This creative design could be a mobile artist's best friend. Or it could just be the coolest pen in your office drawer.
The Scribble Pen has a unique capability: a color sensor that allows the user to scan any object around them, then immediately doodle in that same shade.
Love the shade of the grass in your yard or the flowers in your garden pot? What about your sports team's jersey color? The pen can scan those colors and store them so if you want to use the same shade again, the ink combination will be identical.
Using technology similar to a color printer, the pen has cartridges in cyan, yellow, magenta, black and white that can be combined to make any other color.
The company has also designed a stylus with the same color sensor technology that allows users to create their own palate on their smart tablets as well.
Scribble's technology is not available for sale just yet, but eager artists, parents eyeballing these for their creative kids or doodlers just looking for a more exciting way to take notes in that boring office meeting can pre-order. Once it's released, the pen will debut at $150 a pop, and the stylus version for smartphones or tablets will cost just under $80.

Art for Health is a partnership of artists and medical doctors working together to improve health care in under-served communities around the world. Artists travel to Rush University Medical Center's global health clinics, spend time with the doctors and their patients and express their experiences with creative media, which is then auctioned to raise funds for Rush's Global Health Program. The Art For Health book series was created by photographers Brian Wetzstein and Sebastian Kowalski and photographer/art director Marek Hosek, each of whom accompanied one Rush medical team to a different region. Hosek's design studio mhdezign created the books to showcase the images from these global voyages along with detailed line work that provides information about the areas where the clinics are located. All the paper was generously donated by Neenah Paper, and designers mixed Astrobright colored paper with Classic Crest white paper to give the books an unusual look and feel. The three books come inside a clever case which is printed in silver on Neenah Epic Black double-thick cover paper. The benefit has raised over $100,000 in three years, and will help send medical teams to the Dominican Republic and Haiti in 2014.

LONDON, June 27 (UPI) -- Britain's Queen Elizabeth will get a 5 percent raise in her income based on an increase in profits of the Crown Estate, officials said.
The queen's income will increase to $55.9 million in 2014, up from $55.2 million, the BBC reported Wednesday.
The Crown Estate, from which the queen is paid, saw an increase in its profits of 5 percent to $386 million, the estate said. Some of the profits will also go to the Treasury to aid the nation's finances.
The value of the Crown Estate is $123.8 billion, and while it is owned by the Crown, it is not the private property of the queen, the BBC reported.
"[Thursday's] results are a ringing endorsement of the quality of our portfolio, our active asset management and our highly skilled team," said Alison Nimmo, chief executive of the Crown Estate.
"Despite challenging market conditions, we are well placed as a business with a clear vision and investment strategy, great partners and a strong balance sheet," she added.

'Music and Politics' to be Explored in Recitals, Convocations and Master Class, October 10-12
October 9, 2006
'Music of the 21st Century' Web Site
October 9, 2006, Greencastle, Ind. - "Music of the 21st Century," an annual event that brings contemporary composers to the DePauw University School of Music, has its opening recital performance Wednesday, October 11 at 7:30 p.m. The focus of this year's event is the interconnection between music and politics and features pianists Lisa Moore and Eliane Lust performing the compositions of Frederic Rzewski and Martin Bresnick. Thursday's events include a convocation with the artists, a piano master class and a second recital by Lisa Moore.
As both a composer and pianist, Rzewski has been at the forefront of new music since the early 1960s, collaborating with such diverse artists as Cornelius Cardew, Steve Lacy, and Anthony Braxton. His music will be featured in the concert on Wednesday evening, and he will be performing on piano along with Eliane Lust.
Recently praised by the Chicago Tribune as "a pianist of extraordinary range, emotional depth and intelligence," Lust specializes in bridging the gap between the traditional and modern piano repertoires and has premiered, recorded and toured her unique programs to regular acclaim throughout the world.
Works of Bresnick will be performed by Australian pianist Lisa Moore on Thursday. The compositions cover a wide range of instrumentation, from chamber to symphonic compositions and computer music. Bresnick's orchestral music has been performed by groups such as the National Symphony, Chicago Symphony, American Composers Orchestra, and San Francisco Symphony.
Described by the New York Times as "lustrous at the keyboard, and at once engaging and challenging," Australian Moore enjoys one of the most diverse musical careers experienced by pianists today. Recent solo artistic ventures include piano with dramatic text recitation and DVD image projection in Frederic Rzewski's adaptation of Oscar Wilde's De Profundis and Martin Bresnick's For the Sexes: The Gates of Paradise, both of which will be featured in Thursday's recital.
The three days of events begin Tuesday, October 10, with a lecture by Carson Holloway, asssistant professor of political science at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, entitled "Music and Political Philosophy: From Plato to Nietzsche."
On Thursday at 1 p.m. in Thompson Recital Hall, Bresnick, Moore, Rzewski and Lust will discuss their work. At 2 p.m., Lust and Rzewski will present a piano master class for students and faculty in the DePauw School of Music.
Music of the 21st Century is generously funded by the Gilbert S. Lance fund. For more information, click here.Back

