What are we up to? Well, the short answer is that our family is embarking on a sabbatical trip around North America, beginning mid-September 2009. I'm on sabbatical from my position as an Instructor at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario. As I began to think about the reading and professional development I wish to do this year, I realized that the former needn't take place anywhere in the vicinity of snowbanks or ice storms, and the latter could best be accomplished by visiting people who were doing interesting things at colleges and universities around the continent.
The longer answer comes out best as a series of responses to the most common questions we've been asked as we prepare for our journey.
Where are we going and how are we travelling? We're going to drive a truck and trailer around North America – clockwise, beginning in Ottawa and heading first to Atlantic Canada before we meander along the east coast of the US, arriving in Florida in early December to meet up with my in-laws for a couple of weeks. From there, we'll head west for a few months, turn right when we hit the Pacific, head north for a few months, turn right when we hit BC, and then work our way back to Ottawa.
Are we homeschooling? Um, not exactly. In fact, our plan is to unschool or deschool for the year. The slogan for the trip is "No teaching. Lots of learning." Our sons will be exposed to a lot of interesting people, places and books along the way – we look forward to learning along with them as they decide what most engages them. They, too, will be keeping a blog and emailing with friends and family. The goal is that they will engage in authentic tasks this year – no photocopied worksheets or standardized tests.
What else are we up to? Well, there sure are a lot of things that we are interested in – good food, local eating, service learning, non-compulsory schooling, sustainable building practices, fitness … We hope to learn more about all of these things as we move around both countries.
Why sell our house and put everything in storage? Mark and I have had a mortgage since our mid-twenties. Certainly, we could have rented the house and covered our expenses, but only barely. The house is big, the property requires all kinds of maintenance. We recognized the possibilities that open up when you don't have to cordon off mental energy to think about repairs, renovation projects, and possible natural disasters. Additionally, we have always talked about designing and building our own home. It just seemed that it would be much easier to open up our brains to thinking that through if we weren't tied to a house already. So, we've sold our house and placed most of our material things in storage lockers in Ottawa. No bills for cable, internet, natural gas, hydro, taxes, etc. for a whole year. I love it already.
So, those are our plans in a nutshell. Read along (check out Mark's blog too) and let us know if you have great ideas for what we can do along the way…

Very much enjoyed our stay in the apartment and our visit to Split. Very clean and excellent location and the owner went out of his way to make us feel welcome and tell us about the area.
Many thanks
Great apartment in a fantastic location, minutes from the Old Town and 10 mins from the sandy beach. Tomi was fantastic as a host. Definitely recommended and would go again.
A great appartment with nice garden near the centre of town. Everything was taken care off. We had nice contact with the owner Tomi and enjoyed our stay there.
El apartamento estaba muy bien, con un jardin precioso (en pleno centro de la ciudad). Está a 5 minutos del centro, y hay un supermercado a 3 minutos...Tomislav fue amabilisimo y nos facilito planos, información de la ciudad y la zona.....nos había impreso un montón de cosas sobre costumbres, gastronomía (le preguntó a su abuela...) y los sitios que nos recomendó para comer y cenar, estaban muy bien
We are very satisfied with the apartment, which was very near the Town centre. We could sit in the garden in the afternoon. The host helped us with several things, among others to hire a van for a trip into the country. We could always call him and get good advice about restaurants and what to see.
Good appartment in excellent location, close to everything but still quiet neighborhood. All online information about the appartment was correct. Very friendly and helpful host. We got broschures, info package, help with car rental and airport transfers!
I can recommend this to anyone - Thank you Tomi :)
Helt okej boende! Perfekt läge med nära till havet, shopping och restauranger!
Diese geräumige Wohnung bietet viel Platz und die beiden sonnigen Balkone konnten gerade Ende Oktober mit ihrer Vormittags-, Mittagssonne noch prima genutzt werden. Das Apartment liegt optimal zu Stränden, dem Dokletianpalast und anderen Altstadtvierteln. Alles fußläufig in rund 10 Minuten erreichbar.
Bacvice ist ein grünes und ruhiges Wohnviertel, die Wohnung befindet sich an einer ruhigen Wohnstraße. Der Vermieter ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend und gibt viele interessante Tipps. Einzig die Küchenausstattung war ein bisschen karg. Wir würden das Apartment sofort wieder buchen!

