The spiders that were included as part of the Reaper Bones Kickstarter were originally part of the Dungeon Vermin set, but they don't look quite the same. For one, the spiders are not on any sort of base. This is curious, as these miniatures are one of the few that aren't based in some way -- I glued them to medium-sized 1-inch bases. For another, the spiders are rearing up with their two forelegs in an aggressive stance, which differs from the placid-looking spiders that are part of the Dungeon Vermin set. Given the choice, I prefer the aggressive spider sculpt.
I painted these spiders poisonous colors, but they lose points for being unbased. You can purchase this miniature at Amazon.

Creaceed (http://www.creaceed.com) has released Hydra 2.2 The upgrade addresses a major feature request from the HDR user community: an HDR plug-In for Adobe's Photoshop Lightroom.
All Hydra's features are from now on available directly in the Lightroom workflow. From a series of regular photographs of the same scene, the plug-in creates an High Dynamic Range image that's much closer to what your eyes actually see, according to the folks at Creaceed.
Hydra 2.2 works with Mac OS X 10.5 and higher. It's Universal Binary so runs natively on both PowerPC and Intel Macs.
A time-unlimited trial version of Hydra and the Lightroom Plug-In is available in English, French, German, Italian and Japanese on Creaceed's web site. The demo version generates watermarked image files. A license key for Hydra 2.x costs US$79.95, and can be used for registering both the stand-alone version and the plug-Ins. The upgrade is free for Hydra 2.x registered users. The upgrade from Hydra 1.x costs $19.95.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Department of Health and Human Services each had proposed rulemaking changes published Tuesday in the Federal Register as part of Obama administration executive actions to further restrict the eligibility requirements for lawful possession of firearms. Among other changes, the ATF proposal would include those with involuntary outpatient commitments among prohibited persons, and the HHS notice would eliminate state privacy restrictions about sharing the identities of individuals.
An "Amended Definition of 'Adjudicated as a Mental Defective' and 'Committed to a Mental Institution'," signed by Attorney General Eric Holder on January 2, and a notice of proposed rulemaking titled "Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule and the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS)," signed on December 31 by HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, are the latest moves by an administration intent on accomplishing through the executive what the people's representatives in the legislature have not enacted.
While "gun control" advocates are positioned to exploit opposition to the rule changes as obstruction of "common sense" gun laws, many valid concerns must be identified and explored, and there is a provision for doing that through public feedback.
The comment period for the ATF proposal extends to 90 days, and will end on April 7. Comments may be submitted via the online form at Regulations.gov.
The comment period for the HHS proposal will end in 62 days, on March 10. Comments can be submitted via an online form at Regulations.gov.
As with all such comment opportunities, it is important to provide observations and concerns that will be practically and legally useful, particularly if enacted rules ignoring legitimate concerns provoke legal challenge. This column will monitor gun rights groups and other sources with the intent of sharing their analyses and recommendations for effective communications. That will include protections against mental health "blanket dragnets," ensuring rights have been protected in all "adjudications" resulting in a firearms disability, and verifying valid and affordable means exist for having recognition of rights restored.
If you're a regular Gun Rights Examiner reader and believe it provides news and perspectives you won't find in the mainstream press, please subscribe to this column and help spread the word by sharing links, promoting it on social media like Facebook (David Codrea) and Twitter (@dcodrea), and telling your like-minded friends about it. And for more commentary, be sure to visit "The War on Guns: Notes from the Resistance."
When your turn to be tested comes, how will you fare? Wouldn't it be better to stop the antis before they get that far? How can we, if most gun owners let a relative handful of activists do all the work? The latest GUNS Magazine "Rights Watch" column is online, and you can read it before the issue hits the stands.

Join us on a fantastic voyage!
In June, 2002, GoNOMAD Founder and Senior Editor, Lauryn Axelrod, took off on a GoNOMAD ALTERNATIVE ADVENTURE – a fantastic, year-long journey that took her and her 12-year old son, Joshua, from the jungles of Asia to the savannahs of Africa, from the museums of Europe to the beaches of the South Pacific, and more.
This was no ordinary "around-the world" trip: well beyond sightseeing (OK, some sightseeing), Lauryn and Josh sought out new alternative destinations, lodgings, tours, transports, activities, and learning and volunteer opportunities to bring to GoNOMAD readers!
Lauryn and Josh's Around the World route
With the help of GoNOMAD NETWORK MEMBERS along the way,
Lauryn and Josh had the opportunity to:
§ stay in castles in Ireland
§ sleep in a haystack in Germany
and much, much more!
Lauryn reported back to us with articles, photographs, sounds and video! There's plenty of "how-to" information so you can plan your own Alternative Adventure, and since Lauryn was joined by her 12 year-old son, Joshua, there is lots of family travel information, too!
So, make sure to checkout the GoNOMAD ALTERNATIVE ADVENTURE,
and "Go Nomad" with us!

Like many rural areas of the Western world, Bayfield County, Wisconsin and Hitra and Frøya, Norway have experienced numerous shifts in their local economies, populations, and landscapes over recent decades. While traditional occupations and ways of living persist, the wondrous natural amenities of each area have attracted new residents and new uses for these land- and water-based resources. This book utilizes photos taken by people of these places and their insights to present a portrait of rural communities across the ocean from one another, yet in a very similar boat at the dawn of the 21st century.
Paul Van Auken defended his dissertation in rural sociology entitled Nature, Community, Commodity: Shifting Landscapes and Social Relations in Rural Amenity Areas of Wisconsin and Norway at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in August of 2007. He began teaching at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh a couple weeks later and is thrilled to be a member of the sociology and environmental studies departments. A native Iowan, Van Auken has called Wisconsin home since 1999. He was raised with a very strong connection to Norway; his mother grew up there and he was able to visit his grandparents and other relatives many times over the years, spending most of the time at a rustic but comfortable family cabin in Gudbrandsdalen. He lives with his wife and young daughter in an old house in Oshkosh and can (barely) see the lake from their porch.

