Family Circle
-- A picture of July Fourth cupcakes on the cover makes it
seem fluffier in content than it really is. The editor strikes a
balance between less-consequential stuff, such as different ways
to fold a dinner napkin, with substantive family issues, such as
crash-proofing your teen and taking care of your aging parents.
One article called "Easy Money" focuses
on the problems of three cash-strapped families with advice from
experts about how to turn their situations around. It's tough to
solve complicated problems in such a short space. I would have liked
to see more than five to seven paragraphs devoted to each family.
And while I disagreed with a couple of the solutions, overall the
articles could apply to a lot of people, so I hope their readers
benefit from the information.

Ladies' Home
Journal -- The magazine addresses exfoliation, manicures,
makeup and denim fashions on the light side. You'll also find plenty
of articles relating to family issues, diet and nutrition as well
as one on chronic pain. A royal celebrity profile on Sarah Ferguson
and her two princess daughters, a special report on the challenges
of interracial families and an article about a father whose daughter
died after taking the abortion pill give readers much to contemplate.
I could find only one personal finance piece -- on
the risks of automatic bill paying. It does cover the topic more
thoroughly than money articles in other publications, however.

Truly the most substantive of all, this magazine for women of age
40 and up focuses on aging, though in a positive sense. There's
much ado about gray hair throughout the issue, with a confession
from Editor in Chief Peggy Northrop, who went gray prematurely in
her mid-thirties and stayed that way until she was 45 and searching
for a new job. ("Hello high-maintenance highlights, goodbye,
thousands of dollars that, if laid end to end in a mutual fund,
would no doubt have led me straight to a beach house down payment.")

