Arians: Not interested in running QB for Cardinals
Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick both led their teams to the playoffs last season, and both figure to be effective for years to come.
And, part of what makes each of them so good is their ability to run as well as pass.
Teams have been trending towards adding mobile quarterbacks of late, with the likes of Cam Newton, Robert Griffin III and Jake Locker all selected in the top 10 of recent drafts.
However, don't expect the Cardinals to follow suit.
"Give defensive coordinators in the National Football League credit, they'll have time to study this new trend that's happening right now in the NFL," new Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. "I'm not a believer in putting my quarterback in harm's way; I think a lot of harm will come to him.
"I'm more of a traditionalist."
What does that mean for the Cardinals as they continue to search for a quarterback? John Skelton and Ryan Lindley are more pocket-style passers while Kevin Kolb tends to be more comfortable running around a bit.
As for the draft, the top-ranked passer appears to be West Virginia's Geno Smith, who is mobile yet is not apt to just take off and run. Prospects Matt Barkley, Mike Glennon and Tyler Wilson do most of their work from the pocket as well, albeit without Smith's mobility.

Former CEO Wasendorf sentenced to 50 years
By Pat Blank
A federal judge has sentenced 64- year- old Russell Wasendorf, Sr. to 50 years in prison. Last July, following an attempted suicide, Wasendorf admitted to stealing more than 215 million dollars in customer funds from his Cedar Falls brokerage firm Peregrine Financial Group.
In a plea agreement in September, he pleaded guilty to charges of mail fraud, embezzlement and making false statements. 50 years is the maximum punishment for those offenses. There is no parole in the federal court system. He was sentenced by Chief Judge Linda Reade.
Prior to sentencing, former U.S. Congressman Dave Nagle of Waterloo testified on Wasendorf's behalf and urged Reade to consider Wasendorf's positive attributes, including the numerous charitable contributions he made.

Caution is the right reaction to chemical

Maybe you've seen the ad showing an empty shopping cart in the middle of the desert. "Soon, many common, everyday products could disappear from grocery store shelves all across California," it warns.
That would be pretty ominous, if it were true....

The local environment is serving as Fort White High School's (FWHS) laboratory of sorts. The school and Ichetucknee Springs State Park formed an Outdoor Service Learning "Parknership" for grades six through 12 to offer educational experiences by providing hands-on, field-based investigations that reinforce, enrich and make relevant classroom studies, as well as provide opportunities for service learning in the community.
Since 2005, the FWHS middle school science department has worked with the Learning in Florida's Environment (LIFE) Program through the Office of Environmental Education. Together, they have developed 12 field investigations for seventh graders ranging from Outdoor Orienteering, evasive plant study of water lettuce, to dendrochronology (dating of past events such as climatic changes through the study of tree ring growth).
Students have planted and transplanted native Coontie plants, created terrariums for water cycle understanding, and removed invasive Japanese Climbing ferns from the Park. Some of the eighth graders have also created "biodegradable' boats and raced the river calculating average speed along the way.

After filming our segment on the Anderson Cooper show, Anderson stopped by the Green Room to visit with our little girls. He did not have to do that, as he had another show to film and CNN lineup later that evening!
Anderson was so nice to them, and really made my girls feel like a million dollars! Not that I wasn't a huge fan of his shows before {going back to Channel One with Lisa Ling}… but I am extremely loyal now for that reason alone! If you have not seen the Anderson talk show, I recommend that you do so!
My six-year old was in a particularly "goofy" mood, having an hilarious time teasing Anderson!
I quickly grabbed my iPhone and caught the tail end of their conversation as she told Anderson that he should get a mohawk! He laughed and said, "Sure!" We included the clip in the tutorial below…
Luckily for us, we had just filmed this Bun Hawk hairstyle a week ago!
Many of our fans have been requesting this hairstyle, since so many schools are having Crazy Hair Day at school! We had a very old tutorial in photos on the site, but a video certainly makes the hairstyle easier to follow!
You may also remember that this was my hubby's first contribution to our hairstyle repertoire, as this was his idea!
This hairstyle uses the bantu knot technique to form the hawk part of the hairdo. This is so easy to do and will guarantee comments all day long!
We use this style a lot when our girls are playing sports, because not only does it garner lots of attention… but it intimidates a little as well! The girls also wear this to 80′s parties, along with Crazy Hair Day. It could be a fun gymnastics style, too!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 10 hair bands, hairspray {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 5-10 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
{If you have problems with thin hair or baby flyways, you may want to try a little pomade or hair fiber gum to help hold in the twisty buns, but this is completely optional.}

