Michael Kors two-tone ruffled dress perfect for summer fun
What: Michael Kors two-tone ruffled dress
Where: Michael Kors (various locations)
Price Tag: $175
Why: One of the best things about summer is the beautiful dresses that become available. They're easy to wear, look pretty, and are a refreshing change from winter's dark basics. I love this printed blouson dress with bishop sleeves and a pleated skirt. The peasant-style top has a split neckline and long ties, and the flirty A-line skirt is cinched at the waist so there's no need for a belt. The island-blue and black print has summertime fun written all over it. Wear it festival-style with a denim jacket, suede fringed booties, and a loose braid or dress it up for work with a structured blazer, strappy wedge sandals, and a messy topknot.

Listed below are some of the rivals of the Canon Digital IXUS 95 IS.
Canon Digital IXUS 100 IS

Available in black, red, silver or gold, the Canon IXUS 100 IS point-and-shoot camera sports a 3x zoom lens, 12 megapixel sensor and the ability to record 720p HD movies.

Read our in-depth review to find out if the IXUS 990 IS / SD970 IS offers enough to justify its $379.99 / £379.00 / €449.00 price tag...
Casio EX-FS10
The Casio EX-FS10 is a new super-slim, super-fast compact digital camera. Measuring just 16.4mm deep and capable of taking 30 six megapixel images in one second, the EXFS10 is much more than just another run-of-the-mill pocket digicam. The 9 megapixel Casio FS10 has a 2.5 inch LCD screen and 3x optical zoom lens and can shoot both 720p HD and 1000fps super-slow-motion movies. Retailing for $349.99 / £299.99 and available in blue, gray, red and white, find out if the Casio EX-FS10 is all speed and no substance by reading our expert review.

The new Casio EX-FC100 is the fastest digital camera in town, capable of taking 30 six megapixel images in just a single second. The diminutive, well-built EXFC100 has a wealth of high-speed modes, including pre-recording images before you've even pressed the shutter button, and combining images to help eliminate camera shake in low light conditions. Video is also one of the Casio EX FC100's strong points, with 720p HD footage and 1000fps, super-slow-motion movies on offer. This 9 megapixel model is also a very capable still camera, with a 2.7 inch LCD screen and 5x optical zoom lens.

Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR
The Fujifilm Finepix F200EXR is potentially one of the most revolutionary cameras of 2009. It features Fujifilm's innocuous sounding EXR technology, which rather cleverly turns the Fuji F200 into three cameras in one. The first EXR mode shoots a high-res 12 megapixel picture, the second takes a 6 megapixel photo with less noise, and the third combines two 6 megapixel images taken at different exposures to capture more dynamic range. Does Fujifilm's brave attempt to concentrate on image quality rather than more megapixels pay off? Carry on reading our detailed review to find out...
Nikon Coolpix S60
The Nikon Coolpix S60 is one of the more distinctive compact digital cameras around, with a "wave-surface" design and large 3.5 inch LCD display. Furthermore, the S60 is almost completely controlled via its touch-screen LCD, even including zooming in and out. Other standout features of the Nikon S60 include a 5x zoom lens with Vibration Reduction, Scene Auto Selector for beginners, Smile Timer with blink detection, and and a HDMi output for viewing photos on a HDTV set. The Nikon Coolpix S60 costs around €349 / £299.99 / $349.95.

