Cache Coeur Bergamo
From the book's pattern description:
"Cache-Coeur (rhymes with wash-her) literally translates from French as "hide the heart" and is used in the French dance world to describe the crossover tops ballerinas wear. Designer Veronik Avery, who is French-Canadian, borrowed the romantic term for this short vest that, she says, both hides and warms the heart…Bergamo is the name of the tubular wool ribbon with which the vest is made."

Hey all,

SoĀ few weeks ago my pristine Samsung Nexus S got batted into a cup of water by my roommate's cat. Apparently it was only in there for a few seconds, and my girlfriend pulled it out. When I got back home about 5 hours later I disassembled it, took the heatgun to it and removed all traces of water. The base area that fell into the water was a bit corroded but looked pretty much fine and I cleaned it up best I could. It worked for the remainder of that night.

Now it doesn't turn on at all, but I bet there's just one area that is holding up the system from starting. Also, the soft backlit buttons on the bezel never turn off.

That said, can anyone use this thing for parts?

KEFLAVIK, ICELAND – Verne Global, which announced a cloud launch this week by client Datapipe and its client risk-modeling specialist RMS, is uniquely positioned from a geographical and business perspective. Its position close to the Arctic Circle in Iceland provides outside-air cooling year-round. Additionally the country's power industry, which uses natural resources (hydro and geothermal) to produce electricity, have been able to agree to long term power contracts with Verne Global ensuring price stability for up to 20 years. Built on a decommissioned NATO base, the nondescript building is the home to highly-dense compute power and hundreds of terabytes of storage. This, in addition to connectivity to Europe and the United States, drew Datapipe and its client RMS to use the facility for its new risk-modeling cloud platform.

WASHINGTON, Aug 25 (Reuters) - The Pentagon's chief financial officer forecast the White House would seek real growth of about 1 percent in the next Defense Department budget, despite growing calls for cuts.
"I expect there will be some modest growth in the budget," Robert Hale, the department's comptroller, said in a telephone conference with reporters on Wednesday. "We've asked for about 1 per cent for the top line above inflation -- and I think we have a shot at getting that." (Reporting by Jim Wolf; Editing by John Wallace)

Andy Siwicki re-joined Kidderminster Victoria as part of a major recruitment drive by the Birmingham League Premier Club during the winter.
The batsmen had a prolific three seasons scoring 1,135, 755 and 954 respectively.
Father and son Andy and Dan Platt have also left to join local rivals Bewdley.
Stourport are also keen to bounce back after relegation to Worcestershire County League Division Three.
"Andy scored an awful lot of runs so we are bound to miss him, but it's up to the team to make up for his loss," said the skipper.
"Kidderminster is a good standard of cricket so you can't blame him for going back.
"But it's up to myself, Bevan Neill and Ryan Delo to score over 500 runs this season.
"We also want to bounce back from relegation. We're looking forward to what the season holds for us."
Stourport made a strong start to the season as they saw off Avoncroft by ten wickets With the chance of rain interruptions during the game they won a crucial toss and elected to field.

Neill was 58 not out and Michael Pratt 28 not out sharing an unbroken opening stand as Stourport cruised passed the Avoncroft score in the 18th over.
This Saturday, Stourport travel to Gloucestershire to face league newcomers Bredon.

CSIA: Integrator insurance program expands, Benham joins
Exton, PA —Good news for system integrators includes formation of a CSIA insurance company, expanding the existing insurance program, and news that the Benham Companies , one of the largest U.S. design-built companies, joined the Control System Integrators Association (CSIA) .
Benham was the only one of three winners of the Control Engineering 2007 System Integrator of the Year that wasn't a CSIA member.
Insurance update: At the CSIA conference in Santa Fe New Mexico, in April, attendees were provided an update on the status of the CSIA Insurance Program, established seven years ago to help members access insurance which provides the specialized coverage they require at appropriate rates. A primary focus, CSIA says, has always been ensuring that insured activities are properly coded or classified, a considerable challenge when dealing with underwriters who may not understand what an integrator does.
The program provides members of CSIA coverage for workers compensation, general, auto and professional liability (errors and omissions), property and umbrella coverage, as well as some ancillary coverages required for member's non-integration activities. There are currently 78 CSIA members participating in the program, which generates approximately $4 million in annual premiums. It is the only insurance program specifically for control system integrators. CSIA marketing committee expressed interested in expanding to 200 insured participants by 2012, after identifying approximately 700 qualified prospective CSIA members. Access to the insurance program is among member benefits.
For elite integrators, says Jim Campbell, chair of the CSIA Insurance Committee, the "CSIA Insurance Company" is expected to start underwriting risk by year-end 2007. The company will be owned by a number of CSIA members who loaned funds to help form the company and qualify under SEC rules to purchase unregistered shares. Initially CSIA Insurance Company will provide reinsurance for CSIA members' workers compensation, general and professional liability risks, Campbell explains. All other coverages in the CSIA insurance program will continue to be offered, but will not be written by the captive. CSIA members that qualify to become part of the captive program will be required to purchase all captive lines, but will not be required to purchase shares in CSIA Insurance Company. Certified CSIA members will be eligible for an automatic rate credit, reflecting the belief that certification helps CSIA members to better manage their risks.
By sharing risk with the CSIA insurance program's issuing carrier, CSIA Insurance Company's investors will demonstrate their long term commitment to, and belief in, pro-active loss prevention and claims management practices. In the event that long term loss experience is favorable, CSIA Insurance Company provides a mechanism for sharing underwriting profits with investors, as well as future rate credits for insured. Most importantly, it will help to deliver appropriate coverage and rates for the unique exposures faced by CSIA members.
Benham's membership in CSIA , the largest organization of control system integrators in the world, was announced June 25. Benham's Systems Division, with offices in Oklahoma City, Detroit, Houston, and St. Louis, specializes in the design, engineering, development and integration of hardware and software systems to the industrial, manufacturing, commercial, public, and military sectors.
Benham, along with Advanced Automation (Exton, PA) and Concept Systems Inc. (Albany, OR), earned the "System Integrator of the Year" title in the first year of the awards program, which its sponsor, Reed Business Information's Control Engineering magazine, characterized as "system integration at its best."
"When the winners were announced late last year," CSIA Executive Director Norman O'Leary said, "we were quite proud of CSIA member representation. Two of the three top winners and eight of the 13 other finalists, including the only international integrator to be so honored, were Certified members of the association. At the time," O'Leary recalled, "we felt we had made quite a statement regarding the level of quality represented by the CSIA brand. Adding a respected company like Benham raises the bar even higher."
Benham Systems Division clients include the U.S. Army, the U.S. Air Force, the Department of Energy, Ford Motor Co., General Motors, Eaton Corp., Daimler Chrysler, the State of Oklahoma, and the State of Missouri. The Benham Companies LLC, founded in 1909, is a fully integrated design-build company embracing all elements of design, technology integration and environmental stewardship. It maintains 13 offices nationwide and is headquartered in Oklahoma City.
CSIA, in its second decade, helps system integrators become better business managers. Its Certified Member program provides an industry-specific means for end users to identify areas of importance and minimize the uncertainties in selecting a system integrator, while also offering a framework for integrators to evaluate and improve their own businesses.
In other recent association news, CSIA voted in Robert Zeigenfuse as president and chief executive officer

