Commodities Trader Convicted of Threatening to Kill Government Officials
Earlier today, Vincent McCrudden, a former commodities trader, pleaded guilty to two counts of transmitting threats to kill more than 40 current and former officials of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), the National Futures Association ("NFA") and the U.S. Commodities Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"). McCrudden has been in custody since his arrest on January 14, 2011.
The guilty pleas were announced by Loretta E. Lynch, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Lanny A. Breuer, Assistant Attorney General of the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice, Janice K. Fedarcyk, Assistant Director-in-Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, New York Field Office, and Christopher Pappas, Acting Regional Director, Federal Protective Service ("FPS").
The defendant admitted that he sent an email threatening to kill the Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the NFA. Specifically, on September 30, 2010, the defendant sent an email with a subject line of "You're a Dead Man," in which the defendant told the Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the NFA that he had hired trained assassins to kill him and that his "body [would] never be found" because it would be in "little bits and pieces."
The defendant also admitted that he posted threats to kill more than 40 government and regulatory officials on a website that he operated. On one of those website pages, the defendant invited others to "[g]o buy a gun" and take back the country and stated that he would be the first one to lead by example. On another page on his website, the defendant included an "Execution List" with the names of more than 40 current and former officials of the SEC, FINRA, NFA and CFTC. That list included the Chairperson of the SEC, the Chairman of the CFTC, a former Acting Chairman and Commissioner of the CFTC, the Chairman and CEO of FINRA, the former chief of Enforcement at FINRA and other employees of the NFA and CFTC. The defendant wrote that "[t]hese people have got to go. And I need your help, there are just too many for me alone." Finally, the defendant posted a $100,000 reward on his website for personal information of those individuals and proof that they were punished. McCrudden started broadcasting these threats over the internet shortly after the CFTC filed a civil enforcement lawsuit against him in U.S. District Court in Central Islip in early December, 2010. McCrudden has been the subject of various enforcement or disciplinary proceedings at the NFA, FINRA and the CFTC for several years.
"This defendant crossed the line when he directly threatened to kill public officials who were working to keep our financial markets fair and open, and invited others to join him. He thought he could hide in the shadows of the Internet and disseminate his threats and instructions. He was wrong. This office will not tolerate, and will vigorously prosecute, those who threaten to kill men and women who dedicate their lives to public service," stated United States Attorney Lynch. Ms. Lynch expressed her grateful appreciation to the United States Attorney's Office, Northern District of Illinois, for its cooperation and assistance in the investigation.
"Mr. McCrudden made bone-chilling and graphic threats against dozens of public officials," said Assistant Attorney General Breuer. "As this prosecution reflects, the Department of Justice will act swiftly to identify and prosecute anyone who attempts to retaliate against public officials. Public servants must be able to carry out their duties without fear of being targeted."
FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge Fedarcyk stated, "The conduct of McCrudden was way beyond mere speech. By his admission, he not only directly threatened to kill government and regulatory officials, but he also listed dozens of officials and offered a reward to others to kill them. This outrageous conduct is not only dangerous, but an affront to civil society."
When sentenced by United States District Judge Denis R. Hurley, the defendant faces a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years.
The government's case was prosecuted by Eastern District of New York Assistant United States Attorneys James McMahon and Christopher Caffarone, with the assistance of the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section in the Department of Justice's Criminal Division. The Office of International Affairs in the Department of Justice's Criminal Division also provided assistance in this case.
The Defendant:
Age: 50
The Department of Justice believes that it is important to keep victims/witnesses of federal crime informed of court proceedings and what services may be available to assist you.

Yolanda, the owner of Shear Delight & More salon and children's clothing store, is wrapping up her 11th annual toy drive for kids staying at the Midway Shelter for abused women and their families.
This year, collections haven't been as great as in years past. So, if you still have time to buy a toy — especially for kids 4 and younger — go ahead and drop it off unwrapped at 1505 Park Street.
One special item needed by those staying at Midway are nightlights that have Disney or other kid-friendly characters on them.
Cash and other monetary donations are also taken for the shelter. "Some people have justed walked in to give us $100 after going to the bank," Yolanda said.
Yolanda sells pre-used cloths to moms and others in need. And she donates her overflow to the shelther each two weeks. Some of the clothing is also given to young mothers who are attending Alameda or Encinal high schools.
The consignment shop gives some store credit to those community members who donate clothes and other items to the shop.
Shear Delight & More has lots more than clothing on its shelves. There's makeup and hair products, and the salon offers a full array of spa and other services, like haircuts and facials.
And if the holidays of '09-10 are too hectic, try and stop by during the year with donations or play to join next year's toy drive.
Thanks, Yolanda, for keeping the holiday spirit alive day after day, month after month and year after year.

