I wore this dress for my March 2007 wedding in New England. It's perfect for a fall or winter wedding! This dress is a creamy off-white color and the beadwork at the top of the bodice is stunning! I added the sheer mesh sleeves, which could easily be removed to return the dress to strapless. Dress is a 12, but my street size is a 6/8. I'm short (5'2) with big boobs, hence the bigger size, and we did alterations

It's working as expected (Ubuntu 12.04 x64) and I have no problems. However I'm slightly worried about any possible damage to the hardware, I know it's far fetched but it's an unofficial workaround, does anyone know of any risks that come with this software, any criticism from hardware manufacturers?
Although it is unofficial, Nvidia knows of the Bumblebee project.
A quote from their PR response (I do not fully agree with it, but that is not relevant here):
If Bumblebee was dangerous, there should be a lot complaints from users. However, this is not the case so you may assume that Bumblebee is safe.
Currently, Bumblebee consists of two parts:
The first feature is as safe as the nvidia driver. Aside from an extra (software) layer, the process is equal to systems with a nvidia card as primary card.
The second feature uses a custom kernel module, bbswitch, which interacts with the ACPI subsystem. When using bbswitch in combination with Bumblebee, the card is disabled on boot and enabled on shutdown. As an author of the
When using bbswitch without Bumblebee, one must take care of enabling the card on shutdown for some machines. This can be done by sending the OFF command to the bbswitch module. If this is not done, some machines could make the nvidia card disappear on the next boot. On some machines, this can be undone by pulling the power off the machine. Others need a BIOS reset. Again, this only occurs when using bbswitch without Bumblebee or when using bbswitch only without special measures. A bugreport for this issue can be found on https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/224
The same issues from laptops with a nvidia card as primary video card may apply. This means that laptops with a bad thermal design may overheat when putting the nvidia card under heavy load. This is not an issue limited to Bumblebee though.
I'm using it myself and never had any problems. I know some other people who use it and neither of them had problems.
Sadly it is never save to say that a software can't harm your system. There can always be a hidden bug that does something terribly wrong. That's why even a developer of a software can't tell you that it is certainly safe to use.
My personal assessment is that damage to your hardware is very very unlikely because all the hardware critical stuff (e.g. power management) is, to my understanding, done by the official nvidia driver. I guess the worst case that could happen is that your X-server config gets broken. But there is no downside of bumblebee I have heard of so far.
This might not be a definite answer but I'm posting it anyway because like I said I think a definite one is not possible.

Now that corporations are people and money is speech, and Superpacs funded by anonymous donors dominate campaign spending, it's only a matter of time, I figure, before we finally can do away with the annoyance of having actual people run for office. In a perfect world, the corporate sponsors will have their lobbyists write and pass all legislation, and the presidency will become a coalition of like-minded corporate interests. No need for a human figurehead anymore.
4 thoughts on "The Next President"
How will you be able to tell it has happened? Maybe it has already happened.
As Iron Knee suggests, we're probably already there. I disagree with the idea that we can do without our figureheads. Our current system of government depends on eighty percent of the population not understanding what's going on. As a people, we need the mindless irrationality of our figureheads around which to rally our incoherent hatreds and hypocrisies.
When will people realize what it really happening; that the Occupiers are not wrong. Our country is run by Corporations, not the People!
If Democrats want a sure winner in 2012, they should run Hillary and we would have two good minds in the White House. She would have my vote.

