I need to give my boss backup copies of some sensitive data. I want to encrypt the data, but she needs to be able to decrypt it on her own, without technical support (as long as she has the password, of course). Additionally, the decryption might need to be done on either a Mac or a Windows computer, and she may not have the ability to install new software on it. Running a self-contained program off a USB key would be okay.
Here's what I've already considered:
Use an encrypted ZIP file - Works fine on Windows, but on the Mac double-clicking an encrypted zip file gives an obscure, misleading error message. You have to open it using the terminal, which might not even have zip installed.
Use TrueCrypt - It would be fine if you could run TrueCrypt off of a USB key, but it looks like both the Mac and Windows versions require you to run an installer.
Put the plaintext file on a web server with .htpasswd authentication - This may be what I fall back on if no one has a better idea, even though it's a joke in terms of actual security.
Additionally, this post has a similar question. The two main suggestions are AxCrypt (doesn't work for me because it's Windows-only) and using a dedicated SCP account (which I don't have the ability to create).
Can anyone suggest a cross-platform, portable encryption method that would work for this scenario?

hip dysplasia
The hip joint is a ball and socket joint. Normally, a ball atop the thighbone sits squarely and firmly in a socket at the hip. Hip dysplasia occurs when this connection is loose or does not exist. Untreated this condition can create severe problems. So, early detection and treatment are strongly recommended. Hip dysplasia runs in families and tends to affect girls and first-born infants more often than other children. Treatment depends on the patient's age and the condition's nature. Often, for babies six months and under, doctors try to correct the situation, using a harness. This keeps ball and socket in the right position and encourages normal alignment. Children above six months of age may require surgery and the subsequent use of a body cast. As with the harness on younger children, surgery's goal is correct ball-socket placement.

Simon Barnes says that learning how to listen to birdsong can open up your world
If you want to learn the instruments of the orchestra, it's probably best not to start with The Rite of Spring. It's great, but Stravinsky's mind-blowing orchestration will perplex rather than inform the beginner. Best begin by listening to soloists.
That's why autumn is the best place to start learning birdsong. The cacophony of the wild world's annual rites of spring is too vast, too noisy, too various: like Stravinsky, it will only make your head spin. So I have started this book with the soloists: the birds that sing out in the autumn and on the fine days of winter.
In spring there are a thousand voices. In autumn, you are likely to hear only one. That is to say, just one complex and melodious bird-sound, one species that has what everybody will recognise as a song. If you listen out in a garden, a park or a patch of woodland in the autumn, I can virtually guarantee that the only song you will hear is the robin.
Once you have picked him out, you are on your way. Once you are tuned in, you will open your ears – and your heart and mind – to the wild world. It is not just a neat and clever trick of identification, rather, it is the royal road to pleasure and solace.
A knowledge of birdsong changes your understanding of the world. What matters is not that you can now tell a robin from a wren, but that you have established a connection with nature. Birdsong is no longer piped music and background blur: you are aware of real individuals making their living all around you. Once you have learned the basics of birdsong, you not only have music wherever you go – you also have the wild world.
Whistles from a garden croft
Here are the sounds to listen out for:
The soft, sweet sound of the robin is the one song you will reliably hear during the autumn. Some find it melancholy and claim that it gets sadder as winter arrives. For the robin, it is the song of life, survival and hope.
On days of unseasnal warmth you may sometimes hear a loud, almost violent, eruption of song from thickets. If this ends with a sustained trill, you have found a wren. It's amazing that so small a bird can make such a racket.
Dunnocks also burst into song on warm days. They chuck out a merry flat burble of notes, jumbled together by any old how. They are unspectacular birds with an unspectacular song; it is only in their sex lives that they are truly remarkable.
Birdwatching with You Eyes Closed by Simon Barnes is out on 3 November, published by Short Books.

