Released: May 01st, 1998
Running Time: 85
Company: Midnight Video
Cast: Christian Todd, Kate (I), Mike Horner, Timber, Sadie Sexton, Bobbi Bliss, Liza Harper
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
There's always room for fresh talent at the Guys 'N' Dolls nude modeling agency, and Sadie Sexton's hoping to take vag-of-the-month honors. A terrific mish with Christian Todd helps her pass the initial audition, though she's quick to learn that the industry's not all flower-scented douche.
Her introduction to the biz sours when she shows up for an amateur shoot and Mike Horner won't let her participate in his truly inspired performance; he chews and slobbers over Timber's pretty butt as if he were a starved cat and her cheeks were smeared with Fancy Feast. Liza Harper nearly brains Michael Hurt with her Lucite platform heels as she abandons herself to his muff-munching expertise, teaching Sadie how to infuse a doggie-anal with sincerity.
It's refreshingly natural brunette Bobbi Bliss who finally completes Sadie's initiation in a tryst that would do Betty Dodson proud; she proffers a flashlight-tipped toy and lets Sadie explore every crevice in minute detail. An appealing and stockable sex-with-story combo.

^-^ They never stop being adorable!
This is the cutest Sugarless Gum has ever been.
i agree, what program did you use? looks like sai with the binary tool ouo
I never used Sai, I use Photoshop for everything. (Except for Sister Claire style, I use Illustrator for the linart on that.)
I love it <3 _ <3
most adorable winter pic ever! ^ 3 ^
Aw, I like how you posed them together.
Now I want Marceline's scarf for Christmas.
Now I want Marceline's scarf for Christmas.

I love this so much so christmassy and cuteeeee
Wonderful artwork
You make me want to cosplay winter!peebles soo badly... ._.
Doooo iiiit! <3
Damn I've been seeing so much Bubbline lately!
But I must say this is the cutest pic I've ever seen, and I have to admit the pink makes this couple even cuter. ♥
But I must say this is the cutest pic I've ever seen, and I have to admit the pink makes this couple even cuter. ♥
daw. <3
This pink is beautiful! (Sorry, I have a crazy obsession with Pink.) I love the art as well!
I used this picture to explain to my homophobic friend why they'd be cute together, and showed her some of your SFW art, and now she's all for Bubblegum and Marceline.
This what?
Aww yisss!!
this is really cute and i love the art style
nice work
nice work
It's so outstanding, I can't describe it But its so pink and cozy!!
Oh so very cute!~ I love it!
This is really pretty. Nice work!
Don't stop.
Not a problem. Draw them foreverrrrrrrr
THEY ARE THE CUTEST. Never stop. :'D
Sorry, i really need to Twitter..or twit...or tweet. Anyway, This was pretty cute considering the Marceline(Maramlade heh, I just can't get over that, great!) expression compared with the Peebles expression. And once more, question, I saw your MOCHI drawings and I wonder, what does Marceline do to get Bubblegum to become a wild child in the bed if she's so submissive even during kisses?
The cuteness of this is overwhelming. And you want to know how good they are as a couple? I don't know squat about the show and don't care to watch it...but they may be my favorite fictional couple of all time. And you are one of my favorite artists that draws them. <3
There are Ushankas. And now we have a... Marshanka?

Description: A pair of murderers cover up their crimes via the archaic working conditions of coal mining in China in this award-winning psychological drama from director Li Yang. Blind Shaft centers on two men who have a grisly scheme: They persuade their victims to work in a local mine, plot their accidental deaths, then pose as the relatives of the dead men to collect their meager compensation. But when one of the killers starts to feel sympathy for their next victim, an ambitious young man, he listens to his conscience instead of his amoral co-conspirator. Blind Shaft won the Silver Bear at the 2003 Berlin Film Festival.~ Michael Hastings, All Movie Guide

I'm running VirtualBox inside Ubuntu 13.10 and having issues with USB connection stability. Guest operating system is Debian 7.0 and the USB device I'm trying to work with is a ACS USB card reader (ACR38T to be exact). I've installed VirtualBox extensions, enabled USB 2.0 and created appropriate filters for the device. When I plug the device, the reader is recognized by the guest and opensc-tool -l gives the reader. Card presence is also detected. When I run any command that talks with the smart card, command times out and card connectivity is lost.
After this, I can list the card reader but card cannot be detected. I've tried with another readers with different cards and issue persists.
Can anyone with experience in this matter help me?

6. Roberto Clemente & The Pittsburgh Pirates
Over time, perceptions changed. Clemente never had to win over anyone because of his ability, but he became a household name through his play. And his humanitarian spirit made him a legend, as Clemente died bringing aid to earthquake victims in Central America.
It may have been tough to find a bond between Clemente and the Pirates fans of the '60s, but there's plenty of love for him after his death. Statues, bridges, parks, schools and stadiums bear his name.

