Remember George Clooney's ex-girlfriend Sarah Larson? Of course you do. She's so famous, you don't even associate her with the Cloonster anymore! She's her own person! Her own brand! Famous for…oh, right – for f*cking George Clooney. But that didn't stop Sarah from requesting that George's name be removed from promo material pimping her appearance at Las Vegas club Tao last week.
"Sarah feels she is famous enough now," a source reported. "She doesn't want to be regarded as some famous guy's ex." So friends, from now on regard her as who she really is: A cocktail waitress who appeared on Fear Factor.

Errr, can we get a "too soon?" Just a few short months after Whitney Houston's untimely death, the diva's daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown has just inked a deal with Lifetime television to star in a new reality series, The Houston Family Chronicles. According to TMZ, the show will also feature Whitney's sister-in-law/manager Pat Houston, Pat's daughter Rayah, Whitney's brother Gary, and their mother Cissy. It's rumored that Whitney's famous cousin Dionne Warwick will also be making an appearance.
"In this series, the multi-generations of the Houston family will bravely reveal their lives as they bond together to heal, love, and grow," said Lifetime EVP Rob Sharenow in a statement. The ten hour-long episodes will follow Pat and Gary "as they take on their greatest challenge, supporting and guiding Bobbi Kristina as she faces the world alone, without the one person she relied on the most, her mother." We can't help but feel like it sounds like an exploitative cash-in to us. Or at least some long forgotten episode of Masterpiece Theater. No word on when The Houston Family Chronicles is set to premiere, but do you think you'll be tuning in? Let us know in the comments section!

UT Hockey Heats Up the Ice
Published: Oct 22, 2010
The chill of the hockey rink contrasted sharply with the 80 degree weather outside on a recent morning. It didn't seem to bother the UT hockey team, whose dense pads – and the constant skating, racing from one end of the rink to the other during a recent scrimmage – kept them sweating.
The team has enjoyed the start of its inaugural season, thanks to the work of Leif Benner '12.
"I knew a lot of guys who wanted to play, so I thought I'd start a team," said Benner, the team captain.
After about a year of paperwork, securing a coach and becoming a member of the American College Hockey Association as a Division III team, Benner said the effort was worth it.
"I'm excited to be on the ice," said Benner, a psychology major.
Of the 26 guys (and one woman) on the team, all have played high school hockey, were involved with travel teams or currently play in local men's leagues. Benner said he wasn't sure what kind of talent he'd find at UT, but he's been pleasantly surprised. Like Benner, who is from Chicago, the majority are from northern states where hockey is imbedded in the culture.
Mark Baccoli '12, an exercise science major, is from Rochester, NY, where he grew up on the ice. When he came to UT, he joined the roller hockey club, until his academic schedule made it impossible to continue. When he heard the ice hockey team was forming, he jumped at the chance.
"I didn't anticipate getting to play hockey when I came to college, and it was one of the things I missed most," said Baccoli, a goalie.
Axel Aspeborg '14 grew up in Sweden and attended high school in Spain. He came to UT with the intention of majoring in communication. He writes for a Swedish sports website, so he chose a university in a city with a National Hockey League team. Aspeborg has changed his major to sport management, but he created the UT
team's website
. Having skated since he was 3, Aspeborg is happy to be back on the ice.
"It's turned out, I love the intensity and the fact that you don't have to be the biggest guy to be good," said Aspeborg. "It's about how you see the ice."
Not all the teammates are from northern states. James Beckett '14, a graphic design major, is from Melbourne, FL, and played competitively until an injury sidelined him in high school.
"These guys are skating at a level I was at when I was playing competitively," Beckett said, "but their knowledge of the game is a lot better."
Dr. Stephen Kucera, an associate professor of biology, coaches the UT team with assistant coach Dr. Eric Sikorski, an assistant biology professor. They are joined by fitness coach Dr. Jacob Wilson, a UT assistant professor of exercise science and sports studies, who also works with the Tampa Bay Lightning on the fitness assessment and conditioning program for their players. Anthony Graniero, a University of South Florida Ice Bulls alumnus, is the goalie coach.
Aside from years of playing competitively, including on a men's league he is active with now, Kucera has coached youth hockey and soccer. He leads a carpool across town twice a week to get to the 7:45 a.m. practices at the Tampa Bay Skating Academy in Oldsmar.
Even though they leave before the sun rises, Kucera said the guys are never late. For them – when an 8 a.m. chemistry class can be a challenge – getting up at dawn is nothing. They'd do anything to skate.
It isn't long after they arrive and dress in their layers of gear that they guys are out on the ice. It's a whirlwind of movement and sound, from the skates cutting through the ice or turning sharp corners to the smacking of their sticks against the puck and of the puck against the plexiglass walls. Hockey is a full-contact sport, and the occasional thud of a body being slammed into a corner can almost be felt by onlookers.
"It's the greatest game in the world," said Ricky Duddy '14. "You've got to have skill to play, and it's a lot of fun."
The team's first game is Nov. 12 at 9:30 p.m. at the Tampa Bay Skating Academy. The team plays the Florida Institute of Technology. For more information, e-mail Kucera at