Oslo, Norway (PRWEB) March 28, 2014
The company, commonly known as YAY Images, publicly announced the investment Wednesday. "We're happy that we've secured funding for marketing our new streaming technology. This is a new product which targets professional online users, a market mostly ignored by stock photo agencies", co-founder and CEO Linda L. Johannessen says. "In addition the investors represent very competent capital, which will guide the company".
The investment was made by Founders Fund, based in Oslo, Norway, and the investors include, among others, Opera Software founder Jon von Tetzchner, founder of Chipcon and Energy Micro Geir Førre, and former Funcom CEO Trond Aas.
With the explosive growth of image use online, and with stock agencies still getting most of their revenue from print-customers, YAY will capture an almost untouched market: Commercial image use online. "With millions of companies using the web to blog and interact with customers, we know this is an untapped market", Mrs Johannessen continues.
Using the streaming technology gives YAY the ability to track image use which they will use to provide copyright holders with a fairer payout scheme, as they now can get paid based on actual image views. "This changes how the industry thinks of royalties. Our technology will give the copyright holder the ability to track their work real-time and get paid for actual views" says co-founder and COO Jan Ole Kjellesvig. "We have thousands of photographers who soon will be able to see where and how their images are used."
YAY's streaming service, which has been called "Spotify for Images" by industry analysts, gives customers unlimited access to over 4 million images for $9.90 per month.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
This course focuses on the theories behind web fonts: what makes a good font, why different fonts look the way they do, and how fonts affect the look of a web page. Author Laura Franz covers common tasks, including downloading a font from an online source such as Typekit or Font Squirrel, implementing the font in HTML and CSS, and changing the size and line-height to improve the readability of text. The course also covers different periods of type design and explores the history behind handwritten fonts, text fonts (used for large amounts of text), and display fonts (used for headlines).
Now that we've picked a slab serif font, it's time to apply it to our Web page. In order to do this, we need to add Museo Slab to our Typekit, and then apply it to our site. We'll have to do it a bit differently this time, because we've already got two fonts in our trial plan kit. So first open up typekit.com, and sign in if you aren't already signed in. You can see we're at the Choosing and Using Web Fonts Kit; we have it selected. Now let's find Museo Slab, and click the button to add it to our kit, and you'll see a message pops up: With a Trial Plan, you may only use 2 fonts at a time.
So we need to remove a font from our kit. Let's launch our kit editor and remove one of the fonts. I'm going to remove Calluna, simply because it's not the most recent font that we used. You'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete it, and now we have only one font in our kit. Whichever font you delete will no longer work in the site you use this kit for, but you can always go back and add the font again if you want to use it.
We need to click Publish, so the change is published with Typekit, and they know to remove Calluna from our kit. Now that I've deleted Calluna, I want to show you a couple of things. First, something I find helpful. We can go and find Calluna, and we can add it to our Favorites, so if ever we want to add it back to our trial kit again, we can. It's now a favorite, and so if we go in Browse Fonts, and go to My Favorites, there's Calluna; it's just ready to be added right back to your kit, and you could do that right from this page.
The other thing that I want to show is, to be clear that Calluna will no longer work on previously made pages, let's open up a tab, and go to a previous page that we used Calluna on. Mine was at goodwebfonts.com/lynda. If I Refresh this page, and our page is still using Calluna, Typekit hasn't caught up with us yet. Sometimes it takes us few minutes for changes to take effect, even if we have clicked Publish. So we'll just have to wait a few moments, and try refreshing it again, and we can see that the page is no longer using Calluna.
If we zoom in, we can see that the crossbar on the e is no longer rising. The page has reverted to Georgia, which is our first fallback font. We'll go back to full size here. So, by removing Calluna from your kit, you've broken the link to it, and it no longer works. If you work with Typekit's trial plan, you need to keep track of what fonts you're using on your entire site, and don't plan to use more than two fonts at the same time.
There are currently no FAQs about Choosing and Using Web Fonts.

Est. April 2012
From the lakeside orchards on Niagara to the micro-climate grown groves of Collingwood and all the way to Prince Edward County, Ontario cider production is on the rise.
As the leading organization representing craft cider producers in Ontario, we aim to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and to further the discussion on matters relating to cider in Ontario. Our mission is to ensure that Ontario is recognized as a centre for cider excellence and innovation!
Learn more about the OCCA here .
Cider (pronounced: /ˈsaɪdər/ SY-dər) is a fermented alcoholic beverage made from apple or pear juice, but can also be flavoured with the juice of other fruits, such as peaches.
Pear cider is often called perry and is traditionally fermented with wild yeasts found on the fruit's skin
Ciders can be classified from dry to sweet. Their appearance ranges from cloudy with sediment to completely clear, and their colour ranges from light yellow through orange to brown.
In Ontario, cider usually has a 5-7% alcohol content.
Because it is made of fruit, not grain, cider is gluten-free.

Thanks for the info, Harry.
In this particular situation, I am building the SQL string to make a JDBC call, so I may not be able to use this command. The database I am connecting to is a DB2 database running on a Linux server. There is probably similar functionality that I could use within the DB2 client that I use to directly access databasee on this server.

Rooms now show wear and lack of upkeep. Scratches on desk and furniture. Peeling paint over tub, from prior leak above.
The room was huge.
The room was very dark. The bed was dirty - there were blood stains on the left bottom base! Scary. The bathroom was so dark, as was the majority of the apartment. There were no menus for room service, and their computer service was down, so I had to call twice to have them bring me a menu. Walls are thin; at 5am, I heard loud pounding noise above me. Wasn't sure if it was music or something else, but it was disturbing.I only stayed here because the W was fully booked. Otherwise, would not choose to stay here.

