Origins of Life
Oparins Hypothesis
The hypothesis put forth to explain the origins of the Universe, our solar system, and our planet is called the Big Bang Theory. The Big Bang Theory IS NOT EVOLUTION! (The theory of evolution deals with living organisms, once they have come into existance.) The Big Bang theory says that all matter in the Universe was, at one time, concentrated in a giant mass (a black hole?) that blew apart about 10 to 20 bya (billion years ago) and is still expanding. About 5 bya, some of the matter condensed until forces were so strong that thermonuclear reactions began, and this was the origin of our sun. A disk-shaped cloud of matter orbiting the sun subsequently condensed into the planets. Thus, about 4.6 bya, the planets coalesced, and it is thought that Earth began as cold world. Later, due to whatever factors, the planet heated up enough to melt and sort into layers by density (core, mantle, crust). It is thought that the very first atmosphere may have been hydrogen gas, but since that is so light weight and very chemically reactive, most of it would have floated off into space or reacted with other substances, thus would have been rapidly dissipated.
Oparins Hypothesis of Conditions on Early Earth Alexander Ivanovich Oparin (publ. 1936), a Russian scientist, in The Origins of Life, described hypothetical conditions which he felt would have been necessary for life to first come into existence on early Earth. This, thus, is referred to as the Oparin Hypothesis. He theorized that the first atmosphere was made largely of water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen (N2), methane (CH4, and ammonia (NH3). As the surface of Earth cooled again, torrential rains of this mixture formed the first seas, the primordial soup. Some think this may be similar to what conditions are like, even now, on Venus. Lightening, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, volcanic action all were more intense than they are now.
Millers Experiment
Millers Experimental Apparatus Several possible steps/stages were suggested to get from there to living organisms. The first step is thought to have been the abiotic synthesis (syn = with, together; thesis = an arranging) of organic monomers, in other words, putting inorganic chemicals like methane, carbon dioxide, and ammonia together to form simple organic chemicals like amino acids, simple sugars, fatty acids, and nucleic acids. This portion of the hypothesis was later tested by an experiment done by Stanley Miller as a grad student under Harold Urey in 1953. He used a sterile, enclosed system consisting of a flask over a heat source, a spark chamber, and various other tubing (see illustration). He added sterile H2O, H2, CH4, and NH3 to the sealed system. Heat was applied under the flask to simulate volcanic action, and this was enough to turn a significant portion of the water into steam. A spark chamber periodically discharged electricity into the gases to simulate lightening. In the return tube, the mixture was cooled to condense the water back into liquid, along with any organic compounds that might have formed from the mixture. Water and all the gases Miller included are all clear, thus his experiment started out with transparent water and transparent gases. However, after only one week, Miller had a brown, murky soup. Subsequent chemical analysis showed the presence of a number of amino acids and other organic compounds. Other researchers have since tried similar experiments with slight variations in the initial mix of chemicals added, and by now, all 20 amino acids, and a number of sugars, lipids, and nucleotides have been obtained in this manner. From this experiment, scientists generalize that if this can happen in a lab, it could have happened in a similar way on early Earth. Note that ALL that was made here was simple organic chemicals!
Hypothetical Subsequent Steps in the Process:
The next step in going from non-living to living is thought to have been the abiotic synthesis of organic polymers, possibly using hot sand or finely divided clay as a catalyst (cata = down, downward; lysis = loosen, break apart), a substance which helps a chemical reaction to go without being consumed in that reaction, which caused dehydration synthesis to occur, thereby joining the smaller molecules into larger macromolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, RNA or lipids.
Thirdly, it is thought that non-living aggregates of these polymers formed. These may have exhibited some properties characteristic of living organisms, but were NOT ALIVE, and did not have all the properties of living organisms. In a research laboratory, scientists have seen mixtures of proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates form globules. If the proteins involved happen to be enzymes, these globules can even carry on metabolic activity, although they have no means to replicate themselves. Simultaneous to this, the genetic code would have to have arisen. Several widely-accepted theories as to how this may have happened include the possibly involvement of damp, zinc-containing clay as a catalyst to help the nucleotides polymerize first into RNA, and later into DNA.
It is thought, then, that about 4.1 to 3.5 bya, the first prokaryotes, organisms without a true nucleus (like bacteria) came into existance. It is difficult to pinpoint a date for this because bacteria dont have skeletons to leave behind. The first fossils (remains of colonies/secretions) of prokaryotes seem to be this age. These would have been very simple cells without many of the organelles present in modern cells, especially without many of those present in modern eukaryotes.
Note that while some of these steps have been demonstrated in a lab, NOBODY HAS EVER MADE A LIVING CELL IN A LAB. While people have demonstrated bits and pieces of this process, the whole process has never been done in a lab. Rather, this is an hypothsis of how things might have happened.
Once the first cells, the first living organisms, the first prokaryotes came into existance, then the Theory of Evolution takes over to provide an explanation for how (not why) these primitive cells diversified into the five kingdoms of life which we recognize today.Copyright © 1997 by J.

Abdussamad, E M and Mohamad Kasim, H and Achayya, P (2006) Fishery and population characteristics of Indian mackerel, Rastrelliger kanagurta (Cuvier) at Kakinada. Indian Journal of Fisheries, 53 (1). pp. 77-83.
Indian mackerel, Rastrelliger kanagurta is exploited by trawls and gillnets along Kakinada coast. Its production increased from 67 t in 1988 '99 to 3,493 t in 1997 '98. Period of peak abundance and fishery was February-March while recruitment was high during December-January. Length weight relationship showed that females were slightly heavier than males of the same size. Growth parameters, L∞ and K were estimated as 286.3 mm and 1.89/year respectively. Natural mortality of the stock was 2.61. Total mortality varied between 4.69 and 9.29 and fishing mortality between 2.08 and 6.68. Stock varied during the period between 1,814 and 5,255 t and biomass between 268 and 902 t. Maximum sustainable yield is 2,239 t. Emax is 0.77, whereas exploitation rate varied between 0.44 and 0.72. These indicated that the resource is currently under moderate fishing pressure especially from trawls and has only marginal scope for further increase in production. Since further increase in effort by trawls would be detrimental for the resource it is recommended to reduce their effort marginally or to maintain at the present level, whereas effort by gillnets can be increased.

