It takes a certain kind of woman to dump the King.
As one of the first women to break into the rock-n-roll scene, Wanda Jackson's edgy pin-up hair and tenacious lyrics about being an independent woman shocked the prudish sensibilities of parents like the Cleavers. A singer-songwriter, guitarist and pianist recording singles at 17, Jackson was turned down from record deals initially—"girls don't sell records," she was told—until she earned her crown as the Queen of Rockabilly.
In 1956, after touring with Elvis for some time, Jackson turned him down. As story goes, he was a terrible kisser. What a waste of some good hip thrusts.
"There aren't a lot of chicks who rock," bemoans Ali Wadsworth, the Marilyn blonde sitting across from me at The Institute, chatting over drinks about womanhood and the music biz. Next to her, fellow Philly songstress Katie Frank doesn't dispute the sentiment.
We try to rattle off names of those who do, undisputedly, rock: Janis Joplin, the Wilson sisters, Joan Jett, Siouxsie Sioux, Gwen Stefani—though she's up for debate. But Wadsworth is quick to insist these women don't hold a candle to the likes of Freddie Mercury. "He's the one who took it to the next fucking level," she says.
It's an unsettling sort of thing to hear from two blazing stars in Philadelphia's music scene.
Wadsworth is a singer-songwriter with an unmistakably powerful voice—a little bit Billie Holiday, a little bit Amy Winehouse—and a whole lot of personality. Performing in and around Philly with various bands and solo for—well, she can't quite remember exactly how long—Wadsworth made a splash when she and her sister performed a duet on NBC's The Voice in 2012 and at SXSW in Austin, Texas in 2013.
At 33, Wadsworth possesses an unapologetic, confident sense of self. "I'm old as shit," she laughs. "I really like living in my 30s. Everyone's scared to turn 30, and I was freaked out. I was like, 'This is not where I want to be, this is not where I expected to be, I'm not nearly as successful as I thought I would be."
The day after her birthday, she says, it all changed. "I was like, 'Woah, I really like where I am. So what if I can't pay my bills? So what if my gas got shut off last week? I really want to live this life."
Frank heads Katie Frank and the Pheromones, a five-piece folk-rock set that played SXSW in March and is on the bill at this weekend's Philadelphia Folk Festival.
We laugh that she's the only one of us three to get carded—me especially, being 23 and two years her junior—but Wadworth insists Frank's "look" is right for the industry.
She's petite and soft-spoken, but don't let it fool you: Frank is a triple threat—writing, composing and performing her own songs. With a voice that twangs something Southern and tugs on your heart, she often gets compared to Stevie Nicks.
Both these chicks, without doubt, rock—as audiences at PW's annual "Concerts in the Park" series and inaugural "College Fest Free-4-All" will witness tonight, when Frank and her band open for Divers after a set by DJ Lisa Love, and three weeks from now, when Wadsworth joins Thee Idea Men and Damn Right!, preceded by DJ Royale. Both shows, free to the public, are in Rittenhouse Square.
For these two—and other musicians, surely—the writing process is difficult.
"I have songs that have taken, maybe, close to a year," Frank admits. "'Cause I'll get sick of them, revisit them, get sick of them again ... "
"Me too!" Wadsworth injects. "My father's best advice to me was quantity over quality, which is something I grew up with."
I suggest: "Don't you mean quality over quantity?"
She tells us her dad wrote a song a day. Not all were gems, but he valued the ability to start and finish a song.
Frank is the only singer to come out of her family. Her parents and grandparents were musicians, but played instruments in bands. In fact, her mom, a flutist, and dad, a drummer, met in a group.
"My parents were both banders, but they didn't listen to rock," she says. "I started listening to classic rock when I was like, 19. That's when I discovered that I love it, and I started writing again. I just wanted my music to be that way, and then I got a band and I was like, 'Oh shit, I love rock!' You know, it just progressed from there. If I had the rock influence from Day One, it would've been nice."
They both admit that when younger, they lacked confidence on stage as women, mostly because they lacked a female role model.
"I never wanted to put my guitar down [on stage] because ... people are going to assume I didn't write my own songs," Frank says. "That's how it goes for women: If you're not playing the guitar while you're singing, they're going to assume someone else wrote the song. Now, I'm like, fuck it."
Wadsworth agrees. "I was surrounded by amazing male songwriters, how could I write a song as good as them? It took me until my 30s when I could show my songs to people."
She says she picked up the ukulele before learning the guitar because it's easier, but hated the associated stereotype.
"Why would I give a shit about the way people viewed me? But I was so concerned about being this 'I'm so cute, look how adorable I am, playing this teeny, tiny little instrument,'" Wadsworth whines, dripping in mockery. "But I assume that all girls are going to sound the same, and they kind of do to some extent. The cutesy pop stars, like Feist."
The Manic Pixie Dream Girlishness embodied by Zooey Deschanel, Leslie Feist and Ingrid Michaelson is all too familiar. They bring cheer to rom-com soundtracks, wax emotional on teenage break-up playlists, coo soothingly in coffee shops and make cameos on feel-good Old Navy commercials. To Wadsworth and Frank, these ukulele-playing, doe-eyed MPDGs occupy a very feminine stereotype that their fringe-and-leather predecessors—Jackson, Nicks, Joplin, et al—wouldn't dare.
I ask them: Why have there been so few women who rock?
"I think it has to do with just the way the past few 100 years have gone," Wadsworth says. "It just happened later for us—being able to have confidence. It's a little bit easier now."
"Men just give themselves in a different way, and that always pissed me off," she adds. "And it still pisses me off, and it's why I want to succeed as a female rock star. I want to be something for little girls to fucking look up to."
"the tone of this article is nauseating and very embarrassing for the author. who says "chicks" anymore? also, maybe you should explore the vast world of female musicians from the last century before concluding they don't exist beyond whatever mainstream schlock FYE is hawking."
"This article is extremely insulting and embarrassing to read as a woman, musician, and native of Philadelphia. I have always been proud to play music in the Philadelphia music scene but this article makes me second guess my place there. I understand an opinion piece but many of the statements made here are inaccurate. Please show some respect to the many many amazing women who rock and the women and programs working to continue that legacy."
"As a female musician who calls Philadelphia home, I found the article to be disparaging towards our local scene. Writing about emerging female songwriters is great (except perhaps them being referred to as 'chicks' through the entire article. C'mon). However, I found the author's framing of the article to be very offensive. Statements such as "There aren't a whole lot of chicks who rock" are incredibly offensive to a city full of diverse female artists and they completely invalidate an entire portion of our music scene. A publication writing about female musicians should be concentrating on building up an often ignored population and making the public aware of talented and underrepresented ladies. By saying "not many women rock", that's not only insinuating that every female member of our music scene is not talented or musically valid, but also reinforcing age-old stereotypes."

