Come see the Hall of FameAugust 30,2013
Come see the Hall of Fame
Thank you for the article about Bob Davis and the Vermont Agricultural Hall of Fame.
This year, the hall is celebrating 11 years of highlighting wonderful Vermonters who have made such a difference in our state. Almost 60 individuals, representing all aspects of our industry, have been honored with induction, and their images are visible on the wall at the Champlain Valley Exposition year-round. CVE has hosted the luncheon for the inductees, their families or representatives, sponsors and friends during the fair for the past nine years.
We encourage anyone in the state to nominate a deserving Vermonter by going to www.cvexpo.org and following the links to the application. It is actually pretty easy and doesnt require the 150 signatures or any petition as presented by Mr. Paige in the article. The form asks for highlights of the persons life and a 250-word narrative with more information. Nominations are never discarded, and the committee reviews all previous and current submissions every year when making its decisions.
The Hall of Fame luncheon has become an important celebration of agriculture for Vermont, and I invite all those attending any events at the Champlain Valley Exposition to visit the entryway to Miller Building North and view the black-and-white photographs. They serve as a testament to the hard work and generous hearts of those who have spent their lives making our state a leader in agriculture.

Shasta College and the Shasta Union High School District are teaming up to make a difference in students lives.
It's a new program to help high school students behind on their credits to not only catch up but take college courses. The program is paid for by a grant and it's called Gateway to College. There are 43 programs like this across the country.
Students who qualify not only get the extra help but a scholarship to help pay for college fees.
"It's helped me gain academic confidence which is I think the number one thing you need to have going into college," said Kari Muaddi-Carter, a student taking advantage of the program.
Carter is one of the first students to experience the program, she was behind in her high school credits so she said she was skeptical of the program at first but decided to give it a shot.
Students in the program are expected to be in class every day, work hard on their courses and do daily homework.
"We keep students together the first semester as a cohort, they take their classes together as a learning community," said Nancy Berkey, program director of Gateway to College.
So far the program has helped 23 students.
"You're never too old to learn and I've talked to so many people who regret not going to school," said Carter. "And a couple of years ago I would have never thought it was important."
There are 40 open spots for the spring semester.
To qualify you must:
- Be 16 to 20 years old.
- Be behind in school credits.
- Have passed the high school exit exams - CAHSEE.
- And be willing to commit to complete high school diploma.

TO INFINITY… AND BACK: Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin poses Oct. 2, 2009 at the Magic Kingdom in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. with the 12-inch-tall Buzz Lightyear toy that spent 15 months in space onboard the International Space Station (ISS). Aldrin and the space ranger toy were joined Oct. 2, 2009 by ISS Expedition 18 astronaut Michael Fincke in a celebratory "homecoming" parade in front of thousands of guests at the Walt Disney World theme park. Disney Parks and NASA sent the Buzz Lightyear toy into space in 2008 as part of an educational initiative to encourage students to pursue studies in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The toy returned to earth Sept. 11, 2009 aboard Space Shuttle Discovery STS-128. (Garth Vaughan, photographer)

The Q Side teamed up with the non-profit m.a.m.a. earth to put on a red carpet benefit concert in Santa Monica on March 6th that saw the comeback of an R&B legend along with some of the new stars of R&B. The event managed to raise over $3000 for the relief effort in Haiti, specifically, to help a grassroots organization called Yayasan Bumi Sehat (Healthy Mother Earth Foundation) who's birthing clinic opened its doors this past Friday, March 5th in Jacmel, Haiti.
It was an amazing night that had performances from Mateo, Res, the legendary El Debarge, Think Tank and Bruno Mars (who's currently featured on B.o.B.'s hit song Nothin' On You).
Everyone was incredible but El Debarge's performance was the highlight of the show and when he left the stage to loud cheers, people felt like they had just witnessed a monumental moment. The comeback of a legend who's made it through controversy and returned to greatness. El is back in the studio working on new music with Babyface and he's planning to release an album later this year.
This photo taken by Brian McGee captures the moment after I introduced El Debarge to Mateo, who's poised to make an impact similar to the run El had with his brand of love songs. In fact, because of the rain that night, El didn't bring his own piano and just jumped on Mateo's instead. That is definitely what I call a moment.
This song Bruno Mars will appear on his upcoming album The Adventures of Bobby Ray (4/27). This video was directed by my friend Ethan Lader. As soon as I saw it, I texted him this: "It has a Tribe Called Quest feel and that's the highest compliment I can give!!"
I'm going to start calling this guy the Scottie Pippen of R&B cause he's so underrated! This new song I spotted at Onsmash is more proof that he's definitely not one to sleep on.

New sections set for debut
Singing section and Family Zone to debut this weekend.
The atmosphere at the Stadium of Light will be cranked up this season as thousands of red and white fans take their seats in the new South Stand singing section.
For the first time since its opening in 1997, the lower bowl of the stadium will be made up entirely of Sunderland supporters following the relocation of away fans to the Strongbow North Stand Upper area, creating an intimidating cauldron of noise for opposing teams.
The overwhelming winner of a survey run on safc.com earlier this year, almost 70% of votes were in favour of introducing a singing section at the Black Cats' 49,000-capacity home.
Speaking ahead of this weekend's home opener against Reading, striker Fraizer Campbell said: "The closer your home fans are to you the better and I'm sure the atmosphere will be even better than ever before this season.
"We are all looking forward to getting back out there at the Stadium of Light this weekend."
As part of the redevelopment, the South East Corner of the stadium has also been transformed into a Family Zone, where future generations of Sunderland fans can meet Samson and Delilah and take part in pre-match activities such as face painting before taking their seats to watch the Black Cats in action.
Season cards for the 2012-13 season are available for all areas of the Stadium of Light including the lively new home section in the South Stand and the fantastic Family Zone in the South East corner.
Call into the ticket office at the Stadium of Light, telephone 0871 911 1973, or click here to guarantee your place and show you support for the Lads this season.

I'm connecting 2 TomatoUSB (Shibby build on WNR3500L v2) routers with an OpenVPN routed connection:
----------------------- -----------------------
| Router 1, subnet 20 | <--tunnel--> | Router 2, subnet 21 |
----------------------- -----------------------
Router 1 is the OpenVPN server and Router 2 is a client. Clients attached to the routers on both subnets can ping clients on the other subnet, so the tunnel and routing works.
I've enabled file sharing on both, in order to get their Samba WINS servers running. Is it possible to get name resolution across the tunnel? I've tried
remote browse sync = 192.168.21.1 in /etc/smb.conf on the server side, to no avail. Also tried using the IP adress that the client gets from the OpenVPN address pool (usually 10.8.0.something), but still no joy.