The May 8 episode of 'Grey's Anatomy' saw Cristina preparing to leave Grey Sloane Memorial by interviewing candidates for the head of the cardio unit; Alex poaching patients, April and Callie dealing with baby issues; Bailey facing the repercussions from her actions and Derek getting a job offer too good to be true.
On Thursday Hollywood Life recapped the show and focused on that moment when Owen begged Cristina not to leave him behind. It was the kind of heart-wrenching scene we've come to expect from "Grey's Anatomy" and "Everything I Try to Do, Nothing Seems to Turn Out Right" delivered.
Derek is out of town on business and Meredith is enjoying Amelia-made waffles as they Skype. She learns he won't be back in time to do a surgery they had scheduled and she will get to do it with Amelia.
Brayden is well enough to go home which means Bailey will finally have to reveal that she used the stem cell treatment the boy's parents had rejected. She has to tell the board first and finds Cristina. Cristina is shocked at first but after learning the treatment worked, gives Bailey a high five. Cristina doesn't seem too concerned about a lawsuit or anything else so Bailey and Stephanie go to find the parents.
They don't take the news well. Bailey gets an earful from Owen, who contacts the hospital's legal team. They determine Stephanie was involved by virtue of the fact she knew about it at some point and didn't report it.
April and Jackson leave the ultrasound room, now obviously joyous about their bundle of joy. They are struggling to keep it a secret until the end of the third trimester – two more weeks. They run into Callie going into the OB, presumably to get her fertility and in vitro procedures started. Awkward.
Alex turns up at the hospital with theft on his mind. First, he steals Shane's tablet and next it's a former patient. He also coerces Shane into helping him and assisting with the surgery against his will by guilting him over his freak out and causing the death of Alex's dad.
Owen cuts into one of Cristina's interviews to discuss what exactly she said to Bailey about the stem cell patient. He knows she is leaving and seems rather unmoved surprisingly.
Jackson, as a member of the board, steps in to talk with Brayden's parents. During the course of their conversation, they ask if he is a parent and after considering the question, admits he and his wife are expecting. Stephanie is there to hear the bittersweet news.
The interns, all still worried about whose head is on the chopping block, decide to go out in their efforts to impress. Jo is really sucking up to both Callie and April as they work on a shared case. Callie is not excited about the new "sissy girl" approach Jo is taking.
Leah and Richard have a patient who is a cancer survivor but the treatment left her with major bowel problems. She has trouble containing her bowel movements and is constantly expelling gas, yes, farting.
Arizona discovers what Karev had done and calls him out on it. He acts like it's nothing. When Shane walks in, ready to go into the OR, Arizona is really upset because the residents are working behind her back and helping Alex. She sends Shane away and assists Alex instead. She reminds Alex that she is the one who trained him and she taught him to handle himself better than this.
Earlier Owen told Cristina that none of the candidates would ever be her and now that she's interviewing them, she can't find one she likes. Meredith thinks Owen arranged candidates Cristina would hate so she wouldn't leave and would take the job herself.
The second set of test results confirm that Brayden is indeed recovered. They are not any happier about the situation and now, in addition to a law suit, they are talking about pressing assault and battery charges against Bailey.
During their shared surgery, Amelia tells Meredith she never wants to leave Grey Sloane. The teary-eyed phone calls to her fiancé back home are because she doesn't want to go back there in spite of loving him. Meredith likes the idea of her sticking around.
Leah learns of a magnetic implant used to treat reflux and thinks it could work for her cancer patient with the bowel issues. She suggests it to Webber who thinks it's brilliant. The patient is delighted but not as much as her boyfriend who has reached the end of his rope in dealing with it all.
April refuses to put on a protective apron so Callie can take x-rays of their patient. Jo finally snaps at her. April is forced to say to Callie that she 'can't be in the room when the x-rays are taken' which is code for 'I'm pregnant, you moron.' Callie gets it and April finishes what she needs to and leaves. Jo is baffled and just hoping she doesn't get fired.
Brayden gets to leave his bubble room and Bailey gets to watch from down the hall. It is a touching moment, thanks to Bailey's daring. Owen tries to take up for Bailey and convince the parents not to proceed with any legal actions. Stephanie comes forwards and says it was she who made the error. She forgot to tell Bailey that the parents had withdrawn their consent and that Bailey had been covering for her.
Brayden's dad is still buying it and wants revenge but the boy's mom reminds him the child is alive and they can finally go home. She gets him to drop it with Stephanie receiving a week's suspension.
Callie and April run into each other later and Callie asks about the pregnancy. April shows her the sonogram picture and Callie bursts in to tears. Because of the injuries she received in her car accident, Callie is no longer able to carry a baby. She is devastated.
Alex seeks out Arizona to explain his patient poaching tactics. He's in a jam at the practice he joined. He isn't bringing in a lot of new patients and that makes him a nobody. He doesn't want to lose the job. Arizona reminds him that all he had to do was ask her for help. She is still mad at him but seems to understand.
After the surgery, Webber sits Leah down for a talk. It seems he doesn't feel she's a good fit as a surgeon and he's letting her go from the program. Leah is the one being fired. He thinks she'll be a great doctor and can hook her up with a friend who owes him a favor so she can work in a research facility.
In the locker room, the rest of the residents are all still worried that it will be them who get fired. Leah doesn't say anything but reassures them they will be fine. She promises to meet them at the bar. After they've all gone, she cleans out her locker alone. Sad.
Callie tells Arizona the news and Arizona offers to have the baby. Knowing that Arizona didn't want to have it in the first place and that the couple is just now getting back to a good place, Callie decides they are too fragile to go ahead. If it didn't work out, it could tear them apart. They decide to be content with their lives as they are.
Owen comes to see Cristina and learns she didn't like any of the candidates. One look and Cristina knows Owen is going to offer her the job and ask her to stay. She asks him not to. He says he's been thinking about it all week but knows no good would come of it. Then, the tears fill his eyes and he asks her, begs her not to leave him in the cold. He takes her in his arms and they kiss as our hearts broke.
Derek gets home with a bottle of champagne. Meredith tells him Amelia is going to stay and that will settle all their babysitting problems. He has news too. He's been offered the best job ever but it's in Washington D.C,. reporting directly to the president. There's a job waiting for Meredith too. Cristina and Alex are taking the next step and he feels it is time for them to take theirs too. The look on Meredith's face says 'no way in hell' but she remains quiet.
Next week is the season 10 finale of "Grey's Anatomy." It also brings Cristian's time on the show to an end. Are you ready to say goodbye?

There's one big word that applies to interviews; it's one that can help you land a job, or at least keep you from torpedoing your chances of landing one. And what is that one big word? Sssshhhhh.
Really? Yes. At the risk of annoying my HR colleagues, I'm going to let you in on a little interviewing secret: Interviewers will sometimes purposely sit silently and look at you after you answer a question. Why? Well, the answer is two-fold. First, because the person being interviewed will likely think the silence means they need to provide more of an answer than they did. And second, silences are awkward – and as the interviewee has already ceded home field advantage to the interviewer, it's the interviewee who most often feels the need to fill that silence.
And what comes out? Things that are often times best left unsaid: Blaming others for work problems in a way that looks defensive. Offering an unfavorable and unfiltered opinion of a former employer or boss. Giving personal details that an interviewer cannot legally ask about, but is under no obligation to shut you up over if you go there on your own. Little good can come of any of this, but a lot of bad can. It's best not to go there.
OK, we've covered the "sssshhhhh" part. But what should you do if this technique is used on you? Well, you could just sit there and look politely back at the interviewer. Unfortunately, this would tend to intensify the awkward feeling of the silence; since you're the one being judged, that may not be such a good idea. Too much silence is not golden; the better approach would be to use this opportunity to ask a question of your own. If you can relate it to the question you just answered, so much the better.
If none of the questions you had prepared for the interview seem to fit (you had prepared some questions, hadn't you?), it's time to improvise. Being able to think on your feet is often a prized attribute by employers - so show you can do that. Come up with a reasonable question that ties in to the one you just answered. For example, if you were just asked how you would handle a specific problem, you could ask "has this been an issue here?"
The trick is, don't be aggressive with the question. Don't jump in too soon. Give the silence a couple of beats and then ask away, making it seem like a natural follow up within the conversation. You might get a valuable answer, you might not. You might gain respect as a quick thinker, you might not. But unless the interviewer is none too bright, after one or two of these situations, they'll stop trying to put you on the spot.
And by doing this, you'll have quietly gained some measure of control over your interviewing fate.