Sonia Kashuk Starry Eyes Eye Palette Review, Photos, Swatches
Holiday Makeup: Subtle Glam?
Sonia Kashuk Starry Eyes Eye Palette ($14.99) is a mix of six eyeshadows–three glittery, three matte–for the holiday season.
My favorite part about this palette is the outside casing — it's this shimmery, sequin-y black case that sparkles in the light. It's really stunning, and it's probably one of the best holiday-themed packaging jobs I've seen in awhile. Unfortunately, the inside of the palette, which is more important, just fell a little flat for me.
While I liked Sonia Kashuk's Showstopper Eyeshadow Quad, which had the same shimmery shadow texture, these colors just seem drab–muted. They're so muted and subtle and yet have so much shimmer, it seems contradictory. The texture is smooth, and they look wet when applied and have surprisingly little fall out (though there is some). For me, the colors don't jump out at me, so I'm just not excited over it.
Included in the palette are three glittery shades: a muted warm-toned medium-dark brown, a glitzy warmed up champagne gold, and a muted mauvey-brown, along with three matte shades: a cool-toned chocolate brown, a dusty white, and a plummy mauve. The matte shades didn't feel chalky or dusty, though they were a little sheerer than I'd like–overall, they felt smooth to the touch.
I did like how the shimmery shades were coordinated with the matte shades – almost like reflections of each other. I think I liked the actual shades of the matte colors more than the shimmery ones, though!
Bottom Line: This just isn't the palette for me, but it's still a quality palette. The shadows were smooth, had decent color pay off, and they're shades that can definitely be worn by many. Though they're muted and subtle (and inexplicably, it just didn't work for me in this palette–because I know I can appreciate a subtle color palette!), they would make for some more nuanced, less in-your-face holiday looks for sure.

Chances are that if you try to put pretty names for your default notebook in OneNote in the Office hub on your Windows Phone 7 device – Personal (Web) – and the default section – Unfiled Notes – you'd mess up the syncing with your Windows Live ID. At least, I did. More than once.
You'd mess up the syncing of your default notebook with the associated Windows Live ID if you move, rename, or delete it or any section of the same.
Result: Can't synchronise
Your phone doesn't have a connection to the server. Check your connection and try synchronising again.
Error Code = 80aa003a
Even if you want to start fresh now, you'd not be able to delete the erred notebook, with OneNote prompting you to set a section in some other notebook as default first (But there is no other notebook!) before you can delete this one.
Can't delete.
This notebook contains the section where default notes go.
Here's what you need to do a reset. Create a new notebook, set it up for sync, and remove the older, messed up one.
- Visit http://office.live.com on your PC and create the notebook (within the browser via Office Web App or OneNote installed on the PC) with your preferred name and structure. This is the one that you intend to set up as the default notebook.
- Once this is done, visit http://office.live.com on your phone. Navigate to the notebook we just created, and open it. It will open in OneNote Mobile.
- Within this notebook, set one of the sections as default.
Once these steps are done, you can delete the old/original notebook.

I am very excited because after months of waiting I have just had my Duolingo account enabled. Duolingo is a very unique language learning site.
To explain the history of Duolingo, I have to start somewhere you probably weren't expecting – captchas.
Captchas are the pictures of words that have become common on any websites that are susceptible to spam – be it signing up for a free email account or posting a comment on a blog. By translating from a picture to a word, you prove that you are human.
Luis von Ahn had an idea that would allow captchas to do something more interesting than just verify that you're a real person. He wanted to get you to do some work too.
Recaptcha asks you to write out two words. One of these is the usual captcha, that proves that you're human but the other is a word that has been scanned in from a document and isn't clear enough for a computer to work out what it is. Recaptcha has transcribed over 440 million words. More information on recaptcha is available here.
Following on from the success of recaptcha, Luis von Ahn came up with a similar idea to harness the power of everyday internet users. Most of the internet is available only in English, which means that's it's not available for you if you don't speak English. Similarly there is lots of language specific content not available in English (or any other languages). Duolingo teaches you German or Spanish while utilising your skills to translate Spanish and German text into English. They plan to add French, Italian, and Chinese.
Duolingo is currently running a private beta (hence my wait to start learning) but they have just issued another 50,000 invitations this week so if you're interested – sign up now at www.duolingo.com.
There is a great TEDx video on the topic available here.

