China shadow looms large over bid to scrap Tiananmen crackdown museum in Hong Kong
By Grace Li and Alice Woodhouse
HONG KONG (Reuters) - A planned museum dedicated to the brutal crackdown on China's Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests has run into a legal challenge in Hong Kong that some say is motivated by pro-China interests ahead of the 25th anniversary of the bloodshed.
The former British colony of Hong Kong returned to Chinese rule in 1997 but remains a free-wheeling, capitalist hub whose annual candlelight vigils on June 4 set it apart from mainland China where all public commemorations are banned.
Discussion of the Tiananmen Square crackdown is still taboo in China, where on June 3 and June 4, 1989, its leaders ordered troops to open fire on demonstrators and sent in tanks to crush a student-led campaign movement, killing hundreds.
But 17 years since Hong Kong was handed back to China, a bid to establish the world's first permanent museum dedicated to the crackdown in an 800-sq-ft, fifth-floor unit in a commercial tower has been opposed by the owners' committee.
The row could escalate into a broader headache for Beijing amid rising resentment over China's tightening control over the city's affairs and calls for universal suffrage.
The ability of Hong Kong residents to debate the June 4 crackdown remains a potent symbol of the city's freedoms and civil liberties relative to Communist Party-ruled China.
The museum, now being renovated by construction workers and due to open in late April, will feature photographs, a goddess of democracy and other documentary materials chronicling the crackdown.
The Chinese demonstrators built the goddess statue as a symbol of their struggle and it has been replicated at June 4 anniversaries in Hong Kong. Continued...

Breakups on the big screen don't differ much from those in real life. The dumper usually starts off gently, easing into the bad news with four simple words: "We need to talk."
But it's the dumpees' larger-than-life reactions on screen that set these splits apart. After all, how many breakups end with well-aimed punches and dramatic screaming?
Watch New York magazine's Vulture video to see the big screen's best breakup scenes, from the most anguished ("Brokeback Mountain") to the most iconic ("Gone With The Wind") to the funniest ("Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby").

Remington M, Graphic Designer
Remington McElhaney, a 19-year-old college freshman in Northern Idaho, was a part-time cook at a local ski resort throughout high school and into his freshman year of college. One day he came across a blog highlighting the benefits of freelancing on Elance. And as any other curious teenager would, Remington logged onto Elance and decided to try making some money from his favorite hobby – animation graphic design.
After one month on Elance, Remington declared his independence as a line cook and is now earning double on Elance as an animation graphic designer. Since there aren't a lot of opportunities for graphic designs in Idaho, Elance offers a really fun and practical way for him to gain career experience and make some extra money. Plus, he won't have to go back to cooking.

Buy Slot Machines
Though the increasing presence of poker on television and the Internet shows that it is an extremely popular casino game, walking into any casino in the world shows that slots still rule. Since they are easy to play, cheap to play, and stay entertaining for hours, slot machines are inviting for both professional gamblers and visitors to a casino. Though it can be great fun to have your own slots, there are a few things to consider before you buy your own slot machines.
Any slot machines available for private sale are, on average, four to nine years old. When you're ready to buy slot machines, find a dealer who completely refurbishes their slots. A complete refurbishing will include the replacement of the mechanical parts, a full cleaning, light bulb change, and replacement of any damaged glass or reel strips.
Be Cautious before You Buy Slot Machines
When buying slot machines, be wary of any dealer selling the slots "as is." Even if a machine has seen limited casino play, it's likely to have had over a million coins run through it and will require a tune up before playing like new. Research the dealers before you shop--find out if they have refurbished the machines themselves and if they employ their own technical staff. Remember, slot machines have delicate mechanics and computerized boards inside which require expert servicing.
A respectable dealer is Gamblers Choice, who puts each of their slot machines through a 35 point refurbishing process. Their friendly and knowledge staff offers free tech support on your machine and they guarantee a one-year warranty on all slot machines they sell. When you're ready to buy, give them a call at 937-260-1300, send an email to email@example.com, or contact them at www.gamblerschoiceonline.com/contact_us.

- Australian politics: full coverage
- The Pulse: Live from Parliament
- Gillard tweets best wishes to Rudd
- Tony Wright: Relief and anger
Clive Palmer believes Kevin Rudd was the ''victim of a relentless and self-serving propaganda'' campaign waged by Rupert Murdoch's media empire.
In Canberra on Thursday morning Mr Palmer, the Member for Fairfax, said he sympathised with the former prime minister's decision to retire.
"I sympathise with Kevin Rudd as he is retiring as a result of the personal attacks against him by the Murdoch press," Mr Palmer said.
"He had no chance of winning the September federal election because of the propaganda campaign against him by the Murdoch newspapers around the country.''
News Corp Australia's coverage of the 2013 federal election campaign was criticised by observers for perceived bias against the Labor government and internal Labor Party research indicated the coverage from Murdoch's newspapers was unfavourable to Mr Rudd.
Mr Palmer said the outgoing Member for Griffith had served the people of Australia well for almost two decades.
"Kevin Rudd didn't deserve to be savagely slandered by the Murdoch media interests,'' he said.
"Mr Rudd served the nation honourably and he was devoted to serving the community for two decades.
"I wish him and his family well in his retirement from politics."
In Brisbane this morning Premier Campbell Newman also thanked Mr Rudd for his ''service to the nation'' and ''to the state of Queensland''.
He highlighted his apology to indigenous Australians on February 13, 2008 as a key achievement.
''One thing that I reflect on, that I think was very important and I think it was very significant, was the apology to indigenous Australians," Mr Newman said.
Mr Newman recognised Mr Rudd's time serving as a politician and as a senior public servant.
''He has been a public life as a political figure, but he also served in the administration of Mr Goss, '' Mr Newman said this morning.
''And no doubt he'll continue to serve this nation and this community.
''So, I thank him for his service and I wish him the very best for the future, for him and his family.''
Queensland's Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk said Mr Rudd had made a huge contribution to Australia.
"His apology I think resonated with people right across Australia," she said.
"Now it is the job of the Australian Labor party to find a really good candidate there, to stand for the seat of Griffith."
Ms Palaszczuk said Queensland will miss Kevin Rudd.
"I personally think Kevin Rudd had a great role to play and Queensland will miss Kevin Rudd," she said.
She said former state secretary and current Brisbane City Council opposition leader, Milton Dick, was running a review of the federal election.

