WATCH: Kim Kardashian wipes out skiing
Kim Kardashian may have mastered the red carpet, but the reality star's skiing could use some practice.
On Tuesday, Scott Disick posted a Keek video showing Kim and Kourtney Kardashian attempting — and failing — some tricks on the slopes in Park City, Utah.
First, Kourtney successfully skis through Kim's legs, but when Kim tries to do the trick, she completely wipes out on the mountain.
"I did it perfectly two other times!" she says while lying in the snow.
Check out the video below!

After the success of its predecessor, the advent of the 2010 Toyota Prius created a lot of expectations. But instead of incorporating sought-after features such as a lithium ion battery pack or plug-in capability, Toyota opted for incremental changes, tweaking the power train to get more power and better fuel economy.
On the cabin tech side, we expected big advances, as competitors have stepped up the game with such options as external data sources, which provide useful location information, and better compatibility with electronic devices. In this area, the 2010 Prius takes a few steps forward, but not as many as we hoped.
The new Prius model can be had in four trim levels, which Toyota dubs II, III, IV, and V, apparently preferring simple Roman numerals to arcane combinations of S, E, and L. Our test model was the Prius IV, which included navigation, upgraded JBL audio system, Bluetooth phone system, a back-up camera, and, most interestingly, the solar-roof option.
From the outside, the 2010 Prius shows some subtle, but smart, body changes. When spotting the new Prius in the wild, you will want to look for the notched back, a horizontal rear crease that lets the hatchback lip stretch out a little, creating a spoiler effect. Less obvious will be the roofline change, which moves the peak back a few inches for better aero efficiency and to add a little headroom for rear passengers.
Looking inside, Toyota adopted the floating console that Volvo started using a few years ago, creating an airy feeling in the cabin and a little storage space. Strangely, Toyota chose to put the Prius' seat heater controls in that open space, so you'll have to reach down in cold weather. Otherwise, the dashboard is still bare of analog gauges, retaining the monochrome digital strip just below the windshield. The steering wheel has a slightly flattened bottom, something more commonly seen on sports cars.
Hybrid driving
As with the previous version, the 2010 Prius starts out under electric power, creeping forward silently at low speeds and with light acceleration. And light acceleration is all you get with even half throttle applied--the Prius doesn't feel like it wants to move at all, which is one way to save gas. It takes almost full pressure on the accelerator to feel some pull from the front wheel drive, but that also takes the Prius out of electric drive. We found a constant tension while driving the 2010 Prius between playing the maximum mileage game and actually trying to get to a destination.
Initial acceleration may be unsatisfying, but Toyota gave Prius drivers options with the 2010 model in the form of three buttons labeled EV, Eco, and Power. While driving city streets, we tried the EV button, a program designed to maximize the use of the electric drive. The first time, a message on the car's display said our speed, 27 mph, was too high. The second time we tried it, a similar message gave the excuse that the battery was too low. We wondered if the car would cite a headache as the next excuse.
As we expect, Eco mode makes that slow acceleration even worse. But Power mode is tolerable. These modes are merely throttle programs, so a light touch on the accelerator when in Power mode can still produce good mileage. Although we enjoy getting the Prius moving under electric power, in the real world, we found it necessary to stab the accelerator to get moving from a stoplight, engaging both gas engine and electric motor and working toward the peak hybrid system's 134 horsepower. Once up to speed, easing back on the accelerator lets the Prius cruise at speeds of 25 to 30 mph under electric power.
Traffic conditions
Before getting on the freeway, the navigation system shows us the traffic conditions, a new feature for the 2010 Prius. But this unit is still DVD-based, and searching through the points-of-interest database to find a destination takes some lengthy pauses to retrieve information. New, nice-looking graphics indicate the different means of destination entry through the touch-screen LCD, but most of these are locked out while under way.
However, the voice command system does an excellent job of recognizing our inputs, and offers feedback on the LCD showing which commands are available at each step. With route guidance active, the navigation system shows familiar graphics mapping out upcoming turns and which lanes to be in for freeway junctions. We also discover another new feature for the Prius' navigation: it does text-to-speech, reading out the names of streets.
While driving on city streets, we noticed the new Prius still had the wobbly feeling in turns from which its predecessor suffered. On the freeway, the Prius wanders in its lane as wind buffets it around. The steering feels solid, making it easy to control, but it doesn't have that stable road feeling offered by similar midsize cars.
At freeway speeds, we fight to keep the instantaneous fuel economy gauge above 50 mpg while maintaining reasonable freeway speeds of 65 to 70 mph. Toyota has migrated its various power and fuel economy displays to the monochrome instrument screen, from their former placement on the LCD. Although not as graphically rich, it's safer. We find ourselves settling on the Eco screen, which uses a horizontal bar to show how much throttle we are applying.
The Eco screen shows our average fuel economy, but doesn't show range to empty. We have to dig through a few other screens to find that information. You can't get average fuel economy and range to empty on the same screen--an annoyance. These screens are informative, and let you maximize mileage, but they are a far cry from the hybrid instrument display Ford uses in the Mercury Milan Hybrid.

A Comparative Study on the Biofilm Formation of Enterobacter agglomerans and Serretia rubideae in Different Environmental Parameter under Single Culture Condition

Pathogens; Enterobacter agglomearns; Serretia rubidaea; Biofilm; Nosocomial Infection

Vol.4 No.1,
The biofilm formation by two opportunistic pathogens Enterobacter agglomerans and Serretia rubideae on different environmental parameter under single culture condition was compared. Biofilm clone formation unit (CFU) counting revealed that the number of Enterobacter was larger than Serretia after 24-h incubation. Consistent with this result, measurement of crystal violet staining of bacteria attached on the test tubes showed that the absorbance at 600 nm enhanced 2 times in Enterobacter than Serretia under optimum growth condition. Experiments with different environmental conditions such as incubation period, temperature, pH, NaCl concentration (aw) and medium ingredient contents for both organisms were carried out in Luria Bertani (LB) broth. The results indicated that Enterobacter grew well at 37?C after 24 h but Serretia grew well at 27?C after 48-h and 0.5% NaCl concentration was found optimum for both. On the other hand, 0.5% medium content and pH 5 was found optimum for Enterobacter whereas 2% medium content and pH 7 for Serretia.

