Tab Julius is a software architect who seems to spend his time shoveling snow.
If you spent your musically developmental and formative years in the basement of a college radio station, you know the satisfaction that comes from championing some unknown alterna-electro funk band from Portland. With this satisfaction comes the devastating emptiness when they inevitably sell their catchy debut single to Mitsubishi for use in a commercial for a sedan with above average gas mileage. The rise of illegal downloading, the shrinking of radio playlists, and the decline in CD sales have forced... READ ON
The Presbyterian Church, USA, has just decided that churches will be allowed to refer to the Holy Trinity as "Rock, Redeemer, and Friend" or "Mother, Child, and Womb" or any other gender-neutral threesome a particular congregation finds compelling. I bring this up exclusively because for the last several weeks I have been dying to share something: The word Presbyterians is a perfect anagram of Britney Spears! (I came to find this out because my new book contains a lot of anagrams, which resulted in my... READ ON
Today is Juneteenth, one of those American holidays that involves neither getting off work or buying a card, and so is therefore more or less forgotten. Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of the slaves by a Union general in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865. Initially, I was going to celebrate June 19th the way I celebrate all other holidays--that is to say, by not blogging--but then when I was reading about Juneteenth, I came across the word portmanteau (which is a great word, and the...

I presume that everyone in America has quit their jobs in order to watch every game of the World Cup (I can't confirm this on account of how I haven't left my apartment since the tournament started last week), and so you probably know that the Brazil is favored to win, due to its overwhelming awesomeness. There are many theories about why Brazil is so good at football, but I personally believe it is the nicknames--a tradition that dates back almost a century. According to this article, the first...

One of my favorite leisure activities is watching the Scripps National Spelling Bee, which admittedly aired like two weeks ago but in my defense I've been getting married and moving and weeping vociferously re. the United States national soccer team's loss to the Czeck Republic. At any rate, any serious speller (and I myself was third runner up in the Audubon Park Elementary School spelling bee as a fourth grader) knows that the German is the Everest of languages. This year, for instance, both the... READ ON
I'm getting married in nine days. And so I've been thinking a lot about weddings and marriages. Admittedly, most of my time the past few months has been wasted accomplishing the little tasks inherent to a 450-guest wedding. But now and again, I've found myself researching the wider world of weddings. Here's what I've learned: My all-time favorite marriage certificate comes from this apparently true story: Amidst a thunderstorm, Swift had sought refuge under a large tree. A man and his pregnant...

