So I felt the need to take a bit of a break from JustUsBoys after my own little booze-fueled meltdown in combination with far too much drama on here. I do apologize for my actions and hope said people forgive me.
Unfortunately, said drama entered into my RL too and it got me thinking again whether drama follows me around or I resonate some type of aura that attracts it. The first crazy event was not even of my doing. A neighbor rang the doorbell at around 1:30am and said "my brother
I'm just sitting in my dorm on a thursday night (those of you that have been to college know that, today is the worst day of the week) and I should be doing but homework for my 830 math class but dont really want to. Really Im just excited about going on my first date in a long while with a guy. Hes really cute and I we have alot in common. I wouldnt be surprised if we hookup but I want it to go slow because this could be a good relationship.

My name is Kerstin and I currently live in NYC. I have been making bentos for a few months now, basically since my husband was diagnosed with celiacs and we were trying to figure out a way for him to have gluten free lunches (on a budget!). I've always loved cooking & I love japanese food, so after a little googling I came to justbento. I was completely convinced after I purchased the Just Bento Cookbook. This book is amazing and very inspiring. It encouraged me to try out a lot of different foods & be more creative with my food. My husband & I both love our lunches and I love making the bentos. I mostly cook the night before and I actually find it very relaxing. Even getting up a little earlier to make fresh bentos isn't as bad as it seemed at first. Just yesterday morning I made my first Fat Sushi Roll Bento and it was so worth it! I was so yummy, my husband actually called me to tell me how much he liked it. I also like to take pictures of my bentos and send them to my sister or mom, but they don't seem to appreciate it as much as I want them to ^^ That's why I'd love to join here and talk bento, show off my pictures, see other people's wonderful food pictures & get even more inspired to make amazing bentos...
Oooh, Maki, I didn't know you were at Kinokuniya Bookstore in NYC recently. Now I'm all sad I missed that, I work literally 1 minute from there.

I was amazed by the weight of the main unit of this trimmer.
It's featherlight. At first I thought, I am almost cheated coz
I didn't expect such a light weight and sleek trimmer to work like
super fast and powerful.
On I put it to charge. There I used it on my beard and
boy..It worked. It worked like amazing to say the least.
Can't still believe such a power-packed professional grade
grooming kit comes light weight.
If budget is not a constraint and if quality and performance is your priority.
Andis SlimLiner BTF2 should be THE product of your choice.
VERY STRONGLY RECOMMENDED based on my experience of buying and wasting monies on poor quality trimmers, clippers, groomers and all of those which claim the sky but don't work the ground.

Meijer Gardens prepares for butterfly exhibit
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids is getting ready to open its 18th annual "Butterflies Are Blooming" exhibit.
The event at the West Michigan attraction opens to the public March 1 and media recently got a sneak peak at butterflies in their chrysalis form.
Meijer Gardens is getting deliveries of hundreds of chrysalides a week. They first will be placed in the Butterfly Bungalow. After emerging as butterflies they're released into the five-story Lena Meijer Tropical Conservatory to fly for the popular display.
"Butterflies Are Blooming" typically draws nearly 150,000 visitors. The exhibit runs through April 30.

Hi guys!
How should I handle errors in subflows? Let say I catch exception during executing the action in subflow. Should I explicitly define transition to the end-state on="error" in this action state or it is just enough to throw error event without showing transition?
Here are some snippets. In main flow:
and in subflow:Code:<subflow-state flow="tools.DoSearch" id="tools.DoSearch"> <attribute-mapper bean="searchType.attributeMapper"/> <transition to="selectSearch.view" on="finish"/> <transition to="error" on="error"/> </subflow-state>
In code above I have transition to the end-state on error during action execution in subflow, and in definition of subflow I have transition to the error page if subflow execution finished with error. Is it right or I miss something?Code:<action-state id="retrieveAction"> <action autowire="byType" method="retrieveStudiesFromArchive" class="StudyAction"/> <transition to="overview" on="success"/> <transition to="finish" on="error"/> </action-state> ... <end-state id="finish"/>
Additionally, I read in docs that subflows can return values. Could you please give some more info about it and some examples?
Thanks a lot in advance.

note-taking nirvana!
THE best notebook for the insatiable note-taker. High-quality paper assures me my notebooks will last a lifetime. I know the paper will not discolor & crumble over time. I've filled several with my literary notes, and well on the way to filling more. Hope Levenger continues to carry this quality product.

Great for fountains pens
Although more expensive than the journals that you buy any where else, these are much higher quality and worth the extra. They are sewn in pages, so the the stupid things cant come apart. I use them for my journals, and for studing that I want to keep. I especially like the fact that my fountain pens don't bleed through like the other composition books do. The cheaper books also have a tendicy for the outside binding coming apart.

Notabilia and fountain pens
I love the quality of the Notabilia notebooks and the fit when used with the leather cover, first class and I use them a lot...BUT...recently the bleedthrough from fountain pens makes these nearly unusable. I say nearly, since I still use them but recently the quality of the paper seems to have suffered with respect to fountain pen ink. If you use a fountain pen, be prepared to get results on the back as I have shown in my photo. They're too expensive to just write on one side.

Notabilia Notebooks
I have at least a dozen Notabilia notebooks still in their wrappings, just waiting to be used. I stocked up on the grid books before they did away with them. WORST. DECISION. EVER. The current economic environment would tend to dictate that the cost of everything is going up and that the value of these notebooks goes down accordingly. That being said, those grid notebooks are now and ever shall be my absolute favorite things to write in.

Notabilia Notebook
Disappointed that the graph form is no longer offered for Notabilia notebooks. I would also concur with comments that suggests that the size and weight of Levenger papers changes over time. Overall, the quality is better than office supply stores but in some instances it does not match the premium pricing that Levenger places on some products. And I enjoy the products that I have purchased and admire many Levenger products.

