A familiar face in film and on television and stage since the early 1970s, Paul Sorvino was a Tony-nominated character actor and occasional lead whose imposing presence belied the versatility of his talents. His Italian-American heritage and Brooklyn roots assured him regular employment as policemen and gangsters, both of which he essayed in projects ranging from "Law and Order" (NBC, 1990- ) to Martin Scorsese's flawless Mob epic, "Goodfellas" (1990). But Sorvino, who had trained for nearly two decades as an opera singer and ballroom dance instructor, could be counted on to tackle all manner of roles, from the philandering businessman in "That Championship Season" (1982) and Henry Kissinger in Oliver Stone's "Nixon" (1995) to a flamboyant evangelist in Carl Reiner's "Oh, God!" (1979). He was also a regular presence in numerous television series and TV-movies, though his most memorable small-screen appearance may have been at the 1995 Academy Awards ceremony, where he wept openly for his daughter, Mira Sorvino, after she won the Oscar for "Mighty Aphrodite" (1995). Though his feature efforts became less visible after the new millennium, his body of work in all mediums cemented his status as a character actor of considerable renown.
Born Paul Anthony Sorvino in Brooklyn, NY on April 13, 1939, he was a severe asthmatic as a child, but found relief in various breathing exercises. Among these were vocal and singing lessons, which started Sorvino on his initial career path of becoming an opera singer. He eventually found favor with all manner of performance training, including ballroom dancing, which he studied as a teen in order to work as an instructor at an Arthur Murray studio. After 18 years of voice lessons, Sorvino realized that his opera dreams would go unfulfilled, but he continued to study acting at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. While there, he changed his focus to acting, and after graduating in 1962, landed his first stage role in the chorus of the musical "Bajour" in 1964.
Employment as an actor proved fitful, so Sorvino took a job as a copywriter at an ad agency to make ends meet. Eventually, his career developed some momentum thanks to a Tony nomination for the 1972 Broadway production of Jason Miller's Pulitzer Prize-winning drama "That Championship Season." The recognition gave a boost to Sorvino's film appearances, and he was soon making regular appearances onscreen in small but memorable roles. Many of these parts played to his immediate strengths - his physicality, alternately menacing and protective, and his salt-of-the-earth voice and carriage - but for every cop or hood in movies like "Panic in Needle Park" (1971) or "The Gambler, there were also more nuanced turns like his Gloucester opposite James Earl Jones' "King Lear" (1974) for PBS or the comedy "I Will, I Will For Now" (1976). The latter gave Sorvino a rare opportunity to show off his operatic skills in a scene where his character mimes along with a recording of "I Pagliacci."
After two brief forays into television - as a New Jersey lawyer in the Alan Alda-created sitcom "We'll Get By" (CBS, 1975), and as a tough New York cop reassigned to San Francisco in "Bert D'Angelo/Superstar" (ABC, 1976) - Sorvino returned to regular rotation as a character actor and occasional second lead. He essayed the goodfellas and city cops in "Bloodbrothers" (1979) and "Cruising" (1980) with typical aplomb, though "Slow Dancing in the Big City" (1978) allowed him to show his romantic side as a Jimmy Breslin-style columnist who falls for a ballerina. The TV-movie "Dummy" was another standout project that cast Sorvino as a hearing-impaired lawyer who defends a mentally challenged youth (LeVar Burton) in a murder trial. He even showed a flair for comedy in "Oh, God!" (1979) as a televangelist who comes face to face with The Almighty (George Burns).
Sorvino's career continued to diversify in the 1980s, with roles in Warren Beatty's epic "Reds" (1981) as American communist leader Louis Fraina and as philandering businessman Phil Romano, the role he created on Broadway, in the film version of "That Championship Season" (1982). Television also afforded him solid characters, like the father of a teen who commits suicide in the Emmy-winning "Surviving" (1985) and, in a one-time guest role, the father of David Addison (Bruce Willis) on "Moonlighting" (ABC, 1985-89). Sorvino also returned briefly to series work as "The Oldest Rookie" (CBS, 1987-88), a former deputy police chief who returns to detective work at age 50. A true stage thespian in his heart, Sorvino also helped to found the American Stage Company, which mounted several off-Broadway productions.
The new decade saw Sorvino in some of the biggest and most critically acclaimed productions of his career. He received rave reviews as the menacing Mafia capo Paul Cicero in Martin Scorsese's "Goodfellas" (1990) - an Oscar-nominated film that he initially dismissed after completion, only to change his mind after viewing. He followed up his Scorsese triumph with notable supporting roles in Beatty's "Dick Tracy" (1990) as arch crook Lips Manlis and in Oliver Stone's "Nixon" (1995) as a note-perfect Henry Kissinger. He also took over for fellow character actor George Dzundza on "Law and Order" as Detective Phil Cerreta, who partners with Mike Logan (Chris Noth) until 1992, when a gunshot wound leaves him unable to continue as a street detective. The character's injury and departure from the series was written at the request of Sorvino, who had tired of the show's production schedule and the limited scope of the character.
In 1995, Sorvino moved many parents in the television audience of the 1995 Academy Awards when the camera captured him weeping openly as his daughter, Mira, accepted her Oscar for "Mighty Aphrodite." His own acting career continued at the same brisk clip; he was the opera-loving patriarch of the Capulets in Baz Luhrmann's revisionist take on "William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet" (1996) and made his third appearance in a Warren Beatty feature with his turn as a slick political lobbyist in "Bulworth" (1998). Sorvino was also top-billed as New York Yankees manager J Torre in the Showtime production "J Torre: Curveballs Along the Way" (1997). Returning to one of his more timeless projects, he served as both director and co-star in an independently released feature film version of "That Championship Season" in 1999. He also returned to television work in 2000 with "That's Life" (CBS, 2000-02), a short-lived comedy-drama about an Italian-American family in suburban New Jersey. His feature and TV-movie career remained constant, though the projects were occasionally below his caliber of talent. Still, there were rewarding characters in the inspired-by-real-events dramas "Cheaters" (2000) and "The Thin Blue Lie" (2000), which cast him as embattled Philadelphia mayor Frank Rizzo. He was also memorable as a doomed lounge singer in "The Cooler" (2003) opposite William H. Macy and Alec Baldwin.
In 2007, Sorvino made headlines when he was accused of brandishing a gun at a former suitor of his daughter Amanda. The ex-boyfriend had threatened Sorvino's daughter while she had hid in a hotel room, where she called both the police and her father. Sorvino arrived at the scene first, allegedly waving a gun at the young man, and was subsequently arrested after police appeared on the scene. The accusations were later dropped when it was revealed that Sorvino did not withdraw his weapon and was legally allowed to carry it, being a deputy sheriff in the state of Pennsylvania. Instead of making legal headlines, he was soon back to earning press for his film career, which by 2008 included his second turn as director with the independent feature "The Trouble with Cali" (2007) and a starring role in the cult horror-musical "Repo! The Genetic Opera" (2008), which co-starred Sarah Brightman and Paris Hilton.

One of the would-be robbers crashed through a plate-glass door and jumped off a balcony.
New South Wales police said they arrested the 20-year-old man a short distance away.
The second man made a break for it through the club's service entrance, but the bikers tackled him near a neighbor's fence.

I called it port forwarding. Another term for the same thing. I've never
heard of "Server NAT", do you? No, it's nothing more than confusing to
me. Moreover when I see, that on the page called "Server NAT", one can
only type ip addresses in (and a more or less useful description for the
ip address). Yes, it would be nice, if I could define objects anywhere,
for using them later, but this should be global.
Ok. Don't split hairs! I'll stop this thread now. Was only a try to
think about making some things clearer.

