Goodbye Billy Goat Gruff, hello J.D.! Reviving the feathery mullet from his breakthrough role as J.D. in 1991's Thelma & Louise, Brad Pitt was back to his studly self last night at the Salt premiere. His drop-dead gorgeous date, and star of the action flick, Angelina Jolie, didn't look too shabby either, in a more-playful-than-usual Emporio Armani sequined black mini. Hollywood's super couple (sorry, Robsten) looked smitten and carefree at their first red carpet appearance since last December. My, how we've missed them! [Photos: , MGM]
More shots from the premiere below, including stars from all ends of the fame spectrum – Kristin Cavallari, Amber Heard, Real Housewife Gretchen Rossi, and a stunning Naomi Watts.

It's Red Sox photo day in Fort Myers
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Say cheese!
Today is the Red Sox official photo day at the players development complex. For the first time this spring, the guys put on their home whites for the cameras and the photographers clicked away to get some images that will used for a variety of publications, including baseball cards and ballpark programs.
The Globe's Barry Chin snapped a few shots of Victor Martinez (above), Tim Wakefield, Kevin Youkilis, Mike Lowell (below), Josh Beckett, and other players that struck the pose early on this sunny but cool morning in Fort Myers.
"Don't get any pictures of me smiling," a joking Josh Beckett said. "I don't want anybody to think I'm enjoying myself down here."
We've got more scenes from photo day and today's workout in our spring training photo gallery today, the fifth full-squad workout for the team.
For Sunday's batting practice, some of the arms that will take the mound: Josh Beckett, Boof Bonser, Junichi Tazawa on Field 2. Jon Lester, Michael Bowden on Field 3. John Lackey, Clay Buchholz on Field 4. Tim Wakefield on Field 5.

Our home
We as breeders need to give our dogs the absolutley best we can give, as that is the only life they will have. Cleanliness, room to run and play, appropriate comfortable living temperatures and good balanced diets. Last but not least love and attention. Your dogs should not live in any conditions you yourself would not live in. If that isn't possible, get out of breeding!
First and foremost we are Christians believing in God and Jesus Christ, and never wanting to live life with out him. We are truelly thankful for all his blessings and love him dearly. Randy and I were married May of 2003. Randy had lost most of his site and I had lost my husband and was a widow. How blessed we were to find each other and share the same interests.
We are located on 12 acres in a lovely rural setting of Wheatfield IN. We are a small facility that enjoys taking care of our animals as well as showing the dogs. I have been a professional dog groomer since 1981. I started raising dogs 1985. All our dogs are AKC registered. We started showing the boxer breed in 1999 and finished 3 boxers. We have also finished 2 Borzoi and have shown many Chihuahua's with Champions as well. I have always handled my own dogs in the ring except for the boxers. We no longer raise Chihuahua's, all our Chi's are retired pets. We do raise traditional and Parti colored Yorkshire Terrier and we are producing the sealed black boxers. Those two breeds is all we breed. We never over breed our dogs, meaning we only breed once a year. Our dogs enjoy the ultimate in care with toys, treats, large indoor/outdoor runs, play yards, the boxers in a half acre yard and the toy breeds enjoying an 1800 square foot yard that is 60 feet long, and a 700 sq. ft. yard. Indoor runs are heated or cooled with access to outdoor covered cement runs at all times. And of course we have several canine friends in the house. We regularly feed the raw diet here for optimum health. Our dogs take top priority when it comes to care. American Kennel Club inspecter stated in his review, "the dogs were under excellent care and conditions." Our dogs are never ever crated. They all go to bed with a snack. We don't hesitate to take a dog or horse to the Purdue University veterinary college for diagnosis or treatment, as well as using our local chiropractor for both the dogs and horses
Puppies are sold with a 1 year health guarantee, completly worm free, 1st shots and vet checked, food, and treats. Always well socialized. Pedigrees on request. We offer stud service and puppies on occasion.
My husband and I really enjoy riding our Tennessee Walking horses. We ride quite regularly, travel to allot of State parks as well as camp with our horses. I truelly feel once you have ridden a gaited horse you will never want to ride anything else. Of course it helps to have a cadilac ride like my Gracie.
I am so thankful for the individuals through the years that have allowed me to purchase top quality dogs and horses. I am forever grateful.
Comments are welcome and thanks for stopping by. Pedigrees on request.
Please stop and sign the guest book.

CoffeeShop 1V1H Storyboard PS/PSE Action and Templates!
Here is another free CoffeeShop Storyboard PS/PSE Action and Template set! The CoffeeShop 1V1H (1 vertical 1 horizontal) Storyboard can be cropped to fit any standard frame (such as 8x10 or 11x14). Remember, if you are using Photoshop Elements you must have some random image open BEFORE starting this action. Actions won't run in PSE unless an image is open. This action leaves the layers, so you can move or resize the images, adjust the text, or even change the background color (select the background layer and fill it with the color of your choice, it is that easy!).
I also threw in two templates for those of you that don't want to mess with actions. The first is a .psd file with layers and clipping masks. Read my Clipping Mask Tutorial if you don't know how to use clipping masks, they are very easy and make sizing images to fit storyboards so easy! I also included a .jpg image if you don't want to mess with layers.
I hope you enjoy this new CoffeeShop Storyboard. Download the CoffeeShop 1V1H Storyboard PS/PSE Action and Template .
Do you want to download my favorite CoffeeShop PSE/Photoshop Actions and Lightroom Presets or Design Elements in one convenient zipped file AND help support this blog? Just click here for my action pack or here for a download of some of my most popular design elements, storyboards, and textures.

