Blackjack and slot action combined in latest offering
The new Slot 21 game just launched at WinADay.com online casino is a combination of two casino favourites - slots and blackjack - the online casino operator says.
First and foremost, it's a retro, arcade-style slot machine reminiscent of the old strip in Las Vegas, but with two bonus card games built into it.
When the Red & Black scatter symbol appears on the far right reel, players have the option of playing the Red & Black Bonus Game where they can double the winnings of their last spin.
A second bonus game-within-the-game is inspired by Blackjack. By collecting Jacks, Queens, Kings and Aces on the slot machine reels players earn "21 Cash" which can then be used to play a hand of blackjack. When players draw cards that come closer to 21 than the bank's hand, without going over, their wager is doubled.
Five "crown" symbols wins the progressive jackpot which is currently over $170 000. The jackpot, which is tied to all of the slots games at WinADay.com, was last hit in March for $223 000.
WinADay.com now has 14 online 3D games: nine unique slot machines, four video poker games and one roulette game. They're all instant play, no download games.

Train, Alkmaar
2 Reviews
2 Reviews
The easiest way to get to Alkmaar is by train. You can get there from Amsterdam Central Station in about 30 minutes, or do as we did and travel straight from Schiphol. For the latter you'll need to change either at Sloterdijk, and it will take about 50 minutes. The trains are clean, frequent and punctual, and seating is arranged on two levels (which means you need to be able to carry your luggage up at least a short flight of steps). We paid 7.90 euros each way for this journey, but I found out afterwards that we could have saved 1 euro by buying the tickets at a machine rather than at the ticket window.
To get to Alkmaar from Amsterdam, the train is the easiest and fastest way. It takes about a half hour and is comfortable and cheap. Once in Alkmaar,walking is the nicest way to see the town, and in some cases the only way, as some streets are closed to traffic.

Garmin website said it's compatible and customers shared they did hold them if you read amazon question forums at bottom. It has excellent reviews

Symphony hits one out of the park
Hats off to the Corpus Christi Symphony Orchestra for a wonderful family event — Pops at the Park held at Whataburger Field. It was my father's 80th birthday that day and we had 14 people there ranging from ages 8 to 80. It was a spectacular event that everyone loved and would like to go to again.
Our little one loved watching Margaret Moore conduct the orchestra and especially loved the fireworks; she was giggling while watching them.
Our high school exchange student from China especially enjoyed the fireworks to Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture.
My husband, who doesn't particularly enjoy classical music, was captivated by the lights changing on the bridge with the music and enjoyed the pops music. I even caught him singing along with some of the songs.
He came straight from work that day and also liked going to a concert in jeans and being able to eat peanuts there.
While I loved every part of the event, my favorite parts were the Salute to the Armed Forces (I love watching everyone stand with great pride when their song was played), and when Walter Furley was at the end of narrating "Casey at the Bat" saying that he struck out and the crowd let out a deep sigh. They were paying attention!
Everyone agreed it was the best fireworks display they had ever seen and Papa said it was his best birthday party.
Special thanks to the Coastal Bend Community Foundation for their support of the event and to the other organizations that made the event possible. We hope you are able to do it again.

Educators do make a difference
I attended the "My Favorite Teacher Contest" sponsored by Barnes & Noble on Saturday, April 14. I was so impressed with the four student essays that described their favorite teachers.
Yes, Texas, we do teach reading and writing skills.
The students eloquently described the skills and behaviors of the best teachers in the nation. Experiences like this validate my decision to become an educator.

Ready for change? Then vote
I would like to make a life-changing suggestion to the 97 percent of Corpus Christians who complain about what the city is doing, and how it is doing it — STOP LETTING IT HAPPEN.
You are the sole reason these people are in the position they are in. I'll let that sink in.
If you want your potholes fixed, if you want a more diverse and dynamic city, then please make it happen.
It is the easiest thing to do: just go out and vote, get your friends to vote, have a voting party, it doesn't matter how you accomplish it but please use your power to actually change the environment around you for the better of all.
And stop sitting around complaining while doing nothing — one of us can't do it alone, but one can influence as many as they like so that things can get done.