The son of Kenya's founding father and a former government minister took the stage before thousands of supporters in what was billed as prayer meeting days before the two face the International Criminal Court.
But observers say the two _ along with high-powered supporters _ instead could be trying to rile up tribes with hate speech, which could incite the type of violence Kenya saw after its 2007 presidential election.
It is for that violence that six Kenyans must report to The Hague on Thursday for preliminary proceedings over charges of crimes against humanity. More than 1,000 Kenyans died and 600,000 were forced from their homes during the violence in late 2007 and early 2008.
Two of the six _ Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Uhuru Kenyatta and former Higher Education Minister William Ruto _ have held several rallies in recent weeks, including an afternoon of speeches before thousands on Monday in the town of Gatundu, a region full of Uhuru supporters.
The gatherings are billed as prayer meetings, but little of the time is devoted to religion.
"When five minutes are used to pray you cannot call those prayer meetings," said Henry Maina of the freedom of expression group Article 19. "The intention of the meetings is to stir up hatred."
Uhuru _ the son of the late Jomo Kenyatta, Kenya's first president after independence from Britain in 1963 _ is being billed as a top contender for Kenya's next presidential election in 2012.
Now Uhuru's and Ruto's political futures will be colored by what transpires at the ICC, whose prosecutor contends that the six helped direct the election violence. Also charged are former Minister of Industrialization Henry Kiprono Kosgey, Cabinet Secretary Francis Kirimi Muthaura, former police chief Mohammed Hussein Ali and broadcaster Joshua Sang.
Violence erupted in Kenya after President Mwai Kibaki was declared winner of the December 2007 vote that supporters of the leading opposition candidate Raila Odinga said was rigged.
Postelection clashes erupted between tribes that supported Kibaki, a Kikuyu, and those that supported Odinga, a Luo. Fighting stopped after former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan mediated an agreement that made Odinga prime minister.
On Tuesday, Annan asked leaders to exercise restraint in the use of language as the six suspects go to The Hague to attend court proceedings.
"There is palpable tension in the air in Kenya, with the flames of hate language and ethnic incitement being fanned from various quarters." Annan said in a statement. "Words can soothe, as well as inflame."
A 2008 government report on the violence found that politicians used hate speech that made tribes turn on one another.
Maina fears Uhuru is using that kind of speech again. He accused Uhuru of using hate speech in a rally on Friday where he invoked the prime minister's mother. Odinga's half of Kenya's coalition government has refused to support requests made to the U.N. Security Council by Kibaki, the president, to defer the cases against the six.
Munyori Buku, Uhuru's spokesman, said accusations of hate speech by Article 19 are inaccurate. Buku said the only groups in Kenya with the authority to label words as hate speech are courts and the National Cohesion and Integration Commission. The commission says it is looking into allegations of hate speech but won't comment until next week.
Odinga in February entered into a war of words with Kenyatta and Ruto. Uhuru, in a radio show interview conducted in his native tongue of Kikuyu, made what is considered a disrespectful reference to Odinga. The prime minister hit back in remarks widely believed to describe Ruto and Uhuru as drunkards and land-grabbing thieves.
In Monday's rally, which was attended by more than 35 members of parliament loyal to Uhuru and Ruto, speaker after speaker lambasted the prime minister and the ICC. Several parliamentarians said Odinga is supporting the ICC process to ensure Ruto and Uhuru are jailed during the 2012 presidential race, clearing Odinga's path to the presidency.
Ruto has announced his presidential ambitions, while Uhuru, a Kikuyu, has been anointed by some leaders in his community as Kibaki's successor.
"The case here is a political one to determine who will go into the statehouse," Energy Minister Kiraitu Murungi said at Monday's rally. "What is going on here is judicial neocolonialism."
Stephen Gathuo, an official with a group of people displaced from their homes by the postelection violence, said the recent rallies would lead to hostilities. He said the two leaders are inciting Ruto's Kalenjin community in the Rift Valley and tribes allied to Uhuru in Central Province against Odinga's Luo community in Nyanza.
"Those prayer meetings have elevated tribal animosity, because it is not prayers, it is politics and hurling abuses," Gathuo said. "It has destroyed the relationships we were slowly rebuilding between tribes after the postelection violence."

THE LOST WORLD ($25) is one of the great classic adventures of the silent film era, and certainly far more entertaining than the Steven Spielberg atrocity that bore the same name. Of course Willis OBriens stop motion special effects appear primitive and crude when compared to what can be done today, but this is still a better made movie by any standard. The plot of the 1925 edition of THE LOST WORLD centers on an expedition to a plateau on the South American continent, where dinosaurs are still believed to exist. The scientists do discover living dinosaurs and manage to capture a live brontosaurus. The creature is brought back to London to prove the existence of living dinosaurs, but escapes and tears up much of London during the films climax. I feel that the 1925 edition of THE LOST WORLD is a true treasure amongst silent films. This silent classic deserves to be seen for both its entertaining story and for Willis OBriens pioneering stop motion special effects. Without Willis OBrien, much of movie history would have been radically altered. OBrien brought King Kong to life and served as the inspiration for later stop motion masters such as Ray Harryhausen. The cast of THE LOST WORLD features Wallace Beery, Alma Bennet, George Bunny, Lewis Stone, Arthur Hoyt and Charles Wellesley.
Lumivision has produced this edition of THE LOST WORLD several years ago for Laserdisc with the cooperation of the George Eastman House, from the best surviving 35mm and 16mm materials. Since this edition was produced, additional footage cut from THE LOST WORLD has been discovered, but is in desperate need of restoration before it can be incorporated back into the film. Unfortunately, funding for the restoration is still required, so it may be years before a more complete edition of THE LOST WORLD will be released. This shorter version of THE LOST WORLD remains a marvel and is certain to please fans. The quality of the film elements for THE LOST WORLD is fairly good, especially for a film from 1925, which a major studio hasnt carefully preserved. The film isnt pristine, but remains entirely enjoyable. The transfer features a fairly detailed image and reasonably good black and white contrast. Sequences have been tinted to recapture the feeling of an original theatrical presentation. Digital compression artifacts were never bothersome on this DVD.
The Dolby Digital soundtrack is two channel stereo and offers a pleasant musical accompaniment for the film.
As supplement, Lumivision has included an original trailer, promotional materials, excerpts from Willis OBriens shorts, a still frame library, short films OBrien made for Edison and technical notes.
THE LOST WORLD is a great silent film, and this DVD is the best way to enjoy it.

They Were an Item #80
Carole King and Gerry Goffin

wrote some of the best songs for The Monkees

- Who Am Us Anyway? said...
In eerily prescient fashion, I just noted earlier this week on another blog that once you become aware of it, you start seeing King's name everywhere. To my surprise I discovered she's credited on half the records in the entire world, give or take a bazillion. The factoid that i tumbled to earlier this week was that she & Goffin co-wrote the Animals' Don't Bring Me Down. I mean, come on. Unless you were a huge Carole King fan (I haven't been) who'd a thunk THAT? And yeah, as Christopher noted, some -- i think perhaps all -- the best Monkees songs have King's name on it.

