"We know what we need to do to restore these species," says Tomback, whose foundation is partnering with larger environmental groups to raise awareness of the threat. "It's painstaking, and it may take more than one generation to do. But without them, the forests become a lot more homogenous. It will impoverish us, from a biodiversity perspective. And very little work has been done on the impact on wildlife of this widespread pine-beetle kill."
Although a great deal of energy and planning is now going into efforts to restore habitat and revitalize forests, officials acknowledge that their ability to manage the epidemic is limited. Human engineering — what Tomback calls our ability to "alter the natural dynamics" — certainly contributed to the high toll of the beetle outbreak, from fire-suppression policies to the central role of increased greenhouse gas emissions in driving climate change. But our ability to engineer our way out of the problem is less clear.
Some experts believe that the epidemic, like a long period of drought and fire, essentially has to run its course and burn out. Even referring to the outbreak as an "epidemic" or an "invasion" is misleading, they argue, since the beetle is a native species that's been munching away at pine trees since the dawn of the forests; one fossilized specimen of a precursor of the mountain pine beetle found in Boulder County dates back to between 15 and 30 million years. "The bark beetle never really goes away," says Mitton, who's continued to find muted but persistent beetle activity in ponderosa pines on Sugarloaf Mountain outside Boulder, 35 years after the last big beetle kill swept through the area.
Yet forest agency officials are determined to avoid repeating the same devastating trajectory in the future. It's unlikely that the High Five pines will rebound within a generation or two. But lodgepoles are much more resilient; the younger trees spared by the beetles are expected to fare well. And that presents the prospect of the same cycle starting all over again, with dense and uniform stands of trees, all roughly the same age, vulnerable to massive beetle attacks.
"The most important factor in this epidemic is the condition our forests are in," says entomologist Stephens. "We might want to re-evaluate where we stand on things like timber harvest, fire suppression and forest management — and recognize that multiple-use policies on public lands are probably the best."
There's no "blanket approach" that will work everywhere, Stephens adds. For example, ponderosa pines can benefit from regular thinning procedures, but lodgepoles have shallower root systems — too much thinning can leave the remaining trees vulnerable to being knocked over in windstorms.
Ferrenberg believes that future forest management should focus more on identifying trees that have higher resin flow (and more resistance to the beetles) and encouraging their propagation. "If you come up with a management plan that involves cutting trees or prescribed burns, you have to figure out how to get it into some of the most rugged places in the world — and you're going to have to accept unexpected outcomes," he says, referring to the threat of prescribed burns going wild. "We need to start managing early. It's going to be more time-intensive management, but it's something we need to do."
Mitton sees Colorado's forests adapting to changing conditions, just like the beetles. The severely thinned lodgepole stands present an opportunity for aspen, which have extensive root systems and tend to colonize avalanche, burn and beetle sites. Aspen appear to be on the rebound across the state, after prolonged drought and a condition known as Sudden Aspen Decline that claimed large groves a few years ago, and the tree may well be on the verge of a decades-long proliferation in the state not seen in centuries.
"The forests are going to look more like what they were when the European settlers came to Colorado," Mitton says. "That's not an awful thing. Once the aspen are doing well, the lodgepole will come back and shade them out — and there we go again."
Aspen forests are rich in biodiversity. They let in more light, generating a lusher understory than conifers, and are important to a range of wildlife, including beaver and birds of prey. And as Mitton and other ardent nature photographers know, they offer something the evergreen and ever-beleaguered conifers can't provide.
"Is there a silver lining to this epidemic?" Mitton asks. "My thought is, aspen are pretty in the fall."

