October is my favourite month of the year – hands down. It may have something to do with it being my birthday month, but I think it's more about the fall colours, sweaters and boots coming out of the closet, and the furnace having kicked in. It gives me a really cozy feeling inside and I just love it!
I recently got a dog ("Abby") and this has made me really appreciate October even more – something I didn't think was really possible!
As a responsibility to Abby, I make an effort to walk her twice a day. Yes, it is hard to keep this commitment to her, but I prioritize it and they may not always be the best walks, but she is strapped to a leash twice each day and taken off the property. As we are losing daylight, this is becoming harder, too, but we persevere. Some days, we are able to find or make time for a good long walk and a way to take it onto the local trails. It's more exciting for both of us when we can make this happen.
Initially, the walks were about keeping her happy, entertained, and exercised. The surprising by-product is that I am happier and exercised, too. The only thing that is suffering is my PVR because I don't have as much time to watch TV in the evenings any more (oh, darn!). If I'm on dog-walking duty, not a day goes by that I don't get at least 10,000 steps in. Moreover, I'm getting the chance to really appreciate the full beauty of fall.
I am not suggesting that everyone needs a dog to be more active because owning any pet is a huge responsibility. But, what about grabbing a non-furry friend for a walk? Nature is giving us a spectacular show at this time of the year. Even the best high-definition TV can't capture the full show. And, while looking at the amazing colours around us, you may not notice that your feet are hitting the pavement a little more than usual.
What is your favourite thing about fall?

Blur tolerance for luminance and chromatic stimuli
JOSA A, Vol. 18, Issue 6, pp. 1231-1239 (2001)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (170 KB)
We investigated the blur tolerance of human observers for stimuli modulated along the isoluminant red–green, the isoluminant yellow–blue, and the luminance (black–white) direction in color space. We report the following results: (i) Blur difference thresholds for red–green and luminance stimuli (of equal cone contrast) are very similar and as low as 0.5 min of visual angle; for yellow–blue the lowest blur thresholds are much higher (1.5 min of visual angle). (ii) The smallest blur thresholds are found for slightly blurred square waves (reference blur of 1 arc min) and not for sharp edges. (iii) Blur thresholds for red–green and black–white follow a Weber law for reference (pedestal) blurs greater than the optimum blur. (iv) Using the model proposed by WattMorgan [Vision Res. 24, 1387 (1984)] we estimated the internal blur of the visual system for the black–white and the red–green color directions and arrived at the following estimates: 1.2 arc min for black–white stimuli at 10% contrast and 0.9 arc min for red–green stimuli at 10% cone contrast. Blur tolerance for yellow–blue is independent of external blur and cannot be predicted by the model. (v) The contrast dependence of blur sensitivity is similar for red–green and luminance modulations (slopes of -0.15 and -0.16 in log–log coordinates, respectively) and slightly stronger for yellow–blue

What is temporal arteritis?
Temporal arteritis is a serious disorder that causes chronic inflammation of the large and medium arteries of the head, which supply oxygenated blood to portions of the head and brain. This inflammatory disease results in an inadequate supply of oxygen and nutrients in the brain and head areas.

What causes temporal arteritis?
Temporal arteritis is believed to be an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system mistakenly attacks normal cells of the large and medium arteries in the head. In temporal arteritis, inflammation caused by this attack affects the flow of blood through the arteries and the ability to adequately supply oxygen and nutrients to the brain and head areas. Temporal arteritis can also affect other... Read more about temporal arteritiscauses
How is temporal arteritis treated?
Temporal arteritis is very treatable and even curable in many cases. Early diagnosis and treatment can reduce and eliminate symptoms and is critical in preventing serious complications, such as stroke and blindness. Long-term treatment may be necessary.
Treatment of temporal arteritis generally includes high doses of a corticosteroid medication called prednisone, which suppresses ...

COLUMBIA — Police are looking for a suspect in connection with the Saturday evening robbery of The Bocomo Bay mixed martial arts supply store.
Officers were dispatched to the store at 1122 Wilkes Boulevard shortly before 6 p.m. Saturday, according to a news release from the Columbia Police Department.
The clerk on duty told the officers investigating that a male suspect entered the store to buy an item, went behind the counter and then put a hard object to the clerk's back, the release said. The suspect then ran north from the store with an undisclosed amount of cash.
The Columbia Police Department is asking if anyone knows anything regarding this robbery to contact them or Crime Stoppers at (573) 875-8477.
Supervising editor is Zach Murdock.

DAVAO CITY, Philippines -- Cure International is working with Tim Tebow to build a hospital in the Philippines, which was hit Thursday by Super Typhoon Haiyan.
First Coast News has learned that even after the storm, the Tebow CURE Hospital is still on track to open next spring.
Tebow's brother Robbie said that while the Tebow Cure Hospital that is under construction in Philippines was not impacted, tomorrow the Tebow Foundation plans to launch an aid initiative to help everyone impacted.
A spokesman for Cure International said Tim Tebow learned about the organization and reached out to help with the hospital.
Tebow has been instrumental in getting the 30-bed surgical hospital for children built there. It will focus primarily on orthopedics.
The Philippines are very near and dear to Tebow's heart. His parents were Christian missionaries there and that is where he was born.
Cure International is continuing to raise money to purchase equipment needed for the hospital.

