GREENWICH, Conn. -- Fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger's luxury estate in Connecticut has sold for $20 million, about $8 million below its original asking price.
Sotheby's International Realty says the 20,000-square-foot Greenwich mansion is being purchased by a family who toured it in September.
The mansion has eight bedrooms and nine bathrooms. It also features a 2,000-bottle wine cellar, indoor basketball court, sauna, massage room with a waterfall and home theater.
Hilfiger purchased the home in 2005 for $18 million. It had been on the market since February 2008.
The designer has moved to New York City.
The mansion is located on Connecticut's Gold Coast, a bastion of suburban perfection that's home to Martha Stewart and is considered the inspiration for the Stepford Wives.

Hi guys, I was hoping I could get some input from you inventor masters out their. I've been working with inventor professionally for about a year now doing piping and vessels for the oil field. This also involves a lot of pipe supports and platforms.
I'm trying to streamline the process right now by coming up with a way to make some adaptive bracing that I can reuse so I don't have to model it over and over. Most of the engineer drawings I get are basically the same; 2d lines for beams with work points for the bracing and typical connection details.
I start with a skeletal model and use frame gen to drop my beams in. But bracing is where I run into difficulty. I get it done but its just tedious and time consuming
Is their a way I can make a reusable adaptive or flexible bracing for this task?
Here's some pics of what I've been dinking around with to try and automate this (I haven't found a good solution yet).
1. Created my skeleton
2. Dropped beams in
3. Created bracing template
4. Dropped bracing temp in assem
5. Constrained it into place
6. used make parts to place the gusset plates into my assem
7. gusset plates fully parametric
I'd like to have a better process of doing this. Ideally I'd like to drop a whole brace sub-assembly (gussets, brace and bolts) in to the main assem and constrain to the drawing specified work points and be done with it.
Any ideas?
I'm glad to hear from you Jeanchile. I've been reading up on the use of structural items like this in inventor and have came across a lot of your post. It seems like you and I are after alot of the same thing. I assume your located in the U.S? Could you post some pictures when you get settled back down? This seems like exactly what I'd like to do (setting up a bracing library). As you know structural steel can be an irritation to do in inventor BUT I think with the proper set up it could be great. I've tried other programs like Advance Steel but inventor being my main software since schooling; its difficult for me. Plus it seems like the parametric capabilities of inventor are better. I like the idea of having one skeletal model controlling my entire assembly. I couldn't do simple things quickly like I do with inventor in AutoCad based Advance steel. I mean don't get me wrong the connection macros are amazing for placing standard connections but when it came to things more complex or not so standard it got difficult. Also little other annoyances like their bracing macro doesn't have WT as an option. WTH, no WT? That's the main type of bracing we use. And the holes on the stairs would only go down to 1/2" when I needed 7/16". And the auto drawing tool drove me nuts lol. 10 million unwanted views and dims on a page? Anyway your input is appreciated Jeanchile
Sorry Paul, I've been out of town a lot lately but just got settled back in. Yes, I am in the US and we have been using IV to detail our structural steel, vessels, piping, and other items for 2 years now. It is cumbersome at first but with an investment in workflows and content it has worked out great for us. There is certainly things AD could do to make our lives a lot easier, especially because their AutoCAD Steel Detailing program is pretty much the laughing stock of that industry, but we've managed to make IV an effective tool.
There are some things to note though:
1.) In most of our projects, by the time we get to modelling the structural steel in IV most of the design decisions and constraints have been identified so things like member sizes and stuff don't change all that often (they do sometimes just not every time).
2.) We don't use Vault so we're stuck using the Design Assistant for all of our file management and copying operations. The DA sucks for the most part, and isn't intuitive to say the least, but it's all we have. It would be nice if AD would recognize that not eveyone can use their Vault programs and update the DA a little.
3.) We spent a year and a half analyzing our workflows in an attempt to streamline our software and during that process we were able to identify the best practices for us while using IV to detail the steel. I cannot stress enough how spending some time up front really "saved our bacon" on a lot of issues.
Here's some pictures of what I was talking about:
1.)Here is a picture of a typical double angle chevron brace:
There are about 23 user parameters in the file with comments and instructions to our users. Like I said in my other post, when we need bracing in our design we choose the type and style then use the DA to copy that from our library to the current project. Then we link parameters from our main structure skeleton files to the individual bracing skeleton files (Work-point dimensions, framing sizes, etc.).
When the main skeleton file changes, the linked parameters in the bracing skeleton files change, and everything updates. The only thing that we have to be careful of is when the member sizes change on the structure (columns, beams, etc.) we have to make some parameter changes in the bracing skeleton file. For example, if the beam in the picture above was a W12x35 and it changes to a W16x31 we have to go back to the bracing skeleton file and change the depth, flange width, etc. because we don't put all of the individual framing members profile dimensions in the main skeleton file (it's obviously just lines and such for the framing).
So pretty much we do what you do but take it one step further by having the bracing already complete in our library. You just need to link the parameters that define your work points in your structural skeleton file into skeleton files for the bracing, then assemble everything into the proper assemblies.
I was able to complete this platform in 2 1/2 days last week (detail drawings and all):
I hope all this helps some. Good Luck.
Jeanchile, thanks for the response, and i'm also sorry for such a delay, I'm just getting a little down time. Now if we could only design a macro for this in ilogic along with one for handrail and stairs.. Then I would be a very happy camper! But for now Im getting along just fine. I have actualy gotten pretty fast using view reps and locking. So much easier than LODs! The only downside is the BOM.
Impressive indeed! Humbled in the presence of greatness.

