Ive done a lot of googling and a lot of messing with files, and haven't been able to actually get this set of morphs or characters in game.
Here's my problem, I've downloaded it and I'm very very sure its on my mac, just i cant actually get it into daz.
At first i just went about it like i went about the ++ morphs, and base; just pressing next as soon as i could. I opened daz and searched through files for maybe 20-30 minutes to no avail. I found the files that looked as if they belonged to the luscious curves set, just nothing in them, which makes no sense to me. I also checked my morphs section and character section, to find nothing. I then decided to manually move some files around, I figured maybe i have to move some of the contents that were delivered in the zip file, It doesn't seem like this was the fix either. I manually took the folder and dropped it into my daz library hoping anything from inside it would show up in daz, just the folders…not the files.
All help is appreciated, sorry if this was posted about recently, and thanks in advance

Fruit Magic Wands
Activity DesignerJulie Kirkwood
73 Projects
These healthy treats are fun to make and add a little magic to any meal.
What You'll Need
- fruit - (we used watermelon, grapes & blueberries)
- wooden skewers
- ribbon
- scissors
- cookie cutters - (stars, hearts, etc.)
How We Did It
We washed our grapes and berries and sliced our watermelon in half. My daughter was thrilled to see that our watermelon was of the pink variety. She chose the ribbon colors. I gave her large and small cookies cutters shaped like stars and hearts.
We put all of our watermelon cut-outs onto a plate and I set up a workstation for her to put them together.
Starting with the pointy end of the skewer, she slid the star or heart shape up to the top, then began adding grapes and berries.
Tip: If you're doing this project with very young kids, you can snip off the sharp end of the skewer. The fruit slides on just fine without it.
I helped her tie the ribbons underneath the fruit and curl the edges of the ribbon with the scissor blade.

Thought I'd make these for guests for Valentines, but glad I tried a half recipe in advance. Noted the "oozing" problem of prior reviewers, so sealed edges with fork. However, the length of time for baking is way too long! Turned them after 9 min., and within 3 or 4 min. more, I smelled a burning smell, which turned out to be the jam, probably, as 2 or 3 had oozed, but the turnovers, themselves, were overly browned and charred on the bottom. Used parchment, used middle rack. Waste of ingredients - flavor not that exciting after all that effort - maybe they'd have been better had not the charring effected flavor.flag if inappropriate
My friends and I made these in our dorm kitchen last night (with a few adjustments to the procedure - we didn't have a rolling pin). If we can do it at college, anyone can do it at home. Most of the turnovers oozed filling out of the seams, but some people enjoyed the "caramelized" (read: slightly burned) flavor of the leaked preserves.flag if inappropriate
Flavor was great, but big problem with raspberry oozing out and burning. You really need to seal the packets very well.flag if inappropriate
Very good recipe. I added chopped roasted walnuts to each pastry for added texture and flavor. They went over quite well with my coworkers. Although the recipe requests simply pressing the dough to seal it, it's best to use a fork to do this. I found several of the finger pressed pockets oozing during baking. It also makes for a less messy preparation.flag if inappropriate

WOMEN in Muhanga district have been urged to work with banks and embrace the saving culture as a way of improving their socio-economic livelihoods.
'Women make the majority of the total population in this sector, but it seems men dominate when it comes to working with banks, micro-finance institutions or other financial institutions."
The call was made, on Monday, by the district mayor, Yvonne Mutakwasuku, who was opening the new office of Muhanga Savings and Credit Cooperative (Sacco).
The Sacco building cost about Rwf22.5m to construct.
Mutakwasuku told the residents that saving is not a privilege of the well-off individuals.
She told them that the saving culture involves planning on how to use personal finances before any expenditure however little they might be.
She particularly encouraged women to join Saccos as a way of uplifting the welfare of their families.
"Women make up the majority of the total population in this sector, but it seems men dominate when it comes to working with banks, micro-finance institutions or other financial institutions," she said.
"As you are the majority (of the population), you have to play a great part in other developmental programmes. This is good for your families as your role in maintaining family welfare is as well vital," the mayor told the women.
Officials told The New Times that more than 3,000 out of the total 12,000 residents of the sector have already opened accounts with the savings cooperative.
A tale of beneficiaries
The Sacco has offered loans to more than 150 individuals, who later invested mainly in agriculture and livestock farming.
Aphrodis Kanani, a member of the cooperative, said working with financial institutions has transformed his life and that of his family.
He testified that he used the Rwf500,000 loan acquired from the cooperative to buy two cows which has helped improve his living conditions.
"I now have milk for home consumption, which contributes a lot to making our health better," he said, adding that he gets surplus to sell.
"I am planning to request for another loan to further invest in other income-generating activities and boost my revenues further."