CFTR-Related Metabolic Syndrome (CRMS)
You or your child has been diagnosed with CFTR-Related Metabolic Syndrome (CRMS). CFTR stands for cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic (inherited) disease. CFTR is a protein made by the "CF gene" that acts as a channel to move salt in and out of the cells.
The diagnosis of CRMS means that you or your child does not have CF. However, there are several reasons why it is still important to have regular checkups with a doctor who is a CF specialist.
When a person has a sweat test that gives an intermediate (borderline) result or a genetic test that shows only one CF gene, he or she is said to have CFTR-related metabolic syndrome (CRMS).
Your doctor may give you or your child a diagnosis of CRMS if:
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic (inherited) disease. Genes give our bodies the instructions, or code, for all of our physical characteristics, such as eye color and whether our hair will be curly or straight.
Genes come in pairs. You receive one from your mother and one from your father. A change in the code in a gene is called a mutation. Some mutations don't cause any problems at all. Some can cause diseases like CF. People with CF have a disease-causing mutation in each of their two CFTR genes — one mutation inherited from their mother and one mutation from their father. Read more about CF Genetics here.
What are the symptoms of cystic fibrosis?
The CFTR gene controls the salt channels in skin. People with CF have mutations that cause their sweat to be very salty. The CF gene also controls the salt channels in the:
People with CF get thick and sticky mucus in these parts of the body. Because of this thick mucus, people with CF get:
What are the symptoms of CRMS?
Although we cannot clearly know the future health of a person with CRMS, he or she is likely to remain healthy. Some people with CRMS have problems in the airways or sinuses; the intestines and pancreas; or the reproductive tract. But we don't know how many people with CRMS do not have these problems.
You should see your regular doctor and possibly your CF specialist if you or your child has any of these symptoms:
What can we do to keep our child healthy?
If you or your child has CRMS, the best thing to do is to have regular checkups with a CF specialist so that any health changes or problems can be found early and treated quickly.
As is true for everyone, people with CRMS should not be around tobacco smoke. All people 6 months of age and older should receive an influenza vaccine every year in the fall.

Don't Hold Your Breath, Mr. Attendant
"Don't hold your breath."
That's what I told the attendant (a very nice man) at the Hooksett rest area. He knows me; I usually stop there once a week and pop inside to remove the crosswords puzzles from the Weirs Times and Hippo.
He also knows I'm a State Representative, and he asked me what the chances are of getting a pay raise (or at least a cost of living increase) this year.
That's when I uttered the response noted in the headline here.
However, after learning that Hooksett (unlike most rest areas) is actually open 24 hours a day, I hastened to add, "Just hope for no reduction in staff."
Had I known these rest areas are open 24 hours a day and had I been on Division II of the Finance Committee two years ago (I was on Division I), I might have recommended such a RIF. Do we really need to man these areas 24 hours, especially at times of the year when there is virtually no traffic?
I'm just asking. Of course, I'm not on Finance now and have not asked to be, but those are the kind of questions somebody really needs to ask.
When I travel (from Manchester to Montreal) in the evening or at night, I never expect a rest area to be open (one in Vermont might actually be open, but there are certainly none in Quebec).
At a time when Governor Elect Hassan apparently is asking for proposed budgets of three percent less than those passed by Republicans two years ago (and bitterly complained about by Democrats!), 24 hour service at Hooksett should, as they say on my favorite Food TV show, be on the chopping block.
Just to reiterate in case you missed it...and in case you, like me, only know what you read in the paper. The Concord Monitor, under the headline "Hassan seeks modest budget cut", reports that Hassan, fearing ramifications of the fiscal cliff, is asking department heads to prepare, by January 4, a budget for 2014 of only 97 percent of the 2013 level, a level which she herself condemned. The 2015 budget would be back up to the 2013 level.
Remember how Democrats of most ilks (from Raybo on down) were moaning and posturing about the "draconian" cuts which Republicans shepherded through in the last budget cycle?
How delicious is it that the very same Democrats might well now be asked to swallow a budget with three percent fewer dollars?
You just can't make this stuff up.
Here's one further revelation...even if the fiscal cliff is avoided, the state may well only be able to afford the 97 percent level! Run that up the Democratic flag and see who salutes it!
These are tough times and without new taxes, monies are not going to be available.
As State Representatives prepare to form their county delegations, they (we) should ask county budget planners to do the same thing Hassan is asking state department heads. Come in with three percent cuts; counties can ill afford to spend more, probably even more so since most of the dollars to spend county budgets come from city and town property taxpayers. Enough of this idea of conservatives in Concord becoming wild big tax and spenders at the county level!
I repeat...to anyone expecting more monies from the state..."Don't hold your breath."

Future of New Mexico's Oldest Theater Uncertain
By Whitney Jones
Las Cruces, NM – One of the only places to see independent, foreign and alternative movies in Las Cruces is now up for grabs. The one hundred and two year old Fountain Theatre in Mesilla is for sale and now the Mesilla Valley Film Society, who currently operates the movie house, has less than two weeks to purchase the building. As KRWG's Whitney Jones reports, several members of the community fear for the theater's future.

Go to the authorities? They are going to laugh all the way to the nearest donut shop. They have better things to do than apprehend someone for an I-phone theft.

SOUTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō Through the collaboration of South Kingstown High School students and University of Rhode Island landscape architecture seniors, the high schoolŌĆÖs landscape may take on a new shape in coming years.
PROVIDENCEŌĆöLegal representatives of the South Kingstown Chamber of Commerce (SKCC) and the Greater Westerly-Pawcatuck and Narragansett Chambers of Commerce met in court on Tuesday to present their statements regarding SKCCŌĆÖs name change to Southern Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce. A number of chambers in Washington County joined together in November to form the United Chambers of Southern Rhode Island and have filed a lawsuit against SKCC for the name change, deeming it a hostile maneuver to weaken the strength of chambers of commerce throughout southern Rhode Island
Though the fall college semester is coming to a close, it has not slowed news down at the University of Rhode Island. In today's paper, we have a story about how one East Greenwich's plans to introduce a bill has sparked debate across the state on whether campus police should carry guns.
We also have the story on President Dooley's proposed retirement incentive program for faculty and non-classified staff.
With the holidays fast approaching, the Courthouse Center for the Arts has begun its production of "Home for the Holidays", CCAŌĆÖs take on Christmas time.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō The Town of South Kingstown has requested the Coastal Resources Management Council to reclassify part of the Matunuck shoreline to allow for more protective measures for the eroding road.
The town seeks to reclassify the segment of shoreline south of Matunuck Beach Road to the Ocean Mist Bar from the existing Type 1 ŌĆ£coastal headlands, bluffs and cliffsŌĆØ designation to Type 2ŌĆ£manmade shorelinesŌĆØ classification. This will affect 11 properties along the road.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō Classrooms are leaving behind the dust clapped off chalkboard erasers and moving toward virtual desktops and N-computing. However, library media specialist at Peace Dale Elementary Martha Badigian said technology in the classroom is just another tool for educating students and does not replace the traditional paper and pencil.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō ItŌĆÖs round three in the fight for a fifth Class A liquor license in town.
Last Tuesday, Dec. 6, the owner of Village Liquors, a proposed 1,742 square foot wine boutique at South County Commons petitioned the state Department of Business Regulation liquor administrator for relief from its denial of a Class A liquor license. John Pagliarini, attorney and husband for the wine shop owner Susan Pagliarini of East Greenwich cited indiscretion, improper amendment procedures and notification.
The holidays are coming, but that hasn't slowed down the towns from moving forward in their plans.
In today's paper, we have a story about Narragansett Superintendent of Schools Katherine Sipala predicts for next year's school budget.
In South Kingstown, the town has also applied to reclassify the Matunuck shoreline from Type 1 to Type 2 to allow for the creation of manmade structures.
Village Liquors, the proposed wine boutique at South County Commons has filed suit against the South Kingstown Town Council for a fifth license.
All and more inside, today's The Narragansett Times.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō West Kingston residents can now rejoice. The north and south sides of the Dugway Bridge are reunited after the bridge reopened yesterday at 4 p.m.
Town Manager Stephen Alfred said Monday night the bridge is open to use by vehicles and small trucks.
NARRAGANSETTŌĆöThe town council held a motion to adopt the recently proposed ordinance which would allow the town to recoup ŌĆśresponseŌĆÖ costs at homes which police have engaged in multiple disturbances. Members of the public and representatives from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) were on hand Monday evening to express their support and reservations regarding the language and potential implementation of the ordinance.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō Executive Director of the Welcome House of South County Linda Barden sees an inequity of funding for homeless shelters in Washington County, a situation she predicts may lead some to freeze in their homes this winter.
For FY 2012, Welcome House received $40,000 from the Rhode Island Consolidated Homeless Fund (CHF). This amounts to $4,000 to $5,000 less than last year. The Welcome House of South County has been providing emergency shelter and transitional and permanent housing to homeless residents of Washington County since 1987.

php will 'try' to create the file. It is up to you to make sure the
underlying OS permissions are such that a file can be created and the
configuration of php is such that a file may be created.
I just tried it on my FC3 box with a local file in the dir, and a file in tmp,
with both modes, w and ab. No problem.
Look to filesystem permissions/ownership or php.ini

Rien à dire
came in good time
Good quick and efficient.
Easy to use site, good selection and quick delivery.
Great service
really great and good value will use again.
Competitive prices, good discounts. Speedy delivery service which was free. Email confirming order delivered and signed for, which acts as an alert if you had not received the goods. I have used this Company before and would definitely use them again.
Good but was not updated with order after dispatch which was annoying as was delivered on the 5th working day and there was no hyperlink to any tracking for standard delivery like it says on the help page. Helpline were very helpful in tracking my order for me
as described
Have used for years, have converted the son in law to it as it is for his Christmas box
Always good service and brilliant prices!
Love it one of the best new ones out now
Took longer than I thought to deliver. I have used other sites and they deliver within 48 hours. Not a major problem though.

The "Cloud" is everywhere. Hot start-ups are cloud-based. Most high technology firms are talking about their cloud solutions or at least their plans for it. Even consumers are using cloud-based tools for storing their music and photos. But engineers are taking a more cautious approach. This is partially based on concerns around security, but also because of a lack of understanding of what capabilities are really available, and what needs to be done to actually run an application in a cloud environment.
For this discussion, let's just focus on Public Clouds. There are very few engineering applications available today as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). This means that, in most cases, using a Public Cloud will require the enterprise to contract with a service provider, such as Amazon Web Services or Rackspace Public Cloud, to serve their applications from the cloud. But doing so requires numerous considerations on how to get the target application(s) actually running in such a cloud and whether its a good idea in the first place. We will focus on the technical issues, leaving business issues, such as pricing, out of the discussion for now.
Security is probably the first issue any company must consider when contemplating using a public cloud. This is because proprietary data will be loaded onto a computer which is outside of the corporate firewall. (A private cloud addresses this situation). Security in the public cloud can be broken down into several general categories:
- Data encryption during transfer back and forth
- Access to the public cloud while sensitive data is stored on it
- Virtualization and the actual storage of data
Most public cloud providers offer some level of security, but based on the level of service you are contracting, you may have to "bring your own". For instance, with Rackspace, you can purchase their base level "Cloud Server" package, in which they offer a Linux-standard firewall. If you want something more secure, you would need to provision your own security package at the time of setting up the environment. In general, the consensus in the community is that public cloud security is improving, but probably not ready for your most sensitive data.
The next issue is around performance. There are several performance-related issues, including the latency to and from the cloud; throughput of your application; and overhead in setting up and removing your data and results. If your application runs primarily in a "batch" mode, meaning there is no user interaction once the application is started, then throughput may be the primary concern. But total turnaround time could be a big consideration if the data size is large: a fast run-time may be outweighed by the process of transmitting the data. Carefully consider these aspects of your application when considering putting it in the cloud.
A final issue is the licensing of your application. Many software vendors have restrictions about the usage of the software with respect to geography, users, and equipment. For instance, the software license may state that the software may only be used on a particular site within your company, or maybe just on the company intranet. There may also be restrictions for using the software on virtual machines, and in most cases, public cloud companies are utilizing virtualization technologies. Some software vendors are modifying their software licenses to deal with public clouds, but many of the applications you use today probably have a fairly old software license, and as such don't address this type of usage. Check with your software vendor to make sure you understand their policy.
In conclusion, there are many reasons to take advantage of cloud resources, but there are several important technical issues to make sure you have resolved before you move to the cloud.

