(Fem)RomanoXReader: Born this way 7~(Fem)RomanoXReader: Born this way 7~A week later.....You and Romano were walking down the streets of Italia, 2 AM. The wind was nice, the moon was full, and there was almost no one around. Thought, Romano know Spain and France were somewhere fallowing them. Why? This was the night she was going to do it. She was going to propose to You. She had one hand in her pocket, playing with the box, and her other hand was holding onto your's."It feels so nice out here." You smiled, looking up at the sky."I guess..." Romano said. It was hard to concentrate with many things going in her head at once."It's amazing how the streets are quiet. When I'm out and about they are normally filled." You said, trying to start conversation."One reason why I try not to go out so much." Romano replied."S-so...You seem to be getting used to the whole girl thing." You sighed."Doesn't mean I like it." Romano grumbled."Yeah....." You turned to look at the small river the two of you were passing."Hey, ____
(Fem)RomanoXReader: Born this way 4~(Fem)RomanoXReader: Born this way 4~So I came up with quite a few ideas myself, but Ideas from others are still accepted. Oh, And Grazie for the comments and watchers! Comments mean ATON to me, and a watch is just magic! I've gotten 6 watchers ever since I posted the first chapter! I Don't deserve this!~"Knock Knock" You sang as Hungary knocked on Austria's door. It was habit of yours."Hold on!" You heard Austria say as he ran over to the door and opened it to see the three of you."Hungary! You're late! And you brought other people." Austria said, looking at you and Romano."Like I said, I had to deal with something first. And I invited them so I hope there is enough food for all." Hungary said as the three of you walking into Austria's house."Don't worry, there is more then enough. Literally." Austria said."Did Fratello make 10 boxes of pasta?" Romano sighed."Surprisingly, only 5 this time. Still alot of pasta if you ask me." Austria said and you nodded your head.
(Fem)RomanoXReader: Born this way 8~(Fem)RomanoXReader: Born This Way 8~ Romano slumped over onto her bed, tired as ever. The Wedding was in 5 hours, and she was up all night. She just had to get some sleep before the wedding. Not even pulling up the covers, she just laid there and closed her eyes. Her ears blocked out the sound of the others walking back and forth outside her door. In no time, she was fully asleep
.~~"Ita! Have you seen Romano?" Hungary asked, rushing up to Italy, Seborga, and Spain."No, Is something wrong?" Italy asked."The wedding is in 30 minutes. It would help if someone knew where she was." Hungary growled."Well, where could Sorella have gone?" Sebo asked.As if that was a signal, the four heard a scream. Not a girly scream, Well, It was kinda girly, but it came from a male. It came from upstairs in the bedroom."Was
that Romano?" Spain asked."Only one way to find out." Hungary said and the four went upstairs and to the bedroo
(Fem)RomanoXReader: Born this way 6~(Fem)RomanoXReader: Born This Way 6~Sorry. Short chapter is short. School is coming up next Monday so I plan on wrapping this up. ~"Here." Romano grumbled, Placing tomato soup in front of you on the coffee table."Grazie" You smiled, taking the spoon from the soup and drinking what tomato soup was in it. You had awoken early in the morning due to a coughing fit. Romano had awoken at the same time, scared by the coughing fit, and stayed up with you. You were now in the TV room on the couch with Romano. Sighing, you were about to take another sip of soup, but you accidentally dropped the soup onto of yourself. You only let out a small gasp. Your body was too weak to really do much."B-be careful, ______!" Romano hissed, picking up the spoon and putting it back in the soup."I know...I'm sorry." You said."D-don't be, dammit." Romano sighed, taking a napkin off the coffee table and wiping the spilled soup off you."Here." Romano sighed, filling the spoon up with
(Fem)RomanoXReader: Born this way 2~(Fem)RomanoXReader: Born this way 2~it was really a ONESHOT, but I got more ideas. If you'd like me to continue, Ideas and help is needed!(I'm not writing "____ did this" anymore. that got kinda annoying. it's "you did this" now)~"Okay! I think that's the last of everyone. Meeting closed." Germany announced with a sigh. Most the nations sat up and left without hesitation, though few decided to stay. You walked over to Romano who was being annoyed by Italy, France, and Spain."Ve~ Sorella, you look bella~!" Italy said, holding his sister's hand."I think Romano looks lovely as a lady." France purred and Spain nodded his head in agreement."If I asked, will you put on one of Hungary's old dresses?!" Spain asked."NO! I am not going to wear a dress!" Romano growled."I think Romano should wear a Lolita dress." You purred."Set in stone, I will NOT wear a dress." Romano growled, turning to you."But you wore one as a child and had no complaint!" Spain reminded
(Fem)RomanoXReader: Born this way 3~(Fem)RomanoXReader: Born this way 3~Oneshot became a series. Meanwhile Zero, Poisoned Past, Pixelated, Darktalia, and When the Nations cry are planing to murder me. Zero is the guy who loves killing everything in sight, Poisoned Past is the oldest of the group, Pixelated is Poisoned Past's little sibling, When the nations cry is the guy you can't trust and Darktalia is like "Meh"IDEAS PLEASE! I. WILL. CREDIT. YOU.~ So after getting up and out of bed, you helped Romano with the period problem. It was very awkward and you ended up throwing a box of pads at Romano before storming out of the bathroom. Female Romano is really cute, but that doesn't stop the fact that Romano has a temper and can be a bitch. Male or Female. Around 9 in the morning you had made breakfast, which was cinnamon buns with icing. You also made sweet tea to drink too. Sitting on the couch with your food and drink, you flipped threw the channels and finally stopped on ID.
(fem)RomanoXReader: born this way(Fem)RomanoXReader: Born this wayI had this beautiful idea and had to write it!~ ______ Slowly stirred as the alarm went off. Turning towards the alarm, she slammed her hand down onto it, causing it to stop. After a few more seconds of groaning and deciding if she should get up or not, _____ sat up in the bed and yawn. Looking over to her right, expecting to see her boyfriend of 4 years to be sleeping, she saw a girl instead."EEK!" ____ Screamed and fell off the bed."What the hell, ____?!" The woman hissed and turned over to face ____ who was now sitting on the floor and looking over the edge of the bed."Who are you!? Where is Romano!?" _____ asked, shaking."What are you talking about? I am Roma-" Then the woman stopped. Holding her hand up to her mouth, she gasped."WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO MY VOICE!?" She screamed."R-Romano?!" ______ gasped."Why is my voice so damn high!?" Romano, the woman, cried."Y-Your..A girl?" _____ Said, slowly climbing back up on th
(Fem)RomanoX(Male)Reader: BTWS~(Fem)RomanoX(Male)Reader: Born This Way Sequel!~As you can see, I'm keeping the name. I didn't come up with a different one and truthfully, I don't want to. Also, I'm still working on the plot, so I will update when I get father into it. ~ To start this off, It's been one full year after the marriage. France still keeps the pictures of the proposal in a picture book somewhere in his house, and You still have the manga, locked in your side of the dresser. Nothing could get in between you and Romano, and If it tried too, Romano would push it away. The memory of ever being a girl was pushed back by Romano, but it would pop up once in awhile. Everyone had believed the "nightmare" was over, But no, It has only JUST begun.... Looking around, you were in the very same ball room you dreamed of before ever marrying Romano. You remember? The one where you danced with both Female and Male Romano."Miss _____! You're looking lovely toda
(Fem)RomanoX(Male)Reader: BTWS 4~(Fem)RomanoX(Male)Reader: Born This Way Sequel~Note: I realized I'm calling Romana a "she" and "(male/name)" a "he", Even if they are in the other gender's body. I just want to make sure I'm not confusing anyone. So they will be called by their actual gender, but will be in your and Romano's body. I think I'm just about stopped calling Romano a she even if he is a she. I HOPE I'M NOT CONFUSING ANYONE!~ So dismissing the confusion, the rest of the day was spent bothering England and Romania. Romana wanted to go home and (Male/name) spent a lot of his time talking to you and Romano. Romania soon left, leaving England to deal with the four of you. It wasn't long until Romano was just about ready to walk out on everyone and go home."Hey! England! I'm leaving! Ciao!" Romano yelled, grabbing your arm, about to drag you with him until England stopped him."Where do you think you're going? You need to bring them with you." England said, pointing to an unha
Romano x Reader: Lesson OneYou finished brushing your hair and checked yourself in the mirror. Your new blouse and skirt looked nice on you, even if it usually wasn't your kind of thing. The reason for wearing it though was because you were having a visitor. Okay, maybe he was only coming to teach you Italian, but still. It was sort of a big deal to you.You finished up and headed downstairs. Everything was still orderly and clean so that was a good thing. You went to the table you would be learning at and made sure it only had your textbook, pencil, and notebook.You smile to yourself, you were so happy your good friend had accepted this, he was always so sweet. Feliciano was the nicest and sweetest guy, you swore he couldn't hurt anymore. He had the most innocent face, it was too bad his brother wan't even close to being like him.A knock was on the door and you go over to the door. It was a little loud and rash for Feliciano's knocking though, weird. You unlock the door and open the door, smiling and then bli

