Kris Jenner: Kardashian divorce 'wasn't a sham ... we don't have to make things up'
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Kris Jenner, mom to Kim Kardashian, appeared on "The Today Show" Wednesday (Nov. 2) to promote her new book, but she also talked about the Kim Kardashian-Kris Humphries divorce, of course.
"I wrap my arms around her, I'm there for her through thick and thin," says Jenner.
When Ann Curry asks her if the wedding was all a sham for TV, Jenner says, "It makes me feel sad that some people are reacting that way. Certainly wasn't a sham. Certainly wasn't something for TV. We have enough going on on our show that we don't have to make things up."
"One of the rumors is we sold the television rights for millions of dollars - not true. She profited from the wedding - absolutely false," Jenner continues. "They made some money for the pictures that were sold, but at the end of the day that went towards the wedding. Kim had to pay a great deal of money at the balance that was owed for the wedding, which she was happy to do because that was her fairytale wedding."
Curry asks Jenner how much they made on their wedding pictures, in the interest of full disclosure. Jenner says, "It was less than a million dollars and more than half a million dollars and all of that went in toward the wedding ... We were all paid to do our television show just like any other episode."
As for how Kim is feeling right now, Jenner says she's "not here to be [Kim's] personal spokesperson." But goes on to say, "She feels like she's let a lot of people down. She's sick about it. She just had to come out and say, 'Look, I made a mistake and I feel terrible.'"
"I told Kim, 'You're not the first person to ever get a divorce and you won't be the last," Jenner continues. She also adds that these types of weddings are not foreign to her family.
"Khloe got married in nine days and everyone went, 'Oh goodness, that is so fake. That's not real.' Meanwhile, two years later I've never seen two people more in love," Jenner points out. "And Bruce and I met and married within five months and 20 years later, you know, we're still married. I had no reason to believe that Kim, after six months, wouldn't work out because the rest of us have done it that way."
Jenner also addresses some of the rumors about the ring.
"It wasn't a $2 million ring ... It was less than half of that. Some of these reports are so outrageous and everybody gets so carried away," says Jenner. As for what Kim will do with the ring, Jenner says, "It's none of my business because it was a gift."
So there you have, Pop2it readers. What do you think?

The HotSpot - Spy Party - 1/25/12
Spore creature creator Chris Hecker joins The HotSpot to talk game design and his intrigue-heavy new indie game.
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
@Hirasugi Yeah, it's 2am right now and i'm only 23 minutes in so I won't finish it tonight. But the pure enthusiasm he has for this game is holding my attention, I'm just loving how excited he is by the game
great show. Very honest game design discussion that we simply don't see a lot of in this industry- save the occasional post-mortem Yes the man speaks quickly and goes over an ocean of content, but his enthusiasm alone kept me attentive (as well as the subject matter). I don't really understand the hate this feature is getting ...
This is the first time I couldn't listen to an episode back to back. Had to stop after ~35 minutes and finish it the day after. Don't get me wrong. I loved this episode, and Chris is a really smart, and nice guy. But he just talks sooooo much. I mean COME ON, stop loving to hear yourself talk dude. For %¤#" sake, see someone about that ego, or get off the coke! I will probably love the game though.
Sorry, but I had to quit @ 25 minutes, just couldn't take it anymore. The whole episode is about this game?
@TomM_GScom we know they're James Bond actors. I think what avidgamer1 meant is the weird assignment. Everyone knows Tom Mc Shea is the Sean Connery of Gamespot, not Kevin Vanord :P
Awsome show, Chris sure likes to talk =), I laugh so hard at the end god, one of the best of all time.
@TomM_GScom i know i just found it interesting that they did that
@avidgamer1 They are the names of actors who portrayed James Bond. The spy? That may have been too subtle.
Holy hell he can talk
and timothy dalton under tom
and Sean Connery under Kevin Vanord
why does it say Pierce Brosnan, Gamespot under his name haha

I loved playing with LEGO Bricks as a kid. I made castles and houses. I know that it sounds incredibly boring, but that's what I loved to build. What I didn't like was stepping on the pieces or how easily they could get lost. Bloxy helps to solve both problems by providing you an opportunity to build your creations digitally.
This is my jailhouse. It took me about 20 minutes to build. Normal people would have it done in about 10 minutes. I'm just slow at these things. Even so, I enjoyed picking out the bricks and the patterns that I wanted to use. Unlike LEGO Bricks in real life, these are more easily customized.
First, there's the awesome menu layout. Say goodbye to digging around in a bucket to find that one perfect piece. Now, you have all the pieces you could want and as many of them as you could need. If I wanted to build a garden out of those singular cylinder pieces, I could. I wouldn't, but I could.
Next, you can choose which type of color or pattern you want you piece to be. There are patterns like brick or stone, or you can choose from a wide variety of colors. You can also edit which background you use.
Dropping blocks is a simple double tap. If you happen to make a mistake, you only have to hold the brick for two seconds. In the lower left corner, there's a picture of a block. Tap on the one with a garbage can, and you can delete the offending block.
If your app should happen to stop responding to your editing commands, just close it completely. It'll save your work, and will work properly once you open it back up.
Although the app is universal, it was easier to use on the iPad. I have normal sized fingers. Using the iPhone keyboard is never a problem for me. However, the size of the blocks on the screen meant having to zoom in to make any minute changes. The editing and building tasks were much easier on the iPad's larger screen.