""Wadsworth made a splash when she and her sister performed a duet on NBC's The Voice in 2012"...as I recall, it was more like a belly flop than a splash. She didn't make it. Real rocker there!"
"Ali tries to break stereotypes but she is pictured looking like a dumb blonde trying to pick up a band outside of a concert. Nothing but a groupie wannabe."
"When these 2 start selling out huge concert venues instead of performing free concerts, then they may be able to judge who and who isn't a female rocker. I'm so tired of these pretentious young punks (male and female) who think they know everything and are better than everyone. What a disgrace. There are so many talented female artists in the Philadelphia music scene and Philly Weekly had to pick the 2 most untalented, arrogant females to represent."
"Ali and Kate just alienated themselves from any respectable Philadelphia musician and venue. Good luck trying to book any shows after this interview gets out."
"Where was this picture taken? Looks like the groupie line for the One Direction concert the other night. Keep swinging on everyone's nuts Ali."
"Wow..I can't believe how these two just disrespected all of their fellow female musicians in the Philly music scene. Nice way to make connections and gain fans...NOT."
"Dear Adam Levine, Marilyn Monroe, Big Al the Promoter, Harry Styles, Julia Nunes and Ali's Ukulele: It's pretty obvious all of your comments are written by the same bitter, sour person with some kind of personal ax to grind who is too much of a pussy to sign their own name to the comments.
Ali and Katie are both really talented and working hard at it. Will they "make it"? Who knows? But they're both putting themselves out there, which is more than can be said for you.
Here's a name you might want to use for your next comment: Weasely Coward"

Nope, it is quite easy to create a fake and boring motorcycle...the Japanese have become masters of this. CV carbs with small diaphragm vents to reduce throttle response or fuel injection designed to only respond so quickly. They seem to see these traits as desirable so oafs aren't startled by a 'sudden'--yet commanded--response of power. Limp suspension with imprecise damping. Excessive steering trail to ensure that wobbles and instability don't frighten the inexperienced, serve only to dull the steering feedback in the twisties. Crappy Transformer-like instrument clusters with glitzy displays that will soon fade, crack and craze. Miles of phony engine and frame covers to conceal poorly designed or poorly integrated components (Suzuki Vulcans and Yamaha Viragos are among the worst in this category). Brakes designed to intentionally not startle inexperienced users and therefore have broad engagement zones and poor final amount of available friction.
It is quite common for manufacturers to pasteurize, homogenize, filter and blend something to the point that it becomes as interesting as a block of Velveeta. If you haven't ridden a bike that doesn't suffer from those traits, you owe it to yourself to seek one out.
I tend to like my motorcycles with instant feedback, honest hardware and real suspension and brakes. There is no fake anything here. Every part has a purpose or it didn't make it to the final design. It's honest, spartan and raw. It's also the most 'alive' motorcycle I own.
It's pretty bad when a Harley engine can be described as 'responsive and snappy' compared to so many of the failures listed in this thread. The reality of 65+ ft/lbs of torque available over a 30 MPH spread in every gear makes it a willing backroad accomplice. Every tweak of the throttle is met with an immediate lunge forward. It steers

As we reported last week, Carly Rae Jepsen was recently spotted out and about with boyfriend and fellow musician Matthew Koma. Well, turns out that's not the man who inspired her mega hit 'Call Me Maybe.' Jepsen dumped the 'CMM' boyfriend because she got too busy. Say what?! Someone's treading into some dangerous Taylor Swift territory here.
Baby Lorenzo was wheeled out in the arms of mother Snooki today and of course TMZ gets the first scoop. You can't believe how much hair this kid already has. I think he is ready for some gel and a blowout hair do! Congrats to Snooki and baby daddy
Wow! I was searching YouTube for something fun to post and this video was recommended. I'm not even sure if it's the real Lady Gaga, but it sure looks like her. In the video, she's leaving her hotel and a fan comes at her with a piece of paper presumably for an autograph and Gaga's bodyguard takes him down.

Respond to Review of Hier und Jetzt
by vegantonio
Review: We went yesterday and we were a bit disappointed about the quality of the food. The service Staff are friendly but the food (vegan) is not really the best. The sandwiches were ok, but forget the muffins (old and terrible). If you are vegan, go there only if you don't have anything else. The Atmosphere reminds of the 80ties when you as vegetarian/vegan were accepting everything that did not smell like meat.. time has changed .. for good.