Northeast SARE Grantee-Produced Info Product
How-to-Guide for Aspiring Urban Micro-Agricultural Entrepreneurs
The How-to-Guide for Aspiring Urban Micro-Agricultural Entrepreneurs was created by Sustainable Urban Development for residents of West Philadelphia who want to increase their access to fresh, healthy and affordable food. The guide equips anyone interested in urban farming with the information they need to reclaim vacant lots in the city and build a for-profit urban farm.
The guide contains information on building raised beds and maintaining healthy soils; zoning, code and permit requirements for community gardens; and business and market planning. While the guide is based off of research in West Philadelphia, it is intended to be a replicable model for individuals in other urban areas.
The project team taught their program to community members in West Philadelphia's Haddington neighborhood over the course of three classes in one week. Watch video footage of each course:

differ from monographs in that a periodical subscription is an ongoing
financial commitment for the library. In addition, periodical
publishers charge higher prices for libraries than they do for
individuals. Taking into consideration the issue that periodicals
prices also increase at a rate that far exceeds such standard economic
indicators as the Consumer Price Index, great care must be taken to
make the best use of available financial resources.
It is
important that all requests for new periodical subscriptions be
examined carefully in relation to the educational mission and limited
financial resources of the Library.
In order to support the

Is it possible to use a Rapberry Pi?
22 Dec 2013, 18:10
Kenneth Whittaker (1 post)
My son is not allowed to have a full powered computer due to his school performance.
However, he can use a raspberry pi (not much fun for full featured games).
No Chrome on the pi, but "chromium"? Is there some guidance for using this book with the pi, or will it just not work? If not, any suggestions? This book looks like a fun way to learn… but I'm leery about giving my son his computer back.
24 Dec 2013, 19:55
Chris Strom (138 posts)
I have yet to test this on a Pi. The lowest powered machine that I have used is a low-end Chromebook which actually works fairly well.
I can only speculate, but I think it is safe to assume that the first half of the book would work fairly well on Chromium/Pi. Chapters 1-11 rely entirely on <canvas> tags for the graphics rather than WebGL. So even low-powered Chrome/Chromium machines should be OK. Some of the animations (and possibly the collision detection in chapters 10 & 11) might run slower than normal, but ought to be OK.
The fancier graphics in later chapters rely on WebGL, which is hit-or-miss on hardware. My guess is that it would not work on a Pi. Perhaps incentive to improve school performance?

The Magic Flute
Editorial Staff • West End • 30 Nov 2007
A Christmas Carol ((Ikrismas Kherol) and The Magic Flute (Impempe Yomlingo) come from the Baxter Theatre in Cape Town, directed by Mark Dornford-May for the newly formed Isango/Portobello company, led by the glorious opera singer Pauline Malefane as both Scrooge and the Queen of the Night.
Played on a bare, tilted stage and surrounded by a battery of marimbas and percussion instruments, both shows offer the spectacle of spiritual transformation through a series of revelations and adventures. In Scrooge's case, an insensitive gold mining boss is reawakened to her own tough past in a shanty town where she learned how to sing and survive. In the Mozart, Tamino rescues the Queen's daughter after falling in love with her picture.
These journeys through a cultural landscape, electrified by music and ritual, are an object lesson in how to create authentic, vibrant theatre from seemingly remote sources. The Dickens plays for an uninterrupted ninety minutes, the Mozart for two and a half hours, with little omitted from either story and, in the Mozart, astonishingly, very few notes. Tamino's magic flute is covered by a silver trumpet and Tiny Tim is a girl on crutches seeking signatures for her school sponsorship form.
Scrooge's past is evoked in a film that is dovetailed with the live singing. From the descent to the mine, thrillingly done in the dark pierced with lights and chants, to the appearance of a female Ghost of Christmas Present in a chic white suit, the story is re-imagined as a stern warning to remember your roots. The chorus of miners and townsfolk spill over the stage in a tidal wave that Scrooge, seen cutting a mean merger deal with the Fezziwigs' clothing business, can resist for only so long.
The various tests and trials in The Magic Flute culminate in the encounter with the high priest Sarastro, here played as a chieftain in white robes whose repertoire of low notes is magically shared among his tribal fraternity. This hinterland of spirits and comrades transforms Schikaneder's pantomimic libretto into a convincingly indigenous and beautiful fable.
The cast is simply and inspirationally superb, while much credit redounds on the musical input and popularising genius of artistic collaborator Charles Hazlewood, the lighting of Mannie Manim (director of the Baxter Theatre), the infectious choreography of Lungelo Ngamlana and the brilliant, colourful costumes of Annamarie Seegers.

