Artist: porcupine
Concept: Lazarus Fruitscorpion
Life giving insect discovered in Borneo.
A small amphibious creature that seems to harness the secret to eternal life was recently discovered in the depth of the Borneo Rainforest.
Still waiting for a scientific name, the Lazarus Fruitscorpion produces a serum that miraculously restores life when injected into a newly deceased human.
The fruitscorpion lives solely from eating fruit from the Tarap tree, and use their flexible tails to stab the ripe fruits before they digest them. To date it is unknown why they do it, since it seems to have little effects on the fruits.
The active substances of the serum deteriorate in seconds outside the fruitscorpions body, so the only way to use its powers is by having it stab the patient. Scientists have still not managed to get an active sample of the serum to analyze the components, and they are raising a stern warning that the serum should under no circumstances be used on human subjects until it has undergone a very extensive testing period! Despite this, reports of resurrections are appearing from all over the world.
As a result, Borneo has been target to a full blown invasion, where explorers ranging from official government envoys and scientific expeditions to guerillas, poachers and gold diggers are pouring into the jungle from all directions.

mario fernandes - life giver - final
Artist: mariofernandes
Concept: Tchutchumiko life giver
The tchutchumiko is a rare and shy insectoid creature found in planet Rolos. It is rarely seen and therefore associated with many myths. His diet consists of poisoned nectar which makes it seemingly regenerate or bring plants to life. The detritus produced from his diet composes an excellent soil fertilizer making this creature key in the ecology of his planet.

Artist: Bobby rebholz
Concept: Erue
Humans are destroying current and undiscovered species at an alarming rate. Within the past couple of years, a strange and fascinating creature has emerged almost out of nowhere. These tiny creatures have the ability to reincarnate recently deceased animals as a means to preserve certain species on planet Earth. These tiny life givers are thought to live in a separate dimension and have thrown the religious and scientific community into a frenzy.

Artist: scorge
Concept: Tiny Sparkling Life Giver
They first appeared when the dying off of bees was brought to the world's attention. Thought to be from another planet perhaps, or maybe an evolutionary answer running parallel to the development of bees for the singular purpose of keeping the world balanced, these tiny creatures have the ability to harness the molecular matter to reanimate the bees for two days. While the bee's life is no longer natural, the new "life" given by the Life Giver allows them to contribute their much needed talents for a short while longer.

Alright folks, the new topic has been posted, and on account of me not posting the finals early I'm gonna give a few hours grace on this topic, pretty much whenever I wake up in the morning the topic will be closed and the poll will be posted!

Turns out i lucked out then Rob as i totally forgot about the hand in, here's my final!
The trauma beetle or Navalibus Bruchus :
This creature rubs together its wing covers in order to produce static charge which is then stored inside the natural capacitors on its back. It uses this to bring back to life small animals that recently died in order to feed off the memories of the hereafter that linger in their brains
Good luck to you all!

Poll is up after a bit of a delay. Was a slow start to this topic but a decent turnout in the end. Bobby and scorge blew this out of the park once again, great rendering and designs. My vote went to Bobby Rebholz after pretty much flipping a coin (not really but it was close).

cartoonliquid: the creature's design is a little bit unclear, not too mention I get you wanted to showcase the creature a certain way, but keep in mind sometimes less is more. You could've easily given us the same concept without multiple panels of information with just a concept image and perhaps a paragraph or two in the description giving us the information you provided with lots of text in the image. In an art contest sometimes a lot of reading isn't so much a good idea, though it does ellaborate on the creature's design. In the end I decided to let you into the poll anyways since you obviously put a lot of thought into this and the creature's design though slightly unclear was still somewhat visible.
JeanFumero: It's a little hard to tell if it is actually sparkly, but since this was done in a traditional watercolour, penalizing you for being able to paint something that is pretty much impossible to paint in watercolour is a bit unreasonable. It would've also been nice if you gave us something for scale as initially it looks small but not that small. Also watch the cropping as I can still see the edges of the sketchbook, but once again excluding you is a little unreasonable since it is barely visible in the image.
Summary: It seems a few people had some issues with the 'sparkling' part of the brief. Keep in mind if there is something that gives you a bit of grief when painting it is best to slow down and look at some reference. Try to do a study or two to give yourself a process for painting it, or try to look up a tutorial to see how other artists would paint it. Overall I was a being quite lenient for this round.
Art is not about competing against others and being better than everyone else, but it is about competing against yourself and discovering your greatest potential!

I had a really hard time deciding who to vote for.
Bobby Rebholz and Scorges creatures were both beautifully rendered with original designs but they suffer from the same problem i think, since the animals being resurected looks like animals who themselves already are as big as a fingernail or bigger, the creatures just look too large to fit the brief.
In the end I went for Grotski, since the idea of a creature with that large body and thin legs must put it to be very small for the legs to support the body, and I enjoyed the brief about feeding off memories.

I like Scorge Illustration a lot, but porcupine creature the most, I like the design of the limbs and how the sice is explained.