Remember, y'all. Tomorrow is April 1st, which--to quote Puddnhead Wilson--"is the day on which we are reminded of what we are on the other three hundred and sixty-four." Prepare yourself for the salt-in-the-sugar trick tomorrow morning with The 100 Top April Fools' Pranks of all time. My personal favorite would be the April 1998 issue of New Mexicans for Science and Reason. Now, we do not wish to criticize New Mexico, which we are sure includes many, many citizens who favor science and reason,... READ ON
Today is the 410th birthday of noted French philosopher and mathematician Rene "I think therefore I am" Descartes. Known as the father of both mathematics and philosophy (he also fathered a daughter, Francine, out of wedlock), Descartes' work and life are plenty fascinating. But we bring up his birthday only because it is our best opportunity in weeks to share our favorite fact in the entire history of facts, which we learned from Britannica via floss contributor A. J. Jacobs: Rene Descartes had a... READ ON
I won't try to pretend otherwise: this post is partly intended to tip you off to one of the funniest dudes on the web, but mostly it's a way for me to publicly kiss up and grovel. (See how I already kissed up? "One of the funniest dudes on the web." That's The Art of War in action, baby.) Anyway, the dude's name is Merlin Mann, and driven desperate, as most of us are, by etiquette-less public cell phone users, he created a character called "That Phone Guy."... READ ON
In this the third part of our ongoing 433-part series, Better Know a Director, we'll do a once-over on the work of Jonathan Glazer. The Fightin' Glazer. Undoubtedly, you've seen some of his work before. Sexy Beast was a pretty big deal, although Birth, rightfully, was less of one. He's also directed a bunch of music videos, including Jamiroquai's once ubiquitous "Virtual Insanity." But as I discovered at a not-that-recent Resfest, watching his work in... READ ON
It officially feels like spring in New York, and naturally my mind has filled itself with the standard vernal fare: watching boiling water turn instantly to snow, contemplating the delicious gayness of 300, wishing I could play Nerf basketball more often and rap about why my alma mater sucks. If only I had videos to complement these thoughts... Oh wait, I do? You mean this wasn't just a not-so-clever writing device meant to tweak your expectations? Awesome! Looky here: Looks like I won't... READ ON
People oftentimes assume Tracy Morgan is drunk or stoned to the bejesus. This is absurd to me, and cruel, too. In insinuating this, these people (let's call them "straw men") devalue a comedian who over the last several years--but particularly since he's literally (both on and off camera) morphed into his character Tracy Jordan from 30 Rock--has become something of a national treasure. Susan B. Anthony is a national treasure. Would you like to cast aspersions on her, too? Honestly. Think about it. Not... READ ON
Every six months or so, reliable as clockwork, we're treated to some grotesquely bilious new statement from Ann Coulter. Lefties roar. Some righties run for cover. Others look the other way or bow their heads in half-apology. Cable news stations dive headlong into another easy-to-moralize-on filler topic perfectly suited for the 24 hour news cycle. And round and round we go. This weekend, as you must've seen, and if you haven't click here, Coulter shocked no one with her latest... READ ON
Listen, life is short and if you, like me, work next to a skyscraper being put up by drunkards it could be shorter. That's why we have to relish in a little light-hearted fun from time to time, eg. going to the beach or eating popcorn with our toes or seeing a Dave Barry column in your paper, refusing to read it, and then ritualistically burning it using your mother's nail polish remover as igniter fluid. There's really no limit to what we can do if we try, and this clip,... READ ON
One of the distinct  displeasures of full-time employment--and of not having TiVo--is the inability to watch daytime television. Remember the thrill of The Price is Right during a sick day home from school, or for that matter, Tic Tac Dough? There was a feeling of law-breaking, of daring, in watching those shows. You felt as if you were getting away with something, even if the 102-degree fever wasn't lightbulb-enhanced. Well, in the working world, or at least my working world, there are no sick days,...

Perhaps the strangest--and certainly the most unwelcome--development of this year's Super Bowl was the reliance on homophobia to move product. Much has already been written on the topic, so I won't cover old ground here, but all the corporate phobing sparked a discussion of the "man-crush" around Hunter HQ. Specifically, who is it acceptable to harbor one for? Jon Stewart seemed to be the #1 answer, with Kris Kristofferson a close two. (That's not a joke. Dude's a serious badass. Plus, he wrote this...

Editor's Note: This YouTube Tuesday post was sent in shortly before game time, but due to computer problems, didn't make it up in time for tipoff.

Along with playing chess and watching my friends have sex, I derive endless enjoyment from Dumb Criminal videos.

Weight loss is a common topic, as any number of ads, articles, news segments and infomercials are likely to let you know. We are all aware that if we cut our intake and hit the gym, we'll lose some of that excess padding. But what if eating in moderation and regular exercise aren't viable options? There are myriad modern diets that suggest one key food or habit, or extol their own magic pill "" be it a large dose of caffeine, or a large dose of ephedra, or a mixture of caffeine and ephedra...

In case you haven't heard of him, Charlie Brooker is a British national treasure — and also a sneering, acidly sarcastic, fast-talking, hilarious journalist and TV presenter whose distinctly British tear-downs of everything from the state of TV to politics and video games have earned him a reputation as a no-holds-barred opinionator. Here's the best of what I could find on YouTube — let me know what you think. BTW, he swears a lot, so these are definitely NSFW. Charlie cleverly deconstructs the... READ ON
This morning I discovered a flyer in my mailbox advertising "Wordsworth and Keats Fine Interior Housepainting: special attention paid to metre and rhyme." Part of me wanted to believe this was a real service, perhaps featuring painters who speak in couplets and scrawl secret verses on your walls before they slap up a coat of Benjamin Moore. Alas, the website the flyer lists turns out to be completely unrelated to poetry or paint. I guess the whole point was just to get people's attention, in which case, it... READ ON

There's an interesting debate going on at the Guardian about why English-speakers use the word Allah to refer to the Muslim version of God: There is no logical reason for this. Why use an Arabic word in English-language news reports when there is a perfectly good English word that means exactly the same thing? Various Arabic words -- jihad and sheikh, for example -- have crept into everyday usage because no precise equivalent exists in English, but "Allah" is not of that type. It is simply the normal...