All-Time Series Record:
Current Streak:
Notes on the Series: Arizona and Oregon will be meeting for the 32nd time in a series that dates back to 1937 ... The Wildcats have not won in Autzen Stadium since 1986 when they defeated the Ducks 41-17, but they have also had limited opportunities having played just six games there since the last UA victory 20 years ago ... Despite the long run since UA's last win in Eugene, Arizona has played Oregon tough on the road, dropping a six-point game in 1989 (16-10), a one-point game in 1994 (10-9), a seven-point contest in 1997 (16-9) and a four-point game in 2000 (14-10) ... Oregon's most lopsided win over the Cats in Eugene over the last 20 years was an 18-point victory in 1996 (49-31) ... The last time Arizona played Oregon in Autzen, UO roared out to a 28-0 lead and held on for a 28-14 victory in Mike Stoops' first season of 2004 ... UA's longest winning streak against UO is four straight from 1984-88 ... The Ducks' current seven-game winning streak (1999-2005) is their longest in the all-time series ... UA's largest margin of victory in the series is 35 points when it defeated UO 38-3 in 1998 ... UO's largest margin of victory was a 48-10 win over the Cats in Tucson in 2003 ... The average margin of victory in the all-time series is 14.6 points, but 12 of the 31 games have been decided by nine points or less.
Some Game Themes...
Last Week
Junior cornerback Antoine Cason electrified a Homecoming crowd of 55,519 with a fourth-quarter interception return of 39 yards to give Arizona its first lead, and the Cats held on to win and send the No. 8 California Bears packing, 24-20. The interception was one of three for the Cats and represented a simple axiom that proved solid -- take care of the ball and good things will happen. The Cats had no turnovers, were patient and balanced on offense (34 passes, 33 runs), reserved the right to punt (nine), were solid in the red zone (2-2 TDs) and didn't let in-game adversity cause the turmoil it had in the recent past. The Bears' first score -- a 95-yard punt return by DeSean Jackson four minutes into the game -- might have been a dagger earlier in the year, but UA's measure of swagger from its Top 25 victory at WSU a week earlier helped it retain focus.
Cal Quick Hits
The victory over No. 8 Cal marked the second consecutive season that Arizona has defeated a top 10-ranked opponent on Homecoming Weekend (No. 7 UCLA in 2005) ... Arizona, which did not fumble or have an interception, recorded its first turnover-free game of the season against the Golden Bears which entered the game with a Pac-10-best +11 turnover margin and 20 interceptions on the year ... DB Antoine Cason's "Pick-Six" in the fourth quarter was his first career defensive score at UA and his 10th all-time interception ... It was also UA's first defensive TD since teammate Michael Johnson returned an interception 40 yards for a score at Oregon State last season ... Arizona's three interceptions of Nate Longshore, the Pac-10's passing efficiency leader, was a season-high for a game for the Cats and the most in a contest since picking off six passes at Oregon State last year ... WR Mike Thomas' 39-yard reception in the third quarter was his longest of the season ... DB Devin Ross gained 10 yards on his first career carry on UA's successful fake punt attempt in the second quarter ... Cory Hall earned his first career start at FS in place of an injured Dominic Patrick ... RB Chris Henry tied his career-high with two rushing TDs (at WSU in 2006, at UCLA in 2004) ... P Nick Folk tied a season-high with nine punts in the contest ... Folk also connected on his sixth-straight field goal attempt ... The 14 points scored in the fourth quarter against the Golden Bears equaled a season high for the Cats (14 vs. SFA) and were the first points scored in the final 15 minutes of a game since Nick Folk kicked a FG against USC on Sept. 23.
A Quick Look at
The Ducks have fallen out of the top 25 for the first time this season following a 35-10 loss at USC last weekend ... Still the Duck are bowl-eligible, having put together a 7-3 record thus far ... Offensively, the Ducks are averaging 33.7 points per game (12th nationally) and 446.4 total yards (fifth nationally, first in the Pac-10) - 195.4 rushing, 251.0 passing ... Individually QB Dennis Dixon is fourth in the Pac-10 in total offense (229 ypg) and has the sixth-best passing efficiency in the conference (125.6) ... His main target has been WR Jaison Williams, who is 12th nationally and first in the Pac-10 after averaging 6.2 catches per game. His 92.9 yards receiving per game also leads the conference and is 11th nationally ... Jonathan Stewart is the main rushing threat, averaging 84.0 yards per game ... Defensively the Ducks are allowing a very stingy 293.3 yards per game this year, however their rushing defense has been prone to give up some yards, allowing 147.8 yards per game, a figure that ranks 80th nationally and ninth in the Pac-10 ... Head coach Mike Belloti is in his 12th season at Oregon and has put together a 97-45 record as the Ducks top guy.
Match Ups to Watch
Some of the unit match ups this week are intriguing.
Polar Opposites
Sharing the Duties
The week prior to
Nobody Said It Would Be Easy...
but nobody has probably had it this hard. The Cats' 2006 schedule is rated the 12th-toughest in Division IA by the NCAA, a derivation of opponents' won-loss marks... UA has played three Top 10 opponents as rated by the Associated Press -- No. 8 LSU, No. 3 USC and No. 8 Cal - as well as No. 25 Washington State. In Mike Stoops first three seasons as head coach he has had to face a demanding slate that has seen 14 of the 32 opponents ranked in the top 25. Not an easy schedule for a man trying to rebuild a program.
Two for the Road
It's All About 20
When the Cats score 20 or more points this season they are a perfect 4-0, when giving up 20 or less to the opposition they are 4-2.
Moving On Up
It's How You Finish
vs. No 1 USC - L, 49-9 vs. No. 18 Arizona - W, 34-27 2005
vs. No. 7 UCLA - W, 52-14 2006
at No. 25 Washington State - W, 27-17 vs. No. 8 California - W, 24-20
It Hasn't Been Pretty...
With an injury to starting free safety Dominic Patrick (stinger) keeping him on the bench against No. 8 Cal, the UA coaches called on redshirt freshman Cory Hall to fill against Golden Bears' top-rated Pac-10 passing offense. Hall came through with an interception in the first quarter, the first thrown by Pac-10 passing efficiency leader Nate Longshore in 64 attempts, and finished with a pair of PBUs and a tackle.
Klyce Does Nice
Although starting strong safety Michael Johnson had to leave the
Building a Cason For The Thorpe
Antoine Cason had a pretty good week last week. The junior CB was named the Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Week on Monday after helping lead the Cats to a 27-17 win over
Bouncing Back
After giving up the longest punt return in school history (95 yards to DeSean Jackson) on the first kick of the game last Saturday to No. 8 Cal, the Wildcat punting unit made some adjustments and bounced back nicely. Kicking eight more times in the contest, punter Nick Folk and the Wildcat coverage unit allowed Jackson and fellow return man Justin Forsett just 33 more yards on returns. Folk was the main contributor, averaging 45.3 yards per punt while pinning the Golden Bears inside their own 20 four times.
D?©j? vu
Check this out - Arizona completes a close but disappointing seven-point home loss to a school from Oregon, heads to the Pacific Northwest and pulls off a conference road victory and then returns to Tucson the following week to knock off a top 10 school from the University of California system on Homecoming Weekend. Sound familiar? Well, it should because it is not only what has transpired over the last three weeks this year, but it is identical situation that happened exactly at this time last season. Now the Cats need to make sure that the Deja Vu wears off and they begin to write a new script, as they fell to

Nick's Clicking
Do-it-all kicker Nick Folk has been successful on his last six field goal tries, including a 39-yarder against No. 8 Cal, 48-yarder at No. 25 Washington State and a 45-yard boot at Stanford. That's his best in-season stretch, topping a pair of three consecutive makes twice as a sophomore and once last year. His 12 successful FG attempts are not only a career best, but they are the most for an Arizona team since Bobby Gill (7-for-11) and Sean Keel (6-for-11) teamed up for 13 makes in 2002. So much for the days of 2003 when
Moving The Chains
UA converted a season-high nine third down plays (18) attempts at No. 25 WSU Nov. 4 and was a bit more modest last weekend against No. 8 Cal (3 for 15). However, the 36 percent success rate is nearly astronomical when compared to the opposition's 19 percent (5 for 26) over that same two-game span. The
Going For It
Including a fake punt on 4th-and-7 and gutsy 4th-and-1 in their own territory early the third quarter last week against Cal, the Cats have tried to convert on fourth down 13 times this year, making 10 (77%). Nice. The Opposition? 0-for-4.

