On Demand Video: Cookie Monster Covers Icona Pop
by Rob Lucas
posted Aug 6 2013 7:01AM
The master of overindulgence Cookie Monster covers Icona Pop's summer smash "I Love It" with his own cover "I Want It." Now all I can think about is the pack of Oreos I have waiting for me at home.

April 18 — To the Editor:
According to Nancy Stiles, putting a person to death is more "humane" than keeping them locked up for life. If this is the case, wouldn't it be more "humane" to just go ahead and kill all of them?
I know, why don't we ask the prisoners which outcome they would prefer.

Share a Coke Campaign Gets Even Better With Emotional Commercial
The Share a Coke promotion is already a huge success, but you'll be more excited about it after watching this.
The Share a Coke promotion is already a huge success, but you'll be more excited about it after watching this.
Tributes to the late Robin Williams keep coming in, even from places you'd least expect it.
Discovery Channel has released the latest commercial for 'Shark Week'. This time, instead of a seal being eaten, 'Snuffy' lives. That, along with another surprise twist, makes for another epic promo for one of the biggest events on TV every year.
If you think the news can scare you with reports of what's going on in the Middle East or the latest on healtchare reform, then get ready to be really terrified.
Another month in the books, another month of news bloopers in the books.
'Shark Week' on Discovery Channel is coming up on August 10th, which means several people will be parked in front of the TV watching the annual week long event. To make things a bit more interesting, I like to throw in a little drinking game from time to time. Check out the rules for the 'Shark Week' drinking game.
We've all had those moments where our cell phones ring at the worst possible time. Hopefully, you've handles it better than this guy.
Talking on helium is almost as funny as a fart. Doesn't matter how old you are, everyone laughs at it. On an appearance on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon convinced Morgan Freeman to talk while on helium.
People in their 20's might have a difficult time imagining a world where all the information is not at their fingertips. Here's a news report that shows just how much technology has changed our lives during the past 30-plus years.
The guys over at TV Tag couldn't launch the real 'Walter White' into space, but they did the next best thing. With a GoPro camera strapped to it, a bobblehead doll of the popular 'Breaking Bad' TV character was sent up to the 'lonely frontier', which captured some incredible pictures of 'Mother Earth'.
Homelessness and the seemingly unequal distribution of wealth are issues in this country, but they're problems that are hard to take seriously when you see someone like this.
The A&E Network has added another spin off channel called FYI TV. There motto is 'A Network for your Imagination, Innovation, and Inspiration' and one of the shows on the channel is called 'Married at First Sight'. Yes, it is basically an arranged marriage of sorts; you don't meet the person you are marrying until you get to the alter.

Aims: To elucidate the relationship between tobacco smoking and depression, and to estimate the impact of other substance dependencies. Design: Cross-sectional. Participants: A total of 1,849 men and women were interviewed face-to-face using a validated structured questionnaire. According to their tobacco smoking behavior, participants were grouped into never smokers, ex-smokers and current smokers. Measurements: Data were generated through the WHO/ISBRA study, an international multicenter study with a cross-sectional design. A standardized questionnaire was administered face-to-face by trained interviewers. Logistic regression analysis was used to predict depression. Results: There was a significant difference across the 3 smoking groups in the number of subjects who had major depression (DSM-IV) during their lifetime. The highest rate of depressives was found in current smokers (23.7%), the lowest rate in never smokers (6.2%), while the rate of those who had quit smoking (14.6%) was between both. In a logistic regression analysis, alcohol dependence (both current and during lifetime) as well as cocaine dependence were significant predictors of depression. However, the association between smoking and depression still remained statistically significant. Conclusions: This study adds support to the evidence that smoking is linked to depression. It also elucidates the importance of taking into account alcohol and cocaine dependence since they have a significant impact on the relationship between smoking and depression.

- Elysian Valley
- Environment
Although it is not native to the flora of the Los Angeles River, the Arundo Donax, or giant cane, has managed to become pervasive throughout the river beds of the Glendale narrows and Elysian valley. Sinking roots almost down to the concrete, the giant cane is damaging the river's riparian ecosystem by depriving native species (such as willows) of water.
Below is a video of Joe Linton, advocate and author of Down by the Los Angeles River and slideshow with educator Alicia Katano, explaining the invasive nature and the origins of Arundo Donax.