Similar to the fossils they study, it took some time for David Bottjer, professor of earth and biological sciences in USC College, and Luis Chiappe, director and curator of the National History Museum, to establish the College's Center for Chinese Fossil Discoveries, though not in the range of 200 million to a billion years.
The center emphasizes graduate education and encourages undergraduate participation. "We have a successful example of a new enterprise and partnership between two world-class organizations — USC and the museum," Chiappe, also an adjunct professor of earth and biological sciences at the College, said.
Bottjer and Chiappe are paleontologists, the former a distinguished expert in fossil marine life and the latter world-renowned for the study of fossil birds and their dinosaurian predecessors. Bottjer stated that the field of paleontology is, in essence, "biological data turned to stone."
But what is so significant about the study of fossils from hundreds of millions of years ago that most of us can't even fathom without a degree in time travel? The answer lies in biodiversity loss—what is happening today happened in the past. Humans are causing biodiversity loss on earth today and similar sorts of things occurred before, according to Bottjer. "The increase in CO2 in the atmosphere today does not occur naturally; it is rather anthropocentric in that people are inducing mass extinction," he said.
The earliest animal life fossil evidence dates back to around 600 million years. Bottjer and other paleontologists seek answers to how animals evolved on earth. "For those interested in this field, you can visit L.A.'s La Brea Tar Pits to find out about the last Ice Age — back roughly 40,000 years," Bottjer said.
Even closer to home for USC students is the museum across the street from campus on Exposition Boulevard. "USC and the museum are wonderful partners: the museum has a tremendous collection of fossils, and USC students and faculty are an outstanding resource," Chiappe said. "The center's mission is to seek new partnerships with Chinese institutions; augment the level of research based on Chinese fossils; and discover new ways to conduct increased research and involve more students."
"China opened up to science in a big way about 20 years ago," Bottjer explained. "Luis and I both study how life evolved on earth and if you are engaged in this research, you want great material. And it turns out it's in China."
Chiappe said that the fossils coming from China range from the microscopic, to birds, to mammals. "Every evolutionary stage is represented in China and the quality and quantity of fossils is unprecedented. Before we could not base our research on fossil birds on more than 25 mostly incomplete specimens and now we have complete specimens numbering in the hundreds," he said.
Students measure and prepare the bones from field excavations that are on loan from China. This summer, USC College doctoral candidate Jingmai O'Connor could be seen preparing Chinese fossils in the museum's dinosaur laboratory in what they refer to as a "paleo-odyssey."
"This is a working conservation lab for public viewing that is dedicated to preparing mainly dinosaur fossils. Museum visitors can see first-hand the preparation of a five-foot Brachiosaurus arm bone, or on a much different level, a tiny lizard," Chiappe said.
O'Connor speaks with clear appreciation of China's fossils, especially those from the Gansu province. "You see shelf after shelf lined with skulls of rhinos. Then you see the fossils of this big animal called Dinocrocuta with a skull as big as a lion, tiny little eyes like a hyena — imagine this thing coming after you," she said.
According to O'Connor, half of paleontologists love dinosaurs as a kid and the other half will develop an appreciation. "I fall into the latter category," she said. O'Connor is not particularly fond of birds though she studies them now.
In fact, O'Connor was once chased by a chicken in China. But that's another story. "I became fascinated by the dinosaurs that I study, like the Chinese four-winged Microraptor and the long feathers it carried on its hind legs."
What is it that fascinates about dinosaurs? Chiappe paused for a moment and then said: "There is no modern analogue — saber-tooth cats and mammoths are fascinating, but lions, tigers and elephants look alike," he said. "Dinosaurs are old and bizarre; they had weird head gear; they were fearsome predators; and they were of colossal size. We are fascinated by what scares us; yet, we feel safe within the confines of a museum."
For the next two years, the museum will continue to prepare a wide range of dinosaurs in its public viewing dinosaur laboratory. The museum plans to display these and many other fossils in two new galleries slated to open in 2011.
Dinosaurs might not be as extinct as you think. Look up in the sky and there may be a flock of flying dinosaurs — scientifically speaking that is. According to Chiappe, there is plenty of evidence that modern-day birds are remnants of a glorious background of dinosaurs.