Keep scrolling to see descriptions on the two products I ues, Picasa and GIMP. Picasa: black and white, highlight and shadow for contrast. GIMP: brighten eyes, teeth, lips and jewelry, darken eye makeup and eyebrows, smooth skin. Also, this particular photo features the Hollywood False Lash kit from ELF!
I am all about photography, if anyone knows me. Unfortunately, I don't own Photoshop and so have been using free software to edit my photos. Below are a few samples of the editing I've done. They're all of me, since I didn't want to show anyone else's "before" photos because (as you'll see) the post-processed photos look 1 million times better than the original. Enjoy and don't make fun of me!
Yuck yuck yuck. I hate that before picture soooo much. Fun-fact: the purple on my eyes was actually done with a flip chart marker. On to the software:
When I take pictures, the first place they go when I put the memory card in my computer is to Picasa. It's from Google, so you definitely don't have to worry about viruses or anything that could (or usually does come) from downloading free software.
You can click on this pic and the next to make them larger. I love Picasa because it really has most of the tools necessary to edit a photo. When I want to take it a step beyond and make changes to a picture as far as drawing on the photo (like highlighting and darkening by hand–i.e., whitening teeth, darkening eye makeup, brightening the whites of the eyes, etc.), I use GIMP. My dad recommended it to me, so it can also be trusted. He works in computer security.
I would highly recommend using these programs (especially Picasa) if you take photos at all, especially if it's any sort of hobby or area of interest. It's really necessary for photo editing to become more known to the masses, beyond just black & white or the one-click effects of Picnik. Don't get me started on Picnik.
Sometime soon, I'll post a portrait photography guide with things I've learned from taking photos since 2006. I actually created it last year for a communications project, but I'm wanting to redo all the photos I took (since they were of a person whom I no longer favor, shall we say).
Keep up-to-date on my new postings by following me on Twitter. You can also contact me through my website here, or send me a message to my Facebook. Thank you!

Brevard, N.C. - Jonathan Whitson, Darin Dellinger and Jacques Dovonou all hit free throws in the waning seconds of overtime and Sam Carlisle scored 14 points and pulled down 18 rebounds as the Tornados opened up the 2009-2010 South Atlantic Conference season with a 58-54 overtime win over Tusculum College in Boshamer Gymnasium on Saturday afternoon.
Carlisle led all scorers with 14 points and his 18 rebounds were also a game-high as Brevard (4-1, 1-0 SAC) pulled down 42 rebounds in the contest. Carlisle was 6-15 from the floor and was joined in double figures by Whitson with 12 points and five rebounds, while Dellinger had 11 points and two steals in 37 minutes playing time.
Wes Taylor and Rob Troutman led the Pioneers (3-4, 0-1 SAC) with 11 points apiece and Josh Bennett scored 10 points on five of seven shooting as Tusculum connected on 50.0 percent (22-44) of their attempts on the evening. Bennett also led the team on the glass with seven rebounds while Justin Steigerwald dished out three assists.
Brevard opened the game by going up 10-4 in the first five minutes as Whitson put in a pair of layups and three other Tornados contributed baskets. Tusculum came back to take their first lead of the contest at the 9:59 mark of the first half at 15-14 after a jumper Rob Troutman. The Pioneers held a narrow lead throughout the remainder of the first half, going up 28-23 on Kyle Moore's jumper in the paint with 1:09 remaining before Nick Gagel's shot from the opposing foul line went in to beat the buzzer giving Tusculum the 31-23 lead as the teams headed to the locker room.
Tusculum retained the lead through most of the second half with their largest lead being eight points which they reached twice, going up 37-29 on Troutman's jumper and 39-31 on Taylor's basket. The Tornados steadily chipped away at the lead, cutting it down to three on a free throw by Carlisle putting the game at 42-39 with 7:43 remaining before Brevard retook the lead after Whitson's jumper from the short left corner put the Tornados up 45-44 with 3:18 to play.
The teams would swap baskets through the remaining three minutes and headed into overtime after Dellinger's free throw with the score at 48-48.
Tusculum took the first lead of the overtime period as Troutman put in a pair of free throws with 3:54 on the clock. Whitson tied the score up a minute and a half later with a pair of his own, before Pioneers' Jimmy Boone's free throws put the visiting team up 52-50 with 2:01 on the clock. A made free throw by Nathan Whitmire cut the lead to one and following a turnover by Boone, Dellinger streaked down the court for a layup to put Brevard up 53-52 with 1:30 remaining.
A foul sent Whitson to the line where the Preseason All-SAC first team selection nailed both attempts to give the Tornados the three point advantage. A layup by Troutman cut the lead back down to one at 55-54 with 25 seconds on the game clock, but Brevard scored the final three points of the contest as Dellinger made a pair of free throws and Dovonou clinched the game with two seconds remaining by knocking down the back-end of his free throws as Brevard continued their home winning streak with the 58-54 win.
The Tornados are back in action on Monday, December 7th, as Brevard will host Lees-McRae in a non-conference matchup in Boshamer Gymnasium. Tipoff for the game between the Tornados and the Bobcats is set for 7 p.m.

