LONDON -- For a hamburger that cost more than $300,000, you might expect fries and a shake too.
But this is no ordinary burger. At a public tasting in London on Monday, scientists are prepared to serve up the first hamburger grown in a laboratory from stem cells of cattle.
Mark Post, whose team at Maastricht University in the Netherlands developed the burger after five years of research, hopes making meat in labs could eventually help solve the food crisis and fight climate change.
But Post says success doesn't hinge on science. "For the burger to succeed it has to look, feel and taste like the real thing," he said.
The burger, to be served to two volunteers, was made from cow muscle cells from two organic cows. The resulting patty will be seasoned with salt, egg powder, breadcrumbs, red beet juice and saffron.
Post and colleagues took muscle cells from a cow and put them into a nutrient solution to help them develop into muscle tissue. The muscle cells grew into small strands of meat, and it takes nearly 20,000 strands to make one 140 gram (5 ounce) burger.
The project cost 250,000 euros ($332,000).
"I'm a vegetarian but I would be first in line to try this," said Jonathan Garlick, a stem cell researcher at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston. He has used similar techniques to make human skin but wasn't involved in the burger research.
Experts say other ways of producing meat are needed to satisfy growing carnivorous appetites without exhausting resources. By 2050, the Food and Agriculture Organization predicts global meat consumption will double as more people in developing countries can afford it. Breeding animals destined for the dinner table takes up about 70 percent of all agricultural land.
The animal rights group PETA has thrown its support behind the lab-meat initiative.
"As long as there's anybody who's willing to kill a chicken, a cow or a pig to make their meal, we are all for this," said Ingrid Newkirk, PETA's president and co-founder. "Instead of the millions and billions (of animals) being slaughtered now, we could just clone a few cells to make burgers or chops."
If the burger doesn't taste right, some scientists said the flavor can easily be tweaked.
"Taste is the least (important) problem since this could be controlled by letting some of the stem cells develop into fat cells," said Stig Omholt, director of biotechnology at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences. Adding fat to the burgers this way would probably be healthier than getting it from naturally chunky cows, Omholt said.
Even if Monday's taste test is positive, it will probably be years before such burgers hit the market.
"The first (lab-made) meat products are going to be very exclusive," said Isha Datar, director of New Harvest, an international non-profit that promotes meat alternatives. "These burgers won't be in Happy Meals before someone rich and famous is eating it."

Captain America: The Winter Soldier took the top spot at the Brazilian box office with a $6.9 million debut from 486 screens, registering the only five figure per-screen average of the weekend.
Noah settled for a $4.8 million weekend in its first hold. The Biblical epic is a huge hit in Brazil, where it has already grossed $17.3 million.
Rio 2 finished the weekend one step short of reaching the $20 million mark. The animated sequel grossed $2.5 million to take third place in the market during its third weekend of release.
Captain America: The Winter Solider recorded the fourth biggest April debut of all time in Brazil over the weekend. The superhero sequel collected $6.9 million from its Brazilian bow, taking first place in the country with 45% of the market share. The previous Captain America film also took a $6.9 million debut from Brazil en route to its $21.2 million lifetime total in the market.
Noah reached a $17.6 million cume in Brazil after only 10 days in release. The Biblical epic took a 45% slide from last weekend's strong debut, registering a $5.1 million weekend tally from 490 cinemas.
Rio 2 added $2.2 million from 914 screens in its third weekend in Brazil, taking the film's local cume up to $18.9 million. The film will be looking to keep up the pace in the coming weeks in order to match or surpass the original's $43.4 million blockbuster run in the country.
Noah enjoyed the fourth biggest opening weekend of all time for a non-sequel in Brazil with an $8.5 million bow from 528 locations. The result is over five times the opening gross of Inception and nearly five times that of Gravity.

iTMS Sells 100,000,000th Song
Re:I remember... (432 comments)
Amen. I don't know when DRM became cool but I know who did it, Apple. It seems like freedoms don't matter much when the packaging is so shiny and new. For everyone's talk about free software around here, it seems most of them are just repeating what gnu.org says in between iTunes purchases. DRM has all the same problems it's had before, people just trust Apple to make it okay. Well look at it like this, they've sold 100 million songs, where has it gotten us? They haven't loosened restrictions and fought for artists rights, they increased restrictions and the artists are still getting the same bad deals. The record labels told Apple to roll over and they did. I don't know how long people are going to keep trusting them to "make it better". Or maybe chains are acceptable if they're shiny enough....when DRM was generally considered a bad thing here (remember "fair use"?). Now people get blasted for being "ungrateful" if they criticise Apple's use of DRM (just read some of the comments to this [slashdot.org] story).