The Japanese Government's Response to Disaster
The chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has given a much more dire analysis of the nuclear threat bearing down on Japan than Japanese officials. Gregory Jaczko told Congress yesterday that the damage to at least one reactor at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant was more serious than Tokyo has described, and suggested Americans in that country stay at least 50 miles away — well above the Japanese evacuation area of 12 miles from the plant.
Questions over whether the government is being completely open with the Japanese people during this crisis has led some to wonder about the efficiency of not only the problem at the nuclear plant, but also about the efficiency of the entire relief and rescue operation going on in Japan right now. Noriko Hama, professor of economics and Vice Dean of Doshisha University in Kyoto says Japan has particular bureaucratic constraints that might hinder such a massive emergency operation.

wikiHow to Stop Giving Attitude to Your Mom
Have you felt bad about giving your mom some bad attitude? Here are some ways you may avoid the guilt and hard feelings that bad attitudes can cause.
1Don't throw a tantrum. Remember that if you ask your Mom for something, and she says no, do not throw a temper tantrum. Otherwise, your Mom will never change her mind, and never buy you the item. If you do throw the fit then either your Mom will punish you (unless she's really nice), or never buy you the item.
2Avoid out-of-control tempers. Avoid situations where tempers can get out of control. If you need to talk to her about something, find out what kind of mood she is in. If she is stressed from work, trying to deal with a sibling's problem, or household responsibilities, she may not be able to deal with you at that moment.
3Be aware of her body language and tone. If you can tell you may be on the verge of pushing the "wrong" button, back off, and let the matter rest.
4Be aware of your own mood. If an issue is pressing and you need some time to think about it, or just to cool down, back off before anyone loses control.
5Be responsible. Take responsibility for situations when you are able to. If there is something you can do about a situation without involving your mom, try to deal with it yourself. If you want a new pair of shoes, and don't think she will buy them, look for a job or other source of income, or save up and buy them yourself.
6Be proactive about situations which may cause conflict. If you are frequently arguing about a particular chore, do it in a timely manner, and your mom won't have to fuss at you, which in turn may make you cop an attitude.
7Stop complaining. Don't always complain you don't get what you want. You should consider both how much you do get, and how able she is to provide what you want. Often, we do not consider how well off we are, nor do we consider how hard parents work and scrimp to provide what we have.
8Try to compromise with her. Even if you are dead set on getting what you want, you may be better off compromising than losing an argument and having hurt feelings.
9Keep your problems with others. Keep your problems with your siblings, peers, teachers, and others out of your attitude with your Mom. If you are mad or upset with someone else, your Mom does not deserve to take abuse from you because of it.
10Know that she's looking out for you. Remember that your Mom probably wants what is best for you, and, in fact, may know better than you do what that is.
11Remember that she too might have had a tough day. Therefore complaining about yours won't help at all. But you can also "swap" and tell each other about your day.
12Listen to her. Make sure to listen to what she has to say.
13Follow her commands. When she asks you to do something, do it; don't give her a chance to complain.

Any given Thursday
Linux Today has been gracious enough to post the Tuesday blog post and the responses to it on that page hit home with a topic — Linux evangelism — that needs to be discussed.
This is very important, so pay attention.
Important point number one: How you present FOSS is probably more important than actually promoting Linux and FOSS. Let me say that again: How you present FOSS is probably more important than actually promoting GNU/Linux and FOSS.
[Yeah, I said it twice, but not because of the Linux-vs.-GNU/Linux thing, though that was very convenient, huh?]
This is how we do it in Felton Farmers Market table: We essentially ask "Do you know about Linux?" If not, we explain what it is. If so, we ask them about their experience. What we stress is, in both cases, "Remember, you have a choice." And the choice is simple — either you can have an operating system and software that you own (and is not licensed to you) or you can have an operating system and software that puts you at the mercy of those who own it (i.e., Microsoft, Apple, etc.).
Yes, it may take a little work to get up to speed, but the trade-off is that you're essentially free of viruses, spyware, malware, etc., and your system (especially an older one) will run faster. Also, if you need help, we let them know that the Felton Linux Users Group (for which the table is set up) can help.
The key operating word here is choice: You give the people the choice of whether they want an operating system and software that is theirs to own, that is free (as in beer/KookAid/bottled water/whatever as well as in freedom) and that, with a little work, they can control more easily than what they might have now.
Or they can choose not to change, and that's completely up to them, which — another important point — is a decision that should be respected no matter how wrong we might think it is.
Which, of course, brings us to . . .
Important point number two: There's no need, let alone no room, for zealotry. The zealotry that's often masked as evangelism harms GNU/Linux and FOSS far more than it helps.
Think about it in these terms — and this is not to cast evangelicals in a negative light, but just to use some of the more zealous, overbearing ones as an example — how effective are those Bible-thumpers you may encounter, telling you you're going to roast like a July 4th marshmallow in the eternal fiery pits of hell's damnation unless you embrace $RELIGION that they profess? Does that kind of pitch fill you with instant inspiration to take them up on their cause, or does it fill you with an overwhelming desire to find the nearest hose and spray them down?
Same thing with Linux/FOSS zealots: If you horse-collar people and tell them they must use GNU/Linux and FOSS or they will die, then you're acting no better than the misguided evangelicals mentioned in the previous paragraph.
We have all been "filled with the Holy Spirit," to use a Christian term for divine inspiration, at some point in our conversion to Linux/FOSS and it's only natural to want people to know what we know, and to experience what we experience, when it comes to our operating system and software. But . . .
Important point number three: People are people. Some people take pride in their car or house and are constantly doing work on them; whether it's tuning up or doing repair work themselves on their car, or being on a first-name basis with the guys and gals at Lowe's or Home Depot while making their home their personal pride and joy.
Then again, some people have ratty cars that are driven into the ground and live in the hovel to which their mail goes — because they don't care.
[This is not to say that people who drive ratty cars don't care. I drive a '92 Toyota Paseo with 316,000 miles because it's all I can afford. It looks like death warmed over, but I do regular maintenance on it and it runs like a champ.]
Some people — more than likely in the first category — are the ones who are more likely to consider their computers as more than just an appliance; the latter may not consider their computers anything more than a television screen with a keyboard.
It's those in the first category that realize what they have in a personal computer (i.e., more than just an appliance) that tend to want to know more of the options in the digital realm. Hence, most of those we encounter at the farmers market fall into the first category.
Those in the second category, well, fall under the "Lead-a-horse-to-water" group. You may not be able to make them drink, and while no one really deserves the slings and arrows that befall Windows users, people have to want to get themselves out of that quagmire before they can actually get out of it. Whether they have to "hit bottom," as they say in AA circles, is worthy of debate, but the main thrust is that they have to want to help themselves.
So to recap: We have most, if not all, of the solutions for everyone to have a free-as-in-freedom digital experience through GNU/Linux and FOSS. It is open to everyone and anyone who wants to participate — at whatever level fits their comfort zone — and the community aspect is one that has the ability to reach far beyond merely the technical realm.
A lot of people, to varying degrees, "get it," and most, sooner or later, they will change from using Windows/Mac to Linux/FOSS. Some don't, and while that's unfortunate, it's their choice.
And that's what this is about — the freedom to choose.
If you've read this far, thanks for staying awake.

