text: ShesAllThat Cologne Chubby beats and massive freaks. A trio in spaceship overalls and old-faced rubber masks bring you to dance and freak out completely. Uncomprising electronics fed in with tight drums, merciless guitars and a soft sound of the 80s. Complex, ultragroovy and with a gigantic value of recognition. Is taken care of by the versatile front Grandpa, who for his estimated age offers and plays a bizarre stage act and somehow also sounds quite feminine. For several years this special troupe from Cologne has been on its run on several festival stages, clubs and has also spread its prominent fragrance into the British Radio. In 2010, She's All That presented to the world their fabulous debut album titled "Extra Fruity Disgusting". In the eastern half of Germany MDR Sputnik listeners inhaled the sounds, thanks to the several months of rotation on the radio. The song "Jabtac" also rotated for over a year on the English channel BBC Radio 1 and its video was shown for weeks on the German music TV channel iMusic1, several times a day. At 2009 Rheinkultur Open Air, which is Europe's biggest free open air festival, She's All That inflicted tenacious bruises on 40,000 pogers. Twice they were celebrated headliners of the "Sputnik Turntable Days" and special guest of the "SonneMondSterne" electronic music festival. In the most renowned clubs of the country they've rocked holes in the dancefloors, an electronic provocation somewhere between the 80s retro and the dance core of the 21st century. Snarry machine tones, sequenzer bitching, cracking sounds from some universe and rock to the dust, all that is She's All That. Sanitary warning: Once you've got the taste and it won't leave you.

These low-slung lacy boyshorts are some of our favorites. With wide panels of the same dentelle lace that we love in the matching bra, sweet bow in front, and a rolled hem in the back (to ensure that these bad boys lay flat under clothing) it might be easy to think that this bottom was a little on the practical side. Don't be fooled! This cheeky shorty is undeniably sexy. A great addition to every woman's wardrobe.

Who's the greatest? This mantilla lace and silk bikini with its gloriously sheer swiss-dot mesh bum, we think. The play of slinky and sheer packs the perfect punch. Knockout.
From its scandalously scalloped mantilla lace to the wide bands of gorgeous cording at the hips, this barely there thong floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee.
With wide bands of corded lace at the waist, front panels of mantilla lace and rear panels of swiss-dot mesh, this classic suspender shape packs a real punch. One, Two, Boom.

Tom Hiddleston can sing like a joyful pirate at sea, and there is video to prove it.
Hiddleston stars as a young Captain Hook in The Pirate Fairy (due out on Blu-ray/DVD April 1), a role that requires him to show off his vocal cords.
If there were any doubts that the guy who plays Loki in Thor and The Avengers could belt it like a man of the sea, those are gone. This clip shows Hiddleston in the studio, and those images are spliced together with scenes featuring his animated character. Hiddleston is singing so hard that the veins are bulging in his forehead.
And when he sings of the ship's masts, Hiddleston points joyously to the studio ceiling. The only thing that could possibly make this better would be if he were wearing a puffy pirate shirt instead of his dapper white button-down.
The Pirate Fairy has Hiddleston playing another villain, this time alongside the headstrong fairy Zarina (voiced by Christina Hendricks), who gets caught up with the pirates. They pretend to make Zarina the captain of the ship to get to her powerful Blue Pixie Dust.

Kennedy Museum Showcases High School Talent< < Back to
Visitors to the Kennedy Museum of Art have the chance to see 20 unique images from local high school students.
Ten students from each of the digital photography classes at Athens High School and Federal Hocking High School had their work selected as part of the show, called Emerging Artists: High School Photography Exhibition.
Lisa Quinn and Sally Delgato helped coordinate the program, reaching out to teachers from both schools. This is the first time the event has been held, and they hope to do it again with other schools as well.
This the second recent exhibition to feature student work. Crooksville Exempted schools had an art show last fall in collaboration with the College of Education. The works were then auctioned off to help raise money for art supplies for the school. The show featured a wide range of students, from elementary school level on up, and directly inspired the Emerging Artists program, according to Quinn.
"Photography is deceptively simple," said Kennedy Museum of Art Director Edward Pauley. "This shows shows that it is something much more."
Athens High School freshman Jenni Huber recreated a Annie Leibowitz photograph by using her sister as a model. "I have always loved photography," she said. "I love old pictures, because they allow me to look into the past."
Several of the students are looking to continue their photography careers. Federal Hocking sophomore Sarah Keirns, whose photo of a rhino at the Columbus Zoo is hanging near the exhibit's entrance, intends to make a living from her photographs.
"I think I'm really good at it and can express myself," she said. "I would love to open my own business someday."
Another Federal Hocking student, sophomore Jonah Preuss-Burge, said his interest in photography motivated him to save his money for his own camera.
Athens High School photography teacher Martie Rector is glad these students have the opportunity to have their work shown on this scale.
"It is important for them [the students] to be recognized for their work," she said. "To be encouraged, and hopefully continue into a career. It was great to see students' work in a museum such as this."
Federal Hocking teachers Sonja Coble and Ellen Hadley asked students in the newly created Digital Photography class to submit their favorite pictures. Ninety photos were submitted, and the teachers narrowed it down to 35. The photos were then sent to a jury, who selected the final 10 that were included in the show.
"This show is a way to honor the students' work," said Hadley. "It's great for them to sit down and pick out what they want to see on the wall of a museum."
Emerging Artists: High School Photography will be at the Christine Demler Brown Center for Art on the second floor of the Kennedy Museum of Art through April 8. Visit www.ohio.edu/museum for more information.