The Best Notebook
I have been using Notabilia notebooks for 7-8 years. They are the best. The paper quality is great and takes ink well. They hold up with regular use, and the leather cover gives is a classier look for the office.
June 3, 2011
Excited to get refills and not happy
I love your products. Used the notabillia for years. The quality has changed. Just got my shipment and I thought was buying a book and ended up with a magazine. The quality is not the same. At $.10 a page want quality. I really like your products but feel could have gone to Office store for similar.

Notabilia Notebooks
I love the Notabilia notebooks and the leather covers but I must agree with another reviewer as to the change in quality of the paper. I use a fountain pen and the original books took ink smoothly and effortlessly. More recently I have found that my fountain pen (and often a rollerball) skip over the paper and portions of the pages cannot be used...I have generally found nothing but satisfaction with Levenger products. I'll keep trying the Notabilia but I am going to try something else to see if I get more consistency

Bring Back the Original Grid
Please bring back the 100 page grid page notebooks. My stock is almost out. I've been using these for years and really like them. The newer books are OK but the originals were better.
February 28, 2011
Bring Grid Paper back
I love my notebook and the size is perfect, but when i first bought this notebook, there was the grid paper and now it is discontinued. Please bring the grid paper back so I can continue using my notebook. Designers and Architects love grid paper!!!!!

Although I'm generally anti-BYOD and unconvinced by the touted supposed benefits to the company, it's making a stealthy small beginning with us in the form of executive mobile devices that are either non-Company, non-Windows or both. Ostensibly these only connect to Exchange via ActiveSync (the policies for which I need to review) but there's nothing to stop them being used as storage devices for files. At least I have DLP in place in the form of monitor-only file transfer checks by our AV software.
BTW, it might be wiser to call Android, iOS et al "less vulnerable" rather than not vulnerable. Or does Jack write these things to see if anyone's paying attention?
Discussion on:
It would be best to just ban BYODs. But... (a) "senior" executives with a sense of entitlement that is greater than the importance of corporate data security; (b) corporate pandering to youngsters, under the guise of being "hip" or "cool;" (c) ; all of which will subvert corporate data security to personal whims and desires. Regrettably, several major data breaches will have to happen in critical companies, before companies wise up to the threat. But then, its too late the damage has been done.
"For devices that do not run a vulnerable platform (Android, IOS, Linux)"? How naive and shortsighted. All these platforms are vulnerable to malware already in the wild, including the fabled fortress of iOS.
linux/android/ios aren't vulnerable? did you really just say that?
Also, if a user _can_ use their device from outside the office to "do business", what would be more secure about having them do it from the company wifi? What difference does being "on premises" make in that context? It seems to me that if you can get away with _never_ having them on the internal network, and still do their business effectively in a secure way, that's the best of both worlds.

It seems to me that if you can get away with _never_ having them on the internal network, and still do their business effectively in a secure way, that's the best of both worlds.
I consider using the company WiFi more of a security risk. If the device is a zombie then it can scan and possibly even act as an entry point into the corporate network. Unless the corporate network is doing SSL inspection then there is no way to know that a device isn't using HTTPS to provide a shell into their environment.
Since when was there an imperative to allow people to use their own devices? The whole idea is clearly being driven by the manufacturers of mobile devices as no network/security/sys admin in their right mind would allow personal devices on the network. My policy is exactly that and we check DHCP leases regularly and move all non-PC devices to the deny list. Mind you, for any of this to be useful you also need to have policies/proxies in place to prevent access to any medium that can be used to send data out of the network, so blocking Dropbox et al and webmail has to be implemented. When this is in place you have a solid argument for not allowing iPads etc to be used for work purposes as they would need to justify breaking policy just to use the device.
"Lee - YOH - dah" is my guess at pronunciation, but that's not important. What is important is the concept. I'm working on a start-up insurance brokerage where certain (limited) financial instruments can be sold over the phone. But the client data must still be taken and kept (for years!) and all other laws adhered to - like the USA PATRIOT Act, to name but one. We will require the use of company-purchased mobile devices (MDM) AND we will strictly control the apps available on each device (MAM)! In addition, all calls will be recorded and the recordings will become a part of the client or corporate records, as appropriate. No unauthorized devices will be allowed to connect to the corporate network, and all business related calls must be conducted from the approved devices, both as a client privacy issue and as a Dept of Insurance compliance issue. It's the only way to stay in business in this case.
must in your hand the facilitating device that will increase the apility of BOYD device as applicaple where ever.
While it is truly impossible to have a 100% safe, connected network, BYOD is certainly a risk probably not worth taking. Sure AV mandates and scans, HW firewalls, encryption and DMZs are great and required nowadays, but I think severely restricted user accounts are also a good practice worth at least consideration. Otherwise, company assets only seems to be a better option.
With MDM you can create secure containers and only allow certain apps to interact with your organisation's resources from within that container. Many people work for companies that don't believe their people need tablets to do their work, but the people find that they carry their own ones to work anyway, and can use it to make their lives at work easier. It just makes sense to allow it, but control it. Same thing with mobile phones. My company will only give me an LG L7 but I want to use my own Galaxy S3 (or read iPhone or whatever decent flavour you prefer) because the LG drives me nuts while waiting for the CPU to catch up to me. And I'm not all that fast...
I'm in the middle of trying to split our network into a public wifi lan and a private office lan that's entirely wired. Staff with devices will use a vpn to access office lan resources. There will be a proxy for printing, and possibly other services. Otherwise, they will use internet resources.
This arrangement's goal is to give wifi device users with a familiar internet-centered experience, and the desktop and laptop users a traditional lan-oriented experience. There's just not going to be a combination lan-over-wifi experience. Instead, they will get a vpn-over-the-internet experience, which is a little less convenient.

many people I know with a company-supplied smartphone don't even have a password to unlock the phone, ie they could leave it somewhere and anybody could pick it up and access all their company or private emails.
If these companies can't even get it right with their own stuff, how much security will there be with BYOD?