This unique braided hairstyle is lesser known, but it is making the rounds on Pinterest from a few wonderful sites.
What I love most about this braid is how easy it is to do, however the finished product looks so complicated {like you spent an hour on it}! If you know how to French Braid, you can do this hairstyle easily with only a small tweak to the stranding!
When you are finished braiding, you simply grab the center part of the braid about 1-2 inches below the ponytail holder. Then, gently pull that part of the braid up over top of the ponytail holder {secure it there} and the whole braid literally "pops" out into a super-cute 3D braid!
After watching the video, you can clearly see why this hairstyle is called a "cage braid" because the style effect looks very much like a ribcage. My girls and I fully plan on using this braid in a Halloween hairstyle using a red-heart bobby pin stuck in the right side of the cage.
It would also make for a fun Christmas party hairstyle because the braid could easily be decorated as a tree! Many fans will likely use it for Crazy Hair Day because it does have a very unique look to it!
Although I know this hairstyle may not be for everyone, I promise you will receive many compliments from people on it, with most wondering how in the world you were able to do it! Our secret is… that it only took 5 minutes! How neat is that???
Items Needed: Rat-tail comb, spray bottle, two ponytail holders, 4 bobby pins, hairspray and accessory {if desired}
Time Requirement: 5 minutes
Skill Level: Medium

Comment on this post »Aside from feather extensions, I am starting to see quite a trend towards color highlights in girls hairstyles. I am not a fan of permanent color in my girls' hair, for obvious age reasons, but also because it can be damaging and a big commitment to that color.
My girls are coming home stating that many girls in their classes are using highlighters or Sharpies to color strands of hair {I about died hearing this}! That certainly cannot be good for the hair, even if they believe it washes out!
Just a few weeks ago, a Facebook fan commented that she thought we had used chalk highlights on a hairstyle we posted for our #3 daughter. We didn't… however, intrigued, we looked into what it would take to use chalk as highlights and this tutorial is the end result.
What is great about these highlights is that they are fairly easy to apply, are non-toxic, last for one day and then easy to wash out. I bought our chalk pastels at Michael's {with a 50% off coupon}, but you may buy similar pastels on Amazon. I, personally, would not use oil pastels as they will be messier and much harder to wash out.
I had my daughter's hair in a soft braid the day before, to help add some body to the hair, so this is perfect 2nd day hairstyle! Be sure your daughter is wearing a shirt that you do not mind getting a little dirty {or use a plastic cape or towel over the shoulders}. You can create these highlights with minimal mess, if you are very careful.
Next, I take a bright colored pastel chalk and gently wet it with either the spray bottle or faucet. I then take a small strand of hair and, by gently rubbing the wet chalk in a downward motion. I color the bottom 4-5 inches of the strand. {Do not rub the chalk up and down the strand as this will ruin the hair.} I do the same on another 2 strands or so, and then switch to another color, and vary the colored segment lengths a bit.
After I have colored the desired strands, you can {if you wish} gently brush through the strand once with a brush, and then take a curling iron or wand and help set the chalk by curling the highlights. This also allows for the strands to fall beautifully within the rest of the hair. You may also choose to spritz the strand with hairspray to help the chalk highlights stay in longer.
Chalk highlights can work with many different colors of hair, including dark. Obviously, the darker vibrant colors show better on blonde hair with the lighter vibrant colors showing better on dark hair. You can use any number of colors, and it can be fun to experiment!
Fans on YouTube are going nuts over this hairstyle, because it is so easy to do and easy to wash out. As this is a chalk application, when you wash the hair… be sure to use a good conditioner. Chalk has a tendency to remove oils, so it is important to keep the hair conditioned.
This hairstyle tip is perfect for holiday hairstyles, school spirit day, cheerleaders, crazy hair day, or for use in many of our hairstyle combinations. It is a way to have a little color, which is becoming popular, without the committment! Enjoy!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, towel, pastel chalks, curling iron, hairspray.
Time Requirement: 5+ minutes
Skill Level: Easy

Comment on this post »Lady Gaga first introduced the "Hair Bow" hairstyle to the masses back in 2009, and it has gained steady popularity every since. Aside from her Grade-A meat dress, or being carried to an awards show in an UFO-looking egg, this is another of her popular fashion moments and certainly the most duplicated.
We have received hundreds of requests for our own version of the bow hair style over the past few months. It has been perhaps the most asked-for style we have ever had!
Just last weekend, we finally found some time to film the bow hairstyle version that my girls have been wearing. We get compliments all the time on how cute it is, so we are sure you are going to like it!
This is a perfect hairstyle for your daughter if she decides to dress up as Minnie Mouse {along with a set of Disney mouse ears), also good for Crazy Hair Day, or used in a variety of hairstyle combos {we plan to show some in later tutorials}.
If you have seen the pictures of Lady Gaga's bow, you will notice that it is a half-up/half-down hairstyle. We opted for a full on updo for our tutorial, but you can do it either way. You may also choose to angle the ponytail to either side so that the bow if offset. The great thing about this hairstyle is that it is completely up to you! Enjoy!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 hair band, 6-7 bobby pins, hairspray {if desired}
Time Requirement: 5 minutes
Skill Level: Medium

