SECOND/SECOND to Open 9/26 at Pittsburgh's Wood Street Galleries
Pittsburgh, PA--The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust announces the opening of SECOND/SECOND by Icelandic artist Finnbogi Pétursson. The exhibition is on view September 26 to December 31, 2014, at the Trust's Wood Street Galleries. An opening reception takes place Friday, September 26, 2014, from 5:30 to 9 p.m., during the Trust's quarterly and 10th annual Gallery Crawl throughout the Cultural District.
The artist's first U.S. solo exhibition includes two light and sound installations, the recent works Teslatune (2014) and a U.S. premiere water installation.
"Wood Street Galleries welcomes the return of Iceland's Finnbogi Pétursson in SECOND/SECOND," says Murray Horne, Wood Street Galleries curator. "The Icelandic landscape can be described as mesmerizing, contemplative and hypnotic; these often intangible qualities are also embodied in Pétursson's sound-modulated water installations."
Teslatune (2014) is dedicated to the inventor Nikola Tesla. The installation emits sound that comes from an alternating current transformer, which is led through a programmer (time-adjusted frequency equaliser and switch box) to channel the sound through eight different outputs-pipes. These eight pipes of different lengths hang from the galley's ceiling, producing what seem to be different sounds, but the frequency is always the same, 60 Hz. The lengths of the pipes affect the pitch.
Pétursson has stated about his practice: "I am always trying to capture phenomena such as sound, water, fire, shadow and light, and channel them along new grooves, turn them into something other than what they are. These are phenomena that you feel and think about, but never see."
Finnbogi Pétursson, born in Reykjavík, Iceland, has been exhibiting since 1980 and is one of Iceland's most prominent light and sound artists. He is known for works that fuse sound, light, sculpture, architecture and drawings. Sound-a crucial element-is typically incorporated into spare sculptural installations. Pétursson represented Iceland at the Venice Biennial in 2001 with his monumental sound installation Diabolus. His artworks are held in numerous private collections as well as at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, Vienna, Austria, andthe National Gallery of Iceland, Reykjavík, Iceland. Permanent installations are at Landsvirkjun, Vatnsfellsvirkjun (an electric power plant) Reykjavík University, and the Reykjavík Energy Headquarters. Finnbogi lives and works in Reykjavík, Iceland.

Town Square
Houston, we have a CELEBRATION!
Original post made by Vince Kreigher, Alamo, on Aug 2, 2007
Guy Houston is announcing he is a candidate for District 3 Supervisor. We expect Guy to bring his moderate approach, human concern and fiscal responsibility to District 3 relationships and a genuine consideration for Alamo neighborhoods' advisory.
District 3, for more than seven years, has been at-odds with Alamo needs, interests, and advisory. In the past three years, that relationship with Alamo, and many communities and neighborhoods throughout District 3, has become abusive.
Thank you, Guy,
Vince Kreigher
Alliance of communities councils,
Alamo community of neighborhoods

Over 5,000 Graduates, Let's See What Some Have To Say?
We love our students, and they love Us.
It's been great to learn the art of editing films and other visual media at AIT. It's also great because of the job opportunities available, I've already had the opportunity to work on a set and edit music videos to a professional standard, and get paid whilst still a student.
One of the cool things about AIT, because they teach gaming, is when you walk into a classroom and it's full of people just busy playing games against each other. It's really funny and fun to see that in a learning environment.
I wanted to do everything! I thought I'd be more valuable that way. I looked at other colleges, but they separate 3D and 2D. Here, everything is included in one course. That's why I chose AIT.

Terrific product
Really does make pores look smaller. Love it!Read More
Beautiful overall coverage and I love that my foundation powder has a spf. I'm blonde so this color is very nice for me.Read More
Love Bare Minerals!!!
I just recently started wearing more make up than eye shadow and mascara at 28. I did a lot of research on what to buy, and after almost 6 months of research I decided on Bare Minerals. I am african american and so I was nervous because I read a lot about how Bare Minerals foundation would make my skin look ashy and the color wouldn't ever match me as well as others but I was far too fixated on the selling points of Bare Minerals to care. It is paraben free, sulfate free and do not contain any synthetic fragrances or artificial oils. It is clinically proven to give you noticeably clearer skin, reduce pore size, and increases luminosity. I have never had skin problems so I didn't want my make up to create any for me. I was ready to buy some foundation from the Bare Escentuals website and the prices are definitely more than I was expecting. Overstock has a great price on the Bare Minerals products they have, always the same, more often than not at a less expensive price than the Bare Escentuals website. The foundation itself is lightweight, I never feel it on my face. The coverage is buildable and even the heaviest hand can't mess it up or cake it on, you just keep buffing away with the brush. It is amazing! I would order it now and from Overstock because you won't get a better price!Read More
Bare Minerals Sucks
If you have perfect skin this product will be perfect for you,as would anything else since you do have perfect skin. I have oily problem skin and this product provides 0 coverage - for problem skin it actually hight lights the imperfections. In addition the sizes are akin to sample sizes practically. I contacted the Bare Minerals company and they did not take ownership over my complaint about their product in fact they tried to blame Overstock.com - stating that overstock must be selling fake products.Read More

