If you haven't heard of Bei Badgirl then you've been living under a rock. Okay so maybe I am biased (you see Bei Badgirl is my cousin. For real). Nonetheless she a talented artist who has been making amazing art for a few years now (see below for past and present works) and in less than a month Bei will be jetting off to Los Angeles for a exhibition called Sweet Streets, an exhibition of artworks inspired by Japanese street fashion. I'm so thrilled for her, she's come so far in the last couple of years. If you're in Sydney check out exhibition currently at Urban Uprising Gallery at 314 Crown Street, Darlinghurst which is on now.
Bei's main subject is glittery glam bombshell misfits. She credits hello
kitty, big bows, cake, and "a love/hate relationship" with the art of fafi
among her inspirations. Inspired by all that glitters, her ultra-girly work explores the notions of sex and excess, obsession, indulgence and the concept of falling in love with imaginary things. Blending her daily routines and sugar-sweet addictions, her work is an overflow of all that is criminally dear to her.
"Fall in love with imaginary things" by visiting
bei's artworks online at twitter, facebook, and myspace.
Bei Badgirl is inspired by Fafi and Junko Mizuno (above)

Since I never got an answer I can assume you are not a certified farreir which means you should not be messing with other peoples horses feet....particularly one that is sick!!
You and your friend may have invalidated any medical/life insurance if there was any on the horse.
You may have also set yourself up for a liability law suit!
I didn't answer you because I didn't want to get into that conversation - aaand I still don't, I already knew what you were going to say and it doesn't change anything or add to the conversation. Also I don't know what you think we're dealing with here insurance wise but this horse was $35, and that was just to cover last month's farrier visit cost. So, no man I'm not a farrier. The woman who taught me was also not a certified farrier, she was just a barefoot trimmer. She is a phone call away if I run into problems.

Hey, so I have a couple of quilting cottons in the stash that I bought for my girls. They have definite Fall tones to them, but around here (Vancouver, BC), it is too chilly for clothes made of quilting cotton most of the year.
I have been thinking about underlining the quilting cotton with a wool or wool blend - something firm, not spongy. Of course I would pre-shrink it and then use a lining fabric to keep the clothes from itching or sticking.
What do you think?
I guess it would depend on what you were making. Did you have patterns/garments in mind? Have you thought about using flannel instead? If you had a lining of a good warm flannel you might be able to forgo the flatlining and not risk the garments being too bulky or restrictive. (I'm thinking for tops or dresses; a jacket or a vest or something would stand up to a thicker flatlining.)
------~Gem in the prairie
I made this light swing coat several years ago,using batiks, marbled and hand-dyed fabrics, using an old flannel sheet as the middle, and another batik as the lining. It's just right for cool days, and very light. It was also my first experience with the Hologram thread. I found that works a lot better for me in the bobbin than in the top, so quilted the pieced fabric to the flannel sheet, marking the spiral quilting on the flannel and quilting from the back, then added the batik lining after. I'm not much of a garment sewing person, but thought it was a nice use of the batik panel on the back. It was juried in to the Houston show years ago, which made me SO happy. :) -- Edited on 10/29/11 12:54 PM --
------Pat in Rockport, TX
"As ye sew, so shall ye rip."
I live on Vancouver Island. The only thing I would consider lining if it was made out of quilting cotton is pants and only then if I knew the kids would be wearing them outside more than in.
You can wear an undershirt under shirts and dresses, tights too.
When it gets really cold (rarely here on the Coast), I put tights on the kids, under their pants. I find tights are warmer than long underwear for little ones, and you do not have a gap between the sock and underwear.
My whole family layers in winter.
------Proud parent of a Dwight International School Honour Roll Student
I think this is a fabulous idea! I made this jacket with two quilting cottons and a flannel interlining. It fit fine, until I washed it, when it shrank (I didn't preshrink the flannel--dummy me!)
------"Play the cards you are dealt, but choose who is sitting at the table"..AARP magazine
SEE MY ETSY SHOP HERE: http://www.etsy.com/shop/AuntMaymesAttic
My blog: http://auntmaymesattic.wordpress.com/
I definitely wouldn't line with wool. Too scratch for most. I would underline with either a well washed flannel or some muslin. If you use the muslin, you need to use a warm lining like Kasha that is made specifically to fight the cold and not just be beauitful, which it is.
popping back in to reply...
So, I decided that wool is too expensive and too tricky to launder given that this was for a child's dress. I made a muslin of the dress out of an old sheet (I buy ugly ones from thrift stores for this purpose) and then used the muslin to underline the quilting cotton. I then lined the dress with Bemberg rayon.
The underlining does change the hand of the garment, but then again, quilting cotton wasn't ever going to drape beautifully anyway.
My daughter does like the dress. She is incredibly thin and thus lives in layers. We do shirts and tights and leggings under most outfits, but even then I find that a dress made of one layer of quilting cotton to be seasonally inappropriate. It doesn't get terribly cold here, but it is damp and grey a lot, which makes a person long for cozy clothing.

