Dvd Release Date: 2002-04-09
Genre: Comedy, Romance
Rating: R
Duration: 1hr 34min
Sam and Lucy Bell are a married couple who seem to have it all: good looks, successful careers and an enthusiastic love life. The only thing they lack is the one thing they want most- a baby. They try everything in their efforts to reproduce: New Age chanting, acupuncture, creative lovemaking...but all this hectic schedule achieves is improvement in their cardiovascular systems. Spontaneity is soon replaced by ovulation charts when the couple reluctantly deliver themselves into the hands of medical professionals. At the same time, as Sam comes to find his job increasingly unfulfilling, he sets his sights on writing a screenplay, but writer's block strikes. Encouraged to 'look within' by his hippie friend Druscilla, Sam is inspired: he will write a comedy about a couple trying for a baby! But Lucy is horrified at the idea and forbids him to tell their story. Sam and Lucy's love for each other, the most important thing they both have, will now truly be put to the test...with surprising results.

Running Time: 76
Director: Jim Gunn
Company: Pleasure Productions
Cast: Hank Armstrong, Phoenixxx Blacque, Michelle Phillips, Anna Malle, Goldie Summers
Critical Rating: AA
Genre: Feature
For new faces, one might check out blond Goldie Summers, cute of dimple and thick of leg. She\'s in three scenes. You can\'t miss her. She\'s the one taking this thing seriously.
"Remotely entertaining" is a phrase that springs to mind when describing Painting Babes. Emphasis on the word "remote." Primarily an outdoor feature that subscribes to the noir school of lighting, the intention seems to be the selling of outdoor recreational equipment, or at least a documentation of its necessity. Perhaps this tape should have been subtitled For Want of Ab Rollers, since Hank Armstrong appears to be about eight months pregnant in his boat coupling with Anna Malle. She uses her sexual wiles to get in on Armstrong's weekend maneuvers with the guys - the only other guy in sight being Vince Vouyer.

We're always lusting after chandeliers, but it seems like we can never find one that we can hang in a way that there isn't a big ol' cord snaked along our ceiling. Plus, it's not realistic for us to get that glitzy behemoth of a light fixture for our one bedroom apartment. Then we found the Large Silhouette Chandelier Mobile ($75): it's the silhouette of the statement piece we're looking for, without all the bulk of cords or the risk of electrocution as we wire our own lights. Granted, this beauty won't actually provide any light for us, but sometimes it's more about the artistic image than the practical use.

If some of your friends are political cranks, then you know the argument.
Goes like this: Your town spends, say, $600 providing a "get your picture taken with Santa" event for the local kids. Hopefully, they do it at Christmas
"Great," your crank buddy says. "The whole freakin' city is fallin' apart, and Mayor McCheese is playin' with Santa. That $600 could be spent helping to get drugs out of the city."
The idea is that ANY money spent on ANYTHING other than simple education, minimal road repair and cops, lots of cops, is a waste.

Says Shannon: "I was wondering if you had any ideas for Christmas gifts for my Mom. She is the hardest person to buy for. I always try to get something fun and she doesn't tell me she doesn't like it but I can always tell. I feel like I always waste my money and she will never actually tell me what she wants. Please help me with some ideas for Christmas gifts for my Mom. Also something not that expensive as I am just a recent college grad. She also loves the beach, wine, reading and YOGA is her favorite. I hope this helps. THANKS so much."
Hi, Shannon - Marian the Contrarian here. Some folks are just hard to shop for, it's true, but maybe one or more of the following will do the trick!
Starting with a very affordable gift for a wine lover, we have 1) Bottle Shock ($8), which stars Alan Rickman, Bill Pullman, and Chris Pine, and tells the story of the rise of the Napa Valley wineries in an entertaining, easygoing way. A bit pricier is this 2) set of two wine aerators from Vinturi, one for red wines and one for white ($60). If you want to splurge on a wine-related gift, how about a 3) Wine Essence Kit ($80), which will teach you how to recognize the subtle flavors that sommeliers go on about?
Moving from one interest to another, these 4) Super Grippy Yoga Gloves in black and pink ($8) make a small but useful present for a yoga practitioner. Our favorite yoga-related gift, though, would be a 5) personalized yoga mat ($30) from Gaiam and CafePress, featuring photos, text, and/or clip art of your choice, on your choice of background.
The out-there-but-why-not option is aimed straight at your mom's beachy side - would she like 6) her own cabana ($290)?
A merry Christmas to you and to your mom, Shannon, and thanks for thinking of us! Tell us if she likes them?
THANK you so much for the ideas. I know my Mom will love all of them. She even asked for one of those aeorators and a yoga mat for christmas, and I love the one you picked. So yall did GREAT. Thanks so much.
Thank you yourself, Shannon! (And if you buy the cabana, send us a picture?)

Breast Implant Revision Before and After Pictures by Tom J. Pousti, MD, FACS
This 29 year old from Arkansas was interested in revisionary breast surgery after her previous breast augmentation left her with an implant mal position. She was unsatisfied with her implant size, placement, and the "bottoming out" of her implants that she was experiencing. She began researching for a surgeon that performed a vast number of breast revision surgeries and would be able to achieve the best results for her. The patient found double board certified surgeon, Dr. Tom Pousti and immediately felt his credentials and knowledge of plastic surgery stood out from the rest of the surgeons she had found. After exchanging emails and telephone calls, the patient knew she had found her surgeon, and decided to fly to California to have her surgery performed. To correct the implant mal position, Dr. Pousti removed the patients previous implants, repaired the breast pocket using internal sutures, and replaced the old implants with 500cc silicone gel implants placed below the muscle. She is now 3 years post-op and extremely satisfied with her breast revision results.

