This bordering on A+ list mostly movie actor did IVF for one of his kids because he could never achieve an erection with the baby mama
. It definitely makes those rumors about him much more solid.
Will Smith?ReplyCancel
Lots of rumors about the Renner baby tooReplyCancel
Oh hell I'm going with TommyGirl just because we know Suri isn't his.ReplyCancel
Will SmithReplyCancel
"Did ivf"? Are we looking for a doctor then? Can't be Tom Cruise or Will Smith because he would refer to them as former, right? Renner? Ooh, just say Lady H said that, I'm with you, Lady!ReplyCancel
Ooooh aemish, that's a great guess!
B – Jeremy Renner (Avengers, Bourne Legacy etc)ReplyCancel
Mathew is a great guess and smoking a lot of weed can make men impotent and shrink their junk as well…ReplyCancel
If he can't get an erection with the baby mama and this is for ONE of his kids, it has to be someone who has kids with more than one woman. That counts out Renner and McCoughawhatever.ReplyCancel
My bad, can't be Renner, he only has one kid. However, conspirababy rumors are infiniteReplyCancel
Don't buy this as Brad even though he fitsReplyCancel
@hairy—an occasional joint or hit off a bong won't matter but if you are a wake and baker it is shown it is not good for your manhood. I will take your word for it ; )ReplyCancel
@Simon, was just about to post that.ReplyCancel
Cruise… little Suri Sperm donationReplyCancel
It's his only kidReplyCancel
Tom cruise,,,I'm pretty sure it's the only way he could father a child and his marriage to Katie was an arranged Scientology marriage. And suri is the spit of him, it's his kid, The reason enty said " baby mama" and not ex wife is it would be far too easy peasy if he had. He has two other kids, both adopted as we know.ReplyCancel
Depp. Long been said he can't get it up because of years of drugs and booze.ReplyCancel
With you on that!ReplyCancel
@jaiden.. hugh jackmen adopted both his kids.
they said they tried ivf for years and no luck
renners kid is supposedly his sister's
i'm sticking w/ depp cause he lets amber have her girls on the side
John TravoltaReplyCancel
I'm guessing the "rumours being more solid about him" is less about long term drug use and more about being closeted. Renner has only one kid, and as far as I am concerned, he has NEVER come out as straight, so him being gay is no shocker. Travolta has more than rumours against him – he has lawsuits. So no surprise there either. Tommyboy OTOH has the rumours, with absolutely ZERO to back it up, but it is pretty much presumed that Suri wasn't conceived in the biblical way, which would support said gay rumours.ReplyCancel
OK. So, this is bullshit, because you don't do IVF when the guy can't achieve an erection with the baby mama. You do IUI (aka: the turkey baster method). Either somebody got the procedure wrong, or they are just full of shit.ReplyCancel
@derek harvey said: "smoking a lot of weed can make men impotent and shrink their junk as well…"
Are you like a middle school health teacher from the 1970's or what…… srsly…. "weed shrinks your junk…". you should get out more…. weed is being legalized and decriminalized all across the country
maybe read something current, maybe post-reagan era and catch yourself up mmkay…wow!ReplyCancel
It lowers testosterone and sperm count idiot. Let me guess you know more than the top rated Doctors and Scientists in the world? SMH. Do your research before you go telling people off…mmkayReplyCancel
@Jessie I laughed at that cuz I totally agree!ReplyCancel
Rosie O'Donnell?ReplyCancel
I love the brad Pitt guess, but my money is on tommy boyReplyCancel
Well really is pot smoking much different than cigarette smoking and cigarette smoking is known to lower sperm counts and more likely to have defective sperm and even impotence for those that are chain smokers.
Not that one would ever notice from daily observation.ReplyCancel
And many of these actors have probably dabbled in 'roids.ReplyCancel
Definitely not MM he would seem to have the opposite problem–it never goes down. He strikes me as the type that's always on the make!ReplyCancel

Handcrafted and Custom Built
While we see ourselves as innovators, we also hold true to old-fashion values. We are so certain of the durability of our equipment that we are pleased to offer a limited lifetime warranty on all studio line equipment. The difference is in our process:
- Solid Wood Construction
Our wood reformers and combination systems are made of premium hardwood provided by nature. We are the only major manufacturer to use solid wood. The unique characteristics and subtle variations in grain and color are important elements in our designs. Solid wood will not behave like veneered plywood. It is dynamic; it expands and contracts. We have taken this movement into account in both design and function which results in an organic, "living" piece that gains character over time.
- Seven Step Finishing Process
To ensure a satin smooth finish our craftsmen apply three sandings and four coats of environmentally friendly, water-based lacquer.
- Mortise and Tenon Construction
Far superior to dowel pins or metal fasteners, our method turns out equipment that's crafted like fine furniture and designed to last a lifetime.
- Attention to Detail
Our carriages are constructed from 13-ply Baltic birch with hardwood veneers throughout. Shoulder pads conform to ensure full comfort and support for both reclining and standing positions. And our machines are completely finished, top to bottom.
- Upholstery
Our upholstery is combined with premium foam and is pulled by hand to stretch the material firmly. This provides superior support while it resists sagging and adds durability for rigorous studio use. We utilize premium commercial grade vinyl upholstery which has antimicrobial and antibacterial protection while providing an anti-static , anti-slip finish. It is easy to clean and is stain resistant. Every piece is hand stretched to ensure perfect fit and finish. In line with our philosophy of choices, the entire palette of vinyl colors is available at no extra charge. We offer 88 colors to select from.
- Options Made Standard
At no extra cost, you'll get multi-position footbars and gear bars for ultimate adjustability, reformer boxes with footstraps, and an extensive array of accessories – it's all there.

Today in history
On this day in 1887, Groundhog Day, featuring a rodent meteorologist, is celebrated for the first time at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Penn.
According to tradition, if a groundhog comes out of its hole on this day and sees its shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter weather; no shadow means an early spring.

Today — Isolated showers after 11a.m. Partly sunny, with a high near 64. South wind between 10 and 20 mph.
Tonight — A slight chance of rain showers before 11 p.m. then a slight chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 34. West wind between 10 and 15 mph.