It's Romano for crying out loud!------------------------------------------------------------------- ' Where am I? I remember that I was with Romano. Oh yeah! I accidentally fell asleep when he told me something... I wonder what it was?' you looked around your room. There was a small note near your head, so you picked up the piece of paper. Dear ___________, It seems like we weren't able to talk very much during the car ride. If I made you uncomfortable in any way, I just wanted to say that I am sorry! I'm not sure if this will mean anything to you, but America said that I should invite you as a date for his party. I told him that it was a fucking stupid idea, but... A-anyway, would you like to go with me as my date? I could understand if you don't want to. Please tell me once you've made your decision.P.s.: I took a couple of your tomatoes from yo
Fem!Romano x Reader- New school ch.1You were walking down the hallway of your new school, Gakuen Hetalia high school. Being a new student you constantly had to look down at the map the office had given you. The map read that you weren't that far from your homeroom. Walking past some other room you reached the room you had to go to. Knocking lightly on the door you rocked back and forth on the balls of your feet, very nervous. The door opened reviling a tall woman with straight blond hair and glasses. "Hello, you must be the new student, correct?" Right away you could tell she was British from her thick accent."Y-Yes." Shyly nodding you looked away from her. Of course your shyness kicked in right then and you stuttering came back. "Well come in and introduce yourself!" She smiled a warm, caring smile and went back to stand next to her desk. Walking in and closing the door behind you. Standing in front of the all-girl class she blushed and mumbled her name. "Um

