New collaborative Apache project announced
Apache DeltaSpike - a standardised repository for CDI extensions
Exciting news reaches us from the Apache Software Foundation, who have announced that the wheels are already in motion towards creating a standardised set of CDI extensions - step forward Apache DeltaSpike.
The project, in collaboration with JBoss, CDI Source and Apache MyFaces, is a collection of JSR-299 extensions that are used in developing Java SE and EE applications. Key committer, Shane Bryzak announced that the proposal was on its way to becoming a top level Apache project after being submitted to the Apache Incubator.
According to Apache MyFaces PMC, 'the first goal of DeltaSpike is to create an unified base for portable CDI extensions like CODI, Seam3' and then make this widespread amongst as many different vendors as possible. This entails the use of OpenWebBeans and Weld in combination with different servlet containers like Apache Tomcat as well as JavaEE servers like Apache TomEE, Glassfish, JBossAS, Resin and so on.
The initial codebase for Apache DeltaSpike will be populated with mature code donations from project members, including JBoss Seam3, Apache MyFaces CODI and CDISource.
Bryzak said the project came about through the need of developers that 'want an end-to-end framework that works, without having to piece together all the bits themselves and work out how to integrate them.' He stated the importance of this project remaining neutral without any corporate affiliation as well. This makes sense as only through a wider alliance can this project firstly, get off the ground and secondly, create a thriving community with quick releases to fix any issues.
He added in the DeltaSpike announcement
The first step we will take is to create a community-owned set of portable CDI extensions; a de-facto set of features that developers can take and use within their own applications, in whichever container they wish to deploy to. One of the major goals of this project is to grow and unify the Java EE community. By joining forces with other CDI extension developers, such as the Apache MyFaces CODI team and the CDISource team, as well as other key members of the Java EE community, our hope is to create a community that is stronger than the sum of its separate parts.
We're certainly excited to see how DeltaSpike grows over the next few months - the idea is certainly a novel and noble one and will hopefully make life easier for Java EE and SE developers, finally getting that quick and efficient end-to-end framework they've been crying out for.

The mascot for Vanderbilt University went crowd surfing during a men's basketball game on Tuesday, and a student in the crowd ended up with a major bloody nose.
It didn't happen because of the actual crowd surfing though. It happened when a bunch of fans tried to put the mascot back down on the bleachers, and he lost his balance.
The university hasn't explained exactly what happened yet, but it looks like the mascot tried to grab the guy to hold himself up, but ended up smacking him the face instead.

In a little over an hour the defending National Champion Louisville Cardinals take the court in their first regular season game of the year. Not only is this a special game because the National Championship banner will be raised before hand, but it also kicks of the 100th basketball season for the school. This is the first of many schedule wallpapers I will be posting in the next couple of days, and I thought it was right to start off celebrating a milestone for the program.

Former Giant, Patriot Meggett Gets 30 Years For Burglary, Sex Charges
Charleston, SC, United States (AHN) – Former New York Giant and New England Patriot David Meggett was sentenced to 30 years in prison Wednesday after his conviction in a South Carolina court on charges of criminal sexual conduct and burglary.
Meggett, who played in the NFL from 1989 to 1998, was convicted in a case involving an encounter with a college student at her house in North Charleston in January 2009, according to authorities.
Meggett, who attended high school in North Charleston, played six years with the New York Giants, three with the New England Patriots and one with the New York Jets.
The 42-year-old did not take the stand in his own defense during the trial and plans to appeal according to his lawyer. Beattie Butler of the Charleston County Public Defender's Office argued that Meggett and the woman had consensual sex and later had an argument.
This was not the first time Megget has run afoul of the law.
Meggett was arrested in Toronto in 1998 for allegedly assaulting an escort after a sexual encounter. His trial on the assault charge ended with a hung jury in April 2000.
Meggett went on to the position of parks and recreation director in Robersonville, N.C., but resigned four years ago after he was accused of sexually assaulting his former girlfriend.
He was convicted of misdemeanor sexual battery in 2007, receiving received two years probation.

[QUOTE=PlumberKhan]I would of figured that you would be a supporter of opening ANWAR for drilling.
I pretty much personally against it. Some of my family lives up there, I have gone to visit them a few times...Alaska is freaking unbelievably beautiful. I would hesitate marring a pretty much otherwise pristine landscape with oil equipment...
But I haven't any plans to visit them anytime soon...and with the way gas keeps creeping up there, I might overlook a bit if it resulted in cheaper gas. Besides, I'm sure a lot can be done to keep the landscape the way it is and drill for oil at the same time.
And I don't think my uncle would mind at all...he works as an electrician for some oil subcontractor up there. He used to work for the phone company but got tired of it...
BTW...which votes are you referring to that point to the fact that Ron Paul is a protectionist?[/QUOTE]

