Patrick Fitzsimmons' moving and euphoric sixth album is aptly titled Hope Is (Malletts Bay Records). The title is directly inspired by the Emily Dickinson poem, "Hope Is The Thing With Feathers," but the albums emotional content is grounded in powerful real life events. The upcoming release is the singer-songwriter's definitive statement after a brave and victorious two-and-a-half-year battle with a very deadly form of cancer. "This album and the Dickinson poem reflect the thing in your soul that keep you going when you you're afraid you might not make it . That fighter instinct inside is hope, and we tap into it to keep going," Patrick Fitzsimmons says. The critically acclaimed songwriter has been called "one of the most captivating songwriters around today" (Relix Magazine). WFUV Radio's John Platt has said: "Patrick has such a melodic gift and crystal clear voice...a singer-songwriter of the first rank." The Vermont-based artist is a three-time Plowshares Songwriting Contest finalist, and has had his songs placed in several independent films. Fitzsimmons has been a top-charting artist at Folk DJ, Americana Radio, and Roots Music Report. His song "The Girl With the Sad Eyes" was nominated for Nashville's Just Plain Folks Music Awards. He's also a two-time finalist at SolarFest – 2011 and 2012. Fitzsimmons has shared the stage with Bob Dylan, The Dave Matthews Band, Ellis Paul, Lucy Kaplansky, Joan Osborne, Dar Williams and Shawn Colvin. Dar Williams remarked of Fitzsimmons' talents: "It's really not fair that Patrick writes such beautiful songs and is such a fine guitarist." Fitzsimmons began writing Hope Is in winter 2011. He was cancer free but creatively blocked, so he forced himself into a "song a day" regimen. He made an agreement with his long-distance girlfriend that, at end of each day, he would debut a song to her via Skype. The two called these "Skype Dates." Being that the relationship was bi-coastal—him east in Vermont, her west in Washington State—he had until 3:00 AM each night to come up with a tune. "I got tired of complaining about being blocked, so I just jumped in with a song a day for a week. Regardless if it was a piece of garbage or a masterpiece, it just had to be finished before I called her at 12:00 AM her time," Fitzsimmons details. One of the first tunes to come was the shimmering and jangly "I Found You," a charming and uplifting pop-rock tune. "That was particularly rewarding because it's a catchy little tune, and a love letter to my girlfriend. I delivered the goods and let her know how I was feeling about her." The pastorally beautiful "Mountaintops" is a warm and candid snapshot from this period of creative rebuilding. Fitzsimmons sings: There is grace in places we don't see/Don't be afraid to say you do not know/And if it's time to leave it's all right, don't fright/Just come and say goodbye before you go. The song's inspiration came from a conversation about the songwriting process Fitzsimmons perfected on his previous five albums, and how that wasn't working anymore. "I realized I don't have to be the same. It's ok to do it differently. Things just aren't happening the way they used to happen," he explains. "The other inspiration was someone close to me getting sick and, while recovering, he was feeling like he had to hold it all together, as he always had, for his family and business. This is me trying to suggest to him that if he let some of this go, it will be ok, and the world will adjust. So I saw it as both of us having an opportunity to learn that it's ok to change the way we do things as we change as human beings." The album ends with the winsome and hypnotic title track. "Hope Is" is a stunning mantra-like composition referencing the Dickinson poem and reflecting the inner peace achieved after deep, soulful struggle. The buoyant drive of the album marks a compositional breakthrough for Fitzsimmons. "I purposely wrote with drum machines this time. I wanted the songs to be as strong and meaningful as I could make them but also wanted to make, overall, a rhythmically upbeat album," he reveals. Hope Is was tracked in New Jersey at Mixolydian Studios, Dirt Floor Studios, and Balsam Studio. It was produced by Fitzsimmons along with engineer/co-producers Tom Askin and Grammy nominee Dan Myers. Myers and Fitzsimmons were both in the esteemed folk-rock band From Good Homes, signed to RCA in the late 1990s. Myers sits in on keyboards and saxophones. Grammy nominee Brady Rymer, also From Good Homes, adds bass and electric guitar. Tom Askin from The Samples fills in with piano and backing vocals. John Ginty from Jewel, Santana, Sheryl Crow, and Ryan Adams is on Hammond organ. Railroad Earth violinist Tim Carbone is highlighted Fitzsimmons' cover of Bob Dylan's Sara. Hope Is affirms the power of positivity. "I truly believe that outlook has a lot to do with survival," Fitzsimmons says. "When I was thinking 'Where does hope come from?' and I saw this Emily Dickinson poem, it helped me visualize this thing with feathers, there inside us, perched and ready to take flight." | |||||

