I don't get this. This "information" was placed into background material as decoration, and couldn't really be seen on TV at the time. Much like the picture of The Great Bird of the Galaxy and the USS Elmer Fudd. Why is this being given the same weight as material clearly intended to be seen and heard? It is funny and interesting, yes. Yet I would think these sorts of decorative filler material should be relegated to a category of "Decorative Information" or even the existing "Real World Article" or some such thing. Otherwise it simply demeans the efforts of the production staff by saying that the USS Elmer Fudd and Dent Arthur Dent have the same canon value at the USS Horizon and Captain Pike. 188.8.131.52 21:32, July 31, 2012 (UTC)
- Our mission is to be the "most definitive, accurate, and accessible encyclopedia and reference for everything related to Star Trek." That means, if it appeared in canon, it gets covered as part of canon. We have many articles about things not clearly seen (Retrofitted dorsal carrier, George W. Bush, Lyndon Johnson) and even things meant as a joke (USS Alka-Selsior, Gene Roddenberry (Admiral)). It would be a pretty messy business to pick and choose what background material is canon and what isn't.31dot (talk) 02:57, August 1, 2012 (UTC)

"Captain America: The First Avenger" Honest Trailer: See It Here!
With so many superhero movies saturating the market, the good folks over at Screen Junkies came up with a hilarious real look at the merits of "Captain America: The First Avenger."
Starring Chris Evans, the 2011 film was a commercial success despite its relative uselessness among the Marvel Studio peers.
Focusing on the ridiculousness of the weakling-turned-warrior premise, the Honest Trailer points out plenty of flaws in "Captain America," though it's all in good fun.
Furthermore, the clip makes fun of how many percentages are randomly blurted out as well as all the buttons, switches and levers involved.

Some of our battle articles have a great deal of information in them. While this is of course advantageous, it is often difficult to get the quick facts about a particular engagement. I am proposing a template infobox (similar to those on Wikipedia) that can display quick facts, such as date, location, combatants, commanders, and losses for each side. -- Jaz talk 02:06, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- Didn't we have a discussion about this in the past, and found out that there isn't really much templatable information for "our" battles? This starts with the fact that most of our "Battle of X" articles aren't really battles in a war between different powers, but mostly skirmishes between individual ships. Also, most of the time, a detailed outcome of a battle is unknown. -- Cid Highwind 10:56, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