Fortunately, we discovered that we aren't the first people who've scratched their heads over this curiosity. In the early 19th-century France (back when being guillotined was more or less a rite of passage), a series of scientists investigated the question. They concluded that decapitated heads continued to respond to external stimuli for several seconds after, um, parting from... READ ON

You may have heard already that a fifth moon was discovered orbiting Pluto. (If not, Hubble spotted a fifth moon orbiting Pluto.) We know just enough about P5 to know that it's tiny, and it's a moon. Here are some other wild and wonderful worlds that orbit other worlds: 1. Phobos The larger and innermost moon of Mars, Phobos is probably a captured asteroid. It's covered in craters, including the gigantic Stickney Crater created by an impact that was nearly severe enough to destroy the moon altogether.... READ ON

A Norwegian family arrived at their cabin to open it up for the spring and found a surprise: a large rock had smashed through the roof. It was identified as a 1.3 pound breccia meteorite. It didn't hurt anybody, and its sale price should easily cover the damage to the roof; meteorites are valuable to collectors. But although most meteorites are very small, and to date nobody has been more than bruised by one, some of them are big and make a violent impression where they hit. Here are a few of the more...

Since before history began, we have tried to understand our world and our place in it. To the earliest hunter-gatherer tribes, this meant little more than knowing the tribe's territory. But as people began to settle and trade, knowing the wider world became more important, and people became interested in the actual size of it. Aristarchus of Samos (310-230 BC) made the earliest surviving measurements of the distance between objects in space. By carefully measuring the apparent size of the Sun and Moon and... READ ON

Most orbital debris is in low Earth orbit, where "what goes up must come down" — derelict satellites, spent rocket boosters, explosive bolt shrapnel, payload fairings, interstage structures, payload adapters, spin-up counterweights, and more.

To date, no one is known to have been injured, and, statistically speaking, debris is most likely to fall over water. But it's... READ ON

Similar rich cocoa content compared with the Pralus Melissa bar, but I preferred the smoothness of this bar (hence the 5 star rating) aptly named milk of the gods. Having tasted Willie's Cacao, I am keen to try their white chocolate bar on my next order.

Jackall has developed a specific Flick Shake Worm and Wacky Jig Head, which work together as a system. The Jackall Flick Shake Worm has a built in curved design, which creates a squirming action that the fish cannot resist. The Flick Shake Worm is also salt injected and has a live bait scent. The jig head's eye is designed at a ninety-degree angle for better hook setting and less snags. The hook has a short shank to allow the worm more action. The tungsten weight allows the worm to sink faster and has a smaller head to create the right action. Jackall mastermind Seiji Kato used it to win the co-angler title at the 2007 Amistad Bassmaster Elite.
Jackall Weedless Wacky Jig Head
Try fishing the Octopus Rig, the newest way to fish the Jackall Flick Shake in Japan. Use two Jackall Flick Shake Worms, offset at 90 degrees, on a Jackall Weedless Wacky Jig. After rigging both worms on the jig head rotate the first 90 degrees and run it back onto the hook, creating an "X".

