The deliciousness of kalbi comes from marinating the meat well, grilling it at your table, then eating it fresh and hot, ssam style -- wrapping it up in lettuce leaves (or perilla leaves, or even thin rice skins), adding a smear of gochujang (hot pepper paste) and then stuffing it into your mouth. It's a nice dish to have when you entertain because most people seem to like BBQ.
It is a straightforward recipe, which probably everyone who makes has their own unique take on. In my recipe, I use Asian pear as the meat tenderizer, and I like to marinate it for a while. I also use the LA-style cut of short rib. I made a separate recipe for just the kalbi marinade, in case you want to use it with different types of meat and not beef short rib. And here you can read more about how to find the right kind of cut for your kalbi...
Serving Size: 15-20
Preparation Time: 30 minutes
I love kalbi. A few thoughts:
1. The recipe can easily be cut down proportionately based on how much meat you have. For a full meal for two people (and a little leftover) I usually buy 3 lbs of meat.
2. Can also use apple if you don't have pear.
3. Use a large ziploc bag to hold the meat & marinade and you won't need to have as much marinade! You can also easily flip it around so all sides get marinated.
4. This might sound basic, but...taste the marinade before you go soaking your expensive meat in it! If you don't like the taste now, you're not going to like it 6 hours later on your meat. Adjust by adding more water, sugar or soy sauce. My earliest mistakes usually were in making it too salty...you should err slightly to the sweeter side vs. salty. Sugar and rice wine are your friends!
i second the comment above -- make a bunch and then store it. you'll thank yourself later when you have yummy kalbi to cook for dinner.

Filefield + jQuery Media Screencast
If you like this screencast, you can show it by pitching in to a special fundraising effort. (And here's why.)
Here is a fast lesson on one of the many (many) ways of hosting and presenting video on your own Drupal website.
The CCK Filefield and jQuery Media modules are a one-two knockout combination that allow users to upload media files to fields in your custom content types and then play back the media files in the correct player or handler. It's a great replacement for the video module and integrates nicely with any modules that like to do things with fields.
Let this screenie get you started in only 13 minutes, and please drop me a line or leave comments if this is meaningful to you. Also note that the Boston Drupaltherapy workshop on July 25, 2008, is coming right up - if you are seeking excellent training this summer, this is a great opportunity.
This screencast was produced with great insight from Aaron Winborn. Aaron is publishing a book this summer, Drupal Multimedia, which talks about this recipe and many more.
In order to best understand this screencast you should have working knowledge of Drupal including the installation of contributed modules and exposure to the Content Construction Kit (CCK).

Thank you ever so for you forum post. Really Cool. Crosswell
how to display it on views modules????
After reading all the comments, I finally got this to work in Firefox 4. But it doesn't work in IE9. Could it be a caching issue or something else?
I have followed the same steps as in this video. But when I choose a file and click the upload button, an alert box appears and display the error like
An HTTP error 0 occurred.
I don't know what is the problem. Can any one solve my problem???
You need update filefield module
Thanks for video.
I just followed the screencast and I have a problem
I don't know that its the JW-player that played my video's.
When I upload an .avi, I see Windows Media Player and if I upload an .mov, I see a Quicktime player
in my drupal website on my localhost.
Can anyone solve my problem?

Would this work for uploading a PDF file and automatically embedding it into the page, opening it with the user's pdf viewer?
Like it is told multiple times, without a player you just get the download link.
After following the instructions in the video (or before) you download a player, e.g. the JW Player (jw-flv-player)
You download and unpack it into your drupal site, e.g. in /jwplayer
Now you change the jquery Media settings:
Classes / Media / Media class: .filefield-file a
Default Players / Flash Player (flvPlayer): jwplayer/player.swf
Sorry, my fault, it's just not running on MY pc. Some misconfiguration i guess ;-)
There is no video.
hi all,
this tutorial didn't work for me in the beginning. all i had to do to get it to work is that:
go to "admin/settings/jquery_media" then
1. under "media" sction, change "media class" to ".filefield-file a"
2. download jw-player from here "longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/", upload to your site, then add a reference to the player under "default player" section.
that's all :).
Thanks, that did the trick. It's been frustrating getting video to work with drupal, so I appreciate the help.
not working at all just showing link to video thanks anyway
after four hours of random digging through google page listings, I made this thing work.
First off, you have to install jw player module, found on a modules search of drupal.org. Be sure to follow the instructions because it requires a couple of downloads.
Second off, working from a sub directory install and the default garland theme, I discovered by changing the media class it magically started working. Go to Administer > jQuery Media > Classes > Media > and replace ".filefield-item a" with ".filefield-file a" (without the quotation marks).
Bing bang boom I got it working. Hope that helps someone.
i added the .filefield-file a but my video is downloading automatically instead of playing. any suggestions?
How did you get jQuery Media to work with the jw player module? What path setting did you use for the default player in the jQuery Media settings? I can't seem to get this working following any of these instructions.
best sohbet
I just see the link of the video file, a common problem it seems. Nowhere on this site to help with that problem (even though many people keep saying that have that problem)
oh well, guess them and I are just aren't good enough to be helped or responded to.
Thanks for the video. You are a very good presenter.
thanks for this tutorial ... it helps me too much
very well, and how we can configure not view video on (just showing title). and if i click on this title, i will see video in lightbox2 modal window
you are the best dude your video are the best, nice and simple and clean like a water :P
Hi Sean,
Thanks for your tutorial !!!
I just have a question... In the teaser text, you say that "It's a great replacement for the video module" and I would like to know what are the benefits of "Jquery Media" module from the "Video" module ?
Best regards
I loved everything about these videos. They were clear, informative, engaging and useful. Everything, from the presentation right through to the final close out was done just right. Excellent work!
Nice tutorial.
Seems like there can be a couple of pitfalls, and I think I found each.
Thought my problem was with the path to the swf player, but it was the css selector. Either I didn't follow directions (which I am notorious for) or just a difference in versions some place?
My solution was to go to jq media and change the Media class: to .filefield-flie a. Suddenly, the sun came out from behind the clouds and angels singing...
Did I mention this is a great tutorial?
The tutorial is really excellent. I am newbie in drupal and I know certain post link this would help a lot in my CMS sites. Keep up the good work dude. This is one of the coolest things online.
i saw this video tutorial but i still have two problems:
1. although i enabled jquery and jquery media and configure it as in the video tutorial but i still see the link of the uploaded file,
i download JW player on drupal project (\wamp\www\drupal-6.14\sites\all\modules\player\mediaplayer.swf) but nothing change.
another problem: i want to allow users to upload fiels so, i gave the permission to authinticated users to upload files but i cant see the upload field in the user account page.
Best regards
Great Video, thank you so much.
Excellent dude, im from Peru and im makin a site with UberCart, Im a newbieein all Drupal stuff so although I didnt need the Media ScreenCast module, the info on CCK is very helpfull. Thankz Sean
Great! Really helpful video.
thank you. you saved my life.
Thank You Very much
it is very good and useful video
Syrian Drupal Developer
thanks sean!! how about a therapy in toronto?!! :D
You should enable recaptcha module for comments.
I've just installed as per the instructions on drupal 6 and in Safari the media files (*.mov, *.mp4, *.wmv, *.avi) all just download to my downloads folder and open in Quicktime Player rather than playing in the browser. In Firefox they play OK. Tested on three different macs.
Thanks for the tutorial. I am a relative newbie to Drupal but not to CMS in general.
Had problems at first with file size. Searching Drupal.org gave the possible solutions as changing the .htacess to override php settings(did not work for me) or editing the php.ini file (This worked) On my host (HostMonster) I am able to place a copy of php.ini in the public_html folder so it can be edited. There are two settings in there that deal with file size. One is upload file size the other is post size. Don't remember exactly but search helped me find the variables I needed to change.
Next I missed the permissions for file field.
Uploaded an AVI file did not get window, tried with .wmv and worked fine. Guess there is no player in browser to play AVI. Will have to check on that, but I use mainly wmv anyway.
Only posted above to help others with similar problem.
Glad I found this site. I have a long way to go to get my video cooking site running on Drupal, but your vid helped a lot.
Pablo Maiorino
Hi my family member! I want to say that this article is amazing,
nice written and come with approximately all significant infos.
I would like to peer more posts like this .
My weblog
Thanks a lot for these very helpful videos.
this helped me a LOT. Thank you so much! :D
For some reason this recipe doesn't work for me at all.
I am using drupal 6.12, and the Garland Theme (modified only the color set to Olivia instead of Blue Lagoon, that's it).
Then, here's the config:
1. jq-6.x-1.2
2. jquery_media-6.x-1.4-beta1
3. cck-6.x-2.2
4. filefield-6.x-3.0
5. JW Player 4.4 (latest)
I have thoroughly followed the turorial several times and configured the Jquery Media to use the player.swf which I placed in my sites/default/files directory.
I have also created the "video" content type, added the upload field, etc , etc ...
When I create content, I upload a test.mov file but after I click Save and want to view it, I am getting a blank page in FF (white with no header ..) it only displays :
Wed, 05/27/2009 - 11:24 — admin
In IE7 it gives me a 500 error.
Strange is that this is happening on my Linux Centos VPS.
I have another Drupal installation on my laptop and use MoWes as a local webserver. I tried it with local installtion too and the error is different.
I am gettin the movie somehow embedded, and it is not resized and I can't use the controls even though I suppose that if I could, it's still a quicktime movie, the player seems like it doesn't recognize it.
I found this Jquery solution after playing a bit with Flashvideo which I actually got working, but this seems better to me, even though it doesn't support thumbnails.
Thank you for any feedback.
Is your site in a subdirectory? I had a problem like this, and I finally figured out that I need to configure the path to the JWplayer differently. Here's my example (using the same modules as you):
The domain to my site was something akin to www.example.org/site1
I put the mediaplayer directory(which was unzipped from JW player download) in my drupal6 folder.
In jquery_media I configured the path to the player as "mediaplayer/player.swf" - no luck - I got a big white box where there should have been media.
Using firebug I saw that the path to the player on the page was listed as "date='/site1/mediaplayer/player.swf?..etc.."
I went back to jquery_media and changed the path to the JWplayer to: "../mediaplayer/player.swf" - now it loads as it should.
This problem is similiar to the cleanURL problem with multisites in subdirectories - you have to add special rewrite rules for each site... took me forever to figure that out. :)
I hope this helps someone!
PS. Thank you for the great tutorials, Sean, you were my intro to Drupal media several months ago!
I tried this and it's still not working for me, it just won't use the JW player and instead brings up the quicktime plugin. I even copied the player.swf file to every relevant directory I could think of just to test it.
Anyone got any other ideas?
JW player plays Flash video, not quicktime mov files.
awesome! Thanks!
thank you very much sean! this was a very helpful tutorial. do you know how i can put a poster frame (.jpg) as an overlay to a movie? i was able to play a movie (.flv) in drupal 6 per your tutorial but i could not figure out how to add the poster frame. i'm currently using:
1. jq-6.x-1.2
2. jquery_media-6.x-1.4-beta1
3. cck-6.x-2.2
4. filefield-6.x-3.0-rc1
and i'm using jw player 3.16.
thank much in advance for your help.
Thank you very much. As clear and straightforward as it comes, as always.
Hello Sean,
Great Screencasts :-)