I have been using this product for many years and to get it at a lower cost than the boutique is very nice. I will purchase again in the future.Read More
This is the best price I have ever been able to find bareMinerals. Super fast shipping!! I will be back :)Read More
Just what I wanted. Exactly as picture. Lots cheaper than buying at big name mall stores.Read More
Questions & Answers
I have used bare Minerals before because I like make up that feels natural. The price on overstock was unbeatable.
Im not sure what shade i whould choose I have a light olive skin tone and no foundation I buy really matches it that well. Any suggestions?
Thank you for your question ksurciuoli. So you have been blessed with that beautiful Olive skin, that a lot of women would die for. How lucky are you? Having Olive skin means that you have a yellow or green undertones to your skin. Skin undertones are the underlying tint or secondary color of the skin. This is helpful in determining whether a person has a warm or cool complexion. Generally speaking, people with yellow/green undertones have warm skin. This can help when choosing hair dye, makeup, jewelry and clothing in colors that are going to be the most flattering for you. We suggest a foundation with some soft pink tones in it. I hope this helps you, have a great day.

Former All-American Alex Kozan ready to return to form for Auburn
The last time Alex Kozan opened the season as a starter for the Auburn Tigers, he helped the team improve from a 3-9 mark to a 12-2 record and a BCS National Championship appearance.

Ratings & Reviews
4 / 5
I decided to have a treatment and this spa came highly recommended and I was not disappointed. I arrived and was greeted by Caitlin who explained the whole process and made me feel comfortable. My modesty was preserved at all times. The session ended with some lovely locally made herbal tea and relaxing in the relaxation room. Amazing!
Caroline L, TripAdvisor, April 2015
The therapist, Caitlin, was fabulous from the minute she rang to confirm my booking. She was extremely caring, warm and friendly and her massage was the best I've ever had.

Did you know that the *storm* on Helms deep was actually unplanned in the movie?
They decided to film it anyways and it was down in the 30s during the siege with all the actors freezing their buns off not really prepared for such a dramatic temperature drop and the snow levels were unusually low for New Zealand during that time period of the battle.
It was one of those *southerners* type storm that comes from the south and brings along cold air with it.
They filmed this in the South Island which has occasional hard freezes during the winter usually when it's clear.

As harsh as Gimlits is he is actually quite right in what he says. Too bad no one even *fans* of the show take him seriously simply because he is a dwarf and not as cool looking as Legolas.
It sucks Legolas is over defended and can do no wrong like Obama with his *good speeches* but nothing real behind it due to the people he works with.

Why doesn't anybody make a fanfic showing Gandalf NOT turning his back on the Balrog or better yet not engaging it in the first place?
I know Gandalf needs to eventually defeat it but his main purpose is to protect the ring and fellowship.
I never really liked Gandalf the grey because he was totally lost in the brain which I assume is from all the crap he smoked in his pipe. His *White* form seemed much better and he was a lot more in tune with things and actually being useful to battles other then just *being* there for the sakes of it.
Gandalf in his white form would NOT have gotten lost in the mines and probably have left Isengard the moment he felt something was wrong instead of following Saruman inside and he definitely would NOT have mentioned Frodo having the ring regardless.

Lady Gaga to Collaborate with Terry Richardson for ARTPOP Documentary
According to The Guardian, Lady Gaga announced on Twitter on December 25 that she is joining photographer Terry Richardson for a new documentary centering on her fourth album "Artpop", which will be released in 2013.
She Tweeted: "Merry Christmas little monsters! Terry Richardson @Terry_World is making a #LadyGagaMOVIE documenting my life, the creation of ARTPOP + you!"
Read the original report here.
This film will be the first documentary about Lady Gaga and has yet to announce a release date, but Lady Gaga will make her film debut in Robert Rodriguez's Machete Kills in 2013. The music super-star is currently working on an album with Tony Bennett.
Richardson's ties to Lady Gaga began when they worked together on a behind-the-scenes photo book with material from the pop star's 2010 and 2011 concerts. The volume was published in November 2011.
Richardson has a controversial reputation despite having taken photographs of huge celebrities and figureheads, including President Barack Obama. His sometimes provocative photos have drawn criticism, but the photographer continues to shoot for Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and more.