Are you counting down the days to the first college game of the season? Starkville is brimming with excitement for our first home game and the start of tailgate season. For seasoned tailgaters, the counting down of days is much like the excitement of Christmas coming. While I understand nothing about the sport of football, I love a good party and a good tailgate might be my favorite.
My friends Nikki Buss, and her husband John, are accomplished tailgaters. They mastered this art long before we knew each other. There are two things that you can count on at every home game: corn dip and sliders. I'm not sure which I anticipate more.
When heading out to campus, one can always spot the tailgating pros. These are the people that set up early and well relaxed in their favorite chair long before kickoff. These are the people lounging in front of their generator powered TVs and grills going. I think it is one of the best ways to spend a Saturday in Starkville. If you are not a Bulldog native, make it your goal to come out just one Saturday. You'll be hooked. And yes, it is great fun, even for the football impaired.
At every tailgate, there are rules involved. In case no one has ever explained this rule to you, don't take Nikki's chair. It is not up for grabs. She might, however, determine that she likes your chair better than her own and take yours. Trust me, if this transaction occurs, don't try reclaiming your territory. Fair or not, she did bring the corn dip!
Every week, somewhere between setting up and hearing an unnamed person ask, "Who's winning?" both the sliders and corn dip are gone. And so goes another Saturday.
As you gear up for the first game, the recipe below is for the Nikki's dip that she so graciously shared. John keeps his slider recipe a little more under lock and key. So, I'll leave that to you. But you can take this dip that might become your group's new staple. Whip up a batch, pick out your favorite chair and head out to campus for that first home game. Go Dawgs!
Corn Dip
1 can of Fiesta Corn, drained
1/2 cup mayo
1/2 cup sour cream
3 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated
green onions, to taste
salt to taste
Mix all ingredients above and chill overnight. Serve with your favorite corn chip. Frito's Scoops seem to be a favorite. You may also want to serve this in a container with ice underneath to keep it cool before the weather starts to turn.

2010 TG Awards: GT of the Year
The new Bentley Continental GT: not a revolutionary car, but still an absolutely class act
Posted: 07 Jan 2011
With the sunshine levering open every shadowy nook, second impressions are that new Conti is actually quite a lot different from how it appeared in the initial pictures and, once you've had a bit of time to stare, much more detailed than you first think. Bentley has used the same aluminium 'Super Forming' technique it used on the Mulsanne (where single sheets of ally are heated to 500° centigrade and then formed using air pressure) for the GT's complex front wings and boot, and paid more attention to the sharpness of the creases throughout the rest of the body. Curves are more pronounced, creases are knife-edged, especially over the double-curvature of those front wings and the hip over the rear wheels. The result is a much tauter, more sculpted look, even though the profile of the car is almost exactly the same as before.

Really? So better lighting models don't improve on graphics? Are you really going there? Are you quite sure about what you've just said? You'll want to see the difference in lighting in for example a game like Quake and newer Unreal Engine 3 games, makes a hell of a lot of difference in how graphics are perceived. A lighting model is a VERY large part of the graphical interpretation of a rendered 3D world.
It's local variation computation on that steamed lighting model that makes all the difference. You see it clearly demonstrated in that video and isn't possible done in real time locally as it requires too much computing power to track individual photonic traces.
The main difference between Quake and Unreal Engine 3 isn't in the lighting.

Providing Education on Breastfeeding
Many pregnant women are not encouraged to breastfeed their baby. As health providers, we need to strive to encourage more mothers to breastfeed. As soon as a woman begins her prenatal care, breastfeeding education should be provided consistently and continuously during the prenatal visits.
Healthy child development habits begin before birth. One proven strategy for reducing the risk of obesity early in life is to support breastfeeding. Experts agree we need to increase the number of health care facilities that encourage mothers to
- feed their babies breast milk only for the first six months of life, and
- start feeding solid foods to their babies at six months while continuing to breastfeed until the 12th month.

DeSean Jackson Knows Who His "Real Homies Are"
News Desk
Follow @ SportsTalkFLA
In an interview with DJ Skee, Jackson said that the funniest part about all of the hype surrounding him is that his teammates love him.
"…The people that really know me, they're like 'Man where is all this coming from?'" Jackson said, via Dan Steinberg of theWashington Post. "I had teammates texting me and hitting me up, teammates that's still on the Eagles right now, like 'What were they talking about you ain't a team guy, you don't get along with people in your locker room?' Everybody in the locker room loved me, you feel me?"
He went on to say that he "knows who his real homies are" and LeSean McCoy is one of them. He says that when you're in the NFL, many people are afraid to speak up because they are afraid to get cut.
It's because of that, Jackson salutes the players who stand up for what they believe in.
Unfortunately, his former Eagles teammates loved him, not coach Chip Kelly…

Today in Mobile
The social networking app Path is making unwanted headlines this morning after a developer discovered it surreptitiously uploads users' contact information to the company's servers. This isn't exactly unprecedented, of course — Hipster was recently found to be doing something similar — and Path's CEO quickly claimed the data is used only to make it easier for users to find friends and family. "Nothing more." I don't have any reason to doubt that claim — not yet, at least — but what Path is doing with that information is less important than the fact that it's quietly gleaning it in the first place. That's why my colleague Mathew Ingram is absolutely right when he urges app developers to tell users everything rather than having to put out fires when it's eventually discovered.

