West Indian-American Day Carnival 2012 (SLIDE SHOW)
Crown Heights was crammed with colorful costumes, music and food on Labor Day, when the West Indian-American Day Carnival rolled down Eastern Parkway.
New York's biggest celebration of Caribbean culture occurs every Labor Day, when almost two million people line the streets of Crown Heights for the West Indian-American Day Carnival. This year there was even more of a reason to party: 2012 marks the 50th anniversary of Trinidadian and Jamaican independence. During the parade, steel-pan and calypso bands in elaborate costumes marched down Eastern Parkway, and vendors sold homestyle island grub along the route. TONY photographer Phyllis Dooney was there to capture the colorful sights.

Republic Commando - Gregor by JoeHoganArtWatch

Edit: Digital camo pattern added!
Commissions are coming! I know, scumbag artist. Been killing myself to get the two biggest and next in line done, I NEEDED an hour break, so I banged this out as a wind down before bed.
Anybody else absurdly excited for Gregor the Republic Commando this season on The Clone Wars???

Great pic.
My name in real life is Gregory.
The only clone badass enough to one-hand a DC-17m and still headshot droids.
he sacrificed him self to save vital information of the republic only if we had more like him
Oh!!! X| *Heartbreaking*
Gregor's story isn't finished in our eyes... My friends and I might have something in the works.
Too bad it took until season 5 to see a clone commando in action, I'd be willing to bet he survived, the commandos are pretty much the biggest badasses in Star Wars behind Han Solo, HK-47 and Rex.
R.I.P. Gregor
Not possible he may be a highly trained commando but he was facing half a army of druids
Those evil pagan Druids!
Respectfully disagreed. He blew them all to hell, first. The only real threat was the explosion, and a very coy Dave Filoni stated "I would put my money on Gregor surviving, to be honest." Straight from the horse's mouth himself! So I like to believe he made it out.
"I'm sorry, sir. It's time for you to leave."
Sorry for double-posting, but I've been meaning to ask you... I intend to create a meme and I would like to use this particular pic in this meme. If you allow me to do so, I'll be sure to credit you and also post a link to the original pic. So, do I have your permission to go ahead? Of course, if you say no, it's OK!
Thanks! And sure, go nuts! haha But I'd love to see it when it's done!
Amazing! One of my all time-favorite clone pics!
Awsome Gregor
Gregor was awesome! I like to think he survived.
The commandos. The ultimate under-used dudes. Great work mate.
I'll feature this one!
After watching four and a half seasons of this show you'd think I would've been used to them killing off clones but I was especially pissed at the way they Boba-Fetted this guy. There was so much potential for an awesome story line.
I think he survived. He was too cool to keep around just one episode, and I remember Dave Filoni hinting at one point that we "didn't know" if he died or not. That to me tells me there's a further story that needs telling...
this is bad-ass!
Gregor is bad-ass!
Gregor is bad-ass!
This looks amazing. It's too bad that Gregor was only in one episode.
So were you surprised that his armor was actually digitized too? Thought it was just battleworn

He started playing professionally with Tiny Hat Orcheshestra in the 1990's----a ska band that has produced quite a few hits. He has been influenced by AC/DC, The Smiths, The Cure, and Joni Mitchell.

Prior to Tiny Hat, Rudy was lead singer and songwriter for two Northwest punk/new wave bands, The Barking Guitars and The Borgvards.

