Shia LaBeouf Tweets Naked Photo From 'Charlie Countryman'
Shia LaBeouf surprised fans on Monday by posting a revealing image from his upcoming movie "Charlie Countryman" on Twitter.
In the photo, a naked LaBeouf is seated with his head bowed in front of a blue wall featuring a map of the world. The image cuts off just as his pubic hair begins.
He captioned the pic: "tune in, turn on, drop out."
It isn't the first time LaBeouf has stripped off for the cameras. He got naked in a "Sigur Ros" music video, and he also stars in the upcoming NC-17 film "Nymphomaniac" about a man who helps nurse a woman back to health while she recalls her erotic past. LaBeouf and 13 other "Nymphomaniac" co-stars recently showed their "O-faces" in new teaser posters for the movie.
"Charlie Countryman" opens in theaters Nov. 15. It centers on a man who falls for a woman who's claimed by a violent gangster.

Claudia Villela
In the opening seconds of Dreamtales (Adventure), the new recording by vocalist Claudia Villela and pianist Kenny Werner, she's heard saying, "Let's go for it." The two had no set songs and no previously agreed-upon structure or strategy; they just started playing to see what would happen.
"I'm a composer, and I like to set up things, write lyrics and all," Villela says by phone from her home near Santa Cruz, Calif. "But I feel more human, more magical and more connected in an improvised setting. We turned on the microphones and stopped when it was over. It was like silk."
Villela's collaboration with the veteran pianist came about by accident. She attended a concert by Werner and Toots Thielemans with the aim of recruiting the Belgian harmonica great to participate in the large group sessions she was organizing for her 2003 recording, Inverse Universe (Adventure). When she heard Werner, she was moved to tears. Then Villela read the pianist's book Effortless Mastery, and she decided to pursue the collaboration.
The aptly titled Dreamtales is an hour-long medley of moods and styles powered by Villela's spooky five-octave range and Werner's otherworldly accompaniment. While the album is improvised, Antonio Carlos Jobim's "The Waters of March" creeps in toward the end on a piece Werner and Villela named "Tom's Waters." Villela said that the song came up in the natural course of their musical dialogue. "I knew that I didn't want to do any specific songs," she says, "but I didn't want to stop them from coming up either."
"This is real improvised music," Villela stresses. "Too often I go to concerts-I won't name any names-that are supposed to be improvised and I hear the same lines from albums back in the '80s. That is not really improvisation."
Villela grew up in Brazil surrounded by musical elders. Her parents gave her a pianola, an accordionlike instrument, when she was one year old. She went on to get a degree in music therapy from the Brazilian Conservatory in 1983. She moved to California a year later and became involved with the Stanford University Chorus and the De Anza College Jazz Singers. She also won a brief fellowship to go to New York and study with Sheila Jordan.
Villela and her musical partner Ricardo Peixoto have been active in the northern California music scene, playing regularly at Yoshi's in Oakland and at Kuumba Jazz Center in Santa Cruz. However, Villela says that much of her attention has been focused on raising her teenage daughters. While that took her away from the music scene, she's not worried. "I'll be making music until I'm very old," she laughs.

Taylor Swift's Valentine's Day Plans
Now that Taylor Swift is single again, she has some pretty simple plans for Valentine's Day.
In a radio interview with Ryan Seacrest, she said, "I'm probably going to be with my friends, or rehearsing. I'll be like, working on the lighting rig, and lighting cues. And I don't think I'd rather be anywhere else, to be honest."
It's suitable she'll be with her pals, since her upcoming single "22" is all about her friends. "I wrote it about my friends. Finally, I've got this amazing group of girlfriends. We tell each other everything, we're together all the time." The single is due out in Spring.
Swift continued to explain, "That was kind of the marker of me being 22, is like, having all these friends. There are a lot of question marks in your life, like where are you going, who are you going to meet, but the one thing that you have is each other."
The singer also responded rumors she was chasing men around to get her next boyfriend. She told Elle, "I'm sure if I looked up the latest Google Alerts rumor it would say I'm chasing somebody who doesn't like me as much as I like him - people love that angle on me. They're like 'Oh Taylor, coming on too strong again, chasing boys.' I never chase boys. They don't like it!"

Relnaros spends his time exploring the ship. He passes each room and crate, noting it in turn as he passes. As each crew member swiftly passes by his slow gait he watches intently. While he looks about the ship he looks for a spot clear of goods and gear. When finally spotting one he starts about setting up a shrine to Sarenrae. After finishing he spends time praying to her. After he finishes his prayer to his goddess he goes to the top of the deck seeking to help whomever would need it. As he does so he hopes Sarenrae's warmth fills him. The wet sea air always seems to make him feel uncomfortable being a native of the warm dry lands of Kalesh.
Here are the Eberron rules for Artificer. Lets just alter this and turn this into the new class.
Artificers have the following game statistics.
Abilities: Charisma is the most important ability for an artificer, because several of his infusions rely on his ability to make Use Magic Device checks. Intelligence is also important because it determines the effectiveness of his infusions, but it plays a lesser role than for most spell-casters. A high Dexterity improves the artificer's defensive ability.
Alignment: Any.
Hit Die: d6.
Class Skills
The artificer's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Appraise (Int), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Disable Device (Int), Knowledge (arcana) (Int), Knowledge (architecture and engineering) (Int), Knowledge (the planes) (Int), Open Lock (Dex), Profession (Wis), Search (Int), Spellcraft (Int), and Use
Magic Device (Cha).
Skill Points at 1st Level: (4 + Int modifier) × 4.
Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 4 + Int modifier.

