As summer approaches, Mistletoe State Park officials are showcasing their park to local residents through a special weekend of events Friday and Saturday.
"The kick-off for the weekend will take place Friday evening in the campground with guitar picking around the campfire," said park Program Assistant Brenda Bettross. "Frank Locklear will entertain guests around the campfire with his guitar and music."
Park guests can also enjoy an old-fashioned hayride Friday evening.
This spring, the bloom has been spectacular.
I don't know if the plants are blooming more, or if I am looking for them more often. When I see a plant in bloom, my first thought is whether honey bees feed on that flower. If these plants look great in the garden and smell great, then they could have a place in the garden.
I have a plant in my landscape that someone gave me. It was not the prettiest of shrubs. It was just foliage.
The next spring was a different story. The plant bloomed. It was covered with white flowers that smelled great.
The following accounts were taken from reports from The Columbia County Sheriff's Office. Additional reports are available at www.columbiacountyso.org:
Man found on road median
A man who police found unconscious on a road median Tuesday was released from an area hospital.
A deputy found a 62-year-old man lying in the center median of Jimmie Dyess Parkway at Park West Drive just after midnight. The man supposedly was not breathing and he had abrasions on his right knee and right arm.

Two Columbia County convenience store clerks were cited for selling alcohol to a minor Thursday.
The Columbia County Sheriff's Office sent an underage deputy into 10 businesses licensed to sell alcohol during regular compliance checks Thursday to ensure stores aren't selling alcohol to minors, according to sheriff's Capt. Steve Morris.
Twitter @DonnieFetter
An Evans man told authorities Thursday that he received an early-morning visit from a man claiming to be a police officer.
The Shawns Way resident said a knock at the door woke him about 1 a.m. When he answered, a white male wearing khaki pants and stripped shirt asked for Keith.
After the resident said no one named Keith lived there, the man told him he was a police officer. That's when he said he noticed his visitor had a holstered handgun strapped to his belt.
A Greenbrier High School student went before the school system hearing officer on March 27, 2012, for an accumulation of offenses and was expelled for the remainder of the school year with the option to attend the Columbia County Alternative School.
A Lakeside Middle School special needs pupil went before the school system hearing officer on March 27, 2012, for an accumulation of offenses and was remanded to the Individualized Education Plan Committee for punishment.
Columbia County planning commissioners on Thursday approved bringing a full-service car dealership to a busy street corner in Evans.
A request to rezone 4.5 acres at Washington and Gibbs roads from neighborhood commercial to general commercial was approved 4-0 by the commission. Board member Darryl James was absent.
Land owners proposed putting a showroom, sales facility and a service center on the property, which backs up to two neighborhoods.
It's going to be strange for Columbia County sheriff's Deputy Scott Zimmerman to go to work without his trusted partner, canine officer Boz, after nearly six years together.
Boz, an 8-year-old Belgian malinois, died unexpectedly from bloat early Tuesday while in his kennel at Zimmerman's home. Bloat is a sudden and often fatal build-up of gas in the stomach.
"That's going to be tough," Zimmerman said. "I spent more time with him than I did anybody else, wife and kid combined."
Grovetown Department of Public Safety Director Al Robinson applied for early retirement Tuesday in the midst of an external investigation city officials recently launched into his department.
Robinson, who has been with the department since 1988, applied for early retirement, Mayor George James said.
Robinson's resignation letter said he was retiring for "personal reasons," James said.
"He's quit. He's retiring," James said. "He said he's ready to move on and wanted to put in for his retirement."
A man that police found unconscious on a road median Tuesday died at an area hospital.
A deputy found 62-year-old Eddie Reville, laying in the center median of Jimmie Dyess Parkway at Park West Drive just after midnight. Reville was not breathing and he had abrasions on his right knee and right arm.
He was transported to Doctors Hospital, where he later died in the Intensive Care Unit, according to a hospital spokeswoman.

Hi has any1 ever tried butter buds instead of butter but u can only use them in hot food and they only 5 cals per sachet and does any1 have any new ideas what to use them in ? X
Jacket potatos!!!
Jacket potatoes & mash is the best thing
They are only 0.5 syns a sachet x
The Slimming Kitchen Food/Weight Loss diary
Extra Easy SP Plan if anyone wants to check it out
Where are butter buds in a supermarket? I'd never heard of them before SW.
They are only available from Lakeland either in store or online
Butter Buds® - Lakeland, the home of creative kitchenware
They were £3.99 for 40 sachets but I notice they have increased lately.
Use them in jackets, or especially to mash spuds for low-syn buttery goodness
I love them as it goes, but others hate them! - I also add to scrambled egg for the buttery taste.
Anyone wanting to try before they buy can so by ordering a small sample on Ebay - just do a search on there.
Half a syn - much better than trying to calculate half a syn's worth of butter lol
Excuse my ignorance but what are butter buds?
As I mentioned, some people can't stand them, they are very, erm, buttery, but that's the idea lol. I have usually got syns to spare and with jackets, or mash, I just add them until I think it's Lurpak!
It works best with wet/moist food as this hydrates the powder.
Are they that sort of funny fake butter taste like what buttery frylight smells like? I do rather enjoy that flavour xxxx
No - nothing like the frylight stuff (yeuch)

Intel is bringing Thunderbolt to PCs in April 2012
Intel have reportedly notified their partners that they will "fully release" Thunderbolt technology in April of next year. Intel are said to be preparing to launch Thunderbolt-supported motherboards, notebooks and desktop PCs at that time.
Intel and Apple originally partnered on Thunderbolt which became a standard across Apple's MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac mini and iMac lines. The cost of Thunderbolt technology is said to drop in the second half of 2012, which will allow for much more market penetration.
Apple may offer Thunderbolt-equipped goods, but the first Thunderbolt products have been limited to the relatively high-end market. Widespread adoption of Thunderbolt should help accessory makers for not just the PC, but the Mac market. Intel have always said that they see USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt as complementary technologies and have plans to support both in their motherboards in 2012.