In the last show of the summer season, Jack goes for a leisurely spin around the Welsh borders with local cyclist Owen Davies as his guide, from Abergavenny to Monmouth and back, past Raglan Castle, Rockfield recording studios and the unlikely Welsh residence of the notorious Nazi politician Rudolf Hess.

A Ride in Border Country
C'est Magnifique! C'est le Tour de France!
This year's Tour de France was the hundredth edition of the world's biggest and best bicycle race – and it proved to be a race to remember. Jack Thurston talks with 'Buffalo' Bill Chidley about three weeks of outstanding bike racing. Next year the Tour will begin in Yorkshire and cycling journalist Peter Cossins is already excited about the race passing right by his house in Ilkley, West Yorkshire.
Boardman versus Obree
The sporting rivalry between Chris Boardman and Graeme Obree is among the greatest in history, on a par with Ovett and Coe, Borg and McEnroe or Ali and Frazier. Twenty years on from their record-breaking exploits, Jack Thurston and Edward Pickering consider how their era marked a turning point in British cycle sport and how […]

Cyclists have a strange fascination with riding up hills and it's definitely a pleasure/pain thing. Jack goes in search of the hill climb junkies, first at the Catford Hill Climb on Kent's North Downs, the oldest continuously held bicycle race in the world, and then to Abergavenny where a new course has revived the local cycling club's flagging hill climb event.
How Britain Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love Bike Racing
In the first show of the new season, Jack takes a leisurely ride in the Welsh Borders with Ned Boulting, one of the faces of ITV's coverage of the Tour de France. They discuss Ned's new book "On the Road Bike: the Search for a Nation's Cycling Soul", an engaging and ideosyncratic history of British bike racing.

Review: Comparison of 4 Black Fountain Pen Inks
Noodler's Bulletproof Black was the first fountain pen ink I bought for my first fountain pen - a Lamy Safari. It's been my "go-to" ink since the beginning. It's always in at least one of my pens.
I decided to do a test to see how my 4 different black inks looked on white paper. (A Canson Universal Sketch Pad) I was too lazy to flush & fill any of my pens 4 times, so I decided to use a Brause Calligraphy Pen with a Steno Nib (love it!) to try all 4 inks. Dip/Wipe much easier than Flush/Fill.
Of the 4, from lightest to darkest: (to my eyes)
Pelikan Brilliant Black
Sailor Jentle Black
Noodler's Bulletproof Black
J. Herbin Pearle Noire
Then I took a second sheet of paper and blasted under the faucet - hot water, dribbled some dish soap on it.... All of the inks hung in to some degree, though the Noodler's was clearly the leader. (Hence the "Bulletproof" branding) I like the blackness of the Herbin, so I'm glad to see that it came in a close second.
No idea why I bought the Pelikan, I guess I was hoping it would be darker than the Noodler's. No Dice. Bought the Sailor hoping it would be as smooth as their Blue-Black, but so far, I'm not really seeing that. Needs to be tried in another pen or two. Loving the Herbin... Perhaps it will come to replace the Noodler's.
1 oz of Pelikan Brilliant Black: $5.50
3oz of Noodler's Bulletproof Black: $12.50
50 ml of Sailor Jentle Black: $12.75 (1.69 oz)
30 ml of J. Herbin Perle Noire: $8.75 (1.01 oz)
Prices quoted are from Pear Tree Pens

Ya know, I'm coming around to your way of thinking on J. Herbin's pricing. Yeah, sure it's pretty much the most expensive ink per volume out there, but even 30 mL lasts a long, long time in all but the fattest nibs.
Life's too short to skimp on ink only because of its price.
More Herbin inks, starting with Perle Noire, are in my future.

Yay Murderface! Herbin inks are really sweet.
At the rate that I go through ink, I'm going to need to leave provisions for them in my will. Each of my 12 pens are inked with a different color, and though I write an awful lot, it's about every two-three weeks or so that they all get flushed & re-filled.
- February 25, 2009 at 11:12 PM
Have you tried Platinum's carbon ink? That's the blackest black that I have ever used. JetPens carries it I believe.
- February 28, 2009 at 1:12 PM
Not to mention Namiki black ... and the smell of it ... ahhhhh
- April 24, 2012 at 6:50 AM
I actually like Pelikan Black a lot! I'm using it in a vintage Parker Duofold, and it's as black as black can get. However, since it's a dry ink (as most Pelikan inks are), it really requires a very wet nib to properly shine!

