Fugging Around
At 86, blind and housebound, Fugs frontman Tuli Kupferberg is still dispensing crass words of wisdom
In 1965, two beat poets on New York's Lower East Side, Tuli Kupferberg and Ed Sanders, put together a band called the Fugs. (The name is a euphemism that means what it sounds like and was borrowed from Norman Mailer's novel The Naked and the Dead.) The Fugs have been recording and performing irreverent rants about sex, drugs, and war since then, often with Kupferberg delivering deadpan lyrics in what the New York Times recently described as his "rabbinical monotone." The group's latest album, Be Free, comes out this week, though Kupferberg has been confined to his home since the fall, after two strokes left him virtually blind. He continues to make himself heard by way of daily dispatches, which he calls "perverbs," posted on YouTube. He doesn't consider himself religious, but his songs, poems, and missives are steeped in the Yiddish culture he grew up in. Reporter Jon Kalish profiled the performer—who, be warned, uses some explicit language. [Running time: 11:25.]

Last year, my family built a greenhouse without heat. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough for the entire house including the endwall. We were 1 4x8 door short. We had some 3mil contruction plastic, so we used it.
After 1 full year of use, with record heat, the door will need re-plasticed but the rest of the house is in good shape, even with several cats climbing all over it. This plastic was several years old, but wasn't out in the sun. Just thought I would post our experiences. |

I agree greenhouse film is much better than plastic. |

I've been peeking in now and then during the market season, not much time to follow-up on anything then as you all know. My first GH was put up in 1998 (GH film 2 layers 50'x100' folded in half), sold that farm in 2004 and moved the GH with us to our new farm, put new GH film (2 layer) on then. Sure seems to me the GH film was much better quality back in 98, now it's just like everything else, cheaper made. This was the same kind/brand of GH film both times. This same GH was moved to a new location on our farm (closer to the house) and reused the same GH film that was on it. To this day that same GH film is still in pretty good shape. I would never use construction plastic, GH film is worth the money. DEB |

We started out on a wore-out shoe-string, so we did use the construction plastic on our first, home-made (from scrap lumber) greenhouse. That plastic was double layered (not inflated) and lasted 2 seasons and almost 3, then fell apart. We have been lucky enough to have an professional house now and was GIVEN actual film, just enough to cover everything EXCEPT 1 door. We made 'do' for that last door, and will need to replace the plastic on that door. |

Every year since then, the store has seen sales go up, he said.
"People are more comfortable doing the full shop now," he said, noting that produce sales account for $5.7 million of the store's $34 million in yearly sales.
At Kowalski's Markets, a nine-store retail chain based in Woodbury, Minn., the economy has not been a major problem for at least 18 months, said Tim Fortier, produce manager.
"Sure, we felt it in 2010 and 2011, but I think it's gotten better," he said.
"It sounds arrogant to say it, but I don't see us being affected by the economy."
For Maple Grove, Minn.-based Chandler-Topic. Inc., the high cost of fuel continues to be a drag on growth, said Tim Grace, spokesman.
That translates into higher prices for consumers, he said.
"But, people are still buying it," he said.
Things are better than they had been but there still is room for improvement, said Tom Bergin Jr., vice president of Bergin Fruit & Nut Co. in St. Paul.
"I was thinking it was looking rosy last fall. Now, I think it's better but not as strong as what I was hoping for," he said.
"Maybe it's safer that we're slowly coming out rather than jumping out fast."

