Brevard, N.C. - Brittany Tucker had a pair of hits and Kayla Clemens drove a double as the Tornados hosted the Trojans in their South Atlantic Conference home opener on Tuesday afternoon, but Anderson proved to be victorious in both contests, sweeping Brevard on the BC Softball field, 3-0 and 8-0.
Brevard falls to 10-14, 1-3 SAC on the season, while Anderson improves to 22-4, 3-1 in conference action.
Game One: Anderson 3, Brevard 0
Box Score
Danielle Swygert drove in two runs in the first game of the doubleheader to pace the visiting Trojans over the Tornados in support of Larissa Ostapiak shutout on the mound as Anderson opened the afternoon with the 3-0 victory.
The Trojans plated a run in the first inning of the contest as Jessica Neidigh scored on a passed ball to put Anderson on the board.
Anderson added runs in both the fifth and the seventh frames as well as Swygert singled in Rebecca Martin for the second run and doubled in Neidigh for the third run to provide the Trojans all the runs they needed against the Tornados in the contest.
Brevard threatened to break the shutout in the bottom of the seventh as Clemens led off the inning with a double to centerfield. The Tornados loaded the bases with two outs as Emily Boykin and Brittany Fowler drew walks, but Brevard was unable to break the shutout in falling to the Trojans.
Game Two: Anderson 8, Brevard 0 (5 inn.)
Box Score
The Trojans plated runs in each of the five innings in the contest and Amber Duncan pitched a two-hitter for the guests as Anderson recorded the conference sweep over the Tornados.
Bri Cason and Duncan provided the majority of the damage in the contest, driving in three runs apiece, while Abby Child scored three times in the contest for Anderson. Chelsi Mallory and Brittany Jones recorded singles for the Tornados offense in the contest as Brevard falls to 1-3 in SAC play on the year.
Brevard remains at home as they stay in South Atlantic Conference play by welcoming Lincoln Memorial University to the BC Softball Field on Saturday, March 17th. First pitch between the Tornados and the Railsplitters is set for 1 p.m.

You can donate to our Kool Kettle online with a simple click here!
The Twin Cities Salvation Army serves more than 214,000 people a year through its 25 local centers of operation. Daily it serves 2,100 hot meals and shelters 900 people. More than 33,000 local volunteers help The Salvation Army provide these and other services, from child daycare to senior housing.
Kool Bell Ringer Of The Day (12/20): Lanny Boyer - Maplewood Mall East door by Barnes and Noble from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. - Talk about a bell ringing enthusiast - that is Lanny Boyer. He signs up for 20 -two-hour sessions each season and is determined to devise more ways to get others to ring a bell - why? - because as Lanny tells it, "This is the greatest thing that has happened to me - I would pay you to let me ring." He says people don't understand all they will get out of ringing a bell - meeting people - having people tell him stories of how the Army helped or just thanking him for ringing. He says that he's got at least 20 ideas to get more people ringing - especially the retired folks in good health - One idea is to have people ring in memory or in honor of someone - he says they do that with Poinsettias at church and do you ever see how many poinsettias there are in front of church? After Christmas Lanny and I are going out to lunch - can't wait to hear his ideas or his stories of bell ringing adventures.
Jeff Olsen's Bell Ringing Record Has Been Broken: Tiga Stevens started ringing a bell at the St Cloud Coborn's at 11 am on Thursday and didn't stop until Friday night at 11 pm - setting a brand new Minnesota Record for Bell Ringing at 36 hours.
Jeff Olsen Interviews Tiga
Tiga Stevens had special reasons to be ringing a bell - When she moved to Minnesota from Chicago she was not able to find work and ended up living in a Salvation Army shelter. Soon The Salvation Army was able to help Tiga move into an apartment and she starts a new job today.

It stands for Illinois Regional Archives Depository, a statewide records management system that divides the state into seven regions and helps you access genealogical records.
IRAD is just one of the Illinois resources Thomas MacEntee will introduce you to in our Illinois Genealogy Crash Course webinar, Wednesday, Sept. 21, at 7 p.m. Eastern (6 Central, 5 Mountain, 4 Pacific).
MacEntee, a Chicagoan, creator of the GeneaBloggers website, and author of the November 2011 Family Tree Magazine Chicago research guide, will cover important Illinois history, including migration patterns:
"From 1800 to 1840, many migrated to southern Illinois from Kentucky, Tennessee, the Carolinas and Virginia," he says. "After 1830, they came to central Illinois from Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The period from 1840 to 1920 saw a flow of immigrants to the Chicago area. A great migration of African-Americans from the South to Chicago and other northern cities took place from 1920 to 1970."
You'll also get information on essential Illinois records, including the marriage return, and other websites where you can do research on ancestors from the Land of Lincoln.
Be sure to take advantage of our Early Bird special, which saves you $10 off your Illinois Genealogy Crash Course webinar registration.

But less than 1 percent of Egypt's modern-day residents belong to this haplogroup, according to iGENEA, and it's unknown how King Tut's ancestors got to Egypt. The company is hoping its search for King Tut's closest living male relatives will lead to an answer. If you order a test from iGENEA and match King Tut on 16 markers, the site promises your money back and a free upgrade.

Aliquot parts is an important element in the public land survey system (PLSS), also called the rectangular survey system, which was used to survey and divvy up land starting shortly after the Revolutionary War.
States with land surveyed under the PLSS, called Public Land States, are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
That's everything except the original 13 states, Maine, Vermont, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas and Hawaii. (Parts of Ohio were surveyed with the old metes-and-bounds system, too.)
The PLSS established principal meridians—imaginary north-south lines—to serve as the starting point for surveying each 24x24-mile tract. A tract is divided into 16 townships; townships (23,040 acres) contain 36 sections, each 1 square mile (640 acres), like this:
A section could be split into halves, quarters or other parts. A description of your ancestor's subdivision on a land record might look like N½ SW¼, which you'd read as "the north half of the southwest quarter."
Here's an example of how land might be divided and described in aliquot parts:
This free FamilyTreeMagazine.com article has more information about the PLSS and the Bureau of Land Management's free federal land patent site.

