The new version of Par4All 1.2 has been published on 07/08/2011.
The changelog is available here.
HPC Project announces its new High Performance appliance, Wild Cruncher, dedicated to numerical simulation users.
The primary goal for Wild Cruncher is to bridge the gap between prototyping and production phases for system engineering. This is made possible through code analysis and optimization technologies on which HPC Project has based its success.
For more information the press announce in English and in French
Paris March 18, 2011 – HPC Project introduces the 1.1 version of Par4All open parallelization platform with automatic code generation for the NVIDIA GPU based hybrid computing architectures. This version brings a significant performance improvement on the execution time of the generated code.
Par4All is the industrial implementation of a technology developed by the teams of CRI/Mines ParisTech and Télécom Bretagne. Its goal is to allow industrial users to meet the challenge of multi-cores architectures and other parallel processors for generic or embedded systems. From a C or FORTRAN application, Par4All automatically generates a parallel code to OpenMP or CUDA (compilable on NVIDIA GPU). The generated code is readable and completely traceable with the original code. The whole process works like a usual compilation.
The code generated with Par4All version 1.1 is significantly faster at execution time. This is due to the new static data-flow analyzer. This new analyzer allows the optimization of the communications between host and GPU as well as allocations to the GPU. Practical examples of applications are available on www.Par4All.org/documentation/benchmarks
HPC Project was established in December 2007. HPC Project is a pioneer in developing tools and strategies for high performance computing and code optimization. HPC Project goal is to bring the power of supercomputer on the engineer's desk.

I bought a Groupon and booked only to be turned away due to others not turning up however, rebooking was a nightmare. Several phone calls and 7 emails later I decided to complain to Groupon AND trading Standards and Im not alone. I know some others that have had this problem PLUS if you read other review centres they are (fair to say) known for this - they took my money (and others) and didnt provide the ride.
The decent thing to do is to issue me with a refund or at the very least take my calls.

McGuffin Creative Group Announces 2014 Recipient Of The McGuffin Grant
Jun 11, 2014, 11:30 ET from McGuffin Creative Group
CHICAGO, June 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- McGuffin Creative Group, an advertising and communications agency based in Chicago's West Loop, has awarded the San Diego-based nonprofit Traveling Stories its 2014 McGuffin Grant.
Founded in 2010, Traveling Stories (travelingstories.org) establishes libraries in villages around the world – communities that previously had little or no access to books. The group also offers free literacy coaching to underserved communities in the US through their Story Tents, which are set up at farmers markets and other public events, offering a comfortable, encouraging reading oasis for kids. The organization was chosen among several qualified applicants to receive $25,000 in creative strategies and design solutions from McGuffin.
In their application, the group asked McGuffin to help them craft an identity for, and help build awareness of, a new social franchise program that will allow people who believe in the Traveling Stories mission to open an international library or launch a local Story Tent under the Traveling Stories brand umbrella.
"We received applications from several remarkable groups, so the choice of a recipient was especially hard this year," says Chris Sculles, president of McGuffin Creative Group. "But as a group of communicators, we gravitated toward Traveling Stories' belief in the ability of literacy to open the doors of opportunity. Just as important, we felt their social franchising objective was well-defined and meshed with the things the McGuffin Grant does best."
Now in its fourth year, the McGuffin Grant was created to provide one nonprofit organization each year free access to McGuffin's team of designers, copywriters and strategists. The agency's work is determined by the client's needs and goals, and can include the creation of marketing campaigns or solving specific challenges with a brand, among other things.
McGuffin Creative Group is a 25-member creative agency whose specialties range from branding to advertising, web design to direct marketing. Founded in 2004, some of the firm's clients include BMO Harris Bank, Allstate, Cadence Health and Cars.com.

|SC verdict must be respected by government: Sibal
It is the Supreme Court's prerogative to test the constitutionality of the law and their verdict on homosexuality as an offence must be respected by the government, Law Minister Kapil Sibal said Wednesday.
"It is the prerogative of the Supreme Court to judge the constitutionality and validity of the law. The opinion of the Supreme Court must be respected by the government. They have exercised their prerogative now, we shall exercise ours," Kapil Sibal told reporters outside parliament.
Supreme Court Wednesday held that consensual sex between adults of the same gender is an offence as it set aside the Delhi High Court verdict of 2009. The Delhi High Court had decriminalised sexual relationship between adults of the same gender under Section 377.

text: Posted January 26, 2014 · Report post Some background info about me is that I've had acne since I was about 12-14 and have tried everything to get rid of it. I started doing the caveman regimen for about 6 months or so and have had great success in improving my acne. The only problem I'm having is when I exfoliate (about once a week) it only gets like one layer of dead skin and I spend the next couple days trying to get the little bits and pieces left behind. It doesn't matter if i scrub lightly or hard with my washcloth the same thing happens the next couple days. Is this because I used chemical products for about 7-8 years on my face and it's going to be like that for a while? Any help is appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