Absolut Art Award
The Absolut Art Award acknowledges and sustains the activities of the most exciting creative visionaries of our time.
The Absolut Art Award was instituted in 2009 to mark 30 years of creative collaborations between Absolut and artists. Winners to date include Renata Lucas - Art & Coco Fusco – Art Writing (2013), Anri Sala (2011), Rirkrit Tiravanija (2010) and Keren Cytter (2009).
In 2013 Absolut developed a new format for the award.
There are main changes to the format of the Absolut Art Award:
- 1. The introduction of two categories: art work and art writing
- 2. The opportunity for the winner in each category to produce a new works/series of works, and a publication respectively.
- 3. Open & transparent selection process
Two categories: Art Work & Art Writing
The Absolut Art Award is unique in its support of both art and art writing. Celebrating both images and ideas, it awards the capacity to enhance social imagination and experience, in addition to collaborative transformative projects.
Art Work
This category offers a EUR 20,000 cash prize, complemented by a budget of up to EUR 100,000 to produce an artwork or series of works.
Art Writing
This category offers a EUR 20,000 cash prize, complemented by a budget of up to EUR 25,000 to be used for the publication and distribution of a new publication. Jury process
Every two years a new Jury President is asked to head the Jury, the president together with Absolut then invites an additional four members to join.
The structure of the selection process for the Absolut Art Award allows for the five Jury members to ask 10 people (writers, curators; art professionals from across the globe) to be nominators. They nominate talent across the visual arts and art writing. This will ensure a diverse group of artists and writers from across the world. The Jury and the nominators then each nominate five artists and one writer, based on their past work. This will lead up to 50 nominees for the Art Work category and 10 nominees for the Art Writing category. Five finalists for each category are then selected by the jury, contacted and each offered EUR 2,000 to work on a proposal for a publication or an artwork. The jury deliberates a second time to agree on a winner for each category, based exclusively on the quality of the project proposal.

Peace event invite prompts scareMay 01,2013
BURLINGTON An invitation to a peace conference from a Catholic group is what prompted the scare at Congressman Peter Welchs office in Burlington after a worker thought the letter looked suspicious.
Authorities locked down the building Monday while a hazardous materials team investigated.
The incident followed the weekend arrest of a Mississippi man accused of mailing letters containing the poison ricin to President Obama and to Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi.
Police said the letter to Welch did not contain ricin or other dangerous material.
Police said the employee was concerned about peculiar characteristics and notations on the outside of the letter that were unusual.
The Burlington Free Press reported that the envelope indicated it was sent from the Fatima Center Servants of Jesus and Mary, located in Constable, N.Y.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.

This weekend, UW-La Crosse will pay tribute to our veterans with some special events. They'll also honor two of our country's heroes who were injured fighting the War on Terror.
23 year old Army Lieutenant Jason Church was deployed to Afghanistan in May, just one year after graduating from UW-La Crosse. But he would come home just a few months later, much sooner than expected.
Jason was on a foot patrol in an abandoned village, in an area of Afghanistan considered the birthplace of the Taliban, when an IED exploded. It blew off both of his legs below the knee.
His fellow soldiers quickly came to his aid and were able to get him help, but the damage had already been done. "There was a loud explosion obviously and I don't remember the first few seconds, I don't know how long I was knocked out or dazed, I remember coming to, you see the white light and realize, one, I'm not dead and two I looked and my legs were obviously gone at that point," said Jason.
He is back in La Crosse at his Alma Mater this weekend. During half-time of the UW-L/UW-Whitewater football game Saturday, Jason will receive the Purple Heart.
Jason's dad, who is currently a Colonel in the Army, will present his son with the award. "When I was in the hospital, I called Josh Whitman, the Athletic Director here at UW-L, and asked him if it was possible for me to do that as a former UW-L football player, I graduated from this institution, I consider it my home, it would be an honor ro receive an Purple Heart here," said Jason.
After this weekend, Jason will head back to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in the Washington D.C. area where he'll continue intense rehabilitation.
Doctors tell him he should be up and walking with the use of a cane by the end of December and walking on his own with just the prosthetics in a few months.
Here are some of the events going on this weekend at UW-La Crosse:
It's called "Pack the Vet for Vets." The football game gets underway at 1:00 p.m. Saturday. Tickets are free to veterans with a military ID.
There will also be several pre-game recognitions including a special honor for Corporal Gauge Griffin, another soldier from our area who was injured fighting in Afghanistan.
Then on Sunday, there's a free Veteran's Breakfast. Doors open at UW-L's Mitchell Hall at 8 a.m. with a special ceremony at 9:00 a.m. and breakfast at 10 a.m.

Tag: Mutual fund 1st quarter perfomrance
Mutual fund expenses are down a tad; performance up a whole lot more
- 6:48 pm Friday, April 12th, 2013 by Dian Vujovich
Mutual funds have plenty to crow about this year. Along with posting double-digit total returns for equity funds, fund expenses have also fallen—albeit not by much.
First, fund performance.
According to Lipper, the average U.S. Diversified Equity fund was up 10.16 percent at the end of the first quarter 2013. Additionally, sector funds were up on average about half as much (5 percent) and world equity funds about half of that (3.8 percent).
The fund type you wanted to own shares of to be the first quarter's big winner was mid-cap value funds. They were up on average 13.74 percent. The one diversified [More]

Traditional Midsummer Essentials for your own party! This year, Midsummer is on June 20th - here is how you can celebrate in style.
Every year, on the summer solstice - the longest day of the year - Swedes across the world celebrate Midsummer. For Swedes, who experiences winter days with as few as 3 hours of day light, the Midsummer festival is literally the highlight of the year. It's for this reason that this holiday has become such an important part of Swedish culture and tradition.
However, since on this day, the sun shines brightest all over the northern hemisphere (our friends in the South can celebrate in 6 months), there is no reason you can't celebrate Midsummer at home as well. . To help you plan the ultimate Midsummer party, we put together some of the essentials to help kick start your own party planning.
Wear white! Celebrate the joys of the sun with light colored clothing.
Flower crowns aren't just for hippies. Weave together some fresh cut flowers into a crown to complete your midsummer outfit.
Building a maypole isn't the easiest thing to do, but to celebrate midsummer in full Swedish style, its a must.
If a homemade maypole isn't an option, use ribbons to decorate an existing pole... and while you're at it, add ribbons to everything from table settings to flower crowns.
Midsummer dinner is always a spirited event with songs and snaps! Sing along to the unofficial anthem of Midsummer 'Helan Går' and offer a toast of flavored vodka to friends and to the sun.
Speaking of friends, invite all your friends to this very special celebration, and try to sit everyone into long tables that allows people to meet the people around them.
And most importantly, make sure you appreciate the sun. The days only shorter from now until the winter solstice in December.

