Take yourself down to the tangle of Mayfair streets between Piccadilly and Curzon Street tonight and you will likely spot a few well-dressed types lingering uncertainly — trying to catch your eye and hoping you might have come for the same reason they have.
Shepherd Market is known as London's respectable red-light district, where high-class escorts traditionally operate in expensive rooms. It is the place where Jeffrey Archer first became entangled in the scandal that led to him being jailed when he met the prostitute Monica Coghlan in the autumn of 1986. The place, in the words of one writer, "where knights of the shires drop off their ashen sons to have their virginities disposed of by matronly women".
Tonight's visitors won't be hovering because they are looking for houses with red doors, however. More likely, they will be heading to a nightclub so exclusive that it doesn't mark its maroon door at all.
A year ago, the unremarkable three-storey block backing onto Trebeck Street lay empty — one corner bearing the antiquated signboard of Tiddy Dols Eating House. It looked so atmospheric in its Victorian dilapidation that passing tourists took photos, perhaps thinking they had stumbled upon a remnant of Dickensian London or Diagon Alley.
Today it is the favourite bolthole of London's biggest celebrity names and, it has come to light, Hollywood's too. In a success story all the more amazing for having happened more or less under the radar, Loulou's (and 5 Hertford Street, the private member's club of which it is a part) has become one of those rare places where royals, tycoons and movie stars come to let their guard down and party.
It can count billionaires among those it has turned away, William and Kate as regulars and — the Standard can reveal — the names Cruise, Clooney and Moss on its highly secret membership list. Annabel's, the Berkeley Square club where Sinatra, Onassis and Nixon partied with Prince Charles, and Diana dressed up as a policewoman for Fergie's hen night, has an heir at last.
Inside the anonymous doors, guests descend a steep flight of stairs into the darkness of the basement, where a giraffe's head emerges from the floor. Loulou's may be the club whose stars shine brightest, but the same doesn't go for the crystal lights.
"It's so dark the waiters struggle to write the orders," says a guest at Google boss Eric Schmidt's glittering party there on Tuesday night. It's got "a slightly brothel-ey feel", says another.
The décor — the work of Eighties fashion designer Rifat Ozbek — is hysterical: swirly black walls, shards of mirror glass, velvety fabrics. "It somehow works," says the Loulou's first-timer, "in that it has a Parisian bohemian vibe — like tomorrow doesn't matter, so what the hell, have another glass of champagne."
To quote a Vanity Fair writer who attended the launch party in July last year, the interior "has the sort of classy hedonism that tells you we're snuggling in for a long recession".
In the main gathering area, waifish blonde twenty- and thirtysomethings drink and mingle. The bar, where a gin and tonic costs £20, is made of shells. Familiar faces chatter in three private dining rooms and alcoves. On the dancefloor, members and their guests dance in the recognisable, ironic, devil-may-care fashion that only the very posh and the very rich can pull off convincingly.
Schmidt's party, to launch his book The New Digital Age, was hosted by 27-year-old entrepreneur Jamie Reuben, son of aluminium and property magnate David. Reuben is a major investor in the club, along with Tory MP and socialite Zac Goldsmith. Both have bought into the dream of Zac's stepbrother Robin Birley to recreate something to match his late father Mark's stunning success — Annabel's.
Robin, a gangly aristocrat who has waited many years for the chance to rebuild the Birley club empire after Mark's £95 million deathbed sale of Annabel's and his other venues to Richard Caring in 2007, takes the quality (some might say, purity) of the membership more seriously than anything.
"Every other club is a members' club but kind of isn't," says a regular, "but 5 Hertford Street really is. Unless you are a member or with a member you cannot go to Loulou's or upstairs."
Someone who knows says Birley is fixated on making sure his 1,500 or so members feel at home. "The bottom line is that you want people who are comfortable in a place like that and who make other members comfortable," he says.
Prospective members have to be proposed and seconded and confirmed by a committee, but it is rumoured that a foreign billionaire is among the many whose hopes of membership have been dashed. Those accepted pay a joining fee of about £1,200, then £1,500 a year. The 500 founder member-investors paid £25,000 each.
Princes William and Harry are not thought to be members, although many of their close friends are. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who stopped clubbing at places like Mahiki, Whisky Mist and Bouji's years ago, have partied at Loulou's many times — enjoying a big night with Pippa and William's cousin Princess Eugenie months after its opening last year. Mick Jagger, Kate Moss and Daphne Guinness were also there. Schmidt's party saw Eugenie's sister Beatrice, her mother Fergie, Nick Candy, Sam and Holly Branson and Lily Cole all crowd in. And George Clooney was recently forced to deny reports that he had been "openly affectionate" with his ex-girlfriend Monika Jakisic on a recent night at Loulou's.
What was Clooney doing at a club conceived as a senior common room for London high society? He's actually a member, comes the unexpected reply from a source who knows the club's inner workings. And so reportedly is Tom Cruise — an even greater surprise given that Hollywood's highest-earning star has never been spotted coming or going by the paparazzi or been linked with Loulou's by a single LA blog or Fleet Street gossip column. The Standard understands that Kate Moss is also a member.
Is there another place in the world where the world's most-photographed royal could find herself standing at the bar with the world's most famous actor on one side and the most celebrated model on the other? Robin Birley would probably wince at a question so gauche, which is probably why they come.

Condensation forms on the fondant when the inside of the cake is much colder then the outside. If you put it in the fridge at all it sounds like you will only need to do it long enough for the buttercream to chill and firm up but not long enough for the cake or filling to get cold. Hopefully that will help! If it does gather condensation again just let it sit (in front of a fan might be best) and let the cake dry and reach room temp. Just don't touch it until it drys completely or you can leave fingerprints!

