Nope, freezing cold weather really is on its way, and with it comes some of our favorite fashion-related things: coats, sweaters and boots.

But we've got you covered! Click through to shop 16 pairs of statement-making earrings we sourced from our favorite Etsy vendors.

EVERYONE does gift guides around this time of year – apparently it's gift-giving season or something? – but what nobody does is actually cater to what we really really want. Because, obviously, as lesbians, all we want is vaginas. Lots of vaginas. In every form possible. OBVIOUSLY. Here's a list of vag-themed gifts you should definitely buy for everyone you know.
Okay, firstly because their tagline is "Love your Vagina, Love the Vaginas you meet, Foster understanding and appreciation of Vagina, Be happy with your Vagina ♀".
Secondly, because who could resist wanting to wear a vag around their neck?
ALTERNATIVELY this really pretty necklace that I would LOVE TO OWN
Unfortunately it looks like it's been sold and I'm crap at DIY (and I'm allergic to cats, I'm a terrible lesbian).
Edit: it's still available. Have at it.
2. The Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler
Slightly obvious, but if you/anyone hasn't read it, you/they should/might as well. Plus, a particular stunner to explain to your grandparents in front of that Christmas fireplace.
3. How about a classy I HEART VAG tank top?
Much better than all those "nobody knows I'm a lesbian" shirts.
4. If you're looking for something to really show the love/bring the classy, how about a vagina wedding dress?
I'm not actually sure where this is from, but let me know if you find out. I mean, nothing says I love you like giving someone a vagina wedding dress wearing this atrocity for your significant other.
5. A vagina pillow.
6. OR if you're more of an active type, go for the vagina bike
Again, I don't know where you would get this, but if you can't find it, make it. How hard could it be to make a gigantic, papier-mache vagina to ride around with on your bike? Answer: not hard enough.
7. Anatomically correct vagina cupcakes – from the Evil Cake Shop in Shoreditch.
I'm not sure if these ones are actually being done anymore, but if they are, have at it. I'm sure there are a number of TMC puns to be made here, about having your cake and eating it and all that, but I can't be bothered (feel free to send some in though, lovely to get those in our email).
8. A copy of Teeth – vag themed in the vaguest, slightly horrifying sense.
I mean, who doesn't want to think about a vagina growing teeth and biting off various bodily appendages?
9. A Georgia O'Keeffe print –
10. Or, if you're truly broke, make a CD/mix-tape/iTunes/Spotify playlist of vag-themed "music". May I suggest, to start you off, that classic track by God-des & She, as immortalized in The L Word? Press play only if you truly, truly hate your ears.
Obvs only for someone you truly detest/want to scare off. If you'd rather a more pleasant aural experience, I'd suggest something more along the lines of this:
Happy shopping!

Douay-Rheims (RHE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord, and I saw, and I fell upon my face, and I heard the voice of one that spoke, and he said to me: Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to thee. | 1 He said to me, "Son of man, stand up on your feet and I will speak to you." |
2 And the spirit entered into me after that he spoke to me, and he set me upon my feet: and I heard him speaking to me, | 2 As he spoke, the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet, and I heard him speaking to me. |
3 And saying: Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious people, that hath revolted from me, they, and their fathers, have transgressed my covenant even unto this day. | 3 He said: "Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me; they and their fathers have been in revolt against me to this very day. |
4 And they to whom I send thee are children of a hard face, and of an obstinate heart: and thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: | 4 The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and stubborn. Say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says.' |
5 If so be they at least will hear, and if so be they will forbear, for they are a provoking house: and they shall know that there hath been a prophet in the midst of them. | 5 And whether they listen or fail to listen--for they are a rebellious house--they will know that a prophet has been among them. |
6 And thou, O son of man, fear not, neither be thou afraid of their words: for thou art among unbelievers and destroyers, and thou dwellest with scorpions. Fear not their words, neither be thou dismayed at their looks: for they are a provoking house. | 6 And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or terrified by them, though they are a rebellious house. |

text: CONSERVATION DISTRICTSWith the Standard State Soil Conservation Districts Act of February 1937 the federal government strongly encouraged the states to pass laws providing for soil conservation in order to qualify for Soil Conservation Service (SCS) benefits. Accordingly on April 15 of that year Oklahoma's governor, E. W. Marland signed the Conservation District Enabling Act, authorizing the formation of conservation districts and the State Soil Conservation Committee. Further, the law required farmers to be involved in making conservation decisions. Thus the Soil Conservation Districts were born. Conservation districts and the secretary of agriculture signed a memorandum of understanding. SCS specialists transferred technology to farmers through the conservation districts. On January 28, 1938, the McIntosh Soil Conservation District was the first district to be organized. In November 1938 the Arkansas-Verdigris Conservation District (now Tulsa County Conservation District) and Garvin Soil Conservation District became the first districts to begin program operations. At the end of the twentieth century there were eighty-eight conservation districts serving seventy-seven counties. The districts' official designation was changed in 1961 from Soil Conservation Districts to Soil and Water Conservation Districts and in 1971 to simply Conservation Districts. Nolen J. Fuqua (Duncan), president of the first Soil Conservation District Supervisors Association (1939-46) also served as president of the National Association of Conservation Districts (1955-59). On April 28, 1945, the State Soil Conservation Board replaced the State Soil Conservation Committee when the headquarters was moved to Oklahoma City. In 1970 the State Conservation Board was changed to the Oklahoma Conservation Commission. Conservation Districts became sub-units of state government, partially funded by state appropriations to the five-member Oklahoma Conservation Commission. Five members serve on local district boards, with two members elected for two-year terms and three members elected for three-year terms. At the beginning of the twenty-first century districts involved themselves in a variety of natural-resource issues including soil and water conservation, flood control, urban and rural water quality projects, environmental education, and land reclamation.