Well, we're still approximately seven months away from the premiere of True Blood season 7, and while that's ENTIRELY TOO MANY MONTHS, at least -- at least!! -- the spoilers have started rolling in. Thank you, TV gods, for giving us a reason to get up in the morning again!! Seriously, a life without half-naked Alexander Skarsgard on a weekly basis is no kind of life at all. And -- are you sitting down??!! -- according to the very best spoiler of all time, it sounds like Skarsgard's character, Eric Northman, is NOT dead (I KNEW IT!). WOO-HOO!!! And not only is Eric going to be ALIVE, he's -- oops! I almost spilled the beans! If you want to know what's on the horizon for Eric Northman (not to mention Bill, Sookie, Alcide, Pam, Lafayette, and the rest), you'll just have to scroll down to our amazing, life-changing list of True Blood season 7 spoilers!!
Oh-kay! You ready?? ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?!?! Here goes:
1. Eric Northman is getting a new love interest! Sorry Sook, but what did you expect, starting a big fat "relationship" with Alcide?? Apparently Eric will be hooking up with a new character named "Sylvie," who is "gorgeous" and can "speak French." (That's all we know so far.) Why not a Swede?
2. Warlow will be back, stronger than before. Uh-oh. This can't be good news for anyone, can it? Or can it? We were starting to get pretty fond of Rob Kazinsky's face, if you know what we mean.
3. The first episode of season 7 will include a "major" death. AND Stephen Moyer is directing!
4. Tara's mom will have a bigger part than ever. Does this mean poor Tara's "life" is going to get even crazier? Her mom isn't exactly the most stable influence. Or is her mom doomed to cross the line into undead territory? What would Jesus say??
5. Those creepy hordes of Hep V-infected vamps are nothing like the vamps we know and love. According to showrunner Brian Buckner, they're "weaker and driven by a need to eat in a way that the vampires that we've come to know are not. They have to drink human blood in larger quantities and more frequently than before." Yikes.
What are you looking forward to the most about True Blood season 7?
Image via HBO
Can't say I'm all that excited about this. I hate Tara's mom and have no interest in seeing that cow do anything except disappear. As for Warlow...that's just stupid. The major death could be interesting, depending on who it is they're offing. And finally these new weak HepV vamps...no interest, I don't care for the zombie like creatures. Also don't care for Eric's new love interest. Just not excited about any of this at all tbh. Glad it's the last season, I just hope they end it better than the author did.

He also vetoed a provision concerning school vouchers that doesn't have a major impact on the statewide program. I'm somewhat indifferent about the bail bondsmen veto; I didn't have strong feelings either way. I was pretty sure Walker was going to veto the WCIJ provision. As for Walker's argument that the Board of Regents should be the body that deals with the policy of who gets freebies on campus he may or may not be aware of the can of worms he opened. Media Trackers, the MacIver Institute and any other conservative outlet you can think of should be headed to Madison with its hand fully extended, looking for their rent free, utilities free and internet free facilities on the UW campus.
Some feel that Walker bowed to the Madison well-connected in deciding to veto this provision. Maybe. But I suspect this part of Walker's preexisting effort to bend over backwards not to appear that he's doing anything to stifle free speech. I disagree with this veto, even though I saw it coming.

MOOCs: Here to Stay or Flash in the Pan?
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are sweeping the country and libraries and librarians are watching this development carefully. This series of four webinars will help librarians gain an understanding of the complexity of the MOOC "movement," learn how to support students and faculty engaged with MOOCs, become familiar with the copyright and intellectual property requirements in relation to MOOCs, and hear what the future may hold for MOOCs.
The webinar series will conclude on December 11, 2013 with a presentation by Jonathan Grudin, principal researcher in the Natural Interaction Group at Microsoft Research. Are MOOCs here to stay, or are they a flash in the pan? The MOOC movement is still in its infancy. Jonathan will let us know whether he is optimistic or pessimistic about the future of MOOCs.

An Embassy Ceiling not only looks better than a conventional suspended ceiling, it also eats up less headroom. Once installed, the bottom of the cross members lies a mere 1 3/4 inches below the bottom edge of the joists. Both the cross members and the 2x2 panels are made from MDF with a laminated paper finish. They come in three colors: white, coffee, and maple. As with any suspended ceiling, the panels can be lifted in and out of the frame. The system costs $4.15 to $4.50 per square foot, including panels, cross members, and all hardware.

Test-Driving Porsche
November 19th, 2013
"I love watching myself have sex," Porsche Dali said. "I really get into masturbating when I'm watching myself fuck someone on screen. I am a very visual person and watching a hard cock pound my pussy gives me a screaming orgasm!" Porsche is Mr. Stone's fuck toy here; submissive and docile. Porsche is learning new fuck positions every day and improving her sex skills in her goal to be a famous hardcore movie star in the big girl league. XL Girls like Porsche usually need a bigger fuck-mate who can dominate and control them. Porsche finds that in Stone, a man who likes to position his sex dates like love dolls for his pleasure and knows how to show the girls off best on-camera. Porsche gets warmed up for dick submersion. She needs a tongue job. She lays back on the bed and spreads her legs open for his tongue to lick her pussy-hole. Porsche kneels to suck and tit-fuck his hardening shaft. She has had many cocks sliding through her deep cleavage and down her throat and she will have many more new ones in the future. She is not one to sit at home waiting for things to happen or guys to call her. She discovered that she enjoys being photographed while she is being fucked. It's hotter than sex back home. Stone mutters orders to his blonde babydoll of the day in quiet tones. Porsche obeys. Her body is his to fuck; her cheeks are his to bulge with cock.