Wednesday Morning, 3 a.m.
Sleepless in Felton . . . sort of. Actually, while I load Blender on the laptop, I'll weigh in during the quiet of a San Lorenzo Valley morning, complete with raccoons and skunks fighting in the near distance.
So while Blender goes through the motions — more on why I'm fiddling with this another time — I keep thinking about an article I read yesterday about how Linux is winning.
It's an interesting perspective, worthy of discussion if one is so inspired. It is written from a corporate standpoint, so those of us at on the front lines of converting people to GNU/Linux may not relate directly. But still . . . at the moment, there aren't any replies to the article. But chances are there will be.
While it doesn't keep me up, there has been some rumblings about the fate of OpenSolaris, where finally a fork — or actually a "spork" — of OpenSolaris has manifested itself in the form of Illumos which is led by Nexenta.
Earlier this week, Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier asks the question, should OpenSolaris die? Zonker makes a compelling argument, complete with a heaping helping of history, for those working on OpenSolaris to come into the Linux fold, or failing that, at least to FreeBSD.
I don't want to be a spoiler, but Zonker concludes toward the end of his blog with this: "It seems to me that it'd be a better world for software freedom and free *nix in general if the Solaris die-hards sucked it up and helped work on Linux. Failing that, FreeBSD. Either way, it'd be an improvement over trying to 'spork' OpenSolaris when the effort would be more effective elsewhere."
My limited experience with OpenSolaris is trying to see if it would work on an old, trusty and ever-present Ultra 10 Sun box in the Redwood Digital office. But since Sun boxes account for even less, percentage-wise, than PowerPC Macs, not even OpenSolaris would make a version for them.
Forgetting your roots: Never a good sign.
Time to throw an old shoe out the door to break up the disagreement between nocturnal creatures.
(Fedora ambassador Larry Cafiero runs Redwood Digital Research in Felton, California, and is an associate member of the Free Software Foundation.)
Tuesday afternoon
Astute readers of Larry the Free Software Guy might notice a trend in this week's blogs, and if you said "pop music references," you'd be right. Yesterday's "Monday, Monday" is the title of a song by The Mamas & The Papas, and today's comes to you from the Moody Blues. OK, kids, go ahead and hit Wikipedia to look up those bands we old folks continually talk about . . . .
Tuesday, of course, is farmers market day in the People's Republic of Felton, the town that had the unmitigated audacity to buy its waterworks back from a multinational and put it back in town hands. And at the ring of the bell at 2:30 to signal the start of the market, Felton LUG was set up and ready to go, with both Frank Adamson and me staffing the table.
That's Frank in the photo in the article linked above. Frank, an octagenarian, takes a walk about a mile down the hill every Tuesday to staff the Felton LUG table (not to worry, folks — we make sure Frank gets a ride home up the hill, usually with indefatigable FOSS evangelist Bob Lewis or sometimes his wife drives down to pick him up). An Ubuntu user, Frank has been a FOSS advocate for about a year.
With his work with Felton Friends of Locally Owned Water (FLOW) and other activities in Felton (like the Friends of the Library), Frank seems to know everyone in Felton. People come to the table and say hello to Frank, and immediately Frank starts off into his pitch about FOSS and GNU/Linux.
This farmers market table seems to be working well, not only for the LUG — which had nearly 20 people attend the meeting last Saturday — but also for FOSS in general.
People have a general sense of what Linux is — it's that operating system thing, right? — and seeing it in an arena that's not normally a "tech environment" makes it a lot less threatening, for loss of a better term. So I would strongly urge everyone who wants to promote FOSS, GNU/Linux and Linux (for those who want to make that distinction, which I don't anymore) take the word forth to places where you might not normally find tech talk; like farmers markets, or tractor pulls, or gun shows. Anywhere where people congregate is a place where FOSS can be pitched.
Also, one of the funniest things today was handing out stickers to kids. One kid asked for one, and then her friends came up and said, "Excuse me, can we please have stickers, too?" (Such polite kids we have here in Felton.) At one point the kids had come back several times, and they had stuck the stickers on their shirts, so they were wearing Fedora, OpenSUSE, WordPress and the GNU/Linux "Dynamic Duo" gnu and penguin superhero stickers on their shirts. Sure, I bet moms wanted to strangle me, but one dad commented to me about his daughter, "You know, she looks like a stock car," which I thought was funny.
So Tuesday's down and Wednesday's next. Watch this space.

Monday, Monday
One of the more peculiar items I find when checking my blog stats is that I still get hits for a blog item I wrote in 2008 — 2008 — about Microsoft's 10-K report that year and how it implies how good the open source paradigm might be compared to its own software and its own business model.
Bear in mind that one of the purposes of a 10-K report — somewhat like the medical disclaimers you hear on drug commercials that, after listening to it, would make any normal person avoid the drug at all costs — is to outline any potential pitfall in buying stock in the company you're considering so you can't sue them if, well, the stock goes south; way south.
Why the blog item keeps getting hits is beyond me, but for those who keep reading it, thanks.
A brave man: My friend Steven Rosenberg, who writes a tech column for the Los Angeles Daily News, wades into uncharted territory in his column today, where he outlines dual-booting a Lenovo with Fedora and . . . wait for it . . . Windows 7. As always, Steven's blogs are always informative and instructional, and the reasoning behind his using the Xfce spin of Fedora is something that hadn't occurred to me before. Steven says in the blog that he "prefer(s) the Xfce tools over those in GNOME. I like the Thunar file manager, the way you can 'minimize' a window but keep it visible on the desktop, I like the look (and speed; these helper apps are super-quick) and functionality of the Xfce terminal and Mousepad text editor. The Xfce configuration apps all work great, and there are plenty of them." Nice work, as always, Steven. Keep us posted on this dual-boot adventure.
Survey says: Ken Starks over at the Blog of HeliOS has a fairly interesting survey to be taken, if you have several minutes. Tell Ken how you use GNU/Linux or Linux and help him out.
Now, who wants more coffee?

After a week that everyone, including me, could (and probably should) have switched to decaf for a bit, I only have a couple of items to touch on this week.
First things first: Regarding all this hubbub about Ubuntu not carrying its weight in the FOSS world, the firefight seems to have simmered down and cooler heads — not the least of which was Greg DeKoenigsberg who apologized for calling out Canonical — prevailed in the end (though I don't think you should ever apologize when you're right, but maybe Greg's mea culpa is Exhibit A when it comes to discretion being the greater part of valor).
In a blog entitled "Old Wounds," Greg answers the question why he felt "so compelled to shoot my mouth off in the first place." Most compelling about this blog post is this paragraph toward the end, which speaks volumes to the core issue:
"As Canonical grows, I hope that it lives up to similarly lofty standards — and part of living up to such standards is bearing an ever-increasing share of the weight. It is my very strong, honest, and believe it or not, largely impartial opinion, that after five-plus years of building a global brand on top of the GNOME platform, Canonical should be doing way more to sustain that platform. And although I understand and agree with the arguments that Canonical contributes in many important ways, I contend that it still isn't nearly enough. Not if you want to claim the mantle of leadership. You cannot simply talk the talk; you must ultimately walk the walk."
Agreed. That trumps everything that comes before, my blog on the item originally, Mark Shuttleworth's ad hominem responses to both Greg and me, and we can get on with life in the happy, healthy FOSS world.
And, to quote Forrest Gump, that's all I have to say about that.
Singing in IRC: I was demonstrating the /nick feature, for lack of a better term, to someone watching over my shoulder recently and came up with a way to sing on IRC. I put the folks in #scale on OFTC.net through the following ditty:
17:19 lcafiero is now known as Space_Cowboy
17:19 Space_Cowboy is now known as Gangster_of_Love
17:19 Gangster_of_Love is now known as Maurice
17:20 * Maurice speaks for the pompetous of love
17:20 Maurice is now known as lcafiero
And so on. I did the WEEEEE WOOOOOO! verbally, though I probably should have typed that in, too, in retrospect. Thanks, Steve Miller.

