Judith Page MimsWhitlock
Judith Page Mims Whitlock passed away January 21, 2012. Judy was born on May 20, 1926, in Luray, Virginia. She was the fourth daughter of Ralph E. and Josephine Nichols Mims.
She was the salutatorian in the 1943 graduating class of Luray High School where she was on the varsity tennis and basketball teams. Her beauty and talent earned her the title of Miss Page County. At the Mimslyn Inn, which was built by her family in 1931, she enjoyed horseback riding and other activities. After attending the College of William and Mary for two years, she transferred to the University of Virginia. While there, she met her future husband, and fellow student W. Carl Whitlock Jr. who had served as a Naval Aviator in the Pacific during World War II. They married in 1947 and raised four sons.
After moving to North Carolina in 1953, her husband had a 30 year career with the DuPont Company. While living in North Carolina, Judy was an active member of St. Mary's Episcopal Church and the Eastern Carolina Women's Tennis League. She raised her four sons to be strong, independent individuals. She loved going to the N.C. beaches as well as her family's summer house on the Shenandoah River in Page County, Va.
After her husband's retirement in 1982, they moved to Charlottesville. They lived in the 1926 home by the University of Virginia where her husband had been raised. They soon became members of the Boar's Head Sports Club where she once again excelled at tennis. Judy continued to travel to Wrightsville Beach where two of her sons had beach cottages. She also loved being closer to the Shenandoah River house and the families of her two sons who live in Ivy.
Judy had a great sense of humor and was a very authentic person. She was very outgoing and loved to travel. Her many erudite aphorisms, often called "Nana-isms," have been passed down to the next generation and will be part of her legacy.
Judy is survived by her husband, W. Carl Whitlock Jr. of Charlottesville; her sister, Patricia Mims Moore of Medford, Oregon; her four sons, Lawrence and his wife Priscilla of Ivy, Allan of Hillsborough, N.C., William and his wife Rebecca of Greensboro, N.C., and Mason and his wife Anne of Ivy; one granddaughter, Keller of Ivy; six grandsons, Benjamin and his wife Elizabeth of Wilmington, N.C., Austin of Charlottesville, Matthew of Philadelphia, Pa., Brian and Stephen of Greensboro, N.C., and Foster of Ivy; and one great-grandson Carter of Wilmington, N.C.; as well as many nieces and nephews.

WILLIS Meehan was sure he was in trouble.
Why else would Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson leave a phone message last Tuesday for the to call him?
"I was wondering if this was going to be good or if it was going to be bad,'' Meehan said. Turns out it was good.
Meehan was chosen as 18th man and will suit up alongside captain Anthony Minichiello, who is almost double the teenager's age, when the Roosters face the Storm at AAMI Park.
He is the son and sparring partner of Aussie heavyweight boxer Kali Meehan, who won the Super 8 heavyweight title in Auckland last Wednesday night.
Young Meehan is unlikely to get a run against the Storm today. But this is a name you will see in weeks to come.
And if Meehan fulfils his ambition and potential, which is without question given his intimidating 1.95m and 115kg frame, this young Rooster might find himself at the 2016 Rio Olympics as a boxer.
Having narrowly missed selection for Australia's Commonwealth Games boxing team for Glasgow next month, losing his first fight in 22 bouts — when he went down to Queensland's Joseph Goodall in April — Meehan is even more determined to become the first NRL player to compete at an Olympics.
"The loss was a big wake-up call for me as a fighter.
"Hopefully, I'll be better next time,'' Meehan said.
"Olympic trials start early next year, so that will come real quick. You've got to be ready for this stuff.
"It's the highest possible thing you can do in amateur boxing and it's every amateur's boxing dream to win a medal, or go to the Olympics.
"The Roosters have been so supportive of my footy and my boxing, too. They know it's been a focus of mine for a while now.''
Roosters fans should have no fears that Meehan is getting ahead of himself. This Central Coast schoolboy was born to be an athlete.
He's so good that his former Roosters SG Ball coach Mark Riddell suggested to the first-grade coaching staff he was ready to pack down in NRL last year.
A powerful front-rower who has outgrown and outmuscled the Holden Cup and NSW Cup lower grades, Meehan actually began his career on the wing.
"That's where I played Australian Schoolboys with Luke Brooks (Wests Tigers halfback),'' Meehan said.
"This year, I've been stuck in the middle, bit of back-row but anywhere really.''
In Meehan, the Tri-colours have a natural talent that has all the makings of one day filling the void soon to be left by Williams' return to rugby union at the end of the season.
It's why rarely a day goes by when Meehan isn't listening, watching and trying to learn from the dual Kiwi international.
"It's so much easier having someone that has done the three sports here, I can ask him anything about it,'' Meehan said.
"He's at the top of his career at the moment and, me, I'm just, in a sense, trying to do what he's done in both sports.
"I will get on with my footy and my boxing (once he's gone), but I'll take everything he's offered me and try to do my best in both sports.
"It's like all the boys in my position like Jared and Sam (Moa) and Frank-Paul (Nuuausala), Sonny, they've always helped me out.
"They're always teaching me little things and taking me under their wing.
"I'm trying not to get too far ahead of myself, just keep training every week, stay focused and make the most of this opportunity Robbo has given me.''