Bleach: Of Fate and Phoenix 60 Chapter Sixty:Rhythm of DeathSwang downfingers against the pageChop downdestroying a guilded age The moment was muted; Karin's mouth tightly shud her navy irises floating in wide white saucers. The muscles in her arms wouldn't even dare to twitch as she watched the Vasto Lorde Queen dig her long blade-like fingernails into the chest of the Vasto Lorde Sonido.The claws pinned Sonido the dusty ground with a heavy thud. He made no cry of pain, but rather flopped almost pitifully to the dirt, as if resisting any type of movement.Karin, still in shock, backed up and into the cloak surrounding the Elder. She flinched and twisted her head to glance for a second at the Vasto Lorde, who was silent. She had no idea what it was thinking."Ahh," The Queen, Elsa, hissed angrily. Or rather, the puppet attached to her other hand hissed."Why'd he go do that?" Gulo slobbered, his head tilted toward Leviathon, who remained silent. He was staring intently down at Sonido; seeming c
Arise, Burning Phoenix 2The next few days passed quickly for Karin. Just because she now possessed a zanpakuto did not, apparently, mean she was free from school. Sitting in the classroom, watching the teacher write math problems on the board, was not something she had ever really enjoyed doing, but now it was even worse. She attempted to draw out her powers when she was alone, but it never worked. In fact, she couldn't even get the sword to respond when the Shinigami started giving her lessons. While she would never tell anyone else, including Yuzu, that she feared it had all been a fluke, she couldn't help but worry. What if it had all been mistake? What if she had never been meant to use those powers? Had she done something wrong? After a few minutes, she would usually begin to force the thoughts away. What good would they do her? No one, in her world or other, seemed to have a clue about what had happened that day in the field.A few captains had come to her house with Ichigo and Rukia one day to ask her
A Peachy MeetingStanding in the middle of the living room, Karin looked at the boy in front of her, eyebrow raised in question. The boy was glancing off to the side, avoiding eye contact, and had a hint of red graced across his cheeks."So let me get this straight, Toshiro. You want me to come with you to Soul Society and meet your sister?" questioned the raven-haired Kurosaki."That's right.""Can I ask why?"The snowflake gritted his teeth as he hissed out a single word. "Matsumoto."That just raised further questions in Karin's mind. "Rangiku? What does Rangiku have to do with this?""She blabbed to her women's organization about you and now Momo wants to meet you because she thinks you're my girlfriend," explained the young taicho." Toshiro, I am your girlfriend, remember?""I know that! I just wanted to keep our relationship a secret.""A secret? Why?""Momo still treats me like a baby and thinks I'm too young to have a girlfriend.
The Choices We Make ch 5As she woke up, it was dark and silent. Toushirou had apparently taken her back to her body, but she was still in spirit form, leaning against his chest. With a sigh, she righted herself a little, but stayed in the protection of his embrace. As he started to pull back, she stopped him.Dont, please.Karin, he said miserably, dont do this. We belong in different worlds.I know, she said softly, worming an arm around him. It matters, but its not enough.I cant leave Soul Society. To live separated like that wouldnt be fair to either of us. Its better A finger on his lips silenced him.Shh, I know. Ill miss Dad and Yuzu, but I needed to move out anyway. Yuzu will cry for ages, but shes stronger than she looks.Applicable to your entire family, Hitsugaya joked wearily.Yes yes it is.But I wont pull you away from

hello folks! i work for a swiss software company and we are developing a framework for automated software testing. therefor we are looking for demo data, which we could use for testing and demo purposes of the testing framework. we thought we could take some open source project and run their tests. so now to my question, are there tests for gentoo? i suppose the release process for gentoo involves testing. are there any automated tests, that are accessible somewhere? we would also publish the test results if the whole thing works, maybe we would even be able to do this on a daily basis (nightly builds), but that depends on the number of tests and the hardware we have available here, which we dont know in detail yet. thanks cheers marc -- +----------------------------------+-----------------------------+ | Marc Doerflinger | Software Echo AG | | mdoerflinger@... | www.software-echo.com | | | Technoparkstrasse 1 | | | 8005 Zuerich, Schweiz | +----------------------------------+-----------------------------+ -- firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list

More reviews by YellowroseofTexas
This is a hidden gem. The previous reviewer describes it perfectly. The color is texture is as she described. It blends in perfectly on my DDD skin giving me a smooth texture. I'm using it instead of fdnt. I apply the vanishing cream than use my concealer to cover old ance spots. Looks like perfect skin. I use a tran. powder to set and I'm good to go. Oily ladies...... I do NOT have to blot throughout the day. That is unheard of for me. I'm surviving the Texas heat without my makeup melting off my face. A definate winner for $12-.
This is the best best best. Hi-Brown Vanishing Cream looks like pink mousse in the jar, but it goes on with no color. It settled on my face like a second skin. No make up-y feeling at all. I got a 4.5 oz jar for 12.00!!! I'm so glad my sister in law turned me on to this. I put my Armani away......I hope I dont have to come back with an edit but for now...I'm in love.

Australian Superannuation – A Choice For Your Senior Years
Australia has its fair share or senior citizens and elderly citizens. Like other residents, these individuals must prepare for retirement and their golden years. This is done via superannuation, which are essentially the arrangements people take to ensure they have enough funds for retirement.
When it comes to securing your retirement, employer contributions are simply vital. Like the 401-k plan in the United States, Australia has a similar fund set up for retired employees. This is required by law, and constitutes 9.5 percent of employee salaries and wages. In order to qualify, however, employees must have worked over 30 hours a week and earned more than $450 a month. Those under 18 or over 70 do not qualify.
In addition to employer contributions, personal contributions are also important. To ensure you are putting enough away for your retirement in Australia, speaking to an attorney or lawyer is helpful so as to develop alternative superannuation strategies. With years of extensive industry experience, they have the tools and expertise to monitor and even help set up retirement accounts for you and your spouse.
While personal contributions can include monies not earned from employment, they generally refer to income earned while employed. This, of course, is usually a part of your income that is put away for retirement use. According to the law, however, contributing more to your account than is permitted can result in additional taxes at 31.5 percent.
For most Aussies, investing in this form of retirement is beneficial. This is because it allows them to receive pensions, along with supplementary income. It also helps reduce their income tax liabilities across the board.
If you are nearing retirement in Australia, financial security is very important. With these types of investments, seniors are guaranteed financial protection during their golden years. If you are unsure on how to tap into these retirement benefits, simply speak to your employer or an attorney today.