If you're on another carrier and would like higher speeds thanks to Telstra's world-class Next-G network, as well as more coverage, then definitely check this deal out! Be quick as its for the first 15,000 new customers only.
Red Bull Mobile has wings, goes Unlimited with plans
Red Bull Mobile is set to strap onto Vodafone's network and offer some very nice pricing deals soon with all-you-can eat models for its main access plans. Each Red Bull Access plan includes unlimited calls to Australian mobile and landline numbers as well as unlimited texts. Most surprisingly, it also has unlimited 1300 and 1800 number calls. Voicemail access is free and every recharge includes a hefty amount of data.
A $10 recharge gets 7 days of access and included 750MB. $20 gets 15 days and 1.5GB, $39 runs for 30 days and includes 4GB, $75 goes for 60 days and includes 8GB of data. For $365, you get 365 days of access plus 5GB of data each month. International calls and texts are bolt-ons, at $15 or $25 plans which remain available until your main credit expires. Red Bull Mobile are also offering the HTC Cha Cha Android-based phone for $239 outright which is $60 cheaper than buying it directly through Vodafone.
T&C is a bit nasty though, data usage is calculated in 250KB increments (!!) and the connection "must not be used on peer-to-peer file sharing services".

USB 3.0 to provide up to 100 watts of power, capable of driving monitors, notebooks
The next USB 3.0 specification is set to deliver something pretty amazing, 100w of power to devices. What this will allow is much more power to devices that are demanding of power without additional power through USB ports or stand-alone power. The USB 3.0 Promoter Group announced that the new standard would allow USB 3.0 ports to power and charge devices such as notebook PCs and would remain backwards compatible with USB 2.0 devices.
Currently, USB 3.0 can deliver speeds of up to 5Gb/sec to compatible products and also maintain currents and voltages up to 900mA at 5V for a maximum power output of just 4.5W. This was roughly double the maximum power output of USB 3.0 ports. The new USB 3.0 spec is more than twenty times its old power input and output and should set the industry on fire, allowing hungrier, more power-sucking products such as monitors, desk lamps and even notebook PCs to power from a single USB 3.0 port.
This would help in more ways than one, it would create an entire new market of products as well as clean up your desk and the tangle of cables leading to the power sockets on your wall. The USB 3.0 Promoter Group says that the new standard will be ready for industry evaluation at the end of 2011 and is set for release to manufacturers in early 2012.
SATA-IO announce SATA Express, capable of 16Gb/sec
With SATA 6Gbps not fast enough to keep up with todays SSDs, the Serial ATA International Organization had to come up with something, and quick. SATA-IO have just announced the development of a new standard that combines SATA software infrastructure with the PCI Express interface. The new standard will be called "SATA Express," and will allow manufacturers to create devices that can access the bandwidth of the PCIe slots whilst remaining compatible with existing SATA applications.
The combination of the technologies will provide 8Gb/s and 16Gb/s (one lane via PCIe 2.0 or two via PCIe 3.0) - which is a decent increase over SATA 3.0's single-channel throughput of 6Gb/s. SATA-IO is still concerned certain high-end consumer and enterprise configurations could saturate the existing 6Gb/s interface.

ZOTAC increases multi-display possibilities with new DP to dual HDMI adapters
In a time when multi-monitor setups are more popular than ever before, ZOTAC is jumping onboard in making it easier for people to set up a multi-display output configuration that was previously not possible.
These DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort to dual HDMI adapters are the first of their kind, allowing for example a single DisplayPort output on a notebook to be converted into two HDMI outputs. However, due to bandwidth limitations of the older DisplayPort 1.1a or earlier revsion, the maximum resolution possible from each of the two HDMI outputs is 1920x1080.

Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cables, illegal - soon to be taken off shelves
Meanwhile, all sorts of drugs are somehow imported into the [super secure] borders of most countries (like the US for example), yet a little 'ol cable like the Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cables have been deemed by HDMI org to be illegal. HDMI org are the committee that oversees the HDMI specification, saying such wires are illegal and could soon disappear from stores.
HDMI org claim that any cable with a male Mini DisplayPort connector on one side and a male HDMI connector on the opposite side is unlicensed and shouldn't be sold on store shelves. HDMI org did back up its claims with a few lines from the HDMI specification, one line says that a HDMI cable consists of only HDMI connectors, nothing else is permitted.

Live in Kansas? Good. Because low-speed broadband is going bye-bye
Google last year announced a new project: to provide a community with Internet access more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have today. Insane, right? Well, they're following through with that wish. Google, after going through 1, 100 requests from cities around America chosen Kansas City, Kansas as the city to be upgraded.
Google will be working closely with local organizations, businesses and universities to bring next-generation web experience to the community. Obviously over the last decade, the massive increases in required bandwidth have changed - now more and more people are using more and more high-end services like streaming online video, video conferencing, etc.