I'd even go further and say that everything except 1st one is old-school and therefore crap. Sounds like and advice to use old weapons in a war of new generation, just more of them! Will not work. Those guys out there have done their work inventing those devices. Now it's security turn to do inventing. I'm not an expert in the field, but here are a few general ideas: a) embrace the major change that has happened instead of denying it (i-dont-like/lets-ban/f...ing-executives type of statements) b) security has to become more granular, protect locally instead of the whole network; c) make/use new generation apps; d) analyse situation and data; e) generate NEW ideas.
I don't see anything special in this post for BYOD. These are things that every organization should be doing to protect their data. Personally I don't think these steps go far enough. One of my pet peeves is network infrastructure. If your network infrastructure is compromised then there is very little you can do to protect your network. Use accounts that are not tied to any type of computer account. Only allow changes from boxes physically located on site. Monitor activity to critical data. Only use encrypted protocols for access to network devices. Monitor network configurations for changes (tripwire offers a framework for doing this). This may sound a little draconian, but the network layer is used to segment and protect the rest of the network. If it's compromised then all other security is in doubt.
If the underlying operating system is compromised I am uncertain how effective an app like Divide would be.

If the image_xscale of an instance is zero during any drawing step, the game will crash. In previous versions of Game Maker, the game would flow on as normal, but the particular instance would be impossible to collide with and would of course not be visible on the screen. I suspect this bug has to do with rewriting drawing routines to make Game Maker draw PNGs instead of BMPs, or perhaps with the new collision mask system.
While it's generally a bad idea to let instances have an image_xscale of zero, having the game crash when you do doesn't feel like the best way of encouraging people to learn better coding habits.
I assume the bug also appears when image_yscale is zero, and when you use a draw_sprite_ext(), draw_sprite_part_ext() or draw_sprite_general() function call with one of the scale arguments being zero, but I haven't tested these.

@Yal: Tried... didn't crash. If you can provide a simple GMK, I'll try and look at it.
Never mind, it seems like I've been wrong. It was in the 21th post of the topic, and the reason the freeze happens is not what I thought.
As for the bug in this post, I might be able to shed some light. It's a lot more probable to have the Sprite Editor crash if you close it down quickly after entering it (either from closing the Image Editor, or by opening the Sprite Editor from the Sprite Form). It also crashes a lot more often in Lite than in Pro, while I had Lite it would crash on a regular basis, but since I've gotten Pro it has only crashed once.

That might be either the code highlighting or the syntax checking working to catch up to the part of the code shown in the window as your scroll. Try disabling syntax checking, then try disabling code highlighting, then try disabling both. See if any of that makes a difference.When you scroll up/down really fast and then hit the top/bottom, the code window freezes for a second. The longer the script is, the longer is the freeze (about a second or two on 500 line scripts). Not sure if this is a problem to anyone else, but it can get really annoying.

if i comment out the "d3d_model_draw(oPlayer.mPlayer,ax,ay,az,-1)" then i can see the primitive lines in the world. if i draw the model i can't. why does it matter? the only reason i'm drawing this way is because i'm debugging. normally i would put all the lines in a model and display that.
d3d_primitive_begin(pr_linelist) for(i=0;i<ds_list_size(listNodes);i+=1) { node=ds_list_find_value(listNodes,i) ax=ds_list_find_value(node,X)*mapScalex+ mapScalex/2 ay=ds_list_find_value(node,Y)*mapScaley+ mapScaley/2 az=ds_list_find_value(node,Z)*mapScalez+ mapScalez/2 neighbors=ds_list_find_value(node,N) d3d_model_draw(oPlayer.mPlayer,ax,ay,az,-1) for(j=0;j<ds_list_size(neighbors);j+=1) { neighbor=ds_list_find_value(neighbors,j) bx=ds_list_find_value(neighbor,X)*mapScalex+ mapScalex/2 by=ds_list_find_value(neighbor,Y)*mapScaley+ mapScaley/2 bz=ds_list_find_value(neighbor,Z)*mapScalez+ mapScalez/2 bx=ax+(bx-ax)*.4 by=ay+(by-ay)*.4 bz=az+(bz-az)*.4 d3d_vertex(ax,ay,az) d3d_vertex(bx,by,bz) } } d3d_primitive_end()

why does it matter?
Because models draw primitives. Would you expect to be able to draw a triangle primitive 'inside' of a line primitive? While this may not seem obvious, it definitely seems like intended behavior to me.
Posted 15 March 2011 - 11:56 PM
why does it matter?
The model functions are just shortcuts for drawing groups of primitives. d3d_model_draw() probably just loops through the model data and calls the d3d_primitive functions. Very inefficient, I know, but it's probably too hard to fix at this point.

The thing I hate the most is how game take forever to load (at least on Windows 7 (64 Bit)). When games load, they stall at around 80% (in debug mode it says something about loading sounds even though I don't have any included sometimes). It is quite annoying and eats away at time I could be spending doing other stuff.
That is my only gripe
read up and +1 me

Tried this... I don't see it. The editor has been sped up ever so slightly, so it might be gone. I tried with a 3000 line source file. It was fine. You'll have to wait and see I guess...When you scroll up/down really fast and then hit the top/bottom, the code window freezes for a second. The longer the script is, the longer is the freeze (about a second or two on 500 line scripts). Not sure if this is a problem to anyone else, but it can get really annoying.

I'd at least like to know what the status of it would be, or if you need any additional information - even though there is a link to the bug report in the tracker, with example source code. It is of considerable impact on games that use bounding box collisions in mirrored sprites.

Hello Everyone,
We are proud to present our exclusive interview with Alex Gansa, Howard Gordon's co-writer on Homeland, and The X-Files during the first season.
You can check it out here.
We tried to be economical last year, and just post new exclusives on one thread, but it didn't seem very effective, so I think were back to posting separate threads.
I think this interview might be a rarity and a fandom first as Alex hasn't spoken X-Files sites for a long spell, I hope you enjoy.