Get Her Digits In 3 Minutes & More
This article is sponsored in part by DoubleYourDating.com (What's this?)
Yes, it's that time once again: The day we feature your dating and relationship questions. Although we would like to answer each one personally and with as much detail as possible, the overwhelming amount of inquiries forces us to highlight those that are most interesting to AskMen.com readers.
This week's Q&A focuses on getting her contact info in under three minutes, and being popular with the ladies. David DeAngelo, author of Double Your Dating: What Every Man Should Know About How To Be Successful With Women, has your answers.
I know you say that it's possible to get a woman's e-mail or number in under three minutes, but I simply don't believe you. It's impossible.I understand where you're coming from...
I would NEVER have believed that a woman would give out her number to a complete stranger in two or three minutes...
Until I watched some guys actually do it.
As soon as I saw it happen, it completely changed my idea of what is possible. You just need to get out there and take action. Next time you're talking to a woman, just say: "Hey, nice talking to you, but I have to get back to my friends (or what I was doing, etc.)."
Then, just as you're turning away, say: "Hey... Do you have e-mail?"
When she says yes, just take out a pen and paper and give it to her, expecting her to write it down. When she does, say, "Nice meeting you, I'll chat with you again when I have some more time...," and walk away.
Once you're comfortable doing that, start having them write their number down as well. It's really not that difficult.
I'm a nice, smart guy, but I'm not having any success with the ladies. I'm confused. Why don't women like stable, not-bad-looking guys like myself?First of all, you're not alone. I know that there are a lot of other men out there who are thinking, "I'm a nice, stable, intelligent guy... and I should be able to attract women."
You must realize that women don't really care if you're a nice guy. "Nice" doesn't light up their emotions and make them feel A GUT-LEVEL ATTRACTION.
What DOES make them feel it? You guessed it... teasing, humor, unpredictable behavior and that magical combination of being Cocky & Funny.
I heard a great theory once: Too many of us guys were raised by our MOTHERS, and not our fathers. Or, we were raised in a household where our mothers dominated our fathers. In either case, we learned how to please a MOTHER, not how to attract a LOVER.
Do yourself a favor and think for a moment about what it would be like to be an attractive woman in your mid-20s who is approached all the time by "nice" guys that want to take you out and bore you with conversation about the news and weather. Now ask yourself: "What kind of guy would instantly get my attention and cause me to feel an attraction to him?"
Women like the kind of personality that I prescribe. They like it the same way as we guys like firm, young bodies and beautiful faces. Think about it.

Government acts to repatriate illegal migrants
We succeeded in reducing entry into Israel's cities to zero. Now we are focusing on the issue of repatriating the illegal migrants who are already there. We are doing so while respecting all legal and international norms; we are acting very responsibly and very determinedly.

(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today (Sunday, 14 July 2013), held a special discussion to approve an action plan to repatriate illegal migrants.
At the start of a discussion PM Netanyahu made the following remarks:
"We are meeting today in order to advance the government plan to repatriate illegal migrants in Israel either to their countries of origin or to third countries. We are doing so in continuation of the action that was taken by my previous Government in which we blocked the phenomenon of illegal migration. This was an extraordinary achievement for the State of Israel because every Western country, to some extent, has failed to do this.
In effect, we succeeded in reducing entry into Israel's cities to zero. No illegal additional migrant has reached an Israeli city – not Tel Aviv, not Arad, not Eilat and not anywhere. Now we are focusing on the issue of repatriating the illegal migrants who are already there. We are doing so while respecting all legal and international norms; we are acting very responsibly and very determinedly. We started to move them out, we have already moved out several thousand, and we will continue to move them out of Israel's cities. There are severe problems there of crime, of tension, of employment, of sanitation. I am working with my ministerial colleagues, with Interior Minister Gideon Saar and Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch, in a combined effort to reach a solution to this problem. At the end of our term, we will be tested by it, as we were tested in the previous term by blocking the illegal migrants.
One must understand we are dealing with combined steps – physical, financial and legal. The combination of the fence and the law, which is now being put to a legal test; these are the tools that enabled the State of Israel to succeed up until now in doing the inconceivable. No other Western country has succeeded in blocking the large-scale entry of illegal migrants, and we succeeded in preventing any infiltrator from reaching Israel's cities. This is important. The combination of means, including legal, is what will enable us to succeed in repatriating the illegal migrants who are already in the State of Israel. This is possible. We are marking this as a goal. I am determined, and the ministers are determined, to implement this because we know that it is essential for the welfare of Israel's citizens and for its future as a Jewish and democratic state."
The plan that was approved focuses on repatriating illegal migrants either to their countries of origin or to third countries that will absorb them. The plan was also approved by legal authorities and will be implemented in conjunction with the Migration and Population Administration, the Israel Police and other relevant officials.
Participating in the discussion were Interior Minister Gideon Saar, Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch, Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein, Haggai Hadas, and representatives of – inter alia – the Migration and Population Administration, the Justice Ministry, the Finance Ministry, the Foreign Ministry and the Israel Police.
During the meeting, it was noted that the actions carried out by the government in the struggle against illegal migration led to a 99.6% drop in the number of migrants reaching Israel in the first half of 2013, as compared to the first half of 2012. In the first six months of the year, a mere 34 illegal migrants reached Israel's borders, as opposed to 9,570 last year. All illegal migrants who have arrived since June 2012 have been moved directly to holding facilities and none reached Israel's cities.
Blocking the phenomenon of illegal migration succeeded thanks to the Government's combined action plan which includes building a fence along the Western border and preventing illegal migrants from crossing the border. As of now, the Defense Ministry has completed over 235 kilometers of fence, and the remaining kilometers around Eilat will be completed soon.
At the same time, illegal migrants have been prevented from reaching Israel's cities. All illegal migrants who reach the border are moved directly to holding facilities, in accordance with the law on preventing illegal migration, which was initiated by the Government and which allows illegal migrants to be detained for up to three years.
Last month the Knesset approved, on its second and third readings, the law that bans illegal migrants from sending money beyond Israel's borders until they leave the country, as an additional step designed to reduce the number of illegal migrants.
Following the procedure which was approved by Attorney General Weinstein, the repatriation of illegal migrants from the Saharonim facility to their countries has resumed. A joint inter-ministerial team has also been established to work on combined enforcement in urban centers.
Interior Minister Saar said, "In my first tour of south Tel Aviv as Interior Minister, I presented the Government's policy: Repatriating illegal migrants to the countries or to third countries. In the past three months, we have taken several very significant steps to advance this policy. The main task is yet before us. This problem was not created in a day and it would be incorrect to create the illusion that it can be solved in a day. It is possible to say that every day there are fewer illegal migrants because the steps taken by the Netanyahu government have blocked entry and are advancing the opposite process. We are taking all these actions while guarding the image of the State of Israel and its values as a Jewish and democratic state. The objective is to maintain Israel as a Jewish and democratic state. We are all certainly determined to achieve this and we believe that we will succeed on the basis of that same determination that same progress. If we compare [Israel] to other Western countries, no country has similarly dealt with the same phenomenon."
Public Security Minister Aharonovitch said, "We have opened holding facilities and currently have the possibility of absorbing another 5,000 places for illegal migrants as soon as they are detained. At the same time, we are dealing with the phenomenon mainly – but not exclusively – in south Tel Aviv. We strengthened the local police station and added almost 200 officers to the Border Police unit. If there are illegal migrants involved in crime, we arrest them and move them to holding facilities."