Lonesome Leash (aka Walt McClements, a touring member and collaborator of Dark Dark Dark, and also a member of punk orchestra Why Are We Building Such a Big Ship? and New Orleans' Panorama Jazz Band) is releasing his debut album, I am No Captain, on January 1. It's a freaky, folky album that should appeal to people who like their Decemberists/Mountain Goats cut with a little Gypsy flavor. He recently revealed the first single, "Ghosts," and we've now got another album cut for you, the appropriately titled "Feeding Frenzy," which is making its premiere in this post. You can stream both of those below.
Lonesome Leash is taking the record on tour early next month/year, which includes a record release show in Brooklyn at Sycamore on January 4. The tour also includes a TBA show taking place one day later (1/5).
Song streams and a list of all dates below...
Polica @ Webster Hall, 10/6/2012 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
Polica's debut album, Give You the Ghost, has shown up on a few Best Of lists this year (like NME and The Fly) but what records did they like in 2012? Well we've got their Top 10 LPs list right here and is topped by Kendrick Lamar's good kid, m.A.A.d city.
They also give props to Minneapolis pal P.O.S. (with whom they collaborate in Gayngs and Marijuana Deathsquads who have sometimes also played as backing band) whose We Don't Even Live Here makes the list. So does their neighbor Now Now's Threads which was released on Chris Walla's Trans label. Check out their whole list below.

Emily Wells at Bowery Ballroom, April 2012 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
Emily Wells released Mama Remixed, which takes her entire album, Mama, from earlier this year and gives it a new spin. Says Emily:
I couldn't be more excited to announce the release of "Mama Remixed". In collaboration with 13 artists, each song from the record has been remixed and a few of them twice! With contributions from Lemonade, Jeremiah Jae, Ed Rodriguez of Deerhoof, Kid Koala, Dan the Automator, Live Footage, Timmy Straw, The Blow... (just to name a few), I'm honored to be in such good company.You can download Mama Remixed for free above or stream it below. Emily is also out on the road touring with Dark Dark Dark. That tour hits NYC soon: October 12 at Knitting Factory (tix) and October 13 at Le Poisson Rouge (tix). All tour dates are listed below.I hope you'll enjoy these and spread them around. We wanted to make something special to explore these songs further and to thank you for being so good to me and supporting my work.

Baroque quintet Dark Dark Dark will release their new album, Who Needs Who, on October 2 via Supply and Demand. The day after the record comes out, the group -- who split their time between Minneapolis and New Orleans -- will head out on tour, hitting NYC for two dates: October 12 at Knitting Factory (tix) and October 13 at Le Poisson Rouge (tix). Both shows are with Emily Wells and all tour dates are listed at the bottom of this post.
The new album's creation was a tumultuous one, as founders Nona and Marshall LaCount split as a couple in late 2011. But tumult and heartache sometimes lead to beautiful music, and if lead single "Tell Me" is any indication, that is the case here. You can stream it and another album track below.
Streams and tour dates are listed below.

The National have announced that they're headlining and curating at ATP in Minehead UK, which is happening from December 7-9, 2012. So far, in addition to The National, the lineup (not very surprisingly) includes Sharon Van Etten (who plays the sold out Mercury Lounge tonight), My Brightest Diamond, Wye Oak, Megafaun, The Antlers, Buke and Gase (FKA Buke and Gass), Lower Dens, Owen Pallett, Boris, Tim Hecker, Kronos Quartet, Suuns< and Dark Dark Dark. More artists TBA. Tickets go on sale Friday (1/20) at 2 PM.
Maybe this lineup will shed some light on the bands Aaron and Bryce Dessner will be choosing when they curate BAM in May.
ATP's NJ festival happens in September and is being curated by Greg Dulli.
Speaking of Lower Dens, they've just revealed plans to release a followup to their 2010 debut LP, Twin-Hand Movement. The new album, titled Nootropics, will be out April 30 via the Domino affiliate label Ribbon Music. Grab the fast paced lead single, "Brains," at the top of this post and stream it below.