Tony Ryan: ingenious, driven, reckless, avaricious
The Ryanair founder was untrustworthy and treated his underlings appallingly, but he deserves better than this unsatisfactory biography
Tony Ryan in 2005 at home in Co Kildare: his instinct was to push everyone and every deal to the edge. Photograph: Aidan Crawley
Tony Ryan was "the epitome of what it meant to be an entrepreneur", writes Richard Aldous in this biography of the founder of Ryanair. If so, entrepreneurs are a more unpleasant species than even Marxists portray them to be. For, as an entrepreneur, Ryan, while driven and ingenious, was reckless and avaricious. He treated his underlings appallingly. He was untrustworthy in much of his dealings and survived the collapse of his personal wealth by concealing from his debtors the wealth he secretly retained.
But there was a remarkable energy and imagination about him. I recall him talking in 1982 or 1983 about building an air bridge to Britain, which would overcome the geographical isolation of the country that was detrimental to its economic wellbeing. He didn't do it then but partly did it later through Ryanair. He had the capacity to open his mind to issues outside his comfort zone.
Although his interest in the arts was partly vanity-driven, there was also a genuine interest and some knowledge. His politics and personality resembled those of Genghis Khan, but without the Mongolian warlord's feminine side.
Ryan's foremost concern was the accumulation of wealth and its attendant power, but there was a patriotic bit to him too. We got on like a house on fire while in business together with the Sunday Tribune in 1983-4: hysterics, alarms, terrors, water cannon and blistering heat. Afterwards we almost became friends. I liked him although I disliked so much about him.
His worst feature was his treatment of underlings. He told one senior executive as he was firing him: "Business is made up of f**kers and f**kees, and in our relationship you are my f**kee." This is in the biography, but I had heard it previously. According to Aldous, he had read Winning through Intimidation, a New York Times bestseller by Robert J Ringer. Intimidation was certainly part of his management armoury.
He insisted that all Guinness Peat Aviation executives, wherever they were in the world, had to attend the Monday-morning meeting at Shannon. These meetings were brutal affairs, with Ryan regularly humiliating even senior colleagues. What is really extraordinary about this is that nobody among the GPA staff stood up to him, although among them were several people with robust personalities (or seemingly robust personalities).
It wasn't just GPA staff he treated badly: he treated the board of directors similarly.
Phenomenal success
The commercial success of GPA right from the beginning was phenomenal, and within a few years Ryan wanted to change it from a mere broker of aircraft – a firm that arranged for airlines to lease aircraft from other airlines – to a lessor of aircraft, which involved the purchase of aircraft. This prompted him to seek other shareholding partners, along with Guinness Peat and Aer Lingus. He arranged a partnership with Air Canada; when he presented this to the board of GPA, almost as a fait accompli, the Aer Lingus representatives among the directors were incensed.

Worried about my husband's job :/ Obama had already promised more defense cuts. Sadly, he wouldn't have to if he just got involved and appropriated the funds using a reasonable budget (he is, after all, Commander in Chief). Instead, he's cutting general funds, and good people are losing their jobs and our military is weakening (which is scary when there are at least 2 countries eying us as it is).

Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox 360 nearly outsells PS3 3:1
With the recent release of the November NPD numbers, Modern Warfare 2 was the big winner. Taking the top 2 spots on the November software sales chart. This great accomplishment brought my attention to the ratio of 360 versions bought to Playstation 3 versions. Playstation 3 sold a remarkable 1.87 Million but on the other hand the Xbox 360 sold an unheard of 4.20 million. A ratio of nearly 3:1 More specifically 2.245989304812834:1 Infinity Ward did say they felt Xbox 360 had a better community, I guess these numbers prove them right.
from → PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
- mikemadden
"no shit nigga where you from Harvard?" maybe the 7+ million more 360 consoles had something to due with these numbers.

Damn you mad.

no not mad at all. but i see an attempt to get cheap hits. it this was a hiphop article it would get flamed to hell.

And yet i'd bet mikemadden is one of those same idiots who act like the install base gap isn't a big deal, until it suits the damage control of course…

It might have something to do with the fact that Xbox owners actually play games not watch Blu-Rays.

All I've been using my Xbox for lately is to watch shows/movies on Netflix.
- TruMan
face it.. 360 gamers like FPS more than others. even though its a multi platform game but it serve 360 like a exclusive game.. NPD data proves in Nov. well, it proves 3rd party game can be more powerful than 1st party.
- Goods
Nearly outsells 3:1? If 2.25 is 'nearly' 3 then I suggest you take STATS 101.
Nevertheless, I'm hardly surprised by the numbers. 360 has the bigger base, especially in regards to CoD gamers and migrating Halo players. The reality is, the PS3 gamer is much different than the 360 gamer. They're a 'multi-gamer' of sorts. While I know plenty of 360 owners who ONLY play CoD and Halo I don't know a single PS3 owner who hasn't beaten at least 3 or 4 of this fall's hottest titles (read: Uncharted 2, Borderlands, Demon Souls, etc.)
So what can we assess from the 2.25:1 (hell, lets round up, make it 5:1) sales ratio? 360 gamers have obviously been waiting for this…one…game.
- Joe
what a stupid thing to say, and the facts point to you being 100% wrong.
the 360s game attach rate is significantly higher than that of the PS3, so 360 owners play more games than PS3 owners.
- Goods
Ah yes, you must be a fanboy using those self-serving, cherry picked statistics. The 360 market is clear: shooters. Deny that, and you're a fool.