Some interesting stats to consider
Post: #1
Some interesting stats to consider
Everyone is all about the Seahawks.....and how many points they score.
Here is something that I find interesting Points for (this season) - Falcons 402 Seahawks 392 (hmm think they may have padded those stats in the last three weeks? ) Points against Falcons 272 Seahawks 232 (their defense is stout....will be interesting to see what happens with Sherman and the suspension appeal that is due a verdict this week) Falcons rank 4th in PA and 5th in PF Seattle ranks 1st in PA and 8th in PF Why do I find this so interesting.....Because other than the Giants we have not really blown anyone out of the water....we have just been consistently good with a couple of hiccups. Many of the PA points have been late in games when we were so far ahead that we were more concerned about making them chew up time than the clock. Now there are others with better numbers....here is why NFC possible playoff contenders GB - Worse in both categories SF - Worse in PF by 32 better in PA by 17 - when you look at some of their games you can question the PA....they faced STL twice and ARI once so far. WASH - better in PF by 6, worse in PA by SEA - Worse in PF by 10, better in PA by 45 - this looks bad until you put it in perspective - they have scored 140 points in the last 3 games alone and have face ARIZ TWICE with their anemic scoring offense, also STL twice DAL - worse in both CHI - Worse in PF by 53 better in PA by 24 - We know about their defense but you must look at their schedule MINN - Worse in both NYG - Worse in both AFC Playoff contenders HOU - worse in both by about 10 DENV - better in PF by 41 worse in PA by 9 - They have faced Raiders twice SDGO twice and KC once so far - NE - PF by 127 (YIKES) and worse in PA - buffalo twice for 89, Jets twice for 78, TENN for 34, STL for 45......then the 59 points against Indy, 42 against Hou BAL - Worse in both IND - worse in both CIN - worse in both - way less PF and close on PA I have heard we had the easiest schedule, but that was based on Win lose records of opponents.....lets take a hard look at that NO - their record sucks....but they are #3 in PF....we all know about their defense this year CAR - a bad win-loss record but they lost 6 games by less than a score as well as lots of injuries TB - Dall - still in the hunt Giants - still in the hunt Denv - one of top in AFC The bottom line is when you look at what we are doing....we allow a lot of yards but not a lot of scoring. When our offense is in rhythm they can score pretty easily...the hardest part is trying to keep the defense well rested.....and that will continue to be problematic. The truth is we are 13-2 and will likely be 14-2 going into the playoffs...the best record despite schedules.....ALL TEAMS in the Playoffs have had suspect games.....I will not list them here but EVERYONE has had one....some more than one. A loss to a team with a crappy record....our two losses....were actually better than most of the suspect losses of others. We are contenders.....WE CAN WIN BIG GAMES....WE CAN MATCH UP WITH ANY OF THE PLAYOFF TEAMS. I think our first match up is likely to be either CHI or SEA.....I think we would destroy CHI (might be tough to score but we should easily be able to stop their offense and mr. cry baby) and SEA and Mr. Wilson have yet to face a defense that disguises everything like ours (we have confused DREW, ELI, PEYTON, RIVERS, RG III, ROMO....while not all of those folks may be considered better than Mr. Wilson and his pumped up QB stats....I can say there are at least 4 on this least that are definitely high on the best QBs in the league.) Bring it on....We will be READY and WAITING |

Artist David Petersen, at Detroit Fanfare, creates myths for all ages
David Petersen, the cartoonist of the critically acclaimed, awarding-winning graphic novel, "Mouse Guard," doesn't consider himself a writer.
But he does consider himself a storyteller.
"I rely on pictures and colors to set my moods," says Petersen, 35, of Ferndale. Writers can write different voices for characters — just in type. I'm not that guy. I'm not that proficient. I don't have that gift. I'm more of a visual person. I craft it together with a blend of words and pictures so I don't have to be a master wordsmith," explained Petersen, who will be a guest this weekend at the third annual Detroit Fanfare at the Hyatt Regency Dearborn.
The third annual Detroit Fanfare will be Friday through Sunday, Oct. 26-28, at the Hyatt Regency Dearborn, 600 Town Center Drive, at Fairlane Town Center in Dearborn. Show times are 6-9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 26 (preview night), 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 27 and noon-p.m. Sunday, Oct. 28. Visit www.detroitfanfare.com. Festivities begin 5 p.m. Friday with an all-ages Zombie Walk outside the Hyatt. People in zombie costumes get in free Friday.
Weekend passes are $15. Children 12 and younger pay $5 Saturday and get in free Sunday. Tickets include admission to Friday night's preview party midnight-2 a.m. in the Marquee Ballroom, featuring music by the Buddy Black Band.
During regular convention hours Saturday and Sunday, the nonprofit group Kids Read Comics will provide additional programming for younger comic book fans, including "How to Write With Images," "Robots vs. Monsters" and "Draw Dynamic!"
"Mouse Guard" is the story is set in the year 1152. A brave band of warrior-mice protects fellow mice from danger when journeying from one mouse village to another. The three principal characters, Saxon, Kenzie and Lieam, are similar to the Three Musketeers, and there is no campiness — Petersen portrays them as fierce and formidable.
"I wanted to make it serious. I wanted to do actual animals — no Disney-fication. I kept all the appropriate predator/prey relationships. What's the smallest animal? Mice. They're small enough without going to a weird insect level," Petersen said. "From a story perspective, they're survivors because everybody in the world wants to eat them. That's the idea of 'Mouse Guard.'"
Petersen conceived "Mouse Guard" during his days at Flint Central High School. Comic books and Disney's 1973 animated version of "Robin Hood" — where the titular character is a fox — inspired him. Continued...
In 2005, Petersen self-published the first issue of "Mouse Guard" in black and white. That same year, Mark Smylie of Archaia Press discovered it and reprinted the first issue in color with Petersen expanding the storyline.
Since then, "Mouse Guard" has won the Eisner Award for Best Publication for Kids. Game designer Luke Crane created a game based on "Mouse Guard," which earned a 2009 Origins Award for Best Role-Playing Game. Diamond Select Toys released PVC figurines of the three principal characters, a resin statue re-creating the cover of the first collected volume, and a plush toy of Lieam.
"It was pretty cool to see those," Petersen said. "I think they all turned out wonderfully well and are great representations of my characters."
He looks forward to attending the Fanfare this weekend.
"I love conventions for getting to meet fans and chat with them about ('Mouse Guard'), comics in general or anything, really," he said. "While the big flashy conventions are really cool, there is a special treat to having a more back-to-basics local show where fans and creators can get time together without massive crowds for video game announcements. Because this is a local show, it's also nice to see some of the local talent I don't always get a chance to see."
His current project is the prequel series "Black Axe." He's working on the final issue now. A hardcover collection of "Black Axe" is slated for a 2013 release.
"It focuses on the character Celanawe (pronounced kel-ehn-awe) who took the title of the Black Axe and how it became his," Petersen said. "There is some myth debunking and some myth making that takes place in this series.
"It's always tough to do a prequel book because the audience, in most ways, knows the ultimate outcome, so I've tried to thread the story with interesting new revelations, tie-ins, and new perspectives to the existing 'Mouse Guard' books."
"Mouse Guard" is designed for all ages, but Petersen recommends parents use their judgment because there are some graphic scenes.
"It's not little-kid friendly," he said. Continued...
"Parents know their kids. I don't know their kids. I have three nieces and I knew the middle one is sensitive to dangerous situations, but the youngest one will eat it up with a spoon."
He suggests some parents may want to read them with their children.
"You've got a great opportunity to do something with your kids where you enjoy it, too. You can bond with your kids and get them interested in something you enjoy. That's great."

