Besides Italy and Georgia, Slovenia and Croatia also make orange wines, and over the last five years, adventurous winemakers in the United States have gotten in on the action. "People making orange wines, by their nature, are more experimental," says William Allen, winemaker and owner of Sonoma County's Two Shepherds winery. Allen himself made orange wine from a blend of Roussanne and Marsanne grapes in 2011. He even makes an orange-style wine from a grey grape called Trousseau Gris—it looks like a rosé but tastes like an orange wine.
Wine In Land – How it is Possible?
If there is much water in the land, than the wine loose the taste. It gonna have more water like rotten taste.
If qvevri is in red clay or lime land, than the wine gonna be bitter.
If the land is yellow clay type, the wine gonna be smelly.
Does not matter how good qvevry one has, if the land is not proper it will always affect the wine quality and taste that's why it is VITAL to put qvevri in black sandy like land. However there are not so many places with black sandy land, people are doing this : they dig big pit, put inside special black sandy land and only after put qvevri inside. (not. one can not use sea sand!!!!).
For building marani, there are also several vital musts!!! There should not be high humidity, the place should be well winnowed but with few sun light in it.


Construction workers, with obvious nerves of steel, play harmonicas during a lunch break on a crossbeam on the 22nd story of the Murray Hill Building in New York City. The building would rise to 27 stories at Madison Avenue and the northeast corner of 40th Street.
This 1925 photo is among the earliest images of construction workers defying gravity and having fun with intrepid photographers hundreds of feet above the ground. Over the years, photos would be taken of ironworkers eating lunch, throwing a football, playing golf and pretending to sleep on crossbeams.


"I created the Self Love Blanket to combine all of my favorite elements of crochet into one project. The motif begins with a circle flower, and keeps going with circular granny-type stitches. Then, a lacy border turns each motif into a hexagon, and the motifs are joined as you go with a flat braid method. Half hexagon motifs, and more lace are used to square off the blanket, and a fun picot edge is added. This project is great for beginners or advanced crocheters. You will love it!"
I agree with Morehouse17, I am really liking this design but I have always had a little trouble joining pieces as I work. If the sides of the motifs are square it is all well and good but with the frilly, I run into problems. However, I guess it is true what they say, practice makes perfect.
What a creative title for a very interesting blanket. Talk about a lot of techniques. You have it all with this design. I think the designer was very creative with this one. I love the concept but I think I will probably have issues with the joining. Not seeing any directions videos yet and hoping I will.
What a lovely throw. Very colorful and full of different textures. It also would be a good stash buster. You can do it in so many colors. It would never get boring. Thank you for the pattern.

Researchers have discovered a hidden symmetry in the chemical kinetic equations
Rice University discovery has implications for drug design, genetics, more
Rice University researchers have discovered a hidden symmetry in the chemical kinetic equations scientists have long used to model and study many of the chemical processes essential for life.
The find has implications for drug design, genetics and biomedical research and is described in a study published this month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. To illustrate the biological ramifications, study co-authors Oleg Igoshin, Anatoly Kolomeisky and Joel Mallory of Rice's Center for Theoretical Biological Physics (CTBP) used three wide-ranging examples: protein folding, enzyme catalysis and motor protein efficiency.
In each case, the researchers demonstrated that a simple mathematical ratio shows that the likelihood of errors is controlled by kinetics rather than thermodynamics.
"It could be a protein folding into the correct versus the incorrect conformation, an enzyme incorporating the right versus the wrong amino acid into the polypeptide chain, or a motor protein mistakenly stepping backward instead of going forward," said Igoshin, a CTBP investigator and professor of bioengineering at Rice. "All of those properties can be expressed as a ratio of two steady-state fluxes, and we found that biological properties expressed in these terms are under kinetic control."
The protein-folding example illustrates the implications for drug design. All proteins fold into a characteristic shape, and a fraction misfold into the wrong shape. Protein misfolding has been implicated in some heritable genetic disorders and diseases, and drugmakers are interested in making drugs that can reduce the chances of proteins misfolding.
Before it folds, a protein has energy, like a ball sitting atop a hill. Folding is the downhill run from this high-energy starting point to the place where the ball stops rolling. Chemists often use a visual aid called a "free-energy landscape" to chart energy levels in chemical reactions. The landscape looks like a mountain range with peaks and valleys, and the downhill run from a protein's unfolded starting point to its fully folded finishing point can look like a mountain road that winds through a series of valleys. Even if one town along the road is lower in elevation, a traveler might have to climb hills to get from one valley to the next on the way downhill.
"We've shown it's the barriers, the high points between valleys, that determine these ratios," Igoshin said. "The depths of the valleys don't matter.
"If you want to get a drug that will help a protein fold correctly, for example, our prediction is that the drug must be able to reduce a barrier along the folding pathway," he said. "If it only affects the valleys, say by improving the stability of some intermediate conformations along the folding pathway, it won't change the ratio of times the protein folds correctly versus incorrectly."
Igoshin said the work stemmed from a 2017 study where he, Kolomeisky and former CTBP postdoctoral researcher Kinshuk Banerjee showed that the accuracy of enzymatic catalysis was kinetically controlled. Igoshin described the discovery as a "kind of underlying symmetry of equations."
"If you look at the ratios of fluxes, you get this interesting cancellation, and all the terms that have to do with these values cancel out, and you get the invariance," he said. "When we first got this result, it seemed counterintuitive to us. Then, we were not sure if it was a coincidence, because in the previous paper we showed it for only two particular kinetic schemes. Now Joel's work has shown it can be generalized to this wide range of systems."
Igoshin said the symmetry "wasn't that hard to prove, but no one noticed it before."
"I think it is a very interesting physical result that has big implications in biology," he said. "It could help define the limits on what is possible in terms of controlling and optimizing system-level properties in many biological processes."
The study was published in Rice University

Democrats oppose GOP's call to replace redistricting expert
Law Center - POSTED: 2021/12/28 18:37
Democratic members of the bipartisan redistricting commission submitted a legal brief on Monday opposing Republican efforts to have the Connecticut state Supreme Court reconsider its choice for a special master charged with redrawing the state's congressional district boundaries.
The court-appointed expert became necessary after the redistricting panel could not reach agreement on how to redraw the congressional districts and ultimately missed its deadline.
The top four Democrats in the General Assembly said Nathaniel Persily, a Stanford University law professor, is "eminently qualified" to serve in the role. They called him "one of the nation's "preeminent scholars on election law, election administration, voting rights, and redistricting" and that the court's confidence he'll be impartial is "well-founded," despite concerns raised by the GOP.
Hours after the court last week announced Persily as the special master, the four Republican commission members issued a brief calling for him to be replaced with two special masters — one recommended by the Republicans and one by the Democrats — in order "to preserve the public's confidence in the fairness of the redistricting process."
The court has not yet responded to the GOP's motion for reconsideration.
The Republicans noted that Persily's name was not on the list of three possible special masters they had submitted for the court to consider. However, he was mentioned publicly by Democratic Senate President Martin Looney as someone the Democrats would recommend to the court. Ultimately, the Democrats did not submit any names. The Democrats, however, said the mention of Persily in a news article is not the same as formally submitting his name for consideration.

