Messy facials to spare.
The hook for this all-oral release is that every popshot gets aimed directly at the girl's eye - at close range. There are a few standouts, notably Alexandra Quinn, who realizes it's a good idea to warm up before any physical activity. So she has already broken a sweat when she crawls up to Chuck Martino and starts sucking. What makes the scene work is Quinn's enthusiasm and the full body shots of her squatting with her legs spread.
Viewers also get a good look at Morgan Taylor's hot body in her scene with Brian Surewood. The sexy Promise takes the best cumshot, a thick coating courtesy of Marty Romano.

Silicon Alley Insider
Kevin Ryan is the man behind fashion fl ash-sale phenomenon Gilt Groupe, online ad powerhouse DoubleClick and hot new startup 10gen. But no matter how big his companies get, he always makes time for his health and his family
Kevin Ryan is the billion-dollar man of New York tech. He sold one company for more than $1 billion (Double Click, an online advertising company), is founder and CEO of another company valued at $1 billion (Gilt Groupe, the fashion flash-sale site) and is the co-founder and chairman of yet another company that many predict will soon be worth a billion (10gen, which develops open-source databases). In addition, Ryan was an early investor in HotJobs (sold for a mere $450 million) and is the founder and chairman of Business Insider, a financial-news-aggregation site that recently received a $7 million investment.
One of the biggest names in New York's "Silicon Alley," Ryan, 47, is leading the city's nascent rivalry with California. "In some ways, we're like China and Silicon Valley is like the U.S.," he says. "Yes, they still are much bigger, but we're growing much faster."
Ryan's weekday is a careful balance between personal health, family and work. He wakes up early to go to the gym but still makes it into the offi ce before most other employees. He answers his own email, reads every post on Business Insider (110 today) and rarely misses a school event for one of his three kids. His day is scheduled virtually down to the minute, but he takes five weeks of vacation each year, no matter what. His next trip will be to Costa Rica, a vacation he bought on Jetsetter, Gilt's travel site.

Recently on Saturday at the Hyatt Regent Century Plaza Hotel, the 21st annual GLAAD Media Awards was held where the Fox musical "Glee" had won the best comedy award given by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance against Defamation adding to its Golden Globe and the SAG prizes.
Ryan Murphy, the writer as well as the co creator came to receive the award along with the crew Jane Lynch, and the Chris Colfer.
Jane Lynch was thanked by the writer for making the Glee show the national platform for making the talk of her engagement to Lara Embry, her longtime partner Lara Embry. The role of Kurt is played by Chris Colfer, whom he tipped his hat on the stage.
He was overwhelmed by the man Chris Colfer and truly loved him because he was the one who at the age of 19 even when the media was at his high didn't mind to tell the world who he actually is and did not wait for today when he is 40 to announce that he is a gay, as for now things do not actually matter. The show deals with education over arts and inclusion and no doubt, it is a mark of great success to have GLAAD Award in hand.

Southern Miss pulls out of 2005 Auburn game
Published: Saturday, January 15, 2005 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 14, 2005 at 11:00 p.m.
AUBURN | Southern Mississippi has pulled out of its Sept. 24 game at Auburn because of a scheduling conflict, leaving a hole in the Tigers' schedule.
"Southern Miss had to make some changes because of their new conference schedule," Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville said. "It's something that happens sometimes. It's not anybody's fault."
Southern Miss athletic director Richard Giannini said the game would be rescheduled, possibly in 2008. He said there was no buyout and the decision was a "mutual agreement."
"We'll play the game, but it won't be next year," Giannini said.
The Tigers are left scrambling to find a new opponent for the second straight year after replacing Bowling Green with The Citadel last season. A weak nonconference schedule wound up hurting Auburn as the Tigers finished 13-0 but were No. 2 in the rankings.
Tuberville said finding another Division I-A opponent might not be possible at this point.
The Tigers open with one solid nonconference opponent, Sept. 3 against Georgia Tech at Auburn.

