An impressive 87% of the online population visited a retail site in November as the holiday season began, according to [download page] the latest data from the comScore Media Metrix. After holding down 3 of the top 10 fastest-growing site categories in October, retail site categories represented a dominant 9 of the top 10 in November, led by toys sites (+30% to 23.9 million unique visitors) and consumer electronics sites (+29% to 59.7 million unique visitors).
The other retail site categories making the top-10 fastest-growing list were:
The only non-retail site category to find its way into the top 10 fastest-gaining list was the lotto and sweepstakes category (#6), which attracted 20% more visitors, driven largely by a massive 411% jump for Powerball.com due to the highest Powerball jackpot in history.
Toysrus Sites led the toys category for the second consecutive month with 12.4 million visitors, up 54% from 8.1 million in October. The LEGO Group came in second again with 3.8 million (up 34% from 2.8 million), ahead of Disney Shopping with 2 million (up 11%), AmericanGirl.com with 1.9 million (up 60%), and Fisher Price with 1.3 million (up 28%). All 5 retained their rankings from October.
BestBuy.com ranked as the category leader among consumer electronics sites with 59.7 million visitors, up 90% month-over-month. Samsung Group came in second with 5.4 million visitors (up 22%), followed by eBay Electronics US with 5.2 million visitors (up 14%). RadioShack Corporation doubled its traffic to come in fourth with 4.4 million, ahead of Buy.com Group Sites at 4.1 million.
Google Sites, as usual, ranked #1 among the leading web properties in November with 190.8 million unique visitors, up slightly from 189.7 million in October. Yahoo! Sites (171.4 million) remained slightly ahead of Microsoft Sites (171.38 million) for the second spot, with Facebook the 4th most-visited site again, with 148.6 million unique visitors. Amazon rounded out the top 5, with 116 million visitors, edging out AOL (115.1 million).
Other retail properties moving up the rankings included Walmart (#18), Target (#28), Best Buy Sites (#31) and Sears Sites (#43).
The year's top web properties, according to Experian and Nielsen, can be found here.
Meanwhile, comScore data indicates that among syndicated Ad Focus entities, ShareThis retained its hold on the top spot with a reach of 95.3% of Americans online, up from 94.6% in October. Google reached 83.8% of the 220 million Americans online, taking the second spot, followed by Outbrain (81.1%), Yahoo! Sites (77.7%), and Facebook (67.4%). Each of the top 5 save for Facebook increased its reach on a month-over-month basis.
Among ad networks and buy-side networks, Google Ad Network was first again with 94.2% reach, followed by Specific Media (86.7%), AOL Advertising (85.1%), Federated Media Publisher Network (84.5%), and AT&T AdWorks (84.5%).
Among DSPs, SSPs and ad exchanges, Rubicon Project REVV Platform reached 97% of Americans online, virtually unchanged from the previous month.

220.127.116.11. Upgrading from Opsview Core
184.108.40.206. RHEL Installation (Software Repositories)
126.96.36.199.2. Red Hat Network Repositories

