I had read some reviews that recommended the documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop, but by the time I got around to watching it, I had completely forgotten what it was about. It took me by storm. After watching the first fifteen minutes, I had to call my wife to come see it and then I had to call my teenage son.
The premise for the documentary is that an amateur filmmaker, Thierry Guetta, got really interested in the street art scene and used the line that he was making a documentary to get access to some of the world's most famous street artists, including the extremely private Banksy. When Banksy finally calls his bluff and tells him to make the film, the guy does a horrible job. Bansky decides to make his own film using Guetta's footage and encourages Guetta to do some of his own street art in the meantime. Guetta decides this is a good idea and becomes a overnight sensation using the pseudonym Mr. Brainwash.
If that sounds a little unbelievable, join the club of people who think the whole Thierry Guetta character is a hoax, used as a framework for Banksy to promote his work as well as others in the street art scene.
It doesn't really matter though, because the film is so much fun.

|シセル Shiseru
|Naruto Shippūden Episode #290
|Appears in
|Voice Actors
Shiseru (シセル, Shiseru) is an officer from the Hachō Village.
Shiseru grew up with Dokku, referring to him as brother. During their youth, she accidentally fell from a cliff roughly fifty metres high onto a tree. This incident left her with several severe scars along her torso. Dokku's inability to save her from the fall caused him to become a guard for the Tonika Village, but their relationship became distant over the years until they were practically strangers to one another.
She appears to be very formal, but also has a serious, and cautious side, seen when she threatens Yamato with her sword before she interrogates him. She has also a soft and fond side, caring for the children Dokku rescued, as well for Dokku himself too. As a child, she was very wild and careless, resulting in her falling down a cliff and receiving several scars from it.
Shiseru is a a fair-skinned woman with shoulder-length, black hair, most of which is combed back with a few strands falling into her face. She has blue eyes and full lips. She wears a dark blue uniform with gold trimmings, but is also seen wearing casual clothing when at home and when being younger. Her body is covered with large scars she received when she was a kid.
Shiseru appears to be a capable swordswoman, displaying the ability to catch Yamato under the chin with her blade before he could react. She also managed to skilfully fight several shinobi at once, being very nimble and fast. She is strong enough to cut off a human limb with ease and showed also some skills in taijutsu, able to counter a strike by blocking the arm with her hand. She also has knowledge of medical treatment, taking care of Dokku's wounds.
Part II
Chikara Arc
She went with the village head and some other soldiers of her home-town to the destroyed Tonika Village to investigate the incident. After questioning Yamato about their purpose, she takes him and Sai to Disonasu. Shortly after, they heard a loud noise and head into the direction. Shiseru and the other soldiers were attacked by Kabuto Yakushi's reincarnated shinobi. She managed to defeat two opponents, just to see that they had regenerative powers. Shortly after, Kabuto withdrew his pawns and the group went to the Hachō Village. Shiseru leads Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno to her house to meet with Dokku and the children he rescued.
After some troubles because Dokku mistook the two Konoha-nin for enemies, the whole group ate together and bathed afterwards. Sakura noticed several scars on Shiseru's body, and the two then talked about Shiseru and Dokku's background. As Shiseru and Dokku were later watching the five kids sleeping after the bath, they began holding hands.

plan to sit it on bookshelf now and in garden come spring planting.
looks good and good representation for c.u. only problem i found was that the box it came in was unsealed so figured it had been returned. later realized that one of the buffalo horns in gnome's hat was flattened. might have happened at factory, in transit or elsewhere but not big deal for me as i bought it on clearance sale and not too noticeable unless you are production inspector or picky consumer.
if there will be any gripes from the birds or bugs in my yard about the mashed horn i plan to ignore them. go buffs!!

What: Louisville Writers' Workshop Reading
When: 7 p.m. Monday
Where: Front Range Brewing Co., 400 W. South Boulder Road, Lafayette
More info: tinyurl.com/beerandbooks
Booze and books. Liquor and literature.
The pairing is well represented in the literary world. Ernest Hemingway, Jack Kerouac, Charles Bukowski -- none was a stranger to the bottle.
Even if excess intake got the better of them, the blend of creativity and consumption they embraced yielded some of the best texts ever written.
That potent mix of author and alcohol will be on display at Lafayette's Front Range Brewing Co. on Monday night. That's where the inaugural Louisville Writers' Workshop Reading will take place, with a select group of scribes reading aloud what they have been writing, refining and editing over the last few weeks.
"It's a good mix of people having a couple of beers and reading their fiction," said Rachel Weaver, who heads up the Louisville Writers' Workshop.
The $10 entry fee includes a beer taster flight. Members of the group will also get a quick education in beer-making and the niceties of craft beer from the head brewer.
"Everyone is coming together as a community of writers, and it's cool to bring that energy to support a new business in our community," Weaver said.
Front Range Brewing Co. is one in a string of brewhouses that have sprouted up in eastern Boulder County in the last 18 months. There are now six breweries in Louisville, Lafayette and Erie, with another three in the works.
Deborah Cameron, a resident of Frederick who has taken a liking to eastern Boulder County's craft brewery scene, organized the reading primarily as a way to promote community interaction.
"A lot of the craft breweries are just welcoming, warm, inviting spaces that families can go to," she said. "Front Range really embraced this."
Will Boggs, Front Range's owner, said it's not the first time his brewery has hosted a community event since opening in Lafayette Marketplace this past summer. Opera on Tap, a group from Boulder that performs opera in places where opera fans don't normally congregate, was in the Front Range taproom recently.
And the Louisville Writers' Workshop will share space with a men's group from Flatirons Community Church today.
"We're all about trying to foster community and encourage repeat business," Boggs said.
Weaver said a brewery will be a nice change from the conference room her group usually meets in at the Louisville Recreation Center. Five writers in her group will do readings Monday night.
"This is a way to highlight the work they did at the workshops," she said.
Cameron said she is reaching out to others -- arts groups, book groups, senior groups, mom groups, gaming groups and social clubs -- to see if they have an interest in practicing their craft while enjoying a brew or two.
Boggs said he's game to host more community gatherings.
"It doesn't have to be a writers' group," he said. "It can be a group with an interest in beer and fill-in-the-blank."

