Off-duty officer fatally shot friend in Bloomfield bar, Pittsburgh police say
An early morning fight in a little Bloomfield bar ended with an off-duty Pittsburgh officer fatally shooting a friend, police say, and several tight-knit families left wondering what happened.
"Alcohol, guns and a bar; they don't mix," said Kevin Evans, 41, a cousin of shooting victim Shawn Evans of Bloomfield.
Police said the officer, identified by investigators and neighbors as Kenneth Farnan, 50, of Lawrenceville, fought with Shawn Evans, 56, in Condrin's Tavern about 2:30 a.m. Sunday.
Police said they have not charged anyone, pending a review of the case by Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr.'s office.
Farnan could not be reached for comment. Police and neighbors said he has been off work and on workers' compensation since 2010. Details of his leave were not available.
Neighbors said Evans was married to Norma Condrin, who runs the bar with her brother, Matthew Condrin. People who answered the door at Norma Condrin's home declined to comment.
A woman who answered the phone at the home of Matthew Condrin, who owns the liquor license at the inconspicuous tavern on Torley Street, said he would not comment because of the police investigation.
"(Evans') children went to school with my children, the Condrins grew up over here ... the Farnans, I knew them all my life as well," said Phyllis Rhoads, 51, who lives across the street from Matthew Condrin. "They all knew each other. ... I'm torn because my heart goes out to both families."
Rhoads and others said Evans and Farnan were longtime friends. Children in their families played sports together.
Linda Schaffner, who identified herself as Norma Condrin's sister, said their parents owned the bar for decades before passing it to Norma and her brother.
Condrin and Evans had been married for 22 years, and though he often helped to maintain the bar, he didn't drink there often, Schaffner said. He decided to stop at the bar on Saturday for a few drinks after work as a truck driver and mechanic.
"We don't really have the details of what happened, just that there was an argument and a shooting, and now (Shawn) is gone," Schaffner said. "They'd been friends for years … the other guy just snapped.
"He never should have been carrying that gun. Why the guy had a gun, as a disabled cop, is beyond me."
Police spokeswoman Diane Richard provided scant details about the shooting.
Witnesses told police that the pair fought inside the bar. During a second fight, Evans was shot several times. He died at the scene. Farnan was in the bar when officers arrived.
Police did not say what the fight was about.
Zappala spokesman Mike Manko said the office will review the incident, which is part of police protocol when a shooting or car chase involves an officer.
Hours after the shooting, residents lingered on Torley Street, talking privately about the incident. The bar was closed.
"I found out as I was walking down the street," said Kevin Evans, who recalled his cousin as a good guy. "This was my last stop on my way home from work; me and him would always meet on Saturdays."

Whilst roaming the interwebs I recently found this game RYZOM.com: MMORPG, MMO, RPG, Role Playing Games (MMORPGS) :: RPG - MMO :: MMORPG
I've played more games then you can shake a stick at so I know what I'm talking about and I say, this game has potential but it needs the right push. I want all of you sandbox loving hardcore gamers to go give it a try, I did and I'm loving it! It's completely free and I honestly think Remo should do a video on it. Let's get these guys some attention!
Now I know this game was reviewed a year ago, but sometimes games need a second look. This game is 100% playable F2P instead of the original trial, and I'm sure there has been many updates since the last look. So again pals, let's go whore this games servers!

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Someone did an article on the best overlooked books of the year. Here is my response: Most overlooked? Compare with an entire golden age of literature overlooked by everyone! Zines, or the desktop explosion from late 80′s for a decade or so, produced not only great writing, but great book making and illustration tied in with that writing.

Cheesy Garlic Bread – Sariachi – Chicken & Waffles – those are the flavors of the three finalist in last year's "Do Us A Flavor" Contest held by LAY's. Flavor inspiration can come from anywhere and you don't have to be a foodie, flavor expert or chef to be inspired.
What inspires you? To be inspired myself, I recently visited the Frito-Lay headquarters with other Walmart Moms and had the chance to see first hand into the kitchens of their headquarters.
To show us how easy it is to be inspired by different flavors, the Frito-Lay executive research chef used our blogs for inspiration himself and came up with our lunch menu.
Hoosier Homemade with all of our cupcake recipes, inspired Chef Stephen to come up with an appetizer for us, Savory Chiliquille Muffins. with layers of pancake batter, a combination of chicken and sauteed vegetables with a little kick from TOSTITOS Chunky Salsa, made a delicious twist on a savory cupcake. We had the opportunity to create the recipes in the Frito-Lay Test Kitchen.
Next we enjoyed Speed Scratch Beef Stew Fritos Pie inspired by Frugal Upstate and her love for slow cooking. And then for dessert, inspired by Classy Mommy, a delicious Summer Berry Granite Parfait with layers of Fruit Granite and topped with yogurt.
Last year chip lovers were jumping up and down with excitement for the LAY's "Do Us A Flavor" contest! Fans offered nearly four million potato chip flavor ideas in hopes of winning the contest and the $1 million grand prize.
Three finalist flavors were selected and LAY'S Cheesy Garlic Bread flavored potato chips were voted America's favorite and the flavor's creator Karen Weber-Mendham took home the grand prize.
That was just the beginning because once again this year, the "Do Us A Flavor" contest is back and bigger than ever! Not only do fans have the chance to once again submit their flavor ideas for a chance at a $1 million grand prize, but they'll be able to choose from three potato chip forms as well, LAY'S Original, LAY'S Kettle Cooked or LAY'S Wavy. Also new this year, LAY'S and a panel of experts will pick and launch into market four finalist flavors instead of three, giving consumers even greater odds at winning the contest grand prize.
Submissions are open from now through April 5. Walmart shoppers can submit their flavor suggestions on www.walmart.com/dousaflavor. To submit, fans will be asked to provide their name, flavor name, up to three possible ingredients, chip style(s) and a 140-character description or inspiration for their flavor.
A judging panel made up of chefs, foodies and flavor experts will narrow down the contest and the four finalist flavors will then be fully developed by Frito-Lay's culinary experts and unveiled in Summer 2014. From there, it will be up to fans to vote for the finalist flavor they want to see stay on. The winning flavor, determined by fan votes – will be revealed in November 2014.
What inspires you? Would it be yummy as a chip? Visit www.walmart.com/dousaflavor to enter for your chance to win now!