Short Stints in Pinstripes
Throughout the course of a baseball season, different players come and go. The Yankees have had players for incredibly short amounts of time, but of course I didn't forget them being such the great Yankee fan that I am. Here are some of the recent players who were Yankees for just a little while.
2003 – Armando Benitez
Yep. He was a Yankee once. In 2003, Benitez pitched a total of 9 games for the Yankees before being shipped off to Seattle in a trade for Jeff Nelson.
Strikeout fist pump?
2004 – Donovan Osborne
He was a Yankee for such a short time that I couldn't find any pictures of him in action for the team! Osborne pitched 9 games for New York in '04, and after that was gone. And in those 9 games, he threw to a 7.13 ERA.
That's all I could find.
2005 – Matt Lawton
Lawton played 21 games in a Yankee uniform in 2005, and hit just .125. After that, he sort of just disappeared…
Lawton's power swing…he did hit 2 homers for the Yanks.
2005 – Mark Bellhorn and Alan Embree
A pair of fellow sophisticants from the "idiot" Red Sox of '04, Bellhorn and Embree's careers as Yankees were short-lived. Bellhorn took part in just 9 games as a Yankee, hitting just .118. Embree relieved in 24 games, and had a frightening ERA of 7.53. Not what was expected from these World Champions of the season before.
Bellhorn at batting practice.
Ooh…looks like Embree failed in this picture.
2006 – Sal Fasano
This guy was hilarious. He was quite the character. Fasano played just 28 games for the Yanks, but I will remember him forever. How could I forget that moustache? Or that on every play, he hustled to first base to back up the throw. He was a fun player.
2007 – Josh Phelps
Phelps was superb in Spring Training of 2007, batting somewhere around .400. But once the real action began, Phelps wasn't very special. In just 36 games with the Yanks, he hit .263, which is respectable. Later in the season he played for the Pirates.
Pretty cute😉
2007 – Bronson Sardinha
I absolutely adored this little cutie. He looked a little bit like Melky…only Bronson is Hawaiian. He has the longest middle name I have ever seen in my life….I'm not even going to try and pronounce it: Bronson Kiheimahanaomauiakeo Sardinha. What a unique name…Anway, Bronson played just 10 games with the Yanks in 2007, and even made the postseason roster as the designated speedster. After that, I never saw or heard of him again.
ADORABLE!!! I miss this cutie so much.
2008 – Morgan Ensberg
He made it on the team out of Spring Training, but only played 28 games for New York before disappearing…he seemed like a nice guy though.
Action shot of Ensberg.
2008 – Richie Sexon
In his 22 games as a Yankee, I fell in love with Richy. I felt bad that he was struggling so much. But as a Yankee, I was impressed with him. He hit .250 and was a solid defender at first base. I remember a grand slam he hit with the Yanks. He too vanished after playing with the Yankees. At least he ended his career with the best.
Richie's ready stance.
2009 – Angel Berroa
Before A-Rod returned, Berroa platooned at third base with Cody Ransom and the occasional Ramiro Pena. But Berroa only played for a short time. In 21 games as a Yankee, Berroa hit .136 and got just 3 hits. He wasn't the greatest fielder either. I know Yankee fans were used to A-Rod and his intense skills, but even so, Berroa was not too good as a Yankee.
2009 – Brett Tomko
Tomko pitched just 15 games for the Yankees before they got rid of him. He was very upset about having to leave the team. He said he never got a fair chance. I understand where he is coming from, but who says baseball is fair?
Poor guy…
Well, baseball isn't always fair. You do whatchya gotta do to win. If that means getting a player for just a little while, then so be it. I guess saying goodbye to a player you've barely known is worth it if you go on to win.
Spring Training has begun, and the season is getting closer! I wonder which players we will only see for a little while before they too move on…

Nice walk down memory lane, but I have to admit I have no memory of Donovan Osborne! How'd you come up with him? LOL. I don't miss Bellhorn or Embree – not sure why we signed them in the first place – or Morgan Ensberg. And Richie Sexson was the tallest Yankee ever, wasn't he?
It's too bad when players' playing time in a team gets cut too soon. They deserve more time to prove to the team that they belong there. By the way, I just realized that Morgan Ensburg and Brett Tomko are former Padres!
Happy Belated Birthday Tommy!!
As a Mets fan I had mental images of Armando Benitez safely tucked away in the farthest reaches of my gelatinous cortex. Thnx ; )
Ha ha Hyunyoung, Tomko also was a Dodger. He is a fantastic artist.
Angel Berroa was also a Dodger.
Wow, Virginia, you certainly did your research.
Wowzers! LOL. You did a great job with this one, Virginia. I am however with Jane–I do not remember Donovan Osborn. I loved Sexson in '08 because it gave me an excuse to say "sexy" all the time. haha. Great work!
I had no idea Bellhorn played for you guys. Loved that guy with the Cubbies. He peaked with the BoSox and then was gone. Weird.

Interview with Edge magazineposted by Dark0ne Site NewsBack in January when I blogged about money and running these sites a lot of people expressed an interest in what I'd written and surprise at how I ran things and how I think. This in turn surprised me; I didn't think many people would be very interested, it's only me. Similarly a few online publications got in contact to set up interviews with me on the topic, something I'm more than happy to oblige with. While I only ended up doing one interview as the interest seemed to die down the results have been summarized, quite heavily, in to an article on the Edge magazine website.
I'm an extremely opinionated person and very happy to be extremely open and candid both online and offline with how I express myself. I'm always really happy to be myself and tell people exactly what I think irrespective of whether I'm right or wrong or broaching difficult and controversial subjects, because I hate insincerity. As far as I'm concerned you should say what you mean and mean what you say, while trying to remain respectful. It doesn't always work out like that, but hey, I try. I don't want the image of me to be some corporate bigwig who only says things that I think will appease others and broaden my appeal to the masses, I want to be myself and if people don't like that then so what!? We were never going to get along anyway. I'm not here to be everyone's best friend, I'm here because I want to run a good modding community that really helps and supports modding. Sometimes the two don't go hand-in-hand, and it wasn't a particularly hard lesson for me to learn.
In the few interviews I've done they always start out formal; question, answer, question, answer and then just end up with us talking for a good hour or so about anything and everything under the sun to do with games. Mainly because I just cannot stick to one subject and have to go off on tangents as issues get raised (my teachers in school diagnosed me with "verbal diarrhea"). This interview was no exception, and I enjoyed it just for the great chat. And I'm always open to do more.
A couple of years ago I ran a little fun night with the Amnesia: The Dark Descent demo on Mumble. Around 30 of us got in to the voice comms and played through the demo together while having a good chat and laugh together. It had a nice sense of community to it and I know the people who took part enjoyed it. It also gave members a chance to chat to me openly and ask me questions which I answered back freely. I'd like to start up something similar, but honestly, time just isn't on my side these days. It's not the turning up that's the problem, it's the organising it. I'll try my best to get something like this done soon, and if you have any ideas on what we can do, fire away.

