This Cherry Tomato Spinach Salad recipe is crisp, refreshing and so simple to make. It is also a very easy way to incorporate more vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants into your diet.
You are going to love this tasty, superfood salad because it uses simple ingredients and takes only 10 minutes to prepare. It is the perfect side salad to accompany a soup and sandwich for a filling lunch or dinner.
This salad is also a great dish for entertaining or bringing along to a potluck, because it is bright, colorful and looks super appetizing.
Fresh Spinach is only 7 calories per cup and is an excellent source of Vitamin K, Vitamin A and folic acid. Spinach can also protect heart health by improving the functions of nitric acid, which improves circulation, blood pressure, and blood vessel health.
Cherry tomatoes (all tomatoes actually) are rich in antioxidants and Vitamins A & C. They are the best source of lycopene, an antioxidant that is tied to enhanced immunity and cancer risk reduction. They also contain a compound called lutein, which protects eye health and preserves eyesight.
Cucumbers are fantastic to add to salads because they are very low in calories and are 96% water by weight, so they are super hydrating.
Pumpkin seeds are a terrific plant-based protein source as they contain 9 grams of protein per 1/4 cup. They are also an excellent natural source of magnesium and zinc.
Finally, my honey balsamic vinaigrette is made mostly with extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar, in a 3:1 ratio of oil to vinegar (that's the perfect ratio for salad dressings). Honey, mustard and a little S&P are added into the mix for more flavor and to help the oil and vinegar hold together.
When preparing the dressing, I always like to shake the ingredients together in a jar rather than whisking them in a bowl, because I find the vinaigrette combines much more easily that way.
If you are making this salad in advance for a party, do not add the dressing until you are ready to serve. This will keep the salad crisp and prevent it from becoming soggy.
Glass Mixing Bowls – This set is perfect for mixing up and serving salads. The bowls are so easy to store (as they nest together) and they look great!
Stainless Steel Measuring Spoons – This is the best set of measuring spoons I have ever purchased. They are super durable, inexpensive and the quality can't be beat.
A quick, super healthy salad made with fresh baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and pumpkin seeds, dressed with a delicious honey balsamic vinaigrette.
In a small jar, add all dressing ingredients and close tightly with the lid. Shake vigorously until combined.
Just before serving, drizzle salad with dressing and toss until evenly coated.
To make this recipe vegan, substitute the honey with maple syrup.
I totally agree about shaking the dressing In a jar – completely makes the dressing easier and better-tasting! Happy New Year and all the best in 2018!
I so need some good leafy greens after the holiday indulging!! This looks so vibrant and fresh! Happy New Year!! Take care.
That's a pretty salad!So bright and fresh! Love the idea of making and shaking the dressing in a jar!
Thanks so much Deepika!! ♥ Hope you're having a great week!
I love homemade salad dressings and this is definitely one I need to try! Love how fresh and vibrant the salad looks! Happy January!

Q: Compile/Run C# file in Xamarin Studio on Mac Sheepishly looking for a short step-by-step guide on taking a single .cs file like:
using System

namespace Simple
{
    class Program   // declare a class
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            Console.WriteLine ("Hi there!");
        }
    }
}

and be able to compile and run it in Xamarin Studio (version 5.5.1, build 15) on the Mac (Mono SDK is already installed).  I am not interested (yet!) in anything complex like developing an app or anything, but just a way to practice learning C#.  I do know how to compile and run using Terminal, but can't seem to figure out how to compile/run a simple .cs file from XS. Thanks :) Hopefully my participation here at SO will be a bit more sophisticated in the future :)

A: I'm assuming you have created a solution and project in Xamarin Studio? There is a run button in the interface (looks like play on a remote). If you created your .cs file outside Xamarin, you'll probably have to import it into the solution by right clicking the project and clicking add files. I'm pretty sure you can also open a .cs in Xamarin without it having any solution/project attachments. Again, you should be able to hit the play button.
If you haven't got yourself a solution, fire up Xamarin to the welcome page and click new solution. You should have the option to choose C# console project (or even an empty project if you want to start from scratch) or something similar (I'm fuzzy on the details: I typically use MonoDevelop and my copy of Xamarin is buggy right now). Fill out the forms and voilà! A "hello world!" file should be there.
Hope this helps!

Former players, experts and other stakeholders have adressed the problem of match-fixing in football during the Play The Game conference, but we are yet to hear from the key part of a football match. The referee.
Peter Mikkelsen, a former international top referee named world's best referee in 1991 and 1993 and member of FIFA's referee committee, is happy that the referees aren't present.
"It's good, because it means match-fixing isn't a big problem for us," the Dane claims.
In 2005 Robert Hoyzer, a german referee, was the center of a big match-fixing scandal. But that's a quite rare situation, according to Mikkelsen.
"Of course we will act, if there's a problem. The referees are not professional as the players are and they have civilian jobs. I think, that's why we don't see referees fixing matches," says Mikkelsen.
Mikkelsen has never experienced match-fixing in the many, many games he refereed.
He does mention a situation in Portugal in a match between a local side and Tottenham Hotspur. The home team were putting Mikkelsen in situations that were ideal for a match-fixing referee.


"He's going to play," Bennett said. "Greg [Gattuso] will tell you that he's right in the mix."
As I mentioned yesterday, I didn't think there was any way Donald wouldn't play after all the praise he received from Wannstedt during training camp. Still, it was good to hear it confirmed and Bennett apparently didn't care that Wannstedt wouldn't confirm it or, less likely, didn't know. Either way, the 'secret' is out.
In other notes from Paul Zeise's awesome PG blog, Greg Romeus is back in a big way, the weakside linebacker spot has not yet been claimed, and more. Excellent read worth the look anytime he has a post.

My 1st cake smash for 2015 could not have gone any better! I always seem to develop the butterflies when I am going to a shoot that is something that I haven't done in a few months. Cake Smashes for instance....I do not get to do those nearly as much as I would love too! But when I do....oh those sweet little faces get covered in icing!!
& lastly we let them dive into cake until their little hearts are content!
This session with Little Miss Abby was actually my first Cake Smash indoors (my home mini studio) & I think this might be my new favorite location for a cake smash. Main reason was I could control everything. lol. The weather outside was not warm enough for this Little Miss to be getting messy in just a tutu so we adapted & overcame! The lighting in my home office (mini studio) was ideal & the best part for mom was she could take her little one straight to the tub afterwards where I had a towel, soap & washcloths ready!
This also happened to be the 1st Cake Smash (besides our daughters) that my husband got to watch & I think he had just as much fun as I did!
This photo on the left was happening as Little Miss was grabbing my camera and face...did I mention her hand was full of icing! Now I smell sugary sweetness every time I pick up my camera.
& I wouldn't have it any other way!
These are awesome shots! I love your setup. You did a wonderful job!!
What a cutie! I love the photo of her looking at a baby photo and the last two pictures help complete the story. Looks like fun!

