But now the set from that movie is the office of Tustin architect Gary Bastien and, according to Bastien, it's a hit.
The Bastien and Associates, Inc. office has the feel of a 500-year-old European castle, complete with high gothic ceilings, huge columns, large wooden doors and mood lighting. Only by touching can you tell that the walls are not stone, but rather plastic and fiberglass.
Sometimes, Bastien admitted, his own office gives him the creeps.
"If you're there late at night, it is a little scary," he said.
Bastien first saw the set while walking around the Manhattan Beach Studio, which his architectural firm, Bastien and Associates, Inc., had designed.
"We thought that would make an outstanding work environment. I'm attracted to high ceilings. Gothic detail is timeless. Rather than your same humdrum cubicle office, this gives our office a special sense," he said.
Bastien transported the set to his Tustin building, which he had recently bought. Whittier-based Oltmans Construction Co. installed the set. Bastien estimated the final cost to renovate the 4,000 square foot office at $120,000. Bastien didn't want the office to be too scary, so he put in twice as much lighting as the film had. A couple of windows in the back offices let in more light. He installed a mirror at the end of the hall, which gives it a feeling that it's much bigger than it actually is.
Bastien, who easily talks in the jargon of Hollywood, said he doesn't want to get typecast, but that the set has been good for business.
He said some clients now want their own movie sets in their offices and DreamWorks, the film studio which sold Bastien the "Haunting" set, is considering selling used film sets as a possible income stream.
And it's been a useful recruiting tool for employees.
"The set has been like a magnet. People walk in here and don't want to leave," he said.
Bastien may have an inauguration party for the office. He is thinking about having it on Halloween.

Another huge aircraft was seen flying over Lincoln just a day after plane spotters were treated to an appearance from the USAF C5 Galaxy.
A plane understood to be a C-17 Globemaster was spotted in the sky over uphill Lincoln by local Hazel Redmile.
Hazel told The Lincolnite that she saw the plane as it was coming over to land at RAF Waddington just before 11.30am on Thursday, March 7.
In a post in 'You're probably from Lincoln if…' Hazel said "it seemed to be wobbling a bit as its wheels came down".
It is believed it took a while to land which may have been down to the windy conditions.
Another person commented that the plane had flown from RAF Brize Norton in circuit of RAF Waddington.
According to the Royal Air Force the C-17 Globemaster III is a long-range, heavy-lift strategic transport aircraft.
The aircraft can operate close to a potential area of operations for combat, peacekeeping or humanitarian missions worldwide.
As previously reported, another large aircraft – the American USAF C5 Galaxy – arrived at RAF Waddington on Wednesday.
It is understood that it was transporting a flight simulator although this was not confirmed. When The Lincolnite approached RAF Waddington for further information, it declined to comment.


i searched around and i cant find the thread on this.
i have tried multiple USB ports, cables and different PC's and they all do the same thing now.
i installed HTC sync and rebooted the machine. i changed the power settings on the machine and made sure that the USB power management is disabled.
does any one have3 any idea whats going on?
Will the EVO continue to charge through the port? If not, it is likely a bad USB port on the EVO. If so, are you running a custom ROM, are you rooted, what do you have installed on the EVO, have you restarted the EVO?
"I remember, way back in the day, this site was hoppin' with members, posts, and some great development."
i have this issue tho I admit it was after flashing Damage Control 3.2.1 but I think it a bad usb port, i have to keep it in a certain position to work, but htc is known for having bad usb ports on a fone, so if it gets really bad, I'm just gonna take it back...but out of curiosity are you on DC rom too???
I have the stock ROM. not rooted. with only basic apps installed. handcent, dolphin, and a few games but those all have been there longer than the issue.
plugged directly in to a wall the phone charges fine.
plugged in to ANY usb port it connects for about 2 seconds then disconnects. there is just enough time for the connect to PC screen to come up but that doesnt even stay there long enough to make a selection.
so something else thats weird. with the phone completely powered off, connected to USB port on my PC, the orange charge led is on... as soon as i power the phone on it disconnects.
I agree, I would suspect a driver issue. Ironically HTC put HTC Sync on the SD card, so you will need a reader to get it off, if you haven't already copied it to your PC.
i have hard reset the phone to try and see if that would do anything, but it was not help.
You sure the device hasn't just simply stopped charging because it's full?


