are lovely - but I can't imagine the disappointment of all that effort for such a small return. It's bad enough when the massive bag from the greengrocer only yields a meal for 2 people!