The Binghamton Senators didn't make it easy on themselves in Saturday's season opener at the Broome County Arena, against the Eastern Conference champion Syracuse Crunch.
Binghamton battled back from a 3-1 third period deficit, capped off by rookie Cody Ceci's overtime tally with 2:47 left in overtime.
"I was skating down the wall and the guy kind of slid in desperation, I just waited him out and had the whole far side (of the net), Ceci said of the game winner. "It was a pretty great feeling to score a goal like that, coming into a new team and a new town. I'm happy to be here and it's nice to start off like that."
Things did not start well for the home squad, as Captain Mark Borowiecki and winger Mark Stone both sustained injuries in the first period. Borowiecki was hit up high against the boards by Philippe Paradis, with 9:43 left in the period.
"He saw the guy coming and just couldn't get himself set square," said B-Sens head coach Luke Richardson. "Boro just took a bit if a helmet to the head and whipped his neck back, but he seems to be okay. He passed all the concussion protocol testing and I think it's just more of a sore neck, so we kept him out as a precaution."
Stone appeared to injure his shoulder and Richardson said he will be re-evaluated, including an X-ray.
David Dziurzynski dropped the gloves with Joey Mormina at the 8:40 mark, both guys landed decent shots in the exchange. The period ended with both teams evenly matched in shots, 11-11.
Syracuse got on the board first when Dana Tyrell beat Binghamton goaltender Nathan Lawson 1:24 into the period. He skated from behind the net, firing a shot in front and giving the visitors a 1-0 lead.
Binghamton answered with a man in the penalty box. Derek Grant stole the puck at center ice and skated in on Syracuse goaltender Cedrick Desjardins, beating him underneath the pad, to tie the game at 1-1, with 16:23 left.
Grant led the AHL with five shorthanded goals last season and picked up right where he left off Saturday night.
"I was able to get the puck and get on my horse there and put it through his legs," said Grant.
Things unraveled for the B-Sens soon after that, as the Crunch got a shorty of their own, as Tyrell skated in and squeezed one through on Lawson, who seemed to secure the puck, but somehow it trickled through his pads and found the back of the net, giving Syracuse a 2-1 lead, at the 15:41 mark.
The lead ballooned to 3-1 when the Crunch took advantage of a defensive breakdown in front and Evan Rankin beat Lawson with 1:02 left in the period.
The third period saw Binghamton turn the corner, as they got goals from Corey Cowick (assisted by Ceci) and Mika Zibanejad, who tied things up on the power-play, with a rifle from the top of the faceoff circle, on a nice feed from defenseman Chris Wideman, with 9:13 left in regulation.
It was Binghamton's only power-play goal on four chances, but it was a big one.
"I thought we really adjusted and played well in that third period," said Richardson. "We showed a lot of character and guts, we'll take the 4-3 win, especially when we only have one game and it's at home to start off the season. We wanted to give our fans something to cheer about and feel good about."
The cheers reached a fever pitch when Ceci ended the game with that overtime tally. He looked to have Desjardins at his mercy when he skated in and just came to a sudden stop, before letting the shot go that ended the game and gave Binghamton two points in the standings.
"We showed a lot of character at the end and had young guys stepping up, said Grant. "We found a way to win."
"It's nice to get a win no matter what," said Cowick. "When you come from behind like that, especially losing two key parts of your team, to persevere and come back and get those two points, definitely bodes well for the future."
Gamesheet: Syracuse Crunch @ Binghamton Senators
Binghamton (1-0) will not play again until next Friday, when they travel to Norfolk for the first of back-to-back games. The puck drops at 7:30 p.m. Friday and 7:15 p.m. Saturday.
Game notes: Ceci took home first star honors, with Zibanejad earning third star for Binghamton. The two goals by Tyrell were good enough for second star, but he did not skate out when his name was announced and will likely draw a fine from the league.

I have installed Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 on a VM in VMWare Workstation. I RDP to this VM/sever via Vista (my host OS) but the performance of the server is a little choppy. It is usable but could be better.
My specs: 4GB RAM, Quad Core Pentium 2.4ghz
VM settings: 2880mb ram dedicated (max recommended is 2992mb),
I have noticed that the disk queue length is peaking quite a bit.hard disk is preallocate.
I have set hardware acceleration to full in Windows Server and turned off the firewall (These two things really improved performance but I will need the firewall).
The VM only has SQL Server Installation Center on it (due to a failed install, another story). How can I improve the performance of Windows (I know how to improve the VM's performance which is another story)?
Especially when I run an installer, the whole OS locks up. My host OS does not do this.

Being just overweight, not obese, still shortens lifespan
It is becoming more widely known that obesity can lead to a premature death – but what about those who fall in between healthy weight and obese? A 2010 study suggested that even "a few extra pounds" can be dangerous.
This study was published just a few months after another large study that concluded that waist circumference was associated with risk of death from all causes. These two studies used different methods of measurement, but they agree on a very important point – even a small amount of excess weight increases the risk of death. In the waist circumference study, even people who had a normal body mass index (BMI; calculated based on height and weight) were at greater risk of death if they had a 4-inch larger waist compared to others in their BMI category – that four extra inches of abdominal fat translated into a 16% (men) and 25% (women) increase in mortality risk over a nine year period.
Last week, another article was published in the New England Journal of Medicine in which the researchers analyzed risk of death from all causes according to BMI. The data they analyzed came from 19 different studies and included 1.46 million people across the U.S., Europe and Australia. The results were dramatic. The risk of death from all causes was elevated just above the 'normal' BMI category and continued to climb as BMI increased. Those who were overweight but not obese were still at risk.
Compared to individuals with BMI of 20-24.9, the increased risk of death was
- 13% for those with BMI 25.0-29.9
- 44% for those with BMI 30.0-34.9
- 88% for those with BMI 35.0-39.9
- 251% for those with BMI 40.0-49.9[1]
Of course, the risk is greater with more excess weight, but the key finding is that even with a moderate amount of excess weight, there is a significant increase in the risk of death.
Sixty-eight percent of Americans are overweight or obese, and about half of this group fall into the overweight but not obese category. These studies would therefore suggest that 68% of Americans are dying prematurely because of their excess weight. The prevalence of processed foods and junk food has gotten most Americans completely out of touch with hunger and satiety signals. Nutrient-dense eating, resulting in the recognition of true hunger, is an effective method for reaching and maintaining a healthy weight.

