Dimpled Spindle by Eva Zeisel | Tibetan Wool Rug
3 Recommendations
DesignDingo's recommendation
The play of shape and color in this rug designed by Eva Zeisel is simple yet undulating. Muted tones of lavender, blue, rust, green and yellow evenly sit, organized into triangular shapes that have a dimple in the center...the dimpled spindle. Rug made of Tibetan wool and silk.
My Collections:
tomokotahara's recommendation
Beautiful rug!Like a piece of art.
My Collections:
laurasweet's recommendation
Designer Eva Zeisel has created three rugs for The Rug company; Lacy X, Fish and Dimpled Spindles, all of which play off of her organic sense of shape and design.

Men's VIP List
Both Women's & Men's VIP List
Persol comes from "per il sole" meaning "for the sun", highlighting these iconic shades' function of protection against the sun's rays. For nearly 100 years Persol has been providing great style and function in eyewear. One of the brand's early fans was Steve McQueen, known as an everlasting men's style icon. We love the retro styling of the PO0649 and the collapsible quality of the PO0714 favored by McQueen. If that's not enough check out many of Hollywood's stars sporting them too; or you may say modern day icons wearing icons.
GQ's obsessed and so are we. Need new gear for the beach? Lightning Bolt offers great swim trunks and sick graphic tees and tanks emblazoned with the bolt and we've got a great stash to choose from. Pair 'em with your favorite jeans, havaianas, some Burkman Bros. bracelets and killer shades and you're good to go! (more…)
The California classic board short is back with a vengeance and no matter what your favorite color is we've got you covered. Whether lying in the sun or riding the swells, no guy's closet should be lacking these killer trunks. We offer an array of solids, plaids and patterns. We also offer the capsule collection from Neil Barrett and you can score his version in CAMO! Pair these sick board shorts with some Havaianas, Raybans and Burkman Bros bracelets and tanks and you're good to go! Don't just take our word for it T – The New York Times Style Magazine, Esquire and the LA Times concur. (more…)
Kanye West rocked 'em at Coachella and we've got one of the best Burkman Bros. bracelet assortments out there.
We coined the term WEAR WORLDWIDE here as Doug & Ben are always inspired by their travels. This season is no different and the locale this time is the island of Kaua'i. We say ALOHA and the bros have brought us a huge variety of tanks in colors and stripes, all cut to show off the results of your tropical rock climbing or simply hours in the gym. Pair those tanks with original jacquard, striped and printed shorts and arm yourself with a handful of bracelets and you're ready for the tropics, the Hudson river, the Hamptons or the Santa Monica pier. (more…)
Everybody has aviators, wafers, and such. Everybody has black, brown, and gold sunglasses. How can we be unique? Go for a a different color frame. If you want it to still work as an everyday pair of shades, stick with a basic color that works with everything. Michael Bastian for Randolph Engineering designed these radical navy frames and we dig them in a big way. Be unique and people will notice.
When WWD features anything it is a BIG DEAL. When WWD features Kanye West, it is a HUGE DEAL!!! What was Kanye rocking? Answer: Mono & Me bracelets. While the rapper from Chi-Town watches the throne, we watch what Ye is wearing. Snag 'em here.
Who: Red Wing Shoes
What: Beckman 6″ Round Toe in Cigar Featherstone

Why: They are extremely durable, as they are clean and stylish, so this is a great investment.

