It's Hollywood week, and we're supposed to be floating on little clouds of Nicki Minaj's cotton candy hair and Mariah Carey's never-ending collection of butterfly accessories.We're supposed to be in heaven. But no. It's not that simple. American Idol has to be fresh and new, so they have to change all the rules of Hollywood week. What they don't seem to understand is they they just drew a mustache on the Mona Lisa of reality singing competition challenges.
Nigel Lythgoe waltzes out to tell a surprisingly husky group of competitors that the rules have changed this year. Rule 1: See how there are only men in this room? That's the first change. Just think of it as a middle school dance. Hollywood Week 1 is the wall where all the boys are standing, the one with the basketball scoreboard hovering above their heads. Hollywood Week 2 is the opposite wall, with all the girls twirling their hair while lingering close to the emergency exit. It's unnecessary, and it severely disrupts the usual ebb and flow of the dance of Hollywood week drama.
Rule 2: Producers choose the groups, no ifs, ands, or buts. Sure, in theory this means we'll get multitudes of groups butting heads rather than just the few that are comprised of shy guys, stragglers, and raging ego-maniacs, but in practice, it means continuous crimes against music, endless mild disagreement, and so much distraction that even some of the best singers in the competition are thrown off their game. It's a mess, and not the great kind. The worst result may be that terrible performances are rewarded with a second chance time and again this episode, perhaps as an acknowledgement that this new process was bad for everyone, but first, the judges did their best to thin out the herd in the initial sudden death speed round.
RELATED: 'American Idol' Recap: Yeah, Dude Looks Like a Lady
Most important to note at this point in the competition are those folks who lost it all in a matter of seconds. First up was Karl Skinner, who we fell in love with in Oklahoma City only to let go too soon in a fit of Coca-Cola-driven fervor. Unfortunately, Karl shows himself to be all growl and no true vocals, and he's sent home along with the group of strange rapscallions (including a man who drops a paper heart with all the ceremony of Criss Angel releasing a dove while he delivers his emo audition). He's followed by the singing doctor a.k.a. Dr. Calvin Peters, who I chastised for leaving behind his job helping to heal burn victims to pursue fame when we met him back in Charlotte. Next comes cutie-patootie firefighter Dustin Watts who was always lovable, but rather generic in this mixed bag of contestants.
Next comes the challenge. Cortez Shaw shows up with too much confidence for his own good, attempting to belt out the Whitney Houston classic "I Will Always Love You." And it's not good. His off-key, cocky performance starts a debate among the judges when Mariah inexplicably likes him (girl, is your falsetto range affecting your brain?). Nicki actually says she is "disgusted" and Randy says the only thing the kid needed to hear: "You ain't Whitney." Yet somehow, this cocky little smart-ass gets another shot at the big time. Sure, he sang a much tougher song than anyone else, but he clearly knows nothing about his vocal ability and that spells elimination.
The fake-outs continue as Nicki carries out a few jokes of her own. Her first victim is Bryant Tadeo, who she gets to admit he's tired so she can tell him "It's good that your tired because you're going to have a lot of time to sleep now that we're sending you home." But it's all a cruel ruse, Bryant's just dealing with a little emotional trauma now. No big deal. At least Bryant got a lesson in being grateful and excited about Idol. Oh and also, there's the part where he gets to stay. That's not bad either.
Lastly, we watch Brian Rittenberry, whose adorable wife survived cancer and then spent the second half of his audition sweetly fawning over Keith Urban. He attempts to country-fy Brian McKnight's "Back at One," and while he's still got strength and sweetness, it's clear the rough quality of his voice is serving to camouflage the lack of vocal ability. The lovable lug is sent home, and it's not pleasant to watch his dreams crash, the show is about singing and it was the right thing to do to let him go. It's a skill our judges only seem to have half of the time as auditions continue.
Almost as suddenly as it rehearsals began (because there was no time devoted to the cruel, yet fascinating process of self-selecting groups), the performances were underway, undercutting the vicious footage we've come to expect. It's probably better for our souls this way, but we were okay with the consequences of verbal sparring and bullys bested by their more talented teammates. Luckily, not everything has changed. We still get the requisite bathroom rehearsal. Unnecessary beat-boxing (unless you're Justin Timberlake or Blake Lewis, beat-boxers need not apply, but oh boy do they ever). We're also treated to an ego-crushing wake-up reel of the contestants before they've prettied themselves. Well, everyone except for Johnny Keyser, who apparently rolls out of bed with perfectly feathered hair and a cavalier attitude. And while even I'm jealous of his charmed life, full of eyes so sparkly they blind the sun and hair so naturally perfect it should be in a museum, his wake-up routine isn't exactly the highlight of Hollywood week. Then again, I'm not really sure what was.
RELATED: 'American Idol' Recap: The Panel is Haunted ... By Complete and Utter Civility
First group of the night is Mathheads, comprised of Matenee Treco, Matheus Fernandes, Gabe Brown, and Nick Bodington. After milking Matheus's tale of shortness for all it's worth (even having the kid lay on his bed so he could put his hopes out into the ether, "God, please help me. I've been waiting so long for this," even though he just had a fairly sizable shot on Ryan Murphy's The Glee Project. Matenee's got a case of the crazy eyes, Gabe has an issue or two with really singing out when he's not using his gutteral growl, Matheus rocks out like it's still 1984 and Van Halen is the pinnacle of musical fame, and Nick is simply so overshadowed by his cohorts that I couldn't remember a distinguishing factor about him if I tried. "Somebody to Love" by Queen earns them all another shot at the top 24, but I'm still wary of Matheus and his seemingly out of control ego.
Johnny Keyser, his pretty face, and his group take on a song that he didn't actually know, because he doesn't listen to human music, just the sounds of a million angels singing directly into his ear. "Reach Out (I'll Be There)" may be a classic Four Tops song that most fans of aural joy have heard at least once in their lives, provides a problem for Johnny in that it is a total blind spot. It means a complete jumble of misguided voices for Johnny's group.Johnny forgets his lyrics, but manages to keep on humming. Kareen Clark has the words down, but he's flatter than a piece of plywood. The harmonies are awful. Despite the fact that Aussie Keith can't believe that he knows a song that all-American kid Johnny doesn't, Johnny is sent on through while the other move on. Of course they keep the hot guy. This is Hollywood after all. What's Tinseltown without a few attractive people to keep us interested? (A town full of talented people who were judged fairly? Who wants that.)
And the disappoint keeps on keeping on. Curtis Finch and his unbelievable gospel/R&B voice have made him one of the voices to beat in the competition, but as it turns out, he's kind of a jerk. When his assigned teammate, scrawny little pop-punk-loving Charlie, gets sick, Curtis sees it as an opportunity to do better for himself, with the kid out of the way. Their third teammate does everything he can to help Charlie, even admitting it to the camera while Curtis stood aside expressionless, totally aware that taking credit for helping Charlie would be unwise after the truth had been caught on camera. When the trio performs, however, you'd never know there was an issue among them, but Curtis's capable runs are tinged with the knowledge that he would have let that poor kid hang out to dry if he needed to. Apparently, he didn't get the memo about everything he says being taped and presented to America so that they might one day choose to vote (or more likely not vote) for the guy who was too ambitious to help a guy in need. Naturally, the judges don't know about his backstage antics and they're wowed, sending all three through while Mariah inflated Curtis' ego by telling him she's been waiting all day to hear him sing. With a victory on his hands, Curtis is all team spirit suddenly, but I can't imagine that would be the case if the song had put him in danger. If only she wasn't right about his talent. Selfish or not, the guy can destroy any song he touches.
RELATED: 'American Idol' Recap: There Ain't No Crying (or Fighting) in Baton Rouge
Two more relatively boring groups squeak on by, giving speech-impediment sufferer Micah Johnson and his teammates Vincent Powell, Marvin Calderon, and David Willis a ticket to the next round. Also raking in the luck was sign language teacher Nate Tao's group of leather-jacket-lovers, who all went easily to the next round, even Cortez, despite his tendency to hop into off-key territory during "Some Kind of Wonderful." If Cortez keeps getting through, we're going to have the male equivalent of Karen Rodriguez on our hands again.
While we wade through two groups who can't even muster up a fraction of the lyrics to either "What Makes You Beautiful" (only the most infection pop song courtesy of the biggest boy band on the planet, One Direction) or any number of other well-known songs during this, a singing competition presumably filled with folks so set on singing they might want to listen to artists other than themselves. Two groups of lyric-losers come through and only Paul Jolley and Will White survive.