URANGAN'S $60 million Rosewood eco-resort, a six-storey development on the Esplanade in Pialba and the building design for a Torquay shopping centre were all given a tick by Fraser Coast Regional Council on Wednesday.
In an unusual move, a security guard was present in the council chambers during the meeting, which was the final scheduled meeting for this calendar year.
The vote was 10-1 in Rosewood's favour in front of a packed public gallery including unhappy Butchulla people who interjected numerous times.
Division 10 councillor George Seymour voted against the development and was also the only dissenting voice on the 81-unit Esplanade resort that will front Beach Rd in Pialba.
The building design for the Torquay shopping centre, to be built on the corner of Denmans Camp Rd and Boat Harbour Dr, was passed unanimously.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A Los Angeles jury has convicted a career criminal in the serial killings of three women in the 1980s.
The jury on Tuesday found 74-year-old Samuel Little guilty of three counts of murder.
The victims were 41-year-old Carol Alford, whose body was found on July 13, 1987; 35-year-old Audrey Nelson, found on Aug. 14, 1989; and 46-year-old Guadalupe Apodaca, found on Sept. 3, 1989.
The prosecution was made possible by advances in DNA technology. Little was arrested in 2012 after detectives from Los Angeles found him living in Kentucky.
Prosecutor Beth Silverman has said Little is likely responsible for at least 40 killings nationwide dating back to 1980. Authorities in California, Florida, Kentucky, Missouri, Louisiana, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi and Ohio are scouring their cold-case files for possible ties to Little.

A Grand Theft Auto clone, also known as a GTA clone, is a term used by gamers and video game critics for a game that emulates, or has gameplay elements similar to the Grand Theft Auto series, following the success of Grand Theft Auto III in 2001. Specifically, a GTA clone is typically an action sandbox video game that usually contains a large free-roaming map that can be explored on foot or in a vehicle, with mission and side-missions displayed on a mini-map for the player.
Notable examples include the Saints Row series (2006-), The Simpsons Hit & Run (2003), Mafia (2002), and DRIV3R (2004), which was parodied and/or referenced several times in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The term also applies to games that, although it does not involve violence or wielding weapons, it still has elements similar or otherwise lifted from the GTA III era, such as Wreckless: The Yakuza Missions (2002), Spider-Man 2 (2004), Tony Hawk's Underground (2003), Bratz: Rock Angelz (2005) (which one of the reviews even called "GTA for girls", and, coincidentally, uses the same RenderWare engine as the GTA III series), Bratz: Forever Diamondz (2006) and Jaws Unleashed (2006).
Rockstar's response
As a result of such similarities, Rockstar has placed several Easter eggs to mock the competition.
In Grand Theft Auto III, Claude is tasked with a mission called "Two-Faced Tanner", where they must kill an undercover cop (that Asuka describes as "strangely animated"). This "Tanner" character is described as being "totally useless outside of his car", a reference to the uselessness of on-foot action in Driver 2. Rockstar even went as far as to give Tanner female walking animation.
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, during the mission "Autocide", the targets that Tommy Vercetti must kill are subtle references to the main characters of Driver 2 (Dick Tanner, after Tanner), The Getaway (Marcus Hammond and Franco Carter, after Mark Hammond and Frank Carter), and True Crime: Streets of LA (Nick Kong, after Nick Kang Wilson). DRIV3R responded by including enemies named "Timmy Vermicelli" (after Vice City protagonist Tommy Vercetti), who wore waterwings, since no one in the GTA series could swim before GTA: San Andreas.
As a mockery of DRIV3R, San Andreas included a mission where, while breaking into Madd Dogg's mansion, there is a man playing a video game and making fun of the way the main character walks (Tanner's walking animations were often criticized) and asking how "Refractions" (A spoof of Reflections Interactive, the designers of the Driver Series) could have "made something this bad".
Luxoflux, makers of True Crime: Streets of L.A., also responded by putting up billboards in their game mocking the Rockstar Games logo used to advertise jockstraps around Los Angeles, California. In response to the "Jockstrap" billboard, another San Andreas Easter egg mocks True Crime, which was depicted on several billboards in the city of Los Santos as "True Grime". This is also evident in the "TRUEGRIME" vehicle cheat code in San Andreas that spawns a garbage truck on input, mocking True Crime. One mission features Ryder, before entering and robbing a house, crying "Yeah, yeah, we gotta do it ninja style.", a coin phrase for the True Crime protagonist, Nick Kang. And in a cemetery in San Fierro, gravestones with "R.I.P. Opposition, 1997-2004" can be seen, as Rockstar implies that San Andreas has "killed" the competition.

