Watch Tough Love
The shows hosts feature Philadelphia based Master Matchmakers, Steven Ward and his mother JoAnn Ward. Mr. Ward is seen much more than his mother on camera.
The women participate in dating 101 classes in which they face their personal challenges. The women's behavior is evaluated by both the coaches and the men they date. In addition, focus groups of men critique behavior in a variety of settings. Surprises and traps are set in an effort to get to the root of why the women face difficulties with men. Often, there is behavior that they are engaging in that they are unaware is affecting how they are perceived.
This reality show boot camp based upon love features brutal honesty with an advisory approach. The classic character personalities displayed include titles such wedding obsessed or gold digger." The goal is that realizing and correcting their worst personality traits will allow them to change in order to attract the best men available.
Season One of Tough Love featured eight women who agreed to accept relationship advice from the hosts and coaches. Season Two featured nine women in a similar setting as Season One.
Tough Love Couples was the third season of the reality series and featured six couples in search of relationship advice from the hosts. Much like the other seasons, the couples were encouraged to face how their personality traits affect their relationships and what could be done to change the situation by altering their behavior.
Featuring a setting in Miami Beach, Florida, a new set of eight women confront their love problems with the hosts and matchmakers, Steven Ward, and mother JoAnn Ward in much the same way as the other seasons. Season Four also includes women from the New Orleans region.
Many of the seasons focus on the same love issues. However, because each season includes different women, they all react differently to the advice that is administered and experience varied results.

Davis Projects for Peace
The Davis Projects for Peace: In the its sixth year, the Davis Projects for Peace program is an invitation to undergraduates at the American colleges and universities in the Davis United World College Scholars Program to design grassroots projects that they will implement during the summer of 2013. The projects judged to be the most promising and feasible will be funded at $10,000 each. The objective is to encourage and support today's motivated youth to create and try out their own ideas for building peace.
The Davis Projects for Peace are made possible by Kathryn Wasserman Davis, an accomplished internationalist and philanthropist. Upon the occasion of her 100th birthday in February of 2007, Mrs. Davis, mother of Shelby M.C. Davis who funds the Davis UWC Scholars Program, chose to celebrate by committing $1 million for one hundred Projects for Peace. "I want to use my 100th birthday to help young people launch some immediate initiatives—things that they can do during the summer of 2007—that will bring new thinking to the prospects of peace in the world," says Mrs. Davis. Because of the many marvelous achievements made by students since the summer of 2007, Mrs. Davis is continuing the Davis Projects for Peace for the summer of 2013.

Elizabeth Hubbard
Elizabeth Hubbard as Sair Poindexter
By Mark on September 09, 2009Back in early July, Elizabeth Hubbard debuted as Sair Poindexter on the Dutch soap opera Goede Tijden, Slechte Tijden (Good Times, Bad Times). On Monday the show returned after a nine-week summer break and Hubbard's character Sair was back on Tuesday's episode. Watch her scenes after the jump. READ MORE
Elizabeth Hubbard on Dutch TV Show "Praatjesmakers"
By Mark on August 03, 2009Last night Elizabeth Hubbard (Lucinda, As the World Turns) was interviewed on Dutch television on the show Praatjesmakers. On that show the host has all kinds of lame conversations with bratty children. In one of the segments a celebrity is interviewed by one of those children, not knowing that the child doesn't come up with these questions himself (although I think most celebrities know something's going on and just play along).
ATWT: Luke Snyder, The College Dropout
By Jillian Bowe on July 24, 2009Lucinda Who? Meet Sair!
By Mark on July 02, 2009A couple of weeks ago I reported that Elizabeth Hubbard (Lucinda, As the World Turns) was going to play a guest role on Dutch soap opera Goede Tijden, Slechte Tijden (Good Times, Bad Times). Today she debuted on the show in the role of Sair Poindexter, the American mother of Irene Huygens (Anita Donk). Check out the clip with English subtitles during the few Dutch parts.
Tomorrow is the season finale of this soap, but Hubbard will continue to appear in the first few weeks of the new season starting on Monday, September 7. Both Hubbard and the show are open to more visits in the future.
Elizabeth Hubbard Goes Dutch
By Mark on May 18, 2009Elizabeth Hubbard (Lucinda, As the World Turns) is going to play a guest role on the Dutch soap Goede Tijden Slechte Tijden (Good Times Bad Times). She's going to play Sair Poindexter. She's the mother of the character Irene Huygens (played by Anita Donk). Sair is an American sexologist.
Elizabeth is looking forward to her gig at the most popular Dutch soap:
I am very excited to be joining such a distinguished cast on such a popular show. I already feel welcomed by my new Dutch family and I look forward to all the upcoming challenges. This is an actors dream and I can't wait to get started.
Besides the mother of Irene, Sair is also the grandmother of Ronja (Alexandra Alphenaar) and Dex (Emiel Sandtke). The kids can't wait to see their grandmother again. Irene is less enthusiastic. She has a love/hate relationship with her mother. Elizabeth starts filming on Monday, June 1st. Her first airdate is Thursday, July 2nd.
This blogger is thrilled with this news. Elizabeth Hubbard is one of my favorite actresses. To be able to see her on my favorite soap is going to be great.
ABC Cancels Life On Mars
By Luke Kerr on March 02, 2009Another ABC series bites the dust. Michael Ausiello is reporting that network execs at ABC have "advised the show's producers that it would not be ordering a second season. The heads-up will allow them to make this year's season finale a series finale, thus leaving no questions unanswered."
The cancellation of Life on Mars comes after ABC axed Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money and Eli Stone. Several current and former daytime stars have appeared during the series run. They include: Jennifer Ferrin (ex-Jennifer Munson, As the World Turns), Elizabeth Hubbard (Lucinda Walsh, As the World Turns), Grant Aleksander (Phillip Spaulding, Guiding Light) and Alicia Minshew (Kendall Hart Slater, All My Children).