This FR may be disabled by creating a file named "allowCompetitiveAcces" in the .metadata of the workspace in the folder /workspacePath/.metadata/.plugins/org.topcased.modeler
It's not really a bug because you can do the same thing as in the topcased diagram editor. But it must be done in each editor because there isn't a "topcased intermediate layer" for the EMF editor.
If there had been no intermediate layer for the diagrams, the code would also be done in each "GEF editor".
Regarding the limitation, I suggest at least to open a bug report on EMF bugzilla to track this problem.
Laurent : can you do it please ?
Resolution :
Now, opening a file *. xxxdi is not possible if at least one of resources handled by this file is already opened in another editor (*. xxxdi or *. xxx).
The editor will open but with an error message indicating the problem.
Sample message: "Could not open the editor: This editor handles files that are already open. To open this file, please close editors handling these files:
* The file /projectName/folderName/fileName.uml is already open in the editor fileName.uml "
This control concerns graphic editors (*. xxxdi) and not EMF editors (*. xxx). If you open a file fileName.xxx after opening the file fileName.xxxdi, modification in parallel will always be possible. This is because each EMF editor is autonomous. There is no common superclass as is the case of graphic editors with the class org.topcased.modeler.editor.Modeler.
Linked to Feature Request #325
My suggestion is to set the attached submodel to "read-only" so that it cannot be modified through the father model. If you want to update the submodel just open it directly.
I know that such an approach is restrictive but it is a valuable recommandation to keep control about concurrent modifications in a collaborative modeling : it is a way to ensure that you do modifications only on submodels that ou are responsible of. It avoids background modifications nobody is aware and that breack the model.
Concurrent edition is big problem and if we want to avoid mistakes, the last alternative will be the easiest to implement. A better solution can be implemented through development of "Collaborative Work" item of the project.

You had to figure Brandon Magee's draft stock would slip after he blew out his Achilles' tendon. All things considered, a two-round drop for a guy who hasn't been on the field in more than a year and has a career .103 batting average at Arizona State doesn't seem bad. Magee was one of the more interesting names to pop up on the third day of the Major League Baseball first-year player draft. He was taken in the 23rd round by the Boston Red Sox, the same team that drafted ASU shortstop Deven Marerro in the first round and ASU recruit Willie Ethington (a pitcher from Mountain View High School in Mesa) in the 17th. It's the third time Magee's name has been called during the baseball draft. The first time was out of high school in Corona, Calif., by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 29th round, and then again in 2011 by the Oakland A's in the 21st. A pro baseball career seems very much a possibility for Magee, who told the Arizona Republic's Doug Haller that baseball is his "first love," but...

Jordan Rodgers swears he's not a run-first quarterback and his reputation upon arriving in Nashville was as a pocket passer in the mold of older brother Aaron, the quarterback of the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers. But Jordan Rodgers' stats the last two games tell a different story. While he's completed just 14-of-46 passes for 233 yards and three interceptions, he's rushed for 176 yards on 29 attempts, helping the offensive line avoid sacks with his quickness. As the Commodores prepare for a Southeastern Conference home game Saturday with Arkansas, Rodgers is hoping to make more plays with his arm and fewer with his feet.

(02-20) 16:05 PST San Rafael -- Deer nibbling on grass are an almost daily sight for drivers venturing to or from this home near China Camp State Park. The property at 408 Biscayne Drive in San Rafael is a tri-level home in Peacock Estates with direct access to the state park. It includes a private vineyard, winemaking room and indoor pool on its list of amenities.
"Basically, we tell people they are buying a lifestyle," said Peter Narodny of Frank Howard Allen Realtors, who, along with his wife, Karin Narodny, are listing the home for $2.745 million. "It's close to hiking, has room for entertaining and blends the indoors and out."
The expansive patio area, sliding windows in the pool house and outdoor barbecue area showcase the property's marriage of indoor and outdoor spaces.
A total of about 500 Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines grow on the slope behind the home, which has a gate directly to China Camp State Park and provides views of San Francisco on clear days. The grapes can be skinned, pressed and fermented in the room near the home's gym dedicated to winemaking.
"A guest asked (the owner) where a particular bottle of wine came from, and he motioned up the hill where the vines are," said Peter Narodny.
The winemaking room is partially dug into the hillside to control the interior climate, and has a centered drain for easy maintenance.
The pool house, which features a solar-heated saltwater pool and spa, also has a full bathroom and sauna. The temperature-controlled room and water make it an inviting place to swim even in the middle of winter or on summer evenings with chilly winds.
"You can spend more time in here than in the living room," said Karin Narodny.
The main house is also inviting and provides fireplaces in the living room, family room and master bedroom.
The second story of the home is essentially a split-level, with the master suite separated by angles and a series of steps from the other bedrooms and bathrooms. A private deck at the front of the house sits outside the master suite, which also has a reading nook and tile fireplace. A jetted bath tub with a quartz surround provides additional opportunities for relaxation in the master bathroom.
Additional bedrooms, including a second master with a walk-in closet and private bathroom, are also on the middle level.
The top level is dedicated to a media and game room, complete with blackout blinds that ensure glares won't obscure the viewing. The room has a 15-foot ceiling and can easily be used for exercise because it has separate heat controls and large fans to keep cool during intense workouts, said Karin Narodny.
Cherry hardwood floors dominate the downstairs, and the living room has a storage nook that could easily accommodate a grand piano. An office with woodwork throughout and built-in shelves and storage cabinets sits next to the grand stair rails in the entryway.
The formal dining room provides views of the backyard landscape and fountain, while the breakfast nook in the kitchen provides views of the pool house and vines.
Dual convection ovens, a marble wet bar, butler's pantry and quartz countertops are among the features of the chef's kitchen, which was recently remodeled.
The family room is adjacent to the kitchen and has double doors leading to the backyard, along with a fireplace and a 12-foot ceiling.
The home was built in 2003. The current owner bought it in 2009, and the home is too large now that the children are grown.
"They (children) aren't happy he's selling," said Peter Narodny. "They love this place."

The home includes an indoor saltwater pool, winemaking room, chardonnay and pinot noir vineyard, multiple fireplaces and workout room.