If you've been dutifully following "Sons of Anarchy" all the way through season 6 then you know more than one actor met his or her death during the season. That being said, TV Over Mind revealed on Jan. 29 which of the actors landed a series of his own.
Ron Perlman, who played Clay Morrow "Sons of Anarchy" met his death in season 6 and has a new contract to star in Hand of God" which Amazon will produce. The deal has been in the works for a while but couldn't be revealed because word of Perlman's new gig could have spoiled Clay's onscreen death on 'Sons.' Here is the blind item posted by TV Line before any of it could be made public:
"A prospective new TV pilot just landed a big-time actor as its star, but the up-and-coming producer/writer behind the future series can't pitch it to a single network. Heck, he can't even discuss it with anyone — and that's because there's a spoiler bomb embedded within the top-secret project. You see, the headliner in question is currently starring on a popular hour-long drama series. And if word were to get out that he has committed himself to a new full-time gig, it could potentially ruin a major upcoming twist: his onscreen death."
Ben Watkins, the executive producer of "Burn Notice" will do the writing for the Amazon show which centers on powerful Judge Harris Pernell (Perlman). He's described as a hard-living man not afraid to bend the law. Though married, he has a high-end call girl he keeps on the side. She begins hearing voices through Pernell's ventilator-bound sound. These could be messages from God and she has a religious awakening.
"Hand of God" sounds pretty interesting and we wish Ron Perlman all the best in his new series.

Kanye West was charged on Friday with attempted grand theft and criminal battery for the alleged attack on a paparazzo in July, radio detection and rangingOnline.com is reporting.
While trying to snap photos of Kim Kardashian's beau, a clearly irritated West pounced on a photographer at LAX — leaving him injured and requiring a hospital visit.
Kanye "shoved the photog to the ground and yelled at him after trying to take a few snaps," a photo agency at the scene claimed.

"Kanye came out of the terminal and attacked the videographer by allegedly grabbing his shoulders and punched him. The paramedics were called to the scene and [the victim] was rushed to the hospital."
It was just one incident in a string of violent encounters with paps in recent months.
In May, West went on a verbal rampage against one photographer after he cracked his head on a street sign.
West faces a maximum of one year in jail and will be arraigned on October 10.

Recently appearing at retailers, UNSC Weapon Pack II includes a UNSC Marine with enclosed helm, weapon rack, and heavy machine gun. Presumably called "UNSC Weapon Pack II" to differentiate it from the beige Mjolnir Mk 6 in the same wave, and not because it is the second such pack (there have been well over 2 sets).
This set includes:
- New Sculpt UNSC Marine.
- Tripod mounted heavy machine gun.
- Weapon Rack.
- Assault rifle with new grey 'skin'
- DMR with new orange 'skin.'
- Grenade Launcher
- Shotgun
It's a neat set, with a new (or at least recent) sculpted marine, a few harder to get weapons, as well as new looks for old ones.

Banner Health to build four East Valley Health Centers
PHOENIX (June 9, 2012) -- The Banner Health Board of Directors have approved plans for the creation of four new Banner Health Centers, at a cost of approximately $45.2 million.
These new sites, all located in the East Valley, will expand the reach of Banner Health primary care services within Maricopa County.
The new Health Centers, including sites in Gilbert (Warner and Gilbert roads), Queen Creek (Ellsworth Loop and Ocotillo roads), Chandler (Alma School and Willis roads), and East Mesa (Crimson and Baseline roads), are all anticipated to open in 2013.
Each of the new Centers will reflect the community need, but will be based on a model first demonstrated at the Banner Health Center in Maricopa which opened in May.
Patient appointments at that Center have already exceeded projections in its first two weeks of operation.
Banner Health Centers offer a mix of primary care services for everyone in the family—babies to seniors. Depending on the community, this may include Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics and Obstetrics and Gynecology. In addition, rotating physician specialists will be scheduled onsite to meet patient needs.
Under the same roof, there is access to general lab and imaging services reserved exclusively for patients of the Centers. Conference space is built into each Center for purposes of community education, and telemedicine capabilities prepare the site for high-tech consultations.
Existing Banner Health Centers include Banner Health Center in Maricopa and Banner Health Center in Peoria/Sun City. In 2012, Banner Health is scheduled to open Banner Health Centers in Verrado/Buckeye (Verrado Way and I-10), Surprise (Litchfield Road and Statler Street) and Goodyear (Estrella Parkway and Cotton Lane), Ariz., plus Southwest Loveland, Colo.
Two of these projects, Surprise and Goodyear, are leased properties. All of the other new projects will be built from the ground up based on a Banner Health Center franchise model. Centers are phased to grow as the patient base expands. They are scaled to property size, but most can nearly triple in size at full build out.
The architect for the new Arizona Health Centers is HMC Architects, and the general contractor is Kitchell.
About Banner Health Centers
The Banner Health Centers are managed by Banner Medical Group, Banner Health's employed physician group. BMG encompasses nearly 800 physicians and more than 3,000 total employees in Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Nebraska, Nevada and Wyoming.