59 Tasting Notes
I received a sample of this tea with my regular order (policy of the company, which is very nice).
The company website and description has me a bit baffled. It says the taste is/should be sweet and floral. Perhaps I brewed it wrong, though I don't really think so as the tea turned out to taste pretty good, just not sweet and floral, but rather very much like raw chestnuts. It also smells of chestnuts, olive oil and/or some kind of vegetable I can't put my finger on. Furthermore it has a distinctly woody quality.
Perhaps the website refers to the aged Tieguanyin, while I received the non-aged or less-aged version? (The website links through to a page about the farm, where a number of varieties are mentioned, while the website itself shows pictures of a yellow/amber coloured brew and a burnt orange coloured brew).
Anyway, it has a comforting warm but at the same time strangly crisp energizing character.
I'm sorry I can't describe it more accurately, but it just isn't like any tea I've tasted before. Maybe the taste is typical for oolongs, but this is just my second – the first being a Chinese "milky oolong" of undisclosed origin.
A very interesting tea in a positive way. Probably something I'll be ordering in the near furtur (maybe even today… :-)).
I really liked this, thank you! I think I am definetely a oolong (green oolong) persona after all.
Also from a swap, I tried Ten Ren´s Sun Moon Lake, a high mountain oolong from Tai Wan which was excellent.
Good to hear! I really like the oolongs myself as well. Currently I'm moving a bit toward the darker oolongs, which are really good as well (Red Robe and such).
I am pretty interested in blacks blacks right now as well – but glad I got over thinking I did not care much for oolongs.
I received a sample of this tea from Cteresa – thanks again ;-) – and liked it so much that I recently bought Histoire Tibetaine from THE O DOR as it resembles this tea ingredient wise.
These teas are similar in some respects but certainly not the same.
Starting with the basis: both teas contain vanilla, bergamot and jasmine. The HT adds marigold and uses a base of black and green tea. The TT adds mandarin orange and rose and uses a base of black tea.
Although the vanilla and jasmine are very recognizable in both teas, they vere into entirely different directions taste wise.
In the HT the vanilla is really in the forefront, both scent and tastewise. De jasmine prevents the brew becoming too sweet. The bergamot and marigold aren't really recognizable, at least not to me (actually I don't even know what marigold smells and tastes like). The tea is warm, sweet and comforting in character. The floral notes remain in the background.
In the TT on the other hand the floral notes – and especially the rose – are at the forefront. Together with the black tea base this makes for an edgier tea with a slight smokey feeling. The vanilla is cetainly present but seems to be in a supporting role rather than a leading one. As the tea cools the vanilla becomes more noticeable btw.
It's really great to see how two teas with for a great part the same ingredients can be so different in character. They actually aren't comparable at all :-)
I like both teas. For the TT that's something, as I actually don't like rose in my tea and usually try to avoid rose scented teas. The HT is more of a 'happy feeling' tea as the TT is more elegant and sophisticated. Being a sweet tooth I'd probably choose the HT over the TT most times, but I can imagine that being different for others.
Prep details: HT 80 C/ 4:30 min & TT 95 C/ 4:30 min
Rating is for TT only. This review has been posted under HT too and give it's rating there
loved to read your opinion, thank you! It sounds like two great teas, each their own thing.
a quibble, I think Thé au Tibet is also a mix of green and black or it has some green on it, maybe not too much, but I think it is there (the same way mariage freres casablanca which everybody classes as green tea has some black tea in the mix as well!). It is indeed very refined, like their description but a totally charming nice refined!
And funnily enough Palais des Thés famous Thé des Moines also uses the tibetan "secret" recipe thing, and is also a bergamot with fruity-flowers thing.
And calendula, I am not sure they give any flavour at all – nor cornflowers or mallow flowers, I think they are just there to be pretty.
Yes, I saw that some of the reviews mentioned that, but the website of Marriage Freres only states black chinese tea… so I stuck to that. Do you have the tin or an original package with an ingredientlist? You could check that then… Either way, it's a very good tea :-)
Do you mean marigold is the same as calendula? That I do know, albeit only from soap :-) And you're right it doesn't really smell that much.
I love cornflowers in tea, they look so pretty.
a whole lot of plants get called marigold, real old-style marigolgs are calendula officinalis and that is what should be included – it is one of those plants which are eaten safely. But tagetes, which are a newer to Europe family of plants (new as in a few centuries, not a few decades) and I think they are not used to much in salads. So theoretically marigolds in tea should be calendula officinalis.
Cornflowers are pretty but I get the feeling cornflowers or sunflowers or marigolds are annoyingly just fillers, you are paying tea prices for you know fillers – if a lot it weakens tea if you do not had more tea to balance the space used by the fillers.
about the green tea, oh I think I have the box but the boxes are totally unhelpful, they say in Portuguese or french, tea and flavourings _(really!) and expiration date. Exact flavourings is always a guess, though the french mariage site is more helpful than the english one. But I think just from looking at the tin you can tell that Thé au Tibet includes some green tea and Casablanca includes some black tea, it´s just there. it´s not too obvious from a sample but looks more obvious in the tin, or even this photo is interesting
it might not be really green tea, they might use something in between, but just from looking at it, no it´s not like any "pure" black tea I ever seen! (and admittedly they do admit casablanca has black tea http://www.mariagefreres.com/boutique/FR/ft+casablanca-boite-classique-100g+TC908.html)
I see your point. However the green in the Cassablanca could be teh mint or not? (I'm not very good at recognizing plants and such :-)). And there are black teas that have golden tips, or even greenish bits:
so I'm not sure… But I agree the picture on Marriage Freres makes one suspect…
Nah, I think in Casablanca you can see the black tea (which is the bergamot carrier I think) and the black tea, unmistable, the mint is sadly much less visible and crumblier – Casablanca is one messy tea! As the blend ages, the mint gets crumblier and crumblier, only my beloved magic tea filter can handle that.
and yes indeed some black teas can look very light, darjeelings often! Oxidation is not a discrete variable, sort of a continuum, what i meant is the tea used in Thé au Tibet, even if "black" and not a blend is not at the edges of the black-green spectrum!
I bought this tea because the ingredients and the smell reminded me of The au Tibet, of which Cteresa so kindly sent me a sample and which I really liked.
These teas are similar in some respects but certainly not the same.