Anywhere City
this wiki
Anywhere City is the name of the city featured in Grand Theft Auto 2. It is presumably called this because at the time when GTA 2 was made, the game was based in the future (precisely in year 2013), and because the city doesn't bear any resemblance to any city in particular, although the intro movie shows that it was filmed in New York City. Anywhere City is divided into three sectors - Downtown District, Residential District and Industrial District and all districts are patrolled by the Anywhere City Police Department.
The Downtown District is the first district Claude finds himself in. Here are the major office buildings and high flats, as well as a university and some outdated small docks. The game begins here and Claude can start taking missions from gang leaders, who ring certain telephones around the district. In this district Claude works for the Yakuza (led by Johnny Zoo), the Loonies (led by Elmo), and The Zaibatsu Corporation (led by Trey Welsh). The maximum wanted level is 4 and therefore the highest police force encountered is the SWAT.
The Residential District is the second district Claude explores and is full of blocks of flats and shops. The police headquarters, the Alma Mater Prison, a military base, the Zaibatsu Village, the Mobile RV Park and the SRS Scientists laboratory are located in the Resident District. Here Claude works for the Scientists (led by Dr. LaBrat), the Rednecks (led by Billy Bob Bean) and The Zaibatsu Corporation (led by Red Valdez). The maximum wanted level is 5 (6 in the PSX version), and therefore the highest police forces encountered are the Special Agents.
The Industrial District is the third and final district Claude explores. The Industrial District mainly consists of factories, although there are also blocks of flats and a small village in the northwest, Mad Island. Mad Island is populated by a gang which always attacks Claude, regardless of Claude's respect level. Here Claude works for the Hare Krishna (led by Sunbeam), the Russian Mafia (led by Jerkov) and The Zaibatsu Corporation (led by Uno Carb). The maximum wanted level is 6, leading to an army chasing Claude.
The city bears similarities to Liberty City in the 3D Universe, as they were both directly split up into Industrial (Portland Island), Commercial (Staunton Island), and Residential (Shoreside Vale) districts.
- Anywhere City is the only playable map featured only once in the series AND without an outer universe counterpart (like in 3D or HD Universes).
- In the promo movie, a place by the name of Chernobyl Docks was mentioned, but it's not found anywhere in the game. It might've been a beta district.
- In the files, there are a few other districts mentioned, though they don't appear. They are named Barking, Kyabetsu, Romanova and Azimuth. It's implied that they would be part of the Downtown District.
- The districts of Largo and Stromberg are named after villains from the James Bond franchise, namely Emilio Largo (from the novel and film Thunderball) and Karl Stromberg (from the film The Spy Who Loved Me).
- The city can be seen in a screenshot of GTA 2 shown on a computer in the TW@ Internet Cafe in Grand Theft Auto III. This is technically the only appearance of Anywhere City outside of GTA 2.
- Curiously, LegendaryMotorsport.net's description of the Furore GT (which has appeared in both GTA 2 and GTA V) contains "From Los Santos to Nowhere, USA". It is possible that "Nowhere, USA" is meant to be a reference/homage to Anywhere City (which is sometimes referred to as "Anywhere, USA"), either as the name of the state/county it's located in, or as the name of its possible counterpart in the HD Universe.

