Bash function copies a file prefixed with a version number to a subdirectory
Sometimes you might need to have two copies of data that is in tar. You might unpack, and then copy, but if IO is slow, you might lower it by automatically writing it twice (or more times)
This creates a bash function `take` that you can call with the name of the directory as the first parameter. Add the function to ~/.bashrc to have it available anytime.
Take a folder full of files and split it into smaller folders containing a maximum number of files. In this case, 100 files per directory.
find creates the list of files
xargs breaks up the list into groups of 100
for each group, create a directory and copy in the files
Note: This command won't work if there is whitespace in the filenames (but then again, neither do the alternative commands :-)
If you have a folder with thousand of files and want to have many folder with only 100 file per folder, run this.
It will create 0/,1/ etc and put 100 file inside each one.
But find will return true even if it don't find anything ...
This Anti-TarBomb function makes it easy to unpack a .tar.gz without worrying about the possibility that it will "explode" in your current directory. I've usually always created a temporary folder in which I extracted the tarball first, but I got tired of having to reorganize the files afterwards. Just add this function to your .zshrc / .bashrc and use it like this;
atb arch1.tar.gz
and it will create a folder for the extracted files, if they aren't already in a single folder.
This only works for .tar.gz, but it's very easy to edit the function to suit your needs, if you want to extract .tgz, .tar.bz2 or just .tar.
More info about tarbombs at http://www.linfo.org/tarbomb.html
Tested in zsh and bash.
UPDATE: This function works for .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tgz, .tbz and .tar in zsh (not working in bash):
atb() { l=$(tar tf $1); if [ $(echo "$l" | wc -l) -eq $(echo "$l" | grep $(echo "$l" | head -n1) | wc -l) ]; then tar xf $1; else mkdir ${1%.t(ar.gz||ar.bz2||gz||bz||ar)} && tar xf $1 -C ${1%.t(ar.gz||ar.bz2||gz||bz||ar)}; fi ;}
UPDATE2: From the comments; bepaald came with a variant that works for .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tgz, .tbz and .tar in bash:
atb() {shopt -s extglob ; l=$(tar tf $1); if [ $(echo "$l" | wc -l) -eq $(echo "$l" | grep $(echo "$l" | head -n1) | wc -l) ]; then tar xf $1; else mkdir ${1%.t@(ar.gz|ar.bz2|gz|bz|ar)} && tar xf $1 -C ${1%.t@(ar.gz|ar.bz2|gz|bz|ar)}; fi ; shopt -u extglob}
My variation on an audio burning command from commandlinefu - this one doesn't crap out if you want to burn a CD in a directory whose permissions don't allow it, and instead rips everything to /tmp. If you mount your music partition like I do using Samba, you probably don't have write permission inside that file system in order to create the temporary directory other audio burning commands here use. Not a bad idea to add cdrom to your groups, and /bin/eject with visudo.
This function does a batch edition of all OOO3 Writer files in current directory. It uses sed to search a FOO pattern into body text of each file, then replace it to foo pattern (only the first match) . I did it because I've some hundreds of OOO3 Writer files where I did need to edit one word in each ones and open up each file in OOO3 gui wasn't an option. Usage: bsro3 FOO foo
Creates a directory named with the current date, in the format YYYYMMDD. If you give it a directory name as an argument, it will create the new directory inside the specified directory.
This is an alternative to command #1993.
_ expands to the last argument of the last command that was executed
combines mkdir and cd
added quotes around $_, thanx to flatcap!
In other way of xargs, only with find -exec
Today I needed to choose an icon for an app. My simpler way: put all of /usr/share/icons in myicons folder and brows'em with nautilus. Then rm -r 'ed the entire dir.
Bulk downloads the comic strip JPG files for the adult cartoon Savitabhabhi, storing each set in it's own folder. Requires manual removal of "non-image" files that maybe created because each series may differ in length. The command can be easily adapted for UNIX flavours. You need to have cURL in your path.

Hi there Blind Dog,
We have been doin a little fishin but work has kept me some buisy.
The Smallmouth have been very friendly but the Walleye seem to have fallen of the face of the earth here. We have picked up some nice Crappie this year.
We did not get out this weekend because of the heat, in the hundreds here.
I understand the fire started about 6 miles West of my place and headed south.
We could see the glow from the front porch the other night.
I guess some kids were out playing and crashed there rig is what started it.
Any fire in my area would be hard pressed to get very big.
I am surrounded by Columbia river water with all the irrigation.