Rating is for HT only. I'll post this review under TT too and give it's rating there.
I received a free sample of this with my order from Tea-adventure. This one was included as "extra" sample in addition to the two free samples of your choice you get with every order anyway. Thanks so much!
If I'd had a choice, I wouldn't have chosen a Jasmine tea sample and I would have missed out on something worthwhile. I'm not really a big fan of Jasmine or other flowers as sole means of perfuming/flavouring tea. That doesn't mean I can't stomach jasmine, but in my experience flower scented teas are prone to boardering on 'soapy'. In general I prefer fruits and spices with or even to flowers.
Anyway, as I received a sample, I felt compelled to try it. Afterall, one never knows… and as they say good deeds reap rewards. I actually really liked this jasmine tea. The white needle base has an inherent sweetness that balances the jasmine very nicely. I find this tea much more tasty than the classic green tea based jasmine.
All in all a pleasant surprise. I may just order this tea sometime in the future, maybe for the summer.
I only have the idea to drink a cup of Jasmin tea when I have lunch in a Chinese or Japanese restaurant…I am weird, it's such a delicate flavour
I understand what you mean. For me the two always seemed intertwined as well. After all it's the main tea served at chinese restaurants, at leat here in the Netherlands. But that jasmine tea is definately of a much lower quality.
The cheap chinese jasmine tea is really cheap (I have bought big tins for 2 euros something) but still amazing value for money all things considered because it still is pretty drinkable. But great jasmine tea, ah that is something else altogether – my favorite right now is from a small traditional shop that I do not know from where they order.
But there is a very good and expensive authentic chinese restaurant around (macau and all that) and they serve really wonderful tea with dim-sum. Jasmine as well – but not sure if dim-sum really is the time for great tea, you keep having strong tasting things (so far, have avoided the jelly fish, though the chicken legs surprisingly have potential, pity about the bones) and getting the pot refilled
As a student I used to work for a chinese boss. His family had a restaurant around the corner from where I worked and somethimes his family would arrange for dinner to be bought in to him. He loved his chicken feet. I thought they didn't really look very appetizing (esp. the claws) so I've never tried.
I received a free sample of this with my order. As I couldn't find any instructions on brewing temp & time, I just stuck to my average green tea temp & time (80 C/ 3 min).
De dry leaf smells very 'green' with a note of seaweed. The smell is very similar, though mellower when brewed.
At first it has a very fresh, somewhat 'peppery', brisk taste with some astringency. The sides of my tongue tintle a little. After a few mouthfulls the taste mellows and a sweeter note presents itself. It's as if some component of the tea coats the inside of your mouth and thus changes your perception of the taste. In the aftertaste I think I detect something mineral like, although I'm not entirely sure. It's something I haven't tasted in other teas before.
This is an interesting tea, though not really to my taste. Perhaps I'd review it differently during a hot summer day, when I prefer more 'fresh' tastes. If you like straight green teas, this tea definitely is worth trying, despite my not being overly enthousiastic. After all tastes differ and my palette may just not be mature enough to adequately appreciate this tea.
EDIT: I decided to remove my rating because I just can't honestly rate a tea that is evidently of good quality but just isn't to my taste.
I recieved a very generous sample of The du Loup today when buying yet another tin of Theodor. I'm starting to feel like some kind of repeat record, but what a great tea! Considering that I have never liked a chocolate tea before, that's saying something. Somehow this blend just works.
With other chocolate teas my overall feeling always used to be that it tries to substitute hot chocolate (the: this-is-good-for-your-diet-and-if-you-could-only-believe-it-preferable-to-the-real-thing). With this tea I don't have that feeling. Of course it's has a strong chocolate flavour and – especially – smell and isn't 'the real thing', but it has such an own identity that I don't feel cheated by the fact.
I'll definately be buying this one!
I must say that Theodor at present is my favourite brand for flavoured teas.
They are also my current favorite for flavoured teas – and my next large tea order will be of their teas!
Sadly I am probably going to rebuy 3 – milky oolong (oh yeah, if I can be sure it is their milky oolong, thé du loup because it just seemed to disappear and fussy family members loved it, and carpe diem because it is sort of a perfectn rooibos. I would probably rebuy Melange de Galice but am using it more slowly!
My wishlist is peché mignon though I can not find it. I would love to buy Sans Soute, another one I smelled but did not buy at the time and can not find now hecause that shop closed – green tea with berries, whole black berries and I am sure I would love it. Of the ones I might buy but will have to ruthlessly choose just a couple:
- Baya, another rooibos, and one I smelled at a shop which now closed and smelled divinely (divinely strange, but divine nonetheless).
