I would like to add a DNS server to my configuration (in order to use opennic). I've searched quite a bit but can't find a satisfactory solution, and I'm lost concerning solutions for ubuntu.
I've found a nice tutorial, the graphical part works for me, but I can't make the first part work (and I would like to script it, of course). http://www.ubuntututorials.com/set-dns-server-ubuntu-12-04/ When I add a line "prepend…" and check my DNS address with
nm-tool, it didn't change. Do I need a command to restart a service or something ? They don't say so. (running
service networking restartdoesn't help).
As explained in Arch wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Resolv.conf#Use_resolv.conf.head), we may use a /etc/resolv.conf.head file, but then we need to install the
openresolvpackage in order to run
resolvconf -u. But I'd like my future script to run with no need of external dependency.
So, can someone tell me what file to edit, and what command to run to update the conf ?
I'm using a Debian (Mint Debian) but I would like to know if it is the same on Ubuntu. I read things changed since Ubuntu 12.04, so a lot of tutorials on the net are outdated (specially writing to
/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf is deprecated).
Thanks !

How to use biblatex with LyX (or How to fool biblatex and LyX in order to let them cooperate)
What is biblatex?
Biblatex follows a completely new approach to bibliography management as it reimplements almost everything on the LaTeX side. It originally used bibtex for preprocessing but now biber is the preferred preprocessor for biblatex. Please refer to this page for more information.
Using BibLaTeX with LyX
LyX doesn't provide native support for biblatex yet. However, it is possible to use it with some effort, as described here. The biblatex manual strongly advises to use biber or at least bibtex8 instead of the traditional bibtex to process the data, because the capacities of traditional bibtex are too limited for biblatex. The best choice is definitely biber, a bibliography processor written in Perl and specifically designed for biblatex as a bibtex replacement. Biber has no resource limits, it can deal with unicode and many other encodings, and provides extra hooks that allow biblatex to perform some complex tasks. Even though biblatex still can be used with bibtex8 and even traditional bibtex, some complex things only work with biber. Check which backend works for you by compiling these two simple examples. Then continue reading to find out how it was all made to work:
This step gives you the possibility of inserting citations from the standard LyX citation dialog.
Note on the natbib compatibility mode: The natbib=true option in the call of biblatex loads its natbib compatibility module. The module defines aliases for the citation commands provided by the natbib package. This includes aliases for the core citation commands \citet and \citep as well as the variants \citealt and \citealp.
These citation commands (or styles) can be invoked from the drop-down menu in Insert→Citation... if the Citation Style is set to natbib in Document→Settings→Bibliography. LyX, however, has to be tricked into not exporting the actual call to the natbib package by the following line in the document's local layout Document→Settings→Local Layout
Make sure you press the Validate button before applying the change.
Note on using bibtex (or bibtex8) instead of biber:
BibLaTeX originally used bibtex for pre-processing but now biber is its preferred pre-processor. If you want to use biblatex with classic bibtex or 8bit-character-aware bibtex8 nonetheless, you must pass the option
Then go to Document→Settings→Bibliography and change the
Note on XeTeX and polyglossia:
If you use XeTeX with the polyglossia language package, you will need to manually load the polyglossia package in the preamble just before the above call to biblatex, and set the default language, as follows:
Otherwise, you'll get LaTeX errors of the following kind:

Bible B. A. B. E. S : The Inside Dish on Divine Divas
ISBN13:by Stephens, Andrea
Young people learn by example. They actively look for advice from others who have been in the same shoes. Well, who better to seek advice from than the B.A.B.E.s of the Bible-real women who encountered God in a variety of ways and whose stories are applicable to girls even today? Andrea Stephens, in her fun-loving style, shares the in-depth dish on the life and times of seven Old Testament women who were beautiful, accepted, blessed, and eternally significant in their world. As girls get to know these women, they'll find applicable lessons for their own lives, gain insight into God's character, and be encouraged to write their own story about the kind of woman they want to be. Bible verses, reflection questions, and short prayers make this book is perfect for personal quiet time as well as girls' Bible studies and retreats. About the series: The B.A.B.E. books teach girls that true significance is not about their hips or their hairdos, but about their hearts-hearts that are beautiful, accepted, blessed, and eternally significant.