184.108.40.206.1. Opsview Software Repositories
3.4. Installing Opsview Monitor Slaves
18.104.22.168.1. Automated Installation
Opsview has a nightly housekeeping job, invoked from cron, that runs at 03:11 evey night. This includes backups.
The scope of the backups is to be able to restore a system as soon as possible on the same (or similar) hardware and operating system.
You will need to design your own backup strategies for long term archival of data.
A cronjob for the nagios user will be present on the master server called
rc.opsview cron_daily. This runs daily housekeeping tasks, including the backing up of various parts of Opsview.
Note: The backup should reside on a different disk/filesystem to /usr/local/nagios, otherwise there is no redundancy at this level. You will also want the backup transferred to another server, to provide redundancy in a server failure.
Long term data is not necessarily backed up. See below section 'Data not covered by nightly backup' for more details of data that should be backed up by local policy.
There are backup variables in opsview.defaults:
$backup_dir # which directory to store the backups. Default ''/usr/local/nagios/var/backups'' $backup_retention_days # number of days worth of backups to keep. Default 30
Note: All files older than
$backup_retention_days within
$backup_dir are removed, not just opsview backups.
You can invoke an adhoc backup by running as the nagios user:
/usr/local/nagios/bin/rc.opsview backup
The Opsview configuration database is backed up. It is also backed up after every reload.
The Reports database is backed up.
From Runtime, only the nagios_objects and nagios_instances table is backed up. This is required to ensure consistency with the primary keys for all the various objects in the database with ODW.
This includes:
Note: Other than /usr/local/nagios/var, symlinks are not followed - if you setup any other symlinks, you should ensure those are backed up appropriately.
Files may change as they are being backed up, but these should only be transient information (like log files or rrd files).
The backup excludes:
Due to its size, ODW is not backed up as part of the Opsview nightly backups. It is recommended that you use a 3rd party tool to save the historical data in ODW to a separate system. You can use mysqldump, but beware that you are backing up the same data every time and that the tables are locked during the backup. You may be able to run incremental backups with a different tool.
#!/bin/bash BACKUPTARGET="/var/backups" BACKUP_RETENTION_DAYS=14 DATE=`date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H%M"` echo Creating ODW backup in $BACKUPTARGET nice -n 19 /usr/local/nagios/bin/db_odw db_backup > $BACKUPTARGET/opsview-datawarehouse-$DATE.sql echo Compressing backup with gzip nice -n 19 gzip -9 $BACKUPTARGET/opsview-datawarehouse-$DATE.sql echo Removing old ODW backups in $BACKUPTARGET find $BACKUPTARGET -type f -name "opsview-datawarehouse-*.gz" -mtime +${BACKUP_RETENTION_DAYS-30} -exec rm {} \;
Again, due to size constraints, Runtime is not backed up. If you use the data within Runtime and require it to be stored for recovery, you are recommended to use a 3rd party tool to back this up too. The configuration tables in Runtime are generated by Opsview and Nagios® Core, so will not need to be restored.
Only the nagios_objects and nagios_instances tables in Runtime are saved in the nightly bakcup as these are required to ensure primary key consistency with ODW.
Opsview slaves collect data for Nagios Core, so results are sent back up to the master. Slaves do have Nagios Core logs stored in /usr/local/nagios/var/archives and these will be stored locally and housekept appropriately. There is no automatic backup run on the slaves.
This assumes that you are restoring from the backup files generated by the nightly backup mentioned above. This also assumes that you are restoring to the original Opsview server. If you are interested in migrating Opsview to a different server, see the migration document instead.
Note: If you have a slave system, when opsview starts, it will try to initiate communications with the slave.
su - /etc/init.d/opsview stop /etc/init.d/opsview-web stop cd / tar --gzip -xvf /{path_to_backups}/nagios-files-{datestamp}.tar.gz mysql -u root mysql> drop database opsview; mysql> drop database runtime; mysql> drop database reports; mysql> exit gunzip -c /{path_to_backups}/opsview-db-{timestamp}.tar.gz | mysql -u root -p{mysqlrootpassword} gunzip -c /{path_to_backups}/runtime-db-{timestamp}.tar.gz | mysql -u root -p{mysqlrootpassword} runtime gunzip -c /{path_to_backups}/reports-db-{timestamp}.tar.gz | mysql -u root -p{mysqlrootpassword} su - nagios /usr/local/nagios/installer/upgradedb.pl # Check upgrades are okay. See below if error rc.opsview gen_config opsview-web start exit # back to root
Note: If you get "No database selected", notice that you have to specify runtime as the target database when restoring nagios-runtime-db-{timestamp}.tar.gz.
Note: If you get an error which says:
Upgrading Opsview part of Runtime database DB at version 2.7.0 DBD::mysql::db do failed: Table 'opsview_contact_services' already exists [for Statement "CREATE TABLE opsview_contact_services (
then you are trying to restore over an existing database. You need to remove the old database (taking a different backup first, if possible) before trying to restore from the backup.
You can do a full offline backup by taking the following steps:
This will backup all data regarding Opsview so you can restore to this point in time.
Data can be exported from MySQL in CSV format for use with spreadsheet software and other databases.
The following example can be run from the Unix shell. It exports Opsview Monitor Service Check configuration into a file called: /tmp/servicechecks.csv. You may havbe to change this SQL to match your 'opsview' database name, if it is different from the default.
echo "USE opsview; SELECT * INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/servicechecks.csv' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '\"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' from servicechecks;" | mysql -u root -p

