Shop Joe Farrell & Joe Farley
Joe Farrell was born in Brooklyn and raised on the mean streets of Queens, New York. He first came to Pennsylvania to attend college, loved Pennsylvania, and never returned. He graduated from St. Vincent College in Latrobe Pa. with a degree in Psychology. He did outstanding graduate work at two prestigious Pennsylvania Universities (Indiana and Shippensburg), studying Clinical Psychology and Public Administration.
All three school are proud of him and frequently call and write to him and seek his advice about various issues, ask for money, and offer him special deals. Mr. Farrell has had a long and successful career in government and in two Fortune 500 companies as a high level manager and advocate for consumers. He started as a staff psychologist at Pennsylvania's Maximum security prison in Pittsburgh and after a few years was promoted to the Department of Corrections headquarters in Harrisburg. He later worked in the Governor's Office where he met and hired his co-author Joe Farley. Farrell moved on to the Pa. Public Utility Commission where he fought for consumers as the first Director of the newly created Bureau Consumer Services and once again hired Joe Farley. In his final 6 years at the Pa. PUC Farrell served as Deputy Executive Director before leaving to the private sector where he worked for two large electric companies as Manager of Customer Satisfaction. Once all their customers were satisfied Farrell returned to public service and presently serves as Executive Director of The Disciplinary Board of The Supreme Court of Pa. Joe Farrell is also author of the critically acclaimed "Confessions Of A Catholic Schoolboy" published in 2009. "Confessions Of A Catholic Schoolboy" is a humorous memoir of growing up and attending Catholic Schools in the tumultuous 1960's.
Joe Farley was born and raised in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. He was a member of the last graduating class at Hazleton Saint Gabriel's and was the starting point guard on the school's StateChampionship basketball team. While at Saint Gabriel's Mr. Farley demonstrated his academic prowess by graduating 37th in his class of 40. He then attended college at Bloomsburg University where, after four very dimly remembered years, he graduated with a degree in education.
In 1975, Mr. Farley was hired by Joe Farrell to work in the Governor's Action Center. Nine years later Farrell would repeat his mistake by hiring Mr. Farley to work for him at the Public Utility Commission. On May 21, 2010, after 35 years of state service he retired. Mr. Farley has not returned to work because he has been unable to find a cushy high paying position like Joe Farrell's. In addition, Mr. Farrell has apparently learned from his past mistakes as he has not attempted to hire Mr. Farley a third time. As a result Mr. Farley has concentrated his efforts at co-authoring his books Keystone Tombstones.

Domaine de Marquiliani Corsican olive oil, the best oil you've never heard of
I love it when I find something delightful no one else has heard of.
The thrill of discovery. That smug sense of satisfaction for being the first. And
I bet you've never heard of this one, Corsican olive oil. Domaine de Marquiliani olive oil to be precise.
Ok, well I'm not exactly the first to have found this. Olive oil has been made and enjoyed on the beautiful island of Corsica since 3400 BC. Still, most people I know, even the most hardcore foodies, have never heard of it so I am going to keep the smug, thanks much.
The first time I encountered Corsican olive oil was at Casa Corse, a nice Corsican restaurant in Paris. I'm a bit vague on the meal itself, but I remember the three baskets of bread I ate, as a mere conduit for that marvelous oil they served. I tried to ask the indifferent server what oil they use. Corsican oil, of course, he said, in that gruff reply that could only come from a discommoded French waiter. Not entirely in the mood to press him anymore, I left it at that.
The following weeks I went on a hunt for Corsican oil. I bought pretty much every kind I came across. That's still not adding up to many, mind you, since Corsican oils are something of a rarity even in Paris. I did a taste test in my little flat, and found one I loved the most. It was an oil from Domaine de Marquiliani, which I bought from the little Corsican épicerie near the Opera.
Corsican olive oil is something of an enigma. It has a strong herbaceous quality, almost like that of Tuscan-style olive oil, but without the acidity and that grassy green quality of the Tuscan oil. Part of the reason is the terroir. The hillside of Corsica is covered by the Maquis, the low shrubs composed of rosemary, sage, spiny broom, evergreen, myrtle and other herbs. (In fact, the shrubs cover the ground so well that the French resistance during WWII took the name Maquis as their own.) Olive groves in Corsica grow among these Maquis, and take the herbaceous quality from them.
Domaine de Marquiliani estate has been cultivating olives and producing olive oil since the 18th century. The olive fruits are picked very late, pressed cold, and let rest in the 18C (or 16F) cave for three months at the domaine before being decanted into bottles. The entire process is natural and chemical free, even though the producer, Anne Amalric, once worked as an agricultural chemist for the French government before returning to her roots in Corsica.
Amalric makes oil that has the traditional quality of Corsican oil, that's to say it has the herbaceous quality of the Maquis with a faint whiff of green almond. Her practice of picking very late and very ripe olives to press for oil gives her oil an amazingly supple, round quality and super low acidity, so you could taste all the qualities of the oil without that puckering, acrid acidity -present in so many fashionable oils these days- getting in the way. I just love it.
This oil is my favorite all-purpose oil at the moment. I'm using it in everything. Ok perhaps not in Thai curry, but pretty much everything else. I have two other finishing oils that I use, I'll write about them too soon.

P.S. Freshness is an important indicator of quality in olive oil, so before you buy from any of these merchants, ask them when the oil was produced. Each bottle of Domaine Marquiliani oil is marked with the date of production. I wouldn't buy any oil any older than two years.

FAA decision to close towers to affect 2 airports in JoCo
Closures begin on April 7
Two Johnson County, Kan., airports will be among the 149 towers the Federal Aviation Administration will close beginning April 7 because of the sequestration.
FAA says the towers at New Century Air Center and Johnson County Executive Airport in Olathe will close.
"We heard from communities across the country about the importance of their towers and these were very tough decisions," said Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood in a news release. "Unfortunately we are faced with a series of difficult choices that we have to make to reach the required cuts under sequestration."
"We will work with the airports and the operators to ensure the procedures are in place to maintain the high level of safety at non-towered airports," said FAA Administrator Michael Huerta.
In early March, FAA proposed to close 189 contract air-traffic control towers as part of its plan to meet the $637 million in cuts required under budget sequestration and announced that it would consider keeping open any of these towers if doing so would be in the national interest.
The FAA will begin a four-week phased closure of the 149 federal contract towers beginning on April 7.