Studies most strongly associate being overweight and/or obese with a higher risk of breast (postmenopausal women), colorectal, endometrial, esophagus and renal cell cancers. Evidence points to obesity as a cause for gall bladder and pancreas cancer as well. Experts estimate that 14% of cancer deaths in men and 20% of cancer deaths in women are caused by obesity. It is likely that the mechanism for this risk is different for each cancer. Researchers believe that hormones that are produced at higher levels in the presence of extra weight, including insulin, leptin and estrogen, are one cause. For example, fat cells are the primary source of estrogen in postmenopausal women, thus more fat cells may lead to higher risk of breast cancer in overweight/obese women.
Experts measure body weight using body mass index or BMI. BMI is a measure of body fat based on a person's height and weight. This is a good place to start to evaluate your body weight and see where you fall on the chart, which classifies your BMI as underweight, healthy, overweight and obese.
A healthy diet, combined with regular physical activity and maintaining a healthy weight has been shown to reduce cancer risk. This triangle is thought to be the second most important step, after not smoking, to preventing cancer. A few studies have found that losing weight can help decrease the risk of weight-related cancers. The most convincing evidence for losing weight as a risk reduction technique comes from studies of people who have undergone bariatric (weight loss) surgery. In a sample of U.S. bariatric surgery patients, cancer death rates were 38% lower than people who were obese and did not undergo surgery.
Losing weight is no easy task. It takes a strong commitment to making big lifestyle changes. Seek support from friends, family, your healthcare providers and weight loss programs. Investigate websites or applications (Apps) to track progress and motivate you. Get started by learning more at the American Cancer Society and LIVESTRONG.

| Types of Saddle Pads
A saddle pad protects a horse's back from friction that could be caused by a saddle rubbing directly on your horse's hair and skin. It also helps to protect the saddle by absorbing some of your horse's sweat.
If your saddle fits well, you'll require only a simple saddle pad. In fact, if you add too much bulk with saddle padding you can cause the saddle not to fit and create pressure points.
If you have challenges with your horse's back-such as high withers or sore spots-or if the fit of your saddle is not perfect, you may need to use specially designed saddle pads to alleviate or at least lessen the severity of the problem.
The types of saddle pads you choose depends in part on function and in part on your riding discipline.
Shaped Saddle Pads Shaped saddle pads are curved to mimic the shape of the saddle. They are available for jumping, all-purpose and dressage saddles, and they can be made of either genuine sheepskin or synthetic fleece. These types of saddle pads are available with both sides made of fleece, with cotton quilting on the interior, and with grippy panels to help prevent slipping. Examples of each of these styles of pads include Dover's Double-Faced Luxo-Fleece Pad, Wilker's Cling-On Fleece Pad and the Medallion Super Quilt High Profile Pad.
Saddle pad sizes are usually determined by matching the pad to both the type of saddle and the seat size. (To measure the seat size, run a tape measure from one of the screw heads on the side of the pommel to the middle of the cantle.) You want an even border of about two inches of saddle pad showing around the circumference of your saddle. To achieve the perfect look for your particular saddle, you may want to try pads from different manufacturers.
For the show ring, most hunter riders use shaped pads in crisp white. Both synthetic fleece and genuine sheepskin pads are acceptable; consult your trainer for any preference. The advantages of synthetic fleece pads include an economical price point and the ability to be machine washed with laundry detergent. The advantages of genuine sheepskin pads include the ability for the sheepskin fibers to mold to your horse's back and to naturally wick away moisture and increase air circulation.
Square Saddle Pads Square saddle pads come in a variety of stock color choices and stitching patterns that can add some color to your schooling sessions. They can also be ordered in custom color combinations. For competition, event riders in the cross county phase have free range of color choices in square pads. In fact, the saddle pad is an opportunity to display stable, team or club colors. Jumpers in competition who choose to use a square pad usually select one in white, although colored pads are allowed.
Square pads may have a thin layer of batting or foam on the interior to provide a bit of cushioning for your horse, and some are lined with fabrics that offer moisture-wicking properties. Many are slightly shaped in front to accommodate the knee rolls of jumping and all-purpose saddles.
"Square" dressage saddle pads are essentially rectangular in appearance with straight sides to accommodate the longer saddle flaps of dressage saddles. Dressage pads are available in various widths and lengths, with average sizes ranging from 22 inches wide to 46 inches long. Some styles of dressage pad offer swallowtail detailing, such as on the Warendorf Swallowtail Dressage Pad, or contrasting piping, as can be seen on the Rider's International Velvet Dressage Pad. A contoured shape in the wither area can be more comfortable for horses with high withers, and also may help the pad stay in place on any horse. Dressage riders in competition are required to compete using a white or conservatively-colored saddle pad such as cream or black. White is the safest and most traditional color choice, and judges who've been interviewed on the subject tend to prefer to see white pads. Monograms and breed logos are permitted to appear on both sides of the saddle pad as long as they do not exceed 200 centimeter square. When sponsorship is permitted, the name or logo of a sponsor may appear instead of a monogram but with the same size restraint.
Dressage Saddle Pad Sizing The width of the pad corresponds to the length of the saddle seat; it should cover your horse's back under the saddle with a bit of pad visible in front of the pommel and behind the cantle. The amount of pad you see is up to your personal preference and the needs of your horse.
|This photograph illustrates how the width of a dressage pad is measured.
|The length of the dressage pad corresponds to the length of the saddle flap. The saddle pad should be long enough to cover the side of your horse under the saddle flap; you should see a bit of pad below the tip of the saddle flap. The amount of pad you see is up to your personal preference and the needs of your horse.
|This photograph illustrates how the length of a dressage pad is measured. Note: If you use a short girth with your dressage saddle, be sure that you have at least three to four fingers' width between the top of the girth and the bottom of the saddle pad and saddle flap on both sides. If the girth comes to close to the edge of the saddle pad or flap, your horse's skin can be pinched. Some people will use longer dressage girths to stretch up so that the top rests on the saddle pad to avoid pinching, but this may defeat the purpose of using a short girth to reduce bulk under the leg.