B-Side or the group formerly known as Three Men and a Baby (get it, because that one kid is 15 and the rest of the dudes are strapping men!), try a little Maroon 5 and Keith comes to his fellow reality judge Adam Levine's defense: "Adam Levin isn't dead yet, but he's alredy rolling over in his grave." Morbid, Urban. Gupreet Singh Sarin, Nicki's favorite "Turbanator" from New York, leads the group, many of whom forget the lyrics completely while Sarin at least fills his empty lyrical space with some scatting. The sounds are simply cacophonic and even though Gupreet does his best to salvage his flub, he's not much stronger than he was during auditions when Nicki had to beg her fellow judges to give him a shot. Yet somehow, the judges deliberate and come out with the idea that these guys, who blew their group audition, deserve another chance. Even Gupreet looks confused as Nicki exclaims her joy over her "baby group" living to see another day of competition. She says she pushes them through because "we are humans and we forget the lyrics, but it's about what you do in those moments that makes you a star," and we hear you, Nicki, but these guys don't seem to be the ones to use that card up on. Hopefully, I'm wrong and they heed Randy's command to simply "be better next time." Some act of God spared this undeserving group, but hopefully it will lead to somewhat of a small miracle when it comes time for solo Hollywood auditions tomorrow.
Suddenly, some glaring choice (that occurred in the last paragraph and surprised all of us) makes the judges realize they have to get tough and soon. Luckily, they are served up a nice hot plate of terrible singing to get them in the cutting mood. Last Minute, a group that included Jason Jones, Dan Wood, Jessie Lawrence, and some guy the producers didn't see a need to call by name forget their words and quite possibly how to sing, forcing Randy to burst, "How do I even judge this?" He doesn't really have to, and send the whole lot home.
Carrying on with the snooze train is a group organized by Ryan Conner Smith, who gets the singers to perform a cappella. The judges hate the lack of musical accompaniment, and Ryan's innovation (and lack of vocal prowess) is what sends him home while the rest of his group stays. Perhaps he should have heeded his vocal coach (and Katharine McPhee's mom) when she cast a disapproving look at the mention of an a cappella audition.
Burnell Taylor from Baton Rouge is known as the guy who made Mariah cry during auditions, but during Hollywood week, his group's "Some Kind of Wonderful" almost made her cry for another reason. Burnell doesn't know the words, and his vocals are suffering. Yet memories of his past performances apparently keep him alive, during the round that is supposed to be judged at face value and he and his teammate Tony Foster Jr. are safe while their cohorts pack up.
Finally, as the end of the episode approaches, the drama begins to emerge. Super 55, socially-challenged stutterer Lazaro Arbos' group is having issues. And if you ask Josh Stevens, it's because they're all spending too much time trying to fix Lazaro because he's "not from around here" and his stutter makes it hard to communicate. While Lazaro is concerned that his teammates take his speech issue as a symptom of deficient mental ability, Josh is the one showing off just how stupid he can be. Who's the one Nicki loves so much, she made a heart with her hands in his general direction during the sudden death round? Oh, Lazaro. That's right. Pipe down, Joshie. While Josh worries some more, Ryan Seacrest's voice-over hopes the group doesn't become a statistic (which is impossible because they're by default already a statistic. This isn't an STD prevention PSA. "Becoming a statistic" doesn't mean bad things happen to you.) And the only people in danger of statistichood turned out to be Josh and his buddy in bullying, Scott Fleenor, who plays the flat singer to Josh's boring 1950s sock-hop attendee. Lazaro and his teammate Christian Lopez (With the dreamy blue eyes and sultry, seductive singing voice) are the only ones worth watching, and when the voting is done, the judges only leave the talented ones standing. Scott simply sulks, but Josh takes this golden opportunity to right the wrongs he's committed since group rehearsals started to be a total ass. "If anything, you should be going on. We spent so much time perfecting what you needed to be doing," was all he could say through his tears to Lazaro before he parted ways with the talented young lad.
But Idol had more than one group tailor-made for total implosion. Country Queen pitted two eccentric young men against two strapping young country singers, one of whom has a serious issue with men who don't chop down trees or stomp around in muddy boots. JDA and Joel Wayman drive Army man Trevor Blakney nutty with their focus on showmanship, but his real problem seems to be the various ways in which both men are less attached to traditional expressions of gender. While they're completely willing to listen to his needs as a member of the group, Trevor is convinced his teammates are ignoring him and he flatout refuses to participate in the lyrical workshop that he whined so desperately for, complaining that he didn't want to "put on dresses and put glitter on." And his intolerance of people unlike himself (something producers were counting on) costs him his pride and his spot in the competition. He forgets his lyrics, while his glitter-wearing teammate JDA focuses on vocals and wins the judges approval. Everyone in the group, including so-so country singer Lee Pritchard make it through while Trevor heads home to pout about never having lost anything before. Well, my dear boy, the thing about winning is that it doesn't happen when you sit on your rear end complaining for an entire round of a cutthroat competition.
And just when it seems the judges' vow to be tougher isn't quite as strong as they made it sound, Cystic Fibrosis afflicted 15-year-old Kayden Stephenson comes to the stage with his group, which includes a mature and much more polished David Leathers Jr. (he was eliminated at the top 24 cut off last season), is up with "For the Longest Time." Idol placed all four members of DSDK together because, oh aren't they cute, they're all the youngest in the competition. Each of the youngsters delivers at the very least descent solos until it comes time for Kayden's turn. A quick shot of Mariah while Kayden flounders with his sweet, child's voice on stage makes the diva look like she's just seen something horrific. This sweet little survivor is crashing and burning before her eyes and she can't handle the thought of what the judges are going to have to tell him. Luckily, he's not sent home alone, alone Sanni M'Mairura and David make it through, but it's still heartbreaking to watch little Kayden trudge on home. While his story was awe-inspiring, it was clear during his first audition that his voice wasn't strong enough for the competition, yet the show couldn't resist sending him through and pumping him for failure. He should never have made it to the televised round of auditions; it was clear he wasn't strong enough. Yet in the end, Nicki has to convince Mariah (and any backstory-clinging viewers) that sending him home was the right thing to do. Yes, it was hard watching the panel send home a cancer survivor with an amputated leg after he wasn't good enough for the competition, but it's less difficult than watching him step even closer to his dream before it's taken away. Rip the bandaid off early, or we're left feeling horrible for a young kid who was advanced unfairly because his story looked great as an episode endcap.
Finally, the night ends in tears when Frankie Ford, who won us over with his story about singing for change on the subway in New York, lets the pressures of a contentious group mar his ability to use his God-given voice. Placed in a group with powerhouse Charles Allen, unstoppable personality Papa Peachez, and constant surprise Adam Sanders, Frankie is faced with a smorgasbord of musical variety. He could, as the least experienced member of the group, use it to learn. But instead, he spends the whole rehearsal period complaining that they don't listen to him, driving him to tears just minutes before it's time to perform. Oz, as they decide to call themselves, serves up a performance that's the vocal equivalent of the junk drawer. Nothing fits together, however great the value in each individual piece. Peachez is weak, clearly shaken up by the group dynamic. Adam does okay, but ultimately rescues his performance with a suggestive joke. And Charles is the only solid performer, pulling out a few high notes and impressive runs. Frankie, however, cries on stage, forgets his lyrics, and eventually gives up mid-phrase. Even if his story is admirable and moves us and his voice is a good one, this is not the behavior or attitude of someone who can win Idol. He's cut loose while Peachez earns another chance thanks to Nicki's incessant begging, but that's not the last we hear of the supposedly sweet singer from New York. He bursts out of auditions, barreling away from his friends and yelling about how he'll come back and win, but it's his line "They will not deny me" that is of concern. Frankie, you're a good singer, but no one, not even American Idol owes you a win or an instant ticket to fame. He can come back again, but unless he fixes that attitude, it's going to be the same story all over again.
With all that surprisingly lackluster nonsense out of the way, Thursday will deliver the solo Hollywood round, also known as the place contestants start to have their big moments (you know, those performances that seem to make the sky open up just so angels can come down and flutter around the singer on the stage?). There will be a bit of drama here and there, but what we're looking for isn't a fight or a hissy fit. We're looking for some kind of wonderful.
Of course, it will be strange to go through this process once more with the ladies next week. Hopefully, they don't leave us with such ardent fits of boredom as the menfolk.