Goffin and King had a tortured relationship if their songs are anything to go eg: Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, He Hit Me (And It Felt Like a Kiss) (though I believe this latter song was inspired there live in babysitter's life...this babysitter went on to become Little Eva singing Goffin/Kings Locomotion).
Personally my favourite Monkees song are by Neil Diamond and Boyce/Hart (though I s'pose you could argue the latter is a Paul Revere and the Raiders song),
No disrepect intended to Goffin/King though, I love 'em too.

"I took this to church for a morning snack. Many loved that it had a bit of sweetness on the top, but the bread wasn't overly sweet. I used walnuts that I toasted...I always prefer my nuts in cooking to be toasted! This would also be wonderful with toasted pecans! Very nice and would be wonderful with a cup of coffee or tea!"

The word 'cult' gets tossed around freely these days, like 'Nazi', or Christian, but what is going on at IHOP is troublesome to say the very least:
First here:
…..noticed Rev. Bickle's claim of not one but two trips to heaven and back. I also thought the reporter was remiss in not demanding details. Bickle may be the only man who has made such a journey….
….In view of the many shooting sprees by mentally deranged individuals who said they were directed by God to kill and maim innocent people, I'm turned off by people who, in effect, boast of fireside chats with the Almighty.
Rev. Bickle also claims that he enjoys conversations with God. Now I've experienced some emotional epiphanies in my life, but I've never heard the voice of God. Neither have any of my friends, most far better Christians than I.
And from here:
The International House of Prayer will host two neighborhood forums for concerned residents to ask questions about the group's activities.
The first is 7 p.m. Thursday at Grandview High School, 2300 High Grove Road. The other is set for 7 p.m. Tuesday at Hillcrest Community Center, 10401 Hillcrest Road. Invitations were mailed to ZIP codes in south Kansas City and Grandview.
Director and founder Mike Bickle will be present to answer questions about the group's fast growth and its plans to build a new world headquarters in Grandview. Questions also can be sent ahead of time by calling 877-762-4467.
Residents have wondered about the influx of newcomers and the group's odd hours, which include a 24/7 prayer center.
If you 'church' has to hold neighborhood meetings to explain its activities…maybe, just maybe something could be wrong. (For some of the problems which helped to necessitate this meeting, see here.)
Then, from here:
Leaders of the International House of Prayer met with the public for the second time (we covered the first), and it doesn't sound like a lot came out of the meeting other than more denials from church founder Mike Bickle that his church isn't a cult.
KSHB Channel 41 attended the star-studded meeting (Cathy Jolly! John Sharp! Alvin Brooks!). The highlight: Neighbor Carmen Kelly said the kids all seem "brainwashed."
Kelly said:
"They all kind of talk the same. They speak in monotone. I've had some of them follow me around."
Bickle disagreed.
"If they were brainwashed, then they would be listening to me telling them to stop doing that," Bickle said. "I'm really against that kind of stuff."
Good to know Bickle is against his people creepily following people around.
For those of you who may not remember, Mike Bickle, pastor of IHOP, comes from the Kansas City Revival, which would eventually give rise to the likes of the Domionists, including Todd Bentley.

The draw for the quarter finals of the Scottish Hydro Bowl was made at Murrayfield yesterday, and to say that it could have been kinder to Duns is an understatement, to say the least.
The two qualifiers from the West region have been drawn to play each other, as have the two qualifiers from the Midlands region. However, both of the qualifiers from the East region have been handed away ties to the two surviving North region clubs, meaning that Duns face an Easter weekend on the road.
After being drawn away to Ross Sutherland, from Invergordon, at the quarter final stage last season, en route to the Murrayfield final, Duns must travel to Orkney in three weeks time if they are to achieve back to back appearances at the national stadium.
The full draw is :-
Wigtownshire v Strathendrick or Cumnock
Strathmore v Grangemouth
Aberdeen University v Earlston or North Berwick
Orkney v Duns
The two delayed ties in the last 16 are being played tomorrow ( 13th March ) with the quarter finals scheduled for April 3rd.

