What can you do in Cape Cod in October besides go pumpkin picking and cranberry bogging?
Head to the Wellfleet OysterFest! It is, perhaps, the biggest and best family-fun street party in New England in October.
Famous Cape Cod Oysters!
The 10th annual Wellfleet Oyster Fest takes place the weekend after Columbus Day – Saturday and Sunday, October 16 – 17th, in Wellfleet MA.
The two-day party celebrates Cape Cod's famous oysters, clams and other shellfishing traditions. The festival also brings together locals and visitors alike for a weekend full of hometown flavor and BIG fun for the whole family.
During the festival, the town center of Wellfleet becomes a walking district, offering something for everyone: food, arts and crafts, children's activities, educational exhibits, live music and, of course, the famous Oyster Shuck-Off competition.
If you don't like crowds, there are several satellite events happening away from the center of town – many with a beautiful harbor as a backdrop. Some of those events include beachcombing, bird walks, a 5K road race, cooking demonstrations, tasting seminars, book talks, and oyster grant tours.
FREE Entertainment
The Wellfleet OysterFest is affordable too. So affordable, in fact, families have a FREE children's area to explore with a moonbounce, pumpkin decorating, face painting, oyster jewelry making, a steel drum workshop, sing-a-longs and more!
More than 90 regional artists will sell their crafts and live music from local and regional bands will be performed on the Main Stage.
Cape Cod Vacation Packages In October
Get on your dancin' shoes and whip out your oyster bibs, because you and your family are sure to have a great time in Wellfleet in October.
Don't miss out on some incredible Cape Cod hotel packages in autumn – and take advantage of EVERYTHING the area has to offer that time of year. From leaf peeping to pumpkins to fall festivals – New England and Cape Cod are the places to be in the fall – hands down.

Second Sexby Simone De Beauvoir
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Newly translated and unabridged in English for the first time, Simone de Beauvoir's masterwork is a powerful analysis of the Western notion of woman, and a groundbreaking exploration of inequality and otherness. This long-awaited new edition reinstates significant portions of the original French text that were cut in the first English translation. Vital and groundbreaking, Beauvoir's pioneering and impressive text remains as pertinent today as it was sixty years ago, and will continue to provoke and inspire generations of men and women to come.

How come the drab colour on here looks like army green? On the nixon website it looks more dark bluish grey (the colour I'd much rather have).

Judge halves slander verdict won by casino mogul
November 12, 2012 1:50 PM
LOS ANGELES (AP) – A judge has slashed a damage verdict favoring casino mogul Steve Wynn in a slander case against "Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis.
Superior Court Judge Joanne O'Donnell issued the ruling Friday invalidating certain claims and trimming the damage amount from $40 million to $19 million.
The move comes after lawyers for Francis argued that O'Donnell erred when she allowed jurors to consider allegations that Francis slandered Wynn in comments made to TV's "Good Morning America" on the eve of trial.
The judge also says Wynn isn't entitled to punitive damages on the claims, which accounted for $20 million of the verdict.
A call to Wynn's attorney Barry Langberg was not immediately returned.

'Social Glasses' May Reveal a Person's True Colors
The human eye can already detect signs of emotions, mood and health in the color of human skin.
CREDIT: 2AI Labs | Mark Changizi
A rosy blush or the sickly green color of a person's skin can tell very different stories about mood and health to human eyes ? a deceptively powerful insight about eyesight. Now a startup has begun creating "social glasses" capable of enhancing the lives of lonely-heart singles or gamblers who play high-stakes games for love and money.
The idea, pioneered by 2AI Labs, harnesses the power of human eyes to notice skin color changes caused by a mixture of more or less blood and blood oxygen levels. Such filtered glasses could help surgeons better see a patient's network of "glowing" veins, or allow airport security to spot the slight paling of a suspicious individual's face.
But even special sunglasses ? or clear non-prescription glasses for the hip crowd ? may enable ordinary people still see common social signals through their dark shades.
"You can have shades that don't shade your social connections," said Mark Changizi, director of human cognition at 2AI Labs. "They're really social glasses that bring human vision back to baseline."
That means people wearing shades don't need to miss seeing the blush of embarrassment or excitement on the face of a guy or girl on a first date. Similarly, a poker player hiding behind a pair of sunglasses could still spot a red flush creeping up the neck of an opponent ? a telltale sign that could clinch victory as surely as a five-card flush in the game.

2AI is already talking with bigger companies about making the more specialized glasses for everything from law enforcement to medicine. But Changizi referred to the "social glasses" as the "one-ring-to-rule- them-all" approach.
"The biggest application is for everyday wear, just like every pair of glasses you buy, has UV protection," Changizi told InnovationNewsDaily.
Skin reveals so much about human emotions and health because it can appear as practically any color based on combinations of blue, green, yellow and red, as described by Changizi in his book "The Vision Revolution" (BenBella Books, 2009). For instance, higher amounts of oxygenated blood can lead to a reddish-blue (purple) color, whereas lower amounts of oxygenated blood creates a yellow-red (orange) effect.
By contrast, high amounts of blood with low oxygen levels leads to a blue-green hue, and low amounts of blood with low oxygen levels lead to a yellow-green appearance.
Tim Barber, an Internet entrepreneur and co-director at 2AI, first suggested turning Changizi's insights into usable technology. But Changizi hopes to do much more than just turn a profit ? he wants to experiment with a new way to fund his academic research through rapid spinoff technologies.
"When you go through Ph.D. training, you're taught that to leave academia is to fail," Changizi said. "But it's a big world that's exciting, and often much more exciting than what happens in 99 percent of academia."