YIELD: Makes about 12 cups, serving 6 to 8
In a heavy kettle cook the salt pork over moderately low heat, stirring, until it is crisp, transfer the cracklings with a slotted spoon to paper towels, and reserve them. In the fat remaining in the kettle cook the onion, the garlic, the bay leaf, and the rosemary, stirring, until the onion is softened, add the celery, the carrots, the turnips, the potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces, the beans, 4 cups of the broth, and 6 cups water, and simmer the mixture, covered, stirring occasionally, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the beans are tender. Stir in the spinach is cooked, and stir in the wine, the additional broth or water to thin the soup to the desired consistency, and salt and pepper to taste. Discard the bay leaf, simmer the soup, stirring, for 5 minutes, and serve it sprinkled with the Parmesan and the cracklings if desired.
To Quick Soak dried beans:
In a colander rinse the beans under cold water and discard any discolored ones. In a kettle combine the beans with enough cold water to cover them by 2 inches, bring the water to a boil, and boil the beans for 2 minutes. Remove the kettle from the heat and let the beans soak, covered, for 1 hour.

The attractive look is complete, when is all is taken care of from head to toe. While the dress and the cosmetics are in place, one needs to look at ways in which the hair can be styled fashionably and in a trendy way. One option is that of highlighting the hair. And if the salon charges are too heavy on the wallet then one can always opt for at home highlighting kits. And it is not all that difficult to highlight medium length hair.
There are ready to use highlighting medium length hair kits. And with a little help from someone at home, one can get the perfect salon finish. However, while doing so at home, one needs to also be aware of after-highlighting maintenance and care methods. This information is generally published in various magazines and newspapers in sections meant for women and fashion tips.
Here is a step-by-step process of highlighting hair at home:
- First one needs to get a highlighting kit that consists of the highlighting cap, or comb, along with the brush. If the kit contains the cap then there is also a hook, which is used to pull out strands.
- When picking up the kit one has to decide the color. Remember it should not be a flashy color and should go well with the skin tone, so that it does not look too loud. One should also select a brand that is recommended and used by experts in their salons.
- When highlighting, the hair has to be completely dry.
- Ideally, highlight the hair in the bathroom, or if in the room then cover the floor where you will be seated with a couple of sheets of newspaper.
- If using a cap then use the hook carefully ensuring the hair does not break.
- Mix the color with the coloring agents in the prescribed proportion.
- Start coloring the portions that have to be highlighted.
- Wait for about half an hour before washing.
- Wash with moisture rich shampoo and conditioner. There are also color enhancing and color protecting shampoos and conditioners.
- Dry and style the hair as desired.

Until the personal watercraft was invented, mankind's only hope for summer fun involved competitive sunburning and watching flowers die. Make the outdoors great with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $49 for a half-hour jet-ski rental for two on one jet ski and two martinis or cocktails (up to a $105 value)
- $299 for a four-hour jet-ski tour of the New York City harbor for up to two on one jet ski (a $600 value)<p>
After cruising around Jamaica Bay on one shared jet ski during a half-hour rental period, guests can return to Thai Rock for their martini or cocktail. On four-hour harbor tours, wetsuit-clad participants voyage past the Manhattan skyline and city landmarks such as Governors Island, the Statue of Liberty, and the World Financial Center. Photos taken throughout the tour will subsequently be available online.
Rockaway Jet Ski
Most visitors to New York City spend their time wandering the streets or riding the subway. Rockaway Jet Ski, however, affords guests a third, often overlooked mode of transportation—water. Located in the Rockaways at Thai Rock restaurant, the company rents out flyboards, kayaks, and stand-up paddle boards, as well as Yamaha VX Cruisers from its exclusive fleet for leisurely jaunts around Jamaica Bay. Guided tours, meanwhile, lead jet skiers past classic New York landmarks such as Ellis Island, the Brooklyn Bridge, and Battery Park, a tranquil seaside park where ducks, squirrels, and wild Energizer bunnies roam. Stand up paddle boards navigate through the serene waters of Jamaica Bay while catching distance views of the Manhattan skyline. Longer jet-ski trips include a journey up the Hudson River, around the entirety of Long Island, or a multiday excursion to Atlantic City.
The Gist
What some people are buzzing about:
"The best way to see NYC! Was awesome.. I recommend takin your own jetski if u take the four hour tour... U can enjoy it and get to be comfotable with the machine"

Conservation NEW
- By: Ted Williams
Tobogganing on cafeteria trays can be dangerous, especially when icy conditions coincide with heavy drinking, as always seems to happen in my part of the Northeast. So I stick to the foothills. But recently a dozen more daring participants were hospitalized. Some suffered cranial pressure from ependymal hematomas; others had bone splinters in their meningeal tissue; still others leaked cerebrospinal fluid. Since the brain-trauma physicians were on a golf holiday in Aruba, the hospital administrator enlisted the custodians, providing them with condensed neurosurgical guidelines along with carte blanche authority to do whatever seemed necessary with their saws, chisels and staple guns. All the patients died.

Tom Rosenbauer's Essential American FliesSubmitted by Greg Thomas on Mon, 03/26/2012 - 11:16.
At first I wasn't too excited when I received Tom Rosenbauer's Orvis Guide to The Essential American Flies, and that was a little hard to admit because I consider Rosenbauer one of the great people in fly fishing as well as a personal friend.
But then I thought about how long I've been in fly fishing and considered what I most often pull from my fly boxes. By doing so I remembered two things: First, I reflected on how useful basic pattern books, including Tying Dry Flies and Tying Nymphs, by Randall Kaufman, were to me when I started tying flies and throwing the long rod; and, second, I peered into my boxes and saw a plethora of P-chute Adams', Prince Nymphs, Hare's Ears, Muddlers, Elk-Hair Caddis, Sparkle Duns, Stimulators, and P-tail Nymphs.

