Three dead, including suspect, after shooting at Martin's Super Market
(video of Indiana State Trooper news conference)
(Interview with son of a Martin's employee.)
One man and two women are dead after a shooting in Martin's Super Market on 3900 E. Bristol St. Wednesday night, according to information from the Indiana State Police.
The man, described as a white male in his early 20s, is believed to be the gunman, according to an announcement made shortly before 1 a.m. by State Police Trooper Sgt. Trent Smith. The state police will be leading the investigation.
The Elkhart City 911 Dispatch Center confirmed that emergency crews were alerted to an active shooter just after 10 p.m. Wednesday.
Two Elkhart Police officers patrolling and area nearby responded within minutes of the call, Smith said. The officers fatally shot the suspect after they found him in the store pointing a gun at another person. The suspect was carrying a handgun and a large knife, Smith said.
One victim, an employee at the store, was believed to be in her late teens or early 20s. The other victim appeared to be a woman customer in her 40s.
The women were found 10 to 12 aisles apart, but Smith did not say where in the store the suspect was shot.
Their identities will not be released until immediate family has been notified. As of 1 a.m. Thursday, it was unclear when that would be.
Authorities don't yet know if there was a connection between any of the victims, Smith said. No one else was injured.
The Elkhart Police Department Chaplain arrived on the scene at about 11:15 p.m.
Witnesses who were in the store were taken to the Elkhart Police Station. The scene was secured before midnight, meaning the shooter is no longer a threat, according to Elkhart Assistant Police Chief Laura Koch. No other details were given.
Elkhart County Prosecutor Curtis Hill was at the scene. Among other agencies, the state police, the Elkhart Police, and the Elkhart Fire Department also responded.

Discussion (59) ¬
Heh, cute, like always.
Peanut is sure enjoying himself…when Grape isn't >.<
Wait… don't they drive on the left side of the car? How did Peanut fit through?
Maybe the car is imported from Britain? Or maybe Peanut is a lot closer to the size of real dogs than we thought
Or Mr. Sandwitch is a postman and just used to driving on the right side of the car.
wait, scratch that, just read the character page on that ^.^;
What's wrong with it being Australian? It's not like Britian's the only country with the steering wheel on the right…
What's wrong with it being British? Or Japanese? Or Zimbabwean?
Now hush, and don't worry. That mean old Britain can't do anything to you anymore. Your cars are every bit as asymmetrically right as theirs.
Let's go; I'll make you a sandwich.
Or peanut is in the driver's lap. Thats how I usually see dogs with their heads out the window.
You know, that's actually illegal? This one time my dad got stopped for speeding (as usual), and the dog was in his lap, and the officer gave him an extra note on the ticket for it.
Ewww… although I suppose it was inevitable. The dog-and-car-window gag is quite irresistable.
The funny thing is, the first and only time MY dog ever did that, he fell out. Good thing it happened at a stoplight!
Grape's probably thinking, "And I thought his snoring was bad!"
Eww, that would not be pleasant. reminds me of when my brother spit out the window with me in the back.
Why is Peanut not on his side of the car?
There going to get pulled over by a sheriff dog for being out of there car seat!
Peanut: "Aahlahlahlah!"
Grape: "I HATE baths!"
Love the right-hand drive
When I was a little kid, I got sand all in my hair once and hated it. On the drive home, I stuck my head out the window and scrubbed my head to get the last of the sand loose.
When Mom asked what I thought I was doing, I said, "I'm giving myself a blow job!".
I swear to God, I had no idea what that meant when I was five.
Lordy. Ah the joys of being young… *remembers the time he yelled, "Kick her balls!" XD*
Not as bad as learning the -old- meaning of gay when your in first grade and being pestered for it until 7th grade. xD
Same with me. And slightly different.
See, in my first and middle name, there's the same sound: ***ry **rie. So, my baby-sitter called me Ree-ree. Then I told my friends about it….. not so pretty….
Wow ROFL, Great Comic!
I wonder why peanut couldn't have just stayed at the back with grape while doing it? Then again, it wouldn' be as funny as it is now, lol.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Cutie Peanut!
Ok, the gag HAD to be there…but wasn't peanut supposed to stay in the back seat with Grape?
Don't be such a spoil-sport. Then it wouldn't be funny because Grape's face would be dry!
Frank is right! The joke wouldn't work at all in that fashion!
…unless they were somehow strafing the car rightward at similar speeds. That wouldn't make sense, but four-wheel steering may become advanced enough to allow that someday. That, or we'll start using spheres like in–
Yeah, stop myself before making a film reference. That's exactly what Hollywood wants me to do.
Reminds me of riding the bus to school, one kid spit out the window, the next window back would find out what he had for lunch.
Awesome comic! I love the detail of the car. Very nice.
hes always cute ^^
lmao!…poor grape XD
No matter how smart a dog gets, they ALWAYS want to do that. Also, most cats tend to hate cars anyway… Funny how that works.
Cats tend to feel they're being locked up when you put them in a car. Oh sure, the cage moves, but it's still a cage. Cats also like to explore and observe their surroundings constantly. Hard to do when every minute puts you a mile away.
Dogs, on the other hand, only like to check thier "territory" occasionally. In the wild, canines get on a high place to do this (before going around sniffing everything). These kinds of high places usually have a strong updraft, which can easily mean 60 mph winds. Now how else can we get 60 mph winds when there are no high places around?
Now, as a human, get atop a building and try saying "everything the light touches belongs to me". Doesn't that make you feel powerful? Doesn't that feel good? Wouldn't you give anything to be reminded of that feeling? Even if it was just the way the wind felt in your face as you said it?
OR… seeing as how dogs are prominently olfactory in their investigations, as humans are prominently visual in their investigations, a dog would find the various scents outside the car more interesting than the vistas outside the car.
Though, your explanation is a lot more fun to read. I feel happy now.
Actually, it could be a combination of the two. Who really knows?
*gasp!* There should be an 'Ask a Pet' edition!–
"Hello, I'm Gigi."
"-and I'm Osa."
"And we play Peanut and Grape on the popular webcomic 'Housepets!'."
"That's right, Gigi. And for the next fifteen minutes, we will be answering some of the questions you, our readers, have been asking about us pets."
"Because we don't just play them on the internet!"
"Ahaha. No we do not."
"Let's get started."
"The first question is by Robert, from Michigan. Robert writes: …"
Um, not that, in a strange, redundant superfiction surrounding the Housepets! fiction, their names would be Gigi and Osa. I just… think those would be good names.
Ha ha ha. I've always wanted to see Peanut act more like a dog. I would be really satisfied if Grape actually said "Meow."
Out of curiosity…what is Peanut's breed? My guess would be a beagle and a labrador cross. He is sweet like a lab, but colored kinda like a beagle. idk.
On the outside of that tangent…Peanut is SO CUTE!!
He's a mutt. I had a dog that had all the same markings. He was a mutt.
I believe Gwenhwyvar was inquiring toward something more specific. 'Mutt' is not a breed, but Beagle-Lab is.
Labreagle. Beaglab. Labreagor. Bealabradorgle. Labreaglador.
I think that's all of them…? Anyway, I think that may be the answer. Labradeagledor.
The cutest dog in the whole panel!
Yes you are!
Aren't you!?
Wait. Why would I ask him after I just supplied the answer to that exact same qu– eh. He's just cute! Period!
rofl I can't say this one was as cute xD
And we're back to hiding human faces, I guess? ^^;;;
Apparently the strange and shocking failure to obscure Joel's face was actually intentional due to his swollen role among the animals. Like many other great comics, Housepets! revolves around the animals– these 'housepets', if you will– causing their owners, along with many other human characters, to lack description, involvement, or evolution. As a result, they retain a certain aloofness, which, in the case of Joel, ceased the moment he chose to confide such personal information in the canine officers.
While this explanation was likely unneeded, and bloated considering its subject matter, I have come to a compromise in myself. It seems tantamount to the following: Such a serious strip within a famously carefree comic enterprise begs serious discussion within a famously carefree fandom. Hence the reception observed upon its posting and dear doG, would people stop asking questions so I can eat my dinner!? I'm only one man!
omgosh XD *slobber*
Grape needs an umbrella!
I am to lazy to read the other posts to see if anyone else has already said this but…
Peanut is sitting in Mr. Sandwhich's lap. You can see Mrs. Sandwhich's Ear ring under Mr Sandwhich's ear. The little green circle is in no way connected to Mr Sandwich's ear. Also you can see some of Mrs Sandwhich's hair if you look really closly.
I pay way to much attention to detail. v_v
I was under the impression that the green bauble-shape was simply another tree passing the car, as seen through the passenger side window. I don't see the hair you're talking about, but the oddly un-green/blue area between Peanut and Mr. Sandwich looks to me like Mrs. Sandwich could be leaning slightly forward in her seat.
None of this really matters, but I'm not one to pass up the submission of a third opinion.
This is soooo cute! It would make a great t-shirt!
I can relate to that *Giggle* ^^