Dark Dark Dark / A Hawk and a Hacksaw
"Eerily soothing piano melodies, smirking accordion lines plucked from a New Orleans carnival, cloudy gang vocal harmonies, and lonely horn bleats inhabit last year's Bright Bright Bright EP and full-length Wild Go (both from Supply & Demand Music). Thus far, the catalogue of Dark Dark Dark could be mistaken for lullabies inexplicably emanating from a deserted lakeside cabin haunted by Tori Amos and Gogol Bordello . . . except that, thankfully, Amos and those affiliated with the Bordello camp are alive and well, and therefore can't haunt anything. [The Phoenix]The A Hawk and a Hacksaw (ft. Neutral Milk Hotel's Jeremy Barnes) / Dark Dark Dark / Pillars & Tongues tour came to NYC for two shows last week - 9/28 at the Bell House and 9/29 at Drom. Pictures from the latter are in this post.
A Hawk and a Hacksaw have since opened for Jeff Mangum as part of ATP at the Paramount Theater in Asbury Park on Friday (9/30) and will again in the same venue tonight (10/3)...
Without a word, Neutral Milk Hotel frontman Jeff Magnum walked onto the stage of Asbury Park's gilded, enveloping Paramount Theatre Friday night and eased into "Oh Comely," staring straight ahead, singing "soft silly music is meaningful, magical." In the recorded version of that song, at the end, you can hear someone far off exclaim "holy shit!" as if startled - which is just about right.Jeff Mangum's entire Friday setlist, along with more pictures from the non-Mangum NYC show at Drom, below...Over an hour and 15 minutes, Mangum - performing as part of the three-day ATP I'll Be Your Mirror Festival - was focused and relaxed, sitting on a chair mid-stage. He was flanked by four guitars, bathed in autumn orange lighting and looking especially solitary in the theatre's expanse. Where Bon Iver has traded up in touring accompaniment, Mangum is more at home alone - except, of course, for the rapt, capacity crowd of around 1500. [Rolling Stone]
A Hawk and a Hacksaw
A Hawk and a Hacksaw (ft. Neutral Milk Hotel's Jeremy Barnes) are touring with Minneapolis chamber folk group Dark Dark Dark and Chicago avant-folk trio Pillars & Tongues surrounding their set at ATP NJ and their 10/3 Asbury Park show with Jeff Mangum.

""Nobody's been in my vagina for sooo long!" If you haven't been made aware of Marnie Stern's monotone hollers and fiercely angular guitarwork by now, then maybe you've just been purposely ignoring her. Again in the Cake Shop's sweaty, packed, and miserable basement Stern and her two bandmates gave the supportive crowd her thing just so - blast beats and rapid-fire guitar taps meet in perpendicular, with plenty of raunchy between-song banter from the infamously dirty-mouthed and adorable Stern." [City Pages]We already posted a few pictures from Wednesday's Terrorbird day party at Cake Shop. Now here is a more complete set, complete with Baths, the busy Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. , and headliner Marnie Stern who has also been keeping busy at CMJ. Catch both Marnie and Dale at the BrooklynVegan day party Saturday. Check out more pictures from Cake Shop, below...

