Automotive writers being as...humbly accommodated as we are, it's sometimes bittersweet to report on the billionaire's playthings we're only allowed to sample, at best, for an afternoon or two—that is, when we aren't, at worst, drooling over desktop wallpapers and spec sheets. So then, there is some solace in knowing that this week's toy, the Ferrari 599XX Evoluzione, won't be spending much time in its owners' hands, either.
That's because the Evoluzione is the latest in Ferrari's XX program, wherein their most loyal and lucrative customers are given the privilege of paying for this track-only technology testbed, a harder, better, and faster version of the already-bonkers 599. No, the 599XX isn't road-legal, nor is it even track-ready without the aid of a team of Ferrari mechanics armed with laptops. Buyers of the original 599XX got, for their $1.75 million, the car along with six Ferrari-sponsored track test days. And now, for an additional $250,000—that is, about the price of a new Ferrari 458—existing owners will now receive another six track days, along with a host of upgrades. It's the upgrades, of course, that make this such a bargain.
There's all the usual engineering tweaks—changes to the suspension, a bump in power to 730 horses—but the crux of this new package is the active rear wing, similar to the Drag Reduction System (DRS) technology that is currently changing the game in Formula One. It features two flaps which rotate automatically, based on telemetry of the car's speed, steering angle, lateral acceleration, and more, in order to raise or lower the amount of downforce on the rear wheels—and, more incredibly, the front wheels as well. The result is yet another step toward the holy grail of perfect traction and handling, yet again derived from the billion-dollar R&D department that is F1 racing; look for similar features on more everyman conveyances...a couple decades from now.
And that's all well and good for your aftermarket Honda Civic, but this is Ferrari we're talking about. Younger readers may only revere them for Michael Schumacher, paddle shifts, and sub-four 60 mph times, but where Ferrari's road cars originally made their name wasn't between the stoplights, but on the winding roads of places like Cannes and Monaco. Legendary cars like the Ferrari Daytona (pictured) were posh grand tourers, for taking you and Sophia Loren from the casino to the marina. The 599 happens to be a front-engined V12 GT car, in the Daytona tradition. But is it as stylish, as effortlessly cool as its forbearer? It pains us to say it, but it seems hard to make that case.
For years, Ferrari has been transplanting its success in F1 into pavement-pounding technologies in its road cars, and that has altered the content of their underpinnings, and their skin-deep aesthetic. Features like carbon fiber trim on the dash and F1-style switches all over the steering wheel get our 12-year-old selves all up in a tizzy, but would guys like Marcello Mastroianni want launch control? Or a switch that puts the car in "race" mode?
Then again, times change, and maybe our increasingly technocratic lifestyles are desegregating pragmatism and style. After all, in a world where Ray Rice is a Call of Duty fanatic and Adrian Peterson enjoys the occasional game of Magic: The Gathering, even the most image-conscious are increasingly unashamed of our geeky predilections. And cars like the 599XX and its successors are a nod to that fact—digital cars for the Internet age. If that's true, feel free to rock a techy parka over your suit, and adaptive aerodynamics on your ride. You'll be warm and fast as hell, if nothing else.