The Arms Race to Grow World's Hottest Pepper Goes Nuclear
Nobody Holds Record Long; After 800,000 Scoville Units, Watch Out
"Please don't try this at home—we are fully trained idiots."
So went the disclaimer back in October 2010 as British pepper aficionado Leo Scott and his friend Lok Chi uploaded a video of themselves eating a new variety, the Naga Viper, developed by fellow grower Gerald Fowler. The warning was warranted as the two very experienced chiliheads sweated, writhed in pain and briefly lost the ability to speak after each chewing and swallowing one of the bright-red capsicums.

| 5.6°C Belfast
Children as young as nine are stealing mobile phones and hundreds of thefts are reported per day, according to police figures.
Thirty-three police forces in England, Scotland and Wales released data relating to stolen phones since 2010 and it shows that in the first eight months of this year, 264 mobile thefts were reported per day - up 7% on the previous year.
Hotspots included Hyde Park in central London, where 163 thefts were reported between May and August this year, and Greyfriars Road in Cardiff where 125 thefts were recorded so far in 2012.
According to the information, obtained by insurance company LV=, around 16,500 teenagers have been arrested for this type of crime in the past three years.
The Metropolitan Police said more than half of the culprits arrested in the capital were in their teens.
The youngest was in Leicestershire, at the age of nine, and officers from Scotland Yard and Suffolk both reported thieves as young as ten.
Only a tiny fraction of the phones were later recovered. Forces had dealt with 230,000 mobile phone thefts since 2010 but only recovered one per cent of the handsets.
Other areas with high levels of theft included Sheffield city centre with 1,309 thefts so far this year, Castle ward in Leicester where 742 were recorded, and Bristol city centre were there were 399.

Neuroscience Student Gains Experience at Johns Hopkins Internship
Aaron Dotson, a neuroscience junior, recently completed a research internship at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He spent the summer studying the progression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Aaron Dotson spent last summer participating in medical research at one of the world's most renowned institutes, the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
Selecting the JHU program over similar research internships at Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania, Dotson, a neuroscience junior, spent three months working with Dr. Brendan Canning at the Bayview Medical Center campus. The summer internship program in the division of pulmonary and critical care medicine provided Dotson with critical skills to pursue his career goal of becoming a doctor.
While at Johns Hopkins, Dotson studied the progression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. IPF is an incurable disease that leads to the thickening of the tissue in the lungs, making it difficult for them to move normally and to properly absorb oxygen. As a result, not enough oxygen is delivered to the organs and patients often die after three to five years.
"Before the program, I had no research experience whatsoever besides just taking biology lab here at UT Dallas," Dotson said. "But after the program, I can say I know what research is about, I know how to approach it, and I've learned many skills that I can use in my future."
Dotson was not the only Comet at Johns Hopkins — he visited and learned about the area with UT Dallas alumni Chanel Matney BS'11 and Therri Usher BS'11.
"His commitment and initiative to maximizing his education impressed me then as it continues to do so now. I am confident that he is going to be a terrific doctor, and we are very pleased to have him in our program."
"UT Dallas has other good relations with Johns Hopkins because of the faculty, such as Dr. John Hart, who had worked there for about 25 years in the department of neurology," Dotson said.
Also through networking in the UT system, Dotson was able to meet his inspiration, Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient and pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson.
Dotson remains a student to watch in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences. He is a UT Dallas Rising Star, a Student Ambassador, an avid volunteer in many UT Dallas programs, and has now participated in summer programs at Johns Hopkins University and Yale School of Medicine.
"I met Aaron during Welcome Week of his freshman year. His commitment and initiative to maximizing his education impressed me then as it continues to do so now," said Dr. Bert Moore, dean of BBS and the Aage and Margareta Møller Distinguished Professor. "I am confident that he is going to be a terrific doctor, and we are very pleased to have him in our program."

A quick one
Wednesday, June 27, 2007
And there's another label that says:
I realized everything boils down to the choices I make, ain't it? Makes me wonder: Have I made all the right choices? At the moment, I would have answered: "Not at all". But since God sent me a message today (Life is good!), I will have to sleep for now and maybe all the negative vibes in me will go away when I wake up tomorrow.
But before that, I would like to share with you the conversation we had upon leaving the house earlier. Ane and I saw this outside and it sparked the exchange:
Ane: That's ampalaya! (bittergourd)
Me: No that's patola! (vegetable that makes a loofa..dunno the english word for it hehe)
And then Joaquin came out with his dad, shouting:
J: Hey that's a pickle!
And we all laughed :) Smart, this kid is! But of course it was not what we said it was, those are budding flowers :) Sigh, I miss him already and we are still here! One last thing, if my brother G is reading this, he'd probably be so happy to know that today, we got him this:
It is the latest Paramore CD "Riot" and am sure he can't wait to get hold of it :)
There. Notice I actually uploaded photos, these are from my mobile phone. Hmmmmm...gotta work on the trip pictures soon!
Tata for now.

If only travelling is cheap
Saturday, June 23, 2007
One thing I learned to do while here on this side is to check online for destinations and Hotel Reservations. My sister showed me that it is indeed safe to transact online for Hotel Reservations, among other things (back in Manila, I am very apprehensive about doing business online because I am scared of scams, computer threats, and online theft!).
So while surfing online, I enjoyed looking for nice travel packages and Hotel Discounts (who wouldn't want discounts, eh?) and came across HotelReservations.com. What do you think I was doing looking for hotels/motels that are cheap? Oh well, my friend Ris and I were chatting last night and a trip to Las Vegas came up. I really wanna go there so I decided to study the costs and the possibility of joining them to a trip there soon. I found out that making Hotel Reservations online are really easy-peasy. I got to compare prices and this website offers one of the cheapest packages for travel (believe me, I did look for comparisons). Their packages often include airfare and hotels and if you want additional services, car rentals too! I reckon, if I want to go to Vegas, I would want to arrive in style (by plane, of course) and not tire myself driving for 10 hours!
Yeah, I spent some precious time researching and computing for rates. And realized that, no, we can't afford another travel. Hehe. At least not yet.

