A report made public on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 suggests a warning to individuals who frequently reach for their salt shakers: beware because less sodium is all the better for your long term health. Results of the study, conducted by a teams from Harvard University's School of Public Health, UC San Francisco, and Canada's Simon Fraser University, were made public in the American Heart Association's Hypertension Journal and claims that more than 500,000 Americans could prevent a premature death by reducing their sodium intake to less than 2,200 milligrams per day.
The team was lead by UCSF mathematician Pam Coxson who offered: "No matter how we look at it, the story is the same - there will be huge benefits to reducing sodium."
The study was based upon international data over the time span of one decade and found a direct link between higher salt consumption and higher than average blood pressure as people age. They also found that individuals who consumed less than 1,300 milligrams of sodium per day had lower than average blood pressure despite their age. The group projected that a 40% reduction in sodium over a ten year span would reduce the risk of death due to cardiovascular disease by as many as 850,000 to 1.2 million people.
The study also found that Americans who consume processed foods (like cereal, bread, and soups) take in hidden amounts of sodium take in a minimum of 3,600 milligrams of sodium on a daily basis - a number far greater than what many doctors consider safe.
Public health officials, food industry experts, and members of the medical community have urged food manufactures to significantly reduce the sodium content within processed foods to improve health and cardiovascular function.
The official report will be available on February 13, 2013 in Hypertension. In the meantime, for more go here.

Comment 1 Ray Strode [halfline] 2012-01-12 18:31:08 EST
This is not a gnome-screensaver bug. It's either a pam_pkcs11 bug or a pam_krb5 bug, but we fixed it in pam_pkcs11 several years ago, so it's probably pam_krb5 pkinit-y bug. Basically pam_pkcs11 has something like: /* bail if the user didn't log in with smart card */ if (getenv("PKCS11_LOGIN_TOKEN_NAME") is empty) return PAM_IGNORE; So my guess is the second pam_krb5 line in the auth section is getting run and it's not ignoring the smartcard like it should.
Comment 2 Nalin Dahyabhai 2012-03-21 18:38:49 EDT
Punting forward, as the underpinnings of this setup have changed and we're not making big changes in this area in EL5 at this point.
Comment 5 Nalin Dahyabhai 2013-07-16 13:22:39 EDT
(In reply to Ray Strode [halfline] from comment #1) > Basically pam_pkcs11 has something like: > > /* bail if the user didn't log in with smart card */ > if (getenv("PKCS11_LOGIN_TOKEN_NAME") is empty) return PAM_IGNORE; > > So my guess is the second pam_krb5 line in the auth section is getting run > and it's not ignoring the smartcard like it should. With that configuration, then, a "no_subsequent_prompt" option added to that second invocation should also disable any attempts to gather PINS or passwords for PKINIT credentials.
Comment 6 Tomas Mraz 2013-07-17 05:25:30 EDT
I slightly wonder why the no_subsequent_prompt option was needed when use_first_pass should have basically the same meaning. However if I add this option in authconfig, should it be always added or only in case the smartcard authentication is enabled?

Only for the smart card case, please. Distinguishing between a user's long-term password (which use_first_pass affects) and non-password information that we may have to ask for (smart card PINs, OTP values) is... well, kind of a mess when the PAM_AUTHTOK can be any of those things, so no_subsequent_prompt, in combination with use_first_pass/try_first_pass, lets you control whether or not the module will allow the library to trigger an additional prompt, and whether or not it will just hand back the PAM_AUTHTOK if it does.

Re: Oh Deer!
Just because you're on the right side of the Park line, doesn't mean you're safe from the hunters!
Here's a larger view.
Thanks to TGentry for the initial idea. I did tweak it a little (obviously) from what he suggested, but I liked the perspective I started with and just went from there. I hope you all enjoy!

Just saying thanks for all the great comments. Really glad so many of you like this one. And if it doesn't print, I'll be there with the tissues for those of you that said you'd cry if you couldn't buy it.
Adorable and funny! I like.

Hah! This looks really great! GMV .
I'd love to visit this park! Looks more entertaining the regular stuff bears do at the circus. Great job!
Thanks guys ^^.
Oh, the Bass is like the fish, because my last name is Bass, hurrrr. I always got made fun of for it in school, but now I embrace the fun.
Sorry for the black shirt/brown shirt. I wanted it to look very graphic, so I needed black outlines, which would have gotten lost on black. Plus, I tend to pick a color of shirt to cheat the 6 color rule. I thought I would need it for the brown on the bear, but ended up changing my mind later. Hopefully it would look ok, if by some galactic stroke of luck this made it to the fog, or HM later.
Glad you guys think the ridiculousness is fun! It was my goal :D.
really hoping this one wins so I can buy one
It's not even a sequoia!!!
Where the hell's the rejectionator?
Personally I like the design. I understand why it was rejected though. I've seen similar designs around the block. I am new to this site also. I must say I hope you were using sarcasm when you mentioned history seeing that this site has been around for only 2 years or so. If you weren't kidding I must tell you that is not history kitty. I have a Art History degree and understand the history and depth of images throughout time. That is what is a matter with this younger generation of kitties is that they think everything started with the internet and cell phones and have no true knowledge of the history of art and culture.
mrwednesday wrote:No, it has nothing to do with new people. It has to do with people who happen to be new that come in without any knowledge of the past or any respect for the community here or the designers that made shirt woot what it is and whine and moan that their favorite designs shouldn't have to follow the rules.
It also comes from new people assuming that after a derby or two that they know everything there is to know about the derbies when they have no concept of the history here. Beyond that, they tend to be incredibly touchy at any insinuation that anything should be more important than their $10 t-shirt.
The rules are in place for a reason and the themes are in place for a reason. It is not just a t-shirt. There is a very substantial reward for printing which can make a huge difference for the artists who put their time and effort into designing and those rewards should never be doled out to the same stagnant designs just because "I like it" or because "I want to spite the people who don't like this."
Many new people realize that the veterans have been here a long time and seen a lot more than they have and so have a better perspective of what's going on. They also put in the effort to understand where people are coming from and have some respect for the process.
The new people who get hate tend to be self centered and expect to have everything handed to them and that any disagreement with their wishes is tantamount to murder. If more of the new people had a little more respect for the artists and designers here there would be infinitely fewer issues.
seriously... this needs to win
Re: Yellowsnow National Park
Just yuck.
Re: Mount Bubbmore
It's a shame so few people know who that is
Re: New Beginning
I am sure if you had used a pot plant you would have gotten more votes.
Re: Tower Search
Whoa! This looks really nice. Maybe you should've pulled the shirt down a tiny bit to see some of the details behind. GMV
Re: Smoky Mountains
MJ, I love this. The smoke looks great and the over all color scheme really stands out. Great job!
If this doesn't win, I will be a very sad panda

I agree with this post, except for Lost Souls Cavern. I'm not a fan of most skull designs, partially hidden or otherwise.
This shirt is great! There is something about bears operating motor vehicles that just speaks to me.