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KSDK) - Two men walked into a local Circle K Friday morning, brandished weapons, and made off with over a hundred dollars in cash, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department said.
According to David Marzullo, a police spokesman, the robbery occurred around 1:35 a.m. in the 8200 block of S. Broadway. The suspects entered the store with handguns and demanded money from the registers. The clerk handed the men over approximately $150, who then fled the store.
Police describe the suspects as two African-American males in their late teens or early 20s. The first suspect is between 5'7" and 5'9", weighs 150 to 165 pounds with a medium build, light complexion, and wearing a black Nike hoodie, black jeans, and a black/red/white scarf over his face. The second suspect is between 5'8" and 5'10", weighs between 225 and 240 pounds with a heavy build, dark complexion, and wearing a grey hoodie, blue jeans, white and black Nike shoes, and a black scarf over his face.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to contact CrimeStoppers at 866-371-TIPS.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2012
GROVETOWN, Ga. -- A packed gym sat Tuesday night to find out the state of Columbia County.
A panel of government leaders say the report card is good with its highest mark on growth.
"We grew by 735 students this year," said Columbia County Schools Superintendent Charles Nagle.
That was just one example of how much the county has grown, and Commission Chairman Ron Cross says growth means increase in revenues.
"We're strong financially," Cross said. "We have good sales tax collections."
Cross says property tax collections are up, too, which Nagle says is good for education.
"[Our] old bond debt will be paid out in March. The school system is financially in good shape. We just need more money from the state when it comes to instructional dollars," Nagle said.
Growth doesn't come hassle-free, though, according to leaders. They say the biggest challenge involved with it is traffic.
"You sit in a line in Atlanta for 45 minutes or an hour and nobody says much. You sit in line for 10 minutes in Columbia County and nobody likes it," Cross said.
That's where he says the newly-approved TSPLOST comes into play. He says the county did what it could in terms of fixing roads with its own money, but it can't afford everything on its own.
"There's a limit on what we could do. We could not complete Riverwatch Parkway. This allows us to do that," Cross said of TSPLOST.
Cross admitted he didn't personally like the tax, but there were no better options, and he says this one helps leaders continue to try and meet their ultimate goal.
"Making Columbia County as good as possible and keeping it that way," he said.

|Italian Republic
Repubblica italiana (Italian)
|Official language(s)
Italy is a country in Western Europe. The capital and largest city is Rome. There are many references to Italy in Grand Theft Auto series. Italy shares borders with France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, and the two enclaves: San Marino and Vatican.
- The Mafia families are from Italy. They can be heard saying certain phrases in Italian.
- Many characters over the series are from an Italian descent.
- Saint Mark's, Portland, has a large Italian community. (III, LCS)
- There are Italian flags in the Orbit Building in east Belleville Park, Staunton Island. (III, LCS)
- Gnocchi is an Italian clothing brand. (SA, IV)
- The vehicle manufacturer Grotti, which makes the Cheetah and Turismo sports cars and Jetmax boat, comes from Italy. (SA, IV)
- The vehicle manufacturer Pegassi, which makes the Infernus sports car and Bati 800 motorcycle, comes from Italy. (IV)
- Al Dente's is an Italian restaurant. (IV)
- An Italian flag can be seen at Los Santos Country Club. (V)
There are a lot of Italian-American gangs or mafia families in the GTA series. These groups have their origins in Italy and likely still have connections back home. In Grand Theft Auto IV and its episodes, The Ballad of Gay Tony and The Lost and Damned, there is The Commission, a council-like organisation made up of the five most powerful or influential mafia families in Liberty City. However several of these families still fight with one another and rivalries remain common.
Here is a list of Italian gangs or crime families in the series;
3D Universe
- Sicilian Mafia
- Forelli Family
- Vercetti Family (also known as the Vercetti Gang)
- Leone Family
- Sindacco Family

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff

This guys caught them all!
I would save itachi first, the best choices to pick.
save the strongest first.

Rock Lee's safe? Leave quietly.
Well, itachi and sasuke will use amataresu on everyone else and kill them. since both of them can extinguish the flame, they cant kill each other, then itachi used tyukoyomi in who ever is going to pick sasuke instead of him, and that person will save itachi.
So itachi is the Last Man Standing and only Choices
The only one I'll lend a helping hand to, is Sasuke. The rest be damned.
Free Sasuke, and let Naruto and Kakashi have most pain
I'll save Sasuke, then kill naruto, come back later and take kakashi eyes and pee on gaara then spit on itachi before lighting his ass on fire.
It HAS to be Sakura. The ***** is hell-bent on pulling off all of Sasuke's clothes.
From first to last on who I would kill first.
1) Sasuke
2) Itachi
3) Kakashi
4) Gaara
5) Naruto
This is not based on personal preferences just how much safer the world would be without them.
Save Naruto and leave him to save the others...

Little reminder as to what happens to anyone who helps Sasuke.
if the are normal ropes:
Im pretty sure the only person to actually need saving here would be kakashi (unless he kumai-ed himself out of them). Both uchiha can use fire style to burn the ropes, gaara has his sand to manipulate, and naruto has nine tails mood (the chakra tails will get the ropes).
If they chakra-infused-you-cant-do-shit ropes then gaara

Well, I don't know about you guys but I'm ready for spring!
I've been a member at Hyperion for around 7 years now, so I have my home roots/love for the course. Big fan of the challenging fairways/greens. Course is usually always in good shape except for beginning and the tailing end of the season. I've played tons of DSM area courses including (off the top of my head)Briarwood, Jester, Beaver Creek, Ankeny, Des Moines GC, Terrace Hills, Willow Creek, Woodland Hills and Glen Oaks. Glen Oaks being my favorite, Willow Creek being my least favorite
That being said, what are your favorite courses in DSM area? Throw your least favorite in there too to spice things up.
not sure
****...I just posted a long piece in the other thread...from my phone. I can't bring myself to write it again. Any way to merge??