The aim of the game is to try and watch 80 different films from around the world. I do understand that I might not get to 80 films but I'm damned well going to try my best. As this will be a challenge, there are a few rules to remember:
THE RULES: There are no rules! No there are rules otherwise it wouldn't be a challenge…
-Countries only – no city stand ins
-Collaborative films between countries are allowed
-The Vatican City is not a country in this challenge, it would be included as part of Italy (just covering all bases)
-For the purposes of this challenge, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are separate countries as each has its own industry.

Additionally, the controls themselves aren't entirely well executed. It seems like the camera might have attention deficit disorder, because it often gets fixated in a position and then quickly snaps onto a new view. Gunplay feels sloppy until you equip the appropriate abilities, and swordplay is wonky at best.
However, one thing that NeverDead does very well is allow gamers to customize the gameplay to their own personal specifications. As players gain experience, they can equip perks that increase movement speed, allow their guns to shoot more accurately, make swords strike with more force, etc. With these customizations, it's relatively easy to create a character who primarily engages enemies with ranged weapons, or one who uses a brute, button-mashing approach. Whichever style you favor, the enemies and gameplay are flexible enough to keep the experience challenging.
If NeverDead is an indication of their skill, the writers over at Rebellion are probably never going to be in danger of winning a Pulitzer Prize. The story is flat, but mostly passable. However, the characters and dialogue don't even come close to being passable. Bryce is a 500-year-old womanizer whose entire vocabulary doesn't extend pass sexual innuendo and terrible dismemberment puns. And, as far as I can tell, Arcadia only exists to awkwardly convey gameplay instructions and to give the developers a skirt to point their cameras up.
The weirdest part is that I kept expecting the game to finally produce some type of payoff. Graphically, the game is almost great. The environments are immersive and interactive. And I loved the fact that Bryce could tear off his own extremities to solve puzzles and distract enemies. I kept trying to remind myself that no studio would put this much work into the look and feel of a game and skip the story altogether, but I was obviously mistaken.
And that's the biggest tragedy from NeverDead; Rebellion had all the tools that they needed to produce a truly great game, but they consistently favored mediocrity.
If I'm being brutally honest, aside from the dismemberment and decapitation mechanics, NeverDead is a goulash of sterile platitudes and worn-out stereotypes. It's great for a few chuckles right out of the box, but once you've been playing for a while, the game's shortcomings start to pile up pretty quickly. Perhaps my disappointment was magnified because the game had so much potential, but ended up being the same game we all played numerous times ten years ago.

