Thoughts on Labor Day with Diabetes
Hey there, All -- Happy Labor Day 2013!
As you know, this annual holiday here in the States and Canada is a time to honor the hard-working people. And in the Diabetes Community, there are certainly many different jobs to recognize.
We kept it light last year, with a timeless Ode to Diabetes Workers -- everyone from researchers to medical professionals to all of us PWDs (people with diabetes) who work tireless just to live…

I think you need a special candy raver liscense to enter the show with those things. Those things are considered lethal weapons.
where do i obtain such a license?
nah jk
thnx i figured that was the case, since its not a rave
I think the ravers generali just lick the walls of the mini biodome. I see a couple of them get out and look really scared and confused but if you direct them back into the little dome tent they seem to be fine.
Beleive me, my mind has been jello on many occasions. When things take a terrible turn go back to the last comfortable state you were in.
That's fuckin' tough though if your trip was an overdose and a a bad one from the get go. Guess that's why i slowly stopped doing acid.
What if he doesn't have a twat?
shooting glowsticks out yer twat? dope!
That thing fits in your twat, Ivy?
Speak for yourself, Amy.
Don't get lippy with me.
Wrong Forum.
Go to HTTP://WWW.CANDYKIDS.NET
it's finally happening
Röyksopp, FC Kahuna, Télépopmusik, The Knife, RJD2, Futue Sound of London, The Avalanches, 808 State, Zero 7, Tycho, Mr. Scruff
haha i am a chick actually
so yes, i do have a twat
but it would be sorta, er, uncomfortable, and unlikely to say the least
to have four glosticks up there
yeah, thats all i have to say haha
There has to be something seriously wrong with you if you smuggle glowsticks in an orifice of your body.
would give new meaning to "a healthy glow"....
aren't glow sticks considered drug paraphernalia in the states? :P
Candy Kids? This is one of the stupidest fucking threads I've seen on this board, which says a lot.
I can't wait for the line-up to be complete so I can stop clicking on these fucking threads.
I am a 37 year old raver who still loves the light toys. There should be no problem bringing in glowsticks. Last year when security was checking my backpack, he took a look at my Strobe FX lights (LED type lights on a wand) and he said "what's this, e-tard shit?" so I laughed "yep, E-tard shit".
He laughed, let me through and said "Have a good time man!"

With the clocks going forward this weekend, that extra hour of sunlight each day gives you the perfect excuse to give your home the deep clean you've been putting off all winter.
Follow these simple and easy tips to steam through your cleaning so you can put up your feet and enjoy Easter.
- Start from the top of the house and work your way down – that way you won't traipse dirt up the stairs.
- Tackle the dusting first. Use a damp cloth to capture dust and start at the top of your room and work your way down to your skirting boards.
- When tackling floors and multiple surfaces around the home, don't create more work for yourself, simply use the 12-in-1 steam cleaner to ensure a spotless finish.
- Give yourself extra storage room, by vacuum-packing your winter clothes and bedding before storing them away.
- Sprinkle baking soda on to a damp cloth and wipe around the edges of your dishwasher to remove stubborn stains, which can be left after excessive use.
- Defrost your freezer with your 12-in-1 steam cleaner using the spatula attachment. It's quick, easy and safe*, meaning you don't have to leave a freezer door open all night.
- Use a damp rubber glove to effectively remove animal hair from furniture.
- To get rid of odours in your fridge, spread baking soda on a tray and pop on the bottom shelf to soak up the smells – it'll be whiff free in no time!
- Cut a lemon in half and rub it along your chopping boards to freshen them up and stop transferring smells or tastes onto other foods.
- Use a coffee filter to clean all of the bits of fluff off your TV screen – nifty, eh?
Why not share you top cleaning tips? Post them on Facebook or tweet @LoveYourMorphy.
*Ensure you check with the freezer manufacturer before doing this.
Alexa Chung feigned incompetency, but then pulled a trio of delights out of the bag (or, more appropriately, the oven) but was still no contest for Victoria Wood who took home the bake off apron.