Taking a nice hot bath with sea salts, essential oils, and even flowers, can definitely help to relax one's body, mind, and spirit. Life can sometimes get rather overwhelming, especially if you're not taking the proper care of your self. I've learned over the years that its incredibly important to "love the skin you're in" because its the only one you get! Self care is something that we should all be doing Everyday!
This soothing bath recipe is something that you can do for yourself or for a loved one. Its easy to create and the cost is super cheap!
Books, journal, affirmation cards, or similar..
Ok, now to put it all together..
First, run the bath, make sure it's the right temperature for you. I like to make it just a teensy bit hotter because I will be soaking in the tub for a while.
Once you've got your bath running at the right temp, start to add in the salts. I love using epsom salt, it really soothes my muscles after a long week! Add your desired amount of epsom salt and or other sea salts etc. to the bath as its starting to fill, the running water will help to dissolve some of the salt crystals before you step in. If you still have them from last week, go ahead and add a few of those rose petals into your bath. The water will revive them a little and release more of the sensuous rose aromas.
You can add crystals to the side of the tub before the bath and be sure you only select the ones that are "water safe." Crystals like selenite will dissolve in water, so be careful! I generally stick with rose quartz, smokey quartz, and clear quartz.
Have you seen those bath shelves? I don't have one yet, (I know!!!) so I use a small table and sit that next to the tub for my books, journal and joints.
Now I realize that this may sound a little "different" for relaxation, so please be sure that you surround yourself with the things that give YOU pleasure, be that a good book and a glass of wine, or just zenning out with fat blunt, this time is for you!
Once fully soaked and pruny, be sure you drain all the water and rinse all the salts from your skin in the shower. This is actually a great time to exfoliate your entire body. After your home spa treatment, you'll want to seal all this moisture in with some body oils or lotion.
This and many others are a daily staples here at the Smoking Sanctuary, because love - especially given from the heart is the key to life!

By Ralph Voss, Contributing Columnist
As conservatives and Republicans we have almost no options when it comes to technology. Big Tech — Google, Twitter, Facebook and the like — hold most of the cards. There is a little wiggle room, however, when it comes to choosing a search engine.
For years, I have used Google for my internet searches, thinking a had little choice in the matter. I was aware that Microsoft has a search engine — the name is Bing. It's used by relatively few peo- ple, but I've been using it for the past few months and find it much preferable to Google, because Bing does not try to hide the materials I am looking for. Unless you know precisely what you're looking for on Google, many times you can't find it because Google wants you to see something else and what you want to see is buried at the bottom of the pile.
Here is a good case in point: Who wrote the Gospels? People my age would readily respond that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John wrote the Gospels. Many students in our nation's public colleges and universities are taught that the Gospels were originally anonymous. That the Gospels were written without the authors being named. That the names of the authors were later added to give the Gospels "much needed authority."
This anonymous argument is drivel. It's totally false and is put out there by elitists that want to weaken Christianity by showing that the Gospels have no historical foundation. One of the leading proponents of this argument is Bart Ehrman, a professor at North Carolina State University, one of America's leading public universities. Note that it's OK for a government institution to spread lies about Christianity, but they damn well better not say anything favorable about religion or they'll lose their funding.
How did I find out about this? It's all contained in a relatively new book written by Brant Pitre, The Case for Jesus. Pitre himself as a young man believed in the anonymous idea, because that is what is making the rounds of public schools. Once he started his studies, he learned that not a single Gospel was anonymous. Pitre's book destroys the idea that the Gospels were anonymous. Pitre is a
Catholic, a graduate of Notre Dame. But he has the support in this area of scholars of many faiths. Simon Gathercole, a Baptist, along with Michael Bird and Richard Bauckham, both Anglicans, are just three of many New Testament scholars on the same page.
While other New Testament scholars may be supportive of Pitre's work, Google certainly is not. Please search on Google by asking the question: Are the Gospels anonymous?
The first result states: "A further reality is that all the Gospels were written anonymously."
The second result is from our old friends at National Public Radio, which also gets our taxpayer money and feels free to bash religion. The third result is an amalgamation of 10 images, most of which
say the Gospels were anonymous.
The fourth result says the Gospels were clearly anonymous. Finally, at the fifth result we have a clear and unequivocal story
that states there has never been evidence to suggest that the original Gospels were ever circulated without the names of authors, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
The sixth result is Bart Ehrman.
Pitrie gets mentioned on his own for the first time in result 20. Ehrman, who is spreading falsehoods, gets four results in the top 19. Now, please search on Bing, by asking the same question: Are
the Gospels anonymous?
Result No. 1 lists Brant Pitre and quotes him as saying there was
an "Exactly Zero" chance the gospels were anonymous. "There are no anonymous manuscripts of the gospels in Greek, even though we have hundreds, in fact, thousands of manuscripts in the New Testatment."
Go on down the list and the results are balanced.
This is just one area where I have found Bing to be fair. I'd urge you to use Bing. And you also might want to read Pitre's book.

La Federació Internacional de Bàsquet (en francès: Fédération Internationale de Basket-ball) és una associació d'organitzacions nacionals que governa la competició internacional del bàsquet. FIBA defineix les regles internacionals del bàsquet, especifica l'equipament i facilitats requerides, regula la transferència de jugadors entre països i controla els assignaments d'àrbitres internacionals. Més de 200 federacions nacionals en són membres, organitzades des del 1989 en cinc zones o "comissions": Àfrica, Amèrica, Àsia, Europa i Oceania.

Història
L'associació va ser fundada a Gènova el 1932, dos anys després que el bàsquet fos reconegut oficialment pel COI. El nom original era Fédération Internationale de Basketball Amateur. Nou nacions en van ser membres fundadors: Argentina, Txecoslovàquia, Grècia, Itàlia, Letònia, Portugal, Romania i Suïssa.
Durant els Jocs Olímpics d'Estiu del 1936 a Berlín, la federació va nomenar James Naismith, fundador del bàsquet, president honorari de l'entitat.

El 1950, pels homes, i el 1953, per dones, la FIBA ha organitzat mundials de bàsquet, normalment cada quatre anys, alternant amb els Jocs Olímpics.