Updated June 2017
Alcoholism. A disease characterized by a dependency on alcohol. Excessive alcohol use can have a negative impact on bone health.
Amenorrhea. The abnormal absence of menstrual periods. Early amenorrhea caused by overtraining can cause bones to become brittle and break.
Anorexia nervosa. An eating disorder characterized by an irrational fear of weight gain. Individuals with anorexia nervosa can experience nutritional and hormonal problems that negatively impact bone health.
Arthritis. A general term for conditions that cause inflammation (swelling) of the joints and surrounding tissues. Some forms of arthritis may occur simultaneously with osteoporosis and Paget's disease.
Asthma. A chronic lung disease. People with asthma tend to be at increased risk for osteoporosis, especially in the spine.
Balance. The ability to maintain your body's stability while moving or standing still. Along with flexibility and strength, improving balance can significantly reduce the risk of falling.
Bisphosphonates. Drugs used to treat osteoporosis and other bone diseases.
Bone. A living, growing tissue made mostly of collagen.
Bone biopsy. A test in which a small sample of tissue for analysis is taken from bone.
Bone mineral density (BMD) testing. A test that measures bone strength and fracture risk.
Bone remodeling. The process of bone renewal through resorption (where old bone is removed from the skeleton) and formation (where new bone is added to the skeleton).
Bone scan. A nuclear scanning test primarily used to help diagnose a number of conditions relating to bones including Paget's disease.
Breast cancer. A disease in which abnormal tumor cells develop in the breast. Women who have had breast cancer may be at increased risk for osteoporosis and fracture because of possible reduced levels of estrogen, chemotherapy or surgery, or early menopause.
Calcitonin. A hormone involved in calcium regulation that is used to treat osteoporosis and Paget's disease.
Calcium. A mineral that is an essential nutrient for bone health. It is also needed for the heart, muscles and nerves to function properly and for blood to clot.
Celiac disease. An inherited intestinal disorder in which the body cannot tolerate gluten, which is found in foods made with wheat, rye, and barley. Bone loss is a complication of untreated celiac disease.
Collagen. A family of fibrous proteins that are components of osteogenesis imperfecta is caused by a genetic defect that affects the body's production of collagen.
Constipation. A decrease in frequency of stools or bowel movements with hardening of the stool. Some forms of osteogenesis imperfecta are associated with increased risk for constipation caused by increased perspiration, growth impairment, pelvic malformation, and diminished physical activity.
Diabetes. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches, and other food into energy. Having diabetes may increase osteoporosis risk.
Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). A common test for measuring bone mineral density. It is painless, a bit like having an x-ray, but with much less exposure to radiation.
Endocrinologist. A doctor who treats the endocrine system, which are the glands and hormones that help control the body's metabolic activity. In addition to osteoporosis, endocrinologists treat diabetes and diseases of the thyroid and pituitary glands.
Estrogen therapy. The use of the female hormone estrogen (sometimes combined with another hormone, progestin) to treat osteoporosis.
Family doctors. Doctors who have a broad range of training that includes internal medicine, gynecology, and pediatrics. They place special emphasis on caring for an individual or family on a long-term, continuing basis.
Flexibility. The range of motion of a muscle or group of muscles. Along with balance and strength, improving flexibility can significantly reduce the risk of falling.
Fracture. Broken bone. People with osteoporosis, osteogenesis imperfecta, and Paget's disease are at greater risk for bone fracture.
Geriatricians. Family doctors or internists who have received additional training on the aging process and the conditions and diseases that often occur among the elderly.
Glucocorticoids. Steroid medications such as prednisone or cortisone used to reduce inflammation in many diseases. Bone loss is a very common side effect of these medications.
Gynecologist. A doctor who diagnoses and treats conditions of the female reproductive system and associated disorders.
Hypercalciuria. A disorder in which an excessive amount of calcium is lost through the urine.
Hypertension. High blood pressure.
Hypogonadism. Abnormally low levels of sex hormone. Low levels of testosterone is sometimes a secondary cause of osteoporosis in men.
Idiopathic. No identifiable cause. Osteoporosis may be characterized as idiopathic, particularly in children and men.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Diseases, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, that cause swelling in the intestine and/or digestive track, which may result in diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and weight loss. People with IBD are at an increased risk for osteoporosis.
Internist. A doctor trained in general internal medicine. These doctors diagnose and treat many diseases.
Joint laxity. Loose joints. A common symptom in people with osteogenesis imperfecta.
Juvenile osteoporosis. Osteoporosis in children and adolescents.
Lactose intolerance. Inability to digest lactose, the natural sugar found in milk and other dairy products. Individuals with lactose intolerance who avoid dairy products may be at increased risk for osteoporosis.
Lupus. A chronic inflammatory disease that occurs when the body's immune system attacks its own tissues and organs. Also called systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Inflammation caused by lupus can affect many different body systems including joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, heart, and lungs. People with lupus are at increased risk for osteoporosis.
Menopause. The cessation of menstruation in women. Bone health in women often deteriorates after menopause due to a decrease in the female hormone estrogen.
MRI. Magnetic resonance imaging. Unlike an x ray, which shows only bony structures, an MRI scan produces clear pictures of soft tissues, too, such as ligaments, tendons, and blood vessels.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). A class of medications available over the counter or with a prescription that ease pain and inflammation. Includes aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen.
Orthopaedic surgeons. Doctors trained in the care of patients with musculoskeletal conditions such as congenital skeletal malformations, bone fractures and infections, and metabolic problems.
Orthopaedist. A doctor who specializes in bone and joint disorders.
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Osteogenesis imperfecta is a genetic disorder characterized by bones that break easily, often from little or no apparent cause.
Osteopenia. Low bone mass.
Osteoporosis. Literally means "porous bone." This disease is characterized by too little bone formation, excessive bone loss, or a combination of both, leading to bone fragility and an increased risk of fractures of the hip, spine and wrist.
Paget's disease of bone. A bone disease that causes bones to grow larger and weaker than normal.
Parathyroid hormone. A form of human parathyroid hormone (PTH) is approved for the treatment of osteoporosis.
Peak bone mass. The amount of bone tissue in the skeleton. Bone tissue can keep growing until around age 30. At that point, bones have reached their maximum strength and density, known as peak bone mass.
Periodontitis. A chronic infection that affects the gums and the bones that support the teeth. Bacteria and the body's own immune system break down the bone and connective tissue that hold teeth in place. Teeth may eventually become loose, fall out, or have to be removed.
Physiatrists. Doctors who specialize in physical medicine and rehabilitation. They evaluate and treat patients with impairments, disabilities, or pain arising from various medical problems, including bone fractures. Physiatrists focus on restoring the physical, psychological, social, and vocational functioning of the individual.
Prostate cancer. A disease in which abnormal tumor cells develop in the prostate gland. Men who receive hormone deprivation therapy for prostate cancer have an increased risk of developing osteoporosis and broken bones.
RANK ligand (RANKL) inhibitors. A type of drug approved for the treatment of osteoporosis.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). An inflammatory disease that causes pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function in the joints. It occurs when the immune system, which normally defends the body from invading organisms, attacks the membrane lining the joints. Studies have found an increased risk of bone loss and fracture in individuals with RA.
Rheumatologists. Doctors who diagnose and treat diseases of the bones, joints, muscles, and tendons, including arthritis and collagen diseases.

NVIDIA Optimus Technology: Performance and Battery Life for your Notebook
Problem Overview
As more and more consumers move towards using notebooks as their primary or only computer, the need for a more robust and flexible computing solution is required. Even in their most current form, notebook computers usually exist at one end of the spectrum or another; either the machine is built for longer battery life or it is geared towards being a desktop replacement with higher performance. In nearly all cases, one aspect of that decision is whether or not the notebook will have a discrete graphics solution; most of the time laptops built for battery life will not integrate discrete GPUs because they use more power and because they require space on the PCB thus making the machine slightly larger than it might have to be.
This offers customers with a choice: buy a system that was capable of doing things like playing games, watching HD video reliably or running GPU-based applications well or buy a system that lacked some of those features in favor of longer battery life. I think we have all thought about this at some point: my personal notebook purchasing decision stressed battery life over all else (making those many flights I take each year more bearable) and thus I am not able to take advantage of Flash HD playback acceleration or gaming. For most of us, we assumed that was part of life on the road. With Optimus Technology, NVIDIA hopes to change that.
Optimus promises the best of both worlds: the extended battery life of IGP-based systems and the power and performance of discrete-based systems. And, we are told, all of this can be done without the knowledge of or interaction with the consumer. That is a lofty claim but if NVIDIA is accurate, it could drastically the change the notebook market as we know it.
The NVIDIA Optimus Technology Video Review
With a touch of humor to along with the barrage of data and information, I think you'll enjoy our video review of the NVIDIA Optimus Technology. There are more details in our text version (that you are currently already reading) but we encourage you to check out our video review and welcome your feedback!
Thanks for the review. This Nvidia Optimus technology looks set to change how we view battery performance in the the future. If the optimus promises to deliver what it claims to be able to, by extending battery life without sacrificing any performance at all, it could put a lot of other technologies out of business.
I personally got rid of my notebook with optimus technology and sold it on ebay for nearly the same price as i bought it. I can advise you to do the same. NVIDIA is doing promises but in fact they do not fix the problem. You can wait forever for the fix. I am owning now a sony vaio with ATI Radeon card, it was cheaper than my ASUS and now PES, GTA IV and other games are running perfectly. No tweaks, patches and other work is needed to play those games. Just think about it!
proof you're a fucking moron
The ability to switch performance is a welcomed one for many laptop users. Professionals who do not need the high video quality but need longer battery life would welcome that addition. No longer is it about lowering the lights of the screen in order to conserve energy.
Get real.