I was a clueless, self-absorbed teenage boy. (Is there any other kind?) While working at Taco John's one evening, a guy came in and ordered two tacos, no tomatoes. As I was preparing his delicious meal, I started yapping with my co-worker and friend, Juanita. When I wrapped up his tacos and handed them to him, he looked at me disdainfully and said, "I said, 'No tomatoes.'"
I felt my cheeks flush with a hot rush of embarrassment. I apologized profusely, took his tacos out of the bag, unwrapped them, put them back on the rack as I continued my conversation with Juanita, took off the tomatoes, put the tomatoes back on, wrapped up the tacos and gave them back to him.
"I said, 'No tomatoes,"" he said coldly, not even trying to conceal his disgust. I froze, aghast at what I had just done. I reached for the sack again but he pulled it away, said, "I'll take them off myself," and stormed out the door. I wished I had had a shovel to dig a hole in the ground for me to crawl into.
I still can't believe I was such an idiot. Sadly, I see this same inexcusable service play out at pretty much every retail place I visit. What's ironic is that the people who get annoyed when salespeople don't give them their full attention are probably the same people who give poor service to others when they step behind the counter themselves. It takes a high level of awareness and a commitment to excellence to avoid that fate.
So to all you salespeople, clerks and servers out there: Smile, give your customers your full attention, and act like you're waiting on yourself. Either that, or watch out for flying tomatoes!

Desierto 3 Fairing for F800GS, whose got one?

Sounds like I'll get the Desierto hopefully tomorrow (or today, if I can get them on the phone and stop them from shipping it so I can just drive down there and pick it up!). "Santa Claus" might insist on wrapping it and stuffing it under the tree, though, so that would delay any feedback from me ... so it's all you, DP. :)
Anybody have any pics of what the GPS/IMO computer mount looks like on the other Desierto versions? It did look like the instrument cluster on the 800 crowded into the space that I would imagine a bracket would typically mount, and it will be a bit fussy to fit, but still totally doable in my opinion. Time will tell ...
Edit: just picked it up from TT downtown, need to do some negotiating with Santa to see if I can pop it open early and get some photos ...
2009 BMW F800GS - the "attack helicopter"
2008 Husqvarna TE510 - loud and proud
2006 BMW R1200S - dedicated track bike now, mostly because of sloppy welds
2010 BMW S1000RR - soooooon, very soooon ...

Replay Trying To Bring Back Space Quest, King's Quest
Could Roberta and Ken Williams be about to come out of retirement? Speaking to Al Lowe and Paul Trowe for an interview due later today, RPS learned that the company remaking the Leisure Suit Larry games is also in talks with other Sierra adventure alumni about bringing back their classic series. Replay Games' Trowe revealed that they're currently in negotiations with both Sierra On-line co-founders Ken and Roberta Williams, as well as Space Quest creators, Scott Murphy and Mark Crowe, with an interest to see King's Quest and Space Quest brought back. With the added obstacle of Activision to manoeuvre around too.

DC by Foot is proud to present our newest name your own price tour options – Washington DC bus tours. We are combining our highly rated walking tours and combining them with a bus. Our tour guides will narrate on the bus as well as off as they walk you through each memorial and neighborhood. One driver, one bus and one tour guide means you keep all three for the entire tour. Our Washington DC bus tours will save you time. There's no waiting for the next bus. You will see the sites on our itineraries in a 1/3 of the time it would take on a traditional hop-on, hop-off bus tour.
Like our walking tours, our Washington DC Bus Tours operate on the pay-what-you-like model, meaning can decide what your tour guide was worth, or what you could afford, once the tour has finished. Unfortunately, our bus partners work on a more traditional pay-up-front model. Therefore, there is a charter fee for the bus, a fee we have spread out over the number of seats on the bus. Our 3.5 hour spring bus tour has a $19 fee.
*These two stops are subject to park closures by Secret Service or road closures due to Cherry Blossom festival, in which case we will only see it from the bus.
From the bus on our spring bus tour, we will discuss:
Our full day bus tour is not running at the moment, but you can book a VIP Best of DC bus tour to visit the memorials, Capitol Building and the Archives. Book your VIP Best of DC full day tour here!
***BUS TOURS ARE NOT ACCESSIBLE. We cannot accommodate wheelchairs or large strollers. If you have a small stroller that can be stored at your feet, that is fine. All persons, regardless of age, by law must have a ticket purchased and seat available. No sitting in laps, however we do not provide car seats.***
Reservations: REQUIRED. Click here to reserve. If you are booking less than 24 hours, please also email us! Unlike our walking tours, we cannot add extra spots so we must ensure that all guests can be accommodated.
Where: All tours meet at the northeast corner of 12th St. and G St. NW, just outside the Metro Center (Blue/Orange) station exit. Please note this exit is closed for construction, but you can exit the station at any of the three alternate exits that are only one block away! Your guide will have on a Free Tours By Foot Orange Tshirt or a sign! Tours end at same location.
NOTE: Guests interested in traveling with the car-sharing service Uber are invited to use exclusive promo code "DCbyFoot" for a free $20 credit added to their new user account!
Duration: Approx. 3.5 hours for the Spring Bus tour tour.
When: View our Calendar
Cost: This tour is free to take, and you get to decide what, if anything, the tour was worth when it's done. A name-your-own-price tour is a tour for anyone's budget. There is a $19 seat fee for the night tour, which is the cost per seat to charter the mini-bus. The tour itself runs on the pay-what-you-like model. ***This ticket is only valid for the date and time purchased. As a result of such a low price ticket, we cannot give refunds or exchanges with less than 24 hours notice. All guests must have a seat by law, regardless of age.***

You guys here at gamespot don't know this, but sometimes I like to do Let's Plays of games (just like the rest of the internet, right?) with my cousin Ryan (blazehedgehog). So far we have LP'd 2 games to completition (Dead Rising Case Zero, Max Payne) and did a partial LP of Dead Space. Unfortunately, dead space ended a mere 5 episodes in, and after a year long hiatus we are coming back with this:
Ryan and I got back under the covers and are doing one of these things again! Since it's been such a long time, we decided we'd ditch Dead Space and come back into this fresh and proper with a new game; Enter: The Matrix Path of Neo.
So yeah, we're super excited to be back doing this stuff, and are working to build an audience to support all of our creative endeavors (not just let's play videos). In addition to Path of Neo, we will also be posting the last of the Max Payne episodes at some point (whenever ryan is done making gams), and are exploring/brainstorming all kinds of other ideas for content to put up on the Let's Videogame channel.
Subscribe to the channel to see new episodes in the traditional M/W/F release schedule.
Updates will also be posted on our twitter account @Letsvideogame
Episode One: Videogames on the Internet
If you like what we're doing, please consider sharing/retweeting our stuff to your friends, we greatly appreciate it!