An excellent idea this choice to celebrate this important day,i like the cross as a natural frame to the tombs,and the contrast between the fresh flowers and the dead leafes on the ground like a metaphore of the life.Have a nice weekend and thanks,Luciano
snunney (113721) 2013-11-01 3:02
Witaj Krzysztof,
A fine well presented composition most apt for posting on All Saints Day. The hollowed out cross makes an excellent frame for the tombs in the background. Excellent colours and lighting, very good control over depth of field.

Hi Krzysztof
an emotive and beautifully composed tribute to this significant day. All the more so for me as my dear Mother passed away on this day a few years ago now, but it seems just like yesterday to me. Love the gentle atmosphere and yet strong power of this image. Thanks.
Have a great weekend - Brian.

Witaj, Krzysztof,
Original and very interesting point of view throught the cross. Excellent frame. Is it a continuing of Helloween! very smart idea.

une superbe idée ce cadrage avec cette croix et vue sur les tombes en ce jour de la Toussaint

Czesc Krzysztof,
bardzo atrackcyjna kompozycja. Ja moglem na te okazje zaledwie pokazac jakis brytyjski cmentarz ale nie ma tu takich obchodow jak w Polsce. Bardzo ladnie to pokazales nic dodac nic ujac,
abmdsudi (63605) 2013-11-04 5:06
Hi Krzysztof
Good ideas taken from this view point and framing with good proportion of interests put together and the cemetery in the background giving the perspective. Excellent clarity and fine contrast with some bright colors to grab attention. Interesting look cemetery. Well done, TFS.
Best regards
KristinsCamera (2384) 2013-11-30 17:29
fascinating shot, Krzysztof ~ the abundance of colorful flowers might be visually overwhelming if you had not thought to cleverly expose us to just what can be seen through this open cross. a nice statement and very appealing pov/presentation, very clever.
kind regards,

- John & Cathi Drake Chair Professor of Mechanical Engineering
- PhD, State University of New York at Buffalo
Dr. Parker specializes in control system design and correlation of nonlinear dynamic models to experimental data. A key area of his research is the optimal control of microgrids with particular attention given to networked topologies. Closed loop control and real-time optimization for harmonizing use of available energy generation and storage assets, while satisfying loads, is the main theme. Applications requiring temporary or remote power motivate much of his funded research along with disaster relief scenarios. Development of a scalable, optimal control solution is critical for allowing the interconnection, in both power and communication, of separately deployed microgrids. The main challenge stems from a microgrid's ever-changing energy asset and load portfolio and their effect on the system models used for optimal planning and control system design. Rational segregation of distributed versus centralized optimization and control is another research area. In the past year Dr. Parker and his colleagues formed the Agile and Interconnected Micrgorid (AIM) Center to bring together faculty from Computer Science, Mathematics, Cognitive Sciences and Learning, Electrical and Computer Engineering and Mechanical Engineering to focus an interdisciplinary team on this technical area. More generally, nonlinear control, system simulation, nonlinear system parameter identification and optimization, are present in most of Dr. Parker's ongoing projects. Examples include active control of diesel engine aftertreatment systems and at-sea control of naval equipment.

Letter: Ideas for the economy
Dear Editor,
The stimulation! By the time this is read the American taxpayer will have bailed out some of the country's largest and wealthiest individuals and their corporations to the tune of $1.5 trillion dollars -- a figure so astronomical that only a few of President Osama's Economical Stimulus Team paid their taxes. The figure was just too mind blowing. The reason for the bailouts was to stimulate the economy and save people's homes. Or was it?
Congress is so busy saving the economy and wondering -- Who the heck voted for Pelosi -- they can't see the lobbyist for the trees. If your real objective was to jump start a sagging economy, why would you give the money to the 800-pound gorilla that created the sag? Would not a better idea be to give that money directly to the American people? One of the many alternatives was to give each taxpaying mortgage holder $4,000. The money would pay off his mortgage and credit card bills, anything left over would be returned to the government. Think about it! No mortgage or credit card payments for most of the middle class. The economy would be so stimulated, so quickly that premature stimulation could occur.
Such simple economic practices, give the money directly to the people (see Spot run economics). The problem of all the failed mortgages would be solved. The problem of all failed institutions would be solved.
Instead Congress gave the money to the boys who created the mess we are in and hoped they would do the right thing with it. Well, guess what, they did not trickle it down like the theory said. Instead they bought up smaller banks and took lavish vacations on company funds.
Don't know what the right answer is, but somebody should do something quickly. Then Congress can return their attention back to what they do best, like funding studies to try to determine why the University of Wisconsin students consume more alcohol on Homecoming weekend than the country of Lithuania does in a fiscal year.
American governmental institutions seem to have consistently run under the same basic outline or creed for a long time now -- If it's a good idea, we don't have it. Well, it's time, boys. Everybody is watching on this one; I know you won't let the American People down. That would be impossible - they don't expect anything.