By Lee D. Flournoy
A high stakes and emotional prosecution - a client accused of a crime even criminals despise, an accuser whose motives are clouded in mystery - what could make things more difficult for defense counsel?
Add the problem of navigating the procedural wonderland of the decisions in Commonwealth v. Bishop, 416 Mass. 169 (1993) and Commonwealth v. Fuller, 432 Mass. 216 (1996) to try to obtain arguably privileged records in order to reveal potential motive for a false accusation. The 10 years of evolving Supreme Judicial Court holdings in this area - driven by a desire to balance the alleged victim's or witness's right to privacy and the defendant's right to expose evidence of bias - have necessarily put last the shared interests of trial judges, counsel and victim advocates in simplicity, clarity and predictability. It is hard to be certain how one judge or the next will apply the procedural steps of the various stages required to obtain and use such records. As the procedures have been applied to civil cases where counsel seek privileged data about non-party witnesses and even opposing parties, more practitioners will need to learn how to manage Bishop.1
Historically, the Supreme Judicial Court had, pre-Bishop, emphasized the Sixth Amendment and Article XII rights to confrontation in permitting defense counsel to probe the bias of a witness. Commonwealth v. Stockhammer, 409 Mass 867 (1991). In the Bishop case, the court devised a five-step matrix for identifying and protecting the relevant interests when privileged records of an alleged victim are sought in discovery. It contemplated that the trial court would first determine whether a privilege exists as to the desired materials, and second, that the proponent of discovery would make a proffer of relevancy. If the proffer passed muster, the court was expected to review the materials in camera to determine whether the records should be revealed to counsel. In the third stage, subject to a protective order and as officers of the court, counsel were to have access for the limited purpose of determining whether disclosure of the records was necessary to a fair trial or, in other words to "preparing and mounting" a defense. At this stage, the court was required to accept written fourth-stage submissions and make written findings. The fifth and final step was, and remains, traditional questions of admissibility at trial.
In Fuller, the Supreme Judicial Court set about to clarify and improve upon Bishop in a fashion that made access to Bishop materials appreciably more difficult. Rape crisis centers mounted a vigorous challenge, building upon Pennsylvania v. Ritchie, 480 U.S. 39 (1987) that the pertinent statutes created a constitutionally based and inviolable privilege. Justice Greaney's opinion, acknowledging that balance between privacy and confrontation had proved "elusive," dodged the question of whether a privilege is ever absolute in the face of the confrontation clause. Although, the opinion suggests that the answer would be "no." Instead, it made clear that before a privilege as ironclad as Chapter 233, ß20J could be invaded, the "likely to be relevant" standard really meant "material," and "material" meant likely to create a reasonable doubt that would not otherwise exist.
The huge retrenchment in access to privileged material wrought by this opinion was highlighted by the opinion of the Appeals Court in Commonwealth v. Pare, 43 Mass App. Ct. 566 (1997), which, although decided after Fuller, retrospectively applied the Bishop standard in effect at the time of Pare's trial. The Pare opinion noted that evidence is to be considered relevant under Bishop if it only "throw[s] light," or "shed[s] light on an issue" or, "in connection with other evidence, it helps [the fact-finder] a little." It is relevant if it "could have been helpful" for a jury in determining whether a complainant was telling the truth. So long as evidence possesses any of these probative tendencies, even if it "is of marginal significance, we cannot say that it [is] irrelevant." Commonwealth v. Pare. This is, of course, an enormous difference from evidence likely to create a reasonable doubt that would otherwise not exist.
The Fuller court underscored that it did not expect routine in camera review of sensitive counseling records, but would expect the trial court to closely scrutinize an offer of proof (before permitting records to be summonsed) to determine whether the defense has shown a good faith, specific and reasonable basis to believe that the evidence in the records is exculpatory and likely to create a reasonable doubt that would not otherwise exist. This showing was not expected to be made until late in the discovery process, so that the defense could make the requisite showing that the information was not otherwise available. Subsequent holdings (see Commonwealth v. Oliveira, 431 Mass. 65 (2000)) expanded the Fuller protocol to "any privileged records."
While Fuller places a heavy burden on defense counsel to investigate and articulate a theory that will impress the court with its materiality, there are still some pathways to locate and articulate the leverage points to access exculpatory information. After the very recent case of Commonwealth v. Oliveira (II), 438 Mass. 325 (2003), it would appear that a great deal of that opportunity may lie at the front end of the process. The first task is that some showing of relevancy is necessary to get "potentially privileged" records into the courthouse for the Stage One showing. At least one Superior Court judge has carefully distinguished the showing of relevancy necessary to issue a summons and trigger the privilege inquiry (using the old Bishop standard, above) from the much greater (Fuller) showing of materiality necessary at the Stage Two. Commonwealth v. Spinney, Nos. 0077CR0983-85 (April 17, 2001) (Agnes, J.) In light of the Oliveira decision of February 2003, this appears to be the correct holding.2
The Supreme Judicial Court in Commonwealth v. Oliveira, 438 Mass. 325 (2003) made clear that the privilege stage is to be taken most seriously, and that privileges not asserted, preferably by the privilege holder, are not to be assumed or applied. The court makes clear that it welcomes the attempt of trial judges to devise means to ascertain the actual wishes of the privilege holders, recognizing that many may not get notice of interest in their records, do not have and cannot afford counsel, and may have interests that differ from the prosecutor, and that at least notice to the privilege-holder and perhaps appointment of counsel is appropriate. See also Commonwealth v. Neumyer, 432 Mass. 23, 36 n. 16 (2000). Commonwealth v. Pelosi, 55 Mass. App. Ct. 390, 397 (2002).
Defense counsel would thus be well advised to resist the Department of Social Services usual importunances to "concede privilege and skip to Stage Two," which may feel like forward progress, but under Fuller is an invitation to a black hole. Many DSS workers, psychiatric nurses and psychologists, even in inpatient facilities, as well as the plethora of ancillary mental health workers, do not have licensure sufficient to trigger a privilege, and, as Oliveira points out, the court has refused to and will not expand upon the legislative delineations of privilege.
Such expanded attention to Stage One will mean more work for prosecutors, DSS attorneys, defense counsel and judges as the battle in Fuller shifts from the offer of relevancy to much more careful scrutiny of how and by whom the record was created, whether the presence of others pierced the privilege, and whether the records contain "communications" to and from non-licensed persons or other materials that may not be privileged. See J.M.E. v D.R.T. J.M.E. v. D.R.T., No. 92-7982 (Nov. 1, 1996) (Middlesex, Botsford J.) for a thoughtful discussion of the possible attacks upon the scope of a privilege within a psychiatric record. See also Commonwealth v. Pare, 43 Mass App. Ct.566 (1997) text at and notes 12 and 13.
This effort will be fruitful for the defense. In Oliveira, four of the seven justices disapprove any withholding of non-privileged materials, considering that absent a privilege, the defense has broad rights of access under Mass. R. Crim. Proc. 14 (a) (2) and 17(a) (2), and that it is counsel's responsibility and prerogative, absent a privilege, to search a record not only for "its own immediate relevance but rather in its indication of the existence of some other avenue of fruitful inquiry."3
Stage Two is familiar territory for those who defend cases in which psychiatric data or other privileged records are pertinent. The detailed offer of proof must be handled with exquisite care if it is not to force the defense to give up its overall strategy. Strictly read, the requirement of a showing that the requested records are likely to create a reasonable doubt that would "not otherwise exist" (emphasis supplied) calls for the defense to broadcast its strategic approach and the perceived shortcomings of the defense without the records. Pare v Commonwealth, 420 Mass 216 (1995) rebuffed a defense request to file the offer of proof on an impounded basis in order to protect the defendant's Fifth Amendment privilege. There may be cases in which counsel will meet with real success in obtaining exculpatory material from DSS or pediatric records, physicians records alone having been held not to be privileged in Commonwealth v. Clayton, 52 Mass. App. Ct. 198 (2001). See Oliveira, 438 Mass. 325 (2003). In that case, counsel may make the agonizing choice to forego pursuit of further material in order to keep strategic approaches secret.
In such a case, making a record of the reasons for the decision and the defendant's concurrence in those decisions is important to avoid an ineffective assistance attack for not seeking all available records as in Commonwealth v. Oliveira, I and II.
A few suggestions for what may work in a Stage Two offer of proof can be gleaned from those opinions, almost horror-stricken in tone, of the Appeals Court and the Supreme Judicial Court, which confront the extremely exculpatory materials that have been found on appellate review to have been withheld or foregone in cases such as Pare and Oliveira4 as trial courts and counsel struggle to follow Fuller. The appellate courts are prepared to consider records of team interventions as almost "presumptively material" because of the susceptibility of young children to suggestive questioning. (Pare, at 43 Mass App. Ct 566 (1997) and 427 Mass. 427 (2000). Fuller cites prior false accusations, a tendency to fantasize or to have difficulty in distinguishing fantasy from reality, and bias of alleged victim or family against the defendant as examples of solid showings of relevancy and materiality, and later opinions recite these, almost talismanically, as reasons for disclosure. Family turmoil following upon the accusations, hospitalizations for psychiatric reasons, or treatment for cognitive difficulties post-accusation also appear as reasons the records should have been disclosed.5
The more detail counsel can provide, the better the chances for disclosure. Diligent investigation, including, if appropriate, scrutiny of Probate Court and 209A records, motions for disclosure of team investigations, interviews with mutual friends or family of the defendant and alleged victim, if any, and material gleaned from non-privileged discovery can be used as a foundation. The expectation, or even a report of, mere inconsistencies in the victim's various accounts will not suffice. It would appear from the wording of the appellate opinions that to show Fuller relevancy and materiality, one need not be certain that the material in the records will offer the expected gloss on events, but one must offer a reason to believe that the events occurred and that they logically would appear in such records. In a situation in which alleged victim and the defendant are strangers, this task is daunting. If little or nothing is known about the family and its issues, counsel faces a wall of blank bricks. And extra creativity and persistence is required.
There are several situations with special problems. If the alleged victim has received treatment or lived out of state, consultation with counsel about the privileges that pertain in that jurisdiction is vital. Determining where a witness has received treatment can be exceptionally difficult, although Commonwealth v. Dexter, 500 Mass. App. Ct. seems to suggest at Note 5 that in the event of a focused query (i.e. the defendant is able to show that the witness is on psychotropic medication) it may be that the court will order production of the physician's name, although there seems to be stronger authority to the contrary in Commonwealth v. Beal, 429 Mass. 530, 531, 534 (1999) and in the text of Dexter.
Once the Bishop Stage Two submission has been prepared, the court undertakes the often laborious task of sorting out the multiple theories of relevancy and materiality that will necessarily be offered by the still-blindfolded defense. After the court's scrutiny of what may be voluminous records, a protective order may issue revealing relevant and material privileged documents to trial counsel. Counsel sees these for the purpose of preparing a Stage Four submission. If counsel is able to get to Stage Three and look at these documents, it will almost certainly be without permission to take copies or to discuss the records with the defendant. It is only upon filing of the Stage Four submissions by both parties that the court is expected to rule upon whether the disclosure of the material is necessary to a fair trial. After Fuller, the standard to reach Stage Three is so stringent that Stage Four would seem almost redundant, but according to Commonwealth v. Sheehan, Stage Four is in fact very much alive and necessary. In that case, a judge endorsed the Stage Two offer (filed pre-Fuller) as indicating a finding of relevancy, and one year later (five months after Fuller), a different judge re-endorsed the same motion, noting that there was no exculpatory evidence for use at trial. The SJC reversed, reading in a sophisticated manner the subtle suggestions in the young child's record indicating a tendency to fantasize. The court apparently applied Bishop throughout (despite the intervening Fuller decision), and cautioned that the parties should have made proper Stage Four submissions and the judge written Stage Four findings.
This sketch of some of the procedural pitfalls and opportunities inherent in Fuller compliance is not meant to discourage the already overworked, but to suggest that the extra effort is put forth in the service of resolving a tangle of legal issues that serves to engage, perplex and divide even the Supreme Judicial Court. It is to be hoped that the continuing efforts of counsel and judges on the trial and appellate levels will strike a balance in which that disfavored old chestnut of prosecutors' closings - "Why would [the victim] make this up?" - will need never again be met with a frustrated defender's silent curse at never having had a fair crack at answering the question.
End notes
1. See Donovan v. Prussman Essex Superior Court No. 99-175-D (Agnes, J.) It is an interesting decision and will quickly cure criminal lawyers of self-pity. It reads the patient-psychotherapist privilege statute Gl. c. 233 20B (c) as requiring quite a bit more of the proponent than of a criminal defendant because relevancy is balanced against the interests of justice. In that case, records of a motor vehicle tort plaintiff, who claimed what seemed a dubious set of psychiatric damages, were withheld in the interests of justice, with Judge Agnes noting that the legislative exception for persons putting their mental condition at issue was strongly conditioned upon balancing.[back]
2. Though the Fuller opinion at note 8 does not make this distinction, Oliveira makes clear that non-privileged material is not to be automatically screened by a judge for relevancy.[back]
3. The remaining three justices concurred only with the finding that no privilege was asserted, and rejected what they considered to be the attack by the majority opinion in dicta on the Bishop-Fuller protocol. Thus, Oliveira may not be the encouragement that it appears at first blush. [back]
4. It is tribute to the complexity of these issues that Pare and Oliveira have made multiple visits to appellate courtrooms and Commonwealth v. Sheehan, 438 Mass. 183 (2001), Commonwealth v. Neumyer, and Commonwealth v. Oliveira are either direct appellate review or further appellate review cases.[back]
5. Because the majority of the decisions to date were first tried before Fuller, the much more inclusive standard of relevancy of Bishop is used, but decisions like Pare and Oliveira make fairly clear that certain fact patterns are seen as compelling.[back]

