LeAnn Rimes' Twitter Detractors Respond to Lawsuit: It's Not an Invasion of Privacy, Nor Was Tape Edited (EXCLUSIVE)
After news surfaced Thursday that LeAnn Rimes' legal team filed a lawsuit against individuals that they call a group of Twitter cyber-bullies, several of Rimes' detractors are firing back with a demand of a clear recitation of the facts.
Kelly Mahan Jaramillo, a film scorer with prominent Hollywood credits, used Celebuzz's comment board late Thursday to respond to the lawsuit — and listed the name of her talent agency, Burbank, Calif.'s Gorfaine/Schwartz, as the possible source for a defending attorney.
What do the Tweeters say about Rimes?
Rimes' suit focuses on two individuals — Kimberly Smiley and Lexi Smiley — alleging the women are supporters of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville, the ex-wife of Rimes' current husband, Eddie Cibrian.
The audio tape of Rimes and a Twitter detractor, recorded recently, is undoctored, Jaramillo says — while Rimes' attorney in L.A., Larry Stein, bases his case on that there was a tape recorded at all, without Rimes' consent — even as a public figure.
"Mr. Stein, if you and your client feel that the bullying of Leann has sent her to rehab, and the taping of her calling Kimberly Smiley is grounds for a lawsuit," Jaramillo wrote.
"Please call experts in the field of audio editing for testimony, rather than making ridiculous and unfounded claims to an online tabloid."
Jaramillo's film credits are quite lofty — including Steven Spielberg's films The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Amistad, and Saving Private Ryan.
The ties between Jaramillo, who goes by the Twitter handle @KellyMJara, and the group of Twitter harassers, as Rimes calls them, are unclear.
"According to you, the call that YOU made to @8smileys did not exist," Jaramillo wrote on the Celebuzz comment board, apparently directed at Rimes.
"Now, this 'non-existent' call has been 'edited.' Your poor [lawyer] Mr. Stein is eating Tums for breakfast, lunch and dinner over that glaring discrepancy alone."
She added, "We are ready and willing to go to court to prove there is not one single edit in either the 'snippet' OR the full 20-minute tape … I gave Mr. Stein our information so that he could contact us when he was preparing his lawsuit to prove that LeAnn Rimes has been the victim of bullying and illegal activity."
Stein's case is based on wire-tapping — not on the authenticity of the tape.
He told Celebuzz, "It's a violation of criminal law to tape someone. At some point you have to stamp your foot — and say enough is enough. I think that's the point LeAnn has come to."
Stein noted he could pursue several options, including false light — but ultimately decided only on invasion of privacy.
The Tweeters hit to — where else — Twitter Thursday, both before and after news of the lawsuit was filed.
@EileenYover — who describes herself as "a proud member of the Brandi Bunch" — wrote Thursday: "Being accused of putting someone in "Anxiety Rehab" Now THAT'S a first! lol."
@acmomma2 @drealities I know, will be quite funny to use my tweets as "bullying"
— Bree(@bree_sees_BS) August 30, 2012
The Celebuzz comment board also lit up with comments going every which way. This is a sampling of some of the messages that were posted Thursday:
JoBlo: "Here's a tip, LeAnn: STAY OFF TWITTER AND FACEBOOK! It is possible to live a happy life without social media. If you can't, you have bigger problems than your haters, who are obviously disturbed. Why would you want to interact with them at all? Just say no to social media!"
BustedBs: "I implore you to stop caring about this silly celebrity and lead a productive life. Surely someone needs you. Life can be taken away tomorrow. People like LeAnn do themselves in, all by themselves. I'm very concerned about people wasting their lives as such. It is cyberbullying. Doesn't make you look good at all."
Susie Collins: "There are two sides to every story. Instead of trying to play LeAnn as the victim, you should have contacted the Twitter girls you mention in the above article. If you did, you would have found out that they started following her and commenting on her AFTER they witnessed Leann and her twitter followers bashing and harassing Brandi. There are screen shots of LeAnn laughing and encouraging her followers to say vile nasty things to the mother of her step children after she is the one who broke up the family. LeAnn Rimes is NOT THE VICTIM. Sad that you are so intent to get on her good side, that you didn't research the story."
Erin: "Kelly Jaramillo – and your ilk – move on. Find something productive to do with your life. I'm wasting my last three minutes at work. Apparently you're dedicating your entire life to inserting yourself into the lives of total strangers. Odd. Really, disturbingly odd."Celebuzz Single Player No Autoplay (CORE) No changes are to be made to this player
Gee Gee: "LeAnn Rimes is not the victim of bullying, she is using the "nervous brake down and anxiety" in order to take the attention away from the fact that she was caught red handle. She was recorded talking garbage about Brandi, Eddie's ex-wife. She is using the rehab story to deflect from the real story. No one is harassing LeAnn, but LeAnn has harassed Brandi and has had her fans harass Brandi and Brandi's supporters. It is all documented — ALL OF IT LeAnn, you know your time has come and now you want to use the 'going into rehab because I have been bullied and harassed' is all lies!!"
Heather: "LeAnn seeks people out to argue with on Twitter, including people who are only complimenting Brandy. I know it sounds crazy, but, I have seen this happen."
What do you think will happen with this case? Do you believe LeAnn or the Tweeters?