RANCHO CUCAMONGA - A former Rialto police officer pleaded no contest Friday to committing a series of sex acts with a teenage relative starting a decade ago.
Theodore Ralph Fernandes, 51, of Fontana took a plea deal at West Valley Superior Courthouse and accepted responsibility for two counts of sexual penetration by a foreign object against the victim's will and one count of lewd act on a child age 14, according to court records.
As part of the agreement, Fernandes also received two strikes and will have to register as a sex offender.
He will face six years and eight months in state prison when he is sentenced on March 28.
Fontana police began investigating the case in early February 2012 after the victim reported the crimes. That same month, Fernandes was put on administrative leave from the Rialto Police Department.
Investigators spent several months completing the case due to its complexity, police said.
Fernandes was arrested in May at the Fontana police station. Prosecutors originally charged him with 20 counts of sex crimes.
The remaining counts will be dismissed when Fernandes is sentenced, according to court records.
The 24-year-old victim, who was 14 when the crimes began, is a relative of Fernandes, officials said.
The crimes were committed between September 2002 and September 2006, according to a criminal complaint by the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office.
Fernandes resigned from the Police Department in August. He had 17 years of law enforcement experience, police said, and was most recently a motorcycle officer assigned to the traffic division.

Weak Power Steering
I started typing a whole load of crap, but the story is unimportant.
My power steering will not work unless the revs are about 1200 RPM or higher. Lower than that the pump makes loud dying noises and does nothing. Also, my steering gear is leaking profusely out of the bottom. What. The. Hell.
Any ideas how this could have happened??? My power steering fluid is only a bit low, but I don't think it's run down too far as to lose lubrication.
Re: Weak Power Steering
Just probably wear my man. It's time to change it!
Re: Weak Power Steering
A leak probably lead to running the pump dry, if your level gets low it can airate the fluid. Replace the gear for the leak and replace the pump the noise and likely lack of assist. pump noise is an indication of a pump not getting adaquate lubrication and or pump failure.

What a wonderful product! The Smashbox Photo Set Pressed Powder is a very nice way to finish up your make-up application for the day! It sets everything so that your mascara isn't running down your face. I also like to put a little dusting on my lips before using my lip pencil … it keeps everything in place for a perfect pouty lip! Purchase this product with confidence … you will not be disappointed!5
I have heard SUCH good things about the entire line of Smashbox's Photo-products. I had really high hopes that this would help set foundation, control shine and give one more layer of skin-tone evening. It's VERY sheer but does somewhat help with evening tone. Does not seem to help make up meltdowns or shine control. It is a very dense powder and lasts a LONG time. I almost wish I could use it up faster so I could go back to my old product...3
I carry this around with me everywhere! This is one that I keep in my bag along with my modelCO lipgloss. It's light and skinny to slip into any smaller pocket in my bags. At home, I use a brush to put it on and outside, I use the little pad that is included in the pack. It is convenient and easy to use. It covers up a lot of my flaws and it is perfect for quick, easy touch ups before meeting friends or in between meetings.5

