Arts & Culture, Our Daily Correspondent
Curious PunishmentsBy Sadie Stein
The other day, my brother called and asked if I would look and see if he had accidentally left his good trousers at my apartment while he was crashing with me; he needed to attend a funeral. I said he had, and that I would press them for him.
"I wish he could afford some better clothes," I said regretfully to my friend. "But it's not like anyone will be looking. And the lights probably won't be be very bright." (While this may seem a trivial concern, anyone who has worn black polyester to a funeral will know what I'm talking about.)
"It will be fine," said my friend. "It's not as though he'll be in rags. Or a barrel and suspenders."
This got us thinking about barrels and suspenders—the familiar image of an individual in visibly reduced circumstances. I imagined it had originated in old political cartoons or similar. And then of course we had to look it up.
Wikipedia informed us that, indeed, a cartoonist called Will B. Johnstone was known for having created a New York World-Telegram cartoon character known as the Tax Payer, who—presumably having been taxed so exorbitantly that he could no longer afford clothing—was portrayed sporting only a barrel held up by suspenders.
But the origin of the trope was most likely the Drunkard's Cloak, or Newcastle Cloak, a form of pillory in seventeenth-century Germany and England in which the publicly inebriated were placed in a barrel colorfully illustrated with scenes of drunken antics. As one helpful Web site explains, "There were two kinds—the enclosed barrel which forced the victim to kneel in his or her own filth, or the open barrel which allowed the victim to roam about town, open to ridicule and scorn." A Sophie's choice, really. Especially as both barrels were likely employed for communal use and, presumably, never cleaned. Read More


text: On the night of April 29, 1977, Margie Bowers '75 was brutally stabbed to death in her Oak Park apartment by a man whom she scarcely knew, but feared.* The murderer should have been in jail. Previously arrested for another killing, he pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. He was sent to a residential facility and later released after having been deemed mentally sound. The deplorable failure of the criminal justice system to protect Margie resulted in a public outcry. News coverage went nationwide; television cameras, lights, and reporters flanked the outside of the church at her funeral. As a result of Margie's death, Illinois laws were rewritten to better protect the rights of victims and society at large. Today, a murder suspect who pleads insanity can be found "guilty but insane," giving judges the option, when appropriate, of ordering a prison sentence along with treatment. Margie began life on April 12, 1952, in Liberia, the little sister to four older brothers (Louis, Robert '61, Paul '65, and Tom). She was a delight to her missionary parents, Louis and Virginia McQuilkin Bowers '36. Margie loved singing, reading, and playing the guitar. A literature major at Wheaton, this MK was drawn toward leadership in the Student Missionary Project. After graduating from Wheaton, she spent a year serving in Liberia and then took a job at Moody Press in Chicago. This issue of Wheaton includes an article about alumni, faculty, and staff who have been involved in producing the Bible in many languages and formats. Translators and sales reps, accountants and copyeditors,warehousemen and designers—countless numbers of the Wheaton family have worked in many different ways to publish the Word of God worldwide. Unfortunately, most are unknown to us. I write about my friend Margie so you can know her. Margie was a manuscript editor for The Ryrie Study Bible when I worked for her as a freelance proofreader. She gained my respect for her intelligence and abilities, and I loved her sweet spirit, humor, and encouragement. Although her work on the study Bible was left unfinished, her contribution was nevertheless significant. Since 1978 more than 2.5 million copies have been sold around the world and in several translations. As a student at Wheaton, Margie wrote in her diary this, her prayer: "To be a signet ring for God; to leave the imprint of Christ's image when pressed into the circumstances of life." Margie lived only 25 years. But in life—and in death—she left her mark on society and the church, and on the hearts of family and friends. Georgia I. Douglass '70, M.A. '94 Editor Feature Articles >

Rochas Fall 2013
Apologies for sounding like a broken record, but be prepared to invest in tailored pants and jackets next season, a few (or six, there's no judging) luxe sweaters, and a men's flat shoe. The look for fall is easy, practical, streamlined, and elegant in a way that marries masculine influences with feminine nonchalance.
This was illustrated beautifully at Rochas where designer Marco Zanini focused on what he called a "real and reassuring wardrobe." Doesn't that sound appealing? Clothes that are uncomplicated to wear and also give you a sense of comfort and confidence. He achieved it via looks like marigold jacquard pants cropped to the ankle worn with the softest dove gray cashmere sweater and a double-breasted blazer in a Prince of Wales check that had sharp, stand-up lapels and a roundness at the hips giving it a little womanliness. And the palest of peach trousers with a burgundy polo sweater and matching jacket had a touch of American prep but was Frenchified with a sober, fifties camel pump.
"Everything is really unembellished, almost plain," Zanini said, which doesn't mean it was minimal. Rather, the effect was quite regal (underscored by Zanini's choice of show venue, an event space transformed into a ballroom with a grand staircase from which the models descended). The designer's restraint allowed his accessories—jewelry rolls wittily turned into handbags and single-strand diamante necklaces—to stand out all the more. Well, stand out might be overstating it because the bags were often the same color as the clothes. (The super-discreet bag is a major point for fall.) The sparkling jewels, though, looked especially chic with the men's jacket, pant, and the seductive-but-covered-up pump.
For all the unencumbered elegance, a few of the fabrics could have born a little lightness, like the duchesse satin-bonded camel-hair skirt with exaggerated folds. Stunning but perhaps not realistic for the modern wardrobe. Then again, isn't that why we come to Paris—for a little fantasy?