Major hurricane tracks to New Orleans on eve of Republican Convention?
That headline is lifted from Drudge. Needless to say, he left out "… and on the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, where both Bush and McCain were AWOL" (see TP's "As Katrina hit, McCain celebrated 69th birthday with Bush").
Track the storm with the National Hurricane Center here. Best hurricane blog here.
Readers of this blog know that my brother lost his home in Katrina three years ago, which is probably the main reason I began this blog in the first place (see "100 Katrinas and the Launch of Climate Progress").
Let's all hope that long-suffering New Orleans does not get hit again and that no major hurricane makes landfall. That said, perhaps many more lives can be saved if the nation is reminded how incompetent the conservatives are at managing government — how they failed to protect our citizens, how they didn't bring leadership to rebuilding the city, and how they still haven't built levees strong enough to protect the city from a major hurricane.
The other reason Gustav may make headlines is that on the current storm track we may see a Category Three storm or larger hit the Gulf oilfields, a fact that has already begun to impact oil prices:
U.S. crude oil futures rose as high as $117.89 a barrel earlier on Tuesday and settled up $1.16 at $116.27. Gasoline RBU8 gained 9 cents in trade on Tuesday.
"There's the possibility of a Category 3 to Category 5 hurricane in the Gulf on Sunday … that's what has everyone's attention right now. If we get a major hurricane in the Gulf there's going to be a lot more short covering," said Commercial Brokerage Corp's Ed Kennedy….
"All of the oil platforms off Texas and Louisiana will probably be at risk, but that's real long-range," AccuWeather senior meteorologist Eric Wilhelm said in a telephone interview….
"The entire Gulf energy infrastructure is now threatened," wrote Jim Rouiller of forecaster Planalytics, who said two major hurricane forecasting models predicted the storm making landfall somewhere between Houston and New Orleans, which is home to nearly half of U.S. oil refining capacity.
That potentially means yet another major news story — oil spills. And while obviously nobody wishes for that, if the worst were to happen, it might at least make it harder for the GOP to keep lying about what happened three years ago (see "McCain Falsely Claims Katrina And Rita Did Not Cause Significant Oil Spillage").
8 Responses to Major hurricane tracks to New Orleans on eve of Republican Convention?
I second Joe's recommendation for the weather blog he linked to at the top of this post. The Wunder Blog, in talking about Gustav's chances for strengthening, mentions something called a "loop current eddy". There's one of these in the Gulf now, which is very disturbing, as a similar phenomenon helped blow up Katrina and Rita into category 5 storms in 2005.
I remember before the 1992 Republican convention, there was a hurricane that was heading for Houston where the convention was. The hurricane moved off to somewhere else, but it interupted the news cycles and discussions enough that the Republican smear machine got untracked for a little while and it made the first President Bush to look unlucky.
On a side (and comical) note, it looks like something backfired.
SciGuy is also a very good site for hurricane watchers.
Let me try to humanize this story a bit:
Having personally seen the destruction and response of the US gov't after Katrina (I worked with AmeriCorps*NCCC during the first first wave of disaster relief in Fall, 2005, then again in 2006 for reconstruction), I am very worried for the people there. The sheer destruction of the hurricanes itself, not just the flooding in New Orleans, is phenomenal. For instance, in Pass Christian, only six (yes, six) houses were not destroyed in a town of 6,500. The destruction to the local businesses were staggering (anything from shrimping to casino barges). Those FEMA trailers are not designed to withstand a Hurricane of category 3-5 magnitude.
I guess, this time, we'll be lucky as the majority of New Orleans and Mississippi coast residents have yet to return to their homes, lowering any potential damage/loss of lives. I just hope the local governments are taking precaution, setting up emergency relief plans, evacuation plans, etc. One would assume that they have such plans in order since 2005…
I agree with you Joe- how many more of these hurricanes can the Gulf take?
I hope they don't get a direct hit that rivals Katrina and Rita.
Although a major hurricane landfall on the gulf coast in the near future is a very real danger, we should keep in mind these words:
… there is very little…if any…skill in
intensity predictions at these extended ranges. indeed…if one
looks at the latest wind speed probability product included in this
package…it can be seen that there is nearly an equal chance that
gustav will be a category 1…category 2…or category 3 hurricane
at the end of the forecast period.
(Conversion to lowercase mine.)
The mentioned windspeed product here .
Certainly, present forecasts for Gustav should be seen as a reminder of how sorely the protection of New Orleans and much of the gulf coast has been neglected, how severely the Bush regime has crippled FEMA, and how a major hurricane landfall on any given gulf coast city is inevitable in the long run. As to the FEMA trailers – I doubt those will fare well in a cat 2 hurricane, much less a 3.
If a major hurricane landfall does occur, the reaction to it by the candidates and the fed could well decide the election. Such an event seems more likely to favor Obama than McCain, especially if New Orleans is affected, or, as Joe points out, oil spills result, but it's not at all guaranteed to help Obama, and I hope his people are preparing.
Finally I hope everyone in the Caribbean and the Gulf is prepared, and emerges unhurt (but many people in Hati have already died).
All of the oil platforms off Texas and Louisiana will probably be at risk, but that's real long-range," AccuWeather senior meteorologist Eric Wilhelm said in a telephone interview…

I have installed virtual pc to run XP inside of windows 7 professional. When I run "dxdiag" and go to the display tab on 7 I can see my graphics card details (ATI Radeon etc) but when I run it in the XP mode it says N/A and doesn't support anything that my graphics card does such as directdraw, direct3d etc.
Is there a way to get XP to run off my graphics card as I have a game I want to play that only runs in XP and requires direct3d (or maybe some other software?).