This is darned good, and I want it after half a wear. I wanted it thirty seconds after I put it on paper.
I'm with MP23 on Tom Ford's Grey Vetiver. It's a nice intro to the note and isn't quite so polarizing as Guerlain's, which I can't stand. Also, L'Occitane's Vetyver is a nice "easy" vetiver with...
Though it's not something I'm willing to pay retail for, I would definitely pick up a bottle of Antidote for $20! I wonder where that was...
Gucci pour Homme 1.7 or Matsaki Matshushima - M; Men 2.5 oz; each were about $25.
Thierry Mugler - A*Men
Like others have said, if you take good care of them, they should last until the bottle's empty! That's how long I'm planning to keep mine...
CK Intense Euphoria Men is a good winter scent, especially for around the holidays. I'd mention more, but I think the rest of my recommendations have already been said :)
Nonsense! I felt that way for quite a while, but it's good in the heat too. Sure, you should probably spray a little less, but it definitely works, though with a different feel.
I rotate fragrances enough that this never really happens to me. Every morning (or afternoon, sometimes, on the weekends), I choose what I want to smell for the rest of the day, and it's always...
TF - Grey Vetiver
SL - Borneo 1834
I don't understand why an unfamiliar association, such as this one with chocolate milk, is a negative thing. I enjoy finding weird notes or accords that remind me of other things. If I could find...
Are these only available at Dior boutiques? Anyone have any idea of the distribution?
Tom Ford - Grey Vetiver
CK - Euphoria Men Intense
I think the first scent I bought after joining was Lolita Lempicka au Masculin...
The first time I wore Borneo 1834 to work (I know, I know, it's strong, but I have my own office!), I wore 3 sprays and didn't seem to get much of it later in the afternoon, so the next time I wore...
This is a bit off-topic, I know, but where is Michael Kors for men available? I can't recall having seen it any of the usual places, and I just checked websites for Sephora, Macy's, and Nordstrom,...
Bulgari Black !
I don't think that's too far from the truth, from my experience.
The most I've paid for a fragrance was about $130 for a bottle of Borneo 1834. At this point, I can't see spending more than that for a scent, but I am hoping to spend about that on several other...
Eau Sauvage has always come across as very juicy to me.
I've never bought blind, but I'm thinking I may have to start in the near future. It's too tempting sometimes!
Caron - L'Anarchiste
I don't know where you live, but A*Men in July is just fine for California! It's a different wear than in the winter, which is when I usually wear it, but to me it's still enjoyable, surprisingly,...
Guerlain - Habit Rouge EDC
How nice of them! That's really going out of the way...
Encre Noire
SL - Borneo 1834
This is true! They usually keep Bulgari Black (one of my favorites that they carry) over there.
They carry most mainstream designer lines (Gucci, CK, Tom Ford, Kenzo, D&G, Armani, Polo, Guerlain, Chanel, etc.), though I have found that different locations carry different scents (I've only been...
L'Occitane - Eau des Baux
SL - Fumerie Turque
TF - Grey Vetiver
10? That seems like a challenge when I have just over 20 scents. I'll try, in a sort of vague top-to-bottomish order:
SL - Borneo 1834
TF - Tobacco Vanille
Chanel Egoiste
Gucci pour Homme...
I get a cola note (though it tends toward root beer) from Armani Prive Ambre Soie.
I'm not the biggest citrus fan, but my favorite is Eau Sauvage.
SL - Borneo 1834
Another for Rochas Man!
Also, though not necessarily gourmand, but possibly gourmand-ish, I'd suggest CK Intense Euphoria Men and Gucci Envy.
This is how I feel too. Even if I felt there was only one, I doubt I'd want to find it.
SL - Borneo 1834
EN. Avignon is great (though I prefer Zagorsk in this line), but I'd have a hard time describing it as bold.
CDG: Garage!
Was feeling lazy and uncreative. First name.last initial.
Caron L'Anarchiste
They share a few notes, but they're entirely different fragrances. VdF is much lighter, a peppery white floral, while the original BO is much heavier and, in my opinion, much more masculine. ...
M; Men, L'Occitane Vetyver, Dior Homme.
It's one of their exclusives and, as such, is only sold through Guerlain boutiques or other select locations (the Neiman Marcus in San Francisco has them). You can go to their website to find...
Sillage and longevity are good for me too. I can't imagine this being considered a light scent, and, though my girlfriend isn't too keen on it, I really enjoy how it smells like olives on first...
GIT is good, and I enjoy it, but my favorite is probably Orange Spice.
Chanel Egoiste
I read about it on a coupon board somewhere (I think it was here?) and then just mentioned it on the phone with them, and they said yes, the shipping was free. I'm not sure if a code is necessary...
M; Men, Chanel PM Concentree, Eau Sauvage, Habit Rouge EDC, all work for me...
Are you sure it wasn't in there the whole time? I've heard that it isn't uncommon to have little floaty bits in fragrances, but if it somehow developed in there after 3 years, then I suppose that's...
Lots of good suggestions here! I'll add +1s to Gucci Ency and Pour Homme (I) and Chanel Egoiste. CK Intense Euphoria Men is another good one for winter; it's pretty sweet and once the slightly...
Gucci Pour Homme
I called in an order for Borneo 1834 at theperfumeshoppe.com earlier in the week, and the man who I spoke with told me they'd be getting a shipment of MKK in today. They also have free shipping...
Bulgari Black
TF - Tobacco Vanille
Just (finally) ordered a bottle of Borneo 1834. This has been at the top of my wish list for a while, and, in a few days time, it shall be mine! Happy birthday to me (tomorrow...)!
Habit Rouge EDC (from a generous Basenoter!)
"Sweet dust" is the two-word descriptor in the Guide, and I never got that from the EDT, but the EDC is just that, and it's wonderful!
I saw above that it's at Luckyscent, but has it shown up in brick and mortar shops yet? If so, I'll be planning a trip soon...
Lalique - Encre Noire
7/10 for me. I like all my scents and love most of them. I can find a scent for any occasion, but it still feels sort of incomplete. A few more bottles (3 or 4) would bump me up a notch or two :D
Like others have said, that bottle is great, but the cap nearly ruins it. I haven't find a L'Artisan scent that really grabbed me. Dzing! was close but didn't end up being the one. This is...
Most scents last really well on me, but this did not, which is too bad, because I did like it while it lasted. The bottle is fantastic, and the scent was pretty darn good, something I'd definitely...
L'Occitane - Eau des Baux
That's probably true. She was probably just trying to give me a sense of urgency so I'd make the purchase right then, which is pretty shady. I'll probably end up ordering it online (no tax and free...
I really enjoy Coromandel, but find Borneo 1834 more to my tastes. I'm hoping to get my girlfriend a bottle of Coromandel for Christmas, though the last time I was in the Chanel boutique in San...
Gucci PH is a good, heavy cedar scent, but it's also very smoky, so if you're looking for, maybe, smoldering cedar ashes, then this is the one for you.

