For a chilly autumn afternoon, Roasted Garlic Potato Soup is the tops. This is an easy recipe for soup and warms the soul. Pure comfort food.
Evidence of the existence of soup can be found as far back as about 6,000 BC. Some consider it to be as old as the history of cooking.
Until the invention of waterproof containers (which probably came in the form of clay vessels or pouches made of animal skin), boiling was not a common method of cooking. In times when food was scarce, adding various ingredients into a pot to boil was not only cheap, it was filling. It's simplicity made it accessible to rich and poor alike. The simple ingredients of soup make it easy to digest. It's comfort food for when you're "under the weather" or a pick me up on any day.
Each culture has adopted their own variation with the ingredients native to the area. The Spanish have gazpacho, Russians prepare a delicious borscht, Italian minestrone are only a few. But the basics remain the same in all soup recipes.
To start:
Preheat oven to 425° F.
Place potatoes in a shallow roasting pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil. Sprinkle with pepper. Stir to coat. Bake, uncovered, for 25 minutes. Turn potatoes and toss in garlic cloves. Bake another 20 minutes or until potatoes are browned.
In a 3-qt. saucepan heat remaining oil. Add onion and stir over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
Set aside 1 cup of the roasted potatoes. Add remaining potatoes and garlic to onion mixture in saucepan. Stir in broth and 1 cup milk. Bring to boil over low heat, reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes or until potatoes are very tender.
Spoon half of potato mixture into blender container. Blend until nearly smooth. Repeat with remaining mixture. Return all to saucepan.
Stir in remaining 1 cup milk. Season to taste with salt. Heat through. Add the butter, stir and ladle into bowls.
Top each serving of Roasted Garlic Potato Soup with some of the reserved roasted potatoes and sliced cheese.
Makes 6 serving.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of hhgregg
So what: Some might look at today's rally as nothing more than a sympathy movement higher, but it's really much bigger than that since Best Buy often sets the tone for the entire sector. Based on Best Buy's December same-store sales figure of -1.2%, it looks like an open and shut case of another rotten egg. But there's more to the story than just that. Relative to other retailers, Best Buy's results appear strong, which could signal strength across the sector -- including hhgregg. Best Buy also, despite the same-store sales shortfall, stuck to its full-year earnings guidance.
Now what: It's difficult to assume that hhgregg is going to be able to stick to its full-year forecast just because Best Buy did, but as a shareholder in this highly competitive sector that's being eaten alive by Internet retailer Amazon.com, today's news is encouraging. I, for one, haven't exactly been a fan of hhgregg in the past and still feel Best Buy represents the better buy of the two. Needless to say, it should be interesting to see what happens when hhgregg finally does report its third-quarter results in February.
Craving more input? Consider adding hhgregg to your free and personalized watchlist to keep up on the latest news with the company.

Misfortune ultimately forces him back into the ring again to face an imposing Apollo Creed.
8. Spiderman 2 – Watching the steady decline and demise of the friendship of Peter Parker and Harry Osborne was worth watching by itself.

However, Connor has a trump card. He reprograms the original version of the machine and sends it to his mother to protect both of them from the T2 machine.
1. The Godfather II – The second story of the Godfather juxtaposes the inception of the Corleone family's rise to power through Vito Corleone with the rise of Michael Corleone, his youngest son. The cunning and intellect of Michael mirrors that of his father. Jealousy broods as Michael surpasses his older brothers to head the family in place of his ailing, injured father. The artistry of Godfather II matches its great plot. The movie has all the elements of the human condition laughter, sadness, anger, and envy. It is the best sequel ever made.

N-Acetyl Cysteine Side Effects & Safety
N-acetyl cysteine is LIKELY SAFE for most adults, when used as a prescription medication. It can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea or constipation. Rarely, it can cause rashes, fever, headache, drowsiness, low blood pressure, and liver problems.
When inhaled (breathed into the lungs), it can also cause swelling in the mouth, runny nose, drowsiness, clamminess, and chest tightness.
N-acetyl cysteine has an unpleasant odor that may make it hard to take.
Special Precautions & Warnings:
Pregnancy or breast-feeding: N-acetyl cysteine is POSSIBLY SAFE when taken by mouth, delivered through a hole in the windpipe, or breathed in. N-acetyl cysteine crosses the placenta, but there is no evidence so far linking it with harm to the unborn child or mother. However, N-acetyl cysteine should only be used in pregnant women when clearly needed, such as in cases of acetaminophen toxicity.
Allergy: Don't use N-acetyl cysteine if you are allergic to acetyl cysteine.
Asthma: There is a concern that N-acetyl cysteine might cause bronchospasm in people with asthma if inhaled or taken by mouth or through a tube in the windpipe. If you take N-acetyl cysteine and have asthma, you should be monitored by your healthcare provider.
Adverse Reactions and Drug Interactions
At dosages of 1,200 mg twice daily or lower, N-acetylcysteine is well tolerated. At these dosages, side effects are unusual, but may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, transient skin rash, flushing, epigastric pain, and constipation.27 At the much larger dosages used to treat acetaminophen overdose, N-acetylcysteine is often poorly tolerated, with side effects such as headache, tinnitus, urticaria, rash, chills, fever, and anaphylactoid reactions (pseudoanaphylaxis).27 N-acetylcysteine strongly potentiates the effect of nitroglycerin and related medications, and caution should be used in patients receiving these agents in whom it may cause hypotension.4

Online hoaxes are getting more sophisticated – making it tough to know whether an email, SMS or website is real. It's important you learn how to spot the fakes so you stay safer online. If you believe you've received a phishing email, don't respond and don't click on any links or open any attachments. Simply forward the entire email to firstname.lastname@example.com and delete it.
Watch out for deceptive websites in an attempt to steal your private, sensitive data. Always log in to PayPal by opening a new browser and typing in the web address. "https" should precede any web address (or URL) where you enter personal information. The "s" stands for secure.
Phishing emails and SMSs are attempts to fish or "phish" for information so cyber criminals can steal your money or identity. They look similar to genuine emails from businesses you're already familiar with. They ask you to click on links or attachments to update your personal or financial information or confirm your password.
Never underestimate falling prey to fraudsters even with your mobile devices. Have greater security and peace of mind with these tips:

Safe Lighting
If you've read my blog over the years (that's the years I bother to write updates of course!), you'll know how much an advocate of creatively lighting images I am. But sometimes there are jobs which don't allow for this. Broadly speaking there are two types. Firstly, run and gun jobs where you have no setup, and this generally is a damage limitation routine involving on-camera flash, and any off-camera flash or reflectors you can get someone to hold for you. The second type are those where you have all the time in the world to set up, but when the flood gates open, you just have to keep your head above water till the job finishes. This is where safe lighting comes to the fore. You want a setup which is reliable, capable of keeping the pace with the job, and doesn't require you to change anything (or very much) during the shoot - in other words it's a safe setup that you could hand to your granny and she could take great shots. Well, almost!
So I thought for this post, I'd take you through a job I did recently and how I planned for it. The brief was that a makeup (fashion) show was taking place whereby student makeup artists were showing off their work. As part of the assessment, they required to have photos, and they wanted something more professional than quick digital camera snaps. The images were to clearly show hair and makeup, and have the models all wearing white in some form.
So my first questions were the timings of the show, and what time I would have available. The basis of it was the show came in two parts, and I'd have up to 55 makeup looks to photograph between the makeup being finished and the models having to go up on stage. The numbers weren't really stacking up, as even at less than a minute for each model, I'd still be most of an hour photographing that number. We managed to get it sorted out that I'd get more time by spreading out the models over more time, so that I didn't get so many all at once. As it happened, there were less than 55 looks for each of the two parts, so that made it easier.
So in planning my lighting setup, the first thought was to background. I opted for a medium grey, but used one honeycomb light to give it a nice pool of light in behind the model on longer shots, with a slight gradient showing in tight headshots. The grey meant that there was good contrast with the model, whatever hair colour they had, and also good contrast with the outfits. You don't want details being lost in a black background if the hair is being assessed!
Next off was the key light. I decided to go for a large softbox, but to give an even light, I opted to have it on-axis above the camera. I'd sometimes do this just on a normal light stand, and stand very slightly to the side of the light stand to photograph, but in this case I opted for a boom arm. The first advantage was not having to work round a light stand, but secondly that once balanced, the light can be moved up and down with just a light touch. This makes a huge difference to the speed of shooting when you're working with models ranging from 5'2-6'4 one after the other. You'd otherwise have to put the camera down, grip the strobe and undo the light stand, slide it up and then retighten it, before picking up the camera again, only to do it again when you realise you've moved it too much or too little.
On-axis lighting is generally very good for showing up detail, especially with a softbox, but in darker hair, it's important that you have some light to show up the detail, or else all you'll see is a falloff to black. I wanted a good soft even coverage, so a softbox (or octobox as it happened to be) was a reasonable choice. I aimed it across the line where the model would stand, so the model was effectively standing in the edge fall off from the softbox. However, flare was a potential issue, so I opted for the honeycomb style front mesh which prevented the light getting into the camera lens. It's great in this situation, although I'd never use it as a keylight, because the pattern of the mesh makes for some really ugly catch lights in the eyes.
Lastly, a reflector on the opposite side bounced some of the light back into the other side of the model's hair, giving an image with overall even lighting, but enough contrast to make it interesting, and certainly something nicer than just a digital camera shot.
To get the lighting right, I just did the old shoot and chimp routine. Firstly, I set the power on the background light, and fired off a test shot. A slight adjustment, and another test shot got that sorted.
I then did the old shoot the hand to get the light right routine, starting with the key light. I tend to leave my hands slightly darker, because I know you'll get models very pale with makeup sometimes who can end up overexposed. I then switched on the hair light softbox and did a quick test shot, adjusting so that you could hardly see the difference between the light on the front of my hand (key) and the light on the side of my hand (hair light). I then marked the floor with some gaffer tape as a note of the position where the light was right on any model. At the same time, I also taped down all the cabling. The last thing you want with dozens of folk wandering about is people tripping over cables!
I then felt that there was a little too much contrast across the background, so I opted for a wide beam spread honeycomb on the background light.
I can't show any of the photos from the shoot unfortunately, but hopefully it gives you an idea of the thought process behind creating safe lighting for this type of shoot.
One last thing - as much as I'm a fan of battery gear, this is definitely a job for mains powered strobes. You don't have to fear running short no matter how many images you take, you have the power to stop down well for very sharp images and you also have all the advantages of modelling lights, which let you visually see when the model has a nice catch light, and how the light is falling.
Here's a couple of setup shots which should make it easier to visualise everything mentioned above.

I'm very grateful to my publisher, Granta, for allowing readers free access to the eBook of the Wisdom of Whores for December 2010. A little disclosure: I had a bet with Granta staff about how many people would download the eBook. The bet was made in second bottle territory so the details are hazy; one of said we expected a maximum of 15 downloads, the other did not venture beyond single figures.
As far as I can tell from the file downloads for December, over 5000 people downloaded the book. Many of you were kind enough to write to thank Granta, and some of you copied me. Comments include:
"I'm a 22 year old student from India and I just wanted to thank you and your
publisher for giving the ebook for free, making it more feasible for people like
me, who don't usually have the same financial means to purchase ebooks,"
"Knowledge and awareness is the best present anyone can
receive this holidays."
"Congratulations on this wonderful move from Granta — how fabulous of them!"
"I just wanted to thank you for offering the eBook version of Wisdom of Whores online, for free, for the month of December. People WILL want paper copies after reading it in this format…"
"I think a number of students and my mother and some others will benefit highly, and it gives those of us with paper copies the warm fuzzies toward you and Granta. And I can take your book with me every time I travel – this is a huge boon for those of us who do much of our writing in hotel rooms!"
"I realize that making an ebook available for a free download is a complicated tradeoff between mindshare and revenue for the publisher and author, and I'd like you to know that in my case, at least, I think the tradeoff worked."
"Thank you so much for allowing us to download this book. I read the hardcover
version over a year ago, and the information I learned still informs my research
and discussion on HIV/AIDS today."
"Your decision to make The Wisdom of Whores available in the form of e-book is much appreciated. I write from Nepal and for us first it is a challenge to get a copy, and second the price of books printed abroad is significant."
The eBook is no longer available on this site, but you can find information about e-readers here.
In respect of the paperback cover pictured above which I whined about and now love, I would like to offer to Granta the nine words that are so hard to come by in the English language:
I was wrong. You were right. I am sorry.

