MANCOS, Colo. - Today, around 1 p.m., fire managers initiated the planned burnout operations on the Weber Fire. The goal was to burn the fuels between the indirect containment lines and the fire perimeter on the north edge safely. This tactic is being used with the expectation of keeping the fire from making a run and crossing the containment line and Highway 160.
Suppression resources assigned to the Little Sand Fire attacked two new fires Friday that resulted from Thursday's lightning storms in the area. One fire east of the Little Sand Fire near the confluence of O'Neal Creek and the Piedra River was contained at less than one acre by firefighters and one engine. A second fire was contained at six acres south of the Little Sand Fire near the confluence of First Fork Creek and the Piedra River by two heavy helicopters, crews and engines.
Lightner Fire: Due to rugged terrain and high temperatures, firefighters were unable to get the fire fully contained today. The 90-acre fire is estimated to be 75% contained. The fire will be turned over to a Type 4 Incident Commander on Saturday. One 20-person crew, one tactical water tender, and one safety officer will continue working on strengthening the containment line and extinguishing hot spots.

MANCOS, Colo. - The blanket of cooler, more humid air that has dampened activity at the Weber Fire for the last three days has lifted. Fuels are drying, which resulted in an increase in fire activity overnight. The fire was actively burning on the slopes below the communication site on the north end of the fire. Overnight, firefighters monitored fire activity while they continued to prepare for burnout operations.
The fire acreage held steady yesterday at 9,279 acres, with 45 percent containment.

According to Variety, the so-called Bible of Show Business, box-office revenue in the U.S. and Canada hit a record $10.8 billion iin 2012.
Some of that success was due to higher ticket prices, but moviegoing also increased, according to Variety. In 2012, admissions rose 6 percent, to 1.36 million -- the most since 2009, and the largest percentage rise in a decade.
If you're a movie fan, you're probably glad attendance is healthy, and you probably don't begrudge the theater owners their revenues. Even so, you probably don't like the ticket prices. So here's your chance to see plenty of movies without spending a dime on tickets.
Yes, once again, it's time for the annual "Beat Beifuss" contest, which pits you, the reader, against me, the whatever, in a battle of Academy Awards predictions.
If you pick more winners than I do in ten top Oscar categories, you have a chance to win 20 tickets to Malco theaters. And since a non-matinee adult ticket costs $10.50 (or $13.50 for 3D), 20 ticket's aint' hay. (In this contest, now in its 17th year, the prize stays the same year after year, but the value goes up!)

True Friendship
This is about the people who try and try to be your friend, but stab you in the back after everything you've been through.
This is about any type of friend also. (best friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, guyfriends, etc)
What is the true meaning of becoming someone's friend even though you don't like them and end up stabbing them in the back.
This is about an experience i've had and am having right now.
You see, in the past, I had a friend that was my "bestie" for 6 years. She was there for me when my boyfriend broke up with me. Then she turned around and stopped being my friend altogether because she was dating my ex.
Now I'm in a situation where my current boyfriend had a friend that I was could friends with in highschool, who hates me and thinks that I made my boyfriend choose between him or me. Not to mention my boyfriend's ex is bothering me and telling me that he doesn't give two shits about me, but she want's him back.
Any advice?
-feeling small, insignificant, and helpless. Heather-
hmm,you know that brings me back to school, it was all about different prioritys. Friends will be friends through good and bad, they'll love you no matter what. You'll know when you find them. If they backstab, eh, not worth your energy and someone you don't need in your circle of friends anyway, better to find out sooner than later.
The b/f's ex, hmm if she doesn't want him back, why would she bother you? Maybe she's not liking that he's happier with YOU than her. Don't let her get to you, again not worth your energy. You and the b/f are happy, that's all that matters. And your b/f's friend, probably jealous that he's spending more time with you and less time with him. That is natural. You can't made the b/f chose, that is up to him and if he wants to spend time with his friend, he'll make the time, you could all hang out.
Don't let his ex get to you....be happy with your b/f and go with that.
imo :D