A few pet peeves that I see some people do that can be avoided. I wouldn't call them hints or tips but they're things that can be overlooked by new or experienced folk. Spurred by noticing Sketch's 16px icon was guilty of the bottom-left.
Top set: The first is using diagonal paths snapped to pixel grid, which ends up being fuzzy and out of place on icons that have straight elements to them. I prefer to nudge the paths so that they appear crisp and interact with layer styles better. Attached are the path comparisons.
Bottom set: The second is using an inner glow or opaque stroke for light icons that will be exposed to multiple colours (such as OS X icons), rather than using a semi-transparent stroke that will keep them nice and sharp.

Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Todd McAllister, Ph.D., CEO of Cytograft Tissue Engineering, notes that the annual sales figure in excess of $1.3 billion cited by Dr. Lysaght et al. in the 2008 report for the aggregate field comprising TE, regenerative medicine, and stem cell therapeutics was largely dominated by Medtronic's product Infuse® Bone Graft, comprised of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP-2).
In the breakdown of the $1.3 billion sales total, the authors reported the following: "Three areas predominate: sales of Medtronic's Infuse Bone Graft products are approaching $700 million, the aggregate volume of private sector cord banking of adult stem cells now exceeds $270 million, and sales of biomaterials with a propensity for tissue regeneration, including small intestine submucosa (SIS), now exceeds $240 million."
While some definitions of the TE and stem cells industry have expanded to include recombinant proteins, extracellular matrices, and other types of products such as SIS, in Dr. McAllister's view, these entities—while used for regenerative medicine applications—are not technically tissue engineering products and are certainly not cell-based therapeutics that have been grown in a laboratory in tissue culture processes.
The more focused definition of the field he prefers would exclude a number of commercial products, greatly reduce revenue figures, and dramatically diminish both Dr. Lysaght's and now Dr. Langer's numbers.
Despite this cautionary perspective, even if one defines the field more narrowly as cell-based therapeutics, "there is no question that sales are ramping up," there are likely many more companies in existence at present than there were four years ago, and "there is significant growth and cause for celebration," says Dr. McAllister.
"Recently we have seen a strong increase in the number of clinical trials with cell-based therapies," he adds, noting that a search of the ongoing clinical trials would likely yield more than 1,000 unique clinical studies of cell-based therapies.
"To me, clinical success will drive commercial success, as you have to make a product that works first; and numbers of products in clinical testing will drive clinical success. The dramatic increase in the number of cell-based therapies being used in the clinic I think is the single most critical indicator of success of the field and of the impending commercial success," he says.
Other signs of strong growth described in the 2012 report were the 7,710 jobs created by the industry during the four-year study period—a 2.3-fold increase compared to the 2008 industry analysis—and the rise in total number of companies from 171 to 202, at all stages, "indicating that the field is not only progressing but also sustaining itself," stated the authors.
"It took the field 18–20 years or more to get its footing with regard to the complexities of product design and development, regulatory throughput, and distribution, clinical acceptance, and reimbursement," says Peter Johnson, M.D., co-editor in chief of Tissue Engineering, president and CEO, Scintellix, and vp R&D, Avery Dennison Medical Solutions.
All of those issues "appear to have been surmounted by more than one company with more than one type of product, and that suggests to me that we have at least the beginning of an understanding and acceptance by the FDA on the clinical side and the business savvy, and that business models are now beginning to align with the realities of these types of products."
Tempering his optimism with the recognition that the industry is still in the early stages, Dr. Johnson states that "the signs point toward a day when we will begin to understand the immunology and cell sourcing so much better that common manufacturing techniques can be used that are accepted by the FDA."
The industry will then be a step closer to realizing the fundamental value of the potential for tissue-engineered, cell-based products to integrate with the body and yield long-term cures with a single treatment.
"From a business perspective we are absolutely seeing that people can make and sell efficacious products and sell them at a profit. It is a viable business model," says Dr. McAllister. "In 2008, when the last paper was published, I would argue that you couldn't have said that for a cell-based therapy."
What could dramatically accelerate the pace of industry growth or derail its current trajectory in Dr. Langer's view? A "huge new success" such as a product to regenerate heart muscle, cartilage, or bone, could result in large amounts of new funding and resources being pumped into the industry, or a major discovery on a par with the development of induced pluripotent (iPS) stem cells, for example.
In contrast, a significant negative outcome, whether due to the unexpected behavior of certain cells, less than careful work, or an insurmountable technical hurdle could slow growth and development.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