They say great taste is timeless - but then again, so is bad taste. Despite the time we spend looking for stuff to make you salivate with desire, occasionally we stumble upon things that elicit a very different oral reaction. Sometimes we shudder and move on, and then there are times that the object in question is just too awful to keep to ourselves. Get out the mouthwash and breath mints - this one is enough to make you throw up in your mouth.
A Bear Lamp ($149) - really. Who thought this was a going to be a good idea? Guillotine a beloved and timeless children's toy, and replace its head with a lightbulb. This idea reeks strongly of a brain storming session fueled by bad acid and Tab Energy Drink. What kind of kid would want this in their room? That's right - absolutely no kind of kid. Their sweet dreams would be ruined by myriad bear-lamp chimeras chasing them around, hungry to gobble them up with their freaky filament mouths. Creepy.
I have a nephew who is almost 1 year old now. And, I have to say although this is a cute idea, I would prefer if the bear still had his/her head :) Check out my fashion blog -- www.celebflair.com

The Best Group Ever?
Thursday, October 11, 2012
I couldn't believe how nervous I was about this meeting. Don't ask me why, I just was. In fact, I was nervous eating all day (didn't over do it at all and was well within my calorie range for the day), got a lot of work done and even made sure I had my directions to the hospital printed out. Since the class was getting out around 8pm, I wouldn't be able to run but I could definitely get on that fitness bike so I came to group in my workout clothes.
Overall, the group was very warm, welcoming and supportive. I'm the youngest in the class with everyone being late 40s and over. They wanted to know all about me, all about my struggle and even wanted to come to my next show.
Although I was pretty nervous, and still am about going to group every week I am going to continue to go. My hesitation is mostly because I feel like being in a group setting is a double edged sword. On one hand I feel like it will help me quite a bit but on the other, some of my fellow group members are experiencing grief so fresh, it's terrible to watch. My grief isn't "fresh", it's old and old grief takes a toll. This isn't to discount their "fresh" grief, but it might not help me if I've been dealing with grief for over 7 years. Make sense? Some of those people have lost people in the year or so, and their pain is so evident. Can I handle watching them suffer each week? Will my story help them? Only time will tell.
After the group was done, I chatted with one of the women who recently lost a husband and who implored me to continue coming. Our group meeting was kind of intense because of another member's personal problems, and I guess she didn't want me to be too scared to come to the group. I told her not to worry and that I'd definitely be back. She told me, "This is a really great group, I promise!"
Later on, I did my cardio
and pilates
to combat all of the sadness I was feeling. It was really overwhelming, but in a positive way I think.
"This is the best group ever!" says one of my grief group members.
I think this is going to be a good thing.

Yeah, I see what you mean with the double edged sword. But sometimes listening to the problems of other people makes us see ours in their true dimensions.
It happens to me all the time. I'm nervous about the university and I hear that a person is sick. And immediately I come into my senses and set the right priorities about what is more important: health or a stupid course exam?
I can't really understand how it feels to lose someone so close to your heart, I am really lucky since this hasn't happened yet.
I would continue going and see how things are... You can be there as long as it helps you...

Congratulations on finding a group that is dealing with grief. And it may be a great thing for you to witness the freshness of the others grief, perhaps it will bring you back to a place you rushed through and didn't say the good byes properly. The stages of grief are sequential, but sometimes they back up and you have to go through a step over and over again to really feel at peace with a loss that is deviating. I think you wisdom and "oldness" may just be exactly what some of them need to see, that there is survival and life goes on. Hand in there and let the feeling be acknowledged and not shelved.

You will always find one or a few that overwhelm a group like that. It's part of the process for them I think.
Good for you for going and for planning to continue. It is so worth it.