It's Just Like Riding a Bike
But today, I took time out for exercise, and more importanly, for FUN! This summer, I got a new Huffy Cruiser. It's pink and aqua (my absolute favorite colors) and I was so excited to ride it, but when it arrived, I was having problems with blood clots so there it sat, unused, lonely. Today, I hopped on and rode a bike for the first time in probably fifteen years! I was honestly a little scared to take off because I wasn't sure I'd even remember how to pedal. But like the saying goes, it was just like riding a bike. A little wobbly at first, perhaps, but then it was pure fun!
I live near a biking/hiking trail and I see riders all decked out with their little bike shorts, snug fitting shirts, and aerodynamically designed helmets. That's not me. Instead, I donned comfy clothes and cruised (although, next time I'll trade my flip flops for tennis shoes, I think). I wasn't in a race with those guys on the trail; I was on a mission to feel the wind in my face. I wasn't trying to make time; I was trying to have a good time. I wasn't trying to qualify for the next Tour de France; I was trying to forgot about the stacks of work waiting for me at home. I wasn't trying to burn calories; I was trying to recapture that feeling I got when I was a kid, riding around the neighborhood on my bike, free, independent, invincible. And you know what? I did all those things! It was truly FUN!
Huffy's new Cruisers are all about the fun of riding! This bike doesn't have several speeds. It's not designed for racing. It's not designed to handle all sorts of crazy terrain. In fact, most of the Huffy Cruisers have all sorts of saddle bags and baskets. You can head to the park or the beach, packing a picnic, sand toys, sunscreen, drinks, whatever into those bags. The Panama Jack Cruiser even has a bottle opener on the frame! Now that's my kind of bike! And my kids think I'm nuts, but my favorite thing about this bike (aside from the fact that it's PINK) is the seat! Really! Most bicycles have these tiny little seats designed for a size 2 butt. Huffy Cruisers have a nice sized seat which is awesome for those of us who do not possess a size 2 butt! You can check out Huffy's Cruiser line of bicycles HERE!
Next weekend's agenda? The park with my kids and a picnic!

i have the aqua and white one and love it. i wanted a mountain bike but with my weight and the problems with my hip not rotating as far as it should, i just couldnt get my leg all the way around. so the huffy cruiser is what i ended up getting and i love it. and the best part is that i dont have to worry about prying the seat out of my butt. i would definately NOT recommend this bike for anything other than a paved trail though, it does not handle bumps very well lol.

I love to ride my bicycle. I think I wrote several months ago that the bike was the way to go because you can actually go fast enough to get a breeze to blow the sweat (I wish I only perspired) off of you. Of course, now I have Queen's Bicycle Races going through my head.

Love the attitude Dawn, way to go! I keep passing my bike in the basement and it keeps giving me 'that look'. I have a 15 speed but the same comfy seat - makes all the difference. I was trying to ride to and from work because it's not really that far and now that both kids are in university I don't have to do all that dropping/picking up stuff. I just need to get that basket fixed up so I can carry water up front where it's handy to stop me from dying because my airway closed up from sticking together like sand paper....

Ican't even remember what kind of bike I have but I do know I bought a soft wide seat for it.
I am going to have my husband get it out for me and start riding again. you made me realize how fun it was as a kid.....
Thanks Dawn !

Hey Dawn -
A few years ago, I finally consented to getting rid of my dark teal Schwinn 10-speed that I owned since I was 12 (it was a sad moment, but I hadn't ridden it in 20+ years and it was in rough shape). I've been looking for a new bike similar to your Huffy - I'm 5'4", and definitely not a size 2 - is your bike a 26" bike? Any suggestions for picking the right height bike? Thanks! Betsy

That looks like fun. Not sure if It would work on some of the hills we have in this part of Virginia. We are only a few miles west of the appalachian trail. Maybe a mountain bike with a comfy seat would work for me?
- September 20, 2012 at 4:56 PM

Betsy, my bike has a 24 inch frame. Proably a 24 or a 26 inch frame would work for you! Try it out at the store and see which ones feels more comfortable. :)

Author Notes: I have always liked the idea of cheese courses and I am one to order a cheese course when offered. This one I use as a dessert but is also good for breakfast or maybe with some arugula as a light lunch. I have been wanting to try burrata for a long time and low and behold I am finally getting the chance. If you don't know burrata it is fresh mozzarella wrapped around fresh mozz curd and cream. My Cheese lady, who I was lucky enough to teach as a student in culinary school, told me it is mozzarella crack and I can do nothing but agree. Everything in this recipe compliments each other and brings forward all the flavors of each ingredient. - thirschfeld —thirschfeld
Food52 Review: If you can get your hands on burrata, do try this recipe... it's so simple, yet so superbly delicious. The oozy burrata with the sweet berries, the slightly acidic balsamic and the spicy fresh pepper are a great combination... highly recommended! - WinnieAB —The Editors
Serves: 4
pound burrata
handful of mixed berries, I used black raspberries, blureberries, strawberries, raspberries and currants
light flavored honey
good quality balsamic vinegar
fresh ground black pepper
- Carefully slice the burrata into 4 pieces. It is delicate so use care.
- Drizzle honey over and around the cheese, about a teaspoon per serving.
- Top with fruit and then drizzle with balsamic. Grind fresh ground pepper over the top and serve.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