ALDH1L2(Aldehyde dehydrogenase family 1 member L2) is also named as mitochondrial 10-FTHFDH, mtFDH and belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family and ALDH1L subfamily. The ALDH1L2 gene has three transcriptional variants with the molecular weight of 102 kDa, 42 kDa and 89 kDa(PMID:19823103). It is a mitochondrial enzyme, a likely source of CO2 production from 10-formyltetrahydrofolate in mitochondria and playing an essential role in the distribution of one-carbon groups between the cytosolic and mitochondrial compartments of the cell(PMID: 20498374). It also has dehydrogenase/hydrolase activities similar to cytosolic FDH (ALDH1L1). The native ALDH1L2 has been reported to exist as a dimer or tetramer(PMID:7822273).

A child's frustrating habit of hiding things (including herself) around the house is offset by the cuteness of the hider and the light, playful tone of this app.
Honey-haired Hannah, a pint-sized toddler in hairclips and a bunny T-shirt, enjoys hiding items like her mother's hairbrush. She also enjoys hiding herself, especially at nap time ("I not tired!" she chirps) or bath time ("I not dirty!"). The cozy rooms in Hannah's house are full of potential hiding places, like cabinet drawers, closets and big couch cushions. Readers can touch these items to shake out whatever's missing, from Dad's remote control to Hannah herself. At the end of the story, Hannah's parents hide, causing a moment of genuine panic for the girl, but it all ends well with a group hug and laughs. Illustrations throughout are effective, with lots of colorful, distinct objects and parents who are drawn as alternately wary, exhausted and cuddly. There are clever details, such as an easy-to-miss photo of Hannah as a wailing baby in the background and a very amusing sock puppet–themed TV show. The story is narrated by Tom Kenny, the voice of SpongeBob SquarePants, which seems like overkill for such a short, basic affair, but it speaks highly of the publisher's commitment to production values.
Though it lacks anything in the way of extras or games, Hannah's little story is one worth seeking out. She's a charmer. (iPad storybook app. 2-6)

generalized operant
Operants are purely functional units of analysis, organized by their common antecedent, consequential, and motivational sources of control. However, because topographical and functional classes of behavior-environment interactions often overlap, operants are sometimes thought of in topographical terms. The word "generalized" (or similar terms, such as "purely functional" or "overarching") is used to emphasize that this particular operant is not usefully thought of in topographical terms.

The Taipei District Prosecutors' Office yesterday said it was comparing statements made by President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) and three others who were summoned on Thursday evening over allegations that Prosecutor-General Huang Shih-ming (黃世銘) had leaked details of an investigation into a case of alleged improper lobbying by Legislative Speaker Wang Jin-pyng (王金平).
Ma, Premier Jiang Yi-huah (江宜樺) and former Presidential Office deputy secretary-general Lo Chih-chang (羅智強) were subpoenaed as witnesses, while Huang was questioned as a defendant.
The district prosecutors' office summoned the four after several lawyers and citizens filed lawsuits against Huang, accusing him of leaking secrets in the Special Investigation Division's (SID) probe when he briefed Ma on information gathered through wiretapping involving Wang and Democratic Progressive Party caucus whip Ker Chien-ming (柯建銘).
The prosecutors summoned Ma to clarify the details of meetings he had with Huang on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1, five days before Huang called a press conference to accuse Wang of misconduct.
The Taipei District Prosecutors' Office said Ma was given plenty of time to answer prosecutors' questions. After the questioning, which was conducted from 8pm to 9:30pm, Ma spent more than 10 minutes reading his testimony before signing it, the office said.
The office added that prosecutors offered the president a travel fee for coming in to present his statement, but Ma declined, saying he traveled by foot.
Taipei District Prosecutors' Office spokesman Huang Mo-hsin (黃謀信) said prosecutors were busy comparing the four statements and the office has not decided whether it should arrange a confrontation meeting for all parties.
Separately, Deputy Minister of Justice Chen Ming-tang (陳明堂) said the ministry's task force set up to investigate the wiretapping controversy has interviewed experts from Chunghwa Telecom Co (中華電信) to learn more about technologies involved in wiretapping.
Chen said their statements would be compared with those made by SID prosecutors, as well as experts from the Ministry of Justice's Investigation Bureau.
Chen added that the task force had questioned SID spokesman Yang Jung-tsung (楊榮宗) and SID prosecutor Cheng Shen-yuan (鄭深元), but it has not decided whether to question Huang.

