The Ticket and Colossal now in US theatres
Dan has two films released in the US this weekend: 'The Ticket' and 'Colossal'. Check out official sites for both films to find out where they are being screened. The Ticket is also available to US audiences as a digital download.
A new interview with Dan has been shared to promote The Ticket by Coming Soon. Read it in full on that site.
2017 might very well belong to Dan Stevens. The English star first caught fans' eyes as Downton Abbey's Matthew Crawley and soon won over genre fans as the lead of Adam Wingard's stylish thriller The Guest. In 2017, he has already played one of the title roles in the current biggest movie of the year. Walt Disney Pictures' Beauty and the Beast has passed $900 million at the global box office. This Friday sees the release of two more Dan Stevens films with Nacho Vigalondo's Colossal and Ido Fluk's The Ticket.
Then, April 14 will bring us another Dan Stevens film with Joseph Cedar's Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer. And that's not even mentioning Mr. Steven's hit FX series, Legion. From Fargo's Noah Hawley, the Marvel series just finished its first season.
"That's a lot of movies," Stevens laughed during a recent chat with CS about The Ticket. "…These things happen occasionally. I worked with Jessica Chastain about five years ago on a play. She had one of those years where something like seven different projects all came out… It's been interesting. It's quite a range of stuff."
Shout! Factory is distributing The Ticket in a limited run starting this Friday. Co-starring Malin Akerman, The Ticket sees Dan Stevens as a former blind man who, after regaining his vision, becomes driven by a newly-acquired sense of superficiality. In some ways, that's the reverse of Beauty and the Beast's exploration of inner beauty.
"There is a sort of dark fairy tale to it," Stevens continues. "Something magical happens. There is a magical transformation… [But] that's the story of most great movies. It's a part of the artistic expression. It's the heroes' journey. Something happens to the hero and it changes how he sees the world and makes him appreciate the marvels."
Indie Wire has a new clip from the film to share.
In addition to releases for The Ticket, Colossal and Norman in the US, it seems Permission will premiere at Tribeca next week!

New releases
3 films released in US in the last few days. How long will other fans have to wait to see them? After the excitement and all the publicity of B & B, seems a bit of a let down for other fans with no idea if or when they will be able to see these films.
release of Dan's films in the UK
This is so unfair. We have to wait for more than a couple of years for Dan's movies, and then they are released all in the same year. Some were made about 3 to 4 years ago. What's the problem withholding films. Do get your act together you distributors and sort out your priorities. Realise movies are made in the US, but we do get short-changed when we are treated as second in line re. distribution.
Keep seeing news about films that are about to be released or have already been released but are only available to see in the US..
TheTicket, Kill Switch, Permission ... when do we get to see them?
And why does Dan always seem to have to take on the part with an American accent? This distribution issue has been rumbling on now for soom time with no end in sight and no comment from those involved.
UK releasess
The trouble seems to be that a number òf films are made by independents rather than big studios such as Disney with their massive budgets. When it comes to distrubution these films only seem to be shown in a small number of cinemas and not the big chains. Fine if you have access, but not if you are outside the big cities. Unfortunatelý it all seems to come down to money.
Thanks to the success of Beauty and the Beast worldwide, Dan is gaining more well earned recognition and hopefully distributors, film makers whatever, will realise that there are a lot of admirers of Dan's work outside of the US that want to see his movies. If there appears to be the demand maybe, just maybe, we'll get a better deal.
new projects
Dan certainly is pushing himself with the number of films coming out this year! Seems to favour slightly off-beat themes and characters. A far cry from Downton.
Just read about Kill Switch, another sci-fi type of film, a favourite genre of his obviously. Would love to see him him in a good comedy, he always seems to have a great sense of fun and humour.
Whatever he does, hope it will reach a wider audience, not just US.
Little news lately about Dan and the films that have yet to be released in the UK. Really want to see The Ticket. So many films out this year hope they can be in cinemas here soon.
news updates
There has been no news on this site for several weeks _ no mention of films Dan has been working on. eg. Kill Switch, or Instagram posts. Not expecting weekly reports, but when there are new projects in progress that are featured in the press, would have thought they would have a mention here.
The ticket
Have watched The Ticket on You tube. Brilliant, moving film. Dan Stevens superb as always. Well worth watching.
Does anybody have any info about DVDs for The Ticket and Legion? Seems they are available in US but can't find any details as to when, or if they are to be released in UK.
Radio Times mentioned Legion box set, but can't find any further reference.
The Ticket is avalable on Youtube, but would like to keep.