Police are on the lookout for the the person or persons who torched more than a dozen campaign signs and American flags, and wrote "Obama for Life" on a veteran's yard.
Via Weasel Zippers,Click Orlando reported:
LAKE COUNTY, Fla. -
William Overbay said someone ignited the flags and signs, which supported Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, that he had lined along his yard. The vandals also painted a sign on his driveway reading "Obama for life," at his DuPont Circle home, Overbay said.
"To give that many years for my country and to see it desecrated in such a despicable way angers me," Overbay said. "We have freedom of speech and to desecrate any kind of signs is absolutely despicable and a violation of the constitution of the United States."
Overbay said he'll be replacing the destroyed signs and flags in time for the election.
In the Local 6 news broadcast, the anchor reported that "it happened again" referring to the spate of political vandalism the area's been experiencing.

OSCON 2009: Opening keynote focuses on open government
On July 22, O'Reilly founder and CEO Tim O'Reilly launched this year's OSCON conference with a challenge for open source advocates to get involved in the quest for open government.
O'Reilly expressed excitement about recent efforts of the Obama administration to promote open records and open source software as a means for ensuring equal access to information. In his opening keynote address, he briefed the OSCON crowd on the new Open Source for America advocacy group.
O'Reilly highlighted the need to think of government "...as a means for collective action." He added that the recent push for more openness in government has led to a big demand for experienced open source developers to volunteer their time and expertise. "Collective action means more than collective complaint....If you're interested, don't just lend your voices—lend your hands."
The open source in government theme continued through the first day, with presentations on election audits, "Hacking the Open Government," and "Bureaucrats, Technocrats, and Policy Cats: How the Government is Turning to Open Source and Why."
The open government theme reflects a growing interest throughout the US in finding ways to ensure that information compiled at government expense (and therefore owned by the people) is easily available to everyday citizens without usage fees, vendor lock-in issues, or license constraints.

Turkish authorities have reportedly foiled an assassination plot against U.S. President Barack Obama.
According to Turkish security sources, a Syrian national carrying a press credential for Al Jazeera Television was arrested last Friday. The man admitted plotting to stab Obama with a knife at the Alliance of Civilizations Summit in Istanbul on Tuesday.
The suspect, only identified as M.G., was arrested in Istanbul. He apparently has a home in Istanbul, but it is not clear if that is where he was arrested.
Al Jazeera's bureau chief in Ankara says the man's press credential is a forgery - he is not employed by their organization. The man has been regularly attending Middle East conferences and events held in Istanbul.
He reportedly told authorities that if he failed in his attempt to murder the President of the United States, three other accomplices would carry out the assassination.
Turkish authorities have passed on the initial results of their investigation to the United States Secret Service.

I apologize if this has been answered before, I took the time to search and was unable to find anything that seemed relevant. I have also had trouble figuring out the documentation.
Is there a way to select a specific grip within a dynamic block and then update its position?
Would some one be kind enough to share an example, or point me in the right direction?
This is what I am trying currently.
public void MoveGrip(Point3d gripPoint, Vector3d offset) { Document doc = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument; Database db = doc.Database; Transaction tr = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction(); using (tr) { BlockReference br = null; Entity ent = (Entity)tr.GetObject(_oBlockRefId, OpenMode.ForWrite); br = ent as BlockReference; if(br != null) { GripDataCollection grips = new GripDataCollection(); GripDataCollection updateGrip = new GripDataCollection(); double curViewUnitSize = 0; int gripSize = 0; Vector3d curViewDir = doc.Editor.GetCurrentView().ViewDirection; GetGripPointsFlags bitFlags = GetGripPointsFlags.GripPointsOnly; br.GetGripPoints(grips, curViewUnitSize, gripSize, curViewDir, bitFlags); foreach (GripData grip in grips) { if (grip.GripPoint == gripPoint) { updateGrip.Add(grip); } } br.MoveGripPointsAt(updateGrip, offset, MoveGripPointsFlags.Polar); } } }
Stepping through it, it looks like I do get a collection of points, and one does match with the position passed in.
What does not work is "MoveGripPointsAt", I have tried using the different enums available. No luck so far.
Just to clarify what I am trying to accomplish,
I have pipes that need to be streched and rotated to have their ends pined to a specified point.
I can manually select the polar grip and pin it to the point.
What I want is to avoid having to calculate the angles and strech values.
Some of the dynamic blocks have different property names, some rotations are offset, and some blocks are inverted.
Please any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Im being told its not possible to get a grip, and update its postition? I find it hard to believe.
Would really appreciate some some input.
Trying to find any information on GetGripData, and MoveGripPointsAt has been a huge pain.
I feel like It should not be this difficult.
This looks like its the only documentation out there, http://docs.autodesk.com/ACD/2010/ENU/AutoCAD%20.N

