She was a symbol of wholesomeness in a decade that saw tumult and change. The most popular Mouseketeer on TV's "Mickey Mouse Club," Annette Funicello would go on to star in a string of beach party movies. She has died from the insidious disease of multiple sclerosis after a long battle. Funicello was 70.
The adorable brunette was just 13 when she gained fame on Walt Disney's television kiddie "club," a combination of stories, songs and dance routines that ran from 1955 to 1959. She appeared in mouse ears, a pleated skirt and a sweater emblazoned with her name.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - She passed away at Mercy Southwest Hospital (Now known as Dignity Health) in Bakersfield, California, of complications from multiple sclerosis, the Walt Disney Company said.
The adorable brunette was just 13 when she gained fame on Walt Disney's television kiddie "club," a combination of stories, songs and dance routines that ran from 1955 to 1959. She appeared in mouse ears, a pleated skirt and a sweater emblazoned with her name.
Born in 1942, in Utica, N.Y., Funicello's family moved to Los Angeles when she was four years old. She began taking dance lessons the following year and won a beauty contest at 9. She was discovered by Walt Disney in 1955, who she considered a second father and a trusted friend.
"I have been blessed to have a mentor like Walt Disney," she said 40 years later. "Those years were the happiest of my life. I felt that back then. I feel the same today."
When "The Mickey Mouse Club" ended, Funicello was the only club member to remain under contract to the studio. Appearing in such Disney movies as "Johnny Tremain," "The Shaggy Dog," "The Horsemasters," "Babes in Toyland," "The Misadventures of Merlin Jones," "The Monkey's Uncle," Funicello would later star in a series of "beach party" movies. Begun by American International Pictures, the films would paint a fantasy world of sun, surf and awful jokes.
"Beach Blanket Bingo," "Muscle Beach Party," "Bikini Beach," "Beach Blanket Bingo," "How to Stuff a Wild Bikini" and "Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine" kept drive-in audiences chuckling through the Sixties.
It was even here that Uncle Walt extended his influence. "Mr. Disney said to me one day, 'Annette, I have a favor to ask of you. I know all the girls are wearing bikinis, but you have an image to uphold. I would appreciate it if you would wear a one-piece suit.' I did, and I never regretted it."
With the arrival of the Beatles in 1964, coupled with Funicello's first marriage the following year pretty much ended the party.
She also became a recording star, singing on 15 albums and hit singles such as "Tall Paul" and "Pineapple Princess."
She and costar Frankie Avalon staged a reunion in 1987 with "Back to the Beach." It was during the filming that she noticed she had trouble walking, the first sign of MS. She went public with her ordeal in 1992.
"My equilibrium is no more; it's just progressively getting worse," she would say in TV special. "But I thank God I just didn't wake up one morning and not be able to walk. You learn to live with it. You learn to live with anything, you really do.
"I've always been religious. This just makes me appreciate the Lord even more because things could always be worse. I know he will see me through this."

Short review: This is a great all-around MILF site. Content is well produced, featuring a wide array of "styles" and big name stars. And even if you aren't totally thrilled with the original content, the abundance of bonus content provided with your membership should be more than enough to make up for that. At $29.95 a month, it's a thrifty MILF-lover's dream.
Content Amount: There's not as much content here as I'd like(just under 180 scenes) -- especially given the site's age; however, they make up for it with an immense amount of bonus content.
Content Quality: Great looking video -- 720p and 1080p HD. High-res photography as well.

Song Of The Day: Sparta's 'Chemical Feel,' first new music in six years
At the Drive-In keeping half the band busy, but not that busy
Sparta are working on a follow-up to 2006's "Threes," and new track "Chemical Feel" is the first evidence of production.
The sonic space-bound track is tough, and impeccably recorded, with crisp guitar lines funneled through pirstine pedals. Jim Ward sounds uuungggh, in the good way.
Tony Hajjar and frontman Jim Ward have been busy with a few dates back with reunited At The Drive-In, but hopefully not too busy. Because this sounds good, six years is too long.
Sparta have a few tour dates lined up, with more info at their website.

The Bomber Jacket: How to style menswear's transitional must-have
It's one of those timeless pieces that deliver real-world dressing without skimping on style. Lee Holmes discusses why the humble bomber jacket will be your trans-seasonal go-to
It's one of those timeless pieces that deliver real-world dressing without skimping on style. Lee Holmes discusses why the humble bomber jacket will be your trans-seasonal go-to
Statement placements or splattered all over, the motif is the big story of spring/summer menswear. Lee Holmes decodes some of fashion's favoured graphics
Holey moley! Men in lace is the surprise trend of the spring/summer 2016 shows. But it isn't just a catwalk fantasy: it's trickling onto sale rails and even the high street. Rebecca Gonsalves grapples with guys in guipure.
But Britain's capital has its own preconceptions to battle with
The season's dress code is to dress up. But to tie, or not to tie? To err on the side of cautious tradition, or to explore brave new sartorial terrain? Our fashion experts give their takes on the menswear debate
Forget standing out, for autumn/winter, designers are besotted with the idea of men fitting in
Fashion's all about evolution and revolution. Particularly in the pursuit of the new, and youthful. The Lanvin autumn/winter 2014 collection was both: at least, on paper. The styles referenced eighties new-wave, skinny models with partially-shaved hairstyles marching out in acid-bright varsity-jackets, skinny ties and giant trainers like characters from a Bret Easton Ellis novel.
The autumn/winter 2014 shows took in three cities across two weeks. For next season, designers' labours yielded a brave new vision for the modern male, argues Alexander Fury
It's a rebranding success story. At least, as far as retail goes
Patrick Grant-meets-Debenhams is a fashion love story. By Lee Holmes
Whether you opt for office-appropriate or the more casual, you'll want to button-up in these menswear-inspired shirts, writes Rebecca Gonsalves
Valentino's military theme and Haider Ackerman's opulence hit the Paris catwalks
The simmering tensions between the Savile Row establishment and the capital's youthful upstarts has suddenly come to the boil

It's not every day a letter arrives with 10 Downing Street stamped across the envelope, but just before Christmas that day came.