This is the time I thank cwarrington for creating ShirtDerbyStats.com. This is quite possibly the only reason I use his site now (because, I've learned to not trust the vote predictions at the site).
Nitro, Click Here for Patrickspens' initial design. You'll also see he removed it twice before it was rejected. (he misspelled 'Admission' on the one that ultimately got rejected and before that, he tried to be witty and use no text) Also, he removed two of the 'hobbits' from the entry gate.

This is another great insight into horse psychology from Richard Maxwell. It's amazing how some of the big issues have simple solutions! Fino is a 15 year old, so his spooky response to strange objects is well established. First Richard asks Becky to ride him past an obstacle in order to assess his sensitivity. Then Richard explains the 'three strikes and you're out' rule and points out where we usually go wrong. Nuisance behaviour can easily become dangerous at a competition, or at home. Richard uses 'kidology' to show Fino how to control his emotions better. Softness, praise and release is the key, which can be practised in the safely of your school.

Costa Rican 'miracle' woman was key to John Paul's sainthood
By Philip Pullella
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Floribeth Mora Diaz does not care if people think she is crazy. She is convinced - and so is the Vatican - that she owes her life to a miracle cure because she prayed to the late Pope John Paul.
"I have experienced the mercy of God in my own life and I am grateful," she told a news conference at the Vatican on Thursday explaining what Church investigators believe was a miracle attributed to John Paul's intercession with God.
Pope Francis will elevate John Paul to sainthood in the Roman Catholic Church on Sunday at a ceremony expected to draw more than one million people to the Vatican.
"People can say I am crazy and that's fine. I say I am a holy crazy person because I am healthy now," she said.
Mora, 50, and from Costa Rica, suffered a brain aneurysm in April, 2011. After a series of tests in a hospital, including a brain scan, and after a three-hour operation, doctors gave her the bad news.
"They sent me home and told me I had a month to live and that there was little hope," she said, speaking with tears in her eyes.
She began praying to the late John Paul, to whom she was very devoted and who died six years earlier in 2005.
"I prayed to John Paul and I asked him to tell God that I did not want to die because I love my children and did not want to abandon them," she said. Continued...

Cameron Diaz appeared to confirm rumours of a new relationship with Benji Madden after the two were spotted hand in hand out for a stroll in New York City.
The 41-year-old star of The Other Woman was photographed with Good Charlotte guitarist Benji while grabbing a coffee in West Village in the Big Apple.
A source close to Diaz told People magazine that "The relationship sort of hit Cameron out of nowhere. "She's always been open-minded when it comes to men. She just wants to have something in common with them and find a personality that loves life and loves as hard as she does."
The pair were apparently introduced by Cameron's friend Nicole Richie, who is married to Benji brother Joel, although The Simple Life star refused to confirm or deny the relationship.
Cameron's latest squeeze is not her first rock star – she's previously dated Jared Leto and Justin Timberlake.
In recent interviews the actress has spoken out about not having children, telling The Telegraph: "If I wanted kids, at any point in life, I would have them… It's not like I'm the spinster who didn't have a child. I just didn't that in life and I'm OK with that."Reuse content

NEXT FAIR: Thursday 26th October 2017
Please help out Town Clerk with a survey on parking issues at Bampton Charter Fair and their impact on the town. You can do this (it only takes a few moments) by clicking - HERE Thanks!
Video of the 2012 Fair - available on YouTube (over 2500 views!) - here.
More Fair Entertainments videos - here
We now on Facebook! Click here:
Probably the most significant addition to the fair in recent years was the return of the famous pony sales which had ended in 1985. Luttrell Farm hosted a collective sale of horses, ponies, fur & feathers, saddlery and tack alongside farm machinery, tools, furniture and collectibles. Sadly this will not be happening in 2014 because the market for pony sales has disappeared, and Lutrell Fram is no longer available for the auction. However, we will have Exmoor ponies for people to come and see.
In addition to the usual fun of the fair we have some amazing live music from steel bands and folk to flamenco. Folk singers and musicians congregate in all the Pubs with local musicians being supported with visitors from Brittany and Ireland and the music continues all weekend.
DVD: Commemorative DVD on the 750 year history of the fair containing archive photographs, film, songs, music and oral memories of the rich traditions and heritage of the fair itself have been compiled - details here.
In March 2005, the Bampton Fair & After the Fair' project reached the last three finalists for projects in the South West of England for a Heritage Award by the National Lottery. We came second - an achievement of which we can be proud because Bampton Charter Fair and 'After the Fair' are run entirely by volunteers and we were up against two County Councils who have many resources and paid-for staff. We are also pleased that the Heritage Lottery Fund has recognised the importance Bampton Charter Fair has within our community and the value of preserving local tradition and heritage for future generations.

Legal Issues
Navigating the complicated maze of self-storage legal issues confounds many self-storage managers and owners. With laws and regulations in constant flux, keeping up-to-date with the legal issues surrounding a self-storage business is paramount to its survival. Today's self-storage managers and owners must deal with a number of legal challenges including lien sales and auctions, abandonment of goods and documents, changes in state legislation, tenant bankruptcy or death, collections, rental agreement validity, protection of tenant information, and the storage of boats, RVs and other vehicles. Operators must understand the lien-sale process and execute it correctly every time to avoid exposure to litigation. Self-storage associations are continually challenging dated city and state laws regarding lien sales, the notification process and other legal concerns to strengthen operator rights.