Flash Response, 8-2: Critics Cornered, 6
Keep Writing
A letter from Allyson Green,
San Diego
This is a delayed response, as I read your Flash Dialogue on the morning
of my opening night at the International Arts and Ideas Festival in New
Haven. While you are correct to write that I am a seasoned choreographer
"who will not be crushed" by a bad review, I was disturbed to read through
your exchange as it unfolded. A flat out negative review would have been simpler to digest....
Given several days distance I will try to fashion a response, as you both
bring up points to which I would like to respond.
I would like to offer some additional context for your readers that you
did not provide. I am 45, worked in New York from 1986 to 2001 and now reside in San Diego. I have made over 50 works, usually to scores composed by new music
composers such as Mio Morales, Guy Yarden, Alan Stones, and Paul Dresher....(T)he dance "Full Circle" had been originally commissioned by the La Jolla Music
Society for SummerFest in August 2005. (SummerFest is a noted classical
music festival with musicians like Yo-Yo Ma and Andre Watts, and which had
not included dance in their festival programming prior to this commission.)
The director of the festival wanted to support local contemporary dance by
presenting it to traditional classical music audience members. As an artist
I felt it was my responsibility and unique opportunity to engage that
audience in order to expand the often limited, insular world of downtown
dancers who are all too often only performing to each other. I was not
accustomed to working with live classical music, but I accepted the
commission to choreograph to this particular Beethoven piece (I did not
choose it), and I tried to establish my artistic voice around such a strong
canon. Once engaged, I found this to be an interesting challenge and came to
love the music, and certainly the opportunity to work with live musicians
was a thrill.
I created the work with 18 women mixed in age (24-65) and ethnicity
(Caucasian, African-American, Asian, Hispanic). I deliberately worked with a
more classical movement vocabulary in the adagio movement, given the range
of ages of the performers, diversity of styles, and the historical context
of the composer, this music and this festival. The gestures in the adagio
that Maura found cliché were based upon my personal experiences of grief
after the loss of a child, and photographs from women in war-torn countries.
I incorporated contact improvisation-based partnering, individual
improvisational movement choices, and sliding, falling interaction in the
more complicated allegro section....
In answer to "why we need press," on the same program that August, I
presented an improvisational dance (that would probably have been of more
interest to Maura), to a raucous Xenakis percussion score. I did this to
inject new music into the usual all-classical fare. The evening succeeded
in bringing a sold-out audience diverse in age, race, and cultural
experience, and it convinced the organization to present more dance in the
future -- which was my goal. The pre-press and... review asking for
more like this played a pivotal role not only in gaining an audience, (but in) influencing decisions for future events. (I am now creating a work
to a Tan Dun score for this year's festival, something more in keeping with
my usual aesthetic.) I am grateful that the critics who traditionally cover
classical music fare were not prejudiced to pass on writing a preview of
something that was not in their usual purview.
The success of the evening (and strong press) also resulted in the
commissioning of "Full Circle" for the A&I festival in New Haven, where it
was performed two weeks after my Danspace Project season.... I used the opportunity of this commission to show the dance in New York, and to bring together dear friends who had performed with me over the years -- a celebration of a
15-year professional history of making dance. The joy expressed in the
dance then was genuine, felt by all of the dancers, delighted to dance
together again.... I imagined it might not be received well by the usual downtown
crowd; however, many viewers actually responded that it was refreshing to
attend, and indicated that they have missed seeing full dancing given the
current trends. Personally, I am weary of a dark view, where I stewed in
many a dance.... The grief that I have experienced is real, as well as
the joy, and I no longer feel intimidated by what is hip to show both
aspects in my work....
I had five days in New Haven to create the same work on a cast of 12
dancers that included the Mexican Lopez sisters, four of the New York
dancers and six dancers from New Haven ranging in age from 14 to 60. The
point of the dance each time was to create a greater community (than the
usual 25-35 year-olds seen onstage) through the process of a residency.
While Maura finds the movement a satirical cliché, as a director I cannot
responsibly have a 60-year-old woman banging on the ground in a risky
downtown floor phrase, and so I arrived at a vocabulary which was more
universal, while still conveying my artistic voice.... I would not alter my decision that the process of involving over 70 women in four residencies was important and profound to me, and so I utilized movement not so idiosyncratic in nature (in the adagio only) as to create a successful ensemble.
I can report in response to Maura's comments that the New Haven festival
also presented a number of African-American musicians, actors, playwrights
and photographers who are refugees from New Orleans due to the effects of
hurricane Katrina. A community very different than my own that is
experiencing a profound loss. My residency project that maybe had nothing to
do with "the women" that Maura hangs out with elicited a torrent of
grateful responses. And I would have welcomed her, as well as her mother's
writing group in either the project or the audience. All of the women
involved in the four versions gave me responses that were unusually stronger
than most of the dances I have created....
Ultimately I would expect and hope for a reviewer to consider the aesthetic
context of a choreographer's vision..., whether or not that is their own, in order to evaluate it in those terms. I ask my students to consider *all* dances with an open mind -- to not watch Deborah Hay, interested in process and community ritual, with the same expectation as an Alvin Ailey work, exemplifying virtuosity, or a Balanchine
dance investigating deep musicality. Maura writes that the editor should
consider whom they send to review a show. Perhaps that might be helpful,
though I would desire... reviewers to be more open to crossing all
aesthetic disciplines. Hers is a personal observation; I find a mixed
perspective a better reflection of a national audience. Your readers are not
just downtown NYC dancers....
I would have been more interested to read a critique of my duet with Monica
Bill Barnes, "Abandon," which was set to a (non-classical) sound score by
Alan Stones, with video of light installations in the Sonoran desert by
Peter Terezakis. Maura... says nothing of the work "Nada Que
Declarar," created for Carolyn Hall and Lux Boreal, a young company from
Tijuana brought to the U.S. for the first time. 'Nada' reflects *my* world of
living at the border after years of traveling in Eastern Europe when a wall
came down, and now watching with dismay as a new wall goes up in my home
city. (So that was a point of view). I guess Maura was predisposed to be
frustrated as well by this dance because it was performed to a Bach cello
suite (again a musical choice not my own which was specifically commissioned
by the New Haven festival, to work with the excellent cellist Felix Fan).
She does not write anything to which I can respond....
I love full-bodied technical dancing, and so will make no apologies
for that, as it will always be the underpinning of my dances.... I envy my predecessors in the field like Trisha Brown, who had copious process time in inexpensive studios to develop a unique personal movement vocabulary. My generation in America has not had the financial support to develop in the same way. I am not sure I have the singular talent for inventing a new movement vocabulary, but I believe my dances display a viewpoint. My skill and interest lays more in the larger stage picture, site specific works, complex moving of groups, gathering of
community, seeking collaborative voices, and in intimate duet partnering....
Of most concern to me is that Maura concludes with "why do we need record of
approval? Or even better, why do we need record of understanding? Who is
being served by public commentary?"
Allyson Green the choreographer responded above. Allyson Green the dance
professor, who is trying to encourage students to become writers..., and Allyson Green the director who was presenting contemporary dance and keeping one of the few alternative theaters in Southern California open, reads with a sigh such a (comment) and responds below.
I am so thankful to have the opportunity to read old reviews by writers like
Edwin Denby, to give me a window into a dance world before my time, or to
read all current reviewers to keep abreast of my peers. (I greatly miss Burt
Supree.) I am thankful for this body of discussion to share with my
students, to encourage them to develop critical thinking. We need more
critical commentary for dance to be evaluated in relation to the times, as
well as to be considered relevant with other fields of art. What record will
there be of our field if reviewers like Maura are too impatient with dance
outside her experience or "taste" to review? Part of what we need in order
for dance to thrive in this country is to maintain a dynamic, responsible
dialogue of criticism. We need a public commentary for dance to continue to
expand, and we need this dialogue across the country for people who are *not*
just living in New York City, where the weekly conversation Maura finds
tiring continues. We need reviews, yes Maura, to get bookings, as yes,
presenters do read them to make decisions. Fact of life: Presenters cannot
attend everything or begin to have the hours to watch the hundreds of
videotapes that pour in.
And "who tours anymore?" Many still do; this concert of mine that Maura did
not review was "on tour" in New York and New Haven and I head next to Riga,
Latvia.... Press quotes are on every brochure, flyer, poster, and
program, and they do in fact build (or caution) an audience.
Furthermore, choreographers need reviews to get jobs in universities, (as they)
are read by hiring panels that often know nothing of dance and who do not
watch videotapes. Those of us who are lucky enough to have jobs at
universities (of which there are many as my generation leaves New York) *must*
be reviewed to advance to tenure, and then head up the ladder. It is the
equivalent of publishing. Your reviews are read by panelists at
universities, by members that usually have little knowledge of the dance
field, whatsoever. Without a review, my concert is not considered by the
university to have happened at all and I will not be promoted....
(Y)our words help to educate those panels, students, presenters, and audiences; I have no doubt that Edwin Denby's writing played a pivotal role in the development of an audience for choreographers like then-newcomers Balanchine or Martha Graham. We need reviews to get grants and support from foundations, to establish our professionalism. We need reviews to mark in some small way the painfully brief weekend of a performance that took months, and untold sweat, tears, and dollars, to
prepare. Can it be that Maura doesn't look for a review of her own
concerts? I doubt that....
Okay, I have now written many more words than you and Maura, and it is way
more than enough. My particular concert is not worth this time and
discussion to me, but the greater topic is. I am back in San Diego, and it
is time to wash out 30 costumes and pay the bills.
I will move on to my next dance, and I hope Maura will find more patience

