From the Archives — Starting Over
Below are segments of Sports Spectrum's interview with Mark Jackson from our February 1995 issue.
SS: How have you changed since your college days at St. John's? Has being an NBA star affected you?
Jackson: No, I think the things that have changed me are being married, having two children, and most important, becoming a Christian. That changed my life more than anything else. That changed my perspective, changed my attitude, changed my whole outlook, and that really was the greatest thing that happened to me… Continue reading

How to change $Layout theme?
15 May 2008 at 6:15pm
Hi all,
i thinking how to change $Layout theme from page controller, now $Layout depends on page type and associated template with it(in Layout dir), but lets say i have two Page type pages and want that the $Layout would be rendered with different themes. How can I do that? Is it possible?

I also have a similar question I would like to swap the layout from the controller as I understand $controller::renderWith("TemplateName"); will swap the whole template, I would like to know if there is a way to keep the current template and only swap the $layout portion from the controller?

Okay figured it out $controller::renderWith(array("LayoutTemplate", "PageTemplate"));
Basically by passing the Layout template then the Page template it will render in the correct order.

So you'd want change the Layout template, without creating a new page type?
It makes sense. We also have a ticket in our open source tracker to allow choosing of a layout template from the CMS. So, you could create templates like Page_twocols, Page_threecols, Page_wide, Page_narrow, Page_alternative or anything you'd like, and you can choose any of those templates using a dropdown on each page, which defaults to just "Page", of course.
Here's the ticket if you want to see: http://open.silverstripe.com/ticket/2791

Yes exactly. That sounds good Typo3 has a similar thing and sub pages will inherit their parents temple which is also useful.

Sorry, I wasn't clear.
That's a ticket for the functionality to be added. It means that someone came up with the idea, and we just added it to the tickets for someone to create the functionality at a later date.
Until then, you can just use the method that CodeGuerrilla has shown.
CodeGuerrilla, did you put your renderWith() method inside the Page_Controller init() method?
Re: How to change $Layout theme?
9 October 2008 at 12:29pm
No, I was calling it via another method of the controller:
function archive()
return self::renderWith(array("NewsArchive", "Page"));
Basically will use the NewsArchive.ss layout file but will still use the main Page.ss template works well, with the exception of the Breadcrumbs

The Braves and Kris Medlen kick off their 8-game home-stand against Madison Bumgarner and the San Francisco Giants.
1. Andrelton Simmons - SS
2. Jason Heyward - RF
3. Justin Upton - LF
4. Freddie Freeman - 1B
5. Brian McCann
6. B.J. Upton - CF
7. Dan Uggla - 2B
8. Chris Johnson - 3B
9. Kris Medlen - P
The Braves have currently played the fewest home games of any NL team at 28, and they have a .750 winning percentage when they play at Turner Field.
Starting on the hill tonight is Kris Medlen. Medlen hasn't been quite as dominant as he was late last season, but after a semi-rough start to the season, he's been excellent over his last three non-injury-shortened starts - 19.2 IP, 19 H, 4 R, 2 BB, and 21 K. As Beachy gets closer to returning, Medlen has been making quite the argument to remain in the rotation.
Madison Bumgarner
(Sorry for the issues. I'll get my *&^% straight eventually)
Scouting Report: Madison Bumgarner has an odd delivery. He has a weird arm action, and he throws across his body, which is especially difficult for lefties. Bumgarner throws about 50% fastballs, but he'll rely heavily on his slider as well to hitters on both sides of the plate. The only real change on RHH vs. LHH is the use of his change-up, which he will rarely throw to lefties.
Analysis: Bumgarner is one of the better pitchers in the National League. An above-average strikeout rate (K%) of 23% goes along nicely with his walk rate (BB%) of 7% (average is about 8%). His walk rate is a bit up from previous years, but that will likely smooth itself out over the course of the season. The lefty's ERA of 3.58 is a little north of where he usually is, but his peripherals and FIP (Fielding-Independent Pitching) suggest he should lower that moving forward as long as he pitches similarly to how he has so far.

Quite a few School of Mines students ditched their cars Wednesday and biked or walked to school staying true to the 'Drive to No Drive' pledge.
As part of Campus Sustainability Day, students, faculty and staff at the school pledged to reduce their carbon impact for the day by using alternative transportation. The goal is to promote green living that extends beyond just today.
In addition to the pledge, the school now offers reusable food containers. Students can purchase the to-go containers for just $5, and when they're done using them, food service staff will clean and return them. "Everyone can do their part, even if it's changing how you get places or how you eat," SDSM&T staff member Jennifer Hauf said.
Also Wednesday morning, food service staff weighed the breakfast waste to show students exactly how much food is wasted each day.
The school also offers a relatively new sustainability engineering program.

Updated 1:17pm Tuesday 4th February 2014 in Local News
A WOMAN was cut free from her car this morning after it over turned on its roof on a road in Stanford-le-Hope.
Three fire crews from Corringham and Orsett attended the scene of the accident on Walton's Hall Road just before 9am.
The woman was trapped by her seatbelt, before crews used specialist cutting equipment to release her by 9.37am.
An ambulance spokesman said two casualties were taken to Basildon Hospital as a precaution, but that no serious injuries were reported.