Slouchy hats with pompoms are big this season. They look the best in color transitioning or variegated yarns with long transitions of color.
This hat has an unusual construction for a crochet hat because It's worked from the bottom up, where as most hats worked from the top down.
It's a simple hat suitable for beginner, but will entertain advanced crocheters as well. The edging is worked in front post and back post double crochet, and the body of the hat is worked in crochet seed stitch.

We came on a family trip of 5 to spend Christmas in Paris, my parents chose the hotel and of course had high expectations of it. Sadly the first night was a complete disaster, we get to the hotel at around midnight and we had 3 rooms booked (one single occupancy), We were on the 4th floor for 2 rooms and 2nd floor for the single occupancy room. Our rooms on the 4th floor were far from what we had expected and what we had seen in the pictures. Paint peeling off the walls, a huge crack on the wall where it appeared rain came through and tiny room enough to just get through from one side to the other of the bed. Bathroom was fine even had a nice shower. Anyways we managed to sleep through the night alright and in the morning went and complained about the rooms to the actual manager. This was sorted out very quickly he apologized and gave us all rooms on the second floor. We went out for the day and in the evening we all went into our new rooms on the second floor and what a difference, i could not say anything bad about our room or my parents room, this is what we had expected. I have to thank once again the manager of the hotel for reacting so quickly to our needs.
After that the stay was very pleasant, the reception and staff very helpful and the location is perfect, just a few minutes from everywhere. They even had a nice gesture for us on our last morning and gave us a free breakfast, the breakfast was very good and pretty much in the same price line as you would find down the street from the hotel. All in all a good experience but would consider contacting the hotel directly for booking as then you can let them know you would like a room on the second floor.
Also if you are the sort of person looking for a modern hotel, this is not for you.

Second-order epi-derivatives of integral functionals

Epi-derivatives have many applications in optimization as approached through nonsmooth analysis. In particular, second-order epi-derivatives can be used to obtain optimality conditions and carry out sensitivity analysis. Therefore the existence of second-order epi-derivatives for various classes of functions is a topic of considerable interest. A broad class of composite functions on ℝ n called 'fully amenable' functions (which include general penalty functions composed withC 2 mappings, possibly under a constraint qualification) are now known to be twice epi-differentiable. Integral functionals appear widely in problems in infinite-dimensional optimization, yet to date, only integral functionals defined by convex integrands have been shown to be twice epi-differentiable, provided that the integrands are twice epi-differentiable. Here it is shown that integral functionals are twice epi-differentiable even without convexity, provided only that their defining integrands are twice epi-differentiable and satisfy a uniform lower boundedness condition. In particular, integral functionals defined by fully amenable integrands are twice epi-differentiable under mild conditions on the behavior of the integrands.