DuPont Introduces Herbicide-Tolerant Sunflower Hybrids to Increase Seedoil Production
25 May 2006
DuPont has introduced the first sulfonylurea (SU)-tolerant sunflower hybrids in Europe—Pioneer-brand sunflower hybrids with the Express SX Herbicide-Tolerant trait. The goal is to increase the harvestable yield to meet the demands of producers and consumers in the oilseed market, whether for biofuels or cooking oils.
Unlike other herbicide-tolerant crops currently on the market, Express Herbicide Tolerant Sunflower seed is derived through traditional plant-breeding methods. A herbicide-tolerant trait, proprietary to DuPont, was integrated into the germplasm of Pioneer brand high-yielding sunflower hybrids.
Sulfonylureas are a potent family of herbicides that were discovered by DuPont Crop Protection in 1975 and first commercialized for wheat and barley crops in 1982. Sulfonylureas comprise a family of compounds which kill broadleaf plants by blocking the plant enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS), an enzyme important to the plant for the synthesis of some amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine).
They now have been developed and commercialized worldwide in all major agronomic crops and for many specialty uses (e.g., rangeland/pasture, forestry, vegetation management).
A joint effort between DuPont Crop Protection and DuPont subsidiary Pioneer Hi-Bred International, the sunflower hybrids provide growers with a post-emergent control option for annual broadleaf weeds, without killing the crop. Broadleaf weeds, both annual and perennial, are the leading weed spectrums affecting sunflower yields.
In the past, the lack of choice in weed control forced many sunflower farmers in Europe to rely on more expensive, less effective pre-emergent options that often did little to eliminate weed competition losses in their sunflower fields. By enhancing our industry leading sunflower products to perform effectively with our quality herbicide lineup, farmers have the potential for more yield advantages, along with improved weed control options.—Erik Fyrwald, group vice president, DuPont Agriculture & Nutrition
Already available to growers in Eastern Europe, the line of sunflower seed will be introduced in select regions of the United States for the 2007 planting season. This will coincide with the introduction of new herbicides with soluble granules, specifically created for use with sunflowers.

Why would anyone whine about this approach? You people will never be satisfied. You want a reduction of CO2 but complain windmills kill birds. You want biofuels but complain about methods for yeild improvements. Stop whining because you're holding back the entire green revolution in the US. How can we kill our addiction of fossil fuels when you can not support greener alternatives. You know there are alot more destructive ways to farm. Even organic farms spray their crops with BT and kill all your pretty butterflies. Yep BT is organic, since they isolate it not from chemicals but a living soil organism. Anyway support the green cause and quiet your ignorance because I'm tired of it. We can't fix anything if you can't accept that there are drawbacks to any feasable alternatives. BTW this sunflower is not a GMO and can be marketed as organic, thank God.
I have no problem with seeing this used on biodiesel feedstock crops. Higher yield means lower prices at the pump, and every little bit counts.
What concerns me is that DuPont is also targeting this at farmers who grow the crop for cooking oil. Spraying powerful herbicides after the crops emerge may be cheaper and do more for crop yields, but doesn't it also increase the toxin load on the food? Perhaps it's not an issue, enlighten me.
I can't consciously advocate it for the exact same reasons as Rafael's talking about, but looking out the window at the flyspeck filter of lethal carcinogens hanging over the sky in Los Angeles right now does add a sad kind of objectivity to it.
These days, life itself is just toxic. Pick your poison. We're being embalmed by our water, air and food. Sad but true.
I do not complain out bird kills by windmills. We can collect them for biology class( unless you are afraid of the flu)
Some how, it seems, scientists can do anything they want if it generates high stock price and profits. I will not bore you with the list of Envio disasters caused by this mentality.
I get very nervious about allowing even more new stuff to be sprayed, by accident on the food that I eat.
Also, all this chemical engineering is for Not, because "Life wants to live". Weeds become tolerate of the stuff and so the chemical guys have to create even more stuff- in a never ending profit/pollute cycle.
The ChemCos have been dragging the farmers around by the ir wallets for decades in the quest for better yields, turning them into chemical junkies.
In the end, poisioning our land, water and air.
As soon as I am convinced that biofuels make sense, I will consider whether or not it is worth drenching our environment with herbicides. And don't put me in the camp amongst those who are complaining about windmills vis a vis birds. Besides, modern day generators are much less harmful to bird life than previous generations. The whole concept here is to sell more hebicides and throw any notion of integrated pest management, much less organic out the window.
There is no way in hell this sunflower can be considered organic when the whole point of this sunflower is to allow the unlimited use of herbicides.
I think we need to separate bio fuels and food. Organic food sounds like a good idea (as we eat it). Organic biofuel sounds like madness. If we want biofuels, we should consider them as plant crops NOT for eating. This gives us a lot of freedom in terms of what crop we can use. [ Sawgrass for instance. ] It will probably take a bit of GM to get the optimal crop, but if we want affordable biofuels, this is what we will have to do.
Pestacide resistance may well be part of the package.
We are not going to have to eat this stuff. If you want to drive SUVs based on biofuels, this is your lot.
Else get a smaller car (diesel Yaris ?) and you might have more "eco friendly" options.
____Algae crops in barren deserts in the West(barren, not cactus). Use recycled plastics, and methods to reduce evaporation. Pipe/train tanker in CO2 from power plants/any facility that produced large quantities of CO2 for Algae. Replace imported oil/gas, then coal, then all fossil energy. Make our nation a net carbon reducer. For a soure of nitrogen, waste water treatment for cities like Las Vegas, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, etc could do a double duty. Bio-Oil exportation later. ____Combine that with large solar farms on city rooftops, southern/unobstructed sun facing facades, and in the Southwest, with a way to store the energy for non-sunny periods, and we have a way to solve our growing energy demand into the future.
____Additionally, improve the average efficiency of power plants from mid 30% to high 60%, along with co-generation of heat for commercial/residential /industrial purposes.
____Car pool incentives, congestion pricing, more X-prizes for future tech/innovations. FIX OUR HEALTH AND SCHOOL SYSTEMS SO THAT WE CAN FIX OUR FOSSIL ENERGY ADDICTION THAT IS INDUCING FORCINGS ON OUR GLOBAL CLIMATE.
The best biofuel of all is hemp. No herbicides, pesticides, irrigation, etc. Just plant the damn things dry field and they grow and then you harvest them.
Oh wait, that's right, hemp = marijuana = go to jail. Yep. Just as a pit bull = toy poodle. Same species so they must be the same thing, right?
I also don't get how opposing herbicide overuse must mean that one also doesn't like wind turbines. Must have missed that memo.

