Editor's note: This story is part of the 10 on Tuesday series, which provides a fresh take on interesting university initiatives, research projects, campus happenings and more.
BRISTOL, R.I. – More than 150 years separated the Pilgrims' voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to an unfettered life in the New World and New England's uprising against British imperialism in the American Revolution. While most textbooks divide these events into distinct snapshots of American history, the story of the Pilgrims' successes and blunders dictated the course of events in the later emerging of the United States.
When the Pilgrims first arrived in Plymouth Harbor in 1620, they quickly formed a mutually beneficial partnership with the Wampanoag confederation – the English traded their goods and the Wampanoags offered food, survival skills for wintering through the area, and protection from other tribes. Pilgrims hired the Wampanoags as farmhands, they exchanged iron, axes and muskets for fish and game, and soon hailed their native neighbors with the greeting "neetop," meaning "friend."
But only 50 years later their blossoming friendship devolved into terror and genocide in King Philip's War, a battle between colonists and natives that marks the bloodiest conflict per capita in American history.
On October 3, historian and National Book Award-winning author Nathaniel Philbrick examined how America emerged from the "terrible darkness" of King Philip's War to become the United States a century later via 2007's "Mayflower" and his recently published "Bunker Hill." Philbrick – a finalist for the 2007 Pulitzer Prize in History – spent the day at Roger Williams teaching a master class with journalism students and delivered the keynote address for the 2013 Common Reading program, in which all first-year students and many others on campus read "Mayflower."
In his address, Philbrick explored America's evolution from the voyage of the Mayflower to the Battle of Bunker Hill, "and what that has to say about the meaning of liberty in a nation that has never entirely escaped the terror, anger, violence and guilt that went with colonizing this ancient and blood-soaked land," he said.
While "Bunker Hill" may end with the creation of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution – and the idea that these events mark the point where all Americans become free – Philbrick explained that even then some questioned whether the work of the revolution was over. For Philbrick, America's constantly evolving ideals and nature are what distinguish this country.
"The United States of America will always be a work in progress. All the promises, problems, conflicts and ideals that first brought the Pilgrims to America and contributed to the outbreak of the Revolution in 1775, as well as the Civil War in 1861, are still driving this country's ever-contentious march into the future. For me that is what the United States is all about," Philbrick said.
Spanning 150 years, here are 10 facts from the Pilgrim's landing to the American Revolution that you may have missed in history class, courtesy of Nathaniel Philbrick:
The Pilgrims believed they were on a mission from God – to break away from the established Church of England and carve out a new life, first in religiously tolerant Holland and then in the New World, in order to return worship to its purest form. On an old, leaky wooden ship famously known as the Mayflower, 102 Pilgrims and hired men sailed for 65 grueling days during winter across the Atlantic before reaching Plymouth Harbor, falling short of their intended settlement at the mouth of the Hudson River. In the Pilgrims' account of their voyage, they wrote, "We verily believe and trust the Lord is with us, and that He will graciously prosper our endeavors according to the simplicity of our hearts therein."
About half of the voyagers were strangers to the Pilgrims – hired men to help sail the ship and set up the new colony – much to the chagrin of the faithful who wished to remain autonomous and insulated from others who didn't share their religious beliefs. But being forced to contend with these differences was their saving grace, according to Philbrick: "From the start the Pilgrims were forced to accommodate others, instead of slipping immediately into the kind of solipsistic bubble that would have left them defenseless in a world of unpredictable and frightening change. They quickly realized their future welfare depended on working with those outside their own spiritual community."
During the first decades of the colony, there weren't any clear-cut boundaries between the Pilgrims and the natives' land, and an essential – and unavoidable – intimacy existed between them as neighbors and friends. "This was no cross-cultural paradise," Philbrick said. "And yet during the 17th century's midpoint, both sides were still doing their best to negotiate their way through the inevitable differences that arose."
Unburdened by the struggle for survival thanks to their parents' efforts, the Pilgrims' children scorned alliances with the natives and seized as much native land as possible via unjust means when they assumed leadership of the colony. They pushed the Wampanoags to war, Philbrick said, "unintentionally paving the way for a return to the old, horrifying days of death and despair."
In just 14 months of King Philip's War, no other conflict in American history saw as many fatalities per capita. According to Philbrick, World War II caused the loss of less than one percent of the United States' adult male population, while the Civil War realized a casualty rate between four and five percent. In King Philip's War, Plymouth colony lost nearly eight percent of its men. But the real tragedy was the total decimation of the local Native Americans. Of a population of about 20,000 natives, 2,000 died in battle or from injuries; 3,000 died of illnesses related to the war; and another 1,000 men, women and children were sold into slavery – primarily to the sugar trade in the Caribbean.
A pivotal moment for the American Revolution was Samuel Adams' idea in 1772 to create a Boston Committee of Correspondence – a 21-member committee that informed on the events of British imperialism in Boston to the farthest reaches of small towns throughout New England. All 250 towns received communications, marking the first time a network of debate circumvented the governing system and England's reach to those government officials. Their formative work was the Boston Declaration – "a kind of tutorial on why the colonists' God-given natural rights superseded anything Parliament could devise," Philbrick said.
Beyond just Boston, the ancestors of people who lived through King Philip's War and other conflicts with Native Americans wholeheartedly took up the revolutionary struggle throughout New England. The town of Gorham, Maine, located about 10 miles inland of present-day Portland, was home to veterans and descendants of those earlier battles, and still remembered a 1746 Native American raid on their town that left five colonists dead and three abducted. "For the citizens of Gorham, the fight for liberty was not about the current frustrations with Parliament; it was about what they had already sacrificed in defending their homes," Philbrick said.
Some books and films sanitize and glorify the battles in the American Revolution, Philbrick said, "a romanticized vision of noble militiamen taking carefully aimed potshots at evil British soldiers. But in reality the fighting along what is now Massachusetts Avenue devolved into an extremely ruthless kind of fighting as the militiamen and British soldiers shot and bayoneted each other, often within the colonists' own homes."
Philbrick drew definitive parallels between the Great Swamp Fight in 1675 to the 1775 Battle of Bunker Hill, noting that both bloody skirmishes marked the advent of all-out war, and though both were English victories, "almost cost the victors the war," he said. The Great Swamp Fight forced a peaceful native tribe to join the warring Wampanoags, prolonging King Philip's War and launching the bloodiest part. And at Bunker Hill, British soldiers suffered nearly 15 percent losses in their ranks.
- Both King Philip's War and the American Revolution feature a man named Benjamin Church – and both were studies of contradiction. A leading military figure in King Philip's War, the elder Church forced captured Wampanoag warriors to fight for the colonists and mastered the natives' fighting tactics, while at the same time objecting to native enslavement. However, since native slavery also served as the income he derived from war, Church became "one of New England's leading slave catchers." The younger Church (the great-grandson) was a European-trained doctor serving as the chief physician for the Continental Army and delegate to the Massachusetts Provincial Congress. He professed to be a leading patriot while actually operating as a British spy.

Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars with Streusel Topping
I can honestly say I've never had a dessert quite like this before. I was powerless when it came to trying them after my brother Nate (the same one who gave us the recent pumpkin bread recipe) insisted that this is his wife's favorite dessert of all time. All time. Ok. That's a pretty rave review. It made me start considering the worth of making the recipe.
Then, he told me this decadent treat is the most requested dessert by his co-workers for him to bring in to work. They request it at least weekly. Ok. That's a good point in the favor of these bars.
Finally, he told me that if I didn't make them, he would disown me as his older, smarter sister forever. Noted. Not only does he desperately need my unwarranted advice, but I need his legal counsel and all future recipes.
I decided to make them immediately.
And they are unreal. Absolutely unreal. A soft, lightly spiced, buttery crust holds the divine weight of a creamy cheesecake, cinnamon-and-sugared tart apples, a deliciously sweet, oaty streusel…and to make matters even heavier…all of those incredible layers are drizzled with a heavenly and simple homemade caramel sauce.
My husband has now declared these his new favorite dessert, also, which means we'll be seeing them again frequently around these parts.
One Year Ago: Coconut and Cashew Granola
Two Years Ago: No-Bake Spiderweb Cheesecake
- 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup quick cooking oats
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- ½ cups half-and-half or cream
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, stir together chopped apples, two tablespoons sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- For the streusel, in a medium bowl, combine all the streusel topping ingredients and mix until crumbly. Set aside.
- For the base, in a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or two forks until mixture is crumbly but combined. Press evenly into a 9X13-inch baking pan lined with aluminum foil. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
- For the cream cheese layer, while the crust is baking, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese with 1/2 cup sugar until smooth. Then add eggs, one at a time and then the vanilla. Mix well. Pour over the warm crust.
- Spoon the apple mixture evenly over the cheesecake layer. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the apples. Bake for 30 minutes until the filling is set.
- Cool the bars to room temperature. Drizzle with the caramel topping (or plate individual slices and drizzle with topping one by one).
- For the caramel sauce, mix butter, brown sugar, half-and-half or cream, and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook while whisking gently for 5 to 7 minutes, until thickened slightly. Add the vanilla and cook another minute to thicken further. Turn off the heat and pour the sauce into a jar. Refrigerate until cold. If the caramel sauce has cooled in the fridge long enough to harden, warm slightly before drizzling on bars.
Recipe Source: Bars adapted from my brother, Nate (I think he originally found them on the Food Network), caramel sauce from Pioneer Woman

It was the Italian's third stage triumph in Spain's premier cycling event, although Manuel Beltran of Spain retained the yellow jersey.
Fassa Bortolo rider Petacchi finished the route from Castellon to Valencia in three hours, 53 minutes and 4 seconds.
Germany's Erik Zabel was second and Spain's Oscar Freire third, both clocking the same time as Petacchi.
"I knew that Freire would be very keen to win after his victory on Thursday but after suffering early on now I am beginning to feel on top of my game," said Petacchi, who now has 11 Tour of Spain wins in his career.
"I asked my team mate Guido Trenti to accelerate up until 200 metres to go before I made my move, because today I wanted to try to win on pure strength."
A clutch of eight riders broke away over Friday's largely flat terrain and built up a lead of more than five minutes.
But the other teams closed the gap, and Petacchi triumphed to avenge his sprint-finish defeat by Freire on Thursday.
The 21-stage Vuelta ends on 26 September in Madrid.
Seventh stage result:
1. Alessandro Petacchi (Ita) Fassa Bortolo, 3hrs 53mns 4secs
2. Erik Zabel (Ger) T-Mobile, same time
3. Oscar Freire (Spa) Rabobank, same time
4. Stuart O'Grady (Aus) Cofidis, same time
5. Luca Paolini (Ita) Quick Step, same time
6. Pedro Horrillo (Spa) Quick Step, same time
7. Giosue Bonomi (Ita) Saeco, same time
8. Andy Flickinger (Fra) AG2R, same time
9. Cristian Moreni (Ita) Alessio-Bianchi, same time
10.Miguel Angel M Perdiguero (Spa) Saunier Duval, same time
Overall standings:
1. Manuel Beltran (Sp) US Postal 26hrs 28mins 43secs
2. Floyd Landis (USA) US Postal same time
3. Denis Menchov (Rus) Illes Balears Banesto, 4 seconds
4. Alejandro Valverde (Spa) Kelme, 9 seconds
5. Cadel Evans (Aus) T-Mobile, 16 seconds
6. Benoit Joachim (Lux) US Postal 23 seconds
7. Francisco Mancebo (Spa) Illes Balears Banesto, 39 seconds
8. Carlos Garcia Quesada (Spa) Kelme, 47 seconds
9. Victor Hugo Pena (Col) US Postal same time
10. Tyler Hamilton (USA) Phonak, 50 seconds

First Jeep
Brand new over here, I have a '09 Dodge Ram, so I am usually over on DodgeTalk. My truck is an all-wheel drive, twin turbo project that makes over 500HP at the wheels. I decided to build my wife a new truck, so that she has something fun also. Ordered her a loaded Grand Cherokee Overland, black on black. We took delivery last Tuesday, I started tearing it down and painting it on Wednesday, and had it done Thursday night. I rolled it in the shop with 22 miles and a lot of chrome, and here is how it looks now. Blacked out the upper and lower grille, the piece between the tail lights, the door handles, the mirrors, and the luggage rack. I lowered it 1.3 inches up front and 1.8 in the rear. I went with black SRTs, staggered with 265/50/20 up front and 295/45/20 in the back.
I will post some pics as soon as I hit my post requirement.