The Battle of Cold Harbor, May 31-June 12, 1864, was part of Ulysses S. Grant's Overland Campaign, during which Confederate troops defended Richmond with six miles of trenches.
I picked up a brochure and map at the small visitor center, then we drove the short park loop and walked a trail tracing over and around the remains of trenches soldiers dug 150 years ago. (My husband gets props for pushing Leo's stroller up and down the gravel path in Virginia humidity).
The ground looked like corduroy. Markers explained how for days soldiers would crouch in misery in the trenches. They dug "zig zags" between lines of trenches so they could retrieve supplies without getting their heads blown off. They would top the trench with a header log and shoot through a narrow gap below it.
This depression is a rifle pit occupied by a Union soldier. It was the closest position to enemy lines, just 50 yards from Confederate rifle pits.
Most fighting at Cold Harbor took place June 1-3, when Union forces launched assaults. They were unsuccessful. "I have always regretted that the last assault at Cold Harbor was ever made," Grant wrote in his memoirs. "No advantage whatever was gained to compensate for the heavy loss we sustained."
On June 3 alone, nearly 6,000 Union soldiers were killed or wounded, most in just an hour's time. Both sides' casualties over the two weeks totaled 16,000. A nearby creek was named Bloody Run. According to the brochure, Cold Harbor was the beginning of modern trench warfare, showing how trenches, supported by artillery, were practically impenetrable.
I have to admit that my eyes tend to glaze over when faced with a battlefield map full of lines and arrows. But standing in the places where soldiers took cover in trenches, hid in rifle pits and charged across fields opened a small window into the past and helped me understand what happened 150 years ago.
You can listen to a podcast tour of the Battle of Cold Harbor, with vivid battle descriptions, on the Civil War Traveler website.

Nearly a third of all National Geographic grants have gone toward archaeological fieldwork across the globe. Our grantees have unearthed evidence of China's earliest rice production, located ancient shipwrecks off Africa, explored Egypt's Giza plateau, and much more. The first archaeology grant went to Hiram Bingham in 1912 to excavate Machu Picchu-Peru's once lost Inca city. Four years later Neil M. Judd was awarded a grant to begin his excavation of the ancient Anasazi culture's Pueblo Bonito site in New Mexico. In 1938, after receiving the first of 18 grants, Matthew Stirling ventured into the lowlands of Mexico and uncovered colossal stone heads of the ancient Olmec culture.
More recently the Society has supported much of the work of pioneer underwater archaeologist George Bass, as well as that of another premier nautical archaeologist, Robert Ballard. National Geographic has also supported Naguib Kanawati's excavations at Akhmim in Egypt, enabling Kanawati to—among other things—correct many of the errors in the early-1900s documentation of hieroglyphs.
We are committed—as we have been for more than a century—to supporting new archaeology projects around the world.
Sun temple, astronomical observatory, calendar—many investigators have tried solving the riddle posed by that famous circle of stones standing in southern England. Today Mike Parker Pearson and his colleagues might be getting tantalizingly close. The results of their excavations in the surrounding fields are now suggesting that Stonehenge originally served both as a permanent abode for the ancestral dead and as a renowned place of healing.
Caesarea Maritima
Photograph by Michael Melford
The aqueduct that brought it freshwater might be Caesarea Maritima's most spectacular ruin. But the city that the biblical King Herod had built on Israel's Mediterranean shores was, above all, a seaport. A series of excavations there in the 1980s, led by archaeologist Robert Hohlfelder, revealed its harbor to be one of the largest and most sophisticated in the ancient world. Geo-archeologist Beverly Goodman has since discovered that a tsunami struck it sometime in the first or second century A.D., probably hastening its decline.

Envoys bearing tribute march eternally up a ceremonial staircase in the spectacular ruins of Persepolis, capital of the once mighty Achaemenian Empire, which during the time of Xerxes (486-465 B.C.) had dominated the civilized world. Today Assyriologist Matthew Stolper of the University of Chicago is spearheading a drive to clean, conserve, and digitally capture the tens of thousands of crumbling clay tablets found in the ruins, which once comprised the empire's administrative archives.
Colossi of Memnon
Photograph by Kenneth Garrett
The fabled Colossi of Memnon have loomed over the Egyptian desert near Luxor for nearly 3,500 years. But it was only in the 1970s that an archaeologist actually studied these twin statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III from a modern engineer's perspective. Using neutron activation analysis, Robert Fleming Heizer discovered that the stone quarries from which they were hewn were located near Cairo, hundreds of miles away. Though weighing nearly a thousand tons apiece, they were probably transported by barge to their present site via a canal dug through the desert.

Perched dramatically on seaside cliffs jutting off of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, the ancient ruins of Tulum once overlooked an important pre-Columbian port. As the distinguished Mexican archaeologist Pilar Luna first demonstrated in the mid-1980s, its most prominent structure, known for years as El Castillo, was most likely not a citadel but rather an ingeniously designed navigational beacon, so situated that the view of the lamps in its windows told sailors how and when to work their craft safely through the reefs.
Grand Canyon
Photograph by Bobby Model
Prehistoric granaries tunneled into the face of Nankoweap Canyon, an offshoot of the Grand Canyon, were among the sites surveyed and excavated by anthropologist Douglas W. Schwartz, who in the 1960s pioneered the archaeological investigation of the famous landmark. Working in both the tremendous gorge itself and on its adjoining North Rim, he discovered pictographs, building foundations, and even the remains of cleverly constructed waterworks.
Angkor Wat
Photograph by Paul Chesley
Still serene despite centuries of war and neglect, the great Cambodian temple of Angkor Wat was once the heart of the great Angkor Empire, which flourished from the 9th through the 16th centuries. Archaeologists like Roland Fletcher have recently been transforming our understanding of that realm. They have discovered just how densely populated it once was. Using airborne imaging radar systems, they have found evidence that urbanized landscapes employing sophisticated water delivery systems once sprawled out for hundreds of miles in every direction.

Closed to outsiders for centuries, Afghanistan had by 1931 opened enough to admit the Society-supported Citroen-Haardt Transasiatic Expedition. Using half-tracked vehicles, the expedition was in the midst of achieving the first motorized crossing of Asia from the Mediterranean to the Yellow Sea. When the team arrived in Afghanistan's stunning Bamian Valley, National Geographic's Maynard Owen Williams unlimbered a large-format camera and made the first color photographs ever taken of the giant 6th-century Buddhist statues in their cliffside niches.

Incensed when in 2001 the Taliban government destroyed the two great statues, Afghan archaeologist Zemaryali Tarzi has since been searching for a third one, the buried Sleeping Buddha of Bamian, a reclining figure that ancient texts claim is a thousand feet long. So far he has found the remnants of a smaller such figure beneath a nearby temple but continues his search for the larger one, if only, he says, to "highlight the archaeological importance of a site many thought had been destroyed forever."

Petra, hidden in a deep gorge in Jordan, was once described as "the rose red city half as old as time." Yet it is still young compared to neighboring Iron Age settlements. Whereas the façade of its famous Treasury was carved some two thousand years ago, archaeologist Thomas E. Levy has been working in the nearby Wadi Faynan, which was a center of copper mining, on a practically industrial scale, a thousand years earlier still. NGS/Waitt grantee Kyle Knabb also led the first systematic archaeological survey of another site close by, Wadi Feid.
Machu Picchu

Though called simply the "Peruvian Expeditions 1912-15," they rank among the most important field projects in the annals of National Geographic because they represent its first adventures in archaeology. Led by Professor Hiram Bingham, the scene of these initial endeavors could not have been more spectacular: a cloud-wreathed Andean peak, where together with Yale University the Society undertook the original excavation of that "Lost City of the Incas," Machu Picchu.

