The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

PHOENIX (AP) - A woman charged in her lover's slaying is testifying about the day of his death, and describing for jurors how the victim's rage was escalating, and how she never planned to kill him.
Jodi Arias has spent seven days detailing the events that to Travis Alexander's death in June 2008 at his Mesa home. On Tuesday, she began discussing the details that led to the killing. Testimony was set to resume Wednesday.
Arias says she drove from California to meet Alexander and that she had no gun or knife with her. He was shot and stabbed multiple times. Prosecutors must prove she planned the killing to secure a first-degree murder conviction and the death penalty.
She claims the killing was self-defense after Alexander attacked her. Prosecutors say she killed in a jealous rage.

GREAT FALLS - With just a few short months until prom, the hunt is on for the perfect dress, but for many young ladies, the price tag that comes with the evening can be challenging.
But Taylor Varner, a senior at CMR High School, is working to give her peers a chance to experience prom in a beautiful dress.
She said, "I really feel that everyone should have the opportunity to be a princess for at least one night."
Varner has launched Cinderella's Closet, which began as a school project to help under-privileged girls find dresses.
Varner explained, "It's just basically a way so everyone, especially those who can't afford to buy prom dresses, still have that opportunity to go to prom."
The dresses come in all sizes and colors, many of them donated or purchased from eBay.
Varner pointed out that it can be pricey to be a princess for a night, with fancy dresses costing a lot: "Most of them are around $300 to $500 that girls will spend if you buy them brand new."
Cinderella's Closet allows girls to pick a dress they like, wear it for prom night, and then return it so it can be appreciated again.
Taylor hopes that what began as a school project will continue to grow long after she's moved on for college.
Cinderella's Closet will host an event for those interested in picking out dresses on March 9th.
If you have a dress you would like to donate, you can drop them off at CMR's main office.

I absolutely luuurve the packaging of the NARS lip lacquers, I must say. They're in "fogged up" type glass with a chic NARS cap. Very, very elegant and mod. Annyyway.. Eros! A fabulous winter lipgloss. It can be applied minimally for a sheer, highlighting color. When applied minimally, it's a natural raspberry color. When applied more heavily, the plum colors appear. The texture is generally soft- A little sticky, and sadly, it tends to grip the flakes and lines of the lips, but only a bit.
This is a great color for me because I am so fair. I'm a little afraid of breaking the glass pot. But this color is a staple in my makeup bag. The only thing I do not like about it is the smell. Is it just me or does it smell like crayons? Clinique's lip glosses smell the same way. That gets on my nerves. Anyway, it goes on really easy and lasts a long time. I've noticed all of NARS laquers do. That makes me want to buy it again. However, at $20, I use my product sparingly.
I really love this lip lacquer. I wasn't really thrilled with the texture of my first NARS lip lacquer(chelsea girls), but this was much better. It has a great texture and looks so beautiful on my warm LLL skin. It looks like a deeper version of my natural lip color. I put Tarte lipgloss (the Samantha end of "Jake and Samantha")over it to give it a creamier look and it looks wonderful. I would definitely buy this again.
Eros is a pretty medium shimmery rose color on me (NC30/MMM with dark brown eyes and pigmented lips). It's very YLBB and I imagine it would suit a range of skintones (except for maybe the very dark). I really like the texture (thicker than NARS Lipgloss and more pigmented) and the soft shine it gives my lips. I don't really like the pot packaging, but I use my finger to apply a lot of lip products anyway.
Eros is a gorgeous berry shade that would look great on many skintones. I love the texture, has just the right amount of shine. I do wish this was in a tube with an applicator. (it's in a pot so you need to apply with a lip brush) Overall, raves for Eros!
After wanting this for sooo long and never being able to swap for it, I finally shelled out the $20 at purchased it myself. On my pinky pigmented lips, Eros is a cinnamony plum w/ hint of berry gold shimmery gloss! lol! Quite a description, huh? The texure is a bit tackier than what I am used to, but it helps keep the color on longer. It's a pretty color but I would have loved this in a wand or tube form.
Oh yes, I have to agree with fellow reviewers! Why doesn't this come in a tube! NARS, I love your lip laquers, but I feel like I have to be a freakin' MA carryin' around tons of tools to get this sucker on. C'est la vie -- it's well worth the strife. This beauty raspberry-gold-blush gloss caught my eye while I played at Sephora today, and I bought it on a whim, with out *gasp* EVEN READING REVIEWS FOR IT FIRST! Now I'm adding my A grade review to the mix. Yes, it's *close* to a generic color but I think the texture and pigment make it stand out from the crowd of pink berry glosses. I put it over Too Faced's Lip Injection and then I walked around thinkin, "I look hot." <3 <3 Eros!
I ADORE this color! It's just soooo beautiful!
I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't be great with eros laquer. Gives an irresistible soft berry color with a hint of shine. My HG of glosses!
Eros is a shimmery berry rose shade. Its very pretty but also very standard. Similiar to so many shades out there. But if you dont have one similiar, this is a nice option. Comes in a small jar that i wish was a tube. This is more pigmented than most glosses yet its not too sticky or overly glossy. Very nice consistency. It has a faint plastic smell which fades in two seconds so it doesnt bother me. Retails for $20.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Super beautiful, YLBB shade - enhances my pigmented lips with a gorgeous, sophisticated subtle plummy sheen. Holy grail lip gloss - perfect for a date where you want to look understatedly sexy. Word of warning - try before you buy. While this looks absolutely gorgeous on me (PPP with blue eyes) it didn't really show up as anything special on my GGG girlfriend. My only gripe is the tiny pot means it's tricky to get the stuff out with a little finger - you need a brush. UPDATE: Although I still love this, I agree with the reviewer who said it looks best on a made up face. Otherwise the raspberryish shade does tend to emphasise any redness or blemishes.