That time I didn't run long (x2)
|June 25, 2012
|Posted by Emily under Uncategorized
Confession: last week when I took my 48 hours off, I was still calculating how I could end my week with a high mileage total. I may have been all "REST IS SO GOOD. I DON'T CARE HOW MANY MILES I RUN THIS WEEK" on the outside, but on the inside, the mental math was racing furiously to figure out how I could still make daily mile proud, even with a 48 hour "break."
So I went running for 7 miles on Friday at lunch, knowing that my only opportunity to get any mileage in would have to happen midday since I was scheduled to start my weekend of fun in DC immediately after leaving the office. It was (mother fucking) hot, I'd already taught a killer spin class that morning, but I just HAD to log miles. And with that mileage under my belt before the weekend, I was set to still hit at least 60 for the week, since most weekends don't go by without me running somewhere in the neighborhood of 25-35 miles. Even in the sloppiest stages of marathon recovery immediately after Eugene, I was still out there for a 12 mile long run first thing Saturday morning and back out on Sunday to log some recovery miles. Long running and weekends just go together in my life. They're like the peanut butter and jelly (or, even better, peanut butter and chocolate) of my running schedule. I don't even think about whether or not I want to run long when I wake up on a Saturday morning. I just proceed immediately to the toaster, while simultaneously lacing up my running shoes and strapping on my garmin, and then head out the door for double digits.
But this weekend, my first raceless weekend in a while and my first weekend actually staying in DC in even longer, I didn't end up running long. I barely even ran short. I certainly ran really, really slow.
And I didn't care. In fact, I was happy, relieved even, to unload the pressure I put on myself every damn weekend to hit major miles.
I scrapped my plans to spend Saturday running long when I woke up after way too few hours of sleep, way too many ounces of belgian beer and one very appealing text invitation to spend the afternoon shopping and drinking on patios.
Who has time to run long when you can drink budlight in a can at a crossfit gym? Yup, that happened. In our defense, it was for a fundraiser. Some people run for a good cause, we drink bad beer in a hot gym.
Instead of hitting the road for 20 miles, I ran 5, grabbed my closest sundress, and resolved to run long the next day.
Fast forward more than a few hours of patio cocktails, a margarita the size of my head and an impromptu Robyn dance party, and I did no such make up long run sesh.
Instead, I ran another 5, even slower miles with a friend who was equally, if not more so, feeling the consequences of a long Saturday night. I didn't look at our pace at all, but I'm pretty sure the guy who passed us in a cotton shirt and high socks could have confirmed just how slowly we were crawling…if he had been wearing a garmin. Instead of our normal routine of speeding up to avoid getting passed, we just laughed at how pathetically slow we were going, and maintained our sluggish pace. And after the run was done, I cut off any possibility to add on more miles by heading out for some brunch drinks with a friend from home who decided to turn his canceled flight into a full on weekend of fun in DC.
We get REALLY excited when we are served drinks in pint glasses from Middlebury because we are also from Middlebury. Try to contain your jealousy of how cool we are.
I felt a little shitty about my lack of miles this weekend for half a second and then I realized that my weekend away from lots-o-miles was exactly what I needed. While my runless 48 hours was great and helpful, it wasn't enough. I just beat the shit out of my legs with five huge races in seven weeks and I can't expect them to magically recover in 48 hours, which a weekend of shitty, slow, short runs made very clear. And while I'm in no way claiming to have 100 percent recovered in two extra days of easy running, I am feeling about 100 times better in my hokas.
This morning, I headed out for run. I wasn't sure how long I wanted to go, I just knew that after a weekend of endless debauchery, I needed to sweat. My normal weekday morning routine is to run 4-6 easy miles before work. For the past couple of weeks, I have crawled through these runs at a pace that makes me curse out loud every 5 strides and spent every minute of the run counting down the steps until I'm back home.
But today? Today was finally a good old, runners highing kind of run. I found myself taking turns or modifying my route over and over again to add on distance, which is SUCH a refreshing feeling after countless runs spent questioning my love for miles and miles of running.
I'm not back, but I'm on my way to being back. My legs and mind are both finally getting to be on the same page. While I was taking my real live break from running and running long, I spent some time thinking about the big "what next?" question and I'm 99 percent sure I can answer it. And I'm finally feeling physically and mentally ready to tackle my next big goal. Having track trials to watch all weekend and fuel my running excitement is also not slowing down my desire to get back out there and race the shit out of a course.
I hope everyone had a great weekend of running and racing! HUGE SHOUT OUTS of congrats to all of the brand spankin' new Ironman athletes who killed it at IMCDA yesterday. You kids are inspiring and full of bad ass sweat.

Otter Creek! I just went there yesterday to get my VT brewery passport stamp. I'm on a mission to get 10 stamps before brewfest to get a free t-shirt.
I'm glad you are scaling it back. I was starting to worry that it might take an injury before you realized how much abuse you're putting on your body. Treat yourself well!
I'm so proud of you!!! You chose patio-sitting over running! You're not an addict! Way to go!!!
I think it's great you're learning to recover. You've mentioned how you're prone to injury; listen to your body no matter how hard it may be to do! Your fracture posts were great, I love that it all helped you come back stronger and better than ever!
[…] party this weekend, a fundraiser for a friend from Middlebury, and maybe a little running (a very little amount of running.) But hour by hour, new and exceedingly fun things kept popping […]
Had a fantastic relay run this weekend. The team came in 3rd in the Ekiden Relay at the StanChart KL Marathon (www.kl-marathon.com). And you should really incorporate cutback 48-hour breaks every 3-4 weeks.