This isn't the only study on these, and it has been shown that winters are not cold enough to kill off these bugs
Unless the tree is dead that it can freeze easily. I've seen DEAD wood freeze yearly in the mountains of northern new mexico. So that's why I don't think temperature has a lot to do with this problem.
Nice fixation, Ranger. Lack of forest diversity? Somewhat. Lack of water? Definitely. Longer warm season? Yes. That's what I took from the experts. And experts in Entomology/Forestry are going to be as excited about their subject going up in a mainstream paper as you suggest I am about it. So, I'm not sure which of the indifferent, "who cares" comments you see coming from an expert, or anyone with a degree in this stuff.
So....errr...I suppose the fact that we have not allowed a fire-dependent forest to burn for a hundred years had nothing to do with it? And this climate change thing - what is the climate supposed to be doing? Staying the same? Getting colder? What? We are generally coming out of an ice age, so it is not astounding to me that the climate is getting warmer. Al Gore is making a lot of money on this deal, with his carbon footprint of a thousand city people!
Grower: I am absolutely positive that there are other researchers looking for generations of the insects of their choice. I don't doubt that every insect is a major concern of yours as a grower. However, its BS suggesting there is no story (as Phd and others suggested) in the fact that pine beetles have been observed flying for the FIRST time in the Colorado high country in May during a drought which has weakened tree defenses, setting this whole situation up as a potential epidemic...that's a story I am glad is being reported. Regardless of what the other insects are up to. Westword runs gossip pieces and bullshit blogs constantly and no one comments. But here we get a long story that hasn't been regurgitated a billion times, and people are dissing the fact that it was even reported because a small part of the story doesn't jive with their opinion on the narrowest little subject that they know anything about. I stand by my fucking point.
I remember as a kid seeing all the beetle kill trees that were cut down, sprayed, and wrapped in plastic to control their spreading. You could see them on the way up the canyon to Central city on the mountainsides. If this has stopped, the question should be WHY??????
my co-worker's sister made $14187 past week. she gets paid on the computer and moved in a $426000 condo. All she did was get fortunate and follow the clues explained on this website lazycash42.c()m
Ask any farmer and they will agree warm winters increase the yearly chances for multi generations of insects. Are you on the peer review for this article? They plan for this. I agree this is common knowledge. Further, if I planted the same corp every year during an increase of annual multi generation, or single generation, of damaging insects I would be out of business. The lack of forest diversity is the cause and the effect. Climate fluctuations ehances lack of forethought in forest management - the real cause. Examing different type of insects and multi generations of seasonal hatching proves that pine beetles are not exclusive and climate fluctuation increases are in fact common knowledge. Defending someone's thesis, in this case, proves your lack of understanding the "whole fucking point."
Dead fuel accumulating for the past 15+ years. Fires take off like hot cakes. You do the science.
Phd: Early beetle flights resulting in 2 generations per year, instead of 1 is not common knowledge. In fact, it goes against everything we know and accept about the pine beetle. The fact that they can lure a pine beetle with pheromones in May is proof enough. Larvae cannot be lured through the air by pheromones, and pine beetle eggs will not spontaneously grow wings in "cold winter" to be drawn to a trap. The whole fucking point is that weather changes are now allowing 2 generations per year instead of 1. You want to see this test run during the egg stage? Do you see insects cruising around when the weather is cold? Do you really think that beetles trapped using pheromones in May are less developed than the one they happened upon on Niwot Ridge in May? And what would running the experiment with "other beetle types" look like and what would it have to do with proving or disproving the fact that pine beetles are squeezing out 2 generations where they used to make 1?
Good article about the pine beetle devestation, however the title is misleading. The subtitle additionally says why the forests ate burning up, like there is a correlation between the beetle and all of the current fires. There is only a few sentences that talk about the fires and it never mentions a correlation between the two problems. False advertisement!
The article is an example of lacking journalism filled with a lack of citations and filled with conjecture. Worse, the article is stale information. The beetle kill is common knowledge and the simple method of "They set up lures loaded with pheromones to invite beetles to establish broods in those trees." Then stating warm winter sampling represents the first peer-reviewed report of the insect achieving two generations in a single summer. Show this result without luring beetles with pheromones. Then try the same experiment with pine bettles during a cold winter. And finally try the experiment with other beetle types.
Yea, you're right. He should have written it as "The top ten things you didn't know about pine beetles!" Or maybe 5 in your case.
Single season multi generations during an upswing in warm winters gets you excited? Read closely, and I see your comment about jerking off - that polishes your stance. Plain, simple, concise and without argument - it's lack of forest diversity. Now you can once again start your multi seasonal pseudo physical and biased masturbation and please stop writing comments where you have no expertise or degree. Grower, thank you.

Over at Mabey She Made It, Lisa had a pair of pinstripe pants that not longer fit (they were too big). She decided it was time for a refashion!
Secondhand Shirt Turns Into Cute Summer Crop Top
Recently at The Felted Fox, Nicole has started sewing her own clothes for the summer. One of her recent outfits started with this large, secondhand men's shirt.
Dollar Store Find Becomes Stylish Swim Cover-Up
Michelle, who blogs at A Little Tipsy, admits that she's the girl who buys a 5XL t-shirt from the dollar store because she likes the color. (I'm with you, Michelle!) After a fruitless search for a cute, short-sleeve swim cover-up, she realized that the oversized aqua dollar store t-shirt could be refashioned into just what she'd been looking for.
Winter to Summer Shirt Refashion
Here's a way to add a few things to your wardrobe, this summer. Emma from Crafting {E} shares this tutorial for making long sleeves on a tee short.
Ruffled Refashion for a Simple T-Shirt
"I have gotten into the habit of throwing on a pair of jeans, the same pair of flip flops, and a solid scoop-neck tee every day. Boring," confessed Lisa at Mabey She Made It. She decided to switch things up a bit by refashioning one of those tees, a red one like the one pictured below.
Old Jeans to Fashionable Skirt
Over at Mabey She Made It, Lisa had a pair of jeans that she wasn't getting much use out of, anymore. "They looked good on me, but the rise was just too low for me to be comfortable in," she tells us. Time for a refashion! (FYI, Lisa didn't have a before picture, so her jeans were similar to the ones pictured below.)
Tee to Skirt Refashion
Over at my other blog, Infarrantly Creative, I recently shared a tutorial for a fun refashion. I took scraps of fabric–including some that used to be t-shirts–and turned them into cute, comfy skirts for my little girl!
An Edgy Refashion for a Little Black Dress
I get so excited when Nicole from The Felted Fox sends in clothing refashions. Not only does she have great taste and fantastic ideas, but she models her creations so well that I feel a little bit like Anna Wintour while I'm figuring out which pictures to show you! This refashion features the classic little black dress.

