Volcanic eruptions formed the Canary Islands, just off the coast of Africa. The smaller of the two main islands, Lanzarote is unique in natural beauty and rich in folkloric legend. The Genoese named the island during their 14th century visit. In 1730, a violent volcanic eruption occurred, creating six new mountains. In 1824 another massive eruption spread molten lava all over the island. It was these geographic upheavals that gave the island the unique, almost lunar landscape of the Fire Mountains, now Timanfaya National Park. View the home of César Manrique, the island's most famous artistand native son. The outside and upper level of his home, now a museum, is inspired by traditional Lanzarote architecture. Constructing buildings as organic form, the interior spaces of his home utilize five volcanic bubbles for the main rooms.

It's been 22 years since the International AIDS Conference was last held in the United States. That's going to change in July when AIDS 2012 is coming to Washington, DC, thanks to the end of the discriminatory ban on HIV positive visitors to the U.S. HRC, along with many others, worked to repeal that ban in 2009. Now HRC will proudly take part in the conference activities.Continue Reading ►

So, I was supposed to come back and open up the ask/submit for the people who wanted to ask questions/submit things, etc, but I got caught in a rut of depression and completely forgot.
Both are open now, though.
So since it is cosplay season, you'll be seeing a lot more cosplay things, tutorials on how to make things, and more on the blog.

can somebody tell me is anyone selling a godtier jade shirt? ill pay anything under like 50 maybe 35-40?? im a size smallish and I can resize if I need to :D
They're probably not many people who sell them, but whatpumpkin sells god tier jade shirts. They sell them here for $20.00 USD!

Okay so when I posted the original post, here, it was about a week or so before my laptop screen broke so I haven't been able to get on much since all I have is a shitty family desktop computer and a tablet.
We still need new mods since nobody has applied yet, too, because running this all by myself this year isn't going to be something I can do. If it happens, it's going to update very rarely.
I have been popping on and making a huge list of videos for everyone on cosplay tips, how-to's, tutorials, etc. So it should be out sometime around Christmas.
-Mod Sol
Hey so this is relevant again because I've been super busy lately. Please if you're interested submit something!
-Mod Sol
Paradise makeup, if you are not familiar with it, is basically a body paint that not many Homestucks have heard of/use. I have no idea why, since they seem very amazing, if a big dark at first. If you want to read the rest, it is under the cut.
A lot of cosplayers have had trouble with her jewelry, and I don't really like the look of the craft foam and gold paint. I found some really cheap gold ankle cuffs and bracelets (1), (2) and two different necklaces for her (1), (2)
We are ready for your submissions!
First of all, there is no reason to resend the same ask. It takes a while to get around to all the questions that are in the inbox. Just be patient.
Second, I've never personally made a knight cosplay (nor will I probably ever), so I literally googled it for you. Here's some tutorials that I found.
Lastly, please be more specific in your asks next time! I don't know if you only wanted a hood/cape tutorial, or if you wanted to figure out how to construct the shirt or what.
I hope this helps!
I'm going to start this answer with the disclaimer that I've never made a thief hood, nor have I made god tier wings. All I can offer are the tutorials I've found and the little experience I have from making hoods.
Just remember to always line your hood! It looks cleaner and it's easier to stuff the back to get it to stand up.
I hope this helps!
This is black lipstick.
Not any black lipstick though, its only $9.95 on etsy from a lovely store named Etherealle.
Im sure if you've ever purchased black lipstick before the main issue is getting something very pigmented that won't rub off easily. Well, this is the perfect stuff. In the photo I only had to apply one layer of it and it rolled on smoothly and doesn't feel oily or waxy at all!
I've taken a drink of sweet tea, kissed and touched my lips with my fingers just before this picture,and its still black as my soul.
Not only is it the dream lipstick, Etherealle also included a small sample baggy of blush that normally costs $2.80 in their shop for free! (As if the lipstick wasnt perfect enough.)
So heres a link to their shop for all of you lipstick lovers and cosplayers in need.
hey in case anyone was wondering where to find socks for Tricksters Jane and Jake I've found some over-the-knee socks at Sock Dreams
Jane (Neon Pink and Turquoise)
I've never bought anything from Sock Dreams before, but these fairly cheep
fair warning, they only come in one size, so I'm not sure what leg types they'll work for, but I sure hope they do the trick!