Guess that means I'm a wise fool
Of the four tiers of high school, sophomore is the year that stands out as strange. Freshman, junior, and senior are relatively clear monikers for their associated levels, and it's funny that in school, the place where you are most expected to know the how and why of everything, second-year students are called by a term whose roots are abstruse. Then there is the problem of the word sophomoric. We apologize in advance, but this is the actual definition: "suggestive of or resembling the traditional sophomore; intellectually pretentious, overconfident, conceited, etc., but immature."
Sophomore derives from an earlier English term, sophumer, which is a variation of the Greek sophism, "clever device." (A competing folk etymology holds that it is a portmanteau of sophos, "wise", and moros meaning "foolish, dull.") A sophist is literally "one who is wise," but the term became derogatory in Greek culture because it seemed a little unwise (or simply arrogant) to proclaim about one's own wisdom. Teachers with more humility came to be known as philosophers, literally "lovers of wisdom."
The term in question was first applied to second-year students in college, not high school. At Cambridge University (founded in 1209), second- and third-year students were called sophisters. Perhaps their arguments weren't expected to be as lucid as those of upperclassmen. By the late 1600s, this appellation had morphed in sophomore. (First-year students were freshmen, fresh to the field of philosophical debate, and thus free from the grueling discipline of oral argument.) Many centuries later in the mid-1800s, sophomoric acquired the negative adjectival sense mentioned above. Perhaps the best part of being a sophomore is that it doesn't last forever.
Any other school words you'd like us to explore? Let us know.
Guess that means I'm a wise fool
Me to teacher: "imma sophomore now! even the name sounds more sophisticated!"
I'm a*
Lol I hate when people say imma when they type out what they were saying… I mean you might speak with that dialect, but in this situation you completely justified the root meaning of the word "sophomore." Wise idiot haha!
Nice catch nunya.
It might just be a joke
I'm am old English person and I was wondering where the name came from,now I know.
i heard it was "social moron"
What about juniors and seniors?? I'm assuming they're self explanatory but still…
Loved this quality post. I'm just happy I joined your blog a couple of days ago, and I would suggest that other people reading this right now do the same. I'm sure, you won't regret it.
Thank you Curly… makes sense.
@Laura Nass: "More" is from the Greek "mōros", which means dull or unintelligent. Think "moron" – it has the same root.
@wazzup pplz: "Freshman" literally means "fresh man" – a person who is new, or "fresh".
you people are so weird and who cares if they are wise fools if thats the case what are jr.s??????????
with "Soph" meaning "wise" and "more" meaning "Fool", wouldn't that be an oxymoron?
It would be an "awfully good" example of an oxymoron :3
What does alumni really mean? I still don't know how to use it.
I am a freshman so i'm wondering what 'freshman' means after reading all this
and no americans arn't wierd i think we're just 'complexer' than some other countries…
Yes, certainly very complex beings (like you) who can't spell, can't use correct punctuation and are too lazy to use capital letters.
Ha! 'Complexer' (More complex).
More complex like the dumbing down of american spelling and language and pronunciations (color instead of colour, neighbor instead of neighbour, aluminum/aluminium), could go on all day…
A fine demonstration of the meaning of "sophomoric."
Because this is the Internet, sentient. You'll find trolls just about everywhere.
Why are there trolls on an informational site? :/
[...] and put the booty pads in the jeans? — Coveralls and Overalls is someplace in our obscenely SOPHOMORIC dreams. — The destination and journey are not always as it seems. — Open communication with a [...]
Sophomore could also be a derivative of two Greek words: "sophos" & "moros":translated wise & fool, or wise fool.
"Sophia" is Greek and means "wise". "More" is also Greek and means "fool". The term sophomore literally means "wise fool".
Look @Articulate wagging his big, brainy totem, trying to imply that someone's typo (synyax) indicates his inferiority. Articulate's head, replete with gray matter that it cannot contain, has spouts for ears; the gray matter oozes out of them and drips onto his keyboard as he meticulously reads and re-reads his own comments, correcting typos, so that nobody could ever make a fool of HIM. Is he afraid that what's oozing out is actually not gray matter, but bullshit?
I spy a typographical error in your post too.
The word was syntax last time I looked (two seconds ago).
Simply put, sophomore translates into "a little wiser" (as compared to a freshman).
It is delineated from greek "sophos,sophae,sophon" (knowledgeable,wise), rather than from "sophistic(al)" with its phony and fallacious (dialectic) implications. The author has it right: "Sophomore derives from an earlier English term, sophumer" (mer = german "mehr"),i.e. "wise (a little) more". However, the author incorrectly asserts: "(sophumer), is a variation of the Greek sophism, "clever device", instead of deriving it from its true etymologic origin: "sophos"=knowledgeable.
You folks are not only wrong about "Upper Classmen", as ReverseUmlaut pointed out, but you are mistaken on the origin of Sophmore.
It comes from two root words: sophos, meaning knowledgeable; and mores, meaning customs or morals. And by the way, can you please stop discussing "Words of the Day" which are obsolete, not having been in popular speech since the 18th or 19th Century?
AT 88 I SUBSCRIBE TO BEING……..; intellectually pretentious, overconfident, conceited, etc., but immature." EMPHASIS ON THE LATTER. I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED TO MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH AND FEEL GOOD AND HAVE NO INTENTION OF STOPPING. WITH THIS DEFINITION THEY CAN FEEL SUPERIOR WITHOUT OVERTAXING THEMSELVES. HAPPY HA HA TO YOU.
Cambridge degrees usually last three years, so the reference to "upperclassmen" (not a term used in the UK) is meaningless – the second and third year "sophisters" are the equivalent of upperclassmen.
My father has told us about the origin and meaning of Sophomore ever since his grandchildren were approaching high school age. At every family gathering, he would recount this discussion. If he were willing to get on a computer, this article would make his day. And since his memory is now gone, he could revisit this site eveyday and get another sense of satisfaction.
Happy Birthday Dad!
Nice info
one of the advantage of sophomore to speak fluently than what they speak naturally really crucial specially for university as well as speakers.
Then look up "lucid".
Earthling, Sophomore;
You two should spend more time studying the English language, and less time commenting on it. I suggest you begin your edification with the words, "synyax" and "coherency".
When my son helped with move-in-day of students at the U. of Dayton he was instructed not to use the term "freshman or freshmen" and (of all things) "dormitory."
A sophomore has been incessantly provoked by a lovers of wisdom.
A sophomore has been incessantly provoked by a lovers of wisdom.
I had always heard that one student in ancient Greece had insulted an underclassmen (of whose grade was equivalent to our 10th grade) by calling him a "sophomore" or "wise fool," as it would translate.
sophomore and all of that other stuff is confusing. americans are weird
When I heard this as a sophomore last year, I first felt indignant, then laughed at the truth of it.
@earthling: You almost stole my idea for a name! Oh, well. Great minds think alike.
A few decades ago I heard that "sophomore" meant "wise fool". I've always wondered how they get that from "more". Is there any truth to that half?
Who is the audience here?
When I was in high school, we pronounced it "suffer-more".
[...] there's the Game Show — They're playing to an audience that's generally "SOPHOMORIC" including us — we missed the bus — for "DELUSIONS" and are generally [...]
One advantage of being a sophomore, that is "intellectually pretentious, overconfident, conceited, etc., but immature" does not get ignored but get refuted back from someone who enjoys taking the wind out of opponents' sails for whatever reasons at any cost.