America Is Wary Of Obama, Angry At Economy.
It's like, "Ok, what's next from this bunch?" We think in terms of protecting ourselves from, or mitigating, the damage caused by our own government.That's a shame. We're starting to get a bomb shelter mentality. What impetus that grows out in the private business world, to expand or to hire new employees, is crushed by government regulation and the threat of more regulation and higher taxes.
The virtual catatonic condition of the economy in our state of California, and the country at large, is causing people who never before paid much attention to political matters to find themselves joining their friends and neighbors in groups of like-minded patriots, who have banded together to proclaim the freedom and greatness of this land in the face of the real and present danger to our Republic from the radical left, now in control of the country.
The left's pet press, and the bleating class in Hollyrude, continue to carry the DeMarxist water, running interference where they can and spinning like crazy. Interesting thing, that spin… it works usually because people have busy lives and don't have the time or the inclination to check any further than the specious trumpeting of the lame stream press.
The spin machine has broken down. The reason it's broken is because of the new media. Spinning is no fun if every time you open your mouth there's some guy talking to millions of people saying "Wait a minute". That's the effect the new media has had on the DeMarxist spin machine. They just can't get a lie in edgeways before five writers are tearing it apart.
As the country descended toward the abyss which is Socio-Marxism, like-minded people began to join together in a celebration of American exceptionalism. These came to be known as the Tea Parties. They swept throughout the nation, empowering Americans and uniting them against the Marxist threat. Better than 60% of the people in this country are in the Patriot Movement, or are in agreement with our message.
Yeah, we're angry… and many of us have reason to be. There's a difference though. It's a focused sort of anger. It's like we know where the problems are… we've done our homework. Obama and the DeMarxists will never be more dangerous than they will be between now and November 2. Let's see if we can give them a good long rest.

Skip, how do you reconcile
the idea that each individual tax rate is far lower than they were during both the Reagan and Clinton Presidencies and we're in a huge recession operating with a huge deficit under the Bush II tax rates, yet the current proposal to raise some tax rates would bring them back to the level of the Clinton Administration, which was wildly successful from an economic standpoint?
Regarding the regulatory environment, it was the lack of regulation and the lack of existing regulatory enforcement that was the primary driver of the near-destruction of our financial sector, which had a tremendous effect on the global economy and, obviously, the US economy in particular.
So how is raising only the tax rates of the wealthiest persons in the US to Clinton levels along with regulating a financial industry that was plainly and obviously out of control having some sort of chilling effect on business overall (not to mention that business is doing quite well, thank you, while not hiring a single iota yet still handing out record bonuses to their leadership teams and sizable dividends to their shareholders).
Please, at least take a whack at it bridging the yawning chasm in your reasoning.
You Reconcile TARP and the Stimulus that wasn't
Before you go bragging about the success of the Republican Congress under Clinton, reconcile Obama's lies on the Economy, and how Obambi saved FORD.
so sorry... Carter beat the inflation
no matter what you reaganites want to claim. The republican congress under clinton set the stage for the utter ruin of our world...in more ways than one.
When you can learn how to read a fucking graph, or a birth certificate... maybe then I won't have to bitch.
Until then, still growling...

For almost 40 years NADFAS Church Recorders have been producing complete records of the contents of places of worship of all denominations. Over 1680 churches have been recorded and so far more than 1400 have been indexed.
The Church Records Online Index will be of particular value to academics and architects, church personnel and researchers as well as those investigating their family history. Insurance companies and the police also make use of the Index when tracking items that have been misappropriated.
The Index does not contain text or photographs from the Records themselves but acts as a signpost to the contents of UK churches which have been recorded by NADFAS.
After initial consultation of the index further research can be undertaken by studying the relevant paper copy of the Church Record.
It facilitates searches by diocese, church, type of item, or dedication. The information available includes the names of artists, manufacturers and retailers, the names of donors and of those commemorated as well as subjects of stained glass and wall paintings. However items of silver, gold or other precious materials are not included.
Comments about the Church Records Index
' have just had a look at your Church Records Online Index - it works very well, and should prove to be an increasingly useful resource'
'a very good idea which will greatly enhance the practical value of NADFAS Records to Diocesan Advisory Committees'
Actual Church Records can be seen at the following places
* or equivalent organisations in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man
Catch up with what our Societies, Areas and Volunteer Groups have been doing.
Church Recorders promote recognition and preservation of the rich artistic heritage in places of worship by recording the contents of churches of all religions.