I cannot remember how it first started, but many years ago (back in the 80's!) I had an idea to use Cool Whip to frost a cake I was making. I don't know why I thought to do that. It just seemed like a good idea at the time. I don't remember if I heard of doing that from some where, or it was just something that came to me. I am lucky if I remember what I had for breakfast let alone 20+ years ago).
Using Cool Whip as frosting turned out great. From that point on I used it frequently on cakes and cupcakes. It works best when it's thawed (spreads easier). Then just pop it in the fridge to firm it up again. Because it's real Cool Whip it can't be left out. I has to be kept in the fridge. That is fine with me.
When my husband and I were dating I made him a few cakes using Cool Whip as frosting. I think I made it a little too much because for a while he never wanted to look at a dollop of Cool Whip. LOL! 🙂 He's OK with it now.
Fast forward to today. Now there is an actual Coo Whip Frosting! Not only that it comes in different flavors too – Vanilla, Chocolate and Cream Cheese. YUMMY!!!!
Sadly, because the product is so new it's not available in all stores – yet. You can check to see if it's in your area with the product locator: http://ProductLocator.KraftFoods.com/KraftFoods/ProductLocator.htm. Just do a search for Cool Whip Frosting and put in your zip code and it will tell you what stores in your area currently have the product available. I am anxious to try it so I hope it will appear locally for me in the very near future.
The new Cool Whip Frosting can be found in the freezer aisle next to regular Cool Whip topping. You will need to thaw it first before using it. Either let it thaw at room temperature for an hour before using, or let it sit in the fridge for four hours before you are ready to frost with it.
This perfectly sweet frosting is whipped so it's easier to spread. Unlike other frosting products the Cool Whip Frosting won't tear your cake or cupcakes (I hate when that happens!).
Try using Cool Whip Frosting on your traditional holiday desserts and treats instead of what you regularly use. I'm sure family and friends will enjoy the new twist on their favorite treats.
This would be great to keep in the freezer for those times when unexpected guests stop by and you need to whip up a quick and easy dessert. You could easily pick up a pre-made pound cake and frost it with the Cool Whip Frosting for a tasty dessert.
I'm thinking about how this frosting would taste spread in the middle of two cookies? Humm… I'll have to try that.
If you need some inspiration, check out these recipes.
Oatmeal Cranberry Walnut Frosted Cookies
I saw Cool Whip Frosting (S'mores recipe) in the latest edition of All You magazine.
Look for the new Cool Whip Frosting in the freezer aisle of a store near your (or use the store locator linked above).
For more information about Cool Whip visit www.KraftBrands.com/CoolWhip. You can also check out the brand on Facebook and Twitter (also look for the hashtag #CoolWhipFrosting). I also found their Pinterest page, which of course features a lot of great recipe ideas too. There are also recipe ideas (with mouth watering photos!) on their Facebook page too.
I have a great prize package that will give you "reasons to celebrate" with Cool Whip Frosting. One lucky reader will win the fooling awesome prize package valued at $100.
- 3 Gratuity coupons
- Heart shaped mold tray
- Sandra Lee Bake Sale Cookbook

With his duet project with Damian Marley 'Distant Relatives', Nas is expected to debut high on the U.S. albums chart.
Two years after ruling Billboard Hot 200 with his "Untitled" album, Nas is ready to storm the U.S. albums chart once again. This year, the rapper dropped a "provocative collaboration" in an album titled "Distant Relatives" with reggae musician Damian Marley.
Making its way across the United States on May 18, the album already cracked the Top 10 on the U.S. iTunes reggae albums chart. On Billboard Hot 200 itself, this album which features the likes of K'naan, Stephen Marley, Joss Stone and Lil Wayne is also expected to debut high.
Though so, Nas and Damian said in a joint statement that the duet effort is not aimed at being commercial. "What we're about to do right now is go back. Back to a time when rap's greatest hits were created in basement soundrooms, not corporate boardrooms. When dancehall and hip-hop music was all about moving the crowd not moving units," they explained.
Stating that he "always liked how reggae and hip-hop have always been intertwined and always kind of pushed each other," Nas added to Reuters, "It [the project] was something that I needed to do to help me push forward lyrically."
Marley said further, "We wanted to come up with something fresh and creative and reflect Nas' music, reflect my music, but still not be clones of either. The album is multilayered with the African theme throughout, not just what we are saying but even musically."
In support of the new album, a number of dates, including a slot at Bonnaroo Music Festival, have been listed on Nas' MySpace. A music video to promote the lead single "As We Enter" has also been premiered earlier this year.

