Summer's Not Over Yet! Tips and Essentials for Burning Man and Outdoor Festivals
August 22, 2013
Just because you're almost back in school or starting that new job doesn't mean summer has ended. From Paris to El Paso, there's still a plethora of events that will help you get everything out of your system before 2013 comes to a close. And we're gonna make sure you get there, have fun, and get out alive!
First, where to go? Road trips are always nice but who's got the green for fuel? You can stay local and rock out by visiting Music Festival Junkies and finding a festival nearby. Loud music and free love not your scene? Well, cozy your little hatchback right next to a river once you've made reservations at a local campground. Simply check out Recreation.gov to find a serene location near you.
Our favorite festival coming up? Burning Man! Not that we're big burners ourselves, but we do have friends and neighbors that will be gone for the weekend (Thank you for leaving! JK) for the annual event celebrating love, peace and art. If you're a burner, you're probably well prepared, but if it's your first time staying at a large event, we suggest you read up on these tips on what to bring to keep you vivid and burning throughout the night.
1. Water
Without it humans tend to die. That's not really what we're aiming for so besides coming well equipped with backup supplies of fresh water, make sure you have a personal reserve. We suggest these eco-friendly water bottles to carry around with you on during your long treks.
Oasis Folding Water Pouch
A portable water pouch that easily clips on to any belt loop or bag. Easy to refill and easy to carry. Perfect for long walks and hikes.
Bubi Collapsible Water Bottle
This BPA Free silicone bottle is a must for all travelers. You can roll this bubi bottle up and scrunch it into the keyring when you are finished for a portable and lightweight solution over carrying water bottles and dumping them when you no longer have use for them.
Eau Good Filtering Water Bottle
This glass bottle includes the Japanese Binchotan charcoal which filters water down to its most natural source. The charcoal can last up to 6 months and can be used for many purposes after its use with water. Aside from its great benefits to the earth this Binchotan charcoal costs less than a bottle of water from the convenience store. This water bottle pays off greatly in the end.
2. Food
Again, without this tasty fundamental item, you'll die. Not to worry though, we're past the Paleolithic period and you too can build a fire and provide for yourself.
Esbit Stove and Cookset
A complete stove and cooking pot that will handle just about any cooking task. Small yet efficient, you can make food and soups, or boil up a big batch of san pedro succulents for all your buddies.
Esbit Foldable BBQ Grill
A foldable and functional grill for cooking and grilling. It stores away neatly into an included carrying bag the size of a laptop. The perfect accessory for adventurous meat lovers or vegetarians who like adding some smokiness to their raw foods.
Esbit Pocket Stove
This tiny pocket stove is small but sturdy. The included fuel tablets will last long enough to boil up to a quart of water. Perfect for a morning cup of tea, coffee, or heating up cans of food throughout the day.
3. Safety Lights
When the sun sets it won't be long before our ocular friends become useless. You'll want to have plenty of light to move around with, be illuminated by, and to mark your final destination.
Laser Pointer
This green pointer pen is the top astronomy laser chosen by professors and astronomy enthusiasts. Cuddle up to the cutie you met with the furry boots and show them that Pegasus isn't just a spirit animal, but also a constellation.
Pak-It 9V Battery Light
Tiny but powerful, this light cap attaches to any 9 Volt battery and provides long-lasting light as strong as a household flashlight. The perfect combination of functionality and portability.
Glow In The Dark Candlestick
For those of us who prefer a much more sustainable lighting option or swore off electricity for good this candle will do just the trick. This candle replicating the Victorian days of gas and oil lamps, plus it comes with a little handle to carry around with you. Even when this candle is not lit, it glows in the dark to provide light at all times.
4. Party Gear
We can't help you with ingestibles but we can help you make the most out of them with adequate fun and flair. Check out some of our favorite wardrobe and party accessories:
Halo Belt
We love these halo belts for their stylish and modern approach to night lighting. This belt was created by a duo of designers in San Francisco who simply wanted to provide safe lighting for cyclists, runners, athletes and even kids playing at night. Whether you use them for safety or to pretend you are a program from Tron, these belts are loads of fun.
Fantastik Fans Handheld Light Show
Create a light show while also cooling off because all that fire dancing will get you hot, cool off with these fantastik fans.
The ultimate DIY light show is at your fingertips. These LED gloves create magic in the air with a flick of a wrist. Perfect for parties outdoors and they make for great photo ops.
Bling Fedoras
These fedora hats glitter and sparkle with LED lights and sequin detail all over. Although they are just the perfect favor for night outings, remember the golden rule "One fedora per crew"…
5. Comforts
It's perfectly okay to be afraid of the elements, just bring along a couple of things to make your environment more suitable. Just not to bears. Or people in search of hugs (unless you're into that sort of thing).
Solar Fan Hat
We'll take any excuse to look our wackiest during outdoor events. This solar fan cap may look like a thing of the future but it will keep you cool here and now. Watch all your hairy shirtless man-friends sweat through their teeth while you keep cool under the sun.
Protect yourself from the sun during the day and have fun at night with these color changing LED handle umbrellas. They remind us of the awesome umbrellas from the movie "Blade Runner"
For more info on the big event in these parts, i.e Burning Man, we suggest read up on Surviving the Elements.
Most of all, keep yourself and others safe and take plenty of pictures!! If you'd like to submit pictures of yourself with any of the above products, keep it clean and send it to email@example.com. We'll make you E-Commmerce famous!

Bed bug research is being done at NMSU after cases were discovered on campus.
NMSU Professor of Urban Entomology Alvaro Romero began researching bed bugs in 2005. He and NMSU Molecular Biologist Immo Hansen have received a research grant to study chemicals that attract bed bugs.
The idea is to create effective traps that help detect bed bugs during early stages of an infestation.
Romero said this research could reduce the amount of insecticide applications and minimize the economic losses associated with infestations.

