Culture, review, Terrorism
United 93 dredged my anger and hate about September 11, the silt of my soul that is never far below the surface.
I wasn't sure whether I should see the movie. Some of you who have come to this page more recently and find mostly blathering about media may not know that I started this blog after September 11, because I was there. It's personal for every one of us. For me, the memories and emotions are inseparable. Before I went into the theater, I even made sure to take my heart pill, because fear triggers my arrhythmia. I really wasn't sure I could take it.
The planes hitting their targets one more time hit me as those scenes always do, except these images usually are not part of a drama; they are the drama. The sound and sight of the people on this plane calling home to tell their families goodbye was so sad and so close to home it was about unbearable; as I've told you before, since September 11, my children still no longer let me leave the home without saying that they love me and hearing me say it to them.
But the movie starts and ends not with the victims but with the criminals who committed these murders, praying to a God who surely must disown them or there is no God. They are the objects of my anger and hate.
The meme running through many of the reviews of United 93 is that it is carefully made, but the critics wonder why it was made. Let Salon's Stephanie Zacharek speak for most of the critics (and more eloquently than many of them):
I've never had a more excruciating moviegoing experience in my life, and as brilliantly crafted — and as adamantly unexploitive — as the picture is, it still leaves you wondering why it was made in the first place….
But I went into "United 93" with a feeling of dread, and ultimately, I'm not sure Greengrass did much more than pluck at that dread with dogged, if scrupulous, persistence. I walked out of "United 93" feeling bereft and despondent; my stomach muscles had tensed into a seemingly immovable knot. But the picture didn't make me feel anything I hadn't fully expected to feel.
Yes. The movie is meticulously and masterfully made. The performances — including especially those from the people in the FAA and military control rooms who play themselves — are incredible. The entire effort is restrained, respectable, and respectful. It tries hard not to tell you what to feel because it doesn't have to. And I can't tell you whether you should go because only you know whether you could or should bear it. Nor can I tell you why director and writer Paul Greengrass made this film.
All I can tell you is my reaction, beyond that dread and sorrow and admiration for the heroism and humanity of the victims. I felt the anger and hate again. This is a movie about a crime, a mass murder, a Godless sin.
But not according to The New York Times. In a parody of Times reviews, Manohla Dargis — who also doesn't know why the film was made — finds, or rather injects, a political agenda:
"United 93" is a sober reminder of the breakdown in leadership on the morning of Sept. 11. Unlike Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11," the film doesn't get into the whereabouts of the president that day, or why Osama bin Laden ordered the attack; its focus is purposely narrow. But that narrow focus, along with the lack of fully realized characters, and the absence of any historical or political context, raises the question of why, notwithstanding the usual (if shaky) commercial imperative, this particular movie was made. To jolt us out of complacency? Remind us of those who died? Unite us, as even the film's title seems to urge? Entertain us?
To be honest, I haven't a clue. I didn't need a studio movie to remind me of the humanity of the thousands who were murdered that day or the thousands who have died in the wars waged in their name.
No, I don't think it is a "sober reminder of the breakdown in leadership." I think it is quite clearly a sobering reminder of a crime perpetrated against thousands of innocent people by deluded fanatics.
And so perhaps we do need that reminder.
As I went into the theater to buy my ticket, I heard two young women talking about what to see.
"United 93," said one, "that's the one about the terrorists who take over the jet."
Her friend replies, "You know I don't like action pictures."
"It's not really scary," says the first.
It's just another thriller to them, about a story apparently forgotten.
Yes, perhaps we need to be reminded of the anger and the hate. We need to be reminded to be scared.


We often call America the melting pot of the world, and that's been true since its birth. However, it's not just the presence of different ethnicities within a single place but also within a single person. Today's featured fashion individual is Sarah, who is of Colombian, Puerto Rican, and Palestinian descent. Having such a diverse background also means she inherits the cultural values of both her mother and father. She grew up in North Jersey, just across the river from Manhattan. In a place like that, Sarah felt at home because the area was filled with all different nationalities and beliefs. Sarah mentions that it was easy to click with other kids in the community and finding someone to play with was never a challenge. It was truly diverse and an example of the modern day American society.
Then, Sarah's family moved from their apartment across from New York to a home in Central Jersey, not too far from the shore. She was fairly young at that point, and at the age of seven, it was a difficult adjustment. She not only had to move to a place where she knew nobody, but also where she was unsure of how to tackle explaining her cultural identity to others. The communities in this section of Jersey were far less diverse than near the city. In turn, it was harder for Sarah to express herself. Time brings change as it always does. In the coming years, Sarah would again learn to embrace her mixed heritage. Her confidence grew and lead to the development of her great sense of style. She learned to love the fact that she gets to attend Arabic weddings and then come home to a Puerto Rican meal. Sarah is an amazing testament to today's American woman who comes from all different backgrounds and practices many different cultures.
Sarah has got on a superb fall outfit for today. It begins with a tan shirt dress that's tied around the waist. This was originally a menswear inspired piece that many ladies, such as Sarah, rock exceptionally well. The fabric is lightweight, which is fitting for the rather warm October weather. She's also wearing some jean leggings, a simple yet great choice to go with her top. Finally, Sarah has on a pair of black, suede sandals with block heels. Along with a nice tote bag, Sarah's outfit is ready to take on the fall, no doubt.