Beyonce's surprise iTunes album release ignites internet, social media firestormBy Mesfin Fekadu | The Associated Press
Published: Friday, December 13, 2013 at 11:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 13, 2013 at 11:26 a.m.
NEW YORK (AP) — Beyonce has released her new album in an unconventional way: She announced and dropped it on the same day.
The singer released "Beyonce" exclusively on iTunes early Friday. She mirrors how Jay Z released "Magna Carta Holy Grail" earlier this year — through a deal with Samsung where he gave the album to 1 million users of Galaxy mobile phones days before its official release.
Beyonce's fifth effort features 14 songs and 17 videos. Jay Z, Drake and Frank Ocean make guest appearances on the album, while the closing track, "Blue," features her daughter Blue Ivy. Justin Timberlake co-wrote the songs "Rocket" and "Partition," and Pharrell, Timbaland, Ryan Tedder, Miguel and Sia also co-wrote tracks.
The album caused a stir on social media websites, with fans posting about the release early Friday morning. Twitter said early data shows mentions of Beyonce spiked by 500,000-plus tweets after she announced the album. Diddy, Alicia Keys and Demi Lovato were among the celebrities tweeting about the topic.
Billboard said Friday that "Beyonce" will likely debut on top of its charts next week.
"Our early numbers are showing that this is likely heading toward a No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 albums chart with only three days of the tracking week," said Bill Werde, the editor of Billboard. Billboard closes the tracking week on Sundays, and typical albums are released on Monday or Tuesday.
On Friday afternoon, the explicit and clean versions of "Beyonce" ranked No. 1 and No. 2 on the iTunes albums chart.
Along with Beyonce and Jay Z, other leaders in pop music have released albums in new ways recently: For her "Red" album last year, Taylor Swift had partnerships with Target, Walgreens and Papa John's; and Lady Gaga sold 440,000 copies of her "Born This Way" album on Amazon for just 99 cents when it was on sale for two days in 2011, helping the album sell 1.1 million in its debut week.
Werde said Beyonce's way of releasing the album "speaks to the change in the music business."
"I think on one hand what it really speaks to is the emerging power that artists have to go direct to fans," he said. "One of the things that's most impressive about this Beyonce release is she's controlling the conversation around it to a certain extent. She's controlling the initial experience that fans are having, so it's not about what critics are saying, it's not about, 'Here's what the album means' and explaining it, it's about, 'Hey, I put my art together for you, videos, songs, and you get to have the joy and experience of forming your own opinion on the work as I intended to be presented.'"
Beyonce calls the work a "visual album" and she filmed some of the videos in Paris, New York, Sydney, Rio de Janeiro and Houston, her hometown.
"I didn't want to release my music the way I've done it," she said in a statement. "I am bored with that. I feel like I am able to speak directly to my fans. There's so much that gets between the music, the artist and the fans. I felt like I didn't want anybody to give the message when my record is coming out. I just want this to come out when it's ready and from me to my fans."
Beyonce's last album was "4," released in 2011. It reached platinum success. "Beyonce" will be available in stores "in time for the holidays," her representative said.

A father and son were wounded Monday after a gunman walked into a Dallas financial office and opened fire, police said.
The gunman, who later got into a shootout with police, also was in critical condition after shooting himself, said Dallas police spokesman, Sr. Cpl. Lt. Kevin Janse.
The shootings happened just before 11 a.m. in the 15-story Four Forest high-rise office building, which houses the United Texas Bank and other businesses near the intersection of U.S. 75 and Interstate 635.
The gunman walked into a financial services office on the third floor and opened fire on the father and his son, who apparently had an ongoing dispute with the suspect, Janse said.
After three police officers arrived on the scene, the man came out of the office and pointed his gun at them, Janse said. Police fired several shots without hitting him, and the man went back into the office where he shot himself, he said. He was in critical condition at the nearby Medical City Dallas hospital.
The 63-year-old man was shot in the legs and his 39-year-old son was shot in the neck, and both were in stable condition at Medical City Dallas, Janse said.
During the shootings, the building was on lockdown and about 16 people took refuge in the vaults in the bank on the building's first floor.
"The building has announced we should stay in here until they let us know otherwise," bank employee Linda Farley told WFAA-TV of Dallas and Fort Worth by telephone from the vault. "Everybody is a little scared."
Police did not immediately release more information including the identities of the alleged gunman and the father and son.

Community boards across the borough are crossing their fingers and hoping for the best this week now that Mayor Michael Bloomberg has announced the members of the new Charter Revision Commission.
Four Brooklynites, including Borough President Marty Markowitz's Chief of Staff Carlo Scissura, number among the commission's fifteen members.
"Carlo comes from the community board and understands - he knows exactly what we do," Community Board 11 District Manager Marnee Elias-Pavia told this newspaper.
Prior to becoming Markowitz's chief of staff, Scissura served as a member of Community Board 11 in Bensonhurst, as well as vice-president of Community School Board 20.
The newly assembled Charter Revision Commission is expected to convene for the first time within the next two weeks to hammer out its agenda.
Public hearings in each of the five borough will follow soon after.
Officials say it's still too early to determine the direction this Charter Revision Commission will take, but the group's recommendations could impact the future of the public advocate, borough presidents and community boards.
"We have [former] community board members serving on [the commission] so hopefully that will bode well for us," Community Board 6 District Manager Craig Hammerman said.
Their budgets already slashed to the bone, some fear that the mayor will try and use this opportunity to curtail the influence of community boards or even eliminate them.
"There's going to be a fight on our hands," warned Theresa Scavo, chairperson of Board 15 in Manhattan Beach.
Commenting on land use issues as part of the official Uniform Land Use Review Procedure remains one of the most vital roles that community boards perform.
Their role is only advisory, but without it, many believe communities would have even less of a voice ingovernment than they do now.
"Carlo Scissura understands community boards and we expect him to be very supportive of community board issues going down the road," said Alvin Berk, chairperson of Community Board 14 in Midwood.
Scissura said this week that he is going into the Charter Revision Commission process with and open mind and an ear for what people are saying.
"I have never heard from the mayor's office that they want to strip land use [from community boards]," Scissura said. "Community boards play a very valuable role in the ULURP process."
The other Brooklynites serving on the new Charter Revision Commission include John H. Banks, vice president for Government Relations at Con Edison.Anthony Crowell, counsel to the mayor and David Chen, executive director of the Chinese-American Planning Council, Inc.
Dr. Matthew Goldstein, chancellor of the City University of New York, is chairing the commission.
"If they take land use away from us who's going to be responsible," Scavo said. "Where would you have the public hearing? People are not going to travel to the city."
The commission's recommendations could appear on the ballot in November.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The full membership of the United Nations has suspended Libya from the U.N. Human Rights Council.
The U.N. General Assembly voted by consensus Tuesday on the council's recommendation to suspend Libya's rights of council membership for committing "gross and systematic violations of human rights."
It is also expressing "deep concern" about the human rights situation in Libya.