A combination of figurative and factual power is something that all creative artists aspire to - which helps to explain why one of the best-known myths, the story of Orpheus, should have been so often retold through the centuries
The Greek myths features p5
The Argo
Orpheus sang of love and loss, of secrets and treachery, triumph and folly. For the story he sang was his own
The Greek myths features p7
Orpheus and Eurydice
'I had what no man can ever dream of in the palm of my hand, and I threw it away quite heedlessly'
The Greek myths features p10
The Harpies
The Argonauts landed in Thrace to consult blind Phineus, for he alone could tell them how to get to Colchis. When they arrived at Phineus's palace there was a terrible stench. They held their noses as they went through all the rooms, calling out his name. Eventually they found Phineus where the stench was strongest, in the banqueting hall, where the table was weighed down with the ingredients for a wonderful feast. But Phineus was all skin and bones and looked close to death, for the food was quite inedible, covered with a foul-smelling mess of spit and filth. Jason quickly reached into his bag and took out some bread and cheese, but Phineus was horrified and thrust it away. Again Jason held it out to him: "Phineus, eat something. You are starving to death." Again Phineus backed away in terror. At that very moment, the Argonauts heard a woman's scream and saw a swift, dark shape swoop down from above and snatch the food from Jason's grasp. Jason looked up and saw the cause of the stench: two Harpies, with the faces of beautiful women and the bodies of foul-bottomed birds.
The Greek myths features p14
Many more dangers lay ahead for the Argonauts, and many more of the men would be lost en route, but always Hera watched over Jason, for she wanted him to fetch something back for Pelias, and it was not the Golden Fleece

Return to Iolcus
Medea looked for a way to get revenge on Pelias, who had caused her misfortunes

Navasota must deal with traffic as well as district foes
By Aynav Leibowitz | August 6, 2014 | Updated: August 6, 2014 11:42pm
Photo By Smiley N. Pool/StaffNavasota can rely on running back Derrion Randle, breaking loose for a touchdown during the 2012 state championship game, for the third consecutive year.
Photo By Smiley N. Pool/StaffNavasota coach Lee Fedora is interviewed after defeating La Marque in a high school Class 3A Division II football playoff action at Woodforest Bank Stadium Friday, Nov. 30, 2012, in Shenandoah. Navasota won the game 31-20. ( Smiley N. Pool / Houston Chronicle )
More Information
Preseason series
Second in a series of stories counting down the area's top high school football teams.
Navasota's goal is to repeat its perfect 2012 season, but it will have to travel a little different path this year to accomplish it.
After the UIL's realignment in February, Navasota wound up in District 11 of Class 4A Division I, placing the Rattlers with Sealy and HISD schools Furr, Sterling, Washington and Wheatley.
Navasota will travel to Houston for district games against Sterling and Wheatley and a non-district matchup against Yates. Those games are about 11/2 hours from Navasota, but that's before factoring in rush-hour traffic.
Last season, Houston traffic wasn't an issue. Navasota traveled to Coldspring, Lexington, Austin McCallum, Rockdale and Taylor.
"Any district we are in, it doesn't matter who we play, we play one game at a time and try to do our best," said Navasota coach Lee Fedora, who is entering his 10th season.
"We have the chance to be a good team, but we also know that on any given night that you don't bring your 'A' game of football, we could be beat."
Fedora likes his team to be at the field two hours before the game starts, but he said the worst-case scenario this season, considering the traffic, could be arriving 10 minutes before game time.
"We've just got to stay focused and play just like any other game," senior linebacker Coy Imhoff said.
Fedora intends to inform his players of travel plans a week in advance to keep their minds focused on preparing for the game rather than potential traffic problems.
"We are going to play Navasota football no matter what happens," senior offensive tackle Michael Coffey said.
Navasota football last year meant going 9-1 during the regular season and reaching the second round of the playoffs. The Rattlers lost 44-14 to eventual state champion Carthage.
The year before, Navasota and its high-powered offense and opportunistic defense went 16-0 for the program's first state championship. The Rattlers haven't lost more than four games in a season since 2007.
"We are really proud to be the Navasota Rattlers and what we've done the last eight years," Fedora said. "We don't change anything that we do. It's football.
"It's coming out, teaching the fundamentals, moving forward, and seeing what we're doing defensively."
Two focuses this season will be strengthening leadership and team chemistry.
"If you want to be a championship team, it doesn't matter about the adversity, great competition or travel time," Fedora said. "You've got to be prepared, focused and ready to move forward."
Key players
Coy Imhoff: The senior linebacker was a district defensive MVP a year ago and will lead a unit that returns seven starters.
Jerbrell Lipscomp: The senior earned all-district honors at wide receiver and defensive back last season and will be counted on again.
Derrion Randle: The senior running back was on the 2012 state championship team and followed that with 1,326 yards rushing last season.
Key games
Aug. 30 vs. Autonoma de Nuevo Leon: The Rattlers open against a team from Mexico that returns to Houston twice more.
Oct. 17 at Sealy: Key road game comes early in district play but could decide the league championship.
Last year
Navasota went 10-2 and reached the second round of the Class 3A Division I playoffs.

Franklin, TN (PRWEB) August 27, 2013
Each year over 8 million physician and emergency room visits are attributed to complaints of dizziness and imbalance. Symptoms of vestibular disorders can vary greatly from one person to the next and the population range can vary as much as the symptoms. As our population ages many more people will be seeking medical assistance for dizziness and imbalance or injuries due to these complaints. Soldiers returning from combat with post blast or post concussion injuries often have underlying vestibular disorders. The ability for clinicians to perform screening tests for differential diagnosis is critical for the future health and well being of their patients. Only 8% of suspected BBPV patients will have a proper diagnosis prior coming to a therapist. This online vestibular rehab physical therapy continuing education course will provide a foundation for understanding proper evaluation and treatment techniques for various vestibular conditions.