A&E to resume filming Duck Dynasty WITH Phil Robertson
A&E will resume filming of Duck Dynasty after the New Year starts and it will INCLUDE Phil Robertson. Looks like the gaystapo and leftist smear merchants have failed again. Also, the grassroots support of Robertson for simply stating his religious beliefs and backlash against A&E finally hit them in the pocket book. The flood of rubber docks to A&E quarters probably changed some minds:
Employees of the A&E network must be beginning to believe this entire controversy is all ducked up. Duck Dynasty fans are mailing A&E CEO Nancy Dubuc thousands of yellow rubber ducks in protest of Phil Robertson's suspension by the network.
This protest effort is being led by an organization called Faith 2 Action and called "Mail The Duck."
The first cardboard box jammed with 1,500 ducks will be sent to the channel's CEO Nancy Dubuc by Saturday, according to Janet Porter, the founder of Faith2Action.

9 am and me and Ross were off up the hills. 2 miles to a Multi vehicle Path and that was hard- Rock Hard. 3 months of little rain has left it dry and dusty and the vehicle tyre ruts have to be looked out for. But 6 miles from home and we hit the Hills at Wilmington. This is where the "Local" Chalk Carving is and the Name of "Long Man" is quite appropriate. It May be an Ancient carving but there is no proof of it before about 1800 so may be a fake. Our route was taking us up Windover Hill to the rear of this hill so we were taking the easy- 12% climb for a mile to get to the top of the Downs
Flongman..jpg Fwindoverhill..jpg Ftrack..jpg
This is the hill that caught me last week so am pleased to say the offroad legs are back. But I had a problem appear about now- I had a Crank Creek come in. Except it wasn't the Cranks. I had Broken the seat post bolt and the saddle was getting loose. Couple of miles across the top of the Downs and it was obvious that I was going to have to cut the ride short. I did manage a temporary repair but that was not going to last long so I Even had to miss out on the Decent Downhill.
Ross didn't though- but I wish I had kept the Video Running. We knew we we being caught by a couple of riders and they came down straight after Ross---BUT a lot slower. Couple of 25Year olds on top of the range Bikes and it was obvious they were worried by this slope. I have been riding it for 20 years and Ross for 15 and you have to let the bike go and try to miss the Flints. Doesn't work unless you stay off the brakes- but that is what maturity brings you- A Loss of brain power.
So only a short ride this week but I did feel like a lot more. Don't now as The butt is a bit sore so glad the Ride was shorter than expected.

# DocPad. Streamlined web development. [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/bevry/docpad.png?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/bevry/docpad)
Hi! I'm DocPad, I streamline the web development process and help close the gap between experts and beginners. I've been used in production by big and small companies for over a year and a half now to create [plenty of amazing and powerful web sites and applications](https://github.com/bevry/docpad/wiki/Showcase) quicker than ever before. What makes me different is instead of being a box to cram yourself into and hold you back, I'm a freeway to what you want to accomplish, just getting out of your way and allowing you to create stuff quicker than ever before without limits. Leave the redudant stuff up to me, so you can focus on the awesome stuff.
Discover my features below, or skip ahead to the installation instructions to get started with a [fully functional pre-made website](https://github.com/bevry/docpad/wiki/Skeletons) in a few minutes from reading this.