Key to this largely supportive public opinion was how, over the course of a few weeks in 2001, a war of revenge was reframed as a war for human rights in Afghanistan, and in particular the rights of women. It was a narrative to justify war that proved remarkably powerful. A cause that had been dismissed and ignored for years in Washington suddenly moved centre-stage. The video of a woman being executed in Kabul stadium that the Revolutionary Association of Women of Afghanistan had offered to the BBC and CNN without success was taken up by the Pentagon and used extensively. The Taliban's brutal treatment of women, the closure of girls schools: all were used to justify military invasion and close down debate .
Over the last decade little attention has been paid to understanding Afghanistan and its history. The country had experienced various attempts during the 20th century to bring progress to Afghan women. These ended in failure, prompting deep resistance because they were seen as foreign, imported modernisation that corroded traditional Afghan identity. The issue of women's rights opened up divides between the urban and rural populations and between different ethnic groups in an already fragmented country. The position of women has been deeply politicised in this war-torn country. In conservative rural areas, powerbrokers built up their legitimacy with appeals to traditional values. Girls' education was a particularly sensitive subject, provoking anxieties about the transmission of conservative values and the functioning of kinship groups. Such entrenched social systems cannot be re-engineered by outsiders, however well-intentioned.
Now there's a paragraph worth savouring. Nowhere in it does Bunting acknowledge that her paean to Afghan culture is entirely male-centred. When she talks of culture, she means male culture. When she writes that attempts - for example by Afghanistan's last king - to improve the lot of women encountered "deep resistance because they were seen as foreign, imported modernisation that corroded traditional Afghan identity", what she means is that the reforms encountered deep resistance from men. When she suggests that "the issue of women's rights opened up divides ... between different ethnic groups", what she really means is that it opened up divides between the male leaderships of different ethnic groups. Girls' education was a particularly sensitive subject among men, provoking male anxieties about the transmission of conservative values and the functioning of kinship groups. And so on.
Worse than that, she imagines Afghan culture to be something like a biological given. There's a contrast between the national culture - "traditional" "rural", "ethnic", "entrenched", "conservative" and all the rest and the various attempts to introduce change, which even when spearheaded by native Afghans are "foreign, imported modernisation" that "open up divides", are corrosive and create "anxieties about the transmission of conservative values". It's all very fatalistic. As though the Afghans are culturally-determined robots rather than human beings as capable of change and advancement as anyone else.
There have, though, been moves over the past decade to improve the situation of Afghan women. Girls are going to school. In Kabul and some other major cities, some women manage to have careers. There hasn't been enough progress by any means. Neither burkhas nor child marriage are close to being eliminated; and domestic violence is still routine. But there has been some improvement, whereas if the Taliban were still in power there would have been none. Women would still be being shot in the head for "immorality" in Kabul's football stadium if the Taliban's' mate Osama bin Laden hadn't overreached himself ten years ago.
It's trivial to argue that improving women's rights was not the main point of the war, or that its importance was exaggerated in Western propaganda. Security - Western security - was always the main priority. Obviously. Even in the United States military decision-makers remain overwhelmingly male and think of women's' rights (if they do so at all) as at best the icing on the cake. Self-interest and hypocrisy abounded, as it always abounds, among politicians. All that is less significant, in my view, than the fact that it should have been appealed to at all - that Western public opinion cared that women were oppressed in Afghanistan. That says a lot about how our democracies now function.
Of course, if you work for the Guardian, feminism matters, but not nearly so much as anti-imperialism: so it's much safer to bemoan Coalition attempts to make it easier for those mothers who wish to do so to get to know their children a bit before being pushed out into the workplace than it is to get to grips with the true horrors of a genuinely misogynist society.
On Monday Oxfam brings out a report urging the international community not to trade in women's rights in a peace settlement with the Taliban. It calls for a long term commitment to support women. I admire and understand the sincerity of their intentions but question whether women's rights should be an obstacle in the process of a settlement.
But then, she doesn't have to live there. And when Western troops do eventually leave Afghan women to their fate, as will happen soon enough, she won't even have to think about it.

Q: Ideal way of using for loop in node I've written a very tiny script in node.js to check out how links can be passed to a function using loop.
I could see that I can do the same in two ways but can't figure out which way I should stick to, meaning which one is ideal and why?
One way: for (link in links) {}
var request = require('request');
var links = ['https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask', 'https://github.com/request/request'];
for (link in links) {
    (function(url) {
        request(url, function() {
            console.log(url);
        });
    })(links[link]);
}

The other way: for (const link of links) {}
var request = require('request');
var links = ['https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask', 'https://github.com/request/request'];
for (const link of links) {
    (function(url) {
        request(url, function() {
            console.log(url);
        });
    })(link);
}

A: There is no ideal way or at least an universal ideal way of doing this, So i will point out the difference between these two.
In first for loop you are iterating the array as an object (in javascript array is an object which can traverse with indexes). But will create a global variable called link after the execution. So an unwanted variable and memory location is created.
Try console.log(link) after the execution.
The second for loop is introduced with ECMA Script 6 and won't create a global variable and is recommended. Because of the readability and the more control over your data, and link can be defined as const if you want. So it won't be modified inside the loop.
For node.js I guess second one may be perfect for most scenarios. But in javascript, the first one may be higher in performance wise, if you are compiling it from ES6 to ES5 and it is the case for most scenarios.