Drought damage takes toll on trees in MF parksSeptember 17, 2012, 9:00 pm by Adam Troxtell
Despite a welcomed weekend rain, the hot, dry summer has already taken its toll on hundreds of trees in Marble Falls city parks. Marble Falls Parks and Recreation Director Robert Moss said fallen limbs and dead trees have kept staff busy for days. The drought sapped some trees completely dry. "Ive been with city parks for 10 years, and Ive never seen anything like this, Lewis Fincher, parks supervisor, said. "Some of these trees will look completely healthy, and then they just split right down the middle. Fincher said Parks and Rec staff are still taking an inventory of dead trees, meaning the number could rise. Staff will take them down once the trees lose their leaves in winter. Sometimes trees will not appear dead, but limbs will still fall off them at any time. "If we know something is dead or hazardous, well go in and take it down, Fincher said. "But, you cant really plan on it. You could walk by a tree, then 15 minutes later a limb will just fall right off. Reader CommentsSo let me get this correct. MF has a Couple of lakes with water in them. But the city P & R folks cannot water them because? Hey, does the city have a water tanker truck? Maybe once a month or so they could get a couple of truck loads of water from the lakes and do a drive by watering? A heck of a lot cheaper than replacing the trees now? What is going on here P & R, why didn't you think of something like this? |

I loved the shampoo, conditioner and spray. The scent is just what I want. I would like to be able to buy it online. How can I do that?
I love this conditioner but have ended up with more of it on my shower floor than in my hair. I have never had a conditioner in a jar like this and to be honest it's enough to make me not want to buy the product which is too bad since the whole line is g
I love this deep conditioner! Conditioners usually leave my hair with that greasy feeling that you need to keep rinsing your hair over & over. This deep conditioner is thick & luxurious without the greasy heaviness. Absolutely fabulous!!!
I have used the sea spray on my hair and LOVE IT! It isn't sticky and hard to brush through like most products out there. It also has this perfect light ocean scent that make you fall in love every time you turn your head. I do like using this a little be
Pros: Leaves my hair fresh a clean feeling. No greasy residue. It leaves my hair smooth and soft.
Cons: The packaging.
Its actually on my head right now. Its one of those deep conditioners that the longer you leave it on, the more it tingles and soothes the scalp. I absolutely love the smell and the feeling after I was it out. The jar is a little much if they changed the
This product gives the perfect amount of moisture for my thin straight hair without weighing it down. I absolutely love it. The combination of all the products in the Nature's Rescue line have worked wonders for my hair.
This is a great conditioner, but don't worry if you don't see the results immediately. It took me about 2 weeks to see a dramatic difference, but after it kicked in all I can say is WOW! Most conditioners leave a build up on my fine hair. It's nice tha
Love it awsome product
Love the deep conditioner--my hair has never been so shiny and manageable! Absolutely HATE the container! Too hard to keep up with both lid and container in shower and it's impossible to get the right amount of product out without dripping and spilling. Will stop using this product until a new design is offered. Too expensive to waste! 5 stars for product, only 1 star for container.

Mention swine flu in a political context, and all I can think about is the troubles it presented the Gerald Ford Administration in 1976. Now swine flu has landed in the lap of President Obama.
In a special Sunday briefing at the White House, federal officials detailed an extensive set of actions dealing with a possible swine flu outbreak, and downplayed any threat to the President or his staff after a recent trip to Mexico, home to the outbreak.
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said the President's health was "never in any danger" after the Mexico trip, and that no staff members who had been on that trip had shown any hints of illness.
As of Sunday afternoon, there were 20 confirmed cases of swine flu in the United States, in New York, California, Texas, Kansas and Ohio.
Officials acknowledged the geographically odd nature of those five, which led acting Centers for Disease Control chief Dr. Richard Besser to warn that more cases are likely.
"The good news is that all of the individuals who have been identified as cases have recovered," said Besser, who didn't have a ready explanation for why the flu had killed people in Mexico, but not in the U.S.
"We've ramped up our surveillance around the country to try and understand better what is the scope, what is the magnitude of this outbreak around the country," Besser told reporters.
Since President Obama visited Mexico for two days earlier this month, there have obviously been questions about his own health, but officials said nothing is amiss.
The President's health was "never in any danger" according to officials, who were forced to acknowledge that Mr. Obama was out playing golf on an unusually hot Sunday in April while the briefing was ongoing.