I haven't been planning outfits out ahead of time like usual. Instead, I quickly throw stuff together in the morning. The speed usually means rushing around in the morning, feeling harried as I fly out the door, and not taking the time to see what exactly I look like.
Wednesday morning was no exception. I was zipping up my boots, ready to run out the door when Scott quickly called from down the hall: "You look all cute and sassy in that"
Sure I still had to run down the hallway, across the lawn, through the parking lot, down the street and around the corner. I still didn't get a chance to see exactly what I looked like. But for the rest of the day, I knew I looked polished.
Was I any more pulled together than any other day? Not necessarily; it's hard to say without having seen myself. But just knowing someone else thought I looked good made me feel that good. From my interactions with colleagues and students, to my attention to work, I felt more confident. Was it the colours? The fit? It wasn't about the clothes; it was about knowing someone thought I was beautiful.

I always feel more confident and beautiful when my husband tells me I look good in the morning! It makes me happy when he thinks I look good!ReplyDelete
You do look very cute and put together!!
Yup, "cute and sassy." That's accurate.ReplyDelete
It's nice to get compliments from others, to reassure us about our choices.
Aww, I definitely feel a kick in my step when someone says something about what I'm wearing. Confidence goes a long way. I think you looked really cute. I'm missing tall boots so much I might wear them with shorts this week and boo the nay-sayers.ReplyDelete

Do like former Olympian Dave Currier and use your whole body to take control of your skis. When you do, you'll instantly notice a power shift in your favor.
You know those high-speed bombers gunning it down the hill? They may be using speed to mask poor technique. Being able to ski well in slo-mo is an art.
When you get stuck on terrain you'd rather not ski, there is an out: You can forge your own trail. But before you do, be sure to read the following advice.
After spending five days arching, bumping, and running them through crud, the SKI Magazine ski testers report with glee about next year's skis.
Ever feel as if you get sucked down mogul fields, generating more speed than you want and gradually losing control? If so, rethink your line-but only slightly.
A lack of conditioning, balance and touch may be holding back your alpine improvement. Cross-training on skinny skis could be the solution.
Spring skiing is a mixedblessing. The snow is soft, and the weather is warm and sunny. But spring snow can also be wet, heavy and variable, throwing you off balance with every turn.
One of the toughest conditions to ski has nothing to do with bad snow but with the lack of light. When light is "flat," the slope looks like a white, empty canvas, and it's impossible to read the snow surface clearly.
You can't just stand on your skis and ride 'em. You have to lead the way.
Even in the era of high-speed lifts, you'll spend more than half your ski day suspended in the air. Here are seven tips for making the most of that time.

Eugene Emerson saw a dusty, sagebrush-dotted desert town but envisioned a lush future when he gathered M.E. Ferdinand and C.V. Marshall to join him on the first board of directors of Idaho Holiness School. These men overcame meager beginnings and laid a foundation for what is now Northwest Nazarene University.
On Sept. 13, 2013, exactly one hundred years after Idaho Holiness School first opened its doors to 13 students, NNU honored its founders and recreated an iconic image from the past. Just as families had gathered to break ground for the first building on NNU's campus with a sense of purpose and reverence, current students, faculty, staff and family members gathered again, not only to remember but also to consider the next 100 years.
Reflecting on the Past
NNU's founders sought to create a school marked by a strong sense of community formed around common convictions. That this description is still true of NNU today pays tribute to their success. Superintendent of the Northwest District and Chair of the NNU Board of Trustees Randall Craker ('73) reflected, "We have broadened greatly in what we can offer, but through that broadening we have still retained our spiritual foundation and convictions. In our growth, we have retained our Wesleyan heritage, and I am incredibly grateful for that."

Spotify Mobile May Go Freemium Soon
Not too long ago I used to purchase individual tracks from Amazon or illegally download them using Bit Torrent. Then I started using Spotify, reviewed the service, and haven't engaged in the two aforementioned activities since. In my opinion it's the only way to consume music, provided of course you can live without select bands that have barred their music from the all you can eat music provider. In that instance I simply find it elsewhere and upload it to Amazon's Cloud Player so I can access it on any device that is compatible.
To be completely candid, I pay for a Premium Spotify subscription as it provides me with better sound quality, the ability to download tracks for up to 30 days without connecting to the service, and play them back on a mobile device. The cost is somewhat nominal at $9.99 a month and generally speaking the equivalent of one album on iTunes. However, that's an amount most people aren't willing to part with, month after month, especially when the one year cost is $120.
Well, good news. Now, according to a source close to The Verge, Spotify is in negotiations with Warner Music, and will eventually begin talks with Sony and Universal, to try to lower the royalty fees associated with their licenses. Why do you care? In addition to trying to improve the company's margins, as well as (see a) profit, they're supposedly working towards an agreement that would allow Spotify users to stream individual tracks to their mobile devices free of charge and on a limited basis. Odds are they'll try to offset the royalty fees with ads as well as some pretty compelling statics that show conversion from a free to a paid subscription. That being said, Spotify does offer a free trial of their Premium service before committing to the $10 monthly charge, but if memory serves correct you still have to punch in your credit card to obtain it.
With more people moving away from individual tracks to an all you can eat subscription model, it's probably not a question of if, but when Spotify will offer a free mobile experience. That is of course assuming Apple doesn't beat them to it, who already has a larger install base thanks to their strong hold on the hardware market.