The Timberwolves returned home to face the Denver Nuggets for the second time in the young season. The Nuggets defeated the Wolves earlier in the season in Kevin Love's return 101-94. Despite a poor shooting night from Love, the Wolves extracted some revenge with a 108-105 win.
"We had a lot of guys contribute tonight," said head coach Rick Adelman. "Pek, the guards all played well and it's a game we've got to have. We have to beat teams in our conference."
Kenneth Faried got the Nuggets off to a good start as he scored 11 of the Nuggets first 16 points as the visitors jumped out to a 16-10 lead. Meanwhile Kevin Love struggled once again from the floor as he started 0-for-6 from the field before finally scoring on a dunk in transition. Love finished the half shooting just 3-for-12 from the field.
Trailing by as many as 12, early in the second quarter the Wolves went on a 28-15 to end the quarter taking a 51-50 lead at the half. Much of the damage came at the free throw line as the Wolves went 17-for-20 at the line.
The cold shooting continued into the second half for Love and the Wolves and despite Love shooting 0-for-5 from the floor in the quarter, the Wolves stretched their lead to seven 77-70 after three quarters.
The Wolves run continued into the fourth quarter as Nikola Pekovic took advantage of the Nuggets foul trouble. Both Kosta Koufos and Javale McGee were forced to the bench with five fouls each. Pekovic scored 12 second half points as the Wolves built their lead.
The Nuggets cut the defecit to three points with 34 seconds left after former Wolves guard Corey Brewer had back to back dunks. Out of a timeout, the Wolves turned the ball over when they failed to inbound the basketball and were called for a five second violation. Denver then turned the ball over when Ty Lawson was double teamed and lost the ball. Andrei Kirilenko raced up court and finished with a dunk that brought the fans at Target Center to their feet.
With the Wolves leading 107-102, Brewer hit a deep three to pull the game to within two points. Dante Cunningham missed the front end of a two shot situation, but made the third with just five seconds remaining and Lawson's three pointer to tie bounced ott the rim.
NOTES: All was well with the media dinner until Denver's Andre Miller entered, grabed a plate and sat down to eat with the media types. FOX Sports North analysit Quincy Lewis asked Miller what he was doing to which Miller replied "It's a free meal".

As the Bengals trail the Ravens by a score of 7-0 at home half way through the second quarter in their Week 17 matchup, the team's last offensive touchdown is becoming a distant memory. In fact, according to Cincinnati sports radio personality Lance McAlister, the Bengals' last offensive touchdown was in Week 15 with 12:47 left in the fourth quarter against the Eagles when Andy Dalton threw a five-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Green.
The Bengals' next game was was against the Steelers, a game which they won by a score of 13-10, locking their place in the playoffs as the AFC's No. 6 seed. However, they won that game without scoring a single offensive touchdown. Their lone touchdown was on a pick six by Leon Hall and the other two scores were Josh Brown field goals.
The Bengals are going to the playoffs for the second consecutive season, something they haven't done since '81 and '82. If they would like to win their first playoff game since the 1990, they'll have to get their offense firing. If they don't they won't have much of a chance at defeating the No. 3 seed, whoever that may be, in the Wildcard Round.

Potting Shed coins in £70 for bibic children's charity
11:00am Wednesday 12th February 2014 in News
THE boss of a children's charity says his team was "thrilled" by the fundraising efforts of its next-door neighbours.
Staff at The Potting Shed tea room, based at Old Kelways, in Langport, raised £70 for bibic, after hosting a fair for the charity.
Geoff Cummins, bibic chief executive, said: "We're thrilled with the money raised by the team at The Potting Shed.
"We'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who donated and put lots of hard work and effort into the fayre.
"As a charity which receives no Government funding, every little helps, so we are extremely grateful for anything raised for us."
Rebecca Croot, owner of The Potting Shed, said: "Being based next door to bibic's new premises means we're well aware of the hard work it does to help children and families, so we couldn't think of a more worthy cause to receive the money we raised."

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) – Richmond Public Schools sent home some disturbing news to parents Tuesday. Officials sent a letter letting parents know Blackwell Elementary School may have been used for fraternity hazing. Now, a full-scale investigation is underway.
The alleged incident took place inside the gym shared by the school and the Blackwell Community Center. The claims originally said the hazing ritual involved g-strings and baby oil but NBC12 has learned otherwise.
The stories have been spreading throughout the Blackwell Elementary community. So much so Richmond Public Schools eventually sent home a letter pointing a finger at Blackwell principal Daryl Roselle.
"To hear of this is just unacceptable," said Kjelene Hunt, whose son is in third grade.
The note said the principal participated in an unauthorized meeting held in the building while it was empty during spring break. The way parents heard it, however, the April 7 meeting was actually a fraternity hazing ritual involving g-strings and baby oil.
"There could have been anything left behind, evidence of what has happened or may have happened here," Hunt told us. "Kids are curious so they could always go looking for something and not even know what they've found."
A district spokesperson said there's no evidence those items were involved but, "…We are extremely concerned that proper protocols were not followed."
According to published reports, Alpha Phi Alpha is the fraternity involved. The chapter identified is not associated with any specific university.
The letter does not specifically mention Mr. Roselle's employment status but does say the two assistant principals are now in charge. In a statement to us, officials said the district will take disciplinary action if necessary.
The Richmond Education Association explained it has received multiple complaints about the way Principal Roselle treats staff. This is his first year at the school.
"To me that's a terrible example of leadership," Hunt said, as she picked up her son from an after school program Tuesday night.
Richmond Police officials told NBC12 they have not been asked to step in.