TOKYO -- Roman Catholic bishops from across Asia will hold a summit on "The Impact of Pedophilia" in the Catholic Church, saying abusive priests are not simply "a problem of the West."
The Federation of Roman Catholic Asian Bishops' Conferences will host a seminar for bishops and clergy Nov. 14-19 at Assumption University in Bangkok, Thailand.
"(I)t is an urgent task before us, especially the leaders of the church, to come together to devise some mechanisms to prevent future occurrences of child abuse by church men/women," the bishops' clergy office said.
"Let us not be complacent that pedophilia is a problem of the West or the other continents of the world; it is equally prevalent in many countries of Asia," the office said in an announcement on its website.
On May 16, the Vatican gave all bishops conferences one year to formulate national policies on clerical sex abuse of minors. The Vatican's chief prosecutor of abuse cases, Monsignor Charles J. Scicluna, will be on hand to help Asian bishops craft "specific guidelines."
The Asian bishops cited several factors that led to the summit, including "letters from different quarters of the church that pedophilia has already become a considerably serious problem in Asia."
The bishops said they wanted to address the problem "squarely and without delay" before it got "out of hand like it has done in the other countries of the world."
But "how many letters, I cannot tell you exactly," the Rev. Lawrence Pinto, the office's executive secretary, told ENInews. "In my casual talks with bishops and archbishops, they mention that it is becoming a problem. So the office of clergy decided to organize this seminar."

New Recruit Wants Anime Recommendations
Ok, i'm new to the whole off the mainstream anime thing and have been addicted to the whole Anime thing.
Before I could wait over six months without seeing any Anime, and I kept it that way to avoid addiction. But now I wanna see some more and would like some recommendations for a n00b.
Here are the kinds of anime I want to see:
- Off the mainstream Anime. Animes with titles I can't pronounce or titles only people on this forum would know about. Not even American TV aired shows like Inuyasha or Naruto.
- Fantasy/SciFi Anime, basically any anime with either RPG-style journeys or mechs (or both if there is one).
- Explain what the Anime is about with your reason for recommendation.
- And MOST OF ALL
hentai = NO!
Nothing even with any scenes close to hentai or nudity, I MEAN THIS!!!! There's nothing that scares n00b fans of Anime away more than hentai.
- I don't care if it's violent. I've got a strong stomach.
So, worsen my -er I mean help my addiction by giving me some recommendations. Please.

Hunter X Hunter is one that I would recommend, mainly because it's my favorite action/adventure series and it's unknown to the US market since it hasn't been licensed yet.
Story is mainly about a young boy in search of his father, who is a proffesional Hunter. In order to find clues about him, he decides to become one himself, and there's where his journey starts. Hunters are not what you're thinking off, they are not people that go get their shotgun and go hunt bears or some shit. They are specialized people that take on missions, like bodyguards, hunt down murders, etc.

Jacky's Electronics, the UAE's leading multi-electronics retailer, has seen continuous 2009 first quarter growth in Smartphone usage across all customer segments, resulting in a 30 per cent overall increase in sales.

The top leading brands in the Smartphone segment are the BlackBerry, HTC, Nokia and Imate.
"The UAE's Smartphone penetration rates have improved as a result of better and more affordable data packages offered by local telecom providers. Etisalat and du are offering various subscription plans that are cost-effective, convenient and include international roaming services to suit the needs of business executives wanting to access their emails anywhere in the world," said Jimmy Patel, General Manager, Jacky's Electronics.
"We believe that the demand for Smartphones will be sustained despite the current economic turmoil as niche consumers are willing to spend on new technologies that make their life simple and easy. This year, we will continue to see mobile manufacturers aggressively introducing a wide range of sleek products with good features and competitive prices. This is being further supplemented by developers, such as Intel, designing mobile net devices for better function."
Popularity in the growth of Smartphones can be further attributed to their enhanced role as portable computers with top-of-the-line capabilities. Most now offer unique touch screen interfaces or full QWERTY keyboards and excellent features such as messenger, internet surfing, MP3 players and portable video devices.
In addition, sleek, convenient designs, unique touch screen interfaces and wide network support, along with high speed data synchronisation and GPS capabilities, further add to their status within the market. "We are a very transient society, always on the move. Traditionally these 'road warriors' were forced to lug around heavy laptops, now they can do everything they need in the palm of their hand," added Patel.
Currently, Jacky's Electronics is offering free Cross pen for any purchase of BlackBerry Smartphones from 16th April to 2nd May, This exclusive Smartphone promotion will be available in all 13 Jacky's outlets across Dubai, Sharjah and in the recently opened outlet at Bawadi Mall in Al Ain.