Residential energy
The UK Government's energy policy has set some ambitious targets for homes, with 13,000 properties a week requiring refurbishment to meet the goal of an 80% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050.
As part of achieving this, the Government is targeting improvements in the energy performance of the UK's 26 million homes through the Green Deal and ECO schemes.
Whether you own a Victorian terrace, a Grade II listed farmhouse, a village cottage or a UK-wide housing portfolio, increasing energy costs will affect you.
Our team can work with you to identify where measures can be taken to improve efficiency, many of which may qualify for funding under the Green Deal and ECO. We can advise on the renewable alternatives that allow you to minimise the impact of escalating oil, gas and electricity costs. We identify opportunities for micro-generation such as solar PV, solar thermal, heat pumps or biomass, some of which can be managed with the tap of a screen by a remote controlled Building Management System integrated with security systems and home appliances.
For new build residential developments, district heating and centralised low carbon energy centres are now a reality. We have expertise to advise on all energy opportunities and regulations for residential property.

U.S. to fly African troops to Central African Republic to ease violence
WASHINGTON/DOHA, Dec 9 (Reuters) – The U.S. military said on
Monday that it will fly African forces into Central Africa
Republic, responding to a request by France to bolster
international efforts to halt the spread of violence between
Christians and Muslims.
Two U.S. military C-17 aircraft will fly about 850 troops
from Burundi into Central African Republic within the next 24
hours, Lieutenant Colonel Robert Firman, a Pentagon spokesman,
said. It was unclear what U.S. support might follow, but Firman
said consultations were ongoing.
U.S. repatriates Algerian Guantanamo detainees who fear going home
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States has repatriated two Algerians held at the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for more than a decade, the Pentagon said on Thursday, in what the men's attorneys described as an involuntary transfer that ignored their pleas to go elsewhere.
Djamel Ameziane and Bensayah Belkecem did not want to go back to Algeria because they fear being persecuted there, their attorneys said.
Delaying security deal a risk to Afghan forces: U.S. military chief
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. military could wait months for a political decision on whether troops stay or leave Afghanistan, but delaying a security pact would damage the confidence of Afghan forces and undermine NATO's plans, the top U.S. military officer said on Wednesday.
The comments by General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the U.S. military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, came amid an impasse over the security pact, which would allow American troops to stay in Afghanistan beyond the end of 2014.
Pentagon says halts ground shipments out of Afghanistan via Pakistan
WASHINGTON, Dec 3 (Reuters) – The U.S. military has halted
ground shipments of cargo leaving Afghanistan via its key
Pakistan supply route to ensure the safety of drivers following
protests in Pakistan over American drone strikes, a Pentagon
spokesman said on Tuesday.
The affected route, which runs from Torkham Gate at the
Afghanistan-Pakistan border to the Pakistani port city of
Karachi, has been crucial for the United States as it winds down
its combat mission in landlocked Afghanistan and moves equipment
out of the country.
U.S. sends new submarine-hunting jets to Japan amid East Asia tension
TOKYO/WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Navy's first two advanced P-8A Poseidon patrol aircraft have arrived in Japan, U.S. military officials said on Monday, helping to upgrade America's ability to hunt submarines and other vessels in seas close to China as tension in the region mounts.
The initial deployment – another four of the aircraft are due to arrive in the coming days – was planned before China last month established an air defense identification zone covering islands controlled by Japan and claimed by Beijing.
Defying China, U.S. bombers fly into East China Sea zone
WASHINGTON, Nov 26 (Reuters) – Two unarmed U.S. B-52 bombers
on a training mission flew over disputed islands in the East
China Sea without informing Beijing, Pentagon officials said on
Tuesday, defying China's declaration of a new airspace defense
zone in the region.
The Pentagon said the flight on Monday night did not prompt
a response from China, and the White House urged Beijing to
resolve its dispute with Japan over the islands diplomatically,
without resorting to "threats or inflammatory language."
Defying China, U.S. aircraft fly over East China Sea without notification
WASHINGTON, Nov 26 (Reuters) – Two U.S. military aircraft
have flown around disputed islands in the East China Sea without
informing China, the Pentagon said on Tuesday, defying China's
declaration that the region falls into a new airspace defense
"We have conducted operations in the area of the Senkakus.
We have continued to follow our normal procedures, which include
not filing flight plans, not radioing ahead and not registering
our frequencies," spokesman Colonel Steve Warren said, using the
Japanese name for the islands.
U.S., Japan slam China's "destabilizing" move on East China Sea airspace
TOKYO/WASHINGTON, Nov 24 (Reuters) – Japan and ally the
United States sharply criticized China's move to impose new
rules on airspace over islands at the heart of a territorial
dispute with Tokyo, warning of an escalation into the
"unexpected" if Beijing enforces the rules.
China's government-run Xinhua news agency published
coordinates for a newly established "East China Sea Air Defense
Identification Zone," which covers most of that sea and includes
the skies over the disputed islands.
U.S. says China's move on East China Sea airspace 'destabilizing'
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States on Saturday sharply criticized China's move to impose new rules on airspace over islands at the heart of a territorial dispute with Japan, calling it a "destabilizing attempt to alter the status quo in the region."
China's government-run Xinhua news agency published coordinates for a newly established "East China Sea Air Defence Identification Zone," which covers most of that sea and includes the skies over the disputed islands.
As Arctic ice melts, U.S. military adapting strategy, forces
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (Reuters) – U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced on Friday the Pentagon's first Arctic strategy to guide changes in military planning as rapidly thawing ice reshapes global commerce and energy exploration, possibly raising tensions along the way.
Ice on the Arctic Ocean shrank last year to its lowest levels since satellite observations began in the 1970s, and many experts expect it will vanish in summers by mid-century due to climate change.

