trending on tuesdays: home sweet…church?
this may not be a brand-new trend but i've seen it pop up more and more these days. churches are being converted into restaurants, businesses, and also into homes. these homes can be seemingly strange at first, especially if you were or are a church goer. it's a green attempt at turning abandoned real estate and rehabbing it for continued use. the results range from modern to shabby chic and everything in between. have a look at some of these amazing transformations!

Ignoring my own brain so that I can be the real me
Over the last 14 years since my first diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder, I have had to learn to ignore my own brain, including a lot of unhealthy thought patterns, so that I can become the real me. The "real me" is the person that I was intended to be by God. At the moment I am going through a mixed episode, which is the worst part of having this condition, in my experience. It is also the time when my inhibitions are at their weakest, which means that I have no problem talking about it openly now whereas I would at any other time due to the stigma. Unfortunately for you, my readers, I am not thinking as clearly as usual so my writing may not be as good as usual, but I think it's important that I write anyway because people need to understand what this is like. It is especially important at this time in our country's history when another mental disorder is being normalized at great cost to our first freedom, freedom of conscience. That mental disorder is homosexuality.
I may ramble some but I speak here from the heart even if my brain is broken.
What do you suppose would be the reaction of the average person if a movement arose among people with Bipolar Disorder to have their condition removed from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)? What if people with this condition grew so weary of the stigma of Bipolar Disorder that they started to protest and demand that the condition be normalized? This is what happened with homosexuality. It was removed from the DSM not due to scientific studies but because of protests from within the homosexual community and through a vote by homosexuals at the American Psychological Association who worked their way into the decision-making body of the APA in order to effect this change. See Making Gay Okay: How Rationalizing Homosexual Behavior Is Changing Everything for a full account.
It is very painful for me to see so many mentally ill people accusing others of "hate" for saying that homosexuality is a mental illness. It is painful to know that so many believe that if you are classified as "mentally ill" then it means there is some kind of conspiracy to dehumanize you. The "gay rights" movement is demeaning to people with mental illness for this reason. The problem lies in the false belief that everyone is perfect, no matter what. The truth of the matter is that everyone is fallen. No one is perfect apart from God. Everyone has imperfections.
Even though everyone has imperfections, if we are to be a society in which people can aspire to great things, we have to be able to say that some things are great enough to aspire to. For the mentally ill person such as myself, the great thing to aspire to in this life other than my relationship with God is a state of good mental health. This is what I aspire to. I aspire to become the "real me" that is very difficult to see because of this cross of mental disorder that I must bear.
Let's look at the symptoms of a mixed episode so that you can understand better what I mean about becoming the "real me."
Mixed episodes of bipolar disorder are defined by symptoms of mania and depression that occur at the same time, or in rapid sequence.
- Mania in mixed episodes usually involves irritability, racing thoughts and speech, and overactivity or agitation.
- Depression in mixed bipolar disorder is similar to "regular" depression, with feelings of sadness, loss of interest in activities, low energy, feelings of guilt and worthlessness, and thoughts of suicide.
The "real me" is not irritable. The "real me" does not have racing thoughts and agitation. The "real me" is not depressed, is very social, has adequate energy, and no feelings of guilt or worthlessness. The "real me" does not ever want to commit suicide. Those symptoms are symptoms that I deal with and I am in treatment to correct them because they are definitely not the "real me."
If I were to adopt the ideology of "gay rights" activists, I would insist that I was born this way (I was, in fact, born this way) and I would demand accommodation. I might say that you are a hateful person if you cannot accept my irritability, or if you did not admire me for feeling worthless. My Christian faith tells me that it would not be okay to demand those things from you. It also tells me that I am objectively not worthless in the eyes of God, therefore I do not need your approval in order to feel good about myself. God keeps me from killing myself even though "gay rights" activists are out there preaching constantly that if you say they have a mental illness then you are dehumanizing them.
Someone who has a mental illness is not automatically "less human." Mental illness does not take away my human dignity, despite what those who protested the APA would have us believe. Rather, mental illness is an imperfection that I have to rise above in order to be the "real me" that God has created me to be. The "real me" will not listen to thoughts of suicide. It is quite a heavy cross to bear, at times, but our Lord has made my cross redemptive through His own, therefore the burden is made lighter provided that I can stay focused on His Sacrifice for us all.
"Gay rights" activists are quite concerned about "identity" and about demanding that people accept them in their disorder as "normal" despite the fact that the average person can no more bear witnessing a homosexual act than he can bear witnessing a suicide. Spare me the pearl clutching over comparing homosexual acts to suicide. Remember, I deal with that cross of suicidal ideation myself. I am not less of a person because of it. Neither is anyone less of a person if they carry the cross of same-sex attraction. But the act of suicide and the homosexual act are both naturally offensive to human beings who have not been brainwashed to accept them as normal. Suicide itself is accepted as normal by some people as we recently saw with the highly publicized case of Brittany Maynard's assisted suicide. (See the counter-argument here.)
I pray that our country will wake up to this madness sooner, rather than later. I don't expect that to happen overnight, but eventually people will see the madness in forcing children with normal sexual inclinations to share bathrooms with people who were born a different sex than they were. It is important that everyone understand that we are helping no one by pretending that insanity is normal and okay. It is certainly making my life more difficult to hear people saying that I am a "bigot" for not accepting the irrational, particularly since my cross in life, for my own good health and to keep me from suicide, is to recognize what is irrational and to reject it.
Please read Making Gay Okay: How Rationalizing Homosexual Behavior Is Changing Everything…and please stop saying that it is "hateful" to say that someone has a mental illness. It is easy for you to ignore these arguments, perhaps, but it is killing me, quite literally. The sick should not have to be fighting these battles. The healthy should be fighting on behalf of the sick.
Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.