Last Friday night the weather outside was just like that last scene in "McCabe and Mrs. Miller" when Warren Beatty freezes to death in the blizzard about three feet from Mrs. Miller's porch. But inside Syracuse Stage, things were sizzling on the opening night of "Rent."
Based on Giacomo Puccini's enduring and beloved "La boh me" and opening on Broadway exactly a century later in 1996, Jonathan Larson's rock opera "Rent" quickly moved to a larger theatre and ran for twelve years - that's 5, 124 performances - as well as winning the Pulitzer Prize for best drama and four Tony Awards. "Rent" went of to international tours and countless regional productions. Larson's work updated Puccini's impoverished Parisian intellectuals, artists, cabaret entertainers and Eastern European political refugees to modern counterparts in the late 1980s in New York City's East Village. Tuberculosis, the wasting disease of poverty and the moral fringes in mid-19th century Paris, is replaced with the modern scourge and stigma of AIDS. Puccini's painter is now the Scarsdale refugee Mark, a film-maker; the poet reappears as the despairing HIV+ guitarist Roger; a city bureaucrat is now the lawyer Joanne - and so on.
Spoiler alert: this is a rave review. But first, let's back up a little. In 2005 the Broadway production's enormous success spawned a movie directed by Chris Columbus and featuring most of the principals in the Broadway cast. Besides Syracuse University drama alum Taye Diggs as the seemingly rapacious landlord Benny (there's a nice interview with him in Syracuse Stage's current issue of "Stage View," available at performances), that included Idina Menzel as smoldering performance artist Maureen and Jesse L. Martin (Detective Ed Green in all four iterations of the TV series "Law and Order") as Tom Collins. New actors were cast in just two of the principal roles for the film: Tracie Thoms (you might know her from "Cold Case") got the part of Maureen's lawyer/lover Joanne, and Rosario Dawson (considerably better known now that she was) became Mimi. Yes, it begins to dawn on you: in real life, there are some amazing singers and dancers who are paying their rent by playing detectives on television.

Two Nashville Predators prospects hooked up for a highlight reel goal during last night's Milwaukee Admirals game. Cam Reid, Nashville's seventh round pick in 2009, fed a brilliant pass to 2010 first rounder Austin Watson for the Ads' second goal of the contest. Watson would add another goal in the 4-1 victory but, really, this pass was the highlight of the night.

X server 1.9.0 crashes when launching Emacs 23.2.1 (GeForce 310 ; 260.19.06 driver)

Re: X server 1.9.0 crashes when launching Emacs 23.2.1 (GeForce 310 ; 260.19.06 drive
Unfortunately I haven't been able to access the computer remotely so I've tried some juggling on ttys.
I managed to eventually get a gimped coredump (using "gcore"). Reading it again, here's a (useless??) different backtrace :
Core was generated by `/usr/bin/Xorg'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
#0 0x0000000000530355 in ?? ()
(gdb) bt
#0 0x0000000000530355 in ?? ()
#1 0x000000000042a2e1 in ?? ()
#2 0x000000000042123e in _start ()
Given the pthread references in the Xorg.log , I tried "info threads" before that, but alas only one thread (detected?), waiting on a select() at first, then continued till crash.
For the record:
If I had that information prior starting, that would have saved me a few reboots because of the freezes.
No package provides symbols for Arch builds, I'll probably go with brewing a package myself with optimizations off and symbols on with the hope of getting a more useful backtrace.
Meanwhile I've also explored "X -core" option, but this involves running X manually (for the experiment sake, I kept running it under "slim"). I don't believe the coredump would be very different from what I've got without debug symbols. If you think it's worth exploring that way I might spend a bit of time to get that -core option work
I'm attaching full Xorg.log.0.old + a somewhat edited `ps auxf | grep Xorg -A3 -B1` with the hope it will help you get a clearer picture of my setup.
I can provide the compressed coredump I got, 12M Bz2 file, 150M or so uncompressed, but I doubt it could be of any use.
Last but not least, I could reproduce the exact same crash by running kcolorchooser - I'm afraid the list could go on...

Interdisciplinary vs. Multidisciplinary
Interdisciplinary vs. Multidisciplinary
Panel Discussion on the Adapting Relationship Between Marketing, Design and Technology
Marketer, designer, technologist. Which hat do you wear? If you're building mobile apps and web products these days, you're probably sporting all three in some capacity. The lines between these disciplines are blurring and rightfully so.
As the old adage goes, "actions speak louder than words" and in an (inter)active space, it is actions, not words that build brands. It is the sum of all interactions that define today's brands, making the Internet the purest form of branding.
By looking at the work we do in these terms, there is little difference between the role of marketer and technologist, except of course the tools we use. And it is the role of design to create the bridge between the two — putting an (inter)face to a set of actions—or rather, behaviors—outlined by the marketer and brought to life by the technologist.
About the Event
AREA 17 will host a panel discussion to explore the combining fields of study—blending the practices of marketing, design and technology into a newly-formed, yet unnamed discipline. We will discuss the ongoing evolution of each individual discipline with the focus of finding common ground.
The discussion will start with short presentations from each panelist, followed by a moderated discussion. All attendees will be given the opportunity to ask questions and share their own perspective and experiences.
Beer and wine will be provided to grease the wheels of the conversation!
The discussion will be moderated by George Eid, founder and partner of AREA 17.
Presented in partnership with Engine Yard and The Webby Awards with "Li'l Lance" bikes provided by Ride Brooklyn.
AREA 17 is an interactive agency located in New York City and Paris, France.
We take an interdisciplinary approach — blending the practices of design, technology and branding — to create modern interactive systems.
Cosponsored with Engine Yard, the leading Platform as a Service empowering developers to plan, build, deploy and manage applications in the cloud. Providing unmatched control and choice, Engine Yard delivers a trusted, complete application cloud and expert developer support that enables organizations to focus on creating great applications, instead of managing their platform