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stocks soared higher Tuesday, with banks fronting the surge, as the Federal Reserve axed its benchmark interest rate to a record low and said it would buy large amounts of debt and securities to flood the financial system with money.
Beyond its slashing interest rates to just about zero, the Fed's campaign to save the U.S. economy involves an array of new economic measures to stimulate spending. Read The Fed.
Climbing nearly 400 points in the wake of the Fed decision, the Dow Jones Industrial Average /quotes/zigman/627449/realtime DJIA -0.19% closed at 8,924.14, up 359.61 points, or 4.2%.
"We had thought they were throwing as much at this crisis as they could, but lo and behold, they found more to do. Now the question is will this do the trick, will this restore confidence and stabilize the financial system?" said Hugh Johnson, chairman of Johnson Illington Advisors.
"The answer is nobody knows, except to say financial market history is also clear, and that is the turn can come at us very unexpectedly, or like a thief in the night, or we reach those magical moments when confidence turns on a dime," said Johnson.

Associated Press
PARR, Ind. —
State officials are investigating whether the Midwest's lingering drought or something more complex is causing wells to go dry near a small northern Indiana town.
The Journal & Courier reports that the private wells of more than a dozen homes near the Jasper County town of Parr have gone dry in recent weeks, leaving residents with the costly prospect of drilling deeper wells.
Inspectors from the state Department of Natural Resources' Division of Water were scheduled to visit the town about 55 miles northwest of Lafayette today to evaluate the wells.
Some residents blame the state's lingering drought for their dried-up wells. But others believe water use by a sprawling dairy farm and farmers irrigating parched fields are drying up their wells by lowering the water table.

There has been quite a bit of local chatter lately about the former Olde Towne Tavern & Grille site in Suwanee.
The official line is that there has been "significant interest" in the site in Town Center, which has been vacant since December 20, 2012, according to a spokesperson for the landlord.
"Hopefully soon, we'll have a new tenant," said leasing agent Sue East of Madison Retail, which controls the commercial properties in Town Center.
-- Would you like to see Olde Towne reopened in Suwanee? Or would you like to see another type of restaurant/business in the site? Share your comments below.
East declined to elaborate further about the site's prospects.
Olde Towne closed abruptly in December in a bankruptcy proceeding. Owner Robert Moravek had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July 2013. However, the case was converted to Chapter 7 by a bankruptcy judge in December, at the request of the trustee.
Chapter 7 required an immediate shutdown for liquidation purposes. Chapter 11 would have allowed the owner to continue operating the restaurant with a recovery plan.
Court documents dated November 20 showed that the trustee felt that the Olde Towne owner was not complying with the Chapter 11 terms. The documents said:
- Olde Towne owner's operating statements for July through September 2012 were "inaccurate and inconsistent."
- As of September 2012, the owner had "past due sales taxes in excess of $8,000."
- The owner "has failed to provide documentation to support its position that cash transactions in excess of $43,000 in the ninety days prior to filing (for bankruptcy) were for business purposes."
Moravek had owned the Suwanee site since 2011. Olde Towne had operated in Suwanee since the mid-2000s.
Olde Towne also operates a franchise in Lawrenceville. Under Moravek, the Suwanee site operated independent of company control.

Olympics could boost Lake District hotels
The 2012 Olympic Games could bring a much needed boost to Lake District hotels and other businesses operating in the area.
This is according to the national park's chief executive Richard Leafe, who explained that 2012 will be a tough year for many organisations.
He commented: "The Olympics is obviously going to be the big event of 2012 and I think there's a great opening for us all to ensure that the national park gets it share of attention."
Mr Leafe highlighted that when the Olympic torch passes through the Lake District on June 21st, media attention will be placed on the area, which may encourage bookings at hotels in Windermere.
More people will hopefully decide to holiday at home and see exactly what the adventure capital of the UK has to offer, the expert added.
It was recently announced that Mintfest would continue in the Lakes next year, thanks to a new round of funding.