You're right, those numbers are solid–but are *close* to PS3 sales (ACII 500K, DA:O 300k).
Given the ratio of 360′s to PS3′s (1.3:1) both ACII and DA:O sales ratios are slightly in favor of the 360 (arguably due to strong PS3 exclusives), but no where near the '3:1′ CoD ratio. So to re-affirm, 360 market = shooters.
- Diggler
it's completely clear that there are more MW2 copies sold for the 360 in the USA:
- much bigger install base
- FPS more popular on the 360
- much more great exclusives on the PS3 atm, which takes sales from MW2if you look at the sales outside of the USA, where the install base of 360 and PS3 is more even, you'll see that the MW2 sales are also nearly even (2.01 : 1.95).
- Samuel
Pathetic Xbox fanboys like the writer of this article want to act like the rest of the world doesn't exist, and that only sales in US matters.
360 still has a significantly larger install base in the US than the PS3, which would make perfect sense as to why Modern Warfare 2 outsold the PS3 version 2:1 (NOT 3:1 as the artcle INNACURATELY STATES).

what else is there to buy on xbox this year. all year and only two exclusive titles( halo wars and forza 3)and don't start saying there is more than that cause expansion packs don't count just cause u payed full price doesn't make it a new game. if i owned a xbox i would have bought modernwarefare 2 but i don't so i have alot more options this year, ps3 exclusives(Killzone2, Infamous, Uncharted2, Demon's Souls, Racthet and Clank and multiplat games( Borderlands, Prototype, Ghostbusters, Batman, and the list goes on) and then next year there are even more games for both systems, so i think its more to do with the larger variety of games on PS3 this year than with MS having a bigger community.
- Joe
Left 4 Dead 2 is also an exclusive, and it shifted nearly a million in not even its first month in the US alone. most PS3 exclusives could only dream of those figures.
The 360 had just as many exclusives – Forza 3, ODST, L4D2, Shadow Complex, Halo Wars, GTAIV Tales of Liberty City, etc. – and they all met or exceeded expectations. the same cant be said for the PS3s **cough**killzone 2 **cough**infamous**cough
- Goods
I'd be careful what exclusives you include. GTAIV:ToLC has sold less than DragonAge in less time. For a game with a 7 million gamer base, 260K really met expectations? Halo Wars, part of the golden-boy 360 franchise, has been outsold by Killzone 2. That met expectations? Sure, if they're low.
But your focus on sales is right, more sales mean better games. Uncharted 2 and LittleBigPlanet have higher Metacritic scores than any 360 exclusive in the last 4 years—but haven't sold 5 million copies. They must suck.
The mantra of 360 fanboys: sales = quality. I get enough of that kinda talk on comms, keep it on the voice chat please.

Sorry, I can't undestand all of this Pidgin English… What the hell is mikemadden talking about?!? Is there a marginally educated, non-hoodrat, here who is "down wit it" and can translate?
- hellhunter75
its funny that he is only focusing the usa common dude and when it comes to multi plate storeys that they attempt to add world wide and ps3 dominates its seems as thought he has forgotten what real gaming inphase that online is the only thing lol and thats why 12 year old play that 360. iam not nocking it cause i have both but it seems as thought the only thing at the moment 360 has only that to look foward to lol excuse my spelling iam writing this from my touch phone
- Darkie
This is based on NPD numbers, why would they include "the rest of the world" in this article? Just to keep from hurting PS3 fanboys feelings?
Its funny how now that MW2 has topped Killzone 2 in everyway, now suddenly FPS's are the genre of stupid little "xbots" again.
The reason this game sold better on 360 is because its about the multiplayer, and the multiplayer community is far superior on XBL compared to psn.
- Dion
How is 2.245989304812834:1 close to 3:1? And this isn't news, every big FPS sells better on the Xbox 360 anyway.
- robebre
Better support for friends and parties on the 360 version. So people who own both consoles will buy for the 360 version over the ps3 version.
- lol
Lol I own a xbox 360 and a ps3 and play my 360 more but i don't only play modern warfare 2… I actually think the games multiplayer sucks to be honest…my 5 Favirote Holiday released games this year is Dragon age origins..Uncharted 2( AWESOME) (my 2 game of the year picks for me) …Assassins creed 2 …Left 4 dead 2….Forza 3
- tarantula45
lol at the fanboys on both sides i really dont understand how a game that sells more on one console that the other matters if you bought said game and your enjoying playing it what does the sales matter

