Nearly bankrupt T.O. says, 'I'M IN HELL'
When we last heard from Terrell Owens, he was announcing his return to pro football – not the NFL, mind you, the Indoor Football League. He'll be paid $250,000 to $500,000 by the Allen Wranglers, which is a good thing, because Owens really needs the money. In fact, he's nearly broke. Or so he tells [...]

Affordable Health Care. Creating more low cost insurance alternatives so small businesses can cover employees and their families.
Stable Funding for Schools. Establishing a Rainy Day Fund to stabilize school funding over the long term.

"The design was just as beautiful in person as it was on the computer screen. I'm so glad I chose the rounded corners and pearlized paper stock really made the announcement special."
"I absolutely love this design and the beautiful colors. I used one color picture as the larger picture, then did black and white pictures for the smaller ones. The color scheme worked great for color pictures and black & white. I also ordered the matching address labels and thank you cards and it looked so great together."
"The product was easy to make, was delivered quickly and the quality of the card was excellent! I just wish I ordered more. Wish it had been a little cheaper."
"Everyone loved our cards, it came out better than we imagined. The customer service was top notch! I enjoyed working with Tiny prints for our first newborn announcement cards. Exceptional quality and great service!!"
"Super Happy I choose this card. It's totally adorable. So far many family and friends love it and R giving Us a call back. I used this one as a birth announcement and New Year Cheer! Thank you tiny prints for the lovely Desing! "

The inaugural Korean Grand Prix was a real race of attrition, so you would think Williams technical director Sam Michael would be pleased that both his drivers took home points. But, were it not for the tyre troubles Rubens Barrichello and Nico Hulkenberg faced during the race, Michael believes the FW32 had more than enough performance for the duo to have finished higher up the order than their respective seventh and tenth places. He explains why he hopes the British team will show their full potential at the forthcoming Brazilian event
Q: What were your impressions of the Korea International Circuit?
Sam Michael: The circuit layout was great, it certainly made for interesting racing! For the first Grand Prix, it was a good effort and it's sure to be a race that will grow with the calendar.
Q: Was it an interesting technical challenge? How did grip levels evolve during practice and qualifying?
SM: The rate of circuit evolution was high, with a massive change in surface grip throughout the practice and qualifying sessions. This is normal and to be expected for the first race on a new track.
Q: The cars were slowest through the speed trap in qualifying. Why was this? What was your weather forecast for the race at this stage of the weekend?
SM: We did target a high level of downforce expecting rain for the race. Even so, we were slower in the speed traps than we expected to be.
Q: Did seventh and 10th places in the race reflect the competitiveness of the FW32?
SM: No, not entirely. If you compared the cars that we finished behind and if you consider Nicos pace in the opening stint when he overtook Kubica and was attacking Button, then, near the end of the race, we had both cars well into the points. Unfortunately we had a tyre puncture on Nico's car and Rubens went off the road and lost a couple of positions. So of course we were not happy that we'd scored the points that the FW32 was capable of.
Q: Barrichello lost a couple of positions towards the end of the race. Given the state of his tyres, how much of an achievement was it to get the car home?
SM: Well, those conditions are always difficult for drivers and the team, but of course in F1 it is the same for everyone. It's merely an opportunity to shine!
Q: A slow puncture forced Hulkenberg to make an unscheduled pit stop on Lap 51. How quickly was the tyre deflating & did you consider keeping him out, given that there were only four laps to go?
SM: That's exactly what the engineers were doing on the pit wall. They were monitoring a tyre pressure leak, but suddenly it accelerated, so they had to pit. Nico did well to recover from the Safety Car and his puncture to score a point for the team.
Q: The Brazilian Grand Prix comes next. How do you expect the FW32 to perform at Interlagos?
SM: Very well, hopefully! We can see for a variety of factors that we werent able to show our full potential in Korea and naturally we are expecting more in Brazil.

Hmm.. A quick glance at my (heavily thumbed) copy of the FHS suggests that they *shouldn't* be created. However, this is *your* system and so it's up to you whether to create them or not. I know some people create the following symlinks: /usr/etc-->/etc /usr/var-->/var. It's up to you really.. I can certainly vouch for the fact that none of the base LFS packages need /usr/etc or /usr/var and that in the unlikely event that for some wierd reason one did, as long as it used the install program when running make install (or equivalent), it would create the directory anyways. But as I say it's up to you whether to create them. FWIW, I don't like them and you've just reminded me to delete them off my brand new system.