Tragic car crash death of honeymooning bride 'devastates' her family
Friday, July 26, 2013
ROLLINSFORD — Relatives of the woman killed in a car wreck by an alleged drunken driver on Route 4 while on their honeymoon say they are "devastated" and that it is "unfathomable" that within a week's time, the newlyweds had both the best and worst days of their lives.
Preiss, 30, was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital, where he is recovering from internal injuries and facial cuts. He was in surgery Wednesday and his condition has been upgraded to good, according to WMUR.
Inside the Kia were Preiss and Fonda, Minnesota natives who were traveling through New England on their honeymoon. Fonda, who was in the passenger seat, was gravely injured in the crash. She succumbed to her injuries after being transported to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital.
Police say he crashed his Infiniti on Route 4 a short time later, near the intersection of Old Mill Lane. Tsopas attempted to flee the crash scene but was confronted by a man who lives in the neighborhood, according to court documents. Police allege Tsopas struck the man in the face and attempted to hit him with a stick, then fled into a gully, where he was eventually detained by a Dover police officer.
A portion of Route 4 in Rollinsford was blocked off for several hours on Saturday as emergency first responders worked at the scene.

Carsey Institute tracks growth in food stamp distribution
Thursday, January 17, 2013
DURHAM — In 2011, 13 percent of all American households relied on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) — the program formerly known as food stamps — with nearly 6.2 million more American households using the program now than five years ago, according to new research from the Carsey Institute at the University of New Hampshire.
According to the Food Research and Action Center, SNAP has remained particularly important for provid�ing families and children with nutritious foods and allevi�ating poverty. If SNAP benefits were counted as income, 4.4 percent fewer families would have been considered poor between 2000 and 2009.
■ Between 2010 and 2011, SNAP receipt increased at a similar pace (by roughly 1 percentage point) in every region and in every place type (rural areas, suburbs, and central cities). Northeastern central cities realized the largest increases since 2007, resulting in the highest rate of SNAP receipt (21.5 percent) of any area by 2011.
This analysis is based on U.S. Census Bureau estimates from the 2007, 2010, and 2011 American Community Survey. Estimates were produced by aggregating information from detailed tables available on American FactFinder.