Apple to announce new high-speed interconnect, Light Peak, is that you?
Rumor has it that Apple are set to use the new connector technology on their upcoming MacBook Pro update which is rumored to happen on February 24. Even if the MacBook Pro refresh doesn't include Light Peak, Apple are expected to use the technology in the future - but most likely under a different name.
Intel themselves have said that the first Light Peak products should pop up in the first half of 2011. If Apple have included it on their upcoming refresh of the MacBook Pro it would be a huge coup - as it's faster than USB 3.0, being capable of 10 gigabits per second in both directions, simultaneously.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C., Oct. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Pharmaceutical and biotech companies reach much greater and sustained product success when they ensure strong partnerships between R&D and marketing, balancing therapeutic innovation with commercial focus in all stages of product development.
It requires companies to break down the walls that have traditionally separated R&D from marketing and instead leverage the strengths of both talented medical researchers and skillful marketers.
Best Practices LLC's benchmarking report, "Best Practices in Global Pharmaceutical Launches," outlines just what commercially focused R&D looks like.
Analysts harvested survey data and qualitative best practices from informed executives at elite pharmaceutical companies, including Merck, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Novartis. The report includes over 180 metrics, 100 best practices and 20 company narratives on critical pre and post launch topics, including:
* Marketing Launch Strategy and Structure
* Marketing Investment and Staffing
* Cross-Functional Launch Team Composition and Management
* Thought Leader Development
* Sales Force Support and Compensation Management
* Market Research
* Marketing Activities
* Life Cycle Management
For more information, sample practices and graphics from this report, download a complimentary excerpt at http://www3.best-in-class.com/rr864.htm.
Example best practices from the report include:

Your psp needs to be hacked to apply patches. Usually a patch can be applied with a program that updates the files on the iso, or you can get lucky and find an iso of the game that is already patched. Bottom line is that your psp needs to be hacked in order to do so.
--- My Modus Operandi is Amalgam.
Some translation patches are UMD friendly like the ones from God Eater and Project Diva Extend where they are seplugins type so you won't have to "edit" your ISO/CSO...
I'm not sure if it'll be the same for this game though but most likely it won't be....
Video games ruined my life.
Good thing I have two extra lives. XD

Well dang... How do I hack my PSP?
There are some tutorials on youtube, or you can google it. We can't post such information on gamefaqs - it's not against the rules to mention CFW anymore, but telling people how to install it still isn't allowed
If the police operated like GameFAQs mods, they'd show up at a bank robbery and shoot the civilian who says 'Oh my god they're robbing the bank!' - Miasthmatic
So wait, I am kinda confused.
When the English patch is released, will it be released as an ISO, or something to add on to the ISO of the game?
It ain't easy being cheesy
You need to purchase a hacksaw.
Then you apply the hacksaw to the PSP (you might need to wriggle it around a little).
Congratulations, your PSP is now hacked. =)
Why of course I like pie!

So wait, I am kinda confused.
it might be the latter. as they mentioned using umdgen.
it would also be convenient that way, since i'd hate to spend time downloading a whole game i already have XD although do expect some "strict" requirements such as "your ISO file size must be exactly 9,765,432 KB" for this patch to work

I'd rather just download a already made file. easier for me, then trying to figure how to patch it myself. I tried with the v.01 digimon patch....Wouldn't work. Had to find a already patched one, and run it with UMDGen to get it to play....So I'd rather download it already patched.

What type of literary devices are used in The Catcher in the Rye and what makes them effective?
4 Answers | Add Yours
The first literary device Salinger uses in "Catcher in the Rye" is allusion. Allusion is a reference to a previous literary work or historical event. In this case, the title of the book is an allusion to a Robert Burns poem and the line, "If a body meet a body comin' through the rye. " Holden changes the words to "If a body catch a body comin' though the rye. Eventually the meaning of this line is revealed as Holden's dream of being a 'catcher in the rye" who can save children from the disillusionment of growing up. This reveals one of the major themes of the novel. The technique the author uses for narrating the book is called "stream of consciousness." What we read is not a straightforward chronology of events but a retelling of the events in the order Holden's meandering mind remembers them. This allows the author to reveal how childish Holden is at times and his unwillingness to grow up even though Holden is unaware of this himself. The book is also full of symbolism.One of the main symbols is Holden's red hunting hat which symbolizes Holden's isolation from other people and his search for something, besides Phoebe, which is meaningful in his life. Ducks are a symbol for the homeless condition of Holden. They are evicted by the cold and Holden is "evicted" by the coldness of his family. All of the symbols point to the theme of an insecure young man desperately fighting maturity and the disillusionment that often comes with it.
A couple of other great symbols point to the theme of the difficulty of growing up, or Holden's conflicting desire to want to grow up but not to want to grow up.
Holden enjoys the Museum of Natural History. He makes his way through the park to see if Phoebe is there However, when he gets there, he doesn't go in because he's afraid something might have changed. He's not as accepting of the idea of change as he might like to think he is. It also makes his reflect on his changing nature--he muses that the museum wouldn't change, you'd change. The museum wouldn't be different, but he would be different. He also doesn't like the idea that Phoebe would be different each time she went there, in effect reflecting on her growing up. He doesn't want anyone he loves to grow up and become phony, as he feels all adults are.
The carousel at the end of the novel is a symbol of stability as well. It goes around and around, never changing, never deviating and playing the same songs. However, it's important that Phoebe, who is still a child, goes on the ride, but Holden, who's trying to grow up and accept these changes, doesn't. He watches Phoebe try to grab the golden ring in the middle, and accepts that, just like he was able to, kids need to grow up and make their own mistakes and learn from them.
There are various symbols and motifs in The Catcher in the Rye. For example: ducks, red hunting hat, blood, and death. The symbols are so effective and important because:
Rather, the subtle structure and crucial episodes and symbols demand that the novel be evaluated as a work of literary art. Within the complex history of modern literature, Holden Caulfield is one of many rebels. This literature of protest against society often purposefully satirizes conventional values. If it offends readers, forces them to look at reality from what the critic Kenneth Burke has called a "perspective by incongruity," it does so to disturb and shock the audience to look again at the world. The Catcher in the Rye dramatizes how easily modern man, in Holden's eyes at least, accepts a vulgar environment characterized by graffiti, urban decay, fake behavior, and a culture that glorifies the trivial while remaining insensitive to human needs.
There are several symbolism in the book the catcher in the rye, such as the red hunting hat, the museum of natural history, the ducks in central park, mummies, the little Shirley beans record, James castle, Phoebe's notebook, and the carousel. These symbols are effective because they all have a deeper meaning behind them and reveal who Holden really is. They provide us an indirect characterization.