CMJ Day 2 in review & pics (The Drums, Wild Nothing, Cloud Nothings, Prince Rama, Dale again & more)
words by Rachel Kowal, photos by Amanda Hatfield
The Drums @ Santos, late Wednesday night (this photo by Nathan Lee Bush)
When I started to scope out the schedule for Wednesday night, I planned on spending the first part of the night running back and forth between Spike Hill and Bruar Falls, but I decided to head over to Rock Shop instead, comforted by the knowledge that most of the bands I wanted to see (Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., The Magic Bullets, etc.) would be playing more sets later in the week anyway.
When I arrived at the Park Slope venue, Tape Deck Mountain was mid-set. At the time, I was fairly satisfied with the few songs I did catch (including a cover of "Mother" by Danzig) (a theme this week?). The band has decent vocals and execution, but when I later reflected on the bands I had seen, I realized that nothing about their set really stuck with me.
Up next was Cloud Nothings. The energy in the room picked up immediately when the Cleveland group began to play (of course it helped that the crowd had begun to fill out at that point). Possibly propelled by nerves or sheer excitement, the youthful band raced through their set as if competing at a track meet, slowing down just long enough for vocalist Dylan Baldi to entertain the audience with his endearing asides. Baldi may not have what you'd generally consider to be a 'good' voice, but he more than makes up for it in his delivery.
Just when I had begun to get a little sick of all-guy groups, the next two acts on the bill each featured a more even distribution of the sexes. Up first - Blair. Right before she and her backing band began their set, there was a bit of an upset when her acoustic guitar came crashing down, but she didn't let the setback dampen the mood. "I just broke a guitar, but it's ok," she said surprisingly nonchalantly. Thanks to their matching tie die shirts (worn by 3 out of 4 people anyway), sunny indie pop melodies, and Blair's unadulterated voice and accompanying song topics (she sings about things like love, candy, and dancing to Whitney Houston), things suddenly took a turn for twee, but I was totally ok with that.
For what it's worth, it was Blair's upbeat diddy "Hello Halo" that I found stuck in my head at the end of the night, and given the position of her set (right in the middle), that's saying something.
The Rock Shop was treating me well, but sadly, my itinerary called for me to return to Manhattan. I did get to stay just long enough to know what I was missing with Braids though. Their set-up may have been nearly identical to that of Blair, but their sound was much more polished thanks to the many overlapping layers of instrumentation and vocals that they carefully crafted on stage. Though I would have gladly stayed longer, I made my way to the train midway through their set.
When I arrived at Santos Party House for the Stereogum/PopGun show, I was a bit dismayed to see the long line extending down the block, but I somehow managed to get into the venue. I made my way to the smaller downstairs room to see Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. Just when I was really starting to get upset about the obnoxiously long wait (I could have seen more of Braids set!), I understood the reason for at last part of the hold-up: the group's two main members (Joshua Epstein and Daniel Zott) had run backstage to change into their costumes. Yes, costumes. Head to toe Nascar uniforms to be exact. It's hard to say whether this kind of shtick will hold up in the long run, but it's a pretty good way to stand out on a long list of relatively unknown bands (well that and their ridiculous name).
Whether it's your bag or not, chances are you might end up seeing these guys at some point during the week if you haven't already. They're certainly putting in the time. It was apparently their third show of the day. There wasn't much room for dancing in the packed room, but that didn't stop people from trying, and their light-hearted and energetic set certainly helped propel me through the rest of the night.
To close the evening, I darted upstairs to the main room at Santos to catch (the second half of) Wild Nothing and The Drums. It was kind of a weird succession of moods at that point. After leaving the lively basement room, Wild Nothing seemed even more subdued than I had remembered, but the group (under Jack Tatum's lead) put on a tight set. Considering the next band's laid back, sun-drenched sound, "Summer Holiday" was particularly enjoyable since it was distinctly more upbeat than their other tunes.
Then, finally a bit after 1:00am - The Drums. At this point, I was pretty exhausted, so I was pretty glad when singer Jonathan Pierce announced that they were going to play everything "twice as fast" so we could get home. The Drums seem to have mastered that fine balance of playfulness and artistry. It's hard not to grin at Pierce's over-the-top delivery. With a distinct swagger in his voice and some ridiculously exaggerated dance moves, he's a sight to behold - but so is the rest of the band, swaying in the background. These boys have come a long way since last summer.
I may not have gone to sleep until nearly 4:00am last night, but the constant adrenaline rush from just knowing how many good acts there are tonight should be more than enough to keep me going... that and the knowledge that I'm already planning on taking a personal day tomorrow.
Also Wednesday: "Viral sensation" Kyle Andrews, Animal Collective friends Prince Rama, and Minneapolis-based "chamber-folk sextet" Dark Dark Dark played the Terrorbird day party at Cake Shop with Kordan, Botany, Revolver, Baths, Marnie Stern, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. Pics of the first three adorn this post.
Dark Dark Dark are also on board for Supply & Demand/InDigest CMJ Official Showcase at CoCo 66 on Friday 10/22 with Franz Nicolay, Vandaveer, The Lisps, Milageres, and Spirit of the Red City. The band will also then Fontana's during the day on Saturday 10/23 to team up with Swells, Brian Bonz, Fairmont, New Numbers, and Skyler.
Prince Rama have a few dates this week, as discussed, including the Paw Tracks/ Car Park show at Cake Shop tonight (10/21) with Cloud Nothings, and the WFMU Record Fair on Saturday (10/23) with Ted Leo (who will also play the BV Day Party earlier that day).
Cloud Nothings also have shows coming up at the Fader Fort and Don Pedro's.

By the way, it was just regular old Gamma lead tape from TW. 3" strips (1/4 wide) at 10 & 2 on the inside of the frame of my MG Rad. Paint chip was probably an inch long.
i found a great, easy solution to this. it has never happened to me but when i first bought lead (gamma swingweights), the quality was disastrous, the adhesive barely working. the weights kept coming off when i took big cuts at the ball. i didn't want to use glue and make it very difficult to take off and possibly damage the paint.
i found some nice heavy duty tape and cut them into strips slightly longer and wider than the gamma swingweights. i stuck these onto the frame. applied super glue underneath the lead weights and stuck them on to the the tape. the strips should be bigger than the lead pieces/tape because when you press down and apply pressure, the super glue will bleed onto to the bare frame. so this way you're leaving a margin.
so far i haven't had a problem with lead coming off. i suspect the duct tape will come off easily without damaging the paint at all, although i haven't tried it yet. or you can experiment with various adhesive tapes to see which one comes off with the least effort, most cleanly; therefore being least likely to peel off paint and use that as a platform.

Sexy, but narrow
"I am very much a fan of the "T-strap" look, so when I went in search of the perfect T-strap, it was very tough since I do not buy shoes with a buckle. These do not have a buckle, but a zipper up the back. The zipper does not bother the back of my foot at all. The tip of the shoe near my toes is squared off and I love the love. The opening is not too wide. The heel is wider at the base, but is thin if you're looking at it from the back. It's a very unique look to the heel, but is very sexy. I love these shoe. They are very comfortable as well. I am a standard 7.5 and they barely fit me. If you are teetering between two sizes (like between a 7.5 and 8), go with a size higher in this shoe (the size 8)."
October 19, 2012
"These shoes have been crafted to perfection. I've been looking at them for about 3 months contemplating whether to purchase. I kept passing on them for something else I usually regretted. These will be a staple for years to come. I must confess that I have not worn them yet, but I can't wait to have an occasion! They will be in HEAVY rotation."

"A gorgeous shoe. Fit perfectly. So comfortable."