Sample Solution
Destitution is a worldwide marvel that influences the entire world exceptionally the creating countries. Destitution has influenced a large number of individuals experiencing craving and thirst. Nourishment, clean water, sanctuary and garments are the essential requirements for a person to survive. Be that as it may, individuals under neediness line have no entrance to these essential needs perhaps because of monetary reasons or different components. As indicated by Gilbert (2004), total neediness is the state of individuals whose wages are too low to fulfill their most essential needs (p. 3). Half of the world-more than three billion individuals live on under $2.50 multi day (Global Issues, 2013). Neediness is a social issue that should be seen how certain class of individuals could adapt under certain circumstance. Human science bears the significance of helping me to comprehend destitution by applying sociological idea. Destitution has existed hundreds of years prior and up to now it is as yet obvious in late society. As a general public with interconnected parts, destitution influences a solitary individual as well as rather whatever remains of the network. It is intriguing to take in the distinctive aspects that add to neediness and how sociological viewpoint can be useful in understanding this quandary. Lack of education is one factor that adds to neediness. Without appropriate training, individuals would think that its difficult to search for an OK employment to manage its regular utilization and costs. By and large, if a man can't read and compose, employments connecting to his capability would rely upon his capacities. Destitution influences the country financially and hauls the country behind contrasted and other industrialized country. Absence of education cuts down a general public to destitution prompting across the board appetite and unhealthiness. For example, as indicated by Igboanusi (2014), there are eight West African nations recorded among the most reduced ten nations on the planet concerning education rates including Burkina Fuso, Niger, Sierra Leone, Benin, Gambia, Senegal, Guinea Bissau, and Guinea (p. 83). These are likewise the poorest nations on the planet a conspicuous sign that neediness rates and lack of education rates are firmly associated (Igboanusi, 2014, p. 83). The social-clash approach is a system for building hypothesis that considers society to be a field of disparity that creates struggle and change (Macionis, Jansson and Benoit, 2013, p. 12). Applying this sociological idea implies that there is an unequal conveyance of riches between the rich and the poor which makes strife among creating countries. The imbalance between the two measurements makes a hole which makes the poor winds up poorer and the rich ends up more extravagant. To refer to a particular case would be my nation where I originated from, the Philippines. In the Philippines, individuals who are in specialist holds the power and through their capacity they exploit poor people. Philippine chose government officials utilize their situation to profit themselves like taking the cash allocated for open improvement stores. As of late, there were three Philippine Senators who were accuse of join and loot cases for participating in consuming the need advancement help finance (Cayabyab, 2014. para. 1). Likewise charged is affirmed engineer Janet Lim Napoles, whose false non-government association were supposedly utilized as sham fronts to take billions of open supports through phantom ventures (Cayabyab, 2014, para. 6). In spite of the fact that as of late, President Aquino's organization has been battling immensely to counter debasement in the Philippines and looks for straightforwardness in all administration exercises. Thinking back to social-clash approach, the imbalance between the rich and the poor makes struggle and change similarly as it is depicted in the Philippine government. Likewise, destitution is a troublesome thing to address except if there is an adjust and equivalent open door given to all individuals. The Feminism and Gender-Conflict approach is a perspective that spotlights on disparity and strife amongst people (Macionis, Jansson and Benoit, 2013, p. 13). Women's liberation, as I would see it, tries to discover correspondence between two sexual orientations as not to put one sex in front of the other. In my understanding, sex strife approach implies that there is an inclination of one sex over the other as far as happenstance and business part. A particular illustration is the country Botswana. Destitution in Botswana is a sexual orientation based issue that lopsidedly influences people (Raditloaneng and Mulenga, 2003, p. 5). The feminization of destitution depends on measures of neediness as they identify with male and female headed families (Raditloaneng and Mulenga, 2003, p. 6). These measures incorporate pay, head tally proportions, and destitution division ways to deal with sexual orientation based neediness (Raditloaneng and Mulenga, 2003, p. 6). Ladies and female headed family units have a tendency to endure destitution and financial underestimation more intensely than male-headed families in Botswana (Raditloaneng and Mulenga, 2003, p. 6). Moreover, Gilbert (2004) states that ladies encounter a higher rate of destitution than men the world over (p. 179). When we measure neediness by the standard of "capacities," as opposed to just wage, the sexual orientation hole seems even more extensive, since females have less access to instruction, are regularly lawfully hindered contrasted with guys, and in numerous parts of the creating scene don't yet have an equivalent voice in the political procedure (Gilbert, 2004, p. 179). The race-strife approach is a perspective that spotlights on imbalance and struggle between individuals of various racial and ethnic classes (Macionis, Jansson &Benoit, 2013, p. 14). As I would like to think, race-struggle approach implies that there is a bias among chosen individuals with regards to starting point and foundation particularly to the minorities individuals. They are less respected in term of employability. This approach identifies with underprivileged dark individuals in history wherein they were denied their rights. As indicated by Baldwin and Johnson (1996), "when work supply bends are upward-inclining, wage victimization dark men decreases their relative wages as well as their relative business rates (p. 302). Intersectional investigate features how hindrances to work for low-wage Black ladies are symptomatic of their twofold danger, due to underestimated racial and sex characters (Branch and Scherer, 2013, p. 355). Work alternatives accessible to dark ladies were portrayed by insecurity, misuse, and intangibility (Branch and Scherer, 2013, p. 355). Driven by financial interests joined with presumptions molded by sexual orientation and race, people with significant influence effectively blocked dark ladies from entering better employments over and over (Duffy, 2013, p. 1130). Despite the fact that this discernment has been threw out in our cutting edge society. I have faith in correspondence to all individuals whatever their race or ethnicity. All in all, seeing a general public in a sociological point of view causes me to comprehend the relationship among people and the general public he lives in. It gives me a more extensive thought that a general public is an interconnected system of individuals and individuals live respectively and makes their own way of life, custom, and methods for living through association. Distinctive sociological hypothesis or approach ought to be broke down and comprehended to have the capacity to identify with what is going on in our present encompassing why individuals carry on in that way and even sociological occasions that occur previously. Similarly, destitution issue is a mind boggling matter that envelops a considerable measure of sociological idea. It implies that to have the capacity to see it in a sociological point of view, I ought to view utilizing different approach as ready to comprehend the way of life behind destitution and its outcomes to individuals.>

Watching the great Romanian soprano Angela Gheorghiu at the Kennedy Center on Saturday night felt a bit like spending time with a married couple who have just had a colossal argument, or a family dinner at which everyone is diligently and resentfully avoiding the elephant in the room. There was a walking-on-eggshell vibe to the whole affair, with conductor Eugene Kohn struggling to keep the Washington National Opera orchestra in synch with the temperamental but wildly talented singer. He didn't always succeed. On a program over-stuffed with orchestral bonbons, Gheorghiu's first aria was a disaster. Handel's "Ombra mai fu" simply fell apart at a couple of moments and at one point I looked up to see the conductor gripping the singer's hand, apparently giving her direct, tactile rhythmic guidance.
A Mozart aria wasn't much better, and the orchestra sounded scrappy in its overtures and light classics (Ponchielli's "Dance of the Hours" gave the soprano time to change into one of the three frocks she wore for the evening). But Dvorak's Song to the Moon from "Rusalka" was magical, and in arias by Massenet Gheorghiu seemed to lose her self-consciousness sufficiently to sing with the abandon that, when summoned and channeled, makes her the most exciting soprano today.
But a singer of her stature shouldn't be giving such a scattershot performance. Too many of the songs were rendered without much real thought or passion until the very end, at which point she turned on the smokiness in the voice and pushed the intensity, as if giving the bare minimum of the "Gheorghiu" sound necessary for the illusion of a genuine performance. I wondered, watching her, if she's struggling with some serious demons. She has always had a tendency to get a little mannered, a little over fussy in her interpretation. But Saturday, the first time I've heard her in recital as opposed to onstage in an opera, was beyond the usual level of solipsism. Is it stage fright? Some kind deep shyness for which she is overcompensating?
It's frustrating. The sense that she's in her own world, completely fused with the character she's enacting, is what makes her so exciting when she's at her best. But she often seems to disappear into a deeper, more neurotic place, with musical results that are unsatisfying. Tempos are erratic, and the simplicity and clarity of the line is lost. In any case, she didn't seem to really enjoy herself until after the official program was over. She moved one of her calling cards, Puccini's "O mio babbino caro," from the main program into the "encore" category, and it proved some of the best singing of the evening.
But we've heard her sing this before. Too many times. Gheorghiu needs someone to challenge her as an artist, to get out more, try new repertoire, learn new roles, and use her formidable skills more broadly. I would hate to see her follow the sad path of Kathleen Battle.

