Nick's Birthday Tribute!Journal Entry: Thu Aug 14, 2014, 6:16 PM
Whether you knew him well, or were just an acquaintance, it did not matter, at least to him it didn't, as he treated everyone with the same love and respect. There is no doubt, that he touched the lives of many, a fact he was always surprised about. It humbled him, and he was truly grateful for the friends he has met here.
It is that rarest of people, who could reach over mountains and oceans and touch all of our hearts. From every corner of the globe, to every walk of life, no matter your ethnic background, your political or religious views, no matter the color of your skin, or even if you spoke English, it did not matter to him, as he considered you all friends, and many, a part of his family.
He was your confidant, your mentor, your biggest supporter, your shoulder to cry on, your voice of reason and logic, and your cherished friend. He was all of those, to all of you, a person you could always count on, to always be there. He would listen to all of you, with every concern or problem you had, he would listen, giving 100% of himself to making you feel better. It did not matter if it was art related or personal, you could always count on him to be there.
Here is a collection of beautiful works dedicated to Nick
He was a great friend to us all and he will be surely missed
He inspired us, encouraged us and supported us to be great.
RIP Nick xoxo
Shedboy68DEATH be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so,
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee,
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,
Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell,
And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well,
And better then thy stroake; why swell'st thou then;
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.
- John Donne
RIP Nick Stone :iconheartcandleplz:
Rest in Peace Nick Stone :iconshedboy68:
Happy Birthday/ Rest in peace
For everyone here on dA who lost such a dear friend. My condolences.
It's never easy to loss someone we loved.
But this Tribute will make it easier. It's a wonderful honor.
Just know that if you need a shoulder to lean on... I'll be here.
Love you all.
:iconLindArtz: Thank you Linda for being such a wonderful friend.
In the sweet memory of my darling Nick Stone...http://shedboy68.deviantart.com/
My dearest friend
I will miss you,
your playful ways,
your good attitudes, even in times of despair,
and your unconditional love to all of us that were blessed to know you!
My heart is heavy with the pain of your departure.
This morning is of grey colors
I wish you were here to colorize
and fill it with fantasies and love,
but today you sleep and I cry your absence.
I went this morning to tell you that
I miss you,
only to find that I will have to miss you forever,
I only hope that your son and your family were there with you
as you fell in your deep sleep to tell you good night.
Good night my good friend,
I send you a kiss through the distance,
And my love for you,
and your adventurous ways should remain
the same, till the end of my days!
Good night now... My sweet darling
Wish you where here.I wish you where here,
Without you I can't
I wish you where here,
Without you I can't
Think straight.
I wish you where here,
Without you how can
I love the rest of my life?
I wish you where here,
I just can't get off
My mind.
I wish you where here,
Why did you go and not
I wish you where here,
Tho you still live
In my heart.

T-Mobile changed the RTT of my CDS service card to 1100ms. I can't connect using PPPD any longer.
What configuration parameters do I have to change to get a connection again?
edit: my current configuration
I have this in my options.pppd

I tried adding:

But that didn't help.
I enabled the debug option in pppd and this line keeps repeating over and over in the messages logfile:
pppd[17644]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 ]
It seems he's sending this ConfReq over and over, and the other side doesn't respond. Maybe there's a way to increase the timeout for this?

Florida State Wins A Thriller To Take College Championship
Florida State and Auburn put on a show Monday night with a college football championship game that went down to the wire and ended with Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Jameis Winston throwing a touchdown pass with just 13 seconds to go to bring Florida State the crown.
At one point, the Seminoles were behind by 18 points.
The final score: Florida State 34, Auburn 31.
So, the teams didn't combine for the 100 points or more that some were predicting.
But the game — the last for the Bowl Championship Series system of choosing the NCAA's Division I champion — was a thriller, as NPR's Tom Goldman said on Morning Edition.
Just consider what happened in the final 4 1/2 minutes:
— With Auburn ahead 24-20, Florida State's Kermit Whitfield returned a kickoff 100 yards to put his team back into the lead, 27-24.
— Auburn responded with a 75-yard scoring drive, capped by running back Tre Mason's 37-yard rush for a touchdown. That put the Tigers ahead; 31-27. Auburn was 1 minute, 19 seconds away from winning the championship.
— But Florida State came back. Beginning with the ball on their own 20-yard line, the Seminoles marched down the field. They won the game on Winston's 2-yard touchdown pass to receiver Kelvin Benjamin.
This morning's headlines help tell the story about last night's game in Pasadena, Calif.:
— "Grand Finale" (ESPN)
— "Magical Ending" (Sports Illustrated)
As we said Monday, next year the NCAA drops the BCS system, which has led to arguments over the years about whether the right two teams were playing for the title, in favor of a four-team playoff format. That likely means that next year the arguments will be over whether the right four teams are in the playoffs.
ESPN's highlights of the game

Life Big Trouble

Does this line by Daniel Gross, from a story posted today on Slate, make him look fat phobic?
The chances of being stuck in a middle seat, sandwiched between frequent visitors to the Golden Corral all-you-can-eat buffet, in a row opposite the bathroom, have vastly increased. (In my case, they seem to be about 84 percent.)

Two bros discussing memorable sexual experiences provide the setup for a series of reasonable-quality one-on-one scenes. The ladies of this all-black production are attractive and the action is well-documented without egregious technical failings. Among the six scenes, there's a nice girl/girl (with Toy and Sinnamon) and a brief anal (with Dark Knight and Cindy). For a one-day wonder, this isn't a bad choice.

A toddler is killed in a police chase. Mobile police say they tried to stop the car around noon on Wednesday.
The driver refused to pull over.
The chase ended when the suspect hit another car at the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue and Carstens Street.
Two adults, one of whom is pregnant, and a toddler were in the car that was hit.
Mobile County District Attorney John Tyson says the toddler died.
Tyson says the suspect will be charged under the new state law that makes it a felony to run from police.
He is also considering charging the suspect with murder.

I just started looking into putting Admob ads into the android app I'm building. So far, no good. I've been following the example in the AdMod_Android_SDK_Instructions.pdf that I downloaded from the adMob website, but am confused. On page 7 I see the import statements refer to the package as com.admob.android.ads - but in the SDK I downloaded, the package is com.google.ads - is this a leftover from before google acquired admob? It then goes on to call the method a
dView.requestFreshAd(); - which does not exist in the latest code.
Please can someone help me out with some code that actually works? My specific errors from logcat are:
AdView missing required XML attribute adUnitId.
... then after I call
adView.loadAd(new AdRequest()); i get:
Invalid unknown request error: Cannot determine request type. Is your ad unit Id correct?
onFailedToReceiveAd(Invalid Google Ad request).
Any help, much appreciated! Thanks.