French Drain Solution to a Flooded Yard
From Dean Dowd on October 10, 2008 in Landscaping
A few years back, we had a disaster that nearly ruined our yard and patio. We needed a quick fix and had little money available. The problem happened back in July of 2002, during the Biscuit Fires here in Southern Oregon. Most of the homes in the neighborhood, including ours and those of our immediate neighbors, had above-ground pools. During the summer in our rural area, irrigation is the main source of watering, especially where there is or once was farmland. There was an irrigation ditch that ran along the length of the property lines at the back of our chain link fence. That summer, water from the ditches was dumped, right on time, to put out the fires. But that was the beginning of our problem.
The fires all around were so bad for a couple of days, you could see red from the flames. Can you imagine what ash can do to a pool, along with 110 degree temperatures? The pool will become an algae factory. As a result, everyone started dumping their pool water, including the neighbors who owned the 5x10 pool behind us. After this, we had irrigation water and pool waters flooding our downsloping yard, flooding to the point that our porch was covered in water. We didnt know what to do with our pool water, let alone how to get rid of all the water in our yard.
This problem was solved in two stages. First, we pumped out the water from our pool and off the porch into the existing drainage pipe in the yard, while waiting for the water on the ground to drain. This took about two days. The county stopped the irrigation from flowing, so it could be used for the fires. Pumping out the water helped clear things up at that time, but we worried about the same problem happening again, especially if everyone decided to drain their pools at same time. So we decided to install a French drain.
These are the steps we took:
- Planned the measurements and cost. It took two days to install the drain in our small yard. It wasnt very difficult and the cost surprised me at being very inexpensive. Of course, it did help to be married to a landscaper. If you dont have one of those in your family, you might want to consult one for help with planning and details.
- Gauged the slope of our yard. To do this, we watched which direction the water drained. I decided that I wanted it to look like a dried creek bed to go along with the raised veggie beds and the rock garden surrounding the existing drain pipe. My husband says it was about a 1% grade, so we only had to dig about two foot deep and three feet wide. The drain was about 70 ft long.
- We then staked each end of the trench, running a string from one stake to the other. Going back to the beginning of the trench, we dug out more along the trench, moving the string on the end side down as we dug so that the end was about ½ ft. deeper than the beginning. This gave us a downslope for draining properly.
- We lined a nice, clean trench with landscaping fabric.
- We placed a 4 perforated drain pipe wrapped in cloth with a small drywell at the deep end of our trench and into our rock garden. The other end was capped for cleaning if it ever plugged up.
- We shored up the pipe with more gravel, covered over the ends of the landscaping fabric, and poured sand on top of everything. You could then cover with top soil, but I wanted it to look like a creek bed, so we poured small river rock and placed larger rocks throughout for that effect.
The whole thing turned out beautifully. It looked as though the creek was coming from somewhere on the other side of the big pine tree in one corner of the yard, then running to the rock garden at the opposite corner. We put a little walking bridge by the rock garden and with the raised flower and veggie beds alongside our patio—the effect was very nice indeed.
We did have to drain our pool a couple more times that summer and with the rainy, wet winter we had that year, the drain worked perfectly.

Poll: Most grandmas don't think Paul Ryan's trying to push them off a cliff
"Extreme Ryan Makeover" not working
Romney/Ryan opponents have tried and tried to turn Paul Ryan into Hal from Happy Gilmore, but it's not moving the needle very much against R & R. If anything it could be having the opposite effect.
From the Washington Post:
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows 41 percent of Americans view the new GOP vice presidential nominee favorably, while 37 percent rate him unfavorably — slightly improved from last week's polling.
Among seniors, though, the numbers are even better for Ryan: 50 percent favorable and 35 percent unfavorable. Fully one-third of seniors say they have a strongly favorable view of the Wisconsin congressman, while one-quarter have a strongly unfavorable view.
The numbers suggest Democrats' attempts to turn Ryan's Medicare proposal against the GOP haven't stuck yet among the most pivotal group: seniors. If a Medicare attack was working, after all, seniors would likely be the first group to start deserting Ryan.
Here are the numbers in handy pie form:
Somewhere on a commercial set where the spot "Throw Grandma From the Cliff III" is being filmed, the following conversation is taking place between a panicked director and his assistant:
"Ok, new poll is in. Listen up people, they're not buying it yet… we're going to want to make that cliff much higher… this time add a big 'splat' sound when fake granny hits the rocks below. And where's the scream on the way down I asked for?"
"It can be added in post, boss. Anything else?"
"At the end pan down to granny and have an elephant with an 'R' on its side come by and stomp on her."
"Symbolism, boss?"
"Duh! Get on it! If after this every swing state senior doesn't think November 6th might be their last day on earth you're all fired!"*****

In a sign of the times, Ducati has announced it will be selling two very recent Ducati Desmosedici GP machines at auction. The bikes, a GP11 2011 factory Desmosedici which brought Valentino Rossi his only top three finish of the 2011 season, and the other a 2010 model GP10 which Casey Stoner took to victory in the 2010 Australian Grand Prix, are subject to an undisclosed reserve. The buyer will be required to enter into a confidentiality agreement.Read More
Ducati's new generation v-twin 1200cc sports bike will be announced at the EICMA International Motorcycle Show in Milan this November. What we know for sure is that it will be named the "Ducati 1199 Panigale" and that it will not use the traditional Ducati trellis frame but a roadgoing version of the frameless design which has been raced and evaluated rather unsuccessfully by the world's best rider - Valentino Rossi. It seems like a massive gamble for a company that has traditionally attracted customers with its race-winning superbikes. Rumours suggest that the new road bike will weigh in at 176 kg wet and produce 195 bhp. How well it will handle will be the issue.Read More
Last year when we did an extensive feature on Ducati's motogp carbon fibre semi-monocoque frame, we lauded its groundbreaking technology. Now it seems the Italian powerhouse is so pleased with its handiwork that the semi-monocoque design looks set to replace Ducati's trademark trellis frame on its road bikes in the future too.