Latest Player Updatesclose
Sat Jun 16, 2012 11:38 am Bills TEs coach Pete Metzelaars admits Lee Smith has limited pass-catching skills.
Fantasy Source Spin: "He is a powerful man," Metzelaars said. "Now he has limitations the other way - the athleticism. So you have to find opportunities to use him in the passing game, where it's not - this guy's in, they're running every time." Smith's roster spot sounds secure as a sixth lineman, but he'll remain well off the fantasy radar.
Source: Buffalo News
Tue Dec 20, 2011 2:37 pm Bills placed TE Lee Smith (ankle) on injured reserve, ending his season.
Fantasy Source Spin: The fifth-round pick was carted off with the injury during Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Smith was considered a blocking prospect coming out of Marshall. His rookie season ends with four catches and 11 receiving yards.
Source: Joe Buscaglia on Twitter
Sun Dec 18, 2011 3:19 pm Bills TE Lee Smith was carted off with an ankle injury in the third quarter of Sunday's Week 15 game against the Dolphins.
Fantasy Source Spin: Smith, a blocking tight end, was filling in for Scott Chandler (inactive, ankle). He's done for the day.
Fri Dec 9, 2011 9:11 am Lee Smith is expected to start in place of TE Scott Chandler (ankle) this week.
Fantasy Source Spin: Smith recorded his first three catches of the season for 11 yards in last week's game. Drafted by the Pats to be Alge Crumpler's successor, Smith is a prototypical blocking specialist. He's not a recommended fantasy play against the Chargers.
Source: Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
Sun Sep 4, 2011 1:35 pm Bills claimed TE Lee Smith off waivers from the Patriots.
Fantasy Source Spin: The 49ers, Saints, Bucs, and Jets also put in claims. Coach Chan Gailey doesn't use his tight ends as receiving weapons, so this should be a nice fit. A fifth-round pick out of Marshall, Smith is purely a blocking specialist.
Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter
Sat Sep 3, 2011 3:11 pm Patriots waived TE Lee Smith.
Fantasy Source Spin: He appears to have been beaten out for a roster spot by undrafted free agent Will Yeatman. A fifth-round pick last spring, Smith is a raw but powerful blocker whom the Pats undoubtedly hope to sign to their practice squad.
Sun Aug 28, 2011 11:12 am Fifth-round pick TE Lee Smith is in danger of not making the Patriots roster.
Fantasy Source Spin: Undrafted rookie TE Will Yeatman saw more time with the Patriots' first-team offense for the second consecutive game Saturday, and appears to have all but won the battle to replace Alge Crumpler. The Pats will try to stash Smith on the practice squad if he's left off the final roster.
Source: ESPN Boston
Wed Jul 27, 2011 6:54 pm Patriots signed No. 159 overall pick TE Lee Smith to a four-year contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: Alge Crumpler's successor as the extra offensive lineman will receive a signing bonus of $171,480. Smith may have to show value on special teams to crack the Week 1 roster as a rookie.
Source: Aaron Wilson on Twitter
Sat Jul 2, 2011 12:05 pm The Boston Herald's Ian Rapport thinks the Patriots are going to have a hard time squeezing fifth-round pick TE Lee Smith onto their 53-man roster.
Fantasy Source Spin: Smith is a huge (6-foot-6, 266 pounds) blocking tight end, and Rapport believes he could eventually see time at tackle or long snapper. With New England so stacked at tight end, versatility could be the way Smith cracks the roster.
Source: Boston Herald
Sat Apr 30, 2011 3:08 pm Patriots selected Marshall TE Lee Smith with the No. 159 overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft.
Fantasy Source Spin: A transfer from Tennessee, Smith totaled 38 receptions for 358 yards last year after posting 23 catches for 335 yards as a junior. At 6'6/266, Smith is a big, powerful blocker who loves to mix it up and finish off defenders. He won't catch many passes in New England, but Bill Belichick can use him as Alge Crumpler's successor in the blocking role.

I mean not only was it gloriously plotted between all of the characters and true to them and their development.
It was a perfect representation of Doctor Who and everything I love about it.
AND it was a perfect picture between Troy and Abed of what best friendship is sometimes. Things change and it's scary and it sucks but in the end you always find each other and you always help each other because that is how best friends work.
And I loved that the girl flirting with Jeff was beautiful and in love with the show. Because he was so convinced she was gonna have some bizarre secret because obviously everyone who likes a sci-fi show is deep down a creepy, anti-social, out-of-touch-with-reality weirdo right? But no she was just a nice girl who loved a show a lot. And it didn't define her identity but she also wasn't afraid to be a huge fangirl. You guys that girl is me.
In other news, I want to go to SDCC evEN MORE NOW BUT I CAN'T UGH WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN.
I love you Community. I love you so much.