It was originally touted as the worst thing that could possibly happen. Okay, the second worst. Yet, the failure to meet the self-imposed Congressional deadline for tweaking the budget came and went last week with relatively little drama. That was surprising after the dire predictions made by members of Congress and the President which sounded suspiciously like the terrible warnings that they made after they couldn't manage to remedy the debt ceiling mess.
But, of course, that's Congress for you. They've been treating spending cuts like a bad diet: dreaming up consequences and then deciding that it's not really so bad. It's the whole, "I must lose five pounds by Thanksgiving" but then reaching for another pumpkin cupcake after dinner because they figure they can work it off later. Only with Congress, later never actually comes.
Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) who managed to put forth a sensible revenue alternative last week has apparently fallen off the fiscal responsibility wagon. He's joined the "let's do it tomorrow" crew by recommending that the automatic spending cuts not be so automatic. Of course, we knew that was coming. I just didn't see Toomey leading the charge.
Toomey, a member of the "Super Committee" (which really, really needs another name now), didn't support the law which made $1.2 trillion in cuts automatic if the budget wasn't remedied. The law passed anyway. Taxpayers breathed a sigh of relief at the time because we had a solution. But it was a fake solution, of course, because some members of Congress (apparently Toomey included) never took the deadline seriously.
The real problem? The automatic cuts don't make everyone happy.
I know, you're thinking that's the whole point of the Super Committee in the first place… to work out which cuts actually needed to happen so that we didn't have to rely on the automatic cuts. But that would be the sensible answer. The real answer was that the Super Committee was apparently a vehicle for foot stomping so that later, members of Congress could argue that they didn't get their way.
Toomey is now arguing that the automatic cuts will undermine the military. Maybe that's a fair statement. But why argue it now? Why not have cut a deal – when he had the chance – to save military programs if that's what he felt was important?
I don't want to hear that it was impossible. It wasn't impossible. For more than 200 years, our country has managed to pay the military and keep the lights on. Why this Congress can't make this happen is mind-boggling.
Of course, the cuts won't take effect until 2013 which means that for all of the histrionics, Congress has plenty of time to keep passing the blame and making dire threats. In the meantime, President Obama has threatened to veto an attempt to circumvent the automatic cuts which should make for an interesting 2012.

Terms of the settlement were not released. Hardy filed the suit claiming he was underpaid royalties and that Audigier underreported sales for the Ed Hardy clothing line, known for its embellished T-shirts featuring Hardy's tattoo work.
The lawsuit also accused Audigier of launching his eponymous line against the terms of the licensing agreement.
Since the lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Hardy has aligned with Iconix Brand Group, which acquired a 50 percent stake in the company in May.
"I am happy to announce that a settlement has been reached. This partnership pools the tremendous talent and resources of both Nervous Tattoo and Hardy Way and will secure the Ed Hardy brand as a leader in the fashion world for generations to come," Audigier said in a statement. "Putting the past behind us allows us to focus on the future, and with this partnership in place, the future has just begun."
Audigier Brand Management Group, which oversees the Nervous Tattoo division, manufactures apparel under the Christian Audigier, Ed Hardy, Smet, Crystal Rock, Paco Chicano, Rock Fabulous and Vif Speed Shop labels.—EdHardyGuide

Well first you have to pick on the list and im not talking about fusions but if i were allowing them then you would be right be hes not really a person hes a fusion of 2 people .
Future Trunks
Gogeta SS4, he counts, hes two saiyans, strongest one EVER no doubt
"Grimm Akumu's Page- www.myspace.com/mrgrimmofpic"
Well first you have to pick on the list and im not talking about fusions but if i were allowing them then you would be right be hes not really a person hes a fusion of 2 people .
One problem with that.
SS4 is actually weaker than SS3.
When Goku turned SS3, the entire planet shook and it was almost even destroyed by the immense energy during that first transformation. When Goku turned SS4, he made a crater, the energy hurt a wall or two, and ultimately shook a building. Maybe even broke a window for maximum effect.
Consider the following: Akira Toriyama intended the series to end with the Buu Saga. He never intended it to continue at all. A separate group decided to go on with it and ultimately created GT. Toriyama had little involvement with the project. All he did was minor character designs and that was it.
When it comes to power level and Toriyama's original vision, SS3 will canonically be the final form that a Saiyan can achieve and thus shall be the strongest.
I love my girlfriend.
i would say gohan because when he was small he had alot of ability and all he need to do now is train and he will be back number 1
SS3 yes i agree Gt is crap sorry to say but it is it sucked and the orginal levels are way higher then SS4 and stuff k and i hate when people include GT its not really a series because like Innerhell the author had really nothing to do with the series so it doesnt count in my book and i want people to stop using it on my posts please.
i say goku because no matter what he always manages to defeat his opponents, usually by getting even stronger during the fight.
Okay now that the vote is in i want you to tell me who do you think is the second strongest but dont vote for them vote for the stongest still k so i vote the second strongest is Gohan or Future Trunks is the second strongest im changing my mine from when i first started this post.