" Celebrate the annual carnival! "
I have had a home by Machynlleth for years and it is a fabulous town in Mid Wales and after so many years and visiting there literally hundreds of times, I am still not bored of it at all. At Halloween they put on a beautiful lantern parade every year which is definitely worth going to and now I will let you know why if you are near, go because it is brilliant to see.
First how do you find Machynlleth:
This will get you right into the heart of the town. By car it is pretty easy as there are a few car parks which have plenty of spaces and are only a couple of pounds to park for the day. By bus there are links to nearby towns and villages and then Machynlleth does boast its own train station which has links to a lot of places and I can get there straight from Birmingham new street so not that bad at all.
When you are in Machynlleth for Halloween you will notice that the town really gets into it with decorations in shop windows and lights everywhere. On Halloween night is when you get all of the fun though.
What happens is that the whole town's residents it seems make lanterns. Now people really get into it and you will have massive dragons with a few people holding them and then smaller ghost lanterns so that the little ones can have a go. There are hundreds of them and they are all made by putting a light inside a massive sculpture made by paper.
You will find that the town gets very busy and everybody stands on the streets to watch the parade. Lots of people take part in the parade and it goes on for a while. It is such a nice thing to see a whole town getting into the spirit of things and joining together to make such a pretty parade.
Everybody has fun and there is a procession of people making music so you have a really good vibe in the town and the atmosphere is buzzing with life. They walk through the town with their lanterns and then you can go to a nearby park where the fun continues.
Here you pay a couple of pounds to get in some years but when there you will get entertainment in the form of people doing acrobats I have seen and I have also been there when they have done party games for the kids and tombolas and all sorts. You can get some drinks and food from the vans here too and just enjoy being out under the stars at Halloween having fun.
They do have a fireworks show which is spectacular too and is well worth waiting around for. There are lots of people here so you do feel like you are seeing something great which is fantastic.
All in all I think the Halloween parade at Machynlleth is fantastic and I do go every year to see it and never get bored. It is nice to see a whole town joining together for a night of fun and everybody really does have a great time. I love it there and Machynlleth is such a fantastic town anyway that having this parade just makes it seem even more brilliant.
I recommend to all if you do get the chance.
Thanks for reading.

text: The federal government is easing its ban on giving security clearances to gays, according to a Congressional General Accounting Office report. Federal agencies for years had denied such clearances to homosexuals on the assumption that all gays were at risk of being blackmailed. The GAO said today that it reviewed records for contractors and civilians from eight agencies and found homosexuality was no longer a criterion for granting security clearances. Six of those agencies have written policies that prohibit asking clearance applicants about their sexual orientation. The Defense Department and the Secret Service said sexual orientation is no longer a criterion but they have not revised their written policies to reflect that.

Orlando Sentinel, March 8, 2013
As a whistleblower lawsuit against Florida Hospital continues its way through federal court here, the nonprofit hospital system repaid nearly $3 million it received from overbilling the government, said the whistleblowers' attorney, Marlan Wilbanks."This further proves the credibility of our case," said Wilbanks, who represents whistleblowers Amanda Dittman, a bill-coding and reimbursement-compliance officer, and Dr. Charlotte Elenberger, a radiologist. Both are former Florida Hospital workers. However, hospital spokeswoman Samantha O'Lenick said the repayment was based on findings from a third-party audit.

wikiHow to Make Marshmallow‐Filled "Pillow" Cookies
Three Parts:Kneading the DoughWrapping in the MarshmallowsFinishing and BakingCommunity Q&A
Ever wanted to have a campfire-y s'mores feeling, but didn't want to get gooey marshmallows all over your fingers? Here is the solution! Start with step one to find out how to make delicious sweet-and-warm-on-the-outside, gooey-and-sweet on the inside cookies. You'll never regret it, though it will cost you quite a few calories.
- Cookie dough (any flavour you want; home-made or store-bought)
- Twelve regular marshmallows
- A bit of oil, preferably vegetable oil or olive oil
Part 1
Kneading the Dough
1Scoop out the dough from its container or bowl and set it on top of a cutting board.
- You might want to cover the surface with a nonstick sheet, so the dough doesn't stick and make a mess.
- Make sure your hands are clean. No one likes germs in their cookies!
- If the dough is homemade, you can skip this part.
2Knead the dough lightly.
- You can grease your hands with a bit of the oil to make life easier.
- To knead the dough, use the heel of your hand to push the dough away from you slightly. Then pull the dough back towards you, folding and flipping. Repeat this about eight times.
Part 2
Wrapping in the Marshmallows
1Get your marshmallows. The marshmallows should never be too big, or they'll expand and expand, pushing away the cookie layer.
- Pinch off a small piece of dough, about the size of a five year-old's palm and flatten it into a small circle. Don't make it too thin, about medium thick.
2Put the marshmallow in the center of the circle.
- Again, make sure your marshmallow is not too big. If it's bigger than the dough circle, cut it in half. It's still early, so you better make your move now.
3Using your thumb and index finger, slide the dough smoothly over the marshmallow, like wrapping a dumpling. It's important that the dough is evenly smooth on all sides. Nobody wants deformed cookies.
- If it's slightly lumpy, slide your fingers across that part until it's smooth.
- If one patch is too thin, pinch a small piece of dough from the kneaded part of dough and make the ball even.
4Roll the dough-wrapped marshmallow between your palm until it's shaped like a plump sausage.
- Do not flatten it until it's cookie-shaped. That will make the finished cookie bigger than your palm, and the marshmallow will melt completely.
- Make sure the dough is thick enough for baking. Otherwise too thin cookies with shrivel up until they're as delicate and brittle as fingernails.
Part 3
Finishing and Baking
1Continue making, wrapping, and smoothing the cookies until you have about twelve and the mound of dough is gone. Set the cookies on a baking tray lined with aluminum foil.
- Make sure to give them some space.
- If your baking tray is too small for twelve cookies, put some of the cookies on another tray.
2Bake the cookies at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes or until done.
- Check the cookies now and then. If the marshmallows are rapidly expanding, stop the oven immediately and take out to cool.
- When the cookies are done, take them out and set aside.
3If you want, you can add sprinkles, chocolate chips, or icing. Just don't go overboard! Remember, a cookie and marshmallow combined is enough to make you jittery. One cookie a day keeps the cravings away. Two cookies a day keeps the dieting away!
- The cookies are best with a glass of cold milk. If you have a very sweet tooth, spoil yourself and serve with sliced fruit, chocolate milkshakes, buttercream frosting, and vanilla ice cream sundaes with hot fudge or caramel.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
200 characters leftSubmit
- For fun, use rainbow chocolate chips in the cookie dough.
- These cookies work great for sandwich cookies.
- Bake them anytime you want. All you need is a sweet tooth, cookie dough, and marshmallows.
- Do not use more than one marshmallow in a cookie. They'll explode and you will have to spend a boring thirty minutes with your head inside the dirty oven, holding oven-cleaning tools.