Looking Great, welcome! Love the black on black
Re: First Jeep
I like the wheels/tires. No rubbing?
Re: First Jeep
dang, that looks pretty mean! I like what you have done.
Re: First Jeep
One of the nicest I have seen!
Re: First Jeep
Thanks, I also chopped off the trailer hitch, replaced the lower rear bumper cover and debadged it. No rubbing, the 20x10s fit great in the back. Now just waiting for tuning so I can build her a turbo setup.
Re: First Jeep
I was wondering about that because I noticed no trailer hitch so I just assumed yours didnt come with one.
Can you give me an idea how tough of a job that was? I assume you just remove the rear bumper, unbolt the hitch and slide it out, then replace with the new rear lower valance? I like the look sooo much more without the trailer hitch so I have been considering this mod as well.

Sunderland have issued a statement on Jack Colbert's move to Newcastle as a free agent, and they seem to be blaming Jack for moving at the end of his contract, so that it has Sunderland from getting back some of the investment they have made in the player – but that's all old hat these days – and players have every right to see out their contracts at a club and then move on.
And its being done more regularly these days.
Jack Colback – in Sunderland colors
This is the statement that Sunderland have issued on Jack:
"Jack is a player we have nurtured and developed through our academy system since he was eight years old. We gave him the opportunity to become a professional footballer and are therefore extremely disappointed in the events that have led to his departure from the club.¨
"This wasn't about money – the club agreed to all of the terms demanded of us during discussions, and we were always led to believe that Jack wanted to stay with us.¨
¨At his and his representatives' request, final talks were put on hold until the club secured its top flight status. To our dismay however, we were subsequently never given the chance to negotiate with him to stay.¨
"For him to then leave the club that has supported him throughout his formative years in such a manner, with no chance for Sunderland to recover any of the significant investment that it has made in him as a player, has left a bitter taste."
He simply wanted to play for his home town club – that seems to be what Jack wanted – and that should not come as a big shock or a big surprise.
And it's any footballers right to see out his contract and move on as a free agent, and that argument Sunderland are making carries no water these days – contracts are contracts – and to move on as a free agent is not what it used to be in the 1990s – when it was very much frowned upon.
And your home town club is always special, and it would be the same if it was the other way around and we had a Sunderland-born player who wanted to move to the Black Cats.
There is something that happens when you are in your formative years and you support your home town club and go to the matches with your Dad – it gets into your DNA.
There's a certain sting in that Sunderland statement, which to us is entirely uncalled for and also unprofessional.
Comments welcome.

Wiring a Shed light & internal power
I raised a shed and disconnected the wiring from the main building to the shed. Now it's a month later and it's time to hook the power back up. From the main building I have power into the shed with a white, black, red and copper wire. Originally the power went into the outside light fixture and then off of that it went to another light and two outlets. The original confiruation allowed of us to turn the shed's outside light on and off, from a switch inside the main building. With the power off to the light, we still had power to the outlets and internal light. The outside light fixture has black and white wires. The wire to the internal light and the outlets has a black, white, and copper wire. So how do I wire this so that the main building switch can control the outside light on the shed, while still having power to the internal light and outlets, regardless of the switch being on or off? (I wired the internal blacks and whites all together, which just ended up with the outside light always being on.)
Connect the red wire to the switch at the main building while the black is connected to the unswitched power source. Both must be on the same branch circuit (same breaker) at the main bullding panel.
Then over in the shed, the red wiretogether with the white feed the outside shed light.
You do not have enough wires to make a code compliant installation. The garage must have a disconnect (a single pole switch to turn off the entire garage).
You would have to bring straight power out to the garage on the black and white, then take power back to the house, then a wire to switch the light fixture. Bottom line, you have 3 conductors available, you need 4.
It is possible that you could use a remote switch, but I'm not too sure how they would react in cold weather.
ive always been confused by this. Does the disconnect have to be in the shed/garage or in the house?
if in the house, could there be a double switch, with the top say controlling the light and the bottom "everything else".
if in the shed, could they bring both the switched and "other" power to a 2 pole switch and then to the various loads?
The disconnect has to be in the garage...otherwise the breaker could act as the disconnect.

Well, apparently, the Royal Wedding is going to cause a "tweetsplosion." Yesterday, Twitter's Troy Holden posted a photo of the company preparing for tomorrow's increased traffic. The new "Wills & Kate" server joins a "Gaga" and three "Bieber" servers. Of course, it was all a joke. Duh.
Anyway, since we already counted down the Biebs' best quotes, we decided to track down Gaga's most entertaining tweets and interview excerpts. Some of you guys don't have Royal Wedding fever right? We didn't want you to feel left out.
Launch the gallery to see 17 quotes that prove Gaga is just as crazy (awesome) as her outfits. Do you guys think she's nuts? Or the next Aristotle? Sound off in the comments!

Just installed a free STI steering wheel, with the red stitching. It was stupid easy, by following the service manual. I kept my original airbag. Now working on that did make nervous, but I did disconnect the battery ground and wait 60secs. Still, kind of like handling a grenade with the pin in it... Sure it's safe, but jeez nonetheless
Looks good though and you can get one (sans airbag) for little cash. That is, if you like red stitching

3" lift + mmL = cv driveshaft needed?
i would like to get a 3" lift that uses the stock control arms, and a 1" body lift to get 4" lift total. if i install a 1" motor mount lift would i need a cv driveshaft?
I had a 3" tera flex basic lift kit and no 1" body lift and 33's I didnt even have the motor mount lift and I had no vibes
thank you
I agree with Mr 4x4. Odds are you won't have vibes with that setup. However if you do just put the TCase drop in that I'm sure the lift provides and you should be fine. I would suggest you not put it in right away though. Put all of your suspension/body lift etc.... in and then test drive to see if you have any vibes.
i run 3" lift, 1" bl and love the setup. I do have the mml, but I installed it before I did the suspension lift. I did need a tcase drop. I dont have a Rubicon, so you might be fine without it.