El 1989 la FIBA va obrir la porta a la participació en els Jocs Olímpics a professionals com ara jugadors de l'NBA als Estats Units. En aquest moment, la Fédération Internationale de Basketball Amateur esdevingué la Fédération Internationale de Basketball, però romangué FIBA com a abreviació.

La seu de la Federació es va desplaçar a Munic el 1956, i va retornar a Gènova el 2002.

Mick Fleetwood On Going Bankrupt After 'Rumours'
From The Telegraph:
Despite the staggering success of Rumours, the merchandise sales, the endless radio plays and the sell-out tours, Mick Fleetwood never saved any money. He had no idea how much he earned or how much he spent and, in 1984, he went bankrupt. In the book, there is a story that sums up his state of mind at the time. It involves Ghana – where he had gone to make an album, The Visitor – and a Rolex watch.
"I knew that it was the beginning of the end and everything was closing in on me," he says now. "If you are going to be without money, you may as well be in Africa where nobody has any money. I got there, got blind drunk, I had this big old Rolex on and it was a childish thing but I thought this represents all the excess and I'm done with it. I got a beer bottle and smashed it. He later got it repaired, but then lost it in a brothel in Amsterdam.
"I was sort of goofing around. They were all sitting in windows in the red light district. I had a foot massage and I lost my lovely watch forever. It serves me right." In the book it is unclear just how many times he was made bankrupt.
"In the end I've lost count," he says. "I'm like Donald Trump. I think he's been bankrupt about seven times. You pay off what debts you can. You do what you are told by your accountant. I really didn't have much to do with it. I carried on like nothing had happened."
But didn't they take his houses away?
"Yes, they did. But I was allowed to keep one of the houses. It wasn't much fun, but I didn't feel it that badly. I had lovely stuff but I'd be quite happy in a tent."

On a blistery day in Hamilton, on the back of a ferocious defensive effort, the Ottawa Redblacks hung on to beat the Ticats 12-6 and ensured that R-Nation will get a chance to see playoff football at TD Place.
– Showing no rust despite not practicing all week, Henry Burris (#1) leads Ottawa down the field on an 8 play drive, hitting Chris Williams (#80), Jamill Smith (#84), Brad Sinopoli (#88) and Ernest Jackson (#9) for gains of 14, 25, 5 and 18 yards. Following an incompletion and a pass to Williams that turns into a loss of 4 yards, the Redblacks get on the board when Chris "Money" Milo's 35 yard FG splits the uprights.
– Hamilton moves the chains once before Shawn Lemon (#52) sacks Jeff Mathews and forces a fumble that Moton Hopkins (#95) recovers.
– Starting on Hamilton's 41 yard line, a 16 yard catch by Greg Ellingson (#82) and a 15 yard catch from Williams eventually lead to a 16 yard Milo FG.
– The Redblacks go two and out but a roughing the kicker flag keeps the drive alive. Ronnie Pfeffer (#15) is shaken up on the play as his planting foot (his left ankle) gets rolled up on. Given a fresh set of downs, a 4 yard catch by Williams and a Ticat offsides flag set up a 2nd and 1. Behind a strong push from his offensive line, Burris tumbles ahead for a gain of 2 yards. After Maurice Price (#7) makes 9 yard catch, Burris sneaks for 3 yards to move the chains. Following a 5 yard William Powell (#29) run, a 9 yard catch from Ellingson and a drop by Jackson, Burris is hit low in the left knee while rolling out by LB Simoni Lawrence. Milo's 24 yard FG makes it 9-0.
– The Ticats drive down the field and finally get on the board with a 45 yard FG.
– Sandwiched between 11 yard catches by Patrick Lavoie (#81) and Jackson, Powell picks up 4 on the ground. On the next play, Burris is sacked when a blitzing Craig Butler flies in untouched and drags Burris down for a 10 yard loss. Milo's first punt of the game takes three tries to get off, as flags continually force rekicks.
– Aided by a challenge flag that turns into a DPI call on the Redblacks, Hamilton goes on an 11 play, 49 yard drive that ends with an 18 yard FG.
– Backed up by a holding call on Nolan MacMillan (#66), 6 and 10 yard catches by Williams and Price fail to move the sticks. Milo's punt is returned 20 yards by Brandon Banks.
– The Ticats go two and out but Medlock's 56 yard punt pins Ottawa at their own 1 yard line.
– The Redblacks get some breathing room when Jackson makes a 7 yard snag and Powell rushes for 4. Following back to back Powell runs for gains of 6, Burris kneels twice to end the half.
– Hamilton receives but Justin Capicciotti's 12th sack of the season leads to another two and out.
– On 1st down Powell picks up 4 but following an incompletion, Milo comes out to punt.
– Mathews leads the Ticats on an 11 play drive but Hamilton comes away with no points as Abdul Kanneh (#14) makes a juggling end zone interception to take the ball away and end the scoring threat.
– The Redblacks go two and out.
– The Ticats go two and out.
– Ottawa moves the chains a few times thanks to a roughing the passer call and a 13 yard run by Powell. On 2nd and 6 Burris' pass falls incomplete and the Redblacks are forced to punt when HC Rick Campbell's challenge for DPI fails. Milo's 15 yard punt into the wind is negated by a 15 yard no yards flag, so the Ticats take over on their 51 yard line.
– A flying Jonathan Williams (#75) sacks Mathews for a 9 yard loss before John Boyett (#31) knocks down Mathews' 2nd down pass.
– The third quarter comes to a close as Powell rushes for a gain of 14 yards.
– Jackson makes a 12 yard catch but two plays later the Redblacks have to punt.
– After picking up 9 yards with a 1st down run, the Ticats are forced to punt when Antoine Pruneau (#6) bursts through the line and blows up the running play deep in the backfield for a loss of 3 yards.
– A 19 yard catch by Jackson leads to a 30 yard Milo FG.
– Kanneh forces a fumble but officials rule that the last person to touch the ball before it bounced out of bounds was the Ticats' Terrell Sinkfield. The Redblacks still wind up with the ball as two plays later Boyett cuts in front of Mathews' pass and returns it 41 yards to Ottawa's 45 yard line.
– Facing 2nd and long, Burris gives the ball right back when he is picked off. The Ticats return the pick to the house but the score is called back by due to an unnecessary roughness flag.
– With 5:10 left in the game, Brandon Banks takes a pass tipped by Lemon for a short gain before being tackled hard by Kanneh and fumbling. During the review, the Command Centre somehow determines that Kanneh's hit was unnecessary roughness, despite clearly not being a face mask or horse collar tackle, therefore gifting the Ticats with 15 free yards and wiping out the turnover.
Once again some fantastic CFL officiating. Sad.
– Back to back sacks by David Hinds (#21) and Hopkins set up a 3rd and 21, forcing the Ticats to punt.
– On 2nd and long, the Redblacks appear to move the sticks when Price makes a 12 yard catch, but the play is called back when SirVicent Rogers (#55) is flagged for holding. On 2nd and 20, Powell busts up the gut for a gain of 24 to keep the drive alive and the clock moving. While Powell takes a breather, Kienan LaFrance (#37) picks 4 yards but after an incompletion, Ottawa is forced to punt. Milo's 56 yard coffin corner punt bounces out of bounds at the Ticat 1 yard line.
– Following an illegal contact flag on Kanneh, Lemon forces a fumble and sacks Mathews; the Ticats lose 8 but maintain possession. Two plays later, Hinds is flagged for roughing the passer and Mathews is shaken up on the play. Jacory Harris enters at QB for the Ticats and manages to move the offence down to Ottawa's 23 yard line before time expires.
For the first time since 1983, playoff football is coming to Lansdowne Park. While it might not have always been pretty, the Redblacks 12-6 win was gusty and a total team effort. Offensively, it started up front, with MOP favourite Henry Burris starting and playing the entire game despite not taking a single rep in practice all week. Burris deserves major credit for battling through the wind and Simoni Lawrence's low (and unnecessary) hit. Numbers wise, it wasn't Burris' best day, but he still managed to hit 7 different receivers and score enough points to win.
The entire offensive line deserves major credit for keeping Burris upright for the majority of the night, surrendering a single sack on 34 drop backs. Jon "Dangerbeard" Gott (#63) and company were also spectacular in short yardage, picking up gains of 2-3 yards every time it was 2nd and 1.
As for the running game, Powell continued to shine, averaging 5.8 yards per carry and showing off the burst and aggression R-Nation has come to expect from him. Powell saved his best run for last, picking up 24 yards on 2nd and 20 to keep the drive alive with less than 3 minutes remaining in the game. Though it was only a single carry, it was nice to see 6th round pick Kienan LaFrance get into the game late in the 4th quarter.
By picking up 67 yards, Ernest Jackson become the 3rd Redblack this season to hit the 1000 yard receiving mark. It's the first time in Ottawa's CFL history that three receivers have hit the mark in a single season. Interestingly, Greg Ellingson can become the 4th with a strong game next week, as he currently sits 81 yards short. Chris Williams had a decent game in his return to Hamilton, but his numbers (6 catches for 42 yards) would've been much more impressive if not for a number of drops.
Defensively, the Redblacks simply dominated the CFL's top scoring offence. Led by a tremendous effort from Shawn Lemon, who had his best game in an Ottawa uniform to date, the Redblacks tallied six sacks, two red zone interceptions and forced three fumbles, recovering one. As well as the defensive line played, Ottawa's linebackers, Hinds, Munoz and Pruneau, deserve major credit for flying all over the field, swarming to the ball and leading the team in tackles. John Boyett stepped into the secondary for the injured Jerrell Gavins and was lights out, notching a crucial interception and making four tackles. It's more than fair to say that capital punishment has returned to the Nation's Capital, as heading into the final week of the season the Redblacks led the CFL in sacks and interceptions.
In terms of special teams, Chris "Money" Milo was the man of the day. After Ronnie Pfeffer left the game with a serious looking injury, Milo stepped right in and didn't miss a beat, hammering 7 punts into a strong wind for an average 33.4 yards per kick. Milo was also responsile for scoring all of Ottawa's points. Despite being a liability for most of the season, the Redblacks cover teams did a stellar job containing the league's most dangerous returner.
I'd be remiss not to mention the officiating as the zebras threw 16 flags for 250 yards. Weak calls were made and missed for both teams but the most glaring mistake was the unnecessary roughness flag on Kanneh that came about AFTER the Command Centre reviewed the fumble.
By winning the opening leg of the home and home vs the Ticats, the only thing left to be determined is if the Redblacks will host the East Final or Semi-Final. That'll be settled next week in front of a rabid home crowd at TD Place; if Ottawa loses by more than 5 points then Hamilton finishes 1st and Ottawa winds up 2nd, any other result leads to the Redblacks finishing 1st.

