Peace On Blue Lake By David Mann Giclee On Canvas Artist Proof by David Mann David Mann.
David Mann s life focus has been his interest in the Native American culture, horses, and art. As a child, the artist collected any Remington and Russell prints he found along with books illustrated by Will James, Paul Brown, and Wesly Dennis. Mann knows his subjects well from studying the history and culture of the Western Indian tribes. Born in Utah, the artist lived among the Southwestern tribes during a two-year mission in New Mexico and Arizona. During his time with the San Carlos Apache, Navajo, and Pueblo tribes, Mann absorbed layers of meaning that give depth to the human stories he tells. This unforgettable and invaluable time spent with the Indians allowed the artist to experience first-hand the stories, dignity, and culture magic of their lives. Mann s paintings are alive in rich colors, remarkable illusion of day and moonlight, and energetic or quiet compositions. The artist seeks to capture the personal moment of truth and has the benefit of working with Indian and mountain men who model for him. Mann looks deeply into his subjects, envisioning the joys and sorrows that have contributed to the strength of a culture. The artist s paintings are known for careful attention to detail including clothing, saddles, jewelry, and the many other symbols and accoutrements that are part of his subjects cultures. The combination of heart and mind, and intellect and spirit is told in the dignified presence of the Native Americans featured in the historic settings in which the artist paints them. Mann s images portray the spirits of the historic, as well as the contemporary west, usually depicting moments in time rather than historical events when deeply rooted traditions provided spiritual and physical sustenance for the Native Americans. Mann s original paintings are highly collected. The artist participates in several annual art exhibits around the country; he has been the subject of numerous magazine articles.

This is the wallet made entirely from tough, wild elk skin. Valued for its long-lasting durability since Paleoamerican peoples first sought it for clothing, the elk leather used in this wallet comes from hides harvested by hunters in the wild. Certified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, each hide is vegetable-tanned to a silky smooth hand that preserves the original skin's imperfections and uneven, pebbled grain, resulting in a wallet that is truly unique. Stitched with reinforced French seams that lend strength and reliability, it has eight card slots, two interior pockets, and a bill fold pocket. A smaller 3 3/4" L x 3" W removable wallet includes three card slots and opens to reveal two ID windows. A feature only available in an elk wallet from Hammacher Schlemmer, the wallet's lining contains a multi-layered, coated tin foil that blocks attempts by hackers to read information from RFID-enabled credit cards. 4 1/2" L x 3 1/2" W x 1" D.

Great Purchase
By Brad
from Kansas City, MO
The elk-leather multi-fold wallet was a gift to my nephew who travels frequently. He immediately began to use the wallet and informed me that it was the softest and most flexible wallet he has ever owned. It was a great hit. Recommend highly.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good value, well designed
By John H
from Connecticut
Bought this on a Hammacher closeout. Pleasantly surprised by thinness, light weight and softness of leather. Extra inlay can be separated and used as a credit card clip or even as business card holder. Only thing I wish it had was two compartments for bills - there is only one and I like to keep my receipts separate. On other wallets I have had, the credit card pockets were not wide enough, resulting in stress on the wallet and premature wear. Each slot on this card easily holds two cards. Yet the wallet remains very thin. Overall, this is a very nice wallet for everyday use and currently is an exceptional value for the money.

Great Value
By First Chair
from Monroe, NJ
This item has been a real pleasure to use. I have been looking for a high quality wallet to replace my old, worn out one. It's a nice medium brown color and the pebbled texture feels great. My favorite feature is the removeable passcase. Not only does it have two inside slots for IDs, but it also has two outside slots for business cards, credit cards or even photos. You won't be dissappointed!

In this article
You can help your baby to sit by gently easing her legs apart to form a V-shape. This will help to give her the balance and stability she needs to sit without toppling over to one side. Once she can sit happily on her own and play, it's just a matter of time until she moves on to crawling, standing, and walking.
When will my baby be able to sit up by herself?Your baby will start to learn to sit at about the same time as she's managing to roll over and hold her head up. The muscles she needs to use develop gradually from birth, and she finally becomes strong enough to sit between four months and seven months.
By the time your baby is eight months old, she should be able to sit well without support (NHS 2013, Sheridan 2008). Nearly all babies can sit on their own by the time they are nine months old (NHS 2013, Sheridan 2008).
How will my baby learn to sit up?While you can prop your baby in a sitting position almost from day one, sitting independently doesn't begin until your baby has head control.
Three months to four months
Your baby's neck and head muscles are strengthening rapidly. From this time onwards, she'll learn to raise and hold her head up while she's lying on her tummy.
Next she'll figure out how to prop herself up on her arms and hold her chest off the floor, like a mini-push-up.
Five months to six months
Your baby will be able to sit well with support, holding her head up and her back straight (Sheridan 2008). Your baby may be able to sit for a moment without your help. Just make sure you stay nearby to provide support, or surround her with pillows to cushion a possible fall.
Soon she'll work out how to keep her balance while seated, by leaning forward on one or both arms.
Seven months to eight months
Your baby may be able to sit unsupported with her back straight. This will free her hands for exploring, and she'll learn how to turn when sitting to reach for a toy (Sheridan 2008).
At this point she may even be able to get into a sitting position from lying on her tummy by pushing up on her arms. By the time she's eight months old, she's likely to be sitting well without support (NHS 2013, Sheridan 2008).
Once my baby can sit, when will she start crawling?Once your baby works out how to lunge forward from a sitting position and balance on her hands and knees, she will be almost ready to crawl.
Crawling is a skill most babies get the hang of by the time they're a year old. She may be able to move forwards or backwards on all fours as soon as she's six months or seven months. But most babies don't learn to crawl for a few more months after that (NHS 2013, Sheridan 2008).
Once your baby can crawl, she'll be on the move all the time, bent on exploring all the fascinating new territory now open to her. Try to make your home as safe as possible before your little explorer gets going.
How can I encourage my baby to sit up?You can help your baby learn to sit by encouraging her to play lying on her tummy as much as possible. Try to get her to look up, by using colourful and noisy toys, or by pulling funny faces and making sounds (APCP nd, RFHT 2008).
Encouraging her to look up will help strengthen her head, shoulder, neck, and back muscles. Strengthening these muscles will help her to develop the head control she needs for sitting up (AAP 2011, APCP nd, FSID 2006, Kuo et al 2008, RFHNT 2008).
Once your baby can sit fairly well, put toys and other fun objects just out of her reach. They will hold her attention as she learns to balance herself with her arms.
As always, and especially when she's just learning to sit, be sure to stay close to your baby in case she falls.
Help your baby to sit and crawl
All babies learn to sit and crawl at different rates, but can you help your baby's physical development? Find out.More baby videos
My baby is nine months and still can't sit up. Should I be concerned?If your baby isn't able to sit independently by the time she's nine months old, mention it to your doctor or health visitor (NHS 2013). But try to remember that babies develop skills differently, some more quickly than others.
If your baby was born early (before 37 weeks of pregnancy), keep in mind that she may reach this and other milestones a little later than other babies (Hall and Elliman 2006).