Snacking between meals doesn't have to be laden with high calories and sugary treats. Instead of reaching for these unhealthy snacks, it's time to try something healthier.
Meet Quest Nutrition's high protein, low carb snack bars.
Made with simple ingredients without all of the fat and calories of most snack bars, the nutritious bars are the perfect snack in between meals.
We love the high protein peanut butter cups that contain 20 grams of protein and no sugar or trans fat. Each gluten-free treat contains the same taste you love in candy but without all of the negative ingredients.
The chocolate chip cookie dough bar is the perfect afternoon snack while the cinnamon roll and apple pie included in the sampler pack are ideal for breakfast. Other flavors in the sampler include chocolate brownie, strawberry cheesecake, coconut cashew and banana nut muffin.
In keeping with offering healthier alternatives to today's foods, Quest Nutrition also offers a line of pastas made of 100 percent soluble fiber for better digestion.

Parque José Martí : Michelin's recommendations
Buildings dating from the late 19C and early 20C surround this majestically proportioned square. At its centre, benches invite visitors to sit in the shade, and the glorieta (bandstand) sometimes hosts the municipal band. At the entrance to the square, behind two marble lions, a rose motif in the paving marks the boundary of Cienfuegos at its foundation in 1819. All the local streets converge on the square, with a statue of José Martí the national hero standing at its centre.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Kanai, Hideto
Kanai, Hideto, bassist; b. Tokyo, 1931. Along with guitarist Masayuki Takayanagi, was a leader of the sixties avant-garde in Japan. Like so many of his generation, his professional career began in American servicemen's clubs, but after meeting Duke Ellington he began a more formal study of music. Kanai and Takayanagi founded the Jazz Academy (later New Century Music Workshop) in 1960, performing experimental jam sessions in coffeeshops that incorporated their interest in contemporary classical music and the jazz of Sun Ra, Charles Mingus, and Ornette Coleman. He led the King's Roar orchestra in the sixties and seventies, touring the USSR and South America with jazz arrangements of Japanese childrens' songs. He currently leads the Yokohama Jazz Orchestra.