Efrain Escudero feels less pressure without undefeated record
ByJohn Buhl
Sep 9, 2010 chalres oliveira, Dan Lauzon, darren elkins, Efrain Escudero, Evan Dunham, featured, The Ultimate Fighter 8, UFC Fight Night 22
After winning his first 12 professional MMA bouts, The Ultimate Fighter Season 8 winner Efrain Escudero (13-1) tasted defeat for the first time, losing by third round submission this past January against Evan Dunham.
Escudero bounced back with a decision win over Dan Lauzon at UFC 114. Now with a Sept. 15 fight on the horizon against prospect Charles Oliveira at UFC Fight Night 22 in Austin, Texas, Escudero admitted that getting his first loss out of the way did relieve some pressure.
"Being undefeated puts a lot of pressure on you," Escudero said Thursday during a UFC media call.
Escudero said that his cardio might have let him down against Dunham, but credited Dunham for capitalizing on his mistakes in that fight.
"I think I've gained a lot more from that loss than I would've gained from a victory," Escudero said.
Various injuries caused Escudero's Sept. 15 opponent to change several times before the UFC lined up Oliveira, but Escudero does not believe that the change in opponent will affect his performance.
"We're going to make them fight our fight," Escudero said. "We had to switch some things up," he said of his training camp, but declined to give any details that might reveal his strategy.
Oliveira (13-0), speaking through a translator, also does not seem bothered by the late notice or the short turnaround time since his last fight. He only needed 41 seconds to defeat Darren Elkins in his UFC debut on Aug. 1. Because he made it through the fight without any damage, Oliveira had resumed training immediately and felt prepared to take the fight with Escudero.
Oliveira also acknowledged that he couldn't pass up the chance to fight a high profile opponent such as Escudero in a televised bout.
"You want to fight with the best of the best [and] have to take [fights on] short notice sometimes," Oliveira said.