Baseball alum David Doney named to US News "Best Lawyers in America"
Related Links
Former JU baseball player David M. Doney is building a prestigious streak in his profession streak, being named to the US News "Best Lawyers in America" list for the fourth straight year.
Doney was one of 106 lawyers from his firm, Akerman Senterfitt, to make the list for his work in corporate law securities/capital markets law and securities regulation.
The overall list is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 41,000 leading attorneys cast nearly 3.9 million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas.
Doney pitched two seasons for the Dolphins in 1986 and 1987. As a junior, Doney tallied a 1-0 record and fanned 10 batters in 12 innings of work. He struck out 19 batters in his senior season.
In his prep career, Doney was a three-year letterwinner at the Bolles School – helping the Bulldogs win the state title in 1983.

Beginning October 1, Gulf Coast State College's radio station, WKGC (GC90.7 FM), will discontinue its affiliation with National Public Radio (NPR) and start airing BBC World News. Locally produced news, blues and jazz programs will remain a hallmark of the lineup while NPR news programs such as 'Morning Edition' and 'All Things Considered' will be replaced with 'BBC News Hour.'
As Northwest Florida's local public radio station for more than 40 years, the station remains dedicated to providing programs focusing on local news, entertainment, arts and cultural events. It also serves to educate and train broadcasting and communications students through College's communications and digital media courses.
"Change is never easy and this is a big one," said Harley Pummill, Operations Manager. "But with the community's continued support, I am confident that not only will GC90.7 FM weather the change, it will emerge as a stronger station, better serving the listening needs of this area by offering diversity and a clear choice to the audience."
General Manager Chris Thomes agrees. "We are thrilled to be able to offer the BBC News to our listeners. It is such a respected source of news and is a great complement to our locally produced news segments. This is a real 'win-win' for our listeners."

Eight Local Eating Challenges
Eat a lot of food to find glory, fame, heartburn
If you're looking for your own 15 minutes of fame but find your skill sets are generally limited to things that are superfluous — or, in this case, possibly self-destructive — your best bet might be to take up one of these local eating challenges (these are the ones we know of — we bet there's a lot more of 'em) so you can achieve glory, superstar status and indigestion — right after you unbuckle your pants.Everybody knows Cincinnati is obsessed with food, probably because there's a lot of it around here. Good food, that is. Whether you want to show off, naturally induce hibernation, experience a lifetime's worth of a particular dish in one sitting or just want a good story to tell, there are plenty of opportunities to make it happen with eating challenges around the city. We've only added the ones we were able to confirm with the restaurant, but if you're dead-set on checking one of these out, it's probably a good idea to call ahead and make sure it's not a periodical offering. Be sure to let us know where we missed in the comments! 1) Ramundo's Pizza (Mount Lookout) – Two people split a 26-inch pizza with extra cheese and two toppings, with 10 minutes to devour the whole thing. It's an investment — the pizza costs $35 — but you get it (and heartburn) for free if you finish. 2) Blue Ash Chili (Blue Ash) – "No Freakin' Way Challenge": One person + 2.5 lbs. spaghetti + 2.5 lbs. chili. + 2.5 lbs. cheese + 1 lb. jalapenos + 60 minutes + $40 = the most extravagant and gut-busting possible way to prove your obsession with our city's trademark dish, Cincinnati chili. If you finish, it's free and you'll get a spot on the Hall of Fame plus a T-shirt. Losers go on the Hall of Shame, but you'll still get a tee for free. 3) Raniero's Pizza (Cold Springs, Ky.) – Two people have 10 minutes to devour a 24-inch pizza, and each is allowed one 20 oz. cup of water. Beat the clock and get the pizza for free; beat the record and get a T-shirt, too. 4) Mecklenburg Gardens (Corryville) – The "Uber Terminator Challenge": One person has an hour to put down a 3-foot long spicy mettwurst sausage on a hoagie bun, covered with peppers and sauerkraut. It's $25, and free if you make it. You get a free T-shirt either way. 5) Padrino's (Milford)– Four pounds of spaghetti and meatballs + you + 45 minutes. If you make it, it's free; if not, $30. 6) Izzy's (multiple locations) – "110 Reuben Challenge": Of course, made famous a la Man v. Food: a super-sized potato pancake, more than 1 lb. of corned beef, a heap of sauerkraut, dressing and cheese, all inside a big loaf of poppyseed bread. You have 30 minutes to eat this monstrosity — it's $19.99 — and if you make it, you'll get it fo' free plus a T-shirt and a photo on the Izzy's wall of shame fame. 7) Guiseppe's Pizza (Covington) "Legend of the Drunken Fireman": Just you and a 20-inch, 20-topping, 7-lb. pizza plus 59 minutes. If you lose, it'll set you back $50; if you make it, you'll get it free plus a T-shirt. 8) Bard's Burgers (Covington) – Two different challenges here: Go big with the Bardzilla — a burger with 10 1/3-lb. beef patties, 10 pieces of cheese, 2 lbs. of French fries and a 16 oz. milkshake (close to 7 lbs. of food). Free if you make it through in 45 minutes or less, $30 if not. Or, for the more timid, there's the "Little Zilla" — beat the customer record to chow down one of two triple-stacked specialty burgers — the Kitchen Sink or the Widow Maker (eek) — plus an order of large fries and a milkshake, for a free meal.

