The digital magazine of InfoVis.net
Autofocus is a visualisation software that has recently appeared in the marketplace in the hands of Aduna, a transmutation of the old Aidministrator (see number 62), a Dutch company devoted to the creation of open software that takes advantage of the semantic web and of its visualisation.
The goal of this program is to simplify the search for existing files in our computer, e-mail or websites through the advanced use of elements pertaining to the domains of visualisation and information retrieval.
For the sake of evaluation I have downloaded the trial version (30 days) and I have installed it on my computer.
Once installed and running the first thing you have to do is to define an information source and scan it. IÆve begun with InfoVis.net. The scan took nearly 46 minutes through a 512 Kb/s ADSL connection. After that IÆve scanned my personal directory on the hard disk (6.9 GB over 36,685 files) in about 26 minutes. Autofocus uses this time obviously to build indexes and statistical information that allows very quick further retrievals.
Once scanned, the program has generated its indexes and statistics so that you can begin to query it receiving very quick responses.á
On the left margin of the screen there is a text input area where you can introduce the search terms. To its right you immediately get the results of the query, be them files, e-mails or web pages.
Below the text input you find two windows that allow you to see a historical archive of the search terms already used and the suggestions that the software provides within the framework of what Aduna calls Guided Exploration.
In its widest sense Guided Exploration means that the system proposes you views, elements or procedures that help (guide) you in the search. In this particular case it means that Autofocus finds a series of words statistically related with the ones we are looking for and offers them as suggestions. If we choose one of them it performs a new search including this word and in the graphic you can find the new documents that fit the query along with their relationship with the others already present. The objective of all this is to help us refine the search.
The results are presented both in textual form, as classical hyperlinks that lead us to the ôclickedö files, and in graphical form using an interactive cluster map that unfolds elegantly showing the results of the query within ovals that enclose other smaller circles.á
Different groups of circles can be linked so that the enclosing oval covers all of them narrowing the gaps in between (see the figures above) symbolising the relations existing between groups. This allows us to get an overview of the search results (the clusters) which we can interact with, by moving them, erasing them (deleting results of our search) or clicking on them to open the files or directories they refer to.
Although itÆs easy to understand, the interpretation of a Cluster Map is not evident. Basically every result cluster connects to one or more groups by means of one or more of the search terms used. The group that is connected to all the terms supplied is the set of documents that best represent what we are looking for.
Autofocus is available in two versions Personal and Server. The first acts as a personal use program whereas the server version can act as a search engine for an Intranet or a web site.
As happens with Grokker, KarTOO or Vivisimo (see number 138) Autofocus tries to fill the gap that separates us from the bulk of information available, be it on our hard disk or in Internet, by using sophisticated techniques and advanced visualisations. Every one of them has a slightly different philosophy.á
On the pros side of Autofocus you find the impressive speed at which it retrieves results, the guided search and the elegance of the visualisation. Also in favour is the versatility of types of format that it can read and treatáá
On the cons side is the need to do a scan that can last for a long time and also that we arenÆt notified that it has been updated automatically.
Grokker is somewhat slower but you donÆt need to perform a previous scan of the source (at least when searchin in Internet). Its visualisation is, in my opinion, more intuitive and easier to understand without any further explanation.
The search for ways to find the information we need in a more intuitive way, using the power of the computational linguistics combined with visualisation has another exponent in Autofocus, backed up by the experience of Aduna.
Nevertheless I think that in all the above-mentioned cases we havenÆt yet found the really intuitive visualisation for the normal, graphics and visualisation illiterate, user for whom we need to create self explaining and self evident systems or it will be very difficult to bridge the gap between the traditional, textual-output search engines and the ones that will let us quickly find what we are looking for in a clear and intuitive way.
I would like to thank Christiaan Fluit from Aduna for his interesting reflections about Autofocus and his help with AutoFocus.

Green Ink: China's Climate and Mid East Nukes
Crude oil futures rose over $40 a barrel thanks to a weaker dollar and renewed threats of a fresh output cut by OPEC, Bloomberg reports. Natural gas prices, which plummeted during winter, will see even more downside pressure this spring with the arrival of warmer weather, in the WSJ (sub reqd.).
The economy and the environment will be the centerpieces of U.S. relations with China, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said. The U.S. hopes greater cooperation on energy issues—such as clean-tech partnerships–will help coax China into some sort of global accord on climate change, in the WaPo and the NYT. A new report, meanwhile, confirms that one-third of China's greenhouse-gas emissions through 2005 were due to export-intended manufacturing, in The Guardian.
Greater cooperation with China will depend to a certain extent on what happens in the U.S. For the NYT edit page, climate policy still depends on Congress, despite recent rumblings from the EPA: "Regulation can carry the ball only so far." Business groups are gearing up to help shape the administration's energy policy with a slew of competing visions, at Wash Wire.
Some things that are off the table should be reconsidered, argues the WaPo's edit page—like a tax on vehicle miles traveled, an alternative gas-tax plan recently shot down by the White House. Other options are definitely still on the table, such as greater reliance on oil shale, says Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, at Green Car Congress.
The biggest push for clean energy will come in a national renewable-energy standard that will probably be wrapped into a wider energy bill, notes Green Inc. California's gone down that path, and after a rough start, clean-energy installations are finally booming, at Earth2Tech.
But greater use of clean energy requires scientific breakthroughs, not incremental advances, warns Energy Secretary Steven Chu in the L.A. Times—and too much support for clean energy can actually stifle innovation. Whereas Kyoto-style climate schemes tend to spur innovation and reduce emissions, at Grist.
Iran will take a big step toward starting its nuclear-power program with a test run this week, in the WaPo. Iraq wants back in the nuclear game, too—with the help of French nuclear experts, in AFP. Despite all the talk of a global nuclear revival, France's nuclear giant Areva faces a $4 billion cash crunch and needs government help, in the WSJ (sub reqd.).
Finally, climate-change refugees aren't just fleeing low-lying poor nations. The WaPo looks at "eco-migrants" fleeing developed but still vulnerable countries, like the U.S.