Women's The Weston Spa Robe
Wrap Yourself In the Soft Luxury Of This Plush Spa-Style Robe
Just like the robes you'll find in fine hotels, exclusive spas, and many of the charming inns of Vermont, this kimono-style robe wraps you in a lofty level of comfort that's only possible with 100% Turkish cotton, prized for its long, silky fibers and plush feel that only gets softer with each wash. Spa-length waffle-weave robe is approx. 39" long, overlaps for discreet coverage, and secures with included tie. Machine wash and dry. Imported. Available in both Misses' and Women's sizes.
- 100% Turkish cotton robe
- Softens with each wash
- Kimono style
- Overlaps for complete coverage
- Secures with included tie
The soft, relaxing comfort of The Weston Spa Robe makes every day feel like a getaway.
Women's The Weston Spa Robe 1 1
Not as advertised or photographed It's not lofty. It's not plush. It's not luxurious. This robe is made of a cotton that is almost see-through. The advertised photo is deceptive because if I wear mine and look in the mirror, I can clearly see through the material and see the outlines of the robe's pockets at my hips. I've actually never seen a cotton robe made of such thin material - certainly not in any spa I've ever been to. February 24, 2015

Remember Me
At Camp MMW, students are encouraged to break with convention and bust out of their safety zones. A guitarist can study melody with keyboardist, John Medeski or a horn player can work on mastering rhythm with drummer, Billy Martin. A pianist may develop his groove with bassist, Chris Wood. There will be special guests, group collaborations, and, of course, exclusive performances by MMW. In the anything-goes, non-traditional atmosphere of Camp MMW, experimentation will be encouraged, limits tested, risks taken, and newfound freedom gained in the process.
80,000 acres of New York State's Catskill Mountain wilderness is the backdrop to the collective creative energy of Camp MMW. The lovely Full Moon Resort features charming accommodations in either their turn-of-the-century Catskill country inn known as the Valley View House, or one of seven lodges, cabins, or cottages. The Valley View House is the center of activities at Camp MMW and offers comfortable common areas. Full Moon Resort also has open campgrounds and a bathroom/shower facility for those students opting to camp outside.
A typical day at Camp MMW begins with a buffet breakfast with the band, from 8AM to 9AM, followed by a Master Class/Seminar with MMW at 9:30AM. At Noon, camp breaks for a buffet lunch, followed by free time until 2:45 when students divide into workshop groups with individual band members and special guests. At 6:00 everyone gathers for a seated dinner, followed by the evening's event, which includes performances, jam sessions, films, discussion, bonfires, and the occasional dance party.
All instruments are welcome, with an interest in creating variety.