Political Pulse: 01.17.10
CORPUS CHRISTI - Jurors a bit too eager to leave courthouse
After jury selection in a recent murder trial, 148th District Judge Marisela Saldaña dismissed jurors and some made for the double doors a bit too quickly for her.
Like many judges, she had planned to thank the remaining pool of people for their service as they left.
The judge, who is seeking re-election, drew laughs as she dashed to the doors to catch them and shake hands with each departing potential voter.
No more consultants, Kieschnick insists
During a meeting of the City Council's administration committee Monday, Councilman Kevin Kieschnick made it clear he wanted to avoid one thing he criticized previous councils for doing: hiring consultants.
When discussing a proposed development for the Corpus Christi ship channel, one city staff member explained the process the city needs to strike a deal with a private company.
"Private partner?" Kieschnick interjected. "We're not talking about a consultant are we?"
City leaders assured him that they were talking about the development firm.
"OK, good," he said. "We don't need another consultant."
Chesney, Adame clash on coliseum
City Councilman Brent Chesney wasn't happy with moving on with Memorial Coliseum demolition during the council's meeting Tuesday. He wanted one more idea debated.
Local architect George Clower suggested tearing down the building but leaving the roof as a shade pavilion. Mayor Joe Adame asked Clower to meet with city staff instead of debating it during the meeting.
Chesney interjected, asking to discuss the "neat idea."
"It's shortsighted to dismiss it, because it's late in the game," he said. "It doesn't show leadership."
Adame stood his ground, saying that city staff needed to vet the idea.
"I'm not afraid to discuss it just because the coliseum is a political hot potato," Chesney said.
Follow the lead of Thumbs Up Johnnie
On Tuesday, Rep. Abel Herrero, D-Robstown, and Rep. Solomon Ortiz Jr., D-Corpus Christi, attended a reading event at Crockett Elementary focused on teaching healthy eating habits and fitness.
Children's author Michelle Bain read her book, "Adventures in Fitropolis," about a thumbprint character named Thumbs Up Johnnie and his quest to eat healthier foods.
After the presentation, Herrero told the children to ask their family members to skip junk food.
Since Thumbs Up Johnnie is a thumbprint, each child carries along their form of the character on their thumb, he said. If a child reaches for a bag of popcorn or a candy bar, oh watch out, Thumbs Up Johnnie doesn't like that, Herrero said.
Ortiz noted that Herrero was a hard act to follow, adding it makes people feel better when they eat healthy.
Swearing-in not without a joke or 2
At the swearing-in ceremony Tuesday for Port of Corpus Christi Commissioner Bob Kostelnik, County Judge Loyd Neal, who was in charge of Kostelnik's oath, was dressed to the nines in a black suit.
"The mayor and I are dressed alike," Neal said after Mayor Joe Adame walked in. "Joe and I are dressed like this because we are going to our own funeral."
Businessman and former Port Commissioner Joe Fulton snickered.
"He has definitely got his pallbearer suit on," he said.
Neal was under pressure before Tuesday morning from some in the community not to swear Kostelnik in because of questions whether he was eligible to serve due to residency requirements.
Gift to Bonilla leaves him a bit nervous
At the swearing-in ceremony, Neal thanked outgoing Port Chairman Ruben Bonilla for his service on the commission and said: "I'm partially responsible for his conduct for the last eight years. After that, he's on his own."
Bonilla, usually a font of good humor and jokes, was uncharacteristically taciturn when he stepped down.
"Everybody thinks I worked hard. Only Rosie knows how hard," Bonilla said of his wife.
Bonilla said he would give no grand goodbye speech and turned to examine gifts from Commissioners Bobby Gonzalez and Ken Berry.
Berry, once Bonilla's political adversary, and Bonilla recently have voted together on issues, including a plan to institute port patrol boats.
When Bonilla took a gift from Berry he hearkened back a bit to the old days with Berry.
"I'm a little afraid to open this," Bonilla said. "I'm afraid it's explosive. It's not explosive is it?"
But last year was a long time ago
Minutes later with a newly seated Kostelnik, the commission voted for officers.
Commissioner Judy Hawley nominated a slate with Mike Carrell as chairman, Richard Borchard as vice chairman and herself as secretary/treasurer.
Berry objected to the single nomination for three positions and asked for individual nominations.
Carrell was surprised.
"Mr. Berry, you used a slate last year at this time," he said.
Kaelin seen without his trademark hat
At the scholarship breakfast honoring civil rights legend Dr. Hector P. Garcia on Thursday, American GI Forum National Chairwoman Patsy Vasquez-Contes already had introduced dozens of politicians when she noticed an apparent stranger.
Someone pointed out that the man was Sheriff Jim Kaelin, sans his trademark cowboy hat.
"I'm so sorry sheriff," Contes said. "He's not wearing his hat. That's why."
John Lennon show not likely to happen
Dr. Garcia's daughter Cecilia Garcia Akers introduced her husband, Jim Akers, and then told on him. The couple was watching late night TV when Paul McCartney came on, and Mrs. Akers said she would love to see him live.
For her birthday, Jim Akers got her tickets to see McCartney at Cowboys Stadium.
"He was telling everyone we were going to see John Lennon," she said. "Jim is not a big Beatles fan."
A little while later, state Rep. Todd Hunter, the event's keynote speaker and a longtime Garcia family friend, pointed to Jim Akers.
"Only Jim would go to Cowboy Stadium to listen to somebody who had passed away."

Having just spent some time reviewing a bunch of the sites that make up the Porn Nerd Network, I had a pretty good idea what to expect as I signed in and what I expected is exactly what I got. What is that? Well, let us see, shall we?
Let's begin with site design and navigation. When you sign into the PornNerdNetwork, you'll see a page filled with thumbnails representing all the sites in the network (there are over 20). This is all well and good and you can click on any of the images to be taken to that individual site. However, there is no way to access all the network content together or filter/search it all or anything like that. The only option is to go site by site, which is a bit of a navigational annoyance if you ask me.
This setup also makes it hard to count, but I did my best and I feel comfortable saying that there are over 1,100 videos and more than 1,200 photo sets (my count might include some vid cap sets as I could have missed them when going through the sites). And although not all the sites are updating and nothing is dated, I found out that there are multiple updates per week throughout the network. Okay, now let us look at some of the actual sites.
I will start with MILF Mia who is a very sexy lady. Her site consists of all kinds of solo and hardcore action. The Art Of Handjobs is a pretty self-explanatory title (duh, lots of cock-stroking). With Porn Nerd Asia you are getting all Asian smut and with Porn Nerd Europe, well, I think you can guess where all the girls are from. And then there is The Porn Nerd, the site that started it all. It features a divorced guy living in his mom's basement who films mostly POV porn.
As you can see there is definite variety among the sites as far as their focus goes. One thing that does seem to hold them all together as a network, though, is that most of it is amateur. Sure, there are a couple sites with pornstars, but generally the sex and performers are of the amateur variety.
And as for the quality of the content, it ranges from average to HD. You'll find most coming in at around the good-quality range. The movies are all downloadable, but I didn't find any sites that offered the videos in a streaming format as well.
I wouldn't give it a big recommendation, but I would say that The Porn Nerd Network is a definite case where the whole is much more interesting than its individual parts. In this case if you come across a small site or a site that doesn't have the best-looking videos, or one that isn't a niche that excited you, you can just move along to the next one. And there should be enough good ones to make amateur porn fans consider getting a membership.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