If you pick up almost any major fashion magazine, chances are the model or celebrity on the cover had their makeup done by legendary makeup artist Francesca Tolot.
Francesca Tolot is an Italian born artist who started her career working at Italian Vogue before coming to America. Her first assignment upon arrival in the U.S. was working with Madonna on a video. The collaboration with Madonna began a long term relationship whereby she helped to create some of her most iconic looks over the years.
Francesca has worked with a wide range of A-list entertainers and performers such as Elizabeth Taylor, Marion Cotillard, Julia Roberts, Faith Hill, Shakira, Christina Aguilera and Alicia Keys to up and coming starlets like Chloe Moretz. Francesca is most notably known as the makeup artist for Beyoncé whom she has worked with over the last ten years collaborating with Queen Bey on her numerous film, music, commercial and performance projects such as The Super Bowl.
Francesca shares how she started in the beauty business and her passions when she is not on set working with Hollywood's acclaimed talent.
Q: How did you get interested in beauty?
FT: I was wearing a lot of makeup and I met a makeup artist who was opening a makeup studio and giving lessons. So I decided to go to school because I used to wear that much makeup (laughing). I had no intention of doing it as a career, but I liked taking classes. I guess I was pretty good at it and the teacher was very pleased with my work. The teacher started asking me to do some makeup jobs that he couldn't do. I fell into it (makeup artist) as my career. It wasn't something that I had dreamed about doing all of my life.
Q: Were your parents surprised or supportive that you wanted to be a MUA (Make Up Artist)?
FT: I was already married when I started doing makeup. My mom loves makeup. When I was a child I was a tomboy and my mom was like a doll. She wouldn't leave the house even to take out the garbage without a full face. For my mom she loved it when I got into makeup.
Q: You've worked with the greatest entertainers. What is your process when working with a celebrity on a look for a project or special event?
FT: Usually it is a team that is working with a celebrity. It is all about balance and teamwork from the makeup, to the hair and the wardrobe. Everyone has to work together, otherwise if things are out of balance the hair doesn't go with the makeup or the makeup doesn't go with the clothes. The results is disastrous.
The first thing that I always do is look at the clothes, and then I consult with the hairstylist on the hair to find out their vision. If it's a video I find out the director's vision. After seeing the clothes and talking to the hairstylist, director and obviously the performer (whom I'm going to be working on), I then decide which road to take to create a look. The most important thing is to have balance when putting together a look for a performer.
Q: We have got to know, did you have any idea that Beyoncé was planning to release "The Visual Album" when she did?
FT: We were working on the video so we knew at some point that it was going to be released. From the time that you're shooting the video and the post production work that goes into finishing it, the process takes a long time. The day that she released the album and the manner in which she did it, we had no idea. The day it came out it was a surprise for me too. I don't think too many people knew except her management team.
Q: Did you get free reign to come up with the concepts for "Beyoncé The Visual Album?"
FT: Yes, I did have free reign to create Beyoncé's looks for "The Visual Album" based on input from the director and the message that Beyoncé wanted to send in the video. Again, it was very collaborative with Beyoncé, the director, the hairstylist and wardrobe.
Q: YouTube has many people recreating your looks. Can you share with us some of your favorite products?
FT: It is so much fun to look at those videos on YouTube. I use a variety of products. My favorite makeup in terms of color comes from MAC Cosmetics, NARS and Make Up For Ever. For foundation I usually use Chanel or Chantecaille and Armani, but it depends on the project too.
I have 50 pounds of makeup that I carry with me. I have to be prepared for everything and anything can change at the last minute. I carry foundation and colors for any type of skin and skin tone. Some of my makeup is professional and others are lighter non-pro cosmetics. Most of the lipsticks that I use are probably from MAC Cosmetics. For my eye shadows I use a really good mix of Dior, MAC and NARS.
Q: What are your hobbies?
FT: My hobbies are painting and drawing. In the past few years I've been so busy that I haven't been able to do much of it because of my schedule. I like going to school for art and sculpting. It's difficult to schedule things ahead of time. One day you get a great opportunity to collaborate with someone that you've always wanted to work with and then you're off working on another project. I love painting, sculpting, drawing and learning new things in art. I do believe that makeup can be a form of art and not every job will give you the opportunity to create to that level, but when it is very complicated and technical it can be.
Q: What's left on your career "To Do" list?
FT: I don't have anything specific; it's whatever brings me joy. I'm collaborating with my daughter Martina Tolot (Co-Creator and Photo Editor) and her best friend Sarah Tohl (Co-Creator and Fashion Editor) in their online magazine "Line Magazine."
Line Magazine is a beauty and fashion blog and online magazine created by Martina and Sarah. I am the Beauty Director for Line Magazine and I have a lot of fun collaborating with them. I'm responsible for the beauty "Pick of the Week" and we work with hairstylists that are friends of ours to select the "Hair of the Week."
Every six months Line Magazine publishes an actual printed version of the magazine twice a year. I am really enjoying it because we are free to come up with the concepts until it goes live online. It has all of our ideas and I'm super proud of her. Martina is also a photographer for the magazine and she graduated with a degree in photography from California Institute of the Arts. She has a great eye and style for fashion and beauty. I'm very proud of her!

Another showing like that on the final day will give Pace a $500,000 payday that nearly matches the slightly more than $700,000 in career earnings in Bassmaster events. Pace declined to talk about patterns, but said Saturday's fishing was tougher than Friday's first round. His two-day total is 43-4. Mike Iaconelli, tied with Pace after the first day, brought in a five-bass limit weighing 13-11, for a 35-3 total and third place. Brandon Palaniuk, among the younger anglers in the 53-man field, came in with a 19-10 catch Saturday to move into second place with 36-4. Gonzales' Greg Hackney, competing in his 11th Classic, qualified for Sunday's final round with a two-day total weighing 27-5. Only the top 25 anglers after Saturday's second round qualify for Sunday's final on Grand Lake o' the Cherokees, a 46,500-acre reservoir that dominates the landscape in northeast Oklahoma.