Ever since designer John Barnard built the 1981 F1 McLaren MP4-1 chassis from carbon fibre, the world has become increasingly aware of this novel composite material that is very stiff, three times stronger and more than four times lighter than steel! Within a year or two, carbon fibre became the construction material of choice for F1 designers. Strangely, it has taken nearly three decades for a carbon fibre-framed motorcycle to take a race win at the highest level. The World MotoGP Championship kicked off this evening in Qatar, with Casey Stoner taking the first win on the carbon fibre-framed Ducati Desmosedici GP9. His emphatic win indicates yet another competitive-edge Ducati technology to back up its landmark desmodromic valve-train and traction control technologies.Read More

Ahhh, the good old days of eBay. Veteran sellers will remember when auctions could be started at a penny, photos didn't have to be posted, and items would end with multiple bids. Buyers paid for their items and the whole system worked more smoothly. Those days are over now, mostly due to the millions of sellers on eBay competing for the sale of the same types of items. Auctions just don't work like they used to. To avoid losing money and basically giving products away, new sellers should be aware of why it is risky to offer 99 cent auctions.
1. eBay offers other listing types than just auctions including fixed price and best offer. In the olden days, auctions were the only choice.
2. Buyers may be impatient and not want to wait for an auction to end. The world we live in is all about speed and convenience. Auctions don't offer either.
3. Savvy sellers often buy items on 99 cent auctions to flip and resell on eBay. More experienced buyers know the price they can get for an item and how long to wait. Patience is a virtue and pays off on eBay.
4. Sellers cannot require immediate payment on auctions. Because sellers are becoming more and more frustrated with non-payers, and many sellers are earning their living on eBay, they do not want to deal with buyers who don't pay. Many sellers simply will not do auctions anymore.
99 cent auctions (without free shipping) can effectively be used to get rid of items obtained for free or to build feedback if a seller is new. Just don't expect to make any money this way. It just doesn't work anymore.

What's your zodiac sign and

Today's planet postions in the signs are here.The sign and degree are correct in real time.
Most people think of their
"sign" as meaning where the Sun was when they were

contributing to your chart, depending on which planet was

at your Sun sign and your Rising Sign, also called the Ascendant.
The Rising Sign is calculated from the part of the sky that
was coming over the Horizon at the moment of birth. Here,
we present a brief, lighthearted journey through the Zodiac,
looking at your Sun Sign (who you are) and your Ascendant
(how people see you). The exact dates and times when the Sun
enters each sign will vary from year to year. (By the way, have you seen the range of gorgeous Zodiac Posters?)