Customer Reviews Back to Top
Comments: This is a great product. I use the 4.8 in a cola color and absolutely smash them at one of my favorite ponds for bank fishing. I caught 15 in about a hour and a half. I throw it on a 6'8" St Croix Mojo spinning rod with a Shimano Symmetry 3000 and 6lb Seaguar InvisX. Rig it wacky and weightless with a 1/0 VMC wacky hook. Deadliest combo for finesse fishing in clear water.
From: Nick: NJ 12/2/14
Comments: These have been out for like 32 years, so they are not new...but they are still catching fish. They work, no matter how you wanna rig them. So buy them. If I say they work, they work. You can trust Uncle Jay.
From: Jay6: USA 10/8/14
Comments: I got these after reading a few reviews and watching some videos. I never really caught anything on them, just little bites from little fish. I was going through my stuff and wanted to use up some of my opened plastics before winter. I took all my Fick Shake Worms and 1/16th oz Owner Wacky Jigheads. Holy $%@# balls! I caught 12 fish, all of them on the flick shake 4.8 and 5.8 Cola and few on the 4.8 and 5.8 junebug. I hooked at least another 12. This thing works! I was catching bass, catfish, bowfin, bluegill, yellow perch and white perch all on one bait! Just wished they lasted longer on the hook.
From: Cal: Virginia Beach, VA 9/29/14
Comments: This is my go to soft plastic! Bass absolutely love them. I use the "inchy wacky" method on bedding bass, and they slay it! My wife recently received orders for Germany, and I've been using them over here as well. Slaying Pike, Zander, and Perch. The sell a 3.8" version over here. I wish Tacklewarehouse carried this size. They are great on finicky fish, and after cold fronts. I'll have to stock up before we come home. I can't say enough about this bait! Amazing action, and they just plain work! Get ya' some!
From: Phil: Landstuhl, Germany
Comments: Holy Crap! this bait works! Rig it wacky on the jackall tungston weedless jighead. Tons of bites, i went through two bags in a day catching 15 bass. The plastics on this bait is durable, just make sure to re-rigged it every two catches or it might slip off the hook though.. This bait outfishes Zoom's trick and finesse worms.
From: Tim: NC
Comments: holy crap.......freakin amazing bait....went though a pack in 50 minutes....the catch tons of fish........big and small......not durable, last maybe 2 fish max.....still worth it
From: Mitch: s, WIherwood
Comments: Awesome! Fish em the same way as a senko and you'll kill em. Produces big fish as well. The place where I fish, bass wont touch the senko, but love this bait.
From: Mike: Chicago, IL
Comments: these were one of my go to baits i would catch 7 fish in only 2 hours and 30 mins my favorite colors were camoflauge sun burn punkin pepper
From: Brian: Costamesa
Comments: QUICKLY becoming my go-to straight tail. A friend tossed me a pack to try about a month ago. Thanks to him, I am ordering more, and hese turkeys aint CHEAP. But ya know what, kids? They are pretty durable.
From: Meatwad: Keeping Japan's economy goin strong.
Comments: AUSOME! Best lure ever designed! Use it for whatever the situation calls for, they all work great. Fish suck em' up and just swim away with em'! I wish there was a chartuese pepper color. I just wish they would stay on the hook longer!
From: Jerry: Blue Island, IL
Comments: I used this all year last year and they are a lil pricey but i love em. I used the zoom finesse worms instead bc they r cheaper but i they arent the same. These in my opinion are the best wacky worm with the smallest wacky jig head. I have caught 28 bass with in about 2 .5 hours. Good worm for anyone!
From: Ryan: Lincoln, NE
Comments: These work. In my opinion, it is a bit of a toss up between these and the Zoom Trick Worms... Most days, I'm throwing the Trick Worm (E.g. Wacky Rigged), but some times/days, the flick shake worms seem to work better for my friends and I. Don't ask me why or how this happens, as I'm not sure myself, but it does. Not often, but it does. The Watermelon colored varieties work best for me and my buddy, on most days (E.g. Central Florida ponds and lakes), but some odd days the June Bug or Candy Bug colors work better... Mileage - I.e. success, with colors in your area will likely vary, so start with colors close to what works in your neck of the woods...
From: Shawn: Tampa, FL