Pompeii and Herculaneum were two ancient Italian cities that were not slowly buried beneath the sands of time. They were instead entombed beneath tons of rock and ash blasted out of nearby Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79. Many inhabitants fled toward the Mediterranean seafront, as Dr. Sara Bisel poignantly discovered when she excavated Herculaneum in the 1980s. She found human beings frozen in positions of terror, though turned to ash, and skeletons still garbed in jewelry and wrapped protectively around the bones of their children.
La Venta
Photograph by Martin Gray
The eleven colossal stone heads that Matthew Stirling unearthed from the steamy jungles of southern Mexico were the first sign that a previously unknown civilization, eventually called the Olmec, were buried beneath the soil. Spading away between 1938 and 1942, he excavated a basalt-pillared tomb, a jaguar-faced sarcophagus, and troves of jade artifacts that put such hamlets as La Venta and San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán permanently on the archaeological map.
El Brujo
Photograph by Ira Block
In 2006, while excavating in a mud-brick Moche culture pyramid at El Brujo in northern Peru, John Verano was amazed to find the tattooed mummy of a young woman who had died some 1,500 years ago. Finding that the mummy was surrounded by sumptuous grave goods, Verano likened the discovery to that of King Tut's tomb in Egypt.

When archaeologist Kenan Erim first saw the site in Turkey where the classical city of Aphrodisias once stood, it was a tumbled ruin, weed-choked and overgrown. But over the next two decades (1966-1988), his painstaking excavations revealed an astonishingly complete city—a "miracle in marble" with plazas, public baths, and a Temple of Aphrodite (above)—that flourished for seven centuries before wars and earthquakes forced its abandonment.

Anger management issues involve the self regulation of emotions and behaviors. My treatment for anger management involves self esteem and processing mood. When clients feel better their anger management skills increase. This results in positive behaviors, coping skills, and being appropriately assertive. Anger is an emotion and it's ok to experience anger. Anger management issues are common and reaching out for help is courageous.

kids and gadgets
My 2 years old son loves gadgets. At his age, he knows how to navigate an Iphone.
He loves to watch anime or cartoons at his father's laptop. He knows how to put the DVD to the player and how to make it start. For me it is unbelievable, but of course, very proud of him, because at his young age he knows how to use gadgets.
Any stories like this, share please.
It's just amazing how kids nowadays can keep up with the adults in terms of technology.

My children were the same way when they were little. To this day I ask them how to use the TV remote control because I haven't taken the time to figure it out. They know just what to do.
I remember one of my children being able to ride a two wheel Razer Scooter before she was 2 years old! She was the only one who could do it that young. She had great balance!

Thanks for the reply.
That was really nice! It puts a smile on my face to read something like this. Kids have their own way of learning on their own. They can just do it, figure it out on their own and it's just amazing.

TURIN -- Daniel Alfredsson was smiling as the sweat poured down his face yesterday.
Soon enough, that smile will be accompanied by an Olympic medal.
The Senators captain isn't sure what colour it'll be, but he'd much rather hang gold around his neck.
For the first time since 1994, the Swedes will have a shot at gold after a 7-3 victory over the Czech Republic yesterday. The gold-medal game, against Finland, will be played tomorrow.
"This feels good. We came here wanting to win a gold medal and now we've got a shot at it," said Alfredsson. "We're excited, but we've got another step."
Alfredsson made a big-time contribution yesterday. His goal in the dying minutes of the second seemed to deflate the Czechs, who had fallen behind 5-1 but closed the gap to 5-3 and were pressing for more.
"That sixth goal by Alfredsson was a killer," said Swedish coach Bengt Gustafsson.
Yes, the goal was worth its weight in gold.
It was knife in the backs of the Czechs, who thought they were going to pull off some kind of miracle against a Swedish team that has been accused of choking.
Playing alongside Samuel Pahlsson and P.J. Axelsson -- his linemates in Goteborg, Sweden during the lockout -- Alfredsson took a perfect pass from Axelsson and put the puck past Tomas Vokoun. You could hear the sigh of relief all the way from Stockholm.
"I was pretty happy to get that one," said Alfredsson. "I was all alone in front and I was yelling pretty loud for the puck."
Could the result have been different if Dominik Hasek had still been around? Was Alfredsson glad Hasek was watching in his living room in Ottawa (at the same time hoping he'll be healthy for the Senators sometime soon)? "Yes, because he's the kind of goalie who can get into your head and he can steal a game," said Alfredsson.
Alfredsson is aware a chance like this doesn't come along often. He wants to bring home an Olympic gold medal and then have a shot at the Stanley Cup in June.
Any thoughts of the Cup are on the backburner for the next 48 hours. The Swedes want to treasure this shot at an Olympic gold and keep their focus in one direction.
While the core group of players is aging -- Peter Forsberg, Mats Sundin, Nik Lidstrom and Alfredsson -- Sweden hasn't won an Olympic gold since 1994. This may be its shot for awhile.
"We know that we've got a lot of talent on this team, but we're also not sure if a lot of this group is going to be together again," said Alfredsson.
It seems like everybody in Sweden remembers where they were in '94 when Forsberg, with a behind-the-back move, scored on Canada's Corey Hirsch in the shootout.
"I was living at my parents house and watching it on television," said Alfredsson.
Was that the most dramatic moment in Swedish hockey history?
"They made a stamp out of it for a reason," said Alfredsson.
Tomorrow, Alfredsson can put his own stamp on the history of Swedish hockey.

EMERYVILLE, CA -- Jamba Juice is ending its licensing deal with Nestlé USA to assume control of its branded energy drinks, and setting a precedent for the future direction of its consumer packaged goods platform.
The smoothie chain said it has acquired the product formulation and intellectual property for Jamba all-natural energy drinks that it developed under a licensing partnership with Nestlé. Terms of the deal, expected to close by June 20, were not disclosed.
The single-serve beverages, offered in three flavors and packed in 8.4-fl.oz. cans, launched in the Northeast last year. The company said it plans to expand distribution beyond the current Northeastern market as part of its goal to accelerate its consumer products platform.
"We've previously used only licensing agreements for our consumer packaged goods products," said James D. White, chairman, president and chief executive of Jamba Inc. "As we enter into the new phase of our approach to CPG, we'll explore joint venture, co-pack agreements and other sales and distribution arrangements to provide us with increased control of our CPG products and enhanced returns."