How To Organize Your Closet
Use closet organizersIf, after purging your closet, you still have a lot of clothes but not enough space to fit them in, consider using closet organizers. There are a lot of great models out there that are inexpensive, straightforward to install and likely available at your local hardware store. For heavy sweaters that will stretch out if placed on a hanger or for cashmere and other delicate fabrics, you'll definitely want a shelf, so get one immediately if your closet doesn't have one built in.
If you have two or more pairs of black pants or multiples of any other color of pants, use multitiered hangers to save space. When it comes to shoes, use a shoe rack so you can see all your footwear laid out instead of jumbled up. Make sure to buy a floor shoe rack, however, because the ones that hang over closet doors don't provide proper support for men's shoes. Squeeze as many shoes as possible onto your shoe rack by placing shoes in opposite facing directions.
Make small accessories visibleWhile it may seem like a good idea to place smaller accessories like ties, belts and the like in a drawer, the truth is that you might end up wearing them less often because when you can't see them, you'll forget you own them. Get the most out of your wardrobe by purchasing a set of hooks or even a small rack to throw over your door and hang your accessories. These sets can be extremely cheap, so don't be reluctant to look for one even if you're on a tight budget, and the ones that go over your door require absolutely no time or effort to install.
You can even inspire yourself to dress up a little more often by placing cufflinks that don't cost a fortune in small sealable plastic bags on a hook attached to your closet door. Just don't forget to group similar items together in this space as well because you don't want to have to sift through all your ties to find your favorite belt.

As a student entering the Library and Information Studies program at UBC, managing, categorizing and organizing information is a common and enjoyable task. However, even for someone who seeks to impose rationality and logic, a dollop of semi-orderly chaos always makes the day more exciting.
Beyond the gallery walls, down a long hallway, past numerous doors, in an unusually bright and clean room is the location of CAG's archive. While tidy in appearance, with boxes dedicated to various years in the life of the gallery, the content of these time capsules is rather muddled and heterogeneous, making it quite an adventure to sift through folders of its history.
Having been given the responsibility of going through the archive in the anticipation of the CAG's 40th Anniversary, it became part of my weekly routine; as if a participant in a bingo game, I scanned through the numerous pieces of paper, dates, newspaper articles and rare images to find a winning combination, a highlight of some sort, an informational jackpot.
"BINGO?", echoed in my mind when I got to the box labeled "1986" and its folders dedicated to the 10th Anniversary of the CAG which was inaugurated with an exhibition entitled "Ten Years Later", showcasing the work of seven mature artists who were intertwined with the gallery from its inception. By 1976 the former Greater Vancouver Artists Gallery (present day CAG) had become incorporated as a non profit charitable society from its beginnings in 1971 obtained the Local Initiatives Project (LIP) grant with which it was able to fund artists Marian Penner Bancroft, Judith Lodge,Liz Magor, Al McWiliams, Richard Prince, Judy Williams, and Robert Young (amongst many, many others) in their production of nearly 3,000 artworks over the ten year period and which became part of the City of Vancouver Collection.
Besides the general interest with regard to what the gallery and its anniversary exhibition were like almost 30 years ago, I found particularly fascinating and differing reviews of 'Ten Years Later'.
The real "BINGO!" happened when I came across a short, time-stained and hastily cut-out article entitled "Gallery Bingo" by Douglas Coupland. Written when he was 25, this review was already marked by the witty and informal tone he was to become known for later on. Rather than describing the show, Coupland commented on the effect of this anniversary on the institution, on the transformation of the gallery's image over the years:
"I sensed amongst the crowd an undercurrent of discomfort at their now having become the art establishment, condemned to dressing seriously and playing the role of adults regardless of whether or not they actually feel it."
Interestingly enough, it seems that by its 40th Anniversary, instead of growing into a more conservative and staid establishment, the gallery has maintained its playful vitality.

The average Facebook user has 130 "friends," making it easy to convince yourself that you're WAY more popular now than you were in high school.
But the reality is that our social circles are shrinking -- fast. According to a recent study, the average person only has about two close friends -- down from three buddies 25 years ago. And given that friendships have been shown to be important to your health, happiness and longevity, you should be making more of them, rather than fewer.
Inspired to bond with a new pal? Here are seven types of friends every woman needs:
1. The Intelligent Mentor
This friend is not only smart, she's practical enough to give you the right advice on every topic. She has your best interests at heart and with her been-there, done-that attitude, she's more than happy to share her wisdom with you.
2. The Comedian
This friend has what it takes to distract you from all of your stressors. She's spontaneous, fun and knows how to have a good time. Call her when you need to relax and laugh your problems away.
3. The Travel Buddy
Someone wise once said that a journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles. This friend is adventurous and most importantly, flexible. If you ever want to go anywhere or try something new, she's your gal.
4. The Secret Keeper
It's hard to find a trustworthy person these days, but we all need someone who knows how to keep it zipped — tight. This friend is supportive and will be there for you in your time of need. Most importantly, she won't judge you.
5. The Foodie
This friend knows where all the good markets, cafes and restaurants are, and she's willing to try anything. Her love of arts and culture makes for great conversation, too.
6. The Workout Buddy
After indulging in some good eats, you need a pal who's willing to hit the gym with you. This friend shares your passion for fitness and enjoys turning gym time into quality time. She's motivational, reliable and isn't afraid to spice up the workout routine every once in a while.
7. The Fashionista
This friend knows what's hot and what's definitely not — and she already has both of your outfits planned for Friday night.

I just came across this… thanks to Collis on making this article when the new design was implemented…
I read that too, its an excellent tutorial.
But im also looking for a read thats similar to it, but more in the 'Coding & Development' tips for websites rather than the simple 'HTML, CSS & design techniques'.
For example tips on coding techniques, PHP file structures on general sites like Flashden.net, types of oop, mod re-write… just standard development techniques big sites use. Like how did you create Flashden.net development wise, e.i is it better to keep as much code in a few files or little code in alot of files.
And how do you structure a layout and a site so that its future proof for forum integration and stuff like that.
But nettuts for sure is the best source of web read out there.