EveryCarListed.Com Offers Largest Free Auto Listings Service on Web
TYLER, Texas, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ — This week marks the launch of a consumer Web site designed to have the most comprehensive listing of new and used vehicles for sale in America. By listing all dealer inventories at a basic service level for free and allowing all "For Sale by Owner" individual listings to be placed for free, EveryCarListed.com(TM) has created the ultimate online marketplace for vehicles.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080805/LATU550LOGO)
"EveryCarListed.com will become the premier destination for the nation's used vehicle shoppers," according to the company's Chief Executive Officer Darrell Campbell. "Because of agreements with Original Equipment Manufacturers like GM, Ford, Chrysler and Dodge, we can provide consumers with every new and used vehicle made by those companies." With additional vehicles being listed by dealers and individuals, EveryCarListed.com will soon be the leader in online auto sales.
Shoppers can search locally or nationwide on the site using 12 search categories including make/model/year, price, mileage, fuel economy and other features. A value graph gives vehicle comparisons by mileage and price, and the map view indicates where each desired vehicle is located. Listings on the site are updated daily, so when an individual or dealer lists a vehicle or inventory changes at the dealership, each vehicle entering or leaving the marketplace is posted to the EveryCarListed.com site. Shoppers can also search for vehicles using mobile applications.
The Internet outpaces all other traditional media in supplying information to auto buyers, and EveryCarListed.com benefits consumers by responding to the growing number of online vehicle shoppers. It benefits individuals by offered a broadly-viewed free site on which to advertise, and it benefits dealers by listing all inventories for free with the Bronze basic listing, or at one low monthly price through the optional Silver and Gold listings programs.
"Our business plan follows the Yellow Page industry model of all basic listings for free," states Campbell. "The basic service level will always be free. Dealers who upgrade to Silver or Gold listings can offer unique content to shoppers. There are eight photos per vehicle in the Silver Program, and 32 photos per vehicle in the Gold program along with a unique video walk-around that lets shoppers see the vehicle's interior and exterior."
Campbell said consumers will be directed to EveryCarListed.com in the Verizon(R) Yellow Pages directories, thanks to collaboration with Idearc Media, publishers of the Verizon Yellow Pages and home to Superpages.com. Digital Motorworks, Inc. (DMi), an independent subsidiary of ADP Dealer Services Group based in Austin, TX provides vehicle data management, including vehicle photos and videos, for the site.

625 SXC new 18L tank/seat install

I installed my 18L monster gas tank on my '04 KTM 625 SXC. Fit's great, works with the LC4 KTM radiator fan and the comfort seat is, well, comfy. Filled to the brim it holds 5.2 gallons, which is more like 20L rather than the advertised 18L capacity. There is a bit of a gap where the seat meats the bodywork at the rear of the seat, but otherwise everything is perfect.
I've got the orange "KTM LC4" stickers that go on the tank, but I'm not sure I want to put them on. I may leave the tank plain and swap out the orange fenders and side panels for black and do a total black out bike. Or I could put on the silver fenders/side panels... Or, maybe I'll just leave it be and go get it all muddy and the colors won't matter ;) Ride On!
I've done the same thing with my SXC, but I've had the seat raised 30mm to get rid of the horsey saddle feel. I'm 6' 2'' so I can still touch the ground comfortably. It has pulled the seat base up a touch at the rear, but is sure is comfortable.
Maybe even a bit too comfortable, as I find myself sitting more, when I should be standing. I'll just have to remind myself to get more aggressive instead of lounging!
I got a set of original SXC tank decals and they go on nice with a little help from the wife's hair dryer. Decals have lasted 2 or 3 big rides so far. I did have some concerns as to their longevity seeing as they are not protected by the shrouds, but they're OK so far.

Although I agree with the message, I do not agree with the vandalism.
Someone paid for that. It does not belong to the person that ruined it. If you want to send that message then buy your own sign.
This needs wayy more likes/shares. HOLY CRAP, as Peter Griffin once said.
Just wanted to clarify that the ordinance does not allow 2 goats per resident but 2 goats per RESIDENCE. Female goats or neutered males under 100 lbs at maturity are now legal within city limits unless your HOA prohibits it. If you own goats then you can only have a total of 4 licensed pets on your property so if you have 3 dogs and a cat you can't legally own goats too. If you do not have goats then the total is 8 licensed pets per property. Chickens don't count in that total since they aren't licensed in Colorado Springs.
An absolute fascinating story Matthew... and thank you for all the photos and resource links you've added throughout the csindy.com site and csindystories.com site on this project!! Great job to your whole team involved.