What do you love most about time with your husband?
Owner of Special Blessing,Co owner of February 2009 Toddler Group and Admin of More than Moms
There isn't any one particular thing. I love everything about it.
When it's just the two of us especially while we're driving I love that closeness I feel. It's just like when we were dating before all of lifes stresses began. Nothing else matters, it's just the two of us and it doesn't matter where we're going.
I love that after 8 years we still can't get enough of eachother. We have to touch, talk, kiss.. it's amazing to me!
His drive or strive to go above&beyond to be the best at anything!
I love everything about him, he just gives me this calm, secure, happy, loved feeling. Today we just lounged around and napped together. I couldn't have asked for better Saturday with him. :-)
He can't keep his hands off me. Everywhere we go we're laughing and having a good time. He's just freaking awesome :D
Everything! Totally everything! We are bestfriends. Occationally we find ourselves enjoying each others time a bit too much & talk about getting in the car & driving as far away till we run out of gas & live where we land. LOL! We'd never do it but its nice to think about it once n a while.

Take a picture; it'll last longer.
I'm a little late to the party on this one, but Gillian Conoley, I admire your Second Questions for Poetry post, in which you ask: "What is your palette? What colors are most often present in your work? How does color act within your poems?"
I don't know what color my poems are, but I do like trying to decide the color of other people's poems. In addition, when I'm reading a collection, I like to ask myself such questions as:
- What sorts of shapes does this collection suggest?
- If this collection were an animal, what would it be?
- What tactile sensations or textures does this collection call to mind?
- What era does it seem set in?
- What kind of food would it be, if it were one? What kind of flower?
In his Poetics, Aristotle says "The greatest thing by far is to have a command of metaphor. This alone cannot be imparted by another; it is the mark of genius, for to make good metaphors implies an eye for resemblances." To this end, I also like to ask my Reading Poetry students to consider these questions and resemblances in relation to books of contemporary poetry. The way I frame this assignment is by having them make moodboards, an idea given to me by my friend, the poet Elizabeth Hildreth, who works as an instructional designer. Last summer, when I was putting my courses together, I ran my syllabi past her expert eye, and she suggested that I "add an opportunity for people who are stronger visually," because in their early drafts my courses advantaged students who are stronger at reading and writing. "Which duh," Liz continued, "it's a reading/writing course […] but MAYBE just maybe like instead of saying students can do a summary, maybe they do […] some sort of "mood board" that illustrates their feelings […] And it makes the read/write people be like, WTF, what does this mean? MOOD BOARD. How ridiculous! It expands their minds either way."
Admittedly, at first, I too was one of the people in the WTF camp. I thought of Joan Didion's essay "Why I Write," in which she says, "All I know about grammar is its infinite power. To shift the structure of a sentence alters the meaning of that sentence, as definitely and inexplicably as the position of a camera alters the meaning of the object being photographed. Many people know about camera angles now, but not so many people know about sentences. The arrangement of the words matters, and the arrangement you want can be found in the picture in your mind."
I liked Liz's idea, but worried that somehow I'd be letting the visual "win" at the expense of the verbal — letting camera angles triumph when I should be focusing on sentences. But Liz convinced me with her argument that "sometimes the best way to talk about writing is through another art form, too."
Thus, one component of my students' final presentations is that they partner up and make a mood board that illustrates the tones and sensations evoked by a collection of contemporary poetry. We've only done this assignment once so far — though we'll do it again this quarter — but the results have been impressive, like this one responding to Berryman's Dream Songs:
And this one responding to Mark Wallace's Nothing Happened and Besides I Wasn't There:
And the one at the top of this post responding to Lyn Hejinian's My Life.
Now I feel sort of silly for ever doubting Liz's wisdom. Because poetry, of course, is already intrinsically visual, and tends to function at the limits of what language can do. Therefore it makes sense to consider poems in ways that are not exclusively verbal, like how Frank O'Hara considers in "Why I Am Not a Painter":
One day I am thinking of
a color: orange. I write a line
about orange. Pretty soon it is a
whole page of words, not lines.
Then another page. There should be
so much more, not of orange, of
words, of how terrible orange is
and life…
Unrelated p.s. To Amber Tamblyn: thanks for your latest post and for the back and forth convo. So often, it can be difficult to talk about identity issues at all, let alone in a cordial fashion, let alone with B.I.G references and proposals for highly competitive new literary journals. These days, when so much of what passes for "discourse" can be anything but civil, it's been awesome to have a discussion here in a public forum that's been substantive and friendly. So AmTam (Can I call you that? Do you hate that? I hope you don't hate that.), thank you for being a friend.

Hooked on NHM Sketching
Pentel Brush-Pen sketches from a some recent excursions to the Los Angeles and Santa Barbara Natural History Museums.
I would really like to take a couple weeks and tour great Natural History Museums around the US and just draw until my fingers fall off. If you have any suggestions for amazing Natural History Museums or Curio shops to visit please post them below! (Emphasis on NHM's within 1000 miles of Los Angeles, but out-of-the-country suggestions are welcome too!)

Holiday Ornaments!
I recently made a batch of holiday ornaments; beetles, bees, various woodland critters, and a boatload of cicadas! Six are for sale (100$ /ea) through Flower Pepper Gallery in Pasadena. (Update: bee and one cicada sold, another on hold. Two cicadas and a beetle available.) If you are interested in purchasing one, please contact the gallery directly at:
Flower Pepper Gallery
Here are the six ornaments at the gallery:
Process shot, painting and attaching wings:
A large group shot of all the ornaments I made in this batch:
The bodies are sculpted from sculpey (polymer-based oven-bake clay) and then painted gold and individually detailed with acrylic paint. The wings are frosted acetate with linework on the front and acrylic spot-painted on the back for diffused color. They were sprayed with a combination of matte and gloss varnishes to ensure their integrity and so they can withstand the elements. The notes attached to them are written on limestone paper which is waterproof.
(I left one such ornament in the forests of Big Sur for 6 months and it was still in amazing condition when I re-found it!)
Happy new years everyone!

