Giving 'Em the Old Razzle Dazzle
There is an approach, within military strategy, known as "Razzle Dazzle." The idea is to stand out with such visual intensity so as to perplex your target. This might be a good point of comparison with the work of Meredyth Sparks, which addresses political issues by dialetically fusing stills from the halls of rock music history, a constructivist visual vocabulary, and bling...lots of bling! Her current show at New York's Elizabeth Dee gallery, entitled "We were strangers for too long," employs images and sculpture heavy on silver foil, vinyl, and glitter, as ammo in launching an argument about intersections of "radical chic" and the culture wars. Her digitally-processed collages layer not only images from the mid-1970s that she argues chart a rise in rebellion against conservative culture, but also splice together art historical references to perspectivalism, the history of photographic media, and modernism's love affair with the grid. Her work both pushes and critiques the ideology of loud, glam, in your face activism, looking particularly at how strains of punk rock became (either through their own design or by a process of co-opting) part of the capitalist system they sought to tear down, thus raising the question of how we might come to fight fire with fire by once again making protest hot. - Marisa Olson

Livin' It Up When You're Going Down
Damon Rich would like you to remember that in Old French, "mortgage" means "death vow." This truism rings sadly ironic in the United States where financial crisis has put many people out of their homes and the implosion of the subprime mortgage market has had deeper effects upon the national economy and our international relations. In a show at the MIT Museum, commissioned by the Center for Advanced Visual Studies, called "Red Lines, Death Vows, Foreclosures, Risk Structures," Rich explores the architectural history and financial terrain of the American housing market and the continued impetus toward residential development and unsound design practices. The artist is the founder of the venerable Center for Urban Pedagogy (CUP) collective who work with youth and local community members to address street-level issues through research and remarkable art projects. Rich's penchant for excavating facts, figures, and ideological trends is manifest in the exhibition, which includes new video work, photos, drawings, models, and historical artifacts. Open through December 21st, the show promises to draw a big red line around "the furious circulation of finance capital." - Marisa Olson

AIDS 3D's "Digital Awakening" at K44 Gallery
The artist statements written by Berlin-based American artists AIDS-3D read as simultaneously post-apocalyptic and utopian. They are primarily concerned with the unfulfilled promises of emergent technologies and the ways in which our daily lives revolve around these media. Alienation, self-preservation, reproduction (sexual and otherwise), and the construction of lifestyles are common themes in their work, which takes the form of performances, sculptures, and installations frequently employing lasers, electroluminescent cable, and relics from a recent past promoting the heights to which novelties of various origin will change the world. On September 20th, the duo will open the show "Digital Awakening" at Athens, Greece-based K44 Gallery, in which they will elaborate two radically different future scenarios, one in which Earth suffers "a disastrous energy crisis leading to war, famine and the breakdown of the global capitalist system" and an another where "humanity lives in a techno-utopia, where communication tools and futuristic technology fueled by alternative energy have allowed us to fully transcend into a scientifically maintained balance." Considering the potential impact of current directions in the field of energy production, these fictional accounts may not be the work of utter fantasy. - Marisa Olson
A Spiritual Movement?
Many of the artists recently covered on Rhizome have shared an interest in spirituality, particularly as it intersects with mythology and ethos. Call it new media three-point-something, this sect of artists is also significantly prolific and a new show at Prato, Italy gallery Project Gentili surveys very recent work by a handful of the most interesting, including Maurizio Bianchi, Brody Condon, Deva Graf, Shane Hope, Xavi Hurtado, Michael Jones McKean, Dexter Sinister, Damon Zucconi, and AIDS-3D. Entitled "Pole Shift," the show alludes to a recent resurgence in New Age attitudes and interest in the metaphysical; particularly the conjecture that the earth might undergo an axial adjustment, causing a relocation of its poles. (Some worry warts link this prediction with the fear that an expiration in the Mayan calendar in the Gregorian year 2012 signals not only a pending geographic shake-up, but also an apocalypse.) Appropriately, many of the works in the show combine technology and a keen interest in systems with an end-of-an-era, eleventh-hour-type fervency sure to keep viewers on the tips of their toes. After its preview in Italy, the show will be reincarnated in nearly the same shape at Art-Forum Berlin, October 25-December 15. Assuming the world hasn't turned upside down by then, the show's worth adding to your art tour itinerary. - Marisa Olson
Broadening the Spectrum
Montreal-based artist Matthew Biederman is daring to speak out about what he sees as military and government hijacking of what is "arguably one of Earth's most important, and only inexhaustible resources": air waves. Whereas radio was once intended as a many-to-many mode of communication, tight regulation of frequencies has led to a scenario in which the few (mostly corporate entities) are entitled to speak to the masses. His project, DAREDX, "seeks to re-establish the public's presence and right of occupation within the radio spectrum." In an effort to restore some of the utopian ideals initially associated with radio, the project will connect the public with the voices that float in the air around them and yet often go unheard: the voices of amateur broadcasters. Working almost like an astronomer, Biederman (under the call sign VA2XBX) will pluck transmissions out of the night sky, playing them back in Montreal's Cabot Square and logging and mapping them online. Drawing a connection between free public speech and the right of public assembly, DAREDX will amplify the voice of the people. Radioheads will be excited to know that non-vocal signals will also be charted, as the artist will "work with digital communications on HF, in order to send and receive SSTV (SlowScan Televsion), WEFAX (from NOAA Satellites), PSK31, Hellschrieber, and many more." In case you don't feel dialed-in enough to understand what that means, consider attending one of the talks, walks, or workshops associated with the project--including the one on how to build and take home your own FM transmitter! - Marisa Olson