This is a continuation-in-part of co-pending application Ser. No. 39,497, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,324,350 filed May 16, 1979 for "Apparatus For Pressure Dispensing of Fluid".
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to fluid dispensing devices and more particularly, but not by way of limitation, to a gasless, one-piece pressure dispensing tubular unit of elastomeric material, the pressure of which is created by the elastomeric properties of the material after the unit has been expanded by forcing fluid products into the unit under pressure.
2. History of the Prior Art
Pressurized containers for dispensing fluids have achieved a high degree of popularity for handling many types of fluids ranging from sprayable liquids to extrudable viscous fluids. In the prior art, most of the dispensers have utilized a propellant gas for pressurizing the fluid. The cost of the propellant gas is a considerable part of the cost of the device and occupies much of the space that could be used for housing the product. Further, the chemical nature of the propellant gasses used has been found and is believed to be damaging to the environment.
Efforts have been made to utilize elastic bags for the dispensing of fluid in order to obviate the use of propellant gasses. Typical of these attempts are teachings found in the patent to Kain, U.S. Pat. No. 3,940,026, issued Feb. 24, 1976 to Calvin L. Kain.
There has been extreme difficulty in attaching such elastomeric bags to existing valve structures to prevent damage to the bag itself and provide an effective system for dispensing the product.
Further, in the case of elastic bags having uniform cross-sectional shape, the bags tend to expand only in the middle part thereby filling only a portion of the bag leaving the ends unexpanded similar to that experienced in blowing up a new balloon wherein the end portion does not become filled with air.
The net result of these efforts has left the propellant gas dispensing units on the market, along with hand-operated pumps, which are less convenient to use and more difficult to manufacture due to the moving parts associated with such pumps.
The present invention provides a self-contained, one piece fluid dispenser which does not utilize a propellant gas. The dispenser comprises a specially shaped tubular unit made of elastomeric material in which the driving force for dispensing a fluid product is the elastic return force of the tubular unit after having been distended by the introduction of the product therein under pressure.
The tubular unit, in its relaxed form has a substantially cylindrical interior wall, the outside wall being tapered toward a closed end so that the wall thickness at the closed end is less than that at the opposite open end.
Thus, when a fluid product is being forced into the unit under pressure, the bottom will expand first, gradually expanding until the unit has been filled. The amount of fluid that may be contained in the unit will depend on the size of the unit and the return pressure exerted will depend primarily on the thickness or composition of the material.
Further, since the lower or closed end portion of the tubular unit fills first, it necessarily follows that it will be the last portion to empty thereby maintaining the center of gravity of a partially filled unit toward the lower portion of the tubular unit or container making the unit generally more stable.
Size and pressure limitations are also encountered in that it is desired to maintain a substantially constant pressure regardless of the amount of fluid product left in the elastomeric unit. Hence, although quite a lot of products might be contained in any one size elastomeric bag, some diminishing results would be obtained by overfilling the bag to the extent that one would experience rather high pressure when the bag is full, diminishing to a lower pressure when the bag is nearly empty.
The opposite open end of the tubular unit is provided with a flared portion hereinafter referred to as the neck portion which is constructed of the same elastomeric material but of a thickness to resist stretching when the unit is filled. This neck portion is in the form of a truncated conical shape which forms a recess for receiving a valve and valve support thereagainst.
In one embodiment a thin-walled tubular extension is secured to and made an integral part of the outer portion of the neck, the end thereof being provided with a curved flange therearound for securing the tubular unit to readily available valve support structures.
The standard valve support used in aerosol containers comprising a valve cup having a curved flange portion which is crimped around a toroidal ring carried by the crown of the pressure container.
In the present invention the tubular flange is sandwiched between the flange of the valve support and the toroidal ring obviating the necessity for using any adhesives or separate clamping members. Also, since the container for the present invention does not have to support pressure itself, it may be of any suitable construction, or for that matter, may not even be required.
The crimping of the tubular flange is sufficient for securing the tubular unit to the valve support since the thickened portion thereof removes substantially all loading except for tension loads in the tubular extension portion.
A second embodiment teaches a modified valve support which is molded into the tubular expandable unit by a twopart centrifugal molding process thereby producing a self-contained device which may then be inserted into a housing or can.
A plurality of transverse angular ribs may be provided along the length of the tubular unit to achieve a desired increased return pressure and to regulate the shape of the expanded unit when filled. Naturally, the thickness of the material itself also determines return pressure.
The filling of the unit with a product may be accomplished in the well-known manner of filling under pressure through the valve carried by the valve support cup or plate.
Although the tapered construction of the tubular unit and associated neck piece could be used with other valve designs, the present configuration of the tubular extension portion permits the use of off-the-shelf valve and valve support designs and existing filling equipment thereby making the transition to the present system less costly.
Other and further advantageous features of the present invention will hereinafter more fully appear in connection with a detailed description of the drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is an elevational sectional view of a fluid pressure dispensing apparatus embodying the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view of the dispenser of FIG. 1 in an expanded or filled configuration.
FIG. 3 is a sectional elevational view of a second embodiment of the dispenser apparatus embodying the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a partial sectional elevational view of the device of FIG. 3 in an expanded condition.
FIG. 5 is an elevational sectional view of a fluid dispenser representing a second embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 6 is a partial sectional view of the device of FIG. 5.
Referring to the drawings in detail, reference character 10 generally indicates a self-contained pressure dispensing apparatus generally comprising a tubular expandable unit 12 made of elastomeric material, a valve support mechanism 14 and associated push-button valve 16 carried thereby.
The elastomeric tubular unit 12 comprises an elongated tubular unit 18 having a closed end 20 and an opposite open end 22. The tubular unit comprises an inside wall 24 having substantially uniform diameter throughout the length of the unit 18, the outer wall 26 thereof being tapered from the open end 22 inwardly toward, and including, the closed end 20 so that the wall thickness near the closed end 20 is less than the wall thickness at the open end 22. However, it is noted that the important feature is the tapered wall thickness, rather than the cylindrical inner wall. The tubular unit 12 further comprises a truncated conical shaped neck portion 28 having a smaller end 30 secured to the open end 22 of the tubular unit 18 and made as an integral part thereof. The neck portion 28 is considerably thicker in construction to resist stretching for a purpose that will be hereinafter set forth.
A tubular extension portion 32 of a thinner elastomeric material is secured to a larger end 34 of the neck portion 28 and made as an integral part thereof. The tubular extension portion 32 is provided with an outwardly curved flange portion 36 around the outer edge thereof.
The valve support plate or cup 14 generally comprises a cylindrical side wall 38 terminating around the outer edge thereof with an outwardly curved flange portion 40. The lower or inner end of the wall 38 is provided with a base plate 42 having a shaped recess 44 therein for receiving the push-button valve member 16 therein. The recess 44 of the plate 42 is provided with an aperture 46 therein.
The push-button valve member comprises a valve body 48 having an outwardly extending movable stem 50 which is inserted through the aperture 46. The valve stem 50 extends through the valve body 48 into a recess 52 formed by the shape of the neck portion 28 of the tubular unit.
Referring to FIG. 2 of the drawings, reference character 54 generally indicates a tubular housing or container having a top dome portion 56 for carrying the valve support 14. The dome portion 56 has a central opening 58, the interior thereof being molded into a toroidal ring 60.
The interior of the tubular unit 12 is provided with a thin wall liner 62 which may be as a separate stretchable plastic or rubber liner or may comprise a coating of elastic material to the interior wall thereof to provide chemical resistance or a chemical barrier between the product carried within the tubular unit and the elastomeric material making up the tubular unit.
In connecting the valve support 14 and associated valve 16 to the tubular unit 12, the valve support is lowered into place so that the plate 42 thereof is in contact with the neck portion 28 of the tubular unit, the tubular extension 32 either resting directly against the wall 38 of the valve support or with the liner 62 therebetween. The curved flange portion 36 of the tubular extension is placed to partially surround the toroidal ring 60 of the container with the curved flange portion 40 of the valve support also fitting therearound as shown in FIG. 1.
In order to clamp the units together, the inside walls 42 of the valve support plate are swedged outwardly as shown by the dashed lines in FIG. 1 which firmly secures the elastomeric unit 12 to the valve support. It is noted at this point that the toroidal ring 60 may be a separate ring apart from the container 54 or made as an integral part of the container 54.
In order to control the expanded shape and return pressure of the tubular unit 12, a plurality of annular rib members 64 and 66, which are also made of elastomeric material, may be simply positioned along the outer wall 26 of the tubular unit at desired locations.
The use of the annular rings 64 and 66 of elastomeric material as shown in FIG. 1 would permit the manufacture of a single elastomeric unit 12 for several different pressure and shape applications. For example, if an elongated slender shape is desired, several rib members 64 and 66 may be distributed along the length of the elastomeric unit thereby confining the transverse expansion of the unit 12. On the other hand, if increased pressure is desired, elastomeric rib members 64 and 66 may be added which would provide greater return pressure.
A typical example of an expanded unit disposed in an ordinary aerosol container is depicted in FIG. 2. The dashed lines of FIG. 2 indicate the elastomeric unit in a partially filled configuration depicting the filling of the unit taking place in the bottom portion first, which also would be the last portion to empty upon dispensing the fluid therefrom.
Referring now to FIGS. 3 and 4 of the drawings, reference character 12A generally indicates a second embodiment of the elastomeric unit 12 secured to the same valve support 14 and valve mechanism 16.
The elastomeric unit 12A comprises an elongated tubular portion 68 again having a tapered sidewall. The elongated tubular portion 68, however, is provided with a plurality of rib members 70, 72 and 74, which are constructed as an integral part of the elongated member 68. The unit 12A comprises a substantially identical neck portion 28A, a tubular extension 32A and curved flange portion 36A, all substantially identical to the elastomeric unit 12.
Common reference characters have been utilized throughout FIGS. 3 and 4 for the remaining components which are substantially identical to those hereinbefore described.
In this particular embodiment, a container 54A is provided with a dome or end portion 56A having a toroidal ring 76 mounted in the opening thereof. In this case the toroidal ring 76 is depicted as a separate component that may be either welded to the container dome 56A or may be constructed as a separate component for the attachment of the unit 12A directly to the valve support 14 without the use of the container 54A at all.
Referring now to FIGS. 5 and 6 of the drawings, reference character 78 generally indicates an expandable self-contained pressure unit for the dispensing of fluid comprising a tubular expandable unit 80 made from elastomeric material having a first open end 82 and an opposite closed end 84. The wall thickness of the tubular unit 80 at the open end 82 being thicker than the wall at the closed end 84.
A truncated conical shaped neck piece 86 is secured to the open end 82 thereof and made as an integral part thereof. The interior of the neck piece forms a recess at 88 for a purpose that will be hereinafter set forth. The recess of the neck piece 86 further comprises an annular internal groove 90 around the top portion thereof for receiving a valve support plate 92 thereon. The valve support plate 92 is provided with an upwardly extending boss 94 having an aperture 96 therein.
A valve unit 98 is disposed within the boss 94 having a stem member 100 which extends through the aperture 96 for dispensing a fluid product (not shown) contained within the elastomeric unit 80. An extension 102 of elastomeric material is molded directly to the top of the neck piece 86 whereby the valve support plate 92 is firmly held in place as shown in FIG. 5.
An external annular groove 104 is provided around the outer periphery of the upper end of the neck piece, the top of the extension 102 being provided with an enlarged flange portion 106.
The unit 78 may be installed in a housing having a top portion 108 and a central aperture 110 therein. The edge of the container forming the aperture 110 is turned down slightly at 112 to form a lip for a purpose that will be hereinafter set forth.
To install the self-contained pressure unit 78 in the housing, the unit is inserted in the housing until the downwardly turned lip portion 112 of the housing or container top 108 rests within the external annular groove 104 as shown in FIG. 5.
A liner material 114 is provided along the internal walls of the tubular unit 80 and neck piece 86. The liner 114 is provided by coating the said internal surface of the tubular unit with an elastic material which serves as a chemical barrier between the product contained within the container and the elastomeric material making up the tubular unit 80 and neck piece 86.
Construction of the elastomeric unit may be accomplished by molding the tubular unit 80 and neck piece portion 86 with a removable mandrel 116 being centrally disposed within a mold cavity 118. Once the lower unit is molded as shown in FIG. 6, the mandrel 116 is withdrawn and the interior surface of the unit is coated with the liner material 114, if needed.
The valve support plate 92 and associated valve 98 are then inserted into contact with the top of the neck piece 86 and the molding process is continued to add the extension 102 and flange 106 thereon.
The entire self-contained unit is then withdrawn from the mold cavity 118 and cured by a suitable curing process.
From the foregoing it is apparent that the present invention provides a self-contained, gasless fluid dispensing mechanism which is usable with existing valve systems and a variety of containers, or on the other hand, it is usable without the need for a container at all. For example, the container shown in the drawings attached hereto indicates a bottom portion as typically found in containers on the market which utilize a gas propellant. In the present invention there would be no need for a bottom in the container since it is not required to withstand any pressure exerted by the expandable elastomeric unit.
Whereas the present invention has been described in particular relation to the drawings attached hereto, other and further modifications apart from those shown or suggested herein may be made within the spirit and scope of the invention.