UT Professor: Study Underscores Link Between Walking, Cycling and Health
Want a slimmer, healthier community? Try building more sidewalks, crosswalks and bike paths. A study authored by UT Knoxville professor David Bassett Jr. and three other researchers was published today in the American Journal of Public Health, concluding that communities with more walkers and cyclists are healthier than those where people must rely on cars to get around.

Since their mother died, the seven children of Mr Brown are so naughty and out-of-control that every nanny they have ever had runs screaming from their house.
But Mr Brown has more than his children's behaviour to worry about. He has been told by his evil Aunt Adelaide that if he doesn't marry again within the month, she will cut off her allowance to the family, forcing them on to the streets.
What the Brown family need is a miracle - and what they get is Nanny McPhee.
She appears from nowhere and sets about working her magic on the children - despite their best efforts to make her job as hard as possible.
She has five important lessons to teach the children before her job is done. She also teaches the children to figure out for themselves how they can save their family from a fate worse than death and their father from marrying the dreadful Mrs Quickly...
The children are going mad in Mrs Blatherwicks' out-of-bounds kitchen - until they set eyes on the warty face of Nanny McPhee who sorts them out.
The children won't go down without a fight though, and pretend to have measles. Nanny McPhee makes them take disgusting measles medicine - with very funny consequences.
The children's wild and wonderful pranks in an attempt to drive their dreaded step-mum-to-be, Mrs Quickly away.
The hilarious food fight followed by the magical snowy scene at the end.
Nanny McPhee seems so cold and scary at first but you soon warm to her.
It is really cool how she transforms with each lesson the children learn from her.
Older kids might think it's too young for them as it's about little children and their nanny - but they shouldn't be put off going to see it.
The film is magical, mischievous and moving. With these ingredients it should become one of the top classic kids films of all time.

Changes for version 0.14 - 2011-05-12
- now we require Parallel::ForkManager, Text::Diff, and Test::Base.
- the --- request section now supports multiple requests and even "packeting" (see documentation for details). And it should be backward compatible. Of course, the "expected" sections have been upgraded to expect (and even require) arrays in this situation.
- updated quite a bit the documentation.
- deprecated request_eval and response_body_eval. If you use them, the test will pass but you will be issued a "diag" statement telling you to move to "request eval" and "response_body eval" respectively.
- added new implementation for pipelined requests and raw requests. Rewrote SKIP statement to be less verbose and more in line with what is recommended on Test::Nginx.
- added support for environment variable TEST_NGINX_FORCE_RESTART_ON_TEST. Defaults to 1. Must be explicitly set to 0 to avoid restarting the nginx server when the config does not change between two tests. This also brings support for allowing config not to be set. This way, using TEST_NGINX_FORCE_RESTART_ON_TEST=1 with TEST_NGINX_NO_SHUFFLE=1 and having a config section only on the first test, you can have all tests use the same config.
- added support for environment variable TEST_NGINX_NO_NGINX_MANAGER (defaults to 0) which will disable the nginx management code (stop/config/start). Very useful when you want to run tests on an already running NGINX (set TEST_NGINX_NO_NGINX_MANAGER to 1 and TEST_NGINX_CLIENT_PORT to the port your running nginx is listening on).
- Test::Nginx - Testing modules for Nginx C module development
- Test::Nginx::LWP - LWP-backed test scaffold for the Nginx C modules
- Test::Nginx::Socket - Socket-backed test scaffold for the Nginx C modules
- Test::Nginx::Util in lib/Test/Nginx/Util.pm

Update from the writer, Aug. 16: Since posting this blog entry on Aug. 14, the InsanelyMac forum thread I linked to was apparently taken down. Also, all screen grabs on HardMac were removed "following Apple's legal demands."
Ever since word got out about the leaked version of Apple's Mac OS X 10.5, or Leopard, the InsanelyMac forums -- a popular destination of Mac fans -- have been abuzz.
This thread, which started last Friday, had reached nearly 1,800 posts by Monday afternoon. It provides an interesting historical perspective of the evolution of a code leak once it hits the Net.
Before I continue, I must stress that InfoWorld does not advocate the pirating of software and will not provide links to sources from which to download it.
In the thread, users grappled with whether or not the leaked code was truly available. Once there was sufficient confirmation, users earnestly asked for directions as to where to find a copy of the elusive real deal (as opposed to the fake one that had materialized earlier in the week). There also was urging of others to play nice and host the goods for easier (and more expedient) download.
Later, there were laments of how long it was taking to download the 4-plusGB release (or how close they were), as well as questions on how to go about installing it. Other users readily delivered answers -- as well as demonstrated their own success in taming the Leopard.
One such Leopard hunter, who goes by the user-name "neospy" on Insanely Mac, has gone so far as to post screenshots of his or her installation on Flickr.
HardMac has a user's step-by-step account of installing Leopard, complete with screen grabs.
Back to the forums, though: One user, with the username "moonislune", posted:
"I'm being respectful here, so dont flame me, but I havent seen this discussed b4. So just being curious, why get Leopard now? While it would give us a taste of Leopard, I've heard (and maybe wrong on this) that certain features are disabled or incomplete like full-screen QT video and an incomplete UI. Second, are developer builds up-dateable via software update when the final product is released?"
Some of the responses (all verbatim):
Riffer: "Aparently moonislune dosent have the geek drive in him a.k.a The Force"
DeathChill: "The builds are not updatable via Software Update, but this is just for fun to poke around."
AppleLegal: "to have fun with it. And to start hacking it. Assuming you know how :)"