|Re: ant task submission....compilewithwalls
|Tue, 26 Aug 2003 11:59:16 GMT
yeah, that's weird. I see the html file in my sent mail, but once I received it back from the list, it is not there. So anyways, here is the summary. In a project, there can be lots of modules and it is important to make sure the designs are not violated. certain packages depend on other certain packages. Sometimes we accidentally put dependencies were we did not mean to put them. At an architectural level we prevent this by putting stuff like server, client, and api in three totally separate source trees so that the client doesn't depend directly on the server but depends on the api only. CompileWithWalls is designed to put up the walls at the design level. Basically, lets say your server has a player, recorder and a mediasession that uses both. player should not depend on recorder and recorder should not depend on player. Here are the packages..... biz.xsoftware.media.player biz.xsoftware.media.recorder biz.xsoftware.media Currently if they are all in the same source tree, people may accidentally introduce dependencies between recorder and player making them unreusable and violating the design laid out. compilewithwalls is defined like so to prevent this <compilewithwalls> <walls> <package name="modA" package="biz.xsoftware.mod.modA"/> <package name="modB" package="biz.xsoftware.mod.modB"/> <package name="mod" package="biz.xsoftware.mod" depends="modA,modB"/> </walls> <javac>NORMAL Javac task with same params</javac> </compilewithwalls> Notice closely that all the dependencies of the packages are clearly stated in the walls element. If many people start to like this, there may be a walls attribute later specifying the file with the walls element of dependencies. The above guaranteed that modA will not be able to put code in that depends on modB and vice versa. It also allows code to be put in mod that depends on modA and modB. Another common use would be in a common module. I just put these same walls up and was disgusted by some package dependencies I accidentally introduced. This helps me prevent myself from doing it. Currently at work we prevent this same thing by having separate source trees and people are complaining up a storm. The thing is when we went to that structure we realized all these dependencies that we didn't want existed. This helps with that problem of allowing one to keep one source tree and put up walls that prevent other packages to be used from certain packages that are supposed to be independent. what do you think? I already know my company wants to use it, a friend at another company wants to use it, and I want to use it on my open source project also. I am curious what others think. I hope you will try it on your common module and see what dependencies pop up. I have attached the a zip this time with everything in it including the html file so it doesn't get stripped. thanks, dean Conor MacNeill wrote: >On Tue, 26 Aug 2003 01:22 pm, Dean Hiller wrote: > > >>Hello, >> What is the acceptance process of a new task?

I just can not imagine the look on the face of my players when they start using this item.... I think they will have to go and retrieve this one in mere days from now.
As spoken by Moonhunter, I would like to put in here the comment that the story usualy is the most important part of an item, but it is practical to have a hint of what the item is capable of.
In this case you see that just a hint is enough, but I would not encourage other people to always try to get away with such a short description of the capabilities of such an item.

Great story, but my question about the swords remains....
Oke, two experiments at once.... (see if I can edit my comment now and be a bit more positive)
If I read the magical properties correctly, you mean to say that the magic only functions when you are of pure elvenblood?
And the magic is capable of destroying (I would say any) weapon wielded by a evil person.
Hmmm, I think that by rewriting the magical properties section just a tiny bit, you just might have created a very good item here.

As far as I can see, a single shuriken is not going to kill most characters. Even if the thing always hits, it still is not a kill item in a normal D&D setting.
(damage = 1d4 average hitpoints for a commoner is 1d8)
Even if the shuriken would ignore all natural, metal, wooden and leather armor, you would need quite a couple of these to kill a decent sized dragon.... (20d12 hitpoints I think)

Then just change it into a spell, so you can make a potion out of it with the brew potion feat would be fun.
I think I will use it this way..... (Yes my remarks make this a D&D item.)

Seems a pretty expensive item, as the save DC's are pretty terrible.
I do ponder on the duration. I can hardly imagine they cause lasting blindness and deafness. I would assume that this would be based on the spell used and thus from the DC I can derive the caster level.... ehhr no, I still need the Inteligence or Charisma bonus of the creator.
As I see the DC's, I assume this was D&D based?

I like the idea, but as there is so much calculation involved, I am afraid there is little chance I will use it.
It is just too complicated.
I also wonder about the original system this plant was designed for....

ehhr, on second thought it does not need that much rewriting, it is more like finetuning.
Yesterday I sat down with some books and now I have to come up with a pricetag, dammage and some other things. I was also pondering the drain of life force for extending the flail...
My first inclination would be that it should be more expensive, or there should be a cost based on the "needed" extra length.
I am going to print it and think it over...

hmmm, a dangerous contraption indeed.
I would say you need to make a ride-check (wonderous vehicle or hot wheels) to stay in control.
The dammage people take when falling of or when the cart makes a wrong turn is terrible by the way. I would assume that the people traveling this way would typically be wizards and other "studious" characters. Warriors, Nature folk and such would probably prefer traveling on horse-back...
The general idea is great fun though. I would personaly assume that a person had to make a control check every minute for instance, unless of course there are paved roads to travel by, which seems not very likey in a medieval setting.
Oh, yes the required skill is special in such, that you always need to train.... by riding the vehicle....
I think the skill should be a class skill for all those that have knowledge arcana, disable device or a mechanical construction craft as a skill with at least five ranks.

I very much like the idea.
As Strolen and Manfred correctly point out, a curse sometimes may be turned to good use.
PC's may not like this one much, but how about a painting that cancels good magic? I can imagine that a necromantic inclined wizard would feel this is a very nice asset...
I can also imagine this item to be a perfectly intresting plot hook...
I picture the PC's joining a perfectly hospitable dinner with a important person, perhaps the major of a major town. One one of the walls hangs a nice landscape painting, in which the peasants almost seem to move.... almost? on close inspection, the peasants are moving and tending the land....
I realy can not imagine that I would have to explain the rest of the plot...