Florence Leontine Mary Welch[1] (born 28 August 1986)[2][3][4] is an English musician, singer, and songwriter. She is best known as the lead vocalist of the indie rock band Florence + the Machine. The band's debut album, Lungs, was released in 2009; on 17 January 2010, the album reached the top position, after being on the chart for 28 consecutive weeks. The group's second studio album, Ceremonials, released in October 2011, debuted at number one in the UK and number six in the United States.
Florence Leontine Mary Welch was born in in Camberwell, London on 28 August 1986. Her British father is Nick Welch, an advertising executive,[5] and her mother is an American expatriate from New York[5] and the Harvard University- and Warburg Institute, University of London-educated[6] Professor of Renaissance Studies and Vice-Principal for Arts and Sciences at King's College London, Evelyn Welch.[7] Nick and Evelyn later divorced in 1990,[8] and both remarried;[9] when she was 13 years old, Welch, her mother, and her two younger siblings moved in with their next-door neighbour and his three teenage children. According to Welch, "We get on brilliantly now, but it was a nightmare then. I just used to stay in my room and dance around".[10]
Nick contributed a "rock and roll element to the family mix"; in his twenties, he lived in a West End squat and attended the Squatters' Ball organised by Heathcote Williams where The 101ers played regularly.[11] A self-confessed "frustrated performer", if Nick, as he put it, "nudged Flo in any way, it's only been to listen to the Ramones rather than Green Day".[11] Evelyn had an equally strong yet completely different influence on her daughter. A visit to one of her mother's lectures left teenage Florence deeply impressed. She explained, "I aspire to something like that but with music. I hope that my music has some of the big themes—sex, death, love, violence—that will still be part of the human story in 200 years' time".[11]
Welch is the niece of the satirist Craig Brown[5] via Brown's wife and Welch's aunt, Frances Welch,[12] and granddaughter of former deputy editor of The Daily Telegraph and former Daily Mail parliamentary sketchwriter James Colin Ross Welch, originally of Cambridgeshire.[12][13]
Welch's fascination with terror and doom was intensified by the death of her grandparents within a few years of each other.[1] At 10 years old, Welch witnessed her paternal grandfather Colin's deterioration following a stroke and death on 28 January 1997;[9] at 14 years old, her maternal grandmother, an art historian who had suffered from manic depression,[8] committed suicide.[1]
During her youth, Welch was encouraged by her Scottish paternal grandmother, Sybil Welch (née Russell),[12] to pursue her performing and singing talents;[14] Welch sang "Over the Sea to Skye" at her paternal grandmother's funeral, following her death from a stroke.[14] Welch sang at her maternal grandmother's funeral as well.[15] Welch's dead grandmothers inspired numerous songs on Florence and the Machine's début album, Lungs.[16] Although she has an American passport via her mother, growing up, she did not spend much time in the United States.[15]
Florence was educated at Thomas's London Day School then went onto Alleyn's School, South East London, where she did well academically,[1] despite her diagnoses of dyslexia and dyspraxia.[17] Welch often got in trouble in school for impromptu singing.[1]
Upon leaving secondary school and "just bumming around Camberwell where I lived, working at a bar and thought that I should start doing something with life", Florence studied at Camberwell College of Arts before dropping out to focus on her music.[1] Initially, she had intended to take a year out from her studies to "see where the music would go and then it started going somewhere so I never went back".[15]
According to Welch, the "Florence + the Machine" as a band name "started off as a private joke that got out of hand. I made music with my friend, who we called Isabella Machine, to which I was Florence Robot. When I was about an hour away from my first gig, I still didn't have a name, so I thought 'Okay, I'll be Florence Robot/Isa Machine', before realising that name was so long it'd drive me mad".[1][18] In 2006, Welch's performances with Summers in small London venues under the joint name Florence Robot/Isa Machine began to attract notice.[citation needed]
In 2007, Welch recorded with a band named Ashok, who released an album titled Plans on the Filthy Lucre/About Records label. This album included the earliest version of her later hit "Kiss with a Fist", which at this point was titled "Happy Slap".[19] She signed a contract for Ashok with a manager; but, feeling that she was "in the wrong band", she resigned, which cancelled the contract.[1]
Florence and the Machine is managed by Mairead Nash (one half of the DJ duo Queens of Noize), who decided to manage the singer when an inebriated Welch followed Nash into the toilets at a club[1][17] and sang Etta James' 1962 song "Something's Got a Hold on Me".[5]
Florence and the Machine released their debut album Lungs in the United Kingdom on 6 July 2009. The album was officially launched with a set at the Rivoli Ballroom in Brockley, South East London. It peaked at number one in the UK and number two in Ireland. As of 6 August 2009, the album had sold over 100,000 copies in the UK and by 10 August it had been at number two for five consecutive weeks.[20][21] Following its 25 July 2009 release for download in the United States, the album debuted at number seventeen on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart,[22] ultimately peaking at number one.[23] The album was released physically in the US on 20 October by Universal Republic.[24] The album was produced by James Ford, Paul Epworth, Steve Mackey and Charlie Hugall.[25]
Welch contributed vocals to David Byrne and Fatboy Slim's 2010 album Here Lies Love, an album about Imelda Marcos.[26] As of January 2011, Welch was working with Drake on material slated for his upcoming album.[27]
Following her rise to fame, Welch suffered a bout of depression, in part due to the demands of touring and loneliness.[28][29][30]
The band's second album, Ceremonials, was released on 31 October 2011. It debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and number six on the US Billboard 200.[31][32] On 12 January 2012, Florence and the Machine were nominated for two Brit Awards, with the awards ceremony taking place on 21 February 2012 at the O2 Arena, London.[33] On 26 April 2012, the band released "Breath of Life", a song which was recorded as the official theme song for the film Snow White and the Huntsman.[34][35] On 5 July 2012, a remix of "Spectrum" by Scottish musician Calvin Harris was released as the fourth single from Ceremonials, becoming the band's first UK number-one hit.[36] Welch has expressed excitement about putting new material together for a third album after the band finishes touring at the end of September 2012.[37]
On October 2012, she was featured on Scottish singer-songwriter and producer Calvin Harris's song "Sweet Nothing", which debuted and peaked at number one on the UK singles chart, marking Welch's second number one.[38] The song was taken from Harris's third studio album 18 Months and is the fifth single from the album. "Sweet Nothing" also peaked at number one in Ireland and number two in Australia and New Zealand. "Sweet Nothing" was certified Platinum in Australia.
"Sweet Nothing" received a nomination for Best Dance Recording at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards.
Florence has been compared to other female singers such as Kate Bush,[39][40] Siouxsie Sioux,[39][40] PJ Harvey,[39] Shirley Manson,[41] and Björk.[40] During an interview, Welch cited Grace Slick as her influence and "hero".[42] Florence and the Machine's style has been described as "dark, robust and romantic".[39] Their music is a mix of "classic soul and midnight-on-the-moors English art rock".[39] Welch stated that her lyrics related to Renaissance artists : "We're dealing with all of the same things they did : love and death, time and pain, heaven and hell".[43] Welch has used religious imagery in her music and performances, though she has stated "I'm not a religious person. Sex, violence, love, death, are the topics that I'm constantly wrestling with, it's all connected back to religion."[44]
When discussing her fashion style, Welch said that, "For the stage, it's The Lady of Shalott meets Ophelia...mixed with scary gothic bat lady. But in real life I'm kind of prim".[45] Welch has become noticed for her red curls (though she is actually a natural brunette)[46][47] and a style that has been described as daring but nonchalant. As a teenager she read fashion magazines more often than music magazines. Early in her music career she dressed in a tomboy style. 2011 saw Gucci dressing her for her summer tour and a performance at the Chanel runway show at Paris Fashion Week.[48] Welch describes 1970s American drag queen troupe The Cockettes and French chanson singer Françoise Hardy as fashion mentors.[49] Welch has also named Fleetwood Mac pop/rock singer Stevie Nicks as a musical, fashion, and general influence. A Huffington Post entertainment article quotes her as telling a reporter that "I'm pretty obsessed with Stevie Nicks from her style to her voice. I like watching her on YouTube and her old performances, the way she moves and everything". Welch can sometimes be seen in concert paying homage to Nicks' famous billowing stage dress. She later sings in the song "Sweet Nothing" by Calvin Harris showing her as a man in the beginning of the music video on YouTube, and later showing her as a woman (revealing clothing).[50]
Welch had a long-term relationship with a literary editor, Stuart Hammond, from 2008 to 2011. Their temporary split in 2009 provided inspiration for much of the Lungs album.[51] Welch says, "He prefers me not to talk about it. It's funny then singing about it."[20] The couple broke up in 2011 by mutual decision because of conflicting career demands, and the break-up provided material for Florence + the Machine's second album, Ceremonials.[52]
Welch lives with her mother, younger sister, younger brother, stepfather, two half-brothers, and half-sister.[5][9]