Put an end to bullying
When is enough enough? I haven't been keeping up every day with the bullying news but it seems to be the topic often enough that our illustrious leaders (city, state and national) should take heed and start considering this assault and battery as a hate crime regardless of age and placing the blame where it belongs.
Yes, children are what we create and it begins at home. If there are consequences for the parents as well as the child, perhaps this epidemic will slow in its track.
By removing the bully from the society that he/she is trying to psychologically and physically try to dominate will not take care of the problem simply because that body is placed where it will rear its ugly head and continue the same behavior.
Maybe stronger laws need to be enacted and enforced ... keyword: enforced.

UNC Student Arrested In Granville Towers B&Es
CHAPEL HILL – The UNC Department of Public Safety arrested a male UNC student early Sunday morning for breaking and entering rooms on the second floor of Granville Towers West.
The student reportedly entered a female's room; she awoke to find him in her bed and asked him to leave. She told the police he left without a problem. He attempted to do the same in another female's room and was again asked to leave. He did so without contestation.
The suspect continued to attempt to enter rooms on the second floor of the building before UNC Police arrested him. He was charged with two counts of breaking and entering.
As of Sunday morning, he was being held at the OrangeCounty jail under a secured bond.

Transport of Internet Protocol traffic over an Ethernet–over–wavelength-division-multiplexing architecture
Journal of Optical Networking, Vol. 1, Issue 8, pp. 313-322 (2002)
Acrobat PDF (450 KB)
We present a solution for transport of Internet Protocol (IP) packets over optical networks. The protocol relies heavily on the data link and physical layer of the proposed standard 10-Gbit/s Ethernet. The architecture is able to perform optical multiplexing and forwarding of asynchronous packets such as those generated by classical Ethernet devices.

What is more, the big bang theory can boast of no quantitative predictions that have subsequently been validated by observation. The successes claimed by the theory's supporters consist of its ability to retrospectively fit observations with a steadily increasing array of adjustable parameters, just as the old Earth-centered cosmology of Ptolemy needed layer upon layer of epicycles.
Whereas Richard Feynman could say that "science is the culture of doubt", in cosmology today doubt and dissent are not tolerated, and young scientists learn to remain silent if they have something negative to say about the standard big bang model. Those who doubt the big bang fear that saying so will cost them their funding.
No Conservation of Energy The hypothetical dark energy field violates one of the best-tested laws of physics--the conservation of energy and matter, since the field produces energy at a titanic rate out of nothingness. To toss aside this basic conservation law in order to preserve the Big Bang theory is something that would never be acceptable in any other field of physics.

An opinion poll found only seven percent of Iraqis now viewed U.S. troops as "liberators," compared to 45 percent six months ago. The poll was conducted by the Iraq Center for Research and Strategic Studies in April, before pictures of soldiers abusing prisoners drove another wedge between Americans and Iraqis.

A sign poking up from the crowd saying "YAY" caught my eye. Some people had "Toto, we're not in Kansas, Welcome to Equality" signs for the Phelps folks, but the crowd had grown so large you couldn't tell if they were still there. Aaron and I looked at each other, mouths open. Who are all these people? They're not all here to get married, right? Where do we go? Are these all straight people? This is incredible! We didn't speak, but we were clearly thinking the same thing. I thought I caught a glimpse of a couple walking up the stairs before one enormous cheer, but I couldn't be sure. We edged closer to the steps, and I could suddenly see a line of cops in riot gear leading up to the main entrance. I turned to one of them and asked him if we were too late to get in for a license. "I don't know," he said. "We're just keeping this area clear. You can't stand here." ... At that point another cop walked up to people standing behind us and told them they had to clear a path. He started towards us, and Aaron grabbed me and pulled me back into the crowd. "I think we can just walk up here," I told him. "Come on!" Aaron grabbed my hand and we walked forward up the steps. Off to my side someone said, "Look, here goes someone else!" Suddenly a roar erupted all around us. Things began to move more slowly. I grabbed Aaron's hand tighter and started running forward up the steps. Everything was a blur. I lost his grip briefly as he stopped close to the entrance to accept a rose from someone in the crowd. I paused at the top of the steps, and turned to wait for him. I've been in front of some large, happy, and cheering crowds before, but only on a stage -- never with a throng pressing in from all sides, with clapping hands outstretched, cameras flashing, and a deafening roar. I stood there facing the crowd as Aaron walked towards me with a sparkle-encrusted yellow rose and a huge grin on his face. As he reached me, I put my hand around his waist and waved to the crowd. I tried to look at all the people, but my eyes couldn't focus.

