Tool's axman reveals the 10 guitarists that inspire his own far-out six-string style.
Tom Scholz releases Boston's Life, Love & Hope, an album 11 years in the making.
GW exceeds the legal limit with this roundup of the 50 fastest masters of the fretboard.
It's been nearly 25 years since the members of Autograph completed their three-album deal with RCA records and mutually decided to go their own separate ways.
Musicians can still be a little fuzzy when it comes to describing the sound of a fuzz box. Some guitarists will tell you it sounds like a 2,000-pound bee trapped in a sturdy metal box — perhaps with a potentiometer installed somewhere behind the wings. And while many early fuzz guitar tunes and tones did indeed make the most of the original fuzz buzz, fuzz actually has many facets, many sides, many fuzz faces, if you will.
As Guitar World's 30th anniversary celebration continues, 30 of the greatest living guitarists tell us who they would pick as the greatest guitarists of all time.
It's probably not a coincidence that effects such as wah pedals and fuzz boxes started appearing en masse about the same time that recreational drugs like marijuana and LSD became popular with rock musicians.
A Martin acoustic guitar is the beloved instrument of millions of fans and famous players worldwide. Starting with the early days in New York circa 1833, this fabled story comes to life in the long-awaited revision of the seminal Martin History book.
Sterling Winfield got his start in the music industry as a studio apprentice and live sound engineer in Dallas. Those experiences led to his tenure as a staff engineer at Dallas Sound Lab and eventually recording and touring as a bass and guitar tech with rock and metal bands, including Damageplan, Hellyeah and Pantera, with whom he worked as assistant engineer on the Grammy-nominated album Far Beyond Driven.
His progressive metal group is one of the most artistically innovative and critically acclaimed acts in music today. But what Guitar World readers really want to know is…
The sound of the guitar was so untamed, and it lit a fire inside me to approach the guitar like a weapon. The lore behind Let There Be Rock is that Angus and Malcolm Young would face a Marshall against the wall and crank the sucker all the way up. You can tell the amp was turned up unbelievably loud: you can practically feel Angus' fingerprints rubbing against the strings.
OK, maggots, fall in and let the supreme sergeant of shred, Zakk Wylde, show you how to be all you can be with his 100 percent brewtal guitar boot camp!

Rated 4 / 5 stars November 1, 2013
very good game. one of the best in newgrounds, well balanced overally and addictive.
art/graphics 4/5 (althought you are afraid of epilepsy after all these disco glowing colourful lights are passing with lightspeed in front of your eyes)
upgrades 4/5 (due to ridiculous high prices after a point and in fact there could be more middle/high class upgrades, cause they escalate too quickly like starters, starters +, and then super high elite!)
addictiveness 5/5 :P
gameplay 3/5 (it is probably for a bit more but i'll explain. the dizziness of the player after playing a while isnt only due to the genre of the game (or the fancy visuals) but also its controls. they are not very easy to use and every now and then the game bugs and shoots whenever it wants or is hard to strafe properly. other thoughts/possible additions: the sidemissions could have levels with more gold each. kill all the drones mission level 2 for example 120.000 gold while level 1 was 50.000 etc. the bonus weapons should have upgrades too, as in most classic space shooters. there could be permanent and temporary special weapons too instead of only temporary, which you keep until you die or finish a stage lets say, and they are upgradeable by drops but also could be lost if by mistake u get other weapon drop or erased by an anti-drop. also special weapons and upgrades for your orbs and side ships. lastly you could have purchaseable items and not only findable)
very good keep up the good worked and we wait for moar