End of discussion? Not necessarily.
But those prohibitions might be open to legal challenge, and it's not clear what would happen if Schwarzenegger or another foreign-born candidate decided to run, several legal scholars said.
"The law is very clear, but it's not 100 percent clear that the courts would enforce that law rather than leave it to the political process," said Columbia University Law School professor Michael Dorf, an expert in constitutional law.
Yale Law School professor Jack Balkin said Schwarzenegger "can run every four years if he wants, he's just not eligible" to hold either office.
But "I don't think it's ever been tested in the courts," added Balkin, who thinks the "terrible rule" should be dropped.
Aides to Schwarzenegger, who became a citizen in 1983, said the issue isn't commanding his attention. Political advisers, however, have examined it and concluded he's ineligible for either office.
He'll "leave those questions to constitutional scholars and the chatter class," said spokesman Adam Mendelsohn.
With America growing increasingly diverse, Schwarzenegger's election in 2003 helped bring about a fresh examination of the qualifications to hold the presidency and vice presidency. A joint resolution introduced in Congress in 2004 would have extended eligibility for the presidency to immigrants who have held U.S. citizenship for at least 20 years.
The Constitution states that "No person except a natural born citizen ... shall be eligible to the office of president." And the 12th Amendment says that no candidate "constitutionally ineligible" to be president can serve as vice president.
Just this week, Bloomberg talked playfully about forming a presidential ticket with California's actor-governor.
"There would be a fight to see who would be the presidential candidate and who would be the vice presidential candidate," Bloomberg quipped. "He would want to arm wrestle for the top spot; I would want to check the Constitution."
Nate Persily, who teaches law at Columbia, said a Schwarzenegger candidacy could open a tangle of questions that touch on ballot-access laws, the Electoral College and legal jurisdiction.
"Even if Schwarzenegger is ineligible to be vice president ... can he nevertheless appear on the ballot?" Persily asked. The 12th Amendment, he added, "says what it does."
Kareem Crayton, who teaches law and politics at University of Southern California Law School, said that because Schwarzenegger was not born in the country, it's generally assumed he can't run.
But without a definitive ruling, "it's not a rock-solid, closed question," Crayton added.

US drone strikes kill 23 Afghans in 48 hours
Four separate US drone attacks have claimed the lives of nearly two dozen people in different regions of the war-ravaged Afghanistan over the past 48 hours, local security sources say. According to local Afghan officials, at least ten people were killed as two airstrikes ripped through the eastern Kunar Province near the border with Pakistan. Also on Friday, two people lost their lives in a similar attack in Nuristan Province. Earlier, eleven people died and scores more were wounded in the southern province of Kandahar. Washington claims its drone attacks target militants. But, reports on the ground say civilians frequently fall victims to such attacks as well as US-led nighttime raids. Many civilians have lost their lives in US-led strikes and operations in various parts of Afghanistan over the past decade, with Afghans becoming increasingly outraged at the seemingly endless number of the deadly assaults. The Afghan government has on numerous occasions warned Washington to stop attacks on innocent civilians. Civilian casualties caused by foreign forces have been a major source of tension between Kabul and Washington. The United States and its allies invaded Afghanistan in 2001 as part of Washington's so-called war on terror. The offensive removed the Taliban from power, but insecurity remains high in the country. US drone strikes have escalated significantly over the past year, fueling anti-American sentiments in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. The United Nations says the US-operated drone strikes pose a growing challenge to the international rule of law. Philip Alston, UN Special Envoy on extrajudicial killings, said in a report in late October 2010 that the attacks were undermining the rules designed to protect the right of life. JR/SS