Nick Jonas Signs Record Deal With Island Records
Listen to Nick Jonas Radio on iHeartRadio
UPDATE - Nick Jonas' new single is indeed called "Chains" and he just shared it with fans!
The Jonas Brothers have said their farewells as a music group and left that chapter behind. Nick Jonas, one of the three brothers in the music trio, is possibly making a third attempt to go solo.
Nick excels at singing, playing several instruments, and acting. Originally, before the JoBros were created, Nick was riding solo and his two brothers Joe and Kevin Jr., were his back up. Eventually, someone knew that the three should come together and form a music group. After signing to Colombia Records, the group then got into Disney and signing off with Hollywood Records—making them one of the biggest boy groups in the world in 2009. After the group's first 'split', it both left Nick and Joe to begin their solo careers. Turns out, things didn't go as planned, leaving the group to reunite, once again. The group then reunited and called it the quits last year. This time around, Nick might possibly be able to make it solo. Third time's the charm, right?
Despite his long journey, it's now time for Nick to get back into the game and do what he loves.
Nick's latest Instagram photo is of the ISLAND records logo along with a caption that says "Home. Here we go…" Now, it's only right for us to assume that he's signed a record deal with them and is ready to work on making some hits to come our way.
Nick may possibly release a single this week or next week. Rumor-has-it, the single is titled "Chains." Hmm, well that's an interesting title, isn't it? It's interesting to see what music route, he will take this time around. We've heard a lot of different sounds coming from the 21-year-old over the years.

Everyone makes mistakes. But when doctors, nurses, therapists, or dentists make them, the effects can last a lifetime. Patients have a right to expect that medical procedures will be properly performed. Medical malpractice attorneys represent you if you are injured by a healthcare provider's careless or accidental mistakes. For example, if a doctor leaves behind gauze in your body during surgery, resulting in an infected wound that requires even more surgery, the doctor committed medical malpractice. Medical malpractice attorneys can recognize injuries caused by mistakes; they know the most common mistakes that cause injuries, and they know how to find and present information useful to prove your case. Medical malpractice attorneys also know how much insurance is available if the health care provider is responsible for what happened to you.

text: Brooke Mueller is being sued by her former personal assistant. The assistant, Lior Masaphor worked for Brooke for four months in late 2012 to early 2013. He was paid $2400 each month to work for Brooke, but this is a job that you probably wouldn't want to have. He says in his complaint that he averaged about 130 hours per week of work so she owes him overtime. So far that sounds like most lawsuits filed by former assistants. What makes this one different is that in his complaint he says that Brooke made him go buy her drugs and then when he would come back with the drugs she would use them to the point of passing out, often with other people. He also says that she would use the drugs in front of her two sons. In addition to the drug use in front of her sons, the former assistant says that Brooke would engage in sex acts in front of her kids and in front of the assistant. There were multiple partners and multiple occasions that this happened and he wants money for pain and suffering and a hostile work environment. I don't know what this guy expected when he went to work for Brooke, but this is probably what I would expect. She was at the time this happened an out of control drug user who is never going to win parent of the year. Did he think he would just be getting her coffee? Balancing her checkbook? It is not like her work schedule was all that demanding. I think her days consisted of drugs and sex and trying to pretend she was a good mom so she could get her kids back. I wish this guy would have come forward when the judge was trying to decide whether to give the kids back to Brooke.

If you are completely new to Linux, the Backtrack is not not the platform you want to start learning. Backtrack is an advanced set of tools for specific users. Essentially, you don't know how to swim, you've just jumped into a deep area of the pool, and the aren't any lifeguards. Save yourself the drama, and try a package such as Ubuntu, and then come back to Backtrack when you have graduated beyond the basics.