IDOMENI, GREECE/GENEVA/BRUSSELS/SKOPJE – Hassan Rasheed's papers have been cleared but the Iraqi refugee has spent days freezing in a tent with no tarp on the ground and flaps that don't close, one of 10,000 migrants stuck at a muddy camp on the border of Greece and Macedonia.
They're hoping for a breakthrough in Europe's troubled negotiations on how to handle the deepening crisis. But there was little sign of that Tuesday.
Austria's chancellor insisted he would not to let his country become a "waiting room for Germany," while authorities from four ex-Yugoslav countries on the migrant route vowed closer cooperation to keep people out.
"I've been at Idomeni for 10 days and it's the fourth day I've been waiting to cross over," the 27-year-old Rasheed said. "Conditions are very bad. There are many ill children who are coughing, and we spent the night in this tent under heavy rain."
The heavily policed border, marked by a twin fence and coils of razor wire, remained closed a day after migrants attempted to push through the barriers and were forced back by Macedonian riot police using tear gas and stun grenades. Before that, sporadic closures since Feb. 19 had slowed the number allowed through to just dozens a day.
Overnight, rain soaked many families, who hung up clothing to dry Tuesday on the border fence.
More exhausted refugee families continued to reach the burgeoning tent city in this Greek border town on foot or by taxi. Many walked up to 30 km (18 miles) along Greece's northern highways.
Ahmed Majid, a 26-year-old Iraqi, was traveling with his wife and two young children.
"We have been walking for 3 km. Police stopped our taxi on the highway, which is why we are going through the fields," he said.
About 2,000 migrants are still reaching Greek islands from nearby Turkey every day, despite the recent deployment of NATO ships in the east Aegean Sea.
European Council President Donald Tusk was in Austria on Tuesday to try to persuade Chancellor Werner Faymann to change his mind about the country's decision to accept no more than 80 asylum requests a day at Austria's southern frontier with Slovenia.
But Faymann said Austria was determined not to accept the "policy of waving through" migrants to the rest of the EU.
"Austria is not a waiting room for Germany," he said. "This disorganized chaos must end. … It's important to have clarity on the EU's external borders. (Otherwise) Austrians have to be active on their borders."
Meanwhile, Austria's interior minister, Johanna Mikl-Leitner, announced plans by her government to launch an advertising campaign in Afghanistan — including billboards, TV ads and public bus banners — to discourage Afghans from trying to reach Europe.
Tusk added a stop in Ankara to his schedule, ahead of next week's summit of leaders from the EU and Turkey on migration.
To prepare for the summit, German Chancellor Angela Merkel was to meet French President Francois Hollande in Paris on Friday, and she remained vocally opposed to the Austrian border closure.
"We must stand with Greece," a spokesman quoted the chancellor as saying on a Twitter post. "I am therefore in constant contact with (Greek Prime Minister Alexis) Tsipras."
In Athens, the government said it has requested €480 million ($520 million) in aid for the refugee crisis from the EU, under an emergency plan to cope with as many as 100,000 stranded refugees — roughly three times the number now stuck inside Greece.
Athens is pressing EU countries to honor pledges to accept asylum seekers directly and for Turkey to help speed up deportations. The government said 69 people from North Africa considered ineligible for asylum were deported to Turkey, with another 230 people due to be sent back by Wednesday.
The impasse in Greece drew strong criticism from the United Nations refugee agency, which warned that Europe "is on the cusp of a largely self-induced humanitarian crisis."
A UNHCR statement said inconsistent policies on the continent, which faces its worst immigration crisis since the end of World War II, "are causing unnecessary suffering and risk being at variance with EU and international law standards."
New York-based Human Rights Watch blamed "discriminatory border closures" and the cap imposed by Austria for the crisis.
"Trapping asylum seekers in Greece is an unconscionable and short-sighted non-solution that is causing suffering and violence," said the right's group's Greece specialist, Eva Cosse.
"It demonstrates once again the EU's utter failure to respond collectively and compassionately to refugee flows."
The build-up of thousands of migrants and refugees on Greece's northern borders is fast turning into a humanitarian disaster, the United Nations said on Tuesday as the European Union prepared to offer more financial aid.
Merkel said clashes at Greece's border with Macedonia on Monday — when migrants battered down a gate and were tear-gassed — simply underlined the urgency with which the EU needed to act on the crisis.
But Austria — which last month limited the number of migrants it lets through to 3,200 a day — stuck to its position that it did not want to become an overcrowded waiting room for thousands wanting to make it further north.
Croatia, which is also on what is now the well-trodden migrants route northward from Greece, said it might deploy its armed forces to help police control flows.
But near Idomeni, on the Greek-Macedonian border itself, a tent city mushroomed, prompting some despair among those trapped there. "Macedonian police put us here, the Greeks don't want us back," Yase Qued, a 16-year-old from Afghanistan, told Reuters.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) called for better planning and accommodation for at least 24,000 it said were stuck in Greece, including 8,500 at Idomeni.
"Europe is on the cusp of a largely self-induced humanitarian crisis," U.N. refugee agency spokesman Adrian Edwards told a news briefing.
"The crowded conditions are leading to shortages of food, shelter, water and sanitation. As we all saw yesterday, tensions have been building, fueling violence and playing into the hands of people smugglers," he said.
Migrants have become stranded in Greece since Austria and other countries along the Balkans migration corridor imposed restrictions on their borders, limiting the numbers able to cross.
Police chiefs from Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia, meeting in Belgrade, agreed to improve the system of joint registration of refugees to unblock gridlocks in Greece.
The burgeoning crisis adds to last year's chaos when more than a million migrants and refugees arrived in the EU, many fleeing the war in Syria and walking from Turkey northwards.
Some 130,000 have reached the continent so far in 2016.
The European Commission, the EU executive, said it would float a plan on Wednesday to offer emergency financial aid for humanitarian crises inside the 28-nation bloc — comparable with operations it has launched elsewhere in the world.
Officials said the Commission plan would allocate €300 million ($325 million) this year to helping any EU state, not only Greece, deal with such crises, and 700 million in all over the three years to end-2018.
Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker spoke to Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Monday and European Council President Donald Tusk was on a visit to Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia, Greece and Turkey.
Tusk's tour comes ahead of a special European Union summit on the crisis next Monday. Germany's Merkel said television pictures of migrants desperate to make their way into western Europe via the Balkans drove home the urgency of the summit.
"The pictures show us clearly every day that there is a need for talks," she said after meeting Croatian Prime Minister Tihomir Oreskovic in Berlin.
"We also naturally need to deal with the very difficult situation in Greece and see how we can fulfill what the (European) Commission demanded from us, namely to end the politics of waving people through and to return to the Schengen system as soon as possible and to the greatest possible extent."
The difficulty of reaching agreement on an issue that goes to the heart of public fears for security and safety in many countries was underlined by Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann, who honed in on comments from German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere that suggested he thought Austria might wave through too many migrants.
"What is not acceptable is to say that they should definitely come and then the interior minister says he is against waving people through (to Germany)," Faymann told a news conference after a weekly Cabinet meeting.
"Then how should they go to Germany?"
The UNHCR, meanwhile, urged all EU member states to reinforce their capacity to register and process asylum seekers through their national procedures as well as through an EU relocation scheme.
"Greece cannot manage this situation alone," Edwards said.
Despite commitments to relocate 66,400 refugees from Greece, EU member states have so far pledged just 1,539 spaces and only 325 people actually have been relocated, he added.
Macedonia meanwhile said Tuesday it was stepping up troop numbers at its frontier with Greece, a day after police fired tear gas at hundreds of migrants who tried to break through a border fence.
The move came as Macedonia's foreign minister defended the police force for firing volleys of tear gas at migrants, including women and children, who tried to break through a barbed wire fence into the Balkan country on Monday.
"Macedonia increased the number of army troops at its border with Greece as support to the Macedonian border police patrols," army spokesman Toni Janevski told AFP, without specifying on numbers.
Police spokeswoman Natalija Spirova Kordic said the police presence had also been strengthened at the border as "a preventive measure after the events of yesterday."
In a statement emailed to AFP, Foreign Minister Nikola Poposki said a few hundred young male migrants had "used violence in order to force entry into Macedonia from Greece" on Monday.
"The gates they have dismantled are several meters inside Macedonian territory. Clearly, it should have not happened if (the) border regime was respected," Poposki said.
He said the choice had been either that the police pulled out and let the migrants into Macedonia — and on to Western Europe — without registering them, or "preventing illegal crossings by force and implementing EU Council conclusions."
Decisions on what measures to take when faced with violence are "decided by trained policemen on the spot, not by a diplomat or journalist in an office 100 km or 1,000 km awa,y, Poposki added.
Thousands of migrants are stranded in Greece after Macedonia, along with other Balkan states including Serbia and EU members Slovenia and Croatia, imposed a daily limit on the number of migrants allowed to enter.
In a separate interview with German business daily Handelsblatt, Poposki warned of potential conflict in the Balkans owing to the pressures of the crisis.
"We have to be careful that it doesn't lead to conflict between neighbors. Slovenia sends back illegal migrants to Croatia, Croatia to Serbia, and Serbia to Macedonia et cetera," Poposki said.
"I fear that such a scenario could become reality with a high number of refugees. If in addition, pressure grows from the south of the Balkan route, then there could be a serious conflict situation in the Balkans. We must aim to avoid such a situation."
Macedonia, which is home to 2 million people and has seen tens of thousands of migrants pass through its territory, is a candidate to join the European Union.
The EU however said it was "very concerned" about the crackdown at the Greek-Macedonian border, recalling that Skopje had "undertaken specific commitments" in October to work with EU states to ease Europe's worst refugee crisis since World War II.