After the cold of winter, sprigs of greenery holding the promise of colorful, cheerful flowers can't come fast enough. But if your patience is wearing thin, there's a way to tide you over while you wait for the seasons to fully change — add some "green" supplements to your regimen!
Green supplements may be extracts from the leaves of plants or grasses, or may be plant parts that are ground into a powder (available in capsule form or a substance that can be mixed into beverages). They're packed with nutrients — and can be a great way to experience some of the benefits of greens you can't grow in your garden…quite yet.
Here are a few popular green supplements to try:
Chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a natural pigment that gives plants their green color. It's essential for photosynthesis, a process that produces energy from sunlight. Found in all green plants, chlorophyll has especially high concentrations in spinach, kale, alfalfa, cereal grasses and seaweed.
Chlorella. Chlorella has often been referred to as a superfood because of its rich phytonutrient content, including chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, antioxidants and protein. Chlorella supports antioxidant enzyme activity and nurtures the intestines' ability to capture and excrete environmental contaminants, especially when combined with a healthy, fiber-rich diet.
Wheat grass. Wheat grass, which is the sprouted form of the common wheat plant (Triticum aestivum), is rich in phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals and plant proteins. Wheat grass is harvested early, before it turns its characteristic golden color and produces grain.
Green superfood drinks. Mix-in powders, such as Garden of Life Perfect Food Raw Organic Green Super Food, make it easy to reap the benefits of multiple greens at the same time. Just stir a heaping scoop into water or juice for 34 different organically grown greens, sprouts and vegetables bursting with vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, enzymes, probiotics and more. If drinking greens isn't your thing, this supplement is also available in convenient vegan capsules.
What's your favorite way to replace green food from the garden? Share it with us in the comments below.

Colophospermum mopane (mopane)
Colophospermum mopane (Photo: P. van Wyk)
Species information
mopane, butterfly tree, turpentine tree
This widely distributed species is not currently a conservation concern.
In river valleys, woodland or wooded grassland, commonly below 1,000 m altitude.
Timber, fuelwood, fodder, medicine, tannins, resins and soil stabilisation.
About this species
Colophospermum mopane (or mopane as it is commonly known) is an economically and ecologically important tree that dominates the savanna woodlands of south-central Africa.
Discover more
Geography and distribution
This species occurs in an area exceeding 500,000 km² in south-central Africa, which includes southern Angola, northern Namibia, northern Botswana, Zimbabwe, southern Zambia, southern Malawi, northern South Africa and Mozambique.
Overview: Colophospermum mopane occurs in a variety of forms depending on local environmental conditions. These range from a small stunted form, usually not more than 2 m tall, which does not produce fruit, to a fruit-bearing tree of 20 m in height.
Leaves: The leaves comprise a single pair of leaflets, each measuring about 5 to 10 cm long by 2.5 to 5 cm wide.
Flowers: The flowers are greenish, inconspicuous and about half a centimetre long.
Pods: The pods are pale brown, flattened and up to 6 cm long and 3 cm wide.
The species grows gregariously, meaning that many individuals grow together to the near or complete exclusion of other plant species. The pollen is thought to be carried on the wind. This method of pollination is often associated with inconspicuous flowers because plants that do not require an insect or animal to pollinate their flowers, do not need to develop conspicuous flowers to attract the pollinator.
Threats and conservation
This widely distributed species is not currently a conservation concern.
The principal uses of Colophospermum mopane include timber, fuel wood, animal browse in the dry season (but it is also used for fodder), medicine, tannins, resins and soil stabilisation.
Colophospermum mopane is of great value in southern and south central Africa. It is an important species in savanna and woodland ecosystems, providing important resources for people, animals, insects and the soil.
The greatest biocultural value placed on mopane is for fuel and timber. A recent study showed that families in the rural north-east of South Africa harvest up to 8 kg of mopane a day for fuelwood. The timber is used for fencing and construction; it is known to be durable and resistant to insect damage.
Colophospermum mopane is a vital constituent of mopane woodland, providing browse for elephants and other herbivorous animals. It is the host plant of the mopane worm, the larva of the moth Acanthocampa belina. The large caterpillars measure up to 8 cm in length. They are an important food source in Botswana and are a highly sought after and protein-rich delicacy.
Millennium Seed Bank: Seed storage
Kew's Millennium Seed Bank Partnership aims to save plant life world wide, focusing on plants under threat and those of most use in the future. Seeds are dried, packaged and stored at a sub-zero temperature in our seed bank vault.
Number of seed collections stored in the Millennium Seed Bank: Four
Seed storage behaviour: Orthodox - the seeds of this plant survive being dried without significantly reducing their viability, and are therefore amenable to long-term frozen storage such as at the MSB
Germination testing: Successful
Composition values: Oil content 10%
Colophospermum mopane is grown at Kew in a mix that is high in organic matter. The mix also contains perlite, granular fertiliser and Seramis. The zone in which the pot is kept is heated to 24 ˚C during the day and 18 ˚C at night. In the winter however the zone is simply kept frost-free to simulate temperate conditions. Soil moisture is checked daily but usually the species will only require water twice a week in these conditions. Feeding is carried out twice a week. This consists of a foliar feed and a liquid applied to the root zone. This species is grown under bright light, with very little shading used. Colophospermum mopane has not yet flowered at Kew.
This species at Kew
There is one specimen of this woody plant at Kew, growing in the Jodrell Glasshouses, one of Kew's behind-the-scenes areas.
A host to noisy, yet delicious, caterpillars!
Trees of Colophospermum mopane often play host to the mopane worm which is the larval form of the moth Acanthocampa belina. Caterpillars eating the protein-rich leaves of Colophospermum mopane sometimes occur in such large numbers that the sound of their feasting can be heard from several metres away. The large caterpillars measure up to eight centimetres long! They are a highly sought after local delicacy and are rich in protein.