Last Thursday the weekly public radio show, The Infinite Mind, opened its virtual broadcast center and studio in Second Life. To celebrate it, John Hockenberry, the host of the radio show, is interviewing four visionaries, simulcasting them in Second Life from the Infinite Mind "sim" (simulator).
This Monday and Tuesday, August 7 and 8, Hockenberry will be hosting futurist Howard Rheingold and best-selling author Kurt Vonnegut. Tickets to the events in Second Life are available beginning at 9:00 a.m. (PDT, Second Life Time) on the day of each event at the Infinite Mind in-world amphitheater. SL attendees will be able to ask questions of the guests during the events.
The interview series was kicked off last Thursday with Suzanne Vega, who is known as the "mother of the MP3." She (and her avatar) performed live in-world to a virtual audience. It is another of the fascinating and growing list of Second Life firsts. Watch Suzanne perform one of her songs during the show in this video and a bit of the interview in this video.
To appreciate the talent, work and detail that goes into building a virtual object, watch this three-minute video on the building of Suzanne's virtual guitar for her performance.
Both the broadcast center and the simulcasts are exciting experiments for radio media. There is lots of music broadcast in Second Life and the BBC's Radio1 has held virtual concert events in-world. But The Infinite Mind has built their virtual broadcasting home here, with screening rooms, a studio with a viewing gallery, a lecture theater for PowerPoint and multimedia presentations, an archive library, the amphitheater and a transportation center (for a shuttle). The Infinite Mind's goal is to "go beyond broadcasting," making this the first interaction between Second Life residents and a First Life radio program.
Perhaps without coincidence, the radio show is about the human mind, brain and behaviors. Second Life is an excellent laboratory to explore human behavior through virtual environments and I suspect The Infinite Mind will be providing some intriguing insights on the topic as they operate here.
You don't have to be a Second Lifer to listen to the upcoming shows. They are simulcast on the web here.
And you can find a terristrial radio station that airs the program here.
See the Flickr set for more images of the virtual broadcast center.
The Infinite Mind Sim is located at: secondlife://The Infinite Mind/208.745/76.4281/0

English 335 Shakespeare
Spend fifteen weeks with the best writer in the history of mankind! (No hyperbole allowed.) Study Shakespeare's comedies, histories, tragedies, and romances. This course satisfies requirements in both the English and the Theater majors.
TR 2:10-3:25; Writing Flag
English 419 English Novel
What does the autobiography of a castaway doctor have to do with an ingénue's dream of running a poultry farm or a young girl's (almost) unrequited love for her kind older cousin? What's at stake in the legendary case of Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce? Why should you be concerned if a hedgehog drowns in your swimming pool? Are you truly nobody until you've read Clarissa? Sign up for English 419, celebrate the 200th anniversary of the publication of Austen's Mansfield Park and discover the answers to these and perhaps more legitimate questions about English literary history. For example, who invented the novel and why? When and how did it earn its status as a respectable genre? What is verisimilitude and why is it worth thinking about? Which should you trust more, an unreliable narrator or a happy ending? In short, what do novels "know" that poetry and drama do not?
Tuesdays, 6-8:30
English 422: Topics in Multiethnic American Literature Native American Literature
This course will explore an array of Native American literary works, including creation stories and trickster tales, poems, short stories, novels, memoir, and nonfiction on a range of topics, such as the nature of identity, indigenous sovereignty, resistance to stereotype, and the problems of translation. To deepen our understanding of the literature, we will also examine specific tribal, cultural, and historical contexts and watch several films and documentaries. Throughout the semester, we will see how literary expression remains key to Native American cultural strength and survival.
TR 12:45-2:00; Cultural Awareness & Writing Flags
English 475: Topics in Med-Ren Literature Medieval Drama
We will focus in this course on the four "Ms" of medieval drama: miracle plays, morality plays, mystery plays, and mummings. As we study specimens of these Middle English dramatic genres, we will juxtapose modern renderings of medieval life and culture in cinematic works by such 20th-century heavyweights as Ingmar Bergman, Andrei Tarkovsky, Carl Theodor Dreyer, and Robert Bresson. A collaborative, semester-long research project will culminate in a final performance. Students will develop a sense of how medieval drama set the stage for modern theatre and film.