I was looking at the High Country Gardens catalog and saw a combination of grasses that look lovely in a drawing. Has anyone got an opinion if they would look this nice in reality?
http://www.highcountrygardens.com/shop/prod.html?class=preplanned&page=3 It is the "color and textures" garden. I am considering something like that for the front of our house. Any thoughts and suggestions are welcome. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I definitely think they would look GREAT in your yard, mylubbock! I love High Country's catalog. If you do decide to order that collection, you have to let us know how it goes! I'm excited for you. :) Brenda |
If there is one thing about ornamental grasses that I have learned the hard way is that any enriched soil may be a detriment to the quality of the grasses. Enriched garden loam soil may not be the best for the grasses. Enriched or amended soils that produced vibrant perennials has caused our grasses to flop and become leggy in appearance. I know others have said the same thing. Watering too much or too often can be as bad as the enriched garden soil. Be cautious when prepping your garden bed. I do agree that the plant selections as chosen by Ms. Springer are a great combination of plant choices and placed properly the garden will be one show piece to admire through out the growing season and even during the winter months. Me. Springer publishes a yearly calendar featuring photographs of MonetÆs garden which located in Giverny France. We have 5 or 6 years of these calendars and looking through them during the winter moths really takes the cold out of the snow lying on the ground outside. Jake |
Ditto Jake's remark about any prior soil "enrichment" or future fertilizing! If grown in the right zone, grasses are an easy asset to any garden. :) Brenda |

Hello mylubbock, I can't say enough about the combo in September of Japanese Blood Grass (Imperata cylindrica var. koenigii 'Red Baron') and the bronzy, dark ruby, evergreen leaves of Evening Primrose (Oenothera). Just lovely!!! Here's a photo to whet your appetite: Best, PP |
Thanks everyone for your encouragement. I do appreciate the feedback. I am very exicited, as I have a good sized area to work with. I feel a little uncreative buying them as a package - but I might mix up the perennials a little. If I get it going, I will send some pictures. |

We are having a drainage issue and are desperately looking for help on how to fix it. When we bought the house, it had a dry creek bed in the back. It never really seemed to work quite right, though, and after a time, there was standing water and algae in it and around it. We had someone out to "fix" it, but that fix only lasted a few months. Now, this is in an very wet spot - we are in the middle of a hill so get some water from uphill. There is water constantly trickling into (and out of) the dry creek bed - the flow just wasn't anything near reasonable enough to prevent standing water and algae. So, we had another company come out and put in a "proper" french drain. It worked OK until a couple weeks ago where we had some torrential rain. Now it is back to having standing water everywhere. We are in the process of taking the rocks out and it is just all gunked up (both the rocks and the lining fabric of the slotted pipe) with algae, mulch, muck, etc., and so the water just isn't flowing. Here are some issues that I see complicating the issue: The guy who installed our french drain is not being exceptionally response and I think just wants to avoid doing more work. We don't mind fixing this ourselves but at this point have no idea about what would work. Taking most of the rocks, and the pipe, out of the creek bed so it's more like a gully/stream that can just flow down the hill? Connecting the french drain slotted pipe directly to the drain even though it "may clog it up"? Regrading that last foot? Turn the whole thing into a pond (only sort of kidding)? Or do we just need to clean it out several times a year? Ahhhhhh. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Back up and show the whole thing insofar as how it relates to the back yard and house. Try to show the overall lay of the land. Then show how the grading of your yard fits within all the properties that surround it. |
Here's a pic during winter that shows the area. Left end is where the drain is. For our yard vs. others, we are in the middle of a hill. Back yard slopes towards house, front yard towards street. Left neighbor (same side as french drain) slightly higher, right neighbor slightly lower. |
Can we clearly identify the original source of water and show where it enters your property? Is it coming from a natural or man made source? |
Natural. It comes from the woods on the other side of the fence. Where the beginning of the creek bed is (on the right, black arrow) is a slight low point and so it congregates there, and get collected by the dry creek bed. There is also a ton of ground water that is almost constantly trickling in at a couple places along the way (via the much on the far side of the creek bed - red arrow is one point, green arrow shows path of the other). The mulch on that side is permanently wet, which I am fine with and will plant appropriately. |
Seems like the main objective would be to bring the drain pipe to a single low point where the water is collected, so I don't understand why the separate pipe in a sock and the gap between it and the drain. Also, seems like you would be better off if the collection point were a larger catch basin and larger grate. I think that all the rock is an impediment to creating a clean, simple solution and that you would be better off if working only with regular soil. |
First, thanks for taking the time to help us out on this! I agree with the pipe/drain gap, which is why we thought originally that the pipe should/would connect directly to the drain (but, as I said, the landscaping guy said that then more sediment could get in the drain?). I don't think a larger grate would readily do the trick - the water level rarely reaches the level of the grate (which is elevated off of the "bottom" of the trench. It enters the drain primarily through those holes drilled in the side, as I mentioned. So you think the water would move well enough through soil? I thought in general that rocks were better at moving water quickly - hence the commonality of dry creek beds, surrounding french drains in gravel, etc.? |
No. The objective is not to get water to move THROUGH soil. Let the water flow at grade to the logical collection point. That's where the water should enter the grate. Below the grate should be a collection "box" (could be plastic; could be concrete). Inside the box is the pipe inlet set just a little higher than the bottom (so there is room for sediment to collect, which is periodically cleaned out.) I said larger grate so that it isn't constantly being clogged by debris. What you have now seems messy and troublesome to me. The basic premise: |