- Once the cocoa mixture has cooled, add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl, and mix together on a medium setting for two minutes or until fully combined.
- Pour the mixture into your baking tray and bake for 30 minutes, or until risen and firm to the touch. Allow the cake to cool in the tin for a few minutes before moving it to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- In a saucepan over a medium heat, melt the butter and golden syrup with 1 tbsp of water. Mix in the icing sugar until smooth. If needed, add a little extra boiling water before spreading the icing over the cake.

Scrumptious breakfast crumpets

- 450g plain flour
- ½ tsp salt

@jameelajamil got stuck into making her orange shortbread (unfortunately quite literally), while @RealDMitchell 's excitement got the better of him and he ended up with more icing sugar on his face than his biscuits.
They may have got off to an unpromising start, but the celebrities managed to pull it out of the bag in the technical challenge and the pork pies even passed muster under the piercing blue scrutiny of Paul Hollywood.

Jonathan Ross, Gok Wan, Abbey Clancy and Zoella were last night's Great Comic Relief Bake Off challengers. Their task? To win over Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood with cupcakes, profiteroles and a marble cake inspired by their favourite building.
@Wossy ' s profiteroles may well have resembled cookies in their stature and @Zozeebo 's beach hut marble cake looked rather like a building featured on TV Show Cowboy Builders, but we can't help but admire the effort the celebs put in all round.

Triple Layer Chocolate Cake
This decadent show-stopping chocolate cake is perfect for special occasions or a naughty weekend treat.
Cake ingredients:
● 1 and 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
● 1 and 3/4 cup (350g) granulated sugar
● 3/4 cup (65g) unsweetened cocoa powder
● 1 teaspoon baking powder
● 2 teaspoons baking soda
● 1 teaspoon salt
● 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk
● 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil (or canola oil, or melted coconut oil)
● 2 large eggs, at room temperature
● 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
● 1 cup (240ml) freshly brewed strong hot coffee
Icing ingredients:
● 1.25 cups (2.5 sticks or 290g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
● 3-4 cups (360-480g) confectioners' sugar
● 3/4 cup (65g) unsweetened cocoa powder
● 3-5 Tablespoons (45-75ml) heavy cream
● 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
● 1/2 - 3/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
● 15 oz (1.5 bags) chocolate chips, optional
Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius. Butter & flour two 9 inch round cake pans.
For the cake:
1. Sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium sized bowl. Set aside.
2. Using your Morphy Richards Folding Stand Mixer on high speed, mix the buttermilk, oil, room temperature eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl until combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients with the mixer on low. Add the coffee. The batter will be VERY thin. This is ok.