John Abraham, who has among the fittest and most desirable bodies in Bollywood, hates getting tattooed. Close friends of the actor say that he doesn't like people who make thier body go through such pain and torture.
Says a source,"He often wonders why people get tattoos done. One's body is their temple and should be kept like that and taken care of. One needs to take utmost care of their body and treat it well, and he does it himself. For John, his body is of utmost importance. He takes very good care of his body by eating right and working out well to be in good shape."
In fact, he never misses working out and hits the gym no matter how late he gets back from his shoot. Even when he was in London for his shoots recently, he never went partying because his health is most important to him.

ghost nerf, wtf??? bye bye Ashe. you were already out classed but here's the final nail in the coffin. any champ without a escape skill/speed boost, etc, will be worse. random Zil nerf? since when was he OP? reminds me of the Avinia and TF nerf, at least the switched the Avinia nerf to a buff. this Twitch buff/bug fix is going to make him god. now he'll get 100% attack speed boost at 900 range, GG. i enjoyed playing him as my second most played, and rarely seeing other Twitch players. now everyone and their grandma will play him just like Kog. Manamune nerf now too? was already over priced. Corki was actually viable again, well not now. my options for viable range dps are Kog, Twitch, MF, Ez, and Trist... oh yaaay.... 5 champs.. why cant Sivir, Teemo, Ashe, Tf and Corki have a spot? why dosent riot start doing some buffing instead of ******ed nerfs. like say, buff summoner spells such as revive, heal, rally. this is getting out of hand.
I really thought it was only bad in terms of a "Balance" patch, a good "content" patch though. Not much balancing actually done..
yah, I mean seriously...did the champions with root spells really need that buff? Amumu and morgana are already considered top tier.... Oh well....Lets cross our fingers and hope they dont screw up the next patch.
the point of the ghost change was so you had to at least use a mastery point on it to get it to the same speed as before if you get the mastery there's no difference from before at all
god, some things get barely changed and people cry 'til the cows come home. i will agree the zilean nerf was a little... weird, but whatever.
nooo singed! They made you slower!
no ez buff = fail patch
Only things I'm disappointed about are the Zilean nerf and the lack of a real Garen nerf. I honestly can't believe they still haven't made him balanced yet. Also, no Eve buff for, what, the 5th patch in a row? Seriously guys?
And they still havn't fixed Vlad's sanguine pool? Fail.

Will Hyundai's fuel mileage malfunction give ground to Honda?
One man's loss is another man's gain. The same notion can be applied to the automotive marketplace, where bad press for one brand presents an opportune time to capitalize for another. A new Bloomberg puts forth a potential automotive example of this – fallout stemming from the recent Hyundai and Kia fuel economy debacle. The Korean automakers were recently marred for incorrectly calculating their fuel economy data, resulting in the downward adjustment of the fuel economy figures for many of their most popular models.
While this represents a setback for Kia and Hyundai, brands like Toyota and Honda are looking to gain ground on the two Korean marques, which have been catching up to Japan's volume automakers thanks to their radically improved lineups.
In 2010, Hyundai began touting its lineup as the most fuel-efficient in America. This stirred emotions at Honda, a brand that had been the nation's top performer in fuel economy for 33 years. With this recent adjustment by Hyundai, Honda is evidently hoping to wear the fuel efficiency crown once again.
According to the report, the Korean automakers' errors came in the EPA's "coastdown" test, in which a test car is driven to 129 kilometres per hour (80 mph), put in neutral and "coasted" to 14 km/h (9 mph). Hyundai admits this part of the test was not performed correctly. According to Sung Hwan Cho, president of Hyundai's US technical center, "These were just honest procedure errors in a very complex testing process."
Adding to Honda's opportunity is the recently previewed 2013 Honda Civic, set to go on sale the same day it is revealed at this month's LA Motor Show. The 2012 model came in for harsh criticism from the automotive press, though the model's sales proved largely unaffected by the controversy. Industry analysts suggest that Honda's new (and presumably improved) 2013 Civic should put the automaker in prime position to reclaim both consumer mindshare and the industry's mileage crown.

Breakfast Topic: Your biggest regrets from the Wrath era {WoW}
Dec 4th 2010 12:17PM As far as I know, Dungeon set 1 is gone too, since the level range was changed for Strat and Scholo. I spent almost two solid days trying to farm up two D1 sets (one to keep and one to upgrade to D2) while working through the D2 upgrade quest line from the beginning. I made it all the way through the questline and during the wee hours before the patch hit, I was only missing the chest piece. My boyfriend and I killed General Drakkisath til he finally gave it up an hour before the servers went down, then I ran out of UBRS and upgraded that sucker.
I really regret not starting the grind sooner because I didn't quite finish my second set. The Magister's set looks really cool and I'm missing the head and chest. But I am the prowd owner of Sorcerer's Regalia :)
Breakfast Topic: Rest in peace, Mankrik's wife {WoW}
Nov 16th 2010 11:58AM The questline in the Plaguelands where you read Mrs. Dalson's Diary. It's about a woman who realizes that her husband has caught the plague, so she locks him in the outhouse. But she needs money to escape the Plaguelands and start over, and all their valuables are locked in a wardrobe that only her husband has the key to. She ends up turning into a skeleton, still carrying the key to the outhouse where she locked her husband who is now a Scourge monster. I always thought that she shouldn't be hostile toward players, I hated to kill her after getting caught up in her story and what it must have been like to know that the person you love is going to turn on you.
Drama Mamas: Raiding while female {WoW}
Oct 22nd 2010 2:34PM @CK
I see why you've been downvoted into oblivion, but I follow your logic. Male raiders recruit female, do stupid stuff because of female presence in raid, RL/GM blames female and institutes a "no girls allowed" rule.
I know there are some ladies out there who thrive on the attention and drama they can create by being a girl in a guild/raid of male gamers. Most of us are not like that. IMO, it's the same social pressures that create the male raiders who can't behave normally with a girl around and the so-called "attention whores". Many gamers are low on the social ladder (or think they are) and will take any attention from the preferred gender as good attention.
Ladies: If you are causing problems by being overly flirty, stop. You'll never be satisfied with attention from gamer boys...unless it's coming from the one, special gamer boy that you respect. :) Otherwise, play on and don't let anyone tell you being a girl makes you less of a raider. Drama Mama Lisa was right on.
Dudes: You don't have to compromise your guild rules or personal standards for a girl to think you're cool. Be nice and respectful and you'll find someone who treats you the same way.
Breakfast Topic: It's a small, small world {WoW}
Oct 13th 2010 11:28AM "a logo dress shirt with a small crest in a color other than black"
This. I'd love to see some colorful WoW gear irl. I don't like wearing black, it doesn't look good on me. I have a Save the Murlocs t-shirt because it was cheap, but I know I would wear it more if it were any color other than black. I'm holding out for a Dalaran University shirt because it's a pretty tasteful blue design.
The Classifieds: Scilla guilds rally for breast cancer awareness {WoW}
Oct 7th 2010 1:19AM @Stardusted
I'm sorry to hear that you are affected by MS. I won't pretend to know what that's like, because I don't. I just want to say that drug companies' patents only last about 20 years, and they file that stuff years before the drug actually hits the shelves. Prices can get ridiculous, but the amount of money that goes into research, development, clinical trials, and the actual production of the drug is absolutely staggering. Research is expensive, if it wasn't then we wouldn't need to resort to huge publicity stunts to get people to donate. And if you're interested, the drug that eventually became Viagra was originally developed to treat high blood pressure and chest pain. They discovered it had a nice little "side effect" in clinical trials and so it became an ED treatment.
ED is a real medical condition. So is MS. So is cancer. There are lots of really crappy things that can go wrong with the body and no matter what it is, it sucks. Some stuff is definitely worse than others, but I wish it didn't feel like all the different conditions were fighting each other for awareness and research money. That's not helping anyone.

