Saudi king sits next to Iran´s Ahmadinejad in goodwill gesture (REUTERS) By Angus McDowall RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA 08/14/12 7:05pm EDT)

(Reuters) - Saudi Arabia´s King Abdullah seated Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at his side to welcome leaders to a summit on Wednesday, an apparent conciliatory gesture before the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation suspends the membership of Iran´s ally Syria.
Foreign ministers of the 57-member body have already agreed to suspend Syria over President Bashar al-Assad´s crackdown on protests. The decision, which requires support of two thirds of members and is strongly opposed by Tehran, is expected to be implemented on Wednesday at a summit called by Abdullah in the holy city of Mecca.
Syria´s civil war has divided Muslim countries on sectarian lines, with Sunni-led Arab states and Turkey backing Syria´s rebels, while Shi´ite Iran supports Assad.
Sunni Saudi Arabia and Shi´ite Iran have tussled for influence in recent years in sectarian conflicts across the Middle East. In giving Iran´s leader such a prominent place at the summit - shown on Saudi state television - King Abdullah was making what analysts described as an important gesture.
"It was a message to the Iranian nation and, I assume, to the Saudi people, that we are Muslim and we have to work together and forget about our differences," said Abdullah al-Shammari, a Saudi political analyst.
Ahmadinejad, wearing the dark suit and shirt without tie favored by Iranian leaders, sat at the left hand of the octogenarian king in his traditional Arab robes. The two were shown talking and sometimes laughing together.
As each of the leaders, including those of major Middle Eastern and South Asian states, arrived in the entrance chamber, Abdullah rose to meet him followed by Ahmadinejad.
The emir of Qatar, which like Saudi Arabia has voiced support for Syria´s rebels, sat on Abdullah´s other side.
Analysts had billed the summit as a potential showdown between Iran and Sunni states led by Saudi Arabia over Tehran´s support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in his 17-month suppression of a popular uprising.
"I think Abdullah is trying to tell Ahmadinejad that whatever Saudi Arabia wants with regard to Syria is not going to be directed against Iran," said Saudi political scientist Khalid al-Dakhil.
Riyadh has called for Syrians to be "enabled to protect themselves" if the international community cannot protect them, and has excoriated Assad´s use of force against civilians.
Iran has echoed the narrative of Assad´s government that the country is being torn apart by "terrorist gangs" supported by Sunni states and the West.
Riyadh has also accused Tehran of fomenting discord in the Gulf by backing a popular uprising among majority Shi´ites in Bahrain against the Sunni monarchy there and stirring unrest among Saudi Arabia´s own Shi´ite minority.
Tehran denies responsibility for unrest and accuses the Sunni states of crushing Shi´ite dissent.
Analysts said the move to place Ahmadinejad next to Abdullah was intended to soothe sectarian ill will across the wider Middle East.
"King Abdullah was showing Shi´ites: we haven´t tried to skip over you and ignore you. And he was showing to Sunnis here that here is Ahmadinejad and he is a Muslim too. He is not different to us," said Shammari.
That message was reinforced in Abdullah´s opening speech to the conference, in which he proposed setting up a center for dialogue between different Muslim sects. (Reporting By Angus McDowall; Editing By Peter Graff) (© Thomson Reuters 2012. 08/14/12)

Drake didn't forget about Rihanna's 29th birthday.
Though the former couple split up a few months ago—and he's since been linked to Jennifer Lopez—the rapper shouted out to his old flame during his concert in Dublin on Monday night.
A fan caught the video in which Drake begins, "It's somebody's birthday today—somebody I have a lot of love for and a lot of respect for," he told the crowd as they started applauding and screaming with excitement. "So, instead of singing 'Happy birthday,' though, we just going to do this in Dublin. Instead of singing 'Happy Birthday,' we're going to set it off just like this..."
He trailed off as "Work," his collaboration with Rih, began playing.
of note from tonight, drake did all his songs with rihanna and shouted her birthday out@TMZ see me fam pic.twitter.com/1o5bXwbFIa— ?? (@aymangolassi) February 21, 2017
Of course, the shout out should come as no surprise...We're used to Drake going above and beyond for RihRih (and many of his former loves).
Not only did he buy her a billboard before she was honored with MTV's Video Vanguard Award at the VMAs last year, but he also ended up taking the stage at the show to actually present her with the award. In his speech, he continued his grand gestures by confessing his longtime love for her.
"She's someone I've been in love with since I was 22-years-old," he told the crowd at the time. "She's one of my best friends in the world. All my adult life, I've looked up to her, even though she's younger than me. She's a living, breathing legend in our industry."
Looks like some feelings just don't disappear...Happy birthday again to the bad gal!

It is worn so a Sikh can stand out from others, can be approachable and can be identifiable in society.
He points toward another figure, who is identifiable as the king of Xultún.
"Having a logo on it that makes it identifiable and recognizable might make it more difficult to wear," she says.
Those who are identifiable are given priority burials, only because there are survivors who demand it.
He frets about how identifiable he is in the grainy footage.
And thus comes a long array of signs which are not identifiable always.
Recognition indicates only that an object has sufficiently impressed a mind to keep it known and identifiable.
I would say that that wound was about a centimeter in diameter, much larger than the identifiable fragment of metal in the thigh.
Records have been maintained on the number of identifiable humpbacks seen in these waters including Glacier Bay.
Dr. Shaw is present and he can, perhaps, describe with identifiable precision where the wounds are.
1640s, "regard as the same," from French identifier, from identité (see identity). Sense of "recognize" first recorded 1769. Meaning "make one (with), associate (oneself)" is from 1780. Sense of "serve as means of identification" is attested by 1886. Related: Identified; identifying.