Atazanavir (pronunciation: /ˌæ.tə.ˈzæ.nə.vɪər/, A-tə-ZA-nə-vir),[1] marketed under the trade name Reyataz by Bristol Myers, (formerly known as BMS-232632) is an antiretroviral drug of the protease inhibitor (PI) class. Like other antiretrovirals, it is used to treat infection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Atazanavir is distinguished from other PIs in that it can be given once-daily (rather than requiring multiple doses per day) and has lesser effects on the patient's lipid profile (the amounts of cholesterol and other fatty substances in the blood). Like other protease inhibitors, it is used only in combination with other HIV medications.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved atazanavir on June 20, 2003. Atazanavir is the first PI approved for once-daily dosing, and also appears to be less likely to cause lipodystrophy and elevated cholesterol as side effects. It may also not be cross-resistant with other PIs. When boosted with ritonavir it is equivalent in potency to lopinavir for use in salvage therapy in patients with a degree of drug resistance, although boosting with ritonavir reduces the metabolic advantages of atazanavir.
On October 20, 2006, the FDA approved a new formulation of atazanavir (300 mg capsules) to be taken as part of combination drug therapy.[2] This formulation should reduce pill burden, as one 300 mg capsule may replace two 150 mg capsules.
Newer research has been investigating the potential anticancer effects of atazanavir. For example, laboratory studies have found that this drug can inhibit the growth of brain tumor cells in culture.[3]
Therapeutic efficacy[edit]
The efficacy of atazanavir has been assessed in a number of well designed trials in ART-naive and ART-experienced adults.[4]
Adverse effects[edit]
Bilirubin levels in the blood are normally asymptomatically raised with atazanavir. A single case of torsades de pointes attributable to atazanavir therapy has been described.[5] Atazanavir has less effect on glucose levels than ritonavir.
In April 2009, the US FDA issued a warning: atazanavir should not be used with proton-pump inhibitors, such as omeprazole (Prilosec), esomeprazole (Nexium), or rabeprazole (Aciphex). According to the FDA, "A 76% reduction in atazanavir area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) and a 78% reduction in atazanavir trough plasma concentration (Cmin) were observed when Reyataz/ritonavir [another protease inhibitor, often prescribed with azatanavir] 300/100 mg was coadministered with omeprazole 40 mg."[6] In other words, proton pump inhibitors reduce the absorption and effects of atazanavir due to their effect in decreasing stomach acidity.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Despite complaints about the Obama administration's "war on coal," employment in the Appalachian mining industry is at a 14-year high, according to new government data and congressional testimony.
Congressional allies of the coal industry this week intensified their attack on the administration, with three hearings to collect testimony critical of water protection rules and a proposed effort to streamline the federal Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement.
Nationwide, though, the total number of coal jobs is at its highest level since 1996, with 90,354 jobs in 2011, according to federal Mine Safety and Health Administration data.
In Appalachia, the 59,059 jobs reported were the most since 1997, according to the MSHA data. In West Virginia, coal employment reached its highest level since 1992, with 23,353 jobs, the data shows.
Matt Wasson, director of programs for the group Appalachian Voices, said his review of the MSHA data shows the number of coal jobs in the region has increased by 10 percent since the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency began a crackdown on mountaintop-removal mining in June 2009.
"In other words, the idea of a 'permitorium' on coal mine permitting that House Republicans are pushing out is completely and demonstrably false," Wasson said Friday. "The hysterical reaction of coal companies to any and all regulations to protect the safety of workers and communities near their mines is about profits, not jobs."
This week, House Republicans held two hearings aimed at criticizing the OSM, and Senate Democrats held a separate hearing to question the Interior Department's proposal to merge some OSM administrative and mine reclamation functions with the federal Bureau of Land Management.
"The Obama administration has openly sought ways to get rid of the coal industry," said Rep. Bill Johnson, an Ohio Republican who recently has led the GOP charge against Obama's coal policies.
Among other things, Johnson argued this week that the proposed OSM-BLM merger -- which most observers worry could weaken federal strip-mine enforcement -- "is yet another action by the Obama administration in its ongoing war on American coal."
During a Friday hearing, two former OSM subcontractors -- a coal industry consultant and a longtime industry lawyer -- alleged that agency officials tried to get them to soften the potential job losses projected in a study of the OSM's proposal to rewrite the federal stream "buffer zone" rule.
J. Steven Gardner, the industry consultant, testified that he and a team of outside subcontractors working on the study "unanimously refused to use a 'fabricated' baseline scenario to soften the production loss numbers," Gardner stated in written testimony.
Gardner and the other witness, lawyer Joseph Zaluski, disputed previous testimony in which OSM Director Joe Pizarchik tried to distance agency officials from the job and production analysis.
"We met with them constantly," Zaluski said. "They approved methodologies, especially with regard to production shifts."
Since taking office, the Obama administration has sought to reduce the environmental impacts of mountaintop removal, and has expressed serious concerns about the growing body of science linking the practice to a variety of adverse health effects for nearby residents. However, President Obama himself blocked the EPA from implementing tougher new smog standards that would have reduced pollution from coal-fired power plants, and advocates for action on global warming have criticized Obama for doing little on that issue.