Comments: You have to fish it with a weight, i like to fish my wacky worms weightless just based on the lakes that i fish and these sink way too slow. good worm but would be awesome if they made one that you could fish weightless
Comments: best wacky rig worm on the market period. The best color for me is Cinnamon solid.. Buy them you will NOT be disappointing!!!!
From: Jason: USA
Comments: All I have to say is wow, I've never caught so many bass in an hour ever before. 10 bass in an hour, biggest being 4lbs 3oz. Just pitch it into any kind of cover, be it timber, a weed edge, drop off, etc, twitch it a couple times, and hold on. I had the best luck with the bluegill color.
From: Mike: Waukesha, WI
Comments: this my fellow ninjas is the bomb! i have caught 27 large mouth in about 3 hours biggest being 9 lbs. use the 6.8 inch with 3/32 jig head wacky style and get ready for the big fish.
From: Bob "big boy" Pham: Auburn, AL
Comments: This is my first full season fishing bass. On my second outing this year (6/5/11), I caught a ~4 pounder, a slightly bigger bass than the previous weeks personal best. I was using a 3/16 oz. wacky jig I bought off of eBay with the Flick Shake worm in Watermelon Red Flake. My first two bass of the season were both new personal bests!
From: Austin: St. Paul, MN
Comments: All I can say is man, this bait is the $%#!!!! It catches bass, when nothing else will. I buy them quite frequently because
they get blasted when the big bass hit it. I dont mind this bait is awesome!
From: Brian: Akron, OH
Comments: This is my go to bait when nothing is working. Caught a pile at KY lake last weekend under very tough conditions. I take a small piece of shrink tubing and slide it over the middle, run the hook through that, last 5X longer...
From: Dave: Kentucky
Comments: What a great spawn bait. Jiggle it on the bed and POW! Caught 20 + lbs in 3 hours on a very heavy pressured lake.
From: Matt: Fredricksburg, VA
Comments: I fish this bait texas style with great success. I try differnt colors and and retrieve methods depending upon conditions here in south florida. This and chompers are my go to baits when conditions are rough. Caught many 5 to 10 pounders. Junebug and cola seem to be the best colors. Much cheaper than the senko anf the action is great. Thanks Tackle warehouse for introducing this bait!
From: Larry: Coconut Creek, FL
Comments: This bait was designed for wacky fishing and "inch'wacky", and it really is one of th ebest ever for those 2 technics. Its molded bent body provocate great action inch'wacky rigged on a 1/16 or 1/8 oz zappu inch'wacky head. Perfect for high pressured bass.
From: Fab: France
Comments: Amazing! A little pricy and they seem to only last for a few fish but definitly a bass catcher.
From: Mike: Georgia, USA
Comments: I think it is safe to say it makes all other finesse worms obsolete. The only bad thing is for 5 dollars you only get about 7 worms? BUT you gotta pay to play. I like the 4.8 for drop shottin, 5.8 for shakey heads and the 6.8 for the wacky jighead technique. Big bass love the 6.8 so get ready. Dont be afraid to fish em on light line sometimes I go as far down to 6lb test fluorocarbon. Invizx is good, you will get a ton more bites.
From: Juan: Annadale, VA
Comments: This worm is really a bait because it always will produce a bite no matter the conditions or season. Only problem is that are quite expensive and are really soft which gives it the great action but also leads it to fly off the hook after just one fish :(
From: Sean: Rahway, NJ
Comments:I love the flick shake worm. I use the 4.8" on a Luck E Strike 1/16 oz perfect finesse weighted hook. The added weight allows for better casts and makes it a bit easier to control and detect the strike when fishing weedless around brush and wood. I fish a lot of pressured water and this worm has produced fish every time.
From:Frank: Birdsboro, PA
Comments:I've had some good fish (bass and pickerel) on the 4.8'' green pumpkin pepper on the 1/8 oz. wacky rig jig head. Still have to try the 5.8'' I have in the black red flake.
From:Joseph: Liverpool, NY
Comments:I caught 17 largemouth's in 90 minutes using this Worm. And I live in NJ of all places. This combo of Flick Shake Worm and Jackall's shaky head hook is amazing. I use no other hook and worm. And I mean never.
From:Peter: Lyndhurst, NJ
Comments:I am yet to catch fish on these Wacky rigged but on a shakey head they are deadly.
From:Andrew: Mission Viejo, CA
Comments:The 6.8" worm is a big fish magnet, I fish it with a 3/8oz. shaky head. All I can say is WOW.
From:Eddie: Georgetown, KY

