Comments about First Mate Caddy Buoy, Blue:
This doesn't keep a glass bottle of beer vertical. The basket isn't deep enough, so the pivot point is too close to the midsection of the bottle, and the basket is too wide so the bottle isn't centered, even with the cozy. For something that's used on a boat, not holding a beer properly seems especially odd.

El Paso Salt War
The El Paso Salt War
began in the late 1860's as a struggle between El Paso businessmen W.W. Mills,
Albert J. Fountain, and Louis Cardis
in an attempt to acquire title to the salt deposits near the base of the
Guadalupe Mountains. Mexican Americans of the valley communities, who had for
years collected their salt for free, were now
faced with the threat of being charged salt collection fees.
Mills filed his own
claims to the salt beds and formed a group that became known as the Salt Ring.
Fountain, who had a falling out with Mills, later became the leader of the
opposing Anti-Salt Ring. He was soon elected to the
Senate with the expectation of securing title to the salt deposits for the
people of the El Paso area.
Louis Cardis and W.W. Mills soon
joined forces with Charles Howard, a Missouri lawyer. Cardis helped secure
Howard's election to district attorney, but, later became a bitter enemy with him
after Howard filed on the salt lakes for himself. These actions outraged Mexican
citizens who considered the lakes public property under the terms of the Treaty
of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Cardis later joined forces with Father Antonio Borrajos,
an Italian priest, who served the Mexican communities, to oppose Howard.
The Salt Flats are a remnant of an ancient, shallow lake that
once occupied this area of the Guadalupe Mountains approximately 1.8 million
years ago. Today, they are part of the Guadalupe Mountains National Park. Photo courtesy
National Park System
In September, 1877, Howard started a riot
when he arrested two San Elizario residents who attempted to go for salt. An
angry mob captured and held Howard for three days at San Elizario, Texas. He finally
gained his freedom by vowing to give up claim to the salt beds and leave the
country. He retreated to Mesilla, New Mexico, but quickly returned to murder
Louis Cardis in an El Paso store. Angry Mexicans demanded Howard's arrest. Howard was
arraigned for Cardis' murder and placed under bond to appear in court in
In early December, a wagon train of Mexicans
from both sides of the border left the valley, headed for the salt lakes. Howard
brought suit and left for San Elizario to press charges. In San Elizario, he and
a handful of
Texas Rangers
were besieged by an angry mob and held up for four days in the rangers' fort. On
the fifth day Howard gave himself up. The rangers also surrendered, believing
that Howard was to be freed. On December 17th, Howard, his agent John E.
McBride, and John G. Atkinson were shot by a firing squad composed of Mexicans.
The rangers from the fort were allowed to leave after forfeiting their arms.
Within a few days,
several detachments of troops and a posse of American citizens arrived in San
Elizario, killing and wounding an untold number of people. Most of the mob had
already fled into Mexico, and no one was ever arrested or brought to trial. The
short lived war very nearly led to an armed confrontation between the U.S. and
Mexico. The unfortunate consequence of the Salt War was that Mexicans from both
sides of the border were robbed, assaulted, and murdered. An exodus of Mexican
families from the San Elizario area immediately followed the event. Eventually,
the Salt Flats were claimed and the Mexican community was forced to pay for the
salt they once collected for free.
For the Hispanic people of the El Paso Valley
region, the Salt War was a struggle against Anglo attempts to exploit natural
resources believed by the Mexican culture to be on communal land. The
transformation of the salt beds from communal to private ownership threatened
the very survival of the Mexican border population.
They had constructed the road to Salt Flat and
therefore had a vested interest in the future of the salt beds. The El Paso Salt
War was not merely a quarrel over control of the salt beds, but rather a
struggle for the economic and political future of the area.

As our reporters continue to uncover wanton overspending by the Centinela Valley school district in so many budget areas, it's reasonable to conclude that the board members are either dupes of those who are extracting so much money from the district, or are on the take.
With no evidence of wrongdoing at district headquarters, we have to surmise that the board members have been fooled. Repeatedly.
The superintendent took in $663,000 in total compensation in 2013. "We would not knowingly give that high a salary," board member Hugo Rojas said at a board meeting last month. By his own admission then, they were duped.