Bill Nelson: Florida will get $342 million more for high-speed rail
Seán Kinane
WMNF Drive-Time News Thursday | Listen to this entire show:
Florida may be getting more money for its proposed high-speed train. And itâs thanks to some states rejecting the federal funds. Federal Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has told Floridaâs Democratic U.S. Senator Bill Nelson that Florida will get some of the money rejected by Wisconsin and Ohio. Recently elected Republican governors in those states have said they did not want high-speed rail projects.
"Florida is getting an early Christmas present. We just got $342 million more for our high-speed rail project from Orlando to Tampa. That brings the commitment from the federal government for a $2.75 billion project to 90 per cent coming from the federal government and only 10 per cent to come from the State of Florida. It's money that is there in the bank ready to be used. This is going to create 25,000 jobs over the next four years and this new money that we are getting is coming from Ohio and Wisconsin who's newly elected governors have rejected the high-speed rail in their states. So, indeed, we are the beneficiary for this early Christmas present."
Nelson said Florida will get $342 million more in federal funding for the high-speed rail line that will be built between Orlando and Tampa.

research guide
editors & contributors
write the editor
The works of García Lorca, internationally recognized as Spain's most prominent lyric poet and dramatist of the twentieth century, are filled with thinly veiled homosexual motifs and themes.
There has always been homosexual involvement in American musical theatre and a homosexual sensibility even in straight musicals, and recently the Broadway musical has welcomed openly homosexual themes and situations.
Best known for his genius in art and architecture, Michelangelo was also an accomplished author of homoerotic poetry.
The African-American gay male literary tradition consists of a substantial body of texts and includes some of the most gifted writers of the twentieth century.
Combining elements of incongruity, theatricality, and exaggeration, camp is a form of humor that helps homosexuals cope with a hostile environment.
Langston Hughes, whose literary legacy is enormous and varied, was closeted, but homosexuality was an important influence on his literary imagination, and many of his poems may be read as gay texts.
James Baldwin, a pioneering figure in twentieth-century literature, wrote sustained and articulate challenges to American racism and mandatory heterosexuality.
Oscar Wilde is important both as an accomplished writer and as a symbolic figure who exemplified a way of being homosexual at a pivotal moment in the emergence of gay consciousness.
Mary Bonauto of GLAD explains the issues involved in the Connecticut ruling.
On July 31, 2012, yet another federal court held that Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is unconstitutional. U.S. District Court Judge Vanessa L. Bryant of Connecticut reached the same conclusion as federal district judges in California, Massachusetts, and New York. In addition, a federal appeals court has also recently declared the law unconstitutional. Also on July 31, filings to the Supreme Court of the United States were made in connection with both the Proposition 8 case and two DOMA cases.
Judge Bryant, who was appointed to the bench by President George W. Bush in 2007, ruled in Pedersen v. Office of Personnel Management, a case brought by Gay and Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD) on behalf of six married gay and lesbian couples and one widower from Vermont, New Hampshire, and Connecticut who were denied federal benefits by virtue of DOMA. She held that the law violates the equal protection principles of the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
In a 104-page decision distinguished by the depth of its grounding in history and scholarship, Judge Bryant found that laws that classify people based on sexual orientation should be subject to "heightened scrutiny" by courts. In doing so, she cited the long history of discrimination suffered by homosexuals. In finding that the political power of gay people is limited, she noted the fact that legislators and voters have repeatedly adopted discriminatory laws and amendments that stigmatize and burden homosexual citizens.
Although she ruled that homosexuals were a suspect class and that classifications based on sexual orientation deserve heightened scrutiny, she found that DOMA "fails to pass constitutional muster even under the most deferential level of judicial scrutiny."
Judge Bryant rejected every argument put forward by the House Republican Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group (BLAG), which defended the law after the Department of Justice declined to do so after determining that it was unconstitutional in February 2011.
Her decision concludes as follows: "In sum, having considered the purported rational bases proffered by both BLAG and Congress and concluded that such objectives bear no rational relationship to Section 3 of DOMA as a legislative scheme, the Court finds that no conceivable rational basis exists for the provision. The provision therefore violates the equal protection principles incorporated in the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution."
In a press release, GLAD's Civil Rights Project Director Mary L. Bonauto hailed the decision. "Judge Bryant's ruling is very clear: married people are married and should be treated as such by the federal government. There is no legitimate basis for DOMA's broad disrespect of the marriages of same-sex couples," she said. "We are very pleased that the Court recognized that DOMA's creation of second-class marriages harms our clients who simply seek the same opportunities to care and provide for each other and for their children that other families enjoy."
In other news on the marriage equality front, the proponents of California's Proposition 8 filed a writ asking the Supreme Court of the United States to review the ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in Perry v. Brown that declared Proposition 8 unconstitutional. In a long-anticipated filing, the Proponents asked the Court to decide "Whether the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment prohibits the State of California from defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman."
The American Foundation for Equal Rights dream team of Theodore Olson and David Boies has 30 days in which to respond to the filing. They will presumably ask the Court not to hear the case. The Court will decide in September whether to accept it. If they decline to review, same-sex marriages will resume in California. If they accept the case, it will be argued in late 2012 or early 2013 and a decision issued by June 2013.
Chris Geidner of BuzzFeed reports another development in the legal battle for marriage equality. The Supreme Court has granted a request from BLAG to delay until August 31 their response to the Department of Justice's request that the Court hear two DOMA cases.
In the video below, Mary Bonauto explains the issues involved in Pedersen v. Office of Personnel Management and introduces the plaintiffs.
The decision in Pedersen v. Office of Personnel Management may be read below.