Protect yourself from these common hazards
Is your grill right next to the edge of your deck? You may want to move it. A charcoal grill next to combustibles (say, a wooden deck rail or low-hanging tree branches) is a leading cause of BBQ fires, according to the National Fire Protection Association.
Easy Fix: Always make sure to leave a 10-foot clearing between your grill and deck rails, the side of the house, and overhanging plants, says David Markenson, MD, chairman of the American Red Cross Advisory Council on First Aid and Safety. (Get more grill safety tips for cookouts.)
More than 68,000 people a year are poisoned by plants, reports the American Association of Poison Control Centers. Most end up with nothing worse than an upset stomach or an itchy skin rash. However, some plants can be fatal, especially to pets and small children.
Easy Fix: Do your homework before choosing backyard vegetation, says Amy Stewart, author of Flower Confidential: The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful in the Business of Flowers. (Like reading Prevention's guide to gardening.) A few common plants require caution: Oleander, datura (also called jimson weed), and castor bean are all dangerous if swallowed.
Even the smallest amount of standing water can give mosquitoes a hospitable place to multiply. This raises your risk of annoying bites—and even infections such as West Nile virus. "I've seen mosquitoes breeding in a soda bottle cap," says Joseph Conlon, technical advisor for the American Mosquito Control Association.
Easy Fix: Do a weekly check of buckets and plastic covers and dump any water to keep pests away. Also change the water in birdbaths and fountains.
Tossing still-warm coals can spark a fire. Charcoal may feel cool to the touch, but if you throw away coals while the insides are hot, you risk starting a fire.
Easy Fix: When you've finished grilling dinner, soak coals with cold water and then place them in a noncombustible metal can for safe disposal. Keep the can on a nonflammable surface, such as the driveway or a cement patio.
According to the Home Safety Council, nearly a quarter of all drownings in the United States happen near home. Even if your kids are older, consider this: Easy access to your pool may lure neighborhood children or pets into the water when you're not around.
Easy Fix: Whether your pool is built in or above ground, install a four-sided fence that is at least 5 feet high, with a self-latching gate. Don't use the house as one side of the fence, because an open door provides an easy entry, and never place patio furniture close enough to the fence that it could be used to scale the barrier. (Here's how else you can stay safe in the pool.)
Misusing these bug-killing chemicals may make you sick. Homeowners often use too many pesticides—conventional or natural—or apply them incorrectly, says Jennifer Sass, PhD, a senior scientist with the Natural Resources Defense Council. This not only wastes money but, in extreme cases, allows chemical levels to get high enough to cause flulike symptoms, she adds.
Easy Fix: Cut down on pests naturally by attracting birds and insects that eat the bugs that are attacking your prized roses. Install a birdhouse designed for bluebirds, which feed on insects. Or grow plants—such as those in the parsley and sunflower families—that attract predatory insects such as assassin bugs and parasitic wasps. Despite their ominous-sounding names, these critters do your garden good; predatory insects don't hurt plants or people but destroy the bugs that do. Growing plants native to your region, which are less susceptible to infestation, can help, too, advises Kimberly Rider, author of The Healthy Home Workbook.

When was the last time you water-proofed your deck? If you don't do this every 2 to 3 years, moisture can seep in and warp the wood, upping your risk of falls.
Easy Fix: Inspect your deck every spring, paying extra attention to the ledger board, the place where the deck attaches to the house—it's the most vulnerable to water damage. Keep your eyes peeled for splits and cracks—signs that moisture has gotten in. If you can easily penetrate ¼ to ½ inch of the wood with a screwdriver or ice pick, the wood should be replaced.
This tempts you to overreach—and increases your risk of falling. Use a ladder that lets you work while standing four steps from the top. Your max reach should be no more than 4 feet above the ladder.
Easy Fix: Translation: If you're going up 8 feet, choose a ladder that's at least 4 feet high. Always follow the 4-to-1 rule: For every 4 feet the ladder extends up the house, bring the base out by a foot. "This gives you stability," says Meri-K Appy, president of the Home Safety Council.

Background: Flaps based on the ulnar artery have never gained the same popularity as the radial forearm flap, despite several potential advantages. In this article, the authors describe a true ulnar artery perforator flap with perforator mapping.
Methods: Thirty-eight consecutive patients who underwent ulnar artery perforator flap surgery were included in the study. The size, number, and location of perforators were recorded intraoperatively. Preoperative and postoperative grip strength was tested and compared.
Results: One to three cutaneous perforators from the ulnar artery were identified and designated as A, B, and C from distal to proximal. Perforator A was present in 79 percent of cases and located 7.3 ± 1.1 cm from the pisiform. Perforator B was present in 95 percent of cases and located 11.4 ± 1.0 cm from the pisiform. Perforator C was present in 87 percent of cases and located 15.9 ± 1.8 cm from the pisiform. All patients had at least two perforators, and 61 percent had three perforators. All flaps were used for head and neck reconstruction and all were successful. Donor-site morbidity was minor. Grip testing demonstrated a transient decrease in grip strength during the postoperative period, and most recovered to the contralateral level by 3 months.
Conclusions: At least two perforators are present in the ulnar artery perforator flap territory. This flap is reliable and easy to harvest and has minimal donor-site morbidity. It should be considered as an alternative to the radial forearm flap in select patients.