Food trucks arrived in Cincinnati only three years ago, but already a few are expanding into brick-and-mortar locations. While some of these changes are in hopes of transitioning into a fecund restaurant business, others are just trying to survive in a competitive market in a city with limited spots to park and do business.

I Just Can't Get Enough
Jac's roundup of pop culture news and Internet findings
Beardwatch 2013 Last week on Survivor, most of the episode was devoted to the Bikal tribe, aka the Favorites. Our homeboy Matt Bischoff didn't get a ton of airtime, but was selected to join an alliance with Sherri, Laura, Julia, Shamar and Mike. The other alliance, referred to as "The Lovers," is comprised of the four attractive people who bonded early on their collective attractiveness. When Gota got their buts kicked in the immunity/reward challenge, Cincy-born Reynold Toepfer immediately addressed his issues with Shamar. The Iraq War veteran, who started a tiff with Matt last week, prefers to "conserve energy" and do crazy Pilates stretches over wasting time fishing, securing the shelter or doing pretty much anything else. Feel the burn!After Reynold spoke his peace, he proverbially slipped in an extra chair at the popular kids' lunch table and asked Matt to join the pretty people's decision and vote Shamar off, going against Matt's original alliance. Later, Reynold found a hidden immunity idol (which is a thing?) that protects whoever's in possession from elimination. After hiding the object in his pants, trying to keep it secret, Laura immediately noticed a telling "bulge" and knew the plan to eliminate one of the Lovers was foiled. Clearly, this was all just a producer's plot to get people to talk about Reynold's "bulge." Success! Unfortunately, Reynold did not give his immunity idol to cuddle buddy Allie, and the blonde got six out of 10 votes (Matt stuck with his original alliance). Looks like there's more space at the popular table! Speaking of locals on TV, it looks like Cincy has their own Sons of Anarchy (I wish). You know how at the end of every Law and Order episode, a message states that the stories are not based on actual events? Well, we all know that's a bunch of bullshit, and this week's upcoming episode of Special Victims Unit couldn't make that any more clear. Via Dlisted: A famous young Hip Hop couple in a physical dispute screams "Chris and Rihanna!" but, in SVU world, the abuser done gets killt! People love it when local products make national news. The latest: BuzzFeed's list of "Cincinnati Foods That Are Better Than Yours." Sure, you've got the ubiquitous Skyline and Montgomery Inn (yawn, sorry), but there are some fresh Cincy exports like Tom + Chee's grilled cheese donut, Kings Island's blue soft-serve and portable yums from It's Just Crepes. Check nearly any humor blog/Internet recreation site and you'll likely find a list of the "Worst Tattoos EVAR" complete with misspellings, poor drunken decisions and unfortunate portraits. Also, you'll probably see this picture. Well, not anymore — Scott Versago of Akron's Ohio Ink Studios fixed the butchered tat! Channeling my guilty pleasure crush Oliver Peck (panel judge on Ink Master and ex-husband of Kat Von D — don't judge me), I have to say the "new" tat has entirely too much dark shading, but it's certainly an improvement and looks much more like the original woman who passed away. The Oscars were kind of fun this year. Seth MacFarlane didn't attack us with his arsenal of voices (though many saw his jokes as misogyny at its finest) and the awards were pretty spread out among the films (as opposed to the usual one or two favorites). But after watching Saturday's Film Independent Spirit Awards, no other movie awards show will match up. The much-funnier-than-MacFarlane Andy Samberg hosted, the show is uncensored on IFC and the evening was brought to us by Jameson, an apparently magical ingredient for a high-larious evening. And, yes, independent films are way cooler than Lincoln. The night kicked off with the award for Best First Screenplay (See what I mean? What a cool award.) As the camera panned around to all the nominees, Derek Connolly (of the perfectly surreal Safety Not Guaranteed) took a giant swig of what appeared to be a wine glass full of Jameson (each table had a half gallon!). To his surprise, Connolly won and went on to make a speech that stumbled along for more than six minutes (this was what appeared to be the only time the show was cut/censored), ending with a fabulous moment with the one and only Bryan Cranston. Check out this moment and more highlights: And one last Oscars gripe: I was enraged to see Channing Tatum perform an entire dance sequence onstage without tearaway pants, Ginuwine's "Pony" or a single pelvic thrust. They totally overlooked a potential Magic Mike nod and I don't appreciate it.

The Upper Missouri Ministries summer camp has been around for over 60 years. After a lot of updating and the addition of some brand new features, the camp is ready for another summer.
There are many opportunities for children to learn and grow at the Upper Missouri Ministries summer camp.
"(There's) wonderful food, wonderful fellowship, and they get to learn life lessons like how to share, how to clean, things that kids maybe have challenges with. You learn social skills. They have to communicate one on one. There are no cellphones here. And they certainly learn a lot about God, through experience" explained executive camp director, Nick Johnson.
A counselor spoke of his favorite aspects of working with the campers.
"Definitely the relationships you build with them. It may be only a week, but they definitely last longer than that. It's nice being that role mode for them, and also to be the one to show them the way of Christ. It's great" said counselor, Reid Halvorson.
Nine-year-old, Gage Bushman, spoke of his favorite experiences from his week at Upper Missouri Ministries summer camp.
"My week here was great. We got to go to the beach, we got to read the bible and we got to play games. It was really fun. I'm going to come back a lot of times" said Bushman.
One current counselor is actually a former camper and explained why she came back to work at the summer camp.
"I think just growing up here and this is really where I grew in my faith. This is really where I learned about Jesus. I just feel so connected to God here" said counselor Kayla Rust.
Kayaking, a ropes course, and many other fun activities are offered for children of all ages.