How do I do that.. I posted it in wrong forum

Notice you left off the 3 main public course in Des Moines...Waveland, Blank and Grandview. I play Waveland A LOT. Blank a couple times a year. Both are good courses. Waveland is the best of those though, IMO.
I played Hyperion for the first time last year. Once I made myself "believe" every green...no matter what it "looked" like was breaking away from the clubhouse, I didn't have any issues. It took 3 holes, and I was lucky to be on all three in regulation. Greens were very fast, but true. Shot well out there.
I like Legacy. It used to be the best "value" in the area, but they've jacked their prices over the last couple of seasons. Still a great course, but now you have to pay for it.
Least favorite course...hard to say. Toad Valley ranks right up there. It was great quite a number of years ago, but then they picked up their liquor license. You used to be able to bring your own booze on course, which made one of the worst tracks the best. Now...it'sjst a waste.
A little windy, but...favorites:
- Waveland
- Legacy (still have Coors Light tall boys for the price of a 12 oz Bud Light)
- Jester
Least favorite:
Toad Valley
There are quite a few in between.
I just listed the courses I've played. But agree with the Jester
It has been a few years but I always liked the greens @ DMG&CC
I realized that we are just tough young men. Resilient, really, Morris adds. A lot of people probably would have tucked their tail and tried to make moves but this group stuck together. Everybody is on the same page and that really told me a lot about the type of season we can have.
Whoever steps in, we can still do something special.
We're super-talented, no matter what. We can do something special next year."

The Legacy in Norwalk. And it isn't close.
Edit: For public courses. Wakonda is probably best overall in DSM area.

Except Wakonda is private. I bet you meant Waveland.
Keep doing what you're doing to build Strong Towns.
I'm hoping to become a member at a course this summer. Anybody have any ideas? I'm looking for it to be decent price. I'm 24 and an average golfer but wanna hit the course more.
Open to suburbs of Des Moines as well as they may be cheaper. I really like Adels course.

Pretty sure the "public course" edit was in reference to Legacy. Poster was saying Wakonda was the best DSM course (public or private).

Speaking of Wakonda. You're at the age where a Junior membership is an option (pretty sure anyway). Last I heard, they were killing for new membership. You can probably get on pretty cheap there and by all accounts...great course.
I would put Blank, Jester, and Copper Creek in my top 3. I'm a 95-100 stroke guy so places like Waveland are just a waste of time and golf balls for me. For me, Blank really offers everything I want. Decent challenge, a good mix of hazards, and usually has a good pace. For a guy like me Blank is open so I won't lose 15 balls a round yet still has some interesting holes.
Jester is the same in that regards. The only thing I don't like about Jester is the par 5 11th hole where unless you can hit 325 off of the tee you have to lay up at 150 yards before the shore of the pond.
Copper Creek is a great place to get a mixture of both worlds. The front eight holes are fairly wide open with just some sand here and there. At nine through most of the back you enter a heavily wooded area where accuracy is king. Wander off the fairway and you end up in the wooded deep ****. Like Waveland without the topography changes.
My worst. Toad Valley. Just an overall boring course with no sand traps. Every time I go there the greens are shoddy. Once a couple of years ago we went there and both holes 1 and 2 were closed and under repair. So we paid for 18 holes and only got to play 16. Did we get a discount? Nope.
Yeah TOAST!!!
A special note. Woodland Hills north of Des Moines really pisses me off. Every green is a circle and the size of a dining room tabletop.
Legacy is the best public course
Blank is great in the early and late season because the greens are very good those times of year compared to others.
Waveland is great up until the city tournament, then goes to pot. But on a windy day it's the best course on that particular day.
Jester is good when nothing else is open. Ok here and there for a change.
Tci is very good, but also the most unpredictable condition wise.
If you have some extra time, drive up to Honey Creek in Boone, or Veenker. Always a good time.
Least favorite. DG&CC. Members at Des Moines do the best job at making guest feel unwelcome. Congratulations. And you might want to do something about that 1980's architecture.

Ryan Goodman is a generational rancher from Arkansas with a degree in Animal Science from Oklahoma State University in Animal Science, and is currently pursuing a Master's degree at the University of Tennessee, studying beef cattle management. He is one of many farmers using social media to bridge the gap between farmers and urban customers. Follow his story daily at AgricultureProud.com or on Twitter and Facebook.
First impressions are critical when it comes to forming opinions; unfortunately, they do not always convey the entire story. Modern farming faces this problem, as most farmers have remained quiet and allowed animal and food activists to talk about modern agriculture. I think more people should allow farmers to be a part of this conversation.
As I mentioned in a previous article, I grew up in an Arkansas farm family on a cattle ranch where we had our way of raising animals. I realized there is more to the story of ranching, so I embraced opportunities for education by working with cattle ranchers in Oklahoma and Tennessee, raising cattle for natural beef marketing in Wyoming, and working in several Texas feedlots. These experiences have broadened my skill set and perspective of raising cattle. However, that is not where the learning ends.
I have also explored learning opportunities from the other side of the story. Groups like Mercy for Animals, Humane Society of the United States, and PETA often publish undercover videos depicting scenes of animal cruelty and abuse. These videos are uncomfortable to watch, but I watch them because it is how they choose to present farming.
I also seek out others' opinions through books and online literature. I own and have read material by food activists like Michael Pollan, Jonathan Safran Foer, and Joel Salatin, because I know they view things differently than I do, and I care to know why they believe what they do. Acknowledging these differences and learning to understand them is a part of a more balanced education.
My readers asked great questions in response to my last article and it is great to see a conversation starting. However, some readers were critical of my message, claiming it was propaganda because it only shared a portion of the story. The latter group missed a prime opportunity to ask a farmer questions.
Growing food is a process that occurs over the course of months and even years, constantly evolving and responding to customer demands. Farming methods are far too complex to describe in just one post. These are things best learned over the course of time and require engaging in a dialogue.
Farmers are reaching out to engage in these conversations with their customers. Although most live miles away from urban areas, farmers are embracing social media, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube videos, and even blogging to share their story of food production with you, their customer.
There are many farmers blogging about what cattle eat at dairies in California and Wisconsin, on beef farms, on grass pasture, or in feedlots. Farmers detail the growing season for a number of crops including corn, wheat, and cotton. There are discussions of different farming methods, including organics, heirlooms, and GMOs.
Farmers know a lot about our food products, the business of farming and caring for the environment. They answer questions about animal welfare, hormones in your milk supply, talk about the contracts with businesses like Monsanto, and describe their decisions to use antibiotics in livestock or the latest plant breeding technologies. If you have questions, there is a farmer somewhere willing to answer from their own experience.
If you have questions about where your food comes from, I encourage you to ask. Follow the farmers' blogs mentioned above. Subscribe to their updates, connect with them on Twitter with the hashtag #agchat, listen to their side of the story, and engage in a conversation. Maybe we can meet in the middle and move forward for the sake of our country's food supply.
Spend some time with these forward-thinking farmers:

Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - Andrew Luck threw for an NFL rookie-record
433 yards and won the battle with fellow first-round draft pick Ryan
Tannehill, as the Indianapolis Colts earned a 23-20 victory over the Miami
Dolphins in a battle of surprising teams at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Neither team was expected to be over .500 entering Week 9 of the NFL season,
especially with rookie quarterbacks at the helm. Only one team left the field
with a winning record, however, as the Colts (5-3) won their third straight
and the Dolphins (4-4) had a three-game win streak stopped.
Luck, the top pick in April's draft, completed 30-of-48 passes with a pair of
touchdowns for the Colts and directed a 13-play, 69-yard drive that ended with
a 43-yard field goal from Adam Vinatieri that provided the winning margin with
5:58 remaining.
Tannehill, selected eighth overall, finished 22-of-38 for 290 yards with a
touchdown in defeat.

A Democratic gun-control package including ammunition limits, expanded background checks and a new ban on campus concealed weapons is closer to passage after Republican efforts to delay the package were foiled Thursday by ruling Democrats.
One Democrat was even called from the bedside of her ailing mother-in-law to steer through the gun-control package over GOP objections. Rep. Lois Court of Denver was excused to attend to her sick relative, but she was summoned to a House committee to keep her bill about background-check fees from being delayed.
The gun-control package was poised for debate by the full House Friday. One Republican was so upset at the looming gun-control debate that he compared the Democratic House to an authoritarian regime that stifles debate.

Two local beaches are among the top beaches to visit in the U.S., according to Coastal Living Magazine.
The magazine listed their "21 Best Beaches" in their July/August edition, and that list includes Atlantic Beach and Ocracoke.
Here's what the magazine has to say about Pine Knoll Shores and Atlantic Beach: "North Carolina's best-kept beach secret is the small resort town of Atlantic Beach in the largely uninhabited Bogue Banks barrier islands. The coastal community of Pine Knolls Shores stretches west from the city center, a strip of fine white sand that's home to the North Carolina Aquarium."
Here's what the magazine has to say about Ocracoke: "Combine your sun and sand with arts and crafts on this funky island in the Outer Banks. The 16-mile-long beach stretches east toward Cape Hatteras, accessible via Highway 12 or, for those with a nose for adventure, by kayak along Pamlico Sound. Swimming, shelling, kite-flying, and wild-horse watching count among the beach activities."

Churchill's Lives
Winston Churchill won the Nobel Prize in Literature for "his mastery of historical and biographical description." Nowhere is that mastery more evident than in Great Contemporaries (1937).
Written in the decade before Churchill became prime minister, these brilliant portraits of the giants of his age offer wisdom for our own. This brand-new illustrated edition of Great Contemporaries profiles towering figures ranging from Franklin Roosevelt, Adolf Hitler, Lawrence of Arabia, and Leon Trotsky to Charlie Chaplin, H. G. Wells, Rudyard Kipling, and George Bernard Shaw.
With his keen powers of observation and knack for the telling anecdote, Churchill not only traces the character of his subjects but also puts his finger on what makes a man great. To be sure, not all the figures profiled here are equally great, and Churchill finds their limitations at least as revealing as their merits.
This handsome new edition of Great Contemporaries—the first in twenty years—includes five bonus essays that have never appeared in previous versions, more than thirty photographs, and an enlightening introduction and annotations by renowned Churchill scholar James W. Muller. It brings back Churchill's unmatched insights and unforgettable prose for a new generation of readers and leaders.
Additional Information
|ISI Books
|What They're Saying...
"By far the most important, thoughtful edition of Churchill's famous personality sketches ever published . . . The indispensable 'desert island' text for any marooned Churchillian."

DON'T FORGET ABOUT USAs far as position battles go, most of the talk during Longhorn camp has centered on the quarterbacks, for obvious reasons. But there are some other high-impact spots still up for grabs, including the three key positions in the place-kicking game
kicker, holder and snapper.On Tuesday night, Greg Johnson kicked with the first unit, which included Neale Tweedie as the deep snapper and Jordan Shipley as the holder. The second unit consisted of freshman Hunter Lawrence as the kicker, walk-on quarterback Adair Fragoso holding and Derek Lokey snapping. The third group that worked out featured Kasey Studdard and Matthew McCoy as the center/holder exchange.The Longhorns figure to find themselves in at least a couple of close games (Mack Brown estimated four nail-biters in his pre-camp press conference), so it's entirely possible that a game or two could be decided in the kicking game. Right now, it's way too early to tell who will wind up winning the place kicking job, but if Lawrence can continue to kick well and handle the pressure in live action, one would have to think that the staff would love to see him win the starting spot. With Johnson in position to hold down the punting and kick-off duties, having Lawrence on field goals and PATs would allow each guy to rest his legs and focus on the necessary task.As for the positions of deep snapper and holder, it looks like the Tweedie and Tully Janszen could split the snapping duties while Shipley looks to be in line to hold for the kickers. Mack Brown summed it all up in his post-practice meeting with the media. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

- Title
- Data sharing: academic libraries and the scholarly enterprise
- Author(s)
- Nicholson, Shawn W.; Bennett, Terrence B.
- Abstract
- Technological advances have raised expectations for data sharing; and financial exigencies have brought the issue into sharper focus, especially as grant-funding institutions are beginning to require shared access to research results and the data that support them. These data are increasingly linked to publications and related resources, thereby making sharing inexorably linked to scholarship itself. In this study, we offer a descriptive analysis of the state of data sharing in sociology as compared with practices among a representative sample of other academic disciplines. We also consider the implications for the research community of trends in data sharing and data access. Finally, we address the unique role of academic librarians as partners in support of disciplinary researchers, teachers, students, and other data users.