- Inachevee de Constantinople
- Adele H
- Madame (sounds so weird indeed, but I like lapsang souchong so I might not resist this discontinued one).
- Rouge Revolution or Yan Krasnaia – not a high priority but still
-On Va se Revoir – mint green tea with twists, it sounds intriguing.
On their main website they have many more teas I would love to try, including some single origins, but I will be sensible and order from a national store and save on shipping costs.
Hahaha, that's really going to be a large order! I'm going to have an extra look into some of the teas you've mentioned. Might be something of interest there for me as well. Although my shelf in de kitchen is full already and my partner isn't very happy about me occupying even more space (the kitchen is his domain). :-)
I am not going to get all of it, will ruthlessly edit and get maybe 3 to 5 teas. It will be very painful to edit down my real wishlist but will have to do it (which is why I have not got baya and sans doute already, sigh… shop closed before I could go get them).
Teas need their own corner! Tea space does not really count, it is a sign of civilication. Though I admit to a) getting some ikea shelves so i can stack b) prefer tins which can be stacked easily to use as much space as possible c) be a tin fetishist in general and keep buying tins to put my loose teas in (tiger has many cheap tins)
You make a good argument, but ultimately they're just excuses – which I'll glady repeat in the domestic arena here ;-)
and d) awww tins are so pretty and they got collectable value.
I can swear to this in a signed affidavit if you need backup!
(And tell him about using tea in cooking. matcha in some things, lapsang souchong in things with umami, earl grey can be magical to soak for example raisins, etc)
So here I am, waiting for my first cup of White Needle tea to brew. I bought this tea in the hope that it would make a suitable alternative to the Theodor J.E. Yin Zhen b/c of it's price. With a view to comparison I brewed both teas simultaniously.
Here's a picture with Theodor on the left and Tea-adventure on the right before brewing: [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/2qxz0og.jpg[/IMG]
The buds of Theodor are slimmer than those of Tea-adventure. I don't know which size is better. The 'fatter' buds look nicer/neater though.
Here's a picture of both teas after brewing and before lifting the strainers out: [IMG]http://i49.tinypic.com/4lhkqu.jpg[/IMG]
Theodor's tea looks a little 'messier' with more small(er) particles and a few brownish buds. The left tea is Theodor and the right tea is Tea-adventure.
Let me start by stating that both teas taste great. The colour of the liquid of Theodor is a tad more saturated than that of Tea-adventure. The same goes for the smell and taste. Theodore's buds smell more 'hay-ish' and have a tast that's a bit bolder.
So which one is better? I honestly don't know. I do know that I prefer the lighter and slightly more fresh or less 'hay-ish' smell of Tea-adventure's white, but as regarding the taste, it will probably be dependant upon my mood. My boyfriend prefers the more bold taste of Theodor's tea and is of the opinion that he doesn't really smell either tea (which may be due to the chocolate he ate right before tasting).
Is this a good alternative to Theodor's? YES, definately. There isn't a great difference in smell and taste, while the price is a lot friendlier.
I'll be resteeping to see if that ferrets out any further differences… :-)
Ok I totally forgot about my 2nd steep. I was having a look at – or better drooling over – Theodor's Histoire Tibetaine and The du Loup and totally lost track of time… I'm not sure how long it steeped. It may be anywhere between 5 and 15 minutes. Theodor's tea becomes too 'heavy' to my taste with such long steeping times, something I've commented on before in my taste note regarding that tea. The Tea-adventure tea becomes a bit bolder without becoming too heavy…
It seems interesting! I love silver needles – and a tip try bai mu dan (white peony) tea as well. Silver needle is supposedly better, but bai mu dan is more floral, and it can be so excellent as well while being a bit cheaper (or I have the palate of a peasant, which is also possible)
And forgot to ask, Histoire Tibetane, do let me know what you think! Description makes it sound a lot like Mariage´s Thé au Tibet (light bergamot with vanilla and jasmine and flowers) so either it might really *be tibetan (vanilla??). Thé au Tibet had an old name before they changed to Thé au Tibet.
I'm so happy!! A few minutes ago the postman deliverd my first order from tea-adventure :-).
The first impression is favourable. The teas are packaged in aluminium foil coated bags with ziplocks, the kind where you have to cut off the top part before being able to open the ziplock and these bags were placed in a cardboard box. What I especially like about this is that (a) de bags can be used for storage due to the ziplock and (b) the tea leaves can't get crushed in transit b/c of the box.
I'm having my first cup of yellow tea ever. It is very reminiscent of Dragon Well, although – perhaps – with a somewhat different aftertaste. I'm not really sure what it is. A bit 'peppery'? A very very slight smokey-ness? Is it the chessnut note? I'll first have to taste both this tea and the Dragon Well to try and pinpoint the difference so I won't be rating this tea at this point.
Anyways a very good start of the weekend :-)