Pedisavers pedicure socks
Would You Wear These Pedicure Socks?
by POPSUGAR Beauty 88 Reactions 18 Shares Print
I just came across these Pedisavers pedicure socks ($16–$20), and I can't stop giggling. The idea is that you put them on before applying polish, so that you keep your legs and feet warm. Additionally, these socks eliminate the need for toe separators. (Are toe separators a big problem that needed to be solved?) I doubt I'd wear these, but for cold-footed pedicure addicts, maybe it's a must-have. What do you think?

really people... they're not intended for wearing in public! You put them on AFTER the massage/soaking part BEFORE the polishing. You then go HOME. No fuzz stuck in the polish - no smears or wrinkles either. No I would not wear them anywhere but out the door of the salon to the car and into my house. But I would wear them for their intended purpose. I do not think I would enjoy driving home with my feet wrapped in saran/oil. gross!

I don't see the need for them. Plus your toes would also get cold as well. I usually wear flip flops.
phree2b 6 years
Okay. But how do they keep your just polished toes from getting hair, dirt etc. on them? They are still exposed...
pinkdragonfly 6 years
I'm not saying they don't work...as I wouldn't know since I have never tried them. I'm saying they're not my style, therefore I would never try them. Also, my feet have never been cold before/during/after a pedicure.

Since moving to LA, I have realized that the women there (okay, yes this statement is a wee bit general) live in fear of having their feet being cold, so I can see them using this. Me: "Ummm, so really I thought the Ugg boot thing had died a little bit..except where I'm from, Buffalo, because it's like -20 degrees there?" LA acquaintance: "Nooo way!! If I don't wear these boots, my feet get cold in the air conditioning!! I usually bring an electric blanket with me to class too!! Besides...how can you wear Ugg boots in Buffalo? Won't they get like, wet or something?" Me: "Um, right."

YES!! I never go to the salon for pedicures...i am the diy girl. I kick back and do my mani/pedi with the tv or computer on while they dry. i am constantly trying to position my blankets so they keep my feet warm, but dont smudge my toes - this is exactly what i need!! Dorky...yes, but i think totally useful!

JaimeLeah526 6 years
I wouldn't spend money on something like that but I do think they'd be useful. You just put them on before you get your toes polished and they keep your feet a little warmer.
phree2b 6 years
Why I never!
htiduj 6 years
oh i would definitely use a product like this. its soo much better than having them saran wrap you feet before putting on your socks and shoes. and that way in the winter, you can have your pedicure and have your feet be warm too!! sure, they are super ugly, but they definitely can come in handy.

How would you take those off without touching your polish?

They seem pretty uselass to me. And that pic with the sandals is high...wait for it... larious!!
Nickey 6 years
Well I could see that they are functional in a sense but I wouldn't pay that much for them. You could cut out your own socks like someone said above or just wear flip flops. I would never wear them with sandals though, maybe with a closed toe shoe. Whenever I get a pedicure, I get some oil put over the polish and around my toes then put saran wrap from around my toes to the ball of my foot. I can pretty much put on whatever shoes I want to and my polish is never smudged. Then when I get home, I take all of that off and walk around with very moisturized bare feet with smudge free polish.

im gonna go against the grain, i love it! i think it's really new and interesting looking! i usually dont bother with painting nails cause they grow out and look bad within a week but for this, i would go out of my way for it! would wear it not just for a pedicure. it IS strange, i like it!

These are so ridiculous. 1. How do you get them on without ruining your pedicure? 2. What good would they do if it's cold enough for you to need socks? Aren't you still going to be wearing closed-toe shoes?
dd-sugar 6 years
Oh retrodoll, I agree with you! I've prepped patients for the OR and they do look like the surgical stockings we use (minus the individual toes). You have to have some muscle to put them on (like support hose) and they're a lovely white, and always have to have the toes sticking out to check circulation. Well at least it was good for a laugh!

The cold doesn't bother me much so I probably wouldn't buy these, but for girls who shiver at the thought of a breeze, these would come in handy! I have some toe-less "yoga" socks and I love them for yoga, of course, and for lounging around because they showcase my toesies. I also love toe socks (like gloves for feet) for the same reason and everyone who sees them always comment on how cute the socks are!
ModernGraceKelly 6 years
UMMM, NOOOOOO! Those are like surgical stockings for the elderly. I would never rock those with sandals either...LMAOOOOOOOO

Just last week I had a pedicure and it was freezing outside. Because my toes seem to smudge if I put on shoes or socks right away, normally I wear flip flops for the remainder of the day (or go barefoot), but it was just too cold. So I took an old pair of socks with holes in them and cut off the toes. Then I could still wear my flip flops, keeping the rest of my feet warm until I got home. It worked really well and was free and easy! And my pedicurist thought my ingenuity was cool.