Rabbi/stand-up comic to perform at Rutland Jewish CenterBy MARTHA MOLNAR
Special to the Herald | January 18,2013PROVIDED PHOTO
Rabbi Bob Alper, a stand-up comedian, will perform Sunday at the Rutland Jewish Center. Tickets are $18 in advance, $22 at the door. For more information, call 773-3455.Theres a reason why Sirius/XM Satellite radio plays East Dorset resident Rabbi Bob Alpers comedy bits several times daily, often sandwiched between Bob Newhart and Bill Cosby: Alpers unique background.
Hes an ordained rabbi who served congregations for 14 years and holds a doctorate from Princeton Theological Seminary, which prepared him well for a 26-year comedy career with unique material (including jokes about the Rutland airport), presented in a way thats intelligent, sophisticated, and 100 percent clean.
Alper, who calls himself the worlds only practicing clergyman doing stand-up comedy intentionally, will bring his wholesome brand of comedy to the Rutland Jewish Center on Sunday, Jan. 20 at 7 p.m. He said his 90-minute routine is meant to entertain the entire community. His brand of comedy has been called Gentile friendly.
Alpers wit is dry, insightful and based on observations of life and everyday experiences.
Its really not worth it to make anyone sad. Im blessed with a tremendous amount of material, so why do it? I wont poke fun at peoples physicality or infirmities, but I will poke fun at people who do stupid things, he says.
Alper began his comedy career in 1986 when he entered the Jewish Comic of the Year Contest at the Going Bananas club in Philadelphia. Today, he performs nearly 80 shows a year. Last month he performed at the world-famous Comedy Store in Los Angeles, following earlier appearances at Hollywoods Improv and the Montreal Comedy Festival, on Good Morning America, The Today Show, Showtime, the BBC, and CNN and earlier, on Muslimfest 2009 (this is not a joke).
About performing with a Muslim, he explains that we do our own thing and then talk together, the message being we model our friendship not just from being on stage but as true friends, Alper said of comic, Azhar Usman, a Muslim of Indian heritage. Were an odd couple; Im 63, hes 32. The only thing we have in common is both of us are exceptionally good-looking.
The author of two books Life Doesnt Get Any Better Than This and A Rabbi Confesses he has also produced two best-selling comedy CDs, and a 102-minute DVD, What are you a comedian? He lives in East Dorset with his wife Sherri, a psychotherapist.
I make people laugh, while she helps people cry, he says.MORE IN Local & StateRecovery takes time, patience and a desire to change.

Rated 3.3 out of 5Â by 3 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5Â by dallasdiva Weird I got into a fitting room with these, but didn't even bother trying them on. I like sequin shorts, but the sequins are comically large, and kinda hurt! I realized that they'd be poking at my legs, and also realized that any fallen off sequin would be instantly noticeable. For what it's worth, in person these appeared quite small, and I grabbed an 8 instead of my usual 6 to try on. I really can't say if they'd have fit, but I did want to share my observations of these in person. If the sequins had been smaller, I'd have been all over them! So impractical. 6.15.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Byrdie Disco Shine Great shorts. The sequins are huge and need to be smoothed down, but they are unique enough to give a try. They aren't booty shorts short, however I will wear them with tights. They will look so cute in the place of trousers with a coat and button down shirt. These will be my festive holiday shorts. 9.27.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Karelle Fitting Not So Hot The shorts were fabulous, however, the fitting was a bit too roomy. That also may be my fault because I'm really tiny, and I usually wear a 00 or a 0. For the most part 0's usually fit me fine, and pretty well actually. But these "Drop It Like It's Hot" shorts were a bit too roomy for me. Still love the shorts, but I do have to get them altered. 9.26.2012

Wheel could turn full circle for Brigg premises with cars back on show
Posted: January 23, 2013|
The wheel could be turning full circle at one of the most prominent business premises in Brigg
For planning permission is being sought to change the use of the building formerly occupied by United Carpets and undertake car sales.
If approved by North Lincolnshire Council, the building will revert to a former use, as up to about 30 years ago it former part of W A Sass, major car dealers.
It was later occupied by another company in the same line of business.
The Bigby Road building is close to the Monument (war memorial) roundabout, the busy A18 and the A1084, meaning it is passed every day by thousands of motorists.
Martin Robinson, of Somerby, has lodged the application for planning consent.
It is proposed that six people will be employed within the premises.
North Lincolnshire Council is welcoming comments on the application until February 14.
United Carpets traded from these premises until last month, following which the building was placed on the market for sale or rent.

The theory of electromagnetic waves in a homogeneous plasma is reviewed. The linear response of the plasma to the waves is obtained in the form of the dielectric tensor. Waves ranging from the low frequency Alvén to the high frequency electron cyclotron waves are discussed in the limit of the cold plasma approximation. Bernstein waves are briefly treated as an example of waves in finite temperature plasmas.