How to Select
How to select Outdoor Flood Lights
Flood lights are the best devices to help you illuminate the outdoor location of your choice, whether it's a pool, porch or a basketball hoop. The greatest advantage of such lighting fixtures is their high efficiency and versatile designs that can be installed in the most hard-to-reach areas. The following guide will help you select the perfect outdoor flood lights for your home.
When looking for flood lights, there are several things that you need to consider before you make a decision. The first thing you should consider is the location of the flood light. The rules of installing such fixtures state that they should be positioned in front of the target that they will be illuminating. Also, the angle at which the fixtures would be mounted should not exceed 22 degrees; otherwise the direct light may obscure anyone's vision. Finally, allow at least 9 feet space between the flood light and the ground to prevent tampering and overheating.
The flood light's finish is also something that should be considered. Why? Well there are many options available today, including copper, colored aluminum, stainless steel and other materials. Select the fixtures that match with the décor of the landscape where they will be installed. Moreover, ensure that the flood lights are made from durable and weather-resistant material and have all cords and wires hidden in the secure compartment.
Additional features are also the factors to consider before buying any flood lights. For example, you may want such lighting fixtures to be equipped with motion sensors that will help you save some money on energy bills. Such sensors are practical and, most importantly, affordable for families with average budgets. Wireless light controllers are also something you might want your future flood lights to have.
The light bulb type is the detail that will define how much money you will spend on energy bills. Since every type of light bulb consumes different amount of energy and has different life expectancy, calculate the operating cost of each option and select the one that fits you the most.
The price of the flood light fixture and its brand are also details that require your attention. Don't buy the flood lights from a manufacturer that no one had heard about only because they have the lowest price because it is highly likely that their maintenance will cost you much more in the long run. Not only that, there's no guarantee that such flood lights won't break in their first month of use.

Chicken Kebab (Chicken Kabab) Recipe
I am not sure about you, but I absolutely love chicken kebab (kabab). (Previously, I was hooked on chicken kabab koobideh.) Whoever invented the idea of marinated meat threaded onto skewers and then grill over fire was a culinary genius–one of the most brilliant and delicious food ideas ever invented. I can't imagine a world where I can't savor grilled skewered of meat that is bursting with flavors; I simply adore grilled meat, especially kebab.
Kebab is traditionally made with lamb, but I opted for chicken kebab because I don't eat lamb. Chicken kebab is actually quite easy to make and the marinate process takes just an hour or less if you want. Ground cumin is the secret spice used in my chicken kebab recipe and it imparts an exotic aroma plus unique flavors to the meat. The bell peppers give both color and help refresh your palate after each bite of the chicken kebab.
With summer just around the corner, this chicken kebab (kabab) recipe might come in handy when you plan for your BBQ parties this year. Without a doubt, they are exceptionally tasteful.

This recipe is just perfect for me and my family… they are home for 4 days (long weekend here) and we'll have a barbecue party… Simple and surely delicious. Thank you…
Mmm, the kebab looks absolutely delicious!
If using dried parsley, would it be same amount as the fresh ones? :P
Really nice… I like those skewers.
I love chicken kebabs too and i too make them with chciken than lamb, and this looks beautiful and so so yumm.
If i had chicken pieces here athome i would have made them right now.
Your kebabs look delicious! I'm a fan of a grilled meal on a stick too, and the cumin and paprika sound great for chicken.
I have been using a favourite kebab recipe of mine from Jen! I shall make this and hers when we have a bbq end of May!
i like lamb kebab, the gamey flavour enhances the overall, carnivorous experience. :)
but chicken kebab's easily found, in comparison.
Oh I'm loving the marinade! The paprika and cumin must add such a great smokey and earthy flavour to these kebabs. Lovely images :)
Thanks for sharing this!
I love all kinds of kababs. I do like to try your paprika and cumin combination. Pictures looks so appetizing too!
Mmmmmm! I was just wondering what I was going to make for dinner tonight. No more wondering! Thanks so much for sharing! Some zucchini or eggplant might be good in there too.
Love this! I love threading pineapple along, as well :)
I love this website and especially this recipe. The picture looks awesome and I wish I could do nice photography as well.
I am Malaysian living abroad and constantly missing on those yummy Malaysian food.
This blog has helped me satisfy my cravings. Good work :)

chicken kabab recipe
how long it will take for it to cook?
Tried this on Monday, really good will cook again soon. Thanks :)
Amazing website1really impressed. I'm Persian and the most important thing in chicken kebob marinate is the saffron, I can't have chicken kebob without it. and one very important thing overlooked in Persian kebobs is the skewer. You should use thick metal skewer that would make the kebob cook from the inside. that would make the chickens more juicy. your recipe looks great, but I personally would use 4 times more onion and would grate the onion. And I use 2 times more lime-juice but I don't think non-persians would like it.
is there an alternative way of preparing the kebabs besides using the gril?
I baked them in the oven – for around 15 mins – at 250C. They turned out great :D
I made these the other day and they turned out great! Thanks for such a great share. Any suggestions of some dipping sauce to go with this please? Thanks a ton :)
excellent recipe….
nice and easy recipe…
Made these for dinner on a Foreman Grill–even on my little indoor grill, these were awesome. My daughter, who's usually pretty apathetic about what's being served for dinner exclaimed "this is so good!" Needless to say this recipe will be making frequent appearances in my culinary routine. Thanks for posting!