(install and launch new version of kismet) (in french):
launch in command line, if you don't modify your kismet.conf
airmon-ng start rt73
kismet -c rt73,rausb0,Ralink
The publisher of the software you're using wants you to be able to use it. They really want you to figure it out, so they've written page upon page of documentation (seriously, read 'man tar' in one sitting, I dare you) to guide you. In Linux speak, readme means README, not DELETEME, as it does in English.
PS: I'll spoil the novel that is man tar: 'tar -xvf' is all you'll care about for a long time.
The problem with diving into the Linux world using one of the most advanced distros available is that most people will find it quite overwhelming to try to learn the basics of a completely new OS simultaneously as they are trying to get familiar with the new tools that are their main point of interest. In the end I believe that many a person will grow tired of trying to overcome the countless obstacles they will encounter and force them to give up completely.
By starting out with a more user friendly distribution they can on the other hand ease into the Linux world and when they finally make the transition to BT they will be able to concentrate on getting familiar with the penetration testing tools instead of trying to wrap their head around how to edit a .conf file or install new drivers or dependencies.
All of this being said, my first encounter with a Linux distribution of any kind was with Auditor from which I later on moved to BackTrack. As Aidan says this is therefore in no way an impossible route to take, but you will have to be prepared to grow a few grey hairs and do a lot of research on your own.
-Monkeys are like nature's humans.
If you learn to drive by hoping in an M1 Abrams tank, you'll learn how to drive, and to run over things, and you may even learn how to shoot targets while driving, but you're probably not going to know much about the rules of the road, and driving in normal traffic.
I stand by what I said: The original poster should save themselves the drama, and try a package such as Ubuntu, and then come back to Back|Track when they have graduated beyond the basics.

More miscellaneous ramblings
On a day when it's 38 degrees F (that's 3 Celsius to those of you keeping score in metric) at midday in Felton, I've locked myself in my office, turned on all the routers and switches and I'm mercilessly making the coffeemaker spew out gallon after gallon of hot water while making gallons of green tea.
Unlimited bathroom breaks — check.
So while I keep my keyboard warm with rapidly flying fingers, I wanted to bring up a couple of things, like
My good friend and former Santa Cruz Sentinel colleague Tom Dunlap has written an interesting blog item on Social Networking. It's worth a read — go ahead and click on the link. I'll wait. Tom touches on the point that social networking is not just for arranging parties anymore — the organizational and, yes, corporate element of social networking shouldn't be ignored, and some of the larger distros like Ubuntu and Fedora realize this.
Distro reviews are not movie reviews, thank you very much. Unlike the latter, which can be done as soon as the film ends, road testing a distro takes — or should take, anyway — a little more than a couple of hours. Hence, the reason I haven't given my review of Fedora 10 yet is that I'm not finished with it. Suffice it to say in a preview of the review that I have it on two machines and I have yet to find any flaw with it — this could be the best distro I've ever used. Ever. But then you'll have to wait and see why when I write my review.
Lindependence goes overseas: Okay, save all those outsourcing jokes, but I've gotten an inquiry about holding a Lindependence event in Mumbai, India, which I am pursuing with all diligence. I'm not going there, but it would be great to have an event outside the confines of the U.S. of A., as well as a testament of the reach of giving people a choice in their digital pursuits.

For stock purpose I was hoping two phones would be released. But now is a good time to buy. I have a feeling all of the people complaining that this phone is not worth upgrading to wither buy all of their phones for full market retail without contract or have no idea how a subsidized phone contract works. Juding by most posts I am going to guess the latter.
Speaking for those of us that have a life outside of cell phones - I don't see why everyone is so pissy. The iPhone4 is what, a year old? What do you expect in the span of a year? I know technology moves fast these days, but judging by some of the comments here and in the media, people need to get a grip. It's like people have money burning a hole in their pocket and they're upset they don't have a reason to drop $200 - $300 on a phone in the span of a YEAR. It's still an improvement over the IP4. I'm sure they're working on the IP5, or whatever the next big thing is. Don't like it? Don't buy it! The amount of ******** and whining on this forum is off the charts.
apple and the 4S can go to H-E-double-hockey-sticks!
Definitely seems like there is a mixed bag of opinions. I personally have two iPhone 4's and I'll be upgrading one line but preserving another. I think the announcement was underwhelming for many because of all the rumors and speculations that were circulating. The iPhone 4S does seem to be a worthy upgrade from the original iPhone 4 however. Some people in here did make some very compelling arguments though.
For all of you ******** and moaning ffs get a life. IF you don't want the 4s then move on to another device that you think will fit your needs better. You all sound like a bunch of 3 year olds that didn't get what they wanted for Christmas! Grow the **** up and stop whining like little *******. I would of loved to have a bigger screen but I'm perfectly happy with my i4 and will be even more happy with a 4s. Plus I get an upgrade every year so I'll be getting the 5 or 6 (what ever they will call it). Plus I'm not a poor sap and also know how to budget my money so would be picking up the next phone no matter if I had an upgrade or not.
For those of you calling this a minor speed bump.... pull your head out of your ***. The 4s is a quantum leap above the 4. Someone even broke it down (the difference between 3gs to 4 and 4 to 4s) and the 4s is better than the 4 in every aspect. PLUS all of you threatening to move to another device, please do, that way you won't have to post her crying like a baby about what Apple didn't give you. So move on NOW please..... go to your favorite droid phone's forum and whine about the new kick *** 4s on their forum and let THEM know your moving to phone X. They will be happy to tell you how shitty the 4s is/is going to be, even though it's just not gonna pan out to be true. It's not all about the specs little cry babies, it's about specs plus os integration which IMHO the iPhone pulls off in an awesome way. SO don't let the door hit you in the *** on the way out.
All of you clowns believed the rumors from China yet again lol. Be thankful for what you get or don't buy it. Apple isn't going to crumble because of our opinions.
Looks like I'm gonna keep my i4 and buy a a new case and some screen protectors and some apps
Quite frankly, I'm mega disappointed with Apple. 16 months and all they did was put an A5 processor (which exists since March in the market) and an 8MP camera (which most new Android phones are getting)?? Oh, and that Siri business is useless for me because I live in a Spanish-speaking country, and I'd look stupid talking in English to my phone while everyone looks at me asking: wtf is he doing?...
I've been using the iPhone since the 2G, and i had them all (fanboy)... i recently traded my white iPhone 4 for an Infuse 4G + $... I planned on using it until apple announced the new iPhone just to try out Android...After using the Infuse (1st Android device) for a little over a week, i can't go back to the iPhone, iOS just seems boring to me now... I feel like i can do anything on my Infuse, and the huge screen is a +, i love it.I'll be saving my upgrade for the Nexus Prime.