The Apple iPad was introduced on January 27th 2010 and millions are sold worldwide to both consumers and business users. People use the iPad at home to browse the internet, read e-mail and play games. On the couch in bed or at the kitchen table. The iPad is also used in a growing number of business processes. Samples are the ordering food and beverages in restaurants and use for inflight documentatation by pilots. But the iPad is also becomming used in the Office space: Business Meetings.
Traditional Business Meetings
Traditionally we are used to receive the meeting agenda and meeting documentation on paper, and more lately digital via e-mail. The attendees print their documents on a printer or multifunctional and take them to the meeting. If you are lucky, your assistent will print it for you. During the meeting some (seldom all) of the documents are actually used and some required documents are not available at the time of need. This even may delay an important business decision. After the meeting most paper documents are throw away as the documents are still available in a digital form. The modern life of a paper based business document is less than 24 hours. Is there a smarter way?
iPad in Business Meetings
Assume you have all the documents which may be needed during the meeting ready for use in a digital store. This can include documents but also prepared business presentations. Already a big advantage as documents can be delivered just in time, instead of days before. You also can grant access to documents you might need during the meeting.
To improve the efficiency of a business meeting all particpants need to have an Apple iPad tablet. This can be a private or business owned device. Create a connection to your companies document archive or use Dropbox to access documents via the internet.
Some prefer to have business meetings outside the company. Access to documents can become a problem. Store the document in a Dropbox folder and you will have instant access. The only requirement is a wireless internet access at the external location, which is basicly stand service in most commercial meeting points. Via the internet all documents are available or can be made available on demand by the office assistant.
But access alone is not really improving the efficiency of the meeting. Particpants need to be able to browse together through the same document, discuss the content, add annotations and decisions, and even share presentations, without the need of a beamer. Additional tools, iPad applications, are becomming available to support business meetings without paper documents.
Cool iPad Apps for Business Meetings
Dropbox. Dropbox is one of the best known internet file sharing and document storing application on the market. Dropbox can integrate with almost any device, including laptops, mobile phones and tablets. Dropbox acts like online diskdrive on the computer. Folders can be shared with different people, which make collaberation easy in multiple global project teams. Not on your own computer, just login via the the net. Start your own free 2Gb of online diskspace at DROPBOX today!
GoodReader is one of the greatest document readers available on the iPad. GoodReader can read PDF, TXT, Ms Office (.doc, .xls, .ppt), iWork, HTML, images, audio and video. Annotations can be added and GoodReader documents can be organised in folders and integrated and synced with remote server archives (iDisk, Dropbox, WebDAV and FTP). LINK to GOODREADER.
IdeaFlight is a new cool app to perform presentations in without a beamer. Become a pilot and invite the other particpants board as passenger. All will see the same presentation or PDF document on their iPad and the pilot swipes the next slide to lead the discussion. All partipants can add notes and save the presentation for later review. IdeaFlight is secure, only invited and in the same room have access. Learn more at Ideaflight
With 360 eMeetings board and council members can access, navigate and read meeting agendas, case information and meeting documents on their iPad. No more large heaps of paper to be printed, distributed and handled. All meeting information and documents always available, searchable and ready for download. Learn more at 360 eMeetings.