TSTC PD Receive Hands-on Training
Friday, October 4, 2013
Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) training Coordinator Larry Frye knows his way around a fight.
And for three days last week, he used his expertise from over 30 years in law enforcement to train the Texas State Technical College Police Department and other law enforcement agencies from the Valley how to handle disruptive students.
Aside from TSTC PD, Brownsville ISD PD, Harlingen PD, La Joya ISD PD and some TSTC staff and faculty took part in the three-day training session.
"We went from teaching them how to handle one disruptive student to facing a situation where two students are fighting," Frye said. "From there, we train them how to handle a situation if a student is armed and pointing a weapon at them."
The trainees received a certificate on the third day and Frye said they would be required to train every three years in order to remain certified.
"We train them in order that no one gets hurt when they handle a situation," Frye said. "Many times in the past, student or the officers themselves have gotten hurt because of how they handle the individual. What we're teaching them here, is how to go about it in a safe way and still get the situation under control."
This is the first time TEEX has provided this type of training at TSTC. Frye said TSTC PD Police Chief Aurelio Torres contacted him and later handled the promoting of the training by notifying local law enforcement and educational agencies.
"We're not here to train them how to handcuff or tie someone up," Frye said. "We don't dog pile anyone. Some people will tie up students or sit on them until backup arrives. We don't do that."
Frye and his group have conducted trainings with the Harlingen ISD, Laredo United ISD and the Brownsville ISD in the past.

Abuja — The Federal Government yesterday said it would soon convene a national religious conference to address the constant religious crisis bedevilling the nation.
The Vice President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, disclosed this at the 47th Independence Anniversary Celebration Interdenominational Church Service at the National Christian Centre, Abuja.
The decision follows latest crisis in Tudun Wada Local Government area of Kano State where youths were said to have unleashed terror on Christians living in the area.
Over nine people have been reported killed while churches and houses owned by Christians have allegedly been burnt down. Shops belonging to Igbo traders were reportedly set on fire while three pastors have been arrested and kept in custody.
The action is said to be as a result of speculations that a Christian teacher in the area drew a cartoon considered offensive to Muslims and displayed it in his room.
Reacting to the incident, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) yesterday warned that Christians would "no longer tolerate any attack on its members".
At the church service in Abuja, the Vice President said no nation can develop economically and otherwise with constant instability, as no investor would put his money in an unstable economy.
He said, "The President has asked me to use this occasion to plead with religious leaders, Christians and Muslims to preach and teach that people should learn to live together in peace and harmony. The religious intolerance that we have observed is coming up again must be addressed. We implore the religious leaders to preach peace and harmony.
"The government will soon call a meeting of all religious leaders for us to brain-storm, maybe lock ourselves up in one room for a whole day to come up with a solution that will suppress these excesses of some fanatics. We believe that as a nation if we continue to do what we have been doing, if one religion continues to rise against the other and kills, maims and continues with the instability, we will not go anywhere. There is so much instability in the nation when a nation is not stable, nobody will want to invest in that nation.
"For us to grow economically, we need the private sector but the private sector will not be able to do anything if any particular community, local government, state or religion continues to rise against each other because each investor wants to see his investment grow."
Jonathan also pledged government's commitment to handling the affairs of the state with the fear of God. "For the President and myself we use this day that we are remembering the independence of this great country to pledge our total commitment to Nigerians that we will handle the affairs of the state with the fear of God.
"We may not be angels, we are ordinary mortals born in sin, who live in sin, but we have that commitment that we will do our best not to let Nigerians down. Our prayer is that God will give us the wisdom to do things that will bring glory to His name".
Reacting to the Kano incident, CAN National Secretary, Mr. Samuel Salifu, who spoke in Kaduna, asked government to prosecute the brains behind the violence "as Christians in the area are set to defend themselves against any form of attacks on them".
He said an internet cartoon emanating from a 20-year-old Muslim boy from Bangladesh had apparently sparked off the crisis.
Salifu said, "Information available to me is that almost all the churches within that local government area have been razed down and shops belonging to Christians have been razed down and in houses where they dwelled in, we have been told that they have been ejected and their property brought out and burnt.
"The information given was that they saw a cartoon on the internet and they still discover that this cartoon was drawn by a 20-year-old Muslim boy from Bangladesh and they decided to visit their anger on innocent Christians and their churches.
"I have been told that nine people including a youth corps member are confirmed dead and several others injured while the local government in a desperate attempt to cover pretended to be taking the victims to the hospital while in reality they sent some of the victims to Bauchi and some other places around so that people will not go there and see the number of destitute or refugees caused by this incident."
He said the Vice President had been informed. "I didn't even know that the President is back to the country from the US. I was told that he was at the passing out parade of the Nigerian Defence Academy on Saturday.
"Christians and Christian leadership are getting extremely worried because both the Christians leaders and Muslims have been holding series of meetings within and outside the Nigerian Inter Religious Council (NIREC) to see how to bring about peaceful coexistence between followers of the two religions."
He said the more "CAN continues to meet with Muslim leaders, the more some of these people eventually turn round and say they are no longer Muslims but hoodlums, but it is always they that attack our people unjustly.
"I don't know, if they don't have control over these people, then this NIREC meeting is going to look to me like a very useless meeting because we will meet, they will go and kill, we will meet, they will go and kill, then they turn round and say they are not proper Muslims. How is it that they cannot take care of their own people? We have hoodlums among the Christians too, but we don't allow them to go and kill anybody. So this issue of hoodlums are not limited to Kano or anywhere alone.
"We are pleading with the government to step in. I am directly telling President Yar'Adua because this may be a very good litmus test of his administration."
"So far, both Christians and Muslims in the country seem to appreciate what he is doing. But if he keeps quiet and talks about rule of law and doesn't try quickly to intervene in what is happening, then he will now begin to see that there is a different law running in this country because the Christians will not continue to watch while people just slaughter them as they like," he said.