Pakistani Pork
Military budget bungle
In 2004 the Pakistani government began billing the United States military for a new $30 million road. In 2006 it started charging us $15 million to build bunkers. The Department of Defense cut the checks. But according the Government Accountability Office (GAO), no American ever moseyed over to check if the roads or bunkers actually existed.
Those millions, and many more, came from the Coalition Support Fund-money intended to reimburse U.S. allies for military assistance since 9/11. So far the Pentagon has handed the Pakistani government $5.6 billion, ostensibly for costs associated with support for American military operations. What, precisely, has that money bought? No one really knows. When GAO investigators went over the paperwork to see what the Pakistani military had claimed as expenses, they found slapdash, inconsistent records that made it impossible to trace much of the cash. Three-quarters of the costs from January 2004 through June 2007 were too sketchy to "perform basic recalculations needed to verify the claims, such as quantity times price."
The paperwork contained other curiosities. With no discernible pattern, the Department of Defense would provide and deny reimbursement for similar items. Claims for bulletproof jackets were "generally disallowed" but "occasionally paid." And it's hard to know exactly how much the U.S. government paid for bulletproof jackets, phantom bunkers, or anything else for the period under review, because the Pentagon never verified the currency conversion rates used by the Pakistanis. As the Pakistani rupee fell against the dollar, the U.S. may-or may not-have gotten soaked.

Watching the original "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movie on Amazon Prime over the weekend (because it was the weekend), I was startled out of my sweatpants-and-potato-chips-induced semi-conscious state when I saw that Sam Rockwell was in it.
One of my favorite actors as an adult in one of my favorite movies as a kid. Granted, not an outstanding performance, but there was potential even then.
Video link
This realization set off a chain reaction of Internet-ery, the result of which is this.
Here are several early roles from future stars.
Note: A few of these videos have a little language. So headphones maybe.
Kerry Washington in "Save the Last Dance" (2001)
"Slammin'. Slammin' outfit."
Video link
Daniel Craig in "A Kid in King Arthur's Court" (1995)
Even the man who would be Bond and Blomkvist started small. After about five years of knocking around TV, Craig got a pretty substantial role in a pretty bad Disney movie. But there are no small roles for a great actor. "Kid" also starred a pre-"Titanic" Kate Winslet.
Video link
Michelle Williams on "Baywatch" (1993)
The future three-time Oscar-nominee had her acting debut on an episode of "Baywatch."
Video link
Matthew McConaughey in "Angels in the Outfield" (1994)
A year after "Dazed and Confused" and a few before "A Time to Kill," McConaughey had a small role as one of the Angels players in "Angels in the Outfield." You can see him here (shirtless) in the background of Danny Glover's tantrum.
Video link
Chiwetel Ejiofor in "Love Actually" (2003)
The "12 Years a Slave" star was the husband of Keira Knightley, whom Rick from "Walking Dead" was in love with and kept video tapes of.
Video link
Jennifer Lawrence on "Monk" (2006)
Lawrence's very first role, according to IMDB, was as a mascot on an episode of "Monk."
Video link
Bryan Cranston on "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" (1997)
The "Breaking Bad" star's been working consistently since the early '80s, and you could highlight any one of the countless bit roles from his oeuvre. I'm particularly fond of his role as a witch lawyer in an episode of "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch." He shows up about 8 minutes into the video.
Michael Fassbender in "Band of Brothers" (2001)
In fact, the HBO miniseries was packed with before-they-were-famous-ers, including Damian Lewis, Tom Hardy (pictured with Fassbender above), Simon Pegg, James McAvoy and Dominic Cooper.
Bradley Cooper in "Sex and the City" (1999)
In his first on-screen role, the sexiest man alive has a bad, greasy haircut and needs some smokes. He would shortly follow this tour de force performance by getting cast in "Alias."