Lindsay Lohan Gets Face Full of Flour
Lindsay Lohan's tan turned noticeably paler tonight after an anti-fur activist showered her with flour at a nightclub in Paris. Lindsay was on her way into the VIP room on the Champs-Elysées just after 1 a.m. early Saturday when she had an entire bag of flour dumped over her head by a French fur foe who shouted, "Lindsay Lohan—fur hag!" Lohan has enraged animal lovers by appearing in at least two different fur coats in recent days, despite PETA's repeated pleas that she consider how animals suffer for every fur garment and stop wearing their skins. You can check out the pics from X17 here.
When Lindsay was named to PETA's annual Worst-Dressed List earlier this year, her entry read: "I Know Who Killed Me isn't just the title of Lindsay Lohan's latest bomb, it's the cry of the animals snuffed out so that this 'mean girl' can pose in their pelts. Lindsay, there's no road to recovery for the foxes who are anally electrocuted so that you can look skanky." She was also in the public eye last winter for allegedly stealing a $10,000 fur coat from a fellow partygoer.
PETA Europe's Robbie LeBlanc had this to say about Lindsay's run in with the French flour-tossing fur foe: "There is nothing remotely 'fashionable' about the torture and death of animals killed for fur. Lindsay Lohan might be able to ignore images of bloody animals skinned alive for their pelts, but we hope a dash of flour will help her rise to the occasion and forsake fur once and for all."
So come on Lindsay, drop the fur for good.