All of the following are class features of the artificer.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Artificers are proficient with all simple weapons, with light and medium armor, and with shields (except tower shields).
Infusions: An artificer is not a spell-caster, but he does have the ability to imbue items with magical infusions. Infusions are neither arcane nor divine; they are drawn from the artificer infusion list (see Chapter 5: Magic). They function just like spells and follow all the rules for spells. For example, an infusion can be dispelled, it will not function in an anti-magic area, and an artificer must make a Concentration check if injured while imbuing an item with an infusion.
An artificer can imbue an item with any infusion from the list without preparing the infusion ahead of time. Unlike a sorcerer or bard, he does not select a subset of the available infusions as his known infusions; he has access to every infusion on the list that is of a level he can use. It is possible for an artificer to learn infusions that are not on the normal artificer infusion list. These might include ancient infusions he finds in the ruins or secret infusions known only to the members of certain guilds or organizations. When he encounters such an infusion, an artificer can attempt to learn it by making a Spellcraft check (DC 20 + spell level). If this check succeeds, he adds the infusion to his list. If not, he can try again when he gains another rank in Spellcraft, assuming he still has access to the new infusion.
To imbue an item with an infusion, an artificer must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the infusion level (Int 11 for 1st-level infusions, Int 12 for
2nd-level infusions, and so forth). Infusions never allow saving throws.
Like spell-casters, an artificer can use only a certain number of infusions of a particular level per day. His base daily infusion allotment is given on the accompanying table. In addition, he receives extra infusions per day if he has a sufficiently high Intelligence score.
An artificer's infusions can only be imbued into an item or a construct. He can not, for example, simply imbue an ally with bull's strength. He must instead imbue that ability into an item his ally is wearing. The item then functions as a belt of giant strength for the duration of the infusion. He can, however, imbue bull's strength directly on a construct or a character with the living construct subtype, and infusions such as repair light damage and iron construct function only when imbued on such characters.
Many infusions have long casting times, often 1 minute or more. An artificer can spend 1 action point to imbue any infusion in 1 round (like a spell that takes 1 round to cast).
Like a spell-caster, an artificer can apply item creation feats and meta-magic feats to his infusions. Like a sorcerer, an artificer can apply a meta-magic feat to an infusion spontaneously, but doing this requires extra time. An artificer can craft alchemical items as though he were a spell-caster.
An artificer cannot automatically use a spell trigger or spell completion item if the equivalent spell appears on his infusion list. For example, an artificer must still employ the Use Magic Device skill to use a wand of light, even though light appears on his infusion list.
Each day, an artificer must focus his mind on his infusions. He needs 8 hours of rest, after which he spends 15 minutes concentrating. During this period, the artificer readies his mind to hold his daily allotment of infusions. Without such a period of time to refresh himself, the character does not regain the infusion slots he used up the day before. Any infusions used within the last 8 hours
count against the artificer's daily limit.
Craft Reserve: An artificer receives a pool of points he can spend instead of experience points when crafting a magic item. Each time the artificer gains a new level, he receives a new craft reserve; leftover points from the previous level do not carry over. If the points are not spent, they are lost. An artificer can also use his craft reserve to supplement the XP cost of the item he is making, taking a portion of the cost from his craft reserve and a portion
from his own XP.
Artificer Knowledge: An artificer can make a special artificer knowledge check with a bonus equal to his artificer level + his Int modifier to detect whether a specific item has a magical aura.
The artificer must hold and examine the object for 1 minute. A successful check against DC 15 determines that the object has magical qualities, but does not reveal the specific powers of the item.
An artificer cannot take 10 or take 20 on this check. A particular item can only be examined in this fashion one time; if the check fails, the artificer can learn no more about that object.
Artisan Bonus: An artificer gains a +2 bonus on Use Magic Device checks to activate an item of a kind for which he has the prerequisite item creation feat. For example, an artificer who has the Craft Wand feat gains a +2 bonus on checks to use a spell from a wand.
Disable Trap: An artificer can use the Search skill to locate traps when the task has a Difficulty Class higher than 20. Finding a non-magical trap has a DC of at least 20, or higher if it is well hidden. Finding a magic trap has a DC of 25 + the level of the spell used to create the trap.
An artificer can use the Disable Device skill to disarm magic traps. Usually the DC is 25 + the level of the spell used to create the trap.
An artificer who beats a trap's DC by 10 or more with a Disable Device check can study a trap, figure out how it works, and bypass it (with his party) without
disarming it.
Item Creation (Ex): An artificer can create a magic item even if he does not have access to the spells that are prerequisites for the item. The artificer must make a successful Use Magic Device check (DC 20 + caster level) to
emulate each spell normally required to create the item. Thus, to make a 1st-level wand of magic missile, an artificer would need a Use Magic Device check result of 21 or higher. To create a bottle of air (caster level 7th), he would need a check result of 27 or higher to emulate the water breathing prerequisite.
The artificer must make a successful check for each prerequisite for each item he makes. If he fails a check, he can try again each day until the item is complete (see Creating Magic Items, page 282 of the Dungeon Master's Guide).
If he comes to the end of the crafting time and he has still not successfully emulated one of the powers, he can make one final check—his last-ditch effort, even if he has already made a check that day. If that check also fails, then the creation process fails and the time, money, and XP expended to craft the item are lost.
For purposes of meeting item prerequisites, an artificer's effective caster level equals his artificer level +2. If the item duplicates a spell effect, however, it uses the artificer's actual level as its caster level. Costs are always determined using the item's minimum caster level or the artificer's actual level (if it is higher). Thus, a 3rd-level artificer can make a scroll of fireball, since the minimum caster level for fireball is 5th. He pays the normal cost for making such a scroll with a caster level of 5th: 5 × 3 × 12.5 = 187 gp and 5 sp, plus 15 XP. But the scroll's actual caster level is only 3rd, and it produces a weak fireball that deals only 3d6 points of damage.
An artificer can also make Use Magic Device checks to emulate non-spell requirements, including alignment and race, using the normal DCs for the skill. He cannot emulate skill or feat requirements, however, including item creation feat prerequisites. He must meet the caster level prerequisite, including the minimum level to cast a spell he stores in a potion, wand, or scroll.
An artificer's infusions do not meet spell prerequisites for creating magic items. For example, an artificer must still employ the Use Magic Device skill to emulate the light spell to create a wand of light, even though light appears on his infusion list.
Bonus Feat: An artificer gains every item creation feat as a bonus feat at or near the level at which it becomes available to spell-casters. He gets Scribe Scroll as a bonus feat at 1st level, Brew Potion at 2nd level, Craft Wondrous Item at 3rd level, Craft Magic Arms and Armor at 5th level, Craft Wand at 7th level, Craft Rod at 9th level, Craft Staff at 12th level, and Forge Ring at 14th level.
In addition, an artificer gains a bonus feat at 4th level and every four levels thereafter (8th, 12th, 16th, and 20th). For each of these bonus feats, the artificer must choose a meta-magic feat or a feat from the following list: Attune Magic Weapon, Craft Construct (see the Monster Manual, page 303), Exceptional Artisan, Extra Rings, Extraordinary Artisan, Legendary Artisan, Wand Mastery.
Retain Essence (Su): At 5th level, an artificer gains the ability to salvage the XP from a magic item and use those points to create another magic item. The artificer must spend a day with the item, and he must also have the appropriate item creation feat for the item he is salvaging. After one day, the item is destroyed and the artificer adds the XP it took to create the item to his craft reserve. These points are lost if the artificer does not use them before gaining his next level.
For example, an artificer wants to retain the essence of a wand of summon monster IV that has 20 charges. Originally created (like all wands) with 50 charges, it required 840 XP when initially made, or 16.8 XP (840 ÷ 50) per charge. The artificer is able to recover the XP from the remaining charges. He puts 336 XP (16.8 × 20) into his craft reserve.
Meta-magic Spell Trigger (Su): At 6th level, an artificer gains the ability to apply a meta-magic feat he knows to a spell trigger item (generally a wand). He must have the appropriate item creation feat for the spell trigger item he is using. Using this ability expends additional charges from the item equal to the number of effective spell levels the meta-magic feat would add to a spell.
For example, an artificer can quicken a spell cast from a wand by spending 5 charges (4 additional charges), empower the spell by spending 3 charges, or trigger it silently by spending 2 charges. The Still Spell feat confers no benefit when applied to a spell trigger item.
An artificer cannot use this ability when using a spell trigger item that does not have charges, such as prayer beads.
Meta-magic Spell Completion (Su): At 11th level, an artificer gains the ability to apply a meta-magic feat he knows to a spell completion item (generally a scroll). He must have the appropriate item creation feat for the spell completion item he is using. The DC for the Use Magic Device check is equal to 20 + (3 × the modified level of the spell). For example, applying the Empower Spell feat to a scroll of cone of cold, creating a 7th-level effect, has a DC of 20 + (3 × 7), or 41. An artificer can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + his Int modifier.
Skill Mastery: At 13th level, an artificer can take 10 when making a Spellcraft or Use Magic Device check,even if stress and distractions would normally prevent him from doing so. This ability circumvents the normal rule that a character may not take 10 on a Use Magic Device check.
Feats: Attune Magic Weapon, Bind Elemental, Exceptional Artisan, Extra Rings, Extraordinary Artisan, Legendary Artisan, Wand Mastery.
Artificer Starting Gold: A 1st-level artificer begins play with 5d4 × 10 gp (average 125 gp).