Awesome card!Pros: Powerful Cons: Cooler "could" be better. Other Thoughts: I purchased this on sale to replace a GTX460 1gb SC. So far it is great and beats the GTX460 in every way. The cooler is not as large as other brands but it is quiet and does the job. This card runs with 0 lag on BF3 on ultra settings, 16x and max resolution on my 24" monitor on an e8400 3.8ghz dual core setup. Did you find this review helpful? |
awesome cardPros: good card, willl max out any game i throw at it and always maintaining over 45 fps in bf3 maxed out completely. for the price i kinda wish i waited for the gtx 670 but the hd 7950 is deff a awesome card i love it Cons: wont max out final fantasy 14, but which single gpu can? lol Did you find this review helpful? |
Great valuePros: Great price, outstanding performance. This is my second 7950. Running 12.3 and benching/stressing to weed out any issues. So far, smooth running. Will be CF once I've verified this card is solid. My first 7950 has been perfect. Cons: None so far. Third Mini Dp would have been nice. Did you find this review helpful? |
Very nice cardPros: Plays every game I tested at 60+ fps on max settings. Has never reached 60C, very cool card. I love how short this card is. I'm guess that this card would fit in any and all case I have ever owned. Cons: The shroud is does not remove hot air from the case as you might think, instead the heat sink and fan remove only some of the hot air from the case leaving the rest inside. If your thinking about buying this card. I would advise you to buy the nonreference card instead. In fact the only reason I removed an egg was because of the shroud. I look at it as a step backwards. Other Thoughts: This is the first non sapphire card I have bought, and even though in the past I've heard some down right scary storys about PowerColor cards, I can say I'm pleasantly surprised. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Fun while it lastedPros: Worked FANTASTIC untill it didn't Cons: I bought this card on 4/24/2012 and after 3 weeks the card just stopped working. I was watching Netflix. I walked out of the room to grab a drink and as soon as i walked back in the room My computer shut off. Tried to power it back up and nothing.. So i started troubleshooting by unplugging stuff 1 by 1. Once i got to the video card and unplugged it the system would power on. So i removed the card and tested it in my sons pc and my wifes pc and the same result.. The computers wouldnt power on while the 2 6pin pci-e were plugged in so im sending it back for a replacement Other Thoughts: This is my first time buying a high end Powercolor video card. Also. This is the first time i have ever had a video card fail for no reason like this one did. I hope this is not a sign of things to come. It was running very cool 49c max while gaming 29c idle so i know it was not a heat issue. Aslo i never had the need to overclock the card so i know that was not a issue. It just stopped Manufacturer Response: 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
NicePros: Haven't found a game it can't run at Max settings yet. The stock cooler rarely needed to ramp up, and when it did I wasn't too bothered. I didn't try to OC on the stock cooler, but I'm sure you could. Cons: I got it closer to launch, before the price drop. Other Thoughts: .I went with the PowerColor because my previous setup of 2 x PowerColor 3870's lasted until I now. They seem to be of good quality, never had to talk to support. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Solid card awful heatsinkPros: -Solid card with no hardware related issues Cons: -This is not really PowerColor's fault as they use AMD's reference heatsink design, but the heatsink this card comes with is inadequate. With the card in it's bare stock form it hits over 90 C in FurMark. I stopped it at 91 C because it was steadily rising and I didn't want to damage the card. The fan was running at 100% from 80 C onward. Other Thoughts: Spend the extra money and buy one with an upgraded heatsink design, I really wish I had. Did you find this review helpful? |
PowerColor HD7950Pros: Very nice Video Card, I am so happy i got this model, so fast, The fan is very QUIET !!! The grafics will make you jump out of your chair!!!! Cons: no Problems Did you find this review helpful? |
Excellent replacement for those who have been waiting to long for a replacement for the 4870 series.Pros: Excellent performance in most games out there, including Crysis, COD series, BF3, and many others. Also runs Mass Effect 3 maxed out at 1680x1050 resolution. Currently waiting for a nice 3view 2560 x 1440 IPS screen to really push this card to its limit. Cons: While installing the drivers, you may have an issue where your screen blacks out, and does not come back on. Let the install process run its course, then press the Windows key, then the right arrow two times. Finally tap the up arrow, and hit enter. This will be the restart option, at least if your OS is Windows 7. Your system should reboot ok, with the new driver installed. I'm currently not sure if this is a problem with the graphics card's bios or with AMD's install routines, but it is a new product, so I won't ding them an egg for that, since I was able to work around the problem. Other Thoughts: System specs are as follows: Did you find this review helpful? |
Excellent CardPros: The one i recieved overclocks extreamly well and out preforms a stock 7970 except in programing loads Cons: base fan speed is pretty loud. But thats normal for ati, drop the fan to ~40% cap and things are golden Did you find this review helpful? |