ORBCOMM Inc. (Nasdaq: ORBC), a global satellite data communications company focused on two-way Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications, today announced that the single prototype of its second generation of satellites (OG2), launched as a secondary mission payload on the Cargo Re-Supply Services (CRS-1) mission of October 7, 2012, verified various functionality checkouts prior to its deorbit. The OG2 prototype was deployed into a lower orbit as the result of a pre-imposed safety check required by NASA. The safety check was designed to protect the International Space Station and its crew. Had ORBCOMM been the primary payload on this mission, as planned for the upcoming launches, we believe the OG2 prototype would have reached the desired orbit.
Notwithstanding the shortened life of the OG2 prototype, the OG2 program engineering teams from ORBCOMM, Sierra Nevada Corporation and Boeing made significant strides in testing various hardware components. After telemetry and command capability was established, several critical system verifications were performed. The solar array and communications payload antenna deployments were successful, along with verifying the performance of various components of both the OG2 satellite bus and the communications payload. The OG2 satellite bus systems including power, attitude control, thermal and data handling were also tested to verify proper operation. The unique communications payload, which incorporates a highly reprogrammable software radio with common hardware for both gateway and subscriber messaging, also functioned as expected.
These verification successes achieved from the single prototype satellite validate that the innovative OG2 satellite technology operates as designed before launching the full constellation of OG2 satellites. With this verification data, ORBCOMM can focus on completing and launching the OG2 satellites as the primary mission payloads on two planned Falcon 9 launches, the first in mid-2013 and the second in 2014, directly into their operational orbit.
"We appreciate the complexity and work that SpaceX put into this launch," stated Marc Eisenberg, ORBCOMM's CEO. "SpaceX has been a supportive partner, and we are highly confident in their team and technology."

Why I Miss the Gritty Amateur Beauty of Early Digital Filmmaking
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on February 11, 2014 | Be the First To CommentWhen grassroots production company InDigEnt (Independent Digital Entertainment) quietly shut down in 2006, it marked the end of an era that never really got going. There was a lot of talk about digital filmmaking around the turn of the last century, but this was more from the point of skepticism directed at a burgeoning new means of shooting, not an embrace of new cinematic possibilities. Inexpensive and boundary-pushing indies, then, were the only projects decisively making use of the new portable technologies out of a mix of economic necessity and aesthetic choice. As a result, for a few years at the end of the '90s and the very beginning of the 2000s, a few movies were made that truly look like nothing we've seen before or since. InDigEnt was founded in 1999 under the inspiration of the Dogme 95 and the guerrilla, no-budget pioneering of John Cassavetes. That the name of the company's pseudo-acronym also means "poor" seems self-deprecatingly apt, and not without some frank truth knowing the company's fate. But they produced several films (e.g., Tadpole, Pieces of April, Starting Out in the Evening) that flirted with the boundary between indie and mainstream, perhaps suggesting some potential accessibility of this nascent shooting format. Yet early digital filmmaking was conspicuously marked as something other than what our eyes were used to when entering the movie theater, and therein lied both its promise and its problems.
The Promising Failures of Participatory Cinema
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on April 3, 2012 | Be the First To CommentVeteran filmmaker Paul Schrader, notorious author Bret Easton Ellis, and indie producer Braxton Pope want you to audition for their new film. They're assembling a microbudget feature for the digital distribution market called The Canyons, and they're looking for some fresh new faces to star in it. Is your lack of an agent or non-Los Angeles residence preventing you from getting a fair chance at auditioning for legit films? There's no need to worry, for we live in the 21st century my friend. The Canyons is holding its audition process through Facebook. On the one hand, The Canyons's unique production process makes complete sense. We are no longer, after all, in 2006 when studio producers had an overinvested, experimental Snakes on a Plane-level-interest in Internet culture. In this case, even on a small-budget independent film, the visible gatekeepers still possess power over the participants within the supposedly "democratized" framework of social networking. For a while it seemed that cinema – largely an object particular to 20th century logic – could not adapt to the boundary-destroying, power-shifting implications of the 21st century. Now this seems to no longer be the case. Web distribution (which was little more than a fantasy or an overblown threat to theatrical cinema's hegemony just over a decade ago) is now seen as a conceivable and potentially profitable alternative to traditional film exhibition.

Peoria cop snaps photo of teens posing with bullet-riddled Obama tee
PEORIA, Ariz. - It's the other picture involving President Obama that has Arizonans in hot water.
Just a day ago, it was a picture of Gov. Jan Brewer pointing a finger in the face of President Obama.
But another picture has the Secret Service investigating.
That picture shows several teens, a few of them with guns in hand, holding an Obama t-shirt that is riddled with bullets.
The man who snapped that picture -- is Peoria Sgt. Pat Shearer.
"I think it was more of a political statement. Obviously, it's not like they were going to go out and shoot the president, no."
Shearer tells ABC15.com that he's embarassed, but maintains he would give his life for the president's.
The Secret Service is now investigating.

As discussed in the fifth Menace Epicly Later'd episode which focuses on Fabian, he's had a hard life: brought up in an area rife with gang violence, having served time and dealt with drug addiction, skateboarding has definitely provided him with an escape from that. However acting has also provided him with a similar escape too, and with much lower risks of getting fines. Most of his roles seem to have been typecast from his personal background – acting as a gang member. Perhaps not ideal, it's a much better alternative than being a real one. He's featured in a few TV series' and films but here's a clip from an interesting series called "Goldilocks" that was shot entirely on iPhone's:
Here's Fabian and his Menace teammates in their infamous "20 Shot Sequence" section:

Health advantages of Using Orthopedic Mattresses

 Such equipment incorporate bed room household furniture, mirrors, lightings, and a host of miscellaneous equipment. An interior designer can assist customers to opt for the right bedding components and provide them with the best objects through substantial quality design knowledge companies. For instance, if you are a side sleeper, your shoulders and hips will be more pronounced than when you snooze on your entrance or back. http://bestbedsheets.weebly.com/organic-crib-bedding.html

What You Need To Know

 Mattress time is a sacred time for any parent, and we all know that you're only getting any snooze if they get some slumber as well

 This plastic is PVC or TPU, and it is sealed with an air valve to allow air to enter or escape

 organic crib bedding

 Contemporary sleighs frequently have only a headboard and an open or low footboard

 An vital addition to that is that they are the critical extras in sleeping

 top organic crib bedding

Using Metal Bed Frames in Your Bed room

 After you are done, you can start searching around after you have made a list of all what you need. Available in different hues, shapes and also resources you can pick the right established which satisfies you or makes you relaxed. Although folks don't get rid of their mattresses very often, they take up a ton of room at trash dumps if they are thrown out.