News offers information about activities or events that are of interest to, affect or involve the public, such as the dedication of a new Lions park. Some projects, although worthwhile, may not be "newsworthy." To determine what is newsworthy, ask yourself, "Would a non-Lion find this interesting or useful?" Public service gives information about a specific topic to help or assist the public, such as describing the warning signs of diabetes or encouraging volunteerism.
Decide which activities are unique and may be of interest to the media. To be considered newsworthy, they should be about timely events or activities that:
Read local newspapers, watch television news programs and listen to a variety of local radio stations to get a feel for what is likely to be covered by your news media.
Get involved early in the planning of Lions projects to determine their PR potential. The following are examples of club activities with possible news value:

The United States of America is a wonderful place. Full of wonder and hope and people who really (really!) love being American, more than they love just about anything.
Today is my first day back at work after a week in lovely southern Florida. As the greater West Palm Beach area's streets are…let's say unfriendly to pedestrians I was forced inside to the warm embrace of television. And that good cable greeted me with open arms! No American broadcaster made me feel more welcome than the vaunted MLB Network. We Canadians don't know how badly we're missing out. Sort of.
Here's the thing with the MLB Network: it isn't that good. It is a barrage of lists and talking heads generally no different than most all-sports formats. For every Jay Jaffe hit, there is Mitch Williams yucking it up or Kevin Millar existing and drawing a paycheque.
The channel seems to have no major advertisers as nearly every ad is a promo for some other MLBN show. They stretched the Hall of Fame discussion well beyond the point of credulity. As with any sport-specific channel looking to fill 24 hours a day of programming, that is sort of the point.
Which is what makes my criticism of the channel fall a little flat: I watched MLB Network at every single opportunity. I would watch it right this moment if I could. I would step over my own mother for the chance to watch it tonight when I get home.
Clubhouse Confidential, the advanced stats show, is easily the best thing I saw in the week or so I spent walking MLBN. Brian Kenny is a real pro and, despite being a little stern and overly serious, clearly believes in what he discusses. The cognitive dissonance of watching a flashy professional television program casually mention given player's Wins Above Replacement is overwhelming.
Perhaps the channel would be better during the season but clearly it doesn't need to be much better to rope in the hardcore viewers like myself. Could it get better? For my tastes, less Jon Heyman point-talking and more other people that aren't Jon Heyman doing less rumor-peddling.
Of course, we Canadians don't have direct access to this great and wondrous invention. The benevolent masters at One Mount Pleasant hold the license key that keeps this channel, or a CANCON'd equivalent, from our desperate baseball eyes. They are well within their rights to sit on it until they figure out how to best maximize their revenue. As the American counterpart demonstrates, the addicts will line up around the block.

The experience and the pricing for the conference are based on participants attending the entire conference. Based on experience, we have determined that it is neither economically nor administratively feasible for our small staff to offer partial registrations and to oversee compliance. As such, it would be unfair to those paying full registration to allow those purchasing a partial registration to experience the full conference by violating the intent of a partial registration.
Do you offer any comp registrations?We do not offer complimentary registrations to anyone, including board members and chapter leadership. This policy is based on a firm commitment to equity and fairness, out of respect to our customers who pay for the conference.
Will videos from the conference be published online?To share the content from the conference with a wider audience and allow attendees to relive the experience, AIGA will make every effort to post video, transcripts and presentations of all the main stage presentations on the AIGA website.
The Hyatt Regency New Orleans is the venue for Design Conference and AIGA has partnered with the hotel for discounted guest rooms. The Hyatt has held these rooms expressly for conference attendees, and AIGA is obligated to fill the block.

I don't want to editorialize too much about this odd decision by the NBA Players Association to stage this jokey home page on their website making light of the strong likelihood that we won't have an NBA season, but you can see my somewhat less diplomatic reactions on Twitter if that kind of thing interests you. Mostly, I'm interested to know if the diehard NBA fans that enjoy a good laugh and make up The Basketball Jones audience can see the humor in this sort of frivolity. Too soon?
(It's entirely possible their website was hacked. For their sake, I hope it was. Yeesh.)