Gracie and Cyril: An Oral HistoryBy Emily Greenhouse
Grace Paley was born Gracie Goodside ninety years ago today, and my grandmother still calls her that. My grandmother's parents separated when the Depression hit: her father lost his job, and couldn't countenance his wife, a beautician, the household's only breadwinner. In summer, her mother stuck around the beauty salon, but my grandmother would visit her aunt and uncle in Long Pond, in Mahopac, fifty miles north of the city. Uncle Al was a piano teacher, and one of his students a girl named Grace. Two years older than my grandmother, Cyril, Grace spent the whole summer in Mahopac. Her father, a doctor, built a house there, and he'd bring the family up from their Bronx brownstone, at Hoe Avenue and 172nd Street.
I first picked up Paley after my father's father, Mortimer, died. I hadn't realized she was part of their same world of meetings, but my grandmother told me. My grandmother remembers everything.
Dr. Goodside—Isaac—he had a chauffeur, Saunders. God forbid, you could never use that word. It was a driver. Gracie's father, he came from a large city in Russia, not the Pale of Settlement. They spoke Russian, they did not speak Yiddish. He went to medical school in Italy, and his great pleasure was when the Italian fruit vendor came, you know, with his truck. He'd come once or twice a week, and Dr. Goodside came to talk to him in his broken Italian. Gracie's father, he also was a great fan, a lover, of Victor Hugo—and his son, who became an ophthalmologist, was named Victor. Gracie was the youngest, she must have been at least ten years younger than Jeanne, Jeanne after Jean Valjean. And she was named Grace, and her sister said to me, in Italian, it was Grazie—thanks, thanks. Jeanne told me this when she was already teaching. She was much older, and she was married to a child psychologist, a real son of a b—a child psychologist who hated children. They never had children.
Gracie was unusual, she was extremely bright. Every day she was made to read at least an hour, I think she was made to study Russian. And they had a large house in Mahopac, her parents always encouraged kids to come to the house. Her father was a music lover, and he would invite people over to his house, and play music. He had this phenomenal record player. My Uncle Al, the piano player, was such an SOB—he would say, "I'm not going, he doesn't know anything about music." But that's how I knew Gracie, the lessons. Her parents, they wanted us to come to her house, we went there, we played Monopoly. I would see Gracie almost every day—we would go swimming, we would have a hare and hound race, try not to fall for the false trails the guys set up. And we'd discuss politics and sex and stuff, whatever kids at that age discuss. She was the leader because we always went to her house, and she was the one who had ideas, and who could give advice. Even at that age. Wherever you went to meet, it was always at Gracie's house. All the kids would follow Grace.
The other children—Victor, he was not a talker, and Jeanne, Jeanne was always apologizing. I don't think they ever really answered the father. And their mother was a quiet woman. Gracie was always the one who was really challenging him.

I just have a problem regarding the WiFi in Backtrack. I have a wireless Atheros AR9285 Wifi adapter in my laptop and I ran Backtrack just recently
in dualboot and everything worked. When I changed plans and ran it in VirtualBox I had problems finding the networks like I used to.
I checked the FAQ and it turned out I need some USB-dongle, I guess. So I remembered the HUAWEI USB-modem I got with the same laptop a year ago
or so. Is there any way I can connect my USB-modem as some dongle for wifi connections in VirtualBox? If so, can you tell me how?
Otherwise, I am new to the forums but used Backtrack a while and I think it is great! Keep up the good work.

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- The Lindsey Wilson
College community will hold its annual Veterans Appreciation
Luncheon on Monday, Nov. 12.
This year's speaker will be the Rev. Terry Swan, who is dean of the chapel and a
retired colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve.
The luncheon begins at 11 a.m. CT on Nov. 12, in Roberta D.
Cranmer Dining & Conference Center.
The luncheon is open to veterans and their spouses or a
guest, along with veterans' widows and widowers. There is no charge
to attend the luncheon, but guests are asked to RSVP by contacting
the Lindsey Wilson Alumni Office at email@example.com or (270)
This is the 10th consecutive year Lindsey Wilson has held the
luncheon. The event is sponsored by the Lindsey Wilson National Alumni
Lindsey Wilson started the luncheon in 2003 as part of the
college's centennial celebrations. The annual event is not held on
Veterans Day so that it does not conflict with community
celebrations on that day.
"This is a very small way for the Lindsey Wilson community to
show to those individuals who have served our nation during both
times of peace and during times of war," said LWC Vice President
for Student Services and Enrollment Management Dean Adams, who is an LWC alumnus. "The
luncheon has become one of the more popular events on campus
because faculty, staff and students enjoy taking one day a year to
thank our veterans and their family members."
The Lindsey Wilson College Veterans Appreciation Luncheon
will be held at 11 a.m. CT on Monday, Nov. 12. The luncheon is free
to all veterans, veterans' survivors and a guest. Guests should
RSVP by contacting Lindsey Wilson at email@example.com or (270)

Rogers will kill Walsh and Stapleton will be the winner. Anyone want a bet on it?
Andy Lillis, Former Cagewarriors President
Cant count shay out of this fight, dont think its gonna be a walk in the park for rogers, good test tho.
If Saul handles Shay though then the dude needs to fight a top 10 fighter next definitely.
www.youtube.com/YourMMA for some of the interviews ahead of the tournament - more to come
Looking forward to Saul vs. Shay and Wootten vs. Crawley on the undercard, should be top fights.
This will be an awesome show, gutted I can't make it
Its definately a tough fight for Saul and one what he needs at this stage in his career. Shay is legit and has been in with some good guys but, for me, Saul stops him. Unless you have trained with him you really dont know how good he is. His work eithic is unreal.
You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get
Team Colosseum
Good luck to dougie scott, watch out for him really exciting fighter

This Forum has been archivedVisit the new Forums
|Forums: Index → Narutopedia Discussion → Chapter article images
Because this hasn't been formally discussed: what is the desired purpose of images in chapter articles? The current practice is to only use images when they are separate from the rest of the chapter, be it a color spread or a single B&W page. Admittedly, this is the current practice because it's the one I prefer and so never bothered to upload other images when I made all of the chapter articles. The second option is to upload whatever page the chapter title appears on, which amounts to uploading an image for the purpose of duplicating what is in the first sentence and in the infobox.
This was briefly discussed when chapter articles were being worked on, and I've been citing the "current practice" in edit summaries whenever I remove images that don't fit my preference. Since I am not the center of the universe, what do other prefer? ~SnapperTo 05:14, December 28, 2010 (UTC)