Have you ever thought what it would be like if school would be a lot different than what it is now? Well I know I have. For the past week have been doing my own research on how there are different techniques of teaching. Not only did I find out that school can be online but also teachers are able to record themselves showing us what they would like us to learn for the day and put it online for us to see at home. Do you think this would be a good idea for your public schools?
If I were to be able to plan out my own school and make my own rules on how teaching would be done. I would like to give a chance for the teachers to get use to technology and how all things work. I think it would be important for the teachers to know how technology is used and why it's useful. It would help them connect with others and may help them realize things online could be easier. For example students won't have to worry remembering the wrong thing when they can just go back online and see what the lesson was about over and over again.
Sometimes students have a hard time remember what task they were given and it gives them a hard time on homework. I think being able to go through the homework together in class would be a good idea because it gives the students a chance to discuss what they had trouble with. Students may find it more easier to ask in front of others instead of waiting for the right time. Or they may just simply keep their question to themselves.
If the school district were to give each student their own laptops it would help them from downloading all the software's that schools computers have that ours don't. It would be easier access for the students who may not be able to get the correct software they may need.
In my own opinion letting students have access to youtube during school is and isn't a great idea. It is because youtube will give us the chance to search for an example we may be needing to know how to improve a school project or to know at least if we are on the right track. It isn't because some students may simply just take advantage and look up videos that aren't necessary. Maybe if the students were able to bring they're own device then I would say study hall could be the best place for letting students to bring their own device and let them have access to internet.

As we commemorate the first Thanksgiving, I'd like to share a "playlist" of my favorite songs that give thanks, in one respect or another. The choices reflect both my eclecticism, and offer varying takes on the theme of gratitude. Feel free to import this playlist into your favorite music streaming app (ie: Spotify or Grooveshark) and listen while you prepare your bird, or tailgate before settling in for an afternoon of pro football:
Thank You Falettinme Be Mice Elf Again Sly and the Family Stone -
What's not to appreciate here? That groovy horn section, Sylvester Stewart's wry, subversive lyrics, the funky wah-wah guitars (that would launch a thousand protegés), this is the song you put on when folks are just milling around, and you want to get them up on their feet. A fave on party playlists everywhere, and for good reason, it's been covered by many different artists: perhaps the most innovative version was performed by post-punk outfit Magazine on their third album, The Correct Use of Soap.
Friends The Beach Boys -
Actually, I am filled with gratitude anytime I experience the musical genius that is Brian Wilson, but only major Beach Boys fans might be familiar with the title track of their obscure '68 release. It's another grandly beautiful masterpiece, featuring marvelous harmonies, Wilson's emotionally honest lyricism ("(We) turned each other on/to the good things that life has to give/And days I was down, you would help me/Get out of my hole....") and a slightly country-ish vibe, accentuated by a sad harmonica solo.
Thank God I'm A Country Boy John Denver -
A favorite tune from the John Denver canon (and a perennial request in concert), this song captures Denver in a live setting, extolling the virtues of a simple, rural life like nobody else can. The arrangement is classic country with a decidedly Appalachian flavor, and it's hard even for the most urban-reared not to appreciate the joys of a down-home breakfast, the beauty of nature, and remembrance of a time in our not so distant past when things like honesty, integrity, and hard work not only had meaning, but were revered.
Thank You Led Zeppelin -
After checking out their auspicious debut, we knew these bad boys could rip through the blues, and deliver the sexual swagger of classic rock'n'roll, but it would take this track from their sophomore release to show that Plant, Page & Co. could deliver a heartfelt ballad. "If the sun refused to shine/I would still be loving you/When the mountains crumble to the sea/There would still be you and me.." Could this be the first apocalyptic love song? Perhaps. But Robert Plant's plaintive delivery and Jimmy Page's understated phrasing make this not only a timeless tune, but appears on the playlists of many a live performer. Even Duran Duran covered this Zep tune, on their appropriately titled album of covers, Thank You.
You Made Me So Very Happy Blood, Sweat and Tears -
All love songs are expressions of gratitude in some respect, however this 1969 tune from Blood, Sweat and Tears works because it remains true to the original songwriters' soulful origins, while lead singer David Clayton-Thomas doesn't just convey the joy in finding true love, he matter-of-factly chronicles the disillusionment he's experienced from past relationships: "I've lost at love before/Got mad and closed the door/But you search out, just once more....." Alternating between a wistful solo trumpet and a full-on horn section during the chorus, this tune is a tour-de-force performance, and "classic" in the truest sense of the word.

Linking Past And Future
The Taipei Biennial starts on September 7th with participation by 23 new artists
The 2010 Taipei Biennial (TB10) is reconsidering the biennial format through a number of structural proposals introduced by curators Hongjohn Lin and Tirdad Zolghadr. Despite the absence of a curatorial master plan to scream from the rooftops, a potential leitmotif is the question of what is distinctive of biennials today. TB10 therefore looks both forward and backward as it explores those themes.
A full calendar of events awaits art lovers in September 2010 thanks to the biennial's ambitious program. Although the number of new artists has been restricted to 23, a total of 50 artists are included via collaborations that both revisit the past and reach into the future.
Other areas of Taipei have been added to the usual biennial venues to bring together urban infrastructure and artistic production. Another noteworthy addition to this year's biennial are the 'Sputniks', three critical companions who are invited to consistently provide unsparing feedback, taking the form of interventions if necessary.