NRDC on Global Warming in Sports
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Thursday | Listen to this entire show:
2 weeks ago, one of the nation's oldest and most respected sports magazines, Sports Illustrated, devoted its cover story to Global Warming and Sports.
The cover featured the Florida Marlins star pitcher, Dontrell Willis, standing in Dolphins stadium in Miami in knee deep water. One of the articles in the publication showed a map of what rising sea levels ultimately putting Tropicana Field and Raymond James Stadiums underwater in the future.
Eben Burnham-Synder is the Senior Communications Associate for Climate and Energy at the Nuclear Resources Defense Council, or NRDC.

Cambridge, Mass., May 10, 2004 — The MIT $50K Entrepreneurship Competition, a student-run business plan competition at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has announced that more than 80 companies, representing more than 1600 jobs and over $4 billion in valuation have been created in the $50K's 15-year history. These companies include Wall Street names like Akamai; companies that have been acquired by firms like Motorola, Broadcom and Ask Jeeves; as well as independent entities, aiming to be the next Wall Street darling. Students take away skills that have enabled them to start businesses later in their career and bring an entrepreneurial bent to whatever they do.
In addition to its success in company generation, the MIT $50K has also been involved in competition fostering. The MIT $50K Global Startup Workshop is held in a different country each year to train people from other competitions and share best practices. This year 220 people attended from 35 different countries, helping to expand entrepreneurship globally. The MIT $50K is a student-powered economic engine.
"Our competition itself is really our ultimate start-up," said Marcus Lopez, MIT $50K lead organizer and MIT Sloan student. "This student organization has had tremendous economic impact."
In addition to impact, the competition draws a lot of attention. Judges come from the fields of venture capital, patent protection, and entrepreneurship. Top people in the venture field follow and attend the competition, looking for good companies to fund.
Organizers credit the success of the $50K companies to several factors. The $50K has a unique combination of students from MIT Sloan, one of the nation's top management schools and MIT, the world's top science and engineering school. The competition also has a number of educational supports built in: workshops on patents, marketing and funding; entrepreneurship classes from the MIT Sloan School of Management, and detailed feedback and advice from the judges for each entry. Semifinalists are also offered professional mentors, often successful entrepreneurs, to guide them as they work through the process.
"The students have tremendous educational opportunities, both from the faculty and from student generated activities like the $50K," said MIT Sloan Dean Richard Schmalensee. "The fact that the competition is all student run is a testament to their creativity, drive and enthusiasm."
This year 127 teams with a total of 425 team members are competing to win, with $30,000 going to the top winner and $10,000 each to the runners up.
The group was whittled down to seven finalists on May 7:
The public is invited to the final awards ceremony, held from 7-9 pm on Wednesday, May 12, in Kresge Auditorium at MIT, opposite 77 Massachusetts Ave. In addition to a presentation from each finalist team, the keynote speaker will be Vinod Khosla, founder of Sun Microsystems.
The competition was founded as the $10K in 1989 when members of the Entrepreneurs Club of primarily technical students joined together with the management students from the MIT Sloan New Venture Association in their common area of interest. This brought both sides of campus together in a significant and powerful new way, one that ended up providing the catalyst for entrepreneurship activity at MIT. The MIT Entrepreneurship Center opened its doors a few years later and coursework at MIT Sloan and a host of new entrepreneurship-oriented clubs, workshops and activities have grown up around the competition, each area fostering the success of the others. The $10K was renamed the MIT $50K in 1996.
Governor Mitt Romney of Massachusetts will recognize May 12, 2004 as "Entrepreneurship at MIT Day" in honor of the competition and MIT's contributions to entrepreneurship and economic progress in Massachusetts.
A survey of 14 entrants from the first year of the competition shows the tremendous entrepreneurial bent of those who compete. After graduation, this small group founded 15 different companies and worked at a total of 32 early stage firms.
Mark Hansen, MIT Sloan MBA '91 and MIT Ph.D. in Mathematics, was an entrant the first year of the competition and was a founder of the first MIT $50K "alumni company," QDB Solutions, along with fellow MIT Sloan student Sam Levine. "This contest has had a big impact on my life. It convinced me that I could be successful as an entrepreneur. In 1991 I had a job offer from a top consulting firm which I turned down to co-found QDB. The $10K helped give me the confidence to turn down that firm." Since then, Hansen has started two additional companies. His entire career has been focused around company formation.
The MIT $50K Entrepreneurship Competition encourages students and researchers in the MIT community to act on their talent, ideas and energy to produce tomorrow's leading firms. The MIT $50K has awarded about $500,000 dollars in cash and business startup services to outstanding teams of student entrepreneurs who submitted business plans showing significant business potential. The Competition's refinement process, its network of mentors, investors and potential partners, and the cash prizes awarded, have helped many of these teams to act on their dreams and build their own skills, companies and fortunes.