Palazzo dei Cartelloni
The Palazzo dei Cartelloni, SACI's main building, is a 29,000 square foot air-conditioned palazzo, located at Via Sant' Antonino 11. It has a beautiful gallery/exhibition space, classrooms, a library, offices, an art conservation laboratory, media facilities and studios surrounding a large, traditional Italian garden. The spacious and light-filled interiors, have been restored to their original Baroque magnificence, with painted ceilings, frescoed walls and marble floors. This location places SACI students in the vicinity of the Duomo, the churches of San Lorenzo and Santa Maria Novella, and is just steps away from the central market and the Alinari photography archives.
The Palazzo was remodeled as a residence in the 17th century for the mathematician Vincenzo Viviani, who had been a pupil of the astronomer and scientist Galileo Galilei. Viviani dedicated his home to his esteemed teacher and placed two large scrolls on the building's façade that describe the extraordinary work and achievements of his master. One notices the Palazzo immediately by the bust of Galileo that crowns the palatial entranceway. Viviani created this monument to Galileo in defiance of the papal ban that forbade honoring the work of Galileo partly because of Galileo's assertion that, "The truth of nature is more important than traditional dogma." SACI's home is, therefore, a unique monument to a man who is considered "one of the two greatest sons of Florence" (along with Michelangelo Buonarroti), an accolade inscribed on the buildings scrolls.
Furthermore, the Palazzo dei Cartelloni was built on the foundations of the houses where Francesco Del Giocondo, a wealthy Florentine silk merchant, once lived. Many scholars believe that Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa is a portrait of Lisa Gherardini, Francesco's wife. Recently discovered fragments of majolica plates and a pietraserena wash basin attributed to Benedetto da Maiano carry the Del Giocondo family crest and came from the Palazzo dei Cartelloni.

Jules Maidoff Palazzo for the Visual Arts
SACI's newest facility is the Jules Maidoff Palazzo for the Visual Arts, a fully-renovated Renaissance palace in the center of Florence named after SACI's founder and director emeritus. This palazzo includes studios for students in SACI's MFA and Post-Bac programs as well as two darkrooms; photo drying, printing, and shooting labs; the Blackwell Design Magazine Library; computer and video classrooms; a fresco painting studio; a language and literature classroom; a gallery; an internal courtyard; and terraces that overlook a garden in which SACI students regularly meet with one another and with their instructors.
The Jules Maidoff Palazzo has four floors and is over 2,000 square meters. It is opposite the Fondazione Circolo Rosselli Library, near the city archives which contain the Andrei Tarkovsky film and theater holdings, and a very short distance from Florence's Oblate Library, a public library with a cafè hosting cultural events which has late evening hours that are ideal for SACI students. Also nearby is the Santa Maria Nuova Hospital, founded in 1288, with its notable collection of historic paintings; Florence's Archaeological Museum; Italy's first opera house, the Pergola Theater; and the Conservatorio of Santa Maria degli Angiolini, a Baroque chapel restored, over a period of eleven years, by SACI Conservation students.

Available exclusively at ellisfaas.com, Ellis has created seven new shades of her cult-favorite Creamy Eyes Eyeshadow (€26/$36/£23). With the new colors, Ellis has expanded her innovative beauty range with inspiring, more colorful shades: Navy Blue (E113), Bordeaux Red (E114), Purple (E115), Lilac (E116), Mint Green (E117), Light Blue (E118) and Yellow Ochre (E119).
I'm not one for gushing, but get me my drool cup. LOOK at these!
|Navy Blue (E113)
|Bordeaux Red (E114)
|Purple (E115)
|Lilac (E116)
|Mint Green (E117)
|Light Blue (E118)
|Yellow Ochre (E119)
Creamy Eyes transform from a liquid to dry, velvety texture upon application. With quick-drying properties, this innovative anti-aging formulation provides all-over, light-weight coverage that stays crease-free throughout the day. A special blend of flower and coffee extracts smoothes skin and reduces wrinkles while restoring lost moisture and protecting from external aggressors.
The range is ideal for a quick smoky eye, since before it dries there is sufficient playtime. Creamy Eyes can also be used like a thick pencil around the eye or to contour and shade in the eyelid crease. For extra drama, cover the entire eyelid using the built-in brush, layer and then fade the edges with the fingertips. When it has dried, the revolutionary formula is extremely long-wearing and will stay fixed until it's taken off with a cleanser. Creamy Eyes glides on like velvet to smoothen, lift and firm the lids. Even a thin film instantly adheres to the skin for superior wear that lasts without budging.
That pretty sums up my experience with these wonderful eyeshadows. With my very first ELLIS FAAS purchase (reviews), I became an immediate fan, but I have always wished for more cool-based colors, and here they are! I need another eyeshadow like I need a hole in the head, but I am absolutely captivated by the glorious colors and will be unable to resist Navy Blue, Purple and Lilac.
Will you buy anything from this new release?

|Federal Work Study (FWS), including Community Service Work Study (CSFWS), is a federally funded financial aid program awarded to students based on their eligibility determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and other financial aid criteria. Funding for this program is limited. Students are awarded a specific amount, and the federal government subsidizes the wages to the employer. This means that the employer pays a portion of the wages and FWS pays the remaining portion. The student is paid the agreed upon hourly wage. Jobs may be with on-campus departments or with off-campus community service agencies.
|Many departments seek students with a work-study award because of budget constraints. Postings for such jobs will state that FWS is required. Students are allowed only one FWS assignment at a time (you can hold several jobs at the same time; however, only one can be FWS). Earnings beyond the award amount will be charged in full to your employing department. You and your employer should, therefore, anticipate your earnings based on the hourly rate and the number of hours you will have available to work. This will determine the best way to manage your FWS award. The amount of the FWS award that you earn and when you earn it is up to you. If, for example, you have a $2,000 award, you may earn $1,000 each semester or you may decide to earn only $800 in the fall and $1,200 in the spring. Note, however, that the award is not guaranteed. If you choose not to work at all in the fall, your assignment will reflect the spring portion only.
|For more information on financial aid and applying for FWS, contact the Office of Financial Assistance Services You can submit the FAFSA electronically through FAFSA on the Web.

I run Opera personally as main browser. I'm running version 11.something.Opera can't yet display some CSS3 stuff, like this pagehttp://www.css3.info/preview/colored-border/I just get solid black borders.
CSS3 is so new. I wouldn't want to exclude the millions of users who're still on CSS2 browsers. And I don't see the point in coding things in 2 separate versions.
What are your thoughts on CSS3 adoption?
I did do some searching before posting.
Well, I'd start using CSS3 when possible. Stuff like roundedborders I'd definitely do in CSS3, because it's simple to use, and for those who don't have it, they can just suffer without rounded borders. It's not a big effect to have on a page anyway :).
Same way with gradients. I COULD use an image to do the gradient, but if I use CSS3 I could do it like that. Provide a solid background color for those without CSS3 support.
Just make sure that the effect you are doing with CSS3 won't kill the pages look without having support for it. Have some degradation :).
You should be looking at enhancing things with css3 so that good browsers get the best experience but older browsers get the standard experience.
Don't use any css3 properties that would break a layout if they were missing in certain browsers. Things like border-radius, text-shadow, box-shadow are just icing on the cake and do not break a layout if the browser doesn't understand them so you can use them safely.
For the more advanced, newer and experimental CSS3 properties I would wait until most of the browsers support them before using them as they may indeed change during development. By all means test and play around with the newer properties (because that's how bugs are found and that's why they are vendor prefixed) but just don't use then for real unless its your own personal hobby site.
CSS3 is being implemented piecemeal unlike css2.1 so browsers will probably never have full css3 support but certain properties will be safe cross browser. You can use sites like caniuse to gauge how much support there is for a certain property.
Right. Like Paul mentioned, I would recommend using it simply to enhance UX. Don't try and create a layout that relies on CSS3. It's like when IE6 was still a concern. Developers had to provide fallbacks for IE6 or older browsers like that. Do the same for CSS3.