The Stars And Styles Aligned At The 3rd Annual Essence Street Style Block Party #EssenceStyle #adSeptember 13th, 2016 by Christen
Disclosure: This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of ESSENCE Magazine & ESSENCE Street Style Block Party. The opinions and experiences expressed below are all mine.
It's been three years since ESSENCE Magazine has disrupted what street style means to everyday people in NYC. Throughout the course of three short years, celebrity style icons, stylists, fierce fashionistas and beyond descend upon DUMBO in Brooklyn for the fashion and style party of the year. New York Fashion Week is known for the style cascading down the runways, but those that are in the know, knows the real creativity and fierce fashion takes place on the streets of NYC.
ESSENCE Magazine's Julee Wilson and Kelly Rowland.
In addition to celebrating real women with real style, the ESSENCE Street Style Block Party transformed the DUMBO Archway under the Manhattan Bridge in Brooklyn into a summer street festival for all things fierce, fashionable and FUN!
ESSENCE'S 2016 Street Style Awards honored stylish bloggers, designers, stylists and celebrity trendsetters. This year's stylish honorees included:
Kelly Rowland – ESSENCE Street Style Closet Crush Award
Khadija Shari – ESSENCE Street Style Curator of Cool
Zendaya and ESSENCE Street Style Disruptor honoree Law Roach.
Law Roach – ESSENCE Street Style Style Disruptor Award presented by Zendaya
Blake Von D – ESSENCE Street Style Chevy Street Style Maven
Romeo Hunte – ESSENCE Street Style Designer To Watch Award
The ESSENCE Street Style Block Party driven by partners SheaMoisture and Chevrolet was the epicenter of stylish inspiration. Chevy kept the block party rocking with a silent disco and included a chance to get to know and get inspired by creatives who are fueling their passions in art, fashion and music.
Chevy's Fuel Your Hustle Silent Disco
Artist Jade 1911 will create original artwork inspired by the Chevy Cruze
The SheaMoisture team was all about the preserving the beauty and style, as stylists tamed tresses, refreshed curls and supplied plenty of tips & tricks for preserving natural hair care and beyond.
The runway show showcasing the best of street style hosted by Naturi Naughton was great inspiration for on site shopping and ESSENCE made it easy with local vendors and designers selling exclusive accessories, fashions and more via the Street Style Shops.
Of course no block party is complete without great foods and drinks and the Essence Eats curated local food truck experience and custom Caribbean-inspired pineapple drinks made the ESSENCE Street Style Block Party the perfect celebration of sights, sounds and styles and tastes of a unique New York Fashion Week experience and beyond.

You've waited all summer, and now the Lyons are loose! Luscious, Cookie, Jamal, Hakeem and Andre are back at it again and season two promises to be filled with more excitement than ever before. Empire Season Two is just around the corner and thanks to Lincoln Motor Company, select vips, fans and journalists got the chance to experience the EMPIRE Season Two Premiere in NYC.
Cast members Taraji P. Henson, Terrance Howard, Jussie Smolett and more graced the stage inside NYC's illustrious Carnegie Hall where guests were treated to an exclusive sneak peek at EMPIRE Season Two premiere episode on the big screen. Following the screening, Director Lee Daniels and the entire cast spoke about character development and just how they landed the role of their dreams on the Fox hit show!
Of course an EMPIRE NYC Premiere party wouldn't be the same without a huge musical performance of "You're So Beautiful…" by Jussie Smolett and Yazz. With major star power, music and more. This season promises to be the biggest yet!
Also this season, Lincoln's latest lineup of vehicles will be integrated throughout the show including the all-new Lincoln MKX, which will be featured in Episode 6 airing early-mid November.
Lincoln has a longstanding relationship with Fox and has extended that partnership with EMPIRE for a second season in a row as automotive exclusive sponsor.

Check out more exclusive photos from the celebrity-studded EMPIRE NYC premiere below.
EMPIRE returns Wednesday, September 23rd 9/8c on FOX – Are you ready?
.@SamsungMobileUS Is Unveiling The Newest Galaxy Device Next Month In NYCJuly 28th, 2015 by Tech Staff
Samsung will unveil the latest version of its Galaxy Note phablet series and maybe a few more additions to the Galaxy family on August 13th.
Unpacked 2015 will kick off next month, taking place at the Lincoln Center in New York. Samsung Mobile has traditionally shown off its newest Galaxy Note models in September, with the devices going on sale later that month, but it looks to be moving things up in the schedule to gain a first mover advantage over Apple — which finally moved into the phablet segment when it launched the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6+ last year — as rumors had earlier suggested.
Beyond the newest Galaxy Note, Samsung could well shell out a larger version of the curvy Galaxy S6 Edge — which is tentatively know as the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, according to some fairly extensive leaked photos. Which could prove that Samsung is going all out to dominate the larger smartphone segment, I mean, they are the originators of selling the successful phablet to the masses, remember?
Not in NYC? You can still be apart of all the action, @DivasandDorks will be in the building sharing all the announcements and first hand looks live on Periscope. You will also be able to tune in to the August 13 event via Samsung Mobile's YouTube channel too.
Infused Art and Sound Found At The Inseparable Soundwall Experience in NYCAugust 13th, 2014 by Christen
If you're looking for an unforgettable experience that stimulates your sense of sight and sound, why not check out the "Inseparable: Soundwall Experience" in NYC. "Inseparable: The Soundwall Experience" is a hybrid art, music and tech series featuring artist collaborations, exhibitions and events that seamlessly integrate art and music like never before. The summer group exhibition in partnership with Soundall reaffirms music and visual art as inseparable forms of expression. Soundwall is customized, hand-crafted, framed artwork that hangs on the wall and plays music wirelessly. Using the Soundwall technology as a channel to explore the bond between sound and sight, each artist was asked to curate a song paired to their visual work.
Recently I got the opportunity to explore "Inseparable: The Soundwall Experience" for myself and discover the artistry of Ricky Aiello Jr. (son of famed actor Danny Aiello), Bradley Theodore (artist behind the infamous Anna and Karl NYC mural), Fab 5 Freddy and more. The instillation of art and sound was an experience that went beyond the initial senses. It was interesting to learn the stories behind the artwork as well as how music played an integral role in the creation of some of the pieces on display. Apparently Soundwall pieces are the next big thing in heightening the art and entertainment experience. Curated by Laura O'Reilly of Wallplay and Mike Namer, Founder of Gallery 151, "Inseparable: The Soundwall Experience" can be viewed at Gallery 151 – 131 W. 18th Street in New York. For more information online visit gallery151.com and experience.soundwall.co.