HOLLYWOOD God bless America, and how's everybody?
For awhile in 2005, I carried around a white, cotton handkerchief that was worn soft from use after my father, Dabney, died suddenly and quietly at the age of 81.
"I am blessed," said Great Bend artist Chet Cale earlier this week.
Halfway through his term in office, President Barack Obama faces a crisis that could most probably doom his chances of being re-elected - he's running out of gas.
Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day ought to be expanded.
HOLLYWOOD - God bless America, and how's everybody?
At Easter, I am more than a little dismayed by some of the mistaken notions circulating in the nation's Sunday schools.
There are certain times throughout the year that lend themselves to reflecting on what has been and creating a new plan for what will come next.
There is a struggle now being waged in Washington, the outcome of which will determine whether the nation's economy will grow or continue to falter.
Oh, the irony of poetic justice.
In the budget fight over last weekend, Democrats and Republicans showed that they were willing to compromise on spending.
Boy, are accountants going through a rough patch now - even rougher than we taxpayers are.
HOLLYWOOD--God bless America, and how's everybody?
If we really care about our children's future, now is the time for Americans on both sides of the aisle to cast aside their political aspirations long enough to carry on an adult conversation about debt reduction and spending cuts.
Recently, I celebrated my 18th birthday, which for most newly-turned 18-year-olds really means nothing practically other than, if they were so inclined, they can buy cigarettes now and, if they break the law, they'll be charged as an adult.
God bless America, and how's everybody?
It says here that Jeb Bush has the best shot at the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, while Hillary Clinton might not be the Democrats' candidate - and if she is, she's no sure thing.
God bless America, and how's everybody?
Hide your wallets and shield the children, because they're voting down in Texas. Texas Republicans will be testing the strength of the Tea Party as they pick their first post-Rick Perry slate of statewide candidates since the 1980s. But Texas Democrats might end up missing Perry, as there is a decent shot that Republicans will nominate not their best-qualified, most-electable candidates but an entire clown car full of crazypants.
Hollywood and Washington: Both entertaining, often boring and far too often irresponsible.
For all those who have spent the last couple of months shoveling out a car, you should know we're at the tail end of awards season. And best be advised to hunker in a bunker wearing a Kevlar overcoat, because gold plated statues are being tossed about like air kisses at a gown fitting. Like clouds of bathroom hair spray during Oscar nominee luncheons. Like jaded eyes at a press screening of "Transformers 4."

I would like a Auto-Scrobble-Function.
Keenora Scriptwright |
I think the problem is to identify a video as "song". And to find an algorithm for that is kinda impossible, because so many people are using other structures in their names and stuff. So I think not possible... |
signalist Scriptwright |
How about using Music Recognition Service like Midomi.com (or Tunatic...) for song identification. Those identify the song by sound, and shows results: artist, album, song. When YouTube video is played, the voice recognition could identify the song and the scrobbler gets the tags. Just an idea. |

an auto-scrobble checkbox would be fantastic! (placed in the scrobble song info pop-up for convenience, perhaps...) |

The best hat I have ever owned

Comments about Sherpa Adventure Gear Tashi Beanie:
This is the best hat I have ever owned. It has been around the world with me. The only reason I replaced the old one is because I accidental shrank it, which I guess is my only complaint, but that was my own error. It's not advertised as waterproof but it might as well be. Multiple times I have worn it in Oregon downpours and my head stayed warm and dry. It's just the right amount of warmth, I can stand around in the cold or snowboard in it and it never seems too hot. The earflaps keep your ears warm without blocking too much sound. As far as a cold weather hat goes, it's everything I need.

Tenure-track faculty members at the City University of New York have voted overwhelmingly that they have no confidence in Pathways, a controversial curricular shift in the CUNY system designed to make it easier for students at its community colleges to transfer to four-year colleges and in two additional years earn bachelor's degrees. More than 60 percent of eligible voters participated in the no confidence vote, and 92 percent of those voted no confidence. While the goal of smooth transfer from community colleges to four-year colleges is one that is generally endorsed by faculty members and administrators alike, many professors have spoken out against the way this is being done. Some have complained about specific changes in requirements, while others have questioned whether too much control of curricular matters has shifted away from department and college faculties. "It should be clear now, if it was not before, that CUNY should not move forward with Pathways. A 92 percent vote of no confidence is a mandate for change," said a statement issued Saturday by Barbara Bowen, president of the Professional Staff Congress, the faculty union, which organized the vote.
CUNY officials have defended Pathways as a needed reform to help more students earn bachelor's degrees. The system maintains a webpage with information about the program here.
While a number of adjunct leaders at CUNY have spoken out against Pathways, some have also criticized the vote of no confidence for excluding their participation.

Midland Funding's Case Dismissed, Attorney's Fees Awarded
By John Skiba Leave a Comment (Edit)
Not a day goes by that I don't get several calls or emails from people that have been sued by Midland Funding, one of the largest debt buyers in the nation. Most find me through past particles I have written on the subject of debt collection lawsuits – particularly those involving Midland Funding. I write these articles to provide not only information but real world examples of how you can actually win these types of lawsuits.
Recently I had a client whom I represented in a trial against Midland Funding. When the day of trial arrived I sat there in an empty courtroom waiting for the judge to start the proceedings. A few minutes before the trial was about to begin the attorney for Midland Funding walked in alone.
As the case began it soon became apparent that Midland Funding had no witnesses there to testify. They did call my client to testify and tried to use them to introduce some of Midland's document's into evidence (Objection! Foundation, hearsay, and a bunch of other stuff). The judge had none of it and dismissed Midland's case.
Winning the case is a great thing, the cherry on top was that the judge also ordered Midland Funding to pay my client's attorney's fees and all of the costs associated with the case. To say the least, it is very gratifying for me to sit across from my client and not only tell them that the case against them has been dismissed, but to give them a check for all of the attorney's fees that had to pay me.
Can you win your case against Midland Funding? Absolutely.