A Dominant Defensive Effort
The Arizona defense limited Stanford to just 32 offensive plays on Oct. 14 (14 in the first half, 18 in the second half) and four first downs (2 in the first half, 2 in the second) ... The four first downs allowed narrowly missed the Arizona school record of three which has happened three times ... The 52 yards gained by Stanford in the entire contest were the fewest for the Cardinal in school history ... It was also the fewest yards surrendered by a UA defense to a Pac-10 opponent in school history, surpassing the 79 yards given up to Oregon State in 1981 ... The Cardinal's minus six yards rushing marked the first time UA has held an opponent to negative rushing yards since limiting UCLA to -31 yards in 1999 ... Stanford's longest drive in the game, time-wise, consisted of six plays for nine yards over 3:24. The Wildcats had six drives the lasted at least that long. Stanford's longest drive, yards-wise, was three plays for 13 yards in the first quarter that ended with a fumble ... The UA defense held Stanford to a 3:23 time of possession in the second quarter. The Cardinal ran three plays for -7 yards in the frame ... Aside from the interception return for a TD, Stanford did not possess the ball inside of

Flash Review 1, 7-11: Running Away
to the Cirque
The Angels of Cirque Plume Descend on NYC
By Maura Nguyen Donohue
Copyright 2001 Maura Nguyen Donohue
In a world full of extreme sports
and "Jackass" MTV stars, nouveau cirque stands as a pure celebration of prowess
with profundity. My favorite theater-going experiences this year revolve around
Cirque based works. Cirque inspires belief in magic. It allows us momentary returns
to childlike awe. We are witness to a world full of angels. Or, in the case of
France's Cirque Plume, which opened last night under the big top at Lincoln Center
Festival's Damrosch Park, a world full of flying musicians, flying bicycles and
one lovable, slightly damaged, angel.
Any circus that opens with Hendrix
is my speed. Cirque Plume's "Melanges" is truly a mixing of many elements. The
evening is chock full of fantastic music composed by the charming maestro Robert
Miny, and performed with wit and adroit showmanship by Laurent Tellier and Alain
Mallet, who aside from a few turns on the trampoline plays several instruments
including the dan bau, Vietnam's monochord. One of the musician sequences included
Jean-Marie Jacquet as a literally light in the loafers tambourine player. Vocal
and musical performances by Michele Faivre, Alice Waring and Brigette Sepaser
are bewitching. Sepaser keeps us spellbound during her elegant turn on a microphone-enhanced
Christophe Carrasco has all the vibrancy
of a pup as he goads his fellow performers and laps up the adulation for his hanging
straps routine. Juggler Iris, despite perhaps being a madman, is a sincere craftsman.
When executed with great skill, juggling is unenhanced magic and the best metaphor
for a modern life. Razor-sharp focus, quick reflexes and excellent timing could
allow each of us to keep several pursuits simultaneously aloft. Iris's hat-juggling
duet with dancer Severine Allarousse is refined, witty and merely a glimpse of
the synchronicity between a man and his fated medium. Fanny Soriano's duet with
her cord also reveals an artist well-married to her chosen form. Soriano's comfort
on the rope is so natural, I imagine myself rigging a rope to my ceiling and spending
hours wrapped in what she deceptively portrays as its easy embrace. Soriano mentions
spiders in her bio and I can see where she would identify with them. This woman's
home could easily be a web.
The buoyancy of Sophie Mandoux's
turn on the trapeze left me wide-eyed and slack-jawed. I could feel my heart filling
with light. There's nothing like watching such an effervescent performer -- and
Mandoux is such a one, tiny and positively bursting with bubbles -- swing at full
force way over your head to clear out the overwhelming internal din that modern
living (or is that just NYC) brings you. Forget artistry, execution, sociopolitical
commentary or craftsmanship, because for a brief moment this will bring you down
to good ol' child-like "Wowwwwww." Brazilian-born and raised Osmar Pedro De Souza
channels his capoeira upbringing to emerge as the company's resident butterfly.
In my next life I'd like to come back as De Souza, the ultimate mixture of grace,
power, strength and flexibility. I've figured out what I'd like for my impending
birthday: at least a decade back so I can start over and run away to join the
Cirque Plume is on view at Lincoln
Center through July 21.