Artist Jim Hodges is a hard man to pin down. His sculpture of shiny steel boulders on the Walker Art Center's lawn looks sturdy enough to last a few hundred years, but during his art-school days Hodges trashed whatever he made as a way of acknowledging the fragile transience of life.
Fortunately, Hodges eventually overcame this destructive impulse, and 25 years later we have the Walker Art Center's Jim Hodges: Give More Than You Take, the most comprehensive retrospective of the man's work ever assembled. Co-curated by Walker director Olga Viso, the exhibit features more than 80 works from a quarter-century of toil by one of America's most important and prolific contemporary artists.
Putting it all in one gallery isn't going to get you any closer to finding a suitable label or category for Hodges's work, however. Some of it is wildly colorful, some plain black and white. Some pieces are tiny, some are the size of a billboard. He's a painter, sculptor, photographer, and conceptual artist—often all at once—and he will use whatever materials suit him for the project at hand: glass, wood, metal, mirrors, napkins, scarves, scotch tape, fabric, denim, light bulbs, his own spit, etc. The only thing many of the individual pieces in this exhibit have in common is that the placard says they were made by a guy named "Jim Hodges." There the similarities end.
In one room is his series of black-and-white drawings of the moon; in another, a wall covered with colorful, ethereally arranges scarves; in another a curtain of silk flowers; in another, a series of ceramic bells hanging from the ceiling; in another, a rose made of tar paper and scotch tape. The medium doesn't seem to matter much to Hodges; he seems capable of making art out of anything. One piece, called A Diary of Flowers (When We Met), is literally a bunch of napkin doodles—72 of them, to be precise.
And yet, when you walk through Give More Than You Take, one impression that's impossible to escape is a sense for how much time and effort Hodges puts into his work. He does not make it look easy; indeed, much of it looks very hard. One piece from 2004, Untitled (it's already happened) is a nine-by-six-foot photograph of some trees, to which Hodges has applied an Xacto knife to carve out hundreds, perhaps even thousands of leaves, creating an amazing three-dimensional hybrid masterpiece that hovers somewhere between photography, sculpture, and painting. Up close, you can see the hours Hodges put into carving each little leaf; and frankly, it looks agonizing—like trying to mow your lawn with a pair of nail clippers.
Hodges himself happened to be present during the press preview, and I asked him about the obvious labor-intensiveness of these pieces. "I do whatever my art demands of me," he explained matter-of-factly—meaning he'll do whatever it takes to get the results he wants. Like, for instance, gluing thousands of shards of glass into a giant disc so that he can shine a light on it and bounce the shadows along a wall. Or stitch together an acre's worth of denim to create something that looks like the sun bursting out from behind a patch of clouds. Or sew together hundreds of silk flowers to create a huge, translucent curtain.
Several recurring themes do resonate: the primacy of nature, the process of transformation, the interplay of light and shadow. Hodges is also famous for his cobwebs, which represent all kinds of things for him—fragility, entrapment, death, natural beauty, camouflage—and so there are webs both large and small all over the place. The largest and coolest is a thing called "Gate," which is an iron gate with a spider web made of chains that guards a room suffused with an eerie blue light. You have to see it—it's the sort of weird, beautiful, thoughtful creation that makes Hodges such an interesting artist.
According to Olga Viso, one of the fascinating things about Hodges is how he embeds "tension and friction" into his work to create "polarities"—beauty/rage, ugliness/love, violence/tenderness—that pulse and vibrate, giving his work a unique energy. Indeed, every piece in this exhibit has layers and depths that reward exploration and contemplation. To get the most out of Jim Hodges: Give More Than You Take, prepare to spend some time in the gallery, though. It took the artist 25 years to create this body of work, so you're going to need to spend a few extra minutes of your time in order to fully appreciate it.
Trust me: You won't be sorry.
Jim Hodges: Give More Than You Can Take continues at the Walker Art Center through May 11.

Well, a disappointing year on the poker front comes to a close, my first losing year so far. It would have been worse had it not been for a good visit to Vegas, but basically there were far too many alcohol fueled late night cash sessions, which damaged the bankroll.
One positive was that I registered a second place in the latest edition of our WSOP league, so at least I am now housed in midtable and can have a decent crack at it in the final six events next year.
Happy Christmas to all and have a prosperous New Year.

Jimbo, have you given up poker, or just given up on the blog?
I'll be in Vegas in a few weeks for some WSOP action. Drop me an email if you're going to be around firstname.lastname@example.com

Hi Ian - hope you are well.
Haven't really played much poker this year as I have had quite a lot of other stuff on the go, certainly not enough to be worth blogging. Might well restart the blog once I play regularly again.
I'm not in Vegas this summer, but am there October time for a couple of weeks.
Good luck at WSOP :)

Egli, A; Alberto, R; Tannahill, L; Schibli, R; Abram, U; Schaffland, A; Waibel, R; Tourwé, D; Jeannin, L; Iterbeke, K; Schubiger, P A (1999). Organometallic 99mTc-aquaion labels peptide to an unprecedented high specific activity. Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 40(11):1913-1917.
Full text not available from this repository.
A new peptide labeling method that uses the organometallic aquaion [99mTc(H2O)3(CO)3]+ has been developed. METHODS: A selection of amino acids was labeled at different concentrations with the organometallic aquaion, and the labeling yield was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. This investigation has shown histidine to be a very potent ligand, with specific activities of up to 6 TBq/micromol (160 Ci/micromol) ligand. Histidine derivatives have been coupled to neurotensin(8-13) (NT[8-13]) and have been labeled with the aquaion, resulting in high specific activities with (N(alpha)-histidinyl)acetic acid-NT(8-13) similar to those with histidine. RESULTS: Histidine derivatives of NT(8-13) labeled using this approach fully retained their receptor affinity, showing KD values of all investigated NT analogs below 1 nmol/L on colon carcinoma HT29 cells. Biodistrbution experiments in BALB/c mice showed complete clearance of (N(alpha)-histidinyl)acetic acid-NT(8-13) from the blood after 24 h and no unwanted accumulation in any tissue. CONCLUSION: The novel labeling method using the organometallic 99mTc-aquaion combines the advantage of highest specific activities with minimal functionalization of proteins and peptides under retention of biologic affinity.

Sarah Palin (right) endorsed South Carolina gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley -- before the cheating rumors.
(AP Photo)
Atlanta Journal-Constitution political columnist Jim Galloway said it best:
South Carolina is in apparent need of chastity belts. Thousands of them. Unisex, and industrial strength.
First the sobbing governor ran off to Argentina to have an extramarital affair with his "soul mate," then his wife moved out, then his former spokesman confessed he had an affair with the married woman who wants to take over the job as governor. And just for good measure, the philandering governor's ex-wife is supporting her ex-hubby's supposedly unfaithful replacement candidate.
Add Sarah Palin to the mix, and you've got a Lifetime movie.
Palin endorsed Nikki Haley, who hopes to replace philandering Governor Mark Sanford when his term limit expires in January. Sanford's former spokesman, Will Folks, now says he had an affair with Haley, who is married with kids. In a rant on his conservative website, FITSNews.com (which occasionally features pictures of girls in bikinis, by the way), Folks said Haley's opponents are dead set on taking her down and humiliating him as well by leaking proof of the affair to the media:
Specifically, within the last forty-eight hours several pieces of information which purportedly document a prior physical relationship between myself and Rep. Haley have begun to be leaked slowly, piece by piece, to members of the mainstream media.
I have become convinced that the gradual release of this information is deliberately designed to advance this story in the press while simultaneously forcing either evasive answers or denials on my part or on Nikki's part.
I refuse to play that game. I refuse to have someone hold the political equivalent of a switch-blade in front of my face and just sit there and watch as they cut me to pieces.
The truth in this case is what it is. Several years ago, prior to my marriage, I had an inappropriate physical relationship with Nikki.
Haley's office immediately issued a statement adamantly denying the affair. Haley stated:
I have been 100 percent faithful to my husband throughout our 13 years of marriage. This claim against me is categorically and totally false."
RedState editor Erick Erickson sides with Haley on this. He says the good old boy Republicans don't like her because she demanded transparency, so they're trying to sleaze away her chances of moving into the governor's mansion. He also says the confession doesn't make sense:
This violates the very basic laws of nature: hot women do not have affairs with ugly guys unless those guys are rich.
One thing is certain: Few things in life are more fun than watching a bunch of hypocritical politicians trying to out-sleaze each other.