It was a profitable day for young steer-bathers, hog-walkers and turkey-raisers yesterday at the Ohio State Fair's Sale of Champions.
Each exhibitor at the 46th annual auction was new to the event in the fairgrounds' Celeste Center, but the novices broke several records.
Buyers spent a record $344,700 at the auction as the fair wrapped up its 12-day run. Exhibitors received part of the cash, while the rest — a total of $267,400 this year — goes to youth scholarships and other fair programs.
"When it comes to all of our youth exhibitors, that's what it's all about," said Virgil Strickler, manager of the state fair.
The esteemed prize for grand champion steer went to Brooke Egbert of Auglaize County. Her 1,350-pound steer sold for $70,000 to Rauch Excavation & Demolition of Morrow.
Steve Rauch, president of the company, said he was excited to see how much effort kids put into raising their livestock. "It's very rewarding to see them work as hard as they do," he said.
Egbert said brushing and caring for her steer took her many hours a week. Auctioneer Johnny Regula said of Egbert and her steer, "I guarantee you, this calf has had more baths than she has."
Egbert, who earned $21,000 from the sale, said she planned to give $1,000 to the Make-A-Wish program.One record-breaker was 11-year-old Michaela Ambos' grand champion market goat. The Shelby County girl's animal sold for $20,000 to Mark and Megan Kvamme of Sunbury in Delaware County.
"The goat is just beautiful," Mr. Kvamme said. "What a special girl and a special animal."Kaci Carter of Harrison County began raising her grand champion market turkey the day after it hatched. She loved raising it.
"It's honestly one of my favorite projects," she said. Her 45-pound market turkey, one of 16 she raised this year, sold for a record $13,000, with Carter taking home $3,000.
Other records broken in this year's sale included those paid for the grand champion Swiss cheese, grand champion meat chickens, reserve grand champion market lamb and reserve grand champion barrow.
Sidni Harris of Hocking County said exercise was important in raising her 256-pound grand champion market barrow, which sold for $42,500. Harris took home $9,000.
"I've walked him almost two times a day for almost 10 minutes straight," she said of her highlight hog.
Sale of Champions
Junior Fair exhibitors' hard work paid off yesterday at the Sale of Champions auction at the Ohio State Fair, with sales totaling a record $344,700.
• Reserve grand champion market beef: $35,000, bought by Mark and Megan Kvamme of Sunbury. Exhibited by Madison Clark of Miami County.

***UPDATE! I found something I really liked to cover up the Toyota symbol in the middle. I mean, we drive a Toyota and all, but I didn't think they needed free advertising on my front door.***
I'm not quite sure that this qualifies as a treasure, but I definitely took someone's lost hubcap and made a Christmas wreath for our door. Not quite finished (needs more balls!) but for now it's hanging as my lone Christmas decoration on the house.
First off, a few things. I did not steal the hubcap. I used to collect hubcaps by the side of the road in high school. It was kind of a rite of passage or the cost of gas if someone rode in my car. I gave rides to loads of underclassmen my senior year and I think that they enjoyed leaping out of the car to snag a stray hubcap as much as I enjoyed making them do it. I think I ended up with 50 or so by the end of the year. I always meant to do something with them, but they ended up getting tossed when I went to college.
I saw this hubcap the other day and thought: Christmas wreath. I tend to be a little more traditional in my home's decor, so this is not at all what I generally like. It doesn't go with the colors I have in my home at all. This is sort of what I envisioned when I saw the hubcap, so this is where I went. Again, though--it needs more. Here's a breakdown of how I made it, though it was so simple, I'm not sure you need me to explain.
[Be aware the colors from the next photos inside at night are much different than the first, which was outside in the day.]
Again, this is a total departure for my normal Christmas, but I kind of love it. I will add more to it and maybe something in the middle so I'm not just advertising Toyota. But what a fun way to turn junk into something pretty and useful!

High Pt. gets away from same-old, same-old
October 28, 2002-- Home Textiles Today,
Fabrics and fabric-oriented products were the big story at the International Home Furnishings Show here last week.
The most notable part of the story was the definite revival of prints. These were not your everyday, run-of-the-mill textiles. They were the spectacular, the limited editions. They were the documents that said they were right for today; that said 'Don't come to market with same-old, same-old print stuff — or any other same-old stuff.'
As the market continues to segue to other covers like leather, microfibers (real or faux) and exotics, like alpaca, cashmere and Merino wool, there are parts of the business that are off limits to the mainstream folks.
The print world featured revisionist looks of the '50s, '60s and '70s as well as classic documents. And in the new color palette, the designs look fresher than ever.
Over the past couple of markets, it looked like there was some respite from the chenille invasion of the home furnishings market. Truth was, it was only the beginning.
In this month's market the fabric story exploded with color.
Specifically, hot colors, pale pastels — nothing without character and substance.
Color direction was typified by the whole reach of the orange family. It could be orange sherbet or pale bronze, but the family relationships still are evident.
Then there are the blues. Crisp and clean, with no pussy-footing and nothing hiding behind a screen.
Then there was plethora of stripes and plaids, and an abundance of florals were current in terms of tossing on their grounds and in special details.
Also big were texture, dimension and sensual and tactile constructions. There was lots of soft stuff, both in terms of fiber and finishings.
It's amazing what can happen when new approaches are designed.