text: Jan 16, 2013 16:32 Camilla V. Saulsbury Comments Pear Cake Serves 16. This recipe is from "Piece of Cake! One-bowl, No-Fuss, From-Scratch Cakes," by Camilla V. Saulsbury (Robert Rose, $29.95). 1¾ cups all-purpose flour 1 cup granulated sugar 2½ tsps. baking powder ½ tsp. salt 2 large eggs 1 cup sour cream ½ cup unsalted butter 1½ tsps. vanilla extract 2½ cups coarsely chopped, firm ripe pears Nonstick baking spray 1. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. 2. Add eggs, sour cream, butter and vanilla to flour. Using an electric mixer on medium-low speed, beat for 1 minute, until blended. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl with a spatula. Beat on medium for 1 minute. 3. Gently stir in pears. 4. Spread batter evenly in 13-by-9-inch baking pan sprayed with nonstick baking spray with flour. Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Note: This cake is delicious — not too sweet — without a crumb topping. Camilla V. Saulsbury suggests a crumb topping made with ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1⁄3 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and 1½ cups chopped walnuts. Using fingertips, blend ingredients until crumbly and sprinkle evenly on batter before baking. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Including a description of the weather and climate of Suriname and French Guiana.
Guyana - a former British colony - is situated on the Atlantic coast of South America between 1° and 8°N. It is bordered by Venezuela on the west, by Brazil on the south, and by Suriname on the east.
The weather and climate of Guyana are similar to those of the neighbouring countries of Suriname (formerly Dutch Guiana) and French Guiana to the east. All these countries have coastlines on the Atlantic, open for most of the year to the influence of the moist northeast trade winds.
Inland the country rises, towards the Venezuelan and Brazilian borders, to a plateau which is surmounted by isolated hills. Twice a year the whole area comes under the influence of the intertropical belt of cloud and rain which meteorologists call the intertropical convergence.
The lowlands have a typical hot, wet, equatorial type of climate with constant, high humidity. This area is often very sultry and oppressive as well as having a very monotonous weather regime, for there is little change from day to day. Wet days alternate almost equally with dry days. The nights are particularly oppressive but during the day the regular sea breeze brings some relief on the coast.
Temperatures never rise to very high levels and so are not dangerous; but the heat and humidity are enervating to visitors who are not acclimatized. Sunshine amounts are moderately large; from four to five hours a day in the wetter months and as much as eight hours a day during the drier seasons.
Inland in the higher plateaux areas rainfall may be slightly less and there is a tendency for a single rainy season from April to September, although all months get some rain. Daytime temperatures are here a little lower than on the coast and night temperatures are much cooler, so that the climate is less uncomfortable.
Humidity is also lower during the drier months. Climatic conditions here are well represented by the table for Santa Elena which is just across the border in western Venezuela.
Guyana is the most northerly and the largest of the three countries. It has the largest area of upland plateau with the highest mountain rising to over 2,750 m/9,000 ft.
The table for Georgetown is representative of the coastal area and the lowlands. The rainiest months are May to July and November to January, as the intertropical convergence brings the heaviest and most reliable rains. These are the months with most cloud and least sun. Note the constant high humidity and the remarkably constant temperature around the year.

Do you have any advice about getting the pain relief I need? I feel like my doctor is not very receptive to my concerns.
The pain associated with RA should improve as the arthritis-related inflammation is controlled, usually with medication. It is possible that your medications are not yet optimal for your condition. Choice of medication(s) is complex and depends on age, other medical conditions, degree of inflammation, etc. Only a physician can determine the proper regimen for you. If you feel your doctor is unresponsive, you may need a second opinion or perhaps another physician. Physical exercise, especially water-based therapies like swimming, is wonderful for the pain as well. Other options include seeking out a pain specialist that can address your specific concerns especially if there is a specific area of the body (e.g., neck or lower back) that is a problem.

THE CITY of Ironwood will host a public reception at the Memorial Building Tuesday from 4 to 8 p.m. to celebrate the city's 125th birthday. There will be cake, coffee, exhibits and tours on the hour.
IRONWOOD - On the 125th birthday of the city of Ironwood, efforts are being made to spruce up the Memorial Building.
City officials said areas of the building used by the public are being painted, the first new coats since the building was renovated 20 years ago.
The new paint scheme blends in with colors in the polished Tennessee marble stonework in the building's entrance rotunda.
The city is hosting a public reception at the building Tuesday from 4 to 8 p.m. to celebrate the historical birthday. There will be cake and coffee.
People will have the opportunity to view areas within the building seldom open to the public, as guided tours are planned on the hour for Tuesday.
Local historians will be on hand to answer questions about the building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the history of Ironwood and the Gogebic Range.
This spring, historic photographs depicting Ironwood, including its services and workers, will grace the hallways, main office and foyer of the Memorial Building. The project is a collaborative effort between the city and Ironwood Historical Society.
When weather permits, Mayor Kim Corcoran said it's planned city equipment will be displayed.
The historical society will present an exhibit on the second floor, focusing on the Locations, as Ironwood's neighborhoods were and still are known. Locations refer to neighborhoods developed around mine sites, such as Norrie Location.
The term location is unique to the Upper Peninsula.

