Ahh, the Emmy Awards. What a magical time of year. For those of you who aren't quite literally drowning in schoolwork, you might not have appreciated tuning in for that two-hour block of television as much as I did, but I'm sure you enjoyed it to some degree nonetheless. It's the perfect marriage of my two loves- television and topical humor. This year was moderately funny, with a backstage opening skit featuring all our favorite babes of television (in robes), jabs at Mitt Romney, and Facebook's failing stock. The truth is, Jimmy Kimmel was pretty tame, and it's the host who makes or breaks it. It wasn't his best year.
So, let's get on with it… My thoughts on The Big Ones:
Outstanding Drama Series Nominees:
- Homeland (Winner)
- Boardwalk Empire
- Breaking Bad
- Downton Abbey
- Game of Thrones
- Mad Men
Perhaps it's just my outside perspective that makes Breaking Bad feel like a truly epic cultural phenomenon, but I was surprised to see Homeland take this one. I've never seen it, though reviews suggest that if you miss one episode, you're screwed, because it's intense! I think this one is going on my mental instant queue.
Outstanding Comedy Series Nominees:
- Modern Family (Winner)
- The Big Bang Theory
- Curb your Enthusiasm
- Girls
- 30 Rock
- Veep
Modern Family really swept up again this year, and to be frank, I'm really surprised to see Curb on this list of nominees. Please, don't get me wrong, Curb is one of my favorite shows of all time- but its popularity seems to be diminishing as the seasons go on, and I haven't heard much buzz about it at all recently.
Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series Nominees:
- Julia Louis-Dreyfus, "Veep" (Winner)
- Zooey Deschanel, "New Girl"
- Lena Dunham, "Girls"
- Edie Falco, "Nurse Jackie"
- Tina Fey, "30 Rock"
- Melissa McCarthy, "Mike and Molly"
- Amy Poehler, "Parks and Recreation"
In my very humble opinion, Melissa McCarthy was absolutely in second place for this award. And I'm not just saying that because she played Sookie in Gilmore Girls. If you haven't yet had the pleasure, look her up. Although there's no doubt Julia deserved this one.
Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series
- Jon Cryer, "Two and a Half Men" (Winner)
- Alec Baldwin, "30 Rock"
- Don Cheadle, "House of Lies"
- Louis CK, "Louie"
- Larry David, "Curb Your Enthusiasm"
- Jim Parsons, "The Big Bang Theory"
I have this strange hang up about never really getting that into female actresses, but for some reason the male lead actor category is always my favorite. Jim Parsons won this one last year, most deservedly, but this year Jon Cryer being recognized for yet another amazing season of Two and a Half Men. Happy as I was for Duckie, I was outraged that Louis CK didn't walk away with this one! (Although, he did win Best Comedy Writing for Louie, which is something.)
Lots of notable moments this year- like Seth MacFarlane missing the microphone on stage. "This is what happens when you don't come to rehearsal" he admits. My favorite moment of the night was Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Amy Poehler swapping acceptance speeches, where Julia begins to thank NBC, Parks and Rec, and her two beautiful boys- when the camera cuts to Amy running up to the stage to give her back her crumpled sheet of paper.
I'm never good at making mental lists of whom I think will win the awards; I'm just an innocent bystander, I really only have the nerve to work up an opinion once things are all said and done. What about all of you? Did everyone get what they deserved? And the most important question of all… how good did Modern Family's Sofia Vergara look in her super sexy teal number?

Stop Asking Your Vendor For Leads"Where are my leads?" Have you ever asked your vendor this question? Or how about asking a new vendor that is trying to court you as a solution provider: "What is your lead distribution like?" We all ask our vendors for leads because, quiet honestly, doing so is easier than generating them ourselves. Unfortunately, what we get in return is typically not the kind of leads we want. In fact, they can actually hurt business rather than help it.

D-Link Airspot Public/Private Service GatewayWith wireless gateways dropping in price and increasing in feature sets, they are becoming a boon for small businesses to increase worker productivity. However, the security issues surrounding wireless networks often elicit immediate trepidation in solution providers and network administrators.

Hewlett-Packard NX7000Notebook computers are available in so many new and interesting shapes and sizes, it's getting harder to choose the best one. In picking the CRN Test Center notebook of the year, engineers wanted something a little different yet representative of the numerous advances in notebook technology in 2003. It had to be portable yet have a big screen. It had to be relatively lightweight yet be loaded with features. Also, a Centrino unit was preferable because of its high efficiency and long battery life.

ALBANY - Irish journalist Phelim McAleer has put together a documentary embraced by the pro-fracking forces.
"And we need to ask these people (fracking opponents) hard questions and ask them for scientific results and when they don't come up with the scientific results move on and say we got it wrong," McAleer told a news conference Monday.
Meanwhile, at the same time, anti-frackers were asking what they consider hard questions outside the State Senate chamber.
After combing through financial disclosure forms, they're raising conflict of interest questions about the Governor's Secretary, Larry Schwartz, who shows investments in a couple of companies likely to profit if fracking goes forward in New York.
"We felt that this does not meet the standard that New Yorkers deserve of public impartiality and openness and transparency," said John Armstrong of FrackAction.com.
Back with the pro-frackers, Nick Scoonover is a landowner in Tioga County.
"Many of these farmers, my family included, have been in the business for generations and the last thing they want to do is they want to do anything that causes them to not be able to farm their land and pass it on to their children," said Scoonover.