Can you afford not to use cloud-based data protection?
Posted by: Michael Tidmarsh
Post by Al Perlman
The latest round of the Quantum-sponsored event series Virtualization, Cloud and The New Realities for Data Protection is coming to a close on Thursday evening with the final event in King of Prussia, Pa. If you are in the Philadelphia area or otherwise within reach, it is an event definitely worth attending, particularly if you have any questions about data protection and the cloud. And, face it, if you are in IT today can you afford not to have questions about data protection and the cloud?
The two latest meetings in St. Louis and Portland, OR, earlier this week have been enlivened by the recent introduction of Quantum's Q-Cloud, which enables customers to purchase business-class backup and recovery solutions as a service-based subscription model. There are several key aspects of Q-Cloud that have been gathering the interest of participants at the event, notably:
- Pricing: Depending upon your configuration and features such as deduplication, your backup storage costs with Q-Cloud could be as low as a penny a gigabyte per month, which is unprecedented for the performance and peace of mind enabled for business-class backup and recovery solutions.
- Simple Integration: Q-Cloud integrates seamlessly with existing solutions without the need for any modifications. This is critical for IT and storage professionals looking to reduce complexity and it enables organizations to have a broader range of fully integrated solutions for all of their various storage requirements.
As the event series has moved across the country, participants all over the U.S. have talked about the costs involved in data protection and have been looking for ways to minimize costs while maximizing data safety. An advantage of taking an approach that incorporates Q-Cloud as part of an overall strategic storage solution, is in helping IT to manage data based on its value to the organization, particularly for backup and recovery. By using an inexpensive cloud-based solution for backup and archiving, organizations can save money on what would perhaps go towards disk and tape libraries, while having the peace of mind that they can easily get to their data if and when they need it.
"One of the big things we're talking about at these events is to look at your environment and avoid treating all of your data the same," says Greg Schulz, the widely respected storage analyst who has been the keynote speaker at all of the events in the series. Schulz, the founder and senior advisor at The Server and StorageIO Group (StorageIO), says organizations deploying a cost-saving tool such as Q-Cloud can address other issues within their storage infrastructure. "Budgets are definitely a factor," he says. "We are seeing that people can use the savings derived from removing complexity and more effective data protection and reinvesting in infrastructure to support continued growth and improvements."
Saving money – or spending less money – on backup and recovery will be critical as organizations cope with ever increasing amounts of data. If you look at some of the market research on how quickly and massively data is growing, it is absolutely mind-boggling. One of the studies I like to quote comes from Smithsonian Magazine: By next year we will be generating as much data as was produced in the entire history of mankind from the beginning of time to 2003 – and we will be producing that amount of data every 10 minutes. The more organizations can save on backing up that data – savings not just in costs but also in complexity, space and manpower – the better off we will all be in dealing with data as it just keeps growing and growing and growing.
What's next? Well, as noted, there is one more event in the series, which means we'll have one more blog post to wrap things up. Stay tuned early next week for our final post in this series. In the meantime, check out the latest information on Q-Cloud.

RJD2 – More Is Than Isn't [Album Review]

1952. Twelve years have passed since Churchill lost to the appeasers and Britain surrendered to Nazi Germany after Dunkirk. As the long German war against Russia rages on in the east, the British people find themselves under dark authoritarian rule: the press, radio and television are controlled; the streets patrolled by violent auxiliary police and British Jews face ever greater constraints. There are terrible rumours too about what is happening in the basement of the German Embassy at Senate House. Defiance, though, is growing. In Britain, Winston Churchill's Resistance organization is increasingly a thorn in the government's side. And in a Birmingham mental hospital an incarcerated scientist, Frank Muncaster, may hold a secret that could change the balance of the world struggle for ever. Civil Servant David Fitzgerald, secretly acting as a spy for the Resistance, is given the mission by them to rescue his old friend Frank and get him out of the country. Before long he, together with a disparate group of Resistance activists, will find themselves fugitives in the midst of London's Great Smog; as David's wife Sarah finds herself drawn into a world more terrifying than she ever could have imagined. And hard on their heels is Gestapo Sturmbannfuhrer Gunther Hoth, brilliant, implacable hunter of men ...At once a vivid, haunting reimagining of 1950s Britain, a gripping, humane spy thriller and a poignant love story, with DOMINION C. J. Sansom once again asserts himself as the master of the historical novel.
C. J. Sansom was educated at Birmingham University, where he took a BA and then a Ph.D. in history. After working in a variety of jobs, he retrained as a solicitor and practised in Sussex, until becoming a full-time writer. He is the bestselling author of the acclaimed Shardlake series, and the Spanish Civil War thriller Winter in Madrid. He lives in Sussex.