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Missy!
Facts about Missy
- Breed: Schnauzer (Miniature)
- Color: Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Missy's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Missy was surrendered to Kiko along with Spock, another Miniature Schnauzer who is posted separately, due to unavoidable circumstances at home. Once they settled into their foster home, we could see that they are both great little dogs. Missy was born in June 2008 and is a bit bigger than Spock, who was born in June 2007. It would be nice if they could be adopted together into the same home but it is not a must. Both Missy and Spock are sociable and friendly, and love curling up on the sofa next to their people. Whether you have been looking for a dynamic duo or are just interested in one, drop us a line. Missy will be spayed prior to her adoption.
Click here to fill out an Adoption Application
All Kiko dogs have been examined by a veterinarian, vaccinated, dewormed, tested for heartworm, sterilized, and require an adoption fee of $400 ($250 for senior dogs and $125 for cats) and an adoption contract.
Other Pets at Kiko Dog Rescue and Adoptions
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Missy, a Rigaud Schnauzer (Miniature) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Schnauzer (Miniature) for sale in Rigaud, or seeking a Schnauzer (Miniature) dog from a breeder in Rigaud.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Rigaud already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Rigaud breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Schnauzer (Miniature) breeders who help with Schnauzer (Miniature) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Rigaud paves the way for another one to be saved.

Microsoft Launches Windows Phone 7 Series at Mobile World Congress
By Marisa Torrieri, TMCnet Editor
Microsoft (News - Alert) Corp. CEO Steve Ballmer kicked off Mobile World Congress 2010 with the unveiling of the next generation of Windows Phones: the Windows Phone (News - Alert) 7 Series.
With this new platform, Microsoft said it offers a fresh approach to phone software, distinguished by smart design and truly integrated experiences that bring to the surface the content people care about from the Web and applications.
For the first time ever, Microsoft will bring together Xbox LIVE games and the Zune music and video experience on a mobile phone, exclusively on Windows Phone 7 Series.
Partners have already started building phones; customers will be able to purchase the first phones in stores by holiday 2010.
Microsoft's percentage of the global smartphone operating system marketplace dropped from 13.9 percent to 8.8 percent from last year, according to market research hub Canalys. Therefore, the news is a good sign that the software king is doing everything possible to distinguish itself in the competitive marketplace, where Apple and Google (News - Alert) have become more prominent.
"Today, I'm proud to introduce Windows Phone 7 Series, the next generation of Windows Phones," said Steve Ballmer (News - Alert), chief executive officer at Microsoft. "In a crowded market filled with phones that look the same and do the same things, I challenged the team to deliver a different kind of mobile experience. Windows Phone 7 Series marks a turning point toward phones that truly reflect the speed of people's lives and their need to connect to other people and all kinds of seamless experiences."

The following was forwarded to me in an email from a friend. I do not know who originated it, but I am indebted to that person for this clever illustration of the wilful blindness and Islamophilia of the useful idiots of the left and of Western governments who, in spite of the increase in violence perpetrated by Muslims in the name of Islam, steadfastly refuse to acknowledge the growing danger from it to their freedoms. Please circulate it as widely as you can:
"Little Red Riding Hood makes friends with the wolf
"Little Red Riding Hood says it is a nice and peaceful creature whereas her parents have been smacking her and also telling terrible fibs about the Wolf.
"Little Red Riding Hood lets the wolf into the garden and tells everyone what a good wolf it is. The wolf does not make any noise but starts to dig a den for itself in the garden and has several cubs.
"After a while the wolf starts to eat older members of the family — uncle, aunty, mum, and dad, and even the grandparents. They all go but Little Red Riding Hood does not make much of a fuss except once or twice when the wolf tries to eat one or two of her personal friends. "They deserved it," she says about her absent relatives. And the neighbours believe her.
"Gradually the wolf starts to introduce new rules.. Everyone must howl at night and they must walk on four legs not two. Little Red Riding Hood starts to grumble. Especially when the wolf says that no one can drink Ribena or tea any more. But she still goes on saying that things are better than they were when Mummy and Daddy were around and they are still the ones responsible for all the problems in the garden.
"One day the wolf says that it is going to dig up the front lawn and turn it into a new den. Little Red Riding Hood's small brother says they can't do that. He sits on the lawn and so do Little Red Riding Hood and her friends. The wolf becomes very angry and starts biting and howling and eventually drives them off. Little brother is carried away into the den. Little Red Riding Hood says that this shows unwillingness to engage in dialogue in a peaceful spirit. When someone says it is only what wolves normally do, she becomes very angry and accuses them of being lupophobic and wanting Mummy and Daddy back,
"Little Red Riding Hood is now a prisoner in the wolf's lair and the wolf is saying that it is dinner time. But Little Red Riding tells people she is proud of what she has done and very optimistic about the future: "What has happened means that from now on the Wolf will have to talk to us and things are definitely going to get better," she says. "I am very proud and very optimistic. Things are far better than they were in Mummy's and Daddy's time." The only problem is…there is no longer a garden gate. The only way Red Riding Hood can now go is down the tunnel and into the wolf's lair…. "