After several years and many nights in my HH Explorer UL early in my hammock career, with the exception of one night, I have been using a WBBB for the last 3 years. Last weekend I reverted to my HH to save weight and space in a new pack I have started testing. Part of the equation is even after many years I have not laid out the cash for an UQ, so have been using pads with my 1.7 DBL WB. Throw in an 8x10 tarp and you have some weight and bulk. I often get asked about HH vs WB, so thought I'd throw out a few observations:
- It took one hang for me to get used to tieing the HH hitch again after 3 years with the WB ringbuckles & webbing straps. Took a few tries on night one to get the tension right, but by night two it went up easily.
- I had forgotten how warm the SS+SB is. After 3 years of Cold Butt Syndrome it was nice to be toasty at all corners. It is amazing what that little bit of OCF pad + mylar sheet + UC will do. It got down to about 40F at Manning Camp, but I never even needed to zip into my mummy bag all night.
- It was such a joy to only carry and pound in two stakes instead of 6-8 for the WB+tarp. Here in Arizona that can be a big deal, as the ground is either hard granite or soft sand.
- I am not a perfectionist when it comes to a taut tarp pitch. It was great to not have to hassle with pitching the tarp once the hammock was up, just adjust the prussics and good-to-go. OTOH, on night two I was kept awake for quite a while with a light breeze flapping the tarp ridgeline around. I finally got up and tightened down the side tieouts and was fine after that.
- Nothing breaks down faster in the morning than an HH in snakeskins. The only thing I pack separately is the OCF pad in a silnylon sack.
- The WBBB is more roomy and comfy with the big footbox, but by night two I had acclimated to the HH and slept great.
- I actually like the bottom slit entry over side zippers. Bombproof, and no zippers to search for in the middle of the night. Just put my legs down and I'm out.
- I saved maybe 8 ounces on weight, but quite a bit in bulk. The OCF pad compresses down pretty well.
- I didn't really miss the WB shelf. I just don't keep that much stuff inside my hammock at night, and the HH ridgeline mesh bag was plenty big for the iPod, etc.
- Tom Hennessy is a genius. When you consider when this hammock was designed, and the reliability of the system as a whole it is pretty amazing. No whoopies to mess with, no zippers, no quilts to adjust, everything just keeps working. OTOH, I had forgotten how obsessed he was with elastics: side tieouts, UC cords, OCF loops -- this thing is held together with rubber bands. Mine are starting to show their age, and sooner or later one is going to snap, but I know that if I'm out in the backcountry I can just tie the pieces together and keep going.
Picture of my setup at Manning Camp in Saguaro National Park:
So which is better? YMMV of course. They are both great pieces of gear. For comfort and roominess I do like the WBBB and will use it again on trips where I'm not trying to save ounces or a few cubic inches. I'm looking into getting a netless hammock, as here in AZ bugs are not the issue they were in Minnesota. Most trips I don't need a tarp: when the weatherman says "0% chance of rain" here in Tucson he really means it! Took me about a year to have the courage to venture out tarpless.
Anyway, that's my story. I'd appreciate hearing from others who also have bounced between the two and compare notes.

Gregg Allman Announces He's Engaged to a 24 Year Old
Gregg Allman of the Allman Brothers Band revealed during a televised interview last night that he is engaged to be married for seventh time, to a 24-year-old woman identified only as Shannon.
Speaking to Piers Morgan of CNN in order to promote his new book 'My Cross to Bear,' Allman apparently revealed the news off camera, shuffling a bit nervously but smiling broadly when Morgan brought it up on the air. To paraphrase the Beatles, Allman won't have to wonder if his new bride will still need and feed him when he's 64, because he already crossed that milestone back in December 2011.
When asked how his fiancee felt about becoming his seventh wife, Allman firmly but politely replied, "That's not what she's becoming. She's becoming wife No. 1. I don't have a wife, I haven't had one for years." He also explained this go-round would be different because, "This time, I am really in love," and then estimated that he had been in love with only two of his previous wives –and even then, "They didn't reciprocate."

ANAHEIM – The extended portion of a stage that collapsed at Servite High School over the weekend, injuring more than two dozen students, was poorly constructed, school officials announced today, adding that they could not find any record of a building permit being issued for the extension.
The stage apron gave way about 10 p.m. Saturday at the school at 1952 W. La Palma Ave., while an estimated 250 girls from Rosary High School were taking part in a raucous rally, jumping up and down on the wooden structure.
At least 25 students suffered minor to moderate injuries, officials said.
"We notified the Servite community that in the process of investigating we brought in a forensic and structural engineer who found a flaw in the construction of the apron of the stage," said Kelly Esperias, a spokeswoman for the school.
"And we couldn't find a permit on file for it. It was built 25 maybe 30 years ago and in our research we could not find a permit on file."
In a statement posted on the Servite website, school President Peter Bowen said an investigation conducted in conjunction with the Anaheim Fire Department and city Planning and Building Department found "a flaw in the construction of the apron covering the orchestra pit."
"The apron was not part of the original theater construction and was added sometime in the early 1980s," Bowen said. "We have not found a record of an apron building permit."
Bowen said the school will submit plans to the city for a "new, re- engineered stage apron."
"We will continue to provide assistance, support and prayers for the students, families and staff of Rosary High School," Bowen said. "We will keep evaluating, modernizing and upgrading our facilities to ensure the safety of our students and community."
Esperias emphasized, "safety is our biggest concern so we're working really hard with the city to make sure the new structure is safe and up to current building standards."
The stage collapse occurred during Rosary High School's 44th annual Red and Gold Rally.
Rosary is an all-girls Catholic high school in Fullerton founded in 1965. It utilizes the theater of the all-boys Servite High School for its annual Red and Gold event, according to Rosary's website.

Cape Cod, Massachusetts Travel Guide
Cape Cod Summary
- Miles of pristine beaches
- Beautiful, old lighthouses sprinkled along the coast
- Historic sites -- Provincetown where the Pilgrims first landed
- Multiple biking trails, like the Nickerson State Park in Brewster and the Shining Sea Bikeway in Falmouth
- High-end restaurants, as well as more budget-friendly picks
- Outdoor activities like golf, fishing, and boating
- Many diverse villages -- from historic towns, to gay-rights communities, to commercial retail hubs
- Perfect summer weather for beach-goers: cool mornings and warm, sunny afternoons
- Proximity to warm Gulf Stream ocean current causes a longer summer season
- Winter storms can be brutal
- Heavy traffic on summer weekends
What It's Like
Ask anyone from Boston and they'll probably tell you that Cape Cod is a little slice of heaven right here on earth. As one of the nation's most storied summer beach vacation spots, there is no shortage of activity for all walks of life. From the cultural offerings and lively nightlife of Provincetown to the sleepy New England charm of Chatham and everywhere in between, it's not hard to see why the crowds keep returning.
Where To Stay
Provincetown: A thriving hub of LGBT culture, Provincetown boasts a history as impressive as its beaches, nightlife and current cultural scene. Commercial St, P-Town's main drag, is a very lively hub of activity, bustling with shops, restaurants, bars and inns. Bunking up near this street (or Bradford St, which runs parallel) will keep you close to the action and to the water.
Chatham: Nobody pulls off "quaint" quite like Cape Cod can, and Chatham is arguably the leader of the pack in bringing beachside New England charm to the table. The town is populated with friendly year-round residents (many of them commercial fishermen) who have deep roots to their town. Overfishing has begun to wreak havoc on local industry, but visitor spending has helped keep the town afloat in the face of adversity. Chatham juts out south from the Cape's "elbow," with long stretches of beach grass and gorgeous views. It has six major saltwater beaches that face the Atlantic and Nantucket Sound, some with calm, shallow water that's perfect for kids. There are also long stretches of wildlife refuges, parks, ponds and coves for anyone looking to enjoy the outdoor beauty of the northern coast.