Regardless of what industry you are in, growing your business to new heights can really be a challenging up-hill job.
In any business, its sales teams achieve success for a number of reasons, and so it is often tough to exactly pinpoint why one business or a sales team is more successful than another.
Nevertheless, there are in general two important factors that most thriving sales teams employ for success and growth of their businesses- the right easy to use CRM software and proper data management of their CRM database.
This is because to move ahead in this modern competitive marketplace, businesses need to have the right people and essentially the right tools to work hand in hand.
Therefore, when businesses use the data utilized by their sales teams on a day-to-day basis (which includes actions taken by the sales teams to turn prospective leads into customers) and input that data into the CRM database, it creates a potent business model that provides any business an edge over its competitions.
After all, there is simply no point in adopting a robust and easy to use CRM software , if you cannot use it to its full advantage- manage all your businesses' data, and streamline the sales process for your marketing and sales teams.
Since, proper and effective CRM data management in combination with an intelligent and intuitive CRM software not only escalates your businesses' marketing, sales, and customer relationships, but it also keep your sales teams working efficiently, which in turn boosts revenue growth inevitably.
Are you still using pen and paper or a spreadsheet to track your customer's sales history and not using an easy to use CRM software to manage your customers or track your sales data and business processes?
Do not worry! If your customer data management is still stuck in the Paleolithic or Old Stone Age, there is no better time than now for an upgrade.
With incredible CRM software platforms now available like ConvergeHub CRM for small business and others, your business can easily organize and integrate not only all your lead and customer data, but even your entire sales process (from managing leads and prospects to closing deals). In addition, CRM also provide comprehensive data analytics, and customer relationship management that are acceptable to your entire sales, marketing, and support teams.
This means, even if one sales rep in your company picks up where another sales person left off, they can find complete customer communication and interaction history, which in turn makes the customer feel important and valued.
With a small business CRM software platform like ConvergeHub, important information, and data is seamlessly updated across all networks, which allows every person in your organization to stay focused and up-to-date on what that matters the most- THE CUSTOMER.
Inputting your business data in the CRM database in an easy to use CRM software can even free up time spent on analyzing customer data for generating leads, sending follow-up emails, or setting up appointments for your sales teams. Since, these tedious tasks can kill time that takes away critical opportunities for harvesting revenue, away from your sales teams.
Easy to use CRM software when used efficiently acts as the heart of your organization and helps your sales teams to streamline data and sales processes. By managing and tracking all sales and customer-facing interactions, easy to use CRM software like ConvergeHub, provides everything that you need to close deals and keep your customers happy at your fingertips, which is the true driving force behind any successful business.
By organizing your customer data in the CRM database into helpful categories like Customers, Lost deals, Influencers, Potential partners, and many more, an easy to use CRM platform ensures that your sales reps never fail to meet the requirements of every person that contributes to the growth of your business.
Beyond this, CRM software also offers robust analytical tools that can help your organization to make strategic sales, and budget decisions, by viewing wins-losses, rep performances, and analyzing gaps in your sales processes.
Therefore, what does all this ultimately means?
The answer is- Happier customers, happy sales teams, and therefore, more sales and revenue.
THE TIME TO GET ORGANIZED- IS NOW!
According to a research conducted by a reputed global agency in 2017, it was shocking to find that an astounding 40% of businesses nationwide do not use any data management software and still rely on spreadsheets to mange leads and opportunities, before turning to more often than not cloud based CRM software platforms.
Well, actually it is all very simple.. So here we go!
If your small and medium-sized business does not already have an easy to use small business CRM software, it is time to sign up now.
With all the options, that are on-hand these days, you might feel a bit inundated and overwhelmed, but with a little research, you can quickly find which robust small business CRM software, might work best for your business and your sales teams.
Primarily, once you begin, you need to be really careful about how you input your data in the CRM database, so that it matches your sales processes and help you to track your customers exactly as you would like it to do.
Luckily, most easy to use cloud based CRM software like ConvergeHub, comes with systematic, and explicit tutorials that will ensure that all your data is entered in the most appropriate ways, which can efficiently help you to drive your sales teams, and keep them organized.
In all fairness, while even an easy to use CRM software is incredibly useful for businesses, nevertheless, it is not a perfect system.
Hence, inputting data in the CRM database, may initially have some pushback from your sales reps and make them feel that their time could have been more profitably spent making sales (and not inputting data), but in this case, remind your team that ensuring input of quality data in the software is vital for long-term success of any sales team.
Once your sales and customer data in the CRM database is organized and is used efficiently, you can expect to see a flourish in the growth of your sales revenue and hence your sales teams will finally find time to focus on their customers- which is the "numero uno" method for improving sales and profitability.
Remember, in today's competitive marketplace, adopting an easy to use CRM software like ConvergeHub for growing sales and getting your customer data organized is no longer an option, but an absolute necessity for taking your business to the next level of success.

Good morning quilters! Hope your weather is sunny and warm…In Minnesota, we were plowing snow last week, had several days of sunshine, and now it is raining cats and dogs. It is definitely time to Open our Umbrellas!
Next stitch three scallops and stop. After completing the third scallop, back track to the center of that scallop and the stop again.
From that point, at the middle of the third scallop, drop down and stitch the handle, stitch back up, and complete the scallops–you will stitch a half scallop first and then two complete scallops: Do not close the umbrella. In other words, leave a small open space between the last scallop and the top of the umbrella.
Finish the umbrella by echo quilting the scallops and closing the motif by stitching right up to the first stitches you made in the motif.
All photos and tutorials are copyrighted and commercial use is prohibited.
Far out, your work is amazing!! Sox inspirational. Thank you for sharing.
So cute! I look forward to seeing your 'wind' quilting–mine is usually echoing waves and random swirls.
Your umbrella is wonderful. I'm wondering how you continue on to the next umbrella. I think it would be helpful to see how we connect them. Thanks for your creativity!
I really didn't have a great way to connect this motif. I just knotted off and later filled in with the "wind".
I've spent 3 days going through your blog. First from your most recent to your oldest, now from your oldest to your newest, making doodles along the way. Great quilting, I love the look of your doodle quilts.