Black Light Fun in the Bedroom
The kids are tucked in bed and the house is finally quiet for the evening. Your Mr. wraps up what he's been working on and comes to find you. As he goes upstairs, he notices it's even more quiet than usual… where are you and why isn't your bedroom light on? Did you go to bed without him? He approaches the bedroom quietly, wondering if he's just imagining the luring glow coming from inside… and a grin sprawls across his face as he opens the door, revealing his stunning wife (you, of course) dressed in WHITE under a BLACK light, casting an incredibly {dare I say seductive?} glow!
There is something sooo appealing about the way a black light makes certain colors jump! Once you surprise your man with this stunning atmosphere, invite him to join you! Beside your bed, have a couple fluorescent yellow highlighters ready. If you're really into it, give yourself a beaded necklace beforehand by simply drawing connected, filled in circles in a ring around your neck, which will glow like crazy under the black light!
This is what I have coined "PICASSO-ing" …and it is totally FUN!
TIPS: A bigger black light (such as a strip light) works better than a small bulb such as for a lamp.
Don't forget to position your light so it's not super far away from the bed.
Wait. You're not already on your way to the store to find a strip light?
You don't believe me?
Check it, girl! You're gonna LOVE this! Not to mention HE is gonna go wild about YOU!
Here I drew a kiss mark on my cheek with my regular ol' yellow highlighter. See it? Barely!
And look at me under the black light even with the bedroom light still on.
HOLY CRAP! I KNOW! It really does glow this much!
So what can you look like with just the black light in the dark? Hold on, girl!
I drew "I *heart* U" on my arm. Here it is with the lights on…
Ready? Lights off!
Now is where you let your imagination go! Grab your highlighter and begin by drawing a kiss mark on his neck followed by a trail of real kisses. Or draw a treasure map to his heart on his chest… Give him the other highlighter and design your own swimwear! Even better – "highlight tattoo" your name on your hubby's muscle. Then let him flex for you…
Ohmyheck, can you imagine what ideas your hubby will come up with to do to you? You totally are wondering now, aren't you!? You should find out tonight!
Want an even easier way to Picasso Him?
Simply color him up with washable markers! You probably already have these lying around or you can easily get a new set for just a few bucks.
Give each other a theme and let your spouse decorate you with his interpretation of it… OR try to draw one of your favorite memories together on him and see if he can tell which one it is. Once I drew a target on myself since my hubby is so into target practice… just different ammo!
Build his curiosity by leaving the markers in the shape of a heart on the bed.
Have fun with that!
Oooh, and one more idea…
Body paints!
They are definitely more messy, but sometimes that's the fun you're going for!
Finger painting will never have the same ring to it again. Ooh, I KNOW what you're thinking… you DIVA, you!!
~ Washing the art off together in the shower at the end of the night would be a sweet finale! ~
I was totally thinking the same thing!
"Surprise Picasso" Him tonight!

This board made it possible for me to put a SATA drive on to an IDE system. It works well with the newer IDE systems that have a pin blocked on the cable, but I was trying to use an older system that has all of the IDE pins open. I had better luck with a newer system. BTW, this will probably not work if you have an Emachines computer and are trying to use this to boot up a system disk from another computer..
Still have yet to get this to work, computer just will not boot.
After trying a few of these items that look like near clones of each other from different companies, and on a few different machines, I have this to offer. 1. If you connect two drives to the unit, you're asking for trouble. Looking at several pairs of different drives using the popular and reliable Aconis True Image software (booting from the CD itself), you'll see that the unit makes both drives appear to have the exact same make and model, even though they are completely different. As such and at least in Windows XP pro, any attempt to boot with both drives connected will fail, even if the second is just formatted and partitioned as a blank for extra storage. 2. If you try to use this with a bootable XP drive that works fine on the target system via its Motherboard SATA port, but then try it through a motherboard IDE port, you'll find that XP reports a missing or corrupt system file. This is really bogus... there's nothing wrong with the drive or file. Its just that XP is now seeing a drive it believed was SATA as an IDE, and will think there is something wrong. 10 minutes spent with your original XP installation disk will 'repair" it, but that's a lot different from the "plug and play" advertised. 3. There is a jumper on the device that is undocumented. Moving it will disable one of the SATA inputs, though the manufacturer says it's an "unused" jumper. Customer service, by the way, will never get to your phone call. You can reach them on line via a chat window, assuming you have a second computer to chat with them, but expect a LONG wait. 4. If you use this, especially for your main boot drive, AND manage to get it to boot, expect very long boot and drive access times. I'm not sure which takes longer... booting, or waiting on customer service. Finally, you can find clones of these on various auction sites much cheaper (MUCH cheaper) if you're willing to wait on overseas delivery. I've tried a few and they don't work any better, but since their performance is at best useful in an emergency, or maybe for rudimentary tasks like disk wiping / erasing, I'd rather pay the lesser amount. I thought paying a little more would make for a better product, but I guess the design premise itself is flawed. In any case, I'm returning mine for a refund.
This does not work with Windows 10
I bought it strictly to be able to 'wipe' a pair of SATA drives before selling them. It worked fine. Plugged it into an IDE socket on the mobo and it took right off without any additional intervention.