Adding Configurable Logging to Your PHP Scripts
This tip shows how to add logging to your PHP script and how to add configuration so you have basic, configurable logging. The PHP script requires two PEAR packages, Log and Config. To use the code in shown in this tip, you'll need to PEAR installed along with PHP and you'll need to install both the Log and the Config PEAR packages. To install the two packages type:
pear install Log Config
The Configuration File
The Config package supports several different configuration sources, including XML and the standard INI file format. INI configuration files can have one or more sections in them, such as the [Logging] section shown in this example. Shown here is a simple INI file example, containing two keys for the logging configuration: the log_file key which contains the full path to the log file and the log_level key, which contains a string representation of the minimum logging level that will be logged.
[General] # Some configuration values here. [Logging] log_file=C:\path\to\logs\logfile.txt log_level=error
The Code
The PHP script that uses the two packages looks like this:
parseConfig('C:\\path\\to\\my.ini', 'IniFile'); if (isset($configRoot)) { $settings = $configRoot->toArray(); } else { throw Exception("Unable to load configuration."); } $logfile = $settings['root']['Logging']['log_file']; $loglevel = $settings['root']['Logging']['log_level']; # Create the instance of the logger $logger = &Log::factory('file', $logfile, 'MyScript'); # Transforms the string, 'error' to an integer priority to use for # calculating the mask. $mask = Log::MAX($logger->stringToPriority($loglevel)); # Sets the mask for the logger. $logger->setMask($mask); # Now try logging a bunch of messages to see what happens $logger->debug('My debug message'); $logger->info('My info message'); $logger->notice('My notice message'); $logger->warning('My warning message'); $logger->err('My error message'); $logger->crit('My critical message'); $logger->alert('My alert message'); $logger->emerg('My emergency message'); ?>
The Results
When you run the script, you'll get the following output:
Nov 20 13:34:58 MyScript [error] My error message Nov 20 13:34:58 MyScript [critical] My critical message Nov 20 13:34:58 MyScript [alert] My alert message Nov 20 13:34:58 MyScript [emergency] My emergency message
How it Works
When the script runs, the Config class parses the INI file and puts the sections and keys into an associative array structure. The array element root is always the root element, then the section header is nested within root, with the keys (log_file and log_level) associated with the section header. To access the log_file value, the script uses
The Log::MAX() method tells the logger to set a mask that will mask everything from debug to a maximum of error. This will mask anything considered less important in priority than an error, blocking those less important messages from being written to a log.
Adding configurable logging levels to your PHP scripts can be a good way to eliminate "scrolling blindness", which occurs when there are too many logging messages to sift through.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Bradford barristers take industrial action over legal aid cuts
Updated 12:23pm Monday 6th January 2014 in News By Steve Wright, Crime Reporter
Bradford barristers urged the public to support them as they took industrial action today in their fight to stop legal aid cuts which they say will hit the criminal justice system.
Dozens of lawyers protested outside Bradford Crown Court as part of a half-day national stoppage - the first time in legal history they had refused to attend court.
The Government is proposing a further 20 per cent cut in legal aid fees as part of £220million savings from the legal aid budget.
But Michelle Colborne QC, head of Broadway Chambers in Bradford, said: "The very future of our criminal justice system is in jeopardy by the imposition of savage cuts to funding. We will not sit idly by and watch its destruction."

Dr. Richard Izquierdo Health and Science Charter School
BRONX NY 10456 Map
Dr. Richard Izquierdo Health and Science Charter School
What's special:
The downside:
The InsideStats
Our review
Dr. Richard Izquierdo Health & Science Charter School promises to train students to be certified as Emergency Medical Technicians. However, the school has significant problems with order and discipline.
A teacher was arrested in 2012 and charged with hitting a 12-year-old girl and sitting on her, according to news reports. Students complain of gang activity and fights in the school, and 20 percent say they don't feel safe in class, according to the Learning Environment Survey. Some 70 percent of teachers say order and discipline are a problem. A review by the state found that students talked out of turn and did not complete assigned tasks.
There is friction between the principal and the staff: 60 percent of teachers responding to the survey said they mistrust the principal and called him a bad manager, according to the survey.
Founded with a 6th grade in 2010, the school will expand by one grade each year until it serves students in grades 6 through 12. The school is the brainchild of Dr. Richard Izquierdo, a pediatrician for over 40 years and founder of Urban Health Plan (UHP), a network of health centers providing medical services to the South Bronx and Queens.
The school shares a large building (the former home of IS 158, which was closed in 2007) Bronx Career and College Preparatory High School and Bronx Latin.
Admissions: By lottery. Check the school's website for more information. (Clara Hemphill, news reports and DOE statistics, September 2012)