Hey that's me!
Far more likely there is a legal question surrounding this piece of juicy gossip that so many are so anxious to sling around. Perhaps the campaign manager has threatened a lawsuit and the charges cannot be substantiated. It is the duty of the Independent to prevent libel, not to promote it.
It is dysfunctional, almost as dysfunctional as the moderation on this site. I wonder why it is that when the campaign manager of Bill Elder gets called out for sleeping with her husbands subordinate, she or whoever on his campaign can have every story blocked from comments. Did it "hit a nerve"? Or is it that someone like the reporter or editor is an Elder supporter? I find it suspicious that the Indy has no problems with people getting slammed on this site, day in and day out, but now you are silencing the drama that you started?
Very strange and questionable if you ask me. Right after the very person who was responsible for the slanderous attacks on the current office was called out, on her nasty secrets, the comments are blocked. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that someone is not playing fair.
Sometimes you have to slurp to get the full experience.
May I ask what this is?
Beautiful pic Matt! LOVE the colors and composition.
Since Monsanto is nowhere to be found in Colorado, I guess the protesters just wanted to bitch about something/anything.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Sunday services are cancelled at a west Charlotte church after 15 people fell ill and six were taken to the hospital after a carbon monoxide leak.
Charlotte Fire Department Battalion Chief Dale Brown said the between 16 and 18 people had been in Shiloh Baptist Church's main sanctuary on Greenland Avenue for about 45 minutes when they felt sick and called for help.
The church is located in the Camp Greene neighborhood, a block from Wilkinson Blvd.
Batt. Chief Brown said when the first firefighters arrived at the church, they evacuated church members and tested for carbon monoxide.
Their meters read the CO level as 1,000 parts per million -- the term used to measure gases in the air. A carbon monoxide detector will alarm at just 35 ppm, considered the highest safe level for a few hours' exposure.
That means get out because it's getting to the point you don't need to be there, said firefighter Darin McIntosh of the 35 ppm level.
The church did not have carbon monoxide detectors, said Brown.
Mecklenburg County requires the detectors in homes -- houses, apartments, townhomes, and condominiums and daycares, but not in churches. A new state law requires them in hotels.
Five of the six church members taken to local hospitals had potentially life-threatening injuries, according to MEDIC.
By late Saturday afternoon, Associate Minister Joseph Talley said one person had been released and the other five were being processed for release.
I'm a long time member. I grew up in this church, said Talley as he prepared to visit church members in the hospital. Everybody who was in there, I've known them ever since they were small -- they're my peers or contemporaries.
One church member told NBC Charlotte the church's furnace had just been repaired and certified for use within the past year.
All expressed relief that the carbon monoxide scare didn't happen Sunday morning when the church was full, and could have affected more people.
Firefighters spent more than three hours airing out the church to remove dangerous levels of carbon monoxide, and church leaders canceled Sunday services.
A mechanical contractor visited the church Saturday afternoon to check the furnace.
Brown reminded homeowners how to prevent close calls like this one.
Have your systems checked and make sure they're working properly, he said, and install carbon monoxide detectors.

Ferrari Dino Concept
The 2007 Ferrari Dino concept created independently from Ferrari by Ugur Sahin is intended to be an entry level Ferrari for the 21st Century.
The goal was to create a car that felt stylish, modern, dynamic and organic while staying true to the original design language of the Ferrari Dino and Ferrari brand in general.
The main characteristic of the 2007 Dino concept is the way it looks similar to the original Dino. With very round styling elements around the wheel arches and its cockpit, it looks retro and modern at the same time. With the right proportions combined, the car looks very dynamic and stylish. It stays true to its original with the design of the rear and the front being rounded and avoiding the hard edges as much as possible. Also the rear window opening is a striking feature originating from the original Ferrari car.

Beautiful, Mysterious "Antea" at the Frick
Friday, March 07, 2008
The beautiful and mysterious "Antea" was painted in the early 1530s by Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola, known as Parmigianino (1503–1540). The painting is considered a masterpiece, but little is known about it – including who Antea was. The exhibit "Parmigianino's Antea: A Beautiful Artifice" is on display at the Frick Collection (1 East 70th Street) through April 27, 2008. Colin Bailey is curator at the Frick.

Angelo Rizzoli
This article may be expanded with text translated from the corresponding article in Italian. (November 2011) Click [show] for important translation instructions.
Angelo Rizzoli (31 October 1889, Milan – 24 September 1970) was an Italian publisher and film producer.
Early life[edit]
Orphaned at a young age and raised in poverty, Rizzoli rose to prosperity. He apprenticed in the printer trade and later became an entrepreneur in his twenties.[1]
In 1927, Rizzoli founded company A. Rizzoli & Co. (later RCS MediaGroup). In 1927 Rizzoli acquired Novella magazine,[2] a bi-weekly primarily for women that reached a circulation of 130,000, from Mondadori an independent publisher who specialized in books and magazines.[3] After his initial purchase, he added several new publications including Annabella, Bertoldo, Candido, Omnibus, and Oggi e L'Europeo.[4] In 1949 he began publishing books including both classics and popular novels. He purchased Cartiera di Lama di Reno in 1954, the foundation for what would become an Italian publishing empire.[5] His operations were moved in 1960 to a complex on Via Civitavecchia in Milan. He was amongst the first producers of daily newspapers within the relatively newly established nation[6][7] of Italy.[3]
Active in film, he produced Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita (1960) and 8½ (1963), as well as French films such as Une Parisienne (1957). In 1964 Rizzoli opened the original Rizzoli International Bookstore[8] in New York at 712 Fifth Avenue, designed by architect Ferdinand Gottlieb. The bookstore was featured in various Hollywood films, most notably, Woody Allen's Manhattan and Falling in Love with Robert De Niro and Meryl Streep. He also produced the controversial documentary film Africa Addio.
A museum about Rizzoli's life and career is located at Villa Arbusto within the guest house of that place,[9] at Lacco Ameno. Within this are held 500 photographic-records or evidence of his activities taken on-set during production. The museum also holds the Pithekoussai[10] Archaeological Museum.[5]
Personal life[edit]
Rizzoli married Anna Marzorati with whom he had two children, Andrea and Giuseppina. Rizzoli died aged 81 years of age.