Store your sweet memories and messages in the Chocolate flash drive
It has been quite a long time that we discussed about any flash drive with a crazy design. This time it isn't that crazy but no doubt mouthwatering! From calculators to mouse to pillows, the chocolate bar design was just everywhere, so it isn't that surprising to have a USB flash drive in that form as well.

Correct your posture in front of screen with USB Vision and Posture Alert Reminder
It's a known fact that long hours in front of the computer tends people to develop either one or the more physical problems. When immersed into loads of work people get reluctant with their own health and such issues eventually take a back seat. Hence here's a gadget that will alert you to correct your vision and posture with flashing LEDs while working in front of the screen.
Reminders get digital with Digital Video Fridge Magnet
To sum up there were a lot of interesting looking magnets [ cell, iPhoneicons, Mario] which could be used to decorate surfaces like the fridge door or even hold up little paper notes [like rocking switch]. So when this combination of magnets and messages goes digital it results in a Digital Video Fridge Magnet, that is capable of displaying recorded messages with just a push of a button.

This is one of those interesting USB gadgets that quite for a few users might want to try. Check out the USB Mirror Webcam that integrates a web cam for video conferencing as well as a mirror with 24 LEDs surrounded. "When you turn the LED lights on, your face will look brighter and prettier. It can also be used as a spy web came since it looks like a normal desk mirror more than a webcam."
Penguin Mouse looks ready for Winter
It's been some time that we came across some amusing mouse device. After all the designs we have seen so far [egg, chocolate, arcinasianstyle, heart] you can very much expect a penguin replica. So here is one that looks like an amazed penguin in a red muffler ready to do some surfing. It is called the USB Wireless Penguin Mouse and is available in four different colors.

Does anyone wear this with something besides or in addition to a bra? I've got no idea how to wear it!!
Oh hun you have plenty of options! For starters a straight racer-back sports bra would work. Or a tank with a built in bra. Of course there is the 'ol stand by the traditional bra with some adjustable straps (I know Victoria Secret makes a few)
This shirt is cool, comfortable, and extremely flattering. I absolutely love it.
Cha Cha
not the best fit
the bottom opening is big. this tank is definitely on the looser side, but its not unbearable!
This top is totally badass. I can't wait to wear it out!
Bad fit
I am 5'2" tall and the arm holes were huge. I liked the length and material but returned it. It was not flattering on me. If you are taller it may fit you better, but it is not for someone on the shorter side of things.

Hi, Ashley...I am looking for 3 and 4 inch used nursery pots...how many do you have? I know from previous trades that 25 to 50 can be put into a good-sized parcel post box and shipped economically. A lesser number than that raises the costs considerably.... I have a lot of the things that you listed since I run a small growing operation...however, also from experience, a lot of those items do not prove to be an economical trade due to the shipping costs...but I also have any number of items for growing cuttings such as fine clippers, hormone power and fish oil..and I am pretty sure that I have a bulb digger. But I also have an extensive listing of plants that I sell on-line and I would be happy to send the lists to you via email...most of my plants are perennial to zone 8, 8b and 9... My direct email is email@example.com...and the list for me on this site is highly out of date and inaccurate. Thanks, MaryAnn |