## Features
### Out of the box
- Competely file based meaning there is no pesky databases that need to be installed, and for version control you get to use systems like Git and SVN which you're already use to (You can still hook in remote data sources if you want, DocPad doesn't impose any limits on you, ever)
- Choose from plenty of community maintained [pre-made websites](https://github.com/bevry/docpad/wiki/Skeletons) to use for your next project instead of starting from scratch everytime
- Write your documents in any language, markup, templating engine, or pre-processor you wish (we're truly agnostic thanks to your plugin system). You can even mix and match them when needed by combining their extensions in a rails like fashion (e.g. `coffee-with-some-eco.js.coffee.eco`)
- Changes to your website are automatically recompiled through our built in watch system, saving you time
- Add meta data to the top of your files to be used by templating engines to display non-standard information such as titles and descriptions for your documents
- Display custom listings of content with our powerful [Query Engine](https://github.com/bevry/query-engine/) available to your templating engines
- Abstract out generic headers and footers into layouts using our nested layout system
- For simple static websites easily deploy your generated website to any web server like apache or github pages. For dynamic projects deploy them to servers like [heroku](http://www.heroku.com/) or [nodejitsu](http://nodejitsu.com/) to take advantage of custom routing with [express.js](http://expressjs.com/). [Deploy guide here](https://github.com/bevry/docpad/wiki/Hosting)
- Built-in server to save you from having to startup your own, for dynamic deployments this even supports things like clean urls, custom routes and server-side logic
- Robust architecture and powerful plugin system means that you are never boxed in unlike traditional CMS systems, instead you can always [extend DocPad](https://github.com/bevry/docpad/wiki/Extending) to do whatever you need it to do, and you can even write to bundle common custom functionality and distribute them through the amazing node package manager [npm](http://npmjs.org/)
- Built in support for dynamic documents (e.g. search pages, signup forms, etc.), so you can code pages that change on each request by just adding `dynamic: true` to your document's meta data (exposes the [express.js](http://expressjs.com/) `req` and `res` objects to your templating engine)
- You can use it standalone, or even easily include it within your existing systems with our [API](https://github.com/bevry/docpad/wiki/API)
### With our amazing community maintained plugins
- Use the [Live Reload](https://github.com/bevry/docpad-extras/tree/master/plugins/livereload) plugin to automatically refresh your web browser whenever a change is made, this is amazing
- Pull in remote RSS/Atom/JSON feeds into your templating engines allowing you to display your latest twitter updates or github projects easily and effortlessly using the [Feedr Plugin](https://github.com/bevry/docpad-extras/tree/master/plugins/feedr/)
- Support for every templating engine and pre-processor under the sun, including but not limited to CoffeeScript, CoffeeKup, ECO, HAML, Handlebars, Jade, Less, Markdown, PHP, Ruby, SASS and Stylus - [the full listing is here](https://github.com/bevry/docpad/wiki/Plugins)
- Use the [Partials Plugin](https://github.com/bevry/docpad-extras/tree/master/plugins/partials/) to abstract common pieces of code into their own individual file that can be included as much as you want
- Syntax highlight code blocks automatically with our [Pygments Plugin](https://github.com/bevry/docpad-extras/tree/master/plugins/pygments/)
- Get SEO friendly clean URLs with our [Clean URLs Plugin](https://github.com/bevry/docpad-extras/tree/master/plugins/cleanurls/) (dynamic deployments only)
- Lint your code automatically with our Lint Plugin - under construction, coming soon
- Concatenate and minify your JavaScript and CSS assets making page loads faster for your users with our Minify Plugin - under construction, coming soon
- Install common javascript libraries like jQuery, Backbone and Underscore directly from the command line - under construction, coming soon
- Automatically translate your entire website into other languages with our Translation Plugin - under construction, coming soon
- Add a admin interface to your website allowing you to edit, save and preview your changes on live websites then push them back to your source repository with the Admin Plugin - under construction, coming soon
- Pretty much if DocPad doesn't already do something, it is trivial to [write a plugin](https://github.com/bevry/docpad/wiki/Extending) to do it, seriously DocPad can accomplish anything, it never holds you back, there are no limits, it's like super powered guardian angel
- There are also [plenty of other plugins](https://github.com/bevry/docpad/wiki/Plugins) not listed here that are still definitely worth checking out! :)
## People love DocPad

``` bash
mkdir my-new-website
cd my-new-website
docpad run
This will create your website, watch for changes, and launch the DocPad server. It will ask you if you would like to base your website from an [already existing one](https://github.com/bevry/docpad/wiki/Skeletons "DocPad allows people to share their existing websites as skeletons, to help bootstrap your next website. You can discover a listing of them here.") to get started even quicker.

A Knoxville church congregation will soon have a new place to worship after losing part of their building more than a year ago.
In December 2010, a fire nearly destroyed Mount Calvary Baptist Church on Dandridge Avenue, including the sanctuary.
The congregation has been holding worship in the gym of the church since the fire.
Tuesday, the church announced it will break ground on a new sanctuary this Sunday. They hope to have the project finished this year.

Moston really isn't a station you want to be waiting for a train at after dark. It's poorly lit and out of site from the main road. It's used as a hang out for kids who can get quite vocal at times. One for the ladies to avoid.
If you can, get a cab.