Gay marriage controversy draws hundreds to Orland Park Chick-fil-A
BY CASEY TONER firstname.lastname@example.com August 1, 2012 12:06PM
Article Extras
Updated: September 3, 2012 1:16PM
Hundreds and hundreds of people coming from miles around descended Wednesday on the Orland Park Chick-fil-A restaurant to make a mass political statement supporting traditional marriage and free speech — by buying chicken sandwiches and waffle fries.
Traffic was backed up on LaGrange Road from before noon until well into the evening as cars spilled into the parking lots of neighboring businesses, and the line of customers — some of whom ordered sandwiches by the dozens — snaked around the building for hours.
The scene was repeated in varying degrees at Chick-fil-A's nationwide, in reaction to widespread criticism of the chicken chain's president for expressing its stance against gay marriage.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Baptist minister, had declared Wednesday national "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day" after Dan Cathy, the company president, was lambasted for telling the Baptist Press last month that the Atlanta-based company was "guilty as charged" in backing "the biblical definition" of a family.
Gay rights groups and others, including Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Ald. Joe Moreno (1st), called for boycotts and efforts to block the chain from opening new stores.
Some who showed up Wednesday at the Orland Park store, 15605 S. LaGrange Road, were unhappy with politicians for butting into Chick-fil-A's business over an opinion protected as free speech. Others wanted to air their beliefs that marriage should be between a man and a woman.
The latter was the case for a busload of about 30 people from the First Baptist Church in Bourbonnais, which arrived shortly after noon.
Surveying the crowd, Pastor Terry Angela said, "It's a statement. It's a great statement that the average American, the bulk of the population ... they believe in the biblical definition of marriage. It's proven today and it's proven at the ballot box."
Troy O'Quin, the pastor of River Oaks Community Church in South Holland, also brought about 40 people to the restaurant after preaching Sunday about the Chick-fil-A controversy.
"They're going to break every record for one-day sales," O'Quin said.
The line started getting long just before 11 a.m. As more people arrived, a news helicopter circled overhead and the crowd erupted into applause.
Melissa Watson, of Midlothian, stopped by with her 7-month-old boy Matthew to pick up 25 sandwiches and 25 orders of waffle fries for her husband Larry's auto shop in Chicago, Art's Auto Rebuilders. She had heard about the "appreciation day" through Huckabee.
"I hope they make tons of money. It's time we make a statement," Watson said. "People can't control what we believe."
The crowd cheered when Chick-fil-A workers unloaded bright white boxes stamped with the company's logo into the car of Laurel Schaap, who bought 64 sandwiches for employees at the Ozinga Brothers office in Mokena.
"When the gay movement marches in the streets and are vocal, it's their right," Schaap said. "It's our right to vote with our wallets."
Don Lontz, of Lansing, who brought his wife Pat and his granddaughter Kelly Lewandowski to the restaurant, said, "I'd like to know what someone might have said if the Chick-fil-A owner was Muslim. Muslims don't believe in gay marriage, either.
"The guy, Moreno, and the 'tiny dancer' mayor can't tell us what we have to believe."
Worth resident Rebecca Harder brought her six girls to the restaurant for lunch. Rebecca and her children Abigail, 9; Grace, 7; Naomi, 6; Sophia, 4; Micaela, 20 months; and Joella, 5 months; wore homemade "We love and support Chick-fil-A" T-shirts.
Orland Hills resident Sue Polewski waited in the drive-through line in her sports car, blasting Bruce Springsteen's anguished 1980s anthem, "Born in the USA."
"I believe marriage is between a man and a woman," Polewski said. "How else can we keep the Earth going? We can't be extinct like the dinosaurs. Everyone has the right to their opinion, and I'm hungry."
The line was such that Cassie Dignan, the marketing director of the Orland Park Chick-fil-A, was passing out water as people waited in the heat. She noted that Chick-fil-A did not sponsor the event, that word had spread through the media, both social and traditional.
The line just kept growing, and police used bright orange cones to snake it through the parking lot, which soon was empty of cars as police directed them elsewhere for the safety of those standing and waiting.
"We were expecting a crowd, but not this big," Dignan said. "We're doing this with a smile on our face, and we're doing the best we can. We're here to serve chicken and treat people with honor, dignity and respect."
As of 8:30 p.m., Orland Park police said there had been no problems at the restaurant.
Chick-fil-A was known for its conservative stances long before Cathy's comments. It is closed on Sundays, ostensibly because it puts faith ahead of profits.
Opponents of the company's marriage stance are planning "Kiss Mor Chiks" for Friday, when they are encouraging people of the same sex to show up at Chick-fil-A's around the country and kiss each other.
"They're going to be kissing each other and it's disgusting," Diana Malinowksi said while waiting in the drive-through.

We are building a house and for the first time get to select all appliances. I was totally excited by this but the process has been totally overwhelming! I could easily spend crazy $$ getting exactly what I want, but do have a budget. My questions are regarding: 1. Ranges - I think we'll just go for the current Thermador package and buy the range and get a dw, but upgrade the dw. The gas cooktop we'll use everyday and need to be able boil water quickly and stir fry. If people have a second oven, do you usually go for a DF range or save money and go with all gas? FYI I saw a Bertazonni heritage range and am in love with the looks, but seemed that it could be difficult to clean if there is some spillage. If anyone has experience or thoughts on Thermador vs. Bertazonni, would love to hear it. Thought about a Wolf range, but I think Thermador should be fine for us and cheaper. 2. Refrigerators - totally unsure what to do here. We have a large family and consume a lot of fresh produce- I'd like to only stock up twice a week at most. In my dream kitchen I'd get separate fridge and freezer builtin columns, but there goes the budget again. So now I am back to a 36 or 42 inch model, no preference on in door water but do need ice. We can probably recess the wall to get a standard depth fridge to fit, but I actually prefer the more shallow ones so we aren't fishing through the fridge - we waste a ton of food just because we can't see it right now! |
Follow-Up Postings:
1st what is your budget or what is the price of the complete Thermador package? What size range or cooktop are you looking at? |
- Posted by courtney1000 (My Page) on Sat, Jul 13, 13 at 8:42
Our budget for everything but the fridge is 10-12k, and if we can get a great fridge for 3-4k instead of 10-12k, fantastic. To be more clear, here is what I am thinking: 36 inch 6 burner gas or duel fuel range Separate wall oven Either sharp drawer microwave or micro with wall oven Hood insert Dishwasher Fridge- hoping for 28-29 cu ft in one counter depth or built in fridge, or a smaller one that is highly functional. Not opposed to a separate fridge drawer, but thinking that would add cost and take up space Had not really thought about warming drawers, steam ovens, or speed ovens- thinking ill do just fine without and we are limited on space- it is an open floor plan and I don't want to be looking at tons of appliances all the time! |
- Posted by nycbluedevil (My Page) on Sat, Jul 13, 13 at 8:49
If you are limited in space, you can use a speed oven instead of both a wall oven and a separate microwave. It would save you one appliance to fit in and look at. We went with a 36" gas range and a speed oven installed undercounter. It has been a great combination. |