The spread plate technique is used for the enumeration of aerobic microorganisms from the given sample. This can be done by serial diluting the samples, placing 0.1ml of the diluted sample in the middle of an agar plate and spreading the sample over the surface with a help of an L-rod. After incubating it in a suitable temperature for a period of time the colonies can be counted.
Before start the experiments always spray 70% alcohol on the table and inside laminar hood. While performing the experiments always wear lab safety glasses to prevent chemical irritants from entering the eyes and facemask for protecting spores from entering your body. Use lab gown to avoid damage of your clothes. Wear lab shoes or slippers to prevent any cut or burns that may occur while handling chemicals and lab equipments. Gloves must be removed or changed before touching any other laboratory surfaces or equipment and washing your hand before leave from lab room. Take care while handling the microorganisms. They can cause diseases if not taken good care of.
Countable limit of this procedure is 30 to 300 colonies per plate. If the number of colonies in the plate is less than 30, centrifuge the suspension and increase the concentration and repeat the experiment again. If the colonies in the plate is more than 300, dilute the sample 10 folds and repeat the experiment again.

Mets Game 119: Loss to Astros
Astros 4 Mets 3
Ace starter Johan Santana pitched another complete game, but hurled less than 9 frames, allowed 4 runs, and was saddled with a loss.
Does anyone care?
Game Notes
All 4 runs Santana gave up were earned, as he allowed 9 hits, one walk, and struck out 7. Not a bad appearance by any means, but not nearly good enough to win when your offense comes from Flushing. Johan was bit by the longball, as he allowed two homers by Hunter Pence — a three-run job in the first frame, and a solo shot in the 8th. Had Pence sat out, the Mets might've won this one.
Meanwhile, David Wright looks to be out of his slump, as he blasted his 18th homer of the season.
Jose Reyes and Josh Thole each went 2-for-4, and Santana stroked one of the Mets' 8 hits.
Former Met Nelson Figueroa went five frames and allowed only one earned run on 4 hits and 3 walks, striking out 4. The Houston bullpen took over from there and former Yankee prospect Mark Melancon was the recipient of the victory after blowing a 3-2 lead by allowing Wright's tater in the top of the 8th. Sometimes there isn't any justice in this system of wins and losses.
The Mets are now one game under .500. To put that into perspective, the Wild Card-leading Phillies are 16 games over .500. There are 43 games left in the season. You do the math.
Next Mets Game
Game three begins at 8:05 PM on Wednesday night. R.A. Dickey faces Brett Myers.

"Does anyone care?"
That certainly is a good question, Joe.
A lot of my friends are so disgusted with The Mets at this point, they are looking forward to football. And those are not the "meaningful games in September" that Mr. Wilpon had in mind when he uttered that ridiculous phrase years ago.
I am so glad to have other things going on in my life. The Mutts are pathetic, and not worthy of a following.

Solar FAQs — Concentrating Solar Power — Applications
Q: Since the sun doesn't shine 24 hours a day, can we count on solar energy to supply power when we need it?
A: Concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies can include cost-effective thermal storage techniques. These allow a CSP system to set aside the heat energy that accumulates during the day for later conversion to electric power. CSP plants can also be part of a hybrid power system, in which one part runs on fossil fuels. Both options enable CSP plants to generate electricity even when the sun isn't shining — for example, at night or during cloudy weather.
Other Resources:
Q: Since concentrating solar power plants are reliable, why haven't more been built in the last few years?
A: One reason is the relatively low cost of fossil energy in most areas of the United States. The majority of today's power plants run on inexpensive coal. And the current utility environment generally favors new natural gas power plants, which have comparatively low initial costs (first costs). With fossil fuel plants, however, customers (ratepayers) must bear the risk of higher fuel costs in the future.
Other Resources:
Q: Since Solar Two is no longer operating, are solar power tower plants considered failures?
A: Some of the following documents are available as Adobe Acrobat PDFs. Download Acrobat Reader.
Other Resources: For general information about CSP, please see the U.S. Department of Energy's Sunlab Web site
Q: Do concentrating solar power (CSP) plants require a lot of land? How much, exactly?
A: Relatively speaking, no. Consider Hoover Dam, for example. Nevada's Lake Mead, which is home to the dam, covers nearly 250 square miles. In contrast, a CSP system occupying only 10 to 20 square miles could generate as much power annually as Hoover Dam did in one recent year. And if we take into consideration the amount of land required for mining, CSP plants also require less land than coal-fired power plants do.
Other Resources:
Q: Where are the best places to build a concentrating solar plant?
A: In the United States, the Southwest is ideal for concentrating solar power plants. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has developed highly accurate maps of solar resources for the United States and many other regions; these resource maps allow us to assess potential sites with great accuracy.