This Estate Cabernet Franc has intriguing aromas of rose petal, cocoa and anise. Rich and full-bodied, it has beautiful dark fruit flavors with notes of black tea and tobacco on a long, deftly framed, earthy mineral finish.
Our Block 8 Cabernet Franc (planted 1997) from Seven Hills Vineyard historically played a blending role in our Estate Perigee and Estate Merlot. However with vines maturing, we had sufficient production to produce in addition, a small specialty bottling of this varietal beginning in 2006. In 14th leaf with this vintage, this robustly balanced and integrated wine shows a rich concentration of complex flavors that demanded to be bottled on its own.

From the moment your smartphone gets near the building until long after you've stepped outside its glittering glass doors, the management of
The hand you played at the baccarat table, the drink you ordered at the bar and even the face you made while walking through the food hall are tracked and monitored.
But far from creeping out its patrons, Echo claims the high-tech minders are giving customers a VIP experience that would have been impossible without an army of footmen and handlers less than a decade ago.
Casinos have long been a fortress for the well-to-do with guards, cameras and constant security at every door and gaming floor. Now, with the help of big data, Echo Entertainment chief technology officer
"This includes everything from people swiping into the car parks ... through to using mobile devices from the gaming floor and us being able to track them across the gaming floor through WiFi, through to every transaction they have within the casino," he said. "It could be purchases at point-of-sale outlets; it could be every spin of the wheel at the slot machines; it could be every hand they play at the table.
"There's also an amazing amount of video data we collect ... [and] if we look at The Star alone we have almost 3000 cameras there."
All up, Mr James said Echo had data on 2 million to 3 million customers that could be accessed on demand. This meant services once limited to VIP players, such as detailed wine recommendations and preferred restaurant seating, could be offered potentially to thousands of people who eat, shop and play throughout the company's chain of hotels and casinos.
Tracking raises privacy concerns
He said the ultimate goal was to reach outside the casino and into social media – to the point where Echo could determine potentially exactly what pushes your button, even though you've never visited a gaming floor in your life. "We are a regulated industry so . . . we wouldn't be able to send you an offer about a game you might be interested in," he said. "But if we know your favourite restaurant, your favourite drink or something else we can offer on your birthday, that will be valuable to you. It can't be an in-your face approach; it's got to be subtle."
He also said many customers would probably volunteer for the highly customised experience that big data analysis allowed, but others might have serious concerns.
"But many people just aren't aware of what's going on and if they were aware, they'd have some serious concerns," he said. "There is an obligation on organisations to make it clear. So, for example, when you walk in the door there should be a sign up saying we'll track you on your mobile phone.
"The problem with a lot of this big-data stuff is that people just aren't aware of what they're giving away and how it's being used."
Echo's Mr James said he understood businesses had to be wary of big data's creep and that the casino was careful not to cross the boundaries without the customer's permission.
He added that, in the future, new systems could help prevent problem gambling by telling security the moment banned gamblers entered the premises.

Apple [AAPL] is reeling as Samsung introduces the heavily-hyped Galaxy S4 -- except the company isn't actually reeling as the release shows the Korean company moving to emulate the locked-in ecosystem of the Apple-verse with a phone most describe as "incremental" and a point upgrade to the near one year old Jelly Bean OS.
Same old Jelly Bean, with Samsung-friendly enhancements
The software isn't going to please every Android user: It carries a few zesty new features, some of which might even work on older devices, but there's a series of observations concerning the release that may raise concern, even among Google's acolytes:
The timing of the software release reflects just how dominant Samsung has become across Android's ecosystem -- will other hardware manufactures easily be able to get Google to include features specifically for their devices?
Samsung has also plastered its own customizations upon Android, on which analyst Peter Misek notes: "Additionally, a major complaint amongst Galaxy users is that they do not like Samsung's customized software, especially when it is a downgrade in performance from stock Android features."
During the presentation, Samsung made little mention of the OS. Computerworld observes:
"The unspoken revelation of the evening was Samsung's intention to build its own ecosystem for smartphones apart from Android, Milanesi and other analysts said. "Samsung has grown up and is playing as the big guy, moving away from Android," she said."
"It almost feels like Samsung is trying to set up Tizen as its next OS instead of Android," said Strategy Analytics analyst, Kevin Burden.
These varied murmurings potentially reflect a future plan on the part of the firm to leapfrog itself out of Android and into a new OS paradigm. It will be interesting to see if this is what happens, but I sense dawning schism across the Android ecosystem as other players consider Samsung's advantages in the shared space.
Incremental upgrade for Samsung
Then the hardware: A larger screen seems to be something some welcome, the high megapixel camera will grab nice images at the cost of storage space (though inclusion of SD support will please many), and the processor should help the device drive the curious new video features and additional display real estate.
Some innovations inlcude: the rumored Smart Pause and Smart Scroll were also announced, as Computerworld states: "Both use an infrared gesture sensor in the S4 to stop a video when looking away or to advance text on a Web page without touching the screen."
I am curious how sensitive these features might be, as I can imagine it may not be a good user experience to stop a video when someone glances away, but we'll await real-life consumer reactions to this.
I'm also interested in what I suspect might be signals Samsung has a plan to build out its own closed-type Apple-style ecosystem in its products.
That, at least, is what I see in news the device will work as a remote control when used in conjunction with some of the company's own smart TVs. Nomura notes other compelling sounding features will only work with other S4s or new Samsung televisions.
We've all heard claims Samsung is plotting a course toward presenting a content-based ecosystem with which to compete with iTunes. In conjunction with Samsung-only features and some dominance over the future direction of Android OS development, it will be interesting to find out how "locked in" Samsung's ecosystem will emerge to be in contrast to Apple's own iEnvironment.
Revolution? No
So is this a revolution? Short answer, "No", though most believe the device (available worldwide in Q2) will comprise big competition for the iPhone, due itself to appear in or around Q3. That iPhone will also no doubt be regarded as "evolutionary", rather than a radically different device. That's despite its likely inclusion of biometric security, a much improved camera technology, an NFC chip and a significantly faster A-series processor.
In an echo of analyst reaction to the iPhone 5, Nomura's Stuart Jeffrey concludes: "While clearly a step forward relative to the S3, there is much that is evolutionary about the S4, rather than revolutionary."
Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster agrees, calling this a "largely incremental" update and calling the software improvements "minor compared with what Siri was to the iPhone 4S or even Google Now to Android."
So, is Apple reeling? Not especially, I don't think the company minds competition at this stage of the evolution of the smartphone space, though it would obviously have preferred if Android hadn't reached market as soon as it did.
Based on recent changes in supplier and component orders I do think the company is prepared for relative weak growth in iPhone sales across the next quarter, but also predict the volume and frequency of rumors regarding the features of the new device will increase in the coming weeks, pending its introduction in mid-summer, likely around the end of the quarter.
I do fear that in the event Apple doesn't upgrade its iPhone in Q2 it will see real impact on iPhone sales in Q3 as Samsung evidently intends spending its marketing and promotional coin to widen its Galaxy franchise as soon as possible.
My conclusion? Samsung has a device which will impact Apple's smartphones, but for all the bread and circuses with which Samsung surrounded its release, there's still plenty of space left within which Apple can innovate. That's a good thing for smartphone users of every type. Though I've no doubt the vocal Android-related Internet commenting department and the shills will dispense their customary repetitive doses of anti-Apple rhetoric.
Got a story? Drop me a line via Twitter or in comments below and let me know. I'd like it if you chose to follow me on Twitter so I can let you know when these items are published here first on Computerworld.