As I write this, I'm sitting in my house waiting out another winter storm this season and wondering where the heck this "early spring" that was predicted by the groundhog on Feb. 2 is supposed to be.
But this season's storm, which produced a lot of snow for the Northeast, is nothing compared to the March 12, 1993 storm, which several people labeled "The Storm of the Century". Today, NOAA's YouTube channel produced this video, showing the radar animation from the storm 20 years ago.
If you were around for this storm, do you remember it? I remember living in Glens Falls, N.Y., which got LOTS of snow, but the interesting part is it got plowed relatively quickly (folks that live near the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York tend to know how to remove snow quickly). But that was also the storm where I drove over to central Massachusetts for a job interview, and remember driving through the city of Worcester seeing giant snowbanks all around, as they got hit with the storm as well (probably harder, knowing how much snow this region usually receives). Thus began my life as a New Englander (I got the job and have been in the region ever since).

Gill Landry performed the opening act at Hi-Dive on South Broadway in Denver, CO on October 17.
The Boulder Theater has been on a roll lately with their combination of a plethora of amazing and diverse shows. They have allowed the fans of Boulder to see so many different types of entertaining shows. This is what makes the venue the best indoor venue in Colorado.
Hello old friend. It has been a while since we have seen each other and I feel a little awkward. Will you still accept me? I know I have changed since we have seen each other. You have stayed true to whom you were. Has it been a year? I am coupling my anxiety about your acceptance with serious excitement; seeing you for the first time in a while makes me remember all of the good times we have had.
On October 30, I was one of the lucky ones to be in a sold out Sportpaleis for the concert of Lenny Kravitz. I don't think he needs an introduction, right? This time, he visited Belgium with his Black and White Tour.
Halloween is a time when the spirits of the past come and dance on this physical plane. At Bell's Brewery on Halloween weekend 2011, Strange Arrangement played like it was 1976.
How many successful Grateful Dead tribute projects have graced the music scene since the death of Mr. Jerry Garcia and the disbandment of the original 30-year "long strange trip"? Too many to bother keeping track of. The religious obsession that has continued to develop and flourish is due to an enormous number of factors. First and foremost, we weren't done listening.
Nothing says Halloween better than vampires. Except for Zombies maybe. Never mind the fact that it wasn't actually Halloween, it was Saturday night, and that's close enough for those of us with jobs that keep us from partying it up on a Monday night. Devotchka's annual Halloween show always draws a crowd of the costumed and enthused, and last Saturday was no exception. Add to the fact that Boulderites love a costume party more than most peop
The term "trance-fusion" comes along with certain assumptions and associations depending on whose saying it. Perhaps the term was coined by Frank Zappa's collection of guitar solos compiled just before his death in 1993. Generally the sub-genre refers to a collective of live improvisational bands that incorporate an electronic music element as key to their sound.
"This song is about interracial sex!" – That's the raunchy greeting Karl Denson gave to the Boulder Theater crowd on this Halloween weekend. Denson's Tiny Universe then immediately launched into the Rolling Stones' 'Brown Sugar,' which was just as ra
If there's any band out there that will make you go out on a school night and shake it, its Fort Collins based Euforquestra. Hell, I was running a fever that night and dragged my ass down to the party. Unfortunately I missed the first opening act Boom Chicken and most of Jet Edison's set.

Chicago 360 has an impressive view 1,030 feet above Michigan Ave. Add on a few extra floors and the massive 350 foot tall antennas and you suddenly have a view from 1,500. A view ironworker Danny Drozd captured for all of us.
The South Loop resident strapped a GoPro camera to his helmet on August 6 as he prepped the Hancock's west antenna for partial dismantlement. The 12 minute video offers some incredible views of the city and gives us a glimpse into the stead footwork needed when you're standing on the tip of Chicago's fourth tallest building.
The YouTube video has been almost 190,000 times and in an interview with Redeye, Drozd said he plans to post more videos when things settle down.