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars July 11, 2013
start by saying a lot of things happening in this game. Between a shop filled with items for endless customization of your ships, lots of ships to choose from, a huge selection of skills to use, and bonus weapons found while playing, a lot to pay attention to. This does lead into one of the main problems, but start with what I liked, first.
The game looks great. The colorful glowing lights and dark bodies of the ships really give off a cool futuristic tone, and the glowing effects of certain bullets only helps. The backgrounds look pretty good, but could have used a bit more variety. I think there were different types of ships in the background as you progressed, but it just enough. Each level ends up blending in because they look different. Would have loved to see some levels be based on flying over the surface of a planet.
The game does okay in sound. The music sounds good and adds a lot to the atmosphere, but it got a bit repetitive.
The achievement system to unlock the shops is okay, it was a nice move to put in the missions to help get the points for the expensive third shops. not sure if I like the rank 3 missions being scrambled. I think a better idea would have been for the description to give hints (Mega-Insanity: Doing something over and over and expecting the different results). Would be a chance to add humor to this game.
The game play has a lot of potential because of all the options and tools that are put into your hands, and given so much freedom with what you want to do. The variety of bonus weapons and enemies helps keep things fresh for a very long time, and the bosses can be pretty challenging.
a lot going on in combat, avoiding negative items and trying to get positive ones (or just using bonus magnet), avoiding enemy fire (or just reflecting/absorbing it/stopping them from firing) and firing back, using offensive skills to kill mini-bosses and taking distance from enemies that explode on impact, healing yourself and your shield and conserving energy for needed, watching your skill cool downs and keeping certain buffs up, using items and breaking enemy shields and-
a lot of things for a human to pay attention to at once. You need to be pretty clever with both your controls and how each function works. This game gets it halfway right, a nice reward for being able to pay attention to multiple things at once, but it punish you too much if you do it all or if you make a mistake. However, it also gets it halfway wrong.
The shield/armor/energy bars are far off in the corner and easy to see at an instant glance. The skill cool downs/durations are also hard to see at a glance (especially if trying to see several skill cool downs at once). The enemy projectiles can be very hard to see, a combination of your own skills and attacks can cover them up, and some blend in with the background. It can be hard to distinguish turrets from ships in the background sometimes. All of these are little things that prevent the player from really unlocking all the potential this game offers, from getting the information they need quickly in order to react.
suggest somehow putting the armor/shield bars somewhere near the ship, so that you can minimize the number of places you have to look to get important information, and perhaps the energy near the skills. Perhaps a visual effect, your ship gives off a glow that grows fainter as your shield is destroyed. Make it so that enemy attacks cover up your own and be obvious and different so that even while spamming an attack that covers a wide area, you can see all the bullets heading towards you easily.
There are a lot of skills in the shop that have a good description. Guardian of mana, virus spread, dos really explain what they will do. It hurt if certain items were more specific, like how much energy certain skills used or how much damage they did. Heavy missiles? What do you mean, slower? Firing rate or projectile speed? Stun missiles have a chance? the chance? These things are important to know!
The story is completely uninteresting. I thought there might have been a bit of a twist with the hostage, but very little was done with it.
It's a great game, there's just a few things holding it back in terms of game play. It looks and sounds great, but those looks and sounds are repetitive and could use more variety. A story isn't necessary, but it'd be nice to have something decent. Still, the game is fun and there's a lot to do.

An Ode to the first man to walk on the moon and the historic achievement. I modelled a young Neil Armstrong in Zbrush. I aimed to to apply the surface textures from the moon and earth in Cinema4D. I later created a moon scene in C4D. Photoshop was used for colour correction and final touches of digital paint.
I loved the gold coloured reflections given off the visors in the space helmets. They gave a warped but vivid view of the scene, I thought gold was a fitting colour for such an accomplishment.

Urge Congress to Pass the SGR Repeal and Medicare Provider Payment Modernization Act and Provide Stable Medicare Physician PaymentsOn February 6, 2014 the leadership of the House Ways and Means and Energy and Commerce Committees and the Senate Finance Committee released a bi-partisan and bicameral bill to repeal the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) formula that has driven annual reductions in Medicare payment for physician services. Your advocacy is needed to ensure that the legislation can be considered by the full House of Representatives and Senate before the short-term physician fee update expires on April 1, 2014.
Take Action and Tell Congress to Sustain Funding for ResearchThe House and Senate Appropriations Committees will soon begin the process of determining fiscal year (FY) 2015 funding levels for all federal programs, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Last year Congress provided a modest increase for NIH, an important first step that restores some of the funds lost due to sequestration. However, research needs predictable, sustained funding in order to maintain the strength of our scientific enterprise. Your Senators and Representative need to continue to hear from YOU about the impact that unpredictable funding and potential funding cuts will have on your research and the patients you treat and the need for them to recognize the value of biomedical research by investing in the NIH.
Urge Your Senators and Representative to Cosponsor Legislation to Provide Cancer Drug Coverage ParityLegislation has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate that would ensure that patients enrolled in certain federally regulated health plans have access and insurance coverage for all anti-cancer regimens.