This week I devote my column to a rant and a few reflections.
First the rant. Because we are low on letters to the editor, I thought I would say a few crass things about Rush Limbaugh. Usually, I ignore Mighty Mouth, but I know criticizing him will generate letters from some of his misguided fans.
Of course, Rush doesn't like to hear from his critics. In fact, he's so scared of being challenged on his illogical ravings that he hides from all who might disagree with him.
That was evident last week when Mighty Mouth was honored by Republicans at the Missouri Statehouse. Limbaugh was inducted into the Capitol's Hall of Famous Missourians in a closed-door ceremony that included only invited GOP dignitaries.
As one blogger described the event: "All but one of the doors to the House chamber were locked with armed Highway Patrol and Capitol Police patrolling the hallways outside the chamber."
I know Rush is thin skinned, but is he that much of a fraidy cat too? It's interesting to see a man who is such a bully behind the microphone (calling young women sluts and all) turn into a shrinking violet at an event that any taxpayer of Missouri should have been allowed to attend.
It remains to be seen where a bronze bust of Hall of Famer Limbaugh will be displayed. Republicans say it should be at the state Capitol Building. Democrats say it would be a travesty for Mighty Mouth's bust to join the company of Mark Twain and Harry Truman. I think it would be appropriate for Rush's likeness to grace a wastewater treatment plant in St. Louis.
And now a few reflections:
A loyal reader forwarded an email to me recently that claimed President Barack Obama is behind an elaborate plan to steal this year's presidential election. This plot — which the reader later informed me had been debunked on Snopes.com — also involves billionaire investor and Democratic contributor George Soros. The email incorrectly claims Obama has outsourced the counting of votes for the federal election to a company owned by Soros.
It's a ridiculous allegation on its face since a president can't outsource vote counting. That's because the conduct of elections, including the tallying of votes, is the sole responsibility of states.
This fake conspiracy, however, does sound like something Democrats were complaining about a few years back. Remember all the concern over Diebold voting machines? There were allegations that the CEO of Diebold was a large campaign contributor to President George W. Bush and had used his company to help steal the 2004 election for the Republican.
While no hard evidence of such voting fraud was ever produced, a study was released in 2006 by researchers at Princeton University who found the Diebold machines could indeed be tampered with in such a way as to rig an election.
n There is no doubt that Washington County Commissioner Mark Ferguson knows how to pick a fight. There is some question, however, if he knows when to pick a fight. He certainly has shown poor judgement in choosing with whom to pick a fight.
Last week, he went off on a reporter from the Jonesborough Herald & Tribune at a committee meeting that was supposed to be about something entirely different and much more important. Ferguson accused the newspaper of shilling for County Mayor Dan Eldridge, who is also someone Ferguson has repeatedly picked fights with.
I would call Ferguson's attention to something former Johnson City Commissioner P.C. Snapp used to say to his colleagues: "It's not wise to pick a fight with folks who buy their ink by the barrels."
Good advice.
I also think taxpayers would appreciate it if Ferguson would stick to the important business of the county and not use his committee as a platform to vent his frustrations with the local paper. That's not what Ferguson and the other members of the County Commission are being paid to do.
Obama's change of heart on gay marriage is being hailed as a historic moment by some and derided as the final sign of the Apocalypse by others.
In truth, Obama has finally come down on the right side of history. Future generations of Americans are going to wonder what all the fuss was about and probably criticize their grandparents for being such dunderheads on the issue.
This reality continues to elude some conservatives and the religious-minded (and they are found in both the Democratic and Republican parties) who still think it's OK for government to tell consenting adults who they can or can't marry.
North Carolina voters (or should I say those who cast votes in the Republican Primary) passed a state constitutional amendment two weeks ago to prohibit gay marriages and civil unions.
As was the case in Tennessee a few years back, Republican leaders in the General Assembly pushed to have the measure placed on a ballot even though state law already forbids gay marriage. Truthfully, this ballot initiative was nothing more than a ruse to gin up the Republican base.
Of course, there are enlightened Republicans who don't want to see their party linked to prejudice, bigotry and homophobia. They want to be on the right side of history, just as many of their grandparents were during the Civil Rights era.

Donald Trump: Miss Universe Suing Over Pageant Being Fixed
The Miss Universe organization launched an investigation after a contestant claimed that the pageant is fixed. In retaliation, Donald Trump said that he is planning to sue the woman behind the accusations.
Former Miss Pennsylvania Sheena Monnin dropped out of the Miss Universe competition yesterday. Monnin claimed that a fellow contestant saw a list with the top 5 contestants before they were announced.
Monnin said that the pageant is "fraudulent, lacking in morals, inconsistent, and in many ways trashy."
But Miss Universe owner Donald Trump told Today that Monnin's comments are "ridiculous," and the organization plans to sue her for her claims.
What we've authorized today is we're going to bring a lawsuit … She said some really strong things. When she's using the word 'fraud,' that's pretty strong, so we're going to be suing her on that basis.
A Miss Universe rep said that Monnin really resigned because she disagreed with the organization's decision to allow a transgender woman to compete.

I can see now why it appeals to the elitist type of MMO player. They don't like fun so much as being able to work out the mathematical calculation of what weapons, equipment and perks will deal the most damage if it's a full moon, they are standing on one leg, facing west etc. The fun part is in trying to understand why their exact calculations are not adding up in the damage numbers being displayed on screen.

Yes but some people like theory crafting. To me this is one of tsw great strengths, although I'm not playing it due to instance grinding endgame, I did really enjoy messing about with builds and having content that was hard. Most modern mmos are too easy, you hardly ever die.