I have to say Kevin Lynch. He writes odd stuff at times, and comes to weird conclusions. For example, he said that because of a conclusion that Pro Football Weekly came to about Christian Ponder and Andy Dalton the 49ers must feel this pressure or something? Why? Because of something PFW wrote? PFW is wrong all the time. Then in this blog he repeatedly calls ryan mallett ryan millet: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/ninerinsider/detail?entry_id=86132 . I mean I understand if he writes stuff that people dont agree with all the time, that's fine. But can't you atleast get the players names right? Not to mention he states things that are wrong. For example, he talked about how the 9ers are puting a lot of effort into Kaepernick, Dalton, and "Millet", then he goes on to say they are showing less attention in Stanzi and Ponder. IIRC one of their top scouts was at Ponder's pro day and they already have a meeting with Stanzi.
I don't mean to rip him or anything, a lot of times he does a good job. But sometimes dude is just flat out wrong, whereas guys like Barrows and Maiocco are usually right on with their info.

Stakeholder Uses of Attrition Research
A number of observations touched on the broader stake various elements of society have in attrition research.
Some specific roles for various stakeholder groups that emerged are described below.
- Graduate school administrators can develop attrition data and present it to departments as a tool for action.
- Disciplinary associations can encourage department chairs to think about their roles as important disciplinary leaders.
- Universities, in anticipation of increased pressure for accountability, can participate in the Graduation Rate Survey, a voluntary project conducted by NCES that is available on the World Wide Web. By participating, the institution can gain the statistical data necessary to create performance metrics.
- University research and planning offices can demonstrate that investment in research has major payoffs for various parts of the university.
- Education policymakers can use attrition data to make more informed decisions in allocating resources and setting graduate program goals.

"It costs about $1,500 to print one copy of a movie on 35 mm film and ship it to theaters in its heavy metal canister. Multiply that by 4,000 copies — one for each movie on each screen in each multiplex around the country — and the numbers start to get ugly. By comparison, putting out a digital copy costs a mere $150."
—LA Weekly — who else? — foretells the death of 35mm film and everything it'll take to the grave with it including your local art-house theater. Oh, and all the prettiest moving images imaginable.

The Knights of Columbus puts out some very informative and high quality publications that you receive every month or two. These publications represent a positive advertisement for our Order and the Father Michael J McGivney Guild.
How about after you've read the Guild Newsletter you take it to church or a council meeting. Ask people if they received it and when you find someone who didn't hand it to them and say something like, "Father Gabriel's message on…Continue

I did a Google search for a parish in another town. The Facebook page came up as the first choice, I clicked on it and the results started me down a strange path. Instead of Mass times, I saw a crude cartoon in the timeline that not only used profanity but denigrated our faith. Needless to say, that wasn't what I was expecting to find on a church's Facebook page.
It turns out I stumbled into a frustrating cul-de-sac in the digital neighborhood called Unofficial Pages. You see,…Continue

the new overworld looks nice, and the updates look tidy as always.
but wow, the new palette looks pale(or is it just the rain?).
it looks really nice but it seems like something found at a graveyard.
I was really planning to play it when the first beta came out, but with all the updates, you've made me want to get alpha 1.2.
knowing how great you are at scripting, you will get the alpha done in no time.
well, best of luck on the hack Christos!

Designer Jeans reviews
Denim Review: Paige Verdugo Jeggings in Paige Blue
This week I am reviewing one of the new Paige jeans, the Verdugo jeggings in Paige Blue. This colour is Paige's new signature colour for the brand and it's also in one of my favourite cuts from the brand!
If you haven't tried the famous Verdugo leggings from Paige yet, then you really should. They are still one of my favourite (if not my favourite) jeggings from any brand. They are so comfortable and really flattering as well as being skinny all the way down to the ankles and super stretchy. They are everything you want a jegging to be. They combine Paige's classic flattering fit with ultimate comfort and I honestly do live in the Verdugo. They are my go to leggings for running errands but they also look amazing dressed up. I own quite a few now and I love them! I took a 27 in these which is my normal Paige size and they fit me perfectly.
It's really exciting trying them in this bold and bright wash though! The Paige Blue is one of those blues that you can't describe. It's a medium blue but it's also a bright blue. I would say the pictures of me in the jeans are really close to how they look in real life. They seem to be a bit paler on the Paige website when in fact they are very bold. It's a gorgeous colour and I have fun wearing these! This is also a colour you can match with other bright colours like my berry scarf. I think blue is incredibly versatile!