Art abounds in the city of trees--it's easy to find and there's usually something for every aesthetic temperament. The following is just a sampling of what you might find on your First Thursday art walk this week. Check the First Thursday listings for a lot more.
Gallery 601: "Flying High With Bill Phillips"
William S. Phillips is well-known for his aviation-themed art and you only have to go as far as the post office to see a familiar image: Phillips was selected in 1997 by the U.S. Postal Service to paint the stamp illustrations for a sheet of 20 stamps entitled "Classic American Aircraft" (which became the second-best-selling stamp in 1997) and was was choosen again this year to illustrate another series, "American Advances in Aviation." (Coincidentally, I recently bought a sheet and sent the B-29 "Superfortress" to my grandfather, a veteran of a B-29.)
Phillips success might be attributed to a combination of old chestnuts like "do what you know" and "do what you love": He was chosen in 1988 to be a U.S. Navy combat artist and received the Navy's Meritorious Public Service Award and the Air Force Sergeants Association's Americanism Medal for his service. He has had shows at the Smithsonian's National Aviation and Space Museum, the Naval Aviation Museum and the Airmen Memorial Museum.
At the gallery this month, Phillips will exhibit his latest works, a series of landscapes. But don't worry, the airplanes are still in the picture, so to speak. Phillips' collection of aviation art, Into the Sunlit Splendor, was published this year by the Greenwich Workshop Press and will also be available for purchase at the First Thursday event.
Gallery 601, 211 N. 10th St., 336-5899, www.gallery601.com.
J Crist Gallery: Arts for Kids Fundraiser
The J Crist Gallery simultaneously celebrates its 10th year and opens the doors on its new gallery space with a new exhibition, Christine Raymond's Awakening (see page 33 for a review of the show).
Yet even with a lot to crow about, J Crist Gallery is putting the focus on their First Thursday event on something else. Partnering with the Boise City Arts Commission, J Crist will hold a fundraiser the the BCAC's Arts for Kids summer workshop program. Arts for Kids is a program that provides children in the Boise area with the opportunity to experience artistic and creative discovery through hands-on activities and to encourage year-round participation in the arts, thus engendering a knowledge (and hopefully love) of art in kids at an early age.
The Arts for Kids project, with a projected 2,000 participants, depends a lot on volunteers, private and business donations and events like the J Crist-sponsored fundraiser. "We are extremely grateful to the J Crist Gallery for this public-private partnership," says Tamera Cameron, the BCAC's performing arts manager. "It's forward-thinking that Jacque and her staff see the importance of providing support for the next generation of artists. This kind of support allows us to continue to provide Arts for Kids free of charge."
The evening will feature hors d'oeuvres and drinks provided by Red Feather Lounge, raffle tickets for artwork, and music by Darkwood Consort. Money raised will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the gallery.
Arts for Kids Fundraiser, 5-8 p.m., $1 at the door, $1 hors d'oeuvres and drinks and $1 raffle tickets for artwork, J Crist Gallery, 223 S. 17th St., 336-2671, www.jcrist.com.
BAM: Katy Stone's "Fall"
Georgia O'Keeffe may have been a big draw over the summer at BAM--perhaps the big name overshadowing everything else in the museum at the same time. But just because the exhibit ended mid-September doesn't mean BAM doesn't have other artistic cards tricks up its sleeve.
Since January, Katy Stone's art installation, entitled appropriately Fall, has graced the museum's sculpture court (see BW's review, "Painting as Sculpture," by Christopher Schnoor, May 4, 2005). The site-specific installation is created from thousands of streams of hand-painted acetate (a synthetic, plastic-like material) and gracing surfaces from walls to windows to the floor.
Using acrylic paints, Stone paints images on the acetate, then cuts the images to a shape, installing the formations to be viewed as both painting and sculpture. The transparency of the material allows light to pass through, producing shimmering reflections and shadows.
With pieces like Cascade, Red Fall and White Roots, the sculptures are inspired by nature and occurrences in nature.
The museum's regular First Thursday feature, Studio Art Exploration, is from 5-8 p.m. Participants will use transparent material to create artwork inspired by Stone's exhibit.
In conjunction with the winding down of the BAM exhibition, Stone will also deliver a lecture as part of Boise State's Visiting Artist and Scholar Series on October 13 at the Idaho Historical Museum.
Exhibit runs through October 16, Boise Art Museum, 670 Julia Davis Dr., 345-8330, www.boiseartmuseum.org.
Stone's lecture is at 6 p.m. on October 13 at the Idaho Historical Museum, 610 Julia Davis Dr., 334-2120. The event is FREE and open to the public.

