While contemplating buying the home shot chiller machine we coveted...errr, covered...a while back, we've stumbled across this interesting home kegerator system. You can plug it in, fill it up, and have 6 liters of chilled "draught" beer at your beck and call. We were really excited about the party applications of the 6 liter capacity until we did the math and realized it was only about twelve 16 ounce beers...or sixteen 12 ounce beers, we suppose.
That's enough for one or two of the interns, but not enough for a whole party, unless everyone brought their own, of course...

This may be our favorite stocking stuffer idea of the holiday season.
It looks like someone spilled a bunch of red goop on your bottle opener, but NO! It IS the bottle opener, and a coaster too! What won't they think of next?

File this under "Why didn't we think of it?" Fred Ice Kebabs are extended ice cube trays with an extended slot for a swizzle stick. Fill 'em with water, put in the stick, and freeze 'em, and then you can pull out the sticks with the ice right on them. This is a very cool way to make your cocktails a bit more distinctive, and one of the only ways we can think of that you'll be able to make the ice a conversation starter.

This will go perfectly in just about any bar you'd choose to put it in - especially your own. Just plug it in, pull the string, and your open for business.

We've been guilty in the past of waiting too long to put up our Christmas-y posts, so people don't have time to actually get them before the holidays. Not this year, dammit (sorry Jebus). This year, we've found you the ultimate in festive holiday drinking gear - candy cane shot glasses. We can imagine these would get sticky after a few drinks, but that's a small price to pay. Can you imagine the peppermint overload after a couple shots of Rumple Minz and eating the glass? Fresh breath for life!

We're no Tool Snobs or anything, but this is a tool box we can get behind. It's chock full of all kinds of gadgets, but instead of using them to build a birdhouse or hang a picture, it offers the tools to craft the perfect cocktail. We're thinking about getting one of these bad boys for our dad this year, and it seems like the perfect holiday gift for dudes. At least the pain of smashing their thumb with the hammer will be lessened after a few Rob Roys.
4 Olive picks - nails
1 Bottle opener - hammer
1 1/2 and 3/4 oz. jigger
1 Lemon - saw
1 Corkscrew - screwdriver
1 Cocktail strainer - spackle knife
Bar Tools - Ultimate Bartenders Kit - Black
It might not seem like the case based on the number of ingredients, but the martini is one of the tougher drinks out there to make well. Note we didn't say it was tough to make - we said it was tough to do right. Traditionally, it's stirred, but some folks want it shaken so they can be like Bond (and we suppose some people might even want to drop in some HGH so they can be like Bonds). However you take your 'tini, this gadget is designed to help you build it right.

text: Here are some photos we snapped of the short throw shifter installation on our 2006 Mustang GT, featuring UPR's Blu Thunder Billet Shifter: http://www.uprproducts.com/mustang-blu-thunder-shifter-package-05-trick.html The installation instructions are listed here: http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/yhst-37354654005614/UPR-Products-05-Mustang-Shifter-Installation.pdf Unbolt the original shifter from underneath the car. Move up top to remove the center console so you can pull the shifter out from the top. High performance! UPR Blu Thunder Billet Shifter vs OEM floppything. Install the Blue Thunder Shifter with the long side of the lever toward the driver's side. Adjust the stops. Attach the handle and the inner boot. Reinstall the center console, shifter boot, and your choice of shift knob. We chose the billet ball with the 5-speed pattern. DRIVING IMPRESSIONS: This was a good upgrade. The UPR shifter tightens up a lot of the slop which is caused by the soft bushings in the factory shifter, and the shorter throw is much more like I've been accustomed to in my other Mustangs. I should also point out that due to the "semi-remote" design of the shifter on these S197s, there is still a slight feeling of vagueness caused by the twisting motion of the drivetrain, but when we installed polyurethane engine mounts on this '06 GT, it made the shifter feel even more precise. As is always the case with UPR Products, this shifter is Made in America, it carries a Lifetime Guarantee, and we offer forum members a 10% discount on it.