The underlying technology that we use for the Everleap cloud hosting platform is the Windows Azure Pack which is the same technology that Microsoft uses to run their own Microsoft Azure hosting platform. Microsoft has made Azure technologies available to their partners so they can build public and private cloud offerings that run in the their own data centers. So that's what we've done at Everleap.
We are focused on the same thing we've been delivering for over a decade at DiscountASP.NET – web hosting services for developers. But now we offer that web hosting service on a truly scalable cloud hosting platform that is more than "cloud" in name only.
While we use Windows Azure Pack as the foundation, we custom built the entire Everleap hosting system to bring a true cloud platform to web hosting services. So here are a few things that make Everleap stand out from other large cloud services such as Microsoft Windows Azure Hosting or Amazon Web Services.
One of the major selling points for the big cloud providers is that you pay as you go. That kind of metered usage is great for huge web sites that experience serious usage spikes or scaling issues. But most of us aren't managing huge websites with extremely large usage spikes, so the unpredictable monthly costs associated with metered usage make it difficult to manage your web hosting budget.
We have eliminated that unpredictability, and provide a flat rate cloud hosting service without "surprise" hosting bills. You won't need a spreadsheet and a calculator to figure out your web hosting costs.
At Everleap we bundle many services that are typically metered - and charged - separately at other cloud providers. For example, you'll pay extra for all of these essential services at the big cloud providers (if they are available), but they are all included in every Everleap plan:
Disk space
Large amounts of bandwidth
Email service
Emailing from application
DNS service
SQL 2014/2012 and MySQL 5 databases
SQL 2012 Reporting Services
SNI SSL (IP based SSL is also available)
If you need help from one of the big cloud providers, prepare to pay extra for it. We've been providing award-winning web hosting for over a decade, and we know that you expect expert technical support to be part of your hosting service. At Everleap, it is. We provide "Always There" technical support through our Help Center, and should an issue require further discussion or deeper investigation, we can arrange a callback or a shared desktop video session without additional fees.
We have built the next generation of web hosting services. Most of it will be familiar to you, but the engine that runs it all is a vast improvement over traditional web hosting. This is a powerful, premium grade cloud platform that provides reliability and scalability options that we could only dream of until now.
To remove all doubt we offer an unconditional 60-day money back guarantee, so you can try Everleap without risk. What are you waiting for? The future is here and ready for you right now.
If you have any questions about our Cloud hosting service powered by Windows Azure Pack, contact us.

Grandma Skydiving Goes Wrong
Posted by thebuzzkiller69dude on May. 25, 2012
Posted by thebuzzkiller69dude on May. 25, 2012
I'm a professional skydiver and have shot hundreds of tandem videos. Newer tandem harnesses have an extra strap on them that prevents you from being able to slip out the bottom even if the harness isn't adjusted properly. This was the result of a few people over the years who actually did fall out and die. Keep in mind that those few were out of literally millions of tandem jumps, and the person was usually obese AND didn't follow the directions for body position. If this lady had swung her
I'm sold. Just forget the parachut part. I want to jump naked.
did she died?
Push an old lady out of a plane and see if she doesn't die before hitting the ground.
h-o-l-y f-u-c-k
she died of cancer the next day
hahaha hilarious
blow me
wow, it's a sad thing to think that break could possibly be dropping headline crap before real news outlets...
suck mah cack P1N3apple
You're right fuckface
Actually dickhead the ghetto gets the news first cuz that's where it usually happens
goes to show how ghetto America is becoming. Break is breaking the news first.
i admire & respect theis adventurous old girl! God bless her! (^_^)
yeah I thought it was fake. didn't think any tandem jumper could be that stupid. but apparently they could
oh shit, I've been sayings its fake, but she's on CNN now. http://ht.cdn.turner.com/cnn/b
fake fake fake
skydiving makes my wrinkles dissapear
she better be landing in a kitchen
HOLLY CRAP !! She was 80?!?! If that was my grandma.. omg..
I think both of them should have died. Horribly.
that is real and the story is on all skydiving forums and sites regarding the actions of the Tandem instructor.
sooooooooo real!
This instructor is a complete and utter failure an instructor and a human being. What a stupid, selfish, thoughtless piece of shit. I hope he is hung out to dry in every way possible.
I agree 100%
I feel the same way
Obviously fake.
who in the hell would want to fake that!?
couldn't put a helmut on him because woulda looked way too much like dude
troll bastard
Pause at 00:12... you can tell it's a dude in drag.
that dude has very loose and wrinkly skin!
This clip will be the evidence that will get granny;s children paid and ground that jumper for life. What he did by forcing her out is criminal. (literally)
Paid for what? She's already signed a 20-page waver agreeing to not sue anyone. Beside, "No!" sounds a lot like "Go!" in 100mph wind ;-) For what it's worth, I've forced a lot of people out the door and they always thank me for it later.
you mother fuckers! she clearly says NO you morons! she's not Chuck Norris!
old bitch training. can you hear him screaming at her? saying "will you get back in the kitchen and make samiches? or do I just let you DIE?"
she better be landing in the kitchen
Not even tried to make this fake shit look real
I would love to have granny sit on my face!!!
i-rain-ic this is.
Have You Guys Seen this Crazy ass video! http://adf.ly/8IH92
No means no...unless you are jumping out of a plane...
You're stupid if you don't think this is fake as fuck.
prob had a chance to slip a finger in her, missed out
Looks like a dude in a fast suit. Either way, not sure that was supposed to happen.

Best little Gif I've seen this week!

This year, the Sony World Photography Contest received an astonishing 139,554 image entries. Ranging from the beautiful to the desolate, the humane to the ultimately alien, judges sifted through hundreds of thousands of technically immaculate and…
Simply breathtaking.
With each brush stroke or streak of spray paint that hits the concrete, street artists turn the notion that creativity and artistic ingenue can only be found within the stuffy halls of self-important museums entirely on its head. 2013 was no exception to this thinking, as can be seen in the following 40 images.

Re: Dr. John recomendations....#33510 3 years, 4 months agoDefinitely check out Gris Gris and Gumbo for two early selections- great stuff. Also check out anything you can find that's live anywhere (tapes, archive, etc). I saw him just last year and he's walking a bit slow, but can sure still funk and rock it out. He's wonderful!!

Re: Dr. John recomendations....#33531 3 years, 4 months agoIt is a hard call making a recommendation for Dr. John because he crosses genres so much from CD to CD. I have four of his CD's and like them all, but they are all different styles. If I had to recommend, I would go with:
Television (funky Dr. John)
Duke Elegant (Dr. John plays Duke Ellington
Creole Moon (New Orleans blues)
Have fun.