- - Georges St-Pierre rumored to want $50 million from UFC to fight Anderson Silva (http://www.mmaforum.com/ufc/107313-georges-st-pierre-rumored-want-50-million-ufc-fight-anderson-silva.html)
Georges St-Pierre rumored to want $50 million from UFC to fight Anderson Silva
You can bet Anderson will want even more (he deserves more tbh). Doubt the UFC can put that together at this point.
That's Floyd Mayweather money.
So this ain't happening, UFC can't afford that.
Gotta spend big money to make big money I guess.
WTF sigh, i miss the days of real men fightin' 3 times a night
This article though has to be garbage, that or someone is talking out of their ass, really? 50 Million and you don't think Anderson Silva the biggest politician in MMA isn't gonna ask for as much if not more?
That's 100 million dollars at least for one fight and as big as it may be I doubt it eclipses the mark of Mayweather/De La Hoya, you're high if you think the UFC will pay 50 million to one fighter. If the fight happens they may get 15 million and even that may be pushing it.
Wow! You know that's the ultimate respect for Anderson cuz he's being truthful. He knows he's going into battle and most likely leaving on his shield.
Look at what Condit did from the bottom and what Anderson did to Chael from the bottom. He's very capable of hurting his opponents in every possible position known to man.
Funny thing is Anderson would probably do it for free just to test his skills. Cmon Georges...make the compromise.
As long as theres a price tag the Ufc will make it happen. Believe dat.
Man I cant read this shit. I get 300euro on Tuesday. I plan to spend it all buying christmas presents for my family who have said they wont be buying anything in return this year. Then, i'm on 41euro a week. When my leg heals up, hopefully by Janurary, Ill be spending 40euro on martial arts a week, with 1euro spending money. 1 million to me is a lifetime achieveable goal, and these guys not only can pay for the best training camps on the planet, where as I settle for whatever I can get to, but they also want amounts of money that are enough for someone to life on for the rest of their existance, and their family too, EACH fight. Fuk this. If I was Pacquiao, I'd fight Mayweather for free because it's really a greatest of all time vs not greatest of all time fight. Pacquiao might well be the best, but unless he proves it he'll never make it to #1. Same with GSP. If GSP doesnt fight Anderson, there is NO chance, no matter who faces him, that he will become the greatest in his lifetime. Fighting Anderson, for him, should be the only thing on his mind. Who cares if he beats Hendricks or Diaz? I mean I'd LOVE the Nick fight to happen, but the win doesnt make him go ahead of Anderson, let alone Fedor. A fighters goal, from the outset, should be to become the greatest of all time. GSP has that oppertunity to achieve his only real goal, and if he passes it with bullshit like this, I cant now, or ever have respect for him. A fighters mission is to be the best fighter, as anybody in their trade. If someone is insecure about it, or is unwilling to prove it, they are no more worthy of that merit than I am.

Echo Supplements on Reflex Micro Whey
Reflex Micro Whey is quite simply the highest quality protein you can buy - made up entirely of fast acting whey protein isolate, with an unmatched protein level of between 86%-88% - more than any other brand. If you are looking for an exceptionally low carb, low fat protein supplement then this is the best choice you can make.
Micro Whey mixes perfectly with either a shaker or a spoon in a glass and produces a refreshing tasting shake which is perfect first thing in the morning, pre and post workout and whenever you need a shake to top up your daily protein intake without any carbohydrates or fats!
Reflex Micro Whey - Manufacturer's Description
For the fastest muscle-building protein anabolism, complete and immediate intestinal absorption of high quality protein is essential. Every shred of recent protein research suggests that undenatured whey protein isolate is the ultimate form of protein for building muscle and recovery. This is why Reflex Micro Whey has been the choice of tens of thousands of athletes with an enormous 86% protein content that is proven on a weekly basis through rigorous protein testing.
Added Pro Biotics & Digestive Enzymes
Another big difference between other standard whey products and Reflex Micro Whey is the standard inclusion of very special Digezyme enzymes and Lactospore pro-biotics. Digezyme enzymes have been extensively studied and shown to enhance protein digestion, whilst Lactospore pro-biotics, similar to those found in yoghurt, provide for a healthier gut. Note: Some brands will list pre-biotics, this is simply a term that describes a food source for beneficial bacteria, they DO NOT supply pro-biotic bacteria.
Preferentially Selected Whey Protein, The Best
Reflex Nutrition go to great lengths to ensure that Micro Whey contains preferentially selected batches of whey protein isolate which are carefully chosen to meet their very strict criteria that dictate the highest levels of protein, with virtually zero fat and carbohydrate. Its all sourced from the EU and does NOT contain any hormones or heavy metals which can be found in some non EU material.
Micro Whey Contains Bio-Active Fractions
The whey protein found in Reflex Micro Whey is made using cross flow micro filtration. This unique process is carried out at low temperature to preserve many beneficial bio-active whey fractions like Glycomacropeptide, Lactoferrin, Immunoglobulin and others - please read our whey protein guide for more info with regard to their unqiue health effects.
Amazing Range of Flavours and Sizes
Micro Whey comes in a huge range of flavours and sizes to suit just about everyone. You'll be amazed just how easily they mix and how good they taste when you consider the 86% protein content.

Is ebay helping our hobby or hurting us?