Kumgang status updateThursday, June 2nd, 2011
Pictured above (Google Earth): April 2010 satellite imagery of the Kumgang tourist resort
The Kumgang resort was receiving 400,000 visitors per year until in July 2008 it became the scene of a terrible tragedy, the shooting of a South Korean tourist. Following the incident, the South Korean government prohibited its citizens from visiting the resort until the DPRK allowed a joint-Korean investigation of the shooting and made a guarantee of future safety. The DPRK never agreed to these terms so the park fell idle.

A bill that would reduce the number of high-stakes testing that Texas high school students require to graduate passed the Senate yesterday.
House Bill 5, authored by Joe Deshotel, would lower the number of requisite end-of-course exams from 15 to 5. It would also provide more pathways to higher education by moving away from the "4 by 4" plan and allowing students to concentrate more on the field they wish to enter after graduation.
This news is music to the ears of Texas educators currently in the midst of administering end-of-course exams.
"All administrators were pushing for it," said Robert Madding, superintendent of Nederland Independent School District. "It's a great thing for students, because they're not going to be burdened with numerous exams. I'm for it."
HB 5 passed the Senate unanimously with a 31-0 vote, Deshotel said, and the House with a vote of 147-3. On Thursday, it will be turned over to a conference committee comprised of five House members appointed by Speaker Joe Straus, and five Senate members appointed by Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst.
"It has quite a bit to go," Deshotel said.
Together, the Senate and the House added 23 amendments to HB 5, none of which changed the bill significantly.
"The most important parts that I was really concerned with is that they kept the five EOC tests," Deshotel said. "Both the Senate and House bills have five. We just have to reconcile what those are."
The House's tests included English 2 (reading), English 2 (writing), Biology, Algebra 1 and U.S. History. The Senate's included English 1 and 2, as well as a requirement that students take Algebra 2 and English for diagnostic purposes. The House required 24 credits for graduation, while the Senate required 26.
Another addendum — while the House switched to a rating system of letter grades for districts, the Senate wants to provide letters for only districts and continue to rate individual campuses Exemplary, Recognized, Acceptable or Unacceptable.
"My opinion is that most schools are currently rated Acceptable, which means they would be rated C," Deshotel said. "I don't think superintendents like that."
Deshotel said all the differences will be reconciled in the conference committee, after the House votes not to concur with the Senate's amendments. The members of the conference committee will be the authors of the final bill.
"Our biggest fear is that the governor is going to veto it," Deshotel said. "But the conference committee will probably be working with the governor's office to make sure we don't come out with a bill that we know he's going to veto."
Deshotel said teachers all across Texas are excited at the prospect of HB 5.
"It's going to cut the dropout rate and give people some alternatives," he said. "It's going to help hundreds of thousands of Texas students."

Business Capital and Electronic Payments: Insights from National Small Business Week 2014
by kmurray, Community Moderator
- Created: June 18, 2014, 1:00 pm
As a small business owner or entrepreneur, you know how important access to capital is to success. And we know it, too! During last month's National Small Business Week (NSBW) events, which were held across the country and online, it was a topic addressed by our speakers and panelists as they shared experience and insights. One of those speakers was Janet Zablock, Head of Global Small Business at Visa, who talked about using electronic payments for your small business. Here's a look at what she had to say.
Whether you're a looking to start a new business or running an existing operation, Zablock starts, entrepreneurs face challenges when it comes to access to capital – an understood foundation to success, given that so many cite lack of funds as a reason for failure in the first few years. But the second piece to this access-to-capital puzzle? The flow of capital on a daily basis, or the "lifeblood" of small businesses, as Zablock puts it.
Citing Visa's recent quarterly survey of small business owners, in the top five concerns of small business owners is how to manage cash flow. "If a small business lacks a secure, reliable and convenient way to pay and be paid, there's a good chance you'll be in a tough place," Zablock says. You won't have funds you need to buy inventory, meet payroll or pay bills. And no matter how great customer service is to bring in good business, without capital flow, it can be a recipe for disaster.
That's where using electronic payments can come in to help. Zablock touts this method as a way to meet daily needs and to address a lot of pain points she's heard from small businesses. There's time and cost savings associated with not having to handle cash or checks; not needing to count money; and skipping trips to the bank and avoiding cell phone use for deposits.
Zablock mentioned another interesting finding from the survey – that the top desire of small business owners is to attract new customers and grow their businesses. Until recently, the most important thing on business owners' minds was to simply stay afloat, not necessarily grow. In more optimistic economic times, entrepreneurs are broadening their looks ahead.
So what's the connection between wanting to grow your business and electronic payments? Zablock points out that an entire customer base – young adults – are much more inclined toward electronic methods than their parents' generation of cash or check. Many don't carry checkbooks or even cash, so supporting electronic payments opens your business up to a different kind of customer. This is increasingly relevant when you consider the use of mobile technologies as well (smart phones, tablets, etc.)
The potential benefits of electronic payment that Zablock mentions are clear: efficiency, cost savings and growing your business. So it may be worth researching further to determine if it's something you should implement for your small business venture. SBA is also here to help if you have questions about capital.