The Sun is in Aries
between about 21st March to 19th April.
If you were born with
the Sun in Aries, you set out with a brave heart, and
want it all to happen right now. No beating about the
bush! The world is your oyster, and no-one, but no-one,
is going to mess with you! You can organise, and lead,
and in love you're a real romantic. "Actions speak
louder than words" could be your motto.
If Aries is your Rising
Sign, when you step outside, you want to get going and
make a start on the day's projects. You'll act first
and think afterwards, and people will walk on eggshells
to avoid a fiery outburst if you're annoyed, but they'll
know that all will be smiles as soon as you've cooled
down. They'll be glad to have an Aries Ascendant in
The Sun is in Taurus
between about 20th April to 20th May.
Placid, calm and contented,
the bull in the meadow will enjoy the sun on his back
and good food to eat, and he'll tolerate annoying flies,
and even people walking through his field...just so
far...but try and make him move when he doesn't want
to and you might as well try until Doomsday. The Bull
of the Zodiac is the same. If your Sun is in Taurus,
you are peace-loving and reliable, your business will
prosper and you'll be practical and tolerant. But no-one
in their right mind should try and make you change yours.
And, just as the bull in the field will charge unexpectedly
one day, so the rare rage of a Taurean is fearful to
If Taurus was rising
when you were born, you're not going to rush out there.
You'll take your time, think before deciding anything,
and you'll want to stick with what you know. But people
will love to rely on you, and when you find your mate
you'll be passionate and protective.
The Sun is in Gemini
between about 21st May and 20th June.
So your Sun is in Gemini?
You're sure? You're not in two minds about this? OK
then, but you know you can be first one thing and then
another.You're friendly, quick-witted, and love playing
with words. You're likely to be found clowning around
or talking on the phone for hours on end. You can stay
up with friends till all hours, or you'll try to find
out about and understand the latest scientific discovery.
Then, when you're tired of that, you'll move on to the
next thing.
If your Rising Sign
is Gemini, you walk out there with an urge to find out
where it's all happening, what's going on, and why.
If it's there, you want to know about it. Then you'll
tell everyone else. You're not really after a great
romance, but your friends will invite you to their parties
and know you'll keep everyone amused.
The Sun is in Cancer
between about 21st June and 22nd July.
Crabs hide in their
shells for safety, and will wave their claws at an approaching
threat, but get under their soft belly and they can
be badly hurt. Cancerians are the same, but they're
as sensitive to the feelings of others as they are to
their own, have creative imaginations, and they are
devoted to home and family. If your Sun is in Cancer,
you'll take care of ageing parents, and fight for your
children against all-comers.
To the outside world,
the Cancer Rising person can sometimes seem moody; people
can upset you without meaning to, but they are very
glad to come and have a cup of coffee in your kitchen
and pour out their troubles, knowing you'll listen and
understand. You are wary of giving your heart to someone,
but you love to have someone on whom you can depend.
The Sun is in Leo between
about 23rd July and 22nd August.
The lion is the King
of the Beasts, and Leo is King of the Zodiac. His royal
presence demands respect, and he bestows generous largesse
on all. Zodiac Lions are like the Sun itself, warm and
radiant, ready to help great and small, and if your
Sun is in Leo you will give without counting the cost...but
you do like to be thanked. No-one is kinder than a Lion,
but you can be badly hurt if people ignore or misunderstand
If Leo is your Rising
Sign, you're naturally cheerful, and walk out onto the
world's stage with a smile on your face. People are
drawn to you, heads turn, and ...let's be honest...
you love it! You're neither proud nor pushy, but sometmes
people see you like that, and that can make you feel
very lonely, yet not for long, for you soon bounce back
and are your old cheerful self. Naturally romantic,
you love to have a mate who is as loyal to you as you
are to him or her.
The Sun is in Virgo
between about 23rd August and 23rd September.
More than anything else,
if the Sun was in Virgo when you were born, you not
only want to be useful, but you truly are. You study
and learn as much as possible, and then put it all to
good practical use, because you can see what needs to
be done. You're not interested in glory for yourself,
you just use your common sense and make sure that the
job is well done. The only drawback is that you may
forget to enjoy yourself at all.
From the point of view
of the rest of the world, with Virgo rising, you are
a godsend. Others needn't bother about tidying up, because
you'll do it for them, but you do worry about things.
If someone is ill you know just how to make them comfortable,
and you probably have some vitamins on hand to raise
their resistance. In later life, people would tell you
how young you look for your age, if you ever had the
time to listen to such nonsense.
The Sun is in Libra
between about 24th September and 23rd October.
If the Sun was in Libra
when you were born, you want everything to be harmonious
and peaceful. You dislike anything rough or crude, and
like your surroundings to be balanced and tasteful .
Most of all, you want everything to be fair. You refuse
to make snap judgements. Librans are often wrongly called
indecisive, but you are merely determined to consider
a question from all sides before making a decision;
then you surprise everyone with firm action.
Whatever your Sun sign,
if your Ascendant is Libra, then relationships with
other people are going to be high on your list of priorities.
When you leave home of a morning, you set out to be
affable and to greet everyone with a smile. You love
a social gathering, and you'll bend over backwards to
keep the peace and avoid causing offence. Just sometimes,
you may need to put tact and diplomacy on one side,
and realise you can't always be all things to all men.
The Sun is in Scorpio
between about 23rd October and 21st November.
The nobility and strength
of an eagle combined with the tenacity and...er...sorry...sting
of a scorpion just about sum up your strengths and weaknesses
if you were born when the Sun was in Scorpio. When you
set your mind or heart on something, that's it. Nothing
will dissuade or distract you. You'll dig as deep as
needs be to uncover the truth of the matter, however
painful, and you''ll feel it deeply and deal with it
wisely, unless you're so hurt that you lash out. Then,
woe betide your assailant!
If you have Scorpio
as your Rising Sign, other people probably find you
intriguing, maybe even magnetic. They might see you
as mysterious, or intense, and sometimes they'll find
your penetrating insight very uncomfortable. Which is
a pity, because you can face and fight the demons others
flee from.
The Sun is in Sagittarius
between about 22nd November and 21st December.
With your Sun in Sagittarius,
you are on a journey. Friendly and adventurous, your
gaze is set firmly on the horizon and beyond. You are
the original free spirit. You want to find out for yourself
if the grass is greener elsewhere, and you'll look for
the deeper meaning in it all. Popular and generous,
full of enthusiasm, you answer to yourself and no-one
If you don't exactly
ride out every morning on horseback, however much you
would like to with Sagittarius Rising, you do at least
stride out into the world with your head high and a
bounce in your step. Probably the equivalent of a red
spotted handkerchief on a pole too. You can change your
direction at a moment's notice, and just move on to
the next thing. Other people usually find you excitng
and impressive, but anyone in relationship with you
must never try to fence you in.
The Sun is in Capricorn
between about 22nd December and 19th January.
Like the mountain goat
represented in the symbol of your sign, if your Sun
is in Capricorn you aspire to the heights. But you are
going to get there by steady perseverance, not by leaps
of intuition, nor with a burst of enthusiasm. You won't
take risks, but will build your world carefully, step
by step, on your own if necessary, but with a determination
and stamina that will lead others to depend on you with
good reason, for you will always look after your own.
With Capricorn Rising,
you'll greet the morning with a sense of duty and responsibility.
You won't even think about whether you like it or not,
you will just go out and get on with the chores of the
day. You might well stay on late at work and finish
a task rather than go down to the pub, but after work
is done you will like nothing better than to go home
to those who love you, for your hard exterior hides
a deeply feeling soul.
The Sun is in Aquarius
between about 20th January and 18th February.
If the Sun was in Aquarius
when you were born, you are probably a friend to all
the world. Not only do you love mixing in parties, but
you really care about the environment and the world
at large. You'll make sure that your household recycles
everything, ...you can lose your cool without warning
if they don't...and you'll love any gadget that will
make the world a greener place. This is partly because
you love gadgets anyway; you might even invent your
own! When it comes to getting involved though, either
with people or any venture that needs commitment, you'll
fade charmingly and politely, but rather vaguely, into
the background.
Like those born with
Sagittarius Rising, if you have Aquarius as your Ascendant
you too will walk out into the world with your head
high...but in your case it is up in the clouds and your
mind is far away. Detached to the point of aloofness,
your mind is concerned with high ideals, but you prefer
to stand apart from close relationships, and you don't
like strong feelings in others or even yourself. Beware,
though! You're not that cool. You can explode without
warning or go into a huge sulk if your dignity is threatened.
The Sun is in Pisces
between about 19th February and 20th March.
Fish swim in the wide
ocean, and if your Sun is in Pisces, you love to lose
yourself in the world of dreams and imagination. Super-sensitive
yourself, you are tuned in to the needs of all around
you, and your heart goes out to anyone in trouble. You're
a natural actor, but from a love of playing the part
rather than a thirst for the limelight. Changeable and
sometimes moody, you can be a sucker for a hard luck
story, and you're not only easily deceived but you can
deceive yourself. You are more likely to sacrifice yourself
for others than any other sign.
Poet, musician or artist,
if you have Pisces as your Rising Sign you will need
some sort of outlet for your creativity. People may
find you enchantingly mysterious, and you can escape
into a world of your own when things get tough. You
gain insight through your hunches and intuition rather
than logic, may even be psychic, and so long as you
don't drift aimlessly and let others take advantage
of you, you might make a great contribution to helping
or rescuing other people.