"The arrogance, inconsistency, and unreliability of the administration's diplomacy have undermined American alliances, alienated friends, and emboldened our adversaries." "Nor should the intelligence community be made the scapegoat for political misjudgments. A Republican administration working with the Congress will respect the needs and quiet sacrifices of these public servants as it strengthens America's intelligence and counter-intelligence capabilities and reorients them toward the dangers of the future." "The current administration has casually sent American armed forces on dozens of missions without clear goals, realizable objectives, favorable rules of engagement, or defined exit strategies. Over the past seven years, a shrunken American military has been run ragged by a deployment tempo that has eroded its military readiness. Many units have seen their operational requirements increased four-fold, wearing out both people and equipment." "The rule of law, the very foundation for a free society, has been under assault, not only by criminals from the ground up, but also from the top down. An administration that lives by evasion, coverup, stonewalling, and duplicity has given us a totally discredited Department of Justice." "Sending our military on vague, aimless, and endless missions rapidly saps morale. Even the highest morale is eventually undermined by back-to-back deployments, poor pay, shortages of spare parts and equipment, inadequate training, and rapidly declining readiness." "Our goal for NATO is a strong political and security fellowship of independent nations in which consultations are mutually respected and defense burdens mutually shared." "Inspired by Presidents Reagan and Bush, Republicans hammered into place the framework for today's prosperity and surpluses."

Death; A minor annoyance or an invitation to play?
Dixon, D. (2008) Death; A minor annoyance or an invitation to play? In: Breaking the Magic Circle, University of Tampere, 10th-11th April, 2008.
AbstractGames involve a lot of death, it's hard to play games without encountering death in some format. But what does death mean in the context of games? This paper seeks to explore death firstly as a concept internally in games and also use various phenomenological and existential approaches to death to understand the nature of play. Is leaving a game, voluntarily or forcefully, akin to death? Can we only play games authentically when there is the possibility of real ejection from the game?

NASHVILLE -- The SEC is negotiating with three cities for the 2017 and 2018 men's basketball tournaments, and St. Louis appears to be one of them. The SEC has never taken the tournament out of the conference's original geographic footprint.
SEC Assistant Commissioner Craig Mattox said conference athletics directors authorized the league office to negotiate with three cities, which he declined to identify. The SEC made a site visit last week to St. Louis for the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament.
Atlanta, St. Louis, New Orleans, Memphis, Nashville, Tampa and Orlando submitted initial bids. St. Louis Sports Commission President Frank Viverito, who said his city remains in consideration, will be in Nashville this week. Groups representing Orlando and Tampa are expected at the SEC Tournament as well, and there could be others.
"We are eagerly awaiting a decision from the SEC," Viverito said. "We are optimistic and really would love to have the event. I think the region would really embrace it. It's at the very top of our list of events that we'd like to add."
The tournament goes to Atlanta in 2014 and returns to Nashville in 2015, 2016 and 2019. Mattox said he hopes the 2017 and 2018 sites are finalized by the end of April.
The SEC Tournament often rotates and has been held in Georgia, Tennessee, Louisiana, Kentucky, Alabama and Florida. The states of Mississippi, South Carolina and Arkansas have not been hosts.
But this is a new SEC. Missouri has one of the strongest fan bases in the conference now, and the SEC office has embraced St. Louis' attempt to get the tournament.
"St. Louis is a great city and would be a great city for our tournament," Mattox said. "They've got a great venue that's easy to work. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't do well in St. Louis."
SEC Executive Associate Commissioner Mark Womack said he doesn't think geography would hurt St. Louis' chances.
"We've been down to Tampa -- that's kind of the outer reaches of the conference," Womack said. "You look from time to time to move the tournament around a little bit. We're trying to keep it centrally located on a lot of years, which Atlanta and Nashville do for you."
Viverito said Tennessee and Kentucky fans have traveled in large numbers to St. Louis in past NCAA Tournaments. "I've made the trip back and forth to Oxford and even to Alabama," he said. "It's a reasonable drive."
The SEC prefers arenas that seat around 22,000 to 23,000 and don't want to go smaller than the 18,000 to 19,000 range, Womack said. Nashville's Bridgestone Arena capacity is listed at 18,160. The Scottrade Center in St. Louis seats about 20,000.
SEC Tournament attendance dipped to 14,039 per game last season in New Orleans. The last two tournaments in Atlanta and Nashville averaged 17,944 and 17,441, respectively. Nine of the tournament's 10 highest-attended years came before 2006.
The lowest-attended SEC Tournaments in the past 25 years: Orlando in 1990 (9,488 fans per game); Atlanta in 2008 when the venue changed due to a tornado (11,155); and Tampa in 2009 (12,016).
The Tampa tournament came in a down year for the league -- the Gators were mediocre and the SEC got only three NCAA Tournament bids -- and during a worse economy than today.
"People were really pinching pennies and not doing a whole lot of traveling," Mattox said. "It kind of fell in a bad year to not be in a centrally-located city."
St. Louis has been host for the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament for 23 consecutive years. Missouri and Illinois annually play in St. Louis and sold out this season's game.
"I think the main thing that sets us apart at this point in time is Missouri the state is just delighted to be in the SEC," Viverito said. "I think it would be great for the league to enhance its presence in the region by bringing a marquee event here."