I am a pioneer small business person who never borrowed any amount in my 34
years of business. Now that I am wanting my business to continue after I am
"gone" I made a huge mistake of setting out to get an SBA loan. Among other
"costs" I went from having a credit score of over 800 to 500. People need to
be very cautious if they are led to believe SBA loan applications can't be
very costly. SBA is simply not totally honest.

Over priced in parts, Poor design
My Intake gasket blew, (Very common) Replaced that.
Interior leaks on passenger side. Water leaking over the computer.
Replaced many new parts just to get it running right, (Rough Idle), Seems to be very common. The egr valve is bad,
But many other possiblities.
Bought another alternator, Come to find out it was the red lead wire coming from the alternator to the battery was bad. Replaced that.
Replaced the ignition control module (icm). $300.00 at the dealer. $80.00 at a local auto parts store.
General Comments:
When I bought this car I had many high hopes of making the car look sharp. Now it seems the only hopes I have is getting the car to run right. Yesterday after it rained I noticed it is leaking water into the passenger side floor board right over the computer. This car seems to be one problem after the other. Though I only paid $255.00 for it. I paid to much for a car that seems to never end with the problems. After I sell this car I will never own another gm product. All they want is your money!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Party Pumps
In addition to showcasing these fabulous shoes, we'd also like to suggest a little outfit advice, courtesy of Lily Collins. The former GOTM offered a shining example of perfect pumped-up party-wear when she wore a pair of Jimmy Choo for H&M High Heel Strap Shoes ($80) to a recent event. We appreciate the way she showed off her superb sandals by styling them with abbreviated harem pants and a sequined jacket; the resulting outfit is on-trend, easy to achieve, and very cost effective! Feel free to create your own celebratory ensemble with one of our shoe selections, just remember that wherever the night takes you: don't be tardy for the party!
Topshop Stagger Platform Feature Heel ($135)
At Louis Vuitton's F/W 09 show, models strutted down the runway in fancy frocks, bunny ears, and architectural heels. Although many of the party dresses shown were jewel-toned, the more modest black and gray versions were accented with equally enriched hues by way of pretty pumps. We couldn't help but think of those excellent accessories when we saw these sumptuous geometric heels, as they echo the runway's aesthetic and offer a little eighties edge. We'd pair these directional pumps with any solid-colored party dress to give it some sharp style, or knock out a high-powered look befit for any editor-in-training with cropped pants, a simple t-shirt, and a piece of strong-shouldered outerwear.
Steve Madden Francina Pump ($120)
This flower-bedecked heel takes a classic black pump and launches it from basic to bold with the addition of an oversized bloom. The large rosette-adornment is cheeky but not cheesy, and reminds us of some of the best styles seen on Carrie Bradshaw's feet-she is the queen of hyperbolic flora after all! More recently, the big bloom also alludes to the ladylike looks seen on Valentino's F/W 09 runway, where knee and ankle-length pencil skirts were styled with bow-embellished heels. Both muses prove that festive footwear is best when it's chock-full of character, but luckily, unlike the styles worn by the SATC star, this pair won't cost you your rent!
Reiss Roxette Animal Pointed Court Shoe ($253)
One of our new obsessions du jour is the London-based line Reiss. While that might sound silly since they've been around since the seventies, the brand's recent collections have been noticeably fashion-forward, with an exceptionally eye-catching shoe collection this fall. These animal-print pumps particularly struck our fancy, thanks to their tasteful heel height and the novelty of the gilded zebra stripe. As we continue to investigate chic ways to incorporate a multitude of of-the-moment animal accents in our wardrobe, we'll use this shimmery heel to spice up a modern suit of black harem pants and a boyfriend blazer, though they'd also look swell with a demure frock too!
Chinese Laundry Ladybug Pump ($80)
One of our most impressively wallet-friendly finds of the day, this sequined shoe is perfect for adding a hint of glamour to any ensemble. The splash of sequins is completely au courant and can instantly turn an outfit from casual to luxe. Pair them with unfussy wardrobe essentials for a touch of polished pizzazz or try them with your edgier favorites for a great girls' night out look. Either way, just make sure you're wearing an interesting polish-emerald green, perhaps?-as the peep-toe style will show it off!
Guess by Marciano Barrie Platform Pumps ($148)
Platforms pumps were seen in spades on the fall runways, with nearly every major house showing a pair. Personally, we're thrilled with this trend, because not only does it make for a super-comfortable stiletto, the added height makes your legs look like they go on for days! We were captivated by the glamorous allure of the Guess by Marciano heels for their jazzy lizard texturing and elegant bronze sheen-a party-perfect pair, indeed! Wear them with some little leather leggings or a one-shoulder mini dress for a sophisticated and striking holiday look.