HOME COOKING; A Cook in Her Element, Summer
By MARK BITTMAN
Published: September 3, 2003
IF Marie Martin's cooking were a little confused, it would be understandable. Her father is a Frenchman who lived in Algeria and moved to Marseille. Her mother, who died when she was 6, grew up in Marseille as the daughter of parents who had immigrated from Barcelona. Ms. Martin was raised in Marseille by her father, her mother's mother, her mother's aunt and, occasionally, her father's mother, who had spent most of her life in Algeria.
For the past three years, Ms. Martin, who is 27, has lived in a Greenwich Village apartment. On a hot summer day that was not that different from a summer day in Provence, she created dishes that were the ultimate expression of summer vegetables, showing Provençal cooking as the ur-California cuisine -- not mixed up at all, but well defined and precise.
Late summer, for Ms. Martin, is prime time for cooking. Just the other day, she found a couple of cases of what she describes as beautiful heirloom tomatoes sitting next to a stall at the farmers' market at Abingdon Square. ''The woman had decided they were not worth selling,'' she said, ''because they were 'too ripe,' or 'not the right shape' or 'too ugly.' So a friend and I loaded up as many bags as we could carry.'' Back home, she prepared tomato jam with vanilla.
She has haunted farmers' markets since she arrived in the United States. She moved here when her former boyfriend, Charles Olson, returned home to attend law school at New York University. They had met at Oxford, where she was teaching French and he was working on a Ph.D. (Mr. Olson is now her husband.)
''It's hard to find really good-tasting ingredients here, and that can be frustrating,'' said Ms. Martin, who works in marketing and public relations. ''But then I found the small shops in the Village and the farmers' markets, and since then I've been happier.''
When I cooked with her, we began with her tomato tart, a recipe she learned from an aunt. ''My aunt is a great cook who specialized in tarts,'' she said, ''this one, a leek and bacon tart, a zucchini-curry version, one with olives and anchovies, and others -- and I learned all of them from her.''
The tomato tart, which has a quickly made and very rich crust (easily done by hand or in the food processor), is fresh and straightforward. But it has a surprise ingredient, a hefty dose of mustard. ''My family cooks a lot with mustard,'' she said. ''We like strong flavors in everything.''
Indeed, watching Ms. Martin work is a lesson in strong flavors (and in cooking without measuring). We began a day of cooking together with several bunches of basil and a few heads of garlic, and I watched the piles of each quickly diminish as we washed and chopped the former and peeled and minced the latter. Much of this was incorporated into her soupe au pistou, essentially a minestrone with a hefty dose of an intensely garlicky pesto.
The soup is made in her maternal grandmother's pressure cooker (the recipe is also hers), which Ms. Martin ''smuggled'' over from France. ('' 'There seems to be a large metal object in your bag,' they said to me at security,'' she recalled.) She prefers to use fresh shell beans, which, like almost everything else used in these recipes, are in season now. Indeed, the soup is better with an assortment of them than it is with dried beans.
''The most important thing, however,'' she said, as if reciting a variation on a mantra while cramming more garlic and basil into the blender, ''is to use lots of fresh basil, lots of fruity olive oil, lots of garlic, and lots of ripe, tasty tomatoes.'' Does this sound like Provence?
Though her recipes are mostly from the women of the family, there are male influences also. ''My father is a terrific cook,'' she said. ''But his recipes take forever; he's very meticulous.'' And her 30-year-old brother (another brother is 33) is her longtime cooking companion. ''When I was 14,'' she said, ''the cooking was left to my brother and me. We made lots based on my grandmother's recipes, but also we experimented all the time -- we'd call my grandmother, ask her how to make something, and take it from there.''
The confidence and ease with which Ms. Martin cooks -- rapidly adjusting the amount of milk and eggs needed in order to create a silky, custardy base for the zucchini in her flan de courgettes -- is an obvious result of this period.
Not every recipe we made together featured tomatoes. We also prepared a cherry clafoutis, a cakelike dessert that is made with what amounts to pancake batter and is popular throughout France. But Ms. Martin's clafoutis is a little different from most. For one thing, it is creamier, more flanlike. For another, she leaves the pits in most of the cherries. ''It's better this way, because the pits have a huge amount of flavor,'' she said. And either we had an exceptionally good batch of cherries or she is correct. (Her guests just spit out the pits.)
I did manage to convince Ms. Martin to prepare something from the Catalonian side of the family, even though it was out of season and not a natural part of what turned out to be an otherwise vegetarian feast. This is migas, an ingenious way of turning leftover bread into a substantial dish by combining it with chorizo, olive oil and a couple of heads of garlic. Migas is best served as an appetizer because a little goes a long way, though it is also notoriously difficult to stop eating it.
My suggestion is you work your way through the late-summer recipes here first, and save the migas for later in the fall. But my guess is you'll want to jump on it. I did.
Time: About 1 hour
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, more as needed
2 to 3 pounds zucchini, washed and thinly sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon minced garlic
5 eggs
1/4 cup cream or milk
4 medium tomatoes, preferably very ripe, cored and roughly chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon sugar.

keeping row count with circular needle
What's the best way, team?
I use a one of those little barrel counters. They're made with a thin plastic tether that goes over the needle like a stitch marker so that you can use them when knitting a tube. Or I just knit what looks like the right number of rounds and then count up a column of sts.
Ah; I should've been more specific. Comme d'habitude.
My garment has reached the stage where the two ... erhmm ... shirt-tails have been joined, and I am now knitting the entire thing as an uninterrupted item on my 100mm circular needle. (It's bloody difficult, too, shoving the stitches around all the time; but that's another story.)
So I can't put a stitch-counter on.
Marks on a piece of paper, eh? You lot are as technically advanced as I am! ;)
I think I might go to a site like Dragonext and see if I can find a little counter of some kind - one that stands on feet ...
Ah, yes. I'm a fan of the pencil and paper myself but in extremis, I've used a barrel counter with a strand of yarn through the barrel and then looped and tied over the needle. Not very elegant but it at least stays put and serves a a round marker/counter when I travel with knitting.
I do understand and sympathize with the "shoving the sts" maneuver which is also technically advanced.
Go glamorous! Hang your row counter round your neck, it will be avant garde jewelry. Actually I've seen them that are supposed to go around the neck. I think on youtube I saw something about a bracelet row counter. Pushing and shoving must be all the rage, I've got some of that going on with my current project.
Mystery: Why can't I remember to advance the row counter but can remember to put a mark on a piece of paper?
Yes to all of what GG says. For flat knitting, I changed to counting every 2 rows. I advance the marker when I turn back to the RS. Somehow....that works in my brain.
I have one of those electronic row counters that will keep track of 3 projects at once, but it's too easy to hit the wrong button. It works, though. But I also use marks on a piece of paper as a backup. Marks right on the pattern so I know where I'm at. Usually I'll remember to do one of them.
1 Attachment(s)
Hmm ... easy to see that no tried, tested, true solution exists, eh, ladies?
I've ordered one of those manual tally counters. Had to go to bloody eBay, in the end. How I loathe eBay. Anyway, the bastard I ordered it from is supposed to've sent it overnight delivery; but to say that I have my doubts is grossly understating the case.
So I shall shortly (depending) be able to add my comments re yet another method of counting rows.
Wondering why I loathe eBay?
I put in my on-line order yesterday morning at 8:15, paying an extra twelve bucks for express overnight postage.
Just now - which, in Sydney terms, is 3:30 pm the following day, I've received email saying the item has been posted.