Status of Sanction Clocks under the Clean Air Act Updated 9/10/15
Section 179 of the Clean Air Act (42 USC 7509) requires automatic sanctions when:
Sanctions must be applied unless the deficiency is corrected within 18 months after the finding or disapproval. Highway sanctions are used for purposes of enforcing deadlines for SIP submittals and the implementation of approved SIP measures or elements required under the CAA. Sanctions are intended to induce States to develop strategies to attain the air quality standards. There are two sanctions required by Section 179 (42 USC 7509) .
18 months after the finding or disapproval, the offset sanction is imposed. The offset sanction is related to the fact that owners of new or expanded stationary sources of a pollutant for which an area is in nonattainment must "offset" their increased emissions by reducing existing emissions by at least the amount of the increase. This requirement is related to air quality since it prevents economic development from increasing emissions in areas that are already violating the air quality standards. In areas that are not sanctioned, offsets are required on a sliding scale from 1.1 to 1 in cleaner nonattainment areas to 1.5 to 1 in the dirtier nonattainment areas. However, offset sanction requires new or expanded stationary sources to reduce emissions by 2 tons for every 1 ton of emission growth. Because offsets are expensive and difficult to obtain, this is a very serious penalty.
If the deficiency is not corrected within 6 months of the imposition of the offset sanction, highway sanctions are imposed. The highway sanction is a prohibition on Federal funds for transportation projects within an area, except for certain safety, transit, and air quality beneficial projects. This sanction could be air quality related in an area that is nonattainment for transportation related pollutants, but is intended primarily as an economic incentive to SIP submission. Therefore, highway sanctions could be imposed even when the SIP deficiency is not transportation related. Sanctions apply for all types of nonattainment areas, including those without transportation-related pollutant problems.
These automatic sanctions imposed under Section 179 (42 USC 7509) apply only in nonattainment areas. They do not apply in attainment or maintenance areas. EPA does have the option, under Section 110(m) (42 USC 7410(m)) of the Clean Air Act, to apply discretionary sanctions more widely.
Section 110(m) (42 USC 7410(m)) of the Clean Air Act allows EPA to apply sanctions at any time, or any time after, making a finding, disapproval, or determination that some CAA provision has not been met, and also allows those sanctions to be applied to any portion of a State that EPA finds reasonable to ensure that CAA requirements are met. The only restriction is that EPA may not apply sanctions statewide for two years when a political subdivision is responsible for the failure to comply with the law. After two years, EPA can sanction an entire State for the failing of a single city, and it can sanction at any time a whole state for the failure of a state agency or entity, such as the State legislature.
The imposition of statewide sanctions is subject to notice and comment in the Federal Register.
On March 11, 1996 the FHWA released a guidance document entitled "FHWA Sanction Exemption Criteria" and this memo defines the exemption criteria that will be used to determine which projects can go forward and which grants may be awarded in the event EPA imposes highway sanctions under Section 179(b) (42 USC 7509) or Section 110(m) (42 USC 7410(m)) of the Clean Air Act. The policy information identifies which categories of highway projects are exempt from highway sanctions, such as safety, environmentally-beneficial, and planning and research activities funded under Title 23 of United States Code (Federal-aid Highway Program). The EPA and DOT have agreed that additional programs such as TCMs in EPA-approved SIPs, inspection and maintenance facilities, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, carpool/vanpool programs, and conversion of existing lanes for HOV use during peak periods are also categorically exempt during EPA highway sanctions. Additional information may be obtained via the guidance memorandum which was published in the Federal Register on April 1, 1996 (61 FR14363).
Highway sanctions, when applied, halt the approval of projects and the award of any grants funded under Title 23, United States Code, except as for those types of projects, such as safety projects, that are defined in the Clean Air Act. This applies to the following major funding programs:
Projects funded under all other Title 23 programs and other authorizations are also subject to sanctions, including High Priority Projects identified by Congress. Projects funded under Title 49, U.S.C. chapter 53, the Federal Transit Act, as amended, are categorically exempt from sanctions by law as are other transportation programs authorized by statutes other than Title 23.
The following types of projects generally do not meet the exemption criteria of the Clean Air Act and would be subject to highway sanctions. These include projects that expand highway capacity, nonexempt project development activities, and any other project that does not explicitly meet exemption criteria. These may include activities for:
Under section 179(b)(1) of the CAA (42 USC 7509) , once EPA imposes highway sanctions, the Federal Highway Administration may not approve or award any grants in the sanctioned area except those that are specifically exempted. These exempted projects fall under three categories:
Safety projects are those for which the principal purpose is an improvement in safety but the projects may also have other important benefits. These projects must resolve a demonstrated safety problem with the likely result being a significant reduction in or avoidance of accidents as determined by the FHWA. Such demonstration must be supported by accident or other data submitted by the State or appropriate local government. Examples of projects generally exempt from highway sanctions include Emergency Relief (ER) projects, statewide safety improvement programs, and programs administered by NHTSA.
Justification for an exemption on the grounds of safety must be based on accident or other data. Projects exempted under the safety provision may not involve substantial functional (such as upgrading major arterial to freeways), locational, or capacity changes except when the safety problem could not otherwise be solved.
Seven project types are identified specifically in the CAA section as exempt from highway sanctions. They include:
Transportation programs not otherwise exempt that improve air quality and which would not encourage SOV capacity (as determined by EPA in consultation with DOT) are also exempt from highway sanctions.
The EPA and DOT have agreed that the following projects will be categorically exempt from highway sanctions, and will not require additional EPA review or an individual finding by EPA:
The following projects are likely to have virtually no environmental impacts, provide other aesthetic benefits, do not promote SOV capacity, and are, therefore considered exempt from highway sanctions:
Planning and research activities for transportation and/or air quality purposes are exempt from highway sanctions. Such planning and research is critical for the development of projects that improve safety and address an area's transportation/air quality needs.
Development and completion of studies to meet requirements under NEPA are exempt from highway sanctions as long as consideration of projects that would be exempt under this policy memorandum, such as transit or other Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures, are actively pursued as reasonable independent alternatives. Once all alternatives that could be considered exempt from highway sanctions under this policy memorandum are eliminated, project development activities for NEPA or other purposes are no longer exempt and can no longer be approved or funded under Title 23. For example, if prior to completion of NEPA documentation, all TDM measures are eliminated from consideration and the sole remaining question is the determination of an alignment for a highway capacity-expanding project (which may include TDM), subsequent project development activities are not exempt from highway sanctions.
The FHWA may not approve preliminary engineering for final design of a project, nor can approval be granted for a project's plans, specifications, and estimates after initiation of highway sanctions for projects that are not exempt from sanctions. Neither right-of-way nor any necessary equipment may be purchased or leased with Federal funds for nonexempt projects while an area is under sanction. Federally-funded construction may not in any way begin on a project that is not exempt while an area is under sanction.
There are two separate legislative requirements for conformity and sanctions under the CAA. The above sections discuss the sanctions provisions.
The conformity provisions of the of the CAA require that the MPO and the U.S. DOT determine the conformity of transportation plans and transportation improvement programs (TIPs) with State air quality plans. A conformity lapse results from the failure to establish conformity within required time frames or the failure to meet emissions budgets or to pass one of the conformity tests. Unlike sanctions, a conformity lapse occurs immediately, if the requirements are not met. When a conformity lapse occurs, only limited types of projects can proceed. And, unlike highways sanctions, conformity lapses affect transit capactiy projects and regionally significant non-Federal projects.
For more information regarding transportation conformity, please visit our conformity website.