Paul George intends to be in Indiana for a long time, and the Pacers should be fine with that.
With George declaring confidently that a long-term contract with the team is "going to get done" before the season begins, it seems like a no-brainer that the budding All-Star and last year's most improved player will get the five-year, "designated player" extension with the Pacers. Hardly anyone completely hates the move, particularly after George's national coming-out party in the Eastern Conference finals last spring.
As intoxicating as George's physical skills are and as admirable as it is to see a player who dedicates himself to defense as much as his scoring output, signing the 23-year-old swing-forward is not without risks. Honestly, the Pacers can't afford not to give George a maximum extension, but they are far from the first team to be in this situation.
Everyone loves George. That is not much of an exaggeration. One columnist paused to give Pacers fans a moment to "let out one joyful scream" after telling them George is likely to re-sign. Coaches love his work ethic. Teammates love his complementary game. Reporters love his unassuming personality. Opponents — the good ones, anyway — love the competition he offers. Analytics guys love his efficiency ratings. Traditionalists love all of the above, except the statistical stuff.
Before George's deal gets rubber-stamped, though, it should be made clear that this contract, like numerous others, comes with its hefty concerns. Right now, George is the darling of hardcore NBA fans for his versatility and steady rate of improvement at the bargain price of $3.3 million in 2012-13. How quickly before he transforms from the league's best deal into its worst albatross contract?
Probable? Nah. But if you think it's impossible, you're naive. We've been here before. Here are two players after their first three professional seasons, compared side by side:
Player A kind of seems like the superior player, doesn't he? (And yes, I am setting you up.) He is more durable, his player efficiency rating showed a nice jump in year three and he is a higher-percentage shooter from the field, though not from the free throw line or from deep. He gets to the foul line much more effectively, despite scoring less — which, judging by his strong field goal percentage, suggests he was on a team with another star who stole most of the shot attempts.
Allowing for the fact that assists are not a perfect indication of playmaking abilities, Player A is a strikingly better shot-creator while turning the ball over less, except for that outlier in Year 3. As a bonus, we'll let you know that Player A's PER improved each of the next two years, proving that that 18.1 PER was no fluke, and that his turnover rate fell immediately the following season and every season since, proving that his third-year turnover rate was a one-year blip.
Are you ready to give max money to Player A? Congratulations, you just gave $70 million to a young Andre Iguodala.
Iguodala is a fine player, of course. If money were eliminated from the equation, George could do a lot worse than to have a career like Iguodala, who is nine years into a solid, lucrative NBA existence. Iguodala is a stellar wing defender, an unselfish (if sometimes misguided) offensive player and a model citizen. He just signed a four-year, $48 million contract with Golden State as part of a sign-and-trade deal. Yet if Iguodala ends up being George's ceiling, the Pacers would be extremely disappointed.
That won't necessarily be the case, obviously. Nobody should be capping George's potential. But it is necessary to point out the folly in the rationale that George's contract is justified because "he's only going to get better." Why? Says who? How can we know that?
We can't. We never can. Vince Carter and Jerry Stackhouse and Stephon Marbury sure seemed like players who could "only get better" when they signed gigantic multi-year pacts coming off their rookie deals, and a startling thing happened: They didn't get better, at least not enough to justify their salaries. Marbury burned bridges, but the only fault carried by Carter, Stackhouse and dozens of others was that they failed to improve as their teams envisioned. Iguodala seemed sure to be a future star when the Sixers extended him at around $12 million per year in 2008. He turned out to be good — way better than a lot of Sixers fans give him credit for to this day — but more was expected.
Similarly, George is a sensational young player on a prototypically gritty Eastern Conference team that figures to be in the conference finals picture for many years. The Pacers couldn't keep center Roy Hibbert for maximum money without shelling out a comparable amount for George, who has a higher ceiling and is the better all-around player right now. George's trend line is sloping upward, and most of the evidence thus far suggests it will continue that way.
As long as George remains a human being, however, no one can be sure, because humans do not always follow the steady, predetermined path. George has shown that in exceeding expectations at the NBA level so far. It would not be shocking if, just once, he fell short.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Spirithorse Therapeutic Riding Center, Corinth, TX, USA
My son has been receiving services from Spirithorse since before he could walk! He has been riding for over 7 years now and we could not speak more highly of this program and the staff and volunteers. My son has created a beautiful bond with his pony and instructor and has blossomed socially in part due to his interaction with the staff and animals. His confidence has been bolstered learning and excelling in a new skill. He is a compassionate child anyway so this has been amazing to watch in his relationship with his pony and helping to care for her. The cognitive aspects of taking steps to get his pony prepped has helped him hugely with memory and following procedures and in encouraging him to take more responsibility in general. The physical aspect of riding a horse helps with his trunk strength and stability as well as positioning his feet and legs more properly. My son walked earlier and sturdier and more independently than his therapists ever thought he would and we are ever so grateful for the part that Spirithorse has played in all of his accomplishments this far. And it's just plain fun! He loves going! And he loves showing off his riding skills which are quite impressive!

Motion Sickness iOS 7
Beat iOS 7itis and Ease the Ache of the Fast-Moving OS
Nausea, headache, dizziness — feelings of motion sickness are plaguing Apple users who have upgraded to iOS 7 in the last month. A thread on the company's discussion boards is filled with quotes detailing physical reactions to prolonged use of the new operating system's quick motion graphics: "It's exactly how I used to get car sick if I tried to read in the car"; "I wish the zooming would just go away! Makes me feel sick also!"
Opening and closing any app in iOS 7 results in a fast zoom into or out of the app. Flip through several apps in just a few minutes, and as many people have noticed, it triggers a feeling of motion in the eyes while the body stays in one place, which can then cause motion sickness and its symptoms.
The inclusion of a technology called Parallax makes the background and icons on the screen appear to slightly move with the angle that the phone is held. This subtle animation is designed to make the digital world feel a little more real, but it's turned out to be another way the operating system may cause physical reactions in users.
While Apple has yet to comment on this physical reaction that users are facing, a work-around may help ease the effects of the operating system's new animations. Head to the device's Settings > General > Accessibilty and turn on Reduce Motion. This will reduce some of the animations on the screen, though it won't slow the zoom of apps opening and closing (hopefully that's to come).
Also try taking more eye breaks from your iDevice, as you would when on a computer for a prolonged period. Focus on a still object to lessen symptoms of nausea.

LS Plant Breeding Ltd (LSPB) continues to increase its presence in the UK to the benefit of growers as our varieties make their mark on the Recommended Lists for 2017.
The 2017 PGRO Recommended List for spring beans shows our fully recommended varieties Vertigo and Fanfare being joined by Lynx - which brings the highest downy mildew resistance - plus top yield ranking.
The 2017 PGRO List for combining peas shows fully recommended Salamanca and Gregor for white peas, Bluetooth and Campus fully recommended for the large blue category, and our new marrowfat pea Aikido at the head of its category.
For oilseeds, the 2016-17 AHDB winter oilseed rape Recommended Lists show our hybrid varieties Wembley and Angus maintaining their consistent performance in the East-West region, with specially recommended, clubroot-resistant Mentor continuing on both East-West and North region Lists.
As we look beyond the current year, we have a continuing stream of improved oilseed rape and pulse varieties progressing through the trials system - as well as starting to see the first varieties in trials from our developing cereal breeding programme.
We are proud of our success - from our beginnings as two companies with a long pedigree in plant breeding of oilseeds, pulses, cereals and forage crops - to being wholly owned by NPZ-Lembke, a privately-owned, plant breeding company with a long track record of bringing successful varieties to UK growers.
We continue to develop our portfolio to bring varieties with increased yield plus better agronomic characters to UK growers, advisers and the seed trade.