Fifty-one entries to this year's competition vied for the two top awards: The Arthur P. Henricks, Jr. Memorial Award for Best of Show and the Director's Choice Award for the favorite of the Director. In addition there were special trophies for the top three winners in each of the three divisions: Chapters/Councils, Small Clubs and Large Clubs. All of the Honorable Mentions and the Special Highlight Awards received certificates of merit.
Usually, there are three judges for each category with the Chapter/Council and the Small Club divisions judged by the same three judges, who in this instance were Renee Pierce of Baton Rouge, Douglas Wade of Newhall, CA and Rich Bickham of Gary, Illinois. The large club division was judged by Colin Butterworth of Tasmania, Dawn Dingee of Dover Plains, NY, Peter Christoph of Massachusetts, and Joan Field, APSA of Danville, CA. Plaudits to this year's judges for a difficult job well done; the judges' service includes carefully reading each newsletter, scoring it, and offering an extensive written criticism which should be of great help to the newsletter editors. Since this contest costs little time for the entrants and is cost-free to them, it is a sterling example of a win-win situation sponsored by PSA.
The number of newsletters entered this year continues a decline which may be the result of more clubs relying solely on their website. The Director would like to remind those clubs that an active effort is required to visit the website and dig out the material of interest, while being sent a newsletter by email directly gives the member an unmissable way to increase knowledge of club activities.

Six veterans who had left the challenges of active duty military life behind to face new challenges in civilian life recently teamed with students at Auburn University to generate ideas for customized devices that would improve quality of life for themselves and for other veterans with disabilities.
For the sixth consecutive year, industrial design students and rehabilitation students have collaborated to design solutions for the disabled through assistive technology projects. This year, six student teams were each paired with a veteran of the U.S. military who has a disability.
The inspiration to include military veterans in this year's assistive technology project came from Doris Hill, who joined Auburn's Center for Disability Research and Service in 2011 and had retired from a career in the U.S. Army. Hill said as a veteran, she thought the model that was already in place – using a team approach with the assistive technology end user as part of the team – had applications for veterans with disabilities.
The center opened in 2010 and is housed in the College of Education's Department of Special Education, Rehabilitation and Counseling. The Department of Industrial and Graphic Design is in the College of Architecture, Design and Construction.
The partnership between the two departments began with the idea of using assistive technology to improve quality of life for Auburn students with disabilities, later broadened its scope to include the surrounding community and this year expanded even further by asking military veterans to participate.
"Assistive technology is defined as any piece of equipment or device that can improve the quality of life for an individual with a disability and help that person be more independent," said Scott Renner, the center's coordinator for assistive technology.
"Students and veterans worked together to uncover challenges, research each disability and learn what already existed in the marketplace before turning to the job of finding solutions," said Jerrod Windham, an assistant professor of industrial design who directs students in the assistive technology project.
Concepts ranged from simple solutions to complex customizable prosthetics. Some of the devices explored by the teams in this year's project include an assist to move from a wheelchair to a standing position; a prosthetic with a more comfortable socket and greater range of mobility for an active person; a storage compartment to attach to a wheelchair that holds items used on a daily basis and helps the user be more self-sufficient; a portable attachment to aid getting in and out of a tub or shower; a mouth stick to operate electronic devices; and a customized crutch-like device to improve balance.
"With funding through the Auburn University Intramural Grant Program, some of the solutions are beyond the concept phase and are in further development," Windham said. "Over the six-year life of this collaborative project, there are a number of inventions that have directly helped the project volunteers. We also hope, through public and private economic partnerships, these inventions will help others with and without disabilities in the future."
The veterans who participated in this year's project had a range of military service – from two to more than 21 years – and a variety of disabilities.
The Wounded Warrior Program coordinator at Ft. Rucker asked Army veteran Andrew Weissenberger if he'd be interested in participating in the project at Auburn.
"Before he could even finish getting the question out of his mouth, I was committed to it," Weissenberger said. "Because anything that would help the boys coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan – I was all for it."
Weissenberger is in a wheelchair and has leg and spinal injuries and traumatic brain injury.
Marshall "Mac" Nelson is a Vietnam veteran who heard about the program from the director of prosthetics at the Central Alabama Veterans Health Care System. Nelson lost a leg below the knee when he stepped on a land mine. He said he'd been so mobile for so long he wasn't sure there was anything the team could come up with that would be of help, but as they discussed ideas, he saw the benefits for himself but more importantly, for other veterans.
"Like other vets, I think about all of us," he said.

So she gets to the house, and I leave to go buy the TV dinner and then DH (dear husband) meets me outside of his work to get it. He notices the baby is not in the car and asks where she is. I said (completely joking, but in a very serious, non-joking tone) "Oh, she's in bed. I figured it would be okay to just run down here real quick without disturbing her. She never wakes up at night anyway!" I was surprised when DH (dear husband) didn't even flinch. He just said "Oh, okay, well you should probably hurry home then. Thanks for the food, I have to get back to work" gives me a kiss and goes inside.
When I get back home my friend stays and visits for a bit and I tell my friend about my joke and DH's reaction (or lack therof) and she just kind of shrugged it off (she's doesn't have kids), and I said "Would you leave a baby asleep in the bed if she wasn't able to get out of it and you were only going down the street." And she said, "I don't know...but maybe". Like it wasn't a big deal.
So...apparently two people tonight (one being the father of our child, lol) doesn't think this is a big deal, which kind of appalls me, but what do you think: 3 month old baby, sleeps through the night, can't get out of the bed, you're running down the street and will be gone ten minutes. Is your reaction to this the same as my friend and DH's...no big deal?