UCONN MEN: NBA scouts give their take on Jeremy Lamb, Andre Drummond
Jeremy Lamb has earned all-Big East first team honors and Andre Drummond made the conference's all-rookie team.
Lamb, a preseason first team pick, averaged 17.6 points per game (fourth in the conference) in all games. The 6-foot-5 guard is the lone sophomore on the first team. Drummond, the conference's preseason Rookie of the Year, joins six other players on the all-rookie team.
The Big East player of the year, coach of the year, rookie of the year and scholar-athlete of the year will all be announced on Tuesday, in between first-round sessions of the Big East tournament at Madison Square Garden.
Drummond and Lamb are both likely lottery picks for this year's NBA Draft. Most mock drafts (NBAdraft.com, DraftExpress.com, MyNBAdraft.com, ESPN.com) have Drummond either going second or third overall. Lamb could be going anywhere between No. 5 and 12, according to the websites.
While both players have repeatedly said that they're not thinking about their future, only their team's present, it seems highly likely that Drummond and Lamb will each enter the draft and hear their respective names called on June 28 at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
So what do NBA scouts think of the two UConn players, who have both had up-and-down seasons? An Eastern Conference scout and a Western Conference scout each talked to the Register about what they like and don't like about the two players. Here's what they had to say:
"Drummond is what I call an alien," said the Eastern Conference scout. "He's from another planet, physically. He's just so gifted, it's mind-boggling. As a player, he's just learning to play. For any guy like that, if he would just play as hard as he possibly could, all the time, the results will be good most of the time because he's just flat-out physically superior to almost everyone on the planet."
The scout added that Drummond "has the potential to be an NBA all-star, no question in my mind. But it's a long way between where he is today and being an NBA all-star."
That means improving his fundamentals, particularly on offense.
"At times, I thought he was shooting not off his palm, but off his wrists," the scout said. "I'd never seen anything like that. I didn't think it the ball had any chance of going in. (Against West Virginia), he was hitting turnaround shots, and one of the scouts leaned over and said, 'If he keeps hitting those shots, he'll be the first pick, not the second pick.'" Continued...
The Western Conference scout echoed those sentiments.
"You'd have to start from scratch," he said. "It's a testament to the world of AAU. Someone who (cared) about the kid would have started at basic fundamentals. He doesn't even hold the ball correctly. You can teach anyone how to do that, especially when they're young enough. With his talent and athleticism, all he needs is a hook shot. If he can hit an open jump shot, he'd be basically unguardable."
As for Lamb, the Western Conference scout believes he's a perfect NBA two-guard.
"I don't know too many guys you'd take ahead of him at that position," he said. "He does have a nice arsenal of shots. He's pretty smooth once he gets in a rhythm. The shot he hit (against Providence), that classic little floater, that'll help him at the next level if he doesn't forget about it. You can't get to the rim all the time in the NBA, so you've got to offset that."
Lamb hasn't shot the ball as well as many expected this season — 32.7 percent on 3-pointers, and just 28.5 percent on 3-pointers in Big East play. But he's been the focal point of many opponents' defenses, something he won't likely have to worry about in the NBA.
"(Scouts) take that into account," the Western Conference scout said. "You're not going to ask him to carry an NBA team and be a Kevin Durant or anything. He can even be a MarShon Brooks, there's nothing wrong with that."
The Eastern Conference scout likes Lamb, as well.
"He's going to be a high pick also," he said. "He's got a high skill level, a bright upside. He needs to get stronger, a little tougher, and better off the bounce. He's got a good 1, 2 dribble off the bounce, but after that I have questions. That being said, he's young, it's all ahead of him. He has a golden future."
Both scouts pointed out that it would behoove both players — particularly Drummond — to stay in school for at least another year. But that seems highly unlikely.
"(Lamb) will be right at the top (among two-guards)," the Eastern Conference scout added. "The only guy ahead of Drummond would be (Kentucky's Anthony) Davis. You've got a kid like Thomas Robinson of Kansas playing at a very high level, he's going to be a terrific NBA player, but he's smaller, obviously, than Drummond. Continued...
"(Drummond) is going to go, if not second, then very high."