Exclusive mode on a Windows and NT disk can mean different things for both local and external (SAN) based disk storage. In a nutshell, exclusive mode is used to protect and maintain data integrity for a disk device.
For example, in a clustered or shared access environment, a specific server needs to have exclusive access to a disk or LUN at a time. For NAS or Windows shared storage, the server that has primary attachment to the LUN may have exclusive access to the disk. Another example of exclusive mode is when a maintenance or system tool needs to take exclusive access of a disk or LUN for some specific purpose.

Original recipe yields 1 10 inch spring form pan
- Brush the ladyfingers with rum and use them to line the bottom and sides of a 10 inch spring form pan.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Remove from heat and add 24 oz. of chocolate chips; stir until melted. Cool slightly, then beat egg yolks into the mixture, one at a time, until smooth. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until they form stiff, but not dry, peaks. Fold the whites into the chocolate mixture and pour into the lined pan. Chill in refrigerator for 6 hours.
- In a large bowl, whip the cream with an electric mixer until thick. Blend in sugar and vanilla, and whip until stiff peaks form. Invert the chilled cake onto a serving platter and remove the sides and bottom of the pan. Spread a layer of whipped cream over the entire cake, and pipe the remaining whipped cream in a decorative pattern of your choice. In the top of a double boiler, melt the 1/2 chocolate chips with the oil. Cool, then drizzle over finished cake. Refrigerate until serving.

fairly simple to make, but looks fancy and elegant. i thought the proportions for whipped cream made more than the cake couls hold, so it could be cut back some--or just top with cool whip if in a hurry. i substitued rum for vanilla in the whipped cream for a touch more of that flavor. i'll definately be using this one again and soon!
Rich and Yummy... And if you use the Spring Form Pan as directed it unmolds easily.

With the LG Optimus 3D, there's more to the name than you might think.
Unveiled at the Mobile World Congress, this smartphone will not only sport a 4.3-inch, WVGA glasses-free 3D display, but will also feature three other Ds: it will be the world's first smartphone to feature dual-core, dual-channel, and dual-memory architecture.
As it will be powered by a 1 GHz dual-core, dual-channel processor from TI, LG is promising that this model will offer better performance than other 1 GHz multi-core chips, especially when playing games or watching video.
LG is putting its own 3D user interface on this device which includes five screens: Gallery, Camera, Game&App, YouTube 3D, and 3D Guide.
3D Video, Too
In addition to the smartphone's 3D viewing capabilities, it will also be able to record videos in 3D, thanks to its dual 5-megapixel, rear-facing cameras. It will support 720p in 3D mode, or 1080p when recording 2D video.
Google and LG are working together on a new YouTube app for devices like this; videos can be uploaded or watched from www.youtube.com/3D
Other Hardware Details
Upon its release, the Optimus 3D will run Google Android OS 2.2 (Froyo), but it will eventually be upgradeable to Android OS 2.3 (Gingerbread).
It will be able to connect to 4G HSPA+ cellular networks, and will also have 8 GB of memory, a 1500 mAh battery, and DLNA/HDMI support.
Pricing & Availability
The Optimus 3D will be released first in Europe at the beginning of the second quarter of this year.The European carrier Three has already committed to offering it.
LG has yet to disclose any pricing information about this smartphone, nor anything about a U.S. release.