Marlins help renovate local high school field
HIALEAH, Fla. -- Hialeah Gardens High School, the district champions in 2012, has a rich baseball history. Now, the Gladiators can boast about their first-rate field.
When the high school baseball season opens in early February, the Gladiators will debut their field makeover. This winter, professional grounds-crew workers from more than 20 big league teams assisted in renovating Hialeah Gardens High School's baseball field as part of a Major League Baseball initiative.
To celebrate the occasion, a ribbon-cutting ceremony took place on Tuesday at the field. In attendance were players, coaches, RBI Program members, students, faculty, local representatives and members of the Miami Marlins.
The renovation was a joint effort by the MLB grounds crew, the Baseball Tomorrow Fund and the Marlins.
"It's one of the many things that we do as part of our responsibility to give back to the community, which we do whether we win 100 or lose 100," Marlins president David Samson said. "The thing that is constant is the Miami Marlins are part of the community."
The Baseball Tomorrow Fund is a joint initiative between MLB and the MLB Players Association to promote youth baseball and softball around the world.
Hialeah Gardens High School was selected for a playing-surface upgrade. After the renovation, the green grass was expertly manicured, and the dirt infield and mound are of high quality.
"This is a renovation of a field that is a 'field of dreams,' a field of hope for many young men who want to come out here and get a title tomorrow," Miami-Dade County commissioner Jose "Pepe" Diaz said. "This makes it a little easier to play on a field like this."
Year-round, the Marlins stay active in a number of local charitable projects. Since Marlins Park opened in 2012, Samson said the organization has given more than $4 million back to the Miami area. Additionally, the Marlins Ayudan outreach program has invested more than 20,000 hours of service to the community.
Chad Mulholland, the Marlins Park grounds-crew director, organized the renovation, and he had assistance from workers from 23 of the 30 MLB teams.
"The Baseball Tomorrow Fund is honored to collaborate with the Miami Marlins, MLB groundskeepers, The Toro Company, Covermaster and Turface Athletics in a field renovation to support the growth of youth baseball," said Cathy Bradley, executive director of the Baseball Tomorrow Fund. "We are pleased to support not only the Hialeah Gardens High School and local RBI teams, but all players who will benefit from a safe, quality field."

David S. Goyer: I have Man of Steel sequel ideas
- Bang Showbiz
- 13 June 2013
David S. Goyer has already thought about the 'Man of Steel' sequel and has some ideas for the proposed follow-up to the new Superman flick
David S. Goyer already has ideas for a 'Man of Steel' sequel.
The film's screenwriter, who is reportedly contracted to write a follow-up to the highly anticipated Superman reboot, admits he has already begun brainstorming plot details for the sequel film.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz at the 'Man of Steel' European premiere in London's Leicester Square on Wednesday (12.06.13), he said: "I'm under lock and key, but it would be disingenuous to say we didn't [have ideas]."
It was reported earlier this week that movie studio Warner Bros. had tapped the scribe to pen a Superman sequel and a 'Justice League' film, which would unite several DC Comics superheroes including Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.
However, Goyer insists the proposed movies will be contingent on the success of 'Man of Steel', which hits cinemas worldwide this weekend.
He said: "A lot is going to depend on this weekend and next weekend. We certainly are hoping for a sequel."
The writer, who also penned Christopher Nolan's critically acclaimed Batman film 'The Dark Knight Rises', admits Superman was a "much harder character to crack".
He explained: "Batman is human; if you had enough money, enough training, you could become Batman. No one can become Superman. He's an alien and he's got virtually no vulnerabilities. He's harder to identify with and that was the biggest challenge; trying to humanize someone who is inhuman.
"Also, he's become a little bit corny, a little clichéd, so we needed to give him a little gravitas back so that's why we got rid of the red underwear and the spit-curl [hairstyle]. He's not the big blue Boy Scout. He's still a hero, but he's a hero for the 21st Century."
Zack Snyder's 'Man of Steel' sees British actor Henry Cavill take the lead role as the iconic superhero, while Amy Adams plays his love interest, roving reporter Lois Lane. The cast also includes Michael Shannon as villain General Zod, Russell Crowe as Superman's biological father Jor-El, and Kevin Costner as his adoptive father Jonathan Kent.
'Man of Steel' is in cinemas on Friday (14.06.13).

With its collections of ancient, modern and contemporary art, the Musée de Grenoble offers you a chance to traverse the history of western painting from the 13th to the 20th centuries. Included are major masterpieces of classical Flemish, Dutch, Italian and Spanish painting; one of 20th century Europe's richest collections; and all the great post-1945 contemporary art trends, right up to the most recent artworks of the 2000s.
This work was painted in 1888 during Gauguin's second visit to Pont-Aven, where he met up again with Emile Bernard and his young sister Madeleine, aged 17; Gauguin duly fell in love with her. The young woman depicted in this canvas does not look like the angelic portraits painted by her brother. She seems older and her attitude is that of a woman daydreaming. Her hair worn up, her enigmatic gaze, her made-up eyes and the careful drawing of her lips all make her a thoroughly charming seductress.
The portrait is set in the traditional way within a very sober décor. The illustration visible in the upper part of the picture, which was long attributed to Degas, is identified as a print by Forain titled At the Opera. The presence of clogs, decorated with Breton motifs, evokes Madeleine's attachment to Brittany. The broad swathes of colour, dominated by blue, made with a visible stroke in nuanced shades, enhance the model; as does the sinuous drawing of the face and arm, sometimes underscored by a ring, which contrasts with the rectilinear surfaces of the background. The decorative effect resulting from this interplay of lines and outlines shows the influence then being wielded on Gauguin by Japanese prints and the cloisonnism of Emile Bernard.
On the back of the portrait, Gauguin painted La Rivière blanche/The White River, a landscape in a very different style which reveals the experiments being undertaken by the artist in the early summer of 1888, which would culminate in a far-reaching change to his art.

I love Pineapple Upside Down Cake. They are not hard to make but I have only made one in my entire life. It was for Christmas Dinner in 2001.
The cake got pushed to the back of the counter and forgotten.
(Look how young and thin I once was!)
When I finally remembered it, it was looking a lot more Christmas-y than before.