Hace unos días fui a un concierto de GBQ en Barcelona, y todavía me dura la impresión, he hecho un review que postee en el foro de Blur y GBQ, pero está en inglés, y me da pereza traducirlo.
Os lo pongo tal cual, si no lo entendéis, me lo decís y lo traduciré, vale?
Fui con una amiga, y nos lo pasamos genial, estábamos en primera fila y le teníamos cerquísima, a Damon. Además nos sonrió dos veces y nos guiñó un ojo!!!
Alucinamos pero bien!!!
Bueno, aquí esta el review:
When we got in our place (in the first line) there was no one except for about 7-8 guys who were sitting against the security fence.
I knew where we had to be, at the center, a bit to the left, but, damn, these people forced us to be a little more to the left than what we wanted to, but well, we were in a good position, anyway.
The security fence was about 2 metres away from the stage, and I couldn't believe how close we were gonna be!
We sat down, we had still an hour to wait. Some time later we heard the sound of some chains, my friend turned, and I got up and saw that they had already put their blue background and the piano.
The piano was more centered than what I thought, it was almost touching the drums, in fact, and that's because they had to leave some room for the violin players, who were almost touching the piano. There wasn't much space up there, as you can see.
I sat down again, and some time later my friend told me to look at someone walking towards the side of the stage: it was Eslaam! She didn't know him and I told her who he was, he was walking with someone, and my reaction was way too slow, when I thought about approaching him he had already disappeared in the backstage.
People were arriving as the time passed, and wen there were only five minutes left there was a crowd in front of us. We got up, and started to stare anxiously at the door at the right.
Suddenly I saw a silhouette in a hat at the door and I told my friend: he's there, but when she looked he was already gone. I saw him again a moment later, and soon after the violin players came out, sat down and started to play their intro. When Damon and the others came out the crowd started shouting and whisteling, and there were some british boys behind us shouting "Damon!".
The lights were intensified and Damon started singing "History Song". He looked a bit absent at first, he was so serious, as in a trance, but little by little he was feeling more comfortable, after a while he started smiling, and from that moment he seemed to be very into what he was doing.
Paul was great, absolutely great, moving around all the time, dancing with his guitar from one side to the other of the stage.
My friend was amazed at him, she hadn't seen him before and she didn't expect that at all.
Simon was serious, as always, and I couldn't see very well Tony because from where I stood he was hidden by his own drum kit.
But they all seemed to be having a good time, actually.
Damon was constantly dancing around and there was a moment in which he came right in front of us, we were both smiling as fools, and he was so serious, and my friend waved her hand and he smiled at us!!! He gave us such a big smile!!! We couldn't believe it!
Later, while sitting at the piano, he was looking at the sky so dark, and pointed his finger out to the only star we could see and said: "Estrella" (star). I'm sure he was willing to practice his new learnt Spanish .
I was trying to sing, jump, take pictures and record videos all at the same time, and I was having some trouble doing all this. My pictures were absolute crap, I wasn't able to make them right, I don't know why, so I decided to take video instead. But as I'd never recorded video before and obviously I'm a shitty video director, some of the recordings have a lot of movement, and a lot of them are short bits of the songs, and the worst of all is that sometimes you can hear me singing (or something like that), because I forgot I was recording and I had to shut up .
Anyway, in spite all that, I think the videos are quite interesting, because you can see Damon and Paul dancing and posing around, and the image quality isn't that bad.
I also managed to get some audio recordings (with my voice on them sometimes, too, unfortunately), and I'll post them as soon as I can.
It was time to play "The Bunting Song", and Damon looked up in search of the bunting, I'm sure, but they were placed a bit behind, so he started to sing.
When they were to play "A Soldier's Tale" Damon asked the crowd to be quiet, and they played it very softly, but, at the end of the song, we were abruptly invaded by the sound of another band playing in a stage near us, and Damon looked at the audience bothered and said sorry, and at the end of the song he pointed out at the other stage and said "Muchas canciones" (many songs), meaning of course that he was pissed off by that.
My friend and I felt sorry for him, he wanted it to sound so nice, and it was ruined at the end by the bad location of the stages.
They continued playing and at one point, he came again to where we where and approached the edge of the stage looking down, and I'd swear he was calculating the height to jump down, but it was too high and he turned back.
And later when he came in front of us again he smiled at us once more and winked his eye!!!
We were getting close to the end so fast that I couldn't believe it.
They played "Three Changes", "Green Fields" and when they were going to play "The Good The Bad And The Queen" he said: "La banda sin nombre" (The band with no name).
Then Eslaam appeared and they played "Mr. Whippy". Eslaam moved around the stage asking people to make the peace sign with our arms up, which we did, and when they finished, Damon started to count to four in Spanish and they left the stage.
I guessed that was it, but I hoped to be wrong, so we stood there a while asking them "One more", but they didn't come out again. We walked to the right side of the stage and asked the security guy, but, as we supposed, they had already left through the back door. He told us that they had had a van ready and waiting for them there.
We didn't want to leave yet, so we wandered around for some time, and in one of the tents, we bought a Blur and a Gorrillaz badge, and some time later we went home. There were still some concerts in there, but we weren't interested in them, we had already gotten our piece of heaven.
Bueno, aquí hay algunos vídeos que grabé:
Y capturas de mis vídeos:
Damon parece tan feliz!

Attendance at the talks will greatly benefit owners of all periods and types of houses, from the modest Edwardian artisan dwelling to the substantial red-bricks of the Victorian suburbs and the fine townhouses of our Georgian city squares, providing an A to Z for their care and conservation.
These talks will also benefit building professionals and practitioners and are approved for CPD by the Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland, Engineers Ireland, the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland, the Irish Planning Institute and the Heritage Contractors.
Talks, which will commence on Tuesday 1st March 2016, and continue for 12 weeks, will take place from 1pm to 2pm, in the Helen Roe Theatre, RSAI, 63 Merrion Square, Dublin 2.
It is possible to attend all, one or as many of the talks as you wish. The talks are priced at €15 each, payable at the door, or booked in advance at a reduced rate of €125 for all twelve talks. Complementary to the Tuesday talks will be a Saturday morning walking tour, at an additional cost of €15.
The Conserving your Dublin Period House course is an action of the Dublin City Heritage Plan and fulfils City Council conservation policy to provide architectural advice to homeowners. It is also an action of the Irish Georgian Society's Conservation Education Programme.
The Conservation Education Programme is supported by Irish Heritage Insurance

*Trigger Warning for rape and spiritual abuse (but don't worry--if you get upset, just click on any mention of Driscoll's name for an adorable fluffy bunny)*In case you're not as obsessed with the Christian blogosphere as I am, there's been a petition going around asking Liberty University to keep Mark Driscoll from speaking there. When I saw the petition being circulated by several progressive bloggers, you know this radical feminist had to check it out. So, I clicked, and I read and...(are … [Read more...]