Lacking the moral indignation and militant politics of Lee's former work, this vibrantly colorful father-son melodrama is soft at the center, but it's one of the most accessible films Lee has made and Denzel Washington is terrific.
At the end of Mr. Lee's movie, all you feel is the distraction of Mr. Lee's stylistic exhibitionism, without which, I concede, he might not be regarded as a genius in some quarters.
[Lee] gets a charming performance from Allen, who, in his acting debut, occupies his pedestal with grace and diffidence.
As usual, Lee tries many kinds of stylistic effects and uses wall-to-wall music (by Aaron Copland and Public Enemy); what's different this time is how personally driven the story feels.
Most scenes play too long, with a surplus of ideas, textures, tones and characters, and after 134 minutes it's clear Lee's problem with closure hasn't gone away.
Washington's Jake Shuttlesworth looks tough and hard, an odd but refreshing turn for an actor long associated with handsomely heroic roles.
Lee's attack on how big business is not only ruining the game he loves but also playing with people's lives is direct and brave, while his passion, insight and intelligence are evident and admirable.
Though too long by a good half hour, Lee's latest film packs a genuine emotional punch.
Lee paints intimate characters who are about more than the game. Themes of integrity, honesty, loyalty and familial love are woven through the film resulting in a complex, thought-provoking human drama.
Shrewdly exposes the underbelly of college recruiting and the pressures exerted on talented high school basketball stars.
It is a wonderful thing to watch two artists work so well together. I am speaking, in this case, of Spike Lee and Denzel Washington.
The hypocritical misogyny of He Got Game is a fundamental weakness that reviewers so far have been happy to downplay or even to dismiss.
Lee should have drawn up a tighter game plan but just the same his hoops hoopla still has enough game (mostly in the form of Washington) to win over the audience.
Only a director as good as Spike Lee could make a coherent movie out of this messy, jejune set-up ...
You can be sitting on top of the world but if your heart is weighed down with hate, you're going to be one sorry, sad soul for a very long time.
Audience Reviews for He Got Game
"He Got Game" may just seem like just another basketball movie but underneath the hood is a compelling story about tension between a father and son. And for the most part, the story sells itself. Coupled with the great Denzel and even Ray Allen, there's a lot of opportunity. However, because this film was made near the beginning of the permeation of black culture into Hollywood, it fails to develop a true tone that encapsulates what black culture is truly about. Don't get me wrong -- Spike Lee vividly portrays the culture through the narrative, but the writing and the score becomes extremely tacky. Raw and gritty scenes occur throughout which is, at times, shocking but it's all paired with a very "Disney" like music. It's extremely jarring.
In the end, it's all about how effective the movie was. And was it? Absolutely. With the sharp direction from the eyes of Spike Lee, to the superb acting from Denzel, "He Got Game" not only sells itself as a captivating story, but also as a solid film.
Super Reviewer
Super Reviewer
The movie explores how everyone - agents, politicians, legal guardians, even girlfriends - scrambles to get a piece of the possible glory and money behind a rising high school basketball star. But it also maintains a central focus on the basketball star and how close he is to reaching his dreams. This allows for an interesting mix in tones, where the character's field of dreams mixes with the harsh reality of the sport as a commercial entity, filled with people who's only goal, like in all business, is to make money.
At the heart of it all is Denzel Washington, a convicted murderer who happens to be this young star's father. He is let out on temporary parole to try and get his son to sign with a particular university basketball team. If he does, he might be released permanently. Regardless of the outcome, this allows the father to find some redemption in helping his son figure out his life. The end is anti-climactic, but beautifully executed, displaying Spike Lee at his artistic best.

Great bag for the price. Great quality and nice size.
Bag itself is absolutely wonderful, HOWEVER, a sticker was placed on the bag stating "free tissue paper" and when I peeled off the sticked, some of the bag came with it! I bought several and each time the sticker would not easily peel off.
Well constructed!
GREAT message!!
Such a beautiful bag to give a gift in!
Sturdy, more lovely in "real" than even the photos. Using them for family gifts.