Imagine a herd of cows.
Better yet, imagine a herd of dairy cows. They slowly roam about, with no aim or reason to their wanderings, for all of their food is only steps away. Yet, they seem unaware that they are walking in their own muck, unaware that they are in fact committing an act that is considered repulsive. They mosey along, all the while eating, pooping, and starting the irrevocable cycle that accompanies a life of repetitious behavior once again.
People are like these cows. Yes, eating and pooping are inevitable, but just like cows, people walk excruciatingly slow, often with absent-minded intentions. They gather in packs, making impenetrable straight lines and constantly unpredictable formations that suddenly stop and make it nearly impossible to pass or maneuver around.
Although I hate to admit it, I have not always been such a strong advocate for reasonably paced walking. I myself have found myself fall in the trap of apathetic meandering, especially prior to my coming to the crowded halls of Arizona State University. I would find myself shuffling my light feet and carousing with a group of friends right in the middle of the influx of people with no care in the world. But now, now I see the errors of my ways.
At Arizona State University, it is every man and woman for themself. I am not referring to the suicidal long boarders or even to the merciless bicyclists that prowl and clog up the crowded ASU sidewalks; I am speaking of the careless pedestrians. Those of you (I would say us but I no longer fall into this bothersome habit and tendency) that walk apathetically with no thought to your surroundings, in which you make strange formations for no other reason than you can, I am surprised alfalfa is not spewing forth from between your lips. For all that catches the attention of slow walking people is the day to day activities that possess their time: the fact that their phone is ringing, the fact that they have a text, the fact that their favorite song just came on their ipod. As soon as this has become realized, the little attention that the surroundings held is wiped away by the cellular device, the ipod, or the tasty alfalfa clenched tightly between their chubby fingers.
For every herd of cows however, there is always that one bull, that one bull that charges forward with speed and focus to its destination. That one individual being, which sees what it wants and charges forward with zeal and fervor, letting nothing come in its way.
I would consider myself one of those very sparse bulls. I know where I am going and I want to get there as fast as possible, no matter what is in my way. If you are a slow moving cow, make way, for I know where I am going and I want to get out of other peoples' way.

Magyar Telekom Drops After RSI Climbs to Highest Since April
Feb. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Magyar Telekom Nyrt., Hungary's former phone monopoly, fell from the highest in more than seven months as a technical indicator suggested the rally was overdone.
The shares fell 1 percent to 574 forint by the close in Budapest. Magyar Telekom's 1.2 percent jump yesterday pushed the stock's 14-day relative strength index to 73, the highest since April. A reading above 70 indicates to some technical analysts a security may decline. The RSI last stood at 68.

Statement of Significance (as of designation - April 27, 1992):
An important industrial community that spans the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, Rittenhousetown is the core of a village that grew up around the first paper mill (1690) in British North America. At one time the village included over 40 industrial, agricultural, institutional, and domestic structures; today, six houses and a barn survive.
There are no new threats, but potential damage from decroative trees with shallow root systems threaten the buildings.
A Historic Structures Report was conducted and a new period style roof was completed on one of the seven original buildings (the Jacob Rittenhouse Home at #209 Lincoln Drive).

