There Are Giant Camera Resolution Test Charts Scattered Across the US
When people test cameras and lenses for resolution, they commonly use special resolution test charts that are filled with black bars of varying lengths and thicknesses. They're kind of like eye charts, except for cameras instead of eyeballs, and with lines instead of letters.
Well, did you know that in dozens of locations around the United States, there are gigantic resolution test charts on the ground?

How US Spy Satellite Photography Worked Before Digital Technology
Ever wonder how the US government managed to capture spy photos with satellites during the Cold War without the help of digital cameras, computers, or wireless transmission? The Atlantic has a fascinating article on the various techniques that were used:
From 1971 to 1986 a total of 20 satellites were launched, each containing 60 miles (100 kilometers) of film and sophisticated cameras that orbited the earth snapping vast, panoramic photographs of the Soviet Union, China and other potential foes. The film was shot back through the earth's atmosphere in buckets that parachuted over the Pacific Ocean, where C-130 Air Force planes snagged them with grappling hooks.
You can check out all the details of the super secret photography program in this now-declassified report.

8 Surprising Animal Superstitions
by Xfinity Lifestyle Staff | October 7, 2013 at 11:12 AM | Pets
By Dr. Marty Becker, Vetstreet.com
For thousands of years, superstitions regarding cats and dogs have guided people's behavior — or just made for good fireside stories. Most everyone is familiar with the belief that black cats bring bad luck or that a howling dog signifies that someone is about to die. (If that were truly the case, people would be dropping right and left every time an ambulance goes by with its siren blaring.)
RELATED: 10 Lessons Dogs Can Teach Us About Relationships
Animal-related beliefs have existed around the world for millennia. I've gone through my files to seek out a few of the more unusual ones. Here are eight superstitions and myths about dogs and cats that you might not know.
Cats for Luck and Longevity
Black cats bring good luck. In Britain, a bride and groom who encounter a black cat on their wedding day are ensured a happy marriage. Sailors, a notoriously superstitious lot, avoid saying the word "cat," but having a black cat aboard ship is believed to bring good fortune. In fact, the wives of sailors used to keep black cats to ensure their husbands' safe return.
A cat in the cradle protects babies. A well-known (and need I say unfounded) myth is that cats will jump into a crib and suck a sleeping baby's breath. In Russia, however, new parents used to put a cat into a cradle to drive off evil spirits that might harm the baby. Smart thinking! Who better than a loving and protective cat with super night vision and an alert nature to ward off any natural — or supernatural — meanies? (Of course, folklore notwithstanding, you never want to leave any pet with a baby unsupervised.)
Cats won't run away if you take certain actions. Moving? Bring your cat into the new place through the window and he won't leave (presumably because he doesn't know where the door is). Or rub his paws with butter. The theory behind this one is that by the time he finishes licking all the butter off his paws, he'll be used to the new place and won't want to leave.
RELATED: Hero Dog Alerts Family to Abusive Babysitter
Cats have nine lives. We've all heard that one, of course, but do you know why? My theory is that the belief is tied to cats' incredible survival skills. Their finely tuned senses, speed, agility and an arsenal of sharp teeth and claws (weapons of mouse destruction) allow them to seemingly defy death time and again.
More Than a Guide Dog
The lick of a dog has healing powers. Ancient Greeks and Romans had temple dogs known as cynotherapists whose licks were believed to cure disease. Maybe they were onto something — we know today that petting a dog can lower blood pressure. Some dogs can also scent out cancers and other signs of illness such as high blood sugar. About that licking, though: Although chemical analysis of canine saliva shows that it has some minor antibacterial properties, your dog isn't really trying to heal you. He is most likely attracted to the sweet taste of the serum produced by oozing sores.
Dogs lead us to the next world. Cultures around the world associate dogs with the path to heaven — or Hades. A three-headed dog named Cerberus guarded the entrance to Hades, ensuring that no one went in — or out — who wasn't supposed to. A Greco-Egyptian god known as Hermanubis guided souls to heaven, using secret passwords to ward off menacing spirits and open locked gates. Aztecs had the dog-headed god Xolotl, who guided souls to the underworld. And in Persia (modern-day Iran), followers of the Zoroastrian religion used dogs to determine if someone was really dead — maybe they licked their toes to see if they giggled — and to scare away any lurking demons.
Meeting a dog is good luck. I always think I'm fortunate whenever I meet a dog, and plenty of superstitions support that belief. According to folklore in various parts of the world, it's good luck to meet a Greyhound with a white spot or a Dalmatian (spotted dogs must really be something special). If a strange black dog follows you home, you'll have good luck. Seems to me that it would be even better luck for the dog if you decide to adopt him.
RELATED: 15 Worst Dog Breeds for New Pet Owners
Dogs and cats can predict the weather. For instance, if a dog retreats underneath your dining room table or curls up in a corner, cold weather is coming. The same is said of a cat sitting with his back to the fire: It's a sure sign that frost is on the way.
Superstitions and myths about animals abound, and I love learning about them, sharing them and — when necessary — debunking harmful or misleading beliefs. I'll share more some other time.