The "graduates" who will be seen on the Quad of the University of Nevada, Reno on Aug. 18 may seem a little young.
The 240 fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders from the Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows have been shown a slice of University life this summer through the University's Campus Kids program. Groups of 40 children spent a week on campus, Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. - 1 p.m., being supervised and mentored by college-student mentors and Boys & Girls Club teen leaders from similar backgrounds. The program is running for six weeks, and culminates in the graduation ceremony at 5:30 p.m., Aug. 18.
The goal of the program is to reach out to children at a young age to let them know that regardless of their families' incomes, "they have the right, the means and the intelligence to go to college if they work hard," according to Kathy Carrico, the University's Campus Kids Summer Youth Program director.
Nevada is 49th in the nation for college participation for students from low-income families.
The kids in the program participate in a variety of tours, activities and discussions. They stop and write in their journals and take photos as they explore the campus. Their week culminates with running a lemonade stand on Thursday at lunchtime. But, before they set up shop, they have two entrepreneurial-learning sessions with University economics professor Mark Pingle. He guides them through a computer program, "Lemonade Tycoon," where they learn about components of running a business, such as product quality, sales, customer service, pricing and location.
Fourth-grader Daizy who participated in the program said she really wants to go to college and maybe become a doctor. She said she's also learned a lot about different cultures and that "it's really important to watch what you do and be healthy - 'get education, not vegetation,'" which is a theme for the program.
The mentors say that by the end of the week, many of the kids are talking about going to college, so they think the program is having an effect on them.
Sixth-grader Chris Liu said at the end of his week, "I like going to college. I want to get a good job and be a scientist. I'd like to work hard and get a scholarship. All the staff here tells us about the opportunity. They say going to college is a choice."
The program was made possible by a grant of new stimulus funds from Nevada Works, and with the assistance of the Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows, a partner in the program with the College of Business' Small Business Development Center.

China has banned a meeting by AIDS activists on the rights of people with the disease.
The conference would have brought together 50 Chinese and foreign experts and activists to discuss how to press the legal rights of people with HIV/AIDS.
But Chinese government authorities told the Asian Catalyst group to cancel the meeting planned for early August in Guangzhou near Hong Kong.
China had 203,527 officially registered cases of HIV/AIDS by the end of April, up from 183,733 at the end of October 2006. Of the latest figure, 52,480 had progressed to full-blown AIDS.
But the UN estimates the true number of HIV/AIDS cases in the country to be around 650,000.
Beijing now backs campaigns to educate citizens on avoiding infection, and victims infected through reckless commercial blood collection in rural Henan province have been given free medicines.
But officials in the one-party state remain wary of local activists and foreign groups pressing legal claims of infected citizens or raising official complicity in the spread of the disease.
Henan has informally blocked patients from suing officials over tainted blood.
The meeting co-organised with China Orchid AIDS Project had invited several experts from South Africa, India, the US, Canada and Thailand.
Planned topics included discrimination, blood safety and setting up a legal aid center for people with HIV/AIDS.
In May, China barred a prominent AIDS and environmental activist couple from leaving the country, accusing them of endangering national security.
Earlier in the year, Henan officials tried to stop a doctor who helped expose the rural AIDS epidemic there from going to Washington to collect a human rights award. They let her go after an international outcry.

Donald Trump has always been quick to boast that he usually gets what he wants.
But when the real estate developer and TV celebrity once asked the producer of "The Simpsons" for the honor of a guest appearance on the long-running show - a coveted recognition for so many celebrities and cultural icons - he was apparently turned down, according to the Wrap.
"The Simpsons" executive producer Al Jean recalled the episode Saturday during the show's panel at Comic-Con in San Diego after an audience member asked if the series had ever turned down a celebrity who had asked to voice a character, the Wrap reported.

The mother of a teenager who was found hanged in his cell at a young offenders' institute has slammed prison chiefs after a report revealed huge failings at the facility.
Following a damming report by the chief inspector of prisons, Liz Hardy, whose son Jake died in 2012, has hit out at those running Hindley Young Offenders' Institute near Wigan.
Nick Hardwick's report criticised the facility following the unannounced inspection in May this year.
Jake, of Stonegravels, Chesterfield, was serving a sentence for affray and assault when he hanged himself in his cell in 2012.
An inquest jury concluded earlier this year that the 17-year-old died four days later from his own deliberate act but found multiple failings by staff contributed to his death after he had been bullied by inmates.
Liz, who has been campaigning for improvements in prison services ever since his death, said: "Reading this report, it appears that not enough has changed at Hindley, two-and-a-half years on from my son dying.
"It is distressing knowing that another family may have to go through the heartache we had to suffer."
Inspectors found that, despite significant improvements, Hindley was still struggling to keep some of the boys it held safe. There had been 251 reports of bullying and 167 self-harm incidents in the previous six months. On average, there was a fight or assault every day. Inspectors also found there had been a number of incidents of boys being strip-searched while being restrained. The prison service refused to comment.

Center for Energy and Environmental Studies (CEES)
Research Development and Governmental Contracting Services
The Center for Energy and Environmental Studies (CEES) is a premier self-funded entity for research and contracting opportunities, located on the campus of Southern University Baton Rouge. CEES is a division of The Office Research and Strategic Initiatives. The center was developed in 1986 with the purpose of promoting interdisciplinary research and coordinating environmental energy curricula development activities. CEES has served as a catalyst and foundation for the growth and development of contracting initiatives at the university, such as the DoD Mentor Protégé Program. The success of this program opened the door to today's contracting initiatives at the university. Securing over twenty five million dollars in contracts and partnerships with various federal, state, and private agencies, the Center has helped the university position itself as one of the leading Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) who can successfully respond to the contracting needs of the federal government.
CEES is one of few centers at a Historically Black College and University to serve as a prime contractor on three federal Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts with the US Army Corps of Engineers and subcontractor on fifty plus contracts with agencies such as the US Air Force, US Navy, NASA, US Department of Agriculture, Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality and Department of Health and Hospitals.
Contracting initiatives have helped to support and elevate the univeristy's capabilities and infrastructure. The center extends its contracting mangement services to departments throughout the campus. Through these partnerships, CEES has been able to engage faculty from the College of Engineering, College of Business, Center for Social Research, Department of Computer Science, and SU Agricultrue and Research Extension Center.