Hey guys, many thanks for the input. Probably you're all right: I do grip tight the throttle, the grips are indeed hard.
Today I made an effort to have a more relaxed and less tense posture on the bike. It did work better. Not perfect, but postponed the numbness a bit. Can improve the position also. I think also a glove change is in order. I use all year, thin leather gloves. Think its time to change my Eska gloves.
I run the ProGrip gel grips on all of my motorcycles.
Any sugestion? There are so many varieties. Touring and paved road is 90% my riding (ok let's say 95%).
Getting medical here, your body mechanics could be putting pressure on your nerves, do you have carpal tunnel, arthritis, or any other medical condition in your hand/wrist/arm? It is fairly common for these issues to occur with individuals who have something going on. Add the stress of holding a handlebar and poof you overstimulated your nerve and lost feeling. Try and find something similar to the width (broom handle, piece of pipe) and put your glove on then hold it like you hold your handlebars, see if that elicits the same response. Then try positions (motorcycle position with arms up), and see how that goes. Your hands have three primary innervations and it is hard to get them all at once without something putting undue pressure somewhere. Have you had shoulder surgery? Fractured clavicle? Latisissmus issues?
I do understand your point. I did have, 6 years ago a tendinitis in my right hand, in the thumb/wrist area. I cured that and it gave me no problems since. Now that I think it better, the numbness does start on the thumb and the forefinger and then the whole hand.
Could be they vibrate like a tuning fork
Errr...spot on!

How can I tell if a guy is single? How will I know if he's interested?
What are some tell-tale signs that a guy is single? I would gladly make an approach if I knew these signs. Also, what are some signs that a guy is... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
==Is he single===
There is no way to know. Every person acts in a completely different way. But here's the most common way to know...
Rule of thumb,
1) if he's happy, charismatic and smiling = He's taken or a playa
2) If he's needy, acts shy, or desperate = He's single
The irony is that most people act very unattractive when they're single, and only after they get someone do they start acting attractively. Irony of life :) Same with girls. The unapproachable ones are waiting to get approached. The approachable ones are taken, lol.
===Signs he's interested===
- The number one sign he is interested. You ask him out and he says yes. (99% correct)
- The number two sign he is interested... When he notices you, his behavior changes. It doesn't matter how he acts. What matters is that his behavior is different when you are in the room then when you're not. He's laughing, having fun, notices you from across the room, and suddenly gets quiet... Or vice-versa. The indicator is change of behaviour when you're around, not the type of behavior. (95% correct)
- You hold eye-contact and he wants to keep it. Doesn't mean he's good at keeping it at long times. The key word here is *wants* to keep it. But if you keep eye-contact and keep looking his way (in his eyes), he always find reasons to look back your way (80% correct) ===> this one can be confusing because it can be messed up due to shyness or upbringing, so he can keep looking away. The give away is if he re-initiates it.
What Guys Said 4
What Girls Said 2
There is no definite tell-signs that a guy is single or taken unless he's wearing a ring.
You could ask people that know him, or his friends or you could check his facebook profile to see if he's single. If the guy is interested in you, you will know it through his actions
He looks at you a lot
He's nice to you
Ask for your number and ask you out for a date
Pretty much like he find any chance to get to know you better and spend time together
Okay, usually if you go up and talk to him and he is intrested in you he will act a little shy and like STEVO459 said his face will turn red. But if he is single and interested he will throw hints out, usually he will bring up a subject about his Ex.
Or another thing you can do is if he is with some friends, ask one of them they usually let you know everything you need. =D
Keep in mind that most guys like when girls make the first move, If you like him its always worth a try.
Have an opinion?

Japan Anthropology Workshop Series
Editorial Board:
Pamela Asquith, University of Alberta
Eyal Ben Ari, Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Hirochika Nakamaki, National Museum of Ethnology, Osaka
Kirsten Refsing, University of Copenhagen
Wendy Smith, Monash University
Founder Member of the Editorial Board:
Jan van Bremen, University of Leiden
Routledge is very proud to be publishing this important series, which has already signed up a good list of high quality books on interesting topics, and has a truly international range of authors and editors.
A key aim of the series is to present studies that offer a deep understanding of aspects of Japanese society and culture to offset the impression of constant change and frivolity that so tempts the mass media around the world. Living in Japan brings anyone into contact with the fervent mood of change, and former residents from many other countries enjoy reading about their temporary home, but there is a demand also to penetrate less obvious elements of this temporary life. Anthropologists specialise in digging beneath the surface, in peeling off and examining layers of cultural wrapping, and in gaining an understanding of language and communication that goes beyond formal presentation and informal frolicking. This series will help to open the eyes of readers around the world from many backgrounds to the work of these diligent anthropologists researching the social life of Japan.
Submissions from prospective authors are welcomed, and enquiries should be sent in the first instance to the series editor Professor Joy Hendry (email@example.com).