Is there a pop artist out there that is as constant a fixture on the airwaves and singles charts as Rihanna? The Barbadian pop singer has maintained a Herculean pace of production since bursting onto the music scene in 2005, releasing a new album almost every year and unleashing a never-ending string of pop hits. Of course in the current pop music era, no amount of pop success can come without a heavy dose of one's personal life and few have become a more tantalizing target for gossip rags than Rihanna. Whether it is her increasingly-controversial music videos, her possible use of drugs, various legal battles or (of course) her incredibly-publicized assault at the hands of her then-boyfriend Chris Brown that has recently turned into a constant stream of "are they or aren't they," Rihanna's private life has almost accomplished the hefty task of stealing the spotlight from her many chart-toppers. For the past three Novembers she has been a fixture on the month's list of new album releases with Rated R (2009), Loud (2010) and Talk That Talk (2011). 2012 is no different and thus Rihanna has brought forth unto the world her seventh studio album Unapologetic, to give us another twelve months worth of chart-topping dominance.
Many people can (and will) make mention of the appropriateness of this album's title in relation to its content, and frankly that is because it's kind of unavoidable. The pop singer has drawn no small amount of criticism over the past year for a number of issues, not the least of which is her apparent willingness to mend fences with Brown after their highly-publicized incident and his continued erratic behavior. On Unapologetic, Rihanna takes it upon herself to proclaim as clearly as possible how much she doesn't care whether you don't like what she's chosen to do in her personal life. She could care less if anything she does offends someone, and just in case that isn't clear she makes the stunningly in-your-face "Phresh Out the Runway" the opening track. With a distorted synth sound playing over her, Rihanna busts out lyrics that make Nicki Minaj look PG by comparison ("I bet you n**gas gon' be like 'Bitch, this my f**king song'"); it's essentially a hardcore rap song that is sung instead of spat but lacks nothing in the way of attitude. The problem is that it feels like Rihanna's trying too hard; she even sings in that opening track, "How could you be so hood, but you so f**king pop?/How could you be so fun, and sound like you selling rocks?" It's one thing to throw out potentially-controversial lyrics and seem sincere about the sentiment behind them; here Rihanna sounds like she's pandering in order to advance her R-rated attitude to NC-17 just because she wants to try it for a song.
From there we get into her first single, "Diamonds." This is certainly a better track than the first one; it has a solid midtempo pace and Rihanna is on more stable ground here on a song that has already become a huge hit. That being said, it lacks the memorable stature of "We Found Love" or "Only Girl (In the World)." To go from such a gratuitously controversial song to such a safe one causes an audio sensation vaguely akin to whiplash and it doesn't do the album any favors. On "Numb" Rihanna finds a good, solid middle ground with a slowed-down pace and an inspired verse by Eminem that does a lot of the heavy lyrical lifting. Next up is "Pour It Up," a song about the strip clubs that she has famously been seen going to and includes some opinions about our opinions ("Who cares how you haters feel/And I still got my money…So who cares about what I spend/And I still got my money"). It could be a dead-eyed failure if not for the casual way she presents it all. There's no in-your-face attitude and it works the better for that fact.
After the infinitely forgettable slow jam that is the wackily-named "Loveeeee Song" (because its seven E's, and it's her seventh album), Rihanna decides that it's time to get personal and the results start to go downhill. Now don't get me wrong; any artist has a perfectly reasonable expectation that opinions of their personal life should not impact their professional lives. However, Rihanna makes that impossible by seamlessly integrating the two into such a tightly-bonded pairing that you cannot evaluate the one out of context with the other. It gets off to a decent start as with "Jump," she conjures images of a past lover with whom she acrimoniously parted but clearly wants to get back with ("You don't need another lover/don't you let it go/I already got it covered/let the others know") before the song takes an odd yet not entirely unwelcome dive into dubstep before coming back out as if nothing had happened for the next verse. "Right Now," which features the work of David Guetta, is a far less effective use of dubstep and it distracts from what could have been a better song. Give the girl credit for her continued experimentation with different sounds, but it doesn't work here as well as she wants it to.
Things really kick into relationship-regret mode with "What Now," a sure single that places a piano arrangement with dance-pop beats and then a guitar riff at the end; it is the everything-including-the-kitchen sink approach to song making. "Stay" is a restrained piano number that eschews the club beats and features Mikky Ekko's solid vocal work in a mournful number holding a moratorium on a love affair…and then the centerpiece to the album hits, as Chris Brown shows up on the unsubtly-named "Nobody's Business." This is less a song than a musical mission statement about her life, she clearly courts controversy as she and Brown repeat lyrics about being love's persona and making out in a Lexus, the latter a particularly disturbing thought when you consider that their famous assault case took place within the confines of a car. All the way they're singing "It ain't nobody's business but mine and my baby's," a fact that is fairly disingenuous when the song makes you realize how clearly Rihanna and Brown are trying to profit off the very incident that they keep scornfully telling people to let go of so that they can live their lives. You can't keep from comparing their recent statements that they aren't involved with the fact that they openly sing to each other "Always be my boy/you'll always be my girl."
From that point it's all about Mr. Brown. On "Love Without Tragedy / Mother Mary" she sings, "You used to be this boy I loved/And I used to be this girl of your dreams/Who knew the course of this one drive/Injured us fatally" and adds, "What's love without tragedy." In the second part of the song she sings, "I'm prepared to die in the moment/Cause even forever ain't forever." Remind me again how it's nobody's business…or are we supposed to forget that because it was a whole song ago? The theme continues through the final three songs, but at least on "No Love Allowed" the reggae sound makes for something different, raising it above the rest of the album's last half.
Standout Tracks: "Numb," "Pour It Up," "Stay," "No Love Allowed"
Skippable: "Phresh Out the Runway," "Right Now," "What Now," "Nobody's Business"
The 411: Ultimately, Rihanna's undoing on Unapologetic is her willingness to cash in on her personal controversy. It is one thing to use one's music career to explore the emotional issues of one's past, but it is another entirely to play the media game to stir those events in one's private life for record sales, which is clearly what has been done here. The last half of the album falls into that trap while the first half schizophrenically alternates between the kind of crassness that made Talk that Talk such an uneven album and a few truly solid pop songs. In the end, Unapologetic is at least more interesting of an album than its predecessor in sound and opportunity for speculation, but still not a good one. It's time for Rihanna to take a break, as she has clearly run out of new things to say.