Most Indulgent Text Size A A A
Vibe: Serene, minimalist-chic interiors and stunning views.
At a Glance: Surrounded by one hundred acres of sand-hued canyons, Amangiri is a perfect place for a weekend of hiking, spa treatments and relaxation in southern Utah.
Review: Adrian Zecha fell in love with a boulder: a gnarled, beige behemoth that jutted into an expansive landscape littered with hoodoos (sandstone towers) and flecked with verdant desert greenery. The founder of Aman Resorts pictured a pool wrapped around this rock. Never mind that it was located on government lands, that the purchase of the surrounding 100 acres took ten years, a special permission from congress and a signature from then-president George W. Bush. In the end, Zecha got what he dreamed: a spectacular U-shaped pool hugging his rock and an even more spectacular resort wrapped around both.
Amangiri (meaning peaceful mountain) is located in southeastern Utah, near the border of Arizona, close to the famous Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument. Comprised of low-rising, squat buildings that look like the ultimate James Bond hideaway, the resort mimics the sand-hued color of the surrounding canyons, blending...

What effect do flickering or flashing lights have on you? Can you describe a bit how you feel when you encounter them and what happens to you?
Does everyone with epilepsy have a reaction to them? Is everyone photosensitive in this way or is photosensitive just one specific type, and there are others who are not bothered by what they see?
My friend is also sensitive to lights. I have been helping her since her seizures started about 2 years ago. The strobes on the EEG tests don't affect her but the new LED lights in the freezer cases at supermarkets cause seizures. We have also had to get ear plugs to combat the noise of the motors in the freezer section. Also, whenever she gets the basic neuro test, whether in the ER or in the Doctor's office she either seizes or passes out cold. The flickering of light and dark while driving has also caused many of her seizures. We have tried several kinds of sun glasses but somehow the light always sneaks in. Camera flashes also make her pass out.
The main reason I am not a media superstar is because I wouldn't be able to handle the paparazzis. Not because I have no talent, look how many very famous people there are who have no talent.
Sometimes I am affected by them and others I am not.
When I am going to be affected I instantly get a headache. When the lights give me a headache I know that within a few days I am going to have a seizure... The headache lasts until I have the seizure and then it goes away.
Road construction at night is the worst!! :o(
I will have seizures when lights flicker at 50-100hrz (this is not normal, fotosensitivity is normal 25-30 hrz, but they kept on turning up the flickering during the EEG because I always have symptoms in shops....). This means when I enter rooms with TL lights, 'energy saving lightbulbs, LEDS, 'old' tv's or computer screens (flatscreens are ok for me), but also when I sit in the car and the sun shines through the trees, when I move my had when there are luxaflex in the room etc. I do use sunglasses all the time, but they won't help everytime. When I start to notice that something is 'bothering' my vision starts to change (like I'me looking through a fishtank),I will get a headache and goosebumps start to arise in strange patterns on my body. If I take meds immediately ( due to side-effects I am off every day meds for a while, ordered by doctor) I will not have a seizure, if I am too late, I will. Fortunately in my case the seizures caused by this (or patterns) are small (my other ones caused by other things are way bigger...) , but since 100 hrz is everywhere around us, it is not easy, espescially no in our country (Holland) the governement want to ban the new 'saving energy' lightbulbs to be the only ones for sale. You will understand that I have a garage full off the old ones... .
The U.S. is supposedly banning them, too. But the CFL's are poisonous and their light is ugly. It sounds like a big-business/government scam.
What kind of seizures do you have in reaction to these light situations? I get a great big violent full-body flail from light through the trees when I'm riding in the car (but not when I'm driving, strangely.)
I am not sure that I am photosensitive as there is no evidence to my knowledge that says that I am.
But for the past 2 months I have been having problems with certain things especially the lights in the lifts in the place where I have been going to do my Level 2 Numeracy. The light in the lift seems to be faulty and it flickers and it makes me feel a little strange. If it was just that I wouldn't have given much thought about it, except the thing that has happened a few times after. The tutors at the place where I go for Maths said that I have been having "funny turns" by that they meant that I seem to display things like "zoning out" which from what I read appear to be absences and also they described what appears to be partial complexs where I am non-responsive for a few minutes.
Perhaps it's just a coincedence or my body and brain not being fully awake yet, I don't know.
Roll on 1 October. :)
If you aren't aware of the zoning out, yourself, it might be an absence. I zone out alot, but I could tell you what I was thinking about. Couldn't tell you much about what was happening around me, but any recollection means you're still conscious. Non-responsive for a few MINUTES is pretty serious.
Does anyone feel funny or fall when you go outside in the sunlight? This happens to my daughter. She puts her sunglasses on but sometimes she still falls?????
Flashing lights used to make have seizures. Keppra now keeps my seizures under control. I started taking Keppra two years ago and ever since I haven't had a seizure. I thank God for the outcome.
"Believe in yourself and you can do whatever you set your heart to. Whatever/whoever you hold dear shall be blessed if you are a child of God. With God, all things are possible." look up John 3:16
I have problems with strobe lights. And the past two years now, a problem watching fireworks. The constant flashing gives me an aura. We take our kids to the fireworks every year for the 4 of July and now I have to cover my face, even the slightest bit of the flashing makes me feel VERY weird.
I'm so excited to get so many replies!
So, Kjcana, that wierd feeling counts, huh? Well, I'll be dogged. A couple nights ago I was watching the Indie rock video hour on one of our local channels and this video came on for a song by the band Cursive called "The Big Bang". I would suggest YouTubeing it, but then I'm apparently talking to people with photosensitive epilepsy, so never mind. Anyway, they show this circular blob of bright color changing colors so fast it's flashing with different colored scribbled circles in it all moving and then it shows faces of people who are just sitting there looking at the camera and it looks like a loud bang happens that we can't hear but you can see their reaction, then goes back to the flashing colored blob and scribbles. I got crawly, tingly goosebumps on the entire right side of my body from head to toe. Just the right side. I also felt an inner falling/electrical or excited-like sensation swell up inside me really fast. Sound familiar at all?