Civic Theatre Annex rummage sale runs Friday and Saturday in North Park Shopping Center
Costumes, props, scripts and an array of nontheatrical items, including clothes, housewares, books, DVDs, CDs, new shower heads and lighting fixtures, will go up for grabs Friday and Saturday the Evansville Civic Theatre Annex rummage sale.
The sale, to raise money for Civic Theatre's new Annex, will run from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. both days, at 4492 First Ave., in the back section of the North Park Shopping Center, said Christopher Tyner, Civic's managing artistic director.
Hundreds of items will go on sale, with prices ranging from a quarter to $50 for a pair of new lamps, said Tyner. Some the merchandise comes from the community theater's costume and props shops, and much more of it comes from donations turned in by more than 20 families who brought in items from their basements, attics and garages.
"One family gave a garage full of things," Tyner said. "They made five trips to deliver them."
Evansville Civic Theatre will use the money to help pay for creating a theater in the North Park Shopping Center in the space formerly occupied by the Oxygen nightclub.
For more information, call the theater at 812-425-2800.

Colleges and suicide threats: when to call home?
The email that arrived at Virginia Tech's health center in November 2007 was detailed and unmistakably ominous. It concerned a Tech senior named Daniel Kim and came from an acquaintance at another college.
"Daniel has been acting very suicidal recently, purchasing a $200 pistol, and claiming he'll go through with it," the email read, adding details of a reported previous suicide attempt with pills. "This is not a joke."
By the time Virginia Tech told Daniel's father, William Kim, about that email, it was too late.
A few weeks after it was sent to the school, he spoke with his son for the last time, Daniel indicating all was well and after final exams he'd be home for the holidays.
A few days after that, parked in his car outside a Target store near campus, Daniel fatally shot himself in the head.
"If I'd known, I could have taken him to doctors, get him on medication, make him normal again," William Kim, who owns a Washington, D.C., convenience store, said in a recent telephone interview, grief still echoing in his voice four years after the fact.
Virginia Tech's actions were all the more confounding coming just months after the murder-suicide rampage on the same campus by another student, Seung Hui Cho, which had supposedly prompted campuses nationwide to rethink their previous emphasis on confidentiality in treating troubled students.
"Who is going to take better care of him than his parents?" Kim said. "I never had the chance to do anything for him. That's a terrible feeling."
In an agreement finalized by a judge last month in a multimillion-dollar lawsuit brought by the family, the Kims settled with Virginia Tech for $250,000, plus an endowed scholarship in Daniel's name. But William Kim also insisted that the agreement include language requiring Virginia Tech to notify parents of a potentially suicidal student unless it documents a reason not to do so.
The university, which admits no fault, maintains the language reflects policies already in place there under a 2008 state law, and wouldn't have made a difference for Daniel Kim anyway. It continues to insist that, after sending local police to check on the student, and despite the detailed email, it had no reason to believe he was actively suicidal and thus didn't need to notify his family.
But the family's attorney, Gary Mims, insists the settlement goes further than the state law, which applies only to students treated by university mental health services. Now, he says, Virginia Tech must at least consider notifying parents if it receives an indication from any source a student may be suicidal. Several experts described it as among the strongest such policies in the country.
The issue of when colleges should notify parents their adult children may be suicidal remains fraught with legal, medical and ethical dilemmas. College policies, state laws and professional codes of conduct vary widely - and occasionally conflict.
Some mental health professionals call the Virginia Tech settlement the latest step in a trend they welcome: Threats to safety increasingly take precedence over preserving confidentiality. They emphasize that in many cases, involving parents is not only right, but helpful.

Deloading Week: I'm only working out 3 days this week because I'm headed to the cottage on Thurs.
Bench Press 2x15 195lbs.
Hammer Curls 2x15 35lbs.
Dips 2x15 Body Weight
This is a real nice break. You feel fatigued after each set, but it's not nearly the level of the 6+2+2+2.
Squat 225 2x15
Rack Pulls 225 2x15
Calf Raises 100 2x15
Last deloading day.
Assisted Pull Ups. 70lbs. 2x15
Supported Tbar Rows. 100lbs. 2x15
SM Seated Military Press. 145lbs. 2x15
Back at it Monday. I think the next set of exercises will be better for my low back. I'm wondering if you could keep doing this forever, or after a year or so should another program be used. I guess if I'm still getting results I'll keep using this system.
That's awesome you decided to make a change! Your lifts are looking pretty strong. I had a back issue a few years back, which became aggravated by conventional deads and seated presses. I ended up ignoring it and trying to work through it (alternate exercises), which just made it worse. I had no choice (at the time) to switch to modified sumo and totally do away with presses. After a few months, the sharp pains in the lower back began to dissolve and I worked my way back into it slowly. Now, I watch it a lot more carefully and don't hesitate to take time off or avoid certain things.
Thanks for the words of encouragement, Carl. I lost a bit of strength on my bench, due to 4 days of debauchery. :)
Bench Press 275x6,285x6,295x6,305x6+2+2+2

Dips BWx6,10x6,25x6,45x6+2+2+2
10 min. Brisk Walk
I ate 1,490 calories today. My plan is to up the calories by 500 a day per week until I get to 3,000. I may have a hard time getting it in while trying to eat cleanly. I'll do my best.
Leg Day!! Hack squats were ass to the grass. I did stiff legged dead lifts and they shredded my hamstrings.
Hack Squats 275x6,295x6,315x6,335x6+2+2+2
Stiff Legged DL's 125x6,135x6,145x6+2+2+2
Seated Calf Raises 100x6,115x6,125x6,135x6+2+2+2
40 mins walking (moderate pace)
Overall, this was super busy. I should have got to the gym more, but at least I got everything in once. I did play some softball for the first time in 20 years on Thurs.. :) My body felt worse than after leg day.
Assisted Pull Ups (neutral grip) 85x6,70x6,55x6,40x6+2+2+2
Supported T-Bar Rows 135x6,145x6,155x6,170x6+2+2+2
Seated Military Presses (SM) 225x6,235x6,245x6,255x6+2+2+2
I'm on hiatus until 9-10-12. The tennis elbow was too much to bare with the hammer curls. Dr. suggested two weeks off. I will probably do legs a few times, but I'm going to try to recoup a bit.