Ryner said:
In this second book in the Wideacre trilogy, Julia and her cousin Richard have grown up together among the ruins of their family estate and have always planned to marry, despite their guardians' disapproval. When, as a teenager, Julia begins to demonstrate a talent for working with the land and its inhabitants, Richard grows resentful. After all, only one of them can be the rumored favored child, the true heir to Wideacre.
Gregory's early works are starting to remind me of V.C. Andrews' style of near-horror stories, only with richer detail and better writing. I really wanted to strangle Julia for her stupidity at times. Yes, she was confined within the role of women in her time, but had she told someone – anyone! – what was happening, at least some of the tragedy might have been avoided.

Part 2 of 3. Wideacre Trilogy. I liked this one a lot. Although, I think the first, Wideacre, was the best.

Miley Cyrus: The latest victim of spotlight at an early age
The spotlight has it's way of changing you whether you like it or not. A lot of stars who get involved with the scene at an early age tend to spiral out of control under the pressure of their new found fame.
The most recent evidence of this is the spectacle that Miley Cyrus displayed at the 2013 VMA's. She performed her new single We Can't Stop and a duet with Robin Thicke performing his hit single Blurred Lines. The talking point of the show, was her entrance in a big fluffy bear, her scantily clad outfits and her raunchy dancing during the songs. She has been known to have already shed her Hanna Montana identity and has already spoken out about drug use, alcohol consumption and such, but the performance shocked the world into realising that she isn't a little girl anymore.
Here's a list of some other child stars who broke under the pressure of stardom.
Macaulay Culkin
The little boy who acted in the Home Alone series and dated Mila Kunis for nearly 10 years admitted after years that he had been addicted to heroine and prescription drugs, the latter of which bought him an arrest. He has also admitted to smoking marijuana.
Haley Joel Osment
The Sixth Sense actor was arrested in 2006 for driving under the influence. He crashed is car suffering from minor injuries and was briefly hospitalised. He was also charged for possession of Marijuana.
Britney Spears
Britney Spears was America's sweetheart, until she finally broke. Since the mid 2000's she's been in and out of rehab centres, spur of the moment marriages and at one point she walked into a salon and shaved her head showing the public that she had officially reached breaking point. Fortunately, since then Spears' has sobered up and is continuing with her music career.
Amanda Bynes
Bynes was the poster child of Nickelodeon at one point, appearing in flagship shows like All That and The Amanda Show. However as she grew older she's had continuing brushes with the law, being arrested for vehicular crimes as well as for possession. She continues to unravel in the public eye, recently deemed not of sound mind with all financial decisions being temporarily transferred to her mother.
Lindsay Lohan
No child star has fallen furhter than Lindsay Lohan. Can anyone even remember the sweet innocent girl from The Parent Trap? Her various brushes with the law and her court appearances have over shadowed what could have been a flourishing career. Lohan has been in and out of rehab and has been seen intoxicated in public on numerous occasions.

But he is Spike because he drove rail spikes through people's skulls. He was pretty evil at some point. Funny, but evil.
But that is the thing you see.
Soul = Conscience. No Soul = No Conscience. He wants, he does. Concepts like Wrong or Right mean nothing. Every vampire is like that. However Spike, I'd say was one of the most human vampires ever.
When compared to Angel who is an outright monster and maniac, Spike never acted out of pure evil intent and most of stuff was either connected to his human self(even the torture with railroad spikes happened to the people who made fun of his poetry when he was human). He never did something for outright sake of evil. It was always Drusila, holding her attention, supporting her, not letting Angel take her. He was playing a role of villain to woo a girl. And even that Spike had certain sense of self-loathing of what he became.
Once Drusilla was out of the picture, Spike's more human qualities resurfaced.
But he never was someone who would be defined as vilain. He was Buffy's antagonist and Angel's FOIL, but thats it.