The songs we sing in praise can affect our mood. Our emotions stir the more we contemplate and agree with the words of a song. Christians singing together in utter adoration of the Father is a preview of eternity. As we sing songs of praise, do we slow down and consider the truth of what we sing? Could we enjoy a greater impact from our singing if our words lined up with truth?
For example, how "close" are you to the Lord? Are there days where you feel more distant from Him than others? Maybe your whirlwind schedule or negative things you've done affect you so that you don't feel as near to God as you do in a worship setting. When you feel that way, it is easy to believe you will only feel "closer" at a future time when the conditions are ideal.
Would you be encouraged if I told you you do not have to wait until a future time of worship to feel close to the Lord? Yes, it is possible to feel close to the Lord every day when you reflect on the truth. Your hectic pace or failures have not distanced you from the Lord. Consider the following: If you are saved, you are already "in Christ", His church (Acts 2:47; Col. 1:18); we are NOW seated with Christ in the heavenly realms (Eph. 2:6); we have all been included in Christ (Eph. 1:13). You cannot get any closer than that!
How you think does affect how you feel, whether you sing it or just dwell on it. If you think that not reading your Bible enough, praying enough, or being good enough has distanced you from God, then you will feel that you are not close to the Lord. Reflect on the truth that no matter how little or how much you do, no matter your successes or failures, you are still embraced in the arms of the Lord now! The church in Corinth was a messed up church, yet they were still sanctified in the Lord (2 Cor. 1:2). Change your thinking and your singing to line up with the truth. Just imagine what that will do for how you feel!
If you are in Christ, you are as close to Him as you are ever going to get until He returns. Enjoy the truth that He is with you always, during the easy and difficult times. When you start to feel down about your walk with God, may His truth help you wake up to the blessings He has already bestowed on you.

Div placement and animated NAV - CSS help!
Hi guys and gals,
I'm pretty new at web design and I have a question. I'm working on a site for a friend: Faulkner Ventures
Here is the CSS
I'm no where near done. In fact, I just started. If you look on the site, there is a div with a light grey background where I plan to place the NAV.
My question is: is there a better way to place this div without having to use a negative value with the CSS? Or is it okay to do this?
it works in FF3, Safari, and IE7. So, it looks fine, but I want to make sure that this is the right way of doing it.
Another question: Is there a way to make an animated NAV with CSS like you can with Java Script (replace image, pre-load, etc.)? Any pros/cons?
I hope I'm making sense... :?
Any help is much appriciated!
Thanks!Considering you have a width assigned to #nav, I would add #nav{margin: 0 auto;} to center the item instead of doing the math. Add a relative position to it, and use top:whatever number; to move it down the page to whatever height you want.
So, something like #nav {height:31px; width:381px; margin:0 auto; position:relative; top:-15px; background-color:#ccc; }
Adding "position:relative;" will position the element in relation to it's normal position. So, if you were to just add the div with nothing, it would appear in the top left corner of the screen. Adding "margin:0 auto;" will center the element, while "top:-15px;" will position the element 15px up from the bottom of #logo. Just experiment with the numbers a little and you'll get the right position. If you were to use : "position:relative; top:0;" instead, it would position your #nav right at the bottom of #logo as opposed to being kind-of inside it.
And for the menu, just Google horizontal CSS menus. You should be able to find everything you need.

Healthy Living Can Prevent Breast Cancer
Research shows good nutrition and exercise can help prevent breast cancer.
You might be able to find help fighting breast cancer and other types of cancers at your local grocery store and fitness centers, according to the research findings of Dr. Marian Neuhouser, Ph.D, RD.
Dr. Neuhouser is a nutritional epidemiologist with a background in nutritional sciences. She is an investigator at Seattle's Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Her research is focused on lifestyle factors such as nutrition and physical activity. Some factors may prevent breast and prostate cancer and improve survivorship in those diagnosed with cancer.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year, more than 200,000 American women are diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 American women will die from breast cancer.
Dr. Neuhouser's research has found that for postmenopausal women in particular, being overweight or obese may increase the risk for breast cancer.
Dr. Neuhouser explains, "After menopause, estrogens are synthesized by adipose tissue—the more adipose a woman has, the more estrogen she will make. Adipose cells also synthesize inflammatory factors, which have been linked to breast cancer."
One of the most important things a woman at risk for breast cancer can do, says Dr. Neuhouser, is to "maintain a healthy weight."
Given what the research indicates, Dr. Neuhouser says, "One of the most important things is that if a woman is overweight or obese, she should be advised to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight. Daily physical activity and following healthy eating habits with plentiful fruits and vegetables and minimal empty calories and fried foods will help achieve these goals."
Dr. Neuhouser says while it can be challenging to lose weight, "Small changes can add up and make a big difference."
When it comes to getting active, Dr. Neuhouser says, "If someone is not used to physical activity, try a five to ten minute walk and gradually increase the time. Having physical activity partners or walking partners always helps. I know my soccer team will be waiting for me on the field, so even if I am tired or busy, I still show up."
When it comes to food, Dr. Neuhouser says, "Start with making one new food change each week. Instead of eating two cookies, eat just one."
If you are concerned about your weight, Dr. Neuhouser suggests getting the support you need by asking your doctor for " a referral to a reputable weight loss program." For nutrition advice, Dr. Neuhouser recommends asking for a referral to a registered dietitian.

I agree with Dr. Neuhouser's comments, breast and prostate cancer are for the most part hormone dependent. It's amazing when you learn of the similarities of the two diseases.

This kind of article is very upsetting to the many of us that have done all this and still get cancer! I ran/swam for over 15 years and at 34 got a life threatening cancer! I know many more just like me. I believe it's environmental and in our make up , otherwise I wouldn't have gotten it based on this research!