In the universe, the bigger the star the faster it burns. If the Sun, which warms us and provides us with food and life, were ten times bigger than its current size, it would burn itself out not in ten billion years but ten million years after it was formed, and we would not be here right now. If we were at an orbit closer to the Sun, everything on the Earth would evaporate and disappear. If it were a further orbit, everywhere would be covered with ice under those conditions.
The Sun is at just the right size to provide for life onEarth and at just the right distance to Earth.
If the Earth were only 1% further away from the Sun, or only 5% closer to the Sun, it would become an uninhabitable planet. These so-called percentages are actually very small distance units when the huge numbers of the universe are taken into account. In order to understand this, we could give Venus as an example. The Sun's heat reaches Venus, which is the planetjust before the Earth, two minutes ahead of us. In terms of size and structure, Venus is quite similar to the Earth, but a small difference in orbital distance is the cause of the "life" difference between these two planets. As a result of this two-minute difference, Venus' surface temperature reaches up to 470oC. This temperature is high enough to even melt lead. The atmospheric pressure on the surface is 90 times than that of the Earth. Under such enormous pressure, human life is not possible. (Short History of Almost Everything, Bill Bryson, Boyner Publications, 2003, pp. 216–217)
Of course, Allah could have created life on every planet in space. However, Allah only created life on the Earth. For this, He made countless factors dependent on delicate balances. A discrepancy in only one of these balances is enough to end life on Earth. Life on Earth, the flawless balance it has, and the causes these all depend on are all under the control of Allah Who created them. Like everything that is created, the Earth we live on also has the matchless art of Almighty Allah.
"It is He Who splits the sky at dawn, and appoints the night as a time of stillness and the sun and moon as a means of reckoning. That is what the Almighty, the All-Knowing has ordained." (Surat Al-An'am, 96)

RANCHO CUCAMONGA -- A 28-year-old Upland man was killed late Friday when he was struck and killed by a Metrolink train bound for San Bernardino, authorities said.
Passengers were delayed for more than an hour.
"At approximately 9:30 p.m. last night "? a male Hispanic gentleman walking eastbound on the middle of the tracks was struck by our San Bernardino Train 334," Metrolink spokesman Jeff Lustgarten said Saturday.
The San Bernardino County Coroner's Office identified the victim as Juan Carols Gomez. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.
The train struck Gomez about 300 feet east of where the tracks cross Baker Avenue, near Eighth Street.
The train was traveling east from Upland toward Rancho Cucamonga at the time of the crash, heading toward San Bernardino.
"He was on the tracks and aware the train was coming," said Sgt. Lisa Trask of the Rancho Cucamonga station of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.
About 133 passengers were on Train 334 at the time of the crash.
"It took about an hour and a half for them to get picked up and taken to their final destinations," Lustgarten said. "It was a long night."

At the core of contemporary secularism is the denial of the existence of deities and the supernatural. There is only the natural, as described by our best sciences. This 'disenchantment' of the world seems to leave no place for value, and this exclusion of value from the world is, Akeel Bilgrami argues in his essay "What is Enchantment?" one of the central and damning failures of contemporary secularism.
How does secularism crowd values out of our picture of the world? If we accept a secularist metaphysics, then a necessary condition for the existence of values is that they can be accommodated by our best sciences. But our best sciences do not seem to have any room for values. Values make demands on human beings as actors—for instance, we ought to pursue the good, we ought to avoid the bad, and so on—but science describes no such free-standing "oughts."

For "Refreshing the Familiar" on Wednesday morning, Dec. 5, seven panelists presented ways in which they attempt to put fresh twists on traditional architecture.
Charleston local Chris Schmitt, FAIA, NCARB, showed images of several projects (including the renovated Vanderhorst mansion that was part of Monday's Reinvention house tour, as well as some new residences). He told the audience of 251 people that he uses regional precedents such as hunting lodges, agricultural buildings, and local ruins to take a "lighthearted" approach to considering context.
Stuart Cohen, FAIA, and Julie Hacker, AIA, of Evanston, Ill., focused on a single architectural element: the window. A wide array of photos demonstrated the way they employ both interior and exterior windows for toplighting, borrowed light, and views into other rooms.
Imagery of a new house in Minnesota provided Minneapolis' Christine Albertsson, AIA, and Todd Hansen, AIA, with plenty of material to voice their thoughts on refreshing the familiar. They based the home's forms on local rural buildings and mill ruins, also using Scandinavian influences to inform their design choices. They explained that their clients didn't want the formality of classical molding, so they developed a set of simpler, coved moldings as well as planked ceilings, tongue-and-groove wall paneling, and wide-plank doors.
Anne Fairfax of New York City told the audience she wasn't particularly interested in "refreshing" the familiar. "We kind of like the familiar," she said. Her presentation included photos of a New York apartment inspired by elements of the Sir John Soane's Museum in London, as well as an upstate New York house based on regional precedent and filled with locally sourced materials.
Another New Yorker, Dennis Wedlick, AIA, showed photos of a few houses he's designed ("a lot of our projects look like barns," he said) but then announced he had decided to use the rest of his allotted time to open up the floor for discussion and questions. For the remaining 20 minutes or so, the panel and audience engaged in a spirited conversation about the current direction and goals of residential architecture.

Sensation and perception was my favorite psychology class at SLU. Dr. Searleman's charisma and enthusiasm coupled with a fascinating topic help S&P take the cake here. As a senior, I took Animal Behavior, and it was one of my favorite classes, too. (Coincidentally, I took both with lab, for students who are deciding how to meet the requirement.) If there is one class at SLU that I'd want to take again, it's S&P. I essentially get to do just that, attending the lab (which is where the coolest stuff happens). As the lab TA, I helped out with the in-class lab work and helped students work on the lab reports. In class, I watched illusion after illusion, and out of class I helped format lab write-ups in APA format. For some reason, the in class work tended to be more fun. My favorite part of S&P was some of the specific illusion Dr. Searleman showed us. I guess I shouldn't say what they were (he likes surprises), but a couple were really cool!

