ODBD Anniversary Kick-Off
Today begins a super fun week as Our Daily Bread designs celebrates its first year in business. Each day for the next week, two design team members will be posting fun projects, tutorials, and loads of blog candy. Then on the 17th, we'll culminate the celebration with the release of a very special anniversary stamp set and a blog hop too. I'm lucky enough today to kick off the celebration with teammate Angel Wilde. Be sure to check out her blog, Angelosity, for a demonstration of Shimmerz and some yummy blog candy!
I'll be showing you how to create a lattice background using a Scor-Pal, but before I get to that, how about a chance to win more great prizes? Play along in the Bread Basket {aka Design Team} Scavenger Hunt! You'll find each of the following items on one of the design team members' blogs. When you have found all of the items, copy the list below into an email, and include which blog you found it on, then send your list to our DT Coordinator, Judy Rozema, at firstname.lastname@example.com. Deadline is Thursday, March 12, midnight CT. All correct entries will be put into a "bread basket" (lol) and three winners will be drawn on Friday, the 13th! It could be your lucky day! Prizes and winners will be announced on the ODBD blog on Friday!
Here's your list of items (and remember the items can all be found on the main blog pages, not in the actual posts, so you only have to check banners, sidebars, and such)

Good luck!!
Now, for a quick how-to on creating the lattice background in three easy steps using a Scor-Pal. This is not my idea -- I'm just showing you how to do it. The Scor-Pal and accessories are available in the Our Daily Bread Designs store. I held out on this gem of a product for a long, long time, but I can honestly tell you, I'm so happy I got it, because I use it every single day! I {heart} my Scor-Pal!
Today I'm working with one of my favorite older ODBD sets, Path of Life. The beautiful main image is large, so I chose to work on a 5 1/2" card base. I love the lattice look on white especially, as it is such a classy way to dress up the plain white background. I also love working with the Prismatics papers because of the nice texture. First you'll want to cut your paper to 5 1/2 x 11.
Step 1: With the texture side up (if you're using textured paper), use your Scor-Pal to score on the 11" side at 5 1/2" so you'll know where to fold to make the card base.
Step 2: Flip the paper over so the texture side is down and place your paper at an angle on the left side of the Scor-Pal bed so that the top right corner fits into the little notch at the 5" mark along the top. For this card size, the other corner should fall at approximately the 2" mark. Use your scoring tool to score every 1/2-inch.
Note: When your get to the middle score lines, you'll need to stop at, or even just a tiny bit past where your line reaches the middle of the card, as shown. Remember - you'll want the scoring to look perfect on the front of the card. If you go past a tiny bit, you won't even see it on the back once the card base is folded.
This is what it looks like after completing Step 2:
Step 3: Rotate your paper and move it to the right side of the Scor-Pal bed, lining up the opposite corner into the notch at the 7" mark along the top. Score at every 1/2-inch.
This is what it looks like after completing step 3:
Your background is done!
How easy is that?! Now you're ready to finish your card as you desire.
My main image was colored with Prismacolor pencils, matted twice and popped up on dimensionals. The Scripture was heat-embossed, cut out with Nestabilities and also popped up. I finished up with a simple ribbon along the bottom tied into a bow, a scallop border punched bottom, some Dew Drops, photo corners, and paper piercing.
Thanks for stopping by!

this book is not about god.So do not read if you think this book is about god.The word Creative as used in the title refers more to the secular side of our biological creative form than to a one entity creator.

Mark Licht, Crops Field Specialist, Northwest Area
Problem Statement:
Crop producers desire information on crop production that includes production, protection and marketing topics. Often these same producers question the bias of industry based information. Additionally, new pest problems develop or technology changes each year making it necessary to continually seek out current information from unbiased, trustworthy sources.
Programmatic Response:
The statewide Crop Advantage Series has become the one stop, unbiased information shop for many area crop producers. One of the locations is held in Carroll, Iowa. In January 2009, 156 individuals attended, of which approximately 44% under 45 years of age based on post-meeting evaluations.
Attendance at the Carroll location has dramatically increased since 2007 with an increase of 53 participants from 2007 to 2009. Ninety-two percent of the participants rated the meeting good to excellent and 65% of participants where crop producers.
Participants were asked how much, per acre, they estimate to improve profits utilizing information that was presented today. Seventeen indicated $0 - $5, 26 indicated $ - $10, 5 indicated $10 - $20, and 2 indicated greater than $20. Total acres represented were 52,345.
Crop producers in west central Iowa need to be kept up-to-date on crop production and protection information. This conference has become a trustworthy source of unbiased research-based information for decision making.

In winter, it gets so cold in Minnesota, US, that waterfalls can become completely frozen.
The rapidly cascading water of Minnehaha Falls—found near the entrance of the Minnehaha Park—solidified into an amazing sheet of brilliant blue ice during a particularly hard frost.
Some of these beautiful images capture the wonder of standing in the surreal blue glow behind the waterfall.

I'm have a fixed gear and a road bike that I'm very fond of, but I have never tried a recumbent.
I'm looking for speed and I think I'd like one of those long wheelbase dandies with the under-the-seat steering.
If I average 18 mph for a 100 mile century, would I be alot faster, assuming the course is pretty flat on a recumbent?