Whilst perusing the Archives at Instapundit, I came across this post: Instapundit » Blog Archive » BOB OWENS: For 'A Well-Regulated Militia,' What Firearms, Gear, and Skills Should You Own?…So, herewith some thoughts...My assumption here is that the "unorganized militia" will basically be a well-armed, equipped, and trained neighborhood watch. Anything larger (city- or county-wide) would pretty much cease to be "unorganized."So, what do I mean by "unorganized"? I don't think it means "disorganized" so much as "informally organized"; like a neighborhood watch, there will be people who take responsibility for things like putting together meetings, for example, but there is no official organization or hierarchy. To take a local example, the Seattle suburb Renton may have the "Renton Rangers", but they will not have battalions, companies and platoons commanded by colonels, captains, and lieutenants.

If Apple has taken BSD's code, and even if they don't return the enhancements, this is just a side effect I don't care about, because the original philosophy remains untouched.
And, once more, it would be nice for you to provide what you meen by 'free', as this whole discussion ultimately boils down to this question.
Why? X.org works.
If it is not broken, don't fix it.
I think someone here is talking to himself - three accounts with similar names, similar join dates, and similar amounts of posts.
How long has Linux had corporate backing? I think it's quite pathetic that in all these years they haven't made a good desktop, while the BSDs are still chugging along with mere donations.
Linux could afford to employ at least 10 Dillons and McKusicks to lead the development. I think there is a significant difference in mentality between Linux and BSD. Linux: politics first, code second. BSD: code first, politics second.
Last edited by joe_gunner; 12-12-2012 at 08:28 PM.
The only real money thrown at putting Linux on the mainstream end user desktop is that of Ubuntu, personally I think that their efforts have benefited Linux greatly although I find some of their recent maneuvers very clumsy.
Looking past this we are now seeing this new exploding market of mobile computing which is reducing alot of the need the general populace have for desktop/laptop pc's.
And here Linux is amazingly well positioned thanks to Android in particular, and in a way so is BSD as parts of FreeBSD is used in iOS (AFAIK). Sadly that doesn't seem to benefit FreeBSD particularly. One would think that Apple could atleast sponsor FreeBSD as a donor given that they ship millions upon millions of devices using FreeBSD code, meanwhile Google which base pretty much all their stuff on Linux is a platinum sponsor of FreeBSD. Go figure.
As for the 'politics' remark, seriously? Have you read the mailing list posts pertaining to Mathew Dillon embarking on his Dragonfly BSD fork, do you know who Theo de Radt is and how he came to leave NetBSD (which he co-founded) to create the OpenBSD fork.
No, there is certainly no less amount of politics in the BSD sphere, this comes with the territory however. People are different, developers are different, their goals are different.
Just in case it wasn't obvious, I was trolling in response to the other Linux trolls.
Design wise, I find BSD better thought out then Linux. Linux is currently more developed though.

And I do still play and enjoy both Daggerfall and the original DOOM.
Maybe you did not read my post, you can certainly start 64 bit apps from a 32 bit client - therefore you do need to not change it, but you dont get the community features that steam provides. Maybe it could be done with a 64 bit overlay that the app itself preloads in that case. Install World of Goo and Amnesia and see yourself what i mean. I highly doubt that there is one game out here that runs faster when using 64 bit but some games have got sound issues. With direct pulse audio support this should be easy to fix however.
And I do still play and enjoy both Daggerfall and the original DOOM.
And those saying that 32-bit is dead, there's still plenty of 32-bit CPUs out there. Why don't you tell Intel it's dead:

Bare Facts About Skin
The skin that holds us together is our body's largest organ. It is a vital part of our immune system and defends us against harmful sun and other light rays, bacteria and viruses. It helps maintain our body temperature and enables us to feel warmth, cold, pain and other sensations through its nerve endings.
As we age, many changes your body goes through are seen and felt in your skin - it becomes wrinkled, it gets dryer, and spots and growths may form. Your skin also takes longer to heal.
Some of these changes are natural and harmless, others are painful and annoying. Other changes may be serious and require immediate medical attention such as a growth that may indicate skin cancer.
Wrinkles - as your skin ages, it loses elasticity. The tissue becomes weakened and your skin becomes thinner and loses fat which makes your skin look less full and smooth. In addition, gravity pulls your skin downward. Wrinkles are hereditary - how wrinkled your skin becomes depends a lot on how wrinkled your parents were. And if you are overexposed to the sun, wrinkles will appear faster.
Dry skin - your skin may feel flaky and itchy as your skin gets drier, especially in dry, cold, windy climates. Less severe cases of dry skin can be treated by applying moisturizers to the skin once or twice a day and especially after bathing. Bath oils have a limited effect and can make your tub slippery - a danger to older people. Hot water, harsh soaps and even some chemicals in lotions can also irritate dry skin. If dry skin continues to be a problem, see a dermatologist. Severe cases of itchy, flaky and cracked skin may indicate a serious problem such as psoriasis, an allergy or an internal condition such as diabetes, liver or kidney diseases or cancer.
Moles - most people are born with, and will later develop, moles on the body. Generally, they cause no problems and of the few that become cancerous, 95 percent can be successfully treated if detected early. Any bleeding, change in color, pain, itching or appearance of a new mole should be reported to your physician immediately.
Age spots or liver spots are flat, brown spots that usually appear on the face, hands, back and feet. They are promoted by sun exposure in older skin and despite advertising claims, do not "fade" with the use of commercial creams.
Seborrheic Keratoses - are brown or black raised spots that look like warts. They are benign tumors that look like they were stuck on the skin surface. They are common in older adults and are an inherited trait. They are not contagious or precancerous, but can be removed surgically on an outpatient basis if they are cosmetically bothersome.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma - a red, scaly spot which is an early sign of a form of sun-induced skin cancer. If it is ignored, it may grow into the body and have to be removed surgically. In its early stages, it can be removed with the application of a cream, a topical form of chemotherapy, by liquid nitrogen or other superficial procedure. Squamous cell cancer typically develops on the rim of the ear, face, lips and back of the hands. It increases in size and can spread to other organs.
Basal Cell Carcinoma - another form of skin cancer, appears on the head, neck or chest as a small, shiny pearly bump with a translucent border. When left untreated, the cancer lesions begin to bleed and crust over.Basal and squamous cell carcinomas make up more than 90 percent of all reported cases. Both favor areas of the skin exposed to the sun, grow relatively slowly and have high cure rates.
Malignant Melanoma - is a less common but more serious form of skin cancer. The incidence of melanoma rises with age. Early detection is important because of its ability to spread quickly throughout the body. It usually appears as a dark brown or black mole-like growth with irregular borders and irregular pigmentation. The brown or black growth may turn shades of red, blue and white. Melanoma frequently appears on the upper back, chest and lower legs.
Any change in an existing mole could indicate melanoma and should be checked immediately by your physician.
Check Yourself Monthly
Make it a habit to examine the front, back, left and right sides of your body with a mirror. Don't forget to check between your toes, the soles of your feet and your scalp. The warning signs of melanoma are:
• Asymmetry - one half of a mole doesn't match the other half.
• Border - irregularly shaped, ragged, notched or blurred edges.
• Color - mottled, with different shadings of brown and black (and sometimes red, blue or white)
• Diameter - any mole larger than six millimeters (the size of a pencil eraser)
If you notice that your body markings exhibit any of the above characteristics, see your physician immediately.
Protect Your Skin
In Hawaii, it is tough to avoid the sun. Although the sun is good for you because it provides vitamin D, too much sun exposes you to ultraviolet rays that can prematurely age the skin and cause skin cancer. One severe sunburn can double the risk of developing melanoma. To help protect your skin:
• Limit sun exposure. The sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
• Wear sunscreen with an SPF (sun protection factor) rating of 15 or higher. The higher the SPF number, the more effective it is at blocking UV rays. If you are allergic to the chemical PABA in sunscreens, use a sunscreen that has a PABA substitute or is PABA free.
• Some cosmetics and medications like antibiotics and birth control pills may make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Read the labels on your prescription drug or check with your physician if you're taking medication.
• Wear a wide brimmed hat, sunglasses and gloves or jackets outdoors. Loose long-sleeved clothes may also help.
• Sand, concrete and water can reflect the sun's rays onto your skin. Sitting in the shade doesn't guarantee protection from a sunburn.