Singer-song writer Natalie Merchant will be performing in Boston at The Shubert Theater on Monday, July 6th, 2014. Throughout the night, entitled "An Evening with Natalie Merchant," the singer will be performing from her newly released album, the first with new material in thirteen years, Natalie Merchant.
Merchant attributes the delay to her desire to search for her voice, a process she says takes a considerable amount of time. The singer's last album, Leave Your Sleep, was her interpretation of poems. If she had to choose a theme for the album, Merchant would choose "transformation and truth, telling the truth."
"Now that I look back at the album and am starting to talk about it, I can see that it's divided into two different approaches," says Merchant. "One is an inward looking, personal interior voice and the other side is looking at the world, news of the day, events beyond our control. There's an interplay between the two because we can't separate ourselves from ourselves and we can't separate ourselves form the world, as much as we may like to."
Natalie Merchant is an American singer-songwriter and musician. She joined the alternative rock band 10,000 Maniacs in 1981 and left it to begin her solo career in 1993.

Might you be a fan? If so, post some of the most controvesial (spelling?) songs that you know you'd probably be laughed at for but really just don't give a fuck.
Dirty Pop- 'Nsync. It may have been released in 01, but it is a Boy Band of the 90's =P If you want me to more strenuously follow my own guildlines-
Most Vertical Horizon, Enrique Iglasias, Backstreet Boys and 98 Degrees.
Any guilty pleasures on your end?
Also- remember that this isn't the only music I listen to. If you feel like going 'Zomg u listen 2 boy bands fckin fag' I will in fact be forced to kick your throat in over the internet.

About Chalk Talk
As it's known to Local Sports Talk Radio, Sports Fans, and enthusiasts, "Chalk Talk" was founded by Tim Herb and Jeremy Conn, in September 2010. At the start of the 2010 NFL Season, "Chalk Talk" debuted on Baltimore's ESPN Radio 1300AM, airing "Live" every Sunday from 11am-1pm. Described as a Live Sports Talk Radio Show, Tim & Jeremy set out to change the paradigm of Sports Talk Radio by combining their knowledge & passion for Sports, while adding humor, wit, and downright sarcasm. Since the Show's inception, Tim and Jeremy opened the phone lines, allowing Fans of all kinds to offer their opinions and input on the wide world of Sports.
In the early Summer of 2011, Tim and Jeremy invited a local sports blogger and loyal listener of "Chalk Talk" to their Show for an audition. It was then that Josh Angulo-Bartlett, aka "Jabby Burns", earned a seat at the table and became a regular personality of "Chalk Talk". Together the Trio continues to combine their unique sports commentary to produce what many local Sports Fans describe as the best live Weekend Sports Talk Show. READ MOREFacebook Twitter

COLUMBUS — The state says it's having trouble finding Ohioans owed an estimated $3.6 million in tax refunds.
That's the total from about 12,000 refund checks that came back to the state in 2010 and 2011 because the taxpayer moved away or provided a faulty mailing address.
Ohio Tax Commissioner Joseph Testa said in a statement that given the tight economy, his department is working especially hard to get the money to the rightful recipients.
The refunds in limbo range from a few dollars to several thousand.
Testa said just a small percentage of taxpayers don't get their refunds because of address problems. He said people who think they may be missing a refund should contact the Ohio Department of Taxation.

CHRISTIAN COUNTY, Ky. (WBKO) -- Gov. Steve Beshear spoke Thursday afternoon at the welcome center in Christian County near the Kentucky, Tennessee line on Interstate 24.
Beshear's message was clear, roads in Kentucky safer for drivers.
Beshear said over the last five and a half years there have been 25 cross over collisions in Christian County.
He announced a 24 mile, $3.1 million project to build median cable barriers on I-24.
"These barriers are fairly expensive. Cost average is about $140,000 to $150,000 per mile, but they are an effective investment in saving lives, and one of the several ways we've been working to reduce highway fatalities since I became governor," said Gov. Beshear.
This cable barrier project is in two sections along I-24, the one in Christian County and the other near Paducah.

Afterwards students from each grade had a chance to dance-battle for the best "Nae Nae". Chilli and the group gave out prizes sponsored by V-103 Atlanta and rolling out Magazine. The singer also gifted ELMS an autographed poster as a reminder to continue doing their best in school, and serve as positive examples. The spring testing kick off ended with students hugging and thanking Chilli for the unforgettable morning. Chilli's Crew Day at ELMS was made possible thanks to Reebok, V-103 Atlanta and rolling out Magazine.

College Hockey:Clarkson Blows Out Mercyhurst
POTSDAM, N.Y. — Trevor Edwards recorded his first career hat trick and Jay Latulippe posted a career-best four-point game with two goals and two assists to lead Clarkson to its most productive offensive outing of the season in a 8-2 victory over Mercyhurst before 2,046 fans at Cheel Arena Saturday night.
Rob McFeeters also tallied twice as Clarkson doubled its previous highest goal total of the season. The Golden Knights, who defeated the Lakers 4-3 in overtime on Friday, own a three-game unbeaten streak (2-0-1) and stand at 8-7-4 overall. Mercyhurst, which has lost all five games its has played against Clarkson, falls to 7-9-1.
Mercyhurst got on the scoreboard first at 5:03 when Dave Borrelli converted off a faceoff won by Mike Carter deep in the Clarkson zone. After that it was all Clarkson as the Knights rattled off seven unanswered goals. Clarkson tallied three straight in the first for its first multiple-goal outing in the opening period this season.
McFeeters knocked in a loose puck in front at 10:48 to start Clarkson's surge. Latulippe followed 78 seconds later with a power-play marker. Latulippe set up the Knights' third goal, for his second assist of the game, when he dug the puck out along the right boards and set a pass back to McFeeters, who faked a shot in close and then lifted in his fourth goal of the season at 18:36 for the eventual game-winner.
The Knights continued to roll in the middle frame, adding four more goals. Edwards tallied twice in a 28-second span to give Clarkson a 5-1 lead at 9:18. Jamie McKinven netted his first collegiate goal, a 5-on-3 power-play marker, at 12:32, followed by Latulippe's second goal of the night and seventh over the past seven games at 16:55.
Mercyhurst put a temporary halt to the Clarkson onslaught with Conrad Martin's goal at 9:03 of the final stanza, but Edwards closed out the scoring with a breakaway goal at 15:10 for his fourth goal of the season to complete his three-goal outing.
Clarkson outshot Mercyhurst 33-25. Kyle McNulty, making his second collegiate start in the Knights' goal, posted 23 saves to record his first win at Clarkson.