Trees are brought down and power supplies knocked out as a band of "wild" weather sweeps across parts of the country.
07:07, UK, Monday 27 January 2014
A "mini tornado" has swept through parts of the Midlands and southern Britain, bringing down trees, knocking out power causing damage to outbuildings.
The funnel-shaped formation was spotted above several towns in Surrey including Chobham, Epsom and Knaphill, as well as in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, and in Harlow, Essex.
Ferocious thunderstorms accompanied by heavy rain and hail were reported in Birmingham, Nottingham and Milton Keynes, as well as parts of Kent and Essex.
Twitter and Facebook were flooded by messages and pictures from people caught up in the severe weather.
Pam Steadman said parts of an equestrian centre next to her house in Epsom were lifted over trees at the bottom of her garden.
Heather Riley reported "lots of damage to houses and cars" in Nuneaton, Warwickshire.
Darran Jaques, who described the weather as "wild", said scaffolding had been ripped down and shop fronts damaged in northeast Surrey, while Jean Ramgoolam tweeted: "Looks like a mini tornado just went past!"
It is thought the intense weather may have been caused by a squall line - a band of thunderstorms that precedes a cold front.
Satellite pictures showed a clear line of heavy storms moving slowly across the country from the North West to the South East.
As well as damage to property, the severe weather caused widespread power cuts across the country.
UK Power Networks, which maintains electricity cables and lines across London, the South East and the East, said it received a "high number of calls" from customers as the storm swept through.
In the area around Tonbridge, Kent, more than 8,000 people were left without power, although supplies have since been restored for most.
The storms come as communities in the South and South West prepare for possible flooding, with further heavy rain forecast to fall on already saturated ground.
Sedgemoor District Council has declared a "major incident" on the Somerset Levels, where pumps are being used to keep floodwater away from homes.
Other parts of the country, including the Northern Pennines and parts of western Scotland, saw a sprinkling of snow.

I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I can't for the life of me figure out what the heck is going on. I've looked around and I've seen similar questions of this nature, but nothing exactly matching my issue.
I'm looking to replace my current file/print server. In place of the old one would be a 64 bit Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1. I have added the 64 bit drivers to the server, but it's my understanding that I need to push 32 bit drivers to my clients (as they're all 32 bit machines).
So I go into the Printer Properties and select the Sharing tab. I click the "Additional Drivers" button and attempt to select x86. I then point to the 32 bit drivers for the printer in question and hit okay. Then I'm asked to provide a path to the I386 folder (which I do) but every time I click "OK"it keeps asking for that folder again. I end up in an endless loop of trying to show the system where the folder is.
Can someone provide me with some guidance about what I'm doing wrong? Any guidance is appreciated.

I've had
rsnapshot working under Slackware 13.0 for a few months. In my
/etc/rsnapshot_<interval> scripts I first have it run is
mount -o remount,rw then the very last thing it does is a
mount -o remount,ro. The reason behind this is to protect my backups from accidental deletion by making them read-only whenever they are not actively being created.
When I upgraded to 13.1 this
-o remount functionality seems to have either disappeared or broken:
# mount -t nfs
192.168.1.5:/slackware on /slackware type nfs (rw,addr=192.168.1.5)
# mount -o remount,ro /slackware
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified
Does anybody have a proposed solution to remedy this?

"Supernatural" season 9 continues next week with episode 17, "Mother's Little Helper," directed by Misha Collins, and Crowley's (Mark Sheppard) desire to get rid of his competition continues as well – but is Dean (Jensen Ackles) stalling? That's what Crowley thinks in the sneak peek the CW released Thursday, March 20.
In this next "SPN" episode, Dean tells Sam (Jared Padalecki) to investigates a possible possession without him while he struggles with the after effects of the Mark of Cain. While Sam's away, Crowley tests Dean.
The last episode, "Blade Runners," saw their search for the First Blade lead Sam, Dean and Crowley to Magnus, a rogue Man of Letters who had been kicked out, and Magnus wanted to add Dean and his Mark to his collection. In the end, however, Dean used the Blade to cut off Magnus' head, and it wasn't easy to Sam to break through the hold and anger that took over Dean when he did.
Now, the "Mother's Little Helper" sneak peek offers a look at Crowley confronting Dean about holding up his end of the bargain. "Go to hell," the hunter tells him. "Oh, if only," Crowley replies. He thinks Dean's stalling and asks how he felt when he used the Blade on Magnus' head. "Not half as good as I'm going to feel when it's yours," Dean threatens. Crowley things he's scared. Considering what we saw when Dean used it on Magnus, he should be.
"Supernatural" season 9 airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on the CW. What do you think the Mark is going to do to Dean?

I have a screenrc file but I am finding some conflicts when I run emacs inside screen. For e.g, moving across buffers in emacs, Ctrl-right arrow/left arrow, instead of moving back and forth sends some characters into the buffers such as 5C, 5D etc. This problem exists even when I invoke screen without any screenrc file. But at least the other conflicts were not there. But I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to fix this ?
Since I have my own bindings in my screenrc file and I want to continue using it, so I was thinking that I will keep my screenrc file but when I want to start emacs in a new screen, I will not use my screenrc. Is there any way to while invoking screen to not to use screenrc ? Till now I have been managing by renaming my screenrc file to something else when starting emacs.
Is there any way in which emacs itself can work as screen, as in I am using screen so that my emacs session does not terminate whenever the remote ssh session goes down. I found some documentation regarding emacs client and emacs server but could not understand much. I would appreciate if someone could tell how to save sessions inside emacs and restore them so that I dont need to use screen for emacs if its possible, as in one should be able to restore the emacs process again.
migrated from stackoverflow.com Jul 11 '11 at 8:33
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
I only have input on your question #3.
As of emacs 23, emacs has a daemon mode which for me has obviated the need to run emacs inside screen. On my first login after a boot, I start
Multiple clients can coexist happily. I routinely run an X client on my workstation screen at work, an X client through ssh login from home, and a terminal client on my phone. All talking to the same emacs process, with all my buffers and other state intact. And should my ssh connection on my phone die, I can just continue where I left off after logging in again.
I don't know enough about keybindings in screen to help you with your first two questions.
1) This has to do with the way in which Emacs interpets escape sequences sent by the terminal. This is fun stuff! You should configure your input-decode-map, e.g., by defining the following function in your .emacs file:
(Note that the
This function is magically called by Emacs running inside screen.
2) You can invoke screen with its
Note that this file could be empty.
3) Managing sessions in emacs can sometimes be tedious. Off the shelf, Emacs provides desktop save mode which I personally don't use, but I've read mixed reports on it. You might want to give it a try. A good overview over alternative approaches can be found on the Emacs wiki.
An alternative to session management in the first place is to run Emacs as a server and connect to it with
For #1
Try invoking emacs like so from inside screen:
CTRL+arrow should now work as intented
Another way to have part of 3) is to use tramp: with tramp you can use the Emacs running on your computer to edit a file on your server. Just open
This can also be used for other "remote" use for example
tramp will reopen the ssh connection when needed, and you can even use tramp to run program on the remote host (VCS stuff for example).