Know Your Lore: The curious dissonance of Alliance leveling {WoW}
Apr 3rd 2012 1:43AM I have a few notes:
-There are two types of story writing.
1) Have the entire story arc pre-planned, and have it unfurl slowly over the duration of the game. This is what you imply that Blizzard does.
2) Create a chapter. Finish. Create a new chapter. Finish. Create a new chapter, tying in something from a previous chapter because it sounds cool. Finish. Continue like this forever, never really pre-planning an entire character arc in advance. This is what Blizzard ACTUALLY does.
-Garrosh. In TBC, he was a nice dude. End of character development. Wotlk begins to be created, and Blizz wants to have a new guy on the offensive. They chose to bring in Garrosh and retcon his personality to fit this random new improvised story. Then they plan Cata. They decide Cata = Thrall's story, so they chose to fill the Warchief role with Garrosh. It'll stir the pot, why not? Now MoP is being created. Lets kill Garrosh! Why the hell not? We've dug ourselves into an irreversible hole with his character, so kill him off.
End of Garrosh story arc. (Note: Do you REALLY think that when they made him in TBC that he was preordained to be a final tier raid boss at 90 in the Panda expansion? Fuck no.)
TL;DR- My point is, this Cata story arc starts and ENDS in Cata. There is no "It will get better." It's actually: "THIS IS HOW IT IS. PERIOD. NO CHANGES IN SIGHT UNTIL THEY GET ANOTHER BRAINFART."
Blizzard does think of things in the span of years. It's just 1-2 years. It's per-expansion.
Breakfast Topic: How would you redesign the old character models? {WoW}
Mar 29th 2012 3:15PM I really like female night elves for one reason.
GOOD POSTURE. I absolutely hate how stupid male (troll, undead, orc, worgen, etc) look because they slouch!
I LOVE the male troll, when it stands erect!
Really though, if the men were more erect we'd see more of them. And yes, that is a sex joke. Deal with it :P
PvP twinking for dummies {WoW}
Mar 29th 2012 3:25AM Oh yea! You may thing that pvp epics are the best at 60. wrong.
get outland greens with as many sockets as possible. give them +20 agi/str/int.
I saw a ret paladin with 18 +20 str gems. she globaled people with exorcism. it was intense.
PvP twinking for dummies {WoW}
Mar 29th 2012 3:22AM Some notes:
"I'm informed that hunters are pretty great twinks all the way to level 60, so I'm going to be taking my sweet time with my little goblin."
They actually whoop ass all the way to 80. Level marksman because Aimed Shot crits are beastly and when you blow people up in a matter of seconds you get +50 focus per kill. You'll never need to steady shot. (Also bertos staff at 78 is ilevel 308 and can get the 180 agi enchant.)
"Those heirlooms? Well, at certain levels, you could enchant them, if you are or have access to an enchanter"
Enchantments on heirlooms can only be what you can enchant on a level 1 piece. Thus, your heirloom cloak that you can wear from 1 to 85 will have the same enchant from 1 to 85 (4 resil I recommend).
"A brief word about the magic level 78. This is the point where Cataclysm green gear becomes available, and if you can get it, you should."
This is not correct. The lowest level that one may obtain cataclysm item level gear (727+) is at 77. You can get ilevel 308 blue quality gear from regular dungeons (TotT & BWD) and those can have cata enchants. Also, int leather, mail, and plate is much more rare than agi/str versions. For your wallet, just get cloth, even though it's subpar.
I also want to add that maxing first aid and using the best bandages (which you wont be able to make yet) helps a lot. Use WotLK gems in your brutal pvp gear at 70. And if you really want to get serious at 70, roll a gnome and play an engineer. with the tazik shocker you can global people.
Breakfast Topic: What are you just not that excited about in Mists? {WoW}
Mar 28th 2012 2:48PM I'm disappointing that people hate PvP after trying for a little bit.
Did you have resilience gear that is up to date? Did you have as many healers as the opposing team? If not, take your experience with a grain of salt.
I find nothing more fun than fighting against the most intelligent "AI" possible. It's so much more dynamic than a boss who stands there and auto-attacks the tanks and has random spell farts.
The Queue: Come to me, Pandaria {WoW}
Mar 27th 2012 1:49AM I'd like to add:
Complaining is a good thing, kind of.
Sure, changes are coming, it's early, EARLY beta. Even after mists goes live, changes will continue. However -- why do changes exist? Because there is a problem. make sure you voice when problems exist so Blizzard fixes them. Just don't be a dick about it.
(My post isn't actually targeted towards any of you specifically, but towards this audience in general :)
Mists of Pandaria Beta: Livestreaming the Wandering Isle {WoW}
Mar 23rd 2012 6:16PM 1- Why are you posting this comment on a stream of the beta? Seems like the last place you'd want to be :)
2- When you enter the beta you can take your time, explore, immerse yourself, etc. That way, when live comes out, you can engage in the "Race" to the top (ie server firsts) without having to feel bad about missing anything/skipping interesting moments. That's why I don't mind spoilers :)
How I made 3,000 gold by level 30 {WoW}
Mar 22nd 2012 11:09PM Yea.
Mogging has made green randoms crazy fun. I spent 5k gold for my warriors outfit, and made 15k leveling to 80, all from random world green drops.
(I'm wearing the Hyperion plate with the int-heirloom shoulders as my mog set).
The Queue: Ask the beta testers {WoW}
Mar 22nd 2012 12:58PM The earlier you signed up for Annual Pass and the older your WoW account is, then the faster you get a beta invite.
You have a 100% chance of being able to get into the beta with an Annual Pass, but bear in mind that 1 week before MoP release can still count for that. By that I mean that you may not get access until the last minute.
For your reference, I have had my WoW account since early TBC and signed up for Annual Pass right away. No beta (yet).