Miami • Anxious to avoid an Orange Bowl shocker, the Florida State Seminoles kept getting tricked.
An onside kick fooled them, as did a fake punt, and a pooch punt by Northern Illinois' star quarterback.
But the final score was no surprise. Florida State had too much speed and depth for the Huskies and pulled away for a 31-10 victory Tuesday night.
Senior fullback Lonnie Pryor, voted the game's outstanding player, ran for a career-high 134 yards and two scores in only five carries. Senior EJ Manuel threw for 291 yards, while the Seminoles stuffed Huskies' QB and all-purpose threat Jordan Lynch for most of the night.
"We came out here and did what we had to do," Pryor said.
The victory was a consolation prize for the No. 13 Seminoles (12-2), who began the season with national championship hopes. They've won five consecutive bowl games, but the victory was their first in a BCS bowl since 2000, when they beat Virginia Tech for the national championship.
For 16th-ranked Northern Illinois (12-2), playing in a BCS bowl for the first time, the defeat snapped a 12-game winning streak. The Huskies came in as two-touchdown underdogs and fell to 5-28 against top 25 teams.
"We knew that they was going to play us tough," Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said. "But our kids, it's another step in which we handled the big platform, and I'm very proud of them."
Pryor scored the first touchdown on a career-long 60-yard run, then ran 37 yards for a clinching touchdown with 10 minutes left. They were the two longest rushes allowed by Northern Illinois all season.
"I'm glad I'm a Nole, and I'm glad the seniors went out with a bang," Pryor said. "I always wanted to be MVP of a bowl, and I told myself that every time I get the ball, to try to make a big play."
Manuel went 26 for 38, threw for one score and ran for another.
"We just kept playing," he said. "Now we're going to enjoy ourselves."
The Huskies were widely derided as unworthy of a BCS bowl berth, and didn't do enough to silence the doubters. They were outgained 534 yards to 259.
The trick plays in the kicking game helped keep the Huskies close until the fourth quarter, but when it came to Lynch, not much fooled a Seminoles defense ranked second in the nation. And the Huskies' last attempt at razzle-dazzle backfired when receiver Da'Ron Brown lost a fumble on an end around at midfield, setting up Florida State's final touchdown.
Lynch came into the game leading the nation in rushing and total offense, and he threw or ran on nearly every play for the Huskies.

The 'Smallest Military in Decades' Lie
With the Pentagon facing cuts to a tiny portion of its budget, the right wing is in full freakout mode and they're lying to support the claim that we need to spend more, not less, on weapons.

Good, bad news on the crime front
First and foremost. There were no reported homicides overnight. Death actually took a day off in the county, after an especially brutal few days that saw a rash of six homicides in Chester and a slaying in Sharon Hill as well.
More good news from Collingdale, where police have made an arrest in the vandalism that targeted the historic Eden Cemetery, final resting spot of many notable African-Americans.
Police say a teen is expected to turn himself in today to face charges in connection with damage to 201 headstones at the historic cemetery.
He is one of three juveniles believed involved to the vandalism spree.
Unfortunately, since he's under age, he likely will not be exposed to the public shame he so richly deserves.
The bad news? We've now hit 11 days since the hit-run accident that took the life of 16-year-old Faith Sinclair.
She was struck and killed as she tried to cross Chester Pike about 10 p.m. on Sunday night Aug. 3.
Police have impounded the car they believe was involved in the accident. They know who owns the black 2000 S-Type Mercedes. They have called him a "person of interest" in the case. No charges have been filed. The owner so far has declined to discuss the situation with authorities.
Police do not know who was driving. All they know is the silence coming from their investigation.
11 days and counting.

Technology companies can play a major role in solving the toughest problems plaguing the world, if they apply their innovative thinking to issues such as climate change and health care, former U.S. President Bill Clinton said Wednesday.
Clinton, speaking at Microsoft Corp.'s Government Leaders Forum for the Americas, urged Microsoft and other technology companies to get involved in world problems outside their immediate scope.
Members of the tech community and country leaders attending the forum are "well-suited to answer" questions about climate change, hunger, AIDS and other problems, said Clinton, founder of the Clinton Global Initiative, an organization focused on economic development, health care and other worldwide issues.
Tech groups and forum attendees can help bring electricity and technology to remote clinics, Clinton said. They can help the U.S. look at new ways to deliver health care without skyrocketing costs, he said.
"Do we have to carry [rising health care costs] like a ball and chain on our children's and our grandchildren's future, down to the end of time?" he asked. "What is the role of information technology in escaping this box we've put ourselves in in health care?"
Tech companies could help raise the standard of living in Puerto Rico by helping create new energy sources, instead of the island importing all of its energy, Clinton noted. "How could Microsoft help with technology?" he said.
IT and government leaders could also work together to come up with innovative ways to deal with massive, overflowing landfills in India and poverty in Haiti, he said. "Does Haiti have to go down to the end of time being by far the poorest country in our hemisphere?" he said.
Too often, debates in Washington and elsewhere focus on two questions -- about what to do and how much it will cost -- instead of questioning how to accomplish the goals, Clinton added. He encouraged forum attendees to focus on "How?"
"I have decided to spend the rest of my life being in the 'how' business," he said.
While Clinton focused on broad issues in his speech, others at the forum talked about ways technology can help solve problems. Technology itself doesn't create innovation, but it can be a platform for new ideas, said Mohsen Khalil, director of global information and communication technologies at World Bank Group.
Developing countries have focused on innovations on top of telecommunications networks, including prepaid calling cards, free mobile roaming and mobile banking, Khalil said.
"Innovation for developing countries is not a question of technology or invention," he said. "Innovation is a matter of change in process, in developing new solutions and transformation of ideas."
Representatives of two provinces in Argentina also described how partnerships with Microsoft are allowing consumers there to buy PCs. San Luis Province has partnered with Microsoft and others to offer residents a 50% discount on PCs, and the number of households there that have PCs has risen by 2% since Dec. 15, when the discount program started, said Alberto Rodriguez Saá, governor of the province.

But there is an issue with the browser resize functionality in this extension as it doesn't allows you to add custom browser size, it comes with a couple of resizing sizes, for the same you may use another extension called 'Window Resizer' which let's you add custom size for resizing the current window size.
2. Windows Resizer
As I explained above, Web Developer extensions doesn't fits very well for resizing the current browser size I use Window Resizer for the same. It lets you add custom size for resizing the current window. It also has an added option to display the current windows size as a tooltip in bottom right corner, it changes synchronously as you resize the browser.
3. ColorZilla
I always love those elegant and cool color schemes across the web, ColorZilla fits the best at this place. You can directly pick color from a webpage or open color picker to choose your own, apart from these you can choose color format in which it should copy it to the clipboard.
4. Page Speed
While debugging a web page it's always been necessary to check the page speed and errors to maintain the page speed score and faster web page load. Page Speed from Google gives several important information which helps you to troubleshoot the page errors.
There are also a couple of other Chrome Extensions I use on daily basis like Search by image, View background image, Highlight to Search etc. Using such helpful extensions doesn't only saves your time, it also help you maintain the quality of your service.

Set Visit to Glee
Live (or Almost Live) From the Set of Glee!
If I was excited for Glee after just a few clips and the first episode, I'd say that excitement has now reached DEFCON 1 after visiting the set. I traveled to LA on Wednesday to hang out with the cast of this upcoming Fox comedy from Nip/Tuck creator Ryan Murphy — and lucky for me it was a performance day.
All the actors playing glee club members were on hand to perform their routine to a Queen song (over and over again — oh, the life of an actor). The performance, as you might expect, included a lot of choreographed dance movies, and let me tell you: it is heaven. You'd think that after watching the same routine performed at least eight times, I would be a little jaded, but I'm not. I'm just even more excited for you all to see this show, and I can't believe nobody thought of this idea before.
A few other tidbits from my set visit:
- The actors don't perform the songs live, which means they're not only learning their lines and up to three dance routines an episode, but they're also booking studio time to record their songs. It's a lot of work, but they all seem to be loving it.
- I asked anyone who would listen if a soundtrack was on the way, and most responded it was definitely something they're thinking about. I'm really going to want these arrangements after they air.
- The super-cool Jane Lynch invited a group of us into her trailer. She's the tallest woman I've ever met. She also gets to wear many colorful track suits when in character as the surly cheerleading coach, which is hilarious.
I have so much more to share with you, so check back over the coming weeks for my interviews with the stars of Glee!

Previous Article - X-Entertainment - Next Article --- By Matt - 7/20/'02
E.T. wasn't the only freak from outer space to travel millions of light years just to taste the sweet peanut buttery goodness of Reese's Pieces. To some, they're just little globs of candy. To others, they're the world. And it's difficult to argue with such an extremist opinion about something as trivial as candy when you consider just how good Reese's Pieces really are. They're deceptively popular. Everyone loves RPs, but nobody ever really talks about it. It's like one of those subconscious things. But go to any birthday party, and look at what's eaten up the quickest. It's not gonna be the Mary Janes or the Dots or even the licorice - it's gonna be Reese's. So we can't fault space aliens for making such a long journey. You can only buy Reese's Pieces on one planet, and there's no way we can deny the rest of the universe a candy so great.
You all know what E.T. looks like, so today we'll focus on that other alien - the only other UFO on whom we've established positive photographic evidence of - this is one martian who understands the power of confectionary sugar. You might remember him, you might not, but it doesn't matter much anyway since the thing bought so much Reese's Pieces on his last visit, he probably won't need to come back till the mid 2080s. By then it's probable we'll all be dead, but absolutely definite that they'll be marketing Reese's Pieces colored in Shocking Electric Blue.
It all started at some old guy's general store. Even fifteen years ago, this place was outdated. The only thing the man really went out of his way to restock was milk - everything else just sat on the shelves for years like this was a dilapidated food museum, and he was the curator. In truth, he was just too set in his old style ways. Times were changing. The customers wanted more from their supermarkets and delis, but Old Man Curator for the life of him couldn't figure out what he should be doing differently.
He hadn't had a customer in days, if you don't count the guy who faked an asthma attack just so he could run out the store without paying for half a pound of Old Man Curator's famous honey-glazed turkey. So, when he sees the general store's doors fly open, he's ecstatic. Finally, a customer! Him and Ma Curator won't have to get second jobs or donate plasma after all!
But something seemed a tad off. Usually the silhouettes of oncoming customers didn't look so...otherworldly. Old Man Curator didn't think much of it, though - his sight isn't what it used to be, and as a general exercise, he spends most mornings getting hammered. Dim lighting and cataracts are other factors, too. OM Curator sees no reason to get the shotgun, at least not yet anyway. Why scare off the only potential customer you've had in a month on the extremely off-chance he's a space alien? Economically speaking, it'd be a huge mistake. And at his age, OM Curator can't afford to make huge mistakes without people throwing around words like 'senility' and 'hospice' as an accompaniment. He'll just have to wait this one out.
As the mysterious being draws closer, OM Curator finds himself a little more nervous than he'd like to be. His human customers typically don't have blue skin - except for that one time when the rowdy city folk stumbled in. They were in town for a NY Giants game, all naked and painted in the team's colors, and our friendly Curator was forced to deal with several inferences that he was dating, married to, and/or fucking his cousin. OM hasn't been too fond of city folk since then.
But just as the Curator gets lost in a sea of disheartening memoria, the mysterious customer makes his presence known. He's a space alien, and more importantly, a space alien with money to burn. Can the Curator look past his own prejudices and make the sale before it's too late? Let's find out.
The alien speaks in a strange, foreign dialect. We're not sure what he wants. I guess he could be asking the Curator to be taken to our leader. I dunno, if that was me, I'd definitely pretend to be the supreme ruling dictator of Earth. It's not because I want to fuck with aliens, it's just that I know they're more likely to do me a favor if they think I run the show. My softball team could really use an extra-terrestrial cleanup hitter.
Old Man Curator desperately tries to decipher the alien's needs, and just by chance, finds himself offering up a small bag of Reese's Pieces. There's several reasons for this. Firstly, it worked in E.T., so why would it be any different now? More importantly, the Curator isn't sure how aliens go about eating food. Who knows if they even use their mouths? He can't very well offer up pot roast - who knows if it'll offend him? You don't want to piss off an alien, the chances remain high that they're carrying ultimate nullifier rayguns. Why then, would you offer this candy over everything else? Simple. No matter what digestive processes this alien uses, this has to be the safest bet. After all, there's no wrong way to eat a Reese's.
Will the alien take the bait? The fate of mankind at large depends on it. Now is not the time for the Curator to worry about the currency exchange between Earth dollars and Saturn dollars. Now is the time for diplomacy. Who knows, maybe the government will throw OM one of those leftover Purple Heart awards for his troubles.
You know what I like about Reese's Pieces? If you just shake the sealed bags, they double as really cheap maracas. When the novelty wears off, you can eat the whole thing and claim that you've got 'music in your soul' to all who'll listen. That's a whole lot of plus sides for a measly 79 cents. I doubt the alien would want 'em for that reason, but it'd be a terrific visual if he started shaking them while singing Buster Poindexter's Hot, Hot, Hot. Corellian Calypso?
And the alien likes it! Reese's saves the fate of humanity...again! Old Man Curator couldn't be happier. Actually, he'd be a little bit happier if the alien paid for the candy. But all things considered, things couldn't have turned out better. Our friendly UFO happily gobbles up the Reese's before looking lovingly towards OM, as if to say: 'Thanks for the candy. I had planned to eat you but this is even better.'
Just as mysteriously as he arrived, the alien returns to his ship. Well, we're not really sure he's headed towards his ship, but it'd make more sense than having him skip to the nearest bowling alley or pizzeria. Will we ever see him again? Probably not, Reese's didn't want to become a one-trick pony with this space alien crap. Pretty soon kids were gonna assume that Reese's was strictly for aliens, in the same way beer was strictly for adults. I'm not kidding - for years I wouldn't eat any type of stew because I was positive it was only for dogs. So yes, the alien is gone - this time for good. We'll all miss him. The only other place you might've seen him is in comic book advertisements, but aliens-in-print as opposed to the real thing is really scraping the bottom of the barrel if we're talking about passable consolation prizes. Bye, Alien. Take good care of yourself.
Ma: Who was that?
Curator: I'm not sure. I think it was that sick kid from down the street.
Ma: What did he want?
Curator: Reese's Pieces.
Ma: Interesting. I didn't hear the register drawer open.
Curator: I kinda gave it to him for free.
Ma: What in tarnation? Pa, that money coulda bought us chicken feed for weeks.
Curator: Don't worry. I lifted his wallet when he turned around.
Ma: Okay good. How much loot we get?
Curator: Well, there's no cash. But there's gotta be at least fourteen ounces of plutonium here. We could just feed that to the chickens.
Ma: Oh, Pa...no we can't. They're still reeling from the effects of last night's dinner.
Curator: You're the one who said chickens were cannibals!

text: While Sir Tristram and the fair Isoude abode yet at La Joyeuse Garde, Sir Tristram rode forth one day, without armor, having no weapon but his spear and his sword. And as he rode he came to a place where he saw two knights in battle, and one of them had gotten the better, and the other lay overthrown. The knight who had the better was Sir Palamedes. When Sir Palamedes knew Sir Tristram, he cried out, "Sir Tristram, now we be met, and ere we depart we will redress our old wrongs." "As for that," said Sir Tristram, "there never yet was Christian man that might make his boast that I ever fled from him, and thou that art a Saracen shalt never say that of me." And therewith Sir Tristram made his horse to run, and with all his might came straight upon Sir Palamedes, and broke his spear upon him. Then he drew his sword and struck at Sir Palamedes six great strokes, upon his helm. Sir Palamedes saw that Sir Tristram had not his armor on, and he marvelled at his rashness and his great folly; and said to himself, "If I meet and slay him I am ashamed wheresoever I go." Then Sir Tristram cried out and said, "Thou coward knight, why wilt thou not do battle with me? for have thou no doubt I shall endure all thy malice." "Ah, Sir Tristram!" said Sir Palamedes, "thou knowest I may not fight with thee for shame; for thou art here naked, and I am armed; now I require that thou answer me a question that I shall ask you." "Tell me what it is," said Sir Tristram. "I put the case," said Sir Palamedes, "that you were well armed, and I naked as ye be; what would you do to me now, by your true knighthood?" "Ah!" said Sir Tristram, "now I understand thee well, Sir Palamedes; and, as God me bless, what I shall say shall not be said for fear that I have of thee. But if it were so, thou shouldest depart from me, for I would not have to do with thee." "No more will I with thee," said Sir Palamedes, "and therefore ride forth on thy way." "As for that, I may choose," said Sir Tristram, "either to ride or to abide. But, Sir Palamedes, I marvel at one thing,- that thou art so good a knight, yet that thou wilt not be christened." "As for that," said Sir Palamedes, "I may not yet be christened, for a vow which I made many years ago; yet in my heart I believe in our Saviour and his mild mother Mary; but I have yet one battle to do, and when that is done I will be christened, with a good will." "By my head," said Sir Tristram, "as for that one battle, thou shalt seek it no longer; for yonder is a knight, whom you have smitten down. Now help me to be clothed in his armor, and I will soon fulfil thy vow." "As ye will," said Sir Palamedes, "so shall it be." So they rode both unto that knight that sat on a bank; and Sir Tristram saluted him, and he full weakly saluted him again. "Sir," said Sir Tristram, "I pray you to lend me your whole armor; for I am unarmed, and I must do battle with this knight." "Sir," said the hurt knight, "you shall have it, with a right good will." Then Sir Tristram unarmed Sir Galleron, for that was the name of the hurt knight, and he as well as he could helped to arm Sir Tristram. Then Sir Tristram mounted upon his own horse, and in his hand he took Sir Galleron's spear. Thereupon Sir Palamedes was ready, and so they came hurtling together, and each smote the other in the midst of their shields. Sir Palamedes' spear broke, and Sir Tristram smote down the horse. Then Sir Palamedes leapt from his horse, and drew out his sword. That saw Sir Tristram, and therewith he alighted and tied his horse to a tree. Then they came together as two wild beasts, lashing the one on the other, and so fought more than two hours; and often Sir Tristram smote such strokes at Sir Palamedes that he made him to kneel, and Sir Palamedes broke away Sir Tristram's shield, and wounded him. Then Sir Tristram was wroth out of measure, and he rushed to Sir Palamedes and wounded him passing sore through the shoulder, and by fortune smote Sir Palamedes' sword out of his hand. And if Sir Palamedes had stooped for his sword, Sir Tristram had slain him.

Fair Isle Scarf Pattern
Would you like to award someone special a knitted rosette? See the pattern to knit one here! Little Squares Scarf, (quick pattern). Jazz up a basic slouchy hat and scarf set with an easy Fair Isle pattern in Spud & Chloe Fine.
Below is an example of a simple Fair Isle pattern worked in two colours of yarn. Not sure what Fair Isle knitting or crocheting is? Check out my post on Fair Isle vs. Intarsia.
Come and see for yourself! Rialto yarns are a pleasure to work with and the scarf is wonderfully soft and warm. I love Fair Isle so much I try to incorporate it in everything.
Pattern Central Anyone know of one? I am wanting to learn and want to start very simple. Thanx You don't need a pattern, necessarily.
Drawstring Bag worked in Fair Isle Stranded Knitting. Mock Crochet – Loomed Stitch; Vyridia Fair Isle Hat; Patterns for Sale.
I think it's partly due to my latest obsession with all things Fair Isle! I'm fairly confident that it matches the movie scarf pattern. Fair Isle (for you non-knitters out there) leaves "float LOTR Home | Sam | Merry | Pippin.
Freshisle Fibers' Thoughts on Hermione's Fair Isle Scarf, Half Blood Prince August 2009 There are four different colour patterns that appear in the scarf. Instructions: Cast on 24 stitches (or desired width of scarf) holding 2 threads together.
Knit Fair Isle patterns or any kind of decorative pattern into scarf. Fairisle Patterns From the Movie Star Wars I think these two would work very well knit sideways in a scarf.
As it is worked mainly in moss stitch this scarf is reversible. Its simple Fair Isle border makes it a good project for those new to this style of knitting.

Juan Antonio Bayona Answers When A Monster Calls
Impossible director handling fantasy adaptation
Though you might think his time would be consumed by work on the World War Z sequel, The Impossible's director Juan Antonio Bayona is focusing instead on a more personal project he's hoping to make before he plunges into the zombie apocalypse. Bayona has set up an adaptation of Patrick Ness' fantasy tale A Monster Calls.
Ness is adapting his own book, which follows a young boy who deals with bullying and his mother's serious illness by retreating into a fantastical world containing fairy tale beasts and other creatures. Bayona has Lionsgate, Focus Features, Participant Media and other companies on board to finance the film, and is aiming at an autumn 2016 release.
"It is an incredible privilege to bring Patrick Ness' exceptional book to the screen and I couldn't have imagined better partners joining me in this endeavour," said Bayona. "After The Orphanage and The Impossible, A Monster Calls is the perfect final chapter in a trilogy centred on the extraordinary strength of the mother-child bond." From the sounds of it, he wants to have the trilogy wrapped up before turning his attention to the horrors of Brad Pitt's battle with the undead.
Ness is popular in Hollywood at the moment: another of his books, Chaos Walking, has Charlie Kaufman working on the adaptation and Robert Zemeckis considering directing it.

Police in Westchester County feel they may have saved the life of Sheila Mara, daughter of late New York Giants owner Wellington Mara, and several others after they arrested her for allegedly driving while intoxicated last weekend.
CBS New York reports that Mara was forced to stop by a squad car shortly after she passed a "do not enter" sign on King Street in Port Chester and promptly collided head-on with a Taxi cab. Authorities say that following the collision, Mara backed up, drove around the Taxi and left the scene.
"It's a recipe for death, not only for her, but for others" Port Chester police Capt. John Tedesco said. "The Merritt late at night is a treacherous road when you've been drinking. Thank God we were able to stop her when we did."
Police allegedly followed her for several miles — speeds never exceeding 45 MPH — but she apparently did not see nor hear the sirens behind her. Once she was finally forced to pull over, right before turning onto Merritt Parkway Entrance, Mara reportedly blew a .22.
Mara has been charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated, driving the wrong way and leaving the scene of an accident.
This is the most recent event in a string of legal troubles for the Mara family. Earlier this month, Stephen Mara, the grandson of Wellington Mara, was arrested for arson in New York City after allegedly setting motorcycles on fire in the Gramercy Park neighborhood. Meanwhile, Jack Mara, nephew of Giants co-owner John Mara, was accused of a vicious New Year's Eve assault in which the victim suffered a fracture skull. However, in early October, Jack was cleared on all charges when new witnesses came forward saying another man had taken responsibility for the attack.

Boise State's famous blue turf will be getting a new look in time for the upcoming season.
Installed in 2008, the current field has created problems for fans and television viewers due to the glare from the fibers in the turf. Starting in June, the project will address those issues and be completed the following month.
"FieldTurf was very understanding of the problem and wanted to make it right," Boise State athletic director Gene Bleymaier said.
The school originally started using blue turf in 1986 and has updated it three times before this summer.

FINANCIAL markets are yet to be convinced the central bank is about to cut the cash interest rate again.
This is despite a roll call of generally disappointing economic data since the turn of the year, benign inflation and little sign of a revival in non-mining parts of the economy.
With just over a week to go before the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) board gathers on February 5 for its first meeting of the year, markets see just a 30 per cent chance of a 25-basis-point cut in the cash rate to a record low 2.75 per cent.
However, this week's quarterly inflation report clearly leaves the door open for a rate cut should the board believe it necessary.
The December quarter consumer price index (CPI) rose by a mere 0.2 per cent, a sharp recoil from the 1.4 per cent jump posted in the September quarter, keeping the annual rate comfortably in the lower half of the RBA's two to three per cent target band at 2.2 per cent.
The underlying measures of inflation, which have a greater influence on interest-rate policy thinking, were also relatively subdued - averaging an annual rate of 2.3 per cent.
In November, the RBA forecast both CPI and underlying inflation at an annual rate of 2.5 per cent.
Whether or not the price data proves the trigger for an imminent rate cut, TD Securities strategist Alvin Pontoh says it confirms the impact of the introduction of federal Labor's carbon tax last July was a fraction of what was feared.
Beyond outsized utility prices hikes in the September quarter - which he estimates added 0.2 per cent points to CPI and an unexpected rise in dwelling purchase costs - "there has been little or no evidence of further pass-through in the December quarter".
Treasury had estimated the CPI would be 0.7 per cent higher in 2012/13, which the RBA assumed would be spread over the three quarters from the July 1, 2012, start date.
"Given what we now know, that impact could be a fraction of what was estimated, potentially foreshadowing a downgrade to the RBA's near-term inflation forecasts," Pontoh says.
Those forecasts will be included in the central bank's next quarterly monetary statement released on February 8.
But Pontoh does not believe it will provide an automatic trigger for a cut in the cash rate, saying the RBA is more likely to sit back and watch how the data unfolds in coming months.
Most of the domestic data released since January 1 would not have captured the impact of the RBA's last interest rate cut in December.
Even so, the results have been fairly unimpressive.
For example, retail spending in November fell by 0.1 per cent, even after the interest rate cut in October, and the unemployment rate rose to 5.4 per cent in December.
While consumer confidence did rise in January, it still only marginally favours optimists over pessimists, despite 175 basis points of official interest rate cuts since November 2011.
Industry surveys this week continued in a similar vein.
Master Builders Australia's (MBA) national survey of building and construction reported a deterioration in sales, profitability and activity in the December quarter, with respondents saying they expect to reduce workforces in the period ahead.
"The Reserve Bank has pointed to the building industry to help boost the non-mining sectors of the economy, but this does not look likely unless macroeconomic policy becomes more accommodating," MBA chief economist Peter Jones said.
Those sentiments were backed by Housing Industry Association (HIA) data revealing residential land sales tumbled 17.8 per cent in the September quarter.
HIA chief economist Harley Dale said this signals a "rocky road" for any home building recovery in 2013.
Separately, the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry's (ACCI) latest business survey showed firms' intentions to invest sank to the lowest level in 15 years against the backdrop of a strong Australian dollar and soft growth in non-mining sectors.
The RBA has been hoping the non-resource industries would take up the slack as the mining and associated investment boom comes off the boil.
"That's not happening at the moment," ACCI chief economist Greg Evans said.
"This builds a strong case for the need for further interest rate cuts."
The managing director of the 1300HomeLoan network, John Kolenda, was more blunt, saying the RBA should cut the cash rate by a full percentage point in the first half of the year, having taken the rate to 4.75 per cent in 2010.
"The high Australian dollar, which has hurt our exporters and the domestic tourism industry, is a legacy of the inept decisions of the RBA," Kolenda says.
Originally published as Benign CPI may not be a rate-cut trigger

The 26-year-old Texan who received the first full-face transplant in the United States two months ago today showed off his new features, and his gratitude to the family of the organ donor.
"There are no words to truly describe the debt of gratitude or love that I have ... for the donor's family," Dallas Wiens of Fort Worth said at a press conference at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, where the transplant occurred. "The choice that they made has in a very real, a very great way, changed my life and my daughter's. So, from the bottom of my heart, and I know from the bottom of hers, we both thank you very much."
Weins lost most of his face and was blinded when his head touched a high-voltage line in November 2008 as he stood in a cherry picker while fixing a window. Initial skin grafts over multiple surgeries gave him a smooth, featureless face before the March transplant. Doctors replaced his missing facial features – from his forehead to his neck – with the face of an unknown donor who had died.

what about the real transports pumping via 10000-10005 ( or 10000-20000 for the insane )
defined in rtp.conf ? don't these need prioriazation even more than the SIP connection
and registration handler ? If memory serves me right these ports are the real workhorses.

Betreff: [m0n0wall] Re: Problem / BUG with Traffic shape?
my suggestion: keep it simple.
keep 2 queues up , 2 queues down
up: 1 queue for voip , the other for everything else
down: 1 queue for voip , the other for everything else
give SIP queues weight 90, other traffic 40
SiP usually uses ports 5060- 5061 , tcp/udp so use this to identify
the sip traffic and put the sip traffic into the voip queues
do not use the masks.
hw much bandwidth do you have?