It's not too graphic, but I'm warning you just in case --------------------"You would be correct, my dear~!" The strangely cheery voice startled you. You attempted to find where the voice was coming from, but you, Lovino, and Kiku were alone in Tiananmen Square. Or so you thought."Hello~!" Suddenly, the voice was right by your ear. You turned around sharply and almost shrieked in fright.Though he had not been moments before, it was Zuko who had stood right behind you. At first, you couldn't even tell it was really him. The 2P Zuko had sparkling, clear blue eyes and chocolate brown hair. He wore a vibrant purple and green striped button-down shirt with pink frills around the collar and bright yellow dress pants. Even the scar on the left side of his face was different; instead of a scar from a burn, he now had a scar that looked as if
S Italy x ReaderS Italy x ReaderRomano's face contorted in an angry fashion as you and Ludwig sat in his home with Feliciano. "How dare you bring that damn potato eater and his stupid sister into this home!" Feliciano jumped up and tried to calm his brother down. Even though he hurt your feelings all the time, you had developed a crush on the angry Italian. You watched him storm out of the room, Feliciano just let out a sad vee, and turned to you and your big brother. "Bruder
" you muttered as you looked at your brother who had his stone face on. He glanced at you then back to the Italian. "Come on Feli, we have some training to do." He and your Italian friend left and went outside. You just sat on the plush couch and sighed, waiting patiently for Ludwig to be done so he could take you home.You were a new country, attached to Germany. You had been to only one world conference, where you met all the countries, all but one who avoided you. South Italy, Romano. He would look at you once
Hetalia x Reader: The Holiday, Romano!Your smile widened when you saw Romano pull the car over to the side, you had no idea that he was going to come!' Ragazza! You coming or what?' He tried his best to sound annoyed but you could tell he was happy. Grinning you shoved your suitcases in the back of the car and jumped into the passenger seat.' TO THE BEACH ROMANOOO!' You grinned, and he smirked a bit.~~~~~~~~~~~Time skip, wheeeeeeeee~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The journey was actually really quick, or thats what you thought, Romano thought it would never end. Well wouldn't you if your the one driving and the person in the passenger seat keeps talking to themselves in spanish.' ragazza! would you stop talking in that tomato bastardo's language??!' You turned and smirked at him.' Lemme think about it.... no!! hahahah, cheer up lovi, its the beach its a beautiful day and....'You were cut off by America yelling ' WE BROUGHT A MEGA STEREO!'.

RomanoxReader-RequestRomanoxReader-RequestLovino Vargas hated art. He always claimed he did because it was boring and didn't do anyone any good. You couldn't do anything but look at it, you couldn't go places with it, and you certainly couldn't eat itunless you counted culinary art, but that was different according to your Italian friend. You, on the other hand, thought he was just being resentful towards art because it reminded him of how much better his younger brother was at it than he was. So when he told you that he was going to pay for the two of you to spend a week in Rome, you were extremely surprised at his offer considering most of Rome's attractions were historical or art-based."Get up, you stupid ragazza!" Lovino snapped and threw open the curtains letting sunshine pour inside the once-darkened hotel room. You groaned and buried your head underneath your pillow to which your friend responded by hitting you with his own pillow."The day isn't-a going to wait for your lazy ass to-a get ou

Romano asked, turning over and looking at you as you let go of her."Because Spain called." You said. Romano, remembering the last conversation she had with him, sat straight up."A-a-and what he say?" She asked."He asked if you and I wanted to join everyone at the beach." You said."Who is everyone?" Romano growled."As far as I know, Spain, Prussia, France, America, and Italy." You said."...."

Can vCenter Log Insight diagnose a slow NFS data store?
There are times when VMware's vCenter Log Insight needs a nudge to troubleshoot an underperforming vSphere data store.
Does vCenter Log Insight support NFS data stores to uncover latency issues?
Continue Reading This Article
Enjoy this article as well as all of our content, including E-Guides, news, tips and more.
By submitting you agree to receive email communications from TechTarget and its partners. Privacy Policy Terms of Use.
Administrators armed with vCenter Log Insight, VMware's log analytics product, can peer deep into their virtual and physical infrastructure to root out bottlenecks. But, like any detective, the virtual appliance can only go so far based on the evidence it gathers.
For example, an ESXi host will gather extensive logs from a data store that runs on SCSI, which can be used to pin down a latency issue. But what about Network File System (NFS) data stores?
"By default, you will not see NFS latency like you see SCSI latency" in a vCenter Log Insight dashboard, said Steve Flanders, VMware senior solutions architect, during his presentation at a recent Boston VMUG user conference. However, a sysadmin could get around this by enabling a command on the host.
Dealing with data stores
How to find the right size for your environment's data stores
What's the best number of virtual machines for a data store?
"ESX supports nfsstat3. It's another command on the ESX host itself. If you turn that on, you get very verbose logging," Flanders said. "VMware does not recommend [running nfsstat3] for extended periods of time because it logs so verbosely. So, could you get [NFS logging]? I believe so. Unfortunately, VMware doesn't make it very nice and easy."
Flanders directed attendees to the Knowledge Base article that shows how to enable the enhanced nfsstat3 logging, and explained that vCenter Log Insight was still a work in progress.
"We're working with engineering. We understand there are some limitations. NFS is one big one," said Flanders, adding, "I want better auditing. Get me more in-depth information about who's doing what. We're working with engineering to get the log messages improved."

Hi Magento team,
I think there may be a problem with internationalization.
For example, in the admin panel, in a product edition screen, if i want to delete the product, i click on 'Delete' button.
A javascript popup asks me to confirm: Are you sure?
If french translation contains a single quote, nothing happens because of a javascript error.
There are many examples like this.
We can see that in default value (en_US one), if a single quote appears in text that needs to be used in javascript, there's a backslash before it.
But for sentences that don't have single quotes in english version and are used in javascript, translators have no way to know they have to backslash their single quotes. And so, we'll have tens of javascript errors (in frontend and backend).
Is there a solution to this problem ? Or do you have to review code so that all text used in javascript will be escaped (with addslashes for example).
Any luck on getting this fixed? I see this post is from years ago.
I am having a similar issue with French translations and apostrophes with community 184.108.40.206
I'm using the French language pack. On the "Manage Categories" page in the admin, any time I use an apostrophe in an inline translation, it completely messes up the page and displays a big orange box with code outputted to the page. In order to fix it, I have to manually remove the apostrophe from the core_translate table.
This does not happen when using the English language with inline translations. And, it doesn't happen when using the French language with inline translations for the admin turned off. Only happens with French language + inline translations in the admin.