Marcin Kawalerowicz runs a consultancy in Silesia, Poland. Craig Berntson has been Microsoft MVP since 1996. They are the authors of Continuous Integration with .NET.
ClickOnce is a Microsoft technology that lets you deploy a Windows Form or Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application via a Web page. With ClickOnce, users get to decide whether to install an application upgrade.
With ClickOnce, a "smart client" application is installed in a sandbox on the client machine with fewer rights than it would otherwise get. For example, it has no access to local files, and it's installed in a user's private folder, not in the Program Files.
For example, to make the Windows Calculator available via ClickOnce, go to the CiDotNet.WinCalc project properties and switch to the Publish tab (Figure 1). You'll need a Web server like Microsoft's Internet Information Service (IIS) to host your published apps.
Figure 1 shows a publishing target laying somewhere in the local network. In our test setup, IIS is installed on the ci1 server, sees the WinCalc folder, and is able to immediately host the WinCalc application. If you have Front Page Extensions installed on the remote IIS server you will be able to publish onto it right away.
To make the published version look nice you should define the deployment web page. Click on the Options… button. Fill in the Description then select Deployment from the listbox (Figure 2).
It's time for a test publication. Press the Publish Now button or use the publishing wizard. Then, launch Internet Explorer and open the remote location. Be advised that Firefox and other browsers do not support ClickOnce without special plugins.
Now, if you click Install, WinCalc will be installed on your computer. The whole process works like a charm from Visual Studio. With a command line (and eventually Continuous IntegrationI), it is not so easy, as you will see next.

Oh, you thought we were done with vuvuzelas? Hell no, now you can play the bitches in the inevitable "Vuvu Hero" flash game spoof.
Newgrounds' Rubber Ninja, well ahead of the trend curve, gives us a game that'll make you want to punch yourself in the face. There's only one fret of course, but the note highway does seem to travel in time with the music, and the lag makes it a real challenge to chain together note sequences. I played "Tetris on the Toilet" and only got "that was kind of alright."
Six songs are included with Vuvu Hero. Here's the setlist.
• Girlchan in Paradise by Egoraptor
• CAD Song by Ken Ashcorp
• Slap Chop Acoustic by Chadneidt
• A Glorious Dawn by Symphony of Silence
• I Wish There Were Still Dinosaurs by Ken Ashcorp
• Vuvu Hero by Ken Ashcorp
• Tetris on the Toilet by Evildog
No DLC is planned as of yet.

For the most part, Western science views culture top-down, as an expression of theory. It tries to justify systematized sets of rules through logic and consistency or coherence, looking for a single, universal, objective foundation for judgment. This objectivism almost inevitably slides into ethnocentrism as some privileged understanding of rationality is falsely legitimated by claiming for it an unwarranted universality.
(from Origin Myths and Migration Theory via Examining the Myths and Realities in Indian Country at the Time of European Contact)
I've been running this lecture over in my head since it happened on Thursday. (The reason I didn't speak up about stuff like conflating theory with viewpoint and Dr. Olson-Raymer literally saying "just a theory" at one point was that the class is dramatically behind schedule and I've been erring on not making the situation worse.) I was at the point of writing a letter with the intent of getting it read first by a few friends and classmates and in doing so went to reread the lecture notes. And then I clicked on a link and it got so much worse.
Essentially, the lecture states that scientific theories and the various Native American creation myths (and I love Joesph Campbell, I use the word myth with the utmost respect) are equivalent in their ability to explain how Native Americans got to the Americas. "Reality: From a strictly scientific viewpoint, we do not know how ancient human remains might be related to contemporary Indian peoples, nor do we know from whence they came" (emphasis in original). The linked page goes even further, putting the scientific method and all empiricism into a relativist construct. It also argues that empiricism "inevitably slides into ethnocentrism," so science is also ethically problematic. There's also this straw man about conflating theory and fact which I'll get to later.
On some level, not being a science teacher (or a scientist full-stop) means understanding that my discipline, history, doesn't have exactly the same epistemological framework as science. I get that, I think I always have. (The extent to which historians are just a catty as scientists are is new though!) Approaching something like miasma theory as a historian, even of science, is fundamentally different from approaching it as a scientist. Both care about the theory and its ramifications, but the scientist is concerned with why it's wrong while the historian is concerned about why people thought it was right.
And those of you reading this that know me, especially if it was as Cal before Isaac, know how equivocal I am. It takes a lot of willpower not to make the implicit "I think" and "I believe" clauses explicit throughout my writing. (Queue Skaald screaming "Bloody neutrals!" over Zero's mic.) That comes from trying to be empirical above all else, which means accepting what I know, don't know, and how well I know those things. That need to equivocate is also because I embrace postmodernism.
(In the spirit of disclosure, I am an atheist. I would have these same issues not dismissing the Bible out-of-hand where it has major historicity problems during a unit on the ancient Near East for example. I would hope I would have them even as a theist, but who knows!)
I understand that even things I'm aware that "I know" are subject to biases that are at some point insurmountable. But the quote above, that's something else entirely. There is a thin but bright line between "I have biases and they cannot be completely corrected for, therefore you should take what I say with a grain of salt" and "I have biases and they cannot be completely corrected for, therefore objective reality is unknowable." The line between that and ". . . therefore objective reality doesn't exist" is less bright and I'm not sure if the article goes all the way there.
I do not understand how one can reject the fundamental bases by which they are transmitting these sorts of ideas. How one can critically assess something using deductive logic at one moment while rejecting it as a means to understand objective reality the very next? As historians and as history teachers, we base our work on things like logic and analysis. This is literally what I do every day now. We of course need to engage with how a culture sees itself, especially if they're a group that has been historically taught about poorly, but we need the capacity to put their views aside and say they do not agree with anything else. (This is where something like young Earth creationism could completely destroy a discipline.) We have to be able to say that people are wrong in so far as what they believe tells us about objective reality.
Moreover, I am troubled by the implication that we can take information from other disciplines and effectively remove it from its epistemological context. An accepted scientific theory isn't just a theory, it's a dude standing with his arms out screaming "Come at me bro!" and beating all comers to date. It's not a fact, it can be improved upon or shown to be outright wrong later, but right now it's the gold standard of empirical knowledge. A theory in the common usage is a hypothesis which is something else entirely.
Beyond the level of "words mean things" is the question of when historians are using information from other disciplines to do history, what is the appropriate level with which we can interact with it? Where does the conflict between "good history teacher, bad science teacher" resolve? I can make a joke about Texas public education here, but their objectives are clear: make people dumb and passive thinkers. At my school, in this class, we go on and on about the importance of critical analysis except here, and maybe elsewhere? It's fantastically easy to be cynical here, or make jokes about indoctrination, but there has to be something else. Right?