Generalizing by saying Diamond paid more or less than the market in an year to a grower is a not too relevant. Price is determined by a number of variables including variety, size, grade, shelling quality, etc.I bought more DMND today. This is a gift at 28.
If you want i will give you the phone number of a diamond walnut grower.
stock will be over 40 again no later than January.
So what do you do in the walnut industry that makes you think dmnd is a buy? Maybe I should buy. I am at grower level and have shorted this from the top after hearing from growers how much product was not going to dmnd from 2011 crop... Tonnage not delivered in my mind adds up to earnings that won't be there. I am up more than you could ever imagine...
Congrads on your gains. I catch falling knives for a living. When Diamond reported previous qtr's earnings on 9/15, the stock jumped 9 to 87. When the news about the mysterious $50M in payments was out on Sept 27, the stock was 82.What I see with many stocks is the exaggerated moves, due to hedge fund activity and heard mentality. I don't know the bottom of Diamond, but at 28 the risk-reward looks unbelievable. Any good news and I think this stock could go up 50% in a day or two - no joke. Yes, I am looking to buy March calls.

Beyonce and Jay-Z throwing Obama fundraising event
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama's re-election campaign is getting a boost from pop stars Beyonce and Jay-Z.
The superstar couple will hold a fundraiser with Obama on Tuesday at a swanky New York nightclub that Jay-Z owns.
Tickets are $40,000, but the campaign says a small donation lands a chance to win two tickets — airfare and hotel included.
Beyonce says in an email to Obama's supporters that she's a huge fan and will do whatever it takes to help him win a close race.
This isn't the first time the Obamas have teamed up with the A-list couple to promote each other's causes. Michelle Obama helped Beyonce with efforts to promote global humanitarianism, and the president appeared in a pre-recorded video earlier this month at a Jay-Z event in Philadelphia.

Lives in Auckland, New Zealand (Aotearoa)
Works as a Product Manager
Has a website at www.samwaldron.co.nz
Joined on May 25, 2006
About me:
I'm an amateur photographer who is fortunate enough to spend a decent amount of time in the field shooting.
My first love is landscape, although i'm really enjoying shooting more people, travel and the adventures it brings.
I am working towards dedicating two months a year to travel and landscape photography and while it is nice to subsidise part of the costs, I do it for the love.
Reasonably fair review, I'm coming from an S3 and have been impressed with the results from my Nexus 5 (shot almost exclusively in HDR+).
I've got a real camera for things I care about anyway though and looks like 4.4.1 just came out.
Still, the image quality on smartphones is getting really, really handy.
Francis Carver: Wow, an F5.6 lens and interlaced video. Oh well, thanks anyhow, Panny.
You could always chuck a 100gram 20mm pancake on it for a tiny F1.7 300gram combo....
Great camera by Nikon for landscapers on a budget - pretty hard to go past something like this.
If they had starting making cameras like this 18 months ago and I still shot mainly landscape I probably would never have gone mirrorless.
Hmmm... image samples look good but not really look much better than what I get out of my 190gram $129 Olympus 40-150mm.
Oh well, I don't shoot much tele anyway. Good to have options.
Interesting - X series would be much more interesting to me with 16-20mp Bayer sensor without AA and IBIS - the lens range is really developing nicely.
Loving the changes - I find its not perfect, but much better.
A few little bugs going on but I'm sure these will be ironed out shortly.
Jetranger_Pilot: As a long time pro customer, I am now looking to move elsewhere.
Not because of the new site mess, but because of their inability to respect and value their customers.
They brag about having a culture of sorcery, and they started sending demonic photos on every e-mail from their support people. I don't really care what they do on their own time, but when asked to stop sending their inappropriate photos, they laughed and refused. They seem to be unable to consider other people, or respect their values.
You don't just join their website - you become part of the culture of sorcery.
This is very unfortunate, as without that nonsense, the site has a lot of potential, and many good features.
If you are looking for a host that respects and values the customer ... this is not the place to be.
What?? You are talking about the fancy dress photos of their help team?
They are dressed as super heroes / comic book characters.
Is this a new kit lens? Looks tiny?
While this appears a bit short sighted, all it has personally done has made me ask the question - "Do I really need photoshop"?
The answer is not really, no - Lightroom is still available a perpetual licensed product and is great value.
If I need a little more PP, I'll buy Photoshop elements for next to nothing.
Even if these products go to a subscription model, they will be like $5 per month, meanwhile the competition will be innovating to gain market share.
Steven Brenner: Just wait, rental of cameras is next. Your camera will work for 6 months and then you will have to reauthorize its use for a fee. Either we rebel or we get %X*&#.
I would happily amortise camera payments if the hardware kept upgrading to the latest model!
I don't see the major issue with this, given the crazy cost (and consistently diminishing need by most casual photographers) of full blown Photoshop.
Presuming of course, you are all paying full price for the product.
From a professional photography and business perspective a subscription of $19 per month isn't a bad way to go, no?
Still looks pretty soft and mushy for an AA'less camera... Bit of a shame really, so much promise.
I'm done with DSLRs now but will admit this a fantastic camera!
Jonathan F/2: All these DN lenses are meant for an APS-C sensor. On M43, they're totally worthless.
I agree, of course M43 already have the stellar 60mm Macro, but the more the merrier!
wakaba: A.) take a camera that can hardly resolve 1200lpm
-slow AF
-no viewfinder
-supersmall sensor
-heavy incameraprocessing
-hardly enough battery power to run a "big" AF-lens
B.) stick an adapterring on
-that has additional glass in it
- lots of electric leads
-is generic to lenses
C.) stick an expensive lens on
-that can resolve 2000lpm
-is hardly compatible with the ring
...and get what exactly? Better pictures? DoA.
Enjoy living in the dark ages, the SLR was modern in the 1960's.
forpetessake: I'm quite skeptical that this gonna fly. One thing, I don't believe they will be able to preserve the image quality -- sometimes even simple protective filter significantly affects image quality, and here they added a lot of glass to lens' carefully crafted optical formula. Secondly, no fast autofocus means manual focus for all practical cases. But EF lenses have terrible manual focusing ring. Finally, EF lenses are too big and heavy to appeal to many people using NEX bodies. I have LA-EA2 adapter and A-mount lenses, and though there are no problems like here (focusing is fast and precise, image quality is not affected), yet I find even that setup to be too big and heavy and practically unusable with NEX body -- I would rather go with DSLR body if I wanted to use those lenses, it would be free from all the limitations and cost less too.
Check the white paper, it makes pretty compelling reading.
Includes MTF graphs for multiple lenses and formats, plus sample images. The idea adding elements detracts from IQ is due to teleconverters magnifying defects - this theoretically does the opposite.
Not all EF lenses (or full frame) lenses are large either... this will apply beyond EF glass, and no doubt at a lower cost when you look at the $400 Leica R to Fuji X adapter...
Adrian Harris: IF this works without degrading the image quality, what a fantastic way to get a new range coverage for my existing M4/3 lenses. the 45-200 will now be a 31-140 and faster. Plus the excellent 14-45 will become a 10-31. Nice having that extra wide end for scenery etc.
But how well will the adapter perform optically, that is the thousand dollar question and could be the deal breaker ?
OOpsi - just realised I got that all wrong - it won't work with the proper lenses for the system, what was I thinking of.
Sorry for expressing my dreams.
You need to start with a lens with a larger imaging circle... E.g. DX and FF lenses will work on M43 with the adapter, but not M43 / 43 lenses.
The white paper is really interesting, and well explained in laymans terms with images and illustrations.
Prime_Lens: Quite interesting.. but it is a total donkey doo doo.
I am sure it will make it stop faster.
More light concentration is more light concentration, after all.
Sharper? Revolutionary?
All they are doing is slapping in a piece of convex glass to an existing adapter.
And every time you add more layer of glass to the lens, the IQ goes down, and becomes more prone to internal flare and ghosting. Because it creates yet another glass surface for light to penetrate or bounce off of.
It's a fool's gold guys..
I think the fact it was designed by the guy who made the coastal Optics 60 and its $600 is more encouraging than if it cost $100...
We will see, essentially seems to be a way of getting 'FF' look from your FF lenses on APSC
Mssimo: FAQ
-What does it do: Makes image circle smaller to fit small sensors better. You can also call this a anti crop adapter.
-Will not work on any DSLR (only mirrorless cameras)
-Does it work: Yes
-Does it degrade image quality: No, it might make it a bit better (on small sensor) How is this possible? Same reason every picture looks good on a 4x6 vs Poster size
-Does it make my lens faster: It makes the image circle smaller so "more light" (think back to burning ants with a magnifying glass when you were a kid)
-Why has this not been done before? Mirrorless cameras have only been out for a few years.
-Has this been technology been used before? Yes, the Olympus 14-35mm F2 and 35-100mm F2 are in reality 24-70mm f2.8 and 70-200mm f2.8 lens but with a adapter "built in" and these are known as the finest and fastest zoom lenses of their kind. Also check out the world of telescopes.
Feel free to add to this list.
Very helpful, thanks.
This is quite the development, although comes at a time I guess when mirrorless platforms are fleshing out their lens line ups but still, really interesting.