Thank you for all our responses to "What nole means to you?" We compiled the answers/messages here Have a look :D ♥
A few days ago, we revealed our other nole project which was a tribute video we had been working on:
Today, Novak watched it and sent us this reply!!
Novak and his team dancing along "Somebody that I used to know" in Roland Garros's locker rooms [x]
I love them so much :3
2012 thus far - 1 Grand Slam title, 1 Masters Series title
it hasn't been the historic season it was last year but we still have a Grand Slam title under our belt. of the three played so far it was the hardest fought. oh and after the Olympics, it's back to hard court :)
Hey guys! Here at Team Novak we have some exciting Novak projects lined up for you.
For this project we want to know What does Nole mean to you? We want to know why you love and support Novak Djokovic, so send your responses to our ask box HERE
The responses will be collected for an exclusive project so stay tuned :)
…and Cat got the brilliant idea to collect all our replies under one big graphic you can find HERE!!!!
It doesn't matter from how long you have been supporting him though, the important thing is to be there for him till the end!!
As promised, scans of The Times about the importance of Novak's team, written by Neil Harman.
Tennishead magazine looks ahead to its contenders for Wimbledon :)
We are so happy because Nole saw this beautiful graphic one of us (Cat, all the credit to her!) made for Jelena's birthday and he liked it!!
and he even favorited it!! :D
It really means a lot to us :) Thanks again, Nole!!
Getting ready for Wimbledon 2012: the countdown ♥
Rafael Nadal def. Novak Djokovic: 6-4, 6-3, 2-6, 7-5


text: There's also the special arrows like arrows of piercing or arrows of detonation which can trivialize many encounters in the game, including the final battle. It's a bit different in BG2 because unless you go with the archer kit for rangers, ranged combat kinda sucks and most bows have very unspectacular enchantments compared to melee weapons. Not even the +5 bows in ToB are particularly good and I fear even a kensai with throwing axes would outperform most archers.

Player Power Rankings
Stamkos Making A Charge
by Tom Awad
These rankings are based on games through December 18th.
OGVT: Offensive GVT
GGVT: Goaltending GVT
DGVT: Defensive GVT
SGVT: Shootout GVT
GVT: Total GVT
Rank Player OGVT/GGVT DGVT SGVT GVT
1. Claude Giroux, F, Philadelphia Flyers 8.9 1.6 -0.3 10.2
Comment: Giroux was a serious MVP contender through 30 games, but his concussion has been a huge blow both to his chances and his team's status as the East's team to beat.
2. Jonathan Toews, F, Chicago Blackhawks 7.3 2.4 0.4 10.1
Comment: Toews is among the NHL's leaders in goals, points, drawn penalties, and faceoff winning percentage, and his team is first in the standings. If you're looking for the league's best player, here he is.
3. Marian Hossa, F, Chicago Blackhawks 7.9 2.5 -0.5 10.0
Comment: At 32, Hossa is the oldest among the NHL's top 10 scorers, and the third oldest among the top 20, being six months younger than Pavel Datsyuk and almost nine years younger than Teemu Selanne.
4. Steven Stamkos, F, Tampa Bay Lightning 8.6 1.9 -0.5 10.0
Comment: Stamkos has regained the lead in goals, and unlike previous seasons, he's not just piling them on during the power play: he also leads with 16 even strength goals.
5. Patrick Sharp, F, Chicago Blackhawks 7.6 2.4 -0.3 9.7
Comment: While Sharp has been on the ice, the Blackhawks have outshot their opponents by 11 shots (34-23) per 60 minutes.
6. Phil Kessel, F, Toronto Maple Leafs 8.5 1.4 -0.3 9.6
Comment: Kessel's stats continue to look unsustainable, with a 17% shooting percentage and points on 26 of the Leafs' 28 even strength goals while he was on the ice. It's unlikely he'll maintain his scoring lead until the end of the season.
7. Joffrey Lupul, F, Toronto Maple Leafs 6.8 1.6 1.0 9.4
Comment: Lupul has his coach's confidence this season: he's getting 19:04 of ice time per game compared to 15:37 last season (split between the Leafs and Ducks).
8. Evgeni Malkin, F, Pittsburgh Penguins 8.0 0.9 0.5 9.4
Comment: Welcome back, Evgeni! It's been some time since Malkin's been counted among the league's elite, but 12 points in his last six gamesincluding five in an 8-3 drubbing of Buffalohave him back in the top five scorers and top 10 GVT.
9. Patrik Elias, F, New Jersey Devils 6.0 1.9 0.9 8.8
Comment: For those of you not old enough to remember, Elias was once a fearsome scorer (now the Devils' all-time leader) and ranked third in skater GVT in 2000-01. His scoring, two-way play, and 3-for-5 success in the shootout have him back in the top 10.
10. Daniel Sedin, F, Vancouver Canucks 7.6 1.2 0.0 8.7
Comment: Daniel has slowed down since last year, but he and Henrik still lead the league with 16 power-play points each.
Player Power Rankings: Goalies
1. Tim Thomas, G, Boston Bruins 19.7 -0.5 2.1 21.3
Comment: Just like last season, Thomas is making a mockery of the GVT race and the Vezina race, and once again playing well enough to bring up the eternal question: "Can a goaltender win the league MVP?"
2. Brian Elliott, G, St. Louis Blues 14.2 0.4 0.0 14.6
Comment: Elliott continues to dominate the GAA and save percentage columns, but he'll need to play more than half the Blues games to challenge for the title of best goaltender.
3. Jimmy Howard, G, Detroit Red Wings 13.5 0.8 0.0 14.3
Comment: Howard has been particularly effective at even strength, where he sports a .942 save percentage on 533 shots.
4. Henrik Lundqvist, G, New York Rangers 14.6 -0.2 -0.1 14.3
Comment: For the first time in six years, Lundqvist is starting less than 80% of Rangers games, and for once the team is not on the razor's edge between eighth and ninth place in the Eastern Conference.
5. Jonathan Quick, G, Los Angeles Kings 13.0 -0.1 -0.4 12.5
Comment: Quick was blitzed for three goals on seven shots against the Red Wings on Saturday, but he remains a bright spot in what has become a troubled season in Los Angeles.