Fins of the '50′s – Mopar & Orphans
The fine art of …
The Mopar & Orphans Class
Mopar is a term formed from MOtor PARts to name the automobile parts and service arm of the Chrysler Corporation, first used in the 1920's. Auto enthusiasts adopted it as a common reference to the Chrysler range of autos.
Orphan is a term used to describe an automobile which is no longer in production. For the Salisbury Concours, orphans are joined to the Mopar class simply for the purpose of creating a well-sized class group.
With GM innovating the fin, it wasn't long before other manufacturers saw its success as a design element and followed suit. In 1957, Chrysler took fin design to new extremes. Due to his bold exaggerated fin designs, Virgil Exner, Design Director for Chrysler, is known for his "Forward Look" design on the 1955 through 1961 Chrysler products and his fondness of aesthetic and aerodynamic reasons. With a long hood and short deck, the wedge-like designs of the 300 series and revised 1957 models suddenly brought Chrysler to the forefront of design.
This decade also saw drive-in theaters flourish with drive-in movies increasing in number from just a few hundred to more than 3,000. Another auto-oriented innovation was the advent of the drive-in bank.
Winner was David and Robin Roney #MO 06 - 1957 Chrysler Imperial Crown

Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery
The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is a multiple choice test, administered by the United States Military Entrance Processing Command, used to determine qualification for enlistment in the United States Armed Forces. It is often offered to American high school students when they are in the 10th, 11th and 12th grade, though anyone eligible for enlistment may take it.[1]
Although the test is administered by the military, it is not (and never has been) a requirement that a test-taker with a qualifying score enlist in the armed forces.
The ASVAB was first introduced in 1968 and was adopted by all branches of the military in 1976. In 2002 it underwent a major revision. In 2004, the test's percentile ranking scoring system was re-normalized, to ensure that a score of 50% really did represent doing better than exactly 50% of test-takers.
The ASVAB currently contains 9 sections. The duration of each test varies from as low as ten minutes up to 36 minutes for Arithmetic Reasoning; the entire ASVAB is three hours long.[2][3]
- General Science (GS) - 25 questions in 11 minutes
- Arithmetic Reasoning (AR) - 30 questions in 36 minutes
- Word Knowledge (WK) - 35 questions in 11 minutes
- Paragraph Comprehension (PC) - 15 questions in 13 minutes
- Mathematics Knowledge (MK) - 25 questions in 24 minutes
- Electronics Information (EI) - 20 questions in 9 minutes
- Automotive and Shop Information (AS) - 25 questions in 11 minutes
- Mechanical Comprehension (MC) - 25 questions in 19 minutes
- Assembling Objects (AO)
- Verbal Expression (VE)= (WK)+(PC)
Navy applicants also complete a Coding Speed (CS) test.
- "Numerical Operations" (NO)
- "Space Perception" (SP)
- "Tool Knowledge" (TK)
- "General Information" (GI)
- "Attention to Detail" (AD)
Standards for enlistment[edit]
AFQT required minimum scores for people with a high school diploma as of December 2012 (unless otherwise noted) are as follows:
Tier I | Tier II | |
Branch | ≥ HS Diploma | = GED |
Army | 31 | 50 |
Navy | 35 | 50 |
Air Force | 40 | 65 |
Marines | 32 | 50 |
Coast Guard | 45 | 50 with 15 college credits |
*Army National Guard | 31 | 50 |
*Air National Guard | 35 | 50 |
GED holders who earn 15 college credits 100 level or greater are considered equivalent with those holding high school diplomas. This would result in only needing the minimum score to enlist. Eligibility is not determined by score alone. Certain recruiting goal practices may require an applicant to achieve a higher score than the required minimum AFQT score in order to be considered for enlistment. Note: rules and regulations change on a daily basis; call your local recruiting center for up to date qualification information.[4][5]
Armed Forces Qualification Test[edit]
An Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT) score is used to determine basic qualification for enlistment.
AFQT Scores are divided into the following categories:[6]
- Category I: 93–100
- Category II: 65–92
- Category III A: 50–64
- Category IV B: 31–49
- Category V A: 21–30
- Category VI B: 16–20
- Category VII C: 10–15
- Category VIII: 0–9
The formula for computing an AFQT score is: AR + MK + (2 x VE) where VE = PC + WK.
The VE (verbal) score is determined by adding the raw scores from the PC and WK tests (i.e., how many questions the aspiring recruit got right on each) and using a table to get the VE score from that combined PC and WK raw score.
AFQT scores are not raw scores, but rather percentile scores indicating how each examinee performed compared with all other examinees. Thus, someone who receives an AFQT of 55 scored better than 55 percent of all other examinees. Maximum possible score is 99 as a person can do better than 99 percent of those who took the test, but he cannot do better than himself, so the highest percentile is 99.
Law prohibits applicants in Category V from enlisting.[citation needed] In addition, there are constraints placed on Category IV recruits; recruits in Category IV must be high school diploma graduates but cannot be denied enlistment solely on this criteria if the recruit is needed to satisfy established strength requirements. Furthermore, the law constrains the percentage of accessions who can fall in Category IV (currently, the limit is 20% of all persons originally enlisted in a given armed force in a given fiscal year).[7]
Composite scores[edit]
In addition to the ASVAB's AFQT, each branch has military occupational specialty, or MOS, scores. Combinations of scores from the nine tests are used to determine qualification for a MOS. These combinations are called "aptitude area scores", "composite scores", or "line scores". Each of the five armed services has its own aptitude area scores and sets its own minimum composite scores for each MOS.