Work on the College's strategic plan, Envisioning 2020, began in the fall of 2010. As the college's Fulfilling the Dream campaign neared its end, the UVa-Wise Foundation, Inc. Board of Directors discussed and gave input on the College's future and the next steps in its successful development efforts.
In October 2010, the UVa-Wise Board met for a planning retreat that included the participation of the chair of the U.Va. Board of Visitors Committee on Wise. The retreat focused on strategies that would take the College to the next level of excellence by the end of the decade.
In November 2010, Chancellor David J. Prior appointed seventeen members to the Envisioning 2020 (E2020) Committee. The E2020 Committee included members representing the general faculty, teaching faculty, staff and students. The committee was chaired by Provost Sanders Huguenin, Ph.D. and met regularly beginning in December 2010.
The E2020 Committee began by gathering as much input as possible from the College's many constituencies, as well as gathering and reviewing reports and data that include:
- Results of the UVa-Wise Board retreat in October 2010 and previous input from the UVa-Wise Foundation and UVa-Wise Alumni Boards of Directors
- Creating the Future 2012, the College's last strategic plan and that plan's progress reports
- Peer benchmarking on 42 data points including efficiencies, faculty salaries, freshman profiles, enrollment, revenues, retention, staffing, expenses, need-based aid, etc. to five different peer groups, including institutions within 50 miles, national public baccalaureate institutions, COPLAC institutions, four-year VA institutions and public baccalaureate with 30-40% of students receiving PELL
- UVa-Wise historical and current data on enrollment (FT/PT, Level, Out/In-state, etc.), freshman profile, retention, faculty salaries, faculty productivity, degrees conferred by major, IPEDS Finance Data, endowment assets, and more
- Operating budget, current and historical. Funding trends and sources of non-general fund revenue
- Top Jobs legislation, restructuring legislation, IPS, historical trends in higher education, and capital outlay plans
- Presentations by the College's leadership on various issues
- Results of multiple campus forums for staff, faculty and students hosted by the E2020 Committee and held in spring 2011
- Results of interviews with thought leaders
- Top Jobs six-year plan input, review and integration
The E2020 Committee completed a vision statement and then from the extensive input and data, subcommittees developed goals and strategies. After several revisions and some additional external input, the E2020 Committee completed the first Goals and Strategies Framework in February 2012. After Chancellor Prior's untimely death, the E2020 committee recommended to the Senior Staff and President Teresa A. Sullivan that the final plan be completed once a new chancellor had an opportunity to review the goals and strategies and provide input.
Upon beginnnig her tenure in January 2013, Chancellor Donna P. Henry charged the E2020 to continuing refining the document into a strong, aspirational plan with thematic goals. Various constiuencies reviewed the final draft and an online survey portal requested additional input. The Envisioning 2020 strategic plan includes timelines, responsibilities, and metrics. The plan was approved by the UVa-Wise Board on October 2, 2013 and by the U.Va. Board of Visitors on November 15, 2013.

Creating the Future ▪ 2012
A strategic plan presented to the UVa-Wise College Board on May 18, 2007.
Executive Summary
Since 2000, The University of Virginia's College at Wise has made extraordinary progress in its academic programs, physical plant, and enrollment growth. Building on this momentum, our academic community must develop a clear vision of what UVa-Wise will be in the future. Though it would be naive to believe that from our current vantage point we could see all that lies ahead, we cannot abdicate our duty to define our dreams and set our sights high.
Creating the Future ▪ 2012 focuses our efforts in student success, outreach and visibility. Thirteen strategic initiatives will guide and unite the College's faculty, staff, students, and leadership in moving forward:
Expand targeted academic programs – international business, MIS, CS, SE, human services counseling, nursing, visual and performing arts, and teacher education.
Create a college-wide global emphasis.
Enhance faculty and student research & creative works.
Streamline the community college transfer process.
Enhance the freshman and sophomore experiences.
Recruit and retain a diverse student body, faculty, and staff.
Build an attractive and accessible campus to accommodate growth
Establish an Office of Economic Development.
Prepare middle school students for the collegiate experience and create faculty partnerships between high schools, community colleges, and UVa-Wise.
Develop and implement a University/College partnership in healthcare, K-12 education, and economic development.
Strengthen service to community and region.
Complete a successful fundraising campaign.
Increase UVa-Wise's visibility in Virginia and the nation.
To facilitate thoughtful discussion about long-term enrollment growth, financial growth models for three enrollment targets are included.

From Food & Wine
Sliced rare roast beef from the deli counter turns pasta salad into dinner. Sweet balsamic vinegar balances the slightly bitter greens, and shavings of Parmesan cheese on top are a deliciously stylish garnish.

Switch for duel burner shorted out and caught fire Marian K. • Chesterfield, MI • April 19, 2014 Appliance: Jenn-Air Surface Unit-Ddraft Ele JED8430ADB My Repair & Advice Shut off circuit breaker. Uncoupled wires connecting unit with breaker. Removed entire built in down draft ceramic electric stove top from counter top, flipped it over and supported it on foam blocks. Removed the steel body (about 15 1/4" screws) that contained burners and controls.Switch was mounted in steel body on support leg that had to be removed to replace switch. Replaced switch and reassembled in reverse order. Was this review helpful to you?
Burned out surface element Bryan R. • Kirkland, WA • October 08, 2014 My Repair & Advice I had a burned out cooking element on my smooth top Magic Chef range. Ordered a new one from Appliance Parts Pro, got it very quickly. They shipped the same day I ordered the new one. Nice. Installed the new burner in about 20 minutes and I was back in business. Works great. Next time I need some type of appliance parts I'm coming here. Was this review helpful to you?
Cook top burner would only work on high no matter what the setting was William W. • Baytown, TX • January 19, 2015 My Repair & Advice I looked on Appliance Parts Pro website and found the part I needed and watched the associated film. I ordered the part and received it within the specified time. I replaced it within an hour and all is well now. Was this review helpful to you?
Certain buttons were'not working Brent T. • Easton, MD • November 17, 2014 Appliance: Maytag 27" Built-in Electric Oven Self-Clean MEW5527DDW16 My Repair & Advice One day my wife went to bake something and the bake/broil buttons as well as #3, #9, and oven light ceased to work. Local repair guy came by and wanted to charge $500 to fix it....YEAH RIGHT! Did a little homework and found this website, spoke with knowledgable staff who pointed me in the right direction. Took me all of about 20 minutes to install new control panel..everything works perfect...THANKS! p.s. In doing my research come to find Maytag did little to insulate control panel from oven heat and that using the "oven clean" function can cause so much heat it damages the internals of control panel...figures as I remember my wife using the cleaning mode for the first time not long before everything went haywire. Suggest you stay away from that mode and just be careful when in broil mode as well... Was this review helpful to you?