The mid eighties was a huge year for thrash metal. Many bands released their classic albums at this time. This was especially the big breakthrough for the big four of thrash. The ever so infamous Metallica released Master of Puppets, which had a keen eye for melody due to the progressive rock influences. Slayer had the brutal speedfest known as Reign in Blood, which earned them a spot in the Trinity of Evil. Anthrax's Among the Living showed off a lighter side of thrash, with a slight edge of humor and an eye for punk. The best of these four, however, is definitely Peace Sells...But Who's Buying by Megadeth. In addition to being technically brilliant, it managed to leave the longest lasting impression out of all these albums.
While the production on this album may not be as pristine and crisp as Rust in Peace, Peace Sells has a very aggressive tone with a slight edge of grit, yet not too much grit to make it sound like it came from my basement. The guitars pack a fairly powerful punch, letting the aggression of each riff and lead hit your ears with tasteful ferocity, yet keeping a slight melodic tone to show off the virtuosity. The basslines are very prominent in the mix. Every track has the basslines thumping along, and you'll never lose it. The drumwork was toned very nicely on this album, booming like a cannon without the trashcan production of a certain album by a familiar band (I'll give you a hint: the album rhymes with St.Anus). For 1986, you couldn't have done much better.
The musicians on this album are amazing. Dave's snarl is a bit rougher on this album than on Rust In Peace, and his voice gives him a very cool, calculating, cynical personality. Megadeth's strong point has always been the guitarwork, and the don't seem intent on changing that on this album. Dave's riffs are very complex, and one thing I can really note about his guitarplaying is the heavy amount of New Wave of British Heavy Metal influence in his riffs and solos, particularly Iron Maiden. His signature shredding appears everywhere throughout the album. His axe-wielding partner, Chris Poland, is second only to Marty in skill. He carries a heavy jazz influence in his guitarwork, making his licks on the technical side, and also keeps a sense of melody in his solos carried from the NWOBHM influence (some of the solos here do sound vaguely Iron Maidenish). Dave Ellefson is yet another point of NWOBHM influence. He may not constantly use triplets like Steve Harris, but his basslines have a rather galloping sound to them-with an extra dose of speed. Gar Samuelson is similar to Chris in that he also carries a heavy jazz background with him. His drumming is skillful yet controlled, not to mention he crushes that snare abuser Lars Ulrich. You can sometimes hear this influence in his fills. The jazz sensibility found in the musicianship, combined with the heavy NWOBHM influence, makes for some kickass, talented instrumentation.
The songs on here couldn't have been more infectious. All of the songs will have you throwing up the horns and causing serious whiplash. Lyrically, this album is a bit more secular and violent than Rust in Peace, but still has a huge focus on the state of politics in the world. From start to finish, this album will have you coming back for more. For example, on "Devil's Island". Remember when I said there was a heavy NWOBHM influence present on this record? If you don't hear Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, or Diamond Head anywhere in this song, keep listening. The melody in the solo should be another clue. One of my favorites is the epic "Good Mourning/Black Friday". The melodic, slightly jazzy intro bursts into kickass guitar soloing and riffs flying at you from all angles, resulting in a snapped neck. There are solos everywhere in this album. "Wake Up Dead" and the title track are pretty much crazy solofests, with the former containing some nice shredding and the latter having a rather sarcastic tone through the classic lyrics, which defend us metalheads. I also admire their ability to be technical and neck-snappingly catchy at the same time. If you don't headbang to "The Conjuring", there is seriously something wrong with you. The best solo on the album is found on the breakneck thrasher "My Last Words", while "Bad Omen" is the heaviest, darkest song on the album, with some epic sounding riffs in the verse. The weakest track on the album is the bluesy thrash cover "I Ain't Superstitious". It's not a bad song, it's just overshadowed by the other seven songs. I have to admit though, it's a cover that only Megadeth could pull off with such energy, and it is a pretty fun listen. Other than that, this entire album is a blast to listen to.
I'm not surprised that Megadeth's breakthrough came with an album this great. No other thrash metal record sounds like this one. Pop this album in, embrace the technical skill, and get ready for a snapped neck!