Local photographer Rick Dodson's first camera was a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye, but his eye for photography didn't develop until he picked up a Nikon while serving his first tour in Vietnam. "I really started carrying my camera with me everywhere I went during my first tour in Vietnam," said Dodson. "My clerk went on R & R and I asked him to pick up a camera for me. He returned with a Nikon F, 1.4 50mm lens and after that it never left my side."
Dodson is exhibiting a collection of his photographs at the Chester Library for the month of December as part of the Chesterfield Center for the Arts Foundation's "Artist of the Month" program. The exhibit, titled "Closer to Home," opened last Saturday and will run through December 26. This is Dodson's second show for the foundation and features photos of several Richmond landmarks, Maymont Park, South Carolina's coast, Maine's Acadia Park, birds, Finger Lakes, New York and four special pictures from the Normandy Beaches of France. His first exhibit featured photos from around the world.
"I have enjoyed photography since I was a teenager," he said. "I've had an opportunity to travel extensively during my 21 years of service with the Army and 17 years of service as a Department of Army Civilian. Retired since 1999, I've had some additional time to explore Richmond with my camera and capture images of some historic buildings and monuments as well as wildlife. I will exhibit some recent photos of the city and travel sites."
Dodson switched to a digital camera around four years ago. He currently shoots with a Nikon D5000 with 18-70mm, 55-200mm and 50-500mm (Sigma) lens. Dodson said he takes most shots based on events that occur in and around Chester and Richmond area, scheduled photo shoots with the Richmond Camera Club and travel opportunities with family and friends. "I enjoy shooting pictures in National Park landscapes, animals and other wildlife, especially birds, ducks, geese and human-interest shots," he said.
Since switching to digital Dodson has amassed around 30,000 images in his files. He said he can shoot around 900 images during one outing. "The hardest part is reviewing the digital files," he said. "Especially if I'm using the "burst" shutter mode, and culling out multiple shots."
Dodson uses Adobe Photoshop's Lightroom4 to import and catalog his photos. "Basically I catalog photos by year, geographical area e.g., Around the House, Family, Kiwanis, Travel, etc. Each of those categories can have sub and sub-sub-categories," he said.
Dodson said his history as a photographer would be classified as amateur. He had only recently begun offering his photos for sale. Dodson is a member/co-op owner at UpTown Gallery in Richmond. He currently has photos at Crossroads Gallery, Virginia Eye Institute and UpTown Gallery. His education in photography comes from association with professional photographers in organizations of which he is a member (Chester Artists Association, Photographic Society of America, Camera Club of Richmond and UpTown Gallery), full-day workshops with NAPP (National Association of Photoshop Photographers) and extensive reading and self study.
Dodson and his wife, Mary Jo, have been Chester residents since 1976. Since retirement, they both spend their time doing volunteer work at MCV Hospital, the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, the YMCA and Kiwanis. They have four children and nine grandchildren.

[464] Evaluation of a Gene Expression Microarray Assay To Determine Tissue of Origin in Body Fluid Specimens
GA Stancel, D Mody, K Alvarez, T Fairley, FA Monzon. The Methodist Hospital and The Methodist Hospital Research Institute, Houston, TX; Weil-Cornell Medical College, New York, NY
Background: Identification of the tissue of origin is a common challenge for cytology specimens since tumors with uncertain origin represent 5-10% of all new cancer cases. Cytologic body fluids are routinely obtained in the diagnostic workup of these cases. The Pathwork Tissue of Origin test was cleared by the FDA as an in vitro diagnostic device for frozen tissue, and a version of the test has been developed that works with formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue, but is not cleared by FDA. Here, we present initial results for the evaluation of this assay in body fluid specimens using both the thrombin and CellientTM cell block methodologies.
Design: We retrieved 8 tumor-positive and 7 negative body FFPE fluid specimens processed with both thrombin and Cellient™(Hologic, Bedford, MA) cell block methods (30 total samples). Two negative body fluids and two non-cytology tumor samples were used as controls. RNA was extracted from the FFPE samples and assays were performed according to a standardized amplification protocol and hybridized to PathchipTM microarrays (Pathwork Diagnostics, Redwood City, CA). A Tissue of Origin report was generated for each sample, and compared with that of the primary tumor site. In addition, results between the thrombin and Cellient cell block methods are compared.
Results: All 30 samples provided sufficient RNA of adequate quantity and quality for the Tissue of Origin assay. To test the FFPE Tissue of Origin assay in our laboratory, we analyzed RNA from 2 primary tumors (one frozen, one FFPE), which correlated with the gene expression pattern of the original primary tumor (kidney and lymphoma). Complete data on 2 samples (1 thrombin, 1 Cellient) negative for tumor showed good performance with the Pathchip array, passing all quality thresholds and producing reliable gene expression profiles consistent with inflammatory and mesothelial cells.
Conclusions: Our preliminary results show that it is possible to obtain gene expression profiles from FFPE body fluid cytology specimens using the FFPE version of the Pathwork Tissue of Origin test. The remainder of our samples will be analyzed to determine the ability to detect tissue of origin and the results from the thrombin and Cellient methods will be compared. These preliminary results suggest that gene expression profiling could be a useful approach for body fluid cytology specimens.