Click here to stream the game on-line
Date: Saturday, Jan. 12, 2013
Time: 5 p.m. PST
Location: Gill Coliseum (10,400), Corvallis, Ore.
Radio: IMG College/Wildcat Radio Network (Brian Jeffries/Matt Muehlebach)
TV: ESPNU (Dave Flemming/Sean Farnham)
GAME DATA: Fourth-ranked Arizona (14-1, 2-1 Pac-12) looks to get back on the winning side of the ledger Saturday at Oregon State (10-5, 0-2 Pac-12) in Gill Coliseum ... It's an interesting test for the Wildcats, as the team attempts to rebound from its first loss of the season ... UA is 3-2 in its last five trips to Corvallis, but hasn't won in Gill Coliseum since 2009 ... Arizona averages 75.8 ppg on the season, but just 71.0 ppg in its last five outings.
THE RANKINGS: UA is ranked fourth in the Associated Press poll and third in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches' poll. The Cats' No. 3 ranking is the highest for the program under Sean Miller, and Arizona now has been ranked in the nation's top five for four consecutive weeks.
ARIZONA HEAD COACH Sean Miller . . . is in his fourth season at the University of Arizona and his ninth overall as a college head coach with a record of 203-83 (.710) and 83-36 (.697) at Arizona ... In his eight-plus year career, Miller's teams have won 20 games six times and captured five regular-season or postseason tournament titles ... He guided UA to 30 wins and the 2011 Pac-10 regular-season championship in a run that culminated in the NCAA Tournament's Elite Eight, earning Pac-10 Conference and NABC District 20 Coach-of-the-Year honors ... Miller came to Tucson after five successful years at Xavier University, where he amassed four 20-win seasons and four NCAA Tournament appearances ... His clubs won the three Atlantic 10 regular season championships (2007-09) and the 2006 Atlantic 10 postseason tournament title ... During his time at XU, the Musketeers won better than 71 percent of their conference games, including an .813 winning percentage (39-9) in his last three seasons ... Miller has made 16 trips to the postseason in his 19 seasons as a head, assistant or associate head coach (9 NCAA/7 NIT) and has an 9-5 (.643) NCAA Tournament record as a head coach ... He took two Xavier teams to the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16 (2008, 2009) with his 2008 club advancing to the West Regional final ... His 2007-08 team set a Xavier record for wins in a season with 30, helping him claim Atlantic 10 and NABC District 10 Coach-of-the-Year honors ... Since becoming a head coach, all 23 players to complete eligibility under Miller have earned their degrees ... Miller has recruited classes ranked in the top-10 nationally in each of the last two seasons ... He is assisted by James Whitford, Emanuel Richardson and Joe Pasternack ... Miller is 4-3 vs. Oregon State as a head coach.
LAST TIME OUT: Arizona scored the game's first 11 points and not else went well from there as Oregon handed the Cats its first loss of the season, 70-66, Thursday in Eugene. The Ducks built as much as a 14-point lead before the Cats trimmed the deficit to as little as three points with 52 seconds to go, but UA could get no closer. Oregon shot 57 percent from the field in the first half converted 14 Arizona turnovers into 21 points of its own. Mark Lyons led all scorers with 21 points, but the Oregon bench topped Arizona, 17-6.
SCOUTING OREGON STATE: The Beavers enter today's game with a 10-5 record (0-2 Pac-12) following Thursday's 72-62 loss to Arizona State. On the season, Oregon State averages 76.1 points per game, shoots 46.2 percent from the floor (409-of-885), 37.9 percent (88-of-232) from three-point range and 65.5 percent (235-of-359) from the line. Opponents average 68.7 points, are outrebounded by 2.9 per game and shoot 41.5 percent from the floor (388-of-935). Individually, six Oregon State players average in double figures, led by Roberto Nelson's 15.5 ppg figure. Eric Moreland leads the Beavers in rebounding at 11.1 rebounds per game.
THE SERIES: Today's game is the 76th meeting of the two schools with Arizona holding a 55-20 series advantage. UA has won 22 of the last 27 meetings in the series, which dates back to Jan. 28, 1975, including the last, a 72-61 win on March 9, 2012 in Los Angeles in the Pac-12 Tournament semifinals. All-time, Arizona is 30-6 in series games played in Tucson, 20-14 in Corvallis, and 5-0 in neutral-site games. For more series information, please see page 48 in the UA media guide.
LAST MEETING: Arizona 72, Oregon State 61, March 9, 2012: Trailing 34-27 at halftime, Arizona opened the second half on a 20-3 run over 8:04 to take control of the game. All five Wildcats contributed in the run, as the quintet hit 7-of-10 shots from the floor, while limiting OSU to 1-of-15 shooting during the run. UA shot 61 percent from the field after the break, held the Beavers to 27 percent shooting, and outrebounded OSU 21-16 in the second period. Jesse Perry posted his second consecutive double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds, while Kyle Fogg added a game-high 22 points and eight boards. Nick Johnson chipped in with nine points and five assists.
CHANGE IT UP: Kevin Parrom earned a start Thursday, marking the third different starting lineup the Wildcats have used this season. For Parrom, it was his 14th career start and his first since Dec. 7, 2011, at Florida.
OFF THE RAILS: In the first 3:06 of Thursday's loss, Arizona made four of its first six shots and jumped out to an 11-0 lead. In fact, Arizona was good in the first five minutes of the second half as well, connecting on 6-of-7 attempts from the floor. Over the first five minutes of each half, Arizona was a combined 11-of-15 (.733) from the field. However, over the last 15 minutes of each half, the Cats were just 14-of-42 (.333) from the field.
A BIT TOO LATE: Oregon connected on 56.7 percent (17-of-30) of its field goal attempts in the first half Thursday, which was the highest opponent percentage in the opening period this season. The Cats did rebound and limit Oregon to 36.4 percent shooting (8-of-22) in the second half, but the double-figure lead amassed early by the Ducks proved to be too much to overcome. Oregon's 41 points in the first half were an opponent high in the first half this season.
ON THE GLASS: The Wildcats did manage to outrebound Oregon, 32-28, which marked the 12th time this season that the Wildcats pulled down more rebounds than the opposition. Included in that number was a 9-6 UA advantage in offensive rebounds. Ten times this season, Arizona has enjoyed a positive margin on the offensive boards. Overall, Arizona posts a +9.9 rebound margin through 15 games and a +8.7 advantage in Pac-12 play.
A RARITY: Arizona's 11-0 burst to open Thursday's game eventually enabled the Wildcats to hold a 22-20 lead at the 10-minute mark of the first half. It marked the first time in 11 occurrences this season that UA lost a game in which it led 10 minutes in. Further, UA is 53-6 (.898) when leading at the 10-minute mark of the first half.
A NEED FOR IMPROVEMENT: The Wildcats need to get better at defending the perimeter, as the team has surrendered 24 treys in Pac-12 play and a .500 (24-of-48) percentage. That's an alarmingly high number for a program that ranked first nationally (.285) in 2011-12 and fifth in 2010-11. This season, Arizona is surrendering .376 shooting (105-of-279) from three-point range, while allowing a .289 percentage (345-of-1,194) in the two previous seasons combined. Opponents have made seven or more treys in a game six times this season.
TIGHTENING UP: As was the case in the previous three games, Arizona found itself trailing and needed to fight its way back. UA trailed by 14 points with 19:40 to go in the second half and trailed by 12 with 3:10 remaining. From that point, Arizona outscored Oregon, 11-3, and actually had the ball with 18 seconds to go with a chance to tie. The Wildcats are now 3-1 this season in games decided by five points or less.
20-POINT GAMES: Arizona's Mark Lyons posted a game-high 21 points Thursday to notch his third 20-point game of the season. En route to his 21 points, Lyons equaled season highs with seven field goals and three treys. He also set a UA season high with 16 points in the second half. Additionally, it was the sixth 20-point game this year by a Wildcat (Lyons 3, Ashley 1, Hill 1, Johnson 1). Additionally, both Solomon Hill (16) and Nick Johnson (12) finished in double figures at Oregon. For Hill, it was the 60th career game with 10 or more points, while Johnson collected his 25th.
AN ALL-AROUND EFFORT: Sophomore Nick Johnson managed to positively affect the game in a number of different ways Thursday, as he tallied 12 points, six rebounds, two assists, two blocked shots and three steals. The 6-foot-3 guard from Gilbert, Ariz., connected on 5-of-9 field goals, pulled down a season-high six rebounds and blocked a season-best two shots. On the season, Johnson averages 12.2 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, while he leads the Wildcats with 35 steals and ranks second on the team with 42 assists. Johnson has collected three or more steals in a game eight times this season.
WHEN IT COUNTS: Mark Lyons has been very good for the Wildcats, especially when it comes to late-game situations. In the last five minutes of regulation, the 6-foot-1 senior guard from Schenectady, N.Y., connects on 57.1 percent (12-of-21) of his field goal attempts and has made all 17 free throws. Through 15 games, Lyons is averaging a team-leading 14.5 points per game to go with a .891 (57-of-64) percentage from the free throw line.
BOUNCING BACK: In the Sean Miller era, Arizona has been pretty good when it comes to salvaging a sweep in these Pac-12 weekends. Since 2009-10, the Wildcats have a 6-2 record in games immediately following a Thursday loss in conference action. UA as 4-1 in such games in 2009-10, 1-1 in 2010-11, and 1-0 in 2011-12.
LEADING THE WAY: UA's four-year seniors – Solomon Hill and Kevin Parrom – have been on the mark in conference play, as the duo has connected on 58.3 percent (28-of-48) of its field goal attempts. In the three conference games, Hill is shooting a team-best 59.3 percent (16-of-27) from the field, while Parrom checks in at 57.1 percent (12-of-21). Thursday at Oregon, Hill and Parrom shot a combined 9-of-18 from the floor.
ON THE GLASS: Kaleb Tarczewski was one of three Wildcats to grab six rebounds vs. Oregon. It marks the eighth time this season that the 7-foot freshman center has grabbed five or more rebounds in a game. On the year, Tarczewski is averaging a team-best 5.9 rebounds per game average.
IT'S KEEPS YOU RUNNING: Arizona has displayed a knack for timely runs so far this season. Thursday against Colorado, the Wildcats used a 27-8 run to close the second half and through overtime to turn a 10-point deficit into a nine-point win. Here is a look at UA's notable runs to date:
26-3 run over 8:41 (2nd) at Texas Tech, Dec. 1
27-8 run over 6:53 (2nd+ot) vs. Colorado, Jan. 3
21-4 run over 9:07 (2nd) vs. Long Beach State, Nov. 19
23-6 run over 7:55 (1st) vs. Long Beach State, Nov. 19
22-7 run over 8:56 (2nd) at Clemson, Dec. 8
13-0 run over 4:26 (2nd) vs. UTEP, Nov. 15
14-2 run over 4:10 (2nd) vs. Northern Arizona, Nov. 28
22-10 run over 9:27 (1st) vs. Charleston Southern, Nov. 11
11-0 run over 3:13 (2nd) vs. Oral Roberts, Dec. 18
14-4 run over 5:48 (2nd) vs. Southern Miss, Dec. 4
RECRUITING CLASS: The Arizona coaching staff signed two student-athletes to National-Letters-of-Intent as part of the November early signing period. Rondae Jefferson (F, 6-7, 215) from Chester, Pa., who preps at Chester H.S.; and Elliott Pitts (G, 6-5, 180) from Dublin, Calif., who preps at De La Salle H.S.; make up a class that is ranked No. 18 nationally by espn.com.
UP NEXT: Following today's game, Arizona next will be in action on Saturday, Jan. 19, when the squad plays at Arizona State. Tip-off is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. MST and can be seen on FOX Sports Net.