For the frosting:
1. Using your Morphy Richards Folding Stand Mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth and creamy - about two full minutes. This creates a creamy base for the frosting. Turn speed to LOW and slowly add 3.5 cups of confectioners' sugar and all of the cocoa powder. Beat until sugar/cocoa are absorbed into the butter, about two minutes. Turn mixer to medium speed and add the vanilla and cream. Once added, turn the mixer to high speed and beat for one minute. Add up to 1/2 cup of confectioners' sugar if you'd like to increase the frosting's thickness. Taste, and add salt to taste.
2. Place one layer, flat side up, on a plate or cake stand. With a knife or offset spatula, spread the top with frosting. Place the second layer on top, rounded side up, and spread the frosting evenly on the top and sides of the cake. Decorate with chocolate chips or as desired.
3. Cake stays fresh, moist, and soft at room temperature (covered) for up to four days. Cake may be refrigerated (covered) for up to seven days.
Gooey Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies
Share these easy to make healthy cookies with your colleagues or family.
● 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
● 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (use cream cheese in a block or spreadable, don't use fat-free, light or whipped)
● 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
● 1/4 cup granulated sugar
● 1 large egg
● 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
● 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
● 2 teaspoons cornstarch
● 1 teaspoon baking soda
● 1/4 teaspoon salt, optional and to taste
● 2 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
1. To the bowl of your Morphy Richards Folding Stand Mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, cream cheese (measure it by smooshing it into a 1/4-cup measure), sugars, egg, vanilla, and beat on medium-high speed until well-creamed, light and fluffy, about five minutes (or use an electric hand mixer and beat for at least seven minutes).
2. Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, optional salt, and mix until just combined, about one minute.
3. Add chocolate chips and chunks, and beat momentarily to incorporate, or fold in by hand.
4. Using a teaspoon, form heaping mounds of cookie dough. Place mounds on a large plate, flatten mounds slightly with your palm, cover with clingfilm, and refrigerate for at least two hours, or up to five days, before baking. Do not bake with warm dough because cookies will spread and bake thinner and flatter.
5. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius, grease a baking tray and place mounds on the tray, spaced at least 2 inches apart. Bake for eight minutes, or until edges have set and tops are just beginning to set, pale and glossy in the centre. Do not bake longer than 10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for five minutes before removing and transferring to a rack to finish cooling.
6. Cookies will keep airtight at room temperature for up to one week, or in the freezer for up to three months. Alternatively, unbaked cookie dough can be stored airtight in the refrigerator for up to five days, so consider baking only as many cookies as desired and save the remaining dough to be baked in the future.

January is a time for new beginnings, resolutions and a desire to get straight again after all the chaos and excess of Christmas. Now is the time to take a look at what you're doing, where you're going and assess whether your wardrobe is up to the task.
Elika Gibbs, stylist and founder of wardrobe organization site Practical Princess, has detoxed the wardrobes of everyone from Kate Moss to Lily Allen. 'It's important to do things in small, bitesized chunks so it's less overwhelming,' says Elika. 'Make a plan and do a couple of hours over a few weekends. Here are my top tips to make your wardrobe work for you.'
1. Clean inside your wardrobe. Take all of your clothes out and use a clothes friendly detergent to get rid of dust, dirt and any fusty smells. Don't forget the rail that your clothes hang from.
2. Hang your clothes in sections – skirts, dresses, trousers, blouses, jackets, coats etc.
3. For each item ask the following questions: Do you wear it? Why not? Is it dated? Does it fit? Does it need altering? Does it need dry cleaning? Be brutal. If it's in your wardrobe it has to work.
4. Using these questions, sort your clothes into six piles: spring/ summer clothes; autumn/ winter clothes; all year round items; alterations and dry cleaning; archive (things you want to keep for sentimental reasons or for your children); charity and resale (consider sites like eBay as well as car boot sales and charity shops).
5. Give yourself space. You don't need flimsy summer dresses and beach sandals in winter, or snow boots and thermals in summer. Pack away seasonal clothes including holiday items (skiwear, beachwear etc).
6. Store things cleverly. Put clothes away clean and carefully folded with moth deterrents and acid free tissue paper as needed. Create handbag fillers from newspaper stuffed plastic bags to help them keep shape. Hang necklaces off door hooks. This will save you time and money. Check stored items regularly for moths and damp.
7. You wouldn't eat a wonderful meal off a paper plate. Hang your clothes on proper hangers to help keep their shape.
8. From a glance, you should now be able to see what you're missing and what you have more than enough of – black trousers, stripy tops, anyone? The money you earned from reselling your unwanted items can help fund your next shopping trip!