I have recently been appointed as the garden club president for my city's garden club. At this time I have a number of ideas for programs but would also like to hear from you. What have you attended or taught that really was well received by the audience? What were the "duds"? Our presenters only get about 20-25 minutes to deliver the program. I am also interested in field trips, make and takes for the garden. Thanks for any ideas you have to offer. Tina in Kansas, Zone5 |
Follow-Up Postings:
Over the years and several garden related organiztions the most remembered programs have been: Bring and share your favorite gardening tool, Local soil and geology, Growing Antique... trees, vegetables, flowers, How to Propagate, Making a Worm Bin and Keeping them Happy in Your Home, Hypertufa and other garden art. One that I loved, but few others did was Cooking with Native plants. |

Plenty of my friends are looking

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Paris!
Facts about Paris
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/Golden Retriever Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Paris's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Meet Paris!
Paris is a Golen Retriever/Lab Mix who is between 1 and 2 years old. She was sadly used for breeding and is only now about to learn what life is really all about.
She is a sweet girl who loves to play and be active. She just loves playing catch if you have a tennis ball on-hand! She's good with other dogs but a little timid around large ones, however she warms up to them. She just loves small dogs!
She likes to walk in the lead on the leash but does not pull. She walks best on a harness as the tightness of a collar on her neck makes her nervous. She loves car rides and children but can get a bit excited when meeting new people.
Paris also loves to 'talk' meaning she is a vocal girl who expresses her boundaries, excitement, and anxieties through barks. She's definitely got the watchdog gene and will bark to let you know the doorbell is ringing or that someone is on the property.
Paris also thinks she's a lap dog ;) She loves cuddles and to be the center of attention, and shows a touch of separation anxiety when alone. She is incredibly smart and knows her basic commands, she is also smart enough to sometimes get out of her crate -- luckily she never does anything bad once she's out, she'll just be waiting for you to come home.
Do you have room for Paris? Let us know if you can give her a new LEASH-on-life!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Paris, a Pitt Meadows Labrador Retriever/Golden Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Golden Retriever for sale in Pitt Meadows, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Golden Retriever dog from a breeder in Pitt Meadows.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Pitt Meadows 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 Pitt Meadows 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 Labrador Retriever/Golden Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Golden Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Pitt Meadows paves the way for another one to be saved.

Spaghetti Carbonara al Mare
Spaghetti Carbonara al Mare
This spaghetti dish is easy to prepare and full of flavor. Egg yolks are full of protein, and create a thick and comforting pasta sauce, without any added cream. This spaghetti dish is meant for 1 person. Just double the portions if you are cooking for more than one person.
100 grams whole wheat spaghetti
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
4 anchovies, finely chopped
2 egg yolks
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus extra for garnish
Freshly grated black pepper
Bring a large pot of water to a boil with a heavy pinch of salt.
Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook for the amount of time indicated on the package.
Meanwhile, heat up the olive oil in a small sauté pan and cook the garlic gently. Add the anchovies to the pan and lightly sauté until they are slightly stiff then remove from heat. Gently beat the egg yolks in a separate bowl.
When the pasta is "al dente", scoop out about 1 cup of the cooking liquid and drain the pasta.
Quickly transfer the pasta back into the pot, along with the garlic and anchovies, and enough cooking liquid to keep the spaghetti loose and moving. This is best done ¼ of a cup at a time. Add the egg yolks and toss rapidly with a wooden spoon or tongs so that the spaghetti is well coated with everything. Stir in the cheese and season with the freshly ground black pepper.
Thank you for some other informative site.
Where else could I get that type of info written in such a perfect approach?
I've a challenge that I'm just now working on, and I have been on the glance out for such info.

Cameron Man Sentenced To 10 Months For Failure To Register As Sex Offender
Muskogee, Oklahoma - The United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, announced that DAVID LYNN PHILLIPS, age 38, of Cameron, Oklahoma, was sentenced to 10 months imprisonment, followed by 5 years of supervised release for Failure to Register as Sex Offender, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 2250(a)(1), 2250(a)(2)(A) and 2250(a)(3).
The charge arose from an investigation by the United States Marshal Service. The defendant was indicted and pled guilty in November, 2012.
The Indictment alleged that from on or about May 12, 2012, until on or about October 31, 2012, in the Eastern District of Oklahoma, and elsewhere, the defendant, an individual required to register as a Sex Offender under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, after having received a felony conviction from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, on or about January 11, 2005, for the Federal Offense of Possession Of Child Pornography, knowingly failed to register and update his registration as required by the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act.
The Honorable Ronald A. White, District Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, in Muskogee, presided over today's hearing. The defendant remains in the custody of the United States Marshal Service pending transportation to the designated federal prison at which he will serve his nonparolable sentence.
Assistant United States Attorney Edward Snow represented the United States.

About | Projects | Docs | Forums | Lists | Bugs | Get Gentoo! | Support | Planet | Wiki
From a freshly reported bug: Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install gentoo for OSX and not be perfectly comfortable you did it right. 2. Add ~ppc-macos to the keywords for the mediawiki-1.4.9.ebuild. 3. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~ppc-macos" emerge mediawiki Here is where I want the discussion to start. I myself would have done it exact the same way, and I see it happen a lot. In fact, I even think this is the way the Gentoo docs advocate the use of ~arch. What's wrong with it? In a recent discussion I found out this is, however, not the way some other people see the use of ~arch. Instead they assume your whole system is ~arch. This very bug reported might be fixed if the whole system would be ~ppc-macos, however, the user doesn't want that. Instead, the user wants to use an unstable package, to have a very isolated case, where an unstable package lives as a stable one. As far as I know, this is the whole thing on Portage. It allows you to do this, and it enables you to do this, and it even facilitates you to do this more automated, for instance via package.keywords. My opinion here is that there is something wrong if portage isn't able to tell what it needs to run a package in ~ppc-macos. Maybe this is not easily fixable, and should we do some extra hacks to make the two worlds play nice again. However, I don't think having a fully ~arch system is equal to a user that runs a stable system and wants to grab one package from the unstable branch. I consider the first case to be 'progressive' (not in the ppc-macos sense) or 'bleeding edge' while the latter case is more realistic and what happens in real life: 'controlled risk'. I like to straighten out this issue, so everyone knows what should be done or not be done. I just assumed the only vision I knew was what everyone has in mind, and this appears not to be like this. I think it's directly related to QA and I feel my actions largely depend on it. So, until I know what I'm doing is right or wrong, I won't do anything. -- Fabian Groffen Gentoo for Mac OS X -- firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list