I would like to watch a baseball game on TV, but listen to the radio broadcast. The TV is about 10 seconds behind the radio, though.
Does anyone know a way to delay the input from my radio by 10 seconds and output it again to the speakers? I can do this on Mac OS X or Linux (or even Windows). I have Audio Hijack Pro, but there is no such effect.
thanks for any ideas!

Everyone who has watched Star Trek knows what a replicator is. In this video you can see a report from National Geographic about the Z Corp company and how they can replicate objects with laser scanners and 3D printers.
Category Archives: 3D scanning
Use MeshLab and netfabb to repair 3D-models
Maybe you have just scanned an object and want to print it on a 3D printer. The model has to be water-tight and most 3D programs don't have "the right tools" to heal 3D meshes easily. In this tutorial from Shapeways you can learn how to use the open source 3D software Meshlab and the German 3D program netfabb to fix a mesh before 3D printing it. Both software packages work perfectly under Linux OS.
About 3D scanning with structured light
By projecting a light pattern onto a physical object's surface and analysing the resulting image it is possible to create a 3D structure of the target object. Tools for calculating structure light scanning is what the project Structured Light is developing under the new BSD License. You can check out the project's homepage and download some stuff from there.

Vintage Watches
Everything You Need To Know About Buying A Vintage Watch
It's expected for a watch to show signs of aging or even have aftermarket parts, but scammers take advantage of this by crafting false parts and pawning off poor quality as aging.
I am writing this article from personal experience. Our company has purchased thousands of watches since inception, so sometimes I cannot refrain from purchasing a watch for personal use. Going against the advice of a farmer friend of mine who once told me, "Never name your cows," I cant help but fall in love with certain watches that come in. My weakness is a great watch from the late '50s to the early '70s, often considered the golden age for those who love vintage.
With the exception of some highly collectible examples (like the Patek Philippe 2526 below), the price point of a luxury vintage watch is typically more accessible than that of its modern counterpart. With a bit of luck and patience, you can score a vintage OMEGA Seamaster for under $1,000 or a vintage Rolex Datejust for under $2,000. Vintage watches come in a variety of styles, too, so there's a watch for everyone.
The Coveted Patek Philippe 2526 — In Pristine Condition
Before jumping headfirst into the lively vintage watch market, you need to make sure what you're buying is authentic. This is easier said than done. In fact, just last week, I was perusing Scott's Antique Market in Atlanta and came across a Jaeger Futurematic. It was a great watch — and at $600 I was amazed at the price and almost purchased it on the spot. The dial was beautiful, and the exterior parts were all original. But I popped open the case and it was an absolute mess inside. It seriously looked as though the movement itself participated in a Tough Mudder event the weekend before.
As the saying goes, it's what's on the inside that counts. It's expected for a watch to show signs of aging or even have aftermarket parts, but scammers take advantage of this by crafting false parts and pawning off poor quality as aging. The easiest way to avoid scammers is to buy from a reputable vintage watch seller, like us at Crown & Caliber (biased? absolutely). If you want to buy an authentic vintage watch, you need to know the seller is authentic, too.
While vintage watch prices can be a major draw, the market is not without its pitfalls. As you might expect, the vintage watch market suffers from inconsistent quality. When you seek out a vintage watch, be realistic about condition: You probably won't come across a watch in "like new, old stock" condition, but you should still expect a watch that runs well and looks sharp. When shopping around, there are a number of factors to consider. I have tried to dumb it down to four things. And after attempting to force an acronym, I have settled on COPS (patent pending): Condition, Originality, Patina and Seller Reputation. Don't laugh. I'm not a journalist.
1. Condition: The condition of the watch's aesthetics is an important factor, but the condition of the movement takes precedence; a beautiful watch is useless if it can't keep time. The easiest way to make sure your watch runs well is to purchase from — you guessed it — a reputable seller. Be wary of aftermarket bracelets (metal Speidel bands are a common sight on vintage watches and a major culprit of abrasion between a watch's lugs). If the band is an original metal band, expect some sagging and drooping, especially in jubilee-style bracelets. Keep in mind that you can obtain a great quality leather band for cheap (Hodinkee straps are my favorite), so never let a leather strap influence your vintage watch purchase.