Nail of the Day: Revlon Grape Icy
12 comments:
I am a sucker for purples but i prefer the darker or rich tones. so idk if id wear it. but it looks great on you. i will have to check out the other shades (scents?) they have.ReplyDelete
I like how it looks jelly-like! Pretty cool.ReplyDelete
lol yeah for huffing nail polish! too funnyReplyDelete
I don't like the idea of scented polishes. Like you mentioned I think a lot of people will be sniffing up the fumes from their polish bottle. Doesn't matter what the instrutions say, our curiosity will get the better of us XD.ReplyDelete
Haha, I totally tried sniffing the polish when I was painting mine, just like you! And I found myself consciously smelling the nail polish on my nails when it was dry! :) The colour looks good you!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous colour! Though I do think it being scented is a little odd.ReplyDelete
haha it's jellyish and it's called grape! :)ReplyDelete
I have gumdrop from Revlons 2010 spring collection and it smells like gummy candies when it dries. My boyfriend loves it! lolReplyDelete
It's a cute idea. Not sure I'm a fan of THAT particular shade of purple though.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the post!
Please enter my Stila/MAC blog giveaway!
I can't wait to try this!ReplyDelete
i was purusing the isles of the drugstore and found these. the cotton candy color is very beautiful neutral. you can barely smell it with a top coat, but the color is gorgeous. you like neutrals just wanted to let you know :)ReplyDelete

There'll be a little less buzz and a little less whine in the air of the Okanagan community of Lake Country following a ruling by a B.C. Supreme Court judge.
Justice Frank Cole has issued an injunction against the Kelowna Ogopogo Radio Controllers Association, ruling its members are breaking a municipal bylaw by flying radio-controlled model planes from a grassy airstrip zoned for agricultural use.
The municipality took the group to court in the spring after receiving noise complaints from nearby chicken farmers, equestrians and even residents who live just above the runway.
"We're pleased with the ruling in that the judge sided with our intent of the bylaw and our interpretation that we took of the Agricultural Land Reserve Act," said Mayor James Baker.
John Falconer, a spokesman for the association who represented members in court, did not immediately return a phone call or email.
The group was operating the radio- and WiFi-controlled aircraft, which weigh less than 35 kilograms and do not carry people, on about three hectares of land.
The land is zoned agricultural and among its permitted uses are an unpaved airstrip and helicopter pad. The same uses are permitted under the Agricultural Land Reserve Act.
Both parties agreed the issue came down to an interpretation of the law.
The district argued its bylaw was not meant to include "model aircraft for recreational purposes," but the association argued the use was permissible because those who drafted the legislation did not exclude the use of model aircraft, and if they had wanted to, they would have said so.
The association also argued the bylaw didn't define "airstrip" or "aircraft."
"The words 'unpaved airstrip and helipad' must be interpreted as being intended to aid in farm use or a use of complimentary to farming," said Cole, in a ruling posted online Thursday. "Though it is necessary to interpret broadly what activities are complimentary to agricultural uses, I do not find that the club's use of model aircraft can be fit into that interpretation."
Cole, as a result, ruled the bylaw does not permit the airstrip to be used by the model aircraft.
Court cost have yet to be determined, but Baker said taxpayers will be covered by municipal insurance.
The club has said previously that it has more than 100 members aged 10 to 90, began operating in the 1960s, and was incorporated as a registered society in 1977.Report Typo/Error

On Sunday, hundreds of people were killed in three Nigerian villages near the city of Jos in a retaliatory massacre that might have been thwarted, according to a local governor, had the military paid attention to warning signs before it began and distress signals once it was under way. —KA
Governor Jonah Jang said he had warned the army about reports of suspicious people with weapons hours before they attacked, but they failed to take action.
"Three hours or so later, I was woken by call that they have started burning the village and people were been hacked to death," he said.
"I tried to locate the commanders. I couldn't get any of them on the telephone."
The head of the northern area of Nigeria's Christian Association said he believed mercenaries were involved.
Saidu Dogo told the BBC that fighters from neighbouring Chad and Niger took part in the violence.
"For quite some time we have alerted the government to training grounds in some part of the northern state where people are being trained to cause problems in the country… Nobody did anything about it," he said.
In this image taken from Nigerian TV, a crowd gathers on Sunday around the bodies of victims of interfaith violence in the town of Dogo Nahawa, Nigeria, about three miles south of the city of Jos.

Joel Burns expresses his deep concern for the increasing numbers for teen suicides in his anti-gay bullying speech.
Teen bullying and suicide, the American city councilman of Fort Worth, Texas begins, has increased at such a rate that it has reached an epidemic, especially among homosexual youths. He dedicates his emotional speech to all the teens who have ended their own lives due to continuous harassment and disparaging homophobic comments, encouraging individuals to stay alive to see societies' views change because, he reassures, they will change.
In this heart-wrenching dedication, Burns stresses the fact that schools must do more to stop bullying and harassment. It should be "a safe place to learn and to grow" and that it is "never acceptable to be the cause of any child to feel unloved or worthless." This ant-gay bullying speech is something all children, teenagers and adults should take the time to listen to.