The Burden of Kidney Failure
Each year in the United States, more than 100,000 people are diagnosed with kidney failure, a serious condition in which the kidneys fail to rid the body of wastes.1 Kidney failure is the final stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Diabetes is the most common cause of kidney failure, accounting for nearly 44 percent of new cases.1 Even when diabetes is controlled, the disease can lead to CKD and kidney failure. Most people with diabetes do not develop CKD that is severe enough to progress to kidney failure. Nearly 24 million people in the United States have diabetes, 2 and nearly 180,000 people are living with kidney failure as a result of diabetes.1
People with kidney failure undergo either dialysis, an artificial blood-cleaning process, or transplantation to receive a healthy kidney from a donor. Most U.S. citizens who develop kidney failure are eligible for federally funded care. In 2005, care for patients with kidney failure cost the United States nearly $32 billion.1
African Americans, American Indians, and Hispanics/Latinos develop diabetes, CKD, and kidney failure at rates higher than Caucasians. Scientists have not been able to explain these higher rates. Nor can they explain fully the interplay of factors leading to kidney disease of diabetes—factors including heredity, diet, and other medical conditions, such as high blood pressure. They have found that high blood pressure and high levels of blood glucose increase the risk that a person with diabetes will progress to kidney failure.
The Course of Kidney Disease
Diabetic kidney disease takes many years to develop. In some people, the filtering function of the kidneys is actually higher than normal in the first few years of their diabetes.
Over several years, people who are developing kidney disease will have small amounts of the blood protein albumin begin to leak into their urine. This first stage of CKD is called microalbuminuria. The kidney's filtration function usually remains normal during this period.
As the disease progresses, more albumin leaks into the urine. This stage may be called macroalbuminuria or proteinuria. As the amount of albumin in the urine increases, the kidneys' filtering function usually begins to drop. The body retains various wastes as filtration falls. As kidney damage develops, blood pressure often rises as well.
Overall, kidney damage rarely occurs in the first 10 years of diabetes, and usually 15 to 25 years will pass before kidney failure occurs. For people who live with diabetes for more than 25 years without any signs of kidney failure, the risk of ever developing it decreases.
Diagnosis of CKD
People with diabetes should be screened regularly for kidney disease. The two key markers for kidney disease are eGFR and urine albumin.
eGFR. eGFR stands for estimated glomerular filtration rate. Each kidney contains about 1 million tiny filters made up of blood vessels. These filters are called glomeruli. Kidney function can be checked by estimating how much blood the glomeruli filter in a minute. The calculation of eGFR is based on the amount of creatinine, a waste product, found in a blood sample. As the level of creatinine goes up, the eGFR goes down.
Kidney disease is present when eGFR is less than 60 milliliters per minute.
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommend that eGFR be calculated from serum creatinine at least once a year in all people with diabetes.
Urine albumin. Urine albumin is measured by comparing the amount of albumin to the amount of creatinine in a single urine sample. When the kidneys are healthy, the urine will contain large amounts of creatinine but almost no albumin. Even a small increase in the ratio of albumin to creatinine is a sign of kidney damage.
Kidney disease is present when urine contains more than 30 milligrams of albumin per gram of creatinine, with or without decreased eGFR.
The ADA and the NIH recommend annual assessment of urine albumin excretion to assess kidney damage in all people with type 2 diabetes and people who have had type 1 diabetes for 5 years or more.
If kidney disease is detected, it should be addressed as part of a comprehensive approach to the treatment of diabetes.
Effects of High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a major factor in the development of kidney problems in people with diabetes. Both a family history of hypertension and the presence of hypertension appear to increase chances of developing kidney disease. Hypertension also accelerates the progress of kidney disease when it already exists.
Blood pressure is recorded using two numbers. The first number is called the systolic pressure, and it represents the pressure in the arteries as the heart beats. The second number is called the diastolic pressure, and it represents the pressure between heartbeats. In the past, hypertension was defined as blood pressure higher than 140/90, said as "140 over 90."
Hypertension can be seen not only as a cause of kidney disease but also as a result of damage created by the disease. As kidney disease progresses, physical changes in the kidneys lead to increased blood pressure. Therefore, a dangerous spiral, involving rising blood pressure and factors that raise blood pressure, occurs. Early detection and treatment of even mild hypertension are essential for people with diabetes.
Preventing and Slowing Kidney Disease
Blood Pressure Medicines
Scientists have made great progress in developing methods that slow the onset and progression of kidney disease in people with diabetes. Drugs used to lower blood pressure can slow the progression of kidney disease significantly. Two types of drugs, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), have proven effective in slowing the progression of kidney disease. Many people require two or more drugs to control their blood pressure. In addition to an ACE inhibitor or an ARB, a diuretic can also be useful. Beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, and other blood pressure drugs may also be needed.
An example of an effective ACE inhibitor is lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril), which doctors commonly prescribe for treating kidney disease of diabetes. The benefits of lisinopril extend beyond its ability to lower blood pressure: it may directly protect the kidneys' glomeruli. ACE inhibitors have lowered proteinuria and slowed deterioration even in people with diabetes who did not have high blood pressure.
An example of an effective ARB is losartan (Cozaar), which has also been shown to protect kidney function and lower the risk of cardiovascular events.
Patients with even mild hypertension or persistent microalbuminuria should consult a health care provider about the use of antihypertensive medicines.
Moderate-protein Diets
In people with diabetes, excessive consumption of protein may be harmful. Experts recommend that people with kidney disease of diabetes consume the recommended dietary allowance for protein, but avoid high-protein diets. For people with greatly reduced kidney function, a diet containing reduced amounts of protein may help delay the onset of kidney failure. Anyone following a reduced-protein diet should work with a dietitian to ensure adequate nutrition.
Intensive Management of Blood Glucose
Antihypertensive drugs and low-protein diets can slow CKD. A third treatment, known as intensive management of blood glucose or glycemic control, has shown great promise for people with diabetes, especially for those in the early stages of CKD.
The human body normally converts food to glucose, the simple sugar that is the main source of energy for the body's cells. To enter cells, glucose needs the help of insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. When a person does not make enough insulin, or the body does not respond to the insulin that is present, the body cannot process glucose, and it builds up in the bloodstream. High levels of glucose in the blood lead to a diagnosis of diabetes.
Intensive management of blood glucose is a treatment regimen that aims to keep blood glucose levels close to normal. The regimen includes testing blood glucose frequently, administering insulin throughout the day on the basis of food intake and physical activity, following a diet and activity plan, and consulting a health care team regularly. Some people use an insulin pump to supply insulin throughout the day.
A number of studies have pointed to the beneficial effects of intensive management of blood glucose. In the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial supported by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), researchers found a 50 percent decrease in both development and progression of early diabetic kidney disease in participants who followed an intensive regimen for controlling blood glucose levels. The intensively managed patients had average blood glucose levels of 150 milligrams per deciliter—about 80 milligrams per deciliter lower than the levels observed in the conventionally managed patients. The United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study, conducted from 1976 to 1997, showed conclusively that, in people with improved blood glucose control, the risk of early kidney disease was reduced by a third. Additional studies conducted over the past decades have clearly established that any program resulting in sustained lowering of blood glucose levels will be beneficial to patients in the early stages of CKD.
Dialysis and Transplantation
When people with diabetes experience kidney failure, they must undergo either dialysis or a kidney transplant. As recently as the 1970s, medical experts commonly excluded people with diabetes from dialysis and transplantation, in part because the experts felt damage caused by diabetes would offset benefits of the treatments. Today, because of better control of diabetes and improved rates of survival following treatment, doctors do not hesitate to offer dialysis and kidney transplantation to people with diabetes.
Currently, the survival of kidneys transplanted into people with diabetes is about the same as the survival of transplants in people without diabetes. Dialysis for people with diabetes also works well in the short run. Even so, people with diabetes who receive transplants or dialysis experience higher morbidity and mortality because of coexisting complications of diabetes—such as damage to the heart, eyes, and nerves.
Good Care Makes a Difference
People with diabetes should
- have their health care provider measure their A1C level at least twice a year. The test provides a weighted average of their blood glucose level for the previous 3 months. They should aim to keep it at less than 7 percent.
- work with their health care provider regarding insulin injections, medicines, meal planning, physical activity, and blood glucose monitoring.
- have their blood pressure checked several times a year. If blood pressure is high, they should follow their health care provider's plan for keeping it near normal levels. They should aim to keep it at less than 140/90.
- ask their health care provider whether they might benefit from taking an ACE inhibitor or ARB.
- ask their health care provider to measure their eGFR at least once a year to learn how well their kidneys are working.
- ask their health care provider to measure the amount of protein in their urine at least once a year to check for kidney damage.
- ask their health care provider whether they should reduce the amount of protein in their diet and ask for a referral to see a registered dietitian to help with meal planning.
Points to Remember
- Diabetes is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney failure in the United States.
- People with diabetes should be screened regularly for kidney disease. The two key markers for kidney disease are estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine albumin.
- Drugs used to lower blood pressure can slow the progression of kidney disease significantly. Two types of drugs, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), have proven effective in slowing the progression of kidney disease.
- In people with diabetes, excessive consumption of protein may be harmful.
- Intensive management of blood glucose has shown great promise for people with diabetes, especially for those in the early stages of CKD.
Hope through Research
The number of people with diabetes is growing. As a result, the number of people with kidney failure caused by diabetes is also growing. Some experts predict that diabetes soon might account for half the cases of kidney failure. In light of the increasing illness and death related to diabetes and kidney failure, patients, researchers, and health care professionals will continue to benefit by addressing the relationship between the two diseases. The NIDDK is a leader in supporting research in this area.
Several areas of research supported by the NIDDK hold great potential. Discovery of ways to predict who will develop kidney disease may lead to greater prevention, as people with diabetes who learn they are at risk institute strategies such as intensive management of blood glucose and blood pressure control.
Clinical trials are research studies involving people. Clinical trials look at safe and effective new ways to prevent, detect, or treat disease. Researchers also use clinical trials to look at other aspects of care, such as improving the quality of life for people with chronic illnesses.