Re: Dr. John recomendations....#33548 3 years, 4 months agoGris-Gris gets my vote. They should've included a voodoo doll with that one. Wish I could be at Bonnaroo as Dr. John is playing that whole album with the original Meters and Allen Toussaint. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as most of those people barely speak to one another from what I've heard."Got any nails?"
"Got any flies?"

i did not catch this fish. it did however, eat my fly.
when i set the hook there was a second of tension which abruptly turned to slack… and not for all the reasons that initially come to mind. the loop on my fly line broke… it was like getting a wedgie followed by a kick in the sack. as i watched my fly and leader slowly hover back to the surface it felt as if i'd hit slow motion on the day. i told the dude i was with to hit the same spot. he did. he was rewarded with a handsome specimen of a tiger muskie. this fish must brush and floss twice a day cause his canines were just as purty as the aerial show he put on once the thing that he tried to swallow bite him back.
notice my boga punched a hole through his lip. boga jaws aren't small and once they are through, any real thrashing only make such a hole bigger. this has happened to me before with pike. i do not like this.
so i have two things i'll be reconsidering, making loops like this and my ol' boga.

[Ed note: Please welcome Alex Yovanovich as a first-time contributor to 8p9s ... and one who will hopefully be penning more of his thoughts in the weeks and months to come.]
It's the 800-pound gorilla in the room. It's the NBA's express elevator ride to winning seasons, consistent play and an excited fan base.
What is it?
It's not Mark Cuban.
It's a top-flight point guard, of course.
Think about it. How many Kobe Bryants are out there for the taking? That's right. Not too many, huh? But point guard is a different story. There are a handful of these characters that can make a big difference. Getting the right one can be worth his weight in gold.
While recent history suggests that having a solid point guard alone does not win you championships, it does tell you that it is often the simplest and quickest way to turn around a bad team. Look at recent examples like what Chris Paul, Deron Williams and Steve Nash did to improve the fortunes of New Orleans, Utah and Phoenix. Going from 50 losses to 50 wins can happen in a big hurry with the right point guard.
Conversely, there is no quicker way to blow up a good team than to foolishly let a good point guard go. Look at Detroit's quick plunge from their long run of 50-plus-wins-per-year to their abysmal 11-25 record this year. The Bad Boys Part II used to inspire fear. Now they inspire pity.
Think they miss Chauncey Billups? Yeah, me too.
The Pacers have needed a point guard since Mark Jackson left for Toronto following the team's lone NBA Finals appearance at the end of the 2000 season. Despite some early flashes, Jamaal Tinsley was never the answer. In fact, Tinsley may have been the single most limiting factor to the Pacers playoff fate in 2003-04, the year they raced to a brilliant 61-win regular season and saw it all come crashing down in the Eastern Conference Finals. I am certainly not alone in thinking that if you simply swapped the point guards the Pacers would have dusted off the Pistons in six games instead of the other way around.
As for the most recent attempt to fill the point guard vacancy, all you have to do is watch a few games to see that TJ Ford has no business starting in the NBA. And Coach Jim O'Brien obviously agrees as TJ went from starter to out-of-the-rotation in only 30 games. He's probably best suited as an instant offense guy off the bench where the coach can judge by his first shot whether to play him his 15 minutes or sit him or the rest of the game. A taller, less-explosive Nate Robinson, perhaps.
Earl Watson is serviceable but little else, and while rookie AJ price has looked good in limited time, I'll have to see more to believe he the long-term solution that Indiana has been seeking since Mark Jackson.
When you really think about it the Pacers have had two point guards that were difference makers in the entire team history. One was Jackson. The other was Freddie Lewis, who regularly lit up opponents in the Pacers' ABA glory days. That's two guys in 43 years!
Kentucky point guard John Wall looks to be the next star NBA point guard in waiting. But it will take the number one overall pick in the next NBA draft to nab Wall. The Pacers are bad, but they are still 8 games ahead of New Jersey with only 46 games to go, and the Nets show no signs of turning things around any time soon. Even if the Pacers were to start dumping players — like trading Troy Murphy to Cleveland for Zydrunas Ilgauskas' expiring contract — they still probably aren't bad enough to pass the Nets for the league's worst record. Unfortunately, even then the top pick is not guaranteed, still hinging on the fate of a fickle ping pong ball.
My guess here is that with Danny Granger back the Pacers will begin to win more often and perhaps even crest the 30-wins plateau, which will leave them once again in no man's land — not nearly good enough to make the playoffs but not nearly bad enough to get the NBA's next star point guard.
But let's say that all the bad karma that has befallen the Pacers since the brawl in Detroit suddenly does an about face and the Pacers get lucky — very lucky. John Wall is the type of point guard that you can build an NBA team around. Suddenly, players like Granger, Roy Hibbert and Tyler Hansbrough would likely look like they have clue and become more effective. Add in a veteran player at shooting guard and things could get really exciting in a hurry at Conseco Fieldhouse.
You remember those days, right?
You know, when Mark Jackson would give Reggie Miller a great look at a last second shot. The crowd would hold their breath. The ball would tickle the twine. The crowd would erupt into an absolute frenzy. Those days could happen again — with just a little good fortune.
Now, about replacing that Miller guy…
There aren't 10 human beings alive that could make the pass Mark makes at 1:32.