Making flaky and like-pie pastry is not hard but it does require a little patience, practice and the right technique. Important things to keep in mind are making sure all the ingredients are cold when making the dough, allowing the dough to rest and then working with the dough at the proper temperature. To make sure all the ingredients are cold, always use iced water when making dough, the less the fats are melted in to the dough, the flakier the pastry will be. Add just enough water to bring the dough together, too much water will toughen the dough and too little will yield a crumbly texture. Try using a pastry blender to cut the fat in to the flour; you can also use a fork to blend the ingredients together. Handle the dough as Little as possible, to keep it at the proper temperature, mix it just until it barely forms a ball when pressed together. Shape the dough in to one or more balls and then press them firmly in to round disk of equal thickness. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill for a minimum of 30 minutes. This will allow time for the gluten to rest, resulting in a more tender crust. Allow the dough to warm up slightly or it could crack when rolling out. When rolling, start from the center and roll the dough outwards to ensure an even thickness. Turn the dough a quarter turn while rolling out to ensure even rolling in all directions. To transfer the dough to the pie plate or tarp pan, roll the dough loosely around the rolling pin and unroll once you have the pin positioned over the dish. Gently press the dough in to the plate, pushing out any air bubbles, continue against the sides until the dough is snuggly in place. Allow the dough to hang over the edge and trim it according to the decorative pie-edge that you have chosen. If blind-baking the pie shell, small air-holes should be poked in the bottom crust with a fork. Blind-baking is necessary if the pie-filling can not be bake as long as the crust requires or if the filling of the pie would make the crust too soggy if added Immediately. To reduce shrinkage, allow the pie shell to chill for 15 minutes before baking or filling and baking.

A Propósito de uma Exposição sobre Amílcar Pinto : Idéias de Museu na Cidade
José Miguel Raimundo Noras
Documento (.pdf)
AbstractWe propose a brief presentation of the work of architect Amílcar Pinto, which was the subject of a recent research, and also the methodology we used. Then we intend to reflect on the way which the research supports the approach of our exhibition proposals. Therefore this is mainly a project for spreading knowledge on Amílcar Pinto (a rediscovered architect) by the construction of a temporary exhibition. The model of this event foretells the creation of the exhibition inside of one of the works of the architect - the Café Central in Santarem (currently closed to the public). In this way we assume the architectonical space, while a design of Amílcar Pinto, as an object of the exhibition program. From a theoretical viewpoint we propose that this experience can serve to two lines of thought. The first linked to the exhibition space. Discussing ways and the possibilities of the "museum come to town" and holds its activities in different spaces of everyday life. The second approach is related to the subject of the exhibition. In fact, besides the artistic work we also want to show a glimpse of everyday life of Amílcar Pinto.

I have an old HP Pavilion Elite m9361.uk-a desktop pc, which I was planning on giving away to family. Unfortunately, the graphics card doesn't work anymore. I'm looking to replace this with something similar or better if possible and just wondered what my options were. I just want something I can slot in without having to upgrade other hardware if possible. It was primarily used as a gaming pc (WOW) and will be in the future. The link above shows it's current specifications.
Many thanks in advance,

Review this posted document. Do you have room for a double wide graphics card? If there is a PCI-E card installed in the adjacent slot then can you move it over?
Someone a while back posted a similar issue and did not want to upgrade the power supply and additionally the graphics card needed to be a single slot card. hmmmm I did find a solution for that issue but it was a challenge. You might want to search the forum and see if you can find the solution.

Jun 17, 2013 3:37 AM by ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON (AP) - A former hitman who admits killing 20 people is expected to take the stand at the trial of reputed gangster James "Whitey" Bulger (BUHL'-jur).
John Martorano served a little over 12 years in prison after striking a cooperation deal with prosecutors. He was released in 2007.
The 83-year-old Bulger is charged in a 32-count racketeering indictment that accuses him of participating in 19 murders in the 1970s and '80s. He is also charged with extorting bookmakers, drug dealers and others running illegal businesses.
Martorano is one of three former Bulger loyalists who struck deals with prosecutors and agreed to testify against him. Bulger's former partner, Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi, and former Bulger lieutenant Kevin Weeks are also expected to be key prosecution witnesses.
Martorano is expected to testify Monday.

Election Results
The official 2014 NISG Election Results are now available here.
Upon further review of the 2014 NISG Election results today (2/27/14), there is an update by the NISG Election Commission on the final vote count. Kevin Gartman and Paul Andersen took 51.7% (610) of the votes, securing them the offices of president and vice president. Corey Cooling and Eric Boise earned 46.8% (552) of the votes.
These results are slightly different than the results reported last night (2/26/14). Votes for the students in the Undecided/General Studies/Interdisciplinary/No College category were transposed in the original calculations. The correct results show Kevin and Paul receiving 15 votes in this category, while Corey and Eric received 25. These numbers were originally reversed and therefore were reported in error. Once again, Kevin Gartman and Paul Andersen will serve as the 2014-2015 president and vice president.
All election documents are available for public viewing upon setting up an appointment with the NISG Election Commission. Please contact KaLeigh White (firstname.lastname@example.com) with questions (2014).

Can't get in. I can't move him.
I think I like it because it hurts to not know, pain is so.
I tried. I tried. I tried.

Oh man, another Simpson baby has entered the world!
Jessica Simpson reportedly has given birth to a baby girl named Maxwell Drew Johnson. The singer's family was spotted congregating at the Los Angeles hospital today, sparking rumours that the star is finally in labour. The baby is more than a week overdue, having been expected by April 21.
The 31-year-old singer was dating fiancé Eric Johnson for six months before getting pregnant; this is the couple's first child. Simpson held a baby shower last month, attended by Ashlee Simpson, Jessica Alba, Ellen Pompeo and their respective children.
This calls for a fantastic collection of baby photos to be posted via Twitter, no? We'll be waiting…
We're guessing Eric is on diaper duty first, Jessica has earned her rest.
There ye have, mini Jessica has been born. Congrats to the happy parents!