Cliff's Notes Guide to the 2013 Draft
The NFL Draft is six hours away and you need to be able to competently discuss this tonight over text or Twitter with your friends, or whatever guy is next to you at the bar when you dip in and out of the draft -- and bowls of wings -- between periods of tonight's Penguins game.
But you haven't studied!
Like in junior high when you had a seventh period English quiz on Ahab's motivation in Moby Dick and you didn't get past "Call me Ishmael."
You need to cram, and fast. But panic not -- presenting Blog 'N' Gold Cliff's Notes guide to the 2013 NFL Draft.
First, a couple of broad strokes -- for the first time since probably Dubya's first term, the Steelers do not need to draft an offensive lineman. They have a bunch of good young ones. You'll sound like a piker if you say this. Outside Linebacker, Wide Receiver, Safety. That's what the Steelers most desperately need.
Also, don't call the draft a crap-shoot. This is the annual career fair for a billion dollar industry that does research, testing and background checks that would be the envy of the NSA, all to see how a few hundred 22-year old often emotionally immature human specimens will respond to the physical and psychological stresses of untold fame and fortune in a complicated job that requires them to maim each other on a regular basis ... So uh, yeah, then again maybe it is a crap-shoot.
Using the choicest of draft cliches, here are a bunch of players to keep an eye on tonight and through the weekend. (And if you want an amusing list of draft night archetypes, check this out.)
THE NEED: Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia.
Mock after mock after mock has the Steelers taking Jones, and it makes perfect sense – a grade A prospect to replace James Harrison in the marquee position in the 3-4 zone blitz scheme. And most importantly, Ed Bouchette says he's the guy. He's usually right.
Jones himself says so too.
But, a little devil's advocate -- is this to high for the position? Consider: Greg Lloyd, fifth round; Jason Gildon: third round; Joey Porter, third round; James Harrison, undrafted.
Historically, this defense creates stars at ROLB as much as they create themselves. Plus if it finally clicks for 2010 second round pick Jason Worilds, then what?
THE SAFE PICK: Kenny Vaccaro, S Texas.
Time to get used to this uncomfortable idea: Troy Polamalu's days are numbered.
The 2013 season could very likely be the Polynesian Samson's swan song in Pittsburgh, after which he'll ascend into football heaven, trumpeted by angels, lifted into the sky on a giant Head & Shoulders bottle, while he mercifully unshackles the souls of Carson Palmer and Joe Flacco, his two most frequent torment-ees.
And his buddy Ryan Clark, a.k.a. one of the Steelers best free-agent pickups of the last decade might ride off with him, his motor-mouth sure to make him a good NFL analyst.
So Vaccarro, a hard-hitting, versatile and top-rated safety that can play both positions would be the ideal candidate to be groomed for a year to take over one of those spots.
THE GIFT: Any one of these three guys ...
That would be Ziggy Ansah, Dion Jordan or Barkevious Mingo. All would be ideal fits to replace James Harrison, all are consistently rated higher than Jones, and all are almost certain to be gone before Pittsburgh is on the clock. Different mocks have different combinations of them going anywhere from 2 to 15.
Personally, I'm pulling for Barkevious, for two reasons: his name sounds like a modifier for a wily canine and for a Heinz Field full of Seinfeld-ian "Maybe the Mingo ate your baby!" signs.
None of these guys should be available. And consider that last year, David DeCastro fell into the Steelers lap at no. 24, after universally being pegged as a top 15 pick. Similarly, in 2005 Heath Miller dropped all the way to 30 for the Steelers to grab despite being projected to go much higher.
In the immortal words of Lloyd Christmas:
THE BE(A)ST AVAILABLE: Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame.
Call this kid Gronk with a brain.
Our own Gerry Dulac was the first media-type to publicly champion this choice and – at least initially – it sounded nuts. But the Roger Sterling of the PG sports department was on to something as more and more national experts put Eifert in black and gold.
At 6'6/251 he'd be a huge target for Big Ben and would fit perfectly into Todd Haley's offense. His is consistently compared to the Patriots' Pro Bowl meathead Rob Gronkowski, though presumably he's much, much smarter – after all he did go to Notre Dame. (emphasis and sarcasm mine)
Problem is, he's become a draft darling of late and with the Jets now holding two spots above the Steelers, they might take him at no. 13. If only they could find a quarterback to throw the ball to him.
THE BIG UPSIDE/A PROJECT: Cordarelle Patterson, WR Tennessee.
The greatest draftisms ever, the ying and yang of draft days clichés, the Big Upside Guy is always termed as such because he is a raw talent that needs a ton of polish – and therefore is A Project – and could just as easily be a total catastrophe. Jamian Stephens, for instance, had a big upside – and backside – and was a project.
But Patterson is considered to be the best raw talent of just a so-so receivers crop and has dazzled his way to being a consensus first-round pick despite have only one season of Division I football under his belt – he was a Juco transfer to the Vols.
In ESPN the Magazine, KC Joyner compared his Juco film to Randy Moss at Marshall; conversely Todd McShay said Patterson may disappears for most of a game, but that when he does something good it will "blow your mind" – sounds a lot like a guy who recently left town for Miami.
THE REACH/VALUE PICK: Eddie Lacy, RB, Alabama.
Lacy was the stud runner of a national champion and may go on to have a fine NFL career, but being the best running back in this year's class is like being the tallest midget – and that's why none may go in the first round, especially not at no. 17, where he'd be a reach.
But take him in the second round, and all of a sudden he's a terrific choice. Fantastic value. I can hear Mike Mayock saying it now in that Philly accent (or Kiper in his Baltimore, hon, patios). The same goes for Montee Ball from Wisconsin or Le'Veon Bell from Michigan State. Great second round options. Just ask the experts.
Consider also the Steelers track record of picking running backs in the first round since the merger, not named Franco Harris: Walter Abercrombie, Tim Worley, Rashard Mendenhall. Underachiever, flat-out bust, underachiever. Now consider Jerome Bettis, Willie Parker and Barry Foster. Acquired via trade, UFA and a fifth-round pick, they are the Steelers second, third and seventh all-time leading rushers.
THE SLEEPER: Michael Mauti, LB, Penn State.
If we're counting a sleeper pick as any player taken in rounds four and up, the Steelers have done alright in the past few years – Antonio Brown is the top receiver, Cortez Allen will start at corner and Kelvin Beachum will push the starters ahead of him.
So let's go with Mauti – a likely third-rounder before his knee injury – as a poor man's Sean Lee at a position the Steelers can use some depth and young blood. His intensity is e was the unquestioned leader of the Nittany Lions last year – as thankless a job as any player could get in college football in 2012.
THE LUXURY PICK: None.
No chance. Not when you're coming off of 8-8 and have more holes than a block of Emmentaler and less cap space for free agents than Luke Ravenstahl had on that secret ATM card. This draft has an urgency not felt since 2004 – which yielded Ben Roethlisberger and Max Starks.
Some more names to remember: Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State; Elam, SS, Florida; Mauti Te'o (like you'd forget that one); Jonathan Cyprien, S, Florida International; Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee; Bjeorn Werner, DE, Florida State.