|Troop 103 had a summer filled with opportunities for adventure, excitement, and exploration. The Scouts were exposed to whitewater rafting, earned multiple
merit badges at summer camp, refined their fishing and canoeing skills in Canada, and learned about coal mining.In June, Troop 103 traveled to River Riders in West Virginia to experience the thrills and spills among the rapids on the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers.
Because we had experienced so much rain the week prior to the trip, the rapids were even more thrilling than expected. After the morning of riding the
rapids, the Troop went to Harpers Ferry National Historical Park to see Under Fire: The Battle of Bolivar Heights and heard an explanation of the battle
along with a demonstration of cannon fire. It was interesting to hear how accurate the cannons could be and deafening to hear the actual explosion.
Nine Scouts attend summer camp in July at Camp Rodney in North East, MD. Those nine Scouts earned a total of 29 merit badges during the week and worked
After being home from camp for one night, the Scouts left for another trip to Puzzle Lake in Canada. It was a long drive, but well worth the trip to be so
In August the Troop went camping at Knoebles Amusement Park and visited the Pioneer Coal Mine in Ashland PA. The Scouts enjoyed the rides and Knoebles, but
The Scouts of Troop 103 are thankful for the many opportunities that were afforded to them over the summer months and look forward to many more adventures
St. Joseph Boy Scout Troop 103 is proud to served the greater Hanover Area since 1918. We provide outdoor fun, adventure, leadership, advancement and achievement for area youth. The Troop meets every Tuesday night at 7:00 PM at St. Joseph Middle School on Grandview Road, Hanover.

Troop and Pack 103 participated in the Hanover Area Memorial Day Parade to honor those who died while serving our country in the military.
Eagle Scout Clint Wright — 05/20/2014
Troop 103 Scouts, Parents, Committee and Friends,
Last evening (5/20/2014) Troop 103 Life Scout & Junior Assistant Scoutmaster Clint Wright was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout, becoming Troop 103′s 81st Eagle Scout. Clint's Eagle Scout Service Project involved leading others in creating and installing new signs on the Mary Ann Furnace Trail at Codorus State Park, as well as clearing and widening the trails and taking steps to control water erosion. Clint will be entering his senior year at Southwest High School in the fall. He hopes to continue his wrestling career in college, where he expects to major in political science en route to a career as a political analyst and/or campaign manager. Please join me in congratulating Clint and in thanking the beneficiary organization (Codorus State Park), the Exchange Club of Hanover and other donors, family members, friends, leaders, scouts and others who helped make these accomplishments possible.
Jeffrey Rosenzweig, Scoutmaster

Thalia Book Club Camp
Last week I visited with the talented, friendly and inquisitive readers and writers at Symphony Space's Thalia Book Club Camp. Was a good time had by all? Well…a good time was had by me, at least. I hope everyone else enjoyed my stories and evasive answers!
Check out the entire gang I was lucky enough to meet and click through for an account of the day. It's a fantastic take on summer camp and I encourage any young folks in the NYC area to apply:
And if you're an author in the metropolitan region, do what you can to get involved!

I am trying to change the color of my navbar and also the tabs on the navbar. I can view in the page source in the browser, but cannot find the folder that contains the coding that will allow me to alter the navbar color.
I have also been attempting to change the tabs on the navbar and thought I could accomplish this by changing the page names, but all that does is erase the current tabs I have in the navbar.
I would really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.

The only remotely negative thing I would say regarding my stay was that the bed was a bit creaky when turning during the night but other than that the bed itself was comfy.
The stay was very good and the staff were very friendly in terms of anything I needed.