Drinking as little as half a pint of beer per week during pregnancy can cut a baby's intelligence by several IQ points. This may be enough to make a difference to the child's prospects, suggest researchers who have finally teased out the true relationship between moderate drinking in pregnancy and its affect on an unborn child.
Current UK guidelines offer pregnant women the following advice on alcohol consumption: either stop completely, or if you do drink, don't consume "more than 1 to 2 units of alcohol once or twice a week". A unit is a small glass of wine, shot of spirits, or half a pint (250ml) of standard beer.
But the evidence underlying these recommendations is mixed. While the damaging impact of heavy drinking on fetal development is well-known, studies of moderate drinking have given contradictory results. Relationships between drinking and IQ, especially, are often confounded by social differences that influence both IQ and drinking behaviour. For example, some studies found that children of mothers who drank moderately had higher IQs than children of abstainers – but then it turned out moderately drinking mothers are more likely to have higher IQs.
Genetic mutations
Ron Gray at the University of Oxford and colleagues got round this by studying the effects of genetic mutations in alcohol dehydrogenase genes. These mutations slow the breakdown of alcohol. Humans carry several dehydrogenase genes and differ in the number of mutations that they contain – from none to 10.
The more of these mutations that a fetus has, the more slowly it will break down alcohol that its mother drinks. So if alcohol reduces IQ, it should be lowered in children with more mutations, and that in turn should be independent of social variables. The mutations should have no effect, however, if a mum hasn't drunk any alcohol.
In 2000 Gray's team tested the IQ of eight-year-olds from 4167 mums surveyed for their drinking behaviour when pregnant in 1991 and 1992. DNA samples from the participants have only recently been tested for dehydrogenase gene mutations, as DNA analysis has improved and funding agencies have taken more interest.
School achievement
Children with four or more of the mutations averaged 3.5 points lower on a standard IQ test than children with 2 or fewer – but only if their mothers drank 1 to 6 units per week during the pregnancy. No such difference was seen in children of non-drinkers, regardless of their genes.
The mothers' genotype had almost no impact on the IQ results, suggesting that the effect has little to do with how fast the mum breaks down alcohol, and everything to do with how the fetus handles it.
So how much difference do a few IQ points make? "Research is showing that even small differences in IQ correlate with socio-economic achievement," says Gray. To get a better idea of the long-term effects, the team are studying school achievement in the same children.
And what effect might that single glass of champagne during a second trimester have had? "There's probably no way we could ever determine whether such a low dose has an effect or not," says Gray. "But now we know moderate alcohol does affect IQ. If you have a choice, why risk it?"

"People would tell me about different psychiatrists to take him to. The best person to send him to was J," Mark Hardy said. "The only person he could talk to was his brother. No one in the world could have gotten him through that like J did. At the same time, J looked around and thought, 'My problems are pretty small.'"
Together again
The J.J. Hardy whom Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts has gotten to know over the past four weeks is always smiling, looking to engage in conversation or beat another teammate as the clubhouse's reigning pingpong champ. Roberts had heard about what a great guy his new double-play partner was from friends around the league, and Hardy has certainly been as advertised.

The Colonel third update, bg overhaul...almost done!
This is probably one of the first things I've worked on after some extensive color and lighting studies, so I'm kinda ancy and would greatly appreciate if someone could help address what needs fixing or changing before I march on from here. Proportions and foot position are another concern of mine as well. Oh - in case your wondering what the hell is going on back there in the bg I plan on turning the strokes in the background into a sort of drapery . Anyways, much appreciated for any input as to where to go from here.
I figure I repost the second update in the op for an easier comparison.

Neat. Effective, and pretty convincing. The upper background section is getting in the way, and is distracting, so I would change that.
The figure in general is pretty good. I see no real proportion problems, and his pose fits the character well. I know what kind of pants he wears, but that angle on his left leg looks too dramatic. It might be a little too large. The only other thing is the sunglasses. Does not say Colonel to me. Says african militia. Colonel would be a barett or some kind of communication apparatus.
Other than those minor quirks, I think it looks really good.

It's looking great! I think you managed to capture a slight sci-fi feel, which is impressive since there are no obvious elements pointing in that direction.
There's just a few things that need fixing at this point, far as I can tell. Mainly, his left legs bends too much at the knee, as Duman remarked. Secondly, I don't think the foreshortening/angle on his lower left arm is working; it looks wonky. Try elongating it a bit and straightening it out - this naturally means you need to push back his elbow so that the angle between his lower arm and upper arm is wider.
Hope you understand that explanation Good luck!

Actually I quite like the looseness of the BG.
As for the figure - not a lot wrong in my opinion, perhaps a tad short in the lower leg, especially the left leg (though everyone varies to some degree).
I think your 'jack boots' come up to high, but maybe that's personal choice.
The hanging cloth on the left is a distraction, it kind of looks like an empty sleeve (obviously you're working on this so I'll see where you take it)
Looks good, I like the Greek styling to it. Perhaps you could echo that in his walking stick (something Columnular maybe)
Redline to 7 1/2 heads
(these are JMO feel free to ignore )
December 8th, 2008 #5
thanks a ton for the feedback guys. Duman and Benjaminba, good job pointing that stuff out for me on the elbow and leg, I knew something was a bit off. And Venger, you rock for the paintover, and great idea with the column/cane

I love the hoplite floor, I'll borrow that idea if I may?
Little ideas for some smaller details:
a laurel wreath running around his shoulder epaulette, rather than rope (more Ancient Greek stuff)
Maybe the jack boots are more 'greaves' or are tooled leather.
Medals shaped like Hoplons (shield) or Helmets.
just thoughts.
December 11th, 2008 #7
thanks again for all the feedback so far guys. Here's an update, although I had got much of a chance to work on it at all as much as I would have liked. Still alot of refinement and fixes needed.

He might need some shadow to ground him on the groundplane and even though I sketched it that way that left heel needs to rise just a bit (JMO)
wouldn't his hand be on the holster rather than behind?
Is he chewing on a match or am I seeing things?
Looking great though.
December 12th, 2008 #9
This is coming along nicely. I think I like him facing the way you had it the first time. it made him look more forboding. this is because we read left to right (in the western world) it's used in theatre and staging as well.(or is he a good guy?...)
December 12th, 2008 #10
Venger, your seeing things bud! Although that could be a cool addition. The lack of shadow was the first thing I noticed. And it is indeed looking better, the background works very well now. Just adding the last few detailed touches to the holster and clothing pieces and its looking gold. Really nice job with the face.
December 14th, 2008 #11
ok, you got me seriously considering adding in a toothpick or something heres another meager update. Finals are finally over with so hopefully this wont be drawn out much longer. I added a hat, figure it would help give some balance or something. a positive addition? thanks again for the input so far.