The Dead Zone is a 1979 Stephen King novel.A high school teacher named Johnny Smith is left in a coma for four and a half years following a car accident — only to discover when he wakes up that, while he has suffered slight brain damage, he has also activated a "dead zone" in his brain, giving him Psychic Powers. Now, whenever he touches something or someone, Johnny may have a psychic vision of the past, present or a possible future. As he comes to terms with all that has happened in the missing five years of his life and the notoriety he gains with his abilities, he finds himself trying to stop the election of Greg Stillson, an up-and-coming politician whom Johnny foresees will cause a nuclear apocalypse.The story has been adapted twice into visual media. The 1983 film stars Christopher Walken as Johnny and was directed by David Cronenberg. In 2002, a television series based loosely on the novel aired on the USA Network, starring Anthony Michael Hall as Smith.Not to be confused with the Dragon Ball Z movie Dead Zone.
The Dead Zone provides examples of the following tropes:

My sister-in-law, Annie Bhagwandin, and her husband have a chestnut orchard in Washington. This prompted her to write this amazing cookbook: The Chestnut Cookbook.
Annie is a genius at utilizing the American chestnut. She even made the most amazing cookies which incorporated whole wheat pastry flour along with chestnut flour. They were AWESOME: not too sweet, full of fiber and protein, a wonderful snack.
This combo that Annie had come up got me to thinking about how to create a chocolate cracker that wouldn't be too sweet, would incorporate whole wheat flour along with a nut flour, and would use virgin coconut oil. Well, thanks to Annie's inspiration, I have one to share with you.
Chocolate Graham Crackers (with Animal Cracker Option)
Notes: You want to use virgin or unrefined coconut oil. This type of coconut oil will have a pleasing coconut scent when you open the jar and will add sweetness and subtle coconut flavor to your finished cracker. Also, almond meal may be purchased from the store (I purchase mine from Trader Joe's and it is located in the nut section) or you can make your own by placing almonds in a food processor and processing until it kind of resembles cornmeal...if you process it too long you will have almond butter. Whole wheat pastry flour can usually be found in the natural food section of your grocery store or at a store like Whole Foods (it is NOT the same as regular whole wheat flour)
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour1/2 cup almond meal
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2/3 cup virgin coconut oil
1/2 cup cane sugar
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 egg
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside. In a bowl, place the coconut oil, sugar, and salt. Mix until well blended. Add egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract and mix until blended. Now add your whole wheat pastry flour, almond meal, and cocoa powder. Mix. Your dough will be like a "drier" cookie dough but shorter (meaning a bit oilier than typical cookie dough).
On your work surface, sprinkle some whole wheat pastry flour. Then turn about 1/2 of your dough onto your work surface and roll out until the dough is about 1/4 inch thick. Using knife or pizza cutter, cut your dough into squares. Once your dough is cut, transfer your squares onto the lined cookie sheets. Repeat with the second half of your dough. (Note, your crackers will neither spread much nor rise during the cooking process so you can place them close together.) Bake in your preheated oven for 7-8 minutes or until your crackers begin to brown around the edges. Remove from oven and transfer your crackers to a cooking rack. They will firm up and harden as they cool. Enjoy!
Option: Animal Crackers
If you'd like to make animal shaped crackers, first divide your dough into two equal pieces. Wrap each piece of dough in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to cool (minimum of 1 hour). When ready to make crackers, take the dough out of the refrigerator and roll out to 1/4 inch thick. Using animal shaped cookie cutters, cut out your animal crackers. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 7-8 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges.

Banking index gains
The BSE banking index closed 2.2 percent higher on Friday despite analysts' warning that mid-cap lenders could see muted net profit growth in the July-September quarter.
The banking index has risen nearly 100 percent this year.
Some of the major gainers on the Bankex were Karnataka Bank (up 8.3 percent), Oriental Bank (up 6.8 percent), Union Bank (up 6.5 percent), SBI (up 5.3 percent), ICICI Bank (up 2.4 percent) and Andhra Bank (up 3.7 percent).
Earlier in the week, UCO Bank, HDFC, HDFC Bank and Axis Bank declared their results.
Shares in HDFC Bank were down 0.3 percent today, while that of Axis Bank ended 0.1 percent lower.
Economic downturn has crimped banks' loan growth that slowed from around 27 percent in December 2008 to 12.6 percent in September 2009, even as deposit growth remained around 20 percent, data from the Reserve Bank showed.
Do you think it is a good time to invest in this sector which might see muted profits this season?