HANNIBAL - Noting he believes American Electric Power will raise the company's electric bill by $20 million a year, Ormet Chief Executive Officer Mike Tanchuk said the aluminum producer must curtail operations.
In conjunction with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act notice Ormet filed last month, Tanchuk's Tuesday announcement could eventually lead to the company laying off nearly 1,000 workers at the Hannibal Primary Aluminum Reduction Plant by the end of the year.
"We have been working very hard with AEP and the state of Ohio over the past several months to formulate a solution to the rising electricity prices, but unfortunately could not come to agreement for any of the alternatives developed," Tanchuk said. "The current issue is that AEP's electricity rates have increased so much that Ormet needs additional assistance to keep employment levels up."
Initially, Tanchuk said, Ormet is going to shut down two of the six potlines at the Hannibal facility as the company continues searching for alternatives to its power supply problems. The rate increase - which AEP officials acknowledge will occur while declining to confirm its amount - is the result of a recent ruling by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio.
Earlier this month, the PUCO decided to freeze AEP's base generation rate at current levels until May 31, 2015. Under the terms of the order, AEP is directed to file with the PUCO a detailed competitive bidding process by Dec. 31. Customers will still see a 6 percent to 7 percent increase in monthly bills this year, but no resident or business will be responsible for more than a 12 percent increase.
Tom Byers, president of United Steelworkers Local 5724 at Ormet, said both potlines set for shutdown should be out of operation by the end of today. He emphasized Tuesday, though, that no one has been laid off to this point.
"We are just trying to get a handle on all of this. The ultimate outcome may not be good if the power rates go up by that much," Byers said.
The WARN notice states the first round of job cuts will take place by Sept. 18, with the remainder to take place by the end of the year. It further states the "curtailment of operations and reduction in force is expected to be indefinite."
"The current aluminum market and the dramatically increasing cost of electricity in Ohio have forced us to make additional reductions in operating levels at the Hannibal operation. The people of Ormet and the surrounding communities are very grateful for the support we have received in the past from our energy contract," Tanchuk added Tuesday.
AEP Ohio spokesman Jeff Rennie said this energy contract has afforded Ormet discounted rates since October 2009. He said his company has been "incredibly supportive of Ormet with their very attractive electric rate arrangement ..."
"We understand the challenges that rate increases can have on Ormet, given how difficult conditions are today in the global aluminum market. However, the majority of the nominal increase in AEP Ohio's rates is for recovery of the cost of power generation fuel that was used by Ormet and other customers but has not yet been recovered, and other investments in the electric infrastructure that support our customers and Ohio's energy economy," Rennie said.
AEP announced plans last year to close the Kammer Plant south of Moundsville, citing increased air pollution regulation by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The Kammer facility opened in the late 1950s, primarily for the purpose of supplying electricity for the Ormet plant, though it does not do this anymore. Rennie said the closing of the Kammer Plant - slated to be complete by June 1, 2015 - has nothing to do with the Ormet situation. He said Ormet would need to ask the PUCO for more assistance with power rates if the company needs it.
Ormet posted a $1.1 million net loss for the first three months of 2012, but company officials spent $1.9 million during that time to reline 22 pots at the Hannibal facility. In the first three months of the year, workers shipped 67,981 metric tons of product, compared to 58,079 tons during the same time in 2011.
Tanchuk also said the actions taken at Hannibal could impact the operating level of Ormet's Burnside Louisiana refinery, affecting an additional 252 employees there.


text: May 15, 2013 23:58 Weather interrupts LSU/Texas A&M again Weather interrupts LSU/Texas A&M again Advocate staff photo by TRAVIS SPRADLING -- LSU's JaCoby Jones follows through on his grand slam in the sixth inning of Saturday's game against Florida at Alex Box Stadium. The Tigers had 19 hits in their 18-6 victory, which completed a three-game sweep of the Gators. Les East| Advocate sportswriter May 10, 2013; 8:46 p.m. Comments COLLEGE STATION, Texas — The LSU baseball team was leading Texas A&M 7-2 after six innings when the game was delayed because of a severe storm that was approaching Blue Bell Park on Friday night. The Aggies had just scored two runs against Tigers starter Aaron Nola when the umpires stopped the game at 8:32 p.m. and ordered the tarp be placed on the field. A&M won the opener of the series 2-1 on Thursday night in a game that was delayed by rain for nearly two hours at the start and twice briefly after it began. The Tigers bounced back at the start of Friday's game, scoring three runs in both the second and fourth innings. Sean McMullen has four hits and three RBIs, and JaCoby Jones has two hits and an RBI on his 21st birthday. If the delay is of any significant duration, it likely will end Nola's night as well as his string of four consecutive complete games. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Secret message found in WW2 bullet tells the story of some stupid Nazis

Meanwhile, somewhere in the south of Tuscany, a soldier writes this encrypted message and hides it inside a bullet. In 2015, someone found it and deciphered it. It was the end of a hilariously absurd story.