Interesting Things
One project had trouble installing the Rails 2.3.3 with the most recent version of Rubygems (1.3.5) on a Gentoo box (EY Solo instance). Installing the gem on an OSX box worked fine with the same versions. No obvious solution presented itself, other than to roll back to Rubygems version 1.3.1.
If you do update your Rubygems version to 1.3.5 and you use Geminstaller you must update your Geminstaller gem to 0.5.2; Rubygems made some changes that break Geminstaller's implementation. If you use an older version of Rubygems then keep using Geminstaller 0.5.1.
One project wanted to find all places where they needed to escape user input on their site, so they injected
<script>alert('foo');</script>into every text field in the database, ran through their site, and looked for every place that a pop up box appeared.

It's a highly pigmented and easy to apply bright yellow, which wipes the floor with a lot of other colourful mattes brands have brought out. It's smooth so application is easy, opacity is not hard to achieve, and it blends wonderfully. My only complaint is that it's slightly chalky/powdery in texture, but not so much that it would be a problem.

County town of Leitrim, the town is located at an important crossroads on the Shannon. Up until the 16C, the district was controlled by the O'Rourkes, who ruled it from their Leitrim stronghold. The town acquired its fortifications after receiving a charter from James I and continued to grow with the development of the Shannon in 1846, followed by the arrival of the railways. Its position at the upper limit for navigation on the Shannon makes it ideal for cruises and fishing.

Health nutrition store opens DowntownWritten by Staff Reports | | firstname.lastname@example.com
By Tom Konecny, Toledo Free Press Staff Writer
Nutrition City, a health food and wellness lifestyle business, has opened in Downtown Toledo. The store is focused on helping its customers manage their health, and not just necessarily lose weight.
"If your goals are to lose weight, gain weight, maintain – we customize meal plans," said Jason Trzcinski, who co-owns the location with Joe Rodriguez, both lifelong area residents. "They'll come in try the shake, and we'll talk about what you want to do. It's not all about shakes, but we talk about leaner meats and vegetables."
Wellness customization and one-on-one coaching is key to their success, and what separates them from other nutrition stores.
"Here I have a trainer around me, and that's the difference what we do and the straight-up retail places," Trzcinski said. "We introduce them to the products and ask them what they want to do. We've been down here a month and people are coming to us."
As the business partners looked for locations, they knew Downtown was where they wanted to be right from the start. They spent seven to eight months refurbishing a building on Adams Street, and opened in April.
"We scouted Downtown for a while and saw an opportunity there," Trzcinski said. "There is a lot to offer Downtown. It was more about 'Let's get something Downtown to change peoples' lives.'"
Nutrition City is already changing lives with a solid core of 30 to 40 customers since its start. Trzcinski's marketing mission is to get their message out to every single floor of every single downtown building to "let people know we're there."
Even though they offer quality supplements and individual coaching, Trzcinski knows it comes down to the person having that motivation from within and simply wanting to do it.
"We become their coach, and we'll put as much into it as they put into it," Trzcinski said. "You can't discredit the products for not working if someone's not disciplined. You have to have the energy and strength, and that ties into the healthier lifestyle. We've seen such great results, we're very proud of ourselves. You've just got to feed the body well and it'll do wonders."
Nutrition City clients can already speak of solid results.
"I've had really good success with it," said J.D. Bragg of Toledo. "I've lost 28 pounds, lost 10 percent fat and gained 15 percent lean muscle mass. It's working. It's definitely changed my life, and I just started with it."
Being Downtown is part of their strategy in more ways than one. Not only are they looking to attract individuals, but draw businesses, too. They also plan to market to crowds on game nights.
"We have some flyers that breaks down what we do," Trzcinski said. "We do weight challenges. We do wellness profiles. We'll start a competition. Health care is shooting through the roof, so it's a part of the longer term plan we have that's part of the strategy for Downtown."
Nutrition City is located at 623 Adams St. Hours are 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, and also by appointment. For more information, call (419) 408-1514, or visit facebook.com/NutritionCityToledo.

The McLennan Highlanders defeated the Eastfield Harvesters 70-65 Monday in Mesquite.
MCC opened the game on a 6-0 run. Eastfield responded with an 11-0 run in the next four minutes to take the 11-6 lead. The Harvesters extended the lead to 10 but the Highlanders fought back, taking the 28-27 lead into the break.
The two teams traded baskets until the midway point of the second half when MCC began to pull away. The Highlanders built a 10-point lead with 3:28 to go in the game. Eastfield cut the lead to five multiple times down the stretch but was unable to pull any closer.
Devonse Reed led MCC with 13 points and Tevin Hanner scored 12.
The Highlanders will return to the court on Jan. 3, hosting Richland at 7 p.m.

It was the first basketball camp at Goose Creek High School for coach Blake Hall but it had the energy of an event that has been around a while.
"I was very delighted with the turnout," said Hall, the Gators boys basketball coach. "It was a positive start."
He estimated about 50 kids participated in the camp over four days last week. The camp was for grades 1-8 and was broken up daily with two sessions. Emphasis was placed on skill development.
"Hopefully that number will grow," Hall said. "We're trying to teach the kids the game and the skills they need to work on to be a better basketball player at the next level."
The camp was attended by kids from areas all over the Lowcountry not just Goose Creek, Hall said.
"We had a good bit from all over," he added. "We had them from Moncks Corner, Cross, Goose Creek and a couple from North Charleston. It was a pretty diverse group."
Hall's team was one of the most accomplished squads in the state last winter, going 22-5 and playing for the Class AAAA championship. The Gators also won Region 7-AAAA and the Lower State title.
This past weekend the Gators varsity and JV teams went a combined 13-0 in games at Charleston Southern's team camp.