Paying for Study Abroad
Culture Shock
Waiting Lists
All students participating in programs abroad, will be enrolled into their study abroad course by the Study Abroad Center. Being enrolled for the appropriate number of credit hours at UNI during your program abroad will release your UNI financial aid for the term to pay your program expenses. UNI students participating in an approved non-UNI program must also enroll for the appropriate term at UNI.
Students will be enrolled directly into UNI classes by the Study Abroad Center. These classes are taught by the program course leader. Normally, there will be 4-8 mandatory academic meetings the semester prior to departure -- and often you will complete work, such as a reflection essay, to be submitted after your return. Remember to direct questions regarding readings and/or homework for the course to your course leader.
Students will receive letter grades for all courses taken abroad and may use credit earned abroad to satisfy graduation requirements in major, minor, certificate, Liberal Arts Core, or UNI elective categories. ALL courses need to be approved prior to departure.
Research to determine which programs offer the appropriate academics.
Select your program.
Print off syllabi for each foreign courses.
Fill out Transfer Course Approval Form identifying your requested UNI course equivalencies. Remember, to attach the foreign course syllabi to your Transfer Course Approval Form.
For major, minor, or certificate courses: Have foreign course syllabi assessed by the appropriate UNI Department Head and obtain approval signatures for UNI equivalencies. College of Business Administration approvals need to go to Christine Schrage and Foreign Language approvals need to go through Jennifer Cooley.
For LAC or electives: Submit course syllabi and approval form to Study Abroad (28 Gilchrist). Course equivalencies will be evaluated by the Office of Admissions.
Remember: Approval Signatures are Required!
Once your Transfer Course Approval Form is completed, the original will be housed in your Study Abroad Center file -- but it's good to keep a copy for yourself! After you complete your program, the foreign institution will mail your official transcript to the Study Abroad Center (this can take time).
Students who will be participating in an intensive language program abroad (Spanish, French, German, etc.) and are typically placed in a specific level via placement test, will need to complete the Modern Language Agreement Form from your iUNI portal application page. You will need to receive a signature from a faculty member in the Department of Modern Languages. After the signature is obtained, the form constitutes an agreement that courses you complete abroad will count toward your degree at UNI. This form also needs to be returned to the Study Abroad Center prior to departure.
According to the Office of Admissions, your grades transfer back as "letter grade credit" unless you request this requirement to be waived before you leave to go abroad. Permission for the waiver must be sought and received from the Office of Admissions and the Study Abroad Center. Deadlines and other guidelines are published in the Schedule of Classes and in the UNI Catalog. A request to change graded credit to pass/fail (or pass/fail to graded credit) must be made by the mid-semester deadline published in the UNI Schedule of Classes.
Whether pass/fail credit may be applied to meet exact requirements in a major, minor, or a certificate is a departmental decision. Some departments will not allow you to use pass/fail courses to meet required courses toward a major or minor. Check with the department head if you are unsure of the details.
After your study abroad program is complete, the foreign institution should mail your official transcript to the Study Abroad Center only. After your foreign transcript has arrived at UNI, the Office of Admissions will be posting your final grades to your Campus Solutions account under the tab "Transfer Credit". Please give the Office of Admissions 2-4 weeks to process your transcript.
For spring or summer participants, foreign transcripts typically arrive between June-October
For fall participants, foreign transcripts typically arrive between January-April

TEMPE -- Dallas Escobedo and Amber Freeman have been named 2014 NFCA Division I Second-Team All-Americans, the National Fastpitch Coaches Association announced on Wednesday afternoon.
For Escobedo, it was the third All-American honor of her career. That put her in the elite company of Katelyn Boyd, Katie Cochran, Phelan Wright and pioneer Paula Noel as the only Sun Devils to become All-Americans at least three times (Cochran is the only to do it four times).
It was the second selection of Amber Freeman's career who will return to the Sun Devils as a senior next season. Freeman's selection is especially noticeable as only three catchers are selected in total for the All-America team.
Escobedo finished her career as one of the most decorated Sun Devils in any sport, with one national championship and three trips to the Women's College World Series under her belt.
The senior finished with a 1.95 ERA and a 24-9 record this season with an incredible 336 strikeouts to just 59 walks. She pitched 12 shutouts on the season and 30 complete games while holding opponents to just a 1.83 batting average.
Escobedo finished her career with a 115-26 all-time record (.815 winning percentage) and a 2.01 career ERA. She can three wins shy of matching Katie Burkhart's school record of 118 victories.
She finished her career with 1,222 strikeouts, good for second in ASU history. She became just the 14th player in Pac-12 history to accomplish the 1,000 strikeout feat and finds herself 33rd in NCAA career history and sixth in Pac-12 lore for total strikeouts.
Escobedo reached the 300 strikeout plateau in three different seasons and holds the fourth, fifth and sixth highest strikeout totals for a single season in program history.
The junior finished the season with a career-high .406 batting average with a .659 slugging percentage and 11 home runs. She now has 41 career home runs and will enter her senior season ranked fifth in ASU history in the category.
Her .406 season batting average was the fifth-best single single average in program history. Freeman was ASU's most consistent hitter throughout the year and finished with a team-leading .480 on-base percentage.
Freeman hit safely in all but 10 games on the season (including 27 of the last 31) and reached base in all but five games of the 57 appearances she has made. Additionally, Freeman had just one single error on the year, recording 318 putouts and 11 assists for a an almost perfect .997 fielding percentage. She led the team in most games with multiple hits, doing so in 18 games while tied for the team lead in games with three or more hits with five.
Freeman, the 2013 Pac-12 Player of the Year, was recently named to the Academic All-American team for the first time in her career. The junior catcher boasts a 3.43 GPA in health sciences.
Wednesday's selection marked the 38th and 39th overall All-America selections for the ASU softball in program history. ASU has now generated 21 of those All-Americans since 2006.

Does anyone have any advice on how to proceed here? Just taking disks offline seems a bit harsh and as far as I can see there is no resize option.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers continued their chart topping ways this week, hitting No. 1 spot on Billboard's newly created Artist 100 chart. The new chart ranks artist activity across Billboard's most influential charts, which includes the Billboard Hot 100, Billboard 200 and Social 50, as well as others.
According to an article posted Aug. 7 at Billboard.com, the veteran Florida rockers' latest release Hypnotic Eye debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 earlier this week, earning the band their first chart topping album in their entire 38-year career. The attention generated from the release and accompanying tour also boosted sales of the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's 1993 Greatest Hits package, which has jumped to No. 71 on the album chart and helped the "Free Falling" hitmaker lock up top spot on the Artist 100.
Hypnotic Eye hit shelves to critical acclaim on July 29 and marks the 13th collaboration between Petty and the Heartbreakers. Posting to their official Facebook page, the band thanked fans for the album's success, writing, Hypnotic Eye is the number one album in the U.S and Canada! Tom and the band thank you, the fans, for all of your support!"
Petty and company have been busy making appearances to promote the album, which included a high profile appearance July 31 on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The Hypnotic Eye Tour kicked off Aug. 3 in San Diego, Calif. at Viejas Arena and wraps up with a newly added second show Oct. 10-11 in Inglewood, California, at The Forum.
The Canadian leg begins Aug. 14 in Vancouver, B.C. at Rogers Arena and finishes Aug. 28 at Montreal's Bell Centre. Fans purchasing a concert ticket will receive a copy of the new record.
Petty and band will also make a couple of festival headline appearances, which include Aug. 9 in San Francisco at Outside Land Music and Arts Festival, as well as Sept. 6 in Arlington, Virginia, at Interlocking Music Festival. For more details, click here.
Did you know? Although most of their material is produced and performed under the name "The Heartbreakers", Tom Petty has also released three solo albums, the most successful being 1989's Full Moon Fever. In these releases, members of the band contributed as studio musicians.