New Albany, MS (PRWEB) August 2, 2009
Southern RobotX Commercial Lawn Mowers - With all of the auto makers pushing the limits of hybrid technology, it is no surprise to see the lawn mower industry finally following suit. Southern RobotX is leading the way with the introduction of hybrid remote control lawn mowers. While hybrid lawn mowers will not end our planet's pollution problems, they will reduce the amount of damage we do to the environment until someone comes up with an engine that runs off of seawater, or some other alternative fuel source. "Independent studies have shown that mowing the lawn does the same amount of damage to the environment as driving a car about 100 miles." - environmentalleader.com. That does not include those who use 2-stroke weed eaters as lawn mowers on slopes and ditches.
Electric mowers have been around for a while, and are very environmentally friendly. There are some really impressive robotic units that are fully automatic with sensors for this, that, and the other. However, most consumers look for products that benefit them, and not just the environment. Electric mowers are only practical on small lawns without slopes. One generally has to bury wires in the yard similar to the invisible dog fence systems and fool with charging batteries or extension cords. Remote control lawn mowers from Southern RobotX utilize a patented hybrid power system that reduces fuel consumption by 40% (compared to other mowers), while remaining practical on any lawn. And, of course, the most environmentally friendly mower is still the push reel from the days of Beaver Cleaver. But then again, it boils down to the practicality of the mower. If not many people use it, it is not doing the environment any good.
Slope mowing capabilities up to 70 degrees is where these remote control lawn mowers really become practical, and not just fun. Lawn care professionals are benefiting from increased productivity, while the environment is benefiting from reduced air pollution. A lawn care professional generally resorts to 6 or 8 men, equipped with ozone-eating weed eaters, for slopes over 40 degrees. Now they use one man, equipped with a remote control lawn mower, to take on the slopes and ditches. The others are out focusing on productivity. It is a win-win situation for the environment as well as lawn care professionals.
On the residential side of things, these remote control lawn mowers are very elderly and disabled friendly with the simple, one finger joystick control. Believe it or not, many senior citizens actually enjoy lawn maintenance, but are no longer able to enjoy the satisfaction of maintaining their own lawn due to the physical demands of traditional lawn mowing equipment. So, once again, it is another win-win situation for the environment and the consumer. Mowing the lawn is no longer a chore and, with a remote control lawn mower, is actually kind of fun.
Reducing the environmental issues with Mother Earth requires much more than just a group effort to get everyone on board with going green when the "group" is everyone in the world. Only a small percentage of the world's population is concerned with the environment. Green technology (even if it is not 100% green) benefiting the consumer, and not just the environment, is a clever way to get those that are not concerned with the depleting ozone layer to do their part without even knowing it. So, until they come out with seawater powered engines, hybrid power is the way to go.

Woodbury (65-69) and Mark Tovee (20-29) finished third overall, while Flannery was fourth in the 55-59 division.
It was an excellent evening for Flannery, who also picked up a pair of Iron Legs Awards, which go to racers who complete all of the series' races.
Flannery not only completed all eight of the road races, she also was the only local to participate in all six cross-country runs. Doherty was the only other local to complete all eight road races.

Windows Boot Issue- Possible Ext HD?
Hi everyone so I am not sure if this is the right location for this post.
for a little bit of background ive been having BSOD...a lot and thought it was either a bad internal SSD or bad memory. Well ive done a bunch of changes and updates and for the past couple of days the BSOD has seemed to dissappear. However, one of the changes required some registry keys to be changed because supposedly there is a power state thing that can make my particular SSD BSOD (this is from a guy that works for Intel) Well since ive done that last change I have found a new problem. Windows will hang/freeze on the logo at startup. I troubleshooted and now have figured out if my external Seagate HD is attached it will cause the computer to hang there. if I dont disconnect it I need to restart like 50 times for it to boot. If I disconnect it the desktop boots right up. At the logo the external "whirrs" when i get to that point but its always done that before. Now it just freezes. So I am not sure how to fix the problem. I dont want to connect my external everytime after boot. Also ive attached an image of my windows assessment. My primary disk score is very low and it drops down like this once in awhile. i re-test and it goes back to 7.9. Is this an SSD issue should I still look into replacing the SSD. Intels SSD Toolkit gives me an error "cannot communicate with SSD" and windows has it as a SCSI drive. But I am also told this is normal with my SSD. Thanks for any help. |

heres the image of the assessment i was talking about. every so often it drops down like that and I dont know why or if this is connected with my problems.