Reports: NameMedia Lays Off 30
Unconfirmed reports suggest domain giant has laid off 30 people.
[Updated]Xconomy is citing unconfirmed reports that NameMedia, parent company of Afternic and BuyDomains, has laid off 30 employees. Please note that Xconomy has been unable to confirm the layoffs as of yet. I have reached out to multiple employees at NameMedia and will update this post as more information becomes available.
As of September 2007 the company had 136 employees according to SEC filings.
NameMedia filed to go public back in November 2007, but obviously the stock markets have not been favorable to IPOs since then.
The company generated $61.0 million in revenue in 2006 and $58.3 million in revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. More recent numbers are not available, but I suspect advertising revenue has come under extreme pressure.
NameMedia owns BuyDomains, an end-user focused domain name sales site, as well as Afternic.com, a favorite aftermarket among domain owners. It also owns three domain name parking services: GoldKey, ActiveAudience, and SmartName. It purchased both GoldKey and Smartname. All three parking services are similar.
The company's business model generates revenue from advertising (primarily on its 750,000 plus domains and through clients of its three domain parking services) and through sales of domain names through BuyDomains and Afternic. The company also has expiring domain agreements with Melbourne IT and Tucows (AMEX: TCX).
I'll update this post if I receive any new information. If anyone has more information about the rumored layoffs please comment.
[Update: I've heard of at least a small handful of people being laid off, but I haven't been able to confirm any massive company wide lay-offs.]
9 Comments
Hey Andrew. Let me know if you hear anything from NameMedia. We've been trying to reach them all week but nobody answers the phones.
I imagine all companies are cutting back on employees.
Companies are now in survival mode, not expansion mode.
I would also expect BuyDomains to lower prices and/or start pumping their domains through auctions to lighten up on lower performing and low chance of sale domains.
With roughly 60M in revenues and only 136 employees something does not seem right about having to lay off 30.
My account contact at buydomains.com is gone. I tried to call him this past week and they said he was no longer with the company.
wow, buy at $50 sell AT $5000…my first offers' just went down
I think NameMedia are suffering just like everyone else has been in the market.
Now is always a good time to clear out dead wood in your company.
NameMedia has laid off a large number of people from several divisions. Several developer/programmers were laid off, the VP of HR, and the head of their Premium Websites division.

Beside the obvious intangible gifts of your love and time, dogs are material beings. With budget limitations especially this year, spend your money wisely on the family pooch. The following are some traditional items loved by most dogs and enough suggestions to choose at least one for yours. All items on this list should be $6-$12 or under.
Two dog toys such as long bungies that they can both tug are very popular in multiple pet households.
Red and green large plush jack toys with multiple squeakers are more reasonably priced than the non-Christmas pattern colors.

Everyone in the area has seen feral cats. Most of them if gotten young enough can become adoptable through local rescue and fostering organizations. If they are older it's better to spay/neuter them and return them to their environment as long as it's safe. Why? Many do not adjust well to cohabitation with humans or an indoor environment. They don't become the cuddly cats that you might envision. What about feral dogs, specifically puppies? If retrieved from their mothers early enough, just like kittens, they can learn to enjoy the rewards of human companionship.

We were blessed last year with the opening of K9 Kabana at Berkeley Place on Buckwalter with a fine selection of natural ingredient treats and food and some very boutique cute articles of clothing and home accessories. This coming month welcome the opening of All Four Paws to Bluffton Parkway. I was in today to check it out. An excellent selection of high quality foods and treats for your allergic pet. Natural foods, baked bisquits and limited ingredient treats is where we should all be headed for our cats and dogs.

A client called me this morning to discuss a problem she had with her dog recently. Someone was visiting the house who was not comfortable around her 3 year old Rottie. When the owner left the room to get something, the guest got up and moved toward the door. The Rotti followed him and nipped him on the arm. The nip was not serious but certainly intimidating. This otherwise sweet dog had never done this before. Why now?
After lengthy discussions, I found out that the man was showing physical signs of fear around the dog.

We are so excited and the adrenaline is pumping. Tomorrow, finally, Feb. 26th marks the opening of our clinic. SNAC is the only low cost spay and neuter clinic in the area and we welcome those of you who can't afford to get it done otherwise! We especially welcome rescue organizations, multiple pet owners and the fine people in our communities who trap and release feral cats. Our staff and board truly believe in this cause and want to earn your confidence as well.
The phone line has a machine so we can call you back to schedule appointments. 843-645-2500.

Just to update everyone on SNAC's opening week. Last week we had spayed or neutered 33 dogs and 30 cats! How about that. Do you know how many hundreds of unwanted litters that might be? To see the statistics check out our website www.snac1.com and our link to Humane Alliance. So far this week we have scheduled over 40 animals. Keep bringin'em in! 843-645-2500 to schedule your appointments or to recommend us to someone you know. I will be representing SNAC at the HHI Kennel Club Dog Show next Saturday and Sunday.

Since I've started blogging the water dog rescue training several people have asked me about pools and their dogs. "Can't all dogs swim naturally", or "my breed doesn't swim" and of course, "I have a pool in my yard, how do I train the dog to it?"
Just because a dog CAN swim doesn't mean they enjoy swimming. Many dogs panic in the water if not properly introduced to it and some will never actually enjoy it even if they learn to swim. Why bother? Every year you hear of children drowning in pools and dogs drowning as well.