UFC on FX 7: Edson Barboza vs. Lucas Martins Head-to-Toe Breakdown
By Levi Nile ,
As the UFC heads back to Brazil, two up-and-coming fighters will be squaring off for bragging rights and more in their native country, as Edson Barboza—owner of perhaps one of the greatest head-kick finishes in MMA history—clashes with the undefeated Lucas Martins.
The headlining bout will feature Brazilian Vitor Belfort slugging it out with season three winner of The Ultimate Fighter, Michael Bisping. With that in mind, UFC on FX 7 has all the potential to surpass expectations.
There may be some people who overlook the bout between Barboza and Martins, but I think that would be a sad mistake.
When watching both men in the cage, at times it may be hard to tell them apart. They not only look alike, but employ a style of fighting that is striking based. These two fighters would rather decide this contest on their feet, both gunning for the KO/TKO.
There is a lot of pressure heading into this bout for both men. Barboza is looking to rebound from a loss and Martins is looking to make a great initial impression as he steps into the Octagon for the very first time.
This fight is going to be decided by who wants it more, and that is one question I cannot wait to see answered.
Until then, here is my head-to-toe breakdown of the bout.
One of the reasons why this fight should be so exciting is because both men are very similar—at least on paper. They both favor standing on their feet and going for the victory via KO.
Barboza has defeated seven of 10 opponents by KO/TKO, accounting for 70 percent of his victories. Meanwhile, Martins has won eight out of 12 of his bouts via KO/TKO, which accounts for 67 percent of his wins.
Both men like to let their hands and feet fly, which is why this is one bout that could be Fight of the Night.
Martins fights out of the Chute Boxe camp. Anyone familiar with that name knows it means all out aggression. In his UFC debut, against a precision striker like Barboza, we have a classic battle on our hands—a tactician vs. a brawler—and those are always fun to watch.
When looking at fighters seemingly cut from the same cloth, I cannot help but give the advantage to the man who has proven he can handle the big lights and exposure that comes with fighting in the UFC.
Edge: Barboza
As both men employ a ground game firmly in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, wrestling will not be as much of a factor unless one of them is trying to maintain a strong top position, and in that they are both probably equal.
They are also probably equal in gaining takedowns—or stuffing them—but until we see them fight this weekend, we won't know for sure.
As push comes to shove, I think this is even.
Edge: Even
On paper, Martins has three wins via submission, but one of those came by punches. Therefore, he only really has two—one by armbar, the other by rear-naked choke.
Barboza has only one victory via submission. However, given their styles, that is one area that is very hard to quantify with mere statistics.
Given Barboza's time as a Muay Thai competitor (25-3, with 22 wins via KO/TKO), I think it is important to consider he has probably worked more toward avoiding submissions that utilizing them.
The same might be said for Martins—who also has a Muay Thai background (18-1)—were it not for the fact that he fights out of the famed Chute Boxe camp, where the general philosophy is attack or lose, be it standing or on the ground.
It is a very close call, but I'm leaning ever so slightly toward Martins.
Edge: Martins
While Barboza is the bigger name, Martins has other advantages going into this bout. He was incredibly active in 2012, winning 10 bouts while allowing only one to go to the judges for a decision.
Will that be enough to trump the experience Barboza has inside the Octagon? We've all seen some highly touted fighters fold under the big lights, and sometimes fighting at home can pile on the pressure.
I think that Martins will have some jitters early on. However, Barboza hasn't fought since May of last year, while Martins has fought nine times since then.
I think Martins gets his legs under him and pulls off the upset, piling up the necessary points via a mixed bag of attacks that include his striking skills and the threat of takedowns as he puts the pressure on Barboza all night long.
Prediction: Martins def. Barboza via unanimous decision

About 10-15 years ago, Louisiana flirted with lowering the drinking age to 18. 1 month later, they were back on track because of the federal mandate. Guess they liked road repair over 18 year olds drinking.