For over one hundred years, coffee has been one of Costa Rica's primary export products and a great source of wealth for many Costa Rican families. The history of coffee cultivation is closely related to the history of the country itself.
Costa Rica was a Spanish colony until 1821, when all of Central America received its independence from Spain. During Costa Rica's colonial period, sugar cane and cacao were important agricultural products, but neither was lucrative enough to allow the colony to enter the global agricultural market. Livestock, lumber and mining provided income to a few entrepreneurs, but none became a national economic force. Throughout this time, small coffee plantations existed in Costa Rica, but they were not yet productive enough to generate significant income.
In the 1820s, the Costa Rican government took an active interest in the production of coffee, hoping to enliven the Costa Rican economy by encouraging coffee cultivation. Some sources indicate that the government became involved in land distribution, providing land grants to small coffee cultivators. Wealthy landowners also amassed large holdings, growing coffee in their vast plantations. Costa Rica's climate proved ideal for coffee production, and coffee growers were soon producing large crops. By the first half of the 1800s, coffee production was booming, and the country finally gained a foothold in the world economy.
At first, Costa Rica exported its coffee to Chile, where it was repackaged as Chilean coffee and then shipped to Great Britain. Later, Costa Rica exported coffee directly to Great Britain, the real start of the foreign coffee export business. Other countries joined Great Britain in buying Costa Rican coffee. The lucrative coffee bean soon became known as "el grano de oro," or the golden bean.
The wealthiest of coffee growers were those who owned beneficios, or coffee processing plants. In the earliest years, beneficios used a "humid" method to shell and process the raw coffee beans. More recently, beneficios have becoming increasingly mechanized, automating processes that were once done by hand.
Coffee revenue changed Costa Rican culture, architecture and society. Major coffee growers built expensive mansions and large commercial buildings in San José. Coffee magnates financed the construction of schools, cultural centers and of the National Theater building in the capital. Wealthy coffee growers took an interest in European culture, introducing the country to Old World literature, entertainment and activities. Most importantly to the country's history, coffee money financed the construction of the first railroad to the country's Atlantic coast.
By the end of the 1800s, coffee had become Costa Rica's predominant agricultural product. However, the turn of the century also witnessed the emergence of a new and very important cash crop—the banana. Its cultivation brought with it a host of new social and political problems for Costa Rica.

Some considerations for choosing the default button behavior:
- Some users will not have channel groups. We, for example, use MythTV for public channels here in NZ which amounts to about 10 channels of which only 4 have decent prime time viewing. We are probably in the minority though.
- Some users will have massive numbers of channels, e.g. those with cable subscriptions. Surfing up and down channels is probably not all that useful for finding something decent to watch but probably fine if the desire is to simply have Live TV behave like a simple TV. Many cable channel subscriptions come with smarter boxes which show more useful channel choosers, e.g. with program descriptions etc.
- Some PVR addons will support time-shift. For those it is possibly desirable to have the existing skipping and pause functionality remain unchanged. My guess is that time shift would probably only be for shortish periods of time, e.g. do something while ads are playing and then go back without worrying about missing start of show. Or replay that thing that just happened because didn't hear or due to some other distraction.
- Some remotes have dedicated Channel Up / Channel Down buttons
- Some remotes have a very restricted number of buttons, e.g. the Apple Remote, which doesn't leave much room to play with.
- Up / Down / Left / Right are often used for Big Skip Backwards, Big Skip Forwards, Small Skip Forwards, Small Skip Backwards. For restricted remotes also Pause and Stop (e.g. Default for Up pauses for the Apple and Wii Remote, and Down stops - or at least it did last time I tried those remotes).
- A lot of PVR users will be using digital channels as analog gets turned off around the world to free up spectrum for 4G and the like.
- Most digital channels these days don't support immediate channel change. There is typically always some sort of delay for opening tuner, streaming some data to disk, then stream detection, then wait for first key frame etc. At best a second, at worst >5 seconds.
- Most PVR users are probably already using a system that needs a remote with a decent number of buttons, e.g. many MythTV users seem to have full blown remotes, e.g. with numbers and Channel Up / Channel Down.
- Some remotes have a numeric keypad, which can be used for choosing channel directly (although I don't know how it works with channel numbers like 10.3).
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/1773 will set the default behavior (when watching LiveTV) to be:
Up - change channel up. I have a Channel Up button which I'd prefer to use. Much easier to explain and remember for others in the household, especially since the MythTV addon supports time shift.
Down - change channel down. I have a Channel Down button which I'd prefer to use. Much easier to explain and remember for others in the household.
Left - change to lower channel group. This conflicts with small skip backwards for us so I'll have to change it.
Right - change to higher channel group. This conflicts with small skip forwards for us so I'll have to change it.
My preference for our remote control would be the following (for our somewhat limited setup). We have a remote with Channel Up and Channel Down buttons.
Up, Right, Down, Left - Unchanged to support time shifting of Live TV (one of the few carrots to move to using XBMC as the TV interface rather than the plain ole TV).
Channel Up - bring up small OSD with channel information for the next up channel. Keep pressing Channel Up until a desirable channel is found and then press OK. Or press channel down to go down to a previous channel (in case we decide to go back to a previously seen channel). If we had channel groups then I could imagine using Left and Right when this OSD was displaying to move between channel groups.
Channel Down - as above but start with next down channel.
Enter/OK - Bring up usual OSD which has a button to go back to the full list of channels with the currently showing channel minimized. Restricted remotes don't have enough buttons to support "Back", they only have "Stop".
What are other peoples preference for their remote controls for Live TV?

I am so sick of the bullshit in these threads about Christmas especially Christmas in public school.
I am tired of being told you the Christmas celebrating person wouldn't mind their kid watching a Hanukkah movie one time or singing a Kwanzaa song during a concert.
Christmas is a continual presence in many public schools for many weeks. Teachers plan Christmas themed crafts, have Christmas themed concerts, have Christmas sing alongs, show Christmas movies, have Christmas decorations around the classroom, throw Christmas parties and have kids make Christmas gifts and cards to take home to mom and dad.
Public school is supposed to be a safe environment for ALL children. Kids can have Christmas in their homes, the shopping malls, on tv, on the radio, in their church, in the streets lines with lights, everywhere they go they will see Christmas don't worry. Why can't school be a safe zone?
Why can't you understand that you in the holiday celebrating majority living in a place where society at large embraces and recognizes your holiday in a huge way for many weeks in a row just have no idea what it is like for a non majority holiday celebrator to live in this society?
And to be clear this post isn't about me personally. This post is about all people not in the holiday celebrating majority.
Rant over. I don't give a fuck if there is no debate.