Wörthersee Tour 2014 Audi and Volkswagen festival
Nestled in far Eastern corner of Austrian Alps adjoining Italy and Slovenia sits Lake Wörthersee. A large glacial fed lake that defies logic in being the warmest body of water in Austria. A haven for the wealthiest of Austrians and Germans, every spring the small town of Reifnitz hosts an annual automotive love-in for fans of the Volkswagen GTI. Over the years the event has grown and eventually attracted the attention of Volkswagen. The VW group has had a corporate presence for the past 8 years. Both Volkswagen and Audi set up displays at the event and had tantalizing concepts to show.
Audi revealed their A3 clubsport quattro, a high performance coupe based on the latest A3 platform. Powering the dramatic concept is a familiar power-plant to fans of Audi's performance history, the 2.5L inline 5 cylinder engine. In the A3 clubsport quattro, power output is rated at 525 HP and 442 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired to a seven-speed S tronic transmission with a compact three-shaft layout. Its tall seventh gear ratio reduces fuel consumption.
According to Audi's engineering department, "the heart of the quattro all-wheel drive system is a hydraulically activated, multi-plate clutch on the rear axle that has been specially designed for the high torque of the powerful five-cylinder. Like the engine management system, its electronic controller is integrated into the Audi drive select driving dynamics system and takes the combination of "fun to drive" and safety to a whole new level." The clutch will also transfer torque between the front and rear axles depending when needed during cornering. With an estimated top speed of 250 kms/hr high performance braking is necessary and Audi does not disappoint. High speed braking in the Audi A3 clubsport quattro concept deploys an electrohydraulic controlled rear spoiler that converts to an upright air brake. The vertical braking system reduces the stopping distance by around 12 meters (39.4 ft) The increased down-force on the rear axle permits the application of more braking force.
Audi also revealed an interesting option for its Q5 SUV. Have a look at this tent that converts your premium SUV to a pseudo camper van.
Volkswagen revealed its Volkswagen GTI Roadster, Vision Gran Turismo. While Gran Turismo normally refers to a class of high speed cruiser, in this case it references the Sony video game. This show car was designed and built as tangible example of a virtual reveal for game Gran Turismo 6. The vehicle will never be built, it is only available for download. That being said, the real live sheet metal example was fitted with a 503 HP, 491 lb-ft, twin-turbo V6 cylinder engine, paired with a 7 speed dual-clutch transmission. All that power is transferred to the virtual pavement through VW's 4motion all wheel drive system.
I wonder if VW would sell me one for some virtual bitcoins?

1. Commonly used standard terms; "the word 'Hoover' is used as both a trade mark and also has a meaning of vacuuming".
The applicant claimed that the mark was descriptive of a therapy which benefits people with learning difficulties, and they cited an entry in the Royal College of Psychiatrists glossary of commonly used standard terms in support of this.
There was no dispute that the term had been coined, some time in the 1970s, by two Dutch therapists. These same therapists subsequently wrote a book entitled "Snoezellen Another World", which had been published by the registered proprietor in 1987. The letters TM had appeared besides the word SNOEZELEN. The Hearing Officer thought it reasonable to assume that the authors were aware of this. He concluded that there was no evidence that the registered proprietor had acted in bad faith.
The evidence did not establish that the word was in use as a term for a type of therapy at the time that the original marks were applied for, but it did show that it was established as a trade mark at the time of the later applications. The objection under Section 3(1)(b) failed.
An analysis of the evidence also failed to show that the terms 'snoezelen' had been used in the UK in a descriptive sense. The objection under Section 3(1)(c) also failed.

'Collections' are user-generated "albums" of species and observations (usually relevant to a geographical location). Collections can be created for someone's private property, for a local reserve, large areas or State & National Parks, anything.
The best Collection names will include a category (eg. Plants, Native Plants, Moths, Butterflies, Birds, Dragonflies) and a nearest town or some other well known name. For example, "Plants of the Castlemaine Area", "Plants of 410 Gap Road, Riddells Creek", "Plant of Evans St Grassland, Sunbury", "Butterflies of Riddells Creek", "Birds of the Macedon Range". This way, when searching for a collection or range of collections, and when using the advanced search system, all collections from a particular area can be found easily.
The first page you come to when you enter the Collections Section simply lists all the Collections. By default this page shows the 'Details' of all collections, namely the name of the collection, the collection description and the title photo for that collection. Click on 'Basic' if you just want a simple list of collection names. At any point, click on the name or the photo to enter that collection.
Inside the Collection
When you have selected the Collection you want to look at, the first page that comes up by default is the 'Summary' page for the collection. Note there are 5 tabs in total that you can choose:
'Summary' - This is the default screen. It shows the title photo, how many species are listed, some recently added species, some recent observations added to that collection, and a map showing the rough area for that collection (if this has been set up by the collection admin). If you have admin access to a collection (eg. if you set up the collection) then on this page you can edit the name of the collection, the description and add/change the title photo.
'Species' - This page shows all the species listed in the collection. By default you are taken to the 'Details' tab which shows thumbnail photos and the scientific and common names of each species. Click on the 'Basic' tab to get a simple list of species, or click on the 'Photos' tab to get larger photos of each species that has a photo in NatureShare (hover over the photo to see the species name). At any time, click on a photo or species name to see that Species' page.
The first line of text this page tells you if 'This species list is unlocked' (or locked). This is set by the Collection admin when setting up the Collection (see below). If it is unlocked, members can click on 'Add a new species' to add a new species to the Collection and click on 'Show delete links' to delete a species from the Collection.
Quick Tip: Large collections can have many pages of thumbnails and if what you want is page 14 it seems hard to get there. Here's how you do it. Click 'next' to get page 2. When on page 2 you will see the web address change to, for example, <http://natureshare.org.au/collection/14/species/?mode=details&page=2>. On the web address you can change the number from 2 to 14, eg. to <http://natureshare.org.au/collection/14/species/?mode=details&page=14>. This is a quick way to navigate around large collections.
To see what has been changed on the list recently click on the 'Audit log'.
'Observations' - Under this tab you can view all observations that have been added to the Collection (including observations with and without photos). Most recent observations are listed first.
The first line of text this page tells you if 'This observations list is unlocked' (or locked). This is set by the Collection admin when setting up the Collection (see below). If it is unlocked, members can click on 'Show delete links' to delete an observation from the Collection. Members can add observations to the collection via the Observations Section.
IMPORTANT: If an observation is made and added to the collection and if the species observed is not on the Collection's species list, the Collection species list does NOT automatically update. This is to avoid the common situation where people might name it as 'Geranium spp.' because they don't know what it is to species level (and there are other examples like this). Only when the newly observed species is confirmed should you go to the 'Species' tab and click on 'Add a new species'.
'Map' - To view a map of the general area covered by the Collection (this has to be set up by the Collection admin). Often the 'Hybrid' map is the best to use when setting the map for the Collection.
'Members' - This is where you can 'Join' and become a member of a collection.
Starting a New Collection and Changing the Member Settings
Setting up a Collection - follow these easy steps:
Add the Collection title.
Add the Collection description.
Upload a photo as the Collection's title photo.
Click on 'Edit locked status'. Un-tick the 'Species-list locked' box.
It is very important that you set this up correctly for your collection. It is recommended all Collections are set to 'unlocked' unless there is a good reason not to - it might be a bit scary but sharing and trusting others is very important to get the most out of NatureShare. Note that the default setting is 'locked' as a fail-safe mechanism.
If you have a species list already, you can enter a species list for the Collection in two ways:
Add species one by one via the 'Add a species' link. This can be done at a rate of 100-200 species per hour. Quick Tip: If you have lots of species to add, click on the 'Add a species' link many times to fill the page before entering the species names.
You can add existing species list in csv format via the 'Data upload' link. Follow the guidelines that are given on the Data upload page. The file format is:
ns:name
Acacia aculeatissima
Brunonia australis
If the spelling of the one or more name is incorrect (ie. different to the spelling of the species name as used in NatureShare), no species are uploaded and a csv file is sent back to this area with details of the errors. This process is automated and takes just a few minutes. Any errors must be corrected before the file will be accepted. Alternatively, if you have some errors, create a new csv file, delete all the erroneous names, use 'Data upload' to load the new file with the correct names, then upload the erroneous names separately later). Why doesn't it upload the ones that are correct? If it did, many users wouldn't realise that it missed one or two - so this is a necessary fail-safe mechanism.
Click on 'Edit locked status'. Un-tick the 'Observation-list locked' box.
Zoom in so it shows roughly where the Collection area is. Once complete, click on 'Set current map settings' and save.
Click on 'Edit locked status'. Un-tick the 'Member-list locked' box.