I won't waste your time giving you something you don't want or see for the blessing it is. Spiritual guidance is much bigger, more valuable than "yes, no, and when" answers. If all you want are those surface answers, if you seek predictions over guidance, choose to remain helpless waiting for "predictions to happen" rather than embrace guidance to create your life; I'm not the advisor for you.
DO NOT contact me if you're looking for a "magic 8 ball." I won't spit out answers that won't help you in any way other than making you feel good briefly,guaranteeing you'll remain in the same situation and back on the phone looking for new reassurance. You deserve more than a cycle of temporary relief between readings.
If that's what you want, it's best you see this now and choose someone who is willing/capable of that. My readings are about much more than that.
Readings are about guidance and insight in terms of the bigger picture, helping YOU make the best decisions and ultimately be TRULY happy-not just to tell you if or when something will happen. Those answers will NEVER be useful unless YOU know how to make the most of what is to come when it does.
What is the purpose in anyone telling you what will happen tomorrow, or ever,if you get there and have no clarity on how you got there and what needs to be done so you don't find yourself facing the same(or worse) problems later? Why spend your time,money, energy, and emotions walking in circles, never moving forward? REAL guidance frees you of those painful struggles
Readings give answers about the future based on where you are TODAY. Your choices on what to do beyond that are yours to make and can impact the outcome as well as your current circumstance.
Understanding that the true purpose of a reading is giving you the DIRECTION, INSIGHT, CLARITY you need to make the best choices for YOU is as vital to benefiting from your reading as a clear, open mind is to getting a good reading.
Be open and prepared to hearing the messages, receiving the gift of gaining true understanding of your path, the people around you, what brought you here, what your options are, the outcomes in each circumstance, what you can or can't change, and what to expect along the way.
"Predictions" are secondary to the miraculous, freeing empowerment a reading can give you. If you're willing to remain hostage to predictions again, please don't call me. I am here to deliver messages for healing, clarity, guidance, and empowerment; not to hinder you by feeding a cycle of pain, fear, and endless readings.
Taking control and using the guidance is up to you. If you validate everything you get in terms of insight and guidance but weigh your reading on that versus "predictions coming true," you're not ready for real guidance, you're looking for reassurance, will keep calling, keep asking,seeking "predictions," will need 2nd, 3rd, 100th readings to boost you up again. You deserve more than that.
I'm not omniscient or omnipotent; OR 100% "right." I can ONLY do my best to receive and deliver your guidance accurately. Like, you, I'm human. I don't always get everything 100% right. Nor do I have the ability to change your life. YOU do.
As far as what other readers said; I wasn't there, have no way of validating it, what they were given to deliver to you, or how you understood it.I can't change what I'm being told nor am I here to convince you of it. If it differs from what 1 or 100 other readers have said, arguing it won't change what I'M told.
Out of respect for my calling and YOU; I won't allow dependence on spiritual help or anyone blaming others for their choosing to have too many readings. If you want real help on your path, I'm here. If you want to add me to a list of Advisors you call every day for reassurance, know that I care too much to allow this.
You will not only get a reading with no gimmicks or mind games to take advantage of your confusion and pain; you'll get the answers and insights you need, and a partner committed to your success. That may mean telling you things you don't want to hear NOW, but will be glad someone cared enough to tell you later.
In the same way that I give myself completely in a reading, please give YOURSELF the respect of approaching this with honesty and an open mind. Avoid games like "test the psychic."This isn't a carnival. I respect you enough not to play games with you, I expect the same. If I don't see that we're connecting, I won't continue. Playing games will guarantee we don't connect, at which point ending the reading is the only responsible, ethical thing I can do.
You don't have to believe or trust me. Trust your own inner wisdom and in the love that guides us all. We ALL recognize the truth when we hear it, whether it's what we want to hear or not.
I have been entrusted with the gifts of Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, and Clairsentience. I am also a highly sensitive Empath. Simply put; I receive through hearing, seeing, knowing, and feeling what others feel, as well as communicating with those who have crossed over.
Through these you'll get guidance empowering you to take charge and transform your life,whether or not it's what you want to hear right now.Whatever the case, you won't be left without comfort or direction.The only "bad news" is being helpless.
This is YOUR opportunity. Make it count. Take responsibility for what you choose to do after it so only YOU can take credit for its success IF you apply it.
*** New clients; email me for free time to ensure we connect PRIOR to arranging a call. Not doing so will indicate you have not read this page and result in my declining your call.***
**REMINDER: When messaging me, as in all correspondence, please include your first name so I can address you properly when I respond.
Your HONEST feedback will help others choose an Advisor. Helping one another is a gift we give that always returns.
For entertainment only, not to replace the care of a mental health, medical, or legal professional, or your own common sense. Must be 18 years or older to call.

It's Tuesday, which means it's Joe McCulloch day, and today he's got not only highlighting the Week in Comics' most interesting releases, but also writing in depth about the creator of some of the most uncomfortable manga ever made, Suehiro Maruo.
It's also the second day of the Cartoonist's Diary of Faith Erin Hicks. Today, she's on the way to Stumptown.
Elsewhere: Not so much.
—Devlin Thompson at Bizarro Wuxtry has some great photos of Peter Bagge and Daniel Clowes's Hateball tour, which took place twenty years ago.
—Chris Mautner isn't that big a fan of Bazooka Joe comics. Go figure.
—Graeme McMillan notes that despite Marvel's recent claims, Avengers: Endless Wartime is hard to justify as "Marvel's First Original Graphic Novel." Does the phrase "graphic novel" really have such fetishistic power that it's worth making bald-faced lies like that?
—And finally, Jeet Heer takes to the Globe & Mail to review Gilbert Hernandez's latest two books.