The use of the Internet for sexual exploitation of minors is growing exponentially, according to a new study reported on Friday. From interviews with survivors, Thorn researchers discovered that seven out of ten trafficking victims were advertised at some point on the Internet. Companies such as BackPage.com are often in the news as hotspots for such ads, and many sex trafficking sting operations have focused on this venue.
The explosion in number of personal devices that have ready access to the cyber world is part of the issue. Other factors include anonymity of the buyers and sellers, convenience of paying for transactions online and ease of dumping email addresses or websites that may come under investigation.
Besides Internet ads for real time sexual encounters with children, pornographic images of sexual assaults on minors are flooding the Internet. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children documented 17.3 million images reported to them in 2011, a 4000% increase from 2007. Many of these pictures or videos are taken without the victim's knowledge and shared in subscriber sites across the world. In a survey of identified pornography offenders, 19% had images of children younger than 3 years old; 39% younger than 6 years old; and 83% younger than 12 years old. The most frequently submitted images of identified victims in the last five years reveals that nearly half add a level of additional violence (e.g., bondage, sadomachism) to the abuse of the children.
With over 22 million child porn websites across the globe and 10 million in the US, law enforcement officials face a never ending job of tracking and apprehending the predators. The federal government devotes several departments to cracking down on child sexual exploitation, and several states are following suit. An Arizona law, HB 2454, passed this year bringing stiffer penalties to traffickers and buyers, and specifically addresses the advertising side of the transactions:
- Makes use of a visual depiction of a minor in an advertisement for prostitution a class 2 felony and a dangerous crime against children if the minor is under 15 years of age.
- Creates requirement that licensed escorts, escort businesses, massage therapists, and massage therapy businesses must include their license number in any advertisement for services, as well as to keep on file proof of the age of anyone depicted in an advertisement for services. Failure to do so results in a civil penalty.
The Arizona law is now in effect, beginning July 24, 2014.

Mr. Kneel did his "Hip-Hop for Kids" show at the library Tuesday. It was everything the kids and the adults could have hoped for. You could hear it plainly from a block away. The kids danced, called out responses on cue, waved their hands in the air, and in general had a rip-roaring good time. Mr. Kneel threw out Frisbees and Dr. Seuss fish at surprising intervals throughout the show. He read "Oh Say Can You Say" with audience responses.
After about 30 minutes, Mr. Kneel put on the song that sounded like a finale, but the kids were still so responsive, he just kept going. He had already gone through a lot of amazing sounds, but next he started imitating musical instruments and teaching the kids an interesting sound he had learned from one of the teen helpers right here in La Junta last year. He wished Hailey a happy birthday, and concluded with a serious message, "Believe in yourself." He had performed a solid 55 minutes, maintaining the rapt attention of an audience ranging in age from about two to older adults at the back. There were babies, too, probably not paying attention, but not crying.

MID-WEEK GAMES — UCLA will play this season at Utah on a Thursday night and at home versus Washington on a Friday night.
Last season, UCLA opened the season with a win at Rice on a Thursday evening. In 2011, it played at Arizona on a Thursday evening. In the 2010 season, the Bruins played three non-Saturday games - Oct. 21 at Oregon (Th.), Nov. 18 at Washington (Th.) and (Fri.) Nov. 26 at Arizona State.
Prior to 2010, the last time the Bruins played a regular-season non-Saturday game was Friday, Nov. 28, 2008 at Arizona State, dropping a 34-9 decision. The Bruins also played a Monday night game that year, defeating Tennessee, 27-24 in overtime on Labor Day night (Aug. 30). Before 2008, UCLA had not played on a week night since Thurs., Sept. 30, 1993, a 52-13 victory at San Diego State. The Bruins also played at San Diego State on Thurs., Sept. 26, 1991 (won, 37-12).
The most recent regular season home game played on a Friday was against Arizona on Oct. 27, 1978.

Two-hour test is more sensitive than direct culture-based methods, firm claims. [© Vladislav Gajic - Fotolia.com]
FDA cleared Roche Molecular Systems' LightCycler® MRSA Advanced Test for detecting methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in nasal swab samples. Performed on the LightCycler 2.0 real-time PCR instrument, the test generates results within two hours and has shown better sensitivity compared with direct culture-based methods, Roche claims. The test is provided in a ready-to-use format and designed for flexible batch sizes.
"Roche's new LightCycler MRSA Advanced Test is designed to offer a simple, flexible, and reliable method for MRSA screening to support hospitals in the prevention of MRSA infections," states Paul Brown, Ph.D., president and CEO at Roche Molecular Systems.
The firm says estimates suggest the market for molecular-based MRSA screening will be worth about $125 million in 2010 and is growing at a rate of some 20% annually. CDC estimates also quoted by Roche put the burdon of healthcare-associated infections at $4.5-$5.7 billion in the U.S. during 2007.
Roche is building a portfolio of molecular diagnostics for use on the LightCycler system. Tests available for clinical use include the LightCycler SeptiFast Test MGrade, which can detect the 25 most common microorganisms causing healthcare-associated sepsis. Samples testing positive for S. aureus using the the SeptiFast test can then be evaluated using the LightCycler® SeptiFast MecA Test MGrade, which specifically detects mecA DNA in human K-EDTA-blood. The MecA test is used as an aid to the detection of MRSA bloodstream infection in conjunction with clinical presentation, established microbiological assays and/or other laboratory markers.