I've been thinking about the
I've been thinking about the radio a lot recently. Maybe it's because I've been stuck in a Radiohead vortex. I'm not sure.
Well, today, I got an email from a girl who wanted to know why Radio Free Burrito hasn't been on. I told her that I turned it off because nobody ever listened, as far as I know, and, quite honestly, the pAved earth is just a whole hell of a lot cooler.
So I ask you, experiencer of my lameness...have you tuned into my little station of bliss?
I'm also kicking around the idea of creating a message board. What do you think?

Investors like Facebook so much the company is increasing the size of its IPO. Facebook
Facebook Wants Into the 12-Figure Club
Investors are clearly psyched to see Facebook go public, even though one of the nation's largest advertisers is backing off from the social network.
Facebook once again tinkered with its initial public offering paperwork this morning, saying it will boost the number of shares it plans to sell. The move comes after the company earlier this week upped its share-price range.
According to this morning's filing, Facebook plans to sell 421 million shares when it goes public on the Nasdaq under the symbol FB Friday. That's an increase of 25 percent. At the upper end of the company's price range of $35 to $38, the company will raise about $16 billion and be worth north of $100 billion.
Facebook's will be by far the biggest tech IPO, with Google coming in a distant second with the roughly $2 billion it raised in 2004. Facebook's would be the third-largest IPO behind GM and Visa.
The increases in Facebook's IPO size and price range are clear indicators of the company's massive popularity. The company founded in Mark Zuckerberg's dorm room has certainly proven it can grow like few other firms in history—ballooning to 900 million users and $3.7 billion in revenue in eight short years.
So it's rational to think Facebook could continue to grow into a company worth $100 billion. But the hype, as much as anything, is the reason for the price tag.
"This is much more a spectacle, a media event, and a cultural moment than it is an IPO," GreenCrest Capital analyst Max Wolff tells Reuters. "This is not a game of models and fundamentals at this point."
For instance, if General Motors had pulled its advertising off a normal media outlet, Wall Street would likely howl. The reaction has been subdued, though, since the automaker decided Tuesday to curtail its Facebook spending.

Hi all, I thought that I'd start giving a preview for the upcoming WrestleMania 28 PPV, by analysing the actual and rumoured card from top to bottom to see where we are right now and how it's going. I'm going to post this every Saturday or Sunday (after I've seen Smackdown) in the coming weeks and see how this big PPV is shaping up. let's get started, have a lot to go over this week.
Hello wrestling geeks, how are you all today? If you don't know me, I've been writing the odd blog for a few months. It's great fun but something that I have tended to do is write a two parter that may receive some decent feedback when half way done but is sadly enough to not spur me on. I work 10 hour days 5 times a week and do a lot of travel to and from the hell hole itself on top of that, so
In my opinion, WrestleMania XIX was the perfect WrestleMania. It was also great to see a Mania outdoors in a stadium again, reminded me of Mania 8 which is a favourite of mine. During the Attitude era years I expected the card of Mania to go into double figures cause it was fricking WrestleMania. WrestleMania 19 only had 9 matches, but it was a supreme card from top to bottom and made me appreciate