Ingo Swann
Ingo Swann
Message - 2 (10Dec95)
In late October 1971, I and a colleague were in Washington. This was still a time when no one wanted a psychic anywhere near their official premises. So we met in bars and pizza parlors (the Pizza Parlor Conferences on Psychic Warfare). On this occasion there were six spooks. But one seemed very important because when he opened his mouth to talk, everyone else shut up immediately. Actually, he didn't say much, but when he did it was always with a pointed question.
"Mr. Swann," he said, "If you were going to set up a threat analysis program to match what the Soviets are up to, what would you do?"
After gathering my wits, I responded: "Well., there would be two major options, both of which should be pursued. If --they-- are really interested they would be trying to locate and recruit psychics on a broad scale, to test and experiment with them." (It was known at this time that the KGB was undertaking such a recruitment, from as far away as Tibet and Mongolia where shamans and monks with powers were located and dragged to Russia by force.)
"But if you follow this option, you will be dealing with American citizens who can't be dragged and forced. You will have to convince them to work on your behalf, and most psychics I know don't like the intelligence community. But this should somehow be followed up.
"The second option is to institute a broad inquiry into the nature and processes involved, at least regarding psi perceptions which would be amenable to psychic spying, psychic penetration. To do this, you must assume one thing that's not been assumed before. You must assume that psi potentials are broadly a human species thing, and thus generally available everywhere.
"If this is so, then there must be psi constants involved, constants that can be harnessed if they can be identified. If these constants are revealed and understood, then you can assume that the Soviets are probably looking for them, too. Both options should be followed to see where they lead."
The 'conference' then removed to a quite nice bar in Laurel just outside of Washington proper. There the chief spook took me aside and asked if I ever received a security clearance. "Yes, in the Army -- S and TS." "OK," he responded, "do you mind if we got it reactivated?" This was my --second-- message, quite spontaneous.

No one is a prude for not wanting to read certain material. Tell me I can't have something because you don't like it, and that's different.
I do think that Amazon's search system could be improved. If you type in "daddy", a lot of listings may well be results that the OP doesn't want. Smashwords has a "prude filter" to filter out erotica, that might be a good idea for Amazon to adopt. I've not seen any evidence that the existence of these books lead to people going out and doing these things in real life. They would have such fantasies even if the books didn't exist: non-readers and those in illiterate societies aren't any less likely to have such fantasies.
Even putting aside content that some might find objectionable, so many of the results are irrelevant. In a bookstore, I wander the shelves by category. One minute, I might be in the mystery section, the next, I might be in the science fiction section. I don't want all of fiction in one section, let alone all books in one giant section. Let me search in the Kindle Store by category.

Research Rules to Live By
- Don't re-invent the wheel: use others' work to fuel your own research
- Let your feet (and fingers) do the walking: physical browsing can be as good or better than electronic searching
- Schedule for serendipity: browsing the library stacks is one of the best ways to discover new resources
- Get to know bibliographic records. They are your friends
- Don't do it alone: Use library services (ILL, Librarians, Reference desks, Chat, etc.)
- Google is good (but only to a point)
- Used appropriately, search engines like Google can be a very powerful and useful tool to facilitate your research. Everyone should use them — but use them wisely.
- As general a rule, don't rely on any information accessed through search engines alone.
- Either use this information to help you refine your searches using trusted information sources (through a library website) or verify this information using trusted sources (whether electronic or in print) before using it in your work.
- Google Scholar, however, CAN be a useful tool in finding trusted information, as it indexes only trusted (though not all "scholarly) resources — newspapers, periodicals, journals, etc.
- Start broadly then limit thoughtfully
- Use Union lists: learn what is "out there"
- Don't avoid library catalogs
- Don't forget about print resources
- Learning about the history of research in the subject and the relevant scholars is as important as (and is part of) researching the subject
- If you find what looks to be a promising source, don't give up on it
- Keep a good record of everything you look at (or at least everything you take notes from)
- Join academic listservs They are an invaluable resource (for now and later)

Scientists at the University of Glasgow are researching the use of 3D printers to create customized drugs and chemicals, according to the BBC.
In a paper published on April 15 in the Nature Chemistry journal, the researchers revealed that they used the 3D printing system, worth £1,250 ($2,000) to fabricate a range of organic and inorganic compounds, some of which they said could be used for cancer treatments.
The researchers predicted that the technique could be used by pharmaceutical companies within five years to make customized medicines, and be available to the public in 20 years time.
More on GlobalPost: A printable home robot, easy as IKEA, brought to you by MIT
Mark Symes, one of the researchers, told the BBC, "We are showing that you can take chemical constituents, pass them through a printer and create what is effectively a chemical synthesizer in which the reaction occurs allowing you to get out something different at the end."
"We're extrapolating from that to say that in the future you could buy common chemicals, slot them into something that 3D prints, just press a button to mix the ingredients and filter them through the architecture and at the bottom you would get out your prescription drug," he said.
More on GlobalPost: Patient gets a new jaw from 3D printer
Using 3D printers and open-source software, the team built "reactionware," vessels for chemical reactions made from a polymer gel, according to TG Daily. The process the team used is similar to large-scale chemical engineering, adding chemicals to the gel and making the vessel a part of the reaction process.
Professor Lee Cronin said, "It's long been possible to have lab materials custom-made to include windows or electrodes, for example, but it's been expensive and time-consuming," according to TG Daily.
He added, "We can fabricate these reactionware vessels using a 3D printer in a relatively short time. Even the most complicated vessels we've built have only taken a few hours."
Cronin said 3D printers could revolutionize healthcare in the developing world, making it more affordable and efficient.

Generally, I'm too old to like novelty helmets. However, Sparty should definitely go the route Navy did and visual their hat on their helmet. Those jowl guards and plumes on top, once helmetized, would be epic.

Duck Dunn, bassist for Booker T. and the MG's.
Session bassist for Stax records in Memphis. Played the foundations for so many hits of the late 60's and on....
Gained new found fame as an actor in the 80's when he played himself in the " Blues Brothers " movie.
With Donna Summers' passing, the media are sure to give Duck short shrift.