Configuration Management for RedHat - etckeeper for RH
I have a Linux mail server that is managed by several different admins in our company. Recently one of the configuration files (under the /etc directory) was changed causing a minor problem with our mail server. The change happened several weeks ago and was not apparent until later.
The problem is that no-one records changes that are made to the configuration and it's very hard/impossible to track down who made the change because everyone uses the root account. I've recently also heard of the etckeeper package from the Ubuntu server guide and was wondering if there were any similar systems for RedHat. i.e. software which allows you to put the entire '/etc' directory under version control and that integrates nicely with the package manager.
Alternatively are there any other systems, for RH in particular, which allow fine-grained control of the changes to configuration? Basically when I look at a configuration file I want to be able to see exactly when it was changed and by whom. I also really like the idea that just like in subversion you would be prompted to enter a note explaining the change every time you commit the new config.
For a single mail server, you might consider (simply) rcs for version control. I use it on all my servers. Probably not the most elegant approach, but I'm consistent about it.
As for "everyone [using] the root account", it's probably time for you to look into requiring other sysadmins to use sudo.
Thanks for the advice, we are moving to a system where everyone uses 'sudo' for sysadmin tasks. For version control, I'm a fan of subversion myself, but whatever gets the job done.
Also, as a part of searching for an solution I've come upon a system called cfengine which looks promising as a way to manage configuration on multiple machines. Has anyone had experience using this system and can you comment on how stable/usable it is?
I'm thinking of forcing all sysadmins to make changes through this system and then have them propagated to the machine(s) as a better way to make and keep track of system changes.

The joint Theater Department of the University of St. Thomas and the College of St. Catherine will present "The Two Gentlemen of Verona," at 7 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, March 15-18, in Foley Theater on the St. Thomas campus.
Tickets are $5 for general admission and free for students, faculty and staff with ID from the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (St. Thomas, St. Catherine, Augsburg College, Macalester College and Hamline University). Seating is limited; for reservations call (651) 690-6700.
Directed by Dr. Amy Kritzer, chair of the UST-CSC Theater Department, this production is a musical adaptation of Shakespeare's lively early comedy, with music by Galt McDermot and lyrics by John Guare.
"Two Gentlemen" opens as a pastoral story about two young friends — Valentine and Proteus — who travel to Milan and are educated in courtly behavior. Mayhem erupts by the third act, with Proteus — who already has a girlfriend, Julia — becoming enamoured with the fair Silvia — with whom Valentine has planned to elope. As the love entanglements ensue, the setting shifts from the civilized city to the forest, paralleling the characters' change in behavior. Throw in bandits, outlaws, disguises, stubborn parents, fun-loving servants, high-spirited antics and even a dog, and a complex but rollicking story results.
Dr. Alan Bryan of the St. Thomas Music Department is music director, and Randy Winkler is choreographer. St. Catherine student Katherine Sophia is assistant director.
The cast includes St. Thomas students Rick Linn as Valentine; Jason McCray as Proteus; Laurie Parker as Julia; Joseph Botten as Thurio; Katie Larsen as the duchess; David Ross as Launce; Andrew Benda as Speed; Andrew Robertson as Englamour; Tricia Swiderski as the milk maid; Dierdre Kennedy as the innkeeper and Chadwick Cook as Antonio. St. Catherine students in the cast are Leigha Horton as Silvia, and Molly McBride as Lucetta. The ensemble also includes St. Thomas students Kjersten Ellinson, Ali Leuthard, Courtney Sabo and Krissy Wilson, and St. Catherine students Donna Cooper and Megan Cummings.
Special guest star is Hunter the dog, whose family is that of Dr. Robert Kennedy of the St. Thomas faculty (and cast member Dierdre Kennedy, Robert's daughter). According to the director, Hunter's a natural for the role of Crab. "The Kennedys have lots of kids," director Kritzer said. "So Hunter is really mellow with this large cast. Let's hope he does as well with an audience!"
For further information, call the UST-CSC Theater Department, (651) 690-6680.

Walsh County, N.D., sheriff wins re-election, fires opponent
Walsh County Sheriff Lauren Wild won his bid for re-election Tuesday, and on Wednesday morning, he fired his opponent Ron Nord -- a deputy who had been with the sheriff's department for 19½ years.
"My reason for firing him was his tactics in the campaign," Wild said. "He was putting out some untruths."
Asked what those "untruths" were, Wild declined to elaborate, but said Nord was spreading lies to gain votes. That's an accusation Nord denies.
"I didn't cast stones, rocks or sling mud or nothing," he said. "I kept it clean."
Wild said he consulted with the state's attorney and a human resources official before firing Nord.
"Deputies work at the will of the elected official, and what I did was exercise my authority under the Century Code to remove him," Wild said.
Nord, 47, of Adams, N.D., said he plans to keep his options open.
"I have nothing to be ashamed of," Nord said. "I didn't say or do anything to embarrass him or myself or the community in any way, shape or form."
Wild, who's served as sheriff since 1989, said that prior to this election, he had never had one of his employees run against him. He said this term will be his last.
Wild got 63.5 percent of the vote Tuesday, and Nord received 36.35 percent, according to the North Dakota Secretary of State's Office.