Welcome to Boston Bibliophile! Thanks for stopping by. My name is Marie. I'm a bookseller and background actor based in the NYC area. I review books, talk about travel, food, crafts and whatever else is on my mind.
Mostly I review books I enjoyed, but just because a book isn't reviewed doesn't mean I didn't like it. Sometimes my other adventures keep me busy and away from writing reviews right away.
My husband and I moved to NYC in the fall of 2014 for his job; I'm from Boston originally and started this blog is 2007 as a way to share and record my thoughts about books and reading.
I'm passionate about literary fiction from around the world. I am a committed supporter of small presses and especially those specializing in translations.
I read current and backlist literary fiction, crime fiction, thrillers, and narrative nonfiction. I dabble in science fiction to the tune of 3-4 titles per year. I don't review religious Christian books, self-help, YA/kids (unless I love it) or self-published books in any genre.
I am no longer accepting unsolicited review and interview requests, hands-down, no exceptions. Seriously. There is a reason my email address is not on this blog. It's because I don't want emails, so please don't email me.
I may live in NYC now but I'll always be a Boston Bibliophile.

Report: Fracking Fails to Recycle Huge Amounts of Water
A new study on fracking in the Eagle Ford concludes that not enough attention is being paid by the oil companies or by regulators on recycling the large amounts of water that is being used in the fracking process, or on where that water comes from and whether it is depleting local water supplies.
In fact, University of Texas researcher J.P. Nicot told 1200 WOAI's Michael Board that something that may slow down the torrid pace of oil and gas drilling in the Eagle Ford is a lack of water.
He says 92% of water that is used in the fracking process is not recycled.
"3% would be brackish water, and 5% would be water from a previous frack job," he says of the water that is recycled.
He concluded that the fracking industry is making little or no effort to recycle the massive amounts of water is takes from a historically arid part of the state.
Fracking consists of mixing water, sand, and chemicals to bombard shale rock formations deep underground, to fracture, or 'frack' then open to release the billions of barrels of oil and trillions of cubic feet of natural gas that is believed to be trapped inside the formations.
Recycling is not occurring, Nicot said, even in the face of the state's ongoing drought.
"Some companies have tried to do the right thing and recycle, but that is far more expensive than simply injecting the throwback water into disposal wells," he said.
Fracking companies use various sources for the water they use in the process. Some truck in water, others use aquifer water, while still others use specially built ponds to obtain water.
Some fracking firms are experimenting with other substances instead of water, even compressed air, to fracture the shale formations. This could mitigate the impact of potential new regulations to preserve water on the fracking industry.

Mase Forces Diddy to Release Him From Bad Boy
Rapper/minister Mase finally received his walking papers from Diddy and his Bad Boy Records label.
In a move that surprised everyone, Mase arrived at unannounced at Atlanta's V103 radio studio earlier where Diddy and Dirty Money were being interviewed by Ryan Cameron, and asked that he be formally released from his contract with Bad Boy.
Initially Mase, who was Diddy's Bad Boy protege after Biggie's death, and Diddy didn't discuss the contract or Mase's unexpected appearance. During a break from the interview to play Dirty Money's "XXX," Mase handed Diddy a document. Diddy read and signed the paper, which Mase showed to a camera on hand to document Diddy's appearance. (Watch the footage here.)
When the show went back on air, Diddy explained what just happened, "Just be clear [Mase] has the freedom to do whatever he want to do…People have felt like our situation I may have stopped him or whatever, he can do whatever he wanna do. I'm tryna make sure everyone is crystal clear. If you want those Mase verses, getcha hustle on. He gotta slick tongue though, he's a mean negotiator, so you better come with that guap."
After the appearance, Mase excitedly told the cameraman that it had taken him "10 years to get this paperwork right here. I had to put this in UPS; I don't want nothing to spill on it. I don't even know what I'mma put out now. Oh my goodness. We good … I got my official papers right here from Puff Daddy. It was love. So I guess we don't have no problems after all. I don't even know how to take that. I ain't used to Puff doing good stuff."
Previously, Diddy made peace with the LOX, another group from the early days of Bad Boy that was finally able to get out of what was reported a very unfavorable contract with Diddy.
Has Diddy turned over a new leaf?

I shared the tutorial on this chalk board framed saying this week as well. Check out the how to here!
My sister bought these adorable pumpkins for me for my birthday- I am in awe and will be so bummed when I have to take them down for Christmas. Aren't they amazing?
On our front door is my Who's There Wreath I did last year. It's just too cute to not hang again.
And on to the table scape. My kids want it decorated like this every day- of course that isn't realistic but I can't help but agree with them. It's so pretty!
I tied some twine around the napkins and added some acorn pieces to finish them off.
The centerpiece is my favorite!
My green little table has served well for some decor. Add a few pumpkins and a printable and you are good to go!
So there you have it! There is my house for the Fall. I sure wish I could start a fire today but I will settle for burning some amazing candles instead.
Happy Falll Ya'll!! Check out the other amazing Fall Home Tours by clicking below

Exhaust Mod????
Just curious on how its done. I am looking to buy either a 4 or 5 " mbrp system for my truck, and have seen some run it out right before the rear tire. Is this a kit, or just shortening the pipe, and adding a few new hangers. Anyone have or done this? Thanks for the info..

I have seen it done, and it's done just like you said. But the only thing to worry about and its not a big deal would be the mess of exhaust soot you would get on your rim especially if your running a tune.

Save your money on buying a kit and just buy a new Down Pipe. From there go to a truck shop and get some 4" or 5" pipe with a reducer to connect to your down pipe. Then get a 45* or a 90* bend and run it out in front of your tire. It's pretty easy, and you can do it for a fraction of the cost of buying a kit and modifing it.

I had mine cut up from my stock unit. Loved it as far as the sound but it was way to aggravating having to clean soot off the wheel all the time. Taylor (taylorking) has no trouble out of his IIRC.

The two-month opportunity, which launched July 1 and continues through Aug. 31, expands the KeyBank Relationship Rewards(SM) program even as many competitors continue to de-emphasize or eliminate their customer rewards programs. "We're pleased with our customers' response to 'Summer of Rewards'," said Maria C. Coyne, executive vice president of the Consumer & Small Business Banking segment at KeyBank. Coyne said "Summer of Rewards" has been well received across the bank's 14-state footprint. Coyne added: "As a relationship-oriented bank, we see 'Summer of Rewards' as a way to thank our existing customers for their loyalty to Key and to reward them for their everyday banking with us. The program is also a way to introduce Key to potential new customers." From now through Aug 31, new and existing customers enrolled in KeyBank Relationship Rewards can choose to receive double reward points for their banking activities by visiting keybankrewards.com and completing the opt-in process. Key customers not currently enrolled in KeyBank Relationship Rewards can enroll through online banking, accepting the program terms and conditions and completing the enrollment process. Key customers can also enroll by contacting the call center, 1-800-539-2968 or by visiting a branch. Other details on the opt-in process for "Summer of Rewards"(SM) are available at key.com/summerofrewards. Customers begin earning double points the day they opt in. Customers earn rewards several ways, such as paying bills online, making deposits at an ATM, receiving statements electronically, setting up direct deposit of a paycheck, and opening new savings or lending accounts. The "Summer of Rewards" program also features special redemption offers that enable customers to receive certain reward items for fewer accumulated points. Rewards range from retail gift cards, electronics and accessories to airline, hotel, rental car, theme park and cruise discounts. "Our services are driven by what we know about our customers' changing needs, whether that means the kind of banking services we provide or how customers interact with the bank," Coyne said. "The 'Summer of Rewards' program is just one of the many ways we work to connect with our customers."