Feds to require 'open' wireless networks?
July 10, 2007
(continued from previous page)
If these subscribers wanted to make calls or use a non-Verizon application on the rest of Verizon's nationwide network, they'd still need to use a Verizon-certified phone. Why? Verizon is not required to adhere to the open device and application access rule for any other spectrum licenses that have been used to build its existing network.
"The rules adopted today do nothing for the 250 million current cell phone subscribers," said Ben Scott, Washington policy director for the advocacy group Free Press. "In 2010, when these networks get built, the incumbents could freeze consumers out of their no-locking and blocking rights. We have a long way to go to truly realize these principles."
Devil in the details
As is typical, the text of FCC rules was not released at the meeting, which started nearly four hours later than its originally scheduled time due to last-minute negotiations among commissioners. But a press release (PDF) distributed afterward outlines the main provisions.
The order establishes that, of the spectrum being auctioned, 62MHz will be up for grabs by commercial operators. About one-third of those airwaves will be subject to the open-access rules and would allow bidders to purchase a single, regional license covering a large geographic footprint. The remaining portion, which will not be forced to comply with the unfettered devices mandate, will be divided into licenses of various sizes covering small and midsize geographic markets.
Another primary motive for the spectrum auction is improving communications among public safety workers. The adopted order sets aside 24MHz of spectrum to be dedicated to that purpose and licensed to a single noncommercial, nonprofit group that represents the public safety community.
It also sets up a framework for a public-private partnership to build a nationwide, interoperable public safety broadband network on a shared 10MHz of the spectrum. It would be up to the commercial licensee to build out the network for use by emergency workers, and the public safety licensees would also have priority access to the commercial spectrum in times of emergency.
The public-private partnership concept has been championed by a company called Frontline Wireless, headed by former FCC Chairman Reed Hundt. But in its proposal to the FCC, Frontline also wanted a wholesale provision added to the rules to help promote competition in the market, and it wanted the open device and application rules also added to this sliver of spectrum licenses.
But the public safety community, which is worried about network security and other issues, did not like the idea of an open network or allowing any type of device to connect to the network. The FCC also did not accept Frontline's request to offer discounted pricing to encourage smaller new entrants.
"The policy debate has come a long way in a short period toward open networks and a public-private partnership, and we commend the FCC for advancing these important public interests," Frontline Chairman Janice Obuchowski said in a statement. "But in areas where the commission did not go far enough, such as including wholesale in open-access requirements and in the scope of the designated entity definition, we will be reviewing the FCC's decision closely and considering petitioning for reconsideration."
The FCC also agreed to employ "anonymous" bidding procedures, which means the agency will withhold information about specific applicants' license selections and bidding activity until the auction ends.
Some commissioners also expressed misgivings about a decision in the rules to set "reserve" prices for each block up for sale in the auction. The idea behind that move, Martin said, is to "ensure that a fair price is paid." The projected $10 billion to $15 billion raised by the auction, according to Congressional Budget Office estimates, is scheduled to be deposited into the federal treasury to pay down the deficit.
McDowell said he believed the prices are best left to market forces, arguing that "reserve prices have the effect of skewing the auction and hindering the efficient allocation of spectrum."
Consumer advocacy groups were also troubled by the reserve pricing provision. Harold Feld, senior vice president of the Media Access Project, argued that reserve pricing could scare off new entrants from bidding. He said it could also encourage incumbent phone companies to hold back early in the auction and force the spectrum to be reauctioned without the rules.
No particular start date for the auction was set on Tuesday, but by congressional mandate, it must begin no later than January 28, 2008.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Martin predicted the auction would not occur until December or January so that potential bidders can have time to secure the capital to participate.

- Oops, they did it again...
- "His position drew support from Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas), the ranking member of the House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee..."
I vaguely recall the Democrats retaking Congress, so the ranking member of any House Committee would be a Democrat. Joe Barton and his party were thrown out by voters because they are corrupt and incompetent: they're not the ranking members on any committees right now.
Of course, this is a "news" organization that employees Declan "Da Liah" McCullagh. Given that I guess accuracy isn't a criteria in news gathering. Rather they're just hoping Joe Barton exclaims something akin to "Al Gore says he invented the Internet" (which, of course, he didn't say) so they can broadcast the misquote widely and gain...? OK: I have no idea what they hope to gain.

- criticizing the criticism
- The term ?ranking member? is often used refer to the senior member from either party. Technically it should have been ?ranking minority member? but its well understood either way. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranking_member for more information on this topic.
This was a well written, balanced article. Your criticism of Declan and company seem to be a bit ?off balanced?. Consider centering-exercising or deep breathing. Aroma therapy might help as well.

- According to the Republican Web site for the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep. Barton is designated the ranking member. Please see the committee's Web site for more information: http://republicans.energycommerce.house.gov.

- Air waves belong to the public
- This is only 22 MHz of spectrum. No serious threat to the imcumbent can be launched in such a small block. Besides all the airwaves are owned by the American public, and the public should have access to a small part for innovation and open source applications. The imcumbents will only provide apps that ensure their continued dominance.