College Hockey:Blue-collar North Dakota sees rewards for perseverance through sometimes-trying season
When William Penn arrived at the confluence of the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers in the late 1600s and set up his plans for a new city, he tied two Greek words together and came up with an iconic name for an iconic town: Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love, symbolizing peace and brotherhood.
Come April 10, peace won't be part of the equation. But when the puck drops for the Frozen Four in Philly, a self-described "band of brothers" will put themselves on the line once again, this time to get one step closer to college hockey's ultimate prize.
2014 Frozen Four
Follow all of USCHO's coverage at Frozen Four Central.
Despite having to recover from a 4-7-2 start, despite needing to scoreboard-watch to even make the NCAA tournament and despite all of the other bumps along the way, here's North Dakota, one of the last four teams standing after defeating Wisconsin and Ferris State in the Midwest Regional.
The rest of the college hockey world appears surprised by a 14th overall seed dispatching two teams mentioned in the national title conversation in back-to-back nights to book its ticket to the Frozen Four. But in the North Dakota locker room, there's only satisfaction of all the work this blue-collar team has put into a trying season.
"It's great to see a payoff pitch for how hard our team has battled back throughout the year," senior captain Dillon Simpson said. "Younger guys stepping up and everyone playing their roles to the best of their ability — it's been an amazing thing to be a part of."
As is to be expected of a team that attracts so much attention in the national spotlight, the criticism was loud at times. But instead of breaking the team down, the criticism seems to have only made this team stronger and closer.
"Everybody's been doubting us all year," forward Rocco Grimaldi said. "Slow start, people were doubting us. Were we going to even get out of the NCHC playoffs? Were we going to have home ice? We've proved the doubters wrong all year."
There's no doubt evident inside that locker room. Only determination.
"I think we expect a lot from ourselves in that room, and that's the biggest thing," said forward Stephane Pattyn. "We know how good we are and I think coming in as a four seed, just sneaking in, we kind of took that as a challenge. We're a great team and we know we deserve to be here and I think we proved that this weekend."
And in the process, something else has been evident: how much fun this team is having.
"That's key," said goaltender Zane Gothberg. "I know [assistant coach] Brad Berry last week talked about it a lot at the NCHC tournament: 'Just have some fun, go out there and compete and see what happens.' Our team's doing that. We're competing every night, but in the process having fun and living a little."
The team's mood was especially evident after UND clinched its 20th Frozen Four in program history, when hugs and laughs abounded on the U.S. Bank Arena ice sheet in Cincinnati as players congratulated each other. This is a team that has not forgotten how much fun the game of hockey is, even if it's a lot of work. And clearly that is not lost on coach Dave Hakstol when describing his team's identity.
"You can probably tag a lot of words — some resiliency, a hard-working team, a very determined team," Hakstol said. "It's a bunch of hard-working guys that are having fun with each other. That's a pretty good formula this time of year. It kind of takes the pressure off a little bit."
As it was all weekend in the regionals, UND will be an underdog in the Frozen Four semifinals against Minnesota. But the collection of 26 personalities in the UND locker room has come too far to worry about the underdog label and has too much pride to be satisfied now. After all, the history of the program exudes a higher expectation.
"Growing up, you just hear about North Dakota and North Dakota hockey," Gothberg said. "It's just tradition. It's something we take pride in every single day whether it's in practice or in games. A lot of it starts with the coaching staff instilling that level of compete and that pride.
"It feels great. All of our hard work is definitely going for a good cause. I know it's a band of brothers here that we're ready to rock with."

pull, stretch, hold, tight
pull, stretch, hold, tight
Kristen Martincic & Althea Murphy-Price
Wellesley, MA - November 2013 The Jewett Art Gallery at Wellesley College is please to present Printmakers, Kristen Martincic and Althea Murphy-Price. In pull, stretch, hold, tight, Kristen Martincic and Althea Murphy-Price explore conformity and self-perception by isolating elements of the body.
Murphy-Price's bound and tangled representations of Murphy-Price's bound and tangled representations of hair address issues of tension, discomfort and surrender shaped by culture. Martincic's paper bathing suits make us reconsider how our bodies are perceived while bringing to light vulnerability and exposure.
Both have an art practice that is based on a love of making. They share a deep appreciation for material while embracing alternative printmaking approaches, including construction and collage methods. Their deliberate design sensibility makes use of line to convey the tactile and sensitive. Martincic's use of a fine, drawn line references fabric textures and abstracted body hair, playing between a bathing suit and an underdress, skin and clothing. Murphy-Price preserves the line of individual strands of hair to create arrangements that are gestural and structured, elegant and chaotic.
The work in pull, stretch, hold, tight asks us to reexamine our relationship to the body. This outward reflection of internal identity is at times tenuous and yielding.