Witt Homer Highlights Fall Scrimmage
Oct. 5, 2012
LEXINGTON, Ky. - Kentucky baseball wrapped up the first scrimmage of a weekend three-game series with the Black squad earning the win, on a spring-like Friday afternoon at Cliff Hagan Stadium.
The Black squad jumped out on left-hander Jerad Grundy and the Blue squad early as senior Zac Zellers led off the game with a walk. With one out, junior J.T. Riddle knocked a double to bring Zellers home before scoring on a single by sophomore AJ Reed. Reed would get thrown out attempting to advance to second. Sophomore Max Kuhn recorded a double of his own with two outs but Grundy left him stranded and kept it a 2-0 ballgame.
Sophomore Taylor Martin started the game for the Black squad and retired the side in order in the bottom of the first. Junior Matt Reida led off the top of the second for the Black team with an infield single, hustling out a slow-rolling groundball to second base. Reida's leadoff single led to nothing in the bottom top of the second as Grundy got his feet beneath him and settled in.
A Lexington Ky., native, Martin returned to the mound in the bottom of the second and allowed little from the Blue team as he kept them scoreless for a second consecutive inning. Grundy came back out in the top of the third and kept his groove going, throwing a scoreless inning to end his day. Grundy's work was complete through three, allowing just two early runs.
Freshman Dorian Hairston led off the bottom of the third for the Blue team with a line-drive single into rightfield. A sacrifice moved Hairston to second and smart baserunning allowed him to advance to third on a strike three in the dirt. Hairston's smart play gave the Blue team a runner on third with two outs but Martin ended his day on a positive note, throwing a scoreless three innings.
Senior Walter Wijas came on to pitch for the Blue team in the top of the third and threw an efficient first inning of work. Reida reached first but was caught attempting to take second by catcher Micheal Thomas. Freshman lefty Dylan Dwyer took the hill for the Black team and got some help defensively during his scoreless first inning. With UK centerfielder Austin Cousino on first, Dwyer forced a ground ball to Reed, who stepped on first and then threw to second to tag Cousino for the 3-6, inning-ending double play.
The Black team tallied another run in the top of the fifth as freshman Kyle Barrett got it going with a one-out walk before stealing second. Fellow Freshman Storm Wilson delivered an RBI single into right to score Barrett and increase the Black squad's lead to 3-0. Zellers singled up the middle but Cousino saved a run for the Blue team, gunning Wilson at home to end the inning.
Dwyer came back out and retired the side in order in the bottom of the fifth.
Junior Lucas Witt led off the top of the sixth with a deep home run over the leftfield wall for the Black team. The solo shot gave the Black team a 4-0 lead in the final inning of play.
With his team holding onto a 4-0 lead, Dwyer came out and finished the game, keeping the Blue team scoreless on the day.
Kentucky will continue its fall action Saturday morning with a 9:45 a.m. ET. The final game of the series will take place Sunday, with expected first pitch to come at 1:05 p.m.

Boschiero new Euro super feather champion
On Saturday in Piove di Sacco, Padova, Italy, Devis Boschiero (31-1-1, 15 KOs) was crowned the new European super featherweight champion by unanimous decision (117-111, 116-112, 116-113) after a great fight with brave defending champion Ermano Fegatilli (25-5, 5 KOs). Now Boschiero, as recommended in the WBC convention in Las Vegas last December, wants a deserved rematch with WBC 130lb champion Takahiro Aoh.
On the undercard European lightweight official challenger, WBC #9 and WBA #13 Luca "Black Mamba" Giacon (20-0, 18 KOs) stopped durable Jevgenijs Kirillovs on a cut in round four and welterweight Antonio Moscatiello decisioned Konstantins Sakara in six rounds.
Sportitalia 2 televised the show live in Italy. OPI 2000 (Salvatore and Christian Cherchi) promoted it.

- Stylist:
- Candace
May 21, 2009 - I started going to Candace after reading about her on this website. Going to her has made a huge difference in my hair. It made me realize that most stylists don't really understand curly/wavy hair. The other great thing is that her cuts grow out so much better than the cuts any other stylist I've had. I also love that she really respects the fact that I only want to spend 5 minutes on my hair most days and the cut she has given me allows me to do that.

Step one: Get an accurate diagnosis
The numbness in your wrists and hands could be caused by carpal tunnel syndrome—but it could also be due to other conditions such as wrist arthritis or De Quervain's tenosynovitis. Carpal tunnel syndrome is often mis-diagnosed; that's why it's so important to be treated by a hand expert. Dr. John Krebs at the Center for Orthopedics is fellowship-trained in hand surgery, a sub-specialty of orthopedic surgery. He completed a Cleveland Combined Hand Fellowship at the University Hospitals of Cleveland and the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. Dr. Krebs is board-certified in orthopedic surgery, and certified with added qualifications (CAQ) in hand surgery by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery. He is trained in state-of-the-art hand surgery procedures and can help restore your hands' normal function.
Dr. Krebs answers questions about carpal tunnel syndrome
What is carpal tunnel syndrome?
"Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition where the tendons in the wrist swell and put pressure on the median nerve that helps supply feeling in the hand. If you have carpal tunnel syndrome, your hand will have pain and numbness and might even wake you up at night. It often gets worse with certain activities, such as driving or performing repetitive motions."
What is the carpal tunnel?
"The carpal tunnel is a space in your wrist surrounded by the carpal bones. The roof of the tunnel, the transverse carpal ligament, sits at the top of this tunnel. Over years of use, the ligament gets thicker and puts pressure on the median nerve. Nerves don't like pressure. Once you put pressure on that nerve, your fingers start going numb."
What causes carpal tunnel syndrome?
"The cause of carpal tunnel syndrome is not completely understood—though we do know that women are three times more likely to develop this condition than men. Some known causes of carpal tunnel syndrome are:
- Heredity
- Repetitive hand or wrist motion over long periods of time
- Hormonal changes due to pregnancy and menopause
- Diabetes
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Thyroid gland imbalance
How is carpal tunnel syndrome diagnosed?
"Carpal tunnel syndrome is normally diagnosed with a test called an electromyogramor EMG, which checks the health of the muscles and the nerves that control them. But even when an EMG indicates carpal tunnel syndrome, it doesn't necessarily mean you have it."
Are patients with carpal tunnel syndrome often mis-diagnosed?
"Yes. Some patients who come in with chronic wrist pain have had an EMG and been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome—but they don't have any numbness or tingling in their hands. In these cases, the patients do not have carpal tunnel syndrome; they have basal joint arthritis." "On the other hand, you could have a positive EMG test for carpal tunnel syndrome, but that doesn't necessarily mean you have any symptoms."
How is carpal tunnel syndrome treated?
"If carpal tunnel syndrome starts to bother you, you can wear a carpal tunnel splint that keeps your wrist in a natural position and takes some of the pressure off the nerve. Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory NSAID medications such as ibuprofen can also help relieve the pain. Sometimes cortisone injections can also help."
Is surgery ever needed for carpal tunnel syndrome?
"In some cases, yes. If your hands are numb all the time and carpal tunnel syndrome is bothering you at work and waking you up at night, carpal tunnel surgery can relieve the problem."
How is carpal tunnel surgery performed?
"During this minimally invasive outpatient procedure, I transect, or cut across, the ligament that forms the roof of the carpal tunnel. This takes the pressure off the median nerve and relieves the pain and numbness of carpal tunnel syndrome. The incision is only 1/2″, so there's minimal trauma to the nerve and faster recovery."