Everybody Hates Chris
Episode: 'Everyone Hates Corleone' - Despite his parents' firm belief that he will be 'safer' in the all-white school, Chris' status as the only black student opens him up to a daily barrage of abuses.
Wednesday, September 21 2005
Everybody Hates Chris
The brilliantly constructed and deceptively complex pilot succeeds by not trying to force an awkward story over the exposition required of a premiere episode.

Wind farm company considers paying neighbors
By KALEY LYON Hays Daily News As earlier suggested by Iberdrola Renewable Energies USA representatives, landowners near the proposed wind project have been offered neighbor agreements. According to several neighbors, the agreements were received last week. "It's just part of our continuing effort to be as good a neighbor as possible to everyone around the project," said project manager Krista Gordon. "We were encouraged to do something like this by the board of Ellis County commissioners. We're trying to be responsible neighbors." It merely was coincidence the completed offers were received after the county commission's vote, she said. The county commission as a whole did not make this suggestion. Rather, commissioner Perry Henman had suggested neighbor cooperation during an unofficial conversation, though he didn't specify there should be compensation, Henman said. "I've talked to (Gordon) a few times," he said. "I'm sure in one of those conversations I suggested it would be a good idea to try to work with the neighbors." Commissioner Dennis Pfannenstiel said he never had made that suggestion, and chairman Vernon Berens could not be reached for comment. Several neighbors have decided not to sign the contract. In fact, according to legal advice obtained from the Ellis County Environmental Awareness Coalition, Topeka-based attorney Tom Barnes has advised against it. "Frankly, I cannot recommend that this agreement be signed," Barnes said in the document. "I do not believe that the compensation being offered under any of the three proposed compensation arrangements adequately compensates to you for all that you are being asked to give up." There were three different compensation offers, depending on how close each landowner would be to the generators, Gordon said. Most of the offers were for electrical reimbursement, in the amount of either 10,000 or 20,000 kilowatt-hours per year. According to a copy of the agreement obtained by The Hays Daily News, the initial reimbursement rate would be set by the electricity rate in the owner's most recent electrical bill. The electricity reimbursement rate would escalate by 1 percent each year. A one-time lump sum payment of $3,000 also has been offered to one landowner, according to the legal advice document. Some landowners have concerns of their own. The agreement includes easements for noise, light and shadows cast on owners' property and television reception. To some, it seems this language is an acknowledgment of these specific concerns, said Sheryl Butler, who lives on Golf Course Road. "Even the language that's been used, it's these 'supposed problems' -- you feel put down for these concerns," she said. "And then when you see it in writing from the company, basically saying, 'Here, we need to cover ourselves for these concerns,' you just want to shout to the world, 'It's possible,' ...or they wouldn't put in an agreement to cover it." Butler also said she's concerned about what the future repercussions of the agreement would be. The contract is for a time span of 35 years or the life of the project, and likely will follow the property should they choose to sell, she said. Another concern is the language of the proposed agreement. The document states the company will use "reasonable" measures to alleviate potential problems, said A.J. Pfannenstiel, who lives on 150th Avenue. The document states that if, 20 percent or more of the time on an annual basis, noise levels from the turbines exceed 45 decibels at night or 50dB during the day 30 feet from existing residences, Hays Wind will take all "commercially reasonable measures" to reduce noise levels to meet these standards. The company also will take reasonable measure if light and shadows cast substantially interfere with the "use and enjoyment of the residence," or if the project significantly interferes with the residence's television signal, the document states. "This is basically a blank check, saying, 'There's going to be noise out here, and we will take reasonable measures,' " Pfannenstiel said. "What are reasonable measures? Who's going to determine what the reasonable measures are?" Another concern is a clause of confidentiality included in the document, which it originally was suggested would not be included, said Keith Pfannenstiel, who lives on Mount Pleasant Road. In the July 13 issue of The Hays Daily News, Gordon was quoted as saying there would be no "gag order" stipulation that would prevent neighbors from voicing opposition to the project. The confidentiality provision states both the owner and Hays Wind shall maintain in confidence all information pertaining to the financial terms of the agreement. "It's not even a money issue to me," Keith Pfannenstiel said. "This is not a money issue. Basically, I would be signing away all those rights and saying, 'Yup, just do whatever you want.' " According to the document, landowners wishing to participate should sign and submit the contract by Dec. 31. Reporter Kaley Lyon can be reached at (785) 628-1081, Ext. 138, or by e-mail at email@example.com. What's next? According to amendment 32-107 of the adopted Ellis County zoning regulations: "Whenever an application for amendment, supplement, change, rezoning or conditional-use permit has been denied by the Governing Body or withdrawn after newspaper publication notice for public hearing, such application or one substantially similar shall not be reconsidered sooner than one year after said denial or from the date the application was withdrawn. "The Governing Body may waive the limitation for good cause if there is a substantial change in the application as proposed ..."

4.5 Hard to beat. Andyt1986 | 16/06/2012 | See all Andyt1986's reviews (1) One of my new favourite games. Definately not for the faint hearted or the casual gamer. But those who persevere with the insanely hard difficulty will be rewarded with a satisfying and immersive world with a wide array of creatures. Some of the dialogue is a bit weird and i feel a tiny bit more direction as to what your objectives are would have improved it a little, but then there are people who will love the lack of hand holding most games tend to adopt these days. Make no mistake though this game is outstanding.
4.5 great fun philmccrone | 03/03/2012 | See all philmccrone's reviews (2) only just started playing but already fallen in love with it. great feel to the game. can see myself playing too much of this. happy customer

The website memepool is probably nothing new to the readers of LIS News.However, yesterday someone posted some links about good ol\' Melvil, including this link which should be familiar to attentive LIS News readers.