What Does the AFQT Measure?[edit]
The AFQT has been used in non-military settings as a proxy measure of intelligence, for example, Herrnstein & Murray's Bell curve report. Because of the test's significance both inside and outside military settings, it is important to examine what the test measures, i.e. to evaluate the construct validity of the AFQT. Kaufman's (2010) review stated that David Marks (2010) scanned the literature for datasets containing test estimates for populations or groups taking both the AFQT and tests of literacy. One study on nine groups of soldiers differing in job and reading ability found a correlation of .96 between the AFQT and reading achievement (Sticht, Caylor, Kern, & Fox, 1972). Another study showed significant improvements among Black and Hispanic populations in their AFQT scores between 1980 and 1992 while Whites only showed a slight decrement (Kilburn, Hanser, & Klerman, 1998). Another study obtained reading scores for 17-year olds for those same ethnic groups and dates (Campbell et al., 2000) and found a correlation of .997 between reading scores and AFQT scores. This nearly perfect correlation was based on six pairs of data points from six independent population samples evaluated by two separate groups of investigators. Kaufman quotes Marks' conclusion, "On the basis of the studies summarized here, there can be little doubt that the Armed Forces Qualifications Test is a measure of literacy."

From Tyler Perry comes a colorful film of great magnitude, where different women find common ground.Like a rainbow, each woman provides a different hue and perspective.Faced with the greater spectrum, they are gifted hope and inspiration.
In 1974, Ntozake Shange's choreopoem "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf" made its stage debut, combining poetry, dance and music, and most significantly, placing the black female experience center stage. In lyrical, honest, angry, funny and tender language, Shange's "colored girls" evoked the feelings woven into the fabric of black female life in America. Within two years, the play became a Broadway sensation, won an Obie and Tony Award, and would eventually be produced in regional theaters throughout the country. Now, thirty six years later, filmmaker Tyler Perry adapts this landmark work for the big screen, integrating the vivid language of Shange's poems into a contemporary narrative that explores what it means to be a woman of color - and a woman of any color - in this world. FOR COLORED GIRLS weaves together the stories of nine different women – Joanna, Tangie, Crystal, Gilda, Kelly, Juanita, Yasmine, Nyla and Alice – as they move into and out of one another's existences; some are well known to one another, others are as yet strangers. Crises, heartbreaks and crimes will ultimately bring these nine women fully into the same orbit where they will find commonality and understanding. Each will speak her truth as never before. And each will know that she is complete as a human being, glorious and divine in all her colors.
As Andy prepares for college, Woody, Buzz, Jessie and the rest of Andy's faithful toys wonder what will become of them. But, when a mix-up lands them at Sunnyside Daycare, they meet a host of new toys and discover a new adventure is just beginning!

The 86th Academy Awards is less than a week away and the night is proving to be more star-studded than ever.
On Monday, producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron announced the complete slate of stars who will be on stage to present alongside the previously announced Daniel Day-Lewis, Jennifer Lawrence, Christoph Waltz and Anne Hathaway -- last year's acting winners.
"It's a room full of excitement. It's a room full of sweat," recalls Ellen Burstyn, who won her Oscar in 1975 for Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore. "It's your bar mitzvah times a million," says director-writer Jason Reitman, a four-time nominee (Up in the Air, Juno) who remembers getting over his loss with a post-show visit to In-N-Out Burger.