Elevate with Pat Bodin – Understand
ing the New IT Buyer
Pat Bodin has an impressive pedigree. His career in Information Technology includes stints with Lockheed Martin and Turner Broadcasting (CNN). He also spent time early on with a small start-up known as Cisco before creating the acclaimed education and consulting company Firefly. Both a CPA and CCIE, his experiences have provided him with a 360 degree understanding of how customers, vendors and sales entrepreneurs drive business. Pat is now working with NetApp and Cisco field sales and partners to help them understand the biggest shift in purchasing power for IT vendors and why selling the old way is simply not going to cut it anymore.
What is Elevate?
Elevate is a series of workshops that Pat has created to help sales professionals understand how and why IT purchasing is changing. During these workshops, Pat delivers a clear picture of who the new buyers are and presents explicit steps on finding, engaging and elevating the business conversation with them to drive new pipeline. Pat is passionate about the opportunity this creates. Elevate teaches you to think differently, change your approach and tap into a wealth of new selling opportunities.
IT Spend is Increasing – Are You At the Table?
The good news is that IT spending is continuing to grow. Gartner forecasts that the worldwide IT spend will reach $3.8 trillion in 2014 and we expect to see over $42 billion TAM in converged infrastructure. That's exciting growth. The challenge is that the buyer of all this new opportunity is different – according to Gartner, "By 2016, 80% of new IT investment will directly involve LOB execs, with LOB being lead decision makers more than 50% of the time."
But while NetApp and Cisco celebrated approximately $1.2 billion of FlexPod sales in the past year, it's still early in the game. We know our competitors are also seeing big sales numbers and positioning their organizations to capture the growing market share.
The bad news is that IT departments are seeing their budgets shrink. Traditional purchasers of data center and infrastructure technology have less money to spend as technology decisions and financial accountability shift to other departments and line of business leads.
So who is doing the spending and how do we get to them?
Delivering the Right Message to the Wrong Audience
Twenty or even ten years ago, senior management was less comfortable making IT decisions. As our population ages, new business leaders are emerging from a generation of people who grew up with computers and are knowledgeable about technology. Add to that the explosion of cloud-based applications available on demand and suddenly IT has less influence about what is being purchased and consumed throughout the enterprise.
Converged infrastructure presents a perfect opportunity to deliver the right message. The problem is we are delivering it to the wrong people. Pat explains, "When I talk to sales people and ask them who the line of business leads are, they immediately respond with CFO. Typically they think the LoB is somewhere in the "C" suite. That is not the case at all. The line of business is the team of people who are running the company. This means Development, Sales, Operations, Marketing and others. These are the people who need to react to market pressures, who understand how to build a business case that supports organizational change and who have money to invest in business transformation."
Pat continues that while many of our competitors offer inferior converged infrastructure solutions, they have deep line of business relationships because they are already selling applications along with compute and storage. "Recently I read through all of our published case studies – and our competitor's case studies as well. There was a big difference around the KPIs (key performance indicators). Our competitors' solutions aren't as good as ours but they are telling a better story."
Broaden Who You Talk To and Broaden Your Sales
Shifting your sales strategy to connect with the line of business is exciting. This is typically a level above the IT department and is where we will see 50%-80% of the spending decisions being made. The application people are entrenched in the business and are involved in some pretty interesting conversations.
Business conversations tend to revolve around how to become more agile and efficient, enabling faster response to global market concerns. There is a lot of "thinking outside of the box" going on and the conversation naturally is able to drive to a highly measurable ROI.
Pat used the following example to illustrate his point. "There was a large oil and gas company I was recently working with. They are investing in SAP. When you think of SAP you think of millions of dollars in software, hardware and services and you would be right. You also think IT is going to be a key player in the decision and the roll-out. That is where you are wrong. For this client, the Line of Business owns everything. The SAP project is siloed away from the remainder of the enterprise. IT have no involvement, visibility or touch-point into either the project or the on-going management and support of the solution."
Focus on Solving the Business Problem
Pat's final piece of advice is learn how to speak to the application teams using their own language. Don't "dumb it down" and don't bore them with deep technical features they could care less about.
"I always tell people it's like going to the Doctor. You don't want her to tell you how an x-ray machine works and you don't want her to pat you on the head and tell you not to worry about anything. What you want is an explanation of how the x-ray will identify which bone is broken so that it can be treated appropriately."
Recently a NetApp team who participated in an Elevate workshop met with line of business users from an investment banking unit. They explored how the ING model (case study above) might impact how the investment bank delivered new client services. "The reaction was incredible. After the presentation we had several calls from other departments in the bank. The team from the first meeting were telling all their colleagues that they needed to talk to us. We booked up several meetings that aligned to at least 12 new projects in the bank. None of this had been on our radar before."
Putting it Into Action
Pat concludes each workshop with the following call to action. "If you are spending north of 90% of your time today in the IT organization (Network, Storage, Compute, etc.), consider tomorrow investing 15% of your time into the Line of Business Application groups."
It's a small step designed to begin your journey toward a whole new world of opportunity.
Just came from the training, and honestly was one of the best I've ever attended. The message was direct and beyond informative. Looking forward to reading everything he suggested.
Fantastic training. I loved it...great information for connecting with the customer emotionally and looking for buying opportunities as opposed to the traditional product selling. Would love to attend more of his seminars.

Dear little boy of mine,
8 years ago around this time in the morning we were preparing to welcome you into the world. You were wee small and your heart would flip out with each contraction, so a decision was made to deliver by cesarean. And I remember waiting to be escorted into the room while a nurse helped me get all scrubbed and dressed and masked up. I remember being worried but most of all I remember being excited. What would you look like? Would your eyes open up? Would you cry loudly?
Today you are eight and all legs and lanky arms. You are articulate and bright. You are silly and fun. And you are kind and compassionate.
The past three years have been hard, I know. But I am grateful to you most of all for being patient and helpful. Sure you had moments of weakness (I remember once you had to be hauled away screaming because you didn't want me to go to class that evening.) But you had many many moments of greatness. Like the times you offered to help me with my finance homework ("I can help! I'm good at math!") or the time you helped me think of a better sentence when I was writing student reports. You also were quiet and still whenever I had to bring you to class if I couldn't find child care. You were cooperative when I had to skype for study group meetings and kept your noise level down. You didn't complain about pizza or plain spaghetti for dinner on oh so many nights. And you gave me many hugs and kisses when you saw that I was discouraged.
Today when I graduate and walk across that commencement stage I will think of you and how proud I am of you. And I will also be grateful for all the love and support you gave to help me get there. It is fitting that this happens on your birthday and that you are there. Because you certainly worked as hard as I did.
Happy birthday my little kissy face boy!
Mommy J
My heart gave birth to
This bright moon pulling gravity
Pushing in to light.
This boy will become
A man. Outstanding, respectful.
Who visits mom often.

And no matter what anyone does, somebody will complain. So what? When did everybody among the fans of a franchise like all the entries in it? Good God, even folks who adore

And fans of Diana Gabaldon's bestselling "Outlander" novels are already in an uproar over the casting of the upcoming TV show. And the "Fifty Shades of Gray" fans are in an uproar over the casting of the movie, which hasn't even started filming yet. And I keep running into comic fans who are upset because Ant-Man isn't in the Avengers movies--because he was in the original comics, damnit!
Not sure when we decided that film-making was a democratic process, to be decided by fan polls and petitions? Or that reboots and adaptations had to be 100% faithful to the previous versions?
Now that you understand how the process works, we expect all your future Trek Tie-in Books, that you will post the Spec you are given to write from, so the Trek Fans can guide you to write it properly, and then post your finished product so we can have first crack at editing it, to ensure you did it right
Which will obviously make the process go much more smoothly!
On a more serious note, I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "the Spec you are given to write from." That's not really how it works. I'm not given a plot outline and asked to write it. It's more like I come up with a proposal/outline which is submitted to the Powers That Be for approval and comments.