Overview of Colorado Retirement Communities
Back to topThe exceptional mountain scenery, low tax burden and abundance of fast-growing cities makes Colorado one of the premier destinations for retirees. Mature adults who move into Colorado retirement communities can get a front-row seat to the majesty of the Rocky Mountains and take advantage of the many entertainment and dining options available in Boulder and Denver. Colorado Springs and Fort Collins also deliver a quiet, yet festive, atmosphere that mature adults are sure to enjoy. Colorado also enjoys a relatively low tax burden - the state offers a flat tax rate of 4.63 percent and a state sales tax of 2.9 percent, among the lowest in the nation.
Colorado Retirement Communities Defined
Back to topColorado retirement communities are a different breed apart from nursing homes and assisted living communities. For starters, retirement communities allow seniors to retain their independence, giving them the ability to come and go as they please and to plan activities as they see fit. Accommodations for retirement communities include apartment and condo-style residences, private cottages and single-floor homes. No matter the type of residence, each one is designed with the needs of seniors in mind. Housekeeping, maintenance and upkeep are all handled by on-site staff. As with an assisted living community, retirement communities also have the benefit of a 24-hour staff that can respond quickly to medical emergencies.

So I was trying to brainstorm some ideas for games, and it occurred to me that plenty of authors out there have already wrote great stories for me, they just need some adapting. So what are some "classic" novels that you can think of reimagined in 40k? I'll start:
Frankenstein: A Magos of the Adeptus Mechanicus approaches party to help him hunt down one of his creations: a self-aware machine that is masquerading as a Tech-Priest and committing many tech-heresies and crimes. It seems to have developed a cult-following of other Tech Priests.

I spend a lot of time making over homes on camera. It's all very fast and furious and edited down to a five minute whirlwind of "drab to fab" miracles. I realize, more often than not, viewers are totally missing the meat and potatoes on how to really do it themselves. Additionally, I know most of you are not designers. That said, you mightn't be able to look at something for a nano-second and know exactly where to buy it, in what size and how much it'll cost you. But, I do. And I can help.
As we near the fall season (um, how'd that happen?), many of us are thinking about a new space. Whether your college days are long gone or not, September always has the underlying vibe of the "new school year", getting back to business, and a time for fresh starts. So whether you're looking to have the most fabulous dorm room or just a bangin' new room anywhere for that matter, I put all the accessories together for you for about $1200. Not bad, right? Well, to make it even easier I bought everything online from one website-Overstock.com. Memba them? Yeah well, they're kind of fabulous now.
They have thousands and thousands of options from almost as many vendors suitable for every budget. But I wanted to show you exactly how to do it, down to the shopping list. All you need to do is start with white bedding. I couldn't have made it any easier. So, here you go!
Hand-hooked Alexa Moroccan Trellis Wool RugHand-hooked Alexa Moroccan Trellis Wool Rug
The pattern is chic but still kind of rustic feeling since it's hand hooked and wool..and it can stand up to lots of wear and tear! $311
Pink Gradient Square Oversized Gallery Wrapped Canvas
This "artist unknown" Gallery-wrapped canvas is large, so it'll cover a lot of awkward wall space. But, it's modern and has a more grown up vibe than a lot of canvases out there in the same price range. Love the ombre vibe, too!
Altra Parsons White Laptop/ Writing Desk
I actually have this same exact desk in my own home! Why? It's the perfect size (39" W x 20" D) for when you don't need a ginormous executive desk, it's clean, modern and hello, $69! #nobrainer $69
Powder Coated Steel Arm Chairs (Set Of 2)
These 100-percent steel arm chairs will be with you for a long time! They're sold in sets of two and have a scratch-resistant powder coat finish. The perfect combo of vintage and modern. When you get tired of them, they could easily be painted. High gloss red, anyone?? $99
I'm a sucker for vintage items, but sometimes I want exactly what I'm looking for! This 6-arm chandelier is hand-painted ceramic and you won't have to troll through a smelly thrift shop to score it. The delicate look adds a slightly feminine and classic touch that will play off the other modern pieces in the space perfectly. That's a great deal at under eighty bucks. $78
WallPops Flirt Stripe Decal Pack
These chic pink stripe decals will give you a pop of design that is really hard to do on your own! This set includes four adhesive stripes that are easily removable-perfect for anyone in a starter pad! $52
Safavieh Treasures Dermot Silver/Glass Top Accent Table
Everyone should have some faux bamboo in their home. It adds instant old school glamour. This accent table is sophisticated and cool with classic Chinoiserie faux bamboo in silver-leafed forged iron. $178
Moroccan Triple Gourd 1-light Navy Table Lamps (Set of 2)
Graphic and stylish, these triple gourd lamps with a Moroccan pattern work well with everything else in the room. $209
Jiti Pillow Rebel Window Yellow Pillow
Add this as your primary accent pillow on simple white bedding and you're done. $59
You're done and you're fabulous.
XO, Courtney