One of Interxion's fastest-growing locations, it has strength in the digital media and cloud communities, and also in systems integrators," said David Ruberg, Interxion's Chief Executive Officer.

"We are expanding VIE2 to meet this customer demand."
The capital expenditure associated with the two expansion phases of VIE2 is expected to be approximately €17 million.

This project will let you make a switch that will be activated by light falling on a sensor. It is a very useful device and can be used in automatism's, security systems, counters, remote controls etc. It is very sensitive, fast acting and reliable. The circuit uses a Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) as a sensor and three transistors to amplify the signals from the LDR and drive the relay which does the switching.
output from TR2 drives TR1 and this in turn TR3 which drives the output relay. The diode D1 protects the transistor from the back emf that is produced from the relay coil when it is turned off. The trimmer R7 adjusts the sensitivity of the circuit so it is possible to use it under widely different conditions. The circuit operates from a 9-12 VDC power supply and the relay contacts are rated at 250 V/2 A.

dry joint and you should remove the solder (with a pump, or a solder wick) and redo it. Take care not to overheat the tracks as it is very easy to lift them from the board and break them. When you are soldering a sensitive component it is good practice to hold the lead from the component side of the board with a pair of long-nose pliers to divert any heat that could possibly damage the component.
Make sure that you do not use more solder than it is necessary as you are running the risk of short-circuiting adjacent tracks on the board, especially if they are very close together.
After finishing your work cut off the excess of the component leads and clean the board thoroughly with a suitable solvent to remove all flux residues that still remain on it. You shouldn't face any special problems with this project. The only unusual component is the LDR and you should decide where you want to put your project and how you are going to activate it as it will be necessary to leave a hole in the case for the sensor and possibly orientated the whole case towards the light beam. As usual start building the circuit with the resistors leaving the LDR for the final stage. Mount the relay on the board and solder the transistors and the diode in their places making sure that nothing went in the wrong place or the wrong way round. When everything is in its place solder the LDR carefully, as it is very fragile and can be easily damaged if overheated. Make the last visual check and if you are satisfied that all is well you can connect the circuit to a power supply or a battery of at least 9 VDC. Cover the sensitive surface of the LDR and turn the trimmer till you hear the relay clicking. If you uncover the sensor the relay should click again. You will probably have to read just the trimmer once the circuit is cased and you are ready to use it in some application, in order to fine-tune it to the conditions that you want it to operate in.
Check the power supply to make sure there are at least 9 VDC across the circuit, and that the polarity is correct. Make sure the transistors and the diode are connected the right way round. Check your work for possible dry joints, bridges across adjacent tracks or soldering flux residues that usually cause problems.

Family on My Mind. Love you, Dad.
Bulldog Ben	in Family	 July 12, 2018 May 6, 2020 563 Words
Cancer is a terrible disease. Today is the day my Dad, Joe Basile, would be turning 95 if cancer had not struck him down in 2007.
As all sons do, I think about Dad a lot. He's always on my mind especially when July rolls around each year and I think of how old he is. Or would be.
This year is no exception. So as a tribute to him, I'm posting his obituary which I lovingly composed when our family was making our preparations.
Dad was a good man. A very good man.
BASILE, JOSEPH NINO, age 84 of Orlando, passed on to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Sunday evening, Sept 9, 2007 after a 2 1/2 year battle with lung and brain cancer.
Mr. Basile was born in the Bronx, New York on July 12, 1923 and served in the U.S. Army Air Corps and U.S. Air Force for 22 years. He saw duty with the first wave of Allied occupation troops in Japan, something which he often described as a life-changing experience. His state-side duty stations included Korean and Viet Nam era service at Travis A.F.B. California, Biggs A.F.B. El Paso, Patrick A.F.B. Florida, Otis A.F.B. Cape Cod, and finally McCoy A.F.B. Orlando where he served from 1961 until retirement in 1968 as a MSGT.
While stationed in Denver in 1949, Joe met the love of his life, the former Lois Marie Workman; she served him lunch at the Walgreens and stole his heart. They were married in December of '49 and shared life and love for more than 57 years.
Following his active duty days, Mr. Basile carried the mail for 19 years, most of that at Dixie Village in South Orlando. His column "Dixie Village Blues" ran regularly in the NALC newsletter; its humor, satire and oblique references to current events at the Branch made it a hit with his fellow letter carriers. Joe was known in the community as an avid bowler, a coin collector and an excellent cook.
Most of all, he was a very active and devoted member of Blessed Trinity CC in Orlando serving as an usher for close to 40 years. He was active in the Karios Movement as well and worked tirelessly in Prison Ministry at Orange County, Lake County and Volusia County jails for many years.
Mr. Basile was preceded in death by his parents, Santo and Maria Basile, brother Frank Basile, sisters Gaetana and Marion as well as his son Michael Lee Basile. He is survived by his loving wife Lois, sister Corrine Fetonti of New Rochelle, NY, sons Benjamin Lawrence and John Joseph of Orlando, nine grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
Joe was loved by many, especially his extended family and his fellow parishioners. His gentle spirit, great sense of humor and tireless service to his family and church will long be remembered.
There will be a viewing at Blessed Trinity Catholic Church, 4545 East Anderson Road, Orlando, from 6:30-8:30PM, Thursday, Sept. 13th. Mass of Christian Burial at Blessed Trinity at 10:30AM on Friday, Sept. 14th with Fr. Roland Nadeau officiating. Burial will follow at All Faiths Cemetery in Casselberry.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that a donation be made in his name to the MD Anderson Cancer Center Orlando (407-648-3800) or to the Hospice of the Comforter (407-682-0808).