...also this seams terribly wrong...
My System Specs |
31 Jan 2013 | #4 |
As to not finding the SSD, I recently switched from a Crucial M4 SSD to a Kingston SSD -- and their utility can't find my SSD, either. Their website said to change my AHCI driver to the MS one -- but I've confirmed that is already the case.
As to the SSD performance benchmarks, the screenshot you posted shows the status bars still incomplete -- in which case, some of the numbers would be blank. But ... that same screen shows over 30 minutes remaining in the 4K test -- and when I reran mine, it took about 10 seconds or so. So, something is clearly wrong. Also, on mine, it has msahci - OK and 1024K OK, instead of what yours shows. I had really poor performance on the Crucial M4 until I went to their forums and found out I had to do an Alignment on my SSD. You should check with Intel to see if that is the problem your SSD is facing. |
My System Specs |
01 Feb 2013 | #5 |
I took that picture while it was in progress and I have uploaded a finished snapshot of it. I think it took about 2 hours to run the test.....
Ive contacted Intel about it and the only thing they say is that the 520 SSD's have a different controller and the Intel SSD Toolbox wont "see" them. They also stated this is why it reads as a SCSI drive in my device manager. they said this wouldnt affect funtion or performance. Does anyone know a tool I could run to check for SSD problems or to figure out if I should send this drive back? |

Ice cream best bets on Long Island
What makes ice cream worth going out for is the use of real vanilla, fine cocoa and fresh fruit. Most important, it takes an ice-cream chef with a burning passion for frozen desserts.

Performance gains of up to 80% are apt to raise a few eyebrows in the HPC community, so it's no surprise that folks took notice when Intel launched the new Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 (code-named Sandy Bridge). What you might find surprising is how long it took vendors to begin delivering products that took advantage of the new processor. The Intel Xeon processor E5 family launched on March 6. Complete clusters and optimized applications were available for purchase on… March 6!
That's something new in the HPC world. It took a lot of behind the scenes effort for Intel and independent hardware and software vendors to synchronize their development cycles and launch dates. Dozens of systems and applications were available on day one. Customers had other options, too. They could upload their application to a test bed cluster from a leading cluster vendor. Or they could spin up a Intel Xeon processor E5 family cluster in a public cloud in a matter of minutes.
The upshot of all this is that new clusters based on the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 are now available from a number of leading hardware vendors, along with cluster management software and a variety of optimized applications. Many of these products are Intel® Cluster Ready certified (or registered, in the case of applications). That means you can mix and match them with confidence. Any registered application will run reliably on any certified cluster right out of the box, which makes implementation a lot simpler and less risky. Pick an application. Pick an appropriately sized cluster. Load one on the other and you're off and running—at significantly faster speeds than you would have experienced just a few weeks ago.
If you're not familiar with the new Intel Xeon processor E5 family, you'll find that it delivers more resources across all key parameters in comparison with the previous-generation Intel Xeon processor 5600 series. Whether your workloads are CPU-, memory-, or I/O-bound, you should see significant performance benefits. Highlights of the new architecture include:
- 2X more I/O bandwidth, with a 32% reduction in latency
- 2X more socket-to-socket bandwidth
- 2 more cores and 2.5 MB more cache per core
- Up to 2X faster floating point performance
- More and faster memory (up to 768GB/1600Mhz in a dual-socket system)
If you're an HPC user looking for cluster solutions based on this new processor, any of the following Intel Cluster Ready members would be a good place to start: AMAX, Atipa, ClusterVision, Colfax, E4, Eurotech, Fujitsu, Silicon Mechanics, Viglen, and transtec. Each of these vendors had Intel Cluster Ready certified systems or registered software available at launch. The solutions they offer range from small clusters that could fit on your desk to multi-rack supercomputers that push the limits of HPC capability. (You can find additional lists of certified clusters and registered applications on the Intel Cluster Ready website.
If you're looking to build your own cluster solutions, you might want to check out the following resources:
- Intel® Cluster Ready Reference Designs
- Intel® Cluster Checker 1.8, which includes full support for the Intel® Xeon® Processor E5 2600 processor family (and the associated Romley platform).
- Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2600 Family Cluster Solutions Guide, which provides an overview of supported components for the new Intel Xeon processors. This guide provides information and recommendations about Intel server hardware, new processor features, management software, storage, interconnects, and other HPC cluster components. It can help you get an optimized cluster up and running faster. You can download the guide here.
Regardless of whether you're a user or a vendor, I hope you'll look into the new resources that are now available. Cluster computing is getting faster, simpler, and a lot more cost-effective, which is opening up new opportunities for everyone. The Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 family is just another step forward on the journey. Well, maybe a leap.

If you've been waiting to see more of the heavy-metal thrashing MMO World of Tanks, then we've got a treat for you. The newest video from the team over at Wargaming.net shows off some of the sweet visuals that players can expect to see in this explosive upcoming game.
Aside from just showing off tanks blowing each other into next year, it also shows off how much time and detail the team has put into recreating some of the the 150 WWII tanks that the game features. From long-range guns to closer-range weapons, this looks to be a pretty creative use of enormous rolling machines in PvP. How the mechanics will roll out (no pun intended) isn't quite clear, but it's still a tasty look for those who can't wait to get on the field and blow things -- and other players -- to bits.
The video awaits you behind the break, so be sure to click on through if explosions and huge hulking behemoths of steel are your thing!