GSA Narrows Competition for Redevelopment of Historic Site in Downtown Washington
November 21, 1997
Contact: Jim Williams, (202)205-0317
Liz Gibson, (202)708-5334
Three Teams Chosen in First Phase of Competition for Tariff Building Redevelopment
WASHINGTON, DC -- After two widely-attended public hearings and extensive consultations with community organizations, local and federal officials, the US General Services Administration today announced the selection of three development options for the General Post Office, a National Historic Landmark known locally as the Tariff Commission Building, located in downtown Washington, D C.
The options that will be developed further and evaluated include apartments, hotel and a mixed-use project anchored with a residential use. Finalists in the two-phased development competition include:
Gunwyn/Postal Quarters LLC of Cambridge, Massachusetts;
Kimpton Hotel and Restaurant Group of San Francisco, California; and
JPI Development Partners, Inc/Golding Associates/Esocoff & Associates of Vienna, Virginia, and Washington, DC.
All three developers submitted proposals in the first phase of the competition, which attracted nine submissions. Their proposed concepts contribute to the goals and objectives of the Pennsylvania Avenue Plan, a federal plan devised in 1974 that has successfully guided the redevelopment of Pennsylvania Avenue as the main street of the nation. A mixture of uses - including offices, retail, apartments, condominiums and the Willard Hotel combined with the investment of $100 million in infrastructure and public amenities improvements - brought visitors and residents back to the area. These investments included urban parks and open spaces, historic preservation, artistic and cultural festivals in the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Area. The Plan also guided the creation of a new residential neighborhood known as the Penn Quarter at the midpoint of Pennsylvania Avenue between the US Capital and the White House.
Nelson Alcalde, Regional Administrator of GSA's National Capital Region, said that GSA would explore alternative rehabilitative and development options with these developers prior to naming a single developer to rehabilitate and manage the 98,000 square-foot property. The feasibility evaluation will take place over the next six to nine months.
While all respondents to the GSA competition demonstrated strengths in several key areas, only three developers demonstrated significant abilities across a wide range of qualifying criteria such as asset and property management, financial stability, commercial/residential development experience, capacity, historic preservation, project management and construction management.
Known in Boston for their award-winning design and construction, Gunwyn has a track record in preservation, public private partnerships and apartment development in New England and the District of Columbia. They are best known locally for their $80 million redevelopment of the Lansburgh, a 385-unit apartment building that incorporated parts of an historic department store and a cultural arts center using the 465-seat Shakespeare Theatre. For the Tariff Commission Building, Gunwyn/Postal Quarters LLC proposes 139 apartments with 90 below-grade parking spaces and a 4,000 square foot restaurant. Their proposal focused on restoration of the exterior of the building and maximization of apartments within the existing building.
Kimpton Hotel and Restaurant Group, which specializes in restoring historic buildings in downtown locations, is the largest hotel operator in San Francisco, operating 14 hotels with 2,353 rooms in the city. They also own and manage 21 high value, personalized hotels and 24 urban restaurants. Their smallest hotel, the 91-room Monticello Inn and their largest, the 417-room Sir Francis Drake Hotel, are both in San Francisco. They currently employ approximately 3,000 people on the West Coast and have created or renovated over 3,000 guestrooms. Kimpton will open their first hotel in Chicago in January 1998. Several Kimpton restaurants are operated by well-known chefs, such as Wolfgang Puck at Postrio, Donna and Giovanni Scala at Scala's Bistro and Jan Birnbaum at Sazerac in Seattle. Kimpton's proposal for a limited service hotel at the Tariff Commission Building would offer comfort, highly personalized service and value for visitors and residents of the District of Columbia. Kimpton would design and operate a hotel that would build on the historic architectural character while creating a residential feel by incorporating intimate lobbies, comfortable furniture and guest rooms designed to look and feel like a guest room in a friend's home. An independent theme restaurant would be designed and operated by a restaurateur, making it popular among locals and visitors alike.
One of the country's leading urban and suburban rental community developers, JPI Development Partners has joined forces with Golding Associates. JPI has developed or acquired over 28,000 apartments coast to coast. Currently JPI holds 59 projects in its portfolio, totaling 20,339 units, representing a total completed cost of $1.24 billion. JPI is a company that prides itself in developing, building, and managing all of its properties with its extensive in-house resources and retaining ownership of many properties for the long term. Current urban projects include two in downtown Dallas, one in downtown Houston and two others are planned for downtown Houston and Kansas City. Golding Associates brings local expertise via their projects in the historic Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington and as co-developer for the restoration of The Willard Hotel. For the Tariff Commission Building, the team proposes 665 to 1,260 square foot urban rental living units to meet today's demanding consumer. In addition, they propose a dynamic urban pedestrian environment via street side boutiques, dining, theatres and educational displays.
On October 9, 1997, the National Capital Planning Commission approved the adaptive use concepts submitted by the developers for the landmark property. The National Capital Planning Commission reviews actions proposed within the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Area for conformance with the Pennsylvania Avenue Plan and its guidelines. Granted in-lieu-of-zoning authority for local public buildings under the Code of the District of Columbia, the Federal commission requested that GSA further explore and determine the physical design and economic feasibility of the approved uses.
The Tariff Commission Building is in the area around the new MCI Center where GSA is actively involved in the revitalization of other historic properties, such as the LeDroit and Atlas Buildings on F Street NW, and the reopening of F Street. Built in 1839 and used until 1996 as office space for federal agencies, the historic property is centrally located in the newly created Downtown Business Improvement District.
GSA is creating an innovative process for adapting historic properties using the Tariff Commission Building as a new model for implementing the federal policy embodied in the National Historic Preservation Act (16 USC 470). Alcalde said, "Working in partnership with developers, financiers, historic preservationists and the community, this property will once again be an asset to our Nation's Capital and a landmark that embodies the spirit and principles of the National Historic Preservation Act. The Act requires the Federal government to use measures to foster conditions under which our modern society and our historic resources can exist in productive harmony. It is also another example of how GSA's 'Good Neighbor' initiative is helping to revitalize America's cities."
Consultation with community leaders and local government has resulted in broad support for the GSA undertaking. GSA has received letters of support of the selected concepts from diverse constituents such as the National Capital Area Chapter of the American Planning Association, the Downtown Cluster of Congregations, members of the Mayor's Interactive Downtown Taskforce, the Downtown Housing Now Committee and the Penn Quarter Neighborhood Association.
GSA's Alcalde said that the public would continue to be involved as the developers explore alternatives. The third public forum, an interactive design workshop sponsored jointly by the District of Columbia Preservation League, the National Building Museum and GSA, will be held on Feb. 18, 1998 at the National Building Museum.
Public tours of the property will be conducted Feb. 18, and Feb. 21, 1998. Pamela Scott, architectural historian and co-author of Buildings of the District of Columbia, will present a slide lecture on the history and significance of this National Historic Landmark on Feb. 19. All forthcoming public events will be held at the National Building Museum under joint sponsorship with the District of Columbia Preservation League.

text: The installations of Finnish artist Kaarina Kaikkonen are surreally familiar. Her work seems to take the familiar domestic scene of clothes drying on the line to its wonderfully illogical end. It's easy to get lost day dreaming about the many people that once filled the second-hand clothing. For Kaikkonen, this exercise and her work are intensely personal – her father died in front of her when she was young and the installation became a way of processing her emotions. Indeed, the clothing acts as a kind of physical manifestation of memories for Kaikkonen – sort of the only vestige of a body that otherwise only exists in the mind.