Krita Scripting
Krita is a painting and image editing application for KOffice.
Krita comes with a bunch of plugins where the scripting plugin uses the Kross scripting framework to offer powerful scripting with Python, Ruby and KDE JavaScript.
The plugin consist of following parts;
The Krita Scripting Handbook (PDF) contains a full reference of the functionality accessible from within the scripting backends.
The Handbook is generated from the sourcecode using doxygen and KWord's Import Doxygen XML File python script.
Extensions are used to extend Krita with additional functionality written in Python, Ruby or KDE JavaScript scripts.
The following screenshot shows Krita running with it's on the right half displayed scripting-docker that is used to display scripts and fastly execute scripts. The image itself was created using the Random painting Ruby script.
Those extensions are also accessible from within the "Scripts"-menu and are distributed with Krita, so some default extensions are installed together with Krita as part of it, or could be later added and configured on demand using the "Script Manager".
Following sections try to provide an overview of the per default with Krita distributed scripting extensions.
The both scripts pilimport.py and pilexport.py are using the Python Imaging Library to import and export to the by PIL support image-formats.
The following screenshot shows the "Python Imaging Library Import" Python script pilimport.py once executed.
For GUI-related things you are also able to use PyQt4 or Tkinter in your python scripts, Korundum/QtRuby in your Ruby scripts, KjsEmbed4 (KjsEmbded4 is included in kdelibs4 now) in your JavaScript scripts or the more high-level Kross forms in all interpreter-backends.
Most parts of the pilimport.py Python script are related to GUI and preparation of the import-proccess. The core part of that script, so the part that does actualy do the import, looks like;
# import needed modules and initialize PIL
import Krita, Image, ImageFile
# read the imagefile and convert to RGB
pilimage = Image.open("/home/user/myimage.jpg")
pilimage = pilimage.convert("RGB")
# fetch the Krita layer we like to import to
krtlayer = Krita.image().activePaintLayer()
# scale the loaded image to fit
pilimage = pilimage.resize(
(krtlayer.width(), krtlayer.height()))
# let's use the progressbar
krtlayer.width() * krtlayer.height())
# finally do the import
krtlayer.beginPainting("PIL import")
it = krtlayer.createRectIterator(
0, 0, krtlayer.width(), krtlayer.height())
while (not it.isDone()):
data = pilimage.getpixel((it.x(), it.y()))
The pilexport.py Python script which does export a Krita image to a by the Python Imaging Library supported image-format looks then like;
# import needed modules and initialize PIL
import Krita, Image, ImageFile
# fetch the Krita layer we like to export
krtlayer = Krita.image().activePaintLayer()
# create the PIL image
pilimage = Image.new("RGB",
(krtlayer.width(), krtlayer.height()))
# finally do the export
it = krtlayer.createRectIterator(
0, 0, krtlayer.width(), krtlayer.height())
finesh = it.isDone()
while (not finesh):
(it.x(),it.y()), tuple(it.pixel()))
finesh = it.next()
# and save the result
The following three sample scripts are doing the exactly the same thing, that is invert the pixel of an image, and are written code-wise the same way while different scripting backends are used. It does provide us a way to compare the languages and to show, that the same rich API is accessible to all of them :)

The mechanical or electronic combination lock utilized by the safe shall have at least 10,000 possible combinations consisting of a minimum three numbers, letters, or symbols. The lock shall be protected by a case-hardened (Rc 60+) drill-resistant steel plate, or drill-resistant material of equivalent strength.
3. Boltwork shall consist of a minimum of three steel locking bolts of at least ½ inch thickness that intrude from the door of the safe into the body of the safe or from the body of the safe into the door of the safe, which are operated by a separate handle and secured by the lock.
4. Shall be capable of repeated use. The exterior walls shall be constructed of a minimum 12-gauge thick steel for a single-walled safe, or the sum of the steel walls shall add up to at least .100 inches for safes with two walls. Doors shall be constructed of a minimum of two layers of 12-gauge steel, or one layer of 7-gauge steel compound construction.
5. Door hinges shall be protected to prevent the removal of the door. Protective features include, but are not limited to: hinges not exposed to the outside, interlocking door designs, dead bars, jewelers lugs and active or inactive locking bolts.
All of the following requirements:
1. Is listed as an Underwriters Laboratories Residential Security Container;
2. Is able to fully contain firearms;
3. Provides for the secure storage of firearms.
I will vote for a donkey-sex maniac if he's pro-gun.

Hi everyone,I just joined the board. I had been at Votedoff.tv but I think it is gone by the wayside, not sure. I also played in Snews game and the mediawhore game until they went down so have been searching for a new home. I was going to sit out this year but just decided not to. I don't know how active I'll be but I need a new place to post and you all seem so nice here. Puddin I know you from old times. Just a thought. The team that might be in dire straights if they loose the next IC is Hiki (AA tribe). Taking me awhile to get the tribe names straight. From the previews I also think that Billy highlighted laying down eatting a chicken wing(I think that is what it it) looks like the dead weight.It is one phrase, "Dire Straights and Dead Weight" and even though it is two separate tribes I'm referring to, this is my first thought.
I was freaking losing it ! Talk about delusional ! the look on Jeffs face " Priceless "!

text: US courts affirm expansive discovery under 28 U.S.C. § 1782 International Arbitration Newsletter Share this 29 SEP 2015 By: Harout Jack Samra International litigants continue to rely on 28 U.S.C. § 1782 in disputes with US-based parties. While the statute was considered relatively obscure not long ago, it is now an important and frequently-used tool to obtain critical discovery – including the production of documents, interrogatories and even depositions – in support of foreign proceedings. As previously addressed here, courts in the United States have struggled with whether § 1782 discovery is available in connection with international commercial arbitration proceedings. However, apart from this enduring controversy, the statute has been interpreted broadly and can represent a significant strategic advantage to non-US parties attempting to obtain discovery from a US party and/or its affiliates. Despite the controversy, it also remains of interest to parties to international arbitrations involving US entities as a viable strategic option. Two recent cases addressed the statute's scope, including whether a sovereign state may request discovery under § 1782, and whether evidence obtained through the statute may be used by parties in subsequent civil litigation in the United States. Legal background 28 U.S.C. § 1782 permits any party or other interested person involved in proceedings taking place before a foreign or international tribunal (including proceedings not yet under way, but rather in "reasonable contemplation"), or the international tribunal itself, to make a request to a federal district court for an order compelling discovery from a person or entity that resides or is found in the district in which the court sits. Evidence obtained through § 1782 may be used in subsequent cases In Glock v. Glock Inc., et al., Case No. 14-15701 (11th Cir. August 17, 2015), the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals addressed the question of "whether § 1782 precludes the use, in civil litigation in the United States, of evidence previously obtained under the statute." The documents obtained through § 1782 were initially to be used in a divorce proceeding in Austria. However, just two years after the § 1782 petition, the party that filed the request initiated separate proceedings in the United States and sought to introduce the same documents. The defendants in the U.S. litigation objected, arguing that "documents obtained under § 1782 may not be used in domestic litigation." Focusing on the statute's language and legislative history, the court rejected the defendant's arguments, explaining that "[h]ad Congress intended to restrict the use of evidence previously obtained under § 1782 to proceedings in foreign or international tribunals, it easily could have expressed that intention in any number of ways." "As a general rule," the court held, "parties may use any evidence they lawfully possess." Sovereign states may request discovery under § 1782 In In re: Application of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Case No. 15-Misc.-0081 (S.D.N.Y. June 22, 2015), the court addressed the issue of whether a sovereign state is an "interested person" eligible to request discovery under the statute. While recognizing some disagreement among the courts as to whether a sovereign state may be ordered to produce documents under § 1782, the court concluded that no such controversy exists when the sovereign state is requesting discovery. The court grounded this conclusion on the statute's language, history and underlying policies, explaining that the language of the statute "was intended to broaden rather than narrow 'the scope of those who could seek judicial assistance.'" In re: Application of the Republic of Kazakhstan follows other precedent in which US courts have permitted discovery under § 1782 in investor-state arbitration (as distinct from commercial arbitration) and illustrates the increased awareness among state parties of the strategic advantages it offers. This case is also notable because the discovery requests arose from a challenge to an arbitration award in Sweden. Conclusions: ignore § 1782 at your peril Parties ignore § 1782 at their peril. Many commentators focus on the controversy generated by high-profile cases involving the statute, but this ignores the increasingly clear consensus among US courts giving § 1782 expansive reach. Parties to international arbitrations against US counterparties should continue to give careful consideration to the strategic value of a § 1782 request.