Iscol program marks 10 years of inspiring students to serve.
Since she graduated from Cornell, Chakira Branch '08 has dedicated herself to serving inner-city youth as a volunteer in her hometown of New York City.In 2009, she was sworn, in by Mayor Michael Bloomberg as one of 193 inaugural members of New York City Civic Corps, a program to support local nonprofits and to grow the city's volunteer ranks. Branch spent a year recruiting volunteers for the Mentoring Children of Prisoners program run by Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City. She later aided in the development of Bigs United and High Impact Alliance, two new organizations committed to mentoring young people.
For Branch, her drive to serve youth started in 2007 at Cornell, when she interned with The Renaissance University for Community Education (TRUCE), an after-school program in Harlem. The experience "opened my eyes to many of the unfair disadvantages that youth have in urban communities," said Branch, who grew up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Ever since, she has been drawn to "teach youth the values of education, activism, and commitment to their community."
Branch's triumphs as a community leader are the sort oi success story Jill and Ken Iscol hoped for when they funded the Iscol Family Program for Leadership Development in Public Service in 2001. (Ken Iscol is a 1960 graduate of Cornell's School of Industrial and Labor Relations.) Based in the College of Human Ecology, the program seeks to inspire and educate Cornell students to become leaders in civic engagement through internships and annual campus visits by luminaries in public service. The Iscol Summer Internships in Public Service were initiated in 2007; to date, Branch and 45 other Cornell students have worked with community groups in underserved areas.
On Sept. 26, the Iscol program marked its 10th anniversary by welcoming as Cornell's annual Iscol Fellow Josh Tetrick '04, chief executive officer of 33needs, a microcredit: web platform that allows everyday people to invest in social enterprises around the globe. Tetrick met with students interested in social entrepreneurship and delivered a public lecture, "Connect Your Future to Change." While on campus, Jill Iscol shared information about her new book, Hearts on Fire: Twelve Stories of Today's Visionaries Igniting Idealism into Action, which was inspired in part by her interactions with Iscol fellows and students.
John Eckenrode, the co-director of the Iscol program, credited the Iscols for supporting a program that "builds on a strong tradition of public service at the university and among our students."
Eckenrode, professor of human development and director of the Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research, added, "Our students learn that service goes far beyond volunteering--that to build and sustain a successful public service program calls on all the talent, vision, and energy that leads to success in any other profession. We hope that the small seeds sown with this program will grow in many vigorous and exciting ways once our students leave Cornell."
Among the notable speakers in the annual lecture series have been Michelle Rhee '92, former chancellor of Washington, D.C, public schools; Bill Shore, founder of Share Our Strength; Ken Grouf '93, founder and former co-executive director of City Year New York; and Sara Horowitz '84, founder of Working Today--Freelancers Union.