About the Creator
I have always had an interest in photography. I can still remember my very first camera that my parents had given to me when I was about 8 years old. I took that camera everywhere and snapped shots of anything and everything, however it wasn't until much later in life that I was really bitten by the photography bug. I was planning a big move to the Canadian Rockies and thought now is the perfect time to buy my new camera gear for shooting wildlife. I bought all the equipment I needed that would put me up close with all the wildlife that the mountains had to offer. So off I went chasing Bears, Bighorn sheep, Moose, Elk and Wolves… pretty much any critter I could capture with my lens. It was a fascinating and thrilling experience. Then fate brought to me a girl and she would change my life forever… Newfoundland is where I now call home, with my beautiful wife and baby son. With my camera in tow I now begin my journey through Newfoundland, photographing and capturing her beauty.

Orem » When Michael Freeman joined Utah Valley State College in 1993, the library held 66,000 volumes, most of which he soon shed as library director. Freeman has since amassed thousands of new books, housed in a new five-story structure that is noteworthy more for human activity than the printed material it holds.
Group and solitary study, exploring digital archives, lectures, noshing, relaxing between classes, examining large-scale pieces of public art, even entertaining small children is welcome. This striking 190,000-square-foot facility was developed during the run-up to Utah Valley's transition to a regional university, the first big step toward achieving a master plan that calls for a new quad, arts and science centers, and other facilities to accommodate anticipated enrollment growth.
"The library was key," said Liz Hitch, Utah Valley University's vice president for academic affairs who served as interim president last year. "I was stunned by how quickly the students figured out how to use it." Visitation approached 1.3 million in the library's first year and circulation soared by 43 percent.
"These numbers show people come here and it has a sense of place, and somehow that translates into more use," Freeman said.
The new facility, the largest on UVU's 32-year-old campus, was intended to relieve a major challenge facing Utah's fastest growing and evolving institution of higher learning. The school's lack of space is compounded by every surge in enrollment, expected to reach 32,000 in the next few years. The College of Science and Health struggles in the Pope Science Building, which serves 2,000 majoring in the sciences.
"We've got to have better laboratory facilities. You can't have four chemistry labs and teach this number of students," Hitch said.
Even with the new library, UVU has the most intensively used facilities of any Utah campus, with 121 square feet per student. Salt Lake Community College and Weber State University are next with 146 and 196 square feet, respectively, while the University of Utah has 448 square feet per student.
Under the leadership of Wilson Sorensen, the longtime head of what was then called Utah Technical College, UVU's Orem campus was developed in the 1970s on an old farm and gravel quarry along Interstate 15. The campus became an interconnected network of mostly low, concrete modernist buildings, many of which have been re-purposed over the years as the school's mission expanded.
"We are on a small footprint, but because of the way the campus is designed, it makes for an innovative learning environment. It creates spaces where students and faculty can interact and learn from each other," said Val Peterson, vice president for administration.
The last legislative session kick-started planning for the proposed science center with a $3 million bond-funded appropriation. The 140,000-square-foot facility is expected to cost $48 million and take another three years to open.
The next priority is the proposed Center for the Arts to house UVU's popular dance, music, theater and visual arts departments, which are currently scattered around campus and have 1,200 majors. Space is so tight, Woodbury Art Museum is operated off campus in University Mall.
This center, which could be as big as 130,000 square feet and cost up to $80 million, will anchor a new quad envisioned for the north end of campus, according to Kathie Debenham, interim dean for the School of the Arts.
"We wanted something that captures people's imagination. The idea is it will be a work of art onto itself. It will add to the sculptural interest of the university," said Debenham, a professor of dance. "We want to build it once and build it right. We don't want to settle for something that won't be sufficient for your programs when you open the doors."
Seven years is the soonest such an ambitious facility could be built, she said. Other campus construction priorities include general classroom buildings, a student fitness center, a business building and parking structures to replace the surface lots sacrificed for new construction.
In the face of all this need, administrators are still glowing over the school's new library. Its collection has grown to 230,000 volumes with room for twice that. Books are important, but planners wanted a facility that served as an institutional focal point and home base.
Accordingly, it houses a 162-seat auditorium, 31 group study rooms, a family room (with toys and a television) and a well-provisioned snack bar serving decent coffee. Students can take food and beverages wherever they please. But most crucial are the digital learning facilities that have been so popular that Freeman immediately ordered another 100 computers.
"The impact goes way beyond the structure itself, which has won awards. It is a magnet for students," said UVU's new president, Matthew Holland. "This has been a commuter campus. It doesn't lend itself to a sense of community. The library has helped change that by keeping kids on campus."
UVU's Orem campus, developed in the late 1970s, now covers 244 acres. Facility space has grown to 1.9 million square feet in 39 buildings, providing the smallest amount of space per student among Utah's colleges and universities. On UVU's horizon are new science and arts centers, but those proposed buildings will only allow the university to keep up with projected enrollment growth.

Is it me ... or is there a trend of indian recruiters.. like wtf?
I get about 5-6 a day telling me they have a job for me calling me up... i can barely understand the guy, the phone lags because they're obviously calling from India with really bad internet connection. Telling me they have a job for me that's 1200 miles away..
Today I play along, send them my resume etc.. guy calls me up tells me he has a job for me in NYC and i'm in Florida.. I'm like ok whatever.. My hourly rate is $65hrly at 40 hours a week, that'll def make me go to new york for a web design job. then he tells me, its net 30. Net 30! So if i started August 1st.. I won't get paid till Oct 1! Is it me or does that sound scammish. I never had a recruiting agency tell me net 30. I get paid 2 weeks after i start the contract job.
Usually I get them trying to sell web services to me not get me a job, your lucky
I was contacted by someone in India via email trying to get me to outsource the HTML/CSS/JS coding of websites. It was funny because all I did was place an ad on Craigslist in my local market to try to get a website gig so I could make a few bucks. They are very aggressive about hustling business.