THIS WEEK IN WHITENESS: Living While Black (11-03-12)
11 March, 2012:
This week's post only highlights a few of the major blows dealt to POC, specifically Black people, at the hands of white people unaware (or not so unaware) of their own racist tendencies. Although, as the subject of the middle topic suggests, the outcome is lethal.
Being Spoken For While Black: On Monday (5 March), non-profit organization Invisible Children debuted their new film "Kony 2012," a film about the Lord's Resistance Army leader Joseph Kony. The film, which lasts about 30 minutes, decries Kony (pronounced Kohn) for his abduction of children in Uganda, turning them into tools of destruction and terror. "The arc of the video tells you that before, no one cared," wrote Michael Wilkerson of The Guardian.
"But, thanks to technology and Invisible Children, everyone can now take the necessary action to earn Kony the infamy and arrest or death he deserves. But since Invisible Children as an organisation began with a few north Americans stumbling into a conflict they didn't know existed and then resolving to help the child victims by making a movie, the base level of great white saviourdom is already high. Implying that finally now, by getting the word out about Kony via celebrities, bracelets and social media, can the LRA be ended plays into this narrative of white rescuers coming to help poor Africans and totally ignores the efforts, good and bad, by Ugandans to fight the LRA for 25 years."
Except one of the major problems with KONY 2012 is that it raises awareness without context, giving its newfound followers only one command: Stop at nothing. Apparently, this command has a corrollary: "Stop at nothing, even if Ugandans have told you to stop." People from Tumblr's own Amber Ha to the director of the World Peace Foundation to Anonymous have criticized Invisible Children, often citing its propaganda-like qualities and complete dismissal of African voices. Africans across the continent, especially in Uganda, have spoken out against Jason Russell and his organization's film.
This case of drowning out Black voices is worse than The Help: should Kony 2012 enter US politics, the potential consequences - such as further US military intervention - will be dire for Ugandans. But this is lost on many of Invisible Children's followers, who often cite supposed African helplessness and the US's right to intervene.
"The white savior supports brutal policies in the morning, founds charities in the afternoon, and receives awards in the evening," tweeted Nigerian-American author Teju Cole. There's truth in those words: "They [Hollywood producers] are getting in touch with the Academy Awards. They want this to be up for an Oscar."
Walking While Black: Although the event didn't happen this week, 17-year-old Treyvon Martin's untimely death at the hands of a white racist vigilante Neighborhood Watchman is making the news as more details are released. Website Sandra Rose reports:
On his way back from the store, carrying only a bag of Skittles and a can of Arizona ice tea, Trayvon was spotted by 26-year-old George Zimmerman. Zimmerman was the self-appointed Neighborhood Watch "captain" of the gated community called The Retreat at Twin Lakes in Sanford, 20 miles north of Orlando…A police report indicates that Zimmerman called 911 to report a "suspicious person" in the area. The police dispatcher reportedly told Zimmerman to "stand down" and wait for backup to arrive shortly.
But Zimmerman, who is white, ignored that order and exited his vehicle to confront Trayvon, who is black.A fistfight ensued and Trayvon apparently got the best of Zimmerman. Police found him standing over Trayvon, who was dead from a single gunshot wound to the chest."
Zimmerman has never been arrested; it's worth pointing out that had Martin been holding the gun and Zimmerman was the one shot, Treyvon Martin would be sitting in a cell. The police cited Zimmerman's "squeaky clean" record as part of why he has yet to be arrested and charged with murder.
Martin's family's lawyer asserts that race played a huge factor in Martin's death, as it was "the 600 pound elephant in the room. Why is this kid suspicious in the first place? I think a stereotype must have been placed on the kid." Zimmerman could very well plead self-defense, a plea that would unfairly shorten his prison time - if, indeed, he receives any.
Change.org has generated a petition demanding justice for Treyvon Martin, which can be signed here.
Arguing While Black: Today is the last day of "KBURD Week," in which POC members of the Tumblrverse - especially Black tumblers - implemented an effective stonewall against the hateful, racist commenters flooding their inboxes. Tumblers such as thegoddamazon, thenegroxperiment, dumbthingswhitepeoplesay (who was actually threatened by Tumblr staff with suspension), and jwesterlings (who is being stalked and Tumblr staff have done nothing) have been under greater attack than normal for Black bloggers who dare to talk about race and white privilege. In reaction to Tumblr staff repeatedly ignoring harassment of POC on Tumblr while acting without discrimination whenever white bloggers cry wolf, the blog POC Harassment was created to archive the death threats, racial slurs and other terrible things that white people - some of whom claim to be Feminists and allies to POC - have hurled at them. It's worth noting that the Tumblr staff is over 90% white.
If they continue to ignore the cases being built (and they shouldn't have to be) by POC bloggers on Tumblr, the Tumblr staff and their replies to POC will be a regular feature of This Week in Whiteness. Racism and white privilege are never too hard to look for - and for many POC on Tumblr, it's often right in their inbox.
Want to see a certain topic discussed? As you go through this coming week, feel free to send in any topics you want highlighted on This Week in Whiteness! Drop submissions here before 11:50pm EST Tuesday night (for the Mid-Week Highlight) and 11:50pm EST Saturday (for the Sunday post).

In response to:
Mr. Stokes: Excellent article. You summarize what we all saw. 'In stark and stunning contrast, Jack Kennedy was consistently "attentive, alert, with a suggestion of a smile on his lips.' Sound familiar? That's pretty much a description of every camera shot of Mitt Romney as he listened (and watched) Barack Obama." Nixon and Kennedy all over a again. Yes, a picture is worth a thousand words. Of course, Romney's substance was also greater--his words--and his style.

It is a frustrating thing to live in a home and to not fully use its square footage. Do you have a room that "no one ever uses?" Or… is there a room in your home that you need to function in 25 different ways? We get it and recently worked with a fabulous, repeat client here in Omaha who had an upstairs loft with a good amount of square footage and even more demands for its use.
The loft is open to the split staircase and has 3 small, square windows that provide great natural light and a bit of architectural detail. It demanded to be used as an office since the homeowner works full-time from home, however, a second family hang out room with a nook for some toddler toys was also a priority.
So… we took on the challenge.
A smaller loft size sectional fit the corner perfectly and provided 4 comfy seats without taking up all the room's floor space.
We chose a low, sleek, modern looking TV console for the opposing wall, which allowed white birch decals to cause a tall vertical presence in a room with 8' ceilings.
The color palette was determined by a choice in a whimsical green and blue floral large print area rug. You see pops of varying shades of green and blue in the room's art, pillows, and awesome jadite and green glass accessories. The collection of glass you see are some of our all-time favorites, by the way – a modern twist on inexpensive Depression Era glassware.
A black, mid-century styled desk and lucite desk chair provide the perfect landing ground for the homeowner's laptop and workspace. But, her son lives there too so we added some functional storage and a small chalkboard for him to rummage for favorite toys!
Last but, not least, you may be wondering about (insert dramatic music) THAT FANTASTIC CHAIR IN THE CORNER! Yes, it is comfy. Yes, it is 45" tall. Yes, it is awesome. Decorating success!
A room does not have to be big in order to function like you need it!