- Prep time:
- 50 min, plus overnight soaking for beans
- Cook time:
- 1 hr 20 min
- Serves:
- 4
For an interesting take on traditional fish pie, try Jean Christophe Novelli`s haricot bean, blue cheese and sea food pie, set inside crisp golden Yorkshire pudding
Method1. To make the Yorkshire pudding, preheat the oven to 220C/gas 8. Sieve the flour into a large bowl and make a well in the centre.
2. Break the egg into it and beat in the milk, gradually incorporating the flour and water. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Place the dripping in a roasting tin and set the tin on a baking tray. Heat in the oven for 15 minutes.
4. Remove the roasting tin from the oven and pour the batter into the sizzling hot fat. Return the tin to the baking tray and cook on the highest shelf for 25-30 minutes, until risen and golden.
5. Meanwhile, drain the soaked beans and place in a saucepan. Cover with fish stock and boil for 20 minutes or so, until soft. Drain and transfer to a blender, reserving the stock.
6. Blitz the beans until smooth, adding enough fish stock to give a smooth sauce-like consistency.
7. Season with salt and pepper and pour in the cream. Blitz again until smooth. Return the sauce to a clean saucepan and heat gently. Stir in the cheese and truffle oil.
8. Gently fold in the fish and shellfish.
9. Spoon the mixture into the centre of the Yorkshire pudding and return to the oven. Cook for 10 minutes or so, until heated through. Serve straight from the oven.
For the Yorkshire pudding
- 75 g plain flour
- 1 egg
- 75 ml milk
- 55 ml water
- 2 tbsp beef dripping
- freshly ground salt and black pepper
For the filling
- 250 g dried haricot beans, soaked overnight
- 400 ml fish stock
- 50 ml double cream
- 50 g Benleigh Blue or stilton cheese, crumbled
- 2-3 tbsp truffle oil
- 400 g cooked mixed fish, such as cod and salmon
- 400 g cooked shellfish, such as prawns, mussels and squid rings

Blue 5MM 70 Light
Bathe your home in brilliant blue with our 5mm wide angle LED Christmas lights. Featuring 70 bulbs on green wire this set is perfect for outdoor decorating or larger indoor Christmas trees.

A special blend of phosphors placed on the diode itself produces a blue that is nearly identical to the wave length of blue light as it occurs naturally. Because the blue light is produced directly by the LED it also won't loose color over time like incandescent Christmas lights which produce colored light by passing white light through a colored bulb. Wrap the trunks and branches of your trees in the front yard tightly with these lights and your home will dazzle the neighbors...and perhaps burn their retinas.

Brad Barton blows away M45 steeplechase WR from 1984
Running against folks less than half his age, Brad Barton on Sunday blasted away the 30-year-old M45 world record in the 3K steeplechase, clocking 9:06.68 at the Music City Distance Carnival in Nashville, Tennessee. It was the same venue where Britain's Anthony Whiteman, in 2012, became the first M40 to break the 4-minute mile barrier outdoors. (WMA still lists 4:01.62 as the record, though, for unknown reasons.) Brad, 48, took down the 9:16.1 listed WR by Norway's Nils Undersåker in 1984. A year ago, Brad broke Hal Higdon's 36-year-old American record with a 9:22. He'd later improve it to 9:17.59. And just for giggles, he set the M45 indoor mile record of 4:16.83. Brad's 9:06 is worth 7:45.5 on the Age-Graded Tables. The real WR is 7:53.63. Nice run, Brad. He later replied to queries:
Brad wrote me from the Atlanta airport on the way to a speech in Boston:
Some real drama going in. The Music City Distance Carnival was just under way Saturday evening when university officials suspended it on account of a tornado/severe weather warning.
The race director wanted to restart the meet at midnight as the weather cleared but Vanderbilt officials pulled the plug. The action resumed at 8:15 AM instead.
Eating right was dicey with no decision made, but we finally got word at 11 PM and everyone got at least a short attempt at sleep.
Weather was fine this morning. Very humid but not excessively hot. A stiff breeze was just strong enough to help rather than hurt performance.
I lined up with a talented field of youngsters. The meet qualifying standard was set at 9:07. With no 2014 steeple mark [to my name], the meet director, Dave Milner, said he would "grandfather" me in. (I think his playful pun was very much intended.)
At the gun, I settled to the back where I could stay out of traffic, assess the hurdling skills of fellow contestants and ease into an agreed on 74 first lap.
I wanted 73s, but my coach, '96 Olympic coach, USATF Hall of Fame, steeple guru Chick Hislop, wanted it 74s. The plan was to come through 1600 at 4:56 and then negative if I felt I could. That was the race plan.
My actual 73 felt pedestrian. Laps 2 and 3 were also very easy 73s as I tried in vain to find a 74. I was hurdling fairly well. I eased into the 1600 mark with my first 74 split at 4:53 and felt phenomenal!
Lap 5 was different. I got excited and leaned in a bit. My hurdling felt a bit forced and I came through 2K at an uncomfortable 73.
That's when fatigue started seeping in.
The meet announcer was wonderful, keeping the crowd amped up and appraised of my situation. Page 19 of the meet program had a terrific paragraph announcing my credentials and lofty Master WR attempt goal. The Nashville fans really came alive for me!
The plan called for a 72 sixth lap and I tried for it, but my heart sank when my wonderful HS volunteer lap spotter yelled 74.
Not sure from there on splits. Brain went foggy and legs and arms a searing numb!
At the bell, I recall the announcer excitedly exclaiming I needed only a 78 split to get it done. I made a hard move then and focused on exaggerating my hurdle clearance (to prevent disaster) and ran hard between barriers. My final water jump was textbook perfect, my final barrier was a mess and then it was on to the finish in grim extremity.
Such a rush! The four or five youngsters I beat approached with humble congratulations and the others, including the race winner, each approached to acknowledge the accomplishment. Tons of postrace excitement from the crowd. It was a fun morning.
I'm celebrating with a late night flight to Boston where I'll give a corporate keynote speech on leadership, "mastering" adversity and testing the limits of the possible.
I'll be back home in Utah late Tuesday to celebrate properly with my wife and our six children.
Not sure what comes next. If I can stay healthy, I'd like to find a suitable mile to jump in somewhere (suggestions are welcome). Tony Young's 2008 impressive 4:16.09 outdoor WR mark looks approachable given the right conditions.
I should have seen this coming. Counseling with a very pleased Chick Hislop this afternoon, he is talking about breaking nine mins in a follow-up steeplechase with two or three weeks more training. This guy's got the steeple in his veins! Too good!
I'd like to support the national meet in July if I can work it into my busy family and speaking schedule. Hope to see you all there.
Love to lace 'em up with Troutman, Cush and Gore. Are they coming?
I was in the stands in NY in March to see John Troutman make a huge run at my indoor mile WR. He missed it by a whisper and the announcer never even mentioned him. How about it, John?