Each edition of this classic reference has proved to be a benchmark in the developing field of cognitive neuroscience. The fifth edition of The Cognitive Neurosciences continues to chart new directions in the study of the biological underpinnings of complex cognitio—the relationship between the structural and physiological mechanisms of the nervous system and the psychological reality of the mind. It offers entirely new material, reflecting recent advances in the field.
This book offers a concise and accessible introduction to the emerging field of artificial cognitive systems. Cognition, both natural and artificial, is about anticipating the need for action and developing the capacity to predict the outcome of those actions. Drawing on artificial intelligence, developmental psychology, and cognitive neuroscience, the field of artificial cognitive systems has as its ultimate goal the creation of computer-based systems that can interact with humans and serve society in a variety of ways.
Our ordinary, everyday thinking requires an astonishing range of cognitive activities, yet our cognition seems to take place seamlessly. We move between cognitive processes with ease, and different types of cognition seem to share information readily. In this book, David Danks proposes a novel cognitive architecture that can partially explain two aspects of human cognition: its relatively integrated nature and our effortless ability to focus on the relevant factors in any particular situation.
Cognitive neuroscience explores the relationship between our minds and our brains, most recently by drawing on brain imaging techniques to align neural mechanisms with psychological processes. In Mind and Brain, William Uttal offers a critical review of cognitive neuroscience, examining both its history and modern developments in the field. He pays particular attention to the role of brain imaging--especially functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)--in studying the mind-brain relationship.
In The Measure of Madness, Philip Gerrans offers a novel explanation of delusion. Over the last two decades, philosophers and cognitive scientists have investigated explanations of delusion that interweave philosophical questions about the nature of belief and rationality with findings from cognitive science and neurobiology.
The event-related potential (ERP) technique, in which neural responses to specific events are extracted from the EEG, provides a powerful noninvasive tool for exploring the human brain. This volume describes practical methods for ERP research along with the underlying theoretical rationale. It offers researchers and students an essential guide to designing, conducting, and analyzing ERP experiments. This second edition has been completely updated, with additional material, new chapters, and more accessible explanations.
In the last decade, the synergistic interaction of neurosurgeons, engineers, and neuroscientists, combined with new technologies, has enabled scientists to study the awake, behaving human brain directly. These developments allow cognitive processes to be characterized at unprecedented resolution: single neuron activity. Direct observation of the human brain has already led to major insights into such aspects of brain function as perception, language, sleep, learning, memory, action, imagery, volition, and consciousness.
Vision is one of the most active areas in biomedical research, and visual psychophysical techniques are a foundational methodology for this research enterprise. Visual psychophysics, which studies the relationship between the physical world and human behavior, is a classical field of study that has widespread applications in modern vision science. Bridging the gap between theory and practice, this textbook provides a comprehensive treatment of visual psychophysics, teaching not only basic techniques but also sophisticated data analysis methodologies and theoretical approaches.
The idea that a specific brain circuit constitutes the emotional brain (and its corollary, that cognition resides elsewhere) shaped thinking about emotion and the brain for many years. Recent behavioral, neuropsychological, neuroanatomy, and neuroimaging research, however, suggests that emotion interacts with cognition in the brain. In this book, Luiz Pessoa moves beyond the debate over functional specialization, describing the many ways that emotion and cognition interact and are integrated in the brain.
In Plato's Camera, eminent philosopher Paul Churchland offers a novel account of how the brain constructs a representation—or "takes a picture"—of the universe's timeless categorical and dynamical structure. This construction process, which begins at birth, yields the enduring background conceptual framework with which we will interpret our sensory experience for the rest of our lives. But, as even Plato knew, to make singular perceptual judgments requires that we possess an antecedent framework of abstract categories to which any perceived particular can be relevantly assimilated.

Encounter with a rabid Neighborhood Patrol
I went for my run last night at 10PM. Was wearing running shorts and shirt with reflective tape, hydration belt, and of course had my earphones in.
When you start breaking the law to stop the BG you then become the BG. Infringing upon peoples freedom only leads to you ultimately loosing yours. I swear people need to get a clue about what it is they are doing. It would be smart to train, become knowledgeable of current laws and licensed to carry if you're going to be a neighborhood watch member. Key word is Watch. Leave LE to LEOs.
Stupidity kills...just not near enough.
The mentality of some Neighbourhood Watch Groups is whacked out. Some of them are wanna be LEO's and since they don't have what it takes to be one, they resort to the alternative of Outside Mall Ninja types.
It is painfully obvious you are out running, hence the "dressed for the occasion" attire. Maybe these two brain surgeons failed to figure that one out and just decided to flex their muscle and insist you "respect their authority." Some day they are going to confront the wrong person and get tapped center mass with a large caliber pistol, even if they do have the magnetic automobile thing prominently displayed.
Unless you became a threat, they needed to stay in place and be a watch group, not one of action.
Man i run with my rig and im still jumpy from my 3 tours...intersections freak me out so i run in the country. If a van cut me off it would be bad news for them.
This could have been prevented had you been wearing your concealed carry badge.
Awkward silence follows...
Next time run with the wife. I want to hear about, how she sprayed these idiots down.......
According to the LEO, you mouthing a name would avoid trouble? Far more true, two unnamed/unknown persons who aren't LEO can avoid trouble if they don't seek it via in-your-face contact.
Neighborhood Watch watcher = WATCHER, not reserve or wannabe LEO.
I'm with you: with such aggressive, in-your-face tactics, they're lucky they don't end up sprayed, shot or dead. I'd be steamed, too.
"No brains left." That's about right.

Be carefull I followed the directions the cloves was overpowering! I did have to add more apple juice!I would make next time with the most 10 cloves. I also added water to thin the sweetness after simmering for 30 minutes. I did enjoy it!
Great recipe Mimi- thanks. We made this a few times over the Thanksgiving weekend. Had some cavalos to use up from antother recipe (oh, darn). Took advice of another rater and didn't use quite as many cloves- but I think we liked it best with a bit more ginger. I guess that's all up to personal taste. Thanks for giving us a great recipe to play with. I think I'll try a star anise next time if I have it on hand.

