Director: Walter White
Company: VCA Platinum Plus
Cast: Anna Malle, Jeanna Fine, T.T. Boy, Steven St. Croix, Danyel Cheeks, Shelby Stevens, Rebecca Wild, Rebecca Lord, Sandi Beach, Juli Ashton, Jon Dough, Tony Tedeschi, Tom Chapman, Ron Jeremy, Tera Heart, Roxanne Hall
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Feature
Remember the Diet Coke commercial where a bunch of women are standing around ogling a construction worker? Ron Jeremy does an absolutely hilarious takeoff in this vid. Jeanna Fine, Sandi Beach, Shelby Stevens and Roxanne Hall get so hot and bothered watching Jeremy dribble food all over his big, hairy belly that they indulge in a fourway Diet Cunt dildofest!
Everything in this video hits the mark. Every joke works, and nearly every sex scene sizzles. Jeremy and Jon Dough host a public access talk show, "Balls Out." Their first guest is Danyel Cheeks, who agrees to fuck Dough but won't let Jeremy touch her. Nominate Jeremy for best nonsexual performance as he somehow manages to keep a straight face, continuing the interview with questions like, "Is he fucking you good?" as she howls in ecstasy. The scene ends with an amazing, volcanic eruption of cum on Cheek's ass crack from the cowgirl position.
Another highlight is the commercial for "Buttsaver," a product you apply to your ass in anticipation of anal sex, that will have it smelling "springtime fresh." Tera Heart's ensuing anal scene with Tom Chapman is absolutely the hottest she's ever done. Whether her enthusiasm in this scene is genuine or acted only she knows for sure, but damn, it keeps your finger off the fast forward button.
Mixing great comedy and hot sex is a difficult balancing act to pull off, but director Walter White succeeds in perfectly assimilating the yucks with the fucks. Nominate Park Forest for best screenplay.
Retailers: stock, stock, stock! This is the kind of quality video you can confidently feature in a "satisfaction guaranteed or your next rental free" promo.

Blue named to USA Basketball's U18 team
For the second time in a year, a member of Marquette University's men's basketball team will be playing for his country.
Incoming freshman Vander Blue on Wednesday was one of 12 players named to USA Basketball's U18 National Team after a three-day, four-practice tryout at the University of Texas-San Antonio.
Blue, a 6-foot-4 guard from Madison Memorial, joins former Golden Eagles standout Lazar Hayward in playing on a USA Basketball team. Hayward won a bronze medal after being named to the World University Games team last June in Belgrade, Serbia.
"It's a blessing. It's all God's will," Blue was quoted as saying on usabasketball.com. "Coming from Madison, Wisconsin, nobody ever really hears about us or knows where we are on the map. We're not known for having basketball players.
"I've been through a lot this year and at first I was nervous because I wasn't really scoring, but I put all my hope on defense and just playing hard and showing the coaches that I'll do anything that it takes to win. I'm glad they picked me, and now I'm ready to win a gold medal."
Blue and the rest of the U18 team will remain in San Antonio and practice twice daily leading up to the FIBA Americas Championship, which takes place June 26-30 at Saint Mary's University, also in San Antonio.
They will twice scrimmage against USA Basketball's U17 World Championship Team and also against Brazil's U18 National Team. The team is coached by Oklahoma's Jeff Capel, with Georgia Tech's Paul Hewitt and Buffalo's Reggie Witherspoon.
"We're excited about Vander having the opportunity to represent not only himself and his family, but our country," said MU coach Buzz Williams. "He is playing with and for elite-level players and coaches, and I'm not sure there is a more beneficial way for him to continue to prepare for his collegiate career than what he will be doing over the next two weeks."
Blue said there was no secret to how he was able to make the team, which will feature a talented backcourt also consisting of Washington sophomore-to-be Abdul Gaddy -- who helped the Huskies beat MU in the first round of the NCAA tournament in San Jose, Calif., in March.
Other guards include incoming Duke freshman Kyrie Irving and Austin Rivers, son of former MU star and current Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers.
"Defense and hard work," Blue said. "Everybody here can score, everybody is a superstar, so it's really about who you can stop. Playing these international teams they can score just like we can, and the main focus of the game is to stop your opponent from scoring.
"It's whoever can put the ball in the basket more than the opposing team, so you always need that player than can stop that main guy who is getting hot, and I want to take that role on this team and be the defensive stopper.
"I'll put all my scoring aside; I'm used to scoring a lot but all that means nothing to me right now. We're a team. We have to win this together. There's going to be different nights different players show up, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes."
The FIBA Americas Championship will feature eight national teams from North, South and Central America and the Caribbean. The U.S. was placed into Group A, along with defending FIBA Americas Championship gold medalist Argentina, Mexico and the Virgin Islands.
Group B includes Brazil, Canada, Puerto Rico and Uruguay.
The U.S. will open preliminary play against the Virgin Islands on June 26 at 7 p.m. Central, take on Mexico on June 27 at 7 p.m. and then close preliminary play against Argentina on June 28 at 7 p.m. The semifinals are slated for June 29, and the finals will be held June 30.
Not only will a gold medal be at stake, the top four finishing nations will qualify for the 2011 FIBA U19 World Championship. Players eligible for this competition must have been born on or after Jan. 1, 1992.
You can find a complete roster, quotes from the players, head shots, more details about the team and how the team was selected on USA Basketball's website.