A Celebration of All Things Cultural, Artistic, and Entertaining in Madison
Aug 2, 2011
SpotlightBreaking the Silence
Stillness and quiet might be the first things you notice when you step into the James Watrous Gallery. But examine the latest side-by-side solo exhibitions, open through August 7, and you'll quickly see some major themes underlie the silence.
Madison artist Lewis Koch's Bomber, a chance unwinding is an installation of photography, maps and text. Many of the images show the remains of a World War II B-17 bomber that crashed in Wyoming's Cloud Peak Wilderness in 1943. Pieces of the plane are twisted, charred and scattered about the desolate, rocky terrain—"rubble on rubble," as a line of text on a gallery wall describes.
Along with these photographs are maps and photographs of wartime: planes in the air, bombs being dropped, a hand marking a map, a target in crosshairs. They're a flurry of activity, snapshots of the effort, planning and work that go into war.
They're also a stark contrast to the aftermath of the conflict, the metal debris sitting in Wyoming. Looking at these lonely fragments, it's hard to imagine the intensity of war. Here, it is an event in the past; time has moved on and so has the landscape, though it's been touched by war.
Additional wall text illustrates this further when it describes "war (diminished) and nature (remains)" and states "War seems like a small punctuation in the everlasting of it all."
In Mark Klassen's Current Work, the Milwaukee artist features an installation of five "windows" decorated with drab, pale gold curtains. The shades are closed, blocking out any view and making the visitor wonder what's beyond. They create a sad feeling, one that's coupled with a sense of sterile anonymity.
As curtains hide a person from the outside world, yet don't offer much physical protection, they're an ideal symbol for Klassen, who explores ideas of safety, fear and security in his work. As he states in text for the show, "There is perhaps some disconnect between the reality of being protected and fears of mortality."
Another interesting component of Klassen's exhibition is a screen displayed high up. On it, an extremely slow depiction of a car crash simulation plays out: the car hits a wall, air bags deploy, the test dummies' heads come forward and eventually thrust back. The action is excruciatingly slow; because you know what's coming, you brace for the impact. And waiting for assumptions to become reality gives time for fear to set in.
Lewis Koch: Bomber, a chance unwinding and Mark Klassen: Current Work are on display at the James Watrous Gallery through August 7. For more information, visit wisconsinacademy.org.

Nuri Sahin Finally Makes Real Debut
November 10, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Parvez Fatteh, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, email@example.com
Turkish midfielder Nuri Sahin finally took a bow with his new soccer team Real Madrid this past weekend as part of their 7-1 blowout of fellow Spanish club Osasuna. His debut was delayed by a knee injury, after having signed with the club this past summer from Borussia Dortmund. He admitted to being nervous prior to his debut, but he received a warm welcome from the crowd as he was introduced as a second-half substitute.
Sahin, who was a key figure in Dortmund's Bundesliga title success last season, told the club's website: "It's been a great day for me. I wish to thank everyone at the Santiago Bernabeu, my team-mates, the manager and the president. I must now work hard to be able to help the team.
"I'm very happy for playing my first game with Real Madrid. It's been difficult being injured. I was a little nervous before coming on because it was my first match before the fans. I felt confident and happy after a couple of minutes. We must continue to work hard because we will face difficult games after the league break."
Real extended their lead at the top of the Primera Division of Spain's La Liga to three points after their blowout victory, coupled with rival Barcelona's 2-2 draw at Athletic Bilbao later in the day.
It was a big day for another Muslim footballer on Real Madrid as well, as French striker Karim Benzema scored twice. Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo added a hat trick. The one negative note was the injury sustained by Angel Di Maria. The Argentina winger was forced off with what the club described as a hamstring injury, having set up all three of Real's first-half goals.
Diouf: College Soccer Player of the Month
September 8, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Parvez Fatteh, TMO, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, firstname.lastname@example.com
Sophomore soccer player Mamadou Doudou Diouf was named the Big East Player of the Week after scoring four goals over the weekend, including a hat trick against Cal.
Diouf led UConn to a 2-0 week with a 2-1 victory over Michigan State on Thursday and a commanding 4-1 defeat of No. 7 California on Sunday. Both games were played at Joseph J. Morrone Stadium in Storrs. He finished the weekend with four goals, including a hat trick against California.
Diouf opened the week with his first goal of the season against Michigan State. On Sunday, Diouf netted UConn's first hat trick since current senior Tony Cascio registered three goals against South Florida on September 24, 2010. Diouf calmly buried two penalty kicks in the second half and scored from the run of play in the first half to make it 1-0. Diouf's second goal of the day was the game-winning goal.
The 6'1" striker originally hails from Dakar, Senagal. After a successful freshman season with the University of Connecticut, Diouf has started his sophomore season with a bang. And all of this has been at the young age of 20, with him turning 21 on September 15th.
Electoral Verdict & Muslims' Success!
May 19, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Nilofar Suhrawardy, TMO
NEW DELHI: Declaration of results to the five state assembly elections has certainly ended political suspense regarding the fate of candidates and parties engaged in the political battle. It is now imperative to analyse the results particularly in context of electoral success of Indian Muslims. Before elaborating on Muslims' standing in this political phase, it is relevant to evaluate the overall performance of major parties in the race. Undeniably, the success of Trinamool Congress in alliance with Congress in ousting the Left bloc from power in West Bengal stands out. The Left has been pushed out of power after having headed the state government for 34 years. Trinamool Chief Mamata Bannerjee, popularly known as Didi, has been hailed in most quarters for having succeeded in this mission. Having won 184 seats in polls held in 294 constituencies, the Trinamool has emerged as a major political force in West Bengal, as it has the needed the strength to form the government with or without support from its allies, including the Congress. The Congress has won 42 seats. Credit must be given to both the Trinamool and Congress parties for having fought the elections as allies. It was sensible of Congress not to have insisted on testing its political strength in all the constituencies without reaching any political understanding with Trinamool. The Congress tried this experiment earlier in Bihar assembly elections to only fail and make it easier for its rivals – National Democratic Alliance- to return to power in state with greater success than expected.
In contrast, Congress and its key ally- Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) have failed miserably in Tamil Nadu. In polls held to 234 seats, All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), led by J. Jayalalitha has won 150 seats. The DMK has secured only 23 and the Congress – five seats.
The Congress has fared well in Assam by winning 78 out of 126 seats. It is a hat trick for Congress leader Tarun Gogoi to return to power as Assam Chief Minister for the third term. Kerala has also spelt success for Congress but only with the support of its ally, Muslim League. Here, the Left Democratic Front (LDF) has been pushed out of power with the Congress-coalition that is the United Democratic Front (UDF) winning 72 seats in the battle for 140. The LDF managed only 68. While the Congress has won 38 seats, the 20 secured by Muslim League have played a major role in helping UDF form the new Kerala government. The elections to 30 constituencies in Pondicherry have witnessed victory for Congress in seven, AIADMK- five, DMK – two and others – 16.
Apart from stunning defeat faced by Left in West Bengal as well as its failure in Kerala to return to power, the political loss suffered by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) cannot be sidelined. The BJP has won only one seat in West Bengal, five in Assam and none in South India. The five seats won in Assam are only half of the 10 BJP had in the preceding assembly. The BJP contested more than 800 seats in the five states' assembly elections. Undeniably, the Congress has performed better, but it cannot be missed that except for in Assam, the party has not fared too well on its own strength. The Congress has won less than 50 percent of the seats it contested. The party has tasted success in only 170 of the 359 seats it contested.
The assembly elections are also a crucial indicator of the increasing political importance of Muslim votes as well as Muslim parties. As mentioned earlier, the UDF's success in Kerala would not have been possible without the state Muslim League as a key ally. The reverse is the case in Assam, where Asom United Democratic Front (AUDF) – led by Maulana Badruddin Ajmal Qasmi – has emerged as the leading party in the opposition. The BJP and its ally Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) have lost their position as the main opposition group to AUDF, which has won 18 seats. Though, nominally, unlike Kerala's Muslim League, AUDF has not included any religious term in its label, the party is known as a Muslim party. Despite being in the political race only for the second term, AUDF has increased in its tally from 10 in the last assembly to 18 in the new one. What is more amazing is its emergence as the leading opposition party, the second most important party (after Congress) in the Assam assembly.
The percentage of Muslims in Assam is around 31 percent. Against 25 Muslim members in the last Assam assembly, there are 28 in the new one, with 16 from AUDF. West Bengal, with Muslims constituting 28 percent of the state's population, has elected 59 Muslims, 13 more than in the earlier assembly. Twenty-five percent of Kerala's population are Muslims. The state has elected 36 Muslims, 11 more than earlier, to the new assembly. Muslims constitute less than 13 percent of the population in both Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry. The two states have lesser Muslim members than they had in the outgoing assemblies. While Tamil Nadu has elected six members, Pondicherry has elected one, against the seven and two, both the states respectively had in the previous assemblies.
There is no denying that representation of Muslims in the five state assemblies remains below the mark it should be in keeping with their population. Nevertheless, the assembly elections indicate that their political importance and strength have definitely displayed a decisive increase in states where their population is more than 25 percent, which are West Bengal, Assam and Kerala. Interestingly, BJP's political card has failed miserably in all the five states against the electoral verdict won by Muslim candidates as well as Muslim parties!