 It is also said that such kind of bedding help in avoiding the growth of dust mites in the bedding. This solution is typically only ounces heavier, but to an ultra-light backpacker this big difference is often enough to make the choice. It is real that some of us in the past have rushed out at the first indicator of spring and bought extensive stripes adorned with orange and pink hibiscus in hopes of bringing a glimpse of the new time into our properties. Here are a number of superb organic crib bedding.

Several Ideas for Purchasing a New Mattress

Metal frames are the most typical type of bed frame available. Generally, it includes dismantling and segregating before they could be made new. What you consider warm and cozy may not have the same result on your friend. The metallic springs that can be found in a variety of mattresses may easily corrode especially when confronted with air and dampness.

 Waterbed frames have to be much better and with higher edges to assist the bodyweight of a waterbed.
Another area where you can possibly get the greatest discounts are in vintage and thrift shops. If your kid is of faculty age maybe you would consider putting a desk in the room. Both will also have patterns and styles on the head and foot boards that make them more interesting.

Can an Orthopaedic Mattress Help a Negative Back

 The result of air pollution in the setting for one single mattress is completely that great that it could go anywhere. In these modern occasions, a great deal of firms are now providing mattress recycling remedies to provide those who are in the hospitality organization which includes resorts. A softer mattress is extremely advised for side sleeping since it can accommodate the natural curves of the physique while keeping the spine correctly aligned.

Clinton Warns Iran of Stricter Sanctions If Engagement Spurned
Share | Email | Print | A A A
By Ali Sheikholeslami
July 8 (Bloomberg) -- Iran*s crackdown on dissent over the June 12
election suggests the leadership may be unwilling to consider curbing
its nuclear ambitions, a position that would prompt the U.S. to call for
tougher international sanctions, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
*Even though we are cautiously pursuing a policy of engagement, we are
doing it with our eyes open,* Clinton said in an interview with
Venezuela*s Globovision network.*We understand that, given the problems
Iran has just demonstrated, it may not be possible -- in which case we
would ask the world to join us in imposing even stricter sanctions on
Iran to try to change the behavior of the regime.*
Hundreds of thousands of opponents of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took
to the streets to protest his re-election, alleging last month*s vote
was rigged. Authorities used force to quell the rallies, arresting
hundreds of activists, many of them supporters of the main election
challenger, former Prime Minister Mir Hossein Mousavi. As many as 20
people were killed, according to state-run media, while Le Figaro
yesterday cited hospital staff members in Tehran as saying at least 92
Ahmadinejad has increased tensions with the West since taking office in
August 2005, pursuing a nuclear program that the U.S. and several major
allies say is a cover for weapons development. Iran says the work is
peaceful and intended to generate electricity. The country is under
three sets of United Nations Security Council sanctions for its refusal
to halt uranium enrichment.
U.S. *Concerned*
*We obviously are concerned about Iran*s regime, the pursuit of nuclear
weapons, which would be very destabilizing in the Middle East and
beyond, the support for terrorism that Iran still pursues,* Clinton said
in the interview, which was televised in Venezuela late yesterday.
The violent suppression of election protests shows that *Iran has not
respected its own democracy,* she said.
Iran*s diplomatic ties have been further strained since the crackdown,
jeopardizing the prospect of talks with the West on the nuclear program.
Nine Iranian employees of the U.K. Embassy in Tehran were arrested after
being accused of fomenting post- election unrest for Britain. The
27-member European Union summoned Iranian ambassadors after a senior
cleric said on July 3 that some of the workers would be tried.
The nuclear program has been portrayed by Ahmadinejad*s administration
as a source of national pride and a necessity for Iran*s progress.
Strategic decisions on the undertaking are ultimately the responsibility
of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who said on July 6 that
meddling over the election result by Western countries will have a
negative impact on their future relations with Iran.
Ahmadinejad hit out at world powers in a televised speech late
yesterday, railing against their *interference and childish acts* and
promising that Iran *will not back down in seeking its deserved position
and rights,* the state-run Fars news agency reported.
The EU has sent envoys to talk with Iran about its nuclear program. The
U.S. severed diplomatic relations with Iran in 1980, after the Islamic
Revolution that brought Shiite Muslim clerics to power.
President Barack Obama urged Iran in a March 20 video message to opt for
peace over *terror or arms* and forge diplomatic ties with the world.
Obama acknowledged there are *serious differences* between the U.S. and
Iran, and said his administration wants to engage in diplomacy that
addresses the *full range of issues* between the nations.