Grocery shopping can be confusing, especially when you're going by what the labels are trying to tell you. Knowing that most people won't pick up a box and turn to the nutritional information, food companies try to market products as as having "less fat" than others or "reduced fat" compared to their original products, and some are even "fat free". But are these products healthy?
One trick that food companies employ is to jack up the amount of sugar in an item to improve the taste in a reduced fat variety. Yogurt is a good example of this. It's not unusual to find a regular variety of yogurt that actually contains less sugar and overall calories than a reduced fat variety. But, consumers would only realize this if they actually read the nutritional information.
In some cases, the original product is so unhealthy to begin with, the reduced fat variety is still unhealthy for you.
For something to be classified as low fat, it needs to have less than 3g of fat per serving. But, for something to be reduced fat, it needs to have 25% less fat than the original. If the original item has 10g of fat per serving, a "reduced fat" variety with 7.5g of fat per serving still wouldn't qualify as low fat.
On the topic of servings, take a look at the nutritional information of products you buy the next time you're shopping. Look specifically at what the company classifies a serving as and you might be surprised. Chances are what they would consider a serving to be is a fraction of what the typical person would consume in one sitting. I find this to be especially true of snack foods like chips or crackers where you're not going to eat just 10 chips or crackers in a sitting.
So what's the lesson to be learned here? When browsing the aisles of your local supermarket, don't judge a book by its cover. In some cases, what looks healthy really isn't. The only way to be sure is to read the nutritional information and make an informed decision based on the ingredients.

Jessica Alba was recently spotted heading to lunch in LA, carrying what we'll call a Celine Buckle Bag. This bag either pre-dates Phoebe Philo's advent at the brand in 2009 (and all the handbag success that came with it) or comes from very early in her tenure. Before Philo's Luggage Tote, Celine bags didn't garner much press, so finding specific info about bags from this era can be tricky. It shares a handle structure with the Celine Boogie Bag, the most famous of the pre-Philo Celine bags. We may not be able to date this bag with total confidence, but we invite our avid Celine aficionados to weigh in.
The rest of Jessica's outfit is also appropriately old school - those gaudy prints of the late 1980s/early 1990s do pair especially well with black minis, tights and knee-high boots. (Though I can't say I'm happy that someone is trying to bring gaudy grandma prints back into fashion.) Jessica is pretty adventurous with her handbag choices - you can peep at the majority of her collection in "The Many Bags of Jessica Alba" and "The Many Bags of Jessica Alba, Part Two".

In order to regain custody of her daughter, whom she left in the care of her fortune-telling aunt, Mona must tell a social worker her story.
Wow!! this is one of most gorgeous looking films I've seen in ages. The attention given to every shot and camera move is perfect. Impeccable art direction on a story that exists in that messed-up magical, realist realm. Essentially a film about the slave trade and the power of imagination to overcome. Great work!!