You will not be disappointed - Great Israeli wines!
Posted by Gina on 07/21/2009
The first thing I would say, is you will never have service like you do in Taboon anywhere else. The staff is wonderful. I have had dinner here many times. I haven't tried everything on the menu yet. My favorite to date is the Hanger Steak it to me is better than any steak I have had in a Steakhouse. The Salads and Dips are out of this world one better than the next. The seafood is fresh like it was just caught. The desserts are heavenly. The decor makes you feel like you are on vacation....I cannot say enough nice things about Taboon. Also for Manhattan the prices aren't bad....over all one of my favorite spots!

We dined here recently. The food was great. The sea bass special was amazing and perfectly done. The atmosphere was excellent for a meal with friends. The only draw back was our obnoxious waiter. We wanted to order bread to start with but he told us we couldn't order it because the kitchen was small and they had to receive our whole order all at once. This was probably a tactic to ensure we vacated our table on time. We had been warned about vacating the table when we booked. That's fine, but it should hardly become a burden to a diners experience. We will definitely go back for the food, but hopefully we'll get better service.

Fresh fish, fresh bread, great service, beautiful, yet simple decor. Zucchini cake, falafel, veggie plate, sorbets and molten chocolate cake were all delicious. The overall atmosphere was very relaxing, even though it was quite busy. Good noise level, good vibes. An overall great experience!

My nephew (21) and I experienced Taboon last month for an early dinner and were happy with our choice. When we walked in, the oven fire was blazing, but the decor was minimal. That didn't diminish the experience, however. We began with Tzatsiki and House Focaccia, which were a delightful start to the meal along with the zucchini cakes I ordered. My nephew had the Lamb Kebabs and I had the Beef Tchouma, both of which were tasty. The host told us that the Kebabs were an old family recipe of the owner's! To cap off our meal, my nephew ordered a very unusual dessert - Malabi. When I asked, he said he couldn't describe it, except that it was like a "...party in my mouth!" I tried it and he was right! I had ordered the molten chocolate cake, which was rich and decadent. Thanks to Taboon, we had a nice time and a delicious dinner.

The food is amazing and the place is spectacular. Most people go for the food, a pretty hostess only gets you so far in the restaurant business. Amazing place and i would keep coming back even if they hired Bozo the clown, or the Cookie Monster to host! This isn't Maixm magazine dude, so keep your tasteless lascivious fantasies to your self. As for everyone else? go, and enjoy. A real gem of a restaurant.

The Magical Misadventures of Prunella Bogthistle
Reviewed for Fourth Grade, 2010
Fiery Prunella is not your average bog-witch: she doesn't have a single wart, and most of her spells go awry. But what really sets her apart is that deep down, Prunella has a heart of gold. When a dapper young Uplander strays into her aunt's deadly zucchini patch, Prunella can't resist helping him escape, and gets thrown out of the family bog as a result. Together with her new companion, wily thief Barnaby Bagby, Prunella sets off on a quest to restore the Uplands to its former glory.
What follows is a tale full of heart-racing adventure, daring feats of courage, and plenty of magical and menacing creatures. More than your average fantasy, this book stands above others of its kind with witty dialogue, interesting characters, and rich themes of acceptance and self-discovery. A swift, engaging read for boys and girls alike. (Henry Holt & Co, $14.03)