Still digging my Winter Dream in MC with single pole.
Don't be too fast to dismiss them. They make the best quilts on the market!
At first the website seems complicated, but it's because they offer so many choices to configure exactly what you want....
While the Ti shepherd hook stakes are certainly light, I found they just don't have enough surface contact to hold well.
My favorite stakes are the "Nobendium" shepherd hooks from Kelty. (Yes they...
It all just depends on the person, their size, how they sleep, and the temperature.
I use a 3/4 in Summer, a 7/8 UGQ 20* in Spring and Fall, and a full length 0* in Winter.
Realistically, that...
I bought the 0* Renegade back a few months ago.
It appears in every way to be the Rolls Royce of top quilts, but honestly, I haven't had the chance to test it in 0* conditions. It will be...

I've been a Clarks user for years and have a few different models.
Along the way, I've tried several other makers. WBBB, etc. I hated...
I agree on the packs. I kinda like some of my cuben stuff sacks and dry bags.
But cuben is a fantastic material for tarps!
It seems that the only people who question cuben as a tarp are those...
Have a look at UGQ "Winter Dream." http://www.undergroundquilts.com/tarps/default.html#WINTER_DREAM
It is available in 11 ft ridge-line, 126 inches wide (10' 6"), in Multi-cam. Sounds like most...
Even if you had a different hammock, I'd still recommend UGQ quilts. Especially, for 0* winter use.
But if you have Dream Thunderbird (as do I) then most definitely go with UGQ quilts and ask for...
My new UGQ Hanger 11WB in multicam arrived today.
Can't really say I'm bothered by the black edge. :laugh:
LOL. As much as I like multicam, I'm not THAT obsessive. :laugh:
Absolutely true!
The Klemheist is best when resistance is in only one direction, and for most applications involving a ridgeline this is the case.
I use a klemheist on Figure-9 where it ties off...
I have ordered from both.
When I want to go lightweight in Summer I take HG.
When I want to be warm in cold weather I take UGQ.
I think UGQ is built with beefier construction but it also...
Have a look at the UGQ (Underground Quilts) website. http://www.undergroundquilts.com/uq/default.html
They offer a 7/8 length, 66"
UGQ quality is without peer in the cottage industry.
Yep. It's hard to justify the money difference between the multicam upgrade and just the regular solid color tarp, but I think it is so much better looking than my old Winter Dream.
Although I already had a "Winter Dream" I've been coveting one in Multicam ever since they were introduced.
Finally pulled the trigger and placed the order. I ordered this one with the center pole...
I've been using Clarks Jungle Hammocks for 15 years. Have owned the original "Ultralight" model (my favorite!), the "Tropical," and the NX-150.
A little heavier, yes. But Clarks is the most full...
I have had about 10 different hammocks from a half dozen different makers,....and the Clarks' Ultralight is my favorite of them all. :shades:
I replace the supplied ropes with DIY whoopies.
I hike and camp almost exclusively in the mountains along the NC/TN state line.
For me, the 3/4 length 20 degree Hammock Gear and the 0 degree Underground Quilts full length serve me well year...
It is possible that OTHER PEOPLE are reading and trying to decide for themselves. They might not be aware of other options.
Underground Quilts is located in the OP's home state. He might have been...
You might have a look at the "Winter Dream" from Underground Quilts. ;)
It's available in both 132" (11ft) and 144" (12 ft) ridgeline length.
Doors included, beefy snaps, beefy stress points on...
Between the mosquitos and the fire ants you won't have time to be worried about alligators. ;)
It's an 11 X 14 wall tent made by Tentsmith.
There is a removable partition curtain about 5 feet back. Makes the remaining portion easier to heat.
Yes, indeed!
I've got the tent and the 2 dog stove, but I'm not backpacking it!
And if car camping, I'd rather have a cot than a hammock.
It's just easier to hop up or bed down.
I don't know. I suppose one would have to try all available to make a definitive statement.
And,....my bet is that each maker would make a claim.
I'm sure it probably mostly comes down to...
When my kids were very young I dreamed of the day when they would be big enough to go on camping trips with me. Along the way, life happened. It seemed the kids were always busy with...
Whooo Buddy!
Coming home yesterday after a two week business trip had me excited because I was expecting to find a parcel waiting for me in my PO box.
I was NOT disappointed.

I once bought a case of 1000 rounds of ammo at Walmart.
When I got up to the check-out, the woman scanned the bar code and the price came up $24 (and some odd cents). Basically, the price of a box...
The Slinglight is my favorite piece of backpacking gear!
I don't go without it.
I think the 4-turn Prusik is nicer looking and easier to adjust.
But when it absolutely, positively has to hold overnight,.....Klemheist!
I'm not planning on selling my WBBB as it's convenient to keep as a loaner for my kids or a camping partner. But for myself,....I moved on after using the bird only a few times.
I don't like the...
I find that I can get into the warmer full zip bags without a problem while laying in the hammock.
It's the half-zip lightweight bags that give me fits!
But all I can say is that after switching...
Thanks for passing the bushcraft on to the next generation, enjoy them while they are young, .....and welcome to the forum. This is one of the coolest sites on the web.
Go ahead and make all your mistakes while you are young, dumb, and good looking. Let yourself get cold and wet! You will learn from it. :lol:

I just found the UL to have exactly what I need, no more, no less, in the lightest model available.

It is definitely lighter!
But my HG cat cut cuben requires a bigger stuff sack than the larger sil-nylon Golite cave.

I have accumulated several different kinds of stakes over the years, but these are my favorite.
What noise? I'm digging cuben!
Have now acquired tarp, dry bag, bishop bag, stuff sacks, packa, ......and have yet to find any downside.
There's nothing really "wrong" with it as is, but you can get more support with less sag if you run your ridge line under your tarp.
I have never once been wet inside my hammock since I started using a hammock back in the 1990's.
And that includes the small 3D integrated rain fly on my first Clark Ultralight.
But along the...
Me too. I have bought 3 Clarks models, an Exped Scout, and a WBBB,.....but the Clarks Ultralight is still my favorite. It was my first.

The authors have produced an eminently useful and practical book, which can be commended to the practitioner who proposes to use electricity in the treatment of disease or for surgical work. Part I, of over 140 pages, gives a somewhat extended account of the physics of electricity which might possibly with propriety be left in large part to technical text-books. The presence of numerous algebraic formulæ gives an appearance of mathematics which to many may be more alarming than otherwise, though the subject is skilfully and plainly handled. Part II sets forth electro-physiology with many instructive and new illustrations, and electro-diagnosis is considered, somewhat briefly. The chapter on apparatus recalls rather prominently, by its cuts and text, the catalogues of various manufacturers. Part III takes up the applications of electricity and special electro-therapeutics in an optimistic spirit which is captivating, but may lead to some disappointment, it is feared.