Katy Perry Frolics in Europe in Furry Coat + Print Dress [PHOTOS]
Katy Perry has been over in Europe this week, closing out the iTunes Wireless Festival and hitting up fashion shows.
Katy Perry has been over in Europe this week, closing out the iTunes Wireless Festival and hitting up fashion shows.
Katy Perry performed the brand new 'Prism' track 'By the Grace of God' as she closed out the iTunes Wireless Festival (Sept. 30). It was quite an emotionally rich rendition and it's clear that the song means a lot to the singer.
Katy Perry shines bright on her latest Billboard cover in advance of the release of 'Prism.' But she had to wade through the darkness --a divorce, shade from Barbara Walters and suicidal thoughts-- to get here.
Katy Perry rocked milk-maid like braids and a red and black tartan (basically, plaid) ensemble, complete with over-the-knee socks and ghetto fab gold hoops at the Berlin launch of her Killer Queen fragrance (Sept. 25).
Katy Perry is the latest pop star to be immortalized in wax. Her wax figure -- and trust us, it's some figure, as in it's as voluptuous as the real thing -- at Madam Tussauds in NYC has been unveiled.
The students and staff at Lakewood High School in Lakewood, Colorado have created an amazing one-shot take of a lip dub featuring the music of Katy Perry's Roar and the 2000+ students at the school...
Katy Perry doesn't want to make out with Drake. She wants to make out to Drake. His music, that is!
Katy Perry was punchy, if a bit pitchy, at the 2013 iHeartRadio Music Festival -- and you can watch the whole thing here.
Here's one Top 10 that Avril Lavigne, Katy Perry and Britney Spears probably wish they didn't make: The Most Dangerous Celebrities list -- most dangerous for your computer, that is!
Katy Perry shared another preview of 'Prism,' this time in the form of a 30-second snippet of 'Walking on Air,' an uptempo, EDM-lite track. From the audio sample we enjoyed, it appears that Perry is flexing her creative muscles.
Katy Perry is the latest music artist to run afoul of PETA.