Kirby O'Neil
this wiki
Redirected from Kirby O'neil
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
[Source] |
Doctor Kirby O'Neil is a psychologist and the father of April O'Neil in the 2012 TV series. He was mutated into a mutant bat in the season 2 premiere, then returned to normal in The Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman, and got mutated again in the Season 2 Finale, and cured again in season 3's Battle for New York, Part 2 episode.
As a human, Kirby is bald yet has some orange hair and a beard. He has blue eyes and wears a brown jacket with a grey undershirt, along with tan pants and brown shoes.
In his mutated form, Kirby had a large, mis-shapen head with a large green vein running down it. His red beard was still present. His ears looked like bat wings. He had green eyes, a flattened bat nose and razor sharp teeth. He was covered with orange fur on his lower body down to his legs. His right arm was small while his left was normal size. He had a long purple and green vein running down his body. He had long purple wings with an arm attached to the top of each. Each hand had claws. He also had a short tail.
In this version April father is still alive and named Kirby O'Neil in the 2012 animated series, but is no antique dealer but instead a scientist of psychology and a widower, which the Kraang kidnapped, who after the death of his wife had to raise his daughter April alone.
Rise of the Turtles, Part 1
When the turtles are out in the city for the first time, they witness Kirby and April being abducted by the extradimensional Kraang. Because the aliens wanted to use April's unusual psychic abilities to colonize the earth. The turtles attempted to save them, but due to their inability to work as a team, the Kraang escape with them. Later, when the turtles find Snake and question him about the mutagen and why the O'Neil's were taken, they believe that Kirby is being used to help the Kraang. Once they break into the Kraang's lair, they manage to save April, but were unable to get Kirby.
The Gauntlet
Kirby sends Pete to deliver a message to April warning her to get out of the city. Instead, April and the Turtles get Pete to take them to where the Kraang are holding Kirby in order to rescue him. Kirby recognizes the Turtles and tells them what little he knows about the Kraang and their mutagen. The rescue mission is interrupted when Donatello discovers the Kraang have set a time bomb to disperse mutagen over the city. The Turtles free Kirby from his cell, but the Kraang soon corner them. Kirby takes one of the Kraang's guns and attacks the droids, telling the Turtles to save April and the city. He covers their escape, and is last seen being disarmed and re-captured by the Kraang.
April reveals what kind of scientist her father is; a psychologist. This means Kirby does not have the type of skills or knowledge the Kraang would find useful. Just when Raphael wonders why the Kraang would kidnap him in the first place, Donatello reveals that Kirby wasn't their real target. Instead, it was April the Kraang wanted, and they're still looking for her. It's not known why April is the Kraang's primary target or if Kirby knows why the Kraang are after his daughter.
Operation: Break Out
He sends April a coded message, which Donatello decodes. He mentions that he was moved to a different location and includes the coordinates. Donatello goes to the lab and manages to break him out, but he also lets loose a giant salamander monster. Kirby and the turtles manage to avoid the Kraang and defeat the Newtralizer and successfully escape. Once they are back at the sewer he is reunited with April. At the end of the episode, he and April hug each other and he evilly looks up, indicating something is wrong. The exemption was part of a perfidious plan of the Shredder, who had now joined with the Kraang in an alliance against the Turtles.
"Showdown, Part 1"
the Kraang control Kirby into handing April over to Karai and the Foot Soldiers who then hand her over to them on the surface. In "Showdown, Part 2", the Turtles discover the mind-control device the Kraang gave Kirby on the back of Kirby's neck and free him and give them important information about the plans of Kraang Prime, the top leader of the Kraang, the information gave is what led to the defeat of the first invasion.
However, the long imprisonment had caused major trauma to O'Neil, and his desire to protect his daughter from harm, thus has become an obsession. In "The Mutation Situation," When the Turtles finally learned of a new plan of Kraang and asked April for assistance they had to trick her father to let them take her out of the house her father. Kirby has been having recurring nightmares about the Kraang and helps April to track the stealth ship. But on this occasion it happened that the Turtles in their imprudence caused a whole load of mutagen, which the Shredder wanted the Kraang to deliver, to rain down on the city. When a mutagen canister falls off the ship and towards April. Kirby protects April from it and falls off of the roof of the building. As a result of Kirby falling past a bunch of bats, Kirby mutates into a grotesque mutant bat with a large head. Michelangelo tries to call him "Wingnut" as a nickname, but is scolded for his insensitivity. Although his human intellect has been largely suppressed by the effects of the mutagen, O'Neil's protectiveness towards his daughter remained, and he therefore sought to continue to keep his daughter from harm. During the fight, the Turtles direct him into the warehouse where he is caged. When April catches up, Michelangelo unknowingly mentioned how the falling mutagen canisters was an accident on their part during their fight with the Kraang. Kirby breaks free and flies away to an unknown destination in the nocturnal New York. The mutation of Kirby had put a temporary strain in April's friendship with the Turtles.
"Metalhead Rewired
Kirby's mutated form was among the mutants that were captured by the Kraang. With help from Metalhead, the Turtles were able to free Kirby and the other mutants from the Kraang and were able to escape through the portal.
"The Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman"
Kirby turns back into a human by getting hit with the last drop of Retro-Mutagen that Donnie managed to finally create.
The Invasion, parts 1 and 2
He stresses about the Kraang invasion, then as the he, Turtles, April, and Casey go to make their escape, he introduces them to his Party Wagon. Before he can leave with the team, though, he is blasted with the perfected mutagen by Kraang Prime, and once again mutated this time into a half-Kraang monstrosity.
Return to New York (2012 TV series episode)
He makes a Cameo at the end of the episode where it is seen that he is in Dimension X along with the millions of other people that were mutated and taken prisoner. He is finally seen serving the kraang by collecting special crystals and other resources [while also being mind-controlled by them as well].
Battle for New York, Part 2
After the Turtles and Mutanimals saved many lives in New York, cured him, along with enslaved civilians with newly improved Retro Mutagen, and teleports back to the city, switching locations with the remaining Kraaangs, he is last seen reunite with his daughter once again.
Casey Jones VS. The Underworld
He is seen alongside his daughter volunteering at a soup kitchen as they help serve and feed the populace of New York City.
Kirby seems to be smart and very protective of his daughter whenever her safety is threatened. He also acts very selflessly as he sacrificed his freedom to save the turtles and his daughter, so that they could save New York City from the Kraang's mutagen bomb. After Operation: Break Out it is revealed that he was brainwashed by the Kraang. Even after his mutation, he is shown to still care about April, having brought her food.
- He is most likely named after legendary comic book artist, Jack Kirby, whose name was also given to the character Kirby from the Mirage comics and 2003 TV series. Though his appearance (and his profession as a scientist) faintly resembles August O'Neil's from the 2003 TV series.
- In the episode The Mutation Situation Mikey calls him Wingnut, as a reference to that character.