EPA Regulations on Sanctions (40 CFR Chapter 1 '52.30 - 52.32)

One of the problems with working a show like the Southern California Linux Expo SCALE 11X is that I am "working the show," meaning I don't get out to see talks or the exhibit floor or much of what makes SCALE 11X the great show that it is. Being the publicity traffic cop that guides reporters to various speakers and exhibitors while posting scores of social media posts and web page updates leaves yours truly with time to do little else. This is not a complaint, but rather an excuse for not having a more comprehensive report from the show.
I did, however, get to lead the CrunchBang Birds of a Feather session — a meetup of the curious and those who use CrunchBang, held on Saturday evening. The gathering of about 20 people — no more than five who either have used or currently use CrunchBang (me excluded) — attended and after my short presentation, a discussion about the advantages of different window managers atop Debian (Openbox is still the general favorite), when Waldorf will become official (when Wheezy does), and other discussions about what tweaks one can do to their CrunchBang install.
Once again, because no one volunteered to staff the CrunchBang booth at SCALE 11X last weekend in Los Angeles, I had to withdraw it (as mentioned before, because I work for SCALE I couldn't staff it). But CrunchBang was well represented anyway at SCALE 11X both through the Birds of a Feather session and Philip Banks' item as part of his blog, "20 Days of SCALE."
So looking ahead to other shows in North America, we'll definitely be setting up shop in Bellingham, Washington, with a booth at Linux Fest Northwest at the end of April, where I've also submitted a talk about CrunchBang (the best distro you've never heard of). Then it's off to Austin, Texas, for Texas Linux Fest at the end of May, with the remote — remote — possibility of my actually boarding a plane (providing government officials allow me to) and flying to Charlotte, North Carolina, for SELF — that's SouthEast LinuxFest (Linux in the GNU South — always loved that motto!) in June.
If you're going to one of these shows and you think you can put in some time at the CrunchBang table, e-mail me at lcafiero-at-lavabit-dot-com.