* F A R T * You speak ass aswell? Danny, Adam and Justin ARE done. Waiting on Maynard. I am just being positive about my "assumptions" of us getting an album in the 1st quarter and a possibilty of them playing Coachella in regards to Blair's ever confusing ramblings of this, that and the other? Guess we will find out once the line-up is revealed, and if not, oh well, guess I'll have to see them elsewhere.

Even if lyrics and all vocals were complete as of today(wishful thinking), I don't think they could get a release out before Coachella W1. For one they do things at a snail's pace, they need to co-ordinate all first week sales promotions(30-40% of all sales on 10k Days in the US) and their management sure as hell wouldn't be booking non-headline gigs to promote it.
So is there still going to be an announcement tomorrow regarding Tool or what?
I bet it's a deluxe blu-ray version of the Vicarious DVD. With bonus features.
^Bahahahaha!!! Wouldn't surprise me either!
if this is it...i'm gunna be pissed...a video for the Pot? Really??
It probably is - they weren't exactly punctual with the Lateralus-era single releases... or the vinyl for that matter. Why should 10K days era close out any differently.
2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2012b, 2013a, 2014a
Tool is trolling the fuck out of us.
I am thinking that there is gonna be some sorta other announcement....... nothing has been posted on TA yet. God Damn
Its sorta good that nothing official has come down the pipe yet! When does this place release the line up?
Danny Carey played(fusion pet project) the baked potato in LA last night and will do so again on the 25th.
Ask him directly.
Oh really.......... who the heck is Danny Carey?

The logic for dealing with non-CPU accessible memory still needs to be added. It's on the todo list.
OK, I got F11 which was released couple of days ago. It still says in dmesg that the accessible memory on card is 256MB.
I assume there is still some work to be done?
Would this fix the issue?
The logic for dealing with non-CPU accessible memory still needs to be added. It's on the todo list.
LIM EMS lives again!!!!!
I have a case that I have actually used once. I used the video mem as a swap file to speed up an 8GB process in a machine that had just 2GB of RAM. That used Vesa bios calls I believe though.
it was marginally faster
In the future with OpenCL fast access to all video card ram will become more important.
But for normal usage, say for playing hardware-accelerated 3D games or desktop work etc., the graphics card does use all its available memory, right? For both the open-source drivers and Catalyst?
I've got a 512MB X1950 Pro (R500) and in a couple of days a 512MB HD 4550 (R700) will arrive. These are for normal desktop usage; no software-only stuff. I'm not limited to 256MB video RAM for these cards, am I? Doesn't the GPU use all available graphics memory unless you're trying to do something clever like any of the aforementioned scenarios?
Hmm. Well, the work has been progressing rather rapidly; my understanding is that there's a branch or two of GEM/TTM-like stuff now available for checkout, though it's not stable. Besides, for normal 2D usage, including browsing, documents, watching videos, it's not like the full 512MB of the card would be needed.
I've no doubt that sometime soonish we'll have a memory manager that enables the rest of the video RAM. All ya'll upstream folks have been making fantastic progress. Thanks!