I've been on an ice cream making kick lately. Today's creation is the best one yet! It tastes like pumpkin pie with fresh whipped cream. Totally yummy! And seeing as there's a bit of pumpkin in it I think it counts as a serving of fruits/veggies! Enjoy!
Pumpkin Maple Ice Cream
1 3/4 cups heavy cream (whipping cream or full cream, depending on where you live)
1 1/4 cups 1% milk
1/2 cup grade B maple syrup (or amber grade A maple syrup)
3/4 to 1 cup of canned pumpkin
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 pinches of salt
Whisk ingredients together in a bowl or in a large measuring cup with a spout (for easier pouring). Chill in fridge until cold (at least a half hour). Whisk again briefly, just to combine, then place in ice cream machine. It took roughly 22 minutes in my Cuisinart ice cream maker. Makes 1 quart.

His receivers are no better then Jacksonville's. Tito...Forte was a force last season when Orton was the quarterback and they had no receivers or offense for that matter. And to say he isn't going to get better is crazy...he was only a rookie last season. And what about Chris Johnson you guys?? He will be the go to player in Tennessee this season. "

Calatrava's Soaring Pavilion Spreads its Wings to Create Shade
The Milwaukee Art Museum originally took up two floors of space in a 1957 building designed by Eero Saarinen as a war memorial. Then in 1975 a larger space was created for the museum by David Kahler, who connected the building to the city with a concrete bridge. To further accommodate its needs for more space, a grander entrance and a strong image for the city, the museum sought out architects to design a new addition and settled on Santiago Calatrava in 1994. The impressive project is now called the Quadracci Pavilion, named after Betty and Harry Quadracci who kicked off the capital campaign with a $10 million donation.
Calatrava took inspiration from the nearby lake, sailboats and soaring birds to create his masterpiece, which was built next to the existing Kahler building and connects to Wisconsin Avenue via a cable-stay footbridge. The white steel and concrete building is reminiscent of a large ship about to set sail on the water and adds 13,200 square meters to the existing 14,900 square meters of exhibition space.