South Park land rush to X out Rebecca's Coffeehouse?
"Right, 'Let's put in a Starbucks there.' I'd be a dead man walking."
Julie Stalmer 9:30 a.m., Nov. 17
"I felt like I needed a detox from my life," Yovana Mendoza explains early into our visit to the Hillcrest Farmers' Market, moments before cracking open a "White Genoa" fig. "I was always a really big party girl. Alcohol, not eating right, calorie restricting — very unhealthy patterns. [So] I went to the Optimum Health Institute here in San Diego. It's a detox place where you go and eat raw food and do juice cleanses. I was initially going for a week but I decided to stay two weeks because I loved it. I loved the feeling of eating raw."
That was last January, when Yovana was still living in Mexico City. Raised in San Diego and matriculated in Paris, Yovana moved back to SD last summer; today she's better known across the internet as Rawvana, one of the leading voices (in both English and Spanish) championing the low-fat raw vegan diet known as 80/10/10.
In the 80/10/10 diet, 80 percent of one's diet consists of carbohydrates from fruits, 10 percent from protein found in greens, and 10 percent from fats found in nuts and avocados. Alcohol, coffee, foods prepared over 118 degrees Fahrenheit, and (of course) animal products are contraindicated.
The upshot? Yovana reports feeling "more energy, more vitality, and very clear-minded. Some people think that you're not getting enough protein or that you're going to be weak if you eat this way, but it's the other way around." (We'd also like to add that her skin is radiant.) You'll notice that same energy electrifies her Instagram feed, a kaleidoscope of bisected watermelons, lustrous grapes, smoothies, and dragonfruit snapped against forest backdrops and city skylines.
Magnetic and cheerfully knowledgeable, Yovana met up with us at the Sunday farmers' market in the Hillcrest neighborhood of San Diego. As we wandered in and out of the vendor tents, we talked smoothies, sniffed peppers, and shopped for the raw vegan feast that Yovana would make for us later that day.
"Most of the day I'm eating fruit, three to four pounds, depending how active I am," says Yovana. A typical daily menu might look like this: first thing in the morning, she drinks two liters of water infused overnight with lemon, oranges, and mint; about 30 minutes later, breakfast might be half a watermelon or a whole honeydew ("something really refreshing and hydrating"); a post-gym smoothie includes four bananas blended with celery in the Vitamix.
Lunch is often a "monomeal" — that is, "I pick one type of fruit and eat that until I'm satisfied. The other day I had ten peaches for lunch so I took a picture of that and put it up." More fruit precedes dinner and dinner itself might be a yummy zucchini pasta on a bed of greens and topped with a spicy tomato dressing, the same dish we would prepare that afternoon. Yovana buys most of her produce wholesale from Specialty Produce, which gives her a discount because she buys "in boxes, in bulk."
She started blogging last spring, which eventually led to her popular YouTube channel featuring videos in both English and Spanish. The idea to go public with her lifestyle — including the "Rawvana" name — was kindled at a wedding in Mexico City.
"As soon as I arrived at the wedding everybody [was saying], 'Oh, you look so good, you look amazing. What are you doing?' Because I'd lost a little bit of weight. I started telling them about my new lifestyle, that I'm only eating raw fruits and vegetables and that I'd decided not to drink. One of my best friends started calling me 'Rawvana' at the wedding."
Despite that enthusiasm (and over 10,000 followers on Instagram), Yovana says she doesn't "have that many friends here who follow my lifestyle." When she goes out to eat, "I might bring dates in my bag. Sometimes even a banana."
During our interview, she was preparing to leave for an internship with Dr. Douglas Graham, who literally wrote the book on the 80/10/10 diet. Thankfully, before she left for Washington, Yovana made a spectacular lunch for us, a tribute to her current interest in dressings and everlasting love for pepper: "I always use serrano. That's my staple — because I'm Mexican, and we love spicy," she says.

When news broke yesterday that former Strikeforce lightweight champ Josh Thomson had been forced to withdraw from Strikeforce's September 10 show in Cincinnati it may have left Zuffa officials scrambling for a suitable replacement. Enter Pat Healy, a seasoned veteran with wins in a number of significant scraps.
"Bam Bam" went on Twitter last night to let the MMA community, and his bosses, know that he'll be more than happy to slide into Thomson's spot opposite streaking newcomer Maximo Blanco.
"Hit up Strikeforce and let them know you wanna see me step in," Healy wrote. The 28-year old has only fought twice in the last year despite being healthy and had previously expressed a desire to fight two more times before the end of 2011.
Healy is coming off back-to-back wins including success against then-undefeated Lyle Beerbohm in February and an outpointing of Eric Wisely in his most recent bout. The Team Quest product is 25-16 in his career with past victories over the likes of Dan Hardy, Paul Daley, and Carlos Condit.