Limited by a two-term limit as governor, his inability to run for President (due to being born in Austria), and the fact that he fucked up the California economy royally, legendary action star Arnold Schwarzenegger's flirtation with politics seemed to come to an end at the start of this year. But as one of the few actors recognizable by his first name alone, and boosted by a cameo in last year's "The Expendables," even an eight-year gap between starring roles ("Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" being the last) wasn't going to prevent Arnie from being courted by the studios.Read More »
There's a part of João Pedro Rodrigues that likes to get down to brass tacks. In the first scene of his 2000 debut, O Fantasma, a dog scratches and yelps at a locked door. Cut to the action inside the room, and we see a black-suited figure right out of Feuillade, busily penetrating a man whose mouth has been stuffed with cotton. In Rodrigues's sophomore effort, Two Drifters, we're served up a series of similar shocks: a passionate farewell kiss between two men is swiftly followed by the bloody death of one of them, then by a funeral where a female stranger fellates the corpse's ring off his finger. These first two films take the universe as one big erogenous zone, in which anything—an ass, a motorcycle, the wall of a public shower, even a tombstone—is waiting to be humped. No need for foreplay; we're assaulted with the climax right out of the gate. And in its aftermath we meet another Rodrigues, one who withholds, who occludes and mystifies that sense of clear narrative purpose other filmmakers tend to reveal in bold letters. The films circle ritualistically around their initial blast of sensation. In its quest to reconcile the life of imagination and primal desire with the physical realities that close in around us, Rodrigues's cinema sets his characters off sniffing, licking, and rubbing up against this implacable world in hopes it will respond.Read More »
So unless President Obama and Speaker Boehner come to some sort of eleventh hour arrangement, the government is going to shutdown at midnight. What's it going to be like? Will the staff of the Department of Agriculture be forced into the streets of Washington, with only pitchforks and a few potato diggers to fend for themselves? The vision is bleak – to quote the hilarious Glen Weldon: "Wild-eyed Senate pages in shredded blazers will stalk the DC streets, using their khakis to garrote passersby [while] at night, the sewers echo with the keening of hollow-eyed creatures that were once Capitol Hill reporters."Read More »
Well, this is a pleasant surprise on a Friday morning -- the first trailer for the new Lars Von Trier movie, the end-of-the-world drama, "Melancholia." Coming off the single most controversial film of his career, "Antichrist," the beginning of this clip, which has debuted at the film's official site (via @TimeOutFilm), might take fans of the unpredictable Danish helmer by surprise -- it strikes one as a rather conventional wedding-set drama, reminiscent of "Rachel Getting Married," or even Dogme classic "Festen."Read More »

While we don't really see the point of a "Total Recall" remake, the casting is certainly moving in interesting directions. Colin Farrell has the lead role and just a couple of weeks ago, a bevy of beautiful women were shortlisted for the two female lead roles in the movie. As you might remember from the Paul Verhoeven version, those principle roles are: Lori, the wife of Farrell's character, Doug Quaid, who turns out to be more than she seems (a part played by Sharon Stone, in her breakout role, in the original), and Melina, who Quaid becomes romantically involved with (Rachel Ticotin in the original, although the role has been re-envisioned substantially). Kate Bosworth, Diane Kruger and Eva Mendes were said to be in the running for the former, while Paula Patton, Jessica Biel, Eva Green and Mendes (who's up for both parts) are reading for the latter. Well, it looks like one is down with one more to go.Read More »
Well, this is some pretty good karma. Josh Pence had perhaps the most unenviable role of any actor last year. He starred in David Fincher's "The Social Network" but you didn't see him. Why? He was the guy who had his head digitally replaced by Armie Hammer who played both Winklevoss twins. Bummer. But he was a good sport about it all and it looks like he's about to get some face time (ha!) in one of the biggest movies of 2012.Read More »
Well, the director's chair for the gestating "Deadpool" has been filled by some interesting folks thus far.

News on the Wachowskis' gestating adaptation of "Cloud Atlas" have been coming in fits and starts. Halle Berry, Tom Hanks and Natalie Portman were all attached last summer, but that was a while ago and priorities tend of shift.

But all that said, it looks like the Wachowskis are still putting their cast together and have potentially enlisted the assistance of a long-time collaborator.Read More »
What happens when you become hot in Hollywood is that you're able to attach yourself to a lot of projects, firstly to give yourself more options, and secondly because the material that gets sent your way tends to get better as your fame meter rises.

WPP investors challenge executive pay
WPP investors laid down a significant challenge over executive pay at the company's AGM yesterday, despite chairman Philip Lader claiming recent years have "vindicated" the value of the company's activities.
Sir Martin Sorrell: WPP chief executive
Lader, wanting to ease shareholder concerns, spoke to the company's investors about the value of investing in WPP, whose businesses include creative agencies JWT and Ogilvy, media agencies MediaCom and Maxus and PR agency Burson Marsteller.
But when given the chance to show what they thought of WPP's 2010 remuneration report, which showed more than £7m was paid out to three executives, an unusually large proportion – 41.8% – of shareholders showed their disapproval.
They were voting on the combined packages awarded to chief executive Sir Martin Sorrell, finance director Paul Richardson, and digital director Mark Read.
Sorrell received a base salary of £1.09m, and an overall remuneration package of £4.23m in 2010.
Richardson received a base salary of £637,000, and an overall package of £2.18m.
Read received a base salary of £325,000, and an overall package of £899,000.
Lader defended WPP's core marketing communications business, dismissing those who claim creative campaigns are a waste of money.
Lader said: "For as long as we can remember, there have been commentators – and sometimes thoughtful and authoritative commentators – who have believed, and claimed, that much of the expenditure on marketing communications is prompted by vanity rather than the legitimate pursuit of profit.
"We have been told that marketing was history and that brands were dead.
"If ever such an analysis was going to be tested and found to be true, it would have been over the last few years. Even in good times, our client companies don't spend money on research and marketing without sound reason.
"When times are more difficult, every last item of expenditure is examined and tested and expected to justify its existence by contributing to the maintenance of commercial health."
He went on to say that the "company's continuous pursuit of creative excellence" is "driven by the demonstrable fact that good ideas – the managed application of the imagination – make our clients' money go further. Inventiveness has a huge value."
In terms of financials, WPP reported that revenues for the first four months of the year were up 6% year on year. They climbed 7% in the UK and 8% in the US. Across western Europe, the group highlighted France, Belgium and Spain as the most difficult markets.
Across sectors, growth came across advertising and media, at 12%, ahead of public relations, 5%, and consumer insight, 3%.
The group said its marketing communications companies are positive about performance this year, particularly in faster growing markets.
However, one point of concern for WPP is 2013, which it said could be challenging, as a re-elected or new US president "has to finally wrestle with the colossal fiscal deficit, post-election".