We won't have recaps for every single game played in the tournament, but since they were first two winners to take centre stage, I figure the Spartans and Bulldogs are worthy of a little ink.
Michigan State and Valparaiso got us started with a game that was clearly decided early, as the Spartans jumped out to a 35-18 lead at halftime and then stretched that lead up to 27 in the second half before Valpo made the final score look somewhat respectable. Curiously enough, the Spartans were favoured by 10.5 or 11 points on most betting lines, so the final being within 11 points after Michigan State holding such a huge lead late in the game certainly raised a few eyebrows if you're a conspiracy theorist. Derrick Nix was a beast for the Spartans with 23 points and 15 rebounds in the victory.
As for Butler, many bracket fillers (including myself) saw them as vulnerable to an upset at the hands of No. 11 Bucknell, who came in with better ranks in both offensive and defensive efficiency. After the Bison made a 23-10 run to open the second half and take a lead however, the Bulldogs reminded all of us why they were awarded the higher seed in the first place, finishing the game on an impressive 37-19 run over the final 10 minutes. It was Butler's effectiveness at the free throw line that put the game away and prevented Bucknell from any realistic chance at a rally, as the Bulldogs went 25-of-28 from the charity stripe and were 18-of-20 from the line in the final five minutes. The Bison got to the line just eight times.

Ritzy Residence
So I went to the brand-spankin' new Ritz Carlton Residence on Michigan Ave in Chicago this weekend. They commissioned 5 international and local designers to deck out 5 units to showcase their work. The interior architecture and design of the Ritz Carlton residence is my kind of high-style design. The lounge, dining room, and billiard room on the 10th floor for the residents did not disappoint. The moment I stepped into the elevator I had to wipe my drool off the floor! Then I immediately stumbled upon the lounge with some 25' high ceilings and large-scale art work by students of the School of the Art Institute…and I think I gasped out loud….oops! The custom chandeliers were out of this world.
The bar details at the Billiard Room are so foxy. The bronze metal surround with two-tone painted glass which reflects the light sticks above are fierce. I'm pretty confident when I say this is the best place in Chicago to shoot some pool on a Friday night.
Then I shot up to the 26th and 27th floor to tour the units – one a pied-a-terre, the others two and three-bedroom condos. I took a plethora of photos of almost every detail but I've selected only a handful to show you (so as not to bore).
Below: Wallcovering and floor tile pattern at the powder Room (@ pied-a-terre). Yes, please!
Below: Shagreen inlaid at the iron coffee table (@ pied-a-terre). Love me some shagreen

Pretty nice debut for the freshmen
Four of Oregon's five true freshmen made their debuts tonight in the Ducks' 92-45 exhibition win over Western Oregon, and you had to be impressed with what you saw. This team may ultimately still fight just to finish in the upper half of the Pac-10, but there's talent, and a lot of hope for the future.
Ellyce Ironmonger came off the bench behind fellow freshman forwards Ellie Manou and Nicole Canepa and ended up scoring a game-high 21 points. Manou had a double-double, with 10 points and 15 rebounds, and Canepa had nine and nine. The Ducks had a big height advantage over the Wolves, to be sure, but they took quick advantage of it, which freshmen don't always do.
Oregon's veterans are on the perimeter, and they combined to go 9-of-23 from long range. Micaela Cocks, the backup point guard last season, made 4-of-6 from three. Taylor Lilley, who set a school record for accuracy last season from three, actually missed her first five but finished 2-of-7.
Tamika Nurse ran the offense well, with five assists and one turnover. Nia Jackson showed some quickness with six steals, though she had trouble converting on the other end, with a couple missed layins.
UO coach Bev Smith was unhappy that the Ducks wore down and got a little sloppy in the second half, and they didn't control the boards as well after halftime. But with four true freshmen and a redshirt making their UO debuts, all in all you had to judge this night a success.