We believe that when you start with great ingredients you finish with the best flavours and given that water is an essential ingredient for many recipes and the majority of hot drinks it makes sense to use BRITA filtration to help you achieve great results.
BRITA MAXTRA filtration reduces limescale, chlorine,metals and other impurities from your tap water. to help ensure not only the taste, but also the smell and appearance of both your hot drinks and cooked food is enhanced whilst helping your appliance last longer by preventing limescale build up.
Best to stay away from such a contentious area that is riddled with pitfalls –besides BRITA makes safe drinking water taste and look better but it is not a purification system –that is a completely different kettle of fish.
Hard water
Hard water is water that contains a higher-than-normal proportion of mineral salts – at the latest count, nearly half (47.22%) of the counties in the UK are in hard to very hard water areas. This means that nearly half of UK counties are consuming water that contains above 200mg/l in calcium carbonate equivalent (Source: British Water). You can check whether you're living in a hard water area by looking at this handy graphic.
Generally speaking, the most prominent hard water areas within the UK are in the South East of the country, however hard water areas within the UK range from Bristol and areas within the South West of the country all the way up to areas within Yorkshire.
Filtering is most important in these areas, so you can be confident that you're drinking water that has reduced impurities. The best way to ensure your hot drinks and cooked food is tasting as delicious as possible is to change your BRITA filter cartridges at regular intervals which will also help prevent limescale build ups in your machine.
Additional cartridges are available to buy on our website – we recommend that you change the cartridge in your Hot Water Dispenser at least once every month.
BRITA MAXTRA cartridges are also 100% recyclable, just visit their website to find out more about your nearest recycling location.
One of the Redefine Hot Water Dispenser's many advantages is that it's perfect for bringing a whole meal together without the need to bring multiple pans to the boil. With its 3 litre capacity, it can fill a pan full of BRITA filtered water at the perfect temperature so that you can cook pasta, rice, vegetables and much more; just quickly change the temperature for different pans.
To get you started, here is a recipe to inspire your next Sunday roast that you and your family can enjoy over the weekend. If you're feeling inspired, then make sure to share your creations on our Facebook page.
Amazing roast veg, with honey, herbs and balsamic
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 kg potatoes, peeled
750 g carrots, peeled
500 g beets, scrubbed
½ bunch fresh rosemary, leaves picked
½ bulb garlic, broken into cloves, unpeeled
Extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon runny honey
Good-quality balsamic vinegar
Bring three pans of salted water to the boil. Cut any large potatoes in half and leave any small ones whole. Place the potatoes in one of the pans and parboil for 5 to 10 minutes, or until half cooked. Drain the potatoes, then leave them to steam dry. Return the potatoes to the hot pan and shake it around to chuff up the edges. Repeat with the carrots and beets but do not shake them around after leaving them to steam dry.
Scatter the potatoes with the rosemary, half the garlic cloves, a drizzle of oil, and season with salt and pepper, then spread them out evenly in a roasting tray. Toss the carrots with the honey, a lug of oil and season well with salt and pepper, then add them to the tray, spooning over any remaining juices. Toss the beetroot with a lug of balsamic and oil, and season well with salt and pepper, then add them to the tray too. Scatter over the remaining garlic cloves and roast all the veg in the hot oven for about 20 to 30 minutes, giving them a jiggle every so often, or until everything is crispy, golden and delicious. Keep an eye on them and rotate the tray for even cooking.

If you feel overwhelmed by the idea of large scale makeovers, never fear, as there are plenty of quick and easy tips and tricks that will give a room a fresh look, without the high price tag.
To give rooms a bit of summer refreshment, and an organised new look, it's always good to pick a colour scheme that will give your rooms a universal theme. Take a look at our guide to colour schemes that are perfect to give rooms a boost.
Sea Breeze
The possibilities are endless when considering which blue hue to use in a room. A North facing room can be brightened up with a host of light, bright, blue accessories, whilst navy coloured pieces can offer a touch of sophistication or even create a nautical theme.
An easy and affordable way to brighten up a kitchen is to accessorise with some key blue appliances. The Morphy Richards Cyan Traditional Kettle and Toaster add a touch of vibrancy and elegance to a kitchen, no matter what the style.
Pretty In Pink
Pink doesn't have to look girly if you don't want it to, and picking a shade that you like can easily change a room's ambiance with a few simple products. You can give a room a sultry edge with a deep pink sofa or chair, whilst a room can be refreshed with pastel pink accessories, such as photo frames or painted side tables.
Sunshine Yellow
If you'd like it to always be summer in your home, then pick some key pieces that add a vibrant burst of yellow into a room. If you have a neutral colour scheme, or a room painted in a dark shade, then pick some pieces of furniture such as a yellow table or chair, yellow cookware or even just a couple of vases of sunflowers to give it a lift.
The Morphy Richards Large Yellow Storage Canister and Yellow Roll Top Bread Bin are fun and modern accessories for the kitchen that can fit into any room style, and don't have to break the bank!
If you have some great ideas of your own to spruce up a room with minimum effort, then why not share them on our Facebook or Pinterest pages?