The first shows a gay pool party I would love an invite to! This lucky boy has four sexy seniors to chose from. His daddy bought him along to share and makes him service all his horny old buddies. His mouth gets stuffed with wrinkled old cock and his tight ass does too.
The image above is from a video with two chubby bear daddies. They are well dressed in suits but those come off quick enough as these two wanna fuck. Loved the footage of the chubby bearded dad sucking on his partners cock.
The third video shows a grandpa having sex with a boy young enough to be his grandson! The lad services the old mans hard prick before sitting on it and riding him. Mmmm looks like a nice ride for both!
You can download all of these videos in full and tonnes more at Older4Me. They have the biggest collection of mature gay sex videos on the net.
He ordered her over to him and lifted her short skirt. He spanked her soft little girl ass and although it hurt she liked it. She let him too and soon lust overcome them and he had his teen student on her back across his desk. That pussy that he had been dreaming about all year was right in front of him and he feasted on it. He ate out her silky little teenage pussy savoring her taste before sticking his dick inside her.
See the full episode including the hot video only at Teens Love Old Men. Their site is all about really cute young girls having sex with hot daddies and grandpas.
He loves it though and wants it in his ass more than ever. He gets on his hands and knees and becomes submissive. The athletic stud sticks a finger deep into his asshole and it quivers with delight. His tool gets pushed in next all the way up to his balls and he fucks his white daddy from behind.
These pictures show just a taste of the action the video has. Become an Older4Me member to see it all along with their many other daddy sex videos.
Later the cub gets onto of the older guy. Their two big bellies press against each other as he rides his old dick. His own stiff prick ends up between them as he grinds away. It all comes to a messy stick end once these silver foxes finish their play.

Check out these pictures of her having a really long steamy sex session with her chubby lover. First she sucks daddies cock just how he likes it – wet and slow. Then she climbs on top of him and guides his thick cock into her tight juicy pussy. What she really likes more than anything though is when he sticks his dick up her ass. She tells him to plug her tight asshole and he obliges pumping his fat cock into her anus. It all ends when he gives his sexy daughter a hot cum facial.
See the full episode of this young girl getting fucked by her mature lover only at Teens Love Old Men.
He gives plenty of love to his bulbous cock head slurping away on it with expert skill till he is rewarded with a big mouthful of hot steamy love juice. He gets his smooth shlong gobbled too of course. It's not as big as his older partner but it looks a tasty mouthful for sure.
See the full series of this daddy on daddy sex series at Hot Older Male. They have hundreds of sexy mature gay men and their content always impresses us.
He got her alone and quickly seduced her. He soon had his hands up her skirt and touching her moist little pussy through her panties. She was keen to do what ever he wanted and she unzipped his fly and sucked on the dirty old mans hard cock. She gobbled his man meat and then he wanted to eat out her teenage pussy. He hadn't tasted a delicious teen pussy like hers for years and he really made a pig of him self as he roughly licked her silky muff.
He fucks her too in a few positions that he has been dreaming about nailing her in. It felt good to live out his fantasy that he had been jerking off too for months.
See the full length video only at Play Daddy along with tonnes more of their older male fucking young girls movies.
Once they were naked he told them to get into the bathtub together. His cock was hard and pressing against his suit pants. One of the girls noticed and unzipped him. She pulled out his old cock and started sucking him off. her friend joined in too and soon both these little sluts were sucking on daddies dick.
Take a look at the preview pictures to see what else happens. He fucks the shit out of both the pretty 18 year olds and then gives them a really hot cum facial.

Britney Documentary
Posted by Native NYker in britney, britney spears, circus, documentary, mtv on November 19, 2008
America's most famous white trasher and Photoshop queen – Britney Spears, has gone and made a documentary (albeit an MTV one.) Evidently the girl who's life is played out in every tabloid rag across the world isn't satisfied with the play by play coverage of her iced-coffee runs and wants to make amends.
"There's a lot that people don't know about me that I wants them to know," Spears states in one promo.
Lets think about that Brit-Brit. You've flashed your coochy (more then once), cracked and been carted off in an ambulance, hooked-up with a pap and ran off to Mexico (one who you assuredly knew was making beaucoup $ from hooking up with you), lost custody of your kids, lost control of your own estate, bombed a major (lip-synching) performance (on the same network) due to your hard partying and have had every shopping/coffee run/club run, et al – covered on film and pics…. did I forget anything? Oh yeah, you security detail manhandles women pap-pers to get you from door to car even after your "people" leak intel on your whereabouts.
I know you have another lip-synching project due out (which was leaked in its entirety online,) but really girl, what the fuck!
Norton Pulls a Spears
Posted by Native NYker in breil watches, britney, britney spears, campaign, circus, ed norton, new music on November 4, 2008
My friend Judy brings home a copy of Bazaar – that weights like three lbs – just to show me a picture of Ed Norton appearing in a new Breil Milano advertisement. He recently landed the poster boy campaign and is slated to reign until 2010.
"Look how good he looks!" she proclaimed. And as I sat to go over the two page ad I had to conclude in the same thought. 'He looks amazing,' I responded. 'A different man even.' And being the snippy bitch I am (I hadn't eaten yet,) I had to make the comparison of how much like Britney this ad was…
We all know Brit-Brit reigns in the being photoshopped kingdom. Her latest album cover for "Circus" is testament and reminder of that title… But it seems Eddy is looking to rise to her side and rule as her counterpart… They even gave him cheekbones!

NetBeans Quick Tip #25 - Case Insensitive Code Completion
By Roman Strobl on IV 27, 2006
One thing I change everytime I have a new userdir for NetBeans is the code completion sensitivity. I think it's just much more productive to use the case insensitive code completion - typing the case correctly is another thing I need to think of when writing code. This is especially useful when I write classes like StringTokenizer, BufferedReader, etc. You can turn off the sensitivity here:
I wonder if there is anyone who actually needs the case sensitivity. As far as I know in NetBeans 6.0 we plan to switch this option to insensitive by default.