During this year's Super Bowl, CBS plans to air an ad from an organization called Focus on the Family. The ad will feature NFL player Tim Tebow and will take an anti-abortion stance. Should CBS air such a controversial ad during such a populist event? Participating in this week's Conversation are Press Publisher Jed Morey, Associate Publisher Beverly Fortune, and Editor in Chief Michael Patrick Nelson.
BEVERLY: The Super Bowl will be watched by millions of people. It is regarded as a family-type show with family-type entertainment, and a halftime show that is hotly anticipated. Let's not even get into how the country dealt with seeing Janet Jackson's nipple. The fallout from that wardrobe malfunction is still being discussed, six years later. How are we then supposed to digest an ad that really boils down to a woman's freedom? Are we ready to go back 50 years?
JED: I think this is less about the content, or intent, of the show. Super Bowl, Oscars or Sponge Bob, this is about whether it is the media's responsibility to edit commercial messages. Just as I don't believe the government can or should legislate morality, I don't believe media companies should get involved in the debate over broadcasting morality. If the group paying for the ad is organized lawfully the debate should end there.
MIKE: It's hard to deal in absolutes, though, especially with the limited inventory we're talking about here. The sheer demand for air time during the Super Bowl requires that CBS turn away some advertisers; on what basis do they choose to do so? It's worth noting that CBS turned down two other ads they presumably deemed objectionable—one for Internet domain company GoDaddy, which features (and I'm quoting ABC News here) "an effeminate former football player-turned-lingerie designer," and one from Man Crunch, a dating website for gay men, which shows two male football fans kissing. In that context, I think it's fair to question their decision to air the Focus on the Family spot.
BEVERLY: I have to agree with Mike on this one. It seems that CBS is being arbitrary about what they deem is acceptable for public viewing. I saw the Man Crunch video and it's nothing that hasn't been seen on Two and a Half Men or any other primetime show. I believe that the difference here is that the Focus on the Family spot is an advocacy ad, not a for-profit advertisement, which will then open the door for more of this propaganda to be seen on other sports shows. What's next? Can we expect an ad from the Catholic Church espousing fidelity during the Masters tournament? Where does it end?
JED: I agree that they're being duplicitous but still think they should accept the advertisement. By choosing to prohibit any lawfully organized business willing to pay prevailing rates for advertising during the Super Bowl or any other network program, they are going down a slippery slope. I don't think that CBS, as a publicly held entity—governed by the Federal Communications Commission and established for the public benefit—should have moral or ideological leanings. It should be a matter of law and economics. I think most pharmaceutical companies do more harm than good and should be banned from shoveling their propaganda down the throats of Americans, so to use your question, where does it end?
MIKE: Well, we could further question the twisted values of a game that seemingly encourages (A) gambling and (B) binge drinking, but feels that even hints of homosexuality should be banished. It's purely hypothetical, Jed, but would you support the airing of a spot for Planned Parenthood during the Super Bowl? I assume so. Would CBS air it? I have my doubts. I'm not saying the Focus on the Family ad shouldn't be aired; I'm saying that by choosing to air that spot and rejecting others that fall on another end of the spectrum, CBS is broadcasting morality, even as its defenders might suggest the opposite.