Another f*cking back-up forward? I know we're a little weak there, but Jesus Christ. Is there a back-up forward that we haven't been linked to this offseason? And I'm not going to trust what Raptors fans have to say, they're just looking to dump an overpaid player. The only concrete rumor we have is that we're getting Dwayne Jones and Bosh's trade exception. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

text: The Mako wiki last edited by fesak on 05/01/15 03:35AM View full history OriginMako is a young upstart super villain who is recruited into a Young Masters by a new Executioner and Egghead. Rounding out the new super villain group would be a new female Black Knight and Radioactive Kid. These young villains have have radical new ideas and are sick of the stale and stagnant state of the current status quo and established villains attitudes. Lead by Daniel Dubois, the Executioner, the Young Masters start to pick off older established villains, or they at least try to. They eventually run into conflict with teenage superhero group the Teen Brigade.CreationMako is a Marvel comics published character and was created by Joe Casey and Nick Dragotta in 2011 and first appeared in Vengeance #1 - Book One. The character is most likely meant to bare semblance to the character Tigershark.Character EvolutionMako had a limited amount of appearances and really only seemed to be created to be expendable. A theme of the the Young Masters the group the character was involved in was to take similar identifies to older established villains/characters. Radioactive Kid being a rift of Radioactive Man and so on. Mako seems based on Tigershark.Major Story ArcsVengeanceThe Young Masters, a teenage group of villains paying homage to the Masters of Evil is formed. Mako is one of the members and the group tired of the old guards way of doing things set about bringing down established heroes. Their actions set about a chain reaction which could potentially imbalance the very nature of order and chaos bringing the group in conflict with the Teen Brigade who are harboring the cosmic entity The Inbetweener. During a mission to see if Bullseye is actually deceased the Young Masters encounter the deadly Lady Bullseye who eventually kills Mako, slicing his head off before allowing the rest of the Masters to depart.He got better though, and later reappeared in Avengers Undercover.Powers and AbilitiesMako presumably has aquatic powers and super strength, and was considered the heavy muscle of the Young Masters group.

I am more inclined to vote yes if I get paid fast, anyone know how long from tendering to payment?
This is straight from the tender offer letter: "If the Merger takes place, you
will receive the Merger Consideration in exchange for your Shares, which is the same amount of
consideration per Share that you would have received had you tendered your Shares in the Offer,
subject to your right to pursue appraisal under Delaware law. Therefore, if the Merger takes place and
you do not perfect your appraisal rights, the only difference between tendering your Shares and not
tendering your Shares in the Offer is that you will be paid earlier if you tender your Shares. If we
accept and purchase Shares in the Offer, we will have sufficient voting power to approve the Merger
without the affirmative vote of any other stockholder of Trius. Furthermore, if pursuant to the Offer or
otherwise we own at least 90% of the outstanding Shares, we may effect the Merger without any
further action by the stockholders of Trius."
Sounds like they are paying those who tender earlier than those who don't...
If I were Cubist, I would be buying every share possible at this price, to avoid paying the $2 and to control the voting results.
Not going to swear to this, but have been through this once before and I beleive it works a follows.
The offer is open for 21 business days. Assuming that they get the 51% by then, the first stage of the merger closes and the tendered shares are bought and paod within a few days of the close.
After that they will take some more time to complete the second stage of the merger where Cubist (now with full majority) votes for a complete merger and the remaining shares get bought at the same terms. I beleive thet are looking for mid Nov for it all to be wrapped up.
So I think there is no advantage to tendering early (today), and you lose the option to sell on the open market in case of a spike. But there is a reason to tender before the offer expires (as you avoid having to wait an extra month or two). My plan is to tender in a few weeks unless something changes.
BTW, if you tender and they end up having to up the offer, you will get the upped offer, so that is not a concern.
However with my 58K shares that I am sitting on a nice profit I can push it to Jan 2014, i can defer the tax. Is it possible ? yes but probable ? may not be..
thanks Fib, I guess I will wait a few weeks on this. I don't have any tendering info from my broker at this point.
Fibonacci is correct - all shares tendered are paid together after the offer closes.

MTV's 'Scream' Pays Tribute to Wes Craven
Ahead of its season finale, the MTV horror series offered a fitting memorial to the filmmaker, who passed away Sunday.
Ahead of its season finale, the MTV horror series offered a fitting memorial to the filmmaker, who passed away Sunday.
The filmmaker behind A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream and countless other horror movies lost a battle to brain cancer.
Say goodbye to the original Ghostface mask and hello to this one, which Wes Craven says "takes the series into a new direction."
With "The Disciples" already in the works, the horror legend has inked a deal that includes a reimagining of his 1991 classic, and an adaptation of Daryl Gregory's novel.
This week, learn whether the iconic Ghostface mask was really discovered in an abandoned house during location scouting for the first Scream.
MTV announced it has ordered a television pilot based on Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson's hit horror franchise Scream.
Masters of horror Wes Craven and Steve Niles are partnering to create a comic called Coming of Rage that will be developed for the big screen by producer Arnold Rifkin and Liquid Comics.
A television series based on Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson's Scream franchise is in the early stages of development at MTV.
Wes Craven says the chances of seeing another Scream movie are pretty high thanks to the studio's continued interest in the franchise.
The latest installment in the Scream franchise invokes and honors the spirit of the first movie while more than making up for the last one.
Director Wes Craven and the cast of Scream 4, led by returning stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette, discuss their experience making the film and the legacy of the popular franchise.
New photos have been released from Scream 4, which sees the return of Neve Campbell's Sidney Prescott, and Ghostface, to Woodsboro. Directed by Wes Craven, the movie opens on April 15.

For over 100 years, laboratory-scale von Kármán vortex streets (VKVSs) have been one of the most studied phenomena within the field of fluid dynamics. During this period, countless publications have highlighted a number of interesting underpinnings of VKVSs; nevertheless, a universal equation for the vortex shedding frequency (\(N\)) has yet to be identified. In this study, we have investigated \(N\) for mesoscale atmospheric VKVSs and some of its dependencies through the use of realistic numerical simulations. We find that vortex shedding frequency associated with mountainous islands, generally demonstrates an inverse relationship to cross-stream obstacle length (\(L\)) at the thermal inversion height of the atmospheric boundary layer. As a secondary motive, we attempt to quantify the relationship between \(N\) and \(L\) for atmospheric VKVSs in the context of the popular Strouhal number (\(Sr\))–Reynolds number (\(Re\)) similarity theory developed through laboratory experimentation. By employing numerical simulation to document the \(Sr{-}Re\) relationship of mesoscale atmospheric VKVSs (i.e., in the extremely high \(Re\) regime) we present insight into an extended regime of the similarity theory which has been neglected in the past. In essence, we observe mesoscale VKVSs demonstrating a consistent \(Sr\) range of 0.15–0.22 while varying \(L\) (i.e, effectively varying \(Re\)).