Tooele • With cash flow evaporating in this sprawling county's budget, Tooele County commissioners voted Tuesday to change the structure of retiree medical benefits.
Speaking to a packed house, Commissioner Shawn Milne said they heard constituent concerns expressed two weeks ago and adjusted accordingly.
"What we were proposing at that time was that all retirees be obligated to pay for 25 percent of their medical coverage, [and] ceasing coverage on dental and life insurance," Milne said, "and that effective immediately for any remaining employee, that we cease what's called the Years of Service program."
The latter referred to a policy that for every five years an employee worked for the county, the county gave them one year free insurance coverage when they retire. That benefit only kicked in after 10 years of service.
The change enacted Tuesday would hold current retirees harmless and leave their insurance benefits as is, including any employees who retire by July 1.
"We foresee some folks that are eligible for retirement, taking that option," Milne said. However, for workers with less than 10 years of service, the county will discontinue its Years of Service program, he added.
Under the new policy approved Tuesday, those who have worked more than 10 years but delay retirement until after July 1, 2013 will receive $2,500 in cash for each five-year period up to 10 years ($5,000 total) and then an additional $500 for each subsequent year of service, starting with year 11. County employees who retire after July 1 will not be eligible for the county's insurance program.
"It would be paid out upon retirement from Tooele County," Milne said. These costs would be fixed as a specific budgetary expense, he added, as opposed to post-retirement benefits that could rise to $9.8 million dollars for all current employees under the county's former policy.
While that amount would likely not be paid out in one budget year, that kind of cash would be hard to find, Milne added.
Under the new policy, county employees will no longer accrue credits toward insurance premiums as of July 1, and employees who retire after that date will not be eligible to enroll in the county insurance program.
Representing the Utah Public Employees Association, Christy Cushing said they appreciated the opportunities for dialogue and the changes that had been made.
"The new policy, though not perfect, addresses many of the legal concerns and both the needs of the employees and the goals of the commission," Cushing said.
In related action, commissioners also voted unanimously to raise the amounts that elected officials must pay toward their insurance premiums so they would be on par with other county employees.
Commission Chairman Bruce Clegg said this action would alleviate an existing inequity that "caught some by surprise."
"The reality was such that most elected officials . . . were paying about $55 less per paycheck than most of our employees," Clegg said.
Some in the audience knocked commissioners for not having the foresight to rein in spending much sooner. Over the past 18 months, Tooele County has had to trim $5.4 million or one-fourth of its general fund budget due to revenue shortfalls.
Since May 2012, the county also shed more than one-fourth of its workforce, dropping from 418 employees to the current 300.
"What they were promised when they were employed should be honored," Tooele resident Glen Walters said of the county's retirees, reasoning that generous insurance and retirement benefits have helped offset lower wages in the past.
"If that hadn't existed, maybe they wouldn't have worked for the county for so long," Walters said. "It's hard to get to retirement age and know you're taking it in the shorts."

Gallery: Inland Empire legislator Jim Brulte
Former state Sen. Jim Brulte appears to have a green light to be the California Republican Party's next leader while the party attempts to rebuild from its weakest position in many years.
"I think that Jim Brulte's candidacy has been embraced by all of the parts of the party," said Jon Fleischman, a Republican political consultant who runs the influential FlashReport blog.
Brulte himself has not formally announced his candidacy for the party chairmanship. He declined to speak for this report.
The Republican party's current vice chairman is Steven Baric, an attorney and a Rancho Santa Margarita councilman. Baric could not be reached for comment, but Fleischman and others have reported Baric will not seek the party's top post.
Nonetheless, Brulte's interest in the job is no secret to Republicans in and out of elected office.
Fleischman endorsed Brulte's as-yet-unofficial candidacy in a Tuesday posting on FlashReport, and Assemblyman Curt Hagman said Brulte has been gathering support as California Republicans prepare for their convention in Sacramento starting March 1.
The next chairman of the Republican Party will take leadership at a time when Republicans' influence in California is at its lowest ebb in recent memory.
Democrats hold vetoproof supermajorities in both houses of the Legislature. The Democratic Party also holds the governorship and all other constitutional offices with statewide authority.
Brulte opened the Inland Empire office of California Strategies, a lobbying and
public-affairs firm, in 2005 after leaving office.
As a legislator, Brulte had a reputation as a determined advocate for conservative policies and GOP interests, but he or any other chairman will face the immediate challenge of rebuilding the party's appeal in the state after years of decline.
"His voting record is strongly conservative, but he also knows how to reach out to moderates and Democrats," Claremont McKenna College political scientist Jack Pitney said.
A key task will be to promote the GOP's views among increasingly vital Latino and Asian- American constituencies.
"What the party needs is somebody who knows how to message without the implication that this is a `white male' message, and I think Brulte knows how to do that," said Robert Rego, the chairman of the San Bernardino County Republican Party.
Brulte's experience representing a diverse constituency in the Inland Empire should help him promote the Republican Party across demographic lines, said Luis Alvarado, a Republican consultant who is also president of the Republican National Hispanic Assembly of Greater Los Angeles.
"I have not heard a single person tell me that they would be opposed to him as a leader," Alvarado said.
Brulte supporters also credited him as an intelligent strategist who was a key party leader the last time Republicans had a majority in the Assembly.
"What I know is he is a great strategic thinker and he knows how to hire people to execute the tactics of that strategy," said Assemblyman Mike Morrell, R-Rancho Cucamonga.
Brulte's record shows he can be a tough partisan, perhaps even aggressively so. In 2003, while still in the state Senate, Brulte threatened to campaign against any Republican who voted for tax increases.
Fleischman also credited Brulte with maintaining the Republican Party's control of the Assembly in 1995 by leading recalls against two Southern California legislators, Paul Horcher and Doris Allen, who dared to cross party lines and work with Democratic leader Willie Brown.
Yet supporters of Brulte's prospective leadership of the state Republican Party also say the former legislator is the ideal candidate to reach out to moderates and even Democrats as the GOP attempts to regain competitiveness.
"He builds coalitions very well," said Hagman, R-Chino Hills, saying the state GOP can accept internal debates between moderates and more conservative members, such as those aligned with the Tea Party movement.
"I hope that the Republicans have learned that, just like in any other organization, there are going to be different views," he said.
Brulte has generally avoided controversy after leaving office, although FBI and IRS agents raided his home and office in 2011 as part of the broad corruption probe related to the $102 million settlement between Rancho Cucamonga developer Colonies Partners LP and San Bernardino County.
Brulte has not been charged with any wrongdoing, and Hagman does not expect the raid to lead to any future legal issues for Brulte.
"There's no allegations. It's just part of the due diligence of the investigation," Hagman said.