Congrats Brad on an outstanding run! You are an inspiration to both the so called "kiddies" and masters alike! From any angle you look at it, 9:06 is running at a very high level.
Mike - June 8, 2014
Incredible! Congrats Brad:)
John Gardiner - June 9, 2014
Phenomenal run, Brad! We were all disappointed you couldn't join us in San Diego last week… but certainly understandable. Congrats!!
Mike Q - June 10, 2014
Any chance of you going up to the 5000?
Brad Barton - June 15, 2014
Thanks fellas. I appreciate your acknowledgment.
John, it was tough missing The Festival of Miles. Dearly would loved to have been there.
Paul Greer and I are trying to put together a quality field for an age group outdoor mile world record attempt at his USATF sanctioned, Summer Nights Track and Field Series event on July 9 in San Diego. The mile is not listed on the events schedule but Paul is interested in creating a special exhibition race built around my attempt. Tony Young's 4:16.09 will be tough to beat all by myself. Is there anyone interested in having some fun?
Mike, I don't think the 5000 m is in the cards this year. With the injuries I've worked through this spring my whole outdoor campaign comes down to a couple of record attempts. I think the mile is a better direction for me. Thanks for asking.
Guido Mueller - June 16, 2014
Dear Earl,
Just now I red about your world record in 400m in M85 with 79.04 like the first human beeing who run the 400m in less than 80 seconds.
I wish you, that your Fitness will help you to can continue your master carreer still for a coule of years…. over 90 years an more.
Best greetings from Munich, Guido
Guido Mueller - June 16, 2014
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! für World record 400m M 85

FAT partition on USB stick not recognized on Win7 (other part. is OS Ext. (Journaled)
I have recently bought a 16 GB USB stick, and would like to use it mostly to transfer files from my PC to my Mac, and created a ~ 14 GB partition using "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" for this purpose. I open this partition on Windows 7 via MacDrive.
Now, I also need a small partition for various file transfers (documents and such) to other Windows PCs which don't have MacDrive installed. I therefore formatted the other ~ 2 GB as "MS-DOS (Fat)".
The problem is, my Windows PC doesn't recognize the FAT(32?) partition at all.
What do?
is the FAT partition the first or second partition on the drive
Second. But I think I have solved the problem by creating one big partition using Ex-FAT. I didn't even know what that was until a few hours ago, but apparently it works like a charm, even for big files.
AS a note to anybody else, I am pretty sure that on a mixed disk the FAT partition should be first