My party used to have the same kind of problem with a necklace of fireballs....
Any time it gets hot, the necklace needs to do a save as well... Fortunatly for the wearer, it made the save everytime....
Here you do have the option not to fill the axe with oil, which would just reduce it to a normal axe.
In my world, the greataxe variety of this thing will appear in no time. (I see a hobgoblin wielding it alreayd)

It was one of the most controversial films of the 1970s: an English-language biopic of the prophet Muhammad that was bankrolled by Libyan leader Muammar Gadafy and went on to trigger a fatal siege ahead of its US premiere.
Now The Message could be scheduled for a grand return to the fray courtesy of a remake.
Oscar Zoghbi, a producer who worked on the 1976 original, has announced that a new version is to be filmed around the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.
"We have only the utmost respect for [the original film] but technology in cinema has advanced since the 1970s," Zoghbi said yesterday. "This latest project will employ modern film techniques in its renewal of the first film's core messages."
The new film, The Messenger of Peace, is being scripted by Ramzi Thomas, whose credits include Some Call it Loving, Halloween 5 and Appointment with Fear. Thomas said: "In the 21st century there is a real need for a film that emotionally engages audiences on the journey that led to the birth of Islam."
A spokesman for the producers suggested to Reuters that the film's funding and production schedule had yet to be finalised, promising that details would be announced "in due course".
The Message prompted controversy in the US when it was rumoured that Anthony Quinn was starring as Muhammad. In March 1977, a dozen Muslims stormed three civic buildings in Washington, taking 149 people hostage and demanding the film be destroyed. The now notorious Hanafi Muslim Siege resulted in the deaths of a police officer and a radio reporter, while council member, and future mayor, Marion Barry was wounded by a shotgun pellet. The hostages were eventually released after a 39-hour standoff.
While the Qur'an does not explicitly forbid images of Muhammad there are some that discourage the visual representation of any living creature. The concern about depicting Muhammad is that it will lead to idolatry, which is forbidden in Islam.
Most Muslims follow convention and avoid images of the prophet and choosing an actor to play him could be problematic, so would filming in Mecca and Medina. Both cities are strictly off-limits for non-Muslims, so all the cast and crew would have to be Muslim, and the project would need approval from the Saudi government.
The 1976 film, starring Quinn as an Arab follower of Muhammad, was funded by Gadafy. The prophet is not seen or heard in the film. Instead the director, Syrian-born Moustapha Akkad, signified Muhammad's presence with light organ music and occasionally framed the film from the prophet's point of view as he observed the actions of his followers. Two versions of the picture were shot, one in Arabic and the other in English.
Speaking at the time, Akkad claimed he made The Message because he wanted to explain Islam to a western audience. "I think there was something personal, being Muslim myself who lived in the west, I felt that it was my obligation, my duty, to tell the truth about Islam," he said.
Portraits of key Islamic figures have prompted protests around the world and the film is likely to renew debate about freedom of expression and self-censorship. Random House recently cancelled the publication of The Jewel of Medina, a book about one of Muhammad's wives, after fears that it would offend Muslims. It was also pulled in the UK, when the publisher's London home was firebombed.

Sandbox games have always appealed to me in concept, mainly because I'm a total nerd for designing things needlessly from scratch. The problem is, when I actually come to play one I realise one very important fact: without any goals, sandboxing is boring.
The idea of a sandbox is pretty great: a video game world where you are free to think, act and participate without restrictions. As a concept it's been around for decades – off the top of my head I'm thinking about Super Mario 64 and my personal all-time favourite console game: Left 4 Dead.
You're roaming a world with relative freedom of movement, although the game has given you specific tasks that you need to complete to advance. It adds an element of surprise and spontaneity to linear storyline-based traditional game play, and basically means it can be fun to keep playing the same levels over and over again.
But in mobile apps there are a bunch of real bare-bones sandbox games and, man alive, are these things dull.
Eden to me was just crazy boring and annoying to navigate. You can pick between a flat world or "normal" terrain with hills and trees and stuff. It's virtual Lego. You can dig holes, construct buildings(if painfully because, as I said, navigating this world is quite awkward), create lakes, paint stuff, blow stuff up with TNT, chase, capture and destroy little monster creatures that scurry about. Apparently people build exact replicas of King's Landing in it. I personally don't get the appeal. On the other hand, my two-year-old thinks it's fantastic. She mainly just builds wooden structures and sets them on fire. It costs 99¢ for iOS 3.2 or later.
AFR rating: 3/5
All of these games let you build/destroy in blocky units, which is a style I am totally willing to accept. But the graphics in The Sandbox are so unnecessarily poor it made my eyes sore. There are some "tasks" for you to complete like mixing stone and fire to create lava, and each completed task earns you Mana points, which can be used to buy building elements such as "steam" and "wood", but the whole thing just lacked interest for me. You can buy Mana to fast-track your building abilities but why would you bother?
It is free for Apple and Android.
AFR rating: 2/5
Blockheads, I feel, struck an acceptable balance between free world exploration and construction fun, reasonable picture resolution, and goal-oriented tasks. You port into a randomly created world. It is made up of various elements, which you will need to collect, harvest or mine to create items you may want or need. You get a workbench at which you can create other item-specific workstations like a tool bench, woodworking bench etc.
From there you make stuff you need, build shelter, forage for food, hunt and skin animals for leather and fur, and make items like clothes or mining tools – you get the idea. As you make things you can upgrade your benches to make increasingly advanced items like electricity and stuff. I got bored with it after a few days, but it was pretty all right and it's free for Android and Apple.