Many companies use retreats as a way to build morale, encourage teamwork and set goals. With the fiscal year ending for many businesses in the next couple of months, the timing is excellent for planning a retreat. The process can be as much of a challenge as the work done on a regular basis.
Below are some suggestions on how to make a retreat a fun and productive way to build working relationships and establish company goals.
Avoid stale, outdated activities. Nearly everyone has participated in the "trust fall" exercise by now. Planners should try to come up with fresh ideas for participants. Brainstorming with a few coworkers is always a good idea when planning any company event. Avoid the typical "planning committee" title, keep the official planners to a maximum of two or three people and keep any discussion as an informal as possible.
Have a flexible agenda. Planning ahead is a key to a successful retreat, but there should be room for flexibility. People in charge need to make sure that the schedule is not so rigid that unexpected events don't throw things off too much. One suggestion is to plan for only seven hours instead of eight. This will allow time for any activities that run overtime. Likewise that hour isn't used, knocking an hour off at the end of the typical work day will contribute positively to the participants' morale and make the retreat even more worthwhile.
Get the participants involved. Planning some activities that require physical movement will ensure that people are engaged. Another idea is to offer realistic, but not cheesy, prizes for participation. There is no reason to break the budget on extravagant rewards for winning any competitions. Keep it simple; a free lunch can go a long way. If a bigger prize is in the offing, give the best participant some extra time off (half or full day of vacation).
Throw out the dress code. While tank tops, flip-flops and unwashed hair are not good, allowing a Casual Friday-type dress code during an all-day Wednesday retreat will let staffers know that management is serious about having a fun day. No one wants to run a three-legged race while wearing a business suit.
Keep in mind that people are still at work. All fun would be great, but the business has to come first. This is a great time to teach new skills, develop some company goals for the upcoming fiscal year and to share accomplishments of each department over the past twelve months. Again, interaction is a key.
When it comes to meetings during the retreat, avoid lectures. Interactive training is a key to adult education. Encourage participation whenever possible. Avoid discussing new HR policies. This event is meant to be fun; avoid discussing things that are too serious or boring.
Encourage outside interaction. During group activities or during lunch, plan for people from various departments to be in groups together. This will foster communication and sharing of ideas. It is very possible that the bookish guy from IT may learn something valuable from the marketing supervisor.
Company leaders need to let their hair down. While the CEO needs to maintain a business-like approach, this is also a good time to allow subordinates to see him or her in a more relaxed and fun atmosphere.
If alcohol is served, do so responsibly. No one wants to remember the retreat because it was the time Bob got drunk and ran naked through the hotel lobby. Inform staffers ahead of time what is expected and if possible, hand the bartender some extra cash to water down the booze midway through the evening.

Finally, cool looking storage ($50-$70) that will last a lifetime, literally. We love these vintage style trunks because we can fill them with all those out-of-season clothes we're not wearing and free up enough space in our closet to hold a cotillion. Okay, maybe no grand galas in our closet, but at least now we have room for the things we really do need, like our little black dress.

Michael Shack works at the Ashland Home Depot. But for the grand opening of the Steelyard Commons location, he was in line looking for a good deal with around 500 others who waited below the bright orange sign promising guidance on all those do-it-yourself jobs.
Shack and his wife, Karen Sotka, purchased facial tissue, rags and a $12 space heater. "I would have bought it at my store, but it was $16 more," Shack concedes.
That's the kind of draw developer Mitchell Schneider is counting on for the $120 million Steelyard Commons, which will host big-box retailers including a 124,000-square-foot Target Store and a 217,000-square-foot Wal-Mart Supercenter. More than 360,000 people live within a 5-mile radius of the shopping center, and the Wal-Mart (opening in September), Best Buy and Target will be the first in the city.
Mike Collins, Home Depot store manager, says this location offers amenities beyond others in the area, including dual-language signage, a 28,000-square-foot garden center with a heated houseplant area, and expanded departments, such as a 2,000-square-foot bath showroom.
While many have argued that huge retailers will hurt small, locally owned businesses, several shoppers downplayed the concerns.
"I'm excited," says Bill Morgan of Collins Equipment on West 55th Street, who was shopping for hardware supplies. "We did business with the former steel mill. I'm glad to see something viable is being done. We needed this."
"My wife grew up a few streets away," says Dave Demer of Avon, who is opening a Great Clips hair salon franchise at Steelyard Commons this month. "We believe in the area. We think it's the kind of thing that can turn the city around."

Olympic curling has the world watching the ice as the teams battle it out. If not in Sochi, viewers can watch the program on live stream and it's nothing like any other sport. The equipment is different, the pace of the game is different and some could even suggest the crowds are intense as they watch the action unfold live. According to Sports Illustrated on Friday, the men's Olympic curling event is currently in three way tie for first place. China, Sweden and Britain are currently battling it out on Friday. As curling fans know, it's the Canadian men who are favorite and two-time defending champions so at the moment the competition has some new leaders, but the games are not over yet.
Another intriguing part of the Olympic curling games is all the curious moments at the games. The poses, the fans and even the connection the players have is quite spectacular. If offers a look at the game in a very interesting way and reminds all the fans that the athletes might not be flying down a ice or skating on a blade, but the sport is still very important.
Did you catch all the action on the ice Friday? More importantly did you see all the curious moments that happened as the games were going on? If not, take a look at the photo slideshow of the Olympic curling in Sochi on Friday. Our favorite picture? The fan who showed up wearing a horse head! Who would do that in an Olympic figure skating competition? Obviously Olympic curling is special!