Will buying 1 ALL detergent and 1 Scott Toilet Paper qualify me for the $5 gift card promotion or do I have to buy same items?
Can the Target coupons be used anywhere?
When will you add save_a_lot & family dollar to your list of stores?
We are always working on adding new stores! Thanks for the suggestion!
Is this a stock-up deal or should I wait? We only use the All Free & Clear at my house so I'm wondering if I should buy two.
I just used my coupons at food lion for all detergent. I guess I can't complain seeing they had the 80 load powder reduced to $4.00. So I got it for $3.00 each one I bought. I just like the gift cards back. They come in handy at Target…
Here is a list of a few others included in the Gift Card Promotion!

In one transaction no you cannot use 2 TC though some times if you come across a friendly cashier and you happen to be with someone they will allow you to use more then one in the same transaction. By as per their coupon policy theyre not suppose to either way.. bummer I know
You can use two TC if you have two items in one transaction.
I hate it when i forget a newspaper because then i miss a deal =(
Wal-Mart has All laundry detergent 72 Pods for only $5, which is a great price I think.

The problem is that I ordered two in the green tea color. Thought the packaging was identical, the colors are not--one is definitely lighter than the other, probably from different dye lots--and the hardware is of two different finishes, chrome and brass. (hardware doesn't show). Luckily they don't hang next to each other, but the difference in the color is obvious to me nevertheless. If I had ordered these from the manufacturer, correcting the problem would likely have been fairly easy, but since they're an overstock item, I don't see the point in trying to make an exchange. In a buying situation such as this, its simply a matter of luck. I'm going to try to stain the lighter one with...wait for it...green tea. Or maybe after a while, I won't notice.

For 30 years, Zimmy's bar and restaurant in Bob Dylan's old hometown of Hibbing has served as a makeshift museum for fans and an important cultural landmark. Sadly, Zimmy's closed recently, but they have started up an IndieGoGo fundraising campaign to help reopen one of the favorite watering holes and restaurants of Dylan fans who make the trek up to his onetime hometown.

Everyone knows fruit is healthy, but surely not all fruit is created equal.

Sleep is vital for so many reasons and not just for world class athletes.

Mental health is something that's increasingly appearing in conversation these days. This is a huge, huge step in the right direction, because historically it's the stigma around mental illness that has been one of the biggest obstacles for people in seeking help, or in fact, in even acknowledging that there's a problem in the first place. I'm impatient though

Deep Down looks PHENOMENAL!! I don't understand the criticism for it on SW. The game is a third person old-school-style dungeon crawl with amazing graphics and great music. What's not to like? Deep Down is the kind of game that Action RPG fans want!! Heck, anyone can appreciate a game like Deep Down, just the visuals and atmosphere alone are very impressive.
So why all the hate for it on SW? It is just because it's free-to-play? Because that would be a really stupid reason to hate a game.