Congressional Panel Faults Slow Progress of Mortgage Modification Program
The Obama administration's program to help people avoid foreclosures is on track to only help between 700,0000 and 800,000 homeowners and not the 3 million to 4 million that officials targeted, a Congressional panel concluded in a report released today.
The report by the Congressional Oversight Panel concluded that the Home Affordable Modification Program made economic sense but was hampered by the complexity of mortgages.
"A major reason is that mortgages are, in practice, far more complicated than a one-to-one relationship between borrower and lender,'' the report concludes. "Another major obstacle is that many borrowers have second mortgages from lenders who may stand to profit by blocking the modification of the first mortgage.''
The Obama administration has projected that by the end of 2012 there may have been as many as 8 million to 13 million foreclosures.
The report also concluded that the Treasury Department has done an inadequate job of collecting and analyzing data on the program and lacks the capacity collect data on HAMP's add-on programs.
The COP was set up as part of the 2008 law passed by Congress at the height of the financial crisis aimed at helping troubled financial institutions and consumers. It is the law that set up the Troubled Asset Relief Program. HAMP was set up with $50 billion in TARP funds.

Victoria Beckham is a busy woman these days! Not only is she a doting mother to four beautiful babes but she is also busy promoting her latest collection Victoria by Victoria Beckham during New York's Fashion Week – with 2-month-old Harper close by her side.
The 37-year-old fashion designer recently opened up to U.K.'s Telegraph about the act of balancing motherhood and work.
"I've had to develop a very strategic way of working," the beautiful brunette divulges. "But Harper has also done her bit. She's so well behaved."
The fabulous fashionista continues to share that although she loves her sons Brooklyn , 12, Romeo, 9, and Cruz, 6, to pieces, they were definitely more of a handful than her darling 2-month-old daughter Harper.
"Listen, I've earned an easy one. Those boys – obviously I love them to bits – but they were hard work."
As for getting rid of those pesky maternity clothes, Victoria claims that "it's actually quite nice to get out of an elasticated waist and into fashionable clothes again."
She may want to reconsider ditching the maternity wear. Her handsome hubby David Beckham recently revealed the he wouldn't mind adding a fifth child to their gorgeous group.
If we were lucky enough to have another one, it would be great. We always spoke about having a big family. We love children. We are very blessed to have four healthy children so if one comes along that would be amazing."

Congressman Barney Frank today released the following statement in response to the announcement by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the New England Fisheries Management Council (NEFMC) of further, deep cuts in catch allocations for cod, haddock, yellowtail flounder and American plaice.
We received advance notice of the cuts and already we are meeting with industry and working on two fronts to address this crisis.
First, we will find out what legal authority exists to reduce the severity of the cuts.
Second, given that some cuts appear to be inevitable, we will try to formulate plans for the federal government to alleviate the economic damage, just as it has done for farmers in the case of drought.

Get smart on these emerging players in the eClinical arena fast. As you'll see in the list of companies below, several of the top Big Pharma, biotech and device companies have been early adopters of these companies' software. We used the term "eClinical" broadly to describe firms with software that addresses many different types of issues for companies involved in clinical research.
Indeed, life sciences companies are straining for new ways to conduct their operations and clinical trials more efficiently, as bloated R&D budgets in particular have come under fire on Wall Street and in the front offices of the companies themselves. For eClinical products to, say, drop the cost of a clinical trial by mere 3 percent might save a developer big bucks. But those products have to be differentiated from the rest, and the unique value drivers of each firms' technology was a huge consideration in including them in this report.
While a few of the companies below have solid customer rosters, others have only recently entered the race with new software for use in clinical development. Please don't consider this list to be comprehensive; it's, we hope, just a taste of the hot eClinical outfits out there making waves in the marketplace. FierceBiotech IT will be surveying the landscape of these and other emerging eClinical companies daily.

FORT BEND COUNTY, Texas - More state troopers and local law enforcement officers will be out on the roads this Fourth of July weekend looking for drunk drivers.
Investigators told Local 2 this will be the largest "no refusal" effort Fort Bend County has ever seen.
"Basically we're trying to spread no refusal all over Southeast Texas, because it's been such a successful program in finding and convicting drunk drivers and making the roads safer," said Warren Diepraam with the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office.
"No refusal" means a driver pulled over for suspicion of driving while intoxicated must provide police with a breath or blood sample.
If the driver refuses, a warrant will be issued that gives law enforcement officials the authority to collect the sample anyway.
Officers in Harris, Fort Bend and Montgomery Counties will be enforcing the "no refusal" weekend through Sunday.
Montgomery County is so serious about cracking down on drunk drivers, they've even doubled the fines for offenders. Instead of the typical $750 fine, violators could end up paying as much as $1,800 if they're caught over the July Fourth holiday weekend.
"In Montgomery County, our DWI fatality rate is down about 50 percent since we started no refusal on a significant basis," Diepraam said. "This is one of the deadliest times of the year to be out on the roads. We want people to get out and celebrate and have fun, and not have to worry about a drunk driver coming along and taking out a family."

Difference between 'Restore' and 'DFU' modes
This isn't made very clear - and was the source of your trouble (and mine!)
'Restore' mode is where you have a picture on the screen, showing a USB cable heading towards the iTunes logo.
'DFU' mode involves a blank screen. DFU mode is a necessary part of the process, although I'm unsure exactly what happens in this mode.
I took several attempts on my Mk1 iPhone before I appreciated this difference, although to be fair, the Pwnage tool does attempt to help you get your phone into DFU mode.
Users need to know about the two modes, and not to confuse them!