1799 Large Stars Ten Dollar, BD-101799 $10 Large Stars Obverse MS63 NGC. BD-10, R.3. The early Philadelphia Mint was concerned about the numbers of coins struck and the serviceability of the dies required for their production, and not at all about the particular date those dies bore (or in some extreme cases, even the design). While the first few eagle emissions, from the 1795 Small Eagle through the 1798 Large Eagle, are each known from at least one to at most five die marriages per year, the 1799 eagle, all struck with the Large Eagle or Heraldic Eagle reverse, were produced in 10 different die pairings known to collectors today.
Antique-Gold MS63 Type Coin
Antique-Gold MS63 Type Coin
This does not come as a complete surprise, as there were 37,449 eagles reportedly minted for the year, an amount that was by far the largest to that point. In fact, according to Guide Book figures the total is about 40% more than the total mintages reported for 1795 through 1798 combined.
The 10 different known die varieties of 1799 eagles are mostly minor variations, some fairly common as early gold coins go, some extremely rare. The Guide Book lists only the Small Obverse Stars and Large Obverse Stars variants.
The present BD-10 is one of the Large Obverse Stars marriages, with Bass-Dannreuther estimating 300 to 400 surviving today, making it an available and popular 18th century variety for type purposes. Note how close many of the obverse star pairs are, especially 1-2, 5-6, 6-7, 9-10, and 10-11. Star 9 nearly touches the Y in LIBERTY, and a leaf touches the lower-right serif of the I in AMERICA.
Even under a loupe, this marvelous Select coin shows no evidence of die cracks or clashing, and adjustment marks are absent. A few scattered, trivial contact marks are as expected of the grade. The antique-gold surfaces are highly lustrous and original, with blatant eye appeal and overall excellent preservation. This piece should certainly gain the attention of type aficionados and early gold specialists. Census: 64 in 63, 53 finer (6/12).(Registry values: P1) (NGC ID# 2623, PCGS# 8562)

Benicio del Toro
Benicio Monserrate Rafael del Toro Sánchez (born February 19, 1967), better known as Benicio del Toro, is a Puerto Rican actor and film producer. His awards include the Academy Award, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award and British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Award.
Giving fans a midweek thrill, Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix showed up at the TCL Chinese Theatre for the Los Angeles premiere of "Inherent Vice" last night (December 10).
The "Walk The Line" costars seemed happy to be reunited on the red carpet as they mingled with fellow stars like Jena Malone, Maya Rudolph, Andy Samberg and Benicio Del Toro.
He's always in search of amazing stories, and writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson hit the jackpot with his adaptation of the Thomas Pynchon novel "Inherent Vice." This week, Warner Bros Pictures released a preview trailer for the much-anticipated film, filled with all kinds of strange characters and killer music.
The forthcoming flick stars Benicio Del Toro, Josh Brolin, Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon, Jena Malone, Owen Wilson and Martin Short and it's slated to hit theaters on January 9th, 2015.
Taking a stand against violence against women, some of Hollywood's heavy hitters have teamed up for a new Public Service Announcement.
Both President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden have put together a White House PSA to help put an end to sexual assault as part of the 1 is 2 Many campaign.
Taking a stand against a terrible act, Hollywood stars have joined the White House and President Obama in a new public service announcement on sexual assault.
The video, released on Tuesday (April 29) is part of the 1 is 2 Many campaign, which encourages men to step in if they see someone in danger of being sexually assaulted.
Showing some love to their Spanish fans, the cast of "A Perfect Day" attended a press photocall in Madrid on Friday morning (March 14).
"The Usual Suspects" stud Benicio Del Toro was joined by Olga Kurylenko, Tim Robbins and Melanie Thierry as he posed for pictures and chatted with the press ahead of the big premiere.
There has always been a strong link between Hollywood celebrities and the political realm, and in light of the upcoming election, Vote 4 Stuff is teaming with some of Tinseltown's biggest names.
The newly-released Public Service Announcement, led Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire, features Selena Gomez, Jonah Hill, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Zac Efron, Amanda Seyfried, Ellen DeGeneres, and Benicio Del Toro.
Kicking off the day with a media appearance, Salma Hayek and Benicio Del Toro paid a visit to BBC Radio 1 Studios in London, England this morning (September 20).
The "Desperado" dame and the "Traffic" hunk looked to be in good spirits as they promoted their new drug cartel flick "Savages."
Taking their action-packed flick overseas, the stars of "Savages" attended a photocall in London, England earlier today (September 19).
John Travolta, Benicio Del Toro and Salma Hayek were joined by director Oliver Stone at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel ahead of the film's big premiere.
Any time Oliver Stone does a new movie it's a pretty big deal, and last night the stars of "Savages" showed up for the film's Los Angeles premiere.
"Gossip Girl" Blake Lively dropped by the Mann Village Theater in Westwood, looking lovely in an art deco-inspired beige and black strapless gown as she posed for the paparazzi.
Gushing like only a grandfather can do, Rod Stewart has revealed the name of daughter Kimberly and Benicio Del Toro's baby girl to be Delilah.
While talking with USA Today, the "Have I Told You Lately" crooner sang out the newborn's name, adding, "I'm a grandfather now. I've been going around blabbing that for hours now."