Managing your depression - teensRecognizing depression in your teen; Helping your teen with depression
Depression is a serious medical condition that you need help with until you feel better. Know that you are not alone. About 1 in 5 teenagers will be depressed at some point. Luckily, there are ways to get treatment. Learn about treatment for depression and what you can do to help yourself get better.
Take Part in Talk Therapy
Talk therapy can help you feel better. In talk therapy, you talk with a therapist or a counselor about how you are feeling and what you are thinking about.
You usually see a therapist about once a week. The more open you are with your therapist about your thoughts and feelings, the more helpful the therapy can be.
Taking Medicine for Depression
Be involved with this decision if you can. Learn from your doctor if depression medicine might help you feel better. Talk about it with your doctor and parents.
If you take medicine for depression, know that:
- It can take a few weeks to feel better after you start taking the medicine.
- Antidepressant medicine works best if you take it every day.
- You may need to take the medicine for at least 6 to 12 months to get the best effect and to lower the risk of depression coming back.
- You need to talk to your doctor about how the medicine makes you feel. If it is not working enough, or if it is causing any side effects, your doctor may need to change the dose or the medicine you are taking.
- You shouldn't stop taking your medicine on your own. If the medicine doesn't make you feel good, talk to your doctor. Your doctor has to help you stop the medicine slowly. Stopping it suddenly could make you feel worse.
Stay in Touch with Your Depression Symptoms
If you are thinking about death or suicide:
- Talk to a friend, family member, or your doctor right away.
- You can always get immediate help by going to the nearest emergency room or calling 1-800-SUICIDE, or 1-800-999-9999. The hotline is open 24/7.
Talk with your parents or your doctor if you feel your depression symptoms getting worse. You may need a change in your treatment.
Avoid Risky Behaviors
Risky behaviors are behaviors that can hurt you. They include unsafe sex, drinking, doing drugs, driving dangerously, or skipping school. If you take part in risky behaviors, know that they can make your depression worse. Take control of your behavior rather than letting it control you.
Avoid drugs and alcohol.They can make your depression worse.
Spend time with friends that are positive and can support you.
When to Call the Doctor
Talk to your parents and call your doctor if you are:
- Thinking about death or suicide
- Feeling worse
- Thinking about stopping your medicine

Groff, Lauren. Arcadia
In the 1970s, a group of idealistic hippies come together with a vision of utopia, following their charismatic leader, Handy, on a cross-country trek which ends in western New York state at a decaying mansion known as Arcadia House. Bit (the littlest bit of a hippie) is the first child born to the new Arcadians and he grows up in the commune among the optimistic, romantic, and ultimately all-too-human adult founders. We see through his eyes as his mother struggles with a deep and abiding clinical depression, as his father challenges the increasingly haphazard "leadership" of Handy, as the commune grows from a tightly-knit core of like-minded individuals with a vision of cooperation into a sprawling morass of the lazy and the criminal and the insane, as the commune eventually dissolves away into nothing after Handy's arrest. Having never lived "Outside," young Bit is thrust into a whole new world and must make sense of it as well as he can until, as an adult, circumstances return him to an Arcadia very much changed, but still a place of refuge.
A plot summary cannot do justice to the lyrical and poignant power of this novel. Bit is a thoughtful, sensitive, and entirely sympathetic narrator and it is a pleasure to grow up alongside him, watching as his perceptions and understandings change with time. Highly recommended.

Darwin on Lyell's Time: Darwin's complete dependence on Lyell shows in his comment in the Origin of Species:
"He who can read Sir Charles Lyell's grand work on the Principles of Geology, which the future historian will recognise as having produced a revolution in natural science, yet does not admit how incomprehensibly vast have been the past periods of time, may at once close this volume."
Darwin, 1859, Origin, Ch IX, p282
Editorial Comment: The Biblical history of the world sets out a clearly documented record of the origin and history of life that has the authority of a witness who was there. Lyell's work gave Darwin the option of rejecting that authority and substituting it with his own. A vast incomprehensible past, undocumented by any witnesses, allowed Darwin to fill it with his own theories about the origin of life and of new and different life forms. (Ref. time, ages, uniformitarianism)
Evidence News, 16 December 2009
Charles Darwin was a bright young theological graduate, but by the end of his life he had turned his back on God, denied that Jesus Christ was the Son of God and declared Scripture to be "manifestly false". What happened?

Chris Brown Pleads Guilty To Washington D.C. Assault Case
Listen to Chris Brown Radio on iHeartRadio
Today, Chris Brown accepted a plea deal in his Washington D.C. assault case. The singer has plead guilty to his role in the melee.
Brown had been charged with misdemeanor assault for punching a man in the face outside his tour bus last October. The judge sentenced him to time already served. Brown apologized in court saying the case had derailed his career for the past year. Ideally, he would like to move on and go on tour to promote his new album.
His bodyguard, Christopher Hollosy was also convicted of misdemeanor assault in April in connection with the incident, but has not yet been sentenced.
In all, Chris Brown spent 108 days in L.A. County lockup because the D.C. case violated his probation in the Rihanna abuse case. Chris, accompanied by his girlfriend Karrueche, is looking forward to putting his legal woes behind him.

There's a unique power in the word "home." It's where we grow, where we learn lifelong values, and where the generations come together in times of grief and joy. "Home" is both literally and figuratively the bedrock of civilization. As the poet Robert Frost wrote:
"Home is where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in."
Given the importance of the home in society, one would expect single-family residential design to be the subject of intense academic research. Yes, government gathers a wealth of statistics and Realtors keep a close eye on market trends. But a quick Web search produces relatively meager information from objective third-party researchers. At a time when a host of issues, from affordability and resilience to the very idea of what constitutes a family, cries out for intense study, there has been a surprising lack of curiosity about a building type that historically has the longest lifespan of anything we design and build.
Whatever architecture schools bring to the university, these programs (unlike, say, medicine and engineering) typically do not bring in much in the way of research dollars. Where funds do flow in, the investment is likely to be targeted at a particular issue, such as health and accessibility. If one's home is indeed one's castle, few have navigated the moat to pursue research into the most elemental building type.
At the AIA National Convention, attendees will learn about the Institute's commitment to making the case among clients, elected officials, and the public for the importance of design in a rapidly changing world. Advocating for rigorous academic investigation into the built environment in a way that demonstrates the value proposition of turning to architects will be critical to our being heard.
AIA initiatives such as the College of Fellows' Latrobe Prize and the launch this year of the Building Research Information Knowledgebase, in partnership with the National Institute of Buildings Sciences, are important steps. But we need to go much further. Given the central role architects can play in shaping a more sustainable, productive, and healthy society, we need to back up architecture's claim with credible research. What better place to make that case than in an evidence-based conversation about the future of the 21st-century home?
Mickey Jacob, FAIA, 2013 President