Rated 3.7 out of 5�by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by murphy66 Great look and feel I have worked in these shoes for one year and still get compliments on how they look. They still look like new and I am about to purchase a new pair due to I feel they have lost some cushioning. They are comfortable right out of the box and are lightweight. They have great arch support and a wide toe box which I love. June 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Doghiker Awesome! I have been exclusively wearing Merrell shoes for many years now and know they make a superior product. I work 12 hour shifts on concrete and finding a comfortable shoe that I can wear to work AND wear hiking over rough terrain on off days has been extremely difficult. I am so happy I gave these a try! They seem to have a wider toe base than most and fit my feet like a glove. Absolutely perfect to wear every day, for work and for play! Thanks for a superior product! November 21, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Lovescruises Poorly Made I couldn't wait to receive these shoes. I received them in record time. As soon as I tried them on I knew they were junkily made. What a let down for I was so excited to get these. Sadly I returned them to the nearest Dicks and I was able to purchase a different pair of Merrell's that were much better. For what these shoes cost they were grossly overpriced for the workmanship. October 27, 2014

Capturing the stories of Hurricane Sandy's survivors
For survivors of Hurricane Sandy in Long Beach, N.Y., the stories have become familiar by now, riveting in spite of — or perhaps because of — their similarities. Deciding not to evacuate, because Tropical Storm Irene was not so bad. Watching the water rise and rise and rise. Losing cars, basements, then more. Spending weeks at a relative's home.They are all variations on a theme of fear and suffering, of water and darkness, and Mary Anne Trasciatti wants to hear every one of them.

Snowy Sheep! Plus, my new favorite game
We have been getting a crazy amount of snow this winter. I'm not complaining–except for Christmas, ours has been fairly moderate and steady–we've had nothing like the 2 feet dumped on DC last weekend–and it's been pretty and slow-melting. It's been fun watching the sheep grazing through and frolicking in the snow.
And I don't know if it's just the cold, but their fleeces look delicious. I had to move Fudgy up to a bigger blanket yesterday–not because she needed it, but because my only spare was a size 4 and Honeybunch had pretty much destroyed his size 2, so I wanted to swipe her 3 to swap with his rags. In the process, I got a peek at her incredibly luscious, pristine fleece. With the new hay bunk, maybe next year, the unblanketed portions of their fleece will be almost as clean (though still dirty and weathered). I washed her old jacket (above) last night and I'll be patching it up before replacing Uncle Honeybunch's disaster (below).
(Here they are under all that fleece, just for reference!)
Speaking of cleaner fleeces, the fabulous new hay bunk for the sheepies arrived yesterday! At first, only the youngsters got it and all the grownup sheep didn't seem to know what to make of it. I snipped out some of the crossbars in the grid to make bigger gaps for bigger noses (I'm looking over at you, Fudgy). I'm really digging the new setup. For one, I can already tell there's going to be WAY less waste. With the open bunk, they could knock out and trample a whole flake with no effort, and so far with this one, they can only pull out about what they're eating. I'm guessing they'll cut their hay by almost half–that's about how much was ending up underfoot before. And with this feeder, there's no way for them to mash their heads deep into the bales (and the hay deep into their fleeces), one of their favorite pastimes. Plus having two separate troughs that are visually divided by the hay bunk makes for way less shoving and bullying when it's time for grain. By contrast, they seem almost polite. Gasp! Delightful!
So my new favorite game is to watch an episode of Hoarders and then go organize something for an hour.
I'm not typically keen on reality shows, even the real-life voyeuristic ones, but Rachel turned me on to that completely heartbreaking and addictive train wreck of a show and I must say it's the biggest gorram cautionary tale I ever did meet. Watching it makes me feel equal parts understanding and relief. Just a hair's breadth more crazy and I'm there.
Actually, for the last 4 months before I moved to Harveyville, when all my stuff was packed up and stacked to the ceiling in my living room and den (lunatic collections take up a LOT more space in bubble wrap and peanuts than they do all clustered adorably on shelves everywhere) and you had to maze your way through, fighting for space with two deranged, shedding dogs–one of whom required a labyrinth of rugs because she was old and couldn't negotiate the slippery wood floors–I was those poor folks. If I hadn't known it was just a temporary state, then the alarm and horror on the face of everyone who came into my house would have made me ashamed and depressed instead of amused and sheepish. Even now, with no excuses, if it weren't for my excessive space here and our guests, I could easily seep into the crazy. I can totally relate.
Right now, half of my office totally looks like an episode of Hoarders. I dragged everything out of my "storage closet" (ahem–aka, where I shove everything when I'm sick of my office looking like an episode of Hoarders) so I could get to my filing cabinet at the back of it to look up my washing machine's warranty info (it's still under warranty! hurrah!), and I decided to leave the overflowing boxes out over my office because I didn't want to just cram it all back in there, Fibber Magee and Molly-fashion. But I have a feeling I'm going to jam it all back in tonight, because I've still got bigger fish to fry and I'd just as soon not sprain my ankle hopping over stuff in the meantime.
This topic is very much on my mind right now because one of my uberlist goals is to work through One Year to an Organized Life. I'm a little behind, thanks to my vacation, but I am making really marvelous progress on my kitchen (January) and respectable progress on my bedroom (February) while also attacking another Uberlist goal, to sort through a box of crap from the storage room each week. Although with the size of this place and the scope of my crap, the time allowances in One Year to an Organized Life are just adorable. I'm working at about 10X the recommended time for everything beyond simple list-making.
My big issues are my craft stuff, my collections (most of which I've never even unpacked because they need homes first & I have neither mad carpentry skills, piles of money, nor access to an IKEA) and the fucking recycling. You city dwellers don't know how lucky you are. Years of living in Austin, with breezy single-stream recycling, conditioned me to recycle. Now, despite how inconvenient it is, I simply can not not recycle. But there's no pickup in the sticks, so recycling means accumulating and constantly maintaining and organizing tons of crap and hauling said crap off to the recycling center (which on principle, I have to combine with another trip, of course). It just never freaking ends.
The one thing I am capable of keeping perennially organized is my stash. Here are some pictures of my stash from a craftzine profile. I'll photograph new organizational oases as they arise from the chaos. These are in a corner of my bedroom, the former Mathematics room. It's about the only part of my bedroom I like right now.