Sometimes there are some really fun articles that are too good to pass up. So here is a reprint of one from PetPlace.com. Enjoy!
By: AlphaDog on March 26, 2009 - 1:03pm - Add new comment
Often, behavioral issues in dogs may not be centered on problem solving behavior or training issues. Without knowing it, owners may be experiencing inappropriate behavior due to an undiagnosed medical problem and/or food related issues.
Not all foods are right for all dogs. Too much or too little protein, sugars that have been converted by carbohydrates, etc. take their toll on dogs just as in kids. For example, dogs can become hyperactive without the right balance.

Sometime during this coming week I expect to hear whether the Marine Corps. ruling on limiting testing of specific breeds to Delta or Canine Good Citizen, will be expanded to include SAFER, a more appropriate temperament test. IF it happens, this will be good news for our area, keeping many dogs and military in their existing homes rather than having to give up their beloved pets or move. To read the original article go to BT Friday, Sept. 4th, Pet Passions page.

with Peacock Feather
Self-Portrait with Peacock Feather
Charles Lisanby
Ca. 1958
Inkblot Print on Paper
16 x 13 in.; 40.6 x 33 cm.
Gift of Charles Lisanby
This print, a self-portrait done by Charles soon after meeting Andy Warhol, is a particularly informative artifact from their time together. Done in Andy's distinctive "blotted ink" style, Charles' lines nevertheless appear much more clean and finished than Warhol's ever did. The "blotted ink" drawings, which Andy preferred because of the distinctive line that the technique produced, were made through a very simple process.
As Charles recollects:
"He would take a piece of paper and attach it to the piece of paper that the final drawing was going to be on, with top on top so that it would be a flap so he could fold it back, and he would draw on that with ink. And when it was still wet, fold it back over and blot it onto the other piece of paper".
After their initial meeting at Bill Cecil's party, Charles and Andy were virtually inseparable, talking on the phone whenever they weren't physically together. The two would often spend their Sundays at Charles' apartment drawing the various riff-raff that filled it and experimenting with various new techniques, including the "blotted ink" process that Andy so adored. Even today, Charles insists that his experience with Warhol enabled him to replicate the famous artists' work. As he remembers:
"At that time, I was doing a lot of drawings for Andy, too. I could right now sit down and do an "Andy Warhol" drawing. I really could… Once, he had to have a lot of drawings for someone who designed fabrics… and we sat down and in a weekend did over a hundred of them… We were thinking of them together, drawing things around the apartment and ice cream cones and lobsters and what all. We had been drawing everything".

N.C. law allows bigger boats on highways
Posted onThe North Carolina General Assembly yesterday overrode Gov. Michael Easley's veto of a bill that allows for an increase in the size of boats that can be transported on the state's highways.
The new law, which takes effect immediately, allows boats with beams up to 10 feet to be towed without a permit and beams up to 9 feet to be towed at night. It also provides for an annual permit, as opposed to a single-trip permit, for oversize boats.
The bill passed unanimously in the state Senate and by a vote of 95-8 in the House, marking the first time in state history a governor's veto has been overridden by the General Assembly.
In vetoing the bill Aug. 17, Easley cited safety concerns as his reason for not supporting the proposal. Easley also noted the bill would allow a driver blood alcohol level of .08, double that allowed by commercial vehicles of smaller sizes.
"I sincerely believe that this bill puts families at risk on highways and would result in death or serious injury," he wrote in his veto message, noting the state's roughly 600,000 miles of narrow two-lane roads.
"If two 9-1/2-foot [beam] boats were to meet on an 18-foot strip of road or bridge, it would be physically impossible to escape a collision," the governor wrote.

Know Your Lore: Living Relics of the Barrens {WoW}
Aug 21st 2008 8:29PM Regarding Aviana, there seems to be conflicting information on her death.
So far I haven't had the chance to read any of the books, but WoWwiki (the article you linked on Aviana) seems to suggest that she didn't actually die and was only wounded during the War of the Ancients. Then further on it mentions that she did in fact die. The page on G'Hanir also says that the tree died when Aviana was wounded "but not killed".
Is this an error on WoWwiki's part, or is it actually not entirely clear?

Ask a Lore Nerd: Skeletons, slavery, and the shadows {WoW}
Aug 17th 2008 9:19PM I'm not sure how well, if at all, this is supported in lore, but another way to look at shadow priests (in the form of WoW player characters and not specific characters from lore) is that it's not necessarily "shadow".
A while ago there was a question for this column that asked why, if Night Elves are so anti-arcane, are Moonfire and Starfire considered arcane spells. The answer was essentially "game mechanics, it would be over-the-top to have another school of magic (moon damage?) just for a couple of spells".
Perhaps you could interpret "shadow" priests in this way. Like Alex pointed out, most of the shadow priests' offensive spells are mind or psyche related, but it's simply a game mechanic to consider them "shadow" damage and not, say, "mind" damage.
Latest Beta build kills spell downranking [UPDATED] {WoW}

Latest Beta build kills spell downranking [UPDATED] {WoW}
Aug 14th 2008 1:35AM I completely agree.
Downranking meant that players, particularly healers, had to actually think about what they were doing. It was part of the difference between being an exceptional healer and simply being a mediocre healer.
It seems with this change, we're being force to simply bind all our keys to alternate through our max rank healing spells and start rolling our faces on the keyboard.