A Los Angeles jury has found unanimously that concert promoter AEG Live was not liable in the wrongful death lawsuit brought by family members of singer Michael Jackson.
The jury found that the doctor the company hired for the singer was not unfit for his job.
The verdict ended a five-month trial that opened a window into the late entertainer's private life and final days.
Jackson died at the age of 50 in Los Angeles in 2009.
His mother Katherine and his three children sued AEG Live over the singer's death from an overdose of the surgical anaesthetic propofol.
The family alleged that AEG Live negligently hired Conrad Murray as Jackson's personal physician and ignored signs the singer was in poor health prior to his death.
Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2011 for administering the propofol that killed the star.
The doctor had been caring for Jackson as the singer rehearsed for his series of 50 comeback "This Is It" concerts.

Inside the Cocoon
Caucasus Chronicles
Conspicuously present at the grand, August-28 inauguration of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was Armenian Foreign Minister Eduard Nalbandian, marking the first-time Armenia has participated in a state-ceremony hosted by its historic enemy, Turkey.
Widely criticized in Armenia and watched with cautious hope by the Caucasus peace-wishers, the visit, so far, has amounted to no more than a walk-on role.
The inauguration in Ankara was mainly noted for the absence of Western leaders and outcries by the Turkish opposition in response to Erdoğan's perceived authoritarian drift. Against this backdrop, Nalbandian's visit offered a bit of positive relief. It came after almost 100 years of feuding over Ottoman Turkey's annihilation of ethnic Armenians and republican Turkey's subsequent denial that the actions amounted to genocide.
Nalbandian used the opportunity to invite Turkey's new/old leader to attend Yerevan's centennial commemoration of the 1915 massacres. While such an invite is unlikely to go down well with Ankara, it might have helped Yerevan respond to domestic controversy over the visit.
For Erdoğan, the presence of a token Armenian could help him add some favorable spin to his international reputation, badly damaged by a crackdown on free voices and alleged corruption, among other ills.
And not enhanced by a campaign-season slur about ethnic Armenians.
Baby-steps, though, have been taken by Turkey toward reconciliation – Erdoğan's earlier, selectively worded expression of condolences to Armenia for the 1915 bloodshed and recent talk of restoring an ancient Armenian church in Turkey.
Yet it pays to stay skeptical about such steps. The 2009 attempt at reconciliation, strongly backed by various diplomatic powers, ground to a halt over differences related not only to 1915, but Armenia's conflict with Turkish ally Azerbaijan over Nagorno Karabakh.
This latest attempt may not be too different.

Though nothing really surprises us when it comes to Gaga—be it sleeping in a giant bottle of her own perfume or smoking weed onstage during a concert—so this partnership isn't so shocking per se. In fact, a scratch beneath the surface shows that this make total sense...see, Office Depot has pledged to donate at least $1 million to the performer's Born This Way Foundation, which aims to encourage today's youth to feel confident about their indivuality and discourage bullying. Mother Monster has partnered with the company to create a series of limited-edition products, and while there's a guaranteed million in the bag, the more people buy, the more money flows to the foundation as Office Depot is donating 25% of sales from the Gaga-approved swag, which includes a Post-Its, Sharpies, and friendship bracelets. So, if you're headed back to school or back to work or just trying to organize the mess that is your life, think about picking up the goods and doing something good with your money...for once. And if this sounds like some marketing push, well, just know that OD has already come under fire for supporting the cause, and we all remember those assholes at Chic-fil-a, right?

Mick McCarthy: Excellent management decision to make 10 changes
The decision made by Wolves manager Mick McCarthy to make ten changes ahead of playing Premier League Champions Manchester United was met with wide-spread derision and anger around the country. Many fans felt 'ripped-off' and 'cheated' by the decision, but today hopefully they are enlightened with the bravery and common sense of the changes.
On Monday Wolves are three points better off than they were last week following a two-nil defeat of Burnley, fellow relegation rivals. With seven points separating the bottom 11 teams, those three points were vital for Wolves. Big Mick knows what he is doing, he knows that he will on average (in our opinion), lose to Manchester United 8 or 9 times out of 10 . Given that they only play each other twice a year, the odds are stacked against Wolves, so he made a brave and sensible decision.
A couple of points here;
1 - He is the manager he can do what he wants. Why should the Premier League write to him to ask 'why'? What are they hoping is going to happen here?
2 - As the leader of a multi-million dollar group of assets you have to manage them in order to maximise your returns. If we look at the last two games as a single entity; vs Man United and vs Burnley, what is the best outcome for Wolves? I would say it is 3 points. Maybe they could have scraped 4 points if Manchester United had an off day. McCarthy did the maths, he figured the best way to get maximum return from these two games given the assets at his disposal was to make ten changes for the United game. And he was proven correct.
Wolves are now lying 12th in the Premier League but face a difficult trip to Liverpool on Boxing Day and then have Manchester City at home on the 29th. Gaining three points before Christmas was vital to Wolves, McCarthy understood this and managed his squad correctly.
We certainly applaud him for his decisions and hope that fans understand that staying in the Premier League is more important that putting in a good performance at Old Trafford.