I've run into a snag when running the peach fuzzer. The python script runs fine when you don't evoke any command line options, but crashes when you attempt to test any of the pits.
For example, when I attempt to test any of the samples that come with peach, it cannot find the module 'psyco'. I've searched my whole BT4 R2 install, and it doesn't exist.
Here's the output:
I am running a pretty vanilla HDD install of BT2 R2 and I did attempt to update the system via apt-get update ; apt-get upgradeCode:root@bt:/pentest/fuzzers/peach# ./peach.py -t samples/HTTP.xml ] Peach 2.2.1 Runtime ] Copyright (c) Michael Eddington Traceback (most recent call last): File "./peach.py", line 251, in <module> from Peach.Engine import * File "/pentest/fuzzers/peach/Peach/__init__.py", line 41, in <module> import Generators, Publishers, Transformers File "/pentest/fuzzers/peach/Peach/Publishers/__init__.py", line 37, in <module> import file, sql, stdout, tcp, udp, com, process, http, icmp, raw, remote File "/pentest/fuzzers/peach/Peach/Publishers/remote.py", line 36, in <module> from Peach.Engine.engine import Engine File "/pentest/fuzzers/peach/Peach/Engine/engine.py", line 755, in <module> from Peach.Engine.parser import * File "/pentest/fuzzers/peach/Peach/Engine/parser.py", line 53, in <module> from Peach.Engine.dom import * File "/pentest/fuzzers/peach/Peach/Engine/dom.py", line 3511, in <module> import psyco ImportError: No module named psyco
I did see another user having this issue in what looked to be an older version of BT4 but the thread seems to just die.
Anyone else seeing this behavior?
Mods: My apologies if this is in the wrong forum. Wasn't sure where to put it.

Est. 2010
Youth Lagoon is the outlet of Boise, Idaho's Trevor Powers' most personal hopes and fears, which he sets to dreamy yet tenacious lo-fi pop. Powers posted his first Youth Lagoon song online in May 2011, sparking buzz that resulted in a deal with Fat Possum Records. His first album, The Year of Hibernation, dealt with psychological dysphoria and arrived that September. The more expansive Wondrous Bughouse, which drew comparisons to vintage Pink Floyd and the Flaming Lips and revolves around "the struggle between the physical and the spiritual world," was released in March 2013.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Anne22 from quality downhill I had the blue version of these chair pads for years, and loved them. We recently remodeled so I bought the red ones instead. The color bleeds, even in hand wash. And the ties have come off where they meet the pad on 3 different pads now, I have only had them a few months. This never happened with my older, blue set. I hope the quality is restored as the sizing of these chair pads is ideal for our kitchen chairs. As other reviewers noted, most chair pads are too large. The color and fabric patterns are lovely as well.Date published: 2015-12-06Rated 4 out of 5 by Corvid from Chair Pads for Windsor chairs I am pleased that these fit our Windsor chairs. Most pads are too large. But these are not totally reversible: they are quilted only on one side. Our chairs are dark green. I would have preferred green cushions, or even black. The rust color is the least jarring for our color scheme. Faint praise, but they are very comfortable.Date published: 2013-12-31Rated 5 out of 5 by DBran from Great Chairpads These chairpads are excellent for several reasons. They look great, are very comfortable, and fit my unusual shaped chairs. I'm very happy with them. I only wish that they came in sets of 2 instead of 4, as I have 6 chairs and had to buy 2 sets.Date published: 2012-02-18Rated 2 out of 5 by AustinKitchen from Chair Pads The chair pads are a nice color and just a bit smaller than I was looking for. The problem with them is that they bleed. Water was spilled on one and the fabric bled all over my woven chair and dripped dye onto the floor. Really bad when chair pad fabric bleeds...we sit on them and that gets on our clothes. Not what I expected from a WS product.Date published: 2012-02-05Rated 4 out of 5 by theboysgrammy from Truly lovely and comfortable chair pads The Marseille chair pads are truly lovely as well as very comfortable. The fabric is beautifully colored. If I were pressed, the only drawback is they are not quite as large as I would have liked but they work well. I ordered two sets because I like the pattern and color so when the time comes to replace them, I have them in the linen closet!Date published: 2012-01-27Rated 5 out of 5 by evasoma from New Chair pads are So pretty I replaced some chair pads that I had had for years with these beautiful pads! When I got them I immediately put them on my chairs and absolutely love them! They stay put and are comfortable to sit on, but most of all they really look pretty! I use to have the kind that didn't tie onto the chair but after years of using them the rubber on the back wore off and they were forever falling off the chairs or not sitting correctly. I am very happy with this purchase!Date published: 2012-01-18Rated 4 out of 5 by lhgc from comfy chair cushions Got these along with the matching tablecloth. They really brighten and warm up my kitchen! The cushions are quite comfortable and fit my chairs well.Date published: 2012-01-18