The permanent scatterers (PS) technique is a powerful operational tool that exploits a long series of synthetic aperture radar data for monitoring ground deformations with millimeter accuracy on a high spatial density grid of pointwise targets. The technique has been applied successfully to a number of applications, from subsidence and volcano monitoring to slow-landslide detection. This paper aims to analyze and demonstrate the positioning capability of the PS technique applied to the generation of urban elevation maps. The problem of the univocal identification of the PS position (discarding pixel-dependent sidelobes, both far and near) is addressed, and an easy and efficient solution is proposed. The results obtained in the Milan site allow the appreciation of the very high quality of an urban digital elevation model retrieved with the PS technique. The ground level of the city is identified with submeter accuracy, and elevated targets, where present, reveal building profiles. The estimated city street level (ranging plusmn3m in 16times18 km2) is then compared to those obtained with the same technique using a descending parallel track and an ascending one. Furthermore, the estimated PS elevation with respect to the ground has been connected to temperature-dependent elongations of high structures

Tetradecyl ferulate and a new n-alkyl ester of 3-hydroxy-4-methoxy-trans-cinnamate (hexacosanylisoferulate) have been isolated from Cedrelinga catenaeformis Duke (Leguminoseae). The structures were determined by 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, chemical transformations and finally from unambiguous synthesis. This is the first report of long chained cinnamic acid ester derivative from the genus.

Everyone had a childhood fascination with birthdays at one point or another. After all, who doesn't enjoy a deliciously moist chocolate cake (get that vanilla nonsense out of here) that goes hand-in-hand with presents? Birthdays lose much of their charm as you grow older, however, and serve as an annual reminder that we're one year closer to joint pain, senility, and more medication than anyone can keep track of. Still, if there is one thing birthdays are good for, it's the sporadic get-together of friends and family for a rocking birthday bash.
When those times arise, draw today's present and future elderly out of their home or backyard and into your restaurant's banquet room! You've already got the delicious food to fill them up, right? Well, WEBstaurantStore.com has all of the tabletop settings that you need to quickly construct a spirited environment for all ages!
Whether the gathering is in celebration of a child's birthday or there are children who are simply along for the ride, WEBstaurantStore.com has what you need to create a festive dining surface.
Let's be honest; children are notoriously messy eaters. Help protect your tabletop from unsightly stains and make the cleanup process quicker and more convenient than ever by choosing between our party-themed table covers to dress the entire table, and birthday placemats to create individual dining surfaces! Because the foundation of each of these items is standard white paper, why not give your youngest guests an added layer of amusement with our restaurant crayons that will let their imaginations run wild?
Children love bright, flashy colors, so give them what they want in a disposable and economic form! Set your children's table with colorful plastic cups and lids, plastic plates, plastic flatware, and colored dinner napkins!
The needs of adults are much less restrictive than those of children; just give us the essentials and we're good to go. Luckily for you, WEBstaurantStore.com has all of the essentials that look great and are also unbeatably priced! Versatile options that would work well at almost any food service operation include glass tumblers, glass plates, Regency flatware, cloth napkins, and cloth table covers.
Of course, adults will think even more highly of you if you're prepared to offer them their favorite alcoholic beverages. Serve them your most popular brews from a glass pitcher into our beer glasses and glass beer mugs, or pour your famous house wines from a decanter or carafe into a beautiful wine glass for their enjoyment. Create the right atmosphere with all of these ingredients, and you'll be sure to win over a room full of what will surely become repeat customers!
When the entree is finished and it's time for the cake to make its appearance, don't forget to have the candles lit! But please, don't use trick candles. Even the youngest of children can sense how demoralizing it is to fail at something as simple as blowing out a flame while all those in company find joy in their desperation. Really--it's not funny.
Just kidding. It totally is.
I take blowing candles out so seriously, that the only way I am satisfied is if I blow all of the candles clear off the cake.

I installed "All in One SEO Pack" plugin on Japanese environment.
This plugin contains all_in_one_seo_pack-ja.mo file,
but this plugin is not displayed in Japanese.
So I tried to run msgunfmt.exe command, and it says as follows.
msgunfmt.exe all_in_one_seo_pack-ja.mo -o all_in_one_seo_pack-ja.po
msgunfmt.exe: file "all_in_one_seo_pack-ja.mo" contains a not NUL terminated string
I found that Changeset 50556 causes this problem.
Therefore all_in_one_seo_pack-ja.mo file is corrupted since version 220.127.116.11 (3 years ago!).
If you have PO file, you should re-generate MO file from PO file.