With baseball's opening day just behind us, Miami sports fans are gearing up for what's sure to be an exciting year of professional sports. And local teams are pulling all the stops to make sure as many people as possible can enjoy the games.
Two of Miami's teams, the Marlins and the Heat, are leading the pack in terms of fan engagement and accessibility. They're doing so through strategic initiatives that range from technological innovations to improving ticket affordability.
With society at large relying more and more on technology, it should come as no surprise that major sports teams are also looking at digital measures to facilitate fan accessibility to games, as well as create a more intimate relationship between the organization and its fans.
Matthew Jafarian, the Miami Heat's vice president of digital strategy and innovation, outlined the importance of understanding fans' needs in the digital age, and how technology can be leveraged to strengthen the relationships sports teams have with their fans.
In addition to mobile tickets, the Heat mobile app allows fans to access tickets directly, as well as to navigate parking at the arena. "One in every three Heat fans use our app when visiting the arena, which allows the organization to develop a really close relationship with them," Jafarian said.
But these are just a few ways in which sports organizations are widening accessibility, creating more engaged fans and improving the overall fan experience. And Miami's sports fans can look forward to taking advantage of a growing number of these immersive, often high-tech perks in coming years.

If you are wondering how to measure out 1/4th of an ounce then purchase separately a floater bottle or a bottle with flip-top lid.
Great product!!! Leaves glass sparkling and prevents alot of dust and debris for easy maintenance clean. The only thing for me is that its doesnt reduce squeegee drag. If it help with squeegee slip this product would be 5 stars.
This product is great at cleaning windows and removing bird droppings and spots.
Great for cleaning off grease and bird droppings on glass.
Cleaned off mirrors in store that had previously streaked. Stays mixed and very concentrated, great at removing bird droppings after it soaks a bit.
This gliding agent they have in this product makes your squeegee feel good in the hand.
Very concentrated product works great .
I just used this for the first time and am impressed with the glide it provides for the squeegee. I used it on an overcast and 60 degree day and was amazed because the water seemed to stay longer on the glass and there were NO streaks even when using a pole, which takes longer to complete. I will use this product from now on.

SURF CITY, NC (WECT) - FEMA is pushing back on claims from the Town of Surf City that it is "not protecting its citizens' best interests" when it comes to restoring the beaches of the Pender County community in the wake of Hurricane Florence.
The town sent out a news release conveying its frustration with FEMA over the weekend. The release said town leaders are moving forward in hauling sand to areas considered "imminent critical areas" by FEMA and non-critical areas will receive a sand push. Town leaders are advertising for bids for the sand projects.
John Mills with FEMA external affairs responded to that release Monday.
"FEMA does not identify any areas as 'imminent critical areas,'" Mills said, who added the agency has reached out to get detailed information from the town as to its emergency sand berm needs and will work with the community once it gets required documentation.
Loftis said FEMA told the town the entire beach would not receive reimbursement, only the areas that were classified as critical.
FEMA says it is committed to working with local communities to receive every dollar they are eligible to receive.
The town's release said local leaders are trying to be proactive by getting sand in place now while working ahead toward a 2020 beach renourishment project.


Three researchers who led the discovery and development of the first drug approved to treat malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), a cancer associated with exposure to asbestos, were named as Heroes of Chemistry by the American Chemical Society (ACS). Researchers Homer Pearce, Ph.D., Chuan (Joe) Shih, Ph.D., and Edward C. Taylor, Ph.D., led a long-standing collaboration between Eli Lilly and Company and Princeton University that resulted in the compound ALIMTA(R) (pemetrexed for injection), the first drug ever approved for the treatment of MPM. ALIMTA, in combination with cisplatin, is indicated for the treatment of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma whose disease is unresectable or who are otherwise not candidates for curative surgery.
The scientists received the award on September 10 at the ACS national meeting in San Francisco.
"Heroes save lives and change them for the better," said ACS President E. Ann Nalley, Ph.D. "This year's Heroes of Chemistry have improved our lives through their inventions. We at ACS celebrate them and the corporate management that supports innovations that bring the benefits of chemistry to us all, every day."
The Heroes of Chemistry program, initiated by ACS in 1996, highlights the vital work of industrial chemical scientists and their companies in improving human welfare through successful commercial breakthroughs and products. This year's Heroes of Chemistry award honors scientists whose innovations have led to the benefit and progress of humanity in the past decade.
Although just approved for MPM in 2004, the rich history of the discovery of ALIMTA dates back to the 1940s, demonstrating the life-long commitment often needed in drug discovery. In the 1940s, researchers found that certain molecules that interfere with folic acid might delay the spread of cancer by disrupting the ability of tumors to process the folates that are necessary for cell survival. In December 1985, Princeton's Taylor began a long-term collaboration with scientists at Lilly to further evaluate the promise of these molecules that resulted in several potential drugs.
The Lilly team, led by Pearce and Shih, closely examined the biochemical properties of the molecule that would become ALIMTA. The team found that this exciting molecule could simultaneously target and block at least three key folate-requiring enzymes (thymidylate synthetase; dihydrofolate reductase; and glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase) that cancer cells need for cell division and tumor growth. The Lilly-Princeton collaborators theorized that this multi-targeted action was the reason for the compound's potentially promising anti-tumor activity in mesothelioma. More than a decade after the partnership was formed, following additional development and pivotal clinical trials, ALIMTA received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in 2004, bringing new hope to patients suffering from MPM.
ALIMTA is also paving the way for the medical breakthroughs of tomorrow. A new state-of-the-art chemistry building at Princeton University was financed by royalty payments from Lilly to Princeton based on the commercial success of ALIMTA. This guarantees that a new generation of innovative scientists will follow in the footsteps of Drs. Pearce, Shih and Taylor.
Texas-born Homer Pearce, Ph.D., spent the last 27 years discovering and developing cancer therapies at Eli Lilly and Company in Indianapolis. Pearce received a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Harvard University in 1979. In addition to his renowned leadership in clinical research, Pearce is recognized as an avid supporter of cancer education and patient advocacy, evidenced by his service as board member for the Little Red Door Cancer Agency, Indianapolis Hope Lodge and the American Cancer Society Foundation - Great Lakes Region. Pearce, now retired, is a former vice president of cancer research at Lilly.
Born in Taiwan, and the son of a physician, Chuan (Joe) Shih, Ph.D., is a distinguished research fellow at Lilly. Shih received a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from The Ohio State University in 1982. Shih attests to a fascination with the composition of life and the matters that surround us as his driving motivation to pursue a life-long career in chemistry and clinical research.
Perhaps one of the most renowned chemists today, Edward C. Taylor, Ph.D., is a professor emeritus with the Princeton University Department of Chemistry. Taylor received a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Cornell University in 1949. Taylor is the author of over 450 scientific papers and 52 U.S. patents on heterocyclic chemistry, organothallium chemistry, natural product chemistry, medicinal chemistry and synthetic methodology.
ALIMTA is an antifolate that imultaneously blocks three separate enzyme targets important to the formation of basic building blocks by which cancer cells grow and divide.
In February 2004, ALIMTA, in combination with cisplatin, became the first and only chemotherapy drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) whose disease is unresectable or who are otherwise not candidates for curative surgery. The tumor in this particularly lethal cancer actually surrounds the lung, so as the tumor grows the dynamics of breathing are limited because the lungs are squeezed and the diaphragm is depressed. In many cases, the effects of MPM lead patients to die due to internal suffocation. Each year, there are 3,000 new cases in the US and 10,000-15,000 new cases globally. The incidence rate is expected to increase due to a latency period of 20-50 years.