The metering sensor is under the mirror and is used to set aperture and shutter speed. This means light is getting to the metering sensor. Obviously, if it gets to the metering sensor, then it probably gets to the main sensor as well, its just not very much light.
The metering sensor was under the mirror in old designs, but these days it's actually up in the pentaprism housing (labeled in the upper right of this diagram taken from a Canon tech report):
So, light that reaches the metering sensor should be blocked from hitting the image sensor by the mirror when it's flipped up during the exposure.
100% confirmed - for my 5D3. I have done these crazy tests and most importantly - every frame I exposed (using manual focus) came out completely black. Therefore, no stray light from the "metering leakage" is getting to the sensor. I even did a 120 second bulb exposure with direct sunlight onto the LCD panel at ISO800 and only the slightest stray light was witnessed and that was found to come through the VF cover – so it isn't perfect either. When I removed this tiny VF leak, a 256 second bulb exposure got absolutely nothing. To put in context, a proper exposure was 1/1000 second at f/8.

If we combine the majoritarian seats with the party list, we can now see the party-breakdown of the Georgian Dream Coalition. Also, as Government appointees have to resign their seats as MPs we can reflect on how the composition of the government might be affected by this list and vice-versa.Tuesday, 02 October 2012
Under the current system government appointments (of PM and Ministers) are supposed to result from a negotiation between the President and the Parliament. However, under the constitution the President can force his choices for PM and Ministers on the Parliament if he is determined to do so. The current political realities make this unlikely. However, this power imbalance mean that the new parliament will find it hard to ignore the President and, if the government is to move forward, conciliation and compromise will have to be the order of the day.Sunday, 30 September 2012
In the 2008 Georgian Parliamentary election, Georgia's Mixed Majoritarian System helped UNM to win 69 out of 73 majoritarian seats. As a result, with 59% of the national vote they got 79% of the seats in parliament. The opposition, by comparison, got 41% of the vote and only got 21% of the seats. Understanding exactly why this happened in 2008 can help one to understand how votes will convert into seats in 2012.

Today's weather forecast: Dreamy
1. Be respectful of the noise level and ambience in the restaurant.
2. Never use your chopsticks to point at anyone or anything.
3. When passing food from one plate to another, use the blunt, higher end of your chopsticks (the end that has not come in contact with your mouth) and place it on your guest's plate.
4. Do not play with your chopsticks.
5. Do not use flash photography.
6. When taking a phone call, go outside and talk. Apologize to the chef before you leave your seat (so he knows that you are stepping away and he can hold the next course).
7. Feel free to ask the chef questions about the cuisine to show that you are interested: "Where is this fish from?" "When is the usual season?" "How else is it usually prepared?" Most chefs like diners who take a genuine interest in their food. Build rapport. However, observe how busy the chef is and be aware of when to engage him in conversation.
8. It is perfectly acceptable to eat sushi with your hands. Sushi started off as finger food.
9. It is equally acceptable to eat sushi with chopsticks. Don't squeeze the sushi too hard; handle gently with care.
10. Both sashimi and sushi must be eaten in one bite. If the piece is too big, do not be afraid to ask the chef to cut it in half for you (although a proper sushi chef would adjust the size of each piece according to the customer).
11. Do not disassemble the sushi. It is a piece of art.
12. If you use the small soy sauce dish, fill it with a small amount of sauce as needed. Do not overfill.
13. Do not put wasabi into the soy sauce dish.
14. Most sushi chefs will apply nikiri shoyu, sauce, salt, or the appropriate condiments on top of the sushi. Therefore it may not be necessary to dip your sushi in soy sauce at all. When in doubt, ask the chef.
15. When eating sashimi, you may apply a small amount of wasabi directly onto the piece of fish. Pick it up with your chopsticks, and lightly dip one end of the fish into the soy sauce. Only a small amount of sauce is necessary to enhance the flavor of the fish. Do not submerge the fish.
16. When eating a piece of sushi that requires you to dip it in soy sauce:
17. When eating sushi, rotate it with your fingers or chopsticks upside down so that the fish side comes in direct contact with your tongue.
18. Eat your freshly prepared sushi as quickly as possible. Do not let it sit for a long time. The flavor of the fish begins to deteriorate with time.
19. It is impolite to leave food on your plate, even if it's only a grain of rice.
20. Gari (pickled ginger) is a palate cleanser. It should be eaten between bites, not together with your sushi or sashimi.

Princess and the Frog Memory Game
Where are Tiana, Ray, and Mama Odie? The answers are in the cards. But don't worry, there's no black magic needed here -- just memory!
- Print out the memory game on regular paper or cardstock and cut out all of the pieces.
- Scramble up the order of the cards and place them face down on a table or flat surface. The object of the game is to find all of the matching pairs of cards.
Select two cards and turn them over. If both cards are the same, remove them from the game and continue playing. If the cards don't match, turn them over and try again. The game is over when you have matched all of the pairs and all of the cards are gone.
Option 2: Playing with Two or More
The first player selects two cards and turns them over. If the cards match, they are removed from the board. Play continues until he or she turns over cards that don't match. Then Player 2 begins his or her turn. The game is over when all of the cards are gone. The winner is the player who has matched the most cards.