If we could make only one guess about this year's E3, it would be in favor of Animal Crossing Wii.
Why it's likely: We've been hearing rumblings forever -- now it's time we learned some real specifics.
Why we might not see it: We would honestly be so shocked if Animal Crossing wasn't announced that we would eat our proverbial hats. Maybe even our actual hats.
Prediction: It's a lock.
Kid Icarus is another name that's been bandied about as a candidate for a "new" franchise. We're just hoping Man Icarus doesn't show up.
Why it's likely: There are some people who consider Kid Icarus to be as much a lock as Animal Crossing at this year's show.
Why we might not see it: With all of the announcements we're anticipating from Nintendo, one or two might get held back -- like this one -- but we doubt it.
Prediction: Likely.
The list of announcements already all-but-confirmed continues with the next Zelda. It's been mentioned, along with the team that's working on it. All that's left is for Nintendo to make things official.
Why it's likely: Nintendo needs some strong announcements right now, considering the end of the year looks a little empty. We're going to get them, too -- starting with this.
Why we might not see it: IT'S A SECRET TO EVERYBODY.
Prediction: The only real question is: Wii, DS, or both?
So, whatever happened to those Wii colors we've been seeing, oh... since forever! Maybe they'll be found this year.
Why it's likely: If Nintendo can get that whole supply and demand issue handled, this is a lock.
Why we might not see it: That whole supply and demand issue.
Prediction: Likely. We'll take one in red, please.
Supply -- Nintendo ain't got it, and the world is demanding it. We're pretty sure that the continually robust sales of the Wii will come up at the conference, along with promises to get the problem under control.
Why it's likely: Nintendo doesn't want to disappoint all those people who are still looking for Wiis.
Why we might not see it: It may yet be an unsolved mystery.
Prediction: Likely. Nintendo likes to talk about their unwavering ability to print money.
So, Nintendo has this whole WiiWare service, but you'd never know it from advertisements. Why? Because there aren't any... but we have a feeling it might be an issue of import during the conference.
Why it's likely: There are some big titles coming. LostWinds may have been great, but it's no Mega Man.
Why we might not see it: Then again, WiiWare really seems to have cooties or something.
Prediction: Likely. There's too much coming down the pipe for Nintendo to keep ignoring WiiWare. Look for the Virtual Console, too, particularly in discussions of sales and success.
But with WiiWare comes DLC. Some people love it, some people hate it, but we want to know that it'll be around when it's necessary and that there won't be too much.
Why it's likely: Nintendo is big on discussing their success, and this is a potential moneymaker. It's a probable bullet point for the conference.
Why we might not see it: May get lost in the rest of the discussions.
Prediction: Even odds. There's a lot to talk about here -- it's just whether or not it comes up.
Wii Fit is good. Wii Fit is great. But if there's one thing Wii Fit lacks, it's loads of content. A sequel or downloadable content seems a likely announcement.
Why it's likely: While Wii Fit won't be the showstopper it was last year, it's certain to come up in some capacity.
Why we might not see it: Really, we're gonna see it. Stop asking.
Prediction: Wii Fit will come up somewhere, and we're willing to bet there's going to be extra content (or a new game) in the offing.
Speaking of things we're willing to spend money on: Mega Man 9 is bound to get a mention somewhere, and we're not just talking about Capcom's announcements and releases. Even though we've just lost our supposed-exclusivity. Mega Man 9 is going to be a big deal for Nintendo.
Why it's likely: Comparisons to other platforms, footage, information... we want it all, and they are probably going to give it to us!
Why we might not see it: Oh, we'll see it.
Prediction: We're already looking at screenshots... in our minds.
Geeks and otaku aside, the storage problem is beginning to be an issue with all sorts of Wii owners -- and Nintendo is going to do something about it.
Why it's likely: We all need a solution, and we think there's going to be one -- just not a hard drive.
Why we might not see it: This may get held until the holiday season.
Prediction: Likely. In order to stay current, Nintendo's going to have to do something.
Pikmin! We haven't seen the end of this franchise, not by a long shot.
Why it's likely: A Pikmin announcement is long overdue.
Why we might not see it: While we think a Pikmin game is in the offing, we just might not hear about it yet.
Prediction: Even odds. Nintendo can't announce everything right now, after all.
Mario's got a lot of hobbies. He already spends his time on the Wii racing, kicking ass, and drifing around the galaxy. What now?
Why it's likely: Very likely. Mario can't be contained! The only question is: what will he take on next?
Why we might not see it: After Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros Brawl, Nintendo may defer to a new Mario game on the DS instead.
Prediction: Likely -- we're thinking golf.
With the DS series taking a sideways shift toward new guys, it might be time for Phoenix Write to find a new home.
Why it's likely: It wouldn't take much work to bring Phoenix Wright to the Wii.
Why we might not see it: ...but then again, what's the point?
Prediction: Long shot.
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata indicated that a Wii Sports sequel wasn't likely, as it would be "taking the easy way," but it's not like Nintendo always churns up new ideas. Mario says hello, amirite?
Why it's likely: It's been almost a year since Iwata said that, and a Wii Sports sequel would sell. Can we have online play, please?
Why we might not see it: Well, obvious, because Iwata said we wouldn't!
Prediction: Long shot.
Project H.A.M.M.E.R. is on. It's off. It's on. It's off. It's on and casual. If it's ever coming back, it'll appear at this year's show.
Why it's likely: We're really not sure it is, but we so hope so.
Why we might not see it: This one's been MIA for a long time now, and rumor is that it's dead.
Prediction: Even odds -- but that just may be us being hopeful.
Disaster: Day of Crisis is in the same boat as the aforementioned Project H.A.M.M.E.R., but it seems to be a little more likely to make its return.
Why it's likely: Disaster: DoC is such a neat concept, and it seems less dead than Project H.A.M.M.E.R.
Why we might not see it: This is another game that just may have fallen off the face of the earth.
Prediction: Likely, but not a lock, not at all.
The Conduit has been hyped to the sky -- particularly by its own devlopers -- and it doesn't even have a publisher yet. What better time to reveal this tidbit?
Why it's likely: It's almost certain!
Why we might not see it: Maybe there's a reason we don't know this yet....
Prediction: Likely -- and we think it'll be either THQ, EA, or Nintendo themselves.
Nintendo recently indicated that they weren't interested in making any more Brain Age titles for the DS, but what about a Wii version?
Why it's likely: Nothing prints money like Brain Age.
Why we might not see it: If you thought you had trouble with the handwriting recognition before....
Prediction: Long shot, but it wouldn't surprise us.
Not only is the timing perfect for Wii Music -- it's the for-everyone answer to the Guitar Heroes and the Rock Bands -- but it's long overdue for release.
Why it's likely: This is as much a lock as Animal Crossing, and will almost certainly be out for the holidays.
Why we might not see it: We would die of shock, and we don't really want to discuss that possibility.
Prediction: Extremely likely!
Is Captain Rainbow the new IP that's been whispered about, or will there be something else up Nintendo's sleeve?
Why it's likely: Captain Rainbow wouldn't exactly be a completely new property -- it's got old familiar faces.
Why we might not see it: Nintendo's going to have so much else going on this year that another new anything seems unlikely.
Prediction: Our guess? Captain Rainbow is it, folks. But there's going to be a lot of other stuff that gets announced... and while all that might not be as new, it's certainly as exciting!
We know Balance Board-compatible games are coming, but E3 is bound to be a big show for the stand-and-play future.
Why it's likely: The Balance Board seems to have been embraced in a way that even motion control wasn't. It's likely we'll see several games utilizing the peripheral.
Why we might not see it: Possibly too soon to see any worthwhile footage, but unlikely.
Prediction: The real question is: how many different games will we see?
Last year was all about peripherals, which may seem odd for a controller that's supposed to be able to do anything. This year, we figure they'll cut down to only one extra piece.
Why it's likely: We'll definitely hear about the maracas for Samba de Amigo, but another add-on seems likely.
Why we might not see it: After all, this was their entire show last year, basically.
Prediction: Likely.