text: The Baba Yaga wiki last edited by Roekon on 07/27/14 02:52AM View full history OriginFel Yaga was one of the keepers and writers of the journals of Myst. She kept her daughter Baba close by and the two shared a close relationship. Eventually the forces of the Dark One came for her journal. Fel she resisted and paid for it with her life. Baba witnessed the murder and swore to become an enemy of the Dark One, but also choose a life of evil for herself.She once was Shang's star pupil, until he discovered she was a spy for the enemy. He cast her out and imprisoned her in a house in a forest. There she lay in wait and laid traps for humans, so that she could eat them. Her favourite prey were children, but with none often available she instead ate the heroes and champions who sought to slay her. She would then take their bones and create a fence from them. She would later decide that she had only one champion left to vanquish, Alexxa. Alexxa is hunted down by the Black, White and Red Knights of Baba Yaga, but fought back with the aid of characters from her book. Baba Yaga counter-attacked and Alexxa only had time to return to her house to tell Shang that Baba Yaga was back. He informed her to pass the book on the next bearer, which was Sela.CreationThe character was created as an adversary for Sela and first appeared in Grimm Fairy Tales #42.The initial concept behind the character was based off of that of a witch-like creature from Slavic legends called Baba Yaga, although the Zenescope version is substantially different. Like the Zenescope version though this character is sometimes portrayed as a force for good, even though she has an evil nature.Character EvolutionShe has been portrayed almost exclusively as evil, however, on occasion she and Belinda have worked together towards a goal which is significantly less evil than, for instance, the Dark One.Major Story ArcsBaba Yaga is more often seen behind the scenes manipulating others as opposed to being involved directly in the action. Her first major role was in the Dream Eater Saga where she decides against the advice of the others to kill the Dark One (though he is saved by a sacrifice of Fenton).In the series Grimm Fairy Tales: Myths and Legends, she fills the opposite role as that of Samantha, and tries to convert other falseblood to the side of evil. She is currently pursuing the shards of an artifact which will return Helios to Earth.Powers and AbilitiesShe is a sorceress of great power and is seemingly immortal. One of the item in her possession is the Cyclops Eye which enchants others and makes them serve her.

I'm a confused noob...
Using Backtrack 5 R2 32 bit KDE installed on a 4 GB USB stick. I'm running it on a Lenovo T410i. It boots to the Backtrack wallpaper with a command line window in the middle at the root prompt. However, there doesn't seem to be a window manager running - I have no desktop, no mouse, no icons or windows. I tried startx, but the screen goes black and the capslock blinks. I also tried the 64 bit iso, but it won't boot - it goes directly to a blank screen with blinking capslock.
I can successfully boot ubuntu 11.10 desktop installed on the same USB stick and everything works fine.
Any ideas?
4GB is not really the size you need and that is going to cause you some problems. Backtrack recommends a 8gb flash drive or larger in order to run the thumbdrives. And...
This should fix your problem.

I'm a newibe with BT4 so I hope I can find enlightenment on a few things. My computer is a Toshiba Satellite, 4GB RAM, 500GB HD, Windows 7 64bit. I do have BT3 installed on a vdware virtual machine and I have no problems. In the pursuit of a persistent usb thumb drive---Part 2 of the instructions " Persistent Changes"---I was not allowed to set the default of " 4 " after entering the first 2 commands of the section. I was also not allowed to add " vga=x317 " to the " Start Peersistent Live CD " section also within Part 2.
Could not install Nessus, the next step, because it said it could not locate the file or program. Nessus was downloaded to my computer and the first usb thumb drive, but still could not see it. And lastly, very strange...BT4 did download semi-succesfully to the usb thumb drive....however...there are no konsole shells or mouse controlled pointer. I get as far as " airodump " and cannot go further because of no taskbar or konsole shells.

It's easiest to start with chocolate cake and chocolate icing, because then you are starting with a dark color base. They add Black icing color until you reach the shade you desire. If you would like to use less icing color, consider making only accents on the cake black instead of the entire thing.

Clickjacking - Black Hat 2010
Show left menu
Hide left menu
14 April 2010
Paul Stone, a consultant at Context, has conducted research into Clickjacking and produced a white paper which was premiered at Black Hat 2010, in a talk of the same title – Next Generation Clickjacking.
Clickjacking is a term first introduced by Jeremiah Grossman and Robert Hansen in 2008 to describe a technique whereby an attacker tricks a user into performing certain actions on a website by hiding clickable elements inside an invisible iframe.
Although it has been two years since the concept was first introduced, most websites still have not implemented effective protection against clickjacking. In part, this may be because of the difficulty of visualising how the technique works in practice.

According to a new study from Harvard University, coffee may actually help you live longer.
Researchers studied 130,000 coffee drinkers who guzzled 48 ounces per day and found that these caffeine addicts live longer than those who live without the buzz.
Coffee also has been found to have a connection with lowering the chances of suffering from type-2 diabetes, Parkinson's, and some types of cancer.
But, keep it simple … black coffee is the best way to go. Avoid all those mocha-flavored and sugary "coffee drinks" just to stay safe - and to get the biggest health benefits possible.