That's the finding from researchers at Purdue University, who set out to dispel the fears of some germaphobes that touching the high-tech ID devices could spread bacteria and other icky stuff.
The results: Yes, you can pick up bacteria from the devices, but no more than you would by turning a typical doorknob. And, yikes, they used real live E. coli bacteria to prove it.
"Since the use of biometric devices is rapidly expanding in public spaces, such as airports, stores and banks around the world, we felt it was important to examine whether touching these surfaces would subject users to more germs than they would be exposed to by touching objects such as pens, doorknobs and elevator buttons," said Christine R. Blomeke, a researcher and doctoral student in Purdue's Biometric Standards, Performance and Assurance Laboratory.During the test, the devices were coated with real live bacterial badness: Staphylococcus aureus, a common cause of blood and skin infections, and Escherichia coli, commonly known as E. coli, which can cause diarrhea, urinary tract infections and meningitis.
Subjects, wearing sterile gloves thankfully, touched the devices and the transfer of bacteria was measured. An identical test on a metal doorknob found that the bacteria transferred to subjects' hands was nearly identical.
"Of course, the bacteria are moved to the hand. But it's important to remember that there are naturally occurring bacteria on everyone's hands, and hundreds or even thousands of cells would have to enter the body - through a cut in the skin or from mucous tissues - to make a person sick," Blomeke said.
Still, to some people any amount of bacteria is a scary thing. For them, Blomeke offered this advice: "It's always a good idea to get in the practice of washing your hands."

New details about fight at courthouse
MILWAUKEE - Relatives of a six-year-old boy who died in a crash in Milwaukee are promising to never forget what happened.
Christopher Wade Junior was killed when a car hit him earlier this year.
His family started a fight in the courthouse this week when the man responsible was sentenced.
The driver was sentenced to one year in prison.


text: Activities: A Long Winter's Nap Concepts Time Catalyst Question Background Estivation is a reaction to diverse environmental conditions such as drought. Frogs like the African bullfrog dig deep into the soil just like during hibernation and become dormant. They then shed several layers of skin. This forms a waterproof cocoon that leaves only the nostrils exposed to the air. The frog can survive in this manner for a period as long as seven years if necessary. The frogs free themselves of the skin layers when moisture returns. In fact, the cocoon of skin might be their first meal after precipitation returns to the area. Objectives Materials Procedure 2.

There is no home theater receiver made anywhere... by anyone... that can match this unit's performance quality. With professional grade video switching and the flexibility to grow with your needs, there is basically only one choice for a home theater centerpiece that outperforms all others: the DTR-9.1U2.
This incredible component is THX Ultra2 certified and outfitted with THX Surround EX, DTS-ES, Dolby Digital EX, ProLogic II and even DTS Neo:6. It also includes an expansion port for future upgrades, an RS-232 port for control and powerful flash memory that can be updated to incorporate new features, making this the ideal soul for your home theater now... and in the future.
While other receivers offer video switching, very few can switch component video signals, and even fewer provide component video switching for three devices. The DTR-9.1U2 goes a step further to give you an option no other receiver gives you - professional grade video switching that has sufficient bandwidth - up to 50MHz - to ensure loss-free routing of images from progressive-scan DVD and HDTV sources. As remarkable as the video is, it's the DTR-9.1U2's audio performance that clearly puts it in a class all its own. The resolution is nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to the AKM 192kHz/24-bit digital to analog converters for all seven channels. These state of the art DACs, the same used by many esoteric manufacturers, also deliver astoundingly wide dynamic range - up to 120 dB - wider than any receiver we know of. And they allow you to digitally upsample conventional 44.1 kHz/48kHz signals to 96kHz/24-bit resolution. The DTR-9.1U2 also boasts exclusive linear optimum-gain volume circuitry to give you a signal-to-noise ratio that exceeds 100 dB - a refinement that helps deliver a purity of sound that other receivers simply cannot touch.Feature-for-feature, spec-for-spec, the DTR-9.1U2 truly stands alone.
Specifications and features subject to change without notice.

Our average class size is 25.
More one-on-one time with your instructor.
You won't find any lecture halls on a Baker College campus. Our average class size is 25, a small group that allows you to get to know your classmates and instructors on a first-name basis.
With fewer papers to correct and students to teach, your instructor has more time to spend with you individually. Your class has more time to dig into discussions and ideas, ask questions, and develop skills and experience. Learning is more interactive, more personal, and more fun.
That personal, collaborative approach to learning has transformed our facilities, too. Our classrooms are designed for interaction, discussion, and evaluation. And throughout every campus, you'll find labs and learning environments equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and resources that mirror actual work settings, so you can go beyond textbooks, and learn by doing.

- How big are online classes?
Our online classes are smaller than on-ground classes, and typically have 12-15 students.

You get what you pay for!…
Dorms are located in the east village, greenwich, and chelsea, which make it a very cool NYC experience.…
Dorm life is fun and very helpful the first year. Plenty of friendships are made and it's a helpful transition to living in the city. After that, it is up…
The dorms are small but the newer ones are nicer. The benefit of these dorms is the location.…
I never ate here. There are lots of good food places in the area, though.
Read MoreThe new cafeteria is very nice and the food is excelent
Read MoreThe cafeteria is very good although not centralized to all the dorms. Then again, it is New York City! Anything you want can be found.
Read MoreSeveral dining halls, but also located in the heart of lower Manhattan. Great cheap food is abundant.
Read MoreCampus dining is available, but most stick to groceries.
Read MoreThere are different types of food through out campus, there are vegan and vegetarian options as well. My favorite cafe is aver the computer lab on W 13th Street, you can make your own soups and salads.