Here is the latest in a regular series of articles based on the work of the Managing Partner Leadership Advisory Board ("LAB").
The LAB was created by international law practice management consultant Patrick J. McKenna and Baker & Daniels Chair Emeritus Brian K. Burke to offer recently appointed managing partners a forum in which to pose questions on issues of critical leadership importance. LAB responses derive from its members' many years' experience as law firm leaders.
QUESTION: I'm about to become (in two months) the new managing partner at a firm where approximately one-half of our lawyers are in one city (where my office is), while the rest are dispersed over four smaller locations, and across three States. There is a strong sense of us-and-them that unfortunately has developed. And being yet another managing partner from the firm's largest office doesn't help. One of the priorities, that I want to direct some of my attention to addressing, is to implement actions that would serve to make our long-distance working relationships more cohesive. I am planning to visit each of the offices before I assume leadership, and on a regular basis thereafter, but that doesn't really address the core issue here.
What has been your experience with handling this situation? What advice, what specific strategies and activities would you suggest that I implement?

"The product is of good quality paper that does not look cheap. I would recommend this product to friends and family for it's superior quality."
"This is a very nice card. The card stock is heavy, like other Tiny Prints cards. This particular piece is nice because it is relatively simple and leaves a lot of space to write the note."
"This simple thank you note is chic and stylish, not over-stated. A quick thank you for gifts received for the little one is surely appreciated when the gift giver opens up this beautiful thank you note."
"This card was great! The paper was nice and thick, and the printing was perfect. I used it for thank you cards after the birth of my baby. Love the simple design. Very pleased with the quality."
"I ordered these cards as Thank You cards because my Baby Shower is going to be in blue and brown. I wanted something simple with our babies name on them. When I saw these cards, I knew that they were the ones! They turned out so adorable and look exactly like they do on the example.The quality of the paper and printing are very nice. I can't wait to mail them out as my Thank You Cards. If I run out, I am for sure going to order some more!!!!"

Governments kept partying amid downturn
Local agencies spent $749,000 over past two years, survey finds
Otay Water District employees played blackjack, craps and roulette (for prizes, not money) at their holiday gatherings held at the Mission Valley Resort. They also dined on roast loin of pork, chicken breast chardonnay and baked fletch of halibut or sea bass.
Party spending at San Diego County government ranked fourth, at $42,140, for spending across its 34 departments in two years. The government spent six times that amount for year-end gifts for employees, putting them first in The Watchdog's ranking of total year-end party and gift spending.
"Recognition awards are an important part of our general management system," spokesman Michael Workman said. "The program rewards extraordinary performance, innovation, great customer service, and customer satisfaction. It also serves as motivation to increase morale and foster a climate of continuous improvement of county services."
The county's probation department annually enjoyed culinary dishes prepared by Bekker's West Coast Catering at the Marina Village Conference Center, including Hawaiian style smoked pork ribs, Polynesian barbecue chicken and fresh mahi mahi with mango salsa.
Nothing to report
These 15 agencies reported no year-end parties or gifts for employees using public or discretionary funds:
Cities: El Cajon, Escondido, La Mesa, National City, Oceanside, San Marcos, Vista
Schools: Grossmont Union, Oceanside Unified, Poway Unified, San Diego Unified, Vista Unified
Other: Centre City Development Corp., Rancho Santa Fe fire district, Superior Court of San Diego County
Note: If you know of parties hosted by these agencies that were not reported, contact us at watchdog@utsandie... or 619-293-2275.
The City of Carlsbad, in fifth place for parties, budgets $20,000 a year for its annual employee holiday breakfast and service award recognition event for 400 of its employees at the La Costa Resort and Spa. More than 700 mini-poinsettias adorned the space for about $1,200 a year.
At $11,320, the Port of San Diego spent almost twice as much on parties in 2011 as in 2010. One party, for 30 executive staff members and commissioners, was held at Roy's San Diego Waterfront in 2010. On the menu: Misoyaki Butterfish for $61 a plate, jumbo scallops for $59.95 a plate and fire grilled filet mignon for $65.95 a plate. In 2011, the party was at the Bali Hai featuring Kalua pork tenderloin, top sirloin steak, local striped bass and lava cake.
Gift cards and electronics served as raffle prizes at multiple agencies.
Tri-City purchased $500 in gift cards from stores like Sears, Toys 'R' Us, Chevron and Macaroni Grill. Raffle winners at holiday gatherings hosted by Tri-City and the Otay Water District won, among other items, Kindle Fire e-readers, iPods, iPod docks, Blu-ray players and digital photo frames.
Some agencies, like the North County Transit District and the Vallecitos Water District, limit costs by footing the bill for the main dish at their annual event and asking employees to bring the fixings. As a result, the transit district's two-year total topped out at $564, and the water district's at $689.
The Sweetwater Union High School District hosted a holiday mixer for management in 2010 for $1,427, serving hors d'oeuvres like cranberry and brie cheese tarts, smoked salmon crostini, quiche, coconut shrimp, beef skewers, as well as apple cobbler.