Did you know that Heidi Klum – you know the one who goes "One day you're in, the next you're out" in a ridiculously serious voice in every episode of Project Runway – is the second highest earning model after Gisele? Nope, us neither. But, according to an interview with Ms Klum in this weekend's Saturday Times, she made $20 million last year, way more than Britain's best-known supermodel Kate Moss who only raked in $9 million. Intriguing!
So what else did we learn about the model we'd always kind of thought was most famous for renewing her wedding vows with Seal every year? Quite a few things actually…
She had insecurities like the rest of us:
"I wasn't thin enough, tall enough, edgy enough," she says of knowing what model agents thought of her early on. "I was always the big commercial girl. I did hair campaigns. There were big-name models like Claudia and Naomi and I understood if I wanted to do cooler, more creative things I had to find her own path."
Her disciplinarianism – both on TV and with her kids – is probably down to her father hitting her as a child:
"He was pretty strict, like 'As long as your feet are under my table you have to listen to what I say.' I was scared of him. That's what the hitting was for."
And she's equally strict with her own kids:
"I have four kids. I have to be [strict] otherwise they rule you because there are more of them," she says of giving her kids each $1 in the morning if they drink a healthy smoothie she makes them. "Some parents may think that's wrong, but at least I know they've eaten something healthy."
She's divorced Seal and is now with her boyfriend – but don't expect them to get married:
"When I got married the first time [to Ric Pipino in 1997] I was 23 and it was always this dream to get married and wear this white dress. I was married for six years and it didn't work out… I have been there, worn this dress, dreamt that dream. I'm happy now that I don't have to have that again."
Being too big for sample sizes in her early castings taught her what a model needs to do to survive:
"I learnt that I couldn't eat muffins and spaghetti bolognase every day. I had to have great hair, great nails. I had to stop picking my pimples. I had to have enough sleep and be on time."
And her beauty regime remains equally intense today:
"The roots grow really fast," she says of her natural brunette hair – which is why she dyes the roots every three weeks. And runs and swims daily.
Exhausting. But probably the reason she's the second highest-earning model in the world. And we're not.

Mel Torme gives Barbara McNair some mighty big props in the notes to this one – and hearing the set, we certainly have to agree! The record may well be McNair's most dramatic of the 60s – still a mix of vocal and jazz styles with a touch of soul – but also done with a bit more dynamism in the arrangements, and sung in a bold, powerful voice that's quite different from some of her more easy-going Motown recordings of later years. A good portion of the work here is from 60s shows, but Barbara sings the tunes with a personal style that gets past their roots – and backings are by Ralph Carmichael, in a way that's sweet one minute, swinging the next! Titles include "The Best Is Yet To Come", "My Love Is A Wanderer", "The Friendliest Thing", "On The Other Side Of The Tracks", "If Love Ain't There", and "For Lonesome Me".

We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Information Security Analysts may progress into high-paying roles like IT Security Architect, where median compensation is $114K annually. More often than not, an Information Security Manager role is the next step for Information Security Analysts moving up in the field. Information Security Managers usually make $105K per year. Many other Information Security Analysts choose to take on a Security Analyst role, where salaries are typically $66K.
Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) offers the largest salaries in town ($95K on average), but the considerable range in workers' salaries creates a rather varied pay scale that stretches from $51K to $117K.
General Dynamics Information Technology Inc reports the lowest median salary in the area (it's only $73K) but some workers make up to $129K, indicating a rather large gap in employee earnings.
Survey results imply that Information Security Analysts deploy a deep pool of skills on the job. Most notably, skills in Forensics, Project Management, Security Risk Management, and Security Testing and Auditing are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 6 percent and 12 percent. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Information Technology Support and Network Management / Administration. Those with knowledge of Computer Security tend to be skilled in IT Security & Infrastructure as well.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
The average beginner in this position makes around $64K, but folks who have been around for five to 10 years see a markedly higher median salary of $80K. After working for 10 to 20 years, Information Security Analysts make a median salary of $91K. People who have worked for more than 20 years report a median income no higher than the median for folks with 10 to 20 years of experience.
Tampa offers some of the highest pay in the country for Information Security Analysts, 32 percent above the national average. Information Security Analysts will also find cushy salaries in Seattle (+22 percent), New York (+16 percent), Washington (+12 percent), and Arlington (+12 percent). San Antonio is the lowest-paying area, 9 percent south of the national average. Below-median salaries also turn up in Denver and Atlanta (8 percent lower and 6 percent lower, respectively).