The Xbox 360 deal only applies to the 4gb Xbox 360 Kinect bundle. It's $299.99, which is the normal price. However, during this week you also get a $50 Toys R Us gift card that's good towards a future purchase. That gift card will be good until March 31, 2012.
There are also 11 DS, Wii and Xbox 360 games that are on sale this week.
- The Black Eyed Peas Experience (Wii) – $39.99

All of those games and all in-stock game accessories are 20% off this week. This promotion went on last week as well, so if you missed it then, you can take advantage of it now.

Artists need time, free and clear of day-to-day obligations, to research new ideas, make work (or just stand back to think about making work), and experiment in their practice. 3Arts Residency Fellowships are designed to help artists have the space to test their mettle, see what happens, and take a breath within environments and communities that are both restorative and stimulating.
An International Network of 3Arts Fellowships
Each year, 3Arts awardees and fellows are eligible to apply for all-expenses-paid, monthlong residencies, which include a stipend and airfare, at one of four partner sites through a program managed by the Alliance of Artists Communities. Residencies are fully-accessible and open to artists in dance, music, teaching arts, theater, and visual arts.
Read our announcement about the artists selected for residency fellowships in 2017-18 at the following sites:
The Camargo Foundation, Cassis, France (2 Fellowships)
Djerassi Resident Artists Program, Woodside, California (1 Fellowship)
Joan Mitchell Center, New Orleans, Louisiana (2 Fellowships)
The Rauschenberg Residency, Captiva, Florida (2 Fellowships)
Learn more about these fellowships, including application details and deadlines, by clicking HERE.
3Arts Fellowship at The MacDowell Colony
In 2016-17, 3Arts launched a partnership with The MacDowell Colony to offer a 3Arts Residency Fellowship at this prestigious residency based in New Hampshire. 3Arts awardees and fellows are eligible to apply for one all-expenses-paid, monthlong residency, including a stipend and airfare. Residencies are fully-accessible and open to artists in dance, music, teaching arts, theater, and visual arts.
Located on 450 woodland acres in Peterborough, New Hampshire, The MacDowell Colony welcomes more than 275 architects, composers, filmmakers, interdisciplinary artists, theatre artists, visual artists, and writers each year. Many of the artists MacDowell has served—including Aaron Copland, Michael Chabon, Sheri Fink, Louise Erdrich, and Oscar Hijuelos—came to the Colony when they were still emerging in their fields.
3Arts Fellowship at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC)
Since 2015, 3Arts offers an unprecedented, customized in-town residency fellowship in partnership with UIC for artists with disabilities. For the inaugural year, two past 3Arts awardees were invited to apply; following this pilot, the process was opened to artists with disabilities in the Chicago metropolitan area.
The fellowship supports the creation of new work in residencies that increase the conversation around disability culture on- and off-campus. In addition to determining their own artistic goals, fellows may opt to teach master classes, take part in critiques, work in tandem with students and faculty, conduct research, and access UIC's tremendous resources. Learn more.
This project is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts to 3Arts. 3Arts is proud to partner with Bodies of Work and UIC's Department of Disability and Human Development to present these unprecedented fellowships in support of disability culture.

It was no surprise late last month when Orange County billionaire George Argyros was named the likely next U.S. ambassador to Spain. For months, rumors have circulated through Washington, D.C., and California political circles that Argyros—a man who has no obvious diplomatic skills but is a prodigious Republican contributor—would nab a plum government post under President George W. Bush. Nevertheless, reporters at both the Orange County edition of the Los Angeles Times and The Orange County Register bungled a surprisingly simple story.
On March 28, Times political reporter Jean O. Pasco cited two unnamed Argyros friends contacted by the U.S. State Department in the course of a "routine" background check on Argyros for an "unspecified ambassadorship." It's unclear why Pasco—a longtime favorite of local Republican strategists—failed to mention Spain. Three days earlier, the Baltimore Sun had reported what political insiders had been confidently saying for weeks: Argyros will probably go to Spain. Even a March 28 United Press International report from Washington noted that he was the "ambassador designee to Spain."
The next day, Register political reporter Martin Wisckol followed up with his own Argyros story, acting as if he hadn't seen Pasco's article. "United Press International on Wednesday reported the appointment," wrote Wisckol, "and several of Argyros' friends said he has been under consideration."
But even a ninth grade journalism class would be startled by the most egregious omission in the Argyros coverage: Argyros is currently under investigation by the district attorney's consumer-protection unit.
But never mind the facts. Both Pasco and Wisckol touted the businessman as a civic hero unblemished by scandal or wrongdoing. Argyros is merely, they noted, chairman of the Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace and of Chapman University's trustee board; onetime owner of AirCal and the Seattle Mariners; and the man behind efforts to build an international commercial airport at the former El Toro Marine Corps Air Station.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
But in addition to these civic achievements, Argyros' flagship business, Arnel Management Co. of Costa Mesa, is being investigated by the DA's consumer-protection unit. County prosecutors say they found thousands of incidents in which the property-management company used a "systematic rip-off" scheme to overcharge tenants for repairs, shortchange them on deposit refunds and bill them for fictitious expenses. Late last month, lawyers filed a class-action suit to recover money on behalf of residents in 18 local Arnel apartment complexes.
Though they portray themselves as fiercely independent, Orange County's two daily newspapers have long and shameful histories when it comes to protecting local political heavyweights. For example, Pasco's Times ignored the DA's undeniably noteworthy investigation into Arnel for 16 days. (Last year, the Times also remained silent for more than six months on serious corruption charges against former Huntington Beach Mayor Dave Garofalo.)
Wisckol's Arnel omission is more puzzling. It was his paper that broke the fraud story as front-page news in early February. In fact, he ends his story with this saccharine comment from Republican activist Mark Chapin Johnson: Argyros "has the credibility to do honor to the position."
It's no coincidence that the true depths of Argyros' "credibility" likely won't be known until after he is formally nominated. Prosecutors were set to file their lawsuit against Arnel in early February when Argyros was first pegged for the job in Madrid. But county District Attorney Tony Rackauckas—an Argyros buddy—intervened and put the case on hold. That was more than 55 days ago; Rackauckas has since acknowledged that he wants to resolve the matter privately. DA spokesperson Tori Richards declined to comment on the status of the case.