"Nigeria Decides 2015: Post-Election Analysis"
Nigerians are anxiously waiting for election officials to count and certify the final vote tabulations from two days of mostly incident free voting to determine the country's president. An announcement on the final tally is expected late Monday or Tuesday. A very heavy turnout and some technical problems with a new computerized biometric voting system caused some polls to be kept open and extra day on Sunday. However, the United States and Britain issued a joint statement through the U.S. State Department stating they have seen no evidence of systemic manipulation of the election process, but they are concerned that the collation process, where the votes are being counted may be subject to deliberate political interference. Pre-election polling showed incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan and former military ruler Muhammadu Buhari locked in a tight battle for the nation's top post.
Join us Wednesday, April 1st at 1830 UTC for our live, one-hour television and radio call-in simulcast of "Straight Talk Africa" as part of Voice of America's "Nigeria Decides 2015" election coverage -- when host Shaka Ssali and his guests bring you post-election analysis of Nigeria's presidential election.

Plant a Tree
Friday is Arbor Day. First observed in 1872, Arbor Day exists to inspire people to plant, nurture and celebrate trees.
A picture biography, Planting the Trees of Kenya, conveys the spirit of Arbor Day to young readers and listeners. The story of Wangari Maathai, who received the Nobel Prize for starting the Green Belt Movement to replenish cleared trees and restore the health and economy of her country, will inspire all who read it.
Homeowners can get specific tree value data from the National Tree Benefit Calculator at www.davey.com. Go to "Ask the Expert" and click on "What is my tree worth?" Enter your zip code and select the tree to learn the economic and ecological value in dollars and cents of your tree.
To learn about tree species suitable for specific conditions, consult Native Trees for North American Landscapes by Guy Sternberg and Jim Wilson. For each tree featured, text and photographs describe the tree, its leaves, flowers, fruit, range, culture, problems, and cultivars. Photos show each tree in several seasons.
Find detailed instructions for planting trees at pubs.ext.vt.edu, along with many helpful articles on tree species, selection, and care. Check out "24 Ways to Kill a Tree". To insure the health and long life of your tree, dig a wide hole (roots want to spread out laterally in the top soil layer) and do not top the tree.
Pruning is one garden task that worries many gardeners. The standard guide, The Pruning of Trees, Shrubs and Conifers by George E. Brown, provides clear instructions for each species, detailing when, how, and how much to remove.
The Tree Doctor by Daniel and Erin Prendergast covers tree planting, care, and maintenance. It includes helpful sections on diagnosing plant problems, protecting trees from damage, and when and how to hire an arborist.
Each year, many school students ask for help with tree identification assignments. In addition to the several tree identification books at the library, we recommend consulting the Arbor Day Foundation's What Tree Is That? webpage at www.arborday.org.
The Historic Trees program distributes offspring from trees grown at famous and historic sites. You can grow a redbud from George Washington's River Farm, a honey locust from Gettysburg, a red maple from Walden Woods, a sweetgum from Graceland. For details, visit www.historictrees.org.
The National Register of Big Trees at americanforests.org/resources/bigtrees got its start in 1940 when the magazine American Forests put out a call to find the location and measurement of the largest specimen of American tree species. In 2010, the register named 733 champion trees from 637 species, and listed 221 eligible species for which there is no named champion. Some years ago, Louise Hoge of Burke's Garden nominated several of her Burke's Garden trees to the register, seeing unclaimed spots on the throne. Her nominations were approved and duly recognized as champions. The next year, she was caught off guard, however, when a carload of visitors from Georgia drove up to see her champion peach tree.
Some entire tree species have attained championship status in our culture, owing to their great contribution to the economy and environment. Three fascinating tree biographies are American Chestnut: the life, death, and rebirth of a perfect tree by Susan Freinkel, Looking for Longleaf: the fall and rise of an American forest by Lawrence S. Earley, and Oak: the frame of civilization by William Bryant Logan.
Trees can sometimes present problems with neighbors. If that is the case, it could be very helpful to read up on Neighbor Law: fences, trees, boundaries & noise by Cora Jordan.
More commonly and happily, however, trees are a source of nourishment and inspiration as they play an integral part in our environment. In Teaching the Trees: lessons from the forest, Joan Maloof reflects on the interwoven connections between a tree species and the animals and insects whose lives depend on it.
For more about trees, their selection and care, visit www.tcplweb.org or call 988-2541.