The five-week program covers job-searching skills and strategies from soup to nuts. After psychological and skills assessment tests, participants receive intensive training in how to find a job in today's economy. This includes identifying their strengths and weaknesses to see what other kinds of jobs would fit them, résumé-building (or, for many, résumé-shortening), training in how to use social media, and some cross-generational teaching about the different mores of the boomers compared to Generations X and Y and the millennials.
"People over 50 definitely see things differently," says the group's instructor, Harrison Tonne. "For example, my generation sees no problem with texting during a meeting. But to them, it's rude. They want to know why they can't just ask them to put their phones away," he says.
Social worker James Rascati helps the group figure out their finances, deal with their families and confront the emotional devastation that hits most previously successful older people when they've been out of work for two years.
"When they start Platform to Employment, most people 50-plus have been waylaid by a combination of maturity, desperation and hopelessness," says Rascati. "Some are committing economic suicide. Divorces are common and so are foreclosures. At the same time, job interviews of any kind have been few and far between. Then their families tell them they're not trying hard enough."
Being out of a job makes people equal very quickly, whether they were shop workers or executives. It didn't take long before the Platform to Employment 50+ participants began to bond, and the sense of desperation most wrestled with began to disappear. They realized they were not alone in their feelings, especially depression.
For each member, the group acts as a cross between a cheerleader and an enforcer. People take turns having mock interviews with each other, while the rest offer encouragement and suggestions. Those who have follow-up phone calls to make often do it at The WorkPlace, because it's easier to make these calls — usually unsolicited — when you know your friends have your back. By the time the five weeks end, most are fast friends who regularly meet at the Job Club at The WorkPlace.
The holistic approach of Platform to Employment provides the support many 99ers need to restart and rebuild their working lives. Some do land jobs soon after completing the program. Others take advantage of a unique aspect of the program: the opportunity to interview for an eight-week job trial with a participating employer.
Funded solely by nonprofit grants and donations, The WorkPlace offers employers eight weeks of an employee's time for free. (The WorkPlace, rather than the company, pays the employee.) Once the job trial is up, the hope and expectation is the workers will have demonstrated their worth to the employer, which will hire them directly.
In the Platform to Employment for the 50+ group that includes John and Karen, 13 people out of the 20 now have new jobs, and others are close. Karen accepted a job as a sales manager for a national nonprofit organization in June. "I changed my attitude — being unemployed can do that to you," she says. "I don't think I settled for too little or that it's a reflection on me to take a job for half of what I earned before," she says. "I know I can live on less. Now, to me the most important thing is to have a job that I take pride in — and to have a job to go to every morning."
As for John, he's still looking and still working part time, but he's given up his weekend job selling shoes. "This is my last best chance to have a successful life, to create what I need to create for myself and my family. I need to spend more time on finding a job," he says. "You know, not one of us in our group ever thought that we'd be unemployed for so long, and the longer you go without work, the worse it gets. But thanks to The WorkPlace, I'm a lot better off in my job search than I was six months ago."

Technically, I don't see any need for apt to adopt yum's repodata format. Politically, this requirement is introduced by RH not wanting to add apt-repositories and fedora.us apparently being unable to set up complete repositories. If apt-repositories are cleverly set up, the additional overhead they introduce in addition to the original files becomes more or less negligible. BTW: Even SuSE is available with apt. I wonder why they don't have the multilib issue - I guess they don't ship multilibs :) Ralf

You need to repeatably press the caption button on the remote for the sanyo
Im not sure about the cable straight format but try both analogue and digital
If you still have problems please tell me who your cable provider is
Many Thanks
Do you only have the one remote or do you use a cable one too?
When you press the caption button do you get any black rectangular boxes up at all?
OK at least the set is responding and providing a message
I would go to time warner here see what they say then get back to me its my guess that their is a closed captioning problem
https://www.timewarnercable.com/Carolinas/support/closedcaptioning/default.html use this info as this is particular to your problem
Please let me know how you go
Sorry you may have to input your zip top corner
On the link I sent you to get to the right area for your time warner I'm not sure but I think you need to input your zip code at the time warner site in the top right hand corner?
You have tried a number of channels for captioning and it still says unavailable?
Both tvs?so you cant get captioning on another set too?is it another sanyo
The remote you use for the cable channels is it the original one for the set or is it a cable provided one?sorry to be going around in circles but I find cable straight to have different set ups
This has to be the cable provider, if you was to run these sets on an antenna its my guess they would work on closed captioning, the closed captioning it would appear to me is not supported thats why your getting unavailable and for it to happen on both sets really reinforces my argument,it seems odd that time warner have a department that concentrates on loss of closed captioning only!
Did time warner insist theirs nothing wrong with the system in your area?
Has these sets ever worked on close captions in its current signal ie cable straight?
Yes please let me know
OK thats good
Please let me know the outcome, the situation may arise again
Thats ok it has to be an issue with them
OK both sets are saying closed caption is unavailable
This only has 2 explainations
That their is no closed captioning or poor closed captioning or signal attenuation leading to the set not seeing the closed caption this would lie with time warner or the tuners of both the sets are somehow not passing the closed caption signal usually generated by the graphics section and text
You really need to try one of your sets somewhere else on a known good closed caption cable connection but this may not be possible?it would prove that the set is faulty or not
Do you have teletext at all?can you usually receive teletext?
Text is for viewing the news or viewing sport for example by pressing the text button in text format on screen
Do you have the use of an antenna?can you receive off air programs?
This is the only way to eliminate the set if closed caption works on an antenna this rules the set out for being faulty, its my good guess that it will as you have both sets doing the same thing
You would need to retune for antenna but the signal is coming through the tuner like it does with time warner
Theirs nothing else you can do but try that, you would need to be sure that closed captioning is being transmitted though
PS Please dont forget to press accept and leave positive feedback for me as this is the only way I receive a proportion of the fee for my time once again thank you and good luck!
Sir its not a case of "nothing you have suggested has worked" I have painstakenly narrowed your options down to what you must do next in order to solve this difficult problem you have, indeed you have had 2 engineers in your house and they didnt know what to do,their is no one who is goin to say to you this is x,y,z wrong with your set do this and it will work!a lot of times this can happen but it was apparent early on it was going to be difficult, I still havent ruled out time warner being at fault,you need to take any one of those 2 sets to an good working antenna or indeed another place were time warner has closed captions and try it there,its my belief that the sets will work because its too much of a coincidence for 2 sets not to receive closed caption and display
This can be your only next move to eliminate the set(s) as being faulty
Yes this is what I meant about the signal being attenuated so yes it is a good idea to run it directly into the set and try again you can always put it back but you will know were you are then, if the signal is attenuated by your equipment it could kill the closed caption,I was just thinking you had the set direct anyhow but attenuation and the sets tuner are what I have indicated