A Look Into San Francisco's Downtown Secret Gardens
First we visited 555 Mission Street, a gorgeously designed courtyard between two buildings. You can't miss it because it features some eye-catching and whimsical public art: Jonathan Borofsky's stacked tower of brilliantly painted steel humanoid figures and a trio of monstrous heads by Swiss sculptor Ugo Rondinone.
Visitors can sit on benches beneath a vine-draped living wall and inhale the scent of lavender plantings. To the rear of the courtyard, a series of modernist black granite benches are placed out in the sun, with a stark arrangement of trees and gravel completing the scene.
We locked our bikes up outside at the hefty bike racks at 888 Howard and entered the revolving door to the Hotel Intercontinental. After navigating our way through the lobby, we found the elevators and made our way up to the public terraces located on the 4th and 6th floors. The fourth floor terrace was enclosed in a vinyl tent and we deduced that a reception would be taking place there later. We headed up to the second terrace on the 6th floor, where a sign on the door indicated that the terrace was open to the public.
The Intercontinental has installed glass walls around the terrace, which we had heard was famously windy, and completed the scene with a variety of aluminum cafe tables and chairs. The terrace was a quiet and warm respite several floors above the noise of Howard Street.
We headed over to one of the newest "POPOS" at 1 Kearny Street and entered the modern lobby decorated with asymmetrical Scandinavian-style birch wood wall decor. We had to sign in with a security guard who led us to the elevator, where we saw a sign indicating there was a public space within (there was no sign outside).
It was then up to the rooftop, where we found a tiny but sunny and very attractive roof terrace with wooden benches, plantings, and a birds-eye view of downtown San Francisco. There was even a restroom on the roof for visitors.

Newbies, Post in Welcome Central to open up the boards

Don't want to steer Micah's thread off-topic to much.Another word thread perhaps?
Some years ago the result of searching out this "Image and Likeness" in Hebrew resulted in my sometimes using "Form and Similitude" to distinguish the difference. Generally, humans have the same form: a head, two arms and two legs. They are quite different from one another in their inner nature. Those earnestly following the leading of Jesus' Spirit have the same likeness. They are in the similitude of Jesus.Identical twins have the same form; but, they may be very dissimilar. One is gay and the other is not (which would be impossible if those inclinations were genetic. They would have the same genetic code. Naturally occurring clones, they would both always be the same.) One is jovial and fun. The other is serious and moody. If their personalities were more similar we could say they were of the same likeness.A jar has a certain form. I have one made by the same potter in a similar but slightly different color. One is in the image of the other. The white powders they contain have the same form. Because they are both sweet, one peach flavored and the other a raspberry flavored sugar, they are of like kind. The verses where this appears explain God's purpose is to have many with whom He may be intimate. The Shepherd cannot lie with the sheep or they both would be put to death. God wants a bride for His Son to bring forth His image and likeness that it may have dominion. This is described by Paul, both corporately and individually, as a Perfect, or Mature Man: The measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ (Ep 413.) This is a Royal Priesthood.The virgins have no intimacy with the king. The concubines have received seed; but, not running lawfully, they do not bear the exact image. The queens bring forth heirs in the image and likeness of the king. Yet, "My beloved is one." These are some 30, some 60, some 100 fold considerations."God is restoring His Image in the earth and raising it up to inherit all things. In the light of its rising all things are revealed." (--Rex Andrews)

Morning Smoothie – filled with nutritious ingredients. Taken on Instagram.
I have been needing a mix-up of my morning breakfast routine. Eggs, toast and fruit or gluten-free oatmeal, can get old after a while. A smoothie is my answer, as of lately. It's healthy, fast, fresh and fills you up!
We have been so busy lately! In between events (Whew! SXSW wore me out!), work and wedding planning; I feel like I haven't been able to take a breather and relax 100%. Speaking of wedding planning, things are moving along nicely. I actually went wedding dress shopping recently and found "the ONE" in Austin at a cute local boutique. It feels real that it's getting close and I'm thrilled.
Locate Special Diet will be making an appearance at a couple events around Texas soon. Make sure and check out the Texas VegFest coming up April 6, as well as the Dallas Mavericks Celiac Awareness Event brought to you by the good folks over at Gluten-Free Calendar. I'll be heading north to Dallas, April 12th to attend the event. I hope to see you there!
Also, I'd like to give a shout-out to the hilarious - April Peveteaux - who recently had a book signing for her new book coming out titled ~ Gluten is my Bitch (available for pre-order on Amazon). Thanks for mentioning our mobile app, Locate Special Diet, on your SXSW panel April!

Kalim : Tailors
Tailor shops are plentiful in Phuket and play a large part in the tourism trade. Visitors to Phuket can have most clothing items made to order in a few days and usually for much less than any European or US counterpart.
Made to measure evening wear, trousers, dresses, tuxedos and form fitting shirts can all be sewn up after the customer selects the many types of materials and colors on offer.
Many of these shops have hotel pick-up service and are known for their good workmanship and quality. It is recommended customers go through several fittings before the final stitching's to ensure a great fit.

Sure; he was neat. No rush though...
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
YES! Him and Grot should be considered for figures. They were great supporting characters with multiple appearances.
"Yep! And now I'm gonna blast ya!"

Meliac was a great character who looks all kinds of awesome!