Bath tub leaking through Drain
Our bath tub was leaking through the drain and we found out once the water started dripping onto our main floor dining room. Anyway, now we have a whole on the main floor ceiling thats about the size of an inch and a leaking drain.
We tried to pour a bucket of water and it leaked, we tried pouring a jug of water straight into the drain and it leaked so i think the leak is from somewhere under the tub. We have a closet right behind the tub area. Would it be possible to get access to the tub drain from the closet or would we have to cut the ceiling on the main floor? Also does anyone have any good ways of hiding the patch work if we cut from the main floor. We had one quote to fix the leak from main floor ceiling and then respray the entire ceiling and that was $900.
Please help.
Best to access the drain of the tub from below, as you might need to replace the entire waste and overflow assembly, this will also allow the moister in the ceiling to dry out.
Unless you just do not want to make a claim, then your homeowners insurance usually pays for the damage caused by the leak, but not the leak itself.
I would get more than one estimate on the damage repairs and hire the contractor directly to fix it, instead of using one of your insurance companies choosing.
This may not be the route you want to go, as you will most likely have a deductible to pay, and after paying that, may have paid out the cost of all or most of the damage repairs, and you'll have a claim on your record. Some companies will drop your coverage for more than x number of claims in y number of months.
I agree with opening the ceiling up and repairing from below, as this allows the best access and view of the problem. It might be necessary in any case, as access from an adjacent wall might not be inadequate.
Other than being ugly and letting in some drafts (and making a mess) there is no real problem with opening that ceiling up some (removing the drywall) to expose the area and allow it to start drying out. It will need to be very dry to allow for proper repairs anyway.
Hi I don't think the leak is big enough to be on the home insurance and like you said, i think our deductible will cover most of the expense. The whole on the ceiling is about an 1 inch and the water mark is about 3 inch right now. I hope this can be fixed for much less cost than my initial quote. Thanks
Your best bet is to bite the bullet and open the ceiling. It won't cost any more to patch a 12" x 12" hole than it would for a 2" x 2" hole. plus If you pay a plumber to come fix it he will have to make that same hole anyways. who knows maybe you will find that its just a loose tub show gasket or a slip nut if that the type of waste and overflow that was used. at the very least if you can see the leak in the ceiling you can get a better estimate as to what the cost will be to repair it.
If I were to come to make this plumbing repair, I would want to open the ceiling in all areas that have water spots and or pipes from that tub. I would want to do this to be sure I have made all the needed repairs and that all the leaks have been repaired before the ceiling is repaired.
Once the leaks are repaired, leave the ceiling unrepaired for a few days once the tub is put back into service. This will allow inspection and some degree of assurance that you have gotten all the leaks. Its not uncommon for a tub to leak from more than one spot, and usually, its not the fault of the plumbing, but rather the tub surround.

CANADA STOCKS-Futures indicate higher start after BoJ stimulus boost
(Updates with U.S. and Canadian economic data)
Oct 31 - Stock futures pointed to a higher start for Canada's main stock index on Friday after the Bank of Japan surprised financial markets by significantly expanding its massive stimulus program.
The BoJ board voted to accelerate purchases of Japanese government bonds while tripling purchases of exchange-traded funds and real-estate investment trusts.
December futures on the S&P TSX index were up 0.66 percent at 8.45 a.m. ET.
Canadian GDP data for August released on Friday had little impact. A drop in oil and gas output affected by maintenance, combined with a fall in manufacturing, helped push the Canadian economy to its first decline since December.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index fell on Thursday as shares of gold miners tumbled after the companies reported disappointing quarterly results and positive U.S. economic data hurt bullion prices.
Dow Jones Industrial Average e-mini futures were up 0.99 percent at 8.45 a.m. ET, while S&P 500 e-mini futures were up 1.01 percent and Nasdaq 100 e-mini futures were up 1.45 percent.

Picasso is a legend whose paintings almost everyone can visualize today. His work and character had an enormous influence on 20th century art.
As an artist and man, Picasso is still one-of-a-kind — rather like the collection of his works on display at the Picasso Museum in Paris. In this film, Didier Baussy-Oulianoff presents the collection, sorts the work according to period, and establishes what inspired each piece.
The filmmaker also explains why some of the paintings on display were so close to Picasso's heart that he never sold them, preferring to hold on to them until he died.

Discharge planning in the emergency department : a comprehensive approach
Han, Chin-Yen, Barnard, Alan, & Chapman, Helen M. (2009) Discharge planning in the emergency department : a comprehensive approach. Journal of Emergency Nursing, 35(6), pp. 525-527.
Discharge planning has become increasingly important, with current trends toward shorter hospital stays, increased health care costs, and more community-based health services. Effective discharge planning ensures the safety and ongoing care for patients,1 and it also benefits health care providers and organizations. It results in shorter hospital stays, fewer readmissions, higher access rates to post-hospitalization services, greater patient satisfaction with the discharge, and improved quality of life and continuity of care.[2] and [3]
All acute care patients and their caregivers require some degree of preparation for discharge home—education about their health status, risks, and treatment; help setting health goals and maintaining a good level of self-care; information about community resources; and follow-up appointments and referrals to appropriate community health providers. Inadequate preparation exposes the patient to unnecessary risks of recurrence or complications of the acute complaint, neglect of nonacute comorbidities, mismanagement and side effects of medication, disruption of family and social life, emotional distress, and financial loss.[2], [3] and [4] The result may be re-presentation to the emergency department. It is noteworthy that up to 18% of ED presentations are revisits within 72 hours of the original visit5; many of these are considered preventable.6
It is a primary responsibility of nurses to ensure that patients return to the community adequately prepared and with appropriate support in place. Up to 65% of ED patients are discharged home from the emergency department,7 and the characteristics of the emergency department and its patient population make the provision of a high standard of discharge planning uniquely difficult. In addition, discharge planning is neglected in contemporary emergency nursing—there are no monographs devoted to the subject, and there is little published research. In this article 3 issues are explored: the importance of emergency nurses' participation in the discharge-planning process, impediments to their participation; and strategies to improve discharge planning in the emergency department.

I am thinking of starting new music hobby and my eyes are on the wind instruments on the shelf of a music store.
I thought I have decided on the mini-trumpet but when I saw the clarinet, I thought that this one is not bad either. Then next to it is the flute. And then there's saxophone. Now I'm confused.
In terms of portability and ease in learning, which one should I choose? Anybody experienced here who can share a thought?