"Does Ebay help our hobby?" - is not a yes or no question the better question would be does it help or hurt it more -
Personally I found collecting as a kid when there wasn't Ebay to be more enjoyable. I got back into the hobby as an adult and found it quickly to be no fun at all.
Having a bigger collection due to Ebay does not sound appealing to me. Bigger is not better in my opinion and a lot of enjoyment and awe is lost knowing that whoever has the most money or happens to have more money can have the best (subjective) collection due to easy access to anything and everything there is...at that point to me it just makes more sense to collect money over baseball cards. But you could then say well, the rich guys lost out because I found a deal or won an auction woo-hoo! But that's not the fun to me, that's deal finding and auctions as a hobby..lol Of course deal finding in a card shop was always fun, but not the driving force behind my collection. For those who say card shops would rip people off, well, that's what Beckett USED to be for, a nice collectors tool.
The mystique and magic in card collecting to me was not just straight up mass hoarding, the cool factor was what you were able to find and the collection you were able to build from that - with Ebay the treasure hunt is streamlined and dull, addictive, but overall dull and any sense of accomplishment one has from finding pieces of something on Ebay and buying them all up isn't so Willy Wonka and the golden ticket, mostly just whoopie doo, and you could have bought something better, because there will always be something better that pops up that you will want/need as opposed to wow I discovered a treasure! (at least to a lesser extent) - merely opinion I did not say you cannot enjoy the hobby as it is or that the hobby stinks overall, nor did I say I'd ultimately say Ebay hurts the hobby at large more than it helps

Guess where I'm drinking?
Lori Midson
There are quite a few things that I look forward to once the weekend rolls around, including football, naps, Pin the Tail on the Pig, toilet papering the neighbor's house and Bloody Mary bars. And there's no better Bloody Mary spread in town than the one you see in the above pic. Blue cheese-stuffed olives. Check. Every hot sauce under the desert sun. Check. Absolut Peppar Vodka. Check. Limes, lemons, Worcestershire sauce, chile powder, cayenne pepper, celery salt, celery stalks and pickled okra. Check, check, check.
You can check it out for yourself if you can guess the Bloody Mary bar that makes my Sundays bearable.

Does anyone know if there is an oem licence plate bracket? The pre drilled holes are too far apart to mount my licence plate. I've called a subaru dealership and looked online but nothing to indicate an oem bracket. If there isn't why are the holes drilled so far apart? Couldn't find anything that looked stock. I've included a pic for visual help. Its an 08 wrx.
And before anyone chimes in about searching the forum. I did some searching on here for anything about an oem plate bracket. All I could find was about relocating the bracket.

Olympic Gold interview: Eric Murray and Hamish Bond
10:09 AM Saturday Aug 4, 2012
Mark down trust as the key component in the Olympic success of gold medallists Eric Murray and Hamish Bond on Eton Dorney today. Anything other than a win, and by a solid margin would have been among the shocks of the regatta. Their dominance of the discipline has been overwhelming since they came together in 2009, after being members of the coxless four who won the world title in 2007 but missed the A final at the Beijing Olympics.