Photosensitivity is my name! I don't know about everyone else, but bright or flashing lights and I are mortal enemies. They have triggered a number of my seizures, one most notable was when the people in my office had a promotional photo session and I couldn't escape the flashes because I had to stay at my post.
I was under the impression that this was a problem for all of us, but reading the comments here, apparently this isn't true. I would, of course, suggest that all of us avoid the flickers because, just because it hasn't made you seize before doesn't mean it won't in the future.
On a side note.
They told me after my last seizure that my potassium level was low and maybe that was the cause. Now I have to choke down bananas on a regular basis. Bananas are disgusting and I would prefer to eat rubber bands.
When working w./ patients in hospitals the computer screens w/ give me headaches and then I could not focus and my friends said I would get up and walk and flap my hands. My friends said oh it was a subtle sz. One of neurologist told me to use my sunglasses in 80's and that helped. (apparently the screens flicker) I also did EEG's and at times I would look away at the light and watch the paper to see if there was any abn. of the patient or where my sunglasses. As the computers etc. got better I did not need my glasses. I still where copper lenses for my computer. It really seams to help my eyes. It may be an individual need.
I have sz caused by stress, illness, forgetting to take on time, etc but from specific flickering things I cannot say.
Hi... I recently had an EEG, and although the white fluro lights in stores bother me, I had no reaction to the strobe in the test - must mean the medication is working - yay! I do find my eyes are very sensitive to light tho, particularly in movie theaters and during live performances where the audience is sitting in the dark and the lights are thrown up on stage. If I'm in a store and there's a flickering light I don't hang around to see what will happen. Safety first I think.
I do have a friend tho who is very sensitive. She can't even be near flash photography because that sets her off. It is such a strange thing and so random. I think we all have to be wary of it.
I get incredibly dizzy. The movie theatre can really bug me. I won't even go into clubs/bars or if I do my friends guide me so I can close my eyes. I begin to feel like I am going to have an aura. They didn't use to bug me when I was younger but now they don't stop. I wasn't diagnosed with any special photosensitivity but my doctor told me it can definately have an effect. I also live in an apartment with my fiance and someone either above or below us smokes marijuana. It is so hard for me to smell it and I most of the time get an aura from it. The apartment complex though keeps saying there is nothing they can do about it. I even had my regular tonic-clonic seizure in my apartment due to it!
I have Photosensitive Eplielpsy. I had my first seizure due to a stobe light in a haunted house. Did'nt have another one until 10 years later randomly in a store. When my Dr. told me to have an EEG, they put the strobe lights in front of me, I instantly had a seizure, which is when she diagnosed me with Photosensitive Epliepsy. Two seizures due to strobe lights, and she said theone I had in the store could have possibly been a flickering light that I did'nt realize, although the feeling I had before that seizure was a different feeling then the one I get due to flashing lights. The feeling I get when I have one due to strobe lights in an intenese fear come over me, that's really it for me. I just start to freak out.
As far as watching movies in the dark, I would'nt recomend that. I remeber reading somewhere to watch tv with the lights on. I also read that if the lights are bothering you, to cover one eye versus closing both of your eyes. Somehow it's more effective.
Watching American idol bothers me
hi, pelly
ya know I would love to say that I could watch all kind of movies and not care that the little cars in the airports with the litte flashing lights dont affect me ...but...well.. they do in fact I was gonna see a movie the most recent of the 007 and I couldnt cuz I started having my "epidsodes" look its different for everyone I know that for a fact but I do know that if a dr asks me to trigger a sz I know what to tell him...
right before my brain surgery they were doing some testing and they wanted to see exactly where all the sz were coming from and the question came out "do you know what triggers your sz" hmmm I thougt should I tell them and have a gran mal or pretent I dont know .....It came out "saving private Ryan" within seconds I was having sz after sz
look we are all different and we just gotta find out which ones are our qlich
your hand of cards have been delt now play them the best you can and WIN!!!!!
never give up!
`Christina Vargas
I really don't find that I have a problem with them, when I was first diagnosed though my doctor told me to be aware so I don't go staring into strobe lights or anything. :) A few times when I have been in a club and they have strobe lights on and I am very close to them, I will get a sort of headache but no seizures. And I can watch japanimation just fine.
Thank you! I was reading about photosensitive epilepsy since posting my question and apparently it's not common? According to the Epilepsy Foundation website, anyway. It seems most people think that strobe lights and epilepsy are married. I was wondering since it is possible that I have epilepsy, but still unconfirmed. Besides the sleep "episodes" i've had forever (described in my only other post), movies about Marvel comics make me jump and jerk and feel zaps and electric tingle surges during the high action sequences, but never cause what I've always thought of as a full-on seizure. Last night we were watching "Tropic Thunder" (hilarious) in the dark, and I got up to go to the bathroom during a scene where there was constant lightning so the whole room was flashing. It threw me off as I walked, and when I got to the bathroom and turned the light on and... sat down, my skin was tingling in places, one side of my face and my arm. Really strange. Never had a problem with strobe lights, but unexpected headlights flickering through the median fence on the Interstate one night caused a big electric shock and momentary brain-scramble. I could feel the electricity popping in my fingertips for a couple minutes afterward. I checked out some of the supposedly seizure-inducing YouTube videos, too, and none of them effected me whatsoever. Hm.