Secrets of Success
Bringing out our worst/best
Thursday, January 03, 2013
I have finally come to the conclusion that the the reason certain people irritate me the most is because they are expressing qualities that I have overcome or am working on overcoming and haven't quite succeeded yet. This is why family members can be so vexing�we see ourselves in them, and vice versa. This isn�t always true, of course, but when it is, like it was earlier today and over something that wasn't even worth the effort of argument, it�s a real opportunity for growth if we can actually stop and take the time to acknowledge it, because it is infinitely and definitely easier to change ourselves than it is to try to change the other person, which is never a good idea. That is why for example, if we have a family member who continually engages in negative behavior, like complaining or trying to control everything, and it pushes our buttons we should take the time to look and see if we ourselves carry those traits.
We may have to look to other situations in our lives to see it, because we behave differently in different environments. Maybe we aren�t controlling outside the home, but we�re used to being in control at home, we feel so irritated not to be in control. Even if we look and find that we are not engaging in the same behavior that we see as negative in others, we can still learn from what we are seeing in this person. The truth is, human nature is universal, and we share many of the same tendencies. What we see in others can always help us to understand ourselves more deeply.
Having the ability to see something in another person, and automatically bring this observation back to ourselves, is like having a built-in system of checks and balances that enables us to be continually engaged in self-exploration and behavior change. When we see behavior we don�t like, we can make a concerted effort to weed it out of ourselves, and when we see behavior we do like, we can let it inspire us to engage in imitation. Through this process, we read our environment and let it influence us to bring out the best in ourselves.
Ode to joy, to live in a perfect world, right? Maybe not so perfect but far more tolerable and passive aggressive rather than aggressive

I personally found this gem of truth while on a seven day cruise. There were 3500 guests and 1100 workers. Among the guests, I had never seen so many large and very large people in one setting before and concluded that America is indeed very fat! I had oh so many judgments. Getting around the ship was laborious, dodging, slowing down, trying to find another way to get around these people. Toward the end of my cruise I realized that what I was thinking about them was really how I thought about my self. I too am large and have a disability to boot. When I turned those judgments toward me, I became aware that I've did not have the courage to acknowledge my Real feelings toward myself. I loathed my body. I transferred my loathsomeness to the others. Finally as I acknowledged this, I was able to face these "truths" and work through them. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and bits of wisdom.