David Perron scored two goals and had an assist, and Wade Redden notched his first NHL goal in almost three years to lead the St. Louis Blues to a 4-3 victory over the Dallas Stars on Saturday night.
Both of Perron's goals, as well as Chris Stewart's third of the season, were part of a three-goal second period that turned a 2-1 deficit into a 4-2 lead for St. Louis.
Ryan Garbutt's first goal of the season pulled Dallas to within one 2:24 into the third, but the Stars' late charge fell just short.
Dallas also had a power play for the final 14.3 seconds, but time ran out.
Michael Ryder and Tomas Vincour also scored for Dallas, which fell to 2-2-1 on the year.

Y‑12 National Security Complex was recently recognized for meeting the National Standard of Excellence, awarded by Best Workplaces for Commuters (BWC).
BWC is an innovative program that encourages sustainable transportation. Qualified employers receive national recognition and designation for offering commuter benefits, and this year marks the second year Smart Trips and BWC have recognized local companies.
The Sustainability and Stewardship group estimates that Y‑12's compressed work week prevents more than 190,000 vehicle miles traveled each week and eliminates about 4,500 tons of greenhouse gas emissions each year.

Jerry Massee, a member of the Los Alamos Field Office Cyber Security Team, recently earned recognition as New Mexico Federal Employee of the Year by the New Mexico Federal Executive Board.
Massee provides oversight of the Information Technology and Records Management programs at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The two programs account for $250-$300 million of the lab's $2.1 billion annual budget. As the local interface with NNSA's Headquarters IT office, Massee spearheaded discussions with the Department of Energy regarding the impact that changes in IT requirements would have on LANL. The dialogue resulted in an alternative solution that saved the lab several million dollars and minimized adverse impacts to major software upgrades. The solution also led to significant savings for other contractors across the NNSA enterprise.
More than 100 Pantexans attended the annual Armed Forces Day Celebration at Pantex Wednesday. For more than 15 years, Pantex has hosted a lunch and ceremony to honor those who fought to keep our country free. This year, the Pantex Fire Department Honor Guard presented the colors, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance and the singing of the National Anthem.
More than 700 Pantexans are veterans of the armed forces.
About the photo (top left):
Victoria Hofeldt, Petty Officer, Second Class, U.S. Navy, speaks at the annual Pantex Armed Forces Day Celebration. Hofeldt, who is married to a Pantexan, was the guest speaker and was on hand to speak about the importance of supporting our military personnel. Seated next to Hofeldt is Pantexan and retired U.S. Navy Commander Dave Butler.
Participants in the 10-month Leadership Amarillo and Canyon program recently visited Pantex. During the visit, the participants viewed a security weapon display, toured the Firing Site and experienced the Visitor's Center. They also received an overview on the history of Pantex. Because Pantex tours are not open to the public, the visit was a unique opportunity to learn about one of the top three employers in Amarillo.
The program is designed to introduce leadership development, networking, community awareness and social consciousness to those who want to make a difference in their community.
The Sandia Field Office has been recognized for receiving Technical Qualification Program (TQP) reaccreditation from the Department of Energy. Just four DOE sites have ever obtained TQP accreditation and all are part of NNSA.
NNSA Acting Administrator Neile Miller congratulated SFO in achieving reaccreditation of their TQP and on their commitment to a competent federal workforce.
A multidisciplinary team from DOE conducted the TQP review at SFO last December. An accreditation board, convened by Patricia Worthington by unanimous decision, recommended to DOE Deputy Secretary that he grant TQP reaccreditation to SFO. The memo was approved and signed by the Deputy Secretary on April 8, 2013.
A DOE order requires organizations to conduct periodic self-assessments to evaluate the effectiveness of their TQP. Accreditation is voluntary, goes above and beyond requirements and demonstrates that the site has an effective program in place. Accreditation is valid for four years.
About the photo:
Geoff Beausoleil, NNSA Sandia Field Office Manager, recently accepted an award on behalf of the NNSA Sandia Field Office (SFO) in recognition for the Accreditation of the SFO Technical Qualification Program (TQP). The award was presented by NNSA Acting Administrator Neile Miller and Patricia Worthington, Director of the Office of Health and Safety, Office of Health, Safety and Security.
NATO delegates toured Sandia National Laboratories during a recent three-day visit highlighting the labs' programs that support extended deterrence to U.S. allies, as well as broader national security programs ranging from homeland security to preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
The visitors included more than 50 representatives from 23 European countries, along with officials from the Department of Defense, NNSA, the State Department and other U.S. government agencies.