Costume Information
|Cost :
|Time Taken :
|3 hours
|I knew I wanted to do a Kingdom Hearts cosplay, but really didn't think I had enough talent or time to pull of anyone very elaborate. So it came to me that perhaps I should consider doing the one character everyone loves to kill. The Shadow Heartless. When I found a black 'zentai' suit on ebay, it was a done deal.
This however, was another costume that suffered from Amecon's beautiful weather - in order to make myself 'flatter' and to give myself a better shape, I had to wear another black bodysuit (tighter but with a vest-top rather than arms) underneath, which in the heat was killing me.
I had a surprising amount of trouble making the other parts of it too. The antennae didn't want to do a thing I told them (eventually resulting in me destroying them when I got home), and the boots took the majority of my time to make. I ended up making 4 different boots, all of various shape and decency, which had a small slip-on shoe inside the felt. Originally I wanted to give them a sole, but was lost on how to do that, so just went around with sandals wrapped around the felt until it was time for the Kingdom Heart photo shoot.
Funny story about this cosplay - I didn't make holes for the antennae until I was actually at the convention in the cosplay room. Nobody knew what I was...until I whipped on the mask and they saw the yellow eyes. Then they all smirked and nodded, and asked where the hell I'd found a full body suit ^_^.
Funny question: WHY CAN'T I RETIRE THIS COSPLAY???
Seriously, every time I do I throw it in the suicase again T_T
hehe thats amazing!! I just want to eat you *-*
Woooow! Heartless! 8O I luffles it! It's so kawaii! [Yes I find Shadow Heartless cute xD... though annoying when loads gang up on you and disappear into the ground ¬_¬... But that's irrelevant xD]
haha cool I actually had the same idea to make a heartless costume ^_^

Free code for the first 200 posted below!
Although 6tag is the de facto Instagram app for those using Windows Phone due to its advanced and unique features, one thing it cannot do is upload pre-recorded video. Instead, users need to open the app and record directly. This limitation is problematic if you recorded a video earlier and wanted to add it to Instagram at a later date, or perhaps did not have free internet connectivity for the upload.
Today, we are excited to announce a new third-party app dedicated to this single task. It is appropriately called 'Video Upload to Instagram' and Venetasoft makes it. If that name sounds familiar, it is because they also publish the excellent Band Sensor Monitor, Find My Band, and the excellent Movie Maker 8.1.

LONDON (AP) — A British couple are facing long jail terms for starting a fire that killed six of their children, in what prosecutors say was an attention-grabbing stunt gone tragically wrong.
Mick and Mairead Philpott have been convicted of manslaughter over the May 2012 fire in Derby, central England.
The deaths of the children, ages 5 to 13, and the twisting saga that ensued have horrified and fascinated Britain.
Prosecutors said the couple hatched a plan to start the gasoline-fueled fire and then rescue the children, pinning blame on Mick Philpott's former mistress. The couple will be sentenced today.
The trial exposed details of an unorthodox life in which Mick Philpott — who had 17 children with five women — lived with both his wife and girlfriend in a small house.

Open plan living with sliding doors leading out on to a terrace with 270 degree views of the mountains and sea, and, a stunning 5m x 13m swimming pool . A fabulously equipped kitchen goes out onto a generous undercover terrace for dining which provides a brand new summer kitchen with double BBQ overlooking the boules pitch. This is a secure, private villa set behind a large wooden electric gate in over 5000m2 of land which boasts olive, fig, peach, apple, pear and array of citrus trees.

The outdoor terraces have been re-landscaped to make the most of the amazing views and there is a sun terrace looking over the sea and Gorge du Loup with water feature below. Then as well as the terrace directly by the villa, there are steps leading down to the new 5m x 13m pool.

Beautiful house in a great location
We stayed in this lovely home for four days in January. We used to live in Chateauneuf so we're quite familiar with the area. The house is large, modern and well equipped. I really liked that it was clean and uncluttered. The outdoor area is fantastic! While it was not swimming weather, we used the ping pong table, badminton and boules court. The sunrise from this property is spectacular.
The local manager, Izzy, is very friendly and a wonderful host.
We had a fairly serious maintenance problem while we were there that could not be fixed during our stay as it happened on a weekend (France!) The owner generously gave us a 10% refund for the inconvenience.
The only reason I give this four stars instead of five is that the reservation process and the time it took to get our deposit back was a little cumbersome. I think this is because the owners are new to the VRBO/Home Away system. Overall, I would highly recommend this beautiful villa, and we would be happy to stay here again.
Excellent Villa
Beautiful villa with the best pool ever. Family holiday with 2 children aged 6 and 9 - wonderful time. Villa very well appointed - and looked after by Izzy the local contact who was extremely helpful and friendly. Cannot recommend highly enough.
The perfect place for a famliy celebration!
We were looking for a place to "meet" in Europe and Nice turned out to be the best place for three couples flying in from different sides of the world.
We were very lucky to spend a wonderful week at this beautiful property, it was the perfect place for entertainment and more then large enough for everyone to find a quiet spot and enjoy the sun and pool. It is very well equipped and well taken care of by Izzy - we will cherish the memories..

President Mote of the University of Maryland
"The world is on the verge of a new technological revolution as the strange, atomic-scale properties of quantum physics become relevant and exploitable for human-scale information science and technology. Each of these institutions already leads key aspects of quantum-related research. By combining these great strengths, the new Joint Quantum Institute promises to push quantum prototypes from their current primitive, 'first transistor' stage into quantum technology reality."
Bill Jeffrey, NIST director
"Already, applications like quantum computers, secure communication, and post-CMOS electronics are being dreamed of but this is just the start of a technology revolution that is likely to transform many industries several decades in the future. The ultimate goal of the JQI is to build a world-class institute that pushes the frontier of this new field, attracts the top scientists and students, and helps to ensure that the United States leads in this exciting area."
Frederick R. Chang, Director of Research, National Security Agency
"The unification of nineteenth century classical particle and wave dynamics resulted in twentieth century quantum mechanics whose technological byproducts include the transistor, the laser, the atomic clock, and the MRI. The Joint Quantum Institute promises to become a leading force in quantum information science, the twenty-first century attempt to unify quantum mechanics and information theory, a powerful synthesis with genuinely profound, long-term technological implications."
Senator Barbara Mikulski
"This powerful new partnership between the University, NIST, and NSA three great Maryland institutions—will expand our nation's computing power and lead to profound effects on our economy and national security. As the senior Democrat on the Appropriations Subcommittee that funds NIST, and a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I will continue to fight for federal investment in this cutting edge research."