- Tribal Judicial Institute
The Tribal Judicial Institute was established in 1993 with an award from a private foundation, the Bush Foundation, to provide training and technical assistance to twenty tribal courts in North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota. Since then, the Institute has expanded to become a national institute and has conducted over 500 local, regional and national training sessions for approximately 250 different tribal courts and tribal agencies throughout the nation. The Institute's trainings have focused primarily on tribal law enforcement development and enhancement, as well as the design and enhancement of tribal justice systems for adults and youth. In 1998, the Institute became one of the initial grantees of the Bureau of Justice Assistance under BJA's Tribal Court Assistance Program. In 2001, the Institute was asked by BJA to coordinate the Tribal Court Assistance Program and since that time has served as the primary technical assistance provider to the over 250 Indian tribes that have received funding under the Tribal Court Assistance Project. The TCAP program was conceived under DOJ's Indian Country Law Enforcement Initiative and its primary focus has been assuring safety for native communities by providing funding to Indian tribes to improve the collaboration between law enforcement and the Courts and to assist local tribal initiatives to respond to crime in Indian country. Tribal Justice issues have always been a priority for the Tribal Judicial Institute. Under the TCAP program the Institute helped coordinate two "Listening" conferences where tribal leaders in Alaska and tribal leaders in the lower 48 United States were able to come together with federal and state policy makers and express their concerns about crime in their communities.
The Institute also has extensive experience providing cross-discipline training and training designed to enhance federal-tribal cooperation. From 1998-2002 the Institute received funding from the Office for Victims of Crime to deliver training events for federal and tribal prosecutors and Judges on the prosecution of child sexual abuse in Indian country. From 1998 to 2002 the Institute delivered 12 trainings for over 200 tribal and federal judges on this important topic to Indian country and utilized both federal and tribal prosecutors as trainers and facilitators. The Institute has played a key role in tribal-state court forums in North Dakota and Minnesota, as well as assisting in the creation of a tribal-federal judges' forum in the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. The Institute has also served as a technical assistance provider for Sacred Circle, the federally-funded technical assistance provider for Indian Tribes on the Violence against Women Act and domestic violence in Indian country, and other organizations committed to ending violence in Indian families such as the Family Violence Prevention Fund.
In addition to these federal initiatives the Institute provides a variety of other types of technical assistance to Indian Tribes across the country. At present the Institute is involved with the National Commission on Uniform laws and United Sioux Tribes to provide training to Indian tribes on the development of uniform commercial codes to increase economic opportunities in Indian country. The Institute also has been extensively involved in improving tribal responses to juvenile justice issues in their communities and has developed curricula and written materials to assist Indian tribes in this arena.
The Institute is staffed by experienced personnel whose strongest attributes are that they are actively involved in tribal justice systems and work daily with tribal entities committed to assisting youth in the tribal communities they serve and assist. The Executive Director of the Institute, BJ Jones, has over 18 years experience as a tribal judge for various Tribes in the Northern Plains area. He currently serves as Chief Judge for the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate and its Treatment Court. Jones also serves as the Chief Justice for the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians, a Tribe that has been particularly hard hit by methamphetamine use by young persons. In addition to Jones' he teaches Criminal Law and Jurisdiction in Indian Country, Tribal Law, and a seminar on the Indian Child Welfare Act at the University of North Dakota School of Law. Jones is assisted, Associate Director, Michelle Rivard Parks, who has over 10 years experience working in Indian country as a prosecutor and tribal attorney and has worked in the juvenile justice arena since 1997. In addition, Parks has taught Federal Indian Law and served as a faculty member at many regional and national training events. She and Jones serve on the North Dakota Supreme Court's Tribal-State Judges' Committee and Jones on the Minnesota committee.
Lynnette Morin is the Program Administrator and is responsible for coordinating the training and scholarships for the grantees and other tribes funded through the Tribal Court Assistance Program (TCAP).
Each staff member has extensive experience as national trainers and facilitators on a variety of tribal issues with Jones presenting at over 200 national and regional conferences since 1995 including the Indian Nations Conference, Department of Justice events, United States Federal Courts conferences, the Federal Bar Association, American Bar Association events and National American Indian Court Judges' Conferences and Parks at Department of Justice, American Bar Association, and other events. TJI also currently employs approximately ten law students to provide legal research, develop materials and resources and to assist tribes with their technical assistance needs (ie. sample codes, legal research, etc).

On Movember 1st, the Inition team registered at Movember.com with clean-shaven faces and then for the rest of the month, these selfless and generous men transformed before our eyes, sporting many fine examples and styles of moustachery in aid of charity.
Alas, December is here and the office simply won't be the same without our furry friends, so we decided to capture Inition's handsome Mo Bro's in this timeless 3D image.
Future of 3D #3 : Design, Print, Fly!
The Brief
Co-founder and director of Intion Stuart Cupit, also keen photographer and kite-flyer, decided to set himself a challenge to build a rig capable of taking panoramic aeriel photos from his parafoil kite...
The rig needed moving parts, had to be light-weight but strong enough to hold servos and a digital camera and withstand the odd crash landing.
Stuart designed the rig using 3D Studio Max and included 5 independent moveable stages, a complete gear system, fittings for 4 servos, a microcontroller, batteries and, most importantly, a digital camera.
The final design was printed out in one go (yes, no assembly!) using our Invision-XT 3D printer. The various joints and gears were designed in place with the 0.1mm clearance between any two parts required to allow them to move independently. The VisiJet SR200 build material used is strong enough to be for functional finished products.
The gears, axels and sleeves freely revolve and the fleixble nature of the material, when printed in thin sections, allowed the servos to be held in place by sprung hinged latches. The servos follow a pre-recorded set of moves using a Milinst Wizard board.
- A Picavet suspension allowed the camera rig to self-level and prevents twisting. A geared mechanism reduced the speed of one of the servos by 20 to 1 to allow the rig to be rotated. The gears were printed in place and once support material is removed just work with no assembly!
- The Flight: The whole rig was attached to a Sutton Flowform 16 kite using a pair wire hangups on 200m of cord. The kite needed a 25mph wind to get the 1kg rig into the air. Flown from Hamstead Heath, the rig took 50 blurry photos the first time! The second flight got some great shots looking south across London, and some bemused looks from on-lookers!