Willie Nelson and the Lesson of Failed Marriages
Willie Nelson, the legendary country musician, has framed himself as an "outlaw." He flaunted the conventional norms of the Nashville music industry, and even, legend says, smoked marijuana in the Carter White House. He's less of an outlaw, though, when he talks about the sadness of his failed marriages. There's something in the way he speaks about divorce that I think resonates across culture today, something we need to hear.
Nelson married his first wife when he was eighteen and has been married, repeatedly, ever since. As a matter of fact, he once was married (accidentally, he says) in the 1970s to two women at one time. Even so, Nelson reveals to his biographer that he doesn't believe there's such a thing as an ex-wife.
"There is no such thing as an ex-wife, there are only additional wives," Nelson says. "It's an accumulation."

Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Preview @ GamingTrend
This E3 preview of Deus Ex: HR at GamingTrend is a few days old but has some reasonable detail:
Our demonstration skips forward to show some more elements of the game. Using a second suit called a Commando suit (it looks not unlike a nano suit), we dash from cover to cover avoiding cameras and soldiers alike. Seeing that the front gate is heavily guarded, we used our strength augments to move some nearby crates, allowing us to sneak around the fence. Using that same augment, we stack a box next to a security shed. Jumping into the skylight, we step in behind a soldier manning a computer and put our hidden sword through his spine. Taking control of the computer, we turn off the nearby cameras. Other options were taking control of turrets and opening otherwise sealed doors, but we'll have to wait to see those in action, as well as the hacking mechanic – neither were ready for prime time quite yet. Sneaking out of the back of the building we spear another soldier to a nearby box with a crossbow bolt to the skull. Closing distance on another soldier, we cut him to ribbons with a rapid takedown. Jonathan explains that these takedowns are completely contextual and that none of them are pre-determined. Two nearby guards were carrying on a conversation, unaware of what we'd done to their comrades. Jumping directly in between them, we dispatch them both simultaneously and silently. Going a little louder, we use an augment to see through a concrete wall. A soldier resting against this wall got a surprise as we used our strength augment to punch through the concrete, twisting his head like it was made of bundled paper.

Tagged: grid, link handling, Portfolio
Hello everyone,
FYI, I am a newb and sorry in advance if my explanations aren't clear enough, i'll do my best!
I am using the Enfold theme for my website and would like to change the link handling of the portfolio grid.
My problem is that the AJAX portfolio doesn't suit my need because only a preview of the entry shows up in a lightbox and I would like to display the whole entry (the whole page/post) in the lightbox.
I am trying to do so by using the "lightbox plus Colorbox" plugin, but didn't manage so far. I think I would need to use the following code sample:
Secondary Lightbox (External Page Demo - WordPress.Org in iFrame)
Could someone help me using it or give me an alternative to have my entire posts poping up in lightboxes from clicking on the portfolio grid elements? Please help! :)
This is a bit complicated. You might need to hire a freelance developer to modify the theme for you.
The topic 'Modify potfolio grid link handling' is closed to new replies.

I'm Fat and Proud No Matter What Chip Wilson Says
Lululemon founder, Chip Wilson, recently said that the problem with his company's yoga pants is really a problem with some women's bodies. It appears they believe that plus-sized women don't engage in yoga, and what's more, they shouldn't deserve to. Why? Because their bodies don't work with Lululemon's vision of what someone engaging in yoga should look like.

After Shootings, Push in Albany for Tougher Gun Laws
New York Times wrote about Senator Gianaris' initatives that aim to improve public safety by enforcing stricter laws that limit gun trafficing and stockpiling of ammunition.
In the wake of mass shootings in Colorado and Wisconsin and an uptick in gun violence in New York City, lawmakers are planning a new push in Albany to win approval of tighter gun laws in New York State.
One measure introduced last week would require background checks of anyone buying ammunition. Another, being drafted this week, would limit the purchase of firearms to one per person per month.
Supporters of the measures said they would fill several gaps in New York's gun laws, which are already among the toughest in the country, and make them more complete than any other state's in discouraging gun crime.
"There comes a point where one has to say enough is enough," said State Senator Michael N. Gianaris, Democrat of Queens. "How many tragedies have to occur before we take even the most basic, sensible measures to reduce gun violence?"