It's a balance between simplicity of design and robustness for the job. The seals and enclosures being developed by NNSA's Office of Nonproliferation and International Security (NIS) and scientific experts employ technologies to safeguard and secure nuclear materials, weapons or components from diversion, theft, or sabotage – tasks critical to support arms control treaties. Yet these technologies must also be simple to use, provide clear indications of tampering, be suitable and safe for deployment in hostile environments, and not include covert or proprietary features.
That's a tall order, but experts at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and their colleagues in the U.K. are striving to learn what is possible and workable for future arms control treaties that involve the monitoring of nuclear weapons dismantlement. In a bilateral treaty, the monitoring party must rely upon these technologies to confirm that the treaty provisions are being met. In turn, the host must certify that seals and enclosures meet the provisions of the treaty, while protecting sensitive information.
In a dismantlement facility where the host has the opportunity for free access to the monitoring equipment, seals and enclosures can be used to deter unauthorized access to or tampering with the equipment. For the sake of nuclear facility safety and security, monitors may have constraints on the equipment they can bring in for authentication purposes. So the simpler the designs for tamper-indicating seals and enclosures are, the easier they are to authenticate and inspect.
When implemented in tamper-indicating devices, simple designs and defense in depth are concepts that enable treaty partners to safeguard and secure their nuclear items and associated monitoring equipment. NIS's Office of Nuclear Verification continues to support the development of these technologies as part of its contribution to the U.S. nonproliferation and verification agenda.
The 2011 NNSA Future Leaders Program (FLP) participants were honored this week for completing their two-year program at NNSA. Each graduating FLP participant gave a presentation on his or her accomplishments throughout the program.
The objective of the program was to help develop subject matter experts in wide variety of disciplines to ultimately manage programs and projects within NNSA, including managing national defense weapons-related programs at both nuclear and non-nuclear facilities. The program helped strengthen participants' technical knowledge to apply theory to real world problems in actual work situations.
On Monday, the Kansas City Field Office will relocate to the new National Security Campus. Some federal staff will report to the Bannister Federal Complex in a "hoteling" situation to oversee remaining operations and other required duties as needed. The move, which began in January 2013, is expected to take until August 2014 to complete for the entire Kansas City Plant. During that time, the Kansas City Plant will operate at both sites in order to maintain the production schedule.
The address at the National Security Campus is 14520 Botts Road, Kansas City, MO 64147. In addition, the prefix for phone numbers will change from 997 to 488. The 816 area code is the same. To mail a letter, address it to the Kansas City Field Office or Honeywell FM&T, as appropriate.
About the photo:
Kansas City Field Office staffers line up on the steps of the Bannister Federal Complex, a place most have worked for many years. Another group photo will be taken after they arrive at the new National Security Campus. The staffers are changing their commute each morning to drive to a new building eight miles south of the current facility.

What is GNOME?
"GNOME 3 is an easy and elegant way to use your computer. It is designed to put you in control and bring freedom to everybody. GNOME 3 is developed by the GNOME community, a diverse, international group of contributors that is supported by an independent, non-profit foundation." GNOME
Before installing GNOME, ensure that the X Window System has been installed.
Preparing to emerge
To get your system ready to emerge gnome, it is recommended that you first set the gnome profile mix-in. To accomplish this, do the following:
# eselect profile list Currently available mix-ins profiles: [11] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/audio [12] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/console-extras [13] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/dvd [14] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/gnome [15] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/kde [16] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/mate [17] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/media [18] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/print [19] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/python3-only [20] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/rhel5-compat [21] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/server-db [22] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/server-mail [23] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/server-web [24] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/X [25] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/xfce [26] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/vmware-guest [27] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/hardened
After seeing a list of available profiles, we want to add in the appropriate number for the gnome mix-in. To do this, run the following:
# eselect profile add 14
By enabling the gnome mix-in, various USE and other settings will be optimized to provide you with a pain-free GNOME installation experience.
You are provided with two packages that will pull in this desktop environment:
- gnome -- This is the "whole shabang" - pulls in a range of applications made for the gnome desktop environment including a few games, an archive manager, a system monitor, a web browser, a terminal, etc.
- gnome-light
To emerge gnome-light run the following command
# emerge --ask gnome-light
To emerge gnome run the following command
# emerge --ask gnome
Initial Startup
Typically, you will want to use gdm, the GNOME display manager, to log in to GNOME. This will allow you to log in graphically, rather than using the text console.
To enable gdm, edit /etc/conf.d/xdm and set DISPLAYMANAGER to gdm instead of xdm. Then, perform the following steps to add xdm to the default runlevel, and have it start automatically from now on when your system starts:
# rc-update add xdm default # rc

- " I really liked that we had separate fridge in our room. The hairdryer was a good idea in the cupboard. I like that there were two toilets for the whole apartment, and a washing-machine in the bathroom. Dmtrij is a really nice guy, who speaks English well and knows the city. My problem was only with the metro safety, because we were robbed there... "

- " This was a nice hostel, close to the cry centre of town, with a few private rooms. The kitchen doesn't hae a stove but has utensils and some equipment to make toast, toasted sandwiches etc. there are two toilets and one shower, which could have been a little cleaner. The water in the shower kept changing from hot to cold which was a little uncomfortable. Depending on who else stays at the hostel at the time, it could be very quiet and private. In the whole, a pretty good place to stay. "

Holidays are all about family, friends, and tradition. Today, Beate from Galactopdx is hosting this #SundaySupper "Home for the Holidays" event. We are all sharing recipes and traditions from our families.
In my family we have a tradition of making fudge every Christmas Eve. We don't make it any other day of the year, just the 24th. It has to be one of my all time favorite holiday treats. You can often find me sneaking pieces Christmas morning while we are opening presents. This is the recipe we have been making in my family forever. I believe it was originally from the back of the marshmallow fluff jar, but I am not completely sure. You can easily add nuts if that is your thing, but I am a purist and like it without.
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas, and enjoy your time with family and friends. I am taking a couple days off from the blog, but will be back with lots of appetizer ideas for your New Years parties.

The storm system that brought clouds and rain to our area yesterday will continue to move well off the coast this morning. Some lingering clouds will be in the area, but most will be thin enough to allow some sun through. Temperatures will warm into the middle to upper 50s. Highs may hit 60° or lower 60s by Friday afternoon.
A strong cold front will dive through area on Saturday bringing much colder air for the weekend.
*Melting Chocolate Warning*
If left in the car, Valentine chocolates may melt due to the sun and warmth. Best advice is to leave in a shaded part of the car.

Hi guys,
I'm completely new to Alteil; I've played a little Magic: the Gathering a while ago so I'm not completely new to CCGs. I just dropped $30 into the game and bought a Beginner Pack which leaves my Gran at 3400 (I earned some from the Tutorial). I see that there's 12 sets in total so I'm not sure what to do with the rest of my Gran. Is it better to stick to the latest set? Should I get Gold or EX packs or can I stick to regular packs?
Thanks guys!