Ben, did your father say how Japan changed his life?
Bulldog Ben says:
Yes, Phil. The first thing was just seeing the devastation in Hiroshima. They flew close to the city and he told us it seemed as though it had, quite literally, been wiped off the face of the earth.
The other thing that had a lasting effect on him was simply being a part of an occupation force. His duty consisted of helping to staff what essentially were soup kitchens.
He told me he would always remember how grateful the Japanese were to the GI's even though many of them had lost so much in the war.


If you have never been inside a corn maze, imagine entering a twisting, winding dirt-paved series of paths cutting through a giant field of corn stalks. Should you go left, right, or straight ahead? Remember, only the right decision will get you out of the maze. Now, try navigating through the maze at night time amid sounds of rustling cornstalks and shadows along the path. Spooky, right? Check out our roundup of flashlight corn mazes throughout the state for some spooktacular fun. And, for more autumnal adventures, check out our Fall and Halloween guides.
When you live in New England, you tend to get really excited about all of the fall things. From country fairs to cider donuts, pumpkin patches to corn mazes—fall is our very favorite. Which brings me to the season's main event: leaf peeping. This fall, why not try riding as a passenger a New England's vintage railroad, and really wrap yourself up in autumn's patchwork quilt of colors. For the ultimate leaf-peeping experience (with heaping slice of nostalgia) climb aboard a railcar at the Railroad Museum of New England tucked in the upper Naugatuck Valley. For more seasonal fun, check out our guide to Fall activities and subscribe to our newsletter for even more ideas delivered straight to your inbox.
If your preschooler constantly refers to his biceps as "super gecko muscles," or insists on running everywhere on "super cat speed," then he might totally flip over the new children's stage show that just opened.
PJ Masks Live: Time to be a Hero, the first live stage show for the popular animated Disney Junior series, kicked off its 60-plus North American city tour this September, and now your kid has the chance to see the dynamic pajama-wearing superhero trio in person. Upcoming shows include visits to Boston, New York City, and Texas.
I brought my 3-year-old and 6-year-old kids to the opening show in Connecticut, and both were equally entertained by this live-action rendition of their TV show. It's packed with familiar and original music, acrobatics, and interaction. So activate your animal amulets, and put on those pajamas, because here comes our parent review of this cool new show.
Ever use a four-foot slingshot to launch a pumpkin at a target? No? How about dive head first into a pit of corn? Well, let us point you in the direction of Benedict's Home and Garden in Monroe. And, while we're talking Fairfield County pumpkins and corn pits, check out our fall fun guide and subscribe our newsletter so you won't miss corn maze, apple orchard, or harvest festival this season.
Fairfield County's most anticipated autumnal attraction is, without question, a visit to Silverman's Farm. This little slice of pastoral paradise has served as a family destination in Easton along Route 59 for 95 years. Particularly during fall.
The back-to-school section has been out for weeks at Target, end-of-summer sales are in full swing and summer packets have been mailed. But rest assured, it may be nearing the last few weeks of freedom but there is still plenty of summer left. Here are our picks for 25 things to do with your kiddos in Fairfield County before summer is over.

Don't let malware get hold of your chips!
There have been some successful patching of both Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities, but they did come at a computing price. In some situations, the performance of the underlying hardware was degraded. The patches were also not simple to distribute, requiring multiple companies to be coordinated to get the patches out. What this showed was the complexity of the CPU and the design decisions made to increase the efficiency of the processors could be turned into avenues of attack. While these two attacks are not new, another similar vulnerability has been recently disclosed. This time it targeted one of the most important secrets to keep confidential: the private encrypting key.
The attack called TLBleed allows for the stealing of cryptographic keys from Translation Lookside Buffer (TLB). The role of the TLB is to assist hyper-threaded processors in serving the memory requirements of two threads running simultaneously. By observing the TLB to refresh for the second thread, along with an understanding of the underlying cryptographic function and some machine analysis, you can recreate the private key with 98% accuracy. For TLBleed, the only real mitigation is turn-off hyperthreading, which would adversely affect the performance of the CPU. OpenBSD has already stated their intention to turn off hyperthreading in their O/S.
The worst part of any of these attacks is not being able to detect the attack in progress or see any artifacts of the attacks after. This leaves modern-day antivirus and malware detection unable to protect against the threat. Further, there is no doubt that, given enough time, money and effort, additional attacks against our underlying technology stack will continue.
For any of these attacks to be effective, the attacker first has to gain a foothold on the machine itself.3 This will require some sort of malware to be introduced to the machine. Often the malware goes undetected until it is activated. The activation is when most malware is detected.
It is now generally recognized that not all attacks can be stopped or detected immediately. What is now more important is applying risk mitigation—that is, identify the most important assets and watch them more closely. By focusing resources where the greatest risk lies, the threats targeting those resources could be detected sooner.
Interset not only provides the ability to find threats sooner or as they are developing, but also to focus security analytics where the most important assets are. These assets could be VIPs, servers hosting intellectual property, or the administrative accounts in your organization. Knowing the risks and understanding that even today with best efforts we are still vulnerable is the first step to becoming a more secure organization. Using technology that assists in mitigating those risks is the right approach, especially when the chips are stacked against you.
1. The threats of Spectre and Meltdown can also be found in some chipsets from ARM. These are not discussed as the focus is on enterprise computing.
2. These two attacks are side-channel attacks. More detail on what a side-channel attack is can be found here.
3. While cloud workloads are susceptible to meltdown attacks on unpatched systems, these are not discussed. In general, most cloud service providers are now patched against this.