Discussion (65) ¬
dot dot dot
what's the other function?
"At least, not entirely"
Haha, eye candy.
It must be a great book series! Adds a lot to the decoration, and btw, shirtless lion with a spear <3
Laughing out loud.
I have been in Peanuts position a few times.
Haha this is so great. The breakdown of Grape as she attempts to describe her fangirl happiness to Peanut is great.
As long as she doesn't go "twilight-fangirl" on us, I think it'll be alright. Funny comic though XD… The poster kinda reminds me of 300 though…
This cinches it – after looking at both your scraps on DA (can't believe I didn't see those till now…) and this newest comic, I think it's safe to say the new style's a success – Grape looks a lot more cat-like and childish in this strip than the first two with this style, even when irritated. The scale difference between them also helps set cats and dogs apart, doubly so if it remains constant from here on out (seeing as most dogs are larger than cats, it makes sense anyways). And the combined use of the eyelids and eyebrows for expression is perfect.
Only issue I have is Grapes smile in panel one – easily explained by the characters excitement, which is well conveyed, but it comes across just a tad disturbing as well – the eye color lends itself to that a bit tho, so no real way around it that I can see. Open-mouth smiles just seem to be a bit cuter with the characters than the full-tooth grin, but expecting you to make sure they're cute ALL the time is asking too much, lol – the 99% you already do is good enough.
Between the artwork and the gag, seems to me this story arcs going to be suitably entertaining and hilarious – looking forward to the next one. *Thumbs up*
Thought I should clarify – Grape and Peanut's styles are a what I was primarily commenting on. If the other characters turn out in similar manner, however, should not only clarify species, but also maintain enough of the old style to remain familiar, like Peanut and Grape have done.
The creepiness is easily explained by the fact that Grape is fangirling…
I love this strip! only one thing bothers me though… has grape's tail always been this… well groomed? *looks at the not so fluffy tail in panel 1*
Uh oh, looking at the story arc's name is giving me a bad feeling…
LOL, more then one function…
Oh no, the lion has Young Blood's disease!!!
And finally, Grape in the first panel is kinda creepy… o_0
Also, I love the new style, but I also love the old style too! :S Maybe in the future we could have "another dimension" arc where both styles get to view each other? :3
This one- LOL.
new style is growing on me, I'm beginning to like it
Eye candy = win
Has MY eyes watering.
… Drooling?
No. Ew.
My eyes want some. There.
This comic seals the deal. I am all about the new style.
Also, Twitard fangirl.
Fangirl Grape is amazingly entertaining.
Haha, fangirl Grape is cute, even with the toothy smile XP.
Well, at least it isn't a movie of her favorite book, might have ruined it for her XD.
Also… love the floofy tail. You always have a thing for hug-able tails don't you?
I was thinking about a movie during the last two panels!
I've already stated that this kind of cliché makes me giddy, yet it also incites a tremendous artistic RAGE deep within my heart. It's not even that I think they should leave good books as they are, either. No, many could, in fact, benefit from the art of the moving picture, and some do, but so many more have been RUINED BY IT! AARGH!
Uh, *ahem* I am glad it was not a movie too. As well. Also. And yes, good tail, that.
Hey no problem, I feel your pain!
Sometimes its not so much that they changed the story to fit into a movie, but that it could have been done SO MUCH BETTER. Sometimes its just turned to pure ridiculousness… That's why I admire those who try to stick as closely to the book as possible, it at least shows much more effort and faith into capturing the original work.
If that was the case with Grape's book, I would imagine her face turning into something like Mandy's from the old "Grim Adventures" cartoon. O.o
Oh, yes. Something like that can completely tear away your faith in the world. Where after such, any hints of happiness is prone to ending the universe as we know it.
Me, I'm still fuming over the recent release of The Golden Compass. Though nakedly pretentious, I was okay with the game coming out before the film, and shrugged it off in my excitement for seeing what could have very well been my most favorite book trilogy come to life. I never got the chance to see it in theaters, but a friend brought the DVD along one day and we watched it.
It looked good, yes. It looked as good as it should. It looked incredible. I loved the visuals.
But- and I'm not entirely sure how many times this has been stressed before, and shall continue to be stressed for years to come (and I care not what Mr. Pullman has or has not to say about the movie(s))- you CANNOT compress a story of FOUR HUNDRED beautiful pages into even TWO HOURS of screen time! If you attempt to do so, some or much of the story WILL be lost! And by such logic, you've not compressed any story at all, but remade it in brief. You know you you are, and know now that I shake my fists at thee! SHAKE THEM, I SAY! SHAKE!!
I uh, *ahem* think HDM could have done better. Perhaps better luck with The Subtle Knife, which I know they will move on to. That's all.
I think the thing about Grape's smile that is creeping people out might be her eyes. my cat looks the same way when she gets exited.
Also, Grape's a fangirl? It's a sign of the Apocalypse! Everyone RUN!
and finally, in response to Odos, This… Is… PRIDELANDS!!!
Yes, Yes greatly! *boot*
Lol, this comic hits the spot on fandom. However, the first strip in the comic Grape doesn't have the 2 whiskers that are on most cats of this comic. Was her smile so wide that the whiskers couldn't be seen in a single panel? Just a thought. Also, I predict the next comic of Grape attending the movie and either be extremely flustered by the content or disappointed to the difference of the book series. What do y'all think?
By the way, lovin' the new yet familiar style you're use to Rick.
I knew it would be impossible for Grape to hate EVERYthing. As for her infanity (or 'fan's insanity'), its only compounded by the smile overtaking her face in the first panel. Any true fan of anything can relate to her. And her annoyance.
And, hey, now I want to read Pridelands, too! I mean, as of this strip, I've heard only good things.
And the poster? Its function is promotional, of course. Though, I'll have to side with Grape: Rawr, also.
Peanut's reaction is like dead on to my reaction to my sister obsessing over Twilight.
this is how i was with the Animorphs books. lol
You're starting a story arc that involves buff lions in tribal clothing?
We must light the ceremonial fires and dance in worship and thanks to the great Griffin!
First time posting but I've read them all up to this point!G-rated comic eh?Refreshing I must say.(Though I like others not quite so G as well) Very funny to boot.And this style fits perfectly too!I say keep this style.Keep up the good work.
Grape still looks like a snake or a demon of some sort.
Grape Reminds me of an imp tbh.
I forgot which game it was, but it had a purple Demon that carried about tokens (some game I got from Play-Asia) and I remembering it looking quite alike Current Grape.
Nice but I wonder, does that mean Grape was into harder books as a kitten or that she still reads kitten books now?
book fans ya know the ones that are always lining up for a stupid book… im mean us gamers never do stuff like that or hang in front of gamestops for days for a new video game.
'Us' gamers, no. Some gamers, yes.
If even 5% of humans enjoy a good entertainment enough to wait for their opportunity to take a piece of it home, then it is reasonable to say about 5% of gamers do, as well. I could go into this, but I'll spare you by advising you keep an eye out for the reception the next 'Halo' gets, and compare it with the 'Harry Potter' reception thus far.
I do believe that was sarcasm. Also, and I'm sorry to be such a grammar stickler, it should be "we gamers."
I'm surprised I didn't catch that! Thank you, fellow stickler.
So, Peanut assumed Grape's poster is just eye candy, but also thought Grape was a guy early on? Either the poster appear later, or Peanut must have thought Grape was gay…
I was thinking the same thing! How long has that poster been there, for as long as grapes been a fan (I.E. since she was a kitten), or just recently (as a lot of new books do, they also make posters of the covers).
Also, I'm wondering if there could be a 3rd option, Grapes had it for a while, and Peanut's seen it more as a "that's what grape aspires to be when 'he' (not knowing grape is female) grows up." Kinda like why some guys keep other posters of movies with "manly men" on them looking all manly (300, Gladiator, The Matrix [though, I'll admit, that also had 2 others on there] poster come to mind)
It's a lot like why guys watch movies like 300, or play games like Gears of War or God of War… If you think about it, those movies and games are all about big, buff guys doing manly things and being all manly, and killing stuff, with explosions usually… So, going by these 2 logics, these guys watching/playing these games, or having these movie posters, may, or may not be, gay.
you…………. just broke my fragile little mind……………….
Don't you think its funny how webcomics have a comment section? Just think how would Peanuts turn out if Schultz had readers posting comments on a website.
typical MALE Dawg,LOL
Ah, I finally like the new Grape… maybe it was the eyes that had her down the whole time.
The fully open eyes seemed more natural to me, idk.
Ummm…. Why does the Basket have a sign saying "Jelly(Supposedly)" on it?
It's Grape's middle name; her full name is Grape Jelly Sandwich.
Peanut's is, similarly, Peanut Butter Sandwich.
Together, they are Peanut Butter and Grape Jelly Sandwich.
Lions are nice… but as soon as I see a buff tiger in tribal clothing, you will have me. Forever.
Peanut looks more manly than in the older style. It makes me giggle. He looks too mature, for an innocent little pup like Peanut. Huhuhu~
You know, I got to use this one comic against many of my friends. I wonder if they will get the hint.
poeple don't get hints unless yea tell them what yea hinting….in my experince anyway
Hey, A guy can wish can't he? Heh
New style is working out quite nicely. I really like how Grape has evolved wtih it.
Also, I lol'd.
The new style makes grape look a bit more fox-ish than feline, just my opinion, which is usless (please ignore if you think I am wrong)
what are the other functions?