Personally i love TSW, and has become one of the Best MMO's ive ever played. The game allows you to play what you want. There are always going to be the optimumal build that everyone runs to for max DPS but you dont actually have to. Make the character you want to play and play it.
Also im confused at whoever said that magic was the way to go and holding a shotgun was as good as holding a Hotdog. Sorry to let you in on this but for ranged DPS the top 3 are Shotgun-Pistol, AR-Shotgun, and AR-Elemental. Melee is a different story but we are still hammering out Melee builds to figure out whats going on with them. They do more DPS, however getting that close to a boss is a death sentance. So successfully surviving a fight like that takes alot of practice.
TSW is a good game that is growing, the game will never stop growing monthly content updates that are more than just afew more fetch quests. When they add content they are expanding the story and making you learn more about whats going on. Issue 5 cause a big development that i wont spoil here.
EDIT - Ah thought of more, Dungeons go by ranking Normal-Elite-Nightmare. Normals are basically a first step into the fight teaching you some of the basics on what to do. Elite is when you get your gear to Quality level 10, and with it they add some more mechanics and abit of health. Nightmare is a ton of mechanics and a instant kill if you get hit with ANYTHING as a DPS and sometimes a instant kill if you get hit as the tank.
Because i can.

The beauty of it is that you CAN just take a pre-made (starter) deck or one of the many cookie cutter builds folks post on the forums and go without any theorycrafting at all. The only problem with that is that you may not understand the strengths and weaknesses of a particular deck, and at some point you'll get your butt handed to you. This is typically the point when new players say WTF, and ask why it is happening (typically when they get to Blue Mountain, where the game tests your build.) A few tweaks to the build and a better understanding of decks, and players are off to the races again.
And as far as the theorycrafting goes, you can take it as far as you like. I personally don't get out spreadsheets or anything, but I will search through the Conditions to see what's available and experiment with some to see how they play out. Others goes whole hog into min/maxing. There's definitely room for different levels of deck building.
By the way, I haven't encountered any elitist jerks in game (I'm sure there are a few), but everyone I've run into has been very patient and helpful in explaining how things work. It really is a good community.

As for the hotdog - that was me. What I meant was, guns have kick, need ammo and reloading. Might as well be holding a hotdog in my hand as a shotgun or pistols in TSW because none of that is relevant etc. Would of actually been more fun. 'The Hotdog of Death' ... ' The Bagel of Combustion' ... 'The Pretzel of Pain' ...

I play both, and both are great games. GW2 is by far more relaxing. TSW has more flavor.
Don't worry about all the theory crafting, at least at first. Follow a beginner deck build and learn from there. You are not going to get a handle on the mechanics in one day, so just relax and enjoy.
And if it gets to be too much, go back to GW2 for a while, that is what I do.

TSW is not a game focused on exploration. Sure, there's some and the areas you visit are beautiful in their own way, but they're also quite small and everything that matters is easy to find. Combat is not as polished as GW2's, but there's more customization invloved.
I'd say buy it. It's a unique games that's actually more similar to GW1 than it is to GW2. Besides, it's almost too cheap nowadays.

The dungeons are fun for a while, and its fun to play with the skill sets. But yeah, if open world / exploration is your focus then TSW is quite lacking.

Algonquin Avenue Public School is a junior kindergarten to Grade 8 elementary school with approximately 400 students. It serves a predominantly English-speaking population in a mixed urban and industrial setting.
In 2004–2005, the percentages of Grade 3 students meeting or surpassing the provincial standard were 69% in reading, 77% in writing and 79% in mathematics. In Grade 6, the percentages were 67% in reading, 59% in writing and 76% in mathematics.
We've adopted a sustained and consistent approach to improving literacy and numeracy that involves the whole school. School leaders, teachers, students, parents and community volunteers all have a critical role to play in student success.
Barb Potocnik,Principal
The underpinning of Algonquin's success has been a focus on assessment-driven instruction—on creating a link between teaching and explicit student learning needs—coupled with a substantial program of professional development in literacy and numeracy for teaching staff and school leaders. With a particular focus on enhancing
the achievement of Level 1 and Level 2 students, the school provides block time for literacy and numeracy each day and makes extensive use of past EQAO assessment items as well as high-quality resources carefully matched to programming in its instructional practice. Algonquin practises a whole-school approach reinforced by a strong communications program, in which parents, school council and community members are engaged, informed and valued contributors.