News at 241 Pizza
Celebrate the End of Winter with 241 Pizza!
241 Pizza is a deeply Canadian company. We opened our first restaurant in Toronto in 1986 and now offer pizza delivery and walk-in specials to customers in Ontario, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Newfoundland and Labrador. There's a lot that divides Canadians these days: geography, politics, pineapple on pizzas, hockey teams. But one thing all Canadians share is the feeling of deep relief and excitement as the weather warms, gardens bloom, and yet another long colder winter makes way for the spring. Mid-April to early June is a time for celebration in Canada, and 241 Pizza is here to help.
Embrace the Outdoors!
Ordering pizza is not an exclusively 'indoors' activity! Warm weather is short-lived in Canada, so it's important to make the most of it while it's here. On the next beautiful day in your city, don't spend time grocery shopping and preparing a meal. Call up some friends, tell them you're ordering 241, and enjoy your pizza on the back deck, in the side yard, on the front stoop, or wherever you like to enjoy pleasant evenings. You can even bring it to the local park! Another great way to enjoy the weather while ordering pizza is to take advantage of our walk-in deals. Stroll over to your nearest 241 Pizza location to see what's on the menu. You'll get some exercise, spend some time outside, and still arrive home with a couple fresh and delicious menu items.
Speaking of menu items, we've debuted a new one just in time for spring. Allow us to introduce the NEW Bacon Cheddar Garlic Loaf. Consider this the extra-flavourful cousin to our already-beloved Deep Garlic Loaf. The Bacon Cheddar Garlic Loaf is a classic Detroit-style garlic loaf topped with bacon crumble, pizza mozzarella, and our three-cheese cheddar blend. It's exactly what it sounds like: a decadent and delicious addition to our already stacked menu of sides and dipping sauces. Order one now to start your spring off with a bang! For the uninitiated, our sides and dipping sauce menu also includes a wide selection of fries, wedges, pizza knots, breadsticks, garlicky breads, and every sauce a person could need.
Think Outside the (Pizza) Box
Yearning for a change of pace after a pizza-filled winter? 241's got you covered. Visit our Menu page to check out the wide variety of foods and snacks we proudly serve, including chicken wings, halal wings, breaded wings, and chicken chunks; Caesar and garden salads, which are especially refreshing in the spring and summer; a variety of desserts including apple pie, donuts, brownies, and sweet pizza knots; and a wide selection of pops, juices, energy drinks and waters to keep you hydrated as the temperatures rise. Or, you could try some new toppings on your pizza! If you're generally a "meats only" pizza lover, consider trying our veggie sensation or Hawaiian; if you're looking for something new and exciting, consider our jalapeno Hawaiian, classic Greek, or Basil Pesto. It's time to celebrate the return of warm weather in Canada, and 241 Pizza is here to help in any way we can, from online deliveries to walk-in specials.
Does Pineapple Belong on Pizza?
Pizza is not a controversial subject. It's beloved around the world by foodies of every tribe, from the health-conscious to the proudly gluttonous. Whether you cook your pizza at home, frequent a local pizzeria, or order pizza online, the Italian flatbread dish is family favourite from Toronto to Tokyo.
So, it might surprise you that pizza, or more specifically a single pizza topping, pushed two of the world's least combative countries to the brink of an international conflict in 2017. That's right: Canada and Iceland nearly came to blows over one of the few divisive subjects in the pizza universe: Hawaiian pizza.
Okay, 'came to blows' may be an exaggeration. Neither nation was scrambling fighter jets or sounding air raid alarms. But both heads of state, Iceland's President Guoni Johannesson and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, became embroiled in an expansive debate that spanned geographic and political divides.
The trouble started when President Johannesson told a group of students that he was fundamentally opposed to pineapple on pizza and would ban it as a topping, if only he had the power, the CBC reported. The statement was bound to rub Canadians the wrong way. Hawaiian pizza, which features pineapple and ham or bacon (or both), was created by London, Ontario-area pizzeria owner Sam Panopoulos in 1962 and has been embraced by pizza-lovers everywhere. It's one of our proudest exports, meaning Prime Minister Trudeau had no choice but to fire back on Twitter.
"I have pineapple. I have pizza. And I stand behind this delicious Southwestern Ontario creation. #TeamPineapple," Trudeau wrote. A stirring rebuttal.
The Icelandic President eventually responded to the controversy he had unwittingly sparked, explaining that he likes pineapples on their own but not on pizza. He also clarified that he's glad not to live in a country where heads of state can forbid foods based on personal preference.
Despite the President's calming words, it was soon clear that the pineapple debate had grown larger than him or his Canadian counterpart.
The Debate Unfurls
With Trudeau and Johannesson having made their positions clear, it was up to pollsters and the American media to determine who was in the right. According to an Abacus Data survey from last year, Canadians tend to side with their Prime Minister: three quarters of respondents answered "No" to the question "Is pineapple on pizza blasphemy?"
Other data suggests Canada is an outlier in its acceptance of pineapple on pizza. A YouGov survey of British consumers found just 53 per cent enjoyed the tangy topping, while 54 per cent of Americans actively dislike it, according to a survey conducted by delivery app Slice.
Celebrities Chime In
It wasn't long before Trudeau and Johannesson's feud seeped into the pop culture water supply. Soon, late night hosts and tabloid shows were delving into celebrity's pineapple preferences with hopes of establishing a consensus. Ontarians Drake and Justin Bieber did their province proud by confirming their love for pineapple on pizza. Fellow A-listers Jeff Goldblum, Jon Hamm (of course), Dwayne The Rock Johnson, Ronda Rousey, Paris Hilton, and Jamie Foxx also went on the record backing Hawaiian pizza toppings.