Buying Property in Tenerife has many advantages over mainland Spain.
The biggest advantage is the rental income that Tenerife Properties are able to generate. Rather than having a short peak-rental period, property in Tenerife can be rented out and is in demand all year round with the busiest month of the year being December.
There is a healthy and mature market for "swallows" people who wish to come over to Tenerife and rent a property for 3 or 4 months between October and March.
Year round rental income from an apartment or villa in Tenerife can significantly offset Spanish Mortgage payments on a property making property purchase much cheaper.
The range of properties in Tenerife is vast, from small apartments in old Spanish towns, to penthouse apartments on upmarket complexes to luxury villas.
If you are looking for solid rental income, seek out the slightly older complexes in Los Cristianos and Playa de Las Americas and ensure they have a touristic license for renting to the general public rather than a residential license. Residential properties are let out on a weekly basis and many make their owners a decent income but you run the risk of falling foul of the touristic letting laws and the fines can be very steep. Expect to pay from 100,000 – 150,000 Euros upwards for a 1 bedroom apartment on a well maintained complex generating 40 plus weeks per year rental income.
Whilst these types of properties can be difficult to find, they are well worth holding out for and acquiring, as the demand for them shows. Ensure you are getting the best value for money by checking what is available on the complex. For renting out, apartments which take a lot of sun on the main terrace will be easier to fill than those that don´t – especially through the Winter months.
If you would like to register to be notified when such a property becomes available let us know and we can contact our extensive database of Tenerife Estate Agents on your behalf and notify you as soon as what you are looking for becomes available.
This will give you the best possible chance of purchasing a great rental property which you can use yourself for your own holidays.
We own TenerifeMortgageBroker.com as well as several other mortgage websites that cover the whole of Spain. As such our experience of Spanish mortgages is vast and we are able to offer up to 70% finance for these types of apartments by way of a Spanish Mortgage.

More rappers need to take some notes from Juicy J. We will return to this.
I've never been a huge Three 6 fan, and certainly know that what I have heard barely scratches the surface. While I've always heard something in their trademark sound, it's straightforward style kept me away telling myself I was more complex looking for deeper sounds. Bullshit. Growth usually opens the ears and sooner or later the Three 6 Mafia discography will get attacked.
Regardless of the satanic leanings of their early work, Juicy J and the Three 6 clique have come a long way and achieved much. Across the board, the rappers in their position with the same history and success seem to be looking at the new music industry with either confusion or disdain. It's no longer the get rich quick scheme they all were lucky enough to experience, and they are now being tested by a younger generation that doesn't give two shits about their "legendary" status.
A number of young west coast talents have spoken on the lack of mentorship, or even just acceptance from the previous generation. It's an interesting experience for a genre that has never really seen this situation before. Here is where Juicy J can teach something.
This year has seen Juicy J release three free albums to the masses, two of which were entirely produced by star of the moment Lex Luger. I slept on those, but will be going back. I couldn't sleep on something titled Blue Dream & Lean.
I'm not sure about the Rubba Band Business tapes, but on Blue Dream & Lean he has gone steps further from the Lex Luger collabs and reached out to a number of the youth talent making rumblings these days. 2 Chainz, Kreayshawn, Key, Tha Joker, Alley Boy, ASAP Rocky, Spaceghost Purp, Casey Veggies and his now boss Wiz Khalifa all show up here. Project Pat is still riding too, but he doen't really fit with those kids.
Musically it's pretty much what you'd expect. At 28 tracks it covers a lot of ground. The final tune features an ill soul sampling beat that would almost seem an odd choice for J if he didn't flow to it so smooth. Juicy gives himself a few beats, Luger is here for many, along with a number of other names most of which I'm not familiar with. Expect heavy bass, some synths and tin can like drum rolls. As is always the case with a Hypnotized Mind production it's best for the club or the car.
Lyrically you know what Juicy J is all about. Ladies and drugs. His Wiz affiliation is firmly embeded with a lot of tree talk and he is still serious about his syrup, were they not the first to reference the codeine drank in a national song?
Take the content how you may, if you can look past it you will hear a vibrant rapper who still has the energy to rhyme next to a bunch of hungry emcees. Call it simple if you want, but there is an appeal here and a talent that has made a living off that simplistic talk for probably close to twenty years.
Blue Dream & Lean won't have me shouting Three 6 but it does give me a lot of respect for Juicy J and his whole crew, while so many old rappers seem to be scarred of and ready to fight with the youth, J has wholeheartedly embraced a new generation and fucked with them on their level. It's good music, it's fun music and it's a respectable business move. Now get your zip and your double cup, download this tape and let's party.

Security systems not stopping thieves in Bath Township; phone lines cut during break-ins
Cars, jewelry and electronics are targeted
BATH TOWNSHIP, Ohio - Three homes on the southern end of Bath Township have been broken into. One car, electronics and jewelry have been stolen -- amounting to thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.
All of the home break-ins had one thing in common -- they all had security systems.
"The suspects are cutting the phone lines, which disables the burglar alarm. They then force entry into the home," said Michael McNeely, Bath Township chief of police.
All of the thefts occurred in the last several weeks. Similar break-ins have happened in parts of Medina County.
Residents like Glenn Kirkwood are concerned. Glenn is a construction worker and can't afford to have any tools stolen.
"I work here in Bath so I'm going to take a little bit better care and make sure everything is locked and secure," said Kirkwood.
Chief McNeely recommends a cellular backup to any hard-lined security system. If the wires are cut outside of the home, the system will still work.
Anyone who spots suspicious activity is asked to contact Bath Township police at 330-666-3736.