Growth in Euxina circumdata
Tonite's graph shows the growth of foot relative to that of shell in the land snail Euxina circumdata. The blue line is a hypothetical case where growth is isometric, that is, the lengths of the foot and the shell remain equal to each other during growth. The red circles are the actual data for Euxina circumdata.
The largest snail was an adult, while the rest were juveniles. It is clear that in very small snails the foot is almost as long as the shell. But the shell grows much faster than the foot. As a result, in adult snails, the foot is shorter than half of the shell.
What this all means may the be the subject of a future post provided that I can come up with a meaningful explanation.

(WEAU) – People gathered to learn more and sign up for the Forest St. Community Garden.
A membership drive was held at the Eau Claire Community Table Monday night. This will be the fourth season for the community garden. An individual membership costs $10, while a family membership is $20.
A coordinator of the project says the garden is not just for those who don't have space or land for a plot of their own. One of the garden coordinators Kerri Kiernan says "this garden is great for people who are new at gardening, for people who aren't going to be around all summer. So if you're going to be gone for a week, sometimes you got to find someone to take care of your garden and that can be difficult so this garden is great for if you can't be there the whole time."
Members get access to the shared volunteer garden and the produce is shared. Extra produce is donated to the Community Table of Eau Claire.

TUCSON - After Saturday's 39-36 win over then-No. 10 USC, the University of Arizona football team is back in the Associated Press Top-25, sitting at No. 24, for the first time since Sun., Sept. 16 after the 56-0 win over South Carolina State when the Cats were ranked No. 22. Arizona is also receiving votes for the USA Today/Coaches' Top 25.
UA (5-3, 2-3 Pac-12) defeated its second AP Top-25 opponent of the season (then-No. 18 Oklahoma State on Sept. 8) and 2012 marks the first time since 2008 that the Wildcats defeated two ranked teams in the same season (No. 25 California and vs. No. 17 BYU). The victory over the Cougars was in the Las Vegas Bowl, leaving the 2006 season as the last time UA knocked off a pair of ranked foes in the same regular season (at No. 25 Washington State and No. 8 California). Arizona has now defeated two AP Top-25 teams in the same season at home for the first time since 1992 (23-3 victory over No. 11 UCLA and 16-3 upset of No. 1-ranked Washington).
In the AP Top-25 poll, Arizona sits at No. 24. UA is one of six Pac-12 schools listed with Oregon at No. 2, Oregon State at No. 13, Stanford at No. 15, No. 18 USC and No. 25 UCLA. With the Bruins also back in the top 25, the Wildcats will face their sixth ranked opponent of the season on Saturday.
In Saturday's win over the Trojans, senior quarterback Matt Scott racked up 469 yards of total offense with four total touchdowns and Wildcats rallied from a 15-point deficit. Scott was 27-for-50 passing for 369 yards with three touchdowns and one interception, while carrying the ball 15 times for 100 yards with a score on the ground.
Junior linebacker Marquis Flowers led the defensive effort with two interceptions for 14 yards and a forced fumble to go with his seven tackles. The unit recorded two sacks for a loss of seven yards and a total of four tackles for a loss of 13 yards. Sophomore safety Tra'Mayne Bondurant paced the squad in tackles with 11 while also recovering a fumble.
Arizona hits the road on Sat., Nov. 3 for a matchup at UCLA. The game is slated for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff and will air live on the Pac-12 Networks.

The Denver Broncos made their seventh Super Bowl appearance on Feb. 2. However, the Broncos' Super Bowl history can be divided into two periods -- the blowout losses of the 1980s, and the triumphs of the late 1990s. Yet this third period of Denver Super Bowl history harkened back to the first, as Peyton Manning was shocked and beaten almost as much as John Elway was in the 80s, in a 43-8 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
The tone was set when crowd noise and miscommunication with center Manny Ramirez resulted in the first snap of the game flying right past Manning, causing a safety. After the Seahawks drove for a subsequent field goal, the Broncos went three-and-out and then gave up another field goal. However, Denver was still down by a manageable 8-0.
Manning began to make it less than manageable after throwing an interception to Kam Chancellor, which the Seahawks took advantage of for their first touchdown. The most prolific offense of all time was down 15-0 and hadn't gotten one first down after 15+ minutes, yet the Broncos converted several third downs on their next drive to get into field goal range.
The last third down of the drive was the Super Bowl clinching dagger, for all intents and purposes. Manning's second interception went into eventual MVP Malcolm Smith's hands, with his legs carrying him 69 yards into the opposing end zone. Once the Broncos drove down again and were stopped on fourth down in the red zone, the first half mercifully ended with a 22-0 deficit -- which became 29-0 when Percy Harvin ran untouched into the end zone on the second half kickoff.
Manning and the Broncos were stalled short of field goal range on the next drive, with coach John Fox throwing in the towel by calling a punt. Yet the Super Bowl went on for another 20+ minutes, as the Seahawks still increased the lead to 43-8 by the time it was all over.
Elway's 55-10 defeat to the San Francisco 49ers in 1989 remains as the worst Super Bowl loss of all time. Of course, if the first quarter went any worse for the Broncos, they might have surpassed their predecessors from 25 years ago. That was the only break Manning and Denver got in their blast from championship failures past.