Ok, folks. I was reminded of this device http://www.matiarobotics.com/ once again by a dear (able bodied) friend who posted it on a social media site. I had happily forgotten how ridiculous it is but now that it was brought to my attention I need to say a little about it. What makes it really ridiculous is the heading of this video: http://www.wimp.com/newdevice/ and especially the heading, "New device makes wheelchairs obsolete" That is probably the worst load of false advertising that I have seen for a long time, especially in the light of this quote on the main site from the user in the video: "By using this device, I can get up whenever I want. It's wonderful to stand up on my own because I spend my life sitting." (my underline) And he is right. He will spend his life sitting. Unless, of course, he lives in a world that is completely flat with no curbs, hills or floor surface obstacles.
The wheels of this device are ridiculously small and therefore it would probably work really well in an office building or a hotel or something like that – but for heaven's sake; do not bring it outside if you don't want to experience a spectacular spill! Aside from that, I wouldn't use it to race a snail. Who wants to be a few inches (or feet) taller and spend three to four times as long getting from A to B? I see no forest of hands in front of me, I'm afraid. It also seems really cumbersome to get in and out of. It has a turning radius of an old fashioned hospital style wheelchair and I wonder how much it weighs in case somebody needs to pick it up over a 3 inch curb or push it up an incline.
But it is not so much the completely impractical nature of the contraption that makes me squirm when I see it. It is the overt ableism that it represents – by itself and especially by the video on the website. It is a symbol of the bipedal hegemony that unfortunately seems to be the frame of mind with people in the disability aid industry. To paraphrase George Orwell, the thinking goes something like this: "Four wheels good, two legs better." It is not good enough to have found what up until now has been the ultimate aid for us with a walking impairment, the good old wheelchair. No, there must be some kind of device that can make it look like we are able to stand up and – hopefully – make the impression that we're walking.
Why, I ask in all modesty? Why does it have to be so?
I don't know who you would trick into thinking that I am walking with that thing, even if they can only see my upper body and not the actual contraption. I would still be moving like a slow and cumbersome version of R2D2, and most likely also sound like one – something that might be the only allure to a sci-fi freak. Then again, nah…
The video is worth a closer look. I assume it is made to sell the device by mentioning some of the problems that people with walking impairments have, but it utterly fails to show how their device will alleviate these problems – mainly because it never could. It also fails to address one of the most prevalent problems that many wheelchair users have, namely muscle contractions caused by extended time spent in a sitting position rendering the device utterly useless.
Let me quote what seems to be a dubbed version of what associate professor, Hurriyet Yilmass (no further credentials) says in the video and then make a few comments about the nonsense the company has chosen as its selling points. "People facing spinal cord injuries typically are forced to spend their lives in a wheelchair" Nice ableist start from the supposed professor. It amounts to me saying something like "People who have never learned to swim typically are forced to spend their life on land," or the even more ludicrously fitting: "People who do not have the ability to fly typically are forced to spend their lives on the surface of the Earth." Yes, we use a wheelchair. And like everybody else on this planet our circumstances 'forces' us live our life in the best possible way we can, for us it is using a wheelchair for others it is staying close to the surface of the earth and for some it is not getting too far out into the water.
"In addition to losing their ability to walk, they also lose the ability to stand up," Yeah, the ability to stand up is a prerequisite for walking so what are you saying exactly? "This causes a variety of unwanted health issues, especially problems such as cardiovascular disease, blood pressure irregularities, pressure sores and problems of bowel and/or bladder functions which also directly lead to additional medical costs." Ok. Let's pause here for a second. Yes, she is (more or less) spot on with what she says here. But there is not ONE THING on her list that is alleviated by the stand-up-device. She is stating something blatantly obvious that has no bearing on what she is trying to push. To add insult to injury, she talks about additional medical costs, forgetting that what she is trying to sell is probably going to double or triple the medical costs of the suckers who consider buying it.
She continues her inane chatter in this way: "Other devices that help patients to stand up are usually structurally bulky, require outside assistance and cause the user to spend extended amounts of energy." Excuse me, have you looked at this contraption? I have seen ones like it that are just about the same size – in the 1980's, mind you. And to my limited knowledge, they were equally useless, if that is any consolation.
"The main advantages of Tec are that users can do almost everything that non-paraplegic people can do indoors without any assistance and without the need for special modifications" So, I ask, what activities can be done with this that could not be done in a wheelchair aside from reaching the high shelves and the top cupboards? I fail to see it being an advantage that it moves at a considerably slower rate of movement and a more cumbersome and unnatural body posture due to sitting up in a sling in an upright position.
"It facilitates active and comfortable participation in social life. And users can bend down and alternate between standing and sitting positions. In fact, the user is able to do so while maintaining safety and balance" This is where the misinformation virtually turns into lies. Compared to sitting down 'active and comfortable participation in social life' is certainly as close to untrue as it gets. Hanging in a sling will never be better than sitting on a decently fitted seat with good back support. And when you have no use of your legs, a standing position will always be sketchy at best due to the lack of a natural sense of balance. I wonder how the user can bend down, but I will leave that alone. When it comes to 'safety and balance' I am certain it is made so one doesn't fall, but that still does not compare to the inherent safety and balance that comes with sitting down in a chair. That leaves us with one true statement wrapped in a load of BS, 'one can alternate between standing and sitting' and hooray for that! It seems like the wheelchair is superior to this ridiculous device in all areas except for reaching up high.
And that brings us right back to my statement that it is created from an ableist, bipedal mindset – and nothing else. It is not intended for making life easier for cripples, it is made for some to feel more normal while for all intents and purposes making them more impaired in their daily lives.

An antidote to Field Guides
published by Langford Press 2013
"The aim of the book is to encourage people to see more when they watch birds: to discover new things in the bird's life and exchange the images we pick up from books, for those we discover for ourselves."
"…The trouble is that an individual bird in the field rarely conforms to its identikit image in a book. It has little chance of being seen in exactly side view on the same level as the observer, and the odds are even greater against a flying bird presenting us with a perfect plan-view… Living birds present a far more fascinating range of shape and posture, colour and shading. More often than not parts of their anatomy are hidden by leaves, their plumage colours are changed by light, or their feet are out of sight under water. They would far rather hide from human eyes than be watched, and their plumage is mostly designed to blend with their surroundings. While this adds to the problems of identification, it can also be a great source of delight. It all depends on how you see."

I had a profound sense of deja vu as I watched President Obama's fifth State Of The Union address. I've heard it all before. His speech was so worn and devoid of new ideas that MSNBC's Chris Matthews deemed it "a masterful address". It doesn't take much for a liberal Democrat to impress the Tingler. Obama probably had Matthews at hello, and by the time our President finished casting everybody in the country except white males in the role of the aggrieved (liberal political tactic #1), I'm sure Matthews was swooning.
My impression of the SOTU was somewhat different. I note two important developments. Foremost, the First Lady looked lovely, sporting her new hairdo and a forest green designer Alaia dress. Very nice. Mrs. Obama didn't quite reach Jackie O standards, but she ranks pretty high on the First Lady fashion-o-meter. Secondly, I'm pretty sure Vice President Biden was blinking some kind of secret morse code message to the Iranians. Rep. Issa should demand a special prosecutor to find out what that was all about.
For those of you who didn't watch the speech, I present the following zombie rhetoric-to-English translation of Obama's beliefs:
1. People who break the law and enter this country illegally deserve to be American citizens, because rewarding lawbreakers is apparently who we are as a people, according to Obama. By the same standard, I guess we should empty our prisons and give all felons shiny new Escalades.
2. Obama says the Republicans should stop trying to repeal Obamacare. Sure it was sold to the country under false pretenses strictly along a party line vote, the American people don't like it, and it's been a complete clusterfark, but Obama will get his legislative mess fixed eventually...UNLESS THE REPUBLICANS KEEP INTERFERING. This is circular logic and rhetorical blame-shifting of the first order, an Obama specialty.
3. Women only earn 77% of what a man earns, according to Obama, and he says that's just WRONG. Even though Obama's contention is not true, as even the liberals at Slate admit, the Democrats gave Obama's false statement a standing ovation, because they love their 'war on women' meme (see: liberal political tactic #1). Obama believes we should do something about female income inequality, even though we already did do something about it 50 years ago, when Obama was still in diapers. It was called the Equal Pay Act of 1963.
4. Obama will end the Afghanistan War this year !!!...but we will still have troops in Afghanistan fighting the non-war for the foreseeable future. If this seems confusing and contradictory to you, that's only because you are a bitter clinger who doesn't understand the power of Obama's rhetoric. If Big Brother says the war is over, the war is over...even if we are still fighting it.
5. Obama said the unemployment rate is the lowest it's been in five years. I addressed this smoke-and-mirrors routine in my previous post, but if Obama wants to laud job creation, he should laud conservative Texas, which led the nation in job creation. Somehow, our President forgot to mention that.
I could go on and on, but you can read it for yourself at the SOTU link provided. I've grown tired of Obama's rhetoric. He invariably adopts the pose that he is outside looking in at America, as if his own policies have nothing whatsoever to do with the state of the union (unless something good happens. Then it's all him). He invariably says things would be so much better if only Congress (read: Republicans) would stop blocking his initiatives, even though President Obama has gotten more economic leeway than any President in American history. He got to spend the second half of the TARP funds ($350 billion). He got an $800 billion stimulus package. He has been allowed to run up record deficits and record debt. The Federal Reserve has propped up the economy to the tune of a trillion dollars per year in quantitative easing on Obama's watch. He got a health care package passed that America was against. He got a major open-ended restructuring of financial regulations with Dodd-Frank. He got tax increases on the wealthy. He got his wars and spying. Obama has gotten a ton, but his acolytes pretend that salvation is just around the corner, with the only roadblock being GOP obstruction. That is nothing but transparent political gamesmanship. Also, if we want to talk about blocking initiatives, maybe the President could have mentioned the 40 or so jobs-related initiatives the GOP has passed in the House that have gone into Nowhere Land on Harry Reid's Senate desk. Why does no one speak of THAT obstruction ? In a divided government, I can barely imagine a President getting more of what he wanted, while giving up next to nothing. If you disagree with me, answer this question. What victories have the Republicans gained in the last five years ? Very few, and now President Obama is making more noises about end-running the legislative process, end-running the Constitution, end-running separation of powers and checks and balances, and implementing his policies by executive fiat. That's not how this country is supposed to work, but when he spoke of ruling by decree at the State Of The Union, the Democrats in attendance stood and CHEERED. That should frighten all of us.
As usual, Obama didn't really give a State Of The Union speech. He gave a political campaign speech. Even after five years as President, that seems to be all he knows how to do.