Good graphics, gameplay looks fun, but I don't think I could play a game like that for more than 1 or 2 hours at a time. I hope they have more in store, because it looks pretty like it may get boring fast.

While the battle ui, engine and instanced combat are more or less done and running stable, WoT is effectively still in content alpha. Only a few nations tanks and maps are complete. They're mastering the recipe before they mass produce the cookies and that seems a good plan. Persistent strategic worlds,clan battles are much more are coming.

Kinda curious what the whole MMO aspect of the game is going to be -- in terms of having any real long-term reason to pay to play the game. Looks like it'd be a ton of fun, but what is going to make it long-term?

Not much to say here, don't think I'd like this game much.. but eh some might.
Agreeing with the above comments though, there better be a good amount of content and some more things to do aside from shoot each other with tanks or this game will go flat on its butt.

Suspect Zero is about serial killers, FBI agents trained to solve crimes telepathically, and a corona-like play of light behind Ben Kingsley's bald head that turns the actor's profile into the universal pictograph for psychological danger. But mostly, director E. Elias Merhige's art-house-style pulp thriller is about ornate, cinematic mood -- images that say: America is a place of lonely truck-stop diners and evil child-killers posing as average men.
I don't believe the message, least of all as Merhige obsessively paints it, in a rain-drenched genre study in which every character is photographed on a tilt, or in extreme close-up. Naturally, the scrawls produced by Kingsley as Benjamin O'Ryan (Killer? Rogue FBI agent? Crazy person? All three?) are eerily beautiful enough to hang in a SoHo art gallery. They always are in movies like this.
Merhige, who previously put his taste for German expressionism to exquisite use in ''Shadow of the Vampire,'' sets his modern-day bloodsuckers in Albuquerque, N.M., where Tom Mackelway (Aaron Eckhart, matching Kingsley scenery chew for chew), a verifiable fed, has been demoted for a plot bonus. Carrie-Anne Moss plays Tom's excessively gloomy partner. ''What a f---in' freak,'' she observes, delicately, in the script by Zak Penn (''X-2: X-Men United'') and Billy Ray (''Shattered Glass''), when the two uncover a lair strewn with O'Ryan's scrawls. The truth is, the freakiness kinda turns the director on, and he nearly strangles ''Suspect Zero'' with love.

Respect: The Life of Aretha Franklin2014 Wednesday, January 14, 2015 Aretha Franklin, Queen of Soul, was born to gifted and well-to-do parents. Her mother was a singer and her father was a well-known preacher who marched alongside Martin Luther King, Jr. during the Civil Rights movement. Life wasn't a piece of cake. Aretha's mother left the family when she was young leaving the father as a single parent. Her father showcased her childhood talent by waking her up in the middle of the night to play piano and sing for his party guests. Aretha experienced her first pregnancy at the age of 12, her second baby arrived when she was 15 and she dropped out of school. Aretha's babies were raised by big mama, her father's mother. Aretha experienced her first recording session with Columbia Records in 1960 at the age of 18. The book covers her years her early years of gospel singing in the church which taught her the response and call method she employed throughout her career. She was associated with Columbia, Atlantic and Arista Records. She dealt with a variety of agents and collaborators most notably Jerry Wexler. We discover that Aretha is a dreamer who has trouble following through with grandiose plans. She is a diva who jealously protects her status as Queen. Aretha is unable to manage her financial affairs and tour schedules, has a fear of flying and is often not on speaking terms with fellow musicians or family members for months at time. Yet she is an artist whose work is greatly admired. Her classic recordings of Chain of Fools, RESPECT, Think, and other works are considered standards in the R&B canon. Ritz's readable but detailed biography could have focused more time on Franklin's personal life but the star is notoriously private. Ritz interviewed countless acquaintances and family members in order to construct this inside look at Franklin's life. |

So, I've been looking at squads with Wave 2 ships, and I fnd myself adding Stealth Device a lot. Because really, who couldn't use an extra Defense die for 3 points?
So you have a TIE fighter with Agility 3, now with Stealth Device it's a 4, Range 3 through an asteroid is now 6 dice!!!!!
And for Rebels, you can have R2F2 and Stealth Device to up your Agility by 2.
But then I got thinking, how do you counter that? One word: Wedge.
So, with the Stealth Device now in the game, does that mean Wedge is now a must-have for Rebel squads? Not that he wasn't before, but I mean REALLY a must-have now?