I am trying to use the jQuery dialog UI library in order to position a dialog next to some text when it is hovered over. The jQuery dialog takes a position parameter which is measured from the top left corner of the current viewport (in other words,
[0, 0] will always put it in the upper left hand corner of your browser window, regardless of where you are currently scrolled to). However, the only way I know to retrieve the location is of the element relative to the ENTIRE page.
The following is what I have currently.
position.top is calculated to be something like 1200 or so, which puts the dialog well below the rest of the content on the page.
$(".mytext").mouseover(function() {
position = $(this).position();
$("#dialog").dialog('option', 'position', [position.top, position.left]);
How can I find the correct position?

One of the most popular and well-received professional pool events in recent years is coming back to take the stage in 2013, the Ultimate 10-Ball Championships. While the first two renditions of the event took place in Dallas, TX, this year's Ultimate 10-Ball will be held at Harrah's in Tunica, MS, which is also the venue for the Southern Classic. Get more details on the event in the press release below..
The Third Edition of the Ultimate Ten Ball Championships will unfold June 17-20, 2013 at the Harrah's Resort in Tunica, Mississippi. This WPA World Professional Ranking, BCA Professional Ranking and WPBA Professional Ranking event will carry a total prize fund of more than $170,000!
Features of this year's event include two-table free live streaming by PoolAction TV, Tournament Direction by Ken Shuman, free live scoring by AZBilliards, and referees managed by Randy Goettlicher. Representatives of the World Pool Association and the Billiard Congress of America will be present and the WPA Sports Director will oversee the entire event.
The competition will occur on Diamond 9-foot Pro-Am tables covered with Simonis 860 cloth and equipped with Aramith Pro Cup balls and Master Chalk.
In an effort to assist the professional player with their travel costs this event will conclude the day prior to the Diamond Billiards Southern Classic in the same venue so the pros get to participate in many well-paying events on only a single air ticket.
Beginning Friday, March 22nd, full details and entry forms for the Ultimate 10-Ball Championship will be found at: www.ultimate10ball.com.

I don't like to buy into the idea that we should only express our love or go all out on romance for Valentine's Day but I do believe that February is the time of year that couples focus on each other more. With that in mind, there are some things that can help you say the right words this year. Even if you are considered the Romeo in your circle of friends that you proudly wear, these simple phrases have weight to them that make us all come off as a hero in the heart of our spouse.
These are things can be used in different forms, you can write them in a Valentine's Day card, post them on your spouses Facebook/Twitter page (the beauty of this part is you get loads of bonus points because not only does your spouse see it but so do their friends) or you can email or text them. If you choose to text them, I put the creative abbreviations in parenthesis to make it easy for us all.
1. I Love You (ILY or ILU)
This is a no brainier because you can never say this enough, you just have to make sure your actions, body language and face all repeat these words. This phrase can often be very empty and routine. Valentine's is a good time to remember the reasons you fell in love and make a choice to impact your spouse in a positive way rather than try to hang on to the ooey-gooey feeling you once had that truly has not lasting value.
2. Your The One I Wanna Laugh With (UR the 1 I wanna laugh w/)
Couples seem to have inside jokes, comedies they enjoy (movies or TV) and moments they created together that was filled with laughter. Business and Contentment can often suck the fun part of our marriage out from under us. Getting back to laughing with your spouse can help break down walls in your marriage that could be keeping your relationship from being more intimate or romantic.
3. Let's Live In the State of Naked (lets live N tha st8 of naked)
This is an easy one. You don't have to sugar coat the fact that you want to have sex with your spouse. The more you talk about it, especially, the things you like and want to enjoy with your spouse, the more arousal and frequency you can live in the state of "Naked."
4. I Choose You (i chus U)
These words are often times more powerful than saying "I Love You". We say "I love Hamburgers" and "I love my wife" with the same tone. By letting your spouse know that you choose them daily to share your time, love and energy, they feel safe and secure. Your kids, if you have them, see that and feel security as well. These are key words to utter if you have been in a slump in your marriage too. You might not be in a place of forgiveness yet for wrongs they may have committed but just by choosing your spouse tells them that you are not going anywhere and want to make it better.
5. I'm Not Perfect but with you I'm Pretty Close (I'm not perfect but w/U I'm pretty close)
We get married with the image of our spouse at that time and realize there are levels to them you don't know about. You think they are perfect in the beginning but find you are both far from it. These words are sweet but are heavy in that you are pointing to yourself in humility. Showing that you can admit your false and lean on your spouse's strengths to better yourself and your marriage.
These may seem like pick-up lines, but when played correctly, not just for Valentine's, you can really open the heart of your spouse.