The rise of online hate and how to shut it down
Published in Cosmopolitan, October 2011. Copyright Rachel Hills 2011.
Cosmo investigates why the internet brings out the nasty side in some people – and reveals how women are fighting back…
When Melbourne blogger Sarah Kempson, 27, (sarahsstyleemporium.onsugar.com) won a competition to write about fashion for a major shopping centre, she was warned that the comments might get a little bit nasty…
As the photos of Sarah wearing the centre's clothing ranges were uploaded, the anonymous vitriol rolled in: "Your boobs look droopy in that playsuit." "That top makes you look like a street-walker."
Catty, definitely, but not unusual. The internet has unleashed a less savoury side to our personalities, it seems. As UK columnist Tanya Gold observed, "Pre-Twitter, only a maniac would write anonymous hate mail. Now it is normal and socially acceptable."
But if new US reality show H8R – in which celebs like Kim Kardashian and Jersey Shore's Snooki confront their detractors in person – is any indication, the "hated" are ready to fight back…
Why all the hate?
The angry basement-dweller hiding behind their computer screen is a familiar stereotype, but it's not just the cloak of anonymity that makes us more inclined to lash out online. In many corners of the internet, being catty is "cool", as she who is most scathing wins the most followers, book deals and virtual high fives.
Psychologist Kate Swann* likens it to teenagers "slagging each other off" while they tan their legs in the playground. It's also a response to contemporary celebrity culture, which not only demands we worship people we might not believe are worthy, but also gives us the tools to transform into figures of worship ourselves.
Sites like Hollywood Snark and The Superficial play to our suspicions that the stars aren't as "all that" as glossy magazines suggest. Get Off My Internets, a snark blog that turns its eye to self-styled web celebs, is as much a critique of narcissism, bad self-Photoshop and blatant grabs for free products as it is of dubious fashion choices
and (supposedly) dimpled thighs.
But Stanford University psychiatrist Elias Aboujaoude, author of Virtually You: The Dangerous Powers of the E-Personality, is not convinced. "It is easy to justify online bullying if we convince ourselves the target somehow deserves it, but I disagree with that approach," says Aboujaoude. "It would be healthier to politely criticise disagreeable online traits such as narcissism without resorting to cyber bullying tactics ourselves."
The painful truth
That online haters don't have to look their victims in the eye makes it easier to "just let fly," says Swann. "You often find that bullies have very little awareness that their actions might be hurting someone."
But, of course, they do. "You can be in a great mood and then you log on to Twitter and the pit of your stomach just
drops," says Sydney style blogger Caitlin Bradley (closet-confessions.com), who – like the bloggers profiled on Get Off My Internets – has been accused of being "selfish" or "just [blogging] to get famous".
Speaking out
The very public nature of cyber-hate can make it hurt even more than other types of criticism, as Anna Rose, 28, discovered when she appeared on ABC's Q&A in May.
As cofounder of the Australian Youth Climate Coalition, Anna is no stranger to hate mail. She has even been on the receiving end of "very graphic" death threats. But none of that prepared her for the discovery that someone had been watching her while she ate dinner before the show: tweeting what she was eating, making comments about her
weight and suggesting she wasn't smart enough to come up with her own talking points for television.
The tweets were outweighed by more positive comments during the show itself, but Anna couldn't bring herself to
look at them. "I thought about deleting my Twitter account altogether," she recalls. "It would be so much easier just to insulate myself from anonymous jerks."
Instead she decided to fight back, writing about the experience on her blog (annarose.net.au) and even contacting the
user who posted the original offensive tweets. He was unsympathetic, but plenty of others felt differently.
Anna's blog post went viral, reaching thousands of readers and attracting more than 100 comments, offering everything from sympathy to advice on how she could track the user down and report him to the Australian Federal Police (it is an offense under Australian law to use the internet to abuse or threaten a person). "For me, writing about what happened was so important in being able to move on from it. I feel a lot stronger now that I've talked about it openly," she says.
Her next step? Stopping this kind of abuse from happening to other women. "We need to support young women to be