On a scale of one to 10 on the scale of really annoying things, not being able to find your keys when you're already late has to be right up there with breaking down on a stormy night in the middle of the Yorkshire Moors or England losing their talismanic player to injury just before a major international football competition.
But what do any of us actually do about it? Nothing. Nada. Squat. In fact even those who are organised usually just leave their in regular 'safe' place – hanging on a hook in the hall maybe, or on a surface near the door – a great system until your local neighbourhood thief works out that a poking a long stick with a magnet on the end through your letter box gains him unfettered access to a household of precious belongings.
Well here's a chance to put locksmiths all over the country in fear for their livelihoods and move opportunist thieves on to the next street. It's an electronic key locator – but with a difference.
Once, the height of lost item locator technology was 'clap/whistle and it beeps'. The Loc8tor Plus is altogether more sophisticated. It comes in two parts: locator tags which you attach to your keys (or anything else important that you're in the habit of misplacing) and the locator handset.
The tags have a flashing LED built in and emit high pitched pips when you activate them. The handset is used just like a pocket metal detector to activate tags and track down your lost items. The closer you get to your precious things, the faster the handset bleeps. It also has a graphical display that shows how close you're getting, and keeps working until you're an inch away. It uses an RF (radio frequency) technology to perform its magic.
And now for the really clever stuff. Each tag can be given a name and registered separately with the handset (up to 24 per handset) so you can search for specific things – keys, wallet, cat and so on. It'll work up to a maximum of 600 feet in open space, which I found to be easily enough to cover all the nooks and crannies in my Victorian terrace and in addition to its standard locator mode has a couple of useful extra features too.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will reportedly launch this October. Pushing the screen envelope even further, its display is rumoured to be larger and "unbreakable".
According to MK Business News, a Korean publication, the second Galaxy Note phone-tablet border tightrope walker will launch later this year, in October. Although no sources are cited for this finding, the site comes up with some interesting-enough suggestions to be worth a mention.
It writes that the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will have larger screen than its predecessor, a slimmer design and - most interesting of all - will use a UBP display. This stands for unbreakable plane. It's a precursor to fully flexible displays, able to flex rather than shatter under pressure.
The next major version of the Android OS, Jelly Bean, will reportedly feature in the device, and a quad-core processor is set to run it. An iterative-upgrade approach seems very Samsung, but MK Business News's take on the phone-tablet should only be treated as a rumour at this point.
The current Samsung Galaxy Note features an impressive 5.3in 800 x 1,280 pixel screen, and while its bod is just-about pocketable, any larger would be stretching it. Quite literally. Could you take more than 5.3 inches?

In a break from the usual proceedings (being the duty of recapping my Eroticon 2013 experience) I wanted to treat you guys to something I wrote during KD Grace's excellent Finessing Sex session. After we had covered all bases, doing a short character sketch and setting a scene, we were asked to write a short scene in the space of ten/fifteen minutes.
For this scene, I resurrected Elin and Jase (remember those buggers?) and completely restyled them, because God knows they needed it. At the start of the scene, imagine our leading lady (short, redhead, big boobs) in the buff, if you please.
Here we go.
"Excuse me?" I say, my jaw nearly unhinging from the shock.
I have no time to contemplate just how wrong this whole shebang is because Jase pushes me against the cold, hard brick wall and silences me with an all-devouring kiss.The impact of the wall against my back makes me cry out in pain but slivers of pleasure build up in my stomach as he unzips his jeans and reveals his cock, proudly erect.
I'm momentarily lost for words, the worry of Jade returning from the market protruding in my mind but as he kisses me again, pressing his dick against my hip in the process, I lose the will to care.
My pussy is so wet, it has taken over my headspace and all I can hear is the words "Fuck him, fuck him, fuck him" on repeat.
He opens me, not just my pussy, every metaphorical inch of me. His breath hot on my neck, his hands rough and calloused on my breasts, his moans, his guttural "I must have you now" moans and finally, blessedly, his cock inside me.
I am fucking Jade's boyfriend and I don't give a shit.
After all, she never did.
Comments welcome. I am here all week and I also do requests. Try the steak, it's lush.

: Choosing a practitioner
Right now I am trying to find a practitioner for my pregnancy. As some of you know, I am very pro-natural childbirth and against the
medicalization of pregnancy and birth.
Where I live, direct-entry midwifery is illegal. The closest freestanding birth center is 2.5 hours away. There are no CNMs in the area who do deliveries. There is one family practitioner (a DO) that does home deliveries that I have heard about. There are also underground midwives who practice illegally.
So I feel very limited in my options. I am going to talk to some experienced doulas I know about practitioners who are friendly to natural childbirth and maybe go to a La Leche League meeting and ask around there too.
I went to my first prenatal appointment yesterday at my gynecologist's office. I had an appt to see a "doctor," but it turned out the woman is a nurse practitioner who has a PhD. She told me she would handle my prenatal and postpartum care, but she does not attend deliveries. For my delivery, I would have whichever of 11 doctors is at the hospital at the time. I really don't like the idea of not meeting the doctor until I'm already in labor and having no idea what they are like and what their philosophy about birth is. And it does not seem feasible to try and meet with all 11 of them during my pregnancy.
I told her I wanted to do natural birth and she was very encouraging that I hire a doula and write up a birth plan, so I thought that was a good sign. However, she seemed put off when I asked about their c-section rate (26%) and episiotomies. I did not like her answer about episiotomies--she said they would do one if they thought I would tear into my rectum because it would save my rectum. Last I checked, 4th degree tears were
common with episiotomies. She seemed a little defensive and like she felt that she had to convince me that an episiotomy might save my rectum.
So I guess a smaller practice would be better. I know there is never a guarantee that the person you've been seeing will be the one to catch your baby, but if the practice is smaller, I could meet with the different doctors and get a better feel for the culture of the practice and how much they will support me in my hopes for a natural birth.
I'm going to make a couple more appointments with some other doctors I've heard are supportive of natural birth (one is the doctor my friend had a water birth with and had no IV or monitoring or anything). But I am feeling discouraged about my options.

Any help on this would be hugely appreciated.
We're using a batch playblast MEL script to open a series of scenes and generate playblasts. It's all relatively simple, but the files use a lot of external references, and viewport textures take a good while to load.
When we're manually playblasting, we just hop from frame to frame and let the textures load, then run the playblast.
We tried to emulate this by moving the time slider 25 frames, pausing for 10 seconds, rinsing and repeating.
When we use the pause command, it doesn't seem to let the textures load, most of them stay white.
Any way to force maya to load all textures in viewport? Or to actively 'wait' for them to load?
Any insight would be fantastic!