The Alexander McQueen 'Blackened Silver Skeleton Keychain' contributes to the brand's noted loyalty to skin and bones designs. Skulls have become almost synonymous with the upscale label, seen most frequently on its scarves, jewelry and backpacks.
This small piece is emblematic of the fashion powerhouse that is Alexander McQueen. The conjoined crossbone pieces are made of silver-hued brass, all of which are attached to a gaudy clasp near the top of the cranium. The 6" long dimensions make it appropriate for standard key sets. Those who invest in the Blackened Silver Skeleton Keychain will be anything but standard however as it will instead be of mass appeal to in vogue crowds and knowledge style enthusiasts.

MUMBAI: St Anthony's School in Chembur wore a festive look recently as students from various schools converged at the venue to attend the two-day literary fest organized by Writer's Bug in association with Times NIE.
According to the organizers Richa Sethi and Priya Rajve, "The aim of the fest was to expose children to good books and to promote the habit of reading. Today, we have many Indian authors but the awareness is very low. We wanted to provide a platform where children can interact with the authors."
The April 21-22 fest was a fun-filled event with workshops, musical storytelling session and so on. Participants were divided into different age groups, age appropriate events were held for each group. Authors like Deepak Dalal, who has penned travel tales with titles like Andaman, Ranthambore, etc termed it as a delightful experience. Author and illustrator Natasha Sharma used sound effects during her storytelling session.

In "Love Surrounds Us," a Tapestry of Faith program
In a Unitarian Universalist congregation, voting on issues and sharing opinions are integral to membership. You may have been involved in serious discussions at your congregation about important issues of finances or ministerial leadership. Think about how discussions and voting take place in your congregation. Have you felt heard and respected, even when you do not agree with a majority? How can you teach the children to make room for every voice? If you have felt unheard in your congregation, how can you keep negative feelings from interfering with your leadership of this session? Would you like to be better able to hear others' opinions when you disagree? How can you do that?
Now reflect on the children and how they might respond to the story and the activities. How can you help them understand the importance of having a say about the things that concern them? Relax and make yourself ready to help the children love others and feel loved.

World of Warcraft Patch 3.3.5 Patch Notes {WoW}
Jun 22nd 2010 5:07PM @Lars Petersson
But as asshats do get kicked, they will think twice about it. Also, you have four people in your group and at least the two others needed for a sucessful kick, to pool from, if you are on CD.
As a Tank that hates leeches or Unauthorized MD Hunter pulls, Pets on Aggressive or Rogues getting spotted for a nice wipe, I appreciate this ability.
One time we had to kick this guy because he was a self proclaimed Lvl 70 Twink, running MT in Sunwell on Heroric .. and decided to keep pulling the entire room when I was OOM, "Not a Twink" with three other, "Not a Twinks" caused two wipes, so we had to let him go. Only to get a hunter, that must have been soloing content or questing, with her pet on Aggressive, join us right when we are going for that big pull in the middle ... ouch!!
Couldn't kick, she wouldn't put her pet on Def or Passive and we had to wait until she left to continue. It was too dangerous otherwise.
Four manned after she left. It's not that the content was hard, it was a distraction fighting nine mobs at a time, when it should have been a steady chain pull.
15 tips for brand new healers {WoW}
Jun 9th 2010 7:14PM @lilliah
I thought she had some of the best advice. As situational as PuGs can be, sometimes it is the only way DPS will learn not to cause their own deaths. I tank and heal and occassionly dps, but when I see I have aggro or I'm standing in poo I do something about it. Depending on the level of content you're playing, DPS will make mistakes and not correct themselves when asked.
1. Firing at any target the tank is not.
2. Opening up with AoE before threat is established.
3. Pulling the next mob in an effort to keep thongs rolling ( see number one).
Standing in void and expecting the healer to compensate or move them up on the priority list when they are three or lower.
I will teach the damage vocally then I will teach them by putting them on bottom priority. Then I will not top them off for the next pulls. If they don't change their behavior, they will die. It's a game (they're not really dead).
This is my moto as a tank/healer/damage...
If the Tank dies, it's the Healer's fault. If the Healer dies, it's the Tank's fault. If the DdPS dies, it's their own damn fault.
15 tips for brand new healers {WoW}
Jun 9th 2010 6:20PM I was happy to rate you down. So far, the advice has been spot on until I got to your post.
I would just add, go to wowwiki.com and search your class/role and everything you've ever wanted to know about stats and gems and bread & butter spells is laid out there. I recommend this for leveling healers as well as role switchers.
Breakfast Topic: Dealing with unpleasant players {WoW}
Jun 8th 2010 3:09PM @ kittens
exatly what my healer and (tank) do. We have leveled up exclusively through the LFG and spent 30 days at lvl 70 working on all content in BC.
Everytime we group with a gogogo or a mouthy Elite's BoA wearing ALT we warn him to behave, or we will not let him get heals or Rez. Personally, I find four manning more challenging and have had to do that in BC herorics on more than half of our runs, due to someone that thought we " need" 3 DPS. Guess what, as overgeared as we are, it's more fun with four.
My healer and I like noobs because we like to show people the ropes. We like to chat in our runs and we aren't here for two emblems of frost, we are here to play a dungeon for the fun of it. Not because we need gear.
We have found in BC herorics we have been grouped with the same people a lot because we run late and only que for herorics. When we come across the same bad players again, they have a different mindset or they immediately drop group.
That's the advantage to having a healer tank team as you level. Our secret is, we have always turned off XP every couple of levels so we stay in the same content for ransoms.