Transfer learning in collaborative filtering
Authors | Pan, Weike | ||||||||
Issue Date | 2012 | ||||||||
Summary | Transfer learning and collaborative filtering have been studied in each community separately since early 1990s and were married in late 2000s. Transfer learning is proposed to extract and transfer knowledge from auxiliary data to improve the target learning task and has achieved great success in text mining, mobile computing, bio-informatics, etc. Collaborative filtering is a major intelligent component in various recommender systems, like movie recommendation in Netflix, news recommendation in Google News, people recommendation in Tencent Weibo (microblog), advertisement recommendation in Facebook, etc. However, in many collaborative filtering problems, we may not have enough data of users' preferences on items, which is known as the data sparsity problem. Transfer learning in collaborative filtering (TLCF) is studied to address the data sparsity problem in the user-item preference data in recommender systems. In this thesis, we develop this new multidisciplinary area mainly from two aspects. First, we propose a general learning framework, study four new and specific problem settings for movie recommendation and people recommendation, and design four novel TLCF solutions correspondingly. We transfer knowledge from different types of auxiliary data based on a general regularization framework, and design batch algorithms, stochastic algorithms and distributed algorithms to solve the optimization problems. Second, we survey and categorize traditional transfer learning works into model-based transfer, instance-based transfer and feature-based transfer, and build a relationship between traditional transfer learning algorithms and TLCF solutions from a unified view of model-based transfer, instance-based transfer, and feature-based transfer. | ||||||||

Folks Have been casting around looking at possible project cases
for the MB housing and suggested 4"x2" form factor and have not

enclosures, but they don't have the internal slides for PCB's. Thanks Eric |

When you say it won't let you uninstall, if you mean from AppWorld, you're right. But Setup --> Options --> Device --> Application Management should get you a list of applications. Let it populate, then find the Blackberry Messenger listing and tap it. You'll go to a page for the BBM app with a delete button. That's on OS7.1. The route to get there in OS6 or 7.0 may be a little different, but similar.

It shouldn't...
Also if you drag it over to the Dock that will just be a shortcut to the mounted file. Are you dragging it directly into the Applications folder via the Finder Window? |

G'day DrQuincy, Using the above image as a reference, after you downloaded the .dmg file and double-click on it, next step is to just click and hold on the App icon, in this case it's the big S for Skype, then just slide it over to the Application folder icon which has the arrow pointing at it, and release the mouse. The Application folder icon in this window is just an alias (Shortcut) to your real Apps folder. You have just installed the App, so now open a Finder window and click on the little triangle with a line under it, which is in the left pane to the right of the App's name, as per this image: By doing this you have unmounted the volume or drive from your desktop: The next step is to navigate to your Apps folder and launch the newly installed application. Lastly, you'll most likely still have a .dmg file on your desktop and you can trash it or keep it for later on (or 'Ron as we say in Aust). Not all downloads are treated as this one but the idea is the same. Some downloaded apps need stuffit expander (.sit files) and some are Packages (.pkg) which just require a double click on the .pkg icon and as the old saying goes: Bob's your Aunt's live-in lover.:bone: |

Naughty Dog: "Much" of The Last of Us Multiplayer Team Have Returned for Uncharted 4 Multiplayer
This is good news, right?
This is good news, right?
How will Sony survive now that Uncharted 4 is not on track for 2015? PSLS tries to weigh in.
It's become more ambitious than originally envisioned.
Based on review average and sales per entry.
Spoiler: There's a lot.
"But that's true for any game."
Uncharted 4 multiplayer is still in the experimenting stage.
Currently, it's running at over 30fps.
"It seems like an eternity from now until when we'll be finished with it, but it's a year."
Get another look at Nate and Sam.
Sam is five years older than Nate.
Druckmann says trying to find closure for Nathan's story has been "really challenging."
Bring on the games!
There's still "quite some time" to optimize and refine the technology.
Nolan North AND Troy Baker in the same game?? Madness!
Drake takes on some bad guys.
In 2015, they want to reward PlayStation Plus subscribers and explore all the PS4's connected features.
"Naughty Dog has a track record."
He also talks about Crash Bandicoot frustration and some scrapped sci-fi game art.