ABSTRACT: We present a detailed description of the physical properties of our current census of white dwarfs within 40 pc of the Sun, based on an exhaustive spectroscopic survey of northern hemisphere candidates from the SUPERBLINK proper motion database. Our method for selecting white dwarf candidates is based on a combination of theoretical color-magnitude relations and reduced proper motion diagrams. We reported in an earlier publication the discovery of nearly 200 new white dwarfs, and we present here the discovery of an additional 133 new white dwarfs, among which we identify 96 DA, 3 DB, 24 DC, 3 DQ, and 7 DZ stars. We further identify 178 white dwarfs that lie within 40 pc of the Sun, representing a 40% increase of the current census, which now includes 492 objects. We estimate the completeness of our survey at between 66 and 78%, allowing for uncertainties in the distance estimates. We also perform a homogeneous model atmosphere analysis of this 40 pc sample and find a large fraction of massive white dwarfs, indicating that we are successfully recovering the more massive, and less luminous objects often missed in other surveys. We also show that the 40 pc sample is dominated by cool and old white dwarfs, which populate the faint end of the luminosity function, although trigonometric parallaxes will be needed to shape this part of the luminosity function more accurately. Finally, we identify 4 probable members of the 20 pc sample, 4 suspected double degenerate binaries, and we also report the discovery of two new ZZ Ceti pulsators.

ABSTRACT: We present parallax observations and a detailed model atmosphere analysis of 54 cool and ultracool ($T_{\rm eff}$ < 4000 K) white dwarfs (WDs) in the solar neighborhood. For the first time, a large number of cool and ultracool WDs have distance and tangential velocities measurements available. Our targets have distances ranging from 21 pc to >100 pc, and include five stars within 30 pc. Contrary to expectations, all but two of them have tangential velocities smaller than 150 km s$^{-1}$ thus suggesting Galactic disk membership. The oldest WDs in this sample have WD cooling ages of 10 Gyr, providing a firm lower limit to the age of the thick disk population. Many of our targets have uncharacteristically large radii, indicating that they are low mass WDs. It appears that we have detected the brighter population of cool and ultracool WDs near the Sun. The fainter population of ultracool CO-core WDs remain to be discovered in large numbers. The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope should find these elusive, more massive ultracool WDs in the solar neighborhood.

ABSTRACT: We present high-speed photometric observations of ZZ Ceti white dwarf candidates drawn from the spectroscopic survey of bright DA stars from the Villanova White Dwarf Catalog by Gianninas et al., and from the recent spectroscopic survey of white dwarfs within 40 parsecs of the Sun by Limoges et al. We report the discovery of six new ZZ Ceti pulsators from these surveys, and several photometrically constant DA white dwarfs, which we then use to refine the location of the ZZ Ceti instability strip.
Article: Hubble Space Telescope observations of the Kepler-field cluster NGC 6819. I. The bottom of the white dwarf cooling sequence[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We use Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to reach the end of the white dwarf (WD) cooling sequence (CS) in the solar-metallicity open cluster NGC 6819. Our photometry and completeness tests show a sharp drop in the number of WDs along the CS at magnitudes fainter than mF606W = 26.050+/- 0.075. This implies an age of 2.25+/-0.20 Gyr, consistent with the age of 2.25+/-0.30 Gyr obtained from fits to the main-sequence turn-off. The use of different WD cooling models and initial-final-mass relations have a minor impact the WD age estimate, at the level of ~0.1 Gyr. As an important by-product of this investigation we also release, in electronic format, both the catalogue of all the detected sources and the atlases of the region (in two filters). Indeed, this patch of sky studied by HST (of size ~70 arcmin sq.) is entirely within the main Kepler-mission field, so the high-resolution images and deep catalogues will be particularly useful.Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 01/2015; 448(2).

Article: Comparison of Atmospheric Parameters Determined from Spectroscopy and Photometry for DA White Dwarfs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present a comparative analysis of atmospheric parameters obtained with the so-called photometric and spectroscopic techniques. Photometric and spectroscopic data for 1360 DA white dwarfs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) are used, as well as spectroscopic data from the Villanova White Dwarf Catalog. We first test the calibration of the ugriz photometric system by using model atmosphere fits to observed data. Our photometric analysis indicates that the ugriz photometry appears well calibrated when the SDSS to AB_95 zeropoint corrections are applied. The spectroscopic analysis of the same data set reveals that the so-called high-log g problem can be solved by applying published correction functions that take into account 3D hydrodynamical effects. However, a comparison between the SDSS and the White Dwarf Catalog spectra also suggests that the SDSS spectra still suffer from a small calibration problem. We then compare the atmospheric parameters obtained from both fitting techniques and show that the photometric temperatures are systematically lower than those obtained from spectroscopic data. This systematic offset may be linked to the hydrogen line profiles used in the model atmospheres. We finally present the results of an analysis aimed at measuring surface gravities using photometric data only.The Astrophysical Journal 10/2014; 796(2).