Close NFL Rookie Watch 0 0 More 0 0 0 View Gallery Next Previous Next Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images A.J. Hawk Last week: unranked

The No. 5 overall pick is starting to get it for the Packers. Although the defense is still very questionable, Hawk is making plays. He had his first sack against the Lions last week and has 24 tackles this year. 1|10 Jed Jacobsohn/Getty Images Manny Lawson Last week: No. 3

He didn't do much last Sunday against the Eagles but still earned NFL Rookie of the Week. He'll continue to get to opposing quarterbacks throughout the season. 2|10 AP Cortland Finnegan Last week: unranked

His tackle of Daunte Culpepper was changed to a sack, which ties him for the lead among rookies with two. Not bad for a seventh-round pick out of Samford. Finnegan had a huge sack of Chad Pennington that almost helped the Titans catch up to the Jets in Week 1, and he's earning more and more playing time. 3|10 Jerry Lai/US PRESSWIRE Ernie Sims Last week: No. 8

He ranks 11th in the league with 27 tackles and is one of the few bright spots in a dismal Lions season. 4|10 Rick Stewart/Getty Images Laurence Maroney Last week: No. 2

He was totally stuffed in the running game last week against the Broncos but did catch five passes for 61 yards. The Patriots fell in love with him early in offseason workouts because of his ability to catch the ball, and that skill should keep him on the field all season. 5|10 Brian Spurlock/US PRESSWIRE Demeco Ryans Last week: No. 4

The Texans' defense is struggling, but Ryans continues to produce. He's third in the NFL with 30 tackles, 26 of them solos. 6|10 Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images Greg Jennings Last week: unranked

Jennings' 75-yard touchdown reception keyed a 31-24 Packers win over the Lions last week. With defenses concentrating on Donald Driver, Jennings has drawn single coverage and become a dangerous weapon for Brett Favre. 7|10 Bob Rosato/SI Marques Colston Last week: No. 6

When you watch Colston play, it's hard to figure how he lasted until the sixth round, other than the fact that he went to Hofstra. He caught seven balls for 97 yards last Monday night against the Falcons and is already an expert at using his 6-foot-4 frame to box out smaller defenders. 8|10 David E. Klutho/SI Maurice Jones-Drew Last week: unranked

Jones-Drew broke out with a 13-carry, 103-yard performance against the Colts last week, and he ranks sixth in the NFL with a 26.0-yard kick-return average. Look for the Jaguars to make the 5-foot-7 spark plug a big part of their offense the rest of the season. 9|10 Bob Rosato/SI Reggie Bush Last week: No. 1

Bush has been slow and steady for the Saints, which is just fine as long as they keep winning. For the most part, he looked decisive in running for 53 yards on 13 carries Monday night in New Orleans' huge win over Atlanta. 10|10 Next up The Pirates' 27-10 loss to No. 4 West Virginia didn't dampen the spirit of these East Carolina fans during Saturday's game at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium in Greenville, NC. 14 College Superfans - Week 4 September 28, 2006 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More Recommended Galleries

◎ Comparing Arista and Brocade VXLAN VTEP Hardware Termination
Arista has announced the 7150S device. It's low latency, 10 Gigabit and VXLAN terminating. What's interesting to me is that Brocade and Arista are solving the same problem in different ways. Ivan has determined that Arista have decided to use the Intel chipset (I'm guessing the SM6000?) and then enable the tunnel termination features in the software.
What is the Definition of a Switch Fabric ?
The marketing people in IT tend to be overwhelmed by complexity and deep technology. For many liberal arts graduates, they take the drowning option and latch onto certain terms and then grossly abuse it. The most egregious abuse today is "cloud" but "fabric" comes a close second. In this series of posts I want to look at what is a FABRIC and provide a canonical look at what it does and how it works for us.
Review: HP and Optical Backplanes
There were a lot of cool things at InterOp, but not much that was new from the big vendors. For example, Cisco didn't announce anything, probably waiting announce at Cisco Live in July where they can control the press and message much more tightly. However, HP announced the A10500 switch (action pictures ) which is a new campus switch and Gnodal arrived with new products.
However in the centre of the HP stand there was something very cool – a prototype E8212 ProCurve switch with a fully optical backplane.