A new global economic geography has emerged in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. It has produced both winners and losers in the emerging markets and divided Latin America into two regional clusters with contrasting patterns of economic growth. Paradoxically, the most dynamic economies and key beneficiaries of the new economic geography are the most vulnerable to further global financial turmoil, such as the current eurozone crisis. On October 5, the Latin America Initiative at Brookings hosted a discussion to present the first Brookings-CERES (Center for the Study of Economic and Social Affairs) "Latin America Macroeconomic Outlook: A Global Perspective" report, examining the opportunities and risks that the new global economic geography poses to policymakers and the international community. Senior Fellow Ernesto Talvi, director of the Latin America Initiative and academic director of CERES, presented the report and its findings. A discussion followed featuring Guillermo Calvo of Columbia University and Carmen Reinhart of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. Bloomberg News Senior Correspondent Indira Lakshmanan moderated the discussion. After the program, panelists took audience questions. You can follow the conversation on this event on Twitter using the hashtag #LAIMacro.

"Crowbar Governor offers readers a privileged glimpse into Connecticut politics during the Gilded Age, when Bulkeley served as mayor of Harford, governor of Connecticut, and first president of the National Baseball League."—Connecticut Explored
First biography of one of Connecticuts most colorful and notorious statesmen
While president of Aetna Life from 1879 to 1922, Morgan Bulkeley served four terms as mayor of Hartford, two terms as Connecticut's governor, and one term as a United States senator. His friends and business and political acquaintances were a who's who of the Gilded Age: Samuel Clemens, J. P. Morgan, Samuel and Elizabeth Colt, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Leland Stanford, Charles Crocker, Albert Spalding, General Sherman, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Katherine Hepburn, as well as every president from Ulysses Grant to Warren Harding. In 1874 Bulkeley formed the Hartford Dark Blues who soon joined the unruly National Association, antecedent of the National League. He served as the league's first president for a year, and was later elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. It was during Bulkeley's controversial "holdover" term as governor that he earned the nickname "Crowbar Governor." He used a crowbar to remove a lock that had been placed on his office door after refusing to vacate the governor's chambers on a technicality. Written in classic storyteller fashion, and augmented by copious research, Crowbar Governor offers readers a privileged glimpse into life and politics in Connecticut during the Gilded Age.
Click here for TABLE OF CONTENTS
"With its wealth of information and anecdotes, Crowbar Governor fills a long-standing need for a biography of Morgan G. Bulkeley, a pivotal figure in early twentieth century Connecticut politics. A great read for the historian and general reader alike."—David J. Corrigan, museum curator, Museum of Connecticut History
"With a flair for telling a good story, Kevin Murphy connects the reader with Bulkeley's life and the Connecticut in which he grew up and came to power."—Matthew Warshauer, professor of history, Central Connecticut State University

Rani Mukherjee on the set of Aiyya
its glad that my picture is uploaded here... and thank you sooo mch guys who have appreciated me...though ull find me in the dancers credits bt ur comments mean a lot to me and d controvercial comments are also appreciated s Rani is a DIVA n standing by her is also a great deal to me....still m more happy to c d comments...thank u all n luv u.... Rani looks way older than the other girl in this pic, not to mention totally upstaged by the younger woman. I really want to know who she is, can someone shed some light on her identity please? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- jokes apart,the girl is pretty..and she is pretty excited to take a pict taken with Rani..and who wouldn't be?? After all she is the RANI of beauty,charm & TALENT :) She has evolved into a true DIVA through the years LOVE her to death!!! Rani looks way older than the other girl in this pic, not to mention totally upstaged by the younger woman. I really want to know who she is, can someone shed some light on her identity please? Other girl can't even hold a candle next to Rani. Rani looks like a super star, just look at her face, the calmness, the confidence, timeless beauty. The other girl is an extra who got lucky to have her photo taken with Rani. She is pretty yes but not compare to the queen. I pity the haters (anons who think the other girl is prettier) :P She looks a pakki DIVA in all of her pics. She sure lives up to her name Rani The Queen!! The other girl is also pretty yes, but it's them eyes, oh that tigeress eyes which melts your heart in a heart beat. Gosh even if someone who doesnt know Rani and asked to be picked between the two girls, he would have pointed out on Rani immediately. It's her persona, the beauty, the stardom makes her who she is. Rani looks superb...Mashaallah!!! she is gorgeous and has beautiful eyes :) @Thu, 2012-05-17 14:51 — Anonymous Can't wait to see the Lavani song. I'm sure she will do it better than Vidya in FKS. I think it looks like she is covering up a bump, which is probably a part of the movie. Not revealing her outfit hmmmm. Oh god I cant wait for this movie to release .

We stayed 2 nights during the Easter weekend in one of the castle rooms of the original building, which are more spacious and have more atmosphere than the standard rooms. Also, we had a very nice king size bed.
The entrance and lobby are well styled and so are the corridors which have nice sitting corners.
We had breakfast and dinner and the quality of food was just great. We enjoyed it very much. The staff was very friendly. Overall very good value for your money.