American Forces Press Service
EAGLE BASE, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Feb. 1, 2005 U.S. Army troops aren't the only American assets pulling out of the Balkans. The installation facilities are literally being "pulled out" as well and sent to Iraq to be used in the global war on terror.
As troops pull out of the Balkans, some Army bases, such as Camp Comanche, are left standing empty. After the Army declares the bases excess, contractor Kellogg Brown & Root Services begins dismantling the buildings. This is the time for harvesting materials that can be reused either in the Balkans, the European theater or elsewhere.
KBRS representatives work with Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service staff to effectively re-use as much material as possible. DRMS is a field activity of the Defense Logistics Agency.
Host-nation agreements in the Balkans require that land be left in the same condition as it was before use by the U.S. military, which means that all base infrastructure must be removed and the land cleared. KBRS tears down the remaining infrastructure and salvages as much as possible. Anything that can be re-used is called "harvested" material. The rest is sold as scrap or is disposed of properly as waste.
KBRS representatives have worked for several years in conjunction with Arthur Welsh, the DRMS sales contracting officer in Wiesbaden, Germany, to sell the excess, harvested, recyclable materials. Notice about the materials is provided through an invitation for bid, reviewed by the SCO for compliance to all applicable regulations. The sale is conducted by the sealed-bid method.
Evan Skidmore, the KBRS excess property manager at Boyington Field, Bosnia, has been harvesting materials for several years. The harvested materials are in good condition and can be shipped to other locations, replacing or supplanting orders for new materials. The materials are issued free of charge, which saves the customer the cost of buying new items.
Many times the shipping costs are lower as well, since the materials are already in the theater or much closer to where they're needed and don't have to be shipped from the states. The amount saved is called "cost avoidance," because the used materials help avoid the costs of purchasing new materials. The cost avoidance figure for Boyington Field is approaching $5 million, according to Skidmore.
"The harvesting program is just another way DLA is supporting the warfighter with innovative ways to reduce the cost of war without sacrificing the quality of materials used to conduct the war," said David Porter, the DLA area manager for the Balkans Region.
In September, Skidmore contacted Porter about a large quantity of concertina wire available for harvesting. Porter passed word about the wire to Calvin Bright, working on a DLA contingency support team in Camp Victory South, Iraq. Bright is a material management specialist with the Defense Logistics Information Service, another DLA field activity, collocated with DRMS in Battle Creek, Mich.
Bright was able to find customers in Iraq who already had requisitions in for new concertina wire from the states and were glad to accept the used wire for only the minimal shipping costs. Bright knew from his deployment at Camp Victory how desperately the wire is needed for troop protection.
"If it wasn't for this cooperation between David, Evan and me, this transfer of equipment would not have been possible and the units here in Iraq might still be trying to requisition this material," Bright said. "Plus, this will provide a savings of just under a half million dollars, and that's a better use of taxpayer dollars."
In October and November, 10 containers of concertina wire, about 3,200 rolls, were shipped to Iraq. In December, another 10 containers with 2,600 rolls of wire and 5,400 metal posts were also shipped to Iraq. The total cost avoidance for the wire and posts is estimated at $412,362, almost 10 percent of all savings to date.
To Porter, it's all about being a team player. "Working with the soldiers here in the field gives me a new sense of personal involvement and patriotism. I cannot go after the terrorists myself, but I can help make those who pursue the terrorists more effective and their lives safer through DLA's products and initiatives," he said. "And I cannot do my job without the advice and support of hundreds of hardworking DLA professionals. It is profoundly satisfying to be the one face of DLA to the customer here in the Balkans region."
DRMS provides Defense Department activities worldwide with reuse, recycling and disposal solutions focusing on efficiency, cost avoidance and environmental compliance. In fiscal 2004, DRMS reutilized, transferred or donated more than $1.7 billion worth of military excess property.
DLIS creates, obtains, manages and integrates data from several sources. It shares this data through user-friendly products and services that support logistics operations throughout the Defense Department, other federal agencies and elements of the private sector. DLIS's expertise in cataloging and information management makes it an important contributor to electronic commerce between the government and its many suppliers.
DLA provides supply support, and technical and logistics services to the U.S. military services and several federal civilian agencies. With headquarters at Fort Belvoir, Va., the agency is the one source for nearly every consumable item, whether for combat readiness, emergency preparedness or day-to-day operations.

Obama Administration Backs Organ Mountains Bill
By KRWG News
Las Cruces – The Obama administration has thrown its backing behind a bill that would protect the Organ Mountains east of Las Cruces and other scenic areas in Dona Ana County.
A Bureau of Land Management official expressed the administration's support for the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks Wilderness Act during testimony at a U.S. Senate hearing on Thursday.
New Mexico Sens. Jeff Bingaman and Tom Udall introduced the bill last month. It would create a 259,000-acre wilderness area and a 100,000-acre conservation area.
They say the bill would allow continued public use while protecting the Organ Mountains' granite peaks and the volcanic cinder cones of the Potrillo Mountains.

The Mediterranean diet is known to be one of the healthiest around so there is good reason to have a food pyramid based on it. The Mediterranean Diet Pyramid, like the Healthy Eating Food Pyramid has at its base physical activity. This food pyramid has undergone some changes and the new, improved version will become available in 2009. The second largest portion of this 10-tiered food pyramid is the starches; here there are staples such as grains, pasta, bread and potatoes. The third level groups all plant-based food, vegetables, fruits and protein from plants such as peas and legumes, unlike other food pyramids. This is followed by olive oil, which is an important ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine. Diary products such as cheese and yogurt round out the food sources that should be consumed daily. The next four levels are recommended for weekly rather than daily consumption. These are fish, poultry, eggs and sweets in order of significance. The tip of the pyramid has red meat and recommends that it be had just once per month. Also included is wine in moderation. The daily beverage of choice according to the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid is water. The diet suggests that at least six glasses of water be had on a daily basis. Like most of the diet pyramids there is also a Mediterranean Diet Pyramid for children.
The new Mediterranean Diet Pyramid has been reduced from 10 tiers to five. Exercise remains as the first item on the base. It incorporates starches, plant-based foods such as fruits and vegetables, olive oil and herbs and spices into the second level on the pyramid. It also recommends that fish and seafood should be consumed at least twice per week. Next on the pyramid is poultry, eggs and diary products (cheese and yogurt). Red meat and sweets are at the small tip and the recommendation is that they should be consumed sparingly.
The Mediterranean diet is not only a weight loss and maintenance diet, it's also one of the healthiest ways of eating in the world. It's better to use the term: "Mediterranean cuisine" as it is the traditional eating lifestyle of the Mediterranean people.