I also wore them to London yesterday for press days and they do remain comfortable for the whole day. That involves a lot of traveling and they only stretched out a bit, they are still very clingy. The whipstitching is tonal on the pocket too so it doesn't stand out so much. I know Paige says she likes it like that as it makes it look more chic. I agree! For those of you also wondering, I did get my hair cut, I got a fringe/bangs which was really scary, but I think I like it! Buy these jeans online at PaigeUSA.com for $179.

Denim Review: Closed Denim Biker Pants in Khaki
This weeks review is on a pair of Closed Denim Biker Pants in Khaki which I got sent by the lovely brand to try. I have always loved the look of their jeans, they love to try colours and different styles so they have been a fun brand that I have wanted to try for a while. I'm really glad they sent me the biker style as well, I love them a lot more than I thought I would.
The fit of these jeans is really skinny. As you can see from the photos, they are a super skinny jean all the way down from the hips to the ankle. They feature inseam zippers as well so that adds to their skinniness. I have grown really fond of the inseam zippers instead of outerseam zippers. I prefer them as they are more subtle. They are slightly small in the waist though, but I do find that happens a lot with Italian jeans, they are cut differently to the American based brands.
They also have two seams that go down the outside of the legs, not just one outserseam but another one for detailing and I think that makes them very unique. The moto/biker stitching on the knees is also one that I love so much! Sometimes brands find it hard to get this right and make it really realistic while being comfortable, but these are comfortable as well as really well done. The stitching doesn't go all the way around to the back so they are much more easy to bend your legs in without feelling restricted.
The back pocket placement is quite high up too which does give the illusion that your butt is more perkier. It makes it more rounded and another thing I find with this brand, since they are Italian and cut differently, is they give you a bit more room in the butt area which I find really useful as I don't end up with the flat or squashed tush look that I do with some jeans.
The fabric of these is really really soft and very stretchy. It feels a lot like a jegging material because it's really easy to move in and it's quite clingy. You can see from the photos how soft and tight it feels and looks at the same time. It's really nice. I took a 27 in these which is my normal jeans size. It's my first time trying the brand though so I can't compare the sizing to other Closed jeans unfortunately. Even though these jeans have a lot of detail on them, they are still minimal and flattering. The stitching is the same colour as the Khaki wash so nothing stands out too much, everything blends in which I like. I'm also a huge fan of the Khaki colour, I find it matches a lot of clothes and is easy to pair many colours with. It's a great Fall/Winter neutral!
I think I have covered most of the details and everything that I can but of course I will always answer your questions through the comment system if you have any! These are definitely in my top two moto/biker jeans! They are up at the number one spot with my James Jeans moto jeans! I love them! These also come in green, red and blue! So if you want to be bold and fun, you can try out those colours as well! Buy the Closed Denim Biker pants online at Closed.com for 189 Euros.

Denim Review: DC Skinny Jeans in Fudge
This weeks review is on a pair of jeans from DC. If you remember our post on how the brand has now ventured into men's and women's denim, these are from their women's line. They are the Skinny jeans in Fudge which I got sent to try from the brand. I have always been familiar with DC, as when I was younger I used to wear their shoes a lot, it's always nice to venture back into a brand for different reasons though, so I was more than happy to try these out.
As you can tell from the pictures, these are a super skinny jean. I took a 27 in them which is my usual jeans size and they fit me just fine so I would say they are true to size. A lot of the time skinny jeans are actually not as skinny as they should be so I was actually quite suprised with just how slim these are. They have a lower rise too and they are plain all over so if you don't like heavy branding, like I don't, these will be fine for you.
I wasn't sure at first about how comfortable these jeans would be. Purely because I know DC is a brand for people who love skateboarding and sports/hobbies like that, I knew they had to be durable and sturdy. These are actually really soft though, the fabric is quite smooth and even though the denim is on the thicker side, they are still somewhat comfortable. I am really used to thinner denim or jeggings now though so it's always harder making that transition back into thicker denim. Because the denim is thicker, they don't sit on my bum as well as I would have liked them too. The pocket placement is fine, it's flattering, but because of the jeans being really skinny and sturdy at the same time, the fabric tends to fold a bit under the butt area. I haven't worn these long enough to stretch them out properly yet though, but I am sure that would work itself out if I did.