The Milwaukee Bucks signed second-round draft pick Doron Lamb to a multiyear contract Wednesday, the team announced.
A source indicated it was a three-year deal, although no terms or team options were disclosed.
Lamb, a 6-foot-4 guard from Kentucky, was the 42nd overall selection in the June draft. He played two seasons at Kentucky and averaged 13.1 points in 78 career games.
Lamb scored a team-high 22 points in the Wildcats' victory over Kansas in the NCAA title game earlier this year. He is the top three-point percentage shooter in program history after sinking 47.5% of his attempts (144 of 303).
The Bucks signed first-round pick John Henson on Tuesday. Both players will be on Milwaukee's summer league squad, which opens a five-game schedule against New Orleans on Monday in Las Vegas.
The Bucks will open a four-day camp for their summer league team Thursday at the Cousins Center in St. Francis.
Late additions to the roster include former Wisconsin center Brian Butch and NBA veteran DJ Mbenga, who last played for the New Orleans Hornets in the 2010-'11 season.
The team is scheduled to conduct two-a-day workouts on the first three days of the camp and one workout Sunday before leaving for Las Vegas.
Mbenga, 31, who has dual citizenship in the Congo and Belgium, started his NBA career with Dallas in 2004 and also has played for Golden State, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Hornets.
Butch, 27, was signed as a free agent by New Orleans during training camp last December but waived a few weeks later.
He played for the Bakersfield Jam in the NBA Development League during the 2011-'12 season and averaged 15.3 points and 9.8 rebounds in 17 games.
The 6-11 Butch is an Appleton native, a former Wisconsin prep player of the year at Appleton West and played for the Badgers from 2004-'08.

22.09.06 - By James Slater: I love the sport of boxing, and have done so now for going on twenty years. I admire the sports practitioners, men who show bravery that is nothing short of astonishing. As such I would defend the existence of the craft they participate in in search of glory, financial reward and respect with any of the lets ban boxing brigade. Yet while I would very definitely do so with conviction, I do recognise the dark side of the sport - the frightening side, the brutal side. Boxing is extremely dangerous, no doubt, and at times - infrequent ones, thank goodness - there have been occurrences in the fight game that have shaken even its most ardent followers to the very core.
Two such unpleasant memories from the noble art are, with more than a touch of trepidation, recounted in this article. Perhaps such moments should be left alone and not dredged back up now. Or maybe they should forever remain in the minds of we boxing enthusiasts, serving the purpose of being a stark reminder of how the sport we love will continue to have its chilling side.
To the extraordinarily courageous men who were the victims of the awful events that I recall in the coming paragraphs, this piece is dedicated. And as much as many of us will want to forget their tragic fates, to do so would be to ignore or insult such courage.
For me, there are two moments from the fight game that have disturbed me to the point of questioning my very enjoyment of the sport. Both incidents occurred in the mid 1990s and have continued to haunt me ever since. The fight between light middleweights, Simon Brown and Vincent Pettway gave me the most disturbing image I have ever been subject to witnessing when watching two men inside a boxing ring. Its not so much the fight actually, as it is its horrifying ending. One should always keep in mind the brutality of a knockout in a boxing match. The idea behind one, after all, is to so incapacitate your opponent that his brain is no longer capable of functioning to the extent of holding him upright. But the terrifying spectacle thrust upon fans when observing the shocking KO Pettway inflicted on Brown is different.
The moment came in the sixth round. Simon was caught by a sharp blow to the head and he crashed to the mat. Then, while laying prostate on the canvas, completely out, Brown began throwing slow motion punches. Thrown at a target seen only inside a mind that had been brutally robbed of its consciousness, the fighters instinct in Brown continued to be served by the grotesquely thrown punches. Disbelieving gasps were omitted from many open mouths in attendance, and rightfully so. This KO has to rank as one of the most disturbing and awful ever seen. It is to me, anyway, and the memory of it continues to trouble me today.
Shortly behind this fights unsettling ending when it comes to most horrifying moment from boxing, is the Benn vs. McClellan fight, also from 1995. We all remember the brutality of the fight, along with its heartbreakingly tragic ending. What continues to cause me discomfort though, is the memory of the twisted look on Geralds face as he began to blink and twitch in very weird fashion. His brain clearly already damaged as early as the middle rounds of the punishing slugfest and screaming orders to The G-Mans lungs to suck in as much oxygen as they could, Gerald was in an alarmingly bad way, as we discovered at the fights termination. What adds to the troublesome recollections I have from this February evening, however, are the disgusting claims many of us - myself, ashamedly, included - hurled at Gerald with regards to him having quit in the tenth round.
How wrong we were to have levelled such shoddy accusations at the brave man from The United States. Shame, also then, surfaces in my mind whenever this fight torments me by popping up in my head. The knees that Gerald took in that fateful tenth round probably saved his life. As it is, his life today is one of darkness and almost complete silence. Gerald McClellan paid an incalculable price while chasing his ambitions in the boxing ring. The memory of the result of his efforts against Britains Nigel Benn will probably never be removed from my memory banks.
For the old-timers, the never-forgotten image of Benny Kid Paret being mercilessly punished by Emile Griffith while pinned helplessly on the ropes may be the one that serves to haunt them the most. For others it may be the unshakable memory of Davey Moores untimely death. Whatever, every generation of fight fan has its horrible dates to mourn.
It just so happens that for me, my conscience is troubled the most by two grim moments - from an otherwise great sport - that we were subject to in that same year in the mid nineties.