* Prices may differ from that shown
I never actually intended on buying one of these little gems, but after a hands-on demonstration in John Lewis from an enthusiastic salesman, I was sold and £800 the poorer, I walked out with my new HP Touchsmart under my arm.
In general it has been fantastic, the touch screen, although far from necessary - more a gimic than anything, is nonetheless great fun to play with (and show off with to your friends) and has come in very handing when drawing pictures/logos when you need to explain your idea to someone. That is certainly something you can't do with a conventional laptop and it avoids time-consuming scanning.
I would also say that the sound quality (Altec Lancing) and visual display are very also very good and being able to swivel the screen does often come in handy in the office, but let's face it, is it really necessary?!
I have had problems with viruses (probably my fault) and a couple of times, the laptop seemed to refuse to switch on, but later began behaving itself so be wary of that.
Overall I would recommend buying one of these touchsmart devices if you are looking for a highly portable laptop with loads of interesting and fun features. It would be particularly useful for graphic designers. However if you are price conscious then you could get an equally powerful laptop for about half the price and you simply need to decide, how much do I really need touchscreen....

On the outskirts of London, in 1918, Andreas Obry, a werewolf, awakens his master, Hungarian vampire Armand Tesla, to report that the vampire's latest victim is being kept alive at a nearby sanitarium run by Lady Jane Ainsley. At the sanitarium, Lady Jane and her friend, Professor Walter Saunders, examine a slide of blood drawn from their nearly bloodless patient. After the woman dies hysterically screaming, Saunders reads an article by Hungarian Tesla, a respected scientist, about the dead returning from the grave. As Saunders reads the treatise, Tesla steals into the professor's granddaughter Nicki's room. The next morning, Saunders discovers two puncture marks on the girl's throat and realizes that she has become the vampire's latest victim. Knowing that Nicki's salvation lies in the destruction of the vampire, Saunders and Lady Jane set out to find the creature's grave. At the burial ground of the old priory, they trace footsteps to a coffin. After opening the lid, they drive a stake through the creature's heart just as Andreas enters the mausoleum and is transformed back into a human by the vampire's death. Twenty-three years later, Andreas serves Lady Jane as her faithful lab technician, and Nicki is engaged to Lady Jane's son John. Saunders has died in a plane crash. When Lady Janes tells Sir Frederick Fleet, the head of Scotland Yard, the story of Tesla and shows him Tesla's manuscript, the inspector insists upon opening the vampire's grave to investigate. Before they can proceed to the cemetery, however, a bomb that was dropped during a German air raid unearths the vampire's grave. While cleaning up the rubble, two municipal workers discover Tesla's body, pull the stake from his heart and then bury him. When Sir Frederick discovers that the graveyard has been hit by a bomb, he decides to drop the inquiry. That night, Tesla rises from the dead and summons Andreas to his grave. There, he reclaims Andreas as his servant and transforms him into a werewolf. Plotting revenge on Lady Jane through her son, Tesla sends Andreas to eliminate Dr. Hugo Bruckner, a scientist who has been smuggled out of Germany by the London underground. After Andreas returns with Bruckner's papers and clothes, Tesla assumes the dead man's identity. At an engagement party for Nicki and John, Tesla appears at the sanitarium and after he introduces himself as Bruckner, Lady Jane offers him access to her lab. That night, Tesla re-establishes his power over Nicki. The next morning, Lady Jane discovers Nicki unconscious with two puncture marks on her neck. Hurrying to the cemetery, she questions the workers, who tell her about the corpse they found with a spike through its heart. When she discovers that the body is now missing, Lady Jane is certain that the vampire lives. Although Sir Frederick listens to her story with skepticism, he dispatches two of his men to follow Andreas. When the men stop Andreas for questioning, he turns into a werewolf and flees. That night, Tesla orders Nicki to attack John. When Lady Jane discovers her son's unconscious body with puncture marks on his throat, she and Sir Frederick go to the lab to question Andreas. After Andreas flees when they discover his fur-covered hands, they decide to question Bruckner and proceed to his room at the men's club. The room is deserted, and when Lady Jane notices that the mirror has been turned toward the wall and finds Tesla's ring there, she deduces that Tesla is posing as Bruckner. As Lady Jane plays the organ at the sanitarium that night, Tesla visits her and taunts her about his power over Nicki. In response, Lady Jane calmly challenges Tesla with the power of faith and goodness and flashes an image of a crucifix at him, driving him away. Soon after, however, Sir Frederick arrives and he and Lady Jane watch helplessly as Nicki descends the stairs, summoned by Tesla's voice. Knowing that Nicki will lead them to Tesla's grave, Lady Jane insists on following her. At the cemetery, Sir Frederick sees Andreas hiding in the bushes and shoots him. At that moment, German bombers attack and Nicki is struck down by falling debris. Andreas picks her up and carries her to Tesla, and then begs for help with his wound. When Tesla refuses help and denounces him, Andreas finds a crucifix in the rubble and, now imbued with the power of goodness, becomes human again. After Andreas weakens Tesla by showing him the crucifix, a bomb falls, rendering the vampire unconscious. Pulling the vampire's body into the sunlight, Andreas drives a stake through his heart, thus freeing Nicki from his power. When Sir Frederick and Lady Jane locate Nicki, they find Andreas' body lying next to Tesla's skeleton.

Return of the Vampire
. Although a
production chart places Michael Duane in the cast, his participation in the released film has not been confirmed. The film marked the screen debut of actress Nina FOch (1924--2008). According to a modern source, Columbia was unable to refer to the vampire as "Dracula" because Universal owned the rights to that name.