The thing that attracted me most to these jeans though was the wash. I was excited to do something non blue and the grey on these is absolutely beautiful! It's the perfect shade of dark grey, but it's lighter in areas and it has whiskering on the lap. It's a grey that has a depth to it and it looks 3D almost. I was suprised at just how pretty this wash actually is. To be honest, I was quite suprised with everything about these jeans. I wasn't expecting them to be this nice for a couple of reasons; the brand isn't a jeans brand, the jeans are made in China and they have a lower price point of $68. You can feel the difference in the denim quality though, but that's something I have learned over the years. You can buy these online at DC for $68.

Denim Review: 7 For All Mankind Gummy Gwenevere in Dark Violet
This weeks denim review is on a pair of jeans that you regular readers know I have loved for a while now, the 7 For All Mankind Gummy Gwenevere skinny jeans in Dark Violet. The first time I saw these on Shopbop, I was obsessed with them! They just looked so pretty! The colour was what had me hooked, I already have a couple of Gummy Gweneveres and I love how they fit me, so I knew these ones would be amazing!
These got sent to me by 7 For All Mankind as Shopbop was selling out fast. I had to take a 26 which is the sample/model size as they didn't have any other sizes available. I thought I would just squeeze myself into them as I am usually a 27, but it turned out that I didn't have to. These actually fit me just fine. They even feel a little bit loose on me actually, but I am not sure if they are miss-sized or if they really run this big. All of my other Gummy Gweneveres and normal Gweneveres are a 27 but by the size of these, I could take a 25 in them. If this sizing is correct.
The one thing I love about the Gummy denim is how comfortable it is! I wore these all day when I went up to London last week (I've included some Buckingham Palace photos for you). That involves a 1 and a half hour train ride there, taxis, walking, a lot of walking, and then a 1 and half hour train ride back home. I wasn't uncomfortable once in them and I am glad I picked them for that day out. They feel just like leggings and you could easily do yoga or stretches in them without any trouble. Even though they feel like leggings, they still fit like jeans at the same time so that's why I think they are amazing!
Now the Dark Violet wash! It's perfect! As you know I love the berry tones and purple definitely fits in to that shade. It reminds me a lot of the blackcurrant drink called Ribena which we have over here in England, I'm not sure if you do in the States, but it's the same shade of purple and it's truly beautiful! It's fun to have this shade of purple in a pair of jeans because it livens up your outfit but at the same time it's still one of the lesser daring colours, unlike a bold red or yellow. If you love coloured jeans then there is not one person that I wouldn't recommend these to! They are definitely worth it! They are in my top 2 favourite coloured jeans I own! Buy these jeans online at Shopbop for $169.

Joey Castillo Needed A Place To Sleep
I dreamed that I was back living in my old childhood house with my mother and my niece Chrissy. In my bedroom the walls were white as they had been back then. Instead of one bed the bedroom had my big bed and a bunk bed. The same as my bedroom does in waking life. My niece and I were at a Queens Of The Stone Age concert in Ohio. We traveled all that way to see them. Well on the way home we encounter Joey Castillo (He is their drummer). He is alone walking and is trying to get away fromRead More...

I recently inherited an older XGA, 1024x768, 4:3 ratio LCD video projector.
The projector only supports a D-Sub (VGA) input. My DirecTV satellite box outputs its video signal @ standard 720p/1080p via component and HDMI outputs.
What are my options to convert my cable box's video HD signal so that it properly displays with my video projector at the proper aspect ratio of 16:9 at XGA resolution.
Proper being a visual resolution of 1024x576, which 16:9 letter boxed resolution of 1024x768. So the projector is displaying in 1024x768 mode but with letterbox bars to maintain 16:9 aspect ratio of the standard HD format.

Potholer54 asks,Can a cow turn into a whale? What are the odds? And just how did creationists come up with them?
It's Crocoduck time again!
Adnan Oktar a.k.a. Harun Yahya gets the first nomination of the season for his groundbreaking work of Creationistist scientific research, The Atlas of Creation.