Two years ago, Chris Sale was the 13th pick in the amateur draft; just two months later, he joined the Chicago White Sox and hasn't seen the minor leagues since. Because he's been really, really good.
In college, Sale was a starter. But upon his signing with the White Sox, they turned him into a relief pitcher. Which worked, in the sense that reliefing got him to the majors so quickly. Not to mention his 2.58 ERA over his first two major-league seasons and 94 innings.
But with the departure of free-agent Mark Buehrle last winter, the White Sox had an opening in their rotation.
Chris Sale filled the opening this spring, and filled it well. In five starts, Sale's got a 2.81 ERA and (surprisingly) a better strikeout-to-walk ratio (3.6) than he'd posted as a reliever. It's hard to imagine a reliever-to-starter conversion going much better than this one.
Except now he's converting back. Spencer Fordin (via MLB.com):
The White Sox have re-evaluated Chris Sale's current role with an eye toward his long-term success. Chicago announced Friday that Sale will be moved out of the rotation and into the closer's role in an effort to lessen his strain and make sure that his left pitching elbow stays healthy.
Now, though, Sale will work as Chicago's closer. The White Sox have decided that Dylan Axelrod will get the first chance to take Sale's vacant rotation slot, which comes up again on Sunday. Hector Santiago, who had been working as the closer, will now pitch in middle relief for Chicago.
As South Side Sox notes, Sale's recently lost a bit of zip on his fastball, and suffered from "a slightly tender elbow area".
Maybe the White Sox are being too careful with Sale, but they're in the best position to know what's best for Sale's oh-so-valuable left elbow. He might be the first starting pitcher in history to take a 2.81 ERA to the bullpen, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily the wrong move.

Chris Matthews Speculates Herman Cain Sexually Harassed Women While Drunk
Appearing on Wednesday's NBC Today, MSNBC Hardball host Chris Matthews urged Herman Cain to admit to sexually harassing women and even predicted what the Republican front-runner might say: "I think even if it's really bad he has to put the context to it. He has to say, 'It was an extraordinary night, I had too many drinks, I normally don't act like that, this is not me.'" [Audio available here; view video after the jump]
The segment began with co-host Matt Lauer going after Cain for suggesting racial motivations behind the dredged up accusations: "He believes race is playing a role in this but he has no proof to support that. Is that a dangerous statement on his point?" Matthews replied: "I think he's struggling to come up with some rationale why he's not talking....At some point we're going to find out, maybe by the end of the week, what he actually did that caused all of this trouble. He clearly did something wrong."
Lauer noted that voters support Cain because they think he's a "straight shooter" and noted: "...in the last several days it appears he's playing a game of semantics. Is this going to hurt him?" Matthews argued: "Yes, it's built the story, it's built it to a crescendo. When it finally comes out what actually happened, it's going to be a much bigger crash to him....he's the David against Goliath. If this story turns out that he's Goliath, that he abused his authority as head of an association, it's going to hurt him badly."
Here is a transcript of the November 2 exchange:
MATT LAUER: Chris Matthews is host of MSNBC's Hardball and he's also the author of the new book, "Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero." Chris, good to see you, good morning.
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Matt, thanks.
LAUER: Herman Cain says he believes race is playing a role in this but he has no proof to support that. Is that a dangerous statement on his point?
MATTHEWS: Well, I think he's struggling to come up with some rationale why he's not talking. I still think, Matt, that this has two aspects to it, the hunt for him, the hunt for the information, which is almost a Perry Mason case, and what actually happened. At some point we're going to find out, maybe by the end of the week, what he actually did that caused all of this trouble. He clearly did something wrong.
LAUER: In one of the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal polls that Herman Cain did pretty well in, we asked voters what it was about him that they like, and a lot of them said that he is a straight shooter.
MATTHEWS: Right.
LAUER: And now in the last several days it appears he's playing a game of semantics. Is this going to hurt him?
MATTHEWS: Yes, it's built the story, it's built it to a crescendo. When it finally comes out what actually happened, it's going to be a much bigger crash to him. But there's – you the question is – he's kind of a David and Goliath, he's the David against Goliath. If this story turns out that he's Goliath, that he abused his authority as head of an association, it's going to hurt him badly.
LAUER: He says fundraising has not been damaged by this, raised a half a million dollars on Monday alone. Do you think he needs to get out there and sit down with someone and do one full scale interview, lay it all on the line, whether the truth is pretty or not, before one of these accusers gets out there and speaks?
MATTHEWS: Right, I think even if it's really bad he has to put the context to it. He has to say, 'It was an extraordinary night, I had too many drinks, I normally don't act like that, this is not me.' But he has to say it, you're right, that way.

"He believes race is playing a role in this but he has no proof to support that."
And don't you dare give me this happy horsesh*t about some fool showing up with a sign.
The Republican Party was HOME to the OVERWHELMING majority of American blacks until the 1960's - And the timing of the break is INEXPLICABLE since it was DEMOCRATS WHO FILIBUSTERED CIVIL RIGHTS IN '64 & '65...
Oh.. Wait... PROGRESSIVES WROTE THE HISTORY BOOKS, RAN THE PRESS, AND PROPAGANDIZED THAT TRUTH AWAY, DIDN'T THEY?
The KKK was started by DEMOCRATS as a DOMESTIC TERROR ARM OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY...
Funny how that's been FORGOTTEN, huh?
I, for one, and raising my chidren - even here in MA - to KNOW THE TRUTH.

If anyone would know about using alcohol as an excuse for questionable behavior, it's Prissy. It's bad enough that he spews this idiotic crap on his own show, now he's forum shopping to spread his spittly ignorance to a larger audience.

This is what happens when conservative candidates . . .
Submitted by Galvanic on Wed, 11/02/2011 - 10:50am.
. . . are unprepared to answer questions about past conduct.
The feeble minded like Matthews, Schultz, Maddow, and just about every MSM anchor with too much time on their hands, start speculating and feeding on each others wild speculations.
Matthews introduces alcohol. Papantonio calls Cain a "disgusting old sex freak."
Is it right? Of course not. But unfortunately it's the nature of the American political arena, and conservative candidates have to be ready to play aggressively in it.
The Left has the same treatment planned for Rubio if he changes his mind and gets into the race as either a Presidential or VP candidate.
To the white masters of the Left, Palin, Cain, and Rubio are traitors to the respective group stereotypes that have been crafted for them.

allow them to say all the things they'd like to have said about the Kennedys, Clintons and other Democrat deviates, but couldn't due to fear of reprisal from their puppet masters.

Same game -- different rules
Submitted by Galvanic on Wed, 11/02/2011 - 3:21pm.
I actually think that many of them -- like Matthews and Schultz -- don't see the difference in their treatments of like stories. Matthews is so enthralled with "Jack" Kennedy (His book came out this week) and Schultz is so in love with Obama, that they would never even think of writing or uttering negatives stuff about their private lives.
The rules a politician is subjected to by the MSM has everything to do with which team he/she plays for.

Not Drunk...

I heard from reliable sources that Cain was high on medical paint thinner, airplane glue, spicy kielbasa, and PCP. Do not follow his trip to the bathroom!

So at what point...
Submitted by LinTaylor on Wed, 11/02/2011 - 11:34am.
I have to say, this whole thing with Mr. Cain has me wondering something. Not whether he actually harass these phantom women, of course. What I want to know is, with all these clowns like Chris Matthews and Matt Lauer acting like he DID do something despite the incredible murkiness of the accusations, how long is it before Herman can sue these clowns for slander?

Submitted by almostacowboy on Wed, 11/02/2011 - 11:39am.
While Cain is not my pick, I'm increasingly disappointed by their tone, projecting "disastrous" results and dodging any idea that there may not be much to this.
Having said that, now I understand one of the "ladies'" ambulance chasers has said he "believes Mr. Cain has violated the confidentiality agreement" - translation: We're going to throw more fuel on the fire.
I don't know why Herman didn't make full disclosure immediately. I'm sick of all this already.

This is a well thought out
Submitted by buddyc on Wed, 11/02/2011 - 12:14pm.
This is a well thought out and fully prepared hit job involving Obama's campaign and their media allies. It starts with Politico, escalates to "entertainment" news and then moves to real news. WIthin a few weeks the women will come forward. There are too many rich liberals willing to pay them millions for them not to come forward. So I doubt Cain will be able to sue anyone.
I would love to see Romney, Huntsman or Perry or Newt or Bachman standing up for Cain. They can't. What if the charges are really bad? Cain is on his own. No one can help him. He is going to have to sink or swim dealing with this. So far he is losing the fight. I hope he can turn things around.
A Perry/Cain, Romney/Cain, Cain/Romney or Cain/Perry ticket will beat Obama as would the same group with Rubio as the VP. That is why you have the attacks on Rubio and Cain. There is no viable woman because the media has already destroyed Palin and Bachman. The attacks are only going to grow and expand. Progressives/Media want two old white men to run on the republican side. They will never allow there to be a woman/black/hispanic on the ticket. NO WAY.

Chris Has Clearly Never Been Accused of Sexual Harassment
Submitted by Avitar on Wed, 11/02/2011 - 11:43am.
Sexual Harrasment accusations are generally sparked by a social policy disagreement. I was once accused over a disagreement that using a keyboard should be a union only job. I was fortunate that I was never in the same room as the woman leveling the charge with fewer than sxz other people. But usually an acusation is a union toolto hurt the nonunion employeee. Just as the NOW always went to bat for Bill Clinton no matter how guilty he was the same is true of Union members since their union dues go to support the goals of radical feminists.
The number one targer of Liberal feminists is almost certainly Black Republicans.

In one chair you have a reputed bi-sexual pervert interviewing another "expert" in the other chair who is a reputed alcoholic over allegations that Hermain Cain sexually harassed two women 15-20 years ago and whether Cain's alleging he is being attacked because he is black. It just so happens the two having the discussion are whites and Herman Cain is black.
That is rich isn't it.

Here is why Cain is correct
Submitted by buddyc on Wed, 11/02/2011 - 12:34pm.
Here is why Cain is correct and this is racism.
The media is attacking Cain not just because he is black but because he is both black and a republican. If he were a "white" republican he would not be attacked. They fear that a black or hispanic or a woman on the republican ticket is dangerous to their candidate.
When you attack someone solely because of his/her race or because of their gender that is sexism or racism.
The proof is:
Edwards vs Cain
Kennedy vs Thomas or Cain
Clinton vs Thomas or Cain
Biden vs Cain
The attacks were purely based on race! Lauer and Matthews ignore the obvious proof.

The kind of speculative invective spewed by the likes of Matthews, Stewart, Olbermann, et al should get them censored or canned.
I will guarantee that shortly someone will come up with Cain's inebriation as fact.