Slap-hitting trend strikes Oklahoma City
Updated: July 12, 2005, 9:29 PM ETBy Mary Buckheit | ESPN.com
OKLAHOMA CITY The slap is the new black. Everyone's doing it.
If you haven't seen too much fastpitch softball, you may be surprised by the feet all aflutter in the batter's box. Hitters begin their 60-foot trek to first base while the pitch is still on the way. Don't be alarmed by their early exit. It's an intentional element of the slap sensation, which is sweeping across college softball.
Maybe Earl Weaver could wait for the three-run homer, but the teams in Oklahoma ...

What is it that caused your great-grandmother on her meeting with your great-grandfather to recognize him as her future mate and the future father of her children? You can call it a mystery, but it is a mystery that does not imply doubt. We can presume she felt something definite. She felt affinity.
Robert Aitken (1734 - 1802)

Affinity, affinity. All beings are made up by affinity. The whole universe, through every dimension, forms a vast net of affinity that is all of a piece--a multi-dimensional web. With any movement within the web, everything moves. Each gesture, each blink brings a new kind of equilibrium and new kinds of interplay throughout the net. This is a never-ending process from the unknown past to the unknown future, and through all other dimensions including the eternal present. Touches that bring joy and harmony bring new interplay and new equilibrium. Touches that cause suffering and death bring new interplay and new equilibrium as well.
When you hear that my body has ceased to exist, please do not feel sad. Just look deeply and see that my life and work continue in so many friends, so many young people, in their own ways and through their work. I will continue in everyone and everything I have ever touched. I have nothinng to fear and nothing to regret.

A soul connection is a resonance between two people who respond to the essential beauty of each other's individual natures, behind their facades, and who connect on this deeper level. This kind of mutual recognition provides the catalyst for a potent alchemy. It is a sacred alliance whose purpose is to help both partners discover and realize their deepest potentials. While a heart connection lets us appreciate those we love just as they are, a soul connection opens up a further dimension -- seeing and loving them for who they could be, and for who we could become under their influence. This means recognizing that we both have an important part to play in helping each other become more fully who we are....A soul connection not only inspires us to expand, but also forces us to confront whatever stands in the way of that expansion.

Eurostar told all passengers booked to travel before Christmas to consider cancelling their journey unless essential.
At St Pancras passengers formed a slow-moving line that stretched for hundreds of metres around the block outside the station.
With temperatures hovering around freezing, charity workers handed out cups of tea to passengers wrapped up in scarves, gloves and woolly hats.
Some said they had been waiting for five hours or more and expected to be queuing late into the night.
The unexpected cold snap has forced Eurostar to impose speed limits on its cross-Channel trains, adding up to two hours to journey times. That meant fewer trains were available to carry passengers.
"Please do not travel to the station as unfortunately we are not able to accept any more passengers for travel today," it said in a statement on its website. "A restricted service will operate for the rest of this week."

Answer: Nothing, absolutly nothing.

Solution: Leave. Tell media if they stay it's their problem.

Illegal immigrants are criminals. They should be treated like criminals.
That is the immigration model to follow.
Why does an illegal immigrant criminal get to decide they are more deserving of being in this country than someone who waits in line lawfully.
I'd rather have the person obeying the laws of my country living in my country.

Arizona has shown leadership here, standing up to Obama and his deliberate lack
of enforcement.
Governor Brewer has been fearless in calling for Federal enforcement or allowing the state to defend itself.
Her path has been blocked every step of he way.
She stands in stark contrast to the long list of politicians who are apologists for illegal aliens rather than insisting on upholding the law of the land, laws they are sworn to uphold.
Jan Brewer lives her oath of office. In that regard at least, the Arizona model is unique and refreshing.

The Republican party has historically had a rule-of-law principle as one of the
centerpieces of it's party platform. That's the reason so many
Republicans are so enthusiastically supportive of the party and for what it
stands (or stood) for.
It's difficult to see party leaders contemplating selling out one of their core principles for potential votes. In the long run, any individual or organization who is willing to compromise their principles for popularity (votes) will eventually lose much more than they might gain in the short term. They will also lose much of the support and respect of it's core constituency and even some of it's own self respect. It's a difficult lesson to learn, but is appearing to be one that the Republican party might have to learn the hard way.

would anyone care to provide details of what the GOP did concerning immigration
in the years under Bush when they also controlled the house and the senate?
I seem to remember them doing absolutely NOTHING. And they could have passed virtually anything that they wanted.
Anyone? Anything?

See HB4437, passed the House in 2005. Ignored by the Senate.
GW Bush/Rove courted the Latino vote throughout both terms. 9/11 derailed his amnesty plan efforts. Bush lobbied hard but lost. (Thank goodness.)
The Senate was under GOP control for 4 Bush years and had razor thin majorities. The House was GOP for 6 Bush years and passed a good ENFORCEMENT bill that didn't advance.

I've been trying for the life of me to figure out how to change the default "thumbtack" icon of the "Posts" menu on the backend to something else. Unfortunately, when searching Google for this, all I get is how to do it with Custom Post Types—not the default/existing "post" post-type. I know with a Custom Post Type you use 'menu_icon' in your args when registering the Custom Post Type, but I can't figure out how to do it with 'post'. I assume it's something like changing the labels, so I tried this:
function change_post_icon() {
global $wp_post_types;
$args = &$wp_post_types['post'];
$args->menu_icon = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/images/newsletters-icon.png';
However, that didn't work. Any ideas? I'm of course editing my functions.php file.
Thanks for any assistance!