From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Tracing is the act of copying another piece of artwork. It is usually done by third graders and tartlets. Tracing, or "omg traced >:(" and "TRACING IS NOT ART! AAAA!" are usually the war cry of talentless furry and weeaboo kids who claim that their so-called original artworks have being traced in seek of pageviews.
So you're in high school, and you've already decided that you're going to be a famous manga-ka when you grow up. But how to start out? The world of art can be a big and terrifying place. Fortunately, you recently found out about a wonderful site called DeviantART that hosts online galleries for amateur artists from some of your fellow artist-aspirants. Even more pretty, tracing in the fanart section is even legalized. As read here The only problem is that you're too damn untalented to spend the time and effort to learn how to draw. I mean, you have Neopets to take care of, hugs to give out, a Gaia avatar to dress up, a LiveJournal to maintain, a Sonic fanfic and an Invader Zim Slashfic in the works, and a pile of yaoi manga to read. Not only that, but you must also attend to an ever-increasing buildup of messages from talent agents and admirers parading through your dA inbox. These days, nobody has time to draw when they could be busy wasting it on petty, social networking-related gossip.
With such a busy schedule, how can you possibly find the time to make up for your blatant lack of skills? The answer is simple: You trace existing artwork.
Tracing causes drama
One of the numerous things that causes TARTlets to become massively butthurt and proceed to cut themselves is the idea of stealing artwork. They will preach the depravity of art theft like gay Republicans who insist they are straight. Like all teenagers, they will violently deny tracing if they are caught/accused of it, despite mounting piles of evidence or public outcry from their fellow TARTlets. Another fun outcry for them is "I used the grids!". Grids are for fags. End of story.
Also a lot of the tracers who happen to be highly watched in DA are supported by uncaring fans who will believe anything or refuse anything that's against their artist despite the evidence is right in front of their faces. For them, only the final result counts and in final, guess what brings thousands of pageviews? a nice, anatomically correct drawing traced from a porn photo, a recoloring or vectorizing of a picture you take? these techniques allows you to make something popular, and for this, the anti-tracing brigade will never forgive you for a simple reason, it's raining fav's on you now, for least you got some little photoshopping skills, anybody, regardless of the moral of ethic can make something epic, and by the way troll a thousand screaming furry drama whores.
hell, you can even pretend selling some prints with that, now the DA-mods stopped to care, and being pointy about it... unless you have some morals and decide to develop your own style, but if you suck, you suck. period.
Tracing is OK on DA!
Thanks to the closet dyke and our most hardworking admin evar Chix0r, the tracing is now AWWWWWRIGHT by the devianTART Policy as seen here [1]. This shitty article started the rage of the Over 9000 devianTARD, bawwing artists, while at least 400 tracing faggots rejoiced for being safe from banhammer if they put the reason why they made shitty tracings of the already shit art. DeviantART now expects an avalanch of traced shits, vectors, plagiarism and art theft, what the site always been about since ten years of course, and best of all; the priceless butthurtness of a thousand raging talentless deviants.
In conclusion, since tracing is not against the real law on intellectual property and copyrights, and in fact, never have been; the admins finally realized they have just better things to care about, like focusing on real violations, maybe?
The remaining art communities caring about this form of art theft :
Overpaint (aka paintover or "grid drawing") "artists" are the X-TREME version of a tracer. They take cheating to a whole new level. Basically, if you suck at life, taking some stock photos and painting over them may be for you! In fact, there are handy dandy programs that show the image right next to your drawing space with a nice little grid to make tracing someone else's photo - I mean, "your art" even easier, faster and more exact!
Scientific research has proved that these internet fucktards, often obsessed with perfect beauty, are just frustrated wankers that pretend to be gifted with superior painting skills on forums.
In fact overpaint scam artists spend their whole days "networking" with other fucktards instead of actually practicing stuff that could increase their non existent skills. Much of those days are spent actually writing slash fiction and fapping furiously as basic photoshop filters can do the same job much faster. Debunking of such delusional retards spurs superior lulz and drama, as their friend artists will blindly try to ignore all the evidence.
The real kicker? This form of tracing is older than computers and is considered an actual artform when used correctly.
- Camera Obscura: overpainting with a projector box
- Johannes Vermeer: famous overpainter
As one actual artist explains what "correctly" means:
Nobody is defending those who trace in preference to knowing their trade and neither is anyone suggesting that tracing should be done all the time. There are, however, occasions for which tracing is necessary and prudent. If an art director tells you they require exact liknesses of person X, Y and Z by Friday then what are you going to say? No? And if you think a "true" artist could paint from reference as fast as they could trace then you're wrong. (...) If an artist approached their craft from the same perspective and traced everything they painted then I'd agree with you, it's a cop out.
- It's not a style: Correct, it's a technique.
- It's a shortcut: Correct, exact likenesses are a pain when you want/need it done fast.
- It's a copout: Correct, when that's all you do and you can't make art without it.

I am not disappointed. I get off the bus and immediately fall in love with the place. Being the cheap bastard that I am I decide to forgoe the $1 collectivo (little taxis that operate like buses--fixed routes and fares) and walk. It�s a pretty nice day and by the time I walk several blocks and a bit of the way up one of Valpo�s infamous hills I am drenched in sweat. Chris, the german expat host suppressed a laugh.
The Luna Son Risa is a charming little hostel which came highly recommended, with good reason
I have time for a quick walk around the winding cobblestoned, stairway infested streets of my hostel�s beautiful neighbourhood, Cerro Alegre before joining three other guests for wine, travel talk, followed by dinner and more travel talk.

How about going somewhere north? There's Potipot Island or Capones Island in Zambales, Casiguran in Aurora, and Pagudpud in Ilocos Norte to name a few.
And if you are willing to travel farther that is not far as Batanes, you might want to go to Palaui Island and Anguib Beach in Cagayan...
This will be a very long travel from Manila but you also have the option to fly by plane going to Tuguegarao and then take a van going to the town of Santa Ana.
You'll pass by this church on your long trip going to Sta. Ana, Cagayan. It will be a 3-hour travel from Tuguegarao City before you reach this little Boracay of the north.
On our way to Palaui Island, we passed by Crocodile Island which name came from its shape.
From Palaui Island, we then went to the little Boracay of the north - Anguib Beach. The place is really beautiful with its mountain view and fine white sand except that there are dried leaves/weeds on water that you have to find an area where you can swim. I hope they could maintain the place and get rid of the dried leaves so people can appreaciate its beauty and enjoy the water.
Until then! :)

text: We have a full bathroom . It is on the 2nd floor.Full tub, sink and toilet. We had to turn water off to it due to a major leak. Between the floors are the pipes to the tub , sink and toilet. <I think> On day my step son was sitting under the leak, before we knew we had one. The wall and part of the ceiling fell on him. At once we turn off all water to there. But Now how to fix it. Only can get to a few pipes from down stairs where we lost the wall. The rest of the pipes are between the floors and Maybe part of our bed room closet. With out taking out tub , sink and floor out of the 2nd floor bathroom, How can we fit this leak?