I wore my neon-orange Stephen Sprouse jacket in London when I went to the "David Bowie Is" exhibit at the Victoria and Albert Museum. It looks washed-out in this weirdly lit photo, but it's not like that in person.
What Wendy Wore to the Museum
Jacket: Vintage Stephen Sprouse (first seen in 2008)
Top: Versace (pre-2005)
Jeans: Citizens of Humanity (2011)
Shoes: Prada (2011)
Purse: Louis Vuitton (2001)
The exhibit was incredible. Usually I zip through museum exhibits and finish long before MrB (I read the wall captions faster!) but I was having so much fun dancing to the Bowie concert clips being shown in the
final second-to-last room that MrB wound up waiting for me for 45 minutes in the gift shop.
The exhibit runs through August 11 and if you're in London, I urge you to go! Book your tickets a couple of days ahead of time because the show does sell out. I found it so inspiring. For one thing, it was good to know that it took Bowie a few years to break into the music business. I'm always reminding myself (and my friends) that it takes 10 years to be an overnight success, so it's reassuring to know that even truly great artists struggled. And seeing Bowie's iconic, envelope-pushing costumes in real life was incredible, especially knowing that these days people panic over a performer like Usher wearing a pair of bright sneakers. Imagine if Usher wore the Kansai Yamamoto, knit, one-legged, one-sleeved bodysuit that Bowie wore on his Aladdin Sane tour in 1973!
In 2009, I wrote about another costume Yamamoto created for the same tour and it was a thrill to see it in person.
Doesn't it suck that, in some ways, artists have gotten more conservative over the decades? It's all so corporate, with "brand managers" crawling all over the creative people in every field, trying to choreograph every move in order to maximize the profits that pay for the brand managers' salaries. Not much to be done about it though — that's the world we live in.
If you're not going to be able to catch the Bowie exhibit in London, you can get the exhibition catalog here. I highly recommend it. And while I'm making recommendations, I vote for the Metropolitan Museum of Art to pack up the V&A's Bowie exhibit and fly it to New York City in time for the Costume Institute Ball next year. It would be huge success for sure.
After the museum, we went back to the hotel, where I changed part of my outfit for the theater that night. We saw One Man, Two Guvnors, which was highlarious. I laughed till I cried in my Jason Wu dress. I was still wearing the Sprouse jacket. I got the dress because it went with the jacket, and I was disappointed that I didn't get to wear the combination last month when I debuted the dress in Chicago. It was too hot there, but London weather is good for jackets.
What Wendy Wore to the Theater
Jacket: Vintage Stephen Sprouse
Dress: Jason Wu (2013)
Shoes: Prada (2010)
I took the Underground back to the hotel … not the scooter I'm sitting on. I just borrowed that for the picture. Thanks, unknown scooter owner!
UPDATED TO ADD: I've linked up with the Visible Monday post at Not Dead Yet Style. Go over there to see the other highly visible wimmins.
24 Responses to "What Wendy Wore: Sprouse, Versace and Jason Wu"
I loved the Bowie exhibition! The costumes, the album covers, that letter from Alexander McQueen to Bowie apologising for not having the jacket done. Finished off with the concert clips, I could not leave!
Love your Jason Wu dress.
I also saw the Bowie show back in May. I loved it so much that I'm definitely going to see it again when it comes to Toronto in September.
If I had the resources and space, I would've bought the giant Diamond Dogs art print. I settled for the hard cover catalog.
The Bowie exhibition is fantastic! Loved the penultimate room with the floor-to-ceiling video screens. Just been to a new 80s fashion exhibition at the V&A, which is a lot smaller but pretty cool.
I would love to see the exhibit! and thanks for this: "it takes 10 years to be an overnight success". Rinse, repeat. You look stunning in your SS jacket, and thanks for linking up to Vis Monday.
ugh! my green eyes are ultra-green with jealousy right now. I've been obsessed with all things Bowie for the last 15 years or so.
You look grand, and very much the appreciative, knowledgeable design fan. Thank you so much for the brief tour! I make sure I scope out a local bar or cafe for the huz to lite in while he inevitably waits for me. That way he has a drink waiting for me and has read the rest of whatever periodical he's obsessed with. Good that he's a news junkie … there's always news to keep him occupied.
I especially love the theater look- that jacket is super versatile…great color! 🙂
Great outfits as usual!
I loooove my tee shirt! I wore it this week!
I want to see you on a scooter 🙂
So glad you got to see the exhibit! I got the book back when the exhibit opened & still keep opening it to drool over. Got some cute other things from the gift shop, the poster for the exhibition was a steal & is now over my mantel — it says "David Bowie is here" makes me smile every time I look at it! I do hope they bring it to NY, there have been rumors, if not, I'm heading to Toronto! Love the Sprouse! XXX
Oh boy so do I! And now that I found out he has house about 40 mins upstate from me… save up for bail money! Haha! (Unless of course you decide to be my fellow stalker, then we'll both be calling home saying "um honey, got in a spot of trouble!") XXX
I was a big David Bowie fan in the day! I remember that second outfit. Love YOUR outfits. Those jeans are perfect. I'm thinking I should spring for a nice pair to go with my thrifted tops. Debbie @ ilovemylemonadelife.com

If you are tired of the plain old black PS3 Slim, a new version is coming in a different color and with larger HDDs. The new color will be white and the thing has a white game controller as well.
You might expect that the new white version will land in Japan to start with, and it is. The new white console will come with a 160GB or a 320GB HDD. Those new drive capacities will replace the current 120GB and 250GB versions.
The black console will continue for those not wanting white. The 160GB version will sell for about $340 in Japan with the 320GB version going for $400.