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Jan 01st, 2007
Running Time: 164
Director: Rodney Moore
Company: Rodnievision
Cast: Carmella Crush, Rodney Moore, RayVeness, Erica Lauren, Ange Venus, T J Cummings, Simone Riley, Marco Banderas, Kimmie Morr
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
The awesomely (albeit irrelevantly) titled Milf and Honey showcases half a dozen lengthy segments of six aged Rodney conquests, and - captured entirely in full-color Rodnievision - the production's beauties shake what their mamas and/or plastic surgeons gave 'em.
The first chapter is longest, starring three women with two men (neither of which is director Moore); and a poolside skinny-dipping yields lesbian and orgified hetero sex.
Kimmie Morr, the scene's eldest and most natural, gets pounded hardest, taking Marco Duato on one end and T.J. Cummings directly on the other (though this latter holds off to pop on the other two sluts while they sleep).
Later, Rodney interviews RayVeness for his club's open "waitress" position. As usual, they fuck. Also as usual, RayVeness is the highlight; and her performance is - as predicted - the best reason to purchase the DVD. Oldie Erica Lauren, however, displays her seniority as quite a close second.
And Ange Venus has hair almost down to her feet!
Retailing: Tell those fools that Rodney rules!

Comments about Cesare Pavese
Stunned by the world, I reached an age
when I threw punches at air and cried to myself.
Listening to the speech of women and men,
not knowing how to respond, it's not fun.
But this too has passed: I'm not alone anymore,
and if I still don't know how to respond,
I don't need to. Finding myself, I found company.
I learned that before I was born I had lived

Montegut man killed in midnight Sunday wreck
Published: Sunday, February 1, 2009 at 1:37 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 1, 2009 at 1:39 p.m.
THIBODAUX A Montegut man was killed early Sunday morning when his car spun off a Bourg highway and struck a tree, state police said.
Travis D. Harper, 20, was driving a 1997 Ford Taurus just minutes after midnight along La. 55 in Bourg, about one mile south of La. 24, when his car began to yaw and rotate counter clockwise due to driver error, police said.
The car veered left off the roadway then completely rotated and struck a tree on the drivers side door.
Harper, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was pronounced dead at the scene.
He was the lone occupant of the car and no one else was injured, police said.
Police did not know whether alcohol was a factor in the crash. Blood tests are pending.

usually, if plaintext is compressed, there must be decompression routine. How does js engine interpret minified compressed js scripts??
Does js engine have built-in deminification algorithms??
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
usually, if plaintext is compressed, there must be decompression routine. How does js engine interpret minified compressed js scripts??
Does js engine have built-in deminification algorithms??
First, you need to understand that there is a difference between minification and compression.
1. Minification does not compress
Minification is the process of reducing JavaScript to as few bytes as possible, by removing extra whitespace, changing variable names to shorter ones, etc. The encoding and characters of the file remain the same. Since a minified file doesn't actually change the encoding or functionality, nothing is needed to convert a file back since nothing really changed.
2. Compression changes a file
When you compress a file, say using gzip, you are re-encoding the data of a file or stream into a different encoding that takes up less space. It is in this instance where a decompression routine is needed to translate the file back to its uncompressed state. When uncompressed, the file returns to its original state.
3. Browsers use a combination of compression and minifcation to achieve as small of a bandwidth footprint as possible.
What's great about minification and compression is that they ARE two separate processes that do two separate things, and they can be combined to deliver as small a file to the browser as possible. For example, the original jQuery source right now is well over 200K, but through minifcation AND delivering the file compressed, it only takes ~30K of bandwidth to deliver to the browser.
it does not need to be decompressed, minified code is still javascript, its just harder for humans to read.
Minified javascript is still javascript. Think of it as removing the white space and renaming long variable to shorter variable.
Minified JavaScript is simply that same code, but abbreviated (e.g. var foobar = 2 may before var a=2;)
GZipped JavaScript files (and other static files) are genuinely compressed, and do indeed get decompressed by the client machine before the engine uses them.
The browser will identify to the server that it can access zipped content by a header similar to
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate

From Booklist
"Smart and provocative . . . O'Farrell has made her mark by combining the elements of good old-fashioned drama with a modern lightness of touch in language and a deft freedom in moving her narratives forward through juxtaposition rather than linear plotting . . . Over and over, she tries to work out who people really are, how ordinary lives can conceal extraordinary stories."
–The New York Times Book Review
"Searing . . . Astonishing . . . Perhaps a perfect book . . . Full of unforgettable players . . . Instructions for a Heatwave is never dull, never unconvincing, proceeding at a stately and crisp speed through a fully rendered world, grappling at all times and in an original way with the fascinating problems of our time, rushing head-long—and yet staggering almost drunkenly when necessary—towards a stirring and wondrous conclusion."
–Los Angeles Review of Books
"Maggie O'Farrell has written my favorite kind of novel: big-hearted, psychologically complex, and utterly gripping from page one. Her spare and subtle prose yields a narrative of extraordinary power. Instructions for a Heatwave is a quiet masterpiece, one I'll be recommending for years to come."
–Maria Semple, author of Where'd You Go, Bernadette
"Instructions for a Heatwave is a thoroughly engrossing and suspenseful novel about an Irish family and its disparate members coming together one unbearably hot summer. Their mission is to find a father who has wandered off. Their unspoken mission is to rediscover and forgive each other for a lifetime of slights and betrayals, real and imagined. O'Farrell, in this beautifully-written tale, gets the psychological nuances just right."
–Anita Shreve
"A rich, barbed interplay among siblings, who gibe, snap, and snipe as they go through their father's things, slowly teasing out one another's long-buried secrets—and a few of Gretta's and Robert's, too."
–Entertainment Weekly, Grade: A-
"Beneath the shouting, O'Farrell can convey the slightest 'wrinkle in the atmosphere.'"
–The New Yorker
"O'Farrell should be a household name."
–Library Journal
"Superlative . . . A reunion of far-flung siblings for a Mike Leigh-style extravaganza of reckonings and reconciliations."
"A piercing portrait of a family falling apart and coming together again."
–Good Housekeeping
"Big-hearted . . . Assured . . . O'Farrell is deft at delineating character, to the extent that by the end of the novel, the reader feels on intimate terms with everyone involved . . . It might sound a little grand to wax lyrical about 'the power of the novel' and all that, but you know, there is such a thing, and this book taps into it . . . Well worth seeking out."
"A psychological drama of the first order . . . Instructions for a Heatwave is a prescription for healing—and forgiving—the rifts and dysfunctions of complicated family life. Brimming with wit, wisdom, and wonderful writing, it deserves a wide readership."
"O'Farrell skillfully navigates between past and present, as family secrets are revealed and old grudges are hashed out, without ever losing the narrative's pace. An absorbing read from start to finish, though O'Farrell's vibrant prose, each character comes alive as more is revealed and the novel unfolds."
–Publishers Weekly
"Thoughtful, expressive . . . Heatwave celebrates the particularly maddening and recognizable ways a family can shape us."
–Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star
"An Irish family saga, replete with secrets, rivalries, and misbehavior becomes a compelling and entertaining story in Maggie O'Farrell's hands . . . O'Farrell takes readers on journeys interior and exterior—recounted in flawless prose that will have you reading while strap-hanging, standing in line, or waiting at a stop light."
–Shelf Awareness
"Riveting . . . Finely drawn . . . Once again, O'Farrell demonstrates her mastery at depicting strained relationships, skewed family loyalties, and the just reachable light at the end of the tunnel."
–Minneapolis Star Tribune
"A sizzling family dynamic radiates off the pages of this novel."
–EW.com, "The Must List"
"A beautiful portrait of family life. The story really blossoms in the second half . . . where the family's secrets and private feuds come raging forth so that the true healing can begin."
"Lyrical . . . vivid . . . The power and resonance of the book is the journey the family members take during this scorching period in time . . . Read Instructions for a Heatwave and see if these characters, this family, with their secrets and insanity, don't seep into your bones like the hot summer sun."
–My Shelf Confessions
"A story of self-discovery and coming to terms with the truths that are ever present in our lives . . . It's one of those rare books that balances each narrative device, plot point, and character perfectly, such that readers will be absolutely mesmerized by this book from beginning to end."
–S. Krishna's Books
"Maggie O'Farrell's Instructions for a Heatwave is just the kind of family drama I love: Nobody gets off easy in it, but everybody gets treated with compassion. It's stylish, funny, smart and skillfully written, and I could not put it down."
–Jami Attenberg, author of The Middlesteins
"A beautifully written and perfectly observed story of family, secrets, and forgiveness. Instructions for a Heatwave is an absolute gem. It's the kind of novel that you want to devour and savor at the same time."
–Courtney Sullivan
"Acutely observed…revelatory, redemptive, and moving…There is a deliciousness to this novel, a warmth and readability that render it unputdownable and will surely make it a hit. O'Farrell has done it again."
–Joanna Briscoe, The Guardian
"An accomplished and addictive story told with real humanity, warmth, and infectious love for the characters. Highly recommended."
–Viv Groskop, The Observer
"A literary event…evocative, articulate, and joyously readable…O'Farrell's talent for drawing intriguing but relatable characters is eclipsed only by a rare gift for description that is almost photographic in its imagery…An author at the top of her game."
–Charlotte Heathcote, The Sunday Express
"Humorous, humane, and perceptive…O'Farrell depicts relationships with piercing acuity in haunting, intense prose…a deliciously insightful writer…Her sharp but humane eye dissects every form of human interaction."
–Leyla Sanai, The Independent on Sunday
"Elegant, lyrical, and subtle…O'Farell's a compassionate writer, showing us every member of the family from a variety of viewpoints, ensuring that we understand and feel for every one of them even as they drive each other mad…The Riordans will stay in your mind long after you finish reading this book. They're funny, infuriating, and impossible not to love. They feel like family."
–Anna Carey, The Irish Times
"Thoroughly absorbing and beautifully written…A novel about what we say and what other people hear; about families; what we don't tell each other and what we do; the compromises and accommodations we make and what happens when we build our lives around half-truths."
–Victoria Moore, Daily Mail
"A ripping yarn…A brilliant domestic drama that teeters on the edge of being a thriller; it'll hook you in at the start and keep you dangling."
–Katie Law, Evening Standard
"O'Farrell is adept at creating pace out of the intricacies of family relations. She keeps the gas up on the Bunsen burner throughout...I felt that I gobbled this book."
–Vicky Allan, The Herald
"Farrell's language is lissom, airborne, mostly seamless, her characters flawed, contradictory, aggravating and instantly knowable. This is a deceptively easy, effortlessly true-feeling novel; a total delight."
–Claire Allfree, Metro
"O'Farrell is hard to beat. Anyone looking for a British equivalent of Anne Tyler need look no further."
–David Robinson, The Scotsman
"A surprising, beautiful novel, full of the intricacies of family life…You'll find yourself wanting to devour it in one sitting."
–Claire Frost, Fabulous Magazine

Mid-season. Music hits the top of the charts when it comes to yields. In trials at Michigan State University, Music out-produced all others with a harvest of over 13,500 pounds per acre! White skinned with just a blush of pink, this garlic makes big cloves that are easy-to-peel. The taste is a medium hot, true garlic flavor that lasts for a long time. Music will store 9 months to a year. Very cold tolerant.
Garlic is shipped only in the fall-late September or early October, depending on the season. Quantities are limited; order before September 15th for best availability.

Folklore is rife with tales of garlic's ability to bestow strength and courage, treat a vast array of disease and infections, and to ward off evil. Modern day medicine has shown this remarkable food to be powerfully effective at boosting the immune system, supporting cardiovascular health, and fighting cancer.
CULTURE: People all over the world have used garlic for centuries. Specialty garlic is a food that can be enjoyed in a manner much like fine wine. Garlic thrives in rich, well drained, composted soil with a pH between 6-7. Adapted to many climates, garlic is easy to grow and is bothered by few pests. Separate the cloves of garlic just prior to planting. In the maritime Northwest, garlic is best planted by October so it has time to establish a good root system before cold damp weather settles in. When spring growth begins, water to keep the soil slightly moist, and fertilize with a high nitrogen fertilizer applied every 2 weeks until bulbing begins. As harvest approaches, watering should be less frequent to avoid molding or staining. Cut off any flowering stems at the top leaf to redirect energy to the bulb.
HARVEST: Garlic should be harvested when 3-4 green leaves remain on the stem. Each green leaf represents one layer of covering over the bulb in the ground. If there are no green leaves when you harvest, you may find the cloves are exposed when you dig up the garlic. Tie the plants in small bundles and dry in a cool, shaded, well-ventilated location. After about 2 weeks, you can hang the bundles in a cool location, out of any direct sunlight. You can also remove the stems and store the garlic heads in a mesh bag.
Hardneck Garlic: Allium sativum subsp. ophioscorodon
These garlics typically produce 5-10 cloves per head. Approximate cloves per pound is 40-65 but this can vary based on seasonal conditions and the variety. Cloves grow in a single circle around a central woody stem. These varieties also produce, or attempt to produce, a flower stalk. What makes these garlics stand out is the range and quality of flavors they exhibit. Hardneck garlics have a shorter storage life than softnecks.
Softneck Garlic: Allium sativum subsp. sativum
These varieties produce 6-18 cloves in several layers around a soft central stem. Approximate cloves per pound is 50-90 but this can vary based on seasonal conditions and the variety. These easy-to-grow garlics are excellent in the kitchen and usually have the best storage qualities. Great for braiding.
Elephant Garlic: Allium ampeloprasum:
Not a true garlic, these enormous bulbs have a much milder and sweeter flavor than garlic, as it's related more closely to a leek.
CULTURE: Elephant garlic is planted 6-8 inches apart and covered with 4-6 inches of soil.
Garlic is shipped only in the fall-late September or early October, depending on the season. Quantities are limited; order before September 15th for best availability.