Air-powered Lego car hits the street
The Lego roadster's engineering and build dynamics are impressive given the medium
Designed by self-taught designer, 20 year-old Raul Oaida of Romania, the Lego roadster is magically powered by a secret amalgam of Lego pieces and pump parts
The air-powered Lego roadster is based on a traditional hot rod design
The Lego roadster is air-powered by 256 pistons inside 4 orbital engines ... no power ratings were divulged at this time
Designer Raul Oaida in the driver's seat with funding organizer and partner, Steve Sammartino in the passenger seat
The air-powered Lego roadster is reported to be the first of many in a series of projects for the Super Awesome Microproject team
A myriad of hose work surrounds the 4 orbital engines providing air to the 256 pistons
The nose on the 256 pistoned engine looks remarkably similar to a radial engine used in aircraft applications
Power seems to come from the center mounted console shifter as no accelerator peddle is noticeable
The designers report a top speed of 30 km/h (18 mph) for the car, but the speed was purposely kept low during test runs to avoid a potential Lego explosion
Co-founder Steve Sammartino would not divulge details about the vehicle's transmission, power output or how air is generated
Over 500,000 pieces of black, yellow and transparent Lego were used to construct the vehicle
The doors are functional and 100 percent Lego
the low profile windscreen was built using transparent Lego blocks
The pixelated steering wheel would be less than ideal for a lengthy roadtrip
The steering wheel is Lego but the gauges monitoring the engine's air pressure and outputs are off the shelf items
The load bearing components, including tires, wheels and other miscellaneous parts are non-Lego

Article Summary
The perfect do-it-yourself gift for budding designers and architects during the holiday season has to be Lego. The small blocks of plastic with millions of design outcomes have entertained many a child since the early 1950s. Now an ambitious duo has snapped together 500,000 pieces of the stuff to create the world's first air-powered Lego roadster.

Our First Lady shocked virtually all of the fashion industry when she opted for this modern one-shoulder ivory silk chiffon gown from newbie designer Jason Wu for the inaugural balls on January 20. The 26-year-old Taiwan native told ESSENCE.com of his design, "I wanted the dress to be powerful and feminine. It had to represent hope, and white is like a clean slate. We are starting a new chapter in our country and I wanted the dress to represent that."

How to Season, Raise, and Take Care of a New Yixing Clay Teapot
You will need to prepare (also called seasoning) a new YiXing teapot before first use. By taking care of your Yixing teapot month after month, year after year it will give you rewards by changing appearance, developing its character, and greatly enhancing the taste of your brews. Thus, your tea experience will be richer, just as an old friend makes one's life more rich and more complete.
1Seasoning a new Yixing teapot Scrub the inside of the teapot with a sponge or other material that is not too abrasive. Rinse the teapot with clear water, fill it and then let it sit with the water inside overnight.Ad
2Place the teapot in a big pot and cover it with water. Put the pot on the fire and, once the water is boiling, cook the teapot for 30 minutes.
3After boiling the teapot in water, use it to brew some tea and pour it off in the pot. Fill the rest of the pot with water so that there is enough to submerge the teapot in it. Place the pot on the fire and put the teapot in it once it is boiling. Let the teapot sit for 3 minutes in the tea. Rinse the teapot with clear water.
4Cleaning a Yixing teapot. Before brewing tea, preheat the teapot with hot water. Empty the leaves once you have finished making tea. Rinse the teapot with clear water. Leave the teapot open with the lid on the side so that it can dry. Depending on the type of Zi Sha, it can take a night.
5Raising a Yixing teapot Always brew the same tea in a Yixing teapot. Do not change varieties. Due to its level of porosity, if you were to brew for months or years Da Hong Pao (Wuyi oolong tea) and Zhen Shan Bao Zhong (wuyi red tea) in the same teapot, your brews wouldn't show the real character of each of those two teas. For people who are tea adventurers and like to taste many different types of tea, it is recommended to use a gaiwan.
6After the teapot has been filled with water for the brew, pour a little bit of hot water on it. Rinse the inside of the teapot every time you finish making tea but do not rinse the outside. Once the teapot is covered with tea stain, or at least once a week, use a wet soft tissue to clean it. Then, once the stains are gone, use a dry soft tissue to rub it.AdAd

- NEVER use soap or detergent on Yixing clay teapots. Yixing teapots absorb tea, as well as non-tea chemical cleaners.
- Do NOT put Yixing teapots near any funny smell, especially when they are wet - unless you want them to smell funny.

Yes, some celebrities like Nicki Minaj, Jesse J and Rihanna got it right at the Grammys.
-PJ Gach
The Grammys fashion is a motley mix. You've got Kim Kardashian wearing a bathrobe, Rita Ora looking like one of Doctor Who's Cybermen, then you've got Taylor Swift—who rarely misses on the red carpet, Charlie XCX and Lady Gaga who do it right.
Read Katy Perry and the Worst Dressed at the Grammys
Let's get on with who literally rocked it on the red carpet at the Grammys.
Taylor Swift
Her turquoise gown with cutourt was based on a 50s silhouette that was given a modern, sexy twist created by Elie Saaab. The man is a design genius.
Gwen Stefani
Even when she's at a playground with her kids, Gwen Stefani just owns the room. She's a style icon in the true sense of the phrase. She has her own fashion point of view and whatever she wears becomes ridiculously chic.
Nick Minaj
With Nicki, every red carpet event gets better and better. She looks glorious in this beaded dress by Tom Ford.