Many parents, teachers, and students in Madison City are asking, "What do we do now?"
After a deadly shooting between two students at Discovery Middle School on Friday, February, 2010, life must go on in the now-not-so-sleepy town of Madison, Alabama.
A community meeting was held in the auditorium of Bob Jones High School today at 2:00 P.M. Superintendent of Madison City Schools Dee Fowler, Mayor Paul Finley, and Madison Police Chief Larry Muncey were in attendance. Also in attendance was Jim Stewart, principal of Lincoln County High School in Tennessee. Stewart went through a similar incident at his school in 1998. An edited version of the meeting can be viewed here on YouTube.
The Madison City Schools website has posted a helpful link on their website entitled "Community Resources Related to the Discovery Middle School Incident." The link includes helpful tips for parents as well as frequently asked questions.
Principal of Discovery Middle, Sharon Willis, sent an email to the parents enrolled in the school's email listserv. Mrs. Willis encourages parents by letting them know there will be extra counselors on staff tomorrow, Monday, February 8, to be of aid for students, faculty, and staff. Mrs. Willis is going to meet with all the students tomorrow, beginning with the 9th graders. She reminds the Discovery family that she will encourage students "to live with no regrets - to 1) live life with passion, 2) love completely, 3) forgive freely, and 4) finish strong!"
Please refer to the City of Madison official website for more information.

BIOPHYSICS SEMINAR Featuring F. Peter Guengerich "Cytochrome P450 Steroid Oxidations: Answers and More Questions"
"Cytochrome P450 Steroid Oxidations: Answers and More Questions"
Cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes are involved in the metabolism of drugs, carcinogens, and steroids. In the case of the steroid oxidations, P450 deficiencies can result in endocrine maladies. Our laboratory has been interested in several human P450s involved in sterol metabolism, including issues related to diseases, and a number of chemical, biochemical, and biophysical approaches have been applied to studying human P450s 7A1, 17A1, 19A1, and 21A2. P450 17A1 is of particular interest because of its two-step conversion of 21- to 19-carbon steroids, in light of other work on processive vs. distributive multi-step P450 reactions. Structural studies with two fish P450s, 17A1 and 17A2, may be instructive regarding the multi-step reaction. The catalytic mechanism of P450 19A1, the steroid aromatase, is also under investigation.

On Saturday, July 12, The Everett Herald reported that 110 cats and kittens were seized from a travel trailer east of Everett, Washington. Investigators stated that the cats were living in deplorable conditions and that all of the animals were later euthanized.
According to Snohomish County licensing and animal control services manager Vicki Lubrin, the 32-foot trailer, which was parked on Ebey Island in the 4600 block of 43rd Avenue S.E., was searched on Friday. Animal control officers had earlier obtained a judge's permission to take the cats into custody for medical evaluations.
"After blood tests confirmed [the animals] were diseased and contagious, they were humanely euthanized to relieve their pain and suffering," Lubrin stated in a news release.
"Even the most experienced officers on site were astounded by the large number of animals contained in the trailer, and the filthy conditions in which the cats and kittens were living."
According to Lubrin, there was no food or water for any of the animals and investigators had to use ventilators and protective suits to go inside the trailer. Lubrin stated that the woman who owned the cats is believed to be homeless and was living in her truck. The trailer had been moved several times around the county and was found on Wednesday. The cats' owner had previous orders from the county to keep fewer animals and to provide them with veterinary care and safe and healthy conditions.
Lubrin stated that the investigation is ongoing and will be sent to prosecutors for potential charges, including animal cruelty. The woman, 55, has not been arrested at this time.
The presence of 110 animals in such a tiny living space indicates that this was a potential animal hoarding situation. According to the Hoarding Animals Research Consortium, animal hoarding is defined as: having more than the typical number of companion animals, inability to provide even minimal standards of nutrition, sanitation, shelter, and veterinary care, with this neglect often resulting in starvation, illness, and death, and denial of the inability to provide this minimum care and the impact of that failure on the animals, the household, and the human occupants of the home.
Pet Abuse notes that there have been nine recorded hoarding cases in the U.S. so far this year. The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) states that animal hoarding is an extreme example of how life-threatening neglect can affect both people and animals.
The HSUS states that there are nearly 250,000 victims of animal hoarding each year. This animal abuse is different from other types of animal cruelty, as the perpetrators don't always recognize the cruelty they're inflict on their animals. Animal hoarders usually believe that they are saving or rescuing the animals that they have, even though the animals are living in abysmal conditions without enough space, food, or water.

This week on Twitter: Ke$ha #cheesebombs, Justin Bieber tickets sell for $5000, & Katy B wants everyone to be strippers
by Aaron Zorgel
November 30, 2012
#1: Rihanna – Diamonds
lindsay lohan gets arrested again. in other news starships are meant to fly.— Benny Blanco (@ItsBennyBlanco) November 30, 2012
Benny Blanco co-produced Rihanna's "Diamonds," an excellent song, which gives him complete license to make fun of Nicki Minaj's "Starships," an utterly terrible song.
FUN FACT: Benny's tweet is referring to a drunken kerfuffle between Lohan and another woman at a New York City night club. After attending a Justin Bieber concert at Madison Square Gardens, LOhan allegedly assaulted another patron, and was arrested. In the video below, you can hear Lohan say "Are you kidding me?" It's safe to say that Lindsay's real-life antics are far more entertainment than any moment in Liz & Dick.
#98: Wiz Khalifa – Remember You feat. The Weeknd
If you havent paid the cost then im sorry because you cannot be the boss— Wiz Khalifa (@wizkhalifa) November 29, 2012
He doesn't make the rules, he just enforces them.
FUN FACT: Wiz and Amber say that they're getting married in "a couple of weeks." What, no "save the date"?