Eight Distros a Week: gNewSense 1.1
[This is the fifth in an eight-part series on distros I use. These observations are based on distros running on one or more of the following hardware: Dell Inspiron 5000 laptop, an brandless Pentium III-based desktop, an IBM PL 300 Pentium II, an iMac G3 (Indigo) and an iBook G3. As the auto commercials say, your mileage may vary.]
A couple of Saturdays ago, I appeared as a guest on KUSP's GeekSpeak radio show to talk about Free Software, and about two-thirds of what I said on the radio was about gNewSense.
Truth in advertising: I was on with Richard Stallman, who the panelists really wanted to speak to (and rightfully so), and my total contribution to the hour-long radio show was three sentences. But two sentences out of three praising gNewSense isn't bad.
What I said on the show was that gNewSense was the only completely free-as-in-freedom distros I would recommend, and that I have already had one user converted from a proprietary OS to gNewSense.
The third sentence — I corrected the host on how to pronounce my name, I think.
Nevertheless, of all the distros providing true digital freedom, gNewSense stands out as probably the best performing and most stable distro available. To those for whom complete free-as-in-freedom programs with the distro is of vital importance, gNewSense provides suitable alternatives to other-than-free (for whatever reason) software; Burning Dog, for example, is the free (albeit domesticated?) replacement for Firefox as a Web browser. Rhythmbox works well on a PIII, as does Serpentine.
The KDE version of gNewSense, which I ran on the PIII desktop, ran through its paces flawlessly, although the caveat here is that I didn't have an Internet connection and couldn't put it through some on-line tests that I did with the laptop.
Whether you prefer GNOME or KDE — and I don't mean to start a flame war here, and past posts have outlined where my desktop loyalties lie — bear in mind that both desktops run the OS suitably and makes a strong argument for running completely free.
Further, Ireland is beginning to stand out as a digital leader in Europe — both gNewSense and Linux Mint (which we'll talk about tomorrow) are two testaments to how Eire is taking a lead in FOSS. So a toast with a pint of stout to the both Brian Brazil and Paul O'Malley — and the rest of the developers of gNewSense on either side of the Atlantic — for providing a great distro.
Coming tomorrow: Linux Mint 4.0 Darnya Xfce
(Larry Cafiero, editor/publisher of Open Source and Free Software Reporter, is an associate member of the Free Software Foundation.)
February 13, 2008 at 9:25 pm
I'm looking for a totally free distro, tested gNewSense, but remain on debian.
A totally free dstro? Debian with only the free repo selected. Are you agree? Why not?
February 14, 2008 at 4:26 pm
Hi Larry and speedygeo.
While I am in favour of a totally free OS, there are problems though in terms of user expectations (not their fault). Unfortunately most people who buy a computer are completely unaware of what is hidden in the box and once they become disillusioned with MS and search for a linux alternative, they (rightly IMO as they have spent money on their box) want their linux distro to work with their proprietory stuff, and who would blame them.
I'm convinced that most uses of gNewSense, Blag, Ututo still install non-free stuff (which basically defeats the purpose of the distro's intentions). ie dvd stuff, flash, nvidia/ati drivers etc.
The problem IMO is not the user nor the good intentions of distro maintainers, but hardware practicalities.

With every new fossil discovery, evolutionists engage in speculation on the link between birds and dinosaurs. However, detailed analyses constantly refute the conjecture that these fossils constitute evidence for reptile-to-bird evolution.
A report titled "Feathered Dinosaur Fossils Unearthed in China" in National Geographic magazine in 1996 was thought to represent definitive proof of evolution. But there was an error and a lack of knowledge here. Since there is no evidence that feathered dinosaurs evolved, the report concerning them later proved fictitious.
The article dealt with three theropod dinosaur fossils discovered in China. Great media propaganda sought to portray these as important evidence for evolution. Even in Turkey, certain media organizations devoted wide space to those specious claims.
According to the information provided in National Geographic, all three fossils are around 120 million years old, and members of the theropod dinosaur class. (A theropod is the name given to such carnivorous dinosaur species as Tyrannosaurus rex and Velociraptor.) However, National Geographic also maintained that these dinosaurs had bird-like characteristics. These fossil dinosaurs were covered in feathers, similar to those in birds.
Over the months that followed, however, detailed analysis of the fossil known as Sinosauropteryx showed that the structures evolutionists had described as bird feathers were in fact nothing of the sort. An article in Science magazine called "Plucking the Feathered Dinosaur" stated that the structures evolutionist paleontologists portrayed as feathers actually had nothing to do with feathers at all:
Exactly 1 year ago, paleontologists were abuzz about photos of a so-called "feathered dinosaur." . . The Sinosauropteryx specimen from the Yixian Formation in China made the front page of The New York Times, and was viewed by some as confirming the dinosaurian origins of birds. But at this year's vertebrate paleontology meeting in Chicago late last month, the verdict was a bit different: The structures are not modern feathers, say the roughly half-dozen Western paleontologists who have seen the specimens. . . . .Paleontologist Larry Martin of Kansas University, Lawrence, thinks the structures are frayed collagenous fibers beneath the skin—and so have nothing to do with birds.162
Following the failure of their speculation with regard to Sinosauropteryx, evolutionists moved their attention to new fossil discoveries known as ArchBEoraptor, Sinornithosaurus and Beipiaosaurus. (See Archaeoraptor). A dogmatic approach to evolution, a lack of thought and belief in a preconception lead to such errors and erroneous interpretations. The fossils in question establish no connection between birds and dinosaurs, but rather raise a number of inconsistencies and contradictions, some of which may be summed up as follows:
The fossils discovered in China and known as ArchBEoraptor, Sinornithosaurus and Beipiaosaurus are depicted as part birds and part dinosaurs. The evolutionist paleontologist Chris Sloan who interpreted the fossils suggests that these creatures were unable to fly, but used their wings for balance when running. In other words, they need to be regarded as the forerunners of birds and were as yet incapable of flight.
There is an enormous inconsistency here, because these fossils are only 120 million years old. Yet Archaeopteryx, the oldest known bird, is already 150 million years old. Archaeopteryx had exactly the same flying ability as modern-day birds. It possessed the requisite broad wings, asymmetric and complex feather structure and sternum (breast) bone for flight. Evolutionists have for long attempted to portray Archaeopteryx as the primitive forerunner of birds. Yet the greatest problem they face is that this vertebrate already possessed all bird-like features and was fully capable of flight.
In short, Archaeopteryx proves that ancient birds were flying through the air 150 million years ago. This naturally makes it impossible for fossil dinosaurs that are younger by 30 million years to be regarded as the primitive forerunners of birds that were as yet incapable of flight. This shows an evident contradiction in evolutionist claims regarding ArchBEoraptor, Sinornithosaurus and Beipiaosaurus.2009-08-15 13:08:28

MSNBC host: If a Republican vowed to send a minority governor 'back to wherever the hell she came from' media would go 'crazy'
(Becket Adams) MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski said Monday that South Carolina Democratic Chairman Dick Harpootlian's vow to send Indian-American Gov. Nikki Haley "back to wherever the hell she came from" would be a much bigger deal if a Republican had said it.
"Let me just say, fair enough, that if a Republican did this we'd be covering it like crazy, so we're covering it because it was wrong and those statements were absolutely wrong," Brzezinski said.
"I don't care what he meant. He should just say he regrets it," she added.