The Portland Timbers added Argentine forward Maximiliano Urruti on Monday in a trade that sends forward Bright Dike to Toronto FC.
The 22-year-old Urruti scored five goals in 28 matches for Newell's Old Boys in the 2012-13 season of Argentina's top league. He signed with Toronto FC on Aug. 17 and played in two MLS matches.
Urruti did not play for Toronto in Saturday's match against the Timbers.
Portland coach Caleb Porter said Urruti fits the Timbers style of high-pressure soccer and is a player the team had its eye on prior to his signing with Toronto.
"Urruti will complement the depth we have in the striker position, and once he is acclimated and match fit, will bring a dimension to the (striker) role that we've been looking for," Porter said.
Urruti gives the Timbers added depth up front. Ryan Johnson — acquired from Toronto before this season — has eight goals in league games this season. Jose Valencia, who made his first start against Toronto, and injured veteran Frederic Piquionne are also options in the striker slot.
Dike, 26, was one of the first players signed by the Timbers when they joined Major League Soccer in 2010. He played in 23 matches for Portland, 12 of those in 2012 when he scored five goals. Preseason injuries limited Dike's availability in 2011 and this season.
Porter praised Dike's character and ability, but said the opportunity to acquire Urruti made it the right move for the Timbers now and in the future.
"This will be a great opportunity for him to contribute immediately to Toronto FC, and we know he is looking forward to the next chapter in his career," Porter said.
As art of Monday's trade, the Timbers also sent to Toronto allocation money and a first-round pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. Portland received an international roster slot through Dec. 31, 2013.

Dungarpur : Michelin's recommendations
Extending along the banks of a lake amid a landscape of unspoilt hills, the tranquil city of Dungarpur was founded in the 13C by the older branch of the Sisodya dynasty. This capital of an independent kingdom, which was located too far away from the main commercial routes to enjoy the same growth as Udaipur, has preserved its provincial appearance. With its Rajput fort, 18C palace (Udai Bilas) and bazaar, it has the perfect attractions to entice visitors keen to experience "traditional India".

Juna Mahal
IND - Dungarpur 314001
Constructed in the 13C, the Juna Mahal meets the essentially military standards of the day. However, behind the severe, typically Rajput façade, there are wall paintings created in surprisingly vivid colours: hunting parties and episodes from the lif..

You, dear reader, are here because you "get it." You understand (or if not you still hope to understand) what is the point of a wine blog in the first place. You're out there (here?) enjoying finding out about wine and exploring your passion in a new medium. Chances are, if you're like many readers, this is only one of several wine blogs that you read, or at least check in with from time to time.
We wine bloggers thank you for your continued support, and in that spirit of support I would like to urge you to participate in the second annual American Wine Blog Awards that are going on right now over at Tom Wark's blog, Fermentation. This set of awards aims to recognize the best of what the English-language wine blogging world has to offer, but it needs input from the most important people in the process: the people who actually read them.
The awards are currently taking nominations in various award categories (8 in all). Vinography has graciously been nominated in a few already, so I don't need you to stuff the ballot boxes with my name (I will be groveling for your votes later, not to worry). What I need you to do is go over there and nominate any of the other wine blogs out there in the world that you think are worth paying attention to. From the big names to the undiscovered gems, these awards can only be as good as the pool of nominees.
Nominations will be taken until February 27th. Thank you again for your support, not just of Vinography, but of all the folks who sit in front of their keyboards blogging about wine for the world.

Update Notes
Updated on: 06/22/2015
Since we last visited NylonFeetVideos...
Just because the site is called Nylon Feet Videos doesn't mean their feet are made of nylon. Okay, I know you didn't really think that, but I needed a bad joke to get this review started. However, I'm happy to tell you that this site is actually quite good whether you have a foot fetish, a thing for chicks wearing nylons, or both.
The three things you should know about NylonFeetVideos are: the video collection is impressive, the quality of the content certainly makes it worthwhile and you won't understand anything the performers are saying unless you happen to speak Russian. So if dialogue is your highest priority, you shouldn't join.
The site has a history of making you wait for new content and as I look at it today it's been 10 months since the last update, so this could pretty much be it for any new growth. But you still get a good amount. There are 435 movies and the more recent ones are in HD with the older videos still good in quality. You can download them in a full-length Windows Media format and stream them in Flash. When it comes to images there are only vid caps.
While every scene finds some cute chick in a pair of thigh-high stockings, fishnets or pantyhose, there's still some variety. You get lesbians, straight couples, hardcore licking and fucking, and feet and nylon-focused sets. You can't do much with them though aside from give a rating. There are no tags or sorting options or a place to post comments.
When it comes to additional content, you get access to one bonus site upon signing up and then another one each week for as long as you remain a member. There are tons of sites that are part of the Ferro Network, including Pantyhose For Ladies, Nylon Feet Line and Pantyhose Screen. Those are some theme-related examples, but other niches are also covered.
Nylon Feet Videos provides you with videos that star some of the hottest Euro pantyhose maniacs that money can buy. It would be nice if it was updating, but it's still worth checking out given its size and quality.
* 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.

Circus Party Ideas
Is your little one a fan of circuses and carnivals? Then throw your child an entertaining birthday bash worthy of the Big Top with our Circus Party Ideas! We offer suggestions for everything from circus invitations to carnival party games. So read on and let the show begin!