Oh my goodness, the sheep are so splindly without their fleeces, and Honeybunch looks like a popped corn ;-)
And I love that cabinet of yours! That might be the trick to making organizing more pleasurable I suppose, If it ends up looking pretty (and not just organized). The book that helped me plan the lay out and storage places in our new house is 'Storage' (no surprise there ;->) from Terence Conran. Good tips for displaying collections too!

Oh, I just caught about ten minutes of "Hoarders" and saw myself!!! Eik! I started cleaning out my computer/weaving room right away. To the uneducated eye I'm sure it doesn't look any different . . . sigh . . .
February 10th, 2010 at 12:14 pm
Those sheep photos are adorable! Yes, hoarders makes me feel like hiring a dumpster and parking it in front of my house, but what would my DD and DH do without all their stuff? At least I'd have more room for MINE!
February 19th, 2010 at 10:39 am
I wanted to wish you well in working through One Year to an Organized Life. I also had to tell you how very dear the sheep are! I am a total animal lover and those faces took my heart. If you ever want to ask me a question about any aspect of the book or organizing in general, please feel free to write to me!
February 19th, 2010 at 12:37 pm
Thanks so much, Regina! What a treat to have you visit! (FYI: Regina's the author of One Year to an Organized Life, my guidebook to getting a grip on my clutter.) Though I'm behind because of the scope of my stuff, I'm really staying motivated and making serious progress. My kitchen is almost there, and I've cleaned up my bedroom that's been like a frat house for over a year. I'm almost ready to tackle my closets.

That gorgeous cabinet filled with all your lovely yarn makes me swoon!

Applied Ethical Statistics & Mathematics Course
A standard mathematics curriculum rarely encourages students to link math with history, politics or literature. That gap communicates a not-so-subtle message that math is basically irrelevant outside of math classes, a career as a scientist or mathematician, or commercial transactions. Such "numbers numbness" has its roots in the way math is generally segregated from current events.
To have more than a surface understanding of important social and political issues, knowledge of mathematics is essential. Without math, it is impossible to fully understand a government budget, the impact of a war, or the meaning of a national debt. Similarly, it would be impossible to grasp the influence of advertising on children or the level of pollutants in the water, air, and soil around us. In fact, contemporary society is filled with political, economic, and cultural issues deeply rooted in mathematical ideas. For UA graduates to have more than a surface understanding of these important issues, students must learn how mathematics skills and concepts can be used to evaluate and critique the institutional structures of our society. Civic engagement should be nurtured in all educational settings, including mathematics classrooms.
With the generous support of both the Statistics and Mathematics departments, the development of an Applied Ethical Statistics and Mathematics course is underway. The class will encourage students to seriously consider the social and ethical consequences of how math and statistics are used (and not used) in society. Students will be taught how statistics and math can be used to understand society by using calculations to follow and verify the logic of certain arguments, to restate information, and to understand how raw data is collected and transformed into numerical descriptions of the world. The purpose underlying all calculations is to critically analyze information, to recognize possible bias in the selection of numbers and operations, and to consider the ethical implications on society of such manipulation. By developing the curriculum around a series of intriguing case studies, we hope to show how numbers come to bear on daily society as well as the important, justice-based problems of economics, public policy, and sociology.
As students develop a deeper understanding of the social and ecological problems that our society faces, we also hope that students will recognize the importance of acting on their beliefs.
Course development will be completed by the end of the Spring 2007 semester, and will be offered for the first time in Spring 2008. It is expected that this course will eventually be offered as an alternative to MA 110 credit, which many UA students take as their one required math course under the general undergraduate curriculum.

Lumberland sets info session on zoning rewrite
Paper copies are available at the town hall in Glen Spey.
In other matters, the town board awarded plaques at its meeting on July 13 to Ann Stiemle and Don "Bosco" Hunt Jr. in recognition of their heroic lifesaving efforts on the cliffs near the Hawk's Nest last summer (see www.riverreporteron line.com/news/14/2011/06/15/lumberland-duo-recognized-high-risk-rescue), and thanked its highway and fire departments and constabulary for their outstanding work during the recent storms and holiday parade.
Lumberland fire chief Eric Robles and ambulance lieutenant Faith Robles, who were asked to assist during a recent parade in Port Jervis, were able to provide life-sustaining care for a man who suffered cardiac arrest near them.
The Lumberland Fire Department has responded to more than 170 emergency calls this year. It will conduct its Chicken Barbecue Fundraiser on July 30, from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Lumberland Firehouse, to raise funds to offset the costs of an expensive tool needed to cut through a new type of metal being used in cars now.
Kadampa Meditation Center announced that it will host the International Buddhist Festival, which is expected to bring 1,500 to 2,000 people to the Glen Spey facility on October 7 through 13. Anyone who can potentially provide housing to participants should contact the center at 845/856-9000.

Kids & Fun!
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few weeks, you've probably heard that we're in the midst of a flu epidemic in this country -- and we still have a couple months to go before the season peaks.
And in addition to the flu, there are a whole host of other nasty bugs floating around out there. Like many parents I know, I'm getting sick and tired of my kid bringing home all sorts of funky ailments from school.
Right before the Christmas break this year, I attended a holiday concert at my son's elementary school. And while I was sitting there trying to enjoy the music, I found myself being distracted, shocked, and appalled over how many kids were hacking up a lung, sneezing all over the place, and who looked flushed, feverish, and miserable.
And the only thought that kept running through my mind was, "What the hell is wrong with their parents? Why are they sending them to school sick?"
Yes, you heard me right. I'm judging parents who send their kids to school sick. And I'm not talking about kids who have allergies, or a little sniffle, or maybe a slight cough from a cold they just can't seem to shake.
I'm referring to the kids who are visibly (and audibly) sick -- with fevers, flu, or some sort of infection that obviously needs to be treated with antibiotics and a ton of rest.
Parents who send sick kids to school are the reason our healthy kids are getting sick -- and it's just not fair. And I honestly can't understand why they are sending their kids to school when they're sick, but I'm guessing it's because they're either selfish, lazy, or just plain careless. Or a combination of all three.
My son has been sick with every bug under the sun since the school year started in September, and I'm positive that school is to blame. He's had the stomach bug. He's had a sinus infection and horrible cough. And right after school let out for the holiday break, he was diagnosed with the flu. (And then of course, I caught the flu from him, which has taken me over a week to get over.)
And just this morning, he woke up a bit congested and sniffly, so I'm really not getting my hopes up about him remaining germ-free for the rest of the year. You know what else? I'm 100 percent confident that if I went over to his school right this second, I'd be greeted with the sounds of plenty of coughs, clearing-of-throats, and sneezes.
And it HAS to stop.
Parents, please, PLEASE stop sending your children to school when they are sick. You're making life unnecessarily miserable for the rest of us who do the right thing by keeping them home when they're ill -- even if it means having to scramble to rearrange our busy schedules.
Take them to the doctor. Let them rest and sleep on the couch all day. I don't care what you do -- just don't send them to school to infect my kid. (I'm begging you.)
How sick do you think is "too sick" to go to school?