This is an old fashioned recipe that needs to be made more often!
In a large pot boil water and put the whole head of cabbage in the water and cover. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the leaves become tender. Remove the cabbage from the water and let the cabbage cool.
In a large frying pan place the ground and cook the chop meat separating it. When the meat is cooked remove the meat from the pan and place in a large bowl.
In the same pan, drizzle a little olive oil and place the parsley, garlic, onions, carrots and mushrooms and sauté until the onions become slightly golden. Place these veggies in the bowl with the ground beef and toss. Add the tomatoes that were chopped in the food processor and the bread crumbs and toss. Wait a few minutes to let everything cool down and then add the beaten eggs and toss.
In the same frying pan drizzle a little olive oil and add all of the ingredients for the bell pepper topping EXCEPT the cheeses. Let this sauté while you begin stuffing the cabbage.
To stuff the cabbage gently peel back the leaves one at a time. Peel as many leaves as you want to stuff. Place the leaf on a flat surface and using a large spoon place the stuffing in the middle of the leaf. Close with a tooth pick.
Drizzle a little olive oil in a backing dish and place the cabbage in the pan.
Top with the peppers and top the peppers the mozzarella and grating cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.
Can't wait to try this out on the eaters!

«Лас-Па́льмас» () — профессиональный футбольный клуб из города Лас-Пальмас-де-Гран-Канария, Испания.

История
Основан 22 августа 1949 года путём объединения пяти местных команд (эмблемы которых изображены на нынешней эмблеме «Лас-Пальмаса»). В 1951 году впервые пробился в лигу Примера, но уже через год выбыл обратно в Сегунду. В 1954 вернулся в высшую лигу, но уже через шесть лет снова выбыл в Сегунду, заняв последнее место в Ла Лиге и дважды разгромно проиграв лидеру чемпионата, «Барселоне», по 0:8. В сезоне 1968/69 клуб стал серебряным призёром чемпионата страны, в сезоне 1967/68 — бронзовым призёром испанского чемпионата. Также 4 раза «Лас-Пальмас» становился чемпионом Сегунды: в 1953/54, 1963/64, 1984/85 и 1999/00. В сезоне 1977/78 клуб вышел в финал Кубка Испании. В Кубке Ярмарок 1969/70 проиграл в первом раунде. Дошёл до третьего раунда Кубка УЕФА 1972/73 и до второго раунда Кубка УЕФА 1977/78. В 2004—2006 годах выступал в Сегунде Б. По итогам сезона 2014/2015 вернулся в Примеру. В общей сложности провёл 31 сезон в Примере. В сезоне 2017/2018 занял 19 место и вновь вернулся в Сегунду.

County officials are expecting a good turnout in Tuesday's election, based on what they said is a record number of registered voters.
Ventura County elections officials are expecting a good turnout in Tuesday's election, based on what they said is a record number of Ventura County residents who have registered to vote.
Assistant Registrar of Voters Tracy Saucedo said much of the increase is probably tied to the ease of registration. People can now register online or at the state Department of Motor Vehicles, she said.
"You don't have to fill out a paper application anymore," Saucedo said Friday.
Polls will open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. in Ventura County and around the state. The first results are expected to be posted shortly after 8 p.m. based on the vote-by-mail ballots counted up until about noon Election Day, Registrar of Voters Mark Lunn said.
Officials did not have data on hand to show how the registration totals are higher than any ever recorded in the county. But a report of registration figures collected since 1996 show they are the highest over that time period.
A total of 448,174 people had registered to vote by the registration deadline 15 days before the election, which came Oct. 22. That was up about 15,000 from the number registered before the last gubernatorial election in 2014.
Almost 81.4 percent of 550,773 eligible county residents were registered, up from 79.9 percent of 542,109 eligible residents in 2014.
California showed an all-time record with 19.7 million people registered at the 15-day deadline, Secretary of State Alex Padilla said. That was an increase of 1.9 million registered voters since the last gubernatorial election in 2014, Padilla said.
Padilla said 78 percent of eligible Californians were registered, the highest percentage heading into a gubernatorial election since 1950.
In Ventura County, elections officials encouraged poll voters to cast their ballots during the non-peak hours of noon to 4 p.m. to avoid potentially long lines.
Voters may confirm their assigned polling places prior to Tuesday's election by checking their sample ballots, visiting http://venturavote.org and selecting "Where Is My Polling Place?" or calling 805-654-2664.
Voters can also vote prior to Election Day at the Elections Division's office on the bottom floor of the Hall of Administration at the Ventura County Government Center, 800 S. Victoria Ave., Ventura. Office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.
Officials said vote-by-mail ballots must be returned or postmarked by Tuesday. A 24-hour drive-up ballot drop-off box is located in front of the Hall of Administration at the Government Center in Ventura. Ballots may also be dropped off at any polling place and at offices of city clerks during business hours.
For more information, visit http://venturavote.org or call 805-654-2664.

Q: Index view of Rails model printing string with all model data I just finished Rails' Getting Started guide and everything works perfectly except for this mysterious entry that's being printed in the Index view as shown below. I've been trying to find the cause to no avail, neither have I found no suitable terms to Google this issue.