DuPage County Divorce and Division of Property Lawyers
Experienced Asset Division Attorneys in Lisle, Downers Grove and Naperville
Division of property is one of the primary issues to be settled in any divorce. This is particularly true in complex divorces involving couples with a high net worth, multiple residences, family owned businesses, rental property, and many others. The law calls for a fair and equitable settlement of all marital property. However, divorcing spouses are often very far apart on what they believe to be "fair and equitable," and the outcome of the final settlement is largely determined by the negotiating skills of their legal counsel.
At Momkus LLC, our experienced divorce and family law attorneys have in-depth knowledge of the asset valuation process, divorce tax consequences and other property division issues. Our attorneys work in a wide range of related practice areas such as business law; commercial and civil litigation; estates, trusts and asset protection planning; and appellate practice. We work closely with our clients to analyze their specific financial situations and family dynamics so we can develop a strategy to secure a property settlement that protects your interests without straining your relationships.
Marital vs. Non-Marital Property
During a divorce, there are numerous potential assets at stake, including:
- Primary and Secondary Residences;
- Vehicles;
- Bank Accounts;
- Stocks, Stock Options and other Investment Accounts;
- Retirement Accounts;
- Business and Partnership Holdings; and
- Art and Home Furnishings.
Before beginning to divide the assets, it must first be determined which property is to be included in this division (marital property) and what should be excluded (non-marital property). In general, all property acquired during the marriage (by either spouse) is considered marital property. It is important to note that even separately held financial instruments (such as IRAs or 401Ks) are still considered marital property if the account was initiated during the marriage.
Property acquired before the marriage is usually considered non-marital property. However, some property acquired after the marriage can also be considered non-marital, such as sole inheritances and some forms of income and capital gains on property acquired before the marriage. This can become quite complicated, however, when money derived from non-marital property is used to acquire new property during the marriage.
Division of Property in Illinois
After determining which property is considered marital, the court will take several factors into account to ensure a fair and equitable distribution. These include:
- Duration of the Marriage;
- Age and Health of each Spouse;
- Standard of Living Established during the Marriage;
- The Earning Capacity of Each Spouse;
- Intangible Sacrifices (e.g. homemaking and child care while the other spouse built his/her career);
- Alimony/Maintenance Support Agreements;
- The Best Interests of the Children;
- Prenuptial Agreements;
- The Tax Implications of the Divorce;
- Debts; and
- Other Relevant Economic Circumstances.
There is no set formula for how the property in a divorce is fairly and equitably divided. The family court has a certain amount of discretion in deciding the final terms and conditions of the division. For this reason, it is essential to have skilled counsel in your corner aggressively advocating for your interests to ensure that you receive a settlement you will be happy with.

We provide advice and counsel from our team of knowledgeable and compassionate family law attorneys in DuPage County, including Lisle, Naperville, Downers Grove, Wheaton and surrounding communities.

Pssst The Speaker Company – voice out your social concerns anonymously!
PSSST is a platform and tool for sublte activism, designed to drive change in the context of social issues. It's goal is to give a voice (quite literally!) to the unheard citizen, encouraging the user to take action and involve masses to support their cause, yet relying on indirect messaging, allowing the user to stay anonymous.
The PSSST speaker is a device that broadcasts your message as an audio recording to passers-by. In such a visually saturated environment as a city, we chose audio as the most potential broadcasting method. The speakers are embedded in rolls of tape, allowing the user to deploy it in any environment. It differs from conventional methods of activism because it targets peers rather than authorities. It seeks the attention and action of people in proximity of the broadcasted message, gaining awareness and support for your cause. You can see the accumulating effect of your message in both the physical and digital world, with the web platform keeping track of how many people have taken note of your broadcast.
The website hosts a digital platform for the PSSST community, where you can choose or create a cause and message regarding a social issue you support. You then lease a speaker and keep track of it using the unique speaker ID.
Inspired by Ants
PSSST The Speaker Company was developed to enable subtle and meaningful activism based on the principles of ant pheromone communication. Like ant pheromones, PSSST communication relies on indirect messaging that is anonymous. Ants leave pheromone messages in the environment that imply reaction from the next ant who finds it. Like ants, PSSST aims to leave messages in a context, in an evironment most suitable for the broadcast. Both systems strive to involve masses and build great things, and gains it's validation from iterative actions of the individuals.
The System
The PSSST system creates a circular engagement model for subtle activism. It attemps to engage people who hear the broadcasted messages and grab the attention of masses. Feedback and information flows to and from the website. The speaker leaser can give feedback to the website of the speakers location, to inform others where which message is already being broadcasted. People who hear the message are directed to the website, where they will gain more information about the cause.
The website will also keep track of how many followers and how much traction each cause and message has gained.
All speakers are leased, not bought. PSSST The Speaker Company wants to encourage the users to take good care of the speakers, but want to take final responsibility, so when the leasing period is over or a speaker is damaged, it can be sent back to the company with paid for shipping.
Pssst The Speaker Company was created together with Judith Beger, Iddo Wald and Katarzyna Zmyslona.