Circus Games & Activities
Planning & Invitations
What Do I Need For the Party?
In addition to basic Circus party supplies, like plates, cups, napkins and decorations, you may want to consider purchasing, borrowing or renting the following items for your Circus party:
- Clown costumes
- A popcorn machine
- A bubble Machine
- Snow cone or cotton candy makers
- Prizes for the party games
- Disposable cameras
Creative invitations build excitement and can increase attendance at your party. If you have time to make your own, here are some ideas to get you started:
- Design each invitation to resemble a circus ticket.
- Make clown faces out of paper bags and write the invitation information on the back. Add a few pieces of candy to the envelope before sending.
- Attach a card-style invitation to a bag of circus peanuts or a box of animal crackers and hand-deliver them to your guests.
- Attach a card-style invitation to a big red nose and ask your guests to wear the nose to the party.
- Send each invitation inside a flattened popcorn bag.
- Be creative with the party details! Here is an example of a poem you can use:
Come one, come all to the greatest show in town,
Join Taylor on his birthday and prepare to clown around.
We'll play carnival games and eat yummy food too,
A whole day of excitement is in store for you!
If you would rather not make your own invitations, but would still like a personalized touch, consider our personalized invitations! We'll include your child's name and all the party details on a background that complements your circus theme. Or check out our blank circus invitations and fill in the details yourself.
Decorating & Food Ideas
- Circus Tent: Use brightly-colored streamers to form a canopy over the center of the table, simulating a circus tent. The streamers should cascade from a point in the middle (i.e. the center of the ceiling or a chandelier), down and out to the sides of the room. You can also hang red, blue, and yellow plastic table covers from the ceiling down over the walls of the party room to make it look like the inside of a circus tent.
- Circus Table Decorations: Decorate the party tables with red, blue and yellow table covers topped with centerpieces made from clusters of your child's stuffed animals. You could also make centerpieces using tall popcorn boxes with balloons and streamers coming out of the center of each box.
- Trapezes: Create flying trapezes by stringing rope though empty paper towel tubes and hanging them throughout the party space. Then, set one of your own stuffed animals on each trapeze.
- Admission Tickets: As your guests arrive, hand each an admission ticket. You can purchase rolls of admission tickets, make your own, or print copies of our Carnival Tickets on cardstock and cut them out.
- Easy Clown Costumes: Provide each guest with a red clown nose and a Clown Hat as they arrive.
- Strongman's Barbell: Make a fake barbell by gluing a plastic ball to each end of a wooden dowel. Spray paint the whole thing black, and add the words "500 lbs." to each end with a white paint.
- Circus Posters: Make easy circus posters using pages from any circus coloring book. Just enlarge the pages at an office supply store, and then color them yourself with craft paint or watercolor crayons, which cover large areas easily. Or, create circus signs with craft paint and poster board. Include wording such as: "Welcome to the Greatest Show on Earth!", "Under the Big Top!", or "AMAZING!" Hang the posters on the walls throughout the party space.
- Circus Pinata: We offer a selection of traditional and pull-string pinatas, but any traditional pinata can be converted to a pull-string using our easy instructions.
- Ticket Booth: Set up a ticket booth at the front door or at the entrance to the party area. Have an adult wearing a top hat or clown outfit manage the ticket booth. He or she can distribute carnival tickets, which your guests can exchange for candy or prizes.
- Three-Ring Circus: Use three hula hoops to form a "three-ring circus" in the party area. Flip a small, cylindrical trashcan upside down to make a stand in one of the circles, and set a stuffed elephant, lion or other circus animal on top.
- Clowning Around: Ask an older child or adult to dress as a clown and make balloon animals for the children. Use our easy Balloon Animal Kit that includes an instruction book, balloons, and a balloon inflator. There's no need to master the entire book! One or two basic shapes will delight your guests.
- Circus Music: Circus, carnival, or other peppy music will add to the atmosphere. Check the Internet, a local book or music store, or a library for CDs or tapes with appropriate songs like "Elephant's March."
When it comes to food, partygoers are usually perfectly content to eat pizza or hotdogs, which is certainly much easier on the hosts! However, if you have the time and would like to serve up some more interesting treats, consider these ideas:
- Traditional Circus Fare: Offer food the kids might find at the circus, such as corn dogs, cotton candy, popcorn, cracker jacks, pretzels, peanuts in the shell, lemonade, and cola or root beer floats.
- Clown Ice Cream: Make clown heads using scoops of bright orange or raspberry sherbet topped with sugar cone "hats" surrounded by rings of icing "ruffles." Make faces using round, red candy for the noses (try gumballs), M&Ms for the eyes, and red licorice strings for the mouths. Make these ahead of time, and freeze them until you're ready to serve them to your guests.
- Concession Stand : Make a poster for the food area that says "Concession Stand", and include pictures of the snacks you'll be serving. If desired, you can give the kids a few additional tickets that they can use to "buy" party food. For added fun, ask an older sibling or neighbor to dress as a clown and hand out the snacks.
- Fun Drinks: Add a shaped silly straw to each guest's drink.
- Fresh Popcorn: Consider renting a commercial popcorn machine to give your circus an authentic feel. Everyone loves freshly-popped popcorn! For added fun, serve the popcorn in red- and white-striped popcorn bags.
- Sweet Circus Treats: Make sweet circus treats for your guests using a borrowed, rented or purchased snow cone maker or cotton candy machine.
- Ice Cream Surprise: Ask a local ice cream truck to make a stop at the party.
- Funny Fruit: Display a fruit tray in the shape of a clown face. Try using apple slices to form the face, strawberries for the red hair and nose, red grapes for the eyes and the smile, and blueberries for a hat. (Tip: Soak the apple slices in lemon juice and water and they will be less likely to brown.)
- Animal Crackers: Serve animal crackers right out of the box!
- A Fun Bagged Lunch: Serve your guests their snacks in popcorn bags. Fill each bag with a hotdog wrapped in foil, ketchup and mustard packets, animal cracker cookies, and a juice box.
Party Favor Ideas
Thank your guests for attending your child's Circus Party by giving them fun party favors like
- Silly straws
- Animal crackers
- Animal stickers and temporary tattoos
- Water squirt toys
- A swirl pop, bag of cotton candy or bag of popcorn
- Bubbles