Louisiana governor reports on freedom of slaves in 1865
Published: Wednesday, August 10, 2011 at 10:57 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 10, 2011 at 10:57 a.m.
One of the outcomes of the Civil War was the emancipation of slaves, but former slaves, black freed men did not immediately enjoy full equality in southern Louisiana.
On Nov. 17, 1865, before the National Equal Suffrage Association of Washington, D.C., wartime Louisiana Gov. Michael Hahn, after whom Hahnville is named, addressed the realities of "equal suffrage," (full citizenship) citing an incident in Terrebonne Parish as an example.
Hahn had not planned to speak at the gathering: "In the character of a speaker, I must confess I appear before you more as a conscript than as a volunteer. Some of my friends among you ... announced my name as a speaker on this occasion, without my consent.
"From the want of preparation and study, my thoughts will necessarily be thrown out in an irregular manner, without any order of arrangement.
"The war of arms is closed, but a war of ideas is now commencing ... deep-rooted prejudices must be cast aside." Hahn told the friendly audience, "The authority of the National Government and the claims of humanity must be cheerfully acknowledged, and the false teachings of by-gone generations must give place to the lessons of practical and progressive experience.
"Fellow-citizens, while we strive to secure the object we have in view — the right of suffrage to all American citizens, regardless of color — we must overcome obstacles and difficulties of a serious character which still threaten to prevent our immediate success.
"It is a mistaken idea to suppose that slavery is already abolished. The national authority has declared emancipation.
"I, who come from the South and have seen the working of the institution for over a quarter of a century, tell you — and I do it regrettingly — that slavery in practice and substance still exists.
"Let us not mince matters; let us call things by their right names ... pro-slavery leaders. ... Aware that this nation will no longer tolerate slavery in any State, have come to the conclusion to adopt the first article of the amendment.
"They are willing to declare that slavery is dead; but they do not seem willing that the nation should throw its protecting arms around liberty and secure the substance as well as the name of freedom. ... The nation should insist on an unqualified ratification of the whole amendment, and then Congress should apply itself to the passage of laws carrying out and enforcing the principles which it embodies.
"Congress should see to it that no slave codes are enacted in any States or districts which, in substance and reality, revive all the features of the institution, except the name.
"If we permit a town council to ordain that colored persons shall not remain within the corporate limits, except during certain hours of the day, and then only with a written pass from their former owners as employers, and to prescribe a punishment for persons who may transact business with or lease rooms or houses to colored persons without such written permit, we permit the institution of slavery still to exist, shorn of its name."
Such ordinances had been passed, Hahn said, in Louisiana towns like Franklin.
"This discrimination against the colored man cannot be allowed to continue, if we are earnest in desiring freedom to all men.
"The infamous enactments, prescribing the severest penalties for such persons as should dare to discuss the rights of colored persons or endeavor to teach them to read and write, should be entirely abrogated and trampled under foot. If men be indicted and imprisoned for agitating the question of colored suffrage, there is no freedom of speech.
"I have with me and will read you an indictment recently found against two gentlemen, citizens of Louisiana, who during my administration received from me the appointment respectively of sheriff and recorder of the parish of Terrebonne:
"The Grand Jurors of ... Terrebonne ... upon their oath present:
"That Robert W. Bennie, of the parish of Terrebonne, as principal, and Alfred Rougelot, as accessory before the fact ... did, on the 5th October, 1865 ... hold the following language:
"That the Negroes should vote; that they had this right, and unless this privilege be granted them, it would be done at a great deal of expense of blood, and that blood would be shed in defense of this right."
Additionally, the indictment said, "Bennie and Rougelot did use seditious and insurrectionary and dangerous language willfully and maliciously, for the purpose of creating disturbance and trouble between the whites and freed men ... to the terror of the citizens ... against the peace and dignity of the same."
The indictment was signed by District Attorney R. N. Ogden, and filed Oct. 17, by H. C. Daspit, deputy clerk of court.
"This document" Hahn said, "shows the spirit which is sought to be reanimated in matters connected with the cause of the colored man. Men fresh from rebellion, and but recently amnestied by a kind and magnanimous Government, come home and punish their neighbors for being true, like Robert Bennie, to the cause of progress.
"I do not say that all ... participate in these acts or feelings of vindictiveness to the friends of the colored man, or to the colored man himself.
"Many, very many, and, I trust, a large preponderance, honestly accept the issues of the war and the results of their defeat; but others who manifest a contrary disposition, in some places already exhibit a formidable political power.
"Thank God the day when the power of the confederacy could compel Union men to smother their sentiment or disguise their feelings to save their necks from the halter, is at an end; and it is a duty which Congress owes to the true men of the country to save them from another such deplorable condition.
"Not only white men must be allowed to speak and publish their sentiments on all public questions, and to meet in public assemblies, but colored men must be secured the same rights."

I own about 10 George Sateen/Poplin Dress shirts and this particular shirt is in my top 2. The first thing you notice about this shirt is the color. It is the most stunning blue I have ever seen. It really stands out from the crowd. This is a fitted shirt, so no worries with sizing. It is very easy to care for...just machine wash (I use delicate cycle) and throw in the dryer on low and it is ready to wear...no wrinkles...no ironing. Match this great shirt up with a pair of black George Men's Premium Flat Front Pants, a black tie, black dress socks and black shoes and you will really turn some heads.
I have bought many of the black shirt, as i am a waiter in NYC, my uniform is all black and this shirt is great, I wear them once, put in hamper and wash them once a week, cold water only, fab softener, and hang to dry, don't even need to iron, any stain always comes out, and always get complements on how they look, and at that price, cant find a good shirt here in NYC of that quality for that price. This is the only shirt i will wear to work!
The last time these were available in my size in black I snatched up 5 of them and wasn't disappointed. With care in the laundry, these shirts will last without fading or wear signs on the collar and cuffs. If there is any complaint to be made it's that they come in and out of stock so quickly it's hard to stock up.
I ordered this shirt to wear for my wedding, and it was everything I wanted and needed it to be. I have other George shirts, so the sizing was not an issue. The shirt arrived on time, and I found the price to be an extremely good value. Granted I had to pay for expidited shipping but it was crucial that I have the shirt in time for the wedding, and I certainly don't regret any part of this purchase. I would reccomend this garment to anyone, be it for church, work, or any other dressy event.
Husband loves it! At first, I thought they had sent me the wrong size because the sleeves appeared short. However, when my husband put it on for church, I was proven wrong, the sleeve length was perfect. I usually just order shirts in XL, but the fit of ordering your personal neck and sleeve length really does make a statement. Great style, look, comfit, and value at a reduced even lower price. So happy with this shirt that were ordering more. You won't be disappointed!
This shirt is very nice. The picture and description was very accurate. Fits perfect. Cant complain. Price very reasonable. Does wrinkle however so I dry them slightly then hang them and the shirt doesnt seem to wrinkle as bad.
Incredibly good bargain in terms of quality-price ratio. As good quality as what one's find in department stores, but far cheaper!
This is most billowy baggy dress shirt I have ever worn. The chest and waist were a few sizes too big, and the sleeves looked like some type of renaissance fair costume. When I tucked it in, there were billows of fabric that look like cloth love handles hanging over my pants. If any man is serious about his wardrobe, he'll invest in a dress shirt that actually fits, and not a cotton blend. Brooks Brother, Indochino, Thom Brown, and Ralph Lauren make far superior dress shirts to this. Even Macy's, Banana Republic, and Nordstrom carry slim fitted dress shirts that look far faaaaaar more tailored than this shirt.
This is a great shirt at a very low price with shipping under a dollar , in fact after seeing the bargain I've gotten here ,I'm going to order a couple more. If you want a quality product at a good price it dosn't get any better than this.
I have ordered 5 of these so far and will be ordering at least 4 more. Also they are easy to care for and need little ironing when taken out of dryer right away. They make a geat first impression on the customer's we serve. Also management is very impressed with the quality and have decided to add them to the dress code at the restaurant, and many of my co-employees have bought them through walmart.com. Thanks for such great service, as well as prompt shipping! Also try the Dickie's 874 Black work pants original fit they too look sharp, and have permenant pleat and are a great value! iamthechia
Camano Island, WA.
The sleeves need to be about 2 inches longer.
i purchased this shirt online with the total expectations of sending it back if i wasn't totally happy. i am thrilled with this shirt. the color is much more richer in person and everyone i know has complimented me on it. the quality of the fabric and the tailoring and stitching of this shirt looks like i bought it in a fine mens shop. i also purchased it in red and i feel the same with the same results. i don't live near a walmart so i am thrilled to be able to shop online with walmart. i think i'll go check out some slacks.
These "George" poplin dress shirts are not nearly as good as the older (discontinued) "Puritan" dress shirts:
These have thinner fabric.
These wrinkle almost like cotton, though they claim the same 55% polyester.
These are cut smaller (sleeve length & waist).
Sewing is not as good.
In short, nothing about these is as good as the older Puritan shirts!
The worst shirt I have ever bought, partly because the color I bought is black. It run easily even without washing. Some of my clothes also got dirty. I don't know whether the stain can be washed out. So don't buy this kind of shirt, especially the black one.
When we purchased this item, we did not realize it wasn't wrinkle-free. No matter how fast you pull it from a hot dryer, it MUST be ironed or you look as though you slept in it. If you don't like to iron, don't purchase it.
My hubby loves these shirts because they are casual but look great and classy with a tie. I was pleasantly surprised to find Walmart have such a great variety at a cheaper price than what I normally get them for...yay!
Fit my husband well-resists wrinkles-has a unique button at the neck that will expand out if needed-similiar to a hidden expandable waistline... this is a hidden expandable neckline- nice color too
he loved this shirt, said it felt great on him. He got compliments the first day he wore it, even from finicky family. He's hard to buy for so you can bet I'll be getting more.
Good shirts but they run small, both in the sleeve length and body. I normally wear a 17 1/2 X 34 and I had to buy a 17 1/2 X 36. Can't beat the price. Great for the office.
I did not realize how hard it is to find a men's dress shirt in the color black, in a size small. But I did thanks to Walmart.com and at a great price!