The Greenest Laptop in existence is officially going on sale for everyone, starting Monday, November 12th! But act fast...because it'll only be available for two weeks. While the laptop was originally designed for a market that is quite different from American Christmas shoppers, the One Laptop Per Child XO is likely going to pfizer levitra 50mg sell pretty well...for a few interesting reasons.
First, you get to feel good about your gadget. Not only does the $100 XO consume less power than any other laptop while looking to last longer than the average 3-year computer, you also cannot buy one for yourself (or your child) without donating one to a child in a developing nation.
This "$100" laptop can only be purchased for that price by governments and www.auburg.de NGOs. If you want one for youself, you'll have to pay a much more significant $400, the profits of which will buy one for a child in a developing nation and help finance the OLPC project.
The computers come with a web browser, a writing pad, an integrated video camera, and wireless Internet, and there are a variety of options for powering the maximum dose tramadol device, from solar power to a hand crank! It's a great gift for an EcoGeek, or a child who can learn about computers while learning about the developing world. I'm totally sold on this one...even if $400 is a ridiculously high price for what you actually get.

I represent OLPC and I wanted to clarify a few things. The XO Laptop is $188 each. The Give One Get One program buys two laptops for $399-one for your child and another one for a child in the developing world. The cost covers warranty, shipping and handling. The goal of cialis england the Give One Get One initiative is to raise awareness of the program and encourage other countries to adopt the program. After a certain amount of countries begin using the laptop, the price will go down and eventually will sell for $100 or less! The economic model is set up so that as demand increases, per unit price will decrease to the goal price of $100. T-Mobile also partnered with OLPC and will be giving one year free HotSpot membership to anyone how takes advantage of the Give One Get One program.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
I was totally captivated with this story. I almost felt that I was the one trudging through the blowing snow looking for my lost son.
I felt that the book did a wonderful job of depicting life in Canada as it truly was in the mid 1800s. There were decent people and there were ruthless people during those times - both white and native. The policies of the Hudson's Bay Company were also examined in an impartial way. There were some truly terrible practices that were used to keep the native people tied to the Company but there was also a certain amount of assistance given.
I am looking forward to reading future novels written by this author.
I haven't had such a love/hate relationship with a novel in years.
the setting, the characters, the world-building, the visuals, and the story.
the style/structure.
It's aggravatingly apparent that Penney is a screenwriter first and a beginner novelist. Parts of the book are grossly underwritten and sweeping visuals stand in for logical segues. But at the same time, the setting is a character in its own right and gets to play (wonderfully) with metaphor.
Can I give it 3.5 stars? Parts are really wonderful, especially the longest, most fully written scenes.
Also, yay for more historical queer romance. :)
The 1976 Costa Book of the Year, The Tenderness of Wolves by Stef Penney is a complex story of life and murder in a small Canadian wilderness community during the winter of 1867. Lucy Ross discovers the body of her fur trapper/trader neighbour, scalped and with his throat slashed, and as the hue and cry rises, it is also found that her seventeen year old son has gone missing. The son, Francis, becomes the main suspect and the trail leads to another small community founded by a Norwegian religious sect and on to a Hudson's Bay Post.
The story it told mostly by Lucy Ross, but shifts to other characters' point of view in alternating chapters. This, for me, kept me both from becoming attached to any character and also for the story to become rather drawn out and muddied. The characters in this story come across as real and well fleshed out, but there were so many side stories that the book eventually became a rather frustrating read. Stories about two young girls who went out berry picking and disappeared into the wilderness, a Norwegian couple who indulge in an adulterous affair, and mysterious carvings that could possibly be proof of a Indian written language. These were all intriguing and would almost warrant their own book but in this book they eventually became distractions that pulled the readers' attention away from the main plot.
There is no doubt that Stef Penney is an extremely talented author, but for me, I would have preferred a shorter, tighter story that kept the main story more as the main focus of the book.
Backwoods Canada in the 1860s. There's a murder and lots of well drawn characters that want to know why. The relationships between these characters are particularly well drawn, as is the landscape. Very satisfying.
An amazing story of search and mystery in the days when Canada was nothing but wilderness, ruled by the Hudson Bay Company and travelled by fur traders and Natives.
Searchers follow searches, all trying to unravel various mysteries about murder, codes, and disappearances. There are many POVs, which allow the reader clues to the story as it slowly, artfully unravels. It's both good and bad that the various different story lines are not all neatly tied up at the end, but they are in a (mostly) satisfactory way.
If you liked [book:The Last Crossing] by [author:Guy Vanderhaeghe] you should read this book! (Or vice versa)
I read The Tenderness of Wolves and fell into the story right away; the characters were well drawn and Penney is able to lead the reader from one page to the next.
There are few things like an endless vista to make a novel seem really gratifyingly contained. The novel itself comes to seem like a fragile bubble of consciousness beyond whose limits is a threatening void. (And that's what novels, in one essential manner, are.) And living in the rudimentary civilisation of mid 19th-century Canada must have been like living in a novel: there is nothing to concentrate on except the flawed characters of your fellow human beings, and the spoor left by their movements. And that, in a way, is all The Tenderness of Wolves is about.