The Hershey Theatre, conceived in 1933 by noted philanthropist and chocolatier Milton S. Hershey, stands as an opulent tribute to the performing arts. Taking architectural cues from Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice, the foyer's towering arches gleam with golden paint and crystal chandeliers. The blue-and-gold mosaic that leads to the main seating area is the masterwork of two German artists who spent two years on its construction. Once inside the theater, audiences might think they've stepped onto the streets of Venice thanks to the atmospheric ceiling, stonework facades, and gondoliers paddling them to their seats. ####Bethel Woods Center for the Arts Music has permeated the 800 manicured acres where the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts has stood since 1969, when farmer Max Yasgur agreed to let love, peace, and harmony grow wild at the very first Woodstock festival. These days, the renowned outdoor venue and cultural center continues to attract the biggest acts in music to its pavilion stage. The open-air design ensures ample ventilation on the natural sloping lawn, and a roof protects up to 15,000 fans from inclement weather and the prying eyes of Cessna pilots.
Visit the Houston Symphony for an eventful night you will never forget. The talented symphony's stage is set inside the historic and grand Jones Hall. The Houston Symphony puts on a variety of high quality performances throughout the year. Before the performance begins join the free Prelude Pre-concert for a chat with the conductor or a guest speaker. Then get ready to view a spectacular performance that will enrich as well as inspire. After the show dine at the superb in-hall restaurant. Order from their menu that includes table-side grilled Panini sandwiches and a hand tossed gourmet salad station.
The intimate venue known today as City Theatre opened its doors in 1993 as the Second City Detroit. Renamed in 2004, the space still hews to the comedy troupe's mission with a packed schedule of thigh-slapping theatrical performances. The stage is located inside the Hockeytown Café, where the entertainment is supplemented by a menu of beer, buffalo wings, and deep-fried pucks.

- Incredibly densely pigmented. Only use a tiny amount!
- This lasts all day (on me), with only very slight fading.
- Can be used as a face highlight, too.
- not as stark as a pure white colour.
- no visible glitter particles, just a very powerful shimmer.
- sturdy packaging, which can clip into a Bobbi Brown customisable palette.
- high price, although this will last years due to the intense colour pay-off.

Initially, I was looking for a highlighting colour to replace my MAC pro longwear eyeshadow in Carefree. And this turned out to become my favourite eyeshadow of all that I own.
Beautiful colour of a silvery yellow, not really a yellow, I think it would absolutely suit everybody, any skintone. The shimmer is very delicate, and it is not this in your face shimmer, but just a subtle amount of sheen that transfers really nicely. I use this every time I do an eyeshadow look just as a base, and as a highlihter as well.
The quality of this eyeshadow is also amazing: it doesn't crease, goes on smoothly and it is very comfortable to wear.

If there`s one eye shadow that I would want to splurge on,, this is it! I find this color somewhat flattering for almost everyone .. I can use this single color for work and/or add some deep color/shimmer for the nites. Because this goes with anything and everything, it`s also travel friendly, if all you need is one eye color..

The only remotely negative thing I can think to say about this product is possibly the price and I say 'possibly' because in my opinion it's totally worth the cost. I wear this shadow every single day, and I also wear it when I go out for a special event or whatever it's versatile and easy to apply and looks gorgeous on your skin. It's perfect. Oh and I love Bobbi Brown's packaging. Her stuff looks so simple and sophisticated yet luxurious and sleek/sexy too; it's really fantastic. I highly, highly recommend this particular eye shadow.

Great subtle shimmer base shadow, really is a bone colour with a slight silver glisten. I often use this during the day with Champagne Quartz Metallic and MAC Teddy kohl and find that my eyes really look open without looking like I tried. Its a good blending base and like most Bobbi Brown shadows it doesn't crease or fade. Highly recommended for those who want a subtle shimmer to their base shadow during the day.

I love, love, love this as an inner corner color. It's a beautiful shimmery pearl that really brightens up my eyes. I've used it on several other people (different skin tones, etc.) & it looks good on EVERYONE. It's so silky smooth. I always use a eye primer (MAC paintpot or UDPP). With most of my MAC colors, it always seems to crease in my innner corner (weird...I know), BUT with this little gem. It stays put & brilliantly smooth all day. I'm hooked. I use it every single day.

One time I bought BB bone matte eyeshadow but the sales lady gave me shimmer wash Bone eyeshadow instead ! The store is too far for me to exchange. I tried to play around with it and found out the shimmer wash Bone is the best to highlight eye brow bone. Since then I have been used it every day. I love it. The shimmer is very fine milled. Matches my skind tone perfectly.

AHHH-MAZING! seriously great shadow. A BB consultant actully used this as a highlighter on my face over my blush, cheekbones, forehead and bridge of my nose. I was shocked, but then looked in the mirror and fell in love. It made my entire face look etherial, and toned down the blush (rose on my checkbones, apricot for the pop pf color on the apples of my cheeks) and gave it perfect glowy dew I am always striving for. No glitter, no highlighting of my pores, just perfection. He said that all the consultants love this shadow for this reason. Dear shimmerbrick...i NEVER thought I would leave you, but I am sorry, I've met your replacement.
PS- it is also really beautiful and natural on your lids for the classic Bobbi Brown "no makeup, makeup" look.

A beautiful gentle shimmering ivory colour that has much less yellow in it than the matte version. The shimmer is very subtle and I don't experience fallout. I use it as a highlight for my browbone and my cupid's bow. I also like to use a gentle wash of this over matte shadows on my lid to lift them slightly, without overpowering me with frost. An excellent shadow that I will happlily repurchase. Love the packaging and the new interchangeable palletes.