Anger at a softer light shone on the Fuhrer and co
Page Tools
Another look ... Bruno Ganz as Hitler and Heino Ferch as Albert Speer.
Historians have condemned Downfall, the new film about the last days of Hitler, for its sympathetic portrayal of characters in the bunker.
"Soldiers who appeared to be good, solid troops were probably really up to their necks in war crimes of the first order," said Professor David Cesarani, a specialist in Jewish history.
Peter Longerich, professor of modern German history at Royal Holloway, University of London, has criticised the characterisation of Albert Speer, the doctor Ernst-Gunter Schenck and Hitler's secretary, Traudl Junge. "We have only one source for Albert Speer's claim that he confessed in the bunker to having sabotaged Hitler's orders, and that is his own memoirs," he said.
"Traudl Junge never admitted she was a member of the Nazi party; but of course she was a member of Nazi organisations - far from the innocent, naive young woman we see in the film. And Dr Schenck was involved in performing various experiments on people in concentration camps."
Cesarani said: "As for [Wilhelm] Mohnke, I never thought I would see a film that portrayed sympathetically a man who was responsible for a massacre of British troops outside Dunkirk; just one of the things he did in his nefarious career."
But Oliver Hirschspiegel, director of Downfall, said at a discussion in London: "We decided anything you saw in the film had to be based on actual accounts. When it comes to the meeting between Hitler and Speer, Speer's account is all we have. It was never proven that Schenck was involved in experiments."
Cesarani praised Bruno Ganz's portrayal of Hitler, which some criticised for being "too human". But he said the film had "almost capitulated to the Nazi myth of the Germans holding back the eastern hordes" and there was a whiff of "victim culture" about the film, "emblematic of a certain current mood in Germany".
Hirschspiegel denied that: "There is no way the Germans can underplay the worst crime that ever happened in mankind ... but there was a certain aspect of heroism derived from the fighters ... There is some nobility in it, even. I wanted to supply a picture of humanity, although they were perpetrators."
The Guardian
Downfall screens at the Valhalla on Friday and Chauvel next Tuesday as part of the Festival of German Films. It opens for general release on April 21.

The US was born in debt. The earliest full reckoning of US national debt was compiled by Alexander Hamilton, the first US Treasury Secretary, who was sort of like the Nate Silver of his era--a self-taught economist.
The analysis dates to 1790 and puts the newborn US at around a 30% debt-to-GDP ratio, with the debt a bit higher than $75 million. Where did that debt come from? Well, the Continental Congress, the rough equivalent of the Federal government in revolution-era America, lacked the power to tax.

Best Ways to Keep Your Skin Fresh This February
The best ways to keep your skin feeling fresh during this brittle winter season
By Amber Snider
What's the first thing that happens to your body when the temperature drops? Get your mind out of the gutter, really, we're just talking about your skin. You feel the cold, and your skin takes a beating because of it. Moisturize your body's largest organ properly throughout the winter via the following: serious water intake, good daily moisturizer, and yes, a nightly cream. (yes, it's time to take care of your skin via that nightly cream, especially if you're over 35. You'll thank us come…Friday?)
So now that you're "with" us on this, I'm sure you're wondering: But how do I do that exactly? What's your best, professional advice to keeping my skin aglow, happy, and ultra-fashionable. Any tips for brands and remedies?
Well now that you asked, sure. That's what we're here for! 🙂 That way you don't have to go asking your girlfriend which is the proper gentle day cream with SPF for under $20 bucks? Or the best winter (or all-season) cleanser? Look no further, Cufflinksman is back and we don't legally endorse any of the products except our own, so you know it's from the heart.
1. Daily Moisturizer
Wake up, brush the dentes, and then what? Moisturize. It's important this dry season, with the bitter cold hitting our precious skin each time we open a shop door or go out for coffee, to put on a daily "something" lotion on your face. Try something simple at your local Rite Aid, Duane Reade, etc, like this Cerave Moisturizer for under $15.
Cerave Moisturizer
2. Some Other Stuff like that, but even old-schooler:
Old-school celebrities and movie stars swear by this stuff. It's been around since your grandmother (we almost guarantee that). It's under $5 and worth every penny. Plus how is it always "cold" and thereby refreshing? Humans..
Ponds Cold Cream
3. Body Wash with Moisturizer
Yes, body wash with moisturizer. Look for it by name on any bottle, preferably with Shea Butter, Vitamin E, Aloe, and Green Tea Essentials. And go by MY rule: Scrub in the tub what you would eat for grub. Meaning, if it's not edible, don't go putting it all over your skin either. Your grandmother will thank us later for that too.
Aymara Green Tea Leaf Butterfly Cufflinks
4. Weekly Scrub
If the apricot scrub at the local drug store isn't your thing, try making your own:
Cup of coarse salt/sugar, vitamin E drops, olive oil, liquid soap, vanilla extract, water, and any other essential oil you like. Add a bow around a mason jar and pour, there you have it!
5. Nails: Hand Cream
Hands, next to the eyes/ face/ teeth, your hands are the other next things people notice immediately. Make sure your nails are well-groomed this winter with a few cuticle treatments a month. No, you don't have to go get pampered at your local Nail Salon, but can use an array of regular items around your house. If you don't have a lady friend in your close vicinity to ask for hers, go for the olive oil in your kitchen. Smooth on just a little on each fingertip and push the cuticle down with your other nail/finger. It will work just the same–it's the "bro way." But if you're out of olive oil too, plus a girlfriend, then go for Burt's Bee stuff:
Burt's Bees little greasy and it doesn't have multiple functions, but still good and inexpensive.
6. Foot Cream (yes! We'll tell you why…)
Your feet harbor so much moisture while tucked inside your boots all day, which causes bacteria to form. Especially with those (possibly multiple) layers of socks, your feet suffer severe an overload of moisture followed by extreme cold. After washing with body scrub, rub thick hand/foot cream onto your feet, followed by a dose of the talic powder. These helps your "refresh" at the end of the day and retain the "healthy" moisture they need.