For the simple syrup mix one cup sugar and one cup water in a saucepan, stir and bring to a boil. Once sugar is dissolved remove from heat. Refrigerate until cold. Blend the ingredients in a blender until pureed.
Divide the puree between four glasses and top with Prosecco or your favorite sparkling wine. Garnish with a slice of strawberry and basil leaf.
Classification: Tequila Añejo
Color: Rich amber
Aroma: Ripe jammy fruit with rich caramel undertones
Taste: Full-bodied and elegant with caramelized cherries, crème brûlée, and layered spice with hints of exotic cinnamon
Finish: A velvety smooth vanilla finish tapering off with rich caramelized-oak and warm spice
This cocktail recipe is specially designed to be created by expert mixologists. Amateurs should proceed with caution.
Add Ice ball to glass. If using a cloud pourer fill the base with water and food grade Ethyl Formate. Fill capsule with dry ice. Pour food grade Ethyl Formate Cloud into glass and let hover. Ritually, pour the chilled Grey Goose through the cloud to part it. Top with Raspberry Juice and freshly cracked black pepper (from a peppermill).
(St. Estephe, Bordeaux, France)
Those of you who do not cellar wine typically have trouble finding wines that are fully mature and ready to drink. The 2006 Ch. Meyney, a left bank Bordeaux from St. Estephe, could be the answer to your prayers. Having personally visited the estate, I can bear first hand witness to the fact that they employ many of the painstaking, labor intensive, quality driven methods that make the classified growths great. The best part, however, is the fact that it is drinking absolutely beautifully right now. Bring on the rack of lamb! The Wine Spectator agrees, saying… "Spicy raspberry and blackberry aromas lead to a full body, with sweet, ripe fruit, subtle silky tannins and a long, caressing finish. This wine is all in elegance and finish. Very fine. Best after 2013." Rating: 90 ★ $55
(Tuscany, Italy)
A new category of Chianti Classico has just been created (February, 2014) called "Gran Selezione." It takes the former highest category, Chianti Classico Riserva to a new plane, by raising the bar on minimum alcohol and extract levels, insisting on all estate grown fruit and increasing the aging requirements from 24 to 30 months. One of the first to be released is the 2010 from San Felice, and it is superb. The Wine Spectator bestowed a 92 rating and proclaimed…"Cherry and strawberry flavors combine with tobacco and black tea notes in this well-structured red. Succulent and balanced, with plenty of grip on the finish. Mouthwatering, revealing echoes of fruit, spice and iron. Drink now through 2023." ★ $50
(Emilia-Romagna, Italy)
As regular readers of this column know, at the Presutti household we are obsessed with food and wine pairing. High quality, artisanal Lambrusco is fantastic with the tradition Italian antipasti. Its gorgeous lower alcohol (about 11%) fresh juicy fruit works stunningly well against the salt of olives, cheeses, Prosciutto and Sopressata, as well as the peppery spice of Cappicola. A definite candidate for the food and wine matching "Hall of Fame." Cleto Chiarli is the oldest producer of Lambrusco, founded in 1860. They are also the first Lambrusco to receive a Tre Bicchieri Award (the highest rating) from Gambero Rosso. This bottling of Cleto Chiarli is one of the best I've ever tasted. Steve Tanzer of "The International Wine Cellar" is as passionate about it as I, commenting…"Bright red-ruby. Exotically perfumed bouquet evokes red berry preserves, violet and sweet spices. Fleshy raspberry and red cherry flavors are quite primary, picking up cinnamon and vanilla qualities with air. Shows no rough edges and finishes with good clarity and sweet, vibrant persistence. Very elegant for lambrusco and deliciously crammed with clean, sweet red berry flavors that linger long on the aftertaste. Lambrusco doesn't get much better than this." Rating: 90 ★ $15
(Napa Valley)
For those looking to pull out all the stops this holiday season, why not go with California's first growth, Opus One. Originally a joint venture between Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Mouton, this was THE original American cult wine and is still one of the most highly regarded wines in the world. The 2011 also has the added advantage of drinking better early on than most Opus Ones. Antonio Galloni, formerly of Robert Parker's 'Wine Advocate, now of Vinous Media (and a fellow Berklee College of Music graduate) enthuses…"The 2011 Opus One may turn out to be one of the surprises of the year. A brilliant, precise wine, the 2011 impresses for its energy. Sweet floral and spiced notes lead to expressive dark red berries, mocha, anise and new leather in a brilliant Opus One. Readers will note the lower than normal presence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the 2011, which is typical for a year in which blenders play an important role. The blend is 71% Cabernet, 11% Merlot, 9% Petit Verdot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 1% Malbec." Rating: 92+ ★ $250