Product Questions
what size rear end will these fit?
These will accept the 7.5, 8 and 9 inch rears.
Date published: 2016-07-21
My 65 has 5 Leafs .There is a definate lean to the left on my car. the bushings look tough. my question is this. could i go with the lsk1 (4 leaf stock) or do i need to go with the lsk4 (5 leaf) i usually have 2 adults and a small child in the car. thanks
I would recommend the LSK4.
Date published: 2016-01-05
Will these work on a 65 Falcon?
The vendor has not provided any information regarding cross-fitments of this part to any other model then what is listed.
Date published: 2015-11-30
are these equal to original equipment quality
The 4 leaf is equal to original, the 5 leaf will give a stiffer ride.
Date published: 2015-11-16
I'm looking at LSK1 and LSK4 (4 and 5 leaf kits). I want to make sure my '66 mustang convertible will sit the same as the original factory springs. Thank you for your feedback.
Both springs will give factory height, the 4 leaf will be more of a factory ride while the 5 leaf will be stiffer and better handling.
Date published: 2015-10-28
1964.5 ,170cu. inch, would this be a good leaf spring kit to buy?
Yes, this would work for you.
Date published: 2015-09-08
Will this 5 leaf spring give my '64 mustang convertible the standard height or will it raise it slightly, which is what I want. Also what quality of ride will it give?
Since your old springs are likely causing your Mustang to sag a bit in the rear, it will probably look raised in the back, but it'll be nearly stock ride height or a touch higher.
Date published: 2015-08-07
For shipping purposes, what is the "stated" weight of the spring kit?
It's 87.44 lbs.

Elderly dog attack victim released from hospital
PHOENIX — An elderly Phoenix woman was released from the hospital Tuesday, less than a week after being mauled by a pack of dogs.
Early last Wednesday morning, 72-year-old Elia Gutierrez was walking in Barrios Unidos Park near 16th and Mohave streets when she was attacked.
"She fought three times to stay standing and she continued to protect her face and neck," said Valine Paloma, Gutierrez's granddaughter.
Gutierrez was no match for the pack of dogs, who Paloma said seriously injured her.
"Bite marks on her arms, her back (and) her legs," she said. "Thank God she saved her face and her neck."
The situation looked bleak for Gutierrez as she was left to fend for herself, as no one else was in the park, said Paloma, until a Good Samaritan happened to pass by.
"I got a stick from the truck and batted them away expecting them to leave, but they didn't," Juan Figueroa said. "That's when they came toward me."
Figueroa said he feared for his safety and continued to fight the dogs until finally striking the largest of them in the head, at which point he said the others backed off.
Paloma, who was in Washington state at the time of the attack, said it was heartbreaking to hear what happened to her grandmother but is thankful she will recover.
Paola Pieri, a trauma surgeon with Maricopa Integrated Health System, said Gutierrez is expected to make a full recovery and will not need physical therapy or additional surgery.
Paloma said the incident has not damped her grandmother's spirit and Gutierrez was joking just days after the attack while still in the hospital.
"She told me, 'They (the dogs) messed up my Shakira body, but they didn't take my face,'" said Paloma.
Gutierrez still has a lot more recovery ahead of her and Paloma said Gutierrez will be living with her grandson, Antoine Chagnon, for the time being.
Donations to Elia Gutierrez can be made by visiting GoFundMe.com.