SomeOne writes \"Should librarians use college professors rather than search engines to guide the search for information? Professors are posting citations to superlative sources about their subject specialties at The Infography. It\'s a treasure trove for reference and acquisition librarians. Not surprisingly, most of the research recommendations are to books and journals rather than to web sites. \"
Their info page says \"This reference tool enables a student, librarian, or teacher to identify superlative sources of information about a subject of inquiry, viewed through the lens of expert opinion. The subject specialists who select the citations published in The Infography are professors and other scholars who know the literature about their subjects of expertise, who know which information sources are seminal for research.\"

Libertarian Alliance Statement on the Happy Occasion of the Royal Wedding (2011), by Sean Gabb
Statement by Sean Gabb
For the Libertarian Alliance
On the Happy Occasion of the Royal Wedding
29th April 2011
On behalf of those Officers of the Libertarian Alliance who do not yet regard the Monarchy with the contempt it richly deserves – which may or may not for the moment include me – I wish to congratulate William Mountbatten-Windsor and Catherine Middleton on this evening before the happy occasion of their nuptials.
I must say that, although thoughts of an "elected" President incline me to projectile vomiting, my own regard for the Monarchy has been sorely tested over the past three or four decades. It does not concern me if Her Present Majesty is not a woman of great intellectual distinction – after all, our last Monarch who did not at least border on the subnormal was James I, and he was a Scotchman without potty training. Worse by far than slight stupidity is lack of character and lack of judgement.
Let it be granted that our Her Present Majesty is now a shambling old woman in her eighties. Until she became that, however, there was much she could have done to slow the progress of England into a sinister laughing stock. In strict law, she is our Head of State and Supreme Governor of the Church of England and Commander in Chief of the armed forces. She appoints all the bishops and judges and all the ministers and civil servants. She declares war and all treaties are signed on her behalf. The only thing she cannot do is make laws by her own authority and impose taxes. She must have the consent of Parliament for both. She can also veto any parliamentary bill she dislikes – and her veto cannot be overriden by any weighted majority vote of Parliament.
During the past three centuries, the convention first emerged and then hardened that all these powers are exercised in practice by a Prime Minister who is leader of the majority party in the House of Commons. The power of veto has not, I think, been exercised since 1708. The tacit deal has been that we regard whoever wears the Crown in public as the Lord's Anointed, and the Monarch acts only on the advice of a Prime Minister who is ultimately accountable to us.
The resulting constitution is unwritten, and is usually rather opaque to foreign observers, who tend to the error either that the Monarch is all-important or that England is some kind of republic. Neither is the case. The deal described above rests on the assumption that politics is other than a cartel of tyrants and traitors. When the politicians begin to abolish the rights of the people, it is the duty of the Monarch to step in and to rebalance the Constitution.
That duty has been apparent since at least 1972, when we were lied into the European Union. Elizabeth the Useless should have acted then. There have been many times since when she should have acted. At all times, she could have sacked the Government and dissolved Parliament without provoking riots in the street. So far as I can tell, she has acted only twice in my liftetime to force changes of policy. In 1979, she bullied Margaret Thatcher to go back on her election promise not to hand Rhodesia over to a bunch of black Marxists. In 1987, she bullied Margaret Thatcher again to give in to calls for sanctions against South Africa.
And that was it. She is somewhere on record as having said that she regards herself more as Head of the Commonwealth than as Queen of England. Certainly, I have never seen evidence that she has lifted a finger to defend the rights of her English subjects. In my view, that abolishes my duty of allegiance to her or any of her likely successors – who are equally useless. All that stops me from becoming a committed republican, as said, is the certainty that a head of state chosen by any of the likely other methods would be still worse.
I sometimes feel regret that a constitution that reconciled liberty with political stability for longer than any other in recorded history has been subverted. More often, I range between bitterness and anger. I used to regard the French Revolutionaries with all the horror of a smug and patriotic Englishman. Nowadays, I think rather fondly of the tumbrils and the guillotine and those ghastly women knitting away beneath it....
But I suspect I am wandering from my stated theme. On behalf of the Libertarian Alliance – with the reservations stated above – I wish all happiness and prosperity to the Royal couple. At the last Royal Wedding, back in 1981, I spent most of the day in bed, listening to Die Meistersinger. This time, I suspect I shall be bullied into having a shave and watching every ghastly detail on the telly. Well, at least Tony Blair and Gordon Brown will not be polluting the event by their presence. If the Mountbatten-Windsors had shown a little more backbone when these wretches were in office, I might think more of them today.
"The only thing she cannot do
"The only thing she cannot do is make laws by her own authority...".
Not sure about this. In fact, Sean, I think you just made it up. The Royal Prerogative includes certain law-making powers. In most cases these are 'private' laws in the sense that they do not affect the populace at large but apply to special groups, e.g. civil servants, but one category is an exception: the sovereign has plenary power to legislate for Crown Colonies, as poor Mr Bacoult found out to his cost. See R (Bancoult) v Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (No 2).
Of course the principle of the legislative supremacy of Parliament implies that Orders in Council (i.e. legislation made under the prerogative) can be over-ruled by Act of Parliament. But no one could seriously derive from this the proposition that the Monarch cannot make laws of her own authority.
Best wishes.

Concierge.com's insider take:
Once one of the island's largest coffee plantations, the 1838 Hacienda Buena Vista has been restored to give a look at rural life in the colonial era. The most awesome sight is the two-story-tall waterwheel, which is turned by a torrent of water diverted from a nearby river (when it's going at full speed, the sound is deafening). The manor house is also interesting to seeespecially the ingenious ways the family cooled the rooms and warmed the food before electricity arrived in these parts. The hacienda, now owned by the Conservation Trust of Puerto Rico, is just a miles north of Ponce, the island's second-largest city, and can be seen on a day trip from San Juan. Tours are given Wednesdays through Sundays only, and reservations are requiredcall ahead a few days in advance.