Index.html.erb

Index

<%= link_to 'New Client', new_client_path %>

        Name
        Issued On
        Notes
        Finished?
        Payments

    <%= @clients.each do |client| %>

            <%= client.name %>
            <%= client.date %>
            <%= client.note %>
            <%= client.finished %>
            <%= client.payment %>
            <%= link_to 'Show', client_path(client) %>
            <%= link_to 'Edit', edit_client_path(client) %>
            <%= link_to 'Destroy', client_path(client),
                method: :delete,
                data: { confirm: 'This client will be permanentally deleted, do you want to continue?' } %>

    <% end %>

Clients Controller
class ClientsController < ApplicationController

    def index
        @clients = Client.all
    end

    def show
        @client = Client.find(params[:id])
    end

    def new
        @client = Client.new
    end

    def edit
        @client = Client.find(params[:id])
    end

    def create
        @client = Client.new(client_params)

        if @client.save
            redirect_to @client
        else
            render 'new'
        end
    end

    def update
        @client = Client.find(params[:id])

        if @client.update(client_params)
            redirect_to @client
        else
            render 'edit'
        end
    end

    def destroy
        @client = Client.find(params[id])
        @client.destroy

        redirect_to clients_path
    end

    private

        def client_params
            params.require(:client).permit(:name, :date, :note, :finished, :payment)
        end
end

A: Remove = from <%= @clients.each do |client| %>. It is outputting result of each which you don't need to print.
In ERB,

*

*<%= %>
executes ruby code as well as outputs the result
For example: <%= client.name %>

*<% %>
executes ruby code but doesn't output the result
For example: <% @clients.each do |client| %>....<% end %>

The Big Red One Essay
The 1st infantry division, known as The Big Red One had a very difficult job. Not only was it very physical but a very stressful mental job in the European Theatre in World War II. The 1st infantry unit had their own little battle to fight, survival. As Sap said at the end of the movie, "Survivors"¦. Only glory in war"¦if you know what I mean." This is also one of the themes the film writer, Samuel Fuller, was trying to convey to the audience. Another theme is that the axis and ally soldiers are both human beings but in war they are portrayed as animals in the fact that they are easily expended with out much question. Another good example of what I believe Samuel Fuller is trying to portray is the fact that the 1st infantry division is used in the same way that pawns are played in the game of chess in which there are many examples to support this throughout the movie. In general I believe the theme Samuel Fuller is trying to convey to his audiences is that the 1st infantry riffle man soldier was the first to attack, the first to secure enemy lines, the first to die, while trying to survive the game.The soldiers of the 1st infantry riffle men were young and had many hopes and dreams, and yet were shown more fear and evil than most men will ever possibly feel. These men who were in the 1st infantry division were the first line of defense. They moved into enemy territory and secured it. They did most of the fighting and most of the dying. The men in the movie, Griff, Vinch, Sap, and Johnson, did not want to get to know the names nor the faces of the replacements that were sent in place of those men who lost their lives in their group. The reason for this is that they all knew that it would only be a small time before the replacements were killed and new men would take their place once again. It would be gravely destructing to their minds and hearts if they had bonded to the replacements just to turn around to see they've been killed. They felt they needed to distance themselves from them in order to keep themselves as sane as they could in mist of the war.At one point in the movie one of the men, I believe it was Griff, told the sergeant that they had just murdered those German soldiers and the Sergeant replied, " It is not murder when you kill an animal is it? You kill it." The very next scene is of a German soldier that is telling his commander that he will not murder any more people. His sergeant said the same thing, "It is not murder, this is called killing the enemy just like killing an animal." These two statements from both sides of the war leads one to believe that the soldiers were thought of as animals and not human beings with a name, a face, and a heart. This shows that the 1st infantry riffle men on the U.S. side of the war were nothing but easy expenditure. They were something to face of the enemy with so that the rest of our military out fit can move in with little loss. Another way the American...

While working on a soon-to-be-released website, I needed the full-size profile picture of a Facebook user. Facebook has a shortcut for getting someone's profile picture, but the largest image you can get is just 200 pixels wide which is not enough for my application. This is a quick article explaining how to get the full size image, as I wasn't able to find it elsewhere.
If you're happy with a 200px wide image, you're best off using this link.
The following Graph API method works by doing two API calls: The first requests all the user albums and gets the ID of the album with the name "Profile pictures", the second gets the first image from that album. Conveniently, the current profile picture is always the first in the returned list.
// Get a list of all photos in that album.
The FQL method also requires two api calls: one to get the user id, and a second FQL query for that user's profile picture. You could lower this to one API call if you store the user id sometime earlier.
// the FQL query: Get the link of the image, that is the first in the album "Profile pictures" of this user.
A full size Facebook profile picture, free for you to do all sorts of cool stuff with. Let me know if you build a cool Facebook app and have been able to use this!
Why did you use query.wait?
It's the callback function for the query, because that takes some time.
Sounds interesting. I really need a picture but I don't know much about this facebook developer thing. Could you please make a step-by-step tutorial?
step by step tutorial would be amazing. i can't even find how to download that facebook sdk thing.
No, seriously, this seems really useful, many people are trying to deal with this problem and here's the solution. This should be made more accessible to people though. I'll also ask for step by step tutorial. Pretty please with sugar on top?
excellent,but i cant seem to store values recieved in query.wait value? how can i access the url found inside query.wait?
What happens if you have the album name in another language? How would you handle that?
Get all your freiend's profile image fullsize!
FYI: The new size options in the graph.facebook.com example are (instead of large): thumbnail, normal, and album.
Could this work with the PHP SDK?
To be honest, you should think about NOT capitalising the first letter of each comment….
. Haha james.. you are correct !……..
To do so…. edit your site template .
if you see any of below.. delete it. !
Please Explain your post. its difficult for beginners like me to understand.
i am using facebook api given by python. i managed to get the url of the image i want. but i am unable to download the image with that url (because of authentication). can u help me in saving the image using facebook-api of python?
i think there will be just 1 line code to do this.