Hi, all
I am new to wordpress, and I use wordpress 2.0.2. .In the section "Before a comment display" of the menu "option --> discussion", there is an option "Comment author must fill out name and e-mail".
I can only check it(which means users should fill out both name and email) or uncheck it(which means users needn't fill out name or email). But I only want the "name" to be the mandatory field while email is optional. I find I have no way to do it. Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance!

During the IMTA convention he was going to be representing my son and the other students from his group as our director, and he was going to help him get in contact with agents and managers to get into the modeling and acting business. The training he provided was very disorganized and scattered. We had many changes in trainers. There was a lack of communication with the parents, and there were a number of times that we drove for an hour both ways only to find out that the class was canceled. Flight information (incomplete and without the necessary confirmation numbers/documentation) was provided only a few days before departure.
Upon arrival at the airport, he was supposed to have arranged transportation to the hotel, which was included in our payments to him. He did not arrange any transportation for us, he was not even in New York at all as he promised he would be! It appeared that no reservations were made for us at the hotel, we were not fully registered for the convention, nor were the convention fees paid. This was all supposed to be paid as part of the contract we signed. The photographs that were supposed to be submitted to the IMTA ahead of time were not there. And he was unreachable by phone. In short, he broke his promises to represent us during this convention as our director, he did not organize the team events well enough so that the people who signed up and paid for those competitions were not able to compete properly and were forced to drop out, and he did not pay the money to the third parties that we paid him. What does that look like to you? Make your own conclusions!

Gold Price Weakens After Sellers Take Over After Bullish Breakout Trap 0 commentsMar 17, 2014 8:36 AM
The gold rally has been on a screamer of a bull run, but we all know what goes up must come down at some stage. Now I am not staying this is the end of the uptrend, but the market does need to move down before it can move up again for the simple reasons markets don't move in straight lines.
Gold has really stretched out into extreme prices. We can tell this because there is a gap between the mean value (20 ema) and price itself. Generally the market can't maintain itself at these 'extended prices' because traders consider this price too expensive. Perfect for a mean reversion setup.
The gold market did breakout during today's asian session, which didn't last long as the breakout turned into a fakeout. Asia session fakeouts can give good insight in what to expect in the following London/Ny session. Due to the Asia breakout trap and the bearish price action we are seeing flow off this fakeout, there is a good chance gold is going to start weakening and retracing back to its mean value.Back To The ForexGuy's Instablog HomePage »

This painting shows an episode from the Spanish conquest of Peru in 1632. The Inca king, Atalhuellpa, is questioning Christian beliefs in front of the chaplain of the Spanish conquistador, Francisco Pizarro. A struggle ensued during which the king was captured and many Incas were slaughtered.
Briggs was one of the few consistently successful history painters of his generation. This picture was exhibited at the British Institution in 1827. Briggs had shown an earlier version of the subject at the Royal Academy the previous year, when it was highly praised, and bought by a friend of Turner's, William Wells of Redleaf.

The best thing about "Born Into Brothels" is that it allows the children to tell their story in their own words. Zana Briski's class of 8 photographers -who call her "Zana Auntie"- are children of prostitutes, born and raised among the harsh realities of Calcutta's Sonagachi red light district. There are 5 girls: Kochi, Tapasi, Shanti, Puja, and Suchitra, and 3 boys: Manik, Gour, and Avijit, ranging in age from 10 to 14 years, but mostly pre-teens. The documentary is dominated by interviews with the children and by their photographs, with occasional voiceover or footage of Zana Briski. The filmmakers are commendably respectful of the children and their decisions. These kids understand their situations very well and tend to be philosophical about it, yet many of them yearn for opportunities to escape life in the brothel. Interestingly, the kids are not fatherless children of single prostitutes, as I might have expected. Many of their mothers' are married and live with large extended families.Read more ›
We (i.e., The U.S.) don't often see the grittiest side of life. And when I say gritty, I MEAN gritty. The audience takes an emotional roller coaster ride with narrator and director Zana Brisky as she visits the red light district in Calcutta. Here she meets up with eight children who are the off-spring of prostitutes who "work the line", trying to make enough money to buy their next meal. The children seem doomed to a life of extreme poverty and, most likely for the girls, to also "work the line" when they reach the ripe old age of 14 or 15.
But Mrs. Brisky decides to teach the children how to shoot photographs of their surroundings (she gives each of them a simple point and shoot camera) and engages them in weekly classroom-like visits, showing them the photos they shot the previous days and telling them what they did right and wrong. The children are immediately smitten by the idea of becoming photographers, and they seem to be lifted out of their horrible surroundings, dreaming of becoming world-famous photo-journalists.
Throughout the film we see mostly the children, which I found to be extremely refreshing as far as documentaries go. Most documentaries (I feel) put too much emphasis on the documentary maker(s) and show shot after shot of them rather than the subjects their supposed to be telling the audience about. But not here. Only a fraction of the footage is dedicated to images of Mrs. Brisky, and those portions were vital to the film. Mrs.Read more ›
I think Ms Briski has her heart in the right place - she opens the minds of these underprivileged children to a world that they probably would never have given much thought to otherwise. Teaching them to take pictures made them 'see' another world outside their poverty-ridden neighborhood, to appreciate little accomplishments even in their deprived circumstances, and to dream of a better life.
That being said - though her efforts here are laudable, it is obvious through the course of the documentary and at the end, that 'rescuing' these children was never an easy task, nor something that had the guarantee of success. This doesn't diminish her efforts, but it does give us pause for thought - what could have been done to ensure these and other children in similar plight would be spared the fate awaiting them - a life of selling one's body for pittance, debasement, and a never-ending cycle of abuse and poverty. Education was promoted as the key to the childrens' futures here, but in reality all but two of the children chose to remain in the boarding schools that Ms Briski had painstakingly got them admitted into.
In reality, there are no easy answers. The documentary does a wonderful job of showing these children with their dreams of a brighter tomorrow.Read more ›