If your biggest worry is getting circus peanuts or conventional apples in your trick-or-treat bag tonight, hold on to your hat, because there are a LOT of scarier food issues these days. Here's a roundup of the most frightening: from genetically engineered salmon to chemicals in canned soups, you'll learn from these spooky issues why you should be carefully inspecting not only your trick-or-treating haul, but what you put into your mouth every day.
For the past few years, AquaBounty has been developing the genetically engineered "AquAdvantage salmon," also none-too-affectionately known as "Frankenfish." Just like Dr. Frankenstein, the company compiled bits of other animals to make their monster -- they used genes from Chinook salmon and ocean pout to creating a GE fish that can grow year round and reach market weight twice as fast as salmon in the wild. AquaBounty would like to have you believe that AquAdvantage is the future of sustainable fish production and is fighting for FDA approval. But it gets even creepier: USDA has given the company money to fund research to make Frankenfish sterile, effectively subsidizing the company's efforts toward this highly questionable technology. Like all GE products, GE salmon pose a threat to biodiversity. For more information, check out Chris Hunt's post GE Salmon: Swimming Away with Subsidies.
Deadly listeria cantaloupe outbreak
In September, an outbreak of listeria linked to consumption of tainted cantaloupes was tied to 25 deaths and 98 illnesses in 18 states. The illnesses were traced to consumption of Rocky Ford cantaloupes grown at Jensen Farms' fields in Granada, Colorado. An FDA investigation revealed that Jensen Farms, the farm responsible for what is now known as the nation's largest Listeria outbreak, allegedly strayed far from established food safety practices when handling their cantaloupes. The FDA has traced the deadly outbreak to the company's packing facility—and the bacteria most likely came from a farm truck used to haul cantaloupes to a cattle facility, where there was an increased risk of contamination via animal feces.
BPA – the dangerous chemical that lurks in your canned food
BPA – an ingredient in polycarbonate plastics – is one heck of a scary chemical—and what makes it even scarier is where it's used. BPA is known to be an endocrine-disrupting chemical that mimics the female sex hormone estrogen. Exposures have been linked to a wide range of problems including prostate and breast cancer, reproductive harm and abnormal development of the brain. This month, studies linked BPA to anxiety, depression and hyperactivity in girls at age 3. Scientists now also say that exposing a fetus or a young child to BPA confuses cell receptors, which may add to the risk of lifelong obesity. In many states, it is still legal to use BPA in baby bottles and sippy cups, which are a significant source of exposure during vulnerable periods of development. A study published in September from the Breast Cancer Fund shows that BPA is found in canned foods marketed specifically to kids, including Campbell's Disney Princess and Toy Story Soups.
Methyl Iodide in California's strawberry fields
Methyl iodide -- a pesticide linked to cancers, kidney problems, thyroid disease, late-term miscarriages and other health problems -- was approved for use in California by the Schwarzenegger administration in December of 2010 despite widespread opposition. In August of 2011, hundreds of people bombarded California Governor Jerry Brown's Facebook and Twitter accounts urging him to immediately ban the use of the cancer-causing pesticide, but to no avail. This month it appears as if California's strawberry fields will get their first dose of this scary chemical—contaminating the crops and putting neighbors in the line of fire.
Superweeds are on the rise
Genetic engineering sounds like the premise of a horror movie—and it might as well be with all the havoc it is wreaking on the environment. Genetic engineering has failed to increase the yield of any food crop, and instead has increased the use of chemicals and the growth of "superweeds." The prevalence of Monsanto's Roundup Ready GM crops has led to the increases of Roundup resistant weeds in the environment. Farmers and agronomists around the world are alarmed by the growing epidemic of superweeds developing a resistance to the herbicide. According to a new report by the Global Citizens Report on the State of GMOs, "The GMO Emperor has no Clothes," from November 2007 to January 2011, infested acreage in the U.S. has more than quintupled, from 2.4 to 12.6 million acres. In Brazil, researchers have reported that nine species have developed tolerance to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup.
The northeast pumpkin shortage
It turns out that the only thing scarier than the frightening faces carved onto pumpkins is sudden disappearance of jack-o-lanterns in northeastern states, thanks to a slew of natural disasters that befell pumpkin farmers earlier this year. First, spring rains pushed back the planting of pumpkin seeds. Then heavy rains over the summer caused outbreaks of phytophthora fungus, a type of mold that destroys the gourds. Finally, Hurricane Irene came through and flooded entire pumpkin patches. So if you live in the northeast, be prepared to throw down some serious dough for your pumpkin—or you can make the trek to other areas of the country, where the crop fared way better this season.

Charlotte-based home builder Rick Judson was elected as the 2012 first vice chairman of the National Association of Home Builders during the association's International Builders' Show in Orlando.
Judson is the owner of Evergreen Development Group in Charlotte, and has worked for several decades in land development and construction of single-family, multifamily and commercial projects.
In a statement, he said the trade group's focus will be to help home buyers and home builders gain better access to credit.
"As the housing industry begins to gradually emerge from its worst downturn since the Great Depression, our focus this election year will be to ensure that housing and homeownership remain a national priority," Judson said. "We will be urging policymakers to restore the flow of credit to home buyers and home builders alike, to resolve a faulty appraisal process that has negatively affected property values and to maintain a federal backstop for housing to keep homeownership affordable."
Judson has been active in the group's leadership structure at the local, state and national levels. He has served on NAHB's Board of Directors since 1979 and has been a member of the NAHB Executive Board since 2002. He has twice served as NAHB State Representative from North Carolina and is a two-time NAHB national area chairman representing North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. In 2008, he chaired the NAHB Housing Finance Task Force, which developed association policy relating to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Judson served as 2004 president of the North Carolina Home Builders Association and was named its associate of the year in 1988.
The National Association of Home Builders is a Washington-based trade association representing more than 140,000 members involved in home building, remodeling, multifamily construction, property management, subcontracting, design, housing finance, building product manufacturing and other aspects of residential and light commercial construction. NAHB is affiliated with 800 state and local home builders associations around the country. NAHB's builder members will construct about 80 percent of the new housing units this year.

It is a typical exercise that individuals would develop new houses for themselves, so what you really need is a relaxed house you really want to reside in for many decades to come.

MUSEUM CAMPUS — The last time Chicagoans had a chance to touch a stingray, at the Brookfield Zoo in 2008, a malfunction in the heating system caused the temperature to spike 10 degrees, killing 16 of the 33 rays overnight.
When the Shedd Aquarium's newest exhibit, "Stingray Touch," opens Friday, a staff of aquarists and facilities managers will be monitoring the outdoor pool 24/7 to ensure the optimum conditions for the 40 cownose and yellow rays who will live there until the late fall. Shedd staff said the system will help prevent a similar problem from taking place.
"We have a huge heat exchanger actually within the building that's all computer-controlled, and can maintain the temperature in the exhibit between 77 and 80 degrees, where it is usually," said Bill Van Bonn, Shedd's vice president of animal health. "That's obviously something we're very concerned about, being outdoors and in Chicago. So far it's been performing flawlessly, so we don't see an issue there."
The aquarium's first outdoor interactive exhibit consists of a 20,000-gallon pool with a three-part filtration system that pumps water through densely packed sand, a surface-cleaning skimmer and a "biological tower" filled with bacteria that eat the animals' waste and rebalance toxicity levels.
Each of the aquarium's habitats, including the Stingray Touch pool, are controlled and monitored using a "high-powered computer system, like a switchboard" that gives staff "complete control" over each exhibit's conditions, even remotely, Van Bonn said.
"The facilities guys walking around with their iPhones can look at all the data and make adjustments" from anywhere, he said. Security cameras trained on the pool are also monitored constantly to ensure any irregularities are spotted quickly.
"The days of coming around with a thermometer and finding out that there's a problem that happened several hours ago are pretty much done," Van Bonn said.
The tent constructed over the 80-by-22-foot habitat on the aquarium's south terrace is "more for the guests than the animals," who are accustomed to exposure to the sun and a climate similar to Chicago's in the summer and early fall, Van Bonn said.
The exhibit is expected to run through late fall or early winter, weather permitting, and is geared toward visitors 3 and older. Stingrays are social animals and don't mind being touched, aquarium president and CEO Ted Beattie said Tuesday, but their barbs have been removed as a precaution.
"It feels good, like a pillow, like a really, really soft pillow," a third-grade boy from St. Christopher's Catholic School in Midlothian said Tuesday after sticking his freshly washed hands in the tank during a sneak preview of the exhibit. "Or it kind of feels like the warm sand under your feet at the beach."
Admission to "Stingray Touch" is $5 per person ($3 for members) on top of the general Shedd admission prices. The exhibit is included in the aquarium's "Total Experience" package, which costs $37.95 per adult and $28.95 per child ages 3-11.