DEFENSIVE P.O.Y. l ALL-DEFENSIVE TEAM
NEW YORK -- For the fifth time in her career, Indiana Fever forward Tamika Catchings has been named the WNBA Defensive Player of the Year presented by Boost Mobile, the league announced Friday. The former Tennessee All-American and NCAA champion previously won the award in 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2010.
Catchings received 19 out of 41 votes, 11 more than Atlanta Dream guard/forward Angel McCoughtry (eight). Los Angeles Sparks teammates forward Candace Parker (six), another former UT All-American and NCAA champ, and guard Alana Beard (four), Atlanta Dream forward Sancho Lyttle (two), Connecticut Sun center Tina Charles (one) and San Antonio Silver Stars forward Sophia Young (one) received the remaining votes.
Catchings also made the WNBA All-Defensive First Team, while Parker was a second-team selection. On Thursday, Parker and Catchings were announced as the second- and third-place finishers in balloting for the WNBA's Most Valuable Player award. The former Lady Vols teamed up over the summer in London to help the USA women win their fifth-straight Olympic gold medal. They've also led their WNBA teams into the playoffs.
Equally adept on the offensive end, this season Catchings finished first in the East and second overall in scoring among forwards (17.4 ppg) and third in the conference in field goals made (200). She led Indiana in rebounds (7.6 rpg), defensive rebounds (5.8 drpg), double-doubles (10), steals (2.06 spg) and blocks (0.85 bpg).
Honored as the Eastern Conference Player of the Month presented by Boost Mobile for August, Catchings ranked fourth in the league in defensive rebounds and double-doubles, fifth in steals, and sixth in rebounds.
Catchings, referred to as Indiana's "do-everything" forward, is in her 12th season of league play. The 2011 WNBA Most Valuable Player is also a seven-time WNBA All-Star.
In honor of being named the Defensive Player of the Year presented by Boost Mobile, Catchings will receive $5,000 and a trophy specially designed by Tiffany & Co.
Parker led the WNBA in blocks (76, 2.30 bpg.), finished seventh in scoring (17.4 ppg.), third in rebounds (9.6 rpg.) and second in double-doubles (18). The fifth-year pro was the WNBA MVP and Rookie of the Year in 2008, a second-team All-WNBA choice in 2009 and a 2011 WNBA All-Star.

Style Stars: The Best Looks of 2010!
"I always have a set idea of what I want to look like. One thing my stylist said is that every time you dress for an event, pick an idea of who you want to be that night. It could be the rocker girl — or you could be going for your Chanel moment — but having that vision let's you play a different character every night."
"Setting a trend, it definitely comes from personality. You have to reflect your mood. I reflect my mood a lot in what I'm wearing."

Snakes In A Theater —
A story
got out on the news wires
claiming that a prankster had released two diamondback rattlesnakes in a theater during a showing of
Snakes On A Plane
. The source of the story appears to have been AMC spokeswoman Melanie Bell, which gave the story some credibility. But now the
police are saying
that the report isn't true: There is some shred of truth to the story, Phoenix police Sgt. Joel Tranter said. A 10-inch-long rattlesnake was found Friday in a hallway at AMC Desert Ridge 18,…

Hanging Munchkin set for Stage Debut —
The well-known and much maligned
Wizard of Oz urban legend
– that of a scene in the film where one can 'see' one of the munchkins hanging himself at the back of the set – is the centre theme of a show opening in Dublin this week. Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh has focused the play, depicting the lives of the actors who portrayed the munchkins, around the premise that the legend is true. The

What neither Hope Against Hope's fans nor Alan McGee knew was that the band was fake. It didn't exist. So how did they all get fooled? Simple. Because although the band wasn't real, it did have a myspace profile.

Ballmer was seen speaking at the Microsoft sponsored Imagine Cup. During his opening speech this is what he had to say about Windows Phone:
"Windows Phone. You know, a year ago we didn't have a phone in the market. Now, we're charging forward with Nokia. We have the second generation of our phones coming out this Christmas, and people are starting to do things they had never imagined before. I love the applications that I saw for the Windows Phone from the people in this room, and the way you're pushing that device, and using that device. It was really exciting for me."
It shouldn't be any surprise that Ballmer is happy with the way things have gone so far given the moderate success they have seen despite the operating system's infancy and its strong competition.
Christmas should be an exciting time this year for Windows Phone enthusiasts especially if that is the time frame we will start seeing what type of hardware Nokia will bring to the table. Tell us what you think in the comments below.