I only recommend to think about offsite backup if this is technically feasible (internet speed). A tape drive on your desk or the backup machine in the basement won't help you if your house is on fire. Everything else is up to you.

I always use jwz's Backup PSA as a starting point for these conversations. It's mostly disaster recovery, and doesn't consider version control or incrementals. But honestly, if you do versioning right, then the version control repository is just more data that you need to keep backed up.

Phil and other interested Canon Rebel SL1 / 100D shooters,
Yes, this is the standard Ikelite port included with the Ikelite housing. There is a dedicated zoom sleeve available now and you put the camera body in and lock the back, then slide the lens and zoom sleeve in the front.
Slide the port on and you're good to go. I had full zoom from 10-18mm and with the 1.6X APS-C cropped sensor it's equivalent to 16mm which is wide enough for me.
More test shots in brighter conditions coming soon.

According to Channel 8 local news on ABC, Raymond H. Boone, veteran journalist and the founder of weekly newspaper the Richmond Free Press, died on Tuesday. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2013. He was surrounded by family and friends when he succumbed to the cancer in his home.
In addition to being the founder of the Richmond Free Press, 76-year-old Boone was a veteran newspaper reporter and former associate professor of journalism at Howard University in Washington, D.C., where he taught for nearly nine years.
Boone was well known in the Richmond area. People knew him, and he knew the people of Richmond, Boone started Richmond Free Press in Jan. 1992. It currently boasts 135,000 weekly readers. Boone was also well-known in the Richmond community for his outspoken views, and he used the Richmond Free Press to say exactly what he had to say..
Both Boone and his publication received numerous awards over the years from various organizations, including the Virginia Press Association, the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association, and the National Newspaper Publishers Association. Boone himself was the recipient of the 2006 Oliver W. Hill Freedom Fighter Award, the Virginia NAACP's highest honor; the 2006 DaimlerChrysler Entrepreneurial Award as well as a 2006 first-place Virginia Press Association editorial writing award.
Richmond Magazine named Boone to its list of "100 Power Players" in Central Virginia in 1998. In 1999, Style Magazine named Boone among Richmond's "Movers and Shapers" of the 20th century. In 2000, Boone was inducted into the Virginia Communications Hall of Fame at Virginia Commonwealth University. Boone's other recognitions are posted in the Richmond Free Press website.
Congressman Robert C. "Bobby" Scott was one of the first public figures to issue a statement about Boone's death. In part, it read: "I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Ray Boone. Ray was a pioneer and a fixture in the Virginia Press Corps. The Richmond Free Press, which Ray founded more than 20 years ago, has been an important source of news and information for the Richmond community, often covering issues and stories left unnoticed by larger media organizations. While he was my friend, Ray was always a newsman first and never hesitated to hold my feet to the fire on issues important to the Richmond community."
Senator Tim Kaine also expressed his sadness at Boone's death: "Richmond lost a crusading journalist today with the death of Ray Boone. My thoughts are with Jean, Raymond, Regina and the Free Press family." Senator Mark Warner offered his condolences and words of respect, as well.
Boone is survived by his wife Jean whom he married in 1966 and their two adult children, Regina Helen Boone and Raymond H. Boone, Jr.

Softly, I will leave you softly
For my heart would break
If you should wake and see me go
So I leave you softly, long before you miss me
Long before your arms beg me to stay
For one more hour or one more day
After all the years
I can't bear the tears to fall
So softly as I leave you there
Softly, long before you kiss me
Long before your arms can beg me stay
For one more hour or one more day
After all the years
I can't bear the tears to fall
So, softly as I leave you there
As I leave I you there, as I leave I you there

Sara Gilbert Gave Birth This Weekend, Which Means Linda Perry Is A Mommy Now
If Linda Perry asked the question "What's going on?" anytime last Saturday, the answer shouted back at her was probably "Your wife's cervix is 4 centimeters dilated." According to The Daily Mail, Sara Gilbert spent her Saturday birthing out the baby boy that was chilling out inside her for the past 9 months. This is Sara and Linda's first baby together, and they've named him Rhodes Emilio Gilbert Perry. Sara also has two kids from a previous relationship, a 10-year-old son named Levi and a 7-year-old daughter named Sawyer.
I don't know if Linda and Sara will refer to their baby as Rhodes or Rhodes Emilio, but I hope they go formal and refer to him as Rhodes Gilbert Perry. Rhodes Gilbert Perry sounds like the name of an old money character from a movie about a messy party slob son who inherits his father's snobby country club. Rhodes Gilbert Perry's best friend is Franklin Franklinton III, and they don't understand what pizza is.
Then again, I'm sure he's nothing like this Rhodes Gilbert Perry character I've invented. Baby Rhodes no doubt spent his 9 months on the inside absorbing as much cool from Mommy Linda as possible. I wouldn't doubt you if you told me slid out of Sara's womb wearing an infant-sized necklace out of a set of vintage bronze keys and a knit beanie while riffing on a tiny Les Paul guitar. I don't know how he got it up there, but leave it to a cool baby to find a way.
And if you want to see what it would look like if Darlene from Roseanne tried to steal a basketball for David, here's Sara a couple weeks ago before she gave birth:

Sara Gilbert Is Knocked Up!
The good thing about being with someone with letters tattooed on their fingers is that you can easily tell them which finger you want during finger fuck times. Give me just the A! Now slowly bring in that N! Okay, shove the whole ANT in me. It just makes things easier and kind of educational. Now on to Sara Gilbert and Linda Perry's BABY!!! news…..
Sara Gilbert casually announced on her show The Talk today that she's got a womb full of her first kid with her wife Linda Perry. People says that during the show's "Facing Your Fears" segment, Sara said that she couldn't do her dare of lying on a bed of nails with a cinder block on her stomach, because doing so would be an act of fetus abuse since she's pregnant.
"I actually can't do it, because I'm pregnant," she revealed, tearing up. "I feel good, I feel really good … at first I was really tired."
This kid will be Sara's third and Linda Perry's first.
Sara didn't say who jacked off into a donor cup for her and the cholita Steven Tyler. I'm guessing that Johnny Galecki did the honors. It has to be Johnny Galecki. I mean, Sara Gilbert wouldn't be with Linda Perry if Johnny didn't "turn her into a lesbian" by putting his mouth on hers a million years ago, so it's only fitting.
Everybody Was A Damn Mess At The Daytime Emmys Last Night
I don't know if they pick themes for the Daytime Emmy Awards, but if I had to guess what last night's theme was, it's clearly "A Tribute to True Class and Good Taste". Every single moment, from the very first drunken stumble down the red carpet to the last rambling, profanity-laced acceptance speech, was practically a textbook definition of refinement, elegance, and dignity.
Take, for example, the understated elegance of demure English Rose Sharon Osbourne, who announced her arrival on the red carpet by throwing up a classy set of 'pussy fingers'. Wow. Such elegance. Much grace. Of course Sharon committed fully to the theme by acting like a horny late-in-life lesbian memaw by going for the crotch and tits of her The Talk co-stars Sheryl Underwood and Sara Gilbert.
But the real show happened inside, when Sharon presented an award (I know, I'm shocked she was still able to stand upright) and treated the audience to some "Drunk Aunt Carol going through some shit during Thanksgiving dinner" realness. Luckily, the 41st Daytime Emmys were only being broadcast online (how very amateur porn of you, Daytime Emmys):
"Finally! My lord, I feel like I've been her for five fucking hours and I just got here. Everyone can throw up in the toilet and go home and fuck everyone they work with. It's not being televised. So just fucking get pissed."
Speaking of pissed, the Emmy producers are probably super pissed today that they gave Giuliana Rancic (who looked like a beautiful shimmering brunette grasshopper bride) the night off from her duties as Head Red Carpet Microphone Ghoul, because the four "social media" mouth breathers they let take over the red carpet failed harder than Kim Kardashian trying to remember her baby's name. Rape jokes, jokes about fucking underage kids, referring to Lawrence Saint-Victor from The Bold and the Beautiful as "a beautiful chocolate man"; it was like watching 4-goon pile-up that no one wanted to call in the jaws of life for.
Here's more from the Primetime Emmy Awards Franzia-chugging Valium-snorting unstable disaster of an older sister. Sadly, the Daytime Emmys didn't reach their full messy potential, because one Very Important Day Drunk was missing: KATHIE LEE GIFFORD!!!
Darlene Conner And Linda Perry Got Married
People says that somewhere in California yesterday, 40-year-old Sara Gilbert (Side note: Yes, a single white hair grows out of your ass lips when you read the words "39-year-old Sara Gilbert." It's a natural reaction) started on the road to wedded misery with the chick from 4 Non Blondes. All together now: And I say haaaaaaaaaaaaaaay-yaaaay-yaaay-yay-yay-haaaaaay-yaaay-yaaay, I say, hay, congrats, bitches!
Darlene Conner and 49-year-old Linda Perry starting bumpin' 'ginas full-time around 3 years ago after Darlene got out of a really long relationship. Linda proposed to Darlene last year. UsWeekly says that Juliette Lewis was at their wedding, but other than that, there's no other details and I know that's making you prop up your eyelids with toothpicks, because you can't close them without knowing every detail about Darlene Conner's wedding. So let's just assume that Becky #1 and #2 were her bridesmaids, her something borrowed was a tuxedo made out of Roseanne's chicken shirt, Dan walked her down the aisle while wearing his baby blue bathrobe and DJ watched it all from the children's table where he belongs. Afterward, Sara Gilbert gave a special toast to Johnny Galecki for making her wedding possible by turning her into a lesbian with his gayelle-turning lips a million years ago.
And here's Sara and Linda a couple of weeks ago at an event for L.A.'s Gay and Lesbian Center. Sara did good, because Linda Perry looks like the spawn of Freddy Krueger and a cholo Gelfling and that IS the look.