I graduated from the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of California, Davis, in 2010, with an emphasis in Small Animal Medicine. Professionally, I enjoy the variety of general practice, but also have an interest in Neurology and Dermatology. My personal interests include attempting to bake, rollerblading, rubber stamp collecting, and taking my Catahoula cross, Dallas, on long walks on the beach. I have been working as an Associate Veterinarian with Banfield since July 2010.

When Iggy Campos opened his fine dining Spanish restaurant in Edinburgh in 1989 it was the talk of the town. But 20 years on, Iggy's dream is a distant memory and the dated restaurant is haemorrhaging cash. Fernando attempts to drag Iggy out of the 80s and re-invigorate his passion in an attempt to salvage the business. His master plan is to get managers Leigh and Marco to take on more significant roles. But can Fernando persuade the restaurateur to let go of his past?

So let me get this straight - according to the Adirondack Mountain Club, the presence of float planes on Lows Lake was ruining the "wilderness experience" of canoeists; and this is why the organization pushed a lawsuit which led to the current APA decision that will ban float-plane access to the lake in 2011.
Their argument was a bit more complex - using the State Land Master Plan as a primary reason - but this is what it boils down to.
This whole issue has me totally perplexed. There are so many bizarre elements of the environmental argument on this issue that it would require a treatise by Bertrand Russell to sufficiently go through them all. But I will make an effort to highlight some of the most interesting and paradoxical elements.
First of all, Lows Lake is in itself not a "natural" entity. It exists only because of two man-made dams which block the flow of the Bog River.
This is intriguing, because by default anyone canoeing Lows Lake is not having a "wilderness experience" by definition. They should just as well be paddling around a swimming pool.
Another bizarre element revolves around the arbitrary standards the Mountain Club uses to define acceptable technology for a "wilderness experience."
No one is going to argue that a canoe is a manufactured tool, created by humans to serve a purpose. An airplane also fits this definition.
Instead, the standards used by the environmental organizations hinges on level of complexity.
They assume that a canoe is a more "natural" tool simply because it is more antiquated technology.
So if I have this right, 17th century technology is fine, but 20th is much to modern to allow for one to actually enjoy the wilderness.
The inherent paradox of this is that the canoes being used are often composed of far more modern technology than the aircraft themselves. Tom Helm's Cessna is not made of composite, space-age materials after all.

Just two years ago gift shopper still favored brick-and-mortar stores for their purchase, but a new report from Unity Marketing shows that online shopping venues are now consumers primary "go-to" destination for gift buying.
"Not too long ago, the conventional wisdom held that consumers might do research online, but they preferred to make purchases in physical locations that would allow them to leave with gift in hand," says Pam Danziger, president of Unity Marketing and author of the report. "Today, the opposite is true. Gifting consumers are looking for the convenience of being able to research and make a purchase without interrupting their day with a shopping trip. Combined with the ability of online shopping destinations to offer unique or special products that might be costly to offer in a physical store, this is a powerful reason for marketers to invest in their online presence."
The report, based on a survey of 1,939 recent gift buyers, shows that 52% of consider online sites to be their regular "go-to" destination for gift purchases, replacing discount department stores like Wal-Mart, Kmart, and Target. That's up from 39% in 2010.
When asked about special store features that make a destination more attractive for gift shopping, the stand-out trend in 2012 is the importance of online access, Unity Marketing reported.
Gift shoppers biggest need in a shopping destination is an easy and convenient shopping experience, which gives online shopping an advantage.
One of the biggest movers in the survey results in terms of importance is that retailers offer internet access to the products and services it offers.