Place is quiet and nice. It is superior place to spend some days with dog since there is an open space in front of cottage.
There are two super markets down the hill(mountain?) which is just enough to
have everything you need.
One thing you need to be careful is that this entitiy does not have WIFI connection. If you really want to connect to internet, you need to prepare by yourself.
Apartment was lovely - clean and well-stocked. Beds were comfortable and main bedroom was roomy. Restaurants and hiking trails close by.
Great place to stay during Alp days in Swiss. Charming apartment in a wonderful village with all comfort and home tools. Besides, Patricia the owner is really helpful and make you feel like home. I would recommend this apartment to any traveller.
This apartment is very well designed and the owner was very friendly. We spend a very good time in Brugge. I will recommend this apartment. But we had a problem with Wimdu because they gave us a wrong telephone and address and we couldn´t contact with the owner and Windu. Finally we could contact with Interhom and they gave me the right telephone and address. It was a very stressful situation.
We stayed in the appartment during Christmas.The appartment itself is fabulous and located in a wonderful, but quite village. All rooms, big kitchen, furniture and facilities were well taken care of. A practical space for a family, like ours with two young children. Forests for walking is near. Shops and cities are further away. A good option is to drive to the closest train station to catch one of the trains that take you through the whole country, with its nice towns and to Luxemburg city for just 4euro a day, children under 12 yrs travel free. Food and wine in Luxemburg are nice, so we enjoyed Christmas very much.
The place was very clean and big. It had a nice garden that we could use whenever we wanted, which is great if you go with kids. The only problem was that it said the beach was 400m away, which is true but it was 400m of steps, which is a problem when you are coming back and have to go up (with kids, baby and a lot of stuff).
Apart from that, everything was great.
Nice apartment as advertised
Very nice accommodation
Fantastic views - just like in the pictures.
Would go back anytime!
Located in central Supetar with walking distance to beaches and the ferry, this accommodation is a perfect hub for a Brac vacation.
The view from the terrace is scenic with a clear view of Split from the other side of the strait. The beds are comfortable and not as hard as a lot of beds are in these kind of accomodations. The kitchen, though small, works well to cook in. We cooked one meal a day here for almost two weeks without getting swamped. The host is nice and very helpful and sometimes unexpectedly gave us treats such as fresh lemonade or home baked cookies. We traveled with a 1 1\2 year old, which worked really well here, she had a crib of her own and loved both the host and the house cat!

small but powerful
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
These are small 3" diameter speakers. They were chosen for the aesthetics of their small size. They are the same size as the recessed can lights in this renovation. For their size, they do a good job of providing background music. Not a lot of bass but not bad,
Pros: small size, good tone
Cons: not a lot of bass

Books Reading Tonight
posted by April 10 at 10:23 AMon
Aside from the Slog Happy Hour in the downstairs VIP Room at Moe Bar, there are a ton of things to do tonight.
First, and probably best, Sloane Crosley, who read last night at Third Place Books, is reading from her debut essay collection, I Was Told There'd Be Cake, at Elliott Bay Book Company. This is your last chance to see her on this publicity tour go-round. She's one of the funniest essayists working today (What sold me on the book was the blurb on the back from Colson Whitehead, who makes me swoon). She manages to write about some pretty thoroughly trod ground (weddings, having a funny name, moving to a new apartment) in some really hilarious ways.
Before Sloane Crosley's reading at Elliott Bay is Gary Moore, with Playing With the Enemy. This is about someone who could've been the greatest catcher of all time, but he fights in World War II and gets captured by the Germans and so he teaches the Nazis to play baseball. This could also be a hilarious reading, but in more of an unintentional sort of way.
Up at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park, which our calendar lists as being "Out of Town," Maureen Elegna is reading from Seattle Architecture, which is a book of architecture tours of Seattle, which is decidedly not out of town.
At the University Bookstore, Peter Hamilton will be reading from his new sci-fi novel The Dreaming Void, which is about a black hole, and whether or not it contains a miniature universe. Hopefully, there will be at least one reference to Sartre.
Up at Open Books, Rick Barot reads from his second collection of poems, Want, and at Town Hall, John Medina reads from Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School, which is about brain-friendly ways to raise your children, which inspires me to remind you that Sloane Crosley is reading at 8 pm, and that would probably be a much better way to spend your time.
Check out the full readings calendar for more information about all of these readings and also literature events for the next week or so.
Also, if you haven't already, you should check out the pimped-up books page, which has a ton more reviews and a mini-blog revue of the last week's books-themed Slog posts.

Cellar Girl (Paperback)Josefina Rivera
Paperback Published: 30/01/2014
- Can be ordered from our supplier
'I stood there for a moment, silently speaking to myself: Josefina, you will survive this. You are strong. You are a fighter. You adapt.' As a young mum-of-three, Josefina Rivera was determined to get her troubled life back on track. But then she met Gary Heidnik and the next four months became a living nightmare. Along with five women Josefina was held captive in a cellar where she was starved, beaten, and repeatedly raped to fulfil Heidnik's desire of creating a 'family' of ten children. Cellar Girl is the shocking but ultimately inspiring story of how one brave, young woman saved herself and others from a life worse than hell.