Except for the dandelions, the lawns are dying. Even some of the region's native bushes could use some water.
The month of July was dry, save for a sprinkle on July 17 with a mere .03-inch of rain.
The long stretch of mostly sunny summer days came to an end Wednesday.
Today, a 30 percent chance of rain is predicted by the National Weather Service office in Seattle, meteorologist Jay Neher said.
Friday morning also could be rainy, but afternoon sun breaks are expected, Neher said.
People with weekend plans for Seafair, the Mukilteo Waterfront Art Festival, Jetty Island, the AquaSox or the Stanwood-Camano Community Fair can relax in anticipation of partly sunny skies Saturday and a mostly sunny Sunday, with temperature highs mainly in the 70s, Neher said.
So far, it's been a much drier year than it was in 2012 up to this point, he said.
Normal rainfall through July is close to 20 inches, Neher said. In 2012, precipitation up to Aug. 1 was about 26 inches. This year, we've accumulated 18 inches.
Looking ahead to next week, the forecast calls for morning clouds and afternoon sunshine on most days.
"That's it as of now, but stay tuned," Neher said.
"We do live in the Northwest."

I'm always tremendously skeptical about a tool that claims to "change how work is done" as Festool does for its plunge-cutting 8-1/4-inch, 13-amp TS 75 EQ circular saw system. But after testing the TS 75 EQ, the company's newest and largest saw, I believe every word of it.
The TS 75 EQ excels at making precise straight cuts. It's not a framing saw, and it doesn't pretend to be; but this precise saw and guide will change the way you make long clean cuts on site. At the heart of the system is its aluminum guide rail that the saw base fits onto with zero play. A rubber strip along the guide's edge is cut to a perfect fit with the saw's first use and thereafter serves as an exact, splinter-free cut line–where you lay the edge is where you get your cut. The guide rail doesn't have to be clamped down; grippy material underneath holds it in place. Guide rails are available in eight lengths from 32 inches to 16 feet, 5 inches and also can be connected together.
Another major difference of the TS 75 EQ is its plunge-cutting action. The guard stays in place while the motor and blade descend to a preset depth stop–adjustable in 1-millimeter increments or as small as .1 millimeters with the addition of a set screw–before being pushed forward. This allows the saw to cut in the middle of a workpiece. Lines on the side of the saw mark the back and front cutting limits of a fully plunged blade. Before plunging, a plastic stop can be fixed to the guide behind the saw base to make absolutely sure it doesn't move back past your rear mark, and the attached riving knife is spring-loaded so it can even be used in plunge cuts.
A plastic splinter guard mounted to the saw contacts the exposed side of the blade's teeth where they exit the wood, opposite the rubber strip, but must be removed for beveled cuts. And when bevel cutting, the angle is locked in with knobs fore and aft of the blade, unlike most other saws I've seen that have just a single locking point.
The third major difference with this saw is that the pivot point is designed to put the inboard cutting edge in the exact same place when vertical or tilted, so the guide edge is always accurate, regardless of the bevel angle.
The most crucial part of my field-testing was cutting 2-inch-thick cherry countertops for a kitchen remodel; the cherry needed a smooth cut that didn't burn or chip, and the cuts had to be dead on. I was nervous making my first cut–it was disconcerting to realize that I couldn't see the blade cutting the line through all of the splinter guarding–but I decided to trust the guide rail. The cuts were perfect, even with the finished side up.
Another example where this tool changed my way of working was site-cutting 3/4-inch birch plywood to make built-in cabinets. It made this process a one-man job because there was no need to wrestle 4x8 sheets through a table saw. Although, unlike a table saw, repetitive cuts must be individually marked and lined up carefully each time, unless you are cutting through stacked sheets.
This saw can be aimed freehand along a line or with an accessory rip fence like most circular saws, but all of the cuts I made used the guide rail–it's really most effective as a system, not just a saw.
The supplied 8-1/4-inch blade cuts wood, and specialty blades are available to smoothly cut solid surfacing, laminate flooring, and different metals and plastics; however, a 30-millimeter arbor prevents the use of most non-system blades with the saw. Its electronic variable-speed control (1,350?3,550 rpm) optimizes cutting in different materials. Cutting depth ranges from to 2-1/8 inches at 45 degrees to 2-3/4-inch vertical cuts with the guide rail, and as deep as 21-5/16 inches without. A unique feature of the saw is a lever on the body that locks the motor spindle to allow easier removal of the blade. And even though it's a large saw, the TS 75 EQ is well balanced and isn't too heavy at 13.6 pounds.
The Verdict
Festool's claim is accurate: The TS 75 EQ did change how I work. I will use it if more space is needed for on-site or one-person work that I would otherwise do with a table saw or a sliding miter saw. But it won't replace my traditional circ saw for framing and other cuts that are impractical with a plunging blade and a guide.

Ed Sheeran's Ex Nina Nesbitt Talks Breakup Song
Listen to Ed Sheeran Radio on iHeartRadio
One of Ed Sheeran's ex-girlfriends is providing some insight into a track off his chart-topping album "Multiply." Scottish singer-songwriter Nina Nesbitt says she's the subject of Ed's breakup song titled, "Nina."
In an interview with Daily Record, she says Ed did warn her that he'd be using their relationship for material on his sophomore album. She says she was made aware that there was a song, but "didn't know it was going on the album."
Nina adds that she's "not really bothered" by it, explaining that they dated "quite a long time ago" and that it turned out to be "a good song."
Another breakup song is featured on Ed's new album. "Don't" is rumored to have been written about fellow British singer Ellie Goulding.