This paper argues that both the institutions and the social cohesion of Palestinians in Jerusalem were dealt a heavy blow following the creation of the Palestinian Authority in 1994. The Palestinian Authority increasingly demobilized Palestinians within Jerusalem and eroded traditional institutions. Nevertheless, the Israeli occupation's intention to repress Jerusalemites by shutting down their organizations has inadvertently opened up new opportunities for collective action. Since then, Jerusalemites have begun reviving traditional institutions and working to address Israeli policies. This article incorporates new quantitative and qualitative data on the most recent waves of protest to make the argument that social cohesion is crucial to understanding protest capacity in East Jerusalem today.

North Korea Expert Pritchard: Agreement is a 'Good' One, But Dealing with Details Will Be Tough
Interview by Bernard Gwertzman, Interviewer
Charles L. "Jack" Pritchard, Interviewee
To help readers better understand the nuances of foreign policy, CFR staff writers and Consulting Editor Bernard Gwertzman conduct in-depth interviews with a wide range of international experts, as well as newsmakers.
Nonproliferation, Arms Control, and Disarmament
Charles L. Pritchard, a former top U.S. negotiator with North Korea, says the recently announced set of principles for ending North Korea's nuclear-weapons program was "a good agreement" and set the stage for the much tougher round of negotiations due to start in mid-November on working out the detailed procedures.
"While there are good elements in this draft, and by large it is a good draft, there are some weak points that have now got to be addressed to firm it up, or at least to formally set it aside to allow the tough work to take place in November," Pritchard says. He says the timing is crucial and asks, When does North Korea have to end its nuclear weapons work, and when do the other parties have to negotiate a civilian light-water nuclear reactor for the North?
Pritchard, a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution, was interviewed by Bernard Gwertzman, consulting editor for cfr.org, on September 20, 2005.
There was a bit of surprise euphoria in Washington on Monday when word of the agreement on North Korea's nuclear weapons was announced at the six-party talks in Beijing. This morning, some of the articles in the press are much more cautious and raise questions on whether the optimism was ill-founded. What do you think?
Well, there are two parts to that. One, the agreement that was reached Monday was a good agreement for a couple of reasons. First, it closed out the fourth round of negotiations; we were beginning to have exhausted negotiators, creativity had run its course. They had held two sessions, had met for twenty days, and needed to come to closure. There was a weakness, however, in what they came up with and that weakness was in fact the lines in which the accord said the DPRK [the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, or North Korea] "stated that it has the right to peaceful uses of nuclear energy" and that "the other parties expressed their respect and agreed to discuss at an appropriate time the subject of provision of a light-water reactor to the DPRK."
That was going to come back to unravel, in my opinion, at some point in the future. I did not expect it to unravel so quickly. I can think of a couple reasons for this, the most prominent one of which is the story out of the New York Times Tuesday. The story talked about the decision that Secretary of State [Condoleezza] Rice made in accepting this language; that while the administration was not particularly happy with it, they would go ahead and do it, but they would then immediately announce their own views as to what it meant.
When you're creating a compromise, a face-saving way for both parties to agree to move forward, it doesn't seem the wisest thing to then explicitly say what it does mean and what it doesn't mean so quickly after the ink is barely dry. And that is what I think has occurred. The United States was very explicit in saying that what this means is that North Koreans will first have to give up their entire nuclear weapons program, they'll have to re enter the Non-Proliferation Treaty [NPT] and abide by International Atomic Energy Agency [IAEA] safeguards.
Now that's a perfectly reasonable position to have, it's just not what the agreement on paper said. And I think that in turn, it caused a reaction by the North Koreans to put their own interpretation on that, and they've come back with probably a little harsher interpretation saying their original strategy, negotiating posture, of getting a light-water reactor, was an essential element before they would give up their nuclear weapons programs.
In many respects, that piece that was undone will have to be readdressed between now and November, if you want the November 15 round to proceed with the negotiations that were all along, by design, going to be much harder than what we've gone through in the last twenty days of negotiations in the fourth round of talks. That's essentially where we are.
I See. So, are we back where we were before this agreement was announced?
No, there are a lot of good things in the agreement itself but I don't think they represent a done deal. Now you've got to come back to what was the point in the purpose of the agreement, and I believe it's one in which the U.S. negotiator, Ambassador Christopher Hill, assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, wanted to have a statement of principles which would then guide or be the outline for what the ultimate deal would look like. Everybody would have a clear view of what we were moving toward and that would be a simplified way of getting there.
Now, in dealing with the North Koreans, that's not always the case. I think when he came back during the recess, during the fourth round, he expressed some degree of frustration that dealing with North Korea wasn't just a linear proposition, it had a circular element to it. Elements that you negotiated one day you would end up on another day renegotiating or talking about again. It didn't put them to rest once and for all. And so while there are good elements in this draft, and by large it is a good draft, there are some weak points that have now got to be addressed to firm it up or at least to formally set it aside to allow the tough work to take place in November.
How different is this from the Agreed Framework accord signed by the United States and North Korea in 1994?
One, the Agreed Framework was a final document, so you almost have to go back to an earlier version of a statement between the United States and North Korea—I think it was in 1993 to make a comparison—but let's just follow the parallels here. The Agreed Framework was designed to eliminate North Korea's nuclear weapons program as we knew it and, in return, the North Koreans were going to receive economic assistance and a path toward normalized relations. Now, as far as that is concerned, this is very much a parallel. It's the same kind of approach.
There are some shortcomings in the Agreed Framework that this administration will not want to repeat. And as far as they're concerned, I think those are probably two-fold. One is the scope of the players involved. The first Agreed Framework was in fact a bilateral document signed by the United States and North Korea, although it was implemented through the Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organization [KEDO], a consortium involving Japan, South Korea, and later the EU [European Union]. This new document will ultimately involve all six parties. That's No.1. The second part is that in the Agreed Framework, there were elements of nonproliferation concerns that were postponed. The Agreed Framework allowed North Korea to remain out of compliance with its NPT requirements until later in the Agreed Framework mechanism. To conclude, we did not have a provision to remove spent fuel until the first light-water reactor was being turned over to the North Koreans. So I think you will find in any agreement that this administration works toward there won't be a deferment of those types of nonproliferation concerns, that it will be verifiable, it will be upfront, and it will complete. So those are the differences that I think you should look for.
The New York Times made a point of saying there is nothing in the agreement specifically about North Korea's uranium-enrichment program.
I would disagree with that. When you take a look at the approach that the administration took in the first couple of years in the six-party talks, they essentially gave [former Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs] James Kelly instructions that said, "Point No. 1 is: You will gain the North Koreans' public admission to their highly enriched uranium program. Point No. 2: If you fail, go back to point No. 1."
What has occurred with Chris Hill is they have gone to a more subtle way of getting to this and that is through connect-the-dots language that they're using. The North Koreans will agree to give up all nuclear weapons programs and their related facilities, whatever the terminology is. So the "all" is one dot and the second dot is the reference in the document to the 1992 joint declaration of the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula which should be observed and implemented. That document is the link to enriched uranium. It prohibited enriched-uranium facilities and activities. The administration, I'm sure, if you asked them point blank, would say "No, it's there. It just doesn't say it in black and white with the words 'enriched uranium.' But the concept and the ability to resolve that is embedded in this document."
So I guess in the end its going to come back again to how much China wants to lean on the North Koreans, for instance, to not destroy this agreement. So we'll see what happens as we go along, right?
Well, I don't think the Chinese will exert the kind of pressure most Americans think they have. The Chinese do exert a level of pressure and North Koreans ultimately respond as it pertains to their views of the relationship with China. But the Chinese are not going to be able to control an on-off switch whether the North Koreans participate or don't participate. They certainly will try to keep them involved, but ultimately it will be a decision that the North Koreans have to make.