As government prepares to table the Constitutional Review bill in Parliament on April 18, the opposition camp has said the time provided for gathering public views on the proposed law was too short.
The date was confirmed by the National Assembly director for information, civic education and international relations, Jossey Mwakasyuka at a press conference here.
The leader of the opposition in the House, Freeman Mbowe said the Constitution is a sensitive matter and that he expected the government to avoid rushing the bill to the parliament.
He said instead, more time should have been provided for the public to comment on the bill. "Constitution sets the nation's future. We do not need to rush in this important matter which will afford Tanzanians the opportunity to determine how they should be governed," noted Mbowe.
He said a better alternative was to have the bill published in various newspapers so as to get more views.
"Let the universities, non-governmental organisations and the general public read the bill, because only a few have. We are against any procedure which will give us unacceptable constitution," he said.
He said the opposition position was aimed at ensuring that at the end, the government comes up with a document representing public opinions.
For his part, the former leader of the opposition in the house, Hamad Rashid Mohamed said the House has the powers to rewrite the bill by omitting all 'unwanted' provisions in the national interests.
He pointed out that if the government rejected the amendments, the MPs would reject the entire bill until the necessary changes are made.
The bill is expected to be subjected to the public hearing for the first time on Thursday, in Dodoma and Dar es Salaam. The public hearing sessions led by the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Constititution, Legal and Administration are scheduled to last for two consecutive days and where necessary, the sessions would be extended for a third day.
Last Saturday the said bill came under fire during the symposium held at the University of Dar es Salaam.
Academicians, political party leaders, university students and activists pointed out several sections which needed to be removed or drastically changed.
Among the areas mentioned was the excess powers vested with the President in the process of reviewing the constitution and the provisions which prohibits any person to question the duties of the Constitution Commission also to be formed by the President and the criminal cases against the perpetrators.
However, the National Assembly Clerk Dr Thomas Kashililah told The Guardian in an exclusive interview on Sunday that the stakeholders' concerns cannot stop the House from implementing its duties though some of their opinions will be taken on board.

This shot is an aperture stack... the cable was shot at f/6.3, the background was shot at f/2.2, and the two were manually blended. I previously called it a focus stack, but, strictly speaking, that would entail different focus distances. I focused on the same point and adjusted the aperture to maintain the bokeh along with the highly defined subject.

Water is a common feature in the GTA series to give a more realistic effect on the game in both appearance and ambient sounds. Water surrounds the map to create land for the map. The other common feature shown throughout the series is trees.
2D Universe
In the 2D Universe, water cannot be interacted. If the player walks into the water, or tries to sail a boat, they will instantly die.
3D Universe
By the first game of the 3D Universe, GTA III, the player could find boats to sail. However, if the player drove in to, walked in to or fell in to water they would drown to death. Although, at some parts of the game Claude can be completely submerged in water and not lose health (places like Portland Beach and on the Belleville Park on the lake or in some small water places with no fish but with green lilies on there in Staunton Island ). The water in the game was mostly a non transparent blue color and no fish could be found swimming in it.
GTA Vice City
In GTA Vice City more boats were available to drive in although the player would still die if fully submerged in water. The water was more transparant and overall looked much better than in GTA III and was even home to several different types of sea creatures like sharks and dolphins although they were transparant and not solid, they would not interact with the player. The same as in GTA III, the player can walk over low-emerged water in lakes over the city.
GTA San Andreas
In GTA San Andreas the player was for the first time able to swim in the water and even swim underneath the water, as well as drive several different variety of boats. When underneath the water, CJ would lose oxygen and eventually die if he stayed under water for too long. Strangely the water looked a bit less sparkly and transparant than Vice City's. There were also more sea creatures this time such as Jellyfish and dolphins, however there were no sharks, although many people claim to have seen them, sparking a popular myth.
GTA Liberty City Stories
In GTA Liberty City Stories, as in the games before San Andreas, the player couldn't swim, though they could sail some boats. The water was deep blue-coloured and not transparent. There were no animals in the water.
GTA Vice City Stories
In GTA Vice City Stories, after many complains because swimming was impossible in the previous game (GTA Liberty City Stories), Rockstar made swimming possible again. The water was turquoise, and clearer, but still not transparent. There weren't any water animals.
HD Universe
In GTA IV and the DLC, there are a few boats, clear-looking water and no sea creatures. The player can not go underwater, being restricted to swimming on the surface of the water, non-player characters can also swim for a short period of time. The only actual advantage of water in the HD Universe is that it creates a quicker route between islands, if the player finds a boat. There is an extremely rare glitch where sometimes the rivers and the ocean levels will rise on the coast. A surface of water will float above the street and the levels change again when the weather cheat is continuously activated. Despite the glitch, the game acts like it's solid ground, unless the player enters the actual water outside the coastline. This glitch is so rare that the cause is unknown, but it is probably linked to a bug in the weather cheat. Also, if you drive a vehicle into the water, the entire car will short out. There is also another bug in which when the car's rear or front end is submerged to it's tailights/headlights, the breakable "plastic" covering the inner light will become invisible when seen through the water.
GTA Chinatown Wars
In GTA Chinatown Wars, like in the previous HD Universe games, the player can only swim on the surface. The boats are pretty much the same too, except for the Wet Ski. There are no fish. The water looks rather transparent, so some radioactive waste, as well as some underwater dunes and four "Here Be Dragons!" Easter Egg messages (one in the north-east, one in the north-west, one in the south-east and one in the south-west) can be found.
In GTA V, swimming returns with major upgrades. Just like in GTA San Andreas, the player can swim in and under water, albeit with some changes. To swim underwater, the player must use a scuba suit or sail a submarine. Underwater is much more detailed, and for the first time, there will be sharks. There are also boats and presumably Skimmer planes, that will be able to land and take off on water. Cars are also likely to sink as well, causing anyone trapped inside to die. There are shipwrecks, hidden underwater that have hidden treasures inside, that the player can retrieve for money.

Two Oldham County high schools have three months to make a plan addressing Title IX.
On July 27, the Oldham County Public School System was sent a monitoring letter from the U.S. Department of Education Office of Civil Rights in response to reports submitted by the school district and General Counsel Anne Coorssen.
Coorssen's reports were in response to a complaint of unfair use of facilities at North Oldham High School.
The complaint then expanded to include Oldham County and South Oldham High Schools.