Time changed for meeting with BP claims czar
Published: Monday, July 12, 2010 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 12, 2010 at 11:27 p.m.
HOUMA — The start time has changed for a public meeting Thursday in Houma with the claims chief for the BP oil disaster.
Kenneth Feinberg, President Barack Obama's hand-picked claims administrator, will meet with residents at 11:30 a.m. at the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center, 346 Civic Center Blvd.
The meeting is open to anyone who thinks they might have a claim to show up for the meeting he's scheduled to oversee. This can include grocery store and restaurant workers, as well as commercial fishermen and oilfield workers.
Feinberg will provide information and answer questions about the claims process and eligibility requirements, parish officials have said.
The Washington-based lawyer is handling the $20 billion escrow fund BP set up for victims of the April 20 explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, which killed 11 workers and caused the nation's worst single oil leak.

Almost perfect for day to day use Cloud Storage :)
by Renan Prasta Jenie on
- Cloud Storage + RSS + Mail + Task + Calendar, which basically all I need in a package :)
- Can add multi media player too. Too heavy for my poor server though. T T
- Easy to use. :)
[Purist, OK, they need to be installed separately by in app menu. :)]
- Slo~w. Webdav based, so it really slo~w when your data is massively numbered, like, 500 000 files, compared to RSync based file transfer.
- Problem arise when you copy the data directly to server, like using FTP. T T
- Should be easy to cluster on paper. Just install separate instance in separate CPUs and point to the same database. I havent tried it. :)

Open Source alternative to DropBox
by Daniel Lopez on
OwnCloud is an open source alternative to Box and DropBox. It is not as easy to use or full-featured (though Bitnami helps with the installation part!) but has the critical feature that can be implemented entirely on-premise, addressing the concerns about privacy and data ownership from larger organizations.