Ibiza Airport customer review
Ian Fraser (United Kingdom)
Made our annual visit to Ibiza in September. Some changes some good some bad. The good now a silent airport no plane announcement but the gates are now available on line 24hrs before and put on the boards 1 hour before departure verbal announcements happen if this changes. Plenty of seating in the departure areas and all together a pleasant airport to sit and wait for departure. The bad most arrivals are bussed to the terminal last year and previous it was a 75 yard straight to passport control now they have put in walkways and it is now about 600 yards to walk up and down for old people us not good especially when easy to adjust the straps and cut down the walking distance when little arrival traffic. Getting out similar this year now 3 funnels for customs which feed into each other creating one big bottle neck with those who are leaving it to the last minute trying to push through to the front have made what worked into a disaster. Took us an hour to get through customs and we were nearly the last plane leaving at this time.

WASHINGTON -- Many years ago I walked into the senatorial offices of Republican John Williams of Delaware and noticed a number of big boxes stacked in the hallway. When I inquired if he was moving to other quarters, Williams, a good source and a better friend, grinned and explained that the boxes contained documents that supported his federal income tax filing for the year.
"I know they're going to audit me every year so I just pack up all my notes and other records and ship them off. It sort of drives them nuts," he chuckled.
There was no need to ask why he would do this. Everyone knew at the time that the man called the "conscience of the Senate" still had enemies in the Internal Revenue Service after taking the lead in an early 1950s congressional investigation that nearly broke up the big tax collection agency and completely altered the way it worked.
As a result of Williams' efforts 125 convictions for fraud, bribery and extortion and other misdeeds ultimately were handed out to IRS officials. President Harry Truman was forced to fire the IRS commissioner T. Lamar Caudle who also later went to jail for his part in the huge affair. Even after this, members of Congress were cautious about taking on the tax collectors for obvious reasons just as they were about too much criticism of the FBI's J. Edgar Hoover. The threat of audits and leaks was as intimidating as what might be contained in Hoover's legendary secret files.
Currently, there is a major political debate over just how serious another burgeoning IRS scandal really is. Unsurprisingly the Democrats deny it amounts to much while most Republicans are sure of it. Until recently the evidence seemed to point to a rogue operation at worst run by a former IRS official, Lois Lerner, whose minions apparently held up applications by conservative groups seeking tax exempt status.
There is no denying the political aspects of the matter. Democrats charge that they also were victims but the proof of that is shallow if at all and they further contend this is a Republican witch hunt to link Lerner's operation to the White House. Both parties have mounted similar defenses historically in the face of scandal. This time it seemed to be sticking.
That is until recently when the current IRS commissioner, John Kaskinen, nonchalantly revealed that two years of emails from Lerner's operations have disappeared because of a computer crash. Outraged Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee understandably met this with skepticism.
The GOP members of the powerful tax writing committee which they all but control called Kaskinen a liar and even the casual observer would find the head tax collector's smug explanation a bit too pat to be truthful.
For those not too young to remember it reminded one of those missing 18 seconds from Rosemary Woods' recorder during the Nixon Administration's Watergate scandal. One couldn't help but wonder whether unlike the Nixon White House which refused to burn the incriminating tapes, the IRS decided to do away with any evidence that might be interpreted as part of an effort to help the president win reelection in 2012.
The specter of the missing emails is unlikely to go away and as the current election season heats up, the accusations of wrongdoing can be expected to increase. The IRS's defenders haven't been helped by Lerner's Fifth Amendment refusal to testify before the House and the perception that the agency is applying whitewash in liberal gobs.
Whether this scandal, as some believe, is the worst in the history of the agency is hard to say. It would be difficult to match the one John Williams brought to light at least from a base criminal aspect. From a constitutional one, serious evidence that the IRS had tried to manipulate the tax code in favor of the incumbent president would be a contender for that dubious honor.
It is not unbelievable that someone in the White House might foolishly have dropped a hint that this would be a good idea. Nixon clearly contemplated it and when his intentions for his infamous enemy's list were made clear to his aides, the IRS commissioner at the time refused absolutely.
Kiskinen's the dog ate the emails excuse is dubious at best.
Dan Thomasson is an op-ed columnist for McClatchy-Tribune and a former vice president of Scripps Howard Newspapers. Readers may send him email at: email@example.com.
If a group wants to raise money by selling a product or service or by seeking donations, it must form a legal entity. That entity must register with the IRS to obtain a taxpayer identification number. The regulations and classifications are established by Congress and enforced by the IRS. At this level, is the federal government involvement too much, too little, or just right?
If the IRS checks the applications, is there a limit to the questions it can ask? Can it require a group to provide a list of its members and donors? Can the IRS ask for a copy of every speech given by members of the group? Is there a time limit for the IRS to make a decision?
If the IRS audits the group members and their businesses, is that just a coincidence?
The IRS is required to investigate ALL applicants of 501(c)3 & 501(c)4s.
MORE teaparty conservatives applied compared to progressives.
The only group denied was a PROGRESSIVE group...
The Greedy Obstructionist Party is so desperate for power and control of govt. they have to make an issue out of the IRS doing its job.----- Just like Boehner saying he's filing suit against Obama...Repeatedly he's been asked what specific charges he has....NADA.....
Midterms are comin' folks....
Please answer the question, are you still duped by the phony Republican scandals?
Still can't/won't answer a simple question heh buzzy?
Talk about low info.........................
Are the low info dupes still fooled by this fake scandal? Will Republicans ever get to work for the middle class instead of wasting time on made-up scandals?
But the simple minds of some on the left still don't see a problem. I wonder if they would feel the same if the President had an "R" behind his name?