Thread: Skin tones
March 28th, 2012 #1
Skin tones
Whilst painting this week's chow, I realised I have no idea about colours. I can do them when I work on a painting from a photo, but without a photo, I cant get past greyscale, plus I find it hard to know what colours will look like when I use overlay/multiply etc.
So I've started a personal campaign to make myself better at colouring with a minimum number of brushes and flashy overlays etc.
First: Skin.
I saw something similar on the internet and so I'm doing the same pose (that way I only have to worry about the light/shade/colour etc).
The hand positions were really hard, I was gonna spend ages working on them, but that's not the point of this exercise.
Ta in advance guys.

The black background robs you of two thirds of the usefulness of such an exercise.
Skin tone, like any other color, does not exist in a vacuum. It only works as seen in a particular environment. The color of skin in late sunset light and color of skin in fluorescent light and color of skin under black light are completely and utterly different. Cut a figure perfectly lit by the sunset out of its environment and stick it in an office with tube lights, and it will look completely fake.
Since you haven't given any thought to the environment - the background - there is no way to know how well your skin tone works.

I find it hard to believe you didn't use a photo reference for this study. You should post your reference if you are looking for a crit on it. Otherwise it's just a study and doesn't really need to be critiqued. Try applying your studies to a relevant piece and then offer it up for crits.
What you call flashy overlays such as multiply, overlay, and adjustment layers are tools used to make corrections to colors and tones. Since there is nothing wrong with the skin tones or colors in this study as you most likely used the color picker there is no need to critique it, especially since it lacks context of environment such as arenhaus mentioned.

There is no background because the background would have taken time to do and I would've gotten carried away and not concentrated on the colour (which was why I did this in the first place), btw, I was thinking indoors and warm tones.
maybe if I do a few different images with different tones: artificial light, cold tones etc.

You're not getting what Arenhaus is saying, colours are only local and self contained in a theoretical sense.
In terms of real world behaviour, they reflect into and modify each other constantly , also how we perceive a colour is massively affected by the other colours around it.
That's why you'd need some sort of environment* or context for us to say anything useful about the skintones..
*by environment, I don't mean a steampunk city in three point perspective, I mean "plain white room with warm sunlight" or whatever..

What has really helped me understand how light interacts with objects (light is responsible for color, after all) is doing life drawings using different colored light bulbs or filters. Perhaps you could tackle it that way? Along with what others have said, a black background is probably not a good base to draw off of, because when do you ever see a lit body against a *truly* black background? Light doesn't work like that in real life. Another example would be if you put a piece of small piece of green paper on a large red piece of paper, the way your eye perceives the green paper will be different if you were seeing the green paper against blue, or black. Color is relative, which is why we think your background is important to consider, even in the slightest.
Also, nice observation of the shoulder/back area. That part of it is what works to me the most.

Okay, Barefoot
Basically depending on the light source the skin tones will look different.
Skin colors come from pigment, so they don't change. So if your model looks a little more yellow or blue, then your light source is altering your perception of the skin tones. Just the same way that some colors change under a black light - the light source is changing, so the color only LOOKS like it is changing.

Realistic color rendering is kind of an illusion. Things aren't always just different shade of the same tone (I.e. skin isn't just varying from dark brown to light orange)
Others already mentioned how surroundings affect the tone. Since you mentioned this is an excercise and you don't want to spend too much time on the bg, try go with a different underpaint (you may need to start over though):
I usually pick a cool color for underpaint, since flesh is warm color, this gives a good contrast. For fair skins I suggest greyish green or blue. For dark skins, try bluish purple.
After you pick a good color for underpaint, proceed with the rest like how you normally do.