FRANKFURT, Jan 28 (Reuters) - Germany's VNG has secured a 1 billion euro ($1.35 billion) credit line from 12 banks with a view to supporting its operations and for planned investments, the gas producer and importer said on Monday.
'The loan is for a three-year term and replaces a big chunk of existing bilateral credit lines,' the Leipzig-based company said in a statement.
It said that banks in the group included Commerzbank , Deutsche Bank, BayernLB and DZ Bank.
'Obtaining the credit is a milestone in the financing history of VNG and an expression of the trust the banks have in our future business model,' Chairman Karsten Heuchert said.
VNG evolved from communist Germany's gas company and is a long-term partner of Russia's Gazprom, among others. It has expanded its activities in recent years, including exploration and imports, most notably from Norway, as well as trading, transport and storage in central Europe.
VNG is majority-owned by unlisted north-west German regional utility EWE, in which Germany's No.3 utility EnBW has a 26 percent stake. EWE's stake amounts to 47.90 percent.
Other shareholders in VNG include a group of local utilities called VNG Verwaltungs- und Beteiligungsgesellschaft of Erfurt (25.79 percent), Wintershall Holding GmbH (15.79 percent), and Gazprom Germania (10.52 percent). ($1 = 0.7421 euros)

Author Biography
Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer in the twentieth century, and for his efforts he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. Hemingway wrote in short, declarative sentences and was known for his tough, terse prose. Publication of The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms immediately established Ernest Hemingway as one of the greatest literary lights of the twentieth century. As part of the expatriate community in 1920s Paris, the former journalist and World War I ambulance driver began a career that led to international fame. He covered the Spanish Civil War, portraying it in fiction in For Whom the Bell Tolls, and he also covered World War II. His classic novella The Old Man and the Sea won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. He died in 1961.

Frontier Natural Products Chicory Root Granulated Roasted -- 1 lb
makes a nice sugar-free pudding dessert
This was my first chicory try. Lots of flavor. I make a two cup pot, but only use about a half cup at a time, mixed with a half cup of alternative milk (the richer with fat, the better), and a tiny bit of stevia. Oftentimes I add a tsp or two of chia to make a sweet chicory pudding. Very yummy. The remaining liquid chicory goes in the fridge, and the grounds are stored in the freezer. I find chicory to be just as acidic as coffee, but without the caffeine that makes me manic. Recommend.
May 2, 2013
Chicory Coffee
I really like the flavor of Chicory root coffee. It's good by itself or mixed with roasted dandelion root and coconut milk.--no sugar needed. Great way to start the day!
April 30, 2013
Love the flavor
I make chicory root tea everyday. It feels like I am drinking coffee, well, almost. It tastes good with almond milk, too.
My husband add this to his smoothie.
March 29, 2013
Better than coffee!
Better than coffee! Actually good for you and very hearty flavor. We stew it on the stove for about 1/2 and very little is needed.
March 27, 2013
Great taste
Instead of drinking caffeine, this is an excellent substitute. It tastes good, & it will last a long time, just need to strain the bottom of the cup, before drinking .

The Queens of Colonoscopy are the talk of the town
Lisbon, ND (WDAY TV) -- A group of women from Lisbon, North Dakota is the talk of the town for taking a serious medical issue and turning it into a humorous but positive ad campaign. They are known as the Queens of Colonoscopy. Four women who are providers at the "Family Medical Clinic" in Lisbon.By: Kevin Wallevand, WDAY

Few of the local wine towns south of Santarém stand up to a visit in their own right, but if you're not in a hurry the drive down the N3 towards Vila Franca and Lisbon isn't a bad one. Many vineyards offer tours and tastings and they are all signposted from the road. The drive below can occupy half a day, with lunch taken in either of the two prettiest towns, Alenquer or Arruda dos Vinhos.
Wine has been produced on the banks of the Tejo for around two thousand years and, while it's long had a reputation for quantity rather than quality, the offerings of some new producers have recently begun to acquire an international profile. At CARTAXO, the self-declared "capital do vinho" 14km south of Santarém, the Museu Rural e do Vinho is the single best place to investigate the subject. It's housed in the signposted Quinta das Pratas, a municipal park and sports complex on the town outskirts, and as well as the exhibits you can taste and buy the local wines.
AZAMBUJA, 13km to the southwest, is known for its reds made from the Periquita grape, though the town itself isn't worth a stop. However, for a true off-the-beaten-track sight, follow the signs to the Vala de Azambuja, a 26-kilometre-long canal built parallel to the river by the Marquês de Pombal, designed to drain the land when the Tejo was in flood. Three kilometres up a dirt road (fine for cars; signposted "Palácio") stand the forlorn ruins of the Palácio das Obras Novas, used as a staging post for the steamers plying the route from Lisbon to Constância in the nineteenth century.
At Carregado, the N3 meets the N1, and offers a choice of routes further into the rolling hills. Five kilometres north, and perched on a hill above the Alenquer river, ALENQUER mainly produces lemony flavoured white wines. Traffic chokes the main road alongside the river, but it's an enjoyable climb up to the attractive upper town, where you can visit the Manueline cloisters of the church and convent of São Francisco, the oldest Franciscan house in Portugal, built during the lifetime of St Francis of Assisi.
However, it is in the valleys around ARRUDA DOS VINHOS, 13km west of Carregado, that the region's vineyards are at their most attractive. It's a pretty town, too, with an enormous eighteenth-century public fountain and handsome Manueline church, but is top-heavy with restaurants and real-estate agents, both the consequence of the weekend influx of Lisboans.