What happens when kids see their parents having sex?
If the kid is Shia LaBeouf, he grows up to tell Parade magazine all about it (via the Daily News):
"My humor came from seeing my parents have sex, smoke weed, my mom being naked — just weird hippie stuff, twisted R-rated humor."
I never saw my parents having sex. But one time I heard them. Once I realized what it was — I was maybe about 10 — I was completely, totally grossed out. I wrapped a pillow around my head and resorted to humming to drown out the noise. I woke up curled in a fetal position.
As a parent, I'd likewise be horrified if my kids confronted immediate evidence of us having sex. But maybe I'm just an uptight Catholic. I have two girls, and I don't even like to walk around the house naked.
My generation is not all prudish. Emily Mendell, who's 39 and has two sons, wrote in her highly read Babble article "Nude Awakening" about being undressed around her pre-teen boys.
There are certain inalienable rights associated with the family. For me, nudity is one of them.
I don't know. WikiAnswers says it's all no big deal:
Sex is a natural human function and making a big deal over the situation when a child enters the room could forever effect how that child views sex for the rest of its life. You are not doing anything wrong and if the child is used to just walking in, then neither is he/she.
But, I mean, look at LaBeouf. He's a mess. According to the Parade article, he's an alcoholic with a DUI, a commitment-phobe, and a major studio star so insecure he stops his bike in busy streets to see how many people recognize him. Also, he's a terrible actor.
Does seeing your parents having sex have lasting effects? You decide.