Enjoying the North Beach neighborhood better known as 'Little Italy' in Francisco is fun when you experience the area by taking a food tour of the area. Inherently tied to a food loving community, North Beach is steeped with history, food production and an active café lifestyle. The best part of touring the neighborhood is enjoying the folk lore and history through an animated icon from North Beach and this Blandina Farley with Local Tastes of the City Tours. An artist and iconic local character, Blandina exudes the quirky nature of this area which once welcomed the beatniks, artists, gays and fringe elements mixed in with working ethnic groups like Italians and Chinese immigrants to this melting pot community.
Food is a central part of this community with bakeries, Italian delis and restaurants, Italian pastries and imported goods, artisan producers and shops. We start off with a tour of Caffe Roma a fixture of coffee blenders and retailers that have been servicing the community for a long time along with selling a variety of home make Italian pastries in their signature bakery. We end going to more carbo induced heaven with a tour of a local bread/bakery producer, fudge shop, Balsamic and local products, yummy penne pasta in oh so good homemade marinara, more pastries and Italian anti pasta and thin crust pizza. Along our tour of local haunts and shops, Blandina adds funny stories of the interesting and bizarre characters of the area including the Parrots that have completely naturalized in the parks and green spaces of North Beach.
We peak into a dark and ornate Saints Peter and Paul church, visit the inner sanctums of a well-known jeweler/artist, savor some delicious favored balsamic vinegars and yummy handmade caramels and see bread and pastries being made in by hand and with huge machines at a baking institution servicing the area and local restaurants and hotels in the area.
The walk is easy and well-paced with a combination of food stops and tasting mixed in with visits to interesting landmarks in the neighborhood. The 3 hour tour is fun with just the right amount of food tasting that is included in the tour. Blandina really makes the tour and neighborhood come alive while we visit many local purveyors and haunts in the area, adding just the right amount of personal story telling with famous personalities that have lived or hung out in the historic or popular spots of North Beach. If you are in the mood to experience food and touring this eclectic neighborhood, I would recommend taking a tour with Local Tastes of the City Tours.

Looking back at a few review threads, they seem to echo a feeling that for some speakers, provided you've got an amp that can drive them adequately, the choice of CD player is pretty much irrelevant.
Dynaudios seem to be a case in point:
- Solid's written something in his blog to this effect regarding the Focus 110s.
- MIB has commented that when he tested the Cyrus6, 8 and 8+PSX CDPs, there was no discernible difference, and that his cheapo Pioneer DVD was as good as any of them (I'm presuming this was all with the 1.8s).
- A comparison of Contours vs Audiovectors using Copland and Cyrus CDPs showed that with AVs, the Copland was significantly better, but through the Dyns there was nothing in it.
I feel the same about my speakers to a degree, because there isn't a big difference between my CDP and a much cheaper DVD. Likewise, it's pretty indifferent to interconnects that I've tried. I put it down to the speakers being really warm, and therefore not that revealing. Although the Dyns are probably more neutral, I guess the bass still gives them an overall feel of being tonally on the warm side.
Possibly it's the same for all speakers on the warm side. There have been a number of threads questioning which component is most important, and I'm reckoning that on the whole, those with a preference for the higher transparency speakers will go with the "source first" philosophy (since they can hear the differences more obviously), whilst those with a preference for lusher speakers stick with final element.
Maybe the motto of all this "go for warm speakers and you can save a fortune on the source"?
Or maybe it's "you've got to buy the highest resolution speakers possible so as to appreciate what's on the CD"?
Is there anything in all this or I am I writing complete bollocks (I'm anticipating Duvet coming along and telling me not to worry about it, but just to turn the volume up and have a glass of wine…)

I just purchased some food at Super One and witnessed a gentlemen buy a 24 pack of diet sierra mist with his EBT card. At least it was diet but people can really purchase soda with EBT? Now that I think about it, a while back I witnessed a man buy an energy drink and a pack of gum with his EBT card.
It would be fun to read more EBT/Food Stamp accounts other readers have seen or heard about. What exactly can't you buy with an EBT card?

Sharon Osbourne Confirms AGT Departure, Compares NBC to Titanic (VIDEO)
Sharon Osbourne appeared on Monday's "Late Show with David Letterman," where she confirmed her departure from "America's Got Talent" and took a swipe at NBC.
The reality star, upset with the network for firing her son Jack from "Stars Earn Stripes," told Letterman that while "AGT" is "the most fabulous show to work on… but it's just time, you know when your gut tells you… [it's] time to move on, do other things."
Osbourne noted, "I truly do love the show. If I wasn't on it, I'd still watch it."
She praised new judge Howard Stern as "such a great guy… he's brilliant on the show."
But when Letterman asked if everything else between Osbourne and NBC was "fine," she couldn't resist taking a jab.
"Wasn't it terrible about the Titanic?" she asked Letterman, drawing audience laughter. "Shame, wasn't it?"