The 'Future of 3D' series is about exploring the boundaries of future 3D technology through non-commercial creative projects. Supporting this type of work is core to Inition's core values of developing new uses of 3D technology, supporting creativity and nurturing the passion of it's staff and collaborators. If you have an idea for a 'Future of 3D' project, we'd love to hear from you.
Future of 3D: #1 - Scan, Print, Explode!
For our first 'Future of 3D' project we decided to have some 3D fun with Shannon's head to celebrate our 10th Birthday and the launch of our 'Future of 3D' series.
This project combined a wide range of our skills and 3D technologies. But mainly we enjoyed it because it involved blowing stuff up! If you're interested in finding out more, make sure you watch the video above.
Some of the kit we used: ZPrinter 450, Mephisto EX Scanner, Phantom/Quasar 3D Stereoscopic Filming Rig
We'd like to point out that no Shannons were harmed in this project, although strangely enough he had a slight headache afterwards. Check out our Future of 3D blog at fo3d.posterous.com for our latest experiments.

Future of 3D: #2 - Sketch, Sculpt, Print!
Future of 3D
Inition's "Future of 3D" series encourages work on non-commercial projects which help to push the boundaries of current 3D creative and technology. This was the first time we had seen a project go from sketched concept, through haptic modelling to a physical 3D printed model. Organic designs are not usually immediately associated with computers but with Claytools strength in creating organic shapes and our 3D printer's ability to print them, we see a great future for this combination of technologies in product design.
The Brief
As part of Inition's "Future of 3D" series, our 3D printing team agreed to work with BA design student Kristin Katzer from the London College of Communication to realise a packaging design for fruits.
Concept- The concept for Kristin's organic design was based on structures of nature, in particular her research into "tafoni structures" produced during the calcification of porous sandstone.
Freeform Design- Designing these organic structures using a typical 3D CAD package would have proved very difficult, however with Inition's guidance Kristin realised the design through the intuitive interface of the Sensable Phantom Omni in conjunction with the Claytools software. Claytools is a design package specially tailored towards haptic modelling, allowing the user to directly sculpt, manipulate and feel the surface of a model through a pen-line interface attached to a motorised force-feedback arm.
3D Print- After adding colour to the CAD model, the complex design was prepared for print Paul Armand, one of Inition's 3D printing specialists. Our full colour 3D ZPrinter 450 printed out the model over-night including two end caps with extruded lettering.
The final design forms part of Kristin's degree and was shown at the BA Design Show at the London College of Communication in June 2011.
Thanks to Kristin for creating a great piece; the first thing we've 3D printed that has been created on a haptic device.
The kit we used: ZPrinter 450, Phantom Omni with Claytools software

Integration of Counseling and Testing into Family Planning
The Population Council is assisting in the implementation of provider-initiated HIV counseling within the context of family planning services in South Africa.
At 29 percent, the HIV prevalence rate in South Africa is one of the highest in the world. Contraceptive use among women of reproductive age (15–49 years) also is high, reported to be 65 percent. The most commonly used methods of contraception are injectables (33%), pills (13%), and male condoms (8%).
The South Africa Department of Health has rolled out a number of vertical HIV prevention programs, but uptake of services has been mixed. Offering HIV prevention counseling and testing within the context of family planning services could increase the opportunity for women of reproductive age to better understand how to protect themselves from possible HIV infection and to learn their HIV status.
The Population Council has developed expertise in creating effective strategies and projects focused on preventing HIV transmission, including promoting counseling and testing. The integration of counseling and testing is intended to further South African government policy and national contraceptive guidelines by increasing counseling and testing uptake by family planning clients.
The integration model involves provider-initiated HIV counseling. Based on a client's preference, either the provider or a counselor conducts an HIV test and post-test counseling. This model has been implemented in 30 clinics in three districts in North West Province and will be introduced to all seven regions in the North West, Gauteng, and Eastern Cape provinces.
The integration has been conducted using the Balanced Counseling Strategy Plus (BCS+) toolkit. BCS+ is a practical, interactive, and client-friendly strategy for improving the quality of family planning consultation, including routine STI/HIV education and risk assessment.
Next steps include:
- scaling up training;
- integrating counseling and testing into family planning services in KwaZulu-Natal and other NGOs;
- adapting the BCS+ tool to other HIV services (such as preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV, voluntary counseling and testing, antiretroviral therapy and wellness sites, and antenatal and postnatal care); and
- strengthening monitoring systems to track and provide for the changing reproductive needs of clients at all entry points.

A $120 radio for $4,200, with crystal
When we think of gadgets and crystal, the name Swarovski invariably comes to mind. (We hope this doesn't say more about us than anything else.) So it is with great pleasure that we're able to mention an adorned item that doesn't have anything to do with the dreaded House of S.
The "Tivoli Model One" radio is encased in handcrafted crystal designed by Scandanavian artist Per B. Sundberg, according to Techabob, in limited-edition form. Very limited, in fact--only 30 of them are available at ScandinavianDesign, and for good reason. They cost $4,200 each.

Similar to the beginning of last year, this team just doens't play hard enough for long enough. It will get better, but going to have to run off a lot of B12 wins.
about time Iowa finally won a football/basketball game...was starting to think the rivalry was gone in this game...I mean, ISU has been dominant for far too long.