Vicent Orange reaches for Thomas' committee seat
(AP, ABC7) - At-large councilmember Vincent Orange made a bid for the chairmanship of the committee on economic development Wednesday evening.
Harry Thomas led the committee until earlier Wednesday, when he stepped down from the chairman's post because of allegations he misused funds. The duties of the committee were transferred to the committee of the whole by Council Chairman Kwame Brown at Thomas' request, a move that Orange said he "cannot accept."
"If the desire is truly to ensure that the economic development agenda moves forward in an efficient and expeditious manner, there is no better person available to lead this Committee than me," Vincent Orange, At Large Councilmember, said. He pointed out that he had not been assigned to any committees in his current term.
"It is vitally important at this time that we not only have a leader for this Committee, but that the economic development within the District does not lose momentum," Orange stated.
Thomas said he resigned to avoid disrupting the committee's work by the investigation he faces.
"This is not an admission of guilt," he told ABC7's Mark Segraves during a phone interview. "I do not want all the good work of the committee to create jobs and opportunity to be mired in my personal matter," Thomas said.
Thomas said, "this decision was on my shoulders."
On Wednesday, D.C. Council Chairman Kwame Brown said he planned to transfer all economic development matters to the Committee of the Whole temporarily until after the Council's summer recess. "I will make further suggested changes at that time. Going forward, I want to ensure that the economic development agenda moves forward in an efficient and expeditious manner," Brown said.
Thomas (D-Ward 5) is accused in a lawsuit of misusing more than $300,000 in city money.
In an interview with NewsChannel 8's Bruce DePuyt, Thomas said he recommended Brown move economic development to the full Council out of concern for "the integrity of the institution." He said there are "important projects" before the committee that should be free to move forward without the "added scrutiny" of the charges he's facing.
Brown said he would discuss the Thomas allegations with his Council colleagues after a legislative meeting Tuesday before announcing his plans.
The city Attorney General filed the suit against Thomas on Monday. It alleges the council member diverted some $300,000 in public funds for personal use. The AG maintains Thomas used money intended for the Team Thomas baseball program to buy an expensive SUV and to travel.
Brown said in a statement late Monday that he was "deeply disheartened" by the civil complaint against Thomas.
The chairman of the D.C. Republican Committee called on Thomas to step down Wednesday.
"Anything short of resigning from the DC Council is not acceptable. Mr. Thomas has lost the public's trust and needs to step down immediately," stated Bob Kabel, Chairman of the DC Republican Committee.
Thomas has denied any wrongdoing. The D.C. Attorney General's Office, which filed the lawsuit, is seeking more than $1 million in damages. Thomas could also face criminal charges.

Star Wars Day
Star Wars Day | |
Type | Fandom/cultural |
Significance | Honoring Star Wars |
Date | May 4 (annually) May 25, 2007 |
Star Wars Day may refer to one of two dates or events honoring or involving the Star Wars saga.[1]
May 4[edit]
May 4 is considered a holiday by Star Wars fans to celebrate Star Wars culture, books and honor the films.[2] It is called Star Wars Day because the phrase "May the Force be with you" is a famous quote often spoken in the Star Wars films, fans commonly say "May the fourth be with you" on this day. Current day Star Wars fans were not the first to introduce the line "May the fourth be with you": when Margaret Thatcher took office as Britain's first female Prime Minister on May 4, 1979, her party placed an advertisement in The London Evening News that said "May the Fourth Be with You, Maggie. Congratulations."[3] This reading of the line has also been recorded in the UK Parliament's Hansard.[4]
In a 2005 interview on German news TV channel N24, Star Wars creator George Lucas was asked to say the famous sentence "May the Force be with you." The interpreter simultaneously interpreted the sentence into German as Am 4. Mai sind wir bei Ihnen ("On May 4 we are with you."). This was captured by TV total and aired on May 18, 2005.[5][6]
In 2011, the first organized celebration of Star Wars Day took place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada at the Toronto Underground Cinema. Produced by Sean Ward and Alice Quinn, festivities included an Original Trilogy Trivia Game Show; a costume contest with celebrity judges; and the web's best tribute films, mash-ups, parodies, and remixes on the big screen. The second annual edition took place on Friday, May 4, 2012.[7]
Honoring the day, the humanoid robot Nao created a unique greeting to all Star Wars fans.[8]
In his 2012 acceptance speech, after winning a second term in office, London mayor Boris Johnson quoted the phrase "and May the Fourth be with you" as his signing off comment.[9]
In 2013, Disney's Hollywood Studios celebrated the holiday with several Star Wars events and festivities.[10]
May 25[edit]
The Los Angeles City Council declared[11] May 25, 2007, as Star Wars Day, in honor of the 1977 release date of Star Wars. A separate initiative for observing Geek Pride Day on May 25 is based on the Star Wars connection along with ties to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (see Towel Day) and Discworld.