There is a substantial difference between being "politically correct" and being "graciously courteous." It is an important piece of educating the whole child, and future success or failure as a human being could be contingent upon the ability to distinguish between the two.
A person who strives to attain a proficient level of political correctness filters their words to choose the most acceptable way to express themselves without stumbling upon inflammatory, controversial language or catch-phrases. This constant effort to police themselves often creates a kind of falseness or insincerity since the speaker must expend a great deal of energy tiptoeing around the construction of their words so that meaning and substance sometimes get lost in the shuffle.
Intention is also important. The politically correct individual often feigns social correctness to achieve certain goals. The objective most often involves some form of personal gain which should never be the motivating force behind common decency and respect for others.
The person who attempts to achieve an aura of grace and kindness is setting the bar at a higher and more profound mark. They do not get tangled in semantics or syntax, tropes and schemes. They simply act with self-respect and respect for others. This has several implications.
First, we must assume that they are genuine in their interactions with others and not merely trying to affect a kind of concern. They have mastered the art of listening and responding in good measure, honestly and appropriately.
Secondly, there are no ulterior motives, agenda, or manipulations at play. The point of interpersonal communication is to share ideas, articulate perceptions, learn new things, problem solve, grow/evolve, and experience empathy for others.
There are many indicators that our world has lost its ability to have a genuine and authentic connection with other individuals. Blame the "disconnect" that technology spawns, or point fingers at a lack of modeling from harried multi-tasking parents with caffeine and sugar attention spans. In the end, it doesn't benefit anyone to play the "blame game."
In my curmudgeonly, baby boomer biased opinion, there are several things we could all reflect upon that would jump-start a movement toward a more civil and courteous society. Parents are the only ones who can teach these kinds of life lessons. Most adults over 40 will probably agree:
1. Dressing: Do not go out in public (and that includes going to school) in your pajamas and house-shoes.
There was a time when no sane person would leave their house in their PJ's. Not only would it be an affront to anyone who was forced to witness this intimate apparel, but also a sign of lagging self-respect. It is just as easy and comfortable to slip on a pair of yoga pants or sweatpants and some flip-flops. Why venture out in your skivvies? If you cannot manage to step into some real clothes, stay home.
2. Driving: Do not blaze down the road with a reckless and rude sense of urgency that endangers the lives of others as well as your own.
Was there ever a time when the majority of drivers were courteous and patient? Of course there have always been a few impatient jerks, but in it was not the norm as it is today. The frustrations of gridlock and traffic purgatory are no excuse to cut people off, zip in and out of lanes, and follow much too closely. Add those who drive impaired because of alcohol, prescription meds, fatigue, or illness and it is a miracle that anyone on a bicycle ever survives their ride home.
3. Tipping: If you cannot afford to tip your server, pizza delivery driver, etc…, then stay home and prepare your own food.
The people who work in the food industry who depend on tips do not make minimum wage. If they do not receive 18%-20% in tips, they work for less than minimum wage which we all know is not enough to survive these days. And before you judge them, remember that many professionals with college degrees are now working in the service industry simply because the careers they were promised are not there. They may have student loans, a family to support, etc…The rank and file is no longer limited to high school kids and people who opted out of higher ed. Take a closer look…they are older and wiser than ever before. Let little Billy hand over the tip. It will instill a lifelong appreciation for the work of others.
4. Temperance: Clearly a virtue than has been lost in the 21st century shuffle, it is time for a comeback since so many people today self-destruct because of "excess." Everything in moderation!
It is not just that everything is bigger in Texas; it is an American epidemic. More is not necessarily better. Individuals must develop some self-restraint, and parents must model this for their children if they don't want their 7th grader binge drinking at the next sleep-over. There is a generation out there who has no idea how to enjoy themselves without a "craft" beer in one hand and a video game controller in the other. Let's wean children from the bottle, the beer bottle, and show them ways to have fun without self-medicating.
5. Self-sufficiency: Children who are propped up by well-meaning parents often flounder as adults who have not learned to self-advocate, problem solve, monitor relationships with authority figures, or develop time management skills.
Failure is a necessary stepping stone to success, and parents should allow these growth opportunities for character enrichment. Adults who struggled from time to time and were not "rescued" at the first sign of distress manage better and have more compassion for others. Helicopter parents who hover vigilantly are not acting in their child's best interest. And never blame others (like the teacher or the other kid) or make excuses for your child. They will learn these self-defeating, irresponsible, and entitled behaviors and continue the unhealthy cycle for years to come.
The list of rude and inappropriate behaviors is endless; however, address these five offending categories to teach the young people in your family how to courteous citizens of the world. Practice what you preach and model positive behavior at every opportunity. The five items above merely provide a place to start or a jumping off point if you will.
Civility and grace seem to be losing ground to their rude, crude cousins. The worst part is that so many people are actually proud of their brash behavior.
The world could once again be a place of kindness, dignity, and elegance of spirit. We must acknowledge how debased society has become and protect our own sacred space by respecting the space of others.

not sure if this is a silly question...apples and oranges maybe..but...
For Windows I used to download either 32 bit binaries from ASF site or 64 bit binaries from Apache lounge site (for no particular reason). So - that was the way I new what version I have.
I've switched to ubuntu (for educational purposes) and got used to compiling from source...well...you know...make..make install etc.
1) So - when I compile apache server from source - what binaries do i get? 32? 64?
2) Are there any benefits from having 64 bit Apache binaries? any cons?
Thnaks guys:)

Virgin Mobile UK offers Windows Live Messenger for free
Virgin Mobile, the largest MVNO in the UK, announced that it now offers Windows Live Messenger for free on select handsets.
The free-of-charge offering is available for both of Virgin's new and existing customers, but only for the first six months of service use. After this period, you'll have to pay a monthly fee – Virgin said it will be a competitive one.
For the moment, only four of Virgin Mobile UK's phones are sold with Windows Live Messenger pre-installed: Sony Ericsson W910i, Samsung U600, Samsung G600 and Nokia 6300.
Starting 2009, other Virgin handsets will come with the Live Messenger out of the box, but there's no word yet on which these are. In any case, the free use of Microsoft's IM client is surely good news for UK users who rely on their phones to chat with friends or family.