She remembers her name. She remembers the name of the president. She remembers the name of the president's dog. She remembers what city she lives in. And on which street. And in which house. The one with the big olive tree where the road takes a turn. She remembers what year it is. She remembers the season. She remembers the day on which you were born. She remembers the daughter who was born before you – She had your father's nose, that was the first thing I noticed about her – but she does not remember that daughter's name. She remembers the name of the man she did not marry – Frank – and she keeps his letters in a drawer by her bed. She remembers that you once had a husband, but she refuses to remember your ex-husband's name. That man, she calls him.
She does not remember how she got the bruises on her arms or going for a walk with you earlier this morning. She does not remember bending over, during that walk, and plucking a flower from a neighbour's front yard and slipping it into her hair. Maybe your father will kiss me now. She does not remember what she ate for dinner last night, or when she last took her medicine. She does not remember to drink enough water. She does not remember to comb her hair.

When you get the base LFS built, let it take over. Then there's no question that anything you build has connections to the previous host. That's not to say that you shouldn't do prep work from the host for that time. You should have all your BLFS, etc., tarballs downloaded, ready for compilation.

text: The installation of a wireless security alarm system is a piece of cake. The advantages are undeniable as the installation process is clean, easy and invisible. As there are no cables involved, you just have to consult the implantation scheme and with a screw driver in one hand and a drill in the other, you're ready to get to work and do it yourself. Consult our 4 steps guide to see the steps you have to follow during the implanatation process of your Somfy alarm or the detailed installation guide to get a closer look on all the aspects you have to consider before and while setting up your alarm. To convince you that installing a wireless alarm is even easier than setting up an IKEA bed (and we all know how easy that is), we posted a video (in French) with the basic steps you need to follow. |

Histone deacetylases (Hdacs) are transcriptional repressors with crucial roles in mammalian development. Here we provide evidence that Hdac8 specifically controls patterning of the skull by repressing a subset of transcription factors in cranial neural crest cells. Global deletion of Hdac8 in mice leads to perinatal lethality due to skull instability, and this is phenocopied by conditional deletion of Hdac8 in cranial neural crest cells. Hdac8 specifically represses the aberrant expression of homeobox transcription factors such as Otx2 and Lhx1. These findings reveal how the identity and patterning of vertebrate-specific portions of the skull are epigenetically controlled by a histone deacetylase.

At 14-years-old, Matt Oldenburg and his family got a big surprise from dad.
"I quit my job and I'm buying a zoo. That's truly how he told us."
The Zoo of Acadiana has been open for 21 years, the Oldenburg's have owned and operated it since 2002.
"The zoo at that time needed some tender loving care."
The Oldenburg's jumped right in making a number of major improvements and additions. The playground and some monkey habitats, for instance, used to be a parking lot.
"You can walk around and really feel a personal touch around here. You can tell that there's someone behind it that really cares about the animals."
The Oldenburg's have made an effort to engage the community. From having a naming competition for a pair of new tiger cubs, to an invitation to a giraffe wedding.
"We really want people to be part of the zoo. We want them to walk around and really feel like they helped put this thing here and they helped build it and it's all here because of them."
As for any hints of what the new name of the zoo might be...
"It's a really loveable name that we think people are going to really appreciate it."