Interactive Kiosks Coming to NYC SubwaysMarch 22nd, 2013 by Analie
After living in New York for so long I've grown used to the MTA. Not the most reliable form of transportation, but the one we must deal with. Throughout the years, trains have been upgraded with LCD screens the list the next stop and the direction it is heading in. Not all trains have been upgraded (waiting for the 7 train upgrade). We also have seen a recent increase in MTA vending machines. But what is the next MTA upgrade? Interactive Kiosks.
The subway maps. Yes the NYC MTA subway maps will be seeing a very much needed refresh. With the help of the Control Group, the subway maps will become interactive. By the end of 2013, there will be 90 touch-screen kiosks installed in popular stations. These On The Go Interactive Wayfinding Kiosks will provide valuable travel information.
What Information Will the Interactive Kiosks Provide?
"The new On The Go interactive HD displays will deliver real-time information, including simple visual station directions with transfers and line alerts, countdown to train arrival, relevant service updates, and a digital content loop. Up to 90 new installations will be placed at top New York City subway stations that service more than 4 million riders each day." – Control Group
Think of what this could mean. Hopefully it means current information being updated in real-time. If you can't access your Google Maps underground, you can check transfer options and directions underground. Of course you'll see advertisements. They are hoping to bring in more revenue (hopefully no more fare hikes!)
How Will The Interactive Kiosks Work?
The waterproof (sanitation is a priority here) screens will be 47 inches and can operate in temperatures of up to 200 degrees. With touch interaction, tapping a destination on the map will give you a route to get there. The information will be provided by MTA approved third-party apps. Later on it will also provide wi-fi access and nearby destinations. If microphones are installed there's a possibility of two-way communication with an MTA employee. They are even hinting at subway networking where you connect with other passengers and play smartphone games.
In an ideal world, these real time updates and interactive kiosks will be great. It will diminish train delays and hopefully will prevent you from getting lost. Are you ready for next generation transit?
Do you think the MTA is ready for such an upgrade? What can go right with this? Wrong? Do you think there are other things the MTA should repair or are the subway maps in desperate need of repair?
Vanessa Williams, Cicely Tyson on the Broadway Play The Trip to BountifulMarch 14th, 2013 by Simone
The Trip to Bountiful, originally released in 1953 as a teleplay on NBC, has now been revived featuring an all Black cast. This April The Trip to Bountiful will be taking a trip to Broadway, starring Emmy winner Cicely Tyson, Academy Award winner Cuba Gooding Jr. ("Jerry Maguire," "Red Tails"), Emmy Award nominee Vanessa Williams ("Ugly Betty," "Desperate Housewives"), and Tony Award nominee Condola Rashad (Lifetime's "Steel Magnolias," Broadway's Stick Fly).
This amazing story is about Carrie (Cicely Tyson) who lives in a cramped apartment with her son and daughter-in-law and wants to make one last trip home to Bountiful, Texas. Carrie's son (Cuba Gooding Jr.) doesn't think his elderly mother is strong enough to make the trip and her daughter-in-law (Vanessa Williams) doesn't care for her very much, often making her feel like an imposition. However, her motive for not supporting the trip is based on the issue that she is surviving off of Carrie's pension check. When Carrie escapes to make the trip home it sets an adventure in motion that has its serious and comedic moments, leaving you with a different prospective of the concept "home".
All of the stars including director Michael Wilson and Hallie Foote, the daughter of the playwright as well as executor of his estate, gathered at Sardi's Restaurant in New York City to talk to the press face to face about the production. We got some face time with the divas of the show including Cicely Tyson, Vanessa Williams and Condola Rashad as they shared their favorite moments and talked about their roles in the play!
Up first, the youngest member of the cast but not the least talented by far, Condola Rashad. In The Trip to Bountiful, Rashad plays the part of Thelma, better known as the "girl on the bus". Rashad's character meets Carrie as she is on her journey home- two women of contrasting ages going on two separate journeys. However, in the time that they sit next to each other on the bus they form a brief yet remarkable bond. That bond seems to continue even off stage when Rashad and Tyson are not in character.
"Cicely reinforces everything I have grown to know [about acting]. As long as you are honest and in the moment it will work," says Rashad. When looking at the way that her character interacts with Tyson's she doesn't think she differs from her character in real life. "My character treated her as an adult. When I was a teenager and I would volunteer at nursing homes, I was respectful of people of a certain age not only just because of their age but in the way that allows them to have their freedom and decide what they want to do. My character doesn't limit Carrie, she respects her journey."
Cicely Tyson has not been on a Broadway stage since 1983 in her role for The Corn is Green, yet the iconic actress is the recipient of countless awards and is a living legend in her field. Sitting across from Tyson, her demeanor was calm and collected. You could feel the warmth of her spirit but there was also an air of regality that surrounded her.
When asked what she did to prepare for the role Tyson shared her approach to playing this character. "I went to Texas because I wanted to know what was it about this place that this woman needed to go back to. You cannot project anything about anybody unless you know their culture. You have to smell, feel, taste and breathe in order for you to honestly project that character. My method has always been to go where that person stems from."
Tyson also speaks to the lesson about the way we treat and view our elders, which flows through the undercurrent of every interaction in this production. "One of the things that touches me about this character is that she is an elder and today there is such little respect for the elderly. They are tossed aside and put in a home and disregarded by family members and/ or close friends. I want the audience to leave with a greater appreciation of what we have to offer." In essence, this is a role that Tyson always wanted to play. In an admiration for the movie adaption of the teleplay, Tyson told her agent immediately "to get me my Trip to Bountiful." She was referring to one last great role which turned out to be none other than a role in this production. When talking about the kismet way in which she was led to this role Tyson jokingly says, "Be careful what you ask for, because you will get it."
Vanessa Williams' most recent stint was on the show 666 Park Avenue, which was unfortunately short lived. Not long after, however, she found out that she was not going to continue the run on the small screen after she'd gotten the call that she will be getting a chance to show off her skills yet again on the big stage. Her character Jessie Mae makes no effort to hide her annoyance with her mother-in-law Carrie, thus there is a constant conflict between them. As Williams puts it "Mother Watts relishes the past. Jessie May loves the city. She couldn't care less about the past. The past is too painful. Jessie may is forward in terms of her process and her intention. Mother Watts is always going back. Jessie Mae thinks that acknowledging the past is morbid. Mother Watts thinks that not acknowledging the past is unfeeling. Who's right who's wrong?"
When asked about what it was like to work with Tyson, Williams referenced a time when she was just a child watching Tyson playing Jane Pittman on television "Now we get to share a stage," she says. "I'm living my dream." Of course it can be surreal to work with someone you look up to. Williams adds, "I kind of have an out of body experience when I'm arguing with Cicely Tyson while we're character." Because we are proud to be divas, I couldn't help but ask Williams how she felt about the extravagant diva qualities of her character. Her reply was that in comparison to the other characters she has played including Wilhelmina on Ugly Betty, she sees Jessie Mae as more of a wannabe. "Wilhelmina was a Diva. Jessie Mae aspires to be a diva. She is always reading her movie magazines and trying to do the hairstyles she sees in them." In response to being often cast as the in the roles of the headstrong diva, Williams says, "The characters may not always be likable but they are interesting."
From talking one on one with each of these women, you could feel the strong connection each of them had to the overall meaning of the story in The Trip to Bountiful. From the passion they each had in the telling of the story it is clear that they will bring the same exuberance to each of their roles on the stage. This is a play that holds relevance to anyone regardless of background or age and is definitely a must-see!
Previews for The Trip to Bountiful begin on March 30 and will officially open April 23, running for a 14- week engagement at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre, located at 124 W. 43rd St. Tickets range from $37 to $142 and are currently available on Telecharge.com.
New Year's Fashionable ResolutionsJanuary 3rd, 2013 by Fashion Staff
We've officially survived the Mayan Armageddon, yet another presidential election and a handful of fashion weeks the world over. But when it comes to our closets, have we really moved forward? The internet is full of New Year's Eve fashion resolutions, but we wanted to take a more local approach to discover what our readers were really thinking. We scoured the streets of New York City to find out what style habits its citizens want to break, change, or start in the name of the New Year and you'll never guess what resolution admissions they revealed.
Here's hoping that that their experiments in aesthetic evolution might influence some stylish science of your own!