ESEE Knives ESEE-4P-CP-MB Plain Edge, Black Blade, Sharpened Clip Point, Black Sheath, Clip Plate, MOLLE Back, Paracord - ESEE-4P-CP-MB-BLK
Part Number: | RC4PCPMBBLK |
Manufacturer: | ESEE Knives |
ESEE Knives
This is the longer, thicker "wilderness" model of the popular ESEE-3 tactical knife. With its 3/16" thickness, full flat grind, rounded pommel, Micarta handles and light weight, it can serve as a primary backpacking and wilderness survival knife, or fitted to your modular system for duty carry in a tactical environment.
ESEE-4P-CP-MB includes black Kydex sheathing, clip plate, MOLLE back and paracord.
These knives are made from high carbon 1095 steel. And while 1095 is a top choice for professional cutlery designed for hard use, it will rust and stain if not properly cared for - especially on the cutting edge and around the laser engraving. It is the user's responsibility to keep the blades properly lubricated and cleaned. We suggest using a dry film rust inhibitor such as TUF-GLIDE or TUF-CLOTH.
Important: View this to properly attach a MOLLE back to MOLLE compatible gear. Failure to thread the MOLLE strap correctly may cause the snap to come apart!
ESEE-4 Sheath Instruction Sheet (Front)
ESEE-4 Sheath Instruction Sheet (Back)
- O.A Length: 9.0"
- Cutting Edge length: 4.06"
- O.A. Blade Length: 4.5"
- Maximum thickness: 3/16"
- Blade Width: 1.25"
- Weight: 7.4 ounces (knife only)
- 1095 Steel - 57 Rc.
- Serial Number On Pommel
- Ambidextrous Kydex sheath
- Made in USA
An excellent hard use steel, 1095 is a primary choice for camping and larger fixed blade knives for it's extreme toughness and ability to hold an edge. Corrosion resistance is very limited with this steel, most blades come with a coating to prevent premature rusting.
Waterproof, scratch resistant, and low friction. It will hold its shape and makes a great alternative to leather.
This product is USA born and raised.
Similar to G10, Micarta is a a compressed layered composite which instead of using fiberglass, uses fiber compounds of any type of create a strong, attractive material that is impervious to water.

Known as the Entertainment Capital of the World, Las Vegas, Nevada, shines brightly both metaphorically and physically. From outer space, Las Vegas is the brightest city in the world, but back down on earth, it is home to some of the top star performers from Celine Dion and Criss Angel to the Cirque du Soleil and The Blue Man Group. Just like bugs attracted to the light, travelers from around the world flock to Sin City to reserve the best deals on hotels in Las Vegas for an unforgettable vacation. Book your flight to Las Vegas today to kick start your adventures on The Strip.
When it comes to Las Vegas hotels, the selection is vast. You'll find all sorts of accommodations here, including resorts located on The Strip and Freemont Street. There is also a variety of lodging available in nearby areas, such as North Las Vegas, Henderson, and South of The Strip, when you want a break from the nightlife. Whether you're looking for hotels with casinos and on-site shows or hotels with pool access and lounges, there's a place for you.
Because Las Vegas has packed so many hotels and attractions along The Strip, visitors can experience many of the sites on their own two feet. While a walking tour may seem appealing, remember to stick to the crosswalks and sidewalks to avoid receiving a jaywalking ticket and holding up traffic.
Contrary to popular belief, the resorts and casinos are spread out, due to their sheer size, so a rental car can come in handy. Vacationers who want to expand their horizons beyond walking distance may want to book affordable car rentals in advance. Many of the luxury hotels feature free parking or validations, so finding a parking spot is hassle-free.
There are also numerous taxi services and buses, such as The Deuce and Citizen Area Transit (CAT), which will gladly transport visitors around town. Flag one down at a hotel because hailing one straight from the street is actually illegal in Las Vegas.
Travel Basics
A town with the nickname "Sin City," doesn't receive such a reputation by turning its lights out after 9 p.m., which means the partying in Las Vegas usually continues into the early hours of morning. So if you plan on receiving a good night's sleep while vacationing here, we suggest packing a pair of ear plugs to cancel out the noise - especially if you book one of the Vegas hotels in the middle of all the action.
As for venturing outside to the other attractions on The Strip, it's best to create an itinerary. Though the stretch is only a little over four miles, you won't want to back track or loop around all afternoon especially during the scorching summer months. Map out your route, pack your walking shoes, and remember to only cross at the designated cross walks.
Although palm trees and water fountains may characterize Las Vegas, don't be fooled; this tropical paradise is in the middle of the desert. And desert means scorching temperatures in the summer and chilly winter evenings. From June through August, Vegas usually sees temperatures soar between the 90 and 100 F, which can make walking around under the hot sun a sweaty, muggy experience. If you do plan to visit during these summer months, pack a hat, sunscreen, and plenty of water to stay hydrated. Alternatively, in December through February, Vegas can experience temperatures that drop to the 30s F, so pack a jacket and brace for the wind.
The best time to visit Sin City is during the spring and fall. During these seasons, the temperatures are mild and comfortable. Both of these times are sometimes considered low season, as the crowds tend to pick up during the summer months and holidays.
Regardless of what time of year you visit the brightest place on earth, the hot entertainment is sure to warm you up while the pool parties will keep you cool. Book your Las Vegas vacation package right here with Expedia.com to kick start your Sin City getaway today.