Last week, we were extremely fortunate to receive support from the Intact Foundation for our Independent Living Program!
A big issue for homeless youth in Vancouver are the significant barriers in finding housing, including the low amount of rental accommodation in the city, the high price of this type of housing and a lack of life skills with which they can obtain and retain housing.
The Independent Living Program of Covenant House Vancouver builds community relationships to increase access to affordable housing options and teaches life skills to youth so they can manage relationships with landlords, cook and clean in their apartments, and self-advocate based on their rights as tenants.
The Intact Foundation has been a valued supporter of Covenant House since 2003. Over the years, they have made a tremendous difference to our youth, enabling them to take those first critical steps in getting off of the streets.
The Intact Foundation provides support to registered Canadian charitable organizations for endeavours that foster vibrant Canadian communities by encouraging independence and strength-of-mind among youth at-risk. They also support communities in preparing for long-lasting changes in weather patterns by funding organizations that focus on climate change adaptation. In 2013, Intact contributed approximately $4 million to charitable organizations that are active in communities across Canada.
A big thank you to the Intact Foundation for helping us make a difference in hundreds of young lives!

The entrance to our Drop-In Centre has a new beautiful and welcoming mural thanks to the hard work of practicum student Ann. Ann was completing her practicum (a hands on learning experience) with our Outreach & Drop-In teams when she came up with the idea to create a mural. She dedicated a lot of time and effort into this project and the results are lovely.
Thank you Ann!
The quote featured on the wall says: "All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them."
Lionheart Sports regularly helps our athletic programs with donations of sportswear and equipment. They recently donated over 500 sport related items including track suits, rugby wear, street hockey balls, basketball clothing and sport socks. These items will allow our young people to pursue their athletic goals in comfort and style. Having our youth participate in sports program helps them to develop important life skills like problem-solving, teamwork and leadership.
Our thanks to Lionheart Sports for their wonderful support of our sports programs!

Dammit... I'm starting to go crazy here...
I've even resorted to cracking the game! It's a legit copy, but hey I'll try just about anything right now.
So anyway, using cracked exe-files didn't help. It was rather funny though because it did work like usual, with the exception of one NPC doing all these crazy gestures and suddenly flying up and down in the air before he approached my character.
Anyway... I also tried making a virtual copy of disc, but that wouldn't work when I mounted it with PowerISO at least. And that's the only virtual drive program that's worked for me so far.
I've tried running as administrator both with and without compatibility mode (both XP and Vista), and with and without disabling visual themes.
It just won't work!
The only way it does work that I have heard of is if you install the original game, then you install the Storm of Zehir expansion. If you don't patch the game it will allegedly work. The problem is... I don't have Storm of Zehir.
If anyone knows any other way I could get it running, I'd appreciate it.
I've seen some stuff about deleting registry files, perhaps that could help?
Obviously Windows 7 is still in beta so I didn't expect it to go smooth. But for the most part it's worked much better than I thought.
|My System Specs
|04 Feb 2009
Okay so I got a hold on both expansions, and tried first by installing the original game, then see if that would run. As usual, it ran for a few minutes before freezing.
Then I installed MotB, tried playing it, but with the same results.
Then I installed SoZ, but that didn't resolve the issue either.
So finally I updated with the live updating program, but still the game would freeze after only a few minutes played.
I've heard one person say that he had these problems, but he got it working after reinstalling Windows 7 and then updating the iKernel the first thing he did.
Anyone who knows why you'd want to do that? And how would you do that?
He then installed the original NWN 2 and MotB only, without updating. But since I've tried that myself with no success, the only thing left to do for me is to reinstall Windows 7, and perhaps update this iKernel thing?
So the only question I have is how would I update it iKernel?
From what I know it's the Installshield Engine, but I can't say I know exactly what it does. So if you'd happen to know I'd be thankful if you told me.

|10 Mar 2009
I've got the same problem! I even rebooted, applied the patch for windows 7 that fixes .msi installations, and installed Storm of Zehir before updating, and it STILL doesn't work! Did you get it to work? I think it's a problem with recognizing dx9, I think dx11 has some compatibility problems right now. I've gotten a lot of applications to work just by installing dx9, of course, this is not perfect and a lot of the time, it makes the program have graphical glitches! Please help out!

W7 x64 build 7068
I can't even get the game to run in build 7057 (x64). Starting it makes the screen go black like it's loading in, but then nothing happens. If I tab out, the following error messages pop up:
Unable to detect a video card with hardware 3D acceleration. Neverwinter Nights 2 requires a video card that supports then please make sure that it's enabled.
Hardware 3D acceleration appears to be disabled. If your video card supports hardware 3D acceleration, then please make sure that it's enabled.

Win7 7057
I get the exact same problem as Bargle... Also running 7057 (x64) =(
Is there anyway to trick the game into not trying to detect a 3D card? I have a feeling things may just work if I get past the error messages.
|My System Specs
|24 Mar 2009
Yeah, well I've just decided to use XP and wait until Windows 7 actually comes out. Hopefully then, they will be finished with DX11. I also had this problem a while ago with Halo 1, but eventually it just stopped happening, I think I turned on Compatibility mode for XP, but I dont' know.
|My System Specs
|27 Mar 2009
Interesting, I played Neverwinter Nights 2 flawlesslyon Build 7000 x86 but haven't installed it yet on Build 7057 x64. I'll do so in a few minutes and see if I can get it to work.
|My System Specs
|27 Mar 2009
I just installed it, and got the same error you posted about ERROR_DX_INSTALL. I am guessing because of the error the game won't run but I haven't tried that yet and will do so shortly.
|My System Specs
|27 Mar 2009
I get this message when booting it, haven't tried rebooting the PC yet or booting the program again, just got this on my first attempt.
|My System Specs
|27 Mar 2009
I'm officially clueless. Tried everything I could think of, it never freezes for me, but always pops up with that same warning. I'm unsure though if the issue is with Build 7057 or with all x64 Builds of windows 7 as the Windows 7 Build I had it running on before was 7000 x86.