Extended Editions
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me - Teresa Banks and the Last Seven Days of Laura Palmer
Thread starter Q2
Faneditor
Original Title: Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me
Original Release Date: Aug. 1992
Original Run Time: 135 min.
Fanedit Release Date: Aug. 2014
Fanedit Run Time: 209 min.
Brief Synopsis: Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is the prequel film to the cult favorite television show Twin Peaks. It chronicles the last seven days of Laura Palmers life leading up to her death. When originally released nearly an hour and a half of deleted and extended footage had been cut, and for over twenty years fans have been clamoring to for this footage.
Intention: To produce a version of the film that was as close to the shooting script as possible.
Additional Notes: I'd like to thank theslime, addiesin, and Neglify for their recommendations, support and feedback. Extra special thanks to jlyon1515 who supplied the legends for this edit as well as the cover art.
Release Information: Blu-Ray (coming soon), 1080p MP4
Special Features: (BD ver. only) Cooper & Diane Deleted Scene, trailers
Changes: Re-incorporate most of the deleted scenes, re-organized some scenes, added originally scripted legends, minor editing to existing scenes that overlapped with alternate shots in extended scenes. Three scenes that didn't make the cut: Cooper talking to Diane, Bobby giving Laura $10k, and Bobby testing drugs in the woods. These were left out because there was no good way to make them adjacent scenes.
Reactions: HOBBIT77100
theslime
NICE! I'm rewatching the series now, and I'm debating whether I should wait until I'm done or not. First world problems.
I actually really enjoyed Bobby's two scenes (more than the Cooper/Diane scene), shame they couldn't be reinstated. But I trust your judgment 100 percent on this, and the scenes are on the box if I ever want to watch them again. (And they're completely unnecessary story-wise, since Bobby explains it all later.)
Great cover, btw. I hate those usual Laura montages. This looks so much better.
mysteryman
Love the cover art, it looks absolutely stunning! I am sure this is gonna be a treat to watch. One question though: When and where will this be available to download?
jswert123456
not done yet, but maybe ill get to start watching this on my lunch break.
mysteryman said:
Jlyon1515 did a great job with the cover art. He will be tweaking it this week but he was kind enough to send me his WOP so that I submit it.
As for where it can be found see if it's up on info.
im curious, did you include the deleted Dale scene in the bathroom or end the movie with Laura and the Angel, like in the original film.
I included it.
Ok someone help me understand things, by adding the deleted Dale Cooper bathroom scene/Annie in the hospital,
where did the events of the series take place?
sonnybaker
The edit is good but some things would be improved if you simply read the script or the script-to-screen analysis. Like you would've figured out where to put Laura and Bobby at the locker and Bobby and the fake drugs (hint: it's not after the heartbreaking school montage, which you also could've figured out by the outfit she's wearing). The ending feels awkward. It makes sense to end with the angel scene because time in the lodge is non-linear but having the shot of Laura's corpse after the "some months later" scenes does not work because time in the real world is, of course, linear -- even as an artistic choice it came off as a bit sloppy. Coop's last scene in The Black Lodge in The Missing Pieces is actually supposed to be the last scene before Laura's Angel. If you look at the crossfade between Laura's corpse in the theatrical cut and Coop's face in The Missing Pieces, they both lead into the same shot.
The crossfade between Buenos Aires and the shot of the security cameras felt unnecessary, as with the fading in and out of the trucker scene (which could have just cut to on the last beat of Norwegian music).
The several different subtitle fonts could've been corrected if you'd just used the MK2 bluray as your source for the Partyland and Black Lodge scenes, as that release doesn't have any subtitles. That way, you could just add them using the Missing Pieces font which appears to be a variation of Century Gothic. I'm sure you could have later color-corrected the scenes to match the recent blu-ray but I guess that's what happens when you pump out a fan edit in a week.
Nice job on everything else though! Bloody good regardless of the short amount of time you did it in!
Fuck! I did an edit and not a reply. I seriously did not mean to do that. Can you send me what you wrote again and I'll correct it? So sorry about that!
I'm going from memory on what [MENTION=17342]sonnybaker[/MENTION] said. (Sorry again, dude. Feel terrible about that.)
RE: Bobby/Laura scene. You mentioned if I'd read through the script I would know that where it is in the theatrical cut isn't where it belonged. I did read through the script, but my goal wasn't to do a full-on re-edit adhering to the script.
RE: Subtitles and using the MK2 Blu-Ray. I did use the Blu-Ray that came with the boxset. If you're referring to another version that was released I wasn't going to double dip yet again. I've bought the complete series and movie on VHS, DVD, and now the Blu-Ray.
RE: Fades of Buenos Aires. I disagree. A straight cut felt awkward to me which is why I went with fades. I generally don't like fades myself, but Lynch pulls them off well, and it didn't feel out of place to me which is why I went with it.