Lewisville expands arts board responsibilities
By Heather M. Goodwin, firstname.lastname@example.com
Members of Lewisville's arts advisory board will now have additional responsibilities specifically where public art is concerned.
During Monday's Lewisville City Council meeting, members approved an ordinance that expanded the duties of the arts board. The additions include giving the board the responsibility to receive proposals if someone wants to propose public art. The board is also now responsible to review the proposals and make a recommendation to the council.
"Right now there's not a board that advises the council on performance art, installations or other public art," said Councilman Neil Ferguson when asking the city staff to review the board. "I am very satisfied that this board is now settled and established, but we've never given them the full scope of what they will be responsible for."
Funding for public art will continue to come from the hotel/motel tax.
The new duties of the arts board will go into effect at the end of October, but it will keep the same nine members. The guidelines for public art must be drafted by the arts board with the council's input.
The city council also approved a bid award to Robust Controls LLC in the amount of $59,750. The company will perform scheduled maintenance as well as work involving new control programs and equipment as new projects come up.
Council members also approved an agreement with Denton County to provide library services to all residents of Denton County. In exchange, the county will pay the city of Lewisville $80,260, based upon Lewisville's population per North Central Texas Council of Governments figures and a proportionate share of un-served Denton County residents.
City council members approved a variance to the city code allowing Bethel Dallas Church of Lewisville to have two temporary classrooms on the existing Champion Center property located at 2680 MacArthur Blvd. The center asked to have the temporary classrooms for no more than two years. The temporary classrooms must be used for church purposes only.
Council members approved an ordinance that amends the definition for the Old Town Entertainment District. The definition incorrectly defined the boundary; the ordinance corrects the error.

A worthy interview with author and dandy Gay Talese, from Men.Style.Com.
Tuesday, June 16, 2009
7 comments:
- MARCEL BASTHOS said...
Great found! Indeed, tailors and cordwainers are endangered species in many corners of the world. The passeggiata Mr Talese refers to was earlier a widespread phenomenon, but now we are passive spectators of an omnipresent flood of labels and blue jeans. The spectre of vulgarity and lack of sartorial consciousness looms large. It is solitary battle we fight, but a noble one...
- June 16, 2009 at 6:47:00 AM PDT
- mark said...
That opening comment seems, well, less than thought through and more than a tad myopic. There is room for sartorial pleasures, but one must step outside solipsistic ways of viewing the world and put things in perspective.

- Turling said...
I was most surprised that he bought off the rack. If I am mistaken and those designers he showed at the beginning of the piece offer bespoke or made to measure services, someone please correct me.
- June 16, 2009 at 8:31:00 AM PDT
- Will said...
Turling, the RTW clothes mentioned may have been for the audience of the magazine who are unlikely to have heard of his Italian tailors. I've seen him in more than a dozen bespoke suits.
- June 16, 2009 at 9:30:00 AM PDT
- seitelman said...
On the couple of occasions that I have bumped into Mr. Talese he was dressed in suit and tie and dressed beautifully.
He expanded upon the theme that tailors are an endangered species in an article for Esquire which I believe is available on line. - June 16, 2009 at 12:48:00 PM PDT
- gentleman amateur said...
Nice video. I'm surprised he bought Pierre Cardin, who is not exemplary of classical style.
- June 17, 2009 at 4:57:00 AM PDT
- dandiacal said...
I have always been a great fan of Talese's dress. Note that the suits he presents from the 60s and 70s don't look terribly dated (although I am not sure if he had the flared trousers altered).

SAN FRANCISCO Brendon Woods, a career public defender in Oakland, has been tapped to lead the Alameda County public defender's office, replacing the retiring Diane Bellas.
The Alameda County Board of Supervisors announced Tuesday that it voted unanimously to promote the senior assistant public defender.
Bellas' No. 2 and a 16-year veteran of the office, Woods was seen as one of the front-runners for the appointment. He said Wednesday he is excited to take on his new role overseeing a staff of 104 lawyers. He takes over Dec. 17.
One of his first orders of business, he said, will be to look into creating a so-called "clean slate" program, in which public defenders help defendants get their criminal records expunged after successful completion of probation.
Bellas, who had the post for more than a decade, surprised the local bar with her sudden retirement announcement last March. Her last day will be Dec. 14. In an interview with The Recorder earlier this year, Bellas said she had encouraged Woods to apply for her job and had chosen the timing of her retirement to provide a "smooth transition" for her successor.
At 42, Woods, a graduate of University of San Francisco School of Law, was among a field of young internal candidates to apply for the job.