Durango High School girls lacrosse has three losses this season: three losses by three goals.
And you can hear the frustration mounting in the head coach's voice.
"Really, we beat ourselves," DHS coach Jenni Darlow said Saturday after the Demons' 9-8 loss to Battle Mountain. "Battle Mountain played well, and they're a good team, but we beat ourselves."
Darlow ticked off the Demons' areas in need of improvement:
Turnovers – "we gave the ball over and over and over again."
Homework – "we didn't clean up the things we needed to from the day before."
Execution – "we didn't execute well."
Groundballs – "we were serving up groundballs left and right."
Time of possession – "I wish I had the numbers, but it was heavily favored toward Battle Mountain."
And not to mention the Demons (1-3, 1-3 Mountain League) were missing four of their varsity regulars, the conditions were harsh, the game time was moved up two hours, and the game itself was moved to Eagle Valley High School.
"But they had to deal with all those things, too," Darlow said.
The game was close throughout, tied 5-5 with less than a minute to play in the first half and tied 8-8 with less than a minute to play in regulation. Battle Mountain scored with 18 seconds to play in the first half for a 6-5 lead, then scored again with 19 seconds to play in regulation for the one-goal victory, the Demons' third one-goal defeat this season.
Tymbree Hawkins, who "played great all weekend," Darlow said, led the Demons with four goals and an assist.
Hannah Quick had one goal and three assists, Alyssa Montoya had one goal and one assist, and Alyssa Swan and Haley Dallas had one goal apiece.
McKenna Rigdon was "amazing" with 13 saves and Battle Mountain constantly on the attack, and "on defense, we made two key huge defensive lapses that led to goals, but other than that, our defense did a really good job," Darlow said. "I mean, they played defense for like 45 minutes."

Firthing is the act of hanging around the object of your affections looking intense but never actually telling them how you feel. The term is named for Colin Firth who played Mr. Darcy in a film adaption of Pride and Prejudice and spent a lot of time "firthing."
Rather than just tell her crush how she felt, Rebecca chose instead to spend the entire party firthing in his general vicinity.

So I am a self confessed Les Mis desperate. Ever since I saw the musical in Melbourne in the late 1980s I have just never been able to get enough of it!
It's no surprise that on Boxing Day I went full of anticipation to see the Movie. I was not sure what to expect. Russell Crowe as Javert, Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean etc. There had been so much discussion

New Vt. auditor announces 5 areas of study
MONTPELIER — Vermont's new state auditor says he's going to examine five areas of state government to make sure the state is getting the most for its money.
Auditor Doug Hoffer announced Wednesday he plans to examine the Department of Correction's three-year $53 million contract for health care services; two contracts in the Transportation Agency; the Agency of Administration's worker's compensation and injury prevent program and the cost effectiveness of state-issued cell phones.
Hoffer took office last month.
Hoffer says his office will also audit the state's "last mile" telecom project and the health information technology investments, but those audits will require considerable background research and analysis before his office can determine specific objectives.MORE IN This Just InWAITSFIELD An armed robber held up the Northfield Savings Bank on Tuesday afternoon, the second...

Skitty is May's second captured Pokémon.
She was first seen when Torchic wandered off while training, and found a sick Skitty, Team Rocket's Meowth falls in love with Skitty for a while. Jessie also wanted Skitty so she and May battled Beautifly and Dustox, which May won with Beautifly and got Skitty. Despite her small size, Skitty was a very powerful fighter and was capable of using an incredibly strong Blizzard, which is made more impressive by the fact that she is not an Ice type.
May left Skitty at her house for a while after the Hoenn Grand Festival, but she returned in The Unbeatable Lightness Of Seeing! and for the Wallace Cup where she defeated an Exeggutor with Blizzard. She was confirmed to be a female when Meowth developed a crush on her.