My brother who has AT&T got a text message from them, automatically giving him a DataPlan because they found out he had an iPhone. (Before, he just took the SIM card out of his old phone when he got it.)
They are now charging him $30. They said they couldn't get rid of the dataplan because it is locked in the system. We are planning to move to T-Mobile.
Posted 14 June 2010 - 07:00 PM
Another thing to consider is that while now you have your priority of cell usage, that may change with an iPhone. (Not sure if you currently have a smartphone.) With an iPhone, I think the temptation is to use it more like a handheld laptop and add more web browsing and such to your phone activities. This brings me to that recent announcement of the capped data plans. If you think you may be watching a lot of streaming video (especially HD), those caps may hurt you. Though I think the iPhone is restricted from going to YouTube except through the app (no Flash will do that), and they compress the videos from what I've heard.
My co-worker definitely comes off as a power user to me, constantly on it to play and download music, text, check his e-mail, shop on Amazon, download apps, etc, and I think he said he's used less than 5GB since he got the phone about a year ago. That guy swears by his iPhone, and he used to be a hardcore Blackberry fan. The guy even went so far as to drop a $500 security deposit to sign up (he had no credit at the time), and even though it's been less than a year, he's going to go out and get the new iPhone when it comes out.

AT&T is not letting me out of their contract no matter the fact that I've complained about the dropped calls and the fact that where I work I get no service. I've even gotten a dropped call while I was complaining to them! It's so bad now that I want to pay the ~$135 Early termination fee to get out and switch to Verizon. Mmm Droid <3

Horrible customer service
Terrible coverage with frequently dropped calls and data service
Tiny 3G footprint
Using the iPhone as a carrot to dangle over their customers.
Now a new ridiculous data cap on their data service.
I currently have T-Mobile and I'm much happier with the service. My biggest complaint with T-Mobile is 3G coverage, but they are one of the only providers to be upgrading their towers to HPSA+. This means amazing 3G service where it's available. I often see 3Mbps download on my phone.
I mainly use my phone for E-Mail and text. I have a 1000 minute package I also blow through every month. I've been very happy with T-Mobile.
I guess it's more of a question of do you really want the iPhone? Some people seem to think it's worth dealing with AT&T to have one. Everyone I know that has an iPhone loves their phones except their ability to make phone calls on it. They drop calls constantly. (Should be called the iMiniComputer and not the iPhone in my opinion.)

I definitely would not stay with T-Mobile. Where they have service, they're great. Really, they are.
However, with T-Mobile I barely had service inside of most public buildings and the holes in the service are so numerous.....I recently switched to Verizon and I couldn't be happier with the service. I get reception everywhere and their phones are pretty neat.

No cell phone company is flawless
I try NOT to make phone calls. Most of my higher paying clients only text/email me anways
Most places I go have free wifi, so that would save on my bandwith..
I rarely "stream" ANYTHING... im not talking about my phone.. im talking about my home PC. if there is something i want to watch, i dont stream it
The iphone is great for text messaging, and photo display.
I think Iphone is the only phone in america that has a video output
Iphone can do this
If AT&T is stable enough where I can receive and send text messages, and emails. then im pretty much good to go. The people who pay my bills only text and email me and RARELY call me....
the only phone calls I actually make are from friends and family.... which... if the calls are dropped, at&t would be doing me a favor..... lol
AT&T is a tad more than my tmobile plan.. BUT.. AT&T is nation wide where my tmobile plan is not...
AT&T has roll overs, which Tmobile does not....
So for my specific purpose... it looks like AT&T would fit my specific needs. people complain about dropped calls.. but not "un received or sent text messages and or emails"

My bill is less compared to my friends on other services and I always seem to have signal when they don't.
If there's been a problem they always fixed it quickly or gave me a credit for the trouble.

Elderly couple uses heavy metal to get revenge on neighbors
Listen to Iron Maiden on iHeartRadio
An elderly couple in Sweden is facing harassment charges after allegedly using heavy metal music to get a little revenge on a noisy neighbor.
According to TheLocal.se, the 81-year-old man and his 71-year-old wife are accused of playing Iron Maiden at full volume from their balcony, sometimes blasting the tunes into the wee hours of the morning.
The couple supposedly told police they were trying to give their neighbors a taste of their own medicine after a whistling sound coming from their property forced the septuagenarian to start taking sleeping pills to get any shut eye.
But the neighbors ended up calling in the police, explaining that the musical torture had left them "completely broken down."

Nick Gordon Arrested for DUI Following Gnarly Car Crash
Listen to Whitney Houston Radio on iHeartRadio
(TMZ) - The good news: Nick Gordon walked away from a terrible car accident Thursday morning with no major injures. The bad news is ... he got arrested for DUI, according to TMZ
Law enforcement sources in Roswell, GA tell TMZ ... Gordon (who is married to Whitney Houston's daughter Bobbi Kristina) lost control of his BMW, hit a curb, took out a fire hydrant and flipped his car upside down. TMZ reports it finally came to a rest after sliding around 200 feet.
When cops arrived on scene, we're told they discovered Nick was driving on a suspended license and cops felt Gordon's behavior gave them probable cause to arrest him for DUI.
According to TMZ, police did not conduct a breathalyzer test, but they are seeking a warrant for a blood test.

text: Last year I had a Swiss backpack and I liked it but the bottom is virtually gone so I'm searching for a replacement that is comfortable, looks good and sturdy. I was originally looking at a Herschel Supply Co. bag but after the negative opinions I've read here about the construction I've changed my mind. My attention has now turned to this bag: It's made by Topo Design (it is a trekking bag which should means it should be sturdy). Does anyone have any ideas on other bags? What I'm looking for in a backpack is: Durability/Quality material (made preferably of Canvas or Leather with good stitching, straps, buttons, etc.) Looks (Not a standard looking bag i.e. Jansport) That's about it Thanks