Derma Fillers Near Vallejo
Dr. Noll is considered by her patients and peers to be an expert injector. She has been injecting fillers like restylane, perlane, sculptra, and radiesse to residents in the Vallejo, CA area since 2007.
She appreciates and enjoys the artistic aspect of fillers. Her goal is to enhance the natural beauty of her patients. Her patients are never "overdone," but instead look "rested and youthful." Her extensive training and knowledge of fillers places her skills above most injectors and provides reassurance to her patients that they are being injected by a professionally trained injector.
"I have been injecting fillers like restylane and juvederm for several years and truly love the results and effects they have on patients. I am often asked, "Which is my favorite filler?" I actually really like all of the fillers. Each filler has unique properties and based on these properties, and taking into consideration patient treatment goals, I assist patients in choosing the right filler." – Dr. Noll
Restylane® and Perlane®
Restylane and Perlane are safe and natural cosmetic dermal fillers made of hyaluronic acid that restore volume and fullness to the skin to correct facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds). Restylane is also used for lip augmentation. The difference between the two is in gel particle size. Perlane gel particles are larger and used for deeper injections than Restylane. One treatment takes about 30 minutes, with results lasting six months or longer.
Juvederm is a safe smooth gel filler made of Hyaluronic Acid. It is used to smooth out wrinkles or folds to restore youthful contours to the skin. Juvederm injectable gel is produced through Hylacross technology and can last up to 6 months or longer. It can stimulate collagen production, helping long term results. Juvederm Ultra is thinner and usually injected into the more superficial layers of the skin and Juvederm Ultra Plus is usually injected for the deeper lines of the skin.
Radiesse is a filler that is injected into the skin through a simple and minimally invasive procedure giving you immediate, visible improvement of folds and wrinkles, and providing long-lasting and beautiful results. Radiesse is made up of unique calcium-based microspheres suspended in a natural gel that is injected into the skin. In many patients, the effects of Radiesse filler may last a year or more, offering clinically proven safety and longevity.
Our office is conveniently located in downtown Davis, CA, just a 50 minute drive from Vallejo.
The coastal city of Vallejo is one of the biggest cities in the San Francisco Bay Area. Once the capital of the state of California back in the 1800′s, Vallejo has a vast history and rich culture.

The Business of Style Street, Karl Lagerfeld Got a Gift From His Cat and More From Around the Web
Street style photography might appear candid and casual, but it's actually a very serious business. Many labels lend or gift clothing to influential bloggers and editors for more brand exposure. Which is kind of nice to know, right? Now instead of wondering why your walks to the farmers market don't look like a French Vogue spread, you can just sit back and enjoy the pretty pictures. [NYT]
These fashion week shots, however, were not staged. But you shouldn't compare yourself to them either—because they're all of really attractive models. [Fashionista]
Karl Lagerfeld reveals that his pampered kitten Choupette gave him a special bottle of Dom Perignon for his 79th birthday. [Grazia]
A photo of Lady Gaga wearing a fresh flower helmet to the rehearsal of milliner Philip Treacy's show. It's like the walls of Raf's Dior runway in hat form! [The Cut]
Some of the craziest, over-the-top nail art ever. While we might not attempt any of the looks ourselves—because we have to tap a keyboard all day long—we're in awe of the ladies who did. [Refinery29]
As the new "creative inspiration" for Max Factor, Gwyneth Paltrow will star in the cosmetic brand's upcoming campaign. [WWD]

Norwood, MA (10/16/2012) - Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), a global leader in high-performance signal processing technology and the data converter market share leader*, today introduced two RF (radio frequency) D/A converters that are able to synthesize the entire downstream (transmit) cable spectrum from a single RF port. Supporting data rates up to 2.8 GSPS, the single-channel, 14-bit AD9129 and 11-bit AD9119 RF D/A converters allow cable operators to reduce the total system power and component count of CATV (CMTS) infrastructure equipment, simplify system design, and lower total bill of material costs. The new RF D/A converters support from one to as many as 158 CATV carriers and include an optional 2× interpolation filter that reduces output filtering complexity by effectively increasing the D/A converter update rate by a factor of two. In its Mix-Mode™ super-Nyquist operation, the AD9129 can reconstruct spectrally-pure RF carriers in the 2nd and 3rd Nyquist zones, eliminating a mixing stage while still maintaining exceptional dynamic range at up to 4.2 GHz.
"The AD9129 RF D/A converter utilizes ADI's patented quad-switch architecture to synthesize the full dc-to-1.4 GHz baseband output spectrum, which will greatly simplify and improve downstream DOCSIS 3.0-compliant transmitter design," said Carlton Lane, marketing manager, High-speed D/A Converter group, Analog Devices. "This D/A converter's new level of performance and functionality enables cable infrastructure equipment manufacturers to implement the complete downstream signal chain in a smaller footprint, at one-third the power, and using fewer signal chain components. These are all important design considerations in today's CMTS service environment."
The AD9129 RF D/A converter enables industry leading direct RF synthesis performance with minimal loss of output power across its output spectrum. The device also enables dual-edge clocking operation, effectively increasing the converter update rate to 5.6 GSPS when configured for Mix-Mode or 2× interpolation mode. Its high dynamic range and bandwidth enable multicarrier generation up to 4.2 GHz. The device dissipates only 1.1 W at the full 2.8-GSPS D/A converter update rate.
The AD9129 includes a dual-port, source-synchronous LVDS (low-voltage differential signaling) interface that simplifies the data interface to a host FPGA or ASIC. On chip DLLs (delay-locked loops) optimize timing between different clock domains, while an SPI (serial peripheral interface) is used to configure the AD9129 and monitor the status of read-back registers.
Product | Sample Availability | Production Release | Resolution(Bits) | Sample Rate(GSPS) | Price Each In 1,000 Quantities | Packaging |
AD9129 | Now | November 30 | 14 | 2.8 | $59.00(Pb-free) | 160-Ball CSP-BGA |
AD9129 | Now | November 30 | 14 | 2.8 | $69.00(PbSn) | 160-Ball CSP-BGA |
AD9119 | Now | November 30 | 11 | 2.8 | $49.00(Pb-free) | 160-Ball CSP-BGA |
Other Analog Devices parts that are complementary to the AD9129 RF D/A converter are the ADF4351 wideband PLL (phase-locked loop) for use as the D/A converter clock, and the ADCLK925 low-jitter clock buffer.
Innovation, performance, and excellence are the cultural pillars on which Analog Devices has built one of the longest standing, highest growth companies within the technology sector. Acknowledged industry-wide as the world leader in data conversion and signal conditioning technology, Analog Devices serves over 100,000 customers, representing virtually all types of electronic equipment. Analog Devices is headquartered in Norwood, Massachusetts, with design and manufacturing facilities throughout the world. Analog Devices is included in the S&P 500 Index. http://www.analog.com
* Analog Devices, Inc. leads the worldwide data converter market with a 48 percent share, according to industry analyst firm Databeans, Inc. in its market research report titled "2011 Data Converters." Analog Devices' 48 percent share is larger than the combined market share of the nearest eight competitors.