Lets face it this team has the ability to lose to Drake High School inside Wells Fargo Arena
We played like crap and it was a 5 point game on the road to a rival. That is the good part. The bad part is our conference sucks this year and we have lost our only 3 chances so far as quality wins in non conference (Not sure if BYU will actually be one or not) The other bad news is we lose a ton of players next year. I don't like relying on Freshman

I don't like relying on Freshman They started 3 FR and a SO and whipped us, so anything can happen next year. We need better play at the PG position and hopefully we'll get that with MM, Naz (with a year under his belt) and Jones. Hopefully Thomas and SDW can be scoring threats from outside. Percy, Ejim and Niang should be pretty solid in the paint. I'm not getting too excited about Armardi, Hogue and Edozie. They look like 10 min/game type role players to me.
Never thought I see the day where it's easier to win in Kinnick than Carver Hawkeye.

There is no interior defense on this team....without fouling. From tonight, it appears this team, despite the experience at guard, cannot handle a simple press. When they get behind, the only offensive plan they seem to have is to jack up some 3's early in the shot clock and hope they go in. I hate to say this, but I also was not impressed with CFH tonight. No way in hell would I have had Percy and Niang on the bench to start the 2nd half. Reward them for the effort and enthusiasm they were showing in the first half. They actually appeared like they wanted to win. Why the hell put Clyburn and Booker back out there to start the 2nd half? What had they done? Not impressed, and if this continues.....it is going to be a miserable Big 12 season. Finishing 8th or 9th as the coaches predicted will probably be about right. Something else to consider.......what does Iowa lose from tongiht for their team next year? 2 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists. Yep, tryouts start Tuesday. We want the hustlers on the court. The mistake prone people need to clean it up.
CFH HMagic bball season. Let my fred's Four Horsemen ride.
I don't have much to say because I have watched ISU once this year. Just want to add a comment from our side about Niang. He's the real deal. When he announced, I had no idea who he even was. Then I had heard how he was doing good out east, and started to think he could be a good player. Today, I was bummed Iowa lost out on him. I think he is going to be very good. You could see a few times where he looked like a freshman, but he definitely held his own.
I still think the sky is the limit for this team. It's just a matter of playing good, fundamental basketball, and maybe making a few line up and strategical changes.
Not worried. This is the first game this year where I think we came up against a truly inspired opponent. Iowa simply wanted this game more. The Cyclones matched their intensity at points in the game but I think Iowa out hustled ISU the overwhelming majority of the night. I'm not going to throw Will under the bus like some on here though. I honestly think he was shocked at the intensity of this game and couldn't find a way to get into it. He'll be fine going forward and if anything this will be a good teachable moment for CFH in getting him ready for Big 12 play. I think the ridiculously frustrating theme of the night though again is turnovers. What's really insanely annoying is how many unforced turnovers we have.
The whole problem here was defense, and the worst problem we have right now is Booker. If Booker starts playing decent defense and staying out of foul trouble, we can have a decent team. I said basically the same thing at the first of the year. I think Gibson is serviceable but has a long way to improve. Niang needs to lift some weights in order to be a strong defensive presence inside. Our inside defense killed us tonight. Also they out-rebounded us. We are in big trouble if we can't play any better defense than we played. Big teams that have an inside game will kill us.
"Cómo te va", dijo el murguista a la muchacha. Que lo cortó con su mirada indiferente Le dijo "Bien" y lo dejó como si nada Nuevamente... La princesa... Se perdía entre la gente (Jaime Roos)
Gesell, Woodbury, Clemmons as freshmen. White, Oglesby, Olesani as sophs. Marble, Basabe, McCabe as juniors. Like it or not, this is going to be a strong team in the next few years.

I wasn't impressed with Iowa's players individually from inside the arena, but they play well together. State was rattled at the start and battled back effectively to end the half. I was surprised Fred returned to the same lineup that got us in the hole to start the game to begin the second half, and Iowa rattled off another run to put us at arm's length. We were awful defensively from start to finish, I thought, not getting back after made baskets, not contending for boards, losing guys on screens. The turnover bug it seems will be biting us again and again this year. This group just doesn't value possession, and it will cost you in tight games like last night. ISU's achilles heel may be that we have no dependable scorer inside this year. When the going gets tough on the road and their crowd is into the game, you need somebody who can get to the basket and finish and draw fouls (and make free throws!) Georges is going to be that guy soon, but Melvin was nowhere to be found tonight. The Big 12 has performed so inconsistently in the non-conference this year that they may only get four teams in the tournament. ISU can be one of those teams, but they have lots of work to do. Good win Hawks. Kills me to say it.
Originally Posted by everyyard Fact: ISU lost the best player we have had in AT LEAST 11 years and maybe our best 3 point shooter EVER...we aren't going to be as good this year. Get over it. We can still make the tourney. This is a critical point. An elite player makes everyone on the court look better, can step it up when needed. It seemed odd to me that Clyburn was being hyped to fill this role as a 5th year senior when he has never been considered elite up to this point. He seems more likely to fill the role of Marquis Gilstrap (also had NBA build)

A - Pours dark black with foamy rich tan head. Recedes to a thin layer that rests on the top for the remainder of the glass. Spotty lacing runs down the glass.
S - Big dark malty nose, lots of chocolate, coffee, and dark fruit. Terrific aroma.
T - Starts sweet, with the dark malts and sweet chocolate, fruit. A coffee-like bitterness follows in to balance out the flavor. Finishes with a bit of booziness.
M - Full bodied, good carbonation. Coats the mouth nicely as it goes down.
D - No doubt this is a big beer, just as the label implies. But it does down smooth, and I'll be reaching for another in the near future. Highly recommended.