Power Supply Transformer
I'm getting ready to start on the LM4780 kit from AudioSector.
I happen to run across a pair of 24V transformers, but they only have single secondaries. Is there any way to get it these to work for this circuit, or do I need dual secondaries?
Re: Power Supply Transformer
You can use two transformers that have single secondaries. Just use one trafos secondaries for the AC1 H&N and the other secondaries for the AC2 H&N.
Bal where did you see the single secondary transformers? Were they toroids?
2 Attachment(s)
I bought them locally. They are Mercury Magnetics 24V transformers. I've attached a pic.
Also, if I have to use 2 of them, can I connect both xfmrs to the same AC plug, or will each xfmr need it's own?
You can use one line cord to power both transformers. You should also install a fuse. Be careful about getting the line cord "polarity" correct.
The nature of your question leads me to believe you have never wired anything like this before. I recommend that you find someone local to you who has some experience with this sort of thing and have them check your work before you connect power to it.
Test your power supply before you go to the trouble of building and connecting the amplifier circuit.
Good luck!
Thanks for the help. This is my first PS project, and I intend to build and test it before I hook it up to my amp.
Thanks again
What do you do if the tranny has dual 115V primaries? I just wanna run 115V coming in...
BTW I just found a super deal on Avel Lindberg encapsulated toroidals...90VA 20V+20V 7% regulation for $20 each. Would this make a decent transformer for a single LM3875?
Where did you find that deal? Send a link.
No link...email me if you're interested email@example.com

Finally, consider selling if:
Do not sell just because:
The preceding are subjective reasons to sell or not to sell. There are many more scenarios and this barely touches the surface.
The desire to quickly sell a recent investment should rank with a desire to swim across the English channel during the height of WW II, or with a desire to wear a black winter snowsuit and stand in the middle of the Old Town square here in Alexandria, VA, on a humid, 100-degree sun-drenched day.
Selling quickly isn't Foolish when you buy good companies. The goal is to hold forever, if possible. Even so, there can come a time when you need to sell or when you should at least consider selling. Fools frequently ask on the discussion board and in e-mail, "When should a Foolish investor sell a Drip investment that became a mistake? And how do we know to sell?"
There are few set rules (i.e., "always sell when...") because investment situations vary greatly, but there are many guidelines to consider.
If a company is failing you, you should consider selling if the failure appears to be long-term or permanent in nature. Don't be a hero when your ship is sinking. When you realize that you have made a mistake (and that could take months of thinking -- don't rush to sell, just as you shouldn't rush to buy), admit the mistake and seek higher ground. Consider selling if your company:
Practical Issues of Selling
There are practical reasons to sell stock, of course, including when you need money. Do try to exhaust other avenues first if you're selling only due to a short-term cash crunch; you'll lose the dollar-cost averaging benefits you achieved as soon as you sell, and you'll need to pay taxes on gains. If you do need to sell, the only recommendation we have is this: consider keeping a minimal amount of shares in the plan (in most cases, one share will suffice) so the account isn't closed. This way you can always begin to invest in the plan again without fees or the enrollment hassle -- even years later.
Selling a portion of your shares is easy. Just specify the number of shares you wish to sell on a plan statement (or, with some plans, over the phone), and typically within a week or two your shares will be sold and you'll be sent a check. Another option is to have the plan administrator mail a stock certificate to you that you can then sell through a regular broker. This might make sense if your plan charges high sales fees.
Completely closing a plan and selling all your shares is equally easy. On a plan statement, ask to close the plan and request the sale of all shares and a check payment, or request a stock certificate for the shares.
You might also consider selling if your direct investing career finds you eager to try different types of investing, from buying young, fast-growing Rule Breakers, to the Foolish Four, to Rule Makers or Boring Port stocks (many of which have direct investment plans).
In the end, know that selling a winning company almost never pays in the long run. The GEs and Coca-Colas of the world eventually climb to a higher plain. The ultimate goal is to find great companies that you can hold into -- and through -- retirement. As you retire, perhaps you'll merely cancel your plans' dividend reinvestment option and live on cash dividend payments alone, never needing to sell much or any of your stock. Oh, you'll be the favorite grandparent of all!
Fool on!
Finally, consider selling if:
Do not sell just because:
The preceding are subjective reasons to sell or not to sell. There are many more scenarios and this barely touches the surface.

I'm so happy at all the gifts and stuff I've been given. It's almost my birthday and mama's going to make me my own Cornish hen, English peas and a surprise. I hope it's catnip!!
Mama has been working really hard on my site. Here's the new address. It moved. I think it's funny it moved but mama's still sitting where she always does.
Please sign my guestbook. I'm trying to get 50,000 friends by the end of the year between my sites. I love EVERYBODY! Mama has been on here making me friends tonight.
Bad news though. She found her camera reader and I heard that MOO-vie word. I think she wants to make one of me eating. She makes stupid noises and takes my plate away to make me look up. NO FAIR!!
Check me out on Facebook if you have time. I'm under Furby the Feral Feline.
Mama is making plans to go on a declawing protest next year. She's on Facebook under Elisa Black-Taylor. She's made so many friends there that Facebook is mad at her. So am I. I thought I hid the camera card reader where she wouldn't find it.
Oh! Me and Lola caught 2 mice last week. Mama and sissy wouldn't let us keep them.
I'm gonna send out some gifts soon. I'm still looking for a girlfriend. I have a few but they're engaged to other cats.
It's been a L-O-N-G day. I've single handedly managed to jam up all of the cameras so mama can't take my picture. Yay me! That means I can take my naps without her chasing after me for more pictures. She said something about having to order a card reader.
I meowed a lot at the cat in the ceiling above the ceiling fan. He looks just like me. I stared at him so hard I fell off of the coffee table. Then I went and got on top of the TV and fell off of there too.
Mama says she needs to take out something called insurance on me. Is that bad?
Oh, mama got a promotion on the pictures-of-cats.org site. She's getting her own page. Yay mama! She'll never have time to chase me with the camera now. I hope.
I'm so happy. I'm so close to being famous I can taste it. And it tastes like chicken and catnip. I can't wait!
I'd like to thank everybody that has supported me since the beginning. And I'd like to thank mama for writing my diary entries. In case you all don't know, I can read but I can't write. For one thing, mama is on the computer so much I hate to ask her for sharing rights. I'd rather just nap anyway.
She's started a blog on me now. Its at furby-the-cat.blogspot.com. I never knew I could get so much attention from being a bad little man. I really can't help myself. I love to knock really heavy things off of the bar.
Mama just got another website up. It's a furby-the-cat-gallery.com and is for photos. Mama is still building it so it looks a little funny. It should be OK in a few days. If mama's head doesn't blow up again. It's already exploded twice. She'll be holding her forehead (to prevent wrinkles) and the back of her head (that's where the explosion happens) and gets a really crazy look on her face. She told me learning causes it. I hope I never meet "learning" because I'll show him a thing or two.
I follow mama to bed to make sure she doesn't forget my nightly massage. She's been good about remembering so far.
I'm gonna go now. We haven't used that "camera" word this week so maybe I'll take another nap. My website goes public tomorrow and mama has a lot to do tonight.