South Kensington – An extraordinary collection of more than 800 lots from the Madrid home and the Trujillo country house of legendary interior decorator Duarte Pinto Coelho will be offered for sale at Christie's South Kensington on 20-21 July 2011. The late Mr. Pinto Coelho was born in Portugal, moving to Paris as a young man, where he became friends with the likes of Coco Chanel, Elsa Schiaparelli and Salvador Dalí, among others. When he moved to Spain in the 1950s, he chose Madrid as his new home and there he started an antiques business that soon led to him becoming the first and most renowned decorator in the country. A refined, eclectic connoisseur, collecting was his passion and both his residences were adorned with a wealth of furniture, works of art, porcelain, pictures, silver, carpets and textiles. The collection as a whole is estimated to realise in the region of £1.5 million.
Pilar Gonzalez de Gregorio, Duquesa de Fernandina, Chairman of Christie's Spain: "Following the great successes achieved by the auctions of the collection of Manolo March and that of a Spanish Marqués (both offered in 2009 at our London salerooms), we are honoured to have been entrusted with the consignment of the sophisticated collection of Duarte Pinto Coelho. Born in Portugal, and trained in Paris, Mr. Pinto Coelho settled in Spain during the post-war years, but spent his life travelling all over the globe to look after his spectacular projects and to meet with his numerous friends. Considered to be one of the most influential Spanish decorators of the second half of the 20th century, Duarte's unmistakable style and taste has been appreciated by some of the most important families both in Spain and abroad. His collections fully reflect his sprit and I am convinced that they will appeal to a very wide audience of international buyers."
Duarte Pinto Coelho loved to declare that "a house should, at the end, look as if the designer had never set foot in it": a demonstration of his wit, philosophy and style. Regarded as one of the best interior decorators in Spain, his intelligence, wonderful manners and taste enabled him to become a central figure in Spanish high society. The notorious parties he held at his magnificently decorated apartment in the enormous Palacio Pinohermosa in Madrid illustrated above are still memorable. From Truman Capote to Maria Callas, or Amália Rodrigues to Henry Kissinger, any international celebrity who happened to visit the Spanish capital would have been his guest and friend.
The collection of Duarte Pinto Coelho is incredibly varied and includes an amazing range of works of art and objects, from antique Spanish and Italian textiles to blue and white Chinese porcelain and old master paintings to post war Spanish art as well as a number of early European sculptures and English and European furniture.
The auction will also offer furniture and objects from the country house in Trujillo illustrated below, a town only two hours from Madrid. Once a nuns' convent, Mr. Pinto Coelho bought the house and redecorated it to make it his buen retiro. There he enjoyed hosting his friends and organizing more informal receptions. Among the highlights of the Trujillo collection stands a pair of Spanish 17th Century style ormolu, tortoiseshell and ebonised table cabinets, estimated at £20,000-30,000. The auction will appeal to International private buyers, collectors and decorators alike.

Admired astronaut Scorch Supernova (Brendan Fraser) is a national hero to a blue alien population on Baab. A master of daring rescues, Scorch pulls off astonishing feats with the quiet aid of his nerdy, by-the-rules brother, Gary (Rob Corddry), head of mission control at BASA. When BASA's no-nonsense chief Lena (Jessica Alba) informs the brothers of an SOS from a notoriously dangerous planet, Scorch rejects Gary's warnings and bounds off for yet another exciting mission. But when Scorch finds himself caught in a fiendish trap set by the evil Shanker (James Gandolfini), it's up to scrawny, risk-adverse Gary to do the real rescuing. As the interplanetary stakes rise to new heights, Gary is left to save his brother, his planet, his beloved wife Kira (Sarah Jessica Parker) and their adventure hungry son Kip!

present town of Bilaspur is a new one. The old town Bilaspur with its beauty, dignity and
tradition and quite a few ancient temples including those of Shri Ranguath Ji and Shri
Gopal Ji and hallowed with Vyas Guha ( cave), the hermitage of the sage Ved Vyas Deva had
to be sub- merged by the waters of the Satluj river because of the completion of the
Bhakra Dam. The ancient temples had to go under
the waters of the present lake of Gobindsagar, a large and attractive lake where water is
collected and then canalized for human needs. Along with the human and animal population
the deities were rehabilitated in a temple in the new Bilaspur town near the site of the
Dam. This was a, tragedy that could not be avoided.
Obviously the old Bilaspur town had its many charms and had
attracted a number of European travelers including George Forster, William Moorcroft,
Baron Charles Hugel, G. T. Vigne, Edward Thornton and M. C. Forbes, Bilaspur has
been known from ancient times for the temple of Shri Naina Devi located on the top of a

"BOSS and Fender USA have collaborated to create the BOSS FRV-1 pedal, a stunning recreation of the legendary '63 Fender Reverb via COSM technology.
The FRV-1 puts that timeless tube-driven reverb sound under your foot in a tough, reliable compact reverb pedal" That's the marketing hype! I'll
be checking out how this pedal fares with a pedal steel guitar. You can see my home recording setup on the Zoom R24 page on this site. One unique thing
about this pedal is the fact that it is mono only, no stereo ins or outs. It has the usual tough Boss construction and I'll be powering it with the
Danelectro DA-1 "zero-hum" AC adapter. The FRV-1 features only 3 controls, Dwell, Tone and Mix and comes with a user manual which I've scanned
in and converted to a pdf for you. Current draw is only 37 mA compared to the Boss RV-5's 50 mA. It's also street priced about $31 lower than the RV-5. My frame of reference for
reverb is based on my extensive use of Fender tube reverbs, Verbzilla, RV-5, RV-7 and the Lexicon MPX-1 rack. If you like just a touch of reverb to go with some delay almost any
reverb box will do. I like a lot of reverb and seldom use delay and have no interest in surf reverb sounds so those preferences may alter my opinions of this device!
This pedal also only offers a Spring reverb setting where many others offer Hall, Plate and Spring settings.
Here's the user manual, sound samples and a song recorded with the FRV-1.