2013 Final Season Notes | Bruins in the Majors, Minors
LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Six UCLA ballplayers have agreed to terms with their respective major league organizations and will forego their remaining college eligibility. In addition, three of UCLA's incoming freshmen class signed to National Letters of Intent who were selected in June's MLB Draft, did not sign a professional contract prior to Friday's 2 pm PT deadline and will enroll at UCLA this fall.
Freshmen Scott Burke, Dominic Miroglio and Luke Persico were all selected in MLB's June Draft and will compete for the Bruins in 2013.
"We are very excited about the incoming freshmen class," said head coach John Savage. "Each of these players has the ability to come in and contribute right away."
Meanwhile, junior infielder Kevin Williams did not come to terms with the Miami Marlins after being selected by the club in the 29th round and will return to Westwood for his senior season.
Williams has played in 125 games in his UCLA career, hitting .258 while logging 49 runs, 11 doubles, three home runs and 39 RBI. This past season, Williams hit .227 with 12 RBI while batting at a .242 clip in the postseason with five RBI and a .364 slugging percentage. He enjoyed his finest season as a Bruin in 2012, batting .302 with 28 runs, six doubles, two home runs, 21 RBI and a .413 on-base percentage. Williams also played stellar defense at second base, committing just five errors that season.
Juniors Nick Vander Tuig (6th round – Giants), Zack Weiss (6th round – Reds), Pat Valaika (9th round – Rockies), Adam Plutko (11th round – Indians), Brenton Allen (20th round – Nationals) and Ryan Deeter (32nd round – Brewers) all signed professional contracts after leading the Bruins to their first NCAA Championship in program history this past season.
"The group of players that signed professional contracts out of our program have all made significant impacts throughout their careers," Savage said. "Adam Plutko, Nick Vander Tuig, Pat Valaika, Zack Weiss, Ryan Deeter, Brenton Allen and Cody Regis can all say they were a big part of the first National Championship team in UCLA history. We are very proud of all of these players and can't say enough about the contributions they have made to the program."
Vander Tuig enjoyed an outstanding season on the mound for the Bruins, serving as the team's Saturday starter all year. The right-hander from Oakdale, Calif. posted a 14-4 record on the season with a 2.16 ERA. He led the Bruins with 93 strikeouts and allowed just 18 walks all season, eighth-fewest in the Pac-12. Vander Tuig's 14 wins were also tied for the most in the conference and are second-most on UCLA's all-time single season wins list. He also threw at least six innings in 17 of his 19 starts and finished his career tied for third with Alex Sanchez (1985-87) on UCLA's all-time career wins list (27). In the postseason, Vander Tuig appeared in 10 career games, starting seven of them and posting a 6-2 record with a 2.13 ERA. In the 2013 postseason, he went 4-0 with a 1.65 ERA and 19 strikeouts in 27.1 innings pitched.
Weiss, a right-hander from Irvine, Calif., served primarily as UCLA's eighth inning setup man this season, owning a record of 2-1 with a 2.25 ERA in 43 relief appearances. Weiss' 43 appearances ranked second in the nation this season only to teammate David Berg's 51. In his career, Weiss posted a record of 10-7 with a 3.29 ERA in 82 appearances (22 starts). He will begin his minor league career in the Arizona Rookie League with the AZL Reds.
Valaika, a 2013 All-Pac-12 team honoree, became the first UCLA player to win Defensive Player of the Year honors from the Pac-12 this past season, while also being named to the Division I Rawlings Gold Glove team. The Valencia, Calif. native started every game at shortstop for the Bruins this year, committing only six errors in 277 chances. At the plate, Valaika batted .253, leading UCLA in doubles (14), triples (3), home runs (5), RBI (48), walks (33) and slugging percentage (.394). He finished second with 18 multi-hit games. Valaika was also one of 14 semifinalists up for the Brooks Wallace Shortstop of the Year Award and in his career recorded 107 RBI in 180 games played. He has already begun his professional career and is currently on assignment with the Tri-City Dust Devils of the Northwest League (Single-A, short season).
Plutko served as UCLA's Friday starter all season, posting a 10-3 record with a 2.29 ERA. The junior from Glendora, Calif. logged 81 strikeouts in 124 innings pitched and allowed a .208 batting average against him, the fifth-lowest opposing average in the Pac-12. In the 2013 CWS, Plutko went 2-0 with a 1.38 ERA, earning Most Outstanding Player honors. Additionally, he finished his three-year career with 29 victories, good for second on UCLA's all-time wins list, and 272 strikeouts, good for seventh on the all-time list. In eight career postseason starts, he went 7-0 with a 0.94 ERA and has the most wins (7), starts (8), lowest ERA (0.94) and most innings pitched (57.2) in UCLA postseason history.
Allen appeared in 43 games this season, starting 37 of them and batting at a .250 clip with 13 RBI and two home runs. He served primarily as the Bruins' left fielder in 2013, slugging .352 and drawing 13 walks while helping lead the UCLA offense to a surge in production during the second half of the season. In his three-year career, the Cerritos, Calif. native hit .258 in 68 games, scoring 23 runs and recording 15 RBI. Like Valaika, Allen has already started his professional career and is currently with the Auburn Doubledays of the New York-Penn League (Single-A, short season).
Deeter went 2-0 with a 4.24 ERA in 17.0 innings this season, making 21 relief appearances. Last season, he made 36 relief appearances, posting a record of 1-0 with a 0.89 ERA while recording 26 strikeouts and 18 walks in 30.1 innings. His 0.89 ERA in 2012 ranks second all-time on UCLA's single-season ERA list. In his career, Deeter logged a 2.68 ERA in 62 relief appearances. He will begin his pro career with the AZL Brewers of the Arizona Rookie League.
Burke is a right-hander from Glendora, Calif. who was chosen in the 31st round by the Houston Astros. He appeared in 12 games for Glendora High School in 2013, posting a record of 7-3 with a 2.32 ERA. In 60.1 innings pitched, Burke struck out 79 batters while walking just 19. As a junior in 2012, he went 3-2 with a 2.47 ERA in 28.1 innings pitched.
Persico was selected by the Colorado Rockies in the 37th round of this year's draft. The outfielder from Stevenson Ranch, Calif. competed for the Milwaukee Brewers at the 2012 Area Code Games at Blair Field in Long Beach, Calif. He hit .267 with three home runs, 22 runs, 18 stolen bases and 12 RBI as a junior at Hart High School in the spring of 2012 before transferring to Great Oak High School.
Miroglio, a catcher from Oakland, Calif., was drafted by his hometown Oakland A's in the 40th round of this year's draft. He batted .421 during his senior year at Bishop O'Dowd High School, scoring 25 runs and recording 13 RBI and a .521 on-base percentage. Miroglio was also a 2012 All-Northern California CBCA selection after hitting .375 as a junior at Bishop O'Dowd with 13 runs, 12 RBI and a .444 OBP.
Also joining the Bruins this fall will be outfielders Kort Peterson and Brett Stephens and right-handed pitcher Grant Dyer. As a senior at St. Francis High School in Mountain View, Calif., Peterson hit .367 with 42 runs scored, five home runs, 22 RBI and 15 stolen bases. Stephens played football and baseball at Campolindo High School in Moraga, Calif., earning first-team ESPN All-State underclass honors in 2012 and leading Campolindo to three straight NCS Division II baseball titles (2010-12). Dyer hails from Laguna Niguel, Calif. and attended Dana Hills High School. He posted a 6-4 record in 12 appearances (11 starts) as a senior in 2013, logging a 1.24 ERA and 54 strikeouts in 62 innings pitched.