Comments about Go SMiLE On the Go Teeth Whitening Pen Duo ($38 value), 1 ea:
I have been using this for a week now and I think I would have to use this for 5 months to see results. I'm going back to the strips. You see the difference in a couple of days. I think you see the differnce in strips because the plastic film keeps it on your teeth. The saliva wipes the pens whitening away. I wouldn't buy if you want fast results. Strips or professional use is what I recommend.

Musings of the Day: If I Had a Millionaire Dollars or $10,000
Morning loves!
Actually it's not morning anymore right? My god, the hours are all running into each other this crazy busy day!
I got kinda a fun idea for today's Musings of the Day when I seen Total Beauty is offering a $10,000 Shopping Spree at Sephora. How insane is that?! What could you possibly buy at Sephora with all that money!? It's a rather absurd amount…..
But than….it hit me…I bet I've spent that much in at least 2-3 years!!!!!!!!!!! My god! Ouchie!
But hey this is money for nothing.
If you wanna enter you can head to Total Beauty and enter for a chance to win by writing product reviews on their site. Total Beauty kinda mimics Makeup Alley and allows everyday users to say their piece on makeup, skincare, and more….
You also get an extra chance to win by signing up for their newsletter. The contest ends as of December 31st, 2009 so hurry! The more you review the better the chances are you'll win $10k to splurge on a Sephora haul!
And now…..Musings of the Day….what would you buy with $10,000 at Sephora!? Holy cow, I don't even have an answer for this one!!!!!!
I'd probably just sit there and haul entire lines of stuff from Urban Decay, Guerlain, YSL, Etc…..Seriously with 10k we could just OWN everything in the store or almost everything. I'd probably share it with friends too.
What do you think?
What would you haul with $10,000 at Sephora?
Share it!
11/16/09 12:48 Marley:
Oh my gosh, I would first buy every woman in my family everything they wanted. Then I'd get my husband, father, and cousin enough of their skincare regimens to last for a few years. Then I'd buy something for everyone I work with, and I'd probably also get some great stuff for the incoming freshmen at my alma mater who are coming from overseas and studying on scholarship. I'd also get something for my several "real" friends from MUA, and buy up a bunch of the "sample" kits that Sephora has been selling, and give them to our local women's shelter. After that, if I had anything left over, I'd load up on my skincare, and then see if there were any fun treats I'd like
11/16/09 12:53 the Muse:

In a unanimous decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled this week in Riley v. California that police generally may not conduct a warrantless search of digital data stored on the cell phone of someone who has been arrested. The ruling likely will have implications beyond the context of arrest-related searches, and it should serve as a reminder to employers that unfettered access to data on mobile devices used by their employees will likely infringe upon employees' reasonable privacy expectations, regardless of whether such devices are company-provided.
The question before the Court was whether police searches of digital data stored on the cell phones of individuals who had been arrested were reasonable searches "incident to a lawful arrest" and therefore excepted from the Fourth Amendment's warrant requirement. The Court heard oral argument in April of this year in two cases on the issue, but issued a single opinion.
In the first case, Riley v. California, Petitioner David Riley was arrested on weapons charges; a police officer searched Mr. Riley and seized a smartphone from his pocket.
The smartphone contained photographs and videos, which officers used to connect and charge Mr. Riley with an earlier shooting. In the second case, United States v. Wurie, Respondent Brima Wurie was arrested after he was observed making an apparent drug sale; during a search of his person, officers seized two cell phones, including a flip phone containing substantial call log data. Officers used this data to locate Mr. Wurie's home, where, after executing a search warrant, they found evidence sufficient to charge him with drug and weapons offenses.
A substantial portion of the Court's opinion is devoted to discussing how modern cell phones—typically, smartphones—differ from physical objects. The Court discussed modern cell phones' capacity to store large amounts of private data over long time periods, in the form of text, pictures, videos, metadata, mobile application data, and other data. Such data, Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., wrote, may be used to reconstruct "[t]he sum of an individual's private life."
A cell phone search, the Court reasoned, therefore "implicates substantially greater individual privacy interests than a brief physical search." The Court found that in the context of modern cell phones, individual privacy interests generally outweigh the government's interest in safety and preservation of evidence.
The Riley decision represents a victory for advocates of individual privacy rights, and signals the need to carefully consider the bounds for accessing private data in a digital age. In light of the decision, employers that permit the use of employee-owned devices for work purposes—including cell phones, tablets, and laptops—should make sure they have a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) or mobile device policy in place that is understandable and carefully calibrated to strike a balance between individual privacy interests and the employer's interests.