Bonita greyhound track betting on slot machine vote
LEE COUNTY - Owners of the Bonita Springs greyhound track want to offer slot machines, and this week they outlined their desire to put the issue to voters.
Isadore Havenick, of Southwest Florida Enterprises, which owns Naples Fort Myers Greyhound Racing and Poker, brought a pitch to Bonita Springs officials on Thursday, part of a bid to stay competitive and expand the casino's offerings.
By announcing its intentions, the Lee County dog track wades deeper into a statewide battle over gaming, and it joins three other Florida pari-mutuels taking advantage of a court ruling that upheld any county's ability to approve slot machines by referendum.
"Since people have been moving forward with this, we wanted to make sure that we were included in the conversation and to see how people would feel about it," Havenick said.
His pitch includes a voluntary contribution of more than $750,000 annually to the city, 400 new construction and permanent jobs and a potential name change to "Bonita Springs Casino."
Havenick briefed officials, including Bonita Springs Mayor Ben Nelson, on the proposal in a meeting and told them he intends to ask Lee County commissioners to authorize the referendum.
Four commissioners reached by phone Friday were split on whether they would support putting the measure on a ballot next year. Ray Judah and John Manning did not commit either way.
Manning said he wants to see the details first. Judah, who also had not seen the proposal, reasoned that the issue is about more than just slot machines.
"It's revenue sharing, it's increased law enforcement that comes with enhanced gambling activities," he said.
Tammy Hall said she would likely support a referendum.
"I don't necessarily have a problem with that," she said. A measure that would "affect people's quality of life and their taxes is something that people should decide on."
Commission Chairman Frank Mann sharply criticized any effort to expand casino offerings in the county, calling slot machines "just one more nail in the coffin of Lee County as a family tourism destination."
Whatever happens in Bonita Springs, the state's casino lobby is watching.
Because of a 2009 amendment to a law on pari-mutuel slot machines, any county can offer slots if voters approve them by referendum.
In October, a court challenge by casinos hoping to limit the proliferation of slots was rejected in the First District Court of Appeal in Tallahassee. This month, those casinos asked the Florida Supreme Court to review the ruling.
Meanwhile, pari-mutuels in Gadsden, Hamilton and Palm Beach counties are drumming up support for slot machines. Gadsden County commissioners unanimously agreed to add slot machines to the presidential primary ballot, the Tallahassee Democrat reported earlier this month.
The efforts by the pari-mutuels — and by a Malaysian firm pressing for resort casinos in South Florida — have the Seminole Tribe of Florida fuming.
A compact with the state guarantees exclusivity on certain games, including slot machines. In exchange, the tribe pays the state about $12.5 million per month, a spokesman said.
"All this flurry of activity by the counties is sure to go nowhere," said Barry Richard, an attorney for the Seminole Tribe, which owns seven casinos, including the Seminole Casino Immokalee.
"It doesn't matter how many referendums they have, they need the Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering to issue a license," he said.
Because of the ongoing litigation surrounding who can offer slot machines, Richard does not believe they will.
A spokeswoman for the division would not comment on any referendum, saying she could only "reference to the current requirements," which allow slot machines by referendum.
As the Malaysian firm Genting increases its pressure on legislators to pass a massive gaming law allowing destination-resort casinos in South Florida, so has the anti-casino lobby. Several tourism-related associations and corporations oppose the bill and have asked to join in support of the casinos challenging the 2009 amendment.
"We just want to be ready," Havenick said of his proposal, which he intends to bring formally before commissioners in the next few weeks. "We think any time the Florida Legislature will allow us to expand the product that we are allowed to offer, we're always looking to attract new customers."

The war against dudes wearing skinny jeans wages on. Michael Kors is doing Dickens-luxe trousers with a wide leg and rope-inspired belt. And now Hennes & Mauritz AB, AKA H&M, is also hearkening back aesthetically with some men's 'hunting underwear' intended to be worn as pants.
The revitalized longjohns are part of H&M's new "Mauritz Archive" menswear line. The collection, which the brand is calling a homage to their outdoor heritage, also includes old-timey Scandinavian duds such as a $59.95 jacquard sweater based on a pattern from a Mauritz Widforss catalogue. The long underwear will cost $39.95.
This isn't the first time H&M has attempted to shed their mainstream tag by testing the waters of untraditional trousers. Earlier this year they introduced stretch chinos for 'Mamils' (middle aged men in lycra) as part of a partnership with cycling company Brick Lane Bikes. And while the longjohns are obviously aimed at dudes who play Big Buck Hunter at The Levee rather than hunt bucks in the Scandinavian wilderness, if David Beckham's fronting the ads, we're not complaining.
The Mauritz Archive collection will be sold in around 250 stores and online as of September 19. See a look featuring actual pants below.

Our stay at this hotel confirmed all that we have come to expect from Candlewood Suites - Helpfulness from staff, cleanliness of both rooms and all other areas and easy accessibility.
noise level unacceptable
October 04, 2015
Construction next door, couples with thin walls, kids running around, and pipes or other unknown noises mean I cannot recommend this hotel
Friendly staff and convenient location.
October 03, 2015
Small point, but the website lists the mailing address of the hotel vs. the actual address which the property can be accessed. They should note this on site as I assume most people navigate here by GPS.
While walking our dog after second day of stay, we accidentally discovered that there was a very nice new outdoor mall accessible from the back of hotel! Very convenient as this hotel has no on-site bar/restaurant.
Overall, a pleasant hassle-free stay.

It's dark outside and you need to run to the garage, so you ask yourself "Should I put on my shoes?" – The answer is an unequivocal – YES.

Hello. My name is Porter Stansberry.
A little over ten years ago I founded Stansberry & Associates Investment Research. It has become one of the largest and most recognized investment research companies in the world, serving hundreds of thousands of subscribers in more than 120 countries.
You may know of our firm because of the work we did over the last several years – helping investors avoid the big disasters associated with Wall Street's collapse.
We warned investors to avoid Fannie and Freddie, Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and General Motors and dozens of other companies that have since collapsed. We even helped our subscribers find opportunities to profit from these moves by shorting stocks and buying put options. To my knowledge, no other research firm in the world can match our record of correctly predicting the catastrophe that occurred in 2008.
But that's not why I created this letter.
I reference our success and experience with Wall Street's latest crisis because we believe there is an even bigger crisis lurking – something that will shake the very foundation of America.
And that is why I've spent a significant amount of time and money in the past few months preparing this letter. In short, I want to talk about a specific event that will take place in America's very near future... which could actually bring our country and our way of life to a grinding halt. This looming crisis is related to the financial crisis of 2008... but it is infinitely more dangerous, as I'll explain in this letter.
As this problem comes to a head, I expect there to be riots in the streets... arrests on an unprecedented scale... and martial law, enforced by the U.S. military.
Believe me, I don't make this prediction lightly and I have no interest in trying to scare you.
I'm simply following my research to its...