After some investigation, I bought this ASUS 660ti. It's really much quieter than EVGA.
For now, it's perfect to me.
Directx 11
Quality: high
Tessellation: normal
Antialiasing: x4
Resolution: 1080p
Results: The GTX 470 had a score of 644, while the GTX 660 Ti OC had a score of 1015.
The one weakness with the GTX 660 ti series in general is the bandwidth. As newer games come out, I suspect this will have the biggest impact on antialiasing, which will have to be lowered to maintain 60 fps.
I would also like to mention however, that the first GTX 660 Ti OC I received I had to RMA. The card never displayed an image. I knew the computer was starting up because I could hear it log into windows. I contacted Asus technical support, and they told me to try and RMA the card with Amazon first because it would be faster (and they were right). Amazon replaced the card with no questions asked. After completing the online form, Amazon sent out a new card immediately with 1 day shipping and gave me a month to send the old card back, free of charge. Very impressive service.
System Specs:
Cooler Master Elite 430

Get this card. Like now.
I am a silent PC nut--I have changed all PC case fans to quiet ones, down-voltaged most on top fo that, use a large CPU cooler, and have vibration foam on much of the inside of my case. The reviews indicated that this Asus with the dual fan drivers are amongst the quietest for the 660Ti and I can confirm that. However, at idle this card is slightly more noisy than my prior Powercolor PCS, which was noted as perhaps the quietest actively-cooled 5850. It's likely simply due to a difference in the sonic signatures of the fans, given both are spinning quite low, rather than the OC'ing on the Asus. Keep in mind my PC is especially quiet, and certainly during any activityh where you are using your speakers you won't hear this card.
The enclosed Asus utility (GPU Tweak) for controlling the video card is quite effective--the software lets you customize the OC speed and fan speed. Many video cards are not easily controlled with 3rd party software, so having this included is very useful.Read more ›

Yummy Earth Organic Pops
Ah, the last chapter in the Green Halloween series! More lollies.
Yummy Earth introduced their new organic candies at All Candy Expo back in June and I was immediately entranced. They're not just organic, they're also vegan and gluten free, so even the most sensitive folks can have a treat.
The lollipops come in four different flavors which gives you some variety but the one that intrigued me most was the Pomegranate Pucker. They're just getting into stores, so you may be seeing them at Whole Foods or other health food stores soon. I got some samples back in Chicago and promptly ate them, but I didn't want to do a review from memory so I popped the Yummy folks a note and they sent me this super-cute "Personal Bin" that holds 5.6 ounces & 30 assorted pops (and some other new candies that I'll share a review of in a few weeks).
Cheeky Lemon - very lemony, like someone threw a whole lemon in a blender and poured it over a stick. The whole lemon taste is here, from the juice to the rind. It's more of a grown-up lemon flavor than a kids one. The zest part of it gets really intense though never technically bitter, it gives me a kind of buzzy feeling on the inside of my lips after a while.
Pomegranate Pucker - dark and mysterious. It doesn't taste quite like pomegranate to me but has a complex berry flavor to it with some elements that reminded me of red wine. Smooth and tangy, it's quite different from other candy flavors and of course isn't as messy as eating a real pomegranate (oh, how many shirts have I ruined with pomegranate squirts).
Wet-Face Watermelon - sweet, tangy and with a nice floral melon scent that really tastes like watermelon without that bitter chemical aftertaste that I've been getting lately from artificially flavored candies. The color is like a watermelon sorbet.
Orange Squeeze - wonderful mix of zesty and tart, like eating a spoonful of concentrated orange juice.
Razzmatazz Berry (not pictured) - it's like a fruit punch, kind of raspberry, nicely tart and flavorful.
If you've got kids and want to give them little treats or are looking for something for your Halloween basket, this might be the thing. My only recommendation for children is to pick out the Lemon ones, They're great, I just think that kids aren't going to like them as much as the other flavors. You still might be able to order online before Halloween!

The Shame of Some "Healthy" Candy
Last night I watched The Secret Life Of ... on Food Newtork. The topic was Sweet and Sour and part of the episode featured the All Candy Expo in Chicago. Jim O'Connor covered Lemonheads (a special fave of mine), traced the development of America's Sour Tooth and of course toured the Expo floor.
Then part of the episode took a turn towards a product line called Too Tarts, made by Innovative Candy Concepts. This post is not a product review, because I absolutely refuse to eat the products on purpose. They're shamefully misrepresented.
The package I picked up at All Candy Expo was purely by accident. I was sitting in a seminar and they were in a bowl and both me and the other folks at my table idly grabbed a bag and dug in. I spit mine out and so did the fellow next to me. It was seriously foul - the chew was rubbery and the taste was instantly fake and had a strong aftertaste. The package says they're Real Fruit & Honey with NO REFINED SUGAR ... "up to 5 times more natural ingredients than any other fruit candy snack" ...blah, blah, blah. What they don't holler at you on the front is that there are TWO different artificial sweeteners in there ... Acesulfame Potassium and Sucralose.
Acesulfame Potassium is also known as AceK. It's 180 times sweeter than sugar and is not retained by the body. It's known for a bitter aftertaste so it's often used in conjunction with other sweeteners. In this case it's Sucralose (found in Splenda), which more than 500 times as sweet as sugar and is also not retained by the body. If you're curious about artificial sweeteners and their possible cancer causing/nerve damage potential, cruise around the 'net.
Now, you might wonder why I rage against artificial sweeteners. Yes, I have a bad reaction to aspartame, but I actually believe they have their place. However, their place is not in candies marketed for otherwise healthy children. Childhood is time of training our bodies to understand what we put into them and learning our satiety levels with different foods. Part of how our bodies and brains judge how many calories we're consuming has to do with how sweet they are. They've done studies and have shown that there may be some connection between diet sodas and obesity because the body is no longer able to judge properly how many calories it's taking in. If adults are messed up with this stuff, what will it do to kids who consume it from a young age? What's worse is these candies are making it look like they're sweetened with either honey or fruit juice. Sure, the package says "No Refined Sugar!" But it doesn't once mention the complex chemical compounds called 'sweeteners' they're putting in there except in the fine print of the ingredients.
There's no reason to give kids fake candy ... there are other options for sweet treats out there. Please read the packages carefully. I'm irritated that this candy exists and further irritated that Food Network gave them such a huge feature without ever mentioning the presence of artificial sweeteners in the candy.
If you're looking for some more wholesome candy that has real fruit in it, check out Florida's Natural line of candies (I liked the Sour Strings).