I would consider this route just as easy at "Let's Go Up" but there are some tricky groups to fight especially with the number of Nightmare Court Knights. Overall and with a little practice, this can be just as quick as "Let's Go Up" with much of the content easily avoided. As with the previous Twilight Arbor guide, I've listed below the very basics you will need to know for the dungeon. It should also be noted that you will always need to kill the Greater Nightmare Vine for each path.
The Basics
TA is a condition heavy dungeon that also has a large amount of pack enemies, from spiders to hounds. Everyone in the party should have at least 1 condition removal skill and all party members should also ensure they have a ranged option as well as a melee weapon capable of dealing with these groups quickly. If you have AOE skills, taking at least 1 is also a must. Due to the Blossoms (see below), it is also recommend to take skills which grant quickness so you can kill enemies easily before they respawn.
These are small flowers that litter the paths and walkways of much of the dungeon and if touched or not-quite-killed, will release a poisonous gas in a large radius. Thankfully they are incredibly easy to kill in just 1 or 2 hits however they will re-spawn after around 10 seconds. If you are caught in the cloud it is highly likely you will die unless you immediately dodge or move away. However, you must be sure that when you move away you don't actually trigger another Blossom that has respawned. An effective method is to kill all Blossoms but have 1 member of the party keeping an eye out for them. Alternatively, using swiftness/stealth to bypass them is the safest bet.
Nightmare Hounds
These are the hounds I described earlier and are an evil version of the rangers pet. They are silver elite enemies and will attack as a group of 4. For the most part they deal very little damage but can poison and pounce. The Mastiff's also tend to be in areas where there is a large quantity of Blossoms, meaning you have to damage them incredibly quickly. Using a Time Warp or other quickness skills is the best method, but it's also viable to pull them to safe areas before the Blossoms.
The giant Ent type creatures aren't anything to be particularly worried about as they move slowly and attack very little. They do however have a powerful knockdown so be careful. You'll only really encounter them in large groups on the routes "Forward > Forward" and "Forward > Up".
Twilight Arbor is full of spiders but mostly on the route "Let's Go Up". Some of the spiders (Undergrowth Stonetouch) can completely freeze you in place, that isn't actually a condition (it simply isn't classed as anything) so you are entirely vulnerable for its duration. The best method to deal with these is to focus on the Jumping Spiders first, while AOEing the others. Ensuring you also keep your distance with ranged weapons is also a good approach.
Pro Tip: After the second boss, on "Let's Go Up" you'll encounter the second webbed area, indicating spiders are near. If you have a Mesmer or Thief in your party, cloaking as you run into the room, while continuing to run forward, will allow you to avoid a whole host of enemies.
These are arguably the most dangerous enemies in the dungeon as they will erupt from the ground and spew projectiles at you and onto the floor. When the projectiles land they're indicated in a series of small red circles. If triggered, they deal a huge amount of damage. It's actually incredibly hard to predict or avoid their fire as the red warning circles only appear half a second before the blast. The best method to deal with vines is to actually get up close and personal as the only attack they can then do is a sort of stomp which is easily dodged.
Nightmare Court Knight
The equivalent of a Hammer Warrior, they are capable of dealing huge damage, knocking you down constantly and generally being a real pain. Targeting and killing these quickly is critical to surviving as they will lock you in to a permanent knocked-down state if you aren't careful. Keep them at range and nuke them down.
Nightmare Court Duelist
The equivalent of a Dagger Thief, the Duelist will deal massive damage if left unchecked and is capable of stealthing regularly. If you see them stealth, dodge to avoid their attack and once they have appeared, focus them down as they do die quickly.
Nightmare Court Archer
The equivalent of a Longbow Ranger, the Archer hits single targets hard and from afar. If you have skills that deflect projectiles (such as Feedback Bubble) you'll quickly kill them, but be sure not to leave them at the back firing away. Thankfully they don't drop traps, which is a relief.
Nightmare Court Sorcerer
The equivalent of a Focus Elementalist, these can hit incredibly hard with their AOE and single target attacks however they seem to attack very little meaning they aren't the first priority.
Nightmare Court Cultist
The equivalent of a Focus Necromancer, they really do very little besides using Locust Swarm and casting a few poison blasts, so are easily killed and easily ignored. Leave these until last.
Please note that the Twilight NPC's above are in order of kill priority.
Bosses – "Forward > Forward"
Greater Nightmare Vine
The first boss encounter sees you enter a bowl shaped area. To the left of where you walk in is a raised section overlooking the bowl below. When you enter the area, a single vinewill appear in front of you towards the centre of the bowl. Like other areas of the dungeon there are Blossoms just before the vines and surrounding the bowl. The best tactic here is for your melee players, after the Blossoms have been killed, to charge in and kill it quickly.
If you don't kill it quickly, other vines will begin to appear around the bowl. After you have killed 3 vines the giant vine at the centre of the bowl will appear. Like the others, attacking this in melee range will see that it is unable to use its projectile attack, significantly reducing its damage potential. It should be noted that vines will continue to appear after the main boss, so tasking one person of your party to focus on the Nightmare vine and the other 4 on the additional vines is a good tactic. The moment you kill the Nightmare vine the smaller ones will also vanish.
- Vines appear in sequential order around the bowl, with the first appearing just in front of you as you enter the area.
- Killing the vines quickly is incredibly important as more will appear around the bowl the moment you start to fight.
- It is best to kill the vines in melee range as this stops them using their ranged AOE attack.
- After killing 3 vines the Nightmare vine will appear. Like the smaller vines, jump in at melee range to attack it.
- Be wary of Blossoms, these spawn in and around the bowl every 10 seconds. Having 1 member of your party stay at range to focus on these is a viable option as the individual can then aim at the other vines or Nightmare Vine when the Blossoms are dead.