Making Out With Johnny Galecki Made Sara Gilbert Realize That She's Not Into Dudes
The title of Sara Gilbert's future memoirs will be, "David From Roseanne Turned Me Into a Lesbian," because she confessed on The Talk yesterday that she realized that peen isn't really for her while making out with Johnny Galecki. If Sara wasn't a lesbian, making out with Johnny still would've been weird since they have the exact same mouth. They're mouth twins!
"Secret Week" on The Talk continues! Sharon Osbourne confessed that she rode Jay Leno's erect chin once. Aisha Tyler talked about her struggle to get pregnant. The Chenbot confessed to cutting some of the Chinese out of her eyes. Sheryl Underwood confessed that her born name is Noxeema Jackson, and yesterday Sara Gilbert spoke out about coming to terms with her gayelleness. Sara said that while she and Johnny worked together on Roseanne, they dated for a second or two. They used to make out and she knew something wasn't right when sucking on Johnny's face made her sad. The thing about making out when you're not into it is that the other ho can usually tell you're not into it. The trick who's not into it closes their eyes really tight, recoils a little bit and swallows your face the same way a Fear Factor contestant swallows a rat hair milkshake. They don't want to be doing it, but they're going to do it fast and get it over with. (Yes, I'm typing from experience). Johnny knew Sara wasn't into it and when he asked her about it, she told him the truth.
"Johnny felt badly and started to take it personally and didn't understand what was going on. So I eventually told him that I thought it was about my sexuality and he was super sweet about it. And then we were doing Roseanne and I started dating a woman who was 18 years older than I was and also in the public eye and something that people could've found out about. No one knew at the show for years. Johnny held the secret the whole time and I just felt always so scared if it came out. What could happen? Could I lose my career? Would I ever be able to play a straight role again?"
Sara said when she decided to share the story on The Talk, she called up Johnny to ask his permission:
"I called him and I just said, 'Is it okay? I'm thinking about talking about this and the story sort of starts with you. And I gotta say that I made out with you and got depressed, which is kind of a bummer.' And he said, 'Yeah, of course! I love you and I think it's really important. I'm so proud of you. If you want, I'll be there with you and I'll hold your hand.' And I just thought that was so sweet."
We all know that Johnny didn't "turn" Sara into a lesbian since that's not possible, but I will still help him prove that he doesn't have that power. I will make out with Johnny and I guarantee you I won't immediately want to rinse my mouth out with coochie afterward. But I cannot guarantee that after making out with my gross ass, Johnny won't become a-sexual and vow to never touch tongues with another living thing.
Here's Sara, who's quickly morphing into her fiancee Linda Perry, sharing her story on The Talk:
The Chenbot Admits She Got Eyelid Surgery To Look Less Chinese
Anybody who has seen old pictures of Julie Chen knows that her face was tucked, rotated, plucked, snipped, pulled and covered with an extra thick coat of candle wax and matte shellac. On The Talk yesterday, the Chenbot admitted what everyone has known for years: she's had plastic surgery before. But the Chenbot said that she only went under a plastic surgeon's scalpel because a producer and an agent told her she looked too Chinese to get ahead. I fully expect Aaryn Gries' mother to issue a 500-word statement about this.
As part of "secret week" on The Talk, Julie spilled the truth about her face. She said that when she was a 25-year-old local news reporter at an ABC affiliate in Dayton, OH, she tried to get ahead by asking her news director if she could ever fill in at the anchor desk. Julie's news director, who I'm guessing is Aaryn's uncle, told her she would never sit at the anchor desk because she's Chinese. He said that there's barely any Chinese people in Dayton, so she's not relatable at all to the community. He also told her that her Asian eyes made her look bored and disinterested.
The Chenbot wanted to get away from that news director and move to another station, so she met with some huge agent. The agent basically told her the same thing. He told her that the only way he'd represent her is if she got plastic surgery to make her eyes bigger, so she did it. Right after the Chenbot did what tons of Korean girls have done, her career started to take off. The Chenbot says that she sometimes feels guilty for "giving in to the man," which made Sheryl "I Hate My Nappy Hair" Underwood say, "You didn't give in to the man, Julie, because you don't know about giving in to the man." Translation: You can't say that, because you're not black, bitch. Whatever, the fuckery that comes out of Sheryl Underwood's mouth is a discussion for another day.
Julie then said that she's proud to be Chinese and she has no regrets about getting her eyelids cut and pulled. Here's the clip and I love it only for Aisha Tyler saying everything with a side-eye.
So Julie basically said that getting eyelid surgery helped her career and started it all for her. Okay, but getting an extra large Bumpit surgically implanted into her skull and marrying Les Moonves also turned her into the world famous Chenbot she is today.
Rumer Willis Was At The GLAAD Media Awards Too
Because Phoebe Price was already booked for the opening of an Arby's in the Santa Clarita Valley (I made that up), GLAAD hired Rumer Willis to be the resident seat filler at their Media Awards in Los Angeles last night. Wearing a fresh-out-of-the-plastic-bag polyester weave and serving up an eyebrow situation that'll make all the other taters in the garden salivate through their eyes with jealousy, Rumer hit the carpet and let everyone know that you don't need talent to get bitches to take your picture. You just need to come out of the right vagina.
When Tater Head sees these pictures of herself last night, she should chin who ever is responsible for painting her mug up like that. It looks like they just blew white flour in her face and called it a day. Bitch looks like uncooked potatoes au gratin. But you know, I can't fully hate on Rumer, because she's got a semi-hot piece at her side and last night I fell asleep between a body pillow and my farting chihuahua.
Here's some other hos at last night's GLAAD Media Awards: Tater with her piece Jayson Blair, Sara Gilbert, an understated Brad Goreski, Chaz Bono, the Evans brothers, Elle Fanning, Blue Ivy Carter's weekday babysitter, Kiki Dunst, Steven Tyler with a perm, Naya Rivera, the Noxzema Girl with McSteamy, Wilson Cruz, Beth Ditto with her girlfriend, Trevor Donovan assuming the position, Matt Dallas and Unique from Glee.
And I Say Haaaaay Yay Yay A A Haaaay Yay Yay!
"Darlene Conner! Pull your hand away from Lindsay Lohan's probably STD-infected leftover!" is a line that filled the thought bubble above my head after this picture touched my eyes, because I swear on the box of dusty dildos in the back of my closet that I thought this was Sara Gilbert and SamRo walking the streets together. I know all those twiggy lesbians in skinny jeans and beanies look the same to me. Call me racist. But thanks be to
God Bea Arthur, this isn't SamRo. Apparently, Sara Gilbert hopped off of her partner of 10 years and landed right on the crotch of 4 Non Blonde's Linda Perry.
Sara and Linda left some restaurant in West Hollywood yesterday hand-in-hand, which means they're totally clit wrestling. And by the looks of these pictures, that's all they're doing. Sara and Linda have been fucking so much that they don't even have time to bathe, brush their hair or do laundry. Somebody should tell Sara and Linda that they can fuck in the shower, you know. That's what a sponge vibrator is for. Duh.