Computer World –
Gordon Eubanks was the president and CEO of Cupertino, Calif.-based software vendor Symantec Corp. until early last year, when he became the CEO at Oblix Inc., also based in Cupertino. Oblix develops software for use in setting and enforcing Internet access policies and identifying users. In an interview with Computerworld today, Eubanks talked about e-commerce and the network architectures that can help companies take advantage of the Internet.
Q: What kind of changes does doing business on the Web require to internal architectures and in how users are allowed to access corporate databases?
A: What's happening today is there's a massive effort to get businesses to connect directly with each other. In order to do that, you have to know who the people are and what they're authorized to connect with. At the end of the day, you have to open up your firewall [in front of] the Web server so that people can access the Web server. [Users should] build a unified architecture for Web-enabling [their systems]. Build the right architecture, enable the infrastructure and then start picking the applications to put online.
Q: Is it easy to build on different types of authentication, if you're talking about technologies such as smart cards or biometrics?
A: Yes. The authentication systems aren't really that complex. It's like a password is not really that complex. It's just really an algorithm.
Q: How does peer-to-peer computing fit into this new Web-enabled architecture?
A: [The Internet] is the heart and soul of peer-to-peer. [It] allows a business to connect directly with another business . . . I'm amazed that people are talking about peer-to-peer being this whole new thing. Peer-to-peer is not, in my mind, fundamentally different than what we've been doing with the Internet all along. It is what the Internet's about -- being able to publish information or being able to publish access to applications. In a business context, though, you have to apply business rules to these things. And part of the business rules are who is allowed and who isn't allowed, and what kind of an authorization and oversight is involved in accessing systems.
Q: Is the stock market's more skeptical view of dot-com ventures a result of companies that didn't have good business plans to begin with?
A: The Internet is really about reduced costs of interaction . . . than it is about selling things. It's akin to the railroad or to the telegraph. Unfortunately, I think we got sidetracked with a lot of really dumb ideas, because [the view was that] they were sort of Internet, [so] they must be good. And, of course, that's getting sorted out.
Q: What still needs to be done to make the Internet really useful to companies?
A: If you look at the railroads, as a good example, in order to make the railroads happen, you had to agree not only on the gauge of the tracks, but you had to agree on how couplings work. They had to agree on whole accounting processes. They invented a whole set of systems. A whole bunch of infrastructure had to be put in place . . . If you look at historic data, we're really early on in building the infrastructure [for the Internet].

Records provide new look at Ariz. shooting spree
FILE – This photo released Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2011, by the U.S. Marshal's Service shows Jared Lee Loughner, who pleaded guilty in the Tucson, Ariz., shooting rampage that killed six people and left several others wounded, including then-U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Hundreds of pages of police reports in the investigation of the shooting were released Wednesday, March 27, 2013 marking the public's first glimpse into documents that authorities have kept private since the attack on Jan. 8, 2011. (AP Photo/U.S. Marshal's Office, File)
PHOENIX (AP) — Almost everyone who crossed paths with Jared Loughner in the year before he shot former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords described a man who was becoming more unhinged and delusional by the day.
He got fired from a clothing store and thrown out of college, shaved his head and got tattoos of bullets on his shoulder. He showed up at the apartment of a friend with a Glock 9 mm pistol, saying he needed it for "home protection." He made dark comments about the government, and, according to one acquaintance, appeared suicidal.
Loughner's spiral into madness hit bottom on Jan. 8, 2011. He broke down in tears when a wildlife agent pulled him over for a traffic stop. He went to a gas station and asked the clerk to call a cab as he paced nervously around the store. Gazing up at the clock, he said, "Nine twenty-five. I still got time."
About 45 minutes later, Giffords lay bleeding on a Tucson sidewalk along with 11 others who were wounded. Six people were dead.
The information about Loughner's mental state — and the fact that no one did much to get him help — emerged as a key theme in roughly 2,700 pages of investigative papers released Wednesday. Still, there was nothing to indicate exactly why he targeted Giffords.
The files also provided the first glimpse into Loughner's family and a look at parents dealing with a son who had grown nearly impossible to communicate with.
"I tried to talk to him. But you can't," his father, Randy Loughner, told police. "Lost, lost and just didn't want to communicate with me no more."
[auth] His mother, Amy Loughner, recalled hearing her son alone in his room "having conversations" as if someone else were there.
Despite recommendations from Pima Community College that Loughner undergo a mental evaluation after the school expelled him, his parents never followed up.
In a statement released by the gun control advocacy group she started with her husband, Giffords said that "no one piece of legislation" would have prevented the shooting.
"However, I hope that commonsense policies like universal background checks become part of our history, just like the Tucson shootings are — our communities will be safer because of it."
While such checks may keep those with mental illnesses from obtaining guns, the 24-year-old Loughner had never been diagnosed with any conditions, meaning it's doubtful much would have stopped him from legally purchasing a weapon.
Friends and family interviewed by law enforcement after the shooting painted a picture of a young man who was deeply troubled in the weeks before the shooting.
Loughner visited Anthony George Kuck, who had known him since preschool. Kuck said he was alarmed to find he had shaved his head and was armed.
"I kicked him out of my house because he showed me his gun," Kuck said.
Kuck told police he had seen Loughner's mental state deteriorate over time, starting with drinking problems in high school, trouble with authorities and being kicked out of college.
"I know he has some crazy thoughts where he … just believes the government is corrupt, and he has all these assumptions on things, that he doesn't really know what he's talking about," Kuck told investigators.
While he never heard him mention Giffords "he just seemed to have some kind of … hate for government," Kuck added.
Kuck's roommate, Derek Andrew Heintz, who has known Loughner since he was about 12, said he was cooking when Loughner showed up with a gun and removed it from his belt. It was loaded with 32 rounds.
He asked Loughner why he had the weapon.
"I just want to show you,'" Loughner replied.
Loughner then left Heintz with a souvenir — one bullet.
His parents grew alarmed over his behavior on several occasions — at one point submitting him to drug-testing. The results were negative, said Amy Loughner, who was particularly worried that her son might have been using methamphetamine.
The father said his son kept journals, but they were written in an indecipherable script. Loughner bought a 12-gauge shotgun in 2008, but his parents took it away from him after he was expelled from college and administrators recommended he not own weapons.
On the day of the shooting, he and his father got in an argument, and he chased Jared Loughner away from their house. Friend Bryce Tierney told investigators Loughner called him early in the morning that day and left a cryptic voice mail that he believed was suicidal.
"He just said, 'Hey, this is Jared. Um, we had some good times together. Uh, see you later.' And that's it," Tierney said.
Onetime Loughner friend Zachary Osler explained how he worked at a sporting goods store where Loughner bought the handgun used in the shooting. He was questioned about seeing Loughner shopping there sometime before Thanksgiving and described an awkward encounter with the man.
"His response is nothing. Just a mute facial expression. And just like he, he didn't care," Osler told authorities.
News organizations seeking the records were denied access in the months after the shooting and the arrest of Loughner, who was sentenced in November to seven consecutive life sentences, plus 140 years, after he pleaded guilty to 19 federal charges.
Last month, U.S. District Judge Larry Burns cleared the way for the release of the records after Star Publishing Company, which publishes the Arizona Daily Star in Tucson, joined by Phoenix Newspapers Inc., which publishes The Arizona Republic, and KPNX-TV, sought their release. The judge said Loughner's fair-trial rights were no longer on the line now that his criminal case has resolved.
Loughner's guilty plea enabled him to avoid the death penalty. He is serving his sentence at a federal prison medical facility in Springfield, Mo., where he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and forcibly given psychotropic drug treatments to make him fit for trial.
Loughner's attorney, Judy Clarke, didn't return a call seeking comment Wednesday. There was no listed telephone phone number for Randy and Amy Loughner.
Arizona's chief federal judge and a 9-year-old girl were among those killed in the rampage. Giffords was left partially blind, with a paralyzed right arm and brain injury. She resigned from Congress last year.
Giffords intern Daniel Hernandez described how people were lining up to see Giffords on the morning of the shooting. He helped people sign in and recalled handing the sheet on a clipboard to Loughner.
"The next thing I hear is someone yell, 'Gun,'" said Hernandez, who rushed to tend to Giffords' gunshot wound to the head.
"She couldn't open her eyes. I tried to get any responses from her. It looked like her left side was the only side that was still mobile," Hernandez told authorities. "She couldn't speak. It was mumbled. She was squeezing my hand."
Hernandez explained how he had some training as a nurse and first checked for a pulse.
"She was still breathing. Her breathing was getting shallower," he said. "I then lifted her up so that she wasn't flat on the ground."
When he was arrested at the scene, Loughner was wearing peach-colored foam earplugs and had two loaded magazines in his left front pocket for the Glock he used in the shootings.
Hours later, he was polite and cooperative as detectives began their initial interview.
As Loughner sat in restraints in an interview room, the conversation was confined mainly to small talk. Little was said over the first four hours. Loughner asked if he could use the restroom, then at one point complained he felt sore.
"I'm about ready to fall over," he said.
Today, Giffords is still recovering. She struggles to speak in complete sentences and often walks with the help of her husband.
In a January interview on ABC News, she said "daggers" to recount her tense, face-to-face encounter with Loughner at his sentencing. When asked to describe his mental illness, she said one word: "sad."
Associated Press writers Michael R. Blood and Justin Pritchard in Los Angeles contributed to this report.