GUYMON, Okla. (AP) - Authorities arrested 12 people after raiding an illegal horse racing operation in Texas County.
About 50 law enforcement officers from various local, state and federal agencies raided the private racetrack north of Guymon on
Guymon police spokesman Jason Bond says the racetrack previously belonged to a man who privately raced thoroughbred horses for a
Authorities think the races started around 3 p.m. and patrons were charged admission to enter the racing grounds. He says beer also was sold.
Texas County Sheriff Rick Caddell says the illegal operation had been under investigation for a year.
Authorities seized vehicles, horse trailers, cash, electronic equipment and 19 horses.

Publisher's Description
With more than 225,000 copies sold, When Helping Hurts is a paradigm-forming contemporary classic on the subject of poverty alleviation and ministry to those in need. Emphasizing the poverty of both heart and society, this book exposes the need that every person has and how it can be filled. The reader is brought to understand that poverty is much more than simply a lack of financial or material resources and that it takes much more than donations and handouts to solve the problem of poverty.
While this book exposes past and current development efforts that churches have engaged in which unintentionally undermine the people they're trying to help, its central point is to provide proven strategies that challenge Christians to help the poor empower themselves. Focusing on both North American and Majority World contexts, When Helping Hurts catalyzes the idea that sustainable change for people living in poverty comes not from the outside-in, but from the inside-out.
Author Bio
DR. BRIAN FIKKERT is the Founder and Executive Director of the Chalmers Center at Covenant College, as well as a Professor of Economics and Community Development at Covenant College.
Product Reviews
Debbie from ChristFocusHarrison, ARAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5New ways of thinking about helping the poorMarch 20, 2014Debbie from ChristFocusHarrison, ARAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5"When Helping Hurts" explores how current methods of helping the poor might do more harm than good to everyone involved. They also explore methods that can be more helpful long-term.
The authors believe the Bible's explanation of what's wrong with this world. They recognize and explain how a person's worldview can be a part of what is keeping them in poverty, so it's essential to teach a correct worldview based on the Bible for lasting change. (For example, if you worship rats and therefore won't stop them from eating your stored grain, then teaching you ways to grow more grain won't really help.)
I came to some of their same conclusions long ago. They explain how poverty is not solely a lack of possessions or money, though that is a result of the problem. You need to take the time to understand the culture and the situation rather than assuming you know what they need. It's about listening--about building lasting relationships and changing mindsets. It's not something you can fix with a handful of money and a few hours of your time.
They talk about the problems with current methods of poverty alleviation and how other approaches work better. They explain how to apply these principles in various situations, though they give the most detail in their American poor outreach examples. They talk about what we've done wrong--the authors, too--but how not getting things perfect shouldn't stop us from trying. They do talk about the problems with short-term mission trips and similar methods, but they also explain how these methods might be modified to create more positive, long-term impact for everyone involved.
Overall, I'd recommend that everyone read this book just so that they can get be exposed to other ways of thinking. I'd especially recommend it to those involved with missions and outreaches who are open to trying new approaches or to considering that there might be better ways to help the poor.

Are you doing for the poor what, with mentoring and guidance, they could do for themselves? Are you providing material things without providing tools to overcome their present situation? What is your ministry doing to form relationships with the poor you assist?
If you are involved in any ministry, domestic or foreign, assisting the poor, When Helping Hurts by Steve Corbett and Brian Fikkert, is a must read for you. It is a thought provoking, eye opening guide book, study book, walking you through examination of your ministry and placing new effective tools in your hands to best utilize all you do with and for the poor.

In 2003 and 2004, Mick Mulvaney came to Lancaster County Council and asked for us to approve a $30 million bond to improve his land for a development.
The start of a new year often brings with it a resolve to try something new, fix something old, or tackle a problem too long left unsolved. Imagine what the start of a new decade could offer.
A specific problem that has long suffered from vast national equivocation has been one that involves the health and safety of young people: underage drinking.
I am a grandmother and a Lancaster County resident. I have no say over my grandchildren because there are no grandparents' rights in South Carolina. I do not think that is right and I feel like other grandparents feel the same way I do.
I think this law needs to be changed and I challenge all grandparents to take a stand by writing Congress and state legislators about changing the law.
Man gives us no rights in South Carolina, but God does by loving and treating our grandchildren fairly.