Cactus Jordi (the grower and photographer extraordinaire - yeah, that guy) 'loaned' me this photo - I like to think it's a contemplative scene, but I'm also told to get rid of the icons for a better picture (advice also from CJ). Anyway, like I was saying somewhere else, wouldn't it be great to be an ant and enter the cactus spine / wool vortex (part of the space / time continuum, naturally)!
Cactus Jordi's Uebelmannia crebispina apex |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sweet pic! (I do agree with CJ about the icons.) This strikes me as one of those pics that could have some educational uses -- and not just for a botany class. I could see this used in a class discussion dealing with photography, art, or even as story topic/subject in a creative writing/composition class. |

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How is it possible to sell these products so much less than other companies?
Our unique sales and marketing strategy allows us to save large amounts of money by not hiring a national sales force to distribute our products. Furthermore, we do not have large marketing budgets based off exorbitant costs of race and show sponsorships.
Is this a quality product?
Absolutely, but don't take our word for it. Click on the image below to pull up our latest unbiased reviews on our product and services through our ebay store.
How much is shipping and how long will it take before I get my kit?
Shipping is based on order total and orders over $400 ship for free to the continental USA!. Visit our shipping map for an estimate of how many work days it will take for you to receive your product. See the shipping chart below for shipping cost to the continental USA.
I live in California. Can I use this product?
Check local regulations before purchasing. Some areas (parts of California) may require a special "low VOC" version of this kit. Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com for more details.
What is the difference in the two clears?
Both clears will give you a high gloss "wet look" when used properly. The UC-210 Glamour clear is higher in solids which means you get a deeper "wetter" look with fewer coats. However, the Glamour clear is a bit harder to spray and dries slower than the MS clear. In general, painters with a lot of experience tend to prefer the HS glamour clear whereas the average novice painter prefers the MS clear, UC-410.
Which reducer should I use?
Choose your reducer based on the temperature and the size of the object you are painting. Generally speaking you should use medium reducer up to 85 degrees then switch to slow when painting a car When painting a bike or other smaller object use fast reducer up till 75F then switch to Medium.
Do you have more photos of cars and bikes?
We regularly add customer project photos to our facebook page. Click the banner here to visit then click on photos.

"Don't worry, it's still early"
Those are the words of denial, and they're often the most annoying words that have ever been part of a sentence related to fantasy football. There is no "early" when the playoffs start in Week 15, making the regular season only 14 games long. Some leagues even begin their post season in Week 14.
No, you don't need to wear water wings every Sunday and dive into a kiddie pool at the first sign of trouble. That would be weird, unnecessary, and it'll probably piss off your mother. She likes to keep the basement clean.
But on the other end of that extreme, poor performances early in the season or production that falls far below what was expected can't simply be disregarded because of the calender. Which brings us to Matthew Stafford.
The Lions are 1-3, which has created its own unique brand of panic in Detroit, although fans there are quite familiar with such pain and will easily adapt to any losing environment. But what of Stafford? He was drafted as one of the elite, top tier quarterbacks (ADP of about 10th overall) following a season when he passed for over 5,000 yards. His passing yards this year are holding up, although he's not on pace to duplicate last year's upper echelon play (current pace is 4,728 yards). But his touchdowns are down significantly at the quarter pole, as is his passer rating.
Should you be worried? Sigmund Bloom doesn't think so. I talked to Bloom, a senior writer at Football Guys and a host for The Audible, their excellent and thorough podcast, and I asked him about Stafford after touching on Ryan Mathews, Brandon Bolden and the Patriots' backfield, and Ryan Tannehill's keeper outlook.

As long as the dog has gotten the exercise he/she needs before you leave him/her or at least some exercise before you go, the dog should be fine no problem. Since there will be someone there to allow the dog to go out to the bathroom, the dog should be fine. The Border Collie breed needs an average of 2 - 3 hours of hard exercise a day to tire him/her out. While the Rough and Smooth Collie need an average of 1 - 2 hours of hard exercise per day. I would suggest adopting an adult dog, as that will give you the maximum amount of wiggle room with leaving the dog at home before you exercise him/her when you get home. Look into puzzle-games and other forms of mental exercise for your dog while you are away.7/7/2014 9:49:10 AM