If my kid sounds like she has a phlegm cough..she stays home. She's adhd so it she was hacking and coughing not only would she disturb others, she'd disturb herself, and probably not be too darn productive that day anyway, I say keep em home.
by sheena696January 13, 2013 at 8:16 AM
When my son has a fever and has that "look" I know he is too sick to go to school. When my son gets sick, he gets pretty pale and I can just tell that he doesn't feel good.
by hcdeubof3January 13, 2013 at 10:37 AM
Oh boy...this one irks me because I have gone around with the nurse at school. My oldest gets a nasty sounding cough every time he gets a cold. The pedi thinks it might be asthma related and brought on by colds, but there is really nothing that can be done. If he has a fever I keep him home, otherwise he is at school. The reason being is that if I keep him at home he is bunching off the wall and. No reason he can't learn. I'm also not one who is in favor of constant antibiotics. Yes they are good, but our bodies need a chance too. And kids are Petri dishes they need to get sick in order to build up an immune system. It is our job as parents to teach good hygiene. Ok...I'm off my soapbox now

January 13, 2013 at 10:44 AMIn my daycare these are the rules:
24 hrs must pass after the last diarrhea or throw up episode and fever breaking WITHOUT fever reducing meds.

After creating a gigantic wooden statue that possesses hundreds or thousands of hands, the user utilises all of these hands simultaneously to deliver powerful blows to the target. Due to the sheer volume of the punches involved, defending against the entirety of them is nearly impossible. This can be used as a one-shot technique, increasing its destructive power but also resulting in the hands behind the statue's back being destroyed. Afterwards, Hashirama discards the back of the statue to increase the mobility of the True Several Thousand Hands statue. It can also be used more conservatively as seen in Tobi's usage, preventing the hands from being destroyed and enabling another usage of the technique, but results in less destructive power.
"Kebutsu" (化仏, Literally meaning: Transformed Buddha) depicts the manifestation of a Nyorai that has transformed into another body, represented alongside an associated Buddha or bodhisattva. In practical terms, this means a smaller Buddhist image attached to a larger one.
Such depictions serve as an example of the many forms Buddhist deities can assume in order to save sentient beings. They are found most notably within the statues of Kannon, where a small image of Amida is placed atop Kannon's crown or held in the hands of Thousand-Armed Kannon.
- In Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution, Hashirama is shown able to perform a small-scale version of this technique from his own body. Also, through his Several Thousand Hands, his fists can break off and rain down like meteors onto the target.

I have been instructed to build a program which will listen to a telephone line, receive touch tone information, and record that information in a database.
I desire that this be implemented in the J2EE architecture, using a servlet to listen for the input.
The question I have is what would be the best alternatives for actually communicating with the telephone itself.
My google research has revealed that the most likely possibility would be an interface with SIP . At least, J2EE + SIP returns more than a million hits.
Another possible protocol would be JTAPI, especially the GJTAPI open source implementation.
There are other technologies discussed on the web -- Jain, JCC, Parlay -- but these seem to be obscure or unused.
I therefore believe J2EE + SIP will allow me to get my application in the least amount of developer time , as well as being maintainable and not being a dead end technology that time has swept by. My second choice would be JTAPI.
So ... the reason I'm here is to get a second opinion. Have I made some ghastly mistake? Is there some other, better solution out there? Am I missing any facts?
Many thanks for any assistance you can offer.

I am not a Bollig hater, but I do however have a problem with him playing every game this season. So, maybe he is a good guy (his tweets say otherwise, and he is obviously listening to the "sheep"), and brings energy to the locker room or something. Then pay him to sit in the locker room. He just isn't up to this level of play.
The 2 players in question this whole year and especially in the playoffs has been Zus and Bollig.
IMO, starting Handzus on the 2nd line between Kane and Sharp could be the difference maker in that the Kings 2nd line eats them up. Zus has been killing the offense up top, playing lazy 5-on-5 in both ends, and Sharp has been playing like he is injured. Playing him is in no way justified by the few PK blocks he makes. IMO, Regin would be even better on the kill. If Zus has to play, then I say they drop him to 4th between 2 hard and smart skaters get your match-ups, and roll the top 3 more than average switching Zus' wingers up top every once and while to get more ice. The right answer of course is not playing him at all and rolling 4 lines. I will never understand why Q puts Bollig in and then gives him 2 minutes of ice time. When Nordstrom is in, he plays close to 10 minutes? Q obviously doesn't trust Bollig, so why have him in? Coaching could be their demise in this series as it has almost been in the past two. I say the home team wins the first 4 and the rest is up for grabs.

I get to overwhelmed by it all and end up buying nothing
I allow myself to really feel India. The smells, the colors, the smiles on peoples faces, the beautiful buildings and most of all the incredible depth of the Indian peoples hearts. They might be intense, persistent, loud and annoyingly curious asking a million questions but if there is one thing that the Indians have- it is passion and it is Love. I mean, how else can over 1,3 billion people live side by side in Peace under such extreme conditions that India is facing? I now switch my not-approachable-get-away-from-me look and let down my guard a little and smile. I decide to say YES. The first man I pass on the street says -"Madam, I give you good hand job". At first I ignore but then I remember to say yes. Turns out I just agreed on having my palm read.
What happened right there, on the sidewalk of Mahatma Gandhi Road, was quite spectacular to say the least
On my way to the airport my taxi driver asks me if I will return to India, and before I even think about it I answer that of course I will return. I love India. I love it's people. I love the fact that I have the opportunity to travel the World and explore it's culture and it's people. Nothing makes me feel more alive than being on the road. What else makes you come to terms with your deepest fears and your biggest strengths? When else do you step out of your comfort zone? Make new friends? Try something you always wanted to do? What else makes you feel more alive? To do a solo trip reminds you who you truly are, and maybe it will show you who you will become.
Peace, Love & A Good Hand Job
Yours Truly