Several of my colleagues including me a have been using this zimlet. We now migrated to ZCS 7.1 Community Edition. The Zimlet seems to not work now. Is there a way to troubleshoot and fix on my own? Where would I start looking for problems (log files, debug messages)?
I was able to fix this by replacing
var pfeed = ZmZimletBase.PROXY + AjxStringUtil.urlComponentEncode(feed);
var pfeed = ZmZimletBase.PROXY + feed
The issues is with AjxStringUtil.urlComponentEncode(feed);
Has anybody managed to get this work on Zimbra 8.0.2? I am not seeing the email getting appended by the quote.
I tried the "var pfeed" change, but it didn't work.
Need help to find out what can be done here to make it work on 8.0.3. Any possibility on getting help?

It is always a toss up whether to travel the coast in the winter or the summer. The winter storms have incredible beauty if you can weather the rain, and if it gets to be too much you put it in drive & carry on.
Heading down the Southern Coast
Trip Start
Nov 11, 2010
Trip End
Dec 18, 2010
It rained quite heavily over night but the high winds did not materialize - making for great sleeping weather! We have some of Dave and Lisa's DVDs with us, so last night we watched about 11 episodes of Will and Grace, the1998 season. What a hoot! We were glad to have some DVDs with us as we had no Internet, no cell phone, no TV...... while in this park!!!!
I've just finished reading a great series of books by Jack Whyte, a Canadian author who writes about the Arthur legend era. An absolutely great series - I started reading in May and it has taken me until now to finish - Don is about two books behind! Dave sent me south with a new series by the same author and I am really looking forward to getting into it. In the meantime I'm reading Tears of the Rain by Ruth Ann Stelfox. Ruth Ann was in Liberia for two years on missionary work and this is her diary of her experiences. I met Ruth Ann when in Welling AB. She and her daughter Bev prepared the really great meals that were taken to the fields for the harvesters.
We packed up and got on the road just as a heavy shower passed through, but soon drove into sunshine as we headed south. Much of today's coastline was separated from the ocean by a narrow band of trees so we were driving through coniferous forests for the most part.
The coastal sand dunes start at Florence and we walked the beach and explored the sand on this part of the coast in April. South of Florence, the dunes have been designated as National and State Recreational areas, mainly functioning as day use parks. We drove into a couple to get a better view of the ocean and the dunes, especially the Umpqua dunes near Winchester. The dunes there are spectacular, some rising to a couple of hundred feet. Along this part of the coast the sand dunes and the forest battle. The trees are gradually losing as they are buried under the moving mountains of sand. After checking out the dunes we headed up to the lighthouse where we had a great overview of the oyster beds behind the breakwater and of the turbulent waves crashing into the waters flowing from the mouth of the Umpqua River. This is a beautiful area and tourists and locals alike enjoy it. We shared the parking lot with a woman sitting in her car watching the ocean alternately with reading a book and ongoing other visitors. This is a favored whale watching spot so she may have been hoping for a spotting.
After lunch we headed south to Coos Bay/Charleston Area where I managed to get Don off the beaten path by suggesting there was a super warehouse of RV parts. It turned out to cater to 5th wheels and trailers but the side trip did get us out to the fishing village of Charleston and as far south along the coast as Sunset Bay. At this point the shore starts to get quite rocky - I expect to see more of this tomorrow.
We decided to call it a day at the most westerly point of Oregon - at Cape Blanco State Park near the lighthouse and overlooking Port Orford. Again a beautiful park, this one located on top of sea cliffs that look like chalk and tower 200 feet above the ocean that allow you to look down on black sand beaches. Tonight was a night for a good bottle of wine and dinner before settling in, this time with Internet but no TV and little phone reception.

Charles-Nicolas-Sigisbert Sonnini de Manoncourt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles-Nicolas-Sigisbert Sonnini de Manoncourt (1 February 1751 – 9 May 1812 in Paris) was a French naturalist. Between 1799 and 1808 he wrote 127 volumes of the Histoire naturelle. Noteworthy among these, especially for herpetologists, is Histoire naturelle des Reptiles, avec figures desinées d'après nature, in four volumes, which he wrote with Pierre André Latreille. This work includes descriptions and illustrations of many North American reptiles.