The Mature qPCR and Emerging dPCR Instrumentation Markets Offer Increasing Growth Opportunities, Finds Frost & Sullivan
07 Mar, 2013, 13:05 GMT
-- Wider application development for qPCR and dPCR drive instrument sales in the United States
MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, March 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The United States quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and digital PCR (dPCR) instrumentation markets are at different growth stages, yet both remain competitively dynamic. Despite its maturity, the low-growth qPCR market is witnessing a period of competitive expansion, as several big name life science tool companies entered the market looking to expand their genomics workflow solutions. Meanwhile, the emerging dPCR market is growing rapidly as implementation by early-adopters ramps up and suppliers expand the technology's applications to increase the scope for adoption.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan's (http://lifesciences.frost.com ) U.S. qPCR and dPCR Instrumentation Markets research finds the market earned revenue of more than $220.0 million in 2011 and estimates this to reach $310.0 million in 2016.
If you are interested in more information on this research, please email Britni Myers, Corporate Communications, at firstname.lastname@example.com, with your full name, company name, job title, telephone number, company email address, company website, city, state and country.
The broad and growing range of applications enabled by or requiring qPCR makes the technology highly valuable and essential in many research laboratories.
"qPCR maintains an entrenched role in research due to its performance, sensitivity, and reproducibility, and, therefore, the market remains stable despite economic uncertainties," said Frost & Sullivan Life Sciences Senior Industry Analyst Christi Bird. "To expand the installed base in this nearly saturated market, several suppliers launched affordable, low-throughput qPCR benchtop platforms to encourage installation in individual laboratories."
Meanwhile, competitors in the budding dPCR market are working on new clinical uses to expand the value of the technology. As the number of dPCR applications grows beyond copy number variation, rare mutation detection, and absolute quantification of nucleic acid sequences, researchers are more likely to acknowledge the capabilities and advantages of dPCR surpass those of qPCR technology.
Due to the maturity of the qPCR market, the gap in terms of technology, instrument performance, and quality has narrowed among competitors. Manufacturers lowered prices to stay competitive, reducing the potential value of the market. Additionally, budget constraints in the United States academic sector continue to alter the purchasing cycle of new instruments, despite lowered qPCR pricing.
Meanwhile, pricing of dPCR instruments remains expensive as a new technology, as many laboratories find adoption cost-prohibitive. dPCR currently serves a limited customer segment including pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, as well as large academic laboratories or core facilities with substantial capital equipment budgets.
"dPCR manufacturers must enhance instrument value well beyond qPCR capabilities for researchers to justify the hefty price tag," concluded Bird. "Several suppliers launched integrated dPCR and qPCR instruments to expand the applications that can be conducted on a single platform, hoping to drive greater product value."
U.S. qPCR and dPCR Instrumentation Markets is part of the Life Sciences Growth Partnership Service program. Frost & Sullivan's related research services include: Global Quantitative and dPCR Instrumentation and Consumables Purchasing Trends, Survey of Sequencing Technologies: Instrument Adoption on the Rise as Affordable Systems Enter the Market, and Purchasing Trends in the Research Antibodies Market. All research services included in subscriptions provide detailed market opportunities and industry trends evaluated following extensive interviews with market participants.

The English used in this article may not be easy for everybody to understand. (June 2012)
A triode is a type of vacuum tube. It differs from a vacuum tube diode, which has only two electrodes, by having a third electrode, called the grid between the cathode and anode.
When the cathode is heated, it gives out electrons. These electrons are then absorbed by the anode. This process makes an electric current, which is controlled by the grid. The addition of the grid allows the triode to be used as an amplifier.
Lee De Forest invented this device in 1908 from his original two-electrode Audion of 1906. The triode incorporates the key principle of amplification. The name triode emerged because people needed to distinguish it from other similar vacuum tubes (for example, diodes, tetrodes, pentodes, etc.)
Not only can the triode perform amplification, it can also work as part of an oscillator (making waves) and detecting waves. It is used in radios, however, since the 1960s, the transistor has mostly replaced it. It is an ancestor of the transistor. It is still used in vacuum tube amplifiers.

Background: Plasma cell neoplasms represent autonomous proliferations of plasma cells and can manifest as diffuse myeloma with systemic involvement (plasma cell myeloma or multiple myeloma), monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), or as variants of plasma cell myeloma such as indolent myeloma, smoldering myeloma, osteosclerotic myeloma, plasma cell leukaemia and non-secretory myeloma. Localized neoplastic proliferation of plasma cells presents as solitary plasmacytoma of bone or extramedullary plasmacytoma. Involvement of orbit can occur as a solitary plasmacytoma, or as part of systemic involvement in multiple myeloma, the clinical outcome being significantly worse in the latter setting.Orbital involvement in multiple myeloma is very rare with less than 50 cases reported in the literature. Early cytological diagnosis of such lesions is vital for timely institution of appropriate therapy. As far as we are aware only six previous cases of cytological diagnosis of multiple myeloma involving the orbit are on record.Case presentation: A 37 year old male presented with low grade fever showing evening rise, headache, diplopia and swelling in the right periorbital and temporal region. Imaging studies revealed destructive lesion of sphenoid, frontal bone and zygomatic arch with soft tissue component extending to infratemporal fossa and orbit. A fine needle aspirate from the temporal region swelling showed features of a plasmacytoma, and subsequent workup confirmed the presence of systemic disease. A final diagnosis of multiple myeloma with orbital involvement at presentation was made.Conclusion: Present case describes the extremely rare presentation of multiple myeloma with orbital involvement and highlights the utility of cytology in such lesions. Fine needle aspiration diagnosis of plasmacytoma at extramedullary sites offers an opportunity for non-invasive verification of systemic involvement, and thus plays a major role in early diagnosis and management of these patients.