No need for Schwab as Hawks clear the decks
Page Tools
The club that spawned all the top AFL coaching candidates for next season has itself joined the race to secure one of them.
Following the sacking of Peter Schwab yesterday, Hawthorn have joined Adelaide and Richmond in the search for a new coach. And the race to beat those clubs to the signature of a successor was undoubtedly a factor in yesterday's surprise move.
While few expected Schwab to survive a dire season in which the club has won just two of 16 games, there was no inkling the Hawks would act so soon.
Schwab, contracted to the end of 2005, was told of the decision on Tuesday night after club president Ian Dicker and director Dermott Brereton informed him the club was preparing for an overhaul of the entire coaching and playing staff.
Schwab, whose high point came when he got the Hawks to within nine points of a grand final in 2001 and who publicly announced the club would win the premiership this year, will see out the remaining six games.
The leading candidates to succeed him are all Hawthorn premiership players: Terry Wallace, Rodney Eade and Gary Ayres.
All have coached clubs to consistent finals appearances since leaving Hawthorn, with Wallace having stood out of coaching since being overlooked as replacement for Eade at Sydney, while Ayres was sacked by Adelaide this year.
While Ayres is considered third choice behind the others for the jobs at Adelaide and Richmond, his chances of getting the Hawks job are stronger given his friendship with Brereton.
Dicker yesterday described Schwab as a "decent, honest and wonderful man", and Schwab displayed that character to the end, even interrupting a question at a media conference to defend Dicker and the club.
"We've battled away and the side has stuck at its task but it's clear with where we are at - two wins to this stage of the season and six games to go - that the club really does need to rebuild itself," Schwab said.
"I'm pretty happy with what I've done, I tried to do it the best I could. I never stuck my head in the sand and wouldn't listen to anyone else, it just didn't work out and I'm sorry it didn't work out."

To be honest, I am not sure how I stumbled onto your blog but I love what you are doing. I also wanted to let you know about an organization you might be interested in linking to. It is called Girl Power 2 Cure. They raise awareness and money for Rett Syndrome Research. I just recently starting working with the organization as my three year old daughter received her diagnosis. She has lost her ability to crawl, speak, feed herself or use her hands. She also has trouble breathing and has started having seizures. Rett Syndrome is the most severe/dibilitating form of autism and only affects girls. Girl Power 2 Cure strives to harness the power of girls to cure this horrible disease. Check it out www.girlpower2cure.org I also keep a blog for my daughter if you are interested www.brooklynbutler.blogspot.com

Hey Patti,
I thought i would let you know the link doesn't work...well it gets you there, but then says "We're sorry. You have already taken this survey," and won't let you get around it. Perhaps you linked to your own quiz or something...anyway, I just thought you should know. :)

Every Last Drop
Patrick Warminski knows about water. After all, the future of his farm depends on it.
"I'm young. I want to farm for a lot more years. I want to try to make sure I have water left, not only for me, but my kids or the neighbors or whatever. So you know, that's a tough question on whether or not we're going to have water for a long time," Warminski, who farms in Carson County said.
There's much more to Warminski's land than meets the eye. In fact, the latest additions are buried, 15 inches beneath the ground. Warminski is one of a small, but growing number of farmers using drip irrgation. Drip tape is put in beneath the soil, and it drips .17 gallons of water.
So is this new type of irrigation saving water? Warminski says he doesn't know yet. It's too new for him to tell, but he's hopeful that it will prove to be more efficient.
It's no secret, irrigated farming in the Panhandle is changing.
"These questions are being asked every day in the coffee shop, at the co-op, and these people are very very interested in a resolution to this question and know that ultimately, we will get to a point where there's quite a lot less irrigated agriculture," Steve Evett, Soil Research Scientist with the local USDA said.
Evett says according to USDA numbers, irrigated agriculture uses more than 80% of the groundwater in our area. However, farmers will be the first to tell you, they don't want to waste water.
"Ultimately, you know, we're, the farmers are being preemptive with the water conservation districts and everything. And we're trying to do what we can these days to make the water last as long as we can," Mark Urbanczyk, another Carson County farmer said.
So just how long will the water last?
That's up for debate. Here in the City of Amarillo, estimates say at least 175 years.
That may seem like a lot, but it's only a few generations.
"Are we responsible for the next three or four generations water? My vote is yes," Emmett Autrey, Director of Utilities for the City of Amarillo said.
Autrey says the responsibility is as much with the cities as it is with area industry.
"We could look at improving our lawns, our landscaping. The Panhandle economy runs on agriculture and oil. That's the bottom line," Autrey said.
So what about restrictions? For the time being, the City of Amarillo maintains voluntary programs are working just fine. When it comes to agriculture, changes could be on the horizon, with concern that local groundwater districts will have less authority.
"Local control to the districts is very important, and it comes back to the same issue. We feel like we've got a better handle on our situation up here, than the folks downstate," C.E. Williams, General Manager of the Panhandle Groundwater Conservation District said.
The state created these water conservation districts decades ago to locally monitor water use.
With the future uncertain, it's a situation that has many in the Panhandle wondering about water.
"Just need to pray for rain," Urbanczyk said.
Praying for rain, and seeking new ways to make the water we have last.

New Poster For Jason Bateman's Bad Words
Jason Bateman is beloved in these parts, and even when his movies don't turn out to be Oscar-winning meisterwerks, there is, as our inner optimist likes to say, always the next one. In this case, the next one is Bad Words. It's the Arrested Development man's directorial debut, bringing a sweary 2011 Black List script by Andrew Dodge to life on the screen. Here's the comedy's new poster. Bad Words focuses on Bateman's bitter, cynical Guy Trilby, a man who likes nothing better in life than snarkily causing trouble for others. He sees a chance for some fun (and possible catharsis) when he discovers a loophole that lets him enter the National Spelling Bee as an adult, and starts making life hell for the kids who compete against him.
Yet along the way – and as he's being investigated by a reporter (Kathryn Hahn) interested in his story – Guy strikes up an unlikely friendship with fellow competitor Chaitainya (Rohan Chand) and decides to broaden the kid's limited horizons. Which, as the trailer shows, include the world of nipples...
Bad Words doesn't have a UK release date yet but it does have a red-band trailer. It's out in the US in March.

Milwaukee has the best yard "stuff"
Before I moved to Milwaukee, I was a frequent visitor and found myself getting lost in various neighborhoods looking for restaurants or the homes of friends.
One of the first unique parts of the city I came across was the house on Humboldt Boulevard that has a bunch of cars half buried in the front lawn.
This fascinated me, and even now I slow down to take a look at it. I'm not sure what I'm looking for – maybe some kind of "Revenge of the Fallen" thing might happen that day – but I do it nonetheless.
Then I realized – people in Milwaukee love having stuff in their yards. And not just usual yard stuff, like those glass globes or gnomes – but weird stuff.
Like a steel giraffe in a wooded, unkempt backyard. Or a ship's anchor. I mean, why not?
Know of any other weird yard stuff in Milwaukee? Sure you do. It seems we all love it.