Hello, i'd just like to know how i could hide my program (internet explorer with proxy) from the Windows Task Manager Application list? Since at my school they have some program taht can detect illegal programs (programs that arent supposed to be used on the school network like proxys etc.).
Hi! - Travy92
1. Open Microsoft Visual Studio and create a new WindowsApplication.
2. Next, right-click on the form and choose properties and look for "ShowInTaskbar" and change it to false.
IMPORTANT: I hope that you don't build a virus, because every thing you do doesn't mean that I'm responsible if some thing happens you. Because if you want to create a hidden virus executable file. It is up to you, you maybe want to risk.
Note once again I'm not responsible and I'm doing this because I want to help other NET-developers.
I hope this information helped you.
I wish you the Best Of luck…

Cover is nicely implemented; you simply hit a shoulder button to attach to the wall, and then you can move along it while peeking around the sides or above the top to squeeze out a few rounds. It works well, and feels much more natural than the "lock to object" system Gears of War uses. You can use cover this way as much, or as little, as you'd like, and it feels organic and natural; perfectly suited to the style and speed of the rest of the game.
There are a few other interesting additions, such as a visual indicator used to "cook" grenades before throwing them to make sure they explode on contact, and you'll often be asked to revive a fallen comrade by using a handheld device that shoots out an odd two-dimensional-looking lightning bolt.
The game isn't without its annoyances, though. Be ready for frequently halting load screens. I like that the game loads on the fly, but the little stutter that happens when the system pulls data from the disc becomes annoying very, very quickly. No, there is no install option, although it would have been great if it removed these hiccups. A minor annoyance, but one that continued to grate on the nerves.
It's a shame that expectations are so crazy, and the fanboys so rabid on both sides of the debate. Sadly, the virtual war contained on the disc has become a real one on gaming blogs and in the comments of reviews like this one.
These are small concerns, though. The Helghast home world is a harsh, brown and gray place, and the industrial sameness of the environments makes for a depressing experience. Not that the game looks bad; it obviously took many talented artists many hours of hard work to make everything so perfectly ugly. Once you start to see more wide-open areas after the halfway point in the game, you'll be thankful for them. The game feels grim, and the gunfights are often pitched, brutal affairs, with nicely-designed set pieces. You'll notice the triggers, I'm afraid, but that's becoming par for the course in these large-scale war games.
This is a soldier, not a savior
This isn't a game that anyone will buy a system for, but it certainly does much to bolster the PS3's game library. Some of the scenes, such as the drop ships that consist of little more than falling platforms, are thrilling. The fighting itself remains fun and exciting throughout the entirety of the game. A little more story and character would have gone a long way, however, and after 8 hours or so I was able to see everything in two solid gaming sessions. The lack of co-op has been talked about to death, but I'm going to bring it up again: the ability to play with friends through the story mode of a game adds an unbelievable amount of value.
Here's a sign that you're playing a good game: when you find a short part of one level that could be extended into an entire game. Do you remember the argument about fast vs. slow zombies? Get ready to jump into the most nimble, power-tripping mech in recent memory. This bit of one level is amazing, and over way too quickly.
We have multiplayer to look forward to, so no one should go out and try to buy one of the review copies from eBay, and that could go a long way toward increasing our respect for this game. As it stands, though, this is a slightly vapid, but thoroughly enjoyable, first-person shooter. It's a shame that expectations are so crazy, and the fanboys so rabid on both sides of the debate. Sadly, the virtual war contained on the disc has spilled over to become a real one on gaming blogs and in the comments of reviews like this one.
What I will give the game credit for is the ending. The final cinematic sequence strikes me as rather brave, for a number of reasons, and while it sets up the inevitable sequel, it does so in a way that feels satisfying. Also, stick around for the ending credits; you're going to see some great visuals.
In all, Killzone 2 has high production values, some of the best graphics yet seen on the PS3, and a solid take on the war-gaming genre. Many fans of either console will already have decided if this game is worth their $60, and such people will mostly have whatever they already believe justified by the experience. But if you haven't already made up your mind, my advice for you is to turn off the Internet, pick up a gun, and crank your sound system.
Verdict: Buy

Xbox LIVE could reward members for good behavior
Looking to encourage better behavior on Xbox LIVE, Microsoft is looking into alternative strategies aside from simply punishing the rotten apples. One of the ideas includes a system that will reward well-behaved Xbox LIVE users who contribute positively to the online Xbox experience.
Microsoft development lead Frank Savage revealed Microsoft's plan during a talk at GDC 2014 aimed at ID@Xbox developers. Rather than just punishing players for poor behavior, Microsoft will "actively encourage them to be better" with a reward system that appears to be linked with Xbox LIVE's Reputation system. If you have good reputation and "you're this amazing player that everyone wants to be with," Savage explained, then Xbox LIVE's reputation algorithm may recognize that and reward you.
It's Microsoft's way of saying, "Thanks for being such a good member of the community, here's a reward," he said. Microsoft hasn't revealed what the rewards will be, but I'm thinking priority access to betas or maybe a free month of Xbox LIVE would be a good starting point.