Dear Ty Lawson,
We get it. The Lakers are terrible. First, they lost to the Clippers on Thursday by a whopping 48. Then last night in Denver, you made Lakers guard Jodie Meeks FALL DOWN ON HIS ASS with an ill crossover dribble.
The video above (which was posted by the NBA's official account) shows the move from every angle imaginable.
This isn't the first time you clowned the boys in purple in gold. Last year you talked serious trash to our cameras after beating the Lakers in Los Angeles.
Please, the citizens of Los Angeles beg of you ... take it easy on our boys next time.
'Christmas Story' Star
Hits Miracle Half Court Shot
... Wins Nothing
Scott Schwartz -- who played the kid who got his tongue frozen stuck to a pole in "A Christmas Story" -- hit an UNBELIEVABLE half-court shot at a Denver Nuggets game ... and all he got was a lousy t-shirt.
Schwartz -- who also starred as the spoiled brat in the Richard Prior classic "The Toy" -- was brought on to the court Tuesday as a celebrity guest to goof around with the Nuggets mascot during a break in the action.
Things started off with the mascot sinking a crazy over the back half-court shot ... and then he handed the rock to Schwartz -- who NAILED a Kareem-style hook shot!!
Unfortunately, the shot wasn't a part of a contest ... so he didn't win anything (though Schwartz says the Nuggets were nice enough to give him a t-shirt and a cranberry juice).
Scott tells TMZ Sports ... there was NO WAY he thought he'd sink the shot on the first try -- but says, "I was always an athlete."
Nice shot.
Denver Nuggets Mascot
... While Being Lowered From Rafters
Denver Nuggets mascot Rocky the Mountain Lion's motionless body was lowered from the Pepsi Center ceiling last night before their home opener ... but the big mystery is why.
The plan called for Rocky to be lowered from the rafters with a spotlight on him ... but when his descent to the floor began -- Rocky didn't move a muscle ... and instantly collapsed when he touched the ground.
According to reports ... the guy in the suit was checked out right after and walked off the court on his own, but so far ... the team has been hush-hush on what happened.
Good news -- the team should have Rocky back for their next game.
Bad news -- the team got their asses kicked by the Blazers.
NBA Star Ty Lawson
On Dom. Violence Arrest:
'Ashley's My Baby'
Denver Nuggets superstar Ty Lawson tells TMZ ... everything is HUNKY DORY between him and his pregnant GF Ashley King ... despite the fact they were both arrested for domestic violence last weekend.
"That's my baby," Lawson told us last night on his way out of Sound nightclub in L.A.
As we previously reported, Lawson is accused of pushing King (an ex-member of the "Bad Girls Club") ... and King is accused of trying to break Lawson's phone during an explosive argument at his Denver home.
The two spent 3 days in jail ... (did we mention King is PREGNANT?) ... but have patched things up and insist they are committed to moving forward with their relationship.
Both Lawson and King are due in front of a judge on Friday to be arraigned -- and Lawson tells us he's looking forward to his day in court.
Ty Lawson & Ashley King
Arrest Was a Mistake ...
We're Working It Out
Denver Nuggets player Ty Lawson and his girlfriend say their domestic violence arrests this past weekend were a GIANT misunderstanding -- and they're still together.
Ty and "Bad Girls Club" star Ashley King spent 3 days in jail after being arrested Saturday morning for domestic violence, stemming from a fight at Ty's Denver home.
Now sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... they simply had a bad night and the arrest was a misunderstanding. They are back at home, still together and focused on moving forward.
Ty and Ashley are due back in court Friday for their arraignment -- when they're hoping to put the entire case behind them.
Ty Lawson's Preggo GF
He Shoved Me
Before Arrest
Denver Nuggets star Ty Lawson allegedly shoved his pregnant girlfriend before he was arrested for domestic violence on Saturday, this according to the police report -- but the girlfriend was arrested too.
According to the report, police were called to Lawson's Denver home around 9AM Saturday morning in response to a report of a domestic argument involving Lawson and his gf Ashley Pettiford -- aka Ashley King from "Bad Girls Club" -- who is six months pregnant.
When they arrived, Pettiford was crying, and explained that she and Lawson had been arguing because she overheard him talking to another woman on his phone the night before.
She told police she tried to pack her things to leave Lawson because she'd had enough, but he stopped her and pushed her onto their bed. She says she responded by throwing his phone and breaking it. Lawson then allegedly grabbed her phone and dunked it under water.
Pettiford said she knew her baby was okay despite the incident because she felt it moving afterward, but Lawson was still placed under arrest on suspicion of domestic violence, as well as criminal mischief (for throwing Pettiford's phone) and harassment.
Pettiford was arrested for criminal mischief (for destroying Lawson's phone) and domestic violence. They have both since been released on $1,000 bond.
NBA Star Kenneth Faried
Let's Talk About My Giant ...
Sex Organ
NBA Star Kenneth Faried
My Dong Is
OK ... this video is INSANE -- but in a good way ... a way that's going to make you laugh, make you shake your head, laugh again ... and then wonder, "What the hell did I just watch?"
The star of the video is Denver Nuggets superstar Kenneth Faried -- who also happens to be on the cover of the ESPN body issue ... the one with all the naked athletes.
The 23-year-old was leaving Lure nightclub in Hollywood last night -- and seemed a little boozy (but in a playful way) ... when things quickly spun out of control.
First -- our guy had no idea who Kenneth was (so Kenneth messed with him and told him he's a soccer player ... pretty funny).
As Kenneth continues to mess with our guy, one of the NBA star's friends whips out the ESPN mag ... and our photog finally puts 2 and 2 together. It's hilarious.
And that's when the REAL fun begins ... with our photog asking about the naked photo shoot:
Photog: Were you nervous in the nude?
Kenneth: No! My d**k is big!!!
Kenneth then holds up the cover and starts musing on and on about his physique ... "I'm a SEXY INDIVIDUAL. Look at that s**t. You see that s**t? Look at them yams! Look at them abs!"
KF also says he's down to do Playgirl ... but there's a catch.
The best part of the encounter ... Kenneth took the responsible route home -- and got into a waiting SUV.
Love this guy.
NBA Star JaVale McGee
I've Got a RIDDLE for You!!!!
The only thing Denver Nuggets star JaVale McGee likes more than a goofy outfit ... IS A GREAT RIDDLE ... and last night, he challenged TMZ to a quality brainteaser right on the street!
Here's the deal ... McGee was leaving Crustacean in L.A. last night when one of our photogs hit up the 7-footer with a bunch of random, weird questions ... like, "How much would your $44 million contract weigh in gold bars?"
McGee didn't like the fact he didn't know the answer ... so he totally turned the tables -- and asked a riddle of his own!
The whole exchange is pretty funny ... our photog's a goofball, JaVale's a goofball -- turned out to be a pretty hilarious encounter.
Denver Nuggets Star
Lakers Suck!!!!
The Los Angeles Lakers STINK ... THEY SUCK ... NOT GOOD ... this according to someone who would know, Denver Nuggets star Ty Lawson.
Just a few hours after Ty and the Nuggets beat up the Lake Show in L.A. last night, Lawson celebrated in Hollywood ... and talked some serious trash about the purple and gold.
"We bust they ass," Lawson said ... adding, "I told Kobe, we gonna bust they ass and they gonna deal with it ... Easy work!"
But when it came to that OTHER team from L.A., Lawson gave props where props were due -- "The Clippers are dope as hell, I ain't gonna lie."
Nuggets Tried to Put
Words in Our Mouth
It looks like the only person who doesn't know Vince McMahon hates the owner of the Denver Nuggets is the owner of the Denver Nuggets -- and the proof is in an unreleased press release we just got our mitts on.
Before a deal had been made regarding the stadium dispute, the unreleased draft was written by Kroenke Sports and submitted to the WWE for their approval to send out to the media. It contained the following pre-written, butt-kissing, "quote" from Vince McMahon -- a quote Vince claims he never, ever said:
"By all accounts, Mr. Kroenke is one of the most respected professional sports team owners in the world, and the professional way he and his staff good-naturedly handled this conflict gives further testament to the type of business leader he is. We look forward to Sunday's WWE event and future events at the Pepsi Center."
We all know Vince had different things to say about Kroenke.
LaLa -- Racist Mavericks Fans Attacked Me First
Carmelo Anthony's fiance LaLa Vazquez has released a statement claiming racial taunts and violent threats from Dallas Mavericks fans incited her at last night's NBA playoff game:
"Obviously the play-off games bring out the best and the worst in fans but what happened on Monday night with the racial slurs/threats, verbal attacks on my son and physical attacks to myself by irate fans was unacceptable. The fans were totally out of control.
What the cameras captured was me defending myself and didn't show the abuse that was taking place."
Footage shot at last night's game showed LaLa cursing and getting hostile as security tried to escort her out of the stands.
The Mavs and the Nugs are set to face off again tomorrow night.