Denver Crushes Hamilton in Battle of Unbeatens
from staff reports
DENVER — The Denver Outlaws remain the only undefeated team in Major League Lacrosse after a 22-9 victory over the Hamilton Nationals at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver, Colo., Saturday night.
Brendan Mundorf, Eric Law, Drew Snider and Zack Greer each notched four goals in Denver's win. Mundorf, Snider and Greer also added three, two and one assists, respectively.
"We've been pretty consistent," Denver coach Jim Stagnitta said. "It was a big game. [The team] prepared hard the night before the game. These guys are pretty focused. They're on a mission. They want to get back to that championship game, and they want to bring a championship back here.
"Every game is important to them, and certainly winning six in a row is a big accomplishment at this point, and our goal is to get to nine as quickly as we can and solidify ourselves in the playoffs."
The Outlaws took the early lead with a couple of early goals for Greer and Mundorf. Kevin Crowley scored the lone Hamilton goal in the first quarter in a man-up situation. Crowley's goal from Cody Jamieson counted this game as his 21st consecutive game with a point. Snider scored his first of the game to close the quarter out 5-1 in favor of Denver.
The second quarter was the closest for the teams. The Nationals opened up the scoring 21 seconds into the period with a Josh Hawkins goal from Matt Dolente. The Outlaws responded with goals from Snider and Mundorf within a minute of each other. Powerplay goals from Bocklet and Snider pushed Denver out to a 9-2 lead before a response from Joe Walters with just under seven minutes to play in the half. Greer notched another goal, but Crowley and Garrett Thul, in his first MLL appearance, each scored with under a minute to go in the half to cut the Hamilton deficit to five.
Eric Law, in his rookie debut and MVP performance, scored his first of four goals off an assist from Matt Bocklet 18 seconds into the third quarter while Denver was two men down.
"It's fun," Law said after his MLL debut. "I really enjoy the game. It's really fast-paced, and I love the nonstop up-and-down. As an offensive player, I can't help but love it."
Goals from Crowley and Thul could not overcome the Denver onslaught. Jeremy Boltus and Mundorf each grabbed a goal, and two scores from Chris Bocklet and three more from Law extended Denver's lead to 18-7 after three quarters.
Hamilton scored the first and final goals of the fourth quarter with unassisted efforts from Thul and Crowley. The Outlaws notched four more in the final frame with goals from Terry Kimener, Justin Turri, Greer and Snider to reach the final score of 22-9.
Denver dominated possession with Anthony Kelly winning 20 faceoffs. Jesse Schwartzman and Charlie Ciprianocombined for 14 saves for the Outlaws. Brett Queener made 10 saves for the Nationals before Brent Herbst entered the contest for the fourth quarter.
"We're just kind of firing on all cylinders right now," Kelly said. "Our offense is clicking and playing well together and taking advantage of man-up opportunities. Our defense is locking down. Anytime we hold a team under 10 is awesome. Defense is doing their job, offense is doing their job, it's a fun time to be playing around."
Hamilton stays on the road as it visits the New York Lizards (2-4) on Thursday, June 13 in Randall's Island, N.Y. The contest will be live on ESPN3. Denver travels to Annapolis, Md., on Saturday, June 15, to face the 4-2 Bayhawks in Annapolis, Md., in a matchup that will be televised on CBS Sports Network.

Live updates
Met Police 'does not have convincing case' for water cannon
A London Assembly report has found that the Metropolitan Police has failed to make a "convincing case" for buying three water cannon.
The police and crime committee says that, with no specific intelligence of disorder, it is unclear why there is a "rush" to get them.
London Mayor Boris Johnson is consulting on plans to pay up to £100,000 each for three second-hand water cannon from Germany.
The Met has said the water cannon would be "rarely seen and rarely used" and it claims to have public support for the idea.
The vehicles have been used in Northern Ireland but they are not currently authorised in mainland Britain.
The home secretary must approve their introduction in England and Wales.
Experts quizzed over flood risk to capital
The Environment Committee will quiz London Assembly experts and the Environment Agency today about whether the capital is sufficiently equipped to deal with future rising water levels and flood threats.
Experts from the Environment Agency, the National Flood Florum and the London Assembly will answer questions on the sustainability of London's flood defences and the capital's readiness to react in an emergency.
Second day of talks over water cannon
Mayor Boris Johnson's controversial plans to allow the Metropolitan Police to purchase water cannon will come under scrutiny at City Hall for a second day.
Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley and Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime Stephen Greenhalgh will appear before the Assembly today to answer questions on the Mayor's proposals.
Chair of the Police and Crime Committee Joanne McCartney AM said: "Met Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe has said water cannon in London would be 'rarely used and rarely seen'. We have yet to hear a convincing case for when and how they would improve safety for all on London's streets."
Boris's budget criticised
The London Assembly budget committee will discuss aspects of the Mayor's draft budget for 2014/15 today.
Labour has criticised the Mayor for failing to address London's "cost of living crisis", claiming that his proposed cut of the Mayoral council tax precept is meaningless compared to the impending rise in travel tickets.
Report: London's economy suffering because jobs market doesn't cater for parents
London's economy is missing out on skills because parents - particularly women - are poorly served by the capital's labour market, which often forces them into lower-paid, less secure part-time jobs, the London Assembly has claimed today.
A new paper from the Assembly's Economy Committee says a lack of affordable flexible childcare is also hindering parents from working in the capital. The Committee claims this represents a waste of a significant proportion of London's skilled workforce.
Plebgate has damaged Metropolitan Police, says chief
The head of Scotland Yard admitted his force has been damaged by the Plebgate controversy but defended his own handling of the affair.
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan Howe said there was "no doubt some damage had been done".
He also insisted crime statistics were "generally sound" despite investigations into serious allegations that officers are manipulating them to improve performance records.
One officer is being prosecuted and eight face disciplinary action in the wake of the row over claims - which he disputes - that the then cabinet minister Andrew Mitchell called officers "plebs".
Sir Bernard said soon after the incident that his officers "accurately reported what had happened".
London Assembly to question Police Commissioner
The London Assembly Police and Crime Committee will question the Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe on the work of the Metropolitan police later today.
Deputy Commissioner Craig Mackey and Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime Stephen Greenhalgh will also appear.
Crime statistics and student protests are just two of the subjects to be discussed at the meeting.
Olympic legacy plans threatened by 'funding gap'
Regeneration activities planned for the Olympic Park site will only be able to go ahead if millions of pounds of additional funding is set aside, according to a report published today.
The report from the London Assembly's Regeneration Committee warns that community events could be cut if extra funding is not secured.
It argues that the Mayor should set aside at least £12m more funding for the London Legacy Development Corporation between 2015 and 2017 to ensure the planned activities go ahead.
Report out today on London's 'lawless roads'
A report published today from London Assembly Green Party member Jenny Jones outlines key reforms that could make London's roads safer for pedestrians and cyclists.
The proposals call for authorities to assume injured pedestrians or cyclists deserve compensation unless it can be proved otherwise.
It also calls for the laws to be adjusted to encourage greater use of driving bans for longer durations.
'Extra moorings needed' on London's waterways
Extra moorings are needed on the capital's waterways to deal with an influx of new boat owners.
That's according to a London Assembly report which says more needs to be done to help stop overcrowding as more cash-strapped Londoners turn to a life on the water.