Sandy Candy
About a month ago I went off to visit another candy factory. This one is out in Covina, CA and is run by David Klein, inventor of the Jelly Belly jelly bean, so I know he's got an inventive mind. His current candy life involved a product called Sandy Candy.
Sandy Candy is like sand art, but it's made from candy powder (ala Pixy Stix). You can buy
kits and then pour the different candy powders into tubes and bottles, creating tasty, colorful layers.
While there on site he showed me some new products he's working on, which involved using large panning machines (they look like cement mixers). But of course the bulk of his operation is devoted to the Sandy Candy which is HUGELY popular with clubs and groups.
The kit comes with the candy powder in little bottles (like travel-sized shampoo). Just flip the top and tip them over to fill up the little tube. You can make your candy tube according to the flavors (which are marked on the bottoms) or by color (the bottles are milky-translucent, so the actual product is brighter in the tube). The powder itself is far smoother and finer than Pixy Stix which have always been a bit grainy.
Peach (peach)- a nice tangy tingle on the tongue and a good floral/fruity taste.
Tangerine (light orange)- come to mamma! Tart and citrusy with a little more zazz than a normal orange flavor. Goes well with most other flavors, which is a bonus.
Blue Raspberry (medium blue) - really nice. Tangy and floral and not as artificial tasting as it looked. And it's seriously, deeply blue.
Watermelon (pink) - a sweet flavor, it's fruity but has a very odd and very distinctive bitter aftertaste.
Banana (light yellow) - a sour banana, not just sweet. Good flavor but a little odd to have the tangy bite to it.
Root Beer (light brown) - I am in LOVE with this flavor. It's soft on the tongue but has a nice spicy mellow feeling to it. It doesn't mix well with most of the flavors.
Black Cherry (gray) - nice and tart with less medicine flavor and more of the lighter cherry notes. The color is not really black, but kind of a sparkly charcoal gray.
Pear (medium green) - tangier than I expected with only a slight hint of pear.
Green Apple (light green) - good and tart and with a strong artificial taste that I come to expect from green apple. A winner.
Wild Berry - (purply gray) - smells like cotton candy and tastes like strawberry and raspberry. Fruity and with a little tart zing.
Cotton Candy (light blue) - sweet and slightly tangy but with no other flavor. Not really cotton candy in my book.
Grape (medium purple) - very sweet and with a good fake grape flavor that one expects. Not tangy though.
Lemonade (medium yellow) - super tart but not much flavor. A winner.
Wild Cherry (medium red) - nice and tart with a good blast of cherry flavor. Not at all different from black cherry except for the color.
Fruit Punch (medium blue) - sour and floral with a very ordinary punch flavor going on.
Bubble Gum (blue/purple) - sour ... why is it sour? I should be sweet with a hint of cotton candy or strawberry or wintergreen in there.
Tart Apple (white) - pretty much green apple, but not green.
Cherry Cola (medium red) - definitely cola and definitely cherry. Blech. (Just not my thing)
Wild Berry (medium purple) - yes, berry! Sweet and tart and floral and really tasty. A winner.
Key Lime (light green) - lime with a slight soft flavor to it but still some tang.
Lemon Lime (light green) - lemon and lime, reminds me of Koolaid (and not in a bad way). A little tangy but with good flavor.
When you combine all of the above you'll find your tongue becomes and dark green/black color.
Phew! You might think that's all, but it's not. That's just what was in my two tower assortments. Other sweet flavors include: Sweet Cherry, Orange Creme, Sweet Vanilla Cola, Chery Creme, Sweet Fruit Punch, Sweet Lemonade, Cola Blue, Lime Creme & Strawberry. Personally I think the Banana and Cotton Candy flavors should be sweet, not tart, but who am I to argue?
Then there's more! Another line includes Candy Pebbles, which are kind of like Wonka Nerds, but a little smaller. They're about the size of sesame seeds with a good light crunch and zap of flavor. What's really cool about these isn't just that they can be used in the Sandy Candy Art, but that you can use them for other things. I think they'd be great as an actual flavored cupcake topper instead of lame plastic tasting jimmies.
Kits can be ordered with the mini bottles for home use or with big ketchup-sized bottles for large events. They look like a great fundraiser for a school fair or just an activity to do with kids where they get to eat what they create. The little 6 inch tubes that came with mine are a good amount of candy, about the size of five single Pixy Stix, so they're not going to get too amped up.
If you're someone who always wanted to order Pixy Stix by the pint, your search is over. I ate the whole Lemonade bottle while typing up this review. And part of the Root Beer ... hey, they're both drinks, aren't they?
If anyone out there has ever used these, please let me know how it went. It looks super-simple and now that I have this huge kit, I wish I had some kids around to play with it.
There are two ways to order. For retail orders go to SandyCandy.com. For wholesale orders go to NiftyCandy.com. The extra large kit shown here is $50 and has 50 candy straws and includes 20 bottles of different flavors. Smaller kits are also available.
I give the whole kit a 7 out of 10. I really love the concept and think that it's great fun for kids, especially if you spring for the fun shaped bottles. The variety of flavors is great, especially the fact that there's Root Beer in there! The only drawback is the difficulty of ordering and the packaging isn't really that all that exciting. (If I could just order single bottles of my favorite flavors, well, I'd be in trouble.)