So you cannot really concentrate on color but ignore the color environment. A few color blobs in a background, to establish the referent for the figure, would not be wasted time. If you were afraid to get carried away, you could have always allotted yourself 15 minutes to establish the background and set the alarm clock.
maybe if I do a few different images with different tones: artificial light, cold tones etc.

With CUNY Study, Ex-Yale Chief Seeks New View of Public Colleges
Published: August 30, 1998
(Page 2 of 2)
Such observations make many faculty members and students at City University fearful that he has a vision far different from theirs. Still, as Mr. Schmidt and his researchers have made their campus visits, some faculty members and students have said they were pleasantly surprised by the tone of the discussion, although they still express misgivings about what they believe will be the results.
''It was an interesting dialogue,'' said Mizanoor Biswas, president of the university student senate and the student representative on the university board of trustees. He said Mr. Schmidt let him and other student government leaders talk extensively of their concerns about the ban on remedial programs and other topics.
''I did not expect it to be that good; I thought we would be asked questions about attendance,'' he said, alluding to Mayor Giuliani's contention that the university did not pay enough attention to attendance records.
Others on campus, however, remained more skeptical.
''He essentially said all the right things -- 'We're going to examine this' and 'My integrity depends on this,' '' said Bernard Sohmer, a City College math professor and president of the university faculty senate, describing Mr. Schmidt's meeting with its executive committee.
Mr. Schmidt does not anticipate having a final report much before the end of the year, but says there may be interim reports, possibly as early as next month, on topics like remedial education.
Whether the Mayor and the trustees will embrace the final report is also an open question. The Mayor has been known to reject task force reports that do not please him, as he did with one in March on relations between the police and the public.
Mr. Schmidt has learned from his experience with Edison that change can be unexpectedly difficult to achieve. When he left Yale, he talked of creating a ''revolution in education,'' and Edison's goal was to be running 200 schools by 1996, but the total will have reached only 50 this year.
Still, he says the Mayor has been supportive so far. And he clearly hopes the committee report will have an effect well beyond City Hall.
''This will not necessarily be persuasive to everybody,'' he said. ''But it will be something that will advance the level of strategic thinking and planning.''
He expressed confidence that the university could be greatly improved. ''There is no question in my mind that significant changes in the outcome are very possible,'' he said. ''The question is whether there is the will and political capacity to do it.''

Sure - I totally get what you're saying. What I'm saying is that it makes for interesting drama in a TV show if you have characters having this argument in much more dramatic fashion. That it would be really really fascinating to see conflict arise over these issues on a starship where you really can't get too far away from the people who are bugging you about this stuff (religious or atheist). Maybe even go so far as to have a fundamentalist character that everyone else needs to tiptoe around.
My argument is entirely based on how interesting this would be to see play out as a conflict arising between characters.
IDIC, right?
We see things like this occassionally, for example Worf's Klingon beliefs or the whole Bajoran religion thing DS9. However, regardless of their personal beliefs the Starfleet officers are rational, scientifically minded people and tend to put their duty first. A person who cannot do that do not belong in the Starfleet. Of course, such conflicts can be better explored with new aliens and other non-Starfleet quest characters.
Yeah, but that gets boring after a while. Too many aliens-as-archetype episodes. It's difficult to take the Klingons or Ferengi or Romulans seriously as a culture when they're basically avatars for human traits. I would like to see it in a Starfleet role. More diversity among humans in more capacities than just their skin color would be MUCH more interesting.
You also notice your language when discussing this? That people who work in Starfleet are rational, scientifically-minded people? And that anyone not of that mind-set is inherently too flawed to fit into Starfleet?
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or fucking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Mackenzie Allen Phillips's youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation, and evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later, in this midst of his great sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgment he arrives at the shack on wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change his life forever.

I have since bought copies two for friends and one for myself.

Honeytrap 1.0.0 Released
Version 1.0.0 of the honeypot daemon Honeytrap has been released. It has a completely reworked configuration mechanism and new plugins.
The GPL'd program registers attacks against TCP services. When a request arrives from an unknown port, Honeytrap dynamically launches a server process to handle it. This avoids the need for the software to continually bind thousands of ports. Connection monitors based on Libpcap, Netfilter/Iptables or Netfilter_Queue handle the bindings. Honeytrap will run in various modes, including a proxy mode where it forwards connections and sniffs traffic. The daemon comprises two parts. The program core collects data and can load plugins at runtime for analysis purposes. Plugins currently available store strings and malware from attacks, and special extensions are available for identifying FTP and TFTP commands. In addition to this, there is a parser for attacks on VNC servers, a pluging that decodes Base 64 encoded exploits, and a module that identifies attacks heuristically using similarity checks. Honeytrap 1.0.0 is available as a source code archive on the Sourceforge download servers. The subversion repository for the project also supports access to the current sources. In addition to this, the download page has Xen templates and Qemu images for the virtual Honeytrap server.