The Government's cap on benefits is at the heart of its welfare reforms. The aim is to ensure that households on benefits are not better off than the average working family, but there are plainly difficulties ahead to judge from one area — Haringey — where it has been piloted. A study of the scheme by the Chartered Institute of Housing suggests that at least some of the savings from it are cancelled by the extra expenditure it involves for local councils. Haringey made discretionary payments to nearly half of claimants: the Government gave the council £1.8 million for this in the first year of the scheme. Just 10 per cent of 747 households affected appear to have found jobs — a fairly normal outcome for such claimants.
This is a partial study. But sticking points in Haringey are likely to be replicated elsewhere. One is that many of the individuals affected by the cap are unable to make up for the cuts in benefits by finding work: many are single mothers who do not have ready access to childcare. Some are simply unemployable. Haringey is within travelling distance of jobs; elsewhere, there may well be few jobs available even for those who want them.
Haringey says that it has had to supplement its grant from the Government to help people in difficulties as a result of the cap to the tune of £2 million. This is not practicable long term. Ultimately, some London families are going to have to move as a result of the reform: it is not possible for councils to subsidise them indefinitely.
There remains a moral case that people out of work should not be better off than those in work. Taking benefits from families is harsh, but permanent dependence on welfare is not sustainable. And the policy is popular with voters to date. But if the Government ends up cancelling out savings through greater subsidies to councils, that defeats much of the object of the policy.
Police and politics
This is not a happy day for the police: senior officers from three Midlands forces are giving evidence to the Commons Home Affairs Committee about the "Plebgate" affair. They will inevitably try to defuse claims of a conspiracy by officers to discredit the former Tory Chief Whip, Andrew Mitchell, accused of calling officers "plebs". At particular issue today is the account of three officers who met with Mr Mitchell as representatives of the Police Federation after the incident: they initially claimed he had refused to give an account of the affair yet a transcript of the meeting shows that this was not true. A police internal investigation recommended they face misconduct hearings but their Chief Constables overruled this, a decision that the Independent Police Complaints Commission contests.
Whatever the truth of the claims and counter-claims, this dispute has turned into an long row with the Police Federation and indeed with the police more widely. Meanwhile Operation Alice, Scotland Yard's investigation into the affair, has run up a bill of £230,000 for investigating a row that should have been concluded in days and which cost Mr Mitchell his job. It is hard now to see how the police can come out of this well.
Happy event
Prince George is today baptised into the Church of England of which he will one day be head. But amid all the fuss about the godparents, the Archbishop of Canterbury reminds us that whatever this child's royal status, "all babies are unbelievably special, not only royal babies". Quite right too.Reuse content

Tesfaye Gebre-Ab, an Ethiopian journalist and former high-level official with an intimate knowledge of the ruling Tigray People Liberation Front's inner workings, has just written an explosive book entitled "The Journalist's Memoir" that lays bare a great deal of highly sensitive secrets, including the assassinations of some prominent people and the motive behind them. Tesfaye currently lives in exile. The 400-page book is now being circulated in Europe and will soon be available in the U.S. It's an absolute must read book.

granitecollects.com Steve( Granite creditors) malicious, spiteful and vindictive with a smile!!! Practicing unethical behavior using fake documents to collect more then owed!!!contacted me regarding my over due balance with Golden State Overnight, he claimed I owed $1762.62, I noticed right away that the balance he claimed that I owed was not the correct amount… Pacifica California
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Steve( Granite creditors) contacted me regarding my over due balance with Golden State Overnight, he claimed I owed $1762.62, I noticed right away that the balance he claimed that I owed was not the correct amount. Steve(from Granite Creditors) then tried to convince me that he would take off the interest of $92.47, I told him that the amount was incorrect.
Steve then said I needed to face the music and pay him, or he would ding my credit. I laughed that he actually thought he could just threaten me without providing any documents and collect money using these tactics.I hung up on him and contacted GSO, they informed me that my balance was $853. [continued below]....
GSO then apologized and excepted a payment from me of $100 dollars, I then spoke with gso's collection department and informed them that I would call back in 10 days and pay the balance of $753.81 . I then received another email from Steve trying to collect $1762.62, I also received an alert from life lock that he marked my credit after I already made payment arrangements with GSO.
GSO then informed me that Steve bought my account and seemed to take a special interest in my debt and was acting vindictive, because I went around him and his unethical company. Golden State overnight immediately acknowledged that they made the arrangement with me and excepted my payment of the correct amount $752.62. I spoke with there account manager and was informed that Granite Creditors was overcharging me.
I am here to let anyone know that Granite Creditors is an unethical companythat tries to bully the people that they collect from and obviously there only concern is to rape it's accounts and collect more money then owed. I will be reporting them the BBB and letting them know that they are not practicing ethical behavoir in there business.
My advice is if you owe GSO a balance ask to speak with there collection department and pay GSO directly, because if you wait to long your account will go to granite creditors and they will screw you over with no lubrication. Make sure to question each amount they claim you owe, because they make up fake documents claiming a balance without giving you a brake down. This company is a joke and not professional. One thing I know how to do is make sure the public is aware of there behavior. They can rebuttal, or try to pay to have a better reputation after this, because this report will now follow them on the web.

"We've come a long way from a very short distance," said EQT Corp. president and CEO David Porges of EQT Inc. referring to the first commercial gas well in Murraysville, Pa., that is a mere 18 miles east of the company's first commercial gas well and their offices in Pittsburgh. And they have come a long way – EQT recently reported the region's highest initial production rate producers, #590384 Cooper in Greene County, Pa., that flowed flowing 22.2 million cubic feet of gas per day.
EQT had 2009 year-end estimates of proved, probable and possible reserves at 12.5 trillion cubic feet, a 32% net increase over EQT's 2008 total that was driven mainly by the success of the company's Marcellus and Huron/Berea horizontal drilling programs. In the third quarter of 2010, the company reported a 35% over the same 2009 period.
"And, we learned a lot along the way," according to Porges. "The main thing was that we believed that we could use our thinking to show the way to better costs structures and from this, we learned five basic and simple things to make us better."
EQT lesson 1: "We began to increase production and reduce costs with pad drilling and skids and drilling extended laterals to maximize Marcellus production while reducing costs. "Our extended laterals doubled the amount of recoverables by focusing on the best rock porosities and permeabilities to achieve maximum fracturing," said the CEO.
EQT lesson 2: "Protecting the environment is good business for the industry. If we're not behaving properly, we can't ask for support from government and regulators." The company triple-cases each well, and has developed an innovative frac fluid recycling program and proactive spill prevention procedures.
EQT lesson 3: "Natural gas is the new neighbor. When neighbors to natural gas raise objections, we work with them as neighbors?from our external affairs staff to our land people to continuously be ambassadors. EQT also believes that good neighbors support each other: "We made a foundation to put money in back into community through the fire departments and other training for using natural gas as a power source."
Porges also explained that they have taken steps, including education for three main complaints–polluting water, dirty air created by diesel engines and excessive water use. EQT has already developed its own frac fluid recycling program to recycle all the water they use. In addition, the speaker proposed that rig-site air pollution concerns can be solved by converting diesel-fueled rig site vehicles to run on natural gas.
EQT lesson 4: Create jobs. According to EQT, the company has a direct economic impact in Pennsylvania with approximately 841 jobs and a multimillion dollar payroll. Porges also suggested that about 100,000 additional local jobs could be created through oil and gas production, and ancillary positions and industries including hotels, trade staff, and a variety of local retail sales.
EQT lesson 5: Create demand. Porges referred to surveys that show public demand for cleaner energy alternatives, which include natural gas. "We can fill the cleaner energy demand with natural gas which includes converting coal-fired power plants to natural gas-power plants."
"Of all the vehicles in our country, only about 1% of all vehicles run off natural gas. In other words, we need to support more gas-fueled opportunities. We can do this at a better level by legislating emissions requirements, not just requiring that vehicle manufacturers make x amount of natural gas powered vehicles each year."