The Divas & Dorks Guide to Making A Fashion Resolution of Your Own:
1. Make it fit your life now, not 12 months ago.
Take a second to look at how your day-to-day schedule, commitments, personality, relationships, work life, down time, and general lifestyle have changed over the past year. Then look at your wardrobe— does the tone of your personal style match that of your personal attitude (i.e. bolder color palette for a bold personality, more tailored/body-conscious pieces for a more confident body perception, etc.)? If not, pinpoint where it's going wrong, and reconstruct it to reflect the current you— or, on the flipside, the you who you'd like to be in the New Year.
2. Make sure it's doable.
DO NOT, we repeat, do not aspire to spend insane amounts of money or to rack up ridiculous credit card bills in the pursuit of your fashion revolution resolution. Do what the real fashionistas do— emulate design, not etymology. Rather than getting hung up on labels, make a pros-and-cons list of what you love about your favorite designers' designs, and scour your favorite stores for their more-affordable incarnations. Allow yourself to invest big bucks on one piece that simultaneously captures your new attitude and straddles fashion borders (i.e. day-to-night or work-to-downtime).
3. Commit to the change.
Don't be afraid to break your former fashion cycles. Trust that those who love you will welcome your fashion attitude as a reflection of a new and better you on the inside— that the change in your style cycles reflects a renewed sense of confidence and a reinvestment in self.
Do you have unique fashion resolutions for the new year? What are they? (Share your ideas below…)

Hanging Up on Payphones
Long a staple of the New York streetscape, public payphones will likely soon be replaced by as many as 10,000 futuristic-looking communications kiosks. In a Request for Proposals issued Thursday, the city spelled out the its requirements for the payphone's replacement.
These kiosks will be required to provide a free wireless internet signal, strong enough to carry 85 feet in all directions. They'll also provide ordinary phone and 911 service.
The current contract for payphones expires in October. The city aims to pick a replacement proposal by the end of the year.
Once the kiosks are installed, the city expects to earn more than $17 million dollars a year from the contract.
This initiative began with the Bloomberg administration. But it's been embraced by Mayor Bill de Blasio as part of his effort to spread access to high speed internet.

Join PayPal and Gigya at Paypal X Innovate 2010 for the Future of Social Identity and Payments [DISCOUNT CODE]
Please join Gigya at the upcoming PayPal X Developer Conference on October 26-27 at Moscone Center, San Francisco. PayPal X is the first truly open global payments platform. Whether you're building the next innovative ecommerce site, mobile app, social network, game or other digital goods experience you'll want to check out the only developer conference dedicated to payments.
eCommerce is the next frontier for "social login," the term Gigya coined (discussed by Jeremiah Owyang in his recent post) for enabling customers and site visitors to sign-in or register using an existing and trusted identity from Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, or any one of many other social providers.
Social identity is becoming the foundation for the most powerful tools available to retailers and other businesses online – from streamlined payments to frictionless sharing to social shopping and community features. Customers and potential customers who connect to a business using an existing social identity create the basis for a deeper relationship and a higher "LCV" or lifetime customer value. Gigya's recent market research "Social Login and the Bottom Line" found that the majority of leading retailers have implemented or plan to implement a social login solution in the next 12 months, and highlights the benefits that leading retailers believe are both important and achievable.
The PayPal X Developer Conference is shaping up to be a great collaboration among industry developers and visionaries. Keynotes by Marc Andreessen, Tim O'Reilly, John Donahoe and Scott Thompson, plus discussions led by Kara Swisher, will be setting a new vision for innovation and commerce. 48+ developer-led tech sessions will include code samples. PayPal is also set to make some major new announcements.
Join Gigya's representatives and be part of defining the future of money. Friends of Gigya can use discount code INNOVATE4U and get $100 off the regular registration price of $249. Register now at https://www.x.com/innovate.