The Golden Crocoduck is awarded every year for the biggest breach of the ninth commandment in pursuit of the creationist cause. Voting is in September, and the winner is announced on October 28, the feast day of St. Jude Thaddeus, patron saint of lost causes
Potholer54 says, "The QQOQQ is the Defiance in Ignorance Prize, awarded for the dumbest question asked in the arrogant belief that there is no possible answer."
Winning video can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poCvPV9uMYg. However, the identity of the mystery man behind the redneck curtain turns out to be a YouTuber called qwertyfshag. He took down his original video, but it was reposted by Moouan.
qwertyfshag's channel can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/user/qwertyfshag
Again, Potholer54 provides flawless documentation in debunking Hovind(s).
The Hovinds, Kent and Eric, try to show that the Earth can't be old because the moon is receding. Once again, a clear breach of the 9th Commandment that lands poor Eric with a Golden Crocoduck nomination. Both Hovind videos are listed in the Golden Crocoduck nominee 2012 playlist

Potholer schools us on the raw foods panacea, as well as on the link between vaccinations and autism.
Potholer54 states:
The headlines recently announcing no melting of Himalayan glaciers for the past 10 years are, no surprise, not entirely accurate or telling the whole story. That's what you get for learning your science from the popular press. The rest of the story is far more interesting. As usual, I look at the scientific paper all this hype is based on, and it comes up with something that hasn't been so widely reported....
Another "Epic Creationist Fails of Our Time" episode by Potholer54.
Potholer54 is on the road until the end of this month, so you probably won't see any new vids from him after this until mid-February. This video just answers several questions from Atticana (who was nominated for a Golden Crocoduck last year but is not eligible) about his video Human Ancestry Made Easy.
I'll match the sources with times on the video soon. Here are just the sources for now.
All the 2011 and 2009 e-mails can be found at http://foia2011.org/index.php?id=2

Daily Mail Hide the decline - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2055191/Scientists-said-climate-change-sceptics-proved-wrong-accused-hiding-truth-colleague.html
Potholer54 debunks three creationists who were supposed to have been contenders for the 2011 coveted Golden Crocoduck. The award has been suspended this year.
Here is the next nominee for this year's coveted Golden Crocoduck. Sorry, but the science that's explained in this video is so simple I can't even source it.
If women find this video embarrassing, don't worry, you're still vastly outnumbered by men when it comes to spouting unscientific bullshit in the public arena.

Update Notes
Updated on: 05/26/2015
Since we last visited ThugSeduction...
Thug Seduction brings you hunky ebony men straight out of Motor City Detroit and these productions will make you weak in the knees with their intensity. If you're into seeing black guys boning other dark-skinned studs, then this is the place to be. Since our last visit the site has been completely redesigned, for the better yet again.
Some guys on ThugSeduction are keeping it on the down-low. Others are outright straight and only do solo shoots, even though they know other dudes get off on watching them. I know it's considered a stereotype, but you can't ignore the fact that these hunks are all hung whichever way they swing. They have handsome faces and very muscular bodies to go along with their massive rods.
You get 169 videos when you add up the content in the site's three movie sections. One is labeled simply "videos" and has footage watermarked with the site's logo. The second section is called "bareback" and it contains scenes in which guys go at it without protection. The third section is called "jacking" and its made up of flicks in which straight dudes lube up and jerk off their meaty tube steaks.
All the videos can be downloaded and streamed in a Flash format. They often look pretty good and there are some HD movies to save. Some are a bit blurry at full screen, but finding ones that don't suffer from this issue isn't all that difficult.
There's solo and hardcore action galore. You'll see quite a few threesomes, one-on-one hookups and some mutual masturbation. These hunks are just incredible to watch. I mean, we're talking wall-to-wall muscle everywhere you look. They've got manly pecs, bulging biceps and muscular thighs. And let's not forget about their brown taut bubble butts.
If you head into the model section, you'll find 89 photo galleries, inclduing some made up of high-res pics. I'll give you a tip for when you're checking the photos out that might not be obvious at first. You need to click on the center of their embedded display to see the full-sized versions in all their glory. You can also view them in an automatic slideshow.
The website continues to grow, but it doesn't have the greatest update schedule. After all, it has only given us one new video in the last 30 days. The only extra at this point is access to a blog and you can check it out even before joining, so it doesn't really count. Despite any issues, Thug Seduction seems like a worthwhile investment for gay ebony lovers.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.