Article: Precise Atmospheric Parameters for the Shortest Period Binary White Dwarfs: Gravitational Waves, Metals, and Pulsations[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present a detailed spectroscopic analysis of 61 low mass white dwarfs and provide precise atmospheric parameters, masses, and updated binary system parameters based on our new model atmosphere grids and the most recent evolutionary model calculations. For the first time, we measure systematic abundances of He, Ca and Mg for metal-rich extremely low mass white dwarfs and examine the distribution of these abundances as a function of effective temperature and mass. Based on our preliminary results, we discuss the possibility that shell flashes may be responsible for the presence of the observed He and metals. We compare stellar radii derived from our spectroscopic analysis to model-independent measurements and find good agreement except for those white dwarfs with Teff < 10,000 K. We also calculate the expected gravitational wave strain for each system and discuss their significance to the eLISA space-borne gravitational wave observatory. Finally, we provide an update on the instability strip of extremely low mass white dwarf pulsators.The Astrophysical Journal 08/2014; 794(1). DOI:10.1088/0004-637X/794/1/35 · 6.28 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: We have identified eight to ten new cool white dwarfs from the Large Area Survey (LAS) Data Release 9 of the United Kingdom InfraRed Telescope (UKIRT) Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS). The data set was paired with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to obtain proper motions and a broad ugrizYJHK wavelength coverage. Optical spectroscopic observations were secured at Gemini Observatory and confirm the degenerate status for eight of our targets. The final sample includes two additional white dwarf candidates with no spectroscopic observations. We rely on improved 1D model atmospheres and new multi-dimensional simulations with CO5BOLD to review the stellar parameters of the published LAS white dwarf sample along with our additional discoveries. Most of the new objects possess very cool atmospheres with effective temperatures below 5000 K, including two pure-hydrogen remnants with a cooling age between 8.5 and 9.0 Gyr, and tangential velocities in the range 40 km/s < vtan < 60 km/s. They are likely thick disk 10-11 Gyr-old objects. In addition we find a resolved double degenerate system with vtan ~ 155 km/s and a cooling age between 3.0 and 5.0 Gyr. These white dwarfs could be disk remnants with a very high velocity or former halo G stars. We also compare the LAS sample with earlier studies of very cool degenerates and observe a similar deficit of helium-dominated atmospheres in the range 5000 < Teff (K) < 6000. We review the possible explanations for the spectral evolution from helium-dominated towards hydrogen-rich atmospheres at low temperatures.The Astrophysical Journal 05/2014; 788(2).

ABSTRACT: We have applied our empirical-PSF-based photometric techniques on a large number of calibration-related WFC3/UVIS UV-B exposures of the core of {\omega} Cen, and found a well-defined split in the right part of the white-dwarf cooling sequence (WDCS). The redder sequence is more populated by a factor of ~2. We can explain the separation of the two sequences and their number ratio in terms of the He-normal and He-rich subpopulations that had been previously identified along the cluster main sequence. The blue WDCS is populated by the evolved stars of the He-normal component (~0.55 Msun CO-core DA objects) while the red WDCS hosts the end-products of the He-rich population (~0.46 Msun objects, ~10% CO-core and ~90% He-core WDs). The He-core WDs correspond to He-rich stars that missed the central He-ignition, and we estimate their fraction by analyzing the population ratios along the cluster horizontal branch.The Astrophysical Journal Letters 05/2013; 769(2).

ABSTRACT: We present the preliminary results of a survey aimed at significantly increasing the range and completeness of the local census of spectroscopically confirmed white dwarfs. The current census of nearby white dwarfs is reasonably complete only to about 20 parsecs of the Sun, a volume that includes around 130 white dwarfs, a sample too small for detailed statistical analyses. This census is largely based on follow-up investigations of stars with very large proper motions. We describe here the basis of a method that will lead to a catalog of white dwarfs within 40 parsecs of the Sun and north of the celestial equator, thus increasing by a factor of 8 the extent of the northern sky census. White dwarf candidates are identified from the SUPERBLINK proper motion database, allowing us to investigate stars down to a proper motion limit mu>40 mas yr-1, while minimizing the kinematic bias for nearby objects. The selection criteria and distance estimates are based on a combination of color-magnitude and reduced proper motion diagrams. Our follow-up spectroscopic observation campaign has so far uncovered 193 new white dwarfs, among which we identify 127 DA (including 9 DA+dM and 4 magnetic), 1 DB, 56 DC, 3 DQ, and 6 DZ stars. We perform a spectroscopic analysis on a subsample of 84 DAs, and provide their atmospheric parameters. In particular, we identify 11 new white dwarfs with spectroscopic distances within 25 pc of the Sun, including 5 candidates to the D<20 pc subset.The Astronomical Journal 03/2013; 145(5).