This thread makes me a sad panda.
XvBA will not be pulled from drivers; there are big-name buyers that use it. However, there are no public headers nor any kind of specification that states its X protocol implementation.
It's discrete, not discreet. You make me want to give kittens to nVidia every time you misspell it.
Out of VA-API, VDPAU, and XvBA, at least three of us (ymanton, marcheu, and I) agree that VDPAU will be the least painful to implement. Haven't talked with anybody else, mostly because at this point very few of the Gallium3D/Tungsten devs actually care about video, and they've got other things to work on anyway.
No, it can't. It's only there because they don't build two different versions of the driver, apparently; if they did, then XvBA support would just be compiled out of the publicly available driver.Supported means it can be used, and the driver can technically use it.
Reactions like these are why people keep this sort of information to themselves. In fact, I was really clear when I sent Phoronix the link that these benchmarks were never designed for comparing card A to card B.
What they ARE good at is revealing two exciting pieces of info:
1. The drop in CPU utilization across the board is magnificent for modern GPU's, even on Intel's side with the GMA 500 (sadly, known as "the one with the crappy closed driver").
2. The performance impact of putting XVBA or VDPAU on top of VA-API doesn't seem significant, meaning VA-API could end up a real winner, given that, assuming we get Ati and S3 issues worked out by year's end, we'll have an API for vid accel that supports chips from four major vendors. That's quite impressive. It'll make for an absurd XBMC LiveCD if they ever add support for it.
All things considered, however, I wonder if we're better off putting VA-API on top of VDPAU instead of the other way around. VDPAU already works on Mplayer, FFMPEG, VLC, and XBMC patch-free, and it's somewhat of an open standard. Making Ati's, Intel's, and S3's chips play along means we won't have to wait for patch updates for all the major video playback programs.

Not to mention I don't expect this to ever be supported in a reasonable time considering that fglrx can't even support the newest kernel in a reasonable timeframe.
Maybe AMD needs to take a hint from this economy and hold off from realeasing hardware before they have decent driver support for Windows and Linux. But of course they won't, as the driver is simply free software, while the hardware is where they rape the customers (for money), when the two products should be mutually exclusive.

Lisa S.
Bio: I am a first-generation college student. I enjoy movies and I am a grandmother of six. My major Human Service.
Q&A with Lisa...
Why did you choose Lansing Community College?
For financial reason. Location, small campus, great instruction and outstanding support we also factors.
What inspires you?
Getting up every morning. Enjoying the adventures that await me. Each new day something I've never experienced is coming my way. Embrace it.
If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?
The one superpower I would choose would be the ability to fly. Why, because I could travel all around the world and see all the places I've always wanted to see such as the Amazon Jungle, Peru, St. Thomas and Greece.
What famous person would you like to meet and why?
Harper Lee. She wrote, To Kill a Mockingbird." It is one of my favorite books plus I like to know why she refuses interviews.
What do you do for fun? Other than school work...lol!
I enjoy reading and going to the movies. I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures.
If you won $3 million, what would you do with the money?
I would pay taxes on it then buy each one of my children a house. I would save money towards my Master Degree. I also would provide scholarships to TRiO students and buy a bus for cultural events. I would end up giving most of it away.
What are you hoping to or have you gained from being part of the TRiO
A sense of pride of self-accomplishment. Letting myself be myself.