Last Modified: Tuesday, July 20, 1993 at 12:00 a.m.
Spartanburg County authorities arrested seven people Saturday, including five men from New York, and charged them with trafficking cocaine. Metro Narcotics Squad members made the arrests at an apartment at the East Colony Park complex on Colony Drive Saturday morning after searching the place and finding cocaine and handguns, according to a report from the Sheriff's Office. The officers seized three guns, $3,856 in cash and 16 grams of crack cocaine, according the report. Charged with trafficking more than 10 grams of cocaine were New York City residents Odell Patterson, 21; Sean Brown, 25; Richard Swygert, 18; David Blakney, 22; and Norman Jones, 18. Orangeburg residents Latasha Glover, 19, and Chuck Jamison, 18, also were charged with trafficking more than 10 grams of cocaine. COKESE.L

Sometimes you begin with one thing and wind up with so much more. Last week I shared about the Good Samaritan and how it illustrated three ways of life. In my study of Luke 10, Warren Weirsbe in his Bible Commentary opened my eyes to far more in the chapter. Let me urge you to stop reading this and read chapter 10 of Luke now.
Recently, I listened to a sermon that focused on how to deal with mean people. In it, the one preaching made a passing statement that "What Would Jesus Do?" has been a culturally successful slogan with very little biblical backing. The reality is that you and I cannot do what Jesus does, but rather can only do what Jesus would desire for us to do. Let's look at the story of Jesus and Peter walking on the water and see what the proper question is.

National Day of Prayer
As for me and my house we are planning a trip to our state capitol May 4 for a noon-time prayer service of Kentuckians led by Franklin Graham for spiritual renewal in our nation. Mr. Graham is holding prayer services in each of our 50 state capitals. It would be wonderful to have thousands at the gathering on May 4. This will be the day before the National Day of Prayer services held locally and through out the United States.
"Bless your heart." "God bless you." "May the Lord bless you." "I am blessed."
Have you ever thought about the word "bless"? It really isn't a common, everyday sort of word. It is a churchy/Bible word. Even though we may use it a lot, primarily among allergy-afflicted sneezers, I am not sure we could easily define the word we are using.

Old Mount Sherman Cemetery accepting donations
Recently, I was reading the story Jesus told in Luke 10 about the Good Samaritan. Back in the 1950s, Dr. C. Roy Angell, who pastored Central Baptist Church in Miami was the inspirational speaker one summer at Ridgecrest Baptist Assembly in North Carolina. I purchased one of his books that had a chapter dealing with this scripture. Dr. Angell was a master storyteller. He said the story of the Good Samaritan illustrated three philosophies or ways of life.
DNA testing has been used in our country to determine guilt or innocence in criminal cases, recognize the father of a child, discover family origins, and diagnose certain disorders or diseases just to name a few areas of use. Likewise, when we take a moment to test our spiritual DNA, we are able to truly examine our relationship with Christ.

In any building, the foundation is of utmost importance, because destructive things will begin to happen, causing worry, expense, and possibly even collapse.
Our spiritual lives are no different. The foundational beliefs we build upon are crucial. Winds and storms will come, to be sure! Whether or not we will weather what life throws at us will depend upon what has gone into our spiritual foundation.

This paper provides an agonistic interpretation of Robert Brandom's social-pragmatic account of normativity. I argue that social practice, on this approach, should be seen not just as cooperative, but also as contestatory. This aspect, which has so far remained implicit, helps to illuminate Brandom's claim that normative statuses are 'instituted' by social practices: normative statuses are brought into play in mutual engagement, and are only in play from an engaged social perspective among others. Moreover, in contrast to a positivist or conventionalist understanding of Brandom's work, it shows that the possibility of a critical stance toward existing practices is not only compatible with, but already implicit in this form of pragmatism. This can be made explicit with the notion of farcical practices: practices that are treated merely as if they institute genuine commitments and entitlements. Interpreting a practice as farcical is taking a critical stance toward it, and this possibility is inherent in Brandom's theoretical framework. This opens the way for a fruitful appropriation of Brandom's pragmatism for social and political philosophy.

BIG Reviews: The X Factor - X-Men 2; Starring: Hugh Jackman, Patriick Stewart, Halle Berry, Ian McKellen, Famke Janssen, Anna Paquin, James Marsden, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, Alan Cumming, Brian Cox, Aaron Stanford, Shawn Ashmore, Bruce Davison, Kelly Hu, Kea Wong, Cotter Smith
THIS is more like it! As thrilling as the first X-Men movie was, it fell considerably short of expectations, barely delving beneath the surface of the mythology surrounding the Marvel Comics superheroes.
X-Men 2 surpasses the original in graceful leaps and bounds, delivering a blitzkrieg of explosions, computer generated special effects and bone- crunching stunts.
Director Bryan Singer affords himself a great deal more time (a generous 133 minutes) to flesh out characters from the first adventure and introduce a host of new mutants, without skimping on substance or style. He delivers a lean, muscular and exhilarating thrill ride with surprising emotional depth that should have audiences salivating for further films in the series.
X-Men 2 opens where the original ended, with dastardly villain Magneto (McKellen) incarcerated in his plastic prison and Professor Xavier (Stewart) striving to combat human prejudice towards the mutants. All of the Professor's good work comes to nought when an assassin called Nightcrawler (Cumming), who possesses the ability to teleport himself instantaneously, successfully overcomes the White House defences and threatens the life of US President McKenna (Smith).
Shaken by the experience and fearful of further attacks on himself and his people, McKenna relents on his softly-softly approach and empowers renegade General William Stryker (Cox), a staunch advocate of the Mutant Registration Act, to neutralise the threat posed by Xavier and his cohorts.
Stryker orchestrates a devastating assault on X-Men mansion, taking several mutant children and Professor Xavier hostage, and his troops commandeer the Cerebros, a vast spherical chamber used to mentally connect with every mutant around the world. The deranged general's cunning scheme is to modify the equipment so he can destroy all mutants through telepathic thought. …