- FCC should measure ROI, not just short-term auction proceeds!
- You are absolutely right. This Business Week article describes what happened when France unbundled its access to ensure that France Telecom (the incumbent) couldn?t lock out other vendors from wholesaling offerings.
http://www.businessweek.com/globalbiz/content/jul2007/gb20070718_387052.htm?chan=rss_topStories_ssi_5
The result? An unprecedented wave of innovation that has touched off deployment of new fiber (unsubsidized by taxpayers, by the way) and amazing new services.
Rather than evaluate the short-term gains from the auction, the FCC should have been concerned with long-term ROI (return-on-investment) to the American economy. That only comes about by preventing the telcos, their lawyers and lobbyists from hamstringing competition.
Instead, we get more of the same, with a couple of giant telcos protecting their turf. The result is that America will become a technological backwater for mobile development.
Thanks, FCC!

- Not Open Enough
- It's clear that the FCC should support the MOST open access possible. Full open access provisions are appropriate because there is no public benefit from allowing exclusive and restrictive use of the public airwaves; but there are great benefits from open access.
The decision not to support more open access is inappropriate and could even suggest undue influence. The lack of open access will stifle choice, competition, innovation and growth. Congress should intervene by passing legislation requiring open access (including open wholesale access) in new allocations of the public airwaves. Hopefully someone like Google will win a good chunk of these licenses and provide access in an open wholesale manner. This auction is a very important allocation of prime radio spectrum which belongs to everyone; allowing exclusive and restrictive use of it might increase the perceived value of the licenses, but is a disservice to the public.

Measurement of Matter
Metric system:
a) Unit of length: meter (m)
micro (m)(1/1,000,000) milli (m)(1/1000)
deci (d)(1/10) centi (c)(1/100)
kilo (k)(1000)
More in Table 1.2 of textbook.
b) Unit of mass: kilogram (kg) = 1000 g
c) Unit of volume:
V = l x w x h = dm x dm x dm = dm3
1 dm3 = 1 liter (L)
1 cm3 = 1 milliliter (mL) = 1/1000 L
d) Unit of temperature: Kelvin (K) scale
Celsius (C) scale
Conversions: K = °C + 273
°F = °C x 1.8 °F + 32°F
°C = 1.0 °C x (°F - 32°F)
e) Unit of heat: joule (J), calorie (cal)
• how much energy a sample contains
• calorie: amount of heat required to raise 1 g of water 1 °C
Food Calorie = 1000 calories =1 kilocalorie
• Definition: mass per unit volume
• Mathematical representation:
D = mass = g = g
volume cm3 mL
• Example: Water = 1 g/mL
Gasoline = 0.66 - 0.69 g/mL
Calculate the density of an unknown substance which is determined to weigh 18.2 grams and have a volume of 6.74 mL.
Calculate the volume of a 200 gram piece of lead (see table 1.5).
Accuracy - the degree to which a measurement represents the "true" or accepted value
Precision - the reproducibility of a measurement
Significant figures - help to communicate the uncertainty or reliability of a measurement.
• includes all digits in a measurement known with certainty (what you read) plus the estimated next digit to the right.
Zero may or may not be a significant figure:
• leading zeros are not significant figures
0.02 m (1 sig fig)
• captive zeros are significant figures
0.0203 m ( 3 sig figs)
• trailing zeros with a decimal point shown are significant figures
0.02030 m ( 4 sig figs)
200 m ( 1 sig fig)
200.0 m ( 4 sig figs)
200. ( 3 sig figs)
Express the following numbers to 3 significant figures.
Scientific notation may be used to express very large or very small numbers
Example: The mass of 1 molecule of water is
0.000 000 000 000 000 000 000 029 916 grams
This may also be expressed as 2.9916 x 10-23
Notice the decimal place has been moved 23 places to the right to obtain a number between 1 and 10.
Moving the decimal to the right to express a very small number results in a negative exponent; moving the decimal to the left to express a very large number results in a positive exponent.
All significant figures are shown in scientific notation.
Express the following numbers in scientific notation and report their number of sig figs.
0.000 000 000 000 000 420
Performing mathematical operations using sig figs . . .
Addition and subtraction:
• The answer must not contain any significant figures beyond the place value common to all numbers.
Example: 2.015
+ 4.8
6.8 (not 6.815)
• The answer must not contain more significant figures than the least number of sig figs in the measurements.
Example: 4.01
x 3.1
12 (not 12.431)
14.085 + 9.4 =
11 m x 12 m =
Unit Conversions
Converting units requires that an equivalence between the two units be known. The equivalence is referred to as a conversion factor. (See Appendix 6).
Conversion factors can be used in either direction . . . Since 2.54 cm = 1 in, this equivalence can be used to convert cm to inches or inches to cm.
Ex. Convert 4.52 inches to cm
Convert 0.29 cm to inches
Several conversion factors can be used together to perform a multi-step conversion. Ex. Convert 0.0287 miles to mm
Convert the density of water (1.0 g/ml) to the units of lb/gal
Convert the area of a square that is 1 in2 to the units of cm2