Administrative Assistant Joan Donahue is again heading up efforts for our Chanhassen facilities' campaign to support the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program. For more than 10 years, Joan has been organizing this event in Chanhassen in which employees can drop off new, unwrapped toys for children ages 1–18 in the lobby of each building December 3-15. Employees can also contribute monetary donations to help families in need provide their children with gifts during the holiday season.
A community sponsored Thanksgiving dinner will be held at Little Falls Community High School from 11 a.m.–1 p.m. Thanksgiving Day. There is no charge for this meal that is designed to bring the community together, but donations are accepted. Volunteers are needed to provide transportation to those unable to drive, prepare the meal, serve food and clean-up. This event is being held with assistance of the Little Falls Area Ministerial Association, Live Better Live Longer (LBLL) and Little Falls Community Schools. Those interested in participating, volunteering or donating to this event can visit the Morrison County Record webpage.
For the last several years, Hamburg employees have been teaming with the Salvation Army's Angel Tree efforts. In this gift drive, the local Salvation Army office provides Hamburg with angel tags to hang on Christmas Trees (located in facility lunchrooms) with a child's name, age and wish list on it. Employees who wish to participate select a name from the tree and shop for that child. On December 8, the Salvation Army will be picking up these gifts for distribution to the children. This year, the Hamburg team's goal is to bring an extra smile to 45 children.
Tomorrow (November 25), Hamburg will once again have its Book and Gift Fair. Employees can purchase books and other gift items on this date. All proceeds go to a local food pantry.
Warminster employees recently completed a fundraiser for Bucks County Housing Group, which is responsible for the maintenance and staffing of the three independently operated and funded community food pantries. Employees contributed non-perishable food items; baby food; baby formula; and personal items not covered by food stamps (i.e., soaps, diapers, toothpaste, etc.) for this group. This was the first year that the Warminster campus has assisted this group and was inspired by the high percentage of families with infants who depend on these three food pantries. The generosity of the Warminster team has caused this fundraiser to be a great success for the Bucks County Housing Group.
Thank you to everyone who has organized these giving opportunities and volunteered their time and efforts to helping those in need in our communities.