Eating Meat May Raise Colon Cancer Risk
Why Meat May Raise Colon Cancer Risk continued...
"It appears that red meat -- and maybe processed meat even more -- has some relationship with colon cancer risk," says panel member Steven H Zeisel, MD, PhD, theKenan Distinguished Professor of nutrition and pediatrics at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
"A betting person would say there is risk associated with the consumption of red meat and processed meat," he says. "Moderating the amount of red meat you take in is reasonable based on this data. And trying to cut back and substitute other types of meat or vegetables would be a good idea for someone who wants to reduce risk of colon cancer."
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Drinking alcohol may increase colon cancer risk, according to the report. The report also states that excess belly fat may raise colorectal cancer risk, but staying lean, eating more fiber, and engaging in regular physical activity can help lower this risk.
"If you limit consumption of red meat, you have more room on your plate for good things like whole grains and vegetables," Bandera says. Some simple substitutes can help. "Choosing brown rice instead of white rice is a good way of increasing fiber."
Alice Bender, MS, RD, of the AICR, says the new report is especially important to people with a family history of colorectal cancer.
"If you have family history, it's more important than ever to follow these guidelines because they offer potentially some extra protection," she says.
National Cattlemen's Beef Association Weighs In
"Americans should continue to build healthier diets with beef, knowing the scientific evidence to support the role of nutrient-rich, lean beef in a healthy, balanced diet is strong," says Shalene McNeill, PhD, RD, executive director of Human Nutrition Research at the National Cattlemen's Beef Association.
"Nothing in this update should change the way Americans consume beef," she says. " In fact, Americans are consuming beef well within WCRF's [World Cancer Research Fund] 500 gram (18 ounces) per week recommendation. As a scientist, registered dietitian, and a mother, I will continue to recommend lean beef to Americans trying to build a healthier plate because of the unique package of nutrients and enjoyment it brings to a healthy diet."

Birthdays are beautiful things and deserve to be celebrated. Have a cake at home, by all means. Go all out and have a chocolate-peanut-butter-meringue-almond-butter-cashew-pistachio cake topped with buttercream chock-full of dairy and artificial colors. It's your party. But don't complain because your kid can't have that at school, where they're supposed to be focused on learning.
When it comes to holidays, Thanksgiving has the best menu, in my very humble and completely unscientific opinion. We're talking all of my favorites: mashed potatoes, apple pie, dinner rolls, turkey gravy, stuffing... Notice a trend here? Gluten. Wheat. Dairy. Gluten and wheat and dairy in (almost) everything.

I've been using Skype since its inception and think it's the greatest of tools, however I have a challenge I need guidance with at this time:
I have an international seafood trading and brokerage business, and we use Skype video whether we've at home, in a hotel room, the bedroom, the bathroom, the office, in a restaurant, or at picking up the kids at day school and this doesn't lend itself for a very professional background. I need help and suggestions for a virtual background which we can use successfully with Skype video regardless of where we are and keep a very professional look - nothing funny or silly like you would see with iPhoto.
This needs to be incorporated whereby, when signing on Skype video, the background might show our logo or a harbor scene with our logo, etc.
If anyone has any ideas of how we can simply incorporate a virtual, not physical, background we can use when video conferencing with customers, suppliers, co-brokers, logistics providers, bankers, etc, this would be a huge help.

AbstractWe propose to develop a space-ready instrument that can accurately measure the emissivities, absorptivities, and long term stabilities of several passive and active coatings or thermal structures simultaneously. This technique provides a direct measure of the heat flowing through the surface using heat flux sensors, so the performances of the thermal control materials mounted on these sensors are obtained directly. This technique makes the thermal properties and temperature history of the substrate on which the test surface is installed irrelevant to the emissivity/absorptivity measurement, eliminating the need for thermal insulation of the test surface from the rest of structure. This advantage enables our technique to test multiple samples on the same device or the monitoring for spatial variations across a single thermal device. The small size of the sensors will allow the necessary spatial resolution to resolve the performance variation across the active coatings or thermal structures. Our prototype will include the necessary electronics to perform tests and collect data while deployed in orbit. The required tests will be performed to insure the delivery of a space-certified system.

The Graphic Art of Maestro Rufino Tomayo
A noted painter of the previous century, Rufino Tomayo created abstract art that is as well known in that world as that of his contemporaries Jackson Pollock, Diego Rivera, and Wilhelm de Kooning. While Tomayo was marginalized in the Mexican art community during the 1930s for his lack of interest in creating political art, he was later welcomed in New York City for his innovative aesthetic techniques. This visiting exhibit will focus on works from later in his career, featuring 22 graphic pieces that highlight his exploration into lithography, as well as mixographia, a technique he used to convey depth and create texture within two-dimensional images. In Tomayo's world, a snake winds its way through a sea of brown and green, red hands call out to primitive and modern art simultaneously, and the dark shadow of a woman stands among warm, golden-brown surroundings. His paintings are an inspired mix of Mexican tradition and a handful of other schools of art. A public reception will be held from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Friday, June 19.
Tuesdays-Saturdays. Starts: June 17. Continues through July 10, 2009