Field Editors' cleanup tips for fall leaves
You've probably been raking leaves since you were a kid. And you might figure that there's nothing left to learn. That's what Vern and I thought too. But when we asked The Family Handyman's crew of Field Editors for advice, we got this heap of tips for saving time and labor. Take a few minutes to read the following tips to save yourself hours of work this fall.
Bag 'em
Rake picks
The right tool
Lots of Field Editors told us about their favorite rakes. The most popular rakes are beloved just for their size—a big rake makes the job smaller. Most home centers carry rakes up to 30 in. wide.
Other Field Editors swear by "no-clog" rakes—the tines don't skewer leaves, so you don't have to stop and unclog the rake. Several manufacturers make them, also in widths up to 30 in.


text: I was really looking forward to Halle Berry moving to Paris. It would have been a very special House Hunters International. "Yes, I know Ms. Berry that you have $30M to spend on a home, but in this market, things move fast, so you will have to compromise." I'm not sure if Halle Berry really wanted to move to Paris, but a judge yesterday said she couldn't. Oh, I know she filed the paperwork and she saw everything through, but that is only because she is stubborn. Do you think someone who loves seeing herself in photos almost everyday wants to move far far away from that and not be recognized except by drunken tourists who want her to pose like Catwoman or make jokes about Living Dolls. If you think that Halle does not want to get her photo taken, then ask yourself why she always shops at places where paps hang out rather than in the places they don't? Why does she take her daughter, who, she so wants to protect from photographers to the pumpkin patch that is thicker than mosquitoes in a Minnesota summer with paps when she could go to one 10 minutes further away which is bigger, better, less expensive, and where no one would take her photo.

Tornados beat #26 Catawba 10-6April 9, 2010
Galloway goes the distance, Moman blasts seventh homer
Salisbury, N.C. - Shane Galloway pitched a complete game and Kellen Moman hit his seventh home run of the season Friday night as the Brevard College baseball team defeated 26th-ranked Catawba 10-6 in South Atlantic Conference play at Newman Park. The Tornados (8-27, 2-17) snapped an 11-game Indians winning streak. Catawba falls to 29-8 and 12-7 in conference play.
BC staged a two-out rally to plate three in the top of the first. Jackie Corn singled up the middle and came around to score on Stephen Mullis' RBI double to right center. Moman followed with a first pitch two-run homer over the right center field fence.
The Tornados added two more runs in the third, as Corn drew a leadoff walk and reached third on another double from Mullis. Moman earned his third RBI with a sacrifice fly to right. Vance Crook added an RBI single to score Mullis.
Galloway (3-3) did not allow a run until the sixth inning. The senior southpaw allowed six runs, three earned, on nine hits. He struck out eight Indians and threw 139 pitches.
A five-run Tornado fifth proved to be the difference. Ronald Patterson, Derek Ham, and Eric Renegar each had RBI singles and Corn hit a sacrifice fly.
Mullis finished the day three for five with an RBI and three runs scored. Moman's three RBI give him 30 this season, two behind Mullis for the team lead. Patterson and Ham each had two hits in the game.
Catawba made things a little more interesting by scoring two runs in the eighth on a Craige Lyerly triple. They scored three in the ninth on a two-run homer from Josh Hohn and an RBI double from Wade Moore.
Trevor Mullins (6-2) worked three innings and took the loss. He allowed five runs, all earned, on six hits while walking three and striking out four.
Brevard and Catawba conclude their three game series with a doubleheader Saturday at Newman Park. First pitch of game one is scheduled for 12 p.m.

If Then
Revision as of 10:16, 16 November 2008 by Nsubramanya (Talk | contribs)
You want the equivalent of if...then... in other programming languages.
For example, to print a list if it is non-empty, you could write
case L/=[] of true -> io:format("~p~n",[L]); false -> ok end
if L/=[] -> io:format("~p~n",[L]); true -> ok end
but in both cases you have to include an "else" branch that is just noise.
How can you avoid this?
[io:format("~p~n",[L]) || L/=[]]
This is a list comprehension without a generator. If L/=[] is true, then it evaluates the io:format call (and returns its result in a list of one element), while if it is false, then it just returns the empty list.
This generates a compiler warning, but if you can put up with that, then it's a concise and readable notation.

Martin Yakimovich, 32, was stabbed multiple times Friday night.
A 32-year-old Wilmington man is dead after a Friday night stabbing at a McRae Street home.
Martin Yakimovich was stabbed multiple times late Friday during a domestic dispute, said Linda Rawley, a spokeswoman for the Wilmington Police Department. Yakimovich was taken to New Hanover Regional Medical Center, where he died, Rawley said.
Police have charged 19-year-old Shelby Reid Lentz with second-degree murder in connection with Yakimovich's death.
About 11 p.m. Friday, police responded to a reported domestic dispute at a house at 318 McRae St., Rawley said. Officers found a wounded Yakimovich lying on the floor of the house, Rawley said.
Witnesses told police Yakimovich was stabbed after he and Lentz got into an argument. Lentz reportedly ran from the house and later turned himself into police.
As of Saturday, Lentz was in the New Hanover County jail with no bond listed.
Rawley said Saturday she did not know why the men were reportedly arguing. Although investigators are still gathering evidence, Rawley said she is not expecting any other arrests in connection with the case.
Yakimovich graduated from Hoggard High School in 2000, according to his Facebook page. He worked at Dunn Builders Inc., said Mark McCuiston, a vice president at the company. McCuiston said Yakimovich worked on a contracting crew with the company.
In a Saturday afternoon interview at the jail, Lentz admitted to stabbing Yakimovich, but said he plans to plead not guilty.
Lentz said he was in the McRae Street home with Yakimovich and a woman when there was a dispute. Lentz said he felt he was defending himself when he stabbed Yakimovich with a knife he had in his back pocket.
Lentz said he lived in the home for about two weeks with both Yakimovich and the woman. After the stabbing, Lentz said he left the house and ended up at a pizza restaurant, where he told a clerk to call police so he could turn himself in.
He said he did not learn Yakimovich died from his injuries until a police detective told him.
"I just dropped my head because I didn't mean to kill him," he said.
Lentz was convicted of multiple criminal counts in 2011 and 2012, including assault on an officer, assault on a handicapped person, disorderly conduct, and larceny and financial card fraud, according to records from the N.C. Department of Correction.
Lentz also has several charges pending, including felony financial card fraud, shoplifting, trespassing and larceny, according to court records.
In November 2011, Lentz, then 16, was charged with violating park hours as part of an Occupy Wilmington movement at Innis Park near city hall. He was found not guilty in January 2012.
By Saturday afternoon, there was no police presence at the single-story house at 318 McRae St. The three-bedroom home is for sale, said Susan Lawrence, a broker with Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage, who listed the property about two months ago. Although the home is for sale, Lawrence said the home has been rented on a month-to-month basis.