How to Create a Flat, Minimalist Rock Card Using Adobe Illustrator
about 5 days ago - No comments
What You'll Be Creating Today I'm going to show you how we can create a flat, minimalist rock card using some of Illustrator's basic tools such as the Ellipse Tool and Rectangle Tool combined with the power of the Pen and Direct Selection Tools. Buckle up, and let's get started! Truth be told, I was and probably still am deeply fond of rock music. From the crazy riffs of Pantera to the grungy sounds of Pearl Jam and Nirvana, this culture has always held a big influence over my growing-up years and probably that's why I still come back to it time and time again. Since I am sure that most of you out there have at least one rock song close to your heart, I decided it would be nice to create a rock-inspired card that could be used for personal projects. 1. Setting Up Our Document Since I hope you already have Illustrator up and rocking, let's start by creating a New Document by either pressing Control-N or by going to File > New . Once the popup windows shows up, adjust the document's settings as follows: Number of Artboards : 1 Width : 562 px Height : 638 px Units : Pixels And from the Advanced tab: Color Mode : RGB Raster Effects : High (300 ppi) Align New Objects to Pixel Grid : checked 2. Setting Up Our Layers Once we have created our New Document it's time to layer it so that we can create a nice, tidy workspace which in the end …

Spike Lee & Eminem to Team Up on 'Headlights' Video
Over the weekend, Eminem revealed to fans on Instagram that his next music video will be a partnership with legendary filmmaker Spike Lee.
Shady turned to Instagram to share a photo of himself and Lee on the set of the video shoot along with the caption, "Spike came out to The D for the "Headlights" video...Coming soon."
Check it out at left!
Lee's successful roster of films include 'Do the Right Thing," and 'She's Gotta Have It.' He has also directed music videos for such groups as Public Enemy's "Fight the Power," and Naughty by Nature's "Hip Hop Hooray."
In addition to his solo career, Eminem is a member of the group D12, as well as one half of the hip hop duo Bad Meets Evil, alongside Royce da 5'9". Eminem is one of the world's best-selling music artists and is the best-selling artist of the 2000s. He has been listed and ranked as one of the greatest artists of all time by many magazines, including Rolling Stone magazine which ranked him 82nd on its list of The 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. The same magazine declared him The King of Hip Hop. Including his work with D12 and Bad Meets Evil, Eminem has achieved ten number-one albums on the Billboard 200. Eminem has sold more than 80 million albums and over 120 million singles worldwide. As of March 2014, he is the second best selling male artist of the Nielsen Soundscan era and the sixth best overall selling artist in the United States, selling 44.91 million albums.
After releasing his debut album Infinite (1996), Eminem rose to mainstream popularity in 1999 with the release of his second album, The Slim Shady LP. The Slim Shady LP was a commercial success and earned the rapper his first Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. His next two releases, The Marshall Mathers LP (2000) and The Eminem Show (2002), were worldwide successes, each earning US Diamond certification in sales. Both albums also won the Best Rap Album Grammy Award, making Eminem the first artist to win such an award for three consecutive LPs. This was followed by Encore in 2004, another critical and commercial successful album. Eminem then went on hiatus after touring in 2005. He released Relapse in 2009 and Recovery in 2010, which was named the best-selling album of 2010 worldwide, becoming the rapper's second album, after The Eminem Show, to become the internationally best-selling album of its year. Eminem won Grammy Awards for both Relapse andRecovery, giving him a total of 13 Grammys in his career. His eighth studio album, The Marshall Mathers LP 2, was released in November 2013.
Eminem has opened other ventures, including his own record label Shady Records with his manager Paul Rosenberg. He also has his own radio channel, Shade 45 on Sirius XM Radio. In November 2002, Eminem starred in the hip hop drama film 8 Mile. He won the Academy Award for Best Original Song for the film's iconic song "Lose Yourself", becoming the first rap artist ever to win the award. He has also made cameo appearances in The Wash (2001), Funny People (2009), and the television series Entourage.