Kingsmen Split, Earn Series Victory
Cal Lutheran splits with Chapman Saturday afternoon
ORANGE, Calif. – For the second straight weekend, the Cal Lutheran baseball team split its Saturday doubleheader while earning the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) series victory. The Kingsmen defeated Chapman 7-3 in game one but could not complete the sweep, falling to the Panthers in game two 9-6 Saturday afternoon at Hart Park.
After surrendering a run in the bottom of the first, Cal Lutheran got its first runs of the day in the second inning when Jake Petersen and Spencer DuBois came home on a two-run single from Garrett Smith.
CLU starting pitcher Tyler Hebda (1-1) settled in after the first, pitching four shutout innings and allowing the Kingsmen to continue to build their lead.
Nick DeLorenzo led off the top of the fourth with a double down the right field line and later scored on an RBI single from DuBois, putting CLU up 3-1.
Chapman countered in the next inning with two runs on three hits to even the score at 3-3. CLU avoided any further trouble when Aaron Roth (2-1) came on in relief of Hebda and got Eddie Aguayo to line out with runners on first and third for the final out of the inning.
The Kingsmen finally broke the game open in the top of the seventh when Ronnie Burton scored on an RBI double off the bat of Nick Boggan. Petersen followed that with a sacrifice fly that drove in Nicho DellaValle and pushed the CLU lead to 5-3.
Cal Lutheran pushed across two insurance runs in the top of the ninth after Petersen again drove in DellaValle, this time with an RBI single. The Kingsmen got their final run of the game when Boggan came home on a passed ball.
Roth did not allow a Panther hit of the final two innings as he secured the victory for CLU and earned his second win of the year.
DellaValle and DeLorenzo led CLU offensively with two hits apiece while Petersen had an RBI for the third straight game.
Hebda went 5.1 innings giving up three runs on nine hits while Roth pitched the final 3.2 innings and only allowed one Chapman hit.
Game two saw Chapman score six runs in the bottom of the second and held on over the next seven innings to salvage a game in the series.
The Panthers scored two runs in the bottom of the first before Mark Saatzer lined a two-run single into right field to put CU up 4-1. Chapman added on its lead three batters later when Andrew Carbajal ripped a ball into the right- center gap, good for a two-RBI double.
The Kingsmen followed the big inning by Chapman with a five-run inning of their own in the top of the third. Following a double-play, Boggan homered for the fifth time in six games when he hit a towering shot over the right field fence. Following the homerun, Cal Lutheran laced together five consecutive singles with C.J. Picerni scoring two with his base-hit. Smith capped the inning with an RBI single that brought Cal Lutheran to within two at 8-6.
However that was the end of the scoring for CLU as Chapman relief pitcher Taber Watson (2-1) came on pitched the final 6.1 innings while allowing just four hits and striking out eight batters.
With Boggan's homerun in the third, the senior pushed his SCIAC-leading total to six and extended his hit-streak to nine games. DellaValle's 2-for-4 performance marked the seventh straight game the junior had at least two hits. DeLorenzo, Petersen, and Smith also had two hits in the finale.
Cal Lutheran (7-4-1, 4-2 SCIAC) resumes action Friday, March 8, when they travel to Redlands to take on the Bulldogs for a three-game series. First pitch for game one is set for 2:30 p.m.

The riverfront near Leeds city centre is beautiful and with excellent cycle lanes it's really easy and safe to get around on your bike
Why Leeds?
Leeds is a very grand city. There are two big universities, one of which is central and has campuses spread throughout the city. It has a fantastic shopping area with a good mix of high street and designer shops, as well as loads of restaurants, bars and theatres/concert halls, which attract big names. Headingly is particularly good fun, and also a good place to live as it's reasonably residential and quiet, and only 5 minutes from the city centre. Leeds is great for rugby fans. There is a big park close to the centre as well as a cricket club and a fantastic Olympic swimming pool. The riverfront near the city centre is beautiful and really nice to walk along. It's worth mentioning the cycle lanes are excellent so it feels really easy and safe to get around on your bike.
Where is Leeds?
Leeds is in the heart of West Yorkshire, close to York and the Yorkshire dales.
Are there any other grads working from this office?
There are a few grads from each year's intake working at the Leeds office.
Is it easy to travel and park?
The office is quite central and the office has its own car park, and it's also close to Leeds train station.
If I move to the area, where are the best places to live?
There are lots of options if you want to live close to the city centre, or move to the outskirts and travel in. Headingly is a great option if you are looking for a quiet place to live but still being close to the centre.
What are the options for lunch?
Anything you like as it's so centrally located.