Looking at old pictures.
I had another dopamine rush caused by Anne's e-mails…
You can read this article if you want to fully understand this one.
I wrote it in May 2010.
Alyce had this picture. She wanted to throw it away with all the others she had. They belonged to her father and she knew nothing about who these people were.
It's with Alyce's other pictures that I manage to figure out who were some people on this picture taken in 1921.
Her father David, her grandfather Idala of course, Olivine Idala's second wife sitting on the chair, Anthony the eldest of the boys, Rose the eldest of the daughters and three other boys I believe are Samuel, Rudy and George.
I am not sure about these three but it would make sense when you look at their birthdates.
We recognize Eugene Moreau and his two daughters Beatrice and Alice.
No clues about the dog's name. I will have to dig some more…
What is so rewarding is that this picture which means little to most people, now means a lot to Anne, my new found reader who has found part of her family.
She has now access to Alyce's pictures and also to Claudette's pictures who is Alyce's cousin. Claudette is Samuel's little girl.
Want to know more? Click here.
So this is what makes genealogy so addictive.
If I may give you a strong piece of advice, keep those precious pictures in a safe place like a safe.
One another safe piece of advice is to scan these pictures.
You never know when someone will send you an e-mail.

TUCSON (Wednesday, February 5, 2013) -- A husband and wife have been indicted on multiple charges of fraudulent schemes and theft from a Tucson-area school that serves career and technical education students, Attorney General Tom Horne announced today. The indictment names Melinda Carpio and Enrique Carpio.
"This is a very serious matter," Horne said. "The Pima County JTED serves hundreds of students who rely on the school for outstanding career and technical education programs. It is very disturbing to think that taxpayer dollars that were intended for educational needs may have been misused, and my office will vigorously prosecute this matter.'
The Pima County Sheriff's Office began investigating Mr. and Mrs. Carpio after receiving a report from the Chief Financial Officer of Joint Technical Education District (JTED), where Mrs. Carpio was employed as the Accounting Services Manager. The CFO of JTED, in preparing the annual report, noted a discrepancy between a JTED expenditure and the accompanying vendor payment. An internal audit was conducted in which multiple inconsistencies were discovered. Further investigation revealed that, over the course of three years, Mrs. Carpio had allegedly directed payments to Mr. Carpio, under the guise of a variety of fictitious vendors. Upon reviewing bank records obtained during the investigation, detectives confirmed that approximately $300,000.00, allegedly embezzled from JTED, was deposited into Mr. and Mrs. Carpio's shared bank account. Mrs. Carpio was terminated from her employment and the case was referred to Assistant Attorney General Michael Jette for prosecution.
JTED is a Pima County based public high school district providing free career and technical education to all sophomore, junior, and senior level high school students in Pima County to give them a head start on college and careers. JTED serves students from public, private, and charter schools, students who are home-schooled, as well as students who either have, or who are in the process of earning, a GED.
Mr. and Mrs. Carpio have been charged with four counts of Fraudulent Schemes and Artifices, class 2 felonies; two counts of Theft, class 2 felonies; and 2 counts of Theft, class 3 felonies.
These charges are merely allegations, and the defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

No I hadn't seen that, many thanks for the link as it looks very interesting. My inspiration was part WW2 war movie and part the real-world Arctic submarine missions in the late 50s/early 60s, some of which were pretty hairy.
Thanks for the correction, I meant Perisher but typed the wrong thing, I've corrected it now.
*spoiler alert* Yes, Wolverine is headed into the Baltic, Bruce had PM'd me the other day asking if the RN does what the Germans are doing, covert submarine recon of ports etc. and I felt that the Baltic would suit the submarines very well.
Wolverine is relieving another submarine on station (or recently returned to port), I envision a cruise along the Baltic coast taking in the major ports and German exercise areas, Wolverine might go a bit further East than Bornholm if her skipper thinks the Jerries are hiding something further east. I suspect they will be out of the area by May so I don't think they will run into your exercise.