We bring you the first ever look at the F33 3 Series convertible (or 4 Series as it may be called when released) in testing with its hardtop roof retracted. The F33 largely shares the same proportions with the current E93 3 series convertible, although like the rest of the new F3x 3 series generation of cars, it will have slightly shorter overhangs, a longer wheelbase, and a bit more rear legroom.
These photos also represent the first clear look at the interior of the F33 convertible, which, from what can be seen, looks largely the same as the F30 3 series sedan. But, the rear view mirror is different, as is the new iDrive knob and controller system.
We also notice something curious about the front seats, … CONTINUED
Here are photos from the latest F31 3 series touring sighting. Are we possibly looking at the first indication of a 328i xDrive with manual transmission? When we previously interviewed BMW on which F30/F31 xDrive models would receive a manual transmission, all we were told was that there would be at least one xDrive model with manual transmission. So, *if* this particular F31 is a 328i xDrive model (the front suspension appears to sit a bit higher?), then it would appear that the 328i may be one of the xDrive models to receive a manual transmission option.
The BMW 335i (F30) sedan is put to the test against the more powerful (and more expensive) Audi S4. Can the 335i keep up? While the 335i was down on acceleration compared to the S4, the author still picked the 335i over the S4. Why? Here's some of the notable things said about each car and how they compared:
"The 300hp inline-6 in the 3-series impresses with its sharp throttle response and smooth-as-silk operation. Not only does it accelerate the 335i strongly, but it also shows a nice and warm engine sound causing goose bumps. And that's something the Audi can't keep up with. Its [Audi's] V6 does make a good noise but it's always a bit artificial – as if the engine sound was composed on … CONTINUED
We're happy to share the first spyshots of the F33 4 Series Convertible with its top down and in operation. Earlier spyshots suggested that the 4 Series Convertible will retain its folding hard top mechanism, first introduced on the predecessor E93 3 Series Convertible. These spy photos officially confirm this. As far as we can tell, the hard top operation and design is largely similar to the E93′s so we wouldn't be surprised if this was a takeover from the current car.
That's where the similarities end in these photos, as the F33 sports unique seat which remind us of the F12/3 6-series seats, and which could signal an upmarket position from the F30 3 series sedan. The exterior is still heavily camouflaged (no, the round rear … CONTINUED
The 2012 328i (F30) takes on the Audi A4, Infiniti G25, Mercedes C250, and Volvo S60 in this latest sports sedan compare by Car and Driver.
Does the F30 retain its spot at the top of the sports sedan food chain? See the review inside.
We had the opportunity to sit down with the gracious Dr. Friedrich Nitschke, current BMW M GmbH President, at the 2012 Geneva Motorshow last week. We were primarily interested in discussing future M models and developments and here's what we are able to report.
Is it safe to assume that will there will be a successor to the popular 1M coupe?
We sold more than 5000 units worldwide and we are thinking for a successor, but we haven't made a decision yet.
We've seen next generation M3 sedan prototypes for a while now. What M3 variants can we expect for the next generation?
The M3 is an icon and it's very important for us to make it a perfect fit for our customer. It has to be a … CONTINUED
Here is a new sighting of the F32 4 series / 3-series coupe. Compared to the F30 3 series sedan, the 4 series coupe will have a more muscular and sleek appearance. The shoulder line at the rear quarter panel is more pronounced and the roofline lower.
Keep in mind that the car looks larger than it actually is due to some of the camouflage paneling, particularly on the front fascia. The heavy camouflage on the front and rear also obscure the headlight and tail light shapes, so no, the lights will not be those round shapes
Expect 4- and 6-cylinder turbocharged petrol engines powering the 428i (or 328i) and the 435i (or 335i) and similar design lines as for the F30 3 series.
The … CONTINUED
The first F32 4 Series / 3 Series coupe prototypes were spotted for the first time ever in October. And although it appeared in heavy camouflage, we've attempted to envision what the production form may look like underneath.
In producing the following images, we started from real life F32 spy photos (attached below) and combined it with some elements from the F30′s styling, along with some educated guesses and imagination sprinkled throughout. We'll be able to better assess the accuracy of the image's detailed styling elements as the F32 prototypes lose some camouflage, but for now these will have to do. *Now updated with rear renders.
The result is a production F32 with very sleek and wide width-to-height proportions, seemingly more so than the current E92 3 series … CONTINUED
The F33 4 series convertible prototype continues testing and we bring you another set of photos from the second spotting. As clearly seen, the F33 4 series will retain its folding hardtop. The car is still heavily masked and it appears that it may feature a bit of a false trunk or heavy camouflage on the trunk lid, making it look more extended or larger than the actual design underneath. This is the reason for the odd-looking gap and space in the transition area to the rear lights.
Aside from the roofline, the trunk, and the roof-to-trunk transition, the F33 appears to share similar lines and size with the F32 coupe (prototype pics pictured below for comparison). As always, with prototypes at this early stage of … CONTINUED