Day 195.
Somehow we ended up with very little in terms of leftover meals this week. However, I had a ton of peaches still (in spite of readying enough for tomorrow's Peach-Rhubarb Crisp). I also had some leftover "bacon" from another dish. I thought it could be interesting to join the bacon and fruit bandwagon with this one. I didn't do a lot of sugar, so it kept it leaning a bit toward the savory side, while still being sweet.
Bacon-Pecan Peaches
- 2 cups peaches, diced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- olive oil
- 8 slices "Bacon," chopped
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 cup pecan halves
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 cup yogurt, vegan if desired (optional)
- basil leaf (optional)
Masticate diced peaches with sugar in a bowl or plastic bag until juices are released. Meanwhile, fry bacon with a bit of olive oil and brown sugar about 5 minutes, or until crispy. Set aside.
When peaches are ready, warm over medium heat. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, onion powder and pecan halves. Cook for about 5-10 minutes, until peaches reach desired tenderness. Stir in bacon. Served topped with yogurt and basil leaf, if desired.
The Results
Oh wow. This tasted like the peach version of an apple dumpling. The yogurt melted into the fruit and tasted shockingly like whipped cream. I absolutely love this dish. I actually made it twice. The first time I cooked the bacon in with the peaches. But it worked out much better to keep them separate until the end. The bacon stayed much crispier that way. Yum.

The Importance of Geographic Wine Appellations: Hedonic Pricing of Burgundy Wines in the British Columbia Wine Market
"To examine the buying habits of British Columbia (BC) wine consumers and their appreciation of French wine attributes, we estimate a hedonic price function for Burgundy wines which comprise an array of different appellations, vintages, and alcohol levels. BC ranks among the top three wine-consuming provinces in Canada and residents' wine preferences are likely linked to an emerging sophistication in tastes. This study uses weekly retail sales data and attributes of Burgundy wines reported by the BC Liquor Distribution Branch. The results confirm the collective reputation effects of the Burgundy wine region and show that the implicit values differ between white and red Burgundy wines with village designation and vintage having a relatively larger effect on white wine prices than in the case of red wines. Burgundy white wines, such as Aloxe-Corton, Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru, Meursault Premier Cru, and Chablis Grand Cru, were associated with larger price premia."

Finally, the recommendations of the justice J.S. Verma panel on sexual crimes have now legal force. On Sunday, President Pranab Mukherjee signed an ordinance amending the criminal law dealing with such matters.
What the government and the judiciary need to do is to ensure that frivolous procedural requirements are not used to derail cases involving sexual crimes. No number of "fast-track" courts can check this menace if legal roadblocks are used to the detriment of the victims.
The government's response, especially the ordinance, has come in for criticism from women's groups. The charge being that not all recommendations of the Verma panel have been accepted. Not all is lost for, after all, the ordinance has to be brought before Parliament sooner or later. Surely, changes, amendments and enhancements to the law can be carried out at that stage.

Subtle Sexism in Shots of Sarah Palin's Shoes?
Subtle Sexism in Shots of Sarah Palin's Shoes?
I don't know if you've heard, but Sarah Palin is a woman. That's not such a secret. What's interesting about her persona and candidacy is that she makes no effort to downplay her femininity or her role as a super hands-on mother — she's not pantsuiting it up or hiding her feminine ways (no judgment on Hillary, of course. Some gals like a good pantsuit.).
I've been noticing the different style of photos of Palin from the get-go, but uproar over one particular photo — one showing a male supporter's face looking up through the legs of the governor — this week sent me on a hunt to see just how prevalent the trend might be. There were not just a couple, but a shoe-store full of 'em.
I'm no wacky feminist conspiracy theorist, but I will say, this photo of Palin's gams snapped at the veep debate, shown above . . .? No corresponding calf shot of Biden, you can bet on that. Here's my question: Are these just artsy shots, a different way to cover a candidate — one who makes no effort to conceal her legs or girlishness (see: Pit bull in lipstick, hockey mom, etc.)? Or is there a subtle (or not-so-subtle) sexist undermining aspect to the shoe shots?
To see the rest of the shoe snaps,

From The GOON NOIR, 2006. John Arcudi wrote a very funny script for this six-page story. Here we see The Goon doing what he does best, getting mad and beating people up. As usual, I started with a tiny thumbnail sketch. It's rough, but most of the action is worked out. For some reason, I decided not to draw the chair that I roughed in on the layout.

very cool Kevin, his outfit reminds me a bit of the episode of Batman Animated when Bruce went undercover and ended up at some desert work camp. Anyhow, I digress. The pencils are lovely and love that first panel.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Jayna. I think I remember that episode. Bruce looked a little like a dock worker or a cabbie. That cap instantly communicates Urban Working Class.ReplyDelete