Engineering students urged to consider nuclear field
Despite its challenges, including responding to last year's disaster in Japan, nuclear power needs to be part of the nation's energy mix in the years ahead, speakers at a University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee seminar said Thursday.
The nuclear power industry is looking to expand in the coming years, after a construction hiatus that led to few plants being built in the past 20 years.
Look for five new reactors to go online by 2020, said John Williams, senior engineer at Southern Co., the nation's largest utility. The Georgia-based power company won approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission last week of a license for a new nuclear plant that would generate twice as much power as the new We Energies coal-fired power plants in Oak Creek.
The $14 billion project is projected to create thousands of construction jobs and 800 permanent jobs in Georgia, he said.
The revival of the industry will create jobs for engineering students such as those who attended Thursday's seminar at the UW-Milwaukee College of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
The aging of the nuclear industry's workforce and the U.S. Navy's push to build a new fleet of nuclear powered submarines is creating considerable demand for engineers to consider the nuclear field, said Alan Perlstein, a consultant who formerly ran the Milwaukee plant of DRS Technologies Inc.
DRS makes power control systems for Navy vessels, and companies like DRS and General Dynamics are going to have a huge need for talented engineers, he said.
"It's a vibrant industry that's quiet, but technically challenging," Perlstein said.
"This is going to create a huge amount of jobs," said John Bobrowich, executive director of the Wisconsin Energy Research Consortium, a research partnership of the state's leading engineering schools and major Wisconsin companies involved in power, controls and electronics.
Wisconsin is home to three nuclear reactors that generate about one-fifth of the state's electricity. Some of the nation's oldest reactors, the two at Point Beach and one at Kewaunee are all licensed to continue operating until the early 1930s.
Utilities in Wisconsin have expressed interest in overturning the state's moratorium on nuclear reactors, but a push to do that during the current legislative session was derailed by the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant meltdown and the Legislature's focus on mining legislation.
As a result, many substantive energy policy issues, such as wind power siting, nuclear power and funding restoration for the state Focus on Energy program, have been pushed to the sidelines.
Critics of nuclear power say the country shouldn't be moving quickly to add more reactors because the long-controversial issue of how to deal with highly radioactive spent fuel from nuclear plants hasn't been resolved and given that new reactors are requiring substantial federal subsidies, including $8.3 billion in loan guarantees for Southern Co., to help utilities with overcoming financing and construction risks.

Isner beats Blake in 3rd-set tiebreaker at DC
WASHINGTON Psssst. Here's a little advice for any tennis player who finds himself facing 6-foot-9 John Isner at the Legg Mason Tennis Classic: Don't let the match get to a third-set tiebreaker.
The 11th-seeded Isner edged neighbor, pal and doubles partner James Blake 7-6 (0), 1-6, 7-6 (4) Thursday in a match delayed a day by rain to reach the quarterfinals in Washington. Half of Isner's 18 career matches at the hard-court tuneup for the U.S. Open have been decided by a tiebreaker in the third set, and he's 8-1.
"It's bizarre. It's hard to explain," said Isner, the Legg Mason runner-up in 2007. "I find myself in that situation, really, more times than not, especially on that center court. So it's definitely something that I'm accustomed to."
Actually, John, it's rather easy to figure out why you have success in that situation: You hit big serves, and those really help in tiebreakers. On Thursday, Isner hit 13 aces and overcame 46 unforced errors, including seven double-faults, to beat Blake for the second time in a span of two weeks.
Isner also needed three sets to top Blake at Atlanta on July 21, the first time they faced each other as pros. They live near each other in Tampa, Fla., practice together frequently and had teamed up at Legg Mason but pulled out of the doubles event after Thursday's singles match so Isner could conserve energy.
Blake actually won more points Thursday, 112-103, but Isner was better in both tiebreakers.
Facing someone as tall and powerful as Isner is "a whole different brand of tennis," Blake said.
"At some points, it's out of your control. Sometimes they take the racket out of your hands," added Blake, who won the 2002 title at Washington. "It swings on one or two points, but there's so little that you can do about it."
The next man who will try to deal with Isner is No. 3-seeded Viktor Troicki, who beat Kevin Anderson 6-3, 6-3.
Also reaching Friday's quarterfinals was unseeded Donald Young, who beat Michael Russell 6-3, 6-3 in an all-American matchup. Young now meets No. 7-seeded Marcos Baghdatis, the 2010 runner-up, who won two three-set matches Thursday.
Baghdatis first defeated Somdev Devvarman 6-2, 0-6, 7-5, then eliminated No. 12 Thomaz Bellucci 3-6, 6-3, 6-2.
Because rain wiped out half of Wednesday's schedule, the tournament began Thursday action at noon, four hours earlier than originally scheduled, and some players were forced to play twice in one day.
Top-seeded Gael Monfils, for example, beat 15th-seeded Dmitry Tursunov of Russia 6-2, 7-6 (9) in the third round at night, after having defeated 66th-ranked Ryan Sweeting of the United States 6-3, 7-6 (3). Monfils' quarterfinal opponent is No. 6-seeded Janko Tipsarevic, who got past Michael Berrer 6-3, 6-4, then Grigor Dimitrov 6-4, 6-2.
No. 5-seeded Fernando Verdasco - one of the lucky ones who didn't need to play twice - got to the quarterfinals with a 6-4, 7-5 victory over No. 9 Nikolay Davydenko. Verdasco will face Radek Stepanek, who eliminated No. 16-seeded Jarkko Nieminen 6-4, 3-6, 6-2.