StanceButton1 taint in nMainbar
So, Blizzard was kind enough introduce StanceButton1:SetPoint(...) inside StanceBar.lua:StanceBar_Update() :(
function StanceBar_Update ()
So I tried a couple of hacks to prevent StanceBar_Update() from moving StanceButton1:
1. I just override Blizzard's function, however this obviously caused taint issues.
lua Code:
2. I figured I could force the statement numForms == 1 to always be false, because that's the only time they re-position. I figured this was a golden solution, however, it also caused taint :(
lua Code:
3. Now I tried to save the position of StanceButton1 before StanceBar_Update() moves it, and do a hooksecurefunc('StanceBar_Update', ...) and move it after that. Also taint, apparently, you can't do StanceButton1:ClearAllPoints() from inside that hook (WTF?):
lua Code:
4. Next, I came up with the idea of just calling StanceBar_Update() immediately in my code to have it execute before the user position got set. This oddly enough also caused taint :confused:
lua Code:
5. This works, but is ugly as hell and some quirks appear from time to time:
lua Code:
The taint causes a interface blocked action thingie when trying to do action bar switching when in combat, and blocked it from switching. Anyone have any thoughts? I find it weird that StanceButton1:ClearAllPoints() sometimes causes taint, and sometimes it doesn't.
Oh yeah, the addon is nMainbar and here's the MoP source:
You didn't try using hooksecurefunc() by chance, did you?
Can you not move the entire StanceBar instead?
lua Code:
Will not work either. On bars with only one form the StanceButton1 will always reset. Thus you have to actually reparent the StanceBarFrame.
My full solution is here:
I have a new frame that the stancebar is reparented to. On unlocking a dragFrame will show up on a pretty high framelevel thus overlaying all the other frames. The drag event is delegated to the frame in the bottom thus the bottom frame will move.
Since Blizzard doesn't re-anchor StanceBarFrame like they do StanceButton1, when they run StanceBar_Update() it will just anchor StanceButton1 to whatever user position StanceBarFrame has.
Plus I can't have an overlay show up every time the user presses alt+shift (I'm not using slash commands).
So it seems like as of build 15913 Blizzard is no longer moving the StanceButton1 inside the StanceBar_Update() function when GetNumShapeshiftForms() == 1 :banana:
... how nice.
I can confirm that. Updated my version of rActionBarStyler already.

text: SourceNEW YORK, NEW YORK, June 20, 2013 (DNAinfo): The smoldering heat was nothing to thousands of yogis who turned out in Times Square Wednesday for the world's largest Bikram Yoga class. The 92-degree weather was substantially less than the 105 degrees -- and 40 percent humidity -- of a typical indoor Bikram class.More than 14,000 yogis spread out across several of Times Square's pedestrian plazas spent an hour and a half balancing, bending, and stretching, one of three classes being at the Crossroads of the World in the annual celebration of the summer solstice.The class, a set of 26 postures and two breathing exercises, was run by Rajashree Choudhury, a five-time winner of the All-India Yoga Championship and wife of Bikram Choudhury, the founder of Bikram Yoga. "If you can make it in Times Square perfectly, then you are a perfect yogi," she told her captivated audience before the class. "The solstice is the celebration of the sun. As yogis, we worship the sun."The event, put on by the Times Square Alliance and activewear maker Athleta, has become an opportunity for many to experience a more peaceful version of one of the busiest parts of the city. The Times Square Alliance will host one more class on Wednesday, starting at 7 p.m.

In my opinion, the short answer is yes, but it depends on the op-tempo, environment, and what's going on. Each person is different, male and female, of their physical and mental endurance abilities. Secondly, we don't fight wars like we used to. There is, however, still jobs in the military such as SOF communities and the infantry where physical fitness and mental endurance is needed.
Take for example a fully loaded Marine. I'll use myself. At 6 ft, and 195 lbs, plus another 60 lbs for gear, ammo, weapons, etc, you're looking at 255 lbs +/-. Should I get wounded and can't move, someone, or group of people are going to have to carry me, sometimes over a distance. It would suck more if there was no stretcher or vehicle near by. I've just created a liability b/c I'm wounded, but so are the others who are inept and can't carry me.
Another example that comes to mind is Infantry Officer's Course for the Marines. As a graduate of that school, it's no joke. The Marine Corps did a pilot program by admitting a few select females into that school, all supposedly volunteers and in good shape. They were expected to pass the same standards as their male counterparts. All didn't pass and/or dropped out.
While those few females not passing may not mean anything (small sample size), and there could be in fact females that can pass, males have not passed that school either, and I've seen weak males Marines in my time in.
I'm neutral on the subject, and it's a different military these days. If males and females can pass the standard, great! If not, then perhaps they should look into another occupation.

In 2006 Crown Royal released its first XR bottling, a whisky that didn't joke when it used the "extra rare" moniker on the label. Crafted from whiskys salvaged from its Waterloo distillery, which had actually burned down, it's safe to say that if you haven't picked up the 2006 Crown Royal XR by now, you aren't going to.
Now Crown is back with a new version of XR, this one from its LaSalle Distillery. LaSalle did not burn down, but the whisky remains a limited release bottling that will be on sale for only a limited time. We got a sample. Here's how it comes across.
Light and fruity on the nose, this smells a bit like very young Bourbon, fresh and vibrant. Not much wood to be found. This is backed up on the tongue: Very fruity, with apple and banana up front, nougat, bread, and biscuit characteristics. Rye grain comes along on the finish. Not nearly as woody as the Waterloo edition, and very clean. For this price, though, I'd like to see a bit more complexity.
80 proof.

I keep reading things about the MP - "almost silent" "can't tell its on" "quietest tower i have ever heard" "have to put my ear to the case to hear anything" etc etc
Well - I bought one three weeks ago - and well, are we talking about the same machine ???
In fact I was so disappointed I sent it back and got a replacement. It is the same.
I can hear a gentle hum of the PSU and fan noise. None of the above descriptions are anything like it.
Of course these things are subjective - but it is NOT a particularly quiet machine. I have built a "quiet" machine - fanless supply and graphics - mother of all cpu heatsinks etc And that was a lot quiter than this MP.
Of course it's impossible to tell if I have had two duff machines - I really need to listen to someone else's machine and see if they are similar - it's no good going to a store because of the ambient noise.
So if anyone reads this - lives in Surrey/Berkshire in the UK - and will let me listen to their machine (or come and listen to mine) - that would be nice.
And of course all I do ow is sit here and get annoyed about the noise from this thing. :confused:

I don't live in the UK, but I also just switched over from a pc to a MBP, 2.16Ghz Core2Duo, and it is very quiet. Now I can still hear the fan humming, but compared to my work pc which is a dell d610 and my personal pc, a dell d810 this MBP is freakin quiet. Now if your "quiet" machine does not have any fans, of course it's not going to make any noise or it will definitely make less noise than a MBP with a fan. Anyways, hope that helps...
I think Phil79 is talking about the Mac Pro, not the Macbook Pro.

Well, for right now it's just Mika's pictures. Kano didn't want to hold still for me at all when I took these photos yesterday.
I bought this peacock baby toy for my best friends daughter, but I accidentally peeled off some of the "mirror" sheet on the tail so I gave it to the boys instead (will get my niece another one ). Mika really likes this peacock!! The wings crinkle so he was going to town chewing on them and he liked chewing the ribbon sticking out of the tail feathers.
Hopefully I can get some Kano pictures soon, if he'll stay still. Hehe.