Welcome to our SSLS EFRC
Sandia National Laboratories is home to one of the 46 multi-million dollar Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs) funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science. These Centers integrate the talents and expertise of leading scientists in a setting designed: to accelerate basic and advanced discovery research; and to establish the scientific foundation for a fundamentally new U.S. energy economy that enhances U.S. energy security and protects the global environment in the century ahead.
Our own EFRC is focused on solid-state lighting science. Solid-state lighting (SSL) is simply the use of solid-state devices, like light-emitting diodes, or like the lasers which are illuminating the frosted white post in the left graphic shown above, to produce white light for general illumination. The goal of our SSLS EFRC is to help build the scientific foundation that enables solid-state lighting to produce the most light for the least energy, both in the U.S. and, as a side-benefit, throughout the world.
A Brief History of Artificial Lighting Technology
As discussed in "Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) for General Illumination, Update 2002, An OIDA Technology Roadmap" (co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, and the Optoelectronic Industry Development Association), artificial lighting technologies are substitutes for sunlight in the 425-675 nm spectral region where sunlight is most concentrated and to which the human eye has evolved to be most sensitive. The history of lighting can be viewed as the development of increasingly efficient technologies for creating visible light inside, but not wasted light outside, of that spectral region.
The three traditional technologies are Fire, Incandescence, Fluorescence; Solid-State Lighting constitutes a new, fourth technology. These four technologies can be differentiated by the type of material (gas or solid) that emits the light, by the spectral bandwidth (broadband blackbody or narrowband) of the light emission, and by the fuel (chemical or electrical) used to create the light. These differences, in turn, have consequences on the fundamental efficiencies of the technologies.
A Brief History of Solid-State Lighting Technology
Semiconductor electroluminescence was first reported by H.J. Round in 1907, and the first light-emitting diode (LED) was reported by O.V. Losev in 1927. Not until the birth of semiconductor physics in the 1940s and 1950s, however, was scientific development of technologies for light emission possible.
For solid-state lighting, the use of semiconductor electroluminescence to produce visible light for illumination, the seminal advances were: first, the demonstration of red light emission by N. Holonyak in 1962; and, second, the demonstration of a bright blue LED by S. Nakamura in 1993, along with earlier materials advances by I. Akasaki and H. Amano. Here, we briefly discuss these two advances and their subsequent evolution; more details can be found in "Light Emitting Diodes" and in "Solid-state lighting: 'The case' 10 years after and future prospects."
Solid-State Lighting Technology: Current State of the Art and Grand Challenges
The graphic on the left shows the anatomy of a state-of-the-art white solid-state lamp; and the graphic on the right shows in the black curve the spectral power density of the light that it emits. The lamp is basically a blue LED coated with green and red phosphors. Some of the blue light leaks through the phosphors, so you see this relatively narrower peak here in the blue part of the spectral power density. But some of the blue light is absorbed by the phosphors and is re-emitted as green and red light, so you see these two relatively wider peaks here in the green and red parts of the spectral power density. The combination of blue, green and red gives a white light that renders fairly faithfully colors of objects in the environment around us.
The efficiency of this state-of-the-art SSL lamp is about 20-25%, slightly better than that of a fluorescent lamp, but far from the 50-100% efficiency that is in principal possible. Why is this? We can see why by looking at the three sub-efficiencies associated with the lamp.
Our EFRC: helping advance the scientific foundation that enables major improvements in efficiency
The goal of our SSLS EFRC is not to work on advancing the technology itself; that is something that industry is extremely good at. Our goal instead is to help advance the scientific foundation that underlies current and potential-future SSL technology so that all of these sub-efficiencies can be improved. We do this through seven Scientific Research Challenges discussed in more detail elsewhere in this website. Very briefly, these are:
- Scientific Research Challenge 0: Overarching and Spill-Over Research
- Scientific Research Challenge 1: Nanowires
- Scientific Research Challenge 2: Quantum Dots and Phosphors
- Scientific Research Challenge 3: Competing Radiative and Non-Radiative Processes
- Scientific Research Challenge 4: Defect-Carrier Interactions
- Scientific Research Challenge 5: Enhanced Spontaneous Emission
- Scientific Research Challenge 6: Beyond Spontaneous Emission
These Scientific Research Challenges, again as discussed in more detail elsewhere in this website, have as common themes:
- Researching the fundamental mechanisms that limit energy efficiency in the current generation of SSL technology
- Exploring new, nanophotonic routes, such as nanowires, quantum dots, and lasers, to the conversion of electricity to light with the potential for much higher efficiencies.

Check out what happens when Drew Bezanson and Morgan Wade are given the opportunity to build and ride their dream course in the deep dark woods of South Wales.
For a few years Tim Knoll has been perfecting his unique form. Which seams to be a mixture of acrobatics, magic, and every type of BMX riding you could image. Tim uses anything and everything in his environment and despite the some of the corny trick, this video will leave you with a smile on your face.

What do you get when you combine the American Bike Association and National BMX League? You get the USA BMX. USA BMX has a very similar format to the United States of America Snowboard Association (USASA) – riders compete in various point series races to accumulate enough points to qualify for regional, state, and national level races.
You might already know that Drew Bezanson is insane, but has the skills to back it up! This kid is truly pushing limits of what you can do on a BMX bike. Here are a few clips from the final heat of the pro division in the toronto bmx jam 2012…..pure insanity. The footage is not of the highest quality, but it is still worth watching.
Red Bull Dream Line Dirt BMX contest was held at Coffee Mill Ski Resort in Wabasha, MN this past weekend. Red Bull gave Anthony Napolitan and his team of builders the necessary resources to make their dream lime come true. They were able to build a custom dirt trail course out of the ski resort. No one knew that they were building this course in the middle of nowhere Minnesota a few months ago. To their surprise no one touched the course until they got there last week. Friday was the first day of the comp 16 of the top dirt riders came out to ride the course. There were two different heats with 8 riders in heat. Each heat all the riders had a one hour runs, within that hour each rider gets to ride as many runs as they could. The judging the contest were the riders.
Only 8 made it to the finals. Those 8 are

NEW YORK — Talent-competition show "America's Got Talent" doesn't premiere until May 14, but hundreds of fans came out to see tapings of the show in New York this week. When MTV News spoke to fans waiting to go into an audition taping Thursday afternoon (April 12), most said they were there because they're fans of new judge Howard Stern, and some admitted they'd never even seen "AGT."
"He was honest and said exactly what the audience was thinking, and I think it's going to add a big thing to the show," Adam Lichtenstein, a fan so impressed by Stern he returned for a second day of taping, told MTV News. "Going into the show, we expected Howard to be a little bit mean, but he was honest, exactly like he was on the radio, and he didn't let down."
Since the announcement came in December that Stern will be taking the place of Piers Morgan on the show, viewers have had mixed reactions , but most seem eager to check out his judging style.
Joey Boots, a frequent contributor on Stern's Sirius XM radio show, weighed in on what Howard will be like as a judge. "He's been judging on his show for all these years, but a lot of people haven't tuned in to the Howard Stern show because they hear how raunchy it can be. Now that he's with 'AGT,' people are going to see how honest he is as a judge."
Howard's new place at the table may mean his loyal fanbase could get even bigger. Boots observed people's opinions change at the first show tapings. "I already talked to people before they've gone in talking about, 'Oh, I don't like Howard Stern,' but after they come out they're like, 'I love the guy.' To see that is great and I think that's great for America, it's great for Howard Stern and it's great for 'America's Got Talent.' "
When it came to how Howard might get along with fellow judges Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel, Boots admitted things might get rocky.
"I'm sure there's going to be arguing going on because he's going to keep it real, and part of that is disagreeing with each other and I know that there's gonna be a lot of disagreements, but it's good. Hopefully everybody just keeps it real. That's Howard's motto."
With an unprecedented amount of talent-based reality shows hitting the small screen these days, it's Stern's straightforward style that might ultimately keep viewers turning in. "That's what a show like this needs. Not somebody that's going to be pressured like, 'Oh, I'm gonna vote him in because I feel sorry for him.' I don't want somebody voted in favor of because they might be old or something, or it's a little kid. Hey, if you're not talented, get off the stage!"
How do you think Howard Stern will be as a judge on "America's Got Talent"? Leave your comment below!

SAXON with special quests Anvil – Club Nosturi, HELSINKI
with very special guests
04.12 2011
The British NWOBHM legends, Saxon, released their 19th studio album CALL TO ARMS in May 2011 and they have been touring heavily across the globe. Although the band had been annual visitors to Finland, they now played their first show in Helsinki in four years! The support band for this leg of tour was Canadian metal band Anvil. It seems that there's a great demand for these classic bands in Finland as this show sold out with the 1000 person capacity reached right after tickets came on sale.

OLIVER/DAWSON SAXON – Graham Oliver and Steve Dawson
GRAHAM OLIVER and STEVE DAWSON
In 1979 when the classic NWOBHM band SAXON was formed its ranks consisted of five members, singer Biff Byford, guitarist Paul Quinn, guitarist Graham Oliver, bassist Steve Dawson and drummer Pete Gill. Now, thirty years later only Byford and Quinn remain under the SAXON banner. However, Oliver and Dawson have since joined together to carry on their part of the SAXON legacy. First, in 1996, under the name SON OF A BITCH, with Pete Gill on drums, and later, mainly to appease the promoters, as OLIVER/DAWSON SAXON. Read on to learn, straight from two founding members of SAXON, about the various stages in the history of one of the most celebrated metal bands to have emerged from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, and the falling apart, piece by piece, of its classic lineup through the years.

Why marketers need a design strategy.
As the line from the film above goes, "If you build it, they will come."
Well come they might, but what if, after all the time and expense of strategy and planning, designing, and developing, they leave very soon after that and never return? Worse still, what if their experience was so terrible that they don't just leave and never come back, but also go out of their way to warn other potential customers off too.
This could be for any number of reasons, but my educated guess would be that it's happened because you've given little or no thought to what your potential customers need or want to do with your product, service, or content.
With that in mind, you need to make sure that any good experiences carry through everything else you are doing on, or offline, because the reality is that a poor user experience can destroy a good brand perception in an instant.
Remember the Motorola RAZR? Might be showing my age here, but it was a sweet looking phone right? It started the "thin" trend way back then and if, like me, you had one (along with, seemingly, the rest of the design and tech community), you'll remember what a terrible phone it was to use. The user interface (UI) problems that plagued it eventually led to 80 percent of RAZR owners saying they would never buy another Motorola1. I know I didn't.
What's the lesson here? Simply that it's all well and good designing something beautiful, but if you can't balance that beauty (form) with usable features (function), it will fail. Making sure that your product or service (whether that is a website, system/user interface, or smartphone app) is "useable" means, at a very base level, ensuring a positive user experience by making them all easy to use and matching them closely to the user needs and requirements.
This concept of "user-centric" design (design from the perspective of how it will be understood and used by a human user) is nothing new, but I am constantly bewildered by how few people take it as seriously as it should be taken. All too often I will interact with something that has obviously been designed with a focus on business goals, superfluous features, and technologies that do nothing to help me find what I am looking for, or do what I am trying to do. As an end-user of whatever it is you are offering - that is highly frustrating.
Your investment in user-centric design will ultimately translate to success in typical business metrics - more sales, better customer retention, and higher word of mouth referrals.
If You Fail to Plan, You Plan to Fail
The methodologies behind user-centered design, user experience design, and usability can work together to clearly define "who" it is you are trying to reach and "what" they want to do. Aligning these user goals to your business goals will go a long way to defining and delivering a successful product or service.
I'm sure your business has a clearly defined strategy and roadmap behind it, so why wouldn't you have one for whatever it is you are designing? A design strategy can be fairly simple and usually involves:
This way of planning according to the needs of your users and the behaviors they will display during your research and testing should lead to an overall great customer experience. It is this experience that will stand you apart from your competition, and this experience that will not just bring customers to you, but keep them with you.
Don't just stop at creating the experiences your customers want though – learn from them and always measure the success of what you do. Be reactive to the user trends and feedback and make sure to continually fine-tune your product or service accordingly.
In part two I will discuss more of the "how" than the "why" that I have here, and highlight some of the best methods to use when approaching your projects from a user-centric direction.
1 Mobile Magazine October 2006: "In the survey of 55 Motorola customers, 78 percent said they wouldn't buy a Motorola handset again, with the majority citing problems with usability. The figure was slightly higher among first-time Motorola users. As many as 85 percent of the 48 first-time Motorola users in the poll want to switch to another manufacturer."
"The sample survey was dominated by RAZR owners, who made up almost half of all those asked. The survey revealed that 80 percent of RAZR users wanted to jump ship to another manufacturer with their next purchase."

Re: College: Gender Studies
Just to comment on the original topic, it doesn't strike me as all that useful. There are some fields where it would help, but I suspect the number of jobs in those fields are quite limited. I would suggest looking into any job that makes use of the degree (if gender studies doesn't turn up many results, look at women's studies, which is often a similar degree). See if you would want to work at any of those jobs and start volunteering/interning at one at the same time you go for your degree.
If you don't want any of those jobs, that's fine. Intellectual development isn't a bad thing. But you should probably expect to get a job that doesn't have much to do with your education, like selling insurance.

My Dear Paul, Here is a message of sympathy and support in wishing you a speedy recovery, I really want to see you back out there playing snooker in the big tournaments, especially the World Championships at the Cruible in Sheffield where one day I would love to see you collect the World Champions trophy. I know you can win it
All my Love to you and stay positive

That is definitely not a good sign!
first they thought it was cancer of the colon, but I read in this morning's newspaper that it is now leukeamia which is cancer of the blood.

Um... I know I could probably find the answer to this myself, but it's a lot easier just to ask. And I'm sure one of you esteemed DeathList members will have the answers at your fingertips!
I quite like Paul Hunter, by the way. I always thought he was a bit of a snooker babe. Until he started wearing the alice band.

"Weltschmerz", a word that will always find favour in troubled times, and times are never untroubled.

I'm in doubt that anyone famous will die before the age ofYes is the answer, the youngest so far was Helen Rollason in '99,at age 40.
If Paul makes it through this year, gets onto the 2006 list, and then snuffs it, would he be the youngest successful DL nominee ever?

40 anytime soon. But there's always the bright side
to things.
Alot of these young actress's have been looking
awful thin lately.