Many years ago, maybe 12 years ago, I had Ethiopian food with my mom. I really didn't like it. I remember that it gave me some kind of crazy stomach ache. My mom and I tried to go for a walk, but I felt icky. Also, Mr. Vegan Eats & Treats had Ethiopian food once, many years ago, and he didn't like it either. But nowadays, all the cool kids are always going on and on about "injera this" and "ethiopian that," and I've been feeling kinda left out. It's not like we have Ethiopian restaurants here in Santa Cruz, so I decided to bravely return to the "scene of the crime," and give Ethiopian food another shot.
So, I turned to the obvious authoritative source on vegan Ethiopian eating, Miss Kittee's esteemed and most delightful Papa Tofu Zine, which happens to have quite an impressive collection of Ethiopian recipes. I picked out a few recipes to make and got to writing out my grocery list. Wait. What's this? I need sourdough starter? Oh, okay. So, I bought a little packet of sourdough starter at the store. Wait. What's this? The sourdough starter needs 24 hours to activate. Oh, okay. So, I put off Ethiopian food for another day or two. Reading the recipe for this legendary fermented Ethiopian bread called injera, I come across another surprise. Wait! What's this? The injera batter needs to sit out for 3 days? Oh, okay. I didn't realize you need to plan 3 months in advance to make homemade Ethiopian food. I was afraid I'd have to have some sort of "Around the World in 30 Days" flight delay!
After dinner we rest on the sofa with our furry buddies. Mr VE&T watches tennis and I draw cartoons and snuggle the furbies. (attentive readers: don't worry, I'm not neglecting Stevie Wonder. She likes to sit on the futon in the computer room after dinner most nights, not on the sofa with the rest of us. She is an antisocial weirdo and we love her anyway. You'll have to go into the computer room if you want to visit her.)

Wow Cathy, I think that's my favourite so far and the green makes it. I did a class in this technique and it is a lot of fun.

Love your choice of fabrics, fabulous combination. Not sure if I can do wavy either, but might have to give it a go - your quilt is a great inspiration.

That is turning into a beautiful quilt Cathy. I know what you mean about having to cut straight lines with a ruler - it is quite difficult to just let go.

I've been very tempted by those waverunner quilts! It's been fun watching all the different quilts put together by the quiltalong -- they are all turning out great! I've been really loving how it looks with all solids, but now you're showing how awesome it looks with prints (well, a combination really). Very pretty, Cathy!

It's really quite lovely! You've inspired me (again) to try something I've never done before. I, too, am a perfectionist and just cannot imagine cutting into fabric without a ruler. I'm going to put this on my "to-do" list. THANKS for sharing.

Where do you leave your bike while you're at work?
In your office/cubicle?
In a storage closet or indoor stairwell?
In the locker room?
Covered bicycle-specific parking (cage, bike rack, etc)?
Outdoor bicycle-specific parking?
Chained to whatever stationary object you can find?
Let me know. I have been talking to management and HR about the feasibility of parking indoors once I get my new bike.

My office has a cheap but covered bike rack, away from the street. The rack itself is pretty old, typical of about the mid 70s... like this one. I can look out my window and see my bike if I need to. It's also away from the street, which is nice - by the back entrance to our building. I personally like this kind of rack because it offers more options as to how to actually do the locking of your bike.
I'd prefer to park my bike indoors but right now that's not an option.

I really wish we could edit these things.
Anyhow, I have some room in the warehouse section of our building. Not much goes on there. Kind of just a junk storage device. I brought a desk, chair and lounge chair back there when I want to read in private or take a nap. Only me and the janitor know about it.

My office happens to be a converted school room on the third floor in the main administration building. I just bring my bike up the elevator and then park it next to my desk. I have facilities for recharging lights, and airing out gear. The only downside is when the only elevator in the building does out. Then I have to push the Bike up 3 flights of stairs.
- April 13, 2007 1:39 PM
Because the destinations of my commutes vary a lot from ride to ride, so do my methods for securing my bike. In the past, I've attached it to racks, lamposts, benches, handrails and--when I either have no choice or it seems safe--even to nothing at all.

Sorry about this mornings junk. I had just returned from having my dental work done and was kind of on another planet.
Here is the link to the warehouse and my bike, desk and sleeping chair.

The office building at Corporate Woods was kind enough to install a small bike rack out back by the loading dock. I was happy to park my 1977 Yama 10-speed there -- and then I got my baby last July. No way I was parking it out back, unattended.
"Don't ask, don't tell" kind of sums up my parking now. I carry the bike into the building, up one flight of stairs and into my office. The bike is light so it never hits the ground until I set it under my window -- that way, I figure, no one can really complain.

I generally bring the bike in the office with me. On rain days I'll park it in the covered, secure bike parking facility we have at my office -- electronic badge access required to get into the bike garage.

There is a set of bike racks in the parking garage at work, but since I have my own office, I prefer to bring mine indoors where I can see it.

I am able to park in a room adjoining my classroom in Kansas City. I carry my bike up to the second floor and roll it into my room.
I talked to someone today who told me that at her workplace in Overland Park she is forbidden to bring her bike into the building. Does this happen much?
- April 15, 2007 5:19 PM
We have a few options at work -- an outside bike rack that will fit about 10 bikes, a secure caged area in the parkade that will hold about 70 bikes (costs $75/year) and several open-area bike racks in the parkade that will hold probably close to 200 bikes (cost $35 / year).
- April 16, 2007 4:31 PM
We have a locked and alarmed store room next to the elevators in my building. I have a key and the code - pretty cool except when I'm the last one to leave, more ofter than not I set the alarm off :) If I'm feeling lazy, like today, I just park in my office.