Will do it soon. The design linked from the website is, iirc, the one in CVS (although changes might have happened, it's not automatically updated). I've received a URL from Ian with the site on it as well, I'm not sure if that one gets updated automatically or not. Not that it matters currently as the CVS hasn't been touched in a while :) Anyway, don't you have CVS access yet? I thought Kurt took care of that.

hypnosec writes The US Air Force and private space flight company SpaceX have settled their dispute involving the military's expendable rocket program, thereby paving the way for SpaceX to join the spy satellite launch program known as Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV). The settlement opens doors for SpaceX to compete with United Launch Alliance (ULA) for launch of spy satellites. ULA is a joint Boeing-Lockheed venture – the only private player to have received clearance for launching black ops satellites.

Not far up an unpaved road I come upon a group of about two dozen men armed with large pistols, multiple clips of ammunition strapped to their belts. They regard an obvious interloper with caution, but continue about their business; a shooting competition is about to get under way. Ray, a Maui native, shows me his equipment with pride—a modified 9-millimeter pistol and a number of bulging clips of ammunition. "I prefer the hollow tip. See." He thrusts a bullet under my nose for inspection: "It keeps the gun cleaner." Without comprehension of why that might be, I nod my admiration and wish him luck in the day's event. The sound of gunfire and the ping of bullets on metal targets is lost in the trade winds as I head back toward the young families playing on the beach a few hundred yards—and a world—away.
A little farther on, the West Mauis, rising 5,788 feet, take on imposing dimensions. Deep, lush green valleys are visible amid jagged drop-offs. The nearly impenetrable mountains were home to the last great battle for dominance on Maui (in the Iao Valley), and perhaps because so much of their interior remains inaccessible, they exude a sense of inviting and forbidding mystery.
And then suddenly I am in Lahaina, the most energized and enervating town on Maui. It's a place where you can have your picture taken on the street with multicolored parrots perched on your person, or you can spend $1,400 on a ukulele made of curly koa wood. You can buy art by Picasso, or Chagall, or Dalí, and then step next door and have a beer at Moose McGillycuddy's Pub.
It's easy to dismiss Lahaina (which translates as "merciless sun," and it always feels that way) as a tourist-riddled sham, and the longer I walk down Front Street, passing scores of men and women in floral clothing, the closer I am to doing just that. But Lahaina is also a town rich in well-preserved history, a history that juggled the relationship between the whaling industry and the missionaries during their heyday in the mid 1800's. From a look at the records available in the old prison, Hale Paahao ("stuck-in-irons house"), built by King Kamehameha III to detain unruly sailors who refused to return to their ships by sundown, it's easy to see which group prevailed more often than not. In 1855 there were 330 convictions for "drunkenness" and 169 for "fornication," as well as 89 for "furious riding." But apparently life in the prison, which is beautifully preserved, with its well-manicured yard under large monkeypod trees just off the main drag, was not all bad. Seaman William Mitchell Stetson confided in his diary: "Male and female all had freedom of the prison yard and mingled promiscuously." And if the hardships of jail life ever did become too much of a strain, the wooden cells were barely secure and the coral restraining wall, at just over 10 feet high, was easily scaled once the sailors sobered up.

Perhaps the heading of this post should've focused on the question whether Weezy has ever had seizures; but it seems that Lil Tunechi was indeed taken to hospital for this very reason following the mid-air medical scare; in an interview with MTV, he let slip "Please let them know that I have an air unit, but because of the sound, they don't want the air on, so it's super hot in here … I don't want y'all to think I'm on nothing, man. I'm on seizure medicine. That's all."
So, seizures they were and ill-timed ones at that, for they prevented him from deposing before the judge in the Carter trial, he lost the case and the counter-case as well.