The Born Digital Wine Awards reward great content which is first published on the web and not in print to highlight the wealth of wine content being created online by writers everywhere. We are currently working on the BDWA Awards 2013 process and will announce details in January 2013 on this site.
Please subscribe below to ensure you are the first to hear.
Contact Us here for any press, sponsor or submission questions.
Today, the much anticipated results of the Born Digital Wine Awards 2012 are unveiled. The inaugural awards proved an instant success, with an enthusiastic number of entries (in excess of 300), coming from 24 different countries across the world. The aim of the awards is to give value to writers, photographers and videographers who are successful at creating wine content online – it must be "born digital" to qualify – ie be published first online.
The panel of judges comprises leading figures both in wine journalism and general publishing from around the world:
"Blogs are now an essential part of wine information, and to find one's way in the jungle of wine blogs, a competition like BDWA, with peers as judges, is incredibly useful" comments Herve Lalau, a judge at this years Born Digital Wine Awards.
The judges had a tough job indeed and it was a very close call….but without further ado…..
The winners of the Born Digital Wine Awards 2012 are:
1. Matt Wilson (MattWilson.cl): Small Wine Producers in the Maule Valley Chile
[nggallery id=5]
These are a series of photographs I made during three visits to a group of small wine producers in the Maule Valley in Chile. They own one or two acres of old carignan, pais grancahe and mouvdre vines. They use horses and old farming methods. The wine is fermented and stored in ceramic jars called "tinajas" The vines are up to 100 years old and they have been grafting some of them.2. Mick Rock (Cephas): A biodynamic day at Dr Bürklin Wolf
[nggallery id=6]
Some of the many tasks being undertaken on a day in late May at Dr. Bürklin Wolf, who are based at Wachenheim an der Weinstrasse in the Pfalz region of Germany. In 2005 the decision was made to convert all their vineyards to biodynamic viticulture. Today this is being done under the guidance of consultant Monty Waldin.3. Giacomo Tincani (La Basia): Tie (Legare)
[nggallery id=2]
This photo essay shows the binding of vine-shoots, traditionally done with willow branches. After pruning, when the tiny buds of this year's growth have just appeared, vine-shoots are gently bent along the wires and tied with a flexible willow branch in one quick movement. Photographs were shot in late winter in the vineyards of La Basia, a small winery in the Lake Garda region (Italy). The photos show a patient, careful manual method, passed down from father to son over many generations. The work, and thus the images, depict a quiet and meditative relationship between man and environment. These photos are part of a larger ongoing project to document the various unique stages in the seasonal cycle of a family winery, where traditional techniques coexist alongside modern technology. Rather than a nostalgic vision of past times, they are intimate moments of a dynamic juxtaposition: a tie between old traditions and today's practices.The winner of each category receives 1,000 Euros, and a Circle of Wine Writers and Jancis Robinson Purple Page membership, and a pass to the 2011 European Wine Bloggers Conference.

Q: I am unable to do some of the things that I know I need to do – - things that require upper body strength. Can you give me some specific exercises to strengthen my arms, shoulders and upper back?
A: Typically women do not have strong upper bodies. Unfortunately this lack of strength can lead to injury and loss of ability. Many common movements such as lifting heavy objects or placing items over the head –- require strong upper body muscles.
It is wise to take the time to build up these muscles so that you avoid injury and maintain independence and mobility. Here are some exercises for strengthening your upper body.
At home:
- Push-ups
- Pull-ups
Home exercises are the most convenient. You can do push-ups with no equipment at all. They may be the oldest exercise in the book, but there is a reason. They work! You get a lot of bang for your buck with push-ups. There is a lot of muscle involved in this simple movement. The same is true with pull-ups. They are tough for many women. But if you can do even an abbreviated version –- just a slight upward pull –- you're doing a world of good.
At the gym:
- Seated rows
- Bent over rows
- Upright rows
- Military press
- Bench press
- Biceps curls
- Triceps curl
The gym has the advantage of offering a variety of equipment. You don't need to do all of the exercises listed above; some of them work the same muscle groups. If you did three different lifts each time you worked out, you would be hitting all the right spots. Of course, if you have weights at home, you can do many of these at home instead.
There are many new gizmos on the market today to enhance your weight lifting program.
Resistance tubing: Resistance tubing or elastic bands are stretchy bands that you can use for weight lifting type exercises. Instead of weights, you use the tubing or bands to provide resistance. Since they are light, they are very convenient for traveling -- you can take them with you anywhere. They also provide a lot of variety and a tough workout.
- Fitness ball: You may have heard about these. They are the big, bouncy balls that you can sit on, roll on or lean on to perform a variety of different exercises. I like the fitness balls because you can use them for resistance. You can also use them to increase your flexibility and balance.
Medicine ball: Medicine balls are weighted balls that many athletes use to condition their upper bodies. They are fun for doing drills with another person. My favorite is to stand back-to-back with another person and pass the ball as you twist to your side. Not only are you building upper body strength, but you are also working your
abdominals and increasing coordination.