General Cycling disscussion
I like pie
me, it's foo
Sort of equally divided b/w Commuting and Foo-ey... and also the Roadie forum.
I can't safely pick between Road Cycling and Foo, so I picked "I like pie".
If you notice this notice then you will notice that this notice is not worth noticing.
I shuffle between BMX, MTB and Foo. Sometimes General Cycling.
I wish there was the option to vote for more than one. I spend my time primarily in cycling mechanics, general cycling, and foo
ummm mostly in foo, tryed a few other but havent quite picked up another place.
OK QUESTION: where did this "i like pie" thing start?... i see is EVERYWHERE ... i like pie to... but not THAT much
dont look too hard
Road cycling. I couldn't justify joining a cycling forum and spending most of my time in "foo" not talking about bikes and cycling. I also seem to visit General Cycling more than I used to.

Yeah, I think the people who vote in this poll are going to be a bit biased since you're asking it in Foo. I voted Foo, but during the summer, I spend more time in Mountain Biking and Mechanics.
Using tabbed browsing, I always have mechanics, commuting, general discussion and foo open on my screen. Anytime one of my graphics programs throws up a progress bar or I have to wait on the print server, I jump over and refresh them.
That's gonna leave a mark.
I like pie means SS/Fix, right? That is where it first started infecting this board...
I ususally click on "View New Posts" and see where that takes me.

I used to post lots and lots of jokes in the jokes forum, but I got bored with that. Now I usually glance at ALL the forums but mainly post on Foo.

Berry Tramel: Ron Artest of old? Not in a Lakers uniform
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Talking to Ron Artest is like, I don't know, talking to an android. Or a Vulcan. Soft voice. Emotionless. Hollow. What's the opposite of bravado? That describes Artest, sitting on a piece of workout equipment at the Laker practice facility, talking with an Oklahoma writer. "I don't think I did anything special," Artest said a day after holding Kevin Durant to 7-of-24 shooting in Game 1 of the Thunder-Laker series. "I just move on to the next day." Where's the volatility? The outrageousness? Where's the kook who said he drank cognac at halftime of some games? The thug who instigated the ugly Pacers-Pistons brawl of 2004? The public enemy who's been arrested for domestic abuse and whose dog was seized for lack of feeding? Nowhere in this Laker compound. Not on this Laker team. "One of my favorite teammates ever," said Kobe Bryant. Phil Jackson, who in a previous life coached the original Artest, Dennis Rodman, calls Artest a "nice, innocent lamb." Jackson does so with a smile, knowing you won't buy it. But even though Artest went all Rodman and celebrated the opening of these playoffs with orange and now yellow hair, don't compare the two. "Couldn't be a bigger disparity," Jackson said, this time not smiling. Oh, really? Tell us more, tell us more. "I just said what Ron is," Jackson said. "I'm not going to say what Dennis was." No need. Rodman was a loony-tune. The evidence is building that Artest is not. The evidence is building that Artest, while an emotionally charged personality with perhaps anger issues over the years, is a little more grounded than the caricature we've come to believe in the last decade. Artest gave out his phone number over the internet so fans could call him. Took 50 of them bowling one night. Has become a regular dinner guest to one average family in the LA area. Call it a so-far successful gamble for Laker general manager Mitch Kupchak, who signed Artest last summer. Last May, Kobe shot an elbow to the throat of Artest in the Laker-Rocket playoff series, and Artest went ballistic. Had to be tossed from the game. But Artest wanted to live in Los Angeles. Wanted to be a Laker. Wanted to be Kobe's teammate. And the Lakers wanted Artest. And now you know why. Artest's defense remains supreme. Tough, physical, game-changing. Durant has scored decently in this 2-2 series, averaging 26.8 points a game, but shots haven't come easy. Durant is 33-of-86 shooting. Artest has padlocked himself to Durant's body and made life miserable for the NBA's youngest superstar. "He plays so hard all the time," Kobe said of Artest. "His focus is always there, no matter what he's doing off the court." Signing Artest still might not pay off. He's got a $33 million, five-year contract. Artest already is 30, and his offense has slipped. Not as good a shooter, not as aggressive on off0ense. But Artest still can play lockdown defense. And he's been the least of the Laker problems in the locker room. "I guess the No. 1 surprise is the ease with which he's fit in," Kupchak said. "Everyone's familiar with Ron and his past. But he's been a great teammate on the court and off the court. There have been no problems." Laker Luke Walton said he had no preconceived notions about Artest. "I didn't know him; I try not to make opinions on people I don't know," Walton said. But "he's been an unbelievable teammate. Unselfish. That's how he's been the whole time he's been here. "Everyone knows he's got some issues in his past. But he's been an outstanding teammate since he's been in LA. You can't hide that for as long as he's here." So there sits Artest, talking softly and saying nothing, his hair a carved out yellow, admitting to nothing, including his obvious good defense against Durant. And you wonder if this most volatile of NBA players has grown up or just grown old. Berry Tramel: 405-760-8080; Berry Tramel can be heard Monday through Friday from 4:40-5:20 p.m. on The Sports Animal radio network, including AM-640 and FM-98.1.