Protest is fine but assault is assault. If someone threw flour on me I might accidentally assume it's anthrax and defend myself most aggressively… Or is PETA the only group allowed to be aggressive? Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Keep it sane everyone.. Too much to ask? I thought so.
Attacking someone's pride is often more destructive than attacking their person. Dumping a bag of flour on Miss Lohan is more likely to make her defensiveprotective of her behaviors than it is to make her see "the errors of her ways". Positive reinforcement works while negative reinforcement often causes an aggressive response. This incident also makes the person throwing the bag of flour look foolish and juvenile. If PETA members really desire to help change Miss Lohan's behavior maybe they should praise her when she is photographed in coats made from synthetic fibers applauding her "efforts to change".
It's acts like these that makes me and other people not want to join Peta. I think discussing issues in a calm and reasonable matter would get people like Lindsay to realize what they're doing is wrong. Getting flour in your face doesn't let you know that fur coats are the result of animal torture. Please just think about that Peta.
I also agree with Cate. Will you please put pictures on her or atleast a video???????
Flour power!
What kind of person is she?? for people like her animals are still slaughtered. Her wealth doesn't justify her actions!! Animal LiBeRaTiOn Now!!!
I think she is just milking this for attention.
Just another spoiled overindulged attention grabbing hollywood who is milking this for all it is worth. I think she is wearing the furs to get more media coverage and pose controversy. I wish she would just go away.
Come on guys we are all here for the same reason right? To help animals. We are not here to bash Lindsay. I think it is horrible that she wears fur. Horrible that anyone does. I am so grateful for all that PETA does the world isn't going to change on its own. But I have to disagree with the flour. It does give PETA a bad rap. I am really glad it wasn't ketchup or paint though not to protect Lindsay but why ruin a fur coat you are only disrespecting the animals that suffered! Those beautiful innocent animals already died in vain please don't give these people an excuse to go out and buy another coat! Education is certainly the way to go. I know not everyone will listen but with persistence we can change the world. Thank you so much PETA for the many horrors you guys face and the time you put into helping animals and creating awareness. I will continue to support you and do everything I can to help animals.
I agree with Cate…. I just watched the interview with Kristen Johnston about the horrible life of horses who pull the carriages in NYC… when I was in NYC in 2001 I saw these horses and I thought it was awesome to see these beautiful animals on the streets of a city… I have always been an animal lover… but I didn't have enough knowlegde back then to know how they were being treated after hours… KNOWLEDGE is POWER.. I say keep sending these celebrities letters and videos to show them the cruelty that is inflicted onto these animals to make you a Fur coat or scarf…I get angry with the things I read and the more I learn but I don't think you should be following people out in the streets throwing things on them! All they are going to do then is rebel more against us!! You can be fashonable with your millions on other articles of clothing… Teach and maybe they will learn!!
Please continue throwing things at these people. They need to wake up from their fantasy realities!
I agree with Alex she got lots of attention which she didn't deserve but also to say Peta is bad is no good FOR ALL PETA HAS DONE AND IS DOING to stand for animals NOBODY CAN THROW THE RESPONSABILITY OF A SINGLE PERSON ACTION ON THE WHOLE ORGANIZATION that since yeeeaaars works hard to support animals' freedom to live! This has just been the emotional breakout of a Peta member ok what to do after all Lohan maybe needs to be waken up looking at her life….She was probably happy for all the attention she got! For free!! But don't blame PETA that's not serious!! Peta is a great organization and thanks God IT'S A REALITY AND EXISTS!! And I'm not even a Peta member! Yet…
Hoorah for the person that flour bombed her. I thought it was hilarious. I am so sick of hearing about how skinny she is or about her drug rehab. Maybe she will eventually starve herself or overdose so we don't have to keep hearing about what a loser she is. She is a skank!
How 'bout if someone teaches a lesson and tells that selfish spoiled brat to inject some cooking oil in her self. It totally ruins the face she'll look hideous! So anyone think they could try and trick her? 3 Please?
I cant see how anyone could wear fur. The pain these poor animals have to go through just so that people can wear their fur. Its painful for animal lovers so see that. It hurts my heart.
Too rich too much of everything too pampered out of touch out of friends. Another cookie cutter silly pretty girl with no conscience and no values. She was lucky it was only flour Cherry
The world is very sick… Poor us and poor animals.
How the hell do people tell the difference between real and fake fur anyway? I follow Lindsay's career and I doubt she was wearing real fur.
Fk these celebrities that think just because they are famous they dont give a shit about where their clothes comes from. I just watched the video above and cried so hard… how could people be soooo cruel to animals. They are helpless and cannot defend themselves. Thanks to Peta and all the people out there that choose to go fur free and vegetarian for you are the people that make this world beautiful. Damn these people and their greed and inability to see the bigger picture. Thanks Peta. You do a fantastic job. Keep it up. Lets hope the world changes for the better soon.
thanks for PETA!
Two undenyable facts someone attacked Lohan with a bag of flour yes it's an attack if you wait for someone to arrive and deliberatly throw flour at herhim Lohan got free publicity… I think that despite the fact that she deserve it or not by supporting this PETA creates a negative imagine of the organization and gives free publicty to someone who doesn't deserve it. Please stand up for the animal rights the right way!!!
Where was that skinning video taken? Somebody do something
Hey! That was great. Can I see the picture? You make my night. We need more flour for her.
Why not send lindsay to jail!? What gives her the right to steal an animal's coat?!?! I think that the person was right ot throw powder on her! Animals were put on the earth to be free not to be worn by humans.
Well people get mad and do things all the time. Does it mean it's right? No but she wasn't injured or anything bad. There are more mature ways to get points across though. Educating everyone with showing videos passing out information photos for people to see it for themselves. I realize people turn a blind eye and pretend it's not real but at least PETA can try in an informational way to get their good points across.
Money is no excuse for ignorance
I don't see how throwing flour on Lindsay Lohan hurt her it wasn't a painful act what happened to the animals she's wearing with them being skinned alive is a painful act. I liked Lindsay Lohan but the girl is such an idiot! Peta you need to send her more letters MAYBE put some pictures on the letters so it's easier for her. She probably can't read that's why she's not getting the message!
Just remember Hollywood is a tool of the Illuminati to keep the 'sheeple' distracted while THEY steal your money AND liberties RIGHT OUT from under you!! WAKE UP PEOPLE!!
Like I ALWAYS say people what goes around COMES around and FRIENDS sadly it's coming around now! Turn On Tune In and WAKE UP!! http://WWW.INFOWARS.COM RESIST THEIR NEW WORLD ORDER http://WWW.GRASSFIRE.ORG WE NEED YA ' PEACE LOVE TRUTH
people people! how can you feel bad for lohan? she got flour dumped on her boohoo! Animals who live in extreme confinement and get brutally murdered now thats who you need to feel bad for. I bet she felt pretty stupid after this!
It isn't like Linsay doesn't know about the cruelty she is inflicting on animals unless she has completely ignored thousands of pleas for her to stop. She deserves more that flour poured on her. She deserves to have her skin ripped from her while she is alive.
I must agree with Jason. What's wrong you people? It's wrong to hurt someone even if they don't care about animals like a skank like lohan but this didn't really hurt her. She just got covered in flour and looked stupid! I'm pretty sure the flour whased away when she took a bath.
a little humiliation.. what's so bad about that? It's people who are in the public eye that flaunt and wear real fur that are the worst because they generate so much publicity as if to say.. 'it's okay to wear real fur'.. Oh no.. it AIN'T.. and the brave parisian who pelted her with only a bag of flour .. made her viewpoint well and truly known.. good for her!!
LOL ! Skanks will never learn sadly.
This is really sad! I mean yes it's bad that she wears furs but it's so not right to throw flour or anything for that matter at another human being. This just shows that PETA can be just as big an animal and the animals they try to protect. Go about it another way!
I have seen this sort of actions before and they did nothing to change my point of view as it did watching a video of an animal being skinned alive and reading about the process that goes behind selling any kind of meat in a super market. The right solution is to inform people rather than throwing things at them. PETA is getting a bad rep where many people think that its members are nothing but crazy irrational people so the message doesn't get across when people don't respect the ones that are sending the message in the first place. Another thing is that the people targeted for this kind of actions are not the ones that skin the animals but a few celebrities because that will get the media attention. I read some of the posts and people seem to enjoy what happened mainly because they dislike Lindsay Lohan as a person for reasons other than wearing fur and not because they think that the flour attack will have a positive effect on her or other people. Is like some posters were glad that she wore the fur to have an excuse to throw something at her face. PETA shouldn't be about condoning hate actions against a few chosen people who are not even the cause of the problem. Focus on the real problem and be the bigger person and avoid childish approaches that do nothing but give immediate pleasure but are counter productive to the main goal.
Some of you people commenting here are on the wrong website. Lohan didn't even get a fraction of what she deserves!! Attacks like this are never first on the agenda of helping animals but when animal abuse supporters like her ignore our pleas and letters then this is what it comes down to. I fully support everything PETA does and have no pity for her but for the millions of animals who are killed in unspeakable ways for their fur.And if you still dont get it take the time to watch a single fur video and it will change your mind. Until every cage is empty………..
I totally agree with Aneliese. Okay so how is attacking Lindsay with flour going to change her mind on wearing fur? She dusted her self off and continued to strut her onsomble. Fighting hate with hate is not going to work. Eductaion is the key not violence.
Fur is ugly anyway!
She's a skank so it doesn't surprise me she wears fur. Too bad it wasn't red dye. She's too stupid to change.
I'm not a member of PETA but I fully sponsor them. I would love to see Lindsay's flour covered head and clothes. I don't like her! Where are the pics!?