Hello everyone; I want to try out tarp camping!! ...without spending a bunch of money and turn around and sell it. So,,, if anyone has an extra tarp laying around or a "make your own gear tarp" that there willing to sell/ part with for cheap I would greatly appreciate it. If I love Tarp camping (witch I really think I will), I have been looking at the grace duo tarp to purchase next year. As far as sizes I would prefer the 9X9 square tarp so I can try all kinds of pitch options. I have a trip planed for october 12-17; Thanks everyone and have a great day.Fall is hear and I can't wait!!
Edited by Jdthomas on 09/26/2012 17:33:43 MDT.
Joshua sent you a pm, also if you're going to try tarping with a bivy you should give John West a try. He makes a great bivy at an outstanding price. I have one, and have used it several times this year on trips right next to the more exspensive ones my friends had, sometimes they would have condensation, were mine was nice and dry. You can search him on BPL or on the web at Borah Gear. Jack
Edited by jumpbackjack on 09/26/2012 21:25:32 MDT.
Joshua here's a tarp I designed.http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=68060
One low cost way to try the tarp experience is to get a blue (or green or brown) tarp from the nearest building products store. Just be aware that the "size" stated on the label is the size of material cut (before hemming) and the finished size will be 4-6 inches smaller in each dimension. It'll be a bit heavier than some other options but not so much to be a deal breaker for a test drive.
I've got a silnylon cat cut tarp that is 9.5 ft along the ridgeline and 9 ft across front that tapers to 7 ft at the foot. It's a Quest Outfitters MYOG project.http://www.questoutfitters.com/patterns-tent,sleeping%20bag-cart.htm#QUEST%20OUTFITTERS%20CANTENARY%20TARPYou can see it pitched here in the first photo of the article:http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/fear_loneliness_ozark_highlands_trailI'd take $40 for it. Let me know if you are interested.Lucas

Tenancy conditions
We are currently reviewing our tenancy conditions to make sure they are still relevant and to enable standards in your home and neighbourhood are effectively managed.
Some of the tenancy conditions cannot be changed as they are a legal requirement however, here are some of the categories we are reviewing:
- Repairs - Cross Keys Homes' responsibilities; Tenants' responsibilities; Rights of emergency access; Right to repair; Right to improve and Recharges
- Gas safety - This will include a requirement for tenants to provide annual access for gas safety checks and a statement that we will take legal action to gain access where required
- Looking after your home and garden - A section on the responsibilities regarding required standards and conditions of the property and garden
- Behaviour - This will include all clauses relating to anti-social behaviour; nuisance; illegal conduct; conduct towards staff/other agencies; parking (including provision for caravans/trailers etc) and responsibilities towards boundaries
- Home security - Requirements for permission for installation of tenants' own home security equipment
- Pets - This section can cause some of the more complex challenges within housing management. It's important to ensure that this section provides a clear statement of Cross Keys Homes' attitude and approach towards dealing with pets, animals and livestock and any associated nuisance
- Running a business from home - An increasing number of residents want to set up their own businesses and may be able to run them from home. While tenants still require permission this will not be withheld unreasonably
- Tenancy changes - To include relationship breakdown; mutual exchanges; succession and name changes
Proposed amendments will be approved by our tenant-led policy review group for all new tenancy agreements, existing tenancies will remain unchanged.
To make any comments or suggestions contact senior neighbourhood manager, Steve Dumbrell at: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Revlon Nearly Naked Collection for Spring 2013
Revlon has a new Nearly Naked Makeup & Pressed Powder Collection launching for Spring 2013. I ran across the display at Harmons. This includes new Nearly Naked Pressed Powder and Nearly Naked Foundation in a wide array of shades.
Take a look!
Both the powder and cream foundation were marked at a friendly $7.59 but they might be more once they hit stores like CVS, Walgreens, etc…! I was a little skeptical of the "Nearly Naked" claim since the foundation looked quite thick and creamy. I'm a fan of cream foundations but not liquid ones like this as I find them messy to use. I was a bit tempted but I think I'll wait it out before I indulge.
They have a small booklet to help determine your shade. I'm surprised they didn't have tiny testers. It seems the norm lately for drugstores to have testers on their displays for swatch purporses.
What do you think of this collection?
Do share!
12/3/12 21:16 Cindy:
That Nearly naked font looks a heck of a lot like the font UD uses. Hehe

I WAS JUST THINKING THAT! Very coincidental! 😉
12/3/12 22:23 Aurora:
Please do a review!
12/3/12 23:57 Renee:
Im in love and cant wait to try.hopefully next comes eyeshadow lipstick and gloss
12/4/12 8:42 BLee:
I would give them a try if the coverage was there. Full would be great.
12/4/12 12:13 Iris:
I'm interested in the powder if the fair or light shades match me.
12/4/12 13:41 Danii:
I like what I see! Hopefully it'll be a match for me too (I know how it feels Iris…)
12/5/12 7:27 Jen:
Is it just me, or does the picture they used of Emma Stone look like she's been aged ten years? I mean, holy cow, she JUST turned 24 and the image makes her look like she's in her late 30s Dx
12/5/12 15:18 madworld:
I bought this yesterday and I am very impressed. I don't know about the staying power because I have only had it on a couple of hours, but the coverage is AMAZING. It's also quite blendable. I got the shad "shell" and the second lightest powder. The powder is definitely too dark for me. But, they didn't have any more of the lightest. I wish I had grabbed it the first time I saw it because I can't find it at any other stores. Can't wait for spring.
12/10/12 20:24 Jenna:
This foundation is amazing. It's as lightweight as a tinted moisturizer, but has fantastic coverage. Also, I have very dry skin and it doesn't sink into wrinkles or feel dry at all. I'm really impressed by this one!
12/21/12 16:48 fairytalesandcoffee:
I actually just tried this on and it is a really good foundation line. The finish is satiny and the texture is quite thin. The coverage sheer to light/medium with a second layering reaching medium. But the shade range is pretty bad. This With the exception of light and and vanilla (for light skintones) the rest is more medium skin depth with a heavy beige lean. natural beige and sun beige were beige orange on me and darker than my light-medium skintone. I didn't try medium beige or fresh beige because the outside color distinctly looked pink beige to me. It is a really nice foundation if you can find a shade match but this line definitely leans beige and medium toned.
2/2/13 0:02 Sabrina:
I actually have tried the foundation, I found Vanilla blended in best, others were too pink, set with my own translucent powder and liked it. Took me two stores to find my color, but I am really happy that they have shades light enough for my fair skin.
I almost went with the Maybelleine Dream Mouse and their lightest color is 3 shades too dark. Don't get me wrong, I am not THAT fair, I am MUFE #117 Invisible HD Foundation and range depending on seasons with Bare Minerals. I also found a shade that would work with Neutrogena.
4/22/13 17:25 Monica:
I actually tried this foundation and really do love it for a drugstore foundation love that it doesnt look cakey or over done at all. I've tried my fair share of foundations and have yet to have a holy grail but this comes close. coming from a estee lauder,MUFE,Dior nude,YSL teint,laura mercier i end up going to this one revlon

Good, practical information
I now play in a masters water polo program and the video was a great refresher for skills and technique. It could be improved by showing more real-time application of the techniques instead of simply showing run throughs of drills. Additionally, if there were more than one or two camera angles, it would make it easier to see what is being taught. Overall, very good for teaching and refreshing skills.