Delay is one of the most common symptoms of a dysfunctional justice system. The causes, however, can be manifold and the strategy to address delay will need to be based on empirical evidence and address the specific causes identified.
Typical Challenge 2: Lack of Access to JusticeWaleed Malik (PSM) and Vivek Maru (LEGJR)
Access to justice is more than just a label for bottom-up activities. Different segments of the population may find access difficult for a variety of reasons ranging from lack of empowerment, lack of information, cost, distance, bias and culture. It is important to be clear about what may be the access challenges in order to address them successfully.
Typical Challenge 3: Insufficient Human Resource CapacityLuba Beardsley (LEGJR)
Human resources in justice systems of many developing countries lack the capacity to perform in their jobs. This is true for judges, prosecutors, and court staff alike, but also for other legal professionals. Training programs and the establishment of judicial training academies are therefore a common element of donor responses. This session will look at typical issues around training and training institutions.
Typical Challenge 4: Inappropriate and Decrepit Judicial Infrastructure
Klaus Decker (PSM) and Gerry Thacker (consultant)The justice systems in many developing countries suffer from an infrastructure that has insufficient coverage, is not designed for judicial institutions, and is in such bad shape that service delivery to those seeking justice is seriously affected. This session will shed light on how justice reform programs can address this challenge.
Coffee Break
Typical Challenge 5: Legal pluralism and Justice in DevelopmentNick Menzies and Rea Abada Chiongson (LEGJR)
Legal pluralism can be defined as the presence of more than one legal order in a given context. Most, if not all, countries in all regions of the world can be characterized as being legally plural. Yet in certain contexts, particularly where state law is weak, legal pluralism presents particular challenges for development. Designers of successful Bank projects in legally plural contexts need, not only to explore and consider the multiple strands that make up the law, but to also consider the ways development projects across the spectrum of the Bank's work can affect the plural regulatory environment. This session will explore the growing part of the Bank's justice portfolio that is undertaken with this outlook.
Working Lunch – Developing the exercise assignment
Monitoring and Evaluation of Justice Reform ActivitiesHeike Gramckow (LEGJR)
Developing a solid monitoring and evaluation framework for justice reform activities, defining realistic targets, choosing smart outcome and output indicators and using a sound data mix can be a challenging undertaking, even for experienced task team leaders. This session will provide participants with useful insights and guidance.

No more inmate street crossing in downtown Yakima
The virtual chain gang is coming to an end. For years, inmates from the Yakima County Jail have been brought into the daylight to walk across a public street and into the main courthouse. Solutions to fix this safety issue have been batted about before. But now, it will come to an end next month.
Officials say keeping this road clear of inmates walking to and from court from jail will both keep the community safer and save money.
The only exceptions are jury trials. Otherwise, all hearings will be held in the courtroom in the basement of the jail. The judge, attorneys and clerk will make the walk instead of the inmates.
"The judges were concerned about the safety and security of the community, because these people are in jail for a reason. And so, why not go over there, instead of bringing them and risking possible attempts of escape?" said Harold Delia, the Yakima County court administrator.
In addition to the safety concern, this move will also speed up hearings. They won't have to wait out the time to move the inmates.
"We anticipate a significant savings in personnel costs for the Department of Corrections," said Delia.
There was once a more elaborate plan to avoid the walk on the street. It included a skybridge connecting the jail to the courthouse. That turned out to be too expensive.
People who live and work nearby are happy to hear the practice will end.
"People will feel safer not seeing the criminal aspect of it, you know, seeing them shackled. They just get, people get scared because they see that," said Brian Kalakosky.
A simple solution to prevent a dangerous threat.
"It was a disaster waiting to happen in my view," said Delia.
Court administrators say the change also saves time. Walking the chain gang to court can take up to half an hour.