In the gentle early hours of my bedroom, barely lit by daybreak through a crystalline cloak of frozen gray, the melody of my mother's voice issued a reprieve from the rush to school that day.
"Look outside. There's no school today," Mama reported softly yet with a particular glee sympathetic with the excitement she shared with her slumbering children.
It was a week when sports editor Robert Howey was on vacation and I was attempting to cover for him. From across the counter, she gave me all the pertinent information about the upcoming scholarship fund- raiser golf tournament.
I was writing down the who, what, when, why and where when she stopped mid-sentence. I glanced up from my notepad. Her eyes were filled with tears. Then I recognized the name. The scholarship was in honor of her son, who died in a bicycle accident in downtown Charleston. He had just graduated from Clemson and was working in the port city.
A defense company announced plans Monday to bring more than 200 jobs to Lancaster County.
Defense Venture Group, which provides management services for several aerospace and defense-sector companies, will move its operations to the former BMB Steering Innovation building on S.C. 160 in Indian Land, which it recently bought.
The company will locate its manufacturing, research and development functions and its headquarters to the building beginning in March.
When Wayne Bell was looking for a way to fill his days after retiring from the state of South Carolina several years ago, he remembered something he learned from a great-uncle as a youngster.
"He was a beekeeper and I loved to watch him," Bell said. "I tried to help him, but I don't know if I was very much help."
When it comes to a subject as complicated as beekeeping, you have to get started somewhere, Bell said.
KERSHAW – Andrew Jackson High School head football coach Elmer Bench has been placed on administrative leave.
Bench, a history and social studies teacher at the Lancaster County Class AA high school, declined to comment when contacted Wednesday afternoon by The Lancaster News.
David Knight, spokesman for the Lancaster County School District, said Bench was placed on administrative leave with pay by district superintendent Dr. Gene Moore. Bench's administrative leave began Wednesday.
COLUMBIA – Despite recent rains and the recovery from South Carolina's most recent drought, the S.C. Forestry Commission is sounding the call for readiness as the state enters its wildfire season.
In South Carolina, the wildfire season runs in the later part of the winter through early weeks of spring, when flammable ground litter is dry and the relative humidity is low.
Some residents are burning yard waste or lighting outdoor fires for warmth during this time of the year.
Two people were injured in a shooting at a nightclub early Sunday.
According to the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to the club on Kershaw Camden Highway about 2:20 a.m.
Deputies learned that a fight began inside the club, then moved outside, where two people began shooting.
Injured in the incident were Chevon Crawford, 29, and Marcellos Stover, 29, both of Lancaster. Crawford was shot once in the back, authorities said. Stover was shot in each shoulder and the abdomen.

Argentinian Justice Minister Ánibal Fernández has denied that there was "an outbreak of antisemitism" in the country, after a Jewish crowd was attacked by a knife-wielding gang.
The incident took place during an event marking Israel's 61st anniversary in Buenos Aires last week, attended by 500 people. Twenty men emerged from a subway entrance armed with sticks, knives, a flail and a banner accusing Israel of genocide, and began assaulting crowd members.
A man who shot an Orthodox Jew with a pellet gun has been sentenced to a curfew order.
Kris Cherry, 20, must not leave his home in Gateshead between 8pm and 7am for the next three months after admitting he carried out the attack because he "didn't like Jews".
His victim, who has not been named, was not injured in the March 14 shooting despite being hit on the arm.
Unemployed Cherry fired the gun from a car "for a laugh" while travelling through Bensham, home to the North East's largest Jewish community.
A man who shot an Orthodox Jew with a pellet from a toy gun has been sentenced to a curfew order.
Kris Cherry, 20, must not leave his home in Bensham, Gateshead, between 8pm and 7am for the next three months after admitting he carried out the attack because he "didn't like Jews".
His victim, who has not been named, was not injured in the March 14 shooting despite being hit on the arm.
A team of Israeli security guards fought off armed Somali pirates who tried to hijack an Italian cruise ship in the Indian Ocean.
The Israelis fired pistols and used water hoses to repel six invaders who attacked in a fast motor boat, shooting and attempting to climb onto the cruise ship using a rope ladder.
A teenager has admitted punching a Jewish schoolboy in the face during an unprovoked attack.
The 15-year-old victim, from Stanmore, Middlesex, was leaving Kingsbury Tube station in January when he was approached by three boys.
He tried to walk away but one of the youths, who cannot be named for legal reasons, followed him and asked: "What you saying about me?" and then punched him in the face.
The attacker had bullied his victim on two previous occasions, including during a football match when he made antisemitic comments.
A man has admitted shooting an Orthodox Jew with a pellet from a toy gun.
Kris Cherry told magistrates in Gateshead that he carried out the attack on March 14 because he "didn't like Jews".