Beck Will Release Third Man Single, Proves He's Recording New Album
Beck is acting like an active musician this week: Last night he played a Sasquatch! warm-up show at Los Angeles' El Rey Theatre, and today he announced he'll be releasing a single via Jack White's über-inventive Third Man Records. The 7-inch, featuring the passive aggressively named A-side "I Just Started Hating Some People Today" (backed with "Blue Randy"), was recorded "while Beck was in Nashville working on new material for his long-awaited next album," per his reps. By the sound of the clips posted to the Third Man site, they are very, very Nashvillian.
"Long-awaited next album" is right — Beck has been meandering a bit since his Danger Mouse-produced 2008 record, Modern Guilt. After his Record Club project, in which he and his musician friends covered entire albums in day-long recording sessions, petered out in 2010 with Yanni's Live at the Acropolis, and following his production work on albums by Thurston Moore and Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, it became unclear whether a follow-up would actually happen. This past March, he contributed a mellow, relatively safe new track to the soundtrack for Jeff, Who Lives at Home; less than two months later, his cover of folk standard "Corrina, Corrina" was included on Every Mother Counts' charity compilation. The latter is one of several Beck covers to pop recently, including one of the Flamingos-made-famous standard "I Only Have Eyes For You."
This new Third Man-released single will drop, presumably not from the sky, in five days, on May 28. If you live in Salt Lake City, you can try to get your hands on one of 100 fancy-pants copies (that is, Tri Color pressings) at Randy's Records. If you don't, and still want a chance to get one of those, order the single for delivery, because Third Man will be sending out 50 of them, at random, to mail orders.

I went there when I was little and have very fond memories. Its great to see that the restaurant AND Gil's mustache are still around bringing smiles to peoples faces.
Best Service in a Restaurant Miami 2007 - Gil Capa's Bistro - CLOSED
Famous not only for his cooking but also his gigantic handlebar mustache, owner Gil Capa walks in and out of the kitchen, greeting his customers with jokes in Italian. You can almost hear the Godfather theme as you enter this small Italian bistro tucked away in a tiny strip mall. Patrons receive warm greetings as they are seated. "It is like a big family here; most of our customers are the children of our customers," says Gil's wife, Carmen. The only employees here are Gil, Carmen, and Carmen's two older sisters, Olga and Teresa. They've all been with the restaurant since it opened in a previous location in 1976.They serve food in the traditional Italian way. "We bring the pasta out first," says Carmen, smiling, as she sets down a small bowl of thin linguine with delicious homemade tomato sauce. For the main course, try the chicken marsala ($14), which is sautéed with (also homemade) wine sauce and fresh mushrooms over a tender filet of chicken. And don't even think about leaving without trying the tiramisu ($5). "I have to go to confession every time I eat one. It is sinful," says Gil. "Pure gluttony."

About Kimberly Fuller
I am a senior at Temple University, Fox School of Business. I am studying International Business Administration. Thus far my favorite subjects have been Business Calculus and Financial Accounting. I am from New York. I aspire one day to be a marketing director of a big international company in entertainment, whether it be sports, music or fashion.
I love fashion, music and sports. Since all three categories interest me greatly I figured it would be exciting to have a marketing jobs in these fields. I choose marketing because I want to push a product, I want to come up with ideas for people to decide in my favor and be able to close deals with my persuasion methods. I also like to problem solve and think out of the box. I also am fascinated with studying different cultures and learning different languages. So I felt I should take my marketing skill abroad.
I am a very community oriented individual. Since my 3 years in Philadelphia I have participated in Philadelphia Cares Day were I have painted school lunchrooms. I also participated in a community service called Diva Day with AMSA (American Medical Student Association) where we would go to Shriners Hospital to the muscular dystrophy unit and either dress up the kids, do their make up, play games or do crafts. Also I have participated in the aids walk.