Hmm... Jamaican rum is 75% and only 30/bottle...
only 200 per bottle and you can knock out 1337 people with a brewing kettle round.
Brewed under the German purity law(except for the yeast)
don't even try to mess with this bottle of beer
Schorsch-EISBOCK - 57% the strongest beer in the world.
Hmm... Jamaican rum is 75% and only 30/bottle...
But beer is beer.
crazycheese : "Hmm... Jamaican rum is 75% and only 30€/bottle..."
it was not distilled
and in this case germany is really the NR 1 because its the world record of "Beer" and the highest rate of Alcohole without distill
"But that's Jamaican shit, not German shit!"
thats not the point its just a distilled product vs a not distilled product
its "Eisbock(Ice-Rifing)" with all the natural taste. in a distilled product you lost the "taste"
this means its much stronger in "taste"

Anonymous, quit this kindergarten BS please.
If you want to offer something better, offer something better. I don't know what your nation "preference" is, but if they produce 58% beer, post it.
Q., yes, you are correct! What do you mean, by following Reinheitsgebot except for the yeast???
Looks good, but 200$ bottle is too much for my pocket Because if I buy it, I would sure taste it and not put it on shelf.
Last edited by crazycheese; 05-31-2012 at 03:27 PM.
i also posted some non german opensource beers
i don't drink beer at all ......
because of this the modern version of Reinheitsgebot do have a except of "yeast"
in the orginal version yeast is against the purity law
because of the 57% you can store it unlimited time.

hehe, great trailer.
Here is the new international trailer for Kick-Ass 2. It might as well be called the Hit Girl trailer. Collider.com also released the new poster for the film featuring Jim Carry as Colonel Stars and Stripes.
The Plot: Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist return for the follow-up to 2010's irreverent global hit: Kick-Ass 2. After Kick-Ass' (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), our hero joins them on patrol. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)—reborn as The Mother F%&*^r—only the blade-wielding Hit Girl (Chloe Grace Moretz) can prevent their annihilation. When we last saw junior assassin Hit Girl and young vigilante Kick-Ass, they were trying to live as normal teenagers Mindy and Dave. With graduation looming and uncertain what to do, Dave decides to start the world's first superhero team with Mindy.
Unfortunately, when Mindy is busted for sneaking out as Hit Girl, she's forced to retire—leaving her to navigate the terrifying world of high-school mean girls on her own. With no one left to turn to, Dave joins forces with Justice Forever, run by a born-again ex-mobster named Colonel Stars and Stripes. Just as they start to make a real difference on the streets, the world's first super villain, The Mother F%&*^r, assembles his own evil league and puts a plan in motion to make Kick-Ass and Hit Girl pay for what they did to his dad. But there's only one problem with his scheme: If you mess with one member of Justice Forever, you mess with them all.
Kick-Ass 2 enters theaters on August 16, 2013.

Wasn't the biggest fan of this but of course I'm still checking this out
Guess you had to say it twice Zillaman from all the excitement. Looking forward to Kick-Ass 2. I'm sure we'll have more protesters whine and cry about Hit-Girl again like last time.

what a perfect end to a wandering in the ocean night thread.
what a perfect end to a wandering in the ocean night thread.
I did. And I had liberal professors "teaching" the same garbage about how Americans are the worst terrorists. They're all the same. They say we're evil and everythings about money. But, they don't go to 3rd world countries and help. They like their American paycheck
When I lost friends in 9/11 my views changes a bit. I'm all for doing whatever we can to kill terrorists whatever crace or religion they may be.
for sure man. i watched the towers burn from my backyard across the river. mad friends and friends parents died that day. still i always think that logic should be used after events like that, and not reactionary politics based on emotions which is unfortunately what we got from that
this is all we need to know about the world right now.

Pomme Ganny 2
I promised there would be more Apple GREEN Paris pictures. When you start looking for something, suddenly it's EVERYWHERE!
Why is that?
I went for petit dejeuner at a friend's house and what was she wearing?On rue de Renne in this Plastiques window...Pylones has an apple-shaped purse in Pomme Granny green...A market basket - you can be 'IN' at all price levels of chicness in Paris.Evidently Le Petit Prince is permanently chic in his Granny Smith apple jump suit on rue Saint-André-Des-Arts. These porte monnaie /wallets are Pomme Granny verte/ green but it was the mint green marshmallows that caught my eye in this chic rue St. Honore accessories shop...You can be garbed from neck to toe in Paris' hottest color. Marie-Noelle supplied me with Apple green cars, bikes and almond dragees, so you can ride in it, sit on it, drink tea in it,
spritz yourself with it and eat it along with an actual Granny Smith apples!