At last month's Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon, Reid Coolsaet returned a favour. For 25 kilometres, he served as a "rabbit" to set the pace and block the wind for Kenyan runner Stephen Chelimo, who had done the same for Coolsaet a year earlier to help him earn a spot on the Olympic team.
The power of the peloton reigns supreme in competitive cycling, where the effects of air resistance make it almost impossible for a single rider to outpace the pack. But drafting isn't just for pro cyclists: Sheltering behind someone can save a significant chunk of energy even at recreational speeds, and it can make a big difference to runners, too – so it's worth knowing how to slipstream effectively, and when it matters most.
The energy you expend to overcome air resistance depends on two factors: how fast you're moving forward, and how fast the wind is blowing against you. If you double your speed on a still day, you'll spend eight times more energy fighting air resistance. That's why drafting will always be more important to cyclists than to slower-moving runners.
But no matter how fast you're going, if the wind speed doubles, then the energy you spend overcoming it will quadruple. For runners like Coolsaet, a Guelph, Ont.-based marathoner, and Chelimo, cruising at just over three minutes per km along the breezy shores of Lake Ontario, this can quickly add up to a significant drain on their efforts.
Positioning yourself to take advantage of someone else's wind-blocking is a skill that takes practice.
"I like to run right behind the rabbit unless there's a stiff wind coming from the side," Coolsaet says. "Then I'll go to the opposite shoulder of the wind direction."
You have to get close to maximize your benefits: Some cycling studies use a wheel-to-wheel distance of 30 centimetres to measure the effects of drafting – the gap in real-world situations can be much smaller. Runners can't get quite that close without getting kicked in the shins, but years of running in track races with crowded packs has taught Coolsaet how to tuck in less than one metre behind other runners.
So does this really matter to most people? If you're just out to get some exercise, then air resistance is actually a bonus, forcing you to burn a few extra calories. But if you're trying to set a best time or cover a long distance that's near the edge of your abilities, sheltering from the wind could make a difference.
For cyclists, wind resistance becomes the dominant force slowing you down at speeds above about 25 km per hour. But even at lower speeds, there's still a significant benefit to drafting.
For runners, the bar is set a bit higher. Studies have found that you spend about 2 per cent of your energy fighting air resistance on a still day while running at the brisk clip of three minutes 20 seconds per km. That means that air resistance is negligible at typical jogging paces of five minutes per km or slower unless the wind is strong and in your face.
Still, a friendly rabbit can be helpful at any speed, Coolsaet points out: "I think the main benefit is mental unless it's a really windy day," he says.
Having someone else take on the cognitive burden of setting the right pace and choosing the best path along the route can conserve valuable mental energy, allowing you to save it until you really need it in the later stages of your run. That's why many large road races offer designated "pace bunnies" to lead other runners to specific finishing times.
And even if you don't have a hired rabbit to help you out, there's good news from cycling studies. A group of people sharing the wind-breaking duties, it turns out, can ride one to five km per hour faster than the individuals riding on their own. So if necessary, take your turn at the front before you tuck in out of the wind – that way, everyone wins.

|Classic Bowlers add seven 700s; total grows to 91
|Larry Mason
Feb. 7, 2006 - Six bowlers shot seven 700s this week, bringing Classic Lanes' total for the current season to 91. This week's leader, Jason Keller, shot two 700s, while Billy Painter, Chad Dailey, Michael Carter, Tarry Davison and Justin Parmer each shot one.
Stephen Spence tried to add to the total, but fell five pins short, having to settle for a 695 series on Thursday. On the ladies' side of the ledger, Becky Spelman came about as close as one can without hitting 700, shooting a 698 series on Sunday, while Deana Hale collected a 657 series on Monday night.
Early last week, Jason Keller informed the center management that he had set a goal of shooting 10 consecutive 700 series sometime before the current bowling season ends. Based on this week's performance, he may just do it. On Tuesday, Jason rolled the week's highest 700 series, a 771, and followed that by firing a 707 series on Thursday night. Tuesday's games were 258, 246 and 267; Thursday's were 247, 257 and 203. Jason has now accounted for nine of the center's 700 series, one less than Wes Campbell has produced. Jason started the week by shooting a 660 series on Sunday.
Keller is averaging 218 in both the Tuesday and Thursday leagues, and has a 216 on Sundays. He ranks sixth on the high average chart, is first on the high series list with a 791, and has a 299 honor game.
The week's second-best 700 series came off of the arm of Billy Painter. Mr. P. shot his highest series of the year, a 755, on Thursday night. The series moved Billy from 43rd place to 10th place on the high series list, and increased his Thursday average to a 197. Billy averages 206 on Tuesdays, good enough to claim 13th place on the high average chart. Thursday's series consisted of games of 245, 277 and 233. The 277 is his season's best, which moved him to 12th place on the high game list this week, up from 23rd a week ago.
Chad Dailey, a resident of Mineola, shot the week's third-highest series, a 736, tossing games of 258, 248 and 230. Chad ranks fourth on the high average chart with a 220 average. His best series of the current season is a 736, which places him 13th on the high series list. He has rolled six 700 series thus far this season and ranks seventh on the high game list with a 286.
Michael Carter, one of our several L3 employees in Greenville, came through with the week's fourth-best 700 series, shooting a 732 on Tuesday. Michael rolled games of 208, 247 and 277 in collecting his third 700 series of the season. His best series, a 782, ranks third on the high series board. Mike's best game to date is a 289, which ranks fifth on the high game list. Michael, the son of center owners Debbie and Paul Carter, is averaging 209 on Tuesdays and 202 on Thursdays. His Tuesday's average holds 10th place on the high average chart.
Tarry Davison has been in the hunt for most of the season, producing one good series after another. Thursday was no exception. Tarry rolled games of 255, 215 and 236 to complete the night's play with a 706 series. It was Tarry's fifth 700 of the season. He is currently averaging 211 on Sunday and 209 on Thursday. He ranks eighth on the high average chart. Davison's best series of the season is a 760, which ranks ninth on the high series board, and his highest game is a 268, which ranks him 17th on the high game list.
Justin Parmer came through with his second 700 series of the season, this one a 700, exactly. He shot his first, a 717, just a couple of weeks back. This week, Justin rolled games of 229, 225 and 246 to get 700 series number two. Justin averages 194 on Thursdays and 193 on Tuesdays. He ranks 24th on the high average chart. His 717 series places him 22nd on the high series board, and his best game, a 268, puts him in 17th place on the high game list.
Stephen Spence, another of our Greenville crowd, came within five pins of recording his third 700s series of the season on Thursday evening, hitting the pins for a 695. Spence rolled games of 230, 257 and 208. Stephen is averaging 223, tying him with Greenville resident Mike Fletcher for second place on the high average chart, four pins behind new board leader, Neldon Smith. Spence ranks fourth on the high series list with a 779 series, 12 pins behind high series leader, Jason Keller. Stephen ranks sixth on the high game list with a 288, a position he shares with David Gholson and Mike Gilliland. Ironically, Stephen shot a 695 series last week.
Becky Spelman went into limbo for about two weeks, missing her average by a few pins each of those weeks. This week, however, Ms. Spelman came back with a vengeance, shooting the highest series by a lady all year long, a 698. Prior to Sunday night, Becky already held the ladies' highest series, a 688, something she had done twice this season. Becky shot games of 199, 244 and 255 this time around. Becky holds the ladies' highest game at 270, and the highest average at 202. Spelman holds the record for the most 700 series produced by a woman at Classic Lanes, in the double digits, and it would appear that she might be on the verge of adding to that list.
Deana Hale produced an impressive 657 series on Monday night, with games of 194, 269 and 194. The series places her second on the ladies' high series list, and her 180 average ranks fourth on the ladies' high average chart. Deana's highest game this season is a 269, a game she shot early in the season, which ranks second on the ladies' high game board.
Rodney Miller normally shoots around 172 on Thursdays, which means he will give his team 500 pins each time he bowls. His team was more than happy with his performance this past Thursday, however, because Miller tossed a 645 series, 129 pins over his series average. Rodney tossed games of 198, 223 and 224, in the process of registering his best series of the season.
Mike Miller, like Rodney, usually averages 172, and shoots around the 500 mark on any given night. Thursday, Mike shot a 634 series, comprised of games of 202, 199 and 233. Mike was 118 pins over his series average. This was Mike's best series of the season. His best game, to date, is a 258.
Lynn Mills is a retired city fireman. On Thursday, he lit up the lanes with a 652 series, 106 pins over his series average. Lynn fired games of 179, 254 and 219. This wasn't his best series of the season, however. That is a 675 produced earlier in the season, but he did toss his best game this past Thursday, the 254.
Others who bowled well this week include: Nevil Solomon (686), Neldon Smith (683), Bruce Michaelson (676 Thursday/650 Tuesday), Jesse Haggerty (673), Harold McClure (672), Turk Morgan (669), Steve Edwards (666), Mike Gilliland (664), Joe Kirkpatrick (659 Sunday/659 Thursday), Mark Smith (656 Thursday/641 Sunday), Ace Wiginton (656), David Strain (655), Larry Stovall (640), Nick Painter (639), David Gholson (638 Sunday/625 Thursday), Mike Fletcher and Joe Freeman (633), Cliff Whitney (632) and Wes Campbell (628).