Position: 56° 37'.280N 006° 03'.680W
Distance Travelled: 34 NM
Today's blog comes pre-curry and post-chocolate pudding, which was served on deck with a cup of tea, as we headed for the Cairns of Coll on the last voyage of the trip. Despite the shonky forecast, the morning started brightly and the Cairns of Coll were visible from last night's mooring at Loch na Droma Buidhe. As we approached the Cairns, mist and cloud were followed by the onset of rain. A quick circuit around the Cairns and we headed back east towards Tobermory. The visibility dropped, the sea state increased to 4 or 5, which was caused by the wind against the tide. We were soon again into calmer waters where we resumed surveying; we motored through the murk and arrived at the pontoons at Tobermory at 14.30. Total sightings for the day: a few porpoises. After cleaning Silurian, including scrubbing the decks, we manoeuvred around the pontoon and out to our mooring, where we are now.
We're all looking forward to our curry this evening, although it is raining and we will get wet. We're also looking forward to not having to clean up after our evening meal, or cooking it… Roll on the vegetable pakoras!

I'm not sure what 'bona fide' is doing there; it may have a special meaning in the field of corporate finance. It means 'in good faith' (that is, sincere/trustworthy/honest/well-intentioned). It is a Latin phrase, but normally pronounced in Br English /'bǝʊnǝ 'faɪdi:/.
'All-cash' in this context doesn't necessarily mean 'made up of only coins and notes'; it means that the offer is for a specific amount of money (and doesn't include, for example, an exchange of stocks).

ISTANBUL -- The largest city in Turkey will play host to GLORY 15 later today. Once the capital of four empires, it's only fitting that on Saturday night (April 12, 2014), the city will serve as the backdrop to the four fighters vying to become the GLORY light heavyweight champion.
The pride of Turkey, Gokhan Saki, will be facing Nathan Corbett in the opening round of the GLORY 15 light heavyweight tournament on Saturday night inside Ulker Arena, with full support of the city, let alone the crowd. The last time he fought in a GLORY tournament, he was at heavyweight and was upset by eventual tournament winner Rico Verhoeven in the semifinals. The knockdown in the first round was a very controversial one, and it still doesn't sit well with "The Rebel."
"After this eight count I get, I was not myself anymore and this was October, it's the past and I don't want to talk about it" the Turkish fighter told MMAmania.com after Thursday's press conference at The Hotel Suadiye. "People who understand kickboxing, a referee who understands how to be a referee, they see that there was something wrong. That's it. Rico won and I am happy for him."
Saki has a noticeable chip on his shoulder, a fierce brooding presence and is very direct when he talks. There is no beating around the bush with him. It is clear that loss still pisses him off, which is not exactly surprising among combat sport athletes. The No. 2-ranked GLORY light heavyweight has undergone some changes since that loss in October at GLORY 11. For starters, he moved to Dubai to seek a change and also, he dropped down to a weight class he hasn't fought at in almost 10 years.
Now sporting a record of 79-16-0 with 56 career knockouts, the 30-year-old fighter gave his reasons behind the move.
"The decision was for me to prove myself at 95 kilos," he explained, brimming with confidence. "Heavyweights, I'm fighting 10 years for the heavyweight and always difference like 15, 20 Kilos. At 95 kilos, I know and I feel that I can show so much more what kickboxing is. That's why I chose 95 kilos and I'm going to show people there is more inside me to show about kickboxing."
Saki has more than held his own against the crème de la crème of the heavyweights in the kickboxing world throughout his career. He has faced all the greats: Badr Hari, Remy Bonjasky, Daniel Ghita, Semmy Schilt and Peter Aerts, among others.
Does he feel he will have an advantage by bringing that experience down to a lighter weight division?
"You will see on Saturday," Saki stated with his usual intense expression. "I don't fight for 10 years at this weight and I feel strong and I am faster than when I am 105. You will just have to wait two days and after two days you can tell by yourself."
Many fighters may have taken a lesser challenge after dropping down to a new division, but not Saki. Being one of kickboxing's elite competitors, he only wishes to face the very best each time out, and all the fighters in the GLORY 15 tournament are ranked in the top 10 of the division.
"I'm at a level where you only need to fight big fighters," he said. "For me, I don't like to fight someone who doesn't have a name, who doesn't have experience. I want a challenge. That keeps me sharp."
While the Mike's Gym fighter wants to test himself against the elite in the GLORY lightweight division and could potentially face the No. 1-ranked GLORY light heavyweight, Tyrone Spong, in the final to decide who will be the GLORY light heavyweight champion and become $200,000 dollars richer, he made it clear at the presser that all his focus is on Corbett.
"The biggest mistake fighters usually make is to think about the final too early," Saki said. "We are professional sportsmen and we should proceed one match at a time, so the main threat for me is with Nathan. As for the others, we will see when it comes on Saturday."
The last time "The Rebel" fought in front of a raucous Turkish crowd was a little over a year ago at GLORY 6. He came out draped in the Turkish flag and defeated Daniel Ghita via technical knockout in the second round. Saki admitted he has "missed" the feeling of the crowd behind him and revealed that he considers that GLORY 6 victory the "best event in my life."
"That shows me why I do kickboxing," Saki said, his eyes widening. "That's what I need. That's what we fighters need. The respect that we get and here you get it. That gives me the will power. In the U.S., it is also like this, but this is my own people. For me, more power."
Saki easily garnered the most attention and was asked the most questions out of all the fighters on the dais. In fact, GLORY announcer Tim Hughes had to remind those attending the presser that there were other fighters available for questioning. For the Turkish media in attendance, Saki was their only interest. It is his week, his native country and all his fans are expecting him to come out strong at GLORY 15.
Will that add any pressure on him leading up to Saturday's fight against Corbett in the opening round?
"No," he answers, shaking his head. "I feel good. This is my place. This is my house. People talk: pressure this, pressure that. I feel nothing. I feel the good pressure. The pressure that a fighter needs to have, but no more than that."