ABSTRACT: We present extensive calculations of linear and non-linear limb-darkening coefficients as well as complete intensity profiles appropriate for modeling the light-curves of eclipsing white dwarfs. We compute limb-darkening coefficients in the Johnson-Kron-Cousins UBVRI photometric system as well as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) ugrizy system using the most up-to-date model atmospheres available. In all, we provide the coefficients for seven different limb-darkening laws. We describe the variations of these coefficients as a function of the atmospheric parameters, including the effects of convection at low effective temperatures. Finally, we discuss the importance of having readily available limb-darkening coefficients in the context of present and future photometric surveys like the LSST, Palomar Transient Factory, and the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS). The LSST, for example, may find ~10^5 eclipsing white dwarfs. The limb-darkening calculations presented here will be an essential part of the detailed analysis of all of these systems.The Astrophysical Journal 01/2013; 766(1).

ABSTRACT: White dwarf stars cool as they age, hence they can be used as chronometers for various stellar systems. Their value as clocks depends critically on how well we understand the physics of cooling. In this contribution we outline how to derive an empirical cooling sequence and then compare it with a standard white dwarf cooling model. Some differences are noted suggesting that there is still missing physics in the models. A more detailed version of this communication can be found in Goldsbury et al. (2012).01/2013;

ABSTRACT: White dwarf stars with a surface composition completely dominated by carbon and oxygen, the so-called Hot DQs, are found to be magnetic in an extremely high proportion. Here we present new high-resolution spectroscopic observations with the VLT and try to determine whether all Hot DQs could be magnetic at some level. We also discuss further the idea that most, if not all, white dwarfs showing either C I or C II atomic absorption lines in the optical may form a continuous sequence of massive white dwarf stars.01/2013;

ABSTRACT: Here, we report on the white dwarf catalog built from the SDSS DR7 (Cat. II/294). We have applied automated techniques supplemented by complete, consistent human identifications of each candidate white dwarf spectrum. We make use of the latest SDSS reductions and white dwarf model atmosphere improvements in our spectral fits, providing logg and Teff determinations for each identified clean DA and DB where we use the word "clean" to identify spectra that show only features of non-magnetic, nonmixed, DA or DB stars. Our catalog includes all white dwarf stars from the earlier Kleinman et al. (2004, Cat. J/ApJ/607/426) and Eisenstein et al. (2006, Cat. J/ApJS/167/40) catalogs, although occasionally with different identifications. (1 data file).
Article: SDSS DR7 White Dwarf Catalog[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present a new catalog of spectroscopically-confirmed white dwarf stars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 spectroscopic catalog. We find 20,407 white dwarf spectra, representing 19,712 stars, and provide atmospheric model fits to 14,120 DA and 1011 DB white dwarf spectra from 12,843 and 923 stars, respectively. These numbers represent a more than factor of two increase in the total number of white dwarf stars from the previous SDSS white dwarf catalog based on DR4 data. Our distribution of subtypes varies from previous catalogs due to our more conservative, manual classifications of each star in our catalog, supplementing our automatic fits. In particular, we find a large number of magnetic white dwarf stars whose small Zeeman splittings mimic increased Stark broadening that would otherwise result in an overestimated log(g) if fit as a non-magnetic white dwarf. We calculate mean DA and DB masses for our clean, non-magnetic sample and find the DB mean mass is statistically larger than that for the DAs.The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series 12/2012; 204(1).

Using spectral models, we determine temperatures for 887 objects from Wide Field Camera 3 data, as well as 292 objects from data taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys. We make the assumption that the rate of white dwarf formation in the cluster is constant. Stellar evolution models are then used to determine the rate at which objects are leaving the main sequence, which must be the same as the rate at which objects are arriving on the white dwarf sequence in our field. The result is an empirically derived relation between temperature ($T_{eff}$) and time ($t$) on the white dwarf cooling sequence. Comparing this result to theoretical cooling models, we find general agreement with the expected slopes between 20,000K and 30,000K and between 6,000K and 20,000K, but the transition to the Mestel cooling rate of $T_{eff} \propto t^{-0.4}$ is found to occur at hotter temperatures, and more abruptly than is predicted by any of these models.The Astrophysical Journal 09/2012; 760(1).