Thursday is a big night for the Pac-12, with three conference schools involved in the four games being staged in the NCAA men's basketball tournament.
Stanford and UCLA both play in Memphis, Tenn., where they could meet in an Elite Eight matchup Saturday. Arizona is in Anaheim, Calif.
A quick look at the three games:
Stanford vs. Dayton, 5:15 p.m. MDT
The No. 10-seeded Cardinal advanced to the Sweet 16 with upsets of No. 7 New Mexico and No. 2 Kansas, and now they're favored against the No. 11 Flyers. A team that was in danger of missing the NCAA Tournament as of early March has enjoyed a remarkable postseason, and Stanford is in great position to keep playing, thanks to other upsets in the South Region.<

Nottinghamshire's Second Eleven continue their busy early season with a three-day Championship match against the MCC Young Cricketers.
After their previous fixture against Yorkshire ended a draw, captain Paul Franks drew on the many positives as reasons to be optimistic going into this week's fixture.
"I feel we had the lion's share of the three-day game, to bowl them out on the first day after losing the toss was excellent," said Franks.
"They bowled very well in response, but Adam Tillcock and Brett Hutton were outstanding.
"There is an established level of quality here which means that any number of our players can go out and really put in a good performance.
"The real challenge will be for them to go out and perform like that consistently, and really impress.
Everyone is sensitive to small inconsistencies coming from younger players, but we want to be in the position where if they get the opportunity to perform, they can go out there and do it confidently.
The side will benefit from added experience with the inclusion of a number of the County's senior professionals into the squad. Nottinghamshire's Director of Cricket Mick Newell was keen to have players spending as much time as possible in the middle, in order to retain their sharpness ahead of Nottinghamshire's clash against Warwickshire this weekend.
"We'll have Andre Adams, Jake Ball and Ajmal Shahzad available to play in the three day match," said Franks
"We'll see a couple of the younger pros make way, but this is a busy time of the year.
"A couple of younger lads will have to make way, and it'll be important to get these players involved as much as possible early in the season and get them playing as much cricket as they can.
"It'll also be a huge benefit to them having some more experienced professionals around the squad, it's an excellent opportunity to learn."
Second Eleven Championship squad to face MCC Young Cricketers (from): Hassan Azad, Sam Kelsall, Sam Wood, Billy Root, Adam Tillcock, Matt Cross, Ajmal Shahzad, Brett Hutton, Andre Adams, Jake Ball, Luke Wood, Paul Franks.

This genealogy-based reality series, produced by former "Friends" star Lisa Kudrow and her Is or Isn't Entertainment production company, will detail the real family pasts of TV and film celebrities. NBC's order for the series was contingent upon producers' finding compelling celebs (unnamed at press time).
America's first commercial network foray into genealogy boasts a pedigree of its own: It's the offspring of the hugely successful BBC version <www.bbc.co.uk/familyhistory>, whose fourth-season premiere attracted 6.8 million viewers. Since 2004, Brits have stayed glued to their tellies as personalities including Nigella Lawson and Jeremy Irons discovered their ancestral kin. In the process, the audience witnessed illuminating backstories ranging from wartime heroism to tabloid-worthy scandals.

GOP presidential hopefuls Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum have signed a narrowly written pledge against gay marriage, on the eve of a bus tour through Iowa highlighting values issues.
These presidential candidates "stand head and shoulders above the crowd as marriage champions, for their willingness to go beyond words to commit to concrete actions," Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage (NOM), said in a statement.
The NOM pledge is more straightforward than a broadly written, controversial pledge by the conservative Family Leader group in Iowa.
The Family Leader's pledge drew controversy because its original preamble suggested black children born into slavery had a better family situation than those in today's black families. The group's pledge also contained statements about pornography and Islamic sharia law.
Several GOP presidential candidates refused to back the Family Leader pledge, including Romney and Tim Pawlenty. Bachmann and Santorum were among those who signed the document.
In the NOM pledge, signers are committing to five points:
NOM is co-sponsoring a values voters bus tour that launches in Iowa on Monday, ending in Ames at a presidential straw poll on Aug. 13. Voters who believe strongly in social issues such as abortion and marriage traditionally play a key role in the Iowa presidential caucuses.

Microsoft Thursday said that a surge in demand for Windows 2000 helped it meet lowered earnings expectations and post a modest gain in fiscal second quarter revenue growth.
In December, Microsoft issued a rare profit warning that led analysts to cut forecasts to 47 cents a share. Microsoft met those lowered expectations Thursday and posted revenue of $6.59 billion, an 8% increase over the $6.11 billion it earned in the same quarter a year ago. Net income was $2.62 billion compared to $2.43 billion in the same quarter last year.
Even with the positive earnings, Microsoft officials said they remain cautious about the economy's impact on PC demand and technology spending.
Microsoft said the second quarter earnings were built on demand for Window 2000 Professional, Window 2000 Server, and the .Net enterprise servers, namely SQL Server 2000 and Exchange 2000. But the company did see a decline in revenue for its desktop applications, including its cash cow Office.
"It was a record quarter for the Windows business driven by strong demand for Windows 2000 Professional and Windows 2000 Server," Microsoft Chief Financial Officer John Connors said. Connors said sales of Windows 2000 Professional showed 40% growth, while sales of Windows 2000 Server grew by 20%.
Analysts expect Windows 2000 server, which was released nearly a year ago, to hit its stride this year as many enterprise customers move from the pilot stage to deployments.
Indeed, Connors said part of the server revenue growth was driven by higher than expected demand for Windows 2000 Advance Server, the enterprise edition of the software. But he said Windows 2000 DataCenter sales were so small they did not influence revenue results. DataCenter is the high-end Windows 2000 targeted at mission-critical applications. It was released on Sept. 26, 2000.
Revenue in the company's enterprise software and services segment, which includes enterprise servers and server applications, was up 21% to $1.24 billion.
Microsoft reported $2.06 billion growth in desktop platforms in the second quarter, a 13% growth over the second quarter last year. Desktop platforms include Windows 2000 Professional, Windows NT Workstation, Windows Millennium Edition and Windows 98.
While the desktop platforms showed an increase, Microsoft's desktop application revenue took it on the chin. Revenue was $2.49 billion, down 2% from $2.53 billion in the prior year. The results are significant because the desktop applications revenue includes Microsoft Office, which accounts for nearly 50% of Microsoft's revenue.
Microsoft also reported cash reserves of $26.89 billion. The company announced it expects revenue to be $6.3 to $6.4 billion for the third fiscal quarter, which ends March 31. Earnings are expected to be from 42 or 43 cents.
The company projects yearly earnings to be in the range of $25.2 billion to $25.4 billion. The fiscal year ends June 30.
This story, "Microsoft says Windows 2000 sales boosted earnings" was originally published by Network World.

The producer says it was late director Tony Scott who came with the idea of bringing drones as the center problem.
"Top Gun 2" is still happening despite rumors to the contrary. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer discusses the project with HuffPost Live and reveals the storyline. He says they will explore the role of drones and pit Tom Cruise's character against the machine in the sequel.
"We've been trying to get that movie made for 30 years, and I think we're getting closer and closer," he said. "[co-producer] Don [Simpson] and I tried to develop something, we didn't succeed. Cruise took over, and he tried to develop something, and he didn't succeed. Now we're back at it."
The story that finally worked came from director Tony Scott's idea. "The concept is, basically, are the pilots obsolete because of drones. Cruise is going to show them that they're not obsolete. They're here to stay," Bruckheimer revealed. "It's just getting to the starting place."
"Fortunately for Tom, he's very busy, so you have to find a slot he can fit into and get a budget that Paramount feels they can make the picture," the producer added.
The original movie was released in 1986 and went on to become the highest-grossing film of the year. It rocketed Scott's career and fame as a director and made him one of Hollywood's A-list action filmmakers of the era.
The sequel almost happened earlier. Even Paramount's Head of Production Adam Goodman once said they planned to make the "Top Gun" sequel first before doing the next "Mission Impossible" flick. However, it was halted following Scott's shocking suicide in August 2012.