A colleague came to me a couple of days ago with a SQL problem. He had something like this:
@get_source NAME INPUT ------------- ----- GROUP_1 5 GROUP_2 3 GROUP_3 4 GROUP_4 7 GROUP_5 3
What he wanted to do was multiply all the inputs across the groups, to get the total number of possible permutations. ie 5*3*4*7*3. The product of all the INPUTS. This has to be in straight SQL. Easy! You just need to… Ahhh… Hmmm…
No, I just could not think of a way to do it that my colleague could use.
My last post was on slow dictionary queries caused by having many, many thousands of extents in your database. This post is about a special case of this problem, which I encountered recently. It was on an Exadata box – Exadata is not particularly relevant to the issue, but I'm curious to see if mentioning Exadata will make this post more popular
I was querying the used and free space on a very small database on the client's X2-2 1/4 rack Exadata machine. The query was really slow, taking about 30 seconds. This is a FAST box, what is going on?
I quickly realised that the problem was specific to one tablespace:
February 3, 2012 A couple of days ago I noticed an interesting thread in the comp.databases.oracle.server Usenet group that described a problem of vanishing tables. The title of the thread certainly caught my attention, and I was a bit disappointed when I found that the there was little to no magic involved in the vanishing act. The situation reported [...]
For those of us acquainted with the philosophical works of Douglas Adams we know that the the answer to everything is 42.
mdw1123> select all knowledge from everything 2 / KNOWLEDGE ---------- 42
This above is a real SQL statement (version 126.96.36.199, just in case you wanted to know ).
January 24, 2012 (Modified January 25, 2012) As I read the "Troubleshooting Oracle Performance" book for the second time a couple of months ago, I made note on page 385 that it was possible to specify table columns in an index hint, rather than specifying specific index names (or just specifying the table name). This might be [...]
If you alter table TEST drop partition Q1, does it go in the recycle bin?
That is the question I was asked today. "Of course it…." Pause. More pause.
No, I did not know. I knew I'd seen partitions in the recyclebin on Oracle but I thought there was no option to state PURGE when you dropped a partition.
So, a quick test was needed.
First I tried a drop of a partition I knew I could live without {NB this is on version 184.108.40.206, I am 99.8% sure this is the same on 10}
January 20, 2012 A request for assistance came in from an ERP mailing list. The original poster (OP) is running an unspecified version of Oracle Database 9i, and is in need of a solution to generate new part numbers with prefixed characters that describe the type of part, followed by a sequential number that is [...]
January 16, 2012 I put together a test case to demonstrate how the physical reads autotrace statistic could exceed the consistent gets autotrace statistic if a single-pass or multi-pass workarea execution were performed during the execution of the SQL statement. If you are interested, you can see the test case in this recent OTN thread. [...]
How many times have you heard someone say, "The rows always came back in the correct order, but since the *event* it's now wrong. The *event* may be an upgrade or some maintenance task on the table etc.
Oracle clearly say,
"Use the
ORDER BYclause to order rows returned by the statement. Without an
ORDER BY clause, no guarantee exists that the same query executed more than once will retrieve rows in the same order."
This also applies for the
GROUP BY clause, that haunted people during their 10g upgrades.
GROUP BYclause groups rows but does not guarantee the order of the result set. To order the groupings, use the
ORDER BYclause."
Both these statements can be found in the docs for the SELECT statements.

I was very surprised to see these holiday pages almost bare! I'm one of those people that really gets excited around the holidays (especially Christmas) and my showing here is pretty pathetic. At least I did hit four holidays with the seven stickers on these pages. The jack-in-the-box and the witch are the two I remember the most. How many of you remember the stamps that used to come in the mail from the charity organizations? Most now send the return address labels, (at least those who still do them.) Back in the day, they were just fake stamps that you had to lick and stick. With me putting together this book in 1984, it's funny that this American Lung Association stamp has "1980" on it. I must have swiped it from the Christmas card stash or found it in the back of a junk drawer.