ABSTRACT: Studies of cool white dwarfs in the solar neighbourhood have placed a limit on the age of the Galactic disk of 8-9 billion years. However, determining their cooling ages requires the knowledge of their effective temperatures, masses, radii, and atmospheric composition. So far, these parameters could only be inferred for a small number of ultracool white dwarfs for which an accurate distance is known, by fitting their spectral energy distributions (SEDs) in conjunction with a theoretical mass-radius relation. However, the mass-radius relation remains largely untested, and the derived cooling ages are hence model-dependent. Here we report direct measurements of the mass and radius of an ultracool white dwarf in the double-lined eclipsing binary SDSS J013851.54-001621.6. We find M(WD)=0.529+/-0.010Msol and R(WD)=0.0131+/-0.0003Rsol. Our measurements are consistent with the mass-radius relation and we determine a robust cooling age of 9.5 billion years for the 3570K white dwarf. We find that the mass and radius of the low mass companion star, M(sec)=0.132+/-0.003Msol and R(sec)=0.165+/-0.001Rsol, are in agreement with evolutionary models. We also find evidence that this >9.5 Gyr old M5 star is still active, far beyond the activity lifetime for a star of its spectral type. This is likely caused by the high tidally-enforced rotation rate of the star. The companion star is close to filling its Roche lobe and the system will evolve into a cataclysmic variable in only 70 Myr. Our direct measurements demonstrate that this system can be used to calibrate ultracool white dwarf atmospheric models.Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 07/2012; 426(3).

ABSTRACT: By selecting astrometric and photometric data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), the L{\'e}pine & Shara Proper Motion North Catalog (LSPM-North), the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), and the USNO-B1.0 catalog, we use a succession of methods to isolate white dwarf candidates for follow-up spectroscopy. Our methods include: reduced proper motion diagram cuts, color cuts, and atmospheric model adherence. We present spectroscopy of 26 white dwarfs obtained from the CTIO 4m and APO 3.5m telescopes. Additionally, we confirm 28 white dwarfs with spectra available in the SDSS DR7 database but unpublished elsewhere, presenting a total of 54 WDs. We label one of these as a recovered WD while the remaining 53 are new discoveries. We determine physical parameters and estimate distances based on atmospheric model analyses. Three new white dwarfs are modeled to lie within 25 pc. Two additional white dwarfs are confirmed to be metal-polluted (DAZ). Follow-up time series photometry confirms another object to be a pulsating ZZ Ceti white dwarf.The Astronomical Journal 03/2012; 143(4). DOI:10.1088/0004-6256/143/4/103 · 4.05 Impact Factor

Backstage: Big queue awaits, Daiginjo Sake on tap
The big story that I was saving for Backstage - the H2O Audio SV-iMini - unexpectedly turned into a main site piece last week when the AP reviewed a faulty unit. We've been playing with a unit and found that in addition to the water issues the AP described, which can range from minor (no issue in a shower, a few drops when dunked) to major (seal fails, case fills with water), there are also some volume issues with the included headphones, as well. From what H2O has told us, some of their headphones get damaged in shipping and don't play at standard volume levels as a result. We've now received two sets of headphones and both have the same issue: plug them in and you get "normal" volume only if you crank up the iPod's volume to max. It's not the case, which we've used with other headphones without a problem. It's the phones.
Our guess is that the AP reviewer had the same issue, but didn't realize that this was also a problem when he took them underwater and found them generally easier to hear against the quiet of the pool. We've tested in a shower and found the headphones almost unusable against a noisier background. A major bummer, because the case's iPod mini interface is so incredibly well-designed. If it wasn't for the fact that you can't really take it underwater and have problems listening to it in the shower, it would be the ideal… well, yeah, okay.
There is an absolutely insane pile of stuff here awaiting review, including (in no particular order): silicone cases from XtremeMac and Gadget Accessories, utility cases from Acme Made, the Charger from Incase, the iPak and iGrip from Handstands, a hundred other things from XtremeMac, the Yahba Opus in-ear headphones, some iPod mini and iPod lanyard and belt clips from Rivet, Marware's TrailVue for 4G iPods, and wood Dock covers from Westshore Craftworks. I'm sure I'm missing a few other something elses, but they're here.
On a personal note, my puppy (Sake the iLounge Husky) is now officially registered with the American Kennel Club under his proper name - Innisfree Daiginjo Sake. Innisfree is the name of his (famous) kennel, and Daiginjo Sake is the top-shelf form of the famed Japanese wine. As Sake's the closest thing to a kid as I have at the moment, I like to mention him on Backstage (and would even post pictures if I thought anyone cared), but try not to blog the mushy boring stuff of my life too often. :-) Maybe this will inspire Dennis to toss up some new photos of Rocket.
Another brief personal note: peace and warm wishes to all of those affected by Ziff-Davis' out-of nowhere closure of GMR and XBN magazines today. While these closures primarily underscore the continued decline of the print magazine business, they conversely demonstrate the inability of major publishers to cultivate and establish their most talented personnel in a marketplace hungering for accurate information. A big shame, and certainly not one that reflects on the individuals laid off today. Good luck, guys.