3.2/5 rDev -22%
look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3
22 oz bottle into a pint glass.
A: Pours a borderline pitch black color. The head is a two finger tan shade with excellent retention. Seriously, I've let it sit for about two minutes and it's only gone down half a finger. It also has a thick texture similar to whipped cream, but also has rather large bubbles as well. Splotchy lacing is left down the glass.
S: True to style, there's a lot going on within the nose. There are distant hints of fudgy chocolate, some floral hops, licorice, roasted malts, aniseed, and alcohol. Maybe it's a bit too boozy for 9.4% - then again, I'm so used to many imperial stouts hiding its alcohol well. Of course, letting it warm up will reduce the boozy bite somewhat. I really enjoy the aroma's complexity regardless.
T: Okay, this has a large amount of licorice to start. The finish is well-attenuated, with tart fruits, roast...and booze. A surprising amount for 9.4%. Some chocolaty hints appear in places. Unfortunately, this isn't my favorite profile for an imperial stout - and even worse, it's too lacking in complexity.
M: I enjoy how creamy and full-bodied this is. Despite all of the alcohol, it loafs around on the palate more than it should. The sharp carbonation and alcohol doesn't dry it out enough.
O: This one is too young. Plain and simple. A couple of years will make it great - I have no doubt of that. But right now, it's too simplistic and too boozy. I'll buy this again, but only to age a bottle for a few years. Since I'm a firm believer that a beer should be ready as soon as its released, this scores average to me.

look: 4.5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.25
Pitch black and completely opaque. Rich cinnamon colored head retains very well. Patchy, cascading lacing.
Roasted espresso and spicy herbal, earthy aroma.
Burnt toffee, espresso, baking chocolate. Highly roasted overall. Well balanced maple and brown sugar sweetness with hints of black licorice. Aggressive earthy hop yet in good proportion. Dry, satisfying finish.
Full bodied. Dry on the palate. Plenty of malty, grainy texture
Everything an imperial stout should be. Great complexity and balanced with all the flavors you crave. Exceptional!

22oz bottle poured into a snifter. 2014
A: Pours a very dark brown appearing black in the glass with a large khaki head on top. Nice lacing on the sides of the glass after the head dissipates.
S: Big roasty malts up front let you know this stout is serious. A blend of chocolate and smokiness also come across. Some dark fruits in there too. A bit of alcohol on the backend.
T: As with the aroma a there is a strong roasted malt character right off the bat. A bitter chocolate adds some sweetness. A mix of dark fruit and molasses bring up the rear.
M: Medium to full body with a smooth creamy mouthfeel. Moderate to low carbonation. A tad hot from the alcohol reminding you to sip and enjoy this one.
Overall this beer is very true to the style and a very enjoyable beer to enjoy. Might benefit from some time in a cellar to round out the alcohol bite.