But the pro-pineapple sentiment wasn't unanimous. Late night host Jimmy Kimmel vociferously declared "Pineapples do not belong on pizza." Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay even more vociferously declared "You don't put [expletive] pineapple on pizza." And heartthrob/funnyman Justin Theroux also expressed his aversion to the topping.
Ultimately, there's no right or wrong way to dress your pizza. The data, celebrity musings, and political posturing compiled in this article suggest slightly more people are pro-pineapple than against it. 241 Pizza, for what it's worth, is firmly in the 'pro' camp – we dare you to try our famous Hawaiian and disagree.
When push comes to shove, though, every person's pizza preferences are legitimate. That's why 241 Pizza offers a wide selection of toppings, sides, deserts and drinks. Hawaiian pizza lovers and haters shouldn't be ostracized for their beliefs. They should converse, compromise, and find common ground over a neutral flavour. Order 241 Pizza today by phone or online to start the reconciliation process.
Pizza Day at Your School
Scattered throughout the school year are a number of vitally important days for kids that are often ignored by the rest of society. End-of-year tests are a good example, as are PA days, sporting events like track meets, and kid-centric holidays like Halloween, which in elementary schools feel like a cross between Mardi Gras and a state of emergency.
Then, of course, there is the Pizza Day. Many of us can remember Pizza Days from our own childhoods and the excitement around them has not subsided. From pre-ordering to delivery, Pizza Days are hotly anticipated events at Canadian elementary schools.
241 Pizza is proud to provide hot pizza lunches to schools everywhere in our service area. In fact, just like the students we serve, school Pizza Days are among our favourite days of the year. Here's why you should call 241 Pizza to arrange the next Pizza Day at your school.
A Trusted Member of Your Community
241 Pizza was launched in Toronto in 1986 and has been serving school Pizza Day lunches ever since. During that time, we've come to understand that students need high-quality food and school administrators require flexibility, affordability and great customer service. We're proud to deliver all of the above.
If you're interested in organizing a pizza lunch for your school, contact the manager of your nearest 241 Pizza location; we have over 60 storefronts across Ontario, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador.
In Ontario, 241 Pizza is proud to comply with the Ministry of Education's School Food and Beverage Policy, which stipulates that our menu meets nutritional standards, is reviewed by a registered dietician, and contains Ontario-grown and -produced foods when possible.
What Will Pizza Day Cost?
The cost of your 241 Pizza lunch depends on the specifics of your order. However, our managers will do everything they can to provide reasonable, affordable pricing. Bulk orders from 241 Pizza come with no delivery charges and free box pick-up; we also do not require pre-payment for your order.
The price of our 241 Pizza lunches will be negotiated at the start of the school year and will remain unchanged throughout.
Pizza Day Choices
241 Pizza's full menu includes a range of choices, but our Pizza Day menu is slightly more restrictive. It includes cheese only, cheese and pepperoni, and cheese and veggie pizzas in either large or extra-large sizes. Our large pizzas are 14 inches in diameter and cut to 8 or 10 slices; our extra-larges are 16 inches in diameter and cut to 8 or 10 slices.
Most pizza contains wheat flour dough; our 241 Pizza sauce containing crushed tomatoes, water, salt, garlic and spices; 241 Pizza mozzarella cheese; and 241 Pizza dried cured pepperoni. However, we also offer a variety of alternatives for customers with dietary needs, including gluten free crusts (medium size only); vegan-friendly pizza; and halal toppings.
241 Pizza Delivery
While 241 Pizza takes great pride in providing Pizza Day lunches to schools around Canada, our forte is delivering hot, delicious food directly to your doors. If you're in the mood for pizza delivery, wings, salads, or anything else on our menu, call 241 Pizza or order online right now.
Celebrate National Pizza Day with 241 Pizza!
February 9th is National Pizza Day, an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the popularity of pizza in North America. National Pizza Day is one of two pizza-centric events on the calendar. The other, National Pizza Month, has occurred every October since 1984 when it was created by Gerry Durnell, then-publisher of Pizza Today magazine.
The origins of National Pizza Day are less well-known. It is unclear who started the event or when it was first observed. What is clear is that North Americans absolutely love pizza. Here are a few stats that demonstrate our commitment to the famous Italian flatbread dish.
According to a 2017 survey by California Pizza Kitchen, if Americans were forced to eat only one food for the rest of their lives, 20 percent would choose pizza. It was the runaway top choice. Roughly three-billion pizzas are sold every year in the United States, and Americans consume an average of 23 pounds of pizza annually.
Canadians are equally enamoured. A 2012 survey by Leger Marketing found that 88 per cent of Canadians enjoy quick-serve pick-up or delivery pizza from time to time, and that 33 per cent consider it their favourite quick-serve food item. Hamburgers (25 percent) and subs or sandwiches (20 percent) came in second and third.
The Leger Marketing survey also provides insights on how Canadians like to eat their pizza. For instance, the vast majority (91 per cent) prefer to enjoy it in the company of friends and family rather than alone. The survey also found that chicken wings are the preferred side order in Ontario, while bread and bread sticks dominate on the east coast and French fries reign supreme in Quebec.