Well-known artist to appear locally
Published: Friday, August 15, 2008 at 3:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 13, 2008 at 1:28 p.m.
Going to view art at a show or gallery isnt unusual.
But having the opportunity to watch a bonafide artist work while you look on is.
Thats why area art enthusiasts should mark Aug. 15-16 on their calendars.
Visitors will receive a unique opportunity to observe 46-year-old painter Alvin Batiste bringing various scenes to life on canvas at the Edward Douglass White Historic Site, 2295 La. 1, Thibodaux.
The Donaldsonville native is known for his artwork, which is inspired by humor, scripture, hurricanes Katrina and Rita and plantation life, according to E.D. White Historic Site curator Diane Buckley.
With 26 years of experience under his belt, Batiste has been touted as one of the top artists in his field.
In 2001, he even did the artwork for Oscar-winning actor Billy Bob Thortons Private Radio CD.
Buckley said the historic site has always had a great relationship with Batiste through the years.
Hes come here before and has never said anything but good things about us and the site in general, she said. This will really be a unique chance for people to watch someone of his immense skill work live in person.
Batiste, who usually attends E.D. Whites annual Art Under the Oaks celebration, said he loves visiting the site whenever he gets the chance.
I guess Ive gone there the past 10 years, he said. Its a real nice place and the people I meet are great.
The free exhibition, called The Folk Art of Alvin Batiste will be on display from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
Buckley said she had the chance to travel to his Donaldsonville studio to pick out the 40 pieces that will make up the exhibition.
It was an amazing experience, she said. I picked three themes that I thought would appeal to people locally. They were religion and spirtuality, big mammas and hurricanes Katrina and Rita. To see all his work was impressive. What makes him amazing is the fact that he can generate so many pieces in such a short amount of time.
Along with viewing his art, visitors can ask him questions or simply watch him at work.
Hes an engaging guy, Buckley said. Once you meet him, you immediately feel comfortable around him. Hes the sort of person who welcomes input and likes to tell stories. We really think this should make for a great weekend.
Whenever I go to festivals people will ask me how I got started or how I get my ideas? I dont mind answering peoples questions or talking to them about my pieces, Batiste added.

kinda sad about baby - poss. trigger
It was definitely the biggest and most difficult change for us having our first. We were married for 4 years before we had our first. The lifestyle change is so huge when you first jump into parenthood!
I can assure you that you guys will adjust. Also you can find ways to spend time together still. DH and I still have date night every week - we just do it at home. It'll be fine!
DD (9), DD (6), DD (5), DS (3), DD born 4/8/13
I went through this a few months ago when we were cleaning out my office (to be used as his nursery). I just broke down and cried, thinking, it is never going to be just "me" anymore...I'll be a mother with staggering responsibilities. While my husband and I are very excited for this little guy (especially since it is later in life) I think we are both in a bit of a daze about the whole thing. I think it is pretty natural to feel this way though!
Yes. lol. And I have two older kiddos.
I'm kind of feeling... like I'm starting allllll over. Which is okay. Baby is loved, wanted, etc... It's a big adjustment, and our feelings are going to be all over the place for a while. Just do your best to enjoy these last couple of months before baby comes. Make a date weekend with your bed and SO. Go on a weekend getaway trip. Do something that you won't be able to do again for a few months. It'll help.
Sign it. Share it.
This is probably the biggest live change/cultue shock you will every go through. Yes EVERYTHING will be different. but you will find a balance. My hubby and I go out on dates a couple times a month. After our daughter is in bed we make sure to spend time with just us. We are planning a vacation this summer to go to the Shore. It will be our first family vacation since my daughter was born (I hope we have enough room for all the stuff we are going to need! LOL) It will be a lot different but it will be a good different.
Your not alone me and my hubby will have been married for 7 years as of the 19th this month, and I am scared of all the changes tha are going to take place. I know how you feel I will also miss being spontaneous and doing what we want together when we want, but our so happy to finally becoming parents. It will be ok, I am sure you will find the time to still spend alone with your df. Good luck you can do it :-)
Me 32 DH 39 TTC since 2003 10 miscarriage's 1 Ectopic
IVF ICSI July 2012 Our first bundle of joy DS due April 27th 2013
yes, i totally wish me and SO had longer for "just us" time. we will only have been together a year in june.... im just thankful we didnt turn out to be one of those couples that's only together for a short time, ends up hating eachother, THEN finds out were prego... were both super excited to meet our lil girl, but at the same time, we wish we had longer to get everything together...

The article regarding the drowning of a 15-year-old in an overturned kayak ("Teen dies when kayak capsizes near Alexandria," Aug. 4) is a painful reminder of the need for water-safety training.
You may be a good swimmer, and you may be wearing a flotation device, but neither helps if you have had no instruction and practice in getting out of an overturned kayak. The flotation device pushes you into the kayak, fostering a sense of panic. Wilderness Inquiry and the Park Service are resources for such training.

Facts about IRS workers
A recent article by Jeff Bergner ("IRS: A deeper look doesn't look pretty," July 29) suggests a link between my union and the alleged processing problems with 501(c)(4) applications at the IRS.
My union, the National Treasury Employees Union, is proud to represent 150,000 federal employees in 31 federal agencies, including the IRS. NTEU, by law, only represents non-supervisory, frontline employees, not executives, managers or policy-makers.
The facts are that numerous NTEU union-represented employees voluntarily provided sworn testimony to congressional committees investigating the tax-exempt application process and were praised by those leading the investigation for their cooperation and professionalism.
Without a union to ensure that their rights would be protected and any retaliation prevented, it is much less likely that these employees would have felt comfortable coming forward.
President Kelley -- along with some 200 others, leaders from both large and small businesses, policy experts, labor representatives and workers -- represented NTEU at the White House Forum on Workplace Flexibility.
The goal of the forum, which was open to the media and webcast, was to explore the importance of creating workplace flexibilities such as telework. While the president made a speech at this event, there was no interaction between any of the attendees and the president.
By playing fast and loose with the facts, articles such as Mr. Bergner's do a disservice to the American people and the federal workers who work hard to serve the public.