Many men might think they're already aware of the power a pair of silky, shiny stockings or hose can have over their sexual consciousness, but not all go so far as to submit to the dominant will and overwhelming feminine power of Pantyhose Supremacy's legion of leather-clad dominatrixes. Perhaps, though, they should. Combining two thrilling fetishes, Pantyhose Supremacy is sure to attract any guy who melts into a puddle of hormonal goo whenever he spies a sophisticated dame with long stockinged legs and a cruel glint in her eye. If that's you, it's ok, you can admit it. We're all friends here.
Those unable to manage sexual self-satisfaction without the abusive verbal "encouragement" of a stunningly sexy pornstar who has slipped into shiny nylon stockings will practically plotz upon visiting Jerk Off Instructors, one of the more intriguing sites on the Fetish Network. With more than a hundred exclusive scenes that show everyone from Nina Hartley (still going strong) to Erica Campbell (long since gone) laying back in sensually appealing hosiery, showing their barely concealed coochies, and verbally coaxing, abusing, and otherwise "encouraging" you to blast your load into a waiting Kleenex or gym sock, Jerk Off Instructors is exactly what it claims to be, just more disappointing. Full details coming up right now!
There's nothing quite like grabbing a glimpse of something you're not supposed to see. Sneaky Peeks might not be as tangible and thrilling as real voyeurism, but it's still quite a solid romp through the bedrooms, bathrooms, and laundries of very attractive European women. Unaware that they're being filmed by some camera-wielding voyeur, these lovely ladies casually and candidly slip out of their jeans, work uniforms, evening gowns, and summer dresses to reveal skimpy little panties that are bound to have your imagination running rampant in no time. Voyeurs take note: Sneaky Peeks has been tailor-made for you and your sneaking, peeking habits!
Proving that stay-at-home wives needn't be the shy, retiring, and sexually submissive type, Kelly Anderson devotes her second adult online venture to foot fetishism, one of the world's most popular and continually pervasive fetishes. With a wife this insatiable, this dedicated to foot fucking, licking, sucking, and stroking, Kelly and Shawn's marriage must be exactly as thrilling as their sites makes it seem, so why not check it out for yourself?
When you've named yourself "Angel" and are attempting to become the greatest, most famous, most sought after adult performer in the history of the industry, you're definitely a complex individual. Angel Wicky, whose self-titled official website goes under the Pink-O-Scope today, is a buxom blonde hottie with a penchant for dressing up in crazy outfits and bringing herself to orgasm in front of your very eyes. Also the host of her very own podcast and a master striptease artist, Angel Wicky might not exactly be bound for superstardom, but she's certainly on her way to a slew of new members signing up to her brand new all-Angel website.
You've got a nylon fetish, don't you? Well, if you've never found yourself hiding a pair of your ladyfriend's pantyhose after "accidentally" letting them get in the way of a furious masturbation session, you're likely unfamiliar with the many forms of fetishistic nylon hiding, acts about which Hide Nylons seeks to enlighten you. Starring gorgeous European girls who remove their hose only to work it into their most delectable orifice, give it a moist squeeze or two, then slowly pull it out for your kinky fetishistic entertainment. Sounds like a hoot, right? Well, there's more to Hide Nylons than meets the eye, that's for sure.
Those who delight in the sensual, erotic pleasures gleaned from a brief glimpse or touch of a slender female leg surrounded by pantyhose or stockings are handed their own Fetish Network website, Nylon Fetish Videos. Promising to bring its members exclusive scenes of softcore, masturbation, and lesbian sex scenes that always incorporate nylon hosiery, this site seems a surefire way to scratch that particular fetishistic itch. Unfortunately, as with so many fetish porn sites, Nylon Fetish Videos struggles to pull it all of without hitting some major bumps in the road.
You're the kind of guy who's always trying to peek beneath a short skirt or catch a glimpse of a whale tale whenever a cute girl at the record store bends down to pull an early Neko Case CD from the bargain bin. You, sir, are a devoted admirer of women's undergarments, especially when the women wearing them are sexy little minxes willing to throw a glimpse of waistband or a flash of crotch your way just to excite. Panty Man is a website tailor made for guys like you, guys who long for endless hours sitting before a parade of gorgeous ladies in underwear more tasteful than tacky. It may mostly hold softcore photos and videos, but as any Panty Man knows, sometimes soft and sensual beats hard 'n' heavy hands down!