Google, Please Don't Kill Video on the Web
It wasn't long ago that freetards got paranoid about H.264 video when they realized it was to be the default format supported by the HTML5 video tag. They claimed it wasn't free and open enough and that could be abused.
Then along comes Google, the champion of freetards everywhere, who bought Motorola and in doing so, gained access to several H.264 patents. Did Google decide to "do no evil" with said patents? Of course not, they demanded royalties on an astronomical scale.
"Microsoft said Motorola wants that $22.50 royalty payment for just 50 standards-essential patents, yet a group of 29 companies that holds the other 2,300 patents related to H.264 is charging Microsoft just 2¢."
"That's right. Just 2¢ for use of more than 2,300 patents," Heiner wrote. "(Windows qualifies for a nice volume discount, but no firm has to pay more than 20 cents per unit.) Motorola is demanding that Microsoft pay more than 1,000 times that for use of just 50 patents."
Didn't I just do this one?
Still needs pointing up, though. I grew up with hypocrites who started off as Maoists and ended up as Merchant Bankers. If anything, this strikes me as an accelerated version of the same, morally despicable, tendency.
(I will of course apologise for my errors once Google sends me to their re-education camp in Mountain View. Please, Brer Fox, not the tar patch!)
Can't wait until Kurkos chips in, though.
IPredict(TM): Bullies get what they deserve.
Or, I am morally convinced that huge profit-grubbing corporations have no right to charge anybody else for bogus patents with prior art.
Or even both.
I'll get the popcorn; you provide the comfy chairs.
Also, before this thread degenerates:
Loons are _against_ FRAND, because Microsoft and Apple came out in favour of it.
Google and Motorola are _against_ FRAND because ... well, because ... they can make $22.50 a pop if it isn't considered to be an "industry standard."
Shame about the little guys who are only making 2¢s a pop, innit?
It's a heavy price we have to pay for somebody else's notion of freedom, but at least it's quantifiable:
To a company that actually doesn't really need it, because it isn't even part of their business plan.
I'm not using the cute formatting buttons, am I? Old habits die hard.
Oh, Google. Will they ever stop being hypocritic whiny wimpy kids?
It's particularly ironic, given their track record in this area and collaboration with patent trolls
Do they by any chance mean Intellectual Ventures? Oh the irony.
Oh, and it's not 22.50 - it's 2.25% of the full device price.
Now imagine a plane with embedded monitors to play videos (or with on-board WiFi for the second case of Motorola's patent abuse). Price for those 2300 patents remain flat, while Motorola demands millions USD for their 50.
Of course, the really interesting thing here is what the Loons will say when the EU court makes a judgement.
Joy unconstrained if Google and Motorola are given a free pass, of course. IPredict(TM) the word "competition" will come up a lot, combined with "fighting the IllegalMonopoly(TM)."
But ... but ... if for some reason the EU comes to their senses and recognises that FRAND is actually quite close to the core values of the EU (yes, Kurkos, I know it doesn't make it right, I'm just saying there's an obvious congruence)?
In short, if the EU bitch-slaps Google on a suit brought by Microsoft and Apple, there's gonna be Hell to pay.
AKA. Butthurt patent troll Mafia$oft whining that they might actually have to pay people to use their patented technology.
Funny how the shoe fits on the other foot! What a stupid pissant excuse for a company.
So it's okay when Google does it? Why aren't you railing against them like you did Microsoft?
Funny how the shoe fits on the other foot!
Adam, it's "not so fun when the shoe's on the other foot", just to let you know.
If you can't tell the difference between Google and Mafia$oft, I can't help you.
Google is a company that is the leader of technological innovation and the steward of the information age. Mafia$oft is a company that makes most of its money by making things defective by design and artificially scarce.
They're both big companies that can throw their weight around. That's it. They're using their clout to screw over users. Not to mention that if they make things too expensive for other vendors, those other vendors will choose another format, further fragmenting the market.
A leader in innovation? They polish old ideas; Gmail wasn't the first web mail, Google Maps wasn't the first mapping service, Google+ was their response to Facebook, Google Video doesn't even exist since they gave up and bought YouTube, etc.
Innovation != invention
Google has done more to advance the quality and usefulness of the Internet than any other company in existence. And they understand the implications of the information age better than anyone else.
Stop trying to conflate Mafia$oft with Google, Mafia$oft is a company that hates FOSS, hates Internet freedom, hates writing products that don't contain anti-user features (DRM, "CALs") and limiting usefulness of what they work on, all in order to save their backwards business model.
So yes, I will hold Google to a different standard than Mafia$oft. Just like Mother Teresa to a different standard than Hitler.
If Microsoft hates FOSS why are they backing JQuery and Google isn't? Why has Microsoft released two JQuery plugins that are so signficant that they're being built into the core? Why are both sources fully available on GitHub? And why hasn't Google released any of the new Android source or pushed their changes upstream?
Furthermore, where's the source to GMail, Google Maps, Google Earth, Google Docs, YouTube, Google+, etc? Hell, Google+ doesn't even have an API yet.
Can you actually answer those questions or are you just going to spin your rhetoric some more?
It seems Mafia$oft has a few freetards working for them. Woopie doo.
The fact of the matter is Mafia$oft's business model is so diametrically opposed to FOSS that any contributions ring as hollow gestures of "see, we aren't so bad", not of any fundamental change in their manner of business.
When did I defend Microsoft? I'm asking you to hold Google to the same standards of criticism that you hold Microsoft since they're both worthy of being criticized; All large organizations are.
And you didn't answer my question about the missing source code for Google search, GMail, Google Map, Google Earth, Google Docs, YouTube, Google+, Google Translate, Google Calendar, etc.
Even Google Code's source isn't available on their own code hosting service.
Where are their search algorhythms so that I might take them and apply them to my own projects? Where is the code that demonstrates their multi-user editing in Google Docs? Where are their translation libraries so that I might translate content on my sites? Oh wait, GOOGLE ISN'T OPEN SOURCE!
You don't get it Administrator. Sure Google has proprietary stuff, but they have a business that isn't threatened by FOSS. Google don't make their money selling software like it has some kind of limited ability to be used and copied. Mafia$oft is the MAFIAA of software, the company that sticks out like a sore thumb in any industry that is increasingly becoming discontent with mass media.
And yes they supported SOPA and PIPA (until it became stupid to do so), because it's in their business interests to have insane levels of copyright enforcement. This company hates Internet freedom and hates FOSS and quite frankly hates you. Django developer.
Actually, you don't want to have access to Google's search algorithms. It's a dirty little secret of the search engine world that the algorithms involved are not God-like, but distinctly mortal. In fact, mostly what a search engine does is to collect and index a massive amount of data (obviously) and then effectively rely on the users to rank it for them, via machine learning.
Think this stuff is done in real time? Think again. 99% of it is done off-line and relies on nothing much more than a very large captive audience and a brute-force approach.
I'm of the opinion that the reason that Google doesn't Free Teh Codez is not because those codez contain Secret Sauce. It's actually because they don't contain Secret Sauce. Making this fact public would rather destroy the illusion.
On a purely hypothetical basis, I would extend this to all the other things that Google doesn't make publicly available. It's a slippery slope. If you make the source to GMail, Google+, etc etc free and open, people are bound to ask about the search engine stuff. What would the defence be?
Actually Microsoft was against SOPA from the beginning, but go ahead and continue to lie.
Actually Microsoft was against SOPA from the beginning, but go ahead and continue to lie.
I thought that they were for SOPA at first but then decided that it was too extreme and droped support for it. Either way, they eventually droped support for SOPA which is more than can be said for Apple (which Adam doesn't seem to hate as much as MS for some reason).
Well, Apple isn't Microsoft. Duh.
It's a nominalist thing. Sticking labels on a primitive religious experience is an important thing if you live in the Stone Age.
Actually thinking about what lies behind the labels ... Well, that's something we in the Western world try to inculcate into impressionable young minds by the age of, say, fourteen.
Occasionally it does not catch.
Probably why they were being called the Linux Youth for quite a while.
Probably why they were being called the Linux Youth for quite a while.
Only now, they're adults (except maybe for Adam). And yet they're as childish as ever.
Adam probably doesn't even get where the term comes from. He probably just thinks we mean "kids who use Linux".