It's Good To Be Gwen Stefani
It's Good To Be Gwen Stefani
With a solo album in the works, a new fashion line in stores, and a big movie on the way, Gwen Stefani's career is on fire. Oh yeah, and did we mention that rock-god husband, Gavin Rossdale? Today, she lets us into her fab world.
Special Offer
Cosmo: Is No Doubt officially splitting up?
Gwen: I thought it would be a good publicity stunt to say that we broke up, but really were not. We decide after our album
Rock Steady
that we were going to take some time apart to pursue other projects. And I really wanted to do a movie.
C: You landed the role of Jean Harlow in the upcoming
The Aviator
. What is your part like?
G: ITS very small. I was only shooting for four or five days, so Ill barely be onscreen for two minutes, which is so hilarious, because theyre making it sound like Im the star of the movie.
C: Do you want to keep acting?
G: Ive been trying to do films for years. So Ive decided to wait until the next good part comes along and develop a record on my own in the meantime. Im calling it a side project because I dont want people tot think Im leaving the band.
C: Whats your new solo CD going to be like?
G: Its going to be a fun 80s-inspired retro dance album.
C: Hows it coming so far?
G: Its been hard to focus. Coming off the tour and having my first year of being married. Im kind of lazy. I like to lie around with my husband and watch TV and stuff like that. It takes a lot of selfish time to make music. Thats the reason why the bands been successful all these yearsthats all we ever did.
C: Wasnt that tough on the band members relationships?
G:All of our girlfriends and boyfriends were always secondary. Tony [the bass player] was my boyfriend for eight years, so that made it easy. Then I met Gavin, and we were both constantly on tour for the last seven years. Gavin and I would only spend like five weeks together at one time in all the years that we went out. It was really hard, but when were apart, we get more work done.
C: You were the only girl in an all guy band for 17 years. Are you more of a guys girl, or do you have a girlie side to you?
G: Im totally a girlie girl. But I definitely can hang out with the guys in the band because we have music in common. Theyre like my brothers.
C: Was it ever hard though, especially with all the groupies and screaming girls?
G: The thing is, theyre not just guys, theyre guys in a band that tons of really cute girls come to see on tour. There have been times when I had to put my foot down and say You know what? I dont want to be part of this. This is digusiting, or whatever. The girls backstage and all that stuffit can get out of control sometimes.
C: Whats it like to be on tour for a year?
G: Reality becomes totally skewed, but its such an amazing time because you get lost in your own world, and thats whats so hard about coming off a tour. All of a sudden you go,
Oh my God, I have to have keys. I have to have money in my purse.
Someone is not going to do every single thing for me.
C: One of the great back stories of No Doubt is that you and Tony remained friends and bandmates after you split. How did you do that?
G: I dont know, but I think it was probably the passion for music. We just loved the band so much, and I guess we knew that it was worth it. But him breaking up with me was the most incredible thng, because before that, I was a very passive person, who was dependent on him for my happiness. I was only 17 when I started seeing him, and I never had any other serious boyfriends before that, so I glamorized the relationship and I was so in love. When he broke up with me, I started writing all these songs, and I found my talent, which was the most empowering thing that has ever happened to me.
C: Was it weird for him that you were using the breakp in your songs?
G: I think it probably was, but we were always such good friend, and he was happy for me that I was discovering my writing talent. But Im sure he went through some pan too. And then when I met my husband, it was really hard for him to see me with someone else.
C: Do you no use Gavin when youre writing songs?
G: Yeah, Im definitely inspired by him. Hes the one who get to me and turns on my feelings, and when my feelings are turned on, I can write songs. Hes definitely my muse.
C: Are you each others biggest fan or worst critic?
G: I am totally his biggest fan, but music wise, when we first met, we werent into each others bands at all. I know he didnt like No Doubt that much; he liked one song. But hes grown to like it more. And the rock music he does wasnt something I was big on. But then I realized how talentd and poetic he is, and hes such an amazing writer, so now Im completely a fan of his music.
C: Did you legally change your name when you got married?
G:Yeah, to Rossdale. Im traditional, and so is he. We like tradtion here and there. I kept Stefani as my stage name.
C: Do you ever struggle to maintain privacy in your relationship?
G: I dont ever feel like Ive been very secretive about who I am. My songs are basically my diaries. Our relationship is very real, and when we got married, it became even more sacred. But if I start talking about it more, suddenly its out there for people to criticize and to have an opinion about, and you know what? No. People dont get to do that.
C: Is it tough for you to deal with critiques?
G: I have a heard time reading stuff on my Web site. Ive actually been considering shutting it down because its such a great opportunity for people to bag on you. It feel like the more Im out there in the public eye, the more criticism I get. You need to have confidencethats what it takes to walk out there and sing a song in front of a huge group of people. But the criticsm hurts, and it fucks with you.
C: It doesnt seem like you care what people think about what you wear
G: Ever since I hit puberty, Ive been really into having my own look. I would buy old mens pajama bottoms and peg them and wear my monkey boots and my tank tops. I was also really into Hollywood glamour: skinny eyebrows with lots of powder with red-black lips, and tons of mascara. And if you look back, Ive been doing it since I was 17.
C: Why did you decide to start a clothing line?
G: My stylist, Andrea, andi were making so many outfits, we decided, Why dont we do a clothing line together? Its every girls dream. We were going to do something really small and just sell our stuff at a few boutiques, and then I met this guy who said he wanted to do a clothing line with me and pay for everything. The best part was he said I could do whatever I wanted creatively. I was like,
Are you kidding? Okay.
C: How did you come to call the line L.A.M.B?
G: I had a dog for 16 years, and I called her Lamb because she was like the lamb in Mary Had a Little Lambshe followed me everywhere I went. So then I thought Lamb would be a cool name for my clothing line, because it would be like my dog living on through my clothes. So when we did the bgas with Le Sportsac we decided that L should stand for Love, A for Ange, M for Music, and B for Baby. So theres a few meanings.
C: You are so busy. Do you ever have time to work out?
G: I have to work out really, really hard to be as hot as I am. Its difficult for me. I think I went on my first diet in sixth grade. Its in my genes to be a be a little bigger and I dont like that, admittedly. I want girls to know that I work at itits not easy, and it doesnt come naturally, unfortunately.
C: Do you have any bad habits?
G: Whenever I go on a diet and get myself incredibly healthy and hot looking, I start to go,
Oh, I look cute, lets have some pizza.
And then the whole cycle begins again.
C: Are you domestic?
G: Im not, and its so embarrassing. I always thought that I was going to be this perfect wife and mom. I fantasized about it for so long, and Im not very good at cleaning up and doing the homemaker thing. The one thing that makes me feel super lucky about my financial success is that I have a housekeeper. And if that ever got taken away, I would be really, really, really bummed.
C: Whats the best perk of being a star?
G: You always manage to get super good tables at restaurants.
C: Have you ever had a great encounter with a fan?
G: I was driving down Hollywood Boulevard one day and I saw this guy wearing an old NO Doubt shirt, so I knew he was a die-hard fan. I rolled down the window, and I yelled to him, Hey, cool shirt. He was probably 19. The guy seriously nearly fell over. He totally tripped. It was so cute.