Thank you for the comments. When you have a chance please consider posting this on IFDB, too.
Just watched the whole thing and wow, I am amazed at how well this was edited together. Some scenes were placed in different places than in the script (like the Laura and James scene in front of the Palmer house) but it still works, and I would have liked to see the three missing deleted scenes in there but I can fully understand that they would possibly interefere with the flow of the film.
My only real issue was that the captions with the days were all wrong up until "Tuesday - Two Days Before". It starts on a Thursday (not a Friday), and the day Laura sees her Dad coming out of the house is a Friday and not a Saturday (later in the film Leland says to Laura in the car, "Oh...I did stop home on Friday come to think of it" when confronted). The Partyland scene therefore takes place on Saturday and not a Sunday (it doesn't really make sense anyone would go out partying on a Sunday...). When Leland picks up Laura at Donna's the next day it is therefore Sunday as they are meeting Sarah for breakfast (explains why no one is in school that day). There are actually no scenes taking place on the Monday so the days are all correct from Tuesday on.
Other than that this was a fantastic fanedit beginning to end. The scenes glided very easily together and had you never seen this movie before you could never tell it was edited.
When I get back from my trip I'll do a comparison so people can see why the Cooper/Diane scene didn't work. Several people have made comments about this and I should probably show why it was a necessary cut.
I could go into a long-winded explanation of why I did this but the short answer is the positioning of scenes. If I kept the Double 'R' labeled Fri., and then didn't shift other scenes around, it would jump to Sun. then to Tues. I was trying to adhere to the theatrical cut, not the script.
As for the Party Land scene, why wouldn't a homecoming queen who probably feels she's losing her mind, strung out on coke, and prostitutes herself go out on a Sun.?
(But dammit... you make a valid point.)
When I get back in a week I'll see if I can shift scenes around to more closely follow the script for the BD version.
Happy you enjoyed it, and thank you for the comments.
Q2 said:
I was trying to adhere to the theatrical cut, not the script.
The problem is that the only way for some of the scenes to work is by following the script unless The Missing Pieces footage suggests otherwise (like the last scene of Coop in the Black Lodge suggests it directly proceeds Laura and her angel). If not, then we have plotholes/continuity errors, such as Jeferies saying "February 1989" and Laura's ceiling fan scene showing up twice, or not all the scenes fitting into the film, like the three scenes you had to cut. Lynch probably didn't reorder or switch around sequences until he had to cut it down to 2hrs, so everything should just be restored to their original place, for example: the scenes of Laura with James/the ceiling fan going right before Leo and Shelly instead of after Laura and Bobby in the woods and all the Philadelphia scenes being "one year later" instead of apart of 1988.
With all the new Philadelphia scenes, it works better as its own 1989 sequence, as originally intended, instead of among all the Teresa Banks/Chester Desmond stuff. Everything thrown in there as 1988 the way it was in the edit made things a little overwhelming and confusing to me. The pacing is all off.
One thing that personally bothers me - probably not others - are the added fades to black. For example: the last shot of Harold and the last shot of Leland while thinking about Teresa's murder do not need to be faded to black - they weren't there in the first place and it flows fine without it. If Lynch wanted fades, he would've added fades. Too many fades makes it all feel sort of lazy and doesn't feel right.
Also, wouldn't it make sense to just have no monday and jump right to tuesday instead of beginning the film six days before her death even though the title - and film - promises seven?
If moving the Jeffries action back to 1989 is so easy, I suggest you do it yourself. Just sayin'. Since the scripted line of Cole saying Desmond is GONE LIKE THE WIND IN DEER MEADOW was either never shot or just not restored for the Missing Pieces, you're left with either keeping the whole sequence in 1988 or a weird sequence of events where Cooper just goes to see Sam Stanley without being told that Desmond is gone. I prefer the first solution. The fact that Cole's line is gone is also what makes the Diane scene impossible to reinstate (if you want an enjoyable movie, that is), there's just no place to put it anymore.
rewak
There's only a few things i'd change in the edit:
Remove the apostrophe from the title so it's as it appears on the cover art (just being pedantic here, it feels wrong with the apostrophe)
Re-insert the scene with Bobby giving Laura 10k (it plays into important events in the series unlike the other two scenes left out)
Fix the days as others have mentioned
Move Laura being uncovered before the "Few months later" title card, again as others have mentioned
The rest, well done!
Just wanted to make a blanket statement that relates to some of the criticism brought up on this thread. First off I should say it's always great on here when there is honest feedback (as long as it is done in a constructive and respectful way). That being said, when it comes to fanedits that are extended editions, just because there are a ton of deleted scenes doesn't mean they should all be included. A faneditor has to make choices about which should be included, which can be incorporated successfully etc.
I'm sure Q2 doesn't want or need my help defending himself (nor is that my objective with this post). But it's easy as a viewer to say: "well i would have done this, that, and this" without actually doing any of the editing. Editing is not magic. It's very easy to imagine in your head how an edit should be and it's another thing entirely to actually carry out the editing and attempt to achieve that vision.
Anyway, before I thoroughly derail this thread, I'd just like to say if you think certain scenes could still have been incorporated etc, give it a try yourself. 1) You'll get your feet wet with editing (and we could always use new faneditors on here) and 2) You'll get first hand feedback on whether some of your criticisms are legitimate.
theslime said:
a weird sequence of events where Cooper just goes to see Sam Stanley without being told that Desmond is gone. I prefer the first solution.
Conformation of his disappearance is the fact that Coop is looking for him. The insinuation would be that Cooper was assigned to follow up on the Desmond disappearance, so after Desmond disappears then we go to Philadelphia for the Diane scene, then Coop at Stanley's then Fat Trout. Simple. We get it. He's investigating. We don't need to be spoon fed exposition to make this any more clear. Then, we go one year later for the Jeferies return.

I got this last night. Will give a watch and a review soon.


Consultant diagnosis bonus not working?
I've just started my adventure with CorsixTH (I'm a huge fan of the original) and the game works fine.
However, there's one thing that bothers me. In the original TH, placing Consultant in GP Office gave huge bonus to diagnosis. It was important especially in initial levels to diagnose conditions like Invisibility, because more advanced diagnostic rooms were not available.
However, in CorsixTH is seems not to work. Im on the second level of the Campaign, I have Consultant Researcher working in GP Office and still, patients with Slack Tongue and Invisibility are diagnosed only around 50-60% (I always have a prompt do decide what to do with the patients). Since there are no more diagnostic rooms in this level (more than Cardio), it makes effectively curing them impossible.
Is this a bug, or is this intentional?
Re: Consultant diagnosis bonus not working?
Can you please ask the same question in our GitHub site (just copy and paste)?

16.7 Re-emergence of the Domus at Ostia and Tombs at Isola Sacra
Roman Architecture
Roman Architecture is a course for people who love to travel and want to discover the power of architecture to shape politics, society, and culture.
truly a really well structured course with very interesting content. exactly the kind of thing i wish i could have done at university!
an excellent course on Roman Art and Architecture. The Professor is a great teacher and the illustrations are wonderful. Thank you.
The Roman Way of Life and Death at Ostia, The Port of Rome
Tour of Ostia, characterized by multi-storied residential buildings and widespread use of brick-faced concrete. The city's public face features the Forum, Capitolium, Theater, and Piazzale delle Corporazioni with its black-and-white mosaic shipping company advertisements. The Insula of Diana, a four-floor brick apartment building, and warehouses like the Horrea Epagathiana highlight the Ostian appreciation of the aesthetic qualities of exposed brick facing.