In 2018, Canadian Pizza magazine asked pizzeria operators some revealing questions regarding their customers' pizza preferences. The survey confirmed that wings are the top menu item aside from pizza, followed by salads, pastas, and sandwiches. As for favourite toppings, pepperoni lead the way ahead of bacon, mushrooms and ham. Deserts and garlic bread are the items most likely to be added to pizzeria menus.
241 Pizza has everything you need to celebrate National Pizza Day. Our extensive pizza selection includes classics like pepperoni, deluxe, Canadian, veggie and Hawaiian, and speciality pizzas like classic Greek, basil pesto, bacon cheeseburger and chicken club. We also serve savoury, deep-dish Detroit style pizzas for when you're extra hungry.
Besides our range of pizzas, 241 offers a variety of appetizers and sides, including chicken wings, chicken chunks, fries, poutine, breadsticks, garlic bread, dipping sauces, salads, drinks, deserts and more. In other words, if you have National Pizza Day circled on your calendar, 241 Pizza is the place to be.
241 Pizza has been serving Canadians delicious, high-quality food for more than 30 years. With 60 locations across Ontario, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Newfoundland, 241 Pizza is your best choice for celebrating National Pizza Day on February 9th. Order pizza online at 241Pizza.com or through our mobile app or go the old-fashioned route by calling your local 241 Pizza location.
Your Guide to the Ultimate Pizza Party
Getting together with friends can be challenging during the winter. On the rare occasion that roads are clear and snow isn't falling, the bitter winds and early sunsets make leaving the house seem like an ordeal. Why visit friends when you can curl up with your favourite streaming service and order online pizza delivery?
Of course, hibernation simply isn't an option for the more socially-minded among us. If you love spending time with friends and family, you may be forced to lure your acquaintances out of hiding – and the best way to that, in our estimation, is to throw a once in a lifetime, too good to be missed pizza party!
Pizza Party Basics
Let's get this out of the way, for those of you who are uninitiated: a pizza party is a social gathering at which pizza is served. (Shout out to Wikipedia for the exhaustive definition).
Pizza parties can take several forms, such as:
The DIY Pizza Party: a gathering wherein attendees build and bake their own pizzas. A good idea at its core, but one which loses points because it asks guests to become chefs. Why not leave the high-stakes game of pizza baking to the pros?
The Office Pizza Party: a nice way to get to know your coworkers, but a format marred by time restrictions and often-limited selection. Most companies are in the business of making money, not treating their employees, so don't expect any specialty toppings. Plus, it's always difficult to enjoy yourself with the boss nearby.
The School Pizza Lunch: the undisputed highlight of any student's year and a nice break for parents accustomed to packing lunches.
The All-for-One Pizza Party: wherein a single person throws caution to the wind and orders a party pizza for him or herself. Absolutely no judgement on our end, we've all been there and enjoyed ourselves.
The Tried, Tested, and True Classic Pizza Party: quite possibly the best of the bunch (although the all-for-one is alluring), the classic pizza party involves ordering a variety of pizzas, side dishes, drinks, and desserts to share with family and friends. Highly recommended for all pizza lovers, from pizza party newbies to grizzled veterans.
Reasons to Throw a Pizza Party
It's winter time, but there's still plenty to celebrate over the next three (or four, or five…) months. Office parties, for instance, are a staple of the season, as are school pizza lunches. By ordering a wide variety of toppings you can make sure that every taste is met, all dietary restrictions are considered, and nobody goes home hungry.
New Year's Eve is the biggest party night of the year, so why not bring together friends for an especially raucous pizza party. Champagne and ballrooms have their charms, but if you want to avoid paying a premium to stand in line in sub-zero temperatures, celebrate with a tightknit group of besties and a few of your favourite pizza flavours.
Or, if you simply can't resist the temptation of New Year's Eve on the town, invite friends over for some therapeutic pizza the next day. A fresh, delicious slice or two is sure to take the edge off that mysterious headache you're carrying around…
Major Television Events
Notable television events are a staple of the new year: the Golden Globes kick off awards season in January, followed by the Grammy Awards and Academy Awards in February. Bachelor Nation is also keenly aware that a new season gets underway in the first weeks of the year.
Each of these events present an opportunity to have friends over for some drinks, bracketology, and a selection of fresh, delicious delivery pizza. Choose themed toppings and institute a dress code for a particularly celebratory vibe.
Sports!
Pizza is the quintessential companion for big games, and the New Year is full of them. In January, cheer on Canada's boys at the World Junior Ice Hockey Championship as they take on the next generation of NHL superstars on home turf.
A little later in the month, pretend you're somewhere warmer and invite friends over to watch Roger Federer compete for his third straight Australian Open title from balmy Melbourne.
The NFL Pro Bowl, NHL All-Star game, and NBA All-Star game all take place early in the year, as does North America's most-anticipated sporting event, the Super Bowl, which kicks of February 3. These are all prime opportunities to bring friends together for a pizza party and a few cold beverages.
Life and Career Milestones
There's always an excuse for a pizza party: birthdays, graduations, report cards, promotions, or any event you'd like to celebrate with loved ones will do just fine.
Keys to a Great Pizza Party
Once you've decided on a date for your delivery pizza party, it's time to focus on what really matters: the food.
Not only should your party pizza be fresh and tasty, it should also be affordable, convenient, and come in a wide variety of flavours. 241 Pizza offers enough choices to satisfy every guest, from classic options like veggie, Hawaiian, and deluxe to more experimental flavours like classic Greek and chicken club.