WordPress tiny MCE editor disappears to author/editors, remain in admin user role.
Plugin version: 0.9.9.3.4, WordPress version: 3.1.2
Problem: MCE editor disappeared in every user minus the admin user. After disabling Frontpage Slideshow plugin MCE editor was instantly reverted to working condition to the affected user roles (author, editor, contributor).
Notes: I found the problem the next day I have installed the Frontpage Slideshow plugin after the editors of our website started reporting that the MCE editor is missing leaving them unable to post correctly. When I (as admin role) went to check the problem, the MCE editor appeared correctly.
When I accessed the post editor under different user roles (author, editor, contributor) the MCE editor was not functioning (empty of buttons).
After googling the Net for several hours I have found reports (in comments) about other people being affected by exactly the same problem.
Current Status: Problem unresolved. Had to uninstall it.

Positively perfect.
Black Diamond's Positron Screwgate Carabiner is the locker that every dirtbag climber dreams of, due to its solid security, compact lightness, and dirt-cheap price tag. Despite its inexpensiveness, the Positron still styles the ever-popular keylock nose for snag-free unclipping.

Have questions about this product?
Great addition to my gear!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Really Smooth action, i don't feel it a hassle to be able to lock and unlock this carabiner, sleek looking gear highly recommended
One Of My First
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I like this carabiner a lot, it feels heavy duty without feeling overly heavy. So far it has been my go to for my tube belay and works great. As some have said I have noticed a groove being worn into it from the rope. All around good carabiner, worth the price. For me as a newbie to the buying of climbing gear, I'm glad I have this carabiner, but I now know why some carabiners are more specifically designed.
Great all arounders
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These carabiners are awesome. You can use them for everything. Belaying, rappelling, anchoring, even used them on my slackline. I probably own 10 or more of these and wouldn't buy anything else.
Can't have too many!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I'd rather have too many lockers than not enough. I have 5 or 6 of these in my pack: I use them for every type of anchor, clipped to my prussik knot backup while rappelling, redirecting the brake rope to safely lower much heavier climbers, haul systems, the list goes on.
You could safely use them for belaying in a pinch, but I prefer a much bigger belay biner myself. I marked the noses with a few dots of nail polish to quickly differentiate mine from others' biners so there are no mixups when packing up (***pic to come***).
Great smaller biner
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are great. I recommend them for purposes requiring a locking carabiner, but not a huge radius. They are light, and the twist lock and gate are super smooth. My primary use is setting top rope anchors.
Excellent carabiner
This biner is great. I use it for building anchors, personal anchors, autoblock rappelling, and just about any other place a locker is appropriate. (Except for belaying)
Light and effective
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Used this for multiple applications. I love how light it is. The screw gate lock is very easy to lock/unlock.
Go-To Accessory Locker
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The Positron is a rad biner for anchors and just about everything else besides rappelling, where you'll be better off with a locker that has a rounded basket profile (instead of the Positron's I-beam style). They're pretty light, compact, and have an easy screw and clipping movement.
BD Positron
Good go-to locking biner. Have used for basic functions like setting up a top rope anchor, using with a personal anchor to clean sport routes, and for using w/ a prusik when rapping w/ an ATC. Have used with a belay device for sport climbing, but have since acquired a belay specific locking biner that I love (prevents rotation of carabiner and crossloading). This carabiner has a narrower gate than others (like the petzl attaché), so depending on what you are using it for could be an issue.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Small, Light, Cheap. Don't use for repelling though. It will wear a grove fast.
Perfect little locking biner
The perfect little locking biner, it's light weight, is cool looking and does its job
small and light
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
small biner, lightweight and perfect for atc's or clipping to an anchor. a must for any sport climber.
When will you have the positron BLD00HL back in stock? Really like this carabiner. Please contact
Hey Ryan, if you are referring to this one you asked the question on, they are back in stock and ready to ship. Let me know if I can be of any other help.