What Is Adoption?
After the adoption is approved by the court, you will receive an official decree and a birth certificate with your name listed as the parent.
It is your responsibility to feed, clothe, house, and educate your adopted child. The adopted child should receive the same love and understanding as a child born to you.
Who Are The Children?
Waiting children are often of school age and emotionally, physically, and/or mentally challenged. Over 90 percent of the children are African-American. Some are brothers and sisters who need a home together. The children may currently live in foster homes, group homes or residential treatment facilities. All deserve a family.
Infants and children from other countries can be adopted through private agencies.
Who Can Help?
Private and church-sponsored agencies: These agencies charge fees on a sliding scale, based on your income and ability to pay. Each agency has rules for applicants and may have special programs for placing infants or children from other counties. These agencies may be contacted for information about their requirements and services.
Other: There are also several adoptive parent groups which provide information and support. Some offer classes that examine and address various aspects of the adoption experience.
What Is A Home Study?
How Do You Learn About The Child?
If you and the worker decide to proceed, arrangements will be made for you to observe the child without the child's awareness of your presence.
The next step may be to meet the child and spend some time together. There may be numerous visits, including some overnight and weekends, before the child comes to live with you permanently.
Is Financial Help Available?
What Is Risk Placement?
What Happens After The Child Is Placed?
A child is not legally adopted until a judge says so. A court hearing will be held before a final decree of adoption is entered. Your social worker can tell you the specific procedures in your jurisdiction.

Our very own Diana is the proud parent of the distinctly distinguished Kobayashi, a Pac Man Frog. It is clear that she loves her little guy dearly. Take a look at what she has to say about him:
"He eats large goldfish and adult mice. Pac Man frogs are great eaters, and are very inactive. Kobayashi is always ready to eat, so I named him after the famous competitive eating champion Takeru Kobayashi. I love giving him baths to help him shed and watching his enormous eyes stare back at me from under the dirt. Although the baths are necessary, he doesn't enjoy them, and puffs his body up in anger like a balloon to almost twice his size!"
Diana is sure one lucky gal to have Kobayashi as her pet!

Although sited on its outskirts, the cathedral is the focal point of this village. Since a decree of Pope Callixtus II in the 12C, two pilgrimages to St David's are the equivalent of one to Rome - a privilege shared only with Santiago de Compostela in Spain. There has been a Christian community and daily worship at St David's for more than fourteen centuries. Today, it is a popular site on the tourist trail, as it lies at the westernmost point of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.

So, you would think that 12 spindles would be…you know…fast.
Even if you took 12 spindles, made them into a RAID 10 array, they'd still be fast.
That's what I'd think, anyway. It turns out, my new EMC AX4 is having a bit of a problem. None of the machines hooked to it can reach > 30MB/s (which is 240Mb/s in bandwidth-talk). I haven't been able to determine the bottleneck yet, either.
I've discounted the switch. The equipment is nearly identical to that in the existing primary site (using SATA in the backup rather than SAS, but still, 30MB?). It isn't the cables. Port speeds read correctly (4GB from the storage array, 2GB from the servers).
The main difference is that the storage unit only has one processor, but I can't bring myself to believe that one processor can't push/pull over 30MB/s. I originally had it arranged as RAID 6, and I thought that maybe the two checksum computations were too much for it, but now with RAID 10, I'm seeing the same speed, so I don't think the processor is the bottleneck.
I'm just plain confused. This morning I'm going to be calling EMC. I've got a case open with their tech support, so hopefully I'll be able to get to the bottom of it. If it's something general, I'll make sure to write about it. If it's the lack of a 2nd storage processor, I'll make sure to complain about it. Either way, fun.

An interview with the directors of "Swiss Army Man."
Here is the story of two boys coming of age in two strangely combined families. Poetic, romantic and idealistic, it begins in 1939 and concludes after the end of World War II. It's not strictly speaking a Holocaust movie, although the dark cloud of that atrocity arches overhead.
The setting of "Simon and the Oaks" is a Swedish coastal community, where we meet Simon (Jonatan S. Wachter), a dreamy young boy drawn to the solitude of an old oak, where in a tree house he devours books and is filled with ineffable longings. His parents, Karin and Erik (Helen Sjoholm and Stefan Godicke), are salt-of-the-earth types, his dad a master carpenter. Inspired by his books, Simon is drawn to enroll in the local school. His father opposes this, seeing it as a threat to the family.
In the school, he meets a German Jewish boy named Isak (Karl Martin Eriksson), whose parents fled from the Nazis. His father, Ruben (Jan Josef Liefers), owns a bookstore in the town, and Simon regards with awe all the books he sees in its window. When a fellow student taunts Isak for being Jewish, Simon comes to his rescue and bloodies the bully's nose. Then Isak takes Simon home to meet his parents, who live in a luxurious flat above the store, filled with art and exuding sophistication.
Keep these characters in mind. There is more to them than we suspect. We gradually discover that Karin and Erik are childless and raised Simon after he was born to his unmarried Aunt Inga (Cecilia Nilsson). Simon's father was a German Jewish violinist who had a romance with Inga, which was cut short by the war. So Karin and Erik may have notions about why Simon is drawn to music and a life of the mind.
They invite Isak to come and live with them, as a refuge from anti-Semitic bullying at school. Subtly, the families merge, and it's clear Isak's father and Simon's mother are attracted to each other. Erik notices this, but exercises tactful restraint. He is compensated because Isak is as fascinated by Erik's boat building as Simon is by Ruben's bookselling. Each father gets a surrogate son. And both sons are targets for the Nazis.
We may anticipate that the movie will advance slowly through the war and reach its climax that way, but no; unlike most movies involving the Holocaust, this one places the war's end at the halfway point and leaps ahead. Now the two young actors are replaced by older ones; Simon is played by Bill Skarsgard (Stellan's son), and Isak by Karl Linnertorp.
The oak tree is not forgotten, nor the images which young Simon imagined in the cloud formations above it. Ruben takes Simon to concerts, which transport him, and gives the boy a radio-phonograph, which fills the simple seaside home with music. Subplots involve illness and sexual initiation.
The film is based on a Scandinavian best-selling novel by Marianne Fredriksson, and arrives bedecked by 13 Swedish nominations and two awards. It is unabashedly sentimental and epic, and rather bold in the way it takes place during and after the Holocaust but is not defined by it. The real story is of two unconventional families who help each other in a time fraught with danger. I was intrigued by the relationship of the two fathers, who arrive at an unspoken detente for the benefit of the two sons.