IUID is a Department of Defense program that will enable easy access to information about DoD possessions that will make acquisition, repair, and deployment of items faster and more efficient.
The benefits of IUID are numerous:
Item visibility regardless of platform or "owner"
Lower item management costs
Item data necessary for top-level logistics and engineering analysis
Accurate sources for property and equipment valuation and accountability
Improved access to historical data for use during systems design and throughout the life of an item
Better item intelligence for warfighters for operational planning
Reduced workforce burden through increased productivity and efficiency
Improved inventory accuracy
What is Item Unique Identification-IUID?
of items is accomplished by marking each qualifying item with a permanent 2-dimensional data matrix. The data matrix is encoded with the data elements necessary to construct a
Unique Item Identifier (UII)
which is globally unique and unambiguous. The data elements required to form a UII include the format Identifier, the manufacturer's identification (i.e. cage code) and the item's serial number. If the manufacturer serializes within part number, that data element will also be encoded.
Because the data matrix is machine-readable,
marking greatly reduces human error and improves the accuracy of inventory and acquisition records.
The UIIs are stored in comprehensive registries which will allow easy access to information such as acquisition cost and life-cycle data. The registries will be maintained by the Defense Logistics Information Service (DLIS).
Every IUID delivery includes the required data elements describing the end item and the "pedigree" of embedded items. This data is captured during the acceptance process via the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) application, or after acceptance via direct data submission. Items marked with IUIDs accelerate the receipt and acceptance process, allowing DoD to submit payment to its vendors in a timely fashion, thereby saving on late charges.
This standard is approved for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense (DoD).
This issue of MIL-STD-130N Change 1 provides increased insight and giuidance for the implementation of machine-readable information (MRI) processes for item identification marking. Based solely on non-Government standards, MRI provides a valuable tool for asset management from acquisition through manufacture to logistics. However, application of human-readable (HRI) item identification marking is still necessary for many end users of the identified item. Finding the most effective use of both, either singly or in combination, is the prime responsibility of the acquiring activity.
This standard provides the criteria by which product designers develop specific item identification marking requirements. Product designers must include in product definition data specific requirements as to marking content, size, location, and application process. Simply stating in the product definition data that the marking be in accordance with this standard is not sufficient for initial manufacture and subsequent production of replenishment spare items.
Definitions provided in Section 3 and used throughout this standard are oriented primarily towards the product designer's use of prevailing engineering documentation terminology. Some conflict with terminology applied throughout the Automatic Information Technology disciplines may occur. Every effort has been made to ascertain potential conflicts and provide clear definitions for application in this standard and to cite the published source of existing definitions used.
Acquiring activities must also properly apply this standard in their contractual instruments. As with product designers, simply stating that items produced under a contract shall be marked per MIL-STD-130N Change 1 is not sufficient. They must clearly state that item identification marking is required and that development of specific item marking requirements be based on the criteria provided in this standard.

Flight Sims Get External LCD Gauges
At the recent E3 show, Saitek showed off this cool set of external desktop gauges that can be used alongside flight simulators and other games.
Adding a new dimension of immersion to sim games, each individual color LCD screen can display live information fed to it by special game drivers. They've already got a working Microsoft Flight Simulator X driver, and expect to support more games in future.
The LCDs should retail for about $99 each, and multiple displays can be used at the same time. They're expected to be released later this year.
I'm looking forward to the hacking potential of these add-ons.

Hobart shouldn't consider privatizing its EMS
I am furious that the Hobart City Council and mayor are investigating or even considering contracting out the city's Emergency Medical Services.
I used the EMS late at night when I was having chest pains and needed to get to the hospital. The service was prompt and professional, and I can't say enough for our firefighters who man these ambulances. They do a good job and are worth every penny we pay them.
I attend cardiac rehab at the facility here in Hobart across from the hospital and, three times a week, I go past the corner of Ash and 14th streets. If I look to my left at the stop sign, I often see private ambulances parked at the end of Ash Street, just sitting with their motors running.
I have seen them there when I went to rehab and again an hour-and-a-half later when I was returning home.
Don't tell me they do a better job than our Hobart EMS people. At least when they deliver you to the hospital, they return back to their respective stations for another possible call. I have nothing but praise for our Hobart firefighters. Don't even consider giving their jobs away.

We need guns because

Sexual predators need to be easily identifiable to all
In reply to A.E. Green's letter on "how to protect children, stop abortion," this person seems to feel that society is being too harsh on sexual child molesters by requiring them to register as predators.
The writer also does not find it a necessity the criminal should have to be on this registry after he does his time.
Child sexual predators do not offend once or twice. Sexual perversion, especially against children, is a lifestyle. After all, children must carry the burden of this crime all their lives. Why not the same burden for the offender?
Go on a government website and see how many registered sex offenders are in a 5-mile radius of your home. It's a real eye-opener. If I had my way, there wouldn't be a registry, as so many offenders fail to re-register. I would tattoo "child predator" on their foreheads. Children are the silent majority; adults must be their voice.

I just came back from my 2nd photoshop lesson. It was fantastic! I am so eager to share with you. If you asked me, tonight is like the essence of all lessons. Too bad Alex Yiu had to stay in camp tonight.... But don't worry Alex. I can give you re-course... cheap cheap... $200 only.
This was the photo which we were asked to touch up.
For starter, it was already a pretty well taken photo.
But Photoshop can take it several steps higher...
What we learnt tonight was
1. Removed the mole
2. Smoothened the skin
3. Teeth Whitening
4. Gave her foundation
5. Freshened up her lips colour
6. Gave her eye shadow
7. Applied blusher
8. Touched up her hair roots
9. Lift up her smile
10. Finally applied a warm filter to create the sunshine effect
And the final result is.......
I am very happy with what I did! What do you think?