Red Ringspot Disease
Infected stems at least 1 year old often exhibit reddish- brown spots with green centers. The spots, 1/8 to 1/4 inch in diameter, also develop on the upper surfaces of older leaves in mid- to late summer. The powdery mildew fungus can cause similar symptoms on both sides of the leaf. Plants with this disease exhibit a loss of crop; the amount varies with variety. Because the vector has not yet been identified, the primary form of control is the use of virus-free stock and removal of infected bushes. Blueray and Bluetta are especially susceptible.

Varicose Veins
Non-Surgical Outpatient Procedure Treats Varicose Veins
Venous insufficiency is a very common condition resulting from decreased blood flow from the leg veins up to the heart, with pooling of blood in the veins. Normally, one-way valves in the veins keep blood flowing toward the heart, against the force of gravity. When the valves become weak and don't close properly, they allow blood to flow backward, a condition called reflux. Veins that have lost their valve effectiveness, become elongated, rope-like, bulged, and thickened. These enlarged, swollen vessels are known as varicose veins and are a direct result of increased pressure from reflux. A common cause of varicose veins in the legs is reflux in a thigh vein called the great saphenous, which leads to pooling in the visible varicose vein below.
How Common Is This Condition?
Chronic venous disease of the legs is one of the most common conditions affecting people of all races.
• Approximately half of the U.S. population has venous disease--50 to 55% of women and 40 to 45% of men. Of these, 20 to 25% of the women and 10 to 15% of men will have visible varicose veins.
Risk Factors
• Age
Symptoms caused by venous insufficiency and varicose veins include aching pain, easily tired legs, and leg heaviness, all of which worsen as the day goes on. Many people find they need to sit down in the afternoon and elevate their legs to relieve these symptoms. In more severe cases, venous insufficiency and reflux can cause darkening of the skin and wounds that may be very difficult to treat. One percent of adults over age 60 have chronic wounds known as ulcers.
People who have venous insufficiency can have symptoms even without visible varicose veins. The symptoms are caused by pressure on nerves by dilated veins.
Diagnosis and Assessment
An interventional radiologist, a doctor specially trained in performing minimally invasive treatments using imaging guidance, will use duplex ultrasound to assess the venous anatomy, vein valve function, and venous blood flow changes, which can assist in diagnosing venous insufficiency. The doctor will map the great saphenous vein and examine the deep and superficial venous systems to determine if the veins are open and to pinpoint any reflux. This will help determine if the patient is a candidate for a minimally invasive treatment, known as vein ablation.
Varicose Vein Treatments
This minimally-invasive treatment is an outpatient procedure performed using imaging guidance. After applying local anesthetic to the vein, the interventional radiologist inserts a thin catheter, about the size of a strand of spaghetti, into the vein and guides it up the great saphenous vein in the thigh. Then laser or radiofrequency energy is applied to the inside of the vein. This heats the vein and seals the vein closed.
Reflux within the great saphenous vein leads to pooling in the visible varicose veins below. By closing the great saphenous vein, the twisted and varicosed branch veins, which are close to the skin, shrink and improve in appearance. Once the diseased vein is closed, other healthy veins take over to carry blood from the leg, re-establishing normal flow.

Cleveland Metroparks Part Deux
Generally posting PM's is kind of a low blow (in my book at least). Im not sure I understand your intentions by doing so.
What I think is needed here is a smart, well coordinated effort in affecting policy change in regards to MP (Metroparks). Maybe Im missing something but thats what I took away from Cliff's post. I didnt read it at all that he had anything to hide. Furthermore, if he was trying to keep his "permission slip" a secret, why would he post it here?
Sharing ideas, information, etc. will be they only way to make this happen. At the risk of beating a dead horse, all Cliff did was ask you to hold up for a minute until you coordinated efforts.
The Metroparks IS large enough to have a few small areas for us to fly. All that is needed is a slight policy change. We will never get there with helping each other. Now someone please kick the soapbox out from under me.
Carnifax, it's difficult to confirm what "the respondent" actually said because he deleted all of his posts (and now the whole thread has been deleted). What I read was "Don't contact the Metroparks because you'll screw up my sweet deal I've got going." Nowhere was it mentioned that there was to be a concerted effort or that there were any plans to approach them about electric. "The respondent" simply stated that it couldn't be done and that I was to shut my mouth and take it.
Maybe I should have read further into the statements made and drawn some conclusions that were not actually typed... or maybe I completely missed the point of his posts. But I had my wife read his posts... as did Alex... and they both didn't get any subliminal message. The PM I posted from him did contain additional information not included in the replies to the thread that appeared to have very different suggestions.
The purpose of posting the PM's was to show his final volley. I don't see it as a low blow. I see it as telling the whole story. It was even suggested in the last post by "the respondent" that I should be approaching the Metroparks about a field in the East, West and South because that's "only fair." Oh really? Where are the 3 HLG fields?
I don't think that the Metroparks should be off limits to electric R/C. It's a public park. I can't think of a BETTER place to have a flying field. I agree it would be great to have a concerted effort. But that's not how some people roll.

What you need
If you guys want to open the Metroparks up to RC what you need is one of the following:
1. A large group protest
2. A lot of money
3. The ability to change the mentality of the governing body
Since 1 and 2 are not going to happen, you must work on 3.
Of all of the places I have been ONLY CLEVELAND METROPARKS HAS A PROBLEM WITH RC! I have flown my airplanes in 6 different states, multiple hospitals, parks, open fields, beaches, ect. Never anywhere but the metroparks has there ever been a problem. Every other municipality has seen RC as just another way an individual can use the park. For some reason in Cleveland it is viewed as a crime.
Here in Virginia (and Kentucky too) I have been asked to come back and fly in several spots. In fact if it weren't for the rain, I would be flying FPV at a local church (to which I do not belong nor attend) by their request! That's right, by request. I put on an air show on Fridays for the youth group.
What we as a club need to do is to change the governing mentality. There are such things as parkflyers. Not every plane is a screaming rocketship. For example kites are allowed. Eventhough my Predator power kite is just a kite, it can pull with enough force to roll a car and power kites have caused numerous injuries and deaths. Obviously this extreme is best kept out of the park for the most part. Same thing with RC. Nearly all sports and hobbies can be dangerous if taken to the extreme.
Thus I encourage Paul to see where he can get with his suggestions. Perhaps even using the AMA's guidelines for what defines a parkflyer would be suffice. Paul certainly has many small quiet airplanes that could perhaps show them that RC isn't all bad. After all, he did get the city of Brunswick to open up an airfield just for R/C. Apparently he's a lot better at persuasion than he represents here on this forum. Of course, it would help if he wasn't publicly attacked either.
I wish you guys luck on this. If there is no push back against authority then it will continue to walk on you. Keep it civil and non argumentative. and see where it goes. I'm sure you can get the support of the local hobby shops. Maybe even start a petition by having one at the counters of the LHS.
Thanks Alex. One of the real issues we're going to have is the fact that the Metroparks has their own governing body and their own rules. So they can decide whatever they want on a whim. The commissioners are not elected they are appointed so there's no voting them out. The good thing is they are on a 3 year term and I assume (but have not read this anywhere) that one is off the board every year. So every 3 years there is new blood.
My approach has been to call the operator and start asking questions. She has directed me to someone and he directed me to someone else. I'm not feeling like I'm getting the run-around just yet, but my focus has been to ask questions and try to help them understand what I'm asking for. Currently, I'm awaiting a response from both guys I've talked to about meeting somewhere to show them an electric R/C plane. They can then decide which way they'd like to go.
If that approach doesn't work, the next step would be to attend a commissioner's meeting. Obviously, that's not the ideal route but it's certainly not off the table.
I am tactful on the phone and in person. But I don't respond well to "don't even bother trying, you can't do it." Good thing I've got so much free time, eh?
I think that you are fighting a LOOSING battle against the metroparks. The Corsair Model Airplane Club in Akron has been kicked out of its flying field by the Akron Metroparks. The CMAC has been flying from its field by the Summit County Fairgrounds for 40 years. The Akron Metroparks bought property that abuts their field. The Metroparks does not want them flying over their property. They took the CMAC to court and got them SHUT DOWN. CMAC fought them for two years and LOST.
I feel that the Metroparks were WRONG to do what it did. They should not have bought the property but they did and now CMAC is gone.
Roger L
I never said or even implied this. I guess what I'm trying to say is that we pay taxes to the city (well I don't anymore) to keep the Metroparks open. Thus we have a right to persuade a change... even though we might not get it. It's called democracy. It's what makes this country great.
With respect,