Early polls from this years Game Developers Conference in San Francisco offered some grim news pertaining to the third party interest of the 3DS and WiiU.
According to the chart featured over at NintendoLife, only 1.9% of the 2,600 game developers questioned had plans for developing their next game for the Nintendo 3DS. The number was only slightly higher for the WiiU, sitting at a paltry 4.42%.
Now it is no shock that the brunt of game development is focused on PC/Mac and smartphones. These platforms have an incredibly high user base and are fairly simple to develop and promote games for.
The real surprise comes from the fact that the Playstation Vita (7.47%) had more interest than the 3DS. The 3DS has an astronomically higher user base with VGChartz stating that there have currently been almost 43 million units sold, as opposed to the 7.5 million Playstation Vita units sold.
An even tougher pill for Nintendo to swallow is the fact that consoles from the past generation, the Xbox 360 and PS3, also have more interest than the WiiU and 3DS. Once again this is most likely because they already have an established user base, but Nintendo already has enough trouble competing with the current generation.
Nintendo has always been known for their first party titles. The 3DS has a massive library of great games as it is, and that is without a ton of third party support. While the WiiU struggled early on, titles are on their way that might be potential system sellers such as Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros.
First party titles alone can not continue selling systems however. If Nintendo wants to continue competing with the other video game markets they must improve their relationship with third party developers.

Just as an incredible season of SYTYCD comes to a close ABC announces their eclectic cast of stars for the Fall season of Dancing With the Stars. There are definitely some surprises this time around:
Alfonso Ribeiro of Fresh Prince of Bel-Aire fame is joining the cast with pro Witney Carson. Alfonso is known to cut a rug himself (fans of the show will remember "The Carlton") but will those skills be enough to take home the mirrorball trophy? Maybe Alfonso's fanbase will give him just the push he needs.
General Hospital hunk Antonio Sabato, Jr. will be dancing with Cheryl Burke. The hunks seem to do well with DWTS fan votes and Antonio stands a good chance of going far into the competition unless he is revealed to have two left feet.
Youtube personality Bethany Mota and DWTS pro Derek Hough will be vying for the trophy. Mota's Youtube channel covers topics ranging from DIY to beauty and fashion. Bethany's success on the show will be hard to predict but one would certainly be curious to see if she dances well.
Designer Betsey Johnson will be paired with Tony Dovolani. The energetic, creative force behind her own brand, Betsey is a great addition to the DWTS cast. Whether her fashion fans will watch the show, however, remains to be seen. Of course, Tony could just dance shirtless like he did last season and get the votes that way.
Janel Parrish from Pretty Little Liars is partnered with Val Chmerkovskiy. As a member of the ABC family, Janel is an unsurprising competitor. Two questions remain, however: Can she dance? and Will her tween fans be enough votes?
Mean Girls actor Jonathan Bennett will hit the dance floor with DWTS pro (and SYTYCD alum) Allison Holker. Jonathan is of unknown quantity and could be a spectacular dancer.
Actress Lea Thompson from Back to the Future and Caroline in the City is paired with Artem Chigvintsev. Although the fanbase from her glory days is not likely to be of much help, Lea could prove herself to be a great competitor in the show.
It certainly would not be a DWTS season without an Olympian competing. Lolo Jones will be dancing with Keo Motsepe. Lolo competed in the 2012 Summer Olympics for track and field and the 2014 Winter Olympics for bobsled. As an athlete, Lolo has a good chance of doing well on the show.
Racecar driver Michael Waltrip will be joining Emma Slater. NASCAR fans will remember Michael for his Daytona 500 wins among other competitions. (NASCAR fans' wives will probably use this as an excuse to make them watch the show.) Other racers have won in the past so it will be interesting to see how Waltrip fares this season.
Actor Randy Couture (who also happens to be a martial artist) will dance with pro Karina Smirnoff. Viewers may recognize Randy from The Expendables and some UFC championships. Couture has his athleticism going for him but we will need to watch to find out if he can also command a following for the coveted viewer votes.
Sadie Robertson is the granddaughter of Phil Robertson and stars on the A&E show Duck Dynasty. Sadie is paired up with Mark Ballas and could draw the votes of the show's fanbase.
Tommy Chong (yes, half of the duo of Cheech & Chong) will dance with Peta Murgatroyd. Name recognition could be a powerful thing here or Tommy could be sent packing in the second episode. We will just have to wait and see!
Tavis Smiley rounds out the group with partner Sharna Burgess. Can a talk show host and author make it to the finals? Do fans of his show on PBS watch DWTS? Only time will tell!
Another surprise of the season is the addition of a fourth judge. Julianne Hough will be a fixture at the judges' table along with Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli.
DWTS returns for its 19th season on Monday, September 15th. Albuquerque viewers can watch Season 19 of DWTS on ABC channel 7.

The skin ages in two ways, chronologically and by sun damage. Skin spots may appear with increased risk for melanin abnormalities, because of transfocal deprevity transitioning from light to dark based on sun exposure. Too, as one ages the skins cells lose functioning collateral found in depletion of inner-works' processes in cell maturity.
Most elders are told to avoid sun to minimize potential ruinous instability in switching on and off the melanin production, which leads to false timetable alerts as your skin bronzes or burns to signal a warning in UVA and UVB exposure. Though it is recommended to get at least 15 minutes a day exposure to sunlight to sustain transference of calcium and vitamin D for healthy bones, it is not a good idea to go without sunscreen.