Project DescriptionBuilder's Choice and Custom Home Awards Finalist
This house, located in Annapolis, Md., is built on the foundation of a 1960s post and beam modern house. The foundation was kept in an effort to retain its proximity to Crab Creek, an estuary that feeds the Chesapeake Bay. Strict environmental regulations prohibited enlarging the preexisting footprint or adding significant square footage to the house. The house is organized around a linear bar, clad in white stucco. From this central spine, additional spaces are articulated as independent volumes, projecting vertically and clad in either wood or metal siding. The spaces are also organized around a swimming pool and views toward Crab Creek. A continuous wall of glass and covered porch heightens the interaction between inside and outside. The primary spaces in the house are oriented toward the water views, have high ceilings and are light filled. Materials used throughout the interior include white oak flooring and millwork, black slate, white marble, rusted steel and translucent glass. Additional materials used on the exterior include field stone, board-formed concrete, bluestone and ground-faced block.

Global tribute marks year since Michael Jackson's death
By Bob Tourtellotte
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Michael Jackson fans worldwide paid tribute to the late King of Pop on Friday, the first anniversary of his death, by remembering him in song and dance even as his father sued the doctor accused of sending the superstar to his grave.
In Tokyo, the "Thriller" singer's followers spent the night among his possessions at a Michael Jackson exhibition, at New York's famed Apollo theater they danced to his music, and along Hollywood's Walk of Fame, they laid flowers by his star.
Jackson's sister Janet and brother Jermaine were among family members visiting a mausoleum at the Forest Lawn cemetery near Los Angeles, where the singer's body was laid to rest, and his mother, matriarch Katherine, appeared at the unveiling of a monument outside the family's first home in Gary, Indiana.
"I'm sure my son would be very pleased and very honored," Katherine Jackson said This last year has been a very hard time for us," she said of her family.
About 500 people gathered outside the home where Jackson and his brothers -- members of the Jackson 5 singing group -- got their start in the 1960s on their way to hits like "ABC." The stone monument featured a picture of him dancing with the words "Never Can Say Goodbye" chiseled beneath it.
Fans laid cards and flowers along a fence outside the home and listened to speeches from politicians and celebrities, but Jackson's children -- Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket -- did not make an appearance despite being said to be in Gary with Katherine, who is their guardian.
In New York, people mimicked the legendary singer's moonwalk dance moves outside Harlem's Apollo Theater, where Jackson's trademark black hat and sequined glove were placed beside a plaque bearing his name.
"As a child. he had a dream. They made a star and then they ruined him at the end...I thought he was immortal," fan Caren Menardy told Reuters outside the Apollo. Continued...

I'm that Chris DeMorro. Feels kinda weird, but anyway, I missed it, but if anyone heard it, can you tell me exactly what he said? I've been trying to get like a podcast or something but haven't had any luck.
Oh and uh, let me know what you thought, good or bad, especially bad, because I can fix what is wrong with my writing early on instead of waiting.
Thanks guys!

Glad you like it Frank (you spoke to me on the phone)! The reason it takes so long is because we are doing a complete OS rewrite, not just a partial flash for jus a couple values like the COBB does. EFILive tuning and HPTuners is the same way, only a few seconds to flash just a few changes to the stock program. After the initial flash of our custom OS to the ECM, updates will be much faster as they will flash in the same manner- just a few changes to what is already there.
It will take longer for the automatics than the manuals as it will flash the ECM, and then the TCM. The manual cars will only take like 15 mins or so to flash initially depending on your computer hardware. I've had people with really old hardware tell me it takes an hour plus to flash, but on a current PC it shouldn't take anywhere near that long.

NCAA Second-Round Coverage Up 4% on ThursdayHighest Overnight Rating for First Thursday of Tournament in 22 Years 3/22/2013 9:53 AM Eastern
The first full day of the 2013 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship tournament coverage on March 21 averaged a 5.8 overnight rating across CBS, TNT, TBS and truTV, up 4% over last year.
That was the highest rating for the first Thursday of the tournament in 22 years.
Both the second daytime window (2:30-7:15 p.m. ET) and first primetime window (7-10:15 p.m.) garnered the higest ratings ever for those time slots with a 4.1 (+5%) and 5.5 (+6%), respectively. The first daytime window (12-4:15 p.m.) averaged a 4.1 rating, up 5% over last year and the second-highest rating for that time slot since 1991.
The final window, from 9:30 p.m.-12:34 a.m., was down 6% to a 6.4, even though it featured No. 14-seed Harvard's first-ever tournament victory over third-seed New Mexico. Window viewership no doubt suffered from a pair of major blowouts: VCU's 46-point win versus Akron and Syracuse's 47-point triumph over Montana
To date, the 2013 tournament is trending 2% higher than last year with a 5.2 rating overall. Second-round coverage resumes all-day Friday.

Just returned from a wonderful few days at a picturesque 16th century hotel and spa in the Cotswolds The Lygon Arms…almost didn't make it though due to the snow.
The deal was booked through Lastminute.com and included a massage/facial, use of the swimming pool/gym/spa facilities, a three-course dinner in The Great Hall and breakfast the following morning…at just £125 per person- incredible value!
The staff were so lovely, friendly and welcoming and the hotel itself was stunning. After dinner we sat by a huge roaring fire (idyllic with the snow billowing down outside) with a- not so healthy dessert of- port and cheese and chatted to the lovely Italian food manager.
The facial used Elemis products and was probably one of the best facials I've had, my skin felt incredible afterwards and the spa facilities are exceptional.
I couldn't fault the whole experience- and it felt like we were away a lot longer than two days. The hotel was located in the beautiful setting of Broadway, a small village in the heart of the Cotswolds…and felt it like a million miles away from London (despite only being an hour and a half by train).
To kick-start your new year health regime or as a relaxing break away, I highly recommend it…would make a fab valentine's getaway if you're looking for ideas.