I like this language change feature on this website:
In the top middle there is a link to change your country. What this does is effectively change the language of the website... are there any reliable tools for me to achieve this?
I have a website which has around 30 pages.. however it is not in a CMS/Blog platform, it is all hand coded.. can I still get a decent plugin?
Any thoughts on this is much appreciated.

Finally on this NFL Draft weekend, it appears that we have some news concerning some former Kentucky Wildcats of the football variety. Adan Schefter of ESPN is reporting that Stevie Johnson is getting loose and this time to the San Francisco 49ers.
Filed to ESPN: 49ers trading a conditoonal 2015 4th-round pick to Buffalo for WR Stevie Johnson, per sources. Pick can become a 3rd.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) May 9, 2014
It appears that the trading of Johnson is no big shock with the Bills trading up to get WR Sammy Watkins last night.
"If the Bills do end up with a receiver in the first round of the draft, Buffalo will then likely look to immediately see what they can get for wide receiver Stevie Johnson in terms of draft picks, according to sources," Buscaglia wrote. "With his increasing cap number, it isn't likely that Johnson stays on with the Bills past this season, meaning the drafting of a receiver would likely fast forward the clock on his potential departure from the team."
Johnson has just completed his seventh season with the Bills. In his career he has 543 catches for 3832 yards and 28 touchdowns. His best season was in 2010 when he had 82 catches for 1073 yards and 10 TD's, but he turned in very consistent years in 2011 and 2012 as well.
It will be exciting to see what Johnson can do on a Super Bowl level team next year.

Soon, app that lets you get cozy with fellow air traveller
For all those frequent or not-so-frequent air travellers, what about some conversation up in the sky that can lead you to a date, even to make a little turbulence in the lavatory?
You heard it right.
Here comes an in-flight app that promises to let you meet fellow passengers on your flight while you're still in the air.
Called 'Wingman', the app is created by Gabe Whaley, a copywriter in New York.
How does it work?
Create a profile with your picture, first name, age, occupation, flight number and the airline you are traveling with.
Connect to the inflight Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and you are up for grab by fellow travellers also logged in to the app.
"I think it will make people curious and you never know that someone might start a conversation that they might not have otherwise had," Whaley was quoted as saying.
"Whether they go through with it (making love) or not has nothing to do with the app. It has everything to do with them," chuckled Whaley.
The team hopes to release the app in April.

This is sort of a teaser for a card game I've designed around the Godmode AU. The character art is done by their original owners and used with their permission and discussed with them. The card design and Logo was designed by myself.
When I've completed most of the card designs I've already planned out, (mostly involving the gods shown here,+ a couple) I will release them in a printable format (arranged so that if you have a double sided printer, you can print it out without having to do anything to the files. ) And then Request for more people to submit their gods and arrange out their cards accordingly.
Rules: (still in prototyping stages)

2. CD Information
- In most cases, EAC will automatically get CD information from freedb when you insert a CD into the drive you have selected. Track titles, CD Title, CD Artist, etc will show in the EAC main window.
However, if you have not supplied an e-mail address in the freedb/Database Options, the server connection will not work. Also, if you have not checked "On unknown CDs: automatically access online freedb database" in EAC Options/General, the information will not appear automatically.
- Once you have supplied an e-mail adress, you can "manually" make EAC retrieve information about the CD by clicking "Get CD Information From...Remote freedb" in the Database menu .
If there is no information because EAC failed to contact freedb, choose "freedb/Database Options" in the EAC menu. In the popup window, click "Get active freedb server list":
If there is no information because your CD is not in the database (or if you can't establish a connection with freedb), add the information manually, see Editing CD Information below.
- If you are about to rip a CD with various artists, check the "Various Artists" checkbox.
A special scheme is used for the track titles for various artists: first the artist name, then a blank space, then a slash followed by another blank space, and finally the track title. When you have checked the "Various Artists" checkbox, EAC will interpret this as intended: the first part, before the slash, will be used as the "Artist" when the files are named according to the various artist file naming scheme you set up in the EAC Options/Filename tab.
Check all the CD information against the album artwork. If the artwork and the CD information shown in EAC differ, you need to edit the CD information in EAC.
- If the first track shows up in red, see Appendix A: Hidden Tracks.
Once in a while there will be more than one entry for a CD, and you will have to choose one of the alternatives:
If the CD information for the alternative you chose is incorrect, you can try one of the other alternatives to see if it's better. Click the Database menu and choose "Get CD Information From... Remote freedb" to see the choices again.
You can also try with "Get CD Information From... CDText", if your drive is capable of reading it. (Note that you need to check "CD-Text Read capable drive" in 5c. Offset/Speed, or this option will be greyed out in the menu.) Then EAC will try to read the information directly from the CD.
Check all the CD information against the album artwork. If the artwork and the CD information shown in EAC differ, you need to edit the CD information in EAC.

"...I am not a Combat Athlete by any means but I love this stuff! Not only does it work, but it smells good too! Being blind, I have no choice but to "see" by feel most of the time and therefore, naturally open myself up to many unwanted conditions… Whether the recent cycle of Ringworm in my household was due to several members working in the Health Care field, or the fact that I do a lot of work outdoors does not matter… What matters is that after passing it around, and having little success using the traditional medical treatments, my condition was cleared up after using the Defense Soap Shower Gel every day for two weeks! Even my Doctor was impressed! I have used several similar products in the past and while they may have worked a little… they just did not smell very good! Kind of like solvent… Defense Soap Shower Gel has a light, slightly musky, woodsy scent and several women have asked me what cologne I was wearing because, "Whatever it is, it smells good on you!" Who can argue with that? I just placed my first full order yesterday and can't wait until it gets here! Thanks again..." Lawrence S.