Last season on The Voice Cee Lo Green had his borrowed cat Purrfect who joined Cee Lo occasionally on the show and who Blake Shelton admitted he couldn't stand.
Well now it appears that Purrfect has been replaced by a pretty pink cockatoo named Lady who will be accompanying Cee Lo on the show for its 3rd season.
Wonder how Blake feels about birds?
Cee Lo says about his pretty pet, "Lady's name says it all. She's my little lady with a big opinion. Sometimes whispers inappropriateness in my ear, but always ladylike."
Fans will be able to see Cee Lo, Lady, Blake, Christina, and Adam when The Voice premieres this fall.
Just like Purrfect, you can follow Lady on Twitter at @CeeLosLady.

Obama says no new gas tax, use tolls
Posted By Tina Grady Barbaccia On July 26, 2010 @ 9:32 am In Economics,News & Analysis | No Comments
Instead of raising the gas tax, which has not been raised in at least a decade, President Barack Obama says highway funding needs to come from tolls.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said a combination of current-level gas tax receipts, road and bridge tolling and President Obama's proposed infrastructure fund could offer a way to fund a long-term federal infrastructure program without new taxes, the Journal of Commerce Online reports.
Appearing before a heavily attended conference in Washington, D.C., of the American Road and Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA), LaHood vowed "raising the gas tax is not an option" to increase money available for federal transport spending, according
to the report.
LaHood argues that the with the current inefficient funding level for the Highway Trust Fund (HTF), tolling is a solution to the deficient. According to the Journal of Commerce report, "tolling can raise a lot of money."

I started windsurfing in 1985 in my home place in Aegina and my first competitions were in 1990. Since then I never stopped competing in national and international events. I've taken part in PBA-PWA events back in 90's, in EuroCup events in formula, in World and European championships in slalom and formula, in speed events. Lot's of fun for many years. I've won 5 national championships in slalom and formula and I had good results also in international events.
End of last year I decided to start my own business in windsurfing. Having the opportunity to suggest to my customers products with top materials, great design and make them feel that we are in the same side, is a must for me.
I think it took about 3 minutes on phone with Josh Angulo for me to make up my mind… same spirit, same attitude, same plans, same dreams…. So here we go!
Already distributing Point7 and now Angulo Windsurfing boards makes it easy for me. Collaborating with windsurfers like Josh Angulo, Andrea Cucchi, Pieter Bijl and Dennis Boisen for giving the best and most high quality solutions to windsurfers is the best way.

Panko is a Japanese type of bread crumb that is especially light and crunchy, popular these days with chefs because it doesn't get soggy. What I love about this way of preparing salmon is that the panko topping seems to hold in the salmon's moisture while roasting, so the salmon doesn't get dried out at all. The salmon is perfectly moist, flakey, and seasoned.
Panko-crusted Salmon Recipe
- 4 teaspoons olive oil
- 4 pieces thickly cut, boneless salmon (each 6 oz)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 Tbsp honey mustard or sweet-hot mustard
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
- 2/3 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 Tbsp chopped Italian parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon Hungarian sweet paprika
1 Preheat the oven to 400°F (convection or regular). Set the salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet skin side down. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
2 In a small bowl, combine the honey mustard and 1 teaspoon of the thyme. In another small bowl, mix the panko with the remaining 1 teaspoon of thyme, 4 teaspoons of olive oil, parsley, and paprika. Add salt and pepper (a light sprinkle).
3 Using a small spoon, spread the mustard mixture on the salmon; top with the bread crumb mixture.
4 Roast the salmon for 12-14 minutes (test at 10) or until it is almost completely firm to the touch and flakes when poked with a fork. Serve at once.