This review is from: ADATA DashDrive UD311 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Model AUD311-32G-RBL
Pros: Small Size
Cons: There was no lanyard in the package...
Other Thoughts: The device does not light up when beign accessed, unlike ADATA's V3 MicroSD USB V3 reader (which is great). I considered taking an egg off for this, but I suppose there might be a good reason for omitting that feature (sometimes less is more)... probably something to do with their new "Advanced COB Manufacturing Process".

About 2,200 Marines and sailors are conducting nearly two weeks of training around Virginia.
The Camp Lejeune, N.C.-based 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit is training at Fort Pickett in Blackstone. But officials say they also will perform smaller group exercises at other locations.
Military officials say training in towns can give the unit experience dealing with urban areas.
Residents may see Marine vehicles on roads and aircraft from the Marine unit flying overhead and practicing setting down in previously cleared landing zones until Jan. 24.
The unit is preparing for a scheduled spring deployment overseas aboard several Navy amphibious ships. The Virginia work-up is part of a 26-week training program.

We have deliberately excluded the obvious, such as Simon and Garfunkel's Joe DiMaggio namedrop, and 10CC's cricket anthem 'Dreadlock Holiday'.
So that means there is no room for football songs (sorry New Order fans), or references to American sports in American hip-hop, because everyone does it, all the time.
However, there are plenty of unusual namedrops, both in terms of those references or the type of artist concerned.
If you have any other sports in music tips, feel free to post them below!
1. Matthew Maynard (cricket) – Manic Street Preachers: Mr Carbohydrate
(Warning - contains swearing)
But he was a fine batsman and wicketkeeper in his day, playing in four Test matches for England between 1988 and 1994. Arguably he would have won more caps but for a three-year international ban after joining Mike Gatting's rebel tour of South Africa.
Maynard, born in England but brought up in Wales, was deemed worthy of mention in Manic Street Preachers b-side Mr Carbohydrate, which appeared alongside 1996 hit single 'Design For Life' (you know, the one that lads without heavy eyeliner bought).
Have you heard of Matthew Maynard, he's my favourite cricketer
I would rather watch him play than pick up my guitar, than play with my guitar
Randomness rating: 8/10
2. Tour de France (cycling) – Kraftwerk: Tour de France
The track spawned several remixes and reworkings – or 'Etapes' as they were cutely named – including the 2003 concept album of the same name. Originally intended to coincide with the race's centenary, it came out a couple of months late.
Original versions were penned both in German and French (appropriately), but below is a translation into English.
Lyrical excerpt:
The hell of north Paris-Roubaix, the Cote d'Azur and Saint Tropez
The Alps and the Pyrennees, last stage Champs-Elysees...
Randomness rating: 6/10
3. Muhammad Ali (boxing) – The Hours: Ali in the Jungle
(Warning - contains swearing)
While not strictly speaking about Ali, who is used as one of several similes for facing down adversity, the chorus does specifically reference the noble art.
It didn't quite make the top 100, but the album Narcissus Road charted, and the band have enough of a cult following to justify inclusion.
Like Ali in the jungle, like Nelson in jail
Like Simpson on the mountain, With odds like that, they were bound to fail
Everybody gets knocked down, Everybody gets knocked down
How quick are you gonna' get up? How quick are you gonna' get up?
Randomness rating: 6/10
4. Roy Keane (football) – Morrissey: Roy's KeenManchester United fan Moz is prone to romantic references to sports, particularly football and boxing. He even has a ditty named 'Munich Air Disaster 1958'. Cheery.
Roy's Keen makes the cut because it was an embarrassingly poor pun in reference to United midfielder Keane, and it was a bit of a dud tune to boot.
Even more strangely, it isn't really about Roy Keane, but an amorous window cleaner of the same name. Later, it transpired that Moz was related to another Irish footballer named Keane – Robbie, whose dad is his great uncle, or something.
The ladder's a planet, Roy is a star band I am a satellite
I will be set alight, Roy's keen, Roy's keen
We've never seen a keener window cleaner, oh!
Randomness rating: 6/10
5. John Terry (football) – Rizzle Kicks: Lost GenerationChelsea captain John Terry in their new single.
Unsurprisingly, it is a reference to his race-row with Anton Ferdinand, or rather to his "black friends". By which we assume he means Ashley Cole.
No doubt you've already heard and grown to love this seminal track by one of the greatest musical acts of the last 100 years. But if, by any small chance, you've not yet had the pleasure of repeatedly listening to this magic-tinged track for the ages, Terry's pals are cited as an example of extreme confusion.
When I heard people buy (youtube) views
I was more confused than all John Terry's black friends
Watch your mouth son!
Randomness rating: 5/10
6. Red Star Belgrade (football) – Billy Bragg: Sexuality
One of the most amusing was "I had an uncle who once played, for Red Star Belgrade", which was particularly amusing given it apparently had no context or reference to the song's theme.
I had an uncle who once played for Red Star Belgrade
He said some things are really left best unspoken, but I prefer it all to be out in the open
Randomness rating: 7/10
Feature: Things that will never happen at the Wireless Festival
7. Bert Millichip and Jimmy Hill (football) – The Fall: Kicker Conspiracy
(Warning - contains swearing)
In this 1983 single, he goes on a profane rant about Jimmy Hill, former FA chairman Bert Millichip, George Best's drinking, the European Commission and an apparently fictional sports reporter named Pat McGatt.
All while screaming "HOT DOGS AND SEAT FOR MR HOGG!! AAAAND HIS GROTTYSPAWN", repeatedly.
As with much early Fall, it is nearly unlistenable, but hilarious.
Lyrics: Look them up

8. Bayern Munich (football) – Die Toten Hosen: Bayern
So you may find it strange that such a group would pen a tribute to the dominant Bavarians – which is fine, because this is precisely the opposite.
Hardcore Fortuna Dusseldorf fans, they roar "no matter how tough my life was, I would never go to the Bayern Munich".
Uli Hoeness, who is namechecked in the song, described it as "the kind of filth that will ruin society". With comments like that, it's hard not to sympathise with DTH…
Lyrical excerpt (translated from German):
If Uli Hoeness came knocking, I would not open the door
Because for me it's out of question, to spoil my character
With people like Bavarians - I would never play for Bayern!