McCain: Proud to Be a Maverick
Susan Davis reports on the presidential race.
Sen. John McCain's new television ad airing today in New Hampshire highlights his go-it-alone reputation and willingness to buck the Republican Party and public opinion — a popular message among the state's independent and swing voters that helped bring him victory there in 2000.
"Since I've been in Washington, I've made a lot of people angry," McCain says in the ad, listing his record of fighting earmark spending, supporting campaign finance reform, and standing by the president on the war in Iraq, among others. "I didn't go to Washington to win the Mr. Congeniality award. I went to Washington to serve my country. I might not like the business-as-usual crowd in Washington. But I love America. I love her enough to make some people angry."
McCain's campaign is betting against the current odds on a New Hampshire victory to help propel his bid into the general election. He's still trailing in the polls there, but recent numbers show McCain is gaining momentum in the state — he's now in second place behind Mitt Romney. McCain is embarking on a four day campaign swing through South Carolina this week, and Sen. Sam Brownback will be surrogating for McCain in Iowa Tuesday and Wednesday. Brownback bailed out of the presidential race because he lacked the support on a national level, but the socially conservative Kansan is popular among Iowans. He came in third in the Ames Straw Poll in August.

TC TO JAMES MARSHALL ; 13 March 1853; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18530313-TC-JMA-01; CL 28: 76-79
Chelsea, 13 March, 1853—
Dear Marshall,
I got your Letter some ten days ago; and was very glad to hear of you again, and understand that I was not forgotten in Weimar. No spot in my travels looks brighter to me than that interesting little city; if I were a painter I could put it all on canvas by help of memory,—the Ettersburg, pretty Belvedere, Tiefurth,1 Goethe's House, Schiller's House and Death-chamber: all this and more, winding up with your emphatic final remonstrance to the railway porter, "Sie MÜSSEN warten [You must wait]!," remains with me vivid as reality, and is like to remain. Thanks to the kind friends that made it pleasant,—thanks to you chiefly who stood at the centre of the operation! I was in the contemptiblest state of wretchedness on the physical side; and you had a rather heavy task, I do perceive; but, by dint of dextrous assiduity and imperturbable good humour, you managed it,—more power to your elbow! The remembrance of those unendurable physical confusions, want of bed-curtains, want of sleep, want of &c &c, enough to drive a poor thin skinned wretch to the verge of Bedlam in the end, is gradually dying away; falling down like foul bewildering dust; and the essential phenomenon itself will remain in a clear state, and continue to be a possession for me. That the Imperial Lady, her Highness the Grand Duchess, still remembers me, is a great honour; for which I will beg you, in some good time and way, to express my human gratitudes,—as surely they are well due in that quarter; nor is anything of Belvedere, least of all the noble Mistress of it, likely to be forgotten on my side.
We did not see Eckermann at Berlin, as you are aware; by a curious infelicity he had again fled, two days before our appearance there. I was very sorry; two intimate English friends, lady sisters familiars of my wifes, who come often about us here, had waited nearly a week in the Royal Hô tel under the Lindens for us,—and just gone two hours, when we came to lodge there!2 My more and more feverish distraction of nerves, to which none of those kind souls could have brought any remedy, made such misfortunes at once more sad to me and more indifferent,—new showers upon a rat already drowned, all but the inner imagination of him! The search for Eckermann, however, procured us accidentally the Painter Magnus's acquaintance, who proved to be a truly superior painter and person, full of helpfulness withal, and one of my chief resources while in Berlin. Ten days or a fortnight there: but I made nothing of it; I met with hardly any man worth going ten yards to see; what was still sadder, hardly any man or thing that could give me the least instruction about my hero Fritz: all the world was full of talk about their big Rauch's monument, and seemed to think that had done the whole business,—while, alas, I found that that had done simply no "business" at all (except perhaps consecrate the "artistic," pedantic, and other expensive Owleries of poor mankind), and that, for an inquiring soul with reason and a heart in him, Rauch and his copper mountain were not intended! Had it not been for Magnus I do not even think I should have discovered any real Portrait of Fritz at Berlin: no mortal seemed to know of such a thing, or to be in the least want of it; Rauch himself, a fine mild ingenious old gentleman, had astonishingly little to say on that or any cognate subject. And in the Royal Library too— But let me say nothing more of all that; let me remember only how good every one was to me, how patient with the foreign savage and his disappointments and indignations Of a truth, if Frederic the Great did injury to German Literature and Kunst [art], said Kunst and Literature have richly paid him back again! I said to myself a hundred times, Ye speaking, painting, dissertating, poetizing, most "artistic" (vorstellungsfähig [imaginative]) German People, is this then all you can do to "represent" a great man and hero, when the gods send you one? You unfortunate!— I saw Kaulbach's3 huge Allegorical Paintings, acres of indian smearing,—and hastened in to look at Chodowiecki's Prints, a sane and genial thing. I saw big Radowitz, and shall not forget him; Cornelius,4 and many persons doing the Catolisch [Roman Catholic],—ach Gott: "doing" it; which is forever damnable! By far the beautifullest thing, indeed the only truly beautiful thing I saw in Berlin, was good and brave old Tieck, pathetically bright like the setting sun; lying on his sofa now, not to rise any more, his race being run.5
On the whole I made but little of Germany; and have to admit that my journey (by blame of my own, I am aware) was somewhat of a failure. Nevertheless I do remember the Rhine stream and its banks; the image of a grand world-river, I find, was not in me before: the Binger Loch, and the Gewissf, 6 and many other points and places,—in spite of the dirty Frenchmen elbowing me,—are very memorable. Do the Wartburg and all Luther's localities. Of Cities I remember Weimar best; then Marburg, with its old Deutsch-meisters, St Elizabeth,7 Philip with the Two Wives, and actual Hassenpflug & Co.8 Dresden looked like a battered old beau; the Sächsische Schweitz9 not equal to a foolish ride thro' the Cumberland Lakes. For the rest I saw Lowositz Battlefield in Böheman, and Kunersdorf with Frankfurt on the Oder:10— —in fact, in fact, I did see something; and ought not to waste more time in complaining that it was so little. I believe I like the German People better than ever; but somehow have acquired a new sense of their tendency to prosy inconclusiveness, and talk and thought that leads nowhither; and have learned (chiefly, I suppose, by reading in these Prussian Histories) to regard the German Dryasdust with an almost devout terror, and indeed to regard the commonplace German sage and artist, with pen once in his hand, as one of the most alarming and a quite peculiar phenomenon. From which good Lord deliver me at any rate!—
My health till lately has been quite below par ever since my return; these long-tortured nerves are only now beginning to get to their old pitch again. I still read about Fritz; but there is no information upon him to be had in this world I believe! "Very well, " I sometimes say, "You have lived long without the Zollerns,11 they without you: Why not continue so?"—
Adieu, dear Marshall; you must give my kind and never-altering regards to Eckermann; and can assure all Weimar friends who may remember me (for such is the real fact) that I have not forgotten them, nor forgotten to think gratefully of them. Yours always truly / T. Carlyle