(1877 – 1945)
36.3 x 24.2 cm image; 38.5 x 25.3 cm sheet
Ohara Shôson was an establishment Japanese-style painter who had studied under Suzuki Kason. Shôson also used the name Koson from around 1910 until 1912. It is said that he was encouraged by the famous American scholar and collector of Japanese art Ernest Fenollosa (1853-1908) to design for prints for export.
Most of Shôson's designs fall into the conventional 'flower and bird' genre. He never dated his work, but as he began designing for Watanabe Shôzaburô from 1926, this print is made in or after that year.

By the time the sandbags have been filled it's often too late to save homes from flood damage. So Gerald Fairbrother of Sandy, Bedfordshire, has applied for patents on an easy way to be prepared for such an emergency (EP 1223294 and GB 2370854). His idea is to fit all exterior door frames on a house with a strong U-shaped frame secured to the bottom and sides. The U-frame has a groove down each side and along the bottom that allows a panel to be slotted in from above when floods threaten. The panel bulges outward slightly, so as the water pressure builds up, it presses the panel ever more tightly against the frame, making a waterproof seal. Homes in high risk areas such as flood plains could have the U-frame fixed permanently in place. Elsewhere, Fairbrother recommends fitting it only when there is a flood warning.

Since going on a gluten-free diet, I wasn't sure at first if I could have Monosodium glutamate- but I read somewhere that it wasn't derived from wheat so it was okay. BUT-I've eaten things that seem to be gluten-free but have Monosodium glutamate in them and I get sick. I had a few potato chips with this ingredient and I was hunched over grabbing my stomach. I am guessing there is a connection- I just was wondering if anyone else gets sick off of this as well.

From Arms Control Center-House Markup of Defense Appropriations Bill
July 31, 2007
The House Appropriations Committee completed its markup of the Fiscal Year 2008 Defense Appropriations bill on July 25. The bill includes $459.6 billion for the Department of Defense, $3.5 billion below the Bush Administration's request ($463.1 billion) and $39.7 billion above current levels (excluding supplementals). The full House will begin consideration of the Defense Appropriations bill the week of July 30. The Senate Appropriations Committee has not yet scheduled action on the bill.
This bill does NOT fund the Administration request of $141.7 billion for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, which will bring the total defense budget above $600 billion for the year. The House is expected to address this Iraq and Afghanistan funding in September. Nor does it include funding for military construction, military housing, or nuclear weapons activities of the Department of Energy, which are funded through other appropriations accounts.