Article — From the March 2011 issue
Thus I found myself idling in that fifth-floor rehearsal room. The man in the turtleneck presiding over the group with clipboards turned out to be Christopher Mattaliano, the show's director.
"Folks," he called out a few times, but conversation continued largely untroubled by this intrusion. He pressed on with the genially put-upon air of a well-meaning father, introducing the stage managers and production assistants behind him. When the room finally quieted, he told us about the show.
Esther debuted under Mattaliano's direction in 1993, part of a festival celebrating City Opera's fiftieth birthday. (Despite positive notices, the opera hadn't been staged anywhere since.) Its structure was circular, Mattaliano told us. "The first scene, what we're working on now, takes place after the battle between the Jews and Persians is over. There's a grave digger here, ready to bury Haman. That's the bad guy, the guy who started this, you know, pogrom. Now we've got him hanging up above us with his ten sons. Very dramatic. Then later we're going to jump back in time, then we'll move all the way back up to the battle and end right back here again." He gave a broad wave to dramatize this temporal excitement.
Some of the supers would begin as mendicant Jews and then go on to play soldiers and dignitaries and even Haman's ill-fated sons. I would remain a Jew throughout, appearing in four of Esther's scenes: the opening and its reprisal at the end of the show, a scene with Esther at the end of the second act, and another with Esther's uncle, Mordecai, at the beginning of the third.
As yet, there were no hanging bodies and no grave digger, but a wide rectangle of electrical tape marked out a grave on the floor. Much of the room had been divided to indicate the outlines of the stage, the blocking of the principal singers, and other elements of the production. This all made sense enough, but throughout the first rehearsal I remained uncertain of which wall represented the audience.
Mattaliano put us into groups of two or three that would enter the scene together. I was placed with a small, muscular man named Tom Jones, who wore a tight tank top and walked with a significant limp.
"This is a big victory," Mattaliano continued. "You're happy. But a lot of lives have been lost, so it's bittersweet."
He picked out a few supers to whom he gave specific directions: You two are relieved to see each other; You're wounded; You're looking for someone you love. He put the smallest woman over the shoulder of a bulky man.
"The rest of you folks," he said, "just come up with some good business on your own."
Perhaps sensing that I had never before been called on to come up with my own good business, Tom Jones deliberated and let me know that his would involve falling to the ground in exhaustion immediately upon entering the scene, which meant that I could occupy myself with helping him back up. After acting out our individual bits, the supers would gather together into an amorphous whole that would scurry around the grave to the back of the stage.
With no music and none of the lead performers present, stage managers standing on either side of the room gave us our entrance cues. What followed was odd clusters of people, cordoned off within seemingly arbitrary lines of tape, running around and occasionally into one another, the resulting chaos not especially suggestive of a return home from battle. Though warned of his dramatic intentions, I was in no way prepared for the sheer enthusiasm with which Tom Jones threw himself at the hardwood floor, and I stood over him for a moment in shock before helping him up. It seemed possible that his limp had been caused by years of such dedicated supernumerating. At any rate, the task of getting him standing again proved more than merely performative. When we'd finished, Mattaliano didn't look pleased, but neither did he look as distressed as he might have.
"Okay," he said, dragging the word out thoughtfully. "This will all make more sense as we move along."
After two more attempts, during which little noticeable progress was made, we took a break. I spoke with a super named Dennis, who had been standing off to the side for most of the rehearsal. Dennis was a "cover," an understudy for the male supers who would go on if one of us missed a show. He was blond and at once muscular and feminine in the manner of a dancer, which, it turns out, he was.
"I'm in the ballet," he explained. "But now I'm transitioning into . . ." He waved his hand knowingly at the room, though it was tough to discern exactly what career play his gesture signified.

Blythe Intaglios
These remarkable intaglios (anthropomorphic geoglyphs) are found near Blythe, Calif., in the Colorado Desert, along the Colorado River. Created simply by scraping away layers of darker rocks to reveal the lighter rocks beneath, the figures have remained preserved over the millennia thanks to the dryness of the region.
Believed to have been originally created by the Mojave and Quechan Indians around A.D. 1000, the figures weren't discovered until 1932, when a pilot happened to look down and notice them.