This is just a note to remind everyone that 150 years ago our country was divided and that as dysfunctional as our Government is or as polarized as our population seems, it ain't anything like it was 150 years ago.
The bloodiest day in American history happened 150 years ago Monday. 23,000 Americans became casualties that day, including one of my own ancestors who lost his arm in that battle.
My great-great grandfathers served in the 1st Alabama Calvary, 19th Alabama Infantry, and the 88th New York Infantry
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
Hopefully it will not come to this again.
English is my second language, I have been told my use of it is harsh, apologies if this is the matter.
You know what stops a bad guy with a gun? A good guy with a gun
As Americans.........we fight for what we believe in......may God Bless Them All.
Nice bit of history. Thanks for sharing. Maybe I'll dig out and disply that Yankee daguerreotype...
Thanks for the reminder! Love history like that.

This is Molly. We got her about 2 months ago from a lady in our neighborhood. Someone had dropped her (and her 3 siblings) off at her house and wasn't able to keep them. She gave them away to keep from having to take them to a shelter. I feel in love as soon as I saw the picture of her online. She is a mix, but I'm not sure what she is mixed with. Either way, I think she's just adorable! lol :)
Beautiful girl! The GSD in her really shows. :)
It was good of you to take her in.
Thank you! She is a sweetie. Not sure what she is mixed with. She has white tips on each paw, a white tip on her tail, a small white line on her face, and white on her chest and stomach. :)
She's adorable! !

Thank ya! Like I said, it doesn't really matter. Just curious. lol :)
Pretty pup!
I don't know why exactly, but I feel like she looks like a German Shepherd/Siberian Husky mix.

Recently, Burnes is busy promoting the "Youth of a New Day Tour" and the "You Can Be Anything Tour" – fundraising events associated with the You Can Be Anything Foundation that provides schools across the nation with very talented musical acts such as MTV's Making the Band artist(Walt Anderson, Jonessa and others from the show), Veer of Universal/Motown Records and several more for a day of music and fun.

Burnes grew up with his mother and sister in Tucson, Arizona. From the age of eight until eighteen, his mother enrolled him in the Big Brothers and Big Sisters program, providing him the opportunity of positive male influences in his life. Burnes attributes his success partially to these role models – he believes that without them, he could have easily traveled down the wrong path in life.
Burnes acted as a literacy volunteer in Tucson, AZ, and was a member of the Dayton, Ohio Chamber of Commerce.

Heading home from work today I was lucky enough to catch a red light next to a yellow/black Mach 1. I had noticed him eyeing my car on the way to the light so I was expecting a spirited run. Light turns green, we both slowly rolled off (no launch) and nailed it around 5mph. I immediately pulled a little less than a car length and was able to hold him off until about 60ish until he started pulling on me pretty soundly. We shut down shortly after, I pulled up next to him again and we exchanged a friendly thumbs up. Before he turned off he said "I'd hate to go against you in the twisties." Well at least I have something on him . Now I just need....more.....power!
In short - From a low mph roll Mach 1 >> stg 2 WRX.

Floating Floor vs. Glue down on basement slab
We're having our basement finished and have a contractor doing the bulk of the work and tackling some of it ourselves. We checked out some glue down hardwood flooring and our contractor is advising us against this and saying he uses floating floors because they handle moisture better and are easier to install. I want a nice solid feel to my floor and while I've used floating before in a smaller room in my house I just don't know if I want my whole 800 square foot basement covered in the stuff. Our basement in Kansas has never had an issue with moisture on the concrete (the house was built in 94) and my understanding is that there is a glue out there that you can use that has a vapor barrier in it. Can anyone suggest one way or another on this and let me know if there are issues I need to be concerned with regarding glue down (beyond it being more difficult to install)?
It's all about what the manufacturer recommends over what the installer recommends and what you want.
Find a wood that fits your needs, however I am not sure of one that recommends glue onto slab.
Except perhaps Bruce Natural Reflections line.
You can glue down a wood floor to concrete but you will need to check the moisture content of the floor with a chloride test to see how much moisture it is releasing. This is relatively new procedure, installing over concrete. Even the adhesive you are talking about with the vapor barrier needs to meet some guidelines with the moisture content. Your installer may simply not have the expertise to do this job with the method you are recommended, then again maybe he is right. I would consult a flooring expert or call a flooring company to come take a look at it. If your contractor does not do ONLY flooring as his expertise he may be outside of his field. Maybe he has a sub he can consult with.
Just because you have never had problems doesn't mean that your concrete is good to go. You need to perform a choride test.
Any idea of what the test must come up with to be approved...??
I am curious
According to my understanding, moisture vapor emitted must be less than three pounds per 1,000 square feet in day.
That is for glue down specific?
Or floating?
Glue down.
If it goes over that you need a moisture barrier like Taylor's MS-Plus. Two coats, one to seal and another to glue. Whatever product you use, I'd check with the manufacturer to get the specifics of what you can and can't do.
Any idea of the what the vapor rate is for floating?
I would have to agree with the other guys. Finding people with experience with gluedown floors is difficult. Many may claim they know how it's done, but with the economy the way it is many are starving for work. In other words thge chosen contractor may prove to be a disaster.
Take a look at upgraded underlayments for floating floors. They are suprisingly good at making a floating floor feel solid underfoot. I'm guessing the sound may be turning you off more than anything. And there are oodles of styles to choose from today that don't look like the same old dreary looking butcher block style floating floors of the past.