Latest Headlines
BlackBerry is teaming up with Verizon Wireless to give $150 in bill credits per device to enterprises that upgrade their legacy BlackBerry devices to newer BlackBerry 10 smartphones and the BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 platform.
BlackBerry CEO John Chen said he is feeling good about the company's turnaround prospects despite continued financial losses, sagging revenues and weaker smartphone shipments.
BARCELONA, Spain--BlackBerry CEO John Chen officially unveiled the company's next two smartphones, a mid-range touchscreen phone called the Z3 and another mid-tier phone with a physical Qwerty keyboard called the Q20.
BlackBerry CEO John Chen said that his main focus is on building back up the company's legacy enterprise business, and argues that customers using smartphones on other platforms would be welcome to use BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 and the company's enterprise security and services.
BlackBerry's interim CEO John Chen issued an open letter to BlackBerry's enterprise customers in which he declared that the company is here to stay. He also reminded the market that the company's BlackBerry 10 platform can perform mobile device management for other smartphone platforms, not just BlackBerry.
BlackBerry it still a public company, and though it declined to hold a conference call to discuss its weak quarterly results last week, the company exposed the depth of its problems and challenges in a regulatory filing. The filing lays bare that the company is struggling in emerging markets, especially against smartphones running Google's Android software, where it once found growth and success.
BlackBerry, in the midst of trying to go private, is hitting back against a recent report from research firm Gartner that warned the company does not have a long-term future.
BlackBerry reports earnings for its fiscal first quarter on Friday, the first full quarter impacted by sales of its new BlackBerry 10 smartphones, but financial analysts disagree over how sales and profits will shake out for the company as it charts its comeback.
BlackBerry reported that in its fiscal fourth quarter, which ran until March 2, it sold 1 million units of its new flagship Z10 smartphone, the first to run its BlackBerry 10 platform. However, in a troubling sign for the company, it also said that its subscriber base fell to 76 million, down from 79 million at the end of the previous quarter and 80 million the quarter before that.
Research In Motion said its new BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 platform is now available for enterprise and government customers to download, one of the final preludes to the company's launch of BlackBerry 10 next week. RIM's BES 10 platform not only will support device management and security for BlackBerry smartphones and tablets but also for gadgets running Apple's iOS and Google's Android.