(Mendoza, Argentina)
Santiago Achaval has become an icon of Argentinian wine in a very short time. He began his winery in 1999, but now makes the Wine Spectator's top scoring Malbec (from Argentina) of all time. Having met with him at his winery a couple of years ago, I was surprised to find he was utilizing unusual methods in producing these great wines. Where most believe in long, slow fermentations at controlled temperatures, he was using a short, almost violent, high temperature fermentation to great effect. He also has been known to use enormous fans to lower the alcohol of his wines through evaporation. One might argue the methods, but not the results. A good place to start experiencing the winery is through their entry level Malbec. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gave it a 91 point score, declaring "…a short fermentation … resulted in a very dark-colored, ripe wine with aromas of blackberries, a touch of red fruit, and hints of smoke and spices. It is quite intense. The old vines are always different in the nose and the palate and this feels like an old-vine Malbec, medium-bodied palate, supple, mineral, rounder, velvety, grapy and silkier. Tannin and alcohol are well-integrated and in the background. Drink now-2018. ★ $32
While a life is counted in years, LOUIS XIII is enjoyed over centuries. 150 years went by between the foundation of the House of Remy Martin in 1724 and the birth of LOUIS XIII. From 1821, Remy Martin III blended the first reserves of old eaux-de-vie to prepare for the future. His son, Paul-Emile Remy Martin, inherited this know-how and this passion. As the culminating point of a life dedicated to cognac, he created LOUIS XIII and officially registered the brand name in 1874.
Result of four generations of Cellar Masters, LOUIS XIII is a unique blend of 1,200 eaux-de-vie, all from Grande Champagne, and aged in tiercons, century-old casks made from Limousin oak.
Its name pays homage to the King of France, during whose reign the Remy Martin Family settled in the Cognac region. Its ionic decanter is a replica of a metal flask found on the battlefield of Jarnac. Some more reasons to believe that Louis XIII is the King of Cognacs.
"In 2004, I was conducting my annual inspection when I discovered a most unusual cask. Nature for some reason had blessed this one tierçon with a touch higher alcoholic content. And within that cask I discovered a truly unprecedented expression of those rare flavor notes that are the defining mark of LOUIS XIII.
Cautiously, I set aside this exceptional cask and studied its development for an additional four years. My first impressions were confirmed. The alcoholic content and the flavors remained exceptional. It was then that I made a decision unprecedented in the history of LOUIS XIII.
I decided that the extraordinary distinction that I had observed here would not be merged with other LOUIS XIII tierçons.
This incredibly rare expression of the LOUIS XIII profile would be bottled as a special edition in its own right.
And so the first edition of LOUIS XIII Rare Cask was born. Being a scientist by nature, I have of course asked myself what factors might have produced this remarkable exception.
But I know of no way to replicate the event. Instinct tells me that I will one day find another such cask, and to that extent Rare Cask now takes its place as a permanent companion to the classic LOUIS XIII.
But I cannot say when the next discovery might occur. I know that the alcoholic level will once again be raised, but I cannot say by how much. The tasting profile will be extraordinary, but I cannot say what that profile will be. A Rare Cask is a natural miracle that will always remain beyond the reach of prediction."
– Pierrette Trichet
LOUIS XIII RARE CASK 42,6 signalled its distinction with an alcohol degree beyond the expected 40 percent, 42,6 degrees. But the level of alcohol is merely a signal. What sets a Rare Cask apart is the quite astonishing richness and intensity of its flavours. At the heart of the composition are those prized autumn flavours of nuts and dried fruit – the long-aged flavours for which LOUIS XIII is renowned – no surprise since this cask is by its nature born to the LOUIS XIII tradition.]]>