Includes education resource CD with lab exercises for educators.
by DE Editors | Published December 12, 2012
Tektronix introduced the TBS1000 Series of entry-level oscilloscopes, targeted at general-purpose electronics test applications for electrical engineers, educators and hobbyists. Designed and manufactured by Tektronix, and backed by a five-year warranty, the new oscilloscopes deliver 1 GS/s or 500 MS/s sample rates and 3% DC gain accuracy down to 2 mV. "There continues to be a strong and growing need globally for lower price point oscilloscopes," said Dave Farrell, general manager, mainstream oscilloscopes at Tektronix. "With the TBS1000 Series we are meeting this need with the lowest starting price for a Tektronix oscilloscope in recent history coupled with a capable feature set and a generous five-year warranty. Now almost anyone involved in electronics can afford to step up to Tektronix quality for their testing needs." A new waveform data-logging feature allows users to save up to eight hours of triggered waveforms to a USB flash drive. Waveform limit testing allows users to monitor signal changes and output pass/fail results. The TBS1000 is based on the same proprietary technology as the extremely TDS2000 Series, and includes the same triggering, automatic measurements, USB connectivity, and FFT capability. To meet the needs of educators, each oscilloscope includes an Education Resource CD offering a range of lab exercises, instructor's guides and primers that cover the use of oscilloscopes and probes. For more information, visit Tektronix. Sources: Press materials received from the company and additional information gleaned from the company's website.