Gypsy 83 - Reviews
Starring Sara Rue, best know for her television work including on the series Popular and Kett Turton from the tragically short-lived series Dead Last. They star as two Goths who leave their small town and travel 500 miles to a Stevie Nicks impersonator contest. I know, it sounds like a very strange premise, but it's not that unusual if you think of the film as a road movie / coming of age movie.
Young Adam - Reviews
One of the more talked about releases in a while, mainly for its rating. A film rated NC-17 being released by a major studio used to be something very rare; it was six years between The Dreamers and the last NC-17 released by an MPAA studio before that. However, just two months later and another such film is being released. This one has slightly better reviews, more star power including Ewan McGregor but surprisingly, not as much controversy. In the end the lesser amount of controversy might hurt its box office chances.

Make It Mine was released in 2008 by Jason Mraz. It was written by Jason Mraz.
TextWake up everyone
How can you sleep at a time like this?
Unless the dreamer is the real you
Listen to your voice
The one that tells you
To taste past the tip of your tongue
Leap and the net will appear
I don't wanna wake before
The dream is over
I'm gonna make it mine
Yes I I know it
I'm gonna make it mine
Yes I'll make it all mine
I keep my life on a heavy rotation
Requesting that it's lifting you
Up up up and away
And over to a table
At the gratitude cafe
And I am finally there
And all the angels they'll be singing
Ah la la la ah la la la
I la la la la love you
Well I don't wanna break before
The tour is over
I'm gonna make it mine
Yes I I'll own it
I'm gonna make it mine
Yes I'll make it all mine
And Timing's everything
This time there's plenty
I am balancing
Careful and steady
And reveling in energy
That everyone's emitting
Well I don't wanna wait no more
Oh I wanna celebrate the whole world
I'm gonna make it mine
Oh yes I'm following your joy
I'm gonna make it mine
Because I I am open
I'm gonna make it mine
That's why I will show it
I'm gonna make it all mine
Gonna make gonna make
Gonna make gonna make it
Make it make it mine all mine
Yes I'll make it all mine

Todays topic - the muffler. (silencer, endpipe, endtopf...).
But first things first - To answer Your question "GrenDesb" - the frame is being changed, because mine was having some - hmmm - legal issues.
(basically was an insurance writeoff and i used my friends numberplate for the summer - now also I have no idea of the state of the old frame, as to how straight it might be or not.) Well, the new frame is in great shape and I believe if I can, then in april it will be rolling officcially under my name.
Second question - the tank is finished - I used the ktm tank connector for the lower part and it was very nice. Not using it - well - because the aluminium tank is too weak and got cracks in it the first time I tested it. Sadly - need some other solution and at the moment a 5l external tank (jerrycan) will probably have to be enough. I´m running on a very tight budget this winter, so we can plan our trip to Russia and Georgia and be ready for any trouble with the bikes and stuff. Hope this explaines whats up.
Now todays topic - the bike´s silencer was leaking. Making funny noises and needed proper cleaning and repacking.
It is a light SS pipe from Djelcevic UK and I really like their products for the cost that they are. This is here, what I started with:
Just a matter of drilling out the rivets with a 4mm drillbit and pulling the end off of the pipe. The packing was considerably "blown" on the ending side of the pipe. Just pull the insert out and check for any other problems.
After getting it all apart, it needed some proper cleaning from the tar stains and some gunk that probably comes from chain or dirt or whatever flies around under there.
Then after cleaning and inspecting stuff I decided to use the "stockings" from work, that I have - they are used to insulate heat of the adheater exhaust and made of long fibre.
Just pulled the "stocking" over the pipe snugly and pulled the ends back and tightened them up with metallic fasteners.
Then it was just a matter of taking the insulating wool or material to be used again and I have always used the method, that i repack the muffler so, that none of the material goes to the same spot it was before. Getting it all back into the shell was a mot.... PITA but with pressing the insulation material from both sides equally and yanking it down finally made it. Nice and snug.
The only mufflers where the material has been sewn together or through, have been Remus and Sebring. Never seen them fail early either. Just sayin.
New rivets, little bit of engine sealant (also called engine silicone - capable withstanding more than 350 celsius) to insulate the endcap and voila.
Thats it for today.

My husband had prostate cancer a few years ago and was treated solely with 5 cyberknife sessions on 5 consecutive days. After each treatment, he went to work for the day. He was about 75 at the time. Today, at 79, his PSA levels are negligible! He still works full-time, plays the clarinet in bands and is active in his church. He received the treatment at Overlook Hospital in Summit. We hope for the same outcome for Dennis Hopper and everyone else with this diagnosis.

There are a number of alternative, natural treatments for cancer. I'm no chemist, but from what I've studied, CESIUM is one that could potentially help. Cesium is an element on the periodic table. Not many people know about it, but apparently in one trial, 30 out of 30 cancer patients took this natural treatment called Cesium and all 30 lived on without cancer.

Cancer should be a thing of the past already. I can't wait until the day when all you will need is a vaccination and Cancer will be a thing of the past. However, I believe the Health Service Industry makes too much money from "treating" Cancer than eliminating it.

That "C" word is harsh on anyone. I have read all the comments on people who have survived it and am so glad for all of you. Dennis Hopper is great and has loving family and friends and I'm sure the best of care. I should hope he gets well soon. As to those allowed on this site to advertise, it truly is a virus of another sort. Again, to all of you that have survived and share your stories, you are doing us all a service and please keep spreading the news that this is not always a death sentence. Be well.