9. Luis Boa Morte (football) – Craig David: Rendezvous (remix)
"Re-e-wind, when the crowd says bo, selecta!" is widely regarded as the finest moment in UK R'n'B star David's career, but the Eurosport office disagrees.
No, the strong-chinned crooner's finest moment was a cheeky reference to former Arsenal and Fulham winger Boa Morte in a remix of 2001 hit single 'Rendezvous'.
The context is as hilarious as the content, as – clearly not talking about his prowess on the football pitch – DJ Blacksmith threatens to "score more ways than Luis Boa Morte", rhyming it with "sauté" and "forte" in the process. Boing!
The duo are pictured at the top of the article, in their 2001 heyday.
She said 'can you cook?' - I took her hand and said 'Tanya, look
'I can sauté but foreplay's my forte' - Gonna score more ways than Luis Boa Morte

10. Shakhtar Donetsk (football) – Joe Strummer: Shakhtar Donetsk
Promised a better life, the fellow arrives in the UK in the back of a lorry wearing a Shakhtar Donetsk scarf given to him by his father, himself an immigrant from the Ukraine. What's worse is that he ends up living in Shadwell.
Anyway, the track itself is pretty tiresome, but the context is about as random as you can get.
He had the wooly scarf of Shaktar Donetsk, nay, the banner of freedom wrung around his neck
Inherited from his father, one of the Ukraine exiles of Yugoslavia
Randomness rating: 8/10
11. Dukla Prague (football) – Half Man Half Biscuit: All I Want for Christmas is a Dukla Prague Away Kit
They were the dominant force in Czechoslovakian football in the 1960s, but fell away before folding in 1995.
There is a team by the same name in the Czech top flight, but they are unconnected, having taken the moniker in 2001.
The song is about playing with a 'rich' kid from school who has a train set and Subutteo set complete with a team wearing the Dukla Prague away kit. Oh, the envy.
So he sent his doting mother up the stairs with the stepladder to get the Subutteo out of the loft
It had all the accessories required for that big-match atmosphere, the crowd and the dugout, and the floodlights too
And you'd always get palmed off with a headless centre-forward, and a goal-keeper with no arms - and a face like his.
And he'd managed to get hold of a Dukla-Prague Away Kit
Randomness rating: 10/10
Special mention should also go to Ash and the Super Furry Animals, whose Kung Fu and Man Don't Give a F*** singles had artwork containing famous shots of footballers Eric Cantona and Robin Friday respectively. Also, fellow indie rockers Wedding Present released an album called "George Best", despite the former Manchester United footballer not being a theme of any of its songs.

One of our users uses pivot tables a lot. She often called me about Excel crashing from time to time without being able to reproduce the problem. Today we have found a way to reproduce the crash every time. Here's how (Excel is in French at work, translations may be off):
Select three cells from the pivot table
Select Conditional formatting -> Highlight rules (first one) -> Other rules
Select "Apply formatting only to first or last values" in the new window
Hit OK
Excel will stop responding. Below is the Event from the Windows Event viewer (Bing translated from French):

This is on my computer. I have Office 2013 64 bits with no add-ins and have been able to reproduce the same issue as hers. She has Office 2010 32 bits with some add-ins (mainly for VBA scripting and formulas).
I can't deactivate DDE since pivot tables will stop working.
The error on her PC is the same as mine.
The error will still show up with Excel in safe mode. (/s)
On both her PC and mine there is nothing checked on the compatibility tab for Excel.
This is a really weird and annoying issue, and so far I haven't been able to fix it.

Cross post from the road forum. I thought you guys might fly with your bikes for touring purposes a bunch too.
Thanks for any help.
I'm going to be doing an unpaid internship with an HIV/AIDS NGO in Zambia this summer and I really wanted to take one of my bikes with me.
I was wondering what people recommended. I know there have been posts on this before, but I wanted to see how things had lasted since people last used them since the threads a little old.
The bikebag.de soft case looks pretty neat and well built, how is that? Would a hard case be better than that?
Thanks for the help choosing!