You're so weird, you think you're *totally* normal. Right?

|You Will Be a Cool Parent
You seem to naturally know a lot about parenting, and you know what kids need.
You can tell when it's time to let kids off the hook, and when it's time to lay down the law.
While your parenting is modern and hip, it's not over the top.
You know that there's nothing cool about a parent who acts like a teenager... or a drill sergeant!

A tag, a new blog for money opportunity and a funny video
Monday, June 18, 2007
- I have a very high tolerance for pain and heat. I take hot baths at noon and can sleep with comforter & closed windows even during summer;
- I am very Filipino but I don't like eating Adobo or anything that is cooked with vinegar;
- I can be so OC and paranoid about a lot of things. One time I felt sooo bad when someone "took" our regular bench at GHBC for two consecutive Saturdays...I had to do something about it on the third Saturday. I also have a thing for scrubbing things (plates, pots & pans, sink, the toilet..etc etc);
- I am calm when my voice is very clear, sometimes too loud (because of the hearing problem) but when I am mad, I am usually low-voiced;
- I do not feel complete if I don't have a pen in my bag (forget the mobile phone, or the license, but not the pen!);
- I eat Pakwan (watermelon) with Patis (fish sauce). Yum! Try it! :)
There. :) I don't know whom to tag anymore so if you are reading this and haven't done this yet...I am tagging YOU!
Moving on, I signed up for another blog-for-money site, Blogsvertise, this afternoon. As you must know by now, I am making some extra money just by blogging about certain advertisers. Blogsvertise falls in that category. I have already registered and I am just waiting for their approval. Once approved, I will be assigned to mention, talk about or incorporate certain advertisers in my blog entries. I do not need to endorse anything. Including links to the advertisers' website is usually enough. After the entry is posted, it shall be approved and all I do next is wait for the payment via Paypal. :)
It's 11pm already and I should be getting ready for bed. (I've been sleeping late the past few days!) But before I go, lemme share this very funny video sent by RL via email:

Now I am dreaming of OUR own house
Sunday, June 10, 2007
After mass today, we all went to Ikea to buy a few stuff. Since my sister's family just moved in to a bigger apartment, they figured they needed some new things for the house. Boy, I was in heaven just looking at the things in there! Our future house became so clear in my mind. I can't count how many times I told Ane how excited I am when we finally build our own and fill it with various fixtures and furniture :) I was more excited because yesterday, we visited a model-house near 101 and realized that such design is perfect for us, small yet maximized in terms of area!
Back in the Phils, we are staying in a studio-type pad above my in-laws'. In a few years, we plan to build our home on a small parcel of land we already own. Last year, we asked my FIL (since he is in construction) how much it would cost us to build a house. He said around P10k/sqm, no furnishings yet. Whoa!
So now, I am back to dreaming. Just dreaming. Today, I had fun collecting Ikea catalogues. Nice to look at, really. But that is where my reality struck...that we can't afford a fully-furnished house. Not at this time. Not yet.
But I am sure we will get there ;)

Plans for celebrating the golden anniversary of "America's band" included the long-awaited release of 1967's Smile - the most famous aborted album in rock history - and concerts reuniting the group's three main surviving members. The band's music is as influential now as it was 50 years ago, and this retelling of how the iconic rock group found itself in the annals of pop culture couldn't come at a better time.

Not Recommended
Ironically, it was one of the interviews that Mr. Dillon confesses he could not acquire that says it all, to paraphrase, "we're getting away from Beach Boys Q&As." I'll give credit to Dillon for telling us not only who he did interview, but more importantly who declined. That's honest and Dillon is obviously a huge fan, but fandom is not nearly enough to save the book. The idea seemed a good one, tell us some insider details about some of their songs, but once again, Dillon was honest and told us which songs did not make the cut and frustratedly, most of my favorite songs could not be in the book. I got very annoyed with his recollections of other books and of other interviews, not very original and quite boring. Dillon has a good voice for narration, smooth and even, but it felt rushed and never nuanced or enthusiastic. I really wanted this book to work, but it simply does not.
When the principal member dies in a band, it's very sad and tragic and the great ones know when to bury the band with the member. Kurt Cobain and Freddy Mercury of Nirvana and Queen respectively immediately come to mind. When they died, the surviving members allowed Nirvana and Queen to cease to exist. The Beach Boys survived the death of Dennis in 1983, but for me the band ceased to exist in 1998 with Carl's tragic end by cancer. Brian Wilson is still around, but he moved on personally and professionally, the rest of the cut and paste meaningless pseudo-BB bands should do the same.

Only for the true fan
Love the Beach Boys and like the author spent many years listening to snippets of Smile. I liked this book and as I was listening, stopped to hear the tracks as I went along. There are some very good stories here and a lot of things I didn't know about.
However it's really only for the fan and you'll be disappointed if you purchase this expecting anything other than the stories behind 50 songs.