I've just started working with WordPress and I am using 3.8.1. I am taking tutorials to learn it and one of the tutorials discussed the More tag, so I thought I would try it, and it doesn't appear to work for me.
(I don't know how to post pics here and there is no preview, so i will provide link to my Photobucket.)
I clicked the correct button in the Visual box, and the "more" designation appears in the text box, as you can see here (green circles):
But when I publish, it does not appear where it should (red arrow):
Am I not doing something correctly, or is this a bug?

I have in my hands two boxes
Which God gave me to hold.
He said, "Put all your troubles in the black box,
And all your joys in the gold."
I heeded His words, and in the two boxes
Both my joys and sorrows I stored,
But though the gold became heavier each day
The black was as light as before.
With curiosity, I opened the black,
I wanted to find out why,
And I saw, in the base of the box,
A hole which my sorrows had fallen out by.
I showed the hole to God, and mused,
"I wonder where my sorrows could be."
He smiled a gentle smile and said, "My child,
theyre all here with Me."
I asked God why He gave me the boxes,
Why the gold, and the black with the hole.
"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,
The black is for you to let go."

Markets |
* U.S. Midwest business activity contracts in April; US dollar falls * Fall in euro zone inflation adds to rate cut case * Oil drops on growth worries By Caroline Valetkevitch NEW YORK, April 30 Stocks on major markets edged higher on Tuesday while the U.S. dollar fell to a two-month low on expectations of further supportive actions by U.S. and European central banks. Investors await the release of the Federal Reserve's policy statement on Wednesday as well as the European Central Bank's announcement on Thursday. Investors believe the Fed will continue with its bond buying program in response to recent weaker U.S. economic data, while the European Central Bank may cut its benchmark interest rate. U.S. Treasuries prices erased gains, as investors made room for a six-part debt sale by Apple Inc. The technology company has attracted more than $50 billion in orders for a six-part debt sale expected to price later on Tuesday, according to two market sources. U.S. stocks were slightly higher after data showing an unexpected contraction in business activity in the U.S. Midwest was offset by a report showing U.S. home prices rose in February at their fastest rate in almost seven years. At the same time, the U.S. dollar was being driven by views on the Fed as investors watch to see if the sluggish economic recovery and slowing inflation could not only end talk of slowing the Fed's bond-buying, but also push the Fed into buying more assets. Weakness in the dollar "is mainly speculation on further Fed quantitative easing policy," said Ulrich Leuchtmann, head of FX research at Commerzbank. "The view that the Fed would scale down QE is coming more and more under question due to poor U.S. data." The dollar index, which measures its value against a basket of six major currencies, earlier hit its lowest since the end of February at 81.598. It was last down 0.5 percent at 81.729. The euro rose as high as $1.3185, the strongest since April 17. On Wall Street on Tuesday, the Dow Jones industrial average was down 9.96 points, or 0.07 percent, at 14,808.79. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was up 0.64 points, or 0.04 percent, at 1,594.25. The Nasdaq Composite Index was up 10.54 points, or 0.32 percent, at 3,317.56. U.S. stocks have mostly rallied since the start of the year. The S&P 500 closed at a record high on Monday. MSCI's world equity index was up 0.3 percent, while the pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index ended down 0.2 percent. Earlier, MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 1.1 percent to a seven-month high. In the U.S. Treasury market, the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note was down 2/32, with the yield at 1.6734 percent. Apple is issuing three-year and five-year fixed and floating-rate notes, as well as 10-year and 30-year fixed-rate notes via Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs. The company is expected to issue at least $15 billion in debt. EUROPEAN DATA WEAK; US DATA MIXED Data out of Europe on Tuesday bolstered views the ECB will cut interest rates when it meets on Thursday. Inflation in the euro zone hit a three-year low and unemployment rose to a record high, the EU statistics office reported. Adding to worries, German retail sales unexpectedly fell in March while Spain's economy shrank for the seventh straight quarter in the first three months of the year. "It's looking more and more likely that the European Central Bank will indeed cut its main refinancing rate on Thursday while the Federal Reserve will stand pat on Wednesday," said Brian J. Jacobsen, chief portfolio strategist at Wells Fargo Funds Management in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. A cut in the ECB benchmark rate by 25 basis points to a record low of 0.5 percent after its policy meeting on Thursday has been largely factored in by financial markets, though many analysts and dealers still harbor some doubts it will happen. Only a narrow majority of 76 economists polled by Reuters last week forecast a 25 basis point cut in the main rate to 0.5 percent on Thursday. A separate survey of money market dealers showed they were evenly split on any move. In the commodity markets the growth concerns, heightened by the recent run of weak economic data around the world, largely outweighed the hopes of further central bank support. Brent crude dropped $1.46 to $102.35 a barrel. U.S. crude was $1.01 lower at $93.49 a barrel.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Florida officials say they will close six of the state's correctional facilities for a savings of at least $30 million this year.
A Florida Department of Corrections representative said on Tuesday that the state is shuttering the Brevard Correctional Institution in Cocoa and the Hendry Correctional Institution in Immokalee. It is also closing the Hillsborough Correctional Institution in Riverview, the Tallahassee Road Prison and the Lowell and Sumter boot camps. Workers at those locations will be offered jobs at other facilities and the closings will not result in the early release of any inmates.
The state now has a surplus of beds that allows inmates to be moved within the prison system.
All of the shutdowns should be completed by the end of June.