A badly blemished woman feels better when she can show her true skin to the world. The latest research indicates that women who wear corrective foundation feel worse than blemished women who go out bare-faced in the world.
•The women who used foundations to cover these kinds of marks reported having a lower health-related quality of life than did the women who didn't wear the same kind of makeup,• said Rajesh Balkrishnan, the study's author and a professor at Ohio State University (www.researchnews.osu.edu).
The surveyed women had severe facial scarring, acne, melasma, or hyperpigmentation. Participants' average age was 37. Ninety percent of the participants reported that they used corrective foundation to cover the blemish.
Whether or not they wore makeup, participants overwhelmingly felt that without their blemish other people would see them in a less negative light, and that the overall quality of their lives would improve.
The researchers found no difference in quality of life scores based on the type and size of a blemish. For example, a woman with bad acne did not feel any worse or any better than a woman with melasma.
But the more fearful a woman was of being negatively evaluated in public, the lower she rated her health-related quality of life.
It seems women want a medical solution to their acne or melasma ... not a cover-up. But what if there"s no medical cure? Then they want to be free to present their true skin, warts and all, and want to be accepted they way they are.

The Calgary Zoo opened a new exhibit early this Spring...the Penguins! However, it was rumored that the wait-time to get into see them was over 2 hours when they first arrived. Fast forward a few months...we arrived at the Zoo last week at 9:30am only to find that the wait-time was a whooping 45 minutes!
I don't know about your 2 year olds but there was no way I was waiting that long they would wait that long and so, we did the next best thing...we took pictures of the kids being penguins!
We are going to attempt to see the infamous penguins this Thursday and we plan to be at the Zoo for 8:45am...15 minutes before the gates open. If the line-up is more than 10 minutes I vow to never attempt to see those darn penguins ever again. LMAO!
You came up with a cool idea! I hope you all get to see the penguins this Thursday.
Ha!!! I took my 3 girls there last month, same here - I was NOT waiting that long in line. Us twin mamas think alike!!
I'll be hosting a free movie night in Calgary in a couple weeks, Would love for you and your kids to come. We'd get to meet!
Penguins and kids are almost always cute! A great combination.
Oh wow, 45 minutes?! I don't blame you for not waiting! Better luck next time!
The kids looks super cute in those photos!
I wish you luck next time around!!
Darn penguins! Cute pengkids, though! Have a great WW!
Very cool. Love the sunglasses as well.
My wordless is also a zoo trip! We were lucky though. We went yesterday and it was DEAD. It's usually packed. It was nice to feel like it was an exclusive trip just for us! Feel free to come enter my linky!

In a crushing defeat for Croatian national pride, a bid by nearly 400 men, women and children fell short of cracking the sought-after record for "most Smurfs gathered together at one time," British tabloid Daily Mail reported today. Some 395 people smeared themselves with blue makeup and slapped on white trousers and silly white hats for the event in a Croatian village. Apparently participants had gotten a bit of bad information, thinking that they only needed to get 291 willing to don Smurf garb in order to make history by exceeding a mark set in the U.S. Unfortunately, the record was set anew in 2007, when some 488 smurfy students at Warwick University massed in Bath, England, to etch a new highwater mark for such Smurf-themed confabs. Slipshod research seemed to be to blame. "We could easily have got more Smurfs, but we thought that over a hundred more than the American record we found on the Internet would be enough," a dejected spokesman for the group told the Daily Mail.

History does repeat itself. In Hollywood, back in the silent era there was an actress who from the time she was 11 or 12 was forced to play adult roles. As in the love interest of men two and three times her age. The studio machine told the world the actress was 16 or 17, which apparently was fine for her to have sex scenes at 16 with men who were so much older. Off screen, it wasn't just acting, our actress was passed around from actor to actor and director to director. One actor who was in his late 30's, supposedly married the actress, but no marriage certificate has ever been found. There was a blurb in the local newspaper announcing the marriage, but that was used as cover to pretend the actress was older than she really was. Much like Heather, our actress was used and abused and was dying. As she slowly died, her mother died of grief because she knew she allowed these things to happen for fame and money. A couple weeks after the mom died, our actress died, two years shy of being able to drive.