G-Form G90 Case Turns Smartphone Into Sports Action Camera
More companies are embracing the camera found on everyday mobile devices, in quite literal ways. G-Form, savants of sport protection in a myriad of forms, is very much one of these companies. They make protective padding, sleeves for laptops, and premium rugged mobile device cases for iOS and Android devices. The company is heralded for their protecting cases' Reactive Protection Technology. This tech has preserved iPhones dropped from 1000s of feet. Impressive stuff!
But today the company has pulled back the veil on their new G-Form G90 case. Consulting with "extreme" athletes for a year, the company has toiled to produce the very first protective case that transforms a smartphone or iPod into a sports action camera. The product wields a number of patent pending technologies to maintain aerodynamics and a diminished form factor so all devices can be flat mounted. It can snap images at a 90 degree angle. But more impressive, the G90 sports tech that can increase the field of view on a device lens and capture your favorite fast-paced action in a 140 degree wide format.
The case can attach to virtually any surface, even the underside of a skateboard deck or a helmet. The impact technology maintains the company's rugged and resilient standards. It's also waterproof with the enclosure or remove it for a free-er skeletal back.
G-Form had this to say on the G90 Sports Camera Case:
"Many people have tried to use smartphone or iPods as sports cameras with cases and mounting systems, and it just doesn't work due to the very awkward non-aerodynamic shape of the devices in normal video orientation and the narrow field of view – not to mention the risk of breakage. The G90 case solves all those problems."

Forint Bond Yields Drop to Year-Low on Fed Stimulus Measures
Sept. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Hungarian benchmark bonds gained, sending yields to a one-year low as U.S. Federal Reserve stimulus measures boosted investor appetite for riskier emerging-market assets.
A rally in the government's five-year bonds cut yields by eight basis points, or 0.08 percentage point, to 6.838 percent. The currency of Hungary, the most indebted eastern member of the European Union, depreciated 0.2 percent to 282.78 per euro by 5:09 p.m. in Budapest, paring its five-day gain to 0.6 percent, the first weekly advance in more than a month.
Developing-nation stocks jumped the most in 11 months and currencies gained after the Fed said it will expand holdings of long-term securities with open-ended purchases of $40 billion of mortgage debt a month and hold the federal funds rate near zero "at least through mid-2015."
"The Fed decision caused a substantial drop in yields," Zoltan Arokszallasi, an analyst at Erste Group Bank AG, wrote in an e-mailed report today.
The International Monetary Fund has no date set for a return visit to Hungary to continue financial-aid talks, Gerry Rice, a spokesman for the Washington-based lender, told reporters yesterday.
The delay in the IMF talks limited the forint's rally this month, Levente Blaho and Adam Keszeg, analysts at Raiffeisen Bank International AG, wrote in an e-mailed report today. Hungary's currency advanced 0.5 percent in September, less than the 1.8 percent jump for the Czech koruna and 2.6 percent rally for the zloty, the best performer worldwide.