I planted 1lb of garlic last fall and harvested 4lbs this summer! Grows well even in my poor clay soil. Well worth the money!
Love it!

I ordered this garlic years ago and it does amazing. I use the largest heads and the biggest cloves from them to replant every year and it does great.
Easy to grow, great taste, HUGE!
Jul 11, 2015 | By RJT
I love this garlic. It's incredibly low maintenance, the bulbs are a great size (the cloves are huge!), and it tastes great. So much flavor! The scapes are delicious as well...don't waste those. Make sure you enjoy them as well, because they're a fantastic addition to a spring vegetable stir fry! We'll be growing this every year. It does great in our mild and wet Pacific Northwest winters.
Best Seed Garlic
Oct 18, 2014 | By Daniel Warren
This year I wanted to increase my Music Garlic production. I ordered from 3 different sources and am happy to report that Territorial shipped the Biggest Bulbs. Averages around 95 Grams, all other sources sent from 60-80 Gram Bulbs.. Great Garlic. Thank you.
Arctic Cold Hardy for Sure
Sep 4, 2014 | By thomas
I live in Palmer AK and planted Music Garlic (from Territorial Seed Co) last October. I planted it in two locations. One in south facing next to the house cold frame bed structure and the other in an exposed raised bed that is typically one of the more shaded raised beds I have. Mulched both locations with leaves, but not really that much, just a few inches. I was told to mulch more like 8-12 inches. Anyway, every clove planted came up, but we did have an unusually mild winter. The cold frame plantings were about 6 weeks ahead of the outdoor, in fact I pinched the scapes in mid June. The outdoor ones I just pinched the last two scapes last week, but had pinched the others about 2.5 weeks ago. I have removed two bulbs from the cold frame plants just to peek, they are smallish but have formed cloves, and I haven't eaten them, but overall look like they are going to be great nevertheless. This is my first attempt at growing garlic, and I would say so far, delightfully successful.
Big Surprise
Aug 10, 2014 | By Yifang
The cloves are so big ,even as big as elephant garlic. The small cloves produce bulbs with fewer but big cloves. I peeled out all the cloves I cut when dug too close to the bulb together to use first in cooking and have to taste the cloves to decide if it's music garlic, for elephant garlic seems to need more cure time to break the bitterness. I am happy with music garlic, it saves me labor when I need much garlic. One clove equals to 1/4-1/3 bulb of other garlic. They are also more flavorful than other garlic, like the ones we usually get from Costco Warehouse.
Aug 3, 2014 | By Jennifer
This garlic did fantastic in eastern MA. So far this has been the best garlic I have tried in my garden to date. Big healthy plants produced big heads of garlic with large cloves. I should have ordered more last year. At the rate we are eating this beauty up, we won't have enough to replant! Will order this variety again.
Excellent flavor; very good storage
Jul 23, 2013 | By Janet R
I ordered my garlic from Territorial years ago & save cloves to replant. This garlic has never let me down. It grows very well in my Zone 6 loamy clay. Use organic fertilizer at planting and top dress with the same fertilizer and compost in spring will produce large, flavorful cloves.

I have a Logitech M315 mouse and when I plug the nano receiver into the usb port of my Compaq Presario laptop, the computer doesnt recognize that it is plugged in. I am running Windows 8 and I installed the Setpoint software today, as well as the Logitech Unifying Software, and neither recognized the receiver as being plugged in. The advanced tab of the Unifying software does not pick up the nano receiver either.
Kinda stuck so any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi whidden92,
Does your Logitech M315 mouse use a Unifying receiver? I just want to verify since a Logitech Wireless Mouse M315 is a Unifying-ready mouse. If it uses a Unifying receiver, you might be interest to view the suggestions shown in this forum thread.
Hope that helps.

This is my 2nd pair of these shoes. I used them for T25 (after the first week on that I realized my running shoes were not the right shoe!). I now use them for Insanity and other HIIT workouts. They offer good support and are lightweight if you are looking for something that has a bit more structure than i.e. Nike Free.

Ya, so our IoT enabled toasters need patching ... oh, only around 5 million, why is that a problem?
Subject: General Tech | July 20, 2016 - 12:45 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: iot, security, amazon, Intel
The Register brings up the issue of IoT security once again today, this time looking at the logistics of patching and updating a fleet of IoT devices. Amazon is focusing on dumb devices with a smart core, the physical device having the sensors required and a connection to the net to send all data to be processed in large database which would be much easier to maintain but does offer other security issues. Intel on the other hand unsurprisingly prefers end devices with some smarts, such as their Curie and Edison modules, with a smarter gateway device sitting between those end devices and the same sort of large server based computing as Amazon.
Intel's implementation may be more effective in certain enviroments than Amazons, El Reg uses the example of an oil rig, but would be more expensive to purchase and maintain. Take a look at the article for a deeper look, or just imagine the horrors of pushing out a critical patch to 1000's of devices in an unknown state when you go live.
"Internet of Things (IoT) hype focuses on the riches that will rain from the sky once humanity connects the planet, but mostly ignores what it will take to build and operate fleets of things.
And the operational side of things could be hell."