Aug 12th 2008 3:31AM I apologise if this has been explained before, but how do Death Knight weapons work? Can Death Knights equip any weapon (within their allowed weapon proficiencies) and it becomes a runeweapon, or are there seperate, exclusive runeweapon drops/rewards for Death Knights?

Lichborne: PvP, grinding, the Unholy tree, and you {WoW}
Aug 10th 2008 10:10AM Now that I think about it, I assume you mean due to a Paladin's cleanse removing both a disease and a magic effect (and poisons), which is valid. However, Paladins can get around this by using Purify, which removes only poisons and diseases.
So while I can see the point that Unstable Affliction provides some level of protection for Death Knight diseases, it's a fairly flimsy layer.

Has anyone else found this or is there some mechanic we have missed that makes venturing forward acceptable outside of having a rediculous hand of item cards for rapid movement?
Posted 17 January 2013 - 09:24 PM
Posted 17 January 2013 - 09:48 PM
Some cards from the second floor cards deck have an interface option allowing you to escape the facility, so sometimes it could be fun trying. Plus, some other cards allow you to decrese the proximity dial, offering you some moments of respite.
Generally speaking, I find thematically correct that the deeper you go in the facility, the easier is having troubles in escaping the facility, and I don't bother too much if I start exiting the building as soon as I finish exploring the first floor. Nonetheless, some optional rules can be helpful if you want to go deeper. First of all, you can set the Alarm dial to -1 at the beginning of the game. This should grant you - unless you're playing a very unlucky game - to venture further in your exploration. And then you can use another optional rule, saying that you mix together first floor and second floor cards so that sooner or later you will certainly cycle all the cards in your deck.
Hope this helps!
Posted 19 January 2013 - 04:51 PM
I love trying to get to the second floor! Even if I know that I may not get back in time (and most of the time I won't) I like taking the risk. I guess, though, it's very much based on how much you want to guarantee escape.
Depending on what items you draw can also influence how deeply you procced into the facility.
In the long run though, it does come down to your own personal playing style, but if everyone is playing safe eventually you may have to take the risks to try and get that little bit more of an advantage.
Posted 03 February 2013 - 10:28 PM
I go to the 2nd floor (or in that direction) to find secret room or to find an option to exit the facility via interface. If you are lucky - you find both (secret room and you explore it for 2 rounds) then you rush to the 2nd floor to find an interface…
It does not work all the time - sometimes you are just stucked and you are caught, but on the other hand - that's your choice of what kind of risk you are planning to undertake. Your strategy and your investigator is on the line. I like the idea.
Of course I have seen it often that people (especially in the beginning - first games for them) do not go far… they want to leave safely. But with time, it simply pushes you to see what is up there.
Posted 04 February 2013 - 04:54 AM
The only problem with the 2nd floor, it still takes forever to download all those piles of data. You have to have the right items to attempt it. If you get the Blackmail card you're free to loot the 2nd Floor to your heart's content…

The true measure of a great actor lies in the ability to portray convincingly a wide range of characters: good, bad or ugly. In that respect, Philip Seymour Hoffman, who died, at 46, of an apparent drug overdose in one of his New York City apartments on Sunday, rightly earned his reputation as the greatest character actor of his generation.
On screen in more than 50 film roles over a quarter-century — and in extensive work on stage — the chameleonic Mr. Hoffman inhabited villains, lovers, curmudgeons, sidekicks and psychologically wounded men. Indeed, the more flawed the character, the better it suited his talents. Mr. Hoffman won the Best Actor Academy Award for his brilliant interpretation of author Truman Capote in the 2006 film "Capote." He was Oscar-nominated three times, most recently for his chilling performance as cult leader Lancaster Dodd in "The Master" (2012).
A dedicated "Method"-trained actor, Mr. Hoffman was fearless in his choice of parts. We remember, for example, his soul-baring performance as Willy Loman in the 2012 Broadway revival of Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman." Here, Mr. Hoffman embraced one of the theater's most dramatically taxing parts, garnering a Tony Award nomination in the process. Even so, there were insecurities. "I tell you," Mr. Hoffman said in an interview at the time of the play's opening, "it's not the first thing that you want to do when you wake up in the morning. You have to find your way there, every morning, to do that."
Ironically, Mr. Hoffman's damaged characters spilled over to real life. Though giving up drugs and alcohol while in his 20s, he continued to struggle with substance abuse. His reported reliance on prescription medication resulted last year in his briefly turning back to heroin. He was found by police with a syringe in his arm, and a packet of what seemed to be heroin nearby; his success, it appeared, was not enough to keep the demons permanently in check.
Such a demise at any age is, of course, horrible. When it happens to a talented and respected artist in the prime of his career, that tragedy is somehow compounded.

Recent purchaser of a dillon 550, which came with a RCBS three die set consisting of size/deprime, bell, and taper/seating die.
I also have an extra sizing/depriming die.
The question?
Can I use the second sizing die (minus the deprimer) in the fourth station, and set the seating/crimp die to do little more than barely remove the bell in station 3?
Thanks for any help on this (and yes, I am planning on getting Lee FCD for station 4 when I can find one....)