How to work with Millennials
The Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA) has released a report on Millennials - the generation typically born from the early 1980s to the early 2002s.
Millennials, says the report, are more concerned with technology and advanced ways to communicate than owning a car. Consequently, businesses are having to adjust to the already 40 million Millennials in the workforce who have their own sets of views and preferred work environment.
The report, written by Millennials who have been working in the aftermarket, feature opinions, experiences and strategies to create five steps to make life easier for a shop and its Millennials.

Hey, I'm Higgins and I'm going to be posting updates about our Fantasy Razzball leagues. If you are not familiar with Fantasy Razzball, it is a league format where us truly masochistic fantasy baseballers try to build the worst fantasy baseball team possible.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Justin Germano
As a rule of thumb, I figure the best way to fully concentrate on writing these articles is to put on a god-awful dance movie in the background. Unless you secretly like those movies and then I have to ask, what are you doing here? Try it sometimes, it is the best way to become both smarter and less distracted. I don't have to give specifics, but anything that features dance and horrible soundtracks will suffice. Ok, back to the lecture at hand, this is most certainly a 2 start thang. I am personally liking the lower end options this week, lots of guys that are most likely available in most leagues of moderate size, and the match-ups seem just ripe for the fantasy pickings. So do like Indiana Jones and choose, but choose wisely. Because not all good things are shiny and expected.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Felix Hernandez joined Philip Humber and Matt Cain in the Perfect Game club this year, shutting down the Rays in Seattle yesterday. If only it was against the Yankees and Ichiro (hitting 9th) was the last hitter and Ichiro bunted. Oh, the Internet drama!

Please, blog, may I have some more?Here's what I said last November about Theo Epstein, "A new GM can toss out the used-up-and-spit-out pieces he inherits, right? It's like when a new boss comes into a flailing company and all the employees start quaking in their boots that they're gonna get fired because they're unproductive.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

The Court and Marriage II: The Pretenses of Judicial RestraintHADLEY ARKESIn his book What I Saw in America, G.K. Chesterton recounted his experience in seeing Broadway at night in New York.The same thing could have been said by those of us who were there in the courtroom of the Supreme Court this week, as the decisions on marriage were read from the bench. The dignity of the place, the rules of civility and decorum, were so evidently in the air, and so firmly respected. And yet the reasoning in the cases offered a parody of the principles of law that this building was designed to frame and enhance. In the aftermath of the decisions this week, I wrote in this space on one of the decisions, U.S. v. Windsor, where the Court struck down Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (1996). In Section 3 the Congress had stipulated that every reference to marriage in the federal code would refer only to the legal union of a man and a woman. Justice Kennedy wrote for the Court in striking down a law that, he claimed, demeaned and "humiliated" gays and lesbians by implicitly refusing to accord, to their relations, the dignity of a marital union. Kennedy affected to offer a judgment limited in its reach: he would not reach Section 2 of the Act, which sought to shore up the authority of a State to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages coming in from other States. But if it were judged to be morally wrong, unjustified, to bar gay and lesbian couples from marriage, the same understanding would have to spill over to the cases sure to arise in challenging Section 2. Surely it had to be quite as wrong then for a State to cast an adverse moral judgment and refuse to recognize the legitimacy of homosexual unions. In the companion case of Hollingsworth v. Perry, the majority affected there too that it was acting with the refined sense of limitation, offering a virtual model of judicial restraint. For the Court was deciding here not to decide. The case involved the famous Proposition 8 in California. The voters of California brought forth a referendum to amend their constitution to affirm marriage solely as the union of a man and woman. But of course that measure (Proposition 8) was challenged in a federal court, and a friendly judge, openly gay, struck down that amendment to the constitution.
The Supreme Court of California agreed that, when the Executive refused, the proponents would have standing to defend the measure they had helped to frame and pass. For otherwise, the process of "initiative and referendum" would become a nullity.
But that is essentially what has happened now as the Supreme Court refused to accept the standing of the proponents to defend their own measure. Chief Justice Roberts insisted that the federal courts had to be governed by their own, distinct rules, and those rules sought to limit the power of the courts by confining them to a "case in controversy." The litigants would have to show a direct material and "personal" stake in the outcome. The proponents of Proposition 8 had invested themselves deeply in the cause with the concern of "citizens," but they would not be deprived of anything in their own lives if the Court failed to sustain their policy. There was now a new asymmetry: The governor of any State now could overturn a part of his own constitution — or indeed any part of the laws of his State — by refusing to defend them if they were successfully challenged in a federal court. All it requires now is a gay or lesbian couple to come forward to challenge the constitution in a State in which the constitution does not accept same-sex marriage. If the State now has a liberal governor who refuses to defend that part of the constitution, that will be enough to make it into a nullity. The Supreme Court decided that the Windsor case then was not "justiciable." All decisions would be swept away, leaving possibly only that first decision in the District Court. In that case, the judgment would apply only to the litigants in the case, with no authority binding any other court. But Governor Brown made it known right away that he would direct registrars to accept same-sex marriages all over the State, and couples have already come forward to marry. Beyond the tragedies of this week, then, there is a further lesson for our friends doing conservative jurisprudence. They wish to believe that the judges take seriously the limits in positive law — that Kennedy is striking down only Section 3, not Section 2; that Roberts is leaving the issue to be contested in the separate States. But they do not see that the moral judgment at the core of these decisions has a dynamic of its own, which will sweep past all of these barriers of the positive law. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Hadley Arkes.