Ray Cantrell's feelings for Loudon County run deep.
"I love Loudon County," Cantrell, a member of the Roane County Commission, said. "I'm so close to it; they have things over there that Roane County doesn't, so I do a lot of shopping over there."
While he doesn't mind spending his money there, Cantrell said he doesn't want to see the eastern section of Roane County siphoned off to join a House district with Loudon County.
He's ready to take action.
Skateboarding enthusiasts aren't going to let the Harriman City Council forget about them.
After having their boards confiscated for skating at Harriman Riverfront Park's gazebo, some of them attended Harriman City Council meetings last month and this month.
They have asked for a designated area to enjoy their sport.
Chris Buttram had no experience with dike inspection when he arrived at the Kingston Fossil Plant in October 2008.
"I had heard of them, but I'd never seen one," he said.
Despite that inexperience, TVA charged him with writing a key report about the inspection.
Attorney Jeff Friedman said it was that kind of conduct on the part of TVA that caused the dike to fail two months later.
"The disaster was a tragedy the likes of which this state and country had never seen," Friedman said.
Roane County officials think changes at the ambulance service have turned the rocky operation around, but the entity isn't out of the woods yet.
Consultant Jack Jinks, who has worked for Roane County Executive Ron Woody first at Emergency Management Agency and now with interim director Howie Rose at the ambulance service, made a presentation Tuesday about how operational changes and conditions at the Roane County Ambulance Service have changed over the last few months.
U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee told colleagues this week that he will step down from the Senate Republican leadership in January when he completes four years as chairman of the Senate Republican Conference.
Matthew Tyler Walls, a 19-year-old Roane County resident, was arrested on Sept. 16 and charged with three counts of aggravated animal cruelty.
Animal Control Director John Griffin said officers responded to Walls' home at 251 Clear Springs Road near Kingston, where they discovered six hound dogs on the property. Three were dead.
"Nothing but bones," said Griffin, who said officials were alerted to the situation by an anonymous caller. He said the smell of dead animals probably prompted the call.
Grill & Pub owner Grover Norton left the Roane County Courthouse Tuesday evening having been found in violation of his beer permit. However, he also left the courthouse with the right to still sell beer at his establishment outside Harriman.
In exchange for not contesting the violation, the Roane County Beer Board voted 4-1 to allow the permit to remain in effect subject to certain conditions.
"I'm happy with what went on," Norton said about the meeting.
An American flag that will be donated to the World Memorial in honor of those who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, will fly high in Oliver Springs on Sept. 22.
Disabled American Veterans Chapter 26 will hoist the 30-by-56-foot Patriot Flag at Beech Park Baptist Church in Oliver Springs. The flag presentation will be from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
The flag will be retired in an Oct. 2 ceremony at the World Memorial in Escondido, Calif.
Rockwood police took out an arrest warrant on a man after a toddler in his care was found wandering in the street on Thursday.
The warrant against James Saylor, 30, is for felony reckless endangerment.
"Apparently he was asleep and the baby got out of the house," Rockwood Police Chief Bill Stinnett said. "He didn't have no idea the baby got out."
A motorist found the 2-year-old boy in the middle of the road on Evans Street around 11 a.m.
Last week Tiger Haven filed a $2.5 million counterclaim against the neighbors who are part of the lawsuit that was brought against the sanctuary in June.
Citing extensive media coverage, Tiger Haven attorney S. Douglas Drinnon also asserts his clients cannot receive a fair trial in Roane County and is asking the court for a change of venue.
"Plaintiffs and various other Roane County residents and officials have initiated, pursued and promoted a very public campaign against the defendants," Drinnon wrote.

Library of Congress Commences "Celebration of the Book"
"Books That Shaped America" Exhibition to Begin Project
The Library of Congress – the world's largest repository of knowledge and information – will begin an ongoing "Celebration of the Book" with an exhibition this summer of "Books That Shaped America." It will be part of a larger series of programs, symposia and other events that explore the important and varied ways that books influence our lives.
The "Books That Shaped America" exhibition will be on view from June 25 through Sept. 29 in the Southwest Gallery, on the second floor of the Library's Thomas Jefferson Building, located at 10 First St. S.E., Washington, D.C. The exhibition will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The Library's Great Hall and exhibitions are open on federal holidays except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. All other parts of the Library are closed on all federal holidays. This exhibition is made possible through the support of the National Book Festival Fund.
The Library's "Celebration of the Book" includes its 12th annual National Book Festival, which will be held Sept. 22-23 on the National Mall. The festival draws hundreds of thousands of book lovers each year.
The initial selection of "Books That Shaped America" will not be definitive; rather, it will mark the beginning of an ongoing recognition of culturally significant books from all genres of writing. Members of the public will be asked to nominate books for subsequent lists of "Books That Shaped America." In 2013, the Library will recognize "Books That Shaped the World."
"The 'Celebration of the Book' at the Library of Congress demonstrates our recognition of books as the cornerstones of American culture and democracy," said Librarian of Congress James H. Billington. "We want to involve all Americans in a conversation about books and how they have affected them."
The Library of Congress, with collections that are universal and comprise all media, has a long history of acknowledging the importance of books. It sponsors book symposia and author discussions, held year-round; exhibitions, such as the display of Thomas Jefferson's Library, which formed the "seed" of today's Library of Congress; and its annual National Book Festival.
Founded in 1800, the Library of Congress is the nation's oldest federal cultural institution. The Library seeks to spark imagination and creativity and to further human understanding and wisdom by providing access to knowledge through its magnificent collections, programs and exhibitions. Many of the Library's rich resources can be accessed through its website at www.loc.gov.

Hey, folks.
Just wanted to leave a quick note saying that a few things happened in September that pushed my timetable for the show back a bit (not the least of which was that I caught the latest iteration of the Martian Death Flu). I'm writing Episode 2 of The Every World News now and with any luck should be getting it produced some time this month.
With time, space and projects being what they are, I'm sorry to say I can't promise a REGULAR release schedule for the podcast -- right now it's looking like I may be getting an episode out every 8 weeks or so, though that could easily change. But, whether it's sporadic or with regularity, rest assured that I plan to keep putting out episodes of the Every World News for as long as humanly possible. :)