Press Releases
Jerry Walsh |
Chicago, IL – According to a new study by BDO USA, LLP, one of the nation's leading accounting and consulting organizations, just over a third (36%) of capital markets executives at leading investment banks believe the percentage of foreign-based IPOs on U.S. exchanges will increase in the coming year. A similar amount (37%) believe the percentage will remain flat and approximately one quarter (27%) predict a decrease in foreign-based offerings. The percentage predicting an increase is a major drop from 2011 (59%) and 2010 (51%), when a majority of bankers predicted more foreign offerings on U.S. exchanges. Asia is still the most often cited (49%) geographic location for spawning foreign-based IPOs on U.S. exchanges, but not as popular as in 2011 (66%) or 2010 (73%). Latin America (24%) was the only other region receiving serious consideration as the 2012 leader for foreign offerings.
Almost half (44%) of the investment bankers predict a decrease in the number of China-based businesses conducting offerings on U.S. exchanges in 2012. When asked a reason for the decrease, more than half (57%) cite the widely publicized accounting scandals at numerous Chinese businesses curbing the U.S. appetite for these offerings, while almost one-third (31%) think Chinese businesses will seek to avoid U.S. regulations. A lesser amount (12%) cite the increased access to capital in Asia Pacific exchanges as the reason.
More than three-quarters (79%) of the investment bankers indicate that the Chinese accounting scandals have led them to increase their due diligence when vetting China-based offerings. When asked where they have expanded their due diligence efforts of potential China-based offerings, a majority (56%) cite internal controls over financial reporting and just under one-quarter (23%) mention increased scrutiny of corporate governance structure. Lesser amounts cite business risks (14%) and product/sales trends (6%).
"As economic concerns spread to virtually every country around the world, it isn't surprising that the capital markets community is forecasting a more moderate migration of foreign-based IPOs to U.S. exchanges in 2012," said Lee Graul, a Partner in the Capital Markets Practice of BDO USA. "However, the bankers concerns specific to Chinese offerings is very revealing. The prominent accounting scandals have clearly impacted the U.S. view of Chinese businesses and investment banks are enhancing their risk assessment processes for considering these offerings."
IPOs on U.S. exchanges represented more than a quarter of total global IPO proceeds in 2011, a considerable increase from 2010. When asked the chief factor driving this trend, the capital markets community identified pricings of large PE backed IPOs on U.S. exchanges (36%), a slowdown in international IPO activity (34%) and foreign businesses listing on U.S. exchanges (30%).
Moving forward, 41 percent of I-bankers believe the U.S. percentage of global proceeds will increase further in 2012, compared to 40 percent that see it remaining relatively flat and 19 percent that predict a decrease in the U.S. share of global IPO proceeds.
In terms of IPOs taking place on foreign exchanges, 39 percent of investment bankers believe Hong Kong will be the most popular in 2012. Euronext (12%) London (12%) and Shanghai (11%) are the only other exchanges receiving double digit support.
The 2012 BDO IPO Outlook survey, conducted in December 2011, examined the opinions of 100 capital markets executives at leading investment banks regarding the market for initial public offerings in the United States in the coming year. The survey was conducted by Market Measurement, Inc., an independent market research consulting firm, whose executive interviewers spoke directly to capital markets executives, using a telephone survey conducted within a scientifically-developed, pure random sample of the nation's leading investment banks.

A Vegetarian Comes to Dinner

I am always stumped when a vegetarian comes to dinner.

Or that I'm in any way annoyed that there won't be meat on the evening line-up. Quite the opposite actually — I feel like I've been heavily leaning towards more plant-and-whole-grain based dishes at our everyday

Fifty Is The New Nothing
Starting over in the middle
by Chuck Sigars
"… I don't want to go to law school, or pursue another advanced degree, or change my career, which would be funny if I had a career to begin with. I might do all of those things come the next season, but this is summer and I'm about to turn 50 and suddenly I have the makings of a gym in my basement and it's clear to me.
I want to be Batman."
–The Dark Knight of the Soul
From Amazon:
Some people age well. Others, not so much. When it came to turning 50, though, Pacific Northwest columnist Chuck Sigars realized it was an ideal time to start over. From his popular newspaper columns for Beacon Publishing, "50 Is The New Nothing" explores the possibilities, not the limitations, of aging. With his trademark humor, Sigars describes his adventures losing 100 pounds, learning to count calories and walk for miles, along with his discovery of exactly how many push-ups he could do (three).
"50 Is The New Nothing" could also be a primer on aging gracelessly, as Sigars explores the pitalls and signposts on the road to old guy status, including which shirts should never be tucked in and how to avoid talking like a teenager.
Divided into two sections, "Finding Fifty" and "Family Matters," in the latter part of the book Sigars turns his attention to the ones that matter most, as he prepares for his daughter's wedding. Along the way, he takes a crosscountry road trip and finds out that home is where the heart is, as long as you know where home is and who is waiting for you there.
Ultimately this is a story of discovery, told through the eyes of a guy who was surprised as anyone to hit the big Five-Oh. As Sigars points out in the preface, this generation of Late Boomers might be the least prepared of any cohort for senior citizenhood.
"We were never going to get old," he writes in the introduction. "We were going to coast, drafting like Dennis Christopher in 'Breaking Away' (1976) behind the preceding generations and particularly technology, getting younger even as the years passed, picking up speed by virtue of being born on the cusp of a new era and reaching adolescence in an angst-free time."
What happens, of course, is what everyone experiences eventually, but told through the aging eyes of a man who decides to start over in the middle, just for the heck of it, and surprises himself, and us, with what he finds.
From Chuck:
This book fits generally into the humor category, although there are plenty of more serious pieces in it, particularly in the Family Matters section. If you click on the "Excerpts" link below, you'll find samples from each section to give you more of an idea. Of course, both the Kindle and Smashbook sites will give you more substantial previews of the first part of the book.