Wonderful model Bunnie Page
wow! I just painted a pair of my boots purple but they have nothing on these where did she get them!
Where did she get those boots from? I need them...
Love the photo by the way, the pose and expression are just perfect.
Love the photo by the way, the pose and expression are just perfect.
The boots are just wow, and I envy anyone who can walk in them - I can manage in my New Rocks but anything higher is an accident waiting to happen! I really like how most of the shot is fairly monotone so it's like selective colour but without the editing
Thanks! The model was great. I have worked with her a few times.
I choose that location for that every reason of the color
I choose that location for that every reason of the color
For a subject that interesting you'd think you could find a more interesting perspective from which to take the photo than straight on. Also, the bag at her feet is incredibly distracting.
I cant take my eyes off those boots. great shot!
The purple boots are SO awesome and they pop this picture significantly, adding LOTS of rich colour. The pose is GREAT too. Goob job!
I LOVE these boots.... I might have to photograph this girl again just so I can do more with the boots.
Holy shite they are some BOOTS!, I want that dress.
wowzers! those boots were made for... well i'm sure we'll find something i like the whole fish out of water scenario in that you've got to wonder what the surrounding crowd thinks of that outfit- overall an awesome shot

stirred up controversy last week when the professional social network introduced it -- and a few other features -- at an event about its mobile offerings. LinkedIn Intro is an opt-in service that lets you connect on a professional level with people you email every day.
"When people email you, we show you their LinkedIn profile: you can put faces to names, write more effective emails, and establish rapport," LinkedIn said in the announcement. "You can grow your professional network by connecting with them on LinkedIn."
But not everyone was as enthusiastic about it: Security experts were wary, especially in light of LinkedIn's breach last year, which compromised 6.5 million user passwords. To use Intro, users are required to route all emails through LinkedIn's "Intro" servers, which then scan them for certain types of content and temporarily store the passwords to users' external accounts. Security expert Graham Cluley said this sent a shiver down his spine.
[ Learn how to keep your job search private. Read 5 LinkedIn Privacy Settings For Job Hunters. ]
Over the weekend, LinkedIn responded to criticism in a blog post highlighting the measures it took to ensure Intro was safe and secure.
"When the LinkedIn Security team was presented with the core design of Intro, we made sure we built the most secure implementation we believed possible," said Cory Scott, senior manager of information security at LinkedIn. "We explored numerous threat models and constantly challenged each other to consider possible threat scenarios."
LinkedIn described the actions it took prior to Intro's launch. Among them:
-- Isolating Intro in a separate network segment and implementing a security perimeter across trust boundaries;
-- Performing hardening of the external- and internal-facing services and reducing exposure to third-party monitoring services and tracking;
-- Engaging iSEC Partners, a security consultancy, to perform a line-by-line code review of the credential handling and mail parsing/insertion code;
-- Penetration testing the final implementation by LinkedIn's internal team to ensure vulnerabilities were addressed; and
-- Ensuring it had the right monitoring in place to detect potential attacks, react quickly and minimize exposure.
LinkedIn clarified that all communications use SSL/TLS at each point of the email flow between a user's device, LinkedIn Intro and the third-party email system. "When mail flows through LinkedIn Intro, we make sure we never persist the mail contents to our systems in an unencrypted form," Scott said. "And once the user has retrieved the mail, the encrypted content is deleted from our systems."
Scott also addressed rampant concerns from iOS users. "It's important to note that we simply add an email account that communicates with Intro," he said. "The profile also sets up a certificate to communicate with the Intro web endpoint through a web shortcut on the device. We do not change the device's security profile in the manner described in a blog post that was authored by security firm Bishop Fox on Thursday."
LinkedIn's Scott said he and LinkedIn welcome "healthy skepticism and speculation," but LinkedIn felt it was necessary to clarify its practices and correct the misperceptions.
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

Yankee's July/August 2014 Issue | Summer Off the Beaten Path
"Visitors from 'away' often ask me about the 'best way' to see New England. If they come by car, my answer rarely changes: 'Get lost, but carry a good map.' My advice holds for all of us who live here, because there are always surprises to be found when we follow our curiosity down narrow roads, often of dirt and stone, that lead to … well, that's the point: We don't know where they lead," says Mel Allen, editor of Yankee Magazine. "All of these stories—and others—speak to the thrill of setting off and finding something."