Jokisch tosses no-hitter in 10-0 victory over Suns
Eric Jokisch throws first nine-inning no-hitter since Scot Elam in 1985; first no-no since 2007
By Nick Roark / Tennessee Smokies | August 6, 2013 6:33 PM ET
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Tennessee Smokies (25-19, 59-54) stopped the Jacksonville Suns' (27-17, 61-50) 11-game winning streak in grand fashion Tuesday evening behind the no-hit bid of left-handed pitcher Eric Jokisch. Making his first start since being placed on the disabled list on July 31 with arm fatigue, the 24-year-old showed no signs of weariness while tossing108 pitches in the first nine-inning no-hitter since Scot Elam tossed one in a 2-0 victory against Memphis in 1985. Mark Holliman threw the last no-no for Tennessee - a seven-inning affair - in 2007 against Huntsville in a 3-0 win.
Jokisch retired the first ten batters he faced in order - striking out five - but allowed a one-out walk to Chris Gutierrez in the bottom of the fourth to lose a shot at a perfect game. The former Northwestern Wildcat cruised through the next two innings, retiring the side in order during the fifth and sixth innings.
After working around two-out walks in the seventh and eighth innings, Jokisch entered the ninth having thrown 99 pitches. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound lefty delivered a first pitch fastball to Suns' center fielder Isaac Galloway, who lined out sharply to third baseman Christian Villanueva. Shortstop Javier Baez saved the no-no in the following at-bat when Chris Gutierrez looped a soft blooper behind the second base bag, causing Baez to dive and snag the ball before it hit the ground.
Jokisch walked Derek Dietrich with two outs before relief pitcher Pete Andrelczyk grounded into a 5-3 putout to complete the no-hit affair. With the win, Jokisch improved to 9-10 on the season and lowered his ERA to 3.57 while Andrew Heaney (1-1, 5.00) took the loss.
Tennessee jumped on Heaney early in the top of the first inning when Matt Szczur set the table with a leadoff double - his 21st of the season - to left field. Rubi Silva followed Szczur and brought home the Smokies' first run with a single to center for a 1-0 lead. Tennessee was not finished as shortstop Javier Baez doubled for the seventh time in a Smokies' uniform, scoring Silva to push the advantage to 2-0. Catcher Rafael Lopez scored Baez three batters later on the Smokies' fourth hit in the inning, this one a RBI-single to right field giving Tennessee a 3-0 edge.
The Smokies continued to rough up Heaney in the second inning. After Jokisch reached first base on a one-out single and Silva moved him to third with a hit of his own, Baez plated the Smokies' starter on a sharp single to left field for a 4-0 Tennessee lead. Jokisch helped his own cause in the top of the third with his second hit of the ballgame. After John Andreoli and Jonathan Mota moved into scoring position on a double steal with Jokisch batting, the southpaw slapped a ground ball to center field, bringing home Andreoli and pushing the Smokies' lead to 5-0.
Collin Cargill relieved Heaney in the fourth frame, but the pitching change did not stop the Tennessee offense. After two singles and an intentional walk loaded the bases with one out, Andreoli brought in Baez on a sacrifice fly to left field. A batter later, Mota knocked in his 27th and 28th RBIs on a RBI-double to center field, giving Tennessee an 8-0 cushion.
Baez carried the Smokies onslaught into the fifth inning. After Silva reached first base on a one-out single, the Cubs' top prospect drove the right fielder in on his second double of the game. A ground out by Justin Bour moved Baez to third, and in the ensuing at-bat, a passed ball scored the shortstop for a 10-0 Smokies edge.
Tennessee returns to Smokies Park Thursday evening for game one of a five-game series against the Montgomery Biscuits. Eduardo Figueroa (0-1, 1.80) will make his second Double-A start and first home start with Tennessee while Montgomery will send Victor Mateo (5-9, 4.78) to the bump. First pitch from Smokies Park is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. EST.

NIGEL Adkins admitted he felt Saints could have got three points after playing for so long against ten men at West Ham but was content with a draw.
Saints were under massive pressure at the start of the game and eventually fell behind from the penalty spot but, with Matt Taylor sent off in the melee that followed the award of the spot kick, Adkins' men had a chance to overtake the Hammers and leapfrog them into first place.
However, after taking until 75 minutes to bag an equaliser, Adkins was left to reflect that four points against West Ham over the season was a good haul.
He said: "There were some interesting decisions for the officials to make and the linesman has backed the referee up as well and I think the linesman's given the first penalty.
"In the cold light of day we've gone 1-0 down from a penalty and we've had good opportunities over the course of the game to go and win it and we had to break down the opposition who have defended resolutely throughout the game.
"I'm sure they were happy to get the point whereas you think with us having the extra man on the pitch for a longer period of time and the chances we did present we would probably turn round and say we didn't get the three points that we wanted.
"But you look at the start of the season and if we could take four points from them you would probably think that was a good haul of points."
In a cracking game full of incident, both managers were disagreeing about refereeing decision, albeit Adkins was remaining typically diplomatic.
He did however confess he didn't believe the West Ham penalty should have been given and Saints should have got one for a second half handball.
"He never touched him. My view on the pitch was it wasn't a penalty,"
said Adkins, whose side remain a point behind West Ham with the Hammers boasting a game in hand.
"I've tried to look at the video but the two angles I've looked at are inconclusive but does suggest he didn't touch him.
"In my opinion it was not a penalty."
He added: "The referee has made a call and he's not seen a handball that I thought was a clear handball when Jose Fonte got in a header and I'm the only one jumping up and down.
"I've seen the video and it's a clear penalty for us and the referee and the officials have not seen that.
"Sam was appealing for a couple of penalties as well which I didn't see so I was unaware of those.
"I've asked a few questions and one might have been and one definitely wasn't so the officials have had an interesting evening."

Listen to Kelly Clarkson on iHeartRadio
Kelly Clarkson has a baby girl on the way! The pregnant singer announced the sex of her baby through Twitter on Monday morning, sharing with fans that she and husband Brandon Blackstock had just learned the news.
It looks like Kelly has a hidden talent for guessing baby genders, as she correctly predicted her own months ago when first revealing her pregnancy back in November. Kelly tweeted that her hunch was right, joking that "only a girl could cause this much drama with all this vomiting!"
We just found out we're having a girl officially! I knew it! Only a girl could cause this much drama with all this vomiting ha!
— Kelly Clarkson (@kelly_clarkson) January 20, 2014
The girl will be the 31-year-old singer's first child. She's due to give birth this summer.
Congrats to Kelly and Brandon!