Евкаліпт королівський (Eucalyptus regnans) — вид квіткових рослин родини миртові (Myrtaceae). Вважається найвищою квітковою рослиною на нашій планеті.

Дерева цього виду досягають висоти сто і більше метрів. Були описані дерева висотою і в сто п'ятдесят метрів, але достовірних відомостей про це немає.

Поширення
Ареал евкаліпта королівського — Південно-Східна Австралія і Тасманія. В горах дерева можуть зустрічатися до висоти 1000 м над рівнем моря .

Евкаліпт королівський гірше, ніж інші види евкаліптів, переносить пожежі, особливо це стосується молодих дерев. Саме з цієї причини вид ширше поширений на Тасманії: тут випадає до 1200 мм опадів, тому лісові пожежі бувають рідше.

Опис
Росте, як всі евкаліпти, швидко, живе близько 400 років. Стовбур в основі може бути до 15 м в діаметрі.

Листя синювато-зелене, дуже пахуче, 10-14 см завдовжки і близько 3 см шириною, повернене ребром до Сонця, тому в евкаліптовому лісі практично немає тіні. Квітки діаметром близько 1 см зібрані в суцвіття в 10-15 штук. Плід — до 9 мм в довжину і до 7 мм в ширину.

Використання
Деревина цього виду має середню щільність, грубу текстуру, але легко обробляється, при цьому добре протистоїть гниттю. У 1920-х роках королівські евкаліпти використовувалися в основному при виробництві паперу, в теперішній же час дуже широко використовується при виготовленні меблів, підлог і фанери. У медичних цілях також застосовуються настойки евкаліпта.

Цікаві факти
Найвищий евкаліпт під прізвиськом Сотник має 99.8 метрів висоти.

Крушевски рид е моноклинален нископланински рид във вътрешната структурна ивица на Средния Предбалкан, области Габрово и Велико Търново, разположен между долините на река Росица и десният ѝ приток Негованка, източно продължение на Севлиевските височини.

Нископланинският Крушевски рид представлява източната част на Севлиевските височини и се издига между пролома на река Росица на запад и северозапад и долината на река Негованка на изток, която го отделя от рида Стените. На юг със стръмни, на места отвесни склонове се спуска към Севлиевското поле, а на североизток в района на село Горско Калугерово се свързва с платото Плужна.

Дължината на рида от запад на изток е 22 – 23 км, а ширината му – 5 – 7 км. Най-високата точка е връх Гюнето (582,9 м), разположен в южната му част, на около 2 км източно от село Крушево. Крушевският рид представлява моноклинала, остатък от северното бедро на разрушената Севлиевска антиклинала. Изграден е от долнокредни варовици и мергелни пластове, наклонени на север. Почвите са сиви горски и тъмносиви горски. Частично са запазени дъбови гори. Южният склон на рида, под скалистите венци е зает от лозови насаждения и вилни зони.

Във вътрешността на рида са разположени селата Крушево и Младен, а по североизточните му склонове – Горско Калугерово и Добромирка.

Покрай цялото южно подножие на рида, на протежение от 18 км преминава участък от първокласен път № 4 от Държавната пътна мрежа Ябланица – Велико Търново – Шумен, а източната му част, на протежение от 7,4 км се пресича от участък от третокласен път № 405 Добромирка – Павликени – Свищов.

Северозападните склонове на рида, които потъват във водите на язовир "Александър Стамболийски" предлагат идеални условия за туризъм, отмора и риболов. Там е изградена и почивна база за летуване, отстояща на 5,3 км от село Младен.

The mission of the Department of Art, Art History & Design is to provide students with intellectually informed, hands-on instructions in creative studies within the context of a liberal arts university. A full-time faculty of practicing artists, designers and historians foster a stimulating learning environment where the unique talents and perspectives of individual students can emerge and flourish.
Throughout history, one of the shared features of great civilizations and cultures has been the creative and critical influence of their art and design. One of the inherent values of visual art is that by giving tangible form to the social, political and private aspects of human existence, it makes visible the invisible; it provokes the expansion of intellectual boundaries, gives form to complex ideas, reveals deep but abstract emotions and extends our capacity to comprehend the lives of others. Each of the programs in our department offers a distinct means of confronting and understanding the important visual aspects of wider engagement with and construction of the world.