How would you like it if some guy came to the park with a bucket of golf balls and started hitting them in your direction. In his mind he has a right to use the park since he pays taxes. Why go to an expensive golf course or pay for a driving range, he can hit balls at the park for free. So what if he hits a few people or cars, it is his 'right' correct?
Not everyone in this world enjoys RC planes like we do. I do not think it is unreasonable to let the majority of the community and tax payers have a park to go with to enjoy with their families with no Strykers buzzing around their heads.
Personally I do not care if it is allowed or not, makes no difference to me. I have three RC fields I can fly at anytime. I would rather fly my planes then write letters in protest and make countless phone calls. Flying is more fun.

Now, I am not seriously advocating violating the law (ahem) and I claim innocence since I no longer live in the Cleveland area, but...
Imagine a league of rogue RC night flyers setting off an ongoing series of UFO sightings in the Cleveland Metroparks...
I can see it now - Honest card-carrying club-belonging RC pilots by day... Ninja-clad, V for Vendetta mask wearing, LED Elipstik pilot (Jack) by night...
Sorry, got a little carried away!
With all due respect, everything you say is correct. No arguments here BUT at 22,000 acres (or whatever) we are not talking about a small chunk of land. Logically it would seem they could allocate even a small parcel for our usage. Its not as though they dont already cater to special interest groups currently. Golf courses, riding stables, the Cleveland Zoo, fishing spots, jogging/bike trails, swimming pools, flower trails, maple syrup mfg are all spots set aside for special interest groups. Whats so different about RC planes? While it may seem futile and pointless to you, it is right at my doorstep while the closest dedicated RC club is 35 minutes away. Furthermore, the worst that can happen is to be told no.
Are you sure you have a horse in this race?
Edit: Did you know that the Metroparks did at one time have an area dedicated to RC planes?

So, I disliked this show, but not for the reasons most people are pointing out. My peeve was how Vishnu rested his left hand on his head. In the paintings, or even in the shows, it's shown so gracefully. But this time, the actor's palm was in such a mudra that it seemed he was trying to hold up his mukut! What the heck? Anyone here a south Indian classical dancer? You guys know the pose to show ksheer sagar Vishnu right? The left arm is kept pataka right?
Maybe he should just sit up and keep his left hand around his gadda, like Saurabh Jain in DKDM. This just seems awkward and ungraceful. And plus, this actor is kind of out of shape. That shouldn't matter at all if he turns out to be a great actor, but still.
But other than that, I will keep an open mind about this show. It doesn't seem so much of a disappointment. The Rajmatas were so perfectly cast. Kausalya had that soft motherly look to her, and I can definitely see Kekeyi becoming a negative character later on. She has that look or essence about her.
The major selling point in this show, however, was the wardrobe. I think whoever did the costume designing was a genius! This show just might have the best outfits out of all the new generation mytho shows! Even DKDM, which I love beyond anything, went the wrong direction in outfits. Nowadays, the women are so scantily dressed: Revathy, Khyati and Aditi in DKDM(Sati's outfit improved after she was married); Radha in JSK (the gopikas were more covered up than her); almost all the ladies of DBSK; even Sita in her initial episodes of ASR. But this time, the more traditional route was taken in that all the women wore traditional sarees. Plus, the fabrics, especially Kausalya's white piece with the gold gota embroidery were fabulous!
I am definitely going to give this show a chance. It at least deserves that. Instead of boycotting and outright declining to watch, we should see it first, and then be the judge. It's not going to make you any less of a fan of whichever Ram you prefer.

Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Courtney Stodden: Celebrities Channel Pamela Anderson's Iconic 'Baywatch' Swimsuit Style (PHOTOS)
Swimsuit model Kate Upton, 20, most recently posed for GQ magazine and was eager to take on the role of a sexy lifeguard. Were the show not off the air, Upton would be a perfect fit for Baywatch in her tiny orange bikini and floatation device.
Upton tweeted after the shoot: "Thank you! Such an honor the shoot was so much fun!"
The blonde bombshell isn't the only starlet channeling the swimsuit style.
Also imitating Anderson's look is 17-year-old Courtney Stodden. The teen bride, who famously married 50-something actor Doug Hutchison, tweeted a photo of herself in a red one-piece, writing: "Just completed my session; Court does Pam! XO's."
The woman behind the suit, Pam Anderson, reflected on her Baywatch days to Esquire magazine this past March, saying, "I loved being active — running in the sand, working out, being in the ocean."
Back in 2009, Anderson even squeezed back into her Baywatch suit at age 42 for the Richie Rich show during the Funkshion Fashion Week in Miami Beach.
Check out this lifesaving style and let us know: Are you fan of the Baywatch swimsuit statement?