I've just changed my profile picture because we got Geldor in MOTUC!
hmm no interest on this one, i'd rather see bigger NA characters getting done (he-man, skeletor, darius, artilla etc)
actual cyclops would be cool.
No, but I agree he was notable enough to warrant a toy. Was a good character and a good character arc.
Yeah I'd love to have a Meliak! He was a very cool character.
Would love this character in a NA sub line! He and Grot both!
he is a cool char

Sometimes you just need to buy the shoes.
Im frugal, like my father. I shop sales, use my Fuel Perks and have loyalty cards from a half-dozen pharmacies and grocery stores.
My clothes are practical: Pants and shirts that are tan, white and black in cotton and wool, with a few silk-blend sweaters. Ive worn the same Ann Taylor navy blazer for 12 years. Footwear? Sneakers, clogs, flat sandals and practical pumps.
My clothes are conservative today, but 15 years ago I moved in a different orbit. Didnt we all? Back then my wardrobe was not daring, exactly. Lets say free-spirited. Skirts were shorter and fabric was shiny, glittery or an eye-popping color like chartreuse. I wore things I wouldnt dream of wearing today (looking at you, leather pants.)
Id like to tell you I purged my closet when I realized that character and kindness were more important than a flashy wardrobe. But gravity had more to do with it. It dawned on me that nobody wants to see a 45-year-old womans knees in a miniskirt. And there is nothing sadder than mutton dressed as lamb, as the English say.
Thus my wardrobe today is based on these facts: 1) Its illegal to leave the house naked so I have to wear something and 2) Tailored and classic will take you further than bright and trendy. A gray wool pantsuit can be worn to funerals, meetings, interviews, weddings and court. A mermaid-hemmed Lycra sundress from Wet Seal can be worn to a beach party. See the difference? I like to get more bang for my clothing buck.
Im telling you all this because last week my sensible, calm wardrobe got a great big jolt.
At my mothers memorial service, I wore a sleeveless dress with a bell skirt and a ribbon waist sash. In the black hole that is my closet I unearthed a long-forgotten pair of summer sandals in a pewter color with a modest heel. Perfect.
Towards the end of the service I looked down and saw my shoes literally disintegrating before my eyes: The pewter coating or whatever it was, was peeling off in chunks. I clenched my toes over the bald spots and prayed no-one would look down and say, Honey, your shoes are melting.
When we got back to the hotel I threw them in the trash can.
But then I fretted about having no dress shoes. Seldom do we wear fancy togs, but one has to be prepared. So I began looking online for a cute pair of sandals. I didnt want black or brown or white, or a clunky heel--and they had to be comfortable. Such shoes are hard to find.
One day after weeks of searching, I saw them: A pair of Ralph Lauren gold sandals, strappy and sophisticated with a three-inch heel. Not daytime, going-to-the-library shoes, but dazzling, after-dark date night shoes. They were perfect! Then I saw the $90 price and groaned. I couldnt justify paying that much.
Every day Id go back to the site (Zappos) and sigh over those shoes, then scold myself for being frivolous. Id never wear them enough to make it a good investment. Maybe Id find a cheaper pair somewhere else.
Then one night Widdle Baby walked behind me as I stared dreamily at the screen and said, Buy the shoes.
Butbut I stammered.
Buy the shoes, he repeated. Life is short. Buy them.
So I did. And they are perfect. They fit, theyre comfortable and I get a little thrill every time I look at them.
Widdle is right: Life is short. Buy the shoes.

EPA Co-Hosts National Bed Bug Summit to Address the Return of a Pest
EPA provides citizens with information about how to protect themselves from bed bugs.
Although it might sound like a bad horror movie, the phrase The Return of the Bed Bugs has become all too real for many people who are dealing with the resurgence of a pest that until recently was considered a thing of the past. To help address the growing problem, EPA and several partner federal agencies hosted The Second National Bed Bug Summit on February 12, 2011, at Georgetown University in Washington, DC.
Dan Stout, an EPA biologist and urban entomologist who specializes in understanding people's exposures to pesticides as they move and change in the residential environment, is working on addressing the resurgence of bed bug infestations. Stout explains that their presence is being reported in all 50 states.
The Associated Press identified the 10 most infested cities in August 2010, which started a flurry of other investigations and reports about the problem. Apparently, the critters make good use of global transport systems, attach onto luggage, and find new homes with returning travelers. Not surprisingly, these unwanted guests are spreading to other living areas such as college libraries and dorms, buses, subways, movie theaters, retail stores, and hospital rooms.
Where are they hiding? Although initial infestations typically start in bedding, Stout says "They are partial to cracks and crevices in all sorts of places indoors, including where materials form gaps, like around drain pipes or electrical plugs." Other spots include baseboards, cracks in plaster, upholstered furniture cushions, folds of curtains, and cloth-covered stereo speakers.
Bed bugs have even grabbed the attention of the U.S. Congress. In November 2009, a State and U.S. representative convened the first Congressional Bed Bug Forum, and subsequently introduced the Don't Let the Bed Bugs Bite Act (H.R. 2248) into Congress. If passed, the act will provide training in pest management prevention and eradication techniques.
These small vermin are causing serious problems for pest control professionals who say that they are among the most difficult pests to eradicate. Portraying the significance of the problem, the National Pest Management Association and the University of Kentucky conducted a survey in 2010, which reported that 95 percent of professional pest control companies had encountered bed bug infestations in the past year. Furthermore, U.S. consumers paid $258 million to treat buildings for bed bugs in 2009 alone.
"Females shed their skin after consuming human blood meals that are necessary to bring them to maturity. These nuisance critters can live for several weeks between feedings, and females can deposit up to five eggs a day, and as many as 200 in a lifetime if well-fed," explains Stout, a lead scientist for the American Healthy Homes Survey (PDF) (53 pp, 1.3 MB), a 2009 nationwide survey of residential pest concentrations conducted by EPA in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Bed bug bites do not cause diseases in people, but they can lead to inflammation and possible secondary infection from excessive itching, Stout warned. Although bed bugs don't pose a threat to public health or property, EPA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have issued a joint statement on integrated pest management approaches for controlling the pest. What's the long-term fix for the bed bug dilemma? The National Pest Management Association says that specific solutions may take a decade of research, millions of dollars to accomplish, and could require a genetics-based approach to solve.
Stout suggests that the best scenario for now may be to focus on prevention. "People might want to reconsider not using second-hand furniture without a thorough, and if possible professional, cleaning first. People should minimize interior clutter to reduce bed bug hiding places." Another tip: "examine travel suitcases thoroughly, and unpack the contents directly into the washing machine." Here is a useful list of do's and don'ts:
Top five ways to find out if bed bugs are nearby:
- Check indoor cracks and crevices under low light conditions.
- Look for small blood drops in your home (wet or dry) or brown spots (fecal matter) because after engorging, bed bugs may excrete part of their meal, which leaves visible stains.
- Sniff around. Musty, sweet, and the smell of raw beef-like odors may indicate infestation.
- Launder linens regularly and dry your clothing at the highest temperature possible.
- When lodging away from home, check bed crevices and folds, as well as furniture or fixtures near the bed. Keep your luggage off the floor. Use the rack in the room, the tub, or the dry-cleaning bag typically provided to inhibit infestation.
Top five actions to take if bed bugs are found:
- Don't address the problem yourself. Contact building management or a licensed pest control professional with the tools and techniques to attack them where they live, without unnecessarily exposing occupants to pesticide residues.
- Vacuum floors, baseboards, and other bed bug friendly locations often. Discard the vacuum bag (or contents) immediately after it is collected.
- Periodically recheck the cracks, crevices, and other locations where bed bugs have previously been found to ensure that they have not returned.
- If you suspect a bite, contact a physician for authoritative confirmation that it resulted from a bed bug.
- Limit visitors (or visits) until the problem is gone.