NEW YORK, N.Y. (July 4, 2011) Autism Speaks, the world's largest autism science and advocacy organization, joined in announcing significant findings from the largest known study of twins with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This work, conducted by a consortium of renowned researchers and using material from Autism Speaks Autism Genetic Resource Exchange (AGRE) was published online today in the Archives of General Psychiatry.
The California Autism Twins Study suggests environmental influences, which could include parental age, low birth weight, multiple births, and maternal infections during pregnancy may greatly increase risk for ASD. The study suggested that both genetic and shared environmental factors significantly increase risk for ASD: an estimated 38 percent of risk being associated with genetic heritability and 58 percent with the environment that twins share during pregnancy and perhaps early infancy. The study also found that the relative contributions of shared genes and shared environment are similar for males and females.
"It has been well-established that genetic factors contribute to risk for autism," says Clara Lajonchere, Ph.D., a study co-author and vice president of clinical programs for Autism Speaks. "We now have strong evidence that, on top of genetic heritability, a shared prenatal environment may have a greater than previously realized role in the development of autism."
The study involved 192 pairs of twins, both identical and non-identical, where at least one of the twins in the pair had autism. This approach allowed the researchers to look at how often both children in the twin pair received a diagnosis of autism. Study of identical twins, who share 100 percent of their genes, helps researchers determine the degree to which a disorder is inherited, or genetic; and comparison to fraternal twins, who share around 50 percent of their DNA, allows researchers to understand how environmental influen

I created these on my way back from the Pittsburg Knit and Crochet Festival. I have never designed or even thought about the construction of fingerless gloves? but this just happened to me? Garnet is my little miracle !
Here is how I determined how many stitches to cast on for a perfect fit.
I measured my lower wrist circumference: 8? and upper wrist: 7? I took final circumference as 7? since I was going to use 2x2 ribbing and that fabric stretches a bit.
My guage was 5 sts per inch so that gives me a total of 35 sts to cast on. I used 36 to get an even number of stitches for the 2x2 ribbing.
The broadest part of my hand was 8.5? so I figured an increase of 6 stitches after the cuff would give a good fit and it did.
Finished Size: Lower wrist 8?
Upper wrist 7?
Stitches Used:
Start: 2 rows of garter stitch (Knit both sides on straight needles and Knit one row and purl the next in the round.)
Rib: 2 x 2 ribbing
Knit 2 Purl 2 in the round.
Body: 3x3 checkerboard
Row 1-3: Knit 3 Purl 3 in the round
Row 4: Purl 3 over the previous knit three and Knit 3 over the previous purl 3
Row 5 ?? 6: Purl 3 Knit 3
Repeat rows 1-6 for the pattern.
5 stitches = 1 inch in Stockinette

A Chapter 13 may be a better solution for you for several reasons. In some cases a Chapter 7 bankruptcy may not provide all the relief that you need in order to get you out of debt. Chapter 7 is not necessarily the best solution for everybody. While it is always better to consult an attorney to see what options are best for you, some indicators that a Chapter 13 might be in order are:
- You owe certain kinds of debts that cannot be discharged, but require a restructuring of your financial situation.
- You make too much money to file for bankruptcy under Chapter 7.
- You have significant equity in real property or other items.
- You want, and can afford to, repay at least a portion of your debt to your creditors in a structured repayment plan over time.
- Unlike Chapter 7, Chapter 13 allows you to propose a plan reducing some secured interest rates and potentially restructuring some of your debts.
- You may have a secured loan (i.e. a second mortgage) that exceeds the value of the property and in which case in a Chapter 13, you may be permitted to cram it down or take advantage of the loss mitigation portal in bankruptcy.
A Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a significant undertaking. Filing for Chapter 13 requires that you undertake a multiyear repayment plan in order to receive the benefits of a Chapter 13 discharge. The potential benefit of a Chapter 13, is that you get to keep most of your property regardless of equity and you may get to remove some of your secured debt.
Chapter 13 is not for everybody. There are some significant requirements to participate in a Chapter 13 case. If you are interested in discussing whether a Chapter 13 case is a good move for you, please contact us or fill out our evaluation form.

Be sure to check out the update to our advisory that outlined the amended FCC automated/prerecorded telemarketing rules. The update flags the October 16, 2012 Federal Register notice announcing that the revisions were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, thus setting effective dates for the new rules as follows:
As explained in our prior blog post highlighting the original advisory, the new FCC rules raise the bar for the type of consent needed for auto-dialed live-agent and other telemarketing to cell phones, and extend the automated opt-out mechanism required for prerecorded telemarketing to "abandoned" live-agent telemarketing calls. Details of the rule changes appear in the advisory update, following the discussion of the effective dates for the various new rules.

About Trees: They might look dormant, but the action is underground
Most days now, we walk outside and look up at bare limbs and branches being whipped around by the winds under frequently wet and heavy gray skies.
Sometimes, it can be almost enough to make us want to crawl into bed and pull the covers back up until April.
But I can take some solace in remembering that with Mother Nature things aren't always what they seem.
We often think of the winter as the "dark months," when our trees are dormant. And when we think of dormant we think of synonyms like inactive, or to use two anthropomorphic metaphors, even unconscious or comatose.
That could not be further from the truth.
I remember a science fiction movie some years back in which the protagonist was able to shrink himself and travel through the blood vessels and arteries of a human body. If you could somehow shrink yourself like that and burrow into the ground around and under your favorite oak, you would be absolutely amazed at the activity that is going on down there. You'd find that your tree's activity has not ceased at all, but only shifted downward.
In temperate climate zones like ours, where the soil temperature seldom slips below 40 degrees, our soils play host to a virtual symphony of preparatory activity that comes to a subterranean crescendo in the fall and winter. It's in those cold, gray months that sugar energy formerly stored in woody tissue as carbohydrate is diverted downward to grow and extend the new roots that will support the coming year's explosion of green.
It's also in the fall and winter that mycorrhizal spores join with, multiply the mass of and work in union with tiny roots to prepare for increased water absorption and mineral conversion that will soon become necessary for growth topside.
In fact, that topside phenomenon of new color that we so look forward to could not be sustained at all were it not for this preparation.
And here in the Mid-South that's also exactly why fall is the best time to plant. It provides a valuable preparatory period during which new transplants can begin to establish before sugar energy is reallocated back to the top to put on new leaf and growth in the spring.
So next time you step outside your door in winter, think instead of all that's going on under your feet and take heart. As Martha Stewart might say, it's "a good thing." It is in fact a down payment on and a silent promise of green things to come.

The U.S. Commerce Department recently announced its plan to transition oversight of the non-profit Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which manages Internet domain names and addresses, to a yet-to-be-determined entity. Since 1998, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), a division of the Commerce Department, has overseen the administration of various functions pursuant to the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) contract with ICANN.
This move comes as no surprise to many after Edward Snowden's disclosures regarding U.S. Internet surveillance unleashed a cacophony of international criticism over the U.S.'s perceived "control" over the Internet. The U.S., however, always intended to transition its oversight function to the wider Internet community and this move represents the final phase of a 1997 strategy to privatize ICANN.
The million dollar question is what will replace the U.S. in its oversight of ICANN. While that remains undetermined, the U.S. has stated that it will not accept a proposal that replaces its role with a "government-led or inter-governmental organization solution." In the meantime, ICANN is encouraging private sector entities, including businesses and trademark owners, to offer ideas, comments and suggestions for transition through its website, www.icann.org. ICANN plans to take ideas and feedback on the transition through May 8th.

Mom to James ( 5/2006), Claire ( 6/2008), furry kitties Calvin and Bob, and wife to Dennis.
They are all picked out for this year, but if you are up for a drive next year, check out Honey Hill Orchard. No entrance fee like some places, not a huge busy place, but a wonderful family orchard with the best cider donuts ever.
http://www.royaloakfarmorchard.com/ Not as good as it used to be, but one of the better places I have picked apples. lots for the kids to do also
Amy, where is the place in Milwaukee? Would you mind telling more about it. I live in Evanston. It's probably closer or the same distance as a lot of these places.

Self-contained liquid CPU coolers have become a dime-a-dozen (figuratively, of course), but it's still not often when we see a chassis released with liquid cooling built-in. We're taking a look at one such option here, from Ikonik. So let's see what the Ra2000 Liquid is made off, and see if it deserves its $400 price tag.
Removing the motherboard tray took a bit of effort, but once I learned the appropriate way to pull on it, I was able to get it in and out with little effort. When in place, there is a screw at the top right of the tray that prevents it from sliding out of place. My GIGABYTE motherboard is a standard ATX board so as you can see, the Ra2000 Liquid has plenty of room for extended ATX boards should you have one that you want to use. The depth also allows the use of even the longest of GPUs available today.
With everything installed, the board is relatively clean in appearance. The water block takes up so much less space than a standard air cooler. If it weren't for the auxiliary power connector in the top left hand side of the only thing on the board above the GPU would be the water block and the 24 pin power cable. I can get used to this look.
Going through the interior of the case at the beginning of the review, I mentioned that your power supply can be mounted at the top of the case or the bottom. My personal opinion is that a power supply should be at the bottom if given the chance. Because of this, I put the PSU in that location. I instantly realized that this was a poor choice with the reservoir and pump being in the location that they are.
To prove my point, I went ahead and installed the power supply on the bottom. What I ended up with was frustrating to say the least. In any build, the thing I least look forward to is the cable management. This is a horrible task that we all begin with the best of intentions but most quickly lose steam as the cable routing progresses.
I always start with the power cable and work my way out to the other bits of hardware, trying to route the cables as best as possible. With the Ra2000 Liquid, if you place the power supply at the bottom of the case, you quickly realize that you will not be able to make most of anything look good if you have any unused cables. There is roughly three inches between the back of my power supply (an average sized unit at that) and the reservoir. This leaves very little room to work with when trying to find something to do with all the unused cables. This isn't a bad thing as you can mount your PSU at the top of the case but is something to consider when planning your next build.
The System Intelligent Management system included in the Ra2000 Liquid is made up of the software and board that allows control of the pump and fan speeds as well as some of the lighting at the top of the case. You can communicate with the SIM console by using the provided software. When installed, and the USB cable on the board is connected, you have a good amount of control over the performance and noise of your system.
Built for all of Ikonik's machines, you select which case you are using and the software already knows what should be present. From here you can monitor pump and fan speed and keep an eye on temperatures if you decide to use the provided temperature probes.
The SIM software allow the control of fan speeds by utilizing profiles. You can set individual fans, or all of them, to run silent (on but rotating slowly), topped out (performance), silent at first (0dB Start) and completely silent (fanless). I cannot ever recommend fanless, especially when you can set the pump to "fanless", meaning it's not moving water, but the other three certainly have their uses. When not testing, I ran the Ra2000 Liquid on Silent 24×7 without any temperature issues.
As with my Fractal Designs Define R3 review, the Ra2000 Liquid is kind of a one off for me. This review came into being more from our direct talks with Logisys at CES than anything else. Ryan is still our chassis reviewer and is far more capable than I to present a solid review of a case. For this one though, with it being an all in one water cooled case, I took this one on myself.

For testing, the ambient temperature is kept at a constant 72 degrees Fahrenheit. As in Ryan's reviews, AIDA64 Extreme Engineer is used for monitoring and recording all system temperatures throughout the entire testing process.
Testing is run on a vanilla install of Windows 7 64-bit. An idle temperature is taken of both the CPU and GPU before stress testing begins. To load up the CPU, Intel Burn Test was used and ran for 20 minutes. For the GPU, we ran OCCT's built-in test for 20 minutes as well. Tests were run at stock clocks, and when the i7-920 was overclocked to 3.6 GHz. When overclocked, temperatures were taken when the fans and pump set to silent and set to performance.
For those of you that read our Fractal Designs Define R3 review, you might recall the temperatures seen with the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2. The Ra2000 Liquid's water block manages to stay fairly even with the air cooler at idle, it falls slightly behind when under heavy load. When overclocked, we see higher temperatures but still well below what I could ever consider cause for alarm, even when the SIM was set to silent.