Tornados battle for SAC Tournament birthsOctober 29, 2008
Brevard, N.C. - Three fall sports teams wrap up their 2008 South Atlantic Conference regular season schedules this weekend, and all have an opportunity to earn births in the upcoming SAC Tournaments. In their inaugural season of SAC competition, the Brevard men's soccer, women's soccer and volleyball teams all have an opportunity to qualify for postseason action.
Juan Mascaro's men's soccer squad is peaking at the right time, having won their last two matches. BC toppled SAC powerhouse Lincoln Memorial on Friday, 2-1 in overtime, with Jussi Halonen scoring the golden goal. Tuesday the Tornados drilled North Greenville, 2-0, with Halonen again scoring the game-winner. Saturday Mascaro's team travels to Salisbury, N.C. for a 4 p.m. showdown with Catawba College. The Tornados and Indians both sit at 1-6 in SAC play. The winner of the match will advance to the SAC Quarterfinals as the #8 seed, while the loser's season would be over.
The women's soccer team, led by Liz Stojetz, is winless in SAC play, at 0-6, but still has an opportunity to reach the SAC Tournament. The Tornados travel to Jefferson City, Tenn. to battle Carson-Newman on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. and host Catawba Saturday at 4 p.m. A win in both matches, plus a Mars Hill loss to Lincoln Memorial on Wednesday, clinches the #8 seed for Brevard.
Brenda Skefington's volleyball team is currently 2-11 in the SAC and sits in prime position to advance to the SAC Tournament. The Tornados play two road matches this weekend: Friday against Lenoir-Rhyne at 6:30 p.m. and Saturday against Catawba at 5 p.m. There are several scenarios by which BC can clinch the #8 seed:
1) BC wins both weekend matches
2) BC wins one of two matches, and Mars Hill loses at least one of their final three SAC matches, against Lincoln Memorial (Saturday), Lenoir-Rhyne (11/7) or Catawba (11/8)
3) Mars Hill loses at least two of their final three SAC matches
BC can also earn the #7 seed in the tournament if they win both matches and Lenoir-Rhyne loses their final four SAC matches.
Be sure to support all of the fall sports teams this weekend, at home and on the road!

- Description
Thank you for considering the purchase of the newest version of our ePipeMods original Steam Pipe. If you are new to us or even if you already own a mod or two, please take the time to watch this MUST SEE video on how to check your ohms. It is vital information when owning a mod to ensure a good lifespan and to avoid wasting time and money on unneeded repairs.
The following link will take you to our YouTube video about the new features of the V3 Steam Pipe. Thank you for your time and I hope you enjoy your shopping experience with us!
Pipe purchases include the pipe bowl and one button only. For information on necessary accessories, please click HERE.
- Additional items such as pipe stems, batteries, atomizers, chargers, etc., can be purchased in the Pipe Supplies Category.
- The pipe that is pictured is the exact pipe you will receive.
- All of our pipes are designed and created right here in the E.P.M. Wood Shop.
IMR 18650 Flat Top Batteries
*Do not use batteries that have the label peeled off (cover battery with electrical tape if no label)
- Any atomizer with a 510/eGo thread
- Other thread types can be used with an adapter.
- Equipped with a user-replaceable VapeSafe
- If the VapeSafe is permanently damaged by a short circuit, you can replace it with ease.
- VapeSafe will come out with the battery each time it is removed from the bowl.
- To place the VapeSafe back in the bowl is to drop it into the bowl by itself, insuring that the VapeSafe's magnets are aligned properly with the magnet in the bottom of the bowl. Then simply re-insert the battery, positive post down.
IMPORTANT: If you do not put a VapeSafe in the bottom of the pipe before using, the pipe will not operate.
WARNING: Your V3 Steam Pipe has the ability to bypass the use of the VapeSafe by using a spacer magnet. We do not recommend this, especially for new vapers. Use of the pipe without the VapeSafe can be potentially dangerous and can potentially cause bodily injury and property damage. If you choose to operate your V3 Steam Pipe without a Vape Safe, use of the proper size spacer magnet is essential. Correctly sized spacer magnets are available on our website.
DISCLAIMER: ePipeMods is not responsible for any personal injury or property damage caused by the use of Steam Pipes without a VapeSafe.
For more information on battery safety, please visit: http://www.axiommemory.com/PDF/BatterySafety.pdf
Care and Maintenance – Our pipes are made from real wood. Please note the following recommendations
- Eliquids can warp and crack wood. Avoid spilling eliquid on or in the pipe.
- Should the pipe come in contact with your eliquid, quickly wipe it off.
- Refresh your pipe's finish from time to time with a carnauba wax. We carry 2 types on the site.
- Occasionally clean the metal ring at the top the bowl and positive post at the bottom. A Q-Tip does the job nicely. A small amount of alcohol can be used, but is not necessary.
- A quick wipe-down of the metal contacts on the button is also needed from time to time as a film may appear over the contacts.
- Be carefuly not to over-tighten atomizers/cartomizers/tanks. A visible gap is preferred as over-tightening can cause a hard short between the atomizer and the center pin. This will trip the VapeSafe circuit and stop the pipe from operating.
- If the VapeSafe is tripped, the pipe will cease to operate until the short is corrected.
- The simplest solution is to try a different atty/carto.
WARNING: If a hard short occurs and the switch remains in the on position for more than 6 seconds, the VapeSafe 2 protection circuit can fail permanently making the VapeSafe unusable. If your pipe isn't firing, stop pressing the switch immediately and try using a different atty.
The ePipeMods YouTube channel contains a library of helpful videos for your reference.

Rāmapāla Ramapala (reigned c. 1077–1120), the last important Pāla Pala king, did much to strengthen the dynasty in Bengal and expanded its power in Assam and Orissa; he is the hero of a Sanskrit historical poem, the Rāmacarita Ramacarita of SandhyākaraSandhyakara. On his death, however, the dynasty was virtually eclipsed by the rising power of the Senas, although Pāla though Pala kings continued to rule in southern Bihār Bihar for 40 years. The main capital of the Pālas Palas appears to have been Mudgagiri (Monghyrnow Munger) in eastern BihārBihar.
The Pālas Palas were supporters of Buddhism, and it was through missionaries from their kingdom that Buddhism was finally established in Tibet. Under Pāla Pala patronage a distinctive school of art arose, of which many noteworthy sculptures in stone and metal survive.