Here's an explanation of what happened with Ryan from a reputable US news source...
Ryans Dream Shot Down
Cornell freshman defenseman Joakim Ryan, a candidate for the Swedish National Junior Team, has been told by the IIHF that he is ineligible to participate in the games, which start Dec. 26th in Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta.
What the IIHF learned was that Ryan has never been rostered on a Swedish team for 24 consecutive months, reportedly a little-known requirement. Ryan did play minor hockey for Malmo, but was only on roster for 22 months.
Ryan, a dual citizen who speaks fluent Swedish, skated for Sweden in the U-17 Ivan Hlinka Tournament as well as in the World Junior A Challenge in Penticton, BC in Nov. 2010 (while with the Dubuque Fighting Saints). Neither of those tournaments, however, are IIHF-sanctioned.
This past April, Ryan, who had been guaranteed a spot, was unable to skate for Sweden in the U-18 World Championship as his team, the Dubuque Fighting Saints, were in the USHL playoffs (which they eventually won). The U-18 World Championship is, of course, an IIHF-sanctioned tournament. Once a player appears in an IIHF-sanctioned tournament with any particular country, hes locked into that country permanently, i.e. dual citizens cant jump back and forth. Interesting that it wasnt an issue then, but is now. The World Junior rosters are probably vetted more closely than the U-18 rosters, but still
At any rate, Ryan, who skated with Sweden at the Junior Evaluation Camp in Lake Placid, NY in August, can, since hes a 93 and has a year of eligibility remaining, either appeal the IIHFs decision and try to play for Sweden again next winter, or try out for the U.S. National Junior Team.
For now, though, Cornell, which could lose forward Brian Ferlin and goaltender Andy Iles to the U.S. Junior Team, will at least have Ryan on hand for the Florida College Classic Dec. 29-30.
Still, losing an opportunity to play in the WJC so late in the game especially on a technicality -- is a tough pill to swallow.
You talk about a kick in the gut holy cow, said Ryans family adviser, Jim Troy. Hes devastated. Its not like he can now turn to USA Hockey and say Here I am.
Ryan is a dual citizen by dint of the fact that his mother, Catarina Lindqvist, is Swedish. Lindqvist was a pro tennis player who twice reached the semis of a Grand Slam Tournament (the Australian Open, and Wimbledon), only to lose both times to Martina Navratilova. So you can see where Ryan, who has also represented Sweden in international tennis tournaments, gets his athleticism.
Ryan, who is 510, 182 lbs., was passed over in last summers NHL Draft. In nine games this season for Cornell, he has a 4-3-7 line and leads rookie d-men in scoring.
The IIHF rules seem to be slanted towards an emphasis on the country of a players development rather than any notion of national preference for the player when it comes to dual-citizens. The US has actually been on the wrong end of some of these rulings recently as well (Stefan Matteau and Alex Galchenyuk, though the former reportedly won his appeal and the latter has reportedly given up his Russian citizenship to help ensure his eligibility) and I'm sure it's extremely frustrating for the players even more so than the fans.
As a US fan, I wouldn't have a problem with Ryan representing Sweden despite the fact he's a product of the US development system. Samuelsson would be a little more annoying considering he spent a year in USA Hockey's NTDP program and has played for the US in an IIHF event. I don't know that William Nylander even actually has US citizenship as I believe he was born in Canada and neither of his parents are American. It should be noted that if he hadn't moved to Sweden he may have only had eligibility to play for Canada in the future so from a Swedish perspective it's certainly a fortunate decision he made the move.
At the same time I gather there's a real disconnect between what makes a person one nationality or another in America compared to Europe. The Samuelsson's might be 100% Swedish ethnically but in the US that doesn't stop them from being 100% American if they have citizenship. I remember hearing about Russian hockey announcers claiming the US had "stolen" Nick Bjugstad from Norway despite the fact he was born and raised in the US. I guess it goes to show there's no easy answer to these kinds of things but it's interesting to see as someone who's probably got a few dozen different ethnicities in his family lineage and considers himself "American" before any of them.

Do more to allow elderly to work and age in place
Published on Mar 1, 2012 6:00 AM
As Singapore's elderly population increases, doing away with the retirement age has found a champion in Mr David Ong (Jurong GRC).
This would allow employees to work beyond the current retirement age of 65 'without prejudice or employer discrimination' - except in jobs that demand exacting labour or involve public safety.
He said that interactions with residents have shown 'rising levels of concern about the ability to cope in retirement'.
He added that many expressed disappointment at having to either retire, or be re-employed at a lower level, take a pay cut, and suffer reductions in CPF employer contributions when they hit 65.