If you think that resting ten players was the only way to get maximum return and maximum return was three points your are right.ReplyDelete
But maximum return for me in two games will always be six points. Everytbody says that McCarthy is vindicated and that he did the right thing. How come? We still lost three points to a totally out of form United with lots of injurys. And we almost did that on purpose, while playing a second team.
Maximising the return would be resting a few of the players and letting the rest have a go against United. Five days of rest after that game would be enough in any scientific view to be totally rested for the Burnley game.
I am a big supporter of Wolves and admire much of what McCarthy has done for the club, but he makes some mistakes as well. This was one of them.
Paddytheflea - thank you for comments.ReplyDelete
While I agree that 5 days does seem like enough time for any professional athlete to recover perhaps he felt like many first choice players need a break so they are fresh for the games over the xmas break where a few days extra rest in mid-december could pay dividends at the end of december and beginning of January? Only time will tell I guess.
By the way, if you were to take 3 points from every two games this season you will get 57 points - enough for 7th last year.
Lets be serious, while it is possible for Wolves to achieve 3 points every game it is not going to happen. Its better to take a long term view and look at fixtures in bunches and examine from that perspective, which is clearly what McCarthy did.
Additionally, an out of form United is still at least 30 points a season better than Wolves (and most other teams in the league).
I think the fact that Burnley had three players substituted from injury further vindicates Mick's decision.ReplyDelete
We, the Wolves, unlike Birmingham and Burnley have had up to 14 players injured, including player of the year, our most expensive signing etc., and I think Birmingham and Burnley will start to pick up injuries now.
Championship games can be played at 75% effort for some of the better players, but this is not the case in the Premier League.
The strategy was a positive, the Public Relations bi-product, a negative!

Yesterday we made guacamole and watched Young Frankenstein on TCM. He played a video game and I read, finishing one book (The Soul of an Octopus) and beginning another (Lab Girl). I took the dog out and for only the second time in my life (surprisingly) had a stranger ask, "Who's walking who?!" We roughhoused inside with the typically mellow dog until he lost focus, and I posted a photo of him on Instagram, having decided to try to start taking photos every day again, whether or not anyone sees them.
It's slowly getting warmer, the sun out for longer periods of time (when it isn't pouring rain), and every weekend sees more people emerging from the secret places they hibernated all winter. It's not shorts weather yet, but it's coming.
I've ordered a couple boxes from Stitch Fix, intrigued by the concept of having a stranger pick out clothes for me, which is a task I do not excel at. In my first order I kept a pair of (in my cheapskate opinion) absurdly expensive jeans and a sweater, and I await my second mystery order with cautious optimism. I've come to a point when I can no longer ignore the gathering stains and holes in my wardrobe, and something must be done about it, because I am in my thirties now, damn it, and I shouldn't be dressing like a teenager or a bum.
By chance I found out my ex-boyfriend got married not terribly long after we broke up (specifically, after he broke up with me), and I'll admit I had some odd feelings about that revelation. Still, they were muted feelings. It's funny to realize that someone who was once so important to you could so quickly become a distant memory. Not an unpleasant one, but one that no longer feels relevant in the new life you've created for yourself. One in which there's a great guy, a great dog, a great apartment, and lots of languid sunny weekends ahead to enjoy. When people say, "This too shall pass," they're not just blowing smoke. There are no truly static moments in life, no matter how they feel at the time.
These are notes to myself, a reminder that things are pretty good, even if I sometimes get frustrated with what feels like a fatal lack of activity and progress. The quiet, simple times are no less significant than the times of upheaval. Sunday morning can be as full of life as Friday night.
Or, you know, what I've heard Friday night is like…