Art | Creativity | Visual Indulgence
Virginia based artist Eric Standley cuts complex architectural patterns on stacks of paper using laser cutting. These extremely complex paper cut art features elements of Gothic and Islamic architecture. The artist uses over 100 layers of thick paper in some of these works. In spite of the work being laser cut the planning and assembly can take months of hard work considering the fact that these patterns are first drawn on paper.

Where is CUB going in the future? That will be determined by the goals and actions of its membership.
As the past president of CUB, I see a great potential for CUB to contribute to the changing climate in adoption. Some of the issues I see us involved in are:
3) educating the public about the lifelong impacts of adoption on the adoptee and birthparent
4) reaching out to recent birthparents in this country and around the world
I envision CUB growing in membership but I am committed to maintaining the atmosphere of mutual support and respect that is a hallmark of CUB.

Clay Aiken Talks Friendship with 'Idol' Rival Ruben Studdard (VIDEO)
"We're very, very, very different people -- besides the fact we look exactly alike," joked Clay.
But the respective pop and R&B singers have stayed friends ever since being finalists on season 2 of 'Idol' seven years ago. Though Clay was runner-up, it's good to see there are no hard feelings between the two.
Where Was David Cook Among the 'American Idol' Winners?
In a true show-stopping moment, winners Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks and Kris Allen took to the stage to sing 'Together We Are One' by Delta Goodrem, during which they were joined by a revolving door of 'Idol' finalists that included everyone from Kimberly Caldwell to Constantine Maroulis and, yes, Justin Guarini.
Noticeably absent, though, was season 7 winner David Cook -- the only 'Idol' winner who did not take part in the group performance. According to Twitter, Cook was attending a charity event for cancer in Kansas City. An official word from Cook's camp has yet to be released.
Check out the clip after the jump.
'American Idol' - '1 of 10 Voted Off' Recap
My favorite part about the very beginning of an 'American Idol' results show is guessing who's going to go home. According to our poll from last night's episode, most of you think that it's Didi Benami's turn to leave the stage. While I can definitely understand that rationale -- she has been murdered by the judges for the past few weeks, after all -- I disagree. Even though he did a good job last night, I kind of feel that Lee DeWyze should go home, if for no other reason than the fact that I completely forget he's on the show every week.
Before we get to the actual results, though, there's a lot of other stuff that we have to get through: namely a rally weird 'Clash of the Titans' product placement that opens the show, as well as a performance from 'Idol's' forgotten winner, Ruben Studdard. We learn a few interesting things during this performance: Ruben has lost a pretty substantial amount of weight, and he's going on tour this summer with his 'Idol' runner-up, Clay Aiken. So what do you guys think? Is this tour going to be a fun show, or just two guys trying to recapture the limelight?
'Idol' Deja Vu: Season 9 Contestants and Their Previous 'AI' Doppelgangers
When the ninth season of 'American Idol' kicked off this January, it was clear that the magic that's made 'AI' one of the highest-rated shows in TV history remained untarnished. But, of course, nearly a decade into the show's run, a few familiarities were inevitable. Some of 'AI''s nearly 28 million viewers may have had a sense of déjà vu after being introduced to season 9's new hopefuls, noting that they seemed eerily similar to past season's contestants ... and we don't mean "Bikini Boy" vs. Bikini Girl.
We've handicapped the remaining contestants' and recent castoffs' chances for pop success based on the qualities that remind us of some of our favorite past winners and wannabes.
'American Idol' Winner Auditions: High Notes & Humble Beginnings (VIDEO)
Having waited tables or shoveled cow poo before becoming pop stars, famous people often don't care to rehash history. But when 'American Idol' is the vehicle that launched that superstar career, it's difficult to obscure the past with the sparkle of a Grammy and the gleam of platinum records, especially when the show's audition clips are some of the most fun viral videos out there.
Former 'AI' contestants like chart toppers Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and David Cook and Broadway babes Fantasia Barrino and Taylor Hicks once had to audition, too. Their tryouts are time capsules of raw talent that make you wonder how these artists ever wallowed in the same pool of hopefuls as William Hung, "Bikini Girl" and some of this season's worst auditions. Plus, watching Simon Cowell discredit Jordin Sparks during her audition because of her "weird smile" and "cutesy" delivery -- and knowing that he would eat his words when she won season 6 -- is priceless.
Take a look at the audition videos of all the 'American Idol's and see if you can spot the birth of a winner in each one.
Clay Aiken not a fan of Adam Lambert
I couldn't be happier with the way AI ended this year. I only turn the show on once a season and only to see what the set looks like. This year, I happened to turn it on during the minute that Adam Lambert was singing "Ring of Fire," and, at that moment, thought my ears would bleed. Contrived, awful, and slightly frightening! I wasn't really a fan and found myself surprised whenever folks told me that they liked him.
Gawker has more. Idol fans, discuss.
American Idol: 1 of 10 goes home
This being the results show of Motown Night, the Idols sang a montage of Motown hits against a backdrop of classic Motown stars. Very nice. I also liked the Ford commercial, with the contestants putting together giant puzzle pieces while singing "Take Me Away." They look like they're having a blast.
Then the Velvet Teddy Bear Ruben Studdard sang a tune, and Ryan mentions that he was recently married. Congrats to Ruben!
And then the countdown begins with Adam Lambert up first. I can't imagine that he'd be going home, and sure enough, he's safe. With his ability to show such vastly different sides of his artistic talent, Adam has launched himself straight to the top of my favorites list.
Best 'American Idol' Performances Ever
They may all own the title of 'American Idol,' but winning is one thing -- turning in one of the show's most memorable performances is something else entirely.
We scoured through the past seven seasons to come up with the 16 best. Then YOU, the fans, voted for the No. 1 greatest 'Idol' performance of all time. See who topped the list.
AI Aftermath: The Winners - VIDEOS
Welcome to the final installment of "AI Aftermath," where we explore Idol's past. Each installment, as one more American Idol hopeful is eliminated from the competition, we take a look back at contestants past who were eliminated at the same point. We'll examine how they did on the show and what they've been up to since their eliminations. In honor of David Cook's crowning as your American Idol, we will look back at other winners.
This week: The Winners, featuring Kelly Clarkson (Season One), Ruben Studdard (Season Two), Fantasia Barrino (Season Three), Carrie Underwood (Season Four), Taylor Hicks (Season Five) and Jordin Sparks (Season Six).
'American Idol' Winners
They came, they sang, they conquered. Take a stroll down memory lane and meet the winners of 'American Idol.'
Which is the best American Idol finale?
Anyway, last night's epic battle got me thinking about past American Idol finales and whether any of them were this much of a contest. It seems like we've gone into most of the American Idol finales with obvious winners. Here's a breakdown of the past American Idol finales, and whether they stack up to last night's performances:
Send your Idol stalker mail with Idol stamps for that extra touch of crazy
How much cooler would it be to send your stalker letter to Kelly Clarkson with a Kelly Clarkson stamp? As Ryan Seacrest announced on last night's American Idol "Idol Gives Back" special, PhotoStamps has inked a deal with the show to produce commemorative stamps featuring the likenesses of each of the Idol winners so far, including this year's winner. In fact, Kelly Clarkson's PhotoStamp is already available, with subsequent stamps released each Tuesday.
So if you're planning to kidnap one of Kelly's hats and send her a ransom note with cut-out letters from various newspaper articles about her, demanding that she go out on a date with you if she ever wants to see it again, go that extra mile and show her you really care in that extra-special creepy way by using a Kelly Clarkson PhotoStamp! Remember, net proceeds from the sales of these stamps go to charity. And while you may be crazy, that doesn't mean you don't care!
American Idols dropped from record labels
The latest to be dropped is season five runner-up Katharine McPhee. She released an album in 2006 that has only sold about 365,000 copies, according to MTV news.
'American Idol' Stars: Where Are They Now?
Some winners have found great success (hello, Kelly!), some have been dumped by their labels (so sorry, Ruben and Taylor), while some also-rans have gone on to bigger and better things.
We check in on 30 'AI' alums and fill you in on which ones are in trouble with the law, which are still giving it their best shot ... and which have fallen off the radar.
The "Velvet Teddy Bear" loses his label
In the wake of disappointing sales on his recent efforts, it looks like J Records has dropped Ruben Studdard from their label, according to ContactMusic.com. The second season winner of American Idol was never able to replicate the sales of his freshmen effort (2003's Soulful), which moved more than 1.7 million copies. His most recent album, 2006's The Return, in which he came back to a more traditional R&B style only shifted 325,000.
Studdard won't let this slow him down, though. Rather, he's going to follow many an Idol alumni before him to the stage. He'll play Fats Waller in a touring production of Ain't Misbehavin'. And he's guaranteed at least one gig a year on the Idol finales. I have to figure some smaller label will pick him up at some point. Maybe he can have a Jennifer Hudson career moment (Dreamgirls' "And I Am Telling You...") and become relevant again. Or is he just old news?