Special Olympics
The biggest sporting event of 2011, the Special Olympics celebrates a homecoming of sorts this year with events being held in Athens, the ancient home of athletic excellence and sportsmanship. Held throughout the city, the event crowns every competitor a winner. The Special Olympics aims to create a world that celebrates the inclusion of all rather than one that excludes those who are different. While participants compete for the glory of first place in individual events, the competition as a whole is seen as a shared victory for their struggle for a broader appreciation of their diversity and special abilities.
Held over two weeks the event draws 7,500 Special Olympics athletes from 185 nations and sees competition take place across 22 Olympic-type sports. The event has grown in size and stature since its 1968 foundation by American woman Eunice Kennedy Shriver.
This year's event takes on an added poignancy as it's the first Special Olympics to take place following her death in 2009, but her enduring commitment to the advancement and acceptance of all members of society remains a core value of the Games themselves.

The story of B.Malaysia dragonfly should begin with its singular form, "patung". Patung is a very cute toy.
Usually, patung-patung means more than one doll.
Another meaning for patung-patung is a kind of cute insect, the dragonfly. Some people are good at making dragonfly artwork. Sometimes a dragonfly craft like this napkin holder can be regarded as a toy by a kid.
Let's see...one dragonfly toy - Satu patung patung-patung.
Two dragonfly toys - Dua patung patung-patung.
Oh dear! The words to describe two dragonfly toys are too cumbersome in Bahasa Malaysia. Fortunately, there is a way to write the first part of patung-patung as a short form, pepatung.
Let's try again. Patung pepatung. That's easier, eh? Other names for dragonfly in duplicated forms are : sibar-sibar and sibur-sibur.
To review, We learn four duplicated terms for dragonfly in B. Malaysia
1. patung-patung
2. pepatung
3. sibar-sibar
4. sibur-sibur
Patung-patung and pepatung are more common than the latter two.

Another Hello from northern KY
Hello, all. It took me a while to figure out how to start a new thread (duh! - little button that says "new thread"). Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Mike Arnold, 66 (tonight at midnight), flyfishing for 30+ years, founded Northern Kentucky Fly Fishers in 1987, am just now stepping back from helping to run NKFF ... need a rest. Helped Fred Stevenson get FFF South Eastern Council started in 1991, still working for them - currently VP-Communications (web-site and Watermark Newsletter). Love flyfishing (especially for muskie), my wife, my 9-year old daughter and my Mother-In-Law ... not necessarily in that order. Don't get to fish enough ... never been so busy since I retired in 2002. I build fly-rods, wooden nets, flies, rod-cases (of pvc and of aromatic cedar). I also teach others how to do all those things too. Learned from an old-timer from Buckeye United Fly Fishers in 1979 and he taught that I would get back ten times whatever I gave to this sport. Red was so right about that. Flyfishing is filled with good people, beautiful places and fish, and adventures beyond my wildest dreams. I thank Red every day for that. Over the years I've done trout and salmon, lost of warmwater sport fish (including bass, bream, catfish, carp, drum, walleye and gar) and lots of saltwater species on Florida's west coast. Nice to meet you all ... hope I can be of some help to others. And I promise I'll sign on more often.

I can't show you the actual app I was working on because I'm under NDA, but I've created a sample project that shows the problem using a really ugly background image. Notice the black around the corners of the group sections:
It took me a while to figure out why this was happening, but with a little crowd-source debugging thanks to Twitter, I've narrowed the culprit down. Even though you can clearly see in the first picture that the table view's background color has been set to clearColor in Interface Builder, that setting is either not being respected, or is being changed somewhere. Now, I'm using stock elements here - no custom views at all - so I know I'm not changing it.
My original fix for this was rather involved, but after a process of elimination where I kept commenting out bits of the fix and and seeing what impact it had, I was able to remove all of the code of my fix except for this line of code:
- (void)viewDidLoad
Turns out all the other parts were red herrings leftover from my various attempts to fix the problem. So, if you're having this problem, just manually re-set the table view's background color to clearColor and you should be good.
(and yes, I'm going to file a bug report now)

BOSTON (CBS) — There's yet another congressional committee hearing into the I-R-S fiasco going on today in Washington, the third in the past four workdays.
And maybe, some day off in the distant future, we'll have a full accounting of exactly what happened, why it happened, who knew or didn't know about it, when they knew, and so on.
Listen to Jon's commentary:
In the meantime, we are left to rely on our common sense.
It seems that's a lot easier for the protagonists in this case.
I went down to Government Center yesterday to report on an anti-IRS protest by local Tea Party activists, and talked with a grandmother from Brookline who said she was there to help preserve the America she knew "as an immigrant…[a place] for freedom of speech. Now we have to be afraid to talk, afraid of what people think of us."
Moments later, an IRS employee pulled me aside and told me the protestors were crazy, that the real villain was the new campaign finance laws that opened the door to tax-exempt status for political groups that didn't deserve to have it.
Both of these people were going with their gut, and rallying around their own flags. And I suspect there may be some truth in what both of them are saying.
Most government workers that I've ever met are not raging ideologues, or even harsh partisans. They mostly leave the attack politics to the politicians.
But the Tea Party woman is not delusional. There is very little the pols in power won't do to cement their hold, and so far the administration's explanations of what happened are as permanent as a Cape Cod sand dune.
Final judgment should probably be reserved until all the facts are in, but common sense should tell you this is not headed for a happy ending.

I hate to say I told you all so, but no president, regardless of who won, was going to do anything different. This was always going to happen like this.
This whole Iraq thing has been about two things..
1. the oil
2. strategic base in this area

MORRIS PARK - A Morris Park bakery is putting its own spin on the 'cronut,' the hot new pastry that got its start in Manhattan.
Enrico's Pastry Shop is now selling its own take on the cronut, which is a cross between a croissant and a donut. Owner Joseph Floriano calls them 'Jolie's Cronies,' named in honor of his 4-year-old daughter, Jolie. Enrico's has cronuts available in 14 flavors, including Boston creme and Nutella.
Floriano says he started selling them last month and the bakery sells up to 1,000 cronuts a week.