NutriBiotic Skin Serum -- 1 fl oz
I have extremely oily skin. I have used this product for 5 months (day and night and about to reorder for the first time). I have noticed such an amazing difference in the tone, texture, and feel of my skin (with no breakouts). I have used EXTREMELY expensive creams that typically smell like fish. This is inexpensive and it works and bonus it doesn't reek of fish! And agian for my oily girlfriends DID NOT increase my oilines (obviously it doesn't decrease it either).
February 2, 2010
perfect for sun aged skin
This product is excellent for any age, but it is great
for fifty plus skin and skin that has had a lot of sun.
It is not oily but goes on smooth and never leaves your face and neck dry or feeling rough. I have seen a difference in my skin in just the first time. I use it morning and night. Make up goes on good over it and it seems to stay on the whole day. It is great! I was paying a whole lot more at a health food store.

Alonso optimistic about title chances
Ferrari driver thinks he still has a very good chance of winning the world championship despite finishing second behind Sebastian Vettel at the Indian Grand Prix.
By Shrikant Shankar at BIC
Fernando Alonso climbed three places from fifth on the grid to finish second at the Buddh International Circuit on October 28. But it was Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull who won his second consecutive Indian Grand Prix.
Vettel, who is the defending two-time world champion, has now won four races in-a-row. By doing so the German driver extended his lead over Alonso to 13 points with only three races to go. But the Ferrari ace is not accepting the fact that his chances to win a third driver's title has diminished.
On being asked whether he thinks he can still win the title, he said: "Of course we can win the title! We are only 13 points behind and we have 75 points up for grabs with three races to go."
The Spaniard passed both the McLarens quite early in the race as he made his way up the field. He then managed to get ahead of Mark Webber of Red Bull into second position in lap 48 and stayed there till the end. The Australian was facing problems with KERS.
Alonso said it was a good race for him as qualifying did not work out how he wanted. "It is definitely a good race. Qualifying was not that very good for us, but we always knew we were better on the Sunday (race)."
"I am proud of my wins in Malaysia and Valencia, and although I did not win in India, this was one of the best races I have driven this season. I pushed right from the start of the race to the finish."
Alonso feels that anything can happen in the next few races. "You saw what happened to Mark with his KERS today (Sunday). It can happen to anyone in the next few races. There are so many things which can go either way," he added.
"We just have to be more competitive in the next race in Abu Dhabi. We have to get new parts and if we can win the race then anything can happen. I also feel that in the last race in Brazil we will have our best chance to win. So, I am optimistic of our chances" he concluded.