I have created a bootable usb flash with backtrack 3 and wireless connection works fine. But i cannot start a wired internet connection. I am connecting the wire on the rj45 port but there is no internet. I have to do something else to have wired internet?
thank you in advance
i have noticed that when i start the engine with the wire plugged in the port it works fine. But if i plug it while the system works, the wired connection it does not work (automatically at least).
Yes, as already stated........look up the term "DHCP" and see how it works.
(dhcpcd is the client daemon - it will request the "connection details" from your dhcp server (probably your home DLS/Cable router?)
The reason for what you are describing is that most systems will attempt to contact a dhcp server during boot. Otherwise, at a later point, you will have to instigate the contact yourself, via dhcpcd. (Or dhclient, or pump, etc, but that's another story for a rainy day)
This is normal.
This is all *very* basic stuff. You really should consider reading up on networking in general before even attempting to play around with networks!
thanks, I appreciate your help
type dhcpcd eth0 then press enter or it could be eth1
I am having the same problem
On BT3beta I could type:
Code:modprobe e100And it would work fine, but now with BT3 the above commands do not work.Code:dhcpcd eth0
I have tried "dhcpcd eth0" and "dhcpcd eth1" and neither work.
Any ideas?

Many of us have a decent grasp on how to make our homes and work places more eco-friendly. Having so many choices of fixture bulbs, coffee cups and grocery bags these days certainly helps, but what about the furniture? Eco-Friendly furniture has great environmental advantages and although not yet mainstream, it also carries a higher price tag until popular demand makes larger distribution a reality.
Recently as we planned for our new storefront, we landed this charming bungalow on Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood and all of a sudden it was time to bring the funk, elegance and our signature personality to this new home. In our vicinity there is no shortage of celebrated furniture stores featuring magnificent pieces, with some not-so magnificent price tags for the budget-wise. Make no mistake: I love pretty, new, shiny things! But style decisions needed to be made and fast: Do we invest in the current cutting edge furnishings for our studio or can we find a cool compromise of style and still practice environmental responsibility?
Well, I have always been fascinated by the great craftsmanship of antique furniture. My passion for woodcarvings and precise, seamless junctions of veneers has been embedded on my brain for quite some time! I recall being a young boy and visiting my dear great grandmother's home decorated with oversized French colonial armoires, tables and chairs, and remember how I would spend hours staring at the pieces imagining how the wood layered so perfectly together.
After flipping through many décor catalogs and spending afternoons visiting local furniture stores, I ran into this great piece that reminded me of my childhood! An incredible long table made of solid hardwoods, featuring a parquet inlay top and gracious legs. It was hard to see over the many layers of varnish but I knew there were good bones underneath. It was at that moment I shared with my business partner the idea of collecting old furniture and resurfacing it to fit our concept. We went with our gut instinct and the transformation began. This was not an easy task, I may add. We had to learn the proper ways to strip so many layers of paint, varnish, and battle wounds of many well served years. As we began stripping the deep layers the underlying beauty started to unveil. The excitement was accelerating and I turned into a joyful child seeing such magnificent craftsmanship!
These timeless pieces were manufactured with higher standards that have withstood many decades. Today, we look everywhere for pieces to restore and have become full-fledged recycling junkies! We've made it our goal to drive all over town if necessary to find more key elements for our blank canvas. This process allows us to implement our design aesthetic while gaining skills in the art of recycling, and we get to respect Mother Earth creatively!
We are so excited to apply this concept to our daily event products. Dolce Designs Studio already recycles vases and provides discounts to foster re-use, but now the plan is to encourage our patrons to uncover even more new ways to maintain an Eco-Friendly lifestyle!
Here are few shots of the restored furniture:

Gone is the sleek pushed back style she sported in "Wrecking Ball."
It was later revealed that her new hair is actually a wig, but sources say that Miley's growing it out so she can tie is back.
What do you think of her new wig? We kinda like it!

CANTON, MA -- Dunkin' Donuts stores will sell gluten-free cinnamon-sugar doughnuts and blueberry muffins in all U.S. stores by the end of the year.
"At Dunkin' Donuts, we recognize the importance of providing our guests with many options, including alternative choices for people with food and dietary restrictions," said Michelle King, spokeswoman for Dunkin' Brands. "We understand that sensitivities to food ingredients such as gluten are a serious concern for certain guests."
The gluten-free pastries will be packaged separately to avoid contamination from other foods that contain wheat flour. The doughnut chain tested the gluten-free breakfast pastries in locations in Massachusetts earlier this year.
Those with the autoimmune disorder celiac disease can't eat gluten, the protein in wheat, rye and barley. About one out of 133 people are believed to have the disease and 5% to 10% of the population reportedly suffer from gluten sensitivity in some form.

A few summers ago, I had taken to driving to St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif., for Sunday vigil Mass. Most Sunday liturgies in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles are so well-attended and run at an hour or more, and I have MS and heat can provoke symptoms. St. John's was the only chapel or church within miles that had air conditioning. The priest who celebrated Mass most of the time was from Africa.

No, this is not gibberish and don't worry, we haven't lost our minds over here at Sharpie either. These words are in fact a work of Sharpie art and the newest permanent fixture at Jbar, a well-known Chicago hotspot neighboring The James Hotel.
"Everything inspires me. Some artists paint pictures and shapes, I paint using words. Words create images in my head, but I like the way words look when they are placed next to and on top of each other, taking on a form of its own." "My technique allows the viewer to think simple letters form complex words, serving to create language as a form of art."
-Brian Graves
Local Chicago artist, Brian Graves made his Sharpie mark on the bar's walls with Jgrooves I & II and Jposition I & II, installations from the Jbar Project. For this project, Graves drew inspiration from different areas, including famous one-liners from popular club songs that have been fixated into his own mind. The words above are from a portion of the installation, stating the precise location of Jbar itself; beginning with outer space progressing to its exact coordinates on Earth.
*I would like to take this moment to thank you, Mr. Graves, for cursing me with the musical mash-up that is repeating in my head, consisting of Madonna's Hey Mr Dj, U2's She Moves in Mysterious Ways, Tina Turner's Proud Mary and P!nk's intellectually stimulating, Get this Party Started.*
Graves focuses on the development of self-taught expression of both feeling and emotion in his own form of abstract painting. Letters, words, everyday expressions and emotion combine and collide with color and texture through layers of acrylics, oils, pastels and yes, Sharpie markers!
Trust me when I say that you need to see more of Brian Graves' artwork. Absolutely incredible! BigArtChicago <— Check it out
Hey, why not see his work up close and personal?! Grab a cab and jet on over to the JBar at The James.
*A BIG thanks goes out to Raul Ruiz, Sharpie Highlighters Brand Manager for suggesting Brian's Jbar project for the Sharpie Blog. Follow Raul on Twitter! (He has a great profile pic)

Christina Aguilera makes me proud
Christina Aguilera has admitted she doesn't like covering up with too much clothes, telling More magazine: "I wouldn't feel right wearing clothes that covered my whole body."
And that, my friends, is why Christina Aguilera is considered a hero. The real way to empower women isn't to let them vote or enter the work force, it's to dress them like blow up sex dolls and parade around their half-naked bodies. And anybody who says otherwise is a Communist.