(Adds analyst comment in third paragraph.)
Dec. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Investors withdrew $1.2 billion from global funds in the week to Dec. 7, the fifth consecutive week of net sales, while money flowed into emerging-market funds for the first time in four weeks, Citigroup Inc. said, citing data from fund researcher EPFR Global.
The MSCI World Index of developed-nation equities fell 1.1 percent during the week after Standard & Poor's said it was placing the 15 euro nations on review for possible credit-rating downgrades, and before European leaders began a summit to tackle two years of debt-driven turmoil. The MSCI Emerging-Markets Index gained 3.3 percent in the five days through Dec. 7.
"Investors remained cautious to slightly negative throughout the week on the possible outcome of the EU summit," Yue Hin Pong, one of the Citigroup analysts cited in today's report, wrote in an e-mail.
Euro-area leaders meeting in Brussels may agree to provide 150 billion euros ($201 billion) in loans through the International Monetary Fund to shore up European finances, a European Union diplomat said. Germany hasn't taken a public stance on the proposal. Chancellor Angela Merkel has insisted that the rest of Europe first bow to tighter rules on budget deficits in order to reassure central bankers about the euro region's longer-term economic health.
Emerging Markets
Emerging-market funds had inflows of $400 million, analysts led by Markus Rosgen wrote in the report dated today.
Developing-nation stocks will outperform those of developed countries next year as monetary policy becomes more "accommodative," Dominic Rossi, Fidelity's global chief investment officer for equities, said in a report e-mailed yesterday. Citigroup Inc. said in a report dated Dec. 7 developing-market shares may advance about 28 percent by the end of 2012.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index lost 1.4 percent to 934.48 at 11:20 a.m. Singapore time. The gauge has fallen 19 percent this year, compared with an 8.5 percent decline in the MSCI World Index of developed countries.
Bond funds focused on emerging markets took in $163 million in the week ended Dec. 7, Barclays Capital said, citing data from EPFR Global. Dollar-denominated notes attracted the majority of the inflows at $134 million, while local-currency securities had $84.3 million.