Please register and login to be able to post in this message board.
Quote Please_listen: See how they all have no problem keeping secrets from Vic, lying to him and not believing in him. BUT Let Vic do the same, and they all hit the freaking roof.
It's ALWAYS different when it's THEM doing it, just like when Billy tried to blackmail Vic, Vikki didn't even flinche and totally dismissed and made excuses for it.. BUT when Vic does something like that, bring the tar and feathers.
ITA!!!! Nikki was more on Jack and Adam's side than Victors! But of course she was. It's always ok for others to pull stunts on Victor but when he does it it's inexcusable. Where does this reasoning come from?? Victor, have Nikki followed and then you'll know who her son is even before she does.
Quote janetb:
Quote calliope: I don't know. Victor is a man who pulls his love away from you anytime you disappoint him. Not sure I blame Nikki for not telling him YET.
Nikki won't want to tell Victor until she finds her child.If not she can keep the secret.Victor will make it all about himself as usual. She didn't tell him and then she went to Paul for help.I can hear his big'YOU BETRAYED ME' speech coming.
That is what I was thinking. Thanks for putting it so well.
i can understand Nikki's reluctance to tell Victor about the baby from her past....but she should know by now how "The Mustache" hates when someone keeps secrets from him.......a "Catch 22" for Nikki.
Nikki should of fessed up from the get go....I can't believe she kept it a secret for so long.
Yes Nikki and Paul were in a cult s/l, that's old old stuff. Just a really sad s/l to bring it back up now to prop up the writers latest brain freeze - another long lost baby story. Tell or not telling Victor is just part of the same freeze. Please writers brainstorm some new lines, at least something we didn't have to FF through in the last 6 nonths.

I teach social work from the perspective that we can affect change in radically incremental ways if we are mindful of the most elemental part of our practice: our authentic and present selves.

Click Here to Watch the Whole Video in HD at Broke Straight Boys
These boys are very hot and very straight but most of all they are broke. Rather then lose their apartment, girlfriend, etc. they do sexual things with other guys for some quick cash.
Bring Ty in for a shoot, he was a local guy that responded to an ad that we had running in a local paper for models, and was interested in the money that we were offering. We went through the process of him sending photos in and applying with us, and then I setup to have him come in for a shoot. The day of the shoot I had him take a seat on the studio couch. He seemed to be a little nervous and shy, but I had hope that he would relax the longer he sat there. In asking Ty some questions, I found out that he had been married, has kids, and currently is working. However, the job that he has doesn't seem to be bringing in enough money to meet all the bills, so he had to look for extra work that he could do on the side. I explained how things normally work around the studio for people who are just starting out. However, I explained that I had another model in town doing shoots, and that I wanted to bring him in. The two of them could do an oral scene and hand jobs, in return he would walk o

Sturdy, lightweight stroller to consider- Aprica presto stroller
Search, search and more search! Parents are always seen making the best of deals when it comes to buying anything for their baby. But, at the end of the day we are all humans, and humans are never satisfied! We generally seek for more than what we have. The same goes when buying a stroller for your baby. Parents are always seen striving hard to make the best buy that includes all the possible features.
Now we want a stroller that is light in weight but sturdy enough to hold the baby. We look for a comfortable seat height but it should also have pushing bar at the right level so one does not have to bend. The stroller should have a 5 point harness system and it should be easy to maneuver as well. It should be durable and should also have certain extra features like rain cover and washable fabric. It should necessarily have a good storage basket and should be able to serve you till your baby no longer needs a stroller. It should be foldaway and comfortable enough that even the baby's grandparents can take the baby for a walk. It should be good looking(with cool colors) and possibly with a reasonable pricing. Now don't you think that these are just "SOME" of the features that all parents are looking for!
Well, to be honest, these are 'all' the features that any stroller could possibly have. The good news is that there exists such stroller- the Aprica Presto Stroller. This indeed is a stroller that probably would be your dream stroller as it has all these features. Though the folding is a little tricky, but it does fold, and once you know the trick, you can do it in a breeze. With good safety features and all wheel suspension, it can hold up to a seventy pound toddler which is almost twenty pounds more than usually seen. The weight of the stroller is only a little over thirteen pounds and you can carry it just about anywhere, the supermarket, mall or park.
You can have your baby seated comfortably. Let the child's tiny legs rest on the comfortable foot rest and shade him up with the sun canopy, and there you go! Hey baby, have a happy "presto" ride!

The new kitchen is operational! It's so nice to be done with moving, because now I'll have time to work on cooking up some new recipes. Here's one of the first creations to come out of the new kitchen:
Tangy Quinoa Salad
Serves 2-4
1 cup uncooked quinoa
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons bragg's liquid aminos
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 large carrot, chopped
5 oz. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and thoroughly drained
Rinse quinoa well and cook according to package directions.* Meanwhile, make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, bragg's and mustard. When the quinoa is done, pour the dressing over the quinoa and stir until quinoa is evenly coated. Stir in the carrot and spinach. Serve slightly warm, room temp. or chilled. It's delicious at any temperature!
* If you buy quinoa in bulk like me (and thus no package directions), bring 1 1/2 cups of water and 1 cup quinoa to a boil in a small saucepan. Lower heat and simmer with a lid on for about 15 minutes until the water is absorbed.