I LOVE that store!!!
Hey guys...there is also a store at the southwest corner of 13/mound. It is called MPS pet supply. I have found Khan's food there even cheaper than K-9. Although K-9 rocks for treats, bones and bully sticks.
MPS Rocks. Been there a couple times. They carry the NV raw premix. For some stuff K9 is cheaper. Like Canidae.
But there's a store in Birmingham that's also really awesome. Napier Kennel. They carry TW for an awesome price and they have the best price on EVO I have yet to find. The last time I was at K9 they didn't have EVO. Napier Kennel staff are really knowledgable and extremely helpful.
I went there today, to Napiers Kennel and they have some nice stuff. Picked out nice lead for Vuk, a TW and I saw thatthey carry Instinct too!!!! Wooo hooooo!
Also, the Classic Pet Supply at 12 mile and Schoener is an OK store. They have at least a good selection of Wellness and Merrick foods.

I'm not really a fan of Frank Bruni's, but this op-ed is an outstanding statement of the value of culture, expressed with a telling example from King Lear (the kind of thing I'll be hammering on when I get to that play—hope you'll be paying attention, Ira Glass). A small balm after the shocking death of David Carr, the New York Times's most humane presence in these darkening days.

Avalanche goalie Giguere to retire: reportNHL.com @NHLdotcom
Colorado Avalanche goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere is expected to announce his retirement in mid-June, the Toronto Sun reported Monday.
"I do not see a reason to remain in the League," Giguere said, according to the QMI Agency. "I just want to be sure to do it right, to meet my agent Bob Sauve and talk to the Players' Association."
Giguere was 11-6-1 with a 2.62 goals-against average and .913 save percentage this season as the backup to Semyon Varlamov.
Giguere, 37, was the 13th pick of the 1995 NHL Draft by the Hartford Whalers.
In 17 seasons with the Whalers, Calgary Flames, Anaheim Ducks, Toronto Maple Leafs and Avalanche, he was 262-216-64 (with 25 ties), a 2.53 GAA and .913 save percentage.
He won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player of the 2003 Stanley Cup Playoffs, when the Ducks lost the Final to the New Jersey Devils in seven games. He won the championship with the Ducks in 2007, when they defeated the Ottawa Senators in five games.
He was 33-17 with a 2.08 GAA and .925 save percentage in 52 playoff games, all with the Ducks.

Past Global Changes, IGBP
Project DescriptionPast Global Changes (PAGES) is the International Geosphere-Biosphere
Program (IGBP) Core Project charged with providing a quantitative
understanding of the Earth's past environment and defining the envelope of
natural environmental variability within which we can assess anthropogenic
impact on the Earth's biosphere, geosphere and atmosphere. In order to
permit validation of their effectiveness, models intended to predict
future environmental changes must be capable of accurately reproducing
conditions known to have occurred in the past.
PAGES seeks to obtain and interpret a variety of palaeoclimatic records to
provide the data essential for the validation of predictive climatic
models. PAGES seeks the integration and intercomparison of ice, ocean and
terrestrial palaeorecords, and encourages the creation of consistent
analytical and database methodologies within the palaeosciences.
PAGES research is divided into five focus areas with associated
activities and tasks:
Focus 1: Global Paleoclimate and Environmental Variability
Paleoclimate of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres (PANASH)
- PEP I (Pole-Equator-Pole I): The Americas Transect
- PEP II: The Austral-Asian Transect
- PEP III: Afro-European Transect

By DonalBane of Blakmers
Battlefield Reporter, Pennsic Independent
After 19 War Points: East Tygers 16, Midrealm Dragons 3
The final armored combat fight of Pennsic XL took place Friday as the Grand Armies of the Midrealm and East met for the Field Battles. This year, there were three battles, each worth one War Point, fought to the last man standing.
The host of the Midrealm lined up one last time on the east side of the field. Though there was some movement during the battle, the Midrealm posted Ealdormere, Drachewald and Calontir to the south, the bulk of the Midrealm army to the center and Northshield, Black Talon, the Mercenary Union and Meduseld to the north.
The Eastern army formed with superior numbers on the west side of the field. The Tyger lined up with its allied kingdoms, The 404 and others to the south, the Southern Army and the Northern Army in the center and Æthelmearc, Atlantia and the Tuchux to the north.
At the cry of "Lay On!" the forces in the south slammed into each other. Both sides were isolated from the whole of the battle, so attrition was high on both sides.
In the center, the first fight saw a force of the Midrealm warriors circle around and engage the Æthelmearc army from behind.
However, the key in all three battles came from the north side of the field. The Midrealm allies' forces fought bravely, but there were too many opponents to overcome. In the first fight, the whole of the Tuchux reassembled and rumbled toward the center of the field.
With a black wave falling from the north, the outnumbered Midrealmers were slowly overrun. The East claimed the first War Point.
For the second fight, Black Talon crossed the field to the East's side. The second fight saw the decisive move again come from the north. This time, a perfectly-time pincher move from Atlantia and Æthelmearc punched a hole in the Midrealm defenses. The two kingdoms then snaked their way south over the whole of the battlefield until a small force of Ealdormere warriors were swept from the field.
The third fight allowed for combat archery and siege weapons. With much fanfare, the Mercenary Union crossed the field to the East side before the fight.
Despite the Midrealm committing the Midlands army to fill the gaps in the north, once again the East's forces from the north broke out and rolled south. The Tuchux were seen marauding south as the final cannon sounded.
HRM Lucan of the East was very pleased with his forces' effort, going so far as give the Tuchux a bottle of scotch as a reward. HRM Lucas expressed satisfaction with both sides.
"I would like to thank all who came out to the field today," HRM Lucan said. "With the War decided, there was some fear the numbers would be light. It was great to see the heart of the Dragon and the claws of the Tyger meet on last time. It was a great and glorious day."
HRM Arch of the Midrealm also was in good spirits as he addressed his troops for the final time at War.
"The numbers may not show it, but We feel like We are the winners this War," HRM Arch said.