Sir Ranulph Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes, six foot four tall, fiendishly handsome, usually described as "the world's greatest explorer", has struggled for decades with the perception that his adventuring owes more to eccentricity than the furtherance of knowledge.
Sir Ranulph disagrees. Everything he does, he says, has a sensible explanation and a practical value. Take the time his frostbitten fingers were playing up. When the medicine didn't work, he wandered into his woodshed, clamped his left hand into a vice, and trimmed the troublesome digits off with an electric saw. "Common sense," he explained later.
There were similarly sensible reasons for him to be at the top of Everest last week. First of all, he hadn't been there before. His previous attempt was abandoned when he had a heart attack 300 metres from the summit, and the one before that when he suffered vertigo on a narrow ledge in a snow storm. The failures served only to drive him on, as did the lure of the £3 million he was hoping to raise for charity, and the added distinction of becoming, at 65, the oldest Briton ever to reach the top.
But the real reason Sir Ranulph was standing on Everest with his dodgy ticker and terror of heights is that, whatever the attendant dangers, such exploits keep him alive. In his time, he has canoed up the Amazon, parachuted onto Norwegian glaciers, traversed both poles, auditioned (unsuccessfully) for the part of James Bond, discovered the Lost City of Ubar, and journeyed down the White Nile by hovercraft. But in the four decades he has been doing all this, the world has become a different place, and the big frustration for Ran and his ilk is the conspicuous shortage of adventurous new things to do.
Adventure has become a sport – even an entertainment. The deserts have all been crossed, so now people cross them while playing the trombone. There is almost nowhere left to explore, so explorers try to explore places differently – by balloon, bicycle or pogo stick. With each new twist, poor Sir Ranulph – the last of a noble breed, with his Etonian bearing, swamp-rotted toes and bite scars – is portrayed as a kind of exotic oddity.
Those close to him – including his late first wife, Ginny – have broadly taken the view that, while he may be bonkers, he is no eccentric. Anthony Clare, the psychologist, in a radio programme that attempted to explore Sir Ranulph's psyche, described his efforts as "like stirring a void with a teaspoon". The suggestion was that Fiennes's public journeys were a substitution for inner journeys, explorations of mind and soul, that he was unwilling to make.
Certainly, his life has been full of complications. Descended from a blameless family of minor aristocrats whose bloodline stretches back to the time of Charlemagne, Ranulph, the 3rd baronet, was born in 1944. His father, a dashing colonel in the Royal Scots Greys, was wounded in Africa before being transferred to Italy, where he died in the battle of Monte Cassino, four months before his son's birth. By macabre coincidence, the 2nd baronet's own father had been killed in almost identical circumstances in the First World War. The father and grandfather he never knew have been constant presences in his life. "Sometimes, on difficult expeditions," he has said, "I used to imagine that the two people I was most proud of, my dad and granddad, were actually there, watching. I didn't want to let them down, so it was a good, very good inspiration to keep going."
He moved, with his mother and three sisters, to South Africa, where as the only boy in the family, he slipped into what he considered a suitably masculine role. "I remember once coming into the kitchen," he says, "and seeing this gorgeous chocolate cake. I said to Mary, our black cook, 'Can I have the chocolate cake?' She said: 'I've been told you can't have the chocolate cake'. I knew where my mother kept her Browning pistol. I went upstairs, got it, came back down, cocked it, pointed it at Mary, and said: 'Mary, the chocolate cake'." In Africa he also acquired an appreciation of wild territory and wilder beasts, until he went to Eton aged 12.
It was a painful experience. Tall, tanned and unusually pretty, he was nicknamed "tart" by his schoolmates, had his bottom pinched and was blown kisses wherever he went. At one time, he says, he considered committing suicide by throwing himself into the Thames but, instead, decided to join the Army.
Failing to land a place at Sandhurst (it was now the Sixties, and he says he was "distracted by girls in miniskirts"), he joined the SAS, only to be thrown out eight years later for "misusing explosives". Disgraced and effectively unqualified, he pondered an unpromising future, until his childhood sweetheart, Virginia Pepper, whom he would later marry, suggested they make a journey down the Nile.
From this trip arose the idea of becoming a professional adventurer. He seized it with relish, poring over maps of the remoter parts of the world and studying the lives of the great explorers, especially that of his hero, Scott of the Antarctic. Six years ago, enraged by "ignorant revisionist historians", he published a powerful defence of Scott's leadership. "Most of those who attack Scott," he complained, "have never been anywhere colder than Glasgow on a February night. It's all part of the nasty modern habit of knocking our heroes."
This, says his friend and collaborator Dr Mike Stroud, speaks to Sir Ranulph's sense of loyalty and belief in the integrity that lies at the core of true adventure. "He never does anything that he doesn't honestly believe is going to do some good. I suppose he's grown hardened to the idea that he's some madcap aristocrat, born in the wrong era, but I've been all over the world with him and I can promise you he's a brave and serious man."
Six years ago – bizarrely, given his dicings with death in hostile places – he suffered a heart attack while boarding an EasyJet flight from Bristol to Edinburgh, and underwent double by-pass surgery. In 2004, Ginny died of stomach cancer at the age of 54, leaving Ranulph alone and bereft on their remote Exmoor farm. "I'd been married happily for 36 years," he said. "I had known her since she was nine and I was 12, and I'd been taking her out since she was 13. When she wasn't there, I desperately wanted not to succumb and vegetate, and there was a grave danger of that. I wanted something very sharp and very challenging, to try and snap out of it."
So began the charity work – mostly for heart and cancer causes – that now drives him on. He has since married again, to Louise Millington, a much younger horse trainer, and, to his bemusement, become a father for the first time. He knows his adventuring days are limited, but the lure stays strong. Asked last week if he'd be happy to die on Everest, he responded: "I wouldn't be happy to die anywhere. But being a coward, I'd like it to be quick and painless."