December 14th, 2008 #13
What, venger, don't like handle bar mustaches? I have always been a fan of peaked hats like that. However, I think the hat and glasses clash, like two different styles, the 90's and 40's clashing. And the bill comes down over his face too much.

getting started in ms
hello to all! i think i have found the right place! i have been wanting to build some type of grill/oven from masonry for some time but havent been able to settle on a design. my main uses would be grilling/baking/smoking. in that order. i feel sure after i have an oven that pizza would be high on the list. after looking at some of the recipes on this sight it appears that all can be done with a brick oven. any advice from you guys on which design to make would be much appreciated. i would like to have a moderate heat up time so i could use it through the week but i would also like to have enough thermal mass to cook thinks such as venison hams,beef briskets,and pork roast. i would also like to have the entrance large enough to allow me to grill steaks and chops. i have read where a short grill is used inside the oven with the coals underneath and it appears to work well. once again i am in the design stages and all advice and opinions would be greatly appreciated. i promise to continue to read and learn more. i am not looking to be spoon fed. although i have never laid a brick before. i will try not to ask to many rookie questions. thanks so much and i look forward to being part of this wonderful sight!
Re: getting started in ms
Ricky, Just like you , 4 1/2 years ago I didn't know what a wood fired oven was. I am sure the master builders as well as the other oven builders will help you here. Everyone had the same reason for building one GREAT PIZZA First then to grilling, you can cook anything in a wood fired oven. As I really can't help you with the oven building itself from scratch, I can help you in other area's. At my location in Nothing AZ I plan to add a wood fired BBQ uint which I will Build from scratch along with a Wood Fired oven. It may be one of James ovens as I installed one of his in my Mobile Wood Fired PizzaTrailer. Or it may be an oven from Pete or another oven Importer.But the one thing that I found out is that findind all the materials, well most of the time is a chore in itself. I am working on a one stop shopping kit. It will even have the fire bricks pre cut at the basic angles needed along with refractary products, even castable refractary for decks and arches, feel free th email me any time, well I'm off to writing my post for help from the oven builders, to gather material lists so I can offer standard or custom kits for the new oven builders.

Lawyer: Gays denied right by marriage ban
SAN FRANCISCO -- The landmark federal trial over the constitutionality of California's gay marriage ban resumed Wednesday, with a lawyer arguing that supporters of the ban were trying to deprive same-sex couples of a relationship the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized as a fundamental right.
Former U.S. Solicitor General Theodore Olson delivered the closing argument for the two same-sex couples who sued to overturn voter-approved Proposition 8, claiming it was a violation of their civil rights.
Olson told Chief U.S. Judge Vaughn Walker the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly recognized marriage as a fundamental right -- one afforded to prisoners serving life sentences and child support scofflaws -- while refusing to make procreation a precondition of marriage, as evidenced by laws allowing divorces and contraception.
Ala. prof charged in brother's 1986 shooting death
CANTON, Mass. -- A biology professor charged with killing three of her colleagues at an Alabama university has been indicted in the 1986 shooting death of her brother in Massachusetts, prosecutors announced Wednesday.
Authorities had originally ruled that the shooting of Amy Bishop's brother was an accident, but they reopened the case after Bishop was charged in February with gunning down six of her colleagues at the University of Alabama-Huntsville, killing three.
Bishop, 45, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her 18-year-old brother, Seth, Norfolk District Attorney William Keating said.
Keating said he did not understand why charges were never brought against Bishop.
''I can't give you any explanations, I can't give you excuses, because there are none,'' he said.
Police: NY jail guard killed uncle and ex-girlfriend
EAST MEADOW, N.Y. -- An off-duty jail guard shot and killed her former girlfriend outside a hospital, then went to a relative's nearby home, where she killed her uncle, wounded her 88-year-old grandfather and took a niece hostage, police said Wednesday.
Kim Wolfe, a longtime Nassau County correction officer, was scheduled to be arraigned today in connection with the shooting rampage. It was not immediately clear whether she had a lawyer; specific charges were to be announced at the arraignment.
Wolfe, 43, was also briefly hospitalized after she complained of difficulty breathing but was later released back into police custody.
Vermont man given 22 years for molestation
BURLINGTON, Vt. -- A Vermont man convicted of drugging and then molesting a 13-year-old girl at his house for a sleepover with his daughter has been sentenced to 22 years in prison.
Fifty-one-year-old Robert Kolibas was convicted in March of assaulting his daughter's friend at his Williston house after serving her a spiked smoothie.
Vermont District Court Judge Michael Kupersmith called the crimes despicable at the Wednesday sentencing. He said Kolibas tried to blame others and that he has no reason to think Kolibas will ever be rehabilitated.
Kolibas maintains his innocence, and the defense plans to appeal the conviction. He also faces child pornography charges.
Senate approves extension of home tax credit
WASHINGTON -- The Senate on Wednesday approved a plan to give homebuyers an extra three months to finish qualifying for federal tax incentives that boosted home sales this spring.
The move by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid would give buyers until Sept. 30 to complete their purchases and qualify for tax credits of up to $8,000. Under the current terms, buyers had until April 30 to get a signed sales contract and until June 30 to complete the sale.
The proposal, approved by a 60-37 vote, would only allow people who already have signed contracts to finish at the later date. About 180,000 homebuyers who already signed purchase agreements would otherwise miss the deadline.