shelties are fine with male or female but collies are territorial and usually fight with other male dogs so a female dog would be the best 4/27/2014 6:50:53 PM
The best combination is male/female. Second best is male/male and third is female/female. All likely would get along though. Spaying/neutering help them get along much better.4/29/2014 1:15:34 AM
I have owned a pomapoo, German Shepherd and multiple Keeshonds and I have found the Keeshond to be the best breed out there. The Keeshond is a wonderful family dog...good with people, children and other pets. They bark at every sound but wouldn't actually hurt anyone or anything. I had 3 and they were all wonderful and healthy pets. You have to brush them at least once a week with a wire brush to keep the coat from matting but are otherwise a very easy to maintain pet. I have 1 of mine left( the 2 older ones died last year) but am looking for another to add to my family. I highly recommend if you are willing to spend 30 minutes a week grooming it.4/25/2013 5:48:19 PM
A collie is an excellent watch dog. They are easy to train and can be trained to bark when appropriate. Mine bark when a car, a stranger, or a strange animal come to our house. I can tell the difference between their barks and they stop when I tell them "it is okay". Collies naturally love people and get along well with other animals because they have an instinct to protect/herd other animals. 6/25/2013 10:13:18 PM
Some young male collies are hesitant or tentative breeders. Their first experience should probably be with an experienced female. Collies don't have any more trouble producing pups than any other breed -- however, there are inheritable vision and health conditions that at potential breeder should understand. You should avoiding breeding dogs that carry those traits. 8/19/2013 1:31:54 PM
Collies have several health issues. The greatest one by far is the "Collie Eye Anomaly" Most of our collies out there have this, actually over 90%. What this means is that the pigment in the back of the eye is not as dark as it should be to reflect the light. For a pet it is something you would never notice. The other issue, that most breeders have done away with is bloat. They are a large thoracic dog (deep chested) and if they eat to fast and then drink water and then run around they can bloat. Which is a problem that the intestines turn. Very similar to colic in a horse. It can be life threatening. To avoid this, soak there food in water and let it sit then keep them quiet to digest their meal. Most responsible breeders will have all their litter's eye check completed before they go to their new homes.11/20/2013 11:46:40 AM
The most common problem to any dog is an owner who has not taken the time to consider the needs of the dog. Your collie needs love and attention. He craves petting and playing. He needs exercise, good food, fresh water and shelter from the elements. If you can provide these things, you are ready for a collie. Buy from a reputable breeder who will give you a health guarantee. Keep up to date on shots and workings. 12/7/2014 7:41:30 PM
Collies are ok in apartments if exercized regularly. They like to work retrieving ball and catching frisbees. 5/12/2013 2:24:06 AM
Many people keep their collie in an apartment. Since the breed is basically rather lazy, it will be fine as long as he gets a good long walk, preferably both morning and night. This is very important for his health and good for yours as well. Consider it a wonderful investment in your health to have a companion to keep you on track with your exercise.12/7/2014 7:38:07 PM
Please ask your vet. Also note- Collies can have a problem absorbing zinc wich is an important skin mineral. A zinc sulfate deficiency can look exactly like mange, but you won't be able to find any mange mites under the microscope. Supplementing your collie's diet with zinc sulfate vitamins will give you a positive response in 10 days if it is actually a zinc problem. I have a white collie that requires zinc and night time excersise so the sun doesn't burn his face. I buy his zinc sulfate (for people) from the pharmacy $6 for 200 pills and one pill a day- it is cheap to manage. cheap 10/5/2013 11:17:42 PM
Most dog websites including this one can give you the AKC standard sizes. There are collies only 21 inches at the shoulder and 50 pounds in weight. There are also collies that are 28 inches tall and almost 100 pounds.11/12/2012 2:12:40 PM
Collies do shed some. It depends on if they stay indoors or outside.If they outside they will need to be brushed alot cause they have a thick undercoat for the winter. And they will shed this coat .I have heard that smooth coat collies are supoose to help with this problem.5/29/2012 9:40:33 PM
Both rough (long coated) and smooth (short coated) collies shed A LOT. Brushing helps control the wild hair, but there will still be a great deal of undercoat lost. I have knitted scarves from my dogs' shedded hair. One breed that people with allergies can often tolerate are poodles. 8/19/2013 1:34:30 PM

Hi collie's do shed quite a lot, its like any long haired dog breed, you have to be prepared to put in the time for grooming the coat, maybe once per week is sufficient, they are a beautifully natured dog and look great when looked after well.8/3/2012 10:10:59 AM
They probably shed less than short haired breeds, but the hairs are long, so you might notice some hair on furniture and carpets. This can be cured by frequent dusting and vacuuming. Collies need to be brushed about once a week, to keep their coats looking gorgeously beautiful. If you train them early, it's a simple matter to give them a shower and shampoo as well.12/7/2014 7:47:41 PM

RWC draw is it a fair process?
December 4, 2012 in Uncategorized
Well I do not have to much of a problem with the rugby world cup draw.
It is done in three tiers so the top teams avoid each other in the group rounds. It is done a bit early in the 4 year cycle and no one can predict how the teams you will be playing against will climb or fall during the next 3 years.
Their reason for this early drawing is set to be that this gives the organizers enough time to get the "big" games at big stadiums at the optimum time so as to get the most money out of it. Sounds fair?
I think though it could be done better. Because for all HM messages about winning all 3 EOYT matches even if it is by one point because of the RWC draw. It would have made no difference if we were no.1 or no.4!! France being no.4 in the world got a lot easier group than Aus who is no.3. Is that fair?
I think it should not be a draw at all. It should be divided into 4 groups according to world ranking points. Easy!!
Group A – 1,8,12 with two qf
Group B – 2,7,11 with two qf
Group C – 3,6,10 with two qf
Group D – 4,5,9, with two qf
Group A and S should then play QF together and B and C should go against each other. It is so logical but maybe that is the thing this makes just to much sense for the IRB. They just like to F#ck everything up as much as possible.
As things stand Nz who has a clear margin at the top of the IRB rankings had no advantage over France who was no.4 in the rankings.
Just a thought.