was my paint shaken enough?
Bought a gallon of gray at SW today. This is Harmony. I've painted my entire house with SW Super paint, using 5 different colors and never had this happen before.
When I opened the gray and poured some into a pan there were a few black streaks. Black was one of the tints. This gray is no darker than other shades I've used. Just a different color.
I have to go back tomorrow for a new roller so might take the remainder of the paint to be shaken again.
Probably not shaken enough. I had one one time that wasn't shaken at all, tints just floating. I had another on a multiple gallon order that was labeled but never shot at all. It happens. It could also have been a tinting mistake, like maybe the wrong base if it's bad enough. Once a base is saturated, meaning it's at its max tinting level, it will no longer absorb tint and the excess will simply end up swirling around perpetually. Colors that approach max tint level for the base will usually reflect a little swirl but not enough to make a difference. Take it back and ask them to shake it again, longer this time.
They usually send you out the door with a wooden stir stick. Use it.
Everytime I pop a can I give it a stir. Every .Time.
I bought two of these, one for a 5 gal. and a smaller one for a 1 gal. bucket.
Amazing how it works, it draws all the paint from the bottom to the top of the can super fast for a total remix.
I've never used a paint stick since I bought them. Far faster.
Was the paint shaken up to begin with? If so, what you're describing is probably not due to the paint non being shaken up enough...What you're most likely experiencing is a not-so-uncommon phenomena called "synoreces" (and, yes, I'm sure that was spelled wrong). New formulations of paint necessary to gain VOC compliancy has resulted in a series of unintended consequences in the behavior of paint. One of the consequences of removing specific solvents (even from latex paints) results in a resin that begins to cure with even nominal exposure to air - even the amount of air between the level of paint in a can and the can lid.
Without these specific solvents to retard the resins want to cure, new, slower drying, exempt solvents have been added to the product to serve no other purpose than to "float" to the surface and act as a barrier to the layer of air in the can. This solvent float is clear, but will attract glycol, containing traces of tinting colorants, and appear on the surface most often as a black, gray, silver (etc) "stain"...
This "float" may begin within minutes, to a few hours, after paint has been shaken and is perfectly harmless to the product. It mixes back into the paint easily, or may be poured off before painting. To take the can back to SW to shake won't hurt anything, but it won't stop the process from happening again, though. Good luck and happy painting.
ric, that was interesting and made sense. Harmony is a lower VOC so I do believe it.
joe, that's a good idea on the stirrer.
Great! I say just pull out the stick and stir- ric says why to do that!
And joe says how to over do that!!
All is right with the world!
Hummmm, cheap drill, $45, paint stirring attachment,$4
Stir stick, FREE :whistling2:
but it took 1 whole tree to make that 1 paint stick! think of the environment!!!
Not exactly on topic----but always 'box' your paint---
Box?---When you get multiple gallons for a room, dump them all into a clean bucket and stir them all together---
This will help you avoid the heartbreaking situation that occurs when the last gallon is noticably off color---and you have to repaint the entire room----
Every experienced painter I know has a story like that-----
I've heard to always stir but admit I didn't this time. Lesson learned.
ol'Mike, as a novice painter I'm not sure if I'll run out of paint or not. But I do try to stop painting at a certain area, like foyer or short wall, and do the entire section with new paint and not just stop and start in the middle of a big wall. Thanks for explaining what 'boxing' was.
I can't believe I'm almost finished with this 1,430 sf house. Except for some trim, 6 doors, porch ceiling and mst bath, which I'll do at a slower pace.
If you plan to use the paint and primer in one as a primer, always stir counter-clockwise. Paint should always be stirred, no matter how much it is shaken, in a clockwise direction.
If you are South of the equator reverse this.
sds, does the equator really affect direction of stirring or are you pulling my leg?

Union Pacific Reports 4Q Net Income of $1.2 Billion, Up From $1 Billion in 4Q 2012
Date Posted: January 24, 2014
Omaha, NE—Union Pacific Corporation (NYSE: UNP) reported Jan. 23 net income of $1.2 billion, or $2.55 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter 2013 compared to $1 billion, or $2.19 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter 2012.
"For the first time in six quarters, we reported overall volume growth, despite significantly weaker coal shipments.
"It highlights the strength of our diverse franchise, the extensive network reach we have to various markets, and a strong grain harvest," said Jack Koraleski, Union Pacific chief executive officer.
"Volume growth, combined with solid core pricing gains and our continued focus on safety, service, and efficiency, generated a record fourth quarter operating ratio of 65.0 percent.
"The fourth quarter wrapped up another tremendous year for Union Pacific, with our overall financial performance exceeding all previous milestones."
Fourth Quarter Summary
Operating revenue increased 7 percent in the fourth quarter 2013 to more than $5.6 billion versus $5.25 billion in the fourth quarter 2012. Fourth quarter business volumes, as measured by total revenue carloads, grew 2 percent compared to 2012.
Volume growth from agricultural products, automotive, industrial products and intermodal shipments more than offset declines in coal and chemical volumes.
For the full year 2013, Union Pacific reported net income of $4.4 billion or $9.42 per diluted share.
This compares to $3.9 billion or $8.27 per diluted share in 2012, 11 and 14 percent increases, respectively.
Operating revenue totaled a record $21.96 billion versus $20.9 billion in 2012.
Operating income increased 10 percent to more than $7.4 billion, up from $6.7 billion in 2012.
2014 Outlook
"As we look at 2014, we see signs that the economy is slowly strengthening.
"We're well-positioned for economic growth and are confident in our ability to deliver on our customers' growing transportation needs," Koraleski said.
"We'll continue our unrelenting focus on both safety and service to our customers. We strongly believe in the power and potential of the Union Pacific franchise to drive even greater financial performance and shareholder returns in the years to come."

Costume Information
|Cost :
|Time Taken :
|1 hour 1/2
|After making the green and black version of Ritsuka, and realising how HOT it was, I decided that if I was going to join Sian and Raine in the Loveless cosplay, I should make a cooler version of Ritsuka to wear.
After sifting through some of the artbook illustrations, I found a cute outfit that I basically had in my cupboard. I made a few alterations for accuracy's sake and then wore it to the Cosplay Scotland July 07 meet-up.
For Amecon, I dyed the overalls to be a bit darker/turqoise, I added studs to the belt and painted the buckle to how it is in the artwork, I got a new wig and I changed the position of my tail (which isn't really noticable except from behind).
By the way- I haven't seen ANY of the Amecon photos of this costume... PLEASE send them to me if you have them!
A big thank you goes to Redkun of CosplaySnap who took all these photos at the CS July 07 meet. ^^
love the kitty ears they suit you sooo much!
also just looked thru the pics of your costumes, it soo cute, almost like watcking u get older, (love it, keep it up)
You're actually right about me getting older, because I uploaded my costumes in chronological order of when I made and wore them. Thanks for the lovely comment! ^_^
Cute! ^_^

An event held at the India Habitat Centre here felicitated 25 "inspirational women" as "People of the Year".
The women honoured included Olympic medal-winning boxer M.C. Mary Kom, artist Arpana Caur, human rights activist Anjali Gopalan, actress Waheeda Rehman and Planning Commission member Syeda Hameed.
The Dec 16, 2012, gangrape victim was also remembered.
"I believe the biggest challenge women face is that of equality and an entrenched culture of discrimination. Society needs to work together to fight the stigmas and create an equal opportunity environment. I dedicate this award to the millions of women fighting these stigmas on a daily basis," Gopalan said.
The women were chosen by an independent panel comprising eminent journalist H.K. Dua, former High Court chief justice Leila Seth, and Barsha Poricha, programme director of the National Foundation for India.
The launch also marked the silver jubilee of the Limca Book of Records.