Cardinals fans are coming across more delusional than ever. That is the reason why I don't drink the tap water out here, it makes you a raving lunatic, either that or these people spend too much time out in the sun.
. Bowles tough defense will smother Frank Gore; PP21 will put the absolute clamps on Q just like he did two years ago when he played for Baltimore, and D Washington will make Davis wish he had never got out of bed in the morning. Plus, you know that there is no one player -- or two players -- on the 49er defense who can stay with either Fitz or Floyd. So. . . .easy, easy win for the Good Guys!! Look for a beat-down similar to what Andrew Lucks and the Colts administered just a few weeks ago. . .

My jaw dropped the first time I saw this; it's so horrifying that I stood there stupefied for several minutes after the commercial was over wondering what the hell I just witnessed.
But, in advertising you're supposed to make people LOVE your advertisement or HATE it. The kiss of death is apathy, so even if someone hates your commercial they'll remember it because they reacted to it.
It's like shock art... for Starburst.
I applaud your use of a Mr. Show reference in the title.
it's talking about getting thousands of blogs to host your ad for free, in an age where people bloop-bloop past ads on tv. whoever wrote this spot was an evil genius.
It's my favorite thing on TV right now.
Look closely and you will see that said Fop is none other than Jimmy Tickles of Strangers With Candy fame. I'm super jazzed!
Way to be a fucking month late.
I believe the idea is to shift the "gayness" of liking berries & cream Starburst onto the scapegoat we see hear, while emphasizing the casual het cool of the two young men hanging out together talking about Starburst.
I need to stop muting commercials. I keep missing out.
7 -- Who said the "berries and cream" guy was supposed to be gay? And how do we know the other two guys are straight? They're sharing candy, for Christ's sake.
Lindy, if you have to ask, it's too expensive. Gah!
That commercial was awesome and I think that guy is supposed to be an elf or something.
god damn it!.
Same bullshit as every other weird commercial you see. It gets attention, gets people talking about it, and thus, might increase sales.
The way he says "Berries & Cream" seams so familiar. Like it is from a Monty Python sketch or something similar.
Yow! That was excruciating to watch. I'm not sure if I should be offended by the over-the-top gay stereotyping, or to applaud Skittles for embracing it. Either way, I'm glad I stopped watching TV. That was just painful.
I gotta say I don't see the "gay" stereotype either. It's some weird dandy-fop-elf. Maybe if he had a lisp.
Well! That was disturbing.
I'm living in Australia at the moment, and I have to say, that wouldn't even be over the top here. There are basically two kinds of ads I've seen:
1. Someone quite literally shouting the name or type of product at you.
2. Really strange, trippy shit. There's a Coke commercial that takes place inside a Coke machine. All the little droplets of Coke live in a Wonka-esque fantasy world until they apparently sacrifice themselves to the bottle gods and come out the bottom of the machine. The ad basically says that you're eating little fantasy creatures by drinking Coke.
The Starburst commerical is still baffling, but a bit more par for the course.
We do the "Berries and Cream" dance at our house quite regularly. Kurt B. Reighley should have gotten the role in the commercial, trust me.
+1 for the title reference.
I absolutely LOVE this commercial! Every time it comes on, it makes me smile. I always give my boyfriend (who is British) crap and tell him he reminds me of the prancy boy in the ad. heehee
wanna learn how to do the little lad dance like he does?
I like the alternate version better:
Has a awkward pause and a kick at the end that cracks me up
Hello everyone, wanna be part of some kind of community, possible here? anyone here?

Research Institution:
AbstractThe U.S. Global Climate Change Initiative (GCCI) has the goal of significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions over the next 10 years. However, the sources and sinks of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are not well understood. High precision instruments to quantify the concentrations and fluctuations of carbon dioxide are essential to improve this understanding, yet existing instruments can not meet the combined specifications for precision, long-term unattended field operation, and cost. This project will develop a new type of high precision optical sensor combining traditional optical spectroscopy with a new self-calibrating method that will improve detection sensitivity and precision. The Phase I research successfully demonstrated the proposed approach for high precision measurements, without the need for external calibration gases or dependence on ambient conditions. The Phase II project will result in a prototype sensor capable of high precision field measurements. It will be compact, run unattended with low power, and use no consumables. Its performance will be validated by field measurement comparisons with the best currently available instruments. Commercial Applications and other Benefits as described by the awardee: Federal benefits include low-cost, field-deployable, instruments for the rapid and precise measurements of important gases that will improve modeling of atmospheric dynamics and climate change. This methodology is also applicable to Homeland Security identification of chemical agents. Direct commercial applications include environmental sensing and regulatory compliance, atmospheric research and optical sensing, as well as gas leak sensing for pipelines, fire detectors for commercial and private aircraft, combustor feedback control sensors, and process control sensors for energy and chemical production industries.

ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) - Authorities say a massive storm system that raced across south Georgia overnight spawned at least three tornadoes and left scattered property damage.
According to preliminary storm reports from the National Weather Service office in Tallahassee, Fla., twisters were confirmed in Lowndes, Grady and Thomas counties.
The violent weather downed dozens of trees and power lines, but there were no immediate reports of injuries.
Damage assessment teams are expected to survey the storm damaged areas at daybreak.
Calmer weather conditions and cooler temperatures are in today's forecast.

PBOC Yi Gang Says Yuan Rate Closest on Record to Equilibrium
The yuan's exchange rate is the closest to "equilibrium" as it has ever been, Chinese central bank deputy governor Yi Gang said.
Bolstering domestic consumption, restructuring the economy and reducing surpluses will help the currency reach equilibrium, Yi, who is also head of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, said at the opening of the annual session of the National People's Congress in Beijing today. The "yuan exchange rate has never been closer to equilibrium," Yi said.
"This is a fair value concept," Liu Li-gang, an economist with Australia & New Zealand Banking Group, said in Hong Kong. "But I do not view the yuan as close to its equilibrium value. There is still a large appreciation needed in the medium term."
China's currency has advanced 3.5 percent against the dollar since a two-year peg was relaxed on June 19, as nations including the U.S. called for the Chinese government to allow a faster pace of appreciation. U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner reiterated March 3 the yuan is "substantially undervalued," putting other countries at a competitive disadvantage.
The yuan gained as much as 0.1 percent to 6.5665 per dollar yesterday, before closing at 6.5686 per dollar in Shanghai, according to the China Foreign Exchange Trade System. It touched 6.5654 on Feb. 21, the strongest level since China unified official and market exchange rates at the end of 1993.
Cross Border Transactions
Yi said equilibrium will be reached "soon."
China plans to expand cross-border use of the yuan for the 2011-to-2015 period, according to the draft of the 12th Five-Year Plan released today at the NPC. The government also plans to improve its foreign exchange management, and broaden the channels of use for its foreign exchange reserves.
"This will pave the way for a more flexible exchange rate," said ANZ's Liu. "It's in China's interest to let the yuan appreciate in order to help dampen the effect of imported inflation."
Premier Wen Jiabao said in his annual state-of-the-nation report that the government will target 8 percent economic growth this year and "decisively" curb increases in prices that could affect social stability. He reaffirmed that the nation is maintaining a "proactive" fiscal policy and a "prudent" monetary policy.
Wen is encouraging greater use of China's currency for international trade and investment to reduce reliance on dollars as the Federal Reserve prints money to support the U.S. economy. Cross-border yuan trade settlement was 506.3 billion yuan ($77 billion) last year, the People's Bank of China said Mar. 2.

The 2014 Lancaster proposed town budget of $31.3 million drew a peppering of questions this week, mostly centering on the fact that the town's 143 full-time employees do not contribute toward their health insurance coverage.
"I find this board to be fiscally irresponsible," said resident Tom Kazmierczak during a public hearing on the budget held Monday night. "I think it's an outrage that we don't have our employees pay at least 10 percent."
Others praised Supervisor Dino J. Fudoli's budget proposal for how it tries to manage the town's growth, by growing the tax base and not expenses.
The head of the Hull House Foundation asked the Town Board to restore funding to the organization in the budget, noting that the Hull House is the only house of its kind in Erie County. "The Hull House does not belong to the Hull House Foundation, but to all of us," said Gary Costello, president of the foundation.
Part of the budget hearing sparked a feisty exchange between union officials, a councilwoman and Fudoli. Fudoli had indicated negotiations on town employee contracts was progressing, but when pressed for an update by Councilwoman Donna Stempniak, Fudoli said he could not go into detail publicly because negotiations are ongoing behind closed doors.
A union leader spoke up from the rear of the boardroom and told Fudoli that nothing is close to being resolved, and also noted that the town had canceled some recent meetings with union officials.
Fudoli disputed that. "We ask for dates, and get nothing in return," said Marcia Cox, president of the union representing the town's white collar workers, referring to union correspondence with town special counsel Jeff Swiatek.
Fudoli said town leaders are not dodging anyone.
Town Board is expected to adopt the final budget at its Nov. 18 meeting.
Also this week:
• The Lancaster School Board meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Court Street Elementary School, 91 Court St.
• The Lancaster Village Board meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday following a 6 p.m. work session in the Municipal Building, 5423 Broadway.
• The Lancaster Village Historic Preservation Commission meets at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Municipal Building, 5423 Broadway.
• The Lancaster Town Zoning Board of Appeals meets at 7 p.m. Thursday in the board room of Town Hall, 21 Central Ave.