It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Harold Korell, Executive Chairman of the Board for Southwestern Energy Company. Thank you, sir, you may begin.
Harold Korell
Steve Mueller, our Chief Executive Officer and Greg Kerley, our Chief Financial Officer, are here with me today. If you have not received a copy of yesterday's press release regarding our third quarter results, you can call 281-618-4847 to have a copy faxed to you.
Also I would like to point out that many of the comments during our teleconference are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties affecting outcomes many of which are beyond our control, and are discussed in more detail in the risk factors and forward-looking statements section of our annual and quarterly filings with the SEC. Although we believe the expectations expressed are based on reasonable assumptions, they are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results or developments may differ materially.
We had a solid quarter despite depressed natural gas prices, which were at a seven year low and the various curtailment issues we experienced related to the maintenance and repairs of the Boardwalk Pipeline. We do not expect these factors to weigh us heavily in the fourth quarter of '09 as the Boardwalk Pipeline was placed online sooner than we had expected and as gas prices appear to be moving higher than they had been over the past nine months.
As a result of the Boardwalk Pipeline being back online, we were able to reach another milestone last week, when we surpassed one Bcf of net production per day as a company. Meantime in other areas things continue to heat up in Pennsylvania as joint ventures are being formed, companies drill and report higher rate wells, and pay high prices in and around our acreage position. Our plan is to begin an active drilling program there in 2010.
In addition, as we detailed in our earnings release, good things are happening on our acreage in East Texas both in the James Lime and the Haynesville. As we look ahead, we see continued profitable growth in our production reserves, which coupled with our low cost structure will [create] tremendous value for Southwestern Energy and its shareholders.
I will now turn the teleconference over to Steve for more details on our E&P and midstream activities and then to Greg for an update on our financial results, and then we'll be available for questions afterwards.
Steve Mueller
During the third quarter of 2009, we produced 73.2 Bcfe, up 38% from third quarter of 2008. Our Fayetteville Shale production was 58.8 Bcf, 60% greater than the 37.2, we produced in the third quarter of 2008. Our remaining third quarter production came from East Texas, where we produced nine Bcf and 5.3 Bcf from our conventional Arkoma properties.
As discussed last quarter, repairs and maintenance on the Texas Gas Transmission pipeline often referred to as Boardwalk Pipeline, laterals for the Fayetteville and Greenville areas, servicing our shale caused us to experience curtailments that impacted our ability to transport our production. Beginning on October 8, the Fayetteville lateral was placed back into service after being shutdown since September 1. The Greenville lateral was placed back in service in October after the shutdown.
The completion of these repairs ahead of our anticipated schedule as well as the continued strong performance of our Fayetteville Shale and East Texas wells are the reasons for revising our previous gas and oil production guidance for 2009 from 278 to 288 Bcf to the new range of 297 to 300 Bcfe. At this higher production guidance, we expect to have production growth of approximately 53% over 2008 levels.
In the first nine months of 2009, we invested approximately $1.2 billion in our exploration and production business activities and participated in drilling 476 wells, of this amount approximately $1 billion or 81% was for drilling wells. Additionally, we invested $167 million in our midstream segment, almost entirely in the Fayetteville Shale. Speaking of the Fayetteville Shale, we invested approximately $1 billion in the first nine months of 2009 in this play, including both our E&P and midstream activities.
At October 24, our gross production rate was approximately 1.23 Bcf per day, double the 600 million per day from a year ago. We currently have 17 drilling rigs running in the Fayetteville, 13 in are capable drilling horizontal wells and four smaller rigs that are used to drill the vertical portion of the holes. During the third quarter our horizontal wells had an average completed well cost of $2.9 million per well, average horizontal length of 4,100 feet and average time to drill to total depth of 12 days from out entry to reentry.

Photo by Staff Sgt. Jason Hull
Paratroopers of the 1st Battalion, 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, seek cover after placing a "doughnut charge" on a door during the battalion's breachers course, on Fort Bragg, N.C., Aug. 9. Made with looped detonation cord, the doughnut charge was timed to give the team 30 seconds to get to safety before the explosion occurred. The "Red Falcons," currently part of the nation's Global Response Force, held a breachers training course designed to equip infantry team members with the skills necessary to employ mechanical, ballistic and explosive means of gaining rapid entry into locked structures in support of contingency noncombatant evacuation operations.

My husband and I decided to purchase this beautiful condominium due to its location. We currently live in Poway, both of us are retired --travel frequently--and enjoy everything San Diego has to offer.
Adriana Mangus, Michelle Ferrell purchased this condo in 2010
As soon as I walked into this beautiful, peaceful and tranquil place, I turned to my real estate agent and friend Ralph, and said to him: 'I want this place, this is mine'. Almost four years later, I still find this place so cozy and warm, I couldn't be happier. I have had the most fun and also peaceful times in this condo, my husband, family and friends agree with me. It's a jewel!!!
Beautiful setting, tranquil and peaceful afternoons, enjoy a glass of wine, a cup of your favorite tea and catch up with some reading. Or do nothing! just close your eyes and relax by the pool.
We very much enjoyed our stay at this beautiful condo. Very interesting and nice furnishings. Much more space than the two of us needed. The golf course view was great! We entertained a couple of times and thoroughly enjoyed a glass of wine in front of the fireplace! Enclosed parking was very convenient. Hope we can enjoy this condo again soon!
This condo was perfect in every way, from the ease of getting there to the immaculate condition that it was in. My wife and I generally eat out at lunch and cook in for the evening. The condo had the kitchen and dining set up for perfect meals and cocktails out on the balcony. The kitchen was well stocked with the all the staples and we bought the rest from Sprouts Grocery just down the street. The furnishings are outstanding and very comfortable beds. It was a perfect get away for the two of us.
Condo was very well equipped and location was perfect for my needs.the views over the golf course was lovely. Very much enjoyed our stay.
Once again, we had the pleasure to stay in this beautiful condo for 4 weeks. Everything was clean, well maintained and ready to enjoy our vacation. We can highly recommend this location for a perfect and peaceful stay.
My wife and I stayed there for a week and found the condo perfect for our needs. Quiet, convenient location, internet access, full kitchen with lots of spices, good AV equipment and an accomodating owner. Having access to the Community Center's facilities (tennis, gym, swimming, etc.) is a another plus.
We stayed for 5 weeks at this beautiful condo, which looked even better than described.The whole place was very clean and well maintained.The kitchen was perfectly equiped.We especially enjoyed the spectacular view from the living- and bedroom facing the golf course and pool.
One good thing was that the parking spot was very nearby the elevator and the elevator also close to the condo.
The owner was very helpful and friendly.
We enjoyed our stay very much, the whole building and pool area were really quiet.Nearby there are a lot of shopping fascilities and restaurants.
We can highly recommend this condo..but not too much :) as we would love to come back.