Dependents of J-1 Students
In the language of immigration regulations, the individual in J-1 exchange visitor status is the "principal alien". Your dependents - spouse or unmarried, minor (under age 21) children - come to the United States in a derivative status, J-2. That means their primary purpose for being in the United States is to accompany you. Their J-2 status is completely dependent on your valid J-1 status.
Each J-2 dependent will receive his or her own SEVIS-generated form DS-2019, with a unique SEVIS ID number. However, it is the J-1 principal who signs the DS-2019.The J-1 student has to provide documentation showing the availability of funds in excess of their own cost of living expenses to obtain a dependent DS-2019. Currently, it is $1,000/month for a spouse, and $500/month per child. In addition, each dependent must provide a copy of his or her passport.
Federal regulations allow individuals
in J-2 status to apply for employment authorization from the United States
Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), as long as the J-1 is self-supporting.
The International Students
and Scholars Office administers an International Spouse Network through
which spouses of students and scholars can meet others in similar situations.
Domestic Partners
For J-1s, the dependent status of J-2 is reserved for spouses, and/or unmarried, minor (under age 21) children. This presents difficulties for those in relationships without marriage.
In July, 2001 the State Department sent a cable to consulates putting forth new guidance stating that B-2 (visitor) visas may be appropriate for cohabiting (unmarried) partners, whether of the same or opposite sex.
The cable explains that only a relationship that is recognized under law as granting all the rights of marriage can be the basis for a dependent visa such as F-2, J-2, H-4, etc.
However, an unmarried partner whose primary purpose in coming to the U.S. is to accompany his or her partner can be issued a B-2 as long as he or she does not intend to work, and is otherwise eligible for a visa.
Though B-2 visits are usually for short periods of time, it is permissible for the accompanying partner to intend to accompany the principal for the duration of a study program in the U.S. The accompanying partner must intend to depart at the conclusion of the principal's authorized stay in the U.S. In such cases there is a fixed end point, and therefore the B-2 applicant meets the requirement of temporary intent, even though she intends to stay longer than six months or a year.
This cable pre-dates September 11 and the ensuing security measures and added scrutiny that visa applications have received since then, and the ISSO has no knowledge of how this guidance is being applied.

Confession time. Some of us need "white noise" to fall asleep. We can only drift off if we're listening to soft music or a sound machine that our guy believes he controls (we'll discuss this issue at another time). The Ellery Sound Asleep Comfort Pillow ($30) feels our pain. It features a built-in speaker that we can connect to any audio source (like an mp3 player, smart phone, radio, whatev...) to help us get that beauty rest we so crave. The pillow is filled with polyester fiber and a cotton cover that we can easily spot clean when needed. If he wants to fall asleep in luxury like this, he'll just have to get his own.
We love that there are so many kinds of Sleep Pillows available.

Overall Rating for Whip-It Specialist PLUS Whipped Cream Dispenser (1 pint ALL stainless steel)
I have an older version of this. We have used it for several years and I am in the process of ordering a new one. You can use it for more than whip cream. I'm going o order a larger version so I can put pancake batter in it. This way you can make a few pancakes at a time on demand. They come out fluffy.
An older version...
By Thomas B from Fremont CA. on March 2, 2014
FOR WHIP CREAM-I use a table spoon of Agave, and a table spoon of vanilla. It makes delicious whip cream every time, and it's a lot more healthy than using sugar. Sometimes I use flavors like Irish Cream, or Strawberry, or Hazelnut. You can experiment and try what you like. This is the single most used item in our kitchen.
I have purchased one as a gift for my mother who loves it...
I have purchased one for my daughter who also loves it...

I love this! It saved me so much time, and dishes. Usually, we all have to wait for dessert on the holidays until I get my bowl cold, pour in the cream and sugar, then whisk with the beater. Now, it's pour, click, serve....all within a couple minutes. Best part, no mess and no waste. It was good until gone, one week later.
Loved this!
By Jen from Rostraver, PA on December 1, 2011

Tried several times now, but the whip cream comes out runny. Reread directions and had others try it also. It comes out shooting out all over and then is not whip cream consistency. The dispenser is heavy and hard to use since it has to be tipped over completely. Have to ommit that I hate it and wish I never purchase them. I gave one of the away as a gift to my Daughter in Law and she did not have any better luck.

The product itself is better then I expected. Thr all stainless construction is really awesome, it really is all stainless, even the screw-on part that holds the charger. I read a review where someone said that this part was a cylinder with a flat disc tack-welded on. That reviewer said the disc broke loose on his, rendering it useless. I can assure you that Whip-It has fixed this problem. It's now one solid piece and functions perfectly.
This thing is quality all the way. All silicone seals inside and out. Works amazing. The trigger is adjustable. Just buy it.

Hotel with two very different sections
Grand Rose Spa Hotel is divided in two main sections: old-one and new-one.
I don't know why but we got room from old-one. You really have to make SURE if you are coming to this hotel that you ENSURE your room will be on new side of hotel with air condition. Our room was 121 and it was really small and old without air condition. Toilet smelled really bad maybe because of old pipes and in the evening and night you could see some little bugs crawling fast on the toilets floor. Our room was located to bottom floor next to vidid street and night clubs. There is even bench right under the window where people can sit down and chat. It was almost impossible to sleep at nights due to less of air condition and very noisy street. We had to buy some ear plugs to reduce noise at nights but room temperature was so high that we had to open window so then again more noise came inside the room. Room price was 149 euros per night and staff wasn't interested at all if you can sleep or not so service was mainly really bad. When we came there to check-in with all bags the clerk just shouted eyes glued to some her own papers that "Are you checking in or what?". Nobody - of course helped with the bags and they didn't give any instructions where to park own car - only thing they were interested was car register number. In the Spa on the men side you could'n close toilet door and the smell of the pipes was really bad. Showers were also pretty bad shape like the water couldn't come easily down. Water in warm water pool was so hot that nobody couldn't go there - no one. We saw few times that people tried to go in warm water pool but they could lie their legs down to pool only in few seconds. Due to bad room, noisy environment, bad service, expensive prices and simple spa I really recommend to check other hotel opportunities in Kuresaare.