- Vines will continue to appear as long as the Nightmare Vine is alive. If you kill the Nightmare Vine, the others will disappear.
- Having 3 of your party attack the smaller vines, 1 on the Nightmare Vine and 1 at range (focusing on the Nightmare Vine when they can) works incredibly well.
Prior to choosing the path "Forward > Forward" you will need to first select "Forward" when prompted after killing the Greater Nightmare Vine, which will take you down into a small circular room with two raised areas on either side. When you activate the story, two sets of 3 Rangers will spawn on either side of you. Simply kill these one side at a time (they are very easy). After you have cleared the enemies, you will then be presented with the option to go Forward again.
Leurent's Elite Guard
To arrive at Leurent's Elite Guard you will need to swim through an underwater area just after selecting the "Forward > Forward" option. Once on the other side of the water, move immediately to the right hand side of the area, hugging the wall. As you do so, you'll see a bridge in front of you that you need to use, which is sadly being blocked by a Court Warder. Luckily for you and contrary to what many people think, you don't actually have to kill the Court Warder. All you need to do is stay close together as a group, have someone cast swiftness and run past him across the bridge. Once you've run past him, keep running all the way to the back of the Leurent's Elite Guard room and the Court Warder will reset. Easy.
Now that you are inside the room with Leurent's Elite Guard, you will see that the 4 Nightmare Court Archers are protected by 4 barriers. Do not touch the barriers or you will die instantly. There are two options for you here: the first is to equip a projectile ranged weapon such as a rifle, bow or pistol which cut through the barriers and allow you to damage the Archers. However, some physical spells won't pass through. If you're a mesmer this means your phantasms will die or cannot damage the Archers. As an Elementalist or Necromancer, I'd recommend you take the Staff so that you can ground target the Archer inside the bubble.
The second option is for melee players. You will notice when looking at the minimap a "Gear" icon moving around the room. This icon rotates in a clockwise pattern around the room and when above a barrier, players using the teleport entrances move inside where the "Gear" is located. At this point, you can merrily kill the Archer causing the barrier guarding him to break and allow you to exit freely. You should note that there is a little delay after killing an Archer and the barrier stopping working. Just wait a few seconds after killing the Archer before running out to the next, otherwise you will be killed.
Do make sure that when targeting each Archer that you don't stand in the middle of the room otherwise all four Archers will target you at once and as they stack burning conditions, they can hurt. Try to position yourself so you're only being attacked by one or two at the most. Repeat the "Gear" teleporting/ranged damage until all four Archers are dead, at which point a chest will appear.
- After choosing the "Forward > Forward" path make your way through the water.
- Hug the right hand wall immediately and use swiftness to run across the bridge and past the Court Warder.
- Inside the room with Laurent's Elite Guard, position yourself right at the back and have your team equip ranged weapons. Spell casters should use ground targeted AOE.
- Use the portals in the room to enter the barriers, only when the "Gear" icon is above the Archer you are attacking.
- Do not touch the barriers as you will die instantly.
- Once an Archer has been killed, the barrier surrounding it will disappear. However, don't exit immediately (wait a moment) as there is a bug which causes the barrier to still be in effect.
- Repeat the process for all four Archers.
The third boss in the dungeon is Leurent himself, one of the most difficult in all of TA. What makes this encounter so difficult is the fact that he is surrounded by three Nightmare Court Knights, all of which will attack you with knockdowns and stuns the moment you attack Leurent. Fortunately he is easy; his guards however are the problem. The easiest method to deal with this is to pull one Knight at a time, using knockbacks and block skills (take a staff guardian!) on the others when they come, causing them to walk back to Leurent. Although it will take some practice and you'll likely pull all three at once the first few attempts, it's relatively simple to achieve. Once you have mastered pulling and killing the Knights one at a time, all you then need to do is pull Leurent who deals little damage and is easily killed from range. For the melee players in your party, they should ensure they stay behind him.
- Use a profession capable of quickly one Knight at a time. A thief with Scorpion Wire is great here or a rifle warrior.
- Once you have pulled a Knight, all of them will try to attack you including Leurent.
- Use knockback, cripple and blocking skills to prevent the 2 other Knights and Leurent reaching your party.
- If successful, Leurent and his two remaining Knights will return to their original position allowing you to kill the lone Knight.
- If you are a guardian ensure you bring a staff as you excel here, with the ability to completely block the Leurent and his other Guardians from moving to you.
- Kite the Knight until he is dead as he has powerful stuns and knockdowns.
- Repeat the process for each Knight until Leurent is by himself.
- After pulling Leurent ensure you keep him at range and if melee, stay behind him. Like his Knights he has a lot of health as well as powerful stuns and knockdowns.
Nightmare Tree
The last boss is a Nightmare Tree in the middle of a circular room that differs to "Let's Go Up" in the enemies it spawns and the skills it uses. For the most part, it is still really easy just a little trickier. The Nightmare Tree will spawn a series of huge Oakhearts that have a lot of health and which are also capable of immobilizing you. The easiest method to deal with the entire boss is to simply ignore the Oakhearts and kite around the Nightmare Tree while damaging it. As the Oakhearts are incredibly slow, they are easily avoided and can also be knocked back and/or crippled. Kiting around the Nightmare Tree avoiding the Oakhearts isn't necessarily a fancy way of killing the boss, but it is guaranteed to work while being pain free. If you are rooted (happens very rarely) simply kill the binding roots.
- Enter the room.
- Have all members of the party kite around the Nightmare Tree attacking it.
- Be ready to dodge the Oakhearts that spawn.
- Use knockback skills or cripples if the Oakhearts get too close.