Patients blinded by radiation device ads

Hi !
If you would like to be featured in this blog with your Original MESH Products for Men (and high quality templates), please send them to Yves Firlan in a folder (single items get easily lost in my 100K+ inventory) named:
! Review Copy from ... (Name Of Your Brand/Shop)
Please include a Notecard with a SLURL/SLURLs or a Landmark to where the item(s) can
be found.
If the product has been created for an event, please add details about a possible special price and availability as well as information like name, background and duration of the event.
By the way:
- Body Parts like Mesh Eyes, Regular Skins, All Hair & Tattoos as well as
- Accessories (Glasses, Belts, Necklaces, Bracelets, Rings, Shoes)
will also be reviewed. Shapes, in general, will not be blogged!
Female Items: Please send all female items to my co-blogger, Callie Tendandes!
Disclaimer: We cannot guarantee that every item you send us will be featured in the
blog but we will try to blog everything we find interesting!
Thank you for your interest in our blog!
Yves Firlan
A note on the side from Y.F.: After having promoted fashion in SL for almost 5 years now, I would like to thank all of the designers who supported me and worked with me during this time. I hope to continue our successful cooperation in the years to come.
One thing worries me, though: With Mesh on the rise in SL and a lot of new faces on the fashion market, some designers seem to think that bloggers work for them and that sending them review copies means that they are paying them for their efforts and have a right to get their items blogged. This is a misconception! Fashion bloggers are not hired PR workers. Having them join your blogger group does not make them your employees, it just makes it easier for you to send them stuff! The truth is: Bloggers voluntarily sacrifice their free time so that designers can make more money. To provide them with the means (= review copies) to do so is the minimum designers can do.
And here's a another thought for you: Good bloggers are so busy that they don't have the time to wear most outfits a second time after posting them. Instead, they will most likely delete them afterwards to keep their inventory from overflowing. If they actually do wear your outfit in their rare private time it means that you actually created an outstanding product. It's the biggest compliment you can get from them.
So please, stop harrassing us with new rules, don't blackmail us with demands like "Obey or get kicked", and don't ask us to fill out forms or to apply for things like an event coverage. If you want to know how we work, read the review policy provided above! A good cooperation among partners - and that's what we consider ourselves to be: your partners - is always a question of give and take. If you are not happy with the coverage you receive for your products you might have chosen to send them to the wrong people. Make an effort to find out who you work with! Invest some time to get to know good bloggers personally instead of having them bossed around by some rude blogger manager on a power trip.
If one works with professional minded bloggers who don't like to embarrass anyone publicly but would rather contact them in private to point out possible oversights and flaws with their products so that they can correct them as fast as possible, not being blogged can mean one of two things:
- Either your item is still in the pipeline and will be blogged as soon as possible (most of us have a real life, too, remember!)
- or your product just failed to get us excited. As said before: We cannot guarantee that every item you send us will be featured in the
blog but we will try to blog everything we find interesting! Low quality items will be ignored.

Teamwork is what the Green Bay Packers were all about. They didn't do it for individual glory. They did it because they loved one another.

No problem is insurmountable. With a little courage, teamwork and determination a person can overcome anything.

Teamwork is the quintessential contradiction of a society grounded in individual achievement.
Marvin Weisbord
Team members who feel threatened but who are not aware of it become rigid — and that stops teamwork.
Will Schutz
Teamwork is so important that it is virtually impossible for you to reach the heights of your capabilities or make the money that you want without becoming very good at it.
Brian Tracy
Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.

LIVEWELL MINUTE: MammoSite
This year more than 2,000 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in Iowa . The John Stoddard Cancer Center at Iowa Methodist Medical Center is proud to be the first in Central Iowa to pilot a new treatment for breast cancer.
Dr. Evangelos Gavathas, Chief Medical Physiscist of Radiation Oncology says, "We are excited to be participating in a clinical trial for a new device called MammoSite, which delivers bursts of radiation to the cancerous area over a period of five days, as compared to six weeks with standard radiation therapy."
Candidates for this clinical trial have early-stage breast cancer and have had a lumpectomy. The MammoSite, a small, soft balloon attached to a thin catheter, is implanted at the lumpectomy site. A small radiation seed is placed inside the balloon. Radiation treatments are administered twice a day for 15 minutes. Each treatment delivers about twice as much radiation as a standard treatment.
Dr. Gavathas says, "MammoSite only treats the area that is affected by the cancer, thereby minimizing the effect of the treatment on our patients. It s just a better way to deliver a highly localized radiation dosage."

We all know the story, but San Jose Rep's original adaptation of Dickens' novel brings a level of authenticity, history, and even economic relevance to this well known tale of greed and redemption. San Jose Rep's adaptation of this holiday classic, adapted by Artistic Director Rick Lombardo, is a haunting exploration of psychology, social inequality and the value of community. This is A Christmas Carol the way Charles Dickens dreamt it, with recreations of traditional Victorian carols performed by actors in lavish period costumes.
The Boston Globe described Lombardo's adaptation of A Christmas Carol for the New Repertory Theatre as: "All wonderful … but what really lingers here is the wholeness of Lombardo's vision: He treats the familiar story with respect but makes it unmistakably his own."
San Jose Rep's production features 18 actors, playing more than 50 roles, including five local children who will fill such roles as Tiny Tim, Alice Cratchit, and more.
"I created this adaptation of A Christmas Carol in 2004, and I'm very excited to finally be sharing it with our community,"said Lombardo. "My focus in creating this version was to put the actor at the center of the event They all play multiple roles, narrate the story, play multiple musical instruments – they even move the scenery. In his story, Dickens is concerned about social and economic inequality, and the lesson Scrooge learns is about his responsibility to his fellow man. This alone makes this story timeless, and still an important one for our time."
The production runs from Nov. 23 to Dec. 24, 2011 with Press Opening Night on Wednesday, November 30 at 7:30 pm. Tickets are available at the San Jose Rep Box Office at 101 Paseo de San Antonio or can be purchased online at www.SJRep.com or by calling 408.367.7255.
Dickens' inspiration for A Christmas Carol resonates today, as the story was, in fact, a scathing criticism of unbridled nineteenth-century industrial capitalism and the stark differences between the wealthy and the poor.
Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol in about six weeks and it was first published in 1843, designed as an emotional appeal to his countrymen to alleviate the miseries of the very poor in their midst. At the time, Christmas was no longer celebrated as a festive holiday. In A Christmas Carol, Dickens describes feasting, games, and family unity; combined with his message that Christmas was a time "when want is keenly felt and abundance rejoices." The story is believed to have helped drive popular interest back to the many Christmas traditions still practiced today.
Regularly priced tickets for A Christmas Carol range from $29 to $74 with student tickets priced from from $10 to $37. Seniors and teachers receive $6 off the ticket price. $99 Family Packs are available. (Family Packs include two adult tickets and two youth tickets in the Parterre or Balcony section for any performance. Seating section is based upon seat availability for specific performances)