Isles' last chance to topple a 'name'
Squad travels to Indiana to face Purdue tonight
The feeling is not the sense of urgency that, for example, a conference tournament might bring. But, the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi men's basketball team knows time is running out.
There's one more chance - tonight at 6 - for the Islanders to topple a name team, a team that is a major player in a power conference. A&M-Corpus Christi had four so-called elite teams circled on the calendar during non-conference play. The Big Ten's Purdue, which hosts the Islanders tonight, is the final one left.
The first two - Oklahoma State and Mississippi State - were brutal blowouts where A&M-Corpus Christi appeared to be the hapless patsy to the Big 12 and SEC schools.
"When we played those two schools, we didn't answer the bell," Islanders coach Ronnie Arrow said.
The most recent A&M-Corpus Christi opportunity, against one-time national champion UNLV, slipped away during a brief span at the end of the first half when, depending on perspective, fouls or the officials' whistles dictated the outcome.
Granted, during the UNLV tournament, the Islanders beat Big East team South Florida. But the Bulls are a recent arrival to the conference, a team that won only one Big East game last season and a team A&M-Corpus Christi beat last year.
Right now, beating USF does not carry the same cache as beating Oklahoma State, Mississippi State or UNLV. Like defeating TCU last season, it almost was expected of the Islanders.
"This is our last chance," said A&M-Corpus Christi senior wing Josh Washington. "We want to get a win against a team from a big conference and go into the Southland with a lot of confidence."
The Islanders will have mid-major force Kent State as its last tune-up before Southland play starts Jan. 6. A victory over Kent State would be impressive for the resume.
But Purdue is different. The team usually is involved in the Big Ten race, despite a slump the past few seasons. But this season, the Boilermakers started popping up as a vote-getter in the national polls with a 9-2 start and resemble more the Purdue of old rather than the newer, unimproved versions.
The Boilermakers are looking to start 10-2 for the first time in 11 seasons, and can maintain a perfect home record with a victory.
Despite the loss to UNLV, the three-day tournament was good for A&M-Corpus Christi. With two neutral-site victories, the Islanders feel they have shaken free of the lame road showings against Oklahoma State and Mississippi State.
"I actually told my team that we took a step back on that one road trip," A&M-Corpus Christi senior guard Josh Ervin said. "This (UNLV) tournament was a stepping stone, and it helped us."
The one drawback is that the Islanders have been on the road for a long time. They left a week ago for Las Vegas, had various flights delayed, spent four days enjoying the city and now have been in Indiana for two more days.
That can wear down a team, though Washington said it won't show tonight.
"It's so close to the finish line, we've got to pick it up and rest (later)," he said.

It should be the same as FreeBSD - you can install from the ports. Or from
dfports, if an override exists. Install the port for XFree86-4, then kde3. The two caveats I can think of:
- XFree86 may have dependencies that won't install automatically. I've read other folks reporting a need to do a 'make install' directly in the depended-on port's directory to get it to work.
- KDE 3 may not build; it's big, and I think kde-base should work but I don't know if the other parts will. There's only one way to find out: build it.

The Foxfield Four with Opening Act: Rebel Tongue
|May 30, 2012
|8:00 pm
Formerly the David James Band, The Foxfield Four is a high energy piano-driven quartet of talented musicians and singers who play a unique blend of pop, jazz, rock and soul in the tradition of Ben Folds and Jerry Lee Lewis. Along with their critically acclaimed original music, the band covers hit songs by such iconic artists as Elton John and Billy Joel, as well as ones by John Mayer and Jamie Cullum. Their repertoire runs the gamut from soft and melodic songs to rock 'n roll and their concerts include humor and rousing instrumental solos.
After earning a degree in classical piano, David James and his brother Preston teamed up with two like-minded Denverites, Wes Barton and Justin Francoeur. The talented musicians of the band are constantly writing and recording new material as part of their quest for what they call, "pop music rehabilitation."
What the Critics Say about Foxfield Four:
"Ultimately, James…has a knack for crafting bubbly pop-rock tunes that are catchy as hell." ~WESTWORD
"Fresh piano-based pop with lush melodies." ~Pop Geek Heaven
"…one of Denver's finest intimate acts." ~The Scoop 303
Strong review from the Colorado Music and Radio Blog:
"Count this one as among my picks for best self-written, arranged, and produced records of 2011 so far …. strong strong writing and arranging skills."

Of all the government agencies, NASA is among the hardest hit by the government shutdown. As of Oct. 1, nearly all of its employees have been told to pack up and head home.
But there are two NASA workers who can't leave the office, at least not without great expense to the taxpayer. Astronauts Karen Nyberg and Mike Hopkins are orbiting some 250 miles above Earth aboard the International Space Station. They're in touch with mission control, but it's not clear they have all that much to do.
Intriguingly, while nearly all of NASA's Twitter feeds are offline, Nyberg and Hopkins have both tweeted since the shutdown began. And their tweets hint that they might be just a weensy bit bored:
Have you ever watched the clouds go by & let your imagination see different shapes? It works from space as well. pic.twitter.com/LpEJHmGGpv
Say cheese! pic.twitter.com/ShjsvD0QCj
1st pic of day. I messed up & hit button while grabbing the camera, but I thought it turned out to be a neat shot pic.twitter.com/tePOEt2Zne
Neither astronaut immediately responded to an NPR reporter's tweet, asking them whether they were among the furloughed NASA employees.

Granger not ready to return to game action
Danny Granger is excited to play again. That we know. But when he might make his season debut continues to be a fluid situation. Following his first full practice on Thursday, Granger said that he doesn't think he will play on Friday when the Pacers host the Charlotte Bobcats.
"I don't like where I'm at with my timing and my rhythm and obviously my conditioning," he said. "…I don't feel like I'm ready yet. I dribbled the ball off my foot a couple times and just things when you haven't played. Lost the ball in transition on a pass. My rhythm isn't there yet.
"By all means, I could physically play, easily. Like I said, it's more of a rhythm thing. When you're playing at those type of speeds, you have to do it for a while to get used to doing it again."
"I think we're excited about it but I don't think we're overly eager," said coach Frank Vogel. "I think we're excited what Danny is going to bring to this team. He's going to strengthen everything we're doing. We just have to be smart about it and make sure it's the right time, and make sure he's ready."
Pacers center Roy Hibbert is looking forward to having No. 33 back on the floor, but he has clearly become irritated with the situation. He wants the focus to be on the product on the floor, and their 19-3 record.
"I'd love to have him back and see what he can give us," Hibbert said. "But I'm seriously tired of hearing all the stuff, 'When Danny gets back, Danny gets back.' We've been working, and we've been rolling."
With a swarm of national media on hand Tuesday for their first meeting of the season against Miami, Granger told reporters that there was a "very good chance," that he'd play Friday.
Granger, who missed all but five games last season and has yet to contribute to the Pacers' 19-3 start, is day-to-day. Last season it was a knee issue, which likely contributed to a calf strain that he suffered in the preseason. The good news is that Granger has practiced three straight days.
"I am healthy now," he said. "It's just a matter of getting my rhythm back. It's not a frustrating thing. We're winning and we're having a great season. Yeah, I want to play soon, but I can't go out there and play and be making all these crazy mistakes because I haven't played in a while."
"I've always been able to shoot the ball," said Granger, a 38 percent 3-point shooter over his eight-year career. "It's a big difference just shooting, and then running up and down the court four times and then stepping into a jump shot. That's what you have to condition your body for."
So what's it ultimately going to take?
"I think it's going to be a conversation between me and Frank," said Granger. "When I tell him, 'Look, I'm feeling good,' and obviously he has to see me playing well, and then we'll talk about it.
"I'm not going to get on the court until I'm ready. … I know right now I'm not ready yet, mentally and [with] my game — not physically."

Good Idea: Star Wars Wedding. Bad Idea: Star Wars Divorce.
(Zach Weinersmith/SMBC Comics)
Oh, sure, your geeky wedding is fun and cute. But you've got to realize that when you get married, you're locking yourself into a system. Say your wedding vows in Elfish, if you like. But be aware that may have to one day compose a divorce petition in that same language and go through the court system of a species that is ageless.
By the way: Zach Weinersmith's comics have a neat hidden feature. At the bottom of a comic, you'll see a bar that looks like this:

Too bad nothing like it will ever come back. BUT, here is an hour-long (all 3 parts) interview and clips with some of the people from Animaniacs by Doug Walker aka the Nostalgia Critic. It's full of anecdotes, and a blast to watch. :)
I miss that show.
May divorce be with you?
Reminds me of the good ol' Animaniacs segments :D

What show could turn a man from this…
…to this…
Welcome to Tool Academy 3, where Tools are reformed, manhoods are threatened, and dudes are really, really surprised.
By now you know how it goes: a dozen or so douchebags, cheaters, and clueless egomaniacs get ambushed into attending the Tool Academy, where they learn to behave themselves, stop cheating on their partners, and be better humans with the help of therapist Trina Dolenz and their long-suffering girlfriends.
The same old thing, yet totally different, because this semester's class of Tools included two women: One straight couple (Kyle and Jennavecia) whose female half loved sleeping around, and one lesbian couple (Courtney and Cheron) whose Tool half made a sport out of poaching other people's girlfriends.
This single change in the Tool Academy rulebook was more than a gimmick, it really revealed whole new ways in which our Tools are insecure. The first episode alone revealed that:
– Jennavecia became a "slut."
The thing is, she started out "hot." As on seasons past, the Tools didn't know at the beginning that they've been signed up for Tool Academy. And before this surprise, the male Tools had no problem touching (and squeezing and groping) Jennavecia, and telling the camera how hot she was. Until they found out what show they were on.
Suddenly Jennavecia was damaged goods to the guys. Or, more bluntly, was a "whore" according to Jacob, who'd be pretty friendly to her before (even doing push-ups with her on top of him in Cancun). The guys ganged up on Jennavecia and made her move her bed so that she couldn't sleep next to them. "Jennavecia is a slut. I feel like if I let my guard down, she'd be all over me," Jacob says.
Later in the episode, Jacob confessed to cheating on his girlfriend. Maybe that wasn't his fault either. The excuse was as old as Adam and Eve. But in upcoming episodes, they will probably address this double standard. I mean, is there even a widely-used pejorative term for man who sleeps around? "Man-whore" doesn't cut it — dudes wear that as a badge of pride.
– Jennavecia's boyfriend became the enemy.
The Tools also turned against Jennavecia's quiet boyfriend right away. Why? He was good looking, kind, and sleeping in a bedroom with their girlfriends, who have made it clear that they're ready to leave their boyfriends if they don't change.
It might even change the way the challenges go on from here. For instance, the premiere episode's communication challenge was to have the partners pull apart a doghouse with a box full of tools, with their Tools giving them verbal instructions. This challenge was created so that the Tools' girlfriends, who–the show assumes–don't know much about using tools, will have to struggle to finish. But with Kyle in the competition, their team won easily.
– And he became a cuckold.
This first episode was all about the difference between how the Tools saw themselves, and how the world/their girlfriends saw them. For example, Kyle, the lone male in the other room, must be, according to the guys' logic, an idiot for staying with his cheating partner (Jacob called him "slime"). But Jacob never questioned why his girlfriend would stay with him, knowing what a Tool he was. And there's a widely-used word for this: the cuckold.
– Courtney became an outcast.
Courtney is the Tool Academy's lesbian Tool and her favorite hobby was stealing guys' girlfriends, because, as she said, she's most attracted to straight women. So here's something else to boggle the Tools' minds: she was a lesbian, her girlfriend was a lesbian, and neither one was just in need of a good man to turn them straight.
So even though she had much in common with them, she was alone in the house right from the beginning, where her bed seemed isolated.
– Chaysn became a drop-out.
This semester of Tool Academy had another first: it was the first time a Tool had left the Academy on his own. And while the guy was, as far as his ego went, the first among equals, something told me it wasn't just the idea of Tool Academy that turned him off.
Toward the end of the episode, the show's dropout, Chasyn, was challenged to a wrestling match by the show's lone lesbian Tool, Courtney. Courtney easily pined Chasyn (he's a semi-pro wrestler), who left both the show and his girlfriend behind just a little bit later. It was only after that we got to see him wrestling other Tools and losing. But it seemed like he didn't get upset until he got pinned…by a girl.
Some other things I noticed:
– Tommy really wanted you to know he's a good guy.
But he was subtle. Check out his prominent "Stay true" tattoo on display as he lies about his relationship status.
And later he wore rosary beads to therapy.
– The fast breakdown on Tool Academy.
Angelo realized his girlfriend must love him if she brought him to Tool Academy and he instantly broke down. It seemed so fast, but probably happened after three hours of off-camera therapy.
Daniel was this episode's "Glow stick Tool." He may not have muscles like most of the other Tools, but his glowsticking skills were really impressive. Which was too bad. Like, if Daniel was the world's top skier, or the world's top runner, then he'd be "driven" instead of a "Tool." But because he's the world's best at this, he's on Tool Academy, instead of Peak Season: Vancouver.

Earlier this month, we had had the distinguished pleasure of celebrating GoGrid's international expansion to EMEA by hosting a party with Equinix in Amsterdam. Europe has been more than hospitable to our new European team, and this event was no exception.
This was my 4th visit to our Amsterdam HQ and data center and I'm truly excited to see the traction within the European community and the adoption by those European companies seeing value in multiple global points of presences.
The location of the event was at a converted auto shop which is now a cool new restaurant and lounge, it still had some stylish remnants of its past – including an actual Ferrari in the center of the room! This venue turned out to be the ideal location for our welcoming party.
The turnout to the event was great. GoGrid received a warm welcome from over 100 different partners and customers as well as some of the top international companies who also have expanded to Europe. Having a casual atmosphere in which to discuss technology services, the importance and adoption of cloud computing within Europe and the direction it is going globally definitely set the stage for some powerful conversations.
But, it wouldn't have been a party if we didn't have a guest speaker. Comedian, Greg Shapiro, was perfect for the event. Shapiro is also from the US but now makes a living in the Netherlands. His antics and insights on transitioning cultures made for a fun and enjoyable evening. Greg Shapiro is top notch and we highly recommend him to anybody looking for a sharp speaker who understands both a US and European audience.
With two large TV screens displaying pictures and words to illustrate the differences in cultures and languages, Shapiro kept the audience engaged while balancing cultural and language nuances.
It's important for me to see the results of our hard work over the past year developing not only an EMEA HQ but also firmly establishing a cloud data center presence. As our global reach continues to expand, I hope to meet more of our overseas customers and get to know how they are utilizing our cloud services.

I Wish You Love (November 18 - December 18, 2011)
A Special Presentation at Penumbra
I Wish You Love by Dominic Taylor
Back by popular demand!
In 1957, Americans were falling in love to the sweet sounds of Nat "King" Cole. His carefully manicured image distracted an entire generation of white viewers from the reality of racial violence raging in the streets. Still, Cole believed that with enough talent and persistence he would be judged on the content of his character as opposed to the color of his skin. Join us for this return engagement-an intimate portrait of one man, his music, and the dreams of a nation.
Note: This special presentation is not offered in the season ticket package.
Single tickets for I Wish You Love are on sale now through the Penumbra Theatre Box Office at 651-224-3180 or Tickets.

T-M takes sloppy victory
Warriors post Lemons drops double-double
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, which didn't really make either Tuloso-Midway boys basketball coach Bobby Craig or Miller coach Dwight Whittington very merry Thursday night.
The Warriors and Bucs may have been looking forward to the upcoming holiday break, and it showed in spurts, as the teams combined for 31 turnovers during Thursday's non-district game.
When the occasional sloppy play subsided, T-M withstood its 16 miscues to hold off Miller, 64-53 at Miller High School.
"We outscored them tonight and that's about it," Warriors coach Bobby Craig said. "I'm just frustrated because you're supposed to be playing your best basketball going into district (play) - not playing every game like it's just another (non-district) game."
"Our biggest problem is that we have no post game inside right now," Bucs coach Dwight Whittington said. "The kids are playing hard and we're not making nearly as many mistakes as we were (earlier in the season) - we just have to (play better) by the time district starts (Jan. 12 at Moody)."
Tuloso-Midway senior post Joel Lemons tallied 12 of his game-high 24 points in the first half and finished with 14 rebounds for a double-double.
Senior point guard Chad Terrell scored 10 of his 14 points in the Warriors' decisive second quarter, while T-M senior post Drew Trevino added nine of his 13 points in the second half.
Forward Corey Beasley scored 10 of his team-high 17 points in the second half for the Bucs, while guard Robert McGee also poured in 16 points for Miller (5-8 overall), which has dropped six straight games.
The Warriors (10-5) overcame a six point first-half deficit with a 19-7 second-quarter run to take a 31-25 lead into the half.
Terrell started the T-M spurt with back-to-back 3-pointers, and he later capped the run with a 3-point play. Terrell scored 10 points during the run, while Lemons added four points and guard Phillip Belford and forward Rodney Darrington combined for the other five points.
The Warriors built a 41-31 lead late in the third quarter on senior post Michael Fisher's put back, before a free throw by Bucs guard Roland Torres sparked a 6-2 Miller run - as McGee had the other five points during the spurt - to pull within 43-37.
T-M junior forward Alex Benavides countered with a 3-pointer with 17 seconds remaining in the frame to push the Warriors' lead back to nine.
The Bucs later used a 4-0 run - thanks to two free throws by guard Drexel Smith and a bucket in the lane by Beasley - to climb within 48-43, before Trevino scored another inside basket to help the Warriors finish the game with a 16-10 run to put it away.

This invention relates to laser systems and in particular to Lasers used in the medical field.
Safety when using or being exposed to lasers is a very important consideration International Standards exist with regards to the classification of laser devices and the way in which different classes of laser can be used. Those laser devices that conform to the laser safety Class I definition (ie IEC825-1, AS2211) are considered the safest.
Laser emitting devices that do not fall within the Class I definition require the device and the user, and in medical applications the patient to use or be subject to one or more of the following: use of safety spectacles, interlock systems, warning lights, etc.
Laser emitting devices have a wide range of wavelength, energy and pulse characteristics and the classification system is a guide as to the way in which each device having one or more of those characteristics can be used and by whom the device can be used.
A Class I laser-emitting device can be used without restriction but in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions for the purpose for which it was designed. This means that special training and additional safety equipment is not required. Thus operating costs are less when compared to the attendant operating costs of other classes of laser-emitting devices.
A major consideration when designing laser-emitting devices is the amount of power that the source laser in the device is required to emit so as to provide adequate laser emission power from the laser device. One of the determinants of this characteristic is the required power density to be delivered at the application site over a desired area.
As the area required to be treated increases for a required power density so does the power of the source laser needed to support that requirement.
Apart from the power, pulse parameters and wavelength of the laser, another of the critical features in specifying the class of the laser is the apparent aperture of the laser source. The apparent aperture will determine the image size that the laser source can form for example on the retina of an inadvertent observer.
The requirement described above is sometimes referred to as the apparent source and it is this characteristic that is used to determine the class of the laser emitting device.
Current laser device configurations are restricted somewhat by the physics of the devices used to generate the source laser. For diode laser sources, the emitting aperture (the area of the spot beam) of the laser radiation is typically 7×1 microns for a 904 nanometer Gallium Arsenide (Ga—As) laser diode. These devices typically have pulsed outputs with 1 and 5 Watt peak powers with the pulse repetition and duration being variable to suit the application. There are many other laser diode configurations, the device type described above is an example of such devices.
In some applications it is desired to not only provide the laser radiation over a larger area but also to control the power density thus requiring an adequately high power laser source.
It is an aim of the invention described herein to provide a laser emitting device that meets not only a desired power density and spot area requirement, but that meets Class I requirements thus providing long term minimization of the running costs of the device.
Accordingly the present invention provides a device for a medical diagnostic or therapeutic purpose, said device including:
Preferably the homogenising means further modifies a spot size of said laser beam.
Preferably the apparent source size of said laser beam is greater than that required as a minimum condition for classification of said device as a Class I laser.
Preferably the homogenizing means includes an optical homogeniser.
Preferably the optical homogeniser includes a microlens array.
Optionally the optical homogeniser includes a holographic diffuser.
Preferably the device further includes positioning means for positioning said device at a predetermined distance and orientation from a surface according to a requirement of said medical purpose.
Specific embodiments of the invention will now be described in some further detail with reference to and as illustrated in the accompanying figures. These embodiments are illustrative, and not meant to be restrictive of the scope of the invention. Suggestions and descriptions of other embodiments may be included within the scope of the invention but they may not be illustrated in the accompanying figures or alternatively features of the invention may be shown in the figures but not described in the specification.
Although a particular medical application is described herein and a particular laser emitting device configuration is also described, it should be understood that these details are illustrative only and not meant to be limiting in any way upon the application or configuration of the principle of the invention.
In the medical field, low power level laser radiation is known to have beneficial medical effects in some disease and restorative therapies.
One example is the treatment of lymphoedema other examples include use of low level laser therapy to induce a photochemical reaction (non-heating) which is used in the treatment of conditions like tendonitis and other soft tissue injuries, wound healing and pain relief.
Clearly, the frequency, power level (continuously on or modulated on/off duty cycle of the radiation at the same or changing levels) and characteristics of the laser are determined by the nature of the treatment outcome desired by a clinician.
The area of effective laser irradiation on the relevant tissue or organ of the patient is a matter of design and specification by the clinician.
Laser source emitting 600-1000 nanometers wavelength at 1 mW to 1 W power can be used. Such devices are usually class IIIB but by using the invention described herein will become Class 1.
In a preferred arrangement the laser source is a Galium Arsenide Laser diode having an emitting aperture of 7×1 microns of 904 nanometer wavelength having 5-Watts peak power. In a lymphoedema application such as depicted in
As shown in
There is exists a slight divergence of the laser beam which is factored into the design, the amount of divergence being directly proportional to the distance between the output aperture of the laser diode and the patient's treatment site.
The invention includes the use of an optical homogeniser such as for example a CORNING™ high performance microlens array. A specification of its characteristics includes that it is made from either fused silica, silicon or polymer-on-silica. It has a center to center spacing tolerance of less than 1 micrometer and a total run-out over 50 mm of less than 7 micrometers. It has a maximum array size of 50 mm by 50 mm, a maximum substrate diameter of 150 mm and minimum substrate thickness of 400 micrometers.
Characteristics of the microlens are as follows. It can be spherical or aspherical and is designed with a polymer surface irregularity less than one quarter of a wavelength at 633 nanometers. For the silicon oxide (SiO2) variety at least 97% of the lens surface has a surface irregularity of less than one half of a wavelength at 633 nanometers.
The focal length for a microlens can be designed to vary between 1.5 mm and 6.0 mm at wavelengths greater than or equal to 200 micrometers. The focal length tolerance in air for a polymer microlens is plus or minus 10 micrometers within the array and plus or minus 25 micrometers when measured array to array. For a SiO2 array the focal length tolerance in air is plus or minus 50 micrometers within the array and plus or minus 50 micrometers when measured array to array.
Clear aperture dimension is less than or equal to 1.3 mm and surface roughness is less than 100 Angstroms A° (Ra). The operating temperature is permitted to be between 0 and 70° C.
The surface relief diffuser version of the microlens array is used in preferred arrangements that are designed to spread light in a predetermined gain distribution Both symmetric and asymmetric surface relief diffusers can be used dependent on the application. This is not the only type of homogeniser that can be used, there are other fabrication techniques such as holographic diffusers. The important aspect is that the homogeniser acts like a near perfect diffuser thus causing the apparent aperture to be the homogeniser not the aperture of the emitting device.
In the subject application the apparent aperture of the source laser device is made uniformly larger to the order of 6 mm2.
The preferred distance between the laser source aperture and the optical homogeniser is 5 mm. This accounts for the divergence of the source laser beam and as a result the apparent aperture and power distribution is such that the full device falls well within Class I limits.
Having the arrangement described allows for the power output of the source laser to be increased allowing the ideal required power distribution to be homogeneously distributed over a much greater area than would otherwise be the case. This in turn allows the total Laser-radiating device to remain within the Class I laser classification. This ultimately reduces cost to the patient.
A larger area can be treated at the same time, thus reducing treatment time and complexity of movement This further benefits the patient, as the period of potential discomfort is minimized.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the invention is not restricted in its use to the particular application described. Neither is the present invention restricted in its preferred embodiment with regard to the particular elements and/or features described or depicted herein. It will be appreciated that various modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the invention. Therefore, the invention should be understood to include all such modifications within its scope.