Spam and comments – 32,000+ spams in 3 months
April 5, 2009 | 10:23 pm
By Paul Biba
Since January 1 we have received over 32,000 spam "comments" that tried to get posted on TeleRead. The volume of this stuff is simply amazing and some if it is really very clever. As you can see we must use some sort of filtering software or we simply would have to discontinue comments altogether – the spam comments would just bring everything to a complete halt.
We use Akismet to block spam and it seems to be pretty good. Sometimes, however, it will identify your comment as spam and block it. Every few hours I try to go through the blocked spams to see if anything has been marked as a false positive. Today, for example, I found that both of Cheryl Kaye's comments, along with several others, were marked as spam and I restored them.
I don't always have the time to do this, and if I miss more than a couple of hours the spams build up to the point where I can't possibly review them all. If your comment is lost please email David or me and we'll try and find it and restore it. However, to keep the site manageable I have to delete all the spams every few days, so please accept our apologies if your comment gets caught in our clean up.
If you have a chronic problem with being blocked Akismet has a contact form that you can use to tell them of the problem. I have no idea if it does any good, but it may be worth a try.
Unfortunately, I've tried contacting Akismet through their form, and after a bit of back-and-forth, they blamed TeleRead for doing the blocking (in fact, I hope you see this)…
Hey, Steve, I hope you persist. You're among the last people in the world we'd want to block–why, you're practically my neighbor geographically. Beyond which your comments have an excellent signal-to-noise ratio.
Please show this message to the Askimet people and tell 'em they will get lots of negative PR in the TeleBlog if the company does not solve your problem. Akismet's accusing us of blocking you is a big mistake. We're eager to cooperate with Akismet. I've complained directly and am baffled why no solution is at hand. It is both lazy and sleazy for Akismet to accuse us of blocking you, unless they mean unwittingly—in which case Akismet should say so. The bastards need a lesson in customer service. WordPress should drop Akismet as a partner if customer service remains at this level. Or can they? I'm trying to recall if WordPress people have a role in the company, in which case maybe that's how Akismet gets away with the current end-user abuse.

"Former New York Congressman Anthony Weiner is planning to open a new farm-to-table restaurant in Queens. So, whatever you do, don't ask to see the special." –Seth Meyers
"Former New York Congressman Anthony Weiner is planning to open a new farm-to-table restaurant in Queens. So, whatever you do, don't ask to see the special." –Seth Meyers
Some stories are just so silly that it is hard to resist repeating them for the sake of amusement. The big political "scandal" today is that the possible Republican opponent to Democratic Lt. Gov. John Walsh, who might become a candidate for the Senate, got a screen grab showing that Walsh liked this Facebook page: Breasts. Proof men can multitask2. Walsh claims that clicking "like" was a mistake and the "like" was removed.
This sure seems tame compared to the sex scandals which recent candidates such as Anthony Weiner and Eliot Spitzer got involved in (especially considering Facebook's prohibition against the display of bare breasts). Besides, considering the amount of homophobia in the Republican Party, not to mention the overall popularity of breasts, I wonder if it was really necessary for John Walsh to distance himself from breasts.
Sydney Leathers, who gained fame after talking about her sexting with Anthony Weiner, has now released a hard-core porn video entitled Weiner And Me. Anthony Weiner is played by Xander Corvus. For obvious reasons I did not embed the video here (which is an option should you want to add it to your web site) but a five minute video can be seen here.
If you aren't already convinced that Anthony Weiner is slimy, check out these tips for seducing a politician by Sydney Leather, the girl who exposed his recent sexting. She discussed what attracted Weiner to her. She also brags that "I've made thousands of dollars from sugar daddies." Of course her character isn't of much significance, but Anthony Weiner is running for mayor of New York.
Update: Another interview with Sydney Leather has been posted at Complex. She says that Leather is her real name. Of course if you are a politician or other sugar daddy texting her, I bet that her name can be whatever you want it to be.
"Republicans have accused Carlos Danger of being in the United States illegally." –David Letterman
I saw this headline and link: Poll: 78 Percent of Young Women Approve of Weiner
Clicking the link to US News I found the sample of young women to be atypical:
Sugar daddy dating website SeekingArrangement.com found that 78 percent of female clients aged 18-26 approve of Weiner.
The website, which connects wealthy patrons with attractive clients, surveyed over 18,000 of its female members and discovered that 63 percent of all women surveyed approved of the New York City mayoral hopeful, with the highest approval ratings coming from the 18-26 demographic.
I can see forgiving a politician for some sexual misconduct and reelecting the politician. If New York voters want to make Eliot Spitzer their next Controller, this might be a fair deal–getting an overly-qualified individual in return for forgiving past indiscretions. It is harder to see electing Anthony Weiner, especially to a higher office than he previously held, after finding that he continued sexting with at least three women since leaving Congress. It might be argued that this has nothing to do with the duties of mayor, but it is a sign of stupidity, and who wants a stupid mayor? New York voters appear to be thinking along similar lines. Initially he led in the polls, undoubtedly helped by name recognition (and perhaps recognition of other things). With the revelations of his on-going stupidity, his lead has evaporated in the polls. The latest Marist poll has him narrowly holding on to second place, nine points behind Christine Quinn in the Democratic primary.
Nancy Pelosi has described Weiner's behavior as reprehensible: "It is so disrespectful of women, and what's really stunning about it is they don't even realize, they don't have a clue. If they're clueless, get a clue. If they need therapy, do it in private," she said.
"According to the polls, Anthony Weiner is the favorite to become the next mayor of New York City. How many of you have seen the Weiner poll? Anthony Weiner is out front. Isn't that what got him into trouble in the first place? It'll be a long campaign. All the guy has to do is stick it out. I hope the guy doesn't get cocky. Weiner has a firm lead and his popularity is swelling." –David Letterman
"In New York, the new front-runner in the New York City mayor's race is Anthony Weiner. Some analysts say it's due to name recognition. Actually, I think a few people recognize more than just his name." –Conan O'Brien