Motorola Mobility acquired small home automation company 4Home in late 2010. Last year at CES, Motorola showcased the same technology that 4Home, developer of a nimble home automation platform, has demonstrated for years.
There was little integration with the rest of the Motorola ecosystem.
That is changing at CES 2012 where Motorola is showing some tight integration between 4Home and other Motorola solutions.
For example, take Motorola's new "Smart Actions" technology, now available on select phones like the Droid Razr. Smart Actions enable users to program events based on standard technologies embedded in the phone, such as WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS. Want the phone to switch to vibrate when you get to the office? There's a Smart Action for that.
Take that idea and apply it to home automation. "If you go outside the fence [judging by GPS coordinates], then the house knows you're leaving," says Jim Hunter, 4Home founder. "If you're the last one to leave the house, maybe it sets the "away" scene. And then if it picks up a WiFi signal, boom, you're in the house."
The prospects become particularly interesting with Bluetooth, says Hunter. Assuming your phone is holstered, "you can tell which devices are in range." The Bluetooth-enabled music system, for example, would start playing your favorite Internet radio station.
And with Motorola's new docking options, simply placing your Smart Action-enabled mobile device in a dock can trigger an automation event. "If you dock it to the TV," suggests Hunter, "it might trigger the TV mode and adjust the lights for a movie."
In addition, the 4Home gang is working with the rest of Motorola to match the 4Home interface with the rest of the Motorola ecosystem, including audio and video apps embodied in the new DreamGallery UI. Hunter describes DreamGallery as "software for navigating new media - from social to content, and applications like 4Home – in a consistent UI [user interface] across multiple devices."
At CES 2012, Motorola is showing its first official 4Home gateway called - wait for it - Motorola 4Home Connected Gateway.
Better Integration with Honeywell Security
In other Motorola 4Home news, the company is demonstrating behind closed doors tighter integration with Honeywell security systems, following a partnership made in 2011.
Even so, 4Home partner Verizon, which launched its 4Home-based Home Monitoring & Control (HMC) solution in 2011, has "no commitment to roll out security," says Karen Handy, group manager of Verizon's HMC strategy.
Handy says about 90 percent of HMC installations to date have been do-it-yourself, with the rest of the systems being installed by integrators in the Installernet network.

Don't Sweat the Small Stuff
In a perfect world, every day would be sunny, we'd never gain weight and our checkbooks would always balance. But instead, stuff happens -- and things don't always go according to plan. Does that doom you to a day of misery? It doesn't have to, says Jeffrey Rossman, Ph.D., director of Life Management at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, Mass., and author of The Mind-Body Mood Solution (Rodale, 2010). While we might not be able to change the situation, what we can do is change the way we react to it, he says. And that's good, because a bad mood not only makes you feel tired and drained; it's bad for your health and could even affect how long you live.
We'll show you how to turn everyday gripes and annoyances into positives so you can maintain your sunny outlook all day long.
More from Prevention: The Surprising Health Benefits of Sadness
1. Gripe: You hit your alarm's snooze button and overslept.
What to do right now: Don't rush around at warp speed. Take your time, especially when you're in a hurry, says Gretchen Rubin, author of the New York Times bestselling book The Happiness Project (Harper Collins, 2009). This may sound counterintuitive, but it works: "When you're frantic, that's the time you'll forget your wallet, or get into a fight," Rubin says. Instead, try to behave the way you wish you felt -- calm, collected, and in control. Focusing on those feelings will soon make them a reality.
While you're calmly going about your routine, pull open your curtains: Exposure to bright light gears up your mood-enhancing serotonin. And -- for some extra mood-boosting insurance -- put the alarm on the other side of the room so you won't be tempted to use the snooze function tomorrow.

2. Gripe: You're stuck in traffic -- and nowhere near your office.
What to do right now: While recent research has established that long commutes are associated with high blood pressure, higher weight, and lower fitness levels, stewing over traffic can also increase your blood pressure and thus interfere with your health. So, while it may seem cheesy, smile, even if you don't feel like it. The effect is not only contagious, but the actual act of smiling and feeling your cheeks lift upward can fool you into feeling happy. Then pull over, call your office to let them know you'll be late, and turn on your favorite tunes to create a more relaxing atmosphere as you merge back into traffic. Studies show that people who listen to music in the car have lower respiration rates than those who don't turn on the tunes.

text: Penguin seems to only work every couples of months. Any type of link still works and in sheer numbers, they just let the domain fall and do a new one and its game on again. I think Penguin has yet to factor in type of link, link growth rate etc and is just focused on mainly anchor text levels.