Made In Chelsea's Proudlock: Francis And Rosie Should Get Together!
Made In Chelsea series four is just days away now, and the cast are remaining tight-lipped on what's in store. Well, some of them are.
We were lucky enough to have lunch with the gorgeous Oliver Proudlock in Chelsea's trendy La Brasserie, where he told us who he thinks should hook up in the next series. And we didn't even have to ply him with wine!
The conversation got a little filthy though, as we grilled the artist and designer on Fifty Shades Of Grey...
He said: "I read one page. It's pretty kinky. I do want to read them. How many are there? Does it get more and more dirty as they go on?"
Oh Proudlock, behave...
He added: "The first time you're a little bit shocked I guess… when I get the time I'll give them a read. I think Mila Kunis would make a great Ana for the film. She's gorgeous.
"Out of the Made In Chelsea gang I'd probably go with Millie to play Ana. Or Rosie!
"For Christian I'd probably say Francis. Just because he's so awkward. He'd be hilarious! I actually think those two together would make a pretty funny couple. Francis and Rosie. Actually maybe they should get together in the next series…"
Ooh, someone's going to be in trouble when they get home, Proudlock. Over to you, Francis... RM

a quick question about music organization
yes thats right, im back. i havnt gotten a D2 yet, but im saving up (gotta pay rent and get food first and foremost though)...(i also just got a job, so that helps).
ok, music organization...this is really important, and it was a thought that came up when reading about it...if the D2 passes this test, ill prob get one in about 2 weeks barring my car/house doesnt explode.
on my computer, i have all my music organized into different folders. in winamp (my preferred music player) i can then sort this music on to different playlists. so i might have my sleep music and my chill music. my chill music is my sleep music with a lot more, slightly more upbeat music added as well(stuff i couldnt sleep too...duh).
naturally, this music is on 2 playlists, but it is only on my computer as an mp3 one time.
from my understanding, the D2 functions mostly on a folder based organization. now the way i read this is, you can go into a folder and play all the music in it, shuffle it, whatever....but that would mean, if i want 2 different play lists, but i want the same song on both play lists, id have to have the song on the D2 twice(once in both folders).
is this accurate? or is more like winamp, and i can make playlists, and i can jump around my music with out having to have the music on the player multiple times.....also...
so now that ive got a job..two actually. ive started to save for my cowon D2...im pretty excited really. so much, for so little price! and then my room mate brought up an interesting point...the A2...bigger screen, LOTS more space, and not much more (about 90 bucks for 30 gb instead of 4, and the screen is 4 inches instead of 2.5).........(btw, can you read subtitles on the D2?)
so i started to research the A2 and it seems super interesting...i was hoping to hear the opinion of dfkt (im sorry if i typoed that). im aware your in love with the D2 for the most part. sure, it has some problems...but you boast it everywhere ive seen you post. whats the A2 battery life like?
further more, the A3 is coming out later this year...and then i found out it can play MKV and OGM and i then had to change my pants cause that is just wow. those 2 file types are epic. a huge majority of my files currently are OGM or MKV(and avi, which it still supports). does anyone know when this is coming out? ive heard it will be 300 dollars about, and it seems like an amazing player!
i just dont know what to do =[ if you would, describe what each player is best used for (like for example, using OS "windows is better for a gamer while mac is better for a 3D developer" kinda thing...the more detailed the better if you wouldnt mind =]
wow, i typed a lot, sorry...i just kinda ranted as me and my room mate were discussing it.

Ok ill try to answer at least your music question.
The D2 can view tracks by ID3 or a by folder. Yes you can go into a folder and select to play or shuffle and limit it to 1 folder. As far as playlists go, you can have 1 "Dynamic Playlist" or DPL at a time, you could just add both folders to this, and shuffle them. The Dynamic playlist lets you add any of your songs to that, and once you play a song from it, it shuffles or whatever you had it doing before, and yes you can add whole folders to the DPL at a time, you don't have to select each song individually. If the subtitles are embedded you should be able to view them. Hope that helps!

Hoping to resurrect an e260 from ebay soon.
that was the exact kind of answer i was looking for actually. thank you very much =] but can you only have one "dynamic playlist" playing at a time, or only 1 total?
and what i mean by "can you read subtitles" is "are they large enough to be legible?"
I haven't tried and movies with subtitles on my D2, but the resolution will definitely make them viewable.

Depends entirely on what font size you use to hardcode the subs into the movie. Softsubs aren't supported on the D2.
I watched some subbed stuff on the D2, it works for me. Although I wouldn't recommend watching a full 2-hour subbed movie - that might be a little too much strain on your eyes.
thanks for the replies you 2. honestly im more interested in the play list workings but it seems that if you sync the player with your pc, you can have playlists and thats cool with me, cause i wanted to sync it with winamp to begin with. even if i have to sync with wmp, ill just use my winamp M3us then sync, then close wmp again. no big deal. im just glad it works.

South Korea, US carrying out joint naval exercises
South Korean and American forces have begun joint naval exercises off the east coast of the Korean peninsula.
The drills, which follow a threat by North Korea to test a third nuclear device, are scheduled to last three days and have been described as pre-planned.
A nuclear-powered US submarine has joined warships and other vessels taking part.
North Korea has expressed anger at the exercises.
In December the United Nations expanded sanctions against North Korea after it launched a long-range rocket.