McFarlane Is There as America's Favorite Family Comes to the Big Screen
Friday, February 09, 2007
Springfield is going Hollywood this summer with the release of the highly anticipated The Simpsons Movie, and McFarlane Toys has been tapped to support the film with a new line of intricately detailed action figures. In a licensing agreement with Twentieth Century Fox Licensing & Merchandising, McFarlane Toys will bring The Simpsons Movie characters to 3-D life through the McFarlane touch.
The new line, featuring favorite characters from the long-running series - as well as new characters from the film - will hit retail stores this spring. All McFarlane Toys' Simpsons Movie products feature incredible detail, voice chip technology capturing dialog taken directly from the film's soundtrack and custom bases.
"Precise sculpting and poses that capture the essence of the characters have made McFarlane Toys one of the leading action figure manufacturers, and this line is going to thrill fans of The Simpsons," says Elie Dekel, executive vice president of Fox Licensing and Merchandising.
Founder and CEO Todd McFarlane is working closely with The Simpsons Movie creative team to capture key moments from the film to give Simpsons fans a line of action figures that will do the iconic characters justice.
The Simpsons Movie marks the feature-length film debut of the most popular animated family on TV. Now in its 18th season, The Simpsons is the longest-running comedy series in the history of television. The critically praised series has been bestowed with numerous honors, including 21 Emmy® Awards, 21 Annie Awards, two People's Choice Awards, three Writers Guild Awards, and a Television Critics Award for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy.
McFarlane Toys' The Simpsons Movie action figures will release in tandem with the feature film release, July 2007.