Recipe by Paul Cairney
"I was looking to make some warm comfort food on a cold winter day. I was thinking chicken pot pie but wanted to try something different, though along the same lines - served in a individual baking dish with a creamy sauce, and topped with puff pastry. Sounds like chicken pot pie but I wanted salmon! I looked at some fish pie recipes but nothing I found came in that familiar comforting form. So I set out on my own and this is what I came up with! Hope you enjoy it."

Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreSatellite observations and computing technology have advanced our understanding of the monsoon climate enormously in the last two decades. The author provides an update of the knowledge gained over this period, presenting the modern morphology and the physical principles of monsoon climate variation on all time scales ranging from intraseasonal to tectonic time scales. He brings new ideas that can be expected to markedly improve the prediction of monsoon climate, and includes contributions by experts who expand our understanding of the monsoon environment by their study of paleoclimate records, who present evidence of human influences on monsoon climate, and who describe the links of the monsoon to the economy and to human health.

After all, beer-can collecting had been a teenage hobby of Chuck's when they started dating. So Laurie asked another question: Did Missi know when her biological birthday was?
It was April 14, 1981.
After Missi left the office, "I was in shock," Laurie said. "And I sat there for the longest time thinking, is this happening? Is this really true? Could this be a coincidence?"
On her way home, Laurie phoned Chuck and told him she thought that by some bizarre coincidence the daughter they had given up for adoption might be her new employee.
That night, between them, they cooked up a plan to try to prove it without letting Missi know until they were certain. The next day, Laurie told Missi that she wanted to monitor some of Missi's sales calls.
Missi wasn't sure how to react. "Cold-calling's bad enough, not to mention cold-calling when your boss is standing over your shoulder."
As they drove together in Laurie's car, Laurie told Missi she had to stop by Chuck's workplace to give him a checkbook he had forgotten. Chuck was waiting when the car pulled up, and he looked through the window at Missi.
Neither he nor Laurie said anything, but Chuck later recalled that he knew instantly that Missi was their biological daughter. "I didn't think there was any doubt, especially with the two of them sitting side by side," he said.
As soon as the women drove away, Chuck called Laurie's cell phone so they could speak privately. He said three words: "Oh, my God."
Laurie took Missi to a restaurant on Erie's bay front. They sat down to lunch, with Laurie sensing 25 years of lost history as she looked across the table, and Missi wondering something else altogether as she looked back at her boss.
"She crosses her arms and she starts looking at the floor," Missi said. "I'm reading her body language, [thinking] that there's something wrong. And she says to me, 'Well, there's actually another reason why I asked you to come out with me today.' And I said, 'Oh no, am I getting fired?'"
"I explained to her … if I was going to fire you, I certainly wouldn't take you out to lunch to tell you," Laurie said.
Instead, she asked Missi, "'If I thought I knew who your biological parents were, would you want to know who they were?'"
Missi shook her head in surprise, then smiled and said, "Yes."
"I think it might be me and my husband, Chuck," Laurie told her.
"I think I was sitting up straight in my chair at the time, and I just sat back, and I said, 'Wow,'" Missi said. "And I know for sure that I didn't look at her."
"Then I started to tell her the story," Laurie said. "And we started comparing other notes [on their similarities], like she gets migraine headaches, and we both have some crooked toes."
"I was still in shock," Missi said, "because I thought, this woman's my boss, yet she might be my mother? I mean, it's just strange."
The more they talked, the more the details seemed to fall into place.
"And then there was one thing that I knew that was very specific to my birth," Missi said. "And this is what really gave me goose bumps. I said, 'I was coming out breach, and so I had to be delivered by C-section.' And she looked at me and she said, 'I have the scar to prove it.'"
Both realized they could be completely certain of their relationship only by unlocking the papers associated with Missi's adoption.