(WBIR - Knoxville) When it rains, it pours and turns Prosser Road in East Knoxville into Prosser Lake.
Flooding on Prosser Road near the zoo and Chilhowee Park has been a nuisance for many neighbors and is drowning them with frustration.
After heavy rain in the area, Prosser Road is filled with standing water.
Neighbors say over the past 30 years the problem has gotten worse, going from a minor issue to a safety hazard for those who travel the road.
"It's very dangerous with people driving down Proser Road, particularly at night when it rains. I've seen cars that have been covered in water and so it has been a very dangerous place for people to drive," said State Representative Joe Armstrong.
Friday, city officials discussed Prosser Road and what can be done to improve its drainage. It's a conversation the City of Knoxville has had several times before, but now it seems a permanent solution is on the way.
"What we're looking at is raising Prosser Road approximately seven feet in order to help alleviate the roadway flooding. And also, we're looking at a pump station near Timothy Avenue to help draw down some of the water from a sinkhole over there," said Knoxville's chief civil engineer, Tom Clabo.
Construction is expected to take place in the summer.
The cost of the entire project is right at $1.7 million, which Clabo said has already been budgeted.

Now before all you RHCP fans in South Africa start losing your sh*t that the band are coming to perform here, let's just calm down and take a moment hey. They havn't confirmed anything or said they were coming to tour SA, but yesterday drummer Chad Smith tweeted the following from his verified account.
Ok so we all know that assumption is the mother of all eff ups, but if the Chili Peppers say they are coming to Africa in Feb then i'm assuming that they would include South Africa. Safe bet that no? Or was he just saying they would come in Feb just to make that guy happy?
Either way that right there is enough to give you at least half a boner.
[thanks Kyle]


text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- In the chart above, J.P. Morgan biotech analysts Geoff Meacham and Cory Kasimov make another argument for why the biotech bull market should continue to run higher. Price-to-earnings multiples for large-cap biotech are on the rise, but that's okay because so earnings growth is also accelerating. The sector's P/E expansion that began in early 2012 has gone almost parabolic in 2013. Take a look at the near-vertical slope of that blue line, with P/Es for stocks like Celgene ( CELG) , Gilead Sciences ( GILD), Amgen ( AMGN) and Biogen Idec ( BIIB) approaching 20 and poised to move even higher into the second half of the year. Is the biotech multiple expansion a concern? The J.P. Morgan team thinks not because the 2012-2015 compounded annual growth rate for biotech earnings is forecast to reach 18%. Right now, the projected 2015 P/E for large-cap biotech is 14-16x. It may be hard to believe, but revenue and earnings expectations for this year are still on the low side.

Lightweight, slimline "ultrabooks" are the latest trend in mobile computing, trying to strike a middle ground between featherweight netbooks and heavyweight notebooks. They're supposed to offer the best of both worlds, but do 14 and 15-inch ultrabooks make a mockery of the term?
Initially ultrabooks were slimline 11.6 and 13.3-inch notebooks, following in the footsteps of the Apple's MacBook Air which is an ultrabook by nature if not by name. This new wave of lightweight notebooks attempts to strike a balance between portability and usability (although usability generally comes off second best). They also pack a reasonable amount of grunt thanks to the use Intel Core i3/5/7 processors.
The term "Ultrabook" is thrown around a lot but it's actually an Intel trademark, in part designed to fight back against the tablet trend. Notebooks must meet certain criteria to carry the label. Intel specifies how thin ultrabooks need to be and how powerful, but not how small or light. Thus you find middleweights like Samsung's 14-inch Ultra 5 and now Acer's 15.6-inch Aspire Timeline Ultra M3 carrying the ultrabook tag, even though they weigh in at 1.8 and 2.3kg respectively.
This extra bulk is put to good use and these overgrown ultrabooks feature discrete graphics, hybrid hard-disk/solid-state drives and DVD burners -- the kinds of high-end features you might look for in a desktop replacement. When you consider the hefty size, weight and price tag of previous desktop replacements, these new middleweight ultrabooks actually look pretty good. Perhaps they'd get more respect if they weren't cashing in on the ultrabook name. Or perhaps the ultrabook trend is so powerful that people won't even give them a second look unless they claim to be ultrabooks.
What do you think? How big is too big when it comes to an ultrabook?

Quote:Folks, self-defense is a BY PRODUCT of your training! Why this isn't more obvious to people is baffling.
Quote:Olga,Follow this statement.An armbar executed in a tournament setting, can result in a broken arm if, a "tap out" is not given.That same armbar is the one you would use in a fight. Obviously you would not abide by the tournaments rules of engagement on the street and you would simply break the arm. Does that make it any clearer?I don't know if I can make it any more OBVIOUS than that.The choke renders unconsciousness. Can we all not see ANY self-defense application there? What about locks which break arms, shoulders, necks, legs???No self-defense application there?What about when you're taken down and mounted (sure, I know it can't happen to anyone on THIS forum, but play along please)?Now all of that time you spent practicing those mount escapes, enables you to escape unharmed --- is that not self-defense training?What about all of the experience you gain from grappling and learning how to defend from submissions? Is that not self-defense??Folks, self-defense is a BY PRODUCT of your training! Why this isn't more obvious to people is baffling.-John

Our dogs were trained in the German Tending style of herding with large flocks of sheep achieving the HGH or "Herdengebrauchshund" Title (German Herding Utility Dog). This title is considered to be the equivalent of a Schutzhund 3 in working dog titles. We trained with Ulf Kintzel, who came to the United States from Germany – where he was a professional shepherd and a high level competitor in regional and national herding competitions. From Ulf we learned so much about handling our dogs, reading and understanding our dogs behavior, how to read and understand the behavior of a large flock, the handling of the shepherd's crook, and finally how to pull it all together and end up with a successful result in the herding trial.
The HGH Trial is based on a real life shepherd's day in Germany – where flocks are large, (often a thousand sheep) and they are tended in unfenced open fields. Many of these fields are next to fields planted with crops and the tending dog acts as a living fence, keeping the sheep out of the farmer's crops. The shepherd must lead the sheep along roads as well, because the grazing fields can be miles apart. The herding dog must be able to help move the flock, keeping the sheep on the road and if needed move the flock to the side of the road to allow cars to safely pass the sheep from either direction (from the front or the back of the flock) – the dog runs along the side of the flock between car and flock until the car has safely passed. This takes great courage on the part of the dog, and a sharp eye on the part of the shepherd.
The HGH trial is a miniature version of a shepherd's day. The elements include an exit from the pen, the narrow road, crossing a bridge, a narrow graze where the shepherd must show that he or she can send the dog where needed to keep the sheep contained without disturbing the sheep while they graze. The sheep are then gathered when the shepherd commands by the dog and are moved along the road to a wide graze. Here the dog must show diligence and independence – containing the sheep in the wide graze as they are allowed to graze again peacefully. The sheep are finally gathered again and led along the road where the shepherd and dog must show that they can move the flock to the side of the road so that cars can pass the flock safely. The final step is the re-pen where dog and handler must get all 150-200 sheep back into the pen without injury to sheep or pen. Unlike AKC herding trials, the dog must also exhibit a "grip" – where the dog is allowed to control an unruly sheep with an appropriately placed bite without damaging the sheep. This must be handled by the shepherd in a controlled manner – showing that the dog is strong enough to be respected by the flock, but also reliable enough to respond to the shepherd when he or she tells the dog the job is done.
All of this takes years to learn, and the best results are achieved when the shepherd and his or her dog have achieved a true partnership. The score is based not only on each element, but also how harmonious the entire run looks from start to finish.
Berta is working the narrow graze, allowing the sheep to graze peacefully without allowing them to cross the border.
Here Becket is actively keeping the sheep on the road as Peter leads them to the narrow graze.
Daphne leads the sheep along the road and across the bridge.
Berta stands at the post of the bridge where she must stand until the last sheep has safely crossed.

The first model from the Chrysler/ Fiat marriage, the 2013 Dodge Dart will be hitting showrooms soon, but that model is only the first of many. It's been previously reported that Chrysler is going to kill off the Dodge Avenger after its current run, so that the automaker can focus its efforts on the better selling Chrysler 200 sedan, but that may not be the case.
USA Today is reporting that Chrysler is working on all-new versions of the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger, which will be based on the same Alfa Romeo platform that is the basis for the Dart. They are also reporting that the next Jeep Liberty and Compass models will also be built off the same platform in 2013.
Chrysler and Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne recently stated about the new Jeeps, "It's gonna be a trail-rated, full-blooded Jeep that has its origins in the architecture of a sports car."
Marchionne also stated that Chrysler is thinking about a new small hatchback dubbed the "Chrysler 100." If it gets the green light, it will be sold in Europe under as a Lancia.
Lastly Marchionne claims that plans to bring Alfa Romeo back to the U.S. are still in the works. The models slated to come here will be lightweight and powered by a 1.8L engine with 300 horsepower.

Scientists at the University of Manchester (where graphene was first synthesized in 2004) have published new research which indicates that graphene may enable the production of cleaner and more fuel-efficient cars. According to the researchers, heat generated by graphene can be converted into electricity. This could be applied throughout the automotive industry which is always seeking to improve performance and fuel efficiency. Tesla Motors could be an example of a company which may employs the use of graphene in its cars in the form of graphene batteries.
Heat that is generated by a car's engine is usually wasted energy. New hybrid cars could instead utilize this heat to re-charge batteries and power auxiliary functions such as the air conditioning system. Graphene is perfect for this purpose as it is a thermoelectric material. This means that graphene can convert heat to electricity. Graphene exceeds in performance compared to conventional thermoelectric materials which can face challenges such as the ability to dissipate heat and electrical conduction efficiency.

Justin Timberlake wins money
Justin Timberlake won libel damages yesterday from The News of the World which reported that he cheated on Cameron Diaz with model Lucy Clarkson. This just goes to show you that if you're going to write things about a celebrity, you should at least check some facts and make sure it's remotely true. That said, I hear Justin Timberlake dressed up as a ninja last week and punched a woman in the belly. A pregnant woman.

NFL: Considering New Drug Policy
NFL: Considering New Drug Policy
There is some potentially great news for pro football players who like to enjoy some occasional marijuana. The NFL is preparing to finalize a new drug policy which would reduce the punishment for being caught with pot.
The renegotiated policy would also reduce the punishment for other drugs as well. Not only that, players would need to be in possession of larger amounts of marijuana to be in violation of the policy.
Those around the league say the NFL's current drug policy is outdated and a change should be influenced by the legalization of pot in areas around the country. There are still some issues with the new policy that will need to be agreed upon before it is implemented. (ESPN)

Make the Bath as Hot as You Can Stand It
Psychologist Paul Rozin has argued that people get a kick from "benign masochism"—that is, controlled exposure to low-level discomfort (think spicy chili peppers and saunas). Maybe we love the endorphin rush. Or just the delightful contrast when we ultimately escape from the pain. Regardless, it pays to pamper yourself occasionally with a bit—but just a bit—of suffering.

In a memorial meeting in New Delhi on Wednesday, the head of India's space agency paid tribute to Kalpana Chawla, the Indian-born astronaut who died. She was a woman of "rare courage and fortitude who had broken away from tradition to fulfil her dream".
NASA has all but ruled out the theory that the disaster was caused by foam debris that broke off the fuel tank at lift-off.
NASA's shuttle program manager, Ron Dittemore, said the piece of foam that broke off weighed about a kilogram and was travelling at 228 metres per second, neither heavy enough nor fast enough to seriously damage the shuttle's heat-resistant tiles.
"We're focusing our attention on what we didn't see. We believe there was something else," Mr Dittemore said. "There's got to be another reason."
Milt Heflin, NASA's flight director, has suggested that a small meteorite or piece of man-made space junk may have hit Columbia while it was still in orbit, damaging the thermal tiles.
There are believed to be more than a million objects within 2000 kilometres of Earth's surface, including tools left behind by astronauts, pieces of rocket motors and debris from defunct satellites.
Two people have been indicted for stealing debris from the shuttle, federal authorities said on Wednesday, giving others who may have picked up pieces until today to turn them in free of penalty.

TOWIE star Jessica Wright looks thrilled to be joined by a group of topless
hunks in the video for new single Dominoes.
Wearing a plunging bodysuit, the reality babe lays down on the backs of her
new pals and belts out her second assault on the dance charts.
The track's lyrics play on the cast's obsession with looking good and suggest
men "drop like dominoes" when they see the girls.
26-year-old Jess is seen getting ready for a night out with the help of a
stylist team as she sings the line "It's not easy looking this good,
wish you understood, it's a difficult job. A one girl show."
When she arrives at a club a group of guys try and impress her with a
One of them is the US rapper Mann – who also features on the track.
Jess has compared the sound to that of the Pussycat Dolls.
But this morning she had to defend herself against criticism after she mimed
her way through a performance of the song on Towie's LIVE show last night.
Speaking on Twitter she said: "Any avid towie fans would have seen me sing
live various times on the show, including last nights Last Christmas. Any
negativity … do one"
And fans shouldn't expect her to perform the song live anytime soon because
Jess says it's impossible to sing and dance at the same time.
She revealed: "Let me remind ppl, I couldn't possibly sing&perform
due 2 the choreographed 4 min dance routine which u all didn't see. LOTS do
this when dancing."

He was too good to take him out of that role.
Crawford went 6-2 on the season with a 3.13 ERA. In 77.2 innings as a sophomore, he struck out 73 hitters and allowed a .260 batting average against him. He gave up just two home runs on the season.
His sophomore season was highlighted by throwing a no-hitter against Bethune-Cookman in the opening round of the Gainesville Regional.
Crawford and Whitson will combine to lead the Florida starting rotation in 2013. The third starter in the weekend rotation is yet to be determined.

By John Algeo
Reprint from American Theosophist 74 (1986): 270–3.
Lyman Frank Baum (1851-1919) is best known as theauthor of the popular children's book The Wizard of Oz, on which the1939 movie starring Judy Garland was based. Mainly through that movie, Baum'sstory has become one of the most widely known and best loved of all modernfairy tales.
Although Frank Baum is famous primarily for that onebook, he wrote a good many other children's stories, including 13 additional Ozbooks; a variety of other fairy tales, short stories, and verses; and severalseries of girls' and boys' books (published under various pseudonyms). Also,because of the popularity of The Wizard upon its publication in 1900,Baum converted it to the stage, and it became a highly successful musical playon Broadway, inspiring a number of similar works (such as Victor Herbert's Babesin Toyland).
As a young man living in New York State, Baumauthored, produced, and acted in a play, The Maid of Arran, with which hetoured from Canada to Kansas. He gave up that theatrical career, however, whenhe married Maud Gage, because her mother took a dim view of acting as alivelihood for a son-in-law. Thereafter, for brief intervals, he ran hisfamily's axle-grease company; moved to Aberdeen, South Dakota, where heoperated a store called Baum's Bazaar; edited a weekly newspaper, the SaturdayPioneer; worked as a reporter for a Chicago newspaper; became a travelingsalesman; was instrumental in founding the National Association of WindowTrimmers; and edited a magazine for the trade, The Show Window.Subsequently, he made motion pictures and pioneered the use of special effectsfor films based on his children's stories. Baum's genius, however, was as ateller of stories for children--initially for his own four sons. He was adevoted husband and a doting father.
Such facts about Baum's life are widely known. Whatis not so well known, however, is Baum's interest in theosophy. Michael PatrickHearn, one of the best of Baum's biographers, has made the most extensive, andvirtually the only, acknowledgment of that interest:
His son Frank admitted the author'sinterest in Theosophy, but also reported that the elder Baum could not acceptall its teachings. He firmly believed in reincarnation; he had faith in theimmortality of the soul and believed that he and his wife had been together inmany past states and would be together in future reincarnations, but he did notaccept the possibility of the transmigration of souls from human beings toanimals or vice versa, as in Hinduism. He was in agreement with theTheosophical belief that man on Earth was only one step on a great ladder thatpassed through many states of consciousness, through many universes, to a finalstate of Enlightenment. He did believe in Karma, that whatever good or evil onedoes in his lifetime returns to him as reward or punishment in futurereincarnations.... He believed that all the great religious teachers of historyhad found their inspiration from the same source, a common Creator. [72-73]
Although he did not join the Theosophical Society forsome years, Baum seems to have believed in the central Theosophical concepts.It is not clear which Theosophical teachings Baum "could not accept"; possiblythat reservation means only that Baum did not consider every idea that had beenadvanced by individual Theosophists to be Theosophical--a reservation that mostof us would still want to make. Baum's belief in the basic ideas of Theosophyhas thus been recognized, even though it has not been widely publicized. Whathas not hitherto been known, however, is that Baum became a member of theTheosophical Society, as did his wife, Maud, and his mother-in-law, MatildaGage.
In the early membership rolls of the Society, thereare entries recording the application for membership of Lyman F. Baum and Mrs.Maud G. Baum, of Chicago, Illinois, on September 4, 1892. They were admitted onthe same day to the Ramayana Theosophical Society upon the recommendation ofDr. W. P. Phelon and M. M. Phelon. William P. Phelon was a prominent earlymember and one of the organizers of the American Section in 1886. The Baums'permanent diplomas (or membership certificates) were issued by the parentorganization on December 5, 1892. Baum's mother-in-law, Matilda Joslyn Gage,had joined the Society seven years earlier, when she was living inFayetteville, New York. Her application and admission to the RochesterTheosophical Society are dated March 26, 1885; she was recommended by JosephineW. Cables and E. M. Sasseville.1
It is likely that Baum learned about theosophy fromhis mother-in-law, a remarkable woman who was an active figure in the woman'srights movement and other social causes throughout her life. She was coauthor,with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, of the three-volume Historyof Woman Suffrage, and was one of the prominent early members of the NationalWoman Suffrage Association (Wagner, Declaration 2, 20).
In view of her concern for human equality andrights, it is not surprising that Matilda Gage was attracted to Theosophy. Shevalued it not only because it provided a philosophical basis for equality andsocial action, but also for some of its other teachings, such as reincarnation,which she explained to one of her grandchildren living in Edgeley, NorthDakota:
There is one thing I want you to rememberfirst of all: This is that what is called "death" by people is not death. Youare more alive than ever you were after what is called death. Death is only ajourney, like going to another country. You are alive when you travel toAberdeen just as much as when you stay in Edgeley, and it is the same with whatis called death. After people have been gone for awhile, they come back andlive in another body, in another family and have another name. [Cited byWagner, "Dorothy," 6.]
Frank Baum supported his mother-in-law in her workfor woman's rights, and he learned many things from her, including Theosophicalideas. While he edited the Aberdeen Saturday Pioneer, he wrote a seriesof articles called "The Editor's Musings."2 Before he joined theSociety, in the first issue of the paper under his editorship (January 25,1890), he wrote about the insecurity many Christians felt about the challengeof other religions and about a growing aspiration for knowledge outside thechurch. He wrote sympathetically of the Buddha, Mohammed, Confucius, andChrist, and he introduced his readers to Theosophy:
Amongst the various sectsso numerous in America today who find their fundamental basis in occultism, theTheosophist[s] stand pre-eminent both in intelligence and point of numbers.
The recent erection oftheir new temple in New York City has called forth the curiosity of the many,the uneasiness of the few. Theosophy is not a religion. Its followers are simply"searchers after Truth." Not for the ignorant are the tenets they hold, neitherfor the worldly in any sense. Enrolled within their ranks are some of thegrandest intellects of the Eastern and Western worlds.
Purity in all things, evento asceticism is absolutely required to fit them to enter the avenues ofknowledge, and the only inducement they offer to neophytes is the privilege of"searching for the Truth" in their company.
As interpreted bythemselves they accept the teachings of Christ, Budda, and Mohammed,acknowledging them Masters or Mahatmas, true prophets each in his generation,and well versed in the secrets of nature. But the truth so earnestly sought isnot yet found in its entirety, or if it be, is known only to the privilegedfew.
The Theosophists, in fact,are the dissatisfied of the world, the dissenters from all creeds. They owetheir origin to the wise men of India, and are numerous, not only in the farfamed mystic East, but in England, France, Germany and Russia. They admit the existenceof a God--not necessarily a personal God. To them God is Nature and Nature God.
We have mentioned theirhigh morality: they are also quiet and unobtrusive, seeking no notoriety, yetdaily growing so numerous that even in America they may be counted bythousands. But, despite this, if Christianity is Truth, as our education hastaught us to believe, there can be no menace to it in Theosophy.
A month later in the Saturday Pioneer (February22, 1890), Baum turned to writing about fiction with occult and mysticalthemes. He dealt with Bulwer Lytton, one of H. P. Blavatsky's favorite writers,to whom she often referred; H. Rider Haggard, especially his novel She;and Mabel Collins, whose Idyll of the White Lotus and Light on thePath were already Theosophical classics.
A few months later in the same periodical (April 5,1890), Baum wrote about mediumship and elementals. Mediumship was a subject ofintense interest in the late nineteenth century (as witnessed by the fact thatOlcott and Blavatsky met at a séance). Baum's explanation of mediumisticphenomena, while perhaps partly his own interpretation, owes a great deal toBlavatsky. She attributed many of the apparent marvels of the séance room tothe activities of elemental beings attracted to the medium. Baum'sinterpretation of mediumship is certainly derived, directly or indirectly, fromHPB.
The foregoing articles show that while he was editingthe Aberdeen Saturday Pioneer Baum had a considerable interest in Theosophy,occultism, and related subjects--an interest that he was not reluctant to writeabout. However, in spite of his keen interest, he did not join the TheosophicalSociety in 1890.
It was two years after writing these pieces in the SaturdayPioneer that he actually joined, and for a considerable time thereafter hesustained his Theosophical interests. His niece, Matilda Jewell Gage, who stilllives in Aberdeen, South Dakota, visited the Baums after they moved fromChicago to San Diego, California. She remembers that her famous uncle and grandmotherboth were interested in Theosophy and Theosophical literature.3
Further evidence for Baum's involvement withTheosophy is found in his children's books, especially The Wizard of Oz.Although readers have not looked at his fairy tales for their Theosophicalcontent, it is significant that Baum became a famous writer of children's booksafter he had come into contact with Theosophy. Theosophical ideas permeate his workand provided the inspiration for it. Indeed, The Wizard can be regardedas Theosophical allegory, pervaded by Theosophical ideas from beginning to end.The story came to Baum as an inspiration, and he accepted it with a certain aweas a gift from outside, or perhaps from deep within, himself.
Frank Baum was one of the most notable yet unknown Theosophistsof the turn of the century and was our first and perhaps greatest Theosophicalwriter for children.
This information was kindly supplied by Grace F.Knoche and Kirby Van Mater, of the Theosophical Society headquartered inPasadena, California. The Baums' membership is recorded on Register 1, page561, and Matilda Gage's on the same Register, page 49.