Gill Grunt stands on the podium
Gill Grunt: Spyro, you've been the dragon to everyone around you. Everybody loves you. Boys, girls, people crazy for bestiality.
Everyone laughs
Gill Grunt: Seriously man, why the Kaos do you look the way you do now? At first, you looked cool, then you looked almost human and now you're an ugly Barney the dinosaur love child.
Spyro: <laughs>
Gill Grunt: I wouldn't be surprised to see you in the next Maury show episode on who is the father. If I find out Barney really is your dad I would flip!
Everyone laughs
Gill Grunt: Awww who am I kidding, Spyro I love ya man!
Prism Break: Next up, Eruptor!
Eruptor: You know Spyro's first game pit him against Gnasty Gnorc. No girls to save, not getting laid, and saving horny old dragon men. Seriously Spyro WTF?

Eruptor: Gnasty Gnorc was one mean dude I gotta admit. But seriously, TWO hits?! It makes Cloud N' Candy a dominatrix compared to you!
Gnasty Gnorc: OMG he's so right! <laughs>
Eruptor: Spyro, you're everyones favorite dragon. You're my favorite dragon too!
Prism Break: Next its Cynder!
Cynder: Look, I know what everyone is saying. It must be great to have Spyro as a boyfriend right? Haha, WRONG!!! Spyro completely sucks in bed.
Everyone: Oooooh.
Cynder: I'll be so lucky if he was hard like Bash, long like Camo, horny like Zap, and dominant as Sunburn. They say purple is the most powerful and rare of the dragons but not where it counts.
Spyro: <gulp>
Cynder: Do you know how hard it is for Spyro to get it up? Why do you think I gotten breast implants?!
Everyone laughs
Cynder: Even though Drobot has a built in toy feature and I would definately go to bed with him, I still love you Spyro. <3 Can't wait til we get home sweetie~.
Spyro: <laughs>
Prism Break: Next up we have Boomer!
Boomer: Dude, I took a day off of trolling to come here! Spyro, why is it that every guy you fight has an inferiority complex? When are you gonna get a real villain to fight?
Everyone laughs
Boomer: I had high hopes for Malefor but, seriously, they've gotten Christen Bale to do his voice?! I couldn't understand a word he was saying!
Spyro: That's true. <laughs>
Boomer: Then theres Ripto. The "I hate dragons" guy! Why because they're bigger than you?
Ripto: ...
Boomer: I'm surprised the producers actually allowed you to be in 3 games. New powers, same agenda, same little hothead. C'mon, you're like the worst villain ever! The Sorcerous is more scarier than you and I think shes a joke. Thats right Ripto, you're the most worthless villain in Spyro history! Why else would you be in Enter The Dragonfly?!
Everyone except Ripto starts dying
Ripto: Thats it! I had it up to here with you!
Wrecking Ball shows up next to him
Wrecking Ball: Wow, not that high I see.
Everyon laughs
Ripto: Shut up you gluttunous pile of ****!
Everyone: BOOOO!!!
Ripto: We have the worlds first dragon whore of gaming, a lava golem with anorexia, a fish that sounds like $#!+, and a green Spongebob?! These are the so-called heroes of Skylands?! Spyro, you really disappoint me. You're relying on the help with these $#!+s. I rather play Bubsy than Skylands! In 3D!
Spyro: Guards...
Stump Smash and Ignitor grab him
Ripto: Get off me mother-!
Ripto is "escorted" out (He got thrown in the dumpster)
Spyro: Wow, sorry for that little outburst and I really mean "little".
Everyone laughs
Spyro: C'mon guys! These are the jokes you came up with! Gill Grunt, you should take that fish stick out your mouth. I really can't understand what you're saying. Boomer, the troll face called, he wants his face back. Eruptor, I like you but, someone should give you a muzzle. You keep drooling all ove the place. Cynder, oh Cynder, I'm grateful you gotten the breast implants but, I hate to break it to you. In bed, its like doing a pillow, you're silent, and un-emotional. Whirlwind is way better in bed than you and she's flat-chested!
Everyone laughs
Spyro: Haha, thank you all for coming. I hope you all enjoyed yourselves but remember who brought you all here, ME, Spyro the mother****ing dragon!!! PEACE OUT ****ers!!!
Everyone laughs and claps