A present for me!
Mom and I have been going to the Mid Atlantic Quilt show together since we started quilting. Sometimes Deb has come with us, sometimes my sister Ann. My aunt and cousin have also come along.
This year I missed the show but Mom told me she bought me a pattern to make a small quilt that holds a photograph thinking I could put a photo of Chesty in it. Tonight she sent me the photo of the quilt she made for me. Isn't it cute? I can't wait until she sends it to me.
By the way, although Mom made clothes for us while we were growing up and taught Deb how to sew, I wasn't interested in sewing AT ALL! My love for photography got me into quilting after seeing a memory quilt made with photographs. I wasn't able to convince Mom to make a quilt for me but somehow, I hadn't even finished my first one and I was able to convince her to try it. That was 7 and 1/2 years ago and both of us have made many, many quilts since then.
Can you pick me out in this photo? How about Deb? I just realized that photo she put in the quilt includes all the same people as the one below (Mom, my two brothers, my three sisters, and me). Click the photo to enlarge it.
String quilts
I love it when other quilters and bloggers are inspired to make string quilts and share their results with me.
Saska, at AklaCookiemaker Quilts worked with her local guild to make 17 quilts that will be donated to a local youth shelter. Make sure you click the photo to see a larger view!
You can see another string quilt at Mamaspark's World – another group effort using the HeartStrings logo designed by Forest Jane.
I got my wish – it's snowing!
I walked to the townhouse for the inspection this afternoon and it snowed just for me! The inspection went great – just some minor things that we probably won't even ask them to address.
After crossing downtown, I walked the last stretch along the river.
You can see the townhouses on the far left (our unit is NOT on the river).
Climbing the stairs on the right – brings me back up to the bridge.
I stopped for a while at the library and had a cup of coffee and read a while (yep, I had my Kindle tucked in my bag).
And finally, arriving back at the apartment.
I HATE to exercise but I LOVE walking. This was a nice 3 mile loop (1.5 miles each way) on a beautiful snowy day.
Keith comes home tomorrow late afternoon!
Inspection time
I'm getting ready to walk over to the townhouse to meet the inspector. I'm going to take a tape measure with me and check out a few measurements. It's just 1.5 miles so it will be a nice walk over and back and I was hoping it would snow but other than a few flakes when I took Chesty to the park earlier – nothing! Hopefully nothing bad will come up on the inspection – cross your fingers!
I finished the quilting on this donated top from Annie this afternoon. I used Mountain Mist Cream Rose for batting but although it's a very nice batting, I won't be buying another roll. It just doesn't have the same loft as the Hobbs 80/20 and it's more expensive. I like the texture and definition that the 80/20 gives to quilting.
I know it's hard to believe but I don't have a fabric that works for the binding of the top I quilted earlier in the week so I decided to use some leftover binding bits and do a scrappy one. There's a lot of orange in that quilt so I'm thinking about cutting a few strips of orange to throw in but I haven't decided for sure.
I loaded a donated HeartStrings top from Annie this afternoon and am quilting it with a pantograph called Improved Clamshell by Kathie James. This one's not for the faint of heart – you need to be able to quilt both smoothly and accurately but it looks good.
As you can see, I'm still avoiding assembling this top that's been on the design wall since January. It's on this week's list – I hope I can make myself sew these blocks together.
You'd think I wouldn't have but so much mess – we've just been here for 14-15 months but this is my supply closet in my longarm room. I'm in and out of here constantly and as you can see it needs sorting in a bad way.
And just because I realized it's been a long time since I've shared a photo of Chesty, here he is catching some afternoon sunshine. Poor thing, he wasn't thrilled about the move the Minneapolis but I hope this one won't be too traumatic.
I'm taking a break from work now. I'm going to curl up with Chesty and read for a while. It's what I do best when I'm stressed!
Although you can't tell in this photo, the sky is blue today with fluffy white clouds. It's still cold but it's beautiful outside.
This is one of the tops I pieced from Chinese Coins sections donated to HeartStrings – it will go to Tennessee for donation. I still have one more Coins top to quilt and more coins to piece into tops.
I plan on loading another quilt this afternoon – so I still have a good chance of getting through my *to do* list for the week.
There's a lot of sorting and packing to do so I expect that to slow me down but I hope to continue to make progress with my quilting over the next few weeks. We'll probably have most of the packing done by the moving company but there's a lot of my quilting stuff that I need to go through and pack myself.
Plus, I'm determined to go through my clothing and donate things I haven't worn in years. I don't know why it's so hard for me to declutter – I brought things here to Minneapolis that I should have donated or disposed of during the move last year. I've gotten a lot of comments and emails from those of you who are going through the *stuff* in your lives and removing excess clutter. If we didn't move so often I'm sure I'd be completely buried. At least I'm forced to sort and donate when we move.
It's official – we're moving
Of course we still have the inspection and the appraisal but I don't expect issues with either. We got the signed Purchase Agreement back today.
I also finished the binding on the Chinese Coins quilt – that's UFO #12 for the year. I'll get a photo of it tomorrow – on the balcony since everyone seems to like those best.
Quilt donations
Do you remember the tornadoes in the south earlier this month? HeartString members have wanted to send quilts to those affected but we make sure we contact an individual or organization directly to ensure the quilts will go to those in need.
Thanks to Sarah and Pam we have contact information to send quilts.
So on today's agenda will be binding the Chinese Coins quilt on my *to do* list so I can send off two quilts this week.
Although our offer has been accepted on the townhouse, we're still waiting for the signed agreement. I'm going nuts because interest rates are climbing as we sit and wait and we can't lock our rate in until we have the contract.

Reuters has reported that Apple maybe be giving the iPhone 4 a new take on life. A source to Reuters has said that a lower-priced version of the iPhone 4 featuring 8GB of internal memory is being produced by a Korean company. Analysts speculate that the production of the 8GB iPhone would boost sales in emerging markets.
"Apple may want to push into the emerging market segment where customers want to switch to low- to mid-end smartphones from high-end feature phones, which usually cost $150-200," said Yuanta Securities analyst Bonnie Chang.
New reports are coming in that the iPhone 5 may launch as early as end-September. A month sooner than the speculated October launch. The new iPhone 5 is said to have a larger screen but look very similar to the current build. Tho to be honest I hope Apple goes in the direction of this "mock-up", apparently made from real design specs and blue-prints of the new device.
The iPhone 5′s two manufacturers have been told to prepare production capacity for up to 45 million units altogether, the source said. The phone will be made by Hon Hai and Pegatron, the person added.

I'm having a hard time trying to wrap my head around this problem.
Imagine a line of length $A+B$ with center $C$, with a circle with $d = A+B$ with center at $C$.
Now imagine drawing a line at $90^{\circ}$ from an arbitrary point, $D$, along the line $A+B$, which intersects the circle at point $E$.
How could one calculate the distance between $D$ and $E$ the point?
This is kinda hard to explain, as English is not my first language, so please refer to picture for an example.
Feel free to help me tag this appropriately.