High School Football kicks off in Ohio this weekend and there are some huge games being played around the state, particularly in the Cincinnati area as the 14th annual Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown takes place. BuckeyeGrove.com will be on the road all weekend seeing nearly a dozen games during week one and below we go over some of the top storylines to watch over the course of the weekend. 1. Offensive tackles galoreThere are some outstanding offensive tackles in Ohio for the 2013 class and I could make the argument that I'll be seeing the four best within a 48-hour window this weekend. In fact, I will make that argument as from Thursday through Saturday I will see Canton GlenOak product Steve Mathie, Lakota West product Kyle Meadows, Moeller's Alex Gall, and Centerville's Evan Lisle. These four prospects are my top four junior offensive tackles in Ohio at the moment and all four prospects have a chance to be recruited at a national level. Throw in Huber Heights Wayne center Lovell Peterson and I will be seeing my early top five offensive linemen in Ohio this weekend. Getting a chance to evaluate all four in the same weekend should help shed some light on the early pecking order as all four showed promise as sophomores and look to take the next step in their development. 2. Ohio State targets on the Big StageThe Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown once again has some huge match-ups that will not only greatly impact the pecking order in Ohio but also around the nation. At the center of many of these big games will be Ohio State recruiting targets. On Friday night, Elder will travel Centerville in a must-see game for any high school football enthusiast. In a game that will be extremely physical in the trenches, we'll get to take a look at one of Ohio State's biggest remaining targets in the 2012 class in Centerville defensive end/linebacker Ifeadi Odenigbo. It doesn't stop there, however, as Centerville junior offensive tackle Evan Lisle will be a major target for schools all over the Midwest in the class of 2013. We should also get our first look at 2014 defensive lineman Tito Odenigbo, a 6-foot-3, 230-pound defensive lineman and younger brother of Ifeadi. Saturday features a pair of absolutely huge games as Cincinnati Moeller will square off against Pickerington Central at noon at Nippert Stadium on the campus of the University of Cincinnati. Not only does the game feature two of the top receivers in Ohio in Moeller's Monty Madaris and Central's Roger Lewis, but we may very well see some head-to-head match-ups between outstanding juniors Alex Gall and Taco Charlton. Gall, an offensive tackle for Moeller, and Charlton, a defensive end for Central, are two of Ohio's top junior prospects and Ohio State is recruiting both heavily. Also not to be forgotten is Central offensive lineman Jacoby Boren, an Ohio State commit who will have his hands full as Moeller has some big bodies on their defensive front four. The second big game of the day will be a night game at Dayton Welcome Stadium featuring Middletown against Huber Heights Wayne. Two of Ohio State's biggest targets in the 2013 class will square off in Middletown quarterback Jalin Marshall and Wayne offensive lineman Lovell Peterson. Things will finally wrap up on Sunday as Cincinnati Taft squares off with Friendship Collegiate Academy out of Washington D.C., in a game that will be aired on ESPNU. Taft duo Adolphus Washington and Dwayne Stanford are among the top priorities for Ohio State as they attempt to put the final stamp on the 2012 recruiting class. 3. Who's got next?Every single year, numerous sophomores step up in the Crosstown Showdown and put themselves on the map as legitimate division I recruits, this absolutely never fails. Last year players such as Colerain running back Chris Davis, St. Xavier wide receiver Trey Kilgore, Middletown athlete Jalin Marshall, and Lakota West offensive tackle Kyle Meadows are just a few of the names that burst onto the scene during Crosstown weekend. It's only Thursday but we've already seen one player fall into this category in Walnut Hills product Nilijah Ballew. Ballew, a 6-foot-1, 180-pound safety had an outstanding game on Wednesday night against Wyoming showing a knack for the big hit and a nose for the football. Two more names to watch for this weekend are a pair of receivers in Springfield's Thaddeus Snodgrass and Colerain's Travon Hudson. Both players have had big summers at various camps and 7-on-7's with Snodgrass picking up an early verbal offer from Toledo. So as always, one of the big storylines to follow this weekend will be seeing which sophomores establish themselves as part of the next wave of Ohio talent.

Google Glasses
Google's newest "thing" is called Project Glass. It's very cool, super futuristic and hopefully not as far fetched as it seems. The idea is to have a screen built into a pair of glasses so that your surroundings are augmented with info like directions, reviews, internet access, calendars and phone calls.
Playstation Vita
The Playstation Vita is the newest handheld gaming device on the market. It sports a 5 inch OLED touch screen that offer amazing graphics. The operating system is user friendly and very responsive. The battery life is average at best and one has to buy a proprietary memory card to save game data which adds additional costs. Those are the two biggest draw backs to an otherwise fantastic device.
Google Privacy Changes Effective Midnight, March 1st
The changes Google is making to their privacy policy will take effect at midnight tonight. Read the articles below for information on what this means to you, and how to clear your browsing and search history before the changes take effect.
Life of George
I recently found out about a new Lego game called The Life of George and it's pretty cool! The game includes 144 Lego pieces and a board. To play the game you must also download the app onto an iDevice or smartphone with a camera. After you open the app and choose your first level, it shows you a picture of something to build and then times you as you build it. When you're finished you place the Lego on the center of the board and snap a picture of it. The app then grades it and gives you a score. Scores can be posted online or you can go head to head with friends using the same device.

Today PSGroove via French site Logic-Sunrise.com has posted that the PS JailBreak Cloner x3Max (forerly known as x3JailBreak) is now offering what's called the x3Switch for the PS3 Slim.
To quote: "The x3Max team has noticed an inconvenience PS3 Slim users are facing. Unlike PS3 Fat users, Slim users must unplug their cord every time they want to JailBreak their console.
This is due to the lack of an on off switch on the back of Slim models. However, that inconvenience is eliminated with the arrival of the x3Switch.
The x3Switch is a small device with an on-off switch, that plugs into your PS3 Slim and your power cord. This allows the user to turn off their Slim, prior to JailBreaking, without the need to unplug the cord.
The product is going on sale for a suggested retail price of $19.90 and is shipping to retailers now."

Still no news about the video?? I thought it might come out this thanksgiving as a thanks to all the fans, and since they said something about a tomatoes fight and in someway I can compare a vegetable to food, food to thanksgiving. lol !
Where is this video??