Please join us in an online seminar at the end of this month (Feb 28th). Scott Janousek, Weyert de Boer and myself will be covering topics from our book Foundation Flash for Mobile Devices (Friends of ED).
The seminar will be broken into 3, with questions at the end and a raffle with some great prizes. Topics will include:
Part 1: Cool Flash Liteâ"¢ Wallpaper and Screen saver content – Scott Janousek
Join me as we do a quick overview on how to design, develop, and deploy cool wallpaper and screen savers for the latest devices supporting these Flash Lite multimedia content types. Note: We'll cover Nokia Series 40 and Series 60 devices in particular.
Part 2: Rapid Game Creation – Richard Leggett
In this part of the session we will examine creating a multi-player game using the new XMLSocket feature of Flash Lite 2.1 development with a simple example. This game will quiz users simultaneously head to head in a "brain training" exercise and then let them know how their competitor did. We will make use of Java for the backend and ActionScript 2 to power the game logic.
Part 3: Creating your own installers for the phone – Weyert de Boer
After you have created your cool Flash Lite wallpaper, screen saver, or game, you'll need to get it distributed to the mobile device. In this session we will examine how to create installers for Symbian mobile phones and for Windows Mobile/PocketPC-enabled PDAs. Learn how to create sis and cab files as well as how to create icons on the phone's main menu.

You seem to be confusing radeonsi with radeonhd. Only the latter is deprecated. radeonsi is the most actively developed driver which supports AMDs newest GCN HW, while radeonhd was an alternative...
Did you really read the specs? In any case it is not ancient and it's also far more powerful than most home routers(software wise).
If you can handle configuring it, this might be a better option. http://routerboard.com/RB951G-2HnD
Nope, it's the other way around https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_VT
The high-end K model chips only lack VT-d(aka IOMMU), but they still have VT-x available.
There's some benchmark articles comparing Vbox to KVM on Phoronix. Generally speaking KVM is much faster and stable on Linux, but it's lacking 3D accel atm. Here's one article...
If you're asking about IQ then it's unlikely. Encoding will likely be significantly faster than on the CPU though.
I think it's probably worth making an exception for, especially since the feature freeze is so recent.
Michael, any chance you can do a new radeon vs r600g benchmark?
It's been a while and both drivers seem to have come a long way.
Dolphin should have been an obvious choice here. Though it might depend on other KDE technologies which Canonical might not like to include just to be able to load Dolphin. And more importantly...
It's actually Year.Month.
I'm surprised by the Xorg 1.15 support. That was very quick compared to past experience.
What's the status of GLSL 1.40+ and Geometry shaders for the radeon driver?

The beta works fine for me on both the latest Catalyst(HD5850 on desktop/ Arch Linux) and Intel OSS(HD3000 laptop/Fedora 18) drivers. I'm very happy with the quality of the port so far
Dota 2 works quite well on Catalyst
Yes, it has Android app support. The ecosystem is QML/QT5. It is running Sailfish OS which is build ontop of the Mer project, which is a community fork of Meego....
Well the phone actually costs 400, which may or may not convert to $500 when it's released outside of Europe. The specs aren't even fully clarified yet. A dual-core could still be an A15 based SoC...
Well, if this code was distributed as part of that 3.0 kernel it actually has to be GPL.
Well technically it's not a SEGA game. It's developed by Sports Interactive and they have had a mac client for a very long time. Although i suppose if the linux numbers are good enough SEGA might be...
1. The Steambox will get released before Mir and therefore certainly rely on X.org
2. Do you really think Valve would risk using experimental software for their big linux push?

Bladder Cancer 'Coaches' Could Help Patients Navigate Disease
Bladder cancer "coaches," or people who have gone through treatment for the disease, may help current patients cope with their diagnosis and manage treatment, said a health researcher from Baylor College of Medicine.
"Because medical information can be complex, doctors may have difficulty relaying information about treatment procedures in a way that their patients understand," said Dr. David Latini, assistant professor in the Scott Department of Urology at BCM (www.bcm.edu/urology). "As a result, patients can misinterpret information about their condition and treatment options."
The standard imaging procedure for bladder cancer, known as the cystoscopy, is very invasive and frequent, and many patients do not remain adherent, said Latini, also an assistant professor in the NCI-designated Dan L. Duncan Cancer Center at BCM and a member of the Health Services Research and Development Center of Excellence at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center in Houston. "There can be a heavy psychological burden to bear."
Depending upon the stage of the cancer, patients may also need further treatments, including removal of the bladder and prostate (males) or uterus (females).
Latini said coaches can help patients better understand the stages of bladder cancer and required treatment for each. "Some patients cannot understand the severity of their cancer, and have a hard time comprehending their course of treatment."
Myths about being contagious and spreading the cancer to others is not uncommon, Latini said. "Some are scared to have sex with their partners out of fear for spreading the cancer."
"There are a lot of 'unknowns' for bladder cancer patients," said Latini. "Coaches can help patients understand what they're going through."

text: Wondering if anyone has run into the same problem as me with their temperature controller/heating element and could help me out. I have a N2006P PID Temp controller that I got on eBay from a company in Hong Kong. The wiring diagram they gave me is found on the last page of the pdf document found here: http://www.e3b6a5y.com/365/WiringDia...w2006power.pdf When I wire my heating element like this, it trips my breaker (which is not surprising considering that I have two hot wires going to the outlet on my controller box that I plug my heating element into. So I tried to wire my setup like the diagram found in the "rims for dummies" thread. When I wired like this, my temp controller is correctly reading and displaying the water temp running through my system but it does not control my heating element. When I plug my heating element into the outlet I have wired to the side of my controller box, the element is always on. The only way to shut the element off is to unplug it. Also, when I set the temperature higher then the reading temperature, the red light on the SSR blinks and does not stay on....this is also true for the indicator "output" light on the PID temp controller. Do I need to set up the N2006P to start controlling the element? The factory settings included shows that the output is set on voltage control. This is also another diagram that I followed to wire my system:http://www.lousbrews.info/rimscontroller.pdf Like the one in this diagram, I have incorperated switches on my pump and heating element. Strange thing is that the heating element will also not turn off with the use of the switch that I have wired.....just remains on while it is plugged in. Can someone help? Maybe provide wiring diagrams or pictures of their similar RIMS? Thanks!