UW is one of the best academic institutions in the country. I have a hard time believing their entry requirements are lower than those at Illinois.
Originally Posted by brett108 Why would they chose Wisconsin? UW is one of the best academic institutions in the country. I have a hard time believing their entry requirements are lower than those at Illinois. Wisconsin=party school. And it is much easier to get into Wisconsin than Illinois. Illinois accepts only the best from their own state, while Wisconsin will take almost anybody. The requirements for UW are not much different than Iowa.
Originally Posted by Frak OK, having read that article, why would they need to hand out exemptions at all? The minors are able to be in those places until 10pm...who orders food after that? I mean, the Airliner got an exemption? I haven't spent a ton of time in IC, but isn't that one of the two biggest bars there? Did they hand out an exemption to the Union too? To me, it seems pretty obvious what is a bar and what is a restaurant. Sports bars can be in the grey area a little I guess. Places like Old Chicago, BWW, Okoboji Grill, Wallaby's...they are restaurants with a bar inside. Places like Peoples (RIP), Whiskey River (RIP), Welch Ave Station are bars that serve pub grub and apps. But at pretty much all the restaurants, they stop serving real food by 10pm anyway. I used to work at Whiskey River. Grill stopped serving at 10, it was our general policy no minors after 11, in case they ordered their food right before 10 they'd have time to finish it. We were pretty hard on carding minors, at least when I worked there. It was never really an issue. Of course, that's different than a campustown bar.
Originally Posted by CycloneYoda The laws are a joke. But until they are changed, I fully expect "responsible" business owners to abide by the laws instead of continuing to find ways around them. I agree completely. I think having the drinking age be 21 is ridiculous. But I expect bar owners to abide by it. I love how many of them are complaining that they will be going out of business because of this... basically outright admitting that selling alcohol to minors is part of their business plan. There are a few places that this does hurt though. There are one or two places in Iowa City that are primarily places for live music that happen to have a bar. I wouldn't mind seeing some kind of expemption there - because since they don't serve food they would never hit the 50% requirement, but they are some of the few places downtown after 10 pm where an 18 or 19 year old could legitimately be for reasons other than getting trashed.

"Drill Baby Drill" Documentary Comes To Endicott Friday
4/11/2013 (Updated 10:51:19 PM)
A new environmental documentary will be shown Friday night in Endicott."Drill Baby Drill" is a film by Utica native Lech Kowalski. The film follows a family of farmers in Poland as they band together to protect their land from shale-gas drilling.
It also mirrors farmers from Pennsylvania and the effect it's had on their community.
"I mean it could even be about another subject matter not hydrofracking. It's about a group of people, farmers who don't know anything about the big media, the big corporations, and how they set themselves up in order to fight this kind of a monster. It came into their lives, their territory and how they were able to push that off," said filmmaker, Lech Kowalski.
The 84 minute film will be shown at 7:00 p.m. Friday at the United Methodist Church in Endicott.

Oh Riot please. Why did you have to reduce Katarina's Bouncing Blade Range AGAIN? The trick I used when I play kat is Shunpo, Death Lotus and, as they get out of reach, Bouncing Blade Last hit. A bit dissappointing.

A right to be different
I heard that the students of the middle schools in Marysville are going to have to wear uniforms. I think that is taking away the students rights to express themselves. Some people express themselves through their clothes. Like some of my friends wear different clothes to be different. The right to be different should be protected.

Senior field producer David Rivera was tasked with making sure there were no surprises during the shoot—but he says stepping into the Jackson home was a surprise in itself. "You walk in and there are these big statues and busts and pieces of art with Michael Jackson everywhere," he says. "It's like stepping into this alternate universe where everything is Jackson." |

And just like that, my summer in NYC has come to an end. Three wonderful and hilarious roommates, two (dang expensive) unlimited metro cards, and one incredibly rewarding internship later, I'm ready to go, Dorothy style, back to Kansas (City, that is).
Though the city opened my eyes to a

Even though there's a lot more black in my wardrobe, I've learned what a cortado is, and my Yelp skills are now out of control, I'm looking forward to getting back to the midwest and then North Carolina to be around family and friends. So long Big Apple, Big Al loved ya!

Bandeau tops generally refer to strapless tops, but many either have center straps that tie around the neck, or come with a removable strap. Some bandeau styles feature underwires, which is perfect for giving that extra boost of support. For years, women have been falling in love with sexy bandeaus; not only do they lack the halter straps that tie behind the neck, which many find to be uncomfortable at times, but with bandeau tops you can also forget about those annoying tan lines!

Different styles of bandeaus work well for different body types. A sweetheart style, or one that dips in the center, makes you appear fuller up top, so they're perfect for those with smaller chests; similarly, twisted bandeau tops help create curves and also make you appear fuller. However, people with smaller chests should avoid bandeaus that go straight across, as they're likely to make you look smaller. Regardless of the style, bandeau tops are definitely a hit among women of all ages!

Australia urged to live up to climate finance pledge in Doha
07 December 2012
WWF Australia and Oxfam Australia have today called on the Australian Government to inject some momentum into the final days of the Doha climate summit by committing to new and scaled up financial support for developing countries.
"We are calling on Australia to, at the very least, confirm that it will scale up public funding, from the $200 million a year that is currently earmarked for climate finance in the AusAID budget", said WWF's climate change policy manager Will McGoldrick.
Over the past three years Australia has provided approximately $200 million a year to international climate finance initiatives. This funding runs out in June next year and no new funding has been announced for the coming years.
"With a relatively strong economy and a growing aid budget, Australia is very well placed to announce new funding in Doha," Mr McGoldrick said.
Climate finance has become a major sticking point in Doha, with only a handful of European countries and the UK announcing new funding. Australia has said that it will provide its 'fair share' of climate finance, without elaborating on what this amounts to. Oxfam senior policy adviser Kelly Dent says this vague statement does not provide developing countries with the concrete assurance that they need and Australia must make a more detailed commitment in Doha.
The lack of movement from developed countries risks undermining trust within the negotiations and leaves developing countries with serious doubts about whether they will be able to continue investing in practical measures to cut emissions and build resilience in the face of a changing climate.
Ahead of Doha, Australia provided much needed momentum to the UN climate talks by announcing its intention to join phase two of the Kyoto Protocol.
Kelly Dent said in the final days of the summit, Australia has an opportunity to sustain this momentum with a positive announcement on climate finance.
"Australians believe in a fair go and climate finance is all about a fair go," Ms Dent said. "Developing countries are facing the worst impacts of climate change and are the least responsible for it."
"Developing countries are looking to Australia and other developed countries to come forward with their finance pledges, as this is critical to a deal in Doha.
"It would be poor form of Australia to leave Doha without making some sort of positive signal on climate finance."
In 2009 in Copenhagen, developed countries – including Australia – committed to delivering $100 billion a year by 2020 to support developing countries to invest in clean energy, protect their forests and adapt to the unavoidable impacts of climate change.