I'm running torrent client on my headless Ubuntu server. Also number of computers are connected to this server, which is used as internet gateway/router. The question is whether it's possible to configure iptables to prioritize traffic from eth1(lan if) over local traffic generated by server? Something like QOS..
There are several alternatives to achieve what you are looking for. But first of all, yes it is possible. Though, many of the possibilities are rather complex.
One of the easiest options might be to run the torrent daemon under a own user\group. Then use iptables to mark all traffic from that user\group with a flag. Then later let the tc filter on that flag and put it in the low priority queue. Look at the bottom of this wiki for an idea.
For what you are asking do you only need two queues(fig 1.), one low priority and one high. Though it might be better to stick with something closer to this example. You can adopt the example to your needs, just drop the part with nat and make the default mark lower value than the mark you will use for the traffic generated by the daemon.
So for my suggestion you can use something like
An alternative for setting a flag might be to use
Fig 1:
The best might be to have a leaf for every fw mark. But my best advice now is, read and try to understand the example referred above to adopt it to your needs. If you have any questions add them.
In the example referred above, is it important that you understand this part (fig 2.) when you want to write iptables rules for marking or classifying traffic. For a short explanation of it with a slightly different looking diagram have a look at this.

Quality of service is quite a complex topic -- the link posted by @anders-f-u-kiaer is possibly the best solution, but quite complex. I am not at all an expert on this so I will not comment.
Nevertheless, often a simpler solution can be handy. If you want just to limit the bandwidth for one program (for example, the torrent client) a much simple solution is using
You can install it by
and then you run a program with
(1) This is different from proper QoS: the bandwidth used by the "crippled" program will be reduced every time, not only when there is demand on the higher priority services as it will happen with proper QoS.
You don't do this with iptables. You need to change the routing metrics.

Although i'm sure many people would've loved to have seen this happen earlier, AMD are planning to introduce dual-core based entry level Sempron processors in around a year from now, the same time single core Athlon 64s will be phased out.
DigiTimes and XBit Labs have the details.
The dual-core AMD Sempron chips, which are likely to be called Sempron X2, are expected to be produced using 65nm process technology, thus, will not consume a lot of power. Cache sizes and clock-speeds are unclear, however, the chips are to be compatible with socket AM2 and will feature dual-channel PC2-6400 (DDR2 800MHz) memory controller.

Get a Rogue class with the Ranger soul (pet class), they level the fastest in the beginning and are extremely easy to play. Add a Bard as your second soul for fun and different play style, and for your third you could make a Marksman to enhance the Ranger build.
Once you get the hang of the game, locations, quests, etc - build a new Cleric player and use your original Rogue as a Banker/AH Mule. The Cleric is slower in the beginning, but once they hit Level 16 they level the fastest out of all other classes (e.g. go Inq/Jus/War AOE spec).

The aspen leaves are performing their annual dazzling fall act right now, turning (too quickly) from lime green to a radiant, deep gold.
If you're planning a trip to the Colorado north-central mountains this weekend, you won't be disappointed, though the fall color is not yet at its peak. I think we're still about seven or eight days away from the color peak, barring no more high winds or a snowstorm.
Here's my fall color report as of today:
Above 8,000 ft.: 70% gold, 30% green
Below 8,000 ft.: 60% gold, 40% green
Last year, the leaves peaked around Sept. 23.
If you need some ideas for great drives to take to see the fall colors, there's a good fall leaves resource on 9news.com.
If you like this article, you may want to check out some of my posts from fall 2009.