|A Generalised Kummer-Type Transformation for the ${}_pF_p(x)$ Hypergeometric Function
In a recent paper, Miller derived a Kummer-type transformation for the generalised hypergeometric function ${}_pF_p(x)$ when pairs of parameters differ by unity, by means of a reduction formula for a certain Kampé de Fériet function. An alternative and simpler derivation of this transformation is obtained here by application of the well-known Kummer transformation for the confluent hypergeometric function corresponding to $p=1$.

wine week: light, yet bold, fashion
tarte's wine week continues with today's feature: whites! Can you think of anything more refreshing on a hot summer afternoon than a glass of chilled white wine? We sip this pale-hued vino in the colder months, too – especially when we're munching on veggie dishes, pastas, or fish. Of course, if you're prone to spillage (as we are), you know that white is the choice when light-colored clothing or drink-in-hand dancing might be involved.
Not all whites are created equal, however – they can range from clear, crisp, and grassy to golden, sweet, and rich. Below, a primer on a few of our favorite shades of white… and outfits to go with them all.

Forty-niners rally past Falcons to win NFC title
Monday, January 21, 2013
ATLANTA — Make way Joe Montana and Steve Young. Colin Kaepernick is leading a brash new group of 49ers to the Super Bowl.
Montana led the 49ers to four Super Bowls wins and Young took them to No. 5. It's up to Kaepernick to get No. 6 when the 49ers play in the NFL title game for the first time since 1995.
Gore had a 5-yard touchdown run to cap an 82-yard drive to open the second half.
The Falcons led 17-0 following Ryan's 20-yard touchdown pass to Jones on the first play of the second quarter.
Matt Bryant's 35-yard field goal capped the Falcons' second drive.
The Falcons had a strong start for the second straight week of the postseason. They led Seattle 20-0 at halftime in last week's divisional playoff game and lost the lead before winning 30-28.

No KLANG support? Lol
Phoronix: Linux Audio Editing Is Better With Ardour 3.0
The high-end open-source audio workstation software Ardour is up to version 3.0. Ardour 3.0 features many improvements to this GPLv2+ software...
No KLANG support? Lol
It has been over a year since development work for 3.0 version started. This version packs many differences and improvements from the 2.x and has been long waited for. The release seems like a premature one (the buglist on the roadmap for 3.0 was %60 or so fixed) to attract more user feedback and possible developer contribution. So we may call it betaish. But I hope all remaining problems will be sorted out and we will have a fully stable ardour 3.x in the coming months. Good work ardour team!
Last edited by glxextxexlg; 03-12-2013 at 06:05 AM.
I'm currently using Reaper and I'm afraid to use Ardour. What if they decide that VST support is not a good idea and decide to remove it? This will leave people in the cold after they've invested considerable time in their Ardour projects.
And btw, "over a year since development started"? You bet! MIDI tracks have been in the works since 2006. So it's safe to say that it's at least 7 years in the works It's also pretty stable.
Currently, using a DAW is a vendor lock-in thingy. You stick with it if it looks like it provides long-term support for something you need. With some third-party, unofficial and unstable support for Windows VSTs you get zero long-term support guarantees.
Last edited by RealNC; 03-14-2013 at 02:18 AM.
btw if this release opens the way to a native reaper release for linux then ardour will fulfill its duty. who cares about paul's monthly income from ardour being hardly enough to keep him developing and mindless zealots that follow him (while the development is soo slow?) development of ardour is slow because paul davis has set up a system that every donation or subscription is paid directly to him and not distributed among developers fairly. as a result no clever developer helps him finish the job only mindless zealots do