Opposition to same-sex marriage in Kentucky has hit its lowest level since 2004 when voters approved a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman.
Results from the latest Bluegrass Poll, released Tuesday, find that 50 percent of registered voters in Kentucky oppose same-sex marriage, while 37 percent favor it and 12 percent remain unsure, reports the Louisville Courier-Journal.
The result is a a drop from the 55 percent opposition recorded in a February poll, and a sharp decline from the 72 percent that voted in favor of the ban in 2004.
"We've hit a bit of a threshold, and I think the tipping point is soon to follow," said Chris Hartman, director of the Fairness Campaign. "The opposition has been teetering on the edge of having a majority for a long time, and that ground is rapidly slipping out from under them."
And while opposition to same-sex marriage decreased five percentage points since February, the shift appeared to equally move into the support and not sure categories — both increased by two percentage points compared to February.
Article continues belowThe poll found support for marriage equality highest among women, those between 18 and 34 years old, and respondents who live in the Louisville, Lexington, and northern Kentucky areas.
Opposition was greater among those 50 and over, Republicans, and eastern Kentucky residents.
A federal judge overturned Kentucky's ban on same-sex marriage on June 30. The state is appealing to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. The court will hear arguments in both cases, along with gay marriage cases in Ohio, Michigan, and Tennessee, on Aug. 6 in a single session.

Oh My.
Apparently Northwestern doesn't have an engineering program
They don't.
And they make you pay through the nose for tuition too.
I didn't see it on the broadcast, but weren't they supposed to suspend the large TV from the Cowboys' stadium over Wrigley Field by helicopter during the game?
Would it really have felt out of place?
If you've ever seen Soldier Field, with its alien toilet bowl design, that giant TV from Cowboys Stadium over Wrigley Field would not be as out of place as you might think.
Well, not anymore….

I think that the Zuck should focus his time and energies in running this company, and stay away from the political arena .
That goes as well to Ms. Sandberg.
Sandberg should also not concern herself about glass ceilings for females, or promoting her book and devote her time and efforts on growing this company.

During the hot summer months of July you would expect the sun to play a role in world news, but it got more than its normal share of exposure this week with two major events making the headlines this week of July 12, 2010.
First, the sun dazzled sky watchers in the South Pacific with a spectacular solar eclipse – just in time for the World Cup finals. The eclipse followed a 6.900-mile path over the South Pacific, from Tahiti to the southern end of Chile and Argentina. The longest time of eclipse—five minutes and 20 seconds—was over the sea.
Second, a solar-powered aircraft named Solar Impulse successfully completed a 26-hour test flight in Switzerland, setting the stage for a round-the-world flight attempt. The duration of the flight was significant. The 12,000 solar cells covering the aircraft's 200-foot wingspan needed to gather and store enough extra electricity during the day to keep its four electric engines running through the night.
Pilot Andre Borschberg flew Solar Impulse to a height of nearly 28,000 feet, then slowly descended to an altitude of 4,500 feet during the evening. An hour before dawn, the plane still had six hours of flying time left in its solar-fueled batteries.
In this week's current events activity you will learn about the world's only true superstar: the sun.
There are many fantastic online sites where you can learn about the sun, but one of the best is the Stanford Solar Center. Unless you see a Solar News event on the home page that interests you, start by going right to the Activities for Students. Follow the link to the Comparison Activities. These illustrated, interactive quizzes will help you understand the size of the sun, the heat of the sun, and the distance to the sun compared to things you may be more familiar with. Choose each of the comparison activities listed on the page, and then click the arrows to move forward or back through the activity. Make your best guess when given a choice, and keep guessing until you get the right answer .
Next, watch the video Colors of the Sun. Choose either Quicktime or Flash video and watch the movie about the different methods scientists have of viewing the sun. After watching the video, name three things solar physicists still don't know about the sun.
Try other student activities on this site that interest you.
What is it like to experience a total eclipse? Find out by visiting Exploratorium's Solar Eclipse site. Read the first page, which discusses sun spots and describes the first contact phase of an eclipse when the moon starts to obscure the sun. Click Next at the bottom of the page to continue reading about the second contact phase, including the ability to see the solar corona. What are solar prominences? Why does the entire horizon look like sunset during a total eclipse?
You know that radiant energy from the sun has been fueling the earth for many millions of years. Today we are discovering ways to harness that energy in exciting new applicaitons, such as the experimental solar powered aircraft that flew in Switzerland. To learn more about the energy producing potential of the sun, visit the Energy Kids Renewable Solar page. This resource from the U.S. Department of Energy talks about the ways solar energy can be converted into ultra-clean heat and electricity. Read the whole page, but focus specifically on the Solar Photovoltaic section. Read about the design of solar cells and how the displacement of electrons in the cells (by photons from sunlight) is converted into an electrical current. How much electricity can once cell produce? How long have photovoltaic cells been in use? What are several practical applications of solar cells? How does the weather affect solar cells?
The sun plays an important role in our everyday lives, even if we are not always aware of it. But how does the sun impact news reporting where you live? Investigate the sun's direct and indirect involvement in local news by studying a current issue of the e-edition. Find news stories in which the sun is specifically mentioned. Also, look for stories where you know the sun was a factor. For example, severe weather or drought is caused by the sun, and certain health dangers like dehydration or heat exhaustion can be caused by overexposure to the sun. On the other hand, the sun provides light and warmth for numerous summertime community events.
Make a collection of your sun news stories and compile them into a small sun journal. Add observations and comments of your own about the importance of the sun in our lives.