OpenSource World Unlocks the Word on Keynote Speakers
The OpenSource World conference — previously known as LinuxWorld — is fast approaching — it convenes in San Francisco from August 12 - 13, showcasing everything Open Source and more. Conference organizers this week drew back the curtain on one of the conference's main attractions, its keynote speakers, and the lineup promises to be an interesting listen.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the conference, which was re-branded by conference organizers after last year's expo in order to include and highlight the important role of the greater Open Source community in the event. The conference is co-located with the Next Generation Data Center and CloudWorld events, and promises tracks on Open Source in Business, Security, Desktops & Netbooks, Deployment & Management, Mobile Open Source, and Systems Troubleshooting. Included among the presenters is Linux Journal's own Kyle "Hack and /" Rankin, author of Knoppix Hacks and Knoppix Pocket Reference, who will present "System Rescue with Knoppix."
Keynote speakers are always a highlight of any conference, and OpenSource World is no exception. The expo's main speaker will be California Secretary of State Debra Bowen, who is known to the Open Source community for understanding and advocating Open Source software. Additionally, there will be a keynote panel, "Assessing the Real Market Opportunities and Obstacles for Making Cloud Computing Mainstream," lead by CloudWorld conference chairman Jeffrey Kaplan and including discussion and debate by panelists Joe Weinman of AT&T Business Solutions, Sam Charrington of Appistry, and James Urquhart of Cisco.
Mary Dolaher, IDG World Expo CEO, commented: "We are pleased to announce these two keynote sessions that will give attendees a comprehensive look into the important technology trends that are changing the way organizations develop, deploy and manage their computing resources and business applications."
As always, the conference will include a wide variety of exhibitors, and will host a "Community Day" the day before the conference convenes (August 11), offering system administrators, IT managers, and Open Source developers the opportunity to attend both FOSSDevCamp ("Bring your toughest real-world problems.") and Linux/Microsoft Interoperability Day.
The OpenSource World conference, like its predecessor, does not offer general admission — interested parties must register to attend and answer an attendee questionnaire, after which registrations are vetted by conference organizers against a set of qualifying criteria. Though all registrations are not accepted, there is no admission charge to those who do qualify.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Families graduate at the SoL
Light Learners receive plaudits.
Sir Bob Murray CBE attended the recent Foundation of Light Family Learners special graduation ceremony.
Former Sunderland AFC Chairman Sir Bob Murray CBE honoured the Foundation of Light's Family Learners in a special graduation ceremony to celebrate their achievements.
More than 750 children and adults from across Sunderland, South Tyneside and County Durham attended the Stadium of Light to receive their certificates after completing the charity's award-winning Family Learning through Football programme.
The families also took part in games and activities organised by Foundation of Light staff, including a special Niall's Mile walk around the stadium.
Sir Bob Murray, who founded the Foundation of Light in 2001 and is now the charity's Chairman of Trustees, said: "All of our learners deserve this graduation, and we offer our massive congratulations to each and every one of them. I hope they have enjoyed their special day celebrating together.
"Every person here has faced challenges in their lives but they've stood up to them and in many cases overcome them.
"For that I take my hat off to them. They've got all of my respect."
Earlier this year, the Family Learning through Football programme received the national 'Learning Where You Are' award at a special NIACE ceremony in London as part of Adult Learners' Week.
Run by the Foundation of Light, the 10-week course uses the power of football to engage adults and young people in activities that inspire learning and achievement, develop and build new skills, and improve relationships within the family.
In 2011, the programme worked with more than 1,500 families across the region.
"We've had a lot of fun," said Susan Smith, who completed the course with son eight-year-old son Archie. "It's nice to spend some quality time together as a family and the programme has given us the opportunity to do that.
"Completing the course and being invited to attend a graduation ceremony here at the Stadium of Light provides a real sense of achievement.
"It's been a great experience and we've really enjoyed being part of it all."
The Foundation of Light (formerly known as SAFC Foundation) is the registered charity of Sunderland AFC which works with more than 40,000 people every year.
The organisation uses the power of football to involve, educate and inspire young people, families through a broad range of innovative programmes helping improve lives across the North East.
Structurally and financially independent of the football club the organisation relies on fundraising for 95% of project costs.

MotioninJoy PC game Profile Editor(USB ONLY)
What is Profile ?
A Profile is a set of user programmed input commands and control settings that determines how you controller functions in a PC game. Multiple Profiles can be created and saved for use with multiple games.
Should I use the Profile Editor?
The use of the Profile Editor is optional. If a PC game supports USB gamepad's then you will not need to use the Profile Editor. Most PC games have an "Options" or " Controller Configuration" menu screen where you can configure your controller's buttons to performed commands in the game. It is recommended that you use these menu screens if available. Most novice users should configure the controller by using the game's configuration screen. The Profile Editor is recommended for use by advanced users who understand the capabilities of the Profile Editor.
There are a large number of PC games available today that only support the mouse and keyboard as input devices. Typically, this means that a controller could not be used with these PC games. The Profile Editor will allow you to use your controller with these PC games. You are able to assign keyboard keys, mouse buttons, and mouse movement to the controller with the Profile Editor. So you can use your Game Elements controller with PC games that only support the keyboard and mouse.
MotioninJoy game Profile Editor
Quick config
you can quick select options to config PLAYSTATION 3 game controller(sixaxis and dualshock 3) for different type game.
Profile Editor
The Profile Editor is the main menu used for creating, editing, and saving profiles. You can create a custom profile for each of the PC games installed on your computer. This allows you to customize the buttons and analog joysticks of the controller to fit your gaming style. It also allows you to use the controller with keyboard and mouse games.

Robin Burton, a charismatic and dedicated teacher of agroecology and native plant propagation at SSU, recently passed away. Robin was a graduate of the Department of Environmental Studies and Planning at SSU. After graduation she went on to do field work in agriculture in Latin America as a volunteer in the Peace Corps. In addition to sharing her wealth of experienced-based insights and life philosophy with university students, Robin also passed her passion on to high school students through her work at the Orchard View Charter School in Sebastopol.
As an instructor at SSU for over a decade, Robin was loved by all for her wit, practical knowledge, and passion for all of life — but especially plants. Robin's Life Tribute was published in the Press Democrat on September 21, 2014. A second memoriam was published in Sonoma West, Sonoma County on October 8.