Hi! I am happily using Nouveau from a while now and have always updated my ports according to the following scheme: 1. Update the system "as usual"; 2. Update and install drm from git; 3. Update and install xf86-video-nouveau from git. I have been doing this since I have patched my src tree (I continued to update my system using subversion so the patches are still merged in it). However, I can see ports update for xf86-video-nouveau so I am wondering if I could just continue to use drm and xf86-video-nouveau from the ports instead of the ones in git? I think that patches in the system are still required, are they? Thank you!

Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Product Overview
Pantethine is the stable, metabolically active form of pantothenic acid, or vitamin B5. Pantethine is a vital component of coenzyme A, a cofactor for dozens of enzymatic reactions, including those involved with fat and carbohydrate metabolism. Clinical trials suggest that, because its biochemical configuration is closer to coenzyme A than pantothenic acid, pantethine may have more benefit than pantothenic acid. Pantethine appears to help metabolize fatty acids by activation of coenzyme A, promotion of carnitine transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria, and subsequent intra-mitochondrial oxidation of fatty acids. All of these help improve energy production in every cell of the body.
Consequently, pantethine supplementation has been found to support good cardiovascular health. In addition, increases in beneficial HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein A1 have been noted in association with pantethine supplementation. Apolipoprotein A1 is the major protein component of HDL and promotes cholesterol removal from tissues to the liver for excretion.
Pantethine is also considered the "anti-stress" vitamin because it supports healthy adrenal cortex function and hormone synthesis, particularly during times of stress. Pantothenic acid deficiency can result in adrenal atrophy, which is characterized by increased fatigue, sleep disturbances, nausea, and abdominal discomfort.

Longs Give $1 Million to Butler School of Music
A $1 million gift from Austin community leaders and art philanthropists Teresa Lozano Long and Joe R. Long has created the Joe R. and Teresa Long Endowed Chair in Piano in the Butler School of Music in the College of Fine Arts at The University of Texas at Austin.
"I am pleased to join Dean Doug Dempster in recognizing this wonderful gift from Joe and Teresa Long," said Steve Leslie, provost and executive vice president of the university. "With this gift, Joe and Teresa have once again demonstrated great vision in supporting the performing arts at the university. We are deeply grateful to the Longs for this gift and for all of their support."
This latest gift follows the Longs' $500,000 donation in March that created a piano scholarship endowment for the Butler School of Music. The Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long Piano Scholarship will support some of the most talented students studying at the Butler School of Music.
"We hope to accomplish two things with both of these gifts," said Joe Long. "One is to always have a professor of piano of national and international stature who will attract very talented students, we hope among the best in the nation. Secondly, with the gift for scholarships for piano students, we hope to further this goal and enable an outstanding professor in piano to offer scholarships to the very best students they can find, which in the end will greatly enhance the reputation and standing of our School of Music."
The Longs are both graduates of the university. Joe Long received his law degree and Teresa received her doctor's degree in health and physical education from the university. The couple has provided considerable support and resources to other schools and colleges at the university including the School of Law, the College of Education and the Institute of Latin American Studies, in addition to their contributions to the College of Fine Arts.
"The Longs' recent gift in support of our piano faculty and students in the Butler School is one more exceedingly generous gift in a truly astonishing history of giving to education, the arts and the university," said Douglas Dempster, dean of the College of Fine Arts. "Joe and Terry have exemplified devoted, results-oriented philanthropy that sets an example for all of us who love Austin and the university. They've certainly inspired me to try harder and give more."
The holder of the Long Chair in Piano will be recommended by B. Glenn Chandler, director of the Butler School of Music, and approved by the Board of Regents. Once the Board of Regents approves the recommendation, the first recipient will be announced. An announcement is expected by late summer.
"We are very grateful that the Longs have provided an endowed chair in piano that will enhance the Butler School of Music forever and will further enable us to attract and retain excellent faculty," said Chandler.

Metro history: America fears the Washington, D.C. Beltway
- (Photo: Popular Mechanics)
Driving in the District can be scary, frustrating, and maddening, as I imagine most of you know. Our fears were nationally validated, however, in April of 1984 when Popular Mechanics magazine included one of our transportation nightmares on their list of the 10 Scariest Places to Drive in America. It's an ominous list and hardly an honor. The magazine's illustration is a fantastic skull and crossed highways in place of bones.
What's worse is that not only did D.C. make the list but Baltimore managed to do so, too.
Our big source of terror in the District is the 495 Beltway that wraps around our city. This highway "does to cars what cyclotrons do to atoms," the magazine says. "Commuters can cope, but for strangers, the mix of on-off traffic, the uncontrolled lane changing, and the speed threaten disaster." You bet they do. The magazine calls the Beltway "notorious" and cautions at mixing "doddering tourists" with "hotshot commuters."
And what's Baltimore's transportation vice back in 1984? Drunken drivers, according to Popular Mechanics. "You should stay out of Baltimore, especially at night," the magazine declares.
The Beltway has, of course, remained a risky ride in the years since Popular Mechanics released its list. Consider these words from a Maryland Department of Transportation study conducted in the last decade:
SHA accident statistics show that the Maryland portion of the Capital Beltway experienced 6,800 police-reported accidents during a three and a half year period between January 2000 and June 2003. These accidents resulted in an average rate of 58.1 accidents per 100 million vehicle miles of travel, which is significantly higher than the statewide average of 54.7 for a similarly designed highway. Many of these accidents occurred at, or approaching, an interchange.
Both rear-end and sideswipe accidents were significantly higher than the statewide average, which could be a symptom of the stopping and slow moving traffic. The truck related accidents were also significantly higher than the statewide average.
Drive with care, D.C. commuters. Transportation is a jungle. See the Popular Mechanics list yourself here and learn the other national transportation horrors that those magazine writers feared.