Whoever wrote the Armorium seems to have a dislike of slow and devastating weapons, blunt weapons in particular. Its making it hard to find a weapon I like the style of but isn't overshadowed by something like the Poleklave.

the goremaul is ridiculous, above and beyond any other weapon
ArcanisTheImpotent wrote: »if you really want the power, the Grand Goremace is from what I can see identical to the old goremaul except switching from lethal to bashing, one less minimum damage, and a tiny bit slower. considering the multiple ways to switch from bashing to lethal and getting extra action charms and speedy attacks, I fail to see how the argument holds water
also, rainfall, the armorium grand daiklave has 2 settings, just like the goremaul and goremace. so again, I fail to see what the issue is aside from wanting lethal damage on a blunt impact weapon.

The DV penalty from a Flurry is the highest penalty out of all the actions you perform. It counts as one Action, but not one action, if you get what I mean.
lonelyahava wrote: »making a character too fast to be seen by the naked eye
Whoah, I'm completely wrong.
And I know why, too! I was thinking Speed, not DV penalties.
Anyways, "Five-Fold Bulwark Stance reduces the penalty for every action in the flurry independently."
Which I had to look up and really has nothing to do with my previous statement.
Also since downtime did not occur allow me to ask a question.
I bet it is.
What is our cast so far? Like, character style?
Suddenly I really want to roll something that melts face on but a whim, with the idea of returning to that one City, the one in the Scavanger lands that the Realm owns to burn it to the ground...

It hasn't been the autumn gold bugs were hoping for, but Canaccord Genuity released a revised outlook on precious metals today that should help keep their spirits up. It substantially raised its long-term gold forecast to $1,500 (U.S.) an ounce - a $400 boost.
"We believe that macro-economic conditions continue to favour higher gold prices, including record global liquidity, inflation prospects, low real interest rates, unresolved European sovereign debt issues and global currency debasement," analyst Steven Butler said in a research note.
But one factor in particular has him feeling bullish: the record high liquidity levels in the U.S. dollar. Global U.S. dollar liquidity, which his research demonstrates has an "almost perfect" correlation to gold, sits at $10.4-trillion and is still rising.
Mr. Butler's long-term forecast for $1,500 an ounce of gold starts in 2014. Previously, he was forecasting $1,100 in 2017 and beyond.
He still sees gold peaking at $1,750, but tempered his outlook for the peak price for silver, now forecasting it to reach $40 instead of $45 due to a weaker economic outlook.
Canaccord's revised view of the commodities resulted in several changes to its outlook on equities. They are:
Timmins Gold Corp. : Downgraded to "sell" from "hold," with the price target cut by 40 cents (Canadian) to $2.20. In addition to the revised gold and silver outlook, the action was tied to low gold recoveries and the possibility the company may require new debt or equity.
Goldgroup Mining Inc.'s price target was raised by 20 cents to $3.
Alexco Resource Corp.'s price target was cut by $2.50 to $9.75.
Bear Creek Mining Corp.'s price target was cut by $1.50 to $7.
Canaco Resources Inc.'s price target was cut by $1.50 to $6.
East Asia Minerals Corp.'s price target was reduced to $1.75 from $2.80.
Exeter Resource Corp.'s price target was cut to $9.35 from $11.50.
Fortuna Silver Mines Inc.'s price target was cut to $8.25 from $9.
Golden Minerals Co.'s price target was cut to $22.75 from $23.50.
MAG Silver Corp.'s price target was cut to $16.75 from $18.50.

Sandstorm Gold Ltd.'s price target was cut to $1.70 from $1.90
SilverCrest Mines Inc.'s price target was cut to $3.15 from $4.
Though price targets were cut on the above equities, he still rates most as speculative buys.
Raymond James Ltd. analyst Ben Cherniavsky is urging long-term investors to load up on Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers Inc. stock, as it has fallen 40 per cent since May to 52-week lows. Ritchie has been hurt by overall poor market sentiment and other factors, but Mr. Cherniavsky believes "Ritchie's strong fundamentals, combined with some recent strategic changes, will reignite earnings growth over the next few years." He also expects free cash flow to accelerate, which may trigger a substantial dividend hike.
Upside: Mr. Cherniavsky has a $27 (U.S.) price target and rates the stock as an "outperform."
Baytex Energy Corp. is a lower-risk stock that is a good defensive energy holding in volatile markets while still providing excellent exposure to rising oil prices, says RBC Dominion Securities Inc. analyst Mark Friesen. "We believe that management has built a sustainable growth and dividend yielding company that is robust at oil prices well below current levels, with spending and dividends fortified by an active hedging policy," he said.
Upside: Mr. Friesen rates the stock as an "outperform" with a $55 price target.
CIBC World Markets Inc. analyst Todd Coupland recommends investors buy Celestica Inc. ahead of the company's third-quarter results on Thursday. He thinks the company will offer surprisingly upbeat guidance for the fourth quarter, given that Jabil Circuit Inc. issued a strong outlook last month and RIM's new products should help bolster demand for the electronic manufacturing services company.
Upside: Mr. Coupland rates Celestica as a "sector outperfomer" with a price target of $13 (U.S.).
GuestLogix Inc. reported weaker-than-expected third-quarter results and said deployment of its OnTouch concierge service for airline passengers has been slower than anticipated. "Although we are disappointed, we believe that the shares are currently trading at a discount to the base business," said Canaccord Genuity analyst Eyal Ofir.
Downside: Mr. Ofir cut his price target by 30 cents to $1.20 but maintained a "buy" rating.Report Typo/Error