Oh, the Places Antoine's Shimmy Will Go!
To quote E Willems, the man who started the thread, "I meant to get a shimmy pic of Antoine, but all I could find was a picture of him making fun of retarded people."
Ah, nothing quite like Beethoven's Symphony No. 8 conducted by Employee No. 8.
It's close to crunch time
and Antoine Walker's lurking beyond the arc
Under the spotlight
You see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream
But Walker takes the shot before you make it
You start to freeze
As the airball hits you right between the eyes
You're paralyzed
'Cause this is Antoine
Antoine's night
And no one's gonna stop him
From the brick about to strike
You know it's Antoine
Antoine's night
He's looking for his shot
Outside for 3 points
Antoine, yeah
Oh Antoine, behave!
Who's going to fire more misses? The storm troopers or Antoine?
"You're not in Boston anymore, Antoine."
"Whatever Dorothy, I got heart no matter where I go. But these elbows need some oil so I can hoist up more 3s!"
Where will that crazy Antoine end up next?
Not sure what label it is, but it sure as hell can't be blue.

November 10 versus Carolina Panthers
After being picked by many as a dark horse division title candidate last season the Carolina Panthers had an extremely disappointing season. Cam Newton, who re-wrote the rookie quarterback record book the year before, became an afterthought as RGIII, Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson had outstanding rookie seasons. The Panthers stumbled to a 5-11 record and Head Coach Ron Rivera found himself on the hot seat. Rivera did manage to keep his job but brought in a new offensive coordinator, Mike Shula.
The Panthers will go as far as Cam Newton can take them. Newton's numbers were virtually identical to his rookie season numbers. The playoff projections that many made for the Panthers was based on second year continued improvement by Newton, something he really didn't show. For the Panthers to make the leap to a playoff contender they'll need their quarterback to be a little more accurate and consistent. Like most young quarterbacks Cam Newton shows flashes of historical greatness, followed by some baffling mistakes. Offensively the Panthers were able to find a suitable second receiver to tandem with Steve Smith. The emergence of Brandon LaFell has taken some of the attention away from Smith and given opposing defenses another look. Defensively the Panthers had a difficult season with a variety of injury problems. One bring spot was the Defensive Rookie of the Year season that their top draft pick Luke Kuechly had. The rookie from Boston College was an impact right from the beginning and is the type of middle linebacker/tackling machine that the Panthers can build on for years to come. In this year's draft the Panthers took Star Lotulelei from Utah, a potential elite defensive lineman. With the addition of Lotulelei the Panthers suddenly have a potentially stout front seven.
Even with the improvement in Carolina, the 49ers should be heavily favored. They have a significant advantage over Carolina in virtually every facet of the game, specifically with the emergence of Colin Kaepernick. If they can exert their will offensively and force the Panthers into short possessions or turnovers on offense this game could be a blowout.

This multipurpose room remodel was mostly finished a few months ago. It has been such an amazing space for us. A very long time ago, this was actually the garage. By the time we moved in, it had been converted into a dark and cold windowless space. At some point, a previous owner had walled off a corner of it to create an extra bedroom. Both "rooms" had no heat source. For us, it was only used as storage up until the remodel was complete.
Jeremy had ambitious plans. It was to be an office for the both of us. It was also meant to replace my sewing room and was somehow going to be a playroom for the kids. No matter how many times he explained how it was going to work, I didn't understand how everything could fit. I was also worried that the various uses wouldn't co-exist well. By this point I have learned to trust him though because he is ridiculously good at this stuff. He always made sure I had my input, but the vision was all his.
Besides having no heat source, it also wasn't insulated well. Jeremy tore the ceiling and Sheetrock off so he could insulate it. He stripped everything. He tore out the room that had been added to create a large open space. The closet was torn out and a new, more efficient one, was built in a different location. He added windows which not only gave us natural light, but also greatly improved the look of our house from the exterior.
The space was finished a week before I started a freelance job. The timing couldn't have been more perfect. I was immediately able to appreciate what my husband had built for us. When I needed to get work done while it was just me and the kids at home, it was actually possible. They could occupy themselves in the play area while I worked on my laptop. Previously, I would sit on the couch to work and the kids would climb all over me. For the first time, I was able to do efficient work and not feel like I was upsetting the kids.
My tall work table is perfect for screen printing, cutting out sewing projects, and for ironing. All of the things I don't want the kids to touch while I am in the middle of a project are high enough that they can't reach them. I also love that it's easier for me to stand to work because the table is at a comfortable height.
Everyone in the house loves the space. I also can't believe how much easier it is to keep the rest of the house clean because all of the toys are in this one room now. It is amazing.
There are still a few small things to finish. We are going to add a large game cabinet by the piano (as you can see above, we have a lot of board games). Jeremy also has plans to eventually put in a wet bar on the same wall.

If you're like me you never have your business cards when you really need them. You might have a card case, but how often do you carry that with you when you're not headed to a business function? Carrying them in your wallet doesn't work; it doesn't take long before they're mangled from the heat and weight of being below you all the time.
But, there's an easy solution. You always have your phone on you, so stash a few on the inside of your phone case. The phone keeps them flat, and the ink doesn't wear. You could buy a special phone case like this one that has a built-in storage area, but why spend more money? I've been testing this for a couple of months, and it not only maintains the condition of the cards, it's saved me a few times already.

This _may_ be possible if m0n0wall supports the particular chipset of USB to Ethernet adaptor you
use, however I very much doubt you'll get acceptable performance. I would expect a laptop of that
age to only have USB 1.1 which runs at a maximum of 11 Mbps half duplex, giving you at most 5 Mbps
of throughput if you're very, very lucky.
I really wouldn't say it's worth it, unfortunately.

They may have only been in the house for a few hours, but tensions are already rising in the Celebrity Big Brother house, with TV personality Lionel Blair branding Jasmine Waltz's behaviour "awful" and calling her acting career "a load of b*******."
While the celebrities sipped on champagne and celebrated their arrival, some seemed to enjoy themselves a little too much.
Later on last night, Waltz rolled around on the floor insisting shackled partner Sam Faiers take her out for a cigarette.
As the American model tried to drag the TOWIE star outdoors, Blair looked on shocked, saying to Made in Chelsea's Ollie Locke: "I don't like her being like that."
"I've got a daughter and she would never behave like that. It's awful."
Ollie tried to play devil's advocate, reasoning: "She was bought up in Vegas and that's a very different world."
The entertainer replied by mimicking Waltz, saying: "'I'm an actress, I've done movies'. What a load of b******.
"I'm so happy to be in here with people like you, him, Sam... it's wonderful. But that is upsetting me."
With the shackles on for the foreseeable future, will Jasmine prove too much of a party animal for her fellow housemates?