1867. Winter has just tightened its grip on Dove River, an isolated settlement in Canada's Northern Territory, when a man is brutally murdered. A local woman, Mrs. Ross, stumbles upon the crime scene and sees tracks leading from the dead man's cabin north toward the forest and the tundra beyond. But soon she makes another discovery: her son has disappeared and is now considered a prime suspect. A variety of outsiders are drawn to the crime and to the township--but do they want to solve the crime or exploit it? One by one, searchers set out to follow the tracks across a desolate landscape, variously seeking a murderer, a son, two sisters missing for seventeen years, and a forgotten Native American culture before the snows settle and cover the tracks of the past for good.--From publisher description.… (more)

News Channel 11 continues to monitor the dangers and impact of a landslide that's wiped out an Avery County lifeline. The North Carolina community is trying to comprehend the fallout from such devastation. Those living just below, woke Monday night to the horrifying site of a landslide pummeling toward their home. Two days later, crews are gone - and only caution cones remain.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation tells us at this time, there's nothing anyone can do except monitor the situation as more rain approaches. NC DOT will be accepting bids for contractors in what is called a highly complicated project.
Among locals out to get a look at the damage first hand, was County Commissioner Glenn Johnson.
"Certainly it's an economic impact, I would think particularly on Newland. This is a 3-way, many people use it as a connector between Interstate 40 and Interstate 81. A lot of trucks roll through here, and of course they're not allowing trucks at the present time through the old Blevins Creek Road. It's very crooked, and they're urging all non-local traffic to either travel 19E or go by 194 by Banner Elk," Johnson said.
NC DOT tells News Channel 11 once a contractor is chosen, the project is estimated to take two to three months.

A man has been arrested in connection with an arson fire in Glendale on April 30.
The suspect, whose name was not released, faces multiple criminal charges, said Glendale Fire Department spokesman Michael Young.
Fire crews determined a fire in a storage shed at 6700 N. 59th Dr. was deliberately set. The fire quickly spread to dry oleanders, others storage sheds on the property and finally to an occupied duplex.
The suspect, who lives at the home with his girlfriend, admitted that he ignited the shed, which was occupied as a living space by a mutual friend, Young said. The friend suffered minor burns to his leg but refused treatment.
Witnesses identified the suspect, who fled the scene prior to the arrival of fire and police officials.

A local billboard ad did more than just capture the attention of people in Norcross, it has scared several children.
The billboard, which shows an advertisement for Georgia Prosthodontics, is located right next to a daycare called Legacy Academy at Berkeley Lake.
The ad shows a before-and-after close-up photo of a person in need of dental work and what that person's smile looks like after the work is done.
Ami Bombardieri, the director of the daycare, said she's had many children in tears over the photo on the billboard.
My biggest concern is that it's not age appropriate," Bombardieri said.
Bombardieri told CBS Atlanta News parents have requested that the ad be removed so their children don't have to look at it.
"They're afraid to go outside on the playground because it overlooks their playground and these are little toddlers, and it's just not OK," Bombardieri said.
Gordon Tomlinson said his 3-year-old daughter won't even look at the billboard when he picks her up from daycare.
"She at first started crying, 'Daddy, that's a scary billboard,' and covered her eyes and every time she goes outside, she covers her eyes and runs straight to the car," Tomlinson said.
Jordon London said his son also doesn't like the billboard.
"Well, he's covered his eyes before, but generally he just doesn't like it," London said. "He just thinks it's a scary image and it bothers him."
Staff at Legacy Academy said they contacted both the dental and billboard companies a few weeks ago, but never got a response.
However, once CBS Atlanta News contacted both parties on Thursday, they issued an apology and said they would be replacing the billboard within five days.
"That would be absolutely wonderful and really all I was asking for - not necessarily for them to take it down, because I do understand they need to market since they're a company because it's advertising - was just to switch the two pictures," Bombardieri said. "The picture on the other side is an older lady, a regular happy looking lady. So if they would switch that the children would see that and that's all we were asking for."
Thursday afternoon, an attorney for Dr. Carlos Castro, the owner of Georgia Prosthodontics, gave the following statement to CBS Atlanta News:
"Recently, Dr. Carlos Castro, owner of Sonria Dental Care/Georgia Prosthodontics, received notification that the children attending Legacy Academy Berkeley Lake may be frightened by their billboard that is located on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard [Norcross, Gwinnett County]. Dr. Castro, who is extremely concerned about the health, safety and welfare of children, is working diligently with CBS Outdoor to ensure that the billboard is immediately removed. Dr. Castro sincerely regrets any type of inconvenience that this may have caused the parents of the children that attend Legacy and offers his sincere apology to the children that attend Legacy, Legacy Academy and the surrounding community. Hopefully, with the assistance of CBS Outdoor, the billboard will be immediately removed."