These colorful rolls are terrific on their own, or you can make them heartier by adding an ounce or two of steamed shrimp, baked tofu or smoked salmon. Just don't overload the wrap or you may find them difficult to roll.
This easy dish is both exotically flavored and wonderfully comforting. We suggest making about eight large balls or mounds of rice or 16 smaller one-bite ones. But you can also simply serve the rice in a bowl sprinkled with the spice mix.
Tender grilled rack of lamb pairs perfectly with a smoky grilled fennel mixture brightened with fresh herbs. Make things easy and ask your butcher to french the racks of lamb for you.
Lamb shoulder braised in a simple mixture of chicken broth, lemon zest and juniper berries transforms into a fork-tender roast. The reduced cooking liquid provides a concentrated jus to keep lamb moist and warm and the roasted lemons add a bright note to...
Grapes are an unexpected treat when roasted until their juices are warm and concentrated. Here they add a sweet note to a sourdough bread pudding made rich with cream cheese.
Paiche, a firm and delicious fish from Peru, is native to the Amazonian Basin. Here we've paired thick fillets with a spicy avocado sauce and earthy greens spiked with garlic.
Sugared slices of fresh, candied grapefruit are a show-stopping treat. Easier to prepare than you'd think, these fragrant sweets make inexpensive, elegant gifts. Be sure to choose medium (not extra large) grapefruit for the easiest slicing.
This sweet eggnog drink is tamed with fresh, tart cranberries. Thick and rich, add a generous splash of brandy, bourbon or rum, if you like.
Pineapple braised in its own juice creates a memorable (and super simple) dessert. Star anise and ginger infuse the braising liquid, which reduces to a thick syrup.
Almond milk, creamy almond butter and sweet cherries provide both carbohydrates and protein, everything you need to start your morning right. Add a touch of honey if you like your smoothies on the sweeter side.
Here's a great way to use leftover turkey or chicken and wild rice. Enlist help from the kids for rolling up the leaves.
Complete your Thai Tofu Crunch lunchbox by adding a soy yogurt cup, dried mangos or dried apricots, gingersnaps, and juice or sparkling water.
Plantains are "cooking bananas" popular in tropical areas of Latin America. Traditionally served as a side dish with black beans, this recipe can also be used as a dessert with an exotic flair.
This hearty loaf combines tofu with onions, carrots, garlic and parsley for a great alternative to meatloaf. Top slices of the tofu loaf with vegetarian mushroom gravy or pair with steamed brown rice.
A medley of organic vegetables gives this wholesome stew loads of nutrients and a hearty broth. Chipotle peppers and flavorful Mexican seasonings add spice, while whole green beans and chunks of corn and squash make for a pleasing, colorful presentation.
In this recipe for a satisfying fall and winter stew, the parsley, thyme and bay leaves are tied into a bundle for easy removal from the pot later. Use this same method to flavor stocks and soups, too.
Perfect for chilly evenings, this satisfying one-pot meal marries tender whole wheat noodles with veggies, ground beef and a little melted cheese.