South Reno tops South Tahoe in state tournament
July 22, 2014
The South Tahoe Babe Ruth All-Stars fell to South Reno 12-11 in extra innings of a back-and-fourth championship game during the state tournament Monday.
The Vikings won the first game 6-5 after scoring four runs in the seventh inning of the double-elimination tournament to force an "if" game immediately following.
In the fourth inning, Lex Merrifield hit an RBI groundout scoring Josh Sullivan to tie the score at four. South Reno took a one run lead in the bottom of the inning, but Dakota Sullivan drew a bases-loaded walk in the fifth to score Garret Harley evening the game at five.
South Reno was winning 10-7 when Payton Galli led off the seventh inning with a single and advanced to second and third on stolen bases. The next batter, Stacey, hit a standup double to centerfield scoring Galli. Sullivan, representing the tying run, drew a walk.
After stealing third, Stacey was brought home off an RBI groundout by Brian Catchings that advanced Sullivan to third.
Sullivan came home on a passed ball to tie the game at 10.
In the bottom of the inning, South Reno threatened with runners on second and third and two outs, but Stacey caught a fly-ball in center field to force extra innings.
In the ninth, Catchings reached first on a throwing error by South Reno's defense to load the bases with one out. Devin Chartraw singled in Sullivan before the top of the inning ended on a double play with South Tahoe ahead 11-10.
South Reno tied the game on a passed ball then hit a walk off single in the ninth to win the game, and the tournament, 12-11.
Pitchers Stacey and Chaz Ross combined for the loss on the mound. Evan Brewer and Ross also recorded hits in the game.

Special Report: Third Manned Space Mission
Backgrounder: Chinese
footprints in outer space
Sept. 27 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Taikonaut Zhai Zhigang completed a spacewalk
Saturday afternoon, marking a historic breakthrough in the country's ambitious
space program, which will eventually lead to the establishment of a permanent
space station.
Donning a 4-million-U.S.dollar homemade Feitian space suit, Zhai
slipped out of the orbital module of Shenzhou-7 in a head-out-first position at
around 4:43 p.m. (0843 GMT).
He waved to the camera mounted on the service module after pulling
himself out of the capsule, video monitors at the Beijing Aerospace Control
Center (BACC) showed.
"Shenzhou-7 is now outside the spacecraft. I feel well. I am here
greeting the Chinese people and people of the whole world," the taikonaut
reported to the ground control in Beijing.

in Beijing, China, shows Chinese taikonaut Zhai Zhigang is outside the
orbital module. (Xinhua Photo)
Chinese leaders including President Hu Jintao watched live
transmission of the spacewalk from the Beijing control center, breaking into
applause with the successful completion of each stage of the maneuver.
Zhai, who is having his 42th birthday next month, was an air force
pilot before enrolled in the manned space program. He grew up in dirt-poor
hardship with five siblings in the country's far northeast.
Minutes after Zhai was outside the capsule, teammate Liu Bomingalso
emerged briefly and handed Zhai a Chinese national flag that Zhai waved in the
outer space against the backdrop of the blue planet Earth. The third crew
member, Jing Haipeng, monitored the ship from inside the re-entry module.
Video monitors at the ground control showed Zhai then slowly leaned
towards a test sample of solid lubricant placed outside the orbital module. He
took the sample and handed it over to Liu.
Solid lubricant is widely used in spacecraft. The test sample carried
by Shenzhou-7 included 11 types of solid lubricants. Chinese scientists said
they hoped to improve the property and lifetime of the materials by studying the
After the handover of the test sample, Zhai, who dreamed of flying
into space when he was a teenager, started the core part of the space adventure
-- spacewalking about 343 km above the earth.
The taikonaut, tethered to the spacecraft with two safety wires and a
long electric cord providing oxygen and communications, moved slowly along a set
of handrails around the orbital module.
Zhai "walked step by step" by shifting the wire hooks connecting him
and the spacecraft.
The live telecast of the historic moment was watched by tens of
millions of Chinese and met with applauses and cheers by crowds before downtown
outdoor screens and office television sets.
"Zhai's spacewalk is more miraculous than science fictions," Yan
Peng, editor-in-chief of a movie magazine, World Screen, said." As a Chinese,
watching this spacewalk is such an enjoyable thing."
At a media center set up for overseas journalists in Beijing, Deng
Yibing, chief engineer of the astronaut training center, turned quite emotional
when watching the live show.
The video grab taken on Sept. 27, 2008
in Beijing, China, shows Chinese taikonaut Zhai Zhigang outside module
after opening the door of the orbital module. (Xinhua
"The spacewalk was done exactly as it was planed," Deng said.
"As a man with China's manned space program, watching Zhai Zhigang
walking in space is like a mother watching her tottering child," he said. "Even
though the steps were still a little bit staggering, I am so happy and
The successful spacewalk also brought excitement to southwest China's
Sichuan Province, where people are still struggling to recover from a deadly
earthquake in May.
"Mankind is so small in universe, but we are also brave. The
taikonaut's courage to explore the unknown universe is an inspiration to me,"
Deng Fuqiang, a teacher at a tent school in Mianyang.
"No matter it is natural disaster or space exploration, I believe
there is nothing we cannot overcome as long as we pool our efforts and be
united," said Deng, who watched the online broadcast in his office.