Here are my thoughts at first glance. I'm not an expert, I just enjoy thinking about processes/flow. :) 1. The family entrance through the garage is through a tight laundry room. There is no where for you to put your coats/shoes/purse/etc, and nowhere for you to sit down while putting on or taking off shoes. The only place I can imagine this working is Phoenix in a home with all ceramic floors where you wear shoes inside the house. 2. When you enter your sanctuary, the first thing you'll see is dirty laundry. You deserve something a little more special. :) 3. Your guest entrance has a closet and no where for guests to sit while putting on/taking off shoes. It's actually a LOT like my current house's entry, which we HATE. I do not like guest coat closets--I think a bench with a wall of hooks are more guest-friendly. 4. I would pick ONE entrance onto the deck (probably the dining room one). Every entry point will be an entry for dirt/debris. 5. I'm not sure I would spend the money having windows on the side of the garage. It depends on where you live, but I have noticed that in my parents garage with windows, flies get in, then bang their heads endlessly on the windows trying to get out. My garage has no windows (not even on the doors) so the flies are able to escape through the same spots of light through which they entered. Kind of a random observation, but it is SO nice to never have flies in the garage (which means we have a lot fewer in the house as well). 6. Is that a fireplace or a TV in the great room? If it's a fireplace, think about where you will put a TV. I don't know anyone who enjoys watching a TV mounted over a fireplace because the angle is so awkward. I do know some people who simply don't watch TV, so they have the furniture arranged to stare at the fireplace. That's charming, but just not realistic for us because we are movie fans. :) 7. I like your kitchen work triangle (prep area, sink, stove). That's how I cook, with just one trip to the fridge/pantry at the beginning of the recipe. I see that you do NOT have a pantry. Will you do a cabinet-focused pantry? I love the look and functionality of those, but they are either inefficient OR you spend a lot of money designing them to use the space efficiently. |
Try to take your second one (I think it feels more spacious) and do this rearrangement: Take out the stairs, and expand the bathroom into that space. Include your laundry in this room. Move the stairs to the right side of the foyer taking some of the space of the coat closet and the laundry room. See if that fits for you. The goal: You still are turning your stairs to under the bathtub. That just simply won't work. A tub bottom is not forgiving when it comes to shaping headroom for the stairs... |
- Posted by lavender_lass (My Page) on Mon, Jun 11, 12 at 14:41
I like this last plan, but you shouldn't have the door to the basement stairs, swinging into the stair area. If you added just a bit more room, you could have a pocket door. I would move the laundry back into this space (where you have the closet) and make this your laundry room, again. The hall bath could be a bit smaller (keep the door with side lights...it looks great!) and put the closet where you hve the toilet now. I really like the bigger kitchen island, but I'd think about putting the pantry on the other side of the fridge and adding a corner sink to your layout, where you have the pantry. It's nice to have water closer to the fridge and it would be handy to the range, too. Just an idea :) |
What is your actual dimension, right now, for the bath/laundry. (and yes, you can easily get them enclosed in a closet.) Also, your placement for the stairs isn't really what I was thinking. Not sure if it would work, but you can decide that. I was thinking to have them run "N-S" (top to bottom, in this drawing, assuming N is top here), and put them along the foyer right wall/garage left wall. Remind me, upstairs? or downstairs only? |
- Posted by minneapolisite (My Page) on Mon, Jun 11, 12 at 17:02
Aha! Since you're in Arizona your entry points make more sense. My parents have a vacation home outside of Phoenix and we all wear our shoes inside there. They don't have a good spot for coats/shoes/bench and I've never even noticed. :) |
You have room in the bathroom/laundry to put the toilet next to the bath where you have the linen drawn--privatizing it a little. Then, you can have a larger vanity cabinet if you'd like with countertop (a little more room for folding if you want). Or, keep the linen closet and have that function for some laundry functions (ironing, etc). Is there a reason you are wanting to use a single double door for the garage instead of 2 single doors? Using 2 single doors might solve your "off center" problem and also be more functional. |
Thanks, Kirkhall. I hadn't thought about two garage doors. Do you think the stairs work there with access from the entry? I think 15 feet is allowed, but would need space at the top to start down the stairs. |
I'm not a stair length expert, but I do like this general placement better than your others. |

When nominee Nicole Kidman (Rabbit Hole) and Keith first met, Nicole realized this country crooner could really rule her heart. Just a few years later, and they're married with children.

Session Woes
I'm using sessions in my PHP web app. When someone logs into my system, I store their username in a session var.
I have one person who when logging in, seems to lose the session data held in that $_SESSION["php_username"] var. Further debugging reveals that her browser is not holding any session vars.
Everyone is accessing the same php code. Why would almost everyone else be able to login and use my site and this person can't login because she is losing all of the session var data? I'm puzzled.
Thanks for any help...

It'll be because their local security settings are wiping the session/cookies (like Firefox and other modern browsers do on closing if you want them to). If they're the only person this happens to, its a userside issue.
That being said, if their system seems to store cookies ok (though if its losing sessions...), one thing you can do is store the data as a cookie and session, and revalidate both each page (more queries, but greater security IMO, though someone else might know why its not a good idea).

This is something we generally have to choose how to handle as well. For any non-secure site, I'd recommend allowing cookies to be disabled.
Using the SID constant, you can make the determination if their browser is rejecting cookies. This cannot accomodate loss of cookies of course, only inability to set them.
To use this, you need to apply SID to all your links like so:
As you can see, this becomes a little on the complex side when regarding current flat URL's with already existing querystrings. This can be handled by using parse_url and http_build_query instead.PHP Code:
$sURL = 'http://somelocation.com/somepage.php';
if (!empty(SID))
$sURL .= '?' . SID;
Alternatively, you can pull the lazy route (which if I use the builtin session I usually do >.<), and enable your session.use_trans_sid. This is an ini_all directive, so you can simply add it to the top of your page:
PHP Code:
ini_set('session.use_only_cookies', false);
ini_set('session.use_trans_sid', true);
// do some stuffs.
echo 'Home';
// Result:
Home
Been gone for a few months, and haven't programmed in that long of a time. Meh, I'll wing it ;)PHP Code:

Hewlett International Grant Program
Deadlines: September 15
February 28
(In the event a deadline falls on a weekend or a university holiday, the deadline will be the next work day.)
See below for application form and procedure
The Hewlett International Grant Program is intended to help Pitt faculty in the development or completion of international projects. "International" is defined as relating to another country or culture, comparative analysis covering more than one country or culture, studies of international relations or of transnational activities, or studies which examine global issues. In addition, Hewlett International grants may support the participation of Pitt faculty in conferences abroad, regardless of discipline or topic. Hewlett International Grant proposals are reviewed by an interdisciplinary faculty committee, and the program is competitive. Grants are awarded twice per year.
Full-time and part time tenure-stream, tenured and non tenure-stream faculty (including lecturers and contract faculty) at the University of Pittsburgh from all Schools and Departments, Centers, Institutes and Campuses are eligible to submit a proposal. Applicants who are affiliated with one or more UCIS centers are required to have submitted a completed UCIS-Affiliated Faculty Survey Form. Adjunct, visiting and emeritus faculty members are not eligible.
In the case of conference travel, the applying faculty must be a presenter at the conference or workshop in order to qualify for funding.
Important: Only one application for UCIS central funds per project and faculty member is allowed. Dual grant applications for the same project to different central UCIS grant programs are not permitted. Only one Hewlett International award per faculty and fiscal year (July 1 to June 30) is allowed.
Amount of Grant

Level One: Small Grants (Fall & Spring)
Awards typically range between $500 and $1,500, and rarely exceed $1,500.
Level Two: Larger Grants (Fall & Spring)
For projects requiring a somewhat larger effort, awards of up to $3,500 may be made.
Because of the limited availability of funds, smaller requests in the Level One and Level Two grant categories may be more likely to be funded.
Level Three: Major Impact Grant (Spring only)
One grant per year will be awarded for a project that demonstrates an impact on the international profile of the University of Pittsburgh, either through research, teaching, curriculum development or the development of publications. Awards of up to $5,000 may be made. Note: Conference Travel related to the presentation of a paper is not eligible for a Major Impact Grant; however, organization of a national or international conference or workshop on an international topic is an eligible activity. Applications for the Major Impact Grant are accepted only during the spring competition (deadline February 28); please use the Major Impact Grant application form.

Many browser plug-ins (specifically Firefox and Chrome) do not render the form on their own. If you receive a message telling you to "Please wait," please do one of the following:
- Disable your browser's built-in PDF plug-in.
- Chrome: Go to chrome://plugins and click the Disable link under Chrome PDF Viewer
- Firefox: In the browser options, (In Windows, go to the orange Firefox menu and select Options; In OS X, go to the Firefox menu and select Preferences) click on Applications, and check the list for Portable Document Format (PDF). Change the action from "Preview in Firefox" to "Use Adobe Reader".
- Download the file to your desktop, (for most browsers, this involves right-clicking the application form link and choosing Save Link As...), start Adobe Reader, and open the file from within the program.
The application form will allow you to copy and paste an 1100 word proposal that you prepare in a word processor. Save the form, renaming it to include your last name, first name, and the grant period for which you are submitting (e.g. smith-john-hewlett-fall-2014.pdf). Email the form as an attachment, along with supporting materials (airline or lodging quotes, research clearance from the Institutional Review Board, conference acceptance) to firstname.lastname@example.com. Do not attach your CV. Applications will be reviewed by committee. Awardees will be notified approximately three weeks after the deadline.
Fall Deadline: September 15
Spring Deadline: February 28
(In the event a deadline falls on a weekend or a university holiday, the deadline will be the next work day.)

With two leading fitness concepts working in parallel, it's going to be double the fun and the benefit for moms, ladies and children, as The Little Gym-the world's premier developer of motor skills for children worldwide-will simultaneously open its first facility next door.
Ladies and little ones alike can go far away from the hurly-burly side of Cairo to enjoy rejuvenating classes where they can experience brand-new workout approaches.
"In today's fast-paced lives where health often takes a backseat, its time one should begin to give their bodies their due," said Mariam Draz, Jazzercise Egypt General Manager.
"With its internationally certified instructors and a new site taking up to 30 women, Jazzercise provides a brand-new approach about fitness and the well-being of its members. Whether your goal is to burn fat, tone or add muscle, build strength, increase flexibility or improve your cardiovascular health, only Jazzercise has that powerfully fun, encouraging atmosphere and experience you need."
Choreographed to today's hottest music, Jazzercise programme is a fusion of jazz dance, resistance training, Pilates, yoga, and kickboxing designed to increase cardio fitness, muscle tone and general well-being of people at every age and fitness level.
Side by side, with an age-appropriate curriculum filled with movement, music, learning and serious fun, The Little Gym classes will allow children to play and exercise while boosting their self-confidence, physical, social and intellectual skills.
Ms Hedi Maldonado, The Little Gym Egypt General Manager, highly excited about the launch of the first facility in Egypt, stated: "Meeting devoted parents along with their enthusiastic little ones and listening to their eager questions confirms our belief that that the Egyptian family is definitely interested in trying this new approach of three dimensional learning The Little Gym offers through its curriculum (Get Moving, Brain Boost and Citizen Kid), and has all it takes to challenge their children to strive for their personal best in a positive, nurturing, noncompetitive environment."
Offered at more than 300 locations worldwide, The Little Gym's programs help children aged 19 months to 12 years develop motor skills in a fun, non-competitive environment while simultaneously enhancing their cognitive and social skills.

Louis C.K. and Conan O'Brien Reminisce About the Good Old Days
In addition to sharing that incredible photo which features a much younger O'Brien, Louis, Andy Richter, Bob Odenkirk and Robert Smigel, the two joked about hard times at the show.
As he was the show's only guest, Louis and Conan had nearly unlimited time to talk about whatever they wanted. Which is how this story about why Louis won't let his daughters have cell phones came to be. It's funny, biting and melancholy, as only Louis C.K. can pull off.
He also talked about one time he hit on Gwyneth Paltrow. Spoiler alert: it does not go well.