NEW YORK/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Some U.S. craft brewers are uneasy about plans by Anheuser-Busch InBev (ABI.BR) to buy out Mexican beer maker Grupo Modelo GMODELOC.MX, fearing the giant's increased power could make it harder for them to hitch a ride on delivery trucks to stores and pubs.
Brewers, as well as beer wholesalers and members of Congress, have been quietly taking this concern and others to the Justice Department, which is investigating whether the $20.1 billion deal complies with antitrust law. The department has given no sign of being ready to make a decision.
In order to preempt antitrust concerns arising from AB InBev, which is the No. 1 brewer in both the United States and the world, having an additional 5 percent of the U.S. market, Modelo agreed to sell its stake in Crown Imports, the U.S. seller of Modelo's beers, to Constellation Brands Inc (STZ.N) for $1.85 billion.
"What they're going to be saying to DOJ is that we (AB InBev) have nothing to do with the distribution of Modelo. But if you think AB InBev doesn't have huge influence on Crown, I have a bridge to sell you," said Steve Hindy, a founder of the Brooklyn Brewery.
AB InBev already controls more than 47 percent of the U.S. market with brands including Budweiser, Stella Artois and Beck's.
The nation's No. 2 player is MillerCoors, a joint venture between SABMiller Plc SAB.L and Molson Coors Brewing Co (TAP.N), with a 28.4 percent market share, according to Beer Marketer's Insights. Crown, which sells Modelo beers such as Corona Extra, Modelo Especial and Pacifico, is a distant third with 5.3 percent.
Craft beers account for 6 percent of the U.S. beer market, and are growing swiftly, according to the Brewers Association. The number of craft brewers has grown from eight in 1980 to 537 in 1994 to over 1,600 in 2010.
The biggest of the small include Boston Beer Co (SAM.N), Yuengling, Sierra Nevada, New Belgium and Craft Brew Alliance Inc (BREW.O), which makes beer under the Red Hook and Kona brands and is nearly a third owned by AB InBev.
Post-Prohibition era rules ban brewers in 38 states from distributing their own beers to retailers. As a result, there is a middle tier of largely independent wholesalers, over 3,000 of them. Small craft brewers rely on these wholesalers to get their beers to the market, and they fear that AB InBev's clout will keep their beer off delivery trucks.
Senators Christopher Coons and Thomas Carper and three others agree. They sent a letter on October 2 to the Justice Department expressing concern about problems of craft brewers' access to wholesalers.
"ABI's business practices aimed at preventing its distributor partners from associating freely with competitor breweries strikes at (the) heart of competition in the beer market," said the letter. "Consumers will ultimately be harmed."
One of the six lawmakers who signed the letter was from Colorado, home to the rival Coors brand. Two are from Delaware, home of the popular craft brew Dogfish Head, which has "One Hundred Bottles of Beer on the Wall" on its voicemail.
If the Justice Department were to find that the Modelo deal would hurt consumers - such as by leading to higher prices or fewer choices - it could try to stop it by taking the parties to court or requiring sales of assets to dilute the entity's power.
As is normal practice on a deal this big, the Justice Department has met with players in all areas of the beer market in recent weeks to discuss the acquisition.
Although Modelo agreed to sell its stake in Crown to Constellation, AB InBev would be allowed to buy Crown after 10 years, albeit at a high price. Antitrust experts say the Justice Department could bar AB InBev from exercising that buyback in 10 years time or ask them to remove it from the current deal.
In the meantime, AB InBev will have no control of the brands in the United States, but it will become the leading brewer in Mexico, which is Latin America's second-largest economy and fourth most-profitable beer market. It also sees a big opportunity in selling Corona around the world.
The global opportunity - rather than the U.S. market - is a big impetus for AB InBev to make the major but difficult purchase, though industry sources say the company has had its eye on Corona for years.
"This combination will create meaningful opportunities to grow Corona globally outside the U.S. and Mexico, given AB InBev's established platform for distribution worldwide and the resources at its disposal," said AB InBev spokeswoman Marianne Amssoms.
AB InBev also disputes the notion that it will have influence over Crown, which, according to the companies' agreement, will control distribution, marketing, promotion and pricing in perpetuity.
"Grupo Modelo's brands will continue to be imported, marketed and distributed independently in the U.S. through Crown Imports, leaving the U.S. market's shares unchanged," Amssoms said. Crown "will continue to manage all aspects of the business, including the selection of wholesalers for Grupo Modelo products."
The National Beer Wholesalers Association, a trade group, said its members had been contacted by the Justice Department.
"NBWA is committed to ensuring that the independence of beer distributors is maintained, not weakened, as a result of this proposed acquisition," said the association's chief executive Craig Purser.
Three beer industry sources said they thought brewers and wholesalers might actually be criticizing the deal in hopes of getting concessions from a giant they fear before it's too late, given the upcoming presidential election, which they think might change the political leanings of the DOJ, and the fact that this is likely to be the last big beer deal for some time.
"If somebody has a strong point of view one way or the other, this will probably be their last chance to have some kind of meaningful impact on how the industry shakes out," said a craft brewing executive who declined to be identified.
Another one said brewers might be trying to "get a pound of flesh" they weren't able to get in 2008 when InBev bought Anheuser-Busch for $52 billion.
As the parties jockey, people who attended two separate meetings at the Justice Department said officials there had few if any questions, and the questions that were asked indicated that they were still deciding if they would have concerns about the deal.

text: Hi Folks, I've been beating my head against the wall for the last 2+ days trying to figure out what I'm missing. I have a new AppleTV G2 that is jailbroken. I've been able to install nitoTV, XBMC, and a few others. I'm currently trying to install firefox using nitoTV's smart installer, but I can't figure out how to access or enable this Smart Installer. Everything I read points to installing nitoTV, and then within ATV menu, nitoTV -> Install Software -> Smart Installer. This path doesn't exist. There's no reference that I can find anywhere within nitoTV that launches this. I've also searched using nitoTV for the smart installer thinking I have to install it separately but the search yields nothing. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled nitoTV to no avail. Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated.