Twizzler Sourz
These were introduced almost two years ago, so I was a little confused by the NEW! starburst on the package. But I hadn't had them anyway, so into the basket they went.
I don't know when citrus flavors stopped being the normal "sour" flavors, but I've missed them a bit. It's not like blue raspberry is any more natural as a "licorice" flavor than orange or lemon.
These are a wheat-based chew, which is what most "licorice" is. The center is flavored and then dusted with a sour sugar coating. They smell really nice as a combo - a little floral, a little fruity and a slight tangy essence. Leave them in a desk drawer and it's kind of like an edible sachet.
They're wee morsels, smaller than most licorice bites. They have the same basic star shape in cross section, which is great for holding onto all the sour dust.
Strawberry - mild in the strawberry department and with a decent tart bite.
Cherry - a nice chemical cherry flavor with a solid sour kick, but no complexity. A bit of a bitter aftertaste.
Green Apple - a pretty good sour apple flavor with a combo of the floral notes and that realistic apple juice taste and a sizeable tartness that satisfies. My favorite of all of them.
Blue Raspberry - floral and with an odd sort of yellow mustard note in there that confused the heck out of me. Not as sour tasting as some of the others and of course the mustard thing was kind of unpleasant.
Overall, they're tasty, but don't really provide any more candy satisfaction than some other tangy chews that I've had lately. I might even prefer the Sour Strings I had this summer or the SweeTarts Shockers - Shockers have the lead because of the variety in a single roll.

UHA Puccho
The Japanese have some strange candies and these have to be right up there at the top. Puccho are pretty popular and with good reason, they deliver just about everything. They have variety in both the experience and the range of flavors, great packaging, they're inexpensive and of course you can share them easily.
There was a wide variety of flavor combinations at the store and I was especially interested in the Cola one but wanted to stay away from the yogurt ones (I like yogurt, but not as a flavor).
The Cola (in the red package) was awesome. The little piece had white and brown stripes in the candy and every once in a while there was a little piece of cola flavored gummi or a nugget of sour foamy grains. The grains gave it a lemon-cola zap and the gummis gave the soft, Hi-CHEW-like taffy a little bump of longevity.
The second one is a bit more of a mystery. The English sticker on the label calls it Genki Drink, which didn't really help me to narrow it down because I didn't know what a Genki Drink is. A little time on Google and I knew EXACTLY what they are ... you've probably seen them before, those mysterious brown glass bottles by the checkout at the Asian markets and tea shops that claim to boost your mental acuity and, um, other things.
The saffron colored chews are similarly soft and have a tangy, lemon tea flavor to them but also a floral note that reminded me of violets. There are similar nuggets of white powder that release a little zap of fizz and tartness, but these seem to have a bitter bite to them. The little gummi bits linger and have a little fruity taste to them and help to scrub away any lingering taffy bits in the teeth (that's how they're described on the Puccho website).
I definitely found the Cola ones fun and practically addictive except for the later burps that the little fizzy bits seem to generate. The Genki, not so much, even though it probably has infusions of all sorts of healthy things (the only one I'm sure of is vitamin C). I'll probably stick to my tried-and-true Hi-CHEW but the Cola ones are definitely compelling if I'm in a mood.
Interesting note: the motto for UHA Mikakuto is "Deliciousness is Gentleness"

Head to Head: Chewy SweeTarts vs Chewy Tart n Tinys
There are a lot of candies that are not unique, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's good to have choices. But usually there are similar products on the market becaue they're made by different companies. I ran across these recently: Chewy Mini SweeTarts and Chewy Tart n Tinys. SweeTarts and Tart n Tinys used to be nearly identical products, except for the shape of the little pieces. And that was fine because one was made by Sunline (SweeTarts) and the other was made by Wonka (Tart n Tinys). Then Tart n Tiny's were glazed in a bright candy shell and they were suddenly a vastly different product and coincidentally now owned by the same company (Nestle).
But here we are again with the same thing?
Chewy Mini SweeTarts are little spherical versions of the larger Chewy SweeTarts which, in turn, are like the original SweeTarts. They come in five flavors: grape (purple), cherry (red), orange (orange), lemon (yellow) and apple (green). There are also Giant Chewy SweeTarts, which have been around since I was a kid.
They have a little glaze on them to keep them from sticking together and their colors are a little mottled, but not unattractively so. The chew is soft but grainy, with a nice cool feeling to it and a quick dissolve. The flavor is about what you'd expect from a SweeTart - a lot of tart at the beginning with a round, chemical flavor and then it finishes sweet and grainy.
Somewhere back in the distant past Tart n Tinys were not colorful - they were plain and chalky, like SweeTarts only pellet shaped. Then someone gave them a shiny color coating. They have little character versions of the candies on the package, but I've never paid much attention to them, but I guess that's what sets them apart from SweeTarts.
The Chewy Tart n Tinys are little chewy pellets of tartness, a bit of flavor and a grainy chew all coated in a thin, crunchy shell. They come in five flavors: grape (blue), cherry (red), orange (orange), lemon (yellow) and apple (green). Sound familiar?
Besides the colorful coating and the difference in the color of the grape flavor, and the slight difference in size (the Tart n Tinys are 11% smaller than the Chewy SweeTarts Minis) they're the same candy.
SweeTarts come in a handy dispenser tube (but I've seen them in the bags before, too), which is kind of fun for sharing and saving for later. There's a little more in the Tart n Tinys package (1.6 ounces vs 1.75 ounces) but I guess it all comes down to how you want your candy to look. Chewy SweeTarts Minis look kind of like tiny Trix and Chewy Tart n Tinys look like little beads. Chewy Tart n Tinys have fewer calories per ounce, I can only guess this is because the tartness ingredients are higher on the list and perhaps there are more colorings in the Tart n Tinys, which take up mass but have no calories. Both deliver a lot of variety and a consistent product. Why they both exist from the same company is beyond me, but then again they stopped making Wacky Wafers because they said they were too similar to Bottle Caps, and I really miss Wacky Wafers.
In the end, the Chewy Tart n Tinys win out by a very slight margin. I'm not sure why, I think it's just that I like the look of them better, and when the taste is the same, that's just about all it comes down to.