Area Make-A-Wish office hires new leadershipWritten by Amanda Tindall | | firstname.lastname@example.com
By making others' wishes come true, two new members of the Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation are fulfilling one of their own — the wish to change lives.
Cherie Chatreau-Grifo, new senior development officer, and Doug Kelly, new president and CEO, expressed the enjoyment they get from seeing children's wishes come true in through Make-A-Wish.
"I had no idea how much of an impact it can make," Chatreau-Grifo said. "It doesn't just change the child's life. It changes the whole family. Mom and dad get a break. It's covered financially, all the plans are made ahead of time for them. When they get there they're treated like stars wherever they go. When they get back, they're refreshed and the kid wants to continue his treatments now because he feels better, he's happier."
Chatreau-Grifo said this is different from any work she's ever done, even though she's always worked in the nonprofit area, previously with child protective services and then the Arthritis Foundation.
"Before, it was just like pulling teeth to get people to help," Chatreau-Grifo said. "Here people just want to get involved. They want to help. You can see it. I was looking for something that would reignite my passion. I had a previous employer talk to me about it, and said this would be a great opportunity."
Chatreau-Grifo's job is to fundraise to ensure the wishes can be financially supported. Each wish is provided at no charge to the family — hotels, plane tickets and meals. Make-A-Wish makes all the plans, so the families can relax and take a break.
"Basically, I go out and let everyone in the community know what we do and why we do it, and then ask for money," Chatreau-Grifo said. "I'm looking for people who want to support this. I just try to grant the funds for all the wishes that we get. Right now we have 68 wishes we're working on in Northwest Ohio."
Many of the wishes Make-A-Wish grants to children with [life-threatening medical conditions] include trips to Disney World, swims with dolphins or meeting a professional athlete. Chatreau-Grifo said the kids, ages 2 to 18, get more creative with their wishes when they're older.
"The ones that really touch you the most are the ones who want to pay it forward," Chatreau-Grifo said. "We had a girl in Cincinnati whose wish was to feed the hungry. She wanted them to have hot soup. They set up a meeting with chef Jean-Robert [de Cavel] and came up with a soup that they call Natalia's Soup of Love. They served it at all the soup kitchens in Cincinnati, and I'm reaching out and we're going to try to serve it here in Toledo at the Cherry Street Mission."
Kelly said kids like Natalia and all the other wish kids are what inspire him in his job.
"There are many things that are inspirational about Make-A-Wish, but let's just start with the kids that we serve. These are kids with life-threatening conditions, whether it be cancer or cystic fibrosis. These kids live, many times, in the climate of no: no friends, no sports, no playing outside. What we do is we say 'yes' to something they really, deeply want. Sometimes it's building a man cave in their basement. Sometimes it's a trip to Disneyland, but that yes is a very, very powerful thing."
Kelly began a new job search after leaving electoral politics. When his brother died unexpectedly at 51, Kelly said he was motivated to do something bigger and more cause-driven.
"I wanted to do something that kind of moves the needle and makes a difference on a larger scale. I talked to my wife and started a six-month job search. I saw this listing for the president of Make-A-Wish, and I turned to my wife and said, 'Yes! That's what I want to do.'"
Kelly said he works with the board of directors, their team and others with a vision to see wishes granted, making Make-A-Wish in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana succeed as much as possible.
"One is to make sure we're raising the money we need, that we have the vision the organization needs," Kelly said. "That we're keeping the talent onboard to make sure that we can achieve our mission, which is to grant the wishes of the kids with life-threatening illnesses. At the end of the day, that's the CEO's job."
Kelly said Make-A-Wish grants about 800 wishes a year in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, and this year will be granting about 810. Those wishes are made possible through donations of both money and airline miles.
Kelly said the donations of frequent flyer miles are incredibly useful because about 75 percent of wishes require flights, and the miles never expire.
Kelly said 76 percent of the money used at Make-A-Wish goes to grant wishes. There are Make-A-Wish chapters in Toledo, Cincinnati, Louisville, Cleveland, Columbus and Indianapolis. If money is raised in Northwest Ohio, Kelly said, they keep that money in the area.
"We want people to understand that Make-A-Wish is a very local organization," Kelly said. "You can become a volunteer on a local level. You can grant wishes in your community. Everyone who comes in contact with a wish comes away with a renewed sense of faith in humanity.
"I've been six months on the job, and it's the greatest job I've ever had," Kelly said.
For Chatreau-Grifo, that means money she raises in Northwest Ohio stays in Northwest Ohio. She said people can see how their money is affecting the lives of the children.
"At the end of the day, the thing that we're really focused on is providing the wishes for these kids to give them hope, strength and joy," Kelly said. "And everyone who comes in contact with that — you can never have too much hope in your life."

Courtesy of a post on my friend Steve Ray's blog, here are four You Tube videos of the entire show. The Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist is a wonderful, thriving religious community in Ann Arbor, Michigan (about 30 miles west of where I live, just west of Detroit). It was founded in 1997 with four sisters. Now it has grown to 98, with an average age of 26 and average age of entrance of 21. Marvelous! I love what Steve Ray wrote on his post:
This is one of many things that make me proud to be Catholic. Where do you find an institution that allows you to live out your calling for God if it is the single life? Jesus mentions those who are gifted to remain celibate, St. Paul lauds the single life of dedication to God. But how does one live out this life? The Catholic Church has made beautiful options for those who are called to such a life of devotion to God.
I very much register my "ditto" to that.

I'm having some major jealous issues... I'll be 18 weeks tomorrow, and we found out we are having a boy last week. So exciting... but I feel like I'm not enjoying this pregnancy like I did my last (until the PE of course). My hubby wants to register and I'm really dragging my feet on it... the idea scares me. I keep thinking about Veronica's things that sat in my basement for years (until his cousin named us Godparents and I gave a lot of veronica's stuff to her). I finally sold a few things on ebay about 7 to 8 years later (thought was, she would have long outgrown them anyway, and they wouldn't still be in the house). I'm trying to think positive, but it's scary.
My blood pressure has been running between 91/55 to 112/73, but mostly under 105/65... we will be 18 weeks tomorrow. I'm guessing I'm not alone in feeling like this.

At this point I don't want my phone to attempt to predict what I want. My life is varied enough and I'm doubtful that my phone is going to provide the information I need with more frequency than it provides me info I don't need.
At this point we should be looking at at more complex queries. Neither system handles the type of query that a 5 year old can easily manage "Go grab the the remote from the kitchen table, take it to your mother and then bring it back when she's done"
At his point both Siri and Google now and spit back 1 answer per query but what if my question involves multiple answers? "What is the population of the countries that surround Germany?" "When was World War II and who were the protagonists?"
That's a whole level of complexity above what we have now. Taking the easy way out would encompass my phone doing things I really don't need i.e telling me when the train is coming as I enter the subway. Whether the train is late, early or derailed is beyond my sphere of control.
Siri is a huge deal and it's no surprise that developers don't have access to it yet. Apple needs to get the semantics working right across multiple languages and then further improve the parsing process so that it can handle nested and conditional queries with a high degree of accuracy. If not ...people will not use it that much.

Jody Alan Davis, 25, of Mount Airy, was killed Monday when his pick-up truck struck a fallen oak tree on Prison Camp Road in Dobson at approximately 6:51 p.m.
Davis was traveling toward Dobson on Prisom Camp Road near Old County Home Road when a large tree fell in the road in front of his car as a result of high wind.
"When the tree fell, he didn't have time to react, and he ran through the tree and then into another tree on the left side of the road," said John Shelton, Surry County director of emergency services.
Emergency responders attempted resuscitation at the scene and he was taken to Northern Hospital in Mount Airy where he was pronounced dead at 7:46 p.m.
Detours were set up around the area as crews have been called in to repair power lines that were knocked down by the tree.