Girl is hurt in collision of truck and bikeJune 17,2013
Staff Report
BARRE — Police specialists are trying to reconstruct an accident that seriously injured a girl who was riding her bicycle on Airport Road early Sunday afternoon.
According to police, 11-year-old Ally LaGue was hit by a passing pickup truck shortly before 1:30 p.m. Sunday, transported to nearby Central Vermont Medical Center by a good Samaritan and then flown by helicopter to Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington.
LaGue was listed in serious condition at the Burlington hospital late Monday afternoon, and police who had spoken with her parents earlier in the day said she had shown slow but steady improvement.
Though the nature of LaGue's injuries was unclear, police said she suffered them when she was struck by a Chevrolet pickup truck while riding her bicycle near the intersection of Airport and Warner roads.
The truck, police said, was driven by Nathan Garcia, 24, of Graniteville.
Police said Garcia told them LaGue swerved in front of him while both were heading south on Airport Road.
According to police, LaGue lives nearby, and her father heard the collision and came running to her aid. Father and daughter were taken to CVMC by a passing motorist, they said.
Based on the extent of her injuries, LaGue was then flown to Fletcher Allen by the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Advanced Response Team.
While doctors were tending to LaGue in Burlington, the state police crash reconstruction team began reviewing the collision in an attempt to determine exactly how it happened.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tahoe It works! This heated mat allows us a good space on the back patio to get the snow blower started. It keeps the snow from piling up against the doors. It really works. October 22, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sudmom Heated stair tread mat We bought this for my in-laws for Christmas. I think it was a great investment! They are thrilled with it. High quality, easy to put in. Great service when I called for questions! January 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Vanessasgram FREEZING rain is no big deal anymore! We have a ramp that we use all the time to get to driveway from our porch and the steeper part is always a "fear" for me of slipping! We got these mats and they are easy to lay down and easy to plug in. Consumer's Reports says they are very cheap to run don't consume much electricity! They keep our ramp completely free of any freezing rain, ice or snow. It's a win win deal except we do feel the price of product is high side! September 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Artguy118 Worth every dollar I paid. I have several sets of outdoor stairs which always get very icy in the winter. Since one set of stairs is made of limestone slabs I did not want to use salt or chip the ice away. These stair treads served my purpose. The steps are always clean with no ice or show build up. It just takes one misstep on ice and you can end up hospitalized with serious injuries. Since I am over 70 I could not take the chance of slipping. The heated stair treads were worth every dollar I paid. I have since ordered a second set for my other staircase. December 20, 2013

Answer:Thank you for your question. We do not offer a "starter kit" for the Electric Heated Stair Treads as the treads and mat are sold separately. You will also need to purchase a control unit (374409) and may need additional cable extenders to configure your mats correctly. If you need additional help please contact a product specialist at 1-800-642-2112.

FreeBSD comes with a lot of simple yet powerful commands designed to make your computing work easier. No matter how long you've used any type of Unix system, you'll still discover new shortcuts and new ways of doing things more efficiently. As my grandmother used to say, there's more than one way to skin a cat.
In this article, we'll discuss commands that help you remember who you are, where you are, how to find things, and how to start thinking like a Unix geek when it comes to accomplishing tasks.
I love the concept of virtual terminals and usually run all 8 along with an XWindows session. At a typical moment, I'll have a PPP session running, another terminal with an e-mail client open, a couple of terminals with different man pages open, another terminal where I'm trying out commands as root, another terminal where I'm trying out commands as a regular user -- you get the idea. With this increased functionality comes increased confusion. I use several commands to help me navigate this mess.
If I forget which terminal I left a man page at, the PrintScrn key will scroll through all virtual terminals in increasing order. If I'm not running an X Window session, I can continue to rotate through terminals 1 to 8 forever. If I am running an X Window session, it will stop at terminal 9, the X Server.
If I enter a terminal and wish to know which one it is, I use the
tty command:
Note that this is actually virtual terminal 5 as they are numbered starting from 0. If I leave this terminal, Alt-F5 will get me back there.
If I want to know who I am in this terminal, I can use
rootIf I want to know who is logged into any terminal, I can use
genisis ttyv0 Jun 3 15:45 genisis ttyv1 Jun 3 15:46 genisis ttyv2 Jun 3 21:09 genisis ttyv3 Jun 3 21:10 genisis ttyv4 Jun 3 21:27 genisis ttyv5 Jun 4 09:40 genisis ttyv6 Jun 4 09:43 genisis ttyv7 Jun 4 10:46
Note the difference between
who and
whoami. On ttyv4, I originally
logged in as genisis, then became superuser. The
who command will tell you
who has the login shell but does not return information on non-login
shells. Also, because my X Window session is not a login shell, ttyv8 does
not display in this output.
If I forget where I am in the directory structure, I use
which will show my present working directory:
Good rule of thumb: Never make or
delete files or directories without first using
pwd to double-check that
you really are where you want to be.
Now, if I've lost all track of time:
Sun Jun 4 11:15:46 EDT 2000
or worse, can't remember what day it is:
June 2000 Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
or need to know what day Christmas falls on in the year 2020:
cal 12 2020
December 2020 Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
or what day of the week the Declaration of Independence was signed:
cal 07 1776