Exercise and stronger PVC's/PAC's
Hey! Wondering if any of you notice that when you work out your PVC's/PAC's seem stronger. Not neccessarily more..I think I only have 3-4 duing a 30 min workout...but they are STRONG! feel like a kick in the chest...these are the scariest feeling ones. I know through research ive found that most people notice a decrease in frequency during excercise, but mine seem to still be there..just at a higher intensity it seems. Any ideas why? is it b.c my blood is just pumping more blood, so when the blood pools, theres that much more to get out with that next beat? my cardiologist said he wasnt concerned b.c when they happen they still showed as PVC's in the stress test on the treadmill, but I just feel like if I had an explanation i'd be so much more at east to start exercising again. Thanks!
Hi Casper -
I think I've had the full gamut of variance in intensity of my PVCs, from ones I feel in the middle of the night that are as soft as any other beat to ones I get either exercising or when I'm in front of the computer that feel quite a bit stronger. The ones I get in front of the computer, I think they feel so strong because after an hour or so on the computer my heart rate will drop to the mid 50's, so the compensatory pause that comes after a PVC is also really long, which I would think means that my ventricles are pretty much at full capacity when they finally contract, making the beat a really strong one. I imagine the increased blood volume is also the reason for the stronger PVCs when exercising. Sure, your heart's going fast, but it's pushing a lot of blood, too, so any pause would make your heart pretty full. Do you get your exercise PVCs in a certain heart rate range or during a specific point in your workout? Also, how fast is your HR when exercising? |
The big ones after taking a flight of stairs or a brief period of exertion are often called "transitional PVCs." They get this name because your heart and body are transitioning from a state of relative rest to one of activity and exertion. I almost always get a PVC about two steps after I get to the top of a flight of stairs. These transitional PVCs are as benign as any other.
If you think about what's going on inside you, it makes sense - about halfway up the stairs your body realizes - yikes! She's putting her body into gear - let's let loose some adrenaline so we can keep up. The adrenaline flows, excites some already excited heart cells, and bzzt! A skip. The ones you have 10 minutes in sound like about the same thing. Try this once - if your normal warmup to full exertion is 5 minutes, allow yourself 10 minutes next time. A nice, slow ramp-up. It might make a difference, but it might not. Sometimes it does for me. When I had my month-long event monitor on I was spending nearly every night on the treadmill, trying to force my heart into doing those bad things I told all the nice doctors were happening. Just about every time, when I got in the 130-140 bpm range, which was 15-20 minutes in, I'd get a few PVCs (3 or 4). At first I was hesitant to even record the PVCs, because I knew what they were and wasn't concerned about them (I've had ten years practice - that helps). But my cardiologist told me to not try to be the judge of what's important and what isn't - she told me to record everything and let her sort it out. So I did. And there was nothing in any of my rhythm strips that she was concerned about. Hope that helps. Jeff |
Hi i am a 34 year old male and have been relativly fit all of my life, i dont drink or smoke or take tea or cofee. Since 30 i have suffered what my doc tells me are begnin ectopic heart beats. i have just about come to terms with that fact they are harmless just unpleasent although they still strees my out when i get them. however i have been getting a more powerful thud/kick in the chest when exercising. I went for a run the other day pulse at about 155/165 and had one enormous thud felt centre chest and throat, during that split second i was unable to take in a breath , no crushing pain or anything like that but it did stimulate massive anxiety. ironically the day previouse i had had an ECG stress test on a tredmill pulse to 155 not one ectopic beat and heart reate fine so the doc said it was safe to up the exercise. following the thud i attended the ER and bloods and ecgs were done all of which were ok which i assume rules out any heart damage therefore heart attack! I just really need to know if it is common for this to occur? my feeling is that it was a normal ectopic beat but with increased respiration (pleanty of deep breathing) and increased heart rate due to the running that in effect it has amplified the usual ectopic beat hence the massive thud. What are your thoughts (this type of situation/feeling has never happened and therefore never been captured before on a holter but ectopics have shown up on a holter) Is this likely to led to anything else? alot of sites say ectopics with excercise are dangerous and this has concerned me alot and i have stopped exercising. Your site seems to have a liilte more common sense approach so i welcome your views
Hi Neil,
There seems to always be disagreement among medical experts about the importance of PVCs during exercise. There was a big study (29,000 people) that was evaluating frequent (defined as >7 PVCs per minute) PVCs before, during and after exercise, and only those experiencing frequent PVCs during the cool down period (and no other time) were more likely to have a dangerous cardiac event. As for your situation - I don't know if fire crackers are allowed in the UK, but if they are, did it feel like one went off in your chest? I experienced that a few times back in January. Seemed perfectly timed with my heart beat, and was a very brief, surprising pain. One time it was a single beat, another it was two consecutive beats. After some research (and the cardiologist not being sure that it was anything important), I believe what I experienced, and maybe what you experienced as well, was an esophageal spasm. Like you, it really frightened me. But if we had the same thing, it looks like they may just be associated with stress, and should abate when the stress does. Hope that helps. |
I should add this - I had an event monitor last February, and after the first week I told her that I wasn't recording any of the PVCs, because I knew what those were and weren't worried about them. She told me that I should record everything, not try to decide what is important and what isn't, and then let her sort out what is what.
So I did. And while this only happened on two occasions, it did happen - I recorded an event that I thought was a simple PVC. I was laying in bed, not moving around, so there were no artifacts in the data. When I transmitted the data, the nurse told me that there was nothing recorded - just a normal heart rhythm. And this was from a guy who has had PVCs for ten+ years, and some days more than 15,000 in a day. And I still misjudged what was a PVC and what wasn't. So it's possible that what you felt may not have been your heart, but was instead some other sort of muscle spasm. If your heart was going to hurt, it would hurt because of a lack of blood flow and the pain would not be so brief. And I've often heard that the pain people feel is a generalized pain, not one specific to the heart region. |
I'm not sure whether that could be classified as the recovery phase of exercise, as you were just slowing down a bit, not stopping, right? Also, when studies report on ectopics, they talk about frequency of those ectopics - once in awhile is not supposed to be a big deal, and since this is a one-off occurrence (so far, anyway), it wouldn't seem to be something a doctor would worry much about. In the study I referenced earlier, any # of PVCs less than 6 per minute during cooldown were not supposed to show an increased risk of anything.
And I know what you mean about not being able to breathe - I'm not sure if it stopped me from breathing, but it stopped me in my tracks as I was walking across a room. It was a sharp little twinge of pain that seemed timed perfectly with the heartbeat. At the time I was a full-on stress monkey, and had been visiting my doctor regularly to figure out some other unusual gastronomical symptoms. While the gastro issues weren't the original cause of the stress, they certainly added to it. Once the stress was mitigated, so were those pains, as well as a few others. Re: your grandfather - those kinds of stories help to make the rest of us feel better about living to a ripe old age despite having skips and blips. Are you under a lot of stress lately? |

Erotes, Please
Friday, December 31, 2010
It seems like paranormal M/M romance mines some pretty limited veins (present company included). Vampires demons, angels, werewolves. The anthologies are themed by seasons, holidays, tarot cards, bondage... So, just for a change, here is a suggestion of my own.
Seriously. The erotes were winged Gods who hung out with Aphrodite. They were gorgeous young men, gods and tricksters, and especially involved in homosexual love. The four specifically named erotes (a niche number of novellas for a collection?) were...
Eros: God of love, protector of gay men.
Anteros: Given to his brother Eros as a playmate (incest fic?), depicted as longer-haired and with butterfly wings (proto-seme?) His special responsibility was unrequited love and punished those who spurned a sincere offer of love.
Pothos: God of longing/yearning.
Eros & Himeros pull the chariot of Aphrodite |

KFC Parent Company Copycats Chick-fil-A, Tests Super Chix
There's a fan base for Chick-fil-A that KFC wants. But rather than buyout the brand, they're testing their own copycat called Super Chix.
The Los Angeles Times reported that KFC's parent, Yum Brands Inc., is testing a chicken-centric fast food restaurant called Super Chix in Arlington, TX. On the menu: chicken sandwiches, chicken tenders, hand-cut fries, haystack onions, homemade lemonade, and frozen custard. Ingredients are touted as fresh and customers will not find MSG, high-fructose corn syrup, or phosphates in their food. A trademark application was filed on January 9, and as Ad Age reported, the restaurant is "an exploratory concept that may in the future be considered for international purposes."