From local network
Security Bypass, DoS, System access
Solution Status:
CVE Reference(s):
Luigi Auriemma has discovered some vulnerabilities in WinCom LPD Total, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions, cause a DoS (Denial of Service), or compromise a vulnerable system.
1) A boundary error in the Line Printer Daemon (LPDService.exe) when processing print jobs with an overly long control file name can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted print job to default port 515/TCP.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code, but requires knowledge of an existing printer queue name.
2) Two boundary errors in the Line Printer Daemon can be exploited to cause stack-based buffer overflows by sending specially crafted packets to default port 13500/TCP.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
3) Missing authentication checks in the Line Printer Daemon can be exploited to perform certain actions on the service such as e.g. adding a printer queue, which can be used to aid in exploiting vulnerability #1.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 18.104.22.1683. Other versions may also be affected.
Restrict network access to the Line Printer Daemon service.

Amidst masses of anxious men stands a woman in a grey and pink headscarf, armed with a to-do-list doubling as a journalist's notepad, and a pink pen. This woman is 22-year-old Heba Afify and she is determined to document the voice of her people.
Afify is the charming protagonist of a documentary titled "Words of Witness." Part of the Human Rights Watch Film Festival, the 68-minute film by filmmaker Mai Iskander follows Heba Afify as she captures the stories of citizens during the Egyptian Revolution for Al-Masry Al-Youm, a daily independent newspaper.
What seemed at its conception to have been a documentary about the revolution and its turmoil, turned out to be a telling story about a woman and perhaps about women.
After interviewing half a dozen women journalists in Egypt, and moved by Heba Afify's "commitment to her work and her courage," Mai Iskander chose to follow Afify as she took to the streets, documenting the thoughts and emotions of Egyptian citizens during the revolution, after the ousting of then dictator Hosni Mubarak, and even up to the recent elections.
The final product, premiering in New York just a week after learning the outcome of Egypt's first presidential election post-revolution, gives a rare look at the emotional roll coaster that the people of Egypt went through during the revolution, from the excitement at its onset to the feelings of disillusionment and skepticism towards the previously revered army.
My take-away, however, was a broader glimpse of the challenges young women journalists face, and specifically the challenges Muslim women journalists, who are bound by societal, cultural, and familial norms, face as they confront these sorts of coming-of-age moments. [Read more...]

"Fantastic game, outstanding graphics"
Installation is a bit complicated and after finally installs program starts updates that may take couple hours to days - it took two days to install for me. It will require some patience to install it, but completely worth it.
I don't really like that installation is via Steam, I got used to old school installations that you just install a game from DVD/CD and play without any social networks and advertisements (it is a bit annoying after every time I closed the game to see advertisements for new games).
Only because the software itself is so fantastic I can forgive this.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will implement more stringent emissions requirements for on-highway diesel engines beginning in January 2010. As a result, the price of buses built by Navistar subsidiary IC Bus with these new engines coming in 2010 will increase $6,000 per unit.
"IC Bus understands that many bus customers have fixed budgets and we recognize that a price increase will have an impact on them," said John McKinney, president, IC Bus. "Through more efficient sourcing and manufacturing operations, we have worked diligently to minimize the design and development costs so that 2010 engine prices are as manageable as possible for our customers. And, while our engines will not have the addition of extra aftertreatment equipment like competitors choosing SCR, we've invested heavily into the development of a non-urea solution and meeting the stricter emissions levels carries a higher price."
To meet the 2010 EPA emissions requirements for on-highway diesel engines, IC Bus school and commercial buses will be powered by MaxxForce Advanced EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) engines with proven technologies, including advanced fuel injection, air management, electronic controls and proprietary combustion technology.
This pricing impacts all IC Bus school bus models (the BE Series, CE Series, FE Series and RE Series) and commercial models (including the HC Series and LC Series).