This is the electric waffle iron that cooks a Belgian waffle and an omelet simultaneously. The device has two separate forms (one for eggs and another for waffle batter) that heat to different temperatures and rotate 180ş, producing crisp, evenly browned waffles and tender, airy omelets. The unit cooks 6 1/2"-diameter x 1"-thick Belgian waffles with 1"-deep pockets that hold syrup, whipped cream, or fruit compote, while the 1"-high omelets are large enough to hold veggies, ham, and cheese. When it's time to rotate the iron or the waffles and omelets are cooked to one of the six separate browning levels, the unit beeps and illuminates LEDs. The non-stick forms can be cleaned easily with a damp cloth. 15 1/2" L x 9 3/4" W x 9 1/3" H. (10 1/2 lbs.)

4 Stars for waffles...

Best Uses
Worked beautifully for the waffles, but not so much for the omelet as the omelets seemed to "over brown" no matter what setting was used. Had I known, I would've purchased just a waffle iron. 4 stars for the waffle iron, but only 2 stars for the omelet maker.

Great product! Waffles come out perfect every time. Omelets are brown, but tasty. Very easy to clean.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Neagle lifts Sounders past Chivas USA
The Sounders came into the match missing several top players as Obafemi Martins was unavailable due to injury, Clint Dempsey and Eddie Johnson were on international duty with the U.S. team and Leonardo Gonzalez also missed the match due to suspension after receiving a red card last week.
Despite being without three of their top attacking options, it was the home side that was on the front foot early, keeping possession almost exclusively in the Chivas half of the field and generating several chances.
The pressure paid off in the 24th minute when Marc Burch whipped a free kick into the area from the right side of the pitch. Neagle got free behind the Goats' backline and fired it home with an acrobatic finish for his sixth goal of the season.
Chivas failed to create many quality scoring chances, but almost came up with an equalizer in the 79th minute when Edgar Mejia swung a well-struck free kick into the Seattle penalty area and Mario de Luna got his head on it, but directed the shot just wide of the left post.
The result keeps Seattle in fine form as the club has won six of its last seven matches to pull even with second-place Los Angeles on 43 points. Chivas, meanwhile, saw its modest two-game unbeaten run come to an end.

By Super Awesome Sylvia and her dad, James
Today we'll show you how to make your own groovy lava lamp, no heat required! All you need are a few things you just might have in your kitchen. Lets go!
For this groovy build, we'll need:
- Powdered sodium sicarbonate (baking soda) and powdered citric acid (from the canning section at the grocery store) or, some fizzy antacid tablets [more expensive, but easier to find])
- Clean empty bottle (plastic or glass)
- Water based food coloring
- Vegetable oil (at least as much as your bottle holds)
- Water
- Funnel (optional, but really useful)
Subscribe to the MAKE Podcast in iTunes, download the m4v video directly, or watch it on YouTube and Vimeo.
First, take your bottle and fill it with about three centimeters of water (you don't have to be exact). Then take your funnel and while tipping the bottle, carefully and slowly fill it with oil to just near the top (not too high though), making sure it doesn't bubble too much. Don't worry if it mixes a bit, it'll separate eventually. Oil and water just don't mix!
So, why don't oil and water like to mix? Oil and water are made up of molecules, little groups of elements bonded together. Water molecules have one big oxygen atom, and two little hydrogen atoms. These give each side an opposite charge, making it a "polar" molecule. Polar molecules love to stick to other polar molecules. Oil is made up of carbon and cydrogen atoms formed into what are called hydrocarbon chains. The oil molecule's charge is spread out, so it's a "non-polar" molecule. Non-polar molecules like to stick to other non-polar molecules (but not as strongly as polar ones).
When a water molecule and a oil molecule come together, oil is what's called, hydrophobic (it's scared of water!). Because the oil is non-polar, it has no attraction to the water molecules, and they just don't stick to each other. Water is also a lot more dense, so the oil sits on top of the water happily.
Back to the build, take your food coloring, and put about four to eight drops in. Watch as the drops fall through the oil as perfect little spheres. As soon as the drops hit the barrier between the oil and the water, they will either sit happily on the water's surface tension for a bit, or they'll pop and color the water immediately. If you're using powdered ingredients, take equal parts of baking soda and citric acid, mix them together, then spoon them into the bottle. If you're using antacid tablets, break them up a bit, then drop them in. Wow, Look at it go!
The sodium bicarbonate and citric acid only react in the water. As soon as they get there, they let off tons of little carbon dioxide bubbles that each grab their own bubble of colored water as they breach the oil/water barrier on the way up. These "double bubbles" fly up through the oil, then hit the surface, where the CO2 bubble pops, allowing the water drop to fall back down, and the whole cycle begins again. Amazing!
Remember: don't put a cap on the bottle till the reaction is complete, otherwise pressure will build up and give you a nasty surprise when you open it later. Once it's done, you can put the lid on and store it for as long as you want, and when you're ready, just drop in some more fizzy stuff and enjoy the show! As an added bonus you can also put a light underneath, add some sparkles, or anything else that's fun and buoyant.
That's all we've got for this episode, remember to experiment with different colors and baking soda/citric acid mix ratios, show your friends, and get out there and MAKE something!