Deadmau5: "I Won't Be Playing Any More Miami Clubs"

Deadmau5 rants again.
Two years ago, he denounced Ultra Music Festival over its ticket prices and exclusivity contracts. And last year, he slandered UMF as "the same fucking thing every year." But then he coheadlined Ultra 2013.
He's also bitched about "EDM" just being an acronym for "Event-Driven Marketing," not to mention a million other things pertaining to the genre and culture he helped megapopularize.
And now the King Rat returns with a personal boycott of Miami clubs.
UPDATE Space Miami to Deadmau5: Come "Host a Free Show ... We Will Cover Expenses Up to $25,000"
UPDATE #2 Check out Crossfade's review and photos, "Deadmau5's Free Show for the Real Fans: "Miami's Been Redeemed.'"

On New Year's Day, the Mau5 man was scheduled to bring his Unhooked tour to Mansion Miami. For a second year.
So yeah, he probably should've been prepared for the South Beach scene and all its expensive, narcissistic tendencies. But no, he made it known that he was bored by the SoBe bullshit from the get-go.

This quickie biography, which is out this week, has a title that is longer than the 17-year-old's career -- Lorde: Your Heroine: How This Young Feminist Broke All the Rules and Succeeded. Author Mark Shapiro says, "She's a true intellect whose songs have been guided by great authors and deep thinkers rather than the predictable template of current pop music. She's smart, creative, a true individual and only 17. Stories that are too good to be true but that ultimately are just that makes a biography of Lorde truly something special."

Scouting Kentucky versus Michigan State
November, 11, 2013
Seth Greenberg | ESPN Insider
USA TODAY SportsJohn Calipari and Tom Izzo are set to match wits in the Champions Classic.
Tuesday night's Champions Classic in Chicago will feature four of college basketball's elite programs, and four of the top five teams in the AP Top 25. The two matchups will showcase some of the nation's best returning players, as well as some of its most highly touted freshmen.I've drawn up scouting reports on every team, the way I would if I were coaching against these teams, and included keys to the game for each matchup.
Here is my breakdown of the No. 2 Michigan State Spartans versus No. 1 Kentucky Wildcats (7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN). You can also check out my in-depth look at No. 5 Kansas Jayhawks versus No. 4 Duke Blue Devils (9:30 p.m. ET, ESPN).
Scouting the Spartans
Tom Izzo has a mature, physical team that is invested in winning. Izzo's teams also defend and rebound, but the coach has said this season that he'll be committed to pushing the pace. He has a roster capable of attacking the defense, but how will the Spartans adjust to that style of play? Playing faster can't come at the expense of taking good shots and establishing a low-post presence.
Four-year starter Keith Appling is a key for the Spartans at the point. He must be a committed play starter and playmaker, but not MSU's primary scoring option, even though he led the Spartans in shot attempts last season. Izzo needs him to get the ball to Gary Harris in transition and off penetration and find Adreian Payne in early post-ups and as a trailer in transition. Appling needs to stay aggressive in looking for his own shot, especially in transition, but most importantly he needs to manage the game and make good decisions.
[+] Enlarge
Jonathan Daniel/Getty ImagesGary Harris is one of college basketball's top all-around players.
Harris is the most talented player on the Spartans. He plays the game with the moxie and pace of a seasoned veteran. He is a shot-maker who does an excellent job of reading screens, and he uses his shot fake to set up his drive. He is physical and is strong enough to play through contact.
Izzo has a rotation that goes eight or nine deep. Matt Costello, Gavin Schilling and Alex Gauna will need to provide consistent post play, Travis Trice is a skilled and versatile guard who can play either backcourt position, can shoot the ball with range and can provide solid defense on and off the ball, and Denzel Valentine can create plays for teammates with his excellent strength and vision.

My Candle in a dark room
Entrant: Mary
Nominee: Jennifer
She took me in when I had cancer and needed to move closer to medical care. She cooked and cared for me, drove me to appointments and helped me smile. Two years later, my son was diagnosed with leukemia. She did it all again, for me and my son. My son loved her as a friend, and when he was sent home to be cared for by hospice, he died in her living room. She comforted me then too. And, yes, after a time, she helped me smile again. She is sweet.

Well then I stand corrected. I had just seen numerous threads saying they weren't traditional, just new, so I guess I thought the same.and for the record, unity candles are not "traditional", they have only been around for a few years since the wedding industry needed to add something in to make more money. Actually, they've been around for more than 50 years, sorry hon. They aren't RELIGIOUS in origin (though the Methodist church has been incorporating them for quite some time due to the denomination's tie to flame as a symbol of God), but they are a lot older than "a few years old", and though they were made more popular in the 80s by TV, they were around before that. Sorry, that's just one of my random pet peeves when people dismiss them as meaningless drivel.

I love this "salt" idea, saw the website, it's great as well. Thanks for the ideas!I think the salt ceremony is a great idea. I make them for wedding gifts and peoples Cermonies. The best part is it's something you can see and actually use after the wedding is over. Even if you don't like this particular one, "why you need salt in your marriage" is a great start to explaining why you are doing the salt covenant as part of your ceremony. . http://www.etsy.com/listing/42407282/the-salt-covenant-a-wedding-gift-eco