Tony Gonzalez is a living legend amongst men, and Falcons fans are lucky to enough to catch the end of his historic career. Gonzalez has done so much for the Falcons during his five year stay in our city, and even though his last season has been disappointing (not because of him of course), Gonzalez has still been as consistent as he's ever been.
He has 71 receptions for 740 yards and seven touchdowns. Another great season from the greatest tight end of all time. Yesterday, he proved it again by entering a club that before Gonzalez, only had five members: the 15,000 yard reception club. Only Jerry Rice, Terrell Owens, Randy Moss and Isaac Bruce have been able to accomplish this, and Gonzalez is the first and only tight end mentioned in this list.
"That was special," Gonzalez said. "Every time I get a catch now, it seems like they are saying it's another milestone. I guess that's what happens when you get old and play so long."
The Georgia Dome crowd was alerted of Gonzalez's accomplishment after he broke the barrier by nabbing his fifth reception of the game. Falcons fans, with respect and love, gave the great number 88 a standing ovation.
As a Falcon, Gonzalez has been just as good as he was as a Chief. The consistency in his mid to now late 30s has been simply outstanding and nearly unheard of in the NFL.
Here are his numbers as a Falcon: 4,068 yards, 34 touchdowns and 397 receptions. In the lexicon of Falcons tight ends, he trails only Alge Crumpler in touchdowns by one, and yards by 144. He has already obliterated Crumpler's reception record 397 to 316, and he's played on the team for two less years than Crumpler.
In a season lost to injuries, missed expectations and frustration, it was quite a beautiful thing to watch the Falcons and their fans enjoy a small moment of happiness. We sometimes get lost in the negative side of the game (especially when our team has a 4-10 record and were expected to compete for a Super Bowl) way too often, and aren't thankful for the good things. This is exhibit A. It's hard to even think of Tony Gonzalez sometimes when this team has been surrounded by so much inconsistency and blown assignments because he does everything so well.
He is the antithesis of the Falcons' struggles this year. He rarely drops passes and consistently puts up great numbers, and those of us in the media don't seem to acknowledge the good that Gonzalez does nearly enough because he does so without flare. He catches the ball, fights for every yard and does so very quietly. Gonzalez has an almost Tim Duncan quality with the exception of the goal post slam dunk he did so many times after scoring a touchdown. His production and professionalism is so expected, that it's hard to fathom that his time with the Falcons and the NFL is coming to an end.
For the last five years, we've watched the elite of the elite further cement his legacy in a Falcons uniform, and this year has been no exception.
Tony Gonzalez has been the difference maker in so many games and while he won't end his career holding the coveted Lombardi trophy, we've watched him do so many amazing things. Sunday was just another example of how grateful we should all be that we got to see the last days of a man who can truly say he was the best at what he did.
His final game is on December 29th against Carolina at the Georgia Dome. Here's hoping that the city of Atlanta is there to show the admiration and respect that Gonzalez so rightfully deserves.
Remember to like us on facebook, add us on google plus and follow us on twitter to get updates on all things Falcons!

US warns N Korea over plutonium
The White House has warned North Korea against moving to manufacture weapons-grade plutonium by reprocessing nuclear fuel rods.
Such a step would be a "provocative action... intended to intimidate and blackmail the international community", said spokesman Ari Fleischer.
The plant, about 80 kilometres (50 miles) north of Pyongyang, houses stockpiles of nuclear fuel rods.
Tension between the two states escalated late last year after the United States accused North Korea of abandoning a 1994 pact to forsake its nuclear ambitions.
North Korea's nuclear programme has come under intense international scrutiny since it expelled UN weapons inspectors in December.
Experts say that if North Korea really has begun moving the 8,000 fuel rods stored at Yongbyon, it could either be attempting to hide them or moving them to a reprocessing plant to produce bomb-grade plutonium.
Other commentators have suggested that North Korea is well aware the plant is under surveillance and it is trying to improve its bargaining position with the leverage afforded by the nuclear threat.
North Korea pulled out of the global Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty on 10 January.
It insists it is the target of US "aggression" and that by halting oil shipments last year, the US has forced it to restart nuclear power stations.
Also on Friday, Mohamed ElBaradei, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said the North Korean nuclear issue should be referred to the UN Security Council.
He said the 35 agency members had tentatively agreed to meet on 12 February to begin such proceedings.
The board could then declare North Korea in "non-compliance" of international obligations on nuclear weapons.
This would be a sensitive issue as it could then pave the way for the Security Council to impose sanctions on an already isolated and poverty-stricken country.
But, Mr ElBaradei said, "North Korea is in non-compliance, so we need to get the board to certify that conclusion".

Things have changed for Wall Street and for Goldman in a way that may render its old bag of tricks less helpful.
old bag of bones making curries for men who do not ask "Who cooked this?"
We'll make a sieve of holes of you, you old bag of treachery!
And Nick began to rejoice that the old bag would never be found.
I then visited the garret, where my mother said I would find the old bag.
I think all the more of you, my son, and you shall have your old bag by five o'clock if I bust for it.
And don't you knock under to that old bag of bones too much.
Put him outside, and let the old bag of bones go to the foreign devils.
Some of these bullets have punctured the old bag aloft, as sure as you live.
Don't pass all the weary Winter with Curmudgeon, who will marry you to an old bag of gold.
c.1200, bagge, from Old Norse baggi or a similar Scandinavian source; not found in other Germanic languages, perhaps ultimately of Celtic origin. Disparaging slang for "woman" dates from 1924 (though various specialized senses of this are much older). Meaning "person's area of interest or expertise" is 1964, from Black English slang, from jazz sense of "category," probably via notion of putting something in a bag.
To be left holding the bag (and presumably nothing else), "cheated, swindled" is attested by 1793. Many figurative senses are from the notion of the game bag (late 15c.) into which the product of the hunt was placed; e.g. the verb meaning "to kill game" (1814) and its colloquial extension to "catch, seize, steal" (1818). To let the cat out of the bag "reveal the secret" is from 1760.
bag (bāg)
An anatomical sac or pouch, such as the udder of a cow.
A container of flexible material, such as paper, plastic, or leather, that is used for carrying or storing items.
noun phrase
An old woman, esp a repulsive, gossipy old shrew
[first form 1920s+, second 1940s+; both bag and bat earlier meant ''prostitute'']
Related Terms
brown-bag, dime bag, ditty bag, doggy bag, douche bag, fag bag, fleabag, grab-bag, hair bag, half in the bag, have a bag on, in the bag, jiffy bag, let the cat out of the bag, nickel bag, old bag, rum bag, sandbag, sleazebag, slimebag, stash bag, tie a bag on, windbag

text: NorwayThe archipelago of Svalbard, only 600 miles from the North Pole, is without doubt one of the most beautiful places on this earth. Steeped in a fascinating history, these lands are packed with wildlife from polar bears, to walruses, seals, arctic fox, eider ducks, reindeer & ptarmigan.To explore by snowmobile and dog sled is an unimaginable privilege. Journey to a working coal mining city; visit an abandoned Russian mining town; snowmobile over the mountains to the disused Isfjord Radio communications base and stay overnight in great comfort. Or camp under the stars and be awe-struck by the northern lights and a million stars. Whatever you decide, Svalbard is the stuff of dreams….and perhaps the most memorable travel experience you will ever have.