$2M for bike paths?
So the "bike boulevards" are nearly a million dollars over budget (Aug. 7). Wow.
It never ceases to amaze me how much money the St. Paul City Council has lying around or that it chooses to borrow for any lame-brained idea that someone comes up with. Two million dollars for bike paths? And $200,000 for a bike ramp? Say those last two statements out loud ... really? $2.2 million for that?
I seem to remember that riding a bike can actually be done on streets (free) ... and parking my bike? Locked to a tree, post, railing (free) ... never knew I needed to have a "path and ramp" to "ride and park" my bike.
Oh, and the city plans to put up signs to designate "bike boulevards." Really? So bicyclists need signs to tell them that they can use the street as a path for biking? How much of the $2.2 million is for signs?
You couldn't make this stuff up if you tried. It appears that the St. Paul City Council is never lacking in finding ways to "blow" taxpayers money on boondoggles and feel-good projects.
Meanwhile, the streets of St. Paul still look like bombed-out Third-World-country roads. While our elected officials steal money from projects of actual brick-and-mortar to pay for bike paths and bike ramps ... and people say that government is not bloated.

Accused of supporting voter ID
I noticed two letters about the Democratic auditor's primary race between Otto and Entenza. I had to re-read them because they were about voter ID law and Otto was being accused of being for voter ID.
Now, in the Democratic Party, it is a true insult to be thought to be in favor of making sure that the people voting are eligible voters. In the Democratic Party of today, if you are in favor of stopping voter fraud, you are an unacceptable candidate. It was amusing to hear the Otto supporters assure everyone that she was not for photo ID. It sounded like, "Don't worry, everybody, Matt Entenza is not the only candidate in this race that wants voter fraud to be easier."
Remember the last election, when Democrats pulled out all stops to stop the photo ID law? They were sticking with their mythology of all these supposed eligible voters who don't have ID -- also claiming to be in favor of voter ID but just not this one. "If we stop this amendment, we can fix it," they claimed.
The Democrats control all of state government, but no fix yet. This issue is probably down the list of damaging things the Democratic Party does to the state and country, but it is illustrative of how fearful they are of only eligible voters voting.
Patrick Hawkins, Cottage Grove
A Center Party
Based on the information provided in the news, columns and opinion pieces in the Pioneer Press, I am convinced that the Republicans and Democrats are clearly too polarized and obstructive to cooperate on the most critical issues facing us today. We need a Center Party (C.P.) to get any governing done at the federal level in the USA.
The C.P. I envision would accept no contributions from special interests like big business, unions or pressure groups, only from individuals. Therefore, its candidates would not be beholden to anyone. C.P. could concentrate on fixing the big problems: balance the federal budget by creating a simple, workable tax code and forcefully but logically adjusting all entitlements; find practical solutions to the twin disasters of public education inadequacy and high un-employment in our country; establish a 25-year plan to use the economic and military strength of the United States to help the downtrodden people of the world; arrive at sovereign but humane methods of securing our borders and welcoming those immigrants we need to support our economy.
C.P. could avoid the issues that create polarity by stepping back from them. Our platform would state that any two adults can get married and have the legal benefits of marriage, basic forms of contraception are free to those who want them, legal abortion is available for purchase by those to whom it is morally acceptable (or perhaps can be underwritten by contributions from supporters), and we will leave the interpretations of the Bill of Rights to the court system.
Oh, and C.P. would not have to advertise very much -- the negative ads it would attract from the well-funded right and left would do the trick.

Bug report: Marksman rifle with Iron Sights has Sniper RIfle hit box, not Assault Rifle hit box?
This can also be considered as feedback.
Marksman rifle - one shot rifle with attached scope as in Sniper rifle. Smaller damage, lower mobility, but semi-auto and slightly different parameters. Can have various attachments, including Iron Sights, which completely removes scope.
Sniper rifle - scope-only one-shot rifle (either bolt-action or semi-auto) with only a few attachments.
Hit box (the area around an enemy where hit is registered) for these two types of weapons is very small (conclusion based on my observations, I racked up over 1000 kills with sniper rifles). This means you have to hit the target very precisely, otherwise the hit won't register.
Problem is: very precise aiming requirement on sniper rifles is very vague. You can shoot the target several times just to watch bullets fly through them without dealing any damage. In one of the recent patches progress was made on the topic - now its easier to hit with a sniper rifle, or so it seems.
Problem with Marksman rifle is - changes were made only to sniper rifles, while marksman rifles remained the same - they're very hard to hit with, especially at closer ranges.
My conclusion on marksman rifles - they still suffer from terribly high accuracy requirement, same as sniper rifle originally had. While using the scope I can hit most of the time just fine (because I mostly aim at distant and stationary targets), I also have lots of trouble shooting with Iron Sights attachment.
My opinion on this: with iron sights marksman rifle acts as a sniper rifle. But it shouldn't! It should have AR logics behind it - its basically an assault rifle with single bullet fire mode attachment! But this should only happen when iron sight is used (you can't really snipe with it any better than you would with any other AR, or AR would be superior thanks to ability to use any scope, and not only iron sights).
Under AR logics I mean hit box, used by assault rifles. Its much larger, or so I believe. You can shoot wildly into the air and hit most of the time. You can't do the same with MR or Sniper.
To sum it up:
I believe sniper rifle hit box was modified slightly, but Marksman rifle hit box wasn't modified at all, and this is a big problem for me.. It would make sense to set marksman rifle accuracy to be same or better than a sniper rifle (its a weapon between a sniper rifle and assault rifle). It would also make sense (in my opinion) to use Assaut Rifle hit logics on Marksman Rifle with Iron Sights scope (to give players a valid reason to use iron sights at all, currently there isn't one - it takes away attachment slot, takes away scope and makes it hard to hit a non-stationary target, especially at closer distances).
hitboxes are NOT weapon dependent , they don't change depending on what weapon you shoot someone with, what changes is the damage multipliers of weapons on specific body areas. (hitboxes)
I guess I wrote it wrong.
Thing is: I can hit just fine with an assault rifle where I can't hit with a marksman rifle. Conditions are equal, target is equally moving or equally still, aim on target or just slightly off. In this case AR hits most of the time (8 out of 10), MR hits in 1 out of 3 cases (approximated, its easy to hit stationary target that isn't looking my way, but even stationary target looking my way can simply ignore 5+ bullets in a row).
Under hit box I meant how close the bullet needs to be to the body for the hit to register. If this doesn't depend on the weapon, how in the world I always hit with AR where I fail to hit 5+ bullets in a row with MR?