So its ok for Mike because you understand his reasons......What about Allens reasons? Maybe he also has, what you would deem a valid reason?
Not sticking up for Allen but surely you should treat both fighters with the same open mind?
And your comment about my "ground game coming along"? Why would it be coming along? Surely I have to actively work on it to improve?
And keep up my friend, I have had 2 fights since you first mentioned my ground game in my thread that you clearly misconstrued
Just read your training blog.......surely your trolling it? Come on be honest

Werent you supposed to be fighting K1 tonight but pulled out injured due to fighting mma last night ???
Others might respect you for taking all these fights but in my opinion you mainly care about money and not the sport as if you did you would avoid the big names and fight your own level and work your way up like everyone else.
The Pete Irving fight has been in the pipeline for a while now and another fight taken at such short notice.
So Pete now doesn't get paid due to someone else's bad decision making and greed?! what is MMA coming to. Normally I respect Dan for getting in there are offering a solution to alot of show's late pull outs but that is taking the biscuit.
Was there anything in the contract that stipulated no fight within a certain period?
Got a problem? Odds against you? Call the Equalizer
Me fighting pro has no relevance to my background in Thai. I thought as a pro in Thai yes but didn't start as a pro in MMA. I have fought at all levels in MMA (am,semi,NSAC and pro).
My ground game is better than most people think (granted I know I don't always showcase this lol). I am sure the likes of Jay Furness and James Saville will vouch for that. I have been the distance with people with good ground skills and have finished fights by submission. I actually started my pro MMA career with a fight team. It was MY choice to fight independently.
Unfortunately is doesn't come down to respect for the sport for me. I do what I do for a reason and that reason will stay my priority until my situation chances. I wish that wasn't the case but it is. I don't want nor need respect for what I do. It is what it is! There will always be a need for people like me in this game, its a shame but its true. The sport isn't in the state its in because of me though.
If i could train twice a day, select fights sensibly and make a career out of it I WOULD!(but life isnt that simple)
Oh...and most of my fights are scheduled well in advance....short notice ones just fill gaps (I like to help promoters out)
The Equalizer-
Its not as black and white as that mate.
Both fights have been planned for some time, the one last night was actually booked first. I won the fight quickly but unfortunately knocked an old injury.
The injury got worse over night. I contacted the promoter first thing to let him know. I was actually planning to still fight once I had it checked out hoping I could have a quick fix. The promoter needed an answer there and then as Pete was travelling from London so I had no choice but to pull out.
I am gutted I had to do that. Not something I make a habit of and its a shit feeling when you have to do that.
Me taking 2 fights has nothing to do with greed, nor making bad decisions. I fight most weekends, I have fought consecutive days and even more than one fight on the same day and this hasn't happened.......It was just bad luck this happened and unfortunately both the promoter and Pete have suffered.
This certainly wasn't intentional I am truely sorry to all it has effected!!!
And no contract was signed

"Identity Thief" steals overqualified cast's time (and the audience's)
Published Feb. 8, 2013
"Identity Thief" is ugly because of the way it treats its characters, its cast and, by the film's end, its audience. When it's not ugly, it's frustrating, and when it's not frustrating, it's merely dull. The new comedy is a lot of things; funny is unfortunately not one of them.

Jonas Brothers react to birth of Kevin's daughter
Listen to The Jonas Brothers on iHeartRadio
The Jonas Brothers are welcoming a new addition to the family. Sunday brought the birth of Kevin Jonas' first child - a daughter named Alena Rose Jonas.
Kevin live-tweeted his wife Danielle's long day of labor. He later wrote that he's already "so in love" with his daughter.
Kevin seems to have the full support of his brothers behind him, despite having split up musically last year. On Saturday, the Jonas family held a memorial for their recently passed grandfather.
Kevin's brother Joe tweeted:
As one life ends, another begins. Incredibly happy to be an uncle for the first time. Welcome to this world my beautiful niece.
— joe jonas (@joejonas) February 2, 2014
Youngest brother Nick added that he "can't wait" to meet his new niece.
My grandfathers memorial was yesterday. Today we welcome a new addition to the jonas family. God is great. Can't wait to meet my new niece.

Brevard, N.C.-The Lenoir-Rhyne Bears swept a doubleheader from the Brevard College Tornados on Saturday afternoon, rallying for a 3-1 win in the opener before taking the second game 5-1 on BC's Senior Day.
Game 1: L-R 3, Brevard 1
The Bears scored two runs in the top of the 7th to break a 1-1 tie and earn the win in the opener.
Lenoir-Rhyne's Jody Mizelle lifted a two-run homer over the left field fence with one out in the top of the 7th after Brittany Coursen reached on an error.
BC senior Kayla Clemens (L, 4-12), who gave the Tornados a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the 1st with a solo homer, threw a complete game in the circle. The righty allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out eight.
The Bears tied the game at 1-1 when L-R's Chelsea Long delivered a sacrifice fly with one out in the top of the 3rd.
Game 2: L-R 5, Brevard 1
Lenoir-Rhyne scored three runs over the final two innings, solidifying their lead in the late innings to earn the sweep.
The Tornados got a run back in the bottom of the 6th on a Heather Morris double to right center that made it 4-1, but BC couldn't push any more runs across against L-R starter Brandi Hole (W, 14-7).
L-R capitalized on a BC throwing error in the top of the 2nd to take a 1-0 lead, and added another run on a wild pitch in the top of the 3rd.
Alyssa Miller (L, 3-6) made the start for the Tornados, but allowed four unearned runs on four Brevard fielding errors over 5.2 innings. Clemens tossed the final 1.2 innings for BC, also allowing an unearned run on a BC error in the 7th.
The Tornados are back in action on Wednesday as they visit Winston-Salem State for a doubleheader beginning at 2 p.m.