After staying outside the capsule for about 20 minutes and traveling
about 9,165 km along with the spacecraft in space, Zhai returned to the orbital
module in a foot-in-first position, marking a complete success of China's first
space walk.
President Hu talked with the trio taikonauts after Zhai and
Liuchanged back to working uniforms and joined Jing at the re-entry module.
Hu hailed the spacewalk as a breakthrough and thanked the taikonauts
for their devotion and excellent performance.
"How did you feel like in space after exiting the module?" asked a
smiling Hu, who was talking on phone with the taikonauts.
"I felt superb," answered Zhai. "The process of taking on the Feitian
spacesuit went smooth," said Zhai, looking confident and radiant on the screen
at the BACC. "In the vast space, I felt proud of our motherland," he said.
The Shenzhou-7 spacecraft took off from northwest China's Jiuquan
Satellite Launch Center at 9:10 p.m. on Thursday, and is scheduled to land on
the Inner Mongolia steppe at about 5:40 p.m. on Sunday.
Before its return, the Shenzhou-7 will carry out trials of satellite
data relay, a task aimed to improve the coverage and efficiency of China's
satellite observation network.
In 2003, China became the third country after the United
States and Russia to send a human into orbit. It followed with a two-man mission
in 2005. The successful spacewalk makes China the third to master the
extravehicular activity (EVA) technology following the United States and Russia.

EDM's Five Biggest Hacks
We like Hardwell as a person, but we think he might be a robot built by marketers to make them money.
What makes someone a hack? A hack purports to be something he's not. It's a person who holds himself above others on false grounds. The entertainment industry is full of them, and tons of people get into the music industry for the wrong reasons.
We can't help ourselves from feeling that a highly paid musician should probably, we don't know, give a shit. If you just want to be an entertainer, that's cool, just say so. Afrojack said he just wants to be a pop star. And he is! That's being upfront with yourself and others. But there are tons of people in this game who just suck. They're in it for ego. They may or may not actually contribute anything but a face.
Here are EDM's five biggest hacks.

This fresh-faced Tiësto protégé is sweeping the charts and topping the lineups of every major festival in the world. He started DJing at the age of 12 (what?) and got signed to his first record label a year later (calling shenanigans). His music is critically meh, but worse things have been released. He's a nice enough guy, so what makes us say he's a hack? We had the chance to interview the kid before one of his sets at Story Miami, and we asked the rather basic question, "What was the hardest thing you faced on your road to success?" Unbelievably, he couldn't think of a single hardship. Not one obstacle came to mind. What are you, Hardwell? A fucking robot? Are you a human being at all? Did someone in a suit just find you and think, "He's got a good face for
billboards Times Square, let's sign him and make some money"? Since no one is perfect, the only reasonable explanation is you're not emotionally invested in music at all. Or you're scared of being honest because your handlers run your life. In either case, you're just a tool.