How Floyd Mayweather Engineered The Greatest Duck In Boxing History
By Scoop Malinowski
Only in America does cowardice pay off in professional boxing.
Here is an unofficial timeline compilation, including all of Floyd Mayweather's massive inventory of excuses since late 2009 to relentlessly avoid a world championship superfight against Manny Pacquiao...
Floyd Mayweather: "All Pacquiao has to do is call out my name if he wants to fight me."
Manny Pacquiao: "I want to fight Mayweather."
George Peterson (associate of Al Haymon): "The fight will never happen. It will never happen. Some fights aren't meant to be made. Floyd will duck Pacquiao forever."
Oscar: "It has to happen. There's just too much money involved."
Floyd: "Manny already has five losses. There is no blueprint to beat me."
Floyd: "I'm not doing the fight because Pacquiao is on steriods, he's won't take the test."
Manny: "Okay, I will take all of your drug tests even on the day of the fight and right after the fight. Let's fight."
Floyd: "I want more money. I'm not interested in boxing right now. I'm cleaning up boxing and cleaning up all sports."
Manny: "Okay, I will take lesser pay, you can have 55%, let's fight."
Floyd: "I'm not doing the fight if Bob Arum is involved. I hate Bob Arum. I'm cleaning up boxing and all sports, to make it a level playing field."
Floyd: "I'm dedicating time to training kids at my gym I'm not interested in boxing."
Manny: "Let's do winner take all."
Floyd Sr: "I fear for my son's life if he fights Pacquiao. That's what it comes down to."
Floyd: "Fans and media please support me, let me duck Pacquiao, I wear the red white and blue, Pacquiao takes money out of America and gives it to Filippinos."
Floyd: "I don't love boxing anymore like I used to, because boxing isn't real anymore."
Floyd: "I lied. Manny Pacquiao is clean, he never took no steroids. I'm sorry. I'm paying Manny a settlement for the defamation lawsuit. But I'm not revealing the three tests where I allegedly tested positive myself just like my two fighters J'Leon Love and Mickey Bey tested positive."
Fans and media: "Pacquiao-Mayweather is the only fight that will draw the biggest numbers in boxing history. We want to see Mayweather vs. Pacquiao."
Floyd: "Health is more important than money. I want to be there for my kids. I don't want to be walking with a limp or end up like Muhammad Ali. I'm smart. I'm a rich scared coward."
Floyd: "I'm on vacation."
Fans and media: "Shut up Floyd, just fight Manny."
Floyd: "I'm not interested in boxing right now, I'm focusing on promoting. Pacquiao needs to avenge his losses to Bradley and Marquez first."
Floyd: "I call all the shots, I'm my own boss. Pacquiao isn't his own boss."
Steven A. Smith: "The way I see it Floyd is ducking Pacquiao."
Pacquiao loses to Marquez by KO
Floyd: "Manny is washed up now so I'm not fighting him. He has to sign with TMT and leave Top Rank."
Pacquiao: "If it's such an easy fight then why not fight me?"
Leonard Ellerbe: "Floyd is never going to fight Pacquiao, Pacquiao had his chance and he didn't take it."
Steven A. Smith: "Manny, do you think Floyd is afraid of you."
Manny: "I think it's kind of that [smiling]."
Floyd: "I want my team to continue handpicking all my opponents. To steal more money from the fans."
Pacquiao dominates Brandon Rios in Macau
Floyd Sr: "Manny has to fight Canelo or Guerrero first then he can have a fight with Floyd."
Floyd: "Manny is 1-2 of his last three fights. He just beat a lightweight that was tailor made for him."
Floyd Sr: "Manny ain't ready for my son."
Floyd: "Manny's PPV numbers are dropping, they aren't as good as mine. Amir Khan is a solid opponent."
Manny: "I want to fight Floyd Mayweather"
World Boxing Council: "We're installing Manny Pacquiao as the No. 1 contender to force Floyd to fight Manny next year."
Floyd: "I don't need a belt, the belt doesn't make the fighter. I'm bigger than boxing. I will vacate the belt. I'm going to handpick Khan, he's a solid opponent. Al Haymon will manipulate Showtime to buy it. Khan is a solid opponent."
Floyd Sr: "Khan is faster than Manny."
Floyd: "The only reason Manny is trying to fight me now is because of his tax problems, he needs the money. He's not challenging me for the fans or to give the world a superfight, he needs the money."
Showtime and Golden Boy waiting for the right time to announce Floyd Mayweather vs. Amir Khan, a fight better suited for ESPN or as a You Tube sparring session than PPV. Showtime desperately hoping Mayweather-Khan doesn't lose another $l2,000,000 as was the rumored financial loss on Mayweather-Guerrero.
Al Haymon has been instrumental in allowing Mayweather to duck Pacquiao. Keeping Floyd undefeated is vitally important for Haymon to maintain his leverage and influence in boxing. As one astute scribe said it, "Floyd Mayweather is the Harlem Globetrotters, all his opponents are the Washington Generals."
American boxing desperately needs a Tyson Ali Leonard type star to sell to the public. Floyd has been chosen to play the role of the modern American boxing star. Mayweather's cowardice combined with Haymon's desperate need to control an "unbeatable" corporate boxing entity are the two reasons why Floyd Mayweather has been permitted to successfully engineer the greatest duck in boxing history.
The only hope to make Pacquiao vs. Mayweather a reality is for annoyed fans to boycott and cancel their Showtime subscriptions until Mayweather is forced to sign to fight Pacquiao.