text: you asked... Q&A: Dressing to hide pregnancy? I'm not ready to tell people that I'm pregnant yet. What clothes can help hide my growing belly? Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts Re: I'm not ready to tell people that I'm pregnant yet. What clothes can help hide my growing belly? In the beginning, if you don't want people to know, be sure to have a lot going on up top. I guarantee that if you try big earrings, red lipstick, or a chunky necklace, no one is going to notice your tummy. Go for lots of beads, chunky platform shoes, unbuttoned cardigans, and jackets. Today's larger clutches are also great because you naturally hold them right in front of you. And prints and floral patterns make perfect baby camouflage! Dark, looser bags are also good for hiding.Put your attention on everything besides your belly -- head, toes, hair. Maybe it's time for a new hairstyle! These are the same techniques you'll use in late pregnancy to reenergize your limited wardrobe.--Cynthia Rowley Kaitlin Stanford re: Q: Dressing to hide pregnancy? Try babydoll tops, they are popular for women who aren't pregnant as well. Also, if you throw on a scarf that hangs down to your belly, the extra fabric will hide your little growing belly. Avoid fitted tops, they accentuate it. mellObellie | Q&A: Dressing to hide pregnancy? This sounds a little crazy, but I actually look less pregnant in maternity clothes than in regular clothes because they are looser. If you can find maternity clothes that look like normal clothes, try that. Even maternity pants, as long as you wear a long top that covers the waste helps, because it smoothes my figure instead of highlighting the fact that I can't button up my pants any more. lexicgrace | Q&A: Dressing to hide pregnancy? Avoid empire waists, because unless you are one of those super tiny people even when your pregnant, you will draw your eye to your tummy. Detailed jackets, put together with a piece of flashy jewelry draw the eye upward and towards curves. Loose layers can also work, just be cautious you don't over due or it will look like your trying to hide the fact your pregnant. I also find that it can help to wear clothes around the belly botton, because longer shirts can show some baby belly. Natacreatedartist | Q&A: Dressing to hide pregnancy? Just went today to purchase a few "transition" pieces on sale after the holiday... buying tops in XXL has helped! I have an extra challenge of not being able to layer much because the air circulation in my office is terrible and makes it hot in there... so , looking for tops that are a bit loose or hang straight down vs. form fitting are key! I also look for darker tops that help hide the poofy parts! AdeleLogan | Q&A: Dressing to hide pregnancy? Commonly with your first pregnancy the bump is slower to show. You can buy some great looking dresses and pants that disguise the weight gain. Of course during the last eight weeks it is almost impossible to disguise! Andrea Jones andreajones1 | Q&A: Dressing to hide pregnancy? I used banded bottom tops to help hide and they worked wonders! They are a little baggy and the banded part adds as a benefit to hold the shirt down! They are comfortable and I look forward to using them for hiding my transition back to as close as possible to my pre-baby figure! camiarnold | Q&A: Dressing to hide pregnancy? I am loving some of the answers on here. I have to visit a relative that had a miscarriage recently and I don't want to stir up bad emotions. I know they are happy for us, but I also grieve for their loss. I'm already 25 weeks and showing quite a lot. I'm thinking the jacket with a scarf should really be great! Thanks for all of the great responses! jen56039 | Q&A: Dressing to hide pregnancy? Super-big cowl necks, Babydoll tops and Maternal America's tummy tuck dress or tummy tuck top are my secret weapons. You may not want to buy because they are pricey, but these days you can rent them for just a few months during 1st trimester or again when nursing later on. XMMama | dressing-to-hide-pregnancy Start with a pre pregnancy weight of a svelte 250lbs. They will take forever to notice! :D Bigboneded | Q&A: Dressing to hide pregnancy?

The mix itself combines all of Pinch's loves, a blend of both melodic mood-pieces, driving dub-techno and the odd mid-range bass wobble masterfully planted to maximum effect. This is all peppered through in post-production with little vocal samples, mostly supplied by Bristol MC Jakes, that fully form the mix, like the grain in wood, supplying body, making it more than just a sum of its constituent parts. Pinch kicks things off somewhere through a Distal production, a screwed hip-hop vocal making it sound like a paranoiac's reimagining of ghetto-tech. This quickly sets the tone - managing to juggle the ominous with the upfront, like the Lynchian strings of 'In Dreams' which phase seamlessly into the manic energy of Boddika and Joy O's recent smash 'Swims'. The mix really clips along, testament to Pinch's skill behind the decks, most tracks only playing out for a couple of minutes at most. There's a nod to the pure dub-techno of Basic Channel, with a cut from Shed's side-project EQD, mastered at that other altar to all things bass, Berlin's Hard Wax. This drives into another major influence, with Pinch's own remix adding some rolling sine-waves to the guttural vocals of Prince Green on Henry & Louis' neo-dub. A sledgehammer wobble both heralds, and ends, the central section of the mix, with Pinch's collaborative effort with Photek, and Chestplate boss Distance's weighty 'Blue Meanie'. This central nub almost functions as a showcase, Pinch demonstrating some of contemporary dubstep's many flavours: the industrial sounds of Emika, Roska's clattering drums, Addison Groove's use of repeating vocals as a rhythmic weapon and the shimmering techy keys of Goth Trad. The final two tracks are supplied by a couple of the most promising young producers to emerge in the past few years, Londoner OM Unit and Tectonic's own Illum Sphere. 'Pressure' certainly doesn't let up, presenting us with a relentless squiggling synth-line awash in a storm of feedback then changing tack considerably into a steady pulsing beat. Pinch often talks of psychedelic dub, and here Illum Sphere demonstrates it wonderfully, toeing the line between instrumental breakbeats and even deep house, with its ethnic drums, distorted strings and a pitched down warble. This isn't the true end as the mix is bookended with the rest of Distal's track in order to achieve a perfect circularity.
Additional Information
Artist Name | Pinch |
quote | I am a supporter of the sound of vinyl and the cultural associations I make with this format so it was important to me - even if I do ultimately end up abandoning my beloved format one day - to stick by my guns and record the mix like this. I also made the whole mix start and finish in the same spot - meaning that the entire DJ mix can work as a loop if you put it on repeat. I really like the idea of certain kinds of music existing in its own infinite context and setting up the mix to loop like that was playing entirely into that idea. |