Voting will take place now through October 22 on LPGA.com
DAYTONA BEACH, FLA., Sept. 24, 2012 – The 2012 LPGA season already has produced a number of memorable performances and now fans have the opportunity to honor one of the year's best achievements with the inaugural Kia "Most Compelling" Performance Award. Beginning today, fans will be able to vote on LPGA.com for the player with the most compelling performance so far in 2012. Five players are up for the honor – Jessica Korda, Inbee Park, Jiyai Shin, Stacy Lewis and Yani Tseng.
Voting will open at noon ET and it will end at midnight ET on October 22. Fans can vote by visiting www.lpga.com/kiaperformanceawards where a video featuring each of the top performances will be showcased on the website. Fans can vote once per day.
Each of the four Kia Performance Awards will be announced on the 18th green following the end of third-round play at the CME Group Titleholders, which will take place November 15-18 at TwinEagles Golf Club in Naples, Fla. Each winner will receive a brand-new 2013 Kia Optima Limited.
Here are the five players up for this year's Kia Most Compelling Performance Award:
Jessica Korda
The second-year LPGA Tour member sank a 25-foot birdie putt on the second hole of a six-way playoff to become a Rolex First-Time Winner at the season-opening ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open at Royal Melbourne Golf Club. In doing so, she also became the fourth-youngest winner in LPGA Tour history at the age of 19. Korda, who held a slim one-stroke after three rounds, fired a 1-over 74 in the final round to earn her way into an LPGA record-tying, six-way playoff that included Brittany Lincicome, Stacy Lewis, Julieta Granada, Hee Kyung Seo and So Yeon Ryu. This victory held extra significance because Korda's father, former tennis legend Petr Korda, won his first and only Grand Slam in Melbourne at the Australian Open.
Stacy Lewis
Two victories in a stretch of three events vaulted Lewis into the coveted spot as top-ranked American in the Rolex Rankings, a position long held by Cristie Kerr. One year after earning her first LPGA victory at the 2011 Kraft Nabisco Championship, Lewis proved that she's one of the rising players on Tour during a tremendous midseason stretch. Lewis earned her second career LPGA Tour victory at the 2012 Mobile Bay LPGA Classic by staving off a charge from 17-year-old rookie Lexi Thompson on the final day. In the Tour's next stroke play event, the ShopRite LPGA Classic, Lewis once again took home the trophy with a four-shot victory over Katherine Hull of Australia.
Inbee Park
The 2008 U.S. Women's Open champion returned to the LPGA full-time in grand fashion with nine consecutive top-10 finishes this season beginning at the Wegmans LPGA Championship, including a victory at the Evian Masters and ties for second at the Manulife LPGA Financial Classic and the CN Canadian Women's Open. Park earned solo second at the CN Canadian Women's Open when she holed a pitch shot from 60 yards on the 72nd hole. With amateur Lydia Ko capturing the title, first-place money went to the runner-up, giving Park the $300,000 first-place check and bumping her into first place on the money list. Park has earned $1,541,206 million (92 percent) of that in the last nine events.
Jiyai Shin
It took nine playoff holes and an extra day of play, but Shin ended a two-year winless drought after defeating Paula Creamer in the longest two-player playoff in LPGA history at the Kingsmill Championship. The two were sent into extra holes after Creamer missed a par opportunity to seal a victory on Sunday. After going par-for-par playing the 18th hole eight times following their round, they decided to continue Monday morning due to darkness. The two started Monday morning on the 16th hole and after similar approach shots Creamer three-putted to take a bogey for the hole, giving Shin an easy putt for par to seal the win. Shin then made it back-to-back victories when she captured her second career major at the RICOH Women's British Open. The 10-time LPGA winner dominated the field at Royal Liverpool Golf Club, capturing a record nine-stroke victory.
Yani Tseng
Tseng, who has held the Rolex Rankings No. 1 spot since February 2011, won three of the first five events on the LPGA schedule this season including the Honda LPGA Thailand and back-to-back wins at the RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup and the Kia Classic. The victories were the 13th, 14th and 15th of her young career. She is the second-youngest player in LPGA history to win 15 times (23 years old) behind only Hall of Famer Nancy Lopez. Tseng is also one of only two players in the last two seasons to win back-to-back tournaments (Ai Miyazato – 2010).
With each vote cast for the Kia Most Compelling Performance Award on lpga.com, fans will also be eligible to enter for the chance to win a trip to the CME Group Titleholders. The winning fan will be treated to a six-day, five-night trip for themselves and a guest which includes airfare, hotel, 2 passes for each day of the tournament and 2 "behind the ropes" passes to rub elbows with their favorite LPGA players for one day of the CME Group Titleholders.

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.