TIME MANAGEMENT: When you pay Las Vegas a visit in the middle of summertime -- as so many Californians do, 100+ temps or not -- there are questions of where to schedule your time and put your energies. Basically you can break those questions down as such: Do you spend time in a highly air-conditioned casino or show? Or do you find a lounge and hold court at a spectacular pool for the better part of the day? It just so happens that Vegas does run hot and cold, and there are fans of both. Us? We have to put in poolside time come summer. (Or, really, any time of the year; we've all visited Sin City on a 88-degree February day, right?) If you're looking for the same, here are a few cool dips to consider during the summer -- or later seasons -- of 2012.
CHILLED CUCUMBERS: Our definition of little luxuries and a purely sybaritic day begins with chilled cucumbers sliced expressly to rest upon the eyes. Very fancy pants. Bare at Mirage has 'em, along with "iced towels rolled in flavored water" (Bare is also "toptional," we should add.) Wet Republic at MGM -- pictured above -- offers "underwater speakers." What? We want those in our pool (but first we need a pool). Mandalay Bay Beach offers its famous lazy river ride and Bellagio's Cypress Pool has, wait for it, misting butlers. We want a butler who will walk around with a mister (but first we need a butler). Feeling sybaritic and like you need some sun? To the 15 we go, dear Californians. To the 15 we go.

McCarthy, Bateman can relate to kids, 'Identity Thief'
- Melissa McCarthy %22brings the noise%22 as the identity thief
- Jason Bateman stars as the %22kind and meek%22 victim
- Both he and she are all about family
NEW YORK — No matter how rich and famous they may be, all parents share some of the same issues. High among them: flying cross-country with the kids.
Jason Bateman, who has been up since 2 a.m., recounts the trek from Los Angeles to Manhattan with wife Amanda and daughters Maple, 1, and Francesca, 6.
"As I'm flying over on the plane, Maple figured out how to make a really loud noise with her mouth. She started going 'Ah, ah' like a bird. It was the weirdest thing. All the other passengers are looking at me. All the headphones went on," says Bateman, 44. "And I thought to myself, 'Why did I do this?' It's a two-day trip and I always want to bring them. It's just so fun. There's room service."
Says Melissa McCarthy, who's flying solo on the East Coast while daughters Vivian, 6, and Georgette, 2, are back home with their dad, actor, Ben Falcone: "It's not real bright, but it's part of your charm. I did not bring my kids. I got seven hours of sleep. It's the first time in four years."
Bateman is a bit rueful. "I was watching you on Letterman last night. You looked so well rested and were in such a good mood. I'm like, 'That (expletive) didn't bring her kids.' And why would she?" he says to her.
In Bateman's case, at least, art mimics life. Like the character he plays in Identity Thief, Bateman is all about his family. In the comedy, opening Friday, his corporate middleman Sandy has his identity stolen by a crafty Florida grafter played by McCarthy. As his finances implode and his credit crumbles, he flies from Denver to the Sunshine State to retrieve her and have her arrested.
"It was important for this guy to really be us. Nothing bad could happen to him. He's sweet, and his lake is placid, until she throws this big rock in the middle of it. Sandy seemed like a kind and meek central character, and that was fun to play," says Bateman.
And his character's unisex name was equally well thought-out and is one of the film's running jokes. "We went through a long list of names. Gene and Aaron. But Sandy seemed right," he says.
Despite both moving in top-tier comedy circles, Bateman and McCarthy had never met before this script came along. He went to the premiere of 2011's Bridesmaids and was stunned by McCarthy's portrayal of Megan, a woman so bold, so cocksure and yet so good-hearted that she strutted away with the movie. Bateman had been developing Identity Thief, and even though McCarthy's role was originally written for a man, the script was revised and he pursued her for it.
"This one brings the noise," says Bateman of his co-star. "In this, she played the character so humanely. That's the line of work available to this woman, and it's victimless. It's not malicious or skeevy."
McCarthy, after winning an Emmy in 2011 for her CBS series Mike & Molly and wowing audiences and tastemakers alike with her no-holds-barred turn in Bridesmaids, is Hollywood's current hot commodity. She signed on after a casual lunch with Bateman and bought his pitch of playing a scammer with a killer left hook and a penchant for claiming to have fibromyalgia. And the end result is all the product of Bateman's pursuit and planning.
"I found it undeniable when I read the script. It was tailored perfectly for (McCarthy)," says director Seth Gordon. "Everyone knows how funny she is and how relatable and winning, but the emotional complexity of this character is not something people expect, or how great an actress she is. Jason is wonderful in it and does that straight-man role better than anybody I know, but this shows a side of Melissa that a lot of people won't see coming."
Her character is precise, meticulous, crafty, physically tough, and a brawler when the need arises.
"There's no apologies. That's my favorite thing about her. I love that she's stealing from people because she's lonely. She's found out that the way she can connect to people is through buying stuff. I love the mix that it's really funny but also heartbreaking," says McCarthy.
They sealed the deal in the most ordinary way possible, over a handshake and a smile.
"We had a meal and talked about what the concept was. And she was like, 'Yeah, let's do it.' She was so casual about it that I knew I was going to get a call in traffic," says Bateman, who predicted that her immediate acquiescence was a front.
McCarthy laughs, shakes her head. She had no intention of backing out, especially given that Horrible Bosses' Gordon was directing."We both had similar senses of humor. We both have an aversion to wacky," she says.
That's not to say the film features a refined or dainty McCarthy. There's a rather, uh, raw sex romp with Modern Family's Eric Stonestreet, who proudly displays his posterior.
"America has waited long enough to see it," says McCarthy, 42. "I'm going to say that maybe he's a speedwalker. Just throwing it out there."
Films aside, both Bateman and McCarthy seem to have similar sensibilities. They are both understated in person, with none of the manic antics found in other comedians. And they both seem pleasant and courteous.
"It's not too much of an effort to be kind. I think everyone is innately kind. Insecurities generate bad behavior. If you can either be accountable for your insecurities or do some therapy, either way, I think it's human nature to be kind. It's not that much of an effort for me to be nice. To not be nice would make it hard to sleep at night," says Bateman.
As for McCarthy, "I refer to myself in the third person. Can you imagine?"
No, we can't. McCarthy says she's choosy about her roles; she just wrapped the summer comedy The Heat with Sandra Bullock, and continues shooting Mike & Molly (9:30 p.m. ET Monday). She plans on doing the show "as long as they'll have me. I had dinner with (co-star) Billy (Gardell) last night. We have the bizarrely nicest group."
She's not complaining about the demands of her surging career, or her ability to balance parallel projects with the needs of her family. "I'm not quite sure how I do it, but I waited a long time to just get a job and call myself an actress and that be the way I support myself. The fact that I have multiple opportunities to do that, I pinch myself every day," she says.
She's not as sanguine or dauntless as Sandy is, and she lacks her character's false bluster.
"Part of what is great about the bravado is that it is false, which I always find interesting. I'm certainly not shy, but I like playing it because I love those characters that are incredibly confident but really still a mess. I'm really happy in my life. I don't storm around doing whatever the hell I want in my daily life," she says.
Gordon calls McCarthy "the coolest, funniest, friendliest. This sums it up: My assistant had never worked on a film before this, and Melissa gave her a gift of a great chair for her on set as a welcome to the industry. That's not something people do. It was special."
Yet when you talk to her, the topics are ordinary in the best sense. Inevitably, all the chat veers back to family. Like all parents, famous or not, McCarthy and Bateman both commiserate about kids' temper tantrums. His tip: Dig deep into your untapped reserves of patience. McCarthy, who's now dealing with an older daughter who is very picky about her clothes, doesn't have an answer.
"I know those fights. I tried ignoring. I tried soothing. I tried being louder. What if I went up and over them? My husband is always like, 'None of it works. Nothing works.' But I'm going to keep trying the ineffective stuff," she says.
Her home life aside, McCarthy's career is on the ascendance, but as anyone with a TV knows, Hollywood isn't typically kind to actors who aren't a size zero. Might she be relegated to kooky-best-friend roles?
She doesn't need to worry, Bateman says of McCarthy, who played the sidekick on Gilmore Girls. "She's way overqualified for that. She leapfrogged that with her performance in Bridesmaids. She's so comfortable in her skin that I don't think she's going to be pigeonholed. She's a woman that women would want to be. I admire how confident and talented and comfortable she is. She won't ever be relegated to the drinking buddy. She's all woman. She's too smart to take those parts," he says.
Predicts Gordon: "I totally understand the question but she transcends everything because her talent is so raw and pure and she's a force of nature. She will become an icon. She's one of the comic greats."