If you think that tattoo hurt going on, try removing it
Published: Wednesday, August 10, 2011 at 10:47 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 10, 2011 at 10:47 a.m.
Few people forget their first love, but most don't want to be reminded of their ex on a daily basis.
Johnny Depp's solution, to turn his Winona tattoo into Wino, is one way to deal with people who literally get under your skin. Tattoo artists say they are often asked to rework old tattoos to obscure names, but if you're really intent on a clean slate, other options exist. Be warned, however, few are cheap, most are painful, and none guarantee complete success.
The easiest, most affordable but probably least effective tattoo removal process comes in a tube. All tattoos fade to some degree over time if exposed to sunlight. Topical creams aim to speed and maximize fading by bringing the tattooed layer of skin closer to the surface and prevent the pigment from spreading to new layers of skin.
After extensive product testing, the Tattoo Removal Association ranked Tat-Med, Profade, Wrecking Balm, Tat B Gone and Tattoo Fading (in that order) as the most effective and safest products on the market in 2010. The association, however, warns consumers about creams containing harmful chemicals, such as Hydroquinone (a carcinogen that has been banned in a number of countries including Japan, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany) and Trichloroacetic Acid, which literally burns off layers of skin.
Professional removal options include dermabrasion (sanding the skin off); salabrasion (using a salt block to rub the skin off); excision (cutting the tattoo out and stitching the skin back together); and skin grafts. Because these techniques can result in scarring, however, the most popular and effective professional procedure is laser tattoo removal.
At the Center for Facial Plastic Surgery and Laser Skin Care in Albany, N.Y., cosmetic surgeon Dr. Arthur N. Falk uses high-energy, rapid-pulsed Q-switched lasers to break up the pigment in tattoo ink. Black, blue, and red are the easiest to disperse while yellow and green have staying power that makes them difficult to eliminate.
In 2007, New York-based company Freedom2 produced a new tattoo ink made of smaller molecules encased in polymers that could be dissolved and dispersed completely after just one laser treatment. The product, called Infinitink, has yet to be widely embraced by tattoo artists, however, who prefer to think of their art as permanent.
If you thought getting the tattoo was painful, brace yourself. Even with a topical anesthetic, laser tattoo removal is more painful, and the process typically requires six to eight treatments — if not more — over the course of at least as many months to give skin time to heal between each procedure. The price of removal is based on the size of the tattoo, but it's not cheap. A tattoo that cost less than $100 could cost thousands to remove.
That, says Lori Kicinski, coordinator for the Center for Facial Plastic Surgery and Laser Skin Care in Albany, can be cost prohibitive for many of the under-30 set who come in seeking the procedure, which is why she advises people to take a long view before they decide on a tattoo.
"People need to consider themselves 15 to 20 years down the road in terms of what their lifestyle may be and when they're choosing locations, how obvious the location might be," Kicinski says. "I don't think people know how difficult it is to remove them. When they say permanent tattooing, they're not joking."

Wednesday night's brilliant performance of Dvorák's Quintet for Strings in E-flat Major at the Seattle Chamber Music Society's Summer Festival brought the audience to its feet. The series continues through Aug. 1 at Lakeside School and Aug. 6-15 at Overlake School.
When a musical performance shoots you into the stratosphere, it's easy to develop a crush on the musicians responsible.
This is exactly what happened with the Dvorák on Wednesday night at the Seattle Chamber Music Society's Summer Festival. The audience leapt to its feet with a roar after violinists Stefan Jackiw and Stephen Rose, violists Richard O'Neill and Lily Francis and cellist Robert deMaine concluded the Quintet for Strings in E-flat Major. As the musicians stood on stage basking in the bravos, their flushed violin/viola hickeys could have been mistaken for love bites inflicted by an impassioned audience.
The vehicle responsible for the multiple curtain calls — Dvorák's salty, earthy, twangy Quintet — is not the sort of piece one would expect to provoke this kind of response. Sure, its playful rhythms and easy-on-the-ear melodies are fun, but a bit gimmicky. The variegated textures that the musicians coaxed out of the piece — from shimmering metal in the higher registers to growling wolf notes in the lower — were a revelation of complexity and control. Violist O'Neill was especially persuasive in the second movement, and the butterfly skirmishes between violinist Jackiw and cellist deMaine in the achingly beautiful Larghetto brought smiles to the performers' faces.
I had to restrain myself from clapping immediately afterward. Sometimes, a live performance is exactly what's needed to animate a piece that never seems to wake up on recordings. (It helps, also, to be watching the very watchable Jackiw and Francis.)

The Dvorák completely eclipsed the Schubert and Brahms that opened the concert. In his Allegro for Piano, Four Hands in A minor, Schubert wasn't his usual lovely, singing self. The piece contains a lot of notes that snag at the ear in a worrisome sort of way and might make the listener think, "Was that right? Or was it a mistake?" Pianists Jeremy Denk and Alon Goldstein brought all the necessary technical thunder to the piece's disquieting episodes of sturm und drang while opening up glittering patches of light in the quieter interludes. They were as precisely timed as two trapeze artists — an impressive display, but I couldn't love it.
Nor could I fall for Brahms' Trio for Clarinet, Cello and Piano in A minor, which, while pleasantly moody, doesn't make a memorable statement. It's just too easy to get distracted by the very different sonorities of the clarinet, cello and piano. The clarinet sounds like a well-defined marker line. The cello has a slightly frayed brush stroke. The piano, in this piece, produced vast washes of background color. Even while the cello carried the main melody, the clearness of the supporting clarinet threatened to overwhelm — through no fault of clarinetist Alexander Fiterstein, who was very good. Brahms just wasn't at the top of his game in the Trio, so there really wasn't much for the audience to hold close to its heart.