All Rise...
Despite a creepy little octopus with a shock of orange hair and a human face, Judge Sandra Dozier didn't have any nightmares over this Slayers original animation video.
Editor's Note
Our reviews of Anime Essentials: Slayers The Motion Picture (published October 14th, 2004), Slayers Excellent (published April 29th, 2004), Slayers Gorgeous (published May 7th, 2004), Slayers Movie Box (published October 20th, 2005), and The Slayers: The First Three Seasons (published August 28th, 2009) are also available.
The Charge
Reverse the Curse!
Opening Statement
Slayers says a fond farewell to fans (at least, until the next original animation video) with this short but sweet release. Lina, Gourry, Amelia, and Zelgadis are all together, and Xellos and Naga make brief appearances, although Naga doesn't interact with any of the gang, unfortunately.
Facts of the Case
Lina and Gourry decide to vacation in a small coastal town known for its tasty octopus, but just they are sitting down to a huge sushi boat, the chef comes in to see if they've eaten the octopus (which, incidentally, is the only piece Gourry managed to yank out of Lina's grasp). Then a young girl comes in to ask the same question and is stricken when she finds out Gourry has eaten the octopus. It seems the local delicacy is tainted, and anyone who eats it comes down with a strange curse that makes them speak the quirky language of the octopi, which sounds like gibberish to everyone else.
They find out the girl is Ruuna, and she practices white magic as an apprentice. She is waiting for the return of her master, who left in search of a cure for the affliction. When she realizes who Lina is, she tells her a story of a demon who is being resurrected by the angry population of octopi, who want revenge on the human race, and begs Lina to help her kill the demon before they can release it from the vase it was magically sealed in.
The Evidence
I was surprised at how short this original animation video (OAV) was, only 30 minutes long. However, the video quality is excellent, and presented in anamorphic widescreen with a crystal-clear transfer and attractive animation. I liked the computer graphics used for most of the underwater scenes, even if they did look a little artificial—it did create a rather otherworldly look that was perfect for the setting.
One interesting aspect of this feature, which was also pointed out in the interview footage, is that the character designs are simplified, more ornamental, and cuter. The characters look younger, perkier, and more cutesy than ever before. This is in keeping with the light, fun, storyline for this OAV but will probably disappoint fans of the TV series. Although there is a little swordplay and spellwork to liven things up, there isn't enough of it, and this will probably also be a sticking point for fans. There is, however, a slight nod to possible future romantic entanglements that the characters experience. It's all in good fun.
Fortunately, to make up for the short run time, the DVD is loaded with extras, including a commentary with Crispin Freeman (Zelgadis) and Cynthia Martinez (Lina). The commentary is not so much informative as it is fun—it's like watching the anime with a couple of buddies who are feeling relaxed and silly. Martinez is pretty energetic, and her signature voice is great to listen to, even when she's blatting out her favorite line of gibberish over and over. There is also an extensive interview with Crispin Freeman that goes in depth into the behind-the-scenes process; he talks about returning to do the voice for Zelgadis, hanging with the crew, and working as a voice actor, and he offers some specifics about Slayers and Slayers Premium, including the computer graphics work. These are both very strong extras that make a good complement to the OAV. Also, this release is reasonably priced for what it offers, so those wishing to complete their collection won't be out too much bread.
The Rebuttal Witnesses
Fans of the original television series might be disappointed by this OAV. Although there is plenty of humor, the elevated cutesiness and silliness levels and the decreased fighting and spell casting will probably make this seem too fluffy and saccharine. Of course, that's kind of the point, but it's worth noting that this is not the typical Slayers package.