Christie Says Jon Stewart Segment "Hysterical" But Inaccurate [VIDEO]
During his press conference announcing Attorney General Jeff Chiesa as an interim United States Senator to fill the late Frank Lautenberg's seat, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie referenced Jon Stewart's Daily Show comments about the special election.
Stewart dug up audio from 2009 in which Christie said that no responsible governor would spend $10 million on a special election. "He chose the irresponsible….special election" said a flustered Stewart, describing the decision as a "self serving abuse of power."
The Lawrenceville native disagrees with Christie's reason for calling the special election: New Jersey needs an elected Senator as quickly as possible. He says the interim Senator will experience "three weeks of work in the Senate (which) is basically 28 lobbyist meet-and-greets, 14 days of old man smell acclimation, and 6 filibusters," he said.
Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/jon-stewart-chris-christie-special-election-daily-show-june-5-2013-6#ixzz2VT6bSRcj
Christie said of the segment "It was very funny. It was hysterical" but has nothing to do with the circumstances around Lautenberg.

Just months after becoming the first pope in nearly 600 years to resign, reports are surfacing that Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI is in poor health with diminished stature and energy.
After a brief hiatus at the papal summer residence in Castel Gandolfo, Benedict returned to live in a converted monastery on the edge of the Vatican gardens last month. Already, some of his visitors have commented on the former pope's physical deterioration.
"Benedict is in a very bad way," said Paloma Gomez Borrero, a veteran Vatican correspondent for Spain's Telecinco television network who visited the former pope in late May. "We won't have him with us much longer."
Cardinal Joachim Meisner, the archbishop of Cologne, Germany, and a personal friend of Benedict's, visited the former pope in April.
"I was shocked at how thin he had become," Meisner said at the time. "Mentally, he is quite fit, his old self. But he had halved in size."
Vatican officials have admitted Benedict has weakened since stepping down, but they deny his physical condition has become critical.
Although the physical deterioration of Pope John Paul II from 2003 to 2005 was well documented, the fact that no pope has resigned from office since Gregory XII in 1415 means there is no protocol for dealing with or reporting on the physical state of a former pontiff, especially one who has vowed to stay out of the public eye.
"There haven't been many popes to resign, but in the previous instances the popes did not live long after abdicating," said Alistair Sear, a priest and church historian. "Gregory XII didn't even live long enough to see his successor named."
But the lack of visibility does not mean Benedict is out of the thoughts of the faithful.
"He is in our prayers every day," said Maria Paoloa Santo Stefano, part of a community of Sisters of Mercy nuns based in Rome. "Pope John Paul suffered in public, and Benedict chose to suffer in private. But that does not make his mission less important and less brave."