text: INVESTIGATION OF TYPING PERFORMANCE DEGRADATION WHEN SWITCHING FROM STANDARD QWERTY KEYBOARD TO ERGONOMIC SPLIT QWERTY KEYBOARD Douglas Van Bossuyt Brenton D. Gibson Sherry Evelyn Tucker Oregon State University Corvallis, Oregon, USA Ergonomic considerations and injuries push many people toward using split keyboards. Some refuse to use split keyboards over standard keyboards because of a perceived reduction in speed and accuracy of typing. The purpose of this study is to determine what effect using split keyboards has on accuracy and typing speed compared to standard keyboards. Five participants who could touch type at least 25 WPM and who did not use an ergonomic keyboard were asked to type on a standard and ergonomic keyboard for 3 minutes each. This was done twice for each participant (6 minutes total typing time on each keyboard). The results showed a general decrease in typing speed for the ergonomic keyboard across all participants. Typing accuracy did not show a clear trend as it decreased in 2 of the 5 participants, and increased in the other 3. BACKGROUND Repetitive stress injury resulting from standard keyboard use has become a major source of workplace injury. Split keyboards are often used both remedially and prophylactically in the case of wrist fatigue and injury. However, many office workers complain and sometimes outright refuse to use split keyboards, in spite of their ergonomic advantages. Reasons range from split keyboards being less comfortable to a loss of accuracy and speed in typing. Many people argue that they are more efficient using standard keyboards and would rather suffer the risk of new or continued wrist injury than switch to split keyboards. In a subjective study of the differences in comfort between standard and ergonomic keyboard, the ergonomic keyboard was rated quite favorably (Keller, 2005). This study utilized questionnaires before and after typing tasks to rate comfort and effort. Typing posture with a standard keyboard requires abduction or the arms, pronation of the forearms, wrist extension, ulnar deviation, and finger extension which elevate pressure in the carpal tunnels (Werner et al., 1997). CTS has been reported by people whose jobs require rapid finger movements and bent wrists such as people using standard keyboards (Hedge et al., 1996). Previous work indicates that speed and accuracy both decrease while using a split keyboard as opposed to a standard keyboard (Fagarasanu et al, 2005). This study used older model split keyboards and research subjects who were accustomed to standard keyboards. Advances made in ergonomic keyboards since the publication of the study results bring into question the continued validity of the study. The most obvious characteristic of modern ergonomic keyboards are the split down the middle of the alphabet keys. Another common characteristic is a negative slope. This slope has been found to significantly decrease dorsal wrist extension and increase the distance away from screen participants chose to sit at (Hedge & Powers, 1995). OBJECTIVE The objectives of this research are to determine if modern ergonomic split keyboards impair a user's typing speed and accuracy, as compared to standard keyboards. The loss or increase in typing speed and accuracy will be quantified. APPROACH Readily available off-the-shelf keyboards will be used in this study. A standard Dell keyboard (Dell Thin USB Keyboard), which is commonly found on office desks, will be employed as the "standard keyboard." Figure 2: Ergonomic keyboard used in this study A web-based typing program called Typing Master will be utilized to perform the typing analysis during this test (Typing Master, Inc., 1992). The test will measure the speed and accuracy of the participants as they type one of the five passages supplied by the program. A pool of research participants was selected using normal techniques. Participants were required to know how to touch type, use computers on a daily basis in their work or schooling, and be familiar and comfortable with QWERTY-style keyboards. The participants chose two of the supplied stories to type with the standard and split keyboards. Each story was typed once with each keyboard. Two stories were used with the intent of minimize the learning effects during the study. The goal of having the participants switch the keyboards for the second trial was to try to minimize the effects from using two different stories with two different keyboards. It was thought that a particular story may expose the accuracy differences due to the different key layouts of the keyboards. By switching, it was thought the differences that may be present should be normalized. Each story was typed for 3 minutes. The typing program counted 2 Figure 1: Standard keyboard used in this study A Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000, being commonly found and seemingly popular, will be used as the "ergonomic keyboard." mistakes in a word-wise fashion. This meant that it did not allow participants to correct any mistakes once they advanced passed the word being typed and the error was counted the same no matter how many letters were wrong in the word. RESULTS Speed: The results show that, in general, the participants had a reduction in their typing speed when switching over to the ergonomic keyboard. The participant data found in figure 3 was gathered by taking an average of the two runs for each keyboard. For participants 3 and 4, it can be seen from their error bars that this difference may not be statistically significant. The error bars relate the standard deviation for each participant's results from their two runs. For a formal test with a larger sample population, it is suggested that a t-test be used to evaluate the results. amount of speed reduction when looking at raw word-per-minute counts. Figure 4: Average typing speed reduction When the reductions are put into percentiles, as in Fig. 5, then the reductions are slightly more representative. The standard deviations show that this should not just be due to random effects, but is a repeatable observation. Figure 5: Average percent reduction in typing speed. Figure 3: Average typing speed Figure 4 shows that a reduction in the average speed of the participants is real. This data is the averaged speed reduction for each participant's two runs. As can be observed, there is quite a range in the The standard deviation for participant 3 in Figures 4 and 5 is large. This participant showed a large change in performance between trial 1 and trial 2. This could be due to their learning effects of the keyboards, or of the use of the program. It may also indicate that one story was easier for them to type that the other, thus promoting a performance difference between runs. 3 Accuracy: The results in Fig. 6 show some interesting things. First off, excluding participant 1, every participant has overlapping error bars. This would indicate that the differences observed may not be entirely significant. each trial were more consistent and yielded smaller error bars (Figure 7). Group Performance: Attention was then focused on overall group performance. The performance data in Table 1 was average over the entire group of participants. Looking at these overall averages, it can be seen that the speed reduction is only slightly greater than the standard deviation for this parameter. Looking next at accuracy, observation shows a standard deviation greater than the group average. This leads one to believe that the reduction in accuracy would not be of significance for an overall population, but be more individually based, as observed in Figures 6 and 7. Table 1: Group Performance Averages Group Performance Averages Speed Reduction, (WPM) Speed Reduction, (%) Accuracy Reduction, (%) 7.42 15.4 1.50 Standard Deviation 6.73 13.8 4.94 Figure 6: Average typing accuracy Looking at the average typing accuracy reduction in Fig. 7 shows this another way. Two participants have error bars that clearly cross the horizontal axis. Given this is 20% of the sample population, a larger study would require more statistical analysis to verify the significance of the results. DISCUSSION As expected, typing speed was reduced when switching from a standard to an ergonomic keyboard. However this reduction was only about 15% when averaged across the 5 participants. This means that a person who types about 2 hours a day will initially have to type for an additional 18 minutes per day to accomplish the same typing tasks. The accuracy of the group seemed to not show significant decreases, possibly giving no real consequences to typing tasks in the real world. One interesting thought on this is that those participants who had an increase in 4 Figure 7: Reduction in average typing accuracy Participant 3 again shows that while the accuracy results between tests were different enough to give large error bars (Figure 6), the differences between the keyboards for accuracy may have actually been looking down at their hands while typing. This could also affect speed results, particularly if their typing speed was at the threshold of what is possible with visual typing. While there was no formal questionnaire to collect participants' feelings about the keyboards, a number of participants expressed frustration in their decreased performance as they switched to the ergonomic keyboard. In one case the participant dropped out of the study prior to the second trial out of frustration. This could affect typing speed also, so maybe the speed reduction isn't truly represented until more time is spent on the ergo keyboard to where the users are not looking down. FUTURE WORK An expanded study in size and duration could help give more representative results. While this study focused on trying to quantify the initial change in typing performance when switching to an ergonomic keyboard, this may be hard data to extrapolate due to the rate of learning. Fagarasanu et al, report a 48% increase in the typing performance on two models of ergonomic keyboards after 8 hours of training (2005). Another potentially interesting aspect comes from women being shown to be three times more likely than men to develop carpal tunnel syndrome (National Institute of Health, 2007). Possibly there is a stronger ergonomic correlation for the female population. Only one of the five participants in this study was female. Future research 5 could focus on recruiting more women and determining if their results varied significantly from those of the male population. There is also opportunity to expand the task itself. There are a myriad of different tasks one can perform on a computer and a great many of them require or allow the use of a keyboard. This study looked at typing speed in a simple word processing task. Further research could encompass less focused tasks such as spread sheets where the task requires shifting between keyboard and mouse and the use of function key and/or key combinations.