Dunn Township won't receive primary fire protection from DL
The Detroit Lakes Fire Department will not be providing Dunn Township with primary fire coverage.
Last month, Dunn Township Supervisor Mike Johnson came before the Detroit Lakes Public Safety Committee to ask that the Detroit Lakes Fire Department consider covering the Otter Tail County township.
This month, several residents voiced their opinion against that request. Some wrote letters, and some attended the Public Safety Committee meeting Monday afternoon.
"My concern is for the safety and response time for the vast majority of Dunn Township volunteers," wrote resident Steve Bergquist.
"Minutes count in an emergency. The response time will definitely be longer," Kris Dillon wrote, stating it's eight miles from Pelican Rapids to the family's cabin and 15.5 to Detroit Lakes.
Resident Timothy Such cited similar mileage issues, writing that the change in coverage gives him "grave concerns."
Residents listed response time as one of the No. 1 reasons to stay with Pelican Rapids. The issue of ownership and taxes were also reasons.
When Johnson spoke last month, he said some of the Dunn Township residents wanted the option of going with the Detroit Lakes Fire Department because Pelican Rapids was building a new fire hall and asking Dunn Township residents to pay a large portion of the building without letting Dunn Township have some ownership in it.
In response to the issue of ownership of the fire hall, both Bergquist and Dillon downplayed the fact that Dunn Township may not have ownership in Pelican Rapids' new hall.
"The city of Pelican Rapids has been more than fair in dealing with Dunn Township," Dillon wrote. "We are very confused on what this is actually all about."
Dillon added the cost of a new fire hall to Dunn Township residents would be $4.56 a year, "certainly not a hardship for most people in Dunn Township."
While that increase isn't large, Such wrote that his homeowner's insurance would be a large increase.
"My insurance premium would increase $300 per year. This would be a lifelong financial obligation that I would have no choice about assuming if the fire department service would change."
A letter from Derek and Carol Schmaltz said about 90 percent of Dunn Township is closer to Pelican Rapids than Detroit Lakes.
"Common sense tells us all the Pelican Rapids Fire Department could better serve Dunn Township for the good of all involved," Bergquist said.
When a handful of residents came to the public safety meeting, they said they felt there are two sides to the story and wanted equal representation. They said they also felt they weren't getting the entire story from Johnson.
They stated that most of the township residents were fine with the cost of the new fire hall, and ownership wasn't a big deal because they wouldn't have ownership in Detroit Lakes fire hall, either.
One more fact was Detroit Lakes Fire Department doesn't have the E911 addresses for Otter Tail County, which could increase response time as well.
Detroit Lakes Fire Chief Jeff Swanson said he wanted to clear up any misinformation and put the opposing Dunn Township people at ease, stating that the township approached him about nine months ago and he refused to talk until given the OK by City Administrator Rich Grabow.
He added that Dunn Township has approached him several times over the last 10 years about fire coverage, and he has always denied it, saying Pelican Rapids was providing service.
This time he agreed to talk with the township, with Grabow and the city's blessing, simply because he was under the impression that the township was concerned that the cost of their fire coverage may double with the building of a new fire hall.
"We were just trying to be nice guys," he said.
He said he didn't know until last month when Johnson spoke at the Public Safety Committee that Pelican Rapids was going to charge the residents basically the same amount Detroit Lakes would, around $48,000.
Once he heard the amounts were the same, Swanson said he was not in favor of even offering the fire coverage.
"We're stepping out of negotiations because Pelican Rapids is giving you a fair price and fair coverage," he said.
Mayor Larry Buboltz agreed, saying the city and fire department was "unwilling to provide that service."
Swanson said it was a win-win situation as far as he was concerned. Detroit Lakes will still have mutual aid with Pelican Rapids.
"Please understand and consider the turmoil and hard feelings this has created for the volunteers of the Pelican Rapids Fire Department, people of Pelican Rapids, Dunn Township and surrounding area," Dillon wrote.
Understood. Considered. Agreed.

How would you describe this band?

Mark Heath
from IP address 22.214.171.124
Dear VRF'ers
I got this 93150 last week from eBay UK and it was described as..."There is some wear and stretch as would be expected as shown in the photo, but I am told that it is not excessive"
The pics didn't show half as much stretch as you can see from my pics below but maybe I should have asked for further pics before I purchased.
My questions to any knowledgeable members who could advise are as follows:
-- does this band have "some wear and stretch" or is it super over stretched?
-- I am by nature not one to go to dispute, so my alternative would be to tighten the band. Is this possible, and if so, any idea on cost? I am in the South of England
Many thanks VRF'ers!

Enlargement of graphic and separation to A4 and A3 pieces of paper for printing
Presupuesto $10-30 AUD
Enlarge a black line map of Indonesia with its 34 provinces (supplied) to roughly 2.5 meters long. Divide the map so that each province can be printed on a separate piece of paper, A4 to A3 in size, with a solid geographic border (or group of islands) for each.
The goal is for students to work on a print-out province each and then create a collage map (like a big jigsaw).
The original map file is a JPEG but I'm happy for you to source an alternate one if that's easier (as long as it has the 34 provinces!)
In enlarging the graphic, the borders may become pixelated. They need to be blackened so that it can be printed easily (in b&w).
Each province needs to be named, either as the file name or as text as a footnote on the new A4 or A3 graphic (so we know which one is which!).
The scale of each province map needs to be the same (to re-assemble the jigsaw).