About two days ago, someone spotted an under construction store at Indonesia's Pasaraya Blok M – a shopping center in Jakarta – with a sign that says "Apple Store Open: 16 Juni 2013" complete with Apple's logo on it (pictured above). We've known for quite a while that Apple is indeed going to open an office and perhaps a store too, so will this be the company's first official Apple Store in the country? Most probably not.
Aulia Masna, chief editor of DailySocial and former editor in chief of Macworld Indonesia argues (as quoted by Kompas) that there are a lot of details that the upcoming store misses. First is that the announcement uses Arial font, which is not the kind of font Apple usually use for its ads. According to AppleGazette, Apple uses Myriad Pro Semibold font.
The second obvious fact is that the store mixes both Indonesian and English language in its announcement. The month of "Juni" is in Indonesian, and Apple wouldn't do that.
Third mistake is that the sign gives away too much information. IfoAppleStore explains that Apple only acknowledges the location of an upcoming store about seven to 10 days prior to the grand opening – and that's usually accompanied by an announcement on the retail section of Apple's site. This store is months away from completion.
Fourth, an Apple official store should have a minimum of 2,000 square meters of space, and the one at Pasaraya is much smaller than that, having around 100 meter squares. Furthermore, Apple wouldn't open its first official store at a place like Blok M. I don't have anything against the place, it's just that you won't find wealthier Indonesians at that mall. A better spot for an official Apple Store would be Pacific Place mall which has a Lamborghini store on the ground floor.
The last mistake, which comes to be the most obvious one too, is the fact that the upcoming Indonesian Apple Store is using a cheap banner. No way does it look like the kind of banners that Apple uses for its upcoming official store announcements (pictured above).
So this looks like an authorized (or unauthorized) reseller of Apple gear, and they are trying to get as much attention from this stunt as possible. And it worked.
As in many other developing countries, there are a lot of intellectual property infringements happening in Indonesia. Should Apple do something about this over-zealous usage of Apple's logo, Aulia believes the reseller will be issued with a cease and desist order, and will need to have the sign replaced.
Whatever happens, there's no such thing as bad publicity, right?

New York's next governor, Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, visited the State Fair on Sept. 1, but he declined the traditional tour with the fair's director, Dan O'Hara. Cuomo's reticence to hang with fellow Democrat O'Hara stems from the ongoing state investigation into all manner of wheeling and dealing at the annual expo, dating back to the tenure of Peter Cappuccilli Jr., a Republican.
On Aug. 31, Cuomo's office announced it's launching a criminal probe into Cappuccilli's administration of the fair from 1995 to 2005. A recent state inspector general's report alleged that Cappuccilli misused $860,000, including $78,000 to pay for parties, holiday cards and his daughter's weddings.
The inspector general's report also found that under O'Hara's leadership the State Fair and Department of Agriculture and Markets officials violated state laws by signing no-bid contracts with concert promoter Live Nation in 2008 and Fight Night promoter Classic Entertainment and Sports Inc. last year.
Let's hope the Democrat attorney general looks into those shenanigans as well, rather than focusing only on the Republican. Cuomo's reluctance to tour the fair with O'Hara may mean exactly that.
Instead of appearing with O'Hara here Sept. 1, Mario Cuomo's kid munched on sausage sandwiches with Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner.
Teachers balk at Cuomo coronation
The New York State United Teachers refuse to endorse Andrew Cuomo for governor.
That should tell voters something. Teachers and retired teachers claim a huge share of the budgets of school districts across the state. As a result, school districts levy one of the heaviest taxes on property state-wide. If New York voters really want tax relief, they'd be wise to oppose anything that the teachers' union supports.
NYSUT's snit with Democrat Cuomo should be a major boost to his campaign among voters, those who don't work as teachers, that is ...