F17 Might Be The Beefy Miracle To The Precise Pangolin
Published on 06 October 2011 07:04 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
1 Comment
Yesterday there was the announcement by Mark Shuttleworth that
Ubuntu 12.04 is codenamed Precise Pangolin
. But what will its friendly competition be called? The voting is taking place right now for the Fedora 17 codename. Beefy Miracle is again a contender for the next release of this Red Hat sponsored Linux distribution.
Last month there was
the call for name suggestions for Fedora 17
. A lot of names were suggested, which can be found on
the Fedora Project Wiki
. The names were then evaluated, had to clear Red Hat legal review, and were then narrowed down to a few candidates. This week Fedora contributors have now been asked to vote on the Fedora 17 codename.
The candidates for the Fedora 17 codename include:
- Alpharabius
- Beefy Miracle
- Gernsback
- Liege
- Never
- Panguipulli
- Rocky Ripple
- Tubeteika
So Canonical's April 2012 release of Precise Pangolin might be up against a Beefy Miracle or Rocky Ripple, among others. Beefy Miracle was
a possible codename for Fedora 16
, but in the end
it was called Verne
with the "Beefy Miracle" name being the second most popular choice.
There's even still
an entire campaign site
dedicated towards having a Fedora codename be the Beefy Miracle. Fedora contributors seem to be die-hard carnivores, based upon such names. Prior to the Beefy Miracle,
it was all about the Bacon
. Bacon was talked about since Fedora 11, up until the Beefy Miracle was conceived. Thus there's still hope for an eventual Fedora "Schweinshaxe" release. And when Fedora codenames aren't about meat, the other proposals tend to be rather... unique; Panguipulli, Llullaillaco, Gutzwiller, etc.
Next week the winning choice for the Fedora 17 codename will be officially announced. Meanwhile, Fedora 16 "Verne" is due out next month and coming next week is the Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" release.
As some news aside from this light-hearted fun,
Ubuntu is now preparing
for the opening of Ubuntu 12.04 "Precise Pangolin" development.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Chinese city residents dodge activists by eating dog meat ahead of controversial festival
BEIJING, China - Residents in a southern Chinese city that has come under fire for an annual summer solstice festival in which thousands of dogs are slaughtered for food have held their feasts early to avoid attention.
Some residents of Yulin started gathering last weekend and eating dog meat and lychees to celebrate the longest day of the year, ahead of Saturday's actual solstice, state media reported this week. The residents wanted to avoid protests by animal rights activists.
In recent years, the festival has been targeted by activists who have drummed up public awareness of the event with posts on social media and online petitions, and descended on the city to protest outside slaughterhouses or markets where the dogs are sold.
The public uproar reflects the increasing affluence of ordinary Chinese, who keep pets, travel overseas and are changing attitudes toward traditions they may not have questioned before.
Photos on state media showed groups of Yulin city residents tucking into plates of meat and vegetables around dining tables strewn with lychees. Other photos, which circulated widely on Chinese microblogs, were of skinned, cooked dogs hanging from hooks at street stalls or piled on tables.
Under the Yulin tradition, eating dog and lychee and drinking liquor on the solstice is supposed to make people stay healthy during winter. It is unclear if the supposed health benefits diminish if the feast occurs before the actual solstice.
Animal rights activists say the event is a public health risk because the dogs undergo no quarantine to ensure they are free of disease, and that they are strays grabbed off streets around the country, as well as allegedly stolen from pet owners. The dogs are often poisoned with toxic chemicals that could be harmful to humans, they say.
Deng Yidan, an activist with Animals Asia, said the public backlash hurts the image of Yulin and China.
"Negative coverage is growing — dog theft, criminal activities, food hygiene issues, and rabies fears — not to mention the division in society between those for and against the festival — together these have brought significantly more negative publicity to Yulin than economic benefits," Deng said in a statement.
The Yulin government has sought to distance itself from the feasting, saying it is not officially endorsed. State media reports say the government told restaurants to remove references to dog meat from their menus and signboards — though it did not bar the sale and consumption of the meat, which is not illegal in China.
The government has denied the formal existence of such a festival, saying it is a culinary habit practiced only by some businesses and people.
Public pressure stopped another dog meat festival, in eastern Zhejiang province, which was cancelled in 2011 despite dating back hundreds of years.

With the announcement that Carson Palmer will be unavailable this week, the starting position is down to Matt Leinart or Terrelle Pryor. According to Leinart, he deserves to start this weekend. "I just think in this situation, I think I deserve to play, I deserve to start. Not sure what's going to happen, but that's all you can do — just keep preparing, keep working hard, be here, be accountable and whatever happens, whatever decision is made, that's what's made. You can't do anything about it," Leinart said, via CBSSports.com. "So if they want to start Terrelle and evaluate him and see what he can do, then I'll support that, and I'll help him this week and help him during the game. But if they make me the starter, I'm just going to go out there and try to capitalize on that opportunity." Leinart has been everything but impressive since be drafting in 2006. The former USC star was drafted by Arizona before being replaced by Kurt Warner. While in Arizona multiple reports came forward that Leinart was lazy and more focused on partying than working to improve himself. Leinart left Arizona following the 2009 season. From there, Leinart signed with Houston before joining the Raiders this off-season. Whether or not Leinart thinks he is going to impress a team enough to sign him as a starter is beyond me. However, I think Leinart will never be anything but a backup. The post Matt Leinart: I deserve to start appeared first on DOWN & DISTANCE.

Amazing pictures, gives us a great idea who it must have felt being there.
I couldn't help but notice the yet unprocessed "Burke Tube" (to become the tri-ladder shaft near engineering?) in the shot with the 35mm camera Matt Jefferies used so often in the series. I was previously only aware of these "Burke Chairs":
"Burke" really looks like ACME - a company making everything.
Is it sonotube, the stuff they use for pouring concrete? It gets used in movies when you want cheap cylinder shapes (there are very small sonotubes in the wall of Kirk's TWOK quarters, where they have the little cabinets on the front.)
I'm thinking they were used in FOR THE WORLD IS HOLLOW and maybe THE DEADLY YEARS as well for structures on planet surfaces. Had no idea that the Burke people did anything like that (and can't find anything online about them doing that either.)
These kinds of stories always make me think of the late Joan Winston's account of being on-set during TURNABOUT INTRUDER. Kelley comes off like an utter prince, no surprise, and it seemed like everybody was pretty nice considering they were all (except I guess Nimoy) going on unemployment next week.

MOUNT HOPE - A large sum of money and drug paraphernalia led to the arrest of 2 people on Saturday.
36 year old Annie Marie Hawkins and 43 year old Shannon Dale Carte, both of Hico, face felony charges for possession of a controlled substance. Corporal Gritt with the Mount Hope Police Department said he pulled over the driver of a gold Chrysler Sebring and found that the driver had a suspended license. The driver also appeared to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the stop. Officials found over $27,000 cash in the car as well as heroin, needles and spoons. Gritt said he could see most of this evidence before a search of the vehicle was even conducted.
"I saw the cash and they did have a 50" flat screen, brand new that they were leaning up against in the back of the vehicle. There were 2 cases of beer, there was a bottle of liquor that I could see from standing and talking to the driver. She was very jittery and ended up pulling a needle out of her bra area and handed it to me just as soon as she got out of the car when I asked if she had anything on her for a terry frisk," said Gritt
Mount Hope Police Officials said they will continue to crack down on drugs in the area and catch criminals who are responsible for this distribution.

iPhone app monopoly antitrust suit dismissed
A lawsuit alleging that Apple maintains a monopoly over iPhone apps was dismissed, Bloomberg reports. A judge ruled the plaintiffs couldn't legally continue the lawsuit, because plaintiffs hadn't bought the apps — though the complaint can be amended and refiled. "At a minimum, plaintiffs must allege facts showing that each named plaintiff has personally suffered an injury-in-fact based on Apple's alleged conduct," U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers wrote. The consumers filed the suit in 2011, arguing that because iPhone apps are only available within Apple's App Store, Apple holds a monopoly. A lawyer for the plaintiffs said the case can easily be refiled to meet the requirements. Apple asked for the lawsuit to be dismissed in March.

Over the past four years, Aaron Murray has garnered the reputation of not being able to win The Big Game, famously including Georgia's near-miss against Alabama in last year's national championship play-in game. Those beliefs were magnified last weekend as the Bulldogs fell to Clemson.
With the South Carolina Gamecocks coming to town this Saturday for an SEC showdown, the spotlight is squarely on Murray once again. Win the game, and UGA is right back in contention for the national title. Lose, and the senior quarterback will likely wrap up his SEC-record-breaking college career without playing in a BCS bowl game.
Put it all together and Murray's record against ranked teams is 4-11, including three losses in three years against South Carolina and just one win in postseason play.
Dig a little deeper, though, and you find Murray's reputation as a guy who doesn't show up for big games might be unwarranted. Against ranked foes, Murray's quarterback rating was 133.50 in 2012, 128.65 in 2011, and 133.42 in 2010. In 2012, he ranked fourth in the country in passer rating against BCS-conference opponents, with 166.77 over 11 games.
In the fourth quarter last season, Murray's quarterback rating was 11th best in the country. He also ranked in the top 10 in passer rating in the second half, on third down, when up by a single score, and when down by a single score. He ranked No. 1 in the month of November. His most memorable moments might be final-minute failings, but on the whole he plays very well in crunch time.
All of this is to say that while Georgia might not win The Big Game, it's rarely because Murray played poorly. Quarterbacks are always under the spotlight more than anyone else, and for better or for worse, the media and fans tend to unfairly label them at times.
On Saturday, Murray will have a chance to silence his critics and keep the Dawgs in the hunt for a national championship. Fair or not, everyone will look to him once the game is complete, win or lose.

WEST MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News) - A West Monroe man is being charged with second degree murder in the death of a two year old child.
West Monroe Police were called to Glenwood Hospital in reference to the death of a two-year-old child Friday night. The arrest affidavit reports the child "suffered major hemorrhaging at the brain stem, bilateral rib fractures, his liver was lacerated from trauma, his lungs were full of blood and his abdomen was completely filled with blood."
The child was in the care of Eric Nabors, 25, at the time and the child's mother says last saw him well with Nabors.
Nabors was contacted at Glenwood Hospital and taken to the West Monroe Police Department for questioning. He denied any abuse of the child, but said he left the child at home for approximately one hour.
Police also searched Nabors' car and suspected marijuana was located in the cup holder at the front of the vehicle.
Nabors was arrested and charged with second degree murder with specific intent, possession, and simple battery.

Angel Island
Rising from the middle of the bay, Angel Island was devastated by a 2008 fire that burned 300 of the park's 740 acres. As you explore this domed beauty, all around you'll spot signs of the land repairing itself. You can spread out a picnic in a protected cove overlooking the close but immeasurably distant urban surroundings, or explore the island on foot or bicycle.