I confess, I have been a bit surprised at the number of people who are predicting a Sergio Martinez rubout, saying that the Argentine is going to whack Miguel Cotto around with the ugly stick, mercilessly, resulting in a stoppage win for the 39-year-old.
That's by no means a diss on Sergio...but I am mindful of the way his body has been betraying him the last few years, as it does us all if we are lucky enough to wake and soldier on another day. That said, when looking at the two men Friday, at the weigh in, Martinez looked a weight class larger to me, and yes, I do believe his strength edge, his size edge, could prove to be the difference-maker against a guy who I think left a measure of his power back at 140 pounds.
Anyway, Sergio looked in fine form, and that doesn't surprise me in the least, because he's fortunate enough to have superstar chef Chris Santos, who many of you Food Net watchers know from "Chopped," advising him on nutrition.
I checked in with Santos on Monday, as we both watched Martinez get a nice lather going during a media/fan appearance at Modells in Times Sq., NYC. Santos, it seems, is a mega fight fan. Like, borderline crazed. The restarauteur, who owns The Stanton Social as well as Beauty & Essex, both in NY's Lower East Side, got addicted to the sweet science "on my grandfathers' knee as a kid." He grew up in Providence, Rhode Island, and has been in NYC for twenty years now.
Santos, who has actually trained and sparred with pros a ton, knew grand-dad fought as a pro, and has fond memories of listening to Holmes-Cooney on the radio. He recalls the swirl of energy in his house when Larry Holmes and Ken Norton clashed, back in 1981. His office, he told me, is "a shrine to boxing," and he has every The Ring magazine from 1980 on, and has about a thousand fights on DVD.
So, basically, you know it's a distinct honor for him when Martinez pops in to one of his joints, and orders high-protein stuff, as he gets his body into fighting trim. Lots of egg whites, and fish, straightforward stuff for "Maravilla." But after the fight, presumably after getting the W, steak will be sizzling. Santos told me he was going to be tracking down the best cut of beef in the city for Martinez, to chow at the after party. Sergio will chomp a massive ribeye at Beauty & Essex, Santos said.
It's clear that this guy is simply digging what he does; the cooking scene and the fight game, he said, have some similarities, in that chefs do 12 hour days, and many see that grind as being like a 12 round fight.
Chef will be cheering on Sergio from the second row, camera side, on Saturday night. You know he's hoping Sergio chews up Cotto, and has his mug looking something like that ribeye, medium rare, by the end of the fight.
Follow Woods on Twitter. https://twitter.com/Woodsy1069
Could be that by fight's end, Cotto's face is going to look like steak tartare, his face thoroughly peppered and his ribs are going to be roasted!
-Randy G.
I think you are 100% right as long as Martinez is 90% healthy !
Chef C $antos's hope is like smoke. And Ser-Mart is going to choke. He is a ragged-knee bloke. I'm not fooled by the Jerry-rig. Or of Ser-Mart being big. He's going to get beat down. And thus will spill the tears of a clown. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDVceKdx1UY. Holla!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Important efforts could be underway in the coming years for Echo and Rockport Reservoirs to improve their water quality, and it will require the participation of state, county and private parties. The water quality concerns came after a state study found the level of dissolved oxygen in both reservoirs is too low.
"The dissolved oxygen levels that occur in the reservoirs dropped below what they needed to be at for a coldwater fishery," said Mike Luers, general manager of the Snyderville Basin Water Reclamation District. "The state was required to conduct a study under the Clean Water Act to determine why [oxygen levels are low]."
Dissolved oxygen levels are too low due to excessive loading of phosphorus and nitrogen into the reservoirs. These nutrients, which are found in fertilizer and wastewater effluent, promote the growth of algae in water, Luers said. However, at night algae consume oxygen, and when there is too much algae, the oxygen content diminishes.
This lack of oxygen in the water is not suitable for trout, and it also impacts water quality. Luers said the Snyderville Basin Water Reclamation District will need to upgrade its Silver Creek water reclamation facility as part of the Division of Water Quality's recommendations. It will contribute half of the $30 million needed for the upgrade.
But runoff from wastewater facilities across the Basin and the East Side is only half of the issue.
Part of the solution could be imposing more strict standards for septic systems in the area, Baker said, or connecting homes to sewer infrastructure. Summit County Health Department Director Richard Bullough said this is already a priority for the department.
"In Weber Canyon, we're going to take a look and start mapping where septic systems are. If we have a cluster where we know the systems are 30 [or more] years old, that may be an area we focus on," Bullough said.
In addition to participating in the implementation of the DWQ study, Bullough said the Health Dept. will be doing surface, ground and well water testing in the Snyderville Basin. He added there has been strong collaboration with the state on the matter.
The Weber Basin Water Conservancy District, which is the sole operator of Rockport Reservoir and is a stockholder in Echo, will also play a role in improving the reservoirs' water quality. General Manager Tage Flint said the water districts involved need to know how to balance water quality with delivering contracted water efficiently.
"We're looking at the overall health of the watershed -- of aquatic species and plant life -- because a healthy watershed is in the best interest to ensure water quality," Flint said. "Reservoir operation has to be done in a way that can help water quality and deliver the amounts of water that are under contract."
Because the cost of the study could be near $30 million just to address non-point sources, Baker said the DWQ will present these facts before an interim meeting of the House Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment Committee before taking the study before the EPA for approval.
"Water quality is important because we're the ones drinking it -- we're the ones fronting the cost for treating that water," Flint said.

Soccerology Diary
September 6, 2005
I�m back by popular demand to update you on this season�s events, so I hope everyone is adequately rested and ready for another five months of intense soccer action. Enjoy the ride as I give you the updates and events in SMU men�s soccer.
Preseason was different this year since we had an early exhibition tournament in Ohio. Two-a-days lasted only four days instead of the usual 7-10 days I had experienced freshman year. Everyone is anxious and excited to get the season underway having something to prove after the end of last season. The team has transformed multiple times since the end of last season, but change can be good and, although not easy to see at first, can have great outcomes in the future.
This year, I am accompanied by three other seniors - Duke Hashimoto, Mike Uremovich, and Kellan Zindel. With the leadership exerted by these senior players, we should have a tremendous season. Also with the help of Chasea Wileman, Mynor "Mono" Gonzalez, Jay Neejam, Dario D. Saintus, Scottie Corbin, Izzy Jones, Phil "Vice" Calderon, Tim "Gutti" McCrae, and Steve "A&F" Sandbo returning from last year's team should bring an additional boost to the season.
Our first two preseason games were this weekend against Notre Dame and Indiana University. It was a tough road trip, competing against #25 Notre Dame and defending champions Indiana University. Despite the unfortunate outcomes and the disappointing results, I believe we gained some valuable lessons. Obviously, it was not how we wanted the beginning of the season to start with a 4-1 and 4-0 loss to any opponent regardless of the rankings and titles. It was embarrassing and an eye-opener to say the least. However, we see it as a benchmark for SMU to play in order to win a national championship. From this weekend, we have learned something that practices and drills could not teach us. Without a doubt, we need to improve to play at that level with the #1 team in that nation. Can it be done�absolutely. An athlete who I can�t recall at this point stated that �If you get off to a bad start, don�t worry. It�s the finish not the start that counts.�
We have two tournaments these next couple of weeks at home, Wescott Field, against West Virginia on Friday and University of South Florida on Sunday. We hope to get a lot of crowd support to kick off the season right at home.