TORONTO - Falling mining stocks pushed the Toronto stock market slightly lower Monday as traders looked to a heavy slate of earnings news coming out this week.
The S&P/TSX composite index declined 6.71 points to 14,493.68. The Canadian dollar was down 0.01 of a cent to 90.79 cents US.
New York's Dow industrials closed up 40.71 points to 16,449.25, the Nasdaq composite index was 26.03 points higher at 4,121.55 and the S&P 500 index climbed 7.04 points to 1,871.89.
After the close, Rogers Communications (TSX:RCI.B) posted adjusted earnings for the first quarter of 66 cents a share, four cents lower than analyst estimates.
Rogers acquired additional wireless spectrum during the January auction for $3.3 billion, which will be needed to allow consumers to stream NHL games on their mobile devices. Rogers scored a $5.2-billion multi-year deal last fall for the Canadian rights to all NHL games and its shares inched up a penny to $44.28.
"There's a bit of a transition going on in that industry," said Craig Fehr, Canadian markets specialist at Edward Jones in St. Louis.
"We're seeing the telecom providers understand that the real future of profitability and pricing power relates to the delivery of content, particularly as it relates to the mobile platform."
Teck Resources (TSX:TCK.B) reports Tuesday and its results will be impacted by falling commodity prices. Copper prices have tumbled 11 per cent this year and coal prices have fared even worse, falling from US$300 a tonne in 2011 to about $120 a tonne. Teck shares slipped 30 cents to $24.01.
Meanwhile, Canadian Pacific (TSX:CP) also reports Tuesday and investors will look to see how severe winter weather affected the railway in the quarter and how increased petroleum shipments have lifted the bottom line. CP shares climbed 78 cents to $163.99.
The tech sector in particular will be in focus as traders take in earnings during the week from tech heavyweights including Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Microsoft. The results are being released following a sharp correction in the tech sector that has seen the Nasdaq index drop about five per cent this month.
"We saw a big sell-off in the markets and it was driven by this concern that stocks in general have become overvalued — but there were certainly pockets of the market that were frothy and technology was really at the centre of that," added Fehr.
"So we saw some of that froth come out of the market but the good news is that it didn't seep into the broader market."
After the close, Netflix reported quarterly earnings per share of 86 cents, three cents ahead of estimates.
Elsewhere on the corporate front, TransCanada shares fell $1.92 to $49.38 after the U.S. government said Friday that it needs more time to prepare its recommendation to President Barack Obama on the company's Keystone XL pipeline.
Barrick Gold (TSX:ABX) shares were down 78 cents to $19.03 as the Wall Street Journal said that merger talks between the Toronto-based mining company and Newmont Mining had broken off last week. However, sources told Bloomberg and others that the issues separating the two parties are minor, leaving open the possibility that the deal could still happen.
The gold sector was the biggest weight, down about 0.4 per cent as June bullion fell $5.40 to US$1,288.50 an ounce.
The metals and mining sector was down 0.34 per cent with May copper unchanged at US$3.04 a pound.
The TSX energy sector was off 0.05 per cent as May crude in New York added seven cents to US$104.37 barrel.