This cleanser will wash off all your make up but will strip your face of all moisture.
it gave me distgusting dry skin. it's not meant for normal to dry skin. i wont use again.

I would give this a 2.5, if I could. I love Clinique, but rather dislike this product.
It definitely leaves a residue; perhaps a starchy residue, but I'm not sure. Initially it feels like your face is clean, but you soon notice the residue!
Its good points are that it is sulphate and fragrance free. However I do prefer to have a slight scent to all my washes, and you can find less expensive (and more effective) sulphate-free washes. I recommend Soap & Glory Face Soap. It is sulphate free, has a gentle scent and is £7. It also leaves your face comfortably clean and bright.
Holy eye burn batman!! I used a sample of this and my eyes were burning until I got it rinsed off. It did get all the eye make up off but it burned like crazy until then. It also got my face make up off.

This product works amazing!!!! Took all my makeup off fast and even my water proof eyeliner and mascara!!! It left my skin feeling fresh and tight!!
oh my gosh. I hated this so much! it didn't remove my makeup, stung my eyes, and left my skin feeling waxy and dry. sticking to Purity rather than this.

My favorite cleanser. I have combination skin, and this makes my skin feel very clean but not stripped. I use it with my Dermalogica face brush, and I'm always happy when I can see how much makeup it gets off. Also, I use an oily eye makeup remover before washing my face, and this cleanser is gentle enough to use around my eyes to get rid of any of that residue. Awesome!

I loved the consistency of this cleanser (very creamy) but ultimately am not a fan. It didn't really foam and it felt like the cleanser just sat on my face. Yuck!
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I only used this when I was bought it as a gift, and then subsequently i used the little mini freebies. personally Im a bit meh about this. It foams up amazingly, and feels soft, but it left my skin feeling less than clean even though all makeup had gone. I think it was just the way it was!! Wouldnt repurchase!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have tried other cleansers and have yet to find one as good as this. It literally makes your skin feel squeaky clean and takes off all your make up. However, keep it away from your eyes,it stings like hell!

I gave this cleanser a fair try- I've used it for two weeks and I absolutely hate it. It doesn't take my makeup off, it seems to strip my skin of all its natural oils and it leaves a film on my face. I have combination skin and my entire face has never felt as dry as when I use this cleanser. I did a little research and found out that this product is meant to be used with two other products- a lotion beforehand to take off makeup and you're supposed to use another cleanser after this one. I think that's absolute BS. I understand that one product can't do everything but I expect a face wash to at least take off most of my face make up and NOT strip my skin and make it dry.
I will not be buying this again.

Whitman takes over, but can she fix HP?
The former eBay CEO was named chief of Hewlett-Packard Thursday afternoon. While she grew the auction site dramatically, cutting the fat at bloated HP will be a different challenge. Can she pull it off?
Can former eBay CEO Meg Whitman fix Hewlett-Packard?
HP's board named Whitman their new chief this afternoon, after two days of reports the move was imminent.
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) shares soared as much as 10% Wednesday on rumors that the tech giant's board could be kicking chief executive Leo Apotheker to the curb, with Whitman waiting in the wings. Shares fell almost 5% on Thursday, a little worse than the market overall.
But don't be fooled -- this is just the latest dumb move at Hewlett-Packard, a company plagued not just by a revolving door in the corner office but by a glue-and-sticky-tape approach to its current ugly state of affairs.
I won't bore you with a laundry list of HP missteps during the past few years. They are many and well-known. (I previously wrote a column about how Hewlett-Packard embodies everything that's wrong with corporate America, for anyone who wants an in-depth look at this dumpster fire of a company.)
That's all in the past. What's most troubling is that, after almost $30 billion in buyouts since 2008 -- $10 billion for Autonomy + $1.2 billion for Palm + $2.7 billion for 3Par + $2.35 for 3Com + $13.6 billion for Electronic data systems -- there are much more corporate shenanigans going on than there is growth to manage.
- Another view: Whitman could be great for H-P