Historians and epigraphists examine the shape of letters to identify manuscripts or understand the development of a writing system. Analyzing letters and characters can also help bring an older story to light: that of the human brain and its evolution. It is at the intersection of these two stories that Olivier Morin became interested in an article published last year in the journal Cognitive Science. Fabien Roché, graphic designer and cartoonist, tells us this article for Terrain.
1Historians and epigraphists examine the shape of letters to identify manuscripts or understand the development of a writing system. Analyzing letters and characters can also help bring an older story to light: that of the human brain and its evolution. It is at the crossroads of these two types of evolution – cultural and cognitive – that this study of the shape of written characters is situated. It has revealed surprising constants in the shape of letters in writing systems around the world. These near-universal shapes – cardinal orientations and vertical symmetry – are ubiquitous features of the environment in which human brains evolved. Animals are also sensitive to them. Their visual cortex, the structure of which was in part shaped by genes selected over millennia of evolution, inherited an innate sensitivity to these shapes. Their presence in most letters makes writing easier for our brain to perceive. So how did they appear? Nothing in the historical comparison of past scripts and their descendants suggests that these properties resulted from a slow evolutionary process. They emerged spontaneously at the earliest stages of writing, and appeared when peoples invented syllabaries or alphabets with entirely new forms. While the vagaries of written transmission and changes in technique and medium obviously influenced letter shapes, they rarely affected these underlying structures. Thus, the letters born of human invention quickly converged towards cognitively optimal shapes, of which psychologists have only recently become aware.
2This comic is based on the following article: Morin, Olivier (2018). "Spontaneous Emergence of Legibility in Writing Systems: The Case of Orientation Anisotropy." Cognitive Science, 42 (2): 664–77. https://doi.org/10.1111/cogs.12550.

Big changes are in the air in Bodh Gaya, sacred site of the Buddha's enlightenment.
By Robert Pryor
For all its recent growth, the Buddhist pilgrimage town of Bodh Gaya, in northeastern India, remains a relatively quiet place where one can still watch farmers plowing their fields with oxen, and the most reliable method of travel remains the railway system. It was with considerable surprise then that on a recent October afternoon I heard the unmistakable sound of a large jetliner landing nearby. Although there has been talk for some time of a new airport near Bodh Gaya, most of us who are familiar with the pace of events here had some question about when such a project would actually be completed.
The next day's Hindustan Times confirmed that in fact an Airbus 320 had landed at the renovated Gaya/Bodh Gaya airport, completing a test flight from Calcutta, which is only forty-five minutes away by air. A few weeks later, the first direct flight from Colombo, Sri Lanka, brought pilgrims to Bodh Gaya, and this winter weekly flights are scheduled to arrive from Bangkok. The introduction of international jet service, along with the designation of the Mahabodhi Temple as a UNESCO World Heritage site earlier this year, are significant events in the history of the town. Buddhist leaders hope that the new international visibility and accessibility of Bodh Gaya will help to strengthen the dharma, while the local people anticipate a much-needed growth spurt in the region's economy.
The Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya, India © Dr. James Apple, Courtesy of Richard Pryor
Bodh Gaya is the site of Buddha Shakyamuni's enlightenment and is viewed by Buddhists as the most important pilgrimage place associated with his life. The Vajrasana (diamond throne), marking the spot where the Buddha sat in meditation under the Bodhi tree, is considered the center of the Buddhist world, and pilgrims have been traveling to Bodh Gaya since at least the third century B.C.E., when the legendary Buddhist emperor Ashoka made several elaborate state visits. The earliest archaeological remains here date from this period and the slightly later Sunga dynasty. The Mahabodhi Temple as we know it today, an imposing shrine that rises up beside the Bodhi tree and is visible for miles in all directions, was probably built in the fifth century C.E., during the Gupta period, and was described quite accurately by the seventh-century Chinese pilgrim Xuanzang: "To the east of the Bodhi tree is a Vihara between 160 and 170 feet in height. . . . It is built of bluish bricks, faced with plaster. It presents tiers of niches, each of which holds a gilded statue of Buddha."
Bodh Gaya continued to be a thriving center of Buddhist practice and education until the thirteenth century, when the Muslim conquest of northern India effectively ended most institutional Buddhist activity in this area. While other similar brick temples in northern India have fallen into complete ruin, the Mahabodhi Temple has survived, thanks to the repairs made periodically over the centuries primarily by Burmese and Chinese pilgrims. The most recent renovation of the temple was initiated by King Mindon of Burma in 1877 and completed by the British archaeologist Sir Alexander Cunningham in 1882.
This year the Mahabodhi Temple Management Committee has begun restoration work on the temple under the supervision of the Archeological Survey of India. In conversations with Bhikkhu Bodhipala, the head monk of the temple, I was intrigued to learn that the badly damaged 120-year-old cement coating of the brick temple is now being carefully replaced with a plaster made to ancient specifications. The recipe includes brick dust, lime, brown sugar, coconut husk fiber, and other natural components, which allow this composite plaster to last for at least one hundred years; the monsoon climate in northern India would crack cement plaster within fifty years otherwise. The fact that one can now find this ancient plaster recipe on the Web (at the Mahabodhi Temple website, www.mahabodhi.com) is a fine example of the complex weave of old and new that is evident in modern Bodh Gaya.
The population of Bodh Gaya has swelled to twenty thousand in recent years, and the town now hosts thirty modern temples representing all the major traditions of Buddhism, as well as a growing number of guesthouses, hotels, and restaurants. It is a scene that stands in dramatic contrast to the small rural village that existed here thirty years ago. Now the creak and sway of ox carts has given way to the grinding gears of tractors on the roads, and Internet venues stand alongside older market kiosks. Despite these and other changes, most people here would agree that this small town at the center of the Buddhist world continues to maintain its essential character, a place of inspiration to Buddhists the world over.