Is it warm in here? R. Kelly showed off his new and improved vocal chords last night with a make-up appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Sounding straight Sinatra, he wooed the crowd with a soulful performance of his ode to bachelorhood "Feeling Single." Kells kept things simple in dark shades and all black everything else, save for his sweet voice, which is thankfully back in fine form after last month's scare. "Feeling Single" is exactly the sort of classic jam we crave in the late night, soft enough to lull you to sleep or steamy enough to inspire your late-late night. Feeling single can feel pretty good.
Write Me Back
R.Kelly Cancels Book Launch Due To Health Emergency
Its been a while since we've heard so much buzz surrounding R. Kelly's career. Due to a "health emergency" Kelly canceled his book launch event scheduled for Wednesday night in NYC. His autobiography Soulacoaster debuts around the same time as his 11th studio album Write Me Back. Along with canceling the book launch event the Jimmy Fallon appearance and NBC's Today Show performance were cancelled as well. According to TMZ, the Pied Piper's reps said, "Initial indications are that he is suffering from complications from surgery he had last year to treat an abscess on his vocal cords." No indication was given as to how long Kelly would be out of commission for his illness, but we're sure he, more than anyone, wants to get back to work. His new album has been received fairly well by music critics calling it one of his better efforts in a long time. Professionally his illness couldn't have come at a worse time, but there's never a time better than the present to take care of one's health. Read more…
R. Kelly's "Feelin' Single" Is A Proper Introduction To Summer
Just when R&B seemed to be dying an unfortunate death, leave it to R. Kelly to resuscitate the genre in a blink of an eye. Soulful and gentle, "Feelin' Single" incites the urge to dance coolly across the floor. Like "Step In the Name of Love," "Feelin' Single" has an infectious softness about it that makes one forget all their worries. His voice is flawless on every note executing perfect harmonies on the hook. Light, fun and disco infused, the self-proclaimed King of R&B does the classic sultry combination like no other.
The timing for the track is perfect as cuffing season (when people find a winter beau to stay warm) ends, and summer fast approaches. Warm weather breeds the yearning for the benefits of being single. Well, for some. Feeling played by his girl the Pied Piper has a solution to deal with her late night hours– "hit the club and take somebody home with me." This is the second single from his upcoming album Write Me Back, a follow-up to 2010's Love Letter. A master of evoking something, anything within the listener, this track channels a bit of what makes Stevie Wonder great. It makes you feel the music. "Feelin' Single" never felt so good.

UNISOR --- University Isotope Separator at Oak Ridge
The UNISOR isotope separator facility is composed of a target/ion source station on-line to the 25 MeV tandem accelerator, a 90-degree mass separation magnet having a mass resolution of m/dm = 2000, and three experimental endstations. The three endstations include: the collinear laser/fast beam spectroscopy facility, for the study of nuclear hyperfine structure; the low temperature nuclear orientation facility, furnished with an on-line He-3/He-4 dilution refrigerator, for determining nuclear magnetic moments and multipole transition properties; and a conventional spectroscopy endstation equipped with a moving tape system for elucidating low-spin nuclear state following slow decay processes (e.g., alpha, beta).
The UNISOR facility has been used to study decay properties of nuclei far from stability, and more recently to study the operational behavior of ion source/target combinations and target release properties for the RIB project. The operational characteristics of the target/ion source, specifically its chemical selectivity and thick (several mg/cm**2) target capabilities, may make viable certain RIB physics experiments using the available UNISOR experimental equipment.

Chewy Goes to Alaska? you decide!

Joined: Apr 2006

Oddometer: 6,654
Hmmm, tough call. And HEY, not ALL of us up here have BIG dogs!
My little dog brother, Comet, is a 20lb rough coat Jack Russell. I've had him 12yrs and he's done every outdoor activity I've done except hot air ballooning (animals hate the roar of the burners). He's the third in a line of small dogs in my family over the years up here.
The activities of course include a LOT of hiking in the back country. And yes of course we've encountered a lot of wild animals in our travels, including bears. Only one was a total surprise when it walked across the trail about 80' in front of us. Comet was at my side. The bear just stopped and we all looked at each other for awhile with me talking firmly yet calmly for all of us to keep our cool and for Comet to STAY.
Eventually the bear just ambled on and Comet just walked up to where it had been and sniffed around. I actually love close encounters like this because it reminds me of how we're still pretty close to nature up here. Fun.
Comet has also been kicked once or twice by moose as he was just trying to sniff them. Poor little guy, getting punted like a little football. Luckily he was not injured.
So I think you and Chewy needn't worry too much about becoming part of the food chain as long as you use common sense and behave yourselves. Keep Chewy close or on a leash as there will be A LOT of good smells he'll want to further investigate.
If you're only going to the Arctic Circle, it'll mostly be paved roads with some dirt. IF you're thinking of going all the way to Prudhoe or up to Inuvik then that could be a LOT rougher with a lot more chance of your bike being dropped. Especially if it rains.
When are you coming? Are you gonna join us in Dawson Yukon for Solstice? Ask here or pm me if you have more questions about anything.
I'm including a few photos of my adventure buddy Comet.
I took this shot this Spring up in the Chugach Mts behind Anchorage. It's my favorite way to "walk the dog." We hike up wherever there's a path to make it a little easier on both of us. We hike up and board down, hike up and board down... and Comet gets to run for all he's worth! Fun!
Here he is "at speed!"
Tough shoot trying to get a good shot boarding beside him hoping not to run him over as the trail twists and turns!
He's also my main hockey buddy these days. He goes nuts over a hockey puck as we play keep away on local rinks.
Those are the Chugach Mts right behind Anchorage in the background.
And just one more.
Here we are wondering what I'm about to get myself into by putting studded tires on my KLR for the winter a couple years ago. It worked.
Check out the article beginning on pg 112 in the June issue of 'RIDER' magazine on your news stands now.
Hope to see you up here, Mark and Comet