After months of attacking President Bush's policies, Sen. Kerry is stepping up an assault on his rival's character, challenging Bush's credibility on everything from job creation to the war in Iraq.
Stopping just short of calling the president a liar, Kerry routinely accuses Bush of "running up a truth deficit" and compiling "a long list of broken promises."
His strategy is risky. By challenging Bush's truthfulness, the presumptive Democratic nominee invites scrutiny of his reputation for vacillation and seemingly contradictory stands, such as backing the president's decision on whether to go to war with Iraq but against continued funding for military operations and the country's reconstruction.
"They're swimming way upstream on this one," said Matthew Dowd, a top strategist for the president's reelection effort.
But the reward for Kerry also is potentially significant, as the Massachusetts Senator aims at one of Bush's biggest political strengths: his image as a leader who talks straight and is resolute in his positions.
But much of the erosion appears rooted in growing public doubts about the war in Iraq and, as some see it, the disconnect between the results Bush promised and the way events have played out.
"There are no weapons of mass destruction. After the capture of Saddam it got worse, not better," said one Republican campaign strategist, who has been close to the White House and did not want to be identified as a critic of Bush's policies.
"All of the markers they set have been bogus as far as what the reality turned out to be."
Supporters of the President believe events in Iraq will ultimately bolster Bush's case for reelection. The Republican strategist who criticized the president's handling of Iraq also asserted that Kerry was "all over the map" on the issue.
"It's one thing to accuse Bush of playing fast and loose and another to be seen as a viable alternative," the strategist said. "It's two steps, not just one."
Whether Kerry can turn Bush's character and credibility from an asset to a liability depends on many things apart from the president's performance, analysts said. Not least is whether the Democratic hopeful — who is still introducing himself to voters — comes to be seen as honest and trustworthy himself.
After bombarding television viewers with almost $50 million in advertisements for a month, President Bush's re-election campaign is curtailing its ads in 18 competitive states.
Officials say the move, slated to start Friday, follows the campaign's long-term ad strategy to flood airwaves only when voters are paying attention to the presidential race.
"We had planned on doing waves of advertising in higher and lower amounts from the very beginning," depending on "windows of opportunity" when public interest was high, Dowd, the campaign's chief strategist, said Wednesday.
Dowd said internal polls show the ads accomplished their goal of casting Kerry in a negative light early in the race.
"The two things voters know about Kerry today more than anything else is that he's a flip-flopper and he's going to raise your taxes," Dowd said.
President Bush's $10-million-per-week advertising blitz, intended to define Kerry as a liberal who voted against defense and intelligence spending, was firing up some voters in swing states — until the news coming out of the 9/11 Commission started to drown out Bush's ads.

Ride Along with Mitch
Can the astonishing popularity of Indiana's penny-pinching governor carry him to the White House in 2012?
Jun 14, 2010, Vol. 15, No. 37 • By ANDREW FERGUSON
For a MitchTV fan, nothing can quite compare to seeing the thing play out in person. Daniels said I could go along with him to a couple of weekday events north of Indianapolis, but the day before we were to leave he decided to ride his Harley, leaving me to trail him in a black Sequoia with the state troopers who are a governor's ever-present companions. When Daniels goes by motorcycle, another trooper will ride a bike a respectful distance behind. "I can pretend, at least, I'm all by myself," he said. "It gives me the illusion of privacy for a little while."
Our first stop that morning was North Central High School, in Indianapolis, where the governor was scheduled to bestow a statewide academic award on a prizeworthy math whiz. Daniels grew up in the neighborhood and graduated from North Central in 1967. His grandfather, born Elias Esau, came to the United States from Syria in the early 1920s. He chose the name Daniels at Ellis Island. After a few years Elias—now called Louie—made enough money to return to Syria and find a bride. He brought her back to Monongahela, Pennsylvania, and earned a good living running a pool hall and, his grandson says, making book. Mitch's father married his mother, of Scots-Irish descent, in the Valley, and Mitch was born there, in the same delivery room that gave the world Joe Montana. After the sojourn in the South, his father landed a job selling pharmaceuticals and brought the family to Indianapolis. "It's the typical immigrant story," Mitch says. "Something that could only happen in America, and it happens all the time."
North Central gleamed. A glass elevator stood in the polished foyer, and a ramp curved up to a balcony where one wall was devoted to the school's Alumni Hall of Fame. A picture of Daniels—straight A student, president of the student council, delegate to the national Boys State convention in 1967—has pride of place, next to a photo of BabyFace, the music producer who has evidently been forgiven for discovering Paula Abdul. Later I remarked to Daniels how the schools I'd seen in Indiana all had the same gleam and polish: immaculate athletic fields, vast cafeterias, swimming pools.
"Yeah," he said, "it's a problem."
I'd meant to flatter him but he sounded appalled.
"When we were first campaigning, I started to notice, we'd drive through these rural counties, these very poor counties, and we'd drive up over a hill and on the other side you'd see a brand-new high school that looked like Frank Lloyd Wright had just been there. Enormous gold-plated buildings. It turned out we had higher capital expenditures for educational construction per square foot than any other state. There'd be a bond issue and then the architects and contractors would run amok, spending money on things that had nothing to do with academics. I understand why it happens. The school board likes it because they get to play designer for a year. But we couldn't afford it."
Daniels put a 120-day moratorium on new school bond issues. "We've told them, if you propose a project that costs more per square foot than the national average, be prepared to show cause."
Daniels is a font of statistics, but one comes to his lips more than any other. "Only 61 cents of every education dollar gets into the classroom in Indiana." School funding increased every year under Daniels before the recession, and since the downturn, when most areas of state government have seen cuts of 25 percent or more, education has been reduced by only 2 percent. Yet the local school boards and their Democratic allies in the state legislature continue to complain. Daniels calls education funding "the bloody shirt" of Indiana politics: "It doesn't take long before somebody starts waving it." One of my favorite bits of Daniels video on YouTube shows him at a press conference defending a bill to end "social promotion" in the state's grade schools. School districts were appalled that the bill would pass without "additional resources" to educate the kids who would be held back.
A reporter asked him about it.
"By the time a child has finished third grade, the state has spent $40,000 and the school district has had 720 days to teach that child to read," he said, tight-lipped. "If that child can't read by then, there is a fundamental failure in that district. And they'll need to remedy it. The most unacceptable thing to do is to shove that child along to fourth grade into almost certain academic failure. That's a cruel thing to do, it's a wrong thing to do, and we're going to put an end to it."
The reporter pressed: But won't the schools need more money?
Daniels's eyes got wide.
"More than $40,000 to teach someone how to read? No. It won't and it shouldn't and any school district that can't do it ought to face consequences."