Would not recommend
worst new year eve celebration in my life
Terrible accommodations more suitable of a one star hotel. The food was not edible, and after complaining to the day manager he simple dismissed me as "no one has complained" Just minutes before the reception clerk had confirmed to me how the people were so dissatisfied with the event. The Spa is the dirties we have ever encountered. The service sub par. I recommend Lopesan at Maspalomas for those that would like to play golf,good food and great service. it is only a few minutes away but another world.

PROVIDENCE — Walk a mile in my shoes.
That's what a group of Providence students asked nearly two dozen public officials to do at dawn on a chilly Monday morning. But it was three miles, not one, and the walk — from Phebe Street near Douglas Avenue to Westminster — took almost 90 minutes.
The adults, including Supt. Susan Lusi; Warwick Mayor Scott Avedisian, RIPTA board chair; three mayoral candidates; and one candidate for governor, Clay Pell, followed the path taken by Nathalie Rossi as she weaves her way to Classical High School.
It's a trek fraught with peril, from the snow-clogged sidewalks of Smith Street to the din of highway traffic on the Route 195 overpass on Dean Street.
"Three miles is too far," Lusi said Monday. "Attendance is already a problem at our high schools."
Avedesian said RIPTA is "committed to being at the table." But he also said that any changes will cost money, and RIPTA is in no position to subsidize the cost of additional buses.
Monday's "Walk in Our Shoes Challenge" was organized by the Providence Student Union, the students who have led the fight against high-stakes testing, to dramatize the significant transportation hurdles facing many Providence high school students.
In the city, high school students are not eligible for a free RIPTA bus pass unless they live more than three miles from school. More than 1,800 high school students live between two and three miles, although no one knows how many of them buy bus passes.
The Providence Student Union wants to provide bus passes to youths who live less than two or possibly 11/2 miles from school.
"Because I don't have a bus pass, I get a lot of absences and tardies," said Diane Gonzalez, a sophomore at Central High School. "But it's not because I want to miss school. My mother goes to work very early and she can't afford to give me the $4 for two bus rides every day."
A monthly RIPTA pass costs $62, a major expense for the district's largely low-income families.
Providence is the only major city in the region to have a three-mile limit, according to Bernie Beaudreau, who serves on Mayor Angel Taveras' Children and Youth Cabinet, which is studying school attendance. Beaudreau is also executive director of Serve Rhode Island.
Boston, Fall River, Hartford and Worcester have a two-mile policy. Springfield, Mass. provides transportation after 11/2 miles.
Providence is also the only district in Rhode Island with a three-mile limit. Nearly every other district provides busing to high school students who live beyond 11/2 or 2 miles. (Jamestown and Pawtucket don't provide any transportation to high school students).
"We should at least give our kids the same level of support that kids get everywhere else," Beaudreau said.
He said he compared the city's absenteeism rates against those of five other Rhode Island school districts, including East Providence, Woonsocket and three smaller districts, and none of them experienced a winter-related decline in attendance like Providence did.
Bernie Luger, the school's chief operating officer, said it would cost about $1.5 million to provide bus passes to students living beyond a two-mile limit.
Last year, Providence ran a pilot program in which they gave bus passes to ninth-graders who lived two to three miles from school. Luger said the study concluded that attendance did not improve, even with the passes.
Ninth grade has the highest rate of chronic absenteeism, defined as missing 18 days or more of school.
But the cost isn't the only challenge. RIPTA says it is also a matter of capacity.
Many city buses are overcrowded during peak commuting hours, according to Mark Therrien, RIPTA's assistant general manager.
"We have trouble picking up our passenger loads now," he said. "We are concerned that this will trigger us into needing more buses, which we don't have."
According to Luger, RIPTA would have to purchase 15 additional buses at a cost of $500,000 per bus to accommodate students two miles or more. Moreover, new buses take at least 18 months to purchase. Even the regular yellow school bus costs about $1,500 per student.
RIPTA already loses $1.1 million a year because of the existing cost of busing Providence high school students.
School officials have been talking with RIPTA about various solutions for several months.
Elizabeth Burke Bryant, executive director of Rhode Island Kids Count, said, "This is one of those issues that doesn't meet the 'my child test,' when you say, 'would it be O.K. for my child to walk three miles to school in both directions in all kinds of weather on sometimes dangerous roads?' The answer for most of us is no."
Jennifer Wood, chief of staff for Lt. Gov. Elizabeth Roberts, made the walk and said, "In spite of the thaw this weekend, it felt very unsafe to clamber over ice and walk in the roadway where the sidewalks were unusable. … I wouldn't want my child making that walk."
At Classical High School Monday, PSU members urged officials to attend a follow-up meeting on March 5 sponsored by the students and hosted by the Annenberg Institute for School Reform.
"Today isn't the end of the campaign, it's just the beginning," said Roselin Trinidad, of Central High School. "We know that this is a complicated problem that will take everyone here thinking and working together to find a creative solution."