An education at a top-rated, private liberal arts college such as Mount Holyoke is one of the most worthwhile investments you will ever make. Outstanding professors, small classes, sophisticated technology and facilities, cutting-edge academic and student programs - all these elements come with a price. Yet studies show that an education at a top-rated, private liberal arts college is one of the most worthwhile investments you will ever make.
Note: Per state regulation, health insurance, not included in the costs listed above, is mandatory for all students. Students who are U.S. citizens or who hold U.S. permanent residency status may waive the health insurance premium with proof of comparable insurance coverage. The premium is $1,930 for the academic year, 2017-18.
The staff in Student Financial Services works closely with students and their families to make a Mount Holyoke education affordable, whether or not they are eligible for financial aid. We participate in a number of parent financing plans and offer a monthly payment plan and tuition prepayment option.
When planning how to finance your education, it is important to plan your expenses for four years. While the college makes every effort to keep costs down, you should expect increases from year to year.

October 2002
AM: Tell us about E-Markets, Inc.
Then, in 1998, we brought process efficiencies to input ordering by developing the first Internet-based agricultural input ordering system, enabling real-time seed ordering and inventory management for Croplan Seed Genetics.
In 2000, we developed the first Internet-based risk management tool enabling hundreds of elevators throughout the country to increase forward-contracted bushels while, at the same time, helping their customers capture more value in the grain markets. We also introduced the first online attribute-based grain exchange in 2000 enabling businesses like Bunge North America to improve transactional efficiencies with traditional trading partners.
AM: What new products or services are you offering?
SC: Recently, we launched the Harvest Edge newsletter to provide retailers throughout the country with valuable content and commentary from Duane Lowry's Early Market News and Marcus Weather, Inc. The newsletter also features articles with the latest developments relating to agronomy and technol��gy. Today, more than 4,000 retailers read the newsletter, and the circulation base continues to grow daily. This fall, we will launch the Harvest Edge Retailer Sponsorship program. Retailers will have the opportunity to send a sponsored version of the newsletter containing their business name and company logo directly to their farmers/customers.
The next step in the evolution of our core business will involve the acquisition and development of ag retail accounting software systems. As we work with retailers using our systems, they continually struggle with the difficulty of single-entry interfaces to suppliers' systems. There is so much information available over the Web. With the addition of Web services and Web enablement, we will open up a new level of supply chain management with the full retail-to-manufacturer solution.
AM: What is your view on the future of the Internet within agriculture?
SC: The value of a lost customer used to be far more than the cost of double handling inventory. Ag input margins are shrinking and volume is decreasing. The net effect on the ag chemical market is a 15 to 20 percent decrease in revenue. The whole ag input supply chain has to start looking at the cost of doing business and start cutting out duplication and extensive inventories.
Whether government oversight, biosecurity or good stewardship is the impetus, the industry has to start tracking the movement of products of risk through the system.
Taking a look at the consumer products industry would suggest that vendor-managed and just-in-time inventories will create significant efficiencies and decrease cost substantially.
The solutions to all these initiatives involve the Internet. The Internet is not about doing business over a Web site because you are afraid of another company stealing your customer. The Internet is about transacting business more efficiently while still talking to our customer. We just cannot afford to keep transacting business the way we do today.
Be it Web enablement, Web services, system integrations or business messaging, the Internet plays the key role in cost control and supply chain management.
AM: How does your company differ from the competition?
SC: No other company does what we do in agriculture. Our company is made up of employees who know agriculture, and agriculture is where we focus our efforts.
In most cases, our main competitor is the potential clients' internal IT staffs. Many times our customers will spend a great deal of time trying to decide whether they can build a platform themselves. As a third-party provider, we complement and provide support to the current systems internal IT staffs manage. We help by preventing potential access from outside users to the back-office systems and increasing the security around the customers' system. Also, because our base systems are repeatable across many customers, we help our clients save time and money by eliminating the need to reinvent the wheel or to make a large investment in the infrastructure needed to maintain applications like ours.

Q: Recently I ate at a very nice restaurant and had the smoked-salmon appetizer. The appetizer was thinly sliced, velvety in texture and had a very nice flavor. It was just like lox. So my question is: What is the difference between smoked salmon and lox?
A: Back in the '20s, salmon shipped to the mainland from Alaska was heavily salted in order to preserve it, since there was no such thing as refrigerated air shipping. To remove the brine, the fish then had to be soaked in cold water. The result was called lox, either after the German word for salmon, which is lachs, or the Scandinavian word for it, which is lax.
Nowadays, lox is supposed to be salmon that has been brine-cured and then cold-smoked a process that calls for exposing the salted, water-soaked salmon to smoke at temperatures between 70 and 90 degrees for a long time (anywhere from one day to three weeks). Since the fish has already been brine-cured, you dont need heat; the smoking at this point is mostly for flavor. In fact, the smoke in a cold smoker is pumped through a filter that keeps heat from being a factor.
Not about a Restaurant
Smoked salmon, on the other hand, is supposed to be salmon thats been hot-smoked a process that calls for smoke at above 120 degrees. Hot smoking takes anywhere from six to twelve hours, and this fish can be salted first, too.
"Nova" or Nova Scotia salmon usually refers to lox that has been brine-cured and then cold-smoked and is usually less salty than lox, but it also can refer to salmon thats simply been cold-smoked. The problem is that this country is pretty lax with its lox regulations, and sometimes hot-smoked salmon is labeled "nova" as well. Further confusing matters are restaurants that say they have "house-smoked" salmon, which can mean anything from curing it with some type of marinade, such as salted tequila or honey-sweetened lime juice, to the use of an actual cold or hot smoker in the kitchen. And then theres the ever-popular gravlax, salmon cured Swedish style, with dill, salt, sugar and peppercorns.