Laura Merage is an accomplished photo-based artist whose work I've reviewed a few times during the past decade. Her photos and photo-based pieces are supremely elegant and extremely sophisticated, as is she. More relevant to my story this week, however, is her other career, as a generous philanthropist with a spiritual and financial interest in the fine arts in Denver.
A couple of years ago, Merage began to fantasize about creating what she calls an "art incubator" and an "urban laboratory." The goal would be to stimulate both emerging and established artists by providing them with state-of-the-art studio space and by putting on "challenging" exhibitions. She dubbed the non-profit enterprise RedLine to convey the idea that artists could cross the line to success with the help of a support system — namely, studio space that is partly or wholly subsidized. It's a practical and pragmatic approach, and one of the things that make Merage's idea so exciting is that she's put her money where her mouth is.
The first step was to secure a location for her dream factory, and she opted to purchase an existing building rather than construct a new one, like MCA Denver did. Merage found a mundane-looking 1970s concrete-block warehouse formerly used by a vacuum cleaner parts distributor. Although the location was in Curtis Park, just outside the downtown business core, it wasn't an obvious choice for a cultural institution since the neighborhood is somewhat edgy and run-down. In fact, she told me that her husband, David, thought she was out of her mind to be buying there. But Merage turned out to be prescient about the neighborhood's possibilities, and it has since come up considerably in the world, with lots of new construction over the past few years.
To move the project forward and to make a splash, Merage brought on the well-respected Denver architectural firm Semple Brown Design, with a team headed by Bryan Schmidt. The transformation of the plain-Jane structure has been remarkable under his leadership. Schmidt has added visual interest to what was originally a design-free box by appending flat rectangular boxes clad in wavy metal shingles that wrap around the corner facing the intersection of Arapahoe and 24th streets. Though these flat boxes don't add any space to the inside, they do help to visually break up the basic shape of the building by suggesting a more complicated volumetric configuration than actually exists. On the other side of the Arapahoe Street facade, Schmidt added vertical metal fins, and they serve in the same way, breaking the box in our mind's eyes, if not in reality.
One aspect of the exterior that I didn't think I'd like is the mural by resident artist and RedLine boardmember Tom Guiton. It's not that I have anything against Guiton; it's just that I tend not to like outdoor murals. In fact, I tend to hate them. (When city officials inappropriately annihilated some of these wall paintings in preparation for the Democratic National Convention, I thought it was terrible in principle, but no great loss in practice.) But I have to say that Guiton's mural, which was carried out by an army of volunteers, is lots better than most; even more astounding is that it doesn't spoil the appearance of the building at all, which is my chief complaint about outdoor murals. The handsome landscaping, done with dry-land plants that were also planted by volunteers, was designed by Mark Meadows, who likewise volunteered his time.
If the outside of RedLine is good, the inside is even better and indicates that the place could become a major cultural player, not only as a spot for artist studios or as a meeting hall, but because the enormous gallery space is so fabulous. At this point, however, RedLine is considering an intermittent schedule, and that's too bad, because regular changing displays would be the easiest way to get people to come back again and again. But RedLine is still defining itself, so I wouldn't be surprised to see Merage come to this same conclusion once the hubbub of the October opening subsides. At least I hope so.
Right inside the front door is the swank-looking reception area, with a lobby populated by chic and comfortable-looking furniture and a built-in information desk. This area was adjacent to the old loading dock, and the overhead panel doors were replaced with glass ones, creating a well-lighted interior. On the wall behind the desk, and on a parallel wall around the corner, old wooden planks that were recycled from a disassembled mezzanine are used as paneling. This was an idea Merage herself pushed, and the bourbon-colored patina adds a visual richness to the spaces.
Beyond is a handsome library, still being stocked with books and magazines, and around the corner is an unbelievably capacious community room that could easily do double duty as an adjunct gallery. Straight ahead is a spectacular exhibition space surrounded by studios that I'll get to in a minute.
The studios are populated by two categories of artists. The first group, called "Visiting Artists," includes Merage, Guiton and three very well-known Denver artists: Margaret Neumann, Clark Richert and Bruce Price. These "Visiting Artists" have free studio space and are expected to mentor other artists at RedLine as well as students who use the facility. The other group, "Resident Artists," have spaces with nominal rent; they had to apply for the privilege and be vetted by a selection committee. Respected local artists Virginia Folkestad, Bob Koons, Viviane Le Courtois, Steven Read and Jonathan Saiz are included in this group, along with nine others.

Congrats to our Creative headset winners {WoW}
Dec 4th 2009 5:45PM Hey Mike, doesn't more than five (5) screenshots constitute making multiple entries?
You said, "The winning guild did send us a screenshot with the relic included, but they sent us a few screenshots of each place (the guildleader wanted to be cautious and make sure he had done it right), and this one was the better picture."
The rules said, "Entries consist of five (5) screenshots of different areas of the WoW game as defined by the riddles on the post. Limit one (1) entry per 25-man group. Only entries with the correct screenshots will be included in the random drawing."
Going by your statement and referencing the rules, it sounds like the winning guild made more than one entry.
Congrats to our Creative headset winners {WoW}
Dec 4th 2009 12:07PM On closer look, the WG screenshot (the one without the answer to the riddle present) may be the closest they get to having 25 bodies in any of the screenshots.
Congrats to our Creative headset winners {WoW}
Dec 4th 2009 11:47AM Is there a reason WoW.com chose winners that didn't meet the contest requirements?
They have 15 (being generous here) in their Thunderfall screenshot. Directly from the rules: "What your guild/raid will need to do is a) get your guild or raid together, all 25 members. And then b) go and find all the places and take screenshots of your guild there..."
Their Wintergrasp screenshot is missing the actual answer to the riddle, which would be the relic that doesn't appear behind them. Would screenshots in Netherstorm have counted for the NOVA riddle? I mean, hey, it's close enough to the riddle answer, who cares that it's not actually by the shrine.