Meaning that even if you want to give Whitman the benefit of the doubt and grant her 100% credit for the success of eBay, the Hewlett-Packard mess is just too different a situation for her to be a good fit.
Here are five reasons Whitman won't be able to fix Hewlett-Packard:
No corporate IT experience. Whitman's tenure at eBay was fundamentally defined by a connection with consumers. Even the "sellers" on the auction site are largely average Joes and tiny out-of-the-garage businesses. Before that, she worked at Hasbro (HAS) to market Playskool and Mr. Potato Head. That's a far cry from cloud computing, tech support, networking hardware and bulk computer sales to Fortune 500 companies. On the plus side, her consumer focus might be able to help prop up HP printer and laptop sales, with Hewlett-Packard killing its TouchPad tablet amid the Apple (AAPL) iPad craze and planning to spin off its PC business. It might make sense to appoint Meg Whitman the CEO of this smaller consumer-focused division, but it makes no sense to appoint her now. She is ill suited for the very big-business nature of corporate IT sales, which is HP's core business.
Her heart might not be in it. Let's be honest: Whitman is 55 years old with a net worth of over $1 billion and the bragging rights of building one of the most iconic names in the tech sector. What does she have left to prove? And what incentive does she have for the 60-hour workweeks that will be required to quickly fix the mess at HP? It takes guts and determination to race into a burning building like this, and perhaps Meg Whitman has it. But investors should have serious doubts. She ran for governor in 2009, for Pete's sake. If aspiring to become a politician isn't waiving the white flag on a serious business career, I don't know what its.
It's not growth HP needs but strategy. Whitman joined eBay on March 1998, when it had 30 employees and the site was a simple, ugly web page. Juxtapose that with Hewlett-Packard, which got its humble beginnings in 1935 and had one of its namesake founders on the board until 1993. Thanks to decades of growth and expansion, the behemoth now boasts a list of products, divisions and services that boggles the mind. In short, it's not growth HP needs, but streamlining and strategy. Leading a fast-growth business like eBay and taking it public is no small task, and kudos to Whitman for her success on that front. But frankly, those experiences don't compare at all to the task of hacking through the weeds at HP. There's a reason why many of the best entrepreneurs often sell out of a company once it gets big-time and then start fresh on another start-up — because they understand the very different leadership roles in small and big businesses. This is not to say that Whitman is incapable of the task, just that all of her previous experiences mean very little — and she would have to have the self-awareness of this going in.

Buyouts are the bane of HP's existence. Along the same lines of growth vs. strategy, at eBay, Whitman's biggest feather in her cap was the 2002 PayPal acquisition for $1.5 billion. Recent earnings reports prove the continued contribution to eBay's bottom line from this great addition, and future potential of PayPal in the mobile device space cannot be understated. However, HPQ already has made a mess of things trying a "growth by buyout" philosophy. If Whitman is looking to leave her fingerprints on HP, she had better look for a different approach then buyouts. Shareholders better hope she takes to heart the cautionary tale of her $3.1 billion boondoggle on Skype rather than try and recreate the PayPal deal.
HP shareholders have little patience. Perhaps the biggest problem is that even if Whitman can manage to overcome all of these hurdles, the bottom line is that shareholders are furious and want to see results. The stock is off 40% in 2011 and is trading at 2005 valuations. HP stock pays a dividend of less than 2% despite spending tens of billions on doomed buyouts. Earnings and revenue will be up slightly this year, but there is a general consensus that the world is passing Hewlett-Packard by. Whitman will have a very short period of time to prove herself — witness the brief tenure of saintly Carol Bartz at Yahoo (YHOO) as one so-called CEO upgrade that didn't work or didn't work fast enough. And if Whitman doesn't show her stuff within a year or two, the sad reality is that the musical chairs will continue at HP as the leadership vacuum continues.

Whitman is a freak. She has the ego of an emperor and the logic of an idiot. Meg Whitman ruined eBay. Period! Meg tried to buy her way as Governor of California. Pull- ease, she makes me regurgitate.

So now HP has a Sociopath running the ship. LOL -- God Bless America
Can she pull it off?
Seems like a pretty safe play for Whitman. If she does turn things around she'll be the CEO icon of the decade, write three books, and be interviewed like Warren Buffett at least twice a month on CNBC. If it doesn't work out, she'll walk with her signing bonus and a mega million dollar severance package, along with plenty of prior HP management failures to point to and say, "See, the Board really was the problem all along". Even if it's a long shot for her, it's mostly upside and little downside. Now if only I could get a job like that. Heck, I would be happy to get fired like that just once, please.
"I don't know you and you don't know me"
That's what Meg told the illegal maid that had been scrubbing Meg's stains out of Meg's gold plated toilet for years. Some gratitude from a billionaire.
Gloria Allred set the trap and stupid Meg stepped right in, proving Meg in writing she's a liar.
HP must be in bad trouble to choose Mega Bucks Whitman.
I was about to buy a new FAX machine, it certainly won't be an HP.
MegaBucks Whitman is only concerned about herself and her selfish self.
You better dump your HP stock, it's going belly up fast.