Text of report by Hungarian privately-owned newspaper Nepszabadsag
website, on 14 October
[Editorial by Eszter Zalan: "Something is fishy"]
Suppose that the 56-year-old Mansour J. Arbabsiar, whom his neighbours
called an unfortunate rascal, really hires one of Mexico's most brutal
drug cartels to kill the Saudi ambassador in Washington and perhaps also
to blow up the Israeli Embassy.
Suppose that the ambassador and dozens of Americans and Israelis die. As
two of its allies have been attacked in its own country, America has to
answer. The region goes up in flames.
According to this, whoever is behind the plan of the attack, would have
been ready to trigger a war in the Middle East. Very few people give
free course to such recklessness. Even if Saudi King Abdullah's words in
a telegram leaked by WikiLeaks seem particularly alarming now, words
according to which he allegedly told Washington in connection with Iran:
"Cut the snake's head!" But Israel also urged America to take military
action against Iran. The Persian state could try to break loose from the
threat with aggression: there are US troops deployed on its two sides,
in Iraq and Afghanistan, in Syria its ally regime is cracking and thus
the future of Hezbollah in Lebanon could become uncertain, competition
with Israel and Saudi Arabia is constant, and now they kicked up the
dust with Turkey as well. Washington points at Teheran as the mastermind
behind the plan and keeps showing the allegedly convincing proof to
allied diplomats: the attacks were planned, finance! d, and directed by
the Quds Forces, an elite unit of the Revolutionary Guards. However, no
proof whatsoever has been made public. Something is fishy here.
Why should Quds, which has at least 5,000 trained soldiers and agents,
hire a used car salesman in Texas, a man with a criminal record, to
organize the most daring attack in Iran's history? Why should they
transfer the down payment precisely through a New York bank? Why did
they think that a Mexican drug cartel would agree to carry out an action
that would trigger the United State's anger for so little money while,
also according to the Pentagon, Quds have their men in Latin America?
What interest would Iran have in killing the Saudi ambassador and why
would Iran risk its own stability? If they wanted to harm the desert
monarchy they would concentrate on Bahrain, where the Sunni King quelled
a revolt inspired by the Arab Spring with the help of Saudi troops in
March, along with the indignation of Iran which defends the Shi'is, who
are the majority population there. Apart from the allies, the Congress
also urges US President Barack Obama to take a stand against! Iran.
Although it would be useful to calm down the threats, the uncertainties,
and the overgrowing theories: this could keep the oil prices at an
acceptable level in the course of the presidential campaign.

Scrap yard blitz as new law comes into force
From 3rd December anybody wanting to weigh in scrap metal can no longer be paid 'cash in hand, no questions asked' and instead will have to be paid by cheque or electronically - in a move aimed at keeping a better audit trail on where metal is coming from.
Changes to the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders (LASPO) Act has seen the upper limit of fines removed for scrap metal recyclers found break the law or breaching the conditions of their licenses.
British Transport Police Deputy Chief Constable Paul Crowther, said: "Despite recent reductions in offending, metal theft remains a serious threat to the infrastructure of Great Britain and we will only make a real difference if we continue to take positive action in conjunction with strengthened legislation.
"For several years metal thieves and unscrupulous metal recyclers have exploited outdated legislation to make profit from criminal activity. This stops now.
"Changes to the LASPO Act have outlawed all cash transactions at metal recycling yards across England and Wales and there has been a significant increase in fines for those dealers who fail to abide by the rules.
"These measures will seriously curtail the market for stolen metal as there will now be a clear audit trail back to those bringing commodities into recycling yards and severe sanctions for those who step out of line."

Best Pool Hall Denver 2005 - Paradise Billiards
Readers' Choice: B-52 Billiards
For an honest, old-fashioned game of billiards and some of the best action in the area, head to Paradise. This ancient hall is the closest thing you'll find in Denver to the sort of underground, New York-style dark room where the true pool players lurk. Most days the snooker tables are held by old-timers playing Golf, and the Thursday-evening 9-ball tournament is probably the toughest game around. Road players often stop by when passing through, and the city's three women pros -- Melissa Little, Megan Minerich and Laura Smith -- frequently practice here, too.

This myth is taken on by Guest Myth-Buster Melissa Roddy, and is the fourth in a series on popular myths about Afghanistan. For Myth #1, read Popular Myths About Afghan Women, Myth #2 is The Afghan Women's Movement on International Forces, for Myth #3, read The Myth That Afghans Don't Want Us There. Myth #5 is Afghanistan is Backwards and Irreparable, and Myth #6 is Afghanistan has never been conquered by outside forces.
Myth #4: Western military involvement in Afghanistan is all about American geopolitical interests there.
The Truth: Many people, especially folks who think they know a thing or zip about Afghanistan, believe that the International Coalition is only there to support American lust for cheap natural resources. This is wrong on sooo many levels. Let's review a few.
If petroleum – the mineral most favored by the Bush Administration – were the primary motivation for stationing NATO soldiers in Afghanistan, then why would former President Shrub have diverted a majority of the resources necessary...More >>
The Propagandist welcomes our latest contributing writer, Melissa Roddy. In her first article, the author of "Ariana" and director and producer of "Conflict of Interest" explores the lies that the Pakistani ISI has propagated about Afghanistan in order to assist in its imperialistic designs. (This article first appeared in The Huffington Post).
Withdrawal NATO forces from Afghanistan, before the country is strong enough to defend itself, would not result in peace for the Afghan people. It would result in a repeat of the horrors of the 1990s. That's when, according to Human Rights Watch, over 400,000 Afghans were killed.
This past April, Benjamin Barber published an editorial entitled 15 Reasons Why We Can't Win In Afghanistan. I want to thank him for neatly putting in one convenient place so many of the common distortions and lies propagated by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence Agency ("ISI") to encourage NATO to abandon the Afghan people, who have suffered grievously for well over 30 years at the hands of various ISI sponsored criminals.