Tom BurfieldApples were one of the top fruit items in the Los Angeles market in terms of sales and volume, according to the Fresh Produce & Floral Council's FPFC Market Report.Business is up in the Los Angeles market in retail dollars and retail volume, but the region lags behind other areas of California in terms of retail dollars, according to the FPFC Market Report from the La Mirada, Calif.-based Fresh Produce & Floral Council.
The latest quarterly report was released in June and contained data through the week of March 24.
Total produce in the Los Angeles market grew 4% in retail dollars and 8% in retail volume during the latest 52-week period.

In the organic category, dollar share for the 52-week period increased to 3.9% of the fruit category, up from 3.1% for the previous period. Dollar share for the 52-week period increased to 6.4% of the vegetable category, up from 4.8% for the previous period.
"There was a slight shift to organic in the current year, with fruits growing 0.8 points to 3.9%, and vegetables growing 1.6 points to 6.4%," the report said.
Additional notes from the report:
- For the current 52-week timeframe, average total produce selling price was $1.29 per pound, which was 4% lower than the previous year;

Enter Rao's Hollywood, the Tinseltown outpost of New York's legendary Southern Neapolitan restaurant and mob hangout where you might just have to shake someone down to score a table.
Unlike the tiny, 10-table Harlem location — particularly beloved by politicians, celebrities, and those in the waste-management industry — the indoor-outdoor Hollywood digs are large and in charge with 95 seats.
If you're lucky enough to get made make a reservation, you and your outfit can look forward to classic Rao's fare including the signature meatballs, Uncle Vincent's lemon chicken and steak pizzaiola.
You'll also find market-driven specials specific to the Hollywood ristorante from Executive Chef Nicole Grimes, the don of the kitchen at Rao's Caesars Palace and a James Beard Award nominee.
Just remember: It's "ray-ohs."
And don't complain about the music, wiseguy.

End of Moore's Law Forcing Radical Innovation
Soulskill posted 1 year,17 days | from the how-many-transistors-can-dance-on-the-head-of-a-pin dept.
275dcblogs writes "The technology industry has been coasting along on steady, predictable performance gains, as laid out by Moore's law. But stability and predictability are also the ingredients of complacency and inertia. At this stage, Moore's Law may be more analogous to golden handcuffs than to innovation. With its end in sight, systems makers and governments are being challenged to come up with new materials and architectures. The European Commission has written of a need for 'radical innovation in many computing technologies.' The U.S. National Science Foundation, in a recent budget request, said technologies such as carbon nanotube digital circuits will likely be needed, or perhaps molecular-based approaches, including biologically inspired systems. The slowdown in Moore's Law has already hit high-performance computing. Marc Snir, director of the Mathematics and Computer Science Division at the Argonne National Laboratory, outlined in a series of slides the problem of going below 7nm on chips, and the lack of alternative technologies."

It was on this day that the submarine case for my Fisheye One was not closed properly. I only noticed this about half way through the roll. The shutter now sticks, resulting in some very blurry photographs. I have used the camera since, but all but 2 shots out of a roll of 24 were totally blurry. I may take it apart and see what I can do to clean off any internal rust from the flood of saltwater. At least I have the Fisheye 2 still.
This photo was shot on film. Taken by deepfried_goodness with a Lomography Fisheye One White (available in our Online Shop) loaded with Lomography Color Negative 400 (35mm) film (available in our Online Shop) in No city is close by, Malta.

Embrace SHOULD be rated as much higher than the Egg. Both have the same "Equip" Spell Power amount but the Embrace has it's Haste proc off of EVERY spell cast, offensive or healing. Egg's Haste proc only goes off of Healing spells.
I cast Judgement, Sacred Shield, Beacon of Light, Divine Illumination, Divine Favor and Divine Plea all in combat (plus damage dealing spells depending on how hard the encounter is. On Thaddius and Loebeth, I cast a LOT of damage dealing spells). None of these spells can proc the Egg haste. All of them can proc the Embrace haste.
It is a MUCH more desirable trinket if you are only comparing those two.