We have a 1997 Roosevelt Luxury Firm by Beautyrest, and it still seems firm and supportive. My husband was in a bad car accident, breaking thoracic vertebrae and herniating some cervical discs, and have been advised to get a new mattress because of the age of ours. Seems like your advice to get a non-pillowtop/non-memory foam mattress paid off for us, but if we need to get a new mattress, what is comparable to this one, which I think is a long-discontinued model? We don't like anything that makes us hot, like so many of the foam toppers which are sold now. Really appreciate your blog, by the way. Shopping for mattresses is worse than car shopping!
Hi Julie,
Mattresses aren't as well made as they were 14 years ago. Today, they are made to appeal to your sense of comfort...your sense of luxury...hence, the memory foam and pillowtops.
Having been in an accident and having damage to his body, your husband will be very sensitive to the changes a mattress goes through as it wears. In today's market, those changes occur almost immediately...unlike your 14 year old model. So, instead of just going out and buying a good mattress and trusting the salesperson, you are faced with having to work around the lack of quality and deceitful sales practices. The industry and the salespeople want you to buy what they want to sell...as opposed to helping you find something that's right for you and something that will hold up. So now, you can't simply buy a mattress, you have to out-smart the entire mattress selling machine that has arisen since the last time you bought one.
Doctors are big on "firm" when it comes to a mattress. Some, however, have bought into the memory foam hype...and should simply stay out of the mattress recommending business. If you can stand the heat it produces and withstand the harsh chemical off gassing and the inability to change position without waking up...if you can get through all of that as initial problems that aren't discussed at the time of sale...then memory foam will do what they say it will do...but not for very long.
Now that I've had my fun for the morning, berating doctors who meddle in things of which they have no knowledge...back to your husband.
I don't think there is any question that he is going to require firm support. I don't think there is any question that his pain will amplify on a mattress that is too hard.
There's a couple of way to approach this...depending on the missing factor from your question...his size.
At average or lighter weight, you can usually get buy with a mattress alone...something firm but not too firm. Here are links to two of my favorite choices under the circumstances.
If he is a big man...keeping in mind that mattresses aren't made as well as the one you have, then a two pronged solution is better...a firmer mattress that will support heavier weight and a latex topper to soften the surface. Unlike just buying a softer mattress, which has too much depth of softness and won't keep its shape very long, a harder mattress with a soft latex layer provides comfort that lasts without sacrificing the underlying firm support. Latex is extremely resilient, as well as comfortable. This resiliency absorbs some of your body weight and will increase the longevity of the mattress.
Here are some links...for the topper...and for some harder mattresses at varying price points.
Thanks, Pete

Giant Steps: Hiking Nounou-East "Sleeping Giant" Trail on Kauai
by: Maureen O'Connellposted: Mon Nov 25, 2013 at 11:01 AM
The climb up Nounou Mountain, also known as "Sleeping Giant," is dotted with vast ocean and coastal views)
Scan the rugged, leafy hills that are the backbone of Kauai's east side on the drive between Wailua and Kapaa towns, and it doesn't take long to make out the profile of Nounou Mountain. More famously known as "Sleeping Giant," its emerald ridgeline resembles a human figure reclining on his back, chest held high and chin jutting toward the sky.
Hawaiian folklore varies as to why the colossus never so much as blinks an eye. In one story, he is a beloved builder of heiau (temples), with fields of kalo (taro) planted in his footsteps, who, after eating too heartily at a lū'au held in his honor, slips into a deep sleep. In another tale, the big guy is something of a pest, his slumber foisted on him by fishermen who trick him into eating snooze-inducing rocks tucked into super-size servings of fish and poi.
Standing at the base of Nounou on a sunny spring day, gazing at the giant, however, I'm opting to think of him as a kindhearted gent who wouldn't mind my hiking companion and me ascending almost 1,000 feet along the Nounou-East trail, which levels out at his chest.
On an island known for its multitude of breathtaking nature trails, many of them lengthy and challenging daylong adventures, the Nounou-East trail may be one of Kauai's most popular for its brevity and location. At just two-miles long, the trail's vistas are accessed quickly, allowing visitors to easily fit a few hours of pleasant hiking into their schedules. Additionally, its trailhead is less than 10 miles from Lihue Airport.
Nounou-East is one of 34 trails and roads on Kauai administered by Na Ala Hele, Hawai'i's statewide trail and access system. If you're looking to reap dazzling scenic rewards for taking on a difficult hike, the Nounou-East trail is hardly in the same league as the plunging sea cliffs and deserted white sand beaches of the Na Ala Hele system's 11-mile Kalalau Trail on Kauai's majestic Napali Coast. However, by this morning's end, I find Nounou's payoff wonderful just the same.
The Sleeping Giant trail begins with a soft-on-the-feet path zigzagging through stretches of fragrant ironwood pines and guava trees. Less than a half-mile into the hike, my companion has already stopped several times to photograph stunning views of Nounou Forest Reserve mauka (inland) and Wailua Bay makai (seaward). Instead of finding contentment strolling casually and enjoying the foliage shimmering in light tradewinds, I'm itching to pick up the pace. I can't help it.

The G1600 is seen coming out of the shadows on the front of the box and it proudly displays the 1600W in gold. Lepa says that the unit is capable of peaking at 1700W as well, not that you have a snowballs chance in hell of ever getting there without putting some serious thought and money behind the project.
Almost everything you want to know is on the back of the unit. Features, specifications, connectors...it is all here.
The top of the box is similar to the front and doesn't offer anything extra.
The bottom is identical to that of the top.
Lepa has certainly missed some opportunities to offer up some extra information on the unit such as cable quantities and lengths.

In 1985, Ohio made Isotelus the state's official fossil. Isotelus is a trilobite that existed between 430 and 480 million years ago. At that time, an ocean covered much of what is now Ohio. A trilobite was an invertebrate marine creature having a hard outer shell or skeleton. Two lines crossed the body of the trilobite, making it appear to be in three parts. Trilobite means "three-lobed creature." Isotelus primarily lived during the Ordovician Age and was one of the largest trilobites, with some of them reaching more than two feet in length.