On Memes.
, 15th September 2012 at 07:29 AM (566 Views)
Originally, I posted this on Facebook, but since the people there act like they have the literal IQ of a potato, I'm moving it here. (No offense to any potatoes, though.)
Memes weren't supposed to be mainstream. They weren't supposed to be considered cool, made fanart of, or worn as merchandise. They were meant simply as a humorous way to express yourself, and NOT as a way to be 'cool' and 'legit'. Now, I see it everywhere: on T-shirts, on pins, on bags, everywhere. And it's pissing me off.
Instead of memes adding to the creativity of a joke, they are becoming the JOKE ITSELF. And that's terrible.
And they certainly, CERTAINLY did NOT come from 9GAG. You cannot put (c) 9GAG on ANYTHING. You CANNOT copyright a MEME.
A meme is "an idea, behavior or style that spreads from person to person within a culture."
Can you copyright this? An idea that spreads from person to person? Occupy Wall Street is technically a meme. Let me see you copyright THAT.

Snowboarder Dies from Traumatic Injuries on Teewinot Mountain
Teewinot rises well over 5,000 feet above Lupine Meadows on the valley floor. It'a a popular destination for backcountry climbers & skiers.
file photo: Grand Teton National Park
Contact: Public Affairs Office, 307.739.3393 A backcountry snowboarder died in Grand Teton National Park on Monday, May 5th, likely from the traumatic injuries he sustained during a 1,500 foot fall on Teewinot Mountain that morning. Joseph Lohr, 24, from Anchorage, Alaska, and two companions had summited the 12,325-foot mountain around 10 a.m. and were descending the snow-covered peak on snowboards and skis when the accident occurred. Lohr's partners made an emergency call for help via cell phone soon after they reached their friend, who lay unconscious but breathing on a steep slope of Teewinot's eastern flank. Lohr's companions worked continually to keep him warm and breathing while awaiting rescue. Upon receiving the emergency call, park rangers immediately mobilized a response and summoned a helicopter from Ogden, Utah to assist with the rescue operation. A hasty team of rangers skied 3,000 vertical feet up the eastern flank of Teewinot Mountain to reach Lohr and assist with emergency medical care while preparing him for transport. When the ship arrived around 3 p.m., snow squalls, high winds and low visibility prevented an aerial rescue attempt. Lohr died from his injuries at 4 p.m., not long after park rangers arrived on scene. One park ranger assisted Lohr's companions to the valley floor, while the remaining rescue personnel used a litter, ropes and pulleys to move the Lohr's body to a less hazardous area down the mountain slope. Due to hazardous snow conditions and waning light, rescuers secured the rescue litter on the mountain for the evening and returned to the valley floor approximately 10 p.m. Rescuers returned to the mountain on Tuesday morning to retrieve Lohr's body. Although most recently a resident of Salt Lake City, Lohr was in the process of moving to Jackson. His parents happened to be in the valley on a visit and were present for much of the park's rescue effort on Monday and recovery mission on Tuesday. According to his father, Lohr and his companions were all experienced backcountry snowboarders/skiers, who knew how to handle themselves well in such mountainous terrain. Lohr was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. Teewinot Mountain is a popular destination for both backcountry skiers and climbers. The mountain contains several steep snowfields that can present a real challenge to those who seek to explore them. Rangers remind backcountry users to be prepared for the unexpected and carry appropriate emergency gear. Inclement weather, access to rescue aircraft, and mountain conditions—such as an unstable snowpack—may prevent a timely rescue, and backcountry users must be prepared to take care of themselves, first and foremost, in the event of an emergency situation. "Our heartfelt condolences go out to Joseph Lohr's family and friends, "said Grand Teton National Park Superintendent David Vela. "The park's rescue personnel made every effort to tend to Joseph's injuries and get him off the mountain and transported to the appropriate medical facility," added Superintendent Vela. "Sadly, this marks the first fatality in the park's backcountry for the 2014 season." |

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I ordered this style for my save the dates. I was very pleased with the outcome. Many of my guests emailed me to let me know how pretty they thought they were. The order came quickly, even before estimated time. My full name would not fit, the designers fit everything perfectly. I would definitely recommend this style to anyone."
"I thought these were beautiful and very cost effective. I should have looked at the measurements, because they were a little smaller than I was expecting, but overall I'm very happy!"
"We ordered these save the dates and they were perfect. The customer service kept in touch with us sending proofs and made changes we asked for promptly. When they arrived they were even better than pictured. Also, our designer sent a personal note to us after and that was an awesome touch!"
"I used the default design and just changed the wording so it was very easy to create my post cards. I am very happy with the paper quality. I chose Wedding Paper Divas because of the great reviews, and they exceeded my expectations. My fiancé is also very happy with our purchase and we can't wait to send them to our friends and family."
"My fiancé lives overseas and we were unable to have an engagement photo shoot. There were so many adorable save the date cards that had photo options but I didn't have any photos that fit well with them. This classic floral chalkboard postcard was the perfect fit for us! I changed the fonts a bit and added a cute message on the back. We definitely will order from wedding paper divas again!"