Oooh! (USA country code) (231) 883-1753. Lol, I wonder if I'll ever get a message or a call. You can send one from http://www.npiwireless.com/mobilemessaging or something like that

Oooh! (USA country code) (231) 883-1753. Lol, I wonder if I'll ever get a message or a call. You can send one from http://www.npiwireless.com/mobilemessaging or something like that
What is the USA country code? 1?
Yes, I believe so, at least that's the code I used to reach blackrat364 with (don't know if he/she has received my SMS though).
Heh, would be soooooo USA to have the number "1" as their nation code.
...us being the first nation with a national phone system.
Haven't gotten it yet Zewu. Dialing to a different country might involve a few more numbers... check the phone book.
Well, I checked the phone book before I sent the SMS, and all I have to do is to begin by dialing a prefix for outside-nation calls (00), and then the code of the requested nation. It has worked to Germany and Bangladesh, so I don't see why it shouldn't to the US.
This is what I dialed: 0012318831753
perhaps I shouldn't add that "231", US state code?
I'll try the same number once again, and then one time exluding the "231"
Hmmm... here you have to dial a 1 before the area code (231). Maybe it would be
001 1 231 883 1753
You'll definitely need the 231 in there though. The US is a big country - seven digit phone numbers don't cut it :)
What is an SMS?
SMS stands for "short message service" It's just a little text message on your phone.
Hehehehe.......ok, tried the "001 1 231 883 1753" variant now. This thread really does prove that we don't have lives.....
I tried google, but there were no replacement lifes for download. So I searched the next best source and here it is: your new life.
( And yes, US Country code is 001, what else would you expect ? )
You know I heard about someone trying to seel their soul on eBay?
Did they get any bids?
I don't know, probably. I just heard about it through word-of-mouth though, so it could even be just an urban legend.

So I met this guy at work. He started working there a couple months I started, I'm 19 he's 23. When I first met/saw him I wasn't automatically infatuated, but I did consider him as good looking. We started to get to know each other more through work and I gave him a couple rides home, I eventually began to like him. Every time we would make eye contact it was like I couldn't breathe, I was always looking forward to work when I knew he'd be working with me. Considering we were co workers I never really made it obvious I was into him at work. We did flirt and talk but there were times where I couldn't talk to him because I didn't want to say something stupid. I remember for the longest time I thought I was wishful thinking and thought this was all in my head, the idea that he felt the same way for me. I mean, all the signs were there he just never made a move. I did however catch him stealing some looks and he was super generous and sweet with me. But little subliminal things would make me second guess his liking towards me. Like: he has my number but never texted me (he did say he wasn't a phone person though but still) I also initiated to go on a hike sometime since we both like hikes. So yeah that's the gist of how I fell for him, although I left out a lot more details, just this last week I show up to work and his name wasn't on the schedule anymore. My boss then tells me that he quit the morning before and said "I want to live my dream...btw not coming in to open today." I was crushed, like legitimately crushed, I last saw him on Friday when I went to get my paycheck and he quit on Monday morning. I was overwhelmed with emotions, because not only has he quit, but when I last had contact with him, I had no phone and he has my number. Now that I have one I can't let him know I got a phone since I never got HIS number. He walked out of my life and now work isn't the same anymore. Three days ago, his roommates came in asked if I knew Chris (not his real name) and I said oh yeah he used to work here, they said "he says hi", I automatically thought why he couldn't just tell me himself or why the heck I didn't tell them to say to him for me, I kinda just froze for a bit I miss him so much and regret never telling him how I felt for him. I don't know if I should linger on and hope he one day shows up in my life or if I should just give up and live my life. It's just crazy to think that the one guy I ever felt this way for just vanishes without even saying goodby to me himself.
He left without saying goodbye... What now?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
sounds to me like he is a bit of a free-sprit so to speak. He made what sounds like an impulsive decision. He also probably is conflicted or nervous about his feelings for you so he doesn't make the bold move or text, call, etc.
It sucks I'm sure for you but don't take it personally. It says more about him than it does you. Perhaps you could email or send a text (if you have either contact) and mention that you were surprised he quit without even saying goodbye to you. Or if his roommates come in again be like "Oh he said hi? funny cause he never said bye" (in a joking manner so they don't think you are being b*tchy)11|00|0
i agree - free spirit - and non-committal. even tho he did like her. he does not want to be tied down.
he's a butterfly...
yea non-comittal sounds right too

Watch Whoopi Goldberg Roll A Sad Looking Joint On "Watch What Happens Live"
On last night's episode of "Watch What Happens Live," during the segment in which Andy Cohen's celeb guest demonstrates their special talent, Whoopi Goldberg showed Andy and actress Zoe Saldana how to roll a joint. You know, of oregano. Or tobacco. Pick your poison! Anyway, Whoopi was probably feeling the pressure of a time limit because her doobie broke midway through. Rolling a tight, fat joint means taking your time, man. A producer signaling to go to commercial would totally harsh my mellow too.