Corona Sent: 22 October 2008 1:43 pm To: haskell-cafe at haskell.org Subject: [Haskell-cafe] Fwd: enhancing type classes with properties I´m just thinking aloud, but, because incorporating deeper mathematics concepts has proven to be the best solution for better and more flexible programming languages with fewer errors, I wonder if raising the type classes incorporating axioms can solve additional problems. At first sight it does: class Abelian a where (+) :: a -> a -> a property ((+))= a+b == b+a this permits: 1- safer polimorphism: I can safely reuse the operator + if the type and the property is obeyed. The lack of ability to redefine operators is a problem for DSLs that must use wreid symbols combinations with unknow meanings. To use common operators with fixed properties is very good. the same aplies for method names. 2- the compiler can use the axions as rewrite rules. 3- in debugging mode, it is possible to verify the axiom for each value a generated during execution. Thus, a generator is not needed like in quickcheck. The logic to quickcheck can be incorporated in the debugging executable. 3 guaranties that 1 and 2 are safe. a type class can express a relation between types, but it is not possible to define relation between relations. ============================================================================== Please access the attached hyperlink for an important electronic communications disclaimer: http://www.credit-suisse.com/legal/en/disclaimer_email_ib.html ============================================================================== -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Wrestling's 4R's 1.28.12: WWE Smackdown & TNA IMPACT Wrestling Reviewed
How the 4R's of wRestling Work!
Here is a quick explanation of the 4R's. The column will run TWO times a week. We will group our feelings on the shows in various categories: The Right, the wRong and the Ridiculous. The Right is stuff that worked very well: a great promo, a great match and so on. PuRgatoRy is a section between the right and wrong. It shows equal traits from both sides that cannot be ignored and needs discussed. It is not a bad place per say, as things can get remedied or go the wrong way the very next week. The wRong is what it sounds like: bad matches, bad or boring promos and so on. The Ridiculous is stuff that had no right on TV: Stupid angles and so on. And there is always a possibility of a 5th R, which is as bad as they come. This column is supposed to be analytical, and at the right time very critical of the shows, it was the whole reason it was created. This is not a "mark" column, nor a "smark" column, our goal is to analyze the show from many different fronts, reward the good and call out the bad. We will not apologize for our opinions, they are as they are, whether positive or negative.
Impact 1.124.13:
By: Larry Csonka
– Knockouts Title Match: Tara © defeated Velvet Sky @ 9:40 via pin [*¾]
– Zema Ion and Kenny King defeated RVD and Christian York @ 5:05 via pin [**]
– Bobby Roode defeated Hernandez @ 5:40via pin [**]
– World Title Match: Jeff Hardy © defeated Daniels @ 14:11 via pin [***]
Building Daniels: I really like the little things on a wrestling show, because they are often the things that really help build things, but are often ignored. They aired a great little video package, putting over Daniels as a guy with the company since day one, and a guy that while never winning the title, has been in some of the greatest matches in the history of the company. It was short, it was sweet and it was to the point; but I felt added a little more to Daniels' title shot on the show. Well done TNA.
Roode vs. Hernandez: Following up from last week, we had a match between Bobby Roode and Hernandez. There was a funny backstage segment where Aries was trying to convince Roode that he was the power guy and should be facing Hernandez. They are an entertaining duo, and overall I am enjoying their pairing. The match itself was perfectly fine, with Aries and Chavo being involved, leading Roode to pick up the victory. The feud continues, and the tag title match should be coming soon.
Zema Ion and Kenny King defeated RVD and Christian York: Once again, a perfectly fine match, but one that played off of a previously established angle. Ion was the champion and lost it to RVD, so he wants the belt back. King has heat with RVD and York, stemming from the last two PPVs, and they all want to one up each other. Ion stealing the win from King is perfect, because there is no honor among thieves, and plays into Ion wanting to impress to get a shot back at the title he lost. This again was perfectly fine and was also nice to see the X-Division getting some time on TV.
Daniels vs. Hardy: Jeff Hardy defeated Christopher Daniels to retain the TNA World Title on Impact this week. As expected, these guys had a good TV match, with Hardy continuing to deliver in title matches, and Daniels continuing to be awesome. The built to the match with the little video packages, they got time, worked well together and delivered in the advertised main event. Personally I would have loved for Daniels to get the nod, partly for all he has done for the company, and partly because he is about the most entertaining thing on TNA TV these days. But they seem to have plans for Jeff, and didn't want to do the back and forth quick run, which I understand. As far as the match goes, this was good stuff.
Velvet vs. Tara: Following last week's match with Gail Kim, Velvet Sky got her match with Tara for the Knockouts Title. I felt that they had a solid match, and the crowd seemed more into it than the usual Knockouts match which is a positive. But what continues to bother me is the constant deal with Jesse. I get what they are doing, and in theory it puts heat on Tara and will make when she loses more important, but it feels as if it has been going on for so long that it makes the whole deal looks bad. It makes Taryn Terrell look like a shit ref because she has fallen for it 100 times, Brooke Hogan looks bad as the one in change of the Knockouts for not doing anything, and again, I feel that it happens so often
Bully Ray is Fired Up… But Still Suspended: Following the big wedding angle of last week, Bully Ray made his way to the ring this week for his big promo. As expected, Ray did well, and gave a good and emotional baby face promo. But there were things that bothered me. I know he is now married to Brooke and all, but how is this guy still getting in the building? Vowing revenge on Taz, again, is useless. Also, if he got beat down last week along with Hogan, wouldn't Hogan have been there to try for revenge on Aces and Eights or at the very least announce that Bully was reinstated right away? They showed the footage from after the angle where he seemingly accepted Bully, so why the wait? These are logic gaps that take away from the overall enjoyment for me.
Taz Talks: The show opened with the big recap of the wedding angle from last week, which was exactly what they should have done. I may not have been a fan of the angle overall, but the rule of thumb is that when you close a show one week with the big angle, you have to recap it to kick off and set the stage for next week. It's a basic episodic TV tool. But overall, it did nothing for me. As mentioned last week, Taz as the guy turning made little sense, due to the fact that no real revenge can be attained, because he cannot bump or wrestle. TNA realized this and did the cover up angle with the contract, which is ok, but still comes off poorly. Also, as I look at this group, listening to Taz discuss how he couldn't pass up being a part of this dominating group made me laugh. Taz's work was there, but who could believe this since the group is the new Job Squad. And as he is talking I am looking at this group of masked jobbers, being led by Taz, Devon, Knox, Gallows and Mr. Asshole. This is your major angle for the company folks, drink it in. Sorry, I am just not digging the angle at all, and I was an initial defender. I do appreciate long-term angles, but unless they have a star like Batista waiting for the big reveal, I can't see this paying off well. Also, find a new term other than "Higher Power," because people already started making associations about the WWE angle.
Angle Challenges Anderson: Kurt Angle was back after the Aces and 8s had laid him out prior to a scheduled bout with Mr. Anderson. Angle made his way to the ring and called out Anderson, and stated that next week was open fight night; and that he was challenging Anderson a week ahead of time, in a steel cage match. First of all Anderson's "come put and talk, and get louder, and yell like an idiot" promo style sucks, secondly, hey, let's give away cage matches on free TV! It isn't like Lockdown is coming soon and we should be making feuds that people will pay to see end in a cage. Also, after weeks of teasing that Anderson was considering Aces and 8s, he just shows up this week wearing a vest and hat and is apparently in with little fanfare. FUCK LOGIC!
Joseph Park: Four minutes. This promo got four minutes, and it felt like it lasted forty minutes. I like wacky in wrestling, and some will say that it is not fair tat I bash this because I love CHIKARA, but in CHIKARA, that is the gimmick and it is self contained. I just feel that it is out of place, and I am not a fan. I won't do what others do and bash this for paragraphs on end, I am just not a fan at all. But once again I will add, I appreciate the work the man has done character wise and I commend him for it.
Writing Out Hardy: This is partly about what happened on the show, and partly a business rant. First of all, having Taz cut the promo to setup Aces and Eights going after Hardy is fine, but that was one of the weakest injury angles to take someone out for six weeks that I have ever seen. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that a hammer to the knee wouldn't mess you up, but clumsy masked man stumbles in the ring, hits Hardy in the knee and run, and that will be the excuse to write him off for four weeks of TV? Really now. Not buying it, sorry. Also, the company should be ashamed of themselves for promoting Hardy for the UK tour for upwards of eight months, and then pulling him the week before. They should be a shamed because they have known for MONTHS that Hardy wouldn't be able to go on the tour, but they continually advertised him to sell tickets, and then used the "card subject to change" as the excuse to get out of it. It is shady business, they fucked the UK fans which actually MAKE THEM MONEY EACH YEAR on this tour, and they simply did not care. On top of that, they screwed up TV due to the fact that he will now be out of four weeks of TV. He'll return to Impact on February 28th, which means he will be on ONLY TWO EPISODES OF IMPACT before the Lockdown PPV (Lockdown is March 10th). Great job TNA, great job indeed, hell of a way to build up to one of your four live PPVs a year. You may as well have had Hardy drop the title to Daniels so we could have a champion at least until he returns.
Overall Impact felt like a better show this week, but the little things that are not there are what is hurting the show. I will say that personally, outside of the Joseph Park segment, the show didn't drag and actually went by quickly, which is always nice. This was certainly an improvement over last week, but there is still work to be done.
Show Rating: 6.9
As a reminder, I will be going by the 411 scale…