If you would like to place an order for some coasters,
contact me via email (firstname.lastname@example.com)
or just leave a comment and I will get in touch with you.
So, how do you like your coffee?
I prefer hot chocolate. Especially from Costa Coffee. They have the right mix.
I hate spilling. So, I made my own coasters. Inspired by a coaster.
It reads: MAKE-DO AND MEND | a ball of wool bobs on a placard:
"Mend and make-do to save buying new."
For Aniruddha's 'At the Movies' theme birthday, we gave away coasters as take-home gifts and something to remember the night by.
I kept Love Aaj Kal and Watchmen, for obvious reasons.
Available in 50 and more designs.
They work great as party decor, gifts, take-aways,
and I use the concept to make more versatile items as well.
Cheers to a hot cuppa coffee! :*

Lorraine - from Perth, Western Australia
After drying out for a week, your fondant decorations should have been completely dried out and hard. After you attached the fondant decorations to the cupcakes, did you put them in the refrigerator? Extra moisture from the refrigerator may have caused the decorations to sag. They are better left at room temperature.
Next time, try making your decorations with a 50/50 blend of fondant and gum paste. Gum paste dries out much more quickly than rolled fondant, and it never wilts under moisture. By using a blend, you get the ease of working with fondant along with the strength and structure of gum paste. You can buy ready-to-use gum paste at major craft stores.

BELANOVA AT THE PRIX: If you're just one Guadalajaran synth-pop fantasy band away from attending this year's Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, you just got pushed over the edge with the announcement that this year's Tecate Light Fiesta Friday (the 13th!) bash at the race will feature the Mexican supergroup Belanova.
The trio, featuring vocalist Denisse Guerrero, keyboarder Edgar Huerta and guitarist-bassist Richie Arreola, met in a bar in Guadalajara in 2000 and, fittingly, called its debut album "Cocktail." "Tus Ojos," the CD's first single, powered by its use in a car ad campaign, shot to No. 1 on the Mexican charts and stayed there for three weeks.
The band has become crazily popular since then, charting in Latin America, South America and Spain.
The concert will be held in front of the Terrace Theater inside the race area after the day's racing event, at about 6:45 p.m. It is free to race ticketholders.
Musical history is being made at this year's Grand Prix, with this year's two major musical events, Fiesta Friday and Rock-N-Roar Saturday, featuring female lead vocalists. The Saturday evening band is Joan Jett & the Blackhearts.
THE WAY TO GO: We don't want to tell you how to live your life - well, actually we do, and what a wonderful world it would be if you did as we said.
Here's one thing we would tell you to do if you're planning on attending the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, at least on the race's two biggest days on April 14 and 15 (Saturday and Sunday):
Sign up and pay for the Grand Prix Party Package at McKenna's on the Bay.
It's $175 per person which, to the untrained wallet, seems like a lot of money, but it's a great way to go and, if our math skills remain as steely sharp as they were back when we were pulling in grades that were letters from the first six letters of the alphabet, it would appear that you actually make money on the deal.
For $175 you get general admission tickets for Friday's races and reserved grandstand seating (Grandstand 40) for Saturday and Sunday. The best part, though, is you get free parking (practically $175 value right there) at McKenna's, roundtrip transportation on a BOAT (Long Beach Transit's Aqualink) all three days, and, on Saturday and Sunday, you get COCKTAILS on the boat ride. And you get a voucher for brunch on Sunday.
We're looking at a sell-out, so if you want to go the boat route, call 562-342-9411.
ROCK HOMAGE: The Orange County Fair (July 13 to Aug. 12) has announced another batch of the world's greatest rock bands performing at this summer's event. And, again, these are tribute acts, so the musicians are young, like the members of the world's greatest rock bands used to be.
We are dead serious. A fake but 23-year-old Robert Plant has a lot more range than the real, 63-year-old model.
Anyhow, added to the slate of tributers playing at the fair's Hangar venue are Purple Reign (Prince) on July 18, Queen Nation (Queen) on July 19; and The Joshua Tree (U2), playing U2's 25-year-old CD "The Joshua Tree" in its entirety on July 21. All shows are at 8:30 p.m. and tickets, at $15, go on sale Saturday at Ticketmaster.
MEDLEY UNCHAINED: Bill Medley - not the tribute version, but the real item - is celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Righteous Brothers, despite the death of the other half of the singing duo, Bobby Hatfield, in 2003, in concert at 8 p.m. March 10 and at 3 p.m. March 11 at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts.
Helping to make a duo out of the act will be Medley's daughter, McKenna, not affiliated with our second item in today's column.
Tickets are $53 to $73. Snap `em up at www.cerritos.com.

'Leetch's goal capped a sloppy game in which the Blueshirts had rallied from 3-1 deficit to take a 4-3 lead on Radek Dvorak's goal 3:11 into the third period. They tied it with goals from Michal Grosek and Andreas Johansson in the final 47.3 seconds of the second period. Lindros, who assisted on Johansson's goal, opened the scoring for the Rangers with a power-play goal in the first period – his first goal as a Ranger.'

GSA Announces Release of 'Growth, Efficiency, And Modernism'
December 5, 2003
Contact: Deborah K. Ruiz, (202) 501-1231
GSA Announces Release of 'Growth, Efficiency, And Modernism'
Visually Appealing Report Offers Review of Agency Assets From 1950s, 60s, and 70s
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Center for Historic Buildings today announced the release of its recently published report, "Growth, Efficiency, And Modernism: GSA Buildings of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s."
The center is a division of the U.S. General Services Administration's Public Buildings Service.
"The report … will help GSA better understand our modern-era buildings and inform future reinvestment decisions by taking into account our highest quality and most distinctive buildings," said PBS Commissioner F. Joseph Moravec in the report's introduction. "Responsible portfolio management on our part will ensure that public buildings contribute to the social and economic vitality of communities across the country."
"Growth, Efficiency, And Modernism" is the result of a two-year study commissioned by GSA to review the agency's assets from those specific time periods within the context of their time and to use the results to better understand the modern-era buildings in its portfolio so as to allow for better management.
The report provides a means by which the historic and architectural significance of GSA's mid-century modern buildings may be evaluated as they near the half-century mark, a point of eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places.
Of particular interest is the report's visual appeal. "Growth, Efficiency, And Modernism" offers stunning black and white photographs on almost every page. As it reports its findings, "Growth, Efficiency, And Modernism" offers photography which helps capture and express the appeal in each design. Additionally, the detail offered in each segment of the report clarifies the different architectural styles and stages of federal design from the 1950s, 60s, and 70s.
The twin challenges of maintaining and rehabilitating these facilities in a cost-effective manner belongs to PBS. Even so, GSA retains its commitment to maintain the integrity of public architecture by preserving historic buildings with sensitive upgrades and by respecting the character-defining features in each building.
GSA is a centralized federal procurement and property management agency created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. It acquires, on behalf of federal agencies, office space, equipment, telecommunications, information technology, supplies and services. GSA, comprised of 13,000 associates, provides services and solutions for the office operations of over 1 million federal workers located in more than 8,000 government-owned and leased buildings in 2,000 U.S. communities.