Dunham Professor of History of Art and Classics at Yale University
Select a languageEnglishSpanish
The most important development that happens at
Ostia with regard to residential architecture, later
in it's history, is we do begin to see the reemergence of the domus.
Already in the second century, and then even
more so in the third and fourth centuries AD.
And I want to show you quickly two examples of
that because they tell us a good deal about late residential
architecture in Ostia and also by association in Rome.
This is the domus of Fortuna Annonaria, an axonometric view of that house.
It dates to the late second century AD
but was remodeled significantly in the fourth century AD.
And I think we really need to think of it as more
a fourth century house than as a as a second century house.
And by the way, Pomp Ostia was still thriving
in the third century.
By the 400, by the year 400 AD, it was abandoned.
But in the third century, still a thriving,
and early fourth century, still a thriving city.
We see this house here.
It's a, an axonometric view from Ward Perkins.
The most important features besides the
fact that it's a single-story dwelling, single-family
dwelling, is the fact that it has an open court here with a pool.
That it has a, the as the triclinium
as the most important room of the
house, so that continues on in residential architecture.
But there's a particular taste for apses in these late Roman buildings.
You can see that this one has an apse not so unlike
the apse that we saw in Domitian's Palatine Palace of the Palatine hill.
It is finally starting to catch on among others.
We see that you go into that that that room through three
arches on columns. And this idea of supporting a triple arch
on columns is also a very popular motif in domestic architecture in later antiquity.
And look also at the fact that on the
left hand side of the triclinium there is a fountain.
So the incorporation of a fountain. A fountain, a, a pool court here.
A fountain there an apse triclinium and then views
through a triple arches supported by columns.
All characteristic features of late Roman domestic architecture.
This is a view obviously through the columns supporting that triple arch toward
the fountain on the left and toward the apse in the center of the structure.
And you can see the remains of marble revetment.
Real marble revetment that was used both on the floor,
for the pavement and also on the walls.
The other house I want to show you briefly is the
Domus of Cupid and Psyche, the more famous of the two.
This dates without any question to late Antiquity to around AD 300.
The House of Cupid and Psyche we see it first in plan.
And you can see it's very simple.
An entrance way here, a long corridor, a series of cubicula on
either, on one side of that corridor.
There may have been a second story on a small part of the house.
You can see the stairway there.
As you walk along the corridor, you
eventually end up in the very large triclinium.
So again, from the time of the house in the
mosaic atrium and herculaneum to here the triclinium gaining in importance.
As you walk along that corridor, you look through
a series of columns, supporting arches, as we'll see,
customary buildings of this time.
And then look at this wall which is scalloped for a fountain.
So, another one of these fountain courts
that seems to be popular during this period.
Here is a view into the room with the
lovers at the famous statue of Cupid and Psyche.
The young Cupid and they little, little young Cupids
and Psy, Cupid and Psyche are embracing one another.
[COUGH] That's
from that statue that the house gets its name.
One of the best preserved marble reveted rooms in the
history, in the history of Roman architecture is this room here.
The, probably the triclidium in the house of Cupid and Psyche.
You can see that even marble from the walls is preserved, as well as on the
pavement, and the steps, and on the side with the base of the walls as well.
Brick faced concrete construction, faced with real marble.
What makes this particular house
especially appealing besides that wonderful statue.
Is the fact that although there's the usual touches of maroon and
green that we tend to see in many of these Roman pavements.
Most of the color is pastel, and it makes it look particularly attractive.
And it goes particularly nicely with the red and yellow of the brick construction.
show you a detail here of that marble revetment which gives you as good an idea
as anything I have shown you this semester
of what the original Hellenistic palaces of the kings.
The palaces of Nero, and Domitian would have looked like in their heyday.
And a detail of the statue of Cupid and
Psyche, and the room in which that found itself.
It can still be seen there today and
the marble revetment once again done in pastel
colors of the floor and of the walls.
Giving us again an excellent sense, not
only of fourth century domestic architecture decor.
But also what so many of the buildings that are no longer
preserved whose revetment is no longer as well-preserved as one would wish.
What they would have looked like in antiquity.
A view through the corridor through the columns.
In this case grey granite
columns that probably would have supported an arcade.
But then without question the fountain on the side of the
wall that is scalloped both down here and the wall itself.
And then the columns there do support arches, so this whole concept
of columns supporting arches, very much a part of late Roman house design.
In the very few minutes that remain, I just want
to say a few words about we've talked about the life of this port city.
I want to talk about, since I said the
lecture was about life and death, I want to
just end with saying a few words about the
tombs in which the people who lived here were buried.
People all up and down the social pyramid lived in this commercial center.
The simplest tombs, and by the way, I
mentioned to you already that there are tombs both
outside the city of Pompeii on the major roads.
And then a little bit farther away, at this
place called Isle e Sopher, or The Sacred Island.
Where one can see particularly well-preserved tombs from
those who lived in Ostia at the second century.
Those who, the, the working poor were buried in very simple tombs of two types.
The upper part of clay amphoras, just the upper part.
They were broken,
and then the upper part was stuck, was stuck into the ground.
The remains of the person were placed below the ground and
then the spout could be used to pour wine libations into.
The other simple type was tiles that were, the body was placed below.
And then tiles were arranged around it looking almost
like a, a, a kind of a house that helped
to protect this idea of the house of the living
and the houses of the dead that were meant to
protect the body.
But most of the tombs are what we call the house type.
We looked at the house type on the Via Appia in the age of Augustus in Rome.
A tomb that resembles a house from the front with a doorway.
And a couple of windows. And then a description plaque.
A note they used at the travertine jams and lintel around
it just as we saw in the markets of Trajan in Rome.
But if you look at these in this very good view from
the side, you will see that almost all of these are barrel-vaulted
tombs, which is characteristic of second century
tomb architecture at Ostia, at Isola Sacra.
These barrel-vaulted structures with facades that make them look like houses.
Here's a detail of one of them, one of these house tombs.
With again the travertine jams down below, with the touch of a pediment up above.
They haven't lost their interest in Hellenization to a certain extent.
Windows here, slit windows here; an inscription, a long
inscription plaque that tells us who was buried there.
And then very often in these wonderful tombs
for this commercial center, these panels that are
done in terracotta that tell us something about
the profession of those who are buried here.
Here's probably a shipper was buried here, someone who
made his money in the import and export business.
And over here you can maybe barely make out a representation
of a mill, just as those that we would have saw, saw
in Pompeii, or we saw on the Tomb of the baker Eurysaces.
A mill with a a worker and a mule that is helping to rotate the mill of the bakery.
So perhaps a baker also from this particular family.
I've in, I've super imposed a couple of
other terracotta plaques making them a little larger here.
To show you that these two belong to people who made their profession
by sharpening knives. Knife sharpeners.
And they not only sharpen knives, and you can see them
both doing this in this scene, but they also sold them.
And I love the way in this still life they've arrayed every
possible knife that you can sharpen here or buy from these individuals.
And what do you think the professions were of these two?
This one, clearly, a shop, someone selling things in a shop,
looks like vegetables, once again, asparagus and maybe broccoli or some
such over there. But what about this one?
What was the profession of this one?
Midwife. Midwife.
And I love this because here we have this woman about to give birth.
She's got another woman I, holding her and giving her support.
And here, the midwife instead of looking at what she's doing.
She's reaching in but she's not, she's, she's instead
of looking at what she's supposed to be concentrating on.
She's looking out at the spectator just to make sure that
we don't forget her features for posterity on
this tomb relief, from her tomb in Ostia.
We saw column bari these underground column bari with these niches
where they placed the cremated remains of the deceased and had inscriptions.
We see the same sort of thing in the interiors of tombs at
Ostia but they on, they are above ground rather than subterranean as Ostia.
And we also see, and basically the last point I want to make
today, is we also see in the interiors of these tomb at Ostia.
Not only those niches for the cremated remains.
But it's in the second century AD at the time of Hadrian on, that
inhumation, burial becomes the norm largely on,
under the influence of the spread of Christianity.
The idea that, of the, the, the, the stole, soul leads
to, ascend to heaven, and so you have to maintain the
bodily remains.
And so we begin to see in these interiors what we call arcosolia.
Arc, arco-, arcosolia.
Arcosolia, which are these much larger niches.
Where bodies are placed.
Bodies are buried and then they are covered over with a marble
slab that might have the inscription naming the deceased or a figural scene.
And just in closing, to show you one last tomb
that we're going to look at next time, the Tomb
of the Caetennii in the Vatican Cemetery in Rome.
To show you that these concrete, brick-faced
building tombs with windows and with very
elaborate interiors also begin to be put up in Rome in the second century AD.
We'll look at those.
We'll look at the title of next time's lecture is Bigger is Better.
We're really going to culminate our move toward larger, more grandiose
buildings then.
And then, on Thursday we will finally move out to
the provinces by studying Roman architecture in Roman North Africa.