My hot tub calls for a 40 amp circuit. I want to install a 50 amp circuit. I want to know if 8 awg THHN is the proper size wire? I know I will need 4 of them, but do I need to buy a green, a white, and two black? Or can I buy it all in black and just recode them with colored electrical tape? I would like to know if the ground can be of a lesser gauge? How do I determine the proper size and type of conduit to use? Thanks for the anticipated help! |

#8 copper will be fine as long as we're not talking some rediculously long run, but if the tub is outside you need a wet rated conductor like THWN. Most of the stuff you find marked THHN is also marked THWN but check to be sure before you buy. You need to look at the installation instructions for your hot tub. You may not need the neutral wire. My spa for example doesn't require it. Just ground and two hots. You can not just remark #8, you need to use the white (if you need the neutral) and green wires. You can't use a bare ground in this situation either. You do know you need a GFCI as well? And a maintenance disconnect. This is usually cheaply done by getting a disconnect/GFCI breaker box called a "Spa Pack" which will run about $100 at the home centers. The size and rating of the conduit depends on a number of factors like is it going to be exposed to sunlight, etc.... One you select an appropriate conduit type, tables in the code tell you how big it needs to be (again depending on whether you are running three or four conductors). Sizing up a little bit may make pulling a little easier. Yes, you can go with #10 (copper) ground in this case. It would behoove you to read ART 680 of the electrical code before wiring up a body of water you're going to put your loved ones in. |

Thanks Ronnatalie! The run is between 80-100 feet. It will be exposed to the weather. It will be run under the eave of the house. Thanks for the reference to ART 680. I will start reading it tonight. |

Heh, heh... Well, I got some good recommendations from folks on the Gold Wing boards. Mrs. PJ and I picked up a Harley Road King, went north on US395 to SR70, west into California to SR 89, stopped for lunch in Truckee, then on down the west side of Lake Tahoe, around the south end and back on US50 through Carson City to Reno. It was a great ride. The weather was nice, traffic was light, and the bike was fine (except that that seat is not what I would call "comfy" after the first hour). |

What Does CDC's New Data About Sexual Assault Reveal?
The Centers For Disease Control released its National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey yesterday and the findings throw a fork in many common perceptions surrounding sexual assault and its victims. Contrary to the stereotype that a rape victim is "some slut in a bar," the demographics found to be at the highest risk for sexual assault were preteen boys and adolescent girls. Keep reading »
Doin' It With Dr. V: How To Tell Someone They Need To Get Tested For STDs
Hi, I'm Dr. V. I'm not a real doctor, I just play one on the Internet. What I am is a lady, a lady who is a fool for love! And I love nothing more than sex. My deepest desires have happily led me on many adventures in the sack, but they have also, sadly, made me one of my gyno's most valuable players. But I've lived to tell the tale(s)! So, from time to time, I will dish the dirt on everything from getting freaky to getting freaked out. Now, let's get this party started…
This week, I got an alarming phone call. My most recent ex-boyfriend went to get tested like a sensible young man and I'm so proud of him — but I'm sorry he had to call me with his results. While it wasn't good news, I'm truly grateful he talked to me about it openly. Sex is dirty, and sometimes you can't totally clean up the mess, but you can always take measures to stop it from spreading! I know my ex was not so thrilled to have to call me to tell me to get tested too, however, it made me realize why I was with him in the first place. He's respectable and responsible for divulging what he knows with me, for better or for worse. Although it can be a tearful inspiration, I'd like to dedicate this installment of Dr. V to all the men and women, like my ex-boyfriend out there, who are brave enough to pick up the phone and show someone they still care by telling them the truth about their health and the risks they shared. According to the CDC, who just this week reported 19 million cases of STDs in 2007, there are a lot of people who need to make a similar confession. So, here's how you do it, as pain-free as possible.

CDC Releases Latest STD Statistics
Yikes — 19 million STD infections occur each year according to the Center for Disease Control's NEW report this week. The numbers from 2007 are in and the stats are a total bummer. Gonorrhea and chlamydia, the most common STDs, recorded the largest number of known cases to date, 1.5 million according to the most recent assessment. However, the government agency thinks that's a low estimate, and suspect that there are actually twice as many people who are carrying the infections. Agh! Unfortunately, the infections often go undiagnosed because they can be asymptomatic. While gonorrhea and chlamydia frequently come together in one big STD package, they are both cured with antibiotics. However, if someone isn't a responsible sexy time partner and doesn't get tested regularly, the diseases can wreak havoc and even do things jeopardize your ability to get pregnant. Since young women, age 15-34, are in the highest risk categories, it's essential that we take care of our business! Go visit the gyno and let them smear your pap, why dontcha?! [CDC] Keep reading »

SpaFinder Releases 2011 Global Spa Trends to Watch Report With Exclusive Commentary From SpaFinder President Susie Ellis
Posted: December 3, 2010
page 9 of 12
It's just as important to be transparent about which spa treatments do not have as much research behind them. The model should be having your staff learn to be comfortable with saying:"There haven't been any clinical trials on this yet; however, we are hearing that a lot of people are sleeping better after experiencing this treatment."
Look for the launch from the Global Spa Summit of an "Evidence Based Database for Spa Modalities" to be accessible by summer 2011. This will be an ever-growing resource that will help the spa and wellness industries access the evidence that so much of what they do works … leading to more—and more loyal—customers.
7. Hyper-local Spas
A current trend that complements—rather than countervails—the move toward branded spas is the desire for authenticity and immersion in the traditions and elements of a spa's local environs and culture. A maple scrub in Canada, organic food from the spa garden, or facilities built of local stone, while not new, were, until relatively recently, novelties.
But spas are now trending with the "farm-to-table" movement, offering farm-to-massage-table treatments. Locally sourced fruits, herbs and honey are grown on site, and then dished up in both meals and in spa treatments. Even the well-known branded spas are sure to reserve a portion of their services for locally infused treatments, as consumers look to take advantage of the diversity of their surroundings.
Think: Hay Barn Spa (Cotswolds, UK); Hotel de la Paix (Siem Reap, Cambodia); and The Farmhouse Inn & Spa (California, U.S.). SEE MORE EXAMPLES