When ordering, your best bet is to ask how the salmon was smoked, and that will tell you if its going to have a soft, supple, slightly oily texture and a sweeter flavor (as in lox or cold-smoked nova) or a consistency similar to that of a cooked piece of salmon and a heavy smoky flavor, which would be more in keeping with the drier, hot-smoked variety.

It's a known fact that there's a lot of UK in LA, and not just the actors who live here for access to the entertainment industry. BritWeek annually showcases British industry, fashion, food, and other sectors that are alive and vigorous within the Golden State's boundaries.
And while people and their interests can and do travel to and from California, stained glass windows found in the celebrated ancient cathedrals most certainly do not. One must go to Canterbury Cathedral if one wants to see Canterbury Cathedral, goes the old saying (or that's how the old saying should go, anyway).
But a stunning segment of one of the world's best-known buildings -- best-known for several reasons, but let's lay the thanks at Geoffrey Chaucer's feet in part -- will be winging towards The Getty Center in September. Six stained glass figures from Canterbury Cathedral will go on display from Friday, Sept. 20 through Sunday, Feb. 2.
The windows, which are from The Ancestors of Christ series, are some of the earliest to be found at the Cathedral; they survived a 1174 fire and a long-ago Cathedral re-design. So how are such rarities on their way to LA? The Great South Window of Canterbury Cathedral is undergoing "conservation on the architectural framing."
Meaning that, yes, the window will one day return to its home at the World Heritage Site.
But medieval mavens have another treat in store: The St. Albans Psalter, from about 1130, will be displayed in conjunction with the Canterbury window. The "lavishly decorated manuscript" is on loan to the Getty from The Cathedral Library in Hildesheim, Germany.
Fans of Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales," architectural students, and lovers of glassworks, it turns out, don't always have to make the pilgrimage to Canterbury to experience the cathedral. Or at least a hue-pretty, history-filled stained-glass panels, a rare and rarely moved artwork that'll call sunny SoCal home for a few months.
As lively and iconclastic as Chaucer was, this is one curious plot twist not found within his famous tales.

If you respond to your own answer....
If you respond to your own answer, the chances of you getting an answer from someone else is less likely. However to answer your question, credit accounts that are able to be included in a bankruptcy are reported on your credit report for upto 7 years after your last payment, or in some states, up to 7 years after your last payment arrangement. The open date of the account is typically only counted towards your age of credit accounts; meaning if the account is in good condition, the older the account is, the better it is for your credit score.
I hope this help, and if it does, please thumbs up.

Hacked the Twitter account of an anime related site I follow.
This is a paid 'membership' for both training material and a potential client list. Like anything you buy, including training courses, there is no guarantee that you will (1) use the lessons as intended, (2) agree with the teacher on the information presented. Either way, as someone familiar with those persons that are without clue on how to enter the realm of social media for their business, this training material and membership offered a GUIDE for folk like myself. I know how to build a blog (Wordpress, Joomla, et.al.), how to setup Twitter, Facebook, and Google accounts, but it takes time and effort to connect with folk that (1) own a business AND (2) dislike social media. When I found this info, my primary interest was a more efficient source in finding potential clients. It remains to be determined if I will recover my costs. However, at worst, I can claim it as a business expense and accept a lost. At best, I can increase my income by taking advantage of marketing done my a source other than myself.
This is real site... one of the top money earning site..

Sean Lee explains why some Cowboys are in awe of Brian Waters
Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee joined Ben & Skin on KRLD-FM. Here are some highlights.
Have you seen Brian Waters lift weights?
Sean Lee: No I have not, but I've heard a lot of rumors going around. Apparently, when he first got in the weight room, one of our coaches asked him, 'well, what do you want to put on the bar?' He said 315. He's like, 'Oh, you want to go to 315?' He said, 'No I want to warm up with 315.' I think he worked up into the low 400s and casually hit five or six reps, racked it and walked away. He just casually pumped it out, no big deal, set it up, walked out. Everybody was just kind of in awe. But that's why he's been a great player, why he's been around so long ... because of how strong he is.
On Kansas City and running back Jamaal Charles
Sean Lee: We understand the talent that Kansas City has, that Charles has. It's going to have to be a complete defensive effort, running to the football, gang tackling. This guy, he's explosive. If we don't all run to the football, he's going to make guys miss and he can take it all the way.

Department of Viticulture and Enology
Cantu, an assistant professor in the Department of Viticulture and Enology, is a systems biologist. Cantu completed his Ph.D. in plant biology at UC Davis in 2009 and was a postdoctoral fellow in genomics and bioinformatics in the Dubcovsky lab before joining the CA&ES faculty in 2012.
Research interests:
Plant diseases, plant genomics, fungal genomics, plant genetics, plant resistance to pathogens, pathogen evolution, fungicide resistance, fruit ripening and quality.
Brief overview:
More than one-third of crop production worldwide is destroyed annually by plant diseases caused by parasitic microorganisms. Genetic resistance is the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly method for controlling plant diseases. Epidemics caused by aggressive strains of plant pathogens that evolve new mechanisms to overcome currently deployed genetic resistance and disease control strategies pose a continual threat to food security.
My research group uses genomics, genetics, and bioinformatics to understand plant disease resistance and how pathogenic microorganisms infect plants, cause disease, and evolve to overcome plant host resistance and chemical control strategies. Our integrated, systems-oriented approach provides a novel framework for the development of strategies to achieve durable genetic resistance in important cultivated plant species, such as grape, coffee, cocoa, wheat, and tomato.
Current projects:
- Identification of mechanisms of pathogenicity and fungicide resistance in plant pathogens
- Characterization and exploitation of mechanisms of plant resistance to pathogens
- Biology of molecular networks regulating fruit development and fruit susceptibility to pathogens