OHANAEZE Youth Council, OYC, has called on the Federal Government to urgently rebuild the Palace of Eze Israel Kanu of Afara Ukwu, father of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, leader, Nnamdi Kanu, destroyed last September when soldiers raided it in search of the IPOB leader.
According to Ohanaeze Youths Council, rebuilding the palace could go a long way in assuaging the anger of the community on the illegal invasion of the community by soldiers and the attendant trauma they went through.
"After our investigation, we assure IPOB that there is no iota of truth on the planned establishment of a mini military barracks in Afara." "Though we are not holding forth for Federal Government or Abia state Government on the issue, but it is high time we reconcile with all agitators and heal the wounds of Python Dance which left many Igbo youths dead, many Igbo youths are still in the morgue and we are worried of how they will be buried.
"Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council worldwide will always defend the interest of Ndigbo, especially from any external aggression and our collective enemies. "We still call on all Biafra agitators to focus on the 2018 Biafra restoration through the universally accepted peaceful referendum, and never be distracted by rumours peddlers.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youths Council Worldwide will do anything peaceful to ensure that our youths are not victims of military brutality.
"We call on the Federal Government to rebuild the Palace of HRM Eze Israel Kanu, whose traditional palace was wrongfully destroyed during the operation Python Dance, and urged Abia state Government never to be distracted in their efforts to rebuild Abia and call on Governor Ikpeazu to be the father of all in Abia".

2011's Best Cookbooks, Tested And Tasted
Hear T. Susan Chang Talk About Her Picks With NPR's Audie Cornish
There are many ways to describe the season between Thanksgiving and New Years, but for cooks, it's cooking season. People across the country are dusting off pots, pans and favorite cookbooks to prepare for multiple holiday dinners and all the meals in between. Host Audie Cornish speaks with Susan Chang of NPR's Kitchen Window about the best cookbooks to cook from or give for the holiday season.
There are many ways to describe the season between Thanksgiving and New Years, but for cooks it's cooking season. People across the country are dusting off pots, pans, and favorite cookbooks to prepare for multiple holiday dinners and all the meals in between.
NPR Kitchen Window Contributor Susan Chang started her holiday cooking early. She's been busy in her test kitchen coming up with a list of the year's best cookbooks to use and to give in the holiday season.
Susan Chang is at the studios of New England Public Radio in Amherst, Massachusetts. Susan, welcome to the program.
SUSAN CHANG, BYLINE: Great to be back, Audie.
CORNISH: So, in my house, I have a rule: No buying cookbooks that you don't think you're going to cook at least five recipes from.
CORNISH: So please tell me that in this giant stack of books you've sent my way, some of these meet the criteria.
CHANG: Absolutely. In fact, I have a new way of deciding which are the best cookbooks and one of them is, is it useful? Would an enthusiastic home cook find something to cook in that cookbook for at least a week, without getting tired of it?
CORNISH: 'Cause a lot of the times they're for the pictures, right? They're coffee table books more than kitchen books.
CHANG: Yes, there are an awful lot of books that are just wonderful for reading or browsing, but you really don't want to put them on your kitchen counter.
CORNISH: A lot of people are starting to or getting ready to hunt for holiday gifts for family and friends. And are there any books on your list that you think make particularly good gifts?
CHANG: Absolutely. I think there's a book in my top 10 that I think is ideal for people who are weeknight cooks or just starting out, and that's Melissa Clark's "Cook This Now." It's an incredibly versatile everyday book. And it's tremendously entertaining and also reliable. It's - I consider Melissa Clark one of my emergency cooking people, like she's right up there with the flashlight and bottled water.
CORNISH: Right, she is the food writer for The New York Times' dining section.
CHANG: That's right. But I think what Melissa does so beautifully is she takes what she's learned from cooking in so, so many idioms over the years and she applies it in different contexts.
CORNISH: There's a mean mac and cheese recipe in here, too.
CHANG: Oh, I believe it.
CORNISH: With carrots - shredded carrots, which I was very disbelieving of this but I kind of read into it. And there's enough cheese to convince me.
CHANG: I'm sure.
CORNISH: You've tested a lot of recipes to come up with this list; any favorites - official favorites?
CHANG: Official favorites, yes. I really enjoyed a dish called orzo with lemon and yogurt sauce from "American Flavors" by Andrew Carmellini. He's a chef who's written an unusually thoughtful cookbook. Oh, and you know, I just loved the roasted cauliflower with pomegranate seeds, mint and salted yogurt from "Cook This Now."
CORNISH: Wow, that sounds really good.
CHANG: It's outrageous.
CORNISH: So, another book that I found interesting was actually the smallest book, when I fish about in my pile here. It's called "What Chefs Feed Their Kids: Recipes and Techniques for Cultivating a Love of Good Food." Tell me more about the people behind this book.
CHANG: Yes, I will. This is actually the first time I'm recommending a book that geared towards feeding kids. And what I love about it, is that it's not patronizing. You know, this is a book that realizes kids can eat pretty much like adults. And what's great about it is that all of these recipes come from working chefs who are also parents.
Now, chefs are really busy people and those brave enough to be parents have this problem they have to solve. Number one, they have to teach their kids to eat well. And number two, they've only got like five minutes before they have to go feed all these other people. Right? So, this book has been tested under much more difficult conditions than you or I might face.
CORNISH: And the recipes are recipes are interesting. I mean one of them is for nori chips, which is seaweed...
CHANG: Oh, yeah. Yes.
CORNISH: There's another recipe for risotto-style brown rice. And the book is helpful, I find, because it gives you literally year-by-year suggestions on how to deal with the kid who is two years old. Who's, you know, two and half years old and all the up to the teens.
CHANG: That's right. I think that it's a very thoughtful book that way. And I think its realistic in I think that kids are more sophisticated than we give them credit for.
CORNISH: Susan, there is one more book I wanted to ask you about. And this book was called "The Food 52 Cookbook: 140 Winning Recipes from Exceptional Home Cooks." And what's interesting about it is it's like a crowd-source cookbook, like essentially a website - people who run a website kind of took in recipes and made a selection. And it seems like an interesting marriage between the digital and the tactile.
CHANG: It is. That's Amanda Hesser's and Merrill Stubbs' book. And "Food 52" is a blog. I don't tend to necessarily always chose blog books because very often they're just sucked off the blog and nothing particularly special about it. But this one was different.
First of all, it's a collection of recipes from clearly very committed home cooks who are serious people, who are passionate about food. And that came through in the recipes. And furthermore, it was beautifully curated by the editors. It was clear that Amanda and Merrill had been testing these recipes and thinking about them, and streamlining them to make them useful in any person's kitchen. So I thought that was worth appreciating.
CORNISH: Susan Chang is a regular contributor to NPR's Kitchen Window. And her new book, out this month, is "A Spoonful of Promises." She joined me from New England Public Radio in Amherst.
Thanks so much.
Thank you so much, Audie.