Stretching with Chilli actually increases workout tension!
We begin this week's What Chilli Wants with a backyard workout lead by Chilli and reluctantly followed by Tionna.
Tionna says she didn't want to go after their fight the night before, but they had already scheduled it. Also, this is a show, and I think this weighs a little more heavily. And as she says, "My word is my bond," though, she also vowed to find the right guy for Chilli before she said she was out, so really, some words are bonds, others are not. This is a tension-filled stretch:
Chilli takes time during workouts to tell Tionna that she didn't like coming at her "…in a very judgmental way." Tionna takes this in a very hypocritical way because this show's tagline could have been "…In a very judgmental way!" But Chilli ignores Tionna's snorts and says she's willing to change. So she's going to see a therapist on Tionna's orders.
Actually Chilli sort of ignores Tionna. She takes it out on her with this passive aggressive workout. Like, it's just mean to make a young lady this busty do jumping jacks and standing chest flies.
Tionna takes it until she just dashes away. Note: Running away from exercise is still running. I'm enjoying this running physical fitness theme throughout What Chilli Wants. The rest of the episode? Not nearly as hilarious.
Chilli gets a pre-therapist therapist when she does a photoshoot with T-Boz. First, I'm not sure what the look for their TLC photo was here: Teacher and student? Senior photo?
I expect T-Boz, who has survived two deadly illnesses (a brain tumor, sickle cell anemia), to say something about compromise and finding someone and greater perspective, but like a good friend, T-Boz is on Chilli's side, even if that side is a little ridiculous.
Chilli's going to have to get that greater perspective elsewhere. So Tionna takes Chilli to meet a couple that's been married almost 50 years. They talk to her about compromise, but mostly, they teach by example. So cute, this couple.
Then Chilli goes out on the only date she'll be having this episode.
"I'm preparing my son for somebody's good, clean daughter," she says. But who'll be good enough? "I got dibs on Sasha Obama." Hey, it's the next best thing, since Missy Elliott pointed out that Barack Obama's the only one close to good enough for Chilli.
"I think you're like, my favorite celebrity. Not just because you're my mom," Tron says. Now, you'd think it'd be the past boyfriends in Chilli's life that have led to her high standards, but maybe it's Tron too. Once again: so cute, this couple.
Though this is Chilli's therapy, it's really couples therapy in a way. Here's two people that need to work together and build a relationship (for one of them, but still, together), and they can't get along.
But then Dr. Davis asks Tionna to leave so she can dig into the list a bit more. She asks Chilli to pick a boyfriend that stands out in her mind. I know which one I'd pick! And I know which moment would stick in my mind. But Chilli goes with Dallas, her first serious boyfriend.
She confesses to having an abortion when she was 20, which she's regretted ever since. Chilli says she cried almost every day for nine years, part of why she wanted to have Tron with Dallas, so she could make up for what happened.
Her history with Usher? Just that she couldn't compromise and see herself with him for the rest of her life. So, from age 20 til now, Chilli's had two serious relationships: Dallas and Usher. The takeaway: You develop issues when you miss out on your sloppy 20's. I believe a series of truly terrible short-term relationships would have helped Chilli out.
Dr. Davis brings Tionna back in, then says to Chilli what Tionna's been saying in her own, precious, four-letter way since Episode 1: Chilli's using her list as a form of self-protection. When Tionna hears that Chilli is, at least, slightly, kind of, a little, willing to comprise on the list, she is happy.
These ladies! Such a cute couple.

I don't really care about Elizabeth Rohm. In my mind, she'll always be that chick from Law & Order who couldn't act her way out of a paper bag. It was painful to watch. And didn't it turn out, like, in her very last episode, that she was gay? And it was totally random and weird? Not that being gay is weird, just that, like, there were absolutely no signs that she was gay and then they fired her and she was like "This is because I'm gay, isn't it?" and it was all very strange? Am I making that up?
She had a baby girl on Thursday. Little Easton August Anthony was born at Cedars-Sinai, and both mother and baby are doing well.
Elizabeth and baby-daddy Ron Wooster plan to tie the knot in September, and Easton will be their flower girl. Cuteness.

Excellence in diversity Global in reach
The Annual Ethnobotany Lecture was founded in 2000 and is a highlight of the academic year for the postgraduate programme. It is sponsored jointly by the Centre for Biocultural Diversity at Kent and the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. The lectureship is awarded to ethnobotanists who have made a significant impact on the subject, and who have established a reputation in the public understanding of science. Recent lecturers have included Gary Martin, Victoria Reyes-Garcia, Will McClatchey and Nancy Turner.
We warmly welcomed Professor Doyle B. McKey as he presented, 'Evolutionary Ecology as a Driver of New Questions in Ethnobotany'.
Doyle McKey is professor of ecology at the University of Montpellier and is a senior member of the Institut Universitaire de France. He studies interactions between plants and animals, and between plants and humans, in tropical ecosystems. His widely cited work covers diverse topics including the interactions between plants and vertebrate frugivore seed-dispersers, the theory of plant defence against herbivores, the ecology of protective ant-plant mutualisms, plant evolution under domestication, chemical ecology of plant-human interactions, historical ecology and landscape domestication. Research he led on the domestication of manioc by Amerindian farmers in South America has reshaped our ideas about the evolution of clonally propagated crops. For the past six years, he has directed an interdisciplinary project on the ecology of seasonally flooded savannas.

Sometimes i have a web page open in my browser or something, and i want to leave it open for a while (like a few hours).
but i inevitably forget and at some point end up closing the program while tidying up the desktop.
i wonder if it wouldnt be possible to have a tray based program that let me sort of "lock" and "unlock" a running program,
which would just remove its "close" button maybe (it'd be nice of the close menu was gone from taskbar right click menu too).
so i'm not looking for some high security thing, just a way to prevent casual closing in a moment of forgetfullness.
ps. this might be a stupid requestÂ

I had to lay low like they was looking for the kid - all points bulletin
Bathing Ape hoodies in my sports car
Lyric Meaning
An all points bulletin is an announcement to all points in an area, usually used to find missing people.
His style keeps getting bit, so he lays low because people are searching for him and his next style.
He's on Bape right now.

After Clayton Donaldson had fired a penalty wide for the visitors, a great first-half solo effort from Harry Forrester gave the Bees the lead until a 77th-minute equaliser from Scunthorpe's on-loan striker Leon Clarke, his sixth goal in eight games, saved the home side from a fourth successive defeat.
"This is not where I want us to be," Knill said. "I feel for the supporters at the moment. They turn up wanting to see us do well and be entertained.
"And it's only us who can effect that and the only way we can do that is to go out and be brave and be positive.
"This was a game that was important for us to get something out of and it is credit to the players that we have.
"It gives us something to build on, to go forward again."

Three bedroom chests you should check out
We live in a time where compactness is one of the most vital criteria for judging quality. Bedroom chests are a perfect solution for storing necessities or even random clutter in your room. From clothes, jewelry, toys or blankets, one can fit everything into a bedroom chest leaving the rest of the room neat.
I have a mirror chest 3520 which is has a unique blend of compactness, optimal storage space and fashion. It is a great substitute to shabby cupboards or bulky cabinets that make the room look like a dingy apartment of the late 70's.
There are varying sizes you can choose from. Analyze the space and need for the chest. I would suggest conceptualizing the type of chest that you might want to purchase as well.
Three of the best bedroom chests that you might want to consider are:
- Drawer by Drawer Chest: An ideal piece for any type of bedroom. Varying finishes and colors are available to match personal décor and tastes. The look of the drawers can be accentuated with contemporary pulls. Ever thought of ceramic drawer pulls to finish the look?
- Dresser Style: Beautiful drawer profiles and framed panels with delicate detailing uplift the style of the room. Consider a warm brown finish in combination with dry edge brushing for a fine infusion of traditional and contemporary flair.
- Chest with drawers and door design: A uniquely styled bedroom chest with a combination of doors and drawers can add to the atmosphere of your room's décor. Jazz up the chest with snazzy metal handles.
Simple and accessible shelving storage, top quality metal hinges, and additional storage are some of the extra features that you could add to your bedroom chest.
Choose from the wide range of styles, architecture and color for a refreshing look for your bedroom!