Gas prices go down nationally, but not in Idaho
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - Nation wide gas prices are decreasing, but not for Idaho.
The national average is $3.44 but Idaho is up 33 cents at $3.77.
"It probably has something to do with the whole sale prices that retailers are paying for their gasoline; that could mean that there is not enough gasoline in the system, it could suggest that there are issues with getting product here, but frankly we do not know," says Dave Carlson, AAA director of government and public affairs.
The increase in gas prices is not heavily impacting Idahoans travel plans for the Labor Day weekend. Normally around this time of year there is a decrease in gas prices, says Carlson.

Frank Zappa - B'wana Dik Tee
This variant is currently sold out
Frank Zappa was an American musician, record and film producer, songwriter and composer.
B'wana Dik' is a song on the 1971 Frank Zappa & The Mothers album, Fillmore East. The name referred to the title that each member hoped to claim depending on his success with the ladies, real or imagined, later that night. B'wana being a Swahili word for boss, dik being not a Swahili word for boss. The song explains in graphic, er, comic detail the potential for success by these members with the groupies, after the show.
Zappa's irony was typically sharp here: 'The song deals with the fact that each in his own way, each member of the group, secretly believes that he is "B'wana Dik." And the song attempts to show how foolish this concept is.' The song originated in 200 Motels, Zappa's surreal documentary on the insanity of touring and what it does to the minds of those subjected to life on the road.
This Worn Free Tee is custom made from super soft washed cotton. So comfy it will become an instant favorite in your T-Shirt rotation. Worn Free reproduces classic vintage style 'fully licensed' tees, in this case as worn by Frank Zappa.
Each tee comes with a special backstage pass style hang tag showing a picture of Frank wearing this B'wana Dik tee design.

Hugh Bonneville believes our celebration of Catholics failing to blow up Parliament is gradually being eroded by an exuberantly American-style celebration of Halloween.
"I singed my hair many times on fireworks my father used to set off in the garden," Bonneville told me at last night's Harper's Bazaar Women of the Year awards at Claridge's. "I used to build Guys modelled on my brother — whom I love, I hasten to add. But I think Halloween is definitely creeping in. Children are no longer burning politically incorrect effigies but celebrating something that, hopefully, isn't real — and maybe that's better."