2D semiconductors anyone?
Subject: General Tech | July 19, 2016 - 12:37 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: 2d, molybdenum sulphide, moores law, graphene
Over at Nanotechweb is an article on some rather impressive research being done to create what are, for all intents and purposes, almost two dimensional. The process used by the researchers created transistors made up of two three-atom thick MoS2 layers, both slightly overlapped with graphene, sandwiched between two one-atom think graphene layers. The trick is in the use of graphene, itself unsuitable for use as a transistor but perfect for interconnects thanks to its conductance. Read on to learn more about these researchers and the process they are working on, including a link to their publication in Nature.
"Researchers in the US have succeeded in chemically assembling the electronic junctions between a 2D semiconductor (molybdenum sulphide) and graphene, and have made an atomic transistor with good properties. They have also assembled the heterostructures into 2D logic circuits, such as an NMOS inverter with a voltage gain as high as 70."

EA Continues to Give Away Battlefield 4 Expansion Packs

Tagged: ea, origin, pc gaming
EA's "On the House" promotion is basically a 100%-off sale, with the intent of periodically bringing you back to their store. Whatever you acquire is free forever, but you only have a handful of days to claim it. Even if you're not interested in downloading it at the moment, it's good to poke in, press download, and just not actually download it until later. Maybe you'll buy something, too, while you're there. Either way.
This time is Battlefield 4: Naval Strike. If you have Battlefield 4, but do not have the Premium subscription, then this is your chance to grab a portion of its exclusive content for free. As the name suggests, it includes four, navy-focused maps, a hovercraft, and a new game mode. If you've played 2142, you might remember the Titan mode, where you would capture missile launchers throughout the map to weaken a flying carrier, and eventually destroy it. Similar idea, but with an aircraft carrier.
Also, the Westwood-developed action RPG, Nox, is "On the House" as well.
The 8-Bit Guy Disc-usses Floppy Drives
Subject: Storage | July 19, 2016 - 01:49 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: floppy drive, apple, commodore, IBM
This video, about floppy disks, is a little bit longer and in-depth than their previous one about cassette tapes. The 8-Bit Guy and friends (I'm pretty sure they don't call themselves that...) goes through how many tracks each floppy have, how many sectors they have, and how that varies per-manufacturer (including the technical reasons of how and why they are formatted incompatibly).
The 8-Bit Guy likes to go through a bunch of hardware, spanning the gamut of Atari, Commodore, Apple, IBM PC, and others, and explain their history. The most interesting part of this video, to me, was his explanation of why the Commodore floppy drive was so much larger than its competitors, and what it meant for performance.
Scythe's Fuma cooler, stocky and quiet but not ready for overclocking contests
Subject: Cases and Cooling | July 20, 2016 - 04:12 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: scythe, fuma, heatsink
Scythe's Fuma heatsink is a fair size at 137x149x130mm with a weight of 920g, including the two 120mm fans, though shorter than many on the market. That stock design could cause some problems if your RAM has impressively sized heatsinks but for most modules you should not have any issues and it does not impinge on your first PCIe slot. In the tests Modders-Inc performed reasonably well when cooling an i7-4770k at stock speeds, unfortunately an overclock of 4.4GHz did see the cooler struggle and the CPU frequency was throttled back almost immediately. For lesser loads the low RPM fans will be able to keep your temperatures reasonable and do so without creating much noise. If you have a midranged CPU and want a quiet cooler in the $55 range, drop by to check out the full review.
"Heatsink designs are driven by the fundamental principle that a larger surface area equates to better heat dissipation than a smaller area. Factoring in componential consent, modern aftermarket CPU tower heatsinks had to get creative to compensate and dial-in the efficiency needed, hence the rise of dual-tower cooler designs"

Chinese Group Purchases Opera for $600 Million (50% Off!)
Subject: General Tech | July 19, 2016 - 02:38 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: web browser, Opera, China
Opera is the smallest of the major browser vendors, estimated at about one-fifth the desktop market share of Mozilla's Firefox. That said, it had some fairly high-profile device wins, such as the Nintendo Wii and the Nintendo DS, and they're strong on other mobile devices, too. They had their own rendering technology until 2013, when they switched to Webkit and, when Google forked away from Apple and KDE into the Blink project, followed Google.
Recently, a group of Chinese companies have announced that they will be purchasing a large chunk of the browser vendor for $600 million USD. Interestingly, this was after offering $1.2 billion just a few months earlier. This time, the Chinese group will receive less of the company, and thus will pay less for it. The original company, which will have 18 months to find a new name, will maintain ownership of three parts:
- Opera Mediaworks
- Opera Apps & Games (including Bemobi)
- Opera TV
According to Engadget, the original, $1.2 billion dollar deal was canceled when some government organization disapproved of the deal. Looking at the three components that were omit, I cannot see why a regulation body would raise an issue, whether it be for national security or monopoly reasons. They seem pretty innocuous and small, but I guess the EU might take issue with consumer data privacy?
Either way, these three elements will remain, but everything else will go.
EVGA 17th Anniversary Event (with Contest)
Subject: General Tech | July 19, 2016 - 12:54 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: evga
Sweet... seventeen? Looks we're a little late on this, but EVGA is hosting a 17th anniversary event. Jacob is live streaming gameplay at 3pm PDT (6pm EDT) today, tomorrow, the day after, and the day after that. During that time, they will be giving away four more bundles of PC hardware, and probably a bunch of game keys from EA. According to their website's previous winners, it looks like they're giving away two copies of Battlefront (with Season Pass), Need for Speed, Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, Battlefield 4 (with DLC), and Mirror's Edge: Catalyst each day.
In terms of hardware, EVGA is handing out one bundle of two components per day and three grand prize bundles: one for USA, Canada, and Latin America; one for Asia and the Pacific region; and one for Europe, the Middle East, and India.
Today, they will give out an EVGA Z170 FTW motherboard and 16GB of DDR4 RAM during today's stream. The largest, non-grand prize giveaway will be on Thursday, however, where they will hand out an X99 Classified motherboard and a GTX 1070 SC graphics card, valued at a total of $820. I'm not sure which geographic regions on these prizes are eligible, although they do state the contest is, of course, void where prohibited. If it's like the grand prize, it seems to be pretty much worldwide.
European Speedrunner Assembly 2016 Starts This Weekend

Tagged: speedrun, esa, charity
Somehow, despite the European Speedrunner Assembly (ESA) being five years old, I just found out about it this year. Turns out that ESA 2016 is coming up this weekend. If you were a fan of Games Done Quick, this will also be a ~week-long, around the clock speed running event for charity. This one seems to run for The Save the Children Fund, although that could be an out-of-date announcement for the previous event.
The event starts with Tomb Raider II at 12pm EDT on Saturday, July 23rd, and goes until the end of a Super Mario 64 120-star relay race that starts at 2:31pm on Friday, July 29th. The event will continue offline until the 1st of August. Like Games Done Quick, which apparently inspired this event, the schedule has a wide variety of titles across several platforms. It should be interesting, regardless of when you get time to watch it.

For now we are awaiting the benchmarks but with the release of this new kernel, Linux users will be able to run the new RX 480 from AMD. The new kernel also contains a new security feature called LoadPin which ensures that kernel-loaded files come from within the same file system in an attempt to maintain security without requiring each file to be individually signed. There were also some improvements made to network drivers along with several other changes which The Inquirer covers in their own unique manner.
"Despite it being two weeks since RC7, the final patch wasn't all that big and much of it is trivial one- and few-liners. There's a couple of network drivers that got a bit more loving."

Will the history books be accurate? Mississippi's STILL invisible Coast
By STAN TINER - EDITOR'S NOTEBOOK 09.06.09
Reprint or license
Text Size: tool nameclose tool goes here
Three months after Hurricane Katrina, the Sun Herald described in a front-page editorial "Mississippi's Invisible Coast." It spoke of the fact that the further removed in time we were from Katrina, the less attention outside news reports paid to the plight of our region and its people, and the more it seemed history was being rewritten in a way that would render South Mississippi no more than a postscript to the greatest natural disaster to befall the nation.
Already the trend had begun for the national media to cover South Mississippi's part of the story with an add-on phrase to the news of Katrina and its affects on New Orleans. We had been reduced to four words — "and the Gulf Coast."
That trend has become virtually universal now, and during the recent fourth anniversary media assessment of Katrina, the people of "the Gulf Coast" have receded into the hazy status of non-people whose story is untold.
PDF: 2005 editorial 'Mississippi's Invisible Coast'
Story: Dancing down life's storms
This is troubling to the courageous people whose world was swept away on Aug. 29, 2005, and who have valiantly sought to recover and rebuild while struggling to survive.
Of course it is not possible to watch all of the national coverage of Katrina, but a substantial sampling clearly shows that New Orleans is THE story. It is troubling for those on our Coast to hear how New Orleans was "Ground Zero" for Katrina, or to see images of destruction in Pass Christian, Bay St. Louis or Biloxi shown while a broadcast focuses on New Orleans.
I will repeat the fact that Katrina's greatest winds and storm surge of more than 30 feet obliterated the Mississippi Coast and destroyed virtually all of the homes and businesses along its shore.
The terrible tragedy that befell New Orleans was the consequence of levee failures impacted by Katrina. Both New Orleans and Mississippi were the victims of the powerful storm, and both have tried to survive the years since with the individual efforts of our two states and the help of a generous nation.
Could the neglect of media to tell our story derive from the belief that everything is fine here, and there is nothing else to tell? It is possible, but were that the case you would think that would actually become the big story — how this poor little state was able to clean up, rebuild and get on with the business of life so quickly.
Wouldn't that become the model for all other disasters, the living textbook on how to get such a big job done in so short a period?
In fact, a good investigation of our situation would objectively show that a pretty good job has been done. It is a success built upon a long history of cleaning up and rebuilding after many hurricanes, good regional cooperation between local governments, and excellent leadership, from the governor's office to city halls across the Coast.
Also, it is in the DNA of local folks to tackle these problems with a strain of personal responsibility and energy that is among the best you will find anywhere.
OK, so the fourth anniversary has come and gone, and the Mississippi Coast is more invisible than ever in the media conversation about Katrina.
PDF: 2005 editorial 'Mississippi's Invisible Coast'
Story: Dancing down life's storms
Let us be hospitable and issue an invitation to reporters and newspapers and networks to come down next year for fifth anniversary coverage. Come stay a while and examine and report their findings as objective observers on the state of recovery in both places, New Orleans and the Mississippi Coast.
The fifth anniversary will offer a good benchmark to gauge how far each state has come, and, to the extent you discover a distinction in the progress between the two, it will be interesting to probe the reasons for the differences, and to report the combined lessons learned.
But beyond the studies of progress, it seems to many in our part of the world that there is an obligation on the part of the national media to get the story right in both breadth and depth.
There have been notable allies over the years, real advocates for our story — we salute Robin Roberts, Shepard Smith, Anderson Cooper and Kathleen Koch, reporters with roots in Mississippi — but over the sweep of time the media have told our story incompletely, if at all, and in doing so have really missed an important chapter in the history of the nation.
After the storm, this newspaper begged for help, we shouted for attention, we did all we could to draw attention to our urgent plight and to gain support for our needs.
Today we are not asking for volunteers to come or for more financial or material assistance, but what we do fervently wish is that history be recorded fully and accurately. Today's reporting — print, broadcast and online — will become tomorrow's history texts, and the evolving Katrina narrative is one of neglect toward our story and is increasingly likely to create a false or incomplete history of the great hurricane and its aftermath.
This is a simple appeal to the better instincts of journalism that an effort be made to expose truth, and fairly report the fullness of human pain and triumph in Mississippi and of our stewardship of the national generosity that was given us.
That seems a modest request.
So, before next August 29, come if you can, and let America see the people of our Coast through the lens of your cameras, the ink of your words and the sound of your voice. There is a wonderful story waiting to be heard and told.