Notable Numbers
* Welp, congratulations, Earth. You've been around long enough to experience the Patch-trick: a hat-trick for one NHL player who also managed to miss two penalty shots in the same game. Max Pacioretty – well done.
* Ovechkin has like, 1000 goals this year. More on that below.
* Steve Mason stopped 38 of 39 shots (.974), and Ben Scriven stopped 34 of 35 pucks (.971) to help their respective teams to victory. Nicely done, fellas.
What Happened
Being fast is handy
And Mason Raymond is as fast as they come. Great pass too.
And in transition…
Gustav Nyquist is making quite the name for himself…
Poor Sabres
Just…poor, poor Sabres.
Hold on, how many?
Here's Alex Ovechkin's 40th goal of the season. I don't care if it went in off his chin, he hit 40 this early in the year, so we're showing it.
Your thoughts, Ovi?
It's [a] good number. I'm pretty sure it's not my last goal, so I don't want to stop. I just want to keep going.
(From NHL.com)
An Opinion
(My take on St. Louis in for Stamkos, from yesterday.)
So Martin St. Louis has been named the replacement for Steven Stamkos on Team Canada, and that's a great thing for both him and the team. While he may not be the best player on the list of available names – Giroux, Neal, Seguin, Staal, Thornton and others were available as well – he's the best suited for the Olympic Games.
Awhile back I wrote this about the difference between playing on NHL-sized ice and the big international rink:
There's a huge misconception that because there's more ice, you need faster players. I think you need better decision-makers with the puck. On the small sheet, you need players with great instincts who get the puck to the right areas without much deliberation. On Olympic ice, it can be alarming when you get the puck and realize you have a full second or two to figure out just what you want to do. "Paralysis by analysis" can be a thing, so composed, smart players will take you further than spazzes.
Marty St. Louis is the human embodiment of those characteristics. He's smart, patient and skilled, not to mention experienced enough to not panic when the pace of the game becomes frenzied.
This is a guy a year removed from an Art Ross trophy who's again leading his team in points with 54 in 56 games. He's a great selection.
At this stage in their careers Claude Giroux is probably a better player than Marty St. Louis. But for an international event on big ice that starts in a week, the latter was the correct choice for Canada.
Other News
* Ed Snider said something not-that-unreasonable that hockey people hate.
* Kris Letang is sick, no doubt. We aren't sure how sick. But Pens media are saying it "isn't life-threatening," which offers some context.
And finally…
* Sometimes you just gotta give the guillotine to those you hate.

Kids can be so cruel: The Esperanza Spalding vs. Justin Bieber worldwide freakout, Day Three
It's been three days since little-known jazz bassist/singer Esperanza Spalding upset Justin Bieber for the Best New Artist trophy at Sunday night's Grammy awards, commencing a YouTube/Twitter/blogosphere freakout the likes of which we have not seen since Miley last picked up a bong. Spalding's Wiki page was Bieber-bombed by irate members of his child army who threatened her life and, for reasons that are less clear, changed her middle name to "Quesadilla." Kids can be so cruel!
While we wait for the healing to begin, we thought we'd address some common questions that have arisen in the wake of what we will now, for decency's sake, refer to only as The Incident:
Who the heck is Esperanza Spalding, and is her life insurance up to date?
She's a jazz musician. She has an album out. Possibly it's good, but we're not getting in the middle of this. (Actually, it is.) And those classier than us certainly seem to like her. We think she looks like what would happen if Willow Smith and Gwyneth Paltrow had a baby. And yes, we know that's impossible.
There have been so many death threats. How can you pick a favorite?
You can't. It wouldn't be fair. But we are partial to a tweet from @Danideelove that suggested Spalding "Go die in a whole" (we think she means "hole"). More, mostly unprintable ones, can be found here.
(Bieber takes it like a man, and why Grammy voters were probably not smoking crack, after the jump.)
Could this have happened because Grammy voters figured that everyone else was going to vote for Justin Bieber, freeing them to vote for someone else? Or maybe they're just really sick of him and wanted to cut him down to size a little?
How is Bieber holding up?
Like a champ. He publicly embraced Spalding backstage, either potentially sparing her life or endangering it further: We just don't know yet. He exhibited just the right amount of disappointment during an appearance on "Chelsea Lately," saying "I'm not going to lie. People are expecting me to say something else, but I am disappointed."
Why is Bieber acting like this was his to lose, anyway? Weren't there other artists nominated in this category? Entirely credible candidates like Drake and Florence and the Machine?
Yes, which makes Spalding's win even more surprising. In a way, she took one for the team.

Esperanza Spalding has been one of the biggest names in the world of jazz for the last few years. What surprises me is that she one best new artist when she has put out 2 records already and was a side person in bands for years before that. I had never heard of Lady Antebellum before Sunday night. There is a good reason for that. I never listen to country music. It is fine to like country music, it is just not my thing. Evey person who is currently a modern jazz fan knew Esperanza Spalding long before this Sunday.

Technically she has 3 records plus she was the leader for Noise for Pretend back in the day, and the side-work as a bassist ...
But then didn't Blues Traveller have four albums out when they were nominated for best new artist?
Then again, the Bieb has rereleased the same batch of material 3 or 4 times now, so I guess nothing the Best New Artist award is tainted.

Like I have said numerous times, if the FBI and/or Canadian Mounties (Justin is Canadian) came and knocked on some of these "beliebers" front doors, they would stop faster than the late Dale Earnhardt, Sr. doing a lap at Daytona International Racetrack. Death threats are illegal and can land you in jail for 2 years or more.

click image to zoomCourtesy Top Brass MarketingTop Brass Marketing hasn't planted conventional russets for several years in Kern County because excess storage potatoes have made other varieties more profitable. The company re-entered the fingerling deal this year because of the growing popularity of the small spuds.Russets plantings are down in Kern County from 65% to 75%, depending on who you ask. Joe Nunez, farm adviser for the University of California-Davis Kern County Extension Office, confirmed the decrease is because the russet market is so bad.
"Very few russet potatoes were planted, but the reds, whites and yellows are at normal levels," Nunez said.
Belluomini described the russet plantings in Kern County as "almost nil" this season. He said the county probably only has about 25% of the russets compared to a normal year.
"It's because of the amount in storage," Belluomini said.
"We've been relegated pretty much to the specialty varieties in this region. We are being asked more and more for the smaller sizes — they used to be a byproduct, and now we are selling them and looking for varieties that grow smaller potatoes because demand is so high."
Other growers confirmed the trend in Kern County is toward smaller and specialty potatoes.
Top Brass Marketing, for example, is back in the fingerling deal this season after sitting out for a year. Company president Dixon said Top Brass did fingerlings for about six years but they didn't feel they had the correct varieties. Research during the 2012 season led them to a couple of different varieties that Dixon said are expected to sell well this season.
Top Brass hasn't planted conventional russets for more than a decade, said Dixon. The company does have organic russets in Kern County, but Dixon said he had heard the conventional russet plantings for 2013 are down about 65%.
Kundert Bros. specializes in fingerlings only, focusing on the big profits that the small potatoes provide, said Vergano.
"The banana fingerlings are still the most popular," she said. "The other colors switch around as far as demand goes, but they all sell well."