With a little humidity in the air and temperatures in the low-80s, it felt like an evening in Hawaii at Banner Island Ballpark on Saturday night. The Stockton Ports celebrated Hawaiian night with a 4-3 victory over Rancho Cucamonga that had plenty of fireworks, with four homeruns in the game.
Stockton starter Robert Gilliam allowed one of those four homeruns, but he earned the win by allowing three runs in five innings pitched. He struck-out two and walked two and scattered seven hits. Gilliam moved to 7-4 on the season with the win.
The right-hander got support from his offense and his bullpen. Down 2-0 in the third, Stockton pulled into a tie with the Quakes when Dusty Coleman blasted a two-run homer. Stockton fell behind 3-2 in the top of the fourth, but pulled into a tie once again in the bottom half of the inning on Anthony Aliotti's solo homerun. Leonardo Gil gave Stockton their first lead of the game with a homer in the fifth inning to make it 4-3 Stockton. That was all the Ports' bullpen would need.
Relievers Brett Hunter and Jose Guzman combined to retire all 12 batters they faced to close out the win. They both struck-out two. Hunter earned his fourth hold and lowered his ERA to 1.35 and Guzman notched his 10th save and lowered his ERA to 1.83.
Gil had three hits in three at-bats, while Aliotti had two hits and a walk and Jason Christian also had two hits and a walk to lead the Stockton offense.
We have exclusive photos from the game below...

Sunday, a wave of conversation was started about whether startups really care about money or not. There's a real issue of quality, money, and values which Nick Bilton pointed out in his blog post; and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
It's easy to see why the conversation happened: It's the one-year anniversary of Occupy Wall Street, Facebook stock has hit a new bottom, Instagram was purchased for $1 billion, and people are having huge gobs of money thrown at them for making the next "It's like X for Y" product with doubts to real value. We're having doubts about what throwing a social/mobile/local/cloud/whatever-the-next-hype-is layer over everything is doing to create a valuable difference in our lives in a time when (a lack of ) money is at the forefront of most people's minds.
How Does Money Factor In?
So where is money in the entrepreneur's mind? It depends on how well the entrepreneur is doing. Entrepreneurs care about money in a nuanced-"Drive" way: entrepreneurs don't care about money, unless they make a certain amount. It's as thought there's a communal awareness of money that says "If you don't have much money, you're just like the rest of us" and "If you're making tons of money, then you're one of the golden children." (And if you only care about money enough to change the way that people handle their transactions, you may end up with a $3.25 billion valuation. How's that for irony?) But if you're one of the people in between, it's a very scary place to be.
Being in the middle isn't just about fears of not being as good as your competitor, it's about what you're doing (or not) with your money and whether or not you have enough. Lacking money isn't the problem, it's having money. You have to worry about continued and new investment at a higher and higher price, and worry about proving your worth. It's not a small amount of people and companies living in this middle ground.
Raising Investment Money: What Comes Next?
That's why Ben Kaufman's post to Quirky's blog stirred up so much talk about why raising investment money is not an accomplishment in itself. There comes huge expectations, internally and externally, when you've raised funding and as we are all well aware, "expectation is the root of all heartache." Having money means you have more to prove.
This heartache is compounded because the barometer of proving how disruptive your idea is and how influential you are as an entrepreneur is gauged by how much investment money you've raised from whom and what your latest valuation is. Money made isn't to be celebrated, it just means more expectations, more disruption, more improvement. Mark Zuckerberg explained that Facebook's feelings towards money, despite being valued at billions of dollars, as: "Simply put, we don't build services to make money; we make money to build better services."
More than anything, money conjures bad images in entrepreneurs' minds. I'm not talking Rich Kids of Instagram– wealthy people everywhere spend obscene amounts of money on obscene things. The real bad imagery is what most people see in their minds when they think of businesses and money. It starts conjuring images of people in suits who went to business schools and are optimizing away everything to compete with whoever is "beating" them. Everyone wants to have the "I Miss the Mob" mentality and act like it doesn't matter.
Entrepreneurship: What's the Draw?
The Silicon Valley brand of entrepreneur (and idol) is what draws many people to entrepreneurship. The ideals of changing the world and not caring about money are what makes students forgo college degrees and spots in cubicles. Unfortunately, the Silicon Valley brand of entrepreneurship isn't separated from entrepreneurship as a whole. According to a CityMax infographic, 66% of entrepreneurs said that they wanted to start their own company because they wanted to join the startup culture.
Unfortunately, wanting to build wealth, own a company, and capitalize on an idea were about the same as a motivating factor. It's an uncomfortable, avoided intimacy of values for entrepreneurs and those interested in joining startups. When I spoke to Syracuse University students interested in working for startups, many said they had no interest in becoming an entrepreneur. One student said, "I don't want to start a business. It makes it sound like I went to business school, wear a suit, fly business class, have a blackberry. I don't want any of that. I just want to wake up in the morning and care about what I'm doing."
Entrepreneurship has an unfortunate affiliation with money. No "true" Silicon Valley entrepreneur or company wants to be associated with a goal of money. Not when the Valley's idols stand for revolutionizing the world, improving user experience, and loving what they wake up in the morning to go do.
Entrepreneur is a loaded word, no pun intended.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix the flour with the cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, mix the eggs and buttermilk; add to the dry ingredients along with the melted butter and stir just until combined.
Remove the hot baking dish from the oven and tilt to spread the butter evenly. Carefully scrape the batter into the baking dish and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the corn bread comes out clean. Let cool in the baking dish for 10 minutes, then turn the corn bread out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Make Ahead
The corn bread can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for 2 days or frozen for up to 1 week.