Mix flour, butter, a little sugar and some milk and what do you get? Pure elegance.
What scones are made of may be simple in nature, but these little treats hold a lot of history.
According to the "King Arthur Flour 200th Anniversary Cookbook," scones originated as a Scottish quick bread. Because wheat doesn't grow well in Scotland, scones were made by mixing oat or barley flour into a dough with water (but no leavener) and cooked on a griddle.
Wheat flour had to be imported and therefore was expensive, so scones with wheat flour were eaten only on special occasions. Only wealthy people could afford to eat them on a daily basis, which is how they got their elegant reputation.
These days, the Scots eat freshly baked scones with butter and honey. A proper cream tea scone in England is served with strawberry jam and clotted cream. But in America? Get ready for everything but the kitchen sink.
"In Europe you'll see more plain scones. The rich part is supposed to be what you spread on it," said Susan Reid, editor of the King Arthur Flour publication "The Baking Sheet." "In America we'll put in nuts, chocolate chips, pumpkin and dried fruit. I doubt very much that you'd see a pumpkin scone in London!"
In addition to mix-ins, America's scones will have more butter. "Eggs also start to sneak in there, and the overall consistency is more cake-like," said Reid.
Scones are almost nonexistent in the South, she said.
"When King Arthur Flour does cooking demos on the road, many people in the South will have no idea what they are. We call them 'biscuits without the drama.'"
To make scones, take dry ingredients (usually a mixture of flour, sugar, baking powder and salt) and cut in cold pieces of butter so that no big shards of butter remain. The fat coats the flour, which makes it tender (not flaky like a pie crust). You can use any type of liquid to moisten the dough, from skim milk to heavy cream or even buttermilk or yogurt. The richer the dairy product is, the richer the scone.
Once the dough is mixed and comes together, you pat it into a circle and cut wedges and bake at a high temperature (usually around 400 degrees). In America, it's also common to brush the tops with cream and sprinkle them with sugar before baking.
If you don't feel like making scones yourself, several Milwaukee restaurants take care of all the work for you in the ever-popular afternoon tea.
The Watts Tea Shop has been serving afternoon tea for 90 years in its downtown location, ever since the restaurant opened.
"Afternoon tea has evolved. It's a social thing, much more fun than in the past when it was pretty stuffy," said Jori Kautza, who has been a server at the tea shop for eight years. "Now you get different types of sandwiches, yummy desserts, and teas have expanded with more flavors and varieties."
During tea at Watts ($18.95), each guest picks a personalized pot of tea from an extensive list. The first course is a plate of mini-sandwiches and fruit. The next course is the restaurant's famous sunshine cake. "It's a light cake with fresh custard filling and chiffon topping. People are crazy about it," Kautza said.
Diners also get a chocolate truffle and the homemade scone of the day. Some of the most popular flavors of scones they've served include white chocolate cranberry, brown sugar pecan and cranberry walnut.
"Our scones are moist and delicious," she said. "They just melt in your mouth." Afternoon tea at Watts Tea Shop is available year-round from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Just a few blocks away on the 23rd floor of the Pfister Hotel, tea partygoers can take in magnificent views of Lake Michigan as they sip tea and nibble on scones and other treats.
"Afternoon tea is a special event type of thing. The full experience will take you two hours," said executive chef Brian Frakes. "Ladies really enjoy it because they get to sit and be ladies. It's a real throwback experience."
The tea is a traditional Victorian tea "with a twist," said Frakes. Each guest gets his or her own pot to seep, and each table receives its own personal tea butler to recommend flavors and garnishes. The basic tea (called "Simple Elegance," for $14) includes tea with freshly baked scones, Devonshire cream, lemon curd and strawberry preserves.
A more elaborate Victorian tea, for $30, includes tea sandwiches, curried quail eggs, Crab Louie salad, smoked salmon and crepes, scones and the same toppers from above, plus a traditional opera torte, pumpkin muffin poppers and a chocolate-dipped strawberry.
The Pfister even offers a personalized tea for kids called "All Grown Up" ($11) that features hot chocolate with peanut butter and jelly scones.
In addition, on the first floor at Cafe at the Pfister, diners can buy scones year-round, and the flavors change constantly.
"We like to keep scones more traditional at afternoon tea and go really aggressive with the flavors in the cafe," said Frakes. "We've done piña colada, cinnamon scones and strawberry cream.
"The size of them is much larger in the cafe too. It's like eating a slice of pizza," he said of the 5-by-8-inch scones. Afternoon tea at the Pfister runs seasonally from Nov. 1 to March 30.
In addition to afternoon tea, the American scone has wedged itself into regular mealtimes. Reid recommends adding them to the bread basket for dinner.
"I also really like scones next to scrambled eggs for breakfast," she said. "A maple oat scone with a side of eggs and a cup of coffee would make me really happy."
5 tips to make well-shaped, tasty scones
A scone shouldn't be reminiscent of a hockey puck. It should be tender, moist and just slightly crumbly. Here are a few tips to make standout scones.
1. Don't overmix the dough. It's a common issue in baking and especially true here. An overworked dough will give you a tough product.
2. If flat scones are your problem, try setting them in the fridge for 20 minutes before baking. This is meant to chill the butter. If the butter isn't chilled enough within the dough, the butter will melt too quickly and cause the scone to flatten.
3. When mixing your scone dough, there's always a part in the mixing bowl that's too dusty and dry. To incorporate this into the dough without overmixing, place a large piece of parchment on the counter. Scoop the dough on the parchment and fold the dry area over using the paper. This trick also works with pie dough.
4. To make scones into perfect wedges, line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper. Pat the scones in the pan and use the parchment to flip the dough from the pan. Voilà! A perfect circle.
5. Planning for a crowd? You can freeze scones ahead of time. Make the dough and cut them as you normally would. Place them on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and freeze. Then transfer the scones to a freezer bag and take out as needed.
You can bake these directly from the freezer, but you may need to add another two or three minutes to the regular baking time.

NoNos Cafe
With Cajun on the brain this week, I made a run down to Littleton for NoNo's Cafe, long a local favorite among a certain clientele despite its decidedly Cracker Barrel-lite style of decor and inauspicious strip-mall location. Who, exactly, is this certain clientele? Beats the hell out of me, but they must be of the forgiving sort, because I can't see a single reason why I would ever return. To look at the restaurant's website (www.nonoscafe.com) and read the list of quoted reviews, it would appear that no one has had anything good to say about the place since 1996 -- the year it opened. Me? I'm not such a nice guy, but I'm not even sure where to start. There was the flavorless, dry penne mac-and-cheese, the steam-table jambalaya with its vaguely authentic dirty rice studded with flaccid slices of sausage and terrible old bits of chicken and beef. The bisque was made with gray shrimp, the shepherd's pie with gray beef. The menu (like the dining rooms) is done in a hodgepodge of styles: some Italian, a little American, some curries and a bunch of bayou classics all being abused by a kitchen that seems overly proud of itself for not doing much of anything good. The one saving grace were the desserts: The sweet-potato crunch was a perfect post-Thanksgiving taste of a vegetable disguised as candy, and the bread pudding, while not the best I've ever had, was sweet and dense and swamped in a tasty bourbon sauce powerful enough to burn away the greasy aftertaste of the shepherd's pie.

I think the maintainer didn't do « fedpkg build » (or that would have generated a build for the current branch) but instead use « koji build dist-6E-epel git://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/... » I don't think Koji knows (nor should it) about the branches in Git and what target they correspond to, so it can't enforce that someone doesn't e.g build for el6 something from the master branch. It's still very annoying, for example: - it's very confusing for someone looking at the repository - it totally defeats the purpose of a potential FTBFS run (trying to build something different from what is in the distribution) - it makes life harder for downstream consumers of Fedora who rebuild stuff out of our Git trees - it's generally bad for any kind of (automatic) process based on our Git trees Not sure what to do about it though, issuing an update just to synchronize the repos with Git seems overkill, but leaving them out of sync is not right. :( -- Mathieu