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Kohan Next WeekAugust 17th, 2001 by Crusader
Dr.Dubious DDQ fired in the following
Yesterday I sent a message email@example.com asking about Kohan, as Ihadn't seen any "Kohan is now available" press releases.
I was afraid it wouldn't be out at all any time soon, but it's supposed to beout next week instead.
I quote:
"Sorry to have to be the bearer of bad news. The release of Kohan isdelayed until next week."
Oh, well, I suppose I can handle one more week. The reply message alsoreiterated that they are naturally still accepting pre-orders for shipmentas soon as it's available next week.
You can still download the Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns demo in the meantime.

"NOTHING will come of nothing." Shakespeare's epithet seems the kind of self-evident statement that only poets and philosophers would argue over. And physicists like Chris Wilson.
Last year, Wilson and his team at the Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, provided what seems a particularly egregious case of something for nothing. They claimed to have conjured up light from nowhere simply by squeezing down empty space (New Scientist, 19 November 2011, p 16). That would be the latest manifestation of a quantum quirk known as the Casimir effect: the notion that a perfect vacuum, the very definition of nothingness in the physical world, contains a latent power that can be harnessed to move objects and make stuff.
Sightings of this vacuum action have been mounting over the past decade or so, leading some physicists to propose a new generation of nanoscale machines to take advantage of ...

The Final Inspection
The warrior stood and faced God,
Which will always come to pass,
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, old warrior,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"
The warrior squared his shoulders and
Said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
'Cause those of us who carry guns
Can't always be saint.
"I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
'Cause the world is awfully rough.
"But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
"And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
"I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here,
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
"If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand. In life
I didn't expect nor need too much,
So if you don't, I'll understand."
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod,
As the warrior stood quietly.
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, my warrior,
You've born your burdens well,
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

The Australian Drilling Industry Association (ADIA) represents over 1,000 drilling contractors, suppliers, consultants and associated organisations who operate in the mineral exploration, mining, water well, geotechnical and environmental sectors.
There are over 3,000 drilling rigs active in Australia, and many operate in remote locations where the support services most of us take for granted aren't available. As a result, Australian drillers have a reputation for innovation and persistence, and the ability to 'get the job done' – despite the odds!
Equipment designers and suppliers too have played their part and developed equipment that meets the needs of our drilling contractors. Like our drilling crew, these rigs are sought after overseas because of their rugged dependability.
To ensure these achievements do not go unnoticed, we distribute our magazine – Australasian Drilling – to many organisations and readers overseas, who are always keen to review the latest developments from 'down under'. It also allows Aussies working out of Australia to keep up with industry news too!
The ADIA's head office is located near Melbourne, with active members in most states and territories. The Board meets four times annually, and draws on representatives from all member states and sectors. All positions are voluntary.
One of our strengths is that we encompass small owner-operators to large multi-national organisations. Sixty-five per cent of contractor members employ less than four personnel; 27 per cent employ 5-50; and the remaining 8 per cent are large contractors, some employing up to 500 staff.
Australasian Drilling is our public face. Printed bi-monthly, some 3,500 copies are distributed throughout Australia and New Zealand; South East Asia; North and South America; Canada; Africa; and Europe. The magazine is supported by a strong group of loyal advertisers, who rely on our magazine to help 'get the message out' to the market. We believe that advertising in Australasian Drilling is successful because the magazine is received and read by the individuals who sign the cheques!
We run an annual conferences, where exhibitors and supplier have a unique opportunity to mix and mingle with customers (and potential customers) whom they may not see for an extended period. Presenters cover topical issues, including both business management and technical subjects. We also hold seminars and training courses on an as-needs basis, to ensure that all members have an opportunity to increase their knowledge and skill. Such meetings frequently utilise the assistance of recognised local specialists, who can speak with confidence on the local conditions and successful remedies.
We endeavour to maintain a good rapport with associated bodies and government organisations who are charged with the responsibility of maintaining high OH&S standards and other critical compliance aspects. As a part of these industry sectors, we feel we too are obliged to support and influence the policies and practices that assist all Australians, which includes our members.