Jan. 11: Bexar County commissioners on Tuesday set aside $1.3 million in federal funding for COVID-19 testing, while also addressing safety concerns in advance of early primary voting in February.
Jan. 10: As the highly infectious omicron variant of COVID-19 continues to sweep across San Antonio and Texas, causing a sharp spike in the number of newly diagnosed cases, a greater percentage of patients hospitalized for the illness are people who were vaccinated. Mayor Ron Nirenberg and County Judge Nelson Wolff thanked Gov. Greg Abott for sending help last week, but the two also asked Abbott for more hospital staff.
Jan. 7: The 7-day rolling average of new confirmed and probable COVID-19 cases in Bexar County was 3,620.
Jan. 6: San Antonio's seven-day average of new daily COVID-19 cases spiked to 3,116, up from 688 the week before. The number of patients hospitalized with the virus also jumped from 352 to 569 over the past week. Two weeks ago, on Christmas Eve, 198 COVID-19 patients were in area hospitals.

The fire restrictions for Coconino and Kaibab National Forests were lifted Tuesday, July 8, at 8 a.m. because of "significant and widespread rain and rapidly decreasing fire danger," according to a forest service web posting.
"With the onset of the monsoon season, the low number of human-caused fire starts, and the availability of many firefighting resources, we are comfortable that it is the appropriate time to lift fire restrictions," said Holly Kleindienst, deputy fire staff officer for the Kaibab National Forest.
The Yavapai Country Fire Ban and the Prescott National Forest fire restrictions are still in effect. State II Fire restrictions remain in place on the Prescott National Forest prohibiting campfires and smoking, according to a release Thursday.

This episode of "The All Day SJ Show" is a special one. Joining me for this edition is a true legend of Chicago Basketball in Kendall Gill.
Gill was a part of the "Flyin' Illini" phenomenon, which was the golden age of Illinois Men's Basketball. He was a lottery pick with the Charlotte Hornets in 1990, where he was drafted fifth overall. Gill was successful as a rookie, as he made the NBA-All Rookie First Team in 1991.
Known for his hard-nosed defense, Gill led the NBA in steals in 1999. He also is the co-holder of the NBA record for most steals in a game (11).
Also on the show, we discuss the Bulls current rebuild and how long we have to wait to expect them to be contenders again.


In 2011, US citizen Anwar Al-Awlaki was killed under orders of President Barack Obama, who authorized a drone strike against the suspected Al-Qaeda supporter. Mr. Al-Awlaki's 16-year-old Colorado-born son would also be killed by a subsequent drone strike, one which was justified by a senior adviser to the President who argued that the underage US citizen should have had "a more responsible father."
During his hours-long filibuster of John Brennan's nomination as head of the Central Intelligence Agency, Senator Rand Paul asked if it would be possible for the US government to kill without trial a US citizen residing inside of the United States. In response to Senator Paul's filibuster wondering if the US government was willing to kill on US soil without trial, former Attorney General Eric Holder chose not to address the crux of the issue.
Mr. Holder simply stated that the US was not willing to kill someone on US soil unless that person was "engaged in combat," thereby making it clear that insurrection plans exist to execute US citizens who take up arms against the state.
The Pentagon recently revealed that they have conducted military drone operations on US soil, yet most Americans are completely unaware that the legal precedent has already been established to murder them without trial if a future president should decide that they represent a threat to the national security of the United States. Most Americans go about their daily lives not knowing that these established precedents have already begun to have an effect on the law at a local level.
Michael N. Herring, Attorney for the Commonwealth of Virginia, is one of Barack Obama's main conspirators.
In 2013, Mr. Herring, to the surprise of many people, decided not to seek a position at the Federal level. His chances would have been extremely good, but it's apparent that the Obama administration had different plans for Mr. Herring; he's now the star at the center of one of the most worrying lawsuits filed by subjugated people in recent memory.
In the same way that Eric Holder's Justice Department used misprision of felony to persecute teachers, in the same way that his inJustice Department used The Espionage Act of 1917 to go after whistleblowers, so too has Mr. Herring been using arcane laws and "modern-day McCarthyism" to target the most vulnerable members of society, establishing a precedent that could see a tyrannical government intrude in every single aspect of the individual's personal decisions.
The Daily Beast reports that Mr. Herring is using an 1873 law to "deal with alcohol and alcoholism," creating a secret blacklist much similar to President Obama's Disposition Matrix. This secret blacklist, called the "Interdiction List," can ensnare individuals "in a civil proceeding, often in absentia."
Once individuals are placed on the Interdiction List, they can be punished with lengthy prison terms for offenses that are not regularly punishable with incarceration. If Mr. Herring wins the lawsuit in which he is a defendant, there is a very real possibility that some Americans may find themselves secretly subject to a different set of laws, and may even one day be unknowingly gunned down on the streets by government-sanctioned executioners.