Although I enjoyed the animation (especially the bright, inviting colors), I felt this episode was perhaps a little too jam-packed with events, characters, and whatever else, and it had an extremely creepy ending that left a bad taste in my mouth. I don't want to give anything away, but you will know what I mean when you see it. The frantic pacing is probably understandable, seeing as this was intended to be the last OAV for a little while, at least, and they probably wanted to get in whatever they could.
Closing Statement
Fun and light, Slayers Premium doesn't offer the seminal chapter in the lives of any of its characters, but it does provide adventure and cool underwater hijinks, and when is that ever a bad thing?
The Verdict
Slayers Premium is spared the ultimate fireball and will get its +10 magic sword returned forthwith.

Did we give Slayers Premium a fair trial? yes / no

Smart meter is an advanced energy meter that measures consumption of electrical energy providing additional information compared to a conventional energy meter. Integration of smart meters into electricity grid involves implementation of a variety of techniques and software, depending on the features that the situation demands. Design of a smart meter depends on the requirements of the utility company as well as the customer. This paper discusses various features and technologies that can be integrated with a smart meter. In fact, deployment of smart meters needs proper selection and implementation of a communication network satisfying the security standards of smart grid communication. This paper outlines various issues and challenges involved in design, deployment, utilization, and maintenance of the smart meter infrastructure. In addition, several applications and advantages of smart meter, in the view of future electricity market are discussed in detail. This paper explains the importance of introducing smart meters in developing countries. In addition, the status of smart metering in various countries is also illustrated.

Miso, who is originally from Ukraine, now makes her home in Melbourne, Australia. Her muted color schemes blend naturally into mundane city walls, making the presentation of her wheat pastes very dynamic, almost appearing as though they belonged there all along.How did you become a participating artist in Living Walls and what about the conference drew you to participate?
I was first contacted by Living Walls in their first year and sent some small works for their show. They were very supportive and we'd been in touch a little before. Last year, I missed out on sending anything, as I was traveling, and come this year, they dropped an email out of nowhere inviting me to come over. It's really inspiring to me, how young the organizers are and just how much they've been able to do so far.What are your thoughts on the lineup being all female?
I can't wait. There are so many women coming that I admire and look up to. I usually knock back women-only street art exhibitions or projects because they can come across quite "token," but I'm really excited to see how Living Walls does it, because I don't think they border on that at all. It's just incredible that things like this can happen.How do you think public art affects the community or city it is displayed in?
I think that public art is hugely important in growing cities and increasingly dense urban environments. I'd say that it puts a city's culture back onto itself, something that gives communities or neighborhoods a sense of identity and ownership — especially in transient or dense places, something to identify and connect with on a really personal level.How do you come up with a piece for a wall? Is there a particular feeling you get or do you plan it carefully?
It's always different. For street pieces, they often start as sketches or reference photographs that I take and evolve into finished pieces. From there, they shift and change as I keep drawing and changing my mind. For my gallery work or installations, I usually have to be a lot more organized and plan and sketch months ahead. It's a lot more draining.What do you hope people get out of your work?
I usually like to leave that really open. When you think out street art, you have to remember that most people who see it wouldn't know the artist, or author, and since there isn't a plaque like in a museum, people really have to dictate their own thoughts. So I like to leave it open and not explain them too much. I think it's really important that they speak for themselves.