XPath Syntax
An XML Path Language (Xpath) expression uses a path notation, like those used in URLs, for addressing parts of an XML document. The expression is evaluated to yield an object of the node-set, Boolean, number, or string type. For example, the expression book/author
will return a node-set of the <author>
elements contained in the <book>
elements, if such elements are declared in the source XML document. In addition, an XPath expression can have predicates (filter expressions) or function calls. For example, the expression book[@type="Fiction"]
refers to the <book>
elements whose type
attribute is set to "Fiction"
The following table summarizes some of the analogous features between URLs and XPath expressions.
URLs | XPath expressions |
Hierarchy comprised of folders and files in a file system. |
Hierarchy comprised of elements and other nodes in an XML document. |
Files at each level have unique names. URLs always identify a single file. |
Element names at each level might not be unique. XPath expressions identify a set of all the matching elements. |
Evaluated relative to a particular folder, called the "current folder." |
Evaluated relative to a particular node called the "context" for the expression. |
This section covers the syntax of XPath expressions, including the following:

Old FS Version blocks to begin…
Firestorm blocks
Surprisingly there is still a significant number of users on old versions of Firestorm that do not support the current avatar rendering code. This means there are still people in Second Life seeing gray avatars and even some not seeing mesh because they have not updated to a modern version. We have stated many times this year that we would begin applying blocks that will prevent these old versions from accessing Second Life. While we know blocking these versions will be a source of drama and disappointment to some, the reasons we are taking these measures are listed below. Also, before folks start screaming, "You don't care about us!" please realize it is only because we care that we are developing Firestorm for you, and it is because we care that we are enforcing blocks. It is important for everyone to be on current releases that support the virtual world platform, its features and its capabilities.
Why block old versions?
Firstly, we are under pressure by Linden Lab to do this, and we can either do it ourselves or adopt LL's update system which allows them to do it instead. Either we update you or LL does, but either way, folks, updating is quite inevitable. The LL viewer enforces updates, as do most all software applications with a fair grace period. Our grace period will be three versions behind.
Secondly, updating is necessary in order to keep everyone enjoying the same shared experience. Second Life is not immersive if we see things drastically differently from one another. This is going to sound harsh, but in some respects if you are using versions that can only render avatars gray and/or versions without mesh, you might as well be—and perhaps should be—using a text based viewer.
Thirdly, it is hard for us to support. Even though we don't officially support these old versions, it does not stop people from asking for support, to which we then have to respond by nagging them to update.
Starting the week of Nov 18th we will begin initiating blocks to old Firestorm versions listed below. We will cross these versions out on this blog post as the block for each is executed and will begin with the oldest versions prior to 4.4.0. The period between each version block may range from a day to a few days. From that point going forward we will only allow three full releases to work at any given time (beta versions not included).
Versions being blocked
22.214.171.12479 release – 166 users (Blocked Nov 18, 2013)
184.108.40.20636 release – 881 users (Blocked Nov 19, 2013)
126.96.36.19980 hotfix release – 571 users (Blocked Nov 20, 2013)
184.108.40.20682 maintenance release – 606 users (Blocked Nov 20, 2013)
22.214.171.124000 Beta – 4585 users (Blocked Nov 21, 2013)
18.104.22.168744 – 3334 users (Blocked Nov 22, 2013)
18.104.22.168803 – 60 users (Blocked Nov 22, 2013)
188.8.131.52837 – 14,120 users (Blocked Nov 23, 2013)
126.96.36.199155 – 40,451 users (Blocked Nov 24, 2013)
Those who cannot update
We recognize there are some users who cannot update to a current version due to their computer systems not being modern enough. For you there are still a few options… In some cases, people who believe they cannot run later versions of Firestorm are actually experiencing a fixable issue with which support can help; see the support page on this blog or view the troubleshooting guide on our wiki. If the problem does lie with your system, then we would suggest you try another viewer or perhaps switch to a text-based client until you can upgrade your system. There is a list of self-certified viewer alternatives HERE. Contrary to popular belief, it only takes a computer around a US$300 value or so to run Firestorm. We have many users still on Win XP with very poor hardware. Firestorm does not require a "gamers" computer. Just something from the last five to six years will usually do. A decent video card will go a long way and often is all that is needed to dramatically improve performance for you.
Tough Love
Finally, if you are one of the folks being affected by the block, you have my sincere sympathy; however, this is a step that must be taken moving forward into 2014 as it is our responsibility to keep users sharing the same experience. This action should not come as a surprise to you, as we have been stating this would happen for a very long time. At some point we have to draw the line.