UTSA rallies past New Mexico, 21-13
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — UTSA used a balanced offensive attack and sound defense to rally from a 13-0 first-half deficit for a 21-13 victory at New Mexico on Saturday night at University Stadium.
The Roadrunners compiled 237 yards through the air, all on the arm of senior quarterback Eric Soza, who was 21-for-34 and two touchdowns, and 157 on the ground in improving to 3-0 all-time in season openers. UTSA's defense held the Lobos (0-1) to just 2-of-13 on third downs and 277 yards of total offense in its second victory in the state in as many years.
The home team took advantage of an early UTSA turnover and used a strong ground attack in running out to a 13-0 lead through the first 18 minutes.
The Roadrunners responded with a 10-play, 75-yard drive that took 4:44 off the clock to create its first score of the contest. Soza found Kenny Bias for 15 yards down to the New Mexico 13-yard line and 5- and 7-yard rushes by David Glasco II and Evans Okotcha brought the ball to the one. Glasco II punched it in on the next play, as UTSA pulled to within 13-7 just before halftime.
UTSA took its first lead of the evening on the first possession of the second half. Facing a third down and 13 at its own 32, Soza scrambled 24 yards for a first down. Two plays later, the Beeville native found Brandon Armstrong all alone on a wheel route down the left sideline for a 38-yard scoring pass and Sean Ianno's extra point made it 14-13.
The Roadrunners padded their lead with an eight-play, 99-yard scoring drive late in the fourth quarter. Pinned on its own one for the second time, Soza got UTSA out of the hole with a 15-yard pass to Marcellus Mack and a 17-yard run. Three players later, Soza found Jones over the middle for 35 yards all the way down to the New Mexico 10. After a short rush by Okotcha, Soza scrambled left and pitched forward into the end zone to Glasco II for an 8-yard TD pass to help give the Birds a 21-13 advantage with three minutes remaining.
The Roadrunners will host No. 13 Oklahoma State, a 21-3 winner against Mississippi State on Saturday, in the home opener next Saturday, Sept. 7. Kickoff is set for 11am at the Alamodome with the exclusive radio broadcast starting at 9am on Ticket 760.

Rock Hill, S.C. - Brevard College's Josh Roper has been named the South Atlantic Conference men's basketball Player of the Week for the week ending December 5, 2010.
Roper, a senior guard from Charlotte, N.C. (Pfeiffer University) averaged 23.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 3.0 steals per game in leading Brevard to wins over Lees-McRae, 76-68, and Anderson, 85-84. Roper also connected on 59.2 percent (16-27) of his field goal attempts, 62.5 percent (5-8) of his three-point attempts and 90 percent (9-10) of his free throw attempts on the week.
Roper opened up the week on Monday, sparking the Tornados offense with 16 points, six rebounds and four steals. Roper was 6-13 from the floor and 3-5 from behind the arc in the game and added a pair of assists.
Saturday against Anderson, Roper scored 10 of the Tornados first 12 points on the way to his second 30+ point scoring output of the season. During the second half, as the Trojans brought the game back, Roper scored 16 of his game-high 30 points, adding a key blocked shot before setting up the winning basket by taking the inbounds pass, driving the length of the court and finding an open Travis Jackson on the block with three seconds left to win the game, 85-84. Roper was 10-14 from the floor, 2-3 from behind the arc and 8-8 from the free throw line, while pulling down a game-high nine rebounds and taking two steals.
For the season, Roper leads the Tornados and the South Atlantic Conference with 26.0 points per game. Roper also is averaging 6.5 rebounds, 2.25 steals and 1.75 assists per game.

Ecological Assessment 2009
In 2009, Native Connections performed an ecological assessment of Asylum Lake Preserve. The goal of the study was not to duplicate past efforts but to build on prior work and provide a cohesive vision for the management of the Preserve's natural features.
The study was divided into three focal areas: 1) a qualitative assessment of the natural features in the terrestrial habitats at the Preserve, including the compilation of historical records, 2) the establishment of long term vegetation monitoring plots and transects and initial data collection, and 3) a GIS-based assessment of invasive plant species at the Preserve.
The qualitative assessment focused on vascular plants and birds, as they are easily censused and meaningful indicators of habitat quality. A total of 455 plant species were documented. More than 70% are native species, and 119 are newly reported at the Preserve. The dominant tree species in the forest is wild black cherry, though white and black oak are prominent in the canopy, and red oak and pignut hickory are also common. Collectively, the invasive shrubs glossy and common buckthorn and bush honeysuckle dominate 60% of the forest understory, resulting in low understory diversity. Between the years of 1976 and 2009, 117 bird species were recorded at Asylum Lake Preserve. The study done in 2009 observed two previously undocumented species, the Henslow's Sparrow and Pine Warbler.
Overall, the natural features of Asylum Lake Preserve are highly degraded through many years of human occupation and the effects of urbanization. Small pockets of valuable habitat persist, and with proper restoration practices, the ecological health of Asylum Lake Preserve can be improved.