The Man on the Bike (self.LetsNotMeet)
submitted 1 year ago by softgrunge
I live in a nice neighbourhood in a city in Ontario, Canada (I won't be more specific than that because I'm a paranoid weirdo, sorry). People on our street are on a first name basis with one another and while there isn't an established 'Neighbourhood Watch' group or anything, if ever I were to be in trouble of any kind and cry out for help, I'm certain I'd receive help pretty quickly.
So it makes sense that, although I am a bit of a nervous wreck when I venture into a new community or a more urban area, I am totally relaxed when I'm walking my dog at night down my street. My family has four pets, two of which are dogs, and while they aren't the most aggressive animals, I feel pretty safe with them around. Unfortunately, my dog is a little guy (party mix pomeranian named Tom Brady) so he can't grant me much protection when I take him out in the evening, but usually I'm accompanied by my brother, who walks our big dog (an Irish Wolfhound-the second largest breed of dog on the planet, beaten only by the Deer Hound). So, essentially, on top of my neighbourhood being super safe, I also have a two dogs with me when I'm walking around-there is usually literally nothing to worry about. This particular night, my brother was taking ages to get the big dog on leash so I decided I'd start the walk without him. I unlocked the door behind me as I always do so I could get back in later (it's a 5 minute walk) and happy strolled down the path leading up to our house and onto the sidewalk. My brother was still, apparently, really struggling with the leash and I had reached the halfway point when a bicycle leisurely went past me. He was going so slowly that I managed to get a pretty good look at him: he was wearing a black hoodie, a leather jacket, blue jeans and a baseball cap. I was still able to see his face, which looked completely normal, and I thought nothing of it, until I saw him at the intersection, as I was about to head back, turn right back around and head down the block again. This time he was pedalling a bit more quickly, and, still not making any assumptions, I stood on the corner, looked straight at him, made eye-contact, and smiled. He smiled back and continued down the block to my house (it's on corner), where he turned around AGAIN and went back down this very same block. This time I was not smiling and was a bit creeped out. My dog was still trotting along side me, small and adorable, but clearly not going to be much of a help because of his stature, and all I could think about was how badly I wanted my brother to come out of the house with our wolfhound and hopefully scare the shit out of this guy so he'd go elsewhere. The guy was pedalling straight toward me again, and this time even more slowly, with his legs barely moving to keep the wheels turning, and he was grinning at me. I was fucking terrified and I was walking as quickly as possible. He passed by me again but as he did he took his hand off one of the bike handles and held it out like he was trying to touch me. I decided that this was a good time to run, and I was heading up the path again when I saw him turn around again, this time he didn't keep going until the end of the block, and pedal full speed toward me. I was way up the path now and there was no way he was going to come after me unless he got off his bike, so I breathed a sigh of relief.
My brother had decided he was too tired to take the dog out and was sitting in our living room watching TV with the big dog in the yard.
This story wouldn't be all that creepy if it weren't for what my mother told me a few days later and for what I saw on the news. Two girls in our area had been followed by a man described as wearing a "baseball cap, hoodie and jeans". He had, according to the girl who had managed to get away, eventually gotten off of his bike and grabbed her arms and twisted them behind her back, but she had managed to wrestle herself out of his grasp and had run home. How exactly he got the other girl, who has been missing since, is unknown (obviously if someone had seen they would have tried to help), but people on the street the biker had apparently taken that day reported seeing a man fitting that same description.
Scary to think what would have happened if I had decided to walk an extra block away from my house or if I hadn't thought I needed to start running. Sorry ahead of time for my writing-I'm super tired and not a great writer to begin with.
[–]brittneybreanne 13 points14 points15 points 1 year ago
Glad you got away. Has he been caught yet?
[–]softgrunge[S] 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago
me too! not to my knowledge :( after the initial stuff about the girl's disappearance and the other attempted abduction, there was never anything new about it on TV or in the local papers. this happened about 7 months ago, and if I google it now I don't seem to get anything new on it. i'll update the post if I find anything new :(
[–]wuzhanninbruh 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago
That is so weird that he would try abduct someone on a bike?
[–]softgrunge[S] 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
agreed! I don't really understand how he would ever be able to take anyone with him, unless they were small (which I sort of am, and which it's likely the other girls were, since they were around same age as I am) and completely knocked out. Can't offer much of an explanation for this.
[–]Purplerules 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago
Good your safe but if you think of it even though it isn't much of a scary looking dog, the bites still hurt and that can give you time to I don't know get a rock or fight back but it's good you are safe.
Tom Brady does bark a lot and will definitely bite, but if you were to kick him he'd go flying-I'm not sure how much good he'd do for me if the man were to have gotten off of his bike in time to grab me. the benefit to having the larger dog with me isn't so much that i know he'll attack, but that no one (including the homeless men that sometimes cat-call and make unfortunate gestures on the nights when the local church takes them in) will bother doing anything whatsoever to me if they see him. i guess it just isn't worth the risk!
[–]sneakiiwulf 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Freaky! I bet you didn't walk your dog for a while after that.
[–]softgrunge[S] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
I did, actually! I started going down a different block, though, and never without my brother.
[–][deleted] 1 year ago
[–]xandan 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago
Though a link to a news article would very much verify OP's story, I feel you were a bit harsh on OP immediately. There are no glaring plot flaws or obvious reasons to say its fake.
[–]softgrunge[S] 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago
I have two reasons for not linking to a news article: 1. I'm having difficulty finding one to begin with. I heard about the other girls initially from my mom and then saw something on Global briefly. It's possible she was wrong and that the details of the other incidents were different. 2. If I were to find one, I wouldn't share it because it would likely have details as to where I live and I don't want to put that out there. I'm sorry that my story seems fake to you, but I have no motivation for making something up. If I did, I would have made this a lot more of an interesting and climactic story! My reason for not taking this to the cops is because it was a long time ago, and perhaps I should have said something then, and because I can't offer many details other than the clothes he was wearing and a very foggy memory of his face, which they're already aware of. The details I have don't seem like they'd be particularly helpful. Additionally I don't know what a POS is haha