'If older workers are giving the employer the same effort, time, talent and value as any of the younger staff, why should they be paid any less?'

text: Great review! I must add, which I've done elsewhere, the G&H tins seem REALLY hit or miss with the seals. I've had two tins of Bob's Chocolate Flake and neither one was sealed. Because of that, the tobacco wasn't overly moist or have much Lakeland scent in the tin, but the tobacco smoked great. On the other hand, I have a tin of Ennerdale that has a vacuum pulled on it that looks like it was done with some super industrial machine, the tin is almost caved in on itself!

The pre-summer and pre-Christmas timing was very successful for Expo but it was felt the event could not achieve its full potential as manufacturers and retailers could only deliver what they had in stock at that time, while shipyards and the marine service and support businesses were almost at capacity with repairs, slipping, anti-fouling and re-fits at that time.
We also understand that the show visitor is looking for something new, something more, something different, something far better than they have previously experienced. We need to create a compelling reason for people to travel to the Gold Coast from interstate and overseas to see a diverse and unique marine showcase on a scale not seen anywhere else in the Southern Hemisphere. This is our real objective.
WHAT ARE THE KEY BENEFITS OF EXPO 2015 – 21st to 24th MAY
Creating the greatest possible visitor experience.
There is enormous potential for this concept – one which shares the dates of three major and separate boating events – to be the No.1 marine attraction in Australia, No.1 in the Southern Hemisphere and comparable with the best in the world.
A unique event from our industry.
Expo showcases the largest marine precinct in Australia, where 13,000 boats are manufactured for domestic and international markets, over 6000 boats are slipped, serviced and repaired each year, where over 2000 people are employed and where the value of the supply chain to all marine businesses that operate within the marine precinct runs into the hundreds of millions of dollars.
Creating a solid future for us all.
The change future-proofs the Gold Coast as the international marine destination and Australia's biggest marine industry showcase, spread over a number of locations.
Maximising the timing opportunity.
The new dates – 21st to 24th May 2015 – give manufacturers and dealers the best chance to build and deliver orders by the summer season, and enable shipyards and all support businesses within the supply chain to drive business at the time of year that they require it.
A boat lover's paradise.
We can create four fantastic days on the Gold Coast featuring every marine industry display you can imagine.
A boating-only focused event.
There will be no clash with other major international or interstate events that draw attention away from boating.
Attracting vital new visitors.
The date change takes advantage of attractive Gold Coast weather for interstate and overseas visitors.
Creating value for exhibitors.
We have held exhibitor rates at 2014 levels … with an additional day free of charge for our exhibitors, highlighting our desire to support those in our industry who see the opportunity in a new paradigm of boat show.
Opportunity for us all.
There are major economic benefits to the wider marine industry and the economy by creating an awesome marine showcase.
Easy access to Expo.
Expo is very accessible for both visitors and exhibitors, with two dedicated exits from the M1 Motorway (Exit 54 – 3.3km/4mins; Exit 57 – 4km/5mins), two different roads leading into the precinct (Shipper Drive and Beattie Road), shuttle buses from Coomera Railway Station 2.7km/3mins) … as well as free car-parking at the door.
Transport links on-site enhance the experience.
Visitors will enjoy free water transport between the Gold Coast City Marina, the Riviera yacht-building facility and The Boat Works, in addition to free courtesy buses running the length of Waterway Drive, seamlessly linking the free car-parking with a minimum of four great Expo sites, including Telwater's state-of-the-art Quintrex factory.
Helping restore growth.
It will help create more jobs and business opportunities within the Australian marine industry.
The Expo offers a unique and cost affective boat show platform that allows exhibitors to meet consumers within a friendly marine environment. While exhibiting the consumer is able to better understand what your product or service has to offer and create and form that ever important business relationship.
Set at the Gold Coast Marine Precinct the ready-made venue provides the perfect location for the public to witness boat building, refitting and repairing first-hand, bringing enthusiasts even closer to the industry, in a memorable and interactive manner.
Offering a rare behind the scenes view of the marine industry allows the Expo to entice and educate the general public on what "boating" and getting out on the water has to offer.
Not only offering a wide range of exhibitors from kayaks to super yachts, the Expo also offers visitors a comprehensive program of events including a variety of live technical demonstrations and attractions with something taking place every 15 minutes over four big days.
The Gold Coast International Marine Expo offers you a boat show with so much more.
220 Exhibitors took part
300+ Marine Brands on display
600+ Boats on display both on land and water