Nice looking pup, though I'm really a cat person, as is my wife
Incidentally, I've had an iGrip on my dash for several months now—it still holds my iPod, shades, or whatever on the dash. The dash area where you put the iGrip (or equivalent colored grip pads from Handstands) should be reasonably level. If that's the case, the iGrip just works. It needs to be cleaned occasionally to keep its grip.

Metal Shop
It's been a rough couple of months...
by Metal Shop
posted May 25 2010 2:25AM
Since we've started here as hosts of Metal Shop, the metal world has experienced three major losses.
On April 14th, we mourned the loss of one of metals largest personalities - the one and only Peter Steele, vocalist of Carnivore and Type of Negative.
Just last week, we were all saddened by the death of Metal legend Ronnie James Dio. If it wasn't for this man, the metal horns wouldn't even exist.
And today, it has been confirmed that Slipknot bassist Paul Gray aka #2 was found dead in an Iowa hotel room.
Each of these individuals had unique and interesting things to add to the world of metal.
And while it's important that we mourn the loss of our fallen metal heroes, it's in their honor we continue to headbang. Instead of moping around, I suggest your rock "Bloody Kisses," "Holy Diver" and "Iowa" all week long - trust me, it's the only way they would have wanted it!
Horns up to that!

I have been reduced to a running nose (I'm a quiet crier, rarely any tears come when it's about something truly substantial.) by In the Backseat once more. The vinyl Funeral is among the truly worthy investments of my lifetime. I have been a casual listener of Arcade Fire since Funeral came out when I was in fifth grade. (Very weird. I feel extremely young at the moment.) It was great to just sit and listen to them on my Grandma's old record player, to sit and really listen. (Needless to say, I am no longer "casual" about my listening.) My Grandma was my absolute bestfriend. I am not romanticizing the fact either. She lived with me my entire life and I love her so much. I guess that's what I think of when I hear Régine Chassagne sing. I don't know though, I don't really think of anything. I just love to hear her sing with all of the raw emotion she portrays. My family tree is losing all its leaves. What a beautiful and simple and perfect and poignant line. I never get into the lives of band members, I just obsess over their music alone. I did, however come to learn that the death of Regine's mother was what inspired the tune. I think she is such an amazing human being and I feel her whole entire life everytime she comes in with that powerful bellowing Alice died in the night... If that makes a bit of sense. Basically, this is for myself because I like to muse and write and make sense of my brain and my goosebumps, but if anyone does happen to read this; Do yourself a favor and watch this other-worldy and incredibly moving performance of In the Backseat: WARNING: If you have a soul or have ever experienced pain, you will cry.

Originally written on Football Nation | Last updated 10/31/12
Since the Houston Texans joined the NFL and caused the most recent divisional realignment in 2002, the Atlanta Falcons are the 12th team to reach Week 8 without a blemish on their schedule.Whether they will continue that run or not is anyone's guess, but if one looks back at the group that has come before them, things look good for the Falcons...to a point.The Falcons have no qualms about getting to the playoffs, and they should be just fine in that regard. No team that has made it to Week 8 undefeated has missed the playoffs, ever. In fact, only twice since the merger has the last undefeated team missed the playoffs: Denver and St. Louis in 1970 (three wins each), and New Orleans in 1993 (five wins).However, success in the playoffs is not something that's shared by the previous group, and that is where Atlanta's troubles have been strongest. Matt Ryan, Mike Smith and company have yet to win a playoff game, which doesn't sit well with the Falcon faithful but will likely be magnified...