You may not be able to buy happiness, but you can certainly buy a superior army. It doesn't really matter how many troops your opponent has, when all it takes to kill them is a massive walking death robot that burns everything it sees with lasers. The more troops are clustered together, the more destruction a well-placed Psionic storm will cause.
You're backing the most sophisticated (and most expensive) army in the galaxy. Why not brag a little? It's not like you can't afford it.

Prosecutors filed charges against eight people Tuesday in connection with the death of a man whose body was found on fire in Logan County in late January.
Eight charged in connection with death of man found on fire near Langston
Brandy Hanson, 35, and Angel Munoz, 24, were charged in Oklahoma Count District Court with murder and desecrating a body. Also charged Tuesday with murder were John Worcester, 39; Jessie Dalton, 37; Tyson Lott, 21; and Quentin Goodwin, 30. Also charged with desecrating a body were Johnny Snow, 49, and Twilia Wise, 36.
On Jan. 31, firefighters in Logan County responded to reports of a grass fire between Langston and Guthrie. After extinguishing the fire, firefighters discovered the body of Shawn Masters, 39, of Blanchard.
It took investigators with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation and the Logan County sheriff's office two months to identify Masters because he was so badly burned, authorities said.
After identifying the body, investigators identified Hanson as one of the last people to be seen with Masters, according to court documents.
During an interview with investigators, Hanson said she and Munoz borrowed a car from Masters and were stopped and arrested because the vehicle was stolen.
Munoz told investigators she was upset with Masters because she thought he might be an undercover police officer. She called her boyfriend, Jessie Dalton, who is in custody at the state penitentiary in McAlester. Dalton is serving two life sentences for separate murders in 2002 and 2009. In the earlier case, he was convicted of killing a man during a home invasion. In the latter, he was convicted in the jailhouse beating death of an accomplice who testified against him in the 2002 trial.

More Utahns will get to see the state's courts in action this spring.
The Utah Judicial Council approved rules Monday that will allow criminal and civil trials to be televised. Currently, only hearings in the Court of Appeals and the Utah Supreme Court can be shown on television.
Utah Supreme Court Justice Jill Parrish said the rule change, which also allows people to use laptop computers, tablets and smartphones in courtrooms, "moves us into a new era."
Actually, it brings Utah in line with 19 other states that allow both audio and video recording in criminal and civil trials.
The vote was 9-3, with 2nd District Judge Glen Dawson, 3rd District Judge Paul Maughan and 4th District Judge David Mortensen voting against the change. Maugham said the rule, which presumes recording should be allowed, robs judges of the abiity to control their courtrooms.
But the rule doesn't completely strip judges of discretion in allowing cameras. Judges could still ban televising cases involving children or gang-related crimes. And videographers, like still photographers, would have to apply at least 24 hours in advance to record.
Proponents say the new rule improves transparency for the courts, allowing people to see how justice is administered in Utah.
Nancy Volmer, spokeswoman for the Utah State Courts, said the courts' experience with television cameras on the appellate level has been positive. She said the only problem since the rules were implemented in 1997, were some initial questions about sound quality and the occasional camera operator coming wearing shorts during the summer.
But Volmer said the Radio Television Digital News Association had done a survey of courtroom camera access, and found that Utah was in the lowest tier for access.
"[The new rules] means we are now in the top tier in the nation," Volmer said.
Utah allowed still photography in the courts in 1990. The most notable controversy surrounding cameras in Utah's courtrooms occurred in 2007, when a Deseret News photographer took a picture of a note that Warren Jeffs attempted to hand to the judge hearing his trial on charges he married underage women to adult men. The paper enhanced the picture to reveal that Jeffs, leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, said he was not a prophet.
Since then, coutroom photographers have been ordered not to take pictures of documents not admitted into evidence.

The Walla Walla night-lifers are probably one of the few groups who have been able to experience the true beauty of art downtown. I know we have all had the chance to walk around downtown Walla Walla in the light of day, usually in the summer where it's nice and warm. But, have you ever really wandered the downtown street at night? I will tell you why you should take a hint from those who are out at night.
Artist Squire Broel crafted a large and beautiful vase that sits on a pedestal on the corner of Main St. and Second Avenue. This vessel is made of cast bronze in the form of an ancient Chinese relic. The vessel is covered in low-relief Moon flowers, which allows the audience to enjoy the texture of the sculpture, in addition to how it looks.
That is what we have seen, but the night life has seen the real treat. Some of the flowers on the vase are made of a translucent resin that allows light to pass and shine through the vase. This gives the vase a luminous glow that can only be seen at night or on really foggy days. I have never seen it, but it is supposed to be absolutely magnificent!
"Lights of the Valley" truly is a fitting name for this piece that was inspired by the Asian culture, as Squire was obsessed with his time in Hong Kong and it's cultural history. Squire mentioned that his goal was to create pieces that explore visual means to express deep emotions of the soul in the physical world. "Lights of the Valley" is meant to allow the viewers' feelings to be engaged and consciously felt as well. So, tonight at midnight, if you're bored and finished with homework, go to Tallmans Drug Store downtown and check out the large luminescent vase in front it.

There are many interesting public art pieces in Walla Walla. This one is the one I like the most. Have you ever noticed these little images in the windows of the facade in the Heritage Park on Main St? Do you wonder what is the meaning behind this?
This art piece is called "Windows in the Past." The pictures are historic photos of different cultures who lived in the Walla Walla Valley from 1850 to 1950. There are also images of landscapes, and beautiful nature and animals. The pictures are done in porcelain on steel panels.The center windows are pictures of area's Native Americans. The whole mural represents more than 20 cultural and ethnic groups! There are Chinese, African-Americans, French, Italians, Jewish, Lebanese, Latinos, Japanese, Norwegians, English, Scots, Irish, Swiss, Polish, Germans from Russia, Ukrainians, Germans, and Greeks. The nature images include a panorama of the Blue Mountains and a depiction of Wallula Gap by a Walla Walla photographer Hans Matschukat. The top arches are filled by an image of Bennington Lake on Mill Creek, by Donna Lasater.
This project was completely finished in September, 2010. Some students from Whitman College and Walla Walla University helped with the research as interns under the leadership of The Art Director and production artist Jeanne McMenemy. The steel panels were produced by Winsor Fireform, Tumwater, WA.
What do you think about this piece and why is it so significant?