City Mayor Nickels's Secret Agenda
posted by December 6 at 14:36 PMon
As Nancy Drew reports in the paper that comes out today (not online yet, alas), the mayor's office, unlike the city council, doesn't have to hold public meetings. That means that Nickels's annual retreats, unlike the council's, are not open to the public (or reporters). When we called to find out where the retreat was being held, the receptionist responded suspiciously, "Why do you need that information?" Then she explicitly refused to confirm or deny that a retreat was even taking place. (A hot tipper had already informed us that the mayor and 30 members of his staff were headed on an all-expenses-paid trip to the Suquamish Clearwater Resort and Casino on the Kitsap Peninsula for two days, but we wanted to confirm.)
Washington State Open Public Records Act to the rescue! Within less than a day of filling a records request with the mayor's public information officer, we got a copy of the retreat agenda. Among the priorities: Understanding Seattle's urban agenda; discussing the city's leadership role in addressing global and local challenges; and rekindling "our dedication to public leadership and service." Might we suggest adding a little transparency to that agenda?

FRAMINGHAM, Mass., June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Everything Channel (formerly CMP Channel), activating technology sales channels, will present a NetSeminar entitled "Validating LAN Installations and Other Network Essentials You Should Consider Before Your Competitor Does" on July 10 at 2 PM ET.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080505/NYM117LOGO-a )
Networking solution providers are constantly building and updating LANs. But in many cases, it turns into a process of trial and error to determine what works and what doesn't, ultimately costing VARs and systems integrators valuable time and money, and making the customer impatient. Senior editor, Andrew Hickey, will host this NetSeminar on Thursday, July 10 at 2 PM ET. The conversation will cover the following topics: steps and best practices to ensure the LAN you deploy performs and operates correctly; how to ensure major networking components are running smoothly before cutting them over into production; how to earn customer confidence by validating that the LAN will perform to its fullest potential; why using pass/fail metrics for key network services during deployment can avoid issues down the road; and how VARs can use LAN validation as a key differentiator.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Middlesex accident leads to charge of DUI
MIDDLESEX A resident of Northern Ireland who was involved in an accident in central Vermont early Monday morning is expected to be charged with drunken driving later this month.
State police said 46-year-old Lisa Carville was arrested shortly before 4 a.m. Monday following a report of a two-car accident on the Route 2 overpass in Middlesex.
According to police, Carville was driving a 2013 Chevrolet Cruze east on Route 2 when she drifted into the westbound lane and slammed head-on into an oncoming vehicle.
Police did not identify the second driver, or indicate whether anyone was injured in the accident. They did say Carville was arrested on suspicion of DUI.
Carville is scheduled to be arraigned at the criminal courthouse in Barre on Nov. 21.MORE IN This Just In

Eventually got it to work, despite non-existent introduction/use tutorial instructions, bad user interface (that is, for me as the WordPress site administrator -- works fine for the site visitor).
Screenshots do not a tutorial make! Some basic instructions to create a file download button:
1. Use File Manager > Add new file to upload a file, which it calls a "Download Package". Ignore the main part of the window, the text editor screen. It does nothing! Don't select an icon -- it screwed up the button when I tried it.
2. Go to File Manager > Manage to find out what ID it's given your file.
3. When you're editing a page or post, click the new TinyMCE button, "Download Manager: Insert Package or Category." Use the "Insert Shortcode" tab, and click the first "Insert into Post". Make sure the id= part matches the ID from step 2. (No, it doesn't let you choose which file to make downloadable!)
And yes, I wasted a couple of hours figuring this out. Please Shoan, let your users accomplish the simple tasks simply!