Ubisoft Realizing That Perhaps 'Pirate' Users Are Really Just Like 'Free To Play' Users Who Don't Pay
from the same-percentages dept
Yes, you read that right. According to Ubisoft's stats, when they determine how many copies of their DRM'd games are infringing vs. how many people play free to play games without ever paying... they're both right about 95%. From that you could make the argument that the people playing "for free" in either case, just aren't that interested in paying. Thus, cracking down on the infringement isn't likely to make much more money -- and, in fact, may be an expensive waste of time.

IRVINE, Calif. -- Scott Anderson was the winner of the shot put on the first day of the Big West Track & Field Championships, which are being held May 15-16 at UC Irvine's Anteater Stadium.
Anderson picked up his first career conference title with a new personal best of 59-4.25 (18.09m), which came on his final attempt. He improves his UCSB shot put record and earned 10 team points for the Gauchos. Anderson will also compete in the discus tomorrow afternoon.
Hector Serrano and Alex Umstead picked up points in the shot put as well, with Serrano placing fifth at 52-8 (16.05m) for four points and Umstead placing seventh at 51-6.25 (15.70m) for two points.
The women also had a successful day in the throwing events, as Irene Kujore threw the Regional mark in the discus for the second time this season. Her toss of 157-9 (48.08m) was good for second in the meet and eight team points for the Gauchos. Kujore earns All-Conference distinction with her performance.
Friday's running events opened with the steeplechase finals, and Katie Voigtlander placed fourth with a time of 10:48.29, earning five team points. Ari Selix also picked up a point in the steeplechase by finishing eighth at 11:13.55.
Voigtlander ran a tough double by entering the 10,000m later in the meet, and she scored in that race as well. Her time of 36:40.61 was good for sixth place and four points, and also places her 10th on the UCSB all-time list for the 10k.
Waleed Totari scored six points in the men's 10,000m by placing third at 30:36.38, which earns him All-Conference honors. Totari was able to break away from a group of seven runners who were bunched together with less than 800 meters to go.
Most of Friday's schedule consisted of qualifying heats for the remaining running events. A large number of Gauchos were able to qualify and will participate in the final heats, which will be contested tomorrow.
Jason Newland qualified in the 100m and 200m dashes with some of the fastest times of the day. He won his section in the 100m with a time of 10.75, which was the second-fastest preliminary time. He qualified for the 200m dash with the fastest preliminary time of the day - a 21.58.
Scott Smith and Ryan Martin both qualified comfortably in their middle distance races. Smith was the winner of his section in the 1500m with a time of 3:56.23. Martin took second in his section of the 800m with a time of 1:52.63. Also in the middle distances, Sarah Vitug qualified for the women's 800m finals with a time of 2:15.01.
Barbara Nwaba will compete in the finals of both hurdles races. She took third in her qualifying heat in the 100m hurdles with a time of 14.48, which gives her the sixth-best time heading into the finals. She ran the fourth-fastest time in the 400m hurdles with a 62.28.
Max Bellissimo qualified in the 400m dash by running 48.41, his best time of the season thus far. Drew Johnston qualified in the 400m hurdles with a preliminary time of 54.31.
The Big West Championships resume tomorrow with field events beginning at 11:00 a.m. and track events beginning at 4:00 p.m. All of tomorrow's events are finals, and the team championships will be awarded at the conclusion of the meet.

Visitors will recognize the world of the exhibit that opens today at the New Bedford Art Museum.
Visitors will recognize the world of the exhibit that opens today at the New Bedford Art Museum.
"Fall River," by new UMass Dartmouth gallery director Viera Levitt, shows I-195 in stark black and white as it lifts over the Braga Bridge, the two Brayton Point cooling towers looming in the distance; "Transition" by Pantea Karimi, a San Jose artist and a sister of one of the curators, offers a panoramic vision of the Wamsutta mill and the Wamsutta Club moving through time.
The two images are part of the 24-photograph show, "Exploring Urban Identities in De-industrialized Cities," which runs through Feb. 9 and celebrates the found beauty of urban decay in cities including New Bedford, Fall River, Lowell and Waltham.
"It's really important to celebrate what these places have to offer by reminding people of some of the good things "� We want to see hope for the future," said curator Pamela Karimi, an art history professor at UMass Dartmouth.
In "We Sold A Winner: Fall River, MA," Boston-based artist Edie Bresler shows the almost nostalgic, gentle glow of a Fall River corner store, its neon ATM and KENO signs quietly inviting; elsewhere photographer John Robson captures a vivid red door frame in a pile of gray rubbish, the silver sheen of a puddle.
Not all of the photographs are strictly representational: three delicate cyanotypes by John Wojtowicz evoke Impressionist paintings in their blue-washed presentation of stairwells and columns; Denn Santoro's "Separation of Church and Slate" provides an abstracted, sliced perspective of a Fall River roofline.
"There's something about Gateway cities that inspires the artistic community," said curator Pat Daughton, a local artist and cultural programming consultant, pointing to the contrast between past grandeur and present decay.
The world captured in the photographs also points to some of the problems faced by Gateway Cities, showing a de-peopled landscape that exists, sometimes at the expense of the natural environment.
It is striking that the sea appears in only two shots, both by UMass Dartmouth undergraduate Brandon Dunning, and in both cases gritty machinery or tires command the foreground, while the harbor, trees, the Palmer's Island lighthouse are glimpsed at a great remove.
As New Bedford officials struggle now to reconnect the city to the waterfront, slimming Route 18 to entice tourist traffic and making plans for a walking path atop the hurricane barrier, the exhibition suggests how much work still needs to be done.
"I'm not saying our intention is to celebrate decay or ugliness or the economy, it's just to bring awareness to them," said Karimi, who explained that she and her fellow curators, including Laura Ryan, decided on photography as the most faithful documentary medium and cast the exhibit in the tradition of Depression-era photographer Dorothea Lange.
The exhibit, a mix of work by well-known regional artists and UMass Dartmouth students, is funded by a grant from the UMass President's Creative Economy Initiatives Fund.
Curator Thomas Stubblefield said one goal of the exhibit is to engage the region's creative class and highlight their role in the urban revitalization of some cities, such as New Bedford.
It is also part of a broader program that includes a lecture series on a range of topics related to the post-industrial landscape that will be published in the Journal of Urban History, along with commentary on the photographs in the exhibit.
"It is academic but it's also so much about the community," Karimi said.
"Exploring Urban Identities in De-industrialized Cities" runs through Feb. 9 at the New Bedford Art Museum. Admission is free tonight as part of AHA!