How does this medication work? What will it do for me?

49ers' Culliver arrested on hit-run, brass-knuckle charges
Niners cornerback Chris Culliver was jailed Friday in San Jose after he slammed into a bicyclist while driving on a suspended license and tried to flee, according to San Jose police.
His arrest marked the latest off-the-field trouble for the 49ers and for Culliver, who may be best known for anti-gay comments he made on a radio show before the 2013 Super Bowl.
Culliver, 25, who sat out all of last season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee, was driving recklessly in his white Ford Mustang when he struck a bicyclist shortly after 10 a.m. Friday at Tully Road and South 7th Street in south San Jose, police officials said.
As Culliver left the scene, another motorist who witnessed the accident followed Culliver and cornered him on a nearby street, police said.
Citing police accounts, KTVU reported that Culliver got out of his car and threatened the witness with brass knuckles, then tried to flee again but ran into the witness' car.
Officers arrived and arrested Culliver without incident. He was booked into Santa Clara County jail on suspicion of several crimes, including felony and misdemeanor hit and run - the felony presumably for the bike crash.
He was also arrested on suspicion of felony reckless driving, felony possession of brass knuckles and misdemeanor driving on a suspended license.
The bicyclist suffered minor injuries, police said.
Culliver was released after posting bail Friday afternoon.
The 49ers drafted Culliver out of South Carolina University in the third round of the 2011 NFL draft.
During a media day radio interview with a comedian before Super Bowl XLVII, Culliver said that a gay player wouldn't be welcome on the 49ers. He apologized later.
In a statement, 49ers officials said they were aware of Friday's arrest.
"We will remain in contact with Chris and the local authorities as we continue to gather the facts regarding this situation," the statement said. "As this is an ongoing legal matter, we will reserve further comment at this time."
Culliver's arrest is the latest in a series of off-field law enforcement run-ins by members of the team.
Niners linebacker Aldon Smith missed five games last season and entered rehab after a Sept. 20 incident in which he was arrested for driving under the influence. The DUI arrest was Smith's second since January 2012 and the team was widely criticized for allowing Smith to play two days after the arrest.
In another case, Smith was charged with illegally possessing assault weapons he allegedly bought over the counter in Arizona.
Last August, linebacker Ahmad Brooks was arrested after allegedly hitting then-teammate Lamar Divens three times in the head with a beer bottle and punching him in the face. The Santa Clara district attorney's office decided not to file charges when it was determined that a history existed between Brooks and Divens, and that Brooks might have been acting in self defense.

12 Chocolate Cookie Recipes We Love
Sure, we love chocolate chip cookies, but sometimes those chips just aren't enough—you want more. That's when a truly chocolatey chocolate cookie does the trick. From espresso-chocolate sandwich cookies to Nutella-stuffed chocolate numbers, here are a dozen chocolate cookie recipes we love.
Nutella Dream Cookies: These cookies have a soft and cakey chocolate exterior that's studded with chocolate chips and chopped hazelnuts—and a core of rich Nutella.
Chocolate Espresso Buzz Cookies: Melted dark chocolate in the powder, mocha buttercream in the middle—these sandwich cookies deliver on both chocolate and coffee flavor.
The Fauxreo: Try your hand at making Oreos at home: nothing refined, nothing fancy, just deliciously processed-tasting chocolate-and-cream fun.
Chocolate Chubbies: "Not really a cookie or a brownie, these Chocolate Chubbies from Sarabeth Levine's Sarabeth's Bakery are somewhere in between."
Chocolate Mint Thumbprints: "Once the cookies bake, they're filled with a super easy peppermint-spiked white chocolate ganache that's spooned into the thumbprints and chilled until they set."
Fudge Cookie and Mint Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches: "The cookies for this sandwich are somewhat like a traditional ice cream sandwich cookie, but with a much more intense chocolate flavor." Sandwich them around mint ice cream.
Chocolate Log Cookies: "Though they might resemble baby Bûche de Noëls, these sweet treats are all cookie: a deep, dark, chocolaty crumbly and buttery cookie smothered in chocolate frosting."
Gluten-Free Salted Marcona Almond Cookies: Looking for a gluten-free option? These super-rich chocolate cookies are "part brownie, part cookie," with a Marcona almond pressed into the center of each one.
Chocolate Crinkles: Chewy, chocolatey, and dead simple.
Chocolate Ginger Molasses Cookies: "By adding both cocoa powder and chocolate to snappy ginger-molasses cookie recipe the cookies have deep, bold flavors of warm spices and chocolate."
Chocolate Turtle Cookies: Pecan-rolled chocolate cookies with a caramel-cream filling.
Bourbon Balls: "A decidedly grown-up no-bake cookie... the dough is a mixture of bourbon macerated raisins, chopped pecans, and crushed chocolate wafer cookies spiced up with a warm mix of cloves, ginger and cinnamon."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- The Ivy League has announced the names of 80 student-athletes – including 10 from Harvard—who have been named to the fall 2012-13 Academic All-Ivy League team.
The honorees are starters or key reserves on officially recognized varsity teams who have cumulative grade-point averages of at least 3.0. Each of the eight Ivy League schools nominates five men and five women from its eligible student-athletes.
Three member of the Harvard football team, two women's cross country runners, two men's soccer players, a field hockey player, a member of the women's volleyball squad and a women's soccer student-athlete comprised Harvard's nominees.
On the men's side, senior quarterback Colton Chapple of the Harvard football team was named the Asa S. Bushnell Cup recipient as the Ivy League's Offensive Player of the Year and was the unanimous choice for All-New England by the New England Football Writers Association. A psychology concentrator and a native of Alpharetta, Ga., Chapple was tabbed on the Beyond Sports Network All-America second team and was the New England Division I FCS Gold Helmet Award winner as the region's Player of the Year. An All-Ivy first team pick, Chapple set Harvard's single-season record for passing touchdowns with 24 and was the nation's second-rated passer.