With this modifier, you can project your object into either a box, a cylinder or a sphere.
In box mode, you will have ability to modify the width, length and height.
In cylinder mode, you can change the radius, the height and the direction.
In Sphere mode, you can only change the radius.
There is also a global parameter in percentage that control the overall deformation effect.
It's an extended box primitive that adds two options to keep the same value on the three axis : -Lock size -Lock subdivision
This scripted plug-in was wanted in the forum. It simply unifies the gizmo of instanced modifiers.
This is a great tentacle rig written by Felix Joleanes. The only issue I have with it is that It would be nice if the sin wave worked on more that one axis, ex: x,y,z If anyone could help me figure out how to make this adjustment to this script that would be awesome! Either way it is a powerful script for using bones to rig a tentacle. I am planning to use a blend bone between this wave rig by Felix and an Ik system. If anyone could help me out that would be GREAT! -Enjoy
This scripted plug-in normalizes a spline by number of segments instead of the segments length. With options to show the vertex ticks, to close the splines, and optimize by deleting points relative to an angle threshold.
A scripted-plugin primitive to create obelisks. Put the file in MaxRoot\Scripts\StartUp and run Max. You may find the new object under "Extended Primitives" tab
This scripted plug-in was wanted in the forum. It is like the original push modifier but with the option "Straighten Corners" of the shell modifier. You can "push in" and "push out". -- Update V1.4a --
With this scripted plug-in, you can create cylinders with quad topology on the cap. That is often usefull when you apply a subdivision like MeshSmooth or TurboSmooth. And the parameters are animatable.

[301] The Predictive Value of P53 Expression to Anthracycline-Based Neo-Adjuvant Therapy in Triple Negative Breast Cancer Patients
Jian T Yang, Cheng Z Liu, William Dooley, Ronald Squires, Elizabeth Jett, Jeanene Parker. OUHSC, Oklahoma City, OK
Background: Triple negative breast carcinoma (TNBC) is an aggressive tumor without expression of estrogen/progesterone receptors and Her2/Neu. Anthrathycline-based neoadjuvant therapy (ABNT) is routinely used in high stage TNBC patients. It is effective in some patients but has serious toxicity. Previously we have found that the extent of response to ABNT in TNBC patients can be categorized into three groups. complete pathologic response (cPR), no response, and partial response. The aim of this study is to assess the predictive value of p53 expression in these distinct responding groups of TNBC patients. Predictive marker study would help for the patient selection for this regimen.
Design: Total 74 TNBC cases are included. 40 are no response/nearly no response cases (tumor reduced <20% of the original size and without marked treatment cytological changes) and 34 are cPR/nearly cPR cases (Microscopically scattered small tumor nests with marked therapeutic degenerative changes). Anti-p53(Bp53-11) immunohistochemical stain is performed using Ventana on formalin fixed paraffin-embedded tissues with appropriate positive and negative controls. The staining results show essentially biphasic distribution and are categorized as positive (diffusely strong stain), negative (no stain or weak stain in less than 50% of tumor cells), and intermediate. The data were assessed by chi-square for statistical significance.
Results: In 40 no response/nearly no response cases, 27 are negative (67.5%) for p53 expression; 11 positive (27.5%); and 2 intermediate (5%). In 34 cPR/nearly cPR cases, 9 are negative (26.5%) for p53 expression, 24 positive (70.5%), and 1 intermediate (3%). For the predictive value of p53 expression to ABNT, the sensitivity is 72% and specificity 71%. The positive predictive value is 69% and negative predictive value 75%. Chi-Square P = 0.0009, <0.001, extremely significant.
Conclusions: The results show that p53 expression is significantly associated with response to ABNT in TNBC patients. Positive p53 expression is in significantly higher numbers of cPR/nearly cPR patients and negative p53 expression is in significant higher numbers of no response/nearly no response patients. The data bank for the study will be expanded to get more statistical power and the mechanism of p53 expression to response to ABNT needs to be further investigated. Other predictive markers also need to be explored.

The Boat that Rocket
Premiere May 29th
In the 60s the British government tried with all its might to keep the ears of its citizens pristine by banning rock 'n' roll from the airwaves. Luckily for listeners, pirate radio stations on boats anchored off the UK coast popped up. Thanks to a legal loophole, the seas being out of gov't reach, the stations were able to keep the music playing. From the director of cheery romantic comedies like Notting Hill comes the tale of a renegade North Sea station. Rhys Ifans not only shows how to properly 'work' a crushed velvet suit, but sports a sultry on-air voice as one of the DJs. Kenneth Branagh plays an uptight official trying to shut the operation down. Philip Seymour Hoffman – the lone American on set – holds his own against the Brit players as a garish DJ who gets off annoying authority.