14 15 16 17 18 19 20
21 22 23 24 25 26 27
28 29 30 31
For two last geek trivia bits on
cal to amaze your friends and confound your enemies; try:
cal 9 1752
September 1752
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
1 2 14 15 16
17 18 19 20 21 22 23
24 25 26 27 28 29 30
The missing dates are due to the switch from the Julian to the Gregorian calendars. And:
ncal -e
April 23 2000
will show which date Easter falls on; use
-o if you want to know the date for Orthodox Easter.
By now, you're probably convinced that I'm a wonderful typist who has so carefully typed into this article the calendars you are viewing. Let's take a look at my history list:
110 date > /usr/home/genisis/cal 111 cal > /usr/home/genisis/cal 112 cal 12 2020 > /usr/home/genisis/cal 113 cal 07 1776 > /usr/home/genisis/cal 117 cal 9 1752 > /usr/home/genisis/cal 122 ncal -e > /usr/home/genisis/cal 134 h > /usr/home/genisis/cal
I hate to type and use the
> redirector a lot. This redirector is used if you want to save the results of a command to a file; the syntax is always
the same:
command > filename
I wanted you to see the output for each of the commands in the above
history list, so I redirected them to a file, then pasted that file into
my document. Note that I overwrote the same file seven times; this
happened because I only used one
> redirector.
Let's pretend you've posted a question to the FreeBSD questions list, and
someone has asked you to supply the output of
uname -a,
dmesg, and
fstab. You could use
> to create three files and paste them into your
e-mail document. But you could also redirect all three outputs to one file
by using the
>> redirector instead:
uname -a > /usr/home/genisis/help
dmesg >> /usr/home/genisis/help
more /etc/fstab >> /usr/home/genisis/help
If I now enter:
more /usr/home/genisis/help,
I'll see the output of
uname -a,
dmesg, and my
fstab file.
Let's look at these commands more carefully:
I only used one
> in the
uname -a command because I was creating a new file and
wasn't concerned with overwriting its contents. The command would have
worked with
>> but I saved myself a keystroke.
Because I used
>> in the
dmesg command, I didn't overwrite the
uname -a
portion of the file called help.
Note that I needed to use the
more command with
/etc/fstab. If I type:
fstab >> /usr/home/genisis/help,
fstab: Command not found:
will be the resultant error message. You can't redirect files; you can
only redirect the output of commands. In this case,
more is the command
that read
/etc/fstab; the result of that reading could then be redirected
So you've successfully sent three commands to one file without overwriting each other's output. But why type in three sets of commands? Surely there must be a way to do this with one command. If I type:
uname -a dmesg more /etc/fstab >> /usr/home/genisis/help2,
usage: uname [-amnrsv]
will be the message I'll receive back. Take a look at that command again; it has everything you want to do, but how can you tell what is a command, what is a switch, and what is a file? If you're confused looking at your own command, imagine how your shell feels when it's trying to interpret what it is you want to do. We need some way of separating our commands; try:
uname -a; dmesg; more /etc/fstab >> /usr/home/genisis/help3
This should yield the output of
uname -a and
dmesg to your terminal; if you
more /usr/home/genisis/help3
you will only see the output of
more /etc/fstab
So, we're getting closer. We've separated the commands, now we want the shell to know that we want all three outputs in the file, not just the last command's output. One last try:
(uname -a; dmesg; more /etc/fstab) >> /usr/home/genisis/help4
more /usr/home/genisis/help4
and you should have the results you wanted to achieve. The parentheses tell your shell that you want to run the commands in the parentheses first, then redirect all of that output to your file.
FreeBSD comes with several handy utilities for finding information. Which
utility you use depends on what it is you're trying to find. If you need
to find an application, use
whereis ls
ls: /bin/ls
If you need to find a file, use locate:
locate fstab
If you find something but don't know what it is, use
whatis ls
ls(1) - list directory contents
whatis fstab
fstab(5) - static information about the filesystems
Note that
whatis will include a manpage number in brackets. If you want
additional information on the above, you can type
man 1 ls
man 5 fstab
But what if you need to find a specific piece of text? You'll need to use
grep utility, which has a very simple syntax:
grep whatyou'relookingfor filename
Let's suppose I can't remember if the bpf device is enabled or disabled in the default FreeBSD 4.0 kernel. I could open up this file and start reading it, but it's quicker to ask:
grep bpf /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC
# The `bpf' pseudo-device enables the Berkeley Packet Filter. pseudo-device bpf #Berkeley packet filter
If I couldn't remember how far into this file the bpf option was, I could add a switch to grep:
grep -n bpf /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC
212:# The `bpf' pseudo-device enables the Berkeley Packet Filter. 214:pseudo-device bpf #Berkeley packet filter
will list the line numbers of the entries.
Of course, I can redirect this output to a file to e-mail to the person who asked me in the first place:
grep -n bpf /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC > /usr/home/genisis/reply
As another example, if you want the CPU information for your computer, you could run dmesg, turn on your scroll lock button, page up, and look for the line that describes your CPU. Or you could:
dmesg | grep CPU
CPU: AMD-K6tm w/ multimedia extensions (199.96-MHz 586-class CPU)
to quickly receive the same information. Note, if you try the command this way:
grep CPU dmesg
grep: dmesg: No such file or directory)
will be the error message.
Dmesg is a command and you can only grep
files. However, you can pipe the output of a command to grep so it can
find a certain piece of text.
To summarize: when you use grep, ask yourself if what you're looking for will be found in a file or if it is the result of a command. If it's in a file, use:
grep text filename
If it's the result of a command, use:
command | grep text

Mimmy Arnstein:
I�m Mimmy Arnstein and I farm here at Well Spring Farm.
We�ve got about five acres of organic vegetables, flowers, herbs and cover
crops. And I�ve been farming here for six years now. I first came to
to farm because it was my impression that
was the kind of state that really would support small-scale agriculture, and
indeed I�m happy to find out that my impression was right. We sell produce to
our community through community supported agriculture. Every week we give 130
families a share of the harvest, and that�s a share of what�s coming out of
the fields that very week.
When I came to
I knew that I wanted to grow food for the community. For our size farm it
isn�t efficient or really economically viable for us to ship produce down to
. We�ve got to grow very intensively on our five acres and sell as locally as
we can. It�s a big plus for me to know the people that our eating our food
each week. And one of the things we really focus on at Well Spring Farm is
really creating an experience for people who come to the farm so that they
connect with the land that their food is coming from.
From the start NRCS, and in particular Bruce Chapell, have
been very helpful to establishing a sustainable farm here. Right from the
beginning when we were looking at the property, one of our first stops was to
the NRCS office where we looked over soil maps and soil types, talked with the
folks who worked there, discussed what kind of crops and what kind of methods
would work best on our soil.
So NRCS came out to discuss installing tile drainage on our
property because a lot of our soil is not as well drained as we would like it to
be. They did all of the engineering work and the site assessment to map out
where the tile would go and then helped us talk with the folks that actually did
the physical work and oversaw that. At this point we�ve got a good three acres
that have been tiled and it has absolutely changed the nature of our soil. This
farm is so much better because of the work that we were able to do with NRCS�
If folks know that NRCS is out there and folks know more
about what NRCS can do for them, they�re an indispensible tool to help farmers
maximize the potential that their land offers, while also thinking about the
environment and taking care of the environment.

The UTEPCollege of Business Administration offers the only AACSB
Accredited business programs in the El Paso border region.
February 12, 2013
The University of Texas at El Paso's M.B.A. program has been recognized as among the "Best of the Best" for women and Hispanics in 2012 by quarterly national journals published by DiversityComm, Inc.
Professional Woman's Magazine and Hispanic Network Magazine based their decision on factors such as outreach, accessibility, diversity and efforts to improve opportunities for women and Hispanics to advance in their fields.
Robert Nachtmann, D.B.A., dean of UTEP's College of Business Administration, said the acknowledgment is a testament to the work his faculty and staff began six years ago to transform M.B.A. education for individuals with a passion for organizational leadership and management.
He said the program embraced the simple principle that managerial talent is a learned integration of leadership and business disciplines and not an intrinsic trait of gender, privilege or ethnic background.
Nachtmann said: "We are certainly proud of this recognition for our M.B.A. program and for the region. It affirms to some degree that we are realizing the goals that were set, energizes us to work harder, and deepens our commitment to excellence for the students that we serve."
Laura Uribarri, assistant dean for M.B.A. programs, called this latest honor a wonderful affirmation for University students, alumni, faculty and staff, and a signal to prospective employers, students and corporate partners about the value of a UTEP M.B.A.
"Our students have the distinct advantage of being a part of a culturally diverse and gender balanced M.B.A. program within a dynamic global business setting," she said. "This ranking speaks to the importance of gender and cultural diversity in graduate business education and recognizes the success of the UTEP M.B.A. program in cultivating that environment."
The University's M.B.A. program also recently was ranked 28th among the world's top 35 "Rising Star" business schools by FindyourMBA.com, a European-based Internet company. These are the latest accolades heaped on the program that has been rated No. 1 among business graduate schools the past three years in Hispanic Business magazine.
Professional Woman's Magazine promotes the advancement of multicultural and diverse women in all aspects of business, employment and education. Hispanic Network Magazine is focused on improving minority access to business and career opportunities.