You'd think people would build up some sort of tolerance to the fact that Florida seems to be consistently crushing it when it comes to cool, awesome music but here we are. Orlando electronic producer BNGL (pronounced Bengal) quietly dropped an introductory tune by the name of "Seismic Tides" and it's nothing short of incredible. Part of its allure is in how much of a slow burner it is – reaching out its dream-dusted space-pop tendrils slowly but surely before you realize you've been lured right into the middle of its oceanic expanse. It's also refreshing that it doesn't rely all that heavily on the persistence and build of heavy beats like producers are wont to do. Instead "Seismic Tides" establishes a rippled melody effect and works outwards from there like solving a puzzle without the corner pieces. "Seismic Tides" is essentially variations on a theme but damn if it's not an interestingly futuristic take on an idea pretty much as old as music itself.
BNGL has an EP in the works that'll hopefully soon see the light of day. Here's hoping.

20 great things to do in Los Angeles for tourists
From star spotting on Rodeo Drive and at the Griffith Observatory to museum hopping between the Getty and LACMA, your guide to things to do in Los Angeles.
Squeeze in the Jurassic experience
Despite the misleading name, this scientific nook has nothing to do with Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park. The Museum of Jurassic Technology is home to a repository of curiosities: scientific wonders include a bat that can fly through walls and artistic miracles such as impossibly tiny sculptures. The institute is an intriguing combination of fact and fiction, and much more exciting than chasing CGI dinosaurs. See more in Museums.
Marvel at Los Angeles museum village
The collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, or LACMA, are housed in a vast 20-acre complex of buildings, expertly renovated in 2008. The focal point is the BP Grand Entrance, which includes the stunning installation of Chris Burden's Urban Light. The Broad Contemporary Art Museum is home to a dazzling selection of modern works.
Wise up at the Griffith Observatory
You could happily spend a few hours browsing around the Griffith Observatory, even though you can't see much through the telescope because of the relentless smog that hovers over LA. There's the popular Hall of the Sky and Hall of the Eye, a pair of complementary displays that explores the connections between people and space. The star attraction is the building itself, which was featured in the film Rebel Without a Cause. See more in Attractions.
Draw from towers of strength
Italian-born tile-setter Simon Rodia began building the Watts Towers using nothing but scrap metal in the 1920s. Gradually he progressed upwards, reinforcing them with steel and cement to prevent neighborly interference over the next three decades. Scaling the towers with a window-washer's belt and bucket, he decorated them with consumer objects, such as green glass from bottles of 7-Up or Canada Dry and tiles from Malibu Pottery, as well as jewelry, marble and seashells. There are 17 of these intriguing structures, the tallest stretches nearly 100 feet into the sky. They still exude a kind of spectral beauty years after they were built. For details of tours, call 213-847-4646.
Get animated with Mickey and Minnie
You're never too old for Disneyland. This legendary theme park is packed with cool things to do, spread over seven lands. Stroll down Main Street USA to experience turn-of-the 19th century America, head Westwards at Frontierland and tune into the music of New Orleans square, minus the floods and booze. All your favorite cartoon characters come to life in dream-like environments: You can step into the wooded home of Winnie the Pooh at Critter Country, go behind the scenes of Disney films at Fantasyland and chase the iconic mouse, who'll be scurrying around Mickey's Toontown. Great rides include the stomach-churning Space Mountain and the epic Indiana Jones Adventure. See more theme parks.