Hi everyone
i was very pleased to hear on the hampton court show..when talking to the butterfly man from eden project.. that they have found the rare large tortoise shell butterfly here on my very own isle of wight..
i have been transforming my garden over the last year to have more plants for bees and butterflies.. and i must say i have had lots of butterflies this year.. and am awaiting the siting of this rare one.. we have had two butterflies this week come in doors while the doors are open.. one was a peacock and the other a painted lady.. large one too.. i so enjoy them as they flutter around..
has anyone else got lots of butterflies this year... if you have any pics please add them.. i have not been able to take any so far this year as camera is playing up when i try to use the close up selection..
i love gardening and it makes you happy and it also takes you away from all your torubles.. as you wander round dead heading or digging or planting.. your mind is suddenly taken to where you are thinkin about moving that plant in the autumn as it doesnt look quite right there.. or that you will change the colour scheme next year and gor for plants that wow y and impact out.. or that the borders need to be bigger because you cant get the plants you have just bought or or grown from your cuttings and need to go in.. and you have no room left.
and then wanders off to think oooh! must take cuttings or collect those seed heads and grow some more of those next year as i like them
then stop to have chat with the lady who has just stopped to admire your garden and buy few plants you have for sale.... as you grew far too many this year again... and talk gardening and all things plants and nature for a good half hour.. before you get back to it.. before finding yourself thinkg "oh could do with a cuppa" and head off to make one then wander back to your favourite bench to sit and admire your handywork.. and smile as you enjoy the flowers and buzz of bees and birds singing.
or is that just me i found it a complete healer when dealing with my husbands cancer.. it as only place i could go to forget it for just an hour or two.
i dont mind pigeons in my garden.. the clean up the dropped food so none left for the rats that live under the railway line... but i do protest that they sit on our ariel and bend it and sit on the climbing frame and poop over it.. so i have to clean it all time before kids can go on it.. well they used to poop on it and bend it.. not now with the spikes..
to deter the rooks etc.. i have a piece of foam hanging from the tree with feathers i have found that are black stuck in it.. that keeps them away..
but i do loudly protest about the damn seagulls.. they are a nightmare and with young noe they are becoming rather dangerous to be outside with.. and they are very noisey from 3am onwards.. after only be settling down for the night at 11pmish..
i love all birds.. but just find some are a nusiance..they are big and heavy handed and brek my feeders constantly..
we have the sparow hawk come in often and take a few while they are feeding.. that is nature.. i am fine with that.. it is amazing to watch.. i just like to keep the big bully birds away long enough for the smaller ones to get a look in
on another note thou.. we got the spikes you can stick or nail on.. for our ariel and chimmney.. they used to sit on there .. so got the smaller plastic spikes and glued them on and no bother now.. got the really long ones to stop the seagulls nesting as very noisy and they have worked.
for our kids climbing frame.. as they loved that and i got fed up with cleaning the poo off.. we brought packsof poundland meat scewers and piece of plastic hollow tubing about 6cm across drilled holes in it and bent the scewers and glued them after pushing through.. then attached to the poles at top of frame with wire ties.. had no problem since..
i have seen those flying birds or prey.. look like kites... attache dto house few streets away.. it is very high and and moves like a bird up and down on the breeze.. thought good idea keep pigeons and rooks away.. so went knocked on there door sunday as asked.
they siad yeah keeps them away alright.. i asked about the smaller birds i feed.. they sid it will keep all birds away... so very good does its job.
so i wont be having myself one as i feed the birds and dont want rid of them.. so will have to put up with them..
super garden verdun.. must say i am little envious of your well manicured lawn and shrubs.. stuffed full or gorgeousness
i also have some fuschias i need identifying.. i go them in a bulk lot and they ar enot what i asked for.. and no labels came with them.. so if anyone can help me.. i would appreciate it..
these are all of them.. some i know what they are they have labels
but the next ones i have no idea..
this one has pale pink outer leaves
then this one
then this one.. which has got leaves that are starting to turn yellow.. i have it in full sun during afternoon and evening.. is this why.
loving those spuds.. i have not been n much as not been out in garden much due to heat and playin gup my arthritis.. but here is some of our veg etc.
this is our peas.. have had quite a few harvests of these now.
our runner beans.. had first crop from these yesterday.. very nice they were.
and this is my poor celery.. stuck in the middle.. pipes taken off as got big.. so ready to harvest one soon..yum yum..
and these are our broc and sprouts.. didtn realise how big they get.
tina turner .. get a dog whistle.. it works wonders.. we have them onthe cliff path yapping at 5am in the morning.. and owners do nothing to stop them..
zoomer.. that is not on.. maybe you should continue with the council/landlord and inform them you will take legal action if they dont do anything.. also try taking a small recording device out with you.. so as to get some evidence of his verbal abuse.
daydaisy.. thank you.. once the heat and air pressure and humidity go..i will fgeel better.
we normally do have a breeze.. or should i say stiff strong breeze going onto very windy all the time.. but this last few weeks.. there is only a breath of air up on the cliffs.. so not normal for us.. must ay the washing is dry within an hour of putting out.. so that is good.. gets lots done..