– Elimination Tag Team Match: Alberto Del Rio, Kane and Daniel Bryan defeated Big Show, Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow @ 13:07 [***]
PUNK… SHIELD… ROCK: I liked the segment featuring Punk, The Shield and The Rock. While their segments on Monday were some of the very few things that were actually good and built to the Rumble, I again say that them appearing on Smackdown to give it an important go home feel is vital to the build of the Rumble and later WrestleMania. I liked Punk calling out the Shield, trying to give the illusion that he has nothing or wants nothing to do with them. The fact that he bragged on top of it that he was the only one with the courage to do that was also one of those, "this guy is so full of himself" moments, and I mean that in a complimentary way. I also really liked the Rock's promo, as he dropped the silly stuff and was more serious as the final lead into the PPV bout. Overall this was a strong segment to sell the title match at he PPV, and it was appreciated after the cold ending of Raw.
MIZ BEATS YOUNG: This was a short little match, which only served the purpose of giving Miz a rehab victory after his loss to Ziggler on Monday. With Miz challenging for the US Title, they needed the last image of him before the title match to be one of him winning, an actually doing his finisher correctly. This did that, it was fine, moving on.
ELIMINATION TAG TEAM MATCH DAWG (™Booker T) BECAUSE THAT's WHAT WE DO ON SMACKDOWN WE FIGHT (™ JBL) or BIG SHOW KILLS BITCHES: Broken record in a positive way this time, but WWE certainly has a knack of putting on good six man tag matches. Either tote wrestling is really good or the booking, or just a combination of both. The work was fine here, but it was the booking, which was all about the Big Show, that I loved. The fact that he got to take out Team Hell No, the way he counted, he way Del Rio knocked him to the floor for the visual 10-count, and then the post match angle where Del Rio may have won, but the giant was left standing. It may not have been perfect, but they set the stage for the number three match on the show (behind the WWE Title Match and the Rumble) and that is a good thing.
MAKING UP FOR RAW's MISTAKES AGAIN: RUMBLE BY THE NUMBERS: Once again, Smackdown is here to fix the problems that happen on Raw. You see, raw is so short on time with the three hour format that they didn't have the time to fit in the Rumble by the Numbers video that just about everyone loves. John Cena's special promo had to take place instead. Much like the Foley Hall of Fame video that didn't air on Raw (which was STUPID), Smackdown fixed what Raw did wrong and aired the video. Thankfully Smackdown found the time to air the video, because Raw is really constrained these days with the small window of three hours to work with.
BACK TO THE SAME OLD SHIT TO START THE SHOW: Team Hell No kicked off the show this week, coming to the ring to ensure people tat even though they have learned to control their anger, tat they had not gone soft. This of course led to them discussing who would win the Rumble, arguing and Big Show coming to the ring. He stated that he would win the world title and that it didn't matter if they won the Rumble. The revolving door kept going as the Rhodes Scholars hit the ring, arguing ensued, Sandow offered the idea that Show team with them to destroy the tag champions. Add in Alberto and Ricardo, more arguing a Booker T appearance and TAG TEAM MAIN EVENT DAWG! Not playa, that would have been a Teddy Long appearance. It served its purpose, but again it is the same old shit; promo, conflict, authority figure appears and makes a match for later tonight. It is fine, but I am simply sick of it.
SHEAMUS vs. BARRETT: Sheamus defeated wade Barrett this week on Smackdown in a fun little match. These guys always seem to work very well together, and I for one enjoy their matches. I have said it before and will say it again, I think that we'll eventually see these guys feuding over one of the big titles down the line, and that is a good thing. But again I will be a broken record here, and state that I absolutely hate that they sacrifice the secondary champions for stuff like this. Sheamus is established, and didn't really need the win to look strong. But Barrett, as IC Champion, getting a quick win and cutting a promo on winning the Rumble and heading to WM as the IC Champion to do what Warrior did (as an example) I feel would have been an even better build and would have been a better use of time for a guy like Barrett.
ORTON vs. 3MB: Randy Orton kicked the shit out of all three members of the 3MB. The3MB are the job squad, Randy Orton stood tall, and we're supposed to think he can win the Rumble on Sunday. It was fine in stat aspect, but remember months ago when I told you not to get too excited about the tag team division? Well Orton and Sheamus and other guys constantly kicking the shit out of these three guys does nothing to help the tag division or them as a group. Just have Orton squash someone one on one and have him pose or better yet, have him cut a promo about winning the rumble and acting like it is important. I just feel this could have been done much better.
NATALYA vs. ROSA: this was an absolute waste of time on the go home show for the Rumble PPV. Yes they have had their bottom of the card feud going on lately, butt his was a badly planned time filler on this show. This match could have been better placed on Superstars, and the time wasted could have been added to the elimination tag or something else with a purpose. And please God, of you're going to do anything with the Divas, please allow Natalya to actually do what she does best and wrestle matches that matter.
Overall I felt that Smackdown did a far better job of selling the Royal rumble PPV than the Raw show on Monday did. While Smacdown may not be flashy and get all of the attention that Raw does, 99 time out of 100 I will take it over Raw. It is a short show, usually has good wrestling and way less bullshit. It wasn't a perfect show by any means, but the focus was mostly on the Rumble PPV; which is exactly where it should have been.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees' contract remains unsettled with talks stalled and chance for a resolution before the team's May 22 organized team activities "practically zero," according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
The NFL deadline for players designated with franchise tags to sign long-term deals is July 16.
Neither side has "has picked up the phone for more than a month to resuscitate talks," Sporting News correspondent Mike Triplett reports on NOLA.com.
The Saints have dealt with a litany of issues this offseason, primarily dealing with the fallout from Bountygate. General manager Mickey Loomis, coach Sean Payton and top aide Joe Vitt were suspended in March. Then, the NFL banished linebacker Jonathan Vilma and defensive end Will Smith.
— Vilma, suspended players appeal | David Whitley: Goodell acts as judge and jury
—SN's David Steele: Saints can't slink away from their sins
Brees' pursuit of a long-term deal is another cloud hanging over the Saints, who were thought to be Super Bowl contenders in 2012 before Roger Goodell's punishment for the pay-to-injure players program.
According to the report, the Saints are offering $18 million to $19 million per year, while Brees is seeking roughly $21 million a season.
Under franchise tag rules, Brees will be paid $16.3 million next season.