Today at the Google I/O conference in Mountain View, California, the company unveiled a new API for Google Tasks, which will open up the tool to outside developers. While the announcement itself was a fairly geeky, programmer-grade event, it has broad implications for productivity-focused workers of all stripes.
What the new Google Tasks API will do is allow third-party developers to integrate Google Tasks into their own tools, so you'll be able to sync your to-do lists between Google Tasks and a variety of popular productivity and project management apps. So far, Google has announced four outside apps that have started using the API in the last few weeks: Producteev, Manymoon, Mavenlink, and Zoho.
Notably, three of these four apps are from the project management space, which should give us a clear indication of how Google and other developers view the relationship between Tasks and third-party tools. Tasks will serve as a simple satellite to the specialized project management services, putting prioritized to-do items within plain view in Gmail and Google Calendar, while preserving the primacy of the project management app for more complex work.
Producteev, by contrast, is a personal and group to-do manager that stands alone or plugs into Google Apps. So while project management apps have the early lead in GTasks API integration, we could see this API pop up a host of mobile and Web apps over time, in much the same way as Toodledo syncing has become a staple feature in many mobile apps over the past year or so.
While I'm not aware of any major announcement from other software companies, users of Remember the Milk and other popular to-do apps are already clamoring for the developers of those apps to get this API added in. Bringing Tasks syncing to such apps would likely be a far better solution than the existing Gmail plugins that many such Web apps currently feature, opening a two-way communication path between Gmail and Google Calendar, and the apps we've all grown dependent on to track our next actions.
It's worth wondering whether Google Tasks is now set to overtake other productivity tools in the marketplace. For the most part, I doubt it. I see no evidence that Google is building out Tasks with the depth of functionality that would be required to unseat Toodledo and RTM, though users of low-complexity task tracking apps might very well make the jump.
Would you want Google Tasks syncing added to your favorite to-do app? Yes or no? Tell us why in the comments.

The Greek word ìáñãáñéôçò meaning "pearl" itself is a borrowing from the Old Persian marga-reta "bird like", originally refering to the shell which contained the pearl, which resembles the wings of a bird folded over each other! Marga is "bird" (c.f. New Persian morgh "bird") and reta was a relative suffix.
See: Ferdinand Justi "Iranisches Namenbuch" and C. Bartholomae "Altiranisches Woerterbuch".
-- khodadad 1/22/2006
The only information I could find for "marga" was that it was an Indo-Iranian word meaning 'meadow' and a Sanskrit word meaning 'path.' (ie. The margas of Indian philosophy) Don't know if that's useful or not, but there you are. I'd love it if the derivation came from 'bird-like' but I couldn't find any other info about that.
-- earthnut 6/3/2007
"Ultimately from Greek margarîtçs, 'pearl,' probably of Iranian origin."
From The American Heritage Dictionary, 4th ed., under the entry for "margarite":
The Iranian word was marjan, originally meaning 'pearl,' though the modern word means 'coral'.
From A. Mingana, "On the Meaning of the Persian Word for Pearl and Coral." Man, Vol. 25, Mar., 1925 (Mar., 1925), pp. 41-42:
Marjan is also a feminine Iranian name in its own right.

Nokia was looking at some of its numbers when somebody noticed that the popularity of classical music ringtones was pretty high, second most popular. So did they shrug this inane newes off with amused sighs and feeble "that's neat"s? Not at all. They went out and hired a whole 55-piece orchestra to whip up 25 more. Overkill maybe?
The orchestra was commissioned to perform and record 25 original 'miniatures' composed by Nokia's in-house 'sound designers'. Hopefully for all of us those aren't the same sound designers that were behind Nokia's god-awful dubstep ringtone remix. Some of the recordings are already rolling out to Lumia 820s and 920s, with some being saved for upcoming phones. All things considered, if this is what the people want, you can't fault Nokia for trying to give it to them, but it kind of makes you wonder, right? I mean, what have they got in store for the number one ,ost popular ringtone type? [The Telegraph]

The best ham in the world is Jamon Iberico, period.
Produced from black Iberian pigs that roam the southern Spanish pastures, freely gorging on acorns, grass and herbs, Jamon Iberico is high in fat content and even more so in flavor. If you're lucky enough to have consumed Jamon Iberico, chances are you've done so in its cured form, which literally melts at room temperature. This isn't Boar's Head.
U.S. & World
At La Fonda del Sol, however, executive chef Chris DeLuna is serving up fresh cuts of Jamon Iberico as a seasonal special off of his Jamon Iberico de Bellota menu. Jamon Iberico in its cured form only first arrived in the United States in 2007, and the fresh pork is rarely available outside of Spain, so this is a real treat.
Paired with Spanish wines, the Jamon Iberico de Bellota menu continues to build by putting the emphasis on the star ingredient. An amuse of Fava beans, morsels coated with Iberico fat and served on a crostini, dissolves in your mouth and is rich, but balanced.
Next comes the Secreto, the "secret" cut from under the pig's rib cage, which was traditionally kept by the butcher for himself. With a single bite of this tender pork, you understand why. Salted with only a pinch of coarse salt to enhance a fine layer of charred fat, the thin strips of grilled Jamon fall apart with each moist, juicy bite.
Then the Pluma, a seared Iberico sirloin steak, presented over a marcona almond puree which draws out the nutty flavors of the steak itself, is doubly reinforced with a drizzling of cider pork sauce.
Finally the Chulatero, an Iberico rib eye, presented tableside, pluming with smoke from the wine vines it was just grilled over. The hearty aromas fill the dining room and leave you yearning for a bite as the server takes the steak back to the kitchen for plating. Served bone in, it's the highlight of a meal that continues to outdo itself. Leaking au jus, each bite is a smoky reminder of how good food can be, especially when the foundation ingredient is perfection.
After a meal this delicious you are certain to be as happy as a pig in... well, you'll be very happy.