Sound Science: World-Class Army Facility Amplifies Auditory Research
Downing-Li, Jennifer, Soldiers Magazine
A twig cracking, whispers, a car backfiring, shots in the distance: the importance of a Soldier's ability to hear a wide range of sounds is critical to survival and mission success on the battleField.
In today's military environment, the harshness of various sounds produced by both military and nonmilitary activities can make it difficult for Soldiers to separate useful signals from background noise. A Soldier's ability to hear can be corrupted by physical barriers such as ballistics helmets, mission-oriented protective headgear, communications headsets and hearing protection devices.
Mission accomplishment is paramount, so to determine both the limits of human hearing and the effects of Soldier equipment on battlefield sound perception, the U.S. Army Research Laboratory created the Environment for Auditory Research at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md. ARL fellow Tom Letowski, and Bruce Amrein, chief of the Visual and Auditory Processes Branch, developed the concept and blueprint of the EAR.
At the facility, ARL researchers conduct basic and applied auditory and speech perception research to help Soldiers improve situational awareness and increase survivability. Research areas include: the perception of acoustic signatures produced by military-relevant sound sources, speech communication in adverse environments, effects of mental and physical workload on hearing, effects of various types of headgear on detection, and identification and localization of specific acoustic signatures.
To support this research, the EAR facility is capable of replicating sounds from a wide range of indoor and outdoor, urban and rural environments.
"The use of controlled space is imperative in order to integrate certain conditions," explained Amrein. "For example, sound sources, reflective surfaces and head-mounted equipment must all be emulated in the controlled setting. The capability to mix in relevant military sounds and have an actual body present to give feedback quantifies the effects and impacts of auditory research."
According to the experts at the facility, the combination of the research spaces and capabilities is unmatched at any military, academic or industrial facility worldwide. The facility currently comprises four indoor areas: the Sphere Room, Distance Hall, Dome Room and Listening Laboratory, as well as one outdoor space, OpenEAR. All spaces are controllable from one room, and the facility can accommodate up to three independent experiments simultaneously.
The Sphere Room was created as an auditory virtual reality space for research in spatial perception, and to evaluate various 3-D system implementations. The room contains 57 loudspeakers in a spherical arrangement and an instrumented listener's station to collect a variety of responses.
"The current version of the listener's station allows us to collect a wide range of overt human responses including speech, direction pointing and screen touching, while future plans include collection of physiological responses," Amrein noted. …

Am I supposed to be able to add a poll?
Anyway--I don't want to wait for cyclones.com--let's see what CF thinks about the new helmet designs.
Personally, I like the idea of Cyclones--as the only team with that brand. But I really can't stand the ******. Seems too wimpy to me--plus anything stylized like that is likely to go out of fashion quickly. (I think this design will look outdated in 5-10 years)
I don't like I state because -- well -- we'd be starting over with something completely new for a brand--unestablished. Also, I never call us "I State". I always say "ISU" or "IOWA STATE". Can't help but feel like we might start getting called "I STATE", and then which "I" state is it?
Of the three, I go with the big block ISU. Classic, bold, easy to read from afar. I wouldn't say it's my perfect design ever--but certainly the best of the three for me. Sure you can still ask "which ISU", but at least we've been, and we've known ourselves as, ISU for a long time. I suppose you could argue that nobody ELSE is known as I STATE so that could be a good move away from ISU.
Still want to add some type of cyclone (tornado) graphic. Something classic that will still look cool 25 years from now.
Until you find something worth dying for, you're not really living.
The CF Poll is HERE.

I bought in at 12.52 and feel good at the moment call me a knewbe but don't investors need to be in by April 11th to get the dividend don't you expect the price to rise as that date gets closer ? Were we not a little over sold with that date being so close just saying i think so
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Of late, SORO has risen the day before record date, then falls post date. Two points to consider. 1) Current metal prices are substantially lower than the average price SORO secured in Q4. Using equivalent production amounts seen in Q4, gross revenue would be 20% lower ($4.5 mill) using today's PM prices. 2) Because revenue will be substantially lower/ounce going forward, the probability that SORO will cut the dividend this month has increased substantially. Though this announcement most likely won't get issued until well past record date, I personally wouldn't chase a 6 cent paycheck knowing the issues near at hand.
FYI...management has dropped several hints that the dividend is on the table. The latest hint was management proclaiming a 39% payout based on gross mine profits was too high and SORO wants to achieve a long term payout around 33%. Since this statement, PM prices have dropped and compared to Q4 average silver price of $36, silver is down 25%.
FYI #2...SORO pays out $4.5 million every quarter in dividends. At current prices assuming equal production of Q4, SORO revenue will drop $4.5 mill.
Something has to give.
Investor stdennis, you often reported that you buy on every dip and, at the same time, you often reported that you bought all your shares at $4. Apparently, one of your personalities must be wrong,
Hey warmcamp,
I advised to buy on the dips is true but I have all I want so I don't buy myself.
Sold most of my shares at $25 to $27 and bought oil stocks that pay 5 to 8% dividends.
Currently I am building large postions in the state of Nevada.
GLTA except the shorts.
how is your Allied Nevada doing? Down 50% in a few weeks.