This page provides an experimental RDF to JSON translator as discussed on the linked-data-api wiki. The aim, eventually, is to support a JSON-based publishing format for RDF that is optimised for approachability for normal developers.
It is not intended as a general RDF syntax. In particular, round tripping from RDF through the JSON format and back again is not guaranteed. It will work in the simple 80% of cases. The format includes a context block which records information on the ranges for properties. In cases where a property is used uniformly (object value is always a simple resources, or always a list or always a literal) then round tripping is supported.
The design choices for the JSON format are still under discussion. This translator is intended to make it easy to experiment with the current set of choices to see what it looks like. It will be updated as the design is refined.
Paste some source RDF into the text area, select the format (Turtle, RDF/XML and N-triple are supported) and click As JSON to get the translated version. The translation includes a wrapper object giving the format version information and a context object to enable round tripping. The translated RDF is in the results array.
{ "format":"linked-data-api", "version":"0.0", "results":[ { ... RDF is here ... } ], "context":{ ... } }
In the API itself you can specify a list of root resources to be serialized and the results field will comprise those resources, in order. The web form does not yet support explicit specification of the roots, instead all unique subjects in the source RDF graph will be serialized in a pseudo-random order.
The Pretty print option causes the returned JSON to be indented to make it easy to read.
If a base URL is given then all resource references which extensions of that base URL will be return as relative references and the context block will include the base URL.
An RDF graph can be serialized with no additional configuration information. Short names for properties will be chosen based on label information in the graph or using the local name.
Optionally a separate ontology can be given which provides label information for properties and, optionally, additional configuration information. The only statements in the ontology that the translator will pay attention to are:
:property rdfs:label "label" .
used to given a short form name to the property when serialized, only applies if the label is an NCName.
:property a lda:Hidden .
used to mark a property to be excluded from the serialization.
:property a lda:Multivalued .
used to mark a property to be always serialized as multivalued (i.e. as a JSON array) irrespective of how many object values it has in any given instance. Without this marker then a property will be serialized as a simple value or an array according to the cardinality of the instance data.
where the namespaces are:
@prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> . @prefix lda: <http://www.epimorphics.com/vocabularies/lda#> .
This service can be called via a simple POST with the following parameters:
It call also be used in proxy mode by doing a GET with the following parameters:
Note that for the instance which is hosted on Google App Engine then there is a GAE-imposed 30s limit on responses. If the proxied RDF source cannot delivery the complete RDF graph in that time the request will timeout (returning an HTML error page).

Above: A historic photograph showing a soap box derby on High Street in Sag Harbor in the 1950s. Below: The Sag Harbor Cub Scouts Pack 455 earns approval from the Sag Harbor Village Board of Trustees, Tuesday night.
The annual Pinewood Derby in Sag Harbor is a scouting tradition in Sag Harbor, and for Laurie Barone-Schaeffer, expanding opportunities for her Cub Scout den is a constant priority.
In this case, they are going to need some bigger cars.
Barone-Schaefer and assistant Cub Scout leader Geraldine Merola were given the go-ahead at Tuesday night's Sag Harbor Village Board meeting for a plan they have been working on for months — to resurrect the Sag Harbor Soap Box Derby.
Held traditionally on High Street, Barone-Schaefer said her goal was to bring a historic event tied closely to the bonds of community and family back to Sag Harbor.
The Sag Harbor Soap Box Derby will be held on Sunday, June 30, starting with a parade down Main Street to the American Legion Hall at 1 p.m., featuring the racers and their cars, followed by the derby.
Afterwards racers and their families will meet for a Sag Harbor Fireman's barbeque at Havens Beach, where Schaefer hopes the cars will be displayed along with vintage automobiles owned by local families and antique fire trucks from the Sag Harbor Firehouse Museum.
Ultimately, said Schaefer in a separate interview on Tuesday morning, the derby is aimed at bringing people together in times when the Internet, video games and television can have a polarizing impact on families, and especially children.
"This promotes tradition, history, bonding time between family members, and its teaching our scouts how to work hard, getting them out from behind these video games and giving them the kind of experience kids really need in life," she said. "It is also bringing the community together for an old fashioned event."
The soapbox derby has been officially run in communities across the country since 1933, after a Dayton, Ohio newspaper photographer, Myron Scott, arranged an informal race between 19 boys.
The first All-American race was held in Ohio the following year and continues to this day, featuring racers from across the country at Derby Downs in Akron, Ohio.
In Sag Harbor, photographs dating back to the 1950s and 1960s show racers gathered on High Street, and as recently as two decades ago derby races were held annually at the Bridgehampton Race Circuit.
This event, said Barone-Schaefer, will be a scouting event, open to Sag Harbor Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. They will race in five divisions based on age and children as young as six and as old as 18 are encouraged to participate.
A single adult division race is open to the public at large for racers 16 years and older. Barone-Schaefer said she hopes local merchants, the village, and volunteer groups will enter racers in the event.
At least 13 racers are expected from the Cub Scout Pack 455, and Barone-Schaefer said the Sag Harbor Boy Scout and Girl Scouts, as well as the Sag Harbor Volunteer Fire Department, have also expressed an interest in getting involved.
"We want to promote scouting and really bring it back as a great experience for kids that is also tied to community service," said Barone-Schaefer. "We are getting involved with Jordan's Initiative and creating care packages for troops overseas. We look at local businesses, like Mecox Bay Dairy, where the den learned how cheese is made and about farm life. They are headed to Deep Hollow Ranch and to the Cradle of Aviation for a sleepover to learn about astronomy and aviation."
"In the age of Velcro shoes, these kids are learning to tie knots," she said. "We have to get back to basics."