ATLANTIC CITY, December 8, 2008 -- World Boxing Organization (WBO) Junior Welterweight Champion Kendall Holt (24-2, 13 KOs) will now defend his title against Philadelphias Demetrius Hopkins (28-0-1, 11 KOs) on Saturday, December 13 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. Tickets for Holt-Hopkins, promoted by Top Rank and hosted by Caesars Atlantic City, are priced at $200, $100 and $50 and can be purchased online at www.ticketmaster.com, by phone at 1-800-736-1420, or at any Ticketmaster outlet nationwide.. Tickets can also be purchased at the Boardwalk Hall box office. Doors will open at 8:00 pm and the main event is scheduled for 11:00 p.m.
Originally, Holt was to defend his title in a rubber-match against former champion Ricardo Torres, but Torres became ill in training camp and on Sunday announced he was unable to fight. Hopkins, already scheduled to fight on this high-octane fight card stacked with local talent, was prepared to step in right away and did so on Monday.
Featured on the undercard will be undefeated NABF jr. middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (26-0, 8 KOs) from Brooklyn, NY defending his title against Irish James Moore (16-1, 10 KOs) from Wicklow, Ireland. Also appearing on the undercard is separate bouts will be super lightweight Omar Chavez (12-0-1, 9 KOs) from Culiacan, MX; Jersey Citys Jorge Diaz (6-0, 5 KOs) will appear in a six-round bantamweight bout; Russian Olympian, middleweight Matt Korobov (1-0, 1 KO) from Orotukan, Russia will fight in his second bout as a professional; Atlantic Citys own super flyweight Qaid Muhammad (3-0, 3 KOs); and Patersons Glenn Tapia will make his pro debut as a super welterweight.
Holt vs. Hopkins and Foreman vs. Moore will be broadcast on a special edition of ShoBox: The New Generation, live from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ, (SHOWTIME at 11 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the west coast).
Kendall Holt won the WBO title against then-champion Ricardo Torres on July 5, 2008 in a short and brutal bout that lasted only sixty-one seconds. Holt was knocked down twice in the first thirty seconds. He returned to his feet following the second knockdown and saw Torres moving in to finish him off. Holt then landed a crushing overhand right that sent Torres to his knee, held up only by the ropes where the fight was stopped. Torres, who suffered a concussion, took several minutes to return to his feet before being whisked off to a local hospital for further tests. Holt, the newly crowned champion, himself headed to the hospital for stitches over his right eye.
A top contender at 140-pounds and ranked #10 by the WBO, Hopkins holds key victories over Steve Forbes, Ernesto Zepeda and Jesse Feliciano. With Hopkins hailing from Philadelphia, and Holt from Paterson, N.J., it is essentially a home-game for both fighters.
Ricardo Torres had captured the vacant WBO title with a split decision over Mike Arnaoutis, another Atlantic City fan favorite, on November 18, 2006.

NEW YORK (Dec. 8, 2008) Undefeated junior welterweight challenger Demetrius Hopkins (28-0-1, 11 KOs) will step in to face WBO 140-pound champion Kendall Holt (24-2, 13 KOs) in the main event of Saturdays special edition of ShoBox: The New Generation, live from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ, (SHOWTIME at 11 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the west coast).
Holt was originally slated to face former 140-pound champ Ricardo Torres in a rubber-match, but Torres withdrew from the fight on Monday.
Torres really wanted to fight but he was ill during camp, missed some training and was not in the condition he needed to be in for a war like this," said Bruce Trampler, chief matchmaker for Top Rank.
Now, Holt will have his hands full with the undefeated Hopkins, the nephew of former middleweight champion Bernard Hopkins. The 28-year-old Hopkins is in peak condition as he was originally scheduled to fight Germaine Sanders on the undercard of Saturdays bout. When he learned Torres pulled out, he jumped at the opportunity to fight for his first world title.
According to manager Cameron Dunkin, Hopkins, upon accepting the fight, went immediately into an intense, all-day training session and was unavailable for comment.
Dunkin said, Demetrius had been training hard for his fight with Germaine, and he has redoubled his efforts. He knows he needs to lose three more pounds but he will be on weight by Wednesday. He has completely devoted himself to being ready for this fight.
This is a fight that he has wanted for a long time, the manager continued. His first world title fight; we have wanted this for a long time. I am excited and proud that he will get the chance on Saturday. This is what weve been waiting for.
A top contender at 140-pounds, Hopkins holds key victories over Steve Forbes, Ernesto Zepeda and Jesse Feliciano. With Hopkins hailing from Philadelphia, and Holt from Paterson, N.J., it is essentially a home-game for both fighters.
Remaining tickets are on sale for the event, which is promoted by Top Rank, Inc., for Boardwalk Hall in. Tickets at $200, $100 and $50 are available on www.ticketmaster.com, by phone at 1-800-736-1420, or at any Ticketmaster outlet nationwide.
Nick Charles will call the action from ringside with Steve Farhood serving as expert analyst and Al Bernstein as ringside reporter. The executive producer of ShoBox is Gordon Hall with Richard Gaughan producing and Rick Phillips directing. ShoBox recently celebrated seven outstanding years on the air.

VIDEO/POLL: Collier animal services declines to add 'adoption' to its mission statement
Collier County Domestic Animal Services does have a new mission statement, but it doesn't include the word adoption.
Animal services Director Amanda Townsend unveiled the new statement at Tuesday's meeting of the Domestic Animal Services advisory committee.
Townsend said putting adoption in the mission statement is not going to guarantee adoptions in the future, though she said adoption is very important.
She sees more issues than a word being important to the mission of animal services.
"I want to tell you all there are things that can be done to help animals," she said. There are many projects available to help people, including helping senior citizens keep their pets in their homes, return to owners programs and spay and neuter initiatives, she said.
Many citizens spoke out in favor of adding the word adoption to the mission statement.
Townsend prefaced the unveiling by saying the county attorney and county manager said the division director made the mission statement.
The one unveiled by Townsend read: "To protect Collier County residents and visitors from animal-related injury and zoonotic diseases while promoting humane treatment of animals, positive outcome for shelter animals and responsible pet ownership."
Some of those attending the meeting said without the word adoption in the mission statement, people would not know what animal services is about.
The advisory committee voted to approve requesting Townsend include the word adoption, something she said she would not do. Only one person on the committee, Collier County Sheriff's Office Sgt. David Estes, voted against the motion.
One member of the advisory committee, James Rich, said if Townsend opted not to put in the word adoption, the committee as a whole could write letters to the Collier County Commission asking them to make her put the word in.
Several people in the audience said they wanted the word adoption in so that adoptions at the shelter would be recognized in future budget years.
During the public comment portion of the meeting, Steve Wright, said the county's mission statement includes "exceed expectations."
"Please, exceed our expectations," Wright said. "Let's make pet adoptions part of our mission."

Steep route sending
Some basic stuff: I wear a 13.5 street shoe, and wear a 13 for performance in my pontas, evo's. I can not get a 13 on my foot, but the 13.5 was perfect. Easy to get on and quite comfy for such an aggressive shoe, which is awesome. If you haven't gone to a downturn shoe for steep climbing, wait no longer. I find evolv rubber works just as well as any on the market. I love these shoes.

Also even if I'm not, thequestion is how much we want to separate this in order to keep it readable.I'm not quite sure about it either, but I would like to post the patch so there could be discussion, IIRC, there was discussion about the TERM "domain" and "guest" before too. Anyway, there should be guidelines for it, mixing use of both of them at liberty can just produce messy codes.

Zammuto – Anchor
Nick Zammuto follows his self-titled 2012 album up with a more subtle winter record.
Zammuto – "Great Equator"
Nick Zammuto–formerly of The Books–has a new solo album on the way. As you may recall, I dug this dude's last full-length, so, of course, I'm looking forward to what he's going to be dishing up on this latest record of his. The title: Anchor. It's currently looking at a Sept. 2nd release date on Temporary Residence Limited.
"Great Equator" is a chilly, serene ballad with plenty of throbbing electronics hanging in the background. It's a track that subtly hypnotizes, but then it knocked me out of that funk with some jagged, angular synth melodies. The swelling instrumentation on the back end of the track is quite nice, too. Really psyched to see what sonic adventures Nick embarks on with this album!
Zammuto – "Need Some Sun"
It would seem that ex-The Books member Nick Zammuto has a second album–huh?–on the way. Not only does this video note that, but the single above is essentially all the proof you need.
"Need Some Sun" is one of Zammuto's smoothest tracks yet, not really showcasing a lot of the strange, over-the-top eccentricities that were featured on his full-length debut. What seems most consistent about this track are Zammuto's esoteric and personal lyrics, which are backed up with tense but quiet percussion and bass. The bassline actually reminds me a bit of something I'd hear Tool toy with back in the 90s–yes, of course I mean that in a good way!
Check a glowing review of Zammuto's debut full-length below:
Zammuto- "The Shape of Things to Come"
Zammuto drops a new video in support of its (uh, his?) latest album on Temporary Residence Limited. Check our review for the album here.
Zammuto- Idiom Wind EP
On his latest EP, the Books member Nick Zammuto deals in the same experimental sounds that made his main band's previous album so great. I will say the singer-songwriter element of the three songs on this release is more prevalent, though.
Zammuto- Idiom Wind EP
Click the widget above and grab a full stream of the new Zammuto EP, Idiom Wind. Zammuto is, of course, Nick Zammuto of the experimental music duo the Books. This new EP is out now via the UK label Make Mine, and features an exciting combination of original instrumentation, samples, and noise.
Stream Zammuto's New Single
Just a few days ago, I was hyping the new single Zammuto is set to drop next month in the UK. Well, now you can stream the whole thing via SoundCloud. Nice!
Zammuto- "Idiom Wind"
Nick Zammuto, one half of the experimental music duo the Books, is releasing some solo material this December via a new single on Make Mine.
The Books' late album, which was one of my favorite albums of 2010, was a surprising turn for the duo considering the increased use in vocals–not sampled, of course–in the music. Zammuto seems to be heading further down that road with his solo material.
With "Idiom Wind," I can't say much other than this: I find this song to be really beautiful. The swelling throbs of strings, dry drums, and the earnest vocals just come together into something warm, pretty, and well-arranged. I'm excited to hear what else Zammuto's got coming down the pipe now!
This project also got some tour dates line up for 2012. Check 'em:
Feb 3: Mass MOCA, North Adams, MA
Feb 4: 92YTribeca, New York, NY
Feb 6: Brighton Music Hall, Allston, MA
The Books Hit Daytrotter
Following the release of last year's the Way Out, which was one of my favorite 2010 albums, the Books spent a day last week recording a session with the good people at Daytrotter.
Follow the link below and hear four tracks, which include "Tokyo" and "Free Translator":
And here's a video for one of my favorite tracks from the Books' latest album, the Way Out, "I Didn't Know That":
Zammuto- "Yay"
Nick Zammuto, member of the The Books, has a personal project. Fans of arty, glitchy cut-up music could be pleased by this first track, "Yay." Others might be bemused, or irritated, by the by-the-numbers digital splicing offered here. Either way, if your appetite is whetted, Zammuto says his new ensemble should be ready to play live by the end of the year.

Romance After 60
Bortz says women over 60 should reject the idea that their sex lives must end if their husbands pass away.
"If you don't have a guy, go get one -- don't be embarrassed, or shy, or conform to the idea it is over for you," he says. There is this reigning paradigm that once your man has died it is all over for you. It is a nostalgic, romantic image. But physical touching and romance should be with us until the last twinkle."
One of the disincentives for women is painful intercourse due to thinning of vaginal tissues as estrogen levels decline. Hormone replacement therapy used to be used for this purpose. But with more research linking combination estrogen and progestin therapy to heart disease and breast cancer, hormones are now only recommended for the relief of hot flashes.
Both Morley and Blank recommend the use of lubricants for older women. If condoms or sex toys are used, these lubricants should be water-based and not oil-based.
Finally, Bortz suggests that woman can actively increase their sex drive -- what psychologists call libido. "There are three or four stages in the sex act," he says. "But first comes desire, which is hormonal. Lots of women have flagging desire, and testosterone works for both women and men in this regard."
Steps to Better Sex for the Older Man
For men as well as for women, sexuality begins with desire.
"Libido starts everything," Bortz says. "A man's testosterone level goes down with aging. But most men's aging problems are not testosterone. But this might be the problem, so the first step is to measure the testosterone levels in the blood."
The FDA estimates that there are 4 million to 5 million men in the U.S. with low testosterone levels, a dangerous medical condition known as hypogonadism. But many of these men are not getting testosterone treatment. Morley says new studies put the number of hypogonadal men in the U.S. at 10 million to 15 million.
Even so, both Morley and Bortz warn people to get reliable tests of their testosterone level before attempting testosterone therapy.

Now that I've finished that science lecture, here's what you need to know: when you're out in the elements and the weather takes a turn, you'll be happy you have this puppy on you to keep you toasty warm and happy (that's what it all boils down to).