Yoga is taking the Western world by storm. There are many different styles of yoga classes and it can be difficult to navigate which class is the right fit. Here are a few additional tips and necessary reminders to add from the article published back in December.
- Research the styles. There are many different types of classes: vinyasa flow, power, gentle, restorative, yin, acro, slow flow, hot yoga and on and on. Be sure to do research on what may be the right style. If looking for something more slow and relaxing, look for descriptions like gentle, meditation, restorative, relaxation, yin, or slow flow. If looking for more of a workout, try one of the powerful flow or hot yoga classes, but consider taking the beginner's classes at first to learn some of the movements.
- Dress comfortably. Clothing that is fitted, yet comfortable is key. If it is a more "relaxed" meditative class, looser clothing may be alright, but if in a more flowing or hot class, consider clothing that will stay in place and not rise up (or down) when in downward facing dog or clothing that may have some sweat resistant material if heading to a hot class.
- Bring water, mat and towel. Bring water and a mat to all classes and a towel to any hot classes to help from slipping once the sweat starts dripping. Most studios will offer mat rentals if you do forget.
- Arrive early and find a peaceful space. If it is one's first visit to a studio, arrive 15 minutes early to have time to fill out a waiver and get a spot in the class. Once there, sit in a comfortable seat and "meditate" or come into child's pose, with the knees wide, big toes touching, and hips back on the heels (if they reach), rest the head on the floor and relax.
- Don't force the practice. The first yoga class can be overwhelming, just do what the body will allow that day. It is called yoga practice for a reason. It comes in time. Poses get easier with practice. Many yoga injuries are due to people pushing further in the class than the body is ready to perform. Take time to learn and develop. There is no hurry.
- Keep the practice personal. What others are doing does not matter. Although practicing with other people, the practice is a personal journey. Of course, peeking to see what others are doing when a pose doesn't make sense is normal, but otherwise, try to keep eyes on one's own mat.
- Stay for savasana. Savasana means corpse pose. It allows the body to rest and soak in the practice. It is also a "rebirth" of the practitioner each time one practices yoga. It is considered the most important pose, so stick around for it.
Also, note that soreness is normal. Once the practice becomes familiar, it will seem easier, but really it is the yogi who is getting stronger. Enjoy it.

Avoiding the Worst Tourist Traps in Costa RicaPosted by Sep23, 2013 Comments /span>
Tourist traps appear in any country where you can find tourists, and Costa Rica is no exception. To make sure you don't become the victim of a shady operator, we've compiled a list of the worst tourist traps in Costa Rica. There are hundreds of them, but these are the ones we've seen reported on a regular basis.
Booking with a Travel Agent
This trap can get you even before you've got on the plane. It might be more convenient to book with a travel agent, but they always increase the price of the rooms by a significant amount as part of their cut. Go to the website of the hotel you want to stay in and book the rooms directly from them. This way you won't be at any risk of any huge mark ups. Shaka is no exception, contact us first for the best rates available!
Traffic Violations
Driving offenses are taken very seriously in Costa Rica. The police are always waiting to zoom out of hiding and catch you speeding over the limit. If you think you can get away with it, you can't. The tourist trap here is the cop will say he can take care of the ticket for you if you give him the money for it now.
Never do this. You must visit any outlet of the Bank of Costa Rica to pay the ticket. And you can't leave the country without paying the ticket now. They're cracking down on this.
The Monteverde Cloud Forest
This location is the home of the Sky Bridge and Canopy Tour. Yet what they fail to mention is this is a cloud forest. A cloud forest means the clouds are literally touching the tops of the trees. If you walk on these bridges or take a canopy tour you won't see anything on a cloudy day. You'll just see a vast sheet of white with some occasional signs of leaves and branches. They'll still happily take your money, though!
The Appearing Items
At a restaurant you'll eventually receive your bill and you'll have the total amount you spent on it. On occasion, you might notice an item which you never ordered. It came completely out of nowhere. This is an attempt at a scam. The waiter will add an extra item to the bill and pocket the extra amount he's added. This is one of the most common tourist traps in Costa Rica.
You should carefully scrutinise the bill and raise an issue with it if there's something you never ordered. Most restaurants will back down straight away because they know what they're doing. If they don't, threaten to call the police. Make sure you follow through on this threat. If you've done no wrong they'll sort it out and deal with the restaurant owner in private.

"Suddenly Royal" is the first book in what will be a series of three books about the royals of Lilaria, a small European country where the royalty is held in great esteem and the people are happy.
Samantha, a graduate student in wildlife biology, especially birds, learns that she is descended from royalty in Lilaria and is, in fact, a Duchess. She has lands, the title and lots of money being held in trust for her family. Since her mother died years before, her only family is her stepfather. He is undergoing treatment for prostate cancer and they struggle for money.
When Lilarian royalty sweep into Samantha's life, they also bring Prince Alex, who from the very first glance has Samantha smitten. The feelings go both ways and there isn't much suspense about where that relationship will go.
While there isn't much mystery or angst in the relationship between Samantha, soon to be the Duchess of Rousseau, and Prince Alex, there are lots of details that are fun to read, about how the royals live and how they have fun.
Samantha and Alex are a bit on the staid side, being interested in raptors and their protection. Although Samantha has some doubts about being princess-material, she acquiesces fairly quickly.
It's not a deep read, it's not great literature, it's just entertaining escapism for an afternoon. It's Meg Cabot's "Princess Diaries" for adults.
Please note: This review is based on the final paperback book provided by the publisher, Avon, for review purposes.

Sigiled Starfish is perhaps the most underrated card we've seen so far from Wizards of the Coast's upcoming expert "Magic: The Gathering" expansion set "Journey Into Nyx." It's much more powerful (and cuter) than it looks, and merits your attention.
Sigiled Starfish - 1U
Creature - Starfish (Common)
Tap: Scry 1. (Look at the top card of your library. You may put that card on the bottom of your library.)
Kruphix hid the most dire prophecies about humankind where humans would never find them and tritons wouldn't care to read them.
Augur of Bolas saw significant tournament play when it was legal in Standard, and Omenspeaker currently makes appearances in decks. Sigiled Starfish doesn't have an "enters the battlefield" ability that makes it immediately relevant, however over the course of a long game the incremental scrying you'll get each turn will quickly add up. It's a fair trade for the lack of one power in our opinion, as you'll be able to have a greater impact in the long run while still providing a speed bump for your opponent's small threats. Sigiled Starfish might not see competitive play, however it's a powerful common worth adding to any casual deck.
It's interesting to note that Sigiled Starfish is only the second Starfish creature in the game. The first was Spiny Starfish from "Alliances," which is one of those really odd and unique cards from the game's early days. Another is interesting one is Wall of Kelp from "Homelands."
How will you use Sigiled Starfish?