Released: Apr 01st, 2001
Running Time: 117
Director: Sean Michaels
Company: Sean Michaels Entertainment
Envy (I), Marcella (I), Chennin Blanc, Sean Michaels, Cheyne Collins, Obsession, Kit Kat, Billy Glide, Sophie Evans, Dave Cummings
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Feature
A great sell for couples and fans of light-hearted porn.
Quirky, funny and very hot spoof on James Bond flicks really delivers with a delightful mix of humor and humping. Sean Michaels parodies 007 as "Sean Bond," the spy who uses his "love ray" to extract information about the Thunderballs Project from unsuspecting female agents. The result is a light-hearted video chock-full of pussy-licking, dick-sucking and anal pounding, including a steamy d.p. With creative camera work and campy laughs, Thunderballs will definitely appeal to those who like intense porn that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Does the end of summer have you feeling blue? Cheer up - another Death Match is on the horizon! Chess.com has secured the lineup for Death Match 19, featuring GM David Smerdon and GM Simon Williams!
The two GMs will face off in three hours of intense blitz and bullet chess until a clear winner is determined. The victor will get the fame, the glory, and a large chunk of the $1000 cash prize!
The match will take place live on Saturday, November 2 at noon Eastern, 9 a.m. Pacific. Tune in to chess.com/tv for live commentary from IM Danny Rensch and special guests.
GM David Smerdon -- FIDE 2521. Nicknamed "Smurf" because of his last name and childhood prowess, the Australian GM is currently the second-highest rated player in his country. He is only the fourth Australian to earn the title.
GM David Smerdon, the first Death Match Aussie
Smerdon is also an accomplished academic, having earned a Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Science. He then worked for the Australian Treasury and received a graduate degree in economics before winning his country's version of the Fulbright and pursuing a doctorate in the Netherlands in the field of human behavior and economics.
All that rigorous study is far afield from some of his opening choices. Known to enjoy playing many wild gambits in classical play, here is one of his most fascinating games. He offers his queen and both rooks, but places all of his minors in the middle of the board for one of the most uncompromising games you'll ever play through:
GM Simon Williams -- FIDE 2481. Williams is a British GM who, like Smerdon, also has a penchant for creative openings. His nickname is the "GingerGM" (one look at his coif will tell you why). He is one of the world's foremost authorities on the Dutch Defense, beating GM Boris Gelfand in 2012 with his pet opening. Williams has also taken to playing the King's Gambit as white recently, with many entertaining games as a result.

He has played in the British Championship six times, finishing second twice, including this year's 100th edition. One of his biggest victories came on home soil at the 2010 London Chess Classic Open.
When the mood strikes him, Williams can vary his repetoire with the Slav Defense. Like his Death Match opponent, the Briton also knows when minors can trump rooks. Here all four converge against the white king:
----These two Commonwealth GMs promise to offer one of the most creative Death Matches yet. Be sure to mark your calendars for Saturday, November 2, with pre-match interviews starting at noon Eastern, 9 a.m. Pacific. The action will be covered live on ChessTV, open to all members and hosted by IM Danny Rensch and other titled players.
Deathmatch usually refers to a game where you stay in game only by winning. One lose is game over.
What is a "death match?"
I could become a 2500 level GM and never play a game like the example game of Smerdon. I just don't think I have the nerves. What a game! Will probably be supporting Williams on this one though and regardless of winner it should be exciting. Bring on November.
This event is being sponsored by Chess.com. The GM's need only play for a couple hours for a shot at few hundred bucks...that's not bad at all! They're a business first and foremost, and $1000 isn't chump change.
Now I wouldn't be surprised if Chess.com is working on a blitz match between a couple of super GM's that will have a bigger prize fund....
when will you have a match between previous match winners?...
5000 USD would be much better
Go Australia: Smurfie for the win
Going over the Smerdon game above, I must conclude that he is clinically insane. I admire that in a GM.
Both these GM's have a proclivity for exciting play.
Buckle up folks, this will be extremely entertaining for fans of hack and slash and caveman style attacks.
Can we no longer watch previous Chess TV streams? I can't seem to see anything on the chess.com/tv page for older stuff. Disapointing for people in timezones where watching stuff live isn't possible.
WHo needs rooks anyways?
I look forward to this match! We can expect fireworks on the chess board.
The prize should be higher though.
Why only 1000 USD cash prize? I think that kind of death match deserves more professional fee.

The Heil PR 31 BW was a suggestion of Bob Workman, FOH engineer for Charlie Daniels, who uses Heil microphones exclusively. Bob uses the Heil PR 30 for just about every application but it was too large physically to fit in and around the drum kit so Bob suggested Heil "cut it in half," and that's exactly what they did—and the Heil PR 31 BW was born—a 4" version of the PR 30 that exhibits all specs of the full-size PR 30. It has the same great frequency response, same wonderful front pattern, and the incredible -40 dB of rear and side rejection, which is perfect for using the PR 31 BW as an "underhead" microphone for cymbals.
Placing a microphone under the cymbal has never been successful because the microphone hears everything around it. With the -40 dB of rear and side rejection of the PR 31 BW, the microphone does not hear anything but what it is point towards—in this case, the cymbal and nothing from the toms or other sounds close by.
Using a right-angle connector and the Heil Sound HH-1 rim mount, the PR 31BW is the perfect low-profile answer for toms. The PR 31 BW also works great in front of a guitar cabinet, brass, and saxophone, inside a Leslie speaker, and is perfect for acoustic pianos. It's a go-to microphone for just about everything, including vocals. This incredible little bombshell is rightfully named, the HEIL PR 31 BW in honor and thanks to Bob Workman

The PS4 has been launched and out in the market for 3 months already, and still scarcity of supplies is still felt by a number of gamers who don't have their next-gen consoles yet.
According to Express, it seems that this will be the case for some until April 2014. The 5.3 million units sold may be the understatement of how the PS4 is one of the most sought-after devices currently, and Sony seems to still be working on how to meet the growing demands for the console.
*"Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare" is something to watch out for, as a new gameplay hands-on video released shows a very interesting shooter game: Check it out here for more.
"I can't work it out precisely [on when the PS4 will be available]. But based on what I've seen so far, I think it is going to be tricky until around about April," said Fergal Gara, PlayStation UK managing director said in a statement quoted by Express.
This is quite the different scenario with the PS4 launch over in Japan, wherein DualShockers reports that the need for scalpers, or those who purchase the PS4 consoles and sell them at a higher price, were just a small factor in the event.
Previously, there were a lot of eBay sales for PS4s during the launch period, with prices jacked up to $1,000 in some cases. According to the report, the unsuccessful scalpers were due to the fact that despite the PS4 being sold out in the pre-orders, SCE Japan and Asia president Hiroshi Kawano has promised that they would ensure good volume of units at launch. That and the fact that online buying is fast becoming a habit in Japan.
*This is why it's safe to hope that "Far Cry 4" is coming sooner than a lot later: Read the full story here.
New Releases for February Revealed
Starting Feb 25, the PS4's The Drop will feature quite a number of goodies,starting with "Thief" dropping in for the PS4 and PS3. The re-imagined stealth game is just one of those that will be made available for the PlayStation, as the PlayStation Blog lists down some new games up for download.
The PS4 will also get "Basement Crawl," the strategic horror game that takes its roots from the "Bomberman" series. Gamers can enjoy both offline and online modes for this game, and can take on four characters as they go through traps and modes.
The PS3 will get "Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2," which will continue the original story of the Belmont family. It will also feature some fluid combat and weapons and discoveries of other secrets in the series.
*A new Tony Hawk game is in the works! Read here for more.
"Magus" will also be dropping by the PS3. This seems interesting in that the game will feature forgotten gods whose powers have waned, as well as a quest of one devoted Kinna to change lives via magical abilities. The game comes from publisher Aksys, also responsible for "Virtue's Last Reward."
"Pac-Man Museum" will also be coming in for the PS3, which include hints of the classic games as well as "Pac-Man Championship Edition." "Tales of Symphonia Chronicles" from developer Namco Bandai will also be available for the PS3. Lastly, the niche-targeted game "Port Royal 3 Gold Edition" will also be docking on the PS3 on Feb 25.
"Mahjong World Contest" will be available for the PS4 Vita, while "Herc's Adventures," the Greek hero, will be a PSOne Classic digital release.

After half a decade, I still think Africa to Appalachia is one of the best contributions to the genre of koras-with-other-things. Jayme Stone was the Other Thing. He has a lightly ephemeral way of picking his banjo, not light as in lightweight but light as in almost sneakily offhand and quiet: it's easy to miss how good he is. He's like a man buttering a piece of bread, everything spreads out so easily.
The Other Side of the Air is supposed to be based around the idea of islands but you might as well ignore that and let it be a collection of tracks with different themes: two Mali-melodied numbers, both unalike; one concerto "for banjo and chamber symphony" in four movements by his longtime collaborator Andrew Downing who plays with atonality and ragtime; a slow "Tennessee Waltz", and so forth. Tracks such as the Downing collab and "A Poet in Her Own Country"—which was inspired by Stone's friendship with the poet Ronna Bloom and sits at about the size of a chamber orchestra, with the shadowy moo of large bowed strings and a creeping french horn—give this album a more European-classical sound than the kora collaboration, but there's a unifying thoughtfulness across all of his work, a relaxed openness to influences. This combination of ambition and freedom is something I like very much.

› Home › Plastic Information › Types of Plastic
There exist about 50 different types of plastics. Broadly plastics can be classified into two types namely Thermosetting and Thermoplastic. The Thermosetting Plastics are those that cannot be soften again, after being exposed to heat and pressure. On the action of heat and pressure, the molecular chain of thermosetting plastics become cross-linked, due to what it forbids the slippage when pressure& heat are reapplied.
The thermoplastic are those that can be soften again and again & remade by the action of heat and pressure. On the action of heat and pressure, the molecular chain of thermoplastics undergoes change and the polymers slide past each other, that results in the property of plasticity. Some of the different thermoplastic and thermosetting plastics are mentioned below.