The annual 'San Francisco Chinese New Year's Parade 2014' celebrating the 'Lunar New Year' trotted through the streets of the city to Chinatown on Feb 15. This is the "Year of the Horse", the seventh of all the animals of the Chinese zodiac, and those born during this year are considered energetic, optimistic, charming and wise.
The history of this spectacular parade hails from the Gold Rush when over 50,000 Chinese came to California. Since the 1860's, Chinese Americans have held an annual parade in Chinatown, San Francisco, on Grant and Kearny.
One of the front entourages was the Tat Wong Kung Fu Academy dressed as the ancient "Terracotta Warriors", a wise choice since the burial site of first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang from 210–209 BC, included warriors and horses protecting him in his voyage to the underworld.
Mayor of San Francisco Ed Lee took the opportunity to light up 50,000 firecrackers at the parade start, which descended into a protective steel cage, not the first time exploding bamboo was lit during the parade route.
One of the film related entourages were the young warrior comrades of "Mulan", the heroine in the Walt Disney animated 1998 film who chose a fast horse to get away as quickly as possible. The film was set during the Han dynasty in China.
There were plenty of dragons, of course, including a 150 ft one rode by the San Francisco Police Department. Another 110 ft dragon was mounted by Yau Kung Moon school, a southern Shaolin Kung Fu system based in San Francisco.
Parade delegates included the San Francisco Hung Sing Lion Club, the oldest Chinese martial arts club in the USA for over 100 years. The Shaolin Temple USA was also a respected addition to the parade, the first official North American branch of the world famous Songshan Shaolin Temple in the Henan Province of China. Headquarters are in San Francisco. This was the original Shaolin Temple established in 495 AD and the birthplace of Chinese Chan (Zen) Buddhism and Shaolin Kung Fu.
This year's Parade Marshall Major Kurt Chew-Een Lee was the first regular U.S. Marine Corps officer, and the first of Asian descent. Lee earned the Navy Cross under fire in Korea in September 1950, serving in the 1st Battalion 7th Marines. Lee was seated next to Rep Pete McCloskey in a chauffeured automobile, who has just returned from a military reunion in North Korea.
Recognizable corporate sponsors featured horse themes. Chinese immersion schools included Wah Mei, the first Chinese-English bilingual preschool in San Francisco established in 1974, and Alice Fong Yu , the first Chinese immersion K-8 public school in the USA. This year's Alice Fong Yu students painted the murals for one of the floats featuring huge handmade horses.
Several marching bands were featured, as in other parades, including one playing Kurt Cobain's "Smells like Teen Spirit"; the title of the song came from Kathleen Hanna who wrote the slogan on Cobain's wall. There were also quite a few colossal 'money gods' roaming the streets of San Francisco.
Two major goodbyes are the tradition of each San Francisco Chinese New Year's Parade, the largest Chinese New Year's Parade outside Asia and one of the top ten parades of the world: the retirement of Miss Chinatown USA, and for 2013, Karen Li from Houston Texas, now Harvard bound - and goodbye to the "Year of the Snake".
The evening's finale was the breathtaking luminous presence of the fiery red and gold 268 ft long "Golden Dragon", symbol of the Emperor - the son of heaven, power and vitality.
Gung Hay Fat Choy to the "Year of the Horse".

Romney Jumps on Biden Remark About China's One-Child Policy
The U.S. national debt – and China's role in financing it – has moved from the economic realm into the touchy arena of social policy, in part because of Vice President Joe Biden's penchant for the off-the-cuff remark.
Taking questions at Sichuan University in Chengdu,about rising red ink in the U.S., the vice president said that China also faces a demographically induced crisis. The decades-old one-child policy in China has resulted in too few workers for the aging population, but unlike the U.S., China's problem isn't with the younger generation facing rising debt or rising taxes but an older generation with not enough young workers to care for it. So far so good, but then Mr. Biden, a pro-choice Catholic, had to weigh in on the wisdom of the one-child policy.
"You have no safety net. Your policy has been one which I fully understand — I'm not second-guessing — of one child per family," Mr. Biden said. "The result being that you're in a position where one wage earner will be taking care of four retired people. Not sustainable."
Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney pounced.
"China's one-child policy is gruesome and barbaric," he said in a statement. "Vice President Biden's acquiescence to such a policy should shock the conscience of every American. Instead of condoning the policy, Vice President Biden should have condemned it in the strongest possible terms. There can be no defense of a government that engages in compulsory sterilization and forced abortions in the name of population control."
Another GOP presidential hopeful, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, also weighed in, that China's policy "has led to the great human tragedy of forced abortions throughout China, and Vice President Biden's refusal to 'second-guess' this horrendous policy demonstrates great moral indifference on the part of the Obama Administration. Americans value life, and we deserve leaders who will stand up against such inhumanity, not cast a blind eye."
UPDATE: Biden spokeswoman Kendra Barkoff issued a statement saying the administration and Mr. Biden oppose China's policy.
"The Obama Administration strongly opposes all aspects of China's coercive birth limitation policies, including forced abortion and sterilization. The Vice President believes such practices are repugnant. He also pointed out, in China, that the policy is, as a practical matter, unsustainable. He was arguing against the One Child Policy to a Chinese audience."

Just four months after a Malaysian airplane crashed and was never found again another plane has crashed. On Thursday, CNN shared that the flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur has crashed in eastern Ukraine. This is a very common route that is taken by airlines all the time. Flight MH17 ended up crashing during their flight today after losing contact in Eastern Ukraine.
Hollywood Life shared the news about what they found out actually happened to this plane. It was traveling when they lost contact with it and now they have found it crashed to the ground. This plane was shot hit by a missile fired from a Buk launcher. There were 280 passengers plus 15 crew on board this plane. They were all found dead at the fiery crash scene of this airplane. Malaysia airlines did go to their Twitter page to share with their followers about what happened.
Russia now has 12,000 troops on the border with Ukraine. There has been a lot of building tension between these two countries for a while. They had 40,000 troops there last year so it has actually been lowered since then. This is a hostile area and they would have known the area the flight would be going. If they went off their course at all, it is not safe in this area. The plane was flying at 33,000 feet when it was hit and crashed to the ground today. The crash today could end up causing things to get worse between these two countries.
On March 8, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared. There were 239 passengers on board this plane. It has still not been located at this time and family and friends are starting to lose hope it will ever be located. At least the family of the passengers of Flight MH17 will be able to get some closure.