Urban Decay Body Jewelry Temporary Tattoos
Mmm Urban Decay taking a note from Chanel with the introduction of Body Jewelry Temporary Tattoos!
Are you up for a little false ink?
I gotta say after seeing this image I was convinced that I needed some Urban Decay Body Jewelry Temporary Tattoos, that looks rather stunning on doesn't it?
These last 3 to 5 days with proper care and you'll receive three sheets covered in various designs including chains, charms, pendants, flowers, stars, etc…..
The temp tats are actually hand-drawn illustrations that can be mixed and matched together and applied with water. Super easy!
They are available now at www.urbandecay.com
How do you feel about temp ink?
I can say yes considering how incredibly undecided I am about anything, real ink would pose a problem as I could never commit to anything for too long!
9/7/10 14:49 Adora:
They seem really expensive for what you get, but if there bug Ill probrebly buy them next time
9/7/10 14:55 peri:
those look like fun, might have to get me some
9/7/10 16:50 Casey:
I kind of like the Chanel ones better, although the price tag on those was crazy for temp. ink. I have enough of my own real ink, anyway.
The flower design on the bottom right is kind of nice though!
9/7/10 16:52 the Muse:
chanel ones had a more advertising feel for me casey I'm too much of a mind changer to commit to real ink so these are ideal for me
Where's your ink what do you have?!
9/7/10 21:42 Phyrra:
I love temp ink, so cute :>
9/7/10 21:55 Storm:
I'm not a fan at all! I don't mind real ink, and I get the appeal, but these are not for me.
9/8/10 12:21 Sarah:
I pretty much detest temp tattoos…waste of time and money…i have a ton of my own tho so it would be silly to add falsies lol
9/8/10 12:39 the Muse:
ha sarah pretty pointless if you have ink
9/8/10 16:16 Bonnie:
I regret my one tattoo so I am even anti-fake for myself! (Tho BF has about 6 real ones and counting…don't mind 'em on him or others, just not for me…)
9/8/10 16:20 the Muse:
bonnie I've never gotten one for that exact reason I can't decide on stuff and if I committed I'd want it removed within a day lol how come you regret it?!
9/9/10 10:06 Bonnie:
I really don't like having that much attention drawn to myself…and I got it in a place (on my upper arm) that it is not always appropriate. I have had it 'removed' but unfortunately you can still tell something is/was there. It's not like you have perfect skin that matches the rest of your skin. The tattoo itself wasn't of anything bad, but I definitely regretted it after a year or so. The tattoo removal doctor told me that many people are like what you would imagine yourself to be–that he had patients come in not an HOUR after they got their tattoo and already wanted it removed!!! He said he can't do it that quickly–you have to wait a certain amount of time.
9/9/10 10:12 the Muse:
wow bonnie. I didn't think many people had regrets tbh. I figure once you're in, you're in But it's understandable and I can relate, it's one reason I've never had it done because I'd be like that…want it off within two minutes lol
9/9/10 15:23 Bonnie:
Oh yeah. One blog that I read (not beauty-related), the girl is fully sleeved on both arms and also on both legs–pretty much everywhere. And although she's a beautiful girl with great style, she really hates and regrets all of her tattoos. Now, that makes mine seem like nothing!!
9/9/10 15:24 the Muse:
wow bonnie that blows….jeepers
9/15/10 10:51 sparklyblind:
I think the UD tat is kinda wack (correct me if I'm wrong but it looked like the set came w a temp UD logo tat & I think thats lame.) I also already have some real ink & have for yrs, I regret none of it! They all stand for important parts, points, goals in my life so I can't ever "outgrow" them. I feel confident saying that since it's been 12 years since my first one & although I do have what some may consider to be more than a few (6, although I count 2 as 1 tattoo/piece of artwork, so really to me I have 5. Those two are located on the same spot on both arms to be symmetrical & have a specific signifigance to me, too much to get into) I'm in no way a hodge podge or whatever! I always said that I'd never be like that & it's funny because nobody believes me when I tell them how many since it takes them so long to even notice the first one which is on the inside of my wrist (apparently that spot isn't as big of an attention drawer than I thought it would be!) As for temp tattoos I think they're a cute enough way to play around and maybe prepare for a real one but I saw it as a Chanel knockoff too (and I liked Chanel's better) so I'm not very excited. The girl w the feather necklace down her chest looked nice but I have to wonder what my boyfriend or whoever would think/say about using temp ink for looks like that especially since it's not marketed for Summer & bikini season. I got a few Adorn samples w my Sephora orders & haven't used them yet but was contemplating "dressing up" a tattoo I already have for about 5 minutes one night in the bathroom! I may do it, why not? It'll come right off in seconds if I hate it. I just feel like I shouldn't play around w it like that though because I see how & understand the whole "it's an addiction" thing so I don't want to start lemming for a new tattoo only because I played around w some UD or Adorn:) I'm in no way gang affiliated, btw, I just have alot of emotion in the art I do have, like, my sister who's in the Military & I have a secret tiny heart in the same place that we went & chose & got done together to stand for "sister love" and it may sound cheesy but no matter where we are on the planet or in our lives, it really meant alot having done that. I think they should've kept the Bling Rocks! Especially yet again for Holiday! They revamped the sweet, sparkle body shimmer boxes, introduced the ink, I think it would have been nice to keep that aspect (body adornment) growing, just how they have the self tanner & LE roll-on fragrance but UD does what they want, as we can see w their impulsive inclusion of MCRA in EVERY palette. Did you check out the model's super foily/reflective gold nails? I wonder if they'll have another LE nail stash this year released closer to the Holidays:) ?