610 Magnolia will hold its annual beer vs. wine dinner Aug. 28.
In a "friendly competition" meant to demystify food pairings, 610 Magnolia will hold its annual beer vs. wine dinner Aug. 28 at 6:30 p.m.
The four-course dinner will feature wines chosen by 610's wine steward, Robert Aquilino, and MilkWood's beverage manager, Stacie Stewart, and diners will vote for the winner.
"Whoever wins gets promoted and the other gets fired," says chef/owner Edward Lee with a laugh. "It's a good way to keep them on their toes!"
Lee notes that modern cuisine has become a lot harder to pair than traditional fare.
"All of a sudden you have cuisine that's very modern ? (using global) techniques and flavors," he says. "You can't go back to those old wine pairings - they don't work. That's where beer comes in. As much as this is a friendly competition, it's also to say a lot of modern cuisine is equally as good with beer and wine. They play different roles - depending on your mood, they kind of both go in different ways."
Last year was the first year that beer won. "Every year beer gets that much more popular," Lee says. "Even four years ago, craft beer wasn't a household thing."
The four-course New American dinner costs $70 (plus tax and tip) with a beer and a wine pairing per course.

Major League pulls podcasts from iTunes
updated 10:50 am EDT, Wed September 27, 2006
MLB pulls iTunes podcasts
Major League Baseball's internet arm has withdrawn podcast clips of baseball games from Apple's iTunes Music Store to increase its control over how games are displayed online. Apple will likely see little to no effect financially as a result of the games removal, but the move shows the unease that some digital content providers have with Apple's growing digital media presence, according to the Wall Street Journal. The league last week asked that Apple remove all promotions for its podcasts from iTunes, according to chief executive of Major League Baseball Advance Media's internet arm Bob Bowman. The executive said the decision was influenced by the league's lack of control in promoting its podcasts on iTunes, and that Apple declined a request to grant Major League Baseball podcasts better visibility on its iTunes service.
Apple also refused to give the league control over where promotions for its podcasts would appear on iTunes, resulting in league content displayed adjacent to podcasts from individual baseball fans, according to the report.
"That may sound immaterial, but again the brand is very important to us," said Bowman.
The league serves up roughly 75 percent of its 40,000 to 50,000 podcast downloads from its own website, making the decision to pull its podcasts from Apple's iTunes less inhibiting. The league hopes the remaining 25 percent who formerly used iTunes to download its podcasts will begin downloading baseball podcasts through its own website. Additionally, the league is increasing the amount of free content available for iPod owners, including new "clincher" videos which will display condensed versions major-league teams seizing positions in the playoffs.
"We respect Apple and iTunes -- we all carry iPods ourselves -- but we think, in the long run, our fans will be better served on MLB.com," Bowman said.