If you're familiar with the Initial D manga or saw the feature film "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift," you know what drifting is. With smoking tires and squealing rubber, it focuses more on making smooth turns than hitting the finish line first.
Irwin Zhang does all that, but with a much smaller and radio-controlled (RC) car. You can find him spending hours inside Seasons City mall, armed with a screwdriver and controller, fixing and drifting his OTA-R31 type car.
Irwin, 32, talks about his hobby, the competitions, the judges and the urge to drift in a full-sized car.
How complicated is this hobby, do you just push a button and steer the car?
RC drifting is a variation of radio-controlled car play and it requires special skills in the art of drifting. When playing RC drift, you need the car itself, the controller, battery and special hard PVC tires. It basically involves all the modifications that you can do with a life-size car, because the only difference between a radio-controlled car and a real car is the size.
If you're serious doing this, it really helps you to understand about motorworks, how to balance the car or weight shifting and much more.
Do you ever drift in real cars?
I used to drift with real cars at first, but 'playing' with real cars costs a lot of money, so I stopped.
I found out about this hobby and fell in love with it my first time playing.
How much money does it take to start this hobby?
The price for RC drifting cars runs from Rp 3 million [$320] to tens of millions, depending on the modifications.
Talk about this RC drift community.
It was founded in 2007 and now has more than 300 members from Jakarta, Bogor, Depok and surrounding cities. Our members are kids to adults, and employees to celebrities. We welcome all drifters here. Communities are important because the more, the merrier.
Are you ever tempted to go back drifting behind the wheel?
Sure, it's more exciting drifting the car with you inside, but you could spend millions just for the tires. With RC, I can almost enjoy the whole experience with much less money. So I don't think so.
How do you decide the winner in an RC drifting contest?
We don't decide the winner by speed or from whose car touches the finish line like in other RC variations. We decide the winner by the 'beauty' of the drift.
We use three judges to score the drifting. The judges are senior players or invited world-class players. It depends on how big the competition is.
How addicted are you to this hobby?
I play three times a week. On weekdays I play after work, and on Saturday or Monday I can spend half a day on this.
Most drifters like me work, so we can all meet and play after work.
Considering the small cars, can you play anywhere with a flat surface?
No. In the beginning we had a problem with the availability of tracks. It's always more fun to play on tracks with their unique design and characteristics.
If we don't have a track, we'll put down some road cones or barriers to make our own track lines.
At first, the only track available was in Menteng, but now we have four tracks available in Jakarta, including the track in Seasons City.
With drifting being quite an expensive hobby, are the spare parts all imported and difficult to find in Jakarta?
No, they're pretty easy to find. You can easily find the spare parts in malls which have tracks in them, like Mall Artha Gading, Blok M and Seasons City.
How did this RC drift community get funding for tournaments?
We don't take any money from our members, that's for sure. This community funds itself through sponsorships, especially when it comes to big events like a regional- or national-level competition.
Sometimes, the RC car shops help us out by becoming sponsors, and that really helps us out so we can go to international competitions.

A few Apple map related stories have popped up today starting with the departure of early Placebase founder– the mapping company Apple bought back in 2009– Jaron Waldman. After Apple bought Placebase, Waldman started and lead the Apple Geo team behind the Apple Maps infrastructure and location services on iOS and Mac like MapKit and CoreLocation. He was at Apple up until last month and even filed for numerous Apple mapping patents, but recently left to work at a "new startup" according sources and verified by his LinkedIn page.
As Waldman is on his way out, the Apple Maps team today posted a job listing (via Macrumors) seeking a web UI designer to "design, develop, and maintain complex front-end code for a new secret project." Unfortunately we don't get many hints at what the project would consist of, but the job listing adds that the successful applicant would join "a small team working on an advanced web platform upon which many of Apple's future services will be based." It is almost like Apple knows the listing will get lots of publicity if it adds 'secret project' therefore attracting a wider audience of potential candidates.
Finally, over a year into Apple's Maps launch, Apple is still getting press for some hiccups it is yet to work out. A couple days ago news broke that Apple's Maps app was directing drivers in Alaska down a dangerous route across a Fairbanks International Airport runway and taxiway. It's certainly not the first time that Apple's Maps app has given dangerous directions to drivers (those lacking common sense anyway) since its controversial launch, and today airport officials confirmed that Apple has disabled directions to the airport until it fixes the directions:
Apple has disabled driving directions to the Fairbanks International Airport after a glitch in its maps app guided drivers to the edge of a runway instead of a terminal, airport spokeswoman Angie Spear said Friday. Two times, drivers continued on and cut across an active runway to reach the terminal. "I wouldn't describe it necessarily as a fix, they just deactivated the directions," Spear said.
Spear said now, when someone puts in the airport as their final destination, "a message pops up and says, 'Directions not available, direction cannot be found between these locations,"' she said.

I'm calling 'maps in the cloud'
A lot of lies and speculation.
The Apple Maps work almost perfectly.
And have many more features than what Google has to offer.
Apple Maps do have a lot of problems and lose ends but they are still among the best maps for mobile devices. Here are the real problems that Apple Maps need to fix:
Apple does not know where individual stores and restaurants are located in outdoor malls. Maps directs you to the mall but then drops you off in the parking lot and expects you to drive or walk around and find the store's address.
When zooming into the photo map, it shows black tiles until the new image is loaded. If you try to use photo maps while driving and zoomed in, it often shows you black tiles most of the time rather than a lower resolution image like it should. Zoom in too far and all you will see is black tiles in some areas.
The street map is 2D. You have no sense of the terrain you will be walking between two points in a city like San Fransisco. That could be a major factor when you decide to take a taxi or walk it.
Offline is awful. Try driving a route in the mountains. As your iOS device loses cell phone signal, the road you are driving on will become very low resolution and navigation may get confused. Worse, when you get to your destination, there is no way to navigate to any other location if you don't have a data connection.
Maps likes to take you off a freeway and onto a side street just for the chance to save a minute of drive time. There is no option to stick to the freeways.