September 2011 Recipe Card Challenge
Here are the instructions for this month's recipe card challenge/exchange:
1. Click HERE for this month's starter kit; it will be free to those who participated in the prior month's challenge. Please use this kit (or papers/elements you design in the same color palette) so the cards will "coordinate" and to ensure we don't violate other designers' TOU.
2. The general theme for this month's cards is your favorite PARTY TREATS recipes ~ the post below this one includes more information. Be creative and have fun with your cards! If you need different metal tags and don't have them from previous kits, send me an e-mail and I'll make them for you.
3. Design your recipe card(s) however you'd like. Include your name, forum name ~ whatever you want ~ on the card.
4. Create your original card at 6" wide X 4" tall (1800 and 1200 pixels) and save it as a 300 ppi jpeg, quality between 8 to 10. These are the print-quality cards that will be shared with all participants. You will also need to resize your card at 72 ppi to post in the gallery.
WHEN FINISHED with your card(s), do the following 3 things:
1. E-mail your print-quality, 300 ppi recipe card to email@example.com so it can be included in the download file at the end of the month. Several participants have asked for blank copies of the cards you design, so if you're willing to send me both (with and without the words), that would be great!
2. Upload a picture of your 72 ppi card to the Recipe Card Challenge Gallery. Please upload only your actual recipe card ~ not the blank cards.
3. Post a link here in this forum thread no later than September 30.
At the end of the month, all participants will receive a link to download all the cards created that month. Bon appétit!!
Re: September 2011 Recipe Card Challenge
In honor of theStudio's birthday celebration this month, the focus for September's recipe card challenge will be on party treats! It doesn't have to be "sweets" ~ although I think many of us have unashamedly admitted our great love for chocolate! There are no boundaries or restrictions ~ if you make it for a party, include it on a card! Some ideas include cakes, homemade frosting, cupcakes, ice cream, petit fours, finger foods, appetizers, drinks, etc.
I really was going to make a smaller starter kit this month, but I just couldn't stop myself! I love the fun elements and bright colors ~ I'm pretty sure I'm going to expand this into a full-size kit before the weekend is over!
I look forward to seeing all your cards!
Re: September 2011 Recipe Card Challenge
BEAUTIFUL!! I Can't wait to get started!
Re: September 2011 Recipe Card Challenge
I really love this kit, Maurine. So adorable!
Re: September 2011 Recipe Card Challenge
Oh, wow...a great category! I just went to look at the Sept kit and I love it! Seems like each month outshines the previous if that's possible. This is amazingly cute! Thanks for the great challenge and kit, Maurine.
Re: September 2011 Recipe Card Challenge
You are all so sweet ~ thanks for the positive feedback!! : )
Quick update on the August challenge: I've sent the coupon code for September's starter kit to everyone who has sent me their cards, and hopefully have sent a note to everyone I still need cards from. If you haven't heard from me one way or the other, please let me know as soon as possible. Once I get all the August cards, I'll send participants a message that includes the download links. You're about to receive another wonderful collection of recipes and blank cards!
Re: September 2011 Recipe Card Challenge
Sweet, sweet kit, thanks. And since, I am one of those chocoholics, guess it will be that type of recipe.
Glad to hear you are feeling better. Now, the hard part, don't overdo.
Re: September 2011 Recipe Card Challenge
Here is a blank and 3 Recipes.
Re: September 2011 Recipe Card Challenge
I hope this works=))
Re: September 2011 Recipe Card Challenge
Adorable Maurine - I may have to pick up the full kits to do a page for my kids!!
In my blank cards I will also sent one that has the pink/girl element replace with the boy/brown element.
Re: September 2011 Recipe Card Challenge
What fun cards and recipes already -- this is shaping up to be my favorite month so far! Funny, I think that EVERY month! : )
All August participants should have received the coupon code for September's starter kit and the download links for all the August cards. If you have not, please send me an e-mail...
Re: September 2011 Recipe Card Challenge
Here is my card for September. I had to get it done quickly this month. Waiting on daughter to have a baby! New grandbaby yeahh!!
Re: September 2011 Recipe Card Challenge
Hi Maurine: It's me again...Toni. Why is it when I upload my recipe cards, the shadow is much farther away from the element than what it looks when I am working in CS5? It is a good ways out from where I placed it, the shadow that is. Could it be when I change it to 72ppi?
Re: September 2011 Recipe Card Challenge
I'm not sure, but my initial thought is this: do you flatten your image before you resize it to the 72 ppi? I know I sometimes end up with weird shadows when I don't flatten first. If not that, does anyone else have any ideas?
Re: September 2011 Recipe Card Challenge
No, I have never flattened them. I went back and flattening the image worked in PS, but the picture still looks the same when I post it here. So I will assume it does have something to do with flattening, but who knows if I will ever get anything to work right!! I'm still quite a newbie at this stuff! Thanks so much for ALL of your help.
Re: September 2011 Recipe Card Challenge
BARB.... Love your card!
Re: September 2011 Recipe Card Challenge
Here are my party food cards. Love the kit as always. Thanks.

Just got my motor mount for my new sidewinder combo in today. Still ironing out how I want to mount the esc and the on/off switch but I also need to figure out what I want to do for gearing since it looks like I need a bigger spur and pinion gear.
Currently I only run the traxxas 6 cell nimh (sometimes in parallel but that doesn't matter for this) Eventually I will get 2s or 3s lipos but waiting to spend the money and learning to drive better first.

Similar changes have also been reported in the human, indicating that the NO system is a potentially important system for uterine relaxation during pregnancy.
Studies on the use of NO donors as tocolytics in the threatened preterm labor in women have been limited to very few. In 1994, transdermal patches of GTN were reported to prolong pregnancy for a mean of 59 days in a group of 13 women. In 1996, in another group of 10 women, pregnancy was prolonged for a mean of 46.2 days. The effects of GTN appeared to be due to reductions in uterine contractions in these preterm labor women. It is unknown from these studies whether NO donors are superior to other tocolytics; however, the side effects appear to be less severe.
It is unclear if the intact uterine NO system is critical for maintaining uterine quiescence during normal pregnancy. Studies in the rat and sheep indicate that inhibition of NO synthesis prior to term does not result in parturition; however, this does occur in mice. It is possible that NO may interact with other uterotonins and that the resultant effects may depend on these interactions. Moreover, uterine NO synthesis has been shown to be regulated by estradiol and progesterone, key hormones in pregnancy. Progesterone not only enhances NO synthase expression and NO synthesis in rat uterus, but also enhances NO-induced uterine relaxation. On the other hand, antiprogesterones decrease NO synthase enzymes, inhibit NO synthesis, and reduce uterine relaxation responsiveness to NO. Furthermore, inhibition of NO synthesis during pregnancy in the presence of a low dose of antiprogesterone leads to preterm labor in the rat. On the other hand, NO donors prevented prostaglandin F2α-induced preterm labor in the rat. These studies in the rat suggest that NO may interact with other uterotonins in the maintenance of uterine quiescence during pregnancy. In conclusion, uterine NO system may play a role in maintaining uterine quiescence during pregnancy, and perturbation of this system could facilitate preterm parturition.