BioShock Infinite
Version and / or Patch Used: Latest Steam Update
Timedemo or Level Used: Built in Benchmark
Developer Homepage: http://irrationalgames.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.bioshockinfinite.com
BioShock Infinite is a first-person shooter video game and the third installment in the BioShock series. Previously known as "Project Icarus", it is being developed by Irrational Games and was released worldwide on the Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 platforms on March 26, 2013. BioShock Infinite is not part of the storyline of previous BioShock games but features similar gameplay concepts and themes.
Checking out the new BioShock Infinite benchmarks you can see we're shy of the 60 FPS number we want at all resolutions. No doubt we'd want to drop detail slightly to try and boost those 1680 x 1050 numbers closer to the 60 FPS number.

I have to admit that this column is going to have few readers. For one thing, here is the only mention it will have of the name Jodi Arias. That's it. Sorry.
And teenagers reading this can also move on to some other part of the Tribune, because (a) this column is about them, (b) young people never like to read about older people's opinions about them and (c) it is definitely going to use constructions such as "When I was your age."
OK, are the young people gone? All right, then:
When I was their age, having just recently emerged as I had from the primordial slime and walking on land, going to the prom meant much the same things to me and my high school classmates as it does to today's teens.
I grew up in Scottsdale, a place not without people who put on airs as a profession. Still, my classmates and I weren't interested in much of that.
We were celebrating our high school social scene, our moving into adulthood, our having dates who really cleaned up well after having seen them, for all intents and purposes, only in the more casual clothes we all wore to class.
And even the most modest prom plan cost a tidy sum of money, more than most of us had ever spent. On their own scale, today's teens face a similar financial challenge.
I don't know exactly when limousines became a must-do for prom couples. A few of my own classmates rented them, but the rest of us considered that to be more than a bit much. Limos were something our parents may have coveted as a status symbol, but at that time, the kid in my class with the white Pontiac sports car with a huge firebird painted on its hood was the one all the rest of us guys envied as the true prom ride of desire.
Back to today. We read this week in the Tribune an Associated Press story, "Prom spending is on the rise again," telling of increasing prom outlays as a sign of an improving economy.
The AP quotes a consumer psychologist as saying, essentially, that prom night is something parents should shell out for as it has become an example of Keeping Up With the Joneses' Teenagers:
"You don't want your kid to be the only kid who doesn't have what the other kids have," psychologist Kit Yarrow of Golden Gate University told the AP. The story quotes average U.S. prom spending – it doesn't say per person or per couple – to be $1,139 among those who plan to spend something.
And the story included comments from a Chandler mother who said she and her daughter chose a boutique to buy her daughter's dress that records the types of dresses sold to girls going to the same prom to make sure the same dress design doesn't show up there more than once.
No one is happier than I to see the recession easing, home prices rising and unemployment falling. And I understand the desire of teenage girls (and boys, for that matter) not to be socially upstaged. But I'm not quite sure that even during the best of times, more than $1,000 should be spent by their parents toward that goal.
After all, within a few months, a place with "university" or "college" in its name is going to want to be paid tuition.
My parents felt the same way. I didn't spend their money, but mine. I had a wonderful time wearing my fairly fashionable school-choir tuxedo to two proms. I spent my own money on some nice dinners and lovely corsages and gifts and the prom tickets.
The AP story quoted Yarrow as saying, "Kids are fantasizing about their own stardom in a way…. This is sort of their red carpet moment."
We didn't have the instant celebrities produced by today's prime-time-TV talent programs to emulate, but Hollywood's movie and television stars of our era produced plenty of people not too much older than we whom we could have wanted to imitate.
But we didn't. We didn't want to be them. We wanted to be us, the greatest class of the greatest high school. Queen's "We Are the Champions" was released our senior year. That's where we were at. Sorry, Ryan Secrest. You didn't go to our school.
I drove my parents' Buick, a cream-colored full-size sedan with most every option, to the proms my senior year. It was a limousine compared to what passes for a full-size car today.
No, I don't think any of us were dreaming of stardom. Me? I was more concerned with dancing like I knew how.

Piling on loads of layers isn't the most efficient way to conceal that post-holiday bulge. Instead, reach for one of Yummie Tummie's instantly trimming tees. Each tee contains the line's signature slimming panel, which smooths bumps and prevents those dreaded muffin tops from popping up (and out!).

Yohan Benalouane will spend the 2012/13 campaign on loan at Parma, with Cesena announcing that an agreement has been reached.
The 25-year-old has made the step up into Serie A after suffering relegation out of the top flight last season.
He was among those to shine as Cesena slipped through the trapdoor and was expected to generate interest this summer.
Newcastle were among those reported to be keen on the French defender, but opted against making a move.
That has paved the way for Parma to snap Benalouane up on a season-long loan.
The deal includes the option for Parma to acquire a 50 per cent stake in his ownership rights next summer.