What is the cloud, anyway?
- Short answer: it's the place where cloud hosting companies do your computing for you.
- Longer answer: the cloud is the place where the resources of many thousands of computer servers are combined to create the appearance of unlimited numbers of individual computers, each running its own operating system and software services; each fully controlled by its unique account owner. Administrating your little bit of the cloud is, by and large, no different than configuring and maintaining your own physical computer. To someone browsing the Internet, your service will look just like any other.
Have you got stuff you'd like to share with the whole world or with co-workers or clients or customers? You could connect that old, unused computer in your basement directly to the Internet (using a web server software package like Apache), associate it with a web address, and invite the world in. Or you could rent space from a web hosting company so they'll put your stuff on that old, unused computer in their basement, and invite the world in.
Or, rather than just renting storage space and Internet connectivity, you could rent computing resources from a cloud host, where you, along with many thousands of other customers, will share vast hard drives, network servers and bandwidth, allowing you to provide your stuff to the world through a virtual computer whose size and cost can efficiently grow or shrink according to your changing needs.
What's in it for you?
- Suppose that old PC in your basement just can't provide what you're after, and the machine that will do the job will cost you upwards of $750.
- Suppose your Internet connection goes down from time to time – not to mention your electricity supply – but you want to be sure that your web service availability is uninterrupted.
- Suppose you're just not the kind of all-star networking guru who's comfortable creating a properly functioning and secure connection between what's on your hard drive and the big, bad Internet outside.
- Suppose you're not sure what your needs might be in six months or a year, and you'd like to avoid the costs of over and under supply.
- Suppose you live a highly mobile lifestyle, leaving you with few opportunities to access and manage the physical computers in your home or office.
- Suppose you work as part of a widely dispersed team. You all need equal and constant access to common documents and resources.
You could probably find solutions to each of these problems individually, but cloud computing offers them all in one convenient package. And a package that, in many cases, will turn out to be a great deal cheaper and simpler.
What can the cloud deliver?
For our purposes, let's say that there are three broad categories of cloud services: "IaaS" (infrastructure as a Service), "PaaS" (Platform as a Service) and "SaaS" (Software as a Service).
- An IaaS provider offers you an empty virtual computer. You are often given a choice of quickly and easily installing one of a number of well-known operating systems (various flavors of Linux or, perhaps, a couple of recent versions of MS Windows), and then the computer is yours. Practically speaking, you only pay for the time that your virtual computer (or "instance") is actually running, and for the memory and bandwidth resources you actually use. Well-known IaaS examples include: Amazon Web Services' EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud), Rackspace, and Google Compute Engine.
- Rather than a whole "computer," PaaS providers offer an always-running platform for which you can create (i.e., program) your own applications. These platforms are not always as versatile as IaaS environments, but they will often require less maintenance and are, in some cases at least, cheaper. Examples include: Amazon Web Services' Elastic Beanstalk, Google App Engine, and Windows Azure Cloud Services.
- SaaS services provide the kinds of specific software functionality that you would normally associate with local PC software packages – like business productivity applications – but on the web. A good illustration of this kind of computing would be the Google Chromebook, a cheap laptop designed to run nothing more than a web browser (Google Chrome), through which web-based software (Google Docs) can be accessed for document editing and storage. Examples include Adobe Creative Cloud, Google Apps, and Microsoft Office 365.
How does it work?
Much of the configuration and control of cloud services is carried out in your web browser, usually through a dashboard-like interface on the provider's web site. Using this interface, you will set up your account, choose the kind of environment you want, determine the resources you'd like to access, and launch your service.
If you're running a full IaaS, it's likely that your day-to-day management will be performed through a secure, text-based terminal session. For users who aren't familiar with terminal sessions, there might be a rather steep learning curve to consider.
What does it cost?
Light service is often offered free or for as little as a few pennies an hour. At such rates, it's not hard to see why more and more businesses are choosing cloud computing over local servers. Remember our $750 server? Well add to that the costs for your electrical supply, Internet access, cooling (powerful computers need to be constantly cooled – often by combinations of fan systems and extra air conditioning), and hours and hours of your labor.
However, a few pennies per hour, when multiplied by the 8,760 hours in a year, can come to quite a sum on its own. Before leaping into cloud computing, you should really do a good, old fashioned cost-benefit analysis of your own to make sure that it's a good match for your particular business model. You should also explore any alternatives that might be out there.
What about the risks?
On the one hand, Big Cloud is very good at providing reliable service. Cloud-based platforms like Amazon offer a high level of redundancy (that is, if one of their servers should fail, your data will already be backed up on hundreds of others, with the switchover happening so quickly as to be undetectable) and don't suffer much down time. But even they can fail: occasionally, a major power outage could take out an entire data center – as happened to Amazon's Virginia operation back in 2012 – killing service for thousands of companies.
There is also the possibility that your critical and sensitive data could be intercepted somewhere between your computer and the cloud; that your system integrity might be compromised by an attack from the web; or that any one of the countless workers employed by the cloud providers themselves could go rogue. While such fears are common to all Internet-connected computers, the cloud does present its own built-in vulnerabilities that must be addressed.
Managing risk:
Back up your data. Back it up again. Back it up regularly, every day, or at least every week. Back it up to multiple, safe locations (both physically distant from your computer and from your home or office).
And did I mention that you should perform regular backups? You bet I did.
Make sure that you use good passwords for all your sensitive accounts. That means your password should never contain words from the dictionary, names, birth dates, anniversary dates, etc. They should also contain both lower-case and upper-case characters, numbers and other characters, like $, %, and &.
Finally, make sure that you use only public/private key secure connections to your cloud activities (SSL for Linux and PuTTY for Windows).
It ain't perfect, but at least you will have done your best.

Julianne Hough may have avoided any wardrobe malfunctions on the red carpet at last night's Golden Globe Awards, choosing a frou frou Monique Lhuillier confection that, as far as we know, stayed put as she made her entrance. At the afterparty, however, Hough's Jenny Packham number met a very different fate.
She arrived at the latter event in a sleek, pale pink, floor-length gown with silk panels at the sides and a plunging neckline. It was a pretty dress, no doubt about that, but the slim silhouette looked like it would be difficult to walk in, let alone dance. Hough, a dancer-turned-actress, showed off her moves nonetheless, and ended up splitting the seams of the gown all the way up to her upper thighs, posting photos of the aftermath on Instagram along with the captions:
Ummm I think I may have danced too hard…. Eeek!!!!
Ummm again… I love to dance regardless of how expensive a dress may be… You can't hold me down!!! :)
At least the rips were in the front so she didn't have a Sofia Vergara situation on the dance floor. And perhaps next time she'll pick something a little more conducive to busting a move.
See the dress before and after the incident in the gallery below:
