Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/6/2013 (1536 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A year ago this weekend, I spent a few days paddling in the Experimental Lakes Area with a trio of friends, two of whom were completely new to backcountry camping.
Before we headed out, the newbies asked logical questions about what sort of gear they would need, what kind of food they would eat and how many hours they could expect to spend in their canoes each day.
But their biggest concern came as a surprise: They were extremely worried about black bears.
"Should we take bear spray?" one asked. The other inquired, jokingly, about taking firearms. Although black bear attacks are uncommon, they were spooked by a couple of high-profile, widely reported incidents.
Living in the city, it's easy to fear bears, which are curious, intelligent and physically powerful creatures. But the reality is we need only to maintain a healthy respect for these animals, which tend to be far more afraid of humans than we could ever be of them.
That's been my experience during several decades worth of paddling and hiking. It's also the opinion of every wildlife expert I've ever interviewed or read.
"In most cases, a bear will run away when encountering a person. In most cases, a bear will hear you or see you and then it's gone before you even know it," said Dean Berezanski, a biologist with Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship's wildlife branch.
While experienced campers know this, it's worth repeating this message over and over to prevent less experienced campers from fretting needlessly about bears -- or making unfortunate decisions.
Earlier this week, RCMP attributed the death of a camper at Namay Falls on the Bloodvein River to the discharge of a weapon by another camper who believed a black bear was in the vicinity. This is a tragic incident and no blame can be ascribed to any of the individuals involved, who deserve nothing but compassion and sympathy.
Nonetheless, the first question on the lips of anyone who's ever paddled in Atikaki Provincial Wilderness Park was why a firearm was present in the first place.
In polar-bear country, it's advisable to travel with at least one person who's trained in the use of a shotgun. In some areas where grizzly bears are present, arguments could be made in favour of taking along a firearm.
But the easiest way to prevent black-bear encounters is to keep a clean campsite and avoid travelling in a stealthy manner that could surprise a bear. Travelling in a group usually creates enough noise to allow any black bear in the vicinity to be aware of your presence and bound away.
The only time I've ever had a problem with a black bear was when I camped near a place notorious for use by car campers, who sometimes leave coolers outside their vehicles at night. In that incident, a bear kept circling my camp and would not leave in spite of repeated efforts to ensure it was aware humans were nearby. The situation was resolved by packing up and moving to another campsite.
Eliminating the potential for contact between people and bears is always the best objective. Other forms of bear deterrence can be considered last resorts.
Bear bangers, such as the pen-launched variety manufactured by Truflare, can actually send a bear scurrying into your camp if you set off the charge in the wrong location. Compressed-air noisemakers such as the Screamer "help alert alarm" are easier to use, but I don't know a soul who can vouch for their effectiveness.
Bear spray, meanwhile, is a weapon of absolutely last resort, useful only against a charging bear -- and certainly not guaranteed to work. In high winds, it's relatively easy to incapacitate yourself with pepper spray. All weapons and noisemakers require testing ahead of time.
If you're going to invest any money in bear deterrence, purchase a food container that seals in odours and it isn't easy to carry off. A hard-plastic barrel with a snap lid is a good choice.
Making your food less accessible to bears also means keeping it away from mice, squirrels, raccoons and foxes, all of which are far more likely to pose a genuine threat to your provisions -- and by extension, your well-being.

PENSIONERS are calling for respect and dignity as part of their new National Dignity Day celebrations.
Bridgwater Baptist Church will play host to a day of music, songs and readings from members of the community on the theme of dignity.
Many pensioners feel that they are not always treated with the dignity and respect they deserve, particularly those in care homes.
The National Pensioners' Convention, who helped to organise the day, has produced a dignity code which Bridgwater Senior Citizens' Forum has asked Sedgemoor District Council to adopt as part of their code of practice for treatment of elderly people.
Music at the event will be provided by the Somerset community choir and the Bridgwater Baptist minister and musician Rosemary Eaton and Wiltshire folk singer Rosie Upton.
Rosie will start the proceedings with a performance of 'A Life Worth Living', a song written by Merseyside pensioner Pete McGovern.
There will also be personal contributions and readings from local people on the meaning and importance of dignity.
The event starts at 2pm on Saturday, February 1. Admission is free and refreshments will be available.

By Dr. Joseph T. Wells, CFE, CPA
It is much more cost-effective to prevent fraud than to punish it. Providing an insider's look into the most prevalent fraud schemes used by employees, owners, managers and executives, this book provides you with a systematic approach to stop fraud before it happens.
In the Corporate Fraud Handbook, Fourth Edition, Wells explores the three main categories of occupational fraud and abuse - asset misappropriation, corruption, and fraudulent statements - and identifies and classifies thirteen separate schemes. Wells also provides an overview of the complex social factors that go into creating an occupational offender, exploring why people do things, and for what reasons. Understanding why employees engage in this behavior is the key to creating ways to prevent it.
The Corporate Fraud Handbook features:
Case studies revealing clear insights into the mind of the fraudulent employee
Statistics from the ACFE's 2012 Report to the Nations showing the average cost and prevalence for each method of fraud
Observations and conclusions in each chapter to guide readers through devising prevention and detection strategies
The fraud tree, a systematic classification of the various types of occupational fraud

Hmmm can't watch the video being mobile odd
Safari can't open this page because its a local file
An the other link
Seriously this is one of the most ugliest tweak i've seen yet. A rare lack of taste. How can you like iOS and ruin it so much. I respect the opinion of people, don't worry, some may find that not ugly, but still, i advise the creator of this tweak to move to android. It's reallly fits people who like such tweaks.
tweaks these days are same , old and ugly. i want a tweak that is useful like... show the time and battery on fullscreen app.
The creator of Cydia is the mastermind behind why all this started the genius of mobile substrate. He is the reason tweaks don't hack up your phone and keep unstable tweaks safe from a bricked phone. Do some research. Mobile substrate is the cure not the problem.
i just summated a Nature bundle if any want it let me know i can give you the link.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
I was lucky enough to attend the Ohio State vs. Nebraska football game at Ohio State last fall. It was a raucous affair in which OSU pounded Nebraska into submission. But that wasn't the best part. The best part was the halftime show by The Best Damn Band In The Land. They showed me something that I knew I needed to share the minute I saw it.
During that halftime show, the OSU band demonstrated what true teamwork looks like and displayed the amazing impact that can be achieved when everyone on the team executes their role flawlessly.
The halftime show was a tribute to video games. The band formed the shape of a horse that was 55 yards long and then set it off galloping. It was nothing short of amazing. Imagine 100,000 people hanging out during halftime enjoying the show, but also chatting with friends and eating hot dogs. All of a sudden, the horse takes form and people applaud. Then it starts galloping. The place went absolutely insane. And when the horse reared up on its hind legs, you would have thought OSU just won the national championship.
This was teamwork art in action. You can learn a few things as a leader from their performance:
Dare to dream big. The band leaders had a big dream for this show. They set out audacious goals to do things that hadn't been done before. Imagine the conversation in the band room: "Hey! I know! Let's make a giant horse! And better yet…LET'S MAKE IT RUN DOWN THE FIELD!" Talk about giving your team something to rally behind! Set audacious goals for your team. Dare to be great and try new things. You'll never amaze anyone with your little incremental ideas.
Execute small but paint a big picture. When you look at the guidance each band member received, it was likely small and tactical. Walk here. Turn there. Play this sequence of notes. Duck under the trombone slide. Tons and tons of small steps targeted at an individual team member. Multiply that by the dozens of members of the team and you have a bunch of small steps that have to be remembered and flawlessly executed by a large number of people (sorta like your organization, right?).
What was different here is EVERY member of that band knows how they contribute to the big picture and what that big picture looks like. I'm sure they were provided with a detailed description of what they were building toward and they were able to make the connection between their hundreds of steps, turns, notes and movements and the broader horse galloping down the field. When people understand their role in the big picture, you're able to gain their commitment to executing their steps of the process properly. They understand that if they fail, the whole organization fails. Absent that big picture, missing a step or a note doesn't seem as important in their minds. Paint that big picture to get them bought in to execute flawlessly.
Train. Train. Train. I guarantee they didn't make that horse gallop on the first try. More likely, they created a horse that should have been sent to the glue factory. That said, it's easy to see they put in countless hours training for the big show. Their leadership was relentless in pushing the team to perform perfectly but at the same time kept the team's motivation up by reminding them of their role in the big picture. That big picture also created peer pressure to perform because the team members felt accountable to one another to not screw up. Don't be afraid to put your team through their paces and make them train hard for the big events.
Shine the spotlight on them. At the end of the performance, all the cheers were for the team. No leaders stepped forward to claim credit or bask in the glory of the performance. It was clear all the shouting and applause was for every individual walking on that field. When your team succeeds, try stepping back from the spotlight and push them forward. Give them the credit they deserve and deflect credit that comes your way onto them. Nothing builds loyalty more than a leader who is willing to put their team first. Remember that the next time your team is wildly successful in their endeavors.

Is Google destined to follow in Yahoo!'s footsteps?

Well with the success of Yahoo's mobile eco-system system, numerous patents and other products... oh wait...
That's right, Google is the one trying to diversify and Yahoo isn't (didn't)...
10. bobfreking55 (Posts: 866; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
after all, Google has Android which will replace desktops in no time. Google Now and even Android itself will evolve and innovate further into hybrids too - like Windows 8.
Bing sucks anyway, Yahoo is sinking and there is no way that the world will turn to Siri.

exactly google is way past the search engine phase, it has mobile ecosystem, services, maps, an OS, now phones, project glass...and it'll keep growing
20. someones4 (Posts: 625; Member since: 16 Sep 2012)
Agreed. Search engines will be relevant but won't be Google's only main feature in the future. The only other search engine that may have chance is Bing. Imagine an Apple search engine. It'll be as hilarious as their maps.

Google is versatile innovator as compared to Yahoo,Apple,Microsoft.

I would suggest that Google needs to address the issue of ad placement that seems to be the complaint voiced by advertisers. Revising the placement issue would seem to be something that occurs in a future release of the OS.

There might be a grain of truth in this. After all personally I do not use any Google product for over two years now. I most often use Bing as a search engine and very occasionally Google. There are too many ads in Google and the results in Bing and Yahoo are better as well.
14. nyuvo (Posts: 72; Member since: 10 May 2012)
No google product at all for two years?? So you have not used:
Google maps
Google chrome browser
Scholar (if you are a student this is amazing)
And the whole lot of other useful things that they provide.
Seriously, you don't use youtube? even my parents use youtube.

9. cso26 (Posts: 10; Member since: 01 Aug 2012)
oh wait!!! still my homepage is google.
11. TheRetroReplay (Posts: 254; Member since: 20 Mar 2012)
Google isn't going to follow in Yahoo!'s footsteps. Yahoo! was good until they sold out, putting annoying advertisments on every page, coming no where close in search results and started selling people's email addresses to any spammer that wanted them.
I have an old Yahoo! email that I never gave out to anyone or gave to any site and it got so much spam and their spam filters don't work.
And by using that analysts own logic, Microsoft will do the same with Bing and if Apple goes into the search business (I doubt they will after the failure of Ping) they would do the same.
Additionally, Yahoo! only did what they did because they were losing to Google and wanted to stay afloat. Google has plenty of other services in which they make money from, like YouTube and Blogger.
I want to slap all these analysts because the second a company's revenue dips just a bit they immediately start saying that a company is going to fail. Every company has a time of the year where they didn't make that much money as the other times. But that idea seems to fly right over the head of the analysts.
15. someones4 (Posts: 625; Member since: 16 Sep 2012)
impossible..Google is the most diverse company apart from samsung, lg or berkshire hathaway. Google will not fall. besides, if they don't use the best, what other choices do they have?
16. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Google just broke the revenues record in the last report.
And while their advert revenues may go down, it's clear they are making more money overall.
The decrease in profit was caused by Motorola layoffs and 550m of additional loss that Motorola made

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/5/2013 (1569 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Jennifer, a woman who permitted me to use her first name only, began her email with these words.
"I am crying and shaking."
The 39-year-old mother of two youngsters went on to explain she had read Thursday's column.
"Eight times," she would say later when I reached her at her home on the river side of north Main Street.
Each time Jennifer reread the column, she became emotional. The column (A lesson in kindness from story of cruelty) told of how a nine-year-old girl had seen two women, both wearing hoodies over their heads, place a box in the river.
The box contained a puppy.
As it turned out, the puppy had been strangled with a shoelace.
Jennifer said she was one of the hoody-wearing women.
There were those who read the column and at once assumed the two women were responsible for the inhumane killing of the puppy the little girl -- and, soon after, five of her young girlfriends -- came upon two Saturdays ago.
But Jennifer and her friend had nothing to do with the puppy's death; the two women are as innocent as that puppy.
So what made Jennifer so emotional? The same thing that caused a similar reaction from a different passerby that day.
Louise Thiessen wept after she came upon the little girl standing by the river's edge, trying to fetch the box out of the water.
They both wept for the children.
"I am thinking about the little girl that found the puppy," Jennifer wrote as she shook and wept.
It went deeper than that, though.
As did the rest of the story.
Jennifer went on to explain what happened -- what she and her friend did and why they did it. She and her two boys, aged 11 and three, had been out for a walk to St. John's Park with a girlfriend who also had two youngsters.
It was Jennifer who noticed the box by the river and the puppy's head poking out.
"My gut said, 'You know you don't want to see what's in there.' My head said, 'You don't want a kid to find this.' "
Jennifer is a dog lover -- "a huge one" -- and she didn't want to go closer.
"I called my friend over to please look."
Her friend looked.
Then she and Jennifer told their children to stay back. Later, over the phone, Jennifer would explain that, normally, she wants her 11-year-old son to understand the reality of living in their neighbourhood, across north Main Street from gang turf, so that his instincts for who and what is safe in this world are honed for his own protection.
But she couldn't let her older son, or other children, see what someone had done to an eight-week-old dog.
"In our state of shock, we figured the best thing was to put it in the river and the box would soak up water and take the poor soul under. It was not an easy decision but we felt it was best at the time, so no children would find it and we could spare our children from seeing such cruelty."
But after they walked on, six other children would come upon the strangled puppy in the box. And that is what is torturing Jennifer now.
Thiessen had taken the puppy, and the little girls, back to her front yard, placed evergreen bows over the box, and called Animal Services.
Normally, Jennifer would have done something similar. She would have closed the lid on the box and taken it home to bury in her animal cemetery of a backyard, where all manner of creatures, from goldfish to rabbits that have been hit by cars, are buried. That's the cruel irony of it.
How many of us show such compassion to roadkill?
Jennifer had told a neighbour about what happened and how conflicted she felt, and it was the neighbour who originally read the column and alerted her to it.
"Now that I'm home and 'NOT so shocked' anymore," Jennifer wrote five days after the event, "I wish we HAD taken it home to bury it."
With that, Jennifer closed her email by explaining why she had been compelled to write to me.
"I needed to tell you the beginning of the story so that the little girl didn't think that we, also, were bad people. She should know that we are good people and did what we felt best at the time. She should know that we were TRYING to spare her and any other children from seeing that."
It was Thiessen who gave six little girls a lesson in kindness, but it was Jennifer and her friend who provided all of us with another lesson.
About how quickly we tend to judge and convict others.
And how wrong we can be.

The world had changed dramatically for the heroes. The highest ranking member of the Inner Circle for the Hellfire Club had climbed into Presidency almost over night. Every hero was crowned an enemy of the state and hunted down like dogs. But then something unexpected happened and the new President cleared them of all charges, placing the entire blame on one of his own known as Aztek. The Hellfire Club was reeling still as another one of their members betrayed them and sent vital information to Andy. Information that could still place the HFC to the events that had happened. being freed of charges already Andy had sat on the information and waited until a time came where he could use it and bring them down to their knees. However there was more important things to attend to first, or at least to him.
Two months had passed since he asked the girl of his dreams to marry him. When she had said Yes his world became happier. Nothing else mattered to him because he had her, the woman who made him whole, his heart. The passing days were filled with joy and love, he would surprise her with flowers at the shop and romantic dates by candlelight. Her house would be filled with rose peddles and exotic scents when she came home. Everything was going great and he felt like the luckiest man in the entire world.
Two more months had passed and they had set a date for the wedding. Invitations were sent out across the world. Members of WAL, Angels and Demon, Mobb Deep, customers of the Nine Lives were all invited. Personal invites were sent to close friends and family. They were a happy couple and wanted everyone to share in their happiness on their special day. Andy had already moved to New York by the time, leaving Texas behind for her, but he still carried his southern draw and cowboy hat. He had struck a deal with S.H.I.E.L.D as a way to pay bills and with that hey provided him with newer weapons, and a healthy paycheck. Each day at closing he would stop by the coffee shop to help her and Chris close up, making sure to call any night he would not be able to make it.
SHIELD had sent him on a number of missions over the next two more months. He longed for her more and more as the time passed. Not being able to hold her in his arms every day took a toll on him and he longed for his trips home to wrap her up in his strong arms. Squeezing her tightly as he lifted her up and off her toes into his waiting lips for a kiss. He knew she worried but the world needed hero more now than ever with Gambler running things. No longer pulling strings behind the scenes he was up front and in charge of the entire U.S.A as well as many other nations army's.
It had been 4 months since she told him Yes, and their wedding was now fast approaching, just around the corner. He was excited, nervous, and overjoyed, soon everything would be perfect in his life.
But things change.....

More Evidence That Science is Still Clueless About Global Climate Controls
Levi Beckerson
January 8, 2010 7:34 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
For all we know, Al Bundy's socks may be the cure for the global climate crisis.
Will the war for global warming ever be won? That depends on the amount of information we can harvest, analyze and extrapolate from. In all likelihood, the only way we will know for certain if the Earth is heading for a global warming disaster is by waiting another few thousand years and looking at history books.
But, for those not comfortable with the wait and see approach, scientists continue to plunge into one of the crucial factors thought to govern global (I'm trying not to snicker) climate change, the global carbon sink system. Roughly composed of just about every living and even more dead things, these parts of local, regional and whole-Earth ecosystems are under high scrutiny as researchers try to understand how present day climate change will further affect future climate change. The popular idea seems to be that global warming is like a snowball rolling downhill – as it rolls it picks up more snow and eventually hits something and explodes. Exploding is bad for the Earth, honest.
From the University of Colorado at Boulder comes a study supporting the theory that extended growing seasons may not be the boon for the carbon sink that many have previously thought. At least not for subalpine conifers such as the lodgepole pine, subalpine fir and Englemann spruce. It turns out these trees depend much more upon snowmelt for their summer water fix than rainfall, and in years where spring comes early due to mild winters and low snowfall,
the trees actually take in less carbon dioxide
over the year than when spring arrives late with heavy snow still on the ground. Up to 60% of their internal water supply from stems and needles was identified to be from spring snowmelt rather than rainfall in the fall months. We can thank our friends the hydrogen and oxygen atoms for this precise identification work.
Since around 70% of the western USA's carbon sink is found in these subalpine forest ranges, watching the snow caps shrink yearly would definitely affect their ability to operate to capacity, should this study be accurate. Facts don't lie; snow good, carbon dioxide bad.
On a somewhat brighter note, according to researchers at the National Oceanographic Center, Southampton, another very large and poorly understood carbon sink may be completely underestimated in present carbon cycle models. Echinoderms, which comprise a vast portion of the ocean's calcium carbonate dump,
may sequester much more carbon yearly than previously thought
Echinoderms suck in carbon from seawater to form their skeletal systems and include such happy marine animals as star fish, sea urchins and sea cucumbers. When these animals find the end of their lifecycle, they typically sink to the ocean floor with their captured carbon and become indefinitely buried in the sediments. Some of the calcium carbonate finds its way back up the "biological carbon pump," but probably much less than is taken down to the depths.
This could mean that the ocean is once again showing itself to be far more excellent at helping regulate global carbon levels, or it could just mean scientists still don't really understand what's going on in there.
If these studies only prove one thing it is that we, as a global community, race, organism and observer still have very little understanding in the way all of our ecosystems work together to regulate the Earth's climate. It's far too early for any sane person to jump on the "we're melting, melting" or "Minnesota never left the ice age, what's your problem" camps. There simply aren't enough data to concretely support any given theory with certainty and these kinds of discoveries are shining examples of why.

For a little over a year now, Tom Whalen has been Mondo's go-to artist for contemporary movie posters of classic cartoons. Mondo, of course, is the Austin-based gig-style movie-poster publisher whose limited edition screenprints generally sell out within minutes of being offered online—these guys are literally printing money. Whalen, whose work can be seen at strongstuff.net, is the son of the Pennsylvania coal country, a working stiff who still holds a day job as an editorial illustrator for a medical publisher.
On Saturday March 10, Mondo will release "Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2th Century," its first Looney Tunes print. In another first, the print will be part of Mondo's debut exhibition in its new gallery space at 4115 Guadalupe Street in Austin. The theme is Science Fiction, and there will be almost 40 pieces of original art and screenprints from more than 30 artists, including Whalen's "Duck Dodgers." Hours for the opening are 6-10pm.
Naturally, Whalen was tapped to come up with the image, probably because he's been creating cartoon posters for Mondo since February of 2011, when the company's first Disney piece was released. That largely black, white and silver screenprint imagined a poster for the 1928 Disney short "Steamboat Willie." Printed by DL Screenprinting in Seattle, "Steamboat Willie" was published in an edition of 200, plus a variant of 60 that swapped silver for sepia, among other minor changes. We hear the edition size of the seven-color "Duck Dodgers" will be 320, and the price will be $40. Read the rest

- Westfield Police Explorer Post 711
Reject the Boy Scouts of America's anti-gay policy
We, the Scouts and community members of Westfield Police Explorer Post 711 urge you to reject the Boy Scouts of America's anti-gay policy.
Among service organizations, the Boy Scouts are increasingly isolating themselves with their discriminatory policy. Organizations including the Girl Scouts, the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, as well as the 4H Club all welcome gay kids as well as adult leaders.
We love the Boy Scouts, but we can't support this policy. That's why we urge you to speak out against the ban on gay Scouts and leaders and adopt an inclusive policy like other troops, packs, councils, and lodges across the country have done -- so the Boy Scouts can maintain its relevancy, improve recruitment, and truly live by the principles it teaches its members.
NOTE: We encourage everyone to join this campaign, but if you're a current or former Scout or leader, please say so in the "Why People Are Signing" section. Thanks!

Heading into this year's Grant County High School Lady Braves Softball Classic, Marlin Gregg was hopeful his team would be competitive.
The GCHS softball coach got his wish, as the Lady Braves went 1-2 in the tournament and one of the loses came in extra innings.
"I was proud of the way our team played. I saw a lot of bright spots. The teams were very competitive. Our team becomes a little better each week. I am proud of the girls that are committed to hard work and sacrifice for the betterment of the team. That alone makes them winners on and off the field," Gregg said.

Lindsay Lohan drunk and coked up during crash
Lindsay Lohan was allegedly drunk and had cocaine in her system during the incident when she crashed her car in Beverly Hills over Memorial Day weekend. According to law enforcement sources, toxicology reports show Lindsay had "nearly twice the legal limit" of alcohol and traces of cocaine in her bloodstream when she crashed her Mercedes.
My God, she was drunk? And she had cocaine in her system? No, no, no, this isn't right at all. That doesn't sound like Lindsay Loh– oh wait, Lindsay Lohan. Right. I thought we were talking about that baby in the Pampers commercial.
Pictured: Lindsay leaving rehab to take a hike with some trainers. Check out this guy's face if you want to feel pretty good about yourself.

Though I am not a big fan of reusing reality stars, at least they picked someone likeable. I think Rudy and Richard would be fun to watch.Originally Posted by Sonic-TARmaniac
BTW Maybe this thread should be in spoiler tags.
Added spolier tag.
I think Rob & Amber being on TAR6 would increase viewership more than those two. However alot of more people saw Season 1 than All-Stars, so CBS probably knows what it is doing.
If they put the premiere after a survivor episode, that would help alot more.
when I read Richard Hatch, I couldn't help but picture them somewhere in some exotic place, and Hatch stripping off to do the roadblock or something
Back to the topic, I don't mind seeing those two, but do I think they'll go far? Nope.. imo
boo hiss

Please ... NO more cross-overs! There are plenty of people out there that would make great racers ... CBS does not need to start recycling more of their reality TV veterans! :nono
Ugh, I really hope this isn't true.
Just select regular members of the public that apply in their thousands.
"That's Numberwang!"
I think Rob and Amber would pull a lot more people and Rich and Rudy. R/A are still in the news ( there were a short piece in last weeks People ). I'm sure CBS are hoping/praying to televise the wedding.Originally Posted by Sonic-TARmaniac
What if the entire show was teams were re-hashed reality contestants, and no normal people? That might actually be interesting, instead of them competing alongside normal people.

|Jon Bannenberg: 1929-2002
Part 3: "Jon did not follow trends, he set them."
By Diane M. Byrne — August 2002
The design studio Bannenberg founded is continuing operation under the direction of his son Dickie, who worked alongside his father on a few recent projects, including the just-delivered "Project B" (the owner wishes to keep the name anonymous) from Benetti. Her oval windows--seven on each side of the main deck, plus two to port and three to starboard of the bridge deck--lend her an unmistakable Bannenberg pedigree.
It's dispiriting that Bannenberg didn't live long enough to see the completion of Mercedes III, a 185-footer for a repeat client that's set for delivery next summer at Oceanfast, since Bannenberg is largely credited with putting the Australian yard on the yachting map. Oceanfast and Bannenberg had collaborated on 16 previous launches, including Thunder A in 1998 and, not coincidentally, Mercedes II in 1996, both of which garnered Superyacht Society design awards. "He was always striving for better, more innovative ways of achieving that unique, understated elegance and opulence which became his trademark," says Oceanfast chairman John Rothwell. "Jon did not follow trends, he set them."
Mark Masciarotte, president of the Superyacht Society, which bestowed Bannenberg with its Leadership Award in 1997, agrees: "He introduced design concepts that although, at times, baffled the naval architects whose responsibility it was to find solutions, resulted in stunning, ground-breaking creations."
In addressing Malcolm Forbes and the rest of the gathered crowd at the christening of The Highlander, Bannenberg revealed--perhaps unknowingly--why he'd gained a reputation as one of the true gentlemen of the yacht business: "If it weren't for owners wanting to build, none of us would be here today. It's a very important thing--never to be forgotten--that all of these wonderful things we have done start with one person's imagination. Great honor to be involved with your imagination, Malcolm."
No, Jon. The honor was ours.

Delicious Desserts
Strawberry Cookies for Spring
Two recipes to try
-Greg Johnson, oatmealcookieguy.com
It's strawberry season! To celebrate, I've come up with a cookie recipe – and two variations – that capture the flavor of spring.
The base recipe is eggless and uses strawberries in three forms-cooked, fresh and dehydrated – and use also incorporates the truly complimentary flavors of vanilla and lemon. But what really elevates these tasty cookies to the heights of deliciousness is the addition of white chocolate chips for my XXX Strawberry Cookie variation or dark chocolate chips for my Neapolitan Cookie variation.
The strawberries cooked with lemon juice and zest have a fresh, bright flavor that's the perfect background for the sweetness of the fresh and dehydrated strawberries. The ground-up Nilla Wafers lend a light vanilla-y note. A final roll in turbinado sugar before baking gives the cookies a crunchy exterior that contrasts the moist, chewy interior.
In the XXX Strawberry Cookie, the white chocolate chips provide just the right touch of richness. And The dark chocolate chips in the Neapolitan Cookies bring that little something extra-something exotic-to elevate these above the everyday. (And who ever complained about pairing strawberries with chocolate?)
Makes 3 dozen cookies.
1 stick butter
1 cup dark brown sugar
Wet Ingredients
1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Dry Ingredients
2 cups oatmeal
1 cup finely ground Nilla Wafer cookies
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup dehydrated strawberries
1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries
1/2 cup white chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Turbinado sugar
1. In a small saucepan, heat strawberries, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and white sugar over medium high heat. Stir with a wooden spoon, crushing the strawberries until the mixture is smooth and evenly red.
2. Remove strawberry mixture from the heat and set aside to cool until Step 5.
3. Preheat oven to 350º.
4. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the creamables.
5. Add vanilla to the cooled strawberry mixture. Whisk together until smooth.
6. Add the combined wet ingredients to the creamables. Mix together until well incorporated.
7. In a large mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, fold together until evenly distributed.
8. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the combined creamables and wet ingredients. Mix until evenly combined.
9. Shape dough into balls–about 2 tablespoons each.
10. Roll each cookie dough ball in turbinado sugar.
11. Place the sugared dough balls about 2 inches apart on Silpat- or parchment paper-lined cookie sheets.
12. Bake at 350º for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and the tops are firm to the touch. Remove the cookie sheets from the oven and let stand for 2 minutes. Then place cookies on wire racks to cool.

Devil is in the details 12-01-2016
I tried on Volcom snow pants at a local store so felt confident in ordering a similar style online. These have a great fabric feel and fit my curvy frame pretty well.
However, there are still several details I am wishing were different:
1) These are extremely long. For a large size, They are about 6 inches too long for my 5'5" frame (short legs, long torso). Most companies think large size = tall person so I was prepared for this.
2) Zip to Jacket feature : seems nice to prevent the horrid snow-down-the-backside but you would have to have a jacket that is compatible. I have a 2015/16 Volcom women's coat that doesn't have the zipper to match - so which style works with this exactly?
3) The vents on the inside of the thighs are poorly constructed. They put a decent sized zipper pull on each vent. The direction of the zipper goes UP and they end at the top of the inner thigh. That means any female who doesn't have a "thigh gap" would have the zipper pulls rub together. I know over time they will break. For comparison, I took out my very old snow pants from another popular brand and the zippers pulled toward the knees with the pull tab sitting by your knees and not your inner thighs. An interesting detail Volcom hasn't figured out yet. Never had this problem before and have been snowboarding for almost two decades. Volcom, please change the direction of the thigh zipper vent!
I still gave three stars as I like the fabric and the feel. The stretch is nice and I'm hopeful that the 15k waterproof holds up for the price. Here's to hoping!
Great Snowboard Pants! 10-19-2016
I got the purple color in a size xs (i'm 5'5" and 112 lbs) - they leave a little room in case I want to put long underwear on underneath. Otherwise, they fit great! Really like the color and excited to put them to use!


text: omkar 119 Report post Posted December 29, 2012 I have successfully compiled Angelscript with max portability mode on flascc (new flash c++ compiler) and everything works fine but when i compile anything in Angelscript using build command it takes 6+ sec to compile even if that code is just of 4 lines. This problem stops flash's swf file from executing further giving error in debug mode that script is executing for long time, If i load byte code i get error saying stack recalculation required (this error is only in flascc compiled code not in windows or android). There is one last thing that native Calling Conventions work for SetMessageCallback so i think it means all library doesn't need to be compiled with max portability mode, I didn't tried this yet but will see later. So if someone knows why build takes so long time please tell me and i think its good idea to add official support for flascc as it only requires makefile from gnuc folder to compile thought there is configuration for this compiler in config file. using Angelscript version : 22401 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, I just got done throwing with Geoseth in the field.
Just to give a little background, I just had the first round of steroid shots in my back last Friday (with two more left tomorrow and next Friday). I have a bulged disc in my second lumbar vertebrate that is pinching a nerve down into my right butt cheek down to my leg. I have been forced to reduce my body effort significantly and focus on perfect wrist technique to keep from the pinched nerve taking me to my knees. Basically, throwing with a ton of wrist extension, even to the point of feeling ridiculous (even though it is not).
Seth had kind of hit a wall and I talked him into making drastic changes in his throwing technique. We started last week with a a program of radical wrist extension (compared to what we had both been doing before).
Anyway, I will reserve comment until I more sure of the findings, but I have to say that we saw some significant gains today from both us.
Me (throwing all wrist focus)
Rocs 350 on a 20 foot line drive consistently.
Star TB and Eagle 375 to 390
Wraith 450
Rocs 340 (I have never seen Seth throw mids like this)
Star TB 360
Wraith and Max nearly 400
I would say that Seth has picked up maybe 50 feet since we started two weeks ago. Lots of nose down, hit focus, finish power, and reduction of wobble.
Sadly, I have not gained from my healthy distances, but considering the state of my back I would say I have gained something out of this. I am actually decelerating as fast as possible after the hit to keep my follow throw short to keep from torquing my back.
These are stepped off and averaged distances on flat ground into a slight right to left headwind. Not Internet distances or guesses. These are golf throws not distance lines.
Some people will say "eh, so what", but I have to say I am very pleased with the results. I can say that having a hurt back has forced my to explore the more esoteric hit theories promoted by Blake. All I can say is that I wish I had learned this first, before I ever learned to throw. I probably would have never strained my back in the first place.

|The Las Vegas Adobe User Group hosted a "Neon Photowalk" in the Fremont Street district (Old Vegas) — Sunday, Oct 21st, 2012, from 4-10pm. This was a FREE event for all levels of photographers from pros to iPhone/iPad users. We also had lots of Adobians from out of town (Los Angeles, Florida, San Jose, San Diego, etc) as well as some new friends from the Sin City Photography Group. And that was the main purpose of the Photowalk: community building between two very different communities.There were over 120 signups to the event; but, we kicked things off with over 60 shutter snappers at Emergency Arts – "The Beat" coffee shop. As it turned out, some of the Beat employees were also lovers of the luminous lights. One employee had already been photographing hundreds of Vegas neon signs for his own art-piece which he presented me a copy which was very cool!
The Beat has definitely got an artistic vibe to it and the Photowalk organizers were so pleased that they allowed us to set up camp there. While onsite, we also conducted few drawings for Adobe Software, T-shirts, and a special drawing for a WACOM tablet (Thanks to Tony Arredondo –WACOM Technology & Stephen Burns). Those in attendance also got a free beverage courtesy of Adobe. With maps in hand, the Photowalkers sallied forth in their quest for best Neon Photo and a chance to win (CS6 Photoshop Extended).
One of our favorite stops was the Neonopolis courtyard and some of us spent a lot of time at this location. At NeonoPolis, Adobe Community Professional Stephen Burns gave lessons to about a dozen Photowalkers on color extractions using timed exposures and also a nifty click and drag technique which produced some interesting abstract neon photos. Here's one:

|As with anything we do with Adobe Community Events we try to capture some data on how the event went down. From the number of signups to the pageviews we try to gage how we will promote the next events. We had a slow start to the promotion of the event, but things ramped up quickly the last 72 hrs before the event as evidence from these EventBrite charts.

Fox Lane junior stitches together his own course of study
It was the ultimate throwaway assignment, but it led Conner Ives to what he hopes will be a long career.
When Ives was a freshman, the art department at Fox Lane High School held a "Trashing Competition," a challenge where students had to make a dress out of items from the trash. Ives took the lead as he and three other students created a gown from a garbage bag and bubble wrap.
Teacher Lindsay Lappin remembers standing around their creation with her colleagues.
"This thing was so far above and beyond what anybody else did," she recalls. "We were doing it for kicks and he produces this beautiful dress! It was one of those situations where the art teachers were like 'Who is this kid?' Two years later, here we are."
Lappin is in the art gallery at the Bedford high school, where Ives has displayed some of his creations for a visitor.
There's the hand-stitched "Dress N°. 1, 2012," ("like Chanel N°. 5," the 16-year-old junior says), a mesh base appliquéd with bits of lace from a tablecloth, vintage French lace, swatches of crochet from his grandmother's collection and long-flowing strands of pale horse hair. Some of the horse hair has been braided atop the right shoulder. All of the appliqué elements were stitched by hand, including a form-fitting headdress that attaches to the dress to form one continuous line.
"This piece was inspired by the writings of Elie Wiesel and his stories of the Holocaust and then it tied into the heritage and your past and then it accumulated into this one master piece: combining the heritage of the cloths and the torn and re-sewn idea of rebirth. And the horse hair gave it sort of a ghostly feel, with translucent material that isn't used a lot in fashion. I like to use unusual materials," Ives says.
As if to prove the point, he strolls over to his eye-popping "Macnamay Dress." Named for his maternal great grandmother, it has the look of a bygone age but is another trash-to-treasure piece — with a train made from 2,500 coffee filters hand-dipped in coffee and a bodice covered in hundreds of paper doilies painted with coffee.
In the corner is Ives' most-recent work, "The Yoshizawa Dress" ("I came up with the name last period," he says with a laugh), a tribute to Japanese origami master Akira Yoshizawa, a form-fitting mesh dress that is covered in delicately folded recycled paper, sometimes cranes, sometimes other figures.
"Yoshizawa would use origami and make it much more expressive, a real pioneer," he says. "Eventually, this dress will be covered in other origami pieces."
This work-in-progress marks the start of an ambitious year ahead for Ives, whose father, the Rev. Dr. Tim Ives, leads the Scarborough Presbyterian Church and whose mother, Dr. Ann Guerra, has a pediatric dental practice in Briarcliff.
The junior convinced a Fox Lane board to grant him a year of independent study, during which he'll work with Lappin as his mentor, charting his design process, even as he learns it. Lappin — whose background is art, not fashion — says she and Ives will be learning side-by-side, but it is her job to keep him on task, to challenge his process, to make him defend his choices.
Having taken some classes at the Fashion Institute of Technology to give him the basic tools of the trade, Ives spent a week last summer at London's prestigious Central St. Martins College of Art and Design, the school that turned out fashion icons Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen. He came back driven to apply himself to the goal of attending the school, but without a high-school course to channel his ambition.
"We kept trying to find a place for him in our courses for this year," Lappin says. "He's aspiring to go to this prestigious school and we wanted to match our curriculum to support him the best we could, but we don't offer fashion courses here. He was going to take an advanced studio art course that we would modify for him, but that didn't fit his schedule. Over the summer, he emailed me and suggested we try an independent study."
Getting an independent study isn't easy at Fox Lane. It requires the green-light from assistant principal Robin Schamberg and a board of teachers and counselors. In October, he made his pitch, "Fashion Design: From Concept to Garment." He showed a portfolio slide show, explained his week-long course at Central St. Martins, and asked the board to place their faith in him as he would document the process of creating four designs this school year. They bought it.
If Ives hadn't gotten the green-light, he would have had a free ninth period. Now, he'll have anything but a free ninth period.
This year will be about the process, charted in a sketchbook, where ideas are begun, refined and completed.
"It'll be a lot of me floating all these ideas and Ms. Lappin helping me figure out a way through all of it," Ives says.
"His ideas get to be so big, they sometimes outrun the process," Lappin says. "There's a lot of reining it in. 'OK, that's a fantastic idea. Document it. But we have to get back to the original idea and move on.' Otherwise, there's a middle part of the process that gets lost. Central St. Martins wants to see the process, every step of the way.
"His aspiration is high, but I honestly feel that, 10 and 20 years from now, Conner is going to be one of our alumni that we are praising, who has followed their passion and gotten somewhere."
One of Ives' biggest struggles has been to find a structured time in the day for fashion. With this year's independent study, Fox Lane has made fashion, his passion, a part of his school day.
In a bit of role reversal that Ives talks about with an ever-present gentle smile, Ives mentions that his sister Abbie, a Fox Lane freshman, likes to play hockey, while he likes to design dresses.
"It's not often that I have a student who so clearly knows this is what they want to do," says Lappin. "You have students who may say 'I'm thinking about doing this,' but two weeks later they're on to something else. Conner doesn't waver. He knows this is exactly where he wants to do."

Balance Beams 2Math brain teasers require computations to solve.
Two beams (rows of numbers) are given below. The first beam has a sum of 17; the second beam has a sum of 22. Your challenge is to balance the beams, so that the two rows have the same sum. You are only allowed to move two numbers; all of the numbers must be used in the answer.
1 2 5 9
3 4 7 8
HintThe sum of all the numbers is odd.
One of the numbers must be moved in a tricky way to make a larger number.
AnswerMove the 1 to the bottom row, placing it immediately to the left of the 3, making a 13.
Move the 8 to the top row. Both beams now have a sum of 24.
8 2 5 9
13 4 7

A farmers' market which was set up just over a year ago has been commended in a national food award.
Horsforth Farmers' Market was picked out for the honour in the Market Category of the Farm Shop & Deli Awards from nearly 300 entries across the country. Thousands of public votes were cast in the awards.
The market's secretary, Graham Fergusson, said: "We have been running for just over a year now and are thrilled with the market's popularity and the lovely community atmosphere it generates."
The awards, in partnership with Olives Et Al, recognise the best standards in speciality retail and celebrate the highest levels of service, product knowledge, initiative, innovation and community involvement. Judge Neil Nugent, executive chef and head of product development at Morrisons said: "The awards are a brilliant opportunity for the UK's small independent businesses like Horsforth Farmers' Market to get recognition nationally and enable them to become a destination."
The market takes place from 9am to 12.30pm on the first Saturday of each month at St Margaret's school car park. The event this weekend will include a free bouncy castle.