5. 'He has to be the tiniest mayor ever'
4. 'It's such an honor to be here in The Windy City'
3. 'If you won't endorse me, Mr. Trump, would you consider me for 'Celebrity Apprentice'?'
2. 'They've got more hookers here than a congressional Christmas party'
1. 'There goes Letterman . . . Get him!'

From the start, Fox Searchlight was confident that "12 Years a Slave" would win critical acclaim and be an awards contender.
Getting people to see it? The film's distributor feared that would be a different story.
The new movie depicts the evils of slavery in painful and unflinching ways. Scenes include lynchings and whippings, rape and the separation of young children from their mother. Many people go to the movies for a couple of hours of escapism; "12 Years a Slave" is anything but.
ON LOCATION: '12 Years a Slave'
British director Steve McQueen "has no intention of making audiences the slightest bit comfortable with this terrible story" of a free black man kidnapped and enslaved in antebellum Louisiana, Times Film Critic Kenneth Turan noted in his review.
Recognizing the challenges of the material, the studio marketing team has taken a series of steps aimed at getting mainstream audiences to give the film a chance.
Hoping to position the film as uplifting, Fox Searchlight has crafted advertisements emphasizing the slave's determination and humanity, and is touting endorsements from influential African American entertainers Kanye West and Sean "Diddy" Combs.
Several advertisements include scenes of a benevolent abolitionist played by Brad Pitt, even though his role is small and doesn't appear until late in the film. "I will survive," Northup, played by the British actor Chiwetel Ejiofor, says in a trailer. "I will not fall into despair."
PHOTOS: Scenes from '12 Years a Slave'
This week, Fox Searchlight cut a television advertisement playing up the most redemptive scenes from "12 Years a Slave."
"The materials have not tried to soft-pedal the film or mislead the audience," said Nancy Utley, Fox Searchlight's co-president. "But we always wanted people to know that it's '12 Years a Slave,' not '1 Million Years a Slave.'"
Still, when Fox Searchlight agreed this year to distribute the independently financed movie, some studio executives worried that the film might be too harsh for large numbers of moviegoers. In fact, the studio didn't pay anything for the distribution rights, agreeing to share the box-office proceeds with the financiers of "12 Years a Slave."
The concern was understandable: Although some films dealing with painful topics, such as "Schindler's List," have become popular with audiences, others, such as "127 Hours," have fallen by the wayside.
"We're aware of it," Steve Gilula, Fox Searchlight's other co-president, said of concerns that the film could be perceived as too difficult. "Our focus is making it successful and getting people into movie theaters."
REVIEW: McQueen's '12 Years a Slave' impressive, and hard to watch
Because the film is not populated with recognizable actors, word of mouth will be critical to its success. Fox is hoping to build an audience by focusing its initial marketing push with the art-house crowd and African American moviegoers.
The film opened strongly last weekend, but it screened in only six cities, including Los Angeles. It will expand to 12 more markets Friday, including Detroit and Houston, selected because they have large African American populations.
At the same time, the film has to compete with "Gravity" and "Captain Phillips," both playing to auditoriums packed with mostly adults.
The studio also is hoping endorsements from prominent artists such as Combs and West can make "12 Years a Slave" part of the pop zeitgeist.
"This movie is very painful but very honest and is a part of the healing process. I beg all of you to take your kids — everybody to see it," Combs says in a message on his new cable channel Revolt TV, a video of which Fox Searchlight promptly promoted on the film's Facebook page.