This weekend, Gator's mother needed some help preparing to sell items in an upcoming yard sale — mainly her doll collection. She has dolls everywhere — in the shed, in cabinets, in the basement, in the hallways. Some are as tall as a real-life 10 year old. Some haven't even been opened, and some were crammed in a box in a dark corner. One even had a fossilized mouse embedded in the folds of her Victorian gown.
Here are some of my favorites (no dead mouse photos – promise!) None of these pictures have been photoshopped.
The red-eyed Shirley Temple is amazing. Apparently the result of sun damage to her formerly brown eyes. Is it a wonder I couldn't sleep at all?

I'm sorry. That is one house I would never be able to enter.
O.M.G. How did I miss this? That is hilarious. I almost sharted myself.
That's just – wrong.
Daymares in current. Nightmares anticipate.

Flowers and vines can be top-heavy, and many plants needs support systems to grow and stand call. The Garden Gates understands the importance of plants growing not only healthy but also properly, and that is why we carry a full line of plant support systems from border supports, hoops, and grids with legs. Many flowering plants, such as amaryllis, and climbing vine plants, such as tomato, require a support to hold the heavy flower or provide a system of supports for climbing. The Garden Gates' fantastic range of plant support systems allows you to establish vegetable gardens, climbing vines with height, and large flowering plants to grow to their full potential and beauty.
Wraparound supports and hoops act like a brace on plants and provide a sturdy base of support. Plant support hoops are made of a green plastic-coated steel and are perfect to hold heavy individual blooms such as delphiniums, gladiolas, lilies, carnations, and more. Wraparound plant supports are also made of the same green plastic-coated wire to support bushy and multi-stemmed plants or vines upright. Each wraparound plant support unhooks so that it can be easily and conveniently wrapper around any plant in need of support. The Garden Gates' plant support systems make outdoor gardening more enjoyable and plants more visible because they are upright.
The Garden Gates' plant support systems come in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit just about any plant in your yard or garden, and our border supports and grids with legs are great for keeping bushes and flowers in check and upright. The Garden Gates' grids with legs are made of a green plastic-coated wire support for low, bushy plants like daisy bushes. The Garden Gates' border plant supports come in a semi-circular shape to be used in the front of a flower bed to keep budding flowers from falling over. Semi-circular border supports are again made from green plastic-coated wire, and these plant supports can also be used to keep flowers and plants growing along a wall or fence. These border plant supports can be linked together or used alone for large or small spaces.
The Garden Gates' plant supports systems are great for garden plants, vegetable gardens, and climbing vines. Our plant supports also work well for bulbous plants and indoor planters. Amaryllis support is especially important during the amaryllis blooming season, and The Garden Gates' flower circle plant supports are the solution to amaryllis support issues. These flower circles can be used with a stake or bamboo cane for added plant support or alone if the plant does not require as much support. Plant your garden without worry about plant support because The Garden Gates has you covered.
Many climbing vine plants require additional support in order to get the vine to grow in specific directions, especially upward. The Garden Gates' spiral supports and teepee poles make excellent support systems when planting a traditional garden or vegetable garden and establishing beautiful climbing plants. Spiral plant supports in vegetable gardens support tomatoes, eggplants, peppers and other heavy bearing plants to grow healthy and tall, while keeping vegetables and fruits safe. The Garden Gates' plant support systems comes in many shapes and sizes to suit all of your garden plant and indoor plant needs. Shop our online selection of plant support systems today.

Access to Beulah is only permitted during the Annual Beulah Rock Festivus that is held there every Easter. More info here: www.beulahrockfestivus.com
Ethic inherited from Beulah
First ascents are hugely appreciated and the object of climbing at Beulah. Scrubbing lichen and removing loose rock is encouraged but the line is drawn at chipping holds or glueing holds back on. If a hold comes off, please leave it off and climb what the rock affords you.
Bolting is also permitted with permission and as long as there is no available natural protection. For example this includes a 30m climb that requires 9 bolts and one cam or wire to protect. The adding of a 10th bolt for the convenience of not having to carry said wire or nut is not acceptable.
Start near the burnt tree, up on some reach moves to an awesome hold before the mantle top out.