Brockport men's basketball SUNYAC bound
Senior guard Derek Klein scored 11 points in Brockport's 103-98 loss to Fredonia Saturday, Feb. 16. The game was Brockport's final game before starting the SUNYAC tournament. Natalie Muster/SPORTS EDITOR
Despite a 103-98 loss at home to the Fredonia Blue Devils Saturday, Feb. 16, the Brockport men's basketball team (15-9 overall, 10-7 SUNYAC) still clinched a spot in the SUNYAC playoffs as the No. 5 seed over the weekend. The Eagles began tournament play Tuesday, Feb. 19 at No. 4 seed Oswego.
The night prior to being defeated by Fredonia (7-17 overall, 3-15 SUNYAC), Brockport traveled to Buffalo to take on the Buffalo State Bengals (13-11 overall, 8-10 SUNYAC). The Eagles were able squeak out a 92-84 overtime win. The Eagles produced 14 steals and 20 assists.
Junior guard John Ivy scored a career-high 35 points while going 13-of-27 from the field and adding 11 rebounds and four steals.
Ivy and junior Brandon Caruthers were a huge reason why the Eagles were able to force overtime. Both players were able to make key shots down the stretch for the team.
Buffalo committed 25 fouls and Brockport made 28-of-42 free throws, which gave them 66 percent shooting on the night.
Both Ivy and Caruthers went 8-of-9 from the free-throw line. Caruthers, who usually comes off the bench, started the game and scored 20 points along with eight assists.
Throughout the season, Brockport has put pressure on the opposing team's ball handlers. This was the case during the Buffalo State contest. Brockport forced 24 turnovers, which contributed to 28 points.
Brockport was also able to get many easy buckets and accumulated 48 points in the paint.
In overtime Brockport got to the free-throw line, knocked down shots, built a lead and never looked back.
Brockport outscored Buffalo 17-9 in overtime. With the win, Brockport would just need a win versus Fredonia and an Oswego loss in order to lock up a home game during the SUNYAC tournament.
Saturday night was the last time seniors Derek Klein and Jordan Major would play at home in front of the Brockport crowd. Unfortunately, the celebration was spoiled by a late run by the Blue Devils, who did not allow the Eagles to build a lead bigger than six points in the second half.
During the first half, Brockport was able to create steals in the open court and force Fredonia in bad situations. The Golden Eagles capitalized on it.
Brockport scored 31 points off of turnovers on a night that the Eagles created 16 steals.
Brockport could not pull away from Fredonia simply because of the free throw shooting by the Blue Devils. Down the stretch in the first half both teams traded baskets, which resulted in Brockport only having a one-point lead of 50-49 going into halftime.
Brockport led for the entire first half, but as soon as the second half began Fredonia took the lead for the first time at 51-50. From this moment on, the game was not be the same. Eight times in the second half the score was tied, and also nine times the lead switched hands.
Fredonia's Amir Billups proved to be too much for the Eagles, dropping 25 points while shooting 7-of-12 from the field and going a perfect 9-of-9 from the free throw line.
Ivy scored more than 30 points for the second straight game in a row. He attempted 24 free throws on the night and made 17, while going 6-of-14 from the field.
One reason for the high scoring game was the number of fouls committed by both teams. An astounding 60 fouls were committed during the contest, 30 by each team, which led to 92 free throws attempted on the night by both teams combined.
Early in the second half, both teams entered the shooting bonus. This made for very cautious defensive play for fear of sending shooters to the line. Brockport went 29-of-43 from the line while Fredonia made 41-of-49 of its free throws.
Free throw shooting by the Blue Devils ultimately sealed the fate for the Eagles. But Brockport had one last chance to tie the game up when it trailed 101-98 in the final seconds. Klein attempted a 3-point field goal, but the shot did not fall and the ball found its way to the hands of a Fredonia player.
Bobby Bell and Dorian Hayden both contributed with 13 points and Klein chipped in 11 points.
Post-game interviews were declined and emails to players were not returned.

'UPA Delayed Noose for Convicts in Rajiv Case'
By Yatish Yadav - NEW DELHI
Published: 21st February 2014 07:49 AM
Last Updated: 21st February 2014 08:21 AM
The chief investigating officer of the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case blamed the UPA Government for delaying the execution of seven death convicts, whose mercy pleas were kept pending for long.
K Ragothaman, who spent nearly 10 years joining the dots to expose the conspiracy behind the brutal killing of the former Prime Minister in a human bomb attack, said that even if all the accused were freed, at least four of them would have to be detained in a refugee camp under the Foreigner Act as they were Sri Lankan Tamils and were convicted as foreign terrorists.
"What did Sonia Gandhi and the UPA Government do for mercy petition when they came to power in 2004? The file was not even moved from government office. Even after the January 21 judgment, they did not file a review petition and waited till the last moment to react. I think keeping mercy pleas pending for so many years was the greatest injustice to the soul of Rajiv Gandhi," he said.
He also questioned the jurisdiction of the state government adding that since the terror case was investigated by the CBI, any such order related to relief or release of death row convicts was impossible without the Centre's consent.
"The case was investigated by the CBI under a central law and any decision on commutation of sentence has to be done through the Centre's consultation," Ragothaman added. All the terrorists involved were convicted by a Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court in January 1998. They were awarded death sentence which was subsequently confirmed by the Supreme Court in May 1999.