Q: Can the way the forest is managed, and what it is used for, change after it's entered in the Forest Legacy Program?
Yes. As long as the new use is compatible with the long-term sustainability of the forest, the forest stewardship plan can be amended.
Q: Can I build a house, or make other improvements within the easement area?
No. Any part of the property that you may want to use for improvements should be excluded from the easement area at the time the parcel enters the program.
Q: Will a conservation easement keep my property from being taken for a road or utility project?
No. The property is still subject to eminent domain, just as it is now. It is possible that project planners may make more effort to avoid a "conservation property" but that is not guaranteed.
Q: Can I change my mind and take a parcel out of the program after I've sold the development rights?
No. You will have sold a partial ownership of the property for a cash payment. You may sell or dispose of the remaining rights but the state will continue to hold a permanent easement on the property. Remember the goal of the program is to keep forests as forests; flexibility on this point defeats the purpose.
Q: Does participation in the Forest Legacy Program have any effect on other landholdings I have outside the conservation easement area?
Q: Where does the money come from to buy these conservation easements?
Up to 75% of the money comes from the United States Department of Agriculture as part of the Farm Bill. The other 25% must come from non-federal sources, either as cash or in-kind contributions.
Q: What are the benefits of the Legacy Program?
To the landowner:
To the Community:
Q: What are the disadvantages of the Forest Legacy Program?
To the Landowner:
To the Community:
Q: Who decided where the Forest Legacy Areas are located?
The State Forest Stewardship Coordinating Committee. This is a broad-based committee of about 50 members who are appointed by the State Forester.
Q: What factors were considered in choosing Forest Legacy Areas?
Two broad categories of factors were considered--natural resource values and demographic pressures. The State Forest Stewardship Coordinating Committee delineated Forest Legacy Areas in Indiana where they felt acquisition of development rights would be most effective in protecting threatened forest values. The Forest Legacy Program is in favor of sound, well-thought-out development that compliments the maintenance of vital, productive forests.
Q: When will the Forest Legacy Program be implemented in Indiana?
Nomination of parcels by their owners will begin in early 1999.
Q: Do I have to let the public use the easement area of my property for recreation?
No. You still control access to your property. The only required access is for monitoring by the Division of Forestry. However, if you choose to make your property available for public recreation as part of the easement, its priority for participation in the program may increase, depending on the local situation.
Q: Will participation in this program make my property more likely to be targeted for acquisition by the state or federal government for public land?
No. You will, however, still be able to offer the remaining rights to your property for fee simple purchase as public or private land if you choose. Attempts to acquire it as public land for conservation purposes may actually be less likely because it is already serving conservation purposes.
Q: Is there a size limit for parcels that can be in the program?
Under the Indiana criteria, a parcel must be large enough to be sustainable as a forest. This varies from area to area but rarely is less than 10 acres. Because of their unique values and scarcity in Indiana, very large forest ownerships (250+ acres) may receive higher priority than smaller parcels with the same qualities.
Q: How much will Forest Legacy pay for development rights?
The rights to be purchased on each easement will be appraised to determine fair market value. In no circumstances can the program pay more than the appraised value of the rights to be purchased. The landowner can choose to donate the rights or sell them at a bargain price, which provides tax benefits. Development rights may also make up a large portion of the total value of a property in areas with high development pressures but a much lesser part of total value in areas with less development pressure.
Q: Can Forest Legacy conservation easement areas be placed in the Classified Forest and Wildlands Program?
Q: Can existing Classified Forests be placed in the Forest Legacy Program?
Q: What can I do and not do within an easement area?
Under most easements acceptable uses include: timber harvesting, firewood cutting, gathering (fruits, roots herbs and mushrooms), hunting, other outdoor recreation (including non-permanent campsites), and production of non-timber forest produces (maple syrup, vines, etc.)
Under most easements unacceptable activities include: all buildings, fencing (except on the perimeter), grazing, mining or quarrying that requires surface disturbance, trash or refuse disposal.
Q: If I have already sold the mineral or gas/oil rights to my property to someone else, can I put the property in the Forest Legacy Program?
No, because this means someone else may already own the right to use all or part of the surface for some use other than forest.

Alan Parsons Project Sample Sparks Lawsuit Against Rapper Kendrick Lamar
Listen to The Alan Parsons Project Radio on iHeartRadio | Listen to Kendrick Lamar Radio on iHeartRadio
Kendrick Lamar's sample of an Alan Parsons Project song is getting the rapper in legal trouble.
The Hollywood Reporter says the management company in charge of songs by late Alan Parsons Project member Eric Woolfson is behind the lawsuit.
Woolfsongs Limited claims Lamar didn't get permission to sample the group's song "Old and Wise" for his track "Keisha's Song (Her Pain)." The song is on Lamar's 2011 album Section.80.
The company apparently tried to work out the matter with Lamar's camp back in April, but couldn't reach an agreement. The rapper's team eventually stopped responding to their calls. Woolfsongs Limited is suing for an undisclosed amount of damages.

Reparations Comedy Tour
Five conservative comedians will be converging on Delray Beach Thursday night.
Kevin Jackson, founder of the Black Sphere, heads up this group of comics who see things differently than the majority of comedians out there.
The black pundit and talk show host jokes with us that "Eric Holder assigned me four white comedians and I'm gonna go on tour with a whip and I'm gonna crack the whip."
Also in the audio below, Jackson tells us what he says to black people who call him an "Uncle Tom", because he finds himself on the right side of the political aisle.
The show features comedians Tim Wilkins, who does a spot-on Obama impersonation, Brad Stine, Tim Young and Evan Sayet.
The Reparations Comedy Tour stops at the Crest Theater at Old School Square in Delray Beach at 8:00 p.m. on Thursday.