Estimation of logistic regression in LCA
Mplus Discussion
Latent Variable Mixture Modeling
Chia-Yi Chiu
posted on Friday, September 13, 2013 - 2:47 pm
I am using Mplus to estimate a logistic regression through LCA. The user guide indicates that the Maximum likelihood estimation with EM is used. However, I would like to know more. Is MMLE used with EM or other form of MLE? What optimization method does Mplus use in the M-step? Are there other options available to estimate the model? I am writing a paper promoting the use of Mplus, and all these details have to be clarified. Also, is there any reference comparing the LCA in Mplus and MCMC? Thanks. Any comments are welcome!
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Friday, September 13, 2013 - 5:37 pm
I think by MMLE you mean marginal maximum-likelihood estimation, and if so, yes, this is done in Mplus. We also use pseudolikelihood estimation when there are complex survey data features - see our special website section for that:
especially the paper:
Asparouhov, T. (2005). Sampling weights in latent variable modeling. Structural Equation Modeling, 12, 411-434.
For a description of algorithms used with mixture (LCA) modeling using ML, see page 615 of our Version 7 User's Guide which is available on our website.
As shown in the UG examples, Mplus also does 2-level LCA.
You can also estimate the LCA model using Bayesian analysis. We have not written about ML vs Bayes comparisons for LCA. We do, however, have a paper on a specific use of Bayes for a generalized LCA:
Asparouhov, T. & Muthén, B. (2011). Using Bayesian priors for more flexible latent class analysis. Proceedings of the 2011 Joint Statistical Meetings.
This is posted under Papers, Latent Class Analysis.

Thank you very much. The response is very helpful!
Another question. What optimization method does Mplus use in the M-step for estimating the logistic function? Thanks!!
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Friday, September 20, 2013 - 12:26 pm
In a regular M-step we try first Newton-Raphson and then use Quasi-Newton as a backup in case Newton-Raphson fails.

Sugarloaf Mountain – A Monadnock
I love the word monadnock. In case you weren't enamored with geology in college like I was, here's the definition:
A monadnock or inselberg is an isolated rock hill, knob, ridge, or small mountain that rises abruptly from a gently sloping or virtually level surrounding plain. (Wikipedia)
Sugarloaf Mountain in Maryland is a monadnock covered with a multitude of technical, rocky, steep and challenging trails. Enjoy!

Ruggiano caught stealing, call stands on review
Carrie Muskat is a reporter for MLB.com. She writes a blog, Muskat Ramblings, and you can follow her on Twitter @CarrieMuskat.
CHICAGO -- Cubs manager Rick Renteria challenged whether Justin Ruggiano stole second base or not in the fifth inning.
Ruggiano was hit by a pitch with one out in the inning against the Rays, and then tried to steal second. Umpire Alan Porter called Ruggiano out, but Renteria challenged the call, and after a four-minute, 10-second review, the call stood.
Ruggiano has two stolen bases this year, and has been caught stealing four times.

US stocks drifted in light volume on Wednesday, ending little changed, as investors remained cautious after the S&P 500 index briefly hit its highest intraday level since November 2007.
The S&P 500 was buoyed by General Electric after cable company Comcast Corp said it will buy from GE the the part of NBCUniversal it didn't already own for $US16.7 billion.
Comcast's stock hit the highest since 1999 before closing up 3 per cent at $US40.13 and GE gained 3.6 per cent to $US23.39.
The S&P 500 is up 6.6 per cent so far this year, partly due to stronger-than-expected corporate earnings and a better economic outlook. The Dow industrials is about 1 per cent away from an all-time intraday high, reached in October 2007.
Volume has been weak in recent days with the S&P moving sideways around 1520. The index is about 3 per cent away from closing at a record high.
A scarcity of sellers after a consistent string of gains is a positive sign and shows the uptrend is intact, King Lip, chief investment officer at Baker Avenue Asset Management in San Francisco, said.
"Last year we had double-digit returns in the first quarter. It's fairly possible we can move higher from here," he said.

Zach Braff Adorably Photobombs Wedding Photo Shootby Cassandra Rose | PopCrush
Zach Braff was walking through New York City when he happened upon a just-married couple exchanging kisses in the middle of the street in front of a photographer. So he did what anyone else would do and photobombed the snap.
That'll be a fun story for the grand kids!
When the photographer (Sascha Reinking) was going through the photos she had taken she found the one of Braff and sent it to the actor via Twitter, writing, "Sir, I think you photobombed my newlywed couple the other day in New York. Well played…"
Braff quickly shared the photobomb himself with his followers, adding, "This is one of my best photobombs ever."
We couldn't agree more. Also, new business idea: Zach Braff will photobomb your memories. Christenings, bar mitzvahs, birthdays, the possibilities are endless!