Firestorm Public Beta and Win64 Alpha releases!
Firestorm Public Beta 126.96.36.199838 (for all supported Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems)
We had hoped to be able to have all the latest Linden Lab bug fixes and service improvements in our next release, but it looks like it'll be another month or two before that code is ready from LL. But we also wanted to get a release out before 2014 with the latest (released) code from LL and the latest Firestorm development work. This includes new features like Content Import/Export and Collada Export, plus new features from LL like Materials, ribbon particles, etc. Click for the complete "Change Log" and "Known Issues". Unfortunately we only have a small window of time to get a release out before 2014 due to the coming holidays, so we haven't had time to polish it up to our normal quality standards; thus we are calling this a BETA. This means it should be considered a fully supported release, but expect it to have some quirky bugs here and there. Upgrading to it is recommended but not mandatory. You can grab the Public Beta release from our Downloads page. CLEAN INSTALL RECOMMENDED!
Firestorm Public "Experimental Alpha" (Windows 64bit) 126.96.36.199838
This release, regarded as separate from the Beta announced above, is a 64bit Firestorm Viewer for 64bit Windows operating systems. This build has had very little testing, and we expect it to have bugs we don't know about and don't know how to help you with. Thus it is ALPHA and experimental. Also note that not all of our support or developers can run it. Please consider it unsupported and please do not come to support asking questions that have already been answered on THIS PAGE. If you do, they will send you back to that page. This is an experiment and should be considered pioneer territory for those of you who are adventurous-minded! If you are looking for something stable that has been tested and is supported… please use the normal download mentioned above.
Viewers for 64bit Windows have been requested for years, but it's never been done until just recently. We do not know if it will have tangible notable benefits or not, so we throw it out to you in hopes of receiving in return your thoughts, feelings and findings! If you are adventurous, please feel free to try it; after you've been using it for about a week, we'd be interested in your findings. To provide your feedback please email firstname.lastname@example.com; subject should be "x64 feedback". Click the following link to download the 64bit alpha and read information about it like known issues, whether it will work on your computer, etc. http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_firestorm-64-bit
Who should use the Alpha: Adventurous people who have 64bit Windows operating systems.
Who should not use it: Folks without 64bit Windows operating systems and/or folks who prefer something stable, tested and supported. If this is you, please refer back to the Beta described at the top.
Have questions about it? Read: http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_firestorm-64-bit
Where to download it: http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_firestorm-64-bit
We hope to have Linux 64bit Alpha before too long and possibly even Mac 64bit Alpha, so stay tuned.
Firestorm Q&A video and transcript
This past Saturday we held another Question and Answer meeting with our users. Many questions were asked and answered regarding the x64bit and this Public Beta release. We recommend you watch the video and/or read the transcript from Inara Pey's Blog here.
Blocking of all versions below 4.4.0
We have given ample notice already and are now giving final notice. There are still a lot of people on old versions of Firestorm out there, versions that not only cannot see avatar textures correctly anymore but in some cases also don't see mesh. We will be blocking all Firestorm versions below 4.4.0 on the 15th of November. Please update now!
Enjoy the release!
The Phoenix Firestorm Project Team.

You may recall that "Cannibal Holocaust" director Ruggero Deodato is currently working on a new cannibal film titled (appropriately) "Cannibal". Well, it turns out that there's a bit of a hangup. According to Deodato on a recent Italian horror panel, there is one detail in the script that a producer wants him to change, and he refuses to go ahead until he has assurances that there will be no change. Hell, would you expect anything less from the man who filmed a giant turtle being disemboweled on screen? If all gets worked out, shooting on "Cannibal" will start in September.
First concept art for Rob Zombie's "Tyranosaurus Rex". It appears to be every bit as old school exploitation as his first two films. I'm not crazy about it, but the tagline "51% motherfucker, 49% son of a bitch" is pretty amazing.
New "X-Files 2" clip. We're now just over a month away from the July 25th release date
Ray Wise will be returning for "Jeepers Creepers 3". At this point, I'm going to quickly run out of ways to say how uninterested I am in this sequel.
"Hammer" studios in England is full gear back into the genre, on the announcement today that they're starting three new films, "The Wake Wood", "The Resident", and "The Quiet Ones". No real synopses available yet but it certainly signals that these guys are ready to get back in the game after their internet film "Rave From The Grave" debuted a few months back.
Killing yourself is one thing, but drowning yourself in a bucket of water... now that takes determination. Of course, the idea of life in prison for a murder might have been just the right motivation I would need in order to pull it off.
It never ceases to amaze me how big soccer is in the rest of the world. Retired soccer God Pele was robbed recently, and when the robbers recognized him they actually gave him some of his stuff back. Apparently even petty thieves love soccer in the Brazil.
1947: Businessman pilot Kenneth Arnold encounters a formation of nine flying saucers near Mt. Ranier, Washington, exhibiting unusual movements and velocities of 1,700 mph. No explanation is found for this first report of flying saucers in the recent era, but it does earn Mr. Arnold legions of skeptics and an eventual IRS tax audit
In the biggest what the fuck moment of the day, the video for Snoop Dogg's newest single hits is website.
Sure, that sounds pretty tame, Snoop puts out a lot of tracks right?
Usually they're not country songs or performed with Willie Nelson.
The website says specifically not to directly share the video itself, so I'm linking them to snoops site as requested. (Those guys carry guns & shit and don't mess around!)
Here's the first promo pic for the next Rob Zombie film Tyrannosaurus Rex! Goddamn, does this look badass! Am I the only one who'd like a poster of this?
This is Bloody Good Horror's first venture into the Final Girl Film Club. Spoilers abound.
Vaginal "Teeth" and "Black Sheep." Quite the interesting double feature.