Polymorphic variation in the GC and CASR genes and associations with vitamin D metabolite concentration and metachronous colorectal neoplasia
Elizabeth A. Hibler*, Chengcheng Hu, Peter W. Jurutka, Maria E. Martinez, Elizabeth T. Jacobs
Background: Vitamin D levels and calcium intake have been associated with risk of colorectal neoplasia, and genetic variation in vitamin D pathway genes may affect circulating vitamin D metabolite concentrations and/or risk for colorectal lesions. This study evaluated associations between polymorphic variation in the Gc-globulin (GC) and calcium-sensing receptor (CASR) and odds for metachronous colorectal neoplasia and vitamin D metabolite concentrations. Methods: Participants from the Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA) and Wheat Bran Fiber (WBF) trials (n =1,439) were analyzed using a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) tagging approach, with a subset (n=404) of UDCA trial participants for whom vitamin Dmetabolite concentrations were also available. A total of 25 GC and 35 CASR tag SNPs were evaluated using multiple statistical methods. Results: Principal components analyses did not reveal gene-level associations between GC or CASR and colorectal neoplasia; however, a significant gene-level association between GC and 25(OH)D concentrations (P < 0.01) was observed. At the individual SNP level and following multiple comparisons adjustments, significant associations were observed between seven GC (rs7041, rs222035, rs842999, rs1155563, rs12512631, rs16846876, and rs1746825) polymorphisms and circulating measures of 25(OH)D (adjusted P < 0.01) and CASR SNP rs1042636 and proximal colorectal neoplasia (adjusted P = 0.01). Conclusions: These results show a possible association between variation in CASR and odds of colorectal neoplasia as well as the potential role of variation in GC with circulating 25(OH)D concentrations. Impact: Additional research is warranted to determine the mechanism of GC genotype in influencing 25(OH) D concentrations and to further elucidate the role of CASR in colorectal neoplasia.

"If you are driven, competitive, passionate, and a team player, then the CIA is the place for you."
I became interested in the American Food Studies: Farm-to-Table Cooking program after spending a year volunteering on Shambala farms located in Camano Island, WA. As a result of this experience, I intend to support local farmers and the local economy in which I live, both personally and professionally, by using only fresh farm ingredients.
Before joining the Army, I was a troubled college drop-out just trying to fit in and find my niche. Many people told me that I would never be able to get to the place where I am now. That only motivated me to prove them wrong and surpass my own expectations. Now that I am a fourth semester student, at the prestigious college, that I worked 10 years towards attending, I can look back and feel proud of my accomplishments.
Yes. Financially, I couldn't afford to attend the CIA right after I graduated from high school. The Army gave me the opportunity to use the GI Bill to pursue my culinary career goals.
One of the main reasons that I chose the CIA was because I am from a family of veterans and the CIA was founded specifically to provide culinary training to returning WWII veterans. It is also world-renowned for its educational programs. I was also intrigued by that fact that Cat Cora is a CIA graduate. We both attended the University of Southern Mississippi and she has a very successful career. That inspired me to apply. I figured if she took the chance and made it, I could as well.
My chef instructors. On those days, when I feel like I'm not as good as other students, my chef instructors remind me that no one is perfect and this the place where you learn and make mistakes. I think sometimes, I'm my own worst enemy!
I would advise new students to not to be afraid of approaching your instructors or faculty members. They are here to help and guide you whether you have a career path question or interest in a specific cuisine. Your success is their success.
I would like to go to the Pacific Northwest and work in some breweries or bars. My long term goal, within the next six years, would be to become a Master Brewer and eventually pursue my own venture.
My advice would be if you're serious about this career field, then come to the CIA and experience it for yourself. Be sure to do your research and look at other colleges. Personally, I love it here and the program is a great fit for me, but this industry is not for everyone. If you are driven, competitive, passionate, and a team player, then the CIA is the place for you.