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/Pre-Presidential Accomplishments of Barack Obama
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit Pre-Presidential Accomplishments of Barack Obama
Guildensternenstein 00:08, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
|There is some good base material in the article, but it is overwhelmed by excessive attackiness. Basically, it comes across as biased/ranty and not funny. Your best bet would be to change the perspective to the "friend of the subject matter accidentally attacks the subject matter." At times, you (sorta) approach this, like in the "PhD. in Empty Rhetoric" section. But, you often lapse back into hyperbolic ranting.
As a rule, you should try to start out with a deadpan entry, then go more outlandish from their. As a rule, innuendo doesn't work after vulgarity and underhanded attacks don't work after ranting attacking (or using the verbal sledgehammer). In other words, tame sections can't follow wilde sections.
The strike out thing isn't working. You really over-use it in the first paragraph. Also, the strike out doesn't "tone it down" any. It might be funny if you use it alot less. Especially try to avoid overuse early in the article. Finally, replacing single words might work better than whole sentences.
Try to avoid internal quotes. In fact, I personally advocate avoiding quotes altogether under most instances. Internal quotes often mess up the flow of the article, even if they are funny. Also, header quotes tend to start your article off "too strongly" i.e. to outlandish, vulgary, attacky, or whatever. Quote sections tend to accumulate stupid items and filibustering.
On a related note, try to avoid lists when you can. Lists tend to accumulate stupid items, or just get too long. Also, lists don't flow as well as text that is in paragraphs. As a rule, if you can change a list into text, without losing humor, do it.
Also, I am detecting a hint of "name dropping" in the article. It is not overwhelming now, but that tendency can ruin an article. Try to avoid bringing in celebrities when they are unneeded, and try to keep the total number of celebrities mentioned as low as possible.
As a final note, whenever you write anything, try to aim at maximizing the humor and quality of the whole article, not just the current section. Don't shoehorn in jokes when it will damage "article flow" or ruin the tone.
|Prose and Formatting:
|I don't see any major errors, and the spelling and grammar are fine. But, your article has too many lists. Also, I'm getting the feeling that your article is short for some reason. Probably because the lists make it look like it's filibustering on length (i.e. its trying to make itself look longer than it really is.)
Also, you don't have any sub-section headers, also called level 3 headers. This article might not need them, but if it gets longer, you will probably need to use them. If you use only section headers, and not sub-section headers, your article will be overwhelmed by headers.
|Overall, I think the images are a bit "bombastic". Or, they are too "attacky". I would keep the one (the one of Barack Obama). The 2nd and 3rd one go along with the text as it stands, but you'll probably need to change the text. The fourth one (the tumble weed) is rather cliche, and I would suggest getting rid of it.
|You have some funny sections, but it is overwhelmed by the excessive outlandishness. Basically, what I said in the concept section. The score is the average of the section scores.
Score by Section:
Intro: 3.0 Here, you really get off on the wrong foot. Much of your first paragraph has humor potential. But, your first sentence sets the tone as an attacky "hit piece". I would focus and reworking, and probably redoing the intro first.
Mastering Houdini Economics: 3.5 Here, the article gets better at the second paragraph. But, "Houdini Economics" is very close to "Voodoo Economics": what Bush the Elder called Reagan's supply side economics in the 1980 Republican primary. Now, a comparison between Reagan's uncontrolled deficit spending and Obama's deficit spending might be funny. However, you don't make the comparison, and I don't think you could with the current tone/perspective.
PhD. in Empty Rhetoric: 5 The first part of this section, and the last part of the previous section is probably the best part of your article. You moved from an attacky tone to a more sarcastic, satirical tone. However, this section goes downhill at the list. And in the last paragraph, you lapse back into the overuse of the the strike out function.
Black African-American Belt in Smiling: 4 This is better than average on tone (at least in parts). However, it does have the feeling of filibustering. I.e. your typing just to fill up the page. I'd probably consider removing this section.
Becoming Supreme Overlord of the Mainstream Media: 3.5 The underlying idea has some potential, but the execution is bad. For one, that quote is too long and rambling. Also, you don't have much material beside the quote. I would suggest you use a more toned down title, like "Darling of the Mainstream Media" or, maybe a condescending one, like "Pet Negro of the Mainstream Media". I would suggest you mention how Obama got that position.
Rest of article: 3 the tumble weed thing is cliche, and section header "Legitimate, Tangible Political Accomplishments" wouldn't fit in this article if you changed the tone. I'd suggest trying to integrate the items in the trivia section into the main article. Trivia sections are lists, and suffer from the risk of rambling. However, you might want to keep a trivia section for a list of one-liners.
|Improvability Score:
|Your main task will be the try to change the tone of the article while maintaining the jokes. Basically, rewriting what you have. Unless you have ideas floating arround in your head, I'd suggest working on what is there and pruning a bit, before adding new material.
This is going to require going over the article, and probably changing every sentence. Fixing it probably won't require alot of comic skill, but it will require alot or re-writing. The "improbability" score measures how close you are to having a good article. The relatively low score reflects that (relatively) large amount of work this article will need.
|Final Score:
|try to work on the tone

The Latke is a fried potato food that is Yiddish in origin and the ancestor to potato pancakes and tater-tots. Latkes are traditionally served with sour cream or applesauce though other variations are becoming more common. In Sweden they are called rerecord (hairy donuts) and are served with bacon or lingonberry jam. In Ireland they are prepared with additional starch and are called Boxty.
This is one of those recipes that just dare you to be creative; what about sweet potato latkes or adding herbs and extras to the batter. What about stuffing them with meat and vegetable mixtures? In South and Central America they form the same batter around a seasoned meat mixture. Whatever variation you create is bound to be good.
1 Small Onion
3 Potatoes – peeled (a boiling variety works best)
3 Tbs. Flour
2 Eggs
¼ tsp. of Salt
Pepper (to taste)
½ to 1 Cup of Olive Oil for Frying (or Vegetable oil)
Grate the onion and the potatoes (coarsely) into a bowl.
Beat the eggs well and add to the mixture.
Add the flour, salt and pepper and set aside.
Heat the oil in a deep-sided skillet until very hot – but not burning ( the oil will shimmer).
Take about one heaping tablespoon of the mixture and drop it carefully into the oil.
As the latkes begin to fry, take the back of the spoon and flatten them slightly into "silver dollar" shapes.
Turn them once or twice, so that each side fries until it is a golden brown in color.
Remove from the oil and drain onto to an absorbent paper towel.
Serve hot, with dollops of applesauce or sour cream – or a bit of both.
Makes about 12 latkes – increase recipe in proportion for larger crowds.

RENO, Nev. - The University of Nevada women's tennis team will continue its fall season when it heads down to Las Vegas for the ITA Regional Championships.
The Pack will be back in action for the first time since competing at the Cal-Nike Invitational two weekends ago, where Juliette Legendre earned a semifinal singles berth in her White Singles Consolation draw. Nevada racked up a total of 11 victories during the tournament, and was led by two Pack players that notched two singles victories each in Legendre and Sheila Smiley.
"The Cal-Nike Invitational was a great way to get us back into the swing of things," head coach Guillaume Tonelli said. "The girls are dying to get back onto the court, and they're ready to go."
Action for the ITA Regional Championships will begin on Wednesday morning from Las Vegas with doubles action.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Hello, Thank you for using this service, I will be helping you with your problem today
okay after watching listening to your video it sounds like its drawing power to try and start the compressor, since you said this isn't cooling thats most likely whats going on. now if you turn this to just air (no ac) does the fan do that still ? that will tell us whats going on.
I called my wife and had her try it out and it does not shift hi/lo when on fan only. Just AC.
I think I can handle that. I'll get the cap & give it a try. I'll let you know what happens.
That did it. 10 min. repair and it works great! Money well spent.
Thanks again!

Exams ended Saturday, so the University of North Carolina basketball team faces a few weeks of nothing but basketball and holidays. That fact, along with a trip to California and a 76-58 victory against Santa Clara on Saturday, was enough to put the 17th-ranked Tar Heels in the holiday spirit this week, particularly the freshmen.

[Verse 1]
First things first: I, Poppa, freaks all the honeys
Those the ones I like 'cause they don't get nathan
But penetration
Unless it smells like sanitation
Gar-bage, I turn like doorknobs
Heart throb never, Black and ugly as ever
However, I stay Coogi down to the socks
Rings and watch filled with rocks
And my jam knock in your Mitsubishi
Girls pee-pee when they see me
Navajos creep me in they teepee
As I lay down laws like Island Carpet
Stop it - if you think they gonna make a profit
Don't see my ones, gon' see my guns—get it?
Now tell your friends Poppa hit it, then split it
In two as I flow with the Junior M.A.F.I.A
I don't know what the hell is stopping ya
I'm clocking ya, Versace shades watching ya
Once ya grin, I'm in—game begins
First I talk about how I dress in this
Diamond necklaces, stretch Lexuses
The sex is just immaculate from the back, I get
Deeper and deeper, help you reach the
Climax that your man can't make
Call him, tell him you'll be home real late
And sing the break
[The Break: Faith Evans & The Notorious B.I.G.]
Baby, here I am
(I got that good love girl, you didn't know?)
All, I need is one more chance! One more chance
I can help you find, yourself
(I got that good love girl, you didn't know?)
Cause you, don't need nobody else!
One more chance
[Verse 2]
She's sick of that song on how it's so long
Thought he worked his until I handled my biz
There I is, Major Payne like Damon Wayans
Low Down Dirty, even, like his brother Keenan
Schemin', don't leave your girl around me!
True player for real, ask Puff Daddy
You ringing bells with bags from Chanel
Baby Benz, traded in your Hyundai Excel
Fully equipped, CD changer with the cell
She beeped me meet me at twelve
Where you at? Flipping jobs, paying car notes?
While I'm swimming in your women like the breast stroke
Right stroke, left stroke was the best stroke
Death stroke - tongue all down her throat
Nothing left to do but send her home to you
I'm through can you sing the song for me boo
[Verse 3]
So what's it gonna be? Him or me?
We can cruise the world with pearls, gator boots for girls
The envy of all women, crushed linen
Cartier wrist-wear with diamonds in em
The finest women I love with a passion
Ya man's a wimp, I give that ass a good thrashin'
High fashion - flying into all states
Sexing me while your man masturbates
Isn't this great? Your flight leaves at eight
Her flight lands at nine, my game just rewinds
Lyrically I'm supposed to represent
I'm not only a client, I'm the player President
"One More Chance" refers to girls begging the Notorious B.I.G. to sleep with them one more time after he stops calling. This is one of the Most Sexual Rap Songs of All Time.
It features his one-time wife Faith Evans and uncredited vocals from Mary J. Blige.
It was the highest debuting single of all time tying Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson when it entered the Hot 100 at #5 at the time.

This site is for US law. You need a lawyer in Germany.
I am a former federal and State prosecutor and have been doing criminal defense work for over 16 years. I was named to the Super Lawyers list as one of the top attorneys in New York for 2012 and 2013. No more than 5 percent of the lawyers in the state are selected by Super Lawyers. Martindale-Hubbell has given me its highest rating - AV Preeminent - in the areas of Criminal Law, Personal Injury, and Litigation. According to Martindale-Hubbell"AV Preeminent is a significant rating accomplishment - a testament to the fact that a lawyer's peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence." Fewer than 8% of attorneys achieve an AV Preeminent rating. I also have the highest ranking – "superb" – on Avvo. Feel free to check out my web site and contact me.

Hey all,
My name is Jay. I've been a freelancer in the screenprint industry for a while, but I'm brand new to Design By Humans. My first DBH entry ever was for the The Dark Knight Rises contest. I've had a couple of "regular" designs accepted for voting since then, & I plan on submitting more in the near future.
I think this company has a great idea w/this site & approach. They obviously appreciate the the artistic side of this industry, and I'm not saying that to sound brown-nosey. I'm saying that because it's true! Most every preprint tee company that I've done work for wants to rip the other one off and/or jump on the bandwagon of what they think is cool, so it's really refreshing to find a company like this. (At least it will be if I ever get some designs to the printing stage). :)
I also think it's very cool to be able to come here & meet/"talk" to other artist all over the world, & I'm really looking forward to that part as well!
In fact, I'm posting this in an effort to try to get to know some of you folks. Of course, you're also free to check out some of my stuff too!
So, who are you guys? Where are you from? Do you have an interest in comics like I do? Maybe a creator owned comic that you're also trying to get published like I am? Do you have any work out there that I may have seen somewhere? talk to me, people!

I'm brand new to selling stock music, and I hit the ground running a few weeks ago. I had my first sale last week. Currently, I've had 2 sales on my Exclusive Profile, and 3 on my Non-Exclusive Profile. Feels good to know that someone out there is hearing my music and using it!
My question is about extended licenses. How common is it for you guys to sell the extended versions? (Estimated percentage of your sales?) Obviously, I haven't had many sales yet, but so far only Regulars.
Anyway, this was mostly an excuse to say "Hey" and that this is a great community that I'm very glad I stumbled upon.
Hey Hello It's funny because my first sell was an extended licence for my first upload Funky Bootsy ! it was at the beginning of january… i didn't expect that and it motivated me but since.. just normal licence selled..
I guess it's not so often !
Have fun
Hey guys! I've been here since last September and I've only had 2 extended licenses out of 174 sales. So it's a pretty low percentage , at least from my case so far
For me extended licenses happen very few and far between. They are kind of like an unexpected bonus for me. Hopefully that changes and we all get loads of them.
Okay, that's what I figured, thanks! Pretty crazy you got one on your first sale, StudioLeBus. Must mean your doing something right!
I also had for my first sale as an extended license, from my first upload. I'm a bit paranoid and I imagine someone it's "encouraging" the new comers to have a longer course and to sustain the freshness of Audiojungle. I haven't uploaded almost anything for a month and my sales are nil. So much for the quality of my material.
bodorobodo, it really seems like we are all playing the freshness game. It seems like for every couple you upload, you lose a few out of the bottom that just sit. I guess the goal is to find the balance of new content and not sacrificing quality so even with the ones that just sit you have ones that are selling well.
Hey NRH,
Extended License sales are few and far between for me. When they come around I just treat it like a little bonus cheque. I dont really think about them to be honest. My best seller with over 700 sales doesn't get many extended license sales but one time someone bought a music pack from me with an extended license and I got over $100 for a single sale and nearly fell off my chair. If you want so try get a little boost now and again music packs are a good way to do this. I sell far more music packs than I do extended licenses.
Good Luck,
It's not uncommon for me. I just sold one today. I'd say the total number of extended licenses I've sold is anywhere from 10-15 out of 128.
Out of 120 sales to date I've only had one extended license, so not many for me. I think the price of the items could have some bearing on the percentage (lower price equals more extended licenses).

For the second year in a row, the Maneuver Warfighter Conference will be held on Fort Benning, and is set for Sept. 8-12.
It will largely take place at McGinnis-Wickam Hall. The conference begins Sept. 8 with an informal open house and icebreaker session before getting underway officially 8 a.m. Sept. 9 at Marshall Auditorium.
The annual conference provides a forum for contributing to the combat effectiveness of the Army by addressing current and future challenges to the maneuver warfighter.
Presentations will be delivered throughout the week, focusing on issues affecting the Army, particularly the Infantry, Armor and Cavalry.
Keynote speakers from across the Army and international partners will address the conference's theme, "Honing the Maneuver Force for the Next Fight."
Speakers and topics include:
Retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal, former commander of the International Assistance Security Force Afghanistan, will discuss building learning organizations in the maneuver force at 1:30 p.m. Sept. 10.
Gen. David Perkins, commanding general of U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, will discuss TRADOC priorities and supporting the operational force at 8:40 a.m. Sept. 11.
Gen. Mark Milley, commanding general of U.S. Army Forces Command, will discuss institutional support to the force of the future at 1:30 p.m. Sept. 11.
Lt. Gen. Joseph Votel, commander of Joint Special Operations Command, will discuss special operation forces and conventional force integration and training at 10:40 a.m. Sept. 11.
Gary Jones, chief of public affairs for the Maneuver Center of Excellence and Fort Benning, said the conference plays a key role for the maneuver force.
"This annual conference is crucial to the development of agile and adaptive leaders, Soldiers and civilians who are committed to the Army Profession," Jones said.
In addition to the guest speakers, the conference will feature a look back at past conflicts.
"Each day, attendees will get a historical perspective to set the tone because the particular challenges faced by the Army in World War II, Korea and Vietnam offer unique lessons for leaders to consider as they work to understand future maneuver," Jones said. "That understanding will shape Army doctrine, concepts, designs and materiel solutions.
"In short, we need to understand where we've been, what worked and what didn't as we review, revise and apply doctrine to consolidate the lessons of our recent wars. Institutionalizing those lessons is crucial to our maneuver force because it's how we ensure our Soldiers and leaders are trained on the fundamentals. With the fundamentals mastered, we can then develop capabilities in our combat formations to seize, retain and exploit the initiative on whatever battlefield we face as an Army. This conference brings together hundreds of years of expert experience to get after these challenges."
To enable maximum participation, virtual attendees may attend portions of the conference online using Defense Connect Online. All virtual attendees need a DCO account to view conference briefings in real time. Guest accounts are available at https://www.dco.dod.mil/ for those without a DCO account.

Another VictimTo the Editor:
Reading Greg Yocum's "Smuggler's Blues" (Tucson Weekly, June 15) article and seeing his face on the cover made me sick to my stomach.
Yocum conveniently forgot to mention that his lawyer, my step-father, Joseph Soble, committed suicide in 1980 after Yocum set him up with the Feds in order to get himself off the hook. That this man has the nerve to sell his side of the story and present himself as a martyr and a "pawn" only confirms the belief that I have had since my father's death; that he is the lowest form of life there is. If it financially benefits him, Yocum will sell out and snitch on anyone without a thought of how his actions affect others. Now it seems he is writing a book to profit from his "soldier" crusader story to pay off his long, overdue debt to the U.S. government and tell his "woe is me" tale to the public.
Don't fall for it folks.
Yocum brought all of his troubles on himself. That he is suddenly so concerned with how the government spends the American taxpayer's money just shows how transparent this man is.
My family and I went through years of pain and anguish because of Joe Soble's suicide. Seeing Mr. Yocum's face on the cover of the Tucson Weekly brought back all of that pain and anger. I will never forget how Greg Courtland Yocum literally tore apart my family through his cowardly actions.

Real MenTo the Editor,
If I read Zachary Woodruff's "Eastwood's Bridgework" (Tucson Weekly, June 8) correctly, it seems as if you figure that because this under-appreciated farm wife subjugates herself to her husband, and "has her cake and eats it too," therefore, it couldn't be at all possible that some "rugged, worldly dude" could be interested in her, right?
Hmm, it must be that she's got to be a skinny adolescent with implants--otherwise, she'll be stuck in some farming backwater with a brainless slug for a husband and a house full of kids who don't respect her. Sorry, Zak, while a little bimbette might be what it take to fire your childish fantasies, I think men like Clint Eastwood and Robert Kincaid (and Robert James Waller, for that matter, in spite of his almost sickeningly sweet prose), have a little more class. At least I hope so. Gives this size 18 wife something to fantasize about when the soap operas get old.
--Melissa A. Blain
Drumming Tom-TomTo the Editor,
After reading Tom Danehy's shtick for what seems like eons, I'm ready for a doctor--Kevorkian! Goin' through such pain and suffering compels me to get on Danehy's case. Lord knows, someone has to.
What's the deal with this Captain Sports trip of yours, Danehy? I mean, who put salt in your quiche? You make Lute Olson look giddy. Who peed in your Evian, Tom?
Every week, it's "this sucks...that sucks...everything sucks, everybody sucks...everybody but me." Throw in a few "shits," a "merde" or two, and toss in a big "bite me" at the end. Hey, take the rest of the summer off, Danehy, I've written your next column--your next 10 columns.
To such wit and wisdom I respond, "Wow Tom, what vision. You must stay up for weeks on end to come up with such incisive analysis. What truly intelligent writing. You don't just write news stories, Danehy. You dissect the sports issues like nobody I've seen since, um, Sabrina Dorsey, and your predictions have more holes in them than Patty Weiss' face. Rose Bowl? Meow."
Here's some quick advice, Danehy. Turn to the back few pages of The Weekly. Then hire one of those holistic ad-types to give you a good enema. Get that colon cleansed. Maybe that'll make you feel better. Why so bitter about so much, Tom? You come off as one of those ex-jocks who is mad at the world because he hasn't done shit with his life. Read your junk. If you can, that is. Hey, am I wrong? You make Newt Gingrich look like a class act. Every week, a new cheap shot at somebody behind their backs. Have some guts, Tom. If you're gonna be a dick, be a dick to somebody's face. Like me. Because your tired rap is an ex-president, baby. Bush!
I find it ironic that you constantly deride teams and players for a lack of "sportsmanship." You bemoan that they "play like thugs," and that they "talk trash." (What a coincidence. Almost all of these "bad sports" are black. Yasoo, bozz.) In other words, Tom, you don't like athletes who play like you write. Yes, sir, your columns tell us what true sportsmanship is really about. Or let's put it this way. Trash talk? Chris Webber has a picture of you on his wall, Danehy. You are trash talk, Tom. And a hypocrite supreme (now just 99 cents at Jack-in-the-Box).
Here's an example of what I mean. When Arizona made the Final Four last year, it should have bezen one of the happiest--and classiest--moments in school history. But Danehy and his boy Lute Olson used that moment not to exult, but to assail their enemies--real and imagined. And you saw the result: UA choked in the clutch.
Same deal in football. UA wins a bowl game. Danehy brags. UA gags. There's a lesson there somewhere. A lesson on (gasp) sportsmanship.
I can forgive Lute for being a dick. At least he's won a few thousand games. But methinks Mr. Danehy should wait to win something once in his life before he feels fit to be the authority on what, or who, sucks. With people like Danehy, Lute, Bill Frieder and Sean Elliot, Arizona has become famous for two things, whining and choking.
By the way, Tom, why the bug up your butt about Michigan? Did you go there in the past and get treated like what you really are? A big, fat zero. The amount of meaningful titles Arizona has ever won. (Yesssss! And he's fouled!)
Give me a break, Tom. I'm a sports fan in Tucson. I'm dying for a scrap of meat. And I get stuck with you and Greg Hansen. Hear that, Tom? We're lumping you in the same category as Hansen. That is sad. It doesn't have to be that way. But your columns hit the mark like Damon Stoudamire against Arkansas--4 for 25--Sooooiiiiieeeee! Write something positive for a change, Danehy. (And I don't mean the fluff piece on Steve Kerr. Terry McVeigh could say nice things about Steve Kerr!) Use your column to build something, not tear down everything--and everybody. Instead of smugly saying that "everything sucks," get off your fat ass and make a difference in your community...Go Cats. Go Blue. And Tom, Go Blow!
A final note: We've sent copies of Danehy's "work" back to Michigan. Now dogs in two states piss on his columns. Hey, Tom, we told Chris Webber that you think he sucks. He was so upset that he could barely cash his $55 million paycheck!!!
--Kevin Cottrell
Bureau BoosterTo the Editor,
Regarding "The G-Men Wore Jackboots" (Tucson Weekly, June 1): No comparison can be made between current FBI Director Louis Freeh and J. Edgar Hoover.
If you want to live in the past, go back and read a good book about George Washington. Oklahoma City was not a Black Panther armored car holdup.
This society must have law enforcement agencies that function in the context of the Constitution. Apparently, we are more civilized today.
All of us want law enforcement to come to our aid when we are in danger and cannot protect ourselves. That is the ideal we must work for and it is possible.

Mr. T and the author in 1992 at the San Diego Comic Book convention. From this point on, liquorhead's mission was clear...spread the word of T!
Few folks have achieved the pop culture Messiah status of Mister T. From cereal, to plastic sprinkler squirt toys, T has dominated our culture in a way that hasn't been seen since Elvis himself walked the earth.
Though out of the public eye for the most part since The A Team was taken off the air (a sad time for all, of course), the internet has helped T rise from the ashes like a black mohawked phoenix, ready to pity any fool who tries to throw jibba jabba in his wake.
One of the most remarkable Mr. T sites, is the near legendary MISTER T ATE MY BALLS designed by Nehal Patel. Consisting of a few divinely inspired pictures of Mister T exclaiming his cravings for testicles, the simple page has generated nearly a million hits since it's inception. With over 200 copycat "Ate My Balls" sites produced as a result, one could argue that this is the most influential website of all time.
"I am the best bodyguard, because I'll take a bullet, I'll take a stab wound, I'll take a hit upside the head; I'm like a Kamikaze pilot; the President got shot because his men relaxed."(Playboy, 1983)
Another incredible Mr. T web phenomenon is the wide variety of "Mister T vs. X" sites out there. The first of which was MR. T vs. SUPERMAN. Just like the "Ate My Balls" blitzkreig, the number of follow up sites started growing like gold chains on T's neck. As of this writing, more than 120 different opponents have faced T's wrath from Menudo, to Britney Spears, to Knight Rider, to Kathy Lee Gifford.
While Regis may be a man of words, T is a man of action
One of the more thorough collection of these Mister T battle sites is Mr. T vs EVERYTHING which every appearance catalogued, including many ignored by Yahoo like T vs. Vanilla Ice, a very X-E friendly T vs. Skeletor, and T vs. The Kool Aid Man. Apparently the only person T hasn't fought is Natalie Merchant. Whoops, looks like someone already did it.
Mr. T has united the web into the friendliest brotherhood of webmasters of all time. Unlike some sites, there's no backstabbing or competition among the T sites. Everyone's just happy to be celebrating all things T.
But the divine influence of T doesn't stop there. Here's even more cool T sites for your viewing pleasure.
BE SOMEBODY OR BE SOMEBODY'S FOOL a guide to a special video T made a while back. Full of video captures and tons of sound clips, it's the next best thing to owning this tremendous tape.
THE T DANCE If you've seen that annyong Hamster Dance webpage, you'll love this gem.
MAGIC MR. T HEAD Ask the mystic head of T a question, and I pity the fool that don't like his answer.
MR. T SHELL GAME Try your luck and see which shell Mr. T's head is under.
A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF CLUBBER LANG find out why T was Rocky's greatest opponent of all time(like you had any doubt).
MR. T's K-RAD HOME PAGE Reportedly the first Mr. T page on the internet, ever. Quite chock full of resources and other jibba jabba.
There's somehing unexplainably beautiful about a Mr. T webpage. No matter how hacked out, crappy, and amateurish they may be, there's something calming and nurturing about them in a way that can only be defined as fatherly.
In a strange way, Mr. T is like a father to everyone, using the web to reach out and help us when we need him, make us laugh when we're down, and giving us fighting techniques aplenty to help us out with all those bullies in our life.
Something tells me as long as there's an internet, Mr. T's gonna be there for us all.
'Cause he's helluva tough. That's why.

Can we create Deep Forest using Grow FX ?

Grow Fx is really more for plant or tree creation. For actual forest creation you could either scatter proxies (vray or mental ray) made from grow Fx objects, or use a proxy scattering software like itoosoft forest pack, which is rediculously powerful for the money. Also, you will want as much ram as possible! I have 16 gigs and I rarely run into problems with fairly large sites.

Quadruped Class by Javier Solsona
Advanced Character Rigging: Creating Dynamic Characters With Muscles, Tendons and More by TJ Galda
Cinematic Storytelling by Rodrigo Lopez
Lead Creature Technical Director
Propaganda Games
Here you can find all AUTODESK events at VIEW
Javier Solsona is the
lead creature technical director at Vancouver's Propaganda
Games, and is currently working on the latest installment
of Turok.
He was born in Argentina and grew up in Patagonia. From an
early age, he was creating graphics on his Commodore 64 at
home-painstakingly painting pixel by pixel. Many years later-
still in front of a computer- Javier obtained his B.Sc. in
Computer Sciences from the University of Cape Town, South
Africa. During his last year at UCT, he was introduced to
Multimedia and 3D animation and there was no looking back.
He worked for over 3 years at Electonic Arts in Vancouver
as a character animator before making the jump to Propaganda
Games. He is a member of the 3D Program Advisory Committee
for the Arts Institute of Vancouver and can often be found
answering questions on many of the rigging online forums.
Outside of work, Javier is an avid traveler, photographer,
skier and kite-boarder.
Class 1 – The back and neck
In this session, the
creation of a quadruped IK/FK spine setup will be clearly
Using the knowledge and tricks learnt from the spine setup,
the head and neck setup will be explored.
Attendees will complete this session with an understanding
of the challenges of building a quadruped rig and how to build
a quadruped ik/fk spine. Using a similar technique we'll build
the neck setup. The focus is on thinking outside the box to
solve given problems.
Intended Audience: Intermediate and advanced Maya users who
are familiar with Maya. Aspiring Technical Directors who are
interested in a different type of rig than the standard biped.
Class 2 – The Legs
In this section, the
creation of both the front and back legs setup for a quadruped
will be explored. A reverse foot lock setup will be explored
as well as a very powerful pivot change system where the animator
only requires one simple controller which gives them absolute
freedom to control the foot. A look at how to build an automated
tail setup so that the animation team can create efficient
and fast animations with minimal amount of work. Finishing
and cleaning all the loose ends is a very important part of
rig creation that is often overlooked.
Attendees will complete this session with an understanding
of how to build front and hind legs setups for a quadruped
as well as how to build tools to help the animation team with
tedious animation problems like animating secondary movements.
A complete new look at how to build a foot setup will be explored
and how to go think of new ideas from your existing toolset.
Intended Audience: Intermediate and advanced Maya users who
are familiar with Maya.
Aspiring Technical Directors who are interested in a different
type of rig than the standard biped.

Character Rigging: Creating Dynamic Characters With Muscles,
Tendons and More
You will learn how to
create musculature for your characters that simulates sliding
skin and flesh, while maintaining speed for animation. You
will learn several tricks to create your own muscles, tendons
and more that do not require simulation and baking time. Starting
from examining your forearm and hand, TJ will go in depth
on the usage and explanation of weight painting to maximize
your efficiency. From there, we will progress into advanced
rigging including rigging with muscles, allowing for squash
and stretch, writing custom expressions to account for various
predictable anatomical phenomena and a variety of other advanced
topics. These techniques have been utilized in several feature
films and are based on a solid understanding of anatomy and
Maya. You will learn alternatives to dynamic musculature solutions
and leave with a variety of options. This is going to be one
packed session, and notes will be available on DVD after the

I think I'll throw in my 2 cents. I'm somewhat new to noisebridge, but I'm enthusiastic about becoming a member and (hopefully) will be one soon. It would make me sad if the space was closed at nights, but also after doing an all nighter here last week it was pretty apparent why nighttime access is a problem. It would be great if it was a relatively chill space all night long. The idea of taking a temporary measure with a sunset clause is a great one - I feel that it might inspire people to come to meetings with a specific need to reach consensus (if you're going to use the space at night, suggest a solution and take responsibility). Even if all measures were only temporary, at least the space of answers is actively explored and experimented with.

I also wonder if agenda items such 'Discussion of the efficacy and effects of installing the analog video camera' would be too specific, or if they could be productive - what I mean is atomic discussions of small but potentially significant trials and their resulting impacts. I guess this is suggesting the idea of a 'scientific' approach.

 I like Kelly's solution to this problem. The biggest problem I see is doing nothing at all and people blocking it for silly and illogical reasons. I also like the idea of a member or a trusted person being responsible for a guest. The way I see it is if we want a 24/7 space it is a great thing. With all great things, come great responsibility and we are avoiding that.

What I would suggest is temporarily closing at night until we implement something better than what is going on now(nothing). We could vote every week on it. This way Nosebridge is a safer drama free place for now and will hopefully motivate the "No members hours" people to get going.

Please be aware I am not a member and would most likely be affected by Nosebridge not being open at night.

Kirsten Dunst still really beautiful
Kirsten Dunst was spotted reading Carl Sagan's "The Varieties of Scientific Experience" while hanging out on a Maui beach. I'm assuming she's reading the book to try and understand how a person can spend as much time in the sun as she does and still be this pale. It's like her ugly scares off sunlight the way it does eveyrthing else in the universe. She's like the repelling equivalent of a black hole.
More of Kirsten Dunst looking like a fox on the beach after the jump.