The gravitational collapse of a star is an important issue both for general relativity and astrophysics, which is related to the well known "frozen star" paradox. Following the seminal work of Oppenheimer and Schneider (1939), we present the exact solution for two dust shells collapsing towards a pre‐existing black hole. We find that the inner region of the shell is influenced by the property of the shell, which is contrary to the result in Newtonian theory and and the clock inside the shell becomes slower as the shell collapses towards the pre‐existing black hole. This result in principle may be tested experimentally if a beam of light travels across the shell. We conclude that the concept of the "frozen star" should be abandoned, since matter can indeed cross a black hole's horizon according to the clock of an external observer. Since matter will not accumulate around the event horizon of a black hole, we predict that only gravitational wave radiation can be produced in the final stage of the merging process of two coalescing black holes. Our results also indicate that for the clock of an external observer, matter, after crossing the event horizon, will never arrive at the "singularity" (i.e. the exact center of the black hole).

Wisconsin Water Science Center
USGS Water Science Centers are located in each state.
Wisconsin Internet Mapping (WiM) develops and implements web mapping applications and online data services for a variety of projects and cooperators. We focus on creating intuitive user interfaces, building powerful navigation and support tools, and utilizing innovative mapping technologies to produce interactive data portals for disseminating spatial information. Our mappers are fast, stable, and easy to navigate.
We rely on our cartographic expertise, scientific fluency, and technological ingenuity to create custom products specifically designed for our cooperators' needs.
We currently specialize in mappers and services for:
If you would like discuss partnering with WiM on a project, please contact Gary Latzke by email or at 608.821.3805
WiM partners with the EPA's Office of Pesticides for creating Bulletins Live! A real time county -based bulletins web application for the protection of endangered species. Specialized technologies and processes for collecting pesticide use limitation data and updating digital map files are developed and enhanced. Web based mapping applications are created for the EPA as a tool to distribute pesticide information to the public. Visit: EPA Bulletins Live!
WiM also develops and maintains a court ordered injunction mapper for EPA. The Stipulated Injunction sets forth a schedule by which EPA will review the registrations of pesticides containing any of 75 pesticide active ingredients for their potential effects to 1 or more of 11 federally-listed threatened or endangered species in 8 counties around the San Francisco Bay area of California. The mapper allows pesticide applicators to quickly view, identify and print restricted areas, active ingredients and restrictions of concern.
The Flood Inundation Mapper is a prototype mapping tool for flood response and mitigation. The mapper shows digital geospatial flood-inundation maps of flood water extent and depth on the land surface. This real-time dynamic flood inundation mapping application reports current station conditions, will provide download data options and a print pdf tool.
The Methylmercury Model mapper, an assessment tool for the National Park Service (NPS), shows predicted Methylmercury levels in National Parks in the continental US and Alaska. NPS managers can view and compare predicted Methylmercury as well as Phosphorous, Sulfate and Organic Carbon levels in watersheds that lie within National Park boundaries. The mapper is a product of the USGS Mercury Research Team and CIDA, both located at the Wisconsin Water Science Center. Visit: Mercury Team - Home Page
The SPARROW Mapper is a tool for the regional interpretation of water-quality monitoring in the Great Lakes Watershed. The mapper shows the in-stream water-quality measurements of Phosphorus and Nitrogen in spatially referenced watersheds, using charts to show the breakdown of sources and compare levels with other units in the Great Lakes Watershed. Visit: Sparrow Website
The Resource areas of the Gulf of Mexico Mapper has been compiled from a variety of sources that depict the extent and location of important fish and wildlife resource areas and oil along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. To help assess the potential effects of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, data that intersects a one mile buffer along the shoreline is represented with additional detail.
WiM partners with the US Fish and Wildlife Service in support of the National Wetlands Inventory. WiM develops and maintains the Wetlands Mapper, which provide the citizens of the United States and its Territories with current geospatially referenced information on the status, extent, characteristics and functions of wetlands, riparian, deepwater and related aquatic habitats in priority areas to promote the understanding and conservation of these resources.
Updates to the Wetlands Mapper are in direct response to the need to integrate digital map data with other resource information to produce timely and relevant management and decision support tools.
The Wetlands Mapper is designed to promote greater awareness of wetlands geospatial data applications and to deliver easy‐to‐use, map like views of America's wetland resources in a digital format.
The USGS is providing expertise, capacity and support for the implementation of Lakewide Management Plans and the associated goals, objectives and targets for each of the Great Lakes. This work will include participation in LaMP and lakewide processes, programs and projects, including the development of LaMP documents. More information about LaMP and other GLRI programs can be found at: http://cida.usgs.gov/glri/projects/accountability/management_plan.html
As part of the larger USGS Hurricane Irene response effort, the Wisconsin Internet Mapping group (WiM) developed the Hurricane Irene Storm Surge Tracking Map to provide up-to-date information for emergency responders. During the storm event, the map linked to real-time streamflow and tidal data. Additional data, including storm surge, wave heights, and site photos, will be uploaded as post-storm conditions allow for data retrieval and processing.

Meilani was going away for a few weeks so Molly invited her to a spa date. After some girl talk Molly took Meilani to the hotel room. She was all over her huge beautiful tits.