Our First Video I think my horse had circus toons in his head. He had no idea what a horse show was. First official show together this year, 2013. He was off pattern to each barrel, wasn't paying attention at all. Nothing we practiced is seen here. LOL |
Says the video is private. |
You have to change your privacy settings on youtube before anyone can see it. It's set to private right now. |
sorry. how about now? |
Well.... you gotta start somewhere, right? :wink: What did you do for your warm-up? Was she listening to you in the warm-up pen? The pattern aside, I think probably the biggest mistake I see is that you didn't MAKE her listen to you. Even when my horses are in a new environment, I don't really care if they gawk at things, but I expect them to keep their attention and respect on me. Now it will certainly depend on the rules of the show that you attend, but if the rules allowed it, I would have made her circle that second barrel several times instead of just allowing her to "miss" it. You gave yourself a no time anyway for breaking the pattern; why not turn it into some schooling instead? (Again, if the show allows it ... some don't.) And then as I mentioned about the warm-up, I do lots of bending, flexing, and giving exercises in the warm-up pen; especially if they are a young horse in a new place. Even though things are new and exciting around them, I want their attention on ME and listening to my cues. |
Thanks so much for your input. I totally agree on making him circle the second barrel. Being this particular group is unfamiliar to us I wasn't sure about most of their rules. I was wondering if they would allow me to do that. I hate passing up an oppurtunity to teach him and/or make him listen. These shows are NBHA shows, however in our district it seems they are strict on some things and not on others. It was very hard to follow their rules when they didn't give you any info unless you asked and they didn't produce a class list beforehand. I kept running in the announcers office to ask if we were allowed to do certain things. Also, I'm new to barrel racing, I've spent half my life doing hunter/jumper and intro dressage. LOL The warm ups were great, I was able to grab his attention well because I kept doing circles and keeping him guessing. He calmed down very well, not at first though. lol I can post my other video of our exhibition run, which I used as an oppurtunity to introduce the arena to him and I made him go slow. He did way better I feel then the final. |

How to Draw a Rebel Flag
Do you want to learn how to draw a Confederate or "rebel" flag?Here is how to draw it. First, get out a normal piece of clean white paper, a pencil, and two markers, a red, and a blue.
1Using the pencil, draw an x on the piece of paper. Make the center of the x a little less than an inch below the center of the paper.Ad
2Draw a second x, this time making the center a little less than an inch ABOVE the center of the paper.
3Trace with the blue marker, erasing the inside lines around the center.
4Draw thirteen stars inside the x, using the pencil once again. These will be left colorless.
5Color in the x with the blue marker, but remember, do not color in the stars, simply trace around them.
6Outside of the x, fill in the rest of the white paper red.
7This is how the finished flag will look like.Ad

- Remember, the Confederate Battle Flag was square, not rectangular.
- If you are offended by this symbol, don't assume it is a hate symbol. To many, the flag is a symbol of pride and heritage and they may not view the flag in the same way you do.
- Many confederate supporters feel that this flag symbolizes an opinion that states rights are more important than national rights or human rights.
- Be aware that the Confederate flag can be controversial. To some, it is a proud symbol of the South but to others it is a reminder of the shame of slavery and racial segregation. The confederate flag has been used as a symbol by the KKK and other hate groups so it is not surprising that some Americans are offended by it.
- Please remember to respect the symbol that is this flag. People may become offended if you disrespect it- generally, try to treat it with as much respect as you treat the current American flag. Remember, this was one of the flags used by the Confederacy during the American Civil War, and thousands of people died painfully for what it stood for.

Product description
100 Ideas that Changed Fashion chronicles the most influential fashion ideas through which womenswear has evolved. Charting the movements, developments and ideas that transformed the way women dress, the book gives a unique perspective on the history of twentieth-century fashion. But rather than just documenting these changes in fashion, it crucially explains why they happened. From the invention of the bias cut and the stiletto heel to the designers who changed the way we think about clothes, the book will be entertaining, intelligent and a visual feast.

Baby names...
My hubby and I find out what we are having tomorrow!!!! At least I find out tomorrow lol I haven't desided when to tell him yet. I keep joking with him about that b/c he has school when I have the ultrasound.
I like for a girl...
Rosa Lee (spelling might change idk) .... possible full name... Rosa Lee Dalores or Rosa Lee Dalores Kathleen or Rosa Lee Kathleen Dalores
I like for a boy...
Noah.... possible middle name(s) Noah Kenneth or Noah Samuel Kenneth
Hubby likes ... Antonio (I don't like it at all no way)
We have two already. Our daughter is Lena Kathleen Louise (middle names, Kathleen is traditional and Louise is after my grandma)
and our son is Alexander David Rafael (middle names are after my hubbys grand fathers)
What do you think? We like 2 middle names. I am concerned that Rosa Lee might be a little to ""twilighty" lol, but I really like it. I am kinda hoping for a girl but I think we are having a boy and that is ok too of course : )
Thank you : ) I like your suggestions on making it a less Twilight type name. Rosemarie is very close sounding so that might be a name I could come around too, I really am in love with Rosa Lee lol. Dolares is my mil name and my hubby really wants to have her in the name of a girl, but her name is actually Maria de Dolares (It is a Mexican thing/name) I think Maria is to traditional lol.
Quoting Fellie:Noah is nice. Rosa Lee is okay, maybe Rosemarie or Rosalyn or Rosevere if it's too much like Twilight. I don't like Dalores, but it's a Harry Potter thing. idk I'm not one for traditional names.