Congresswoman Maxine Waters Disrespected By White Guy On Fox Show
On Tuesday's episode of Fox and Friends, Bill O'Reilly suggested he couldn't take Congresswoman Maxine Waters seriously because of her "James Brown wig."
Stephanie Long
WOL Featured Video
On a recent episode of Fox and Friends, Bill O'Reilly suggested he couldn't take Congresswoman Maxine Waters seriously because of her "James Brown wig."
The frivolous remark came just after O'Reilly was shown a video clip of Waters' recent comments on Trump supporters.
"We have suffered discrimination," Waters said of Black Americans. "We have suffered isolation and undermining, but we stand up for America. . .When we fight against this president and we point out how dangerous that he is for this society and for this country, we're fighting for the democracy. We're fighting for America. We're saying to those who say they're patriotic that they turned a blind eye to the destruction that he's about to cause this country. You are not nearly as patriotic as we are."
As the clip played, O'Reilly could be seen mocking Waters on split-screen. When asked to comment on her statement, his response was, "I didn't hear a word she said. I was looking at the James Brown wig."
Co-host Ainsley Earhardt chimed in. "I have to defend her on that," she said to O'Reilly. "You can't go after a woman's looks. I think she's very attractive."
"I didn't say she wasn't attractive," O'Reilly responded, later stating, "She's a sincere individual . . . I love you, Maxine. I wanna see you on 'The Factor,' and when hell freezes over, I'm sure that'll happen."
This isn't a first for Fox and Friends. Previously, Fox host Eric Bolling told Waters to "step away from the crack pipe," only to later claim that he was "kidding." The remark came after Waters referred to GOP House Leaders as "demons."
"Congresswoman, you saw what happened to Whitney Houston," Bolling said on the show. "Step away from the crack pipe, step away from the Xanax, step away from the Lorazepam because it's going to get you in trouble."

Much of the talk of gambling expansion in the United States – be it online or brick-and-mortar – in the last couple years has revolved around the Mid-Atlantic States, states like Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Maryland. As you move further south, gambling prevalence goes down. Virginia, the state immediately south of the ones mentioned, for example, barely has any legalized gambling. There is the ubiquitous lottery, but that's really it. State Senator Louise Lucas would like to change that, though, having recently introduced a bill to legalize poker in the Commonwealth.
As the above paragraph is worded, there could actually be some room for interpretation as to whether or not poker would be considered illegal gambling. The phrase "dependent upon the result of any game, contest or any other event the outcome of which is uncertain or a matter of chance" could mean that poker is illegal because, as we well know, chance is most certainly involved. At the same time, however, one could interpret it to mean that poker is kosher in Virginia, as it doesn't say "outcome of which is at least partially uncertain or a matter of chance." It could be seen as an all or nothing.
Unfortunately, courts have been using the former interpretation, hence the need for Lucas' bill. For instance, in 2010, a Portsmouth, Virginia judge ruled against a defendant who filed a lawsuit when the Portsmouth Commonwealth's Attorney closed his poker halls which raised money for charity. Naturally, the judge cited the "outcome which is uncertain" part of the law and the defendant was unable to reopen his poker halls. The defendant appealed to the state's Supreme Court, which decided not to rule on the skill question.
Sen. Lucas has been trying to get the state legislature to authorize a casino gambling industry for a number of years. In November, she and state Senator Scott Surovell wrote an op-ed for the Richmond Times-Dispatch explaining how beneficial legalizing gambling beyond the state lottery would be for the Commonwealth. A major impetus for the timing of the piece was the opening of the MGM National Harbor casino in December, just a few minutes from northern Virginia and Washington, D.C.
They went on to present numbers showing how significant gambling could be for the state in terms of revenue and jobs, even bringing up fantasy sports as an option.
"While we could choose to continue helping Maryland, West Virginia and New Jersey's taxpayers, we could also choose to start diversifying our revenue sources and keeping our money, tax revenue, and jobs right here in Virginia," they concluded.
Speaking of lottery and gambling expansion, a bill which would have allowed for internet lottery ticket sales in Virginia was defeated this week by a House Committee on General Laws subcommittee. A coalition of convenience store owners rallied hard against the bill and their argument sounded fairly reasonable.
The thing is, in the states where internet lottery sales are allowed – Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, and Michigan – this cannibalization doesn't happen. Online lottery players tend to be younger, the types of people who weren't frequent lottery ticket buyers in the past.
The lottery tried to negotiate daily game exclusivity for brick-and-mortar stores (as opposed to Powerball and Mega Millions, which are drawn twice per week), but there were no takers on that deal.

Charles Jackson's The Lost Weekend is a famous title from the 40s; Billy Wilder made into a good film starring Ray Milland. But both will seem dated in some respects.
The classic alcoholic novel, for my money, is Under the Volcano by Malcolm Lowry, though it's not a crime novel. It's a great Joycean feast, the last day in the life of an English (ex-)consul in Mexico on the Day of the Dead, late 1930s.
Believe there are a few studies of alcoholism in literature too, but no titles come to mind except Linda Leonard's Witness to the Fire, which is about the larger subject of addiction & creativity.