The Association Between Rate of Initial Weight Loss and Long-Term Success in Obesity Treatment: Does Slow and Steady Win the Race?

Controversy exists regarding the optimal rate of weight loss for long-term weight management success.
This study examined whether gradual initial weight loss was associated with greater long-term weight reduction than rapid initial loss.
Groups were drawn from participants in the TOURS trial, which included a sample of middle-aged (mean = 59.3 years) obese women (mean BMI = 36.8) who received a 6-month lifestyle intervention followed by a 1-year extended care program. Participants were encouraged to reduce caloric intake to achieve weight losses of 0.45 kg/week. Groups were categorized as "FAST" (≥0.68 kg/week, n = 69), "MODERATE" (≥0.23 and <0.68 kg/week, n = 104), and "SLOW" (<0.23 kg/week, n = 89) based on rate of weight loss during first month of treatment.
The FAST, MODERATE, and SLOW groups differed significantly in mean weight changes at 6 months (−13.5, −8.9, and −5.1 kg, respectively, ps < 0.001), and the FAST and SLOW groups differed significantly at 18 months (−10.9, −7.1, and −3.7 kg, respectively, ps < 0.001). No significant group differences were found in weight regain between 6 and 18 months (2.6, 1.8, and 1.3 kg, respectively, ps < 0.9). The FAST and MODERATE groups were 5.1 and 2.7 times more likely to achieve 10% weight losses at 18 months than the SLOW group.
Collectively, findings indicate both short- and long-term advantages to fast initial weight loss. Fast weight losers obtained greater weight reduction and long-term maintenance, and were not more susceptible to weight regain than gradual weight losers.

Rye graduates' journeys begin today
They are told 'kindness is the wisest thing we can do in our life'
RYE — As the Class of 2014's journey toward high school graduation ended Friday night, the graduates were told new journeys begin today.
"For some of us that may mean a college degree. For others it will be going directly into the workforce and others still may be called to a life in the military," Valedictorian Jacob Caughfield told his fellow graduates during commencement in the Rye High gymnasium.
"Whatever the destination, I know that each and every one of our journeys will be some of the very best," Caughfield said. "I know whatever paths we take for the rest of our lives, no matter what that may be, they will be truly outstanding."
Graduation speaker and local businessman Dave Feamster lauded the class of 53 students for its academic and athletic achievements, and the Rye teachers and staff for all they accomplish in and out of the classroom.
Feamster then reminded the students as they now go out into the world they will experience a sense of fear no matter what they plan to do, but if they remember to practice kindness, there will be many doors opened to them.
"Graduates your kindness, wherever you go, will open and close opportunities," he said. "People will see you reach out and being kind . . . and it will change your life. Kindness is the wisest thing we can do in our life."
Feamster said as they go out the door to a new phase in life, there will be many distractions but if they walk in kindness and with integrity, the journey will be exciting.
"Watch who you hang out with, bring your heart to the game and do the best you can."
Salutatorian Jessica Lauritzen offered a simple but meaningful message to her classmate.
Quoting from author and poet Henry David Thoreau, Lauritzen told her classmates, "The greatest adventure is to live the life you have always dreamed of."
"I challenge you to do just that — don't settle for less, go out and live the life you dream of."

If you have troubles since the update to WordPress 4.5 please read this post before opening a new thread.
One minute the option was there and the next minute, it was gone. I didn't do anything to the site or code either. I uploaded a pretty big image 5mb as the featured image to a post, saw it on there, looked perfectly fine but after deleting the featured image, now I can't get the option to show again. Now when I go to do a blog post, the featured image tab is completely gone. It just disappeared!
The topic 'Help! Featured image option gone and disappeared suddenly for blog post in admin' is closed to new replies.