Personnel Managers Study: Chile, 1963 (ICPSR 7052)
Principal Investigator(s): Landsberger, Henry A.
This study was conducted in 1963 in three cities in Chile: Santiago, Concepcion, and Valparaiso. The questionnaire explored in detail the respondents' positions as personnel managers. Variables ascertained the industry or service in which respondents worked, the number of people they managed, a full definition of their position and the responsibilities it entailed, and their past experience in personnel work. Respondents' positions within the company were also examined, as were their interactions with various other positions and departments within the company. A major part of the study investigated company relations with the workers' union. Variables probed the personnel managers' interactions with the unions, the degree of union participation in certain aspects of company management, and the help that the union provided its members. In addition to specific questions about workers in the respondents' companies, the study asked the respondents to rate the average Chilean worker on a variety of scales.

Laurier names outstanding teaching award recipients
Apr 9/13
Recipients of the Wilfrid Laurier University 2013 Awards for Teaching Excellence were recognized for a strong connection with their students, fostering interaction in their classrooms, and innovation curriculum design.
Peer and student praise abounded for this years award recipients for teaching excellence:
Full-time faculty category Rob Milne, Department of Geography and Environmental Studies
Part-time contract academic staff Duane Heide, Faculty of Education
WLU Award for Teaching Excellence, full-time faculty category Rob Milne, associate professor, Geography and Environmental Studies
Milne was recognized for his extensive teaching dossier 17 different courses and more than 8,700 students between 2003 and 2012 the remarkable quality of his online course development, outstanding teacher evaluations, and his strong knowledge of ecology and environmental studies.
In her nomination letter, Margaret Walton-Roberts, associate professor of Geography and Environmental Studies, also made note of Milnes connection with his students. She said the strong letters of support from current graduate and undergraduate students, and alumni, are testament to his ability to inspire students and shape their career aspirations and trajectories.
A letter written by a former student describes just that. The student describes Milne as a mentor who changed the course of his undergraduate studies.
I had been just another student on the fast track to a Liberal Arts degree and teachers college, writes the student. Dr. Milne not only provided focus to my degree, he inspired a passion for geography. It is a passion that persists.
Milne said he tries to relate to students on an individual basis and consider how they both want and need to learn.
"I try to simplify complex concepts by relating the course material to real-world examples that the student experiences in their daily life, he said. I also feel it's important that they look beyond their degree, beginning in first year, to consider future career opportunities whether it is grad school, teaching or in the environmental field."
He also believes in using online systems to facilitate learning.
"Online learning exposes students to a wide variety of learning materials," said Milne. "Even though you aren't in the classroom, it opens up opportunities for exchanging information in different ways."
Milne will receive his award June 6 at 9:30 a.m. during the Faculty of Arts convocation ceremony in Waterloo.
WLU Award for Teaching Excellence, contract academic staff category Duane Heide, part-time instructor, Faculty of Education
Heide, who is also an elementary school teacher, has been at Laurier since 2009 teaching primary/junior mathematics instruction methods to Lauriers Education students. He is known for outstanding small-group teaching, curriculum development, and an integrated learning style.
In her nomination letter, Donna Kotsopoulos, an associate professor and associate dean in Lauriers Faculty of Education, says Heide also provides valuable support and feedback to his students. She said that while only five nomination letters from students were included in his nomination file, they received more than 20 letters of support.
Many of the letters discussed how he has mentored and made himself available to students outside of class responding within a couple of hours of emails at most, and coming in to meet with students on their days on campus if timing of a meeting is not conducive to the student, Kotsopoulos writes in her letter.
In her letter, one student said she was nominating Heide for the award because for a student who spent most of her life hating and fearing math, he has demystified the subject, and inspired me to push myself with my own personal development to be a better, more understanding educator.
Heide says his teaching approach is very hands-on, getting students to use math manipulatives: blocks and volume containers to engage with the material.
Some of my students come to the Faculty of Education with a fear of teaching mathematics, so it is my job is to support and inspire them to enjoy teaching math, he said. I also teach them methods they can use immediately in their practicums. Im always thrilled when a student tells me that a lesson went well.
Heide said hes honoured to receive this teaching award.
It is recognition that Im doing what I should; that Im doing my best to support my students at Laurier.
Heide will receive his award June 7 at 2 p.m. during the Faculty of Education convocation ceremony in Waterloo.

Vivid green lights illuminate three separate screens as you touch the button to activate the time display. If you like cool watches, Kisai Console is a watch design you shouldn't miss out on.
Precision engineered from high quality stainless steel, Console features three carefully drilled zones, each fitted with a curved, smoked mineral crystal glass lens enabling the light to be clearly diffused within each segment to present the time.
Designed with a custom curve, the case achieves an accurate fit with the tapered wrist band creating a bracelet style appearance and is therefore a perfect fit for most wrist sizes.
Simple to read at a glance, Console's cool display separates time into three separate zones. Hours 1-12 are the shown by digits in the upper window. Five minute intervals are shown in the lower window progressing in a clockwise direction from bottom left and single minutes 1-4 are shown in the central window.
After touching the button, lights showing the current time will flash for several seconds to direct you. For more information about this cool watch, take a look at the diagram above and video below.
Kisai Console is a USB rechargeable watch design. The USB cap is fitted flush against the case and can be unscrewed with the screw driver provided. To charge, simply connect to your computer with the USB cable provided. One full charge will take 3.5 hours and each charge should last 1 month. There are 300 charges in one battery and the battery is replaceable. This is a cool function that means you won't need to replace the battery for many many years.
A cool, user selectable animation is programmed into Kisai Console for night time. Every fifteen minutes between 6PM and midnight, all LEDs will illuminate before fading out.
Kisai Console originated as a concept on the Tokyoflash Design Studio Blog in February 2010.
Named Bright Time, it was voted as one of the most popular concepts and was developed based on feedback from fans. Thanks to your votes and comments, Kisai Console is now reality. You can see the original concept here.
If you have an idea for an original watch design, submit it to the Tokyoflash Design Challenge and there's a chance that your concept will become reality too.