text: Johannesburg - For years South Africa's banks never realised they could make money out of millions of low-paid workers, but now they can't stop - just ask Salma. After losing her husband and then her business, the 39-year-old mother of one is overwhelmed by a mortgage, car finance, six unsecured loans and debt on her four credit cards. That totals R120 000, equal to ten-and-a-half months of the salary she earned before her business as a dance instructor all but collapsed. "If I knew what was coming, I wouldn't have spent so much on my cards, no chance," said Salma, who asked that she be identified only by her first name. "It is emotionally disabling. I stress so much that I actually get physically ill." After settling her ex-husband's unpaid rent and finding a lawyer for her jailed drug-abusing brother, she punished her credit cards buying presents for friends. Salma is one of 6 000 South Africans who apply every month for counselling to help handle their debts, according to the country's credit regulator. As incomes rise across Africa, consumers in the continent's richest country are choking on debt, thanks to high unemployment, slow economic growth and a culture that prizes high end brands in everything from cars to shoes. As elsewhere, Mercedes, Audi and BMW are high among the aspirational choices. South African household debt stands at 75% of disposable income, according to the central bank, and experts worry it could get worse as banks push into unsecured loans. Until recently, unsecured lending - where loans are not backed by collateral and therefore riskier for the bank and more expensive for the borrower - was dominated by smaller South African lenders such as Capitec Bank Holdings [JSE:CPI] and African Bank Investments [JSE:ABL]. After the end of apartheid nearly two decades ago, Capitec and African Bank carved out a profitable niche by focusing on black communities that had been ignored by bigger banks. Now competitors Standard Bank Group [JSE:SBK], Absa Group [JSE:ASA], FirstRand [JSE:FSR] and Nedbank Group [JSE:NED] are also looking for a slice of the high margin business. Profitable, popular "Unsecured lending is quite popular because it is very profitable for the banks," said Nondas Nicolaides, a senior analyst at rating agency Moody's. While banks charge margins pegged to the 9% prime rate for loans with collateral, unsecured credit can return up to 32%. Banks can also charge loan initiation fees, monthly service charges and credit insurance. Consumer credit has remained weak since a recession in 2009, but unsecured personal loans have grown rapidly. Such loans grew by 53% in the third quarter of last year from the same period a year earlier. Mortgages, in comparison, were up 4%. The sharp growth in unsecured lending could be worrisome for banks, because they may be lending to some clients who are less than creditworthy, Pieter du Toit, the chief executive of FNB Loans, told Reuters in an interview. "We are worried that unsecured (lending) has grown a bit too much, but it is because people are struggling to find other ways of financing." His bank, the retail arm of South Africa's second-biggest lender FirstRand, nonetheless plans to advance at least 20% more unsecured loans this year. While the Reserve Bank has been cautious about high debt levels, governor Gill Marcus has said unsecured lending is still a small component of overall credit. Grinding poverty Despite its relative wealth, South Africa is saddled with the legacy of its apartheid past: millions of blacks stuck in poverty and an official unemployment rate of about 24%. Those with jobs often support their extended families by paying for school fees, medical bills and even funerals, which tend to be expensive multi-day events for South Africans. One 43-year-old mother of three said she can no longer afford to service loans totaling R25 000 after losing her R2 300 a month job stacking shelves for a food company. "All I want is help to pay this because I am not working any more now," she said in Diepkloof, Soweto, where the National Credit Regulator had pitched camp to educate residents on debtor rights. Experts say that some of South Africa's poor, traditionally excluded from the financial system, may not understand the dangers of high interest or the details of their loans before taking on debt. The Soweto mother, for example, was not made aware whether or not her loans were insured against a job loss. Some debtors hold as many as 13 credit accounts. Even with 10 credit bureaux in South Africa, the highly indebted still manage to get new loans due to lax background checks. 'Debt is colour blind' The debt crisis has inspired a reality show on South African television. On the national broadcaster's In Debt programme, "debt doctor" Thoko Nchabaleng, a registered debt counsellor, doles out advice on avoiding excessive borrowing. In one episode she tells guest William Ramotsela - his extended family's sole breadwinner - to cut back remittances to his relatives in Limpopo. With two children of his own, Ramotsela also had to support his parents, five sisters and their six children. He had six personal loans, two credit cards and a home loan to service, which left him R15 000 short each month. The problem is also spreading to wealthier South Africans due to a growing culture of consumption, Nchabaleng said. "It's about keeping up with the Kunenes," she said, a reference to the well-known ex-convict turned entrepreneur famous for champagne parties and eating sushi off bikini-clad women. "Debt is colour blind. Whether you are black or Indian, you look at your peers and how they live and you want to live like them," said Nchabaleng in an interview with Reuters at Johannesburg's upscale Sandton City mall, as bag-laden shoppers walked in and out of high end boutiques. Higher-income debtors are the hardest to reform, said Nomsa Motshegare, the acting head of the National Credit Regulator, as they don't want to give up their expensive lifestyles. "We find that a lot of the people who are over-indebted are people with two houses, two cars. They drive the BMWs, the Mercedes. Those are the guys who don't sleep at night, trust me." 'Buries you under' Those who have tapped out formal credit lines turn to "mashonisas", the illegal loan sharks who first sprang up during the apartheid era when blacks did not have access to credit. Their services are still popular, despite their often violent means of collection. Some mashonisas - which in Zulu translates to "one who buries you under" - confiscate debtors' ATM cards and only give them back after withdrawing their cut at the end of the month. Lucky borrowers have lost their furniture to mashonisas, while the less fortunate end up as victims of violence. Not all mashonisas cut the typical image of a loan shark. Nobuhle, a petite 43-year-old woman in a short flowery sundress, is chatty and friendly but admits she can be tough on her customers. The mother of one lends up to R1 000 and expects settlement with 50% interest seven days after the next payday. Those late in repaying, usually a month after the money was due, are forced to pay double. "They don't give up borrowing. They like cash," she said, rubbing her thumb and index fingers together. "So far, business has been very good. I would be lying if I said business is bad." Nobuhle already has 15 repeat clients and is making double what she earned working in retail. Would she use violent means against defaulting debtors? She won't say, although she will do "everything" to get her money back. Nchabaleng, the debt doctor, said mashonisas are not the only ones making a killing. "We are fighting an ill practice where retail is cashing in, banks and unscrupulous lenders are cashing in," she said. "Anyone that can take a chance is cashing in on the fact that people are now used to living with plastic money. It's life. But I can tell you that they are dying inside."

Radiothon to End Child Abuse seeks auction items
The Radiothon to End Child Abuse is currently accepting auction items for the 20th annual event, scheduled for Dec. 5 and 6.
The Radiothon is an annual fundraiser to support children and families in need. In addition to a pledge line, the Radiothon has an auction line where bids can be placed on a variety of items donated from the community. All monies raised from the auction remain in Crow Wing County to benefit those most at risk.
Any donated auction item with a retail value of $50 or more will be featured on the Radiothon auction website and a link to the business or organization website will be attached. Auction items and donors names will be broadcast continuously over the radio during the Radiothon. Each year the auction website has thousands of hits, which is a great way to provide advertising and awareness for a business or organization that donates to this good cause.
Those interested in providing an auction item for the Radiothon can contact Kris Ott at 218-824-1161 or email@example.com.
Deadline for auction item submission is Nov. 15.