Lil Wayne from getting some work done. On the eve of his Young Money label mate Drake releasing his highly anticipated debut Thank Me Later (out now), Wayne decided that he wanted to add a verse to "Light Up." The track already features Jay-Z schooling Drizzy on what it's like to live in the spotlight. The obvious problem for Weezy was how he would record his verse without being able lay his vocals down in a studio. The answer was simple: Wayne took a day to gather his thoughts and rhymes, then called his crew back to have his verse recorded over the phone. Last week Wayne's verse leaked online without the beat or appearances from Drake and Jay. This morning Drake's engineer, 40, posted the finished product on their blog.
Being cooped in a Rikers Island cell won't stop"I'm in my cell, reading fan mail/Wish I was Amsterdam sipping Amstel," Wayne raps. "Behind bars, but the bars don't stop/Recording over the phones/I hope the call don't drop. Drizzy got the ball/I know the ball won't drop/And I pray none of my kids ever want to be cops."
The barely audible verse is lyrically a solid offering from Wayne. But without the polishing and mastering only a studio can provide, I doubt I'll listen to this track ever again. Have you heard it yet? Let us know what you think of it.

Popular Culture and Philosophy #6: Baseball and Philosophyby Eric Bronson
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Baseball and Philosophy brings together two high-powered pastimes: the sport of baseball and the academic discipline of philosophy. Eric Bronson asked eighteen young professors to provide their profound analysis of some aspect of baseball. The result offers surprisingly deep insights into this most American of games. The contributors include many of the leading voices in the burgeoning new field of philosophy of sport, plus a few other talented philosophers with a personal interest in baseball. A few of the contributors are also drawn from academic areas outside philosophy: statistics, law, and history. This volume gives the thoughtful baseball fan substancial material to think more deeply about. What moral issues are raised by the Intentional Walk? Do teams sometimes benefit from the self-interested behavior of their individual members? How can Zen be applied to hitting? Is it ethical to employ deception in sports? Can a game be defined by its written rules or are there also other constraints? What can the U.S. Supreme Court learn from umpiring? Why should baseball be the only industry exempt from antitrust laws? What part does luck play in any game of skill? Book News Annotation:Thirty-two academics and philosophers, most from the U.S., contribute 29 essays exploring philosophical questions about the whos, whats, and whys of baseball which demonstrate the game's connections to larger issues of truth, justice, American identity, and human fulfillment. This text will appeal to hardcore baseball fans who enjoy analyzing the sport from a "bigger picture" perspective, as well as philosophy students and practitioners interested in the philosophical aspects of sports/popular culture.
Annotation �2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Synopsis:William Irwin has taken philosophy out of the academy and put it on the bestseller list. The series has been featured in The New York Times and People, and on NPR's All Things Considered. Now philosophy finds its real home — in the dugout. In Baseball and Philosophy, 18 professors — some from the new field devoted to the philosophy of sport, others unapologetic baseball fans — explore the sport's deeper aspects. How can Zen be applied to hitting? Do you play to win or play by the rules? Is it ethical to employ deception in sports? Can a game be defined by its written rules or are there also other constraints? What can the U.S. Supreme Court learn from umpiring? Why should baseball be the only industry exempt from antitrust laws? These are some of the questions addressed in this witty, provocative blend of two major American pastimes: watching baseball and thinking about it. Synopsis:In this exploration of two major American pastimes (watching baseball and thinking about it), 18 professors--some from the new field devoted to the philosophy of sport, others unapologetic baseball fans--explore the sport's deeper aspects.

The life of an artist family!
We're always making something around here!Seriously, anything that is solid color is fair game for use as a canvas. From the mailbox to shoes to the wall or scraps of wood. It's how we've always been! This week, Patrick is making paintings for a customer and he makes his own frames as well. But instead of regular wood, he uses yardsticks!
As for me, I collect all kinds of knickknacks and use them in my shrines and collage art.