[RBS_TOBAC] RuBisCO catalyzes two reactions: the carboxylation of D-ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate, the primary event in carbon dioxide fixation, as well as the oxidative fragmentation of the pentose substrate. Both reactions occur simultaneously and in competition at the same active site.
CheckConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf.
The crystal structure of unactivated ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase from Nicotiana tabacum complexed with a transition state analog, 2-carboxy-D-arabinitol 1,5-bisphosphate, was determined to 2.7 A resolution by X-ray crystallography. The transition state analog binds at the active site in an extended conformation. As compared to the binding of the same analog in the activated enzyme, the analog binds in a reverse orientation. The active site Lys 201 is within hydrogen bonding distance of the carboxyl oxygen of the analog. Loop 6 (residues 330-339) remains open and flexible upon binding of the analog in the unactivated enzyme, in contrast to the closed and ordered loop 6 in the activated enzyme complex. The transition state analog is exposed to solvent due to the open conformation of loop 6.

Nice shots there. Haven't played much of the Xbox version, but I would have though they'd do a heap of anti-aliasing considering the low resolution they generally have to output in.

Headlights light up CJ, Headlights light up CJ on a bike, or in a car......Headlights do not light up cars.
Street lights show their colour on CJ, Streetlights show their colour on CJ on a bike (or in a car if you can see it)........ Streetlights do not light up vechiles at all.
The only thing that changes a cars lighting or shading is the ambient light.... going from a dark area into a bright area and vice versa.
The effect of noticing each light you went under on the ps2, carried onto the PC version fantastically (i have to agree it's the top dog), but someone forgot to drag it from the desktop and into the xbox folder.
So we're left with a game with no source lightmapping. Only ambient lighting.
God knows how they blew this.
Don't get me wrong, it's a not a huuuuuuuuge deal, but it's very noticeable especially if you've played the ps2 version.....and extremely noticable if you've played the PC version.

But all the reflects, the sun effects, the new gameplay etc... make this game better than PS2 version
I play to it 24/24 and i don't really care of the graphics, in a screen, it can be awful, but in the game, we can't see that ^^

|What's with the pc fanboydom... I mean the xbox is a $150 system ffs. Of course console isn't going to look as good as pc, some people can't afford PCs powerful enough look a billion times better than console games. Not that I don't agree that PC owns consoles, and I do have a pc of my own that is a lot better than xbox, but give it a break with all these "PC IS BETTAR" posts... That is a well-known fact, we don't need reminders every post after a console version of the game's screenshots are posted.
yea I know it's dead annoying, I don't see the point of them stating the obvious all the time, omgorz pC versi0n pwnnzz c0ns0l3 versi0nz, damn idiots, anyway it's gameplay > graphics for me, that's why I play the ps2 version but some people just want perfection but i wish the morons would just stop obessing about what other people play gta games on.
Posted 19 June 2005 - 09:49 AM
Xbox version has horrible lighting.
Without a decent computer to run the pc version, and due to it's faults at the moment.
PS2 is easily the better one..... at the moment.
(officially the pc version kills it, but audio glitches are a problem for me)

KEYSTONE HEIGHTS, Fla. - A Clay County mother who made international news nearly three years ago when a photo surfaced of her baby with a bong has now been arrested again.
Rachel Stieringer, 22, was arrested last month on charges of conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine with a child present, possession of a listed chemical, and maintaining a dwelling for the manufacture of meth.
She's being held in the Clay County jail with bail set at $225,009. Stieringer pleaded not guilty in court Wednesday, and her next court date was set for July 16.
Stieringer had been placed in a pretrial intervention program in March 2011 after a photo showed Stieringer's 11-month-old son with his lips on a bong. Investigators said a friend of the boy's mother posted the picture on Facebook.
This photo appearing to show a baby smoking a bong circulated on the Internet.
Detectives said Stieringer admitted to having the bong in her bedroom. She told investigators she was cleaning her room one day and her young son crawled in and put the pipe up to his mouth, according to court documents.
Stieringer was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia. Detectives said tests on the bong were negative for drugs.
Stieringer completed the four-month intervention program, maintaining custody of her toddler, and the charges against her were dismissed.
The next court date for Stieringer on her latest charges is set for Wednesday.