To begin, I reason I decided to purchase the Thermoball jacket was that is one of the warmer jackets without all the bulk. I typically do not buy The Northface brand due to being petite and the clothes just do not fit well, this jacket is an exeption to that statement. Probably the one negative to me is that I prefer a matte look to my jackets and this has a bit of a shine; nothing major like some. Overall, this is one of the better jackets if you prefer a more taylored fit. With that being said, I purchased a women's XS and I am 5'4" and 90lbs....In my opinion, it helps to know the profile of person writing the review. Happy Hunting!
I love this coat! Lightweight and great for to and from wherever I am going. It could be a little longer but I tend to have a long torso so I deal with that with most things. It's great for all day - and is very packable - you know for days you leave the house in the morning and aren't going to get home until late - it does't take up too much room in your bag.
Awesome lightweight, yet warm, jacket. Love the streamline fit. I got the black (very classy) in medium. I'm 5'3" and weigh 102 pounds and the medium is a great fit. I wear the Osito jacket underneath if it's cold. This is a perfect jacket to throw on for dog walking or going out. Dress up or down, it's good anytime. In Georgia, I'll be wearing this until really warm weather in June. Definitely a 3-season jacket, even 4 seasons, if you need a light top layer over a t-shirt on summer nights! You'll probably be glad if you size up, because it's still slim fitting with or without layers. Now I know what all the hype is about the Thermoball jacket!
I got this in cosmic blue with flashy orange interior. It looks violet/purple on the outside to me which I love!!! TNF = We need more cosmic blue products!! I purchased the Medium sized jacket here on clearance for a great deal - 40 bucks off. It fits me very nice. I'm a medium average built, top heavy (36DD), petite woman (5'2) and the fit is still flattering. I don't mind the sleeves being somewhat long on me. Not too tight in the breast area and it has princess seams so with my short stature the fit doesn't make me look like Sponge Bob. This is packable too! Perfect for travel and layering. In lower temps layering is a must because the cold air will probably seep into the seams.
After seeing how awesome I looked in my Thermoball jacket last year, my wife decided she needed one too! We love these jackets -- super light weight, but will definitely keep you warm. It's perfect for those winter camp outs or just wearing around town. My wife bought the Jaiden Green color in her normal size (small) and it looks and fits great!
Love, love , love the color and the nearly weightless feel of the jacket. Purchased to handle cold weather temps in the mid 30's. Alone it might not suffice for extended time in cold weather, but with the addition of tech underlayer, i am confident it will be perfect. Moosejaw had the lowest price on the web and the jacket shipped uber fast. Fit is slim profile- exactly what I wanted. Very pleased.
This jacket fits right and is very light weight. It's not bulky like a lot of jackets of this style and it looks more fitted in the waist, giving it a more feminine look. I plan to wear this a lot in the winter and it's light enough to wear as a layer for those trips to the North country and to the Rockies--it's easy to pack when traveling! Love the fact the sleeves don't ride up when I reach for something. The extra pockets on the inside of the jacket will come in handy and the hidden elastic pull cord on the bottom for keeping snow out and warmth in is easily accessible by pulling the cord in the pocket, so clever! I am 100% satisfied with the Thermoball in the Jaiden Green color. I purchased a medium and wear size 8 so it's pretty true to size.
Great! I have this jacket and my daughter wanted one in this color. She received it yesterday and was absolutely ecstatic! Very happy with my experience!
I bought this jacket as a gift for my girlfriend and she loves it. For her, on the really cold days she used it as a layer underneath her bigger coat. This worked for her since it is so light and thin (it's so lightweight I thought they shipped me an empty box). When it was a milder winter day, she was able to wear this jacket alone. In addition, she received numerous compliments on the style and color (Borealis Blue).

I Hope Rush Limbaugh Fails
Go ahead, guess who wrote the following paragraph. And I'll give you a hint: It's not Al Franken, Keith Olberman, Rachel Maddow, or even Michael Moore.
And for the leader of the Republicans? A man who is aggressive and bombastic, cutting and sarcastic, who dismisses the concerned citizens in network news focus groups as 'losers.' With his private plane and his cigars, his history of drug dependency and his personal bulk, not to mention his tangled marital history, Rush is a walking stereotype of self-indulgence

The first laptop we've seen with the GeForce Go 7800 GTX graphics card, the Inspiron XPS M170 from Dell is aimed very much at the gaming market – but it can do much more than just play games.
See our Laptop Advisor website for expert reviews of today's best laptops, plus read our essential advice to make sure you choose the right specs
The screen is a beauty: a 17in TFT with a maximum resolution of 1,920x1,200. UltraSharp and TrueLife technologies ensure picture quality is both sharp and resonant - the screen may be a little reflective, but the image is considerably better than your average LCD.
In our Doom3 tests the Dell achieved frame rates higher than we've ever seen in a notebook – 103fps (frames per second) at 1,024x768 dropping to 81.1fps at 1,600x1,200. In Halo, it managed 98.9fps and 78.3fps.
Overall Windows performance was impressive, too; but we expected that from a 2.13GHz Pentium M 770 and 1GB of DDR RAM. The WorldBench 5 score of 94 is one of the best we've seen in a laptop – only one system we've seen has beaten this.
The other specifications are top-notch – there's a 100GB hard drive and a dual-layer DVD writer – and the software bundle includes Media Center for XP, which gives you all the functionality of Media Center 2005 Edition and is a great addition.
But we're still not sure that the XPS justifies its price tag. Sure, it's a great-looking, well-put-together piece of kit with all the latest bells and whistles, but we'd have been much happier if it was £200 less.