by WanderingOneAt this point, I think it's necessary to write something about how things changed after my sister was born. It's hard to know what to say here—I do not want to tell my sister's story for her, nor could I presume to do so. But it would be disingenuous to attempt to write about my life without explaining how and why things changed. My little sister was, in so many ways, my opposite. Where I was shy, quiet, reserved and even timid, she was outgoing, bold, adventurous, and confident. I went to her Sunday School class rather than my own; I followed her lead in so many things, even though I was the older of the two of us. This didn't always work very well, given that I was s … [Read more...]

I Am So Much More Than a Maiden of Virtue! Part 2 ~ Cousins
by WanderingOneWhen I was four years old my cousin Aaron was born to my mom's sister. The next year, my sister, and three other cousins were born on my mom's side. After that, every year, two or three or sometimes all four of my mom's sisters were pregnant. By the time I was eight, I had thirteen cousins on that side of my family. When my sister and I were added in, that meant there were there were fifteen of us, and I was the only one not the age of five. More often than not (we lived relatively near one another), my mother would take my sister and I over to one of her sisters' houses to do our schoolwork, or to help out with housework. And we might not be the only cousins over that da … [Read more...]
Preparing a Visionary Daughter to Do Hard Things ~ Part 6: Life. Liberty. And the Pursuit of Happiness.
by KieryWhen we arrived, my boyfriend's family and pastor took me in and became my adopted family. They ministered to me and loved me, and generally instilled the confidence in myself, in God, and in family that I had lost.When we announced the news of my engagement, my family started writing my pastor and generally trying to sabotage my wedding by not sending my dress or supporting me in any way. To give me my dress would the same as giving money to a homeless drunk in their eyes. My in-laws and my boyfriend paid for everything, and we used the church for free.It was a (perfect) small wedding. My grandparents came and I walked the aisle alone. I liked this because, it was me, making a … [Read more...]
Preparing a Visionary Daughter to Do Hard Things ~ Part 5: Waking Up
by KieryA failure, that's what I was, a giant failure. I couldn't be the daughter my parents wanted me to be. I had tasted freedom, and I felt like I deserved it. I couldn't go back to being the second mom after being told I was an adult. Adults can't take their children's adulthood away, can they?The 6 months between the split and my 18th birthday were the darkest days of my life. I was horribly depressed, I hardly ate, I contemplated cutting and suicide on more than one occasion. Honestly, if it weren't for the friends I had made before and my boyfriend's pastor stepping up and reaching me when I cried for help, I don't know where I would be. I was mad at God, mad at my parents, mad at … [Read more...]
Preparing a Visionary Daughter to Do Hard Things ~ Part 4: Growing Up
by KieryThe thing about training is that eventually, you grow up and exercise what you were taught. I was taught to think for myself, to stand up regardless of pressure, and in the end, that's what I did.The last half of my 16th year my parents spent drilling into me that I was a capable adult and ready for marriage. I went to visit my boyfriend after christmas and I think my parents fully expected a proposal even though (despite me being 16) we'd only been together since September. I was nervous, naturally. A hasty marriage was being pushed by my family while his were much less hurried. I was scared, because at 16, I interpreted this as there being something wrong...maybe they didn't … [Read more...]
The Destiny of a Virtuous Daughter ~ Part I: Beginnings of the Mask
by Starfury Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me? -MulanFor as long as I can remember, I was somebody else. My driving factors were love, approval, and being wanted, for who I was. That never came, in part due to the fact that in my work to achieve my goals I molded who I was to others' specifications. As a result, I am trying to figure out who I am, even though I'm now an adult. Even now, it is easy to slip into the role that I deem others expect of me. It is hard to summon up the strength to remove the mask I've become so good at wearing, out of fear of reproach and backlash.Ultimately, I was to be the perfect daughter. My family had to appear as the model family, … [Read more...]
Preparing a Visionary Daughter to Do Hard Things ~ Part 3: Critical Thinking
by KieryMany people tell me I'm brave, they can't believe how strong I am. Ten years of playing "mommy 2" isn't overly common in the outside world. People at church would often tell me how lucky my parents were to have me and say "I bet you help out a lot, huh?" and I would nod and say "yes" while scanning the room to keep tabs on my siblings. "You guys are so blessed!" They would exclaim to my parents, "I don't know how you do it." My parents would nod in agreement while other families noted how well behaved we were.It seemed people either wanted to have our faith or detested us. They would aspire to become like my family, or think we were crazy lunatics. We prided ourselves on being p … [Read more...]
Preparing a Visionary Daughter to Do Hard Things ~ Part 2: Maintaining Appearances
by KieryIn time, I would begin to envision myself as a fair rose hidden inside metal armor. Afraid to grow, afraid to feel, staying inside a metal cage meant to protect. As far as appearances went though, you'd never know I felt that way. I don't think my own family knew how I felt, when it comes down to it. Appearances were very important - we always had to look perfect, the house had to be spotless, when we were moving we had to be all happy about it (even if we weren't), that way people wouldn't think there was something wrong. The worst thing that could happen would be for someone to wonder if there was something wrong/ someone wasn't "happy".I joined a speech club when I was 13, an … [Read more...]
Preparing a Visionary Daughter to Do Hard Things ~ Part 1: Big Girls Don't Feel
by KieryI'm no stranger to hard things. In ways my life was built around doing hard things and part of that has made me who I am today. I'm no stranger to sacrifice, conflict, or rejection. For a while, these things seemed to follow me and my family wherever we went.In 19 years, my mom's had 10 pregnancies and 8 children, most of them taking place over the last 11 years. At 8, my life would become a cycle of doing my own thing, and then that being put on hold to take care of everyone and keep the house running until the newest baby arrived. This wasn't always the case...We started homeschooling when I was in kindergarten, according to my parents, primarily because my private school w … [Read more...]

Colors in VDPAU 260.19.29
Sorry for my english. I'm user of Nvidia for several years, the linux version of driver 260.* have a bug so far not been corrected.
In my laptop:
* TOSHIBA Satellite A505-SP6022L (Nvidia GeForce 310M)
* Display: 16'' with 1366x768
When I open a Video (ffh264) with vdpau with FullScreen it ignored the colors stored in nvidia control panel. But if, I force a error in mplayer (with forward, rewind, etc.) and kill the process (mplayer). When open again, mplayer works perfectly, with all the colors stored in nvidia control panel.
In my Desktop
* Core2Duo with Nvidia GT 220 - 1GB DDR2 (XFX)
* Display: 22'' with 1920x1080
The same problem, except that here no matter if you are in Fullscreen or not. The colors are ignored in Window mode and FullScreen mode.
Also, the colors in Nvidia Control Panel are applied, BUT if close and open again de Application, the values are reset.
Note: With the "256.53", it's not happened.

Bruce Willis' return to the Die Hard franchise is nearing, after movie studio Twentieth Century Fox hired a writer for the fourth installment.

Pending approval of the script, Willis will reprise his role as well as produce it through his company CHEYENNE PRODUCTIONS.

Let's begin by reviewing the most frequent seventh chord constructed above scale degree 7, the V65. The chord progressions below should be very familiar:
Exchanging scale degree 6 for 5 yields new harmonic possibilities.
The principle of mixture makes possible the following non-diatonic variants:
Note that the root position leading-tone seventh chord is fully diminished and contains TWO dissonant elements above the bass: a diminished 7th and a diminished fifth. Resolving both dissonant elements results in a root position tonic chord. This characterisitic voice leading will help us determine how leading-tone 7th chords function in inversion.
The resultant half-diminished and fully diminished seventh chords produced by operations 1 and 2 are called leading-tone seventh chords. Although these chords all sound different, their voice leading characteristics are quite similar. As the next example shows how leading-tone 7th chords function very much like linear dominant chords.
In fact, the first three positions (root position, first, and second inversions) differ
by only one note to their corresponding inversions of V7
viio7 (V65) as lower neighbor to I
viio65 (V43) passing between I and I6
Only the viio42(see below) does not correspond to any inversion of V7. Knowing, however, that this chord almost always resolves to V64 , can you explain its harmonic function?