GUEST OPINION: U.S. economy depends on middle class, not rich elite
If you've ever suspected that all the talk of how cutting taxes on the wealthy boosts our economy was just a cover story for allowing the rich to get richer, a new nonpartisan report proves it.
It turns out there's no correlation between how much the richest Americans pay in taxes and how fast our economy grows.
But there is a strong connection between the level of those taxes and our nation's growing income inequality.
These findings, from the Congressional Research Service (CRS), couldn't have come at a more important time.
Not only were taxes and the economy key issues in this fall's political campaigns, but after Election Day, Washington was struggling to steer the country clear of the so-called "fiscal cliff" of huge and indiscriminate budget changes.
Raising taxes on the wealthy is one sure way out of the crisis, but some politicians resisted, based on the theory that even modest tax hikes on high-earners would slow economic growth.
The CRS set out to test that theory.
Using sophisticated statistical analysis, its researchers matched up tax rates at the very top of the income scale with the state of our economy since the end of World War II.
In addition to economic growth, they looked at savings rates, investment levels and productivity gains.
In each case, they found that higher upper-income tax rates either had no effect, or even slightly improved the measure under study. Continued...
How could that be?
We've been told again and again that higher taxes on the rich would discourage job creators and dampen our recovery.
The answer is simple: Our economy is not in fact dependent for its health on a tiny moneyed elite, but rather on the broad middle class.
Or as the report puts it: "It would be reasonable to assume that a tax rate change limited to a small group of taxpayers at the top of the income distribution would have a negligible effect on economic growth."
The report doesn't even take into account beneficial effects on our economy of the healthier government balance sheet and infrastructure investments made possible by revenue raised from the superrich under a fairer tax system.
While the rates paid by the wealthiest taxpayers have no effect on economic growth, they do contribute directly to the nation's destabilizing income inequality.
Of course, you don't have to be a statistician to figure out that if the ultra-rich keep more of their huge incomes for themselves and contribute a smaller portion to the common good -- thereby impoverishing the promoters of general prosperity such as education and health care -- our income divide will widen.
And that's what's happened.
Average tax rates on the nation's wealthiest households are at the lowest level in 65 years, having declined fairly steadily since 1945.
Over that same period, the average real income of all Americans has about doubled, not a very impressive result for 67 years and pretty much all of it coming in the first 35 years. Continued...
The results are far sunnier for those at the top.
Income is five times the 1945 level for households in the top one-tenth of 1 percent and eight times higher for the top one-hundredth of 1 percent.
The share of the nation's income flowing to that 0.1 percent of households has gone from 4.2 percent right after the war, to 12.3 percent in 2007 (dipping slightly in the financial panic that followed).
We can use our new knowledge to reverse these troubling trends.
In the "fiscal cliff" negotiations at year's end, responsible members of Congress from both parties struck a budget deal that included higher taxes on the wealthy, such as allowing the Bush-era tax cuts on households making more than $250,000 dollars a year to expire, but raising the level to $450,000. We are lucky in Michigan that both of our senators, Debbie Stabenow and Carl Levin have been strong leaders on this issue.
We now know such a revenue increase won't hurt the economy.
But it will lower deficits, allow for targeted public investments, and begin to close the income divide that's tearing our country apart.
Linda Teeter is the executive director of Michigan Citizen Action, a statewide advocacy organization with more than 10,000 citizen members.

Pony Boy - Pony Boy EP
Pony Boy EPSubmitted by: Rusty HoganFrom the Pony Boy Website:
Exploring themes of the Ol' West and heartache, Pony Boy's gravel-riddled tunes recall a 1950's nostalgia and Southern Gothic Soul.I developed a bit of a routine for reviewing albums now. On the day's I'm in the office I pick an album from the several I've gotten recently (these I glean by giving each one a quick 30 second or so listen, it's got to grab me) and I'll play it over and over. It normally doesn't take long to figure out what songs I like and which ones I'll be skipping upon the next listen. With Pony Boy's self titled EP Pony Boy there wasn't any skipping of songs. From track 1 Saints and Lairs to track 5 The Murder Ballad of Carrie Lee each song was a beautifully crafted lyrically haunting treasure. A wonderful soundtrack for these late fall days and nights. I hope to here more from Pony Boy soon! Get this CD, I promise you'll wear it out.

Americana Rock Mix Review - "Mergers And Acquisitions" by Have Gun, Will Travel
There isn't much that I can say here that I haven't already said on my show. But, to put it in more of a substantial note, here are my thoughts on this album.
It's hard to determine what it is that makes HGWT sound so unique. With the influx of Alt. Country, Americana, Folk bands out there, it becomes that much harder to develop a sound that will cut through the noise. Whatever that sound may be, it helped them hit a strong stride with their last album "Postcards From The Friendly City". Anyone who enjoys great music has already heard that album, and it's hard to deny that mainstream radio did themselves a disservice by not recognizing how underrated that album is.
But when a band has an album that is that enjoyable, and is such a leap from the previous album ("Casting Shadows Tall As Giants") there comes a little bit of dread when a new album is on the horizon. It raises questions like "How will this hold up?" "Was the last album just a lucky accident?", etc.
I can definitely say that the band did not lose their stride. While "Mergers And Acquisitions" is not necessarily better than "Postcards", it is by NO means any less of the high standard set by that album.
In fact, if anything, this album proves that HGWT are aware of what their sound is, and are ready to play around with it. "Mergers" runs a gamut of situations and themes that have been in Matt Burke's head that past couple of years. Between the exercises in storytelling like "Katharine, Don't Fall The Wagon" and "Crooked Chords" and the political statements of "To The Victor Goes The Spoils" and "Streets Of New England" to the tales of touring like "Thirteen Miles To Empty" and "Time Machine", this strong bevy of songs on "Mergers And Acquisitions" proves that the band is expanding on what we have come to know and love about their music.
A recent interview with HGWT frontman, Matt Burke, can shed some insight on "Mergers And Acquisitions" and can be found HERE.
Here is their latest music video for "Thirteen Miles To Empty" featuring Micah Schnabel of Two Cow Garage and Devon Stuart of The Snakehealers

Americana Rock Mix Review - "Low Down" by The Mallett Brothers Band
I am not a reviewer. I have noted this on several occasions, as I have a hard time putting my thoughts into a format that makes sense to people, outside of my own head.
But sometimes there is a spurt of albums released at one time that just makes you want to scream at people to make them aware of the awesomeness that they are more than likely missing.
This is one of those albums.
My first introduction for this album, was the music video for the album's title track "Low Down", which surpassed anything on their self titled previous effort. Now, that's arguably a pretty strong intro to an album. This also left some lofty goals for the rest of album, which I hadn't heard yet.
Honestly, I enjoyed their first album, quite a bit more than most of my peers. So when I finally received the album, I expected the track "Low Down" to be the stand out, and everything else would be on the same level as their last album. And honestly I only thought this because I heard the two Mallett Bros. albums only within a couple months of each other.
What I found was an eclectic set of ear candy that surpassed my expectations. It turns out this album maintained the road set it's example track, "Low Down" (the song). The album ranges from acoustic riff rock openers like "Benny" to solid banjo fronted tracks like "Born Cryin'" that draw you into the album to see where their music will go next. But overall it's the soulfulness in the voices of the Mallett Bros (Will & Luke) that makes the songs unique to the band.
This album will undoubtedly be in my Top Albums of 2011 list.
I will play a couple of tracks by them in this weeks upcoming episode. So stay tuned.