It appears that the phone boot-loops for a bit until it lands in into ClockworkMod Recovery v184.108.40.206. The CyanogenMod logo appears at initial boot.
This recovery tool seems to have no external microSD card access. I already have ADB on my Win7 machine and was able to install a driver for the S3 to allow me to sideload via command prompt.
I attempted to do this with a copy of the stock ROM without root access.
Initially I was forced to update a line on the script to bypass the invalid number of arguments roadblock, but later encountered this:
Finding update package... Opening update package... Installing update... set_perm: some changes failed E:Error in /tmp/update.zip (Status 7) Installation aborted.
Thanks for the brainpower

UK Radiation Research Trust - a UK based charity focused on the health effects of electromagnetic fields from wireless technologies - along with other international health advocacy groups on two continents today released a report called "Cellphones and Brain Tumors: 15 Reasons for Concern, Science, Spin and the Truth Behind Interphone". The report was released by a collaborative group of international EMF activists: the groups affiliated with the report include Powerwatch and the Radiation Research Trust in the U.K and in the U.S., EMR Policy Institute, ElectromagneticHealth.org and The Peoples Initiative Foundation. The report has been endorsed by leading scientists and physicians worldwide, including Ronald Herberman, MD, Director Emeritus of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, Martin Blank,PhD of Columbia University (www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6wLFeIrCtU) and David Carpenter, MD, Director, Institute for Health and the Environment, University at Albany. It was also released to the media, globally, as well as to the U.S. Congress.

Pressure has been mounting on governments around the world to protect children from cell phone radiation. Russian officials have recommended children under the age of 18 years not use cell phones at all. Similarly, the United Kingdom, Israel, Belgium, Germany and India have discouraged use of cell phones by children. In Finland, the Radiation and Nuclear Power Authority has urged parents to err on the side of caution. France is nearing the point where it will make it illegal to market cell phones to children, and recently banned mobile phones in elementary schools.
Radiation emitted from wireless technologies has been shown in scientific research to show leakage of the blood-brain-barrier, and deleterious effects on sperm, including decreased sperm counts and reduced sperm motility, among many other biological effects. Studies independent of industry, consistently show there is a "significant" risk of brain tumours from mobile phone use.
Recently, in Austria, The Austrian Social Insurance for Occupational Risk (AUVA) commissioned Vienna Medical University to research the effects of cell phone radiation on the brain, immune system, and proteins. The AUVA studies have further confirmed the existence of non-thermal effects from mobile phone radiation, reinforcing the need for governments to adjust exposure guidelines.
Brian Stein, Chairman of Radiation Research Trust, and CEO of food giant, Samworth Brothers, adds "Responsible action on the part of governments is urgently required to protect future generations."
The UK Radiation Research Trust (RRT) is a leading health advocacy organization mobilizing supporters and advocating for a precautionary approach to electromagnetic radiation and government warnings regarding wireless technologies. Its purpose is to uncover and communicate the true facts concerning electromagnetic radiation and health.

All official evidence that developer 2K Marin is working on a shooter set in the XCOM universe is vanishing from the Internet. Surprisingly, extraterrestrials aren't responsible for this … 2K is.
Publisher 2K has dropped the official XCOM website that teased the shooter's eventual release. The company also removed the official video preview from its YouTube page, according to Quarter To Three.
A recent, unconfirmed report from Kotaku's rumormonger Superannuation suggests that 2K may rebrand the XCOM shooter as The Bureau. That is based on recent domain registrations by the publisher.
We reached out to the company and a spokesperson provided the following statement: "2K has no comment on the web sites coming down. Also, it is official company policy to not comment on rumors or speculation.
"That said, thank you for your interest in the XCOM shooter."
That's not much, but it is a spokesperson officially recognizing that the XCOM shooter is still a thing. That doesn't necessarily mean anything.
The XCOM series is in a strong position these days. The updated strategy release, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, was one of the best-reviewed games of 2012. It reinvigorated the series. The publisher is preparing to release the title on iPad, and a sequel is definitely in the cards.
It's possible that 2K would want to rebrand the 2K Marin shooter as something other than XCOM so it doesn't distract from the core product. That could explain why the website is down, but it's not the only possible explanation.

Damascus will allow a UN team of chemical weapons investigators to examine a suburb of Damascus where an alleged chemical weapons attack took place late last week.
The Syrian foreign ministry broadcast a statement on state television announcing their decision to allow the UN team access to "investigate allegations of chemical weapons use in Damascus province", according to BBC.
The government statement added that the decision was approved following the conclusion of discussions with UN disarmament chief Angela Kane.
The UN chemical weapons team, already in Syria investigating previous allegations of chemical weapons use, is to begin their work on Monday, BBC reported.
Syrian activists report that between 500 and 1,300 people died when poisonous nerve gas was dropped on a residential rebel-held suburbs of Damascus early on Wednesday morning.
Earlier on Sunday, a US official accused Damascus of "indiscriminate use of chemical weapons", BBC reported. He said the delay in Damascus giving the UN team permission to examine the chemical weapons site was meant to allow evidence to degrade.
Meanwhile, the Syrian authorities have blamed "terrorists" for the attacks, referring to the opposition forces.
State media on Saturday reported that chemical agents had been found in the underground tunnel system used by rebel fighters, and that government soldiers "suffered from cases of suffocation" when rebels used poison gas "as a last resort" after government forces made "big gains" in the suburb of Jobar.