Great Car- Be mindful of climate/temp
By MO Driver on Sunday, May 26, 2019I want to set the record straight. Almost every review on KBB states this car gets worse MPG than advertised. When I was purchasing this car, the dealer informed me that they don't sell a lot of hybrids in the Midwest, as the climate doesn't do the cars a lot of favors. I've always wanted a hybrid/EV and the price was right on the Accord Hybrid EX. I purchased in Oct. when the weather was getting cold, and the car only got ~37 mpg. After some testing, I found that the heating requires massive amounts of battery, and the cold weather also makes the battery hold and discharge the batter less efficiently. As soon as spring hit, I've been getting as high as 50.5 mpg as a tank average! I got around 500 miles before filling up, and the gas light hasn't even turned on. This is a fantastic vehicle, but you have to be mindful of where you live, and what the weather is like. This car would be perfect for Hawaii or a coastal city that sees stable, >60 weather year round. Hope this helps clear up the issue of people reporting lower than expected mileage.

Good car mpg not what indicated
By A on Thursday, February 14, 2019Love the car, but averaging 38mpg's in eco mode, driving on cruise, mostly freeway. mpg's grossly over advertised.
- 4.0
Gas Mileage
By DB on Tuesday, April 02, 2019I have the EX-L hybrid model and overall I am happy with this car. It is very comfortable and the features on the car work well. I have only had the car a short time. However, I was experiencing the same low mileage problems that others have stated. I was getting high 30s and low 40s per trip. Then I decided to turn off the ECON mode. My gas mileage is now averaging 46 mpg. I even went on a short 20 min trip and got over 50 mpg. I don't think ECON means what Honda thinks it should mean. The only other issue I have had is that a rattle over the drivers door has developed. I can only hear it when I am driving with the audio off. It is a bit annoying that a new car already has a rattle similar to what would be expected in an older car. Hopefully the dealer will be willing to take a look and hopefully repair this annoyance.

"The Fundamentals Still Apply, as Time Goes By..."
…The main thing for me is a change in attitude and philosophy around money and the economy. Many of my friends and fellow Gen-Xer's still haven't gotten it.
My Grandfather was in his seventies and I was a teenager when he started to tell me on a regular basis, "You know Grandpa wont be around forever." Damn if he didn't live to be 94 years old, and I got the benefit of more than twenty years of his parting wisdom.
He was an experienced 21 year-old: he'd had the fingers of his right hand half-blown off at 14 in a mining accident, sold films to Northern California movie houses for 20th Century Fox as a teenager, and after spending several years working for his late Grandfather's partner in construction struck out on his own pouring concrete with his brother in Oakland California.
My grandfather never went to college and took a job with the Carnation Company in 1931. He started out selling Evaporated Milk and Polenta to the mostly Italian grocers of North Beach in San Francisco. During the 1930s he took the ferry from Oakland to San Francisco every morning and watched the SF Bay Bridge, then the Golden Gate being built. He worked his way up from being an Evaporated Milk Salesman to what we would call in today's terms the COO of the company. His great strength, among others was the ability to really know what the Harvard educated execs didn't get: what really goes on – on a day to day basis in the kitchens of America.
Nestle bought Carnation over two decades ago. He would have rolled in his grave if he knew that Nestle put out a product (Pre-made cookie dough) without understanding how their customers would use it...in this case they ate it raw! You probably heard about the recall a few weeks back.
He also taught me about the fundamentals of a good investment: strong leadership, solid dividends, and moderate PE ratios, etc. He saw the scam that Enron was pulling long before it went bust... and made a profit from it. He started railing against derivatives to anyone who would listen as much as fifteen years ago.
"Lets take off the bandage and look at the wound," he'd say… and problems would be days if not minutes from being solved.
Despite his typical bias toward action, he was fond of saying, "Sometimes the hardest thing to do is nothing."
I'm taking both of these lessons to heart right now.
Great anecdotal story about your grandfather, Martin. Thanks for sharing!
Martin also shared this picture of his grandfather's social security card... it is from 1935, one of the original issued:
I'm thinking an entire generation is relearning the lessons of the past. Despite our now instant communications and record of history, collectively we don't seem to act on those past lessons. Perhaps that will change some day.


text: Anne Hathaway Named Goodwill Ambassador for UN Women 11:06 AM PDT 6/15/2016 by the Associated Press FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Gregg DeGuire/WireImage/Getty Images UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka said Hathaway will put the spotlight on women's work at home caring for their families as a key barrier to equality. UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The UN agency promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women appointed Academy Award-winning actress Anne Hathaway as a global goodwill ambassador on Wednesday, calling her a longstanding supporter of women's and girls' rights. UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka said Hathaway will put the spotlight on women's work at home caring for their families as a key barrier to equality. "The 'motherhood penalty' ... is a particularly insidious demonstration of gender inequality in the workplace," Mlambo-Ngcuka said Wednesday. "The appointment of Anne is timely because this year UN Women is driving hard to foster more positive mindsets and practical arrangements around workplaces that build and support equality for women." She said Hathaway will be making the case that parental leave for mothers and fathers and childcare services are two important ways for employers "to demonstrate that they understand the value of their staff — both male and female." Hathaway, who won the best supporting actress Oscar in 2013 for her role in Les Miserables, said in a statement that she feels "honored and inspired by this opportunity to aid in advancing gender equality." Said the actress, "Significant progress has already been made but it is time that we collectively intensify our efforts and ensure that true equality is finally realized." The 33-year-old actress previously served as an advocate for the Nike Foundation, which supports programs to empower adolescent girls in the developing world, and traveled to Kenya and Ethiopia to raise awareness of child marriage. In 2013, she narrated the CNN documentary, Girl Rising, which focused on the power of female education. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME the Associated Press email@example.com @thr