Smoked Butter Trout Pate
|2 Ounce (50 Grams)
|1 Clove (5 gm)
|Smoked trout
|2 Large
|Horseradish cream
|1 Tablespoon
|Single cream/Yogurt
|4 Tablespoon
|Lemon juice
|2 Tablespoon
|Ground black pepper
|To Taste
|Parsley leaves
|4 (For Garnish)
|Spring onion
|Cucumber strip
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|To Taste
Melt the butter, peel and crush the garlic, split the trout, remove the bones and all the skin.
Flake the fish and blend with the butter, garlic and the remainder of the ingredients.
Add the lemon juice and seasoning gradually to check the flavour.
The ingredients can be blended in a basin, or a food processor, or in small batches in a liquidizer.
If using a food processor, allow only a very short time, as over processing spoils the texture of the fish.
Spoon the pate into one dish or individual ramekin dishes, cover with foil and chill until ready to serve.
Turn the pate on to a plate and garnish with parsley, spring onions and strips of cucumber.
If serving in small dishes, arrange the garnish on individual plates and place the dishes in the centre.
Serve with hot toast and butter.

Top 10 Chicago Craft Breweries
When you think about Chicago, one thing that comes to mind is all the different pubs and breweries in and around the area. Not sure which are worth a stop? Here's a list of 10 craft breweries and brewpubs you won't want to miss:
#1 Solemn Oath Brewery
Located at 1661 Quincy Avenue in Naperville, Solemn Oath Brewery offers consumers a varied lineup of American, Belgo-American, traditional, wood-aged, and experimental beers. Their choices are often changing so be sure to ask what they are currently featuring.
#2 3 Floyds
At Three Floyds in Munster, Indiana, customers can try one of their year-round or seasonal beers.
There's also a full service kitchen with some great food. Floyds, also referred to as "FFF" makes some beers listed in the top faves of Beer Advocate, including Zombie Dust.
#3 Goose Island
One of the most popular breweries in Chicago, Goose Island offers a selection of over 50 beers. There are two locations in the Windy City, one in the heart of Lincoln Park and the other in Wrigleyville.
#4 Revolution Brewing
Opened in February 2010, Revolution produces about 50 beers each year. Located in Logan Square, they offer customers year-round, specialty, and deep-wood beer choices.
#5 Argus Brewery
Argus Brewery has what they call the "Chicago Attitude." You can visit them at 11314 S. Front Avenue on the south side of Chicago.
#6 Wild Onion Brewery
They offer a number of different beers, including Hop Slayer, Hefty Weiss, Centenniale Blonde, and Pumpkin Ale. You can also schedule a tour to see the magic.
#7 Figure Eight Brewing
Located in Valparaiso, Indiana, they offer over 20 beer choices to go along with their wonderful food to make your trip worthwhile. They recently opened a tasting room in downtown Valpo. Figure Eight makes beers that push the limits – appealing to hopheads from miles around.
#8 Crown Brewing
Located in northwest Indiana, Crown Brewing is open seven days a week, offering a variety of beers. They like to try new recipes but always make sure there are regular favorites on tap. Crown Brewing is located in Crown Point, just off the square – next to the same jail that John Dillinger escaped from. Try the Crown Brown or for a hoppy side of you, try their Special Forces IPA.
#9 Flossmoor Station Restaurant and Brewery
Named the 2006 Best Small Brewpub and Best Small Brewpub Brewer in America at the Great American Beer Festival, a number of their beers have won numerous awards, making it one of the best places to stop in for a quick beverage.
#10 Stockholm's
If you're looking for an old-fashioned tavern, this is the place to go. All of their beers are freshly brewed and unfiltered giving that full, smooth flavor.

What, no Half Acre?
AlJanuary 18, 2013
you know what Amy, I don't know how we missed those guys. Thanks for that. Looks like we may need to take a trip there and do their top 10 beers or something. I will ask da boss!
Amy O'DonnellJanuary 19, 2013
Definitely do. Their Saturday morning tour is outstanding. I did it last weekend.

You are missing several amazing breweries and included Stockholm's, which by most beer lovers would say has the worst beer around! Good foo there but the beer is nasty! Several of us have the opinion that they don't clean their tanks well or something. All of their beers have a distinguished flavor that makes my tongue hide. If you haven't had beer from Half Acre, Finch's, or Piece, make sure you do. Cheers!
JonMarch 11, 2014
Yeah, I'm sorry, but you don't have Half Acre but you have Stockholm's? I'd have Half Acre at #1. Daisy Cutter and Space are two of the best beers I have ever tasted in my life. You're also missing Two Brothers out of Warrenville. Another top pick of mine (probably in the 4-5 range).
RossMarch 12, 2014
That is the tough part, but great part about beer, it all comes down to personal taste.
Some people swear by certain crafts, while others can't even handle them in the slightest.
More reason to go try out every brewery that you possibly can though.
SergeMay 5, 2014
I've been to eight out of ten. Not sure, frankly, how Stockholm's got on this list. Unless they were having a bad day or something, all the beer (and I've tried all they had) was bad or worse.
For more breweries around Chicago, see this:
