Patty in the Plaza Recap — Check Out Photos from Shreveport's Ultimate St. Patrick's Day Party
Mother Nature sent some rain to Shreveport-Bossier this weekend, but that didn't stop us from turning Festival Plaza into the place to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. We said Patty in the Plaza would go down rain or shine, and it did. When did a little rain stop Shreveport from having fun?
What's the Difference Between a Monday and Tuesday in Louisiana?

Metallica Rock Louisiana at New Orleans' Voodoo Music + Arts Experience Festival
Can we just say we had an absolute blast at the Voodoo Music + Arts Experience in New Orleans over the weekend? Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Coheed & Cambria, Tomahawk, Jack White and more all packed City Park for the 14th year of the fest. But the one band we were most excited about were Metallica. We've seen them before and we'll see them again, but this was definitely a unique experience for us.
Not very long ago, Metallica played what we thought was going to be their last show of 2012 at Outside Lands in San Francisco, Calif. We didn't get to make that show so we just figured we'd have to wait until 2013 to catch 'em. But then, after Billie Joe Armstrong announced he was entering rehab for alcoholism, we got the greatest early X-Mas gift ever: Metallica were announced as the new headliners for the second night of the Voodoo fest in place of Green Day!

I have an Asus M2N32 SLI deluxe motherboard with Gigabit Ethernet according to the specs. I'm running Windows 7, connecting to a Netgear WNDR3700 router (Gigabit capable). When I go into my speed / duplex settings for the card, the fastest it allows is 100 Mb/s. I have the latest drivers for the card. Why can't I set the card to run at full Gigabit speed ?
You can - just do nothing special at start and allow "Auto-Selection". If NetGear have gigabit , you'll see link negotiation at 1Gb (which doesn't mean you have automagically real 1Gbps speed also, but it's different and next theme)
Both the network interface in your computer and the interface on the router must support 1000Mbps. I suspect that whatever machine you're using only support 10/100 modes and not full 1000Mbps.
That router definitely does, so you'll need to look at the specs for the motherboard you're using to validate that it also supports 1000Mbps. Most products for home and small business users support auto-negotiation and have had 1000Mbps links for some time.
You do not say if you have other computers wired to your router, but assuming you do, if all the devices on your wired network are not capable of gigabit Ethernet then it is possible you will not be able to use gigabit Ethernet on any of your devices. For instance, if you have a gigabit Ethernet router with two gigabit Ethernet capable computers attached to it and one computer that is not capable of gigabit Ethernet, none of the devices will operate at gigabit speeds because the network speed would be set to the fastest speed of the slowest device. Some modern routers can bypass this requirement, but I'm not sure if yours does or not. To eliminate the chance that this is your problem test your connection speed with only gigabit Ethernet devices running on the network and see what happens.
Also, make sure your cable is gigabit Ethernet compliant.

Another test render with a new variation pack. Still has a lot of work to go though.
Good job!
This one would make a nice stained-glass window.
It is just wonderful.
ooohhhh fractalness
Beautiful result! If it's slow it's worth the wait
Details are great
so we might get some new plugins??????????
This makes my nerdy heart go pitter-patter. It is interesting how it looks like a printed circuit board.
Are the renders still extremely slow?
Molly : )
Are the renders still extremely slow?
Molly : )
Yes, it is slow. The code has an inverse hyperbolic cosine function which is slowing things way down. I'm not sure that there is much way around it.
Could you figure out what the Taylor series expansion (about zero) is, maybe the 3rd or 4th order and use that as an approximation?
It is good enough for engineering grad school : D

Wife, faith have helped Darryl Strawberry reach the high point in his life
WARR ACRES — Tracy Strawberry was unaware of Darryl Strawberry's celebrity status when they met at a Narcotics Anonymous convention.
To her, they were both addicts looking to recover. But even today, she still says he never really talks baseball.
"I've always loved the person, not the player," Tracy Strawberry said. "And he's always loved the fact that I love the person, not the player."
That, along with Darryl Strawberry's faith, aided his redemption.
In their 10th year traveling as ordained ministers, the couple shared their stories at six different services for Victory Church in Edmond, Warr Acres and Norman on Sunday.
"This is a calling," Darryl Strawberry said following his fifth service of the day. "Baseball was not a calling; baseball was a gift, playing basketball is a gift, playing football is a gift, playing golf is a gift.
"A calling from God is totally different because now you have the responsibility of going out and being led by the spirit of God to impact people's lives that are struggling."
Strawberry's troubles have been well documented. He went from a Major League Baseball superstar to drug addiction, prison and two battles with colon cancer.
And Sunday he told those in attendance how he hit his low points and how he is now at his high point.
Strawberry spoke of how he was first introduced to cocaine on his first major league road trip with the New York Mets, saying, "I wanted to fit in. That's just the reality of it."
He then spoke of the impact Tracy has had on him. She moved him from Florida to Missouri, despite him being hesitant. Eventually, she forced him to shape up.
"It was a place in my life where I had to come and deal with God," Strawberry said. "I came to that defining moment with God and I said, 'I am sorry, God.'"
But once the service ended, it quickly became apparent that Strawberry still serves as a baseball great with a meet-and-greet with fans.
"What I do think is so magnificent is how gracious are his fans," Tracy Strawberry said. "Just the excitement, even little children, and how people flock around him.
"He just considers it an honor. He's like they've been through so much with me and I want to give back to them, so it's pretty amazing to see in the platform that God has given him."

DOJ Sues Ferguson to Force Police Reform After City "Rejects" Consent DecreeWritten by Raven Clabough
Department of Justice Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced on Wednesday that the Justice Department is suing the city of Ferguson, Missouri, to force police reform after the city council rejected a costly deal negotiated by federal officials.
Obama's last budget can be summed up with the words of Harry Hopkins of the Roosevelt administration: "We will spend and spend, tax and tax, elect and elect." Some say he added, "The people are just too dumb to understand."
Now that gurus who follow historical economic trends have concluded that a Republican will win the presidency in 2016, those in the freedom fight can continue to work on what's important.

Okay... we have discovered that Comcast is offering some kick-ass older films in their pay-per-view section (Comcast is our local cable choice in the Northwest). Check out these movie soundtracks:
Soundtrack to Butch Cassidy And the Sundance Kid (Burt Bacharach): I saw this movie at a drive-in when I was probably 6 or 7 years old, and that's when I first encountered the genius of Burt Bacharach. We watched this flick last weekend - such a classic.
Sountrack to Shaft (Isaac Hayes): This record became the soundtrack of my life around 1988 for some reason. This was the same year as NWA's 'Straight Outta Compton' and Ice T's 'Power.' I secretly wanted to be O.G., and often pretended that I was!
Soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever (Bee Gees): It is rare these days for a singular group or artist to do a whole thematic sountrack. Is this because we are more interested in downloading singles these days, and not so much the idea of a 'journey'? Either way, THE BEE GEES RULE!

mysterious guitar? help me identify
can anyone identify this guitar?
i think it may be a danelectro?
Looks like the old Gretsch Filter-tron toaster pups. But it is prob a Danelectro.
I looks like a Gretsch custom Falcon to me. The sound hole and large pickguard are either custom or a diffrent model than a regular Falcon. Who's the dude playing it I could probably find out more if you know.
Maton Ave Bel Aire...I think...QOTSA dude plays one just like that
although that one does look like it has a bigger 335 type body. Other than that they look identical.
I thought Gretsch when I saw it, but the logo on the headstock is wrong. I don't believe it's a Danelectro logo either.
If you don't find out what it is, the Gretsch Falcon would probably be the closest you'll get to it though.
Just googled for the guy you said is in the pic, this was the first link:
The logo is still different to the pic you linked to, and the pickups look like standard humbuckers, but now you have a bit more to go on.
it looks like one of those MotorAve's, but the body seems bigger and the headstock seems to have a slightly different logo. they seem to be custom pieces though so that doesn't mean too much.
Guitarists name is Brendan Benson.

So sorry for your struggles Dear. I don't know how I am going to keep my chin up and not stress or freak out if or when I get pregnant with #4. I hope that I can find the strength and courage to keep moving forward, I hope you can too. Look, it could be worse.

Issues Concerning Implementation of a Revised Process for Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs
GGD-85-2: Published: Oct 17, 1984. Publicly Released: Oct 17, 1984.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
GAO reported on the early implementation of the revised process for intergovernmental review of federal programs which was designed to better foster an intergovernmental partnership.
GAO found that the new process relies on state and local governments to develop their own procedures for reviewing financial assistance and direct developments proposed by federal agencies. GAO identified several potential concerns: (1) the different perspectives of federal agencies and state governments as to which programs are covered by the revised process; (2) the different procedures established by the individual federal agencies for operating the review and comment process; and (3) some apparent inconsistencies between agencies' regulations implementing the process and provisions of the Demonstration Cities and Metropolitan Development Act of 1966. GAO believes that resolving these matters will help ensure that the new intergovernmental coordination process can operate as effectively and efficiently as possible.

Rosie the Producer, Navigating Broadway
By JESSE McKINLEY
Published: September 29, 2003
Last Monday morning Rosie O'Donnell put on her favorite yellow jacket and went on ''The View,'' ABC's popular morning chat show, to do what she does better than almost anybody in America: sell a Broadway show.
The scene was familiar. From its debut in 1996 to last year, when it went off the air, ''The Rosie O'Donnell Show'' was one of Broadway's most potent marketing tools, providing national exposure for dozens of shows dying for television time, a rarity for theater productions.
But last Monday Ms. O'Donnell was not on television selling someone else's production. She was selling her own: ''Taboo,'' a new musical with songs by the 1980's pop star Boy George, in which Ms. O'Donnell is the sole investor, putting up $10 million of her fortune to produce it.
While that alone would make her involvement remarkable -- most shows on Broadway get their money from dozens of smaller investors -- Ms. O'Donnell has also taken the risky step of casting herself as the principal draw for ''Taboo,'' using her brassy image and her reputation as an arbiter of suburban taste to lure audiences.
The campaign combines two of Ms. O'Donnell's abiding passions: big-time showmanship and small-time arts and crafts. The show's radio advertisements, for example, feature Ms. O'Donnell boldly predicting that the show will win a Tony Award. On Friday she went to Los Angeles to promote ''Taboo'' on ''The Tonight Show With Jay Leno,'' part of a preopening television blitz that will also include appearances on ''The Today Show,'' ''Dateline NBC'' and ''Access Hollywood.''
Ms. O'Donnell, who has never produced a Broadway show, has also made it clear that she has little use for traditional methods of Broadway marketing, preferring to use e-mail messages, for example, rather than direct mail. (A recent one featured Ms. O'Donnell modeling the show's cast jacket.)
Despite hiring one of Broadway's biggest advertising firms, Serino Coyne, Ms. O'Donnell has taken it upon herself to design and make thousands of promotional stickers on her personal computer, many featuring images from some 2,000 paintings she has done at home since quitting her show.
''For six years I sold everyone else's shows with great success,'' Ms. O'Donnell said. ''So I think the fact that I'm producing this and putting my money in it speaks volumes to people who for six years went to see Broadway shows based on my enthusiasm.''
That attitude has inspired more than a little skepticism from other Broadway producers, many of whom believe today's audiences, no longer enthralled by the reputations of legendary producers like David Merrick and Cameron Mackintosh, will not go go see a show simply because of its producer.
''The only producing entity that has ever sold a ticket on name alone is Disney, and Rosie is not Disney,'' said one producer, who like many in the superstitious, fishbowl world of Broadway would speak only on condition of anonymity. ''She's not in it, and she doesn't necessarily represent quality in the theater. She certainly attracts press attention, but I don't know if that translates to sales.''
Advance sales for ''Taboo,'' which opens Nov. 13 at the Plymouth Theater, have been weak, though this week there were signs that ticket-buyers were beginning to believe Ms. O'Donnell's pitch. What is certain is that Ms. O'Donnell has, by sheer force of her personality, made ''Taboo'' the show to watch this fall, whether it becomes a megahit, a colossal bomb or something in between.
''Rosie is obviously not someone afraid to take risks,'' Jed Bernstein, president of the League of American Theaters and Producers, said. ''And as much as the theater world takes comfort in its traditions and ways of doing things, it's pretty exciting when someone comes along to challenge those assumptions. But with any risk you can both fly high or crash hard.''
''Taboo'' is not an easy sell. The story of the wild excesses of the 1980's club scene in London, replete with sex, drugs and glam rock 'n' roll, the musical was a marginal hit in London during a 15-month run in 2001 and 2002. In addition to being its composer, Boy George also appears in the musical, as a character (played by Euan Morton) and as an actor, in the role of Leigh Bowery, the real-life fashion provocateur who died of AIDS in 1994.
In London ''Taboo'' played at a 300-seat theater, equivalent to a midsize Off Broadway theater. (One of the British producers, Adam Kenwright, is credited as a producer here, although he has little involvement in the New York production.) In New York Ms. O'Donnell is staging the show in the 1,078-seat Plymouth, with a top ticket price of $101.25. She says she has no fear about her bigger ambitions for the show.
''You know, it sounds so cocky to say I know it's great, but I know it's great,'' she said. As for the show's subject matter, she likes to compare it to Broadway smashes like ''Rent'' and ''Cabaret.''
Besides Serino Coyne, the advertising agency, and the show's press agent, the Barlow/Hartman company, Ms. O'Donnell has hired several established talents to translate the show to American audiences, including Charles Busch, who wrote downtown camp classics like ''Vampire Lesbians of Sodom'' and the recent Broadway hit ''The Tale of the Allergist's Wife.'' New songs have been added and other characters enhanced, including Big Sue (Liz McCartney), a stocky hanger-on who watches as Mr. Bowery self-destructs.

I have been going crazy trying to get this to work on a clean installation of ubuntu gnome 14.04. I have found the solution.
I then closed out firefox and then reopened. When I went back to http://addons.mozilla.org. I was able to install the extensions (The slider stayed in the on position. The extension did show up in the tweak tool after that. I hope this helps. I have read so many answers and tried so many things. I am just happy that I figured it out and I'm able to share it with everyone. Here is quick list of versions so you can verify against yours.
Clean install of Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 Firefox 34. Version that was installed during installation.
Manage Gnome and the shell extension
The GNOME extension aren't in official repository so you can use a PPA where you can download all of them;
These are a set of gnome shell extension :
What are PPAs and how do I use them?
Thx to http://www.webupd8.org/ for it PPA.
see this gnome-shell page-> https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/CheatSheet
Gnome-shell extensions can be installed from the Gnome-shell extensions web page. The site is: https://extensions.gnome.org/
To install an extension click on the extension and then you will go a page describing the extension.
In that page you can see a slider switch. Turn on the slider if you want to install the extension. Then you will see a prompt to install the extension.
The installed extensions can be managed from https://extensions.gnome.org/local/
The GNOME website has an Extensions section set up, which is currently in its Beta phase. It promises easy installation of extensions, and management of installed ones, through a web interface.

Art Attack
Yabroff, Jennie, Newsweek
Byline: Jennie Yabroff
We had spent the day at the Vatican, eavesdropping as tour guides explained how Michelangelo fudged the proportions on the Pieta, and were heading out for dinner when I started feeling sick. Had we been anywhere else, I would have chalked it up to too much pizza for lunch. But I was in Italy, and I'd been looking at art. Clearly I had Stendhal syndrome.
Stendhal syndrome isn't included in the draft version of the new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, released last month, but with proposed additions including "apathy syndrome" and Internet addiction, it's probably only a matter of time. The affliction takes its name from the 19th-century French writer, who was overcome after visiting Florence's Basilica di Santa Croce. In 1989 an Italian psychiatrist named Graziella Magherini published La Sindrome di Stendhal, describing more than 100 tourists who suffered dizziness and heart palpitations (some requiring hospitalization) after seeing the Florentine sights. According to Magherini, great art can make you sick.
Maybe I wasn't suffering a textbook case of Stendhal syndrome: I was in Rome, not Florence, and instead of swooning dramatically, I just had a stomachache. But I wanted to have Stendhal syndrome. The idea that one can be incapacitated by beauty is irresistible. In Chuck Palahniuk's novel Diary, a group of people paralyzed by paintings are killed by a fire at the exhibition. In the movie The Stendhal Syndrome, the hero pursues a serial rapist into Florence's Uffizi Gallery and promptly collapses, overwhelmed by the Caravaggios. …

MNBG-E's aviation company reaches for record-setting maintenance
July 15, 2014
By Capt. Kevin Sandell, 11th Public Affairs Detachment
Related Links
CAMP BONDSTEEL, Kosovo (July 15, 2014) -- It was an uncommon sight in Kosovo. Eight UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters soared in a formation above the Kosovo countryside, June 28.
While significant, the flight was only achievable through the higher efforts of 45 aircraft repairers and technicians within the aviation maintenance company for Multinational Battle Group-East's Southern Command Post, who worked tirelessly to ensure the battle group's helicopters are consistently maintained.
For the company commander, the special flight was an opportunity to recognize the unit's accomplishments in boosting the readiness of all assigned aircraft.
"Our goal coming into this deployment was to improve the readiness rate of the aircraft, streamline parts ordering and have aviation assets available to the commanders as much as possible," said Capt. Curtis Rubendall, commander of B Company, 248th Aviation Support Battalion, Iowa Army National Guard. "The flight was the culmination of planning and execution of maintenance by the flight companies and our company to have everything aligned to make it possible."
The maintenance company is headquartered in Boone, Iowa, and is comprised of power plant repair, sheet metal, prop and rotor, quality control, technical supply, production control, avionics and ground support equipment sections.
Rubendall said since the helicopters are a frequently-used asset throughout Kosovo, their upkeep is critical, and it is their responsibility to provide safe aircraft to each of the two flight companies.
"Our company's role is to provide the SCP's flight companies safe, mechanically sound aircraft to conduct their missions," Rubendall said. "Our goal is [also] to provide a high-quality product to the commanders that enable them to execute every mission that is required of MNBG-E and the SCP."
The helicopters mechanics have exceeded many key milestones that were achieved by their Kosovo Force predecessors. B Company has increased the percentage of flying hours, an hour allocation that aviation units can fly, by over 17 percent from previous rotations. They also have to balance keeping aircraft mission capable when other aircraft are in phased maintenance, a process called bank time. The company's record in balancing mission- capable aircraft with aircraft in maintenance has also increased nearly 35 percent.
To accomplish their mission, the aviation mechanics and technicians must often work demanding schedules, in some cases, 24-hour shifts. Staff Sgt. Alton Poole, maintenance noncommissioned officer-in-charge, said typical days vary based on the workload.
"The workload is sporadic at times. However, the team maintains a relatively high operation tempo throughout the week considering the flying program," said Poole, an Ames, Iowa native. "There are days the Soldiers conclude maintenance early, but that is usually after putting in 14 to 16 hours of work the day prior."
Poole added challenges do exist, however, in supplying the repair parts needed for aircraft maintenance, and that a simple missing part can make-or-break the rigorous company maintenance schedules.
"We are sometimes faced with the challenge of acquiring the proper parts and tools necessary to perform a task. [It] becomes a challenge when there is a mission that [requires] the aircraft, but either the tool or equipment needed is not available," Poole said.
Being in Kosovo, in a land-locked region, presents many difficulties for resupplying repair parts, but the company works through those issues by persistent maintenance checks, Poole said.
Master Sgt. Anthony Aspengren, the company first sergeant, credited his unit with having a dedicated team of Soldiers whose selflessness is always evident.
"I am very proud to be a part of an outstanding organization. [The company] has a rich history of excellence. Our Midwest hard-work ethic has always helped us with our success in providing safe and reliable helicopters for our customers," Aspengren, a Boone, Iowa native, said.
Deploying to Kosovo and seeing firsthand the impact of their mission on the Kosovo people, Poole said it is an honor to be part of the larger picture in Kosovo, and he appreciates the gratitude shown throughout the region.
"It's not about me. I am more than grateful to have an opportunity to assist," Poole said.
Rubendall echoed the feeling, and said the company's mission ensures safety and security throughout Kosovo and ultimately helps the Kosovo people.
"Here you can meet the people that it affects the most. Hearing their stories, knowing that what we're doing here has some meaning and affects so many is an experience that you can't help but be proud of," Rubendall said. "It is an honor to be a part of a mission that ensures the safety of a people and will allow them better opportunities to make a brighter future for themselves."

great layering piece.
I use this hooded rashy bodysurfing, or should I say attempting to bodysurf since Long Island has been virtually wave free this fall.Liked the generous long sleeve length and the convenient thumb loops which facilitate getting into your wetsuit.The hood allows use of another neoprene cap underneath for even colder conditions.Have had problems in past with hoods shifting around in bigger surf or being ripped off. This integrated design solves that problem as well as thwarting the dreaded icy cold water down your neck.

On the Execution of Music, and Principally, of Ancient Music
by M. Camille Saint-Saens
Book Reviews
Book Description
The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book:
On the Execution of Music In the last century when it was desired to restore Plain Song to its primitive purity, one met with insurmountable obstacles due to its prodigious prolixity of long series of notes, repeating indefinitely the same musical forms; but in considering this in the light of explanations given by St. Isidore, and in view of the Oriental origin of the Christian religion, we are led to infer that these long series of notes were chants or vocalizations analogous to the songs of the Muezzins of the Orient. At the beginning of the sixteenth century musical laws began to be elaborated without, however, in this evolution towards modern tonal art, departing entirely from all influence of the antique methods. The school named after Palestrina employed as yet only the triads or perfect chords; this prevented absolutely all expression, although some traces of it appear in the Stabat Mater of that composer. This music, ecclesiastical in character, in which it would have been chimerical to try to introduce modern expression, flourished in France, in Flanders, in Spain at the same time as in Italy, and enjoyed the favor of Pope Marcellus, who recognized the merit of Palestrina in breaking loose from the grievous practice of adapting popular songs to church music. In the middle ages, as in antiquity, the laws of harmony were unknown; when it was desired to sing in two parts, they sang at first in intervals of fifths and fourths, where it would have seemed much more natural to sing in thirds and sixths.

The "sweep" starts with Dean Martin's "Memories Are Made of This."
Just when you wondering when you'd be able to listen to five seconds of every #1 song from 1956 until 1992, "Chartsweep" comes along. The concept originally comes from Hugo Keesing. As a professor at the University of Maryland, he taught a class entitled "Popular Music in American Society" beginning in the mid-70s. For every class, Keesing would add songs to the "sweep," until he stopped teaching the course in 1991.
The "sweep" starts with Dean Martin's "Memories Are Made of This."
After the jump you can read the rest of Keesing's story and hear "Chartsweep" in its entirety.
Keesing explained the rest of his story to the blog Some Assembly Required:
The concept and term "Chartsweep" both originated in the late 60s with a syndicated radio show called "The History of Rock 'n' Roll." I listened to it on WOR-FM in New York and recorded portions of it on an old Wollensack reel-to-reel tape recorder. As you know, the 'sweep presented segments of every Billboard #1 single starting with "Memories Are Made of This" (Jan 1956). I don't recall where it stopped, but it was around 1968/69. Six years later I began teaching an American Studies course at the University of Maryland called "Popular Music in American Society." To provide a setting for each class I dusted off the concept, took it back to January 1950, added a number of songs based on Joel Whitburn's re-definition of #1 songs, and continued where the original had stopped. I added each new #1 until fall, 1991 when I stopped teaching the course. "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" was the 900th. At the start of each class I played a portion of the 'sweep that corresponded to the years we were covering that night. To accompany the tape I made 35mm slides of either the original sheet music, 45 rpm record sleeve or something similar, so that students could see as well as hear the pop music history. Copies of each night's tape went to the undergraduate library. I assume that an enterprising student or two made their own copies and it is a copy of a copy of a copy that remains in circulation. That's the story in a nutshell.
And without further ado, below is every chart-topper from 1956 to 1992, starting with Dean Martin's "Memories Are Made of This" and ending with Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You." For a more contemporary listen, this version of "Chartsweep" starts at 1993 and goes all the way to Lady Gaga's "Born This Way," the current number one song on the Billboard Hot 100. (It's also the 1,000th #1 in the chart's history.)

Deputies: Man chased girlfriend with an axe, lifted her car with a backhoe
The couple had been living together since Valentine's Day.
Hopefully they won't be together for April Fool's Day.
Raymond Michael Lankheim, 60, is accused of chasing his girlfriend with an axe. She ran into her car and locked herself inside.
But this didn't stop the attack.
He lifted her vehicle off the ground 4 to 5 feet with a backhoe before dropping it to the ground — while she was inside, reports TCPalm.com.
The Stuart man then retrieved the axe and got into the swing of things some more.

Part of Your World Song Lyrics
[Maybe he's right]
[Maybe there is something the matter with me]
[I just don't see how a world]
[That makes such wonderful things]
[Could be bad]
Look at this stuff, isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything?
Look at this trove, treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Looking around here, you'd think
Sure, she's got everything
I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty
I've got who's-its and what's-its galore
You want thing-a-mabobs?
I've got twenty
But who cares? No big deal. I want more
I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see 'em dancin'
walkin' around on those
Whaddya call 'em? Oh, feet
Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'
Strollin' along down the
What's that word again? Street
Up where they walk
Up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin' free, wish I could be
Part of that world
What would I give if I could live
Outta these waters?
What would I pay to spend a day
Warm on the sand?
Betcha on land they understand
Bet they don't reprimand their daughters
Bright young women, sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand
And ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions and get some answers
What's a fire, and why does it
What's the word? Burn
When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love?
Love to explore that shore up above
Out of the sea, wish I could be
Part of that world

Is Microsoft losing its grip of tiny Eastern European markets? Everybody pisses on Internet Explorer, and nowhere more so than in Europe, where antitrust issues
Is Microsoft losing its grip of tiny Eastern European markets?Everybody pisses on Internet Explorer, and nowhere more so than in Europe, where antitrust issues have dogged Microsoft for years. Two years back, the European Commission forced the company to sell a version of Windows without its built-in media player. (Flop.) Now, as The New York Times reports, the EC has secured an agreement with Microsoft--ducking a long, costly legal fight for once--to offer consumers an alphabetical list of alternative browsers. Says the Times, "Rival browser makers had been upset that Microsoft had planned to list the browser choices alphabetically, giving Apple's Safari browser an advantage." So European users of Windows 7 will be able to select and download options to Internet Explorer, though it's still the dominant browser in Europe (and worldwide), with about 64 percent of the market (per NetApplications).
With two small exceptions: The Times cites French research firm AT Internet Institute to the effect that "Internet Explorer now trails Firefox in Hungary and Slovakia." Did you read that, Steve Ballmer? We've lost Hungary and Slovakia! There will be sleepless nights in Redmond as the company tries to halt the tipping dominoes. What's next after Hungary and Slovakia... Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Andorra, or San Marino? Where will the slide end?

|CHONDREX INC. Patent applications
|Patent application number
|Endotoxin adsorbent for the prevention and treatment of autoimmune diseases - It is believed that the abnormal absorption of endotoxin present in the gastrointestinal tract relates to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. In an animal model for rheumatoid arthritis, it is observed that arthritis is improved by removing endotoxin. The present invention provides an endotoxin-adsorbent, which is capable of removing endotoxin in the gastrointestinal tract and can be administered to humans safely. By using a non-digestible and non-absorbable, and therefore, safe endotoxin-adsorbent, which has a high endotoxin-binding capacity for removing large amounts of endotoxin present in the gastrointestinal tract, it is possible to prevent and treat autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Your works are fantastic
good shots... (saludos)
cool gallery
Looking through your gallery again, I came across your "Spark" series and the series of the states (with the symbols/wisps). I've been sifting through Abhorsen lore again (I would recommend the books) and they make me think of Charter magic symbols from that book now. Ever present and representative of all that is.
haha, well that's interesting that you would make the connection there. I will have to put that on my reading material list. Thanks, muchly!
You are quite welcome! I am quite fond of the series, but it's not for everyone I suppose. I ought to read it again more thoroughly this time (I read it first when I was in middle school).

Go to 2min 45 secs for pink/orange skyflash footage and 5 mins 0 secs for red skyflash. Bluish at 18min 18secs..
Here's a bunch of posts who have seen GREEN skyflashes three of which also say that electrical disruption also occurred at the same time.
Last night i looked out my window and every so often the sky would flash green for maybe a second or two. This pretty much happened all night until sunrise. No sound of thunder either. However my tv turned on and off a couple times.
On Monday, January 20, 1997 I woke up before sunrise. About 7:00 a.m. I noticed a flash outside, then I looked more closely and it looked like the sky was blinking at irregular intervals-blinks at different locations in the sky. It was cloudy, and the temperature had changed from below zero readings the night before to the 20's that morning. I wondered if it could be the aurora borealis or heat lightning, but it didn't really seem like either of those phenomena. When I asked my colleague, the earth science teacher, he said he had heard of this before sunrise phenomenon but had never observed it himself and didn't know the cause. Since it was a school holiday, apparently none of my students observed this amazing sight. It was a totally cool sight! Can anyone explain what caused this?
Did anyone else see this?? I was driving home from the city this evening, about 7:00 and as I passed through the Orinda/Lafayette area the WHOLE sky lit up a greenish blue for a second or two. I thought it was lightning at first but then it happened again twice...no thunder, no lighting bolt. Did something blow up in the hills? My first thought was that maybe the Martinez shell plant blew up but I cant find anything in the news...
That green flash across the sky on Sunday evening...
By sheer freakish luck, I happened to have seen it. For a while, my heart sank as my ears braced for an explosion. Fortunately, by now, we can safely conclude that it wasn't an aircrash. Whatever it was, it travelled quite slowly, slow enough for my wife to catch a glimpse in the anticipated direction of travel when the object re-emerged after being blocked by some flats. It definitely travelled slower than a meteor. The best way I can describe it is that, it looked like an unusually large ball of fireworks stuff, constantly disintegrating as it moves southwards. No photograph though. Just chipping in my 2 cents worth, desperately hoping to hear the truth about this "UFO".
Freaky, on the 8th January 2008, in Nottinghamshire (England) about 8.45 at night me and friends all over the county witnessed the sky light up bright green for about 5seconds and then again for about 2 seconds. Scared everyone as the power grid went down twice, but there has been no reports of any electrical damage to any sub stations or transformers. There was just silence and no noise what so ever. Just keen to find out where you witnessed it as your account seems very similar.
I'm glad someone else has seen this as I thought I was going mad. Whilst driving home from work tonight ( 9th Jan 08) at around 5.50pm I saw the whole sky flash green suddenly...with no noise also. The street lamps cut out and then flickered back on. Really strange. This was on the A31 west bound in Dorset.
The aurora which have DIFFERENT colours to skyflashes and UFO reports.
SKYFLASHES CAN'T BE METEORS OR LIGHTNING SO DON'T POST TO SUGGEST SO!! (Not that you'll listen)

Posted by ESPN.com's Heather Dinich
There is an undersized, 250-pound center in the ACC who can play the clarinet and the piano, has been composing music since he was 12, and does not fear lining up nose-to-nose against defensive linemen who have 50-100 pounds on him.
Bryan Morgan started every game for Duke last year, and this spring, with three starters gone to graduation, he is the most experienced player on the Blue Devils' offensive line.
"You ever hear the saying it ain't the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog?" quarterback Thaddeus Lewis said. "That's what happens when he goes out there on the field. He's a veteran guy, he's making calls, getting the line in the right situation. He might be 250 pushing it, but he's a strong kid, very talented, very fundamentally sound, which gives him the edge against bigger guys we actually play against."
Morgan, of Hoover, Ala., came to Duke around 238, 240 pounds. Since then, the junior has been on a "see-food" diet (he sees it, he eats it). Morgan said strength and conditioning coach Noel Durfey has basically given him free rein to eat anything and everything.
"The one word he tells me is calories," Morgan said. "Calories, calories, calories. I've gained 14 pounds this winter. It's working, so I'm not going to stop."
Morgan doesn't just order a burger -- he gets it with an extra patty, extra bacon, cheese, fries, a drink, and a milkshake.
"I have to make sure I finish everything on my plate," he said.
It's one of his four or five meals a day, which usually includes a light breakfast before practice, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and then usually two bowls of cereal or a PBJ before bed. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, when he has three classes back-to-back, he packs trail mix or another high-calorie snack.
And his classes aren't just any classes. Morgan is a music major, and his dream is to be a composer or a conductor. He's trying to get some connections with the North Carolina Symphony, and maybe even one day compose music for movies. He has a computer program to help him compose, and is in his first music theory class.
"My music is sounding more mature," he said. "I'm working on some orchestrations hopefully I'll finish in the summer."
He's been fighting his size his entire playing career, but football is in his genes -- his father was an offensive lineman at Alabama A&M and was inducted into the school's Athletic Hall of Fame in 2005.
"It's paramount for me to go out there and show 'em what I have," Morgan said. "I know I can do it. Since I'm smaller than most offensive linemen I really have to hone in on my skills. I can never take a play off or it will show drastically because I'm undersized. If I'm not careful they can throw me around because I'm on the light side."
Of course, there's always a way to win.
"Oh, the game is all about leverage," he said. "I try to get under their pads every play."
It hasn't always worked. Last year was Morgan's first full season as a starter at center after moving from tackle in the spring of 2008. In 2007, when he got in the game for 54 snaps at Virginia as a true freshman tackle, Morgan got up close and personal with former Virginia defensive end Chris Long.
"Chris Long was probably the best player I've played against," Morgan said. "He was quick, and the biggest guy I've gone against. That definitely wasn't my best game at all. But I really studied that tape on that day and said I've really got to work because that is what I'm going to be going against every game. I always keep that in the back of my mind. I don't want that to happen again."
Morgan has improved drastically since that game, and said it's like "night and day" from last year now that he's had a full season to adjust to his new position. Last season, Duke's offensive line helped reduce the team's sacks allowed total from 45 in 2007 to just 22 in 2008.
"Bryan's a special guy, No. 1 because of his size," offensive line coach Matt Luke said. "He's always been told he's too small, and last year I don't think he missed a snap. Because of his size limitations, he's had to overcome that with knowledge and work ethic, and so when you put that together with experience, it helps him be the leader of that unit and get everybody on the same page."
Not only are Morgan's looks deceiving, but the coaching staff has encouraged other players to watch him.
"Coach Durfey says watch his body demeanor, and if you're down and you feel like you're tired, just look at that guy right there next to you," Lewis said. "Bryan, he's going to show you the definition of a football player and how you should carry yourself."
All 250 pounds of him.

Director Dibakar Banerjee has rubbished rumours about making a sequel to his last year's release "Shanghai".
Dibakar, who is currently busy with another of his project, said he has no plans to do so for a long time.
"Right now I am just writing for my next film and I don't think I have announced the sequel so far and the plans are not to do so for a long time," Dibakar said here Sunday during the celebration of 100 years of Indian cinema at Whistling Woods International.
"Shanghai" featured actors Emraan Hashmi, Kalki Koechlin and Abhay Deol in the lead roles and won positive response from the critics.
The film focused on the corruption in the political system and did fairly well at the box-office.
Dibakar's latest release was "Bombay Talkies (2013)", an ode to 100 years of Indian cinema. The film was a bundle of four stories, out of which one was directed by Dibakar and the remaining three by Karan Johar, Zoya Akhtar and Anurag Kashyap, respectively.

SPI Cold Air Intakes
Wassup fellas, I am in the market to purchase a intake for my car, but as you guys already know everything seems to made for Duratecs, Zetecs, or DOHC's not the SPI. I did see on intake on www.focussport.com, but I was wondering if I had any more options. I just want a regular bolt on intake, nothing that will require me to change throttle bodies or anything like that. Any help?
I would recommend the Volant CAI, the only thing is you will need a transition fitting b/c it's made for the zetec motor. You should be able to find one at any auto parts store. I have to do this untill I get the TB that I had order. Hope this helps.
I did happen to purchase a volant boxed intake made for a 2.0 but I guess its not a split port. What do I need to purchase to adapt it to my engine?
yo. i got the t/b for the SPI so you can install any aftermarket ZETEC CAI never installed not trying to get rich...
You should be able to install any aftermarket intake for a zetec once the t/b is on.
blusovel is correct you will be able to add an intake to your spi after the t/b is on
If you can find a "reducer", you could use the Volant on the stock SPI t/b. Just like the Iceman kits do for the SPI. The problem would be finding the correct reducer, length and openings wise... The one the Iceman sells with thier SPI kit might work, but I can't say for sure.
What one could do is find an SPI owner with the SPI Iceman kit and a Zetec owner with the Volant and compare ;)

Magazine article Art Monthly
Ken Gill 1956-2010
Article excerpt
Ken Gill, who died in Glasgow at the age of 54, was a founder member of the Basement Group and then Projects UK, organisations significant in the development of time-based and site-specific art practice in the UK. A Fine Art student at Newcastle Polytechnic who 'couldn't draw' but was into 'happenings, film and video', he was instrumental in bringing together the six artists who ran the Basement Group co-operatively from 1979 to 1984, exhibiting their own work and that of 230 artists from the UK, Europe and the US, including Mona Hatoum, Stuart Brisley, Bruce McLean, Marc Camille Chaimowicz and Eric Bogosian. Gill's passionate engagement with new art practice was combined with an amused impatience for its pretensions and limitations, often expressed in what Performance Magazine described as the 'sardonic melancholy' of his own live--extremely funny--work where, for instance, he stood on a ladder every day for a week writing his every thought in the form of a giant wave on the wall of the Arnolfini Gallery in Seven Bore, 1981, and struck military and religious poses in My Life Is Dull, I come from Hull, Paris, 1982. …

Chefs Veg Out: Clementina Russo of Big Bear Cafe
Short ribs and baby octopus may dominate many menus in the city, but that doesn't mean local chefs can't find love in an acorn squash. In our ongoing series, Chefs Veg Out, we'll prove D.C.'s chefs can play with more than just meat.