Jolly Rancher Double Blasts
Remember Zotz? Those hard candies with a sour and fizzy center? These aren't those.
Jolly Rancher Double Blasts are billed as "flavor-infused powder filled candy." Each little bag contains a mix of two flavor combos, Chorange (Cherry outside and Orange inside) and Raspilime (Blue Raspberry outside and Lime inside).
Each little candy rod is about the same diameter as a pencil. The color and shape makes them look more like little pegs that you'd use with Tinkertoys than candy, but that didn't keep me from putting them in my mouth (or from them marking them as a choking hazard for young children). The hard candy outside is nice, it's tangy and flavorful but not at all like the traditional Jolly Rancher hard candies that have a pliable stickiness to them. Pretty soon, as the candy dissolves, especially around the seams, you start getting a little jolt of the powdered center. The center is the second flavor and is not that strong, but the texture and effect is pretty stunning.
The powder is made from erythritol, which is a sugar alcohol like xylitol that has an instant cooling effect. It's also sweet, which is also a plus!
They're pretty addictive in the sense that each time I ate one, I was trying to either crack them open with my teeth to get to the super-cooled center or suck on the candy so that as much of it as possible had dissolved by the time I got to the powder. In the sense that the flavor combos are tasty, well, I could take them or leave them. I was surprised at how much I liked the Chorange, seeing how the bulk of it is Cherry and the Raspilime was just kind of boring (and my assortment had twice as many Choranges).
I'm hoping they'll do some other flavor combos, but I'm most interested in the other version of these called Sour Bolt Blasts, which might be more like Zotz and have one flavor through and through.
Of course they still make Zotz, so I could just go find some of those.
These candies were made in Canada.

Wonka Sour Nerds
Nerds have been around since the early eighties and I've never tried them. I was an early member of the Wonka fan club (you had to send in proofs of purchase) and I've never tried them. There's actually a pretty long list of very common candy items that I've never tried, but this was one I decided to tick off my list.
Nerds are little panned crunchy and sour candies. They're made by taking a little crystal of sugar and then tumbling them with successive layers of sour coating, then a coat of color. Nerds are irregular with some as small as a sesame seed and others as large as a dried pea. The unique selling proposition with Nerds is that they come in packages with two flavors in them and a separate dispensing opening. The flavor combo that got me off my bum to try them was Lightning Lemon/Amped Apple.
What I found out is that I'm not really missing anything by not eating Nerds.
The texture is good and the consistent crunchiness has a lot to recommend it, however, there's really no flavor there. The distinction between the apple and lemon is rather scant. They're both tart but little else. As for the SOUR! emblazoned on the box, well, they were sour, but not in all caps.
I can see these being very useful for a decorative element for cupcakes, but I can't see myself buying them again. I know they have their fans, but I think I'm going to stick with Tart 'n' Tiny. For the record, I'm not an ice-chewer, so maybe that's who these are marketed for. I have actually purchased the new Nerds Rope twice, but I haven't actually eaten them (I think I gave one away in one of the contests), but I suspect they're better in combination with something else like a gummi.
(While I'm on the subject of decorating with candy, check out Candy Addict's Swimming Pool Cake ... if he decided to make an aquarium instead, this would make great colored gravel.)

PDFjam 2.00 Ushers in New Options
Shell scripts are now bourne-compatible
PDFjam, a collection of shell scripts for processing PDF documents, is available in version 2.00 with new functions and options.
More than a simple update, author David Firth fundamentally modified the tools for version 2.00. The main PDFjam script now takes over merging, rotating and reflecting PDF pages, with all other scripts simply wrappers for it. The shell scripts now call a bourne-compatible shell instead of the bash shell.
PDFjam uses pdfLaTex from the PDFpages package by Andreas Matthias. The new release provides easy access to all its functions.
Version 2.00 works with stdin and stdout, which allows it to be used in a pipeline. It also interprets relative paths to the current working directory, behavior common to UNIX utilities. Another new function not found in previous releases is that multiple input files now have two methods of processing: the default being combining pages into a single document, or using the batch option to produce one output file per input file.
Other new features: the --keepinfo option preserves PDF metadata, and many additional output page sizes (such as a4paper and b3paper) can be specified. Many more details (and bug fixes) are in the release notes.
Despite these changes, PDFjam's strength continues to lie in the excellent graphic quality, with the downside that hyperlinks in the source original are lost.
PDFjam is under GPLv2 licensing. A tarball of version 2.00 for Linux/UNIX is available for download, along with packages for Debian, Ubuntu and openSUSE (that are unfortunately not yet updated). The Mac OS X version includes droplets as .dmg files that allow PDF conversion via drag-and-drop, although using the older PDFjam 1.21 version.

my boyfriend was arrested for 475 (C)pc back in 12/09/08, i don't know what that is. Is he able to jus go to court and be fined or is their jail time involved?
Criminal Defense Attorney
There are several different ways to violate this code section, so which one your boyfriend violated depends on the police reports. Essentially, it's possession of a forged document (typically a check) with intent to pass it.
Whether he gets jail time or not depends on the facts of the case, his record and the judge/court/DA.

"I'd be saying to clerics who are teaching that there are two laws governing people in Australia, one the Australian law and another the Islamic law, that that is false. If you can't agree with parliamentary law, independent courts, democracy, and would prefer Sharia law and have the opportunity to go to another country which practises it, perhaps, then, that's a better option," said Australia's Treasurer Peter Costello.

Islamo-Fascists, "Australia is not for you"
Pakistan's Daily Times has the news that John Howard and his Ministers are telling Islamo-Fascists that if they want Sharia law and a theocratic State, then Australia is not the place for them.
1 comment:
The best thing Howard has ever said - such clarity and he is right. Clark couldn't get away with that, because the same would apply to the Marxist-Leninists and ethno-fascists aligned to the Maori Party - but if only she WOULD or Brash would.