I like it so much and i combine it with Mac Cranberry e/s on the crease. I expected more but i am satisfied from this product...Texture and quality the best!
Gorgeous! I love Sable! I gave away my Naked palette to a co-worker (Yes, I gave it away! But at least I know someone will use it.) but I missed the Toasted color. Although I liked the shade Toasted , the finish was just too shimmery on me. Sable has a nice sheen but not the frosted sparkle that Toasted had on me. I use it as a lid color blended up with MAC Grain into the crease and MAC Blanc Type under the browbone or wear Grain on the lid and Sable in the crease.Versatile MAC Sable is dark enough for the crease yet light enough to look good on the lid (and I am very fair skinned). So happy I bought Sable, it's the shadow I was hoping for in UD's Toasted

I adore this eyeshadow. It is a beautiful, plummy brown color that should go with all skin tones and eye colors. It works perfectly as a lid or crease color, and looks wonderful with all that glitters. Will definetly repurchase when i run out!
i buy a lot of eyeshadows from MAC in constant search of 'the one' that just fits. and lately i've found that i've been mixing and piling on more and more different colours, mixing and blending, just to get that perfect shade. 'Satin Taupe' is not far behind, but Sable is basically what i was trying to achieve, because this colour is perfect. i wish i'd just bought this, 'Satin Taupe' and a very small select few that i consider basic staples in the 1st place.
Sable is a Frost, which means it has a pearly shine instead of a proper shimmer, and the colour is a buildable, medium-toned brown with an obvious salmony pink copper to it. this is like an illusion of brown/pink/copper/bronze but ALL in an understated colour. this is a beautiful and special shade that would no doubt look incredible on green/blue eyes. even on my brown eyes is brings out lighter brown flecks in my eye colour.
another reason why i love this so much, is because it's medium-toned, so it makes a very good wash of colour, that looks completely effortless no matter how much you build it up. but it will never be a light colour that needs other contouring shadows etc. to make it work, nor at all too dark. i wear this with 'Embark' in the outer v (my staple outer v colour with anything), and i just feel so put-together.
this also suits my hair a lot at the moment because it's dyed a dark reddish colour.
if it helps anyone, i find that 'Painterly' paint pot as a base, makes this more of a paler, rosier colour. but i just love to wear it with my TFSI primer. this is a very low maintenance, effective colour for me.
recommended 100%!
6 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Fabulous, very unique colour as it doesn't go heavily bronze as other brand's equivalents do; it remains a very warm brown with just a hit of bronze and warmth.
As usual for MAC it blends well, lasts a long time and has a lovely texture.
I don't personally reach for this as often as my cool toned brown (Satin Taupe), but it's a staple in my collection and on days when I'm doing a warmer look I'd be lost without it. Definitely worth a try!
This is my HG brownish taupe colour. it has a little bit of purple tones, but nothing much. so creamy shimmery and amazing.! love love love love!
THIS is what i thought mac satin taupe would be, but it wasn't- by far an amazing all over the lid colour or crease colour !loooooooove!
will rebuy for ever.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Love love love! This is a beautiful shadow. I like to wear it with Cranberry but it goes with lots of other colours. It's blends easily and is highly pigmented. I think it'd be flattering on many skin tones.
Sable is a must-have for people with blue eyes! Is a beautiful mix of a warm brown with bronzy/coppery/red undertones and it has a gorgeous sheen.
Red is a very scary color eyeshadow-wise but sable makes it so easy to pull it off. If you blend it with something like the 217 over the lid you get a day-appropriate eye-catching smokey eye. I love it! :) Pairs well with Naked Lunch and All that Glitters.

I put off buying Sable for the longest time, figuring that it was very close in colour to Mulch and Satin Taupe. I finally caved a few weeks ago and got this in the pro-pan. And, like a true eyeshadow afficionada, I can now say it's nothing at all like either of those 2 shadows, though, like Mulch, it does have a Velvet finish. Applied, it has a rich sheen (not glitter or frost, but a lovely, polished sheen) that imparts a flattering "lit" look to the lids.
On me and in the pan, Sable looks to be a somewhat pink/rosy bronze shade, not at all like the deep red it seems to be in the first 2 photos on the left at the top of this page. I have to be careful with red toned shadows or I look like I have an eye infection, but Sable is not a problem at all. It is beautiful as a lid colour with Mulch in the crease - the 2 shades blend seamlessly together because they are so close and the finishes are the same, though Mulch is considerably darker and so is perfect as a crease colour with Sable. Sable is such a flattering and wearable colour all on its own and because of that "sheen" it makes for a very pretty "one colour" quick eye, with some matte black liner to play up that sheen. Really, a great basic shadow that almost anyone can wear.