White denim brightens summer and shifts into fall
Denim doesn't have to be blue.
White jeans look sharp and are a summer must-have. They also can be worn past Labor Day, stylists say.
"White jeans are perennially classic, and I think every woman should have a pair in her summer wardrobe," says Gregg Andrews, Nordstrom fashion director. "In your summer wardrobe, white will go with pretty much everything. You can wear white on white and white with neon and, of course, with a nautical-inspired striped shirt."
Andrews says a skinny pair of white jeans is on trend this summer. And it's OK if they are cropped.
If you choose to wear them into fall, be careful of what you pair with them, Andrews says. Don't put on a chunky sweater with white jeans. A nice combination would be a white jean, black leather jacket and black booties. Denim and leather just feel very natural together. That look also plays into all the black-and-white combinations we will see this fall, Andrews says.
Jeans are versatile regardless of color, Andrews says. You need to buy a pair that you can wear with both flats and heels. And for summer, they should be white-white, not off-white.
You also need to try them on to see how much of contrast there is between the pants and your skin, Andrews says.
White denim isn't just for wearing on the sailboat, he says. It is a great way to color block and can be worn to the office or on the weekend.
White jeans have a shorter life than dark denim, so you might need to buy a new pair every summer. If you have an old pair that have been stained or ripped, cut them off and make shorts out them, Andrews says.
Denim is versatile and has become such a wardrobe staple, says Natasha Pace, Zappos.com trend manager. Switching and lightening your denim for warmer months makes you feel more summery and gives you a lot of options for outfits each season.
Pace says if you plan to wear these jeans into fall, go with something such as optic white, white leather, novelty white wovens and lots of gold hardware. Or choose a light beige or ecru tone.
"My three favorite options to pair with white jeans are halters, crisp, structured tees and colorful tunics," Pace says. "Halters that are brightly colored or metallic just lend this really sexy vibe for the night. Structured tees give that sporty no-nonsense, extra-clean look. And the tunic (with a mai tai) just completes the ladies-who-lunch, Jackie-O look."
In footwear, Pace says a sporty, classic Keds sneaker, bejeweled flat sandal or wedge are perfect complements.
White jeans embody summer with the crisp, clean look they give when worn with high-contrast color, paired with neutrals, or even an all-white look, says Sher Canada, Chico's style expert. White jeans work with everything, she says.
"Black and white is a huge trend right now," Canada says. "Chambray and denim shirts are also spectacular with white jeans. If you are one of those girls that does not think that white jeans are figure flattering, buy a slim pair and wear it with one of the other big trends — the big shirt. Totally amazing and trend right."
White jeans can take a woman from desk to dinner, says Josh Saterman, Macy's fashion director.
"If she wants to add a little sexy to the look, find a great boyfriend-fit or skinny-fit with some distress or abrasion," he says. "Subtle can go a long way but adds a little lift to make this look fresh. Throw on a blazer and V-neck tee, and you're on your way."
There are no rules. White looks good in the fall, Saterman says. He likes the shift from stark white into the ivories and bones and suggests wearing boots with this look.
"With a summer white jean, a sandal always looks fun, Saterman says. "The options within sandals are endless. We love the blazer with a fashion layering knit tee or embellished top. This completes your day-into-night look. We also love the idea of the new peasant blouse. ... (which) adds evolution to this look."

Hey, you're a 1337 h4x0r apparently, I'm sure you can figure it out.
"The goal of every man should be to continue living even after he can no longer draw breath."
I'd suggest buying and reading "Build Your Own Security Lab" by Michael Gregg. ISBN 978-0-470-17986-4. It's a good primer on setting up a lab and how to go about the attacks on a lab, and will get you on your way.
Stop the TSA now! Boycott the airlines.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
I'm getting more and more disappointed in the digital youth that will be taking over someday with every one of these posts I read this morning.

Walkers, runners and cyclists on the popular Rillito River Park Trail encounter a rather vexing reality when they reach the trail's passage at North Craycroft Road: a bridge to nowhere.
The expensive and finely crafted bridge — built as the gateway to a planned trail extension eastward along Tanque Verde Creek from Craycroft Road to Sabino Canyon Road — is now marked with a sign that says "End of Trail."
The sign reflects the fact that the trail ends abruptly at a fence just beyond the east end of the bridge, which crosses a drainage flowing into the Rillito. It comes to an end there because the planned extension is on indefinite hold as a result of land access, funding and bureaucratic issues.
The cost of the bridge: about $200,000.
"Right now, we don't have anything planned as far as construction" of the trail extension in the immediate future, said Suzanne Shields, director of the Pima County Regional Flood Control District. The county is overseeing the Rillito Trail and other segments of a loop of trails for non-motorized travel around Tucson.
The reason for the holdup, Shields said, is uncertainty about access for the trail over what is now private property and availability of funding.
"It's a matter of getting funding to acquire the land and to do the construction," said Shields, who had no estimate of the cost of building the extension. "We're still hoping that it would be part of a future bond package."
Further complicating the situation is that the city of Tucson annexed land in the area in July 2012.
The annexation took in property near River and Craycroft Roads owned by developer Joe Cesare, who is building a mixed-use development in the area. Cesare's parcel includes land needed for the trail extension.
City officials said the annexation agreement didn't clarify the outlook for eventual trail access.
"We don't have any direct language in the annexation agreement that refers to the trails system or the river park," said Mike Czechowski, annexation project manager for Tucson. "I really don't know why that language wasn't included."
Cesare said he would provide access for the trail if the county goes ahead with construction of the extension.
"We made an agreement with the county," Cesare said. "We said that whenever they're ready to go, we will dedicate the land to them."
Cesare noted, however, that there are at least two parcels of land along the planned trail alignment that aren't part of his property. The county would have to deal with those parcels separately, he said.
John Spiker, civil engineering manager for the county Flood Control District, said the trail extension "is on hold until the (Cesare) development moves forward. They have submitted some development plans to the city of Tucson for approval. We're waiting for that process to get underway."
Once the development plans and issues such as bank stabilization and right-of-way are clarified, "then we'll move forward — if we have funding," Spiker said.
It's likely to be years rather than months until those pieces fall into place, he said.
"We're still hoping we can work something out, but for now we've just got to wait," Spiker said.
Meanwhile, Shields said, the county is planning another trail extension in the area — along the Pantano Wash from Tanque Verde Road to Craycroft Road.
Ultimately, if both of the planned trail segments were built, there would be passages along both Tanque Verde Creek and the Pantano Wash, which converge at Craycroft Road to form the Rillito River.

Re^4: Help with a regular expression for file name parsingby bontchev (Sexton)
|on Dec 07, 2011 at 13:12 UTC ( #942243=note: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
You checked what? I asked for a regular expression - not for three pages of code and a link to somebody's totally irrelevant custom module!
Meanwhile, I figured out that the horrible BBoard software which this site uses simply mangles the posted code and to get the real stuff, you have to click on the "download" linke (which doesn't download!) and cut-and-paste from the page that opens.
So, I managed to make TJPride's script output something meaningful:
Unfortunately, it is also wrong. This is not the proper output. The proper output, which such data, would be:
Furthermore, I don't want all the stuff loaded into some kind of an array and everything in that array matched simultaneously. I have to do other stuff with each line, you know? I want to process the file line-by-line and, for this particular problem, I need a regular expression that fetches the file name after the "@include" keyword.
Let's make this very simple, shall we? Consider this snippet of code:
Question: What should SOME EXPRESSION be, so that if SOME STRING is"\@include file"
or"\@include \"some file\""
or"\@include another\\ file"
the output is respectivelyFile name: "file"
orFile name: "some file"
orFile name: "another file"
Please do not answer, unless you have tested that your answer actually produces the desired output.

The Queensland opposition's leader-in-waiting
The Crime and Misconduct Commission is conducting a misconduct inquiry into claims Liberal National Party president Bruce McIver tried to bribe a sitting MP to stand aside for Mr Newman.
Labor went to the CMC with claims Mr McIver offered Moggill MP
Dr Flegg has denied he was offered an inducement to step aside and will recontest his seat.
Mr Newman will be endorsed as the LNP's candidate for the Labor-held seat of Ashgrove on Sunday and take on his preordained role as leader.
He responded to news of the CMC probe by saying Ashgrove had always been his first choice.
He did not speak with party officials about the possibility of Dr Flegg vacating Moggill for him, he said.
"I have never had any contact with (Dr) Flegg at all until about the last few days when I've been talking to him about taking over as the leader of the team," Mr Newman told the ABC.
"So I don't know anything about it, but I know that the LNP will fully cooperate with the CMC's investigation."
Mr Newman said the Moggill issue was never raised with him.
"I simply indicated as I've said before to the LNP leadership that I was prepared to put my hand up for state parliament where I'd always said no - that's the bottom line here," he said.
Mr McIver dismissed the allegations as "scurrilous, dirty politics" by Labor.
"At no stage was an inducement offered and I am happy to cooperate fully with any CMC investigation," he said in a statement.