Another way to miss out on revenue is when a practice "self-bundles" codes that could be billed separately, White says. This happens when a practice does not bill for certain encounters or services because the biller expects those claims to be denied. But, White says, this almost always results in lost revenue because some of those claims most likely would be paid. If the insurer is denying routine claims that should be paid, that's a problem that should be addressed directly with the insurer.
"That self-bundling can really hurt you. Maybe not every claim is paid by every insurance plan, but it's those five or six times a year where you collect that are critical if you are going to maximize your revenue," White says. "If you do it, bill it. Make sure you bill for each individual line item, and let the insurer deny it if they're going to. Most of us have been told no before and we get over it, but if you don't ask you're not going to be paid."
Self-bundling can seem like an efficiency measure, he explains, because the biller avoids the time and effort of filing the claim and also any effort to appeal the denial.
"That's a trap, focusing on trying to minimize your adjustments from denied claims," he says. "Focus on maximizing the cash coming through the door, not trying to eliminate denials and adjustments."

Youth Dew should be dabbed, not sprayed, and with a very judicious hand. Better yet, get the bath oil (an amazing value) and put a tiny drop on each wrist. You are now perfumed, not covered with fabric softener or plastic flowers. Like Mitsouko, this American masterpiece takes time to appreciate and perhaps some sophistication (not age, but outlook).

My mom absolutely HATES Youth Dew(so bad that I used to get samples at the mall & hide them in her car just to prank her. Sorry mom!), but its really not that bad. I kind of like it, actually. I grabbed a tester strip of it at Ulta the other day & threw it in my purse. This morning I went to get my makeup bag out of my purse & thought to myself, "Hey, my purse smells like a renaissance fair!". Then I realized it was the Youth Dew sample I was smelling! That's what this smells like to me, it's a dead ringer for the musky, woody, incense-y smell of a medieval fair. I might just go buy a small bottle now, I can't stop sniffing this sample.

When I was a shy teenager I plucked up courage and asked the fascinating older beauty assistant at the local pharmacy what she was wearing as her scent, because I loved it! She said it was Mitsouko, but when I tested that it didn't smell anything like her. I later tested Youth Dew, and found it was exactly that scent, and when I challenged her, she admitted she'd lied because she was embarrassed about the name! Which I can understand, because I am, too.
But the scent itself I love - it's warm, rich, spicy, Oriental, and full of amber and incense. Not what I'd wear on a summer's day, but quite wonderful in autumn and winter. I wear the EdP but based on the reviews I've been reading here I'm going to try the original bath oil.
I don't think you have to be any particular age or type to wear this scent. I'm a fragile-looking pale blonde, and the lady I first spotted wearing it was a plump brunette. It just depends on whether it likes your skin chemistry and whether you enjoy this type of perfume. If you want to smell like Cleopatra - as another reviewer said - or like a Russian Princess (as Estee Lauder claimed), do give it a try. Just don't be too embarrassed to ask for a tester!

Dang it. It's hard to put into words what I want to say about this one.
Cute bottle! Charming story! Beautiful on a vanity.
It's something I'd wear if I was spending the night alone, but sensing that it's a fragrance not everyone likes to smell, I would maybe wear this for my own enjoyment. But that's not why I wear fragrances, to be perfectly honest. I'm not sultry or brunette or mature enough to pull this one off. It's spicier than my enthusiasm can keep up with.

This is truly a scent of my childhood, my mum wore it when I was tiny and she says she bought it because her grandmother (my great grandmother) wore it! She doesn't wear it anymore (she says it's too strong for her) but I've decided to keep up the tradition because I adore it! Though it is quite, well, loud, I think my fashion sense and personality is too, so I guess it suits me. I think the bottle is beautiful too! I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, but if you fancy something quite distinctive this is the one!

OMG - this stuff is a near DEAD RINGER for Shalimar..*gags*. I dare say it's worse! It has the same musty, skank stank minus the old lady Guerlinade and tonka thing going on. Straight up putrid musk with some grass thrown over it. No wonder it looks like stagnant urine. I think I'll buy a bottle just to spray it all over my allergic-to-everything husband when he's asleep..

Back in the day, Estee Lauder (the woman) would run into department stores and break a bottle of Youth Dew on the floor and women would apparently come flocking to the counter to buy it. This scent is an oriental spicy fragrance. Top notes are aldehydes, orange, spices, peach and bergamot; middle notes are cinnamon, cassia, orchid, jasmine, cloves, ylang-ylang and rose; base notes are tolu balsam, peru balsam, amber, patchouli, musk, vanilla, oakmoss, vetiver and incense.

Weezy Jokes About Being Raped
In The Carter, the unauthorized QD3-directed documentary that hit the Internet in 2009 — and is still prompting lawsuits — Wayne revealed that he was molested at the age of 11, and that his surrogate father Baby put the woman up to it. "I got raped when I was 11," he said to Young Money teen rapper Lil Twist. "And I loved it! I ain't never press charges."