Abstract: In a variety of attention and search tasks, single-cell recordings of the primate brain have frequently shown an enhancement of responses in early visual areas to selected target stimuli. This enhancement is observed only at longer latencies, suggesting the possibility that it reflects the action of feedback or return signals from upstream processing areas. However, in typical studies, targets are specified on the basis of elementary visual features; as these are coded at multiple levels of the visual system, it is impossible to determine where enhanced target processing begins. Using human functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we demonstrate enhancement of activity in early visual areas even when low-level visual information is insufficient for target detection to occur. We found enhanced activity in early visual areas to targets defined purely by semantic category, suggesting that feedback signals returning from at least as far forward as temporal lobe semantic processing can influence visual responses. These findings also suggest feedback signaling as a mechanism by which early and late brain systems coding for different properties of a target object can integrate their activity, allowing for the target object to dominate overall processing. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

The Worst Holocaust Movie Ever Made
Filed under: Film, Literature | Tags: Bernhard Schlink, David Hare, Fascism, Germany, Kate Winslet, Nazi Germany, Ron Rosenbaum, Schindler's List, Stephen Daldry, Steven Spielberg, The Holocaust, The Reader
No, not Jakob the Liar (1999), whose twin crimes consist of 1) enlisting the holocaust to effect unearned pathos and 2) employing Robin Williams. According to Ron Rosenbaum, this unfortunate distinction goes to Stephen Daldry's adaptation of Bernhard Schlink's novel, The Reader (2008). Disclosure: I have not seen the film yet, but I have read Schlink's novel. And while I understand there are key differences between the film and novel, some of which Rosenbaum addresses in his review, Rosenbaum's chief criticism stems from his interpretation of the novel's conceit: namely, that Hanna, played by Kate Winslet, a concentration camp guard on trial for war crimes, is less guilty because she turns out to be illiterate. Indeed, Rosenbaum believes that the film pretends redemption because Hanna learns to read while serving her prison sentence (that she could have avoided had she admitted her illiteracy):
that's what The Reader is about: the supposedly difficult struggle with this slowly dawning postwar awareness. As Cynthia Ozick put it in her essay: "After the war, when she is brought to trial, the narrator ['Michael Berg'] acknowledges that she is guilty of despicable crimes—but he also believes that her illiteracy must mitigate her guilt. Had she been able to read, she would have been a factory worker, not an agent of murder. Her crimes are illiteracy's accident. Illiteracy is her exculpation."
Indeed, so much is made of the deep, deep exculpatory shame of illiteracy—despite the fact that burning 300 people to death doesn't require reading skills—that some worshipful accounts of the novel (by those who buy into its ludicrous premise, perhaps because it's been declared "classic" and "profound") actually seem to affirm that illiteracy is something more to be ashamed of than participating in mass murder. From the Barnes & Noble Web site summary of the novel: "Michael recognizes his former lover on the stand, accused of a hideous crime. And as he watches Hanna refuse to defend herself against the charges, Michael gradually realizes that she may be guarding a secret more shameful than murder." Yes, more shameful than murder!
Leaving aside the fact that Rosenbaum apparently gleans his plot glosses from promotional copy rather than actually reading the novel, I think, underneath Rosenbaum's justified anger at Barnes & Noble's reduction, the book giant inadvertently makes an important point: does shame, truly, bear any relation to the objective gravity of a crime? Indeed, is a healthy dose of shame really what we want from those who commit the most inhuman of crimes? The fact that Hanna is illiterate does not vindicate her crime, but it does demonstrate how vulnerability, no matter how it is expressed, renders the human subject susceptible to the worst demands of fascism. In fact, we know this is how fascism works: brought low through the excesses and oppression of the elite, the poor, the disenfranchised, the uneducated seek solace in the solution and affirmation of racism and violence. But to explain is not to excuse: it is such simplistic logic that the far-right employ to smear supporters of social democracy.
This is not to say that Rosenbaum's criticism is without merit. He is right when he says 'Hollywood seems to believe that if it's a "Holocaust film," it must be worthy of approbation, end of story'. When Steven Spielberg attempts to impart the gravity of genocide through a flash of colour from a little girl's red dress on otherwise black and white photography, the result, when fully considered, is cartoonish if not grotesque. But Rosenbaum's isolation of The Reader for particular opprobrium is curious. In a Slate article published three months before his request to deny The Reader an Oscar, Rosenbaum names the film as an example of an increasing obsession with the sex life of Nazis. Oddly, Rosenbaum condemns all of Germany, the only nation in the world, incidentally, ever to engage publicly with its homegrown fascism, for elevating Schlink's novel to best-seller status; suggesting, in the process, that Germany is especially receptive to 'Nazi porn' or holocaust revisionism.
But Germany is unique in its journey to reconcile a fascist past with contemporary understanding. I wonder if Rosenbaum would condemn Nobel laureate Gunter Grass's similar attempts, or indeed Peter Eisenman's postmodern Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. As Professor Julian Dodd wrote in the letter pages of the Guardian, Hanna's guilt is never 'mitigated'. It haunts the text like the 300 victims of her complicity and equivocalness:
The affair between Hannah and Michael is not "glorious"; though sexually fulfilling, it is troubled and hints at disaster from the off. When Hannah silences the judge with "What would you have done?", the judge is not silenced by her moral honesty, but is rendered speechless by horror. (Hannah's question ends cross-examination in which she fails to see she had a moral responsibility to save 300 people locked inside a burning church.) Finally, it was, indeed, toe-curling to see Michael attempt to carry out Hannah's wish that her money be given to Ilana, one of her victims. But this was precisely the effect that this scene was designed to elicit: to the very end Hannah has failed to appreciate the nature of her crime and Michael, in fulfilling what he takes to be his duty to her, has failed to see this too.
Perhaps this irony is not as evident in the film as it is in the book, but I suspect Rosenbaum is uninterested in making a distinction. Besides, he condemns Schlink's novel and David Hare's screenplay equally. Rosenbaum's goal remains to judge the inhabitants of 1940s Germany and their descendants unequivocally. Aside from the crude Manichean logic such a crusade necessitates, it is also supremely arrogant. Hare composed a withering response to critics like Rosenbaum (and, specifically, to Peter Bradshaw's review in the Guardian),
it turns out that a few broadsheet film critics in Britain do indeed belong to a category of people who would have resisted Hitler when he came to power. So the great shame is, clearly film critics should have been running Austria at the time, because Hitler would have represented no problem to them at all. [The Guardian's] Peter Bradshaw would have known exactly what to do, and he would not have been remotely fallible to any Nazi who threatened his life. No, he would have died in heroic acts of individual resistance. So it's a privilege to live among people who enjoy such moral certainty.
The question Hanna asks the judge, 'What would you have done?' is posed, naturally, for us too. It conceals a bottomless horror: a knowledge of evil without the concomitant knowledge of righteousness. It echoes both in known history and unknown contingencies. The Reader captures this echo, in its horror, its irony and its desire. Preventing genocide and fascism, something, criminally, this century has yet to accomplish, is not about deciding at which doorstep to lay the blame of past sins, but to seek the understanding, caution and fear that will keep such inhumanity at bay.
Cold Pastoral

Plenty of people are on to the emptiness, but it takes real guts to see the hopelessness.
— John Givings, Revolutionary Road
I saw Sam Mendes's Revolutionary Road (2008) last night, which earned Kate Winslet her first Golden Globe for her performance as a postwar housewife in suburban America, who is not only caught in the suffocating tediousness of the bourgeoisie, but has lade bare the lie that sustains it for so many: the fallacy that she is 'better' than her neighbours and deserves to 'break free' more than anyone else. I was initially surprised at the press this movie was getting, or indeed, that it was made at all. Surely the recent death of John Updike reminds us that we've seen this before: the 'American Pastoral', to use Phillip Roth's phrase—working a job you hate to support a joyless marriage in a cookie-cutter home—is a myth, and authors, filmmakers and playwrights have been telling us this for 50 years. In fact, the film's source material, Richard Yates's original 1961 novel, emerges in this criticism of America's utopian promise.
So why now? Perhaps Mendes is tapping into the recent resurgence of 1950s nostalgia. Of course, wistful pining for the Cold War has popped up everywhere from the latest Indiana Jones calamity to Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck's excellent Das Leben der Anderen (The Lives of Others, 2006). But this nostalgia is perhaps best encapsulated in the popularity of AMC's Mad Men. As Mark Grief put it in last October's London Review of Books:
Mad Men is an unpleasant little entry in the genre of Now We Know Better. We watch and know better about male chauvinism, homophobia, anti-semitism, workplace harassment, housewives' depression, nutrition and smoking. We wait for the show's advertising men or their secretaries and wives to make another gaffe for us to snigger over….
Beneath the Now We Know Better is a whiff of Doesn't That Look Good. The drinking, the cigarettes, the opportunity to slap your children! The actresses are beautiful, the Brilliantine in the men's hair catches the light, and everyone and everything is photographed as if in stills for a fashion spread. The show's '1950s' is a strange period that seems to stretch from the end of World War Two to 1960, the year the action begins. The less you think about the plot the more you are free to luxuriate in the low sofas and Eames chairs, the gunmetal desks and geometric ceiling tiles and shiny IBM typewriters. Not to mention the lush costuming: party dresses, skinny brown ties, angora cardigans, vivid blue suits and ruffled peignoirs, captured in the pure dark hues and wide lighting ranges that Technicolor never committed to film.
If Revolutionary Road has a darker subject material than Mad Men, what Grief calls the 'Doesn't that Look Good' comes out in the glossy production values: the beautiful Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet simply glow in the foreground of a dreary, overcast decade. The stacattoed, pronounced acting style of the two protagonists emphasizes the dreamlike quality of the film: the tragedy of this couple might appeal to modern-day audiences, but their predicament is not our own.
Indeed, 'suburbia' as it exists in the social imagination, is no longer the domain of the white middle-classes. The young professionals DiCaprio and Winslet represent are increasingly eschewing the suburban lives of their parents and turning to the hip urban centres of the West. Moreover, as this article at CBC Toronto suggests, new immigrants turn first the suburbs when looking to purchase their first Canadian home. It's not surprising, then, that this social reality disappears in the nostalgia of Mad Men and Revolutionary Road. In the first season of Mad Men, the racism of pre-civil rights America is relegated to the odd anti-Semitic joke and the voiceless black elevator operator. In Mendes's examination of middle-class struggle—in both Revolutionary Road and his modern-day-staged Oscar winner, American Beauty (1999)—race is entirely absent.
Nevertheless, Sam Mendes is a competent filmmaker and Revolutionary Road is a well-made testament to his craft. Winslet is indeed compelling in demonstrating the boxes that crop up around us, keeping our hopes and dreams at bay. To be sure, even Winslet and DiCaprio's antidote to America's oppression—a move to Paris 'where people are alive'—seems pale and ill-thought out. So what then, is the benefit of superimposing a nostalgic gloss over the emptiness of life under twentieth-century capitalism?
The answer, I think, lies in the symmetry of the narrative. As James Woods writes revisiting Yates in the New Yorker,
The book's form is a solid delight of symmetry and repetition. Just as April's first pregnancy scuppered the original European escape (but didn't really, because Frank never intended to go), so her third scuppers the later one (but doesn't really, either, for the same reason). Frank's father also worked at Knox. A play opens the novel, and a performance ends it, as the Wheelers' neighbors, the Campbells, tell the new owners of the Wheelers' house about the tragedy that has vacated the property. In the very last pages, Mrs. Givings, the appallingly eager real-estate agent who had sold the Wheelers their house, describes, to her husband, the new owners in the same language she once used to describe the Wheelers: "She's very sweet and fun to talk to; he's rather reserved. I think he must do something very brilliant in town." Frank's children, now motherless, will have the kind of parentless existence with their uncle that April Wheeler had as a child, and which, her husband felt, damaged her. So the horror begins all over again: these repetitions and circularities overlap to make the novel's heavy plait of determinism.
One could say that the nostalgia inherent in Mendes's interpretation of Yates's novel was prefigured by the original work. The 'hopeless emptiness' that infects Frank and April Wheeler infects us now, but the feeble solution held up to them—moving to Paris—yields an appealing simplicity embodied and totalized by Mendes's revisionist 1950s that is foreclosed to us. We can appreciate and invest in the tragedy of the Wheelers because it seems somehow more manageable. We engage with their struggle because it allows us to disavow our own; even as we see ourselves in the Wheelers, our hopeless emptiness in theirs, the veneer of nostalgia whisks us away to share the Wheeler's pain without the complication of postindustrial economies, feminism and globalization. And so we beat on, boats against the current, etc.

Q: I need a simple HTML5 Fill Preloader (heart shape progress bar) I am using Flash CC 2015. I want to make a preloader in HTML5 Canvas just like the one I used in AS3. I'm converting my "flash website" piece by piece, so I'm beginning with the preloader.
Currently I use the following in flash AS3:
stop();

this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);

function loading(e:Event):void {

    var total:Number = this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
    var loaded:Number = this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;

    bar_mc.scaleX = loaded/total;

    if (total == loaded) {
        play();
        this.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);
    }
}

It is a heart outline with pink fill. I used a mask named bar_mc to do the expanding, revealing the heart shaped fill behind it.
Would like one just like it for HTML5 Canvas. Complete instructions would be appreciated if possible.
You can see the current one in action (unless your internet is too fast, try mobile) at hugclub.net  Thank you folks!
PS - Current progress bar tutorials for HTML5 are relevant only for embedded movies, not the actual opening of a website, so I ask now :) Hope it helps others too.