B.A. Dillon | Do you believe in soul mates?
When I've had too much reality . . . I open a book!
This is my FIRST non-fiction book and I am over-the-moon excited by how well it was received! A collection of stories about finding gratitude, passion and joy and filled with pages where you can color and journal. The message is simple . . .
Every life experience holds a blessing, lesson or reason to celebrate.
The goal is to find it!
Turn the page for inspirational messages about the pursuit of gratitude, passion and joy. Then add your own personal twist to each monthly color and journal page.
What are you waiting for? BE HAPPY THIS YEAR!!
NEW TEASERS for Tethered Through Time, A Vision in Time, It's About Time, and Shattered by Time!!
TIME SERIES GETS A MAKE-OVER!!
All the changes are done and ALL the books have new covers and formatting! I absolutely LOVE the new look!! I cannot wait to show them off at Submit and Devour Author Event in Ft. Lauderdale/Miami this July 29-31!!
If only there were 50 hours in a day!
… I'd have all these books written!
There's lot's of news regarding the Time Series. First, Tethered Through Time, A Vision in Time, and It's About Time are all getting new covers. Tethered has also been reformatted, and the new files will be updated by Memorial Weekend. Tethered's new cover is SO BEAUTIFUL! I can't wait to share the gorgeous work done by Airicka Phoenix!!
I'm also in the planning stages for an inspirational, feel good, workbook called Happy This Year. The workbook will feature several of my columns from 85 South and About, along with pages for gratitude, thoughts, and journals. My sister and I are working together on a non-fiction piece to help families with aging parents. Sadly, we've been through a lot this year. Our mother has transitioned from independent living, to assisted living and now to nursing home. The last 6 months have been filled with highs and lows and we have learned a lot. We certainly don't have all the answers, but we believe our experience might help other families. Tentatively titled, I'll Love You For Always – A guide for helping aging parents, should be available by the end of 2016.
I see Josh and Julia in my head all the time:) And they are very beautiful people!!
As the New Year begins, it is common for people to look for ways to change certain things in their lives – whether it's improving relationships, focusing on health and fitness, or tweaking the little things that just make life better. For the past three years I've been setting what some would call ridiculous goals. I started in 2013 with 13 New Year's resolutions. The next year I jumped to 14, and yes last year hit the almighty 15. If you're wondering will I write 16 promises to myself again this year – the answer is YES! And I plan to set goals for myself, increasing by one each year, until 2020. I'm only a little bit crazy so my plan is to stop at twenty.
I'm a big believer in maximizing life. Whether you have yet to discover your passions or you already have a long list of them (like me) it's always great idea to keep searching for more. Maybe the idea of resolutions is a bit archaic, but having my list front and center on gigantic poster paper in my home office keeps me focused. Writing down what I hope to accomplish for the coming year gives credibility to each idea, and referencing my list in this column and to my friends and family holds me accountable.
My head-to-toe wellness plan is also going to involve getting back to basics. Basics – Dillon style. With gratitude, passion will grow. If you've never kept a gratitude journal before, this is the year to start. Begin each day by recording tens things you are grateful for. Whether you realize it or not, gratitude promotes passion. And passion promotes joy. I spent an hour tonight flipping through some of my old gratitude journals. I'm pleased to report the smile plastered on my face is a result of that reflection. I was reminded tonight I have so much to be grateful for. Keeping a gratitude journal is number one on my list for 2016.
As we move into this New Year full of new promise, remember there are so many beautiful things to be happy about. Focus on the good in people, choose to always hold a glass that is half-full, and be fearless with what sets your soul on fire. Find your passion and be happy this year.
Wow, superb blog layout! How long have yyou been bloggging for?
you mad blogging look easy. The overall look of your web site is excellent, let alone the content!
Love the article! Thanks for participating in the blog hop hunt!


Arlene left for Boston yesterday. Alejandro's mother told him that he should ask Chuck over for dinner. Tim Howard was the goalkeeper for the United States national team in 2014. I think about you every time I brush my teeth. The fire alarm rang. I was hoping you could tell me where Ernst is. Edgar won't be that hard to convince. Have you told Sanjib why you can't drive a car? You're the most amazing person I've ever met. He has really soft facial features.
Harris says he dreams about Shel every night. Liyuan walked with Varda. Tears were running down her cheeks. Think's new outfit is guaranteed to turn heads. Elsa attacked David with a dagger. It's not easy to work under the shadow of innuendo. Sharon encouraged me to try again. Srikanth, there is something you should know about me. Don't cut your classes so often. What'll Paola do with it?
All I'm suggesting is that we try to help Jeremy as much as we can. Willie was on Viagra. I wouldn't dare ask for a raise. Nobody believed them. I saw Leslie do it. John always breaks the ice in class. Roxane is calling his mother. I just got a letter from someone I knew a long time ago. She remarried soon. Ninja's maternal grandparents both live in Boston, as does his paternal grandmother Anna, who is a widow residing in an assisted-living facility. Although she is confined to a wheelchair, she is quite lucid and has a good memory for details of events of long ago.
Juliet and Charleen looked at each other for a long moment. Casper and Jeffie played table tennis together. I'll have to take over my father's business in the future. Were you speeding? Samir doesn't want to have children. That house is much better than this. The conference was cloaked in secrecy. I was happy back then. I took the opportunity to visit Rome. I am disgusted with you.
Bret looked up at me. You should've called him. How did you get inside? Do you have a key? The birdsong was pleasant. I give you my word on it. Now let's look at them one by one. He raised his hat in respect. Clark certainly didn't expect to win. I'm feeling tired. Kayvan resumed walking.
Penny moved to Boston three years ago. What kind of taxes are there? You're always working. Isn't that something? What is the exchange rate between the dollar and the euro? That is a danger zone; don't go there. He just cares about himself. Suyog certainly deserves to receive the award. How often do you shave your legs? That sounds really bad.
I'm not sure what Jean-Pierre wants. What we don't have is a concrete example. Let's do it when he comes. Sunil is an only child. She took a photograph of the house. She speaks English very well. She picked up her books. You've just been told. Did your husband have many enemies? I got used to the sun.
Jeannette has lost his voice. No one knows exactly how many people considered themselves hippies. If you truly want to upgrade your language skills, then translation might not be the best way to do it, but you're really just playing around, so I believe that if you find it fun, then more power to you. The bread is baking in the oven. Sherman gave Grace his business card. I've already packed. I'll try to get a lay of the land before I start contributing. She recently came out as a lesbian. I don't care if Ed approves or not. No, the life that a man and a woman build together is rarely happy, don't you think?
She looked quizzically at him. Beverly crossed the line. Do you wanna sacrifice something? We looked down on the plain from the hilltop. Please find Lea. You will be washed. The coolness of summer nights is stored in massive wood walls. Thus the interior temperature of the house is maintained at a pleasant level even on hot days. I went three blocks out of my way. Will you help me in the kitchen, please? His skin was warm.
